The Life of a Psychic Chapter 6, a glee fanfic

The Life of a Psychic

Summary: Rachel has been secretly psychic all her life. But after winning Regionals Junior year a violent vision comes to her that not only scares the Glee Club but also makes her decide to change things

Puckleberry

Other pairings will come and go and will definitely be side dishes for the story. The whole Puck chasing Lauren thing didn't happen for the purposes of this story.

SO HERE'S WHAT YOU MISSED: Rachel gets a vision of her death on a Broadway stage. New Directions has no idea about her psychic abilities and Puck is determined to be the one Rachel completes her Bucket List with. The Glee Club knows Puck and Rachel are dating now and the club needs money to get to New York for Nationals.

Chapter 6:

"Noah? Could you help me break into Couch Sylvester's office?" Rachel asked sweetly grinning up into Puck's face. Puck closed his locker and turned to face the pint sized crazy next to him.

"Are you suicidal Rach? I'm a badass and even I know you don't mess with that woman unless you want your balls to be cut off and in a pouch around her neck like some kind of trophy..." Puck whispered.

"Oh then no worries then! Because I don't have balls." Rachel smirked and Puck rolled his eyes.

"You know what I mean that bitch is crazier than you so..." Puck considered saying "No" but then he began to wonder why she wanted to break into Coach Sylvester's office. "Why you wanna get in there anyway?"

"It's for the flash mob Friday." Rachel explained gleefully. "We need people to sponsor us right? Well surely Sylvester has a list of her sponsors in her office somewhere and if we had a list of businesses that already donate to the school then we know who will be least likely to donate to us and instead focus on the other businesses. And we will avoid conflicts between the Cheerios and Glee if we aren't poaching their sponsors."

Puck eyed Rachel suspciously. "That sounds...reasonable and not-crazy...except for the breaking into Sylvester's office part."

Rachel shrugged. "If you will not help me I'll simply do it myself. I wouldn't want to get you into trouble Noah." Rachel turned and walked towards Sylvester's office with a skip in her step.

Puck sighed in defeat and followed her. No way was he letting her do this by herself. Chick was off her rocker. He'll just pretend that because he is a badass (which he totally IS) he wants to break into Sylvester's office just for the fun of breaking into shit.

They were able to jimmy the lock and they searched the room trying not to disturb anything. When Rachel found the list with a loud "A-HA!" They ran to the copy machine and copied the list. Once they were safely out of enemy territory Rachel pulled Puck by the front of his shirt into a secluded corner of the hallway. "I think you deserve a thank you for helping me Noah..." she purred and Puck eagerly met her half way for the kiss. He turned them around to press her against the wall to keep her out of sight of possible gossipers and melted into the kiss.

"Mmm..." Puck pulled away to kiss along her jaw. "You taste sooo good baby like peppermint or something."

Rachel arched her neck and gasped as Puck nipped her neck and then soothed the spot with his tongue. "I-It's my lip gloss." she murmured.

"Ahem!" Quinn Fabray interrupted. The two jewish-american teens turned and one glared while the other stared with a deer caught in the headlights look. "Shouldn't we be going to Glee rehearsal? The sooner we sing whatever ridiculous suggestions that Shue has the sooner we can rehearse your flash mob idea."

Puck growled something that sounded suspciously like "way to cock-block Fabray." and grabbed Rachel's hand to pull her towards the choir room. When they arrived Rachel studied the list they'd copied while Puck scooted his chair up against hers to throw his arm over the back of her chair. Rachel pulled out her cell phone with a flourish and started talking to someone. Puck eyed her curiously. He could hear a male voice on the other end and he had to tamp down the jealous stirrings in his gut. He heard her invite the guy to the rehearsal after rehearsal and Puck frowned.

"Who was that babe?" he whispered as she hung up and Mr. Shuester came in.

"You'll see later." she winked and Puck spent the rest of the rehearsal subtly tickling her and whispering all the dirty things he'll do to her if she'll just tell him who she invited. But Rachel would just giggle and shake her head at him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Auditorium~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The Glee gang stood on the stage after Glee rehearsal waiting for Rachel who had dashed out of the choir room just as practice was ending.

