"Settle down! Quiet!" Harry wasn't being heard over the groups chatting, clearing his throat he shook his head, "QUIET!" this made everyone in the staffroom jump, followed by mutters of annoyance. "That's better. Now that I have your attention I want to discuss the issue of the Fundraiser."

"Why do we have to do it?" called out Josh. Laughs echoed round the group.

"Questions at the end please! As I was saying, this year we've opted for a Sports Day." he smiled at the looks on the gathered faces, "We've also made a programme of events, which goes like this." as he took a breath to begin, Harry was once again interrupted, not by Josh but by Kelsey.

"Who's We? Because they really need to think again!" this was followed by a number of agreements and grunts of disapproval.

"If you would let Harry explain, we might get somewhere!" said an impatient Tess, standing beside Harry.

"Yes, thank you Tess." he produced a pile of paper from behind him and begun handing them round the room, and the silly comments like "My My, we have been busy!" from Abs, and everyone had got a sheet he began to explain, "As you can see, there are a number of different races. Before finally, the big team relay."

A simultaneous "Woooooooooooooooooooo!" went round the room.

Harry rolled his eyes, his staff were behaving like kids again. Before he could continue Guppy put his hand up, "Yes Guppy?"

"What's 'The Oldies' and 'The Youfs'?" there was an almighty shuffling of paper as the others cottoned on to what he was on about.

"Ah yes. Now, the department has been divided into two teams, The Oldies and The 'Youfs'. These will be the two teams in the relay,"

"Who's in what team?" shouted someone that sounded like Comfort out.

"Well, that's kinda stating the obvious!" joked Nina, chuckling.

"The teams shall be as follows. In the Oldies will be, Me."

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!" went round the room,.

"Josh."

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!"

"Charlie and Tess."

Once again, they all cheered.

"Maggie. Who, is also appointed Captain of the team."

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!"

Maggie jumped up punched the air with her hands and shouted, "Come on!" before sitting back down in fits of laughter again.

"And Selena, being Maggie's second in command!"

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!"

Harry made a mental note not to call the names out slowly but to do them in one, it would be quicker, "The Youfs shall be, Abs, Nina, Kelsey, Sam, Alice and Guppy. Kelsey and Sam being the captins for their team!"

The group cheered on anyway.

"Right, now that's out of the way is there any questions you'd like answered?"

"What time do we start at?"
"What's the whole point?"
"Do we really have to do this?"
"Since when was I an oldie?"
"Can't it be a patients sports day?"
"Do we still get paid for taking part?"
"Why is Nina in the Youfs team?" Abs soon took back his words as Nina hit him over the head with a cushion.

"Do we have to wear shorts!" the group paused for a minute, puzzled by the randomness of the question that had just been asked. Looking around to see who asked it, they soon found out. Maggie and Selena were once again in stitches, receiving weird looks from everyone.

"What's wrong with them?" commented Harry, seeing his two best friends laughing together about some unknown joke.

"I don't know. When I spoke to them this morning they were going on about shorts too!" laughed Charlie.

"O-K!." Harry diverted the attention back to him, "Well, I think that's everything you need to know just now, more info will be given nearer the date! Back to work people!" there was a great shuffling of feet and scraping of chairs as the group dispersed, still moaning about the plans. Maggie and Selena were still chuckling as they left.

"I can tell this is going to be one heck of a sports day!" muttered Harry to himself as he cleared up the mess of abandoned bits of paper and cushions.
