A/N Ok so I decided that I am going to talk about the season finale of Glee for a sec. Now of course I want your opinions on the matter as well as on the story! Ok, I was completely upset with the whole Finn/Rachel kiss. They are fine together but their SO cliché! And I thought the whole Rachel's mom adopting Beth was pretty awesome! I loved that! I sorta wanted Puck and Quinn to raise her but I'm glad it was like that! At the beginning of Glee I was Finn/Rachel and Puck/Quinn, but as I got more into it I became Puck/Rachel and Finn/Quinn… I like them all now! I like Puck/Rachel best of course but I might be okay with it ending in Rachel/Finn… ok in the words of my buddy Joshua, "That is a lie! You are a compulsive liar!" Yeah, that's josh for ya. :) um… Will/Emma at the end was awesome. I cried for a while… The songs were amazing! All Journey… good idea! I hated Vocal Adrenaline winning! They weren't that good! I made a Puckleberry Smoothie which WILL be used in THIS chapter…. Anyway… I might rant at the end! This is already 204 words!

Disclaimer: Nothing, I own nothing! :) Excluding my smoothie! Oh and extra long chapter this time, seeing as I feel guilty for pissing off Renee! So uh sorry! :) hope this helps! 2 part chapter… next part up as soon as I get some reviesw! Mainly glee club stuff and friendship for Rachel… maybe a lil Puckleberry in there too! Enjoy and review!

Rachel POV

As soon as Noah left and she she shut the door behind him, she slid down to the floor, leaning against the door. She put her head in her hands as she smiled quietly to herself. She then stood and walked back into her room. She had to get ready for dance classes that she happened to have with Santana Lopez and Brittany Williams, she knew she'd be bombarded with their questions.

~later in dance~

She walked in 10 minutes like she usually did and began stretching. But unusually Brittany and Santana walked in just moments after she had began to stretch. They sat down next to her, stopping their conversation and just stared at Rachel.

After some internal debating she decided to question them. "Can I help you?" It was Santana, who answered,

"Why yes Rachel, you can." Rachel replied without missing a beat.

"How?" This time Brittany spoke,

"What happened after you and Puck left the party? Oh, and I wanted to say thanks for believing San when she said she liked Glee at sectionals, and for not making me feel more stupid for giving Coach Sylvester the set list." Rachel was shocked to hear Brittany thanking her, but she didn't miss the question at the beginning. She didn't know anyone but Mercedes knew she took Puck home.

"What do you mean what happened? And you're welcome." Rachel muttered the beginning but rose her voice at the end and smiled attentively at the blond.

"Did you do the nasty with him? I don't care, but we've decided your going to be our friend, and I don't let my friends get hurt." Santana spoke this and said it strait forwardly. Which was slightly surprising. Rachel answered, and decided to tell them the truth, why not?

"Well, no I didn't 'do the nasty' with him." She put air quotes around the phrase, "but I took him back to my house and slept BESIDE him." She emphasized the word beside carefully. "When he left this morning he said thanks and kissed my cheek." A blush crept to her face but before either of her new 'friends' could say anything their teacher walked in and started class.

~after class~

Rachel had received stares from both Brittany and Santana throughout their entire class. When the class finally ended and she was picking up her things from the side Rachel was once again approached by the cheerios. She didn't bother to say anything before Santana spoke.

"We are going to go back to Brittany's to change and then go to the mall. Do you wanna come?" her question surprised Rachel a lot more than she wished it did.

"I actually didn't bring a change of clothes." Was Rachel's lame reply.

"My clothes will fit you! Plus, then we can do something about your awful wardrobe." Brittany was the one to come up with the solution and then insult her all in one. Although she said it with a smile so it made it seem less rude. Rachel really didn't want to go but, she had nothing better to do, other than wondering what Noah was doing. Wait! She likes Finn; she just didn't want to be his second choice, right?

"Sure, I'd love to go! Do you want me to follow you in my car or what?" Rachel was hoping that was the answer but she wasn't getting what she wanted today. She found out when Brittany smiled happily and said,

"No need! Mike dropped us off on his way to pick up Matt to go to Puck's to play a game that had something to do with calling angels." Rachel thought for a moment and remembered hearing Finn mention something about beating Mike in a game called HALO and Puck kicking his, er, butt in Call of Duty.

Rachel was brought out of her thought by Santana's speaking. "So, Rachel are you good with directions or do you want me to drive?" Truth to be told Rachel wasn't so good with directions, unless they were very good ones.

"I can drive. Just let me call my dads-" she paused remembering they were out of town on business and wouldn't be back until later that week. "Actually, my dads aren't here, so I can do whatever I plea." The smile that crept onto Santana's face was slightly creepy, but in a good way I guess.

Rachel smiled and turned to leave assuming the girls would follow her. They did. She stepped out into the sunny air and realized she'd have to put the top down of her 2010 Camaro. She continued walking and unlocked her door, until she realized the cheerios that had been following her had stopped. She turned around worried they had backed out, but questioned anyway.

"Are you girls okay?" Apparently her question proved to pull Santana out of her trance to answer.

"Rachel! Your car! Are you loaded?" Rachel resisted the urge to roll her eyes. This is why she didn't drive her baby to school.

"Yes, my dads make a lot of money and enjoy spoiling me. But get in please." Santana glanced at the blond next to her but eventually tugged her into the backseat. Santana was sitting beside Rachel in the front seat.

