[If you were expecting a whiny teenager on the network giving an exasperated sigh over how the mansion took far too long with its decorating when it obviously could have just been done in about ten seconds as usual, well. You'll be very surprised. Instead, the camera has turned on by itself, and it's angled down...much farther than usual

ACTION TIME

[itsahotone]

[Santana's not completely immune to Christmas spirit, believe it or not. She's only mostly annoyed with the way the mansion took forever to pushily decorate the whole place, and part of that is because it kinda makes her miss Brittany and her Santa-believing. Yes, Santana knew before, okay.

But her slight Christmas spirit doesn't extend to rugrats.]

Oh, great. More kids just running around without supervision.

ACTION TIME

[thisisherson]

[Kurt clearly doesn't recognize Santana. Not even a little. But she's talking about him, and he knows it, so he pouts!]

I am not! [...Wait. ...Wait, yes he was. Oh. Oops. He looks around like maybe he just misplaced his parents or something.

WELL WHATEVER. He's not too worried for now, mostly because he's distracted by this new person. He's just going to look up at her curiously.] Who are you? ...Your skirt's really short.

[AIN'T HE PRECIOUS? :|]

ACTION TIME

[itsahotone]

[Since he is a little kid and not a hot teenager-or-older, Santana will just roll her eyes at the observation, her hands on her hips.]

Santana. And I'm a cheerleader, of course my skirt's short.

ACTION TIME

[thisisherson]

[The lightbulb seems to click on in his head. She's a real cheerleader like the kind that cheer for sports his dad watches!] Oh! Really? You're a cheerleader?

Sometimes my Power Rangers are cheerleaders, when they're not getting married. The Pink Ranger is the top of the pyramid, but she doesn't stay up very well. I think she's going to get fired soon. [Firm, serious nod. The Blue Ranger's been wanting to give it a try for a while now anyway.]

ACTION TIME

[itsahotone]

Uh-huh... [Hmm. The kid seems slightly impressed or interested or something, so maybe he'll be less annoying than other kids.

Santana doubts it.]

That's...great, kid. [She looks around like she wants to make a break for it.] You have something shiny on your shoulder.

ACTION TIME

[thisisherson]

[He pouts again for a second, but then he remembers that oh yeah, he didn't say his name, so she has to just call him a kid. Only his dad can do that. ...Well, he'll fix that.] I'm Kurt.

I know. It's a boa. [And he tosses one end over his shoulder and adjusts his hair like the little starlet he wishes he was, and gives her his best "I'm a movie star so I don't care what you say" face.] Duh.

ACTION TIME 1/3

[itsahotone]

[SNORT.] A boa? It's like, a tiny bit of garland. duh. [So mature.]

ACTION TIME 2/3

[itsahotone]

[Wait, what? She staaares for awhile, because there's no way there can be another Kurt that does that weird hair thing and is also super queer.]

ACTION TIME 3/3

[itsahotone]

Kurt.

[She notices that Kurt Hummel stocking over there, OUT OF YOUR REACH, LITTLE BOY.]

Kurt Hummel?

ACTION TIME

[thisisherson]

[Woah, that's kind of weird that she knows his whole name.]

...Uh-huh. [THINK THINK THINK. There must be a good reason for that, right? He kind of cocks his head to the side.] ...Are you my mom's friend or something? [Dad doesn't have many girls for friends, and it shows because he dresses bad.] I didn't know she knew cheerleaders.

And it is too a boa. You just wish you had one. [Obviously.]

ACTION TIME

[itsahotone]

[Okay, so she's insulted at the very idea that she would be a mom's friend, but there's a way more important matter happening right now.

Kurt Hummel is suddenly a tiny little kid.

So she's just gonna burst into loud laughter, k?]

ACTION TIME

[thisisherson]

[NO, THAT'S NOT K AT ALL. NOT EVEN A LITTLE. He's looking really upset, because there was nothing funny about anything he said, so why is she laughing at him?!]

It's not funny! [Misunderstanding!] Maybe it's not really a real boa, but it's still pretty!

ACTION TIME

[itsahotone]

[It all makes so much sense, now. And wow, apparently Kurt's always been this way.

If it helps, Santana at least shakes her head through the laughing.] Calm down, squirt. The boa's--[SNICKER]--fabulous.

You just remind me of someone I know.

ACTION TIME

[thisisherson]

[He's not sure he likes that nickname. In fact, he's not really sure he likes Santana. He fixes his boa when she snickers and turns his nose up at her, just like he frequently does when he's older.]

Really, really fabulous. It would look gross on you. [OOO LITTLE KID BURN.]

[But then, he acts like he didn't just insult her and asks her a million questions at once!] ...Really? Who? What's he like? Is he famous? Do I know him? ...He is a boy, right?

ACTION TIME

[itsahotone]

[SCOFF] Please. I would so be able to pull that look off if I wanted to.

[But then she's snickering again, because his questions are just so pathetically hilarious.] He's exactly like you, but older.

ACTION TIME

[thisisherson]

Nuh-uh! You'd need gold. Silver would look icky on you, so you can't have it. [Kurt Hummel just said icky. You should hold this over him for the rest of his life.]

Really? ...Is he my uncle or something? You're not secretly my aunt, right? [He seems kind of grossed out at the thought. That would mean she'd have to marry his uncle and if this other new secret uncle is anything like his uncle Andy then ew!] You're old, but not that old. Just kind of old. Not old-enough-to-marry-my-uncle old.
