"Damn" 23 year-old Quinn Fabray said as her car broke down in the middle of the highway in Lima, Ohio. "I came back here and this welcomes me." She sighed and got out of her Pink Camaro. It was Vintage, but she liked it. After five long years in LA (She studied Film studies and was also a part-time model), she was finally back in Lima. Her long (now a bit curly) blonde hair fluttered in the wind. She looked around to see if there was a gasoline station or a vulcanizing shop when she heard a familiar voice calling her name.
"Quinn?"
Quinn looked back and saw him.
Noah Puckerman.
Quinn felt like there were butterflies in her stomach. Like she was in high-school once more.
Let's backtrack a bit, shall we?
Back when Quinn was in sophomore year of High School and was still with Finn, something happened between her and Puck and she got pregnant with Beth, and then he told her he loves her but they stopped talking for a year...And then during her last year in High School, they started talking again, bonding with Beth (Shelby came back for a while and they got to meet Beth, their daughter) and eventually became a couple. But after graduation, Quinn had to go to LA and Puck had to stay in Lima because he had back subjects and had to finish them, so they broke up. Quinn was heartbroken but she didn't talk about it to anyone. She had to move on.
And now Puck was here. Well, of course she came back for a reunion with her fellow Glee club members but she didn't expect to see Puck now.
"Puck," She muttered.
Puck's Mohawk was still there but he now wore glasses and he looked...mature. They both were.
"Hey," Puck said, "Wow...you're...back."
"Yeah, the reunion," She said.
"I know, I haven't forgotten," He said, "It's just...it's...good to see you."
She smiled nervously, "It's good to see you too."
"So what are you doing here? I mean, the highway..."
"Car broke down."
"Oh lucky you."
"Excuse me?"
"Sorry," He grinned, "I've a car repair shop. Well, me and Finn, actually." He said, pointing to the shop behind him. Quinn realized it was Burt Hummel's tire shop. "Oh isn't that Kurt's dad's?"
"Yep," Puck said, "But Burt wanted to retire, spend more time with Finn's mom so they got us instead."
"Wow," Quinn said, "You've been doing this for a while?"
"Yeah, some two, three years now."
"That's great."
"Not as great as being a model in LA." Puck smiled.
Quinn laughed, "It's not as great as you think."
He smiled, "Come on. I shall work on your car. Finn's meeting Rachel at the airport, you know, she's comin direct from Broadway, and so it Kurt...and my other boys are on a day-off."
"Oh, no, you don't have to..."
"I want to."
"Okay then..."

"There, it's all good," Puck said, coming under Quinn's car. They were inside the garage. Puck wiped his hands on his pants and sat down beside Quinn, "Your radiator was broken but it's fine now. You're ready to go."
