1) So glad for the Faberry... ESPECIALLY the fact that Rachel and Quinn's first time together wasn't actually under the influence of alcohol. I'm sure there will still be problems to come and relapses and repression, but I still breathed a sigh of relief when they didn't actually go through with it that first night.
2) Spy vs. Spy is kinda hilarious. I like how Rachel thought she was being super sneaky and Quinn just totally one-upped her.
3) Puck still being Puck but trying hard to be a good guy. You do a really good job at showing a hint of the kind of guy Puck could grow to be someday and I could totally see it happening. You're totally right though, when he's not quite that guy yet, and he's still gonna be the drinking, chewing, womanizing bastard sometimes.
4) Turning off the phone. Oh Finn, if you would've just gotten your head out of your ass you could've had Rachel so much sooner. You deserve to get shut down, at least for a little while. (I know he's not out of the picture yet)
5) Seeing places I know in your story, lol. My best friend goes to college in Durango, and it was really amusing to see it make it in.

Five seems like a good place to stop right? Hey, five points for part five! I like it when things just work out like that.

LOVING your story. This was an awesome update. :)

Full disclaimer: I had never heard of Durango before I wrote this story. Some of these places were completely random. But I did hope that my random selection of locales would end up being places that a couple of people knew of. Mission accomplished!

Did you just look at a map and try to draw circles and see what cities you went through? I honestly didn't know about Durango either before my friend decided to go to college there. It's a cute town, but kinda all by itself out there.

Anyway, haha, I'm glad I could help accomplish your mission, Captain. *Salute*

Kind of. I had a pretty good idea of what their major stops would be. Durango was just a convenient halfway point for them to spend the night because they wouldn't be driving too many hours each day on a road trip.

Why, yes, I AM a nerd with too much time on my hands.
