One day while going outside for the paper he herd a voice singing from across the street. The song he herd was familiar seeing as her always listened to music in his room.

"Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes, and leap!"

Kurt hesitantly put the paper back into the paper back into the mailbox and walked over to the house.

He just stood there listening to what it seemed a small girl singing. He got all the courage he possibly could and knocked at the door.

"Hello?" Said a small girl quietly
"Hi I'm Kurt. I live across the street. I herd you singing, you're really good!" he squeaked out in a high pitched voice.
The small girl simply giggled at the small boy just standing on her porch.
"Well hello! My name is Rachel. I've been practicing my singing because one day I'm going to be a star!!"
Kurt knew right then and there that him and Rachel were going to great friends.

"I love to sing and dance so much that my daddies pay for lessons everyday!" she continued
Kurt listened to her go on about her stardom dream until he chimed in "If we make it, can we be Broadway stars together?"
"Only if you good enough!"
"Oh well I think I'm good enough!" he laughed

Rachel and Kurt began to talk about all the hobbies they shared. Such as singing, dancing, and acting. Even at the young age of 8 their perspective on musicals were more inclined than most adults.

"KURT!!??" he herd someone yell from across the street
"Oh my goodness, I completely forgot to tell my parents that I came here" he frantically stated shooting off his seat to the door.
"I have to go... I'll see you tomorrow?" he continued
"I wouldn't miss is for the world!" Rachel exclaimed
"Bye" they yelled to each other as Kurt ran across the street.

"Kurt Hummel where have you been for the past hour?" both parents asked in a worry.
"I made a new friend! Her name is Rachel. She lives across the street."
Both parents immediately eased and smiled. It was their son's first friend in Lima. They let him off with a warning and Kurt skipped off to his room.

He started singing to practice for tomorrow with Rachel when he got into his room he noticed a lot of things were different.

"Mom what happened to my room?"
"You'll have to take that down with your father. I'll send him up."
"Thanks" Kurt said in an upset tone

He walked over to bed where the first thing he realized his black and white sheets were replaces with super hero sheets. His eyes were becoming misty. "Why is this like this?" he began to ask himself. "Does dad not like the style of my room?" His eyes began to get wet. He turned to his trophy shelf, where he kept all of his musical awards from previous plays and musicals he was in. They were replaced by action figures. He was getting heated that his own father did this to him.

"You called son?" Burt asked
"Yes I would like to know where my room went" Kurt said in between sobs.
"Well ya see son, when I was your age my room looked a little like this. So when you were outside I took the opportunity to do a little rearranging. I thought it would fit your age more than designer sheets"
"But I liked my room how it was!" He began crying harder
"I'm sorry, Kurt. I'll fix it tomorrow while you're at Rachel's okay?" He was crushed he hurt his sons feeling like that.
"Yeah that's fine. Thanks, dad" he stopped sobbing
"So about this Rachel girl.." Burt began
"What is she to you? Do you like her?" Burt eagerly wanted to hear if his son had a small crush.
"No, she's just a friend. She's really nice and has a really strong voice."
"So she's just a friend?" Burt pushed the question
"Nothing more, dad"
"All right. Well goodnight Kurt. See ya in the morning."

At that Burt left the room so Kurt could get a good nights sleep. Kurt wasn't planning to to go to sleep any time soon. So we walked over to the action figures, picked one up and saw the crazy costumes they were all wearing. A brilliant idea struck. "How fun would if be if I made a fashion show for me and Rachel to do tomorrow?" At the thought he was rummaging through his chest to find all of his costumes for tomorrow. He was up half the night looking for every tiara, costume, and shoes possible for the event.
