AN: So here is the next part of the story. The scavenger hunt is being broken up over a few chapters. I want to give a huge thanks to inuharrytwiclique for the song suggestions to use for this part of the story, coming up some fabulous suggestions to make the story better, and above all else, being my beta.

Also I don't own the songs, they all belong to the studios that recorded them and the artists that originally performed them. I only borrowed them. For the longer songs, I am only using the first verse and the chorus.

Chapter 6

The Scavenger Hunt, Part 1

-Finn-

Today is finally the big day! Finn thought as he went through his room getting ready for school. Today is going to be the glee clubs time to shine!

Finn sat down on his bed as pulled on the under pants to his Batman costume. He decided to take Jason's advice and just wear black under armor since the shirt with the costume was just a little too small for Finn. Now, Finn was running through the house in the tight clothing, heading to the kitchen for breakfast before he put the rest of the "armor" on.

When Finn got to the kitchen, Carole was just setting down a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon, while Kurt was picking up his place, already dressed from head to toe in his Robin costume, that Finn had to admit made Kurt even sexier, especially when the fork fell from Kurt's plate to the floor, and Kurt then bent over to pick it up. Finn then had to look away and control his breathing.

"I will be home, when you guys get off from school, so please bring everyone over, so that I can take pictures." Carole said as she looked at Kurt.

"I understand, we'll all be here until we have to go in for the scavenger hunt anyways." Kurt said. "Finn move faster or we're going to be late."

Finn practically inhaled breakfast, and ran up to his room and finished putting on his costume. Finn grabbed his back pack and then trudged down the stairs and met Kurt at the front door.

Kurt had a raised eyebrow as if to say 'damn'. Finn just smiled at him. "I'm ready bud."

Kurt led the way out the door to his Navigator. They made it to school, in record time and with no problems from the jocks. Through the day, it became known that the football team was the Cincinnati Bengals, the hockey kids were the Columbus Blue Jackets, and weirdly enough Sue turned her beloved Cheerios into the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.

But the school was a buzz with excitement for the scavenger hunt that would begin later that day. Amazingly certain teachers just let the kids do what they wanted in class that day. So the glee kids talked amongst themselves in class.

At lunch Mr. Shue had the kids perform for the teachers a few Halloween songs. But before they knew it, school was out early for the scavenger hunt and the whole Glee club was at Kurt and Finn's along with Mr. Shue.

Carole had the camera ready and took a lot of pictures. By the time what seemed like the 100th photo, Finn started to complain. "Mom, you've taken enough pictures to fill a whole picture album already!"

Carole laughed. "Finn, behave besides you might want to share these with everyone."

The whole club was gathered in the family room where Carole had put everyone in for pictures.

Sam looked at the clock, "Well, we'd love to stay for more pictures, Mrs. Hudson, but we got 15 minutes to get back to the school for check in at four o'clock."

With that the club was quickly shooed out of the door by Mrs. Hudson. Once everyone was loaded up in Kurt's Navigator, and Puck's car they moved to the school with Mr. Shue behind them.

Artie elected to stay in the car as the group gathered around Kurt's Navigator. Finn left with Mr. Shue, Puck, Kurt, and Rachel to go register. They waited in line for a moment before they were allowed to approach, a young lady at the register table. She smiled at them as they small group came up. "Hello, and which club are you guys?"

"We're the Glee club." Mr. Shue said.

The gal nodded and she shuffled through a packet for a minute, before she came to a stop and looked up. "Alright, are you the club advisor?"

"Yes, I am." Mr. Shue said. She wrote that down.

"Okay I need the names of the club captains and drivers. Also I will need all of the names of everyone on your club team and their costume."

"I am Captain of the Glee Club." Rachel said. "I am Talia al Ghul from Batman."

"I am Finn Hudson, co-captain." Finn said. "I am Batman."

The gal wrote down the information and looked up at Kurt and Puck.

"I'm Kurt Hummel, I will be one of the drivers, and I am Robin." Kurt said.

"I'm Noah Puckerman, I'm also a driver, and I am Joker." Puck said.

The gal nodded her head then looked up. "And the others in the club are?"

