Chapter Two

Day 1

7:34am

All was quiet in the Big Brother house. Despite Big Brother's initial warning to get some sleep, some of the housemates continued talking well into the early hours of the morning. What the housemates did not expect is that Big Brother has formulated different ways of waking them up every morning for the duration of their stay.

The blissful, serene environment that was the bedroom suddenly turned into what seemed like a live concert. Over the speakers, screaming vocalists and metal music could be heard followed by a deafening cheer from a disembodied crowd. This undoubtedly made the housemates stir; some of them were not pleased. After the noise dissipated the lights in the bedroom switched on by themselves.

'This is Big Brother.' A course voice could be heard over the speakers. 'Good morning, housemates.'

'Ugh!' Kazu exclaimed, clearly not wanting to get up.

'Oh crap. It's morning already?' Edward moaned.

'Good morning, Big Brother!' Rena replied to their announcer in a strangely chirpy mood.

'This mornings wake-up call is in lieu of your first task in the house. Big Brother will inform you on the details at a later time. That is all.'

'I love how big brother refers to himself in third person.' Will observed.

Many of the housemates get out of bed and migrate to the kitchen on the other side of the house. The kitchen is in an area located separate from the rest of the inside areas of the house. Due to this the housemates must access the kitchen by walking through the backyard. As the housemates found out last night, another reason why it is separated from the rest of the house is due to its architectural structure; it has a fifties theme as opposed to the rest of the house which is post-modern.

8:08am

Edward, Jess, Meryl, Misty, Soul and Will are the only housemates to stay in the bedroom, not as willing to start their day as the rest. Last night, the girls made a plan to follow an allocated male housemate all day as part of their secret task. Jess, Meryl and Misty were as good as their word.

'So I'm guessing that it's before nine o'clock?' Soul asked, knowing that there were no clocks allowed in the house. 'I guess I shouldn't have stayed up last night.'

'It seems like it.' Misty agrees. 'But I think I went to sleep earlier than you guys did.'

'Not being able to tell the time annoys me.' Meryl posits. 'I don't know if I should be having breakfast or my walk or whatever else.'

'You could always say you're on holiday or something. Why is that so important anyway?' Soul asks.

'Well, I'm thirty.' Meryl started. 'I need to keep up my fitness so I can keep up with the rest of you young people.'

'Oh!' Soul quips with a slight hint of sarcasm.

'Thirty?' Will states then pauses. 'I don't think thirty is that old.'

'Yeah.' Edward agreed. 'Age is just a number. It should be all about your vitality.'

'Haha, that's such a male thing to say.' Jess replied in jest.

'Well not really.' Edward defended. 'You could be eighty years old and still be fit as a fiddle.'

'Yeah, that's still a real male thing to say.' Jess stirs, plastering a grin on her face.

'I'm with Jess on this one.' Meryl stated. 'At least you won't have to worry about getting fat.'

'Huh!' Edward perks up. 'What's that supposed to mean?'

'Well look at yourself.' Meryl points. 'You're –'

'Short?'

'No, you're – '

'Tiny?'

'Cute!' Meryl yelled, tired of being interrupted. 'You're cute!'

'… Right.' Edward motioned uncomfortably.

'How did a conversation about breakfast become a conversation about being short?' Misty enquired.

'Oh so I AM short!?' Edward huffed as he stormed out of the room.

There was an awkward silence in the bedroom after Edward left. Meryl had no idea if she had said something wrong and Misty was completely perplexed. Meryl went after Edward in an attempt to apologise to him, leaving the remaining four in an awkward position.

'I guess that somebody is a little self-conscious.' Will broke the silence.

'Ha!' Soul laughed. 'I see what you did there.'

'Will's right.' Jess said whilst gazing at Misty and giving her a wink. 'He is pretty self-conscious isn't he?'

8:33am

Most of the housemates had come and gone from the kitchen. The housemates remaining, Kazu and Rena, are attempting to make bread for the lunch break in the middle of the day. It is a requirement in the Big Brother house to make bread every morning before the hot water is turned on. Only then will the housemates be able to have a proper shower.

'How long has the oven been pre-heated for now?' Rena asked.

