Rachel was making everyone nervous as she was directing the cab driver where the minivan was going, pointing and shouting directions, at which in one point they almost lost them because the Cab driver had to ask Rachel to lower her voice. “Rachel you know he's not blind!” Quinn shouted and she glared at her from the back. “Calm down guys,” Finn begged as Sam looked back at them worried, then suddenly he too pointed out the cab's front window to the minivan at a front of an Italian restaurant “THERE THEY ARE! Stop the car!”
“Quinn, can you pay the cab driver?” Finn asked as he hopped out, since Rachel was already ahead of them storming over to where Kurt had just gotten out with the help of another dude.
“Sure…zoom in on my empty wallet,” Quinn muttered apologising to the cab driver for her friend's behaviour, thankfully Sam hadn't abandoned her as he handed him $50. They both followed Rachel and Finn. “KURT HUMMEL! DON'T YOU DARE WALK INTO THAT RESTAURANT UNTIL YOU TALK TO US,” Rachel was screaming now practically down the footpath at where there were a cluster of boys about to walk inside.
“What do you want Cooper?”
“Woah…no ‘I told you not to call me that a million times' but you get straight to the point? I'm hurt Blaine” To give his brother credit, Cooper did sound offended and Blaine sighed again “Sorry, there's a lot going on right now,'
Kurt has been trying to get his attention, so he gave him a forced smile and squeezed his hand so Kurt knew he wasn't forgotten. Jeff was very quiet. He knew how Blaine felt about his brother's presence so he was finding it very hard not to take the phone of Blaine and yell at Cooper for giving Blaine so much grief in the past and now that he was finally happy he didn't want Cooper getting in the way of that. The Warblers were very protective of Blaine. “Can't I check up to see how my baby brother is? How are you Blaine?” Kurt was trying to work out why things were so intense in the car's atmosphere as he tried to read Blaine's face and Jeff's obvious disapproval, he could almost feel the fumes coming from the front seat of the car.
“Well forgive me, but the last time you called to check up on me, was to ask how I was feeling after coming out to mother, and then you went on about your whole big success thing in LA, and forgot everything I just said-“
“Yeah well you weren't depressed or anything, so I figured I shouldn't treat you any diff.,.wait are you mad at me for that? Is that why you haven't been answering my skype calls?”
“You're a reasonably smart guy Cooper, why don't you figure it out, oh and I doubt that you care, but just so you know the Warblers made it to Nationals, which is in New York by the way, you know…the schools choir, I went to audition in at which you told me was a BIG mistake? Remember how you said I'd never make it as a singer? Well this is where it's all happening, Oh and I have a gorgeous boyfriend, he's got these beautiful eyes, gorgeous voice he's amazing and who by the way is also singing with us at Nationals ‘just in case you're interested'. I'm currently not attending to him right now because of your call, so you can go back to your wonderful life, and I'm going to go back to having a fabulous day with my boyfriend without worrying about your opinions as to why I'm not good enough for achieving my dreams, have a good day Cooper”
With that Blaine hung up the phone, and Kurt had undone his seatbelt. “Way to go Blaine!” Jeff applauded and Blaine sighed. They were sitting in the back so he shuffled closer and went to message Blaine's tense shoulders “Hey…you okay?” He asked as Blaine closed his eyes letting Kurt do his magic.
“You aren't the only one with family issues,” Jeff told Kurt finally looking angry as he looked at Blaine from the front “You still want to go through with this?” He asked. Kurt thought he meant the whole being his boyfriend thing and he looked upset by Jeff's comment. Only then Kurt realised Jeff had parked the car down the street.
“I'm sure…” Blaine eventually smiled and stepped out holding his hand for Kurt to follow. Kurt went behind him and then looked up in awe at the massive buildings in front of him.
The MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) was huge! Kurt remembered looking past at it one time when he had his navigator still with him, but he never had the opportunity to take a real good look at it, and then Blaine pointed to one of the windows to the MOMA building and Jeff started singing next to Kurt as they walked “Bum bum bum buuuuuum,” Kurt looked to him and gaped “Um you do know there are people about right?”
