I do not own Glee, the LFL/LA Temptation, Disney, or basically anything in this chapter. Don't sue me!
I've never been to Disney, so their experience may differ :D and as always, thanks for the reviews & alerts!
Wednesday morning Finn is finishing packing up his things when someone knocks on the door repeatedly. He walks over, looking down at his plane ticket when he opens it.
"Hey Finn." His head snaps up and sees Quinn standing there, Coach purse in hand along with her cell phone.
"What are you doing here? It's almost 6 in the morning…"
"Me and Sam are over. I miss you. Please, just come to Hawaii with me. We were going to leave today at this time, remember?" She looks up at him then down to his hands. "What's that?"
He tucks the ticket into his back pocket. "I'm going out of town with Puck and Mike for a few days." Finn crosses his arms over his chest.
"Well where are you going? I can get a ticket and go with you." She smiles and looks at him, hope filling her eyes.
"Quinn…we're done. The next time you land an audition, you'll probably do the same thing you did with Sam. I think he actually liked you." He shrugs.
The door down the hall opens and Quinn looks over at Mike. He instantly freezes and stares at them both. "Um, hey guys. Finn we gotta go like," He looks down at his watch and frowns. "Ten minutes ago." Mike looks between the two and goes to knock on Puck's door. "Dude, we gotta go!"
Puck comes out with a duffle bag on his shoulder and locks the door, only to see Quinn standing there. "Hudson, grab your stuff. We gotta go." He glares at the blonde and turns to go down to the elevator with Mike following behind.
"Sorry Quinn. Have fun in Hawaii." Finn goes to grab his bag and checks over everything inside then closes the door. He walks over to where Puck and Mike are, slapping their shoulders and grinning. "Let's go!"
Puck looks at Finn after the elevator door closes. "What did she want?"
"She wanted to go to Hawaii and said she missed me. I should probably get my locks changed…"
Mike laughs. "Talk to the super when we get back."
"Make sure I do. I'm really hoping I don't have to go home and clean everything up again." The second that those words leave his mouth, Finn turns pale. "I need a drink. ASAP."
Mike looks over at his friend and starts to worry he might be drunk by the time they arrive in Orlando.
Puck isn't the most famous actor in the world by a long shot, but his career is on the fast track and he's pretty well known now that he's done some big movies. Example number one, people outside LAX taking his picture along with Finn and Mike. Even though he has sunglasses on, they still seem to recognize him. He loves his job, but can't they give him a little privacy? Damn. Anyways, he has money but he generally doesn't flaunt it around. He doesn't own some giant house overlooking the water with a pool and ten rooms. But for this trip, he decided to splurge a bit. First class tickets. A suite in the same hotel as the girls so that they wouldn't have to worry about trying to find a meeting place. The girls insisted on getting their own suite in Miami, courtesy of Rachel's parents. Finn insisted on paying for the rental car, but then Santana pointed out that only five could fit in one car, so Puck got another one.
"These seats are amazing." Mike leans against the window and leans back into the seat groaning.
Puck laughs from his seat next to him while Finn laughs across the aisle. "Dude, he's right. This is so nice."
Finn was a little tipsy from getting a drink in the terminal since Quinn showed up at his front door. Mike shrugs as Finn starts to talk about how he thinks Quinn is such a bitch for showing up.
"You're just now noticing she's a bitch?" Puck looks at Finn in shock.
"Well, no. But what if I was sleeping?"
"Doesn't matter." He looks to Mike. "Our flight is five hours long. We can both drink a little to tune Finn out but I need you to drive Hudson's rental. I have a feeling he's going to be drinking all day."
"Not uh, I want to wait and drink at Disney." Finn pouts.
"Finn, it's way too fucking early for this. I'm usually still asleep right now. And stop acting like a child, you're 26." Puck looks at his phone, seeing that it's nearing 7 a.m. now. Luckily they all only had duffel bags so they will just have to get the rental cars and go pick up the girls at the hotel.
Santana and Rachel planned it to where the guys would land around three then they'll go to the hotel and check in, pick them up and go straight to Disney. Puck said they were all fine with it, figuring they would all asleep on the plane anyways.
"Brittany just texted me saying they're about to take off."
"What flight are they on?" Finn leans over the aisle after the flight attendant moves, checking her out before he looks over to his friends.
"They have a private plane since there's only 25 people on the team."
"Damn, lucky." Puck leans back into his chair.
"Have you talked to Rachel?" Mike moves so he's looking at the two.
"Nope. I don't think she realizes my number is in her phone."
"You could've called her or asked Santana for her number. Don't fuck this up for us. They're cool."
"Shut up Finnessa, I know."
Once Finn and Mike see that he won't be talking anymore, they all close their eyes and get ready for takeoff and a nap.
Rachel pops a grape into her mouth and looks over at Brittany. "I'm so excited about Disney World."
"Me too. Do you think we could find Donald Duck and take a picture with him?"
"Of course! As long as we find Mickey too." Rachel smiles and eats another grape.
"Are you two serious?" Santana looks at them both with her eyebrow raised.
"You'll have fun San, we promise. Plus we can watch Rachel sing when she goes to the American Idol thing. Maybe she'll win a Dream Ticket and actually be able to go on the show! How exciting will that be?"
