A/N - Once again thanks so much for the faves, follows and also reviews on this story - it is honestly blowing me away all the support that this story is getting!
This chapter isn't really Puckleberry heavy, and please don't hate me for that and also what else you read in this chapter.
I can however assure you that there will definitely be more interaction between them in the coming chapters and maybe, we might see the start of something.
However all that happens here, is kind of just advancing the plot lines of the others a bit more and is still important to where the story is heading.
And there is also a two week time jump here, just so that the story can advance a little more and get to where I need it to be in the next couple of chapters!
Anyway, the next three chapters are pretty much done. I will be back with the next one hopefully by the same time next week. I however have a overnight camp with some of my Joey Scouts and will be pretty much dead to the world on Monday (my time) - as it will be an incredibly long Saturday day and night, followed by the Sunday as well, before back home.
That and the fact that there about 500 people sleeping in a tin shed, on a concrete floor (don't worry I have a self inflating mattress!) and where some people snore rather loudly and it's like a symphony in their, means it will certainly not be great for a night's sleep, even if I do take ear plugs.
So as usual, you all know what do to - review and if you haven't already please fave or follow the story!
Love to you all, KJ.
Wednesday after work, two weeks later; Sam had called all his friends to meet him at the coffee shop after they were done for the day.
He had just advised them that he had managed to obtain a booking for a national television commercial and was going to be shooting for it next week.
"So we can say we know a tv star, that's really awesome" said Brittany.
Sam laughed. "Yeah, that is if they even end up using it though".
"Still it's really awesome Sam. We're proud of you" said Mikki.
"Yeah and does this mean you might pay me back some of the money I have lent you over the past year?" asked Blaine.
Sam looked at him.
"If it books me more work, then yeah" replied Sam.
"I'm sure it will" replied Brittany, with a smile.
"Thanks Britts" said Sam, as one of the guys getting coffee at the counter, went to walk out and recognised Mikki and Rachel.
"Rachel, Mikki hi" said the dark haired doctor that they had seen at the hospital when Rachel had sprained her ankle.
Rachel and Mikki looked at him to see him and also the blonde haired doctor as well with him.
"Doctor Duvul, Doctor Sterling, hi" replied Rachel.
"It's Nick and that's Jeff" said the dark haired one.
"So how's the ankle now Rachel?" asked Jeff.
"Perfectly fine, thank you" she replied.
"That's good to hear" said Jeff.
Rachel nodded.
"So do you come here often" said Nick.
"Lame" said Blaine, hiding it behind a cough.
Mikki glared at him and then looked at Nick. "Pretty much all the time, can't say we've seen either of you here though".
"Hmm, first time. But got to say this coffee is pretty awesome, so we will most definitely be back again" said Jeff.
"And actually it's kind of great that we ran into you two" said Nick.
"Why's that?" asked Rachel.
"Are you busy on Friday night?" asked Nick.
"Hadn't made set plans, why?" asked Mikki.
"Well there's this fundraiser at the hospital and it would be kind of nice to bring dates for once" said Nick.
"Yeah Nicky is getting sick of me being his date. So if you two would like to come with us, then you'd be doing us both a huge favour" said Jeff.
Rachel looked at Mikki; and Mikki looked at Rachel, both giving each other a nod.
"Sure sounds like it could be fun" said Rachel.
"Great, and I hate to tell you but it will probably be really boring actually, but at least we will have someone besides each other to talk with" said Jeff, pointing to Nick.
Mikki laughed as did Rachel.
"So we can come by your place about six, and pick you up" said Nick.
"Umm sure" replied Mikki, grabbing her handbag and grabbing one of her work business cards out of it and a pen and writing her home address on it.
"And you live together right, you said something about that, the night at the ER" said Jeff.
"Yeah, we do" replied Rachel.
"Great, one easy stop then" said Jeff.
"Here you go" said Mikki, handing Nick the card with the address on.
He looked at the address and then turned it over to look at the other side.
"Mikayla Kapowski, Senior Copywriter; Sylvester Advertising Agency" read Nick.
"Wow you're in advertising" said Nick.
"Yeah, I am" she replied.
"That's really cool" replied Nick.
"Not as thrilling as being a doctor and saving lives, but I enjoy it" said Mikki.
"Yeah" replied Nick.
"Okay so, we will see you Friday night at six o'clock" said Jeff.
"Yeah" replied Rachel.
"What's the dress attire?" asked Mikki.
"Umm, black tie. Is that okay?" asked Nick.
"Yeah it fine, Rach and I will have something to wear" said Mikki.
