Never Forgotten Past
Last Time: Puck and Sarah went out on a date to forget everything that had happened. Sarah came back home to the Hudson-Hummels, but only because Puck's concerned for her safety. Tensions are still running high between Puck and Finn. And that's what you missed last time on Never Forgotten Past.

Puck's Point of View
I hurried over to Sarah's locker between first and second hour so I could tell her what a jerk my English teacher was.
Sarah was just closing her locker when I came up behind her, "Hey," I said, out of breath.
"Oh, hey," Sarah smiled then went on her tip toes to kiss me, "What's up?"
"Mr. Klinefeld's a jerk and gave me lunch detention for coming ten minutes late to class," I told her after pulling away.
Sarah's face lit up and I felt insulted, "Good," she said with a smile.
"What is your problem?" I asked.
A look of shock crossed Sarah's face then she erupted into a fit of laughter, "I'm sorry," she sputtered.
"Why are you happy that I'm not going to be there with you at lunch today?" I asked again.
"I wasn't going to have lunch with you anyways, I was going to have lunch with Rachel, Kurt, Finn, Santana, Quinn, and probably Brittany," she replied.
"And why wouldn't I be aloud to have lunch with you guys?" I was full of questions, but my girlfriend was practically shunning me and I needed answers.
Sarah rolled her eyes, "Because I need their advice on the perfect Hanukah/Christmas present for you."
My heart stopped, "Oh."
"How are we going to celebrate?" Sarah asked.
I tried to control my breathing, "However you want."
The two minute bell rang and Sarah glanced at me, "I gotta go, math's on the other side of the building."
Sarah walked away with a smile and I stood dumbstruck at her locker. What was I going to do? Christmas break started in five hours and Christmas was four days after that. Sarah already had an idea on what she was getting me, yet I had no clue what to get her.
Sam and Rory walked past me on their way to the library. I know because the three of us had free period this hour.
"Hey, wait up," I called.
Sam and Rory stopped and turned around.
"Hey man," Sam greeted me.
"Are you joining us today?" Rory asked.
"Yeah, I need your help, or at least some help to get me started," I said as I fell into step with them.
Sam gave me a weird look, "With what?"
"Get your head out of the gutter," I smacked him upside the head, "I need your help picking out a Christmas gift for Sarah."
"Isn't Christmas like four days away?" Rory said as we entered the library, "You should have boughten Sarah a gift days ago."
"Well, you know what Irish? We kinda got caught up in some drama," I whispered as the librarian gave us a look and we sat down, "And besides, Sarah just told me today that she still hasn't decided the perfect gift for me."
Sam and Rory looked at each other then back at me.
"Jewelry," Sam suggested.
"Back in Ireland, girls always look forward to getting a claddagh ring from their boyfriends on any special occasion," Rory said.
"What's that? And I don't even know if Sarah's Irish," I told Rory.
"Boys usually give a claddagh ring to their girlfriend to symbolize their love or even marriage," he informed me.
"Sarah and I aren't ready to get married yet, but the love thing might work," I considered the idea. It wasn't bad, definitely unique and something that I've never given before.
"What about my idea?" Sam asked.
I rolled my eyes, "Too traditional, Sarah's probably not getting me something that just anyone would give."
"A ring is jewelry," Sam pointed out.
"It's not the same," I said as I stood up, "I'm going to go look up where I can find one of those rings. Thanks Rory."

