Authors Note: Sorry it took so long, I was writing during Independent Living class, when some of the people got into a fight and knocked over my laptop. So half the story was lost forever *tear*. So I rewrote and then edited. And it took longer than I expected. Enjoy!
"Now that the farmers are settled in. lets begin the first challenge." Said Chris, "Farmers! Are you ready for your challenge? You will have to..." He paused for dramatic effect, "stay on a horse for 30 seconds."
"Thats it? Just stay on a horse?" Asked Robert.
"Well the horse is Buckin' Bananas, from the show Outlaws of the East." Replied Chris.
"I've never heard of that show." Commented Stella.
"Yeah it got canceled after the first two episodes. But thats beside the point. Bucky B, as we like to call him, is very violent. In fact it took ten handlers to get him here, and six of them are in the infirmary." Said Chris.
"Is that safe?" Questioned Emma.
"No, not really, but you all signed contracts so you do the challenge or get sent home via the helicopter of shame and sorrow. No pressure. So ready now?"
"Nope." Replied Shonnie.
"Too bad, so sad. The lions will start us off. Which one of you wants to go first?" Chris asked, grinning madly.
"I will." Muttered Elliot. Everyone gasped.
"Dude! You can talk! I thought you were a mute or something." Terry said.
"Okey dokey, lets get goin to the corral." When they got there they saw it was empty, except a dude who was lying on the ground.(Is it called a corral?, thats what I think but...)
"Wheres the horse?" Asked Brian. Bella jumped the fence and walked over to the dude. She checked to see if he had a pulse. "Hes alive." She called out, "Can someone get some water?"
Harmony ran over to the hose, picked it up, and brought it over to Bella. "Here, let me go turn it on." She ran back and turned the knob. The water squirted onto the dude and he woke up in a frenzy.
"The horse! He's gone!" He shouted.
"Really, you don't say." Mickey responded sarcastically.
"No he bit my hand, then knocked me out. He's on the loose!" He, again, shouted.
"Farmers! New challenge, whichever team catches and immobilizes the horse gets immunity. I'll be barricading myself in my trailer." Chris yelled as he ran off.
"Well it looks like were on our own." Said Jessie.
"On our own? Every team for its self! I don't want to lose this challenge and we can't all win." Said Terry, "Lets split." And with that the Hyenas walked away.
The Lions...
"So whats our plan?" Asked Skyler.
"Well I know horses so I think I should be in charge." Stated Russell.
"Sure!" Said Jessie. Russell turned to her and smiled. She blushed and looked away.
"Oh come on! Your only saying that because you like him!" Shouted Billy, "I think I should be leader."
"How bout we vote, is that okay with all of you?" Asked Bella.
"All people who favor Russell for leader, raise your hand." Commanded Brian. Everybody raised their hand.
"Thats unfair!" Shouted Billy.
"Pray tell, how is that unfair?" Asked Russell.
"I-I bu- It just is!" He said, then walked off.
"Well then lets split into pairs! Molly and Kevin, Elliot and Emma, Brian and Bella, I'll pair with the wonderful Jessie," He said, winking at her, "Stella and Skyler. That everybody? Good lets go! We got a horse to catch!" Then he grabbed Jessie's hand, and they walked away.
Meanwhile, with the Hyenas...
"We need a plan people! Organization is the key!" Ai was lecturing them on what they needed to do, but everyone was ignoring her, and talking about random stuff.
"SHUT UP!!!!" Shouted Hunter, he looked at Ai and she gave him a small smile before saying, " What are we going to do?"
"Every guy or girl," Terry said looking at Ai, "for themselves. We should just go by ourself, we have more of a chance of finding that horse."
"But its gonna take more than one of us to actually catch and immobilize him." Alanna.(Did I spell her name right?)
"Well here, I swiped these from Chris's trailer earlier." Said Terry, as he threw everyone a walkie talkie.
"Fine, I guess this will do." Ai said, then walked away.
"Horsies! I love horses! There just so cute with their... Well I don't really see what makes horses cute. They just are, its like a super power or something. I wish I had super powers. I want to be able to fly, read minds, oh and heat vision! Wouldn't that be cool? Ooh or better yet Pie vision! I could like zap pies into existence! My favorite pie is blueberry, but apple is good to. I hate pumpkin. It's so gross. But I love carving pumpkins for Halloween." Brooke rambled.
"SHUT UP!" Everyone shouted the walked away.
"Geez, anti-social people." Brooke muttered, the walked away.
Cackling Hyenas: Hunter
Hunter had been walking around in circles. He was sure of it because he had seen that disfigured tree at least 12 times now. After a couple times of this he ran into none other than Ai.
"Hey Hunter." He heard her call out. He turned around to face her.
"Thanks for helping me back there. They never would of listened to me if it weren't for you." She added, then she smiled and walked away. Hunter smiled and decided to actually look for the horse.
:Brooke
"Where is that frieken horse?" Brooke yelled. It was obviously annoying her. Especially since there was no one to talk to. Getting frustrated she headed back to camp. Who was too know if she sat around reading all day?
:Mickey
Was in a good mood. Splitting up meant that she didn't have to listen to Brooke go on and on. It wasn't that she didn't like Brooke, she just talked to much for Mickey's liking. She was walking in a straight line. Eventually she got to the fence. Hiding in the bushes she observed the guards. She noticed that they didn't really care about their job. Smiling she walked away. It was a good day.
:Alanna
"This bites. Walking around looking for a friekin horse. Jeez, this is a sucky challenge. I could win this with both of my hands tied behind my back." She said, "In fact I think I will." She finished smirking.
She sound a piece of rope lying on the ground and tied her hands behind her back. "That should make this interesting." She said, then walked away.
