FSI: Paintball Showdown Part 3

Fox and Miss Fortune were walking behind all the buildings in secrecy.

Miss Fortune was blushing but had her mouth shut.

Fox rolled his eyes and suddenly bumped into a steel post.

He fell down.

"Ouch!" he yelled.

"FOX!" Miss Fortune wailed. "Are you okay?? Do you need medical attention! I can kiss your boo-boo!"

"I'M FINE." Fox groaned standing up. "What did I bump into?"

Fox turned around.

The steel post supported a giant water tower structure.

"What the?" Fox groaned. "A water tower?"

"Oh we should climb it!" Miss Fortune said excitedly. "I mean it's romantic, close to the sky, and-"

Fox stared at Miss Fortune annoyed.

Miss Fortune looked nervous.

"And it'd be a great spot to look for other contestants so we can shoot them!" Miss Fortune said quickly.

Fox blinked.

"Fine." Fox said. "But when we get to the top, I'm shooting the gun."

"As you wish," Miss Fortune said blushing.

Fox rolled his eyes and grabbed a steel ladder attached to the tower.

He started climbing.

Miss Fortune happily followed (Like she had another choice; being handcuffed.).



***

"Well there is nobody up here." Fox said. "Looks like we're safe."

"Safe… And alone…." Miss Fortune said dreamingly.

"Yeah, now where's that paintball gun you promised?" Fox asked annoyed.

"Oh here." Miss Fortune said holding up a red paintball gun.

Fox reached for it.

Miss Fortune held the gun higher.

"Miss Fortune stop this isn't funny." Fox groaned.

Miss Fortune held it up as high as she could.

"Miss Fortune give me it!" Fox yelled jumping up and down for it.

Miss Fortune held the paintball gun over the ledge.

"Miss Fortune!" Fox yelled.

Fox reached over the ledge to grab it.

He fell.

Miss Fortune dropped the paintball gun.

She fell over with Fox; being handcuffed.

"AAAGH!" Miss Fortune screamed.

The two suddenly stopped.

"Ouch!" Fox grunted. "That's gonna hurt my hand for sometime…"

"What happened?" Miss Fortune asked looking around.

The two looked up.

They were attached to a steel wedge that jolted out of a steel bar.

The chain linking the two handcuffs had caught the wedge.

"Well we're stuck." Fox said annoyed.

"I can live with that…" Miss Fortune said dreamingly.

Fox looked away disgusted.



***

"Where is Miss Fortune?!" Bunny yelled. "And Tonya!?"

She was waiting on top of the water tower, tapping her foot.

"They were supposed to meet here when I told them to!" Bunny yelled.

"Well, well, well…" came a voice.

Bunny whirled around, holding up her paintball gun.

Slick was leaning against the steel water barrel with his paintball gun at his side.

"Have you got shot yet?" Bunny asked.

"If I got shot I wouldn't be here now would I?" Slick asked.

Bunny shot two warning shots near Slick's feet.

Orange paint splattered by his feet.

"Back off." Bunny said.

"We can do this the easy way or the hard way." Slick said smiling. "You can walk out right now and not get hurt or you can talk to my paintball gun…"

"And walk out of immunity?" Bunny asked laughing. "As if!"

"Okay then!" Slick said.

Slick ran to one side of the grating.

Bunny paced backwards to the other side.

They both held their paintball guns at each other.



***

"What color is he?" Fox asked annoyed.

"A reddish-orange…" Miss Fortune said smiling.

"Is it Fox?" Fox asked annoyed.

"Yes!" Miss Fortune said excitedly. "Man you're good at 20 questions! You've won, like, twenty times!"

"That's because each time the answer was Fox." Fox groaned.

"Ha-ha I know!" Miss Fortune said happily.

"Do you know how when we can get down?" Fox asked annoyed.

"Not really… But this water tower is pretty high up." Miss Fortune said looking down. "Wait! Water tower?"

"What about it?" Fox asked annoyed.

"Bunny told me and Tonya to meet her up here!" Miss Fortune said.

"And you were gonna listen to her?" Fox asked.

"Ha-ha, no." Miss Fortune said smiling.

"Well if she's up here then maybe she can get us down!" Fox yelled.

"You honestly think she'll help?" Miss Fortune asked.

"I know she won't help but it's still worth a shot!" Fox yelled. "I'm tired of my hand aching and I'm sick of being here!"

Miss Fortune blinked.

"But we're together." She said.

Fox turned away.

"BUNNY!" he yelled. "YOU THERE?!"

Miss Fortune's eyes filled with tears.



***

"What was that?" Slick asked.

"I dunno!" Bunny said.

She looked over the edge.

Slick did the same.

They looked at each other and shrugged.

The both pointed their guns over the edge.



