"Becs, are you ready? If we don't leave now, Aubrey is going to kill us" Stacie asked her best friend.

"Why are we doing this again? Or better question. Why did I agree to participate?" the shorter brunette whined.

"Because you're a Bella. Because Aubrey realised after your mini breakdown, that there is more than just being a Bella. Come on, it will be fun. We all could use a weekend away" Stacie answered.

Beca still couldn't believe how she ended up in this situation. Three weeks ago she was determined that the best thing was quitting the Bellas, now she was on her way to a bonding weekend with said Bellas.

A lot had happened in those three weeks, good things, but Beca still needed some time to adjust to the fact that she had now a lot of friends that were girls. After her conversation with Chloe, she had gone back to the Bellas. They all had welcomed her back. No one had asked any questions about why she had wanted to quit. Not even Fat Amy had asked any questions. She was sure Aubrey had something to do with it. That girl's deadly glares were enough to shut everyone up.

Just a week ago, the blonde had announced that they would go a weekend away to bond or some shit. Of course she had been against the whole idea of spending a weekend in a forest with her fellow Bellas, but naturally nobody listened to her complaints.

So here she was. Sitting in the Bellas bus between Chloe and Stacie. Or laying was more accurate. With her head in Chloe's lap and her feet in Stacie's, she was pretty comfortable. She had her headphones in to drown out the noise and to prepare for the weekend.

She wasn't exactly keen to share her secrets, but she knew that she couldn't escape that part. She didn't trust easily, but somehow she knew she could trust them all. Well, except maybe for Lilly. That girl still freaked her out sometimes after the six months she knew her. Deep in her heart she knew these girls wouldn't judge her. Each and every one of them had showed her that they cared about her. Deep inside she knew that they all would be friends for life.

After three and a half hours, that included two sanitary stops, they had finally reached their destination.

Acorn Camp was a retreat located in the middle of a forest. There was no WiFi and the mission of the retreat was to bring the groups of people that stayed here closer to each other. Without WiFi or other modern technology, people were forced to interact with each other. That way they would build bonds that lasted a lifetime. At least that is what the brochure of the retreat promised.

After Ashley had parked the bus, they gathered their belongings. Now they had to wait until their assigned counsellor, would come up to them and tell them what they were expected to do this weekend.

Impatiently they all waited. The drive here had made them all cranky and tired. A black haired woman came into their direction.

"That must be our counsellor for the weekend" Aubrey said as she pointed to the woman.

Beca almost fainted when the woman was close enough so that you could see her face.

"Hi, my name is Jenny. I'm your counsellor for the weekend. You must be the Barden Bellas."
