Tomorrow was the day. Senior prom. Rachel insides had been doing flips since the moment she woke up. Today was also the day she would pick the perfect prom dress. Kurt would be there in an hour so Rachel quickly drank her protein shake and hopped in the shower. Thinking the whole time about Finn and how much she loved him. How one day she would have little Molly and Jude with him. How there wedding would be perfect. How there apartment would be beautiful in New York. how her kids would grow up in the place she had always wanted to be.

When she got out of the shower she did her hair in it's usual straight fashion. Plain and simple. Which wasn't at all bad because her outfits usually compensated for her plain hair. For example today she was wearing a orange and yellow striped skirt with a white blouse that had a small elephant on the pocket on the right side, knee socks, and black ballet flats. And oh yeah the shirt was of course tucked in. When she had finished getting ready she walked downstairs and waited for Kurt.

She heard Kurt knock and quickly shot up out of her seat. She was simply so excited for this. She opened the door to a clearly as exciterd Kurt.

"Ready love?" He asked Rachel.

"Yes!" Rachel yelled back. Kurt giggled and took her hand.

"Let us go." Kurt responded.

As Rachel walked to the car she realized her body was still a little jumpy. She could not remember the last time she had been so excited. KUrt mut have noticed the jumpiness seeing as when hey were in the car it continued.

"You would think it was your wedding day or something calm down missy."

Rachel giggled.

"Can you imagine how I am gonna be at my wedding?" Rachel asked giggling again.

"Do not worry sweet cheeks I am going to be here with you every step of the way. From the moment you get the ring to he time you walk down to my brother.." Kurt said smiling.

"Kurt I love you. I just want you to know that i know about BLaine."

"What?"Kurt asked.

"Don't play dumb with me Hummel I know you to well. Breakups suck. trust me I know."Rachel said with a kind of grimace.

"I ran into Quinn."she continued to explain."Don' worry I bit her head off for you."Rachel stated as if this was to totally be expected.

"Isn' it funny how I would have never trusted you or relyd or counted on but now you are the main person I do?I love you Rachel Berry."Kurt replied.

Rachel leaned over in the car and hugged him. When she pulled away she looked into his tear filled eyes and smiled. Kurt returned the gesture.

"Ready?" Rachel asked.

"Yes. I have been planning for your prom dress since I was able to stand you! We need to go to the store that sells J-crew. I have the perfect dress in mind!" He said once again rapping his arms around Rachel. Rachel couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm.

They got out of the car and began walking to toward the mall. They were holding hands. Neither Rachel or Kurt found it weird. They were best friends nothing more. They didn't care what people thought. Rachel couldn't help but think back to the day when they actually became best friends. Rachel was shocked that now she even replaced Mercedes. Rachel began to realize she actually liked Kurt when he left new directions to become a warbler. She only realized because she missed him. Every time she walked into the choir room she had always had stray hope that maybe Kurt would be sitting in a little chair with his legs crossed. But Rachel had no such luck. When he came back but she couldn't help but try to make amends. And all her attempts worked. It turned out Kurt felt the same. He wasn't jealous of her voice because he knew he had an amazing one! He was jealous she got all the leads and solos. he thought about though and knew it wasn't Rachel's fault gave her all the solos.

As they walked through the double doors to the Lima mall Rachel couldn't help but squeal with excitement.

"Right there with ya." Kurt said.

"Kurt this dress better be perfect. Prom is tomorrow I don't have much time." Rachel said beginning to worry.

"Rachel do you know who you're talking to? When have I ever dressed you bad?" Kurt asked.

"Sorry you never have I am just really stressed! I can only do this once. Plus I want to look perfect for Finn."

"My brother doesn't know much about fashion but when he sees you in this dress. He is gonna have no idea what hit him. Or how he got a girl like you."

"I'm counting on that." Was Rachel's response. She really wanted to look perfect.

"Do you realize who is dressing you? Your doubts are wasted." Rachel only response was alittle snort.

As they walked through the mall Rachel had a feeling she knew where they were going. It was a small overpriced botiquie she always walked past but she couldn' pronounce the name. She knew it wsas one of Kurt's favorite stoes and she hoped Kurt knew she was on a budget. As they walked to the store Kurt paused and said,

"Extrement magnifique. IT means extremely gorgeous in french."

