This was by far one of the weirdest ways to start his morning. Out of all people to approach him seeking advice he didn't think it would be Eva. True, there were multiple times the group had to go up and above to make sure the athlete didn't blow her temper, but when it came to those physical challenges every bit of muscle helped.
''As do many people. They usually send me emails, not kidnap me.'' Naruto knew that one day being a smart ass would come back to haunt him. Thing was that he did not feel like now was that time.
''Look will you just shut up and here me out.'' Eva was biting her tongue so to speak. ''I...need advice.'' A look made up of unease, embarrassment, and most likely anger formed on her face. ''On how to attract a guy.''
Naruto dimly looked at her. ''And you came to me?'' he slowly asked.
''Look, you're one of the few decent people around here and I thought I come to you...because you know.''
Naruto found himself quite confused. Eva was anything but indirect. It looked like she was seriously conflicted about things. "Why me out of all the other guys?"
"Between brainless beauty, crazy girl, surfer girl and miss b.i.t.c.h. you have a hell of a lovefest going on which tells me you're a likable guy. At least better than most of the other choices. Music man is too busy chasing gothy and pretty boy is so in love with himself I'm surprised he notices other people."
"I see, by the way I think you meant CIT earlier." Naruto corrected.
''I know what I said.'' Eva responded. ''Look, just because I'm an athlete doesn't make me stupid. Nearly everyone else might be blind, but with the way you sneak around or practically spend all the time with these girls I'm surprised everyone else hasn't picked up on your little harem."
Naruto let out a sigh of dismay. "First of all its not a Harem. Two I'm not even with any of them, we're just trying to see where things go okay." Her snort and expression were all that needed to inform him she didn't believe him one bit. Anyway, he began to wonder who Eva could possibly like considering her less than flattering opinion of most of the camp. With him out of the equation that left Geoff, Harold Dj, Duncan and Trent. The last was into Gwen and with Eva's observation powers that struck him off the list. In fact, the most obvious was DJ, the person that more often than not was dragged away with Eva against his will. 'I'm guessing DJ right? Well, that's not too difficult. You just got to be up front and honest but avoid being overbearing. He seems laid-back and sensitive, so you want to be a bit aggressive, but not too aggressive that you come off as overbearing or emasculating. Just follow my advice and things will work out in the end."
''Tell anyone about this...'' She added.
''I know I know. I'll kill you, orphan your children, and your wife will die of grief. I gotcha.'' Naruto responded. ''Now let's get back to camp. I want that last bit of sleep before...'' the sound of a plane going overhead, and Chris's voice killed any hope of that. ''Oh god damnit!''
Chris smiled excitedly as he flew the helicopter over camp, humming quietly over the noise of the propeller.
Duncan, however, was not a happy camper. He jumped out of his bunk. "Hit the deck! They're coming man!" He cried, jumping under the bed.
DJ and Geoff just shrugged. It wasn't the first time Duncan had woken up screaming, and probably wouldn't be the last either.
The propeller's noise caused Leshawna to hit her head against the bunk above her when she woke up suddenly. "Ya'll better be joking! This ain't funny, Chris!"
"Whatever." Heather yawned. "It's better that that stupid megaphone. Lindsay, warm up the shower for me, please? And-"
"-not too hot this time, I know." Lindsay sighed, making her way out the door.
Sometime later the girls groaned as they waited for Heather to get out of the bathroom. "Seriously, how long has she been in there?" Bridgette asked.
Gwen sighed. "Oh, forget it. Might as well go in the woods."
"Oh campers!" Chris's voice boomed out of the speakers. "I hope you're ready for the most challenging challenge yet? Meet me at the bonfire for brekkie in three. Minutes, that is, so hurry!"
Naruto was the first to arrive at the destination. Whatever the challenge was he was hoping it was something that would allow him to blow off some steam. The first person to arrive was none other than Bridgette who looked to be in a sour mood. ''Morning.''
''Yeah morning.'' she groggily replied.
