Chapter three! Yes, it has been forever and for that I apologize. I had this whole scene typed up for the events that happened backstage, but I changed my minds on a few things. They will make reference to everything that happened in future chapters. I just have to find the thing on my computer. Who knew that switching to Linksys wireless you would need to change from ME to XP, having all files that are important deleted in the process. Shrugs shoulders For some reason I think that my computer hates me.

This chapter may not be as comical and there may be some areas that are a little hard to follow, but please bear with me. I've been ill for quite a while and missed a lot of school because of this. I usually type the fic during study hall to copy and e-mail it home to myself, much against the teachers' wishes shhhhh, as well.

Thank you so much for the reviews up till this point! They help me to know that there are people out there that find this entertaining. I would thank each and every one of you personally if I could.

This scene has the next game that they play. There were quite a few good suggestions and comments about where I should take the fic next and trust me, I am taking a lot of it into consideration winks I like the one about Yuki and Haru…

Now before I bore everyone to death with things that I am saying, I show you the fic…after the most important sentences in this whole thing…

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket or its Characters. They are the creations of the wonderfully talented Natsuki Takaya. I can prove this, if I owned them, there would be two certain characters that end up together…the two that I obsess over…

Thank you! Now onto CHAPTER 3!

After a long and…interesting break for the family members, the Sohmas, and the cameraman along with his black eye, return to the stage. Shigure returns to his seat at his desk, a sweatdrop evident on the back of his head.

"Well then…we're back. I'm sure that you missed all of us during the commercial break. Trust me when I say that you did not want to see what happened back there. We had a little lover's spat between our love triangle of Yuki, Kyo, and Haru." Shigure speaks as though there was no problem as sounds of ooo's and ahhh's are heard from the audience.

Yuki walks upon the stage with Haru in toll, face reddening. "Shigure…that is not what happened…" The viewers cannot tell if the flushing facial features are present from anger at Shigure's words, or embarrassment. Whichever it is, the boy is having a difficult time fighting it; taking glances every so often at the younger boy's hand on his arm.

Kyo storms forward, anger marks appearing here and there. "Hell Shigure! How and why would I ever have a fight over that idiot! He's a damn rat and that's all he's gonna be. Soon he won't even have that pretty boy face any longer." He smirks at the end of his sentence.

"Ooo, so you think that Baby Brother's face is charming I see Kyonkichi!" Ayame approaches the stage, hair elegantly swaying as his body moves forward in perfect posture. He seems to have an aura of beauty, one that receives several fan girlish squeals from the audience. He winks in response, receiving more shouts, and focuses his attention on Kyo. "Isn't Baby Brother a splitting image of myself? Surely you can see that he is following in my footsteps. Not only does he have fan girls, but two fan boys as well!" He stands near Kyo and tilts his head in order to have the most radiant appearance that he could manage in the stage lights.

Kyo feels his blood boiling beneath him. "There is no way that I…that's…that's disgusting Ayame! There is no way…not now, not ever that I would care for him! I'm not you!"

Yuki removes Haru's hand from his sleeve and looks at his rival and older Brother. Two of the last people that I want to be around are having an argument over me…at least this time it's an improvement from backstage… "Brother, it would be wise to end this now. There are a few things that you may not remember…" Because you're too busy speaking highly of yourself and things we really don't care about… "You may not want to speak about this here…" We are on television and before an audience…I can't very well stop any of this and only wish that it all comes to an end…there is always the next commercial break to handle things…

Haru watches the two bicker and Yuki try to intervene, but doesn't seem affected by it all. His eyes lock upon the gray-haired boy as he gives a small smile. The thought of having to fight over the boy seems interesting, but if Kyo was his rival…it seemed somewhat sickening. After becoming black backstage, the cow felt content yet tired as he sat in his spot. "Yuki…Shigure…Kyo…we should just continue this now. The sooner we finish the sooner we can leave…" And I can be with Yuki…

Ayame looks at Haru. "But I belong here on stage. The lights, the praise, everything suits me! I should have done this long ago! You should have seen me on the stage at high school. Even there it was extravagant and it was less than half this size! Besides…" He gives a wink and a smile towards the cat. "The thought that Kyonkichi thinks Yuki is attractive really makes it all more worthwhile as well! Baby Brother has the same look as I do, although not quite matching up to his full potential yet at this young age. Since he believes that of my brother, think about how he thinks of my looks!"

