"Whoa slow down there speedy, you'll get the hiccups" Elizabeth told her son
"Sorry I just don't want to keep Rachel waiting. She told me we would spend another day together." Kurt said with a mouth full of cheerios
"Okay just be careful, and remember if you need anything we're right across the street!" She yelled, doubting Kurt herd her as he rushed out the door.
*knock knock*
"Rachel! Ms Rachel! Are you awake yet?" Kurt yelled at the front door
It took a good 2 minutes for her to actually get to the door.
"And what do you wan- Oh kurt! Early bird catches the worm?" She said half yawning
"Sorry, am I too early? I'll go home of you want me to..."
"No Kurt stay. I just wasn't expecting you so early! Come in come in!"
"Sorry. Im still kind of new to this whole 'friendship' thing' he said shyly
"What do you mean new to friendship?"
"Well I didn't really have friends at my old school. I mostly got bullied for being into theatre and fashion"
Rachel look at Kurt's eyes. His big blue eyes. She could see the pain in them just talking about the subject. She wanted to hug him, but now knowing that he's never really had a friend she didn't know if she should. She pushed that thought aside and lunged full force at Kurt embracing him so hard he couldn't breathe.
"I'm your friend Kurt. And if no one else wants to be your friend then its their loss. You're a great person. I'm glad you came to my door step the other day seeing who was singing. To be honest I don't have that many friends either."
Rachel pulled a way and looked at him.
"Rachel your the best friend I could ask for" Kurt cried while lunging at her to embrace another hug.
"You too Kurt, you too"
They stood there embracing eachother for another minute until Kurt pulled away.
"I brought something for us to do today!" Kurt squealed
"What is it what is it?!"
"I brought my costumes! I thought we could have a fashion show!"
"I LOVE that idea!" Rachel said. Almost a little too dramatically
"What costumes did you bring?"
"Well I brought all my tiaras, a few pairs of shoes and nice dress clothes. "Do you have any costumes?"
"Kurt! Its like you don't know me at all! Of course I have costumes! I have all the princess costumes!"
"Its perfect! And after the fashion show can we have a tea party?"
"You just have the greatest ideas kurt!"
"Why thank you. Thank you" he said sarcastically.
"Can I be Ariel for the first run?" Kurt begged
"Please Rachel! Pleasee!"
"Why? You can be Prince Eric!"
"I want to be Ariel for once! Please Rachel!"
"Why do you wanna be Ariel so bad Kurt?"
"Why can't we switch it up. I be the girl and you be the boy. It'll be fun! Then we'll both have a view of what its like to be a different gender!"
"Well if you put it that way..I guess we can do it. But for only one run!"
"Yayy!!" Kurt cheered
"Follow me up stairs"
Kurt did what he was told and followed her up to her room. When that got to the hallway he was looking at the picture when he noticed a boy he hadn't seen before. As any curious boy would he asked Rachel.
"Who's that?" He said gesturing to the small boy with beautiful dark brown eyes.
"That is my brother Blaine" She said in a matter of fact tone.
"Where is he?"
"He's upstate at band camp. He comes home tomorrow. You wanna meet him?"
"Of course I want to meet your brother! If he's anything like you I'm sure I'll like him!"
"Well then you're in luck. He's just like me! Except he can't dance as well as me. And sometimes he forgets the words to songs. But who doesn't?" She giggled
"I can't wait to meet him"
Kurt took one more glance at the picture before continuing up the stairs. When he looked into his eyes he got a nervous feeling in his stomach. He ignored it and kept walking.
When Kurt got into Rachel's room he was blinded by gold stars and pink paint everywhere.
"This is my room. My daddies did it for me. Isn't it perfect!?" She stated.
"It's very you. " Was the only thing Kurt could get out.
"Yes. yes it is." Rachel said proudly
She ran over to her closet where all of her costumes were hung up. She handed Kurt the Ariel costume and he handed her a pair of grey pants, black shoes and a white button up.
After 5 minutes of both of them struggling to get into their costumes they did it and looked at each other.
