Princess + Santa

Chapter 2

Santana checked her phone again in shock. Mercedes actually texted her! She quickly reciprocated the greeting (hi!) and waited.

It didn't take long for Mercedes to tell her that she just woke up.

Santana frowned and looked out of her window. Sunshine poured in, bathing the big room in gold. She responded that she'd been up for hours. Especially since it was almost ‪two o'clock‬.

Mercedes sent an "lol" and stated that she worked until five that morning and had gone straight to sleep.

Santana wiggled. So she was sticking to that doctor story? The Latina was sure it was just that; a story. So she texted back that it was cool but wasn't it dangerous to drive while sleepy.

Mercedes sent another "lol" and replied that it was and that she should have called an Uber or something.

Santana pursed her lips. She wasn't cracking!

Mercedes sent another text, asking if she wanted to go shopping. She said that she'd invite the sister who'd just had a birthday and if they go, another sister would want to go then another sister wouldn't leave her to fend for herself so she'd go.

That made no sense to Santana but instead of saying so, she just texted back "cool" and that she'd bring her bestie/girlfriend. Then she waited.

It didn't take long for Mercedes to respond with a bunch of emojis. Positive emojis.

Santana hummed. So she accepted her? People said it plentiful but rarely meant it. So she and her girl would see.

P.S.

Mercedes looked over as Santana and her soulmate were led over. "Hi!"

"Hi!" Brittany S. Pierce waved happily.

"Hi." The others girls couldn't match her enthusiasm if they tried.

"Hey." Santana looked around the dark yet sparkly store in awe. It was all dark coals and glittering golds. Stunning.

"I've never seen this place before." Brittany admitted.

"Yeah, it's unassuming. Hi, I'm Mercedes Catherine." Mercedes reached out a hand.

Brittany looked her over before hugging her.

Mercedes giggled. "Oh. Okay!"

Brittany shook her, she was so excited. "You smell so good!"

"Thank you!"

"You smell like happiness."

Mercedes loved Brittany. "Thank you!"

Brittany let her go. "I'm Brittany but not Britney Spears. She stole my name and my talent."

"What?" Marcy Chang asked flatly without blinking.

Mercedes swatted her. "Stop it, Marcy!"

Marcy rolled her emerald eyes.

"Wow!" Brittany got a good look at Marcy. "You're pretty."

"You aren't an ogre." Marcy blew a kiss.

Santana snapped to and looked at Marcy with a scowl. "She's mine!"

Marcy wiggled.

Mickey Chang giggled. "Mommy!"

"Get her, Mickey!" Quinn grinned.

Marcy blew a raspberry.

Yuria Abrams giggled. "Marcy!"

Maddie Chang and Lisa Fabray started chanting Marcy's name.
