Emma Pillsbury wandered through her local grocery store, wincing now and again over the fresh fruit and vegetables that were haphazardly scattered around. As she tried to locate a potato that wasn't caked in mud, she involuntarily shuddered as on old man, who had just been scratching his nose beforehand, examined almost five parsnips before choosing one to buy.

Emma stared at the vegetables, absolutely horrified. This was something that she was never going to be able overcome. Therapy was going well, actually, but shopping in this way had always been an issue. Yes, she understood that people wanted the best carrots and the best cucumbers, but did that mean that they had to handle hundreds before they found one that was no different from the rest?

With a shiver, Emma reached for a pre-packed container of potatoes, promised to wash her hands thoroughly when she made it home alive, and bumped into someone as she attempted to run away from the germs. Their hand baskets collided, onions and cabbages tumbling all over the place, and before she knew it, she was sitting awkwardly on the floor, a mound of vegetables in her lap and a furious blush on her cheeks.

"I'm so sorry, I- Emma?"

The voice was hard to forget, and with a quick adjustment of her hair, Emma looked up at the person towering over her, an amused smile on his face. "C-Carl? Hi!" She attempted to stand, but Carl, ever the gentleman, held out his hand and carefully pulled her up, helping to brush off some of the imaginary dirt from her clothes. "Thank you," she breathed, taking five seconds to catch her breath, "I'm sorry that I bumped into you, I was having a vegetable crisis."

Carl shook his head with a broad grin. "Don't worry about it. How are you doing? I haven't seen you in a while, and-"

"Oh my God!" Emma shrieked, interrupting him and warranting a look of concern on Carl's face.

He glanced around them, his eyes widening. "What is it? Are you hurt?"

She pointed at his chest and gasped. "Is that a Rocky Horror t-shirt?"

Carl looked down at the infamoous red lips and grinned. "Yeah, it is," he laughed. "Jeez Emma, you scared me there for a second. I'm guessing you're a fan?"

Emma nodded timidly with a tiny, bashful smile. "A huge fan."

The two of them stood amongst the broccoli for a minute, simply smiling at each other, until Carl took a deep breath and decided to bite the bullet. "Did you want to go for lunch together somewhere? I can talk about Rocky Horror until I'm blue in the face."

Emma felt her heart jump in her chest, but she wasn't exactly sure what that meant. She was dating Will now, but still, that didn't mean she couldn't be friends with Carl, right? She briefly thought about the roles being reversed, about Will being just friends with Terri, but she ignored the jealousy and decided to go for it; she needed to be more impulsive anyway.

"Sure, it's astounding isn't it?"

Carl flashed her an award winning smile as he rolled his eyes, and took her basket in his hands. "It is indeed. Let's go and buy our veg and then we can get going."

Glee!

Puck banged his head against his bedroom wall in frustration; his summer was turning out to be the worst one ever, even though it should have been a blast. Why? Quinn Fabray, that's why. He'd thought that they'd be spending their time together doing all kinds of awesome shit (he'd totally been planning to seduce her into sleeping with him again), but he'd gone and fucked that up; who knew he was actually a Lima loser after all?

With nothing left to do, he decided to be a dweeb and resort to Facebook, 'cause there were always a bunch of bored people wasting their time farming crops and answering quizzes and stuff. He fired up his ancient computer, kicked it a couple of times for good measure, then logged onto the site, trying his best not to creep on Quinn's page (he would save that for later when he needed something to jerk off to).

Noah 'Puck' Puckerman is having a pretty shitty summer FYI. Any of you losers wanna get your asses kicked on COD?

Mike stared at his laptop screen with a hopeless longing that he couldn't place. Actually, scratch that, he could place it alright; Tina. He wasn't sure when his 'Tina's pretty cute' crush had become a 'Tina's the love of my life' kind of thing, but it had happened, and there wasn't much he could do about it.

Was it wrong that he'd enjoyed her argument with Artie a little too much? He was a great guy and everything, but Mike was positive that he could make Tina happy, given the chance and all.

He needed to put things in motion, even if it was just online.

Mike Chang - Tina Cohen-Chang

'Hi Tina, it's Mike. I'm volunteering at an Asian summer camp for a few weeks, and I was wondering if you wanted to come? It's good experience and it'll be fun? Let me know :)'

He left her a message on her Wall, and decided to log off, since he didn't need to be refreshing unhealthily until she replied. He was about to close the browser when a notification popped up, and he felt himself go dizzy (man up Chang!).

Tina Cohen-Chang I'd love to Mike! I don't have anything else planned. Will you message me all the details?

Right?

