Chapter 8
"Right guys, now that you are all here, and have chosen to see the clips, you have just one more decision to make. You can either choose to watch the clip alone, or let your fellow guys watch too. It's completely up to you. Right Seth you are up first, so what do you want to do?" Brad looked towards Seth waiting for an answer.
"I guess I'll let the guys watch it with me. If anything bad happens in it they'd end up hearing about it for ages anyway." Everyone chuckled as Brad handed Seth the DVD player.
"Just press play when you're ready."
Seth took a deep breath and pressed play.
When the screen flickered on Seth saw Anna walking with the date he had chosen for her. Mike. They seemed to be having a nice talk, she was laughing at what he was saying. The clip went on for another minute or so, when it finished Seth looked up towards Brad and handed him the DVD player back.
"So Seth, how do you feel about that?" Brad asked.
Seth just shrugged "Fine that was completely innocent." He gave a relieved smile at Ryan. Although he trusted Anna, he didn't trust every other guy she was spending the next two weeks with.
"Ok, good. Ryan you're turn. What's you're decision?"
"I'll share too. Everything will be seen anyway after this is finished, might as well let them see it now." Ryan said more confidently than he had felt.
The clip opened with Theresa talking to Luke, she playfully shoved him and he just smiled at her. They were walking through some local town. A woman walked up to them with a basket of flowers asking Luke if he would buy a flower for his lovely lady. He did. Theresa accepted the flower and kissed Luke on the cheek. The screen went blue.
"Ryan, how do you feel about that?" Brad asked when he had the DVD player in his hands again.
"Ok, I mean its hard seeing your fiancée on a date with someone else, but that's the point right?" He answered, he felt slightly scared that he might actually lose Theresa here, but he knew it wouldn't be to Luke.
After the other two guys where shown their clips, which too were innocent. They were all told that they were to go on a separate part of the beach and record their message for their partners. They would receive there message, if they got one, in the morning.
The Girls Camp
"Right girls, you will now see the clips of your partners on their first dates. You have another decision to make before you see them. You must decide whether you want your fellow girls to see the clip with you or for you to watch it alone. Anna you are first. What's your decision?"
"I'll show the girls." Anna said and smiled as Brad handed her the DVD player.
The clip started with Marissa and Seth walking through the butterfly farm, laughing and joking. Anna smiled, Seth could make anyone laugh, and it was his gift. She couldn't help but laugh when Seth gave a girly scream when a butterfly flew past his ear. She could see Marissa laughing at him. The screen went blue.
"So Anna you're laughing, does that mean you liked the clip?" Brad asked while Anna was handing him the DVD player back.
"It was fine; it was Seth just being Seth." Anna had to admit she was relieved, she was kind of expecting to see Seth bombarding Marissa with questions about Summer, but she hadn't seen all of the date, so she couldn't be sure if he or not.
"Theresa?" Brad asked while handing her the clip.
"Ill let the girls watch." Theresa said while she pressed play and got into a position while the other girls could see.
The shot opened with Ryan and Summer standing at the top of the waterfall, both just standing looking out over the view, and talking in what seemed a normal conversation to the camera. Theresa knew that although she couldn't hear what he was saying that it would be innocent. He wouldn't say much to Summer. Then all of a sudden Summer screamed, and laughed when Ryan tried to push her into the waterfall. Theresa smiled, ever the playful Ryan. She laughed out loud, when summer jumped at him, pushing them both over the edge. The screen went blue. Theresa smiled and looked up. She knew because of their past that it meant nothing. Had it been Marissa or someone else she would have been worried.
"Theresa, you're smiling, happy with the clip." Theresa just continued to smile and handed Brad the clip back.
"As happy as I could be." Theresa replied.
As the two other clips Theresa and Anna couldn't help but think that their clips where easy to watch, but knew the others wouldn't be as easy.
"Now you are to go down a secluded spot on the beach and record your message for your partners. You will be given your message in the morning."
