"No brittany... No. No. No.. Wake up!" Santana said while clutching the blonde's blood covered body.

Santana cried while craddling the body of the blonde. Her tears were flowing like a water fall, she can't stop it no matter how she tried.

Don't please... I haven't told you that I like you yet.. Please..

"Please, santa or god or anybody who's there... Not yet.. Please.." Santana said through a sob. "Someone fucking call a police! An ambulance!"

The jet were filled with tears and cries. This was supposed to be an exciting trip to New York, their plans to enjoy the weekend at the Big Apple was turned into a nightmare.

"Brittany please.. Wake up.." Santana said crying hard.

Rachel, Tina and Mercedes were crying as hard as Santana, Kurt was sobbing on his boyfriend's shirt, Finn and Artie were too shocked to say something and Puck was kneeling on the floor with the heel of his hands on his eyes.

"What the fuck is happening here?"

"Quinn! No! No! Ruuuuuun!" Rachel told Quinn.

Quinn stepped inside the plane confused with Mike and the Pilot in tow.

"Oh my god!" Quinn said as she saw Santana on the floor with Brittany's body in her arms. And the people inside bawling their eyes out.

"You guys are siiiiiiiiiiick!" Mike said while laughing.

The gleeks looked at Mike like he had grown three heads. Santana whipped her head then glared at Mike.

"You think this is funny?" Santana spat. "You're fucking friend was dead! And you're laughing!why hasn't anyone called a fucking ambulance!"

Mike threw his hands up in surrender while Quinn shook her head.

"I can't believe you guys did this.." Quinn said exasperated.

Then suddenly they heard two voices laughing.

"You guys just got punk'd bitches!"

Puck laughed loudly while standing up. "This is so epic!" He clutched on his stomach.

Then the masked guys stood up and walked out of the jet like nothing happened.

"Thanks guys! You're the best!" Puck yelled to the guys.

"What?" Santana asked confused.

"What is happening?"

"Oh my god!"

Brittany stood up laughing. "Surprise!" she said while stretching her arms wide. "Jeez that fall was bad.."

To say that the New Directions were gobsmacked is an understatement. Santana who was still kneeling on the floor was too stunned to react. She was so confused of what happened and of what was currently happening.

So this was all a joke?

Santana felt her blood boiled in anger, she stood up and marched towards Brittany who was still laughing with Puck. She pushed her finger on the blonde's chest.

"This is all a joke? A fucking sick joke?"

Brittany stopped laughing then rlooked at the angry brunette in front of her.

"it's a prank Miss Lopez.." Brittany said in a smirk.

Quinn sat on the chair. "I can't believe you pulled this on them.." she said exasperated.

"Who's idea is this? You puck?" Mike asked as he sat beside Quinn.

"No! It's B.. I just helped her with this.." Puck defended.

"You think this is funny?" Santana asked still furious.

"Yes?"

"Oh my fucking god! I bawled my eyes out, cried like a hysterical woman because I saw that guy shot you in front of me with my two fucking eyes and then you're telling me this is all a prank?" Santana exclaimed.

"Okay.. I'm sorry but this is tradition.." Brittany exclaimed

"Tradition?" Mercedes asked.

"Yeah! If Mckinley has.." Brittany looked at Santana. "icy facial as your welcome treat to newbies.. Well this is our grand welcome gesture to our lovely passengers here at Air Pierce..." Brittany said while high five-ing Puck.

"So welcome to Air Pierce, New Directions where we fly you to the moon.." Puck said dramatically.

"Ugh. That was so lame! Told you not to use that again." Brittany said disgusted.

"You didn't waited for me.." Mike said shaking his head.

Santana was rooted on the spot, she's still wasn't grasping all that has happened. She was looking around, from her friends to the New Yorkers. She ran her fingers through her hair frustrated and sighed. She can't believe that they did this wicked act. She thought everything was real, because it did seem real, starting from the guys, the act, the gun, and the shot.

The shot. How did that happen?

"Wait wait. So if this is a prank... He shot you.. We all heard it.. And.. The blood.." Santana said gesturing to Brittany's body.

