I know this chapter is a little short, but thee wasn't a lot I could do with it. The next (and probably final) chapter will be longer, I promise!
Disclaimer: I can't be bothered to do a disclaimer any more...NOT MINE!
In the confusion caused by Wes and Shelton deactivating the lights and opening the shutters, we managed to escape, and they followed shortly afterwards.
"That was intense," Hi remarked once we were safely back in the RV, "and not in a good way."
"Whatever. Let's just be glad we made it out." Ben responded.
All eight of us had escaped unscathed, by some miracle. Now there was only a few hours and a lot of road between us and home. Between the Warblers and a cure.
We were silent for a few moments, reflecting on our escape, until Wes realized something.
"I dropped Gabriella." Seeing our blank looks, he added "The gavel."
"You named it?" Hi laughed.
"It's Warbler tradition."
"Yeah, sure."
"Hi, I am not in love with Gabi, so will people PLEASE STOP SAYING THAT!" This, of course, only made Hi snort louder. Honestly, we were all laughing at this point. "And now she's gone and-" Coop barked suddenly, dropping something at Wes's feet.
"Gabi! Oh, thank God!" He hugged the wooden hammer close.
"Wavel." Blaine announced. "Back at Dalton, we all shipped it."
"Yeah, then we got sidetracked by Klaine." David added.
"Speaking of Klaine-"
"I prefer Kurt CoBlaine." Shelton interrupted.
"It's Klaine." David glared at his cousin, before carrying on. "Speaking of Klaine, what's the deal with you guys now?"
The two exchanged sappy looks. "We're working on it." Kurt answered for both of them.
"Hey!" Hi turned up the radio. "It's our theme song!" He launched (badly) into the first verse, with the rest of us singing backup. Things were going to be just fine.
We drove on towards South Carolina, Morris Island, LIRI, and home.
I know what my choice for the Virals theme song is, but feel free to insert your own!
