A/N: New story, I've been toying with the idea for a while and it was quite distracting while writing my other stories. Anyways, I'm almost finished with the alternative ending for See You Soon. It'll be under the original title name, "I Will Fix You." "Right Girl" is also almost completed and I will begin updates when I finish. The reason why I'm doing this is because I start school soon and I know that if I don't finish it now, I'll probably never finish it so I'm going to complete it and then update once it's all done. Don't worry, I WILL finish the stories :) Anyways enjoy this one!

"You're doing it all wrong," she yelled for the millionth time that day. Everyone around her rolled their eyes at her outburst. Usually, it wasn't this intense but today, she was on the warpath. She even yelled at Mr. Schue a few times during rehearsal.

"Alright that's enough! Mr. Schue, can you do something to calm down Ms. Thang over here," Mercedes asked. Mr. Schue sighed and shrugged his shoulders.

"Rachel, you really need to calm down. I get that Sectionals are important but it's still a few weeks away," he said trying to calm down his female lead.

"It's in two weeks Mr. Schue and we're not ready!" Rachel knew she was being overly aggressive but she was just tired of the fact that it seemed like she was the only one who cared about placing.

"Can you just chill the fuck out?" Puck said sharply.

"He's right Rachel. Your diva attitude is overbearing and uncalled for. Frankly, you're not as irreplaceable as you think you are," Kurt said. She saw a few members nod their head in agreement.

"Is that how you all feel," she asked. When no one responded, she took it as a unanimous yes. "I'm sorry you all feel that way." She walked over towards her backpack and started to pack her things.

"Oh what now," Quinn asked rolling her eyes. "You do this all the time. It's getting really old." Rachel just looked down and finished packing her things. She was making her way towards the door when she heard Mr. Schue speak.

"Guys, Rachel's leaving," Mr. Schue said. No one looked up or even seemed to care for that matter. She shrugged and gave Mr. Schue an apologetic look before making her way out the door. Mr. Schue couldn't blame her for being mad; he knew that the competition was close but there was just so many things going on with his wife's pregnancy and just normal high school drama that he couldn't bring himself to concentrate. He sighed as he looked at the group in front of him: four football players, three cheerios, a kid in a wheelchair, a gay kid, a Goth and a diva with a powerful voice.

"I'm sorry Mr. Schue but we're all sick of her diva tantrums when she doesn't get what she wants," Kurt said.

"Guys, Rachel is right. Yeah, we have an advantage over the two other teams we're facing at Sectionals but Vocal Adrenaline is right there at Regionals waiting for us. And without 12 members, I don't see how we can even think about competing now," he said. He took a minute to think before he spoke again. "Rehearsal is over today. I'll see you guys tomorrow and hopefully, I can talk Rachel back into coming back to glee." Once Mr. Schue left the choir room, Kurt, Mercedes, and Quinn approached Puck.

"What do you want Beyonce," Puck asked annoyed. He enjoyed the peace that music gave him but he was tired of the constant drama going on.

"We have a proposition for you," Kurt said. Puck turned around to face the group in front of him. Finn, Artie, Matt and Mike were huddled on the other side talking about a new strategy Finn came up with while playing Call of Duty the night before. Tina, Santana and Brittany were just off in their own little world.

"What is it?"

"We want you to seduce Rachel for the next two weeks until Sectionals." The words gathered the attention of the rest of the group as they got up to listen to the conversation in front of them. Puck raised his eyebrows at the smaller boy in front of him. "We want you to be the Cowboy Casanova to her Carrie Underwood so to speak."

"What the hell does that even mean Hummel?"

"Look white boy, we all know you're the big time charmer around here and we need you to do the same with Rachel. Mellow her out a little and show her there's more to life than glee so she'll calm the heck down," Mercedes joined in. Puck looked at the group in front of him and saw them nodding at him.

"Wait a minute!" Santana butted in. "You want him to seduce Rachel just for your benefit?" Everyone nodded.

"That's just so wrong," Brittany said breaking from daze.