"Easy peasy! Special effects..." Brittany said shrugging.

Puck throw in a remote control to Brittany, then she pressed the play button and a gun shot effect was booming inside the plane.

"And the blood? Of course it's fake!" Brittany said as she lifted her shirt and peeled off a small container attached to her ribs wherein it contained the fake blood a few minutes ago.

"I apologize for the immaturity of these two.. I'm sorry.." Quinn said apologetically. "Now you guys clean up, we're behind the schedule." Quinn said as she stood up and went to the Pilot.

"Hey.." Brittany said softly as she approached the latina.

Santana looked at her with swollen and puffy eyes.

"I know you probably hate me but I just wanna say.. I... Uh.." Brittany trailed off.

"Yo Britt, you guys go to the bathroom to change.. You know how Q turns into a green monster regards to delayed flight." Puck said as he talked and laughed with others.

"I heard that Puckerman!" Quinn yelled.

Brittany led Santana at the end of the hallway to the bathroom. Santana was still angry at Brittany for pulling the act on them, her heart was still beating fast due to the adrenaline and the fear that she felt a while ago. She felt her body shaking, seeing the blonde's body lying on the floor was a sight she never wanted to see again.

"Here ya go! Wait here, i'll bring you a shirt.."

"I have my clothes.." Santana said sternly.

"No.. I'll get it.. Stay here.." Brittany said then went off to get some shirt for her and Santana.

When the blonde left, Santana looked at herself in the mirror.

Fuck! I hate you right now Brittany Pierce! I fucking hate you.. Do you know how I felt? I was so damn scared, I thought I lost you.. I thought I lost you before you even become mine... Fuck it!

"Can I come in?" Brittany asked through the closed door.

Santana was pissed off at Brittany, she still like her a lot but she can't help but be pissed at her right now.

"Here.." Brittany said while handing the latina a shirt.

"This isn't mine.." Santana said.

"I know because that's mine.. C'mon just wear it..."

Santana glared at the blonde who was smiling.

Really? You had the gut to smile at me?

"It won't do you no harm.. And I don't wanna invade your personal things.. So.. Yeah." Brittany shrugged.

"Fine!" Santana said annoyed.

"Do you wanna take a shower?" Brittany asked as she wet a towel.

"No." Santana said sternly.

Santana turned around then took of her shirt. Brittany handed her the wet clothe for Santana to wipe the fake blood that stained her hands and arms. Brittany looked at her image through the mirror.

Shit! Fuck! She got nice bo-... What are you doing Brittany? Stop leering! Oh god!

Brittany shook her head and pulled another towel and run it into water. She then pulled her shirt off then wiped the stains on her chest and stomach. Santana turned around and then felt her breath hitched on her throat. She saw Brittany clad on her bra and jeans, the blonde was oblivious at the latina gawking at her. Santana wanted to tear her eyes away, but her body wasn't obeying her. She allowed her eyes to roam to the blonde's neck to the valley of her breasts to her flat toned stomach then back to her cleavage. She felt her arousal pooling at the most sensitive part of her body.

When Brittany was done, she looked on the mirror and saw Santana looking at her, she hurriedly put a shirt on and suddenly felt shy.

"C'mon hop on the counter.." Brittany said still looking at her. "Your eyes were so puffy.." she said as she wet another clothe.

"I can do it myself." Santana said bitterly.

"It's the least I can do.." Brittany said hopeful.

Santana scoffed. "Right.."

Brittany pulled her closer into her, her hands went directly into the back of Santana's thigh making the brunette's eyes widen from the boldness of the blonde. Then Brittany pulled her up allowing her to sit on the counter.

"There you go.." Brittany told the brunette.

Santana gulped and felt her heart beat fast, her throat become dry and felt lightheaded. Brittany went over to the laundry bin to dispose the two other towels and then went over to Santana.

"Look.. We didn't mean to upset you or what.." Brittany started then unconsciously moved in between the latina's legs.

