What's next?
Rewards for the winners
“Alright! Now that we have completed the inaugural competition and awarded the punishment to the losing team it’s time to dish out some rewards for our winners of the previous competition. If each team can send out a representative to accept the reward, we can get the ceremony under way,” the hostess said as the crowd was roaring with excitement. Lucy was the first to appear as the crowd chanted her name as waved at her adoring fans. Jenny appeared next as she was rather jubilant to share some of the spotlight for once. Maggie's followed to her own cheers and a large group of people yelling Mags. Lastly, Chantelle made an appearance with a refined wave that had the crowd fired up.
“It appears everyone sent out a new face as I can imagine the competition players must be exhausted. Now for the first place prize, Team hero thanks to the squirting heroics of Mel will receive…a day out on a private beach in Malibu. Spa treatments on the sand as well as all inclusive bar…wow talk about high class! And now a word from Lucy!”
She handed the microphone over to the former executive producer as Lucy said, “It’s an honor to have each and every one of you here. This is all possible thanks to your dedication to us and we hope you continue to enjoy the season for all that it has to offer!”
Lucy handed the microphone back to the hostess as she said, “Lovely words! And now to announce second place prize…a private tour of Hollywood hills and a map of the stars! Jenny how does that sound for a prize?”
“Well I’m excited! We might get to see the Olsen twins or see someone famous!”
“Well congratulations nonetheless and to announce for third place you will receive a pizza party in the mansion. We got a great local sponsor so we know you will happily enjoy it!”
“Well pizza is awesome! I won’t complain about free food,” said the Tiger girl.
“As for the fourth place team your reward was not being put into the doll house so strive for a top three spot next time! The crowd laughed as the expectation was for some kind of reward but it made sense with that logic.
“Hey I’m not complaining at all. I’m happy to be just not in the doll house. We appreciate your continued support!”
“Well that’s all for today and we look forward to next week where we will see you all back there!” The hostess said as she signed out of the broadcast. The four representatives hurried back inside to their respective teams.
“That is not a reward!” Mel said as she was no longer relaxed. “Why is the reward still somewhere in public? Also what are we gonna do about the Rebecca and dollhouse situation?”
“Ok one thing at a time and at least we get a massage by the beach,” Jazz said as she playfully pushed into Mel’s shoulder. Mel shoved her back as the girl chuckled with one another. James was standing next to Leilani as he felt that he should keep some distance at this time.
“You were awesome out there, babe,” Leilani said embracing and kissing her wife. James was now feeling like a fifth wheel as Tania made her way over with Lexie.
“Trouble in paradise, stud?” Tania asked as Lexie pinched her cheek.
“Sorry I’m still teaching her manners. But what happened between you two?” Lexie asked with genuine concern.
“Too much time with Tania and I think she is really beaten up over the last event,” James said with a sigh. “She’s told me she’s not mad but I can tell she’s also not happy.”
“Take it from someone that’s been married to her…she still loves you but she has to deal with some personal issues,” Lexie said with a comforting hand on his shoulder.
“Should I be concerned with how close she is with Jazmin?” James asked Lexie.
“I don’t think so. She’s absolutely smitten with you and if anything Jazmin is just a dutiful friend,” Lexie said with a smile.
“If anything does happen, I’ll be there to pick you right up, big boy,” Tania said as she poked his chest.
“Are you fucking flirting with him right in front of me!?” Lexie growled
“Sorry! **** of habit…” Tania said with a giggle. “Anyways we should all get ready to go on our tour while you all go enjoy your beach day.”
“Thanks! I will too,” James said as he continued to watch those two. Mel was being particularly flirty with how much she touched Jazmin. From her arm to her shoulder and even playful pats on her butt was a bit concerning for him. James would be lying if he didn’t have a hint of jealously with this new woman that seemed to be clicking with Mel.