:Robert and Shonnie
Robert didn't fancy the idea of walking around by himself, with a killer horse on the run. So after everybody split he approached Shonnie and asked if he wanted to tag team. Shonnie nodded yes. So the whole time they walked around in silence.
:Harmony
Harmony decided that this was a perfect time to jog. So she went back to the barn, grabbed her i-pod and started jogging. While she was jogging she spotted a black shadow, and at first wanted to check it out. But then she decide she imagined it and continued to jog on.
:Terry and Damon
"Dude, did you check over there?" Terry asked Damon.
"Yeah, dude, I told you already I did." Damon answered.
"Sorry, but obviously we've missed something because nobody's spotted the horse yet." Terry said.
"Whatever dude, I'm not gonna argue with you about it." Damon said, and with that he walked away.
Roaring Lions: Brian and Bella...
"I don't see him, do you?" Asked Brian.
"Nope, lets look over there." Said Bella
"Hold on, do you see that black shadowy thing over there?" She asked.
"Over there? Yeah! Do you think it's Bucky?" Inquired(I'm running out of words!) Brian.
"Lets go see." Bella replied. They walked over there, and it was indeed a horse. But before they got near enough to catch him, someone started calling out behind them.
"Hi, do either of you, uh, people know where I can find Chris Mclean?" Asked a slender girl with green eyes and black hair. She was wearing a white mini-skirt with a red spaghetti strap shirt barely noticeable underneath the white zip-up jacket.
"Yeah, hes in his trailer. Who are you?" Asked Bella.
"I'm Louise Laine, I'm gonna be a camper here. Or farmer. I just arrived late. Who are you?" She asked.
"I'm Bella and this is Brian." Bella told her.
"Okay, well I better go find Chris, nice meeting you." She said before walking off. Bella turned to Brian, "Why didn't you say something?"
"Think about it, shes probably going to be on the other team, and she just ruined our chances at catching the horse." Brian stated.
"Oh, o.k." Bella said, and they walked off in the direction the horse ran in.
:Elliot and Emma
""How much more are we going to have to walk? These flip-flops weren't made for walking in." Emma complained.
"We can stop and take a break if you want." Elliot said.
"Thanks Elliot, your really sweet!" She said the sat down on a log, took out a bottle of nail polish, and proceeded to paint her toe nails a bright pink.
Ten minutes later...
"Are you ready to start searching again?" Elliot asked, trying to be patient,
"No! If I start to walk now my nails will get messed up. Duh." She said.
Elliot sighed and leaned back onto a tree. This was going to be a long day.
:Stella and Skyler
Stella and Skyler were walking on the Main Platform. The horse wasn't there, but they had searched the rest of the farm, and the only place left was the woods. And everyone else was in there.
"So Skyler why did you sign up?" Asked Stella.
"Because it sounded fun, and I could use the money for college. You?" Skyler asked, with his awesome Australian accent.
"Just wanted to show people I can do anything." She replied.
"You play any sports?" He asked.
"Yeah, Softball, gymnastics, field hockey, and I also dance, but I don't think thats what you would consider a sport." She said.
"Cool, how much longer do you think it will take for them to find that horse?" He asked.
"No idea." She replied.
"Wanna play some baseball?" He asked, grinning.
"Sure!" She said, happily.
:Jessie and Russell
"So then the bear came up to me and attacked me. I got away, but my horse didn't make it." He told Jessie.
"Omg! Russell, thats so sad. I feel so bad." Jessie said.
"Thats ok, I got a new horse, but its just not the same. Still, being here with you kinda makes up for it." He replied, smiling at her. She smiled back and looked away.
"Hey! Isn't that the horse we're looking for?" Jessie asked, pointing to the left.
"Jessie! You found it!" Russell said in an excited whisper.
"Yeah, what do we do now?" She asked.
"I've got an idea." He replied.
10 minutes later Russell had created a trap. Using some of the tree limbs and rope he always carried around, he had created a cage, that would hopefully be strong enough to hold him. Quietly tip-toeing over towards the horse, he made a lasso and swung it around the horse's neck. Then he held out some carrots and led it to the cage. He gave it the carrots and closed the cage. As soon as the door was closed Bucky started getting violent.
"You were great! I can't believe you managed capture the horse." Jessie exclaimed in joy.
"Russell my man, you just won your team invincibility! Be proud! And now the Roaring Lions get a trip to a mall!" Chris said, coming out of nowhere.
"Yes!!" Emma screamed from somewhere in the woods.
Later that night at the campfire....
All of the Hyenas are there including the new Louise. Only no one could vote her off, because she hadn't participated in the challenge.
"Farmers! When I call your name come get a marshmallow! If I don't then you must get into the helicopter and be flown back to civilization!" Chris said, dramatically.
"Hunter, Ai" Chris called out. They went up there and collected there marshmallow.
"Damon, Brooke." Brooke sighed and walked up to collect the sweet treat, high-fiving Damon when she got up there.
"Mickey!" She walked up there and snatched the marshmallow from the tray.
"Harmony, Alanna!" They walked up and tossed the marshmallow in their mouths.
"That leaves, Shonnie, Terry, and Robert. Who will be going home? Who will stay?"
"My man Shonnie, your in" Shonnie grabbed the marshmallow and stored it in his pocket for later.
"Robert or Terry? Well isn't this dramatic?" Chris asked.
"And the final marshmallow goes to... Terry!"
"Sorry dude." Terry said.
"It's all cool." Robert grabbed his awaiting luggage and hopped onto the helicopter.
Well then thats the end of this weeks episode of Fun, Farm, ISLAND! See you next week.
A/N: Sorry it took so long but at 2198 words, this is my logest chapter yet. Was gonna have Terry go, but then decided Robert was my character and he couldn't be on for long anyways. L8er G8er!