"Where is that midget diva?" Mercedes grumbled in annoyance.

Everyone turned to Puck expectantly who was pouting in a dark corner of the stage because he hadn't gotten his way. "Don't look at me she wouldn't tell me."

"Never fear my show choir companions! We may begin rehearsals!" Rachel came onto the stage happily and then grinned secretly. "But I've brought some reinforcements to help us..." Rachel called towards the doors of the Auditorium and the entire Warbblers group filed in still in uniform.

Kurt and Blaine stood in front of the group with the same smirk that Rachel now wore. Santana frowned untrustingly. "Why would these guys help?"

"Well, after our impromptu performance at the Gap and after Rachel invited us to help we decided it would be fun." Kurt explained. "She says you guys were going to do acapella and would need back up singers that specialized with recreating the sound of music."

"We aren't doing acapella? I got the AV club to agree to set up speakers along Main Street to play the music..." Artie interjected.

"Actually we will still be doing that but since our last meeting I had the most amazing idea." Rachel explained. There were a couple resigned groans but Rachel pushed on. "Noah and I have analyzed which businesses on Main Street might be interested in sponsoring us at Nationals."

Puck glared at the incredulous looks the rest of Glee were giving him. Hey! He knew how to analyze! Assholes...

"So instead of merely singing in the street I purpose that we split up and break out into song inside these businesses. We'll each get to sing short solos and then we will meet each other in the street and finish by singing a medley of our favorite songs using the speakers and the band." Rachel finished with a wide expectant grin.

"We all get to sing solos? I'm down with that." Mercedes smiled. And some of the others looked unsure but after Rachel pulled out a diagram of Main Street with the businesses and times for each of them to leave their stores to meet the members that had made their way down the street. She'd even included buffer time in case some people were held up or slower walkers/dancers.

"So we'll work our way down the list. Who wants to sing at the Jewish Community Center? They will be the first to leave and dance down the street." Rachel began excitedly taking out a clipboard from her trolley bag.

Puck snorted. "You obviously. Us Jews gotta represent Berry so you should sing there because whoever goes first will be singing down the street alone to the second destination so we need a strong singer and dancer. You also have an in since you're Jewish so they probably won't kick you out or something." Everyone stared at Puck in amazement for his logical answer. While Rachel smiled adoringly up at him and wrote her name next to the JCC.

"I suggest we pick songs to sing that will intrigue the store and make them interested in supporting us. So I think I shall sing the mash up song we did of Halo and Walking on Sunshine." Everyone seemed to agree with her suggestion.

"The next destination is Grace Community Church. Any takers?"

"Oh I got dis! And write down RESPECT." Mercedes cut in and Rachel happily obliged.

"The next is the rodeo bar at the corner of Peters St and Main St. Since we'll be doing this during the day they should allow minors in."

"I'll do it babe I know you love me in a cowboy hat." Puck winked. "And I'll do the song Fat Bottomed Girls."

"Really Puck?" Santana asked disgusted.

Puck slung an arm around Rachel and grinned. "Rachel thinks it's hot when I sing...don't you Rach?" He whispered huskily into her ear and then softly sang Sweet Caroline making Rachel shiver.

"Noah..." Rachel moaned. "Stop it!" Rachel scooted away from Puck who laughed at her blush. New Directions and the Warbblers gave them odd looks while Santana smirked and siddled up to Rachel.

"Wow Rach that was hot...I'll sing to you, hun." Santana purred.

Puck glared at Santana and grabbed Rachel away from her. "Back off Satan. I'm not sharing this one."

Santana rolled her eyes at Puck's caveman mentality. "What's next Man Hands?"

Rachel glared and looked at her next point on the list. "The next one will be a group effort maybe four people will have to take it. It will be the outlet mall across the street from the rodeo bar. Those in that group can decide what to sing in side what store or if they just want to sing down the walkway in front of the stores."

