William Schuster took a deep breath as wrote the word on the board:
CAMP!
"We've got to sing camp songs for this week's assignment?" Asked Quinn, raising her signature eyebrow.
"Nope, we're going on a bonding camp!" The reaction was just as he had expected. The guys groaning and complaining about the girls, Rachel Berry babbling to herself, Kurt was screaming, Blaine was clutching his chair and looking a sickly green. Mercedes and Tina were arguing with their boyfriends, Sugar was already on the phone to her dad, Brittany just being Brittany, Artie putting up his excuse of being paralysed and Santana and Quinn screaming 'no way!'. He sighed heavily and took in a deep breath.
"Enough!" He yelled, they went quiet. "Principal Figgins gave us $5000, and along with the money we've already fundraised for the club, we have $7258. Which is plenty for our trip to nationals and more! So I decided to put it to good use and we are going on this bonding camp!" He half-yelled. Of course, Rachel had something to say and shot her hand up in the air. "Yes Rachel?"
"Mr Schuster, I understand that you are attempting to promote leadership and teamwork and friendship, which I wholly agree that this club needs to possess those qualities at the present time, but I don't think you are looking at the big picture which is- lives are at stake here! Can you imagine me spending however long with Santana and Quinn with no escape route! I don't think you understand the danger and my necessities! What about my morning routine? What about my nightly routine? I have a wardrobe planned for the rest of the year and you have completely ruined it!" She said desperately. She turned to her fellow glee clubbers, "All those in favour of cancelling this trip say I!"
"I!" They chorused. Will ignored them and grabbed the permission slips from the piano.
"These are your permission slips. I want them signed by you and a parent. They have to be completely filled in. E.g. Medication, allergies, diet needs, etc. It is important that you have these completed. Ms Pillsbury will be accompanying us, as will Coach Beiste and as will Ms Holliday! Someone you guys should be happy to see!" He handed them out to everyone one by one. "Now, before you complain, we will be cabins, not tents. Each cabin has beds, sets of drawers and mirrors and electricity! It is wheelchair accessible, Artie before you ask. And they have separate girl/boy toilets. This place is great, you guys should be happy! It's civilised, indoors, warm...this will be fun! What you put in will be what you get out!"
"Mr Schu, what's all this stuff we have to bring?" Blaine asked looking at the note.
"Glad you asked Blaine! You must bring, your favourite photos, a childhood memory, something that is important to you now and a list of what you want in the future. All of which will be included in a bonding session. Of course, you must need to bring swimmers, towels, toiletries, etc." He looked around at the group of sullen teenagers, "C'mon guys, this'll be fun!"
