AN: Intended as a two shot, but seems to be writing itself... If there's enough demand I could be persuaded to continue into a multichap. Let me know! Also congratz NY 3 and as always major love for HeYa Tourflirt!

Whipped this out pretty fast, mistakes are all my own. I don't own Brittana, if I did they would be sooo much more ON.

Slight language warning. T for now, may switch to M later.

"Can we, can we, can we..?" Santana's eyes flew open, her body rocking as the bouncing blond beside her jostled the whole bed.

Risking a quick peek at Britt, she was instantly assaulted by her full on baby blues as she knelt on the bed before her, fully awake, fully clothed and definitely far too peppy for this time in the morning.

"Ughh" Santana groaned and rolled over, fighting the urge to give in to her girlfriend's puppy dog eyes. It's Sunday...Sunday is sleep day, the day of rest, yep Jesus said so, only useful thing he ever...

"What Britt?" she demanded, losing the battle to ignore her turning back over to meet her blue eyes.

The blonde's pretty features instantly pulled into a pout at her tired girlfriend's sharp tone. Santana groaned and half buried her head into the pillow.

"Why are you extra adorable today?" she grumbled.

The blonde's smile threatened to return, but she carefully held her pout in place. Receiving no response Santana shifted her gaze back to her girlfriend.

"I'm sorry B...it's just early and I'm like exhausted." The pout remained firmly in place, so the Latina quickly changed track..."Can we do what?"

Confusion flitted across Brittany's face, but quickly cleared when she remembered her own earlier pleading.

"Go to the Zoo!" She blurted out, unable to contain the words long enough to explain her request.

Santana groaned inwardly, although she also had to suppress a smile. She could read Brittany like a book, and watching all the emotions play across her face as she waited eagerly for an answer, and all the excitement that was written there, was just way too cute.

Even if she was HBIC, one well placed glance from Britt and she was putty in the cute blonde's hands. Sure it could be inconvenient, but Santana secretly loved that their relationship was that strong.

"The Zoo huh?" Santana feigned disinterest whilst deciding any further attempts at sleep would be futile and sitting up to stretch.

Britt nodded at her excitedly, clapping her hands silently.

"Is this because we got our Lion King on last night?" Santana enquired, already knowing the answer.

The blonde nodded again enthusiastically, "And then I had a dream about lions and tigers and ducks" Brittany paused to gauge Santana's reaction, satisfied she was tired and cranky but not close to boiling point she continued.

"But then I realised that in the movie there's no giraffes, and that's kinda dumb... Right S.?" She paused again, looking to her girlfriend, who simply nodded encouragingly; she had to hear this one...

"Well it's dumb because if there's no giraffes, then who could reach to pick the berries, and what would the lions eat?"

She gave Santana a proud little smile when she finished, and the Latina, who was used to her girlfriend's own special perception of the world, just smiled back.

"BrittBritt, lions don't eat berries... Except for maybe one kind of particularly annoying Berry." Santana cackled a little, proud of her own tongue lashing prowess, even at this ungodly hour.

"But then what do they eat?" the blonde asked, completely missing the last half of what she had just heard, her nose scrunching in that adorable way it always did when she was thinking.

Dreading trying to explain to her sweet and innocent girlfriend that lions chow down on bouncing baby zebras, Santana quickly piped up with a distraction.

"You know what B., you are so right, I mean why would they miss out the giraffes?"

The Latina exhaled with relief as the blonde took the bait.

"Yeah, that is so like, racist...Or something. I'm gonna write to Dr Doolittle." She stated with suck conviction that Santana didn't even bother getting into a discussion on the difference between fictional characters and real people.

Instead she let her body flop back against the large fluffy pillows on Brittany's bed, opening her arms, and pulling her girlfriend close as she flopped down against her side.

As Britt buried her face into Santana's neck, the brunette could feel her resolve breaking.

"You wanna go to the zoo?" she questioned, though she already knew the answer.

"Mhmm" Brittany's reply and frantic nodding tickled her throat.

"Fine" she replied, being sure to add just a little reluctance into her voice, "We'll go to the Zoo."

Xxxx

An hour later the girls were in Santana's car, headed towards Ohio's only Zoo, which was over an hour drive from Lima.

Brittany had been bouncing in her seat and chattering excitedly ever since they had left the house.

