Quinn jumped when her phone pinged, her hand quickly shot into her bag grabbing it out, Matt watched as she instantly calmed down. "Are we good?"

Santana to Quinn: I'm okay

"We're good." Quinn nodded giving a smile and nod, tucking her phone away Quinn glanced up at Mike and Tina "I know this whole thing messed with our lesson, we can try to work out a new schedule..."

"We can take this to go, head back to the studio." Mike said shrugging.

"Are you sure, don't you have other things you need to do? A date to plan?" Quinn asked.

Tina rolled her eyes before looking at Mike "Movie? Friday night after dinner here?"

"O..Okay." Mike nodded, Tina's confidence had grown since the night of the club.

"Done." Tina smirked "I'll get the food and meet you three back at the studio." Quinn smirked at the punch drunk look on Mike's face as the dancer stood.


Brittany watched Santana, she wanted to make sure the Latina wasn't lying to her, "Creeper." Santana teased trying to get Brittany to relax.

"Sorry," Brittany looked down at her plate. "I...just...are you sure you're okay?"

"I won't lie to you, I'm nervous but I'm okay," Santana promised fiddling with her necklace "if I start to feel worse I'll let you know."

"Okay." Brittany nodded. "What kind of pizza do you like?"

"Pepperoni."

"What's your favorite?"

"The supreme, it just wouldn't be fair to all the other toppings." Brittany answered picking up her silverware. "What's your favorite modern holiday?"

"Christmas, Mami comes to visit and we exchange presents."

"I like Christmas, Nicholas is really nice." Brittany agreed.

"You've met Santa?" Santana asked then answered shaking her head "Of course you have."

"Haven't you?" Santana shook her head "I'll introduce you." Brittany promised. "Dogs or cats?"

"I'd rather not say." Santana shook her head eyeing the large cat.

"He doesn't like cats either." Brittany said realizing what Santana was looking at.

Perplexed Santana asked pointing "He does know he is a cat, right?"

Brittany glanced down at the cat she was petting admitting "Of course he does," Brittany nodded then asked the cat "Right? You know you're a cat?" when all the cat did was look up at her before continuing to eat Brittany shrugged offering "Maybe he's a special cat like Athena's owl?"

Santana eyed the beast giving a little shiver when he looked at her "Let's go with that." there was definitely more to the cat than what she could see. "What's your favorite flower?"

"Lilies." Brittany said before cleaning her hands with a wet nap. "Yours?"

"I like them all, they all have their own meanings and scents." Santana explained.


"And where do you think you're going?" Quinn snagged Matt's bicep.

"Your place." Matt pointed in the general direction of Quinn and Santana's place.

"Nope, you're coming with us." Quinn shook her head.

"The guys are gonna make fun of me." Matt muttered.

"But your wife will love it." Mike promised.

"Come on...for me?" Quinn pouted. "Santana has Brittany now and I don't want to go to the wedding by myself, I need a dance partner."

"Fine." Matt dropped his head in defeat. "I'll take you to the wedding, don't see why I gotta dance." Matt pouted.

"Don't be a baby, use it to learn something new to impress your wife." Quinn linked her arm with his "Take her to dinner for your anniversary, a nice adult place with a dance floor, that little jazz club in New Orleans, I know the owner." Quinn chuckled "She'll love it I promise, her sisters will be jealous."

"Their husbands are gonna want to beat my ass." Matt chuckled.

"I'll protect you." Quinn promised kissing his cheek.


"These are really good." Santana said wiping her face, Brittany grinned causing Santana to ask "I missed something didn't I?"

"Just a little." Brittany giggled reaching out with a wet wipe, catching Santana's chin in her free hand she cleaned the Latina's cheek.

"How'd I get it there?" Santana laughed.

"Ribs are messy." Brittany grinned.

"You're clean." Santana pointed out.