"I apologize for me and Noah.." Brittany said while lightly dabbing the towel on the brunette's swollen eyes.

"I was so scared.." Santana said in a whisper.

"I know... I didn't mean to okay?"

"I hate you..." Lie.

"I won't blame you if that's what you're feeling right now.."

Santana looked at the blonde. "I don't get it why'd you have to do that?"

Brittany chuckled. "I told you it's tradition.."

"tradition..."

Brittany nodded. "Imagine it as ritual... Don't worry it's not the first time we pulled that prank... As i've told you it's tradition..."

"it's not funny to be honest.."

"i know.. My cousin nearly had a heart attack tho.." Brittany chuckled at the memory.

Santana slapped her arm.

"Who were those guys?"

"The bad guys?" Brittany said in an air quoting gesture. "our staff, they know the drill. I mean when we fly with our friends and shit.."

"Right."

"What? It's a brilliant idea from yours truly.." Brittany said smugly.

"You guys should be nominated for Emmy's or Golden Globes... You have a high chance of winning.." Santana said annoyed.

Brittany looked at the latina. "I'm sorry okay? If you're still mad at me.. It's okay.. I understand.. Like honestly I do..."

"Yeah you should. It's not funny.." Santana said as she crossed her Arms.

"I'm sorry.."

"Yeah right..."

"Tell me what To do for you to forgive me.." Brittany said seriously.

"Beg for forgiveness.."

Brittany was about to kneel down when santana stopped her. "Nah. Just Kidding!"

"You look cute right now.."

"I'm a mess and you tell me I'm cute?"

"You Look cute when you're all angry and shit.." Brittany said shyly.

"Yo-..."

"Santa-..."

Both Santana and Brittany were startled when the bathroom door opened revealing a wide eyed Rachel Berry staring at them. When they followed her line of vision and saw that Brittany was in between Santana's legs, the blonde easily backed away, blushed creeping in her ears through her cheeks, the latina on the other hand felt her cheeks burn like she was on fire.

"U-Uh.. I was.. I was just about to tell you that we're taking off.." Rachel said embarassed.

"Y-Yeah... Uhm.. y-Yes.. I-I.." Brittany said walking out of the bathroom.

When the blonde was gone, Rachel looked at Santana with raised eyebrow.

"What?" Santana asked looking at her feet.

"What was that all about huh?" Rachel teased.

"it.. It's nothing.."

"It doesn't look like nothing to me.."

"She wa-..."

"I'm sorry but I walked in on you guys in a compromising position.." Rachel said wagging her finger on the brunette.

"Is not!"

"She's situated in between your legs.. Yes.. Not a compromising position.." Rachel said sarcastically. "So Seducing her was your plan Huh?"

"it was nothing okay?" Santana said hopping of the counter and walking out of the bathroom.

Santana can't help but smile but she tried to remained stoic to show Brittany that she was still mad at her. When she went back, she saw Brittany talking to Quinn who was sitting opposite her.

"So was Brittany branding you now huh Lopez?" Puck teased.

Santana looked at him then to the gleeks confused.

"I'm sorry?"

"Your shirt.."

"My shirt?" Santana looked at her shirt then looked back at Puck.

"Oh c'mon Noah! Leave it! It's just a fucking shirt!" Brittany said

"Yeah! A shirt that has a large PIERCE printed on the back.." Puck deadpanned.

"Ugh. It's no biggie!" Brittany groaned in frustration.

Puck wiggled his eyebrows at Santana. "Now you sit down now Mrs. Pierce, we're about to take off and go to New York Citey!"

"Oh god." Brittany facepalmed herself.

Santana sat down and buckled her seat belt, she and brittany were ignoring each other. Brittany was still chatting with Quinn about how excited they were to be visiting their home.

I should have seated with Rachel. This is soooooooo awkward.

Santana looked over at Rachel who was talking animatedly with Puck, Rachel met her gaze then tilted her head to Brittany's direction. Santana shoot her a glare but the smaller brunette smiled at her knowingly, when she looked beside her, she saw Puck looking at her then wiggled his eyebrows, she can't help but roll her eyes at him.

