Miracle! It finally happened! I updated my story! :D

I only said I'm sorry, I am really sorry for having taken so long. What else can I said? Enjoy, sorry for any grammar error, read and review! :)

By the way, today we have to choose who to eliminate. I'll tell how to do it later...

How we met the stars - Part 3

The Merciless Critics were surrounded by men in black suit that looked at them threateningly. The competitors were frightened.

"Ow!" Ellana was exasperated.

"Do you have some ideas?" Craig asked sarcastically to Ananasia. The girl was agitated, but tried to remain calm.

"We can try to talk to them... ask them what they want..." Ananasia said.

"I don't think they want to talk..." Jake said, without taking his eyes from those men.

Ginny put Nathan down gently and said. "Don't worry, this is Chris who wants to scare us!"

"I hate that MAN!" Ellana cried. Then she turned to the men. "Listen up! Today isn't a good day for me! I had a bad quarter of an hour stuck in an elevator and for lunch I ate a strange green goo! So, go away and try not to ruin my day even more!"

The men just approached even more.

"From what I see, you're so good on convincing people." Criag said, but the girl ignored him.

Suddently, Takara ran ahead and kicked the man who stood nearest. The other men were shocked for a moment, then went all against the girl. Takara cried. "I wouldn't mind some help!"

The first who helped her was Ben, who started kicking too. Then, all the others joined him. To their surprise, the men were easy to defeat.

Meanwhile, the Sleazy Directors were climbing the stairs.

"I feel that something is watching us..." said Trix. "...and I'm not referring to Chris!"

Jesus answered her, tired of hearing people complain. "If you don't like being watched, you shouldn't have come here!"

"Hey! I WANTED TO COME HERE!" Trix replied him.

CONFESSION CAM - Trix

Trix said. "I can't believe that I'm actually here! Well, wish me luck! I'm showing my dad that there's more than one way to make money in this world!" Her eyes grew wide and she appeared somewhat nervous. "And by that I mean...that I don't have to be in the family's...vending machine business..." She giggled nervous. "yeah..."

"Please, don't argue, we're a..." Damon didn't have time to finish the phrase, because he had to close his mounth. Indeed, all the competitors had to close their mouth.

Down the hall there was a door. But before the door, there was a sleeping man, sat on a chair with his back against the wall. You would say it was a kind of gatekeeper. From the pocket of his jacket there was, so that the guys could see it, a key.

Dean whispered. " Let's walk on tiptoe."

All the boys walked in silence, trying to move as quietly as possible. Dean tried to open the door, but it was locked.

"And now?" He said.

"I saw that the guard has a key in his pocket. We can try with that." Taylor whispered.

"I'll take it..." Louise said. On tiptoe, she approached the man and gently pulled the key from his pocket. Then she returned to the group.

Jesus grabbed the key from her hands and slipped it into the lock, as the man groanted and turned his head to one side.

When the boy turned the key and opened the door, there was a loud noise of the cornerstones that made the boys shiver and woke the sleeping man.

The man opened his eyes, got up, took a gun from his pocket and pointed it toward the boys.

All the Sleazy Directors were scared.

"Now what can we do?" Luke asked.

Ken turned back to Taz and ran toward the man, while all the others cried. "No! Stop!"

The man pointed the gun at him, but he didn't have time to shoot, because Ken came over him. When man fell, the gun slipped away from him.

Jesus stepped forward and took the gun. Then he pointed it to the man and said. "Well, now you have to take us on the top floor and reveal us where the bomb is."

Almost no one listened Jesus, but they all went to Ken, who by then had become himself and was on the ground.

"Dude, you beated him. Can you teach me that move?" Luke asked.

"What move?" Ken asked nervously.

"The one you did before." Taylor said, surprised.

CONFESSION CAM - Ken

Ken looked at the camera shyly. "In truth, I know what they're talking about... but I would prefer that this remain a secret between you and me." He cleared his throat. "Sometimes... I'm no longer myself. There's something inside of me... or someone... well, it's difficult to explain. Can you cut it, please?"

Jesus called the others. "Guys, let's follow this guy..." The man drove the boys to the top floor.

The Merciless Critics had already beaten the men in black suit, whom had turned out to be just Chris's assistants.

The top floor was full of boxes of various sizes. The competitors began to look inside them.

Ben came up once again to Brianna. "You know, I am convinced that teamwork is essential to learn more about... your teammates."

