Disclaimer: I don't own Glee. If I did, it probably wouldn't be as good, but it'll have its benefits... like Mike Chang, Noah Puckerman, Matt Rutheford and Sam Evans having a contract that says that they have to take their shirts off in every single scene... ;)


"Babe? We're here" Puck woke Rachel up.

Kiss me beneath the milky twilight. Lead me out on the moonlit floor. Lift your open hand. Strike up the band and make the fireflies. Dance silver moon's sparkling… So kiss me. Ok, so my mind is still there… wouldn't yours?

"Mmm" was all the response Puck got.

"Hey, what's going on?" he asked worried when she didn't even opened her eyes.

"My dad was up all night with a fever" she said trying to open her eyes.

"Why didn't you call my mom?" Puck asked her.

"We did! She came by at about two in the morning" Rachel told him laughing that he didn't even noticed.

"Oh" Puck said awkwardly. "Did he got better?"

"Kind of" Rachel told him.

"Hey, why don't you stay here and sleep through the first period?" Puck asked her sweetly worried that she didn't look well.

"I can't. I have Math and if I don't go, I won't get it ever" she told him as they both got out of the car.

"Well, do what I do" he told her and she looked confused at him. "Don't go to Math" he told her in an obvious tone. She laughed and rolled her eyes a little.

"I'll keep that in mind, thanks Noah" she said as they walked in the school.

"Hey hold on! What happened with Chang yesterday?" he asked her protectively.

Lie! Lie now!

"N-nothing" she said not looking at him.

"Rachel-"

HE KISSED ME! AND IT WAS THE BEST KISS EVER! AND I WANT TO KISS HIM AGAIN…. AND AGAIN…. AND ONE MORE TIME!

"He asked me out" she told her omitting the part of the kiss because she didn't feel like dealing with Puck right now… but still, she couldn't stop feeling his lips on hers.

"He asked you out?" Puck said with an arched eyebrow.

"Yes" she simply said as they made their way to school.

"And did you say yes?"

"Yes" she said looking back at him. "Look, I know you're worried about me and that's really sweet-badass of you but I like Mike Noah. Please don't make a huge deal out of it" she begged him with huge puppy eyes. Puck couldn't say no to her. She was going through so much and Mike appeared to be nice to her and she seemed happy.

"Ok, but if he hurts you, he's dead" he said kissing her forehead and she smiled.

"I know" she said laughing a little and they entered school. "Oh, no!" Rachel said as she saw the whole school covered with cheerios posters all over the place. "Is it that time again?"

"What time?" Puck asked.

"The time where the stupid cheerios do their kissing booths and the candy gifts and the car wash and everything to raise money for a stupid dance and they can shove in everyone's face how popular they are?" she asked trying not to laugh.

So cliché… brought to you by… well, every single teenage movie there is.

"Alright! Free candy!" Puck said smirking. "I'll see you later, babe" he said smiling at Rachel and walking away.

"Ok, I want every single detail!" Kurt said appearing out of nowhere and making Rachel jump a little.

"Kurt! I told you to stop doing that!" Rachel said annoyed.

"Yeah, yeah whatever! Tell me everything!" he said smiling like crazy as they started making their way to their lockers.

You look like the cat from Alice in Wonderland. Creepy.

"Well" she said smirking knowing it was killing Kurt. "We kissed!"

"YOU WHAT!" Kurt yelled making a few students turn to look at them.

Thanks I've always wanted to have my own stand-up show Kurt!

"Shhh! Could you not yell! Noah doesn't know! And I'm not planning on telling Sam either!"

"Why not? You should be shouting it through the school's intercom as we speak!"

Huh! I should be shouting it through the school's intercom… that'd be weird though.

"I can't do that! I don't even know like what we are or anything" Rachel told him looking down.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, he kissed me and then he walked me home and yes, he asked me out again, but I don't know… you know" she said nervously.

"What on earth are you talking about Rachel?" Kurt asked really confused.

"Kurt! He's one of the most popular guys in school. He's like one of the richest guys in Ohio. He has cheerios throwing themselves at him. Why would he even want to be seen with me? The girl that works three jobs, has about three friends, and gets slushied almost every day?" she asked him sadly.

"Ok, first of all, the fact that you work three jobs only makes you a wonderful person for taking care of your father honey, second, I better be on that short list of yours which by the way has grown in the past weeks, and third, Mike may be all those things, but he's different from the rest of the jocks. He's real. And I don't think he will care about his reputation or things like that. I think he cares more about you" Kurt told her sincerely.

"I know he's different… I just" she sighed sadly. "I guess I feel that this is all too good to be true and it's all going to explode in my face. Things like this don't happen to girls like me Kurt" Rachel told him.

"Rachel! Stop over-thinking this! Mike clearly likes you and you like him too! So just enjoy the moment" Kurt said smiling at her. Rachel couldn't help but smile back at him. Who was she kidding? She was more than happy.

Kurt's right! Enjoy the moment!

When she started walking towards her class with Kurt, she immediately felt the purple iced syrup hitting her face.

And the moment's over.

"First warning Berry" she heard Claire with Quinn the rest of the cheerios laughing at her and walking away.

"You were saying?" Rachel asked Kurt sarcastically. And then, she spotted Mike entering the school with Matt. "Shit! Let's get out of here!" she said grabbing Kurt's hand and running towards the nearest bathroom.

"Would you slow down? There is no way these shoes were made for running" Kurt said annoyed as they walked in the bathroom. "And why, may I ask, are we running from your charming prince?" he asked her smirking.

"Wow, Kurt, you've truly out-gayed yourself" Rachel said laughing a little. [A/N: quote from Mean Girls :)]

"Rach, you're avoiding the question" Kurt told her.

"Fine! I don't want him to see me covered in slushie ok?" she said annoyed while she started getting cleaned up.

The fact that I'm a loser is something that he should remember on his own.

"What did Claire mean when she said first warning?" Kurt asked confused as he helped Rachel.

"I don't know Kurt" Rachel said not wanting to talk about this anymore.

After she was done, she was running to her Math class since she was already late.

"Miss Berry, so nice of you to join us" Mr. Martin said sarcastically. "Please, take a seat" he said returning his view to the blackboard. Rachel started making her way towards the seat in the back of the class, when a cheerio stuck out her foot and made her trip, dropping her books on the floor.

"Oops" she said laughing stupidly and Rachel saw Quinn sitting next to her laughing too.

"Miss Berry" Mr. Martin said turning around when he heard the noise. "Is there a problem?"

A problem? No. There are many problems in this fucking school! And they have names and everything!

"No, sorry Mr. Martin" she said softly while she gathered her things and she saw someone walking towards her and helping her.

"You ok?" Matt asked her sweetly.

"Yeah, thanks" she said smiling back at him while he helped her up and they made their way to the back. While Mr. Martin talked Matt noticed Rachel's eyes were closing every now and then.

