Puck's Little Sister Disasters
A series of unrelated one-shots about people from Glee meeting Puck's little sister and having to re-think what they know about the jock. Puck's sister will be consistently named Sarah but other than that timelines, ages, and back-stories change for each story.
Story 6: At Her Graduation
"I can't come to practice next Friday, my little brother's eighth grade graduation is that afternoon," Mercedes announced as Rachel pushed for additional practices so close to the end of the year.
"Yeah, Mike's cousin is graduating too, we're going with his family," Tina added halfheartedly, still not so into the Asian togetherness.
"Oh, then we could perform something special for them at their graduation," Rachel happily amended her plans. Most of the club looked bored or indifferent and it seemed like Rachel's idea would go through as usual when Puck jumped up so forcefully his chair fell over and skidded backwards into the wall. Stomping over to the girl in front of the room he crowded into her personal space.
"If you even think of planning something like that I'll kidnap you, duck tape your mouth shut, and leave you somewhere until next Saturday. That graduation is those kids' special day and not an opportunity for a diva bitch like you to show off." His fists clenched and his most ferocious glower on his face Puck turned to survey the rest to the Glee club. "If any of you help her I'll tie you up and stick you in dumpsters all over Lima the day before trash day, and leave you there."
No one spoke, stunned by how extreme Puck's offence at Rachel's suggestion was, as the jock snatched his bag and stormed out the door. He'd basically threatened to indirectly murder them; the trash collectors would come by and when they attached the dumpsters to the truck and let it tip the contents into the back anyone left bound in a dumpster would find themselves buried under the trash they'd been tossed on before again being dumped into the landfill miles outside of town. If Puck followed through on that threat it had the potential to leave whoever helped Rachel buried alive under tons of trash, left to slowly suffocate or be crushed to death.
"Well, Rachel's idea had the potential to be, nice, but we really can't do something like that if one of our members doesn't want to so let's move back to this week's lesson," Mr. Schue offered to break the tense stillness Puck left the room trapped in.
The next week and a half was torturously awkward for the entire club. Rachel's repeated attempts to talk with and sing to Puck about his feelings not only failed but also seemed to aggravate him. Outside of Glee he took to avoiding all the members of New Directions regardless of whether they'd tried to sympathize with him or berate him for his needlessly harsh threats. Most notoriously was the time Quinn approached Puck off to the side just before Glee, no one but him heard what she said but everyone heard Puck's reply.
"I know Sarah's graduating too, if you're embarrassed about performing in front of her you really need to think about next year when she goes here too. She'll be at all of the assemblies we perform at," Quinn quietly tried to talk to Puck about his outburst a few days before. He stared at her incredulously before laughing in her face.
"Wow, Quinn," he stood and continued speaking loudly enough for the rest of the club to hear. "Even after living with me you still don't know a thing about me. No wonder we never worked, you clearly weren't trying even a little."
An insulted Quinn refused to tell anyone what he'd been talking about and even though she knew he was right, that she'd never seriously given him a chance, she refused to speak to him again until he apologized.
"Hey, Sarah. How was today's rehearsal? Aced your part yet?" Puck called as he walked into his house and slung his bag on the floor near the door.
"Duh, I could sing that solo in my sleep by now. The teachers care more about the whole thing than most of the kids," his sister told him as she flounced into the room, munching on an apple.
Tall and slim Sarah was only 14, in Puck's mind still his little kid sister and in no way old enough to be starting high school next year, but she could pass as sixteen in the right clothes and make-up. It ticked him off sometimes that his sister was less than three inches shorter than him but he knew they were both still growing so he let it go most of the time. Days like this it hit him how grown-up she was; long wavy brown hair, lightly tanned skin, and big brown eyes, she'd have half the high school boys drooling over her next year even if she didn't join the Cheerios like she kept threatening.
Whenever he went to Synagogue with his Nana lately he thanked all that he was supposed to hold holy (if he was a better kosher keeping Jew and all) that Sarah wasn't into boys like he'd been into girls at that age. Thank God she learned from his mistakes and actually listened his advice ('Sarah you really should wait for marriage to have sex, or at least a very serious already long lasting relationship no earlier than college. Trust me, I regret ending up like this and almost every girl I've heard talking about it wishes she'd waited to lose her virginity.' 'Ugh, gross Noah; I don't need to hear about how you regret being a man-slut, I knew that. I wasn't planning on doing anything but I'm pretty sure this kind of talk might totally put me off sex forever.' 'Oh, well, that's even better, I guess.').