"Yeah…you have quite a girly looking family…" Kyo states blandly, a hint of disgust in his voice, but a smirk shows on his face.

Yuki returns to his seat near Haru and crosses his knees. "That really tells us something. You're part of this family as well even though I hate to admit that I am related to a thing like you. That either means that you also look girly as well…or…" He gives a small smirk. "You ended in the other end of the gene pool and are disgusting to even look upon."

Kyo's muscles tighten. "Why you… you damn rat…come here right now. Let's finish what we were interrupted from backstage!"

Yuki rolls his eyes. "I should have guessed that a certain idiot would still resort to violence."

Kyo feels his anger still growing. "Shut up rat-boy or else I'll wipe that look right off your face!"

Yuki looks towards the audience as though he is uninterested in what a certain redhead has to say. "Idiot…"

Kyo's eyes change color. "Stop calling me an idiot! And look at me damn it!"

Shigure decides that the fighting has gone on long enough. He was amused by it for a while considering that on the Whose Line Stage, none of his possessions, say a house, would be destroyed in the process. "Now that we're all fired up to go, let's start the next game! The name escapes me at the moment…" A whisper comes from off stage. "The…Dating Show Game?" He shrugs his shoulders and his cheerful voice returns. "Yes, the Dating Show Game! During this game all four of my cousins will play. We begin by…"

"Shigure…don't cut me off!" Kyo shouts loudly, receiving laughter from the audience, only making his blood further boil.

Yuki places a hand against his mouth as if he is in thought. "But Shigure…we're all guys here…how could we possibly have a dating show…what are you planning?"

Shigure grins. "I was only planning for one of the most feminine eighty-percent male contestants to sit on a stool and ask the others things that have to do in order to get to know them."

Yuki's face falters, knowing exactly who Shigure is speaking about, a doom glare within his eyes. I swear Shigure…if we weren't on public television… He looks at Haru and notices a sly grin on his face, giving the older boy an uncomfortable feeling. It was one of those looks that the cow used when black was trying to escape from certain thoughts within the mind. Whenever the other side did manage to escape, Yuki was always the one that witnessed the effects and actions first hand-being a first love does have some disadvantages as well, or so the gray-haired boy made himself believe.

Kyo smirks. "Heh, then I guess you'd be talking about Yuki. Too bad that this time you can't get him to wear another dress. It really suited him at the culture festival."

Yuki's head whipped towards Kyo as his glare intensified. "I'll say it again…at least mine is worth looking at you stupid cat. You must be expressing anger because of your vulgarity."

Kyo begins to dart towards Yuki when Haru grabs him by the shoulder. "Kyo…" His voice has a hint of anger behind it, black still not here, but well on his way if there are any more mishaps.

"Shit…" Kyo says quietly before turning to the angered cow. "What the hell is your problem? You really are a moron, you know that?"

Shigure twirls the mike in his hand. "You do realize Kyo, that our wonderful little housewife may be watching this show as she cleans the house. She knows that we are all on it and that you will be on stage. I am sure that she would enjoy very much to see you act this way, in front of thousands of viewers, including herself. She may never be able to show her face again…" He begins to sprout comical tears, trying to get his acting quite right. Manipulation always is a game to him. "She'll be heart broken to see…"

Before Shigure can finish his sentence, Kyo is seated back upon his stool, arms crossed and a pout upon his face. The other three players look at him, now having a great suspicion that…

"Ooooo, so Kyonkichi loves the princess that lives in the house of filthy men! The flower in the spring, the sunset that lights up the sky." Ayame chirps happily. "Although…it is Kyonkichi…"

"SHUT-UP!" Kyo shouts before silencing himself, face reddened. "Start the damn game so we can end this!"

Shigure nods, turns to the audience while giving them a wink, turns back towards the stage and smiles. "Then we shall begin THE DATING SHOW GAME! Yuki you will be the only normal person there. You are the bachelor and the other three; they are the contestants on the show. They all sit next to each other and prepare themselves to answer the questions. Yuki, you will be the one asking the questions. Haru, Ayame, and Kyo, you will all receive some sort of characteristic to act out. You should be happy that I came up with them all by myself. I had other better ones, but Ha-san said something about them not exactly being appropriate for a family show. We can always act them out back stage though…"

Ayame raises a finger and places it against his chin thoughtfully. "Yes, I think that I would very much enjoy to act those out with you Shigure. If it's what I think it is, then you will not be let down…"