"Thats why I never go in this store. Because I always fall in love something and can't afford it."Rachel complained.

KUrt pulled a chunk of cash from his shirt pocket and said,

"Don' worry about money I dug out some savings. Before you can protets I am going to object only the best for my girl. Well my brothrs girl but you know what I mean."

"Kurt." Rachel sighed."I can not even begin to express my love for you."

"And with that we shall go."was Kurt's reply.

As they walked in the boutique Rachel couldn't help but feel like a kid in a candy store. She looked all around her so excited that she was finally able to buy something from this wonderful store!

It didn't take long. THe had been in the store for what like five minutes?but Kurt squealed in triumph!

"I found it Rach!" He yelled for her to come over holding up a lucienne one- shoulder silk chiffon dress, and the color well the color was a frosted citrus that simply took Rachel's breath away and made her gasp in delight.

"Kurt," She began. "I doubted you for a minute there what with all these expensive dresses everywhere, but this, now this is worth every penny."

"Preach." Was Kurt's witty response.

"Give it here!" She squealed. "I need to go try it on!"

Kurt couldn't help but laugh at the amazing tiny girl running toward the fitting room.

"Don't show me!" Kurt yelled to her. "I want to be surprised!"

"kk." Rachel yelled back already trying to get into the dress. When she got it on she just stared into the mirror mouth wide with shock. She knew the dress had looked pretty, but most things looked pretty on the hanger. Rachel always thought of herself as having this weird body type. She was only 5'2 for crying out loud! But this! Now this dress looked indescribable! Finn instantly came to her mind. She knew Finn didn't know or care much about fashion, but she also knew he would have that same mouth open stare that she was giving herself now.

It took a while but Rachel finally pulled herself together. She was able to unzip the gorgeous dress and put it back on the hanger. She walked out of the fitting room taking her dress with her. She knew Kurt would think it looked perfect on her. Rachel couldn't think of a time when something had looked that good on her. She even felt super skinny and that was always a plus seeing as she didn't believe it was right to stop eating to look good. That was why Rachel worked out everyday and ate healthy. She wanted to look good but also wanted to take care of her body.

Kurt gave her a blinding smile as she walked the dress to the counter. She pulled her wallet out of her little worn out bag only to have it shoved back in. She looked up at Kurt with a 'you crazy' face but he just rolled his eyes.

"You can get accessories."

"Fine." Rachel answered.

They got the dress for a steal. Only fifty dollars instead of one hundred fifty! Rachel was thrilled! She felt better if Kurt spent less on her.

They began walking through the mall then looking for little stores that sold accessories. Rachel couldn't wipe the smile from her face. Everything was falling in to place perfectly!

"Rachel I truly believe this is gonna be the dress to beat at prom!" Kurt said enthusiastically.

"Really?" Rachel asked excitement clearly evident in her voice.

"Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if the dress alone made you popular." Kurt said with a wink.

"I'm gonna be popular?"

"Rachel now that we're friends I've decided to make you my new project." Kurt began quoting Wicked's popular.

All Rachel could do was giggle he would not break out in song in the middle of the mall would he? If Rachel had any doubts they were quickly thrown away when Kurt began singing and dancing all through the crowd of people. When he had finished he was greeted by loud applause! There was one spot where the clapping was especially loud. Rachel looked over and saw Blaine at the front of the gathered crowd. Before she knew what she was doing she quickly stormed over to Blaine.

"What do you think your doing?" She accused. "Haven't you hurt him enough? It is in your best interest to get lost right now before I call Finn!"

"Woah hold up Rachel! I don't want to hurt him. He just did a great job I was giving him the praise he deserved."

"Blaine?" Kurt whispered from behind Rachel.

"Great now you've done it" Rachel said between teeth.

"That was great Kurt sorry I guess I'll be going now." Blaine replied and anyone could tell he was trying to not make things awkward.

"By all means stay Rachel and I were just leaving for our mani-pedi's."

And with that Rachel and Kurt walked away without a backward glance.
