Blaine stood on the stage and strummed his guitar. He looked over and smiled at his fianc�. He still couldnt believe that Kurt said yes. He said yes to spend the rest of his life with him.

Kurt walked over and leaned on the stage, "Hey Mr. Rock Star, what are you thinking?"

"Does that mean youll be Mr. Rock Star?" Blaine teased.

Letting out a laugh, Kurt smiled, "Nope. Im keeping my name."

"Figures," Blaine said with a playful sigh, "Mr. Cute Butt it is."

Kurt looked over at watched Kyle and Maddie having a private conversation, "Whats going on with them?"

"Who knows?" Blaine shrugged, "Although maybe it has to do with the loud conversation they were having the other day."

"Maybe we should-"

"I wouldnt," Derby said appearing next to Kurt with his drum sticks in his hands, "I think it has to do with you two actually."

"What about us?" Kurt asked him.

Derby gave a shrug, "With those two it could be anything really."

"Oh, it just seems like more lately is all," Kurt said as he twirled his ring on his finger, it was becoming his nervous habit. He wanted to help, but Blaine and Derby always tell him they will figure it out on their own. He called Rachel about it, but she also told him to let them figure it out.

Suddenly, Kurts phone started to sing a Wicked tune and he picked it up, "Rachel!"

"I just wanted to call and let you know I got out early," Rachels voice said through the phone, "And Im already headed to the venue."

"Great," Kurt said, "See you in a few then."

"See you then," Rachel said.

Kurt hung up the phone and shoved it back in his pocket. He looked up at Blaine, "Your wonderful sister is on her way."

"Good to hear," Blaine said as he set his guitar down on a stand, and jumped off the stage. He wrapped his arms around Kurts waist from behind, "So I was thinking about...cats."

"What?" Kurt asked confused.

"I was thinking we are probably going to be away a bit more, and maybe Ralph will need a pal to make it through," Blaine said with a shrug and he put his head on Kurts shoulder.

Kurt let out a hum, "I think that actually sounds like a good idea."

"I always have bright ideas," Blaine said.

"Need I remind you of a certain song you claimed that would be a hit," Kurt teased.

Blaine turned Kurt around in his arms, "Okay, fine fine. Still I think we should try the adoption center first."

"Yeah," Kurt nodded, "I like that idea, maybe before we head out to L.A. next week."

Blaine smiled, "That sounds like a grand idea."

Kyle and Maddie walked out from backstage and climbed off the stage. They walked over to Kurt and Blaine. "This venue is huge!" Kyle commented.

Kurt wondered how they could go from arguing to talking about the venue in a matter of moments. When he and Blaine get in an argument everyone knows. Its sort of strange to him. He wanted to mention something, but knew he shouldnt.

Someone came running in, "Im here!"

"Rachel!" Derby ran over to her and picked her up spinning her.

"Put my baby sister down," Blaine said, "I need to see the star in the making." He gave Rachel a hug.

"How are rehearsals going?" Kurt asked as he gave her a hug.

"Oh you know, just amazing," Rachel said with a smile, "I am having so much fun." She hugged Maddie, "And now I am all yours for these...eight hours!"

"Only eight?" Blaine asked her with a whine.

"As a Broadway performer I am quite in-demand," Rachel teased.

Kurt shook his head, "You know you havent even opened yet."

"Oh," Rachel pulled an envelope from her bag, "Here are my twenty tickets for opening night! You five are receiving the first!"

"We are honored," Maddie said putting a hand on her heart.

Rachel dropped her bag onto the floor, "So I need to hear everything. Derby who are you dating? Are you singing any new songs tonight? Kurt please tell me you are keeping them on their toes. And Blaine you earn a smack on the back of the head for not telling me you were going to propose to my best friend." She hit her brother on the head.

"Stop it, its been almost three months since then" Blaine said, "And shouldnt you hit Kurt too."

"No, he told me the next day," Rachel said with a shrug.

Kurt gave a nod, "I did."

Blaine stuck his tongue out at her. "Really mature big brother," Rachel said to him.

