The day of their departure finally dawned, the holiday makers gathered outside the ED awaiting their transport.

As the minibus pulled up connie decided she was taking charge.

"Alright everyone, bus is here. Everyone ready."

People nodded and began to file on. Tess and Charlie sat at the back. Dylan who, was now coming with them after Zoe had bugged him sat on the single seat across from them. Zoe and Max took the next pair of seats, and Robyn and Lofty sat across from them. And that just left connie and Rita. There were two seats left. Rita sat down and connie reluctantly sat next to her, the both decided they'd put past disagreements behind them for the sake of their colleagues and the holiday.

As they began to move a buzz of chatter arose. Every pair was engaged in their own conversation, all except connie and Rita. They both had earphones in and connie was busily checking her emails.

Tess and Charlie were busy looking through some photos that had been posted on Facebook a few years back. Dylan was busy reading a book. Robyn and lofty were having some kind of pen fight and now had blue lines all over their skin. Max and Zoe were cuddled together watching a film on Zoe's iPad that she had already pre downloaded.

As the journey to the airport bore on, Rita turned around in her seat so she could talk to lofty and Robyn behind her as connie was still reluctant to engage in any time of communication.

After a while they all decided to play a game of 'I went shopping and I brought...'

Zoe started.

"I went shopping and I brought some new shoes."

"Well now that's a shocker." Max butted in.

"Shut it you."

Next it was Max's turn.

"I went shopping and I brought some new shoes and a bunch of flowers."

Next it was Dylan's turn.

"I went shopping and I brought some new shoes, a bunch of flowers and a pen."

Then it was Tess's turn.

"I went shopping and I brought some new shoes, a bunch of flowers, a pen and a clock."

Charlie was next.

"I went shopping and I brought some new shoes, a bunch of flowers, a pen, a clock and some hair dye."

The bus burst out in laughter.

Robyn had a turn next.

"I went shopping and I brought some new shoes, a bunch of flowers, a pen, a clock, some hair dye and a bed."

Then lofty had his go.

"I went shopping and I brought some new shoes, a bunch of flowers, a pen, a clock, some hair dye, a bed and a hair brush."

Finally Rita had her turn.

"I went shopping and I brought some new shoes, a bunch of flowers, a pen, a clock, some hair dye, a bed, a hair brush and some happy pills."

She directed her gaze at connie and everyone giggled. Connie lifted her head and looked less than impressed.

"Will all of you grow up. I do not appreciate having to sit on a minibus with you lot playing silly, childish games."

Everton fell silent, but couldn't help bursting into fits of laughter.

"Oh lighten up connie, this is meant to be a fun holiday. Let us enjoy ourselves and if you stopped being so uptight maybe you could to." Dylan said.

Connie let herself smile a little. Maybe she did need to let loose and enjoy herself once in a while.

"So Max, I forgot to ask you what exactly is this holiday in aid of?." Connie questioned.

"Well you see I thought we could all do with a break and time to build bonds away from the hospital. To put our differences behind us and be free for a few days. But that's just the half of it, I've got a big surprise planned."

Zoe turned to face him better.

"Max, this better not be one of your stupid plans again. I swear I will not be responsible for my actions otherwise."

"Don't worry princess, I'm sure you'll love it."
