Hey, howdy hey, good to see you guys again! I've had this idea in my head for a while now, so I decided to share it with you! Welcome to chapter one of this two-shot I hope you like it.

I don't own Glee, or the characters, plain and simple. Copy Rights and all. So please enjoy

Santana had been having a very terrible Friday. First she failed a major test in Pre-calculus, then after that class period, some loser accidently spilled her orange slushie on Santana's cheerio uniform, so when Coach pulled out one of her unexpected uniform inspections and saw Santana's ruined uniform, she made her do fifteen campus runs, thirty snakes on the track and twenty five suicides. And all that happened in the first three periods of the day!

Next, she tripped over a random text book on the ground and hit her knee on the ground. There was so much bad stuff going on Santana wondered if people were unleashing the whole Karma experience on her. But the absolute worst thing that she had dealt with was Rachel's constant hounding and questioning. Don't get the Latina wrong, she loved Rachel, they had been dating to close to five months now, but this particular week, she was pressing on Santana's nerves. She was not having a good day and Rachel was not helping in any way at all.

"Hey S, how is it going" a familiar voice asked as she approached the partially livid Latina, who was currently at her locker grumbling angrily at the world. But when she hears her blonde friend approach her, she didn't even bother calming down; she just spun around glared harshly at her.

"Oh just dandy Q, how's your day going" Santana hissed with venomous sarcasm. Quinn glared lightly at her,

"Hey you need to calm down, I'm sure you've been having a rough day, but don't take it out on me, tone it down" Quinn said.

"Oh bite me Blondie, I don't need you to tell me to calm down, I just want this day to turn around and end" Santana growled. Quinn was about to say something, but then Brittany came hopping up in her usual bright and joyful demeanor.

"Hi Q, hey S, how is your day going" Brittany asked smiling. Brittany unfortunately hadn't been aware of the Latina's day other than the whole Sue punishment. Santana didn't want to yell at Brittany, so she took the deepest breath and slowly let it go before speaking.

"Hey B, today totally sucks, and I just want to go home" Santana sighed.

"Oh don't worry Sanny, I'm sure your day will get better soon, after all today is special" Brittany said knowingly.

"Brittany" Quinn said, the blonde looked at her and shook her head, sending her a telepathic message, which Brittany quickly got,

"Oh that's right, well I have to go, Rachel needed me to help her with. . ." Brittany started, but Quinn have her that look again and Brittany quickly changed her sentence to,

"I have to go pee" Brittany said before quickly walking away. Santana was confused at the scene that had just unfolded, but she was too mad to care at the moment.

"Actually I have to go too, Rachel said she wanted to talk about our Literature project" Quinn said before turning to leave.

"Oh and San, if I were you, I'd cut the bad attitude, I don't want you snapping at the wrong people" Quinn warned before leaving. Santana snorted in annoyance before closing her locker. She yelped in pain as the locker door came into collision into her hand, she had forgotten that certain appendage was in her locker. She then began to swear up and down as she slammed the locker shut and stomped off to the nurse's office. Today was just not her day.

Around that time Rachel was happily humming a little song as she walked the halls. She was looking for Santana, since she hadn't seen her all day which was unusual, seeing as they should've been spending this today together. She suddenly saw Quinn walking her way and she sped up to talk to her.

"Oh Quinn, if I could have a word with you" Rachel called when Quinn was within hearing range. Quinn smiled in acknowledgement when Rachel finally made up to the slightly taller girl.

"Hey Rachel whats up" Quinn asked.

"Oh I've been working on my special project for Santana, speaking of, have you seen her, I have one more question for her" Rachel said while glancing around a bit.

"Yeah I just saw her, but she's been having a bad day, so snix is having a field day" Quinn said, making Rachel frown.

"Oh, well the question I have for her is rather important" Rachel started to say, but Quinn interrupted her by putting a hand up.

"Look, I know why you need to ask her this, being as Brittany and myself have helped you with this project of yours, but trust me when I say that now is not the time, wait until glee, then ask her, that way she won't snap at you" Quinn said.

"Very well I'll wait, but I at least want to see if she's okay" Rachel urged.

"Check on her at lunch, it's the next time you see her right" Quinn asked.

"It is, then we have the rest of day with each other" Rachel smiled.

"Cool, now come on, the bell is gonna ring soon, and I know how much you enjoy being punctual" Quinn smirked as she pushed Rachel slightly in a playful manner, causing the smaller girl to laugh.

"That is true, well I'll see you later, bye Quinn" Rachel smiled as she waved goodbye before hurrying off to class. Quinn copied the motion before walking to the class a few paces down. She just prayed that Santana wouldn't snap at her tiny girlfriend, especially not today.

It was finally time for lunch and Rachel was excited. She was finally able to see Santana, and check up on her. She had wanted to give the girl a small surprise before the big one in Glee.

"I hope her day is going better, I heard she had gone to the nurse" Rachel said to herself as she walked into the cafeteria. But just as she was about five meters from the door she saw Santana. But she didn't note her rigid posture or tightened fists.

