Hello, I know that I have another story that I should be focusing on but this was something that was supposed to be a one shot, but it will be too long to have as a one shot so I will be dividing it in to 9 parts, this first part is kind of an prologue and then the next eight parts will be one day/night for Hanukkah.

I would love for all of you let me know what you think of this.

The fact that I will get is from what Wikipedia or me googling things to make sure that it's somewhat correct, because I'm not Jewish, and I have taken a bit of liberty with the dates, this year the first day of Hanukkah would fall on December 20 but that didn't fit with my story so for me Hanukkah starts on December 16.

Disclaimer: I don't own Glee or any of the songs that will be used in this story.

Once again I would love to know what you think of this, and feel free to point out any mistakes that I can change so that it will be better.

My Only Wish

[1/9]

Rachel couldn't be happier than she was right now, well that was a lie, and there was one thing that was going to do this year so much better than last year or the year before that. And Rachel had just one wish this year form Hanukkah, even if she had eight days of presents, and it was starting in a couple of days, and this year she had one wish, and one wish only, she wanted someone to be there for her, she wanted a real boyfriend, one that would understand and love her for who she was, and not wanting to change everything about her. A boy that was supportive, she had broken up with Finn, and it was over a month ago and the boy had moped around for a while before he had decided to move on start to chase after some other poor girl, but so far he hadn't had any luck.

She knew that there was one boy at William McKinley High School that was living up to the things that she wanted from a boyfriend but she was sure that he would never take a second look at her, Sam Evans.

Sam Evans was Rachel's only wish this year.

Rachel had never in her whole life really celebrated Christmas, it was due to the fact that one of her fathers, Hiram, was Jewish and they most of the time choose to celebrate Hanukkah instead of Christmas and once again, Mr. Schuester just like last year had decided that they were going to have a Christmas theme the last week of school for this semester in Glee.

"Mr. Schue," Rachel said as she stood up and looked at the teacher.

"yes, Rachel," the teacher said as he looked at her, he was shaking his head, not in a big way, it was more like he was thinking not again, "what can I do for you," he was very close to run his hands though his hair, Rachel was one of the few students could really get to him.

"I think that you should have written something else on the board," Rachel said as she walked up to the whiteboard where Mr. Schuster had written Christmas, in big red letters.

"Rachel Christmas is the last theme for this semester and you know that," Mr. Schuester said and looked the short brunette, Rachel looked around in the room, and she could see that Noah wasn't really paying attention to what they were talking about, she had a feeling that he felt neglected in the same way that she did.

"But not all of us is celebrating Christmas," Rachel said and she took one of the whiteboard pens and crossed over Christmas and she wrote Holiday instead, Rachel loved some of the classic Christmas songs and hymns that was sung in church this time of the year but that didn't mean that she wanted to celebrate Christmas and sing the songs that was so closely connected to another religions holiday like Christmas was, she would sing a song if she found one that she thought was good enough.

"Mr. Schue," Puck said and he got up from the his seat and he walked over to Rachel and placed an arm over her shoulders, "I agree with Berry," the football player said and turned his head to the teacher, "as a Jew I can't sing some Holy Night shit,"

"Noah," Rachel said and elbowed him in the side, "what he is trying to say is that we should include other kind of songs that you can sing this time of the year."

"There is no other songs out there that you can sing," both Rachel's and Puck's eyes whined when they heard the teacher say that, they looked at each other and they nodded their heads and Puck walked over and grabbed a guitar, Rachel had walked over to Brad, the piano man and she had told him what song they were going to do.

Puck started to strum his guitar, and both of the started to sing, they had deiced that the only way for them to let group now that this was a holiday song for them was to dived the song up, to both sing in Hebrew and English, this had been one of the first songs that they had learned when they had attended temple as kids.

"Sevivon, Sov, Sov, sov," the two of them sang together as they were looking at the rest of the group, the couldn't believe that Mr. Schue hadn't believed them when they were telling him that they needed some more songs to sing and that there were other songs than the ones that he had told them that they were going to sing, "Chanukah Hu Chang Tov."