"Me and Finn will do that." Quinn grinned at the idea of shopping. "So will we!" Tina tugged on Mike's arm excitedly.

"Okay! Then you guys could do duets!" Rachel said excitedly and started writing stuff on the list. "Alright next is that big Payless Shoes."

"Ooooo Me and Sam will take that. I'll figure out a song before the end of today." Santana promised while she pulled out her iPod.

"Next is Breadsticks. I thought a couple could sit down for dinner and then pay and start singing as they leave."

"Me and Artie can do that...we could do Dancing with Myself and I could dance!" Brittany cut in excitedly and Artie smiled up at her.

"What's left?" Lauren asked.

"The gym across from the park." Rachel said sheepishly.

"Awesome! But I'm not used to solos so one of those pretty boys will probably need to help me." Lauren waved over at the Warbblers and Blaine stepped forward.

"I'd be happy to help." he offered with a smile.

"Okay! We've got our line up! We'll now pick songs and assign Warbblers to stores to help as back up singers." Rachel turned to Kurt and Blaine. "Thank you so much for helping us."

Kurt smiled fondly and patted Rachel on the head. "Even when I'm not at McKinley you some how convince me to sing back up to you. You'll be the death of me lil diva. But I'm happy to help." Blaine nodded in agreement and walked over to Lauren to discuss a song.

"Ahem." Mrs. Pillsbury-Howell stood in the audience seating and everyone turned to look at her guiltily. "One of the AV kids came to me with concerns about your flashmob being illegal." she explained.

Rachel huffed and whispered. "I knew I should have made them sign a gag order."

"I investigated the matter and found out what you are doing. And...I've looked as hard as I could and there is nothing illegal about it. But if an officer asks any of you kids to stop then it would be best to just stop singing and go about your day like nothing happened. But I want you kids to know I support this idea." Mrs. P-H smiled and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

She pulled out something from behind her back, a stack of thin booklets it looked like. "And I thought of a way to help you guys. You could give these to the clerks in the stores and customers that seem interested in donating to Glee." She walked up to the stage and showed them the covers.

"Gleerbook Class of 2011?" Rachel murmured in awe. She picked up a booklet from the top and opened it. Inside on each page was a small profile of each member in Glee with their year book pictures. They weren't filled with any information that was too personal and in the front was a page about the Glee Club's history and how they were going to New York for Nationals.

Rachel felt herself get teary. "It's perfect...thank you..."

"You kids should really consider telling Will...he would love to help you guys."

Rachel smiled. "Mr. Shue has done so much for us. We want to show he doesn't have to do all of the work. We'll tell him after we do this." Rachel promised.

"Okay." Mrs. P-H smiled and turned to leave. "I bet he is awefully proud of you kids."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Friday at the JCC~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Rachel nervously fidgeted in the front office of the JCC. She'd been here thousands of times before but she'd never performed in front of an unsuspecting audience. She hoped the others were okay. They'd all seemed nervous when they'd met up at the corner of Main St and North St which was by the park where the band had set up their equipment in the large gazeebo.

The AV club set up the speakers to connect to the system that would broadcast the band. The AV club also brought video cameras that they'd fashioned into duffle bags to hide the fact that they were recording the reactions of the unsuspecting people.

The last thing they did is syncronize their watches and phones and set timers for 4pm.

The breakdown with the Warbbler assignments left her alone so she decided to sing completely acapella. She felt her phone vibrate and took one last deep breath and began to sing.

Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
They didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

Rachel noticed they surprised looks of the people sitting in the office lounge and the clerk behind the desk looked curious before she grinned and ran back to the back office. When Rabbi Greensburg came out curiously she was beginning to think this all might work. She opened and removed her jacket to reveal a simple black shirt to match her black pleated skirt and a red tie around her neck. She danced around the room and the onlookers smiled and some closed their eyes to take in her voice.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~4pm at Grace Community Church~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Take care, TCB

Oh (sock it to me, sock it to me,
sock it to me, sock it to me)
A little respect (sock it to me, sock it to me,
sock it to me, sock it to me)

Two Warbblers sang the background and the robust voice Mercedes sang with struck the on lookers with awe.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~4pm at the rodeo bar~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Puck felt the vibrating in his pants and began strumming his guitar and nodded to the Warbbler who was helping him. This drew the attention of the staff around the bar, a few patrons who were hanging out, and the band that was setting up for the opening act.

