So here is the second prologue of my remake. I changed some things but left the FB messages mostly unchanged, except for a few elements (e.g. I am sure at that stage of the show Sugar no longer used the torrette syndrome excuse).

So far Sam Evans was enjoying his summer. It was a warm late July and he was working for a small landscaping company in order to help his family out. Due to some luck or opportunity grasped at the right time, they were doing better. His father had taken a full-time job just outside of Limah and the family had moved back to town so they could live together again.
While Sam was doing his work of planting young trees his mind kept drifting to the time to come in a few weeks. With the seniors of New Direction gone he was sure that it was his time to shine in his own senior year at McKinley. When he had switched two years ago and someone would have told him that he would be a member of a Glee club and thereby risk getting slushies in his face time and again he would have called them crazy. But in hindsight, the last two years had been exciting for better and for worse, there was no doubt about that and with the New Directions winning Nationals things surely would be taking a turn for the better next year. At least he hoped so. He had some doubts whether the hype after their success would last and how the other popular clubs would react to them, first and foremost the Cheerios. To retain their new popularity the New Directions would have to step carefully and they could not afford to be internally divided. But with so many gone only him, Blaine, Tina, Britney and Artie remained of the "older" crowd - the rest were too new - and in that regard only Tina, Artie and Britney were there from the start and would have the strongest bond. But that would not be enough; the rest of the group would need that as well or they would have to start from scratch and do it all over again. And that was not a prospect Sam was looking forward to. So there was only that one way and since old ties aren't enough, new ones had to be created. Sam mentally slapped himself for practically repeating the thoughts to himself but then he got back on the matter at hand.
Sam was weighing the ups and downs of becoming Glee club leader himself, it would mean more control and more responsibility, and while the control sounded fine he wasn't sure whether he could handle the negative parts. But there weren't many other candidates. Artie had never expressed any desire to become club captain. Neither had Brittany and considered Sugar's ego it was clear that had she wanted to, she would have tried taking over Glee club a long time ago. Joe was too inexperienced and Rory was the same. With Tina he wasn't sure. She had often been the quiet one but you could see in her face a frustration of being pushed to the back so maybe she would want to be leader next year. And then there was of course Blaine, no doubt that he would try out. So maybe Sam could shun some responsibilities and be some sort of second in command. Should he want more responsibility he could still shift in the first few weeks of school year, enough time to test the waters. But before that he would need to think of a way to get the members that are already there as close together as possible, cement that social level and develop it further so that the club would no longer be the laughing stock of the school. When he had planted the last of the trees and looked at what would one day be a small forest inside a park an idea hit him.

Sam had laid down his plan in front of his parents and both had given their ok, albeit they had also said that it probably wasn't the best idea to ask his parents whether his idea was good. They had no problem with it but they weren't the people he planned to spend a full week with and they were his parents, they had seen all sorts of personality traits of his, nothing would shock them anymore, but his club friends were a different thing. That made Sam a bit nervous and he started worrying whether the other Glees would like his idea. However the fact that he had some basics secure already helped to get some of his spirit back. Sam's uncle owned some land a couple hours away from Lima. He used that land only during fall and winter on a regular basis for hunting, but outside of that time there was never anything more than some occasional fishing trip or maybe some barbecue.
The area would surely be good and provided enough for a week and with his knowledge from previous trips he would be a good guide. The land was mostly woods, sometimes thick, but mostly open with several great clearing ideal for camping. His favorite spot was an hour or so into the woods close to a mountainside. The spot was ideal in the summer heat due to the large pond right next to it that was fed by a river that fell into the pond in small water falls. His uncle had only two rules: no littering and no starting of fires, as long as those rules were kept they could do whatever they wanted during that time.