"Rach? Are you sure you're ok?" he whispered to her. "You look tired" he said smirking a little because he knew she had been with Mike yesterday.

"Um, yeah, just uh, had some trouble falling asleep" she said trying her best to smile.

"Really? Did Chang had to do with that?" he teased her smirking wider.

"Matthew!" Rachel said trying not to laugh and Matt could see the blush appearing on her face.

"Candy time!" a guy Rachel knew was on the football team entered dressed as a mailman, but with McKinley colors.

"Alright, hurry up" Mr. Martin said sitting on his desk.

"Great" Rachel said rolling her eyes.

"Oh, come on Rach. Maybe someone sent you one" Matt told her smiling and she just looked confused at him.

"Matt Rutheford?" the guy asked and Matt raised his hand. "Two for you!" he said tossing two candy bars at him.

"Thanks" Matt said smiling reading the little notes they had.

"Wow, Mr. Popular" Rachel mocked him giggling.

"Glenn Cocco?" he asked and a guy on the front raised his hand. "Four for Glenn Cocco! You go, Glenn Coco!" he said tossing four candy bars at him. "Rachel Berry?"

Mr. Mailman said WHAT? Did he just say MY name?

Rachel shyly raised her hand and the guy turned to look at her. "Oh, Rachel, here you go" he said smiling at her and walking over to hand a candy bar to her. Quinn was about to say something when the guy cut her off. "And none for Quinn Fabray. Bye" he said walking quickly out of the class. [A/N: Mean Girls again :D]

"Well? Who's it from?" Matt mocked Rachel, knowing exactly whom it was from.

'I didn't see you today doll :( meet me for lunch? ;) – Mike'

Rachel bit her bottom lip to keep her smile from growing wider and she couldn't help to feel millions of butterflies in her stomach.

Now I'm speechless, over the edge. I'm just breathless. I never thought that I'd catch this… lovebug again. Wait, why am I singing silly love songs? You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love longs… That wasn't a request, you idiot!

"How the hell did man-hands get a candy bar?" she heard Quinn furious in front of her. Matt saw the look on Rachel sadden a little.

"Don't listen to her, Rach. She's just pissed because stupid Finn never remembers to send her anything" he told her smiling and saw her smile too.


"Can you tell me again why doesn't your boyfriend help you with this?" Sam asked Rachel for like the fifth time while he helped her washing her hair.

"He's not my boyfriend!" Rachel answered annoyed for like the fifth time. "And asking the guy you like to help you get the slushie off your hair is not exactly the conversation I would like to have with Mike" she said standing up and grabbing Sam's towel and drying her hair.

"And why did it happen again?"

Oh, you know, same old… my face got thirsty!

"Claire told me to stay away from Mike" she said sadly sitting on the counter and Sam sat next to her. "The cheerios have been slushing me all day."

"Are you gonna stay away from him?" Sam asked confused. Rachel sighted sadly.

"I really like him Sam" she told him with sad eyes.

"I know you do Rach" Sam said with a little smile. "But is he really worth go to all this trouble? I mean, this is the third time we've been here Rach. The color isn't even coming out anymore" he said looking at her purple arm.

At least they've been grape slushies.

"I know but I have gym after lunch and then I'll get to shower" she said with a sad smile. Sam looked sadly at her, knowing she had avoided his other question. "What am I supposed to do Sam? He's a cute, smart, funny guy who happens to like me."

For some reason.

"And I like him, I just" she sighted. "I feel different with him you know? He makes me feel really happy and he just" she stopped and looked down. "Forget it."

"What?" Sam asked confused.

"You wouldn't get it" she told him.

"Try me" he told her and she looked at him unconvinced.

"It's like the whole world stops when I'm with him" she said with a little smile. "Like there's no one else but us and nothing really matters and somehow, no matter how weird I still think it is, it's like it just…" she stopped looking for a word.

"Fits" Sam finished for her and she turned to look surprised at him.

"Yeah" she said smiling. "How did you know?"

"You're talking to a guy who fell in love with a girl the second he saw her" he told her smiling.

"Ow, you really are a sweet guy Sammy" she said smiling at him and saw him blush a little. "Lucky is a lucky girl to have you" she said giggling a little. "Hey how was your date last night?"

"Well, I set the whole thing in my backyard to have dinner there" Sam started his story.

"Oh, that is so romantic" Rachel said with dreamy eyes.

"It would have been, but…. Well, you know what kind of food she likes, right?"

"Yeah, sweet and spicy… just like her" Rachel told him smiling.

"Right" Sam said letting out a little chuckle. "Well, I set up the whole thing with all of the sweet food she likes and… the spicy food. Anyways, I made this sweet and spicy chicken and she loved it, but it turned out it was way more spicy than sweet" he said blushing a little and Rachel immediately burst into laugh.

"Oh, no! You cannot take spicy food my friend!" she managed to say between laughs.

"Shut up! It wasn't funny! I was sweating horribly and I made a complete fool out of myself! When I reached for the water-"

"Oh my God! Water makes it worse! You're supposed to drink milk!" Rachel said holding her stomach for laughing so hard.

"Yeah! I know that now! I thought I was gonna die Rachel! I still can't feel my tongue" he said annoyed that Rachel wouldn't stop laughing.

"What did Lucky do?" Rachel said wiping away her laughter tears.

Don't tell Sam I said this, but I really needed this laugh.

"Well, she helped me, although I'm pretty sure she was trying not to laugh" Sam said awkwardly.

If it would have been me, I wouldn't have hold it.

"Ow, sorry that your date wasn't that good Sammy" Rachel said putting her hand on his shoulder.

"Are you kidding? That was probably the best date that I've had" he said smiling. "I'm gonna marry that girl" he told her hopping down from the counter and Rachel couldn't help but smile back at him.

"I'm really happy for you Sam" she said hugging him.

"Hey, you're gonna get that too, you know?" he told her sweetly. "I'm still not sure if it would be with Mike but you will… cause you deserve it" he said kissing her forehead.

"Thanks Sammy" she said laughing a little.

"Gotta get to class. I'll see you later, call me if this happens again" he said pointing at her arm and leaving the bathroom.

Rachel turned to look at herself in the mirror.

Ugh, if I dye my hair green, I'd look like Peanut.

She grabbed her bag and started running back to her class.

"Hey doll what's the rush?" Rachel immediately stopped in the middle of a deserted hallway and turned to her left to find Mike smiling sweetly at her.

Oh God! He's adorable!

"Running away from me?" he asked her pouting and with sad puppy eyes.

Scratch that. Now he's adorable!

"W-what? N-no of course not" she said laughing a little. Mike laughed a little at her nervousness and walked over her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned down to kiss her.

I could really get used to this.

"Hey" he said when they broke apart.

"Hi" she said blushing and smiling up at him.

