A/N
This is technically a sequal to 'The ND Trip' but it's not manditory to read that first. There will only be a few references to it, but nothing big.
It was a graduation trip. It was a victory trip. It was a last chance for togetherness trip. It was a the-last-one-was-fun-so-let's-do-it-again trip.
Either way, whatever you want to call it, the hyper members of New Direction sat in the airport, ready to go. The same airport where they had sat only a few months back. This time, their destination was different. This time, the atmosphere was different. This time, they were ready.
Like last time, money had been an issue. But not too big of an issue. After all, they were at the airport with bags packed and wide smiles. The cost problem this time was easier to overcome than the last. Again, Mr. Motta made a large contribution, but was more than glad to do it. Also, due to the group's outstanding win at Nationals, they had a lot more spending money. Another helping factor was that their accommodations were much cheaper than before, due to their...different destination. Add that to the small sum of money that each person had to pay, and they managed to get enough money. More than enough, actually. But a little extra just-in-case emergency money is always a good plan. Especially when dealing with this bunch of people.
The teens sat, anxiously waiting for their boarding call. They were like bottles of pop that had been shaken but wasn't opened yet. They were waiting to explode. But, under the strict eye of their three adult chaperones, they remained calm. On the outside, at least.
But their excitement now was nothing compared to their happiness shown when their learned of this trip. It was on the bus back to Lima from Chicago after a spectacular win at Nationals. Two of the three adults had stood up, quieted down everyone and blurted out the news. And the bus went wild. It was such amazing news that it almost seemed unbelievable. Another trip. Another chance. Another magical experience. It was happening.
So they packed their things. Then, two days after Graduation, they loaded into a bus and drove to the airport. All woes from college rejections was forgotten. All sadness from Graduation was forgotten. It was nothing but pure happiness. Pure togetherness. Pure glee.
So now they sat. Still they sat. Talking amongst each other happily. Last time when they had sat in the airport waiting, they were unsure and a bit overwhelmed. Now, they were totally eager. Shaking with excitement. No doubts or regrets. Well, one of them did. One of the teens hadn't been on the first trip so it was a bit scary for them. But not spooky scary. More like wild scary.
Getting to the seats they currently occupied had been a challenge of sorts. The bus they took at 7 AM was unusually loud for such an early time. But they were all hyper and ready. At the airport, they had to check in their luggage. There were over 25 large suitcases that were weighed and checked in. They they had to go through security. That wasn't hard. It was amusing. For the teens. The adults, embarrassed by their borderline rowdy behavior, questioned their sanity and wondered what on Earth possessed them to go on another trip with this group. Nevertheless, they made it through and even had some spare time to peruse the duty-free shops. Then they arrived at the waiting chairs outside the gate. The adults agreed that there's less of a chance of accident of losing people if they stayed put at the chairs. And that's how they got to be sitting in the chairs.
Then it happened. What they had all ben waiting for. For the last hour. Then came the call.
"Now boarding plane 477 to Winnipeg."
And before the announcement was finished, the sixteen teenagers had grabbed their bags and were on their feet, with excited gasps and screeches.
The three adults rolled their eyes, managed a smile and stood up too. Much too slow, in the opinion of the teens.
Then, clutching their boarding passes and passports, they walked to the airport lady and got on the plane.

Hey guyssss!
So this is the first chapter of 'The 2nd ND Trip'. If you read about my choices to do this in the update chapter of 'The ND Trip' than Yay. But if you didn't and you randomly came across this, I'll summarize. I decided not to do an Italy sequal because it was too hard. So I picked this place. You'll find out more about where they go exactly.
Anyways, I hope you like this and I've already started to write the second chapter. :)
So thanks for reading this and to all my readers who encouraged me to write another story, I love you.
Stay pretty! :D
P.S. Winnipeg...THAT'S IN CANADA!