"Noah, helloo?" Sarah loudly called from around two feet away.
"Sorry, got lost in thought." He sheepishly rubbed the back of his head along his mohawk.
"Really," she raised a skeptical eyebrow. "What kind of thought could occupy your pea sized brain for more than a second?"
"Just thinking about how freaking grown-up you are, singing a solo in front of everyone, starting high school next year, growing too damn tall," he drifted off.
"There's two other people with solos and the music teacher has everyone in the whole grade singing the chorus together. Besides, I thought you were looking forward to being able to watch out for me at school, threatening anybody who looks at me funny and scaring the Glee club with the idea of another Puckerman joining," she teased him.
"Yeah, how much are you willing to bet I could convince everyone you're just as much of a badass home wrecker as I am?" He headed for the kitchen for an afterschool snack with a smirk back on his face.
"You try it and I won't just be spilling that you really joined Glee because you like singing, I'll be sharing all your secrets," threatened the younger sibling as she stuck her tongue out at her brother's back. "Like the real reason you keep your hair short Mr. Jew-fro."
"Fine! Go do your homework or something, spoilsport."
Lima's middle school held their graduation in the high school's auditorium every year, it made it easy for parents to get the older siblings to show up and it was one of the few places in town that could hold all the families comfortably, besides the mall or football stadium. Mercedes was sitting with her family, Mike, and Tina, sat with his. Rachel and Finn were sitting in the very back with Mr. Schuester to 'survey the incoming freshmen for the talent to successfully back me during our performances and competitions next year' as Rachel declared it.
"Is that Puck?" Rachel pointed to the back of a mohawked head in one of the front rows.
"I think he's the only one in Lima with a mohawk," Finn admitted.
"Then why is he-"
"Sshhh," hissed a parent as the lights dimmed. They spent the rest of the ceremony wondering why Puck was attending the eighth grade graduation; he hadn't even gone to theirs when he was one of the kids graduating. It was a nice ceremony with the whole graduating class singing a few songs about widened horizons, growing-up, and spreading their wings. Three students had solos in the songs and while one of the girls, a little redhead, was a bit wobbly the other girl and boy who'd been chosen were very good for their age and Mr. Schue, and Rachel, made a note to seek them out afterwards. Once everyone had their diploma and the lights brightened again the graduates ran out to their families.
"Excuse me," Mr. Schue went off to congratulate and invite the boy, whose family was the closest, to join Glee Club next year. Rachel dragged Finn down towards the stage where the brunette girl with the really good voice had stopped (if Rachel wasn't going to be a senior next year she would have felt a little more threatened by the incoming freshman who had a good voice, was also a brunette, and was taller than her, but since she had seniority she wasn't too worried).
"Hold-up, it's Puck, again," Finn pointed to the mohawked teen handing the girl who'd sung a solo a bouquet of pink carnations before hugging her.
"What is he doing, did he have the same idea as us? Is he trying to seduce that girl before she even gets to high school?" Rachel fumed as she stormed over to them, Finn tagging along behind her like a duckling following its mother.
"NOAH PUCKERMAN, what do you think you're doing with that girl?" She called loudly as she got closer to the duo.
"Um, congratulating my sister on her graduation and her solo?" He said confusedly amongst all the stares.
"Hi, I'm Noah's little sister Sarah, you must be the infamously loud Rachel," Puck's sister commented as she held out her hand to shake Rachel's. Rachel blushed and wordlessly shook Sarah's hand, embarrassed at the assumption she'd made about the two siblings.
"Oh! This is why you didn't want to perform today! You wanted to watch your sister's ceremony," Rachel said with a look on her face like she'd finally discovered why Puck was so mad at her all week.
"No. I didn't want you ruining her big day with your big mouth," he stated bluntly. "Now, I'm taking Sarah out for a celebration dinner so, bye." Puck held out his arm for his sister to hold as he escorted her outside.
"Bye Ford," Sarah called to Mercedes's little brother on her way out the door.
The Puckerman siblings walked out leaving the self-proclaimed star of New Directions standing next to her leading man staring after them.
AN: So I joined the Peace Corps like back in 2010 and have had very spotty Internet since then, I never seem to have a flash drive with my stories (mostly GWA which is actually done) on it when I visit a town or city with Internet, so I'm just posting as I can. Also because of this I've only seen the first half of the second year of Glee, anything that happens after that may or may not be included in any of my fics because I may have started writing it before an episode came out or before I heard of it.
