The next day the two roommates spend the afternoon helping each other with the final touches for the party the same evening. To be honest it's mainly Kurt helping Santana and then fixing the last details of his own outfit. By the time he is satisfied they already should have left to be there in time but neither of them really cares that much about whether they arrives in time or not. Being a little late has it's perks, for example the chance to make a great entrance which both Kurt and his friend really likes doing since it's a very good way to get the attention away from Rachel since she's very good at getting most of it which neither of the two friends who now are entering the cab to get to the party would like to admit.

"Ready to take this party with storm?" "Oh yes, very ready." Santana replies with a grin and then continues

"Just to make this more interesting, let's make a bet."

"What kind of bet would that be?" Kurt asks curiously since he loves taking on a challenge and this woman tend to have some quite interesting ideas.

"When we enter that place you're going make a hit on a guy that I pick and if you get his number I'll take the laundry for a week." She says with a grin knowing that Kurt won't back from this challenge.

"I'm on, but then you're going to do the same thing with whoever I pick for you. If you manage I'll take care of dinner for the same period of time as you fix the laundry."

"No problems, you better start to figure out what to cook because I'm looking forward to a week filled with delicious dinners." She says and pulls a little in her dress to make sure it's in place as the cab pulls up by the fancy hotel where the party is held.

When they open the doors to the room where the party takes place they turn than a few heads which of most keep looking at them for a little longer than you would have in most situations but it's exactly what the two wanted to happen. They look out over the crows and Santana says

"The guy in black by the bar, the one with the cape." Kurt looks to see who she's talking about and when he's sure he has spotted his target he nods and says

"I'm on it, the blond princess in the left corner." He replies after spotting her standing with a group on men.

"No match, good luck and don't forget to give the hobbit that gift before you go and meet your hero." She says before winking and heading in the direction towards the left corner, turning several heads on her way. Kurt just shakes his head and thinks that she's probably right about him having to do some cooking the upcoming week. Then he starts looking for his friend and it doesn't take many seconds to spot her as she's standing on the stage which has been built up to nobody's surprise. She's just about to hit the final note in her duet with Finn so Kurt walks over to the stair where she will return to the crowd together with his half-brother so he can greet them both. He has to admit that she really has earned her fame and that her voice really is meant to be on Broadway because holy cheesus, that final high note gave him chills. His best friend more or less skips over to him as soon as she has spotted him. She's dressed as a cat and he almost feel like sighing because of her lack of sense for fashion which still shines through even more than usually.

"Kurt!" She exclaims and gives him a hug.

"Happy 22nd Birthday!" he says and hugs her back and then hands her the gift.