"I've had more practice." Brittany shrugged standing up, offering her hands to Santana she waited, taking them Santana allowed Brittany to pull her to her feet actually surprised by the blonde's strength. "Next question, favorite dance style?"

Chewing her lower lip Santana thought a moment before stepping closer and murmuring "Any one that gets me closer to you."

"New favorite." Brittany agreed slipping her hands to Santana's waist tugging her a little closer. "So this wedding you're attending?"

"Pretty sure I can get out of it now." Santana said snuggling closer as Brittany began to sway them to the music. "Quinn can take Matt."

"So you're quitting your dance lessons?" Brittany asked.

"That would be a no," Santana chuckled "my teacher's hot." The longer she was around Brittany the braver she became, she wasn't afraid she was going to mess things up because Brittany just accepted her for who she was, broken pieces and all.

"Do you think Quinn would be my friend?"

Santana straightened up hearing the sadness in Brittany's voice. "Of course she would."

"I don't have any friends like us."

"Us?" Santana tilted her head before it dawned on her, "Ohh." Brittany's friends were all mortals, Santana had a few mortal friends over the years but didn't like the pain of losing them so stopped making friends. "You're with me now, you'll meet all my friends and they'll love you." Santana promised.

"Really?"

"Really." Santana promised. "And Mike and Tina can meet them too."


"I'm sorry I really suck at this." Matt apologized after stepping on Tina's toes again.

Tina shook her head trying not to laugh when Quinn asked "You are one of the most coordinated people I know, how can you not get this?"

"Maybe it's the wrong approach?" Mike offered releasing Quinn. "So fighting is learning steps, just like dancing, every move has a counter move." Mike stepped away from Quinn showing Matt the moves without a partner. Tina joined Quinn on the sidelines "Hands here." Mike held his body in the perfect frame "And follow me."

"I don't get it, he's doing the moves perfectly." Tina whispered to Quinn as Matt mimicked Mike.

"I think we should switch partners, he knows you're Mike's girl so I think it makes him nervous and he doesn't want to put his hands too close to...well, places." Quinn gestured to Tina's lower back and hips.

"Ohh, that is so sweet." Tina chuckled.

"He's a rarity among gods, most are petty and jealous, Matt's a real sweetheart."

"Aright he's got it, let's partner up." Mike clapped his hands before hitting the remote to start the music again.

"Come on, my toes can take it." Quinn gestured Matt over to her, Mike was confused but nodded when Tina whispered the reason for the switch to him.

"Okay and one..." Mike counted off, Matt and Quinn easily followed, Quinn hadn't lied she needed to brush up, she knew she could get the steps easy, she was a quick study, one of Ares best.


Santana glanced over Brittany's shoulder, the cat was still watching them "How did you come up with his name?"

"My mom said he acted Lordly, I didn't know what that meant, she said it was like everything around him was his." Santana could see that, the cat was sitting on the table finishing off Brittany's food without a care. "And he's kinda tubby." Brittany whispered so as not to hurt the cat's feelings, Santana was sure the porker didn't care. "Not Santana's cookies Lord Tubbington." Brittany shook her head, glaring the cat stepped away from the container of chocolate cookies. "I'll have Pierce bring you some."

"Pretty sure if he had fingers I'd be getting flipped off right now." Santana said watching as the cat continued to glare over his shoulder as he pillaged the motorcycle saddlebags.

"Be nice." Brittany chastised the cat as he walked off dragging the saddlebags with him.

"Isn't your wallet in there?" Santana pointed.

"No he left it on the table." Brittany shook her head unbothered by the cat's pilfering, Santana chuckled he was definitely not a normal cat. "Favorite movie?"

"Not scary ones." Santana muttered. "You?"

"Ones with music." Brittany smiled down kissing the tip of Santana's nose "I like dancing with you, you smell nice."

Not knowing exactly what to say Santana smiled amused at the compliment "Thank you, you smell nice too." she couldn't help but chuckle when Brittany squeezed her.
