Woot woot! Another chapter hella quick! Lol. This chapter will be Glee and like I said in the summary and in the first chapter, Dani will be starting off as our main character. :) She's still with Santana here and Finn is alive! Enjoy!
Before You Start Your Day
"I know this is really last minute but do you want to come to Lima with me?" A nervous Santana asked. Dani rolled on her side to get a better view of her girlfriend. "What's the reason and for how long?" She mumbled, still more asleep than awake. She glanced over the Latina to look at the clock and saw it was only six in the morning. She groaned at how early it was and looked back to Santana. "The glee club lost Nationals and Coach Sue finally ended glee club. These two weeks everyone from the glee club, new and old, are going back to say their goodbyes. I already talked to Gunther for the both of us and he actually said yes. It's really important to me Dani... and I want everyone to know you're my girlfriend." Santana said. Dani pulled Santana closer to her as she listened to her speak. She knew the glee club was special to Santana. That was the one group and place that helped her be the person she is now. She kissed Santana's forehead and hugged her girlfriend closer. "Of course I'll go with you. When are we leaving and for how long?" She asked. She felt Santana's hand on her chest as the girl pushed herself up.
"Uhm... in an hour?" Santana asked cheekily. Dani looked at her surprised as the taller girl only shrugged and kissed her cheek. "Since we're going by car, the wonder twins wanted to leave early. You know them." Santana said, slipping on a pair of jeans. Dani chuckled and shook her head as she rolled off the bed and picked up her own jeans from the floor. She smirked when she saw Santana bend down to her lower drawers to pick out a shirt. Dani took advantage and went over to Santana and pressed her body against her girlfriend's. Santana let out a small yelp in surprise and giggled when Dani turned her around to kiss her lips. "I love you, you know that?" Santana said. Dani only smiled and pecked her lips again in response. "I love you more. Now hurry and get ready. I have to get some clothes packed for the next two weeks." Dani said, smacking Santana's ass. Santana only laughed at her as she slipped on her shoes. While Santana finished getting ready, Dani quickly pulled out a duffel bag and threw in some clothes. She grabbed her combat boots and slipped those on and quickly went to the bathroom to apply her daily make up and fix her hair.
Once she was done, she went back to her room to see Santana still putting make up as she looked at herself in Dani's full body mirror. "Oh my god Santana. I had to pack my clothes and still get ready to go and you're still not ready!" Dani exclaimed, shaking her head in amusement. Santana rolled her eyes as she finished putting on her mascara. "Hey, getting this hot takes time okay? You're lucky. You're already hot ass hell without having to try." Santana said. Dani chuckled and pecked the Latina's lips. Santana's pout turned into a smile as she kissed Dani back.
"You're always beautiful and hot and sexy." Dani said. She chuckled when she saw Santana blush and grabbed her bag. "Okay, let's go get your stuff and Kurt and Rachel." Dani said. Santana shook her head as she saw her girlfriend go out of her apartment forgetting something. She went into Dani's closet and took out the leather jacket Dani always wore. If the blue haired girl wasn't in her Spotlight Diner uniform, she was always wearing her leather jacket. She stood in the middle of the living room and held out the jacket, knowing Dani would come back. Not a few seconds later, Santana heard Dani from outside drop her bag. "Shit!" She exclaimed and went back to the apartment, grinning shyly when she saw the smirk on Santana's face as she held out her favorite jacket. "You know me so well." Dani said, taking the with one hand and taking Santana's hand with her other. She locked her apartment and picked her bag up again, earning herself a chuckle from Santana.
She arched an eyebrow at the taller girl as they walked to the elevator. "Only you would forget to bring your favorite jacket." Santana said. Dani shrugged her shoulders with a smile and leaned her head on Santana. They stepped out of the elevator then and headed to Santana's car. "I'll drive babe. You're not exactly the most patient driver ever. I still don't know why your parents decided to give you a car." Dani said, taking the keys from Santana. Said girl only grinned and got in the car. "I'm an awesome driver. I really don't know what you're talking about. And they gave me this amazing Escalade because my dad sold my Mercedes Benz and because I'm their princess!" Santana said innocently. Dani only chuckled as she drove to Santana's loft that she shared with Kurt and Rachel.
