"How did you get back from The Chamber?"
"Got hit by a car, and Eric brought me home."
"Oh my God, are you OK," she asked as she sat on the couch and held him.
"Obviously. I'm talking, breathing and bitching about my problems, so I must be fine." Courtney rolled her eyes and grabbed Duncan by the hair and pulled. "Let go of the hawk, please!" Courtney pulled on his hawk hard once more before letting go of his hair.
"You need to learn to quit being such a smart aleck all the time."
"Princess, I've been like this for all 38 years of my life and nothing, not even those kids of our's have changed me. And our relationship hasn't either so I think you're fighting a never ending battle."
"I wouldn't say that. You've came a long way since we first met and I think more changes are in the future. Just wait til we have our first grand kid."
"La, la, la, I don't want to hear that. I'm still a young guy that all the ladies want, I don't want the thought of grand kids running through my head." Courtney grabbed Duncan by the hair again and pulled hard.
"And if a lady wants you, what do you say?"
"No thank you, I'm married, I can't do anything that my wife says no to."
"Thats right, now who is my convict?"
"I am, Princess."
"I have a surprise for you Duncan," she said in a seductive tone. She licked his earlobe then stood in front of him. She grabbed the waistband of her capris then pulled them down and Duncan's eyes got wide. She pulled on the back waistband of her panties and and Duncan saw a bulge in her panties. She pulled them down and Duncan saw she had the piercing that she had been complaining about getting.
"Does Duncan like?"
"Duncan loves Princess, Duncan loves. What happened to not wanting to feel all the pain?"
"Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I told the lady I wanted it done and within a couple of minutes, I was pierced. So why don't we see how good this piercing will make it feel for us?" Duncan nodded with an enthusiastic grin as Courtney walked towards him.
Fade Out
We come back yet again and Courtney is pulling her pants back on as is Duncan.
"Holy cow babe, that made it better." Courtney said, her hair messed up and her shirt ruffled.
"For you, it just rubbed the hell out of me. Wait til I get my piercing back and it will make it so much better, you remember how great it was."
"How could I forget? You took my virginity and we got stuck together like 2 dogs in the winter. It was the greatest, but most embarrassing night of my life."
"It was like that for both of us. It wasn't my first time, but it was the best I ever had. You were the greatest girl I had ever been with and I knew from that moment on that we would be together forever. You actually showed me more love in that time then any all of the girls I dated combined. I knew that you would be the girl that I married and it made me the happiest man on the planet when you said you would marry me."
"I was surprised it took you that long to propose to me. I would have married you right after we did it, if it would have been possible." Duncan leaned over and kissed her, a passion that Courtney loved as she wrapped her arms around the back of his neck.
BACK 2 THE KIDS
Ryan ran past a camera, Will, Destiny and Sam following him.
"Ryan, come back, it will be OK." Sam yelled. The camera followed them as Ryan ran to the end of the docks then collapsed to his knees. He started yelling to the sky as his friend, sister and girlfried circled around him, They sank down with him as tears rolled down his cheeks. Destiny had trails of mascara down her cheeks as she hugged her brother. Sam and Will hugged them as they cried about their father's accident.
"Why the hell does this keep happening to us? Both mom and dad have been hit by cars and it just seems like nothing could ever go right for us." Ryan sobbed out. Destiny gave her brother a reassuring squeeze as he continued to cry.
"He's OK Ryan, Chris said dad just had a concussion. Its alright, just calm down. Besides, we have Chris's challenge and you know we have to be ready for it."
"I know, I know, but how can I concentrate. when-."
"Your dad is on the phone." Sam said as she handed it to Ryan.
"How are you feeling dad?"
"Great, wonderful in fact. What are you crying about?"
"I'm not, I'm not."
"Ryan, I'm your dad, besides, I can hear your voice cracking a bit and you keep sniffling like you're sucking snot back up your nose. You were crying about my accident, weren't you?"
"How could I not. To hear that my dad, the man that I looked up to all my life was hit by a car and hurt, it hurt me."
"The only thing you need to worry about is winning and taking care of your sister and Sam. Worry about them, yourself and Will before you worry about me and your mom. We're adults and we can handle our own probs bud. Now I'm gonna hang up and as soon as I do, you had better nut up and win that competition, just like your old man did. Do you understand me?"
"Yes sir. I love you dad."
