A/N: THIRD AND FINAL WARNING: DO NOT TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY! This is C3 'cause I don't know what else to do to kill time right now, I wouldn't be surprised if I actually end up posting twice today. I need something to calm my nerves and this definitely takes my mind off of school.

Onto C3 and please forgive me but the Hunter Exam is going to be whacked. I can't remember a lot of it, so here goes nothing ^^

I was rocking on my heels, leaning most of my weight against the stone wall. We had spent TWO DAYS on that ship. And I was downright SICK of it. Aside from meeting Killua there had been nothing to do, and even he had ditched me after the first day, saying something about it being uncool to hang out with a girl.

Well, sor~ry for being a girl. I snorted. Today was day three since I left home for the exam, and I was wearing a pair of jeans that pooled around my ankles, half coving my boots. I had thrown in a black crop top and was currently wearing it. My blonde hair was still pulled up into a ponytail and my blue eyes were constantly scanning the crowd.

Out of the hundred or so of us who had boarded the ship in the beginning only twenty-five or so of us had actually made it here. I mean, I didn't think it was all that hard to get here. I just followed that silver haired kid, Killua. He had seemed pretty confident on where he was going. So I tagged along, not that he knew that of course. He was so dense.

I snickered. Everyone else was too stupid.

Attached to my top was my white ID badge, number 75. I liked the number. I was one of the first 100 to make it to this year's exam. I smiled, beamed actually.

"Do you want some juice?" I looked over to see a pig nosed man standing next to me, he was holding out an unopened can of orange juice.

"Gross, no." I said, pushing it away from me. He just shrugged and left.

"Oh, good you didn't drink it." I turned to see Killua standing there, hands still in the pockets of his blue shorts.

"Why would I? Orange juice is nasty." A second latter his face broke and he laughed. He was LAUGHING at me. "What?" I snapped irritated.

"That orange juice was more than just 'nasty'. He's added a strong laxative to it, one sip and you won't see anything but the toilet for the next day and a half."

"Eww…." I scrunched my face at his blunt description, glad that I didn't drink the stuff. "Wha?" I started as I saw him pop the top on an identical can of juice and chug it back. "Won't that make you sick?"

"Nope, something like this doesn't affect me. But how do you not like orange juice? It's good."

"Personal preference I guess. You're weird for drinking that stuff."

"And you're weird for not liking it."

The sound of the elevator doors opening caused me to look over as a trio of people stepped out. One was a tall man, with black hair and glasses carrying a suitcase. The second was a blonde… girl? Wearing a blue something and really pretty light blue eyes. The last one to draw my attention was the boy. He looked to be my age, wearing a green jacket and shorts. His hair was spiked back, black with green tips. The strangest part was he was carrying a fishing rod.

I lost sight of them as they made their way into the crowd. Maybe I would be lucky and get to talk to the boy. I wouldn't mind making a friend my age. Killua didn't count. He was a nuisance. Though, a helpful nuisance at times. Maybe I would keep an eye on him too.

BBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

"AH!" I jumped as something loud rang in the tunnel. I wasn't the only one startled. Many people were jumping about, all focusing on the tall man in the pipes above our heads. He was wearing a purple suit, a curly mustache and no mouth.

How were you supposed to talk without a mouth?

"Welcome to the 287th Hunter Exam. As of this moment, all of you are participants. We will be starting phase 1 with 404 and I will be leading you to the second phase."

Oh, that's how I guess.

The ground rumbled as the seemingly solid wall behind the tall guy slowly lifted. He jumped down and started walking into the now longer tunnel.

"My name is Satotz… As I said I will be leading you to the second phase. Please keep up." The pack was slowly following him and I joined it. I wanted to stay near the front as much as possible, since I didn't know what to expect.

Soon though it became apparent to me that Satotz-san was increasing his pace. Before we had been walking, now most of us were having to jog to keep up. But he never seemed to move any faster. His pace was set, but his footsteps were not. From what I could see, I watched his legs, measuring the distance of each of his steps. And he WAS increasing the distance. It was a gradual increase, unnoticeable unless you were LOOKING for it.

Add to that the pressure of not knowing how long we would have to keep up this pace… and you got yourself not only a physical endurance test, but a mental one too.

I think I was going to have a lot of fun. I adjusted the straps a little on my brown backpack and set a pace I knew I could maintain for a long time. I was the star of my school's long-distance track team after all. Passing this phase of the test would be easy…

.. or so I had thought.

A/N: As you can all probably tell, I'm not taking chapters upon chapters to spell this out. I'm making it short and (un)sweet. I don't want to put in a lot of effort of retelling everything that happens in the manga/anime. YOU GUYS SHOULD ALREADY KNOW!

…Unless you read this fandom out of boredom, in that case – this story won't help you learn anything. Watch the anime / read the manga – it's MUCH better than any of these fics.

I have to o off to class now. But please review ^^