"So, what brings you to this lovely hall?" he asked her.

"Oh- well, um, I'm just k-kind of late" she said looking down.

Stutter much?

"Late for what?" he asked confused. "Class started like twenty minutes ago."

"Right, um, I uh" she said nervously putting her hair behind her ear.

"Wait, why is your hair wet?" he asked confused.

Oh no.

"And, is that your shirt?" he asked looking at a shirt that said McKinley and it was way too big to be hers.

"Yeah?" she said awkwardly.

"Rach, what happened?" he asked worried.

Aaaand here we go.

"I got slushied" she said looking everywhere but his eyes.

"What? Who slushied you?" he asked getting upset.

I think it'd be easier to ask who didn't.

"Um, a couple of cheerios" Rachel answered awkwardly.

A couple? Actually, a couple of cheerios haven't slushied you.

"Rachel! You're arm is purple" he said worried looking at her arm.

"Um, yeah the color just um… kind of stung" she said rubbing her arm and looking down.

"Why- wait, how? And why are you wearing someone else's shirt?"

Ok, guys really have to stop watching shows like Law and Order.

"Well, Sam helped me and well, although my jeans didn't get stained, he gave me his shirt because I had already used my spare clothes" she said looking down. "And Tina's spare clothes and Mercedes'" she finished sadly.

"Wait, you mean you've had four slushies thrown at you?" Mike asked angrily.

"Not exactly" she said sadly and biting her lip and he looked at her confused. "I've been slushied four times. But each time it was at least two slushies" she said sadly.

"Oh my God" Mike said feeling his blood boil in anger but he focused on the small girl, shivering in front of him. "Come here doll" he said taking off his jacket and putting it on her. "I'm so sorry" he said kissing her forehead.

"Is not your fault Mike" she said with a sad smile.

"What else is wrong doll?" he asked putting some of her loose hair behind her ear.

"I'm just a little tired" she said awkwardly looking down.

"Come on" he said holding her hand and grabbing her bag.

"Mike, where are we going? I have class" she said confused.

"Rach, class started twenty minutes ago, you're already late. You might as well not go" he said winking at her.

"But-"

"But nothing doll, you're tired and you're cold and I bet you're hungry so I'm taking you to lunch… didn't you get my candy bar?"

"Y-yeah but I assumed it would be at lunch time" she said confused but never stopped following him.

"Yes, it was but then I remembered that you told me yesterday that you had to rehearse your Glee performance with the girls so, I'm taking you now" he said smiling at her.

The word you're looking for… Is YES!

"Um, ok" she said smiling brightly at him. "Wait, where are we going?"

"You'll see" he said smiling and leading her to the back of the building, where there was a large, open, grassy area. There were a few picnic tables scattered across the lawn, and a few flowerbeds along the wall of the building. The ground began to slope upwards further away from the building, and at the top of the hill was a grove of trees.

"Has this always been here?" she asked confused looking around.

"Yeah, but not too many people know about it" he said smiling. "Come on!"

He took her up the hill, to the copse of trees, and stopped in front of a large oak at the very back. He hoisted himself up onto one of the lower branches, then stood carefully, bracing himself against the wide trunk.

"What are you doing?" she asked him, but he just grinned boyishly down at her, and motioned her to climb up. "Michael! Get down here!" she said stomping her foot on the floor.

"Come on doll, you'll love the view from up here, I promise" he said smiling.

"But, what if I fall?" she asked knowing she wasn't the best at climbing trees.

"I won't let you fall" he said laughing a little. She sighed, then grabbed the branch and attempted to lift herself up onto it, not making it until he reached down to grab one of her arms and pull her up to sit on the branch.

"Wow" she said looking around.

"Yeah" Mike said smiling at her. The view was beautiful. All they could see was green. Rachel had no idea how this was here and she didn't know about it. It looked as if they were far away from everything. You couldn't even see the school building.

"How did you find this place?" she asked looking everywhere.

"Well, Matt and I found it" he said laughing a little bit. "We were throwing the football and then he didn't catch it and it ended up here" he explained to her. "I like to come here when I just want to get away from everything, you know? When I just need to think" he said smiling sweetly at her.

"It's beautiful" she said smiling at him.

"I know, right?" he said smiling at her. "Are you hungry?"

"A little" Rachel said smiling a little.

"Um, ok, I brought you something but you're not allowed to laugh" he said blushing.

"Ok?" she said confused but smiling. He opened his bag and got a brown bag out.

"I uh, wanted to do something for you but, I don't really know how to cook, so um… This is the only thing I can do" he said blushing and handing her the bag. Rachel took it smiling and opened it.

Really minions? You can't choose another time to host a butterfly party in my stomach?

"Mike, you really didn't have to do that" she said taking two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches out of the bag and handing out one to him.

It's peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time! Ha! I fell in love with Stewie when he did that!

"It's really nothing compared to your cooking" he said looking down.

Peanut butter jelly! Peanut butter jelly! Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat!

"Well, for what is worth, peanut butter and jelly is my favorite" she said smiling at him and taking a bite. "Specially grape jelly" she said laughing a little.

"Yeah, I knew that grape slushie was your favorite so I thought maybe grape jelly was too" he said smiling at her.

And I'm melting. And I keep on melting.

"Thank you Mike" she said smiling dreamily at him.

"Anytime doll" he said kissing her head. "You ok?" he asked worried. She looked really tired.

"Yeah, I just kind of had some trouble sleeping last night" she said smiling.

"How come?" he asked confused.

"Um, my dad wasn't feeling well so um…" she said awkwardly.

"I'm sorry" he said holding her hand. "Was he better this morning?" he asked really worried. He knew she was making it sound like he just got the flue or something, but he knew the whole story.

"Yeah, a little" Rachel said trying to smile but Mike could see her exhausted eyes.

"Come here" he said picking her up, careful not to let go.

"Mike! I'm gonna fall" she said terrified and gripping his arm with her hands.

"No you won't doll, I'm not letting go" he said pulling her towards him and wrapping his arms around her. "Why don't you try to sleep?"

"I can't sleep here" she said looking at him and giggling.

"Why not?"

"I'm on a tree" she said in an obvious tone.

I'm not a monkey! Although it is pretty cool when monkeys hang themselves from their tail… wait, how did I get here?

"Sure you can" Mike said holding her closer and kissing her cheek. "I've got you" he whispered in her ear.

She didn't know why. But something in his voice, and those three little words, made her feel safe even if she was that high from the ground. She rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes while he ran one of his hands through her hair. What she didn't expect was what happened next.

"My head is stuck in the clouds. She begs me to come down, says 'Boy quit foolin' around'. I told her 'I love the view from up here, warm sun and wind in my ear. We'll watch the world from above as it turns to the rhythm of love'" Rachel felt her whole heart melting when she heard him singing softly to her.

