Huh... This is what Chapter Four looks like... Okay then.

The time has finally come! Kurt's going to the ball. Will he meet "the one" there? To find out, you'll have to read Chapter Four of Regained Hope. So here it is.

Disclaimer: I do not own Glee, Cinderella, or the song, "Defying Gravity."

FRIDAY NIGHT- WITH BLAINE (Oh ya, I'm making you wait longer)

It's finally here. The Ball. Blaine wasn't ready, he decided, as he looked into the mirror to see his reflection.

He was wearing black dress pants, a plain, white undershirt, a dark blue jacket over it, a black and dark blue striped bow tie, and neatly polished, black shoes. His hair was also gelled back (Author's Note: Did you expect anything else?)

Blaine knew that he looked very handsome. Hell, from what people are always telling him, he always looks handsome. So that wasn't why he was nervous. Blaine was nervous because someone he meets here is going to be the person he spends the rest of his life with. Pressure much?

At least he'd get to see David, Jeff, Nick, and Wes.

"Please everyone listen up!" called Amy, our best maid, who my parents chose to have do all the announcing tonight.

As everyone quieted down, Amy spoke again, "I believe everyone knows why we're here tonight. To look for the perfect match for Blaine Anderson! However, before we start, we should probably introduce they Anderson's. Please welcome Julia Anderson!"

Blaine's mom, Julia, walked through the door behind Amy. It was a tradition of the Anderson's to not show each other your outfits before a Ball. This was Blaine's first look at his mom since lunch and he had to say, she looked beautiful.

Julia was wearing a long dress. The first layer of the dress was black. The dress had a split that went up to her waist. Under that, was the bottom of the dress that was white and had ruffles at the bottom. On her left shoulder, where the sleeve ended, was a white flower. She wore black high heels.

"Please welcome Andrew Anderson!" Amy shouted.

Blaine's dad, Andrew, wore a simple black suit and white undershirt, black tie, and neatly polished black shoes.

"And last, but not least, is Blaine Anderson!" Amy shouted, again.

'Deep breaths, Blaine,' Blaine thought to himself as entered the room.

SAME NIGHT-WITH KURT

Kurt had changed out of the clothes he had been wearing earlier to this suit. It was a lovely suit.

He was wearing a silver jacket with a white undershirt, silver dress pants, a black tie, black shoes, and a mask that had silver lining and the rest was black.

Kurt didn't want to wear a mask. He wanted to proudly show his face, but if he did, he risked exposing himself to his step-family...and that wouldn't be pretty.

All this stuff had been his dad's when he was a teenager. All this fit him perfectly...except the shoes. Kurt was like his mum, he had small feet. His dad had big feet, even as a teen. The shoes fit, but were a little loose, so as long as he didn't run, he'd be fine.

Kurt knew he'd be a little late because his step-family left so they would arrive in time. Kurt however had to leave after his step-family, so he'd be a little late. He probably only missed the introductions anyway.

He grabbed his invitation, shut off all the lights, locked the backdoor, locked the windows, grabbed his car keys, and locked the door as he left.

Carole was a very paranoid being.

'I can't believe I'm doing this...' Kurt thought.

SAME NIGHT-WITH BLAINE

After introductions were over, Blaine was allowed to spend sometime with his friends before...before he had to meet all those lovely men.

He walked over to his group of friends. Once again, he had to say they all looked pretty good.

Wes had come with his girlfriend, Anna. Wes was, like his dad, wearing a simple black suit. Anna, however, was wearing a short, sky-coloured blue dress. On her waist a dark, blue flower and on her chest were sparkles.

David had come with his girlfriend, Alina. David was, like Wes and dad, wearing a simple black suit. Do these guys have no sense? Alina was wearing a long, sky-coloured blue dress. On her waist was a black ribbon, designed like a belt, with a flower made of fake pearls on it. She wore long, black gloves and a white necklace.

Jeff and Nick were boyfriends, so they came together, They were wearing matching suits, only different colours. Nick's was red and Jeff's was blue.

"Really guys? Superman colours?" Blaine said, laughing.

"Superman is an awesome superhero, Blaine!" Jeff said, grinning at him.

"It's okay Jeff. Blaine knows nothing about superheros," Nick said, "Superheros are too cool for him."

Everyone laughed at that.

"So Blaine, you nervous?" Wes asked him.

"A bit," Blaine admitted, "It's a little unnerving knowing that someone I meet here tonight will be the person I spend the rest of my life with."

The others smiled sadly at him. None of them wanted to be in his shoes.

Blaine turned around when he felt a tap on his shoulder. It was his mom.

"It's time to go meet them," she whispered in his ear. Blaine nodded.

"I'll talk to you guys later?" Blaine asked his friends. They all nodded.

Blaine walked away with his mom, feeling himself starting to sweat.

SAME NIGHT- WITH KURT

'I can't believe I'm actually here,' Kurt thought, as he slammed his car door shut.

The Anderson's house was huge! Like huge, HUGE! As he walked up the path to the house he heard a voice say,

"What are you doing here?"

