A/N: So here's what you missed on Glee. Rachel, Kurt, Finn and Santana wen to Lima in order to help Quinn lead New Directions to a Regionals championship only to find Mike, Mercedes and Puck are there to help as well. Rachel's having self confidence issues after believing that she lost out the role of Fanny Brice on Broadway and Finn gave her a reality check. Brittany says that Blaine's being controlling of the Glee Club but that can't be true? Right? And that's what you missed on, GLEE!

Disclaimer: I do not own Glee, although I wish I did.


At around eight the next morning, Rachel entered the kitchen wearing her pajama shorts, fuzzy slippers and one of Finn's oversized t-shirts only to find that everyone else was there. Rachel's eyes wandered seeing that Kurt and Santana were sitting at the kitchen table, reading the Lima Times while Finn took waffles out of the toaster. Rachel rubbed her face with her hand to get the sleepiness out of her eyes before realizing that she was standing in the kitchen hallway not looking her best.

"Well, well look what we have here." Santana smirked, stifling a giggle. "Rachel Berry with no makeup on, her hair a mess and wearing one of Finn's shirts. Wanky."

"Oh please, like you never borrowed one of Brittany's shirts when you two were dating." Kurt quipped, not looking up from the newspaper.

"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. But all I know is that Rachel and Finn gots it on last night." Santana continued with her signature smirk, while Rachel sat at the kitchen table. "You know Rachel; I had to say that I haven't seen you without makeup in almost a year."

"I know, and I try not to be seen without makeup." Rachel admitted as she looked at her reflection with a spoon. Finn walked over to put a plate of waffles in front of Rachel and pressed soft kisses near her ear.

"You should do the natural look more often." Finn suggested, sitting in the chair next to her. "I think it's sexy."

"The same guy who looks at the Victoria Secret catalogue to look at the models thinks that au-natural is sexy?" Kurt scoffed, still into the paper.

"Hey, I haven't picked up a Victoria Secret magazine in months." Finn defended himself. "Besides, I have something better to look at." Finn continued gazing over at Rachel in a love-struck daze as Rachel blushed.

"Well, aren't you sweet?" Rachel smiled, pecking Finn's lips before going back to her food. "So have you decided what songs the kids are going to do for Regionals?"

"I'm going to talk to Mr. Schue today before Glee Club and see if we can come up with anything." Finn smiled.

"Well, the waffles were delicious honey, so thank you." Rachel kissed Finn's forehead and rubbed his healing arm as she got up from her seat to head towards the exit.

"Where are you going?" Finn asked.

"To shower. I have to look beautiful when I go to McKinley!" Rachel rushed out of the kitchen and Finn chuckled.

"You already are beautiful!" Finn yelled after her. Finn turned to see Santana and Kurt eyeing him, then going back to his food.

"You and Rachel are quite the pair aren't you?" Kurt asked.

"Yeah, we are." Finn smirked. "Oh, I have to go." Finn pointed to his stepbrother, getting out of his chair. "I guess the waffles are for the road."

"Wait, but Glee Club isn't till after school." Santana pointed out. "Where are you going now?"

"I have some business to attend to." Finn simply said as he ran out the door. "Tell Rachel I love her for me!" The door closed as Kurt and Santana looked at one another, simply confused.

"You're the one that's delivering Finn's message." Santana spoke up after a moment. Kurt went back to his newspaper, rolling his eyes. This was going to be one long week.


Rachel entered McKinley during lunch and headed straight to the choir room where she noticed Puck sitting there as if he was writing something. Rachel figured that it was for his screenplay, but when she saw the guitar next to him, she knew that Puck was either writing a song or composing the music for a cover song. Rachel decided to leave Puck alone for the moment and started to head to find Marley and the other New Direction members.

"I know you were there Berry." Puck called out, still looking down at the paper. Rachel hesitated, then walked over to Puck.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to slightly spy." Rachel apologized. Puck looked up to Rachel looking uncertain if he should tell Rachel what was on his mind. Puck and Rachel were never close friends—as a matter of fact, they weren't even friends, but Rachel was a girl and she knew what girls were like.

"Do you mind if I ask you something?" Puck softly asked. Rachel grabbed the stool and sat in front of Puck.

"Sure, what's bothering you?" Rachel asked.

"How do you know when you're…in love?" Puck sounded slightly embarrassed. Rachel thought about the question for a moment, trying to figure out how to answer.