Well, when you put it that way, I could even sleep in… ok, maybe there's no stranger place to fall asleep than a tree.

"I like your voice" he heard her whisper almost asleep and he just smiled.

Before he could even finish the song, he felt the small girl in his arms breathing slowly, profound asleep.

"Night doll" he whispered kissing her head.


"Oh my God! I'm so sorry I'm late! I lost track of time and-" she said walking inside the Choir Room.

"Relax Berry! Quinn isn't here either" Santana said while she was throwing darts using Karofksly's picture as a target.

"You look like a grape" Brittany told Rachel staring at her arm. "Like a grape gummy bear" she said laughing.

"Um, ok" Rachel said laughing a little too. "What is she doing?" Rachel asked confused looking at Mercedes, Tina and Brittany sitting watching Santana.

"Karofsky slushied Santana" Brittany told them.

"What? Why?" Rachel asked shocked. The cheerios never got slushied.

"Because I wouldn't sleep with him!" Santana said furious.

"What?" Tina asked shocked.

"Are you serious?" Mercedes asked equally shocked.

"What? You think I can't say no?" Santana asked a little offended.

"Well, you did say that was your thing" Rachel said confused.

"Yeah, well I got sick of him ok?" Santana said going back to throwing darts. "Ugh, he thinks he's so fucking cool! I was his first you know?" she said looking back at the girls.

Yeah, too much information.

"I gave that asshole everything and now he thinks he can slushie me? I was half a virgin when I met him!" she said annoyed. [A/N: Mean Girls again! haha]

"How do you get to be half a virgin?" Mercedes whispered confused to Rachel.

"I'm not sure I want to know" Rachel said shivering a little.

"Is that Chang's jacket?" Santana asked realizing Rachel had it in her hands. The rest of the girls turned to look at it seeing it for the first time.

"Um, y-yeah" Rachel said awkwardly.

"Are you guys together already?" Brittany asked excited.

"What?" Tina, Mercedes and even Santana turned to look at her excited.

"Ok, I'm here. Let's start" Quinn said walking into the Choir Room. "What are you doing?" she asked looking at Santana.

I never thought I would say this, but I'm glad Barbie came in.

"Nothing! Let's just do this thing" Santana said annoyed.

"Ok, so we start with me in the center of the stage singing the first verse-"

"Hold on!" Santana snapped. "That's not how we got it! It starts with me, Berry and Jones" she said getting upset.

"No, I changed it" Quinn said looking at the papers. "It was only right, I mean, I am the lead and it's just obvious I start-"

"Shut up Fabray! This isn't even your song! So it's my way!" she said getting the papers out of Quinn's hands.

"Ugh, fine! If you want to see us make fools of ourselves have it your way" Quinn said rolling her eyes and sitting down.

"Ok, here are our outfits" Mercedes said smiling handing the dresses to everyone else.

"We're wearing this?" Tina asked grabbing her dress.

"Yeah, they're just like the dress she wears in the video, except different colors" Mercedes told her.

"And the shoes" Brittany said handing them too.

"Wait! Six-inch heels?" Rachel said taking the shoes.

Wasn't my act at the party enough for you people?

"Yeah, they go perfectly with the outfit… plus, the song says it" Brittany told her.

"Great" Rachel said sarcastically as they all put on the shoes.

"Ok, let's get started! Berry, Jones up!" Santana said and they walked over to stand next to her.

"Five, six, seven eight" Brittany counted when the music started. A few steps into the song, Rachel stumbled and fell.

"Great job man-hands" Quinn said laughing.

I take what I said back.

"Sorry" Rachel said getting up.

"It's ok Rach, let's try again" Brittany said helping her up.


"Alright ladies I don't want you to leave here until your feet start bleeding! Fifteen more laps now! You think that's hard? I'm living with hepatitis that's hard!" Coach Sylvester yelled at them before gym class was over.

"Why is Coach Sylvester here again?" Tina asked annoyed as they ran around the gym.

"Mrs. Stevenson is out again" Brittany said.

"I heard Coach Sylvester pushed her down the stairs" Rachel said a little scared. All of the sudden, she tripped. Well, someone made her trip.

Again? Wow, I feel so special!

"Sorry man-hands" Claire said laughing and walking away.

"You ok, Berry?" Rachel looked up shocked to see Santana handing out her hand to her.

"Um, y-yeah" she said taking it and standing up.

Am I drunk again?

"Come on Rach, if we stop, she'll make us run again" Brittany said pulling her and they started running together.

"So, you and Chang?" Santana asked her smirking making Rachel almost trip again.

"Um- uh"

"Oh, come on Rach. Please tell me you guys are together already" Brittany said smiling.

"Hey, why does Brittany know about this already?" Tina asked a little offended.

"Well, because I went over to her house on Saturday to get ready for the party and she kind of figured it out" Rachel told them.

"So there is something going on" Santana said smirking. Rachel bit her lip trying not to smile so much. "Wait, so you guys are like for real?" she asked her and Rachel nodded. "I mean, like, you and Chang?" Rachel nodded again. "Shut up!" Rachel shook her head. "Shut up!"

"I didn't say anything" Rachel simply said. [A/N: Mean Girls again XD with a twist]

"Well, then say something!" Santana told her.

"I can't" Rachel told her.

*Cough, cough* I'm sick.

"Boo, you whore" Santana said rolling her eyes. [A/N: probably the best quote from Mean Girls :D]

"Santana!" Brittany told her. "Come on, Rach. We want to know what's going on. Mike got to our candy booth to send a candy bar to you" she said smiling.

"And you had his jacket at lunch" Tina said.

"And I saw you making out in the hallway" Santana said smirking. This time, Rachel did trip and fell hearing the rest of the girls clapping and laughing at her.

Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week.

"Rachel!" Tina said helping her up again.

"H-how did you see us?" she asked Santana when they started running again.

"I was going out to smoke and I saw you" she simply said.

"So, you really are together?" Tina asked excited.

"I don't know, I mean is not like we've made it official or anything" Rachel explained a little sad.

"Well, I think you'd make a cute couple" Tina said smiling.

"That's what I said!" Brittany said excited.

"Yeah, well, you're the only ones who think so" she said dodging a ball thrown her way. Everyone turned to look at Claire throwing daggers at her with Quinn and more cheerios by her side.

"Oh, please! Claire Walters? She's the most pathetic girl in the school! She probably hates you because she's like in love with Mike and he dumped her when he found out she was cheating on him" Santana told her.

"Really?" Rachel asked shocked. She had no idea someone had cheated on Mike. She didn't really understand how someone could cheat on Mike. He was the sweetest guy she knew.

All of the sudden, they heard Coach Sylvester's whistle. "Alright hit the showers! I smell failure!" she said getting out of the gym.

Rachel was in the shower singing to herself, minding her own business, when she heard some girls laughing outside.

