Chapter Text
“As none of you have been Nationals bound before, I have an information packet for each of you.” Rachel grabbed the papers off the desk to hand them out.
Rory raised his hand. “Why isn’t Blaine here?”
“Blaine and I have already discussed this.” She turned pages in her own copy. “Inside, you’ll find vocal exercises and dance stretches that it would be wise to do. I know many of our teammates don’t do them with my diligence, but they are helpful even in small doses. Also, there are lists of discouraged food and drink, as well as recipes for better options.”
“Why can’t I have milk?” Joe asked.
“Milk clogs your vocal chords and makes your voice phlegmy. Try one of the herbal teas instead. They are delicious and have a number of additional health benefits.” Softening out of dictator mode, Rachel shut the packet. “On the last page, you’ll find a list of phone numbers from everyone in the club, in case you’re missing any. If you need anything, call.”
Sugar cocked her head. “Like what?”
“Advice, tutoring, someone to listen, a change of clothes after being slushied, anything.” Rachel smiled. “We look out for each other here.”
