"That was such a great job Quinn," Finn exclaimed while giving Quinn a huge hug.

"I couldn't have done it without. You're like my rock, and I could never thank you enough. Despite all of our fights, you still love me. And that's the best thing someone could ever do for me," said Quinn.

Finn knew how to be supportive. He was so supportive of Rachel when they were together and even after they broke up. That was Finn's best quality. Being able to be supportive of the people he cared about.

"Alright, you two love birds you can cut it out," said Artie while Finn and Quinn were kissing.

After Artie's remark, they broke apart and went back to their seats. Rachel and Puck were thinking the same exact thing. Why couldn't they have that? It seemed like every guy Rachel had a relationship with, ended up breaking her heart, or wanted to change her. She was Rachel Berry, and nobody would change that. She loved her life. After all, she did risk everything for it. She left everything she knew, and moved to a new city with only two people she knew. Sure, she was a star on stage, but it seemed like nobody really cared about her when she wasn't on stage. Santana was normally at the hospital, and Kurt was normally out shopping or designing new clothes. She just wanted someone to hold her at night, and make her feel beautiful. She had felt that when she was with Finn, but it just seemed like it never really was going to work out. Even though Noah always had his bad reputation, he had that soft side that not a lot of people normally saw. Rachel saw it, and Quinn had seen it with Beth, but Noah never wanted to get close to people, if they were just going to run away once they got to know him, just like his dad had. Rachel knew about this, because even before they had become a couple, Noah would tell her everything, because he trusted her, which was hard for him to do. He trusted her because he knew that she wouldn't go running to her friends and tell them everything, like normal gossiping teenage girls would do. That was what Puck liked best about Rachel, about how he could tell her anything and she wouldn't judge him for it. Maybe he had made a mistake by not running to New York with her. But when he got his football scholarship to Nebraska, she told him that there was no way that she was going to let him let this offer go to waste.

Rachel was interrupted with her thoughts by Santana who kept on saying her name.

"Oh, I'm sorry, what did you say Santana?"

"Well, before I had to say your name a million times and wave my hand in front of your face, I was asking you if you wanted to go outside and talk. I was going to light up a cigarette."

"How many times do we have to have this talk Santana? NO MORE CIGARETTES!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It just with the whole being back here and being with people I haven't seen in six years, and the whole you and Puckerman issue, it's very stressful."

"Well that is no excuse, and what do you mean by mine and Noah's issue? We are friends and that is it!"

"Uh huh sure Rachel, just like you were just friends when you got disappointed that he got the same thing that you guys used to get at Breadstix's, and when you looked at him like you were thinking that you might have said a mistake by rejecting him. I know both you and Puckerman, and he totally has the hots for you and you have the hots for him! You would have to be totally blind to not notice it! I'm sure if you asked anyone here, they would say that they knew that you liked each other."

"That's just a bunch of non sense Santana. Anyways, I don't make it that obvious when I like a person. Wait, do I?"

"Oh, please honey, I can read you like a freaking book! Just go over there to Puckerman and tell him how you feel!"

"That would be totally childish Santana! And now if you would excuse me, I will be going to the ladies room and I better not come back out here and find you smoking!"

"Okay whatever mom!"

Rachel then turned around and starting walking to the bathroom. All Santana could think of, was to tell Finn. She had tried her part, and now it was up to Finn to try his end of the deal.

"Yo, Hudson!"

Finn then turned his head so his focus was on the Latina who was calling his name. Santana then walked closer to him.

She then whispered into his ear, "It's not working! I think she is worried that he doesn't like her back so now it's your turn to try to convince Puck."

"Alright on it," Finn responded to Santana. Finn then turned to Puck who was in the middle of a conversation with Mr. Schue.

"Excuse me, Mr. Schue but I need to bring Puck outside with me to have a talk. We have to talk about, ummmm ummmm, me wanting to work here!"

"Be my guest Finn, we were just finishing up with our conversation anyways," Mr. Schue responded.

Puck then got up from his seat walking behind Finn, knowing that there was a different reason why Finn wanted to talk to him. As soon as they got outside of the bar, Puck couldn't take it anymore and wanted to know the real reason.

"Hey man, what's up?"

"Okay so you know that I know Rachel really well, right?"

Puck gave Finn a nod.

"Well, okay so you guys need to get back together."

"Thank you captain obvious why do you think I sang her that song earlier?"

"I don't know man, but seriously you guys need to make up otherwise Santana will probably kick both of our asses."

"Yeah I know, wait… why would Santana kick our asses?"

"Well, okay, you can't tell her I told you this, but we kinda had a plan made before the reunion to bring you guys back together. Santana had called Quinn with the idea and I couldn't say no to Quinn."

"Man, dude you are whipped. Well, anyways, I appreciate the effort man," Puck said, patting Finn's right shoulder.

"Just listen to me man. I know Rachel just as well as you do. Can't you tell that she's hurting? Like something she wants but can't have, and Rachel normally gets what she wants. That thing that she wants is you man," Finn said by pointing his finger at Puck.

"I don't know man. It's been six years since I last saw her, and a lot has changed. Beth is already in second grade, why would Rachel want to be with a loser like me?"

Luckily, Shelby moved back to Lima a year after Puck came back to Lima so he saw Beth a lot. He would babysit Beth whenever Shelby needed it, and he often saw her on the weekends and he loved it. But most of the time when girls found out he already had a kid, they ran. Puck just started to believe that he really was a Lima Loser.

"Rachel doesn't care about that. She loves kids, and you know that wouldn't matter with her. Rachel is like a diamond. It can sometimes be hard to tell which girls are fake and real, but Rachel is the real deal. She sparkles in the spotlight, and can be hard to break. And that's what you need man. Don't just think about what Rachel needs, also think about what you need."

"Thanks, man. I guess I just needed someone to tell me what I was feeling was real and I wasn't just making it up in my head."

"Good job man! Now go in there and get your girl!"