Glee!

Matt was feeling lousy. His dad had already made him pack up most of his belongings, and seeing his things in cardboard boxes... it killed him. He'd lived in his house since he was a baby, and not only did he have friends in the area, all of his memories of everything belonged inside the house that he was being kicked out of.

He'd been to see the new one. It was bigger and more spacious than their old house, it was in a good neighbourhood, and apparently his mom was going to let him get a dog as a compromise; as if that changed anything.

He had to tell the glee club, and honestly? That was going to be one of the worst parts, but not because they were going to miss him; he was pretty sure they wouldn't. If Finn announced he was moving away, he could imagine everyone throwing themselves in front of buses out of depression, but he was Matt Rutherford, the quiet kid; maybe they wouldn't even notice his absence.

Therefore, he decided not to do it face to face, because he couldn't bear to see the indifference of his friends. Next best thing? Facebook.

Tina Cohen-Chang Santana, don't you have anything better to do than be on Facebook all day long?

Santana Lopez I'm waiting for a booty call actually so STFU Chang.

Brittany Santana, don't speak to Tina like that! She almost died on vacation, so that means you have to be really nice to her, even if the goth look is lame now.

Brittany Oops, didn't mean to say that out loud.

Tina turned off her laptop with a mixture of a snarl and a sob. She wasn't sure why, but since they'd returned from vacation, Artie was distant and uninterested in her. Okay, so she didn't have much experience dating people, but she was sure that he was supposed to at least call her now and again, but he didn't even text her unless she made the effort to do so first.

Santana? Well, Santana was just being a bitch as usual, but she wasn't too bothered about that. No, she was bothered by the happiness she'd felt at Mike's invitation. She got along well with him, ever since the ballads assignment, and yes, some people would consider him to be 'hot', but she was dating Artie, she didn't think about things like that!

Much.

Tina hung her head in her hands. She felt like it was going to be a long, confusing summer.

Glee!

Santana was a girl with a mission; make Puck hers. The whole Quinn thing had gotten tremendously old, because seriously, he'd already knocked her up, and there was no way he'd want to risk it again.

When it came to Puck, Santana was strangely addicted to everything about him. She wasn't much for settling with one guy, but Puck? Well, she was willing to make an exception... probably. The sex was good, the banter was good, and hell, he was one of the finest guys in school; they were the hottest fuck buddies in Lima.

She had a problem though. She was used to one night stands and quick hook-ups, but when it came down to being faithful to one person, she wasn't even sure where to start; was it okay for her to approach him? She toyed with her cell in her hands, ready to invite him over for a morning make out session, but for just a second, Quinn's face popped into her head, because she knew that this was wrong. She was supposed to be the new and improved, compassionate Santana, and she knew that there was unfinished business between Puck and Quinn. They'd had a baby together, they'd attempted dating, and it was because of Santana that they'd split up. She knew that they needed space, and the chance to make things right again, and she knew that it was right to leave them to it, ignoring her own needs.

She wasn't going to do that though. She was trying to be nicer, but she wasn't going to be some selfless soppy idiot; she was Santana Lopez, and she always got her way, eventually.

'Puckasaurus, you busy? My bed is always open ;D'

Santana looked at the clock and frowned with annoyance, because Puck was running late (not that she'd specified an exact time, but booty calls were supposed to be available all times of the day, and were to appear when called for). It was nerve-wracking, waiting for the person she was about to admit her feelings for. She knew she had a weird relationship with Puck, but hell, didn't she with everyone? She'd slept with Brittany countless times, and now and again the two of them shared stolen kisses, but that was just for fun... right?

Santana didn't dwell on it. She was allowed to enjoy herself, and while she loved Britt as a friend, she wasn't sure if she loved her any more than that.

She shook her head, her ponytail shaking with her, and looked at the clock impatiently when she heard a frantic pounding on her front door. She couldn't hide the smirk from her face; Puckerman was always up for some. Thankfully, her parents were out at some couple counselling shit (like really, as if they could overcome their differences), which meant that Santana could hide her sinful ways as she'd always done. Okay, so she'd tried to make an effort with her mom and dad after the whole 'you're staying in your room forever!' debacle, and yeah, she could admit that since she'd tried to be civilised and nice, things had been a lot better.

Didn't mean she'd stop sleeping around though. No wait, that was a lie; she only wanted to sleep with Puck now, and that was at least some kind of progress.

She sauntered over to the door, opened it slowly, then gave Puck her most seducing smile (honestly, if she used that smile she could get pretty much anything from unsuspecting males) before ushering him inside. "You certainly took your time," she said sharply, though she was still smiling, because she was actually excited about spilling her guts out. "But whatever, you're just in time for the show."

