So, sadly, I don't own anything I used in this story. If I owned Glee, Finn and Rachel would have never broken up, Quinn wouldn't suck, and Santana wouldn't have seduced Finn. I also don't own "Forget You" and "Rolling in the Deep."
Chapter One- Idea
It's so beautiful this time of the year, Rachel thought as she strutted across her yard to her boyfriend's, Finn Hudson, car. All the colors among the trees, it looks like a mosaic of colors in the tree. Even better, it's not that cold outside and it's almost the end of October. Rachel felt a little weak though, she was wearing something new Kurt helped pick out with her. She was wearing navy jeggings, a purple shirt, a black cardigan, and silver ballet flats. Her hair was curled into nice bouncy curls and she had a black headband in her hair. This wasn't her, but she had to admit, she did look better.
"Hey Rach, what are you wearing?" Finn asked warmly, with a little curiosity as she got into his truck. He gave her a kiss on her cheek. Even after a year of dating, she still gets butterflies when she's around him.
"Hey babe, do you not like it?" She replied softly, as she was recovering from the attack of weirdness in her stomach. She was a little nervous, but was scared. Did Finn not like her outfit?
"No, I love it actually. It looks really nice, actually. You look really beautiful, like always." He answered proudly and gleaming with his smile.
"Aww.. Thanks." She said giggling, while some red came into her cheeks. "Did you get the text about the Glee meeting this morning from Mr. Schue?"
"Uh... Lemme check." He answered as he dug through his pockets in search of his cell. After a minute of rummaging, he pulled out his phone and looked through his messages. "Oh, yeah, I guess so. I didn't notice it."
Finn then proceeded to drive them to school, a little bit faster than usual because they had to make the Glee meeting before school started. They were talking about their plans for Halloween weekend, a party at Mercedes', only for the Glee kids.
"Is it a costume party?" Finn questioned, a little scared because he was scared Rachel was coming up with embarrassing costume pair ideas.
"Uh... I don't think so. I'll check with Mercedes." Rachel answered, sort of distracted.
"What's wrong? Are you okay? You seem sort of... not there?" Finn asked sincerely.
"I'm sort of just caught up with how people feel about me. I'm most hated person in our school. No one likes me at all. Did you know someone rigged a slushie to fall out at me when I opened my locker? I can't even tell you how they got in there. It's hard, having dreams to leave." Rachel gushed, and some tears began to flow out of her chocolate brown eyes.
"Woah, woah, woah. Rachel, you are not the most hated person in our school. Jacob is. Trust me. Everyone is Glee is starting to warm up to you, you are loved, just give people time." Finn said soothingly as he pulled into his assigned parking space. When he parked and they got out, he pulled her into a massive hug. "Rachel, you are the most wonderful girl in the whole entire universe. If they don't like you, then they are making the biggest mistake in their lives."
Again, those butterflies came back, but this time, they came with a smile. He took her hand as they walked to the music room to hear what Mr. Shue wanted to talk about.
...
"Hey Guys! Just in time!" Mr. Schue greeted Finn and Rachel as they came in. They saw they were the last ones, so they hurried to their seats in the front row. "So guys, since we haven't been feeling the best from our loss at Nationals..." Everyone cringed or made some kind of uncomfortable look, their loss was so hard, because they had worked so hard. "... I think we need a moral booster. I know Halloween is coming up, so I had an idea." Everybody's eyes began to shine with some light. "It's been unusually warm, so Halloween weekend, I was thinking, what if we went on a little club camping trip?"
Everybody in the room went crazy. They were all for the idea. Even Mercedes, she didn't care that her party just got cancelled. There was laughter in the air, and the all forgot about the mention of their devastating loss at Nationals to of course, Vocal Adrenaline.
"So, I'm guessing it's okay?" Mr. Schue asked hopefully. Everyone nodded their heads happily with a "DUH!" from Puck. "Details will be given out tomorrow at our regular meeting. Also, I have a little surprise for you all. Since we're going to need another chaperone, look who is coming with us." Everyone turned their heads to the door, and they saw Holly Holiday strut in, wearing a black dress, a leather jacket, and four inch high heels. Her blonde hair was chemically straightened to be pin straight, typical Holly Holiday attire.
"Now it's a party!" Puck screamed.
"I'm happy you're all excited to me, because I'm ready to bring a little joy into you're lives!" She exclaimed. "Hit it!"
The band broke into the song "Forget You," a Holly Holiday classic.

Everyone applauded for the performance that she had given them almost a year ago when she subbed for Glee Club.
...
