Rachel told the guard her name and showed her ID. She, Kurt, and Blaine walked backstage.

"Can you believe we're back here?" Rachael whispered.

"There he is," Kurt pointed out.

The guitarist and singer, Noah "Puck" Puckerman, was surrounded by a gaggle of female fans.

Rachel stopped, her breath catching in her throat as she stared at him,

Blaine laughed. "I don't think I've ever seen you so starstruck."

"Go over and introduce yourself," Kurt encouraged.

Rachael quickly shook her head. "I can't! Look at all of those beautiful girls."

Blaine put his arm around her shoulders. "You have something they don't. You're a performer just like him. And in fact, he invited you to discuss something. Act like the hotshot talent you are and go over there."

Just then, Puckerman's eyes met hers. He managed to break free from his admirers, so she left Kurt and Blaine's side to meet him halfway.

"Rachel Berry, I'm glad you could make it. Did you enjoy the show?"

"It was wonderful. You're quite the impressive performer."

"I'm glad you think so. I've begun discussing my next album with my record company, and I'd like to do a duet with you for it."

Rachael blushed. "Wow, I didn't expect that,"

"Are you in?"

Rachel didn't have to think about it too hard. Doing a duet meant spending much more time together. "I'm in."

Notes: I haven't written Glee in a while, and what has happened with Mark Salling makes it harder, but I've been working on separating the character from the actor. No matter how disgusted I am with the actor, I still love Noah Puckerman. Please, don't flame me for daring to write Puckleberry.
