Chapter 4.
Mia went upstairs to wake up Rachel, she was about to pounce on her, when Rachel's phone rang and she sprung up in defensive mode.
Mia laughed and Rachel glared at her. "Hello?" Rachel answered.
"Rachel? Where are you?" Aaron called.
"Oh hey Aaron, I'm back home in L.A. But don't worry I'm coming back on Monday, pack your things, Mia here wants to see you." Rachel said as she stared at her sister.
Mia pounced on her and stole her phone and walked away, Rachel just smiled and before she can fall asleep Puck came in and laid next to her, kissing her neck, and shoulders. Rachel turned around and kissed Puckerman.
"Hey guys, stop making out, get dressed, Mia's taking us out to the beach." Artie said rolling up the room.
Rachel giggled and just nodded. "Alright Artie, we'll be downstairs in a few." she told him.
Artie rolled away and Puck stared at her smirking at her. "So babe, are we really going to get ready." he asked.
Rachel just straddled his stomach. "Well duh." she kissed his cheek, and got off to go shower. She grabbed her white bikini, and a sundress to put over. Puck just smirked and went to go join her in the shower.
Rachel was washing over, when she felt Puck join her. Puck began to kiss her shoulder, Rachel smiled. Puck saw her smile, so he went ahead and started to kiss her to her neck, Rachel turned around and started to make out with him.
"Hurry up!" Matt yelled out. Puck growled, and Rachel just giggled.
They showered quickly, and Rachel quickly put her bikini on and her sundress, Puck just put his cargo shorts on and a plain t shirt on. Rachel and Puck put their sandals on and went downstairs.
"Finally." Mia breathed out. Rachel just smiled at her sister, and grabbed her phone from her. They all headed out to the garage. "Carolina."
Rachel looked up and Mia motioned for her to follow her. "Mande?"
"I got it fixed." Mia said throwing her a set of keys. "Want to go for a drive?"
Rachel looked down and they set of keys and Mia opened the garage and next to Dom's car was hers. Her old car that her and Dom bought to fix up. Her eyes began to water and she ran to hug her sister. "Thank you."
Rachel pulled back and squealed as she got into her 69' black Dodge Charger. Puck and the rest of the guys were staring at her car in awe. She turned it on and she revved it and she giggled. "So who's riding with who." she asked.
Puck was already walking forward and so did Artie. Mike and Matt just looked over at Mia's car a black with silver side Ford GT40 and the guys eyes widen ever more.
"Holy hell, do you guys ride well?" Matt asked.
"That's the thing about us Toretto's, we have to have the best rides out there." Mia answered.
Rachel laughed and helped Artie get in the backseat. She popped her trunk and set his wheelchair there along with their stuff, while Mia did the same, along with the food. Mia close her trunk and turned to Rachel.
"Caro, I'm low on cash." Mia told her, smirking.
Rachel closed her trunk and she stared at her sister. "What's the easiest way for a girl to make cash." she asked.
"Prostitution." Artie and Mike replied.
Matt slapped the back of Mike's head, and Mike whined. Rachel just laughed and shared a knowing look with Mia.
"So Race Wars?" Mia asked.
"Let's go." Rachel said excitedly and ran to the driver's seat. Mia laughed and the guys looked confused.
"Guys just get in." Mia said. Puck got in with Rachel's car and Mat and Mike left to Mia's as soon as Puck buckled up Rachel took off, with Mia following behind her.
"Where are we going Rach?" Artie asked from behind.
"To the place my brother invented. My second home." Rachel answered. Rachel sped up when they arrived to a familiar road she hasn't been in forever. The guys just stayed quiet and took the scene in front of them and Rachel just laughed.
"Why are we here?" Puck asked, as they got closer.
"Well, Mia needs, cash, I need a new car or cars, and you guys get to see me race." Rachel answered.
Rachel entered the race wars and the guard there smirked. "Ah Toretto. It's been years since I've seen you. Where's the two older Toretto?" the big guy, Mark, asked.
Rachel just smiled. "Mia is right behind me and Dom's out becoming number 1 wanted person." She teased. Mark laughed and they heard a honk behind them.