Shigure grins and pulls out the banned characteristics and waves them in his hands. "They're right here Aaya Next commercial break, backstage…we can have some fun with this…"

Yuki feels his annoyance rapidly growing. "Shigure…tell the rest of us what we have to do so we can finish this game…" The longer that I think about playing the role of a girl, the worse I begin to feel…this reminds me of that school play in a way…

Shigure beckons for Haru, Ayame, and Kyo to approach him. He places the inappropriate envelopes on the desk and picks up three new ones. "You will all have a certain characteristic that you need to act out on stage. You will answer all of Yuki's questions based on your characteristic. You know…wait…never mind. I have a new plan! Aaya, you will be the one to play out the role of the bachelor. Yuki, you take Aaya's role." He quickly discards the envelope meant for Ayame and jots down something else on another, now meant for Haru. He discards a second envelope, Ayame's first one, and scribbles a new characteristic for that as well.

Haru blinks as he extends a hand towards one of the envelopes. "Is that…a legal move?" He opens his envelope and peers inside it, a smirk spreading across his face. "Never mind…I think that I just discovered why it had to be this way. I have no complaints…"

Yuki gives a small sigh of relief that he no longer needs to play a feminine role, but the tone of Haru's voice can't seem to shake off the nervousness. He leaves his stool and joins the others at the desk, awaiting his envelope to be handed to him. Once he has his envelope, he takes a seat in his stool and waits for the others to join him before looking at his personality.

Kyo rips the envelope from Shigure's hand, opens it to see what he has to be, and tosses it to the ground. "There is no way…NO WAY IN HELL SHIGURE!"

Shigure smiles. "Remember…our dear little princess…all alone at home with a television, watching us and our actions. Oh, poor poor Tohru…"

Kyo's blood once again boils, but he takes his place in his seat next to Yuki, glaring at every member in his family, allowing it to linger longer on Shigure, for his manipulation was what made him take place on the show in the first place. Haru walks back to his seat and sits on Yuki's other side in the third contestant place. His eyes lock onto the boy as another smile shows on his face. Yuki notices this and returns an uneasy smile in return. Ayame sits on the furthest seat from his family members, and begins to braid his hair. His reason for it was, 'I have to play the part.'

Once everyone is situated, Shigure looks at the audience, then to his notes on his desk. "Ok, Ayame, Yuki, Kyo, Haru, take it away."

Ayame finishes braiding his hair and looks to Kyo, contestant number one. "Very well then. Contestant number one, what is your idea of an ideal date?"

The orange-headed boy's body language speaks all-anger, annoyance, the need to hurt someone very very badly. "My ideal date…we would…all go to a happy place…and sing…everyone…loves each other…we are all happy…there are a lot of singing children…who are very happy…happy…happiness…and…love…" The words struggle to get out and they are very quiet in tone. Once the answer is finished, Kyo has a disgusted look upon his face.

"Oooo, so you're all for happy times I see! Maybe you can join 'Gure and I sometime after dark. There is much…" Ayame began before he was interrupted by an angry Kyo shouting, "Not that kind of happy and love!" He receives confused glances from the audience and allows his body to slouch more. He clears his throat, speaking more gently. "Not that kind of happy and love…"

"Thank you contestant number one, you sound darling. Onto contestant number two, none other than my baby brother himself! What is your idea of an ideal date?"

Yuki felt a chill of disturbance overtake his body. It never crossed my mind that I would have to tell my older brother what I would want to do on a date with him…it's just sickening… He closes his eyes and gives a yawn. "Hmmm…what?" He opens them once more. "Oh, oh, a first date. I would…like to have one like I did back in the day before they had shows such as this. I would…have a girlfriend…and take her out to a movie. Then in the middle of it, an alarm would sound and I would spring into action, possibly saving her life from whatever evil may occur…" So stupid…

"I see. So you are the adventurous type, ne?" Ayame smirked. "You know, to some people that could be rather attractive."

Yuki again feels disgusted, along with Haru and Kyo this time. He closes his eyes and tilts his head backwards.

"Onto contestant number three! Same question that I asked numbers one and two. What is your thought?"

"I need to get out of here! It's important!" Haru says with a dull voice. "You can't keep me here forever. You may think that you put me in here for my own good, but that is far from reality. You took away my sanity! I won't ever be able to plan my date unless I make it out of here alive…" He pretends to take something out of his pocket. "It's a holiday popper. Beware…it may go off at any time…" His gaze turns to Yuki and he smiles.

