2x10: Into The Groove

Episode: Synopsis: Kurt books Pamela Landsbury's first gig, but finds himself becoming attracted to Elliot-while he's still in a committed relationship with Blaine. Puck and Rachel begin spending more time together and Puck begins to fall for her, causing Finn to be furious.

It was one of Rachel's favorite times of the day at the Spotlight Diner: closing time. It was the moment that she anticipated the most, feeling the rush come over her that another day was ending. Closing time was also the appropriate time for getting a kiss every now and then from Finn, since they weren't allowed to have PDA at work. Rachel turned the closed sign on the door, turning around as she spotted Finn filling up the sugar bowls for tomorrow's morning rush. Rachel didn't want to leave Finn all by himself, so she decided to help him with his work. Rachel sat in the booth across from him, taking one of the sugar bowls and filling it up to the top, observing if she was pouring perfect amounts every time. Finn shot an appreciative glance towards her, focusing on his work as he too was attempting to be a perfectionist.

"So, it's closing time." Rachel said as if it was nothing, causing Finn to laugh slightly. "You know what that means, right?" Rachel leaned over from her side of the booth and pressed a kiss to Finn's lips. Finn savored every moment of the kiss, turning the kiss more passionate than he had ever dreamed. Rachel broke the kiss slightly, nudging her nose on his. "So now that we're done with work we could possibly go home and cuddle, maybe watch a movie, maybe possibly do things that aren't exactly appropriate." Rachel bit her lower lip as Finn pressed another kiss to Rachel's lips.

"You know that any other day I would not decline you on that offer," Finn's face turned apologetic. "But I have to run to the school and get sheet music to start preparing for Regionals. Regionals are after Valentine's Day and I just want us to be prepared. I want us to go in there and take on the competition. Besides, I found that they do Regionals a little differently in college."

"How so?" Rachel wondered. Finn went into his pocket and took out his phone, showing a performance from the winning show choir at Regionals last season.

"Apparently the theme for Regionals every year is Theatricality." Finn said. "So that means I need to come up with some musical numbers that also involve theatrics. Maybe even props, which is something Mr. Schue wouldn't exactly enjoy."

"That's true." Rachel agreed. "So you're going to be cooped up in our bedroom working on sheet music and theatricality tactics for Regionals? Oh how sexy." Rachel gave Finn another kiss, her face turning sultry. "I can't believe you're passing up an opportunity to tap this…"

"Oh trust me, Rachel." Finn chuckled. "I'm not passing up the opportunity." Finn decided it was time to change the subject, noticing that Rachel was playing with one of the buttons on his shirt. "So how was your rehearsal for Funny Girl the other day? Did that guy that you said was giving you problems give you a hard time?"

"As a matter of fact, no." Rachel seemed surprised. "He looked like he was almost scared to even make eye contact with me. Mr. Campion yelled at him because he missed his cue multiple times. It was actually quite entertaining." Rachel grinned as she stared at her husband, still toying with the top button of his work shirt. "I kind of wish we weren't at work right now and that you weren't busy."

"I know." Finn put a hand on Rachel's cheek. "Hey, I have an idea. How about while I go run back to the school and get sheet music, you drop by Sam Ash and see how Puck is doing? Santana and Kurt are out of the house and I don't want you to be alone until I get there. Besides, I want details. I want to know if Puck is really a good salesmen like everyone at work here has been telling me."

"All right, you really want me to go and check on Puck?" Rachel asked. "Okay then. I'll go and be your little spy." Rachel got up from her seat, planting a kiss on Finn's cheek. "I love you and I'll see you at home."

"I love you too!" Finn yelled over his shoulder as Rachel made her way towards the door. "Remember! Details!" Rachel laughed, exiting the diner and closer the door behind her, leaving Finn alone to finish his work.

Rachel walked to the Sam Ash store that was downtown in lower Manhattan, stuffing her hands in her jacket pockets as she braced the cold New York weather. Rachel opened the door to the Sam Ash store, spotting Puck ringing up a customer—it also didn't hurt that the customer was an attractive female. Rachel shook her head but she kept a smile on her face as she watched Puck interact with the customer. She got closer towards the register, getting into hearing range of Puck and his conversation.

"Thank you for shopping at Sam Ash and I hope to see you again real soon." Puck winked as the girls giggled, walking away from the counter to head to the exit. Rachel nodded politely towards them, making her way to Puck as he looked up to her and smiled. "Well, well, well if it isn't my hot Jewish American Princess."

"Hi Noah." Rachel grinned, waving to her friend. "I just saw you smooth talk that customer and if you keep it up then you're going to attract more women in here."

