Rachel breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the house lights were off. That meant her dads were away, but for how long was the question.
"OK" Kurt murmured getting out of the car.
Rachel followed closely as they walked up the driveway. Kurt opened the door for her.
"Thank you." she whispered.
She headed to the kitchen as Kurt walked up to her room to start packing.
Grabbing a pen and a peice of paper she began to write a note. it said:
Dear Dad and Daddy,
I'm moving out. I still love you guys so much, but it's time for me to leave the nest.
Although I still love you there are some things I must say. Daddy when you hit me it hurt me, inside and out. And I resent not having a childhood like Finn, Kurt, or any other of my fellow Glee members.
If you cut me out of your life I understand.
All my love,
Rachel
She posted the note on the fridge and headed up to her room.
Kurt was hard at work when she came in. He had sorted her clothes into three piles: Fashionista, OK to wear at times, and give away ASAP.
"I've always wanted to do this." he grinned throwing a skirt into the give away pile. "Get me a garbage bag will you?"
"Sure."
Within an hour all of her belongings were sorted, packed, and in his car. Kurt was talking exitedly about taking her shopping after Glee the next day as he drove to his house.
"You seem in a better mood." she observed smiling.
"Well now that our little star is safe we have sectionals in the bag."
Rachel rolled her eyes. 'Sure' she thought
Kurt's house was a lot bigger than Rachel's. He gave her a quick tour before the two settled in his room.
"Rachel have you ever played pretend?" he suddenly asked.
"Just for fun? No I haven't."
"What! Have you even had a childhood?"
"Nope!"
Kurt rushed to his closet and dragged out a large cardboard box. "My dad wants me to give this stuff away but this reminds me of Mom so I can't." he began to shuffle through the contents. Taking out a princess hat and a fake red rose he went back to Rachel.
"There." he said placing the hat on her head. "Princess Rachel."
Rachel began to giggle as he rushed back to the box. Kurt pulled out a crown and sword for himself, then kneeled in front of her.
"gentle lady." he said in a princely voice " I have bravely rescued thee from the dragons who wouldst dare hurt my princess."
"I thank thee." Rachel said sweetly " thou art a gentle and kind prince."
Kurt stood up and held out his hand. "Wilt thou honour me with a dance?"
"Yes."
The two began a waltz.
The game continued for about forty minutes.
"When can I court thee again my lady?"
"On the morrow by the hour of six." Rachel breathed looking into Kurt's blue eyes.
"And may I grace my princess with a kiss?"
" If thou feels the need to."
Kurt's lips pressed against hers, kissing her as a true prince charming would.
As soon as the crowns were off, they were no longer a courting prince and princess, but the out school gay and the diva once more.