"I just want to sing Britt, that's all."
"Well we'll see when you go home with a ticket!"
"Will you two just take a nap? I know I'm going to need one to keep up with you two and Finn later." Santana puts in hear headphones and closes her eyes.
"A nap sounds really good actually." Brittany smiles and follows Santana's lead.
Puck pulls up to the hotel and parks, leaving a sleeping Finn inside with the AC turned on. He's checking in at the front desk when two small arms wrap around his waist. "Hi Puck." He puts his wallet back in his jeans and turns around to see Rachel with Santana and Brittany standing a few feet away.
"Hey babe. How was your flight?"
"Boring. I slept most of it." She blushes. "What about yours?"
"I did the same." They get to where the other two are standing and he hugs them both. "You guys ready? Finn is asleep in my car and Mike is driving the other."
"I'll ride with Mike." Brittany smiles at them and runs over to his car, hugging him in the process. Santana and Rachel wave to him.
"Guess we're stuck with you." Santana smirks and gets into the backseat.
"Finn, wake your ass up." Puck hits his arm.
"Where are we?"
"You're in the car, we're heading towards Disney World in a minute." Rachel smiles at his confused face.
"But what happened to my beer?" He looks around then between Santana and Rachel in the seat.
"Why were you drinking so damn early?" He looks at Santana and opens his mouth but closes it. He looks over to Puck.
"Should I tell them?"
Puck shrugs while pulling out of the hotel, checking to see if Mike is still behind him. "Up to you."
"Quinn came by this morning."
"What the fuck did she want?" Santana sinks into the chair and scowls at him. Rachel catches Puck's eye in the rear view mirror. He smirks at her and winks.
"Wanted me back and to go to Hawaii with her."
"It's obvious he didn't choose her Santana. So everyone cheer up! We're going to be there soon. We have to get ear hats."
"Yes!" Finn looks back to Rachel while Puck and Santana groan. "Fine, then me and Rachel will just get one."
"Brittany will wear one too." She glares at her friend and looks out the window.
"Well the three of you can wear them and the rest of us will look like normal adults."
Rachel rolls her eyes. "Puck you'll wear one right?"
Puck looks at her beautiful brown eyes in the rear view mirror. "We'll see." He focuses back on the road and looks to see if Mike is behind him, but he only sees one person. He squints harder and has to jerk back into his lane. "Holy shit."
"PUCK!" They all scream at him.
"What was that about Puckerman?" Santana glares at him.
"Is everything okay?" Rachel has her hand over her heart and looking around.
"Um, we all saw Britt get into Mike's car right? Like we didn't lose her?"
"What? Why?" Finn looks over at Puck then back at the girls.
"I don't see her in the car…" Puck trails off and looks back again. Everyone else looks back and look hard for Brittany.
"I don't understand, she was in the car right?" Rachel looks over to Santana, but the girl just starts to laugh really hard. "What? Do you know something that we don't?"
"I think now maybe I do." She tries to control herself for a minute. "Puck, think about this really hard." Santana looks to him. He glances over his shoulder at her then back up the rear view mirror. Mike is looking around nervously while driving behind Puck in the center lane.
He starts to laugh so hard, then he looks over his shoulder and pulls onto the shoulder of the interstate. When he looks behind the car, he sees that Mike is looking extremely nervous and wondering why they stopped. Finn and Rachel are really confused and worried about Brittany, but Puck and Santana keep laughing.
"Mike really is going to happiest place on earth, in the happiest place on earth in his life right now." He starts to cough from laughing so hard.
Santana wipes away a tear. "Oh my God, you're right."
"What is going on?" Rachel raises her voice and looks to Finn for help. He just shrugs. Rachel looks back at Mike's car and sees Brittany sitting happily in the passenger seat. She gasps. "BRITTANY SUSAN PIERCE!" She yells even though she knows that the blonde won't be able to hear her. "That is completely unsafe on an interstate road! What are you thinking? And since when did you two start even doing that!"
Finn finally gets it and his eyes are wide. "Lucky bastard."
Puck looks over at Finn, finally glad that he got it. He holds out his fist and they bump together. "Seriously. We shouldn't have let them have the car to themselves."
"Don't condone that type of behavior!" Rachel smacks both of them. "Now drive! I need to get to the happiest place on earth to get that image out of my mind." She sinks down into her seat.
"Aw Rach, it's okay. Maybe we'll let you and Puck ride down to Miami alone so you can let Puck get his road head on."
"Santana!" Rachel blushes and refuses to look at Puck in the rear view mirror.
Once they get to the park Rachel and Brittany leave to purchase the tickets and grab a map to the park while the others stand and wait. Puck and Santana automatically start asking Mike a bunch of questions about if Brittany is good or not. When the two return, Mike has pink cheeks and asking if they're ready to go. Rachel begins to ignore him because she can't believe that it still happened.
"I want ears whenever I find Donald Duck, so can we do that first Rachel?" Brittany looks at her, smiling innocently.
"Sure." Rachel links arms with the blonde and they walk off in a direction to find some ear hats. Finn runs behind them and walks next to Rachel.
"Do you think they have a Steamboat Willie one?"
"I can't believe Finn wants one." Puck shakes his head.
