The halls of Dalton Academy were mostly quiet. A relaxed silence covered the school like a blanket, the only sounds were relaxed conversations between it's inhabitants, and the occasional laugh. All was quiet, unless of course, you counted the choir room. There 10 very loud boys were all speaking much louder than usual to get the attention of their head counselor, who very calmly tried to hear what everyone had to say. He was a very athletic looking boy, with short black hair and quite a squared chin with a bit of an overbite. His two co-counselors sat beside him behind their desk, looking very calm and professional. One of them, a boy with shaggy light-brown hair had some paper and a few pens in front of him. The third one, a boy who was clearly part-Brazilian, was leaning back in his chair and seemed completely at ease.

"But what do we do now?"

"No more Gaps, I beg you!"

"Gentlemen, calm yourselves!" The head counselor quieted the teens sternly, but rather calmly. They all respected the senior counsel, partially because they were in charge, and partially because the counselors were all seniors, while most of the other warblers were juniors or sophomores. Most freshman were either not developed enough voice-vice to join, or they were too scared to, while most seniors were too busy. "Now, as you know, we lost Sectionals,"

"No freaking duuh!" The counselor was quite rudely cut off by one of the other warblers, who only earned himself a very strict look from mentioned counselor.

"Anyway, we have been offered a very special opportunity." Oswynn Ismena, the head counselor, continued, grinning at the other warblers, who didn't seem as excited by his statement.

"Oh god, not another nursing home! Please!"

"Or a Gap!"

"Just kill me now!"

"It's not like that," the tan boy continued, still smiling, although it was more strained this time. "A special championship is being held this year. It is quite like the ordinary show-choir competition, but this one, is exclusively for a Capella choirs!"

Most of the warblers seemed to be overwhelmed by the opportunity. Maybe they could get a trophy anyway. Some of the warblers, including the one that had cut Oswynn off earlier, immediately broke into huge grins.

"So, it's like a second shot at Sectionals?"

"And possibly Regionals, or even Nationals," the laid-back counselor chimed in, grinning at the other warblers, who were slowly realizing what an opportunity this was. Maybe they had lost the normal Sectionals, but that didn't matter much when they could get a second shot at it. Maybe they could go to Regionals, or even Nationals.

"Gentlemen," The head counselor said, calm smile still in place, looking over the other warblers. They truly were a curious bunch. From the long-haired twins, to Aaron with his hot pink streaked hair to the little doe-eyed Timmy, who somehow managed to both be shy and do community theatre. Of course there was also River, always the perfect image of self-control, the poster-boy for prep school. "Are we ready to do this?"

The room burst with shouts of "Yes, we can!", clapping and laughter. Nobody seemed to mind how limited the time before their Sectionals was, they were too glad to be given a second chance.

"And now we're going to Sectionals again in two weeks," Leon Alexander Charleston smirked at the three Chickadees, who sat across from him at their table at the Lima Bean. The girls went to Dobry Hall, Dalton's sister school, and wore uniforms matching those of the Dalton boys. Two of the girls looked like they could have been sisters, but he knew they weren't. Angel and Ellen both had curly brown hair, though Angel's had a bit of a reddish tint, and her bangs were straight and dyed red. It was mostly the hair that made them look alike, because where Ellen's features were quite pointed, Angel was rather baby-faced. None of the girls looked particularly impressed.

"Come on! You have to admit it's pretty awesome," Theodore chimed in, smiling brightly. Still, the girls didn't seem to want to show any enthusiasm, though Angel looked like she was about to start laughing.

"It would have been awesome, and annoying," the blonde girl, Addison replied, smirking. She was a junior, and one of the head chicks in the chickadees. Ellen was the lead, and Angel had just joined, due to her being a freshman. The three warblers looked curiously at the blonde. They were three quite different boys. Theodore's hair was jet black and messy, Leon's was also quite messy, but the color of milk chocolate, while River's blonde hair always stayed perfectly neat. "If we weren't going too."

"What?"

"You guys too?" Leon asked incredulously, looking at the three smirking girls. They nodded, looking rather pleased with themselves.

"I suppose it's on then," Theo smirked back.

"Oh, it's on!

Okay, I know this was very short, but I don't have time for more, because I leave tomorrow morning. I don't suppose there's all that much to say. When I get back I'll update as soon as I have another chapter ready. If you want you can always read my other story; "New Kids in Glee", some of the characters from that story will make guest appearances in this one, and vice versa.