"Fifth time Berry!" she knew that voice. She knew it was Claire.

Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!

Rachel quickly grabbed her towel and walked out of the shower only to find the locker room empty, and her bag gone.

Just my luck! Happy thoughts. Happy thoughts.

She went to open her locker where at least she had a sports bra and some underwear. But then, she saw something. They didn't spot Mike's Jacket. It was still there and her phone was inside one of the pockets. She grabbed her phone and called Kurt.

"Hello?"

"Kurt! I need you to come to the girls' locker room and to bring clothes" she said on the verge of tears.

"What? What are you talking about?"

"I was showering after gym and Claire took my clothes!"

"Are you serious?"

No, actually grabbed my clothes and tossed them out the window!

"Yes I'm serious Kurt! Hurry up!" she said hanging up. She started shivering horribly.

Grab it. I can't grab it! I'll look ridiculous! You know you want it!

"Ok, gentleman! You can't come in here!" she heard Kurt's voice outside the door. Rachel put on Mike's jacket and hid behind the lockers.

"Fuck it Hummel! Get out of my way!"

Panchito.

"Come on Kurt! We want to help her!"

Jose.

"Yeah, we're not just gonna stand here and do nothing!"

And Donald… The three caballeroooooos! Yay! Happy thoughts!

"I know you want to see Rachel but she's not in condition to receive you" Kurt told them before walking in and locking the door.

"HUMMEL!" the three boys shouted from outside.

We're three happy chappies, with snappy sarapes… you'll find us beneath our sombrerooooos!

"Rachel!" Kurt snapped her out of her thoughts looking for her. Rachel stood up and got from behind the lockers, standing in nothing but Mike's jacket. "Oh my God! if they knew what I was seeing they'd hate me even more for not letting them in" Kurt said smirking. "Specially a certain handsome dancing Asian" he told her.

"Shut up Kurt!" Rachel said blushing furiously. "What are they doing here?"

"Puck and Mike were in Chemistry with me and they heard me say your name so they insisted to come. And we found Matt along the way. Plus, the jeans are mine, but it's Matt's shirt" he said handing her the clothes.

"What? Why?" Rachel asked him confused.

"I got slushied at lunch honey. My pants were fine but I don't have any more spare clothes" he said sadly. "And Sam told me about Tina and Mercedes' clothes being used already" he said worried. "Why didn't you call me?"

"Well, Sam was there for the first one" she said grabbing the clothes from Kurt. "And he told me to call him, so I did and I called Tina and Mercedes to lend me their clothes" she said getting in a stall to get dressed.

"And how did you get Mike's jacket?"

"He gave it to me" she said blushing a little.

"HE DID! WHEN?"

Aaaaand I've gone deaf.

"Seriously! Why don't you tell me these things! Is like our friendship means nothing to you!" Kurt said pretending to be offended.

"Oh don't be so dramatic Kurt!" Rachel said getting out of the stall. "He gave it to me before lunch because I was cold and well, I hadn't seen you so I couldn't tell you" she told him.

"Well, put it on!" he said seeing she was only in his jeans and Matt's shirt.

"What? No! Is not mine!" she said blushing a little.

"Neither are the jeans or the shirt honey! Come on Rach, I'm sure Mike would like that" Kurt said smirking a little bit.

"You really think so?" she said biting her bottom lip and Kurt nodded still smirking. Rachel smiled completely and put it on.

"Oh, and honey, be prepared?" Kurt said when they were standing in front of the door.

"For what-" Rachel started to ask while Kurt opened the door. As soon as it was open, she felt two strong arms wrapping around her and squishing her.

"Oh my God! Are you ok?" she heard Mike asking her.

"Chang! You're squishing her!"

I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine. And he shall be my Squishy!

"Sorry" Mike said blushing a little and pulling away, but never letting go of her hand.

"What happened Rach? Are you ok?" Matt asked worried.

"Yeah, I'm ok" she said blushing a little. "Um, Claire took my clothes" she told them.

"What?" the three boys asked furious.

"Are you serious?"

Yes I'm serious! What is it with boys and not taking me serious?

Rachel simply nodded and Mike hugged her again.

"I'm so sorry doll. Why didn't you tell me?" he said sadly.

"It's nothing. Really, is not like I'm not used to it" she said with a sad smile. Mike, Matt and Puck felt their hearts ache with guilt. Mike and Matt because they knew what she went through. And Puck he didn't know she went through all of this and she kept it from him. Kurt just smiled sympathetically at Rachel.

"Come on, let's go to Glee" he said and they all nodded heading towards the Auditorium. Mike pulled Rachel back just a little.

"I love how you look in my jacket by the way" he said kissing her cheek. Rachel just smiled to herself and walked with the guys, never letting go of Mike's hand.


"Hey guys" Mr. Schue said walking in the Auditorium. "Ok, before we see what the girls prepared for us, please welcome the new member of New Directions, Sam Evans" he said as Sam walked in.

"Wait, he's in Glee?" Mike asked a little upset.

"Yeah, Rachel asked me to join" he said smirking a little.

"Ok guys now, give it up for the lovely ladies of Glee" Mr. Schue said excited as they all started cheering for them. The girls came out wearing different outfits that blended with one another and were equally sexy.

"Holy shit" every single guy, excepting Kurt, muttered at the same time.

[Rachel, Santana, Mercedes, Brittany, Tina, Quinn, Everyone]

[Santana, Rachel and Mercedes stepped to the front first, Santana in the middle with Rachel and Mercedes on each side of her.]

Ooh oh, oh, oh, oh

No, no, no, no oh

Just past eleven o'clock

Rolled up in the club gonna rock the spot (Oh, oh)

[Mercedes then took the center of the stage, with Santana taking Rachel's place and Rachel going to the other side of Mercedes.]

Girl out 'bout to bubble it up

Boys take a look, see what you can't touch

[It was Rachel's turn, getting in front of the two girls and smirking at the guys while Tina, Quinn and Brittany came to stand next to her.]

Seven jeans and a Prada bag

Six inch heels, how you liking that?

Working it out,

He's checking it out

Gonna knock him down, round after round

[The girls smirked at the boys, teasing them with their dresses.]

I can feel the base line jumping

Watch out there's my song

[The six girls formed a line starting the perfect choreography Brittany had set up for them.]

Laides, show 'em what you got

Shake it all around, yeah, yeah

Hey yo, you wanna little of this?

You wanna little, wanna little of this?

Hey yo, you wanna little of this?

You wanna little, wanna little of this?

[They all smiled flirty at the guys, who were too hypnotized to even blink and laughed singing the next part, letting them now what they couldn't have.]

Once you think, you think you got it

Can't, can't, can't, you can't touch it

[Quinn then went to the centre of the stage with Tina and Brittany to her sides.]