"I demand beer and food after this." Santana crosses her arms over her chest and Mike agrees.
After a long hour of making ear hats for Finn, Rachel and Brittany, they go to Germany at Epcot. They're all nursing beers and eating German food. Finn has a sorcerer's apprentice ear hat, the blue pointy hat making him stand out even more. Rachel has a bright red Minnie bow and Brittany has one with a pink pirate bandana on it. The two girls had been adamant on getting pictures of the three of them, since they were so excited about being there. Puck was just happy that Finn was enjoying himself instead of thinking about Quinn this morning. And he couldn't help but think of how adorable Rachel is in her Minnie ears. Did he just think she's adorable? He takes a large drink of his beer. Afterwards, Rachel and Finn drag them to get pretzels then Puck pulls Santana and Mike into a store to look at steins. They all end up buying one for each of them, stuffing them in the girl's purses.
They spend the rest of the day going from the Tower of Terror, where the girls convinced them that it wasn't scary but ended up laughing at the picture they bought from the ride. All of the guys were scared while the girls pointed and smiled. The guys weren't happy with that one, especially when the girls said they wanted to frame it and put it up in the living room. To make up for it, they went on the Stars Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Somehow after that though, Brittany ran away from the group when she found Donald Duck. They took a group picture then one of Brittany kissing his cheek. Eventually they found Mickey so that Rachel could get her picture with him. Expedition Everest followed then they even got Santana and Puck to ride It's A Small World with the promise that they could drink more beer afterwards. Rachel was relieved that it looked like everyone was having fun.
"Are you having fun?" Rachel looks up at him.
"Yeah, it's actually not bad. Thanks for carrying my stein for me babe." He smiles at her instead of smirking. She bites her lip.
"It's no problem. That's one good thing about having a purse." She shrugs. "Oh look, Cinderella's castle." She points up to the large castle.
She stops and looks up at it. The rest of the group barely notice that they stopped until they look back at the two. Santana pulls out her camera and snaps a picture of Puck looking down at Rachel with a smile on his face. Then when he pulls her in to kiss her, she takes another one.
"They're going to want these one day, I can feel it." Brittany leans her head on Santana's shoulder as she looks down at the screen.
Finn and Mike nod, agreeing. "Hey you two, let's go! There's going to be a line to get good seats."
Rachel grabs onto his hand and pulls him towards the rest of the group. They locate the American Idol Experience and find seats while Rachel goes to 'audition.' It's finally night time and the park is much cooler as they sip on cokes. Puck and Santana critique all the people that are singing. There's two groups of three, and everyone in the audience gets to vote for who goes on. Rachel's turn is up next.
Puck is tapping his foot against the ground then realizes he recognizes this song. He looks over to Santana. "This is not a song I was expecting her to sing."
"Well yeah, but this is for a group at Disney World, it's smart to do something everyone probably knows."
"So she picks Fleetwood Mac?"
Santana is about to speak but then Rachel starts to sing. He's completely drawn into her, avoiding everyone around him. How does such a big sound come out of someone so tiny? He leans forward, his elbows on his knee as he watches her. Puck's positive that she doesn't know where they're sitting since they've been separated since they got there. Finn and Mike are torn between staring at Rachel or watching Puck's response to her. Santana and Brittany just laugh and sing along, watching Rachel in her shorts and v neck shirt dancing on stage as she sings.
"She looks like a natural up there." Puck finally turns to Santana.
"Rachel loves to sing." She shrugs and looks back at her best friend.
"She's pretty amazing." He ignores the look that Santana gives him and looks back to the stage. For a second they make eye contact. He's sure that she doesn't notice, but she looks back and connects with him. Singing then winking at him before looking to the judges.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen, key in your votes!" They all vote for Rachel of course and watch as they wait for the results. "Okay guys, you picked Rachel and Tyler to go against each other. We're going to give them a few minutes to go look over a song. We'll be back in twenty!"
"Are we going back to the hotel after this?" Brittany looks at all of them and rests her head on Santana's shoulder.
"Yeah Britts. I'm pretty exhausted." The guys agree with Santana.
"Okay, this is how it's going to work." Everyone looks back to the stage. "Our finalists will be singing a duet. Each will have a solos, but at the end, you vote for who you think sang better. The winner will receive a Dream Ticket and they'll get the chance to go audition for American Idol when auditions go around. Now give them a round of applause."
Everyone claps and Puck leans forward again. The music for Faithfully by Journey comes on. Tyler leads off and everyone is swaying back and forth, entranced by his voice. But when Rachel comes in, the audience gasps and stares in awe. Puck feels his stomach clenching as he watches her. She deserves the Dream Ticket. It ends, but Rachel got in the big notes and overpowered the other guy. It's pretty clear who the winner is going to be. When they announce that she won, she legit cries on stage and says thank you to everyone.
In true American Idol fashion, Rachel races towards them waving the ticket in the air. Santana and Brittany squealed yelling I told you so's to the smaller girl but hug her regardless.
"I knew you would get a ticket Rach! You're voice is so pretty." Brittany hugs her tightly again.
"What she said." Santana grinned and Rachel knew what was coming. The taller girl put her hands on Rachel's cheeks and pulled her close for a big kiss.
All the guys groaned but Brittany pouted. "What's wrong Brittany?" Mike looks at her worriedly.
