"Morning sleepy" Matt said when Rachel walked downstairs.

"Coffee" Rachel muttered before smashing her head in the table and falling asleep again.

"Or more like grumpy" Matt said laughing a little and he gave her his coffee.

"Thank you" she said sitting up. "Wait, am I at your house?" she said looking around.

"No doll" Mike said laughing bringing her a plate of pancakes.

"Thank you" she said smiling sweetly and he kissed her forehead.

"Hurry up, Puck is picking us up in like five minutes" Mike told her as Matt stole some of her pancakes.

"Hey!" she said poking his hand with her fork. "Mine!"

"Ouch! You're mean woman" Matt said rubbing his hand. Rachel started laughing. "What?"

"I really missed you guys" she said sweetly.

"Does that mean I get your pancakes?" Matt asked her and she just glared at him. "I'm kidding babe" he said laughing. "We missed you too" he said kissing her head.

"Yeah, it gets pretty boring here without you" Mike told her.

"That hurt dude" Matt said pretending to be mad.

"Owww my Thing 1 and Thing 2" Rachel said kissing each of them on the cheek. "Ok, so who are you dating?" Rachel asked Matt who choked a little with the pancake in his mouth. "That's what you get for eating my pancake" she said with an evil look.

"I'm not dating anyone" he said still coughing a little bit.

"You, Matthew Rutheford, the boy who's always flirting with the girls, the one and only ladies' man, are not dating anyone?" Rachel asked him.

"No" Matt simply said. Rachel arched an eyebrow and turned to look at Mike.

"He's crazy about Santana" Mike said not even taking his eyes from his pancakes.

"Dude! That's not true!" Matt argued.

"Santana? Britt's friend?" Rachel asked with a little smirk.

"Yeah" Mike answered casually.

"Dude!" Matt said again.

"Dude, is Rachel" Mike said laughing.

"Yeah, but I don't like Santana" he complained. "And now, Rach won't shut up about it!"

"Whatever you say" Mike said as he kept on eating.

"So, what are we doing- aahh! Jude!" Rachel said excited when a happy beautiful Old English sheepdog, a little older than what she remembered, came running to her.

"Looks like he remembers you" Mike said laughing.

"Oh, I missed you so much" she said playing with him. "You are the cutest thing ever" she said grabbing a pancake and giving it to him.

"Hey! How come he gets a pancake?" Matt asked childishly.

"Because he's the sweetest thing ever" Rachel said kissing him. "Yes you are!" she said as she patted him. "You are the cutest little thing!"

"Well, thank you baby" Puck said walking in the kitchen. "'Sup losers?" he said bumping Matt's and Mike's fists. When he was about to walk over to Rachel, Jude growled at him and started barking like crazy. "Easy dude" he said putting his hands up in surrender. "What the hell? This dog loves me" he complained to Mike.

"Not as much as he loves me" Rachel said smirking as Matt and Mike laughed hysterically at Puck.

"Jude has always protected Rach dude so, I would be careful if I were you" Mike told him smirking. Puck knew, Mike did not only meant Jude. He also meant himself.

That's weird. I mean I know Mike has always taken care of Rachel more than Matt and Finn. Not me, I mean no one could take care of my badass baby better than me. But he's the only one who knows sort of what goes on with Rachel and me. I mean they all knew about us before she left, but when she did, Mike was the only one I could actually talk to about it. He always said we were going to end up together somehow. But now, he's giving me this break-her-heart-and-I'll-break-your-face look. I mean he did before, but now, is like he really means it. How dare he? How can he think I could ever hurt her? She's Rachel. My badass baby. I would never let anything happen to her.

"I'm gonna go finish getting ready" Rachel said standing up and walking upstairs with Jude on her side. When she was ready, they left for school.

"I call shot-gun!" Matt and Rachel yelled at the same time.

"I said it first!" Rachel told him.

"Nuh uh! I did" Matt argued with her.

"Fine, Noah can decide" Rachel said smirking.

"That's not fair! He's gonna choose you" Matt said childishly.

"Is not my fault he likes me better" Rachel told him.

"No! Rock, paper scissors" he told her.

"Fine" Rachel said rolling her eyes. "1, 2, 3!" Rachel had rock out and Matt put out his hand upwards wiggling his fingers. "What the hell is that?"

"Fire! It beats everything" he said proudly.