"Well, love is very hard to explain, Puck." Rachel said. "But, if you love someone, you'd want to spend all your time with them. Every time you look at them, every time you touch them, they give you sparks. It's basically that your heart fills with joy every time you see them and only they can make your day better. Why do you ask?" Puck also knew that if he talked to a girl about a girl issue, they would want to know why they asked.

"Well, you can't tell anyone that I'm telling you this." Puck whispered. Rachel leaned in closer, still staring at Puck. "I'm in love with someone."

"You're in love with someone?" Rachel repeated. "Who…" Rachel was about to ask who the girl was but she didn't need to. She remembered at Breadstix and then after she and the other girls finished performing for the current squad of New Directions. "It's Quinn, isn't it?" Puck's eyes widened, wondering how Rachel knew.

"It was that obvious?" Puck got up from his chair, walking past Rachel.

"Not to everyone. Trust me, Finn would have been clueless." Rachel supposed, trying to make Puck feel better. "Look, I think it's sweet you still have feelings for Quinn and if you like her, then you should tell her."

"I can't just tell her, Rachel." Puck sounded almost afraid. "I mean, she's special. Plus she's in Yale. What would a girl that goes to one of the best schools in the country want with a Lima Loser like me?"

"Puck, you are not a Lima Loser." Rachel shook her head with her hands on her hips. "You're different, that's all. You're a great entrepreneur. Look at the pool cleaning business you have."

"Well, that's easy coming from you. You're Miss New York. Your fiancé is in New York with you along with Santana and Kurt. Mercedes is in California, Mike's in Chicago. I'm stuck here." Puck sighed. "I don't have a chance with Quinn, at all."

"That's what you think. I'm sure that Quinn still has feelings for you. I could tell when we were in Breadstix." Rachel smiled. "You know, I could help you get together with Quinn."

"I don't know…" Puck sounded hesitant.

"Oh come on Puck. You threw kids in dumpsters, you paint-balled Finn, you slushied kids and took their lunch money. You had the guts to do all those things…but you can't tell Quinn how you feel?" Rachel noticed Puck was still thinking about it, finally letting out a sigh.

"How am I supposed to tell her?" Rachel tapped her chin at Puck's question before a sly grin appeared on her face.

"I think I have an idea. Why don't you sing to her?" Rachel suggested.

"You want me to sing to her?" Puck asked.

"Yeah, it's one of the best ways of getting your feelings out in the open." Rachel sounded almost excited. Puck stared over at Rachel, looking at her as if she were crazy.

"Sing to Quinn? Did New York make you crazier than usual?" Puck incredulously speculated.

"No. Look, when are you going to realize that singing isn't lame?" Rachel pointed to one of the chairs and Puck took a seat with Rachel taking one herself. "You need to get naked."

"I need to what?" Puck sputtered, then shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know Rachel, I mean you're getting married to Finn, but if that's what you want…"

"Not like that." Rachel snapped, letting out a sigh. "I meant you have to get naked emotionally. And the best way to do that is to sing your feelings. That's the best way you know how to get it out. When we were in Glee Club and you would sing, that was when I saw the real Puck. Not the Puck that pretends to be tough because he's afraid of getting hurt."

"So you think if I sing to Quinn, she'll know that how I really feel?" Puck inquired.

"Yes, that's what I believe." Rachel nodded her head. "I mean, she'll get the hint right away. She's not Brittany who needed to be sung to twice."

"All right then." Puck got up from his seat, feeling more confident. "I'm going to sing—on one condition."

"What's that?" Rachel asked.

"You have to get Quinn to show up in the choir room." Puck sighed. "I'm afraid she'd laugh at me if I try to get her in here myself."

"Deal." Rachel started to head towards the door but Puck looked as if he was going to say something else.

"Hey, Rachel?"

"Yeah?" Rachel stopped in her tracks to give Puck an inquiring glance.

"Thanks." Puck appeared sincere as Rachel gave Puck a small smile.

"You're welcome, Puck." Rachel left the room to go and find Quinn. She just hoped that this worked.


Quinn was currently sitting down at one of the tables in the library along with Mike, Mercedes, Kurt Brittany and Santana trying to go over the measurements for everyone to fit them in their costumes. Kurt had decided that he liked the ensemble that the New Directions wore last year when they did a tribute to Michael Jackson for Sectionals and decided to change it up a bit. Instead of the blazer being white, the blazer was to be black. The girls would still wear the black skirts but Kurt was contemplating on whether or not they would wear boots or tap dancing shoes.

