RACHEL
Thank God Mercedes and Mike each had September birthdays. In fact, both of them had just scarcely finished their GDL. Each arrived at Finn's in a borrowed family vehicle; Mercedes in a station wagon, Mike in a minivan. They barely managed to 分裂, 拆分 into each car-- they were all 表演 like four year-olds; Kurt refusing to be anywhere but with Mercedes, Artie and Tina and Brittany and Santana absolutely refusing to be separated, etcetera. Finally Matt sketched out an arrangement. The following were to be in Mercedes wagon: Kurt (who promptly claimed shotgun), Artie (who's wheelchair just managed to squeeze in the trunk), Tina, and Finn. Rachel had been looking 前锋, 期待 to a long car ride with him, but she was also pleased because she knew he only agreed to because he knew none of the others would volunteer and he didn't want to see any of the four's feelings hurt.
So that left Rachel, Puck, Quinn, Santana, Brittany, and Matt to squeeze into Mike's van. Matt sat in front with Mike, Santana and Brittany took to the 下一个 two seats where they immediately started describing each outfit the two had brought along with them, which left Rachel to sit awkwardly between Puck and Quinn in the back seat. For six hours. Ohhhh boy.
After straightening out directions, checking and re-checking phone batteries, frantic searching of CDs in bags, a screech from Santana when she exclaimed out loud she forgot her bra to match her thong, tears from Tina when she realized her 粉, 粉色 and black arm warmers weren't packed, they were off. Rachel sat in silence for a 分钟 或者 two, then decided she better start up conversation now 或者 the whole ride was lost.
"So, Quinn. How's the life of a pregnant woman going?"
"So-so."
"Mmmm."
And that's pretty much how the 下一个 two and a half hours were spent before Brittany started whining about her liver.
"Your bladder, Brit." Mike corrected her. While waiting for Brittany to finish in the facilities, Rachel turned to Puck.
"You've been quiet." He raised one eyebrow.
"I thought everyone was quiet was eight in the morning, until I met you." Rachel grinned. "Seriously. I'm so conked in the morning; I don't know understand how others find the energy."
"Three cups of coffee with breakfast, a travel mug, and thermos always help." she told him. "Care for any?" she asked, offering her cup.
"You keep that away. I hate coffee." Rachel gaped at him. "It's not so weird. It's 苦 and gross and bland and tasteless even when 你 add eighteen spoonfuls of sugar to them." Rachel raised an eyebrow. "I know from experience." she giggled. A scoffing noise of disgust sounded from the other side of Rachel.
"God, why don't 你 just ask me to sit in the front so 你 two can have it out on the backseat?" Both turned to face Quinn. Rachel a bit sheepishly. She knew her face was beet red. Puck however, groaned loudly.
"Give it a rest, Quinn, please? Just this once, be quiet and not act like a selfish 婊子, 子 who has no personality besides it?" Quinn scowled.
"Well, 你 two are obviously so sexually depraved it's almost insulting to sit 下一个 to you. And you're both dying for a bit rough and tumble, just thought I'd help with a bit of prodding," she gave Rachel a quick once-over. "Although with you, I think a push might be 更多 helpful than a prod." At that, Puck's mouth seemed to turn to stone it hardened so much.
"Take that back." he told her.
"What? 或者 you're gonna glare me down? Please, Puckerman. When did 你 become so pitiful?"
"About the time 你 became so vile." Rachel had to give him 支持 for choice of words, but she stopped him.
"Noah." she warned him quietly. She turned towards Quinn. "I'm really sorry Quinn, I know you're under stress, and the baby, hormones, I know, so please, don't listen to anything he says--"
"You're defending her?! After what she 说 to you?! God, Rachel, do 你 have any self-confidence at all?" Rachel glared at him.
"Mike? Is there a rest stop anywhere near here?"
"Uh, yeah, actually, about two 分钟 away."
"Thanks." She noticed Matt taking out his cell phone to text the news to the other car. The 下一个 few 分钟 were spent in complete silence; even Brittany and Santana didn't speak. When they pulled up, Rachel unbuckled immediately and stalked out of the car and to the back of the building. Puck followed.
"Why are 你 being so mean to her Noah?" she started, rounding on him once they were out of eyesight of the others. "You know how crappy she's gotta feel. I've taken health class, and so have you." Puck rolled his eyes.
