Surprises in Store!

Waking up the next morning, Theresa began to eat her breakfast when she noticed the TV screen light up. "Expect the unexpected….I wonder what that means?" She said to no one in particular. After eating her cereal, Theresa went to sit down in the diary room.

(Today, there was a message on TV to expect the unexpected. Cookie told us that we'd have a few surprises on the show, I wonder what they could be, and when we'll get them. So far some of the girls seem very nice, with the exception of Gwen. She's very judgmental and snobbish. Makes me wonder how she managed to be on the show. I guess the saying, "variety is the spice of life," would fit into this show.)

After all the women are up and dressed, Gwen and Sarah are outside sunbathing, while Whitney and Theresa are inside.

"What do you think that message means?" Whitney asks as she points to the TV.

"I don't know. But, this IS Big Brother, one can only imagine what they have in store for us."

"You're telling me."

(Meanwhile in the studio…)

Cookie has come into work, ready to reveal to the women the big surprise. Staring at the four men, Cookie smiles. "Gentlemen, I am glad to see you are here. Congrats on making it this far to the Big Brother house. This summer will be filled with surprises and action. I wish you all the luck in getting to the grand prize."

" I want you all to gather your bags, and head to the front door, but do not open it until I tell you to, and please do not speak to each other."

The men gather their things and walk single file toward the front door. This should be interesting. Ethan thought to himself.

What have I gotten myself into? The money, Fox, think of the money. Fox said to himself.

Standing outside the house with their bags, the men looked at each other and size each other up.

These chumps have nothing on me. I'm going to win this game! Chad thinks to himself.

They didn't call me the big man on campus for nothing! I'm going to win Big Brother! Mike thinks to himself.

(Back inside the house)

"Ladies, if you would all please go to the living room." The booming voice said over the speakers.

Gathering their bathing suit towels, the women went back inside and sat in the living room. Suddenly, the TV screen lights up with Cookie looking in.

"Ladies, hello again." The women all say hello. "As we told you, the theme of this year's Big Brother is to expect the unexpected. Today, the unexpected occurs…" With that said, a door suddenly creaks open, and the women watch anxiously.

(Outside)

"Men, you are now allowed to go into the Big Brother house. Good luck on your adventure." With that, the men see the front door open, and begin to walk inside….

(Inside)

"I wonder who is coming in?" Whitney says out loud.

Suddenly, footsteps are heard around the corner, and then the women gasp as they come face to face with……..

"Our ex-boyfriends!" Sarah yells as she watches her ex, Mike, stand in shock in the kitchen.

Looking around, every woman sees her ex: Fox and Theresa, Ethan and Gwen, Mike and Sarah, and Whitney and Chad. "Oh my God!" Theresa yells, hiding her face in her hands.

"Theresa!" Fox yells back. God, what the hell is going on here? He thinks to himself.

"Gwen, what the hell are you doing here!" Ethan yells.

"What am I doing here? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE! We're through!"

"No kidding we're through! God, I can't believe this! Now, I have to be with my ex girlfriend the entire summer!"

"Gee, don't sound too thrilled, Ethan."

"Shut up, Gwen."

Soon, arguments start between all the former couples. Having heard enough, Theresa suddenly stands up on the table and yells "SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!"

Hearing the room come to a silence, Theresa takes a breath. "Okay, look, Big Brother pulled this stunt on all of us. We're just going to have to get over it, and figure out what to do."

"Of course you would say that, Theresa, you're the queen of trying to fix things, and instead they get messed up." Fox says.

"Don't go there Nicholas Foxworth. You may be a Crane, but that doesn't mean you have to start bossing me around again!"

Suddenly, the arguments start again between the four couples. Sarah gets up and goes to the Diary room quickly.

(I can't believe Mike is here. We haven't seen each other since our senior year at Cal U. How can I spend the rest of my summer here with him? It's impossible. God, what am I going to do?)

Later on, the men take turns going into the Diary Room.

(I can't believe of all people here, it's Gwen. How could I see her again? She is nothing but a spoiled, selfish brat. Why I stated with her so long I'll never know. God, this is going to be a long summer).

After Ethan leaves, Fox quickly goes into the Diary Room. (Theresa and I had some great times, but then, things fizzled fast. I can't believe that Big Brother did this to me. All I wanted from this show was the fame of being the winner, and now, I have to live with my ex in the same house for 3 months!)

(In the living room)

Feeling the tears about to burst through her eyes, Theresa runs into her room, and cries.

"This can't be happening. I can't be in the same house with Fox. God, what is going on!"

Hearing a knock on the door, Theresa looks up. "Yes?"

Ethan opens the door, and walks in. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Yeah, tell me this is all a dream."

"I wish it was. I'm Ethan."

"Theresa."

They shake hands. "Nice to meet you." They say at the same time, causing both of them to laugh.

Coming Up

Ethan and Theresa talk…with Gwen looking on!

Will the exes want each other back?
