Dani woke up in her small bedroom to silence. She slightly opened her eyes and closed them quickly in pain, as she realized... She was hungover. She made quiet groaning sounds as she rubbed her forehead. She then noticed she wasn't in her bed. She was in a small chair in her bedroom that barely fit. She tried stretched her legs, and rubbed her neck that was sore due to the awkward sitting position she slept in, and it wasn't after until she actually opened her eyes. What she saw must have been an illusion. She smacked herself.

"Am I still drunk?" She whispered. On her bed, was a very sleepy Santana. Santana's jeans were hanging on the edge of Dani's bed, which meant that Santana had no pants on.

"What happened...?" Dani whispered again to herself. She rubbed her eyes and froze, when she saw Santana stir. Santana then made a low, but very cute, groan that Dani couldn't help but smile at.

"Am I dead?" Santana said into Dani's pillow, groggily.

"Yes. You and I both." Santana looked up at Dani with a worried face. She cleared her throat.

"Uhm- Dani?" Dani rubbed her neck again. She spoke, her voice very raspy. "Yeah?" Santana then pulled Dani's comforter up to her chest.

"Why do I have no pants on?" Dani shrugged.

"Maybe you kicked them off while you were sleeping." Santana slowly nodded. Santana cleared her throat again.

"Uh- Dani?"

"Hmm?" Dani hummed.

"Would you..?" Santana twirled her finger once to signal for Dani to turn around. Well, turning around would be practically impossible because of her small room, so Dani smiled lightly and cover her eyes with her hands.

"I won't look, I promise." Dani could hear Santana pull the comforter down, and grab her pants. Okay, Dani couldn't help herself and peeked a little peek. And what a peek it was. All Dani saw was a little leg, but just enough for Dani to get some very perverted thoughts.

"Are you peeking?" Dani giggled, trying to play it off.

"Maybe, maybe not." Santana smirked at Dani after Dani let her hands fall.

"Well, wouldn't you be offended if I didn't look?" Santana then grabbed her phone that rested on Dani's small shelf. "Are you just trying to switch this around? It's not really working." Dani then put a finger up and yelled, "Aha! But it worked a little!" Santana laughed before she checked the time.

"Oh my gosh... it's five in the morning." Santana said, her eyes a little wide.

"Huh, I guess it is. You wanna get a burger?"

Dani and Santana walked to the nearby burger shop, talking about music on the way. Dani of course, held the door open for Santana, and then they sat down in a booth.

"So, what led to me waking up in your bed last night?" Santana asked before she took a bite of her burger. No one was in the burger place this early. Dani thought for a second.

"I think you were really drunk so I took your car keys. Then you fell asleep in my bed so I slept in my chair." Dani nodded and dipped a french fry in her milkshake and ate it.

"How did you think of the car keys part?" Dani reached in her pocket, and handed Santana her car keys.

"That's how." Dani smiled and looked out the window. Santana sighed with a smile on her face.

"Hey what are you looking at?" Dani then looked at Santana. Dani had a light smile while she talked.

"When I was little, my mom always brought me here. Sometimes it was just to watch the sunrise, sometimes for the shakes. We always sat in this booth right here and watched it together." Dani then looked back out at the slowly rising sun.

"I have always loved watching this place go from quiet and dark to just suddenly... glowing." Dani got lost in the sunrise and completely forgot about everything.

"She sounds amazing." Dani then turned her head back to Santana, Santana staring straight at her, as if she was staring at her this whole time. Dani felt a light blush creep up her neck. She cleared her throat and forced a smile. She then adjusted herself awkwardly.

"Yeah she uh- was. You ready to blow this Popsicle stand?" Santana noticed the change in mood. "Yeah sure." Dani took one more glance at the shop before she walked out with Santana back to the mansion.

A few days later...

Quin called Dani downstairs for a "meeting". Dani was really just done with this stuff. Going along with whatever they tell her to do. Dani reached the piano room, and saw Quin standing by it, Mark sitting on the piano bench.

"Sit down Dani." Quin said. Dani sat on a chair that Quin probably put there, and listened to what they were going to ask.

"I was offered a record deal by Lopez Records!" Quin squealed. Dani then felt a knife, stabbed through her chest, all the way to her heart.

"You? Have they heard you sing, like ever?" Dani said with a disgusted face. Quin then looked offended. "That's why you're here dear." Mark said, obviously drunk off his ass. Dani was bothered by the bottle of whiskey on the grand piano. No respect... Dani thought.

"Well, they're considering me, since I let Santana borrow my song book."

"My songbook." Dani corrected, casually. It wasn't a surprise to Dani that Quin would do something like this.

"Whatever. They are having me take Santana around campus tomorrow, and we are going to be talking about music." Dani saw what she wanted.

"And that's where I come in. Yeah no, I'm out." Dani then began to leave, until Mark stood up and began talking.

"If you don't do this Danielle, maybe that little savings account that mommy left for you won't be there anymore." Dani clenched her fists. It was her only way out of that place. She was fuming as anger enveloped her.

"Fine." Dani said, back still turned to the two wicked steps.

"You will also probably be recording music for Quin to lip-sync to in the future. My little girl is gonna be a star!" Mark yelled, wrapping Quin in his arms. Dani left the room, and left the house, trying to let her anger out by running. Once the mansion was out of her vision, Dani just started to break. Balling her eyes out, sobbing. She hasn't cried this hard in a long time. It was like her mom died all over again. Memories of her just came flying back, but Dani knew that this moment was bound to come soon.
