Puck never watched a romantic comedy in his entire life. If anything, a car crashing was far more interesting than seeing Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds making out. So that was probably why he realized a little too late that he was going down a dark path when he set into motion the following events.

Taking Rachel home was harder than it would seem. She was tripping everywhere and so he had to stop halfway to her car to let her sit down. Luckily there was a bench so he sat her down. He had been getting a lot of fun flashes up her skirt and was wondering internally if the girl knew how to wear anything else. But he didn't think about this long because she kept having problems sitting upright. Catching her, he had to steady her and only until he was holding the small of her back up while they sat down was she actually balanced. She looked at him sideways and smiled a little.

"You know? You're eyes are shiny," she said, and leaned forward a little, and before he knew what was happening, she was lying with her head on his lap, making him almost jump off the bench in surprise. He had to help her back to her feet, telling her over and over that it was probably best that she not fall asleep. So he took her back to her car and set her in the passengers seat. Driving back, he had to listen to her singing loudly to one of her favorite musicals, and couldn't help but smile a bit when she smiled at him.

"I want to do this," she said, pointing at the CD player.

"What?"

"Install car radios. Go on Broadway. My dad would just love that," she said sarcastically and Puck looked at her sideways. They pulled up in front of her house and he turned off the car. Rachel laid her head back against the headrest and looked at him. He could tell that she was still really wasted.

"You know what? You're not as vile as I thought you were," she said, and Puck took that to be a complement. Then again, coming from Rachel Berry that really must have counted for something. But before he knew what was happening, she was leaning in for a kiss. Turning to face the front, he automatically let the first thing that came to his mind spill out. A total moment of uncoolness that had immediate results.

"We shouldn't do that."

Rachel straightened up and stared at him, embarrassed and bewildered and before he could bite his tongue she was getting out of the car and slamming the door. He watched her march up to her front door, slamming it behind her. If Noah Puckerman had ever watch a chick flick in his entire life, he would have been so ashamed of himself. His only assurance that this would be all forgotten is the thought that Rachel wouldn't remember anything that had happened the next day. Getting out of her car and leaving the keys in the glovebox, he got into his truck and took off into the night in a perpetual state of mourning over his own stupid cliché panic attack.


While Puck had made a total ass of himself in front of Rachel, Finn was actually having much better luck. He drove Quinn all the way to her house in silence. Parking he looked sideways at her and expected her to just get out of the car. Then suddenly he had to ask her something quickly.

"You never wanted to go out with me, did you?"

"I… Of course I did," she replied hesitantly, looking away.

"No you didn't. God, I went through all of his crap! I told everyone that there was no way that she could be that conceded, that she would appreciate the trouble I went through. But apparently I was wrong. You are the bratty little princess everyone made you out to be," Finn said, and Quinn looked at him sideways, seeing that he was really flush. His entire night was coming crashing down on the car and she did the only thing she knew how to do to make him stop. She liked him, she was stupid. So leaning over, she pulled his face towards hers in a sudden short kiss and pulling back, she opened the car door. Finn just stared at her as she closed the door and walked away in silence, smiling to herself as she went. Finn looked back at the steering wheel.

"Score…"


Mercedes Jones and Tina C were sitting together in the cafeteria when Rachel suddenly appeared before them. They had not be present at the party, but the rumors were already spreading everywhere. They looked at her in anticipation.

"Did you really go with Noah Puckerman?"

"T-That guy is h-h-hot," Tina said, Rachel giving them the glare of death.

"He's an asshole."

"What happened?"

"Can you believe this? I was totally wasted and so he drove me home. I thought everything was going great and so I tried to kiss him."

"And?"

"'We shouldn't do that.'"

"Y-You're kidding!" Tina exclaimed and Mercedes made a loud shocked noise.

"That boy ain't right. Or he's gay."

"I couldn't believe it either! I am so mad. He made me look like a complete and total idiot!" Rachel said, hitting the table with a fist and sitting back in it.

"W-What are you g-g-going to do?" Tina asked, opening a package of peanuts.

"I don't know, what does a girl do when the only guy who seems to show any interest suddenly isn't interested?"

"This totally sucks," Mercedes said, patting Rachel on the hand.

"I know, right? What do you guys think I should do?"

"W-Why n-n-not make him ex-explain himself?" Tina asked and Mercedes scoffed at her.

"Please, he'll just make up some dumb excuse. When you see him, just blow him off, or throw something at him."

Rachel nodded and sat back in her chair, fixing her skirt.

"I'm going to make him wish he were never born."


"I thought you wanted to call this whole thing off?" Puck asked, sitting across from Finn on the practice field.

"I did, but then she kissed me."

"Where?" Puck asked, giving him a bit a leer.

"In the car," Finn replied, smiling and Puck rolled his eyes. Artie suddenly came towards them on the field.

"What is the what?"

"Apparently, Tina said that Rachel now hates you with the passion of a thousand burning suns and if you come near her she's going to throw something at you," Artie reported, fixing his glasses. Puck ran his hand through what little hair he had.

"I can't believe she even remembers anything, she was completely out of it."

"Well apparently Tina believes that you should watch out, she's angrier than ever," Artie warned.

"Maybe you can just let her cool down for a few days," Finn suggested and before they knew what was happening, a baseball went flying right past them, narrowly missing Puck's head. Rachel was standing on the field with the other girls who were tossing balls to each other.

"M-Maybe a little longer than that," Puck whispered, staring at Rachel as she went back to practice.


- Quick update, this is just a segway into the next part of the story. I know everyone is looking forward to seeing Puck singing (I want a moment like that someday...) swoon. Remember everyone, hell hath no fury like a woman who is told "we shouldn't do that." Thanks for reading!