"It's the only way to keep business, baby." Puck feigned his cockiness as Rachel laughed. "So, can I ask what brings you here? Unless Finn sent you to buy guitar strings for the guitars in the choir room or he sent you to spy on me."

"Actually, I'm here because Finn's busy." Rachel said. "He's working on some stuff for Regionals, Santana went to an art gallery thing with Dani and Kurt said he had a gigantic surprise and he was going to need some time to prepare everything so no one is home. I didn't want to be lonely so I was wondering if when you finished here if we could go grab some dinner or something." If Rachel and Puck were in the 10th grade, Puck would have surely rebuffed Rachel's request and possibly thrown a slushie at her. However, things were different. They were in New York City and Puck realized he had become closer to Rachel the more he lived in the loft.

"Sure, that'd be cool." Puck agreed. "I just have to lock up first. Those two were the last customers of the day."

"Awesome." Rachel grinned. Puck smiled at her as he went into the drawer near the register to grab the key to lock up the store but as he did that, he found himself staring at Rachel, almost in a daze. She was looking through her phone as she waited for Puck to finish but he found that he was distracted. He wasn't sure what was going on, but he shook his thoughts and continued to lock up the store just so he could have dinner with his friend.

"All right! I call the first official meeting of Pamela Landsbury to order!" Kurt banged on the table as he stared at Elliot, Dani, Santana, Rachel, Finn and Puck the next evening. Kurt folded his hands together, looking as if he was going to burst out with excitement.

"All right Kurt, I have work to do for Regionals so would you mind hurrying this up a bit?" Finn wondered.

"Yeah and I was supposed to meet with Mr. Campion this evening to work on my dialect to improve my Fanny Brice accent." Rachel added. "I had to reschedule and you're lucky he thinks that I'm going to be Broadway's next star or else he wouldn't have even considered it for me."

"That and I'm pretty sure I left the bathtub in my apartment running." Dani chimed in.

"All right, you guys are going to thank me for this when I tell you…drumroll Finn." Kurt pointed to his brother. Finn banged on the table in a rhythmic motion, but he didn't look too pleased. "I booked our first gig!"

"You did what?" Santana seemed excited.

"That's amazing Kurt!" Finn smiled.

"Awesome, so where's our first gig?" Elliot wondered.

"It's at the famous hotspot…Callbacks." Kurt looked excited. As soon as he said so, everyone's smile diminished. "What? What's wrong with Callbacks?"

"Nothing's wrong with it Kurt, it's just…" Rachel tried to toy with how to tell Kurt her real thoughts. Luckily, Puck didn't have a hard time being blunt.

"No one's going to go to Callbacks on a Thursday night, Willy Wonka." Kurt looked down at his outfit, wondering what caused Puck to say that he looked like a man that owned a chocolate factory. Maybe it was the purple vest…he was going to have to do something about that later. "Look, if you were going to book someplace for us to have our band perform then it should have been done where all the kids go on a Thursday night—a club."

"Puck, not everyone goes to the club on a Thursday night." Finn sighed. "I think that's just you."

"Regardless, isn't Callbacks supposed to be some Broadway hotspot? I mean it's going to look odd when we're covering songs that aren't on Broadway at a place that's for theatre students." Dani said.

"I know, but think about it for a minute." Kurt got up from his chair, coming in between Rachel and Puck as he put an arm around both their shoulders. "Imagine the crowd going wild when we sing Madonna's greatest hits! I mean come on, it's perfect. Everyone on the planet loves Madonna."

"I just think she's a MILF." Puck took Kurt's arm from his shoulders as he continued to stare at him. "Look Kurt, I'm gonna be honest with you. I think the band should cover stuff that those theatre geeks like."

"Wait, are you suggesting that we cover show tunes?" Santana raised an eyebrow to him.

"Not show tunes, Satan." Puck got up from his chair to grab his guitar. "I mean some kickass rock and roll!"

"Not everyone likes Rock and Roll, Puck." Kurt rubbed his temples.

"Everyone in Glee Club likes Rock and Roll." Finn thought that Puck had a point.

"Even Simone Barberrie likes Rock and Roll, Finn?" Kurt shot his brother a look.

"Look, all I'm saying is that we're a band and it would only be right if we heard Puck out here," Finn elaborated. "Sure, this is your band but everyone needs to have a fair shake at it. I mean, if Rachel suggested that we do Barbra Streisand or if Santana suggested that we did Janet Jackson or maybe if Dani suggested we do One Direction or something, you would listen to them right?"

"I'm not a fan of One Direction." Dani piped up.

"It was an example." Finn waved off Dani's comment before continuing his talk with Kurt. "The point is we need to do music that's appealing to everyone. So let's give Puck's rock idea a chance."

"All right, fine." Kurt relented.

