The Bachelor Episode 2:
Group Date 1
"And here you are, girls, the first date box!" Alex's dazzling smile reflected of the camera and the light, now concentrated on an unfortunate fly, blinded it before setting the poor creature on fire. Blind and ablaze, it flew haphazardly into the date box, beginning to smolder.
"OH MY GAWD! IT'S LIKE ON FIRE!" screeched Kristy.
"Huh.. I didn't know flies spontaneously combusted like that.. interesting..." noted Tori.
"I could write a song about this.. O' fly, life cut so unfairly short-" Angela mused.
"Actually, that was a fruit fly." Commented Tori.
"So?" demanding Holly while attempting to extinguish the flames by frantically waving her arms in its general direction, fueling the fire.
"It would have only lived about two days anyways." Explained the scientist.
"...What rhymes with tragic?" questioned the singer.
~*~*~*~
"Take 2!"
"I thought they didn't do takes on Reality TV.." came Kelly's voice.
"Yeah, like.. it's reality, no takes.. just what happens..." Sarah feebly supplied.
"Yeah, and I do all my shows live!" Angela said sarcastically as she and Kristy snorted at the naïve members of their competition.
~*~*~*~
"Dude.. a group date.. like a giant orgy..."
"Sketchy!"
~*~*~*~
"And the girls will be.. Trisha! Terri! Ann! Melissa! Faye! Sarah.." Kristy scrunched her face up when she reached Sarah's name, then shrieked "and ME!"
"Where are we going?? What are we doing?" called Melissa, Ann and Trisha.
Kristy stared at the page for too long and another girl had ripped away from her and read: "Sledding! . . . Sledding?"
~*~*~*~
Ann yelled as Trisha and Melissa shoved her inner tube down the snow coated mountain while Sarah hung back. Terri and Faye were trudging up the mountain, lugging sleds behind them, while Alec was laughing with Kristy on his arm, watching the antics. With a speed inhuman.. but not blurring, because hey, transgenic, not stupid, he pushed Trisha and Melissa down after Ann, who was laughing hysterically and hanging on for dear life as she careened down the hill.
~*~*~*~
"Sledding? They call that a date? Come on, look at this! It's pathetic! None of them are good enough for Alec!" ranted Cece.
~*~*~*~
Sarah yelped as the other ganged up on her to send her down the mountain, some with more that good natured fun for intent. The landscape whirled crazily around her and she squeezed her watering eyes shut, hoping that this simple act would make it go away. It just helped her right into a large snow drift instead.
~*~*~*~
"Can you believe that Sarah? I mean, really! The girl thinks she's got a chance, come on!" Holly gossiped to the other girls who were now all hanging out at the Mansion's pool.
"Better than Shelly!" Angela added.
"But by how much?" Holly shot back, and both girls cracked up.
~*~*~*~
Kristy held tightly onto Alec's muscled abs, currently riding behind him on a long sled and delighted at the chance she was getting to be with him. Grinning mischievously, she began wiggling her fingers and causing Alec to laugh from the tickling. The sleigh, now without a competent driver, flipped them over in a laughing heap.. for a while.
"Ow! My ankle!"
~*~*~*~
"It'll be fine in a few days, you didn't even sprain it." A set guy told Kristy.
"You guys are taping this, right? Poor little Kristy with the BROKEN ANKLE!" the blonde demanded.
"Umm.. no.. Mam'. The director said cut and we-"
"Well.. TAPE!" the man scurried back to the camera to do as told.
"Ow! My ankle! Oh, the pain! It's blinding!" Kristy dramatically fainted, conveniently towards the direction that Alec was in... seconds ago. A moment before she hit the ground, she realized her mistake and screamed, the harsh sound echoing off the mountain cliffs. A short time later, far, far away, a distracted skier tumbled right off the edge of said cliffs.
~*~*~*~
Six scantily clad women and one hot guy descended into the hot tub.
"Poor Kristy..." Said Trisha
"I know..."
"So brave.."
"I am.. what with this ankle, it's just a strain being in here."
"Do you need to get out?" questioned the Bachelor, concerned.
"No.." she sniffed bravely, "I'm feeling better just being here with you.." she said, sidling up to Alec.
~*~*~*~
"How lame! This is a shame! It's a scam! They throw 25 whores at him and say, screw them and marry one! An outrage!"
"Dude.. Cece! Calm down! If you don't want him there all that much.."
"I don't!"
"I'll go! Ow! Watch the nose!" Biggs gingerly felt his abused face. "No blood.."
"So?"
"You're weaker than Shelly!" an outraged shout followed this comment. "You scream like a girl!"
~*~*~*~
Sarah stumbled out, surprised to find everyone already in the hot tub. Ever girl in a bikini and Alec in trunks. She looked down from habit and found her own body, clad in a one piece suit, topped off with little goldfish swimming along it. A furious blush rose to her cheeks as she approached the tub, in to far to back out now.. no matter what.
"After we come back.. One lucky girl gets to have a ONE on ONE date with Alex!" Alex wrapped up.
"Alec!"
"CUT!"
~*~*~*~
"-ONE on ONE date with Alex! After that, the last group date and finally the rose ceremony in which Alex will eliminate Nine Women! Stay tuned to.. The Bachelor!
~*~*~*~
"Hey, Look, Cindy!"
"What, Eyes Only? That guy is so..."
"No! Some dead skier was found right where The Bachelor date thing is happening! He says it's a demonstration against the horrendous, degrading practice that is the show." Sketchy repeated the information being relayed to Original Cindy.
"Foo's jealous."
"So he killed a skier? Ow! Jeez, is Max rubbing off on you or something?"
Author's Follow-up: Wow, was planning a different direction, but I was like ghost writing! Anyways, enjoy, and the next part will hopefully be up soon!