Artie was little nervous. A camping trip? My wheels will not be able to make it through that mess. What am I going to do? Of course I want to go, but I'll hold the group back, and everyone will get mad at me, and Berry with bitch at me. She was so mean sometimes, not just me, but everyone. So freaking annoying. But sometimes she does try, she's almost nice, but I guess I don't know her well enough. Oh well, I have to find Brittany.
...
Finn was ecstatic, he'd never been camping before. It was always too much money for him and his mom to go, even though he'd wanted to since he was very little. Now he'd being going with all of friends! And he'd have his girlfriend with him! But, he felt a little sorrow in this trip. Camping was always something he had wanted to do with his father. He had always imagined him and his father out fishing or canoeing in a lake, or building a fire. It was a typical father/son thing to do. He'd miss so much with his father being killed in Iraq. He'd never admit to anyone, but sometimes when he was really feeling down, and even though he wouldn't admit it, he'd let a few tears go, wishing his father was alive, doing well, fatherly things.
Finn looked at his watch. Oh shit! I have to get to where... oh right, I have to get pre-calculus before the bell rang. He began to walk and he made it right into his seat when the bell rang.
...
A camping trip? Eh.. Ok. I guess I can do this. I can finally get Puckerman in bed with me again. That fatty is stealing my man, and I need him back. Brittany rejected me and is still with Cripples McGee. But the thing is, I actually sort of really like Puck. A lot. After he got rid of his baby mama, he's was free. But no Fatass came into the picture and she needs her to leave. I need a plan. Wait... Why am I doing this? I am so mean, but it's the only way to get him into bed and into my arms forever. Santana had so many thought jumbling through her head she made her way through the crowds to get to her Physics class.
...
Wow, a camping trip? Rachel thought. I feel bad. Now the other glee clubbers will have to deal with me for a whole weekend. It's sort of sad. But maybe, just maybe, if I try and not be a bitch, they'll like me. But a camping trip? Since Mr. Shue is with Holly... maybe he'll be a little more relaxed. Then we can choose who to sleep with in our tents. And I know exactly who I'm picking.
...
"Ok guys! Down to business. We need to discuss this little trip of ours." Mr. Schue exclaimed with a bright smile. "So, I was thinking we'll go to this little lake near Akron, about a half an hour away, so we'll still be in the wilderness, enjoying nature..." Everyone squealed in delight. They were so excited. "... There will a lake and boats we can go out rent! There are hiking trails we can hike along, there are grills, so we can cook our own food. Also, I read the reviews, and the campsite has the cleanest bathrooms ever." The girls happier than ever when he said that, and Kurt too. "We'll have to share tents obviously, and now since most of you are seniors, I'm trusting you to pick you're own tent partners." Finn and Rachel shared approving glances, which made it obvious that they were going to sleep in the same tent. "Here are permissions slips and all the information that you will need for the trip." He passed them out, and then he announced, "Okay gang, let's get down to business. Quinn, you told me you had a song that you'd like to share with us."
"Yes, Mr. Shue. I saw the movie, I Am Number Four, and there was the song "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele in the movie, and I really liked it, so I want to sing it."
"Ok, give it a go!"
"Okay, but I'll need Mercedes and Tina to back me up."
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go head and sell me out and ill lay your ship there
See how I leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And its bring me out the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat
Baby I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you
And I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
It Reminds you of the home we shared
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat
Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turned my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
It all, it all it all,
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat
"Wow Quinn, that was really good! Who thinks we should put that on our lists of contenders for Sectionals?" Mr. Schue said proudly. It was an unanimous vote, and Quinn blushed a little.
"Let's get to work on our group number! Any ideas?" Mr. Schue called around. "No one? No one? Are we going to do Journey again?" The club jittered around, they couldn't do Journey. So, Finn spoke up, "Mr. Schue, what about like something like "We Weren't Born to Follow" by Bon Jovi? I mean we have a lot to display by that, by we don't follow the popular scene, but we still get by, it's like the anthems we did last year for regionals when we wrote "Loser Like Me."" Everyone seemed to like the idea, so they started to work on it.
...
Finally, the day arrived for the big camping trip! Everyone was going to meet at school, then travel in their own cars to the campsite following Mr. Schue. In Finn's car was himself, Rachel, Artie and Brittany. All of their supplies were in the back, guarded by a blue tarp. They had to wait an extra ten minutes, because Puck's car, along with Puck, Lauren, and Santana was late. "Sorry, I was still getting ready..." Santana called. "Okay, everyone follow me and Holly and let's get going!" Mr Schue called out of his window. Everyone cheered and they were on their way. First Mr. Schue and Holly, then Kurt, Blaine, Mercedes, after that was Mike, Tina, Sam, and Quinn, then Finn's car, and lastly Puck's car. After an hour, they finally reached their campsite and they were breathless.
