Chapter 1—Congratulations!
Off Camera
"Did you see last night's episode?!"
"Of course! I can't believe he lost though! That girl had no right to win—"
"—when he worked so hard to get discounts!"
"That's so unfair."
"Totally."
"I know right."
"Oh, did you see what they said at the end of the episode?!"
"YES! I did—I'm soo excited!"
"I hope they pick me…"
"Oh please—why would they pick you? We all know that they'll pick me."
"Shut up, you're so full of yourself. But, you know who else is for sure going to get picked?"
"OH MY GOD, YES!"
"Do you have to talk that loud?"
"…yes. Well, Sasuke is going to get picked for sure!"
"Don't count on that—Neji seems to be good to be picked too."
"Naruto owns them all!"
"…"
"…"
"We'll ignore that."

"So we now enter the school. Classes are in session right now, but the bell will ring in just a few minutes. Students will be coming out of their classrooms, and that's when we will surprise our contestant—"
Just then, the bell rang. The vociferous noise pierced through the air like a sharp knife. The young man used one of his hands—seeing as though that his other hand was busy holding onto a video camera—to cover his ear. Once it was over, he took his hand off and repositioned himself. He looked at the picture he held in his hand, and walked off to the crowds of students to look for the contestant.

"Hey guys," Tenten said, greeting her friends.
"Hi Tenten," Sakura greeted her back, as Ino nodded at her.
Tenten sat down on the seat in their dorm room that she shared with Sakura, and picked up a random magazine. She started flipping through it, before stopping at a page. She chewed on her gum for a bit, before blowing a bubble. "Hey guys," she said, popping her bubble. "Did you guys hear the game show, The Ultimate Week?"
Sakura, who was playing with her pillow, looked up. She furrowed her brow, before answering. "We have no television," she said plainly.
Ino rolled her eyes as she sighed at Sakura. "Sakura, Sakura, Sakura. When are you going to get your head out of those books?" Sakura glared at Ino, and she smiled back at her. "Nearly everyone else here owns a television, and they brought it from home. And if you can't watch it on television—you watch it online," she said with a smile. "It's so popular—haven't you heard of it, Tenten? Or did this nerd here begin to rub off on you?"
Sakura glared at Ino once again. "I prefer the term 'smart'."
Ino ignored what Sakura said to her, and stared at Tenten to give her an answer. Tenten blinked at her. "Uh, I haven't seen it. I've been busy with sport clubs and midterms are around the corner—"
"That's no excuse!" Ino shouted, standing up.
"Trust her to say something like that," Sakura muttered to herself.
"I heard that," Ino snapped.
"Well maybe it was meant to be heard!"
"Or you just have a really loud voice."
"You should be the one talking."
"I am talking."
"You just proved my point."
"What point? You just said I should be the one talking, and I am the one talking. Sakura, you're just stating the obvious."
You could see the vein popping out of Sakura's forehead from Ino's comment. She let out a breath slowly, before getting off the bed. "I'll get some water," she said, walking towards the door.
"Hey, she controlled herself this time," Tenten joked, grinning at Sakura's back.
"Don't. Push it," Sakura said quietly back, as she resumed walking towards the door.
As soon as she opened the door, a big, "CONGRATULATIONS!" was heard.
What. The. Hell.
On Camera – twenty minutes before
"And oh, it seems like we just found our contestant who was chosen!" Kiba, the cameraman said, as he walked towards a group of three guys. He zoomed in on one of the guys, and started 'introducing' them. "Uchiha Sasuke, Nara Shikamaru, and last but not least," he zoomed in on the last guy, "Hyuuga Neji."
Getting closer to the three, he seemed to have gotten their attention. Sasuke narrowed his eyes at him and the camera, while Shikamaru lazily looked at him. Neji was the more cautious one—he watched him with careful eyes.
"Hey!" Kiba greeted, as he walked up to them.
The silence was nerve-wrecking. Kiba looked around nervously. "So… Hyuuga Neji! You have been chosen to be one of the two contestants for The Ultimate Week!" Kiba shouted enthusiastically (or what seemed to be.) as he handed Neji the coin case.
Neji took it after a few seconds of staring. Kiba smiled nervously as he began to talk again. "Now you know how the game works, right? Two days into the week and your contestant will be revealed. But first, you have to guess who your opponent is, and if you don't, your money will be deducted."
