TDWT: Miranda's Way (Episode 16: Picnic At Hanging Dork)

Miranda's POV:

I'm really getting tired of Loser Class.

It's too dark and dreary. I miss the foot massages the flight attendants give me in First Class. I need my nails done again.

But, I guess I'm stuck with the conditions I have. Thank God for a little invention called earbuds.

My music was up on full blast today because it was one of those days where I was indifferent on what everyone was saying.

Ale was pacing around the room while Duncan and Owen sat watching him.

I sat across from them, typing a post on Tumblr and listening to Taylor Swift.

It seemed like a pretty chill day.

Alejandro's POV:

I can't stand Loser Class.

We've lost three times in a row. We're on a massive losing streak, but it ends now.

The Amazons are powerful solely on one person alone. If I could knock that person out, the Amazons would be weak and vulnerable.

A perfect plan popped into my head, but I wanted to hear what ideas my teammates had.

So, I sighed. "Loser Class again? Pathetic. Men, we must rise from the ashes and ignite the fires of victory."

"I'm all for starting fires." Duncan said.

"The Amazons are only powerful because they have Courtney. We need to break her apart, but how?"

"Ooh, ooh, ooh! Act like you're crushing on Gwen, and she'll go home, same as Bridgette and LeShawna! Then, Courtney will lose her energy!" Owen suggested.

I had to admit, that wasn't a bad idea, but it was a little convoluted.

"Bridgette and LeShawna? I thought I was the only guy to snag double gold at the Babe Olympics." Duncan looked at me smugly.

I was surprised Owen noticed those incidences. It made me stumble slightly.

"Eh, yes. I was truly fond of both. Sadly, the fates were against us. I suppose I could attempt a false seduction. But it goes against the gentleman's code."

"There's a code for that crud?" Duncan seemed disgusted with my manners.

"And if I seduce Gwen, it's most likely Courtney will remain unaffected. If only I could weaken her without involving Gwen..."

Duncan scoffed, causing me to smirk.

"Easy! Court's kinda into you, right? So, seduce her."

"Of course! If I flirt with Courtney, it will distract her from the game at hand, and the others will surely vote her out. Brilliant idea, Duncan!"

I turned to Miranda, who I'd realized wasn't paying much attention at all.

"Do you agree with this, Miranda?"

She turned to me suddenly, cocking her head to the side. But, she must have been listening, because her smile beamed as she nodded her head.

"Excellent! Surely, you'll help me out?"

She nodded again, going back to her phone.

I smirked at her. "Gracias, querida. Surely it'll be nothing personal."

I went over to her and kissed her cheek.

I soon realized that the others were still watching.

Duncan started teasing me about it and Owen laughed with it.