"By the way Finn, how do you know about One Direction?" Dani suddenly seemed interested.

"He sings Best Song Ever in the shower every morning." Santana smirked. "Finn is also a closeted fan of The Wanted, N'SYNC, Backstreet Boys…and Aaron Carter."

"I am not a closeted fan of Aaron Carter." Finn protested. A moment later his phone began to ring with the song "That's How I Beat Shaq" blaring. Finn picked up the phone, staring over at Santana as he gave her an embarrassed glance. "Yeah, grandma I'm gonna have to call you back." Finn hung up the phone, feeling his cheeks turning red.

"Anyway, back to my point here's something I think we should consider doing for the show. Nothing with show tunes, just some classic rock and roll." Puck sat behind the piano in the loft, as he began to play a few keys with everyone gazing at Puck with interest. It didn't take long for them to chime in and sing with Puck.

{Puck starts playing a few keys on the piano and the members of Pamela Landsbury get up from their seat and walk over to Puck who's in front of the piano}

[Puck] (with Pamela Landsbury)

(Ooh, you make me live)

Whatever this world can give to me

It's you, you're all that I see

(Ooh, you make me live now honey

Ooh, you make me live)

{Puck gets up from the piano and grabs his guitar as he stares at Rachel. Rachel smiles as Puck continues singing but Finn's face turns confused as Rachel and Puck continue looking at each other}

Ooh, you're the best friend that I've ever had

I've been with you such a long time

You're my sunshine and I want you to know

That my feelings are true

I really love you (Pamela Landsbury: Ooh)

Oh, you're my best friend

{Puck walks around the living room loft with a smile as the other members of Pamela Landsbury follow him and while Puck sings Kurt and Elliot exchange a glance, causing Kurt to suddenly get flustered}

[Pamela Landsbury]

Ooh, you make me live

[Puck]

Ooh, I've been wandering around

back to you (Pamela Landsbury: I still come back to you)

In rain or shine

You stood by me girl

I'm happy at home (Pamela Landsbury: I'm happy at home)

You're my best friend

{Puck puts the guitar behind his back and holds out his hand for Rachel to take as Rachel grabs it and they start dancing around the loft. Finn looks over at Puck and turns to Santana but notices that Santana is too into the performance}

[Pamela Landsbury]

Ooh, you make me live

[Puck](with Pamela Landsbury)

Whenever this world is cruel to me

I got you to help me forgive

(Ooh, you make me live now honey

Ooh, you make me live)

You're the first one

When things turn out bad

You know I'll never be lonely

You're my only one

And I love the things

I really love the things that you do (Pamela Landsbury: Ooh)

Ooh, you're my best friend

[Pamela Landsbury]

Ooh, you make me live (Puck: live, live, live)

{Rachel walks over to Finn and wraps her arms around his neck as she presses a kiss on his cheek, causing Finn to smile at her. Rachel and Finn stare at each other and Rachel grabs his hands as they look into each other's eyes}

[Puck]

(Pamela Landsbury: I'm happy at home)

You're my best friend

Oh

Ooh, you're my best friend

(Pamela Landsbury: You make me live)

You're my best friend

{Puck stares over at Rachel and Finn and he continues to stare over at Rachel while Rachel and Finn are in their own little world}

[Puck and Pamela Landsbury]

Ooh,

Ooh,

Ooh, you make me live!

Everyone started cheering as Puck took the guitar and put it back on the guitar rack, but he didn't notice that he was getting a look from Finn. Puck played it off, shrugging his shoulders as Finn continued to stare, not wanting to admit that he had a gut feeling that Puck was slowly gaining feelings for someone he shouldn't have.

"So for our band number I was thinking that we go back to 1985 and pay homage to Madonna and the eighties." Kurt said to Elliot the next afternoon at the diner. "I was thinking maybe we have Rachel, Santana and Dani wearing these curly eighties hair styles and then we have me, you, Finn and Puck in these neon looking suits. Finn said he'd wear it and I had to pay Puck $40 for it to happen for him. So what do you think?" Elliot looked at the designs, staring back at Kurt with interest.

"I think these designs look really awesome." Elliot said. "Then again, I've seen all your designs and your designs are amazing. I'm actually surprised that your brother agreed with no hesitation."

"Finn's actually my step-brother. His mom married my dad, and we all know how that went." Kurt sighed. "Although we had our differences we love each other and he's willing to do whatever to be supportive." Just as Kurt was talking to Elliot, Finn walked over, tapping Kurt on the shoulder.

"Kurt, don't forget you still owe me $40 for wearing your costume." Finn said. Kurt sighed as he went into his pocket, handing Finn $40, which left Finn satisfied. Finn turned on his heels and went back to work, causing Kurt to look back to Elliot.

