A/N: In this chapter, Teams are picked, routes are planned and arguments unfold, sorry if it's bad, enjoy!
"Team name suggestions, Go!" It was Puck's team, consisting of Santanna, Britney, Quinn, Tina, Mike and Joe the poor kid had no friends and Quinn felt bad for him, so he had to tag along. "Unicorns," Britney suggested, shrugging her shoulders, "They're pink and fluffy, and lord tubbington thinks that Quinns a unicorn like me and Tanna, so it's 3 against 2." She fist bumped the air as Santanna giggled next to her at the offended look on Quinns face, this was bound to be a fun trip.
"Can I bring my moisturisers? What about hairspray?" "yeah and what about my hair gel?" Finn Laughed at his brother and his brothers boyfriend, which earned him a dagger look from Kurt. In team 2 it was Blaine, Kurt, Finn and Rachel, the smallest group of them all. Kurt really didn't want to be with Rachel, but his brother was really taking his protector role seriously, and he had to suffer. "No, we have to embrace nature! It's the whole point, you cannot ruin nature with your sprays, so that means no aerosols at all, okay?" Everyone, including Finn, gave Rachel an evil glare and began talking about their team name, they was in for a long trip.
"Guys, I'm sorry you'll have to put up with my wheelchair," Artie shrugged. His team replied with "no it's fine" and "It's not your fault were being forced to go!" This team consisted of Artie, Mercedes, Sam, Rory and Sugar, probably the most mismatched group of them all. "come on, let's go and tell Mr Schue our team!" Mercedes piped up, but no one bothered to actually leave their seats.

"So, Team Names and who they consist of!" Mr Schue had noticed the groups had been made, but since no one had even bothered to come and tell him, he just got them to shout it out instead. "Team Bam, because our only other suggestion was Unicorn..." Britney smiled to herself, she had come up with the other name too. Puck continued, "It's me, Santana, Britney, Quinn and Joe." Mr Schue wrote down their team, and gave a knowing look at Rachel, who was eager to let everyone know she was the team leader, and she had also come up with the name. "Team Star!" she exclaimed, earning a few eye rolls. "My team consists of me, Finn, Kurt and Blaine, with me as team captain!" Kurt let out a breath of anger and gave Blaine an annoyed look, Blaine just simply rubbed his arm and tried to hold back his laugh. "Rachel, there's no team captains, your all a team together, okay?" Mr Schue knew she'd take control, and that there was no stopping her, but he had to try. Rachel's smile faded as she leant back in her seat, why couldn't she ever get what she wanted, she thought to herself. "and finally, Sugar?" Mr schue ignored Rachel's glare and turned to look at the final group. "Team Win, because we're the best." Sugar seemed happy with the name, mostly because she chose it, but her team mates seemed a little embarrassed. "it's me, Mercedes, Tina, Mike, Sam, Rory and Artie!" she exclaimed jazz hands and all. Mr Schue just raised his eyebrows and handed out the maps.
LINEBREAK
"22 miles per day is a little too much right?" Joe questioned, but he seemed to be the only one actually doing any work. Puck was playing a game on his phone, Quinn was filing her nails, Brittany was counting her fingers, after exclaiming she had 13, and Santanna was laughing at her girlfriend with raised eyebrows. "Guys seriously we need to do this!" Joe shouted, which caught his teams attention. "Fine, what do we need to do?" Quinn asked, leaning forward and looking at the map. "Each day we walk away from our camp and then back, minimum of 22 miles a day and a different route every day, so first we need to find our campsite on the map then begin planning." Joe looked up at his group, who all had shocked expressions on their faces, "22 miles!" Santanna looked outraged, "I know, but we've got to do it!" With that, the group began planning their routes for the 2 weeks, but with 14 days to plan, routes began to get harder.
LINEBREAK
Team Star was a completely different story, Finn was falling asleep in his chair, Kurt and Blaine were giggling at what the other was saying, and Rachel was planning all of the routes by herself, claiming she was amazing at it, and that she didn't need any help. She was up to day 10 when Finn woke up, and claimed that he wanted to help her to stop himself falling asleep. "Rach, can I plan a day?" "No! I am capable of doing it myself, you can watch, but if you stand in the light or get in my way, you have to go away!" It took Finn 2 minutes to break both of those, and he was sent to go and sit with Blaine and Kurt, who were talking about their date that night, Finn was so bored.
LINEBREAK
On team win however, everyone was at work. Each team member was assigned a different job to speed up the process. With Tina and Mike planning the route, Artie was writing down directions in case the map got hard, Sugar and Rory were Writing down things such as 'church' and 'train station' for each step, so they always knew they weren't lost, whilst Sam and Mercedes wrote a schedule of who would navigate when, who would hold the compass when and who would make sure the group wasn't lost, all was going well in their group and everyone was organised.
LINEBREAK
With all routes planned, piles of paper were left on the table for Mr schue to examine and make sure no one was cheating, he really wasn't looking forward to that. "Okay, I'll check over those later, but now I want to talk about tents, it's two, three and four to a tent, No sleeping with members of the opposite gender, and definitely no sleeping with your partners, okay?" Everyone gave Mr Schue a disbelieving look, couldn't he trust them? "Look it's just the rules, not my fault! So, to prevent any arguments and time wasted, I will choose who will be in what tent!" The group all sighed, they all knew they'd be with someone from their team, but they also knew Mr Schue would put them with someone they least got on with in the team, this trip was about bonding anyways. "Okay, so in Tent One is Puck, Brittany and Joe..." looks of confusion came from the teens in front of him, "But Britt's a girl, why is she in the boys tent?" Santanna was fuming, she obviously thought she'd get away with being in the same tent and Brittany, "Well you and Brittany are dating, so you can't share the tent can you? And you and Quinn need to get along, so you'll be sharing the tent whilst Brittany goes with the boys." All of the clubs hopes were lost, that's it, they weren't going to be with anyone they liked. "Okay, Team star, In one tent will be Kurt and Rachel..." "NO! There's no way I am sharing a tent with her!" Kurt interrupted, but was immediately calmed by Blaine's arm wrapping round his waist, "see Kurt, you and Rachel also need to get along, and that's why you're going together." Rachel smiled and went to hug Kurt, but he simply held his arm out and shook his head, she retreated to Finn's side. "Obviously then, Finn and Blaine will be sharing a tent," This earned a fist bump from the two, they may not have gotten on earlier in the year, but that was forgotten, at least one tent would be argument free. "As for Team win, in one tent will be the girls, Mercedes, Tina and Sugar, and in the other tent will be Rory, Artie, Mike and Sam, okay?" Seeing as this was the most civilised group of them all, only nods were exchanged, as for the other groups, fuming looks spread across their faces. "Look, it's just for sleeping in, you can go to anyone's tent in the evenings and mornings, as long as it's before 10pm and after 6am, got it? Okay, Well I guess I'll see you all soon!" The club disbanded their separate ways, Kurt taking Blaine's hand and leading him to his car, Santanna and Brittany walking towards Santanna's car and the rest of the groups to their own car's, Mr Schue returned to his office to look over the maps. With only a few corrections to do, mostly from Brittany's where she was taking her team through rivers and down main roads, the group was good to go.
