During the short car ride to where ever it was they were going, Kurt attempted to make conversation with Brittany, who responded to all of his questions with a different animal noise. Exasperated he finally asked Santana why only to find out Brittany was so worried she would slip and tell Kurt the secret she told everyone she refused to speak English all day and would speak animal so that even if she said the wrong thing no one would understand her. Kurt had grinned at that bit and simply asked Brittany if she wanted to hold his hand, immediately she latched onto him yipping like an excited puppy...he had definitely missed Britt.<p>When the car stopped the girls pulled Kurt out and lead him into the next spot for his surprise. Kurt thought he had an idea of where they could possibly be, he knew the sound of footsteps on the floor of McKinnley better than most, and there was no mistaking the mild scent of curry near the principal's office. When they pulled off the blindfold Kurt and the girls were in the auditorium standing in the middle of the stage. Rachel then handed Kurt his next letter with a soft smile and exchanged a soft look with Santana whispering an excited ''This is SO romantic!''</p><p>He opened the letter and read.</p><p>Kurt,</p><p>When I made the decision to transfer to McKinnley I told you it was because I couldn't stand to be apart from the person that I love. I meant that, every moment without you feels like something is missing. You were right when you said being in New York was hard on the both of us. Mostly just because I found out that I missed you CONSTANTLY. I miss everything about you when you are gone; I wish I hadn't taken having you close for granted.</p><p>McKinnley is not the same without you Kurt, Lima is not the same without you...I'M not the same without you. You bring color and life everywhere you go so when you leave... a staggering emptiness if left behind. You told me on this stage you were so proud to be with me, I want you to know that not only am I proud to be with you...to be worthy of love from someone as amazing as you. I am proud of YOU. You always told me I was the courageous one, but Kurt...you have more courage than anyone I've ever met, and I am SO proud to be able to call you mine.</p><p>No matter what obstacles have been thrown in your way, you still manage to come on out on top, even when nothing goes according to plan. You made it Kurt, you made it to New York, you have a job you love and a boss that adores you...believe me she does, I've spoken with her, she told me she could see you running vogue one day, having your own fashion line, being a name that is known all over the world.</p><p>I brought you here to remind you that you Kurt Hummel are a true star, whether you are preforming on a stage, singing for your friends, or back in the office at vogue...you are truly a star. With that I leave you to the girl's to give you your next gift, I can't take credit for it, I had LOADS of help and the idea definitely doesn't belong to me. I'm just the messenger. But I know you will love it, and you most definitely deserve it.</p><p>All my love,<br />Blaine</p><p>Looking up he saw Brittany jet across the stage and pull out another envelope. Only this one was much larger and looked important she handed it over to him with a big grin and skipped back over to Santana's side to take her hand.</p><p>He opened it, reached inside and out came a plane ticket, and a short letter from his boss.</p><p>Kurt,</p><p>When your boyfriend contacted me, I was already planning on doing this for you. But when he told me he plan, I couldn't help but want this to be a part of it. I always was a sucky for romance! ;) Of all the people I've hired over the years, no one has ever had such an incredible eye for fashion. You have so much potential Kurt, and I am looking forward to working with you and taking on the fashion world by storm. By the time I'm finished, Kurt Hummel will be a name known worldwide in the fashion industry. Mark my words!</p><p>On behalf of us here at Vogue, I would like to invite you, Kurt Hummel to join me for Fashion Week in Paris 2013, provided are your tickets and itinerary. When you return to New York, I have set up a meeting with a couple designers who will be featured there and you will get the opportunity to work with all three of them. Congratulations!</p><p>Along with your trip to fashion week, my inner romantic has decided to send you and your boyfriend on a Romantic Weekend getaway in Paris this Christmas so you have the opportunity to see and enjoy the city properly before we head there for Fashion Week.</p><p>Time to start brushing up on your French Monsieur Hummel!</p><p>-C.B.<br />Vogue Magazine<br />New York</p><p>Kurt's jaw dropped. He looked down at the letter in his hands and read it 3 more times just to make sure he didn't imagine the entire thing. He was going to PARIS! For FASION WEEK! He would be working with real designers and meeting some of the most influential people in the industry. He felt like he was hyperventilating. Not only that his BOSS was sending him on a romantic weekend getaway with Blaine, he had known she had liked him, but he seriously under estimated just how much apparently.</p><p>He motioned for the girls to come forward and handed them the letter, curiously they both scanned it and simultaneously their eyes widened and their jaws dropped. They launched themselves at Kurt congratulating him and telling him how proud they were of him.</p><p>When they told him he still had more to come Kurt honestly couldn't see how the day could get any better, they all walked back into the parking lot and Kurt found Tina, Artie and Sugar waiting for him by the car. With a smile he ran to them and said hello, hugging the new additions and showed them his letter. They congratulated him and told him he would have to put his blindfold back on because the day wasn't nearly over yet and he still had much more to see.</p><p>Kurt complied because honestly...of all the things he expected, he never thought he'd be having one of the best days of his life in LIMA, OHIO of all places. Blaine was apparently a magician.</p><p>_</p>