Kurt turned towards the voice and saw a tall man, 'Must be a guard,' he thought.

"I'm trying to find the entrance," Kurt replied, politely.

The man narrowed his eyes at him. "Why are you late?"

"I got lost on my way here," Kurt said.

"May I see your invitation?" The man questioned.

Kurt took his invitation out of his pocket at gave it to the man. He scanned it, then handed it back to Kurt.

"It's just up ahead."

"Thank you," Kurt replied, grateful.

Kurt reached the door, took a deep breath, and walked through the opening into the ball room, where everyone was standing. No one noticed his entrance and Kurt sighed in relief.

'Time to mingle,' Kurt thought. 'Maybe I'll even meet Blaine.'

And with that, Kurt smiled and walked through the crowd.

SAME NIGHT- WITH BLAINE

Blaine inwardly yawned in boredom at how fun this was. Meeting boy after boy. None of them seemed like the right one. He was sticking to the list he had made the other day, after all.

"Blaine Anderson, meet Miles Monroe, son of Hunter Monroe and Alice Monroe," Amy said, smiling at him.

Blaine smiled politely Miles. Miles didn't even look at him. Blaine understood him. He didn't want to be here either. Amy frowned at their lack of progress.

"Blaine Anderson, meet Finn Hudson-Hummel and Sam Hudson-Hummel, sons of Carole Hudson-Hummel and Christopher Hudson," Amy said, not smiling this time.

Blaine smiled at the two, while they stuck their hands to shake. He reluctantly shook their hands. He didn't like the look in their eyes. Power hungry, is what it looked like. He looked behind them to see their mother. Blaine coughed to hide his laughter.

She was wearing a hideous dress. She wore a ruffled light pink and dark orange dress with a light orange jacket. Her hair wasn't the nicest thing either.

These weren't the right people for him or his family.

Half an hour later, the list of all the people who wanted to meet him was done and none of them seemed right for him.

Blaine had given up on that and was just wandering around the ball room now. As he was walking past a large window he heard the most beautiful voice singing softly,

It's time to try defying gravity

I think I'll try defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye,

I'm defying gravity

And you won't bring me down,

no

Blaine turned and saw there was a boy sitting in front of the large window on the ledge. This person was gorgeous, and he wasn't even looking a his face. He was wearing a silver suit 'STYLE!' and had brown hair.

"Excuse me?" Blaine asked, needing to see if this boy had glasz eyes and if he was taller than him.

The boy jumped, stood up, turned around, and walked closer to him.

Blaine was disappointed to see that this boy was wearing a black and silver mask, but if he looked close, Blaine could see that this boy had glasz eyes AND he was taller than him.

"Yes?" The boy asked. "Can I help you?"

Blaine smiled. "Nope. I heard you singing and I thought you sounded lovely."

SAME NIGHT- WITH KURT

Kurt flushed darkly as he received a compliment from this handsome boy about his age. Kurt hoped the boy hadn't noticed him blushing, but from the look on his face, he noticed, even with the mask.

Kurt had been sitting here so he could keep an eye on his step-family. If they left before him, it was most likely they would get home before him and notice he was missing.

"Thanks," Kurt replied, sincerely. "What's your name?" he asked and hoped that this boy wouldn't ask him his name.

The boy smiled and replied, "Blaine Anderson," He extended his to to shake.

Kurt's eyes widened, but Blaine didn't notice-thank the mask-and kept his hand extended. Kurt shook Blaine's hand.

"It's wonderful to meet you, Blaine," Kurt smiled.

"You too. Wait... What's your name?" Blaine asked.

Kurt deflated. Of course he'd ask. Then he said, "You can call me Mystery. I'll tell you my real name before I leave. Deal?"

Blaine smiled. "Deal."

"So Blaine, if you don't mind want to tell me a bit about yourself?" Kurt asked.

"Sure," Blaine replied. "Well, I was born in Westerville, Ohio and when I was 9, I started traveling all over America. My best friends' names are Nick, Jeff, David, and Wes. I like to sing, play guitar and piano and... I don't know what else to say."

Kurt laughed. "You grew up in Westerville? I'm in Lima."

"Really?" Blaine asked. Kurt nodded.

"I also love to sing."

"Maybe in the future, we could get together and sing a duet?" Blaine asked shyly.

Kurt's eyes widened again. Blaine still didn't notice. Blaine had just asked to get together in the future to hang out! But then his family would know...

"Possibly," Kurt smiled, mysteriously.

"So Mystery, tell me about yourself?" Blaine asked

"I was born in Lima, Ohio. My mom died when I was best friends' names are Tina, Artie, and Mercedes. My dad re-married, so now I have a step-mom and two step-brothers. Then, in my Junior year of high school my dad had a heart attack and died. So now I live with my step-family," Kurt finished.

Blaine looked really sad after hearing that. "Are you happy?"

"Yes. I love my step-family," Kurt replied, reluctantly.

