A Special thanks to all of my readers and reviewers.
This chapter starts off at the beginning of The Trust Episode…
"And today's breakfast Hawaiian-Italian fusion casserole," Chef exclaimed as he handed a plate to Gwen.
"You mean the leftovers from the cooking challenge?" was her reply.
Hearing this Chef's temper flared: "You got a problem with me Maggot?!" he asked as he raised a chef's knife threateningly.
"No Mr. Chef Sir!" Gwen exclaimed giving chef a salute, also remembering the first day when Geoff nearly had his head cut off.
"Good… Now, go sit down maggot!"
Gwen rushed to her seat, while Chef sat laughing about how she ran away. Gwen reached her seat right as Heather let out a little sneeze. After Gwen heard the sneeze Gwen asked smirking, "Need a little Advil? or do you prefer Tylenol?" Leshawna smirked a bit as well
"Shut it Weird Goth Girl! You think you can lock me in a freezer and get away with it? Well you won't, you'll be sorry!"
Gwen was making blah blah hand motions about Heather to Leshawna who was covering her mouth with her hands suppressing a laugh.
Heather, furious, began to speak again, " you are such a ah ah choo." before she finished the sentence she sneezed all over Gwen and Leshawna.
Leshawna spoke up, "That is all kinds of nasty! I think I'll go change." Gwen agreed and went with her.
"I hate it here!" Heather screamed outraged.
-Meanwhile-
Duncan was getting coffee in a mug and while Courtney was looking at something else waiting for her turn he tried to stuff a mug under his shirt. Unfortunately for him Courtney had seen him do it.
"Hey I saw that! How could you just steal a mug?"
"Because it's cool looking and I don't have one- didn't have one that is."
"But you might get kicked off."
"Aw … and I thought you didn't care about me."
Noticing she had been caught she came up with a quick, reasonable excuse: "well, if you are kicked off, I would be kicked off as well."
"You didn't say we might get kicked off, you only said that I might gat kicked off. By the way I know you dig me."
"Ugh why do I even bother!" she didn't say a word to him the rest of the meal.
-O-
Chris watching all of this from his camera room exclaimed "now lets turn this into a fun for me at someone else's expense challenge. This is going to be awsome!"
-O-
Everyone was sorted by team and standing on the dock. Chris began speaking: "So, last weeks challenge exposed a few Gopher issues…"
Both Gwen and Leshawna glared at Heather who scoffed and looked away.
"… and I'm sensing something funky floating in the bass pond too…"
Duncan poked Courtney who, forgetting about that antlers, pushed him full force, causing them both to fall. This earned laughs from all the contestants and the host.
"Hahahaha ah hem. So, this weeks challenge is going to be centered around building trust. Because all good things begin with a little trust."
- Confession Cam
|Gwen| "I trusted Trent once … he left me buried alive on the beach."
- End Confession
Chris again began speaking, "There will be three major challenges that will have to be completed by two or more members of your team. Normally we like to have the campers choose who will be their partners, but not this time. More fun for me. For the first challenge you will be doing an extreme freehand rock climbing adventure. DJ and Duncney will play for the Bass; Heather and Gwen for the Gophers." seeing the look of confusion on some of the campers faces Chris decided to explain, "Since if Duncan participates, Courtney must as well, I've decided to use the pairing name that the fans gave them to refer to them as a group."
"oh… ok" the contestants who were confused said.
"Here's you ballet and harness." he said throwing them to the Gophers. Heather snatched them up immediately.
"Hey what's your damage?!" Gwen exclaimed
"If you think I'm letting you hold me up, you're dreaming."
"You won't be holding her up exactly. One camper pulls the slack through the ballet as the partner climbs. If the camper falls the ballet will stop them from crashing. The catch, both the side and the base of the mountain are rigged with a few minor distractions; like rusty nails, slippery oil slicks, mild explosives, and a few other surprises."
"Wicked!" Harold shouted.
Chris continued, " The person on ballet must also harness their partner up." While he was saying this Heather and Gwen were glaring at one another, "It's all about trust people, and remember, NEVER LET GO OF THE ROPE. You're partner's life depends on it."
Gwen raised her hand: "Excuse me, can we trade partners. I really don't feel like being dropped on my head today."
Heather responded, "Please, as much as I love your company, I'm not going to throw a challenge just to kill you, yet. Now spread 'em"
Duncan and Courtney were trying to harness DJ. "Never tried this before. You?" he questioned looking at Duncan.
"Oh yeah, they teach you how to climb walls in prison all the time."
Bunny climbed out of DJ's pocket and DJ picked him up: "Sorry little buddy, you can't come up with me. You can trust Geoff he's my buddy." DJ then called out to Geoff, "Yo, Geoff, hold Bunny while I'm on the rock, Thanks G!"
"Sure man" he then looked down to Bunny, "Little furry dude, what's up?"
