Disclaimers: Disclaimers for Power Rangers in the first part of the story. . .oh! But I forgot to add the disclaimer for Real World/Road Rules. Yes, I don't own that either. . .the idea of the challenge belongs to MTV. There you go.
Author's Notes: Finally, we get to episode three =) A lot of
tension will be building up and people will start to be bitchy
and prickly, so the rating's going to change along with the
"language". . .and aughh! So many romance plot lines to
follow! Only a few will actually make it onto the show. Despite
this, I hope you'll all still stay tuned to the rest of the
series as it builds.
If you're wondering about the standings of each pair in the
competition, here are the results:
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
As you can see, Taylor and Mike are at the head of all
pairings, with 18 points. I crossed out Carlos and Aisha from
group one and Chad and Kelsey from group two because they were
voted off. I also didn't put their points--every pair that's
voted off will not have points The number "1" in
parenthesis next to their name shows at what mission they were
voted off on. I'll update this table on each episode as it
changes. I will add the table of rooming when I update with the
next episode.
I also wanted to add one stress--in the MTV show, they are
banding together because they are Real World vs. Road Rules. In
this challenge, it isn't Group 1 vs. Group 2--it's every man for
himself (or woman for herself *wink*). The reason they're divided
into the groups is to make the elimination easier and more
reasonable than just one big group.
Okay, that's it for the notes. More notes at the end. As always,
please review--and when you do, please leave your e-mail address
too so I can respond to your comment if needed. Now, onto episode
three!
Power Rangers Extreme Challenge
Episode Three: Outcast
By: stargazer_1017
Dana winced when she pulled off the covers and got out of bed. She turned to look at her roommate, Kendall, who was lying on her own bed. "Ouch! Is it just me, or are you hurting too?"
[Dana: "It's been about two days since the terrible obstacle course, and my muscles still hurt like crazy."]
Kendall rolled off her bed and landed on the floor with her knees. She looked up to Dana and laughed. "Nope, it's me and you," she assured her with a smile. Dana laughed as Kendall crawled to a chair and helped to get herself off the floor. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"What, that if we had a mission today like what we had two days ago, we'll be dead?" Dana replied lightly, grabbing her brush and running it through her hair.
[Kendall: "Dana said it so calmly, like it was nothing. The things you train for when you're a ranger." She shakes her head.]
Kendall opened her mouth to give a reply when there was knocking on the door. Dana turned to Kendall and when she nodded back at her, Dana walked carefully to the door and opened it. Her face immediately brightened into a smile. "Hey guys, good morning!" she said, opening the door wide to reveal Carter, Joel, and Angela.
"Hey Dana. We're heading down to the dining hall to get some breakfast. You ready?" Carter asked.
Dana nodded. "I'll be ready in just a minute. Why don't you guys come on in?" Carter turned to Joel and Angela, who nodded at him and they walked into the room. Kendall smiled as the three walked in. "Good morning," she greeted them.
"Hey Kendall," Angela smiled at the young woman. "So how are you enjoying the challenge so far?"
Kendall rolled her eyes. "How am I enjoying it? I'm tired, my muscles hurt, and I'm anxious because I don't know when the next mission's going to happen or what's it going to be," she replied. Then she gave a smile. "But other than that, I'm fine."
Everyone laughed and Dana walked into the bathroom and shut the door. "Hey, I understand what you're going through. I didn't train like these guys," Angela said, pointing to Carter and Joel.
"Heck no! Only the special ones go through training like we did," Joel said, straightening his vest and smiling smugly. Kendall raised her eyebrows at Joel and turned to Angela. "Is he always like this?" she asked jokingly.
"Yes," Carter and Angela replied, laughing.
*****In the Dining Hall**************
"So what did you want to do tonight?" Wes asked as he stabbed a piece of egg on his plate. He was seated at a round table with Jen, Karone, Ashley, Andros, and Katie.
