Hi everyone this is my first Glee post, I have gone with the Puckleberry scene as it is my favourite match pity the show is all bout Finchel. This song is one of my favourites and I am a country fan so I hope you all enjoy something a bit different. Thanks

As usual the members of McKinley High's Glee club members where waiting in the choir room for Mr Shue to arrive.
Rachel and Finn where quietly whispering sweet nothings in each others ears, Brittany and Santana where doing the same except of more explicit nature. Mercedes, Kurt and Quinn where discussing the new seasons latest trends while Sam was teaching Tina and Mike how to speak in Na'vi. Puck was teaching Artie the trick to pick up chicks in his usual crass manner.
Mr Shue then entered the room clapping his hands.
"Alright folks as we know Sectionals are coming up and where have to come up with our set list" he exclaimed
"Mr Shue I think this is a marvellous idea and I was wondering if you had a chance to read the list proposals for songs I have researched" Rachel announced
"In fact I have Rachel and I found one song very interesting that has come from a genre we have only scraped lightly over. Country music everyone is a very strong genre of music with very strong feelings, very strong ballards are in this genre which is where I have chosen the ballard for sectionals for. This song I have selected for Rachel and Puck to sing" Mr Shue announced
"Oh please why is it the diva that gets to have all the good songs" Mercedes announced
"Mercedes if you feel confident you can hit the high F that is required for the female lead in the song then you may audition for the role and that goes for everyone else." Mr Shue exclaimed
He was met with silence
"Also Pucks voice is perfect for the male lead to help with some deep male vocals. This weeks home for everyone and yes that means you Rachel and Puck is to research a country song that you feel is appropriate for you to sing for next week, you are dismissed. Rachel and Puck come up here to retrieve you sheet music."
After everyone but the three left Mr Shue handed them the sheet music
"Mr Shue I am delighted you have allowed me the opportunity to try such a different genre, I mean as a future star I am always going to need to try different obsticals" Rachel exclaimed
"yeah yeah we get it Berry you are going to be a star" Puck grumbled
"Ok Rachel and Puck you have a week to practice I will not announce the name or nature of the song to anyone and I don't want either of you to as well to keep the emotions in the piece." Mr Shue announced
He then left the room
"Ok Noah if you are free I expect you to be at my place by 8.00 so we can practice as I want this song to be perfected by next week."
"Yeah sure Berry will be there"
"Well have a good afternoon Noah and see you this evening"
That afternoon Rachel went about researching the song and artist before Noah arrived by 5.00 she found a piece of information that would be very important for there performance so she sent a text message to Noah
Rachel*: Do you think it would be possible for you to play this song on your guitar, if so you would mind bringing it tonight?
Puck: wll do
At 8.15 that night Noah knocked on the Noah of the Berry household at the first knock the door sprung open to reveal a slightly peeved Rachel.
"Where have you been? You are fifteen minutes late do you know how annoying it is for me when people are late..."
She was cut off
"Geez Berry keep your pants on, better yet maybe you could take them off" he leered at her
Before she could open her mouth Puck corrected himself
"God Berry don't be such a prude I was joking lets go rehearse"
"I don't want anymore crass comments from you tonight Noah please and have you decided what other song you are going to sing next week. I have chosen Kellie Pickler's Makin' Me Fall In Love Again as I feel it is quit within my vocal range."
"Yeah I have"
"Well what is it Noah"
"Blake Shelton's All About Tonight"
"That sounds fantastic Noah right down to business do you think you are able to play this song on your guitar?"
*The practice continues*
The week in Glee Club everyone started to sing the songs they had practiced; Brittany and Santana did a duet of Bombshells 19 and Crazy, Artie did a heartfelt rendition of I'll Walk by Bucky Covington that had the whole club in tears, Tina and Mike sang Wild At Heart by Glorianna, Quinn sang Breathe by Faith Hill followed by Sam who did Cleatus T Judds parody of Breathe called Breath, Mercedes did Nothin Bout Love Makes Sense by Leanne Rhimes while Kurt sang Summer Nights by Rascal Flatts, Finn then sang Big Star by Kenny Chesney while looking at Rachel.
Everyone was waiting in anticipation for Puck and Rachel to finish their solos before they sang there duet.
Finally they sat down on the stools provided, Puck with his acoustic guitar in his hands and they were facing each other.
"Today Noah and I are singing the song Oh Love by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood" Rachel announced and Finn was frowning at the name "This song was written for Brad Paisley as he felt amazing vocal chemistry with Carrie Underwood while on tour with her and was waiting for the perfect duet to perform with her."
Puck then began the opening chords
[Noah Puckermen]
Strong like a mother holds her child
Free as horses running wild
And real as a prayer on a lonely night
And sure as the ocean tide
[Both]
Oh love
Oh love
Oh the many colors that you're made of
You heal
You bleed
You're the simple truth
And you're the biggest mystery
Oh love
Oh Love
[Rachel Berry]
Deep as the life from Gods own breath
And it's even after death
Gone like the sunset
[Noah Puckerman]
You can break a heart in pieces
Put it back together again
[Rachel Berry]
You can break down sweet forgiveness
You're the one that never ends
[Both]
Oh Love
Ooooohhhh
Ooooohhhh
Oh love
Oh love
[Rachel Berry]
Oh the many colors that you're made of
You heal
You bleed
[Both]
You're the simple truth
And you're the biggest mystery
Oh love
Oh love
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
The whole club sat in a stunned silence throughout the performance noticing not only the vocal chemistry between the two. As the song finished they all began clapping and cheering and Mr Shue was whipping tears from his eyes.
"Wow guys that was amazing that is definitely our opening number for Sectionals"
The whole club was nodding in agreement but the couple where still absorbed in each others eyes as they felt electricity zapping between them.