Heather had just finished getting the harness on Gwen and uttered the words, "There, you're all hooked up."
Gwen, skeptical, turned to look at the harness: "What's the second rope for?"
Heather, smiling, came up with a lie: "It's a back-up line."
Gwen doubted Heather and asked, "What are you smiling about?"
"Nothing, I'm just really happy we got on this challenge together." Gwen gave her a look that said, 'I don't believe you.'
- Confession Cam
|Heather| "It's all her fault, for messing with me. I have got a doctorate in revenge and humiliation."
- End Confession
-O-
Both Gwen and DJ were climbing. Gwen was staring to pass DJ, when an explosion went off and sent Gwen screaming a far ways down before she stopped.
"It's ok! I've got you!" Heather yelled
Chris faced the camera and said, "I promised surprises, El Diablo Hot Pepper Sauce anyone?" He pointed a gun toward the teens holding the ropes.
He shot Heather first, who shouted: "Hey! what the heck, Chris!" She let go of the rope in favor of rubbing her hot sauce burned eyes; this caused Gwen to fall all the way to the bottom.
Duncan knew better and had given both himself and Courtney sunglasses. So when Chris shot them Duncan even opened his mouth to eat some of it. "Is that the best you can do?!" Duncan exclaimed. The hot sauce produced a bit of fire in his mouth and he blew it on Chris.
Chris, singed, whispered to the camera man, "Is that the best we can do?"
Again Gwen was climbing faster that DJ when Heather called out to her, "Come on Gwen you don't want to fall behind." Heather pulled one of the ropes and Gwen's skirt ripped off, leaving her in her dark purple undies with a pink skull on the back. The skirt fell on DJ's face covering his eyes. Gwen seeing that her skirt was off screamed in embarrassment. Duncan seeing this took of his sunglasses and said said, "Well, you don't see that everyday."
Chris agreeing with her added, "No you don't, my man, no you don't"
After Duncan had loosed his hold on the rope, from the unexpected weight Courtney almost fell over. Seeing Duncan staring at Gwen she kicked him in the shin: "Hold your part of the rope!"
Duncan shook his head clearing his thoughts and grabbed hold of the rope.
DJ pulled the skirt of his face and wished he hadn't because he now noticed that his face was about a foot or two away from Gwen's but. He looked down at the ripped skirt in his hands leaned back and started falling, dropping the skirt. Duncan was not really paying attention again and looked down to see two loops in the rope around one of both his and Courtney's feet. Courtney who was the only one actually pulling at the moment couldn't fight that DJ weighed a lot more than her because of his muscle. The ropes tightened around their ankles and sent them skyrocketing toward DJ. Courtney bumped the back of her head on a rock. Duncan then spoke out loud what he was thinking, "This bites."
"Big time." DJ responded, "Is she ok?" he asked referring to Courtney.
Duncan answered, "Just a bump on the head no big deal, she'll be fine."
Gwen who had managed to grab her skirt when DJ dropped it said, "Ah, Skip it." She carried the skirt in her mouth and continued to climb the wall.
"looks like the Gopher's have won the first Challenge" Chris announced.
"Yeah!" Gwen exclaimed raising the hand that was holding her skirt. She looked down and say her undies, and tried to cover them up with the skirt, "Man."
-O-
Bridgette and Geoff were against Lindsey and Trent for the next Challenge. A guy who looked nothing like Chris jumped in the window doing a series of front flips, landing behind the podium. Chris popped up from behind the podium as the guy tried to crawl out.
"It's time for round two, the Extreme Cooking Challenge!" Chris announced enthusiastically, "Each team must decide who Cooks and who eats."
Geoff looked at Bridgette, "I was head chef last time, you'd better cook."
Lindsey said to Trent, "ooh, Todd, I'll be the cook."
- Confession Cam
|Trent| "Ok, she's no Steven Hawking; but, hey, it's cooking. How bad could she screw it up?"
- End Confession
"Today you will be preparing Fugu Sashimi, the tradition Japanese poisonous blowfish."
Chef Rang a Gong and Trent looked terrified, while Lindsey looked happy.
Chef began pointing at a projection with a pointer stick "Thee Fugu blowfish contains enough lethal toxin to kill thirty people"
Chef grabbed them by the tail and yelled, "Fishes, meet your maker!"
He began pointing again, "They must be sliced very carefully to cut around the poisonous organs."
Lindsey was poking the blowfish with a knife
Chris continued talking, "The poison paralyses the nerves, and there is no antidote! so no worries"
Trent then grabs Lindsey and frantically asks, "You have taken biology, right?" She nods, "phew"
She then pokes it with the knife again and it goes flying around the room like a popped balloon ending up crashing through the window.