"I forgot to mention Finn's support comes with a price." Kurt sheepishly winced. Elliot chuckled, looking at the designs that were still in front of him. As Kurt went to reach for one of the designs, he brushed his hand with Elliot's, causing Kurt's heart to race as he pulled his hand back in a quick fashion.

"Hey, are you okay?" Elliot wondered. "You look a little pale all of a sudden."

"Me? No, I'm not pale at all." Kurt shrugged it off, trying to make his heartbeat steady again. "I just remembered that there were some things I had to add to the designs. How about I swing by your school later and we can work on the designs there?"

"That sounds great." Elliot said, getting up from the table. He waved to Kurt as he left the Spotlight Diner, causing Kurt to let out a breath. He really wasn't falling for Elliot, now was he? That couldn't happen. It couldn't happen one bit. For one thing, he was still dating Blaine and Kurt loved Blaine with all his heart. Then again, he did realize that he was distant with Blaine lately, and they haven't really spoken since Finn and Rachel's wedding. Sure, there were some conversations here and there but none of them made Kurt's heart feel as if it was going to come out of his chest. Kurt noticed Santana sitting in the seat across from him, folding her arms and giving Kurt an 'I saw that' face.

"I totally saw that when you brushed hands with Elliot you were blushing." Santana smirked. "I think you're gaining a tiny crush on him."

"Oh god, was it that obvious?" Kurt worried. "I mean I don't want anything to happen to the band because I decided to act on an impulse. I also have to remember that I am in a committed relationship with Blaine and that I love him."

"Kurt, can I ask you a question?" Santana leaned closer towards her friend. "When was the last time you actually spoke to Blaine in a loving manner? And not about his clothes or how he's a control freak, I mean a real honest loving conversation, kind of like the ones Finn has with Rachel on a daily basis."

"Oh come on, Finn and Rachel do not have loving conversations on a daily basis," Kurt scoffed. "I mean who has time for that?" Santana pointed towards the counter where Kurt saw Finn and Rachel talking, and Rachel was giggling like a little schoolgirl.

"If I'm guessing, they're probably talking about how much sex they're going to have tonight." Santana grinned.

"You know, that's probably not what they're talking about." Kurt refused to believe Santana's notion. "But getting back to the conversation we were having, the last time that Blaine and I spoke was on Skype…last week. And that conversation was awkward because my room happened to be next to Finn and Rachel's bedroom, it was twelve in the morning and Finn and Rachel weren't asleep. I mean I can't get the noise of the bed creaking over and over out of my head. You would think Finn would eventually get tired! Eventually Blaine and I gave up and went to sleep…but I had to use earplugs."

"Are you sure you didn't just use Finn and Rachel having sex as an excuse to not talk to Blaine?" Santana wondered. "I mean they have it at a certain time of the day, usually before bed, in the middle of the night or at 5:00 a.m. for a wakeup-call."

"Hey guys, what are you talking about?" Finn walked over, sitting in one of the booths next to Santana and Kurt.

"Your sex schedule with Rachel." Kurt bluntly answered. Finn's eyes widened, turning to Santana. "Apparently she writes down every time you and Rachel do it and keeps it in her calendar so that she doesn't have to be in the house—or wears earplugs."

"Why are you talking about my private, personal life?" Finn whispered to Santana. "What Rachel and I do is no one's business."

"Well I hate hearing your business." Santana retorted. "Anyway, we were talking about how Kurt has a thing for Elliot and yet he's still dating Blaine. I was just about to give him some sound advice but we found talking about you was more fun."

"Anyway, um Kurt I'm your brother so maybe I should help you with your problems." Finn looked to Santana before focusing on Kurt.

"All right, you want to help me, here it is. I can't like Elliot, Finn." Kurt said. "I'm with Blaine. And sure Blaine and I haven't talked because he's busy with preparing for graduation soon but I get this feeling that…maybe it's about time that I tried something new. Maybe with Elliot, maybe with someone else…God, this is so confusing."

"Hey, Kurt let me give you some advice." Santana looked Kurt in the eyes, ignoring the fact that Finn was here. "Just date them both. It's what I'd do." Kurt and Finn exchanged a glance and without taking his eyes off Kurt, Finn pointed to Santana.

"Yeah, Kurt don't…listen to what Santana says." Finn meekly suggested. He then turned serious, putting a hand on Kurt's shoulder. "Kurt, the only one that can really decide what's good for you is you. No one can tell you who to date. It all depends on what's in your heart. I think right now you need to do a little soul searching and that soul searching will eventually lead you into finding what's the right thing for you. Just take your time Kurt. There's no rush to grow up." Kurt hugged Finn with Finn reciprocating the hug and letting out a smile.