"Yeah it's gonna be great" Santana agreed with her giddy ramblings, keeping one eye on the road as she quickly pulled out her cell to check that her plans for the day were set to go off without a hitch.

If Britt wants the Zoo, then she's gonna get the Zoo, with all the trimmings. Smiling to herself when she was satisfied her arrangements were all confirmed, Santana dropped her cell onto the dash, guiding her Mustang easily around a tight bend as her hand sought out Brittany's.

By the time they reached their destination and Santana had put the car into park, Brittany was almost trembling with excitement.

"B. calm down..." the brunette started, but before she could finish, her girlfriend had dived out the passenger door, ran around to the driver side and was eagerly yanking Santana out of the vehicle.

"Quick Sanny!" She wailed, forgetting in her excitement the many conversations they'd had about that nickname only being used in private, and in her indoor voice.

Santana flinched, her HBIC rep would take a major hit if anyone from McKinley got hold of that juicy morsel. However seeing how her girl's eyes were alight with excitement, as she almost jumped on the spot, she let it slide, allowing herself to be pulled from the car.

She'd hardly had time to hit the lock control, before Britt had wound their fingers together, and was once again towing her along. Her dancers legs ate up the ground as she all but charged for the entrance.

"Britt..." Santana tried to resist, planting her feet to the ground, but she was no match for the taler and ridiculously over excited dancer.

"Britt!" She protested again, as they continued to hurtle forwards.

"The line is getting bigger!" the blonde didn't pause as she offered her explanation.

"Brittany!" Santana all but yelled. It was enough to make her girlfriend stop, and reluctantly turn away from her target.

"Sanny the line is getting big, and I really wanna see the giraffes and the..."

"Britt" Santana cut her off reaching up to place a finger on her lips. "We aren't getting in line."

Confusion darkened the blonde's features before they distorted into a look of sheer horror.

"But if we don't get in line how do we get in?...Wait, this is the Zoo right" She didn't pause to let Santana answer, "Because it looks like the last time we came, and I'm pretty sure that sign says Zoo" she pointed above their heads.

Santana couldn't help the smile that pulled at the corners of her lips. The blonde was adorable, even when she was totally confused and rambling.

"Babe" the Latina explained, her voice gentle, "We aren't gonna join the line because we have VIP passes."

As the brunette unveiled her surprise she let her lips crack into a tiny anticipatory grin, her deep brown eyes searched ocean blue ones, waiting for a squeal or a clap, or some kind of reaction.

When she received none, and noticed her girlfriend's beautiful blue eyes begin to shone with tears instead of excitement, she was instantly alarmed. Before she could open her mouth to speak, Brittany beat her to it.

"Who died?" she asked, looking at Santana through her long lashes, her eyes full of sadness.

The Latina let out an audible sigh of relief, and mentally chided herself for not seeing that one coming.

She pulled her girlfriend into a tight hug, wrapping her arms around her waist and resting her chin on her shoulder, while the blonde buried her face in dark silky locks.

"Don't be sad baby, no one died. I said VIP not RIP."

Brittany drew back from their hug, though her fingers remained laced behind Santana's neck, as the other girl continued to hold her around the waist, stroking her back gently through her shirt.

"I don't understand Sanny." Blue eyes searched brown, "Nobody died?"

"No mija."

Brittany nodded her understanding, and her expression cleared a little.

"VIP stands for very important person BrittBritt." The blue eyes grew wide again in response.

"Is Simba here?"

Santana, totally used to having to re-explain herself countless times shrugged patiently.

"I'm not sure about Simba, but there's gonna be lions, and tigers, and giraffes" she paused to enjoy the huge grin that was spreading across her girlfriend's perfect face.

"And the VIP is you B." she continued, "Because you're very, very important to me, so I decided to call ahead and arrange a little surprise for you." The Latina watched as the blonde's lips popped and her mouth dropped open, before she proceeded to launch herself forward and cover every inch of the tan skin of her cheeks with kisses.

"Thank you Sanny! Thank you, thank you!" she breathed out. Santana did a quick visual scan before tilting her head to steal a kiss on the lips from her beautiful girl.

As they parted Brittany had just one more question, "I've never had a VIP pass before...What does it do?"

Santana chuckled, linking Brittany's fingers with her own. "Come this way b. and I'll show you."