Rachel's Point of View
"What about that scrapbook you were working on for the past few weeks?" Kurt asked Sarah.
Santana, Finn, Sarah, Quinn, Brittany, Kurt and I were having lunch together in the corner of the lunchroom. Sarah had called us all last night in a panic because she still hasn't bought 'the perfect Hanukah/Christmas gift' yet for Noah.
"I have to get him something else!" Sarah objected with a wave of her hands, almost knocking down Finn's pop.
"Why are we all here anyways?" Santana asked Sarah. We all stared at her since none of us really did know why she called us.
"Finn is, or at least used to be, Puck's best friend, Rachel's Jewish, Quinn shares his baby, Santana you slept with him countless times, Brittany because well Santana, and Kurt is good at picking out presents," Sarah explained.
"Just because I am Jewish does not mean I have some sort of idea what Noah would like for Christmas," I explained to Sarah.
"We share a baby, not a mind," Quinn added.
"We don't really get along Sarah, you know that," Finn said gently.
"I'm gay and Puck's 100% straight," Kurt pointed out.
Sarah's face fell, "I just wanted to make our first holiday season perfect," she whispered.
Kurt pulled Sarah into a one-armed hug, "We could still all help you."
Sarah looked up at us hopefully. We all glanced at each other and shrugged.
"Why not, I've already picked out the perfect gift for everyone on my list," Santana said.
"I don't know if this helps, but he really likes football," Finn suggested.
Sarah tossed some of her sandwich at him, "Really? I had no idea."
I wiped off some of the spare mayo from Finn's shoulder, "What about some cologne?" I suggested.
Sarah looked at me, "Isn't that kind of insulting?"
I shrugged, "My dads get each other cologne all the time so they can make sure they smell good."
Sarah shook her head, "I don't know."
"You're screwed," Brittany said.
Sarah glared at Brittany, "I am not screwed, I will find the perfect gift to get Puck."
"I like your determination," I smiled at her.
"Chocolate," Santana suggested as she looked up from her nails.
Sarah smiled, "That's actually not a bad idea."
"Seriously, chocolate?" Kurt scoffed.
"He does like chocolate," Quinn nodded.
"Hey Sarah, remember when he stole all of your Valentine's Day chocolate and you cried?" Finn said.
Sarah rolled her eyes then started laughing, "That was you."
"Finn stole your Valentine's Day chocolate?" Kurt asked.
Sarah shook her head and grinned wickedly, "Puck stole Finn's chocolate."
The look on my boyfriend's face was priceless and I had to work really hard not to laugh, so instead, I settled on a grin.
"I hate you," Finn whispered towards his sister.
Sarah just smiled wider, "I know."
The bell rang so we all stood up.
"Thanks you guys, I know what I'm going to get Puck now," Sarah said to us before turning to leave and go to class.
Everyone departed with quiet goodbyes.
"Did you get my present yet?" I asked Finn as I grabbed his hand.
Finn stared down at me and smiled softly, "Maybe, I'm definitely ahead of Sarah on the shopping aspect."