"Oh, really? Does it beat a water balloon?" Rachel said placing her hand over his 'fire' and mimicked a bursting water balloon, putting the fire out.

"You are a cheater!" Matt said like a little kid.

"You started it!" Rachel told him in the same tone.

"Things really don't ever change do they?" Puck asked Mike laughing.

"Hey guys" Mike told them laughing. When they turned to look at him, they saw he was already sat inside the truck. "We're gonna be late!"

"Dude" Matt said as Rachel glared at him.

"See what you did?" she said slapping Matt in the arm and they both got in the back of the truck.


"Hi guys" Finn said when they pulled over in the parking lot.

"Finny!" Rachel said excited throwing her arms at her and he carried her down the truck.

"Hi love" he said kissing her head.

"RACHEL!" Brittany yelled excited dragging Santana with her.

"HI BRITT" Rachel yelled as the blonde hugged her and they started laughing.

"Are they always like this?" Santana asked Finn.

"Most of the time" Finn said laughing a little.

"Ok, so after school, we're going to the mall" Brittany said excited.

"Do we have to?" Rachel asked her.

"Of course we have to!" Brittany argued.

"What's going on?" Santana asked confused.

"Rach doesn't really like to shop… with Brittany" Matt said laughing.

"Can't I just wear what I'm wearing?" she told them.

"No! You can't!" Brittany told her and Rachel rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry Berry, I'll be there too" Santana said laughing. "Britt, we have to go or the Coach will kill us" she told Brittany.

"Ok, see you guys later" Brittany told them. "Mall, today Rachel!" she yelled and the guys started laughing.

"What are you laughing about?" Rachel asked them. "You're coming too!"

"No, we're not" Puck argued.

"If I'm going down, you're going down with me" she said smiling devilishly when the bell rang.

"Well, we have to go" Mike told her. "Math test" he said annoyed.

"We have a Math test?" Matt and Finn asked at the same time.

"Seriously guys? I told you yesterday!" Mike said annoyed.

"You didn't say it was today" Finn told him.

"Yes I did!" he said walking away with them following him, leaving Rachel and Puck laughing.

"I guess we should go too" Rachel said softly and she was going to walk towards the school, but Puck grabbed her hand and brought her closer to him. "What?" she asked a little confused.

"Hi" he said putting her hair behind her ear.

"Hi" she said laughing a little.

"Well, I just didn't get to say hello cause Jude didn't let me" he told her kissing her head. She laughed at him and they started to walk towards the school.

"Don't blame him for liking me better" she said laughing a little making him laugh too. "You're coming to the mall right?" Rachel asked Puck.

"No baby" he said with a little chuckle. "You're on your own" he said laughing.

"Please" she pouted. He laughed a little bit more and kissed her forehead.

"Alright" he said smiling at her. "But you still remember it's just you and me tonight right?" he asked her and he saw her smile get wider.

"Yeah" she said sweetly as he grabbed her hand in his.

"Mr. Puckerman, Miss Berry, so nice of you to join us" Mr. Martin said as they walked in. As they walked over to the back of the class, Rachel heard some girls whispering things like 'Are they holding hands?' and 'Look at the way Puckerman looks at her' but she decided to ignore the whole thing and just focus on Puck.

"You ok?" Puck asked as they reached the last desk.

"Yeah" she said smiling weakly. "So, what are we doing tonight?" she asked curious.

"That's a surprise" he said smirking a little.

"You're no fun" she said pouting.

"No, baby. That's not gonna work this time" he said laughing a little bit.


"Hey doll" Mike said when Rachel walked in the Choir Room with Finn. Sam, Mercedes and Artie were already there.

"Hi" she said hugging him. "You guys are coming to the mall right?" she begged them. They both laughed a little bit.

"Sure Rach, we wouldn't leave you alone" Finn said laughing.

"Thank you" she said smiling and she saw Santana and Matt walking in the Choir Room with Brittany and Puck behind them. Santana was smiling a lot at Matt and Rachel noticed.

"Ok, Mr. Schuester is going to be late because apparently, someone put worms in Miss Pillsbury's spaghetti and she's having like a panic attack" Quinn said walking in with Tina. Automatically, Brittany, Finn, Puck, Mike and even Artie turned to look at Rachel and Matt.

