The ride back from the mini putting place was a loud one. They all had a great time. The worst part was that because of their large group, they had to split in half. The mini putting place was huge and outdoor, unlike anything they'd all had ever seen. It was a huge mountain with 16 holes. It was elaborate and large and fun. And hot, they were out in the blazing heat and no one brought water. So by hole 10, they were all sweaty and tired.
As for the scores, Blaine won for his group and Beiste won for her group. Overall, Blaine got the highest score. And Santana got the lowest.
"It was fun. I've never tried it before, so I wanted to" She had said with a shrug when it was announced.
Now it was almost five o'clock. Mini putting with 19 people took a while.
So now, they were all in the bus, driving down the long road.
"Hey, everyone!" Emma called, standing up a bit so the teens could see her. Their loud voices died down and they stared at her.
"Who's hungry?" Emma asked with a smile. Everyone raised their hands and a chorus of 'Me!'s were heard throughout the bus.
"Okay, so everyone is. So for dinner, we're gonna go out again. This time to a place that doesn't poison us." Everyone laughed and Tina blushed.
"So, I think we've found a great place, right?" Emma looked to Shelby for confirmation.
"Yes we do" Shelby smiled and bobbed her head up and down.
"So, once again, it's more fancy so get change and we'll go within half an hour of our arrival at the condos" Emma said she looked at the teens.
"Super" Brittany nodded.
"Okay then" Emma nodded and sat back down in her seat as their loud conversations started up again.
Their bus pulled into the teacher's driveway. The riders all got off the bus and faced each other with the largest of smiles.
"So get changed and stuff. See you in about half an hour" Will said, shutting the bus door.
"Okay" they all chorused and walked off to their condos.
The girls unlocked their door and ran up the stairs as fast as they could.
"Need...waaaaater!" Mercedes said, overdramatically. Tina, who had been first up the stairs, dashed to the fridge, and threw open the door so fast she was sure it was going to fall off. Sugar, who was second up the stairs, flung the cupboard doors open and grabbed all the rainbow plastic cups. Tina pulled out the pitcher of water and poured water into all the glasses, spilling water in the process.
"Oops" Tina giggled as more water fell onto the table.
"Doesn't matter, just pour!" Santana urged, as her glass was still empty. Finally, all the girls got all the water they needed, if not more.
"I drank too mu-Hic!" Quinn hiccupped. The girls laughed.
"I gotta go pee!" Sugar announced as she ran out of the kitchen.
"How do you-hic!-stop hiccups?" Quinn asked, covering her mouth with her hand.
"Um...a spoonful of sugar?" Rachel suggested.
"No, that helps the medicine go down!" Brittany said in a knowing tone.
"What?" Santana looked at her, a bit shocked at her randomness.
"You know!" Brittany took a quick breath. "A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, the medicine go down-own, the medicine go down, just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, in a most delightful way!" Brittany sang happily, totally oblivious to the odd stared she was getting.
"Oh, from Mary Poppins!" Rachel smiled.
"What the heck?" Santana asked. "Poppy who?"
"Mary Poppins!" Rachel said.
"Look, how is this-hic!-going to help me with my-hic!-hiccups?" Quinn asked with a frustrated tone.
"Here" Mercedes said. She had gotten a large spoon and scooped a large pile of sugar on to it and was holding it out to Quinn.
"But that's brown sugar!" Rachel said, frowning at the spoon.
"That's really racist" Brittany said sadly.
Mercedes smirked at Rachel. "It's 'cause I'm black, right?"
"What? No! I just meant the sugar isn't normal white sugar. Will it still work?" Rachel said, even though she knew Mercedes was only joking.
Mercedes laughed at Rachel. "I couldn't find the white sugar. But I don't know. Just try!"
Quinn took the spoon and carefully put it in her mouth.
"Well?" Santana asked.
"I think it worked...hic!" Quinn said. "Whoops, never mind-hic!"
"Ugh, try holding your breath!" Tina said. Quinn did until her face turned a bit purple to match the tank-top she wore.
"Did that work?" Brittany asked.
"Hic! No..." Quinn frowned.
"I am back! What did I miss?" Sugar announced as she skipped into the room to see the girls all crowded around Quinn.
"Us failing at trying to cure Quinn's hiccups" Rachel said. She glanced at Sugar. "Got any ideas?"
