A/N I am in a writing mood… so I'm gonna update! :
Disclaimer: Still don't own it! D:
Previously: "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!"
Rachel POV
"I what?" Rachel spat out the words, shocked that Santana would even suggest such a thing.
"You wanted to see Puck. We all know you like him." Santana said it like it was obvious, and clearly it was because Brittany nodded. Rachel just stared at the two in front of her, until the boys arrived with their food. Noah placed her food in front of her, and pulled out his spicy chicken sandwich.
"Thanks Noah"
"No prob, Berry." He said it around a bite of sandwich. This now looked extremely tasty. They had all been eating in silence until Santana spoke,
"So, what have you boys been up to?" as Mike explained the wonders of Call of Duty, Rachel stared at Noah's yummy looking sandwich.
"Berry?" she looked into his eyes and blushed. "You want a bite?" He had his eyebrow raised in that sexy way, WAIT! Did she say sexy? Well, it kind of was. She just nodded and expected him to hand the sandwich over to her, but instead he shoved it into her face.
Rachel took a bite and swallowed, but screamed directly after. "Noah! What was that for?" he shrugged in an innocent way and muttered,
"You asked for a bite." At that even Rachel cracked up. She was laughing so hard, she forgot her one rule while laughing: never snort. So, naturally she snorted. LOUDLY! At that, Noah and the rest of the group began laughing too. Rachel blushed deeply and stopped laughing. She expected for Santana to call her Man-hands and walk away, but it didn't come. What did come was completely unexpected, "That was probably the cutest thing I ever heard, babe."
"Cute?" Rachel was really shocked that the hot, so called, badass would call her cute.
"Totally" Rachel flushed an even darker shade of red at his comment. She just looked down at her salad and finished eating quickly. After the laughter had died down, Rachel realized, she was the only female at the table. Frazzled she questioned,
"Where'd San and Britt go?" Mike answered her quickly,
"The bathroom, they asked if you needed to go. You must've not heard 'em." At the realization of her spacing out, Rachel once again turned crimson. For some reason, she kept blushing, and one thing was for sure: Rachel did not like it.
"Oh, uh so Matt," Rachel turned her attention to the large football player, "Do you play an instrument?" Matt looked generally surprised she had asked him, but before he could answer, Santana and Brittany returned, arms linked. It was Santana, who spoke first,
"So, boys, we were planning on going to get a new wardrobe for Rachel. If you would like to join us?" Both Matt and Mike looked hesitant, but Noah had a smirk on his face right away. So, Puck of course was the first to speak,
"Hell yes." Santana and Brittany winked at each other and moved to pick up the rest of the trash.

The first store they drug Rachel into, was one that Rachel thought was very out there. It wasn't really her style, but when she said this, Santana's response was as simples as,
"What style?" It kind of hurt a little bit, but they were trying to help.
They walked into Forever 21 and Rachel was dragged right away to look at the bottoms. As she looked at the entire store, Rachel got more nervous.
"Ok, Berry. You have a great pair of legs, so we are going to accent them and make sure everyone knows they are awesome." At this, all three of the boys grinned like fools.
"San's right, Rachel, we are gonna pick out some shorts and skirts, then some shirts to go with them. We don't want you walking around topless." After that comment Puck couldn't help but say something himself,
"Yeah, we actually do." Once again, Rachel reddened at Noah's open flirting. She had been smiling sweetly at Noah, while the other girls had picked out 2 pairs of jean shirts and a really cute skirt. Brittany then directed her into the changing room,
"Go change. Just wear that shirt and we'll pick you out a dress or two." Rachel begrudgingly did as she was told by the blond.

