I don't own anything, Glee belongs to Fox.
First chapter is a little boring but should get exciting in the next chapter. Would love some reviews! Thanks!
Mr Schue grinned happily as they approached the campground. He'd been planning this special Glee camp for a long time and it was awesome to finally see his plan unfolding. Smiling at Emma, he reached out across the bus seat they shared (covered in a picnic blanket to keep the germs away), and nudged her, pointing towards the back. A matching smile spread over Emma's face at the sight of the Glee kids in the back of the bus.
Most of them were asleep. The i-pod between Kurt and Blaine still sat on the seat between them, the earplug hooking them together. Kurt was fast asleep, but as he slept he was mouthing the lyrics to the song. Blaine was one of the few still awake. But he was gazing at Kurt, lost completely in watching him.
In the seat across the aisle, Rachel and Finn were both asleep. She was practically lying on his lap. Fin head rested on the headrest, the tiniest snores emitting from his gaping mouth. Behind him, Puck and Sam were laughing as they put the cap back on the pen they'd just used to draw a moustache above said mouth.
Mike and Tina had their hands laced together and their heads leaning on each other.
Brittany was actually lying on Santana's lap, her legs spread across the aisle and onto Quinn's knees. Santana's hands had combed through her slumbering girlfriend's hair until she, too had fallen asleep. Quinn was too busy reading to mind the occasional jerks of Brittany's feet in her peaceful dreams. Sugar has been flicking through a stack of magazines beside her, but she had succumbed to sleep in the heat of the bus as well.
In front of their seats were a set that faced the back of the bus, where Mercedes was sitting. And between them was Artie's wheelchair. They couldn't see Mercedes, but her snores rose to join Artie's in the otherwise fairly quiet bus.
"They look so happy, Will. This was a great idea." Emma said encouragingly. Will smiled back. She was right. Though the Glee kids had seemed a little reluctant at first (mainly Kurt with his "Are you kidding Mr Schue. Do you know how many suitcases I'll have to pack for 10 days away?"), they had certainly warmed to the idea.
"This the one?" The driver asked, and Will turned to glace up at the small, unassuming sign that marked the turn-off ahead.
"That's it." Will answered, squeezing Emma's hand in excitement. As they bumped down the last gravel road, tree branches scraped the sides of the truck and Puck let out a low whistle from the back.
"This place is practically hidden from the road!" He said in wonder, peering out the back window where the trees hid almost all trace of their journey.
"This isn't the end of the trail, Noah." Emma said, as the bus pulled in to a small gravel carpark outside a wooden boathouse on the shores of a choppy lake. "We're taking the boat out to the island."
As the bus jerked to a stop some students pulled open their sleepy eyes and peered around. They seemed disorientated. Quinn shut her book with a sigh and shoved it in her bag while the sleeping couples woke and began to turn their attention to Mr Schue. Mercedes and Brittany seemed ready to go back to sleep so Will quickly clapped his hand to get their attention.
"Okay guys, we're here. I'd appreciate if you could get out and help our driver with your luggage and gather the bags by the boathouse. I'm going to the find people who're in charge of the island. I want you all ready when I get back."
…
When Will returned with the owners, the kids were standing around a pile of their bags and talking. The driver stood with his hat in his hands, talking to Emma. She thanked him and he got back into the bus, nodding and waving as he drove off down the road.
"Guys this in Tom and his wife, Joan." Will called after the bus was gone from sight. The old couple smiled and waved from behind him. "They say the island's all ready for guests and I have the key, so Tom will take us out on the boat and come to check on us in a week. Before we get there I want everyone to work out who they're rooming with. Two per room, though a couple rooms can sleep three people if we don't have enough. And I want boys with boys and girls with girls. No funny stuff, okay?"
As soon as he said it he realised his mistake, for Blaine stepped to Kurt's side in a heartbeat, his hand moving behind him doing something that made Kurt jump and blushed. "Blaine!" his quiet, indignant whisper reached Will's ears, yet still Kurt leaned closer to Blaine. Brittany was still looking very sleepy; and still draped over Santana. As Will watched, Santana kissed her.
"Umm... okay. But Blaine and Kurt, you will not be together. And Brittany and Santana- nuh uh. Um, let me see. I want you to…" Will looked dumfounded.
"I'll share with Kurt, Mr Schue." Santana offered, surprisingly. "Britt and Blaine won't mind sharing.
"Oh- Okay. Thank you, Santana. That's a good idea." Will said.
The other kids split off into pairs as well. Rachel had looked a little disappointed that Kurt was taken, but Quinn smiled at her and beckoned her over, and she seemed appeased. Finn and Puck had made a team, and Sam and Mike stood together. Joe grinned good-naturedly and took up a spot by Artie's wheelchair. Sugar, Mercedes and Tina all stood together as well.
"There's not enough for everyone to make pairs this way." Mercedes told Will "Is it okay if we just make a three?"
"Of course, Mercedes." Will said. "So are we all ready then?"
There was a unanimous agreement and Will turned to Tom. "Okay Tom, take us over!"