"Tap dancing shoes?" Quinn raised an eyebrow towards Kurt.

"In order to beat the competition at Regionals, they have to know how to dance and what a better way to get them to dance than with…" Kurt egged Quinn to finish the sentence.

"Tap dancing shoes?" Quinn repeated.

"Yes, exactly! I mean, we would have to make sure they didn't click all over the place, but I think that this could be done." Kurt tapped his chin.

"I think that I can speak for everyone and say that it's a horrible idea." Brittany piped up. Everyone turned to the usually dunce blonde, seeing that she was serious.

"I have to agree with Brittany. It's a terrible idea.' Quinn looked to Brittany to give her a look that she was on her side.

"Well, I like the idea." Kurt huffed. "We'll see what the other Glee Club members think."

"Don't show it to Blaine because he'll tell us what to wear and what to do." Brittany warned Kurt.

"Britt, I'm pretty sure that Blaine isn't being a dictator towards the Glee Club." Kurt chuckled.

"That's what you think." Brittany looked to the design scrunching her face in disgust. "I mean, he'll probably make us wear bowties and then he'll sing all the songs. Lately it has been the 'Blaine Show' around here."

"It's gotten that bad?" Santana couldn't believe that Blaine out of all people would go Lima Heights on the Glee Club and tell them what they were going to do.

"Well he can't exactly tell you guys what to do now." Mike assured Brittany. "Remember, the alumni are here and the Glee Club is more into hearing what the alumni have to say since we did win Nationals."

"Does that mean that I count as alumni as well?" Brittany asked. "I mean, I was on the team that won Nationals."

"Somewhat." Santana slightly agreed. "You still have to graduate in order to be alumni but you're well on your way."

"Good, because I have big plans after High School." Brittany gave a grin. The others looked to Brittany, interested in what her plans were.

"What plans do you have?" Santana became curious, staring at Brittany for a moment.

"I guess you'll have to find out when I graduate." Brittany stood up from the table giving a sly smirk. "I have to go and help Mercedes' clone into her dress for Glee Club. She changes more than the real Mercedes does. See you later." Brittany waved and walked past the others, as Santana couldn't help but chuckle. Santana had to admit, she was still in love with Brittany but the breakup between them was for the best…wasn't it?

"All right, back to the design." Quinn pointed to the paper. "They are not wearing tap shoes."

"We live in a world of democracy. Let's just ask the Glee Club when the club is in session." Kurt crossed his arms, looking down at the design.

"I have to admit, I love the idea of the outfit, it's just the shoes. The clicking of the tap shoes are going to give me a headache." Quinn rubbed her temples, just with the thought of clicking tap shoes all over the place.

"Tap shoes are no different than high heels." Kurt argued.

"All right, we'll let the Glee Club decide what they want to wear." Kurt got up from the table, as Quinn spoke simply letting out a playful smirk.

"I guess we shall." Quinn reciprocated Kurt's grin, still looking down at the designs. Rachel entered the library, seeing that Quinn was still there.

"Quinn." Rachel walked over to her friend, with Quinn looking up at Rachel.

"Hey Rachel, what's going on?" Quinn wondered.

"Puck said that he wanted to meet you in the choir room. He has an idea for Regionals for the kids and he wants to hear what you think." Rachel smiled, seeing that Quinn was quickly taking her stuff and leaving.

"All right, I'll meet him now." Rachel was sure that she saw Quinn's cheeks flush a bright red, meaning that she was excited to go and see Puck.

"So Quinn, I was just wondering." Rachel walked alongside her as they made their way to the choir room. "You still don't happen to have feelings for Puck, now do you?" Quinn looked to Rachel, unsure if she should answer the question.

"Well, I think I do have some feelings for him." Quinn admitted, but shook it off immediately. "But there would be no way that we could date. I mean, I go to Yale and he's…here."

"Well, I think that you need to give him a chance." Rachel insisted. "I mean, he obviously has feelings for you."

"What makes you so sure?" Quinn wondered, moving her head to the side.