Are you gonna take me home tonight
Ah down beside that red firelight
Are you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls
You make the rockin' world go round
Hey
I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew love before I left my nursery, huh
Left alone with big fat fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman you made a bad boy out of me
Hey hey!

I've been singing with my band
Across the wire across the land
I seen every blue eyed floozy on the way, hey
But their beauty and their style
Went kind of smooth after a while
Take me to them dirty ladies every time
C'mon

Oh wont you take me home tonight?
Oh down beside that red firelight
Oh and you give it all you got
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round

When they started whooping excitedly he felt his nerves leave his gut and he gave them a shit eating grin.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~4:02pm on the west side of Main Street~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Rachel danced out of the JCC seeing Mercedes making her way out of the Grace Community Church. They met up at where Main Street began and transitioned into doing the bum! Bum!'s for Don't Stop Believin'.

They were soon joined by Puck who chimed in with the bum!'s and started strumming his guitar. and then Finn and Quinn. When Finn joined the group on the side walk making their way down Main Street he broke out into the first lyrics of Don't Stop Believin'. The band music played through the speakers and people wandering along the sidewalks stopped to stare. People from the church, the JCC, and the rodeo bar were following them curiously.

Mike and Tina joined the fray with some complicated dancing that had people in the crowd cheering and laughing in amusement.

The Warbblers hung to the back of the crowd to pass out the Gleerbooks and Santana and Sam danced out of the payless shoes with Sam giving Santana a twirl. They carefully minded the light traffic on the road as they crossed the road to join the group just as Artie came out to join the group with Brittany pushing him banging her head to the music and the crowd behind him got steadily larger.

Lauren, Blaine, and Kurt joined them at the end of their journey down the road and when they reached the park New Directions turned to face the crowd which cheered and clapped. Rachel stepped up to address the large crowd that they hadn't expected to gather.

"We are New Directions! They glee club at McKinely High School! We'll be representing Lima in New York this year at the National show choir championships! We'll perform one more number if that's okay?" At the whooping and hollaring from the rodeo bar patrons Rachel grinned. "This next song won us Regionals! It's an original song written by my teammates! This is Loser Like Me!"

Yeah, you may think that I'm a zero
But, hey, everyone you wanna be
Probably started off like me
You may say that I'm a freakshow (I don't care)
But, hey, give me just a little time
I bet you're gonna change your mind

All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right

Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to fade you out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me

Push me up against the locker
And hey, all I do is shake it off
I'll get you back when I'm your boss
I'm not thinkin' 'bout you haters
'Cause hey, I could be a superstar
I'll see you when you wash my car

All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right

Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up-up in the air
Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up, 'cause I don't care
You can throw your sticks, and you can throw your stones
Like a rocket, just watch me go
Yeah, l-o-s-e-r
I can only be who I are

The crowd cheered and a police car slowed seeing that there didn't seem to be any delinquent behavior in the crowd they left them be. Rachel was shocked when people started depositing money in an open guitar case that looked suspciously like Puck's. They'd find out later if they were able to garner sponsoring but for now New Directions enjoyed the rush of excitement from performing.

~G~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~The Next Glee Rehearsal~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Over the weekend after their performance the AV club had posted a compilation of the video footage they'd collected on YouTube and it went viral instantly. The local newspapers were knocking on the Glee Clubber's doors for interviews and they promised the reporters to answer their questions at the Glee rehearsal monday. They needed to tell Mr. Shuester before things got out of hand. Or..well more out of hand...