"Great, well I'm sure you will both look fabulous and we will see you Friday" said Jeff.
Nick was just looking at Mikki, with a small smile on his face.
"Okay romeo, let's get going" said Jeff, with a laugh grabbing his friend by the arm.
"See you Friday" said Mikki, with a laugh.
Nick just nodded. "Bye" said Jeff.
"Bye" replied Rachel and the two guys left the coffee shop.
"Ohhh, you two got dates Friday night" said Brittany.
"And absolutely nothing at all to wear" said Mikki.
"Well we go shopping tomorrow after work and find you some gorgeous dresses to go along with the cute doctors" said Brittany.
"They are kind of cute right" said Mikki.
"Totally, and I think the dark hair guy has a thing for you Mik" said Brittany.
Mikki laughed and blushed slightly.
"If he works at the hospital he should consider getting his head examined then" said Blaine.
Mikki scrunched up a paper napkin and threw it at him.
"And you should consider shutting your mouth before I do it for you permanently" said Mikki.
"Can we possibly go one day without one of you making a snide remark to one another?" asked Sam.
"No" replied Blaine and Mikki in unison.
The others laughed at their joint remark, and Mikki who looked at Blaine who shrugged his shoulders and she just shook her head.
The six of them finished off their coffees not longer after and once they paid Kurt, including tips, left the shop for home.

Friday night, Mikki and Rachel were in their rooms getting ready. Brittany had come over to make sure they looked okay and was in the process of helping the two of them.
There was a knock at the apartment door and Brittany walked out of Rachel's room and went over to the door and opened it.
"Oh hello" said Jeff, when he saw her.
Nick looked at the card that he had with the address on.
"Umm, this is the right apartment for Mikki and Rachel?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm their friend Brittany, I was at the coffee shop the other day" said Brittany.
"Right, yes I remember now" said Jeff.
"Mik and Rach, are just getting ready. Come on in" said Brittany holding the door open.
"Thanks" replied Nick and the two of them walked in and Brittany closed the door.
"Mik, Rach, the guys are here" she yelled.
"Two secs" yelled back Mikki.
"Okay" replied Brittany.
"So, you don't have any cute single doctor friends do you?" asked Brittany.
"No, sorry" replied Jeff.
"Hmm, too bad" replied Brittany.
Mikki and Rachel came out of Rachel's room and walked over to them.
"Wow, you both look amazing" said Jeff, when he saw them.
"Thanks" replied Rachel.
"So we were thinking that Rachel I would accompany you and Mikki you could accompany Nick" said Jeff.
Rachel and Mikki looked at one another.
"That's fine with us" replied Mikki.
"Okay great" said Nick, holding his out to Mikki. "Shall we then"
"We shall" replied Mikki, taking Nick's hand.
"Rachel" said Jeff, holding out his hand.
Rachel took his hand and laughed. "Sure" she replied.
"Let's go then" said Mikki, opening the door, and the four of them walked out.
Brittany also walked out also, and Rachel closed the door behind her.
"I expect you to have them home at a decent time now" said Brittany.
Mikki and Rachel looked at her and laughed and Jeff and Nick looked at her slightly confused.
"Kidding, I'm just going to go and hang with the guys, have fun" said Brittany, going over to the apartment opposite in the hall, to knock on the door.
However as if on cue, before Brittany could knock the door was opened by Blaine.
"I heard you guys out here" he said, looking at Brittany and then at Mikki and Rachel and their dates for the evening.
"We're just leaving" said Rachel.
Blaine nodded at looked at the two guys.
"You were at the coffee shop the other day as well" said Jeff.
"Yeah, I'm friends with them" replied Blaine.
"That's really nice, being able to be friends with the people you live across the hall from. I wouldn't even know anyone in my building at all" said Nick.
"Well you don't strike me as the friendly type of guy" said Blaine.
Mikki glared at him and Blaine smiled at her in return.
"Okay, let's go shall we" said Rachel, trying to stop a full out war of words starting between Mikki and Blaine.
"Yes, lets" said Mikki.
"Have fun, call me tomorrow" said Brittany.
"I will" replied Mikki.
"See You Britts" said Rachel.
"Bye Rachey" she replied.
Mikki and Rachel left with their dates for the night and Brittany looked at Blaine.
"What the hell is your problem" she said.
"Problem, I got no problems" replied Blaine.
"Really, are you sure about that because it looks to me as if you're jealous maybe" said Brittany.
"Okay for the last time ever, I do not like Mikki" said Blaine.
"You sure about that, because you looked pretty much ready to murder those guys" said Brittany.