"Come on Rachel, that is such a lame 屁股 excuse. She'd still be saying that stuff to 你 even if she wasn't pregnant."
"But just because she broke your 心 two months 以前 doesn't mean 你 have to harp on her for every wrong thing she says!" Puck paused.
"Broke my heart? What are 你 talking about?"
"Well 你 know, there was that guy, Jason, I think his name was, who she met with a couple of times because she was feeling lonely, and they never did anything, but then 你 found out and got pissed and that's why 你 guys broke up! Why do I need to explain this to you?" she questioned. Puck raised both eyebrows in astonishment.
"Well, for one, because that never happened." This time, Rachel paused.
"Wait, what?"
"It never happened. I don't know what bizarre ideas are being put into your head, Rache, but that one sure ain't true-- what?" Rachel's face had fallen and her eyes were brimming with tears. "What is it?"
"On Noah," she 说 in barely 更多 than a whisper, "She made it up. All of it. And I just-- I believed it. Oh God. Just to make 你 the bad guy in all of this." She looked up at him, her eyes bright. "I'm so sorry."
His face set, he grimaced at her and said, "It's okay. It wasn't your fault, Rachel." He reached out to awkwardly pat her shoulder. Just as his hand was retracting Rachel snatched it so her small hand barely held his large one. And before he could even react, she reached up and kissed him. He kissed her back, wrapping his arms around her small back and pulling her closer. She reached up and encased her arms around his neck, almost not conscious of what she was doing. Her hands caressed the back end of his mohawk between her fingers. His fingers hardly slipped under the hem of her 衬衫 and she could feel the smallest touch of his warms hands on her hips. And the only thing she could feel was him and all she wanted to feel was him and-- she thought of Finn. And she broke away from Noah. And she sank onto the wet 草 so she sat on her knees. She held her face in her hands tears again pricked her eyes. Noah wrapped one arm around her, shushing her and squeezing her shoulders. He didn't need to ask why she was crying. She wished he would stop comforting her; she didn't deserve such comfort and 爱情 after doing the opposite of good. But then, if 接吻 Noah had been bad, why had it felt so good? So much better than her goodbye 吻乐队（Kiss） with Finn before departing to their different cars.
A 分钟 later Noah suggested they go back in the side entrance and come out of the store so the others wouldn't worry. Rachel agreed, nodding slowly. She wiped her eyes and sniffed loudly. Her nose was completely clogged. In took her a few tries to get completely clean, and she couldn't help but feel humiliated as she felt Noah's eyes watching her. He walked 下一个 to her, but far away enough so they wouldn't touch. When they got back into the car, they sat on either side of Quinn.

PUCK
Why was Puck always the outsider? There was the happy couple, and there was Puck. Couldn't, just for once, he be the one with the girl? The girl whom he loved and who loved him back despite doing stupid things in past like 吻乐队（Kiss） her while she had a boyfriend. Except he hadn't. Kissed her. It had been Rachel who had kissed him. And Rachel who had broken it up. Where did it leave him?
***
RACHEL
Rachel was fickle. She wanted chocolate, then she wanted vanilla. Pepperoni on that pizza? Make it mushrooms. Wearing the purple sweater? Change into pink. Dating Finn? Wants to 日期 Noah.
She did, right? Want to 日期 Noah? She didn't know the answer. But she couldn't 日期 Finn either.

PUCK
由 one o'clock they were arriving in New York. Everyone stopped at a 餐车, 晚餐, 小餐馆 for lunch, and Rachel and Puck ignored each other completely. Rachel sat with Finn, but wasn't too handsy. Puck sat with Tina, animatedly discussing her latest hair color, dark purple. Honestly he wasn't listening to half the things she was telling him about hair dye. All he wanted to do was be done with this godforsaken trip and be back 首页 where he can confine himself to him room and just be alone with his thoughts and his guitar.
At a quarter to two they piled back into the 面包车, 范 and began the last leg of the drive. Puck took to staring out the window, as did Rachel; he noticed when he snuck glances at her. Quinn, content with the silence, listened to her iPod. At two-thirty traffic started getting ugly.
"It's a blessing in disguise," Mike told the car at large. "We're almost there." Brittany encouraged the license plate game, which the front four played. Quinn napped, and Puck and Rachel stayed content with viewing the dull cars on either side of them for another hour. Finally, finally, they were in the city, and Puck actually had things to look at. He examined people on the sidewalks, tiny tourist ships and cafes, and watched for the big landmarks as well. Rachel nearly passed out when they passed a big ad for Wicked.
