Kurt walked over to meet Blaine and Burt. "Ok, we're both here. How'd it go? What happened? Did they -" Blaine asked eagerly.

"By any chance, did you have sugar or caffeine?" Kurt asked as he laughed at his boyfriend who was practically bouncing as he stood waiting for Kurt's answer.

"Nope. Now how did it go?" Blaine asked again.

"It went fine. Great actually. She seemed really nice," Kurt said. "Are we going to head back to the hotel or get some food or something?"

"That's great! And what do you want to do?" Burt said.

"Can we maybe get something to eat, seeing as I didn't eat much before the meeting?" Kurt asked.

Burt laughed. "I told you to eat more then, but yeah, we can go get something." The group walked over to a coffee shop. They placed their orders and sat down at a table.

"So, obviously more happened that you haven't told us. I mean, you were there for over an hour. Something must have happened if you were there for that long," Blaine said.

"I mean I told you most of it. I met her, we talked about my resume, I sang, and then we talked some more. I don't really know what you guys want me to say," Kurt responded.

"Well, I think what Blaine is trying to get at is if the woman liked you," Burt said.

"I think so," Kurt responded. " I mean we were able to talk for about an hour. Granted it was all about me and my past and future. But she seemed genuinely interested."

"Well that's good. Did you kill "Not the Boy Next Door" like you did at your NYADA audition?" Blaine asked.

"I think so. Mrs. Wright had pretty much the same reaction as Carmen."

"Awesome!" Blaine said. "I told you that you had nothing to worry about."

"Yeah, but you aren't in my situation," Kurt said. "It's easy to say 'don't freak out' and 'everything will be fine' when it's not your future."

Blaine looked a little hurt at that statement. It wasn't the words so much as it was Kurt's tone. "Oh, baby," Kurt said. "I didn't mean it like that."

"I know you didn't," Blaine said. "It's fine. I understand that you are super stressed out."

"So," Burt finally, "what's on the schedule for tomorrow?"

"I have a meeting at 9:30 –" Kurt started but was interrupted by Blaine's groan. "Is there a problem Blaine?"

"If your meeting is at 9:30, do you know how early we'll have to get up?" Blaine asked.

"Yes, I know, but you always have the option of just staying and sleeping while I'm getting ready and going to meetings by myself."

"Fine."

"Anyway, so I have that meeting in the morning and then we're meeting Cooper for lunch."

"Sounds good. Now when are you meeting Rachel?" Burt asked.

"I'm meeting her on Thursday in between meetings, and then I think Blaine's going to meet with Cooper on Thursday again, right?"

"That's the plan," Blaine said.

"So I have to figure out something to do for part of Thursday?" Burt asked.

"Uh, yeah," Kurt said awkwardly.

"That's no problem. I'll call Hiram and Leroy. I want to talk to them about Rachel," Burt said.

"Why?" Kurt asked.

"I'm just really curious about her plans and how she is doing. According to you, she didn't take the news that you did something better very well. I think that it'll be easier to get accurate information from her dads. Plus, I want to see if they can help knock some sense in to Rachel. She was one of your best friends, Kurt. You shouldn't have to lose her over something like this," Burt said.

"Oh," Kurt said.

"So are we done here?" Burt asked.

"I think so," Kurt said. "What now?"

"Well, Blaine has a surprise for you. And then we can head out," Burt said.

Kurt looked confused. "You have surprise for me?"

"Yeah," Blaine said. "Think of it as a "Congratulations for Not Making it into NYADA" gift."

Kurt laughed. "'Congratulations for Not Making it into NYADA'?"

"Well, I'm not sure what else to call it," Blaine said as he handed over his surprise.

Kurt took the gift and his eyes widened. "Are these really tickets to "Anything Goes"?"

"Yup," Blaine said smiling.

"Oh my God. You did not have to do this. This is….just…oh my God…."

Blaine and Burt laughed. "Kurt. Just stop trying to talk. I get it. You enjoy the tickets and you are obviously surprised."

Kurt stopped talking for a few seconds before speaking up again, "But there are only two tickets."

"Yeah, could you really see me at a Broadway show?" Burt asked.

"No, but what are you going to do?" Kurt asked.

"Don't worry about me. Just go have fun with Blaine tonight," Burt said.

"I…just…ok." Kurt said.

"So, how about we head to the hotel, because I have a feeling that Kurt is going to want to change before we go to the show, am I right?" Burt said.

"Well, yeah. I mean this outfit was good for a meeting, but I can't wear this to the show tonight," Kurt said.

"But, you look fine," Blaine said.

"No. I think I have the perfect outfit back at the hotel," Kurt muttered.

"Of course you do," Blaine laughed.

Burt, Blaine, and Kurt left the coffee shop and walked back to the hotel. When they got back to the hotel, Blaine went on his laptop, Burt turned on the TV, and Kurt went to get ready.

Forty-five minutes later, Kurt was finally ready. "Dad, we're going to leave already and so we have some time to just walk around the city," Kurt said.

"That's fine. Be safe," Burt said.

"Don't worry. We will, Mr. Hummel," Blaine said as Kurt and Blaine walked out of the hotel room. The left the hotel and walked around the city for about a half hour before heading over to the theatre.

