Joe led Seth back to where the others were. "Okay everyone, as you can see, Jessica screwed up her first challenge."
"Stupid blonde bitch." everyone mumbled in unison.
Joe shook his head. "Anyway, continuing on with our first challenge, I've got to have Natalie and Cristian to follow me."
Joe led the two to another dark room. In the middle was a round metal cage. There was a metal separator running down the middle of the inside, cutting the cage into two different parts.
"Now,
if you've seen the movie "The Skulls", you know this is for
two people
to be one in each side. But, we're not going to lower you
into
a pit and make you have to tell each other the truth. Just the
opposite
actually. We're going to make you lie to each other.
Although
this challenge should be pretty easy. After all, it's just
another
Monday for the two of you huh?"
Joe laughed, but the two teens didn't. They preferred to just look around nervously.
Joe waved his hand at them. "Ah you're just a couplea jackasses. Anyway, get naked."
Both of them shook their heads. "What?" they asked together.
"Come on! It's the gratuitous sex part of the show. We're required to do at least one challenge with it every week. So drop everything off ya."
The two looked a little reluctant but did what they were told. Then they each took a side in the cage.
"Okay, now the trick is that you can't make any movements toward each other, you've got to stay on your own respective sides. No bumping up against the metal got it? We're going to leave you in there for a minute and a half. Starting now."
Cristian looked up at the ceiling and whistled while Natalie sighed and drummed her fingers against the cage. Eventually the two's eyes met. They sent jacquard smiles at each other.
Cristian,
searching for something to say, foolishly opened his
mouth.
"Hey, if it's any consolation, I always knew you were a
natural
redhead."
Natalie's eyes squinted. "Uhm...Thanks. Bet you're not." she said and laughed. Then something out of the corner of her eye caught her attention, so she glanced down. "Uhm, Cris. You wanna get that thing back on your side please."
"Oh, sorry." He grabbed it and pulled it back.
It hit Natalie what she had actually seen. "Holy shit! That's the size of it when it's freezing cold?"
"Well yeah. Why do you think I wear such big pants?"
"I usually don't think about your pants. Well..."
"Well what Natalie?"
"Well, I do think about your pants. Like EVERY day."
"It's funny..."
"What is Cris?"
"I...I think about your pants every day too."
"You do?"
"Yes!"
"Wow! We ARE two crazy kids in love, just thinking about each other's dress wear! I never dreamed this could happen to me!"
"Oh Natalie!"
"Oh Cristian!"
The two took steps toward the middle of the cage.
BUZZZZZZZZ! "TIME!"
"Oh God Damnit!" Cristian mumbled at the same time Natalie mumbled "Mother fucker!"
The lights came on and Joe rushed to the cage.
"Man that was intense! But you made it."
"Just great." Cristian fumed.
"Yeah, yay us." Natalie fumed right behind him.
They
put back on their clothes and began walking back to the
group.
Cristian
trotted up to Joe and leaned in close to whisper a question
to
him. "Hey, is it really winning if you go home with blue balls
and
a boner the size of the Eiffel tower?"
Joe took a giant step toward his left, away from Cristian. "Okay please stop talking to me now."