Ooh, oh

I'm not what you think I am

You ain't gonna get what you think you can (Oh, oh)

[She switched places and Tina took the centre, Brittany went to stand where Quinn was and Quinn took Brittany's place. While Rachel, Santana and Mercedes laughed in the back.]

Oh no, you ain't the man

You might be fine, but I don't give a damn (Oh, oh)

[And then, it was Brittany's turn to take the middle, with the other girls around her, while Santana, Mercedes and Rachel came back to the front again, by her side, dancing wildly with each other.]

'Cause I'm here with my girls tonight

No strings attached, no guys required

Wanna let my hair down

Get out on the town

DJ turn it up nice and loud

[The boys were practically drooling over the six girls, while Kurt simply smiled proudly at them.]

I can feel the base line jumping (Uh, oh, oh)

Watch out there's my song

Ladies, let me see your hands up in the air

Ladies, show 'em what you got

Shake it all around, yeah, yeah (Shake it all around)

Hey yo, you wanna little of this? (Oh, oh)

You wanna little wanna little of this? (Hey, hey)

Hey yo, you wanna little of this?

You wanna little, wanna little of this?

Once you think, you think you got it

Can't, can't, can't, you can't touch it

[The girls went to sit on the edge of the stage and performed a synchronized dance with their arms and legs that made them look like professionals rockettes.]

You wanna little of this, you wanna little, (Uh)

Wanna little of this? You wanna little of this, you wanna little,

Wanna little of this? (Yeah)

I can feel the base line jumping

Watch out there's my song

[They quickly stood back up and continued their perfect dancing while the guys tried to stop drooling. Tina, Quinn and Mercedes stayed in the front while Rachel, Brittany and Santana moved to the back of the stage.]

Ladies, let me see your hands up in the air

Ladies, show 'em what you got

Shake it all around yeah, yeah,

Hey yo, you want a little of this?

You wanna little, wanna little of this? (Don't you want?)

Hey yo, you wanna little of this?

You wanna little, wanna little of this? (Na, na, na, na)

Once you think, you think you got it,

Can't, can't, can't, you can't touch it

[The three girls in the front, quickly traded places with the three girls in the back. Doing the exact, same, sexy dance again.]

Ladies, let me see your hands up in the air

Ladies, show 'em what you got (You wanna little of this?)

Shake it all around, yeah, yeah

Hey yo, you wanna little of this?

You wanna little, wanna little of this?

Hey yo, you wanna little of this?

You wanna little, wanna little of this?

[Quinn, Tina and Mercedes came back to meet Santana Rachel and Brittany and they ended in a simple line finishing the song.]

Once you think, you think you got it

Can't, can't, can't, you can't touch it

They finished, each one of them in a different pose and staring at the guys. Everyone instantly stood up (except for Artie) and started cheering, and wolf whistling for the girls. Rachel noticed that throughout the whole song, Mike never took his eyes off her.

Maybe you have something in your face. Oh shut up! He likes you.

"Wow girls!" Mr. Schue said smiling proudly. "That was…" he stopped at the loss of words.

"Brilliant!" Kurt said clapping excited.

"Awesome" Sam said smiling at them.

"Unbelievable" Matt said eying Santana.

"Wow" Finn said unable to say anything else.

"Amazing" Mike said smirking at Rachel.

"Fucking hot!" Puck said smirking at the girls (specially at Brittany) and they all giggled at the boys' reaction.

"Word!" Artie said never taking his eyes off Tina.

"Wonderful!" Mr. Shue finished.

"Thanks Mr. Schue" they all said smiling at the same time.

"Thanks guys" Brittany added.

"I hope you've learn your lesson. You see what you can do when you work together?" Mr. Schue told them smiling.

"Yeah Mr. Schue" Mercedes told him.

"That was great girls, I mean, I think we could even use this number for Regionals, you were just fantastic…"

Why is Mr. Shue's voice starting to sound like Charlie Brown's teacher?

"Rachel, are you ok?" Rachel heard Tina's vague voice.

Hey look, black dots… oh oh!

"RACHEL!" Puck, Mike, Sam and Kurt yelled at the same time, getting up and running upstage with Mr. Schuester when the petite brunette fainted between the other girls.

"Rachel!" Brittany yelled scared and kneeled down to her.

"Wait, let her breathe" Santana said pulling Brittany away.

Puck was the first one there and kneeled down next to her with Mike, Kurt and Sam behind him, and Mr. Schue on the other side of her.

"Rachel!" Puck said terrified.

"Rachel, Rachel? Can you hear me?" Mr. Schue asked her when she started moving her head.

"You have to kiss her!" Brittany told Mike who blushed furiously while Santana tried really hard not to laugh. "That's how princesses wake up in movies" Brittany told him smiling.

"She's not answering!" Puck said freaking out ignoring the whole scene between Brittany and Mike.

"Ok, we have to take her to the nurse" Mr. Schue told him and Puck instantly carried her in his arms and they started running towards the nurse's office.

"Nurse Heron!" Mike yelled once they reached her office. "Something's wrong with Rachel!" he said freaking out.

"What do you mean-"

"She fainted all of the sudden" Sam cut her off while Puck entered the office with Rachel in his arms.

"Oh, dear, place her over here Mr. Puckerman" Mrs. Heron said worried. Puck did as he was told while Mr. Schuester and the rest of the club walked in behind them.

"She was fine, she had just performed and then she passed out, she's not responding" Mr. Schue said worried.

"Ok, ok, Mr. Schuester can stay but I need everyone else out-"

"No way!" Mike and Puck said at the same time.

"There's no way I'm leaving her" Puck said worried.

"Me neither, I have to know she's fine" Mike said with pleading eyes.

"Since when do you care about RuPaul?" Quinn asked confused.

"Shut up Fabray!" Santana snapped at her.

"Alright, you two stay. Everybody else, OUT!" Mrs. Heron said kicking everyone else out.

Mike and Puck got to sit inside the room, but Mrs. Heron still pulled the curtain so she could examine Rachel.

"So, you and Rachel?" Puck asked Mike all of the sudden.

"I think so" he said awkwardly. "I mean, I don't know if she wants to be with me, but I really like her Puck" he said honestly. Puck looked at him suspiciously but then he smirked.

"I'm cool with it man, just… don't fuck up alright?" he said being serious again.

"I won't" Mike said smiling looking over at where Rachel was.

A few minutes later, Nurse Heron came from behind the curtain.

"She's ok" she said and the two boys sighted in relief.

"What does she have?" Puck asked fearing the worst.

"Exhaustion" Mrs. Heron told them. "Her body just gave out. Do either of you know if she's been under a lot of stress lately, or working too much maybe?"

Puck and Mike turned to look at each other guilty.

"She works a lot" Puck said worried.

"And she had to put up a number for Glee this week" Mike continued.

