Author's Notes: Hiya! First off, I know the Tigers didn't win, and they didn't win yesterday either, but tonight they will! And someone asked me if I lived in Michigan and indeed I do! Now onto the chapter, I loved writing this chapter, but it was hard. Oh wells, it's all good now and I loved how it turned out. Disclaimer: I don't own Glee or the characters. I don't own the song Alone In The Universe from Seussical the Musical (Just go with me on this one.)

"Do you and Kurt kiss on your dates?" Cassidy asked while Blaine was driving to Kurt's house to pick him up for their date. They discussed that even though Kurt decided where they went, it would be easier for Blaine to drop off Cassidy at his house.

Blaine laughed as he turned down a street, "Maybe, why are you so interested? Have a certain someone on your mind?"

"No," Cassidy said giggling, "Boys are icky. They think that worms taste good, when you shouldn't eat them they are nice."

"Well I guess that's a good thing," Blaine said a bit confused.

"It is," Cassidy nodded, "I know you don't want me to date until I'm old like you."

Blaine laughed, "Maybe a bit older."

"You're so silly," Cassidy laughed.

"I'm suppose to silly, remember I'm your older brother," Blaine said looking in the review mirror at his sister.

Cassidy just smiled at her brother, "I know."

The siblings drove the rest of way to Kurt's house singing along to the soundtrack that was playing over the speakers. Blaine knocked on the door as they waited for someone to answer it.

After Santana spit out her two cents about the two, Kurt went after Blaine. Catching him before he drove off and then promising that he would take Blaine out. And it would be romantic and he would even get Carole or Burt to watch Cassidy for the night. Blaine agreed and then said he would pay for at least half the date, which Kurt knew wouldn't happen if he had anything to do with it.

Kurt opened the door, "I'm sorry," he said as soon as the door opened.

"What's wrong?" Blaine asked as they walked into the house.

Kurt shut the door, "Carole isn't home and my dad is stuck at the shop for another hour or two."

"Oh," Blaine said sadly, "I guess we can still hang out."

"I can watch her," Finn said from his spot on the couch, he sat up, "I mean we sort of became best buds after awhile."

Kurt looked alarmed, "Um, Finn are you sure?"

"Yeah, it's not that I don't trust you," Blaine said scratching the back of his neck, "It's just..."

"I can handle it," Finn said.

Cassidy looked up at Blaine, "I'm going to stay with Finn tonight?"

Blaine kneeled down next to his sister, "Would you be alright staying with Finn for the night until Burt comes?"

Cassidy thought for a moment, "I think so."

Blaine looked over at Kurt who shrugged, "It's up to you I guess."

"Well I suppose it's alright, I mean they do get along," Blaine said, "Do you think you'll be okay?" he asked his sister.

"Yes," Cassidy nodded, "Finn and I are best buds," she smiled at her brother.

"I guess its okay then," Blaine shrugged, "I mean we have been planning this for a few days."

"Go," Cassidy started pushing her brother out, "Go out and kiss Kurt."

Kurt's face reddened, "What did you tell her?"

"Nothing," Blaine said with a shrug, "She asked me if we kiss when we go on dates and I told her maybe."

"Come on you," Kurt said as he grabbed Blaine's arm, "We are going now Finn. You have mine and Blaine's number if anything happens. Dad should be home in about an hour or so."

"Bye Cassidy," Blaine waved as Kurt dragged him out of the house. "Are you sure they are going to be alright?"

Kurt rolled his eyes, "In the car, let's go. We are going to drive far away before you get any ideas." He opened Blaine's driver side door, "Get in."

"Alright," Blaine stepped into the car, "But if Finn calls me in five minutes saying something happened this is over your head."

Kurt shut the door and climbed into the passenger side, "I give you permission to yell at me all you want," he shut his own door.

"As in a punishment," Blaine teased.

"Drive Anderson," Kurt said flatly to him, "We will discuss the rest of this conversation later," he winked over at him.

"Tease," Blaine said as he put his car into reverse and pulled out of the driveway.


