Summer Trip

"I'm excited."

Danny looked up from his work at Matt who had just walked into his office. "Why?"

"By Friday night, we'll be done...over...finished..."

"You do realise it's just for the summer right?" Danny questioned as he started to write again.

"Sure." Matt shrugged and sat down, not at all put off by the fact that Danny looked busy. "I won't have to get up early, I can do what I want, when I want."

"You do that now." Danny sighed, putting his pen down. "Was there something you wanted me for?"

"To tell you that I'm excited."

"Right, now you've done that..."

"Are you trying to get rid of me?"

"Matt, the show is in two days... It's the last one before we go on hiatus... it needs to be perfect."

"It will be." Matt assured him.

"How's the writing coming along?"

"Eh..." Muttered Matt, as he spun around on his chair.

"That good, huh?" Danny replied sarcastically.

"Come on Danny, it'll be fine...you know it will, I know it will."

"How do you know?"

"Because I'm excited and nothing is going to bring me down."

"Hey, guys!" Jordan walked in grinning. "How's it going?"

"Good, we're excited." Matt replied.

"About what?"

"Don't get him started..." Danny cut in. "What are you doing here?"

"Wow, if that's how you greet your girlfriend, No wonder you've been divorced twice." Matt quipped, earning himself a glare from Danny. "Yeah, I should get back to work now..."

Jordan pushed him back into his chair when he tried to stand up. "Actually, there's something I need to give to you both."

"What is it?" Danny frowned.

"A note from Jack." She handed him the piece of paper in her hand.

Matt rolled his eyes. "What have we done now?"

"I don't know what it says... He just asked me to give it to you." She shrugged, taking a seat next to Matt.

"The cast and crew of Studio 60 are being sent on a camping trip as part of a team building exercise starting next Monday for 3 days..." Danny read aloud. "Wait, what? We don't need a team building exercise!"

"I'm not going camping!" Matt exclaimed.

"Why not?" Jordan looked at Matt.

"We already have a good team… Why would we need to go team building?" Danny asked before Matt could answer.

Just then Tom and Simon walked by the open office door, arguing, causing all three to look and watch them walk by.

"It's so lame!" Tom stated.

"You're lame!" Simon replied. "You wouldn't know what cool was if it came up to you and said 'hi, I'm cool..."

Jordan looked back at Danny. "Yep, great team sprit..."

"I'm not going camping." Matt stated again.

"Matt, don't worry about it. Just think about all the money NBS makes, they'll probably hire us some of those nice luxury log cabins..."

"No, you have to sleep in tents." Jordan told him, pointing to where it said that at the bottom of the letter.

"And we have to supply our own?" Danny exclaimed. "Oh no! I'm not going camping!"

"Oh my god, are you two five or something!" Jordan rolled her eyes. "It'll be fun!"

"That's alright for you to say, you don't have to go." Matt replied.

"Ha, but she does!" Danny laughed.

Jordan looked at him quickly. "What? Why?"

"It says here... Jordan McDeere will be joining you on the trip to improve her relationship with the team..." Danny read out. "See, not so fun now is it?"

"You know, I say we burn this and pretend we never got it." Matt took the letter off of Danny.

"No, you will not!" Jordan snatched it away from him. "Page all of the cast and crew to the stage so we can let them know."

"But..."

"And it will be fun." She gave them both a look before leaving the office.

Danny and Matt watched her walk away.

"You still excited?" Danny asked, causing Matt to look at him before leaving too.

"Cast and crew to the stage in five minutes." Danny said over the loud speaker.

XxXxX

Once everyone was gathered on the stage, Danny stood up on a chair and read Jack's memo aloud.

All of a sudden everyone began speaking at once.

"HEY!" Danny yelled, motioning with his hands for everyone to be quiet.

"How the hell did you do that?" Jordan asked, amazed that everyone had stopped talking.

"It's because I'm an excellent team leader and part of a great team." Danny said proudly….

"Danny!" Jordan sighed, signalling for him to go on.

"Huuum?"

"You were telling them about the camping trip…" Jordan reminded him.

"Jack thinks you all need to go away on this camping trip on Monday to improve your team spirit. Myself and Danny wish we could be there with you all, but, well we can't…" Interrupted Matt.

"Yeah, but be sure to have fun though." Added Danny, as he tried to leave the stage.

"Great pep talk guys. Way to show you're down on the whole team spirit thing." Jordan grabbed hold of Danny's arm to stop him from leaving.