Seriously? god! Just fucking kill me now.

"Hey are you bored?" Brittany asked as she poked Santana's cheek.

Santana looked over at Brittany then shook her head.

"Sure? If you are, just tell me.. You can use my laptop to watch a movie or something..."

"Okay.."

Not a few seconds passed and she was bored to death, if this happened a few days earlier, she would die already for sitting beside Brittany, hell she's even gonna jump and run around like a kid receiving her gift on christmas. She still is, but she kinda wants to remain mad at the blonde to show her how unhappy she was of what she did. Suddenly Puck approached them, pushing a cart with foods and champagne.

"This is what i'm talking about!" Brittany said as she stood up.

Santana looked over at Brittany, she was struggling if she's gonna continue acting mad at her or not. She was upset but not mad at her, and she's sure she can't stay mad at the blonde. She closed her eyes to ignore the inner debate that was happening between her heart and her mind.

"Hey baby.. What do you want?"

Santana shot her eyes open then looked at Brittany, but when looked at her, she was talking to Quinn.

Of course it's Quinn Fabray you dumbass!

"Cheetos?" Quinn said while reaching over at Puck handing her a champagne flute.

"How about you Lopez? What'cha want?"

"cheetos too.."

Brittany searched in the pile and pile of foods and junkfoods on the cart, then Santana saw her pout.

"There's one cheetos left.." Brittany said.

"No.. It's okay give it to Quinn.." Santana said as puffed her lips and pouted and looked at brittany like a child deprived of chocolate.

Brittany looked at her then at Quinn. "Hey Q... There's Lay's here.. If I were you i'll grab this before I do.."

"Gimme!" Quinn said after a seconds silence.

Santana looked at her hands, then Brittany lightly threw the cheetos on her lap. When she looked up, she sent the blonde a shy smile in which it was returned with a wink.

Score for Lopez! Who Knew that, that will be effective on Her.

"Champagne for you Miss Lopez.." Brittany said as she handed Santana the flute.

"Thanks..".Santana said as felt herself blush.

Little did she know that a blonde with short hair was throwing daggers at her and burning holes at her skull.

xxxxxxxxxx

"We're home!" Mike said as his foot landed on the ground.

"Welcome to New York City my fraaaaaands!" Puck said with a curtsy.

Santana was talking to an over excited Rachel when she saw on her peripheral vision Quinn hugging Brittany behind.

"We're back.." Quinn whispered to Brittany's ear.

Brittany sighed. "Yeah we're back.."

Suddenly a guy with platinum blonde hair and the biggest mouth Santana has ever seen apporached them, actually approached Brittany.

"I can't believe you're back!"

"Oh god Sam! It's great to see you!" Brittany said as Sam picked him up and spun her around.

And who the fuck is this? Wait.. Don't tell me he's a competition? Oh god. Really? Does the line for Brittany to be their girlfriend never ends?

"I missed you so much!" Sam said then pecked Brittany on the lips.

Sam caught Brittany off guard, so his lips landed straight on her lips. The gleeks dropped their jaws upon seeing the action. Santana felt like he wanted to push the blonde guy on the runway for him to be hit by a plane.

Fucking Plan to get brittany and there were a lot of people hogging for her attention..

"Wow! Evans you grew some balls! Finally... You took long enough.." Puck teased.

Quinn elbowed Puck to shut him up. "What are you doing here?" she said as she subtely pulled Brittany away from Sam.

"I'm here to fetch you guys.." Sam said with a smile.

"Uh.. Uh.. By the way... These are their friends... They're Glee Club members.." Brittany said to Sam.

"Artie Abrams yo!"

"Mercedes Jones"

"Tina Cohen-Chang"

"Finn Hudson dude..."

"Kurt Hummel"

"Blaine Anderson"

"Hi i'm Rachel Barbra Berry, pleased to meet you..."

"Lopez. Santana Lopez." Santana said disinterestedly.

"Wow B.. You got some great friends..." Sam said looking at Brittany.

