Noah was driving Rachel, Brittany and Mercedes home, following them behind were Quinn and Finn in Kurt's car, and Santana had promised to come join them at Rachel's as soon as she had spoken with Artie. Noah glanced in his mirror to check on the girls behind him, Rachel and Mercedes were both trying to comfort the blonde cheerleader who was still crying uncontrollably, he noticed Rachel wince in pain every time she tried to move her arm, without thinking she slammed on the brakes and turned to face the girls
"Babe, show me your arm" Rachel lifted her arm for him to see, it was swollen and puffy and looked disgusting, "right hospital"
"Noah, there's no need its just a sprain, I'll wrap it up when I get home" Rachel looked at his face and could tell he wasn't convinced so she crept forward and whispered into his ear and stroked his Mohawk gently, Mercedes found herself straining to listen in but all she could hear was "baby" and "that thing you like" she mentally shuddered thanking her lucky stars she hadn't overheard everything.
When they arrived at Rachel's Noah went and let himself in, the girls were following at a much slower rate
"Noah," Rachel's father greeted him and shook his hand "I was wondering if you would be becoming a regular occurrence again" he smiled
"Yea, Rachel's outside with Brit and Mercedes, there was a thing…." He turned to the front door and Rachel's dad took one look at the 3 girls and rushed towards them and wrapped his arms round them and escorted them to the sofa.
In between tears and sobs and whimpers they managed to explain to Joe Berry, what had happened, as he listened to them he nodded in all the right places and uttered the right words of comfort and when they'd reached the end of the woeful tale, he ordered Rachel to go strap her wrist and put some ice on it before things got any worse, he pointed out the phone to Mercedes and told her she was welcome to stay the night if she wanted to but she would need to call her parents and then he pulled Brittany into his arms and said, he was going to go and see her parents and explain what had happened.
Mercedes dialled her parents number and apparently the school had already rang to explain about the glee club events "Mr. Schue she thought to herself, but her parents were cool because of that, so she settled down next to Brittany
"You know, we could start thinking about operation Kurt and Mike," she said hoping that would cheer the sad blonde up, she thought right. Immediately her face lit up
"we could call it operation Kirk, or Humchan, chanel" she paused and then nodded "yup operation Chanel, get it Chan for Chang and the el for Hummel" she looked at Mercedes and the both burst out laughing.
As they laughed Rachel was in the bathroom trying to bandage up her wrist but it hurt too much, there was a knock on the door and Puck walked in holding a bag of frozen peas, he pressed them to her wrist and gentled pushed her so she was sitting instead of standing
"I've missed you," he whispered kissing
"I've not been anywhere silly" she replied pulling him closer with her good arm, "but I am glad that we stopped being so stupid" "hey where do you think your going?" she asked as Noah got up and moved across the bathroom
"I'm just locking the door" he smirked at her face, he swept across the room and picked her up, loving the way her legs wrapped around his waist, then her lips started attacking his, he backed up so she was against the wall
"Ouch," she stopped kissing him and looked at her arm, Noah laughed apologetically and gently lowered her to the ground
"When that arm's healed, we'll continue this," he said kissing her gently.
When Rachel and Noah returned to the living room they were greeted with catcalls and whooping courtesy of the group of teens that had appeared in the living room, Rachel immediately started blushing and ducked slightly behind her boyfriend to try and regain her composure, Noah just laughed and dropped into a spare armchair pulling his girlfriend onto his lap trying to avoid hurting her wrist.
"Rach, we've decided to call it Operation make Chanel a reality" Brittany squealed
Quinn laughed at Rachel's bemused expression "Aretha explain what was decided whilst she was getting it on with Puck in the bathroom"
"No no we weren't" Rachel stuttered, "Noah tell them, you were just helping me with my wrist"
"Yea, sorry to disappoint gleeks, but until that arm gets better, I think iv been black listed" he smirked until he saw his girlfriends horrified expression and immediately apologised "sorry baby" causing the group to laugh hysterically at bad ass Puck back pedalling.
"Anyway" Mercedes cut through the laughter, "because everything seems sorta tense and bad, we need to do something to make things better so we are going commence operation Chanel"
Brittany chimed in" Get it Chan for Chang and the el for Hummel". Everyone started to laugh
"Dudes, I'm really not comfortable with trying to get to guys together, I mean Mike is gonna kill us for interfering" Finn said
"Yea, he's got a point, all this operation shit," Puck added "Why not lock them in a closet, let them do the nasty then it's done" Puck leaned over to Finn for a high five
"Boy's if that is your opinions well you can go get us some takeaway and leave us ladies to discuss things" Rachel said, getting up and grabbing some money off the counter and handing it to her boyfriend, and kissing him gently, then she started pushing him and Finn out of the door, once they'd gone and the door had clicked shut behind them, the girls started animatedly discussing strategies for operation Chanel, it had barely been 1 minute before the door flung open and Puck strutted in
"Sorry guys, I forgot something, Rach, come here a sec" he waited until she reached him and then he pulled her into his arms kissing her and dipping her towards the floor
"Love you baby" he straightened her up, kissed her gently and with that he was gone again.
"Love is in the air" Brittany began to sing and one by one the girls all started singing, sat together on sofa smiling happily
"Guys, we need to focus" Quinn said breaking the moment "Operation Chanel" and with that the group descended into a deep focus, that you expect to find at the united nations not a teenage girl sleepover.