"What?" they both said innocently. They all just arched they're eyebrows at them. "You have no proof" they said at the same time.

"Ok, I am going to ignore that" Quinn said reading the papers she had. "And we are going to go over the list of songs you guys think I should sing at Sectionals" she said smiling brightly.

"And why exactly are you singing at Sectionals?" Rachel asked a little mad.

"Cause that's how it works" Quinn told her in an obvious tone. "Finn and me sing the first song and then you guys come out and help us with the second one!"

"I think we should vote" Rachel told her.

"Vote on what?" Quinn asked her annoyed.

"On who should sing" Rachel told her in an obvious tone.

"Why?" Quinn asked her confused.

"Um, maybe cause we're not backups. We're a club!" Rachel told her.

"You wanna sing?" Quinn said laughing bitterly. "Be my guest" she told her smirking. "But nobody is going to be interested in us if what they're looking at is you" she told her.

"Oh, really?" Rachel asked pretending to be sad. She went over to the band and whispered something to them. She came back to the chairs, whispered something to Finn and he went to the drums, she whispered something to Puck and Sam and they went to get his guitar and she went to grab Brittany and Santana and returned to the center of the room. "Hit it!"

[Rachel, Rachel, Santana & Brittany, Boys]

We've been here too long tryin' to get along

Pretending that you're, oh, so shy

I'm a natural man doin' all I can

My temperature is runnin' high

[Rachel was dancing with Brittany and Santana and the boys were, well, really excited]

Cry at night no one in sight

And we got so much to share

Talkin's fine if you got the time

But I ain't got the time to spare, Yeah

Do you wanna touch? Yeah!

Do you wanna touch? Yeah!

Do you wanna touch me there? Where?

Do you wanna touch? Yeah!

Do you wanna touch? Yeah!

Do you wanna touch me there? Where? There, yeah, oh

Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!

Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!

[Rachel walked over to Finn and danced a little with him. Then, she went over to Puck, who could not take his eyes of her and she danced a little longer. And then, she walked over to Sam and started dancing with him without really thinking it through]

Every girl and boy needs a little joy

All you do is sit and stare

Beggin' on my knees, baby won't you please

Run your fingers through' my hair

My my my whiskey and rye

Don't it make you feel so fine?

Right or wrong, don't it turn you on?

Can't you see we're wastin' time? Yeah

[She saw Brittany dancing with Artie and saw Santana grabbing Matt's hand and so, she went to grab Mike. Mercedes, Tina and Quinn were looking at them not that pleased with anything going on]

Do you wanna touch? Yeah!

Do you wanna touch? Yeah!

Do you wanna touch me there? Where?

Do you wanna touch? Yeah!

Do you wanna touch? Yeah!

Do you wanna touch me there? Where? There, yeah, oh

Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!

Do ya, Do ya?

Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!

Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!

When the song ended they all started cheering happily and laughing until they heard someone clearing his throat. They turned around to look at Quinn.

"What about those of us who don't like looking like a total slut while we're dancing?" Quinn asked Rachel. At that moment, Mr. Schue walked in.

"Oh, I don't know, it seems to me even your boyfriend was happy with this performance! You just don't like it cause you wanna have every fucking song for you!" Rachel told her harshly.

"Rachel!" Mr. Schue said mad. "What is going on here?"

"Rachel said we should all vote on who should sing for Sectionals" Brittany said excited.

"Um, I kind of already have the songs here" Mr. Schue told them handing a sheet of paper to Quinn and another one to Finn.

"But how is that fair?" Artie complained.

"Yeah, shouldn't we decide?" Santana complained too.

"Yeah, we're a club right?" Matt told him.

"Actually, Mr. Schue they do have a point" Finn told him getting up. "I mean I love being the lead but Rachel just rocked this song" he said smiling and Rachel smiled sweetly at him.

"And she has the whole attitude to be a star" Puck said winking at her and making her blush.

"Yeah, Mr. Schue Rachel has an amazing voice" Sam told him. Quinn was furious and Rachel just smirked at the whole picture.

"What song?" Mr. Schue asked.

"Do you wanna touch me?" Santana said.

"What?" Mr. Schue said taken aback.

"That's the name of the song" Rachel said rolling her eyes. "Joan Jett and the Blackhearts?"

"Why are their hearts black?" Brittany asked confused.

"They're not Britt" Mike told her sweetly.