''Who and what screwed up the start of your morning?'' the blond asked as Bridgette plopped down next to him.
''It was that Heather girl. She hogged the bathroom the entire morning and the worst part is by the time I finally got to use the shower all the hot water is gone. Now I'm used to the cold water, don't get me wrong but there are certain times hot water is mandatory. Like first thing in the morning.''
''Sounds like K. Except cold water I met hot-sauce.'' he replied as Bridgette raised an eyebrow in confusion.
''I'm not even going to ask.''
''Its best you don't.'' he said as he reached out and grasped her hand. ''Or I can warm you up?'' he said as a smile formed on Bridgette's face.
''Well look who's being bold all of a sudden. Where did this come from?''
''Oh, it's always been there, I just tend to keep the playfulness down unless I'm sure the feelings are mutual or unless I'm feeling particularly frisky.'' he said as he leaned over only for Bridgette's finger to pause his movement. ''Hey what gives?'' he asked against her finger.
''I don't let guys kiss until after the first date.'' she explained as he raised an eyebrow.
''What do you call the other day missy?'' he asked as he pulled back.
''I was the one kissing so as you can see the situation was completely different.'' she explained with a mischievous grin.
''Curses! Foiled by exact words.'' he remarked. The campers began showing up one by one for the challenge. After everyone had gathered Chris showed up.
''Are you ready," Chris began, "for today's max-impact challenge?"
''Do we have much of a choice?''
"Incoming!" Chris cried out randomly, sending a can flying at Gwen's face, which Trent just barely managed to catch in time.
"This is breakfast." Chris said, tossing cans of beans to the campers.
"Um, no..." Heather scoffed, "breakfast is crepes, croissant, even Chef's crappy burned eggs.''
Chris continued, completely ignoring Heather. "Today is a survival challenge. We're going hunting!" He said, springing out a paintball gun. For a moment distress formed on Bridgette's face. She was an animal lover, and she couldn't stomach killing them, even if that meant losing the challenge and possibly being voted off.
Duncan smirked. "Now that's more like it!"
"Isn't that a model X345 paintball gun?" Harold asked Chris.
"Why yes Harold. It is.'' he said as he promptly shot said boy causing him to fall back with a thug.
Bridgette frowned. "So, we won't be killing anything?''
''Negatori.'' he answered as the surfer girl relaxed. ''This is the first ever paintball dear hunt!''
''BOO! Don't reuse challenges you cheap bastard!" Naruto booed as he dove out of the way only for a recovered Harold to get hit and go down again. ''I'll announce the teams once we get into the woods.''
"Nothing will be killed during this challenge." Chris assured. "I hope." He muttered, just loudly enough for Bridgette to hear, so she would freak out a little. "This is the first ever televised reality show paintball shoot-a-thon! I'll assign roles in a minute after we get to the woods. So... finish brekkie!"
A half an hour later the campers came together in front of a stand with seven paintball guns.
"And now for the team breakdowns. Foxes, you Harold, Geoff and Bridgette!" He threw them their guns. ''Locked and loaded with orange fox paint. And using Red paint are the Gopher hunters will be Leshawna, Beth,, and Eva!" Chris exclaimed, handing out the last set of guns. "You also get these styling glasses and wicked gear.'' He said, handing out visors and camo caps.
Eva inhaled, a look of rapture spreading across her face. ''Nothing like trailing after prey and gunning it down.'
''The rest of you are dear. Here are your antlers, a cute little nose and a fluffy tail!"
"Yeah right. I am not wearing that.'' Heather refused.
Duncan growled. "There is no way I'm a dear...'' He was interrupted when Chris slipped the costume on him.
''Take these off and your team is toast.''
''I swear to God Chris. Fucking bow and arrow and your knee!'' Naruto threatened. At the very least they got a head start.
''At least we get a head start!" Courtney said.
''So much for mini-challenges and all the rest of that crap. Something isn't right, I can feel it. My damn brother is just going to pop out of nowhere or they're going to change the rules again for a ratings stunt.''