"Uh-ah. They're Quinn, Noah and Mike's friends..."

"Well anyway.. Welcome to New York.. For sure you'll like it here.." Sam said as he took Brittany's hand and intertwined them.

Not as much if you're here trouty mouth!

Santana narrowed her eyes at Sam. "And you? Who are you? You know us already.. Isn't rude if you don't introduce youself to us?" Santana said using her HBIC tone.

Sam looked incredously. "Oh. Yeah I'm Sam Evans... Brittany's friend..." Sam said as he looked lovingly over at Brittany who just rolled her eyes.

Oh just great! Yes it's confirmed.. He's a competition Santana...

"So let's go then?" Sam said as she ushered them towards the waiting car.

"Hey Lopez.." Puck said as he jogged to Santana who was keeping herself calm.

"What?!" Santana snapped.

"Woah! Jet lag?" Puck joked.

Santana raised her eyebrow at Puck. She didn't have time to joke around, her good mood washed away when Sam made his grand entrance and kissed Brittany in front of them like it's normal for them to do that.

"Don't mind Sam.. He's been always like that... But B's more into the ladies than men so no worries.." Puck shrugged.

Santana halted. "what are you talking about?"

"C'mon you know what i'm talking about... I'm not blind dude!" Puck said.

"I don't know what you mean.."

"I see the way you look at my girl Brittany okay? I know you like her.. You don't have to deny it.. It's obvious.." Puck said as he started walking.

Santana run towards him. "I don't okay?"

Puck narrowed his eyes. "Okay.. But don't worry about Sam.. oh and did you came up with plans yet?"

"Plans?"

"For Getting your girL!"

Silence.

"Well, Think about it for the weekend then when we get back to Lima tell me about it And then We'll proceed to action. got It?"

Santana looked over at Brittany who was huddled into Sam's side like she was his property. Since he saw her, he never let go of the blonde girl. It made Santana think of what Puck told him.

Don't worry about him? You're shitting me right Puckerman?

xxxxxxxxxx

On their way.

"I suppose their staying at the hotel then?" Sam whispered to Brittany.

"Of course! What do you expect?" Brittany whispered back.

"Good. At least we'll have our alone time at your house.." Sam said suggestively.

"Who the fuck told you that I'm staying at my house? I'm staying at the hotel with them." Brittany said a little loud garnering the attention of the other passengers of the limosine.

"You know you can't do that..." Sam said sternly.

Brittany scoffed. "of course I can! It's my own fucking hotel and I can't stay in there? You're ridiculous!"

"Your parents won't allow you..."

"Yes they would! Don't fucking tell me what to do okay?"

Quinn interrupted. "So hearing your conversation accidentally, B you're gonna be with them at the hotel then?"

Silence.

"No response I assume is a yes.. Good because my parents called me that I should be home when we arrive at the hotel.."

"Same. Chloe texted me and she was excited to see me.."

"How about you Mike?"

"Staying with them... Mom said they're on a business trip to Rome anyway.."

When they arrived at the hotel, Pierce Empire Hotel, the number 1 hotel in America and in the world, they were warmly welcomed by the staff. The gleeks felt like they were VIPs, no erase that. The gleeks felt like they were members of the royal family. They knew the hotel itself, seeing advertisements on the internet, print ads and on national television. It was also famous for celebrities that often stay at the hotel and the numerous events it held. But it was the first time they will ever be a guest in a grandoise place like this.

The Pierce Empire Hotel or also known as Pierce Empire is a high-class hotel catering particularly to the members of the high society. The President himself was good friends with the Pierces because of the left and right advocacies of the family, and being humanitarians by being active in supporting many different kinds of charities. They aim to give back to the less fortunate people what they were receiving.

The Hotel was established around year 1950's and since then it marked the standard of how a hotel should be operated and how it should function and cater the guests. The Pierce Empire Hotel in New York City was the first hotel to ranked the number 1 spot in a time span of 3 months upon it's opening. The Pierce Empire was elegantly designed by the best of the best architechs in United States, the design was thoroughly and carefully planned starting from the facade to the interior designs and up to the smallest details of the hotel. It was renovated a lot of times in order to meet the expectations of their valued guests but sees to it that they leave a certain piece of the hotel's history in its designs.