Puck stuck his hands in his pockets, and with a purse of his lips, he looked straight down at his feet, rather than at Santana's boobs, which he did every time he came over. "We need to talk," he murmured, and the Latina felt like someone had just slapped her face several times. It wasn't because of the lame, clichéd phrase, but the way he said it, like he was going to tell her that he wasn't interested or something (pffft, yeah right).

"Oh good, because I totally need to talk with you too. Can I get you something to drink? I'm sure I can find my mom's 'secret' alcohol stash if I look hard enough." Santana headed into the living room, but was stopped by a firm, sweaty grip on her arm. She turned to look at him, and she felt her heart drop, because he wasn't even smiling; he looked conflicted.

"I'm not staying," he said briefly, still not meeting her eyes.

"You have somewhere to be?" Santana asked redundantly, because yeah, she knew that wasn't the reason; he was about to break her heart, wasn't he? If she had a heart still left to break.

"We can't do this anymore," he whispered, finally having the balls to look at her face, even if his gaze didn't linger for long. "I love Quinn, and yeah, I might actually die without sex but I want to give it a go with us... I mean Quinn, not you and me."

Santana pulled her arm out of his grasp and snarled. "Yeah dickweed, you don't need to spell it out for me." She put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes. "You're a fucking idiot Puckerman. Quinn doesn't want you, and if you ever do get her, she's never going to put out."

"It's not all about sex!" he yelled, throwing his hands in the air. "I love her!"

Santana wondered if Puck could hear the shattering noise in her chest, because for her, it was louder than anything she'd ever heard before. Yeah, she'd only just been made aware of her feelings for him, but it didn't make it hurt any less.

"So what am I, huh? Was I always just a piece of ass for you?"

Puck didn't even have the decency to try and deny it. Instead, he shrugged his shoulders and opened the front door, a frown on his face. "Have a good summer Santana." He slid out of the house like a slimy, skeezy snake, and Santana found herself throwing her weight against the door with a sob and a curse.

"Fuck you," she whispered as she cried into her hands. She gazed down numbly at her body, and wondered, with a sniffle and a new sense of determination, if Puck would want her if she had bigger boobs.

Rachel Berry *polite cough*

Glee!

Finn hated Rachel sometimes.

Shit, no, that was a lie, 'cause yeah, he'd get mad at some of her crazy suggestions, but he never actually hated her.

Maybe today was an exception though, 'cause he totally wasn't ready to deal with a drunk Puck. It wasn't like it was his first time, but with all the Quinn stuff, they still weren't best friends, not like they had been.

But that was okay. They were getting there, which was kind of cool, and now that he had Rachel for keeps, he was finding it a lot easier to forgive his friend because, at the end of the day, it wasn't like he'd slept with Rachel, right? Quinn was just a thing in the past, and weirdly, it didn't bother him anymore. Huh.

He banged on the door a few times, not that he expected a reply, and when he was sure he could hear a drunken rendition of I Will Always Love You coming from Puck's room, Finn decided to let himself in. The door was unlocked, which was a relief, and after pushing it open and calling out for his mom, he realised that Puck was home alone, which helped; she always got ultra pissed when Puck was, well, pissed.

"Puckerman?" Finn climbed the stairs warily, holding a cup of coffee in one hand, a bottle of water stashed in his jacket pocket.

"Dad, is that you?"

Finn rolled his eyes; some things never changed, like how drunk Puck would always mistake him for his dad. "No, it's Finn, Finn Hudson." He walked into Puck's room, and grimaced when he found the dude completely naked. "Great."

"Finny Deeeeeeee!" Puck slurred, a wobbly grin spreading across his face, "dude, I haven't talked to you in aaaaaages." He stood up, giving Finn an eyeful of his junk, and started walking towards him with his arms spread wide, though he stumbled and ended up falling over his own feet. "Hahaha, fuuuuck."

Finn placed the coffee on a small table, and with a wrinkle of his nose, he started rooting through Puck's dresser, trying to locate a pair of boxers or sweats or anything. "Here, put these on," he said with exasperation, tossing some pants at the naked guy on the floor. "You really had a vasectomy?" Finn asked, but he didn't really expect a coherent answer. "That's like, proper surgery, right? 'Cause aren't you... well, not supposed to drink after surgery?" Crap, he totally didn't need Puck to die, 'cause that would be all kinds of suckage.

"Like I give a..." He looked up at Finn in confusion as he bit his lip.

"Crap?" suggested Finn, to which Puck nodded.