"I just think that they look like complete tools that all and think both Mikki and Rachel can do so much better" said Blaine.
"Hmm, yeah that's what it is" said Brittany, with a laugh.
"Are you wanting to hang out here tonight or not Britts, because Sam is on his way with pizza and if you're not here then it means more for him and me" said Blaine.
"Of course I do, I don't have a date tonight and it's not like I can go and hang out at Puck's since he is at Lamaze class with Santana and Dani" replied Brittany.
"Yeah, I don't pity him one bit. Dealing with Santana normally is bad enough, but her pregnant. No thanks" said Blaine.
Brittany laughed. "Yeah".
"Come on in, we'll decide on a movie before Sam gets home with the pizza or otherwise we're going to be made to watch Avatar again" said Blaine.
"Anything but that" replied Brittany with a laugh and entered the apartment.
The two of the going to choose a movie before Sam got back there with the pizza.

Puck was already sitting in the room where the Lamaze class was to be held, with all the happy heterosexual couples, waiting for Santana and Dani.
"Sorry, we're late" said Santana, coming over to him with Dani close behind her.
"That's okay, you're here. That's the important thing" said Puck.
"Yeah I still don't get why we have to do this though, I mean it's not like I don't know how to breathe, I do it every day already" said Santana.
"Sweetie, it's important for both you and our baby, it means less stress when this little one is born" said Dani, placing her hand on Santana's rapidly growing stomach.
"Okay look I am fine with you and Santana, raising this baby for the most part Danielle, but can you please stop referring to it as your baby. It is in no way any part of you" said Puck.
"Don't make me hurt you Puckerman" said Santana.
"Come on Santana, give me a little credit here huh. It kind of really hurts that she keeps referring to our son or daughter as hers" said Puck.
"Well what am I meant to refer to it as Puck" said Dani.
"Oh I don't know your girlfriend's child, but not yours" said Puck.
"You're an arse Puckerman, I can see why Santana doesn't want to be with you anymore" said Dani.
Puck laughed at her. "That and she's a lesbian but that's the part you like the most, huh".
"Guys, enough. You're both stressing the hell out of me. Can we for the sake of this one, just all get along" said Santana.
"Of course sweetie" said Dani, kissing her on the cheek.
"So thankful I didn't eat before I came here tonight, because seriously wanting to vomit here" said Puck.
"Puck really" said Santana and he just looked at her in reply and shrugged his shoulders.
"Good, looks like everyone is now here, so we'll begin with the video" said the Lamaze instructor.
All the couples took their positions up on their floor and the instructor began the video for them to watch.

The next morning, Nick walked out of Mikki's room and went to head over to the bathroom, and saw Blaine sitting at the kitchen table reading the mornings paper as well as having some cereal.
"Ohh umm, hello" said Nick.
Blaine looked over at him. "Uh hi" he replied.
"Blaine right" said Nick.
"Yeah" replied Blaine.
"I'm umm, just going to bathroom" said Nick, pointing in the direction of it.
"Do what you like it doesn't bother me" replied Blaine.
Nick just nodded and walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind himself.
Blaine glanced towards Mikki's room in the apartment and shook his head, turning back to the paper and cereal he was eating.
"Seriously you don't have food in your own apartment?" asked Mikki, walking out of her bedroom.
"I have to go shopping today, so no" replied Blaine, looking at her.
"Well maybe you can buy me some more cereal whilst you're out since you seem to eat most of mine" said Mikki, grabbing a bowl from the shelf.
"Hmm yeah this one?" asked Blaine, pointing the cereal box as Mikki sat down.
"Yeah, that or Captain Crunch" she replied.
"Captain Crunch, really?" asked Blaine with a laugh.
"I like it once in a while" she replied, pouring some of the Reese's Puffs in to her bowl.
Blaine shook his head. "Sometimes you really surprise me".
"Well a girl has to keep some mystery to them, so don't be expecting to know all my secrets" said Mikki as Nick came out of the bathroom.
Mikki looked at him as did Blaine.
"Breakfast?" asked Mikki.
"Umm, no I got to go, I have to go home, change and then get to the hospital for work" said Nick.
"Oh okay then" said Mikki, standing up from the table.
"But we can see each other again in a few days, when I have some spare time" said Nick.
Mikki walked over to him.
"Yeah, I'd like that" she replied.
Nick nodded. "I had a really great time last night".
"Me too" replied Mikki, kissing him.
"So I should really get going" said Nick, breaking the kiss.
"Okay, well have a great time at work" said Mikki, walking over to the door of the apartment with him.
"Bye" said Mikki, kissing him again.
