Summary: Brittany and Santana go and buy a Christmas tree
“No, I think that’s too big”
“Too big? No way”
“It is. And we’ll never be able to get it home” Santana said starting to walk away
Brittany gave Santana a sceptical look “Really?”
“What?”
“I could carry every single one of these Christmas trees home in one go and you know it!” Brittany said waving her arm at the large area filled with trees
Santana could see Brittany’s brain working and just as Brittany was about to say something else, Santana interrupted her “Don’t even think about it! One tree is all we are getting and it’s going to be a small one”
“Fine” Brittany huffed and folded her arms “Pick one”
“Right, well I think..... this one” Santana said pointing to one that looked suspiciously like the first one she picked over an hour ago
“If you want, but I don’t think it’s bushy enough” Brittany shrugged
“It’s plenty bushy enough, come on, let’s buy it, go home and have some wine and some mince pies, start a fire and get Christmassy” Santana smiled and nudged Brittany
"Can we get our cuddle on?"
"Of course we can" Santana smiled
Brittany smiled back “Okay”
Santana turned around to walk back to the guy in charge and pay for the tree, leaving Brittany to carry it. With Santana’s back turned Brittany used her super speed to put the tree Santana had picked back and searched for the one she liked the best. When she found it she put it through the funny bagging machine, she had a bit of trouble with it but managed it in the end and ran up behind Santana just before she turned to see if she was okay with the tree.
Brittany smiled sweetly as if nothing had happened, bent down, grabbed the large stump at the bottom of the tree and lifted it onto her shoulder.
Santana handed some cash to the tree man and he turned towards Brittany to ask if she needed help, but apparently was so shocked to see the ease in which she carried their large tree, he lost his voice.
Brittany walked past him smiling as he stared in disbelief at her "Thank you Tree man, Merry Christmas"

Brittany and Santana walked down the busy main street, Brittany held the Christmas tree slung over her shoulder with one hand and Santana's hand with the other.
The main street in Gotham was packed with shoppers all looking for that special gift for Christmas. As they walked Brittany accidentally hit people with the end of the tree as she looked at all the Christmas lights and decorations in the shop windows.
Suddenly Brittany and Santana's attention was drawn away from the shops by a scream amongst the crowd.
"Help! He’s taken my shopping! All of my Christmas shopping!"
They both looked towards where the scream came from and saw someone running through the crowd knocking people out of the way. The man, who now had his hands full of shopping bags, ran to cross the road. He dodged a couple of taxi's and just before he passed some parked cars on the other side of the road he found the ground beneath him disappeared.
He looked down to see tops of taxi's and the faces of shoppers looking up at him. He looked around to see the bottom of a Christmas tree and a blonde woman holding the neck of his jacket.
He made a grunting noise and kicked his legs about trying to get loose from her grasp.
“Stay still” Brittany said to him
"It’s Supergirl" Brittany heard someone shout.
"Oh! It is Supergirl, she stopped that thief" another person shouted
On the other side of the road Santana stood watching Brittany hover in the middle of the road and shook her head, the amount of times Brittany carelessly forgets about her secret identity just kept increasing.
"How do you know it's her?" Santana heard a man next to her say
"Who else is it going to be dummy? She blonde, beautiful and she’s flying!" a woman, presumably his wife, said
Santana stifled a laugh.
Hovering over the main road, Brittany looked around to see what she could now do with the man she was holding. In the distance she could see two police officers running towards her. She flew closer to them and explained who the man was and what he had done.
The woman he had taken the bags from ran up to them and Brittany told the police she was the thief's victim.
"Thank you so much Supergirl, I don't know what I would have done if he'd taken all my gifts, I could never afford to replace them. Thank you"
"That’s alright ma'am, it's the least I could do" Brittany smiled
The police looked at her and the tree she was holding with surprise. Brittany just smiled "Well, I had better get this home.... merry Christmas ma'am, officers" she said over her shoulder as she lifted off the ground to try and find Santana in the crowd.
She slowly flew down the road she had just come up and managed to pick Santana out quicker than she thought she would. As she flew closer Santana gave her a 'you've done it again' eyebrow lift and Brittany knew that meant she'd get THE speech again when they got home.
Brittany thought she might try to charm her way out of it. While being stared at by all the surrounding shoppers, She flew down to Santana and hovering off the ground in front of her and said "Hello beautiful stranger, how would you like a lift home?" she smiled her sweetest and most mischievous smiles, winked and without waiting for an answer put her arm around Santana's waist and flew up and over all the shops and shoppers.
As they flew, Santana adjusted her arm so it was around Brittany's neck and began to speak "You really shouldn't have..."
But Brittany interrupted her gently "No, not today"
Santana stopped and looked at Brittany somewhat confused
"You can't tell me off today. Not for helping that woman. All of her bags were filled with children's toys, if I hadn't helped her then her children's Christmas would have been ruined and that wouldn't be fair"
"But you know..."
"Nope." Brittany interrupted again softly
"If you.."
"No"
"Are you.."
"Nah ah"
"Going to let me..."
"No"
"Say anything?"
"Nope..... Oh wait, what?" Brittany said realising what Santana had said
Santana laughed "Okay, okay, you saved Christmas.... for that family, so I won’t say anything about the thing I'm not allowed to say anything about, but you know what you did"
Brittany sighed “blah blah blah! Have you forgotten it’s Christmas? Stop being such a drag and cheer up”
"A drag? I’m not a drag and also we passed our place a minute or so ago"
“What? Oh, yeah” Brittany laughed and flew in a large arc back in the direction of their flat.

Brittany held two bottles of wine in front of her trying to decide which one to open.
“Hey Brit?” Santana shouted from the living room
“Yeah?” Brittany said instantly standing next to her and making her jump
“Geez! Quit doing that!” Santana said flinching a little in surprise, but then got straight back to business “This isn’t the tree we picked” she said pointing at the tree now standing in the corner of their living room.
“S-sure it is” Brittany smiled a little nervously “Who else’s tree would it be?” She turned to walk back to the kitchen but Santana took hold of her hand to stop her
“This tree’s too tall……” Santana looked at Brittany to see if she would crack, she knew exactly what she’d done.
“It’s …… not” Brittany managed after looking up and seeing how the top of the tree was bent over quite a bit so that it would fit in the room.
“It is. I made sure the one I picked was just tall enough to fit…..”
“Erm…. Maybe you made a mistake?” Brittany shrugged
“The only mistake I made was turning my back on you while I was paying” Santana said lifting an eyebrow at Brittany. “I think I made that same mistake last year too….” She laughed
Brittany smiled sweetly and started to back away from Santana and the tree back towards the kitchen “I think it’s a lovely tree, very bushy” Brittany laughed “It just needs decorating and then I think I was promised cuddles?”
Santana sighed “Why do I put up with you?” she smiled
Brittany looked hurt “Because I’m super!” she said lifting off the ground and striking a superhero pose “And …” she disappeared into a blur and the blur moved quickly around the Christmas tree and then stopped in front of Santana holding a tray with mince pies and wine on “..I can decorate a Christmas tree ten times faster than you AND serve wine and pies ready for getting our cuddle on!” Brittany smiled broadly and cheekily
Santana laughed, moved over to Brittany and leaned up and kissed her “Indeed you are super and I’ll admit the tree does look beautiful, and so do you. Merry Christmas my love”