As Rachel walked out of the dressing room in jean shorts, Noah was stunned speechless. In fact, his jaw nearly hit the floor. Rachel smirked to herself and made a sarcastic comment,
"Hey Puck, eyes are up," and she tilted his chin up towards her, "here." They were staring into each others eyes and Rachel had never seen such beautiful eyes. They were brown, but had a touch of green in them as well. Rachel was about to press her lips against his, until a voice interrupted them.
"Hey boys and girls!" Rachel glanced up to see the only boy who would shop here willingly, and next to him was a gothic girl and a mocha colored girl.
"Hello Kurt, Mercedes, and Tina." Rachel put a fake smile on her face. Not that she didn't like her fellow Glee Clubbers, but she was in the middle of something moments before. Kurt had noticed this, and decided rather to question her here, he'd talk to Santana.
"How did you get her in those shorts?" Only Kurt would question that, "They look fantastic!" At this, Rachel finally actually looked down at herself. As she did, she gasped quietly, and ran to a mirror.
"I look," she paused looking for the right word. Puck and the boys decided to attempt to help her out.
"Good?" Mike was the first, and just polite she was sure.
"Fine!" Matt was the next to say something, that received him a glare from Santana.
"Great!" Kurt's input just made Rachel giggle.
"I have several words." Rachel rolled her eyes and Noah, but motioned for him to continue, before he could continue, she said,
"Pick two." With a smirk on his face he stated simply,
"Ok, you look sexy and hott are at the top, so I'll use them." For what seemed like the billionth time today, Rachel once again flushed.
"So? What are ya'll doing tonight?" It was Mercedes voice that brought Rachel back from her intense staring contest with Noah. Rachel looked at Santana, wanting her to answer.
"Well, after we got Rachel several new outfits, we didn't have anything planned." Mercedes thought for a moment and seemed to have come to a conclusion.
"You do have plans now. A glee pool party at my place, my parents are outta town and I was planning on having Kurt and Tina over anyway, so why not everyone?" This time it was Puck who answered,
"I think it sounds fun." Seeing everyone eyes go wide, he elaborated, "I mean, if your parents are gone, it should be fun right?" Rachel moved her eyes in a circular motion and chuckled out a response.
"I agree with Noah. Cedes' you want me to bring anything?" Turning to Kurt, Mercedes then questioned him something Rachel couldn't hear. Mercedes then moved to tell the other girls, excluding Rachel. She frowned at that, but allowed the girls to talk. Finally turning back to Rachel, chocolate thunder said,
"Well, I have decided it will now be a gleepover. Ya know, a glee sleepover? Anyway, Santana will tell you what you'll need to get, but for now we gotta get going! Bye guys!" After saying her piece, the trio turned, and left. What's with this spit?
"Did anyone get that?" Rachel turned to a puzzled Matt, which cause her to giggle, but it was Brittany who answered,
"No, but I don't get most stuff." Oh, such a sweet and interesting girl.
"What I heard is that we only have time to get Rachel these shorts and a new bikini. So, to ME that screams, 'Bye bye boys'" after saying so, Santana pushed Rachel back into the small changing room and muttered, "I wasn't kidding. Goodbye." And she shooed the boys away. Assuming she'd see Noah later, Rachel and Brittany both yelled,
"Bye boys!"

"Rachel! Its just not right! It doesn't look, you!" Santana had just turned down the 5th bathing suit Rachel had tried on and Rachel was getting annoyed.
"Fine then San! Go pick me out one!" Huffing, Rachel plopped down on the bench inside the dressing room.
"Fine! I will!" Santana walked back towards Rachel ten minutes later, after having searched the entire Macy's swimsuit section. "I think this one's perfect. It's so you, its not even funny."
Rachel looked at the swim suit handed to her and she fell in love. It was so her! It was a bikini of course, and it was pink and brown plaid! How much more her could you possibly get? After slipping into the suit, Rachel stepped out of the small room to get her new found friends opinions.
Their reactions were not quite what she had expected though.
"Holy crap, Rachel!" Brittany said this even before she was completely out of the dressing room.
"Damn, Rach! You look incredible! You are buying it!" Santana's reaction was the one that shocked her more, "But what do YOU think?" At that, Rachel had to think for a moment. What did she think? The first word that popped into her head was,
"Perfect!"
A/N And that is the end of THIS mall trip! I will post links to the females swim suits on my profile! Next chapter: Gleepover! :D See ya'll soon!