Puck's Point of View
Everyone stood up to leave the auditorium after Rachel's performance, which was what I was going to do when I felt Sarah's hand tug me down.
"I wanted to apologize," she said softly.
"Don't worry about it, it's ok," I smiled at her.
Sarah shook her head, "No, it's not. I was the worst girlfriend ever for being even remotely happy that you weren't going to be in lunch."
"I understand, I actually did the same thing during my free period with Sam and Rory," I admitted.
A small smile formed on Sarah's face, "I still feel bad though."
I just shrugged, "Then make it up to me," I whispered in her ear.
Sarah laughed lightly before kissing me, softly at first then it quickly turned heated. She climbed onto my lap while never breaking the kiss, something that made me proud every time she did it.
I carefully stood up with Sarah connected to me and made my way to the stage where there was more room to lay down. I set Sarah down on some of Rachel's fake snow she had bought for her performance to us. We made out for a few minutes before Sarah's hands lifted my shirt over my head which I aloud.
Suddenly, someone cleared their throat behind us. I froze from my position of pulling Sarah's shirt off. The look of fear on Sarah's face probably matched mine. I slowly rolled off of her and sat up. Sarah did the same.
I groaned and sort of sighed in relief at the sight of Rachel Berry glaring at us with her hands on her hips in the middle of the auditorium.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as I reached over Sarah to grab my discarded shirt and put it on.
"I just came to collect all of my props when I realized they were being used as a new area to make love on," Rachel said as she made her way closer to us.
I heard Sarah growl and couldn't help but think of how hot it made her seem.
"Don't tell Finn," Sarah said quietly when Rachel was within range, "He's leaving us alone for now but if he finds out this, it will kill him."
Rachel tapped her fingers against the stage, "I want the most amazing gift from Finn this year. If you help him pick it out, I won't say anything."
Now it was my turn to growl, "My God Berry."
Rachel stared at me before looking back at Sarah, "I just want what you guys want, the perfect holiday season. Please, Sarah?"
Sarah nodded, "I'll even help him pick it out if you want."
Rachel smiled, "Thank you."
Sarah stood up, "Come on, let's go home," she said softly to me with her hand out.
I stood up next to her then gave Rachel a glare before grabbing Sarah's hand and leading her out to the parking lot.
"Are you really going to help Finn pick out a gift for Rachel?" I asked Sarah as we headed out the doors towards my truck.
"Yeah, I don't mind, plus it'll give me some time to put you on Finn's good side," Sarah said as she zipped up my jacket to her chin.
I tried to hide my grin at the fact that she was wearing my jacket. I was pretty mad when I saw her wearing Rory's jacket a few weeks ago, so I haven't let her give my jacket back yet.
"Do you have anything specific you want to do for Christmas?" I said after helping Sarah into the passenger seat of my truck.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we're together for it," Sarah smiled at me.
"I have to tell you something," I said as I looked away from Sarah, embarrassed that this was even happening, I'm the worst. Who does this?
The smile fell off of Sarah's face and instead tears formed in her eyes. She grabbed my hand, "It's ok, come on, whatever it is, it'll be ok."
I was so confused, I have no idea what she's thinking, "Everything's fine, well at least not for Beth, I didn't get her anything for Christmas and this is the first year that I could actually see her on it."
Sarah sighed in relief, "Thank God," she put her head in her hands, "I thought your mom hurt you again or something."
"No, no, it's just that I have no idea what to get her. I'm probably the worst dad in the world," I told her, "Who doesn't get their own kid something for Christmas?"
Sarah took a deep breath, "Ok, we can go to the baby store now."
I started up the car then turned down the road toward where I thought Babies R Us was.
Sarah laughed then put her hand on mine on the steering wheel, "Wrong way, turn around in that parking lot."
"Sorry, I've never gone there before," I said as I turned around.
"Really, I didn't notice," Sarah teased.
"Shut up," I mumbled.
Sarah laughed, "Did you get anything for Grace?"
I glanced over at her, "Date night, it's a pass to go to a movie and restaurant of her choice."
Sarah giggled again, "You are so soft."
"I will turn this car around if you don't stop making fun of me," I teased right back.
"Fine," Sarah laughed then turned around and stared out the window. I could hear her trying to stifle all of her giggles, but it wasn't working very well.
I smiled and tried not to laugh myself as I continued down the road towards the store.
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
"How's this?"
I looked up from the small overalls I was holding to see Sarah holding a light blue summer dress.
"She'd probably look good in it, but I don't know if getting clothes is the right thing for me to get her. That's probably more up Quinn's alley for a gift," I said.
Sarah nodded then put the dress back on the rack. I did the same with the overalls.
"Now what?" I asked as I ran my hand over my head.
"She likes her stuffed lamb, so maybe you could get her something like that," Sarah said softly as she rubbed her hands up my arms.
"Yeah, come on," I headed towards where I saw the stuffed animals originally.
There was a purple cat next to a brown dog that seemed like something Beth would like.
"One of these will do," I said as I picked them up.
Sarah stood behind me, "Yeah," she nodded, "I'd pick the dog, it reminds me of you."
I turned around and stared at her, "I remind you of a dog? That is so mean."
Sarah giggled, "That's not what I meant."
"Really?" I raised my eyebrows.
"You remind me of a dog because you're warm, my best friend, you always know when I'm scared, you can make me feel better by just looking at me, and you have a cute face," she smiled.
I laughed and set down the stuffed animals before pulling Sarah in and kissing her softly.
"And you give good kisses," Sarah whispered.
"Well then, maybe I can accept it that you consider me a dog," I whispered back.
Sarah shook her head, "You just have qualities that I can compare to a dog. I actually consider you as a man and the best darn boyfriend I could have asked for."
I smiled down at her, "A man, huh? Am I a hot man?"
"Definitely," Sarah laughed before pulling my neck down to kiss me.
"Excuse me."
We looked up to see one of the workers standing before us. I saw the blush rise up in Sarah's cheeks as the lady stared at us.
"I think it would be best if you two either buy something then leave or just leave right now," she suggested.
I grabbed the dog and nodded, "We'll be gone in a second," I grabbed Sarah's hand and walked past the employee to the check out.
Sarah groaned, "Oh my God."
I squeezed her hand, "Just forget about her, we can have some fun at your house in a little bit."
"Why my house?" Sarah asked as I placed the dog on the conveyor belt to be scanned.
"Because I don't have wrapping paper or any of that stuff at my house," I explained before handing over a ten dollar bill to the cashier.
Sarah smiled and nodded.
"Thanks," I said to the cashier as I grabbed the bag with Beth's present in it.
Sarah and I walked out to the truck then headed to her house.

A/N: Ok, so I hope the present ideas aren't bad, it took me a really long time to come up with them. Puck's gift to Sarah isn't actually that, well, sort of, you'll see next chapter. I did look up the claddagh ring online and I am Irish, so I know about it and what it means and stuff. If anyone has any other gift ideas, please don't be afraid to share them. Also, PLEASE REVIEW with any future chapter ideas, questions, comments, or concerns. Oh, and what should they all do for New Year's Eve?

Shout Outs: REDROBINS007 - It's ok, I understand :) And thanks for the idea, I hope the scrapbook idea is an ok replacement for a dvd. Thanks!
Ace5492 - Thank you!

Sneak Peak: I looked inside the small box then back at Puck. He had to have spent a lot on this and it was probably the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
They're celebrating Christmas next!
