Ok so there isn't much progression in this chapter but I hope you guys like it! Please review :)

"You know who Mariah Carey is?" Riley was astounded at Puck's sudden interest in popular culture.

"Yeah, the girl is stacked!" Puck wiggled his eyebrows but the fun stopped as Rachel approached him.

"Noah-" Rachel began to speak to Puck in her usual harsh tones. Puck was used to disappointment. Especially from someone like Rachel who was almost flawless. He knew he was about to get yelled at for something. He had no idea what he had done wrong but knowing Rachel, she would find something.

"Wait a minute, why does she get to call you Noah?" Riley was offended that the person in front of her dressed like a Catholic school girl was allowed to use Puck's first name when she was not. Then again, Catholic schools girls were every boy's fantasy. And this girl seemed to have a sort of dominatrix attitude. Riley never suspected Puck as the kinky type. Riley shook her head as if she was waking up from a bizarre dream. Whoa! Why am I thinking about Noah's sex life? Snap out of it Riley!

"She's not. Berry, you have to call me Thor now." Puck gave Rachel one of his classic smirks. Riley giggled at their little inside joke and Rachel looked confused. But she put aside what she thought was a name with sexual meaning involved, being that it was Noah's new nickname and he oozed of sex appeal.

"I do not find your lack of appreciation for your birth given name amusing. I am sure your parents thought long and hard," Puck giggled as he thought of a million jokes he could play off of Rachel's use of 'long and hard' but held back because he didn't want Riley to think he was some pervy high school kid. Rachel continued her speech "about what to name you and you should honor their decision as well as my parent's decision by calling me Rachel instead of Berry. Anyway, I came to you to ask why you were not at glee practice today."

Puck's jaw clenched and his eyes bulged out of his head for a split second. Crap! I don't want Riley knowing I'm in the fucking Polyphonic Spree of high school. Ah, quick distract her! "Oh, Riley look! Your doctor's taking off all his clothes!" Puck blurted out trying to create a diversion so Riley would forget the mention of glee club. It didn't work. Apparently she was already watching when the guy got into a car and drove off, so she knew he couldn't possibly be in the park…naked.

"That was subtle, Thor." Riley was always good at sarcasm. She gave him a sly smile. What is he not telling me? "So, glee practice? Sounds…cheery."

"It is," Puck was not going to let Riley in on his little after school activity. So he was doing what he did best (besides sex) and lied, "It's a cheery club. We just sit around and talk about how happy we are! It's loads of fun. Well, we gotta go Berry. Nice seeing you and I'll be in the next meeting to talk about…happy things, I promise!" Puck said all of this in one breath and grabbed Riley's hand, pulling her away from Rachel. He was usually better at lying than that but for some reason he had trouble lying to Riley. The brunette girl just stared after them, dumbfounded as she was left alone in the park.

When they were a safe distance from Rachel, Puck stopped and smiled at Riley like the little mini-seizure he just had was nothing. She almost forgot about it too as she got lost in his handsome face, but she then remember that he had gone crazy back there. "What the hell was that?" Riley was just as confused as Rachel was. She reached up to tuck her hair behind her ear and a gust of wind sent a waft of her perfume up Puck's nostrils. Pucks muscular arms tensed. She smelled so good.

"What was what?" Puck gave her an innocent smile. She was never, ever, finding out about glee club. She was never even gonna find out he could actually sing.

"You're a strange kid, Thor." Riley blew it off for now. She was very persistent but she was too tired now. So she would badger him later on his little freak out. She began to walk back to her car, Puck not too far behind her.

Puck mumbled under his breath, "Damn, that was close."

They were back at Riley's motel room. There was a king size bed that was cleaned but wrinkled. A small couch and chair were set around a tiny coffee table. The bedside tables didn't match, and the door on the bathroom didn't lock. Puck was sitting in the chair looking at the adult website and Viagra ads in the phonebook why Riley was trying to get the TV to work. Basically, she was slamming her fist on the top of it at yelling at it. She insisted that if she lowered the set's self-esteem it would give in and start working.

"Would you just let me take a look at it?" Puck didn't bother looking up at Riley since this was the 6th time he had asked her. He was only doing it again now because he knew if he didn't Riley would be mad at him for not trying to be a help.

"Sure, if you can pry your eyes away from the hooker advertisement." Riley finally gave up and plopped herself on the bed. She was glaring at the TV, doing her best to intimidate it.

"Escort service." Puck corrected Riley and began to fiddle with the ancient TV's antennae. That's when Riley began to softly sing.

Ground Control to Major Tom,

Take your protein pills and put your helmet on.

Ground Control to Major Tom,

Commencing countdown, engines on.

Check ignition and may God's love be with you.

Riley all of a sudden got significantly louder

THIS IS GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR TOM,

YOU'VE REALLY MADE THE GREEEEAA –

"Riley! Are you seriously hungry again?!" Puck recognized the David Bowie song and knew what it meant. She really could eat.

"Give me a break! It was a 9 hour drive here and I hadn't had anything to eat until we went to that diner earlier! Now, go get me a pizza…please" She put on a sweet smile. There was no way Puck could ignore that. He smiled back at her. She made him such a pushover!

"Sure." And with that he grabbed the keys to her car and left her in the motel room while she cussed at the television.

A little while later, Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here filled the room. Her phone was ringing. It was Clark.

Riley picked it up. She was hesitant at first but knew that this was the 47th time he had called since he found her missing. She figured she should answer him and at least let him know she is alive.

She pressed the 'accept call' button and held the phone up to her ear, her hand shaking the whole time. "Hello?"