The Pierce Empire was well known for it's huge chandelier that will welcome the guests as they enter the long extravagant lobby. The main color theme of was Gold with accentuates of Black and Silver. The staffs were treated as a family member and were treated equal outside the professional area that's why the hotel itself has a family oriented reputation on its own field.

The current owners coming from the 3rd Generation of the Pierces, wherein Brittany belonged thus making her the heiress of all the business that was attached to their name. Most of the time, she feels the pressure and huge responsibility on her shoulder. That's why she's enjoying her life because she knew when the time comes, she won't be able to relax and spend time with her best friends or goof around like a bunch of kids just like what she's doing for the past years.

At the tender age of 4, she was trained to be a leader by her Grandfather, Byron Cornelius Pierce. She was doing what her grandfather dictated her to do, they had a strong and thick grandfather-granddaughter bond but it suddenly changed when Brittany discovered a part of herself, her sexuality.

Unlike other teens, she embraced it with open arms. When she felt that she was attracted to girls as how she was attracted to guys, she didn't fought the feeling, instead she let it flow freely to her. When she came out to her parents at 13, her father nearly disowned her, thanks to her mom who never stopped telling her dad that she's still their Brittany no matter what sexual orientation she prefers, he caved in and told that she'll support his daughter in everything that she does. Her grandfather on the other hand didn't liked the idea when he found out, he never came around, sure he still talks to Brittany but mainly due to professional reasons. Their relationship from being grandfather-granddaughter type became purely business relationship type.

When their relationship was ruined, Brittany changed into a different type of person. She became guarded and an uptight person who tends to shut everyone out.

"My lovely daughter! I'm glad you're back"

"Mom!" Brittany said while hugging her mom tight.

Her mom Caitlin Pierce, a beautiful blue eyed blonde just like her daughter Brittany. A lot of people say that they look like sisters and other say that Brittany was like the exact replica of her mother except a little older. She was a respectable woman in her own field, you can always see her with a smile on her face. Time Magazine named her Woman of the Year for the past 3 years and was called a model for sophistication. She was the one who taught Brittany that even though they were on the highest ladder when it came to their status in life, they should still treat others with respect. She always believe that in order for people to respect you, you yourself should treat them with utmost respect. All in all Caitlin Pierce behind the fame, wealth and all the material things that their family possessed, she was a great woman, an awesome mother and especially a genuine person.

"How's my daughter?" Her mom said while looking at her daughter.

"Kind of tired! Anyway I want you to meet my.. Uh.. The people in my school.."

"Welcome! I 'm Caitlin Pierce, brittany's mother.. Wait where's Noah and Quinn?"

"They left as soon as we stepped out of the limo mom.."

Brittany introduced the gleeks and one Rachel Berry was smitten by her mom.

"Close your mouth man hands.. It's embarassing.." Santana said as she nudged her best friend.

"What? She's so beautiful okay?" Rachel reasoned.

"You're dad will be here later.. I believe you kids are hungry?" Her mom asked. "Oh. Sam it's so nice of you to pick up my baby at the airport.."

Sam blushed. "No worries Caitlin.."

Ugh. Pretty boy getting all shy. Can you just leave now?

"I called the house staff to prepare the guest rooms.."

"Can we just stay here?" Brittany whined.

"I believe I have to say no my dear..."

"But why?" Brittany said crossing her arms.

"We'll talk later.. Now c'mon let's eat.."

They all went to the hotel's restaurant located at the 3rd floor left wing of Pierce Empire. When all of them were seated, the waiters served them their foods.

"Is dad coming or?"

"He is.. Anyway, so kids how was school?" Her mom asked the gleeks.

"Nothing interesting ma'am..." Kurt said

"This food tastes great!" Finn chimed in.

"Thank you dear.. I wanna ask... So is my brittany here a good girl?"

