Ch 35

A week after Sectionals the group was hanging out in the Sloan home. It was holiday time so Rachel, Bree, and Kurt had dedicated themselves to decorating the house. Of course there were a few extra additions that Bree didn't know about… a few mistletoes hang up in key spots. The plan was to get Puck and Bree under them because the group was tired of their playing around each other.

"So how exactly is this thing going to work?" asked Kurt.

"Easy, I asked Noah to bring me some things so when I hear his truck we'll just ask Bree to go get something from the car. He's going to want to help her out so they'll walk in at the same time and voila mistletoe," Rachel explained.

"You really think it's that easy?" Santana asked.

"Of course it is."

"If you say so, Barbie," Kurt said.

"So I just finished getting the kitchen ready," Bree said coming into the room.

"Ooh awesome," Rachel said.

"Sis, you know I love you, but what is with all of this?" Jonathan asked.

"We are going to celebrate a new holiday," Rachel said.

"Kwanza?" Kurt asked.

"No, Chrismukkah," Rick said.

"I should have known you were behind this," Bree said.

"It's not entirely his fault; it was my idea, he just helped me research it," Rachel said.

"Yeah, it was a joint effort," Rick said.

"I figured that well, I was raised Jewish, and both my mom and the Puckermans are Jewish; but Dad, you, the Hummels, well basically everyone else, is some kind of Christian variation, or Catholic as in Bree and Rick's case, so it would be unfair to just celebrate Hanukkah or Christmas," Rachel explained.

"It's not Christmas, it's not Hanukkah...It's Chrismukkah," Rick said.

"You two are so weird…going to call my girlfriend see if she's coming to the party or not," Jonathan said leaving the room; just as he was leaving they heard the sound of Puck's truck outside.

"That must be Puck, hey B, can you go help him out with things?" Santana asked.

"Sure," Bree said going outside to meet Puck.

"Hey Bree."

"Hey Puck, the girls sent me out here to help you."

"Seriously?" Puck asked.

"Seriously," Bree said.

"Honestly I just brought this box so I think we're good, but I could always use the company."

"Alrighty then," Bree said.

"So is Rachel really going forward with this Chrismukkah thing?" Puck asked.

"What do you think?" Bree asked.

"It's Rachel so yes."

"She's a bit stubborn with her ideas," Bree said.

"Just a bit? She's probably the queen of stubbornness," Puck said as they reached the door.

"Stop right there," Rachel said.

"What's the matter, Rach?" Puck asked.

"You guys have to kiss," Rachel said.

"What? What's up with you, crazy?" Puck asked.

"You guys are under the mistletoe, it's tradition," Santana said.

"I've got the box," Puck said.

"Then I'll just take that from you, and then your hands are free," Rick said taking the box from Puck's hands.

"We are waiting," Kurt said.

"Oh what the hell," Bree said as she grabbed Puck and pulled him into a kiss. It started out slow but then got a bit more intense as Puck pulled her closer to him. After a few minutes they pulled apart when they heard a noise.

"So that was interesting," Kurt said.

"Very much so," Santana agreed.

"There we kissed; you guys happy now?" Puck asked.

"Oh definitely," Rachel said.

"One more thing: can you guys go get a tree for us?" Rick asked.

"Why can't you go?" Bree asked.

"Rachel and I are in charge of organizing everything," Rick said.

"Yeah, so we have to stay here and make sure everything goes well," Rachel said.

"I have to get back to Dalton. I've got to study for my last test then Christmas vacation, finally!" Kurt said.

"I'm taking him," Jonathan said appearing again.

"St. James and I are in charge of music…speaking of, where is he exactly?" Santana asked.

"He said he had to do something with Chris," Rachel said.

"So can you guys go get the tree or not?" Rick asked.

"We can go, right Bree?" Puck asked.

"Yeah of course," Bree said.

"We'll be right back."

"Take your time," Rachel said as they walked out.

"You think they'll finally get their act together?" Santana asked.

"Oh definitely," Rachel said.

"And after a kiss like that they won't be able to think about anything else," Kurt said.

"So Brat, do you want me to take you to Dalton?" Jonathan asked.

"Yes please. Girls, Rick, I'll see you tomorrow when I'm finally done with school until January," Kurt said.

"Kurt, remember to tell the Warblers about the party, remember parents are invited too, and tell them they better have a good reason for missing it if they miss it," Rachel said.

"Don't worry, Barbie, I'll tell them."

ST BERRY-ST BERRY-ST BERRY-ST BERRY

"So do you think she'll like it?" Jesse asked.

"I think she'll love it, Jess." Chris said.

"I hope so," Jesse said.