"Yeah bye" replied Nick and Mikki opened the door.
Nick left the apartment and she walked back over to the table and sat down again.
"I can't believe you put out on the first date, wow" said Blaine.
Mikki looked at him.
"Okay I don't see how it's any business but my own, as to what I do in my private life and especially my sex life" said Mikki.
Blaine looked at her. "No you're right that is definitely your own business. However if you think he's going to be calling you for another date, you're kind of dreaming there".
"Oh is that what you do, have sex with girls first date, say you will call them and never do?" asked Mikki.
"No" replied Blaine.
Mikki looked at him.
"I would be actually really turned off by a girl who said she was interested in having sex after the first date" said Blaine.
"Dare I ask why would you be turned off by it?" asked Mikki.
"Because, you hardly know one another, there is no emotional connection there and I honestly can't be with a person just physically. There has to be some kind of other connection there as well" said Blaine.
"Hmm if you ask me, sometimes good sex is just good sex. And sometimes sex without emotions involved is even better" said Mikki.
Blaine just looked at her. "Yeah I got to go" said Blaine, standing from the chair.
"Okay. Did I say something to offend you" said Mikki.
"No, you didn't. I just got to go and get some groceries" said Blaine.
Mikki nodded.
"I'll get you some Captain Crunch cereal whilst I'm there" said Blaine.
"Thank you" replied Mikki.
Blaine went to leave the apartment just as Rachel was exiting her bedroom.
"Morning Blaine" she said.
"Oh hey Rach" he replied.
Rachel smiled at him.
"Bye" he said and opened the apartment door and left.
"What's with him?" asked Rachel going over to the fridge and getting her soy milk out.
"Who knows, it's Blaine" said Mikki.
Rachel laughed and sat down at the table, grabbing the muesli before she did from the shelf along with a bowl.
"I think however he thinks I am a slut since I slept with Nick last night" said Mikki.
Rachel looked at her roommate. "You slept with him?" she asked.
Mikki nodded. "Yeah and Blaine was here eating our food, when he left this morning".
"Wow, Jeff and I wondered where the two of you went off too" said Rachel.
"We went and got some coffee, and then came back here" said Mikki.
Rachel nodded.
"Was I home when you came in?" she asked.
Mikki nodded. "Yeah your bag was on the couch so you were" said Mikki.
"Well I didn't hear anything, I was honestly dead to the world" said Rachel.
Mikki laughed. "Jeff's not in there is he, in your room?" asked Mikki.
"No, he's a nice guy and all. Really cute, but I just don't think I can do a relationship right now" said Rachel.
"Yeah, I get you" said Mikki.
Rachel nodded.
"Do you that it makes me a slut sleeping with a guy on the first date?" asked Mikki.
"No" replied Rachel.
Mikki looked at her. "I get the feeling Blaine thinks it does".
"And you care what he thinks?" asked Rachel.
"Well he is a friend, so kind of" said Mikki.
"Are you sure that is all he is?" asked Rachel.
Mikki looked at her. "Meaning?".
"Never mind" said Rachel.
"I do not like Blaine, okay" she replied.
"I didn't say that" replied Rachel.
"But it's what you're thinking" replied Mikki.
"It's just if you didn't like him, you wouldn't be so worried about what he thinks" said Rachel.
"I'm not" replied Mikki, standing and going over to the dishwasher with her bowl and putting it in there.
Rachel just looked at her roommate.
"If Blaine brings the groceries back here that he owes us, tell him thanks. I got to get to work and meet some of the guys to work on a presentation for next week" said Mikki.
"It's a Saturday though" said Rachel.
"Hmm, tell that to Sue. Apparently advertising doesn't rest" said Mikki.
"Okay, well have fun" replied Rachel.
Mikki nodded and headed back to her bedroom, leaving Rachel to finish her breakfast and enjoy her day of rest.
End Note:
Please don't kill me for what Mikki did - it's kind of neccessary for the progression of the story.
And also don't kill me for having Rachel go out with Jeff - but I guess you can all be happy with the fact that she did say she isn't ready for a relationship yet. So the Puckleberry door is still open.
And I guess now it's kind of obvious who Mikki's boss at the advertising agency is - it is of course none other than Sue Sylvester, and she will pop up in the story in person a little later on as well - in a twist that is rather important in sort of following with the FRIENDS plot lines.
Also if anyone knows of any good Puckleberry stories that I maybe should read, because I do need some more stories to read on here - then please let me know in a PM.
Always love reading other peoples work - after all we all may be non professional writers but we do share the same love of writing!
Until next time,
KJ xxx