Brianna was a little uncomfortable. "Sure... I agree."

Ben arched his eyebrow. "Do you want to learn more about me?"

Brianna was still unsure. "M-maybe later, now we must look for the bomb..." Then she opened a box, as Ben sighed.

CONFESSION CAM - Ben

Ben said. "I wish I could get Brianna to at least smile at me. She is the first girl I've met in my entire life to not swoon over me when I talk to her. I need to do something to impress her. I'll beat up these guys in black suits now and later I'll play a song for her on my guitar. Those things might impress her, right?" He sighed and smiled. "I really want Brianna to like me, she is very beautiful and nice girl. I'll use whatever knowledge I learned from cotillion training to get her to notice me for the nice gentleman I am." He looked into camera with a determined expression.

Ellana approached Ananasia. "Hey, have you any idea where the might be?"

Ananasia replied, without looking up from the box. "Seek and you shall find."

Ellana repled. "it's impossible to look in every box in this room. And moreover, I don't even heard the noise of the bomb."

The Merciless Critics saw that also the Sleazy Directors arrived. Jesus was pointing a gun at a man who seemed terrified.

Craig shouted. "Hey, this's unfair! The others have a guide!"

Jesus pretended not to hear him, but smirked. Then he asked to the man. "Ok, now tell us where is the bomb."

The man thought about it, then opened a box, shivering. All the Sleazy Directors approached the box.

Well, almost everyone. Faith picked up a mouse and started to talk with it. Trix looked at her. "What are you doing?"

Faith turned to Trix, shocked. "He's saying that Chris killed all his family and used their bodies for some stage costumes!"

Crystal looked at Faith terrified. "Are there rats here?" Then she screamed and fled into CJ's arms, who was very happy to welcome her.

Damon took the bomb. "Who can turn off a bomb?"

Craig snorted and said. "You can't even turn off a bomb. Give it to us!"

CJ, even if unwilling, stopped hugging Crystal and said. "In one of my films, I had to pretend to turn off a bomb. Maybe it's the same."

Then he approached cautiously the bomb, while the others watched him breathlessly. Ben crushed the only red button of the bomb, which turned off instantly.

All the Sleazy Directors jumped and shouted with joy, while the Merciless Critics, though they had lost, breathed a sigh of relief.

Chris entered in the room and said. "This night the Sleazy Directors'll sleep peacefully and enjoy their rewards, which they'll find in their houses."

Then he turned towards the other team. "Guys, what happened to you? First you were ahead. I trust in you. But you made me laugh a lot..."

Craig said, not realizing that Ellana and Jake looked at him wrong. "What can I say? Poor organization."

"I've seen. Oh well, the fact is that one of you is going home tonight. See you later." Chris replied.

During the dinner, the Merciless Critics were arguing about who to eliminate.

Lucas said. "So... for who we should vote?"

Craig shrugged. "I'm spoilt for choice." Then he pointed one by one his teammates. "The fake tough guy, the girl chatcher, Karate Kid, the two clowns... and why not the histerical woman?" He ended by referring at Ellana.

The girl snarled. "Why not the genius that brought us to the broken elevator?"

Craig replied. "Ehy! I couldn't know if it was broken or not!"

Ben said to Brianna. "I only know that I won't vote for you..."

The girl blushed and said. "Thank you..."

"Guys, everyone is free to eliminate who wants. It's useless argue among ourselves." Ananasia said.

"I agree." Craig said. "Although I would eliminate three at times."

"Yes, maybe we should do as Ananasia says..." Tonya said as the others nodded.

Who will be the first to leave? And what the Sleazy Directors have won? Read the next chapter, but first you have to vote!

So, this time the Merciless Critics have lost. This means that the owners of these OCs can vote, of course for another OC of the same team:

- Takara, Brianna, Ananasia, Ellana, Ginny, Tonya

- Ben, Nathan, Jake, Lucas, Craig

Rules:

1)Send me a PM message, DON'T WRITE IT IN THE REVIEWS!

2)Who has two OCs must give two votes (which may be for two different OCs, or for the same OC).

3)In addition to voting, I'd like to know which OC you have, and why you vote for that OC. It's just curiosity, I won't write it in the story.

4)The votes should therefore be given no later than four days.

5)The OC that will get the highest number of votes, is eliminated.

6)Good luck!