"Stop second guessing yourself! It's a great gift: it's personal and romantic; Rachel is going to love it," Chris said.

"Thanks for helping me, Chris."

"No problem, you helped me with Andie's gift so I helped with Rachel's."

"Well yeah, thanks for that but I meant in general."

"You're my nephew; of course I'm going to help you out."

"Yeah, but it meant a lot to me that you actually took an interest in me. I'm not exactly used to having adults taking an interest in me or well just helping me out," Jesse said, and Chris knew he was talking about his sister and that husband of hers.

"You're family, Jess, and that's important to me. Just promise me something."

"Anything."

"Promise me you'll never become that obnoxious asshole ever again," Chris said.

"I promise."

"Okay then, let's go buy that son of mine a present. What exactly do you get a 17 year-old gay teenager?" Chris asked

"A year subscription to playgirl magazine?" Jesse suggested.

"Not funny, not funny at all," Chris said as Jesse burst out laughing. "You suck," Chris told him but Jesse was still laughing.

ST BERRY-ST BERRY-ST BERRY-ST BERRY

"What about this one?" Bree asked looking at a tree.

"It's alright," Puck said.

"Okay, what gives? All I've gotten is either one- or two-word answers since we got in the car…was kissing me really that bad?" Bree asked.

"What?"

"Well you've been really quiet so it must not have been a good experience for you," Bree said.

"Trust me, the problem is not that I didn't like it," Puck said.

"Then what is the damn problem?" Bree asked.
"The damn problem is that I liked it too damn much. It was amazing, it was perfect, and it just confirmed the fact that I like you, I like you a whole damn lot. Hell, I've liked you since this summer but I'm not good with feelings. I actually suck at them. So I just want to forget about it, but after that kiss I can't, alright!" Puck exclaimed.

"You like me?" Bree said.

"Didn't I just say I did?" Puck asked then was caught off-guard by Bree kissing him again. This one was shorter than before but at the same time it was more intimate.

"I like you too, a lot. I'm not good with feelings either and honestly I had no idea you liked me too," Bree admitted.

"So we've both been liking each other for this long and neither of us said anything? Wow we're stupid," Puck said.

"Yeah pretty much," Bree agreed.

"So what do you say we change that?" Puck asked.

"What do you mean?" Bree asked.

"Miss Bree Danvers, do you want to be my girlfriend?" Puck asked.

"Yes!" Bree said, kissing him again.

"We should probably pick a tree or else they will kill us," Puck said.

"Yeah most likely," Bree said.

ST BERRY-ST BERRY-ST BERRY-ST BERRY

"Hey," Blaine said coming into the common room.

"You scared me," Kurt said.

"Good 'cause I'm actually Marley's ghost, and I'm here to tell you to stop studying so hard."

"Hmm what's with the boom box?" Kurt asked.

"I need you to sing with me, well rehearse with me. I got a gig singing Baby it's Cold Outside in the King's Island Christmas Spectacular."

"A personal favorite, too bad they would never let us sing it together…I mean as two artists," Kurt said.

"Hmm, so are you going to help me out here?"

"Anything to make me stop reading about Charlemagne."

"Very good then."

They started singing without knowing a group of boys were observing them.

"Is someone taping this?" David asked.

"Of course, it's the main reason we came up with this whole thing," Wes said.

"Plus Rachel needs to see it," Oliver said.

"So who exactly is taping this?" David asked.

"Nick, Thad, Flint, Jeff, and Max are in the other room taping this whole thing," Oliver said.

"It takes 5 people to tape it?" James asked.

"No, but it would look to suspicious if we were all in here, plus this room doesn't fit all of us," Wes said.

"The UST in this scene is killing me," Jake said.

"The what?" James asked.

"UST Unresolved Sexual Tension; seriously James, get with the times," Jake joked.

"Shut up you two and just watch," Wes said.

"Blaine is such a singing flirt," David said.

"There's no way he doesn't have feelings for Kurt. I mean he is hardcore staring at his lips," James said.

"True," Jake said.

"They are done singing; everyone to their positions," David said as the boys stepped away from the door and headed towards the beds. Wes and Oliver went to the desk with the computer, David went to his bed, Jake went to Wes' bed, and James went to Blaine's bed.

"I think you're ready," Kurt said.

"Well for the record, you are much better than that girl is going to be," Blaine said as he walked towards his room.

"Any particular reason why you are all here?" Blaine asked.

"Wes was helping me with chemistry," Oliver said.

"My roommates are working on something with Jeff and Nick so I was bored being alone in my room," Jake said.

"I had to talk to David about something," James said.

"Okay well, continue doing what you are doing. I have to go talk to my dad," Blaine said leaving the room.

