Chapter 2 – Qualification Stunt: Kosuke

"Okay," Joe said after 15 aspirins later. "Let's get this started." The Black-Eyed Peas (who I don't own) start playing the background. "I didn't ask for background music!" The music stopped.

"I wonder what we have to do...?" Daisuke asked no one in particular.

"Kyuu..." Wiz said.

"What do you think, moron!" Dark snapped sharply, bonking poor Dai-kun on the head. "We do the first stunt!"

"Actually, it's the qualification stunt," Joe said matter-of-factly. All the contestants except Satoshi murmured in worried hushed voices among themselves. "It's actually very simple," our host began. "You must complete the qualification stunt in order to actually participate in our show. The stunt..."

"...What kind of stunt is it?" Kosuke asked, suddenly wanting to run all the way back home.

"Don't be such a worrywart, sweetie!" Emiko told him in an attempt to encourage him. "It can't be dangerous!"

"...is very dangerous and we can't guarantee your survival," Joe finished. Kosuke paled as Emiko laughed nervously.

"...You mean you can't guarantee his survival?" Satoshi suddenly asked, indirectly mentioning Krad.

"Basically."

Satoshi's face lit up, which wasn't very different from his normal expression, but oh well, it's just a figure of speech.

"Oh no!" Risa cried in distress. "A very dangerous stunt! This kind of stress isn't good for my complexion!"

"...Then just quit already," some random puppet of the author named Koko grumbled as he passed by.

"Oh, but I can't!" Risa said. "That will leave my precious, precious Dark alone with my evil sister Riku!"

"I think you're the evil sister from the two of you," Koko told her, folding his arms and raising an eyebrow.

Risa glared and tried to beat him up, but Koko, being the author's puppet of randomness, gave her a black eye and ran off. Risa shook her fist at Koko's disappearing figure on the horizon. "Damn you, you...you...you puppet!" She pulled out a mirror and screamed. "OMIGOSH I have a black eye!" she cried out and burst into tears.

"Oh would you just grow up!" Riku snapped. "It's just a black eye, it's no biggie!"

"That's easy for an ugly, manly girl like you!" Risa retorted, sticking out her tongue at her identical twin sister.

"What did you call me!" Riku asked angrily and beat the crap out of Risa without waiting her answer. Now Risa is crying about two black eyes.

"...I don't get paid enough for this," Joe grumbled. "Okay, here's the stunt! You must drink this glass of milk!" Everyone anime fainted.

"I thought you said it was dangerous!" Daisuke accused.

"Oh my gosh, a glass of milk!" Dark said sarcastically. "How dangerous!"

"Kyuu!" Wiz agreed.

"I've faced more dangerous things on my dinner plate," Kosuke chuckled. Emiko hit him with a paper fan.

"...I seriously don't get paid enough," Joe repeated to himself. "Let me finish, you dumb characters! You must drink this glass of expired milk while riding a unicycle blindfolded on that tightrope over electrocuted water!"

The "Psycho" theme played as all the contestants looked at the unicycle, followed the tightrope over the electrocuted water, and stared at the glass of milk...I mean, expired milk. "..."

"The one who gets the fastest time automatically gets to the next round. The one with the slowest time doesn't. Oh, and of course, if you die, we'll send you...or what's left of you...to your family, where you can have a nice, er...time..." Joe said. "We have randomly selected who goes first..." A random guy came and whispered something in Joe's ear. "Oh, it seems that our machine that randomly selects contestants is broken, so you all have to do Eenie-Meenie-Minie-Mo to decide."

The contestants got into a circle and put their feet in. "Ready?" Daisuke asked. "Here we go...Eenie, meenie, minie, mo, catch a tiger by the toe, if it hollers let it go, eenie, meenie, minie...mo!"

Five minutes later, everyone but Emiko and Satoshi were crying their eyes out. Emiko wasn't crying because she got picked to go last, and Satoshi...well, he's Satoshi, he doesn't cry.

"Okay, whoever goes first has to get on the unicycle!" Joe announced.

Kosuke wiped his eyes and blew his nose. "Okay, here I go," he said. He turned to Daisuke, Emiko, and Wiz. "I love you, my dear family!"

"Make us proud, dear!" Emiko cheered.

So Kosuke got blindfolded, got on the unicycle, and took the glass of expired milk from Joe. He took a deep breath and called out, "I'm ready!"

"Okay, Kosuke, good luck!" Joe called out. "Any last words – I mean, questions?"

"...Do I really have to do this?"

"YES! Get on your way now!" Joe kicked the unicycle, forcing Kosuke to start. A little timer to the lower left hand corner started. No, your left.

Everyone watched with their mouths open. Kosuke was barely balancing on the rope with the unicycle. Then he almost lost his balance.

"NOOOOO! DAD!" Daisuke cried, hugging his mom.

"You're doing great, Kosuke-kun!" Emiko called out.

"Kyuu!" Wiz shouted to him.

"STOP TALKING TO ME!" Kosuke shouted in a desperate voice. Right before he got to the end, he accidentally spilled the milk all over his face. "Aw, no!" he moaned, as he took off the blindfold.

"And...time!" Joe called. "Since you still managed to empty the glass before you finished, so Kosuke, you pass to the next round with a time of 1 hour, 3 minutes, and 38 seconds!"

Kosuke collapsed. "I'm...I'm alive...!" he panted in relief.

"Okay, next person!" Joe said. Satoshi walked up to the unicycle.

"Best of luck, Satoshi-sama," Krad called to him.

Satoshi ignored him and said, "I'm ready."

"The time to beat is 1:03:38, Satoshi," Joe said. "Are you ready?"

Satoshi pulled out a notebook. "I believe I said I was ready 15 seconds ago," he replied calmly.

A vein throbbed on Joe's head as he said behind clenched teeth, "Get...on...the...unicycle."

The blue haired boy shrugged as he pocketed the notebook and climbed onto the unicycle. "As you wish."