Since no one was answering him, Kiba took a gulp and continued. "The game is simple—"
"We know how the game works," Neji spoke up finally. "What I want to know is," he glared at Kiba (he was actually glaring at the camera, but since Kiba was looking through the camera, he thought Neji was glaring at him), "that if you're going to be following me around everywhere with that thing."
"It's not a thing, Neji," Kiba said defensively. "It's the state of the art—"
"We don't care what the hell it is, Inuzuka," Sasuke spoke up, leaning against the wall. "Just know your boundaries to following us around with that piece of crap."
"First of all," Kiba glared at the two, "it's not a piece of crap. If it was, then it would be only five dollars, and we all know how five dollars—"
"Cut the crap and get to the point," Neji interrupted.
"Well I was getting there until someone interrupted," Kiba said. "Don't call me Inuzuka. Call me PD."
"How troublesome, Kiba," Shikamaru finally spoke up. "I'm going. Don't wait up at lunch," he said to the two.
As soon as he left, the other two left also, leaving Kiba alone. "Well that didn't work out so well." He stopped the camera, and replayed what was recorded. "Great, now I have to edit these things out…" He muttered to himself.

"Congratulations!" Kiba shouted, trying to surprise the girls by going to their dorm room.
Sakura raised a brow at Kiba, her past anger forgotten. "What in the world are you doing Kiba?" She asked, weirded out by Kiba's sudden appearance and enthusiasm.
"I'm congratulating you!" He said again, in that same high pitched voice of his.
"Don't talk like that," Tenten said, popping out from behind Sakura. "Ever. Again."
"You sound like how you were in your freshman year, Kiba," Ino piped up. "Like you didn't go through puberty yet," she said with a grin.
Kiba glared at Ino. "You should be talking. I see that your chest hasn't gotten any bigger since sophomore year."
Ino narrowed her eyes at Kiba. "Shut up," she said. "Now why are you here? You interrupted our conversation with that idiotic 'congratulations'," she said, rolling her eyes.
"Well," Kiba said, "I'll get to that." He grinned at Tenten, who raised her brow. "Tenten! You have been chosen as the other contestant on The Ultimate Week! Here's your coin case," he said, giving Tenten the case.
Tenten took it awkwardly. She flipped it open, and stared at it. "Why are you giving me money?" She asked cluelessly.
Ino gasped. "Are you serious?! Tenten was chosen?!"
"Chosen for what?" Sakura asked, not getting it either.
Ino glared at Tenten. "You don't even know the show and you got chosen! That is so unfair! Why did she get chosen?!" Ino yelled, glaring at Kiba. "Why?!"
"Don't yell at me!" Kiba shouted. "I'm not the one who's in charge of picking the contestants! Take it out with the producer or something! I'm just the cameraman!"
"Care to explain?" Sakura asked dryly, a bit angry that she was ignored. "Yes, please," Tenten agreed.
Kiba glared at Ino before explaining the situation to Sakura and Tenten. "Tenten, you're chosen as a contestant for the game show, The Ultimate Week. It's a game where you get 1,500 yen to live off for a week. Now remember," Kiba paused, "it's a game. So whoever spends the least amount of money in a week will win the game."
"What do you get?" Tenten asked.
"Who's her opponent?" Sakura asked at the same time.
"You get some prize money at the end or something," Kiba said, shrugging his shoulders. "For your opponent—once its two days into the week, you get to find out who it is. During those two days, you have to find out who your opponent is. They'll give me the clips where they have to give you clues, and I'll give those clips to you. If you don't figure out who they are—then there's a deduction of the money I just gave you."
Tenten nodded as she understood it. "So, all you have to do is live off of 1,500 yen?"
Kiba shook his head. "There are more rules. Living off of 1,500 yen means this—you have to pay for everything with it. Shower, food, telephone uses. There are more to list, but I'll be recording everything, so you can ask me about it first. The next thing is, during your week, you have to do missions."
"Missions…?" Sakura asked, raising a brow.
"Missions," Kiba repeated, nodding his head, which moved the camera along with him. "You will be given a card which has your mission you have to do. It's basically charades—you have to act out the mission given to you, and see if the person you're acting it out to gets what you're doing. If you fail the mission—as in, they give the wrong answer, or they don't answer in time—you will be deducted of 10 yen. If you break the rules, depending on the situation, it could be a lot of yen deducted of not a lot."