Kurt and Blaine finished watching their show and went back to the hotel. "Thank you so much, Blaine. That show was fantastic!"

"I thought you would enjoy it," Blaine said. "I'm just really happy for you."

"Thank you," Kurt said, "for everything. There was the show and you're actually here in New York with me and then all the support during the school year. Just thank you so much."

"It's absolutely no problem, Kurt. I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to," Blaine said.

They got back to the hotel, went up to the room, and went to bed.

The next morning, the alarm went off at 7:00. By 8:30, everyone was finally ready. The group left the hotel and got a coffee before dropping Kurt off for his second meeting.

The meeting went similarly to the meeting yesterday. Kurt liked the person he met with, Allan Lewis, but he felt that he liked Catherine Wright better. Kurt wasn't sure why, but Kurt just felt more comfortable and relaxed during yesterday's meeting, which was saying something.

Kurt finished his meeting and sent a text message to Blaine. Blaine and Burt came by the building and got Kurt, before heading over to the restaurant where they were supposed to be meeting Cooper. They got a table, ordered their drinks, and waited for Cooper to show up.

After about five minutes, Cooper Anderson walked through the door. "Hey, little brother!" Cooper greeted his brother with a hug.

"Hey, Coop," Blaine said. "You remember Kurt, right?"

"Of course I do. Hey, Kurt."

"Hey, Cooper," Kurt responded politely.

"And this is Kurt's father," Blaine said.

"It's Burt," Burt said as he shook Cooper's hand. "Nice to meet you."

"So, little brother, what are you doing in New York?" Cooper asked.

"I'm here with Kurt. He's meeting with some agents this week," Blaine said.

"Really?" Cooper suddenly perked up. "Which agents? What are you planning to do?"

"There are five people I'm meeting with. And ideally, I would like to be on Broadway –" Kurt began, but he was cut off by Cooper.

"Do you not remember what I told your glee club during my master class? Broadway is dead. You should go straight for Hollywood. That's where it's at. I mean I could totally hook you up with some great people and –"

"Cooper, as lovely as all that sounds, I really want to just do Broadway. Even if you say that it's dead, I love to perform and it's what I really want to do."

"But, Kurt, just listen –" Cooper was cut off by the waiter coming to take their orders. After they all placed their orders, Cooper didn't miss a beat and continued to try and convince Kurt to go to Hollywood. "Just think about this Kurt. You could stay and do Broadway. Fine. But, you could come to Hollywood with me and I could set you up with a bunch of people and you could be starting in commercials and be on TV and in movies in no time."

"My goal isn't to make it on TV, though. I want to perform on stage, on Broadway. Going to Hollywood isn't going to help that dream," Kurt responded.

"But –"

"Cooper, will you drop it?" Blaine said. "He obviously doesn't want to go to Hollywood with you. Can't you just let him be happy in New York?"

"I'm just trying to do what is best for him."

"And how would you know what is best for him?" Burt asked.

"Look, I see the path he's going down. I'm going down that path right now. It is one that involves fame and fortune and I definitely can help with that because I'm there."

"Except for the fact, he is going through this by doing Broadway, not commercials," Blaine reasoned. Blaine loved his brother, but times like this really annoyed him. Cooper believed he knew what was best for everyone, even if he really didn't.

"I'm just saying, if it's fame and fortune, he could come with me and it could be done a lot faster."

"Look, Cooper," Kurt finally said. "I appreciate the offer, but I really want to do Broadway. If I'm going to get famous, I want it to be for that, not for doing commercials and cheesy movies."

"Whatever you say," Cooper sighed, "but feel free to call me any time if you change your mind."

"Anyway, what are you doing in New York? I thought you lived in L.A." Kurt said.

"I'm leaving Friday. I'm just in town for some meetings about stuff in the future," Cooper said.

The food came and everyone ate while making small talk. When everyone finished eating, they said their goodbyes and went there separate ways. Cooper went off to more meetings and Kurt, Blaine, and Burt went to walk around the city some more.

Kurt somehow managed to talk Blaine into doing some shopping. Burt decided that he just couldn't keep up with Kurt's shopping and went back to the hotel. Kurt and Blaine shopped until finally at 4:00 Blaine suggested going back to the hotel to figure out a plan for dinner.

Kurt, Blaine, and Burt decided that they should just get something that they could bring back to the hotel and stay in. Well, Burt and Blaine decided that. Kurt was all for going out and exploring New York more, but Blaine managed to convince him to just relax tonight because soon Kurt would be living in New York and could explore all he wanted.

The next morning, Kurt, Blaine, and Burt woke up and got ready. They left the hotel, grabbed a coffee, and dropped Kurt off for his meeting with William Moore. An hour and a half later, Kurt was sending a text message to Burt saying that he was done. Blaine had gone to spend some time alone with his brother.

Burt came by and asked Kurt about his meeting. Kurt told him about how the meetings were all similar, which was kind of boring. Kurt just felt like he was answering the same questions over and over again, but he had kind of expected that. If you are going to meet with five people who are all in the same business, you should expect to be asked the same questions in every meeting.

Burt and Kurt walked over to the coffee shop together. Once there, Kurt sat down with Rachel, while Burt went over to talk with Hiram and Leroy.