[Katie: "Ever since we got here, Jen and Wes haven't spent a night apart." She pauses and purses her lips. "I mean, they've been out with each other every night." She pauses again. "You know what I mean."]
"Well, I was hoping we'd go shopping at the small shopping center that they have down here," Katie replied, digging into her pancakes.
Wes laughed. "Uh, Katie? I was talking to Jen." Katie looked up and saw everyone smiling at her. "I knew that," she insisted.
Jen shook her head. "Isn't there a small fair going on somewhere? I think I read it in the newspaper. I've never been to one before."
Wes shrugged. "Then we'll go tonight. How does that sound."
"Sounds good to me," Jen replied. Ashley's eyes lit up and she turned to Andros. "Hey, we haven't done anything on the island yet," she told him and then turned to look at Jen and Wes. "Mind if we follow you guys? You know, like a double date?"
Jen looked at Wes and he shrugged. "Sure, it'll be fun," Jen said, smiling. She turned to look at Katie and Karone. "If you guys are up for some rides at the fair, why don't you guys join us too?" Katie nodded. "Yeah, but I'll probably end up meeting up with you guys later."
[Karone: "I wanted to go out with them. The fair did sound like fun, but the other night I went out with Rocky, some people were acting weird towards me."]
***Flashback***
"How does some ice cream sound?" Rocky asked as he and Karone were walking down the street. Karone nodded. "That sounds great," she replied with a smile.
All of a sudden, someone bumped into Karone--hard. She fell to the ground and looked up at who bumped her. There was a middle aged man standing above her, eying her coldly. Karone frowned and stared back at him.
"Karone! You okay?" Rocky asked, extending his hand to help her up. Karone nodded as she took his hand and got up. As she dusted herself off, Rocky frowned at the man. "Hey, next time, watch where you're going. Someone could get hurt," he said politely, yet firmly.
The man's glare shifted from Karone to Rocky. "You dare to be seen with. . .her?"
"And what is that supposed to mean?"
The man turned to look at Karone, who was also frowning slightly at him, and then turned back to Rocky. Then he spun on his heel and stalked off without another word.
***End Flashback***
Ashley frowned at Karone's unresponsiveness. "Karone? Karone, are you okay?"
Karone looked up from her food to see everyone looking at her with concern. "Is there something wrong?" Andros asked, his attention on her immediately. Karone forced a smile on her face. "No, I'm okay. I was just thinking," she said, waving her hand dismissedly.
"Thinking about what?" Andros asked.
Karone looked at everyone and opened her mouth to speak. Then she closed it--then she said, "Have any of the locals been acting weird towards any of you?"
"Weird? What do you mean?" Wes asked, his mouth partly full with food.
"I mean, like have they been taunting or just saying--different stuff."
Katie frowned. "No, nothing like that. And I've been out millions of times."
Jen turned to Katie. "Oh really? And when have you had the time to go out? I thought you said you were staying in the villas with the others."
[Katie: "Whoops. Almost got caught there."]
"Well. . .when you weren't looking. . .I snuck out."
Wes turned back from Katie to look at Karone. "When we were out there, no one said anything to us. Well, okay, some kids actually came forward with cameras and paper to sign our autographs on, but that was it. Nothing really out of the ordinary. Did something happen when you were walking the streets?"
Karone looked thoughtful for a moment and then shook her head. "No, I guess it must've been me or something."
"Still wanna come out with us?" Jen asked, wiping her mouth with a napkin. Karone shook her head. "No thanks. I think I'll just stay in with everyone tonight."
Jen nodded and then her communicator beeped. She raised her left hand, which held her chrono morpher, and an image of Kai appeared on it. "Jen, tell the others that a mission's coming up soon. Tell everyone to be ready."
[Karone: "Another day. . .and another chance at a mission. . ."]
*********************
"That was so much fun," Ashley declared with a smile. It was almost 10:30 p.m., and she and Andros were walking towards the door of the restaurant they just ate at. Andros shrugged. "It was okay," he said nonchalantly.