"Rachel you don't look very manly with long hair. We're going to have to cut it!" Kurt said in her face
"NO! not my hair! I'll put a wig on! I have lots of those!"
"There ya go. good idea."
"You don't look like Ariel. You just look like a guy with a green mermaid tail. I'll get you a wig too"
"But the wig will mess up my hair!" Kurt cried
"Well if you don't want to wear the wig then I guess you're Prince Eric..."
"Fine. gimme the wig"
"Now we look like the real thing" Rachel said. She wouldn't admit it, but she was excited about dressing as Prince Eric for once.
"We look perfect! Come on let's go the crowd is waiting!"
Rachel had took the pleasure of lining up all her stuffed animals to make and audience for them.
"Who's going first? or are we walking together?" Kurt asked
"Let's go together! and maybe act out a scene and sing a song!"
"Good idea Rachel! Let's go! Mr scruffy is looking quite upset we're taking so long." Kurt said in a serious voice
"AND NOW PRESENTING ARIEL AND PRINCE ERIC'S FIRST EVER FASHION SHOW!" Rachel said in the best announcer voice she could. Kurt couldn't help but laugh at the sway she tried so hard.
Then they walked the catwalk hand in hand to pose for the cameras.
"The camera loves us!" Rachel exclaimed!
"Get my better side" She said to one of the bears
"Shall we sing my Prince?" Kurt never thought he was be saying that.
"We shall my princess" Rachel thought the same thing.
"There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don’t got a lot to say
But there’s something about her
And you don’t know why
But you’re dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl
Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It’s possible she wants you, too
There is one way to ask her
It don’t take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
Sing with me now
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh, my
Look at the boy too shy
He ain’t gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain’t that sad
Ain’t it shame, too bad
You gonna miss the girl "
When they finished the bowed and walked off the walk way to backstage.
"Do you want to do a second run or go for a tea party?" Rachel asked
"I'm quite in the mood for some tea, if that's okay with you"
"I was thinking the same thing. I just wanted to ask first."
Rachel went into her closet and pulled out the greatest tea party kit Kurt had ever seen.
"wow" was all Kurt could say
"you like it?"
"it looks amazing Rachel! Where did you get it?
"I got it for Hanukkah one year. Me and Blaine use it every chance we get"
"Who's Blaine?"
"My brother silly. C'mon we just talked about this. He's at band camp right now. He'll be back tomorrow"
"When he gets back can all three of us have tea parties together?"
"I don't see why not!"
"Cool!"
Rachel set everything up while Kurt took off his costume. Rachel stayed in her. Kurt figured she actually enjoyed dressing as a Prince for once. Kurt felt the same, but the costume was a little too small for him so he had to take it off.
"Its all ready!" Rachel yelled to Kurt
"Okay hang on I'll be right there" He secretly fixed his hair, he couldn't handle having messy hair
They sat down and started talking about The Little Mermaid. Which was both of their favorite Disney movie. Then Rachel brought up Blaine. Kurt was instantly interested. He began asking a bunch of questions about him before he realized what he was ever doing.
"Geez are you planning on knowing his life story by tomorrow?" Rachel said nudging Kurt's shoulder
"No I just want to know what kind of boy he is! Is that a crime?"
"No but you can calm down on the questions. Ask them to him tomorrow, I'm sure he'll be happy to answer them"
"Okay fine" But Kurt was nervous to meet Blaine and ask him questions. That's why he was asking Rachel. He didn't know why he was so nervous to meet another boy.
"Hello Earth to Kurt!" Rachel waved her hand in front of Kurt's face
"Sorry, I zoned out. Do you happen to know the time?"
"I do not, but the street lights are turning on"
"Aw shoot! I gotta go! Same time tomorrow?
"Maybe a like 20 minutes later. I like my Beauty sleep" Rachel said with a wink
That creeped Kurt out.
"Alright I gotta go! Thank you! See You in the morning!" Kurt called as he exited the front door.
He ran across the street just in time for the lights to get on. He said good night to his mom and dad and went to bed. Even though he didn't think he could sleep because he was so nervous for Blaine's homecoming tomorrow. But he tried to sleep anyways.