Ayame gives Haru a funny look, quite unsure as to how to respond to Haru's false enthusiasm. He really is not the best actor… "Contestant number one, back to you. Hmmmm…what type of music would you like to have played on our date when we go for a dance? What is your preference?"

Kyo thinks for a moment before trying to sound happy, failing miserably. "The ABC's…all of those songs…Little Bunny Fufu…you know what I like…a choir of children would be nice too…children that we could sing…and be…happy with…" Shigure is going to be in for a nice surprise when we get back to his house… "We can also sing…I…love…you…" How the hell did I get into this anyway!

"So you love me? You really do? That's romantic! Or at least as romantic as Kyonkichi can get…" Ayame says in a loud voice. "Contestant number two, where would you want to go on our honeymoon and how would you want to get there?"

Yuki has another chill run down the back of his spine as he tries to remove the mental image from his mind of doing anything with his older brother, especially a date. He continues to pretend to sleep and ignore the question. Haru sees this and tugs on his sleeve, making Yuki's eyes open slowly. "Wait…what did you ask…"

"Something about a honeymoon and transportation dear Baby Brother!"

"A honeymoon…I could have us fly there, it would be quicker than a speeding train. For a place…someplace tranquil and away from all the dangers of this place…away from the stupid cat…away from it all… I know, we can go to-" Before Yuki finishes his sentence, he pretends to slumber again, head falling forward this time.

"It seems as if Baby Brother is sleepy. I hope he's ok." Ayame says before turning his attention to the black and white haired boy who was looking intently at Yuki. "Contestant number three," Haru's head slowly moves as he looks at Ayame, but his gaze soon returns to Yuki, "What is your motive in life? What do you want to get out of it?"

Haru looks at Yuki and smirks, giving enough information to the audience. "I need to get out of here first…and then…" He faces the audience and places his hands out in front of him, pretending to hold onto bars. He yanks the air roughly before placing a hand in his pocket. "I should have known that these were in here…" The boy removes his hand from the clothing and puts it out before him, making a clicking noise. His hands push the air and he stands on his feet, turning to Yuki, still smirking. "It has been too long…but today…I will continue what I began long ago. And those coppers can't stop me! I will use whatever tactic I can to get what I want! Cherry bombs, fun noodles, anything!" He steps closer to Yuki, making the older boy flinch a little although he can't see what is happening.

"My my, you really are a crazy one aren't you…although it seems as if contestant number two is bored by your act. He sleeps onward." Ayame looks at Shigure with uncertainty, to receive a shoulder shrug from the other man, followed by laughter.

"I have one more question for you contestant number one. This will be the last one!" Ayame smiles cheerfully. "Now, what do you think of me?"

"You can't ask that question! That's not what they do one this show!" Kyo shouts. "I mean…I…grrrr…"

Yuki speaks quietly, almost in a way that it appears as if he is sleep-talking. "So you do watch this show…stupid cat…"

"Shut the hell up you damn ra-!" Kyo is cut off by a buzzer and eyes immediately cut into Shigure.

"Now now Kyo, I am sure that your card does not have that sort of personality. I would imagine how frightened some people would be of you if your characteristic really did act this way." Shigure holds his hand above the buzzer. "And remember…there is a poor girl watching us. Not only that, but I am sure that another girl would want to come to your rescue if she sees you in distress." Although she may cause more.

Kyo's glare remains on his face as he turns to Ayame. "What do I think…of you?" You're a sick bastard related to that damn rat, that's what I think of you… "You…should be…my friend…we are…one big…happy family…and…all…love…each…other…" Another look of disgust can be seen on the cat's face mixed with his anger.

Ayame is seen fixing his braid and looks up as soon as he finishes. "Hmmm? Did you say something Kyonkichi?" Kyo turns his back to Ayame and glares at the ground. Ayame knows that he could continue to press to find out what Kyo had said, although he heard him the first time, but decides it best to continue with the game. "Contestant number two, what is your favorite meal?"

Yuki gives a small sigh. "I would say…prunes and raisins…maybe a hero sandwich…there are so many things that I can say considering that I fly around the world quite often. I have very good air mileage. Although, back in the day I can remember my childhood. I would enjoy so many different varieties of food that the young enjoy…" He opens his eyes and gives a small fake yawn, thinking that he has finally gotten a grasp on this acting now that he has all the thoughts of doing anything with his brother out of his mind.