"Puh-lease!" Brittany scoffed.

"She's..." Rachel trailed off.

Brittany glared at Rachel to tell her to shut up.

"She's doing great at Lima ma'am.."

"Really? Santana right?"

"Y-Yes ma'am.." Santana said shyly.

"You're very pretty.." Caitlin said nodding her head. "You could be a great girlfriend to our Brittany here..." Caitlin said while looking through the rim of her water goblet.

Both Brittany and Santana choked on their food while the gleeks snickered.

Gi-Girlfriend?

Oh god mom! Stop embarassing me..

"I agree with Caitlin, Brittany..." Mike teased then Brittany glared at him.

"I approve!" Rachel added while winking at Santana who was blushing deeply in her seat.

"Ugh.. Could you guys.." Brittany rolled her eyes.

"I'm telling the truth here... No offense Sam.." Caitlin looked over at Sam.

"Non taken." Sam said then glared at Santana.

Psh. Non taken but you're ready to throw your knife in my face..

Santana rolled her eyes at Sam and continued eating.

"You have a very nice hotel ma'am.." Rachel said with a smile.

"Awww. Thanks honey.. Britt baby you do have great friends..." Caitlin said with a grin.

Brittany was about to retort back when someone spoke behind her, everyone on their table looked up.

"My angel!"

Brittany looked over her shoulder then run to her father.

"Dad!" Brittany said then hugged her father.

"angel you're here... I miss you so much.." Her dad said then picked her up and spun her around.

Brittany squealed. "D-dad! Let me down! I-I have a badass!reputation in ohio.. Don't ruin it please!" she said through a laugh.

"Did she just squealed?" Mercedes whispered to Tina and Artie.

"I guess so.." Tina whispered back.

"Welcome to Pierce Empire! Welcome to New York City!"

Brittany's dad Vincent Pierce, a tall blonde haired man with green hazel eyes is the best dad in the whole world according to Brittany. He's a busy man but sees to it to spend his time with his children. When Brittany and her sister were little, they used to go to Central Park to feed the ducks. No matter how busy he was, he assures that every weekends, his schedule was cleared and spends his time with his family, whether lounging at home or outside bonding with his children. He was always supportive with the decisions of his daughters, he always allow them to stand on their own and be responsible for their actions. Vincent Pierce is a business man but more so a family man. His family comes first no matter what, that's why his family has established a strong family bond through the years.

"You got some friends.. I see.." Vincent said as he kissed Brittany's temple.

"You guys are embarassing me.." Brittany said frustrated.

Vincent laughed. "Of course honey! That's what we do.. Right Cat?" he asked his wife as he sat down on his chair.

"Absolutely!" Caitlin agreed.

"Oh god!" Brittany said as she cover her face with her hands.

While they were eating, Brittany's parents were chatting with the gleeks.

"Wow! Glee club! I never knew you were into glee club britt?"

"No dad.. I was in the dance club which was like a sister club to the gleeks here.. So yeah.." Brittany said shrugging.

"Oh I see.. So you guys excited for-..."

"Dad!" Brittany interrupted.

"What?"

"They don't know yet.. It's our little surprise for them.. Right Mike?" Brittany asked.

Mike nodded. "Hm. They'll know on the day itself." he said as he sipped on his water.

"Vincent.. You're daughter wanted to stay at the hotel..." Her mom said.

"And why's that young lady?"

"I wa-..."

"You know it won't happen right? We have a house I think it's more homey than here and besides their rooms were already prepared.. You don't want our staff's efforts put to waste right?" Vincent inquired.

"Fine.."

When they were done eating, they said goodbye to Brittany's parents who were staying a little due to some responsibilities.

"I'll see you at home honey.." Caitlin said as she hugged her daughter.

"I hope you enjoyed the food kids.." Vincent told the gleeks as he kissed his daughter's temple. "We'll be home before midnight Baby.."

"Welcome to the Pierce's humble abode!"

"Your house is so huge!" Rachel said as she put her hand on her mouth.

"Correction enormous!" Kurt nodded.

