Kings Island

Monday morning came too quickly. The first weekend of summer flew by. Blaine and Kurt went shopping and saw a movie on Saturday opting to spend some time alone after the wonderful celebration the night before. On Sunday, Blaine, Kurt, David and Wes along with Finn, Rachel, Mercedes and Sam went to Kings Island. They were taking a break sitting by the Main entrance fountain. They were talking about possible songs for the trip and discussing how often they might have to practice.

“The Warblers will be definitely be doing Teenage Dream, Silly Love Songs and Raise Your Glass. We think you should do your originals from Sectionals. After all, they got you to Nationals and they were really good.” Wes always seemed to take charge whenever it came to talking about performing.

“I think we should try to write some originals that all of us can sing together. I have some great ideas of how we can stage everything too.” Rachel grabbed Wes and began talking non-stop on her theatrical ideas. Wes actually seemed interested. “As soon as we know when practices will be, we should take some of that time to start writing at least 2 or 3 songs that the Warblers and New Directions can sing together as originals!”

Just at that moment, Rachel got a text. Looking down, ‘New Directions/Warblers practices begin tomorrow 5:00-7:30. We ask that everyone be at the McKinley Choir room at 5:00 tomorrow to discuss a few things and some housekeeping. We will be practicing at McKinley 5 days a week. Warblers will practice at McKinley Auditorium on Monday and Wednesday 5:00-7:30, New Directions on Tuesday and Thursday. Practice will be in Choir Room on opposite days. Everyone will practice in Auditorium on Sunday evenings 6-7:00 or 7:30.’ Then everyone else’s cells began receiving texts.’

The Warblers didn’t get this information, but were glad that they were with the New Directions when it came. Wes and David immediately started texting all the Warblers about the practice schedule. Wes was really mad. “I can’t believe Dean Royce didn’t tell me he was meeting with your Director. I should have been there to make decisions.” Wes was really starting to lose it.

They were at Kings Island, how could Wes be this upset. Blaine laughed, “Maybe the Dean was afraid of your gavel.” This was received with an icy cold stare. “Wes, calm down, you have to admit that you go a little crazy pounding that thing. I swear you just like to hear the sound of it.” Everyone laughed because Wes was getting angrier by the second. Wes did like the authority that the gavel gave him. He felt lost without it. If he had it right now, he could all everyone to attention.

Wes called the Dean on his cell phone and left a message. “Hello Dean Royce. This is Wesley Warbler. I must say that I am a little upset that the Warbler counsel was not contacted about practices. We luckily were spending the day with several of the New Directions and have gotten the information regarding practice. Please call me as soon as you can. I think we should meet prior to the first practice at McKinley on Monday.” He hung up and under his breath, “Well, of course, you aren’t answering my call!”

Rachel finally approached Wes and said, “I totally understand when people fail to recognize authority, ability and talent. Just let it go Wes. We know about practice and now so do all the Warblers. Let’s go get on some rides and enjoy our first weekend of summer break. Our time will come when we can be in charge and the stars.” Wes nodded his appreciation of her understanding. Finn stood aside knowing this was going to be one of those times when he just needed to let her go on with her attitude. He knew it would be best to let Rachel have her glory. After all, Rachel loved him and he really was not worried. Wes put out is elbow to escort her and she took it. They turned to the group and Rachel stated, “Follow your leaders to the next ride, our royal subjects.”

Blaine took this opportunity to grab Kurt aside. “Its times like these that remind me why I like to spend time alone, just us.” Kurt responded with giving Blaine his best eye flutter and a kiss that was meant to be a peck, but when his lips met Blaine’s, the earth just stopped and he could not stop kissing Blaine.

“Ahem… Will you 2 be joining us?” Wes was still frustrated so Blaine and Kurt moved to join them and avoid dealing with the wrath of Wes. “I’m sure with all the time we will be spending together, you will have plenty of time for whatever it is that you boys do when you are alone.”