-O-
Bridgette places a piece of basil on top of her finished meal. Lindsey picks up a bottle of ketchup to squirt on hers. Bridgette puts the plate in front of Geoff. Geoff, looking scared, grabs a piece and prepares to eat it. once he is done chewing it and swallowed, he smiled that he was still ok and exclaimed, "Excellence!"
Lindsey drew a smile on her dish with ketchup and presented it to Trent: "Tah Da!"
Trent looked very scared as he took a bite of it on his fork. his eye began twitching, he punched himself on the side of his head three times, and he screamed. He then weakly laughed and smiled like he was ok. Lindsey smiled back hoping she got it right. He then fell over and had turned a blue-ish grey color: "I thought you said you passed biology."
"I said I took Biology, I never said I passed."
Trent then grabbed his neck like he was choking and began to throw up.
Chris, uncaring, said, "It's cool give him twenty-four hours and he'll be up and breathing good as new."
Geoff asked, "Uh, is anybody going to help this guy?!"
Chef began to bend down to give him mouth to mouth, Trent began chocking more than he already was.
-O-
Geoff and Bridgette, now in their swimwear rushed toward the water and Geoff cried, "Last one in is a rotten blowfish!" Geoff stopped "whoops, whoa! almost forgot I need to put Bunny in a safe place first."
Bridgette stopped too: "You know it was brave of you to eat that fish"
"No biggie I knew I could trust you, you're cool. Do you know what else is cool?" he began to jump into the water, "WooHoo!" Bridgette dived in after him.
-O-
Trent was in the medical tent trying to scream, as Chef walked in holding a needle. Chef began to talk, "This won't hurt a bit … it'll hurt a whole lot."
-O-
Bridgette was using a towel to dry off while Geoff just shook the water off like a dog. Bridgette looked to where they left Bunny and gasped. A python was about to eat the poor little thing.
Geoff had seen too and screamed, "No!" he rushed to save him screaming "Bunny!" But it was too late the snake ate the poor defenseless bunny. Geoff then tried to tackle the snake to get Bunny back but an eagle dove from the sky and took the snake just before Geoff tackled it.
Bridgette worried for Bunny exclaimed "The eagle, Geoff! Get it!"
Geoff looking up at the flying eagle asked, "How!?"
"Grab it by the feet, or wings, or something!"
The eagle landed at the edge of the dock and Geoff started to try to sneak up on it, talking to the eagle: "That's it, here, eagle, eagle."
A shark leapt out of the water and ate the eagle. Geoff then yelled, "oh come on!"
-O-
All of the campers were standing in the woods, Courtney was still knocked out and Duncan was trying to keep from falling over. Chris began speaking: "Good news the third round involves three more challenges. I begins with the blind William Tell, followed by the blind trapeze, and culminating in the treacherous blind toboggan race."
DJ whispered to Geoff, "Where's Bunny? I miss him."
"Uh, Bunny, uh, I'll go get him." Geoff said as he walked away
"Like the legendary marksman William Tell you will be knocking arrows off of your partners head with crabapples." Chris explained
"Chris, Wasn't it the other way around?" Harold asked.
"Do you want it to be the other way around Harold?" Chris asked him back.
"No I guess not …"
"Good, now also the shooter will be blindfolded." Chris said putting the blindfold on his face
Everyone looked at DJ who was the example. and slowly backed away, Duncan dragging Courtney along with him. Chris shot a crabapple at DJ and hit him right in the kiwi's. Chris then took the blindfold off and said, "Aw nuts. Duncan and Sadie, and Leshawna and Owen. Sadie and Leshawna are Shooters and Duncan and Owen get the arrow. Ok let's go"
Duncan dragged Courtney to where Chris told them to go. Owen walked to where he was supposed to go. An arrow was put on Owen's head and an arrow was put on Duncan's right between the antlers. Chris also gave then all protective glasses and put a pair on Courtney just in case.
Leshawna and Sadie began shooting the apples and Owen seemed to be unfazed when they hit him, but Duncan was getting hit in the face and he even had one go dangerously close to his kiwis. finally one of the apples Leshawna shot hit the arrow on Owen's head he said, "Wow."
hearing this Leshawna peaked and asked, "Did I get a bull's-eye?"
Sadie, determined to hit the arrow said, "I've got it this time!" and shot another arrow
Chris told her, "Leshawna won already" The apple hit Duncan square in the face, another one hit a bear, then a seagull, then a sasquatch in its cave. The last one hit Duncan right in his most precious area.
Chris grabbed Sadie, "Sadie, It's over let it Go!"
"oopsie, sorry" was the only thing she had to say. Duncan despite how tough he was with the assaults to his head and his kiwi's fell to the ground and was now unconscious alongside Courtney. Since both of them were down now Chef grabbed their antlers and dragged them to the medical tent.
The rest of the challenge will be continued next chapter. as always if i made any mistakes let me know. Reviews are appreciated, and constructive critisism is accepted.
