Looking out the plane window at the clear blue ocean below, Trolley couldn't wait for the game to start. Trolley and Kid Blink were the first to arrive at the beautiful Bahamas, the place they were going to call home, for now. Stepping off the plane hand in hand they couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the beauty this place held, it was as if the money didn't count anymore and the only reason for trying to stay was to remain in this tropical paradise. This was the first time either of them had been in the Bahamas, or any place this nice for that matter. There was just something about the warm sunshine, the white soft sand; the clear blue water and the beautiful hotel that made you not want to leave. For many, that would be the hard part.

Trolley and Kid Blink headed towards the hotel that they would be staying at. Everyone had their own master suite at the Atlantis, Paradise Island hotel. For those that don't know, this hotel is known all around the world for its beauty, wonder, and brilliance. Many celebrities have been known to resort there to spend a vacation.

"Wow! Can you actually believe we are staying here?" Trolley said to Kid as they walked into there home away from home.

"I know. I couldn't believe it at first. This is amazing and incredible, but hun remember that we might not be staying here long so don't get to comfortable."

"And how can you be so sure of that?"

"Because I don't want to get myself all worked up over something that might be taken away from me later, you know what I'm saying? Beside, I would rather focus on spending my time her with you then worrying about winning." He said smiling at Trolley. "Now go get ready. We have to be at the dinner meeting in an hour."

Couples upon couples were being flown in every 15 minutes or so now, and each one of them more astounded at the sight that they were seeing then the next. Everyone had the same reaction as Trolley and Kid Blink. They couldn't wait to start there adventure.

Dinner was in about an hour. This was everyone's chance to get to know each other a little better before going into the actual meeting that was going to be held after dinner. Dinner was being held at the Fathoms, which was a superb seafood restaurant with stunning panoramic views of the underwater ruins at the hotel.

Finally dinner time had arrived and the couples were heading down to the dining hall. Zippy and Skittery were the first to arrive there. They sat down at a large round table. They waited patiently for the other couples to arrive.

"Gosh you look beautiful tonight." Skittery said kissing Zippy on the cheek.

"You don't look that bad yourself." Zippy said smiling. "Gosh this is a beautiful place! I can't believe we actually get to stay here."

"Yeah I know, but not only will we get to stay in such an astounding hotel, but we will also walk away with $150,000."

"Now Skittery, don't get too wrapped up in this. I know how you get with things." Zippy noticed a beautiful girl walking down the steps and heading towards them.

"Hi. My name is Trolley and this is my fiancé Kid Blink." Trolley said approaching Zippy and Skittery.

"Very nice to meet you. My name is Zippy and this is Skittery." She said shaking Trolley's hand.

"Don't get to comfortable here guys because you'll be leaving soon."

"Skittery." Zippy said hitting Skittery's chest.

"I wouldn't be so sure of that Mr. I'm wearing a pink shirt." Kid Blink said back.

"Boys, can we be grown ups here?" Zippy said.

"Is this the Fathoms?" A voice said behind them.

"Yes it is." Trolley responded back while taking her seat next to Kid Blink.

"Okay good. I can't seem to find my way around this place. It's so big! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Taps, and this is Davey."

"I'm Zippy and this is Skittery."

"And I'm Trolley and this is Kid Blink."

"Very nice to meet all of you." Taps said taking a seat.

"Would you watch where your going there Spot!" A voice yelled in the distance. "Ouch! Would you stop it!" Suddenly two couples entered.

"We aren't late are we?" A girl asked.

"Nope, just on time." Taps said.

"Good. Well my name is Dewey and this is Runner. That's his cousin Spot and his soon to be wife Kane."

"Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm thinking maybe we should wait until everyone is here to introduce ourselves, that why we don't have to say it over and over again." Zippy said.

"Good idea." Kane said taking a seat beside Davey. After a while all the couples piled in the dining room and sat down at the table. This was gonna be a tough group, some thought. Everyone was in pretty good shape and as most know, that's the most important thing. Once everyone arrived, Zippy started by saying her name, and they went around the table.

"Well hello everyone. My name is Zippy and this is Skittery."

"I'm Trolley and this is Kid Blink."

"I'm Dewey, and I'm Runner."

"My name is Kane and this is my fiancé Spot."

"Cheatah and Racetrack."

"My name is Bumlets and this is my girl Blaze."

"I'm Sneaks and this is Jake, and just so you all know, we are gonna win."

"Not until you beat us. I'm Tag Along and this is Specs."

"My name is Rouge Jazz and this is Pie Eater."

"Mush, and the girl is Clips."

"I'm Punky and this is Dutchy."

"Kyriel and I'm Jack, and NO ONE is going to beat us."

"My name is Flit and this is Itey."

"Trigger and this is Snitch."

"And lastly, I'm Taps and this is Davey." Once everyone introduced themselves, they all ordered dinner and chatted amongst each other. Finally after dinner, they had to go to the meeting room and prepare themselves for the ride of their life.

Everyone was piled into the small meeting room waiting for me to enter. Finally after a little wait, I entered.

"Good evening couples and welcome to paradise. For the next few weeks this is what you will consider home. Sure you guys may like it now but starting tomorrow, the game is on. My name is Spitball and I will be your host throughout the entire game. You each were selected because you held a unique quality that we found to be useful for our game. During each mission, you will not only be tested physically, but mentally. You will be doing things you never thought you would ever do. You'll encounter your fears and you'll find out what makes you weak and strong. I know that you guys will form bonds and friendships but remember that everyone is here for the exact same reason you are, to win. Word of warning, don't form bonds, and don't keep secrets and only trust yourself, because when money is involved, people change. I want you guys to enjoy this as much as possible and just remember that it's only a game. There will be 14 missions in total, each one harder than the next. Your performance will be based upon points. At the end of every mission you will be giving points according to your performance. For the first three missions you will be voted off if you hold the lowest points, but after that, the top three couples will be voting you off, so it's not only crucial that you try your best and win, but also to be in the top three. Certain missions will also include prizes as well as money. If you just so happen to be voted off and have won a prize or money, you will be able to keep your prize. Each mission is worth $10,000, where as the last is worth $20,000. Once again I would like to say welcome, enjoy your stay here at the Atlantis, and get yourself prepared for your first mission tomorrow. Have a goodnight." I turned and left the couples alone in the room. It would be very wise of them to get an early night's rest because they have no clue what's in store for them.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

That's the end of the "actual" first chapter. The next chapter is when things actually start to get good. The next chapter will include the first mission, and the couple that will be sent home first. I know I said this already but the way I voted you off I did it completely fair and by chance. I just pulled names out of a hat, so I did it completely fairly. Well I hope you guys enjoy the story! PLEASE review! Thanks~
