She ran as fast as her little legs would carry her, a grin on her face as she went, bouncing on her toes and skipping every now and then, she was so excited. She ran down the front path, along the pavement, giggling at the sound of her trainers flopping down, their lights flashing every step, she ran round the corner and jumped the gate, she stopped and looked at the huge hill. It's like a mountain! She grinned and climbed it, imagining she was an explorer. When she reached the top she saw her destination, the swings and started grinning again, breaking into a run immediately when she saw who was sat on them.
"Britt! Hey! Britt!" The girl called still pegging it down the hill, waving her arms frantically at her friend, the other girl looked up and saw her, smiling happily. The blonde waved and Santana was so excited that she didn't see what was right in front of her. The edge of her shoe got caught on a rock and Brittany watched as the little girl tripped and fell over, crashing to the ground with a loud thud. There was a moment of stillness as they registered what had just happened, before Brittany took off towards the little latina who was currently lying face down in the dirt.
"Santana!" Brittany shouted as she stopped next to the girl, getting down on her knees and helping her up. "Are you okay?" She asked the 5 year old plonking down on her butt beside her. The other girl sniffled and nodded, fighting back her tears and sulking, making Brittany giggle. "You're so silly San."
"No I'm not." She insisted, crossing her arms, frowning and pouting, glaring at the tiny rock that made her trip. "That rock was just mean is all." Brittany again giggled at the brunettes silly-ness but stopped suddenly when she saw blood trailing down Santanas leg.
"San, you're bleeding!" She gasped, pointing in shock, Santana looked down and screwed up her face, almost starting to cry at the pain. Brittany saw this and quickly pulled the sleeve on her jumper down and carefully wiped away the red liquid. "It's okay, I'll make it better San" She grinned, trying to calm the shorter girl who was still sad.
"My mami isn't here to kiss it better though Britt. It still hurts." She pouted. Brittany frowned, she couldn't run and get Santanas mum could she? No. It would take too long and then Santana wouldn't be allowed to play 'cos she'd hurt herself. Suddenly she was struck with a idea!
"I'll kiss it better!" She exclaimed, grinning like she was the smartest girl in the world. Santana blushed, but before she could insist it was alright, Brittany leant down and kissed the small cut, still smiling when she sat back up. "There, all better?"
Santana couldn't stop the smile that spread across her face, so she just nodded, feeling all silly. "Good." Brittany stated and with that she got up and ran back towards the swings, motioning for Santana to follow. It was at that point that Santana knew that Brittany was very special and that together, they would be great. She just didn't realise how important Brittany would eventually be to her.
