[A/N]: oh wow talk about intense writer's block

I was swallowed by school work this past couple of weeks and if it wasn't for the play and the hang out time I spent with my friends, I wouldn't have thought about this chapter. (I wrote this 3 times until I got it! Ugh!)

Hope it turns out ok [:

I own not the Glee characters

Rachel was running through the grounds of the school both she and Blaine were in. Autumn was on it's way and it was starting to get chilly outside, but that did not hinder her from running across the grounds towards the music institute. She was really happy, and she wanted Blaine to be one of the first ones to find out why. As she turned at the corner of the corridor on the 3rd floor, she saw that Blaine was still having his guitar one-on-one sessions, so she waited a little while for him to finish. As the bell rang, signalling the end of the period, Blaine opened the door and smiled when he saw her.

"Well this is a surprise!" Blaine said, giving Rachel a peck on the lips. "What made you go here? This place is a little far from the arts building," he said, putting his hands on her waist while the other held his guitar in a case.

"I have great news!" Rachel said, beaming. "No, I have stupendous news!"

"Ok ok calm down, let's go down to the grounds and then tell me the stupendous news," Blaine said to her while laughing. He knew that it had to be related to her acting career, or else she would not have been this giggly and jolly all of a sudden. It was really funny when Rachel was like this. She was really adorable.

As they stopped under a tree, Rachel pulled him down to sit, clearly excited to tell him the big news.

"So..." Blaine said, putting his guitar gently on the ground. "What happened?"

"Well, this past couple of weeks we've been studying animated movies and our professor told us that there is going to be a conference of animators in Paris and that our school has been selected to perform Anastasia as a musical to the delegates! And then they held auditions and I auditioned for the role of Anastasia and today they posted the ones they selected to play and Blaine I got the part!" Rachel told him, looking very very very happy.

"Rachel that's great oh wow congratulations! I'm so happy for you!" Blaine told her, giving her a very big hug.

"And the best part is, I get to travel to Paris! PARIS! Oh my god this is going to be the best Christmas I'm ever going to have!" Rachel told him.

Blaine stoppd and looked at Rachel. "Christmas in Paris?" Blaine thought, thinking that this was going to be their first Christmas as a couple. And he did not want to spend it away from her.

"When are you going to go to Paris?" Blaine asked, suddenly feeling a little gloomy. And try as he might to hide his sadness, Rachel still felt it, and she realized his worries.

"We'll be flying on the 20th because the performance is not on until the 23rd. And then we'll be going back on the 26th," Rachel told him, snuggling into him.

"That's going to be a long stay in Paris..." Blaine told her, stroking her arms.

They paused for a little while. They both knew what each other felt. Happiness and sadness. They were both happy because Rachel got the part, and they were both sad because they will be apart on their first Christmas.

"Hey Rach?" Blaine whispered to her. He did not want to spend his Christmas away from Rachel, and he knew that there was only one way to prevent that.

"Hmm?" Rachel mumbled, keeping her eyes closed as she breathed Blaine's scent in.

"Can I come with you?" Blaine asked her. He was not sure if the cast were allowed to have a company with them, but he hoped they do. It was the only reasonable thing to do for her. And besides, he wanted to be there when she performs.

Rachel suddenly stood up, looking down at him. She had a blank expression on her face which worried Blaine, so he too stood up.

"You'll go to Paris for me?" Rachel asked her. Blaine nodded as a response. He was not sure what Rachel felt about this, but he was hoping that she was happy. Suddenly, Rachel squealed and jumped to his arms. Blaine was completely surprised, but started laughing after a little while.

"Blaine! Yes! Yes you can come! I can't think of any better way to spend Christmas in Paris than to spend it with you!" Rachel said, still hugging him like a child. She was really happy about this. "But, you'll be spending a lot of money Blaine..." Rachel said to him suddenly looking worried.

"Rachel, I don't care! I want to be with you on your special day and I want to spend Christmas with you! No money can ever replace that!" Blaine said to her, holding her arms tightly.

Rachel smiled at Blaine. She was really happy that they would be spending time together in Paris, and she felt very lucky to have him as hers.

And with that, the couple spent most of their day walking on the grounds and stopping by at the local cafe. They also visited Signore Dimitri, for they remembered that he still did not know that they were now a couple, and they were happy to see the old man laughing of joy when they told him the news. Everything was really going well for them, and they both felt blessed.
