Chapter 1:
Jack's POV:
I finished watching all of the audition tapes and I found two that stood out. I reviewed them then got up and left to go find Gaston. I walked over to him once I saw him. "Gaston. Hey, sorry to interrupt, but I reviewed these audition tapes. I think you should look at these." I said, holding the two tapes up. The three of us walked back to the AV room and I put the tapes back in. I pressed play.
"Hi, I'm Aurora Jones from LA, and I'm ready for The Challenge." Aurora said in the tape.
I paused Aurora's tape as I looked at Gaston. "Aurora... Rapunzel." I told him, starting Rapunzel's tape.
"I'm Rapunzel Jones from Washington , DC, and I'm ready for The Challenge." Rapunzel said in her tape. I paused the tape and looked at him again.
"I don't get it. She's got a split personality?" He asked me then looked at Odette. I rolled my eyes a bit."Jeez, that is so sad. She can't go to college." He told her.
"Twins, Gaston. They're twins." She told him.
"Look, Gaston, their parents are divorced." I said, causing him to look at me. "Aurora lives with her mother in LA. Rapunzel, with her father in DC. The girls can't stand each other. Total opposites. Nothing in common. She's into ambition, she's into nutrition. This one loves a big, juicy steak. Vegetarian. Bring each one on the show without telling the other. It's conflict, on-camera confrontation. It's instant ratings, Gaston." I said, looking at him.
Odette was smiling. "Jack, you are a genius. Come here." Gaston said, getting up. I went over to him. "I'm promoting you to... head intern." He said, putting his hands on my shoulders.
"Gaston, I'm the only intern." I said.
"Yeah, well, you know what? Don't complain. You just got promoted." He said, patting my shoulder and walked away. I closed my eyes and shook my head a bit then walked away. It was a month later and I was walking around but behind the camera.
"Excuse me?" A voice asked. I looked and saw that the voice belonged to Aurora when she touched my hand. I faced her. "Hi. There's only seven of us. Is someone missing?" She asked.
"Our eighth member is a little delayed." I told her.
Rapunzel's POV:
I was in the car, being taken to the hotel that the show was at. "Hello? Hello?" I asked on the phone then sighed. "I can't get a signal down here." I told myself and closed my phone. I looked at the driver. "Sir, if you can hurry, por favor? I'm a half-hour late and I'm never late. Last time I was late was in 1986 when I was born. That was my sister's fault. You know, she had that umbilical cord thingy wrapped around my neck. Sorry I'm talking too much. I had too many cappuccinos at the layover in Dallas. You know what I mean? Are you sure you wanted to make that right at that chicken coop?" I asked.
Aurora's POV:
It was nighttime and almost time for the first campfire council. "Nothing like a campfire when it's 100 degrees out." I said, looking at a boy with blonde hair that was next to me. I figured that I would try to make friends with someone and he was the closest one.
"I think it's for dramatic effect." He said. I nodded then chuckled softly. "I'm John." He said, sticking his hand out to me.
"Hi, I'm Aurora." I said.
"Aurora? That's a pretty name. I like it." He said.
"Thanks. My dad had a thing for princessy names." I said.
"Good thing he didn't name you Snow White." He joked. I looked at him then we chuckled a bit then looked over at Gaston.
"Welcome, Warriors, to your first campfire council on The Challenge." He said and we clapped. "Two teams, seven challenges, seven totems. For each event, the winning team secures a wooden totem." He explained, holding a totem up then put it down. "At the end of the week, the team with the most totems is the winner of The Challenge. The rules: Curfew, 10pm. No romantic entanglements. Any infraction of these rules will result in disqualification from the next event." He said as I slightly looked at John with a soft smile then quickly looked back at Gaston. "Tonight, you'll be broken into two teams: Team Aztec and Team Mayan. And the first Aztec is..." He trailed off, picking up a card. He looked at it then at the seven of us. "Kayley." He said. A girl with long, red hair got up, went over to the big campfire, picked up a stick, lit the tip into the fire and went over to the Team Aztec banner. She placed her torch in a hole. Her hair was in a ponytail and she had a headband on too. "Team Mayan. Aladdin." He said. A guy with black hair did the same thing as Kayley but he placed his torch in a hole at the Team Mayan banner. "Team Aztec, Jasmine." He said. A girl with long, black hair got up and did the same thing as Kayley. She went to Kayley's side. Her hair was in a braid and had three or four holders in her braid. She also had a headband.