Ashley turned to him with a surprised look on his face. "Okay? The night was just okay?" She laughed and shook her head and took a hold of Andros' hand as they walked outside. "You were screaming on the roller coaster back there."
Andros laughed too. "Okay, so it was better than just okay," he admitted.
[Ashley: "When you know a guy, you really know him." She smiles widely."]
All of a sudden their laughter stops as a bottle crashes on the ground near them. "Huh?" Ashley wonders outloud, spinning around to look at where the bottle came from. Her eyes widened at the sight before them--there were a crowd of people, with picket signs. Ashley gasped the messages on the signs.
"We don't want any aliens on earth."
"We are Earthers!"
"Go home you freak!"
"What's going on?" she called out to the crowd. "What are you doing?"
A middle aged woman pointed to the couple. "You and your boyfriend are invading our land. We are earthers--send this alien home!" she yelled with a heavy pacific accent and pointed at Andros. The crowd roared with agreement and started waving their signs and torches. Another bottle flew into the air and Andros shielded Ashley, but the bottle hit just a few feet behind them. Andros slowly got up to turn to the crowd, but Ashley spoke first. "How dare you speak to him this way!" she started but the woman cut her off again.
"You call yourself an earther! This alien doesn't belong on this island, and he doesn't belong on the planet! Along with the other two aliens that you have brought here!"
[Andros: "When she said, the other two aliens, I realized
she was talking about Karone and Trip."]
[Ashley: "Come to think of it, Trip did mention something
about him being harassed by locals when he first got here. They
made fun of his hair and the way he looked."]
Ashley reched for the morpher on her left hand and tensed. "Is there a problem here?" another accented voice spoke up behind Ashley and Andros. They spun around and saw a police officer.
"Officer, thank goodness," Ashley said, taking off her grip on her morpher as she and Andros approached him. She pointed to the crowd. "Can't you do anything about this?"
The officer looked at the picketers and stared at them. After a long moment, he turned back to the couple. "Why don't you two head back to your villas? You'll be safer there."
Ashley's jaw dropped. "You--you can't do anything to stop them?"
The officer sighed. "The best I can do is to tell you to get home before something else erupts. Now, you can take my advice, or you can stay here and take the risk. You chose."
[Andros: "It was a do or die move--and the officer wasn't even going to step in to stop the people from protesting."]
Ashley shook her head unbelievingly. She was going to open her mouth to say something when Andros squeezed her hand. "Come on, Ash, let's get out of here," he said quietly. Ashley turned to him and then back at the crowd. They were still holding up their signs and holding their torches.
[Ashley: "What bothered me the most was that these people weren't afraid of the police officer because they knew he was probably on their side."]
*************************
"Did you hear about the protesting last night?" Trini asked the next day at breakfast. She, Kim, Zack, Tanya, Adam, and Damon were sitting at a table together.
"You mean with Andros and Ashley? Yeah, she told me about it last night," Tanya said.
[Tanya: "Ashley was pretty distraught when she arrived--and since I knew her back at Angel Grove High, I've never seen her as stressed out as she did when she and Andros got back."]
"Man, how can they be treating them this way?" Damon wondered, taking a sip of water. "I mean, they're humans too. It's not like they're growing some kind of tentacles out of their heads or bodies or whatever. . ."
*********At another table********
"Poor Ashley and Andros," Alyssa murmured, shaking her head.
[Cole: "We were right behind Ashley and Andros last night, and all of a sudden, this crowd of people cut us off and started to chase after them with some signs and lit torches."]
"The Galaxy Rangers and I came from space too," Mike said.
"But you weren't actually born in space," Taylor pointed out. "You were born on Earth."
"People shouldn't be treating others this way," Adam said. "When it comes down to it, we all hurt and live the same way, whether you're from KO-35 or Zybria."