Sugar grinned "Well..."
As for the boys, after the girls and the teachers had walked off to their condos, they were about to go inside.
"I am soooo thirsty!" Sam said.
"Well, here. This'll help" Puck gave Sam an evil grin.
"What?" Sam was confused.
Puck turned, grabbed the green garden hose that was coiled up near the side of the condo and Finn turned it on. Water blasted out of the hose at Sam.
"Heeeey!" Sam screamed as he was soaked with cold water.
Puck cackled with laughter.
"Stop" Sam screamed and tried to jump out of the way.
"Okay!" Puck smiled, and turned the hose to Mike.
"Ah!" Mike gasped as the water hit him too. Sam took the moment to try and grab the hose from Puck. He didn't fully succeed, but he did manage to get Puck and Finn a bit wet. It sooned turned out to be a wild water battle, making every guy end up soaked.
"Do not get this shirt wet!" Kurt had demanded. "It's designer!" But nevertheless, it got wet.
The boys' loud screams were heard by the teachers.
"What are they doing out there?" Shelby asked as she looked out the front window in an attempt to see.
"No idea" Will said with a shrug.
"They are probably playing football or something..." Beiste said.
"As long as those aren't screams of pain" Shelby said.
"Chances are, it's not" Beiste said. "Besides, you can hear the laugh in he scream. Just guys having fun."
"If you're sure..." Shelby shrugged and closed the blinds.
"It's almost time to go" Emma said, as she came out of her room wearing a pink floral dress.
"Nice dress, Emma" Beiste smiled at her.
"Thanks!" Emma blushed a bit. "Will, help me do up the little clasp thingy on the back?"
"Sure..." Will said, and he did.
"Thank you" Emma smoothed the front of her dress. "We almost ready to go?"
"I think we are. And I think the boys are...maybe..." Shelby said as another loud scream was heard.
"Okay, well let's go" Beiste said standing up. Will nodded.
"Okay, everyone ready?" Tina asked the girls in front of her.
"Yeah" Rachel said, looking around.
"I think-hic so" Quinn said with a groan. They had failed to cure her hiccups. They had tried everything they knew. Even standing upside down. After several tries, with no cure, they had decided to leave it for now and get changed, as it was getting late. So they had all run off and changed into sun dresses and blouses. Now, they were ready.
"Okay, out we go" Mercedes opened the door and they all walked out. The boys' screams were heard as they opened the door.
"What the heck? What's going on?" Santana asked with a scowl.
"It's the boys" Sugar said. They couldn't see because the large bus was on the way.
"Hello!" Emma said. She opened the door to her condo just as the girls did. She smiled at the girls.
"What's going on?" Rachel asked the redhead.
"Boys being boys" Emma winked and giggled.
Quinn laughed and ran around the bus to see.
"Oh my gosh!" She exclaimed, making the rest of the girls run over too. There, they saw all the boys soaking wet, along with the side of the bus, and spraying each other with a green garden hose.
"Hello" Rory laughed and waved when he saw the girls, staring with their mouths hanging open.
"Rachel! Save me!" Kurt yelled when he saw the girls. "My shirt is WET!"
"Run away!" Rachel called back, and stepped back to avoid a mist of water.
Kurt rolled his eyes and ran over to them, water dripping from his hair and clothes.
"Why?" was all Quinn could ask.
"Well, Sam said he was thirsty, so Puck and Finn turned on the hose, and when you mix crazy boys with a hose, this is what you get!" Kurt said, motioning to the boys who were running around screaming and laughing.
"Crazy..." Santana shook her head disapprovingly.
"Well..." Rachel said with a mischievous grin. "There is a positive to this."
"Like?" Mercedes asked.
"The guys look hot when they're soaking wet" Rachel smiled.
No one said anything. They were too busy staring. Because Rachel was right.
"Dang" Mercedes said with a smile. "So true" she said after a while.
"Nothing makes abs show best than a tight wet shirt" Tina said, eyeing Mike's abs.
Water flew through the air and almost hit the girls.
"Don't you dare get us wet!" Mercedes said roughly.
"Sorry!" Finn smiled at the girls.
"You better be" Mercedes said, but only the girls and Kurt could hear.
"So...I'm guessing you don't want a hug?" Blaine asked the girls with a charming smile.