"Puck, I know what an asshole you are but do you honestly want to do this to her? Do you care about whether or not you hurt her," Santana said. She was angry. Sure, she didn't get along with Rachel most of the time but that was mostly because of Quinn. This was taking it too far. Bullying someone was one thing but using and then breaking the heart of someone was on a totally different level. Puck thought about what Santana said and Quinn could tell that he was second guessing.

"Hey! Since when did you two ever care about Rachel? You hate her just as much as we do." Quinn snapped. This idea killed two birds in one stone for her. She would mellow out and she would stay away from Finn. It was too perfect of a plan. Santana and Brittany rolled their eyes.

"Quinn, you're a bitch," Santana said matter-of-factly.

"We're not going to be a part of this." With that said Brittany and Santana got their stuff and made their way out the door.

"Does anyone else have a problem with this? Because if you do, I suggest you leave right now," Quinn barked. Matt and Mike looked between each other and gather their stuff and followed Brittany and Santana out the door. Quinn was taken back that Finn hadn't moved from his seat.

"So you're telling me that you want me to go out with her?" They nodded. "What's in it for me?"

"$500."

"For two weeks? Not worth it," Puck said. The girls looked at Kurt for some guidance. Even though, it was their idea, Kurt was the only one rich enough to fork up that much cash.

"$700 but that's the highest I'm willing to go Puckerman." Puck looked at the group for a second before turning his gaze set on Quinn with her hand resting on her stomach. He knew that even though she was just a few months along, the money would do her good. He wasn't like his father. He was going to support the baby inside her no matter what she said. He turned to look back at the group and nodded.

"Excellent, the $700 dollars will be given to you at the end of Sectionals," Kurt said.

"Yeah whatever," Puck said throwing his backpack over his arms and making his way out the door. He didn't know how he was going to play off the fact that he, the boy who has thrown slushies at Rachel for the past two years, was suddenly "interested" in her. He got into his 2007 Acura MDX and drove off campus to pick up his 8 year old sister from the babysitters.

"Hello Noah! You're here early today," Mrs. Stevens said as Annie packed her backpack. Usually, Puck would never let anyone call him Noah besides his mother and sister but Mrs. Stevens used to be his babysitter before he grew out of it so he always had a soft spot in his heart for her.

"Yeah, glee club ended early so I decided to pick up the squirt."

"Hey, I heard that!" Annie yelled running over to her brother and giving him a quick hug. After saying their goodbyes, the two of them made their way to his car and drove home. Annie and Puck dropped their bags near the door before making themselves at home. Puck quickly changed into more comfortable clothes and went back downstairs to hear the television already on.

"Let's make a deal, get your homework done first then you can watch TV k?" Annie pouted but when she saw that her brother wasn't budging she turned off the TV with a sigh before making her way towards her backpack.

"Glad to see we're on the same page," Puck said as he made his way into the kitchen. He started putting together the ingredients to make bowtie pasta with pesto sauce. All throughout the night, he thought about how he would woo Rachel into even agreeing to date him.

"Noooahhhhh," his sister called out after dinner breaking his concentration. "Can you watch Cinderella with me?" He looked towards his sister and saw her giving him the puppy dog pout so he nodded because who could say no to that. They piled on the couch together once they washed all the dishes and turned on the DVD.

The next morning, Puck woke up earlier than usual. He casually put on a pair of jeans, a white v-neck shirt and his letterman jacket, the usual. Before getting into his car, he gave his mother and sister a kiss goodbye and then left. He drove to the 7-11 by school and picked up a grape slushy. If he wanted her to take him seriously then he would have to prove it to her. He walked into the school and headed towards the direction of her locker. She shut her eyes once she saw the slushy in his hand but it never came. She opened her eyes slowly to find that he was standing there with his signature smirk, slushy still in hand.

"Relax Berry I'm not going to throw it at you."

"Then what are you going to do with it?" she asked curiously.

"I bought it for you. I know grape is your favorite because the last time I threw one at you, you licked your lips before you cleaned yourself off." Rachel smiled slightly at the memory before looking back up at Puck.

