Chapter 2
ADAM'S P.O.V
I arrived in Australia, where the show was going to be filmed, the flight had been comfortable, but tiring, probably due to the fact that I was alone and had no-one to keep me company. As part of the show, I was allowed to bring along 2 guests, but they weren't allowed to accompany me to the show, for some strange reason, but they would be waiting for me when I was either voted out or won. I collected my baggage, and headed to the hotel I would be staying at for a few days, before I was sent into camp. When the cab dropped me off outside though it was pretty dark due to it being nearly midnight, I was amazed to find it was a top hotel, especially since I wasn't having to spend a dime on anything.
"Enjoy your stay". The clerk told me before I took my key and went up to my room, where I found all my freebie items from the show.
My bed was covered in tank tops, tracksuit bottoms, shirts, socks, a pair of hiking boots and a cowboy hat. We were only allowed so many items in our bags, but our main items of clothing were the items that were laid out on our beds. They were personal items that had our name and a phone number on the backs of them for viewers to vote for us.
I had one day, before being driven off into the middle of the bush and dumped with another 11 people, who I wouldn't know from atom. It was a little intimidating to say the least, but I was gonna do this for the ducks. I called Guy and Goldberg to let them know I had arrived safely, before going to bed for a few hours. I slept for more than a few hours, as when I awoke, there was a knocking at my door. I sluggishly got up and answered it, to find it was one of the hotel staff.
"Excuse me Sir, but we have been asked to tell you, you have to be in the lobby in 1 hour". I nodded in response, before closing the door.
1 hour, nah, that couldn't be right. I still had loads to do. I checked my watch, before realizing it was still Wisconsin time, I checked the bedside clock and realized it 3pm, I had slept for 14 hours straight. It suddenly clicked in my head, I had to get washed, dressed, packed and eat in exactly 1 hour. I dashed toward the shower, before hastily getting dressed, and throwing all the clothes I'd need into the bag I had been given, next was to squeeze in all the things I'd want/need. The first thing to go in, was my treasured Mighty Ducks jersey then just a few odds and sods that would keep me occupied, throughout the long days and nights I would be there.
I headed down to the lobby, where one of the bell boys took my bag from me, much to my protest. I was escorted outside to a jeep. I was half expecting some of the other shows guest to be sharing with me, but again, it was just for me. Once out of the small city of which I had been staying in, we bounced along the rickety roads towards the famous Australian bush. The climate was boiling and I soon found my shirt un-buttoning and then being taken off and tied around my waist. All the windows were open and the fresh breeze was revitalizing. By the time, we arrived at our designated spot it had turned 7pm. I was glad to get out of the car, my legs needed a good stretching.
"Adam Banks"? An official looking guy, headed over to me, carrying a clipboard and had a headphone and microphone set sat upon his bald head.
"Yeah". I replied.
"Come with me". He turned immediately and began leading the way, to wherever I was supposed to go.
He lead me inside this tent, where immediately a few people surrounded me, covering me with wires and hooking a small box onto the waistline of my pants. No-one offered an explanation as to what they were doing, and I asked no questions. Next they began going through my baggage, checking that I hadn't brought anything I shouldn't have. Once my baggage had been cleared, I was pushed toward a room, where I was interviewed. They asked me questions about why I entered this show, and what hockey team I played for. After the interview, I was pushed toward yet another door. There were a few people just sat inside, not paying any attention to what was happening, I was just about to do the same when...
"BANKSIE". I heard my old nickname, being called from a red headed guy, who I immediately recognised.
"Averman". I headed straight for him, where I was pulled into a manly hug.
"What are you doing here"? He asked, but not really wanting an answer.
"I'm here for the show". I answered, just for the sake of it.
"Cool, so am I". He replied.
"So how's college life been treating ya"? I asked, trying to start conversation to save us both from being sat in a semi uncomfortable silence.
"Yeah not bad, I'm doing better than I thought I would". He answered.
"You went with Ken and... Luis, didn't you"?
"Yep, they'll be waiting for me when I get out. Whose waiting for you"?
"Guy and Goldberg". I answered, then silence took over.
I glanced around the room, there was 2 girls and a boy, each sat as far away from each other as possible. One of the girls looked a little similar to Connie, but I knew for definite that it wasn't her, as she was being far too quiet for it to be Connie. The other girl, was sat in the corner, glaring slightly at the brunette, but then smiling toward me and Averman and the other guy. The guy just sat there, picking any possible dirt from under his nails. Wow, if everyone was like them, this was gonna be one fun show.
The next person was a young woman, I didn't particularly take any notice of her at first, simply because I expected her to sit as far away as possible from everyone like the others had. But after the first glance at her, I realised she looked incredibly familiar. I nudged Averman, and he looked at her, before whispering something.
"If it ain't Julie the Cat Gaffney". He shouted over the room.
"Averman, Adam". She turned on hearing her name.
"Long time, no see Cat". Averman stood as he pulled her into a hug.
"Hey Adam". She hugged me as I stood to greet her.
We quickly caught up, with what we each had been doing, it was more comfortable now that Julie had appeared than it had been when it been just me and Averman. I watched as another guy was pushed into the room, he looked around the room, before choosing a seat close to the brunette. Within the next half an hour another girl had entered and immediately began talking animatedly with the first guy. She reminded me more of Connie than the first girl, but only in personality.
"Well I'll be damned". I heard a VERY familiar voice yell.
"Spazway". I was the first to get up and greet him.
"Fancy meeting you hear". He joked as he gave Julie and Averman a big hug.
"It's like a duck reunion, shame the others couldn't get on the show". Julie commented.
"Fulton's here, he got in with me". Charlie told us.
5 minutes later, as promised Fulton walked in, more than a little shocked at the small reunion we had going, but none the less happy to see us. The others in the room, seemed a little surprised too, upon seeing that we each knew each other. I couldn't have been any happier at that moment, knowing that I was about to enter something I had dreamed of doing since I had been a kid playing hockey with the very same people. The only bad side to it, was that, not all the ducks were present, but I knew they'd be watching. I hadn't expected to see any of the ducks let alone the four that were already there, so instead of taking anymore notice of the last two contestants, I began chatting idly with my four friends. I was only vaguely aware that, who I thought the last person to enter, had entered, it turned out I was wrong.
"I'm deeply hurt". A voice began. "You started the party without me". She continued.
"Well if it isn't our own party girl, Connie Moreau". Charlie stood up and ran over to her, where she was trying and failing to look hurt.
"Hey Charlie". She giggled and dove into a hug with him. She leapt into a hug with each of us, but saved the biggest for her once best friend Julie.
I knew, that with the 6 of us there, we'd have a blast, and I hated saying it, but I knew it would be even more fun now that Connie was here. Her middle name had been fun back in high school.
