Aberdeen Washington, 1987
October 21st
Kurt's basement

Today was Kurt and Meadow's first official date and Kurt was nervous but also excited that he could finally take her somewhere. He was sitting in his basement throwing out different melodic sounds with Krist and Dave. The band was doing really well. in all honesty, gigs were being booked and an album was in the works. Kurt looked up from his writing and checked the time, his eyes went wide as he realized that he was supposed to be getting ready.

He threw his guitar on the couch behind him and his writing book as well. While he shot up the stairs, Krist and Dave shouted out asking where he was going.

"I have a date, remember?" Krist and Dave looked at each other with wide eyes and ran up past him. They were stopped by Kurt's aunt who had a bowl of brownie batter in hand with a confused look on her face. Krist and Dave sighed knowing that if they told her about the date she would make it an international event.

"Hi boys, how are you guys?" She pulled them in for a hug and pulled back. Krist and Dave smiled at her and made small talk about the band, political views, and her uncanny resemblance to Frances Farmer. Anything to draw her mind away from Kurt.

"Have I ever told you that you look just like the beautiful Frances Farmer?" Mari blushed and looked down. "Krist hush, you always flatter me." Dave looked away gagging at how easy it was for Krist to talk up Kurt's aunt. Mari and Krist walked back into the kitchen and Krist motioned to Dave to run upstairs and help Kurt.

Dave made it to Kurt's room and knocked, he heard a thud and then the door opened. Kurt looked red with either anger or pain, Dave couldn't tell. "You alright man?" Kurt put up his index finger signaling Dave to give him a minute. He finally calmed down and told Dave that he stubbed his toe on the way to the door.

"Wait, that's it? I thought something really happened man." Dave started laughing hysterically and fell back on the bed.

"That is serious, could've done some damage Dave. Dude, there's no time to laugh. Get up and help me find what to wear." Dave stood up from Kurt's bed with his hands up in surrender.

"Sorry Mom, let's get started." Kurt glared at him and they continued to destroy his closet looking for an outfit.

Meadow's house

"Presley, what the fuck is this? I can't walk out the house like this." Meadow eyed herself in the mirror looking at the tattered fabric that was on her body. Presley tried her best to calm her down, but Meadow was frantic. She went to go sit on the bed and Presley's eyes went wide.

"I know how you are M, don't you even think about crying. I worked way too hard on you for this to be the outcome. Go get me some scissors and get up." Meadow obliged and ran downstairs into the sewing kit to get some scissors. She ran back in and Presley went to work on the dress. She managed to renew the dress and stitch things together.

"It's beautiful, thank you love." Presley flipped the scissors and blew on them. "Just doing my job." Meadow turned from the mirror to look at Presley looking rather concerned.

"You think Kurt will like it?" Presley widened her eyes, "Are you kidding me? If he doesn't, then he knows that him and I have a problem." Meadow laughed, "Yeah, you have a point."

"So, when exactly is he supposed to be here? It's already seven-thirty, he should be here."

"Nope actually, he should be here about eight o'clock, maybe even eight-thirty. We didn't really give a specific time."

"I pray your kids don't get anything from you except your beauty and some just some of your smarts. Too much could seriously injure them." She threw a pillow at Presley, "That wasn't very nice Meadow."

"Shut up." They laughed until Blair walked in with her Polaroid. She had a huge smile and Meadow and Pres already knew the drill. They bunched together and there was the flash. Blair ordered them to look off into the distance, "Perfect, stand right there." Flash. Flash. Flash. Flash. "Okay, that's all. When's Kurt supposed to be here?"

*Ding Dong*

"I'll get it!" Blair sped down the stairs and opened up to see a Kurt that's never existed before. His usually disheveled blonde hair had been slicked back into a low ponytail. He had a modish suit and tie on with a bouquet in his hands. The only normal thing from him was the fact that he still had his Converse on.

"Hi Blair."

Flash.Flash.Flash

"Sorry Kurt, but you look so handsome." She grabbed his cheek and wiggled it as if she was a grandma seeing her grandbaby for the first time in a couple months. Kurt blushed, "Thank you. I really didn't wanna disappoint."

Blair scoffed, "Are you serious? You look amazing, Meadow is gonna lose her shit." It was like prom night without the actual prom. Kurt had decided that he was gonna try and outdo himself for their first official date. It was going to take place at a big Italian restaurant: Rigatoni's.

Blair and Kurt finally heard someone coming down the stairs, it was Presley. She had a fake horn that was mostly used for yelling in the others ears, but she wanted to make it somewhat useful tonight. She got to the bottom of the stairs and stood to the side.

"Lady and Gentlemen, I would like to present my best friend since we used to throw apple juice at each other during nap time. The gasoline that fuels my fire, Ms. Van Deely." Meadow finally made her way down the stairs in a simple yet elegant red dress that flowed with her chunky black Steve Madden heels.

Kurt took one look at her and almost fainted. She finally got to the bottom of the stairs. "Hi." Kurt snapped out of his trance like behavior, "H...Hi." Blair and Presley were in the back crying like goons. "She just grew up so fast." "I know B, I know."

"You look absolutely imposing Mea." She smiled and looked down, "Thank you. You look amazing too like really good." Kurt remembered the bouquet, "These are for you."

"Kurt, you really didn't have to get-." He piped up, "I wanted too, you deserve a lot more than this anyway." Meadow shyly took the bouquet smiling thanking Kurt again.

"I'll take them." Presley took the flowers and went off to go find a vase. Blair on the other hand asked for more pictures, "Okay Kurt, turn just a little. That's perfect!"

Flash. Flash. Flash

"We really have to get going B." Blair sighed, "Alright alright, but I'm taking these pictures for my nieces and nephews. You'll both thank me later." Meadow laughed and gave her a hug, soon after Presley ran out from the dining room and jumped in to join the hug.

"Have the best time beautiful, please be careful. I don't need to see you on the news with spray paint on your face."

"I'll be okay Pres. I love you guys." Kurt held out his arm, "M'lady." Meadow laughed and put her arm around his, and so it began.