"You aren't very exquisite or with the current times dear brother. Hero sandwiches? You will never find any romantic interest with something as bland and…unappealing as that!" Haru shoots a dirty look at Ayame at the mention of not having a romantic interest. Ayame sees this, but doesn't take it as a cue to stop. "Honestly, first your wardrobe and now this. You really have bland taste. No wonder why you haven't been brought upon the world of men's romance. It really is a shame." He gives a dramatic sigh. "But there is still hope for you yet! A few visits to my shop and a few lesions from your older brother and you can be fine!" Each time another insult is thrown at Yuki, Haru can feel his body give a slight twitch.

"I do not think that there is any problem with his wardrobe…" Haru speaks up, still standing next to Yuki. "If he wears something bland, or if he wears one of your fantasies, it doesn't matter…it's how he is…" He can feel a change in his body.

"Nonsense, it means a lot! How do you think that Miss Tohru or even classmates think about his choice in clothing or foods? He said that his ideal meal was a hero sandwich, a sandwich! That's just...eck…" Haru places his pinky in his ear and begins to turn it with every word that Ayame begins to say. Despite this, Ayame continues. "Honestly, it is a wonder how you didn't pick up any of the comeliness through our hereditary genes, although I have to admit that you are looking more and more like me day by day. You need to let loose and allow your beauty to flow freely in the way that mine does."

Yuki feels himself becoming more annoyed by the moment. He is ready to shout out something in his defense when he feels Haru's hand on his shoulder. The older boy looks at the younger and feels the tension in the grip. It isn't enough to harm him, but it is enough to tell that someone had moved to the dark side. "Haru…"

Haru places a finger gently against Yuki's lips as his growing glare remains on Ayame, seeing if he would continue with the insults. Much to black Haru's hope, he did. "It is due time for another visit anyway dear brother. The last time that you came to my shop, Miss Tohru was with you. There was no time to work on your wardrobe."

Yuki pulls Haru's finger away from his mouth angrily at the words that Ayame is saying. "Brother…can't this wait until another time…" Preferably some place where I can give him my response without the gaze of others seeing my martial arts skills… "Haru…it's fine…remember where we are…"

Haru smirks. "I know where we are." He takes a step away from Yuki and begins to approach Ayame. "I also know exactly what I'm going to do to that bastard." He gives his neck a small crack. "Tell me, do you enjoy speaking this way about him?" He backs up behind Yuki and places his hands on the older boy's shoulders. "You know how I feel when he's upset…he's not the only one that is angry or has the right to be."

Yuki puts his hands on top of Haru's an annoyed expression overtaking his face. "Haru, I'm fine. I can handle this." Brother, you really aren't stupid enough to continue this with black, are you? Ayame says another comment. Surprisingly he is…

Haru tightens his grip in Yuki's shoulders in a way to show possessiveness. "Today is the day that I can finally make him mine…you will not do this to him! He was pissed off enough backstage from the bickering; now how do you think he feels?"

"Haru…" Yuki begins to say, an anger mark appearing along with the sound of anger in his voice.

Haru once again places a finger against Yuki's lips. "Shh, it's alright. Don't be angry by his words."

"That's not why I am angry…" Yuki responds as he removes one hand from his shoulder, only to have the other get a better grip. "Don't do this now…" I really don't want to do what I know I have to do in order to bring white back on stage…everyone would see him become injured and have me to blame…

Haru smirked. "What? You mean that you don't want a repeat of what happened back stage? I know that you liked it. Even when we came back on stage your face showed it. You never removed my hand from your sleeve even once. Why now?"

Kyo, seeing Yuki's now reddening face, feels quickly angered and disgusted. "Damn you Haru…" He gives him a hit in the head, powerful enough to send the cow backwards a few steps.

Once recovered, Haru opens his eyes and blinks. "I'm tired again…" He looks at Yuki. "Yuki…do you feel feverish? Your face is red…are you alright?" He moves closer again and gives a gentle tug on the other boy's sleeve. Kyo mumbles incoherent words under his breath as he curses at the other two boys.

Shigure clears his throat and sounds the buzzer in order to get the audience's, and contestants' attention back to him. Yuki mentally thanks the older cousin for helping in the embarrassing moment. "Now that we have gone through the questions…Haru does not need to answer his last one…Aaya, what do you think all of the characteristics are?