"Well, I don't think that's an appropriate song for Sectionals" Mr. Schue told them. "But Quinn could sing Joan Jett" he said smiling.

"But it's my song!" Rachel complained. "Blondie wouldn't know rock and roll if it hit her in the face!"

"Shut up man-hands" Quinn snapped at her.

"See? I just gave her a compliment! The name of a great band and she doesn't even know it" Rachel told Mr. Schue.

"Look, we're not gonna have a number where it looks like you want to" she made a disgusted face. "screw everyone in the audience!"

"Oh, alert the media! Barbie just talked about sex" Rachel said smirking. What she didn't notice was pretty much everyone in the room making awkward faces. Specially Puck.

"Enough!" Mr. Schue said annoyed.

"Look, if it's because you don't like me, fine" Rachel told him. "Santana has such a beautiful vintage voice. Did you know that? And so does Noah if you want a male voice. And Brittany, Matt and Mike are the best dancers in the whole world! Sam has a great voice too and no one can rap like Artie. And well, I haven't heard Mercedes and Tina sing, but if they're in the club, they probably have a great voice too" she told him.

"When did you hear me sing?" Sam asked a little confused.

"You were singing while you were walking down the hall today" Rachel said laughing a little.

"Rachel, Quinn is the lead and her voice fits this songs" Mr. Schue told her.

"We can change songs" Rachel continued.

"You don't make the decisions here" Mr. Schue said getting really upset.

"And you do just because you are the teacher? Shouldn't you ask us what we would like to do?" Rachel said really upset too. Everyone just remained silent watching them fight.

"How could I ask you what you want to do if you don't take anything serious?" Mr. Schue asked her. Finn, Puck, Mike and Matt started to get a little upset of how Mr. Schue was talking to Rachel. "You may have a good voice but you don't have the discipline to manage it" he told her. They all saw Rachel's face getting really upset.

"Mr. Schue-" Mike started.

"You come in here like it's just about fun but this actually means something to everyone else in here!"

"Mr. Schue-" Matt and Finn said at the same time.

"If you took the time that you do to make stupid pranks and mess around, you might actually do something with your life!"

"Schue! You can't talk to her like that!" Puck snapped stepping in front of Rachel. "She's just trying to make this what it really is. A club! We're tired of watching Finn and Quinn getting every fucking solo all the time!"

"Yeah, Berry has a point" Santana snapped a little too. "We should get a chance to sing" she complained.

"Ok" Mr. Schue sighted in defeat. "Tomorrow, each one of you bring a song and then you can all vote on the songs and the singers for Sectionals" he said annoyed.

"What?" Quinn snapped.

"You're dismissed" Mr. Schue walked out of the Choir Room glaring at Rachel the whole time.

"This isn't over" Quinn said throwing daggers at Rachel. "You're dead!" she said turning around and leaving. Mercedes and Tina stood up and walked out without saying a single word.

"You ok baby?" Puck asked Rachel hugging her.

"I can't believe Mr. Schue talked to you like that" Brittany said upset.

"Yeah, I'm alright" she said hugging Puck closer. "You guys have to kill it with your songs!"

"Wait, what do you mean?" Sam asked confused.

"Come on! Do you really think Mr. Schue is going to let me sing?" she asked laughing and they heard the bell rang. "I gotta go guys, but I'll see you later for the mall?" she told Santana and Brittany and left the Choir Room.

"Ok, we're doing something so Rachel sings at Sectionals" Puck said in a serious tone.

"Yeah, she's what we need to win" Mike said.

"But Mr. Schue won't let her sing" Artie told them.

"Then maybe we don't tell him" Matt said smirking. They all turned to look at him and started planning the whole thing.


Rachel was sitting on a bench reading a book and all of the sudden; the book was taken away from her and shut in her face. She looked up with a confused look on her face. "Can I help you?"

"Stay away from Mike" Tina said in a threatening tone.

"Is that a voodoo doll of me?" Rachel asked looking at a doll that looked a lot like her.

"Just stay away from him ok?" Tina said annoyed.

"Is that why you and Mercedes glared at me the whole practice?"

"Maybe" Tina told her.

"Ok, listen" Rachel said laughing a little. "I'm not staying away from Mike because he's my best friend. And I'm living with him. Now, I can assure you that I have no romantic feelings whatsoever for Mike" she told her calmed.