"How long do you think it will take him to figure out there is no King's Island Christmas Spectacular?" David asked.

"Technically there was one but it ended in 2008, we checked," Wes said.

"I got to admit it was a clever plan to get them to sing," James said.

"Of course it was a great plan! It was a Wes Kim/Rachel Sloan original," Wes said.

"Do you think it will work?" Oliver asked.

"Let's hope so," Jake said.

ST BERRY-ST BERRY-ST BERRY-ST BERRY

The Puckermans, the Sloans, the Danvers, the Hummel-Hudsons, Shelby, Jesse, Quinn, and Chris were all at the Sloan home waiting for the tree to get there.

"So Lexie, I hear you're going to be my new stepmother," Rachel said.

"I will if you'll have me."

"Of course! You're awesome. So when did he ask you?" Rachel asked.

"Your dad popped the question yesterday."

"Can I see it?" Rachel asked.

"Of course, it's beautiful, isn't it?" Lexie asked.

"Definitely. Congrats, Lex."

"Thanks, Rachel."

"So how is work?" Rachel asked.

"It's going great. How's Glee Club?" Lexie asked.

"It's alright, but we seriously need some serious changes if we are going to beat the Warblers."

"And what she means by serious changes is give her a solo," Jonathan said.

"Duh! I'm the best one in there; I deserve a solo," Rachel said, and was cut off by Jesse coughing. "Okay we are the best ones in there…Happy now, St. James?" Rachel asked.

"Ecstatic, Sloan." Jesse said.

"Excuse me, I have to answer this," Rachel said. "Talk to me, Ollie. How are things with the canary and the hobbit?"

"You were right: hobbit couldn't help himself and went to practice with the canary."

"Song helped?"

"Song was perfect, canary's favorite."

"I know my canary."

"And we know our hobbit."

"So how was it, any improvements?"

"It was very flirty and as Jake said, filled with UST."

"That's a good thing, do you have proof?"

"Wicked boys, my brother, Flint, and Thad filmed it."

"I've got to see it."

"Don't worry, boys said they would send it to you."

"Okay, what are your thoughts, Ollie?"

"Well, canary's feelings are obvious, and he has admitted them to himself."

"I take it the problem is the hobbit?"

"Yes, it's obvious hobbit has feelings for the canary, but it seems as though he hasn't admitted them to himself or at least has deluded himself to think that they are purely platonic."

"Damn."

"Indeed, oh shit, I have to cut this call short. It seems the hobbit has found out there is no such thing as a King's Island Christmas Spectacular."

"Okay goodbye, Ollie. Tell Wes to call me later with details."

"Will do."

"Do I want to know?" Jesse asked.

"For your safety I would say no; the less that you know the better," Rachel said.

"You're lucky I love you, crazy," Jesse said putting an arm around her.

"I'm lucky? Excuse you, you're the lucky one. I mean, you get to be my boyfriend; not everyone gets that pleasure," Rachel joked while leaving to go talk to Santana and Quinn.

"Dude, I think your girlfriend just shut you up," Rick said appearing at his side.

"Rick."

"Yeah man?"

"Shut up," Jesse said.

"Just stating the facts," Rick told him smirking.

"You are annoying; you know that, right?" Jesse asked.
"Aww thanks, I love you too," Rick said putting a hand over his heart.

"You are so not funny."
"I'm hilarious."

"No, you're not."

"Yes, I am."

"No, you're not."

"Yes, I am."

"BOYS!" Andie shouted ending their argument.

"Sorry, Mom."
"Sorry, Andie."

"Aren't you two supposed to be the mature ones?" Andie asked.

"My brother mature? Mom, Rick's never been mature," Bree said, appearing in the doorway carrying the tree along with Puck.

"Honey, you're home," Andie said.

"Boys, go help them," Shelby told Jonathan, Rick, and Jesse.

"I take it my plan worked?" Rachel asked.

"Yes midget, your Machiavellian plan worked," Puck said.

"Well if we left it to you two, you would have never gotten together," Rick commented.

"Of course you were involved too," Bree said.

"I'm always involved," Rick said.

"True," Bree agreed.

"This was a HummelSloanPez Danvers plan," Rachel said.

"So Kurt, Rick, Santana, and you?" Puck asked.

"Exactly."

"Why don't we just decorate the damn tree? After all, that's what we are here for, right?" Chris asked.

"Let's go then," Quinn said.

ST BERRY-ST BERRY-ST BERRY-ST BERRY

It was the day of the party and people were already arriving when Jesse pulled Rachel away.

"Jesse, I have to go meet my guests."