"Alright, get a move on little one, your sister ain't looking to patient." Mark said.
"Mark, you know my sister misses watching me race, besides. I need a new ride." Rachel responded and took off. Mia right behind her.
"You know them Rach?" Puck asked.
"You guys, almost everyone knows the infamous Toretto family. This place, we created it along with the crew. This is our second home." Rachel explained once again. She went to park the car and she looked for her small bag and got it.
Rachel threw the bag to Puck. "Get my shorts, tight tanktop, and the shoes in there." she said, taking off her sundress and she put on her and she put on her socks. Puck gave her denim short and she put them on, she grabbed her combat boots and quickly put them on, she grabbed the shirt and put in on and grabbed a flannel and put it on.
Mia tapped her window and motioned for her to get off. Rachel just smiled and popped her trunk so they can get Artie's wheelchair. Matt and Mike helped get Artie out and Rachel just looked around smiling.
"God I miss this place." Rachel said. Mia walked up to her and nodded.
They turned around and noticed all the guys ready and the started to make their way up close.
Rachel kept being stopped but they finally made it to the entrance.
"Is it just me or do my eyes deceive me. Baby Toretto?" a guy called out.
Rachel turned and smiled. "Carlos!" she yelled she ran and went to go hug him.
"You here to race?" Carlos asked.
Rachel nodded frantically. "Yes, I'm here for money and a new car."
Carlos laughed. "Of course baby Toretto, go get your car ready, I got you on the next race." Carlos said as he hugged Mia and made his way to get me in the race.
Rachel squealed and jumped up and down, she quickly hugged everyone and ran to her car. The group just chuckled.
If Puck was being honest, he was kind of nervous, they had seen drive, but never race. The guys all looked at each other looking a bit nervous. Mia just laughed. "Relax chicos, Carolina is gonna be fine, she's gonna win, her and Dom never lose a race." she told them.
They just nodded and followed Mia to where Carlos was, they saw Rachel pull up to the start line, she turned and pouted when she didn't recognize him. She toll down her window. "Carlos! He better not be a newbie!" she yelled.
Carlos laughed. "Hell no baby Toretto, I know you wouldn't like that." he yelled back, everyone laughed and cheered. A girl walked up and she with a flag, she pointed to the guy racer and he revved his car, then the girl pointed at Rachel's car and she revved and hers sound way more better and louder than the dude's.
"Dude, she just put him to shame." Mike said in awe. Mia just laughed and hugged him. The girl yelled out go and they saw Rachel take off, at first it was the guy in the lead, and they saw Rachel pull ahead,
they all stood there watching the race.
The guy started to go super fast for him to drive and they hear Mia laugh. "Oh that is the biggest mistake he ever made." she said.
"Why?" Artie asked.
"He used the Nos too early. That's what we use to make the car go insanely fast." Mia explained.
They all nodded and looked back, they saw Rachel's car go even faster and she passed the finished line winning.
Puck whooped out and they all cheered. Mia started to yell yes, and she hugged Mike even harder.
"That's my baby!" Puck yelled out. That made the crowd go wild. Puck laughed. Rachel drove back and when she reached where they were to got off and she waved at everyone. She got off and made her way towards Carlos, he handed her cash and the driver walked up to her.
"So the rumors are true, the Toretto little girl is the best out there." the dude said. Rachel just smirked and nodded. The guy just laughed, he handed over his keys. "At least it was worth losing my car over the infamous, hot Toretto." he told her.
Rachel just laughed. "Thanks hon, sweet car. I'm happy it's mine." she said, and walked away. Rachel heard him laugh.
Puck grinned at her. "Damn babe, that was hot." he told her. Rachel just giggled and wrapped her arms around his waist, he rested his arms on her shoulders and looked down at her.
"So who's driving my new car to the beach, I do have to make modifications to make it more Toretto. But that's after I do some more races" Rachel told her boyfriend. He just chuckled and kissed her. She heard cat calls, and a phone pic shutter out.
Puck just chuckled and pulled Rachel closer to him. Rachel just looked up at him and smiled affectionately at him. He smiled back. "You're beautiful." he told her. Rachel blushed.