"I love you too Ryan." Ryan hung the phone up then handed it to Sam. He got up then walked past his friends and into the woods. He pulled his Ipod out and watched a video of Carlos Mencia . It made him laugh as Carlos did a bit about Michael Jackson . He pulled his pack of cigarettes out of his jacket then lit one up. He took a long drag from it and let out a chuckle.
"Michael Jackson doesn't even look like a human being anymore. Do you understand that if aliens took over the planet, it would seperate all the races, it would look at Michael and go, "Aww fuck, you got here first. Shit. we're late captain, we're fucking late." Do you think he did it, I don't know, but I will tell you this, the problem here isn't Michael, the problem is fucking parents. Michael fits the profile of a phedophile, is he one? I don't know, I don't fucking know, I wasn't there. But does he fit the profile Fuuucccckkk yes. He's like a phedophile the to fucking 30th degree on paper. Other phedophiles have fucking candy, "here little kids I got some candy", Michael that fuckers on a while nother level, "Hey I got a roller coaster, I have elephants and giraffes in my backyard." Other phedophiles are like how the fuck do you compete, he's got a godamn park in his house. Why the fuck parents take their kids to Michael Jackson's house? "Well I didn't know he was a phedophile." Dick look at him dance, he's got the moves wah kick in the hand and he he, what is that. What is he he, what the fuck is that? Ahh the move of submission and repant right on the hand. What is that? I ain't taking my fucking kids to goddamn Michael Jackson's house, I don't even let my kids go to fucking church."
Ryan cracked up laughing then flipped the cigarette as it neared its end. He turned his Ipod off then walked out of the woods.'
"Hey Ryan."
"Aww shit." Ryan swore under his breath. He turned to face Zach who was dressed in lime green hip huggers, exposing his ankles, a black mesh shirt cut to expose his midriff, flip flops and several bracelets. His shoulder length hair was dyed blond with pink tips in slight curls.
"You're looking sexy today Ryan."
"Zach, how many times have we been through this? You're a guy, I'm straight and dating Sam. You're a great friend but I'm not into you like that. But you are bi right?"
"Yeah, but what does that have to do with us?"
"There is a girl that has a crush on you."
"Oooohhh who?" Ryan leaned in his ear and whispered a name in his ear and Zach's eyes got wide. "Really, Angel is into me? But why would she be interested in me?"
"You have fashion sense, you have the best hygeine out of all the guys, you take people's shit and don't fight back which is good since shes a pacifist, and you've always got an awesome smell coming from you. What is that anyway?"
"Ed Hardy, best smell out there for a person to wear."
"Let me borrow some of that some time, would ya?"
"Yeah, besides, I've got several bottles of it at the house."
"But when it comes to Angel, you just have to be sensitive and nice to her. Compliment her. Walk with me, talk with me. The most important thing is learn to lie. Like last week Sam asked me if the skirt she was wearing made her look kinda like a whore. Now I didn't want to tell her yes for 2 reasons. 1 was because you never tell a woman an outfit makes her look like a whore and 2 the skirt looked sexy on her. I would do anything to have her keep it on forever. But the thing you need to do is just be yourself. When you talk to her, tell her the truth, if you think you were given a hint, then ask her out."
"How will I know if she's giving me a sign?"
"Thats for you to decide. Only you can tell that, but be sure that its the sign and that you really want to go out with her. It's a big decision."
"Woah, woah, woah, calm down, you sound like my mom when I told her I wanted to go to a modeling camp instead of summer camp. But to this day I never regret that option. Had alot of people hitting on me, even a perverted counseler."
"OK, lets go to conversation. You want to seem interesting and manly to the women. Favorite movie?"
"I think that would be Dirty Dancing. Patrick is great in the dancing scenes." Ryan slapped him upside the head.
"No, no, no, women don't want to hear that kind of stuff. Try again."
"Umm. Titanic, because of the passion and Leonardo is so cute through out the movie, even when he was spitting." Ryan hit him upside the head again.
"No man, thats not some- well actually that sappy shit could work. She like DiCaprio too, that is if Sam was telling the truth. Fave music artist?"
"Emilie Claire-Barlow. Shes a great jazz performer, she reminds me so much of your mom, shes sexy and it just makes the music more awesome." His eyes glazed over for a second before Ryan hit him again.
"Don't be talking about my mama like that."