"Team Mayan... Hercules." He said.
"All right!" He said, getting up and did the same thing as Aladdin. He went to Aladdin's side. "A-man and the H-man." He said, doing a handshake with Aladdin.
"Team Aztec... Naveen." Gaston said. I smiled softly at John as Naveen joined Jasmine and Kayley. "Team Mayan... Aurora." He said. I smiled at John for a bit then got up. I picked up a torch, lit the tip up and joined Aladdin and Hercules. "Team Aztec... John." He said. I watched as John joined Naveen, Kayley and Jasmine. "And finally..." He trailed off, looking at one side.
"Wait, hold on! Hold on! Wait, I'm here!" A voice said. I knew that voice. I looked over and saw Rapunzel. Her hair was in a longer braid than Jasmine's.
"Team Mayan..." He trailed off.
"I'm sorry I'm late. I'm never late." She told Gaston as I watched her walk past me with shock on my face.
"...Rapunzel." He finished.
"Rapunzel?" I asked, still shocked. It wasn't a good type of shock though.
She looked at me and she was shocked too. "Aurora?" She asked.
"Dude, those chicks could be sisters." I heard Hercules say but I was too busy looking at Rapunzel.
I walked over to her. "What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Me? What are you doing here?" She asked.
"Dude, they are sisters." I heard Aladdin say but I didn't look at him either.
"Is this some kind of joke?" I asked.
"How did this happen?" She asked at the same time as my question.
We had a bit of a stare down. "I quit!" We said at the same time as we looked at Gaston then we looked at each other again.
"You can't quit. I just quit." She said.
"They I'll stay. I mean, there's no sense in both of us leaving." I said.
"Wait a minute. You just tricked me into thinking that you were quitting so I would quit first. It's not fair. Well, you know what? I changed my mind. I'm not quitting." She said.
"Well, neither am I." I said.
"I'm in." We said at the same time then had a stare down with each other again.
I was in the room I would share with Rapunzel. "Mom, this is blocking my chakras." I told her.
"We were afraid you'd back out if we told you." Mom said, over the phone.
"Well, you would've been right about that." I said.
"Well, I guess you girls will just have to work it out." Mom said. I met up with the others in the lobby of the bungalow. I was standing next to John.
"This bungalow's your home base for the next week. My name is Jack. I'm your show liaison. But you'll notice, there's cameras out by the pool and in the common areas like that one." He explained, pointing at a direction. We saw a camera then looked back at Jack. "Bedrooms and bathrooms are private. Remember, guys, you're on national television. You don't want the cameras to catch you doing anything embarrassing. Tonight, you'll be treated to dinner and a night on the town. This will give you a chance to get to know your friends and your enemies. I will see you all in one hour." He said and wlaked away.
"So you're gonna be rooming with your sister?" John asked.
"Yep. Talk about a challenge." I said with a soft laugh and walked off. John followed to head to his room. I got back to the room but I was behind Rapunzel. I saw that she was about to take the bed by the window so I rushed to the other side and we both set our bags on the same bed. We both looked at each other.
"Why do you get the bed near the window?" She asked.
"Because, I need the fresh air." I said.
"Well, I like fresh air, too." She said as we were piling our things on the same bed.
"You live in an apartment with the windows sealed and the air conditioning blasting." I said.
"How would you know? You haven't been there in two years." She said.
We looked at each other for a bit then she looked away. "You can come to LA, too, you know. I mean, airplanes do fly both ways." I snapped at her. I was talking when she screamed. "What? What is it?" I asked.
"Spider." She said, taking her shoe off. She was about to kill it.
"Don't! No!" I yelled, grabbing her shoe. We were on the edge of the bed that was close to the spider. We looked at each other. "He has just as much right to live here as you do." I said.
"He? That's not a he; that's a it." She said, looking at the spider then back at me. I looked at it too then back at her. She was trying to take her shoe out of my grip.
"All living organisms play an important role in the ecosystem." I told her, pulling back on the shoe.
"Do you know how ridiculous you sound?" She asked and I let go of her shoe. She got up and put her shoe back on.
"Don't touch that spider." I told her, getting up too.
"You know, you should really think about taking a stress management class." She said. The two of us kept arguing as we were getting ready for the party.
