Rachel and the gang arrived, and just like she had hoped, no one recognized her. She looked around. People filled every inch of the gym. Purple, orange and black balloons covered the floor. Rachel looked around and saw so many different outfits, so many similar outfits. Everyone was stunning. The music was amazing. The songs were perfect, they blared loudly in her ears, and everyone else's too.
Finn, a pirate with perfectly torn up shirt and amazing red hat with an eye patch over one eye, left his date and walked over to her. "Would you, uh, like to dance?"
Rachel smiled and nodded. They danced for a few moments and she pulled away and walked over to the punch. She got a glass of punch and Sam, a Na'vi, but his paint was clearly just eyeshadow, walked over to her. "Hi, Little Red. You look beautiful."
She smiled at him and went back towards Kurt. "Kurt! How do I talk?"
He frowned, not having thought of what she would do to talk. Logically though, her voice was very unique, so she obviously couldn't talk normally. "Maybe, talk a little higher, or lower than normal, r like slur your words, or something."
She looked scared, but she wondered to the DJ. She heard Finn and Sam talking. "Who is she?" one asked.
"Uh, I don't know. She sure is hot though."
Rachel stood by the DJ and yelled in his ear. "Excuse me?" He looked at her, but turned the other way. "Hey! I want a song!" He squinted at her and nodded. "Thriller- Michael Jackson!"
He nodded and immediately put on her song, 'coz really, who can resist, she looked gorgeous. She went back out to the dance floor and started dancing in this amazing way, that if people knew it was Rachel, they wouldn't believe their eyes. But that was when the real trouble started. Karofsky, dressed as a, guess what, football player, came up to her and grabbed her arm. He pulled at her, getting her to leave the gym with him.
Puck decided that, although this wasn't his place, he needed to help that girl. Sure, he was sure that if he saved her, he'd get a little something something. He ran out into the hall. Quickly walking he turned and looked down the hall, then the other side. Then he heard a scream. He ran towards the sound until he saw Karofsky him holding Red's hair and pushing her to the floor. He stopped in his track. "Dammit Karofsky! Let go of her!"
Rachel sniffled and looked up at the voice. Noah? She pulled her hair away when Karofsky got distracted. "Hey! Come back 'Little Red.'"
Puck punched Karofsky in the nose, "Leave. Her! ALONE!" Karofsky tried to punch back, but Puck grabbed his wrist, "Hell no." Karofsky ran off like a little girl.
He held out a hand for Rachel, "Um, thank you, Puck."
He raised hi eyebrows, "Puck, huh? Who are you?"
"I'm. I'm, no one."
"That's totally not true. Obviously you go to our school, other wise they wouldn't let you in, so who are you?"
He looked handsome. A dashing, pure black, sexy batman. Rachel decided to do something she didn't normally do. She leaned up and pressed her lips to his. Leaning out to say something, he grabbed her waist again and pulled her in. He kissed her back. She kept kissing him. Wow, I don't ever remember him being like that.
He carefully, quietly, and inconspicuously pulled off her mask and looked into her eyes. He almost choked on his own breath as he pulled away. "Damn Berry!"
Her eyes widened, her hands flying up to her face. "You took off my mask!"
"Yeah, and look, it's Rachel Berry! Jeez, don't you think you could tell a person that before-" he stopped himself. Finishing that sentence wouldn't help anyone.
Rachel stared at him, grabbing the mask and placing it back on her nose. "Before what? Before you started falling for me? Before you decided I was hot? Before you realized I made you hot? Noah, I was there while we made out. I felt that. Please Noah, just 'coz you saw my face doesn't mean I'm not still me. Well, Red. "
He looked down, "You're right."
Rachel frowned, "I am? I mean, I am!"
He grabbed her waist and dragged her back to the gym, "Let's dance. Red."
They danced together and drank punch and had a blast, but then Kurt grabbed her arm. "Puckerman? You chose Puckerman?"
She smiled, "He chose me. Now, I'm gonna get back."
She went back and danced with him for an hour. Then he whispered something in her ear, and the two of them went to the parking lot.
