"…you what?" Rachel froze in total disbelief.

"I found a date for the social! I know, I cant believe it myself but I was looking for someone amazing and I found her."

Rachel couldn't believe it. She really thought the day would never come but now she has to put her supportive friend face on. "Wow. That's great. I'm really happy for you."

"Are you going with anyone?"

"No. I decided to go stag and just hang out with my friends and mingle."

"Great. Then you can help me pick out some things for her. Your manual mentions girls like flowers. I'm not really a flower kind of person so I need your expertise."

"Now I have expertise?"

"Well yeah! It's because of you that this even happened."

Rachel sat back mentally kicking herself in the ass. "I've always liked white roses. They are sweet without trying too hard."

"Cool. I want everything to be fresh so how about tomorrow afternoon you come shopping with me? We can pick out some cute outfits to wear tomorrow night and I can get this girl some swag."

"Yeah sure. Sounds like a blast."

"Ah! I'm so excited. Isn't this fantastic?"

"Yup! It sure is. It's definitely kick you in the crotch, spit on your neck fantastic," Rachel said before taking another sip of her latte.

Santana ran into her room and Rachel sank into the couch wishing she had offered to go to the coffee shop instead.

It's now only a few hours before the NYADA Social. Rachel and Santana are in the mall looking around for something to wear tonight. Santana is testing out some new perfume.

"That smells really good on you."

Santana turned to look over at Rachel. "Yeah? I'll pick this up and wear it tonight then."

"Yup. Happy to help your new lady friend be as turned on around you as humanly possible." Rachel said with a flat tone as she put her outfit on the counter for the cashier.

"What would I do without you?"

"Masturbate in the bathroom more frequently?"

Santana laughed and put her arm around Rachel, giving her a side hug. "Come on, we have to get to the flower place before it closes."

"Oh yeah, wouldn't want to forget that." They grabbed their purchases and went over to the florist. Santana bought a single white rose because Rachel said it would be very romantic on a first date.

Back at the apartment they have both finished getting ready and it's almost time to leave.

"So tell me about this girl," Rachel asked while wondering why she is doing this to herself.

"There isnt much to tell. She's really cute, funny, got a good head on her shoulders."

"Sounds like a good catch."

"Yeah she is. You ready to go?"

"Isn't your date picking you up? I wouldn't be okay with tagging along."

"She's going to meet me there. I figured we could share a cab over."

Rachel said that was a good idea. They headed over and were now standing in front of the party waiting for Santana's date.

Rachel noticed Santana fidgeting and pacing a little. She cant help but think it's cute how flustered she is right now, even if it's for someone else. "Hey, don't be nervous. I wouldn't worry. I'm sure she's going to get all kinds of giddy when you hand her that rose and tell her how beautiful she looks." Rachel was sincere. She really does just want Santana to be happy.

Santana sighed loudly. "I really hope so." Then Santana handed the rose over to Rachel. "Here. You look beautiful."

Santana smiled as Rachel just stood there in shock grabbing the rose. "Wait, what? What about the girl you're meeting here?"

"There is no girl. Well, I mean, there is. Before I got home yesterday I realized I wanted to take you. So, will you go to the social with me?"

"I don't even know what to say. I can't believe you did this."

Santana laughed and grabbed Rachel's hand. "I also may have heard from a little gay birdie that you're totally hot for me. Not that I can blame you because all of this right here is Grade A prime sex kitten."

"Oh my god I'm going to kill him! I cant believe he told you. I'm so embarrassed." She covered her face with her other hand as she turned red.

"Don't be. I ran into him at the coffee shop and he might have let slip that you're secretly glad I have no game with women. And I might have let slip that I haven't been at all serious about finding a date to this thing ever since you told me you're into girls."

"So then this whole time..."

"Well, even longer than you think. I've had a crush on you for months but I didn't know until a few weeks ago that you could even be an option. But then you were so set on finding me a girl that I didn't think you were interested in me. When Kurt said you like me I had to do something about it."

She put her hand down and looked directly at Santana. "This is all very sneaky and unexpected and I'm still pretty embarrassed so I need to know why I should go with you."

Santana smiled before giving her an answer. "You mean besides my heartfelt confession? God you're obnoxious."

Rachel took her hand back and crossed her arms

"Ha okay, okay, I'm sorry. We just understand each other. I'm loyal, caring and have nice hair. I'm no dog but I cant promise I wont hump your leg."

Rachel smiled and nodded. "You forgot nice tits."

Santana reached out and pulled her in a little closer. "I get that you're surprised. But I think we both can agree that this was a long time coming. So, you in?"

" Yes, I would love to go with you."

"Awesome."

They held hands and began walking into the party.

"So wait a minute. You did all of this, making me take you to bars and watching you be awful to people, making me think you were here to meet some amazing girl and having me help you pick out all of these nice things for her only so you can ask me out instead?"

"Yup."

"I should have known you were faking this whole having no game thing."

"Oh no I wasn't faking, I'm really horrible to women. But I told you I wanted to date someone amazing so I pulled out the big guns when I realized who that person was."

"Oh you're good."

Santana gave her a soft kiss. "Now come on, lets get inside. We don't have much time because I know Munchkin Land has a curfew. Gotta get you back on time before Glinda gets pissed." Santana starts pulling her into the room.

"And we're back to horrible."

Rachel thinks about what she may have just gotten herself into. But then she reminds herself that Santana is far more sweet to her than anyone else ever has been and she also does have pretty nice boobs so it compensates for a lot.

The End

AN: As with all Pezberry stories you should naturally assume that after they social they bang. I started a new job and with the schedule this story would have never been updated again. So rather than abandoning it I decided to end it. Maybe some day I'll write a series of one-shots of Santana on all her dates.