"I never get sweet lady kisses from them."
Rachel and Santana look at each other, an evil glint in their eye. They move slowly towards Brittany and both kiss her on the mouth. Mike, being the sneaky ninja that he is, somehow managed to get a picture of it then quickly sent it to Finn and Puck before the girls noticed anything.
"Dude, how did you?" Finn looks at Mike, but the Asian gives him a warning look to not say anything.
"God, so hot." Puck ignores his phone and just stares straight at the girls. The girls pull away and giggle, glad that Brittany is wearing a smile on her face again. Rachel looks over to Puck shyly. "You were really good. I didn't know you had a voice like that."
"Did you really think it was good?"
"Do you not see that little ticket in your hand?" He plucks it from her fingers and waves it around. "The whole damn audience that it was good."
She bites her bottom lip and moves towards him, raising up to give him a quick kiss. "Can we go back to the hotel? I'm exhausted."
Everyone else groans in agreement, so they leave the park. Brittany, Finn and Rachel having their ear hats on.
Rachel, Santana and Brittany are on their side of the stadium warming up. They got the guys front row seats but haven't seen them since Wednesday. Once their coach said they had a little bit of free time before the other team is announced to the come on the field, they could go and do as they please within the limits of the field. So you could sit on the bench, talk to fans, or just warm up. Usually Santana and Rachel would throw back and forth to each other while Brittany sat on the ground and stretched, but this game they actually had something else to do. They left their helmets and walked over to the stands. The game wasn't in a covered arena, so the guys were all wearing sunglasses, which helped Puck keep his identity hidden a little more easily along with his newly purchased LA Temptation hat. All the guys got one.
"Nice hats." Brittany walks up and taps on the bill of Mike's.
"It's bright as fuck out here, I don't even understand how you're going to play." Puck leans over the railing and kisses Rachel's lips. "Hey babe. You look hot."
Santana looks at the two of them and rolls her eyes. Finn looks at their uniforms, this time it's white tops and bottoms, white lace garters and chokers. All of them looked better in the white uniforms than the other ones in his opinion.
"You two need to get a room." Finn looks at them then turns so that he doesn't have to look at them making out.
"Maybe later."
"Puck!" She slaps his arm but keeps a hold on his hand. Puck looks down at their hands and thinks it's not so bad to be holding hers out where everyone can see it.
"Did you guys get any dirt on the other team?" Mike leans over on the railing and looks between the girls. Finn does the same.
"No, but coach Beiste says that some of the girls on this team like to play dirty. A lot of them are new so I guess we won't really know until we start." Santana shrugs like it isn't a big deal, looking down at her nails.
"If anything happens we have to trust their doctors though."
"Oh, nothing will happen Brittany don't worry." Rachel smiles and waives her hand dismissively. She raises up on her toes to kiss Puck again.
"Lopez! Pierce! Berry! Get over here, they're about to announce the other team!" Will shouts over to them and turns around.
"We'll see you guys after the game." Brittany and Santana wink at them and head over to the benches.
"See you after." Rachel smiles up at him and kisses him deeply.
"Good luck Berry. I'll be cheering you on." Puck nips at her lips then smacks her ass as she leaves. She looks over her shoulder and glares at him, blowing a kiss.
"Dude, you totally like her." Finn stares in amazement at his friend.
"So what?" He spits out defensively.
"Nothing. She's good for you, that's all we're saying." Mike puts his hands defensively then puts on his sunglasses. "God I love this sport."
They all look out at the girls in lingerie. "You were right Puck, this is a great idea." Finn grins and pulls down his sunglasses too.
"Damn right Hudson, you should listen to me more often."
A quarter way through the first half of the game, Santana throws the ball to Rachel on the left side of the field. She's running towards the fifty in front of Puck, Finn and Mike. But everyone in the crowd sees it before she does, a taller girl from the other team is heading straight towards her. A second later, she tackles Rachel on the right side making them crash to the ground, the smaller girl hitting her head hard. The one from the other team gets up and walks away but Santana is ripping her helmet off and screaming Rachel's name, so she turns around and sees that the smaller girl isn't moving.
"Rachel!" Santana reaches her friend and looks to see if she's breathing.
Brittany is standing on the sidelines and her helmet drops as Santana screams for the doctors and coaches, but they're all headed in that direction anyways. They're all crowding around her but Brittany knows she can't run out to sit next to Santana. Puck stands up, leaning against the railing with his sunglasses on top of his head. All he can see is her pigtails on the grass now that her helmet is off and her legs not moving. Finn and Mike stand up, Finn putting his hand on Puck's shoulder. Santana's hand is on Rachel's knee sock as they examine her.
"Britt!" Puck calls over to her.
Brittany turns around and contemplates going over, but since no one is paying attention to her, she does. "I don't know what's going on Puck. They have her blocked from where I was standing." The blonde has tears in her eyes.
He runs his hand over her shoulder and she moves her hand to grip his. Mike shoots him a look, showing that he clearly wants to be the one to comfort her, so he takes her hand and leads her to Mike. She looks back at Puck and smiles sadly but squeezes his hand before going to his friend.
