AN: This is a one shot that was done for the BrittanaCon Prompt Project. This means it originally wasn't written as part of this universe however, with some quick word changes it is now!

This takes place between the last chapter and the epilogue of The Art of Being Us but you don't need to read that to understand this (though I always appreciate it if you do).

An update for A Perfect Defect is on the way. It's written and just needs editing so it should be posted really soon!

Enjoy!


Brittany bounced her leg up and down in anticipation for the day ahead of them. She glanced at Santana who was looking less than excited. "We're going to have so much fun San." She said with a huge smile.

Santana quickly stopped herself from giving into the blonde's infectious grin. "A day full of long lines and gross, sticky kids?" She rolled her eyes. "Sounds super fun Britt."

Brittany leaned over the center console and placed a gentle kiss to Santana's temple. "I promise I'll do my best to keep the sticky kids away from you."

Now Santana couldn't fight the smile; Brittany was too cute. "Thank you babe."

They pulled into the parking lot and before Santana knew it, they were waiting to get into Disney World Animal Kingdom. She watched as Brittany tried to peer over the people in front of them to see where they were in the line. Suddenly the blonde grabbed onto her arm. "We're almost in San!"

Santana laughed. "We're not even in yet and we're already waiting in a line."

"Good things are worth waiting for." Brittany countered with a smirk that made Santana's heart flutter.

Just as they went to show their passes a little boy, who was clearly on a sugar high, ran straight into Santana's side and sent her pass flying from her hand. "Hey!" Santana turned to face the boy as Brittany ran after the pass. "Weren't you taught to watch where you're going?"

The boy, who hadn't stopped laughing, started to run away before he was caught by a woman that Santana could only assume was his mother. "I'm so sorry." The woman apologized before turning to her son. "Jason." She warned in a stern voice.

The boy hung his head. "I'm sorry." He mumbled half-heartedly before running off.

Santana rolled her eyes and sighed. She jumped slightly when she felt arms wrap around her but quickly realized those arms belonged to her fiancé. "Relax." The blonde whispered into her ear; and she did. It always surprised Santana how one word from Brittany could change her mood completely.

They showed their passes and entered the Animal Kingdom. "Where first?" Santana asked. When she didn't get a response she turned around to see Brittany already running towards a fenced area. She ran up beside her fiancé and watched the strange looking birds walk around behind the fence.

"Aren't they cute?" The blonde asked with a smile.

Santana wrinkled her nose at the odd bird; she had never really thought of birds as cute. "It's kind of weird looking Britt."

"It's unique." Brittany beamed as she linked her pinky with Santana's, causing the brunette to smile in adoration. "Before we go on rides I want to make one stop."

Before Santana could ask her fiancé what the stop was, Brittany was dragging her by the hand across the park. When they came to a fenced off area filled with kids, the brunette looked up to read the sign. "Affection Section?" She looked at Brittany, who was grinning from ear to ear. "Is this a petting zoo Britt?"

Brittany shrugged innocently. "Maybe."

"You're kidding right?" Santana scoffed. "You're saying I have to deal with bratty kids and stinky animals at the same time?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying." Brittany stated and gave her fiancé a quick smile.

The last thing Santana wanted to do was pet some smelly animals while little kids ran around her, but Brittany's smile made her heart skip a beat. She crumbled under the pressure of her fiancé's joy; under the pressure of her love for the innocent, adorable blonde. "Ok, but rides after this right?"

Brittany smiled wider, leaned over and placed a gentle kiss to Santana's cheek. "Of course." She took Santana's hand and led her through the gate.

Santana watched as Brittany pet a baby goat that had walked up to them. The blonde turned to Santana and gestured for her to pet the animal. "What if it bites me?" The brunette asked as she slowly moved closer.

Brittany laughed. "Do you really think they would let people in here if the animals bit?"

"You never know, there's a first for everything!"

The blonde rolled her eyes and pulled Santana down so they were both at the goat's height. She gently guided Santana's hand along the animal's back. "Soft right?"

The goat's fur was really soft, and she couldn't help but smile at the way he stumbled around. "I guess this isn't so bad." Just as Santana was about to admit she was enjoying herself, a kid back up into Brittany, knocking the blonde to the ground and scaring the baby goat away. Santana quickly grabbed her fiancé's arm. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Brittany answered.

"Good." Santana helped Brittany up then turned and glared at the kid that had knocked Brittany over. She was about to walk over when she felt Brittany's hand around her arm.

"I'm ok San." She assured her. "He didn't mean to push me."

"I don't care if he didn't mean to. That kid clearly needs a lesson on manors from auntie Snix."

"He's just excited and having fun." Brittany pulled Santana closer to her so their bodies were almost pressed against one another. "The same reason we're here, right?" Santana nodded slowly. "As much as I love Snix, this isn't the time or place for her."

"Fine." Santana rolled her eyes and let out a long sigh.

Brittany started to walk towards the pig pens but turned back around to face her the brunette. "Save Snix for tonight." She winked and Santana felt her stomach do somersaults.

The rest of the day was filled with a lot of animals, some rides and an annoyingly high number of kids for Santana's taste. The women had made their way to the Magical Kingdom and experienced every ride they could handle until the sun started to set.

Brittany sat down on a bench and patted the seat beside her, coaxing her fiancé to join her. "I had a lot of fun today San." She said as she leaned her head on the brunette's shoulder.

"I did too Britt." She took Brittany's hand in hers and started softly rubbing her knuckles.

Brittany sat up and put her hand around the back of Santana's neck, gently gliding her thumb along her fiancé's tanned cheek. Santana turned to face the blonde. Before she could register what was happening, Brittany pulled her closer and their lips met for a passionate kiss. When they parted, Santana curiously eyed her. "What was that for?"

"For trying," Brittany smiled, "and succeeding, not to yell at any little kids all day."

Santana smiled back and stood up, offering her hand to Brittany. Before her fiancé could accept, a girl ran between them, ducking under Santana's arm and spilling her drink on the brunette's shoes all in one fell swoop.

Both women looked down at Santana's shoes in disbelief. Brittany looked back up at her fiancé with worry. "San…" Without looking back up, Santana started laughing. "Oh no." Brittany stood up and put her hands on her the other woman's shoulder. "Did they push you past the breaking point; have you finally lost it?" She asked nervously.

Santana shook her head and looked up at Brittany. "No babe, I'm ok."

Brittany's brow furrowed. "You're not angry?"

The brunette smiled. "How could I be angry when I'm with someone that makes me so happy?"

Brittany looked up in thought. "We're at Disney so... magic?" Brittany joked.

Santana rolled her eyes and was caught off guard when Brittany leaned in to place another quick peck to her lips.

"I love you." The blonde smiled.

Santana looked into bright blue eyes that were now illuminated by the fireworks going off above the castle. "I love you too Britt."