"What are you trying to do here Noah?"

"I just wanted to see if you wanted to go out with me tonight," he asked smoothly. Rachel blinked a few times before the thought processed in her head. Noah wants to go out with me? This can't possibly end up too well. Thinking for a moment before answering, Rachel stared into his eyes and saw the beautiful green in his hazel eyes. Quickly shaking the image from her mind, she stood her ground.

"Why would I go out with you Noah? You have made it clear how much I make you want to light yourself on fire." Puck avoided her gaze; he was never going to live that down.

"Look Berry, you have no reason to trust me but I like you," he said. He felt kind of guilty for lying like this especially since Rachel wasn't that bad once you got to know her but he needed the money to support Quinn and the baby. Rachel looked at him and slowly nodded her head.

"Okay." He looked up at her surprised; he was sure that she was going to turn him down.

"Sweet, I'll pick you up at 7 tonight," he said quickly before leaving. Rachel stood at her locker looking at the direction Puck left. Before she could wrap her head around what happened, Brittany and Santana moved in front of her.

"Hey Rachel," Brittany smiled. Rachel smiled back and greeted her. Brittany was never bad to her; she just followed along with what Santana and Quinn did.

"Hey Rachel," Santana said. Rachel looked up at Santana, surprise clearly evident on her face. She was expecting some snide remark, or one of the numerous names they came up for her but what she saw was sincerity.

"Hi Santana. To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I know I've been a big bitch to you over the years and over the past couple of weeks I realized you're not as bad as I thought you were. Uhh, so I just wanted to say… um I'm not good on apologies but I'm really really."

"She's sorry and so am I," Brittany said covering up for her best friend. She knew Santana had a hard time with apologizing. Rachel looked at Brittany then over to Santana who was nodding her head. She smiled at them sincerely.

"It's okay. I've forgiven you guys a long time ago, you know that already."

"Yeah, but we've never actually said it. I'm sorry," Santana said. Rachel smiled.

"Friends?" Brittany and Santana said in unison.

"And I meant the real kind. Not the fake friends that we make in high school," Santana clarified. Rachel was shocked at their offer but nodded her head.

"But wouldn't Quinn be mad?"

"We're done with her," Santana said in a final tone.

"Yeah, she like totally treats us like crap and I know I'm not the smartest person but that's not how a friend should act," Brittany added. Rachel nodded and put her things in her locker.

"C'mon let's go to Spanish. Mr. Schue wants to talk to you," Santana offered. Santana and Brittany with Rachel in the middle made their way to Spanish. They glared at anyone who looked at them funny or even wondered why Rachel "The Freak" Berry was walking to class with two of the most popular girls in school.

"Forget about what anyone says," Brittany added. Rachel nodded her head and tried her best to walk with confidence. Puck watched the whole ordeal happen before his eyes unsure of what to think of the situation especially since they knew about the plan but weren't going along with it.

"I still can't believe you're doing this," Mike said.

"I need to," Puck said shortly.

"You know this is totally wrong right?" Matt added.

"And she'll hate you when she finds out."

"Look, I have to do this okay! I don't really care about what Berry thinks of me." Puck slammed his locker shut and made his way out to the school parking lot. Truthfully, he was scared of what Rachel would think of him when she found out but when she knew the reason, she had to forgive him right?

"Rachel, can I talk to you in my office?" Mr. Schue asked Rachel once the bell rang. She looked towards Brittany and Santana who nodded their heads in agreement with Mr. Schue.

"Okay." They said their goodbyes and she followed Mr. Schue to his office.

"I'm sorry about yesterday. You're right Sectionals is in two weeks and we really do need to prepare for it. I know you're all for us working in a cohesive unit so I need to ask Rachel if you would reconsider your decision. Without you, we can't even compete." Rachel was well aware of the twelve member rule but she was still hurt.

"I don't know Mr. Schue; I was really hurt yesterday. Can I take some time to think about it?" Mr. Schue nodded and wrote a note excusing her tardiness for her next class. The rest of the day went pretty normally for Rachel until lunch. She wasn't welcome at the glee table that much she knew for sure. Santana and Brittany walked up to Rachel.

