Chapter 3

It's time again for Survivor: Extreme, the show that tests contestants' physical ability to endure adverse conditions as well as their emotional ability to compromise with their fellow cast mates. So far one week has passed and Regal and Kratos have been voted off. Who will be the last remaining after the next three weeks?

Raine: Lloyd, have you been doing all of your homework?

Lloyd: Professor. You mean that I still have to study even on the show.

Raine: Yes, it's the only way you will get smarter.

Zelos: And we all know you need that.

Lloyd: Hey! What's that supposed to mean?!

Zelos: Nothing. But maybe if you were brighter, you could attract some girls.

Lloyd: Grrr. You better not have messed any more with Colette.

Zelos: Nah. She's too clumsy for my type. You can have her. I've got my lovely Sheena.

Sheena: (fakes a smile)

Zelos: (pulls her in close) I've got the cutest one of all.

Sheena: (pushes him away) Speaking of Colette, I'm gonna go see where she went.

Lloyd: It doesn't look as if she likes you.

Zelos: Of course she does! Women from Mizuho are supposed to be secretive, that's all. She thinks she has to hide her true emotions.

Raine: …Right.

Sheena: (Bleep) that Zelos! He's so naïve. Thinking that I actually like him. What kind of person does he think I am?! I just want to trick the son of a (bleep) into thinking I love him, so that he will vote off the other girls. (Bleep)-ing moron!

Colette: Hello, Genis. Do you need help?

Genis: Nope, I'm just making soup. It's not that hard.

Colette: Well are you sure? I mean, I don't mind.

Genis: Yes, I'm sure, Colette. Why don't you go outside and help Lloyd study or something?

Colette: (Trips and knocks over the pot of soup)

Genis: Ahh! Colette!!!

Colette: I'm sorry!

Genis: Ouch…ouch!

Colette: Does it burn?

Genis: Yes, it burns!! Spread!!

Genis summoned water to nullify the burning caused by Colette's splashing boiling soup on him.

Colette: …Sorry.

Genis: GO!!

Everyone sees the bursts of water and rushes in to the cooking tent.

Zelos: What was that?!

Genis: It was a water spell.

Raine: I see. Interesting. This could be a key element to surviving in the desert. Great job, Genis.

Zelos: Yes, way to go Genis! You're awesome!

Sheena: Ahem! I can do that just as well with Undine.

Zelos: Really?

Sheena: Yes!! Undine, do your thing!



Zelos: …



Sheena: (Bleep) Undine!! Get out here right now!!!

Presea: I don't blame Undine for avoiding her.

Sheena: Did you forget that we made a pact?!

Zelos: Well it seems we will just have to depend upon Genis for water.

Lloyd: Back off, Zelos! He's my best friend!

Zelos: So what? We're in a desert here in case you forgot.

Lloyd: …I didn't forget. Really, I didn't! And even if I did, you can find your own source of water!

Genis: Actually Lloyd, I don't mind sharing. As long as everyone promises not to vote me off.

Sheena: You can make us do that! That's black mail! You can't just let us die.

Genis: Nah, I wouldn't let you die. One you say that you quit the show, I'll give you all the water you want.

Sheena: Mother (bleep)

Raine: I guess we don't have a choice. Genis, you have immunity for the next vote off. Now please, let us have some water.

Genis: Sure thing!

Lloyd: Some food would be nice too.

Genis: Well we would have some if Colette didn't knock over the pot.

Colette: Sorry.

Sheena: Stupid Colette! I hope you die!!

Presea: A large vehicle is approaching.

Sheena: It's that (bleep) Hummer again.

Show Host: Good afternoon. It is time for the next elimination. I will give you all time to make your decision. I will wait for you outside the confession tent.

--- --- ---

Show Host: Is everyone ready.

Everyone: (nods)

Show Host: Alright then. Lloyd, we will begin with you.

Lloyd: Nooo! I don't want to go home!!!

Everyone: …

Lloyd: What did I do?!

Show Host: I meant, why don't you start the voting? Not that you have to leave.

Sheena: Idiot.

Lloyd: Well in that case, Zelos!

Sheena: Like that was a surprise.

Show Host: I'm sorry. There is a rule against voting for the same person three times in a row. I ask that you choose someone else.

Lloyd: I can vote for two people?

Show Host: …no, I mean change your vote.

Lloyd: The Professor. I'm tired of studying.

Colette: The Professor. She drank all the water in the oasis.

Raine: The recommended daily intake of water is six cups. I am only trying to stay healthy.

Preasea: That statistic is correct. However, we are thirsty too. I must vote for you as well.

Zelos: Aww. Don't everyone gang up on my beloved. Lloyd, I vote for you.

Lloyd: Hey, how come he gets to vote for me but I can't vote for him?!

Show Host: Because you have voted for him the past two times. He has only voted for you once.

Lloyd: Hmph, I don't get it.

Raine: Well, at this point the only way I will stay on the show is if I, as well as the remaining contestants, vote for Lloyd. Sorry, Lloyd.

Sheena: Raine.

Genis: I don't want my best friend or my sister to have to leave. So my vote goes to Sheena.

Sheena: (Bleep) you!!

Show Host: Ok, with four votes, you are the next to go home, Raine.

Raine: I understand. It was a fulfilling experience. Lloyd, don't forget to continue studying.

Sheena: Haha, good. Now only Colette and Presea are standing in my way. Once they are gone, I will be the only girl and Zelos will only vote for guys. If I vote for whoever he does, I'll be sure to win this.

Genis: Sheena, did you just say something?

Sheena: No, you little (bleep)

Show Host: Congratulations, everyone else. You all are still eligible for the prize of one million Gald. I will see you next time.

The host and Raine drive off in the Hummer, leaving Lloyd, Colette, Genis, Zelos, Sheena, and Presea alone again in the desert. Night begins to fall and Genis prepares the final meal of the day, without Colette's "help". By now there are four tents: the cooking tent, the confessional tent, the male tent, and the female tent. Everyone goes to his/her respective tent and falls asleep.