"Thanks Finn. You really are a great brother." Kurt softly whispered.

"You're welcome dude. Anytime you need me, I'm here." Finn nodded his head as he broke the hug. Finn grabbed his rag from the table and patted Kurt's back. "Come on, we have to get back to work or we don't get paid." Kurt chuckled as Santana followed Finn, however Kurt stayed in his position for a few minutes longer, thinking about where his love life was leading him. Was he really content staying with Blaine although Blaine and Kurt hadn't spoken much since Kurt went to visit Lima or is Elliot the one that he should consider going after, living in the here and now?

In the same diner, Puck was sitting in one of the booths staring over at Rachel taking someone's order. As she walked towards one of the bus boys to hand him the order, she spotted Puck and waved at him with her illuminating smile. Puck waved back at her, but he felt his heart beat faster and maybe even felt his hands turning sweaty just from looking at her. Rachel walked back to the booth, sitting down across from Puck as she gave him a smile.

"Hey, so you said that you wanted to meet here. Is something the matter?" Rachel wondered. Puck leaned back in his chair, gazing over at Rachel with a sigh.

"Well, there's something I did that I wasn't proud of." Puck whispered. "Look, before you judge me, I just want you to know that I'm not the person I was when we were 15. I'm not the same guy who proclaims himself to be a badass and throws kids in dumpsters. I'm not that guy anymore. I thought that maybe so that I wouldn't feel so lonely in New York, I slept with one of my middle school friends mothers which was super creepy after I realized it. Anyway, it took a while after the fact but I eventually called Quinn to tell her the truth."

"How did she take it?" Rachel wondered.

"Well, it was more or less of how I took things," Puck continued to look at Rachel. "I found out she was sleeping with her professor from her psychology class. He picked up the phone and that was when I realized that Quinn and I really weren't ready for the long distance thing. So I ignored her calls, ignored her texts, I pretended that everything was okay but in reality it wasn't. That's why I was kind of touched that you came to my job the other day just to ask if I wanted to go to dinner. I think secretly you didn't want me to be alone, despite you being alone yourself. I needed a friend and you were there. So, I really have to say thanks even though you didn't know it at the time."

"So that's why you were flirting with the customers at Sam Ash." Rachel raised an eyebrow, noticing that Puck had become remorseful. "Puck, what's wrong?"

"I just realized that I could be doing all these amazing things and yet here I am, working at a guitar store in New York City, not really knowing where I'm going next." Puck let out a heavy sigh. "I'm lost Rachel. I'm officially a New York loser and that's ten times worse than a Lima loser. Quinn didn't even really want to be with me while I was here so that must mean that she's not the one…I guess she just thought she wanted to be with me."

"Noah, I'm going to let you in on a little secret." Rachel patted Puck's hand. "You are not a New York loser, Puck. You really don't see how special you are. I never saw you care about something so much and I have to admit that you have changed since High School. Sometimes we relapse and fall back on old habits but that doesn't make you a loser or a bad person. It was just a bad choice. You're going to find your soul mate, I promise you. She's out there somewhere, who knows maybe she's in this diner and you don't know about it yet." Puck stared at Rachel and slightly tensed up when she mentioned that his soul mate could have been in the diner. "Now I have to get back to work but here's what we're going to do right now. Get over here and let me give you a hug. Even people like you need a hug once in a while." Puck couldn't resist giving Rachel a hug, holding her tightly as she rubbed his back soothingly.

"Thank you." Puck softly said. "For everything."

"You're welcome." Rachel winked at him, heading towards the counter as she went back to work. Puck looked over at the counter realizing that his feelings weren't fake—Puck was falling for Rachel!

{Puck watches Rachel handing Finn and order and Finn smiles at her, Puck continues keeping his eye on Rachel as Rachel heads into the kitchen}

[Puck]

So she said what's the problem baby

What's the problem I don't know

Well maybe I'm in love (love)

Think about it every time

I think about it

Can't stop thinking bout it

{Scene shows Kurt sitting at the booth and thinking for a moment, wondering what to do about Elliot and Blaine}

[Kurt]

How much longer will it take to cure this

Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)

Makes me want to turn around and face me

But I don't know nothing about love

[Puck and Kurt]

Come on, come on

(Puck: Turn a little faster)

Come on, come on

(Kurt: The world will follow after)

Come on, come on

Cause everybody's after love

{Scene changes to the loft and Puck watches Rachel and Finn watching television from the other couch}

[Puck]

So I said I'm a snowball running,

Running down into the spring that's coming all this love

Melting under blue skies

Belting out sunlight

Shimmering love

{Scene shows Kurt in the loft kitchen looking at a picture of him and Blaine as Kurt looks up}