"I don't know about yall," DJ began," but I'm outta here." He said, crouching down and running off like a deer.
The other Foxes stared at him in disbelief. "What the hell did I just see?'' Naruto asked.
"Start your paintballs! Game on!"
''So a raise of hands. Who wants to help me get payback on Chris when this challenge is over?'' Naruto didn't even have to ask. A show of hands was unanimous.
The Gophers were less united. Heather mainly going with the idea of relying on Lindsay and Beth to protect her while the others wandered aimlessly.
Now with the hunters. And Break!" Harold cried, breaking up the huddle.
Bridgette looked sadly at her gun. "Look," Harold sighed, "it's just a paintball gun. You do realize this is all just pretend right. So say, that you hit Heather.''
''Wait,'' Bridgette interrupted him, causing her to perk up. ''Heather's a dear?'' she chuckled as she got into gear and put on her glasses. She didn't need to hear anything else.
''Go get me some chips Lindsay. Wash my back Lindsay. Stop borrowing my shirt and stretching out the front.'' the normally nice blonde grumbled as she did an imitation of Heather's voice. Even the nicest and most docile of people could reach their limit of patience. She paused, trying to think about what she was doing. ''What was I supposed to be doing again?'' she asked out loud.
''Some about chips?'' a voice suggested, startling her.
''Whoa calm down Linds.'' Naruto replied as he ducked under the scope of her gun.
''Naruto!'' she breathed in relief. ''You scared me silly.''
''Sorry, my team and I thought it was a good idea we split up, and nothing says we can't hide in camp. Heather giving you a hard time?'' he asked as Lindsay nodded and went and set on the steps. ''She's sooooooo bossy. I tried doing whatever she tells me, but do I ever get a thank you or a good job Lindsay. Noooo, I just get told to hurry up. My mom tells me when you do a good job people are supposed to be nice and courteous. Then again that was probably why she didn't let me go with all those people who offered me rides and stuff.''
Naruto shook his head. ''Don't let her get you down, kay?'' he said as he pats her back. ''So... you're not going to you know. I'm a deer and you're a hunter.''
''Well, I don't like hurting animals and since you're a deer I could NEVER shoot you. Some run home little dear, back to your family.'' the smile on Lindsay's face was rather contagious. He hated to think that such a sweet girl was being used by Heather. He was going to talk to the others about inducting Lindsay into their alliance.
Speaking of alliances. ''Hey, come back here!" Heather yelled after Beth. After berating the girl, who risked her life stealing a bag of Bar-Bue-Cue Chips (Heather wanted dill pickle flavored) and ordering her to get another one Beth refused and decided on focusing on the competition. Heather's shouts though gave away her location to the Foxes, Bridgette in particular who promptly shot her. "Ow! Whoever you are this is so not cool!"
Harold and Bridgette hi-fived.
'There you are!'' Courtney stated, finally finding Naruto after wondering around aimlessly for hours. ''I'm going back. This stupid game has to be over by now.''
''Come on Courtney lighten up,'' Naruto replied as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. ''This has been one relaxing breeze. The other team is in-fighting and we didn't have to life a finger.'' he said, going on to explain the sight he saw of Heather getting into a paintball fight with Leshawna and Beth. ''Apparently we weren't the only alliance in this little game, thought it looks like bonds have strained.''
''Well of course they're fighting. Without a strong moral center such as myself...'' Courtney began as Naruto cleared his throat.''What?'' she asked as he gave her a look 'you really don't know'. ''I'm just saying.''
''Tone it down a notch.'' he said as she growled.
''Number thirty-seven.''
''Number what now?'' he asked as she brought out a folded list from her pocket.
''Dadada...list of things...dadada...changes...perfect boyfriend list? You're joking right?'' the blond skeptically asked.
''Well if you agree to enter a relationship with me then you...HEY!'' she replied as he glanced over the list before tossing it. She hastily went over and picked it up. ''You agreed that you were going to look over any and all list of demands with a stern gaze. After all, not to many girls would agree to this little arrangement I'm part of.''