"Most definitely NOT" Santana frowned.
"See?" Emma's voice rang though.
"Oh, my" Shelby gasped. The girls turned to see Will, Emma, Beiste and Emma staring at the wet guys and the rest of the mess.
"Oh, hello!" Artie smiled at the teachers, who frowned slightly.
"Did you even change?" Will asked them.
"Uhh...no" Puck said.
"Guys...we gotta go" Emma said.
"Mike, turn off the hose" Will pointed at him. Mike did and gave a quick nod.
"So this is what you've been doing for the past thirty minutes?" Will asked.
"Uhh...yes" Sam said, looking down as if he was ashamed, but the smile on his face said different.
"Okay, you know what? Boys, all of you, go get changed now. And hurry. This is crazy" Will exclaimed, shaking his head. Without a word, the boys opened the door and stepped inside, with Finn and Puck helping Artie with his chair. Kurt walked over and clasped hands with Blaine, who was coiling up the green hose properly. Finally, they were all inside and the door was slammed shut, leaving the girls, teachers and a whole lot of wet.
The girls all held their breath to keep from giggling.
"Well..." Shelby said, ending the silence.
"Unacceptable" Will said, shaking his head again.
"Aw, give them a break, Will" Beiste said slowly. "No harm was done."
"Well, we're late" Will pointed out.
"They're boys. They take 5 minutes to change. Relax!" Beiste said.
"I suppose..." Will said.
"Woah" Rachel breathed so only the girls could hear.
"Wild" Santana said with a smile. "Too bad we had to go, because that looked like fun."
"Yeah. Maybe we'll have to do it again another time" Tina smiled.
Two minutes later, the boy's door opened and Puck sauntered out, followed close behind by Mike and Sam.
"Here they come" Brittany announced, her blonde hair bouncing as she jumped a bit.
Finn and Rory help carried Artie's wheelchair out as they came out too.
"Who are we missing?" Emma asked after a minute.
"Ummm..." Mercedes looked around at the people. "Only Kurt and Blaine."
"Kurt takes pride in his look" Rachel reminded them all when Puck rolled his eyes.
"Sure. That's what's their doing..." Puck gave a wink.
"Wait, what?" Will asked, making the teens laugh.
"Can I go get them?" Mercedes asked.
"Sure, sure go ahead" Will said, still a bit confused.
Mercedes nodded and opened the boys' door, then shut it behind her.
"Kuuuuurt! Hurry up! Everyone is already outside!" Blaine complained.
"Oh, shush!" Kurt said. "Red scarf or grey?" He asked, holding them up to show Blaine, who was upside down on the couch, so from his view, Kurt was on the ceiling.
"Does it matter?" Blaine asked.
"I'm going to pretend you didn't say that" Kurt rolled his eyes. "Red or grey?"
"Red" Blaine smiled. "To match your adorable blushes."
Kurt blushed.
"See?" Blaine asked, pointing.
"Hilarious" Kurt rolled his eyes and put on the scarf.
"Kurt? Blaine?" Mercedes called as she slipped in the doorway.
"Up here" Blaine said loudly.
Mercedes walked up the stairs, and paused by the doorway to the room. She covered her eyes with her hand. "Can I come in? What's going on in there?"
Blaine and Kurt chuckled.
"Yeah...nothing's going on" Kurt said.
"Good" Mercedes opened her eyes and walked in the room.
Blaine sat up with a smirk. "What did you think we were doing?"
"I'm not going to answer that" Mercedes said flashing him a smile. "What's taking so long?"
"I was getting ready" Kurt said. "It takes a while to look good, you know."
"Not for me. I do it naturally" Blaine gave him a cute grin.
Mercedes looked at Kurt. Kurt shrugged and Mercedes giggled.
"Almost ready?" She asked.
"Yup. Is my scarf even?" Kurt asked. Mercedes nodded.
"Can we go?" Blaine asked.
"Yes, yes." Mercedes said moving toward the doorway. Kurt took Blaine's hand and followed her.
"Here they are" Mercedes announced as she stepped onto the wet steps of the condo.
"Finally!" Several of them said.
"Took you long enough" Rachel said.
"Sorry. Scarf crisis" Kurt said, playing with the tassels of his red scarf.
"Okay. Let's go" Will said, opening the bus door.
