I'm back! Just when Chiro thought he was gonna get off...
Chiro: Oh, damn.
Me: MUAHAHAHAHA!... anyway, read and review!
Chapter twelve - Makeup and another task
Chiro woke up, and he instantly knew something was not right. Well, everyone was looking at him and laughing, and Chira and Chiroo were looking strangely proud. Weird.
"I'm gonna get some coconut milk, okay?" said Chiro, slowly getting up. Sparx burst out laughing.
"Um... okay, what's going on?" Chiro demanded.
"Um, just go get a drink, okay?" said Nova, shoving her hand in her mouth to stop herself from laughing.
Chiro ran off to the food supplies.
When he got there, the coconut milk was gone. The only other drink option was water, so he went to a stream that just happened to not be salty.
Then he saw his reflection.
What was this? Chiro looked closely at the reflection in the water. It had redness under the eyes, and bits of yellow on the cheeks. There was green-brown mush across the reflection's nose, and black lumps on its forehead. This couldn't be Chiro's reflection!
Chiro screamed. The reflection screamed as well. That's when it hit him.
That was Chiro's reflection.
------
Sparx bit into a red apple. "I wonder what Chiro's doing?" he said curiously.
"I hope he hasn't seen his reflection." said Nova, pulling at a fern.
Too late. Chiro came storming into camp (after carefully removing the makeup) and did the sumo-wrestler jump onto Chira and Chiroo. That resulted in a major punch-up between the three.
Chiro smashed Chiroo's Head. "DON'T EVER..."
He yanked at Chira's hair. "EVER..."
He rounded on the monkeys. "EVER PUT MAKEUP ON ME AGAIN!"
Sparx burst out laughing. "Couldn't help it! You looked so funny..." Sparx stopped laughing. Chiro didn't look happy.
"I'm gonna kill you!" he hissed, and leapt on the red monkey. The two fought until the rest of the contestants (except Mr Jeepers) jumped on them, resulting in a huge stack.
"Grrfffhhhhkklllppssnmn!" said the muffled voices of Sparx and Chiro.
When everyone had gotten off him, Chiro glared at Sparx. "I know who I'm going to be voting for in the next Tribal Council!" he snapped, and stormed off.
"All over makeup!" breathed Sparx. "Too much makeup makes Chiro a crazy boy!"
Chira looked disappointed. "So he didn't like our makeup?" she said.
"No." said Otto. "And I didn't like it either."
Chira and Chiroo burst into tears.
"It's true!" joked Sparx. "If you're planning to be beauticians, don't be disappointed if the people turn you down!"
The twins cried harder.
"Please be quiet!" said Antauri. "I'm going to find Chiro."
"No need." said Chiro, appearing out of nowhere. "I want coconut milk."
"Aren't you mad anymore?" asked Otto.
"I don't hold grudges..." said Chiro. "... unlike some people..." he added, glancing at Gibson. Gibson threw an icy glare, but said nothing.
Suddenly, the loud voice boomed across the island. Once again, it had taken the contestants by surprise.
"CONTESTANTS!" the booming voice... er, boomed. "COME DOWN TO THE BEACH FOR ANOTHER TASK!"
"Already...?" sighed Gibson. "These tasks are pointless!"
"POINTLESS?" the voice screamed. "THEY ARE TESTS OF ENDURANCE, COURAGE BUT MOSTLY I JUST LIKE TO WATCH YOU SUFFER! SO GET DOWN TO THE BEACH NOW!"
The contestants scuttled down to the beach.
------
The host was waiting for them. "You're late." he said. "Last time you took 1.23 minutes, now you took 1.24 minutes."
"One second!" Chiro snapped. "Does it really matter?"
"Yes." answered the host. "Anyway, this is your next task..." The host held up a coconut. But it wasn't any coconut - it was bright pink.