Then a tapping sound was heard throughout the dining hall. "Uh-oh, mission?" Danny wondered outloud.
[Max: "And I'm still hurting from the obstacle course, thank you very much."]
Kai and T.J. walked onto the stage. "Good morning everyone. How are you all doing?" T.J. asked, taking the microphone.
"I'm still hurting!" Joel yelled to the two onstage. Everyone laughed and Angela again extended her hand to slap Joel on the arm. "Thank you for that comment, Joel," Kai said. "You're all wondering what mission's coming up and we're here to set your mind at ease."
[Dana: Moans. "Oh no!"]
[Wes: Flexes his arm muscles and winces a bit. Then he cracks a
smile. "Still alive."]
"Don't worry, it isn't as harsh as the obstacle course you did at first. You guys are lucky--this is a fairly easy. . .well, I shouldn't say easy, but less physically-demanding challenge. Everyone, get dressed in shorts and a sleveless shirt or some sort of cool gear, because I guarentee you'll be out in the sun for a long period of time."
[Max: "Less physically demanding? What the heck does that mean? I didn't know they could actually give us that kind of challenge."]
"Everyone, just be ready before lunch, because as soon as we get some food in your stomachs, your mission's going to start."
******Noon-time*************
"What do you think the mission's going to be about?" Dana asked Carter as they stood right outside the dining hall, waiting for Kai and T.J. to show up.
"I have no idea. I thought all these mission or challenges were going to be. . .challenging," Carter replied. He turned to look at Dana. "Still hurting from the past mission," he asked with a grin.
Dana gave him a friendly slap on the arm. "Hey, watch who you're making fun of," she warned, but smiled up at him.
"Hey guys," Tommy said as he and Kat approached them. Carter smiled at them. "Hey. Are you guys up for today's mission?"
"Are you kidding? I'm think I'm the only one still hurting from this mission," Kat replied. "Tommy here says the mission was great exercise."
[Dana: "Well look at the guy--he's buff!"]
Jen walked towards the group and asked, "Hey you guys, have you seen Kim?" When Jen mentioned Kim's name, Kat bristled slightly--but enough for Tommy to notice.
[Tommy: "She's doing it again."]
Tommy opened his mouth to reply when Trini and Katie walked towards them, along with other pairs ready for the mission. "Jen?" Trini said, "If you're looking for Kim, she was looking for you--she said you had something of hers."
"Where's she at?" Jen asked.
Trini pointed towards the inside of the dining hall and Jen went inside. Suddenly, T.J. and Kai walked up to the group that had already formed. "Is everyone ready?" Kai asked.
Kendrix shook her head. "There are still some people in the dining hall finishing up," she replied. Kai nodded and everyone waited for the others. After a few minutes, everyone was accounted for and Kai and T.J. led everyone outside. "Okay, I know you're wondering what the mission's going to be about and we promised it was less physical-demanding than the obstacle course and it is. Your second mission is a treasure hunt."
[Max: "Say what?"]
[Mike: "A treasure hunt? What kind of challenge is
that?"]
[Ashley: Bites her lip. "The mission itself sounds easy--but
if we have to go out into the public, it could be
dangerous."]
"A treasure hunt? How does that work?" Kendrix asked.
"You'll all be given different clues that lead to different places around the city," T.J. explained. "But all of your clues will lead up to one certain place in the city--that's where the treasure is."
"There will be 17 stones there, for each group of course, and each will be marked with numbers ranging from 1-17," Kai continued. "If you're the first pair to arrive at the stones, you will grab the number 17, standing for the amount of points that we'll add to you and your partner's score at the end of the mission. For example, Taylor and Mike, you have 18 points right now, and if you grab stone number 17, your total score for the challenge so far will be 35."
[Cassie: "Over my dead body."]
"After you get your stone you and your partner must bring it back here to check in with the points you have. Any questions?" Kai looked around the group and saw a hand go up. "Yes, Zack?"