"You don't?" Tina asked confused.

"No" Rachel told her. "He's like my brother. And yes, I love him and everything but not like that" she finished.

"But you looked really close to him and Quinn said-"

"You listen to Quinn? Really?" Rachel said with a sarcastic laugh. "Look, I'm used to girls not liking me because of my best friends. Quinn is like the president of the I-hate-Rachel-Berry Club. So, I don't care if you believe me or not, but wouldn't trust her if I were you" she finished.

"Really?" Tina asked her and Rachel nodded. "Oh well, I guess I'm sorry about the misunderstanding" she said giving her the voodoo doll. "Well, I guess I'll see you around-"

"Not so fast" Rachel said standing up. "If you're so into Mike, why the hell were you drooling over Artie in Glee?" she asked a little upset.

"What? I um- what are you talking about?" Tina stuttered nervously.

"Yeah, I saw you when Artie was dancing with Britt" Rachel told her. "Listen, I have no idea what's going on between you and Artie. But, if you hurt Mike" she said getting closer to Tina. "I'm gonna hurt you" she said with clenched teeth. "Ok?" she said in a sweet tone and then she walked away motioning 'I'm watching you' to Tina.


"Ok, ready to go?" Rachel told everyone in the parking lot.

"Yeah!" Brittany said excited dragging her to Santana's car.

"Wait!" Rachel said grabbing Puck's hand. "Aren't you guys coming too?" she asked them.

"Sorry doll, we have practice" Mike told her.

"What?" she asked shocked. "But you said-"

"Yeah Coach just told us" Finn told her. "Sorry Rach."

"But-"

"We'll see you guys later ok?" Matt said kissing her head.

"Sorry baby" Puck said with sad eyes.

"Wusses" Rachel muttered following Santana and Brittany. When they arrived at the mall they hit the stores instantly. Thirteen stores later, Rachel collapsed on a bench with Santana.

"Seriously Britt, we're out" she said dropping the bags.

"I will give you everything that I own if we can just go home now" Rachel whined.

"Excuse me for wanting my friends to look hot for the party" Brittany told them. "Fine, let's just go grab ice cream or something and then we can go" she told them and they went to the food court.

"So, what's going on between you and Matt?" Rachel asked straight to the point. Santana almost chocked on her ice cream.

"What?" she said still coughing a little bit.

"Oh, come on! I saw the way you looked at him during Glee and you went to dance with him" she told her.

"Nothing! Rutheford and I are nothing" she said getting a little upset.

"Ok" Rachel said not wanting to push it, but knowing she was right. "Hey, do you girls think Tina and Mike are for real?" she asked curious. She saw Brittany's face brighten up a little.

"Why?" Santana asked a little confused. Rachel told them about her encounter with her earlier today.

"Really? Well, she did date Artie for a while. Do you think she's only dating Mike to make him jealous?" Santana asked her. Brittany was silent.

"I don't know, but if she hurts Mike, I'm gonna kill her" she simply said eating her ice cream.

"So, how are you and Puck?" Brittany asked her changing the 'Mike' subject. Yes, Rachel noticed.

"Well, I don't really know" Rachel said sadly. "We're going out tonight" she said a little excited.

"What? Why didn't you tell us! We have to get you the outf-"

"No! Britt, I'm sure I can find what to wear in one of the twenty-six bags we have!" Rachel told her.

"Oh, yeah, that's right" Brittany said smiling.

"What's the deal with you two?" Santana asked curious.

"I don't really know anymore" Rachel said sadly. "I'll be right back" she said going to buy a bottle of water.

"What happened there?" Santana asked Brittany.

"They dated before she left. Puck was nuts about her. I have never seen him care about someone so much. I think she's the only girl he has ever loved even if he denies he's ever loved someone" Brittany told her and Santana was shocked. "But then, she left and they kind of lost touch and, when Rachel left…" she started in a serious tone. "I had never seen Puck so sad. He was so broken and that's when he started sleeping around. He pulled this tough image cause he said he never wanted to get hurt again. I don't know the whole Puck version. But Rachel really loved him. I don't really know what's gonna happen now that she's back" she told her. "I really hope they get back together, cause Puck was so happy when he was with her. And they were just so cute" she said smiling.

"Does she know about Quinn?" Santana asked her curious.