"Have you seen the way he looks at you? He's head over heels for you Quinn Fabray." Rachel noticed Quinn was still a bit hesitant about the situation. "Look, I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I got back together with Finn, and it turned out he surprised me in more ways than one. Puck could do the same thing, you never know. I mean, time is short but this could be your fate…and he could be yours." Quinn and Rachel reached the choir room as Rachel started to head towards the courtyard. "Good luck Quinn!" Quinn contemplated on heading into the choir room to face Puck, but she knew she had to do it eventually. Quinn entered the choir room to see Puck strumming his guitar as if he were the only one on the planet. He looked so carefree and he actually looked happy.

"You wanted to see me?" Quinn asked, snapping Puck out of his trance. Puck turned to Quinn, his hands suddenly feeling sweaty.

"Yeah, I'm…I'm fine." Puck walked over to Quinn, holding the guitar in his hand. "I actually had a song that I wanted you to hear. I think you'll like it."

"What's the song?" Quinn sounded almost anxious. Puck turned towards the piano to get the song from the piano.

"I'm Yours by Jason Mraz." Puck sheepishly said. Quinn walked over, giving Puck a smirk.

"How about we make this song into a duet." Quinn suggested. Puck automatically agreed as he started to strum the chords for the song. Quinn and Puck were lost into the song, and they had to admit into each other's eyes.

[Puck]
Well you done, done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
And now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
And I'll be giving it my best test
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn
To win some or learn some

[Puck and Quinn]
So I won't hesitate
No more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

[Puck]
Do you want to come on scooch on closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

[Quinn]
I've been spending way too long
Checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards
Just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
So I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I'll be saying is there is no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

[Puck and Quinn]
But I won't hesitate
No more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

[Quinn] (Puck)
So I won't hesitate (So open up your mind and see like me)
No more, no more (Open up your plans and damn you're free)
It cannot wait, I'm sure (Look into your heart and you'll find the sky is yours)
There's no need to complicate (So please don't, please don't, please don't)
Our time is short (There's no need to complicate, cause our time is short)
This is our fate (This is, this is, this is our fate)

[Puck and Quinn]
I'm yours

As soon as the song ended, Quinn and Puck were eye to eye, fighting the urge to kiss one another. After an awkward moment, Quinn stepped back and looked over to the guitar. She knew that Puck could play guitar and sing but when he crooned Jason Mraz, it was almost sexy. Quinn walked around the room, trying to find the words to say before turning around to face him.

"That sounded really pretty." Quinn said. Puck nodded his head, placing the guitar down with a smile.

"Yeah, it was. That was actually the first time that I've sung Jason Mraz." Puck chuckled.

"Yeah, that was actually the second time that I sung him." Quinn playfully one upped Puck.

"Oh, that's right with Trouty Mouth. What song was that again? Lucky?" Puck pretended that he had forgotten for the moment in which Quinn giggled.

"Yeah…" Quinn nodded her head, then noticed Puck walking closer to her.

"Quinn…I know after this week, you're going to go back to Yale and I'll probably be stuck here…but after all the history that we've been through…I just can't stop thinking about you." Puck put a hand on Quinn's cheek as she continued to stare at him.

"Puck, I love you…you know I do." Quinn whispered but then turned her head. "But I just can't get into a relationship right now. I hope that you understand that." Puck looked at Quinn as if he had his heart torn out of his body. Quinn told him that she wanted nothing to do with him once she left to Yale. Puck backed away from Quinn, taking his guitar and walking out of the room, but not before kicking the garbage can and slamming the door. "Stop kicking inanimate objects! You're not Finn!" Quinn yelled after Puck, but he was long gone. Where he went, she didn't know…but the last thing she wanted to do was break his heart.


When Glee Club started, Finn rushed to the choir room where everyone else was already getting ready to talk about Regionals. Finn had been trying to locate Malcolm Reese so that he could talk to him about getting his father a semi-honorable discharge but he wasn't home. Finn had spent the whole day trying to locate him, but it was no use. Finn was going to have to try again tomorrow. Finn looked around and found Rachel had saved a seat for him. Finn headed over to the seat and pressed a kiss on Rachel's lips before taking his seat. Most of the Glee Club found it adorable, but Quinn and Puck almost felt as if it was sad. If Quinn had said the right words, then Puck would be with her right now. Instead she broke his heart and caused him to become upset with her. Puck stared over at Rachel and Finn and let out a sad sigh. Puck didn't blame Rachel for what happened since the advice she did give him worked for a moment. He was just disappointed that Rachel's plan didn't work.