"We will ALL be attending this trip, myself included. A coach will arrive at the studio on Monday morning to collect us." Jordan informed everyone.

"Does anyone have any questions before I go?" Jordan asked.

Matt raised his hand.

"Damn! I've just realised, I can't go. I can't sleep on the floor. I have a bad back, remember?" Matt reminded her, as he winced a little to emphasise his point.

"Oh really?" Jordan asked, slightly irritated with Matt.

"Yeah, It's a shame. It would have been fun." Matt said, trying to hide the grin that was forming, as he lay down on the cold stage floor, tucking his hands behind his head, crossing his legs and looking up at the ceiling., happy that he might have gotten away with it.

"I don't think so Albie!" Jordan said, shaking her head.

"But what if I get a note from my mom?" He asked.

"No!"

"Why do I have to go though?" Matt said, sitting up to look at her.

"The same reason why Danny has to go."

"Danny's only going because he's your boyfriend and he's scared of you."

"No I'm not!" Danny yelled from across the room.

"Danny, be quiet." Warned Jordan.

"But really, why do I have to go?" Grumbled Matt.

"You have to go because you're one of the executive producers, you're in charge here. You need to have a good connection with your team."

"I slept with two of them. Isn't that a good enough connection?"

"Hey!" Harriet and Jeannie said at the same time as Tom, who was trying to defend them.

"That's more..." Jordan started to reply to Matt's comment but stopped and looked at Tom questionably, but shock her head slightly and continued. "That's more reason to go."

"Yeah, I mean there are so many other people on the team that you haven't slept with..." Danny cut in sarcastically.

"Yeah, Matthew just think about it, you can't have people feeling left out." Harriet added.

Matt turned his gaze from Danny to Harriet and then to Jordan.

"You want me to sleep in a tent with these people?"

"Yes, for three days." She told him.

"You do realise one of us might not come out alive, right?"

"I'm willing to take that risk."

XxXxX

"I am so excited!" Exclaimed Tom.

"Aw that's cute." Lucy said as she played with Tom's hair.

"Yeah, I finally get to test out my Napier Sportz 8000 tent!" He replied.

"Ohh, is it big enough for two?" Lucy asked suggestively.

"Actually, its big enough for four-six small adults" Tom replied, then looked at the others. "So if any of you want to..."

"I think we'll find our own tents, thanks Tom." Harriet smiled.

"What? But..." He started before getting what Lucy meant. "Oh right, yeah... Sure!"

"Why don't we split up and have a girl's tent and a boy's tent?" Harriet suggested.

"That could be fun." Replied Jeannie.

"But won't you be frightened?" Simon asked, waving his arms around scarily.

"Of what?" Scoffed Jeannie.

"Of bears!!!" Simon and Tom said together.

"You do realise you can't keep any beauty products or food in the tent at night, right?' Simon explained.

"Why?" Lucy asked quietly.

"Because of the bears…" Simon replied, as if everyone should have known this already.

"Stop it Simon." Jeannie said, before giving him a small slap on the arm.

No one had noticed Danny stood in the doorway listening to their conversation. He was about to make his presence known but changed his mind when Simon mentioned bears. He turned and quickly headed upstairs.

He walked into Matt's office, seeing him pacing around looking as anxious as he was.

"Y'know there's going to bears as well as snakes on this trip, right?" Danny commented.

Matt stopped and looked at him. "What?"

"I just walked by the dressing rooms and they were saying about how food and stuff attracts bears." Danny explained. "So, there's going to bears as well as snakes."

"Yeah, whatever… Do you realise that Harriet is going to be there?" Matt moved onto his own problem.

"Sure." Danny shrugged. "But the snakes and bears, Matt."

"But the ex-girlfriend, Danny!"

They both stared at each other, trying to work out whose problem was worse.

"Yeah, okay I guess you win." Danny gave in and then looked deep in thought. "What we need is a excuse to get us out of this… something that won't get us in trouble and make us look good."

Matt looked at him curiously. "What are you thinking?"

"That we need to come up with a plan."

Matt rolled his eyes. "Yeah, thanks James Bond."

"Do I have to do all the hard work around here?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because I'm the funny one…" Matt replied.

"Yeah, whatever… We still have a show to put on for Friday."

"Okay, I'll do the show…you do the plan."

"Deal." Danny nodded turning and leaving the office as Matt sat down at his desk and started to type.
