Cory Allan Monteith was not looking forward to this vacation.
There was nothing wrong with spending the entire summer in Cape Cod, Florida except for the fact that he was spending it with his mother and older brother.
Now he wasn't saying anything against his family-he had gotten much better over the years-but three months away was sure to be only two things: boring and stupid. He could buy tickets to Walt Disney World, ride Space Mountain eighty times, and still have complaints if he was doing it alone. It just wasn't the same.

On this particular day his mother was enjoying her getaway the exact same way she had been for the past week: sitting on the balcony of their suite, her nose buried in a magazine. To her that was a vacation. To her that was all she needed, getting away from the stress and busy of everyday life. His brother had occupied himself golfing since the start of the trip and Cory had gone with him twice but couldn't get into it. To much standing around. Not enough moving.

And so he was determined to have a better day as he made his way to the beach across from the hotel. It was busy enough that no one would realize he was alone. And there were always cute chicks in their little bikinis.

Lea Michele Sarfati loved to travel. If the cast had an interview somewhere or she was asked to perform for an event, she would pack her clothes nights in advance just out of anticipation. She was always prepared and professional. Even at 17, that was who she was; and she was proud of that.
However she wasn't sure how long the thrill of this particular trip was going to last.
Her parents had complained that they hadn't gotten to spend enough time with her because of Spring Awakening and therefore had roped her intoa summer long excursion to Aunt Becky's house in Florida. At least she had a place to show off her bikini. But that was the only highlight so far.

This would've been so much better if they had let her bring Jonathan or one of her castmates along. In fact whenever he wasn't busy, she had him on the phoner. Talking about anything and everything and pretending he was enjoying the hot Florida sun at her side. They could make a fun situation out of the dullest scenerio. Together they always had a ball.

But so far this summer was looking very, very uneventful.