Finn looked down at Cassidy who was still wearing her coat and backpack on her back. She looked up at him with a questionable look, he couldn't really tell what she wanted.

"Do you want to take a nap?" Finn finally asked.

Cassidy stared at him like he was crazy, "I don't take naps," she crossed her arms over her chest, "I'm seven, I don't need a nap."

"Right," Finn nodded, "So what do you want to do then?"

"I'm warm," Cassidy said wiggling while she was standing there.

"Oh, well let's get your coat off then," Finn said as he helped her take off her backpack and coat setting them on the couch.

They both stood there looking at one another awkwardly or awkwardly in Finn's eyes. "I want to watch TV now," Cassidy said walking past him and grabbing the remote changing the channel.

"Okay," Finn nodded, "But the game is about to start."

Cassidy looked over at him with one eyebrow raised, "I want to watch this."

Finn looked and saw Phineas and Ferb playing on the television, "That's great Cassidy, but I was really hoping to watch the game today. Puck and I have a bet going and I really need..."

Cassidy looked up at Finn, "But I haven't seen this one," she had her big eyes with tears forming.

Finn bit his bottom lip, "Okay, but you get the TV for an hour and then I'll get it next okay?"

"Okay," Cassidy nodded happily and sat back down on to the couch tucking her legs under herself.

Finn rolled his eyes as he sat down beside her and started watching the cartoon kids joke around.


Kurt pulled open the door, "After you."

"Thanks," Blaine smiled at him, "Do you really think Cassidy is alright with Finn watching her? I mean it's not that I don't trust Finn, but you know sometimes he can totally act like a kid himself."

Kurt rolled his eyes and pushed Blaine into the restaurant, "Blaine please, Finn is more then capable of taking care of your sister. I promise you that she is going to be fine. And if not I know she is more then capable of taking care of him."

Blaine laughed, "I suppose your right."

The hostess behind the podium looked over at them, "How many?"

"Two," Kurt smiled.

"Booth or table?" the hostess asked sounding bored.

Kurt looked over at Blaine who just shrugged, "Booth please."

"Great, follow me," the hostess said writing something down and then grabbed two menus. She started walking and Kurt started to follow with Blaine behind him. "Here we are," she set the menus on the table. "Your waitress should be with you shortly."

Blaine and Kurt scooted into opposite sides of the booth, "This is actually really nice," Blaine smiled at Kurt.

"I know," Kurt said excitedly as he opened the menu.

"Hello and welcome to Tasha's. My name is Eve, and I'm going to be your waitress for the evening. Could I get you started with a drink?"

Kurt and Blaine gave each other a glance and giggled at their bubbly waitress that was a drastic change from the hostess. "I would like water with a lemon please," Kurt said to her.

"Of course, and what about you?" she asked Blaine.

"The same is fine for now," Blaine said to her.

"Wonderful," Eve smiled at them, "I'll be right back with your drinks," she said as she walked away.

"Well she is quite the spirit," Blaine commented.

"That's definitely one way of putting it," Kurt smiled, "So what are you thinking of getting? Did you want an appetizer?"

"Nah, I'm okay," Blaine shook his head, "Unless you want one."

"I'm good I think. Do you know what you want then?" Kurt asked.

Blaine looked at the menu and then looked over at Kurt, "You know how some couples order for each other?"

"Oh god," Kurt laughed, "Isn't that the worst."

Blaine blushed and nodded his head, "Yeah, couldn't imagine that," he went back to staring at the menu trying to decide what he would eat.

Kurt noticed Blaine's attitude shift, "Unless you wanted to try something like that?"

"Huh?"

"Well maybe we could try it out," Kurt said.

Blaine looked at him quizzically, "But you just said-"

"I speak before I think," Kurt waved him off, "Now you pick out something I will like and I'll get something for you."

Blaine smiled at him, "Okay, but remember no tomatoes."

"Fair enough," Kurt nodded, "And while I love the grease, it doesn't do wonders for my skin."

