A/N: I don't own Glee (Ryan Murphy and Fox do) or anything else you might recognize here (like Disney!) but use them here with love.

Blaine settled in at the piano bench and glanced back at their table in the crowded restaurant. He'd promised Rachel a duet, but her place was empty. He noticed Kurt talking to Sue's boyfriend Rob, and smiled as he stretched. Why girls always went off to the restrooms in twos was something of a mystery to him. He adjusted the mic and leaned forward a bit to greet the room.

"Hello, everyone! I hope you're all having a good night so far," he paused, letting the noise die down a bit. "My name's Blaine, and I hope you're not overloaded on Disney yet." His eyebrows danced, taking in a few scattered groans from co-workers. "My duet partner isn't back yet, so I'll just start with this." He played a jazzy sounding intro, then said, "sing along if you know it, especially on the crowd parts." His fellow veteran Cast Members smiled, knowing now what was next, and happy to oblige him.

Gotta keep one jump ahead of the breadline

One swing ahead of the sword

I only steal what I can't afford

He nodded to the audience, and a lot of them joined him

And that's everything!

He continued on his own next.

One jump ahead of the lawman

And that's no joke

These guys don't appreciate I'm broke!

"Help me out here," Blaine encouraged his audience, with a smile.

Scoundrel! Street rat! Take that!

He sang back at them,

Just a little snack guys!

Kurt's eyes were riveted to him as he performed, and he knew all the lyrics. If he hadn't remembered them from his youth, spending time with Rachel while she did her mandatory character study for Princess Jasmine had solidified his hold on all the words. He grimaced a little when Rob joined in. Sue hadn't been kidding, her boyfriend really did have a tin ear. But he was kind and welcoming, and had volunteered to round him and Rachel up for some grocery shopping further out from Disney, where the prices were better. While it was true that Mercedes would have done the same, Rob's insistence on helping them and giving detailed intel on how to save money this summer was endearing.

Towards the end of the song Sue slid into her seat with a smile, grabbing Rob's hand and giving a squeeze as she winked at him. Rachel headed up to join Blaine. This didn't surprise Kurt at all – the prospect of a duet with a talented partner was like crack to her, he mused, and she hadn't hid how excited she was about Blaine's invitation when they were getting ready. Kurt felt an insistent tapping on his shoulder and turned to look at Sue.

"Honey, you know you can trust me, right?" Her Georgia accent was even stronger when she was with her boyfriend, who shared a toned-down version of it.

Kurt squinted a little, not sure what she was getting at. But he knew that so far, he did: she'd been an excellent partner for their work today, and had proved that she could be simultaneously as snarky as Santana while still being as sweet as Brittany. "Um, sure. Yes, definitely."

"Go up there and take that duet away from your friend," she smiled at him. "Git on, now!" And she made shooing motions with her hands and giggled.

"What?" he hissed. "You don't know Rachel," he reasoned.

Sue's face turned stern and she got up a little to push him towards the raised piano bar area. "You said you trust me. Now go. It'll be all right, sugar."

Kurt got up and looked at Rob, mouthing, 'a little help here?' at him.

"Whatever she's got cooked up, y'all better go," he murmured.

Blaine had finished introducing Rachel and his attention went back to the keyboard and adjusting the microphone. Kurt picked his way through the tables between their table and the stage, and Rachel turned towards him and gave a huge, comically over the top wink and crept down off quietly, while she motioned for him to take her place.

"Are you sure?" he whispered to her.

"Go," she said, squeezing past him.

Kurt shrugged and did as she told him to, positioning himself behind Blaine.

"C'mon over," Blaine said, looking out at the crowd. "Plenty of room."

Kurt swallowed and looked back to their table, where Sue was now motioning for him to do what Blaine said.

He remembered Blaine from watching the Warblers in competitions. Velvet-voiced, charismatic, and sometimes kind of hilarious on stage, with his adorkable mannerisms. He'd always assumed the boy was straight, and after the debacle of crushing on Finn he'd lost his taste for chasing straight boys. Late in their shift, however, Sue had told him that Blaine was not only a dear friend (though she did tend to describe an awful lot of people in those terms), but was one of the few gay Disney Princes who didn't seem interested in getting lots of action. She'd sighed, admitting to him that Blaine had told her he was here to work, and that he was a true romantic, so therefore avoided the partyers and the players. She was certain he was single, she had told him, and only revealed this much (telling him too that Blaine was very private about his personal life) after learning more about Kurt himself.

Rachel hadn't said it explicitly, but now he could see it – she wasn't only excited about going out to a piano bar restaurant on open mic night for its own sake. He sought her eyes out as she turned her chair around to watch, and she gave him a tiny nod and a genuine smile. He looked down at Blaine, and touched his shoulder before speaking to him.

"I'd love to join you," he said quietly.

Blaine grinned at him, his eyes sparkling and catching the light. "Everyone, we have a special treat here – let me introduce to you Kurt Hummel. Maybe Rachel can come back and join us on the next set." The audience clapped politely as Kurt scooted next to him on the piano bench.

"I'm going to stick with my song selection," Blaine said quietly to Kurt, playing the opening bars of A Whole New World. "If that's okay with you."

"I seem to remember you singing a lot of Katy Perry back in the day," Kurt smirked at him. "I prefer Gaga, myself, but I do like this song."

Blaine nodded and started them off.

I can show you the world

Shining, shimmering, splendid

Tell me, princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?

Kurt nudged him, and sang the next verse.