Nick appeared from one of the building's doors walking to them and joining in the background vocals. “Bum bum bum buuuuuum,” Then suddenly David was in front of the trio which caused him to stop and blink as David moved his hand towards Blaine as though he were a tsarist “Bada da bum” at which Blaine started singing too Ooooh, baby girl where you at? Got no strings, got men attached…Can't stop that feelin' for long, no,” David and Jeff were dancing, moving their shoulders and clicking their figners as they stood in their positions.
Blaine turned around to face Kurt. “Mmmmm…you makin' dogs wanna beg, Breakin' them off your fancy legs,” Blaine used this opportunity to roam his eyes down to Kurt's legs and then back up to Kurt's face to wink at him. “But they make you feel right at home, now,”
Kurt flushed as tourist and Museum enthusiasms started to stare and watch. “Oooh, see all these illusions just take us too long…and I want it bad,” Blaine grabbed his hands and walked them both towards the front of the crowd of people still singing with a line of Warblers coming in one by one as though on cue to the entrance clicking away their fingers to the music “Because you walk pretty..because you talk pretty, Cause you make me sick, and Im not leavin till youre leavin
“Oh, I swear there's something when she's pumpun, askin' for a raise, well does she want me to carry her home now? So does she want me to buy her things?” At this Thad who Kurt realised then was pretending to be a security guard at the door handed Blaine a pair of pink sunnies from the entrance of the MOMA at which Blaine put on as he walked in gesturing to Kurt and the others to follow him as they sang. The doors were swung open for them by Thad.
The workers stared in shock as the Warblers went in singing inside the MOMA in one big Acapella group ignoring the fact that there was a cue of people in line waiting who were all dancing thinking this was part of an exhibition. “On my house, on my job, On my loot, shoes, my shirt , my crew” Blaine gestured to the Warblers at the word ‘crew' to the crowd of people who were inside the MOMA dancing away to the music clearly enjoying the interruption. “My mind..My father's last name? They went up to the second level as they followed Kurt who tried to pretend he didn't know these people. Kurt found himself eventually singing along with the other Warblers and hiding his face as Blaine was basically cornering him now, moving towards him so that he was stepping backwards almost tripping over but Blaine caught him. Kurt realised the Warblers were serenading him. Blaine moved his hands of his face gently and smiled
When I get you alone
When I get you youll know, babe
When I get you alone
The Warblers had cornered him to a table which is where the Warblers sat on. Blaine jumped on it and Kurt tried to give him a death glare for publicly embarrassing him but then Blaine jumped of and slid towards him looking incredibly sexy. When I get you alone…… Blaine grabbed Kurt's t-shirt and pulled him close for a kiss. Kurt kissed back and the crowd was cheering. Suddenly Trent was in front of them panting with a security guard behind him.
The security guard glared at them as he was nearing them “You can't come in here without paying and bursting out into song, what do you think this is a show choir!?”
“Wait so this wasn't part of the museum?” A lady inside asked as the security guard looked to her bedazzled. “That's a shame, it was a really good performance, you should think about live music…for the public in future” The woman insisted. The Warblers were grateful for her distraction.
Trent then used this as an opportunity to lean over to the guys “Pavarotti,” he whispered.
“What?” Wes asked who was next to him looking and feeling a little anxious at being caught.
“PAVAROTTI,” He said loudly. Wes was frowning but asTrent said the word a second time and was nodding his over to where the security guard was busy talking and then over to the staircase which was empty but the people coming up to use the second level, waving for the rest to follow them Wes caught on what Trent meant and the boys one by one slowly backed down the stairs until they heard “HEY WAIT A MINUTE!”
The security guard was yelling from up the stairs, so they made a running for it, and went back out the front door when reaching first level apologising for almost running into the cleaner. Blaine was laughing as he ran holding Kurt's hand who was looking and feeling a little giddy at their rebellious move.
They ran down the street laughing as a group until they were gasping for breathe.
“Hey losers! Who wants to get pizza?” Sebastian came up to them in a burrowed minivan's drivers seat, they all looked relieved to see Sebastian which was a change. When Sebastian rolled open the door for them all, they all eagerly got in, each minding their heads of course and chatting excitedly about what just happened. Kurt was busy kissing Blaine as they waited their turn. Then Blaine helped Kurt step inside the minivan when Thad groaned “Hurry up guys, you can make out at the hotel where we don't have to watch,” Blaine gave him an evil glare.