"Right, like I give a CRAP what the..."

Finn rolled his eyes. "Doctors?"

"Like I give a crap what the doctors say. I'm..." He hung his head in his hands, which made him look really pathetic.

"You're a douche, but what's new? Come on, put on your sweats and you can have this coffee that I got you."

Puck nodded, but when it came to actually dressing himself, he had a lot of trouble, especially since he couldn't stop wincing and cursing and, while totally freaking Finn out, he let out a few tears. "I can't, it hurts."

Finn reiterated; he hated Rachel sometimes.

Man up Hudson, this guy used to be your best friend. He's just naked, and you just have to help dress him, without hurting his stuff, and you just have to make sure he doesn't pass out and die, alright?

Finn pulled the pants on slowly, and as he brought the fabric over Puck's groin, he was extra careful, 'cause he wasn't sure how much it actually hurt. A vasectomy involved something inside a guy, but did it mean that he was like, sore outside? Whatever, he didn't really wanna dwell on the state of Puck's dick for too long because it was embarrassing and wrong in so many ways.

"Here, drink this, but watch out 'cause it's hot." Finn handed Puck the cup of coffee, and his ex-best friend slowly sipped at it, making murmuring noises as he drank. Finn flopped against the bedroom wall, letting his head hang back as a sigh escaped his lips. While Puck was busy with his drink, Finn pulled his cell from his pocket.

'puck was naked and a mess; u owe me berry'

Not even a minute later, a message appeared on his screen.

'Don't worry about that Mr Hudson, I'm making sugar cookies as we speak. If I could pull it off, I'd tell you to expect a little sugar from me too, but we both know that I can't rock the cool, witty vibe. Rachel x'

Finn grinned like a lunatic because man, Rachel was all kinds of adorable.

'feel free to give me sugar anytime u want babe ;) x'

"Hudson." Finn looked away from his cell at across at Puck, who seemed to have sobered up amazingly quickly (was that all just an act? Whatever).

"Yeah?"

Puck looked awkwardly at him before he gave a small nod. "Thanks."

"No problem dude."

They didn't say much after that. Puck fell asleep on the floor, and Finn, not wanting to abandon the guy, decided to stick around, even though he really didn't have to.

He looked absentmindedly around the room, and realised how much he missed their bromance. He loved that Rachel was his new best friend, he had no trouble admitting that, but he still missed the days when he could moan to Puck about how much of a tease Quinn was, and how much her Cheerios' uniform turned him on (not that it was the case anymore, but Finn hadn't had the chance to complain about how much of a tease Rachel was, and how much her skirts really turned him on).

Finn toyed with his cell, trying to think about what he was supposed to do next. It would be so easy to pretend that this hadn't happened, 'cause Puck would probably forget about it in his drunken stupor, and then Finn would be able to go back to hating the guy.

Then again, it would be so easy to forgive him, to move on, and to have his friend back. No one was perfect, Finn could vouch for that for himself, and apart from the one douchey move of knocking up his ex, Puck hadn't screwed Finn over before (apart from when they were playing Halo, but Puck was always a sore loser).

When he was sure that he was asleep for good, Finn left the house quietly, feeling like the bigger man (in a metaphorical sense, 'cause he was always the bigger man when it came down to size). Yeah, he was gonna forgive Puck, though how he was gonna let him know that... whatever, he could definitely work on that.

'i've tucked baby puck into bed, so i guess i'll just go home...'

'Is that supposed to be a not-so-subtle way of asking me to invite you over? Rachel x'

'wat? no, that's crazy. but if ur offering...'

'The cookies are waiting; please bring your appetite and your adorable smile. Rachel x'

A/N: Hello strangers, I'm back! (I'll reply to all of your old reviews as soon as I can ^^). Now I'm going to try and update on a regular basis again because I've been hit with new inspiration, and I want to use it while I can. If any of you are following My Gift is My Song fic, I'll be updating that too since I have a few chapters already written.

Since a few people have asked, now that the glee club vacation is over, I'm still going to continue with this fic, because that's definitely not the end. While I catch up with season two, I'm going to start foreshadowing what happens, but from my own perspective so that I'm not just blatantly re-writing the episodes (and obviously, Rachel knows about Finn, and Emma's currently dating Will, etc etc).

Oh, and one more thing before I go; is the Facebook thing really lame? It's quite a popular format for fics, and I needed a way to update on the rest of the glee club, you know? Anyway, if people actually like it, I'll include more snippets in the future, so please, leave me your opinion in a review and I'll see what the consensus is. Thanks for being amazing! x
