forget your troubles, happy days are here again / you better chase all your troubles away

So here's what you missed on Glee:

After getting slushied in the face for years and dealing with Karofsky's bullying, Kurt's decided to take a few defense lessons from the Black Widow herself - ( "I... just wanted to say thank you, again, for letting me participate in this course, and how much I'm looking forward to future lessons. You kind of blew

That Kurt's observation was right on the money came as something of a surprise to Santana. It meant that he knew her - or at least listened to her - more than almost every other Glee Club member, including those she had dated and/or slept with. (The exception, of course, was Brittany, but wasn't she always?) In a perfect world, one where being a fabulous teen gay amounted to more than guaranteed social suicide and a daily slushee facial, she could even imagine them as friends. Allies, at the very least. And because they were alike in even the smallest of ways, Santana felt confident in her assumption when she replied, "Oh, don't even try to deny you spent the better part of your formative years watching Spice World on a never-ending loop. I bet you still have the worn out VHS tape to prove it, too." She refused to believe otherwise; delighting in that film was one of the unofficial rites of passage for any little girl - or boy - growing up in the nineties.

Whether he would admit to it or not would have to wait, now that they were up. She made sure to snatch all the Posh parts for herself, and some Scary Spice here and there, while working in the simpler iconic moves she remembered from that dearly beloved period of pop.

Only after the song, Kurt finding himself more flushed and excited than he'd anticipated, did Kurt finally admit to the fact that Santana had more or less hit the nail on its head. The truth was, in terms of interests, Kurt found himself aligning most closely with both Rachel and Santana, though in completely different arenas. Rachel and him shared all of their life ambitions, their lofty goals, their dreams and desires to move back into a time more beautiful and considerate than their current. But with Santana, it was all of the guilty pleasures, the love of attitude and the desire to sparkle no matter what the cost. The love of being able to dive into anything, quality or otherwise, for the sheer enjoyment of it.

Frankly, it made singing the Spice Girls with her quite fun.

"...okay, okay, I'll admit it," he nods quickly, exhaling in amusement. "I used to watch Spice World about once a month. Though I definitely can't say that I had a lot of love for every one of those girls. Baby Spice still gets on my nerves more than she should."