“Got to hand it to you Wes, I didn't think you'd allow it to happen, no offence you can be a bit of a prude,” Sebastian said as all of them took a seat inside the minivan. Blaine and Kurt sat in a two seater of course. Evan, Ethan, Julian, Reed sat in the front, David, Wes, and Thad sat in the back 3 seater. Trent sat in a seat that was by itself in the front, and Jeff and Nick were opposite Blaine and Kurt.
“What does Pavarotti mean?” Kurt asked as they were driving, he had been meaning to ask that but had forgotten till then.
“It's our signal,” Blaine responded.
Trent then looked back at Kurt since he was further in the front “We knew there was a possibility of being kicked out, so we came up with a signal in case we needed to sneak out,” he said sensibly.
“And Pavarotti is a bird that has been presented to new Warblers for generations at the school, it's kind of thing that nobody else knows about,” Wes added
“Unless of course you're a bird enthusiastic,” Thad pointed out.
“Hence the badge, we couldn't give you the bird though since it was back home,” Blaine said apologetically to Kurt shrugging. Kurt smiled at him and then laughed as he said “Trent, I can't believe you pulled of the security act, how on earth did you get those clothes?”
“Easy,” Trent's response was of confidence “They sell those uniforms at the gap, were famous for our serenades, they heard about us from Jeff's moment of bliss on Youtube and gave me a discount when I told them our plans,” Laughter erupted in the minivan as Jeff threw a shoe at Trent from the back. Nick patted his boyfriend on the shoulder “Now…now sweetie, what goes around comes around,” he pecked Jeff's cheek and Jeff relaxed his body posture.
Meanwhile Finn and Sam had decided to check out Tiffany and Co. Finn had asked Rachel if she thought Breakfast at Tiffany's was related to Tiffany and Co which he had remembered seeing one time with Mr Schue and the others were sightseeing in the school bus when they went around the city on the first day.
Rachel said it was more like a fan thing to do and then beamed as she suggested they go there. Finn had no choice but to agree, and who knew? Maybe Kurt was there.
Rachel was chatting excited about these two tickets to see CATS to Finn and Quinn when suddenly she stopped. “Rachel?” Finn asked trying to get her attention.
“I hear singing,” Rachel turned around trying to locate the sound “Rachel?!” Finn called again as she kept walking towards the sound. Sam noticed Finn go after Rachel and joined him. Quinn sighed heavily as she mumbled to herself miserably “I should have went shopping with Mercedes and Santana,”
They rushed after Rachel who was heading down the street towards the MOMA building. They watched as they noticed their competition were singing in public.
“I knew they'd be practising you see guys!” Rachel was looking incredibly annoyed.
“Isn't this classified as spying?” Quinn asked from behind as Sam shook his head “How can we be spying if we didn't even know they were here?" Rachel nodded "Thats good logic Sam,"
“Wait a minute…is that Kurt with them?” Quinn asked. Finn finally caught up who had fallen behind “Rachel don't take of like that, were not in Ohio anymore- why is everyone looking like that?” Finn asked suddenly and the Quinn grabbed his arm making him wince “Ow,” and directed it towards the door of the MOMA and Finn's jaw dropped.
“It's Kurt…”
They found him.
Rachel began running towards the entrance, Quinn, Finn and Sam following but then the security guard stopped them “Oh no, I'm not letting any more of you rascals inside without paying your fee!”
“Sir, we have to talk to one of the boys who just went in ther…”
“If you're going to go inside, go to the back of the line like the others!” He pointed to the cue which was a mile long. “Now excuse me while I go deal with those boys, and when I kick them out, then you can talk to them!”
They waited in line as directed and then noticed the boys burst back out through the doors in one big commotion running away from the same angry man. Rachel started running after them and called back to the others "Well dont just stand there, come on lets get to Kurt before he disappears again!!"
They were panting heavilly by the time the Warblers and Kurt got in the minvan, they were just about to reach them when the door closed as Sam called Kurts name but they obviously didnt hear. Rachel whistled "TAXI!" A taxi pulled up immediately and they got in. "Can you follow that minivan please?" Sam got in the front and Quinn, Finn and Rachel didnt have time to argue about what seat to take as they got in the back.