"Let's get out of here," Santana said. Rachel looked at them confused.

"We usually go out to lunch. The food here isn't that great," Brittany clarified. Rachel laughed and agreed. The three girls made their way to the school parking lot where Mike and Matt were waiting.

"Oh um, hi guys," Rachel said. She wasn't usually this shy around Mike and Matt but this was the first time she saw them outside of the choir room.

"Hey Rach," they said smiling at her. The nervousness she felt washed away as Mike and Matt included her in the conversation.

"Where are we going?" Rachel asked.

"Some diner a few blocks away but we're waiting for someone," Santana said. Rachel just nodded her head slowly afraid that it was Quinn and Finn they were waiting for. Just then, Puck came strolling out of the main doors of the school.

"Sup guys," Puck said making his way over to the group. His eyes landed on Rachel who was looking down blushing. His stomach twisted at the sight. "Hey Berry." Rachel looked up and smiled before responding with her own greeting.

"Alright let's go I'm hungry. This is the only day of the week Coach Sylvester lets us eat," Santana said. Everyone looked at the two girls and they just shrugged it off.

"K, you guys get into Matt's car and I'll take Rachel," Puck offered.

"Sure," Rachel said. He grabbed her hand and the two of them started making their way to his SUV.

"Wow, Noah. I didn't know your car was so nice," Rachel said while buckling her seatbelt in. Puck cracked his neck at the mention of his car.

"Thanks. It was a gift from my dad. The last thing I ever got from that bastard," he muttered.

"I'm sorry. That's obviously a rough topic; you don't need to elaborate." Puck just shrugged.

"He's been gone since I was 8. Once he found out that my mom was pregnant again he skipped out. Then all of a sudden seven years down the road I find this car sitting in my driveway."

"I'm sorry Noah," Rachel said placing a hand on his knee. He looked at the gesture and then turned back to face her and gave her a smile.

"Thanks Berry. We're here now surprised you made it all the way without talking too much," he joked. Rachel groaned and pulled her hand back.

"Way to ruin a moment Puckerman," she retorted back playfully. They both shared a real laugh between each other before meeting the rest of the group who was already seated.

"So Rach, what are you going to do about glee," Brittany asked. Rachel shrugged as she took her seat in between Santana and Puck.

"Well whatever you choose we'll be here for you," Matt said. She smiled at his offer and thanked him for being so kind to her.

"Yeah, they're a bunch of jerks," Mike added.

"Mmmhmm. Intentionally hurting someone over and over again is just shady," Santana said. Puck scoffed.

"Since when were you one to talk?"

"Hey, I admit it I'm a bitch but I'll never do it to someone who I consider a friend," she said looking at Rachel. She smiled back in response amazed at how truly nice everyone around the table was. The rest of the hour went by quickly as they enjoyed their lunch with casual conversation.

3:30 came quicker than she had expected but after the lunch she had, she knew that she was making the right decision. She stepped into the choir room and was greeted by all her new friends. Tina and Artie smiled at Rachel while the other four just ignored her presence.

"Welcome back Rachel," Mr. Schue said proudly.

"It's good to be back even if it's only been a day." The rest of glee rehearsal went by without a problem with the exception of Quinn, Finn, Mercedes and Kurt ignoring Rachel, Santana and Brittany.

"Alright guys, I think we've made tremendous improvement. I'll see you guys Monday, enjoy your weekend," Mr. Schue called out before leaving the room. Puck walked over to Rachel.

"I'll pick you up at 7. Wear something hot," he whispered in her ear. She blushed as the sensation ran through her body and nodded.

"Santana, Brittany I need your help," she said walking over to them. They agreed, and the three new friends got into Santana's car and drove to the mall to pick out an outfit.

Forgive me if there are grammatical errors, I was rushing to get this chapter finished. I'm going to the Monster Ball tonight so I didn't have time to read this over. REVIEW PLEASE :)