"So many rules," Tenten muttered to herself as she flipped through the coin case. "So, water is free right?"
"Yes it is," Kiba answered. Before he could say anything else, Tenten interrupted him.
"So, I have to starve myself not to waste all that money on food…?"
"You could if you want," Kiba said. "But you could also work for discounts. Like, at the kitchen downstairs—you could help serve the food for a lower price. And if you break the rule and eat the food without paying—there will be a deduction from your money," Kiba explained.
"That's harsh," Tenten muttered."
"And also, during fourth day of the week, it is called, 'game day'. It's when both of the contestants come together and compete in a series of games. If let's say, you win, you get to chose if you want to keep your coin case, or switch with your opponent."
"Why would you switch?" Sakura asked.
"If you run out of money, and you're sure that you're going to lose, this would come in handy for you," Kiba explained. "But if you think you're good and gonna win, you can keep your own coin case." Kiba looked at Sakura and Tenten. "Get it now?"
Tenten nodded. "So… you'll be following us around now?"
"That's going to get annoying…" Sakura muttered under her breath.
"Yes I will," Kiba said, ignoring what Sakura said under her breath. "And from now on, call me PD, not Kiba."
"PD?" Sakura asked, raising a brow.
Tenten snickered. "Who came up with that?"
Kiba glared at the two. "I don't know, it's in the rule book okay! They don't want my name on the show or something like that…" Kiba muttered.
"Why are you even the cameraman? Don't you have classes or something?" Sakura asked.
Kiba grinned at her. "Well, because of my outstanding (Sakura and Tenten snorted at that) grades," he glared at the two, "I'm free to miss class to record you and your opponent. And I get paid. How great is that?" He asked with a grin.
Tenten narrowed her eyes when he started grinning and gloating. She turned to Ino when she felt the coin book snatched out of her hands. "What are you doing?"
Ino flipped through the coin book. She looked around the hallways, and saw some girls coming out of the elevator. She grinned and ran towards them, with the others following behind.
"Hey!" She shouted out to the girls.
They stopped walking and looked at Ino. "Yes?" The shorter one of the two asked as Ino stopped in front of them.
"Here, here," she said, opening the coin book and taking out the coins. A few more students gathered around to see what was happening, and some accepted the money happily.
"The quicker Tenten loses, the better," Ino joked to herself as she gave away more of the coins. "Free coins, everyone!"
"Ino!" Tenten shouted, catching up to her. "Are you crazy?! Why are you giving away my coins!"
"Oh, come on Tenten!" Ino said, as Tenten took the coin case out of her hands. She started collecting back the coins and putting them back in their place. "Did you not hear? The most likely ones to be selected as a contestant is Sasuke or Neji! Do you really want to go against them?" Ino asked.
"I bet you would, wouldn't you?" Tenten shot back at her, as she counted the coins. "Hey! I'm missing two coins!"
"That's true," Sakura said, grinning at Ino.
Tenten glared at the two, and continued collecting back her coins. "Friggin idiots," she muttered to herself.

Zoom In: Author's Corner
Oh, harharharhar. New story, eck. I'm taking a break from 6 Months :( I need to get myself organized, and I'm stocking up on ideas(; For this story, it's going to be pretty straight-forward and short, like DLNOW. Some of you were unsatisfied with that one's ending, but I promise you I won't end this one like that(:
For this story, I used a Korean Game Show: Manwon Happiness. Although I made up the, "you have to guess who your opponent is or else your money will be deducted," most of the things were from
that show. I think it was easier to do it as 10,000 won (Korean currency) but since this is Japan I changed things a little to 1,500 yen. Originally, the 10,000 won was 10 dollars in the states, and it was 1,000 yen if it was 10 dollars. I changed it to 15 dollars, lmfao. I have no idea why I did that, though…
So, I hope you like this story(: If and this is if, I finish 6 Months, I'll probably be making new short stories instead of the huge long ones I wanted to make): I don't have the attention span for that long of a story, LOL.
I hope you like it(: and, sorry for the grammar mistakes, if there are any. I don't write as well as I used to): If I ever did, lmfao.
Whipped :D
Coffee(:
–inserts something smart here since I'm brain-dead– review please(:
