Cassidy ran out of her room, "Kurt! Kurrrt!"

"In my room," Kurt called out.

Cassidy raced into the room and dived on their bed, "Help!" she cried hiding under the covers.

Kurt lowered his book, he didn't have work tonight and Blaine had a concert to play tonight. He looked over at the small lump on the bed, "May I ask why you need help?"

Cassidy said something but it was muffled under the blankets.

"Can't hear you," Kurt said to her.

Pulling the covers off of her face, Cassidy looked up at him, "There's a huge spider in my room."

"A spider?" Kurt asked her, "You are that afraid of a spider?"

"You haven't seen the spider," Cassidy said, "How do you know you won't be afraid of the spider?"

"Doesn't Stormageddon eat the spiders?" Kurt set his book down.

"Not the bad ones," Cassidy said, "And this one is bad."

"Alright," Kurt got off the bed, "Show me where you last saw the spider."

Cassidy grabbed Kurt's arm, "No, don't go in there. You won't survive."

Kurt looked over at Cassidy, "Is this spider bigger than my hand?"

"No," Cassidy shook her head.

"I'm sure I'll be fine then," Kurt said. He picked up Cassidy and walked them into her room. "Now show me where this spider was?"

Cassidy pointed over to the small table she had in there.

Kurt set her down, "Over here?" he pointed and walked closer to where Cassidy had told him. "Are you sure?"

"Yes," Cassidy said crossing her arms over her chest, "I know a spider when I see one."

"Okay," Kurt smiled as he looked, "Sissy, I really don't see anything." He picked up a few of the stuffed animals and his phone started to ring. "I'll be right back," he said walking out of the room.

"No don't leave me in there with it," Cassidy grabbed his leg.

Kurt limped over with the weight of Cassidy on one of his legs, and he grabbed his phone, "Hi honey."

"That doesn't sound good," Blaine said through the phone.

"Your sister found a spider in her room and now is freaking out about it," Kurt said to him.

"I am not freaking out," Cassidy said to him.

Kurt looked down at her, "Excuse me. She informs me she is not freaking out."

"She's wrapped around your leg isn't she?" Blaine asked him.

"Indeed," Kurt sighed, "Sorry, you called. What's going on?"

"I was wondering if you could run out and buy something for us tonight," Blaine said.

Kurt was confused, "Us as in?"

"For the kids and I," Blaine said, "See, the power went down because of the freak storm that happened a few hours ago and they said the power won't get back on until tomorrow. And they really don't want to reschedule."

"Blaine I thought the show starts in ten minutes?" Kurt looked over at the clock in there room.

"It does," Blaine said.

Kurt knew he was giving him that look, the one where he wants something. He had seen it one to many times. "Are you saying you want me and Cassidy to come out, bring the entire candle collection we have, buy some candles in any stores we pass, and come to the theatre where you are."

"Yes," Blaine said and adding on a few extra s's.

Kurt sighed, "Cassidy go through the living room and gather all of the candles we have."

"Why?" Cassidy asked him.

"I'll explain later," Kurt told her, "Now you mister owe me a lot for this."

"Oh I'll figure out something," Blaine let out a laugh.

Kurt and Cassidy gathered all of the candles in the house and then they started to walk towards the theatre Blaine would be at, stopping along the way buying any candles they could find.

The doors were opened and they walked in, "We bring light!" Cassidy said letting out a giggle.

Blaine walked over to them, "Thank you so much," he took some of the bags, "This way, we are handing them out to the kids to hold if they are big enough."

They followed Blaine into the back and the kids all had their outfits on. The room was lit up by cell phone lights.

"My lovely fiance came through for us," Blaine said as they walked in.

Mrs. Andrews ran over and kissed Kurt and Cassidy on the cheeks, "You two are wonderful. We had parents come in as well."

"We bought some matches too," Kurt said holding up two large boxes of matches.

"Let's get these lit and have our show," Mrs. Andrews clapped her hands.

Some of the parents volunteered and lit the candles. They placed them on some of the ledges in the audience. There were parents smiling at them and thanking them for making sure the show went on.

Mrs. Andrews walked to center stage, "Good evening everyone." Everyone in the audience started clapping.

Kurt and Cassidy were sitting in one of the front rows smiling up at her.

"First off, what a night it has been," Mrs. Andrews laughed, "But even with a black out, nothing can stop us. I would like to thank everyone who brought in our candles. They are seated in the front row and are now officially our guests of honor."

The audience started clapping once again.

"So if you will do us all a favor and put away your phones and turn your ringers off, just enjoy the magic of the season," Mrs. Andrews said to all of them.

And just like that, everyone in the audience put away their cell phones and other electronic devices they may have been holding, and the students started to file onto the stage. Each of them was holding a candle.

Blaine walked out in back of them and sat down at the piano which had candles placed around it carefully.

Mrs. Andrews smiled and nodded over at him as he started to play. The students began to sing and watched their teacher.

La La La La La La

La La La La La

La La La La La

One half the students started to sing.

I'm wishing on a star

And trying to believe

That even though it's far

He'll find me Christmas Eve

I guess that Santa's busy

Cause he's never come around

I think of him

When Christmas comes to town

The other half of the students started to sing the next verse.

The best time of the year

When everyone comes home

With all this Christmas cheer

It's hard to be alone

Putting up the Christmas tree

With friends who come around

It's so much fun

When Christmas comes to town

Presents for the children

Wrapped in red and green

The students who sang first started to sing the next lines.

All the things I've heard about

But never really seen

All of the students voices joined together.

No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve

Hoping Santa's on his way

Some of the students rang bells they were holding along with Blaine's piano playing. The students began singing once again, taking their turns with each line.

Presents for the children

Wrapped in red and green

All the things I've heard about

But never really seen

All of the student's voices joined together.

No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve

Hoping Santa's on his way

Different students each take turns singing each line until they sing the final line all together.

When Santa's sleigh bells ring

I listen all around

The herald angels sing

I never hear a sound

And all the dreams of children

Once lost will all be found

That's all I want when Christmas comes to town

That's all I want when Christmas comes to town

Blaine played the last notes and he looked over at Cassidy and Kurt. The both of them were clapping and standing up.

Kurt reached up and wiped the tear away from his eye. Cassidy pulled on his shirt, "What is it honey?"

"Still the best Christmas ever," Cassidy smiled up at him.