"All right, Glee!" Mr. Schuester entered the room, looking over to the choir room. "Now before we start I'd like to thank Rachel, Finn, Quinn, Puck, Mercedes, Santana, Kurt and Mike for coming back to help us prepare for Regionals. These guys are National Champions and I'm sure that their genius could wipe off on you guys. Now, let's get started in trying to figure out what songs we're going to sing to fit the theme 'Groups.'."

"Mr. Schuester?" Marley raised her hand in the air. "When they say that the theme is groups, what does that mean exactly?"

"Well Marley, it basically could mean that it could be a song from a group or you could perform a group number. Now, did we decide what song we're going to do for Regionals?" Mr. Schuester turned to the Glee Club.

"I was suggesting Justin Timberlake." Jake raised his hand in the air while he spoke. "But Blaine over there shut down the idea."

"I actually like Justin Timberlake as an idea." Finn said. "I mean, it could be a great group number. Just think about it."

"Justin Timberlake isn't what the judges are looking for." Blaine crossed his arms.

"And how do you know what the judges are looking for?" Santana asked, now seeing what Brittany had meant in the library.

"I just mean Justin Timberlake or the Spice Girls or anything else isn't going to cut it." Blaine simply answered. "If we're going to win Regionals, we need to bring out the big guns."

"And what big guns are you suggesting?" Mr. Schuester focused on Blaine, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"Well, we could do a great Katy Perry number." Blaine suggested, but the suggestion earned groans throughout the choir room.

"Seriously? Katy Perry?" Kurt spoke up, raising an eyebrow. "You rather do Katy Perry for Regionals than someone who's a triple threat like Justin Timberlake? I'm sorry Blaine, but no one else wants to do Katy Perry."

"But it could be awesome." Blaine said.

"Well, it could be awesome but it's not happening." Kurt retorted. "And since we live in a democracy, I suggest that we vote. All those in favor of Katy Perry?" Only Blaine's hand shot up in the air. "All those opposed?" As soon as Blaine put his hand down, everyone else in the Glee Club raised their hands. "No Katy Perry."

"If this were the Warblers then we would have done what I suggested." Blaine snorted.

"That's just it Blaine. We aren't the Warblers and we aren't doing Katy Perry." Kurt argued back.

"Just why not? You're not the one that's singing it." Blaine got up from his chair to look at Kurt.

"But there are other people that would prefer to do more contemporary music." Kurt saw everyone nodding their head slowly, mostly because they figured Kurt knew what he was talking about.

"Well Justin Timberlake, the Spice Girls and the Jonas Brothers aren't going to win Regionals." Blaine became angrier by the moment.

"I thought we established Nick Jonas was a girl." Brittany spoke up, looking to Blaine.

"Britt, now's not the time." Santana put a hand on Brittany's shoulder while speaking in a soothing tone.

"Well, if this were the Warblers, there would be no arguing. The Warblers are men of character." Blaine snapped at Kurt. At Blaine's comment, Rachel broke out of Finn's grasp and stormed out of the room, something everyone else noticed.

"Way to go Burt Reynolds." Santana sarcastically hissed towards Blaine. "You offended Rachel."

"How did I offend Rachel?" Blaine didn't see the point.

"Yeah, how did Blaine offend Rachel?" Mercedes asked. Finn had a feeling as to what Rachel was upset about.

"Because Rachel was raped by a Warbler." Santana answered, her eyes still pointing daggers at Blaine. "So a man of good character rapes the competition now?" Blaine realized the error of his comment, but before he could apologize, Finn got up from his chair to look for Rachel. Everyone continued to stare at Blaine while he felt guilt pang him in the pit of his stomach. Blaine sat down and ran his hands through his hair, shocked of what he said. Puck, Mercedes and Mike's faces were more than in shock—they were in horror.

"Woah! I did not know that the Warbler dude violated Rachel!" Puck sounded outraged.

"Yeah, I didn't know that either." Mike felt himself become boiling in anger.

"Well, maybe this wasn't something Rachel wanted to share with the entire world." Marley thought aloud. Everyone turned to Marley, realizing that she had a point.

"You know Blaine, ever since you and Kurt broke up, you've been acting like a bitch, and I thought Auntie Snixx was the biggest bitch of them all." Santana snapped. Blaine looked over to everyone, seeing that none of their faces were friendly. Blaine took that moment to get up from his chair and exit the room. Glee Club was underway—and there was already more tension than anyone else had anticipated.
