Puck looked down at the letter in his hands. Just seeing her name made his heart feel funny, but it also made hime want to eat a brick and then punch a wall. He thought she loved him. He thought she would stay that day in the choir room. He wanted her to stay. Puck threw the letter onto the others and laid back onto the bed. I can't believe this. I mean, it's Quinn. The girl who spit out your heart and then stomped it into the earth. Gosh I miss her. Puck reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out a battered photo. It was a picture of Quinn from the reunion. Before Biff showed his ugly face in the halls. Puck's halls. He picked up the letter and reread it. Am I going to answer her? Of course you are dumbo! No, I should make her heart sorry! Like she made me feel! She already feels that way, she said so herself! Your right. Er, I'm right. I have to answer her.

Puck picked up his three letters and went into the rec room. He set down his letters and picked up the letter from Quinn and traced her signature. He was about to sit down at the desk to write back to her when someone yelled for him. "Puckerman!" Puck turned around to see General Hakstater. "Yes Ma'am." He answered, in position. "I have a job for you to do. Come with me." Puck looked back at his letters and picked them up. He tucked the ones from Beth and his mother in his right pocket. The letter from Quinn he tucked in front of his heart, with her picture.

"I need you, Sansfro, and Terry to clean out this back cupboard. It's a mess and we need more storage space. We have a new shipment coming in, and this is where will put them. Understood?" "Yes Ma'am!" the three soldiers answered. "Well then, get to work!" The three of them made haste to clean out the cupboard. Puck was working fastest, this might be his only free time for the next three days, and he really wanted to get his replies out today.

After about two hours, Hakstater came back. She assessed their work and allowed them to go. "Good work, boys." She said as Puck walked back into the rec room to write. He first wrote to his mom, and then Beth. He added a note for Jake, asking if the food at Columbia University was any good. He also added a note to Shelby, asking her about when she saw Quinn.

Now, for the hard part. What am I going to say? Puck asked himself. But when he picked up the pen, he knew what she wanted to hear. Just speak from the heart.

Dear Quinn,

Wow. I am truly at a loss for words at this one. You always threw me for a loop, but this?

This is something else Quinn. It's great to hear from you again. Really great. Just seeing

your hand writing takes me back. Can you believe its been five years? Yet when I

think of you, its like no time has passed. I still feel 'butterflies' (Yeah, us guys get them too)

and feel a small bit of anger and sadness from when you left. I'm not gonna lie Quinn.

When you left, I was-well no words can describe how I felt. Miserable. Cheated. Foolish.

I thought you would stay. After everything, but no. Let's not talk about the heavy stuff

yet though. It's great to hear about you and the Corcorans! Great to have you back.

I go on leave next Thursday. Maybe we could get together then? Do some more catching

up? Maybe have a play date with Beth! I can see it now. us at the park, together, with our Beth.

Shelby won't have to worry about us taking the baby now though (Right?). I hope to see

you soon.

Love Forever,

Noah

Puck read over his letter. He wrote extra carefully, not risking one mistake. His handwriting almost looks as good as Quinn's. Not as girly, but just as carefully written. As if they both wanted to make a good first impression at their new job. Except it wasn't for a job, it was for each other. And somehow they both knew that this time, they wouldn't be declined.

Authors Note: I am most likely going to write another chapter. I have had this idea for a while, and finally decided to write it. Please review and tell me what you think!