Before Rachel can say anything else, Carlos called her out, and she just gave Puck another quick kiss and ran to her car, and drove up to the starting line. Rachel just turned to glare at who ever was she was racing, and she let out a small gasp when she saw him. He turned and smirked at her.
"Hey Princess." he smirked. Rachel just revved her car harshly.
Mia noticed. "Oh no." she whispered. Puck noticed, and he turned to her.
"What do you mean oh no?" Puck asked her.
"Before Carolina started her freshman year, she got into a huge fight with a girl, because the guy the both dated was him." Mia explained. "That's Jesse St. James."
"St James? More like St. Jackass." Matt barked. Mia just sighed.
"The departure wasn't pretty, the girl's name was Giselle, she was just enjoying her summer you know, then she started to spread rumors and well, the fight wasn't pretty." Mia explained.
"Why do keep saying it wasn't pretty." Mike asked.
"Carolina, almost sent her to the hospital. Everyone keeps underestimating her, she small, but she can strike a punch harsher than anyone else. So when Giselle thought it was fun to bring up our past about our family, she beat her up. Never heard of her ever since." Mia explained.
Puck just nodded and turned back to where Rachel was, they were waiting for the other race to finish so they can go up.
Rachel gripped her steering wheel tightly, and closed her eyes and took a deep breathe in, she cleared her emotions and turned back to him. "Not here, not ever." she whispered to herself. They drove up the starting and Rachel revved her car harshly like she did before. Jesse just smirked and revved as well.
"Ready." the girl in front of them yelled. Pointing her flag at Rachel. "Set." she pointed to Jesse. "GO!" she yelled.
Rachel stepped on her gas and took off. Jesse, just sat there stunned before he steppe down on the gas and took off after her as well. Rachel looked at her mirror and saw him struggling to catch up, she smirked. Jesse managed to catch up, Rachel figured he pressed the nos, but she was proved wrong when she saw that he went faster, she laughed and pressed her nos, and she was the first to pass the finish line.
She looked at her mirror and managed to see Jesse punching his steering wheel. Rachel laughed harder, and drove to where everyone was. She passed signaled at him to follow her and he nodded. They drove back to where Carlos was standing next to her to other car. They both stopped and got off the same time.
"Well, ain't this a surprise." Jesse drawled out. Mia and the boys made their way over.
"Jesse. See you been practicing." Rachel said in a even voice. Jesse smirked and nodded, Rachel just took her hand out and signaled him to give up the keys and money.
"Aw, but I wanted to know if you wanted to catch up." Jesse teased.
"Is Giselle around?" Rachel hit back, smirking. Jesse tensed up at hearing her name and his face went blank. "I see, well I would love to catch up but I have places to be, so if I can have your keys and money, that'd be great." she told him
Jesse just gave her the money and keys, and when Rachel went to grab it he pulled her in and smirked. "I can't eait to have you back in my arms." he whispered.
Rachel smiled and leaned closer, then she kneed him hard between his knees and punched him. "Never." she sneered and grabbed her things from him and turned to her sister, boyfriend, and friends. "We need to go." she told them.
Puck just grabbed her and pulled her to him. "You alright?" he asked. Rachel nodded.
"Yeah, maybe later I'll tell you about him." Rachel said. Puck nodded and kissed her.
"Alright love birds we need to get going." Mia interrupted them. She took off and said goodbye to Carlos and Puck just pulled her close and walked her to her car, he opened the door and she entered and closed the door for her. Artie had Matt and Mike put him in the passenger seat.
"Here." Rachel said turning to the three guys, giving them the car keys. "Take my car."
Puck just smirked kissed her and got into her new car. Mike and Matt just ran to the one she just won.
"You guys make me sick." Artie told her. She just laughed and shrugged, she turned her car around and waited for Matt and Mike to get into the other car she won from Jesse, and Puck go on the first one and they all left.
They were all currently at the beach, Mia was out swimming with Mike and Matt, while Rachel laid on her stomach soaking up the sun, while Puck sat back and just checked her out smirking as her swim bottom was sort of a v thong type of deal, and he can just check her butt.
"Dude, you got a bit of drool there." Artie said.
Puck wiped his cheeks and Artie laughed. "Screw you man."