"Well, she's going to need a lot of rest and take some medicine" she informed them. "She's awake now, I will go get the medicine, you can see her but don't let the other ones in until I come back ok?" she said and both boys nodded. Once she left, the boys stood up and ran over to her.

"Rach?" Puck said standing on one side of the bed.

"Doll?" Mike said taking her hand, standing on the other side of the bed. Rachel slowly opened her eyes and looked at Mike.

I died and I went to heaven and all angels look like Mike Chang.

"Hey Babs" Puck said smiling at her and she turned to look at him.

"Noah?" she said weakly. "What happened?" she asked frowning.

"You fainted Rachel" Mike said looking at her with worried eyes and drawing circles on her palm with his thumb.

"Do you remember anything?" Puck asked her.

"Um, I remember dancing with the girls and… that's it" she said frowning a little.

"Babe, the nurse said that you're exhausted and your body just gave out" Puck said in a serious tone.

"R-really?" she said blushing a little bit and looking away from them.

"Yes, Rachel. You have to slow down a little" Mike said with the same worried tone.

"I'm fine" Rachel tried to convince them.

"For fucks sake Rachel! You just fainted in front of us!" Puck said a little harshly. He knew he was being harsh but he needed her to see this. "Chang, could you wait outside?" he asked all of the sudden.

"What?" Mike asked him confused.

"Just, give us a minute. Please?" Puck told him. Mike turned to look at Rachel who nodded sadly at him. He kissed her hand and left. But he stayed behind the curtain and heard their conversation.

"I'm fine Noah" Rachel said with a tear rolling down her cheek.

"No you're not Rach! You're not fine! Fuck Rachel you scared the shit out of everyone when you fainted ok? I felt my heart stopping when you just collapsed like that!" Puck said sounding mad but also concerned.

"Well, what do you want me to do Noah?" Rachel asked with her voice breaking. "I can't slow down! I can't quit school! And I need the jobs to take care of my dad! He needs me Noah! I'm all he's got! I can't fail him!" she snapped at him.

And then, Puck saw it. He saw how scared Rachel was. She had never looked so small in his eyes. She had always been this strong, brave girl who could take anyone's shit. But right now, she was a little scared girl that needed someone to hold her together.

"Rach" Puck said softly sitting on the bed next to her. "I know you want to help your dad babe, but you have to take care of yourself first" he said worried. "I got scared Rach, really scared. I'm trying to look out for you, and so is Mike. And Kurt, and Sam and Britt" he said softly.

"I'm scared Noah" Rachel said crying a little more. "I don't know what's happening, I'm just tired all the time and I feel sleepy and- and I know there's nothing I can do because my daddy is counting on me" she said with her voice breaking a little bit. "I don't know what to do" she said breaking down and Puck hugged her to him.

"Shhhh, it's ok" he whispered softly in her ear. "I'm here babe" he said kissing her head. "That's what I'm here for Rach. I'm going to help you ok?"

"How?" she asked him confused.

"I don't know. We'll figure something out" he said kissing her head again. "Rach, we have to tell your dad-"

"NO!" Rachel said widening her eyes. "No! Noah, please don't tell him! He's going to stress too much and he could have a heart attack, he's gonna feel guilty and he's going to want to go back to work or something! Noah you can't tell him! I'll slow down, I swear but please don't tell him!" she said freaking out and crying hysterically.

"Ok, ok, calm down babe" Puck said scared and pulling her into his arms again. "I won't tell him on one condition" he said pulling away a little and she turned to look at him. "I'm telling my mom and I'm taking care of you" he said in a serious tone.

"Noah-"

"Rachel" he said in a warning tone.

"Fine" she said defeated knowing he wouldn't let this go. She hugged him tighter and he placed his head on top of hers. "I'm sorry I scared you" she said softly.

"It's ok Babs. Just don't to it again, ok?" he said with a little chuckle and he felt her nodding against his chest.

"Promise" Rachel said laughing a little too. "I love you."

"Love you too Babs" Puck said kissing her head again.

Mike just stood there feeling his heart break with every word Rachel said. He felt so helpless. So, he was going to do the only thing he knew he could do. He was going to make her happy. He was going to take care of her.

"Ok, I'm gonna let everyone else in ok? They seem a bit impatient" Mrs. Heron said coming in and Mike nodded and went back to where Rachel and Puck were.

"Hey, Nurse Heron says she's going to let everyone else in, if you want to see them" he said smiling.

"Sure" Rachel said smiling at the fact that everyone was worried about her. Three seconds later, the room was filled with the entire Glee Club, minus Finn and Quinn.

"Rachie! You're awake! Did Mikey finally kiss you?" Brittany asked excited walking inside making both Rachel and Mike flush instantly.

"Are you ok?" Sam asked worried walking towards her.

"Yeah, I'm fine" Rachel said with a little smile.

"You kind of scared us girl" Mercedes said worried.

"Sorry" Rachel said blushing a little.

"I'm glad you're feeling better Rachel, but you can't talke this lightly ok? You had your friends worried sick about you" Mr. Schue told her in a serious tone.

Wow. I have friends. Friend…s plural!

"I know Mr. Schuester I'll, try to slow down a little" she said blushing and looking at Puck.


After a while, the nurse said it was ok for her to go home. Mr. Schue, Artie, Mercedes and Tina left shortly after. Sam left telling her he had to meet Lucky but saying he would call her later to see how she was.

"Rach, I talked to my dad and he said you don't have to worry about work today. You should just go home and rest" Kurt told her smiling. Rachel was about to complain when she saw Puck and Mike looking a don't-you-dare look so she smiled kindly instead.

"Thanks Kurt" she said. Kurt hugged her goodbye telling her he was going to pick up Blaine and maybe they'll visit her later.

"I'm just gonna go get my stuff ok?" Puck told her. She nodded while Puck walked away with Matt.

"I'll be right back too ok?" Mike said kissing her forehead and walking away too.

Rachel saw Brittany walking over to her dragging Santana with her.

"Tell her" Brittany told Santana who rolled her eyes. "Hey Rach, um Santana has something to tell you" she told Rachel smiling.

Are you going to eat my soul? Cause I was planning on still using it.

"Yeah?" Rachel asked a little nervous. Santana sighed in desperation.

"I just um" she started. She looked really uncomfortable. "Well, I'm glad you're ok Berry" she said not really looking at her.

"And..." Brittany told her sounding like a mom. Santana sighted again in defeat.

"Thank you for siding with me and choosing my song instead of Quinn's" she said like a little girl that had been told to say that.

"Oh, um that's ok. Your song was actually good and fun to do while Quinn's was just an excuse for her to sing and use us as backups" she told her. "Mercedes' choice was good but it needed way more practice, Tina's song was a bit scary and well Brittany didn't really said a song so…" she said also a little uncomfortable. "So it's ok" she said with a tiny smile while the boys saw the whole exchange trying not to laugh.

