He heard the door open and close, Carole coming inside with Finn and Blaine, taking their leashes off. Blaine raced over to Kurt and practically tackled him to the floor.

"Kurt! I missed you so much!" He said, licking Kurt's face.

"How was the dog park?"

"It was lots of fun! I met Finn's friends!"

"Good for you."

"Although... it really wasn't that much fun... because I missed you the whole time. I wish you could've come too."

Kurt smiled a bit. "I don't need to be around all the time for you to have fun, Blaine. It's okay for us to be away from one another every now and then."

"I know, I just miss you when you're gone."

"Technically, you were the one who was gone, you're the one who left the house."

"Oh... good point."

"Hey Carole, I finished putting in that dog door for Finn, did you guys have fun at the park?"

Kurt looked at Burt curiously. "Kurt, what's a dog door?" Blaine asked.

"Well, it's complicated because it's this door... for dogs... oh, I guess it wasn't that complicated..."

"Do I get a dog door too?" Blaine asked.

"Finn! Come here, boy!" Carole shouted, Finn racing in. "Say hello to your new dog door. Now you can go outside whenever you want."

They watched as Finn went outside to the backyard, returning moments later.

"I think the doors a little too big for Kurt or Blaine."

"Good, I don't think they should be going outside."

"I doubt Kurt will even want to."

"But Blaine is so tiny, and he grew up on the streets, I'd be afraid he'd run off and get lost if he was outside without a leash, it's better that he's too small to reach the door."

"True, he wasn't trained to use the dog door like Finn was... Finn always comes right back inside."

"I want to try the dog door like Finn!" Blaine said, running over to it. Kurt followed after him.

Blaine tilted his head as he looked at it. "How does it work?"

"Just push this thing here, and walk outside." Finn explained.

Blaine put his paws on the dog door, leaning all his weight onto it, but even when he managed to get it open, he could only manage sticking his head through the door, standing only on his back legs as his front ones pressed the door open.

"Why is it so high?"

"I reach it just fine." Finn stated.

Blaine finally pushed himself up, rolling out of the door. "I did it! I'm outside!"

"Hip hip hooray, now come back inside, it's getting cold out there." Kurt said.

"Okay!" Blaine said hopping through but his stomach ended up resting on the center of the bottom of the dog door, his head and front feet inside, and his tail and back feet outside.

"I'm stuck."

"Stuck? How can you be stuck in something that's ten times bigger than you?"

"My feet don't reach the ground."

"I got him." Finn said, nudging Blaine so he fell through the door and landed inside.

"That was awesome! Let's do that again!" Blaine said after flipping upside down as he rolled into the house.

"No, I don't think it's a good idea for you to use that dog door anymore. You're too little, when you hop through your feet don't reach the ground and you can't move... what if we weren't around when you tried that, and you got stuck?" Kurt stated.

"You'd be stuck forever." Finn pointed out.

Blaine sighed. "I guess you're right."

"Come on you guys, time for bed... we have a big day tomorrow, so you're going to need your rest." Carole said, Kurt, Blaine, and Finn following her to the bedroom.

Blaine whimpered as Burt, Carole, and Finn all cuddled up on the big bed, sleeping away. He wished he could sleep in the big bed.

"Don't worry Blaine, we'll figure out a way to get you up on the big bed one night."

"You can sleep up there with everyone else if you're more comfortable."

"No, I'll stay with you." Kurt stated. "Or maybe..." He hopped onto the bed and poked at Finn. "Finn, wake up, we need your help... Finn! Blaine needs help getting on the big bed! Ugh... you are so useless."

"I think we need Burt's help."

"I already tried, he just told me to stop meowing for treats and that he'd give me one in the morning. But we'll figure something out soon."

Kurt crawled into the dog bed next to Blaine, smiling a bit when Blaine cuddled up to him. "Don't worry, you'll get to sleep on the big bed someday. I promise. I'll come up with a plan."

"Thanks Kurt."

"Just as soon as I figure out what all those decorations are for, and why tomorrow is such a big day."

"I can help you! I'll be like your assistant in your investigation!"

"This coming from the dog who thought the hair dryer and the vacuum were monsters that liked eating puppies."

"Come on, I want to help!"

"Okay, fine... first thing tomorrow morning, our search begins... be ready."

"Yes sir!" Blaine said excitedly, suddenly he was really looking forward to tomorrow. Maybe because he'd get to spend even more time with Kurt than usual.