"Wasn't talking about her was talking about Emilie."
"You need to say something she likes like doesn't her mom and her like Surfer Girl by The Beach Boys or Barbie Girl?" He asked with a slight chuckle.
"Actually she is a big fan of The Beach Boys. "
"Great, now the rest is up to you. This is as much as I'm going to help you so if you want to ask her out, you grow some balls and ask her out, do you understand?"
"Yeah, thanks for the pep talk man."
"Always happy to help a fellow man get a girl. Now go and score yourself a girl. But there is one more thing I should tell you. Ted is bi too."
"Kind of obvious there Ryan. Me and him did try dating a year ago, but we kept it secret. We found it romantic like Romeo and Juliet."
"Good to know. Now go man, go and make me proud." He gave Zach a quick bro hug then ran off to his cabin. Zach walked around for a few minutes then walked into Angel of all people.
"Angel, can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure Zach."
"Lets walk, its a nice day." The 2 of them started walking but Zach didn't speak.
"So what did you want to talk about?"
"Uh, I was... I was...uuuggghhh." He let out a frustrated cry and kicked a tree repeatedly. "Forget it, its not important."
"No, you said you needed to talk to me, now you're going to talk to me." She said in a firm tone. She turned him around, looking him dead in the eyes and her's softened from hard diamonds into soft snow. He had tears in his eyes and Angel could tell they were tears of anger and embarrassment. "Whats wrong? What has you so upset?"
"Its you, you have me like this."
"What do I have you upset?"
"." He mumbled quickley.
"What?"
"."
"Slow down and stop mumbling." She said with a slight annoyance.
"I wanted to know if you wanted to go out." He said followed by a long sigh, finally having that weight off his chest. A blush appeared on Angel's face and she giggled.
"Why would you ask me out? I thought you might go for Ted or Ryan."
"Ryan kept telling me no and Ted isn't my type. Besides you're cuter and much more reasonable then those two. You can keep a cool head in a high pressure situation. Plus I like how you don't like to fight either." Angel leaned forward and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"You smell good. What is that?"
"Ed Hardy girls love it guys wear it. I like your smell, what is it?"
"I don't wear perfume. All you smell is my hairspray and body wash."
"What kind of body wash do you use?"
"Laugh if you want but I use Axe Shower Gel. Its made for men but gentle enough for a woman. Plus I love the smell."
"Me too. You smell like a guy but you're pretty as a dolphin."
"Oh, I love dolphins, did I ever tell you about the time me, mom and dad swam with the dolphins in Flordia?" Zach shook his head. "It was a couple of years ago when I was 13 mom and dad took me to Flordia for my birthday and we swam with the dolphins. It all would have been good if I didn't have my first period. That sucked the most because I was wearing a white bikini. We were all mortified and I stopped swimming when it was that time of the month."
"Why would you tell me that?" Zach asked with partial disgust.
"You're my boyfriend so why wouldn't I?"
"Even if I am, thats not something I care to know. That would be like me telling you I took one of my mom's toys for my own pleasure then felt up my cousin in the garage during Thanksgiving."
"You what?"
"Nothing, you heard nothing."
"So we both have our own secrets, I want to hear more."
"NO, not until I hear more of your's." The two of them kept talking as Ryan looked on from a tree.
"Thank God Aunt Izzy gave me lessons on secrecy." He laughed quickly then as he tried to shimmy down the tree he fell, landing on his lower back. "OK, gonna need more lessons, my girlfriend and a bottle of Icy Hot." He limped towards his cabin then laid on the bed. He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and texted Sam.
"Cum 2 cabin quik. Need help." It didn't take long before he heard the door open.
"Ryan, whats wrong?"
"Fell from tree, landed on lower back, can you please put some Icy Hot on it? The bottle is in my case." He heard a sigh and then his bag being unzipped then his shirt was lifted and Sam rubbed the Icy Hot on his back. "Oh God, thank you babe." She got off the bed then punched him in the arm. "What was that for?"
"I was busy when you texted."
"ATTENTION CAMPERS, REPORT TO THE MESS HALL FOR YOUR FIRST CHALLENGE!"
