"I've never seen him work so hard to put an outfit together before, usually he just sort of grabs whatever he can get his hands on first and heads out."

"Maybe today's special." Blaine said.

"Maybe, I wonder what today could be."

"Me too."

"It must be important, he forgot to fill our food bowls."

"Wow... more important than food?"

"I can't imagine what's more important than feeding me." He glanced at Blaine. "Uh, us."

"It must be really big! I want to know what it is!"

"Me too, but if it's that important, I'm sure I'll be told about it, he tells me everything."

"There you are. You two be on your best behavior. Somebody very special is coming over today. Her name is Carole." The doorbell rang and Burt smiled. "That's her now."

Kurt and Blaine watched as Burt rushed to the door, opening it quickly and greeting a woman. With her she had a rather large dog on a leash, and Blaine raced under Burt's bed.

"Hey, Blaine... where are you going? Come back!" Kurt called, chasing after him.

Kurt stuck his head under the bed. "What are you doing under here?"

"Hiding."

"Why?"

"That lady has a big dog."

"So?"

"So, big dogs usually pick on me. They're not very nice."

"You mean they bully you?"

"Yeah, I use to get bullied a lot by big dogs."

"I'm sorry."

"What if he's mean like the big dogs in the neighborhood I use to play in?"

"You use to live outside another neighborhood?"

"Yeah, but I left and came here because the bullying got so bad."

"Well, maybe he'll be a nice dog."

"Maybe..."

"We'll never know unless we go over there and say hi."

"But what do we do if he does turn out to be mean?"

"Don't worry, Burt will help us. Once he sees that big dog picking on us he'll never let him over here again, he'll protect us, I promise."

"Okay..." Blaine said, glancing next to Kurt when he saw a large nose poke under the bed.

"Hi, cat, what'cha doing under there?"

"It's Kurt, and I'm talking to Blaine."

"Who's Blaine?"

"I'm Blaine."

"Hi, Blaine! I'm Finn."

"Hi, Finn... are you nice?"

"Me? Oh yeah, I'm a really good dog."

Blaine poked his head out of the bed so he could get a better look at the larger dog.

"What do you like to do for fun?"

"All kinds of things! Like run around, and chase my tail, and play."

"I like those things too! My new owner just bought me a lot of toys, do you want to play with them?"

"Sure!" Finn said, Blaine raced out from under the bed, running over to his pile of toys, Finn following after.

"Come on, Kurt!" Blaine said after skidding to a stop and turning back to look at his friend.

"You go ahead, I'll catch up."

"Okay!"

Kurt made his way over to Burt, who was now sitting on the couch next to the stranger who was obviously Finn's owner, curious to find out who this woman was.

"Hey there, Kurt." Burt said, picking up the kitten. "Kurt, this is Carole... what do you think of her?"

Kurt looked her over a moment before crawling over to where she was.

"Hi, Kurt, it's nice to meet you. You certainly are a beautiful cat, aren't you?" She said as she scratched under his chin. Kurt purred and cuddled up to her.

He was going to like this woman.

"Hey, Finn... who's that lady?"

"That's my human, Carole." Finn replied as Blaine chewed on one of his toys.

"Kurt must like her. Look at him."

"Wow, they're all cuddled up, next to that dude."

"That's not a dude, that's my human, Burt. Well... actually he's Kurt's human, but Kurt's sharing him with me so I can live here in this house!"

"Is he nice?"

"Oh yeah, he bought me all kinds of treats and let me play in a bath!"

"I don't like baths..."

"Is Carole nice?"

"Yeah! She's really nice, we go to the park to play all the time."

"The park? You get to go to the park?"

"Oh, I go to the park almost every day."

"Wow, I've never really gotten to play in a park before."

"I'll take you one day, maybe next time I go with Carole you can come too!"

"Wow! That sounds like fun! Thanks, Finn! Kurt'll love it!"

"Oh, I don't know about Kurt coming."

"Why not?"

"It's not that I don't want him to... it's just that I've never really seen cat's take their humans to the park before. I think it's more of a dog thing."

"Oh."

"But if he's into that kind of thing, he's more than welcome!"

"Sounds cool!"

Blaine raced over to the couch, hopping up and down.

"Kurt! Kurt! Hey, Kurt! Kurt! Hey!"

Kurt glanced over from his comfy spot on the couch, slightly annoyed that Blaine was interrupting Carole petting him but Blaine looked so adorable hopping around the floor like that just to be tall enough to see Kurt, even if he could only see him for a second, that he couldn't possibly be mad.

"Yes, Blaine?"

"Finn invited me to the park!"

"Sounds like fun."

"Do you want to come?"

Before Kurt could answer, Finn hopped up onto the couch, sitting between Carole and Burt.

"Woah, how'd you jump up so easily?"

"I don't know, I just... did it."

"I want to try!" Blaine said, attempting to hop up onto the couch but failing miserably.

"You want to sit up here with us, Blaine?" Burt asked before picking up the puppy. The dog raced over Finn and practically climbed on top of Kurt to get in Carole's lap, wagging his tail excitedly.

"Well, hello to you too." Carole said laughing, petting the small dogs head.

"What on Earth are you doing?" Kurt asked.

"I wanted to get a better look at her."

"And you thought standing on my head would be a good way to do this?"

"Oh, sorry." Blaine said, sliding off her lap and sitting next to Finn.

"Well, I think the three of them are getting along great." Carole said smiling.

"I'm glad, because they're going to see a lot of each other..." Burt replied, smiling back.