[Kurt]

Well baby I surrender

To the strawberry ice cream

Never ever end all this love

Well I didn't mean to do it

But there's no escaping your love

[Puck and Kurt]

These lines of lightning

Mean we're never alone, never alone

No, no

{Puck spots Rachel and Finn walking into their bedroom as Finn closes the door and Puck hears the lock turning on the door. Puck goes to his room and he thinks about Rachel}

Come on, come on

(Puck: Move a little closer)

Come on, come on

(Kurt: I want to hear you whisper)

Settle down inside my life

Come on, come on

(Puck: Jump a little higher)

Come on, come on

(Kurt; If you feel a little lighter)

Come on, come on

We were once upon a time in love

{Scene changes to Puck and Kurt in the Glee choir room as Finn and Rachel sit in the seats and they work on material for Regionals. Kurt looks at his phone and sees that Elliot texted him and Kurt looks worried}

We're accidentally in love

Accidentally in love

Accidentally in love

Accidentally in love

Accidentally in love

Accidentally in love

Accidentally in love

Accidentally in love

I'm in love, I'm in love

I'm in love, I'm in love

I'm in love, I'm in love

Accidentally in love

Accidentally in love

{Shows Kurt and Puck on the NYADA stage standing on opposite sides of the stage without making eye contact with each other}

Come on, come on

(Puck: Spin a little tighter)

Come on, come on

(Kurt: And the world's a little brighter)

Come on, come on

[Puck]

Just get yourself inside her love

I'm in love

The night before Pamela Landsbury's first gig, the band (minus Rachel since she had rehearsal she couldn't get out of) were having a meeting in the living room of the loft. Kurt had finished getting the designs of the bands costumes for tomorrow and was about to present the finished products. Kurt and Elliot stood on opposite sides of one another, gazing at the red curtain that was on top of the clothes. Santana, Dani, Finn and Puck just sat there, wondering when Kurt was going to stop being theatrical so that they could get on with it.

"All right, ladies and gentlemen." Kurt clapped his hands together. "I am about to show you the costumes for the first ever Pamela Landsbury gig. Now, I want you all to be excited because here they are!" Kurt pulled the curtain off the clothes as Dani and Santana's faces lit up. The costumes were eighties retro, something that looked like it came from a music video from Madonna. Santana and Dani got up from their seats, holding their costumes in their hands.

"Kurt, you have outdone yourself." Santana grinned. "These look amazing."

"I love it! If I could go to work in this I would." Dani agreed. "And that blue eighties dress with the pink shoes are going to look so amazing on Rachel, right Finn?" Finn simply nodded his head but his eyes were fixated on his costume.

"Kurt, you couldn't get me something that was a little less neon light-ish?" Finn crossed his arms towards his brother. "I love you but I'm going to look like I went through a time warp."

"That's the point, Finn." Kurt explained. "We're taking it back to 1985 with these designs. Besides, I paid you $40 to wear it so take a jacket and shut up." Finn put his hand up as a way to show a sign of defeat, Kurt taking it as Finn wanting him to toss the jacket. Kurt tossed the jacket to Finn as Finn shrugged his shoulders, feeling the material.

"I like this material, what is it?" Finn seemed intrigued.

"It's cotton, Finn." Kurt spoke in a monotone voice. "It's cotton. Anyway, let's move on to the music set list. I was thinking that along with Into The Groove we bring a viral classic: The Fox."

"What the hell?" Puck's face contorted into confusion.

"Are you high, Kurt?" Santana added.

"Think about it, we could go down as a band that took risks and never took no for an answer." Kurt tried to convince his band mates. Look, how about we worry about the performance tomorrow. Right now, let's just focus on unwinding. I hear that X-Factor is coming up next. I'll go get the food." Kurt exited the living room, heading towards the kitchen as Finn and Puck sat there giving each other eye contact.

"So Puck, do you mind if I ask you a question?" Santana spoke out of nowhere. Puck groaned as Dani patted Puck's back.

"What is it?" Puck mustered out.

"I noticed at the diner today that you were talking to Rachel." Santana stated. "I also noticed that you two have been spending a lot of time together especially after the fact that we found out Rachel was being felt up by her co-star. What's going on between you two? I mean for one thing, Rachel is married and for another thing you can't have her because why would she want someone like you?"

"Why did I even acknowledge you?" Puck got up from the sofa, ignoring Santana. "Every time I say that you should tell me what's on your mind, you go and have to overanalyze everything. I mean, I can't spend time with Rachel? Last time I checked she's my friend!"

"You weren't friends in High School and I remember the only reason that you wanted to date her was because your mother suggested you dated a Jewish girl." Santana kept her eye contact on Puck. "Now all of a sudden you're revealing things to her, like I checked that Quinn was sleeping with her professor."