"Fuck, help me up please." Sam grabbed his hand and pulled him up. "Let's hope this challenge isn't too bad." The two of them walked out of the cabin and to the mess hall. Ryan looked around and saw Destiny sitting with Will who was eating what Ryan thought was a brownie. He saw Zach over in a corner, his hand lock with Angel's. Ryan smiled and nodded to his friend. Zach mouthed a thank you and Angel gave him a wink. Chris came out of the kitchen area and stared at the 11 kids.
"For today's challenge you will have to do something to amuse me. Today's challenge is dancing. Now as there are 11 of you, there will be 4 doubles and and group of 3. You can dance however you want, we don't care, but you will be graded on how well you do individually and as a group. You have 4 hours to practice, so get to work." He walked out of the mess hall and the kids started making their teams right away. After only a few minutes and the teams were decided. It would be Ryan and Sam, Destiny and Will, Angel and Zach, Ted and Megan, and finally Randi, Jet and Hannah. Everyone went off to their own areas and started discussing what they were going to do. Will and Destiny decided on a simple dance called the waltz. Zach and Angel decided on the Tango. Ted and Megan wanted to show off thier athletic prowess and decided on a high octane dance filled with fllips, jumps and sumersaults. Ryan and Sam decided to do the final dance from Dirty Dancing and Randi, Jet and Hannah were pretty much stumped on what to do. The kids practiced for a couple of hours then picked out clothes from the outfits that were provided.
"ATTENTION CAMPERS, REPORT TO THE COLLESIUM IN 5 MINUTES OR RISK ELIMINATION!" Everyone started running towards the out door stage and after a quick head count he asked the teams. After his question was answered, he chose Ted and Megan to go first. They stepped up and started to dance. To finish their dance Ted did a sumersault and Megan backflipped over him. Chris gave them a 7 and Chris a 6.
"Up next will be Zach and Angel." As the 2 of them danced, they pulled the dance off, ending it with Zach spinning Angel into his arms then leaned her forward and planted a kiss on her lips, much to everyone's approval. Chef gave them a 6 and Chris a 3. Up next, Will and Destiny. They danced flawlessly except that right at the end Destiny tripped on her heels and landed face first on the stage. They got a 4 from both Chris and Chef. Next up would be Ryan and Sam. They pulled off the dance perfectly until the end. As Sam came running at Ryan he lifted her up but fell and Sam ended up landing crotch first on Ryan's face. Destiny got up quick, both her's and Ryan's faces blush red. 2 from Chris and Chef. And finally Hannah, Jet and Randi. The 3 of them took center stage, each with a hat and sunglasses. A song played in the background and most of the campers realized that they were dancing the Too Cool dance. (go to youtube and find it) As they finished, everyone stood flabbergasted. They had pulled off the dance perfectly and Chris and Chef both held up a 10.
"Congratulations you three. You have won immunity and the rest of you are up for elimination tonight. So from now until then, think about who you would eliminate." The teens stood some with anger and some with dissapointment, but all with fear, fear of being eliminated.
That night
Chris stood at the upturned barrel, used as a podium, marshmellows on his plate.
"The first 3 marsmellows go to Jet, Hannah and Randi. Next is Megan, Sam, Will, Angel, Ted, and Zach. Campers, this is the final marshmellow. Who will go home? Destiny or Ryan? Brother or sister? Sister or brother? The final marshmellow goes to..." The camera flashed between the 2 siblings, before Ryan stood up.
"The final marshmellow goes to Destiny. I'm not going to have my sister eliminated so that I can stay." He went over to the podium and gave the marshmellow to his sister then kissed her on the head. "Make the family proud and win this." He turned to Sam and gave her a deep, passionate kiss. "I'll be rooting for you at home, stay safe. Will, keep my sister safe. Zach treat your girl with respect and to the rest of you, I love you guys. No homo." He left the area, with everyone astounded.
"That is definately the weirdest elmination we've ever had." Ryan came back a few minutes later, his travel bag on his shoulder. He kissed Sam one more time then hugged Destiny and Will then boarded the Boat of Losers.
"Ryan took the fall for his sister and showed that he was willing to give it all up for his morals. What will his parents think? Find out next time on Total Awesome Kids." The camera faded to black as tears rolled down Sam's face.
Back to Parents
Duncan and Courtney sat on the couch, both surprised and proud of their son.
"Did your son just give up the chance at 3 quarters of a million dollars?" Courtney asked.
"No, our son did. He gave it up to make sure his sister stays. He did something I never would have done or expected him to do." Duncan said with much happiness in his voice.