"Deal," Blaine said as he started to look at the menu.


"Finn look what I colored," Cassidy held up her drawing.

"Wow," Finn smiled at her, "Is it a giraffe?"

Cassidy scrunched her nose, "No, it's a monkey, see the feet and the tail," she said pointing at her picture.

"Oh I see it now," Finn said looking at the picture still trying to see the monkey, "What about mine?"

"What is that?" Cassidy asked.

Finn looked down at the drawing, "It's a dog. Can't you see it?"

"No," Cassidy said as she started to giggle, "That's not what a dog looks like. I'll show you." She grabbed a crayon and started to draw on another piece of paper.

They were sitting on the floor drawing pictures for awhile, Finn finally got control of the remote so he could watch the game; although, he found it was more fun to sit and color with Cassidy. He realized how smart she was just by the conversations they were having.

"I'm hungry now," Cassidy was standing in front of Finn.

Finn looked over at the clock which read a little past six. "Oh, well let's see if we can find some food in the cupboards." He stood up off the floor and they walked into the kitchen. He opened the pantry door and found a box of macaroni and cheese.

"Macaroni and cheese!" Cassidy yelled excitedly.

"Well I think I can make it," Finn said scratching the back of his head.

"I'll help," Cassidy said taking a chair and dragging it over to the stove, "We need a pot of water."

"Okay," Finn smiled at her and took a pot out from one of cupboards, "This should be big enough," he turned the sink on to fill the pot. After he set it on the stove he turned towards Cassidy, "Now what?"

"Turn on the stove," Cassidy said pointing to the knob, "Blaine says I'm not allowed to touch them."

"Right," Finn nodded as he turned the knob towards high, "That should be good. Now what should we do?"

"We wait for the water to boil," Cassidy said looking at Finn, "Have you ever cooked before?"

"I made a grilled cheese with Jesus' face on," Finn said with a shrug.

Cassidy looked at Finn, "What are you talking about?"

"Never mind," Finn shook his head with a laugh.

Cassidy bounced up and down on the chair, "Do you think we can sing the cheese song while you mix it in?"

Finn gave Cassidy a look, "The cheese song?"

"Yep, its song Blainey always sings when he is mixing the macaroni and cheese together," Cassidy explained, "Or you don't know the song."

"I don't," Finn said with a shrug, "Blaine sings to you a lot?"

Cassidy nodded, "Yep, we sing all the time. He says it good practice for when I want to grow up and be a professional singer."

"I suppose so," Finn smiled at the small girl, "You want to become a singer?"

"If I can," Cassidy said, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

Finn froze as he was reading the macaroni and cheese box, "You know what Cassidy, I think I'm going to..."

"That's okay if you don't know yet, neither does Blaine," Cassidy sighed, "He always looks so sad about it when Katherine talks about college. Is college bad?"

"No," Finn shook his head, "College is the next place you go after high school."

"Oh," Cassidy said and then thought for a moment, "If Blaine goes to college does that mean I will have to live somewhere else?"

"Maybe," Finn shrugged, "I'm not sure though. He could start just going here, he has you to look after."

Cassidy scrunched her face in confusion. She may be young, but understanding that she was causing Blaine problems was something she knew for a while now. She wanted Blaine happy and he was always happy around Kurt.

"You thinking over there?" Finn asked as he looked into the pot, "He look the water is boiling," he smiled.

"We add the noodles," Cassidy said excitedly.

"Okay," Finn opened the box and carefully took out the cheese packet before he dumped the box of noodles into the water. "Now what?"

Cassidy looked at Finn and put a hand on her hips, "Haven't you ever made this before?"


Kurt laughed as Blaine told him a story about one of his teachers insisting that they knew the date when Pluto was discovered. His teacher argued with him; although, Blaine was just reading what was in the book.

"And then he finally looked in the book," Blaine laughed.

Kurt smiled, "I need to get into your classes sometimes, I can only imagine you are the kid that corrects everything the teacher does wrong."

