Rating: Totally G for this part
Word Count: 1002
Summary: Brittany's six...
Warnings: Only for cute
Disclaimer: Not mine, never were, blah blah woof woof.

Santana's six, and her English is better than Brittany's now, even though Brittany's is just fine. No one would ever guess that she speaks Dutch at home, and Spanish at Santana's house. Santana spends Thursdays at Brittany's house, and Brittany spends Tuesdays at Santana's house, and Santana has managed to teach her enough Spanish that Brittany can even talk to Santana's abuela, which is the Spanish word for grandma.

Noah's six, and he hasn't stopped being a jerk. He doesn't just push Kurt down now, he takes his things and throws them into trees and laughs when Kurt cries. Kurt's six and he still cries, and he doesn't seem to understand what a bad idea it is to dress up as a ballerina for Halloween even though it makes Noah tease him more than ever. Noah laughs at Brittany because she still can't spell her last name without Santana's help, but it turns out that none of the teachers can say it anyway, so she's Brittany V. forever now and Brittany's okay with that.

Rachel's six and Quinn hasn't stopped being mean to her, even though she sings and dances even better now than she did when she was four. Brittany still draws her notes and hides them in her backpack (Rachel, not Quinn) because even though she's Quinn's friend, not Rachel's, she still doesn't like the way Rachel makes a sad face when Quinn teases her. Rachel doesn't cry any more, not even when Quinn tells everyone that Rachel has two daddies (like they hadn't all heard it from Rachel anyway) and makes it sound like a bad, wrong thing, and no one will talk to Rachel for two weeks.

Brittany's six, and it's February. Brittany can't spell that, but she can spell Valentine's Day, because it's written on the blackboard and Brittany's not so stupid that she can't copy. Besides, Santana's right next to her, helping her make sure she doesn't leave out any of the letters.

Brittany's making cards. Quinn made a big fuss about how her mom was buying her store bought cards and Brittany looked at them, and they were nice, but Brittany likes hers better. Brittany's six and she likes ducks, yellow, and Santana best of anything in the world, so she's making a Valentine for Santana with yellow ducks on it. It's hard to do, because she has to hide it from Santana, but at the same time has to keep asking her how to spell things.

Brittany makes one for everyone in the class, even Noah, because even though he's a meanie it's not nice to leave people out. She so careful, it takes her so long. On Kurt's she uses a lot of pink because she knows he likes it, and she draws shoes because he likes shoes. Especially high heels like Quinn's mom wears. She uses pink on Quinn's too, and draws a kitty because Quinn just got a kitty. On Rachel's she draws music (Santana has to show her how) and uses green and blue. On Noah's she uses red, and draws a fire engine, because Noah wants to be a fire fighter when he grows up. She makes one for the teacher, with a big red apple on the front. And now she's working on Santana's, and she's using yellow and drawing ducks, because Santana likes a lot of things, but she likes Brittany best, and Brittany likes yellow and ducks.

Carefully, Brittany draws a sun in the top corner of Santana's Valentine, and sits back, smiling at her work. She's proud of her cards, they might not be all store bought and fancy, but she made them all by herself. Santana only helped with the spelling, and showing her how to draw music.

She gets up and starts to hand them out, starting with the teacher who smiles and ruffles her hair. She gives the pink shoe one to Kurt, and he cries, but he's crying happy tears this time he says, he loves it. She gives Quinn hers, and Quinn smiles but it's kind of a small smile, and she looks like she's disappointed.

Rachel squeals when she sees hers, and Brittany grins again, and Rachel jumps up to hug her but Brittany backs away, because she loves hugs but she doesn't love it when Quinn's mad, and Quinn gets mad when anyone's nice to Rachel. She moves away down the desks, and stops in front of Noah, and holds out the card she made for him, and he laughs. He laughs, and tells her that her Valentine is stupid, that Valentine's Day cards are supposed to have hearts and flowers and junk on them, and that fire engines only have four wheels, not seven, and how stupid is she anyway.

Brittany's sad that he doesn't like his card, but she doesn't cry too much, because a person who takes sunlight with her wherever she goes can't just cry in school. And it turns out she doesn't have time to cry anyway, because Santana is hurrying up beside her and she turns just in time to see Santana sock Noah right in the nose. Now Noah's crying, because the blood coming out of his nose is even redder than the fire engine Brittany drew for him, and Santana's mad, really mad, and telling him that Brittany is not stupid, and that he should say sorry.

Noah says sorry and the teacher comes running and takes Noah to the nurse, and Santana has to sit in the corner for the rest of the day, and it's not until they're walking home together that Brittany can give Santana her Valentine.

Santana looks at it and doesn't say anything, just pulls Brittany into the biggest hug she can imagine, and kisses her on the cheek. Then she tells Brittany she loves it and she loves Brittany, and Brittany can tell she's telling the truth because she's speaking in Spanish, and she only does that when she's at home or really excited. And it doesn't matter any more that Noah is a meanie, because Santana was there to stick up for Brittany, and Brittany smiles, and takes Santana's hand, and they walk home together.