Kyo's mouth drops as Ayame and Shigure act as if nothing had happened on stage. The audience seems unfazed as well. He closes his mouth and gives a glare at Ayame, body language shooting off anger as he slouches forward and lowers his head with his arms crossed. Damnit…he has to say what I was…

Ayame places a hand to his chin thoughtfully. "You sounded like a young romantic who didn't know much about dates and was just getting started. I would say…you sound like yourself without all of the anger!"

Kyo stands up quickly and kicks his stool at Ayame. "Hell no! I'm Barney, that purple and green thing! Barney! B-A-R-N-E-Y!"

Yuki turns to Kyo, now recovering from his blushing attack and feeling as if he had to add something to what Kyo is saying. "That must mean that you watch the show often enough to have acted out the part so nicely. I'm impressed that you were so committed." He smirks.

"Shut-up!" Kyo shouts. "Just because I know what it is, doesn't mean that I watched it a lot. I saw it once because nothing else was on!"

"I think that I have heard that comment somewhere before about another show…" Yuki looks away from Kyo and towards Ayame.

Kyo opens his mouth to say something else in his defense, but closes it once more, a grin creeping across his face at how he would get the rat back later.

Ayame meets Yuki's gaze. "And contestant number two…you are…" He sounds somewhat bored of the idea already.

Yuki gives a small sigh. "Hero sandwiches…prunes…back in the day…good air mileage…does any of it make you think of anything?"

Ayame shakes his head. "Nothing but…bland…are you trying to be an inexperienced young lover or something Baby Brother?"

Shigure shakes his head. "No, Yuki was supposed to be a superhero in retirement who has difficulty staying awake. That would be the reason why he talked about his younger days, prunes, and hero sandwiches I think. He also began to fall asleep, or pretended to anyway. I don't understand the whole air part though."

"Superheroes fly, don't they? That's why I flew all over the place…" Yuki responds with little feeling in his voice, feeling idiotic about everything that just happened.

"Right! That's right! Baby Brother, you really know how to think things thoroughly. Personally, I think that it is an admirable quality." Ayame smiles. "Just as you enjoy my charm and charisma." He turns to Haru. "And you…you were crazy…and you even changed personalities, although that much could not be helped…what were you doing?"

"Haru was a crazed lunatic who is escaping prison in order to get to his loved one, Yuki. That means that going black was not entirely horrible this time. No one became hurt in the process and it still fit the characteristic." Shigure says almost in a thoughtful manner. "But…let's not do that again Aaya. You could have been badly injured and for that I would not be able to forgive myself."

"Shigure, I know that you would never mean to harm me. You can always make things better…back stage…" Ayame says with a wink.

Haru scoots his chair closer to Yuki and gently takes his sleeve in a hand. "Yuki…you're ok…right?" Haru knows how worked up Yuki can become due to the idiocy of his family members.

Yuki still has trouble getting over the fact that Haru had a characteristic to act out that had to deal with himself. First the doctor…and now a lunatic out to get his love…me…what is Shigure planning? Something doesn't seem right…although… He looks at Haru, a small tint in his face, but the stage lights block it out. Backstage and onstage…it really isn't bothering me as much as I thought it would… "No Haru…I'm fine…" In response to Yuki's answer, Haru gives a smile, one of the ones that he can most often be seen doing near the boy with closed eyes.

The audience begins to chatter as the family breaks off into groups. Haru and Yuki begin to talk more while Ayame and Shigure speak more about what they should do backstage. Kyo remains on his stool pouting and making disgusted faces at Shigure and Ayame's conversation. Shigure looks up from his conversation to say something brief, "Since the points don't matter, I say two hundred to all but Aaya. He has two hundred two points! Don't worry, there's more to come so stick around! We will not be going backstage this time, but would like to get to better know our audience. Those viewers at home, you're out of luck! We'll be back in a bit!"

The camera zooms out, getting each group on camera one last time before cutting out and moving into a commercial.

End of Chapter 3

That one was definitely the longest so far. I kept rereading it to try to make it sound right. Every time that I ran into something I didn't like, I extended it. Eleven pages later and there you have it, a third chapter of the dating show game! My plans for the next chapter are to have some familiar faces in the audience and switch over to commercials with the Sohmas' reactions to them. Examples of these would be A Household Maid Service, a Dairy Farm, Exterminator, CatNip place, something for a beauty show, just a lot of things that the characters can see and respond to whether that response be good or bad, well that is for the character to decide.

Thank you for sticking with me until this point and thanks again for reviews! I really appreciate it!

Please R and R.