Puck and Rachel were looking at each other and they were just smiling when they were singing, and the best part was the look on their friends faces, the only ones that was looking like they were enjoying Rachel's and Puck's singing was Brittany, but she always loved when someone was singing and Sam, it was not something that Rachel had believed that he would.

"Chanukah Hu Chang Tov." The two of them sang and they danced around a little, "Sevivon, Sov, Sov, Sov."

Puck continued on to play the guitar before they started on the next verse of the song this time they had chosen to sing in English so that the group would know what they were singing about.

Rachel was the first one to sing, "It's a joyous holiday for the nation," Rachel looked at Puck who took over the singing for a couple of seconds.

"A great miracle happened there," Puck was singing and the two of them were rocking out to the song, and the look on the faces of the rest of the group when they changed language was hilarious.

The last part of the song was something that they sang together, "A great miracle happened there, it's a joyous holiday for the people."

"And I think that we have a thank you to say to Puck and Rachel for showing us that there is other songs out there for all of you to sing," Mr. Schuester said as he walked up next to them and he patted Puck on the back, Rachel walked back to her seat and sat down she was shaking her head.

Rachel noticed that someone was tapping her on the shoulder and she turned around to see who it was, and she saw the blonde boy that was sitting to the left behind her smiling, right at her, and Rachel looked down on her lap with a shy smile, and she put a lock of her hair behind her ear.

"I think that was awesome," Sam said and Rachel opened her mouth a little, and she had the tip of her tongue between her teeth as she smiled at him.

"It was about a dreidel and that Hanukkah is a pretty nice holiday," Rachel said and looked at Sam.

"I don't know what that is," Sam said and looked at Rachel, Rachel could tell that he was a bit confused about what Rachel was talking about, "the only time I ever heard about a driedel was when that song was on South Park."

Rachel raised her hand to cover up the smile that was on her face, but her eyes were sparkling, "I thought that was the song that Noah wanted us to sing," she confessed when she looked at Sam.

"I should totally sing that song tomorrow," Sam said and he made his way down from his seat so that he was sitting next to Rachel, "and maybe you can teach me something about Hanukkah."

"Are you sure?" Rachel asked quietly as she looked at the boy, Sam nodded his head, and as he did that Mr. Schuester dismissed them so that they could leave.

"You know," Sam said as he took Rachel's hand and walked with her to her locker where he stayed as she gathered her things together, "if I sing a Hanukkah song you should sing a Christmas song, but you now you don't have to do one of those they sing in church." Rachel had a smile the whole time she listened to Sam.

He continued on talking as they were walking out of the school, Rachel started to walk over to the yellow school bus; she almost always took the bus home these days.

"You are taking the bus?" Sam asked when he noticed where Rachel was going, the short brunette nodded her head as she looked up at him, "I'll give you a ride and you can tell me more about this Hanukkah thing."

"That sounds nice," Rachel said and she walked with Sam to his car, he had borrowed the car for the day, he had been late getting to school and that was the only reason to why he was having the car.

"So when is this Hanukkah?" Sam asked as he started the car and left the school and he smiled at Rachel when she started to tell him about when Hanukkah was and what they were supposed to do for the different days.

"The first day is actually tomorrow," Rachel said and she was gesturing with her hands as she was talking to him, "and the first day is just a nice night with the family, we play some board games and lit the first candle and then there are some small gifts too."

"Right, it's like eight day of Christmas for you," Sam said and Rachel shook her head.

"Not really," Rachel said as they stopped in front of her house, "I will teach you what Hanukkah is about during these eight days and after that I will sing a Christmas song that I want to in Glee to show that I understand what most people here in Lima are celebrating and you will sing that dreadful driedel song."

"Yes," Sam said and nodded his head, and he shook Rachel's hand, "that is an agreement and don't try and get away from it."

"Never," Rachel said and she climbed out of the car, she turned around and she was surprised to see Sam standing there right behind her.

"I forgot to give you this," Sam said and he placed his arms around Rachel's waist and he pulled her in for a hug, and as he let his arms loosen the grip around her he placed a small kiss on her cheek, "and I will see you in school tomorrow."

Rachel nodded her head, she raised her hand and placed it on the cheek where Sam had kissed her, and she watched him walk away and just as he sat down in the car against he waved at her, and Rachel did the same.