"Oh San, I was hoping to see you, I heard your day hasn't been the best, so I came to cheer you up" Rachel said as she came within Santana's hearing range. The brunette said nothing at first, and Rachel thought that Santana hadn't heard her.

"Santana, did you hear me" Rachel asked a bit more concerned than before. Again no answer, so when she was close enough she gently touched Santana's shoulder, only to have her spin around harshly and say,

"Don't touch me" she snapped causing the smaller of the two to recoil.

"Oh I apologize, did I touch an injured part of you" Rachel asked worriedly now.

"No, just don't touch me right now" her voice wasn't as loud but it still held its bite from before. Rachel was a little disheartened at the tone Santana was using on her, but Rachel remembered what Quinn said about how terrible her girlfriend's day was going, so she wouldn't reprimand Santana about her tone, at least not now. Instead she was going to present Santana her gift in the hopes of lightening her mood.

"Oh well I understand, but I wanted to ask you one more thing," Rachel said with her mega watt smile. She knew that Quinn had told her to wait, but she thought that is would help with Santana's foul mood. But boy she was in for a surprise. Santana just blew up.

"OH MY GOD RACHEL WILL YOU JUST KNOCK IT OFF WITH THE QUESTIONS" Santana yelled. Rachel jumped back as the Latina's eyes burned through her with anger.

"W-What" Rachel stammered, but Santana wouldn't let her talk.

"ALL WEEK ITS BEEN, OH SANNY WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS, OH SAN WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT, I'M SICK OF IT" Santana continued to yell. Rachel was at a loss for words and she didn't have any way to defend herself, and she felt a warm liquid began to rise in her eyes.

"B-But" Rachel tried to say again, but again Santana wouldn't let her get a word it.

"I'VE BEEN HAVING THE WORST DAY EVER AND YOU ARE NOT HELPING ONE BIT, ALL I WANT IS TO GO HOME AND FORGET THIS DAY EVER HAPPENED BUT YOU JUST WON'T SHUT UP, WHY HAVE YOU BEEN HOUNDING ME THIS WEEK, WHAT IS SO DAMN IMPORTANT THAT YOU JUST HAD TO BOTHER ME WITH YOUR STUPID, POINTLESS, QUESTIONS" Santana shouted, breathing heavily from all the air she had just used. By now Rachel was practically blinded by the welling up in her eyes. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Santana had forgotten what today was. Well if she wanted to know why, then Rachel would tell her why.

"A-Anniversary "Rachel choked, immediately Santana's rage had instantly lessened.

"What" Santana asked less harshly than before, Rachel wiped her eyes as she spoke again.

"T-Today's our five month anniversary" Rachel sniffed as the tears poured down her face. Her heart was wrenching and her chest constricting as she cried in front of the shocked Latina. Today was their five month anniversary, then her heart sank in realization. It was today, and Santana had forgotten.

"R-Rae, I-I didn't know" Santana said with a now softer tone. This only made the sobbing diva cry harder.

"You wanna know why I asked all those questions, it was see if I could get an idea on what to get you for our anniversary, I spent all week with Quinn and Brittany planning this day out, but since you want to forget it so badly-" Rachel stopped momentarily to catch her ragged breath before continuing,

"W-Well, here, take the stupid present, I hope you like it, good bye Santana" Rachel shouted with a pained tone as she pulled out a small adorably wrapped bag and threw it at the now quiet Latina and ran away crying loudly. Santana stared dumbly after the already long gone girl before turning her gaze to the present that was now lying on the floor at her feet. She knelt down and picked it up. She felt that it wasn't heavy but it did have a certain weight to it. Carefully with gentle shaking fingers, she carefully opened the package and gasped at the content inside.

There was a little white velvet box inside. With a burning curiosity, she opened it and found a necklace inside. There wasn't a gem in the center like a normal necklace would, but what she did find, was a little picture of Rachel and herself on their first date. They had gone to the Lima fair and took a picture in front of the Ferris wheel. Rachel was wearing a cute yellow sun dress with a matching sun hat with a cone of vegan ice cream in one hand and Santana's hand in her other. Santana was wearing some jean shorts and a simple purple tank top with her hair in a curled side ponytail and a stuffed purple panda that Rachel won for her, in her only free hand. They had someone take the picture for them. And it was Santana's absolute favorite. Suddenly a small blue note fell from the top of the necklace box and Santana unfolded it and read the words.

To my beloved Santana,

I know things between us didn't start so great, but I'm glad we mended our past and got together.

You were always a light in my life and, though it seems too soon to say now, I truly hope you will be light in

my life forever, but until we get that far, here's a small gift from me to you. Happy five month anniversary,

Sincerely,

Your little star

P.s, I forgot to mention that this is only a small part of your gift, the rest I will give you in Glee

At the end of the letter Santana was in tears. She absolutely loved the gift, and she had gone and forgotten one of the most important days in history to her. She walked to a locker and slid down slowly before crying loudly. And after a good ive minutes, she wiped her eyes as she came to a decision. She had to fix this. Rachel was the most important person to her and she wouldn't let her get away. But she was gonna need help. She had messed up majorly.