''And I did, didn't say what level of sternness. Seriously though, once you lighten up, I might consider give it another look.'' he said with a shrug of soldiers.
''Y-You're treating this as a joke.''
''But I like the jokes, no?'' he playfully prodded, though unfortunately Courtney was taking his behavior in the room direction.
''Why does this always happen?'' she let out a huff of outrage. ''Is it too much to ask for a little effort?''
''Well with the way you go about it, you make it hard for most people to be around.'' he answered, immediately regretted his words. Sometimes bits of his old self shined through, and he spoke without thinking.
Recoiling back at the proclamation, hurt filled Courtney's eyes as she looked away. ''Am I really that unappealing? Is my manner that abrasive? I just want someone to accept me for who I am. I just want that perfect guy who'll...'' Courtney was cut off as Naruto pulled her into a gentle embrace.
''You don't have to fight to be strong Courtney. Its okay to be weak sometimes, that's why you have people to support you. People who accept those weaknesses and fill in the gaps with their own strength. If you ever have a hole you feel that's empty let me fill it. No matter what you'll always be the smart, confident, sexy, feisty, and independent CIT who lets everyone know what's on her mind. Okay?'' he asked as Courtney nodded, burying her face into his neck.
''How is a guy as sweet as you still single?''
''Mainly being clueless to all the signs and girls having feelings for me until recently. From what I've been told I'm the guy who people rant and face palm about because of his level of cluelessness. Sucks but hey, unlike the other poor bastards I finally learned my lesson. Now come on, let's go cheer on some teammates in kicking some Gopher ass.'' he said as Izzy randomly pranced by, acting like a deer as she began gnawing on some leaves before going back to doing whatever she was doing. ''Okay seriously, there is no way on earth she does not have medication she should be taking.'' he said as he tried to pull away only to jerk Courtney with him.
''Hey becareful.'' she cautioned. She tried to pull back only for her to jerk him forward.
''Looks like we're tangled up.'' he said as their antlers were ensnared. Problem is if they removed the hats the foxes would face disqualification. ''Hold on, let me try something.'' he said as he moved closer, their bodies were practically rubbing against each other as he began slowly trying to untangle them. ''How on earth did this even happen?''
"This is really fun!" Bridgette called out to Geoff and Harold, as they had found the quarreling Gopher girls and were pelting them with paintballs.
The speaker screeched. "Attention human wildlife and Hunters! Please return to camp. It's time to show your hides and tally up the score!''
All the campers returned to the camp. Between the fact that only one of the Foxes, that being Duncan had been covered in paint. (DJ begin mysteriously untouched), and with Izzy being just crazy awesome hard to hit and the lack of teamwork among the Gophers making them an easy target it was pretty obvious who lost the challenge. With Cody being mauled by a bear and all (darn those accursed chips) he was the next one voted off the island.
''Almost lost you their kid!'' Cody came too, gasping for air as the last of the water in his lungs had been drawn out. ''Seriously, what the hell is going on over there? Did they really leave you, someone in a full body cast on his own at the dock? You almost died for heaven's sake.'' Kuiinshi noted with a shake of his head. ''You're lucky that one of the interns I threw...nevermind.'' K hastily changed the subject.
''W-Where am I?'' Cody managed to ask in a raspy voice.
''Playa Des Losers. I'll have Tyler and Sadie help settle you in. As for me, its time I return to the island. Those many challenges aren't going to take care of themselves.'' the man remarked as he picked up the dufflebag and left Cody in the hands of the very capable nursing staff.

I'm thinking about creating a paattreeon and wondering would any of you be interesting in supporting. Now I will still post all chapters and works for free on the site, but on you'll get to see the chapters early, get shoutouts, have input and be able to give suggestions on the way the story is going and even be able to fund art covers and stuff for the stories. Let me know how you think and feel about the idea.