'I don't know.' Kazu answered, looking over the oven. 'There doesn't seem to be a timer on this thing.'

'Well time is supposed to be an anomaly in the house. That's why we weren't allowed to bring in watches or clocks.'

'This is true.' Kazu agrees. 'But that makes baking and cooking so damn hard.'

'You don't often cook, do you?'

'Not really no. I'm not as good at it as I should be.'

'Well,' Rena said with an innocent grin. 'Maybe I could teach you.'

Kazu smiled and look over to Rena. 'I'd like that. We should stick the dough in and see what happens.'

Meanwhile, Meryl catches up with Edward beside the pool and discusses with him about this morning's altercation.

'So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry if I said something to offend you.' Meryl dipped her head at him. 'I guess it's not a compliment for a man to be called cute.'

'It depends on the person.' Edward agreed. 'I probably shouldn't have stormed off like that.'

'Have you had any breakfast yet?' Meryl asked. 'I can fix you a bowl of cereal if you'd like.'

'Uh, thanks but I actually prefer toast.' Edward admitted, he then proceeded to tell Meryl his dislike for milk.

9:17am

After a brief chat with some of the other housemates, Shinji goes to the Diary Room and has a talk with Big Brother. Out of all the other housemates, he feels as though he is on the outer and doesn't feel like he can relate to the rest of the house.

'Shinji. Good morning.' Big Brother greets him.

'Good morning, Big Brother.' Shinji replies.

'How are you finding the house so far?'

'I don't know.' Shinji admits. 'It's a pretty weird feeling being away from my usual life.'

'Is there a reason you have come to see me this morning?'

'Not really. I just wanted to talk to somebody else. I can tell that some people in the house have formed some friendships, but it's still early days.'

'That it is, Shinji. That it is. Are there any groups in particular that really stand out?'

'Well Tea and Tohru… I don't know how to explain it but they act as though they already know each other very well. Another thing I'm seeing is that Tea is trying to reach out to Vegeta.'

'What do you think of that?'

'Well, Vegeta seems the very solitary type of guy; he hasn't even spoken to me yet. We were in the green room for all that time and he didn't say a word. I can understand that Tea is trying to include him but I think he may brush her off, despite her good intentions.'

'Do you think that Vegeta may hurt Tea?'

'I maintain that it's early days, but maybe. I still don't understand why anyone would reach out to Vegeta.'

'I see, and how you think you fit into the dynamics of the house?'

'Hmm, well I haven't made any solid connections yet. Some of the girls are very nice, especially Hinata. She always wants to talk to me and tries her hardest to get to know me.'

'Do you think that's a good thing or a bad thing?'

'Definitely a good thing.' Shinji answered.

'Have you found out much about her?'

'Only that she has a love interest outside the house. But something tells me that it's very one-sided. I think that maybe I should be the one asking questions more.'

'Sounds like a good way to get to know someone.' Big Brother concludes. 'That is all.'

Shinji hops off the chair and out of the Diary Room in order to find Hinata who is currently taking a dip in the pool with Misty.

10:00am

'This is Big Brother. Housemates, the hot water is now on. You have half an hour.'

'Half an hour!?' Tea yelled. 'How are all of us supposed to have a shower in half an hour?'

'Have you seen the showers, Tea?' Edward asked. 'There are three showers that have been amalgamated.'

'You mean we have to shower with other people?' Meryl enquired. 'That's disgusting.'

'While you guys argue about the shower arrangements I'm just going to go ahead and have my turn.' Jess said, going to the bedroom to get her towel.

'I'm coming too.' Rena replied and went after her.

Meryl, one of the housemates who is used to living alone and isn't inclined to sharing amenities in such close quarters, goes to the Diary Room to debate with Big Brother to extend their shower time.

'Well that two showers taken.' Misty explains. 'What do you guys think?'

'Ladies first.' Will replied nonchalantly, not bothering to get up from the sunbed he just parked himself on.