Zack put his hand down. "What if we don't have a stone to bring back?" he asked.
Kai turned to T.J. who answered the question. "Well, you need a stone in order to get points. Otherwise, you and your partner will have no points to add to your total." He looked around to see if anyone else had any other questions. When no one had any, he turned to Kai. "Let's get started."
[Kim: "I think the scavenger hunt's going to go great. As long as we can get to the stones in time, before anyone else in our group does, then we'll keep our lead. At this point, it's still kinda early in the game. . .so as long as we don't get stone number one, we'll can always catch up."]
"Think we need a strategy?" Alyssa asked as she and Cole signed their names in on a piece of paper. Cole shook his head. "With your brains, we'll pull through this," Cole said confidently.
[Danny: "Kendall and I really need to work together on this. It's still been tense between us. Everytime I talk to her, she doesn't want to say anything."]
Danny approached Kendall and asked, "You ready to sign in?" Kendall nodded and went towards the table without a word to Danny.
[Danny: "It's tearing me apart because even when I had a crush on her, we were so much closer than this."]
By the time Max and Kat signed their names in, more than half the amount of pairs had gone off in search of their next clue. Max opened his piece of paper and read. He looked at Kat, who leaned over to read with him, and said, "Damn, it's all in rhyme too. It says 'Bust some moves, can you take the heat?; Before you groove onto the next clue, you've got to get this beat."
Kat frowned. "What does that mean?"
[Max: "I was thinking bust moves. . .groove. . .beat. . .then it hits me!"]
Max looked up at Kat excitedly. "I think I got it! Come on, we have to head down to the arcade--and it's on the other side of the town." Kat nodded and they rushed off--but not before Kat turned around to look for someone. Max caught this and gave her a little tap on her arm. "Come on, Kat!"
[Kat: "I looked around for Tommy and Kim, and they were gone by the time Max and I had caught on to our clue."]
"Hey, taxi!" Max called out, waving his hand in the air. When the taxi came, he and Kat got in. "Take me to the arcade," Max told the driver. The driver nodded and drove off. When they reached the arcade, Max paid the driver and they walked into the arcade.
"What do you think the clue means?" Kat asked Max, who was looking around the darkened room. Max didn't reply--instead, he rushed towards one of the arcade games. "A game?" She asked, looking at the dance buttons on the ground which the person playing would obviously have to step on to play the game.
Max nodded. "Maybe the clue's on this game," he said, going all around the machine to look for a piece of paper. Kat stepped forward and helped him too.
"If you want your next clue, you must beat the game."
Max kept looking around the machine, but Kat turned around and turned to look at the man who spoke. "Are you--the one who owns this arcade?" she asked the short, stout man with a smile on his face.
He nodded. "Does your clue not say anything about defeating the game?" he asked.
Kat turned to Max, who had stopped looking. Max brought out the piece of paper. "You've got to get this beat," he read. "Beat. . .we have to play the game?"
When the man nodded again, Max and Kat turned to each other and said at the same time, "You're playing."
"Why me?" Kat asked. Max sighed and looked at the game.
[Max: "It did look like fun. And I had heard of Dance Dance Revolution."]
Max turned to the arcade owner. "How many times do I have to beat it?"
"One level is fine enough."
Max nodded. "Okay, then," he said, rolling up the sleeves of his orange shirt. "Let's get it on."
******Across town***********
[Ashley: "Andros and I headed towards the fairgrounds with our clue--it sounded like where the next clue would be located."]
"We're getting there, Andros. We've already got the second clue. We're almost there," Ashley said as she and Andros around the dunking booth at the deserted fairgrounds. "Know what surprises me though?"
"What's that?" Andros asked. He stopped looking around the dunking booth and turned to look at Ashley.
"We've walked around the whole town and we've seen no protesters, no people, nothing. . ." Ashley said.