She stopped the car right at the front of their loft. "Just wait here. I'll hurry the twins up and get my stuff." Santana said. Dani nodded and stayed in the car. A few minutes went by and Santana still hadn't come down with Kurt and Rachel and Dani began to get bored. She turned on the radio and started searching through her channels. She groaned when none of her favorite channels weren't playing music and so she started searching through every station. "How are all the stations not playing any music at the same time!" She exclaimed in frustration. She turned the radio back off and huffed. Santana finally came down and with a pissed off Rachel and an irritated Kurt.
Dani sighed when she saw Santana pushing Rachel to the car while she was dragging both their bags. "A little help would be nice." Kurt said when Dani rolled down the window. Dani looked back to Rachel and Santana and saw them both yelling. "Wait Santana! I need to get my wig for Funny Girl! I just can't leave it!" Rachel yelled. Santana rolled her eyes and threw Rachel in with their bags. "Oh shut it Yentl. Your wig will be perfectly fine on its own. The door is locked and that's why we have security in this forsaken building. So they make sure someone doesn't steal your stupid wig." Santana yelled back. She looked at Dani and rolled her eyes when Rachel only glared at her. Dani shook her head and waited for them to get situated in the car.
"So are we ready?" She asked with an amused tone. Her day hasn't even started and Rachel and Santana were already at each other's throats. When she got a yes from everybody, she started the car and headed down the street to the freeway. The four of them stayed silent for a while, Kurt singing a few Broadway classics with Rachel. Not even an hour had passed since they got on the freeway and Santana was at her limit with the Broadway songs. "Enough! I'll turn on the radio! I'll plug in my phone! Anything for you and Lady Hummel to shut up!" Santana yelled. Rachel smiled sweetly in return while Kurt rolled his eyes. "You could just ask us to be quiet nicely, you know?" He asked.
Santana snorted and turned the radio on. Dani gave the two in the back a sympathetic smile as she watched Santana jab at the buttons furiously. "Babe, none of the stations are playing any music. I checked before you guys got in. I don't know why. Just plug in your phone." Dani said softly.
"Are you kidding me?" Santana asked, a bit irritated. Dani gave her a soft smile and looked at the road. Santana groaned and pulled out her phone and car adapter. She plugged them in and just as she was going to press play, her phone started ringing. "You gotta be shitting me." She mumbled. Dani only chuckled as she moved to the next lane. "Hey Q, what's up?" Santana said.
Rachel sat up and leaned forward over to Santana. "Is that Quinn?! Ask her if she's going to come to Lima! Tell her I said hi! Oh and ask her why hasn't sh-" "Jesus Christ Berry! Your gay is showing! Cover it up will you?" Santana said, holding her hand up, stopping Rachel. Rachel flopped back down in her seat and crossed her arms. "I'm not gay… I just wanted to know if she was going to go…" Rachel mumbled to Kurt, who only rubbed her arm soothingly. Dani couldn't help the chuckle and shook her head when Rachel tried to glare at her, only to end up being glared at by Santana.
"Sorry about that Q. Anyways, what did you say?" She asked. "I asked if you guys were driving to Lima or going by plane." Quinn answered. Santana snorted at the annoyed tone. "Well, if you must know, we're going by car. We're on our way now actually. Why do you ask?" Santana answered again with a question. She waited a few seconds for Quinn to say something. She heard Quinn curse on the other end followed by a grunt. "Do my ears deceive me or you getting some sexy times at this very moment Quinnie? Never pegged you the bold type to get on the phone while getting it on Q!" Santana joked. She scowled when Dani slapped her hand and whispered a 'be nice.'
"Whatever San. You wish I was just so you could hear me moan again huh?" Quinn retorted. Santana laughed at that and shook her head. "Anyways, why did you ask?" She asked again. "All flights are canceled. I was going to go by plane but for some strange reason all flights are cancelled. Have you guys seen the news? There's something going on and that's why they canceled the flights. Something about an infection and how their doing blood tests in certain areas to make sure they're not infected or not." Quinn explained. Santana sat up and looked more serious now.
"What do you mean an infection? Where are you right now?" She asked, sounding a bit worried but doing her best to cover it. This didn't go unnoticed by Dani though. The blue haired girl gave Santana a questioning look, while the other only shrugged and took one of Dani's hands. Santana heard Quinn curse at someone before she answered her. "I'm renting a car over here. I'm not sure though. They didn't really explain but it seems serious if their doing blood tests. Apparently if you are infected, you can't leave wherever you came from. As of now, the have checkpoints in California, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and a few other states. I'll see you and the wonder twins in Lima though." Quinn said before hanging up.
