(Here's the next chapter for my recent story. Thanks to FanFictionBoy for reviewing chapter 3. Oh come on readers. I must have more reviews for this story. Anyway, here's the next chapter. Who's gonna go? Read this to find out.)

(Audience applauds as the show comes back.)

Brooke: One of you will have his or her parade rained on. Let's find out who it is going to be. Mathew who did you vote for?

I voted for Alex. (my handwriting of Alex's name appears on the small screen below my name.) Just go figure, Brooke.

Brooke: 1 vote for Alex. Sam, who did you vote for?

Sam: I voted for Alex as well. (her handwriting of Alex's name appears on the small screen below her name.)

Brooke: Ohhhhhh! 2 votes for Alex. It doesn't matter, Alex, but who did you vote for?

Alex: Not that it matters, but I voted for Sam. (her handwriting of Sam's name appears on the small screen below her name.)

Brooke: Okay. 2 votes for Alex. Let's find out why. Mathew, why did you vote for Alex.

I voted for Alex because she too couldn't stand rain at camp, along with me, but since Sam wants to go head to head with me again, I just couldn't vote for Sam because she is just too sweet to vote for a challenge. It has nothing to do with a bathing suit, but if Sam wants to go head to head with me, I don't even mind.

Brooke: But what if Alex wins this challenge? Then she'll either be going head to head with you or Sam.

I don't really mind it.

Brooke: Okay, Sam, why Alex?

Sam: Well, I wanna go head to head with Mathew just like last time, and if I do, I'm not gonna go easy on him like last time.

Brooke: What if Alex wins?

Sam: I never thought of that.

Brooke: Well, Alex, either way, you have been chosen for this challenge. Are you ready?

Alex: I am pumped to do this, Brooke.

Brooke: Okay. Let's get you in your bathing suit and see if you can complete this challenge. Please take a walk with me to the tank.

(Alex takes a walk with Brooke to the tank.)

Brooke: Alright, Alex. Here we are in front of "The Perfect Storm". Here's what you have to do to keep yourself safe from the dog pound. Grab onto the net hanging above the tank, and detach those flags, which will send a part of the net down into the water. There are 8 flags that you have to pull. Also, you'll be doing it in the rain. Get all 8 and you win, and you get to pick who you want to go head to head with, and who's going to the dog pound. You'll have 2 minutes to complete this challenge. If you leave any flags hanging, you're in the dog pound. Got it?

Alex: I get it for sure, Brooke. 100 percent understood. I already know who's going to the dog pound.

Brooke: Let's see if you can win it. Before we get started, why don't you get into your bathing suit.

(Alex takes off her clothes until she's reduced to her 2-piece yellow bathing suit.)

Brooke: Okay, Alex. Now that you're in your suit, let's put 2 minutes on the NetZero Countdown clock. Are you ready, Alex?

Alex: Ready.

Brooke: Oh, and one more thing: let's start the rain.

(The rain begins to fall on Alex.)

Brooke: 3, 2, 1, GO!

(Alex tries to jump onto the net, but she misses it and falls into the pool.)

Brooke: Oh she missed it. Come on, Alex.

(Alex grabs onto the net and climbs up to get the first flag. Alex detaches it with ease, and carefully tries to climb across to the next one. Alex gets there with ease, but as she reaches for the next one, she takes a wrong step climbing up a little higher and falls back into the pool again.)

Brooke: Oh she fell off again. Come on, Alex! You can do it, girlfriend! Come on!

(Alex climbs back on, and carefully climbs up the net again, and detaches the 2nd flag with even more ease. She now goes to work on the 3rd flag.)

Brooke: You have 2 1/2 minutes, Alex! Come on, girl. You can do it!

(Alex grunts as she carefully climbs to the 3rd flag. When she gets there, Alex reaches for the flag, and detaches that with ease. 3 down 5 to go.)

Brooke: 3rd flag for Alex. You have 1:50 left, Alex.

(Alex keeps her focus up and goes as hard as she can. She reaches the 4th flag and tries to detach it, but as she's reaching for it, she loses balance and falls back into the tank for a 3rd time.)

Brooke: She fell in again! Come on, Alex! The audience is on your side! You have 1:30 left!

(The audience is cheering as loud as they can to give as much love as they can to Alex.)

(Alex starts to slow down a little bit, but she keeps her focus up. She reaches for the 5th flag, and detaches it with ease.)

Brooke: You're almost there, Alex! Come on! You have 45 seconds left!

(Alex starts to slow down a little, but she keeps on going. She tries reaching for the 6th of 8 flags, but as she tries reaching for it, she loses her focus, and falls back in the tank.)

Brooke: Oh she fell again! Come on, Alex! You have 25 seconds! Come on!

(Alex tries to strive forward, but she's so tired she can't even move. So, she tries using her legs, and they start to work to her advantage. She gets the 6th flag detached, and now she sets her mind on the second to last flag.)

Brooke: Come on, Alex! You're so close! You have 10 seconds left to get that final flag!

(Alex climbs up the net to get the final flag while the audience does the countdown. But as she tries to get the final flag with 3 seconds left, she falls back into the tank.)

Brooke: Ohhhhh! She missed that final flag! Time has expired! Come on out of here, Alex. Walk me through it.

Alex: When I missed that net at first, I was so surprised that I actually did that. When I got in a rhythm, I had it easy, and I had it tricky. The rain was what was really hurting me. That was why I was falling in the tank so much.

Brooke: Well, Alex. No one can say you didn't even try, but you did. Once again, another impressive performance, last time it was on a word challenge, this time, a physical challenge in the pool, and you couldn't do it unfortunately. But again, another impressive attempt, but the bad news, you're off to the dog pound. Audience, give this girl a nice round of applause for her endurance. We'll get you dried off, Alex, and send you off to the dog pound.

(Audience applauds as Alex walks over to the dog pound still drenched and in her bathing suit.)

Clover: Nice attempt, Alex.

Alex: Thanks, Clover. It's really too bad I had gotten that leg strategy figured out so late. (gives Clover a high 5.)

Brooke: Well, it's down to the cute couple once again. Mathew, Sam, please come and join us, you 2.

(Sam and I take a walk next to Brooke.)

Brooke: Just like last time, Mathew and Sam are going head to head in the tank when we return to "Dog Eat Dog".

(Audience applauds as the show goes to commercial one last time.)

(There you go. I was waiting for more reviews and I haven't got some more. Come on people. Please review with spunk and enthusiasm! Good bye for now and leave your guesses on who you think is going to be top dog.)