"I don't think so" Brittany said a little worried. "But I'm guessing Puck's telling her tonight."

"So, what are we doing?" Rachel said sitting back with them.

"Oh, we're leaving" Brittany said smiling.

"Finally" Rachel muttered exhausted and they went to Santana's car. "Um, why are we over at Finn's?" Rachel asked Brittany and Santana when they pulled over his house.

"RACHEL!" Kurt and Blaine yelled excited. "We're helping you get ready for your date" Kurt said excited.

"What?" Rachel asked shocked. "How did you- Britt!" she said looking at the blonde who had an innocent look on her face.

"Kurt always helps us" she simply told her.

"Why do I think I'm gonna regret this?" Rachel asked a little sarcastic.


Rachel walked inside the Chang residence all ready for her date with Puck. He had told her he'd pick her up there at eight. It was 7:45. She saw Finn, Matt and Mike in the living room playing video games.

"Um, what are you guys doing here?" she asked them curious.

"I live here" Mike said in an obvious tone not taking his eyes from the TV.

"Yeah, I basically live here too" Matt said not looking at her either.

"I got kicked out of the house cause Kurt said he was getting you ready for your da…" Finn stopped. Mike paused the game and hit Finn in the back of the head.

"Oh my God" Rachel said laughing a little bit. "Are you guys here because I'm going out with Noah?"

"What?" the three of them asked pretending to be surprised.

"You guys are the worst liars ever" she told them. "I'm gonna go finish my makeup and when Noah comes I don't want you guys go all Four Brothers on him ok?" she told them walking upstairs. While she was finishing her makeup in front of the mirror, she heard someone knocking on the door.

"Hey doll" Mike said sweetly.

"Hi Mikey" she said smiling and he went to sit next to her.

"So, you're going out with Puck" he told her trying to be casual.

"Mikey" she said a little annoyed.

"Rach, I'm just looking out for you" he told her in a serious tone. "I will kill Puckerman if he does anything to you" he told her protectively.

"I know you will" Rachel said with a weak smile. "I don't really know what's gonna happen, I mean I'm a little nervous. What if he doesn't feel the same way anymore?" she asked a little worried.

"Look doll, after you left, Puck was a mess" Mike told her truthfully. "I have never seen him care about someone the way he does about you" he continued. "You guys just have to talk this whole thing out and figure out where you are now" he told her.

"Oh, that's all?" she asked sarcastically. "I know, I just hope things haven't changed that much" she said a little nervous. "Thank you Mikey" she said hugging him.

"You're welcome doll" he said kissing her head. "Ready?"

"Yeah, I'll go wait in the living room" she said excited. They were walking downstairs and Rachel stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Rachel!" Finn and Matt stood up really fast to help her.

"Ugh, forget it! I told Brittany I could not wear this heels! I'm wearing my shoes" she said walking in the kitchen to put on her converse with her dress. She didn't care. Puck liked her that way. At that moment the doorbell rang.

Noah Puckerman had the whole night planned out. He rang the door when he went to pick up Rachel cause he wanted her to feel like this was an actual date. Their first date. He saw Mike standing inside the house with Jude by his side and he saw Finn and Matt standing behind them.

"What's up losers?" he asked getting a little nervous. What do you want from me, I would deny this but between the three of them, they could actually kill me!

"Come on in, Puckerman" Finn said in a serious tone.

"Is Rach ready?" he asked them.

"Have a seat first" Matt told him.

"Are you guys kidding me?" he asked laughing a little.

"Does it look like we're kidding?" Mike asked in a serious tone too as Jude growled a little at him and Puck decided it was best to sit down.

"So, what are your intentions with our little Rachel?" Finn asked him.

"Um, I'm taking her out for dinner and then, I have a surprise for her" he said still a little nervous.

"What about after tonight?" Matt asked him.

"You guys gotta be shittin me!"

"We're serious dude! We're not letting anyone, including you, do anything to Rachel" Mike told him as Jude continued to growl at him.

"Dude, I'm not gonna hurt her" Puck said sincerely. "I don't know what's gonna happen after tonight cause it's up to her" he told them.

"Ok, I'm ready" Rachel said walking in the living room. "Oh, hi Noah" she said smiling. "Guys! I told you not to do that!" she said noticing that Puck was a little nervous and the other three were glaring at him. Well, four if you included Jude. Puck stood up and walked over to her.

