Erik: Bonjour, mes amies! Today, we have a dare from StarringTheNight: "I dare Erik Gustave and Raoul to go apple picking and get into a who-can-pick-the-most-apple-contest, and the winner gets to pelt the loser with his apples."

Raoul: Ooooh, you are on!

Gustave: Apple orchards are messy though, Raoul. You'll be so afraid of getting dirty that I'll win!

Erik: I'm taller than both of you, so I can reach the apples better. I bet it'll be me.

~*~ To the apple orchard ~*~

Log_Lady: Alright guys, I'm the referee, so if there's any foul play, you'll have to deal with me! Get your baskets ready..... Set......... Go!!!!

Raoul: *immediately dashes to the other side of the orchard, as far away from Erik and Gustave as possible*

Gustave: You wimp!!!! Hahahaha- hey! Dad, that's not fair!!!!

Erik: *furiously picking apples, starting with the lowest ones that Gustave can reach* Log_Lady hasn't stopped me yet.

Gustave: Fine. I'll just go somewhere else then. *runs off in Raoul's direction*

Erik: Wait...... I can't tease you guys if you're over there...... *follows*

~*~

Gustave: *picking half-squished apples from the ground, effectively filling his bucket quickly*

Log_Lady: That doesn't count! You have to pick them from the trees.

Gustave: *sticks his tongue out* Fine.

Erik: Oh no! Raoul, watch out!! There's a bug in your hair!

Raoul: What?? Where???? Get it off get it off!!! *jumps around, flipping his hair; accidentally knocks over his basket and spills the apples out*

Gustave: There's not really a bug. Dad's just being a jerk.

Erik: Hey! You don't talk to me like that!

Gustave: You talk to Raoul like that.

Erik: That's different!

Gustave: You suck. Come on Raoul, I'll go up in the tree where there's more apples and throw them down to you if you'll fill both our baskets. Whatever we can do to make Dad lose!

~*~ Several basket sabotages and arguments later, the baskets are full as can be and ready to be weighed ~*~

Log_Lady: And the winner is........ Raoul!! Sorry Erik, you lose.

Erik: What?? How??!

Log_Lady: I didn't tell you guys this, but anytime anyone was mean, I discreetly took two apples from your basket. And you........ You were really mean.

Erik: *grumpily* Whatever.

Log_Lady: Alright, time for pelting!

~*~ Gustave and Raoul prepare their baskets and begin throwing them! ~*~

Log_Lady: *amidst the noise of the apples* Ok, see you guys next time!!

Erik: *screaming*