"Your dad, Jon, Rick, and Santana can hold the fort for a few minutes. I have to show you something."

"Alright, let's go to my room."
"Gladly," he said, then took her hand as they went to her room.

"So what did you want to show me?" Rachel asked.

"Your present," he said, sitting next to her on the bed and giving her a small box.

"Jesse, this is beautiful," she said, opening the box to reveal a silver charm bracelet.

"The R is for Rachel obviously, the music note is because of your love of music, these are the Chinese symbols for family and for friendship because I know how much friendship and family means to you, the little star of David because of how important your faith is to you, and a heart because of your enormous heart."

"It has Jesse engraved in the heart."

"Well, the heart has a double meaning; the other meaning is that you have my heart in your hands."

"Oh Jesse, this is beautiful."

"So you like it?" he asked.

"Like it? I love it! It's the most romantic present I've ever gotten."

"I'm glad you like it."

"Well, I have something for you too. It's not nearly as romantic, but I thought you'd appreciate it," she said, then handed him a box.

"The Stephen Sondheim Collection…this is perfect, Rachel."

"You like it?" Rachel asked.

"I love it."

"I'm glad. Well, we have to get back to the party," Rachel told him.

"Right, the party."

ST BERRY-ST BERRY-ST BERRY-ST BERRY

A few minutes later the Warblers and the rest of the group (except Blaine and Kurt) were in a room together.

"Now that Jonathan and Quinn are back together, and Bree and Puck are dealt with, we need to focus our full attention on another couple," Rachel told the group.

"Blaine and Kurt?" Jonathan asked and Rachel nodded.

"Cannot agree more. Klaine's chemistry and sexual tension is off the charts, so we need to do something about that," Jake stated.

"Klaine, seriously?" Tina asked.

"Don't criticize the name; it's perfect," Rick told her.

"You came up with it?" Mike asked.

"It was a joint effort in between Rachel, Wes, and myself," Rick told her and high-fived Rachel and Wes.

"Well that explains it," Santana said.

"Back to business. The singing plot obviously didn't work so we have to come up with something else," Rachel interrupted.

"Locking them up in a closet?" Oliver suggested.

"Ironic and ingenious, I like it," David said.

"But won't Chris and Burt wonder why their gay sons are locked in the closet?" Quinn asked.

"True, we need something that won't really call the attention of the adults," Rick said.

"Maybe another song?" Sam suggested.

"No, if Baby It's Cold Outside didn't do the trick no other Christmas song will work," Nick said.

"I've got an idea," Jonathan said.

"Really? Do tell," Santana said.

"Why don't we let them figure it out on their own instead of meddling around in their business? Maybe they aren't ready to take that step yet and if they do they can screw it up since they aren't ready. And do you guys want them to lose their friendship just because you wanted them to get together quickly?" Jonathan said.

"Damn it, I hate it when he has a point," Bree said.

"So what, we have to step back and stop meddling?" Thad asked.

"Yes, exactly," Jonathan said.

"What is the fun in that?" Flint asked.

"It's the right thing to do. At least give them a month after the holidays; if they haven't gotten their act together by then you guys can meddle," Jonathan said.

"That sounds reasonable. What do you guys say?" Jesse asked.
"Alright, we'll leave Klaine alone for now, but if by Valentine's Day there has been no improvement we are moving in," Rachel said.

"I approve of that," Wes said.

"So do I," Rick said.

ST BERRY-ST BERRY-ST BERRY-ST BERRY

Everyone was sitting down for the meal when Mark got up to make a toast.

"Okay, first I have to thank you all for coming this is the first Chrismukkah party we've ever had. Hell, it's the first time we have celebrated this holiday and so far it's been a success. Rachel, Rick, you two did an amazing job putting this together," he said and everyone clapped as Rick hugged Rachel. "Now for something a bit more serious, at the beginning of this year my family consisted of a daughter, that I had shared-custody of, that I only got to see on the holidays, and a son that was out of town most of the time modeling; and honestly, it sucked big time," he said and people laughed a bit. "I met the amazing Lexie Grey, who for some reason decided to give me a chance even with all my baggage; then my daughter became friends with a Miss Santana Lopez, and suddenly I had another daughter; then my son decided to finish high school so I got him back too, after the summer, well you all know what happened, but the good thing that came from that was that I got my little girl back and the Hummels became a part of our crazy family. After that, the rest of you just came pouring in one after the other, so I would like to propose this toast to our family. Our crazy dysfunctional but amazing family."

"To family."

"Oh and Merry Chrismukkah."

AN: Okay so this ended up very different to my original plan but I think it's alright... Hope you all liked it once again sorry for the delay.