Misty goes and joins Jess and Rena in the showers. The bathroom is a large room in the house that separates the living room from the bedroom. Just like the rest of the house, the walls are lined by one-way mirrors, one of which is also lined with sinks and lockers for the housemates' toiletries. As discussed, the shower area is a large portion of the room which has three showers joined together. In many ways this is Big Brothers way of giving the housemates the chance to get to know each other, in more ways than one.

'I think it goes without saying.' Misty started. 'But half an hour is going to make it difficult for all the housemates to shower properly.'

'True.' Jess agreed. 'But after a couple of weeks it will be easier.'

'Because we'll get used to it?' Rena predicted.

'That, and some people will be gone after a couple of weeks. Meaning more shower time for us.' Jess grinned.

After Jess, Misty and Rena finished their turn. Hinata, Tea and Tohru followed; the guys were in agreement that ladies should go first. This of course did not stop the guys from going through the bathroom, using the excuse that they needed to get to the bedroom and living room. Kazu, Mitskuni and Shinji saw this as a golden opportunity to have a look at the talent in the house.

Still very aware that they were being filmed, all the girls opted to wear their bathing suits in the shower. This further came into light after Tohru mentioned that she used to walk through the forest to get home quicker, meaning she was taking the risk of being a victim of perverts. Hinata spent a little extra time in the shower in order to get the chlorine out of her hair so she was later joined by Meryl.

'That chat with Big Brother turned out to be fruitless.' Meryl muttered to Hinata as she turned on her shower head.

'So he said no to extending the shower time?'

'He said "Big Brother will get back to you." I don't think anything is going to change.'

'I did overhear Jess saying that it won't matter soon since some of us won't be here anymore.'

'That is true.' Meryl agreed. 'But she doesn't have to say it like that. I can't believe how socially inept some of the people in the house are.'

'What do you mean?' Hinata enquired.

'Edward went off at me because I called him cute, Vegeta seems to have zero people skills and Jess says something so negative on our first day in here.'

Meanwhile in the back yard, Jess, Misty Rena, Tea and Tohru are resting on the sunbeds, all of them focussed on one thing in particular, Vegeta. He had taken the space between the entrance to the main house and the pool to do some training. Since there were no weights available for use, he opted to doing some stretches before practicing some offensive manoeuvres. To top it all off, Vegeta was topless. All the girls were watching him intently, some of them looking in awe while others just silently enjoyed the view.

'He's pretty skilled isn't he?' Tea said.

'Yeah.' Rena and Misty chime in unison.

'It's almost a pity that he has a personality of a wet paper bag.' Jess observes.

'Maybe he's just shy.' Tea said in his defence.

'Maybe he's just an ass.' Jess retaliates.

'That's not very nice.' Tohru started.

'He could just be an unsociable type. Hey may be different from the other guys after all.' Misty added.

'Alright then, let me ask you all something. Are you defending him because you think what I'm saying is wrong or are you defending him because he's hot?'

Some of the girls said nothing and others just uttered total nonsense. Tea was the only one with a proper response; saying that there may be more to Vegeta than he is letting on.

'I'm not going to deny that he is attractive. But just because somebody is attractive is no reason to like them.' Jess concluded as she got up and headed toward the living room.

Vegeta continued training, not noticing that he was literally the hot topic of conversation. Since Big Brother neutralised the housemates powers upon entering the house, Vegeta has lost the ability to sense power levels amongst other attributes. Completely unperturbed by his surroundings, he continued his array of attacks. As Jess was just about to pass to enter the main house, Vegeta nearly collects her with a roundhouse kick. Much to everybody's amazement, Jess lifts her arm just in time for a decisive block. Some of the girls gasped, Tea nearly leaping up to diffuse the upcoming situation.

'Good shot.' Jess said. 'You almost got me there.'

Jess continued to the living room, otherwise unfazed by the incident. Vegeta stood there, completely stunned because not only did he not see her coming, Jess was able to block his kick with ease. He turned around and noticed that all the girls were watching them.

'What are all of you looking at?!' He yelled.

'Uh! Nothing.' Rena chirped nervously.

'We're just enjoying the show.' Misty mused.

'Hmmph.' Vegeta grunted as he briskly entered the main house, as though in pursuit.

