Authors Note: It's mad how much fanfiction I've got in progress at the moment! This one is going to be a few chapters long with all different activities for the team to do, it's random and will almost certainly get even more Robbie/Jackie-ish as it goes on :P School starts again tomorrow so it'll be back to irregular updates.

Disclaimer: Nope don't own the main characters, only the OCs, Glenn Chandler own them.

Room Allocations

"My team won't agree to it!" Burke was arguing with the Superintendent over his idea for his team.

"Well you will just have to make them DCI Burke."

"Why do we have to do this? We already work brilliantly together."

"I know but every team is having to do this at some point in the year and I want yours to be first to show an example to the rest of the officers."

"That won't make Ross, Reid or Fraser any more willing to participate." He muttered before leaving the room and making his way slowly down to tell his colleagues the news.

Robbie was sitting at his desk watching the woman across from him working on her computer. Jackie hadn't even realised she was being stared at considering it had been going on for well over ten minutes. The way she was holding that pen between her teeth was sending his head into a spin: he would occasionally see her tongue peeping through and the way she kept mouthing the words as she typed was sending him into a meltdown. He didn't even think that she knew what she was doing. Jackie had never had this much of an effect on him before but for some reason today she was taking over his every thought, not that he didn't already think enough about her.

"You're a bloody tease Jackie Reid! How do you get away with it?"

She took the pen from her lips and raised her eyebrows at him, "What are you talking about Ross?" She used his surname just to prove how confused she was.

"I'm talking about how you were sexually assaulting that pen in your mouth." She rolled her eyes and turned back to her computer screen.

"I feel sorry for women who have to spend nights with you."

"You're just jealous of them all, honey!"

"In your dreams." It wasn't just in his dreams that this happened, Jackie's feelings for Robbie had been growing over the past year and now she couldn't last quarter of an hour without some inappropriate thought or other creeping in to her mind.

Matt came in to the room at this moment and tried to get their attention, "Guys and Jackie!" Stuart looked up whilst the other two just kept talking, not realising it was more flirtatious remarks instead of unimportant banter.

"Robbie! Jackie! Listen." They sheepishly looked up and closed their mouths while trying not to smile or laugh.

"We have to go on, and these are not my words, a team bonding weekend." Robbie, Jackie and Stuart waited for the punchline whilst gazing around the room, looking at each other for some indication of what was going on. Then it clicked that there wasn't going to be one and there smiles turned to frowns.

"What?" "When?" "Why?" The questions, reproaches and swearing came thick and fast from the three of them.

"Shut it!"

"But sir we have the best track record for arrests, why the hell do we have to do this?!" Jackie thought this was one of the most ridiculous things she had heard coming from her boss in the eight years she had known him for.

"I know Jackie and I have no idea the reasoning behind this but the superintendent says we must, so that's the end of it. And I've chosen for us to do it starting a week tomorrow: we leave on Friday morning and get back Monday lunchtime."

"You are kidding?!"

"No Stuart. I wish I was."

"Actually guys this could be quite good fun." Robbie sat back in his chair with his hands behind his head, looking as though he was casually resting in his house not a police station.

"Expand please Robbie." Jackie was extremely interested on how Robbie was going to enjoy this weekend.

"Look, it would give us all something to do with our weekend unlike every other Saturday where I would normally go to some bar and pick up a blonde bombshell to spend the night with; Stuart would go to another nightclub for an hour or so and then go home a little drunk; the boss would either stay home or meet up with an old friend; and you, my lovely Miss Jackie, spend your non-working days reading some – what I can only hope – are Mills and Boon books and having wonderfully odd smelling baths by yourself, wishing that some handsome Detective Inspector was there with you."

The pen she had been biting earlier went flying across the desk and hit him in the centre of his forehead but she did have to admit Robbie made a fair point so she sighed and signed her form that Burke had handed to each of them.

On the Friday morning of the next week the four of them were on the minibus to their destination, Robbie was getting more adamant with every mile that they were going to be killed and since it was in the middle of nowhere they would never be found. Jackie kept smacking his head because she was sitting next to him and Stuart and Burke had given up listening to him a long time ago but Jackie had no escape.

