Another morning. Everyone gathered at the breakfast table, only to find that all the frogs were cooked last night. Frog was kind of happy that he wouldn't have to cook other frogs, but he acted like he was disappointed as he gave out the last of fruit they had collected yesterday.
Lucca realized that the webpage she looked up was probably up by now. She walked over to her computer, and sure enough, the Reality Show page was up. She almost couldn't believe what she was reading.
The page told all about how the whole thing with them being forced to stay in the dome really was a huge game to him. He was taping everything that occurred in the house to make a hit reality show series on the Net. Great. Her and her friends were just toys to this Entity. What disturbed her even more, however, was the section of the page titled "Plans."
"Tonight, on Day 4, I have a surprise planned for the entire cast, especially Ayla. Don't miss it! Day 5 will be even more action-packed. There will be a special challenge where the whole cast must battle a horde of power monsters, and the last person standing wins. On Day 6, the next voting takes place. Barring immunity, the front runner for getting voted off looks like Ozzie. This may all change soon..."
What in the world was he talking about? As confused as she ever was and not much better informed than she already was, Lucca walked away from her computer. A surprise tonight? From what she knew of the Entity, that was bound to be something less than pleasant. Whatever it was, she'd better stay on guard, and keep an eye on Ayla.
Lucca volunteered to go hunting today, and she asked Ayla and Crono to go with her. This hunting trip turned out to be the most productive yet, with the total haul being five chicken-sized yellow dinosaurs, plus a good deal of fruit. It was mostly thanks to Ayla's keen hunting abilities, but Crono and Lucca kept that little fact to themselves. Lunch was great; Frog and Lucca grilled two of the dinosaurs to make more than enough meat for everyone. To the surprise of everyone, there were even leftovers. Marle froze the perfectly good dino meat so that it wouldn't spoil.
Melchior returned to his room. His work of art was finally finished. Admiring the glistening metallic blade of the sickle, Melchior held his finished creation. Magus would be quite pleased with this, the one weapon that could defeat the Masamuse.
Melchior and Magus met in a dark corner of the unused storage room on the first floor. Magus looked anxious. Melchior, however, was cool and calm as he usually was.
"Do you have the Reaper, Guru Melchior?"
"Right here, Janus."
Melchior slowly handed the sickle to Magus, who held the weapon in front of him, admiring it. No doubt, Melchior was a true craftsman. Magus took a few practice swings at an imaginary opponent.
"This is capable of defeating the Masamune?"
"Yes it is, Janus, but be careful. The Reaper can be used for either good or evil. In your hands..."
"Cut the speech, Melchior. I have a little score to settle."
Lucca decided she had to find out more about what was going on with the Entity broadcasting their life in the house across the Net. She didn't have time to put up with her computer's load times, so she rigged up a T435534 modem from a old chewing gum wrapper, an extension cord, and her left sock. The Entity's webpage came up instantly when she clicked on it. Now, to view the clips from the shows...
A list of movies she could view came up. The first one was Lucca and Schala, Night Two. What in the world was this? Lucca couldn't contain her curiosity and watched the movie.
Lucca and Schala walked into their bedroom. Lucca looked over at her chemistry set, then looked at Schala. "I just got some new acids and electric motors to play with. You wanna help me out with a few of my little experiments?"
"No thanks."
"Come on! It'll be fun!"
Schala just started walking over toward her bed, then the video just cut off.
"What the...?! He made it look like we... We'd never... He took everything out of context! I was a perfect lady last night! I hate that Entity! Hey, what about this movie of Frog and Ayla?"
Ayla kept lying in bed, looking hungrily at Frog. It was kind of disturbing. Then, Ayla got up on all fours, reared back, then pounced at Frog like a cat. The screen went black just when Ayla was about to hit Frog. The video ended with a brief shot of Frog lying on top of Ayla, just like Lucca had found them in the morning. So something did happen... or was this another out-of-context video? Lucca signed off again.
Dinner was fine. Melchior and Nu fixed the dinosaur in some strange new way. It looked grilled, but the grill marks were black like it charred by an electrical current. Besides, they had no grill. Another great meal awaited the group, and afterwards everyone retired back to the bedrooms.
In the bathroom, Ayla just finished taking her shower. She turned the water off, stepped out of the tub, and looked for her clothes, but they were missing.
"Where Ayla clothes? Reptites take? No, Reptites gone. Maybe Ayla friends take for funny joke. Ayla go ask friends."
Ayla wrapped a towel around her head and went to go ask about her missing clothes. She went over to Magus's room and tried to open the door. It was locked.
"Magus, you take Ayla clothes?"
"Why would I take your clothes, Ayla?"
"For joke?"
"You forget, I have no sense of humor."
"Magus right. Ask Crono."
Ayla walked over to Crono and Marle's room. It was unlocked, so she just opened the door and walked right in. When she did, Crono looked up from his bed, getting a full view of Ayla. Embarrassed, he quickly blushed bright red and closed his eyes.
"What Crono turn red for? Just Ayla! Crono know where Ayla clothes are?"
Crono told her he didn't know what she was talking about.
"Crono no lie? Okay."
Crono opened his eyes to see if Ayla was gone, but she was still standing there. So as not to insult her, or so he told himself, Crono kept his eyes open and attempted with to make eye contact with her. If only it wasn't so dark, he could see her better. Her eyes, this is. You know, for a cave woman, she didn't look half...
"Crono sure not know where Ayla's clothes are?"
Crono said yes, then watched as Ayla left. As he slid back under the covers, he looked over at the other bed in the room, where Marle was lying awake, looking at him. "Goodnight, Crono. Just keep your eyes shut next time."
When Ayla stepped outside, she saw a little Poyozo carrying her clothes. She quickly ran up behind it, picked it up, took her clothes back, then threw the Poyozo as hard as she could against the wall. Ayla got dressed, then went on to bed like nothing happened.
Jimmy was enraged "No! Not Miglio! He was my favorite! You're all gonna pay! I'll import the baddest monsters I can get from another universe, then I'll squash you all tomorrow!"
Jimmy quickly got on the phone with the ruler of the crossover exchange, Mysterious Voice.
"Yo, MV, I need a favor. What's the most dangerous monster I can get by tomorrow?"
"Well, Jimmy, you're just supposed to be holding the Chrono Trigger universe together until the real Entity gets back from that business trip. I don't think..."
"I said I want monsters! And lots of 'em! As evil and vicious as they come!"
"Well, I can get you a whole load of Cactuars from various Final Fantasy universes, plus an evil clone of a main character from a Final Fantasy if you let Lavos guest star in a Sailor Moon..."
"Okay, done!" said Jimmy, hanging up the phone.