In the living room, Edward, Soul and Will were getting ready to take their shower as Kazu, Mitskuni and Shinji are the first of the guys to take over the bathroom. They watched as Jess rushed past them with Vegeta following almost immediately after.

'I wonder what their deal is.' Soul said.

'This is Big Brother, the hot water has been switched off. That is all.'

'Wait a minute!' Edward yelled.

'Ugh.' Will grunted. 'Anyone up for a cold shower?'

Shinji and Kazu walk into the living room, half-dressed and drying their hair with some towels. Edward and Soul glare at them as they walk in.

'You took too long in the shower.' Edward growls.

11:43am

'This is Big Brother. All housemates to the lounge.'

Throughout their stay in the Big Brother house, Big Brother will assign the housemates with special tasks. Some of them involve winning a generous food budget for the week and some tasks involve some extra rewards. All the housemates migrate to the lounge to hear the announcement.

'Mitskuni, there is an envelope on the coffee table. Please read the contents to the rest of the housemates.' Big Brother commands.

'Is there a letter opener?' Mitskuni said as he picked the envelope off the table. Rather than waiting for an answer he tears into it like a child who has just been given a wrapped birthday gift. The rest of the housemates wait expectantly for the contents.

'Housemates, it is time for your first whole-house task. The theme for this task is rock until you drop. Throughout the next two days, Big Brother will play rock music over the speakers. When the music starts playing the housemates have ninety seconds to get to the dancefloor, dress up and "shake their tail feathers." Passing this task will result in a generous food budget, but if you fail this task you will get nothing.'

No sooner did Mitskuni finish reading the letter, speakers around the house started blaring with rock music. Some of the housemates jumped up immediately in order to find the dancefloor as Big Brother did not inform them where it was.

'Shit, shit, where is it?' Edward yelled frantically.

'Don't worry.' Mitsy said. 'We'll find it.'

'It's this way.' Tea called out to everybody.

All the housemates report to the back yard, finding out the dancefloor was located where the sunbeds used to be. In a corner against the wall, a large trunk was sitting. Tea and Kazu get there first and open the trunk. They found an assortment of wigs, jackets, trousers, and many other accessories. While some of the girls tried to go over the top with their costumes, most of the guys were very simplistic in what they chose. They all proceeded to dance around the dancefloor. Some of them were acting like total lunatics and some weren't acting all that enthusiastic at all.

1:55pm

Since the implementation of the 'Rock till you drop task,' the housemates have had to drop everything they were doing to go and dance for their food budget… six times.

'The next I get interrupted by that damn music I'm going to go and yell at him.' Tea informed those in earshot.

Tea was milling about the kitchen with Hinata, Meryl Rena and Tohru who were once again attempting to finish their lunch.

'I tried that before when we were given half an hour to shower. It doesn't work.' Meryl replied, sipping on a glass of orange juice.

'I think this task been quite fun actually.' Tohru said. 'It's giving some of the other quieter housemates the motivation to something they wouldn't do.'

'I know what you mean.' Hinata replied. 'I'm don't normally dress up in costumes and jump around like that. It's not that bad.'

'I've already lost track of how many times we've danced. I get the feeling that this is going to happen during all hours of the day.' Meryl predicts.

'Even when we're asleep?' Rena asks.

'Probably. In which case I hope all of you guys are light sleepers.'

In the bedroom, Jess falls back onto her bed and stares at the ceiling above her. She is feeling pretty pissed off about the task but doesn't want to admit it just yet. She is joined by Kazu, Soul and Edward who are sitting in the middle of the room. Vegeta, instead of being up against a wall, has decided to sit at the foot of Jess' bed.

One of the males in the house holds the secret 'I have the IQ of a genius.' It is the girls' job to ensure they know which secret belongs to which male housemate before tomorrow evening. Jess took this as an opportunity to get to know the guys.

'This is completely off-topic but how did you guys do in school?' She asked.

'School?' Vegeta asked.

'School.' Kazu stated. 'That boring place we had to go to six hours a day to learn about shit.'

'I know what it is, you dolt.' Vegeta retorted snidely. 'To be honest I never had much of an interest in it. I felt that I knew everything I needed to in order to get through.'

