I do love reviews, y'know =) If I could give all my reviewers a big cookie each, you know I would, but I don't want anyone to be caught taking candy from a stranger.

Scarlett's excitement at the beginning of this based on me after seeing Hair the musical for the first time (live in England? See it before it closes in September, I implore you.)

'Oh my God, that was so... I don't know, that was just... stunning! And Rachel Berry was... Oh God, I could just drown in her voice; it's like chocolate!' Scarlett babbled as she and Noah exited the theatre. 'You know?'

'Yeah...' Puck smiled down at her. 'So, I thought we could head to Mercury for drinks, unless you wanted to get straight home?'

'That sounds great!' she absent-mindedly stroked his arm.

'Awesome,' he took her hand and started to lead her down the street, but she resisted. 'What's up?'

'We have to stage-door first!' she said as though it was obvious. 'I wanna meet Rachel Berry!'

'Oh. Oh, right,' Puck had tried his hardest to forget that the girl he was watching was Rachel, and it had actually worked okay, but face to face with her, well, he didn't know what he'd do. Fuck it, Scarlett was his girlfriend and she wanted to, he'd have to deal with it and just... keep his mouth shut. 'Fine, let's go.' Scarlett grinned and dragged him round to the side of the theatre, where a crowd of teenage girls had already assembled.

Half an hour later

'She'll be out any minute now,' a shivering Scarlett said excitedly as she huddled inside Puck's jacket. 'It'll be worth it. Thanks for waiting with me, baby.'

'It's fine. I can think of a couple ways you can make it up to me later.' He rested his chin on top of her head.

'You got that right,' she leaned up to kiss him, but cit it off when she heard the other fans start to scream. 'Ohmigosh, it's her! It's Rachel Berry!'

It took another ten minutes for Rachel to pass through the crowd and get to them, and when she did Puck could swear he heard his own heart beating in his ears.

'Hi Rachel!' Scarlett said excitedly, handing over her playbill and a sharpie. 'You were amazing tonight!'

'Oh, thank you so- - much, uh...' Rachel's eyes widened as she glanced up and her eyes locked with Puck's. 'D-did you... uh, did you enjoy the show?'

'Oh my gosh, so much! It was just... right, Noah?'

'Mm...' He handed Rachel his playbill, his face growing hot as he made sure his hand didn't touch Rachel's. 'It was good.'

'I'm glad...' Rachel could barely manage a smile as she signed inside the playbill.

'Could I get a picture with you?' Scarlett asked.

'Of course...' Rachel posed, forcing a smile as Puck took a picture, allowing her eyes to flicker to him for a fraction of a second, to see him staring pointedly down at the camera.

'Thanks so much!' Scarlett waved to her as she handed Puck his playbill and turned to the other fans, not without a last glance at Puck.

In the bar

'She's just so friendly! So nice, and down to earth, and so pretty! Right?'

'Mmm...' Puck took a gulp of his drink.

'I gotta visit the little girl's room, quickly, honey, will you look after my stuff?'

'Sure, beautiful.' She grinned at him and hurried off. Puck sighed and drained his drink, picking up his so far unopened playbill. He flipped absent-mindedly to the cast list, where Rachel had signed. His eyes were drawn to the few words under her signature.