"Let's head inside.. I'm kinda tired.." Brittany said as she walked inside leaving the gleeks behind.

mike scratched his head "So shall we?"

The Pierce's house was located in the neighborhood in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The house is located in an exclusive property that situates along with mansions owned by celebrities and high ranking politicians. The house is a french designed 3-storey mansion with a long driveway just like the house in Lima. The facade was simple but when it comes to the inside, all the furnitures were grand but still gives the cozy and homey atmosphere.

"I'll show you your rooms guys.."

When they arrived in the 3rd floor hallway.

"So here's your rooms gleeks.. You don't need to share a room okay? And there's an en-suite bathroom for every room on this floor." Brittany said.

"Thank you Brittany..." Kurt said.

Brittany just smiled at them then walked towards the direction of her bedroom.

"She's just tired... C'mon i'm sure you are too."

They said their goodnights with each other. Santana chose the room beside Brittany's, she was confused as to why the blonde's mood has suddenly changed.

"You're so unpredictable Pierce.." Santana said at herself through the mirror.

When she plopped down on the bed, santana felt the exhaustion so she drifted off to sleep easily.

Ugh. What was that noise?

Santana opened one of her eyes to search for her phone.

It's 3:15 am goddamit! Who's up in this fucking hour?

Santana closed her eyes then used the pillow to block the noise to her ears.

"For the love of everything.." Santana said frustrated.

She stood up and followed the sound, she scrunched her eyebrows when the sound was coming from outside. She went out to the room's balcony ready to lash out her Lima Heights rage but gasped in shock as she saw a person with its back facing her.

Dear good god! I nearly had a heart attack!

She was about to yell at the person when she realized who it was.

"Brittany..."

Brittany was sitting with her feet propped up on the table, guitar in hand, revealing her long creamy smooth legs as she was wearing only a grey baggy t-shirt and sporting a bun. Santana heard her strum, she sat on the chair in the balcony and waited if the blonde will sing a song. She then wonder why is she up in this ungodly hour or she hasn't slept yet.

Wait... What is that look?

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?

Can the child within my heart rise above?

Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?

Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Santana's eyes widen as she heard the blonde sung. She thought that Brittany sounded amazing, her sweet voice ringing the latina's ears. She knew that this moment may be a private moment for the blonde, but she was rooted on her seat. So she closed her eyes and listened to Brittany singing.

Well, I've been afraid of changing

'Cause I've built my life around you

But time makes you bolder

Even children get older and I'm getting older too

Oh, I'm getting older too..

Suddenly the blonde stopped singing so she opened her eyes.

"I think that's enough for you Lopez.."

Brittany called out Santana but her back was still on the latina.

"I-I.. U-Uh.." Santana stuttered.

"Stalking me now huh?" Brittany sounded annoyed.

"N-No.. I woke up from the noise so I checked it out, then I saw you there sitting.." Santana said as she stood up and walked to the railing of the balcony.

"Figures..."

"How did you know I was here?"

"Puh-lease... You're not so quiet you know.. I bet the glass door was broken by the force you used when opening that shit.."

Santana chuckled but stopped and composed herself. "If you knew I was here why didn't you stopped?" she inquired.

"Why would I? And never thought you'll stay and stalk me.." Brittany shrugged then started strumming again.

"I'm not stalking okay?"

"You have a great voice Brittany.."

"Not as great ad you Miss Lopez..."

Silence.

"You do know you looked like a total creeper right now right?" Brittany said as she turned around facing Santana.

Santana narrowed her eyes when she saw the blonde. Even though Brittany was cocky, her face tells a different story.

"Are you crying?" Santana asked worried.

Brittany looked away. "What the fuck are you talking about?" she hissed.

"It's be-.."

"You know what? I'll go ahead.. I'm sleepy.." Brittany said as she walked inside her room.

Santana wanted to say something but decided not to. She was studying that look on Brittany which she can't decipher. She was trying to think what could be running around inside the blonde's head or the reason why her favorite blonde was crying.

Why was she crying?
