"Alright," Kurt said pushing up his shirt sleeves, "We need to give this place a massive cleaning if my parents and Finn are coming for there visit tomorrow."
Santana looked over at Blaine, who also had his game face on. She leaned down towards Cassidy, "Do they always get like this?"
Cassidy rolled her own sleeves up, "Get like what?" she asked her.
Santana just shook her head and sat down on the couch.
"Oh no you don't," Kurt said pulling her arm so she stands up, "If you are staying here, you get to help clean too."
Blaine smiled over at her, "You chose the perfect day to stay home."
Santana rolled her eyes, "Fine, what do you need me to do?"
"Great," Kurt said, "I have a game plan. Blaine will tackle the vacuuming."
"Yes sir," Blaine said saluting him.
Kurt looked over at him, "Cassidy clean your room because I know you may have cleaned some of it after Jeremy left yesterday but it's probably still dirty."
Cassidy nodded, "You got it dude."
"I will handle the bathroom," Kurt said, "And Santana I need you to clean the kitchen, which means cleaning out the fridge and cleaning any surface you see, including counters and kitchen appliances.
Santana's eyes widened, "The entire kitchen?"
"We will come help when we are done," Blaine explained to her, "We just start with our own tasks."
"Fine," Santana said, "Glad I didn't dress for a fancy occasion."
The group set to work and began cleaning. Cassidy finished fast and helped Santana with the kitchen. She was scrubbing the counter and looked over at Santana who was scrubbing the stove, "What did you ask Santa for Christmas?"
Santana looked up at her and saw Blaine was half listening as he was straightening some of the pictures. "I guess I forgot to ask something from Santa this year."
"Really?" Cassidy asked her, "You know there is still time if you want to ask him for something. Blaine told me that since Santa is in your heart, you can believe if you want too. And I think I do."
"That's good," Santana said to her.
Cassidy looked over at her confused, "You don't believe in Santa do you?"
"Well kid, he didn't always make it to my house when I was little," Santana said as she started to scrub harder.
Cassidy jumped off the stool and walked over to her, "What's something you asked for from Santa when you were little."
Santana sighed, "I once asked Santa for this silly toy and I never got it. I guess that's when I just stopped believing."
"I'm sorry that happened," Cassidy said, "I know how special a toy can be, what was it?"
"It was one of those Lite Brites," Santana told her, "You know with the little pegs and the light bulb inside."
"Oh, I think I know what that is," Cassidy said excitedly, "Blaine used to have one. There are pictures of him playing with one."
"Yeah, well, I wanted that," Santana shrugged, "I doubt they make them anymore though."
"You could ask for one from Santa this year," Cassidy said, "You never know what will happen."
Santana let out a laugh, "Sure kid, I'll Santa for a Lite Brite."
Cassidy shrugged and went back to cleaning the counter. Kurt walked out wearing a pair of gloves on his hands, "Blaine I thought I told you to not keep your gel on my shelf."
Blaine turned around and acted as if he hadn't heard any of the conversation between his sister and Santana. "Sorry honey," Blaine said, "I guess I was in a rush this morning. I had to run out and buy the coffee since I didn't know we were out."
"It's fine," Kurt sighed walking into the kitchen and taking off the gloves setting them in the sink. "How is it going in here girls?"
"Great," Cassidy smiled at him, "I think we are almost ready for inspection."
"Inspection?" Santana asked, "Maybe I should have just stayed with Berry."
"Then maybe you could have found out about this boy she is seeing," Kurt said crossing his arms over his chest.
Santana shrugged her shoulders, "She is sneaking around with the guy, what's the big deal?"
Cassidy scrunched her face, "Rachel is sneaking around with a guy, why would she do that?"
"Hey Sissy," Blaine said, "I got an idea, how about you vacuum your room now. I know that you mentioned that spider a few days ago."
"Fine," Cassidy groaned, "I know this is only to get rid of me."
Blaine kissed the top of her head, "Love you to little sister."
Cassidy waved her arm as she grabbed the vacuum and started to walk down the hall to her room.
"Really? She lives with you two and you send her to her room?" Santana asked him.
"She's only ten years old," Blaine told Santana, "And while she does act very mature for her age, I would appreciate the whole innocent thing to last just a little bit longer."
"Fair enough I suppose," Santana shrugged her shoulders, "So do we pass this inspection?"
Kurt looked around the kitchen, "I would have to leave a positive review. Very nice job."
"Why thank you Mr. Hummel," Santana rolled her eyes, "Does this mean I can relax now?"
"No," Kurt shook his head, "We have things to make now."
"I just cleaned the kitchen though," Santana said.
Blaine laughed, "Oh Santana you have no idea how crazy this guy will get during the holidays. By the way, this whole guy with Rachel thing is driving him nuts."
Kurt groaned, "But she is our best friend, why won't she tell me who it is?"
"She's a girl," Santana said, "Let her have her secrets."
"Not fair," Kurt sighed.
"Anyways," Blaine said, "I think I thought of some awesome ideas we can do while your parents and Finn are here."
"Okay shoot," Kurt said pulling out some ingredients from the refrigerator.
Blaine pulled his phone out his pocket and opened the list, "We should definitely visit the Rockefeller Center Plaza tree."
"Oh yes," Kurt nodded his head, "Finn always wanted to see that."
"What about the Macy's Santa Land?" Blaine asked him.
Santana shook her head, "Isn't that place incredibly busy all the time during the holidays?"
"Sometimes," Blaine shrugged.
Kurt stared at him, "It's busy, but if they want to go we will."
"What about taking them to that show with the girls that are always kicking their legs up," Santana said trying to remember.
"The Rockettes?" Blaine asked with a smile.
"Yes them," Santana waved a hand, "Then you won't have to listen to them talk."
Kurt laughed, "Oh sweetie. You have so much to learn."
Blaine leaned over, "And I can bet you twenty bucks I know the man that will teach you," he grinned. Santana just rolled her eyes at them again.
