"Our next challenge will begin now," Chris says slyly, as the campers are walking off the boat.

"What? But we just got back from our other challenge!" Duncan protests, Courtney clinging to him.

"I know!" Chris exclaims, chuckling. "We will begin our next contest right away. It'll be fun." The campers roll their eyes. "Meanwhile, the girls need to change into outfits in there." Chris points to a trailer. The girls reluctantly file inside.

Five minutes later, they walk out, with scowls on their faces. Again, their boyfriends whistle at them. Each girl was dressed in a skimpy outfit, similar to the one Jasmine wore in the old Disney movie, Aladdin. They wore a top that was just slightly more modest than a sports bra, with poofy parachute pants (which were actually capris) and flats. Courtney's outfit was gray, Gwen's was midnight blue, Bridgette's was turquoise, and Katie's was pink.

Courtney glares at Duncan, who was grinning, and she points a finger at him. "Not. One. Word," she growls. Duncan smirks.

(Author's Note: Ha-ha, thanks to BridgeXTrent for the idea of this new challenge. I'm going to have so much fun with it! Lol.)

"What is the point of this ridiculous outfit?" Gwen asks, pinching the flowy fabric of her parachute pants.

"The outfits are for our new challenge. Our 'Damsel in Distress' challenge," Chris explains, raising an eyebrow.

"And this includes making us dress like a tramp?" Courtney hisses, arms crossed. Chris tsks.

"Courtney, Courtney, Courtney. Your outfits are just to create the feeling of actually being a damsel in distress. Now, Chef will fly you girls to where you will be tied up, trapped, and basically put into danger. Thus, the distress part of the challenge. Your boyfriend will have to come rescue you. He will have a weapon given to him depending on the danger you're in. He'll know where you are by the map we give them. The journey takes a little less than a day to travel to where your damsel is trapped. And, guys, we will not start putting your damsel in distress until you're getting close to where she is," Chris explains. "Now, girls, head into the helicopter and Chef will fly you to your… destination."

However, the girls run to their boyfriends and jump into their arms. Trent catches Gwen and kisses her as she wraps her legs around his waist. Meanwhile, Geoff catches Bridgette with an arm under her knees and shoulders; she reaches up to kiss him, with her hands on his cheeks.

Duncan grabs Courtney's butt, and she wraps her legs around his waist. Courtney messes up his mohawk and kisses him. Noah holds Katie in his arms and kisses her.

Chef blasts the blow-horn, and the girls jump. They scramble towards Chef.

"I need that blow-horn," Duncan whispers, nudging Geoff, who chuckles. Chef flies off with the helicopter -- and their girlfriends.

"Here's your maps," Chris says, handing out rolled-up sheets of paper. Noah unrolls his map. The faces of their girlfriends were in different locations on it. A red "X" symbolizes where they were now.

"And now for your weapons," Chris says. Duncan got a huge silver sword, Trent got a bow and arrow, Noah got a grapple hook and rope, and Geoff got a harpoon. "Your weapon will give you a clue as to what kind of danger your damsel is in," Chris explains. "GO!"

The guys run off to save their girlfriends. However, eventually it got too dark to see anything so the boys had to make camp.


Duncan woke up in a tree with the sun shining in his eyes. "Aw, crap," he mumbles. He jumps from the tree and opens the map. The sun was practically in the middle of the sky. How could I have slept until noon?

Within about ten minutes, it was like he had stepped right into medieval times. In a corner was a wooden bridge across a canyon. A long dirt road led to a castle with a drawbridge. Old houses sat on both sides on the road. A well was in the middle of the road. In another corner was a huge lake, and to the far left was a steep cliff. Duncan checks the map. Courtney should be across the bridge.

So Duncan walks across the bridge. There was a tiny river all the way at the bottom. He crosses the rickety bridge and follows a path in the woods. Duncan sticks the map in his pocket and withdraws his sword from a belt loop in his pants.

He comes to another rope bridge. Although, this time, there was a castle on the other side. He crosses the bridge, and at the bottom of the canyon were just red rocks. Duncan runs across the drawbridge and into the castle. The first room was bare -- it just had hard, rock walls and a couple banners hanging from the walls. He opens a heavy wooden door and into another room. Duncan gasps. A huge creature thing was sleeping in the middle of the torch-lit room. It had cream-colored spikes on it's back, and it's skin was green and leathery-looking. Duncan tip-toes around the sleeping beast to a stone staircase.

He runs up the staircase to a wooden door. Duncan jiggles the knob. Locked. He bangs on the door.

"Courtney?" he shouts.

"Duncan?" he hears her call from within the room.

"Yeah, Princess, it's me. Can you open the door?" he asks.

"I can't!" she exclaims, "It's locked."

"Alright, well, watch out," Duncan calls. He raises the sword and whacks the doorknob with it. The doorknob snaps off, and dangles in the air. Duncan pushes the door, but it still won't budge. He backs up, runs at the door, and throws all his weight at it. The door shudders and Duncan tries again.

It bursts open with a loud CRACK and Duncan falls on the floor, inside the room. He picks himself up and looks for Courtney. The room was plush and exquisite, with huge curtains on the windows. Flowers in large pots and giant gold-trimmed treasure chests filled the corners. A red velvet bed with a canopy top sat in the middle of the room, surrounded by intricately woven rugs.