"I do not," Blaine blushed; he knew he was in the more advance classes since Dalton had a tougher curriculum. He looked down at his lap.

"Hey," Kurt reached across the table to touch Blaine's arm, "I'm just teasing, I like that you're smart. I mean you are. One of us has to be. You are the smart one and I'm the pretty one."

Blaine smiled, "I think I have to agree with that."

The waitress walked over carrying their meals, "Here we are boys," she set down a plate in front of Kurt, "One blackened steak penne, with no tomatoes and one quesadilla burger," she set the other plate down in front of Blaine.

Blaine and Kurt giggled as she looked at them, "Need a refill on your drinks?"

"Sure," Blaine nodded.

"Great, I'll be back with those in just a moment," Eve grinned and walked away.

Blaine and Kurt smiled at each other as they switched plates, "I have to say Mr. Anderson you have an eye for fine dining."

Blaine smiled as he watched Kurt grab his fork and knife to start cutting his burger. He slipped his own napkin in his lap and picked up his fork. "And you as well Mr. Hummel."

They smiled at one another as Eve came back with their drinks, "Here you are," she set the drinks down and then looked down at the meals, "Did you switch meals?"

"Oh, yeah," Kurt nodded and grinned sheepishly.

Eve laughed, "You kids these days." She grabbed their empty glasses and walked away.

Kurt sort of laughed when she said 'kids,' he didn't think she looked that old herself. "Did she really just say kids these days?"

"I believe she did," Blaine laughed himself.


The phone rang and Finn ran over to pick it up, "Hello."

"Hey Finn, it's Burt," the voice said through the other end of the phone.

Finn scratched his head, "Oh hey, how it's going?"

"Good, just wondered if Blaine and Cassidy came by yet?" Burt asked him, " I know they wanted to go out tonight."

"Yeah, they already came and left awhile ago," Finn told him.

"Did Carole come home early?" Burt asked him.

"Nah, Mom is still working," Finn explained, "I'm watching Cassidy now. We made some macaroni and cheese for dinner. Now we're working on a song."

"Oh," Burt said surprised. "Are you two alright over there...by yourselves?"

"Yep," Finn laughed, "She is a cool kid."

"Well I'm glad to hear it," Burt said, "Well I was just calling to tell you I will be coming home in an hour."

"Great, see you then," Finn grinned.

"See you then," Burt repeated and then hung up the phone.

Finn hung up the phone on his end, "Hey Cassidy that was Burt."

"Really?" Cassidy asked smiling up at him, "Does this mean we can show him our song too?"

"Sure," Finn nodded, "That sounds like an awesome idea."

They practiced there song for another hour until Burt came home. It was a sound he used to hear often, but never thought he would hear again, a small voice singing along with another. He was used to being the other voice, but now apparently it's his kids.

Cassidy turned around and saw Burt, "Hi Burt!"

"Hi honey," Burt gave a wave, "What are the two of you up to this evening?"

"We're singing a song together," Cassidy said excitedly.

"I can see that," Burt said watching them, "Where is that song from?"

"It's a song from Seussical," Cassidy bounced around excitedly, "It's a musical about Dr. Seuss."

"Well isn't that interesting," Burt laughed, "I'm going to find some food for dinner. I'll let you go back to what you were doing."

"Okay," Cassidy said grabbing Finn's hand, "Let's go finish."

Finn grinned, "Alright."


Eve walked by looking at the boys, "Would you boys like dessert?"

Blaine and Kurt looked at each other, "Nah," Kurt shook his head, "We have some ice cream at home calling our names with a little girl I'm sure is excited to see her brother."

"Well I will go get your check for you then," Eve smiled starting to walk away.

"No need," Kurt said holding out a card, "Here, just put it on the card."

Eve took the card, "Yes sir."

"Not really the expression you would think we would get," Blaine watched as Eve finally walked away, "And you didn't have to do that."

"If I hadn't you would have made up some stupid excuse as to why you should pay for half the meal. And I asked you out, so I pay," Kurt said as he set his napkin on his plate.