Just then, a song called "We've got Tonight" started playing. Blaine stood up and held his hand to Kurt and asked, "Wanna dance?"

Kurt shyly said yes and took his hand. They walked to the side of the room where not many people were. Kurt had never done this before. He had no idea how this worked. Luckily, Blaine did. He grabbed Kurt's waist and pulled him close.

"Put your arms over my shoulders," Blaine whispered into his ear. Kurt shivered at Blaine's voice and did what he was told. They were so close together that a fly couldn't squeeze through them. Kurt was immensely glad no one was really near them.

Blaine smelt delicious. He smelt like coffee, spice, and something that could only be described as...Blaine really.

When the song was over, they pulled away and Kurt was shocked to see how flushed Blaine was. Judging by Blaine's smirk, he was no better. Blaine asked him if he wanted to see his family's living room. Kurt said sure.

As they walked down the hall, Blaine grabbed Kurt's hand with his own. They were now holding hands. Kurt looked at Blaine questioningly and Blaine just smirked. They walked to a room that had both doors closed.

Blaine pushed them open and Kurt gasped. The room was beautiful. (Author's Note: Just imagine the room where Kurt and Blaine sang "Baby, It's Cold Outside" without all the Christmas stuff) Blaine led Kurt to one of the couches and they sat down.

"Mystery, can I tell you something?" Blaine asked.

Kurt smiled. "Go ahead."

"Even though we've only known each other for a few hours, I still feel really strongly about you," Blaine said, nervous about Kurt's reaction.

Kurt smiled. "I thought I was the only one who felt like that."

Blaine's eye's turned soft as he looked into Kurt's eye's. Blaine's eye's closed and he leaned closer to Kurt. Kurt started to lean in too, until he caught sight of the clock on the wall. It read, 12:00a.m. Kurt quickly leaned away.

"It's midnight," Kurt stated.

Blaine looked at the clock and then back to him. "It would seem so. Is something wrong?"

"I'm late... I need to go. Now!" Kurt said, nervously standing up and running to the door.

"Wait, come back!" Blaine shouted.

Kurt ran all the way back to the ball room. As he entered the room, he stopped running so he could scan the room. He couldn't see his step-family.

"Please come back!" He heard Blaine shout from behind him.

Kurt had to leave. Now.

Everyone had turned to Kurt, wondering why Blaine Anderson was asking him to come back.

"You never told me you're name! How will I find you?" he heard Blaine shout from somewhere behind him

Kurt ran past everyone who was trying to get him to stop running. He ran out the front door to the Anderson's house. He only had to go down those steps, get to his car, then drive off.

Kurt had been running so fast down the steps, that he didn't notice that his left foot was cold until he reached the bottom. Kurt stopped running and looked down. His shoe was gone. He looked up the stairs to see his shoe on the third step and the guard from earlier was now following him. He wondered what happened to Blaine.

'No time to think about it now,' Kurt thought to himself as he ran to his car.

SAME NIGHT- WITH BLAINE

"It's midnight," Mystery had stated.

Blaine looked to the clock and back to him. He thought it was weird to worry about it being midnight, but Mystery looked really worried.

"It would seem so. Is something wrong?" Blaine had asked worriedly. He hadn't been lying when he told Mystery how much he cared about him.

"I'm late... I need to go. Now!" Mystery had said, sounding even more anxious than before. Before Blaine had any time to react, Mystery was out the living room door.

"Wait, come back!" Blaine had shouted after him. It was no use. Mystery kept running.

Blaine got up and ran after him. He wouldn't lose this person. This Mysterious person had managed to captivate him.

"Please come back!" He yelled out to Mystery.

Just as Blaine had thought he had caught up with Mystery, he started running again. Blaine sighed. Then he gasped in horror. He didn't even know his real name!

"You never told me you're name! How will I find you?" he called desperately to Mystery, but he was ignored. Just as he was about to start running again, he was surrounded by a bunch of people with questions.

"Robert?" Blaine called through the noise onto his walkie-talkie.

"Yeah?" He heard Robert call back.

"You're watching the grounds. Follow that boy running outside!" He said.

"You got it, Anderson Junior!" was Robert's reply.

Ten minutes later, all the people questioning him had calmed down, but Robert still wasn't back. Just as he was giving up hope, he saw Robert. He immediately ran over to him.

"What happened? Did you get him? Why are you holding a shoe?" He ranted.

Robert laughed. "Sorry Junior. I didn't catch him, but it seems he forgot this," Robert held out Mystery's shoe.

Blaine took the shoe with widened eyes. Mystery had left his shoe behind? It must have been an accident.

Blaine refused to let this boy escape. He cared to much about him, and he knew Mystery felt the same, he was just scared. He would find this boy. Even if it took him the rest of his life. Him and Mystery had talked a lot about each other. He knew Mystery. On Saturday morning, the search for Mystery will begin. He will find this boy who has him captivated.

I think this is the longest thing I've ever written. That's really all I can say about this Chapter.

Oh! I almost forgot. The next chapter will be the last one!