Finn looked at Rachel. Then he looked at the gal at the table. "The other members are: Mike Chang as Two-Face, Sam Evans as Scarecrow, Josh Ashwoods as Commissioner Gordon, Artie Abrams as Riddler. Then we got Brittany Pierce as Bat Girl, Santana Lopez as Batwoman, Quinn Fabray as Harley Quinn, Tina Cohen-Chang as Poison Ivy, and Mercedes Jones as Catwoman."

The gal finished writing down the information. She then turned and started going through a plastic tub that was sitting next to her. After a moment of looking, she grabbed and a manila envelope and handed it to Finn. "How this works is that at five, Sue Sylvester will announce that you all may open the envelope. In the envelope will be the first business clue that you will have.

"Once you figure out where your group needs to go, proceed to that business. Once there you will need to go into the business and look for a booth that the store manager will be sitting at with a task that you have to complete, before you get that businesses token, which for the Glee club is a music note, and the clue to the next business that you need to go to."

Finn nodded. "Our advisors can come with us, right?"

That gal smiled sadly. "No advisors may not participate, it might come across that they helped since they know where all the locations are."

Finn and the others turned to Mr. Schue. He looked a little uncomfortable. "I will see you guys at the finish line. You guys make me proud tonight!"

Puck led the small posse back over to his and Kurt's car, where Sam was apparently telling really corny Halloween jokes.

"So what kind of an instrument does a skeleton play?" Sam asked as he looked around the group for an answer.

"I don't know, Sam, I think I speak for everyone when I say we give up." Santana said in a bored voice as she adjusted her gloves.

"He plays a trombone!" Sam said with his excited face.

Everyone seemed to groan at the horrible joke. Finn saw that Quinn was trying really hard not to roll her eyes.

Kurt took Finn's hand. Finn looked down and kissed him on the forehead. "So this is going to be an interesting night."

Kurt nodded. "Indeed it shall be. I wonder what we're going to be doing."

Finn smiled. "I'm not sure, but I'm glad that I'm doing it with you and our friends."

Kurt blushed and moved to hug Finn. Then Artie called out from the Navigator. "Hey, where's Mr. Shue?"

"He can't join us on our adventure tonight, because he knows all the locations, and the school board would think that he helped us. So he's going to wait for us at the finish line." Puck said.

"So is that our list of clues?" Quinn asked as she pointed to the envelope in Finn's hand.

"Yep, it is." Finn said. "But it's only one clue. Once we figure out this one, then we have to go to that business and look for a booth in the store where the store manager will be waiting for us. We will then have to complete a task, and then we get a plastic music note saying that we completed that store's assignment, and then we get the next clue."

"Oh that sounds like fun!" Mercedes said.

"I wonder what kind of tasks we have to do." Tina wondered aloud.

"Well let's hope that they're not overly complicated." Josh said.

"I'm sure that it's not. It shouldn't be anything more complicated than what we've learned in our classes now at school. So they might have the tasks be related to what we've been learning so far this year in our different subjects." Rachel said.

The group continued to discuss all the different things that they might have to do. The conversation covered everything from carving a pumpkin, to telling more of Sam's corny Halloween jokes. Finn finally looked at his cell phone and noticed that it was 4:59 pm.

"Shh, guys. We're starting." Finn said, just as Sue's bullhorn ripped through the parking lot.

-Kurt-

"Alright you ridiculously dressed hoodlums, that we apparently call our students. You may open up those tedious little envelopes and you may begin the scavenger hunt." Sue said. "And if you all think that this little event is hard, try throwing water balloons at a herd of sharks, now that's hard."

Finn handed the envelope to Kurt. "Kurt, you open it."

Kurt took the envelope and opened it and pulled out a note card. On the note card were some typed words. Kurt then held up the card and read what was on it. "To start, your group needs to head to a store that is famous for its Thanksgiving Day parades."

Everyone looked at Kurt expecting him to say more. Finally Mike spoke up. "Does the card say anything else?"

Kurt flipped it over and shook his head. "Nope, there isn't."

"Well that's just great, how are we supposed to figure this out?" Santana asked slightly irritated.

"Kurt, could you repeat the clue please?" Rachel asked.

Kurt repeated the clue. Everyone stood still contemplating for a minute.

Kurt heard Mercedes muttering to herself. Kurt continued to think. What store is famous for Thanksgiving Day parades? The only Thanksgiving Day Parade that I know of is the Macy's…OH!

