A/N: There are a few song related spoilers in this chapter.

I do not own Glee.

Quinn poured the last bag of chips into a bowl and set it neatly on the table in her family room. She had been excited for this party all week. Rachel and Mercedes were setting up a karaoke machine in the corner. The girls had been working together all afternoon to get the party set up. They were all still giddy from winning Regionals and they had been laughing and joking, Quinn was sure it was going to be a great party. It would be her first party hosting as a couple with Sam, Mercedes was excited because Kurt and Blaine were coming, and Rachel was looking forward to spending the evening with Finn. Quinn's mom would be out of town until Monday afternoon and she just wanted to chill out and laugh with her new friends. She was used to having a ton of friends and always being busy, and since she'd left the Cheerios 2 months ago, she'd been really lonely. Mercedes and Rachel were going to spend the night and help her clean up tomorrow, and right now, she felt like she was on her way back to being her old self.

The rest of the Glee Club started to arrive, Finn and Puck brought pizzas for everyone, and they were all eating and goofing off. Things were off to a great start. After awhile, Blaine and Kurt were controlling the karaoke machine and Tina and Mike and Brittany were dancing. Things were going pretty smoothly, when Puck caught Sam's eye and motioned for him to meet him outside.

*Glee*

Finn was in a huge mess. He really wanted to be with Rachel. She had a list of duets she wanted them to do for karaoke, and he loved to sing with her, but she looked super cute in her sundress, and he knew Quinn's house pretty well, he was dying to steal her away and make her forget the karaoke list. Instead, he was on Santana duty. Which meant he had to watch where she was at all times, while he waited for Puck to find Sam and tell him to cool it. This was actually like, the worst plan ever. Rachel was pissed that he kept talking to Santana. After the third time his eyes had wandered over to Santana while she was talking, she'd stomped off in a huff. She was currently flipping through Blaine's iPod and shooting daggers at him with her eyes. He could only imagine what the three of them were planning for her to sing. He was ready to go home. Puck was definitely going to pay for this.

He finally saw Puck and Sam head outside, so he decided his Santana babysitting duties were over. If Puck was worried about her, he could take care of it. Finn headed over to Rachel, to try and patch things up. Puck wanted him to keep the whole mess a secret, but Rachel was a captian too. Maybe he could just tell her. If she was still talking to him, she looked furious when he finally made it to her side.

She grabbed his arm and drug him into the corner. He could see she was about to explode. "I don't know what your deal is, Finn Hudson, but I am not going to play these stupid games with you! I know you saw me with Jesse today, and if you think you're going to flirt with Santana all night and make me jealous, well it just won't work. I don't care!" She crossed her arms and glared at him. He had to bite back a smile. She totally cared. "Jesse was taunting me! I didn't even want to talk to him. You can't get jealous every time I talk to another guy!"

He sighed. She was totally off track about what was going on tonight, but he had been a little jealous of her talking to Jesse this morning. He started to set her straight, but Mercedes called for her to come up, it was their turn for karaoke. He sat on a chair by the machine and waited. He loved hearing Rachel sing, he could wait to calm her down. Besides, he remembered this song from a movie Rachel made him watch this summer, she and Mercedes were going to kill it!

every single day,

I walk down the street

Ihear people say 'baby so sweet'

ever since puberty

everybody stares at me

boys girls I can't help it baby

so be kind and don't lose your mind

just remember that I'm your baby

take me for what I am

who I was meant to be

and if you give a damn

take me baby

or leave me

*Glee*

Sam followed Puck out the sliding glass doors onto Quinn's patio. He thought Puck was a jerk and he didn't understand how Quinn had ever gotten mixed up with him. He was thinking about how Quinn's backyard was nice and private and wondering who he could get to sneak out here with him later, when he realized Puck had stopped walking. He almost ran right into him. In fact, they were standing so close, it was a little uncomfortable.

"What's your problem, man?" Sam asked. He waited as Puck stared him down. "Come on, man, I outgrew staring contests in like, third grade."

"I saw you, at Regionals." Sam felt a little of his confidence fade away. Shit. "I don't want to tell Quinn. I, uh, don't want to break the team up. But you've got to stay away from Santana." Puck sounded tough, but Sam heard the waver in his voice.

"Really. You're one to talk. I hear you've been with EVERY girl in Glee Club." He sneered at Puck. He knew Puck didn't have a leg to stand on. "I think this is about something else. Someone else. I think you're just pissed that Quinn chose me over you."

"No way. We just need the whole team for Nationals. This is all about Glee." Puck's face looked like stone, but Sam wasn't buying it.

"All about Glee, huh? Well, let's settle it by singing then. A sing off. One artist, we both sing one song. And we let...Quinn choose the winner. If I win, you don't say a word. If you win, I'll leave Santana alone. Deal?"

Puck was pretty confident that he could charm Quinn with a song, he could think of at least 4 that would have her in his arms in a heartbeat. "Fine. Who chooses the artist?"

"Coin toss." Sam said.

Puck had never regretted losing a coin toss more.

*Glee*

Rachel and Mercedes finished their song to claps and cheers from everyone in the room. No one even noticed Puck and Sam coming back inside. Rachel walked over to Finn, surprised to see him clapping and cheering with everyone else. He pulled her onto his lap and kissed her.

"You're awesome." He said when he ended the kiss. "I was only mad about Jesse for like a minute. I walked away so I wouldn't be a jerk. I've got to tell you about something else that's going on later." She looked at him confused for a minute, but then leaned up to kiss his cheek. He saw Puck and Sam over at the karaoke list. What the heck? "Rachel, I promise we'll talk in a little bit. I need to go check on something."

Rachel walked over to where Quinn and Mercedes were sitting on the couch. She sat down next to Mercedes to go over how awesome their duet was, when they heard Blaine calling for everyone's attention.

"Alright everyone, we're having an old fashioned sing off." He said with the kind of voice you'd expect from a circus ring leader. Everyone laughed uncomfortably. "Sam and Puck here are going to sing and Quinn, since it's your house, you're going to be the judge!" Quinn looked a little shocked. Whatever this was about, it could not be good. Blaine explained the rules of the contest and said Sam would be singing.

Sam grabbed his microphone and walked over to Quinn, and grinned at her charmingly, his shaggy hair was brushed over his forehead and as his music started, she couldn't help but laugh. Everyone would make fun of her if they knew, but this song was her guilty pleasure. She sang it all the time in the car. Sam wasn't playing fair at all!

Alright let's go

There's gonna be one less lonely girl (one less lonely girl)

One less lonely girl (one less lonely girl)

There's gonna be one less lonely girl (one less lonely girl)

One less lonely girl (ha)

How many I told you's and start overs

And shoulders have you cried on before

How many promises be honest girl

How many tears you let hit the floor

How many bags you packed

Just to take 'em back tell me that

How many either or's but no more

If you let me inside of your world

There'll be the one less lonely girl

He was singing straight to Quinn. She was clapping and smiling, totally loving it. He tried some "smooth" dance moves and all the girls giggled. Yeah, he had this in the bag. When the song ended, they all clapped and cheered. Quinn jumped up to hug him. Puck didn't stand a chance.