[Ashley: "It's not that I wanted locals to be there ready to hurl things at us. It just really . . .surprised me. I mean, they probably know about our mission today. The whole city's probably been alerted."]
Andros didn't respond. Instead, he took back the piece of paper out from his pocket and moved to stand next to Ashley. "The next clue's in a fun and breathtaking place. So get wet and don't get a sunburned face." He frowned. "Do people get sunburned when they do the dunking booth?" he asked.
Ashley's faced took on a pensive look. "Well, the dunking booth's our best bet--fun place. . .wet. . ." Then she frowned. "But the fairgrounds open at sunset. You can't get sunburned."
"A pool maybe?" Andros suggested. Ashley nodded at the suggestion and they went on their way.
[Andros: "We went to the pool and asked one of the lifeguards there if maybe he had a clue for us."]
"And you are?" the lifeguard asked. "We're Ashley and Andros," Ashley replied. The lifeguard shook his head. Ashley turned to Andros. "Okay, the pool's out of the question. . ." Then her eyes lit up. "Maybe it's at the beach!"
"The beach?"
"Yeah, fun, wet, sunburned. . .all of that happens at the beach." Ashley grabbed Andros' hand and they walked off to the main street to get a cab. After they reached the beach, they got out and looked around. "It's too large a place to cover," Ashley said, disappointed. "Maybe I was wrong."
Andros didn't reply. Instead, he had his gaze directed at something. "What is it, Andros?" Andros pointed to a cliffside. "Right there," he said. Ashley squinted her eyes and saw what he was pointing at--a large red and yellow flag floated in the breeze on the top of the cliff on the roadside overlooking the ocean below. "That's it! Come on, let's go!" Ashley said as she and Andros started running towards the cliff.
[Adam: "Then that's when things started to go haywire."]
"Look down there," Andros said, pointing down into the water from where they stood on the cliffside. There was a small buoy in the water. Andros turned back to Ashley. "I think that's our next clue." Andros started to back up a bit and Ashley asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to dive into the water," Andros replied.
[Ashley: "I had a bad feeling about it."]
Andros dived in and his head bobbed up a couple of seconds later. "I guess this'll be awhile," he said, grinning. He dived in again.
Ashley watched him, to make sure he was okay, and then she heard a large commotion behind her. She spun around. "Oh no," she moaned, watching as a crowd of people with picket signs walked towards her.
"Where is he?" a woman, the same one who spoke for the picket-holding crowd a night ago, called out.
Ashley narrowed her eyes. "None of your business," she said.
[Cassie: "Adam and I ran as fast as we could from the beach to help Ash out. By the time we got there, they started picking up rocks and stones."]
Cassie ran to Ashley's side. "You okay?" she asked and Ashley nodded. "Where's Andros?" Cassie asked, looking around.
Before Ashley could answer, the crowd moved to the edge of the cliff. "There he is!" the woman screamed.
[Adam: "Then stones and rocks started flying into the water."]
"Andros, look out!" Cassie yelled.
"Andros! Stay under as long as you can!" Adam called out to his friend. Then he turned to Cassie and Ashley. "Try to keep these guys down and I'll go for help." When he ran off, Cassie moved to halt the crowd, but they didn't stop.
[Cassie: "I tried to stop them, but I couldn't just knock
them out to get my way. These are civilians."]
[Ashley: "But I couldn't stay by. Andros was diving under
water and coming up for air, and he couldn't hold his breath
underwater for so long."]
Ashley held her fists in the air. "Stop it! Stop it!" She screamed, rage on her usually cheerful expression, her eyes shut tightly.
[Cassie: "Then it happened."]
The rocks that the people were throwing stopped suddenly in mid-air. Then they flew back and hit the people. Cassie gasped as some people fell to the ground, while some winced when they were hit. Ashley flew open her eyes and some of those still standing were knocked to the ground by some invisible force.
[Andros: "With the time Ashley was with me, I had taught
her how to use telekensis. She was a quick learner--thank
goodness."]
