Chapter 3- Entries, Entries, Entries…
AN: Thanks so much, all who read Chapters 1+2 and still chose to read this one. I 3 you guys.
Also, when I said "Listed in order of appearance" in Chapter 1, I meant on the island, not in the story.
If you think I own any of these shows, it must be because if you owned something, you'd still sit around writing crappy fanfiction for it. If that's the case, I recommend you get a car, drive down to your local department store, and get a life. They should be located next to the comic books, for the same reason that the nicotine gum is located next to the cigarettes.
Anyway, make with the chapter!
CULLEN HOUSE
RENESMEE POV
"Ugggh, how many more do we have to read??"
Alice, Jasper, and I were sprawled out on the living room floor, reading and rating people's contest entries. So far we had a "Totally" pile, an "If necessary" pile, and a "Not on your life" pile. At least, that's what I called them. Alice and Jasper used "Yes," "Maybe," and "No." But where is the fun in that?
"IDK, a lot. There're about 100 entries, we have about 40 rated, and there're about 60 left. That's 20 each."
I groaned. "Great. Hey, mind if I take 5? I'm kinda hungry."
"Sure. Jasper and I will keep working," replied Alice. I went to the kitchen to get a Klondike bar. When I came back, there were about 10 more in the "Not on your life" pile and 6 in the "If necessary" pile. That left us at a total of 15 in the "Totally" pile, with 44 left to check. I got to work.
~ SEVERAL MINUTES AND 44 ENTRIES LATER~
"Akay, so we got 47 'Not on your life', 32 'If necessary', and 21 'Totally'. Just one problem: we can only take 5."
Alice sighed. "That's the point. We get rid of the 'No' and 'Maybe' piles, and then decide which 5 'Yes's we want to take."
I groaned again. More work. This was proving to be extremely tiring. I took the "No" and "Maybe" piles to the trash; then came back to help Alice and Jasper. We sifted through the pile, making random comments.
"Oh this looks nice, see? 'My name is Gracie and I want to win this trip for my family. It's my stepmom's birthday, and she would love the trip,'" Alice read. "That's so cute! She's going."
Jasper chuckled silently as Alice threw Gracie's entry to the "Yes" pile. I picked up another one. "'My name is Angela. I'd like this trip as a chance to get my best friend a vacation. She works too much,'" I read aloud. Skimming the rest, I decided that they were all nerds. Not that nerds aren't awesome, but they didn't sound very fun. "Nope," I whispered, tossing it in the "No" pile.
"Oh, this one's interesting," said Jasper. "'I am Lex Marin and my friends and I just got off of an island like yours. We were supposed to go to Palau, but we got stranded. I'd like to give everybody the chance for the tropical vacation they wanted.' That sounds like a "Maybe"; we can send them if the other five don't work out."
We continued shuffling through the entries, until we had 5 "yes", 9 "maybe", and 7 "no". The 5 entrants that we would take with us were Gracie Sheffield and her family, Max Lopez and his family (plus a few extra guests), Kat and Ryan Johnson and their friends, Alex Russo and her family (plus one extra guest), and Carly and Spencer Shay and their friends. We were set; all that was left to do was notifying the winners. I couldn't wait for the trip. It was going to be amazing.
AN: Yay! Another chapter! Well, I don't technically have 6 people yet, but my brother Annoying-la, said he'd do it, Olivia said she'd do it, and Annoying-la's friend Joey said he'd do it. So that's 4/6 (including me), and I can always forcibly include Fudgeface and Purinsesu-Hakaru if necessary. However, Joey can go, as can Annoying-la if you guys desperately want a cameo appearance. Just let me know!
Auf Wiedersehen,
Squint-la
