Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters...I don't know who does n/e more since Higher Ground was cancelled. N/e ways, please don't sue!!!
AN: Ok guys, this is my first ever fanfic so please be nice!!! (Please review!)...This idea is REALLY far fetched and probably would never happen, but it's just something I thought of while I was on an Outdoor Ed trip. It's sorta hard to explain, but here goes...Ok, imagine Shelby had never come back to Horizon after going home to take care of Walt. Her mom, her sister (Jess) and Shelby moved to Agnes to get a change of scenery after Walt goes to jail. The Morp happened, but Shelby wasn't there, and Scott never "left" Horizon. Kat has graduated and this is every1's last year at Horizon...Sorry this note is so long!!! (Don't worry all u S&S fans out there, this fic will eventually get S&S friendly...)(n/e thing in italics is what they are thinking)
Maybe Someday
Chapter 1 - A chance to re-adjust
The sun's last rays were sinking below the dark green tree line as Peter walked into the quiet lodge. He glanced around, searching the large room for his Cliffhangers. He smiled as he found them relaxing around the fire, talking amongst themselves.
Peter walked over to the small group and sat down in one of the armchairs that was facing his students.
"Hi Peter." Juliette said happily, smiling at Peter without moving her head from where it rested on Auggie's shoulder.
"Hi guys. It's good to see you're all relaxing!" The small group stopped talking and focused on Peter. Scott, who was sitting on a couch by himself, didn't lift his eyes from the blazing fire that was in the fireplace. Peter noticed this and decided to check in with him later. Ever since Shelby had left, Scott hadn't been himself. He hardly ever talked, and when he did, his words were empty and cold. "Well guys, since this is your last year here, Sophie and I have been trying to think of an assignment that would help you guys start to re-adjust to the real world." Peter said. The group moaned in unison and Peter rolled his eyes.
"Please not another hike Peter." Ezra groaned.
"Yeah, we've really had enough of those." Scott agreed, still not taking his eyes off the fire.
"Although I wish I could tell you guys that we won't be hiking, I can't." Again, the group moaned. "Yesterday I got a phone call from a teacher at Agnes High School. He is the head of the Outdoor Education class at his school, and he doesn't want to send his class on a trip until he is fully confident that they are prepared. He told me that he knows that we here at horizon have great equipment, and he was wondering if he could borrow it to prepare his students." Peter paused. "I agreed on one condition. That the equipment stays on Mt. Horizon property, and that my students, meaning you guys, train his how to use it." Again the Cliffhangers moaned.
"Isn't that a kind of dangerous plan?" Auggie asked.
"Yeah." Daisy agreed with Auggie. "Do you really think Mr. whatever-his-name-is should be placing the lives of his precious students in the hands of a group of problemed dysfunctional teens?" Daisy asked.
"Nice try guys, but you're not getting out of this one." Peter replied, smiling slightly. "All you guys have to do is-" Peter started
"Remember the lessons we've learned here at Horizon?" Scott finished sarcastically.
"Exactly." Peter chose to ignore Scott's sarcasm. At least he's listening to what I'm saying, Peter thought to himself, glancing at Scott. "The group will be coming up no Friday night, and will be going home on Sunday. Although we will be staying on campus, you will be sleeping in tents and cooking your food over the fire with the others."
"Great. Burnt fake food. I can't wait." Ezra said sarcastically. The group laughed, except for Juliette.
"C'mon guys, the food's not that bad." Jules insisted.
"How would you know? It's not like you ever eat." Scott stated angrily.
Auggie shot Scott a dark glare.
"Scott..."Peter scolded.
"Sorry." He muttered, almost under his breath. Juliette considered his apology for a few seconds.
"It's ok." She sighed, a sad look appearing in her eyes as she glanced at Scott. He had grown so much meaner recently.
"Now back to what I was saying." Peter continued. "The Outdoor Ed class will be split into two groups. You will also be split into two groups. A group of three and a group of two. I will tell you our groups once I've finished explaining the other details. I will be supervising one of the groups, and Sophie will be supervising the other. On Friday you will introduce yourselves to your groups, and you will spend the evening getting to know the members. On Saturday you will go on a hike in the morning, and then in the afternoon you will go on a short kayaking expedition. On Sunday you will go rock climbing in the morning and then there will be a little competition. One group against the other." Peter paused. "Any questions?" he asked calmly.
"What are our two groups?" Juliette asked excitedly.
"One group will be Juliette, Ezra and Auggie, the other will be Daisy and Scott."
Juliette squealed happily and hugged Auggie. Scott nodded at Daisy, who smiled slightly. Peter noticed and was happy he had put Scott with Daisy.
"This is going to be so fun!" she exclaimed. The other Cliffhangers rolled their eyes.
"Alright guys, that's it for tonight! Any more questions?" Peter glanced at each Cliffhanger to make sure no one had anything else to say. No one moved. "Alright then." He got up and was about to leave when he turned back to the group. "Uh, Scott, can I see you in my office please?" Scott nodded and followed Peter out of the room.
"I wonder what it's about this time." Ezra said quietly.
"Do you even have to wonder?" Daisy replied sadly as she watched Scott leave behind Peter. Daisy sighed, knowing what Peter wanted. It was the same as it always was recently...he wanted Scott to talk about Shelby. Daisy seemed to be the only one to realize that he would only talk when he got what he wanted: the goodbye that never came.