"I have painted several coconuts bright pink, and they are hidden around the island. I will split you up into two teams - the one who finds the most bright pink coconuts in ten minutes will get Immunity."
"The whole team?" questioned Otto.
"Yes. The whole team." said the host. "So you'd better find the coconuts! Now, in team one: Antauri. Chiro. Nova. In team two: Otto. Gibson. Sparx. Give your teams a name and on the count of three, you will find the coconuts!"
"What about Mr Jeepers?" Otto piped up.
"He is not participating." said the host. "He is a toy. Toys do not do tasks."
"Then why is he on Survivor Shuggazoom?" asked Nova. The host said nothing.
The two teams got together and decided on names. Team one decided on 'Untitled', because they couldn't think of anything.
Not the case for team two. Otto had decided on the name 'Green Monkeys' while Gibson wanted 'Scientific Monkeys', but Sparx wanted 'Poor Sparx Is On A Team With Idiots'. In the end, they decided on plain 'Monkeys'.
When 'Untitled' and 'Monkeys' were ready, the host did the countdown.
"ONE! TWO! THREE! GO!"
The teams zoomed off into the forest, searching for as many coconuts as they possibly could.
------
Ten minutes later, 'Untitled' and 'Monkeys' were lined up on the beach with all the coconuts. It was quite obvious that 'Untitled' had won the task with 12 coconuts. 'Monkeys' had lost by a lot, with 5 coconuts.
"'Untitled' has won the task!" yelled the host. "Congratulations!"
"Does Mr Jeepers get Immunity as well?" asked Otto hopefully.
The host thought deeply. "Hmm... yeah, alright." he said after a while. Otto whooped with joy.
"Now, tomorrow is Tribal Council." said the host. "I will not come and collect you this time. Anyone who is late will lose their Immunity."
"What is you don't have Immunity?" questioned Gibson.
"Just be quiet!" the host snapped. "Anyway, the Tribal Council is at sunset. Don't forget!" And with that, the host walked off.
"Weird." said Nova. "Anyway, I think I'll make lunch today."
Everyone looked fearful. "Don't worry," said Nova. "I'm a good cook... well, better than Antauri." she added, but luckily, nobody heard.
But when they made it back to camp, it seemed that Antauri was a bit angry with Nova for some unknown reason. Maybe he had heard her back on the beach...
"Antauri, could you pass the apples?" asked Nova politely.
"Get them yourself." Antauri snapped, not so politely. "Do I have to do everything around here?"
Nova sighed. "I just wanted you to get the apples." she muttered, and stormed off to get some fish.
"What was that all about, Antauri?" said Chiro, rounding on the black monkey. "She only wanted the apples!"
Antauri looked away. "Nobody likes my cooking." he mumbled.
"Don't worry!" said Sparx. "Some monkeys are good cooks, some monkeys just poison others without meaning to. We can't be good at everything!"
"Gee, thanks!" muttered Antauri. "That makes me feel much better."
Nova returned with one tiny fish, and she didn't look pleased.
"See?" said Sparx. "You can't cook, she can't fish! Perfect example." Sparx suddenly made a run for it as Nova attempted to smash his face in.
Well, lunch was... interesting. A few sliced apples and a piece of fish the size of a fingernail. Well, Nova did only catch one fish.
"I'm hungry!" complained Otto. "I'm gonna get another apple."
Nova avoided conversation with everyone the whole time, mainly because she noticed everyone thought she could have done better with the cooking.
"Don't worry!" said Chiro. "You're much better than Bill!"
"I should hope so!" said Nova. "I'll go get some coconuts." And she disappeared into the forest.
Well, that wasn't the most... uh, happening chapter, but the next one has a giant surprise! Trust me, and his something to do with the coconuts...
Nova: Tell me!
Antauri: Yeah! Tell us!
Me: No, you'll tell the reviewers!
Monkey Team: No we won't!
Me: I'm not taking any chances... (turns to reviewers) Anyway, review!