"By the way, we do have a new song," Maddie said, "Its brilliant, Kurt helped with it."

"I did," Kurt nodded his head, "Not much, but just enough."

Blaine took Kurts hand in his own, "Now as for Derby dating anyone that is questionable."

"How is it questionable," Derby said, "I have been seeing Alicia now for two weeks."

"You arent even officially dating yet," Maddie said, "And that is what you told me last night when I asked if she was coming tonight."

Derby looked over at Kurt, "Help me out dude."

Kurt lifted an eyebrow, "Why? Im pretty sure Alicia told me that she really liked you, so why not make it official?"

"Wait, Alicia from your group?" Rachel asked Kurt, "You just like playing match maker dont you."

"While you and Todd didnt work," Kurt said, "You should see Alicia and Derby together. They are strangely right for one another."

Blaine walked over to the pair, "So did you tell Rachel the good news."

"What good news?" Rachel asked, "You have news? Whats going on?"

"Were getting a place in L.A.," Kurt said with a smile.

Rachels eyes widened, "Wait, youre moving to California?"

"No, we are just getting a place there," Kurt explained.

Blaine nodded, "Its sort of been a pain for Kurt and I to travel so much, so we thought why not get a place there."

"For right now," Kurt said quickly, "I mean we were just thinking a short lease so if we find out we dont need it in a year or two then its okay."

"You do realize the next step will be moving out there," Rachel said with a sad voice.

Kurt shook his head, "Nope. I wouldnt let us. Fashion Week is here in New York. Do you possibly think I would let that go?"

"No," Rachel said, "I just...things are changing and its weird."

Maddie, Kyle, and Derby appeared forming a small circle. "Sort of strange how we ended up here. Didnt really think this was going to be how things happened," Derby said.

Kyle laughed, "What like you meeting a girl you like and have things in common with?"

"Okay, enough about the girlfriend," Derby said with a groan.

"I thought you said she wasnt your girlfriend yet," Kurt teased.

Derby sighed, "Fine, we talked the other night and we decided to mutually see one another. Alright? Happy now oh fabulous one?"

"Fabulous one?" Rachel asked, "What have I missed?"

Blaine wrapped an arm around Rachel, "Trust me weve missed you just as much." He looked up and smiled over at Kurt.

The group hung out until it was time for the show to start. Kurt and Rachel stayed behind in the green room while the band went to get stage ready. Rachel smiled over at Kurt, "Okay, so wedding details."

Kurt let out a laugh and shrugged, "To be honest, we havent had time to plan too much."

"Kurt this is your wedding. You have planning weddings since you were a kid," Rachel exclaimed, "I mean I thought you two were going to be planning this like crazy."

"I know," Kurt said with a sigh, "But it has been so crazy lately, with my clothing line starting and then the band working on a new album. Its not the right time."

Rachel crossed her arms over her chest, "When is the right time then? Later on down the road, the band will need to tour again and youll need to work on advertising and starting your own clothing line. There isnt a right time."

Kurt looked over at his friend, "Where did this come from?"

"Ive just been thinking a lot the past few days," Rachel said with a sigh, "About Finn, my life, you guys, and how grateful I am to be where Im at."

Kurt gave her a small smile, "Rach, I think about those things every day too. I...I think youre also right."

Rachel gave a nod, "I know Im right. So what are you going to do about it?"

"Im not sure yet," Kurt said leaning back on the couch, "But I think just for tonight Im going to watch my fianc� sing and dance his heart out on stage. And I may have a surprise for him."

"Wait, what kind of surprise?" Rachel said standing up.

Kurt grinned, "You will have to wait and see."

The show started, Rachel and Kurt were on the side watching the band. They couldnt stand in the audience like they used too. Kurt sort of missed it, but he loved watching Blaine and his friends perform any way he could.

"Hello New York!" Blaine shouted, "Now we wrote a new song." He looked down at his guitar and looked over at Kyle who gave him a nod.

The crowd screamed in reply.

"This song we wrote because basically we arent kids anymore," Kyle said into the microphone, "It was sort of a joint effort and Im stalling because Blaine broke a string and needs a new guitar."