"Courtney?" Duncan calls.

"I'm up here!"

Duncan looks up. Courtney was trapped in a metal object resembling a bird cage. It was hanging from the ceiling. "There's a switch that'll bring me down over there," Courtney says, pointing to the stack of flower vases. Duncan walks over to the vases and starts unstacking them.

Eventually he found a red button. "That's it!" Courtney exclaims. "Press and hold it down. Don't just press it and let go, otherwise I'll free fall towards the ground." Duncan does as he's told, and Courtney's bird cage is slowly lowered from the ceiling on a silver metal chain. He finally lets go of the button when the cage hits the ground.

Duncan opens the cage door and Courtney hugs Duncan. "We have to get going fast, though," she warns, "Chef said the one canyon with the red rocks at the bottom would start filling up with lava, so we have to be quick."

"Alright, the monster was still asleep when I got here, so--" Duncan says, leading her down the stairs.

"Monster?" Courtney asks, freezing up.

"Uh, yeah. It's green. With spikes?" Duncan says, trying to remind Courtney.

"N-No, Chef never said anything about that!" Courtney exclaims.

"Oh well. Now, come on," Duncan says. He grabs her hand and they run down the stairs. Duncan peeks into the room. "Uh-oh. It's awake, and it's guarding the exit."

"There!" Courtney points to another staircase across the room. "I had to go to the restroom, and Chef let me go in there. There's a window in that room," she explains.

"Think we can make a run for it?" Duncan asks. Courtney bites her lip.

"We'll have to try," she says. Duncan squeezes her hand, and they sprint across the room. The monster roars, sending spit flying across the room, about the size of gold balls. "Eww!" Courtney squeals.

They're halfway across the room when Courtney screams. Her hand is torn from Duncan's. He spins around and finds Courtney 20 feet in the air. A metal pole had lifted part of the tile floor, and Courtney, up high.

"Duncan, run!" Courtney screams, pointing at the monster, who was running towards Duncan. Duncan runs towards the staircase, and dashes up the stairs. The stairs keep going up. He passes a wooden door that has 'Restroom' on it. When he finally gets to the top, there is a ledge that shows the room where the monster is. Duncan was just barely higher up than Courtney. He leans over the ledge and tears a banner off the wall. A plain rope is draped over hooks.

Duncan stands on the ledge, unhooks the rope, and grabs hold. He bends his knees, jumps, and swings on the rope towards Courtney.

"COURTNEY!" he yells. Simultaneously, as Duncan swings by, he wraps an arm around her waist and Courtney wraps her arms around his neck. She screams as they fly 20 feet above the ground, with the monster chasing them from below. They fly as far as they can, and the rope starts to float back. Duncan hops over the ledge back into the hallway.

"Let's get out of here," Duncan says, breathless. Courtney grabs his hand and the run down the stairs and into the restroom. Courtney rushes to the end of the bathroom and she throws open the window. She sits on the ledge and looks down. "…Oh."

"What?" Duncan asks.

"I never thought to look down. It's pretty, uh, far," she says. Duncan swings his legs over and sits next to Courtney.

"Then we'll scale the wall," he suggests. Courtney bugs her eyes.

"What?!" Duncan unties a banner on the outside wall. He unravels the rope and grabs Courtney around the waist. However, she pulls away.

"Duncan, what if we fall?" Courtney asks. Duncan rolls his eyes.

"You weren't quite worried about that when I swung like Tarzan and rescued you from that pillar," Duncan smirks.

"In case you didn't notice, I was screaming my head off," Courtney shot back. Duncan sighs and sympathetically put his arm around Courtney's waist -- or what she thought was a sign of sympathy.

But Duncan pushes them off the window ledge. Courtney screams as they dangle for a bit, and she tightly grips Duncan's chest. Duncan rights himself, and he slowly rappels down the side of the wall.

"Duncan, you're crazy!" Courtney scolds.

"No, I'm the hero, and you're the damsel in distress. So shut up," Duncan says, smiling. Courtney frowns as his arm holding the rope starts shuddering. "Courtney, can you hold on to me by yourself? My arm's getting tired."

So Courtney holds onto Duncan tighter as he lets go of her, so he can hold the rope with two hands. Courtney removes her hands so she can quickly fix her top, and Duncan's pants slide down. She screams, but his legs are bent, so she doesn't fall. She screams again when she finds his boxers in her face.

"DUNCAN!"

He chuckles. "Hey, Princess, just be happy I even kept my boxers up," he said, a hand holding his boxers up. "Scoot up so I can pull up my pants." Courtney, a deep blush reddening her face, scoots up so her legs and arms are wrapped around Duncan's midriff. He wiggles as he pulls his pants up. Duncan grins at Courtney, who scowls.

They finally land on the ground. "Come on," Duncan says, taking Courtney's hand and running. The get to the wooden bridge, and the lava is only 6 feet below the bridge. "Hurry!"

Halfway across the bridge, the heat from the lava makes the wood start to slightly bend when Duncan and Courtney step on it. Then one board snaps when Courtney places her foot on it. She stumbles, and falls through the hole. She screams, but Duncan grabs her wrist in time. Courtney's feet were dangling just a foot above the bubbling lava. He pulls her up, and they run to the other side.

They collapse under a tree, breathing hard, with Courtney clinging to Duncan. He grins.