Just then, Santana looks over to Puck and Finn, a tear clearly rolling down her cheek. In the time they've known her, Rachel says that she has only really seen Santana cry once or twice. So they both knew that she had to be really scared in order to show that in a stadium filled with people. Puck grips the railing harder until he sees Santana gasp and Rachel's legs moving. He's about ready to jump over and run to her to see if she's okay. His stomach drops and he realizes that he really cares about her. They've all become like a little family in a week and that scares him.
Finn can tell that Puck is starting to lose it. "Don't freak out man. Don't fight the feelings you have, just let it go where it goes." He raises his eyebrows at Puck to make sure he's understanding.
He looks into the eyes of his best friend and nods. He's right, it's as easy as that. But when he looks onto the field he sees they brought out a stretcher and lifting Rachel onto it with something wrapped around her neck. They're wheeling her off towards the locker room and Santana quickly runs over to them.
"They're worried she might have a concussion from the hit. Her side may be sore but other than that it looks like she's fine. She just got knocked out when she got tackled." She wipes away the tear that is threatening to spill out. "You can see her after the game though. They're going to keep her in the locker room so she can relax a little."
Puck nods, knowing he can't really do much but suffer through the rest of the game. Finn leans over and pulls Santana into a hug. She tenses at first but then wraps her arms around his neck, him whispering something in her ear. Santana nods then pulls away, smiles at Puck then wraps pinky fingers with Brittany to go back to the sidelines. Will is just getting done talking to the girl who will replace Rachel.
The game starts back up, but it's clear that Santana isn't as focused as she was at the beginning of the game. It doesn't help that the girl who is in Rachel's spot isn't very good at catching the ball. The guys are groaning and yelling, wondering why she can't catch the ball. It gets intercepted and when Santana comes back to the sidelines she throws her helmet down and yells in Spanish. Brittany is out on the field and manages to get the ball back but by then it's halftime. All the girls disappear off the field and the guys slump back into their seats.
"This is rough." Finn runs his hand over his face.
"I don't think they're going to put San back in the next half." They all look at Mike who shrugs. "She's distracted."
The second half of the game, Mike was right. Santana is distracted and she isn't connecting with Rachel's replacement. It's the third down and they haven't made any progress what so ever. By Puck's calculations, they've actually lost yards. The coaches are frustrated, so they pull her out of the game and send Brittany in since she's the back up for Santana. The Latina is sitting on the bench, bent over with her hands covering the back of her head. Finn keeps his eyes on her, but Mike and Puck watch as Brittany gets them a touchdown, but no conversions. It leaves them losing 7-6.
Rachel is laying in her bed watching as Brittany and Santana get ready to go out with the guys. Her ribs are aching and her neck is a little sore. The blonde goes into the bathroom to curl her hair and Santana walks over to the bed, stroking her wavy brown locks.
"Are you sure you'll be alright?"
"I'm fine San. I'll look for something on TV and get room service. You guys have fun. I know the loss really sucked today."
"Just shows that we really do need you to win." She smirks and looks over to the door when she hears knocking. Hesitating for a minute, she looks back to Rachel. "Are you sure you're okay with us going out? I can take my anger out in here and just order a shit load of wine from room service."
"San, I don't want you to be miserable here. Go have fun."
Santana gets up and opens the door while Rachel burrows down into the blankets and grabs for the remote. All three of them walk in, wearing jeans and button up shirts. Puck walks over to Rachel and lays down next to her.
"How are you feeling Rach?" Finn walks over to the foot of her bed and looks at her concerned.
"I'm fine Finn, thank you. Just make sure you have some fun for me." She looks at him then over to Puck. She looks down nervously.
"I'm not going out." He pats her thigh then toes off his shoes.
"What? Why?" She looks at him then over to Mike and Finn.
"Well we all agreed that it'd probably be best if someone stayed with you so that you can get a lot of rest. We don't want you to be hurting at the beach tomorrow."
"Mike, that's so sweet of you guys but really, I'll be okay."
"Oh shut up Rach. Puck probably wouldn't have a good time unless you're there, so stop bitching. We won't come back too late, but if we do we'll just go up to the guys suite so you can sleep. We're leaving early tomorrow, probably around 9." Santana looks at her pointedly while putting in an earring.
Rachel sighs, looking at how they're getting all dressed up to go to the club and she's sitting her in her pajamas. She feels even worse that Puck is staying here to babysit her. "Fine. But I don't think I'm the one you should be worried about. Just remember having a hangover at the beach isn't fun."
They all laugh then head out the door once Brittany is done. She lays back against the pillows and looks to Puck. "I'm really sorry that you're stuck here."
"Like San, I wouldn't have had as much anyways. I'd be without a dancing partner." He winks and walks over to find a room service menu.
"Noah Puckerman not being able to find a dance partner? I'd like to see that happen." She mumbles. All she hears is his laugh from across the room while he searches the desk.
"It's more annoying than you think."
"Have people always called you Puck?" Rachel sits up a little more on the bed.
He turns around with his eyebrows furrowed like he's thinking hard. "Well yeah. From middle school to college, I had a mohawk. A badass stud like me doesn't go around by the name 'Noah.'" Puck shrugs and walks back over glancing at the menu.