"You look beautiful baby" he said smiling. "Ready to go?"

"Yeah" she said smiling sweetly. "Bye guys!"

"Bye Rach" the three of them yelled at the same time. "I want her home by eleven Puckerman! It's a school night!" Mike yelled as they walked out the door.


Puck opened the door of his truck for her and helped her in.

"Thank you" she said smiling sweetly. "So, where are we going?" she asked once he was inside the truck too.

"It's a surprise" he said smiling and holding her hand. She felt like her heart was melting. He pulled over at their destiny and she immediately recognized it. "Oh my God" she said excited. They were at the park. This was the park where they met. This was the park where they had their first kiss. This was their park. Puck got out of the car to help her out. Once she was out, he grabbed a picnic basket from the back of the truck. He grabbed her hand with his other hand and led her to their little picnic table in front of the swings where they had met. Puck placed the basked on the table.

"Hold on" he said as he went over to connect two plugs and lighting Christmas lights all over the place.

"Noah" Rachel said with her eyes watering. "You didn't have to do all of this" she told him.

"You deserve it baby" he said as they sat down to eat and started talking about everything. "You have to sing Pink baby, she's your favorite artist and you always rocked it" Puck told her smiling.

"Yeah, I um" she said getting a little nervous. "I don't really sing Pink anymore, or listen to her" she said sadly.

"What?" he asked shocked. Pink was like her role model. "Why not?"

"I don't know" she simply said playing with her food. He grabbed her hand and rubbed her knuckles with his thumb.

"What happened baby girl?" he asked concerned.

"Um" she said stopping for a while deciding what to tell him. "My um, stepbrother and I we always used to listen to her" she said with a sad smile.

"You had a stepbrother?" he asked a little curious. She nodded lightly.

"I had two" she told him. "Adam and Dylan" her voice broke a little bit when she mentioned Dylan's name. "Twins" she said with a little smile.

"Older than you?"

"Yeah, they just graduated before I came here" she told him.

"You miss them?" he asked her a little worried.

"I miss Dylan" she said sadly. He didn't want to push the subject, knowing it upset her and that she would tell him when she wanted to. After they ate, remembering all the stupid stuff they used to do as kids, they went to the swings but he sat on the ground in front of her.

"I love this swings" she said laughing a little.

"Me too" he told her smiling. "This is where I met the most beautiful girl in the world" he said making her blush. "I missed you a lot baby" he said grabbing her hand and kissing it. She blushed a little deeper and he laughed, pulling her by her hand and sitting her on his lap.

"I missed you a lot too" she told him burying her face in his neck. She rested there inhaling his scent. She loved it. And his arms around her made her feel so safe.

"I wanna be with you Rach" he said softly. She turned to look at him with a little smile and he placed his hand gently on her chin. "I was miserable when you left. I had never been happier than when I was with you, I know you just came back and maybe it's a little too fast for you but I… I just can't spend one more minute without you" he said looking intensely in her eyes. "I can't live without you baby" he said softly. "B-but if it's too much or-" he was cut of by her kissing him firmly on the lips.

"Has someone ever told you that you talk too much?" she said smirking a little. "I wanna be with you Noah" she whispered to him. "Can we just start everything over? As if it was the first time?" she asked him. He could see the hope in her eyes. He wanted nothing more than to be with her.

"Nothing would make me happier baby girl" he said kissing her again deeply.

Ok, so I know there were some things I haven't told her. But there were also some things, she hasn't told me. So maybe it's just not the right time. Right now, all that matters is that my badass baby is back. And she wants to be with me. I want to be with her. I NEED to be with her. Everything will fall into place. I know that.

After a while, Puck took Rachel home. When they got there, he helped her out of the truck and walked her to the door.

"I had a lot of fun tonight" Rachel told him sweetly.

"Me too baby" he said leaning down to kiss her again. They started deepening the kiss, until someone turned on the light on the front porch. Rachel knew that Mike knew they were home and this was his sign for her to go inside.

"I have to go" she said between kisses.

"No, I don't want you to go" Puck said smiling against her lips until Jude started barking like crazy. Puck whined and pulled away from Rachel. "She's coming!" he yelled to Jude and to Mike too. "I'll see you tomorrow baby" he said kissing her forehead.

"Can't wait" Rachel said smiling and went inside.
