Hello again. I read over my last chapters and found a lot of spelling/grammar mistakes. My bad. I'm always tired after writing so I don't catch all my mistakes. I went back and edited the last two chapter so hopefully I fixed all my errors. So here's chapter 6. Btw, regarding Dani, what should her last name be? her age? I'll leave it up to you guys, so review. Disclaimer: I don't own glee.

When Dani Wants A Pet?

"It's official. This has been one of the best date nights ever" Santana said, as she walked hand in hand with Dani down a random street. They had just gotten back from ice skating at the Rockefeller Center, something Santana has been wanting to do ever since she moved to New York.

"Good. Kurt mentioned you wanted to do it last year but didn't have time. So I figured it would be a nice surprise." said Dani.

"It was the best. I just feel bad that you fell on your ass so many times," she giggled. Santana almost wanted to go home early because of Dani's constant falling, but her girlfriend was determined to make it around the rink without falling at least once.

"You said you wouldn't speak of it again," Dani pouted. "Why were you so much better than me anyway?"

"Well I was a cheerleader so perfect balance is like programmed in my brain or something. And the community center back in Lima had an ice rink. It was one of the few fun things to do in that cow town," she explained.

"Hmm, so that's why." Dani said. They walked down the street in content silence, looking at all the Christmas decorations around them. It was only December 5th, but everyone seemed to be in the holiday spirit.

"It's getting cold. We should start heading home," Santana said, moving closer to Dani to keep warm.

"Yeah, you're right. The last thing I need is a cold," They started turning the corner, when Dani suddenly stopped. "Hold on a sec, San. Do you see that?" she asked, pointing to something across the street.

"Um..no. What are you talking about, I don't see anything." But Dani had already let go of her hand and was making her way across the street. "Wait up!" She caught up to her girlfriend who was bent over and cooing at something.

A dog. Dani was bent over petting a black and white dog. "Oh geez" Santana thought, rolling her eyes. The dog was was small, skinny, and dirty, but Dani didn't seem to care as she rubbed her hands all over the its head.

"San, isn't he the cutest thing you've ever seen?" Dani cooed.

"How do you know it's a boy?" Santana asked, not bothering to answer Dani's question.

"Duh, the penis" she said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "She actually checked?" Santana thought, raising an eyebrow.

"Right. Listen babe, it's getting late and it's getting colder. I rather not spend all night out on the street with someone else's dog." In truth, Santana as just trying to go home before her girlfriend got any bright ideas.

"I don't think he has an owner. He doesn't have a tag or anything. And at least 10 people are on this street and no one even stopped to look at him."

Santana sighed "3..2...1" she mumbled under her breath

"Can we take him home San? We can take care of him until his owner steps up." Dani looked at Santana with pleading eyes. Santana sighed again.

"I don't know Dani. What if no one claims him?"

"Then we can keep him. It's a win/win situation," she said beaming, still playing with the dog.

"I don't know babe. We don't know if it's infected with anything. What if it has rabies..or fleas?"

"HE," Dani emphasized "looks fine to me. Besides, I can just take him to the vet tomorrow and get him checked out. Please babe?" Dani was pulling out the big guns. She picked up the dog and held it close to her face so that they were both looking at Santana with big eyes and pouty lips.

"Dan, we really can't-"

"Please Santana!" And just like that, Santana knew she lost. If she didn't let this dog come home with them, Dani would probably cry and give her the silent treatment for 2 weeks. "Besides," she thought to herself, "he's kinda cute."

"Ok fine. The mutt can come home with us on 3 conditions," she said.

"Yes!" Dani said, doing mini fist pump "what are your conditions?"

"1. You give him a bath when we get home. He's way too filthy to be walking around our home 2. You take him to a professional tomorrow like you said you would. And 3, we make posters and put them up all over the neighborhood. There could be a family out there looking for him, so it's only fair we give them a chance to get him back. Deal?"

"Deal." Dani agreed.

5 days before Christmas

The dog, which Dani named Charlie, adapted well to his new, temporary home. He was a little skittish the first 2 days, but after that, he began to settle down. True to her word, Dani went with Santana to put up "Found Dog" posters around the neighborhood where they found him. So far no one had come forward yet, which Dani was happy about. Santana warned her about getting too attached, even though Charlie was starting to grow on her as well. At first Santana hated Charlie. She hated his name, his shedding fur, his appetite, and she hated that he followed Dani around all the time. Every time she and Dani tried to get their mack on, Charlie would find a way to interrupt them.

But then there were moments when Dani was out and Santana was home, that Charlie would cuddle up to her on the couch and Santana would find herself stroking his head. She wouldn't admit it to anyone, but she was being to like Charlie. For the most part, everything seemed to be going well.

5 days before Christmas, Dani was coming home from work with a little treat for Charlie. She saved him some of the chicken bones from the diner, which he really liked. As soon as she walked into the apartment, she was caught in a tight hug from her girlfriend.

"Hello to you too, San." she greeted, but Santana only looked at her sadly. Dani didn't notice though.

"Babe, you should take a seat," she tried.

"In a second, I wanna see Charlie's face when I give him his treat."she said excitedly.

"Dani, I have to tell you something," Santana tried again. Dani still ignored her and started calling the dog's name.

"Charlie, come here boy. Come see what I got you."

"Danielle, listen to me!" Santana said in a firm voice. Dani stopped immediately and looked at Santana, like really looked at her. She never used Dani's full name so it must be serious.

"Ok, I'm listening. What's going on. Where's Charlie?"she asked, noticing that the dog wasn't coming to her. Santana looked at her girlfriend and almost cried. She knew Dani wasn't going to take this well.

"Charlie's not here." she finally said. She watched as the realization of what she said came over Dani.

"What do you mean he's not here? Where is he?" she asked. Her heart started beating really fast as she thought of the one reason for why Charlie wasn't there.

"His owner came and got him while you were at work." Dani felt like her heart just stopped.