"Would you mind if I called you Noah?" Rachel looks over, worried that he will freak out. Puck puts the menu down and glances over. She's biting her bottom lip and looks nervous. "I mean it might help avoiding bringing so much attention around if we all go around in public. I'd rather just call you you're given name anyways." She smiles hesitantly.
"No, it's not a problem. If you want to." He hands her the menu.
"Thank you." Rachel starts to look it over while he flips through channels. He usually only lets his mom and his sister call him that or certain family members, but it wouldn't be so bad if Rachel called him that.
"Do you know what you want?"
"Cheeseburger and fries with a coke."
Rachel leans over him, wincing slightly with her side but picking up the phone. Puck starts to rub her back and she smiles while she waits. "Yes, I'd like a cheeseburger, fries, chicken alfredo, a coke, water, and crème brule. Charge it to the room. Okay thanks." She puts the phone down and moves back next to Puck.
"Hungry much?" He laughs.
"I am actually." She pushes at him. "Don't be mean."
He grabs her arm and pulls her into his side, moving to where he's looking over her. "Really, how are you feeling?"
"My neck feels stiff and my side hurts a little bit, but I'm sure I'll be fine by tomorrow. I just cannot believe that bitch tackled me that hard." She gasps and covers her mouth. "Excuse my language."
Puck chuckles and rubs her neck a lightly "I can't believe 'that bitch,'" He smirks as she rolls her eyes with him repeating her words, "hit you that hard either. We were all really worried when you weren't moving. You looked so damn sexy in the uniform though." He leans down and kisses her slowly.
Rachel immediately responds, deepening the kiss while Puck moves over her. His left hand moving up, gently stroking circles where she got hit. Her hands sneak under his shirt, hands going up his abs then around to his back. How is he built like a Greek god?
He pulls away laughing then nips at her lips. "I work hard for this body baby."
Did she just say that out loud? Her eyes are closed and she tries to remember if she heard her voice when she thought that.
"Yes you did." She looks up at him with her eyes wide. "Did they give you something in the locker room?"
"Can ibuprofen make you high?"
Puck laughs a bit harder and puts his head down on her shoulder, kissing her collarbone where her tank top strap stops. "No it can't babe." She puts her hands over her face, a blush moving down her neck and onto her chest. "Aw c'mon, it was cute." Puck situates himself on his knees and pulls her hands off her face. He looks down and sees that she's all flushed then puts her hands above her head and kisses her again.
A moan comes from her mouth as she opens up to let his tongue in. She moves so that her legs wrap around his hips as he grinds into her. Right when Puck is about to take off her shirt, someone knocks on the door. She whimpers when her shirt is halfway up and his head falls down onto her chest.
"Cockblocked by food. That's just fucking terrific." He groans when his hands pull away from her soft, warm skin and walks to the door, adjusting himself and wanting to punch this person in the face.
"Room service!" Rachel feels bad for the person on the other side of the door.
"Yeah, we know." Puck pulls open the door, the teenager immediately backing up a bit and pushes the tray towards the taller man. He can tell that Puck isn't happy but he tries to smile anyways. "Here man." Puck hands him some cash and mumbles out a thanks.
"Thanks Noah." Rachel smiles and bites her lip, eyeing the food instead of him.
"No problem." He hands Rachel her food then sits down and pulls his into his lap. "Oh my God this looks good."
She giggles and digs into her food. "So you said that you have a sister?"
"Mm." He nods his head as he chews then swallows. "Yeah, she just turned 21 a few months ago. She's at Ohio State. You got any siblings?"
"No. My father's decided not to have another child. It may have been for the fact that they didn't want to find another surrogate once we all got to New York."
"Wait, father's?"
She nods. "Yes, they're gay and got a surrogate to have me." Rachel smiles brightly. "But they were very invested in my future so having another child probably would've distracted them from that anyways."
"How's that?"
Rachel turns towards him and puts her hands in her lap. "Well they put me in acting, vocal and dance lessons. For the longest time I wanted to be on Broadway."
"But?"
She laughs. "But once I got to NYU, it just wasn't as fun anymore. I still love singing but the acting part just didn't work out. I just worked faster and got my degree, then I tried out for the team. It was a good change though and an opportunity that I didn't want to give up."
"As long as you're happy then that's pretty cool." Puck polishes off his burger then leans back onto the pillows. "You've got a killer voice though. People should hear that shit."
Rachel scrunches her nose at his language. "Did you always want to be an actor?" She bites into her food and turns so that she's facing him.
He laughs and reaches over to tuck her hair behind her ear, his hand landing down on top of her thigh. "Nope. I took a film class when I was still undeclared and I actually really liked it. Then I got to taking more and majored in film studies. When we all moved to LA I went to go interview for a job and it ended up being an audition. Got the part though." He winks.
"You've got to be pretty lucky."
"Something like that. I've never really had it easy."
"What do you mean?" Rachel takes another bite.
"My dad left when I was younger and Sarah was barely even one. My ma had to work two jobs and worked long shifts at the hospital. She's a nurse." He bit into his burger, wondering why it was so easy to tell her this.
"Oh I'm so sorry."
He waves her off and takes another bite. "He's a jackass anyways. I hope I never see him again."
"My mother came back to find me during high school." Puck looks at her, a crease forming between his eyebrows. "She wanted to get to know me, but when she realized that I wasn't a little girl anymore, she just left." She rubs the crease while she talks, smiling when he relaxes.