"It'd be a dream come true if I could go!" she 说 excitedly. "You know, actually in New York..." Puck didn't know, but he took her word for it. She was so cute when she was excited, he ate it up like a Thanksgiving dinner.
由 four-thirty they were actually at their hotel. Puck was relieved. His butt actually ached from sitting in the car backseat for so long. He longed to stand. Mercedes and her crew pulled into the 车库 across the 街, 街道 after them, and parked one over from there's. Everyone got out, chattering excitedly and exclaiming over all the sights they saw. Kurt actually started talking to Puck about all the designer shops he had noticed that he had to check out sometime-- he had taken cell phone pictures of every one. Twenty-six in all. Finn was going on and on to Rachel about an old man going down the 街, 街道 on rollerblades; he seemed to find it the most intriguing and hilarious thing he had ever seen. Puck helped lift Artie's wheelchair down and Artie, sheepishly helped 由 Tina, got in. They made it to the hotel lobby, which was small and polished and vintage looking. But homey, and definitely cheap. Rachel checked them all in; she had managed to get three rooms between the twelve of them. Mercedes, Tina, Kurt, and Artie quickly claimed one. Apparently Artie was tough if he could share a room with three girls, Puck thought.
Santana and Brittany claimed another room for them and their boyfriends. Leaving the last room to Finn, Quinn, Rachel, and Puck. He could already smell the fun he would be having here...

RACHEL
Rachel squirted her Crest toothpaste onto her sparkled 粉, 粉色 brush and started scrubbing fiercely while Quinn brushed her hair with one hundred strokes. They hadn't spoke since the incident in the car. Quinn finished and set down her brush, then startled Rachel with a question, "Are 你 in 爱情 with Puck?"
Rachel choked on her toothpaste. She half gagged, half spit, leaning over the sink. Quinn didn't help 由 pounding her on the back a few times. She croaked, "What? Wh-why?" Quinn rolled her eyes.
"No why, small-minded fool. It's just a yes 或者 no question." Rachel rinsed her mouth out then wiped it with a washcloth.
"Why would I tell you? You'd just go blabbing."
"I wouldn't. Trust me, this is pure curiosity." Rachel pondered, then slowly began to answer.
***
PUCK
"It changes." Puck heard her Rachel's voice through the door of the bathroom. Finn was downstairs getting ice. He didn't listen in to hear anything particular; he just wanted to hear Rachel's voice mostly.
"Sometimes he annoys the heck outta me. He can be a total asshole, a complete jerk. I wish he could just disappear from my life, poof, he's gone. He complicates everything. Sometimes I wish that could happen." Realization crept into him and Puck almost stopped listening, but then the golden word left Rachel's lips.
"But sometimes... sometimes I miss him so much it hurts me inside. Like a big gaping hole in my chest. Which sounds cheesy, and stupid, but it's true. I want him to come and hold me, and never leave again. I wish he would 吻乐队（Kiss） me and hold my hand and never stop. I want it to be just us, with no one else in the world. I want him to make me laugh, let me cry when I have to, 显示 me things I don't know anything about. I want him to sing to me and I want to sing to him. I want to be with him so badly; I'd give anything to do it." For one damn 秒 Puck thought he felt tears in his eyes. He felt his 心 expanding. Dammit, dammit, dammit. Why, Rachel, why? Why do she have to make him feel like such a sissy?
"And the funny thing? It's almost as if it came out of nowhere. I mean, we went out for a short, very short, time a couple of months ago, but then a while later I'm with Finn and I'm perfectly content. And then... I find myself forgiving him. 你 know, for being the father of your baby. It shouldn't have affected me so much but it did. I was hurt he lied about it. And when I forgave him for it, it's like this veil is lifted from my eyes, and all I see is him. His positives and his negatives, and I 爱情 him for all of it." There was a pause.
"Wow, Berry. Just... wow." What-- oh, Quinn. Woah. Quinn had heard all of that too. The whole time it seemed Rachel had been addressing him personally. Suddenly he heard footsteps coming down the hall and Puck hurriedly jumped back on one of the beds and switched on the TV. Finn came in, ice in hand.
"Hey man," he said, setting in down. "Anything interesting?"
"Nope," Puck answered, taking a swig of his Red Bull. "Not that'd interest 你 anyway."
