Chapter 3

Rachel's House

Rachel's POV

"Oh my Gucci, you should be lucky diva that I got you a dress from Santana's wardrobe, its like death of the toddlers and grannies clothes in there! We HAVE to go shopping before your next date with puckerman!" Kurt's in my house going through my closet looking for anything suitable to wear so I don't have to wear the dress from Santana.

"KURT! We haven't even had our first date yet! We are not going out yet either, so we might not have a second date…" I start to frown at that thought, maybe Noah will think that we shouldn't date and we would be better off as friends,

"Look rach, he is crazy about you. Believe me there will be more than one date, you guys are going to be so cute together. And i'm glad he eventually gained up the courage to ask you out because otherwise the glee club would have stepped in because it's really obvious that you like each other. Puckleberry, so cute" he then adds as an afterthought "Not as cute as Klaine though." I start to laugh at that and then Kurt starts to glare at me. When I finally calm down I say,

"Sorry Kurt, but can I get ready now. Noah is picking me up in about two hours!"

"Oh my Gucci-" The doorbell rings and Kurt goes to answer it. When he comes back upstairs a minute later he is followed by Mercedes, Tina, Santana, Brittany and Quinn.

"Diva, don't look so surprised to see us, you have a date with puckerman. You couldn't leave it all down to Kurt, could you." Mercedes walks towards me and puts her hands on my shoulders with a lot of weight which makes me sit in the chair behind me and not standing.

"Okay, This is how its going to go down, Quinn, Tina and Mercedes do hair, Me, Brittany and Santana will do makeup. But first we will all figure out outfit! Okay Rachel. Shower…NOW!" I run in the shower, Kurt's scary when there are clothes involved.

When I get out of the shower with a towel round me and come out of the bathroom to the others, I don't realise but they can now see my amazing figure (which my dance classes have helped build) I turn around from getting my underwear from my draw and find that all the girls and Kurt are staring at me open-mouthed. I start to feel a little uncomfortable so I put my arms around the towel and try to show im uncomfortable, Doesn't work.

"Holy shit Rach! Your figure…OH MY GOD! Amazing idea! You have to come on the Cheerios, if you can have a figure like that you must be able to do some amazing choreography for your dancing or whatever you do. Why didn't we think of you before? my squad would love you. And more importantly you can cheer on Puck at games." Santana says, Brittany starts jumping up and down at the thought of me becoming a cheerio, and the others all just start getting my stuff ready but smiling at the thought of it too. (Kurt is my Best friend, Mercedes and Tina are my friends but we are getting closer and Santana, Brittany and Quinn are becoming my friends.)

"Umm…Thanks I guess? Santana I will consider your offer of joining the cheerio's another time because now I have more important things on my mind, Can I change into the outfit now?" Kurt hands me the outfit and i go back into the bathroom to get changed.

When I come out of the bathroom they all look at me wide-eyed. I am wearing a light pink skater dress with a flower pattern, pink wedges, pink bangles and my R necklace with a heart around it" Ray you look so pretty!" Brittany says,

"Holy mother of god you can keep that dress Ray, you look way better than I ever will in that dress!" Santana says

"You look beautiful" Tina says wiping away a tear

"It's not my wedding Tina, there is no need to cry!" I say as I stand in front of a mirror and look at myself and my friends in it. "Diva yes there is, you look phenomenal!" Mercedes says.

"Well thanks guys but im sure you need to do my makeup and hair, right?" They all start to rush and get me looking ready for my first date with Noah. When they are finished my hair is curled and my makeup is natural and not over done but enough.

No-ones POV

Downstairs

When the doorbell rings the other girls rush downstairs to open it, Noah stands outside the door with flowers in his hands. Puck walks into the house, "She will be down in a minute!" Quinn says.

Upstairs

"You ready diva?" Kurt says

"Nervous, but yes ready" Kurt takes Rachel's hand and leads her to the hallway.

"When im downstairs and say 'here she comes' you need to walk down the stairs slowly okay?" Rachel nods and Kurt walks down the stairs.

Downstairs

"Kurt where is my girl?" Puck says as he see's Kurt walking down the stairs.

"Stop being so impatient we are building up the anticipation!" Kurt walks down the last few steps and turns back towards the stairs "Okay here she comes" And Rachel starts to walk down the stairs, when puck see's her , a grin comes to his face and he steps forward to take her hand as she walks down the last few steps. When Rachel is down all the steps puck gives her the flowers and she smells them "Thank you Noah they are beautiful" Rachel says,

"Not as beautiful as you Rach" The others all 'awww' and Rachel starts to blush, Puck smirks when he see's Rachel's blush. "You ready?" He says

"Yes, Can you guys put these in water…Thanks" Rachel says as she pushes the flowers into Quinn. Puck re-takes Rachel's hand and leads her out of the house to his truck.