"Shut up!" Puck shouted.

"What's the matter, Puckerman? You can't handle the bright lights of New York City because you're girlfriend doesn't want you're little package and she'd rather bang a guy that has more smarts than you." Santana teased. Finn didn't like where this was going and all Elliot and Dani could do was sit and watch. "Let me tell you something Puck, this city is a dog eat dog world and everyone seems to eat you alive. Except, we have to go running to Rachel like she's the kindergarten teacher that can magically solve problems with a couple of tunes. Face it Puck, you're lost…and no one is ever going to understand you."

"You're wrong Santana!" Puck yelled. "You act like Rachel would never want to be my friend! You act like she would never be interested in someone like me!" Hearing those words made Finn's ears perk up and he continued to listen from where he was sitting, feeling the anger rise through his body. "You don't get it! It's not like every moment I spend with Rachel is precious because I'm falling in love with her or something! Even though she's the only one that gets me! So what if I've been hanging around her more than I should, what if my heart can't stop pounding into my chest every time I see her! What if I can't help it that I'm falling for her!" Puck was so caught up in his anger; he didn't realize what he just said. He just saw Finn get up from the sofa, crossing his arms at him.

"Excuse me?" Finn felt the anger growing through his body but he was trying his hardest to control it. "What did you just say?! Did you just say that you're falling in love with Rachel?!" Finn bellowed. Puck continued to stare at Finn, suddenly regretting everything he just said.

"KURT! Bring the popcorn!" Santana shouted to Kurt in the kitchen. "The Puckeberry Finn fight is on…and it's going DOWN!" Puck and Finn continued to look at one another, Finn feeling almost betrayed.

"I knew there was something going on!" Finn yelled. "I knew it!"

"Finn, nothing happened between me and Rachel!" Puck argued.

"And nothing is going to happen between you and Rachel!" Finn pointed a finger at him, turning furious. "Because you're going to stay away from her. I don't want you talking to her, I don't want you looking at her, I don't want you to even mention her name! Rachel doesn't exist to you! I worked too hard to marry her and I'm not going to have some home wrecker like you ruin this for me!" Finn and Puck heard the door unlock and slide open, revealing that Rachel had come home from rehearsal. Rachel entered the house spotting Finn and Puck looking at one another, wondering what was going on.

"Hi guys, what's going on?" Rachel walked over to Finn and Puck. "I had the greatest day of rehearsal today and it was just magnificent! Oh, Puck I went to the music store and I got you something." Rachel went into her bag and pulled out a music sheet book of all of Puck's favorite rock bands. "I realized that you wanted to do some rock with the band and I figured if we convinced Kurt maybe he would let you, Finn and Elliot perform a rock song at our next gig!"

"Oh, that sounds great Rachel, thank you." Puck grabbed the music books from Rachel, shooting Finn a glance. Finn knew that deep down inside he couldn't stop Rachel from hanging out with Puck. Puck was Rachel's friend too and even though Finn wasn't sure if he could trust Puck, Rachel seemed to think that nothing was out of the ordinary. "I'm going to head to my room and work on this." Puck nodded his head, making his way towards his room, leaving Finn in a daze.

"So what were you guys discussing?" Rachel walked over to Finn, pressing a quick kiss to his lips. She didn't get an answer since she turned her head and found the Pamela Landsbury clothing for the Madonna show. "Oh my gosh! These are amazing! Is the blue one mine?" Rachel headed over and started touching the clothing. Finn felt a smile creep on his face as he watched Rachel interact with the clothes. Rachel still loved him, right? She would do anything for him, right? She wasn't going to leave him for Puck…right?

"I'm so nervous!" Dani said the next evening as she and the band sat backstage, prepping for their show. "I mean did you see all those people out there?"

"Tell me about it." Santana added. "I think there was a guy that was out there trying to get my number. Little does he know that I don't play for his team."

"Am I wearing this right?" Finn looked at Kurt as he pointed to his ear. Kurt had given Finn a fake small earing to wear since they were taking it to the eighties. Men had their ears pierced in the eighties, so it was only right that Finn played the part.

"You look dashing." Kurt patted Finn's shoulder as he moved on. "So is everyone ready for our debut performance?"

"You know we are!" Elliot shouted. Kurt felt his heart beating in his chest as he nodded his head to him, trying to get the thoughts of him possibly liking Elliot out of his head.

"All right, let's do this!" Kurt walked over to backstage as Rachel walked over to Finn. Finn looked at her, looking completely star-struck at his beautiful wife.