"She doesn't deserve you then."
Rachel pushes her bowl away and starts to eat her dessert. She holds up the spoon, offering him a bite then finishes it off quickly after. They talk about him acting some more and about high school. Her being bullied and how she favored skirts and sweaters, him being even more of an asshole and a jock. But once they get done talking, she's curled up into his side watching random movies until they both fall asleep.
Puck wakes up the next morning to someone whispering his name and pushing at his shoulder. "Puck, wake up."
He rolls over and sees Santana and Brittany staring at him with smiles on their faces. He reaches over to where Rachel was sleeping, but the spot is cold. "Where's Rach?"
"Getting ready. We have to get on the road soon. The guys have already showered so you'll have the bathroom to yourself up there. We used your shower."
He lifts an eyebrow. "Together?"
"No! I showered with Mike." Brittany smiles and walks towards the bathroom. "Rachel can I help with your hair?" The bathroom door opens and closes.
"So those two?"
"Yeah, they had a lot of fun last night. Did you?" Santana smirks and him and lifts a perfectly manicured eyebrow at him.
"I got cockblocked by food then we spent most of the night talking and watching movies."
"Talking? Is that what you do with most girls?"
He sighs, wondering where this conversation is going. "Not really."
"I've seen you in those stupid gossip magazines, you tend to get around a lot. So I'm just going to say this once. Figure out if you want to be sleeping around with other girls or not then let Rachel know what this is between the two of you. I don't want to see her get hurt. The last relationship she was in turned shitty towards the end. She's my best friend and like a sister to me. More so than my actual sister."
"Look, I know we all haven't known each other a long time, but I think this could be more than just sex. Even if she ends up being just my friend, but if that's the case I'm not going to fuck around with her. There's something special about her and I want to find out. You guys are pretty damn cool too. Especially if you all keep kissing each other." Puck gets up and winks at her.
"I'll be watching." Santana looks at him then smirks, walking towards her suitcase.
"Alright Lopez. I'll see you guys downstairs." He knocks on the door. "Hey Rach, I'm gonna go shower and get my shit."
"See you downstairs Noah."
Once Rachel comes out of the bathroom, Santana is sitting on her bed next to the open suitcase. "Noah?"
"Yes, I asked him if I could call him that. I figured it might be easier to call him that in public and get less attention drawn towards us all."
"Or maybe you're seeing a different side of him then we are." Brittany chimes in, zipping up her suitcase then sitting on the floor by Rachel, her Mickey ears hat sitting on her head.
"I've seen the same side that you guys have, so stop."
"You've seen the naked side of Puck. I wouldn't mind seeing that part though." Santana shrugs and pulls out Rachel's bikini. "You should put this on. We're going to the beach right after we check in."
"I wouldn't mind seeing Puck naked." Brittany looks up at the ceiling.
"Stop imagining him naked!" Rachel shrieks and grabs her bikini. She turns toward the blonde and glares slightly. "And aren't you with Mike now? You just told me that while you were curling my hair."
"Stomp away a little more Rach. Jealous looks good on you." Santana laughs. Then she looks over to Brittany who is biting her lip. "You thinking about Puck still?"
"We'll get to see part of his body at the beach, but I was thinking about my shower this morning." She blushes.
"Tell me, does Mike have a 6 pack? When we met him I thought he would."
"Eight."
"Holy shit." Santana falls back against the bed. She looks over at Brittany. "How many do you think Puck has?"
"Six." Rachel calls from the bathroom. "Please stop talking about their bodies! You'll get to see them in a few hours anyways." She walks out in her bikini top and her shorts. "Is there a bruise on my ribs?"
Brittany examines her side from the floor when she gets by them again. "I don't see anything. Does it hurt?"
"It's not bad. I've had worse."
The blonde hugs Rachel then gets up to get her suitcase. All the girls are sporting wavy hair, shorts and a loose top over their bikinis. "To the beach!" Brittany grins and turns to walk out the door while Rachel makes sure that they have everything.
Puck and Finn pull up to the beach parking lot and the guys carry everything out while the girls carry their bags. Rachel sets up her towel and sets up her sun block and other various items to keep her towel from blowing away. Santana and Brittany do the same, then they all lay down while the guys disappear to get beer and water. Rachel drops down her wayfarer glasses and the other two do the same with theirs. They all match.
"It's so nice out today." Rachel stretches out and her hand accidentally hits the umbrella that they put up. Santana steadies it then goes back to sunbathing.
"Do you think the guys will go in the ocean?" Brittany props up on her elbows and looks over.
"Sure Britts. They'll probably do anything you ask them to." Rachel smiles at Santana's answer and lays back down.
The guys walk over and drop down a styrofoam cooler filled with ice, beer, water and frozen popsicles. Puck leans down and kisses Rachel. "Guess what we got?"
"Stuff to make a sandcastle?" Brittany asks excitedly.
They all look over at her and she shrugs. "Not quite Britt." Mike pulls out a football. "How about a little game of touch football?"
"You do know that we do this all the time right?" Santana stands up and puts her hands on her hips.
"So what? But since you all do play together, we're going to split up. Me, Mike and Santana on one team. Finn, Rachel and Brittany on the other."