Robbie could see how much Jackie hated the countryside as they got further from Glasgow and he teased her for that reason as they carried on. Jackie got her own back when his mobile phone dropped from his coat pocket without him noticing, she picked it up slyly and got in to his text message inbox. She flicked through the ones from the women's names that he had mentioned in recent weeks and when she got to one of the soppier ones, from someone called Nina, she read it out to the other two men. Robbie leant across her body and grabbed the phone from her clutches and put it in the pocket furthest away from her as she just smirked at him.

"So have you told Nina you're spending the weekend with two guys and another girl?"

"No why should I when I'm not dating her - or anyone else for that matter - just now?" Jackie sighed and got a book out to read until they arrived at the outdoor retreat centre while Stuart tried to teach Robbie how to work his phone's camera.

When they got inside the small reception area of the building they were greeted by one of the instructors that they would be working with called Dave. Apparently lunch was just ending so they could grab a roll and then they would be shown their rooms. Before they got the chance Dave started speaking again,

"Could you leave all electronics things at the desk, there is a TV and plug sockets in your room but we don't allow phones, MP3 players, etcetera to be used because we want you to experience the natural atmosphere."

Stuart's face fell as he realised that he would have to give over his new iPhone and he knew Burke would more than likely search their bags to make sure they all had. Jackie began to glare at the man before asking, "What about hair straighteners?" Robbie let out a cough so as not to laugh as much at her question.

Burke looked over at her in disbelief, "Do you really need them Jackie?"

"Yes. No chance I am spending three days here if I can't have my hair straight." She silenced Robbie's hysterical laughter with one of her well-practised looks.

"Okay you can keep them but only because we want you to stay."

They made their way up to the lodge where the en-suite bedrooms and a small kitchen for the team was, and noticed there was only three bedrooms which Stuart pointed out.

Dave just laughed which made the four officers feel even more hatred for the man who seemed to be happy all the time.

"Well done for noticing that," Robbie couldn't help but mumble "Well, he is a bloody detective," in to Jackie's ear which forced her bite her lip to not giggle. "Two of you are going to be sharing a room; two separate beds but only one room, it'll make you bond better together."

Jackie closed her eyes at that point for two reasons, firstly because it meant she wouldn't see smug Dave's grin so she wouldn't have the overwhelming urge to punch him and secondly because she had a horrible thought that she may have to share with Robbie.

"How are we going to choose the lucky couple?"

"We pick a name out of this bag," pulling a plastic folder out his pocket which had four folded bits of paper in it. He reached his hand in and picked one out. Jackie's worst fear was confirmed when he turned the paper round to show them her name written in the middle of it.

"This is a bit unfair isn't it, I'm the only woman!"

"Well that shouldn't matter, you've spent years with these men, you shouldn't be embarrassed."

She groaned, finding it almost impossible to quell the want to put this man in serious pain, "Fine, I choose Stuart."

"Nope you have to pick one of the remaining scraps of paper out the bag."

Jackie couldn't resist stating, "It's a plastic folder not a bloody bag!" before opening up the piece of paper and seeing the one name she prayed it wouldn't be: Robbie Ross. As she went back to her place in the narrow corridor, in front of Robbie who just smiled and put his arms round her waist which she quickly shook off, detesting the way she uncontrollably shivered and felt an electrical spark travel round her body at his touch.

"Come on Jackie, it'll be fun!"

"Keep telling yourself that Robbie because I have a feeling these activities will be the exact opposite of your thoughts!"

Dave piped back up at this point, "So I'll leave the four of you to settle in. Dinner is at six o'clock until half past seven. After that meet me back in the reception and I'll take you to one of the activity rooms and we'll spend the evening finding out more about each other."

All four of the friends tried to grin at the prospect but ended up looking like they were being hurt and as soon as Dave left through the front door Robbie slammed it behind him went in to the living room area of the cabin. Stuart was away in the single room he had claimed as his own, Burke was making a cup of tea in the kitchen so he sat down next to an incredibly frustrated Jackie who simply said, "I will kill that man soon!" and kicked her suitcase a few times.

"Jackie darling, I think we all will." Jackie smiled a little and thought to herself that being in the same room as him might not be all too bad because at least she would get a laugh, although being so close to him might end in her fantasizing about him more than she already was or they would end up losing the will to live if they had to share a bedroom and a bathroom. It was going to be an interesting weekend for all four of them.
