There was a fire in every step that she took, the ground was turning in lava and the excitement burned a smile onto her face. When she reached her girlfriend's house,she knocked respectfully and waited for the blonde to grace her with her presense.
"Brit!" she cried out, and the door swung open. A big weight landed in her arms and she twirled her around like they haven't seen each other in years.
"San!" she replied, snuggling her head into her shoulder. The two linked pinkies and went on their way to school like it was their first day of elementary; a little scared, but completely ecstatic.

When Quinn and Rachel arrived at the school together, only a few heads took a second glance. They were talking and laughing like they've been best friends for a long time. Well, you know what they say, there's a thin line between hatred and love.
"Your dads are amazing," commented the blonde with a wide smile on her face, "And they make a mean breakfast."
Rachel laughed at this and turned a little pink to Quinn's surprise, "Oh, I cooked that."
"No way," Quinn replied, "You spent like 2 hours in the bathroom getting ready, I doubt you had time to do that and cook."
"I have a very strict schedule," Rachel replied, feeling very proud of herself, "and every Wednesday I wake up extra early to cook for my dads."
The blonde smiled at this, she really admired how hard working Rachel is. She may be a tad (okay more than a tad) annouying and sorta of (really) self centred and kind of (really) obsessed with the spotlight, but her heart is always in the right place. And that's all thta really mattered. Quinn reached out to grab Rachel's arm and the girl gladly accepted it.
Santana and Brittany moved from pinkies to full on hand holding. Not that they would stop the pinky interlocking action, they just felt that they really wanted to hold each other's hands. They walked the hallways with more confidence and showed more public affection.
"Move," however Santana didn't stray from her own usual habits. The crowds moved like a parting sea to make way for the two, and whether they gave them odd stares or not, Santana didn't give a damn.
One boy however was a little on the slow side, "Dykes," he scoffed as the two walked on by. A screech was heard when the latina stopped in her tracks. Brittany was a little unsure (had no idea) what the word meant and shrugged it off as nothing, but no one, not even the teachers didn't know what Santana's current facial expression meant.
"What did you say?" she demanded, the fire in her eyes burning a hole into the boy's face.
"N-Nothing," he quickly replied, taking a second to run away.
Brittany turned to her girlfriend and asked what just happened, but Santana told her to forget it, which was not so surprisingly easy. In the midstof the drama, Santana forgot that Brit had no idea what those derrogatory terms meant. She felt a little stupid about how much of a deal she made from the event. But it was okay, despite the pain she went through, it could only be concluded that the experience brought the two closer.

"Mr. Schuester, it has been brought to my attention that the following members of the Glee club haven't had the chance at solos," Rachel began, her tone completely demanding.
The handsome director of the Glee club was shocked at the girl's demand, remembering only months ago that this girl was eating at him for giving another member even one line. He takes a step back.
"what?"
"I know this might seem like a shock to you," her voice gets quieter, "But I was thinking that, maybe if I was a little less selfish the guys might like me more ya know? And...I want to see them sing. Plus, between you and me, my voice is a little sore..."
"Oh that's why," he replied, laughing to himself, "You don't have to make up excuses Rachel."
"Mr. Schue! I am offended that you think that I was lying," she retorted in a pout. But she dismissed herself to her seat anyway to chat up Quinn.
Brittany entered the room and directly drew herself towards Santana. The two embraced and rocked each other and giggled at nothing.
"Hey Brittany! What happened to you yesterday?" asked the Schuester, remembering that no off comments were made the other day.
"I fell down a hole," she replied bluntly, seperating herself from the latina, "I couldn't get out."
It was a little more than difficult to take the girl seriously.
"Mr. Schuester, I thought of a song for us to sing, but if you don't mind I'd like to take the lead."
Ah, maybe Santana was also blackmailing Rachel or something.
"Okay Santana, what did you have in mind?"
She signalled the band to begin and she broke into song. The whole group immedietely recognized the song from Disney's Mulan, sung by 98 degrees and Stevie Wonder.
It was one of Brittany's favourite movies.
It always felt good to sing in a group like that and Mr. Schuester was more than pleased with Santana's vocals. He turned to see that Rachel and Quinn were singing and dancing together and pretty close, and he felt this passion in Santana's voice as she turned to sing to Brittany. It amused him how quickly and strangely his Glee kids changed and acted, but it made him happy. Santana surprisngly chose a very old and happy song, but completely inspirational. He knew there was something besides her attitude and mean girl behaviour.
Afterall, she was part of the Glee club.
He eventually decided to join in with his kids on tha last chorus;
"When things are getting crazy
And you don't know where to start
Keep on believing baby
Just be true to your heart
When all the world around you
It seems to fall apart
Keep on believing baby
Just be true to your heart "
Mercedes and Artie took on the task of Stevie Wonder's famous "doos" at the end of the song and the group of misfits broke out into laughter.
Santana pulled Brittany in for a kiss and the two smiled into each other, happy about nothing and everything at the same time.
