Will claps his hands as everyone gathers into the choir room. "Okay, as you all know, as national champions, we get to host the annual Show Choir Rules Committee meeting."

Violet raises her hand. "Please tell me you're gonna ask what 1/3 vintage meant last year?"

Charlie nods. "Or like, why some teams get to sing six songs and other ones only do one?"

Blaine perks up. "Speaking of competitions, shouldn't we start like, preparing for ours?"

Will nods. "I have some ideas which I am working on very hard. Um... I don't really want to give anything away right now... I have no ideas. I'm tapped out. I spent all last weekend trying to think of something for us to perform, and all I came up with was a scat version of 'Carmina Burana.'"

Brittany raises her hand. Will nods. "Yes, go ahead." He says.

"Excuse me, I'm not sure if what you were saying was actually important 'cause I wasn't listening but I'd like to make an announcement. First, I'd like to know if anyone can prove that Blaine was actually born in this country. Second, I'm wrapping up the election by selecting Artie as my running mate." Brittany says.

Artie nods and everyone else gives confused claps.

"I think by bridging the human-slash-robot divide, we'll ensure that both students and vending machines will be voting for us." Brittany ensures.

"Still not a robot." Artie comments.

"Brittany, that's not fair. This isn't a popularity contest, it's about who's got the best ideas. It's about believing you can make a change, right?" Blaine asks.

Violet nods. "Blaine's right, Brittany. I mean, look at what you did last year. You genuinely forgot you were senior class president. All you really did was plan a dinosaur-themed prom — which was awesome — and that's it."

Brittany frowns. "But Violet, you're like, my best friend."

Violet smiles sadly. "I know. You're one of my best friends Brittany. But I think it's probably time for someone else to become senior class president."

"And that was just the rough cut." Kurt tells Violet on their Skype call. He's telling his fiancée about not only his internship at Vogue, but about Rachel's new makeover.

Violet smiles. "No, it's genius. And Rachel looks so gorgeous, the whole looks so... like, professional, like a real fashion video that you'd seen on TV or something. So what's the next step?"

"Well, uh, ideally the dream would be that Isabelle would see it, and love it, and then put it on Vogue.com. But I mean, she's already committed to so many other concepts that..." Kurt gets cut off by Violet.

"No, Kurt, of course she's going to choose yours. She's gonna pick yours." Violet encourages.

Kurt smiles. "And then, after we made over Rachel, Isabelle took us to this place called Gray's Papaya and we had guava juice and hot dogs."

Violet smiles. "Wow. Sounds fancy."

Kurt nods. "It was amazing."

Violet giggles at his enthusiasm. "You're hanging out with fashion goddess Isabelle Wright. I'm here in New Directions, and get this:  that Jake kid that auditioned a few weeks ago? He's in New Directions and he's Puck's half-brother."

Kurt's eyes widen. "There's no way that's possible."

Violet laughs. "I wish it wasn't true, but it is. We have another Puckerman at McKinley."

"Wow. I never would've seen that coming." Kurt says with a laugh of disbelief.

"Hi, Violet, we miss you!" Comes Rachel's voice.

Kurt perks up. "Oh, Rachel says hi."

Violet smiles as she waves to her laptop screen. "Oh, hi, Rachel."

"By the way, one more question about the video. That scene where she plays the East Village It Girl — did you think that was too much?" Kurt asks.

"No, it's... I don't know." Violet answers honestly.

Kurt smiles. "Oh, good, good, good. 'Cause I didn't either, but she was a little skeptical. But I said she was very Chloe Sevigny chic, right?"

Violet nods. "Yes you did." She says.

Burt peeks his head in her doorway. "Hey kiddo. Lights out in 5 minutes."

Violet nods. "Okay."

Burt closes the door and Violet turns back to Kurt, who's face is as cute as ever, even on a laptop screen.

"I gotta go. It's weird being the only teenager in the house. I miss my two favorite guys." Violet says.

Kurt chuckles. "Well your most favorite guy is going to hang up so you can get your quality beauty sleep. Have a good night baby. I love you."

Violet smiles as she blows him a kiss.

"I love you too."

Violet's working under the hood of some poor guy's car at Hummel Tires and Lube. She quit being a waitress and works part-time for Burt. Burt pays better and is much more lenient on her work hours.

Burt smiles as Violet works. "Y'know, Kurt is lucky. He's got a girl that knows how to fix an engine."

Violet smiles as she finishes working. "Well I wouldn't say that..." she says modestly.

"Are you kidding? With as many times as Rachel's been in here with Finn, she's always looked so confused whenever Finn would talk shop. Violet, you know what you're doing." Burt praises.

Violet blushes as she closes the hood. "Thanks Dad."

Burt looks shocked. "Um... you-you just called me 'Dad.'" He points out.

Violet freezes and looks down. "I-I am so sorry. It-It's just... you've been more of a father to me than my own dads were. I won't say it again; it slipped out."

Burt has a smile on his face. "No, don't apologize. Violet... you've been a part of this family since you were about 7 years old. And you're about to become official family when you marry Kurt. You're more than welcome to call me Dad. I see you as my daughter. I've always seen you as my daughter. I love you Violet."

Violet tears up and hugs Burt.

"I love you too Dad."

Violet's on FaceTime with Kurt that night. "So apparently Blaine is now senior class president with Sam as his Vice President. Which is kinda cool since I voted for him." She says.

Kurt chuckles. "Wow. I never thought I'd live to see the day where Blaine Anderson becomes interested in the political waters of McKinley's student body."

Violet nods. "I know. But we're all happy for him. So how's your internship at Vogue going? Did Isabelle like your video?"

Kurt nods enthusiastically. "She did. She really did. She's a lot nicer than I thought she'd be. Apparently she wants to meet you, because I talk about you all the time." He says.

Violet blushes. "You talk about me to your new boss?"

Kurt smiles. "Yes I do. How could I not talk about my amazingly talented and ungodly gorgeous fiancée?"

Violet blushes more as she snuggles deeper into one of Kurt's old shirts. She liked to take them and wear them to bed. They smelled just like him and were extremely comfortable.

"Aww. Baby don't hide your blush. You're adorable!" Kurt says.

Violet squeaks. "I am not!"

"Rachel! Tell your sister she's absolutely adorable." Kurt says.

Violet sees Rachel's face on the screen of her phone.

Rachel gives her sister a smile. "He's right! You are adorable!"

Violet groans. "I swear, you two and your ganging up on me. It's not cool!"

Rachel laughs and hands the phone back to Kurt.

Violet looks up when Burt pops his head in.  "Hey. Remember, lights out in 2," He says.

Violet nods. "I remember." She states.

Burt nods. "Goodnight kiddo."

"Goodnight Dad." Violet says as Burt closes the door.

Violet turns back to her phone to see Kurt's jaw is on the floor.

"Since when did you start calling him Dad?" Kurt asks.

"Um... since this afternoon. It kinda slipped out, but he's totally cool with it." Violet answers.

Kurt breaks out into a smile. "Well I know you have to go to bed in a minute, so I'll let you get your rest."

Violet smiles. "I love you baby."

Kurt smiles. "I love you more."

That night, Violet falls asleep with a big dreamy smile on her face.
