Can you believe it's Thanksgving in a week? Me either!
Enjoy :)
"I refuse!" Jenna shouted.
"Come on! It's Thanksgiving, we're supposed to be thankful," Blaine said.
"I'm not thankful for them!"
"It's just a dinner. Can you please come? For me?" Blaine kneeled beside the chair Jenna was currently in and gave her his best puppy dog eyes.
"I really hate you right now," she said, "alright. I'll go."
"Great! Thanks sis!" Blaine grabbed her face and planted a kiss on her forehead before walking away.
"Never do that again!"
"No…Wes…no. You're not listening to me," David said into his phone as he took a seat next to Blaine, "Wes, I said turkey. Are you even—hello? Damn it!"
"So how are you?" Blaine asked.
"Ready to shove Wes's gavel up his—,"
"Ahem!" a woman sitting not too far exclaimed. David mouthed a "sorry" and turned to Blaine, "Wes wants ham and turkey on Thanksgiving."
"What?"
"I know!"
"But it's turkey day! Who the hell eats ham on Thanksgiving?" Blaine said.
"Apparently Wes," David said, "anyway, where are the other two?"
"They were supposed to be here an hour ago," Blaine said checking his watch.
"Whatever. So my mom was thinking about making a pumpkin pie, but Thad is allergic so I told her apple but Thad has decide to keep himself away from apples ever since he got caught in the tree," David said.
"Who got who caught in a tree?" Nick asked as he pulled up a chair with Jeff.
"You two," Blaine said with a laugh, "what took you guys so long?"
"You don't want to know," Jeff said.
"I'd rather not," David said.
Shuffling the papers in front of him, Wes looked up every now and then making some sort of tension enter the room. Nick and Jeff were surprisingly uneasy as if one of their strange pranks had caused Wes to stare them down until they turned to dust. Blaine sat there with two fingers on his temple, the other one tapping his leg. David and Thad anxiously waited to hear what Wes had to say. The Asian Warbler opened his mouth to speak when…
"It was all Nick!" Jeff said accusingly pointing at Nick.
"What?" Nick exclaimed.
"Here we go," Blaine noted.
"He took it! He took your grandmother's gravy recipe," Jeff said, now standing.
"Really Jeff? Really?" Nick asked.
"How did you two get into high school?" Wes asked them. Jeff sat down and Wes continued, "that's not what I was going to say. The reason why the six of us are here is because I need to know where this shindig is taking place."
"I thought it was going to be at your house," Thad said.
"My mom has been…angry with me."
"Why?"
"She just has! Now, we need a new venue. I nominate Blaine's house!" Wes said before Blaine could object.
"I second that!" Jeff said. Everyone looked at him, "what?" he asked.
"So it's settled!" Wes banged his gavel and the meeting was dismissed.
Blaine was all dressed and ready—if you count being sweaty, in a cooking apron and oven mitts ready. He had never left the kitchen all day (Jenna wasn't so much help either) cooking a ham and he didn't understand why he was making it in the first place. David was already bringing a turkey, and there were like eleven of them anyway. Including: Jeff, David, Thad, Kurt, Jessie J, The Duvals, The Montgomerys, and the Andersons.
"Jenna, I could use some help!" Blaine said out of frustration. Jenna walked into the kitchen and noted Blaine's appearance.
"Sexy," she said. He gave her a look.
"Can you just set the table for me? I need to shower again and get dressed," he said.
"Fine. What plates?" She asked reaching into a cabinet.
"The festive ones," Blaine said as he removed his apron, "I'll be back." Blaine ran to his room while he left Jenna alone setting the table.
"Stupid Warblers. Need a ham and turkey I swear…" she mumbled under her breath while trying as gently as possible to set the table.
When Blaine came out (looking much cleaner), there was a knock on the door.
"Oh great," Jenna said.
"Relax, it's Kurt," Blaine said as he went to answer the door. Jenna squealed with joy.
"At least it's someone interesting!"
Blaine rolled his eyes and opened the door to see Kurt standing there with a pumpkin pie.
"You didn't have to do that," Blaine said.
"And hello to you too," Kurt said pecking him on the lips and walking in.
"Hi Kurt!" Jenna said.
"Hey Jenna. Wow this place looks great," he said.
"Don't get used to it, they're coming soon," Jenna replied, "at least the sisters are coming, including Jessie J."
"The singer?"
"Sure."
Knock knock
Blaine answered the door and saw Jeff there with Jessie J.
"Hey Blaine!" he said cheerily as usual.
"I had my mom make cookies," Jess said. Yes, it was true. On a plate were sugar cookies with chocolate chips in them.
"Come in," Blaine said standing to the side as they walked in. Jeff gave Kurt a hug like a little kid after school seeing his parent for the first time.
"Jeff…I'm dying…" Kurt said.
"I just missed you!" Jeff responded. Blaine almost closed the door when David, Wes, and Wes's sister came.
"Hey," Wes said.
"We brought the turkey," David said, but all three were empty-handed.
"Where is it?" Blaine asked. As if on cue, Thad showed up struggling to carry a pan with the turkey in it.
"No guys! Don't help me, I got it!" he said sarcastically angry. Blaine let them in before Thad gets a hernia. Soon, Nick and Annie showed up and it was time to eat.
"Okay, now, carving a turkey," Blaine said as he stood up in front of everyone, "what do I do Wes?"
Wes looked up from a "Turkey Carving Manual", "it says to start with the legs."
"Who wants a leg? Jenna! Thanks for volunteering!" Blaine said as a confused look formed on his sister's face. He broke off a leg and placed it on her plate.
"Who else?" he asked. Wes passed his plate to Blaine.
"I want ham," Wes said.
"Turkey first," Blaine said giving him a leg. The turkey was successfully carved, and the ham was ready to be served.
"Jenna! Thanks once again!" Blaine said as he placed some ham on her plate.
"Thank you," she said with a tone of displeasure and annoyance.
"Have a little enthusiasm," he said.
"Turkey and ham! Woot woot," she said giving a little fist pump.
"That's the spirit!"
Everyone had finished eating and were talking and having a good time.
"We should do this again next year," David declared.
"Agreed," Wes said.
"Okay but one of you are carrying the turkey," Thad said. The three councilmen broke into laughter.
"This was fun," Jenna said. Yes, Jenna.
"You thought it would be a disaster," Blaine said.
"Yeah, but I realized something," she got up and took her glass with her to the front of the table, "I'm thankful for you guys. No matter how many GAP attacks, disasters, and goats…I love you guys."
"That was so sweet!" Jeff said covering his face in his hands. Nick and Jessie J patted his back.
"To the Warblers," Jenna said as she raised her glass. They all followed. Jenna went to drink, but she shrieked.
"What's wrong?" Blaine asked.
"There's a fly in my water!" she said.
"Well get it out!"
"Okay, can someone hand me a spoon?"
"There aren't any!" Nick said.
"You forgot to give out spoons?" Jenna exclaimed to her brother.
"You set the table!" Blaine retorted.
"Oh blame it all on me…"
The two broke out into an argument, and Wes raised his glass and said, "Happy Thanksgiving!"
Yes, Happy Thanksgiving! I'm going to start a spin-off story from this. I was going to do a Christmas chapter, but I wanted to make it a whole other story which will include:
Klaine
Two unexpected lovers
Musical performances
Did I mention Klaine? ;)
Holiday cheer
And weird relatives. Plus a song that I made on my own which you can sing to annoy people and what not.
Thanks for reading!