[Cassie: "But even though Ashley had reason to knock those
guys out, we all still got in a lot of trouble."]
************Back at the villas***************
Christian McGee paced on the stage, apparently upset. Then he stopped and turned to all the rangers. "We're--obviously having some problems staying here, so we have to leave. I've booked you all tickets to Hawaii, where we'll continue the rest of the challenge."
[Angela: "I love Hawaii--but I'm upset that we had to leave this way."]
Cassie, who was standing next to Ashley and Andros, put her arm around Ashley's shoulder and squeezed. "We have, innocent civilians hurt from today's event. . ."
[Cassie: "Innocent?"]
". . .and Trip's been injured," Christian McGee finished.
"Trip?" Cassie asked. "Where is he?" Everyone turned to Katie, who had her morpher open. Lucas's hollographic image was above her morpher. "He's at the hospital," Lucas replied.
"Is he all right?" Dana, who was standing next to Katie, asked.
Lucas nodded. "A bump on the head from something someone threw at him, but he's fine. Can't wait to get back to the villa," he replied. As his image disappeared, everyone turned back to Christian McGee. "The last mission is aborted, and will not resume until we have settled ourselves in Hawaii and made sure we're actually welcome there."
[Leo: Rolls his eyes. "This jerk acts like it's our fault. We're rangers--if anyone's in danger, we step in and take the challenge."]
Andros and Ashley walk outside, holding hands as they and the other rangers head back to the villa to pack their things. They say nothing as they walk, and their hands part as their arms go to encircle each other.
********Next time on Power Rangers Extreme Challenge*********
[Leo: "Mike and Taylor are definitely getting closer after each day."]
"It's not fair," Cassie muttered as she and Adam walked away from the mission they just had. "They're soldiers--they know this kinda of stuff."
[Karone: "The top three pairs in Group 2 have been
changed somewhat since the last mission."]
[Adam: "Cassie really wants to be in the top three and she
wants to win the money."]
[Alyssa: "I overheard Cassie talking with Ashley and Rocky
about how in order for them to make the top three, they needed to
split Mike and Taylor."]
"So in order for us to win, we've gotta try and get Mike and Taylor to turn on each other, so they won't work as well as a team. Right now, they're almost untouchable. Almost," Cassie said, looking back and forth between Ashley and Rocky.
[Alyssa: "And I was right there!"]
"Hey, just let the game play out! If you want to go after Mike and Taylor by splitting them up, do it by yourself. Don't bring in other people and start some kind of a mutiny!" Alyssa said, clenching her fists as she approached the three. Ashley opened her mouth to speak but Cassie got up quickly and faced Alyssa. "If you can tell me that being competitive's against the rules for the competition, then I'll stop. But if you can't say anything, back off."
[Adam: Shakes his head. "The things people do for
money."]
[Rocky: Looks excited. "Let the battle begin!"]
Author's Notes: Whacko ep, huh? I know, it's a different one.
. .I have no idea how I came up with this idea. I figured some
people have different opinions of things--like how people don't
want us to be in Afghanistan and some do *shrug*
Oh, and just some more explainations I didn't add at the
beginning. People, I paired everyone up for a reason.
There will be obstacles people will face when they're not paired
up together but just because people are not paired together, it
doesn't mean that they will not end up together. And like I said
at the notes at the top, there are a lot of romance plots to
follow--unfortunately, not all will be followed. I'm still
working on who's going to be with who. . .but most of the
storylines I have down are already chosen. The only suggestions
that I'm still looking for are missions. Running out of ideas for
that one. . .
And sorry, not so many Tommy/Kim moments in this ep--or maybe not
much in the next. But this "pairing" will go through a
lot coming up. That I can promise.
I bet you're thinking, Hawaii? Yep, that's true. . .hopefully
more missions will come up on that one. . . and a more romantic
place to be too *wink, wink*
