Santana awoke from her deep slumber when she felt someone struggling to open her tent. The zipper was stuck and the unknown person was grunting in annoyance causing Santana to chuckle and decide to help this unknown person into her tent. She moved slowly toward the entrance of her tent and unzipped the opening to reveal a mysterious blonde woman with deep blue eyes staring at her with amusement.

"Oh, I am so sorry! I thought this was my tent and you probably think I am a serial killer trying to get into your tent, but I swear I am not! I am so sorry." Said the mysterious blonde.

Santana stared at her with an amusing smirk causing the blonde to blush.

"Don't worry about it. I thought it was my research assistant Quinn trying to wake me up from my nap." Replied Santana.

The brunette held out her hand to shake the blondes hand.

"My name is Santana Lopez. I am the head archaeologist of this field school. I am guessing you are one of my new students or part of my team that I haven't met yet."

The blonde stood with her mouth slightly open and quickly shook Santana's hand vigorously while saying "Pleasure to meet you Dr. Lopez, my name is Brittany Pierce and I am volunteer assigned to help you during the summer. I am really sorry I woke you and ruined your beauty sleep, although you really don't need it because you are already so beautiful." Brittany quickly looked down at her feet with a shocked expression that she even said something so embarrassing to Santana.

Santana just smiled warmly and cupped Brittany's shoulder to comfort her.

"Don't be embarrassed Ms. Pierce. Every girl should be complimented on how pretty they are every day. Thank you for putting me in a good mood."

The moment Santana touched Brittany's shoulder; Brittany felt this cold jolt go through her body. She didn't understand how Santana could be so cool when the weather outside was over 100 degrees. She also didn't understand why she felt such at peace when Santana touched her. As Santana slipped her hand off Brittany's shoulder Brittany almost grabbed the brunettes hand to keep the cool jolts continuing throughout her body, but decided against it when she quickly realized how unprofessional that would be.

"So Ms. Pierce let me show you around the camp so you can get yourself acquainted with our team."

"You can call me Brittany, Dr. Lopez." The blonde said shyly.

"Well you can call me Santana. Dr. Lopez is just for my students, Dr. Lopez is my dad not me."

Santana and Brittany walked side by side towards a large tent filled with tables, different devices, and few people running around trying to organize different things.

When the pair finally approached the table everyone stopped what they were doing and greeted Santana with a "hello Dr. Lopez."

What Brittany didn't know is that Santana required everyone to call her Dr. Lopez only a few people ever called her Santana in a professional setting.

"I want to introduce you to Brittany Pierce, our new volunteer from…" "Where are you from again?" Santana asked with her face full of embarrassment from forgetting to ask the blonde what society sent her to this camp.
Santana was shocked she didn't ask a single detail from Brittany. She had been too amused by Brittany's blushing and commenting that she forgot to ask her about the simplest things. Something about Brittany made Santana forget that she was stressed out about the dig and upcoming deadlines. There was something about Brittany that made Santana feel at peace.

Brittany quickly answered Santana question saving her from further embarrassment.

"I am a volunteer from the American Association of Archaeologist (AAA). I will be helping Santana and you all with the field school while evaluating the teaching methods used during this course. My official job with the AAA is to bring prestige to archaeologist."

Everyone along with Santana looked at Brittany with amused and surprised faces. They were hoping the AAA would recognize their field school as being one of the best in the nations but they were not expecting for a volunteer to actually come and partake in the duties. The crew was also slightly amazed that Santana did not even try to correct Brittany when she called her by her first name. They made sure to keep that little memory in the back of their heads.

"Well crew there you go! Make sure to impress Brittany with our hard work and dedication. Let us show the AAA that this field school is worth the funding and recognition." Said Santana with a nervous but happy smile.

The crewed nodded and returned to their task at hand. Out of one of the tables stood up a pretty blonde with a sundress and walked her way slowly towards Santana and Brittany. She held up her hand to greet Brittany.

"Hello Brittany, my name is Quinn. I am Satan's loyal slave." Quinn added with a huge smirk across her face. She loved embarrassing her best friend in front of strangers.

Santana immediately reacted to Quinn's comment by shooting her a death glare that would make anyone run away, but Quinn just stood there with a delighted smile not even flinching to Santana's death rays.

Brittany watched these two friends with a huge smile and laughed at Quinn's comment.

"So who is Satan and why are you his slave? Shouldn't you be in hell dressed up in red with a pitchfork on your hand?" Brittany asked innocently.

Amused with Brittany's answer Quinn answered "Well Dr. Lopez here is actually Satan reincarnated. I am here taking care that her evil deeds get done on time."

Before anymore teasing could go on Santana interrupted and quickly shot Quinn another glare before turning to Brittany.

"I am very sorry Brittany for the unprofessional attitude from my research assistant Quinn. Apart from being my right hand man she is also my best friend, so believes that calling me Satan is her way of making me seem less scary. Please don't let this make teasing make you believe my field school is just a joke." Santana added wearily.

"Don't worry Santana! I may be a professional but I enjoy jokes all the time. I always believe that there has to be some comedic relief in every situation. Thank you Quinn for breaking the ice and helping me feel like I am already part of the crew's jokes and teasing. I always have such a hard time getting to know people at these field schools because they feel the need to impress me and don't treat me like team member."

Santana quietly sighed and gave Brittany another smile. She was relieved that Brittany had such a calm demeanor. In the back of her mind she felt that having Brittany at this camp would make this summer one of the best experiences.

Deep in her thoughts Santana failed to notice another person coming up to the trio. She felt a sudden nervousness and disgust as she felt a hand slowly make its way down her back and stop only a few centimeters before her touching her butt.

"Why hello gorgeous my name is Artie Abrams."