"Yes, sir!" Rory said as they boarded the bus.
The restaurant was much like the other, but it had a French theme.
"Oooh, Frenchy!" Tina squealed when she hopped off the bus.
"Mais oui!" Kurt said.
"This looks cool" Rachel said, eyeing the grey and green building.
"And busy" Finn said. "The parking lot is packed."
"Well, Finn. That's okay" Will said. His previously sour mood was gone and he was really cheery.
"Why? We'll be here forever!" Sam groaned.
"Nope. This place is a buffet" Will smiled.
"For reals?" Santana exclaimed.
"She's here?" Brittany gasped.
Everyone stopped and stared at the blonde.
"Who's here?" Mike asked.
"Buffy, the Vampire Slayer!" Brittany said. "Mr. Schue just said she was here!"
No one said anything, and they tried their very hardest not to laugh.
Brittany then gasped. "Tina! You better run! You are an Asian vampire and Buffy is going to slay you! Quick Tina, run!"
"Brittany" Emma said slowly. Brittany looked at her with a clueless expression. "Buffy the Vampire slasher..."
"Slayer" Brittany corrected with a frown.
"...Sorry, Slayer. Buffy the Vampire Slayer isn't here. Mr. Schuester said 'buffet' not Buffy" Emma said in a slow voice.
"And a buffet is where you serve food yourself" Santana said.
"Oh...okay" Brittany smiled. "I'm hungry."
"Well then. Let's go in!" Shelby exclaimed with a smile.
Two hours later, they were still at their long table in the restaurant. They had gotten food, and in the boys' cases, several times. They were all full and laughing loudly at the table. The food was delicious and very filling. Everyone was pleased with the multitude of choices. Now they were waiting for the bill. It took longer than expected.
"What are you doing?" Mercedes asked Blaine, who sat next to her.
"Dunno. I'm bored" Blaine smiled. "And being creative." He was putting salt into his coke. There was a bit left in his glass and now salt was being stirred into it.
"That's gross" Mercedes said. But she smiled. "Here, add this too!" She passed him the bottle of ketchup.
"Yum" Blaine said and squeezed the bottle so a bit of the thick red paste fell into his salty coke. Mercedes stirred it with Blaine's straw.
"What else can we add?" Blaine asked, setting the ketchup bottle down on the table.
"Uh, Kurt has some leftover salad dressing over there" Mercedes said, pointing to the small silver cup that held white dressing.
"Good idea!" Blaine nodded. He reached out across Kurt's empty plate and grasped the dressing cup.
"What are you doing?" Kurt asked as Blaine's arm snaked in front of him to get the cup.
"Sorry, Kurt. I'm confiscating you're dressing" Blaine said proudly.
"Why?"
"Mercedes and I are on the verge of making a great new drink!" Blaine answered. Mercedes snorted with laughter. Kurt glanced over at her. She smiled at him.
"Do I want to know?" Kurt asked.
"Probably not" Mercedes grinned.
"But, if you're brave enough, you can test it after" Blaine said.
"Blaine, I love you, but sometimes you act like an immature five year old" Kurt sighed.
"And Kurt, I love you also, but sometimes you act like an uptight adult" Blaine smirked and kissed his cheek.
"Wonderful..." Kurt muttered and turned back to Quinn, who he had been previously conversing with.
Blaine scooped the creamy white dressing into his glass.
"Ew, Blaine this looks disgusting" Mercedes said as she stirred it.
"I know. Cool isn't it?"
"Well, it's fun." Mercedes picked up the bread plate. All the bread was previously devoured and now only crumbs remain. Mercedes brushed them into the glass too.
"Now what?" Blaine asked, peering at the table's contents. Then he saw Finn's plate. He had got chicken wings, and got an array of dipping sauces too, which he barely used.
"Hey, Finn" Blaine called to the tall boy who sat diagonally across from him. Finn looked at him.
"Pass me your plate" Blaine said holding out his hands.
"Okay..." Finn said, handing it over without question.
"Thanks!" Blaine smiled.
Finn shrugged and looked away, as Blaine set the plate down in front of him. Mercedes picked up one of the cups, containing a thick dark brown fluid.
"What's this?" She asked, sniffing the cup.
"Ummm...Barbeque sauce?" Blaine asked. He stuck his finger in the sauce and licked it. "Yup. I was right."