As soon as he had gotten the ok from all necessary members of his family Sam sent a group message on Facebook to all the returning New Directions and crossed his fingers that everyone would be able to attend.
Considering that waiting for responses would be stupid Sam started to make a list of things they would need during that time. Counting everything, food, drink, utensils for washing, cooking and sleeping this would cost, Sam felt stupid for not thinking that over sooner. Seems like his parents thought him to be smarter than he actually was. Just as he was starting to ponder about financial problems the sound of a message arriving brought his attention back to the computer. It turned out to be Tina: "Hey Sam, the idea sounds great! It's time to leave Limah outside of competitions. I know just what to pack and my parents have a tent and sleeping bags already. Plus lots of packed meat and cans that just scream 'take me to camping.' If there is anything I can do to help you with, let me know. My fingers and brain are aching for planning and working." Sam let out a breath of relief. With Tina being into it, they could be sure she would know how to handle every problem they could possibly encounter. Also the tone of her message made him stop in his thoughts and read it again. There was a difference in how she usually wrote and the mood delivered by her words spoke of energy and determination. Looked like he was right to assume that she planned to be the boss next year, which would surely be interesting. Perhaps that was why Mike had that grin on his face when he left, Tina must have shown him a new side of herself, one he apparently liked. Of course that backed the question why the two didn't really speak to each other at the send-off. Then again they looked too happy to be broken up, so what was going on?
Sam's mind started to come up with the first flashes of possible Mike-Tina scenarios when another message interrupted him. This time it was Brittany. "This sounds like a fun idea. I sleep outside in my back yard with the garden gnomes all the time. Count me in." He had to smile at her response, it was so Brittany. And with her doing sleeping outside all the time he had two people already that would like camping and so his plan seemed secure. It looked even more so when both Rory and Joe replied, albeit both only did it with a 'count me in.'

A couple of hours, and a few more episodes of pondering over what to do during trip, after Tina and Brittany, Blaine replied. "Camping out in the wilderness with lots of people and no inhibitions. Count me in. I'll bring the booze. :D Well to be serious. It sounds like a great idea. I have a tent on my own and I am sure I can manage some food, booze and other stuff. Let me know whether you need anything."
Sam was excited that now a guy had applied as well. This made him stop for a minute. He realized that unlike Kurt, whom he rather categorized as a girl, his brain recognized Blaine as a guy. Interesting.
Only minutes after Blaine had responded Sam got the message from Sugar. "Hey Sam, as much as sleeping in the woods sounds interesting, and I am always trying to experience new cultures. But I will have to turn down the offer. My daddy is taking me to Italy for a few weeks of back to school shopping before school starts up again. Sorry, Italian culture seems more exciting than a hillbilly. See you when school starts :)" Sam had expected to be disappointed to hear one of the New Directions not wanting to go camping but he was absolutely calm. He guessed that Sugar going camping was never something his subconscious would have considered plausible so that's why he was not in the least emotionally invested in her rebuff. That line of thought actually disturbed him a bit. Since when was he thinking stuff like that? He had never watched Dr. Phil or anything, didn't care about Oprah and tended to tune Schuster out when his useless speeches came up. Did he show side effects of not having gotten laid in some time? Once again Facebook brought him out of his current pondering, did the New Directions have some sort of sixth sense now for that? This time the message was from Artie. "Hey Sam, thank you for inviting me, but unfortunately camping in a wheelchair is not an easy thing to do. And my model is not suitable for rough terrain and forested areas. But don't worry we will have plenty of time to hang out once you guys get back." That message left Sam with a bad feeling in his gut. Simply forgetting that Artie would not be able to go camping was not speaking well for Sam's skills as co-captain or even captain of the club. And the way the message was written Sam thought that Artie was mostly being polite and actually angry at Sam for not thinking about that. If he wanted to contribute to a cohesive group Sam would need to be more perceptive to those things. Realizing he could do nothing about this problem now Sam decided it was best to inform the others.
He got on his event and edited the information:´br "Hello guys, I am thrilled that so many of you want to go camping. I will send you the details for the trip over the next two days to keep you up to date. I am sorry for those of you who could not make it and promise to make it up to you once school starts and we will rule the grounds with our new fame."
Sam went to bed afterwards and the next morning he found several 'likes' under his event. Things started very promising.