They sat in silence while Rachel started the car. The silence was broken when Rachel asked, "Where are going?" she directed the question towards Santana rather than Brittany seeing as she was closer.

"She lives in SW 32nd blvd. close by the St. Rita Medical Center. Where Puck's mom works." Rachel knew she worked there but she didn't know where it was. Santana could tell and said, "We are on Pennsylvania Ave, so go strait till you get to-" she stopped and could tell Rachel was confused, "I'll tell you when to turn." And she shut up.

They had been in the car for a few moments before Rachel got fed up with the silence and turned on the radio. The first song she heard on was the song 'This Afternoon' by Nickleback. Rachel personally loved the song but wasn't sure if the other girls did, so she started to change the song when her hand was slapped away. Rachel looked up at Santana shocked to see her smiling and singing along.

"So? We like Nickleback, sue us!" Santana said it with a chuckle in her voice. But instead of questioning her Rachel just began singing along with Santana and Brittany.

'You better hang on if you're taggin' along
Cause we'll be doin this 'till 6 in the mornin'
Nothin' wrong with goin' all night long
Tough to put the brakes on,
Doesn't matter when you'd rather

Get up, and go out
Me and all my friends
We drink up, We fall down
And then we do it all again
Just sittin around, hangin out this afternoon

"Hang a left here." Rachel did as Brittany instructed. It was becoming less shocking that she was smart. "Follow Main 'till San says to turn." Rachel nodded and started listening to the radio, only to hear the station changing. Santana took it upon herself to find something suitable. She stopped when she heard a familiar female voice. According To You by Orianthi.

Rachel didn't say anything, although she recognized it, she didn't know it. She kept quite until she was told to take another turn. "Turn here. Right." Santana muttered because she was singing. Rachel did as she was told and saw they were on SW 32nd St.. Woo hoo!

"I live at the house with no cars out front." Brittany said it slightly dazed but Rachel didn't care. Surprising as it was, there was only one house with that description on the street. Turning into the driveway, Rachel got out as soon as she parked. Brittany and Santana soon followed.

~inside the house. Santana POV~

It felt sort of weird to be nice to Rachel. But since she had been nice to them, she felt in return she owed her something. Santana loved Brittany to death, she was her best friend and anyone who was friends with Britt was her friend.

After getting ready and approving an outfit for Rachel, Santana did something she normally would never do. She told the other two she had to pee and went into the bathroom and locked the door. From there she dialed Matt's number.

"Hey baby. How was dance?"

"It was good, Rachel and me came back to Brittany's." was her simple reply.

"Wait! Crazy Berry?" Matt was shocked.

"Yes Matt! But don't call her that! When she tones down the crazy she's cool. But anyway, we are going to go to the mall and you, Mike and Puck need to meet us there."

"Why? You never invite to go on your 'mall trips'" she could tell he wasn't thrilled.

"Because, I am going to set up Rachel and Puck! Now meet us there!" She then slid her phone shut and hung up on him. She then remembered he didn't know where to meet them. She looked at the clock on her phone and she saw it was 3. She was hungry.

She sent him a simple "food court" message and prayed Puck would come.

~Brittany POV~

Santana walked out of the bathroom after a long time. Was she pooping in there? Brittany, being Santana's bff asked her question. Her reply was a, "No my period." And that was that.

"To the Mall!" Brittany said it excitedly not cause she wanted to shop, but to eat!

~At the Mall, Rachel POV~

Rachel walked into the mall with Santana linked on one arm and Brittany linked on the other. It was comforting. Before she could ask what they were going to do first Brittany announced happily.

"I'm hungry!" Santana smiled and they nodded and walked toward the food court. Rachel was in the mood for a salad so she said,

"I want a salad from Chik-Fil-A, so I'll be back." But before she could head towards it, Santana was talking to her.

"Hey look! Its Matt, Mike, and Puck!" she said it like they do on stupid sitcoms and she smiled real big.

"Yeah, I'm gonna go get my salad now." Not that Rachel wasn't totally happy to see them. Wait! She wasn't! She thinks… Santana was speaking again though,

"No need! We'll have the boys sit with us and get it." She then stood and waved them over.

They joined them moments later, Mike and Matt both kissing their girlfriends. Where as Noah and Rachel just stood there for a moment, after a sec. Noah finally said,

"Hey Berry." Wow… how uh thoughtful?

"Hi Noah." By that point Mike and Britt were done sucking face and San and Matt were about to stop. Santana didn't waste a second before speaking.

"Why don't you boys go get us all a salad from Chik-Fil-A… ranch on mine and Britt's. Rach-?"

"Ranch please."

"Right so ranch all around and waters for everyone. Please." The boys with girlfriends looked annoyed where as Noah looked confused. He didn't let it phase him though, he went to order her salad anyway. Brittany muttered a very good question,

"Isn't it weird how they just show up to eat lunch at 3? Weren't they playing Angels Call?" in Santana's head she said 'dammit! Now Britt decides to be perceptive!'

"Good question Brittany. San, answer that for us please."

"Rachel, I called them and invited them to meet us here. I wanted to see Matt, Britt wanted to see Mike and we all know you wanted to see Puck!

A/N WOO WEE! This is al I can handle for now! Its 1:30 here and I am about to fall asleep! But since I decided I was gonna post a new chap before I fell asleep, I will! Thanks to Renee, who keeps me writing! Part 2 up soon!
