Kurt sat in their usual booth awaiting Rachel's arrival for their weekly post modern dance coffee/tea date. Or, as he liked to call it Post-Apocalyptic Coffee. It had become a ritual for the two after the whole dance exhibition fiasco.

Kurt had been unsure at the time that Carolina would truly back off, so he put on his most threatening looking façade and started picking Rachel up from class every Friday. Coffee naturally evolved from there. Carolina seemed to have received the message loud and clear, so tonight he was waiting for Rachel in Perk Café. Anxiously.

Very anxiously.

It was going on 10 o'clock and Kurt was seriously debating whether or not to go looking for Rachel when she streaked into the café.

"I apologize for my lateness Kurt! I got caught up after class and just….well….I suppose I was just having a Berry Moment!"

Kurt chuckled. That was Puck's word for when Rachel totally spaced out and forgot there were other people in the world with cares and schedules of their own that didn't hinge on Rachel's. It was Puck's gentle way of reminding Rachel to not be selfish. So far, it was working better than anything else Kurt had tried.

"It's ok Rachel. So pray tell; what bright, shiny thing caught your eye tonight?"

Rachel smiled the biggest, brightest smile. "An audition notice!"

Kurt raised one eyebrow and leaned forward eagerly. "Annnddd?"

"Well, it is for another dance exhibition. It is for the Choreography 200 students. It is for them to get practice directing and choreographing. So they are holding auditions this weekend! What will I wear?! Oh Kurt….I am going to need your help! Tell me that you are free Sunday?"

"Hmmm. I think that can be arranged Twinkle Toes! Wait….who is able to audition?"

Rachel was stirring her now cold tea that Kurt had gotten for her when he arrived at Perk and looked over at the boy curiously. "What do you mean Kurt? Are you interested? Oh that would be wonderful sharing the boards together again! Maybe we could be cast in a piece together! I could see if you …."

Kurt placed his hand over Rachel's wildly gesturing arms. "No no Rach. I mean, thank you for thinking of me; but I was more thinking of who you could possibly be cast with. "

He sat there looking at her, hoping she would catch his drift.

Rachel blinked once, twice, and then swallowed hard.

"Crap."

Kurt patted her hand lightly. "I am not saying don't audition, I am just saying…..well…..be prepared. No one, and I mean NO ONE has shut up about the "Did You Tell Her" piece in the last two months. So, an ambitious student director may try to go there. Just saying…"

They shared a serious look with each other and said simultaneously:

"I need to call Quinn"

"I think you need to call Quinn."

Kurt and Rachel laughed conspiratorially before Kurt raised his coffee cup to clink gently with Rachel's.

"Great minds think alike Twinkle Toes!"