"What's wrong San?" Dani asked. Santana stayed quiet for a while before looking at Dani. "All the airports are closed." She said. She flinched when Kurt and Rachel both spoke up and loudly. "What do you mean the airports are closed?" They both said in unison. Santana rolled her eyes and sighed.
"You heard me twins. The airports are closed. Something about an infection and they can't have those who are infected out of their states. They have some checkpoints probably for like poison control or something in different states where the infection has already been exposed I guess." She explained. Dani stayed quiet while Kurt and Rachel began attacking Santana with questions that she didn't know the answers to. She suddenly turned the radio on and checked the stations again. Like the first time, no music was being played but some news were being given.
She sighed when she couldn't hear because of Rachel and Santana mainly, and so she turned the volume up a bit. Still not being able to hear, she sighed again and looked at the two girls. "Can you two shut it for a minute!" She then snapped. The car went dead silent and Dani took the opportunity to turn the volume up even more. "Well then…" Santana mumbled. Dani ignored her and put her attention to the radio.
"This is Star 98.7, and we have some vital news everyone would want to hear. The officials have finally announced that all airports will be closed. No planes will be taking flight due to some infection. We don't know much about this or what caused this, but apparently, the infection is deadly, and can be contagious. How? We still don't know but we'll let all you listeners know once we figure it out. There are a few checkpoints already spread across the US and the government is already sending more troops and poison control specialists to more places. We just learned that the made a checkpoint on the northwest part of Ohio. You heard right. The northwest part of Ohio, meaning those who live in that area or are heading that way will not be able to enter or leave. We hope things get cleared out soon. That's all we have for now. Stay tuned in case we have more news of what is going on."
The four stayed quiet as they soaked the news in. They knew things were serious if the radio stations were announcing what was going on instead of playing music. Dani ran a hand through her hair and took a deep breath. Her day hasn't even started and things have gotten pretty hectic already. "We can't go to Lima..." Rachel finally mumbled. Kurt looked at her in shock and worry. "But Blaine is there! So is Finn! We need to get to them!"He yelled. Dani took Santana's hand and rubbed it as she slowed down due to the traffic. "What are you thinking?" Dani asked Santana. The Latina only shook her head, lost in thought. "San, babe, you there?" Dani tried again, giving her a soft smile when Santana snapped back.
"Sorry... I was just thinking." Santana said, turning her phone on again. Dani only nodded as she gave Santana time to explain herself. She knew that when Santana was deep in thought, one had to leave her be. She sighed when she saw that the traffic wasn't moving anymore and leaned her head on the window. She smiled when she felt Santana kiss her hand and then went back to her phone. After a few minutes of silence and everyone lost in their own world, Santana cut off the silence. "Brittany said that they made a checkpoint in Massachusetts but she left before they made it. So she's on her way to Lima. Finn isn't in Lima. He had joined Puck and Sam on their road trip to California. Puck told me their stuck in Michigan though. Mercedes is with them. Quinn just texted me too, saying she's on the road already." Santana informed them. Rachel sighed in relief.
Kurt still looked troubled because of Blaine. "So, what are we gonna do if we can't get into Lima." He asked. Rachel shrugged as the two looked at Santana. Santana only shrugged and looked to Dani. "What do you think we should do Dan?" She asked. Dani hummed in thought. She knew they would ask her as she usually came up with the group ideas. She sighed as the traffic jam finally dispersed and they were on the way again. She took the next exit and stopped the car at a gas station. "I think we should meet up with Quinn. You guys said she goes to Yale, meaning she's the closest from your friends. Then we'll see from there. How's that sound? I mean, judging by what Quinn's told you and what we heard on the radio, this is something serious. So it's best if we get to many of your friends as possible." Dani explained. She waited patiently while the rest thought about her idea. They all shared a look and Santana looked back at her girlfriend with a smile. "I'll call Quinn and tell her to meet us at Riverside Park in Hartford. We can't go to Massachusetts since they have a checkpoint there." Santana explained.
They all looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Once Santana told Quinn the plan, she motioned for Dani to get back on the road. "So, Riverside Park, Hartford it is then." Dani said going to the freeway. Santana nodded and kept her phone in hand, waiting for any of their friends to let her in on what they know so far.
Woot woot! Got another chapter up on the same day! Lol. next chapter we'll go back to where we left off with Faking It. Things quickly got serious over there in Texas! What will happen when Dani's gang meets up with Quinn? Ya'll know what to do! :)
