now back at the loft rachel has just had a shower and is now trying to figure out what to wear she looks through her wardrobe wondering just what is the perfect i didnt mean to marry your son but we seem to have chemistry and seem to be heading towards dating outfit.

" need help" kurt said poking his head through the curtain rachel bit her lip kurt had a very unconventional dress sense but she had to admit she needed help.

" im freaking out kurt i picked out a dress for dinner but we are not going to dinner so what do i wear " rachel said kurt smiled and walked over to her and put his hands on her arms.

" rach look at me your beautiful they are going to love you i know the situation is awkward but i think we both know that sebastian has feelings for you their his parents they took the news of the wedding very well and i think that is because he has feelings for you. rach their going to love you they know the situation so its not like you have to tell them just relax and be yourself... now stand aside while i pick out the perfect outfit that will make them enchanted with you and put a smile on sebastian's face" kurt said

" thank you" rachel said

" i think as we are at home its important not to look to done up so i would say no to dresses how about then jeans you got last time we went out and that pink woolen sweater with the glitter threaded through it. casual yet chic and make up natural not over done hair i would say up in a ponytail so its out of your face so they can see what a pretty wife on has" kurt said

half an hour later

rachel was stood in her room freaking out she was dressed and had to admit the outfit kurt suggested did look good she looked like she had made an effort but wasnt overly dressed.