'Fair enough.' Jess said. 'At least you didn't have to go to university for four years. Four years was enough but I know I'll probably need to do more.'

'I went to an academy. At the time I started there I was the youngest person to ever enrol.' Edward explained.

'Hey, I went to an academy too.' Soul added. 'But it wasn't as academically focussed. But I did major in human biology and humanities. Aside from that I wouldn't say I did well. I was in the 'I'm too cool' phase most of the time.'

'Interesting.' Jess sighed. 'I can't believe how different all the housemates backgrounds are just from talking about education.'

4:37pm

It has been almost five hours since the 'Rock till you drop' task commenced and already the momentum between the occurrences of music has dropped. Since lunch time, the music has only played another seven times. For the first time today, the girls have been called to the pink room so they can discuss the male housemates' secrets. While they did so, all the guys were sitting around in the living room, some of them expecting the music play over the speakers at any time.

'That's it!' Shinji broke the silence, causing some of the guys to jump. 'This task is starting to piss me off!'

'Starting to?' Vegeta questioned.

'Look, dude. You need to keep your cool. Just because the task is unpredictable is no reason to freak out on us.' Soul reasoned.

'But I don't wanna do it anymore.' Shinji whined. 'I hate having to do things at a seconds notice.'

'Well the choices are we do it, pass the task and get our food… or…' Mitsukuni explained.

'Or we basically starve.' Vegeta finishes. 'And if I have to go without food because of someone else's misgivings I will make sure that they starve first.'

At this point Vegeta was glaring at Shinji almost menacingly, which caused Shinji to cower and mutter something which sounded like 'mimblewimble.'

'I'm very sure that Big Brother won't allow us to starve… unless of course he thinks that people eating each other makes good entertainment.' Will explains. 'But I'm with Vegeta on this one. Food is simply too motivating.'

'Yes, and I happen to like eating food very much.' Vegeta adds. 'I don't like this task either, but if I don't have proper food then I get really pissed off.'

'Wait.' Edward looks somewhat confused. 'You're not already pissed off?'

'I know I have to do the task. But I don't like that the timing can be unpredictable.' Shinji explained himself. 'I'm only doing the task because I have to… but it has its limitations.'

'Shinji, what are you talking about?' Kazu asks. 'This task is piss easy.'

'Well… I—'

'Yes?' Kazu continued to enquire.

'I need to go to the bathroom!' Shinji yells, tears nearly forming in his eyes.

Everybody in the living room anime falls upon hearing Shinji's plea.

'Then go to the bathroom!' Mitskuni replies, trying to force down laughter.

By this point Kazu, Soul and Edward cannot stop laughing. Shinji, blushing a blazing shade of red was nearly on the verge of tears again as Vegeta sighs heavily and refuses to take further part in the conversation by walking away. Will, somewhat able to keep his composure, gives Shinji his next instruction.

'Go to the bathroom.'

'But what if the music—'

'The chances of the music starting while you're taking a dump are astronomical at best.'

'Yeah.' Edward says between laughter. 'If you don't shit, you die.'

After much deliberation, Shinji finally runs off to the bathroom. Will crumples back onto the sofa he was on earlier and exhales heavily.

'Well that was entertaining.' Mitskuni muses. 'But I'm glad that he's motivated. If we don't pass the task then we can't get cake.'

Kazu stops to think for a second. 'Somehow I can see that logic.'

'Just a thought…' Will started.

'Hmm?' Soul grunted, he had finally recollected himself and took his place on the couch.

'Wouldn't it be so bad if the music did go off right now?'

'I don't think Big Brother could be that mean.' Mitskuni predicted. 'Surely there's—'

Mitskuni is interrupted by another round of very loud music blaring over the speakers. The girls return from the pink room to take part and the living room was filled with gales of laughter. Despite all the noise, the housemates could still hear a familiar voice screaming 'FUUUUUUUUUCK' in the distance.

Oh dear, poor Shinji. Well soon the task is going to be the least of the guys' worries when they find out about the girls secret task. Will the girls be successful in their task or will they all be facing the eviction chopping block first? All will be revealed as Big Brother continues.