The Lima Letter was being especially insistent because the boy and girl they'd written an article about a week before for saving a small boy from being hit by a car were two members of the Glee Club that was putting Lima OH on the map.

New Directions arrived to rehearsal early and waited for Mr. Shuester to come in. They did not have to wait for long because he came in looking ecstatic ten minutes before rehearsal was to start. "You guys! Principal Figgins just told me that the JCC, Payless, and the rodeo bar have offered to sponsor our trip to Nationals! They've made very generous donations!"

"Mr. Shue there is something we have to tell you." Rachel spoke gravely, hoping he wouldn't take the news too hard for the reckless thing they'd done.

Mr. Shuester smirked. "I know all about it Rachel. And it was genius!"

"Really?" Rachel beamed.

"Yes! Whose idea was it?" he asked looking about the room.

"It was all Rachel's idea." Finn smiled and Rachel blushed from embarressment.

"I could have never done it without everyone's amazing voices and dancing! Mike! You were wonderful!" Rachel praised the lanky asian teen who grinned and shook his head.

"Nah~ We just did what we always do. Sing and dance you thought of the idea and that's what got us sponsors." Mike reminded. Rachel blushed and Puck grinned.

"Just take a compliment babe and come sit on big daddy's lap." He patted his thigh and Rachel's face became roughly the color apple red. She plopped back into her seat nervously and Puck took her hand reassuringly.

"Reporters are going to come today to write stories about us Mr. Shue they wanted to meet our teacher." said Quinn.

"I'm so proud of you guys! We're going to Nationals!" They cheered and exchanged grins. Things were looking up for New Directions.

~G~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~The following Friday~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Noah...I'm not ready~" Rachel whined trying to pull out of Noah's firm grip.

"Aww come on baby. It's on your list." He purred in her ear as he stroked her hip. "It'll only hurt at first I swear."

"My dads will kill me Noah!" she squeaked. Puck kissed down her neck enticingly.

"They don't have to know Rach..."

Rachel moaned as he sucked harshly on her neck. She knew he was trying to leave hickies and she'd already scolded him about that too...she felt her resolve weakening. "Alright...but just a small tattoo."

Puck mentally cheered. When he'd noticed a very enticing activity on her Deviancy list and had to get her to get the tattoo. It would be sooooo hot. She wanted it anyway! She was the one that wrote it on her list. He just had to drag her to the tattoo parlor. He'd already bribed the artist to not ask any silly questions like Rachel's age and now he'd finally gotten her to agree.

"Where should I get it? It can't be anywhere visible..." Rachel murmured as she studied the options inside a large three ring binder.

She felt Puck's hand creek up the back of her thigh and under her skirt. She squeaked and tried to squirm away but he was having none of that. His hand gave her right cheek a firm squeeze then drifted up to above the cheek at her hip on her back. "Right here." he growled huskily and Rachel whimpered at his tone. He kept his right hand where it was and then fished into his left pocket for a folded piece of paper. "Take a look at this..."

She opened it to see a neat simple drawing of a star that had intricate vines weaving around the points and a small pink flower curved in front of it. Rachel gasped and stared up at Puck dreamily. "Oh it's perfect Noah! Did you draw this?"

Puck shrugged nonchalantly while Rachel beamed at him with pride. That look never failed to make him feel ten feet tall. "You are very good Noah! Have you ever considered taking art classes?"

Like I'm not enough of a nerd by just being in Glee. "Nah it's nothin' babe."

Rachel turned to the artist and showed him the picture. "I'd like this please!" The artist nodded and praised Puck's picture making Rachel grin as she laid out on the table.

After a lot of pain and crying where Puck held her hand and sang Sweet Caroline until she'd calmed down Rachel walked out of the tattoo parlor wincing as she resisted the urge to rub the bandage on her lower back. Puck pulled out the list and Rachel handed him the star. He placed it on and gave Rachel a hug. "You did good babe. And it's going to look so hot when you're all healed up. I won't be able to keep my hands off you."

"Well keep your hands above the waist for now, Noah. That really hurt."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~End Chapter 6~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
