AU: Brittana meet sophomore year of college. Santana has never had a girlfriend, never been kissed, and has serious trust issues. Brittany can't forget the first time she saw Santana smile and wants to make sure she keeps smiling.

A/N: I have planned for this to be a fairly simple story. Minor drama, no angst, mostly fluff and the development of a relationship.

A/N: Upon completion of this story … my plans went seriously awry. Instead of the simple story I had planned … I got this … a not-so-simple story. I hope you enjoy it anyway.

Also, please allow me to apologize for spamming your notifications.

I put a poll on my tumblr account and got 3 responses (one was my "I don't care") ... one was for posting all at once, one was for 10-15 chapters/week. I will probably post a few chapters every day to avoid super-spam unless I get people saying "MORE. NOW. PLEASE." I do not expect that response. Note: the story is finished so it should all be posted in a couple of days, possibly a week or so depending on how much I post and how often. 110 chapters at 10 chapters a day would be 10 days. So ... give or take.

Prologue

It was a beautiful fall day during the last week of September and Brittany S. Pierce was sitting under the big oak in the middle of the quad. It was her freshman year and she was snapping pictures to get a head start on her end-of-semester media project.

She heard a shout and swung her camera in the direction the shout had come from. Through her viewfinder, she saw a Latina snatch a frisbee out of the air and sling it back to the guys who had lost control of it. Brittany couldn't hear what the guys said but her breath caught in her throat as her camera captured the most beautiful smile she'd ever seen.

She wanted to catch up to the Latina; wanted to get to know her. But. She had a strict rule: when she was dating someone she didn't initiate or pursue anyone else. She sighed; she and Rachel had been dating for three weeks. Before she could talk herself into chasing the Latina, she was gone.

A week later, Brittany was cursing herself as she realized that she and Rachel weren't compatible and broke things off.

She spent the rest of her freshman year, unsuccessfully, trying to find the Latina