"Um, here's your bag" Santana said handing her bag to her but before Rachel grabbed it, she accidentally dropped it causing some papers to fall out. Santana and Brittany both looked at the papers suspiciously.

"Hey, what's this?" Santana asked eyeing the papers.

"Oh, nothing" Rachel said trying to take them away, but Santana got there first.

"Wait, Berry this are song choices" Santana said reading them.

"Yeah, well I thought we could use them-"

"Why didn't you say anything on Thursday?" Brittany asked her confused.

"Well, there was no point. I mean I knew we were gonna do Quinn's choice, or Mercedes' or yours" she said looking at Santana.

"Oh my God! This song! How could I not think of this song!" Santana said picking one paper. "Berry you should've said something!"

Yeah, right!

"Yeah, I um, I don't know" she stuttered. "Look girls, I gotta go" she said spotting Puck, Matt and Mike coming towards them again.

"Well, we have cheerios practice but we'll see you tomorrow?" Brittany said smiling and Rachel nodded. "I'm glad Mikey kissed you and now you're ok!" she said hugging Rachel.

"Thanks Britt" Rachel said smiling back at her.

"Feel better Berry" Santana said smiling at her too. "Um, I hope you're not expecting a hug" she said awkwardly.

"I wasn't" Rachel said trying not to laugh and they went they're separate ways.

"Rach?" Puck said pulling her aside a little when she walked over to the three guys. "I talked to my mom" he said worried.

"Yeah?" Rachel said a little nervous.

"She said that she had been checking in on your dad all day and since he still has a fever that is not the best idea for you to stay there today cause you can either pass something to him or you can catch something and your body is already weak. So, she's going to stay there and you're going to stay with me" he explained to her. Rachel simply nodded knowing it would be a long time before she could win an argument with Puck.

"Ok" she said smiling. "Thanks."

"No problem babe. Dani's staying at Lilly's tonight so we could have a movie night like when we were kids" he said smiling sweetly at her.

"I'd love that Noah" she said hugging him.

"And I told Chang and Rutheford to come because the wusses don't want to leave your side until they're sure you're ok" he said laughing a little and making Rachel laugh a little too.

We're happy amigos, no matter where he goes… the one, two and three goes! We're always together!


"Rachel! Oh my God honey, come here!" Mrs. Puckerman said pushing Puck out of the way and running towards Rachel to hug her. "Noah told me what happened today at school. How are you feeling? Are you dizzy? Or tired?" she said pulling away and checking her eyes.

"Ma!" Puck said annoyed. "Let her breathe!"

"I'm ok Mrs. Puckerman, thanks" Rachel said with a weak smile. "Mr. Hummel gave me the day off so I can rest" she informed her.

"Well, I'm staying with your dad tonight honey so you don't have to worry about him ok? I told him you were working on a Glee project and you didn't want to disturb him" she told them smiling.

"Thank you so much Mrs. Puckerman" Rachel said smiling kindly feeling her eyes watering a little bit.

"You're more than welcome dear. Hello Michael, Matthew" she said smiling at the two boys entering the house.

"Hi Mrs. Puckerman" they both answered at the same time.

"I'm guessing you boys are staying for dinner?" she asked with a polite smile and they both nodded. "Well, the food is in the oven you just have to take it out in about twenty minutes ok?" she said grabbing her jacket and some food to take with her. "I'm just next to you guys so call me if you need anything Rachel" she said kissing Rachel's forehead.

"Sure Mrs. Puckerman" Rachel said with a sad smile.

"Bye mom" Puck said when his mom went to hug him.

"Good bye Mrs. Puckerman" Matt and Mike said at the same time and Mrs. Puckerman left the house. Rachel went to the kitchen to check on dinner and Mike followed her while Puck and Matt went to the living room to start a movie.

"So all of the Puckermans seem very protective over you" Mike said entering the kitchen.

"Yeah, they kind of are" Rachel said blushing a little. When she turned around to face Mike, she saw the window behind him and she could see her dad with Mrs. Puckerman looking at them from her kitchen window.

Looks like we have an audience.

When Mike started to walk around the kitchen Rachel managed to motion for them to go away without Mike noticing.

"How are you feeling?" Mike asked her worried and she turned around to smile sweetly at him as if nothing was going on.

"I'm better now" she said looking down realizing she was still wearing Mike's jacket.

Screw it, I'm never getting out of here.

"You scared me Rach" Mike said worried placing his hands on her hips.

"I know, I'm sorry" she said looking down. He placed his hand on her chin to lift her head up and he placed a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Don't be sorry babe, I was just worried about you" he said in a serious tone. "Promise me you'll slow down a little? At least with Glee and everything?" he asked pouting a little. Rachel nodded with a little smile and looked down again.

"I'm sorry I'm still wearing your jacket" she said as she started to take it off.

"It's ok doll" he said walking over to her and putting it back on her. "You look hot in it" he said winking at her.

Enough with the butterfly parties, minions!

"Really?" she asked blushing even more and looking up at him. Instead of answering, Mike leaned down and pressed his lips against hers.

Since the moment I spotted you, like walking around with little wings on my shoes, my stomach's filled with the butterflies… and it's alright. Bouncing round from cloud to cloud, I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down. If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lie. (Dreamy sight.)

"Really" he whispered resting his forehead against hers when they broke apart. Rachel bit her lip trying to stop her smile from growing even more. "Plus, every girl who's dating a guy on the football team usually wears his jacket so everyone knows she's his girl" he said without really thinking. Rachel saw a shade of blush on his cheeks.

"Um, I uh, h-his-um, I'm uh, y-your girl?" she asked stuttering a little.

Every time I try to talk to you I get tongue-tied. Turns out that everything I say to you comes out wrong, it never comes out right…

"Um, that was me kind of asking you" he said letting out a little chuckle. "If you'd like to be my girl?" he said blushing a little more.

"Really?" she asked in a whisper and Mike looked at her as if she was crazy.

"Yes, really" he said in an obvious tone.

"I would love to" she said with the biggest smile on her face. Mike let out a breath he had no idea he was holding and leaned down to kiss her again.

So I say why, don't you and I get together, take on the world and be together forever? Heads we will, tails we'll try again. So I say why, don't you and I hold each other, fly to the moon and straight on to heaven? Cause without you they're never gonna let me in…

"So, you're my girl" he said grinning at her once they broke apart again.

"Grool" Rachel said shutting her eyes when she heard it and he laughed a little. "Uh, I meant to say cool and then I started to say great" she said blushing a little. [A/N: once again, Mean Girls :)]

"Grool" Mike said smiling before kissing her a peck on the lips. "Sorry you had such a bad day today doll" he said sadly.

"Don't worry. It brightened up" she said smiling before standing on her tiptoes to kiss him again.

It's the best day eeeeveeeeer! Thank you SpongeBob!