"Okay. And that's plum sauce, right?" Mercedes asked, pouring the barbeque sauce into the cup.
"Yes m'am" Blaine scooped the plum sauce into the cup too. He stirred it and peered into the glass. In the dimly lit restaurant, it was hard to perfectly see.
"I think it's too thick" Blaine said. "We need a more watery substance."
"Okay. How about...Sprite?" Mercedes picked up her own glass and dumped the rest of it in Blaine's contaminated glass. There was only a bit in there too, but it helped.
"Better. Wanna try it?" Blaine asked, holding out the glass to her.
"No way!"
"Yeah, me neither!"
Finally, the bill came, carried by a thin waitress with red hair.
Will took the bill, paid with a wad of cash and she walked away.
"We going now?" Tina asked Will.
"Not yet. She's gotta come back with my receipt" Will said.
Blaine stood up at the table.
"What are you doing?" Kurt hissed at him. Blaine smiled and picked up the glass of his and Mercedes' concoction.
"Who wants a drink?" Blaine asked.
"What is it?" Artie asked.
"Well, if we tell you, you won't want it" Blaine said.
"Tell us, or we won't consider drinking it" Mike said.
Blaine looked down at Mercedes, who sat on his left. She nodded eagerly.
"Fine. This is made with: coke, salt, plum sauce, barbecue sauce, ketchup, bread crumbs, salad dressing and Sprite" Blaine said proudly. No one said anything at first. Blaine stood there, proudly holding up his cup. Mercedes nodded along too, eager to see who'd drink it.
"That's disgusting" Shelby said after a pause.
"I agree. No one in their right mind would drink that" Santana said.
"I'll try it!" Puck said, raising his hand. The whole table laughed.
"Really?" Mercedes and Blaine asked together.
"You'll die" Brittany said.
"He will not" Rory said. "Maybe puke, but not die."
"Sure, I'll try" Puck smiled with a confident grimace.
"Awesome!" Blaine grinned. He passed the cup to Puck, who sat five seats down and one across.
"Wait!" Mercedes screamed as Puck stared into the glass. "I want a video of this!" She grabbed her hand bag that was hanging in the back of her chair and pulled out her camera. She turned it on and pointed the lens at Puck.
"I want to be in this!" Blaine said as he jumped up and ran around the table to get behind Puck. He gave two thumbs up and gave a huge grin.
"Ready?" Mercedes asked, her finger hovering over the button.
"As ready as I'll every be" Puck smiled and Blaine clapped him on the shoulder encouragingly.
"Aaaaand, action!" Mercedes pressed the record button and a little orange light flashed.
Blaine gave a huge cheeky smile as Puck brought the glass to his lips slowly.
From across the table, Finn and Rory started a chant of "Drink it, drink it..."
Slowly, Puck tipped the glass back so the contents of it went into his mouth. Puck brought the glass down and away from his face. Around his mouth was disgusting brown slop. Puck made a disgusted and painful face as he swallowed the drink. Finally he set down the cup with a 'chink' and stared right into the camera. He opened his mouth to show that it was gone. The whole table went up in cheers. Blaine jumped up and down like a child and clapped. Puck highfived Mike and Santana. Finally, with camera still rolling, Mercedes shushed them up so she could speak.
"There you go. Puck has drank a delicious blend of coke, salt, Sprite, salad dressing, barbeque sauce, plum sauce, bread crumbs and ketchup!" Mercedes announced. Puck grinned at his accomplishment.
"How was it?" Blaine asked him, eyes wide.
"It was totally gross!" Puck laughed.
"So you're not going to take another sip?" Mercedes asked him.
"Not a chance."
"What did it taste like?" Mercedes said.
"Ummm...like salad that had been blended up, dropped on the road and then rolled in mud...with a side of barbeque sauce" Puck said slowly with a proud smirk.
"Anyone else want to try?" Blaine held up the glass.
"No!" Everyone else chorused.
"Good answer" Mercedes smiled and turned off the camera.
The red-headed waiter returned with the receipt and handed it to Will. She gave Puck and Blaine a disgusted look and walked off. She had obviously been watching the whole thing.
"Okay. Are we ready to go?" Beiste asked them.
"Yes, I believe so" Rachel nodded and they all stood up.