Maddie let out a laugh, "Now Blaine seems to break strings a lot, weve tried all different brands, but he just rocks too hard."

"Not talking about me are you?" Blaine asked as he walked back on the stage, "I just had to step off stage and my fianc� was there so I got distracted."

The crowd once again let out a yell.

"Now as I was saying before this song is called Welcome to the World and its about us, its about you, and about the world. Lets go!" Blaine jumped as Derby started a beat and he started to sing.

Where is the sun?
Its been so long, this headache, these sad songs
This heartaches been sewn on your skin
What is the price that youre after?
You look up for answers
But stars are just stars and thats it.

Blaine leaned forward on the microphone and smiled as he sang. Derby started to play on a snare drum.

Its all right now
Right now
You can see what you want, what you wanna be
You can be what you want, what you wanna be
Right now
Right now
You can see what you want, what you wanna be
You can be what you want, what you want…

Maddie, Kyle, and Derby started to sing along with Blaine.

Leave your sorrys, grab your car keys
Roll the windows down
Welcome to the world
Rollercoaster, cherry cola
Free-hand nowhere-bound

Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world

Looking to the side of the stage, Blaine smiled at Kurt and Rachel who were dancing with one another.

Welcome to the world that we live in
A perfect collision
Its beat down, its broken, its bright.
Welcome to happiness, sadness
To love and to madness
The delicate balance we wrought

Blaine jumped up and down as he sang towards audience.

Its all right now
Right now
You can see what you want, what you wanna be
You can be what you want, what you wanna be
Right now
Right now

You can see what you want, what you wanna be
You can be what you want, what you want…
Leave your sorrys, grab your car keys
Roll the windows down. (Welcome to the world)
Rollercoaster, cherry cola
Free-hand nowhere-bound
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world.

All of the instruments stopped except for Derby playing on the keyboard and Blaine singing.

Its on right now (Right now)
The stars are just stars and thats it
Its on right now
Right now
The stars are just stars and thats it
So, leave your sorrys, grab your car keys
Roll the windows down
Oh!

Everyone started to play again and sing.

Leave your sorrys, grab your car keys
Roll the windows down. (Welcome to the world)
Rollercoaster, cherry cola
Free-hand nowhere-bound
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world.

As the music played out, Blaine smiled into the audience, "Welcome to the world!" He gave a small bow.

Kyle looked over at Kurt and gave him a nod. "Alright everyone, now we would like to introduce to you a special guest."

Blaine gave him a puzzled look.

"Kurt Hummel has entered the building!" Kyle said into the microphone.

Kurt has handed a microphone and he walked out on the stage. He gave the audience a wave and then looked over at Blaine. "Hi."

"Hello," Blaine said and then leaned into Kurts ear, "What are you doing?"

Kurt smiled as he looked at Blaine, "Okay," he brought the microphone up so everyone can hear him, "No matter where we are or what we are doing, you are home for me Blaine. I love you and while it took you a bit freaking out before you said it too, I know you love me too. Which still freaks me out from time to time." He tried to gather his thoughts for a moment, "I sort of forgot all I wanted to say, but watching you on this stage still gives me chills every single time. And knowning that you thank me every night before we go to bed for everything Ive done, it doesnt escalate to the million and one things you have done for me."

Blaines hands were shaking now as he watched Kurt fall to the ground and get down on one knee.

"I know this may seem a bit silly," Kurt said as he took a small box out and opened it to reveal a ring, "Blaine Anderson will you marry me?"

Blaine was shocked and then nodded his head, "Yes. Holy shit, yes!"

Kurt smiled and jumped up as he took the ring out. He slid it onto Blaines hand and pulled him in for a kiss. The audience was screaming and most had their phones out recording the entire thing.

Derby started to pound his drums, "Hey, save it for the honeymoon!"

Pulling away, Kurt let out a laugh and turned to the audience, "Please send me a copy of that!"

After the show, Kurt and Blaine were laying in bed. Blaine was staring at his hand and twirling his ring, "It wasnt silly," he said to him before pressing their lips together in a kiss, "It was perfect."