I can open your eyes

Take you wonder by wonder

Over, sideways, and under

On a magic carpet ride

Blaine sang back at him

A whole new world

A new fantastic point of view

Kurt joined him, and harmonized perfectly. He noticed the crowd seemed to be loving it.

No one to tell us no

Or where to go

Or say we're only dreaming

Blaine bobbed his head at him, motioning him to sing alone now.

A whole new world

A dazzling place I never knew

Rachel smiled at Sue as she leaned forward to talk to her. "They're so cute together!" she squealed.

"I know it, sugar," Sue purred, smiling over at Rob. "Just look at them up there. It's like they were meant to sing together."

Rob nodded, agreeing with her. "I think you may have finally found a match for him, darlin'."

"They sound so good," Rachel beamed at them.

"Honey, Kurt tells me you're the second coming of Barbra Streisand. I'm looking forward to hearing you too, girl."

Rachel practically glowed on hearing this. "Thank you. Not just for that. I mean, I would have made such a fool of myself with Blaine -"

Sue sighed, smiling indulgently at the stage. "That's the thing. You wouldn't have, honey. He would have felt so bad for you, you'd have been tripping over yourself to forgive him. Silly boy isn't good at picking up clues. It's like he needs a floppy-eared blue dawg or somethin' to help him figure stuff out."

They all giggled at the Blue's Clues reference. "Maybe I do too," Rachel admitted. "I mean, I have two gay dads; you'd think my gaydar would be better than that."

"Well, Sue, you've accomplished your mission for Blaine this summer. Now you can just relax and rest on your laurels -"

"Hush," she commanded him. "I want to hear the rest of the song."

They clapped enthusiastically as the song ended, and the two men rejoined them at the table.

"You were wonderful – both of you!" Rachel said as she got up to hug Kurt.

"So were you – you practically forced me to take over your spot," Kurt grinned at her. Rachel noticed that Blaine's eyes didn't stray from Kurt's face, until he seemed to remember something and turned to her.

"I really do want to sing with you," he assured her. "As a matter of fact, I put us down for the next available slot, which is in about twenty minutes."

"Of course I'll be happy to oblige," Rachel smiled at him. "But I have to say, you two sound great together."

"I know!" Blaine gushed. "I mean, I can't wait to hear you in the rest of your range," he said to Kurt. "This might be a late night after all."

"I think I don't mind that," Kurt said modestly.

"Y'all are gonna have to be 'furs' tomorrow if you wear out your voices, just sayin'", Sue teased.

"It would be worth it," Blaine said, his eyes back on Kurt.

"You know, I think I need another trip to the ladies'." At the quizzical look Kurt shot her, she added, "What? I had a lot of iced tea with dinner!"

"You sure did, honey," Sue added. "And a gentleman doesn't question a lady's motives."

"I said nothing!" Rob protested, rolling his eyes. "You girls do whatever it is you do." He looked at the two singers, who were already deep in conversation beside him, and guessed that Sue had struck again. She was a tireless matchmaker, and for anyone she really cared about, and Blaine certainly counted in that admittedly large group, when they weren't busy planning their own future, she was busy trying to make futures for her friends. "I'm gonna go order something from the bar," he said to them, and he smiled when Blaine nodded politely and then went right back to listening to Kurt.

"I'm just gonna come right out and say it," Sue said to Rachel as they turned into the hallway to the bathrooms. "Some day your prince will come, and I will personally make sure that happens."

"Well, I'm not sure if I'm quite ready for that," Rachel admitted, "but I do appreciate the thought. They do look adorable together, I must say."

"Honey, Kurt did tell me a little about you," Sue told her. "And I'm sorry for what happened. For both of you. He sounds like he was a special guy."

"The specialest," she said, a quiver in her voice.

"I don't doubt it." She bent down to give her a warm hug, then let go and smiled at her. "I want to see you keep your promise, though. We've got to hear you sing!"

"I can't pass up a chance to perform," Rachel said with a little bow. "The show must go on!"

"You were right, she's amazing. Even I can hear that!" Rob gushed at Kurt, as Rachel accepted the loud applause and Blaine bowed to her on stage.

"She really is," Kurt agreed. "I had to fight her for solos my entire high school career because of it."

"I think you give her a good run for the money," Sue said. "I mean, I definitely want to hear more of what you can do. Did you ever sing anything from The Boy From Oz?"

"Oh no, not musical theatre. We'll never get out of here," Rob pretended to pout.

"As a matter of fact, yes, I did. Not the Boy Next Door was my audition piece for NYADA."

"I'm getting beers," Rob announced to no one in particular. "And not driving."

"I think he'd get along good with my dad," Kurt snorted. "Does he watch football?"

"He does," Sue confirmed. "Though Blaine does too, come to think of it."

"A man of many surprises," Kurt breathed, watching him come back with Rachel.

"I won't give you any more spoilers," Sue teased. "Oh, and we can drive Rachel home, if you like."

A/N: So, there you have it. I might consider this a complete story (and stop playing hooky from my long fic!), unless of course you'd like more of this. The songs are both from the Disney movie Alladin, One Jump Ahead and A Whole New World. Fun fact: Darren has sung A Whole New World with Lea Salonga (Jasmine's singing voice in the movie), which should be easy to find on youtube. As for the story, we all know they're soulmates, and apparently so did Kurt's Wendy, the sweet-talking Sue. I hope you've enjoyed this, and of course I'd love to hear from you any time. And yay, hiatus is over!