Kurt snapped his head up. "The answer is Macy's!"

Everyone looked at Kurt for a minute like he was eating a can of whip cream out of a can. "A store that is famous for their Thanksgiving Day Parades, Macy's. Because what do you watch on Thanksgiving but the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade."

"Now that we've got that figured out, let's get our butt's over there!" Puck said.

Soon enough, everyone was piled into the cars, with Kurt leading the way to Macy's. After a ten minute drive across town, Kurt and Puck pulled into the Macy's parking lot and unloaded, with Finn pushing Artie into the store.

It wasn't hard to find the booth considering it was just inside the doors. The Glee club walked up to the booth and Rachel stepped forward. "Hello, we're the McKinnly High School Glee Club, and you were our first clue on the scavenger clues."

The store manager smiled and stood up. "Welcome, now, for the task that you guys have to do is sing a song. You will have to sing a song at each of businesses you go to tonight."

The kids all looked at each and smiled. But the store manager continued. "The school board has already preselected the songs for you kids to sing. So the first song for you guys tonight is to sing the theme to the Addam's Family."

"Alright, let's sing this as a group guys." Finn said and they all took a set of positions, before they started to sing.

They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The Addams Family.

Their house is a museum
Where people come to see 'em
They really are a scream
The Addams Family.

(Neat)
(Sweet)
(Petite)

So get a witches shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on
We're gonna pay a call on
The Addams Family

They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The Addams Family

(Strange)
(Deranged)
The Addams Family

After they finished the store manager smiled again. "Congratulations guys, I now shall give you your Macy's music note. And here is the envelope with the clue card to your next stop."

Quinn went forward and retrieved the items as the group thanked the store manager and left out the front door.

Brittany was looking over Quinn's shoulder. "So where are we going next?"

Quinn opened the envelope, took out the card and read aloud. "This huge store chain is best known for a little coin. Though remember James Cash"

All the guys seemed to frown at the clue. Puck seemed to be less than thrilled with it. "This clue is just about as helpful as the last one."

Rachel how ever took a brighter stance to things. "Actually we know that it's talking about a little coin. The two smallest coins are pennies and dimes. Though I am not sure how James Cash fits into it."

"You said pennies and dimes right, Rachel?" Mercedes asked.

"Yeah."

"Quinn may I see the card?" Mercedes asked, as Quinn handed her the card. "It's just as I thought."

"What?" Santana asked.

"The next store that we need to go to is JC Penny." Mercedes said.

The guys all looked surprised. Puck asked. "May I ask how you came to that?"

"It's simple, Puck. A little coin, well that would be a penny as Rachel pointed out already. James Cash, was the guy that originally started the store chain. So his initials are JC." Mercedes explained.

"Oh." Puck said.

Again everyone loaded up in the cars and then headed to their next destination. Then they drove back to the other side of town and headed into the store where they again didn't have to venture to far into the store to find the booth.

They were greeted by a woman this time. Her smile could brighten up a whole room with how she was clearly excited to see them. Finn stepped forward this time. He noticed that her name tag read Clara. "Hello, we're the Glee Club, here for our task."

"Alright the song that you need to sing is from Panic at the Disco's It's Almost Halloween." Clara said.

"I'll sing this." Sam said.

"I'll do it too." Finn said. Again the club moved to the side and let Finn and Sam get ready to sing. Clara hit play on a boom box and music filled the air.

Sam:

I'm carving pumpkins
It's almost Halloween
And all my friends are wondering
What they're gonna be

The Monster Mash is playing
You're moving to the beat
And now we're gonna teach you
To do the Trick-or-Treat

Finn:
Everybody scream
Everybody scream
It's almost Halloween
Do the Trick-or-Treat
Do the Trick-or-Treat
It's almost Halloween
Everybody scream

After they finished the song, Clara was laughing with the rest of the club at Finn and Sam's impromptu dance that they did with the song.

"Thank you guys, here is your JC Penny Music note and your next clue card." Clara said as she handed the items to Santana. Again the group moved to where they were outside again as Santana ripped open the envelope.

Santana read the card and made a disgusted face before she read it aloud. "Square the 8th and 18th letter of the alphabet and proceed to this business."

"Are all the clues going to be this vague?" Mike asked.