"OMG, Rachel I totally love you! Like, can I have your autograph?!" Finn changed his voice into a California Valley girl accent, which made Rachel laugh. "You're like totally awesome!" Rachel gave Finn a kiss, running a hand through his hair; little did she know that Puck was trying his best not to stare at them. Santana noticed that Puck was catching glances every now and again, feeling the tension mount.

"Puck, give it a rest." Santana looked into the mirror. "Rachel doesn't love you like she loves Finn. She loves you like a friend. That's all you're ever going to be with her. Look, I want to apologize for last night. I shouldn't have done that to you. That was out of line for me, but Puck…I know you're hurting but you need to understand that you pining for Rachel is a little creepy. It's like the whole Finn, Rachel, Quinn thing all over again." As soon as Santana mentioned Quinn's name, Puck felt a nerve that tugged on his heartstrings. "Oh crap, I'm sorry Noah. Come here." Santana hugged Puck, giving his shoulders a squeeze. "You are so special. Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise, okay? You're going to find your girl somewhere…I just don't think that the girl you're looking for is Rachel…or possibly Quinn."

"All right! It's show time!" Kurt motioned for everyone to get out of their seats. The group made their way to their instruments as the curtain slowly started to rise. Rachel turned around and blew a quick kiss to Finn, Finn grinning from ear to ear as he noticed Puck was watching. Rachel turned around and as soon as she did, Finn's smile evaporated, giving Puck a hard glare.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Performing for the first time at Callbacks, may I give you…PAMELA LANDSBURY!" The curtain went all the way up as Dani started to play the synthesizer piano. Kurt and Elliot looked at one another, but Kurt was still finding it hard to control himself whenever he looked at Elliot. Kurt had to ignore all this for later. Right now, it was their debut and they were going to rock.

{Dani starts playing the synthesizer and Kurt turns to Elliot}

{The crowd begins to cheer and Kurt snaps his fingers as another song begins to play, everyone in Callbacks going insane as Kurt points to Finn}

[Finn]

Dog goes woof

Cat goes meow

Bird goes tweet

And mouse goes squeak

Cow goes moo

Frog goes croak

And the elephant goes toot

[Finn and Dani]

Duck say quack

And fish go blub

And the seal goes ow, ow, ow,

But there's one sound

That no one knows

[Pamela Landsbury]

Joff-tchoff-tchoff-tchoff-tchoff-tchoff

[Pamela Landsbury]

What the Fox say

[Rachel]

Big blue eyes

Pointy nose

Chasing mice and digging holes

Tiny paws up the hill

Suddenly you're standing still

[Finn and Rachel]

Your fur is red, so beautiful

Like an angel in disguise

But if you meet a friendly horse

[Finn]

Will you communicate by

[Puck]

Mo-o-o-o-rse

Mo-o-o-o-rse

Mo-o-o-o-rse

[Santana]

How will you speak to that

[Santana and Puck]

Ho-o-o-o-rse

A-oo-oo-oo0

Woo-oo-oo-oo

[Pamela Landsbury]

What does the fox say?

[Santana and Puck]

The secret of the fox

Ancient mystery

Somewhere deep in the words

I know you're hiding

[Finn and Rachel]

What is your sound

Will we ever know

Will always be a mystery

[Rachel with Pamela Landsbury]

What do you say? (What do you say)

You're my guardian angel

Hiding in the woods

What is your sound (What is your sound)

[Finn] (Rachel and Dani with Pamela Landsbury)

Wa-wa-way-do

Wub-wi-bid-dum-way-do

Wa-wa-way-do (will we ever know)

[Rachel, Kurt and Dani with Pamela Landsbury]

I want to know

I want to know

I want to know

[Finn]

Abay-ba-da-bum-bum-bay-do

The crowd at Callbacks went insane for Pamela Landsbury as the group took their bows. As soon as the curtains closed, Kurt walked over to Finn and patted his shoulder with a smile.

"Thanks for getting everyone to do that song for me." Kurt smiled. "You're the best brother in the world."

"I know I am." Finn smirked, holding out his hand. "You owe me $40." Kurt went into his pocket and gave Finn the money, letting out a sigh.

"You really are something else, you know that?" Kurt told his brother with honesty. "But I love you, you big lug."

"I love you too, buddy." Finn hugged his brother tightly. As Finn hugged Kurt, he kept his eyes on Puck, knowing that he wasn't going to be able to trust him from now on. He wanted Rachel—and there was no way in hell Finn was going to let Puck steal Rachel from him. It was going to have to happen over Finn's dead body. Kurt had his eyes fixated on Elliot as he held onto Finn, thinking about his brothers' words about following his heart. The problem was, Kurt didn't know where his heart belonged. Did his heart belong with Blaine—or was his heart in New York with Elliot?
