When Quinn came down for breakfast the day after, she was met by the scene of her mom and her best friend standing in the kitchen drinking coffee and laughing together. Quinn figured that her mother seems to enjoy Lima. It was a long time since she looked so happy. Perhaps this is the place where they are supposed to be. If her mother looks this carefree already after just one night then maybe it is. This may be a good thing for them. Quinn went to the fridge to take a bottle of water out when Santana addressed her for the first time this morning.
-"So, how is the Little midget? I suppose she came home safe and sound yesterday?" Quinn looked asking at Santana and did not really know what her best friend was talking about. She did not know that Santana and Rachel had a past together, which may not always be the happiest.
-"The midget, you know. Berry. You drove home her yesterday, right? And a little bird whispered in my ear that you then got her number to keep talking even when you were separate. Is that true?"
Quinn changed her look to her mother instead and got something dark in her Eyes.
-"It's nothing. We are friends, that's all."
-"Oh, I would not call it nothing Quinn. You see, the midget has no friends. She has a big man-Child for a boyfriend and maybe some "close to friends" friends. But no friends. So you see, it makes me Believe that you have a little crush on the one and only Rachel Berry. Would you like to prove me wrong?"
Quinn thought that Santana looked way too happy for her to be having this conversation with her best friend.
-"It's not a crush, I just like her. She's smart, fun, easy to talk to and it seemed like she liked to talk to me too. And for your information, we talked just a quickie on the phone yesterday when I came home. She wanted me to call her so she was told I came home safely. That's all."
Her mother spoke again.
-"You know Quinn, that's okay ..."
-"Mom! I know. Okay. I know. Can we please talk about something else?"
-"Very well. For now. I was going to head to the mall to see if there are any curtains that fit the wallpaper in the living room. Do you want girls to come along or do you manage yourself?"
The girls shook their heads.
-"We're fine. See you later."
-"Well then. Bye Santana, it was nice to see you again. I'm sure we will meet a lot in the future. Do not forget, you are always welcome here. Say hi to your mom and dad also from me, please." Judy Fabray started to walk to the frontdoor.
-"Yeah sure. I will tell them. Bye Mrs F."
Santana turned around when she heard the front door after Quinn's mom was closing.
-"FYI, we are not done talking about you and the midget. Sure. I can back right now, but I want to know what happened that makes her up your grill. I can see it Quinn. There is something between you and our little "wanna-be-broadway-star". You know I can see those things, I'm like a bloodhound when it comes to seeking out things that I want to know."
Quinn began laughing at Santana's attempt to ease the mood.
-"Good. You are such a dork. I can not imagine that most of the school is terrified for you."
-"Quinn, you know how highschool is. You have to be on top in order to survive that shit. And you know how hard all this with Brittany has been for me. Not only that I have found a person I like and actually want to be with, but it's a girl too. Talk about being nervous when I told Mom and Dad."
-"You told them? Wow, how did they take it? As if there were any thoughts, you have like, the best parents ever."
-"Yeah well. I had to. You may not know Britt so well yet, but you will notice that she does not so much of a filter when she speaks. My parents asked her what her favorite subject is at school, and she replied that math is her favorite because it's the hour we can sneak into the janitors closet and makeout."
Quinn laughed so much that she had tears in her eyes and almost got a cramp in her stomach. She has not laughed this much in a long, long time. Perhaps this move will make her good too. When Quinn stopped laughing, she put her hand on her friend's shoulder.
-"I like her. I think she's good for you. Perhaps she can make you show your softer side at school too, and not just for those people you like. You complement each other. You are the dark, evil and she is the bright good. It is a match made in heaven." Quinn said whit a grin.
-"Yep. I am lucky. She's amazing and she makes me want to do better. Not be better, because she just wants me to be to be as I am. But to do better. Take the school for an exampel, I've always been smart and managed school without any problems. But now that I have Brittany, I want to do even better for her to be proud of me. As if it does matter, you know. She makes me believe in myself too. So I have an announcement to make. And I want to make you Quinn, the first one to know. Because, number one, you are my best friend, and number two, I think it suits."
-"Okey Santana, you are starting to scaring me a little bit, you know."
-" Yeah I know Quinn. Me too. I'm terrified, but it feels like a good decision. The correct decision."
-"Santana, You fumble. Just tell me what it is."
-"Huh... Yeah. Hold on Quinn, for here it comes. I want to become a doctor. I will go through medical school and I have decided to become a doctor."
Quinn said nothing. She just stared at her best friend with her mouth open, amazed by what she has just heard. She had all her life never thought Santana would come to grips with what she had to potencial. Santana's father was one of the best that existed throughout the world, within his area, and Quinn knew that Santana had it in herself. She could do it if she just wanted to. But Santana was not finished yet, she then said.
-"Just like my dad." This got Quinn to talk again...
-"Just, like your father? Just as your father, as in..."
-"Well. I'm planning it anyway. Then we'll see if it changes over time, but that's what I see myself working with in ten years."
-"Finally. At last you have understood what gift you have received in life. I'm so happy for your sake Santana. You will be a great doctor someday."
The friends embraced and held each other.
-"You know, I'm doing this for you too, you know."
-"I know. You know you do not have to do it for me, but I know... Thank you Santana, you are an awesome friend."
-"I know." Said Santana smiling.
Santana was happy. She was happy that she finally had her best friend living in the same city as her, she had her girlfriend, and she knew what she wanted to do with her life. All in all, a pretty good Sunday, the day before school starts tomorrow for their senior year.
