"Let's get the ground rules for this challenge down, alright?" Chris grins. "Today's challenge is three-fold. Your first task is to jump off the 1000 foot high cliff, into the lake."

"Piece of cake!" Bridgette says with confidence.

"The fuck kinda cake you eating?!" Heather buds in.

"If you look down," Chris continues. "You will see 2 target areas. The wider area represents the part of the lake that we have stocked with psychotic... man-eating sharks! Inside that area is a safe zone. That's your target area, which, we're pretty sure is shark free."

"Excuse me?" Leshawna says, raising her eyebrows.

"For each member of your team that jumps and actually survives, there will be a crate of supplies waiting below. Inside each crate are supplies that you'll need for the second part of the challenge... Building a hot tub! The team with the best one gets to have a wicked hot-tub party tonight! The losers will be sending someone home."

"You think I can fake my death, and sue the show so I don't have to kill myself for a hot tub?" I whisper to Gwen.

"Can't sue the show if you're dead." She chuckles.

"Killer Bass!" Chris announces. "You're up first."

"Oh, wow." Bridgette says looking over the cliff and down at the water. "So, who wants to go first?"

Complete silence. "Hey, don't sweat it guys." Owen says breaking the tension. "I heard that these shows always make the interns do the stunt first to make sure it's survivable."

"So, who's up?" Eva chimes in.

"Ladies first." Duncan says, looking at Bridgette.

"Fine, I'll go..." She says hesitantly. "It's no big deal, just an insane cliff dive into a circle of angry sharks." She doesn't even finish her sentence before she jumps off.

It's silent as she hits the water, and everyone waits for her to come back up. She finally pops up with a big splash. She waves the boat over to come get her before the sharks can.

"She did it!" Tyler cheers. "Yeah! I'm next." He backs up a few steps, then runs towards the edge and jumps. "COWABUNGA!" He yells as he falls towards the water, but instead of a water splash, you hear the sound of Tyler's dumbass hitting one of the metal buoys.

You watch in fear as Geoff, then Eva, jump off the edge. "You're next, princess." Duncan says nudging you.

"Hell no!" You stay stepping away from the edge. "I'm not risking my life for a hot tub, plus if I hit my shin one more time, this bruise is going to turn out bigger than your ego."

"Well I'm not letting you lose the challenge for us," Duncan says as the smile drops from his face. "So you jump, or you're goin home."

"Then send me home." You say looking him dead in the eye.

Duncan stands there for a second just looking at you, but you refuse to take your gaze off him. After a couple more seconds he rolls his eyes. "God you're annoying." He says grabbing your wrist and heading towards the edge.

"What the fuck are you doing?!" You yell trying to stay in the same spot.

"If you won't go down by yourself," He says with one tug, throwing you towards him. "Then I'll just take you down with me." He says jumping off the edge with your wrist in a firm grip.

As you fall off the edge, you scrape your shin, hard, in the same spot Gwen nailed you. It hurts like hell, but you can't manage to say anything because you realize you're falling from 1000 feet in the air, so all you can do is scream. Before you fall too far down, you manage to wrap the arm the Duncan doesn't have in his hand, around his waist and you pull yourself closer hoping that you won't die in the water just a few hundred feet under you. You stop yourself from screaming for long enough to realize that Duncan's heart is beating much faster, now that you're squeezing him tightly.