Blaine laughed and shook his head, "Course. Now about this ice cream."

"You remember the part about the food," Kurt laughed out loud and he snorted. Quickly his hand went up to his mouth and he blushed.

"You are adorable," Blaine said just smiling and looking at Kurt.

"And here is your-oops," Eve looked between the two of them, "I just interrupted something didn't I? Anyways, here you are," she set down Kurt's card and the receipt. "Have a lovely night."

Blaine stood up, "Come on you," he held out his hand for Kurt.

Kurt smiled as he put his hand in Blaine's, "And this is why you are my boyfriend." He waited until they were in the car before kissing on him on the cheek, but he knew Blaine didn't mind.

The ride back to Kurt's house was quiet, but it was a relaxed silence. Blaine pulled into the driveway, "The house is still there," he teased.

Kurt playfully hit his arm, "You know I am brothers with that guy."

Blaine laughed, "I was just teasing. I can already tell Finn will probably make a great dad in time."

"Come on, let's see if that ice cream is still in the freezer," Kurt said opening his door and waiting for Blaine. They walked into the house, "The house is clean too." Blaine gave a shrug, "Hello?"

"Hey you two," Carole smiled at them.

"Hi Carole," Blaine waved, "Erm, it's a bit to quiet."

Burt entered the room and sat down in his chair, "They've been practicing in Finn's room."

"Practicing?" Kurt asked.

Cassidy peeked around the corner, "They're all here!" she shouted and ran back down the hall.

"I think the show is about to go on," Burt laughed from his spot on the chair.

Carole sat down on the arm on Burt's chair, while Kurt and Blaine sat down on the sofa. "What's going on?" Blaine asked Burt.

Burt gave a shrug, "The show is starting."

Cassidy and Finn walked out into the living room. Finn sat down on the ground holding a flower that was made out of construction paper. Cassidy sat down near him, but sat down looking bored. Then Finn started to sing.

I'm alone in the universe.

So alone in the universe.

I've found magic but they don't see it

They all call me a lunatic.

Ok, call me a lunatic.

If I stand on my own, so be it.

Finn was looking down at the paper flower intently. Blaine smiled as he knew what song they were performing.

'Cause I have wings.

Yes, I can fly

Around the moon

And far beyond the sky

And one day soon

I know there you'll be

One small voice in the universe

One true friend in the universe

Who believes in me...

The two started to suddenly singing together. Kurt and Blaine looked at them, they couldn't take there eyes off their siblings.

I'm alone in the universe.

So alone in the universe.

My own planets and stars

Are glowing.

Alone in the universe

No one notices anything.

Not one person is listening.

They don't have any way of knowing.

Nobody knows that

I have wings

I have wings.

Yes, I can fly

I can fly

Around the moon

And far

Beyond the sky

Beyond the sky

Well someday soon

You will hear my plea

Finn held the flower close to him.

One small voice in the universe

Cassidy looked up at the ceiling looking as if she was dreaming.

One true friend in the universe

They both finished the line together.

Please believe in me.

The two stood up and bowed while everyone clapped for them. "How was it Blainey?" Cassidy asked climbing into Blaine's lap.

"It was wonderful," Blaine kissed the top of her head, "You were good too Finn."

"Thanks man," Finn gave a nod, "We've been working on it since we finished dinner. Aren't you two home early?"

"Yeah," Kurt shrugged, "We thought it would be more fun here, and we were right," he said as he tapped Cassidy's nose.

Cassidy giggled and then whispered in Blaine's ear, "Did you kiss Kurt?"

Blaine smiled, "Not yet," he said whispering in Cassidy's ear. Cassidy quickly covered her eyes, "Why are you doing that?"

"So you can kiss Kurt," Cassidy said and then peeked through her hands, "Did you do it yet."

Kurt laughed, "Not yet."

"You two take forever," Cassidy groaned falling onto Kurt's lap as well.

Kurt and Blaine laughed together as Blaine reached over and started tickling Cassidy. Cassidy started giggling along with them.