"You want to, to your girl right there." Artie responded smugly.
Puck just glared at him, and then he smirked.
"She's hot man, like goddamn," he told Artie as he took out his phone and took a picture of her.
Artie nodded, and leaned back and rested. "I think I like this Rachel, she's more bad ass and hot, hot, hot. Bouncy bouncy bouncy."
Puck just growled. "My girl." he told him.
Artie just chuckled and his phone rang. He frowned and noticed it was Tina, he sighed.
"Hey, Tina?" Artie answered. Puck turned and noticed Artie's composure gone rigid, and he looked angry. "Yeah, well I don't care anymore, it's over." He growled out
Rachel woke up and faced him. "You okay, Artie?" she asked.
"Tina cheated on me with Finn, so yeah we're done." Artie said. Rachel sighed and crawled up to him and snuggled up against him. She rested her head on his chest.
"Her loss, besides, I told you I got friends. Random hook ups and you'll forget she even existed." Rachel told him.
Artie just chuckled and accepted her snuggling up to him, he pulled her closer. Puck just rolled his eyes at his girlfriend, knowing damn well how much she loved to cuddle up with someone, she fell back asleep again, and Artie followed, and Puck just grunted and rested his eyes as well.
After an hour of Puck sleeping, he woke up to nothing, and saw Rachel on Matt's back and Artie on Mike's back as they swam around, with Mia throwing them water. He smiled and he took a picture of them.
After watching them fight, Puck finally got up and went to go join them, he swam over to them and Rachel beamed and fell back into the water and swam to Puck. He smirked and he lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist.
"Hi there sleeping beauty." Rachel whispered.
Puck smirked. "So why didn't you kiss me to wake up."
Rachel just laughed. "Little sister makes you watch the Disney movies?" she asked him.
Puck just smirked and nodded, Rachel just giggles and leaned in to kiss him. Puck smiled in the kiss and when he pulled back he just smiled at her.
"I've always had this wild fantasy to have my wicked ways in the water." Puck said smirking.
"Noah." Rachel scolded, but she was still smiling.
They swam for a while, pretty soon it was just Rachel and Artie swimming around. Artie held on to Rachel's shoulder and she swam around for him, Artie just smiled and kissed her forehead when she helped him float.
"You know Berry, in the beginning, I thought I'd hate you for how you acted, but your a bad ass friend." Artie told her.
Rachel beamed and hugged him hard. "You're my best friend." she whispered out.
Puck swam out to them and he raised his eyebrow at his girlfriend.
"I came over to say that Mia wants to head out and get us to rest since we leaving tomorrow." he told them. Rachel pouted and Puck came and help Artie out. All of them swam back and Puck carried him back and Rachel just walked along side him.
"Carolina, I need to give you your tickets and get you on the plane back home, you're not missing Monday." Mia said sternly.
Rachel just glared at Mike who looked guilty. She sighed and nodded, and went home. They all packed up there things, and left to the airport. They checked in and after waiting for about an hour they called their plane flight and they all said goodbye to Mia.
Rachel sighed and they made their way into the plane. Puck held her as they got inside. "I miss home in LA." she told him.
Puck chuckled. "So what was up with that ex boyfriend?" he asked her.
Rachel sighed. "We connected, in way he was similar to what became Rachel Berry. We had great times, but then one day out of the blue this girl comes and attacks me saying, I was ruining her relationship. And I was confused and I asked who was her boyfriend. Turns out Jesse St. James was her boyfriend for many years. I apologized to her and stopped seeing him, but Jesse kept coming back, so she got mad and spread rumors about me, one day she came up to me and pushed me hard and started to pull my hair and scratch my face, I pushed her back and started to fight her, Letty came and stopped me." she explained. Puck just sat there listening to her. "It's all in the past, I just wanted to forget about him, I guess he still has feelings for Giselle." she said.
"And you." Puck told her. Rachel smiled at him.
"I can take care of myself." Rachel told him. She kissed and snuggled close to him and fell asleep.
The flight back home was quiet most of them time and they finally made it back home to Lima.
Added Jesse St. James. Maybe I can use him later as a bad guy. We'll see.