"I guess we'll find out as we do them." Tina said. "At least we've figured out two of the clues."

"Thank heavens for small favors." Mercedes said.

"Square the 8th and 18th letters of the alphabet, I don't get it." Rachel said.

"Anyone got a calculator?" Finn asked.

"Wait, what are those letters in the alphabet?" Artie asked.

Everyone was quiet for a moment before Puck spoke. "Number eight is the letter H and the 18th is R. So we have H and R for letters."

"But we have to square them though." Rachel said.

Artie was quiet for a moment. "Not really, Rachel. What are other forms of a square?"

Rachel frowned. "I don't understand, Artie."

Kurt leaned into Finn. "I think that it's amazing that Rachel's stumped."

Finn snorted with a little laughter. Rachel glared at them. Artie had a smile on his face. "Other forms of a square are a box, a cube, a block."

Rachel held up her hands. "Artie, I don't follow where you are going with this."

Artie's smile got bigger. "Our next stop is H and R Block."

There was another collective silence among the group. Sam spoke up. "Artie, are you sure?"

"I'm almost positive that is where we need to go." Artie said as he wheeled himself to Kurt's Navigator.

Finn shrugged his shoulders. "I say let's try it, and if not then we can think some more on it."

So again they all piled into the vehicles, and traveled to H and R Block. Once there Finn ran in to make sure that this was indeed the correct business. After a moment, Finn was came running back and waving his arms.

Kurt turned off the ignition. God, I love it when he's being a cute idiot.

So the gang unloaded again and went in. They were met by a man named Dave as he held the door to let them all in.

Dave smiled as he followed them in through the door. "Hello, and what group are you guys from McKinnly?"

"We're the Glee Club." Brittany said as they waited for the song to sing.

Dave smiled again. "Well I've heard that you kids are good singers, so I am looking forward to hear you guys sing one of my favorite songs. So you guys need to sing The Monster Mash by Bobbie Picket."

Josh stepped forward. "I got this one guys, though girls would you all back me up please?"

The girls all nodded and all the guys moved to one side with the exception of Josh and the girls stood behind him. Dave hit play on a boom box and the song started.

Josh:

I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

Girls and Josh alternate lines:

He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash

By the end of the performance, Dave was ecstatic about the performance and he handed the music note to Puck as well as the next clue card. Again the group shuffled out of the business to stand in the parking lot as Puck opened up the next envelope.

Puck held the clue card and read aloud. "This restaurant chain won a 2006 Veggie Award for their sandwich."

Again the momentary quiet settled over the group but Finn had a big smile on his face. "That one's easy."

"Really, and what makes you say that?" Tina asked.

Finn smiled. "If it's one thing I know, it is food."

Kurt muttered loudly. "I should know it always seems to be in your mouth other than me."

Everyone turned and stared at Kurt. Kurt then realized how it sounded and turned six shades of red from embarrassment. Kurt glanced at Finn and noticed that his cheeks seemed to be red too. Kurt thought. Oh just strike me dead now that was totally embarrassing and I didn't need to give everyone that mental image.

Sam cleared his throat. "So, umm, uh, that was a bit awkward."

Puck scoffed. "I think a bit awkward doesn't even begin to cover that. I really don't want to know what Finn and Kurt do behind closed doors."

"Puck, please be quiet. There are a few of us that wouldn't mind details." Santana said as she looked from Finn to Kurt. "Besides I stand by what I told you, Puck. The three of you would make an extremely hot threesome."

OH! MY! GOD! Kurt thought. This is really too much right now. And I'm almost positive that Puck is just as embarrassed as me and Finn.

Finn seemed to recover first. "Anyway we need to go to Subway."

"Why do we need to go to Subway, Finn?" Rachel asked as she seemed to be getting into diva mode.

"Right now I don't care." Mercedes said. "I just don't want to stand here and continue this very awkward conversation."

Everyone murmured agreement and started to load back up in the cars Kurt took Finn to the side. "I'm sorry I didn't mean for that to sound the way it did."

Finn nodded. "Yeah, I know. I'm just more bothered by what Santana said."

Kurt nodded in agreement. "I'm glad that makes two of us."

Finn leaned down and gave Kurt a quick peck on the lips and moved to get into the Navigator. Kurt got in as well and started it up and headed out to their next destination on the scavenger hunt.