Brittany jumps up and runs over to an open area with Mike, Finn and Santana following along. Puck helps Rachel up and puts his arm around her. "You gonna be alright to play?"
"Oh yeah. You're going to lose." She sticks her tongue out and runs over to Finn and Brittany. Puck laughs and goes near his team. "Let's kick some ass!" Rachel bumps her fist with her teammates and hands the ball to Finn.
The game isn't really taken seriously, Mike will playfully wrap his arms around Brittany to 'block' her from catching the ball. Finn and Rachel actually make a decent team but she still can't connect more with a quarterback unless it's Santana or when Brittany fills in. When Rachel moves into the area of the sand they claim is the end zone and gets a touchdown, Santana starts to cuss in Spanish, glaring at Puck and Mike. A few people around them look at her in shock and cover their children's ears. Everyone laughs but get a heated glare from the girl.
"This is my last try to win this or else I'm going to go lay down." Santana looks at Puck then to Mike. Both are a bit scared of her at the moment.
"C'mon Puckerman, show me what you got." Rachel licks her lips and smiles at Puck.
"Oh Berry, you don't even know what's coming." He grins when her eyes get dark, but she literally shakes her head.
Santana throws the ball, but Brittany moves quickly in front of Mike, catching the ball and scoring another touchdown. Santana throws up her hands and points to Mike and Puck. "You two suck! Next time, I get my girls back and we're going to own your asses." She walks off to their towels and sits down, pulling down her sunglasses and cracking open a beer.
"Good game guys." Finn smiles sheepishly then goes after Santana. Mike just rewards Brittany with a kiss.
After everyone else goes to sit down and drink some beer, Puck pulls Rachel towards the water. "C'mon Rach, it's not that cold."
She walks in a bit farther, only to run back towards the sand. "Noah that's freezing!"
He runs after her and wraps his arms around her waist, dragging her back. "Once you get in it's fine. I swear."
"You're rolling your eyes at me under those aviators aren't you?" Rachel runs away deeper into the ocean until it's halfway up her stomach. "Is this better?" She laughs as he stalks towards her.
He wraps his arms around her, lifting her up until she wraps her legs around his waist. "Now it's better." He smirks.
"You're ridiculous." She rolls her eyes even though he can't see her eyes through her sunglasses. Rachel wraps her left arm behind his neck and around his shoulder. The other rests on his chest then leans down to kiss him, tracing her tongue around his lips until he lets her in. Puck tightens his grip on her waist, careful to avoid her ribs. He walks deeper into the ocean until the water is up his back. She gasps at how much colder it is and pulls away.
"It's really cold!" She hugs him closer and looks down at the water.
"I'll warm you up baby." He waggles his eyebrows.
"You're so disgusting. And this isn't even sanitary." She scrunches up her nose and looks around. "What if there's sharks in here?"
Puck laughs then tosses her playfully away from him. She pops back up, standing on her toes as she tries to get back to the beach. Rachel laughs then turns around when she can stand up better and splashes him. He spits out some water and puts his sunglasses on top of his head. "Did you really just splash me?"
Rachel bites her lip and tries not to laugh, putting her sunglasses up too. He starts to run the best he can through the water to chase after her, splashing her as he goes. "Noah! Stop!" He doesn't though until he reaches her and throws her over his shoulder.
"Not a chance." He drags her up the beach, ignoring the amused looks from their friends. He slaps her ass then drops her onto the sand, laying on her towel and grabbing a beer.
Santana is smirking from her place in between Brittany and Finn. "You two need to just get a room and stay there."
"Rachel, will you come with me to find stuff to make a sandcastle? I've never made one before." Brittany smiles up at her friend.
"Sure." She smiles brightly. "I've never made one either." Rachel grabs her phone just in case and they walk over to a row of shops that's set up.
Everyone looks over at Puck who has his sunglasses back down on his face with his headphones in. They roll their eyes and Santana goes back to her looking on her phone. Opening up Twitter, she looks through her friends tweets along with random celebrities. She gets down to one that updates on different celebrities, usually pictures taken by the paparazzi. She clicks open a link and she sees it. Santana sits up abruptly, throwing off her sunglasses that hits Finn on the chest.
"Ow San." He rubs his chest and sits up. "What was that for?"
She stares at her phone then shows it to Mike and Finn. There on the screen is a picture of Rachel in her white bikini with her legs wrapped around a half naked Puck, kissing in the middle of the ocean.
Who is Puck's new lady? According to some sources, we found that he is vacationing in Miami with his best friends Finn Hudson and Mike Chang. But we're not sure who the three hot bikini babes that are with them.
Santana scrolls down to another picture further down on the link that shows them both with their sunglasses up on top of their heads and splashing around.
We have recognized Puck's friend as Rachel Berry, the wide receiver for the LFL LA Temptation team. Could the other two girls be on the same team? They did have a game this past Friday in Orlando. Guess we have a new girl to watch as Hollywood's new heart throb vacays.
"Shit." They all mutter together.
Note: I meant to add this last chapter but...I forgot. This is the condo that I'm using as the girls' home and their rooms are similar to their rooms on Glee.

Also, I tweaked the American Idol Experience to fit in with the story. They do have groups who perform and they do offer a Dream Ticket :)
