Disclaimer: Okay, ask yourself this: IF I owned Dark Angel, would I be writing crappy fanfiction? Would Logan and Max be together? Would the show be canceled?
Author's Note: Someone posted a challenge and I happened to refuse due to lack of time. Then I saw the first episode of this Season of the Bachelor and reread the challenge and accepted. Enjoy!
The Bachelor Episode 3:
Group Date 1
"WELCOME BACK!" screams Alex.
The sound guy spasms.
"Sir… it's a 66 boom mic. That hollering is unnecessary."
"BUT AREN'T YOU SO GLAD TO BE BACK?"
The sound guy just cringes.

I wish there was something interesting to record at Crash, but unfortunately it is just a drunk OC making out with some girl. Of course Sketchy is drooling over this.
Alex skips up to the girl's mansion, toting a banana shaped object under his arm. He calls out something, muted to the cameras, and Melissa trots out from the side yard. She's got work out clothes on and wipes sweat away from her forehead.
"I've got your next group daaaate!" Alex mouths.
Riley saunters out and looks quizzically at the banana. Kristy, just behind, takes the initiative and slides by the taller girl to take the bananna from their host.
He motions putting it to her ear.
With raised eyebrows, she does so. After several moments of the blonde listening to the oversized fruit she turns to the other girls.
"Better get showered," she says to Melissa "You, Faye, Holly and me get to go a sushi place tonight."
Riley snorts as the other girls make their way inside.
-----
"So I can't just sleep with them?"
"Alec, babes, toots, sweetie, that can't happen till at LEAST episode 4. I mean…. You have 10 girls right now. As polygamous as this show proves America to be, that's just plain not acceptable. And I'd prefer…. If you waited till the second to last episode."
"You're making me eat sushi."
"Sushi's good! It's fodder for drama. With throw in the right soundtrack to extreme close ups of that raw fish… that's great TV right there. Makes people think, ya know."
"So no sex?"
"No. Sushi."
"Sushi." A sigh.
-----
"So… this is raw?" Kristy questions, trying not to look too disdainful.
"They do that sometimes." Faye replies, sardonic.
"HeyheyHEY, girls. It's an exotic dish… see how each one is truly unique and special? Just like all of you…." Alex sweetens the meal.
"Don't worry, restaurants need licenses to serve anything raw." Holly, our lovable cook, assures the others.
------
"We did check their license sir, didn't we?"
"Uh…"
"It would be a liability."
"Uh…."
-----
Logan punches the wall of his prison cell.
Then he falls over in pain, fetal positioned, clutching his fist to his chest and whimpering.
"I need my T3 internet…. T3 internet….."
-----
This part of the show has no dialogue. But there are dramatic close ups of sushi, coupled with even more dramatic music.
-----
Biggs turns his head to one side; Cece turns her head to the other.
"You're looking at it wrong. See… that's a tail."
"You're so gross!" a girly squeal is accompanied by a not-so-girly punch.
"It is!!"
-----
"Dude… look… it's two chicks makin' out."
OC smacks Sketchy.
"We finished that hours ago, foo. You're just looking at a poster for orange juice."
"chicas?"
-----
Author's Follow Up: Uhm…. Short, yes. But… updated. And what more can you do with sushi? More to come.