***

"F-Fox…" Miss Fortune said sniveling.

"Yeah?" Fox asked annoyed.

An orange paintball shot Miss Fortune in her dress while a grey paintball shot Fox in his suit.

"I think you are just the sweetest thing." Miss Fortune said smiling with tears in her eyes.

"Wait what?!" Fox asked surprised.

"You said you hated being here!" Miss Fortune said. "Which means you'd rather be with me on our future honeymoon island that I mentioned twelve times today!"

"Wait! What?" Fox yelled.

Miss Fortune swung her free arm around Fox and hugged him.

"I love you so much!" Miss Fortune said happily.

"Ugh…" Fox groaned.



***

"Well I guess my pathetic alliance members didn't show up to the party." Bunny said holding her paintball gun up. "Miss Fortune went off with Fox and Tonya went who-knows where…"

Slick laughed.

"I don't know where Tonya went but I do know where you're about to go." Slick said smiling.

"And where's that?" Bunny asked.

"The Shame Ship." Slick said.

He pulled his trigger and shot at Bunny.

He missed her head and shot the water tank.

It made a dent in the tank.

"Oh really?" Bunny asked.

She pulled her trigger.

Her orange paintball whizzed by Slick's arm.

Slick glared at Bunny intently.

Bunny did the same.

The two shot at each other multiple times.

Orange paint splattered all over the grating.

Brown paint splattered all over the water tank.

It made dents in the tank.

Bunny pulled her trigger with perfect aim.

Nothing happened.

"What the?" Bunny yelled pulling her trigger multiple times.

"Ha! Out of paint already!" Slick yelled.

Bunny leaned against the water tank.

"This would've turned out better if Miss Fortune would've stayed up here instead of hanging with my brother." Bunny muttered.

Slick shrugged and pointed his paintball gun towards Bunny.

He pulled the trigger.

Bunny stepped aside.

The paintball hit the water tank, missing Bunny but hitting where she previously stood.

"You know I can just keep dodging your shots until you're all out of paint!" Bunny laughed.

Slick blinked and ran away.

"HA!" Bunny laughed. "AFRAID, HUH?"

Slick climbed down the ladder and ran into the town.

Bunny leaned over the edge.

"Bye loser!" Bunny yelled.

Suddenly, some pink paint squirted past Bunny, missing her.

"What the heck?" Bunny asked turning around.

She blinked.

The dents in the water tower was leaking and squirting paint.

"Well this cannot be good." Bunny said.



***

Mr. Director and McBeaver were sitting in chairs at the edge of the town.

Izzy, Tonya, and Squirrel were fanning the two.

"This is nice…" Mr. Director said.

"Ya got that right." McBeaver said grinning.

Slick ran up to the group, panting.

"Grab a fan and start fanning." Mr. Director said.

"I'm not out yet…" Slick panted.

"Then why are you here?" McBeaver asked.

"The water tower is gonna blow…" Slick panted.

"Whoa no way!" Mr. Director exclaimed jumping out of his seat. "I had the interns fill that thing up with paint but I didn't expect anyone to make it explode!"

"Well it's gonna." Slick said, finally catching his breath.

Everyone turned and looked at the tower.

A burst of rainbow exploded in the sky.

"That is so cool!" Tonya said.

The multi-colored paint shot in the air and started heading for the ground.

The paint took down the whole tower and started pouring down the old fashioned Western town's main street.

It was destroying the fake buildings as it flowed.

Slick looked around at everyone and then ran in the opposite direction.

"This could end badly." Mr. Director said glancing at everyone.

The river of paint slammed into Mr. Director, McBeaver, Izzy, Tonya, and Squirrel.

It carried them away.

Bunny, Miss Fortune, and Fox were also caught in the river of paint.



***

Everyone was sitting in the mess hall.

They were all dripping in paint still, except for Slick.

"Okay, so clearly the winner of today's challenge is Slick," Mr. Director said. "Since he has no paint whatsoever."

Slick nodded happily.

Bunny rolled her eyes.

"Okay well voting starts soon, so get ready to cast your votes." Mr. Director said. "Oh and one last thing… We are low on water so there's only enough for one to shower and wash off the paint."

Bunny, Miss Fortune, and Tonya all stood up quickly.

"And that shower goes to me!" Mr. Director said annoyed. "Now get ready to vote!"

Mr. Director stormed out of the mess hall.

McBeaver followed.

Bunny spat at the ground and pulled Miss Fortune and Tonya back.

"Okay, it's time we use our alliance since you two didn't earlier today!" Bunny said annoyed. "Slick has immunity so we are going to finally get rid of Fox!"

"NO!" Miss Fortune yelled.

"I knew you would go against it so I am going to force you to!" Bunny yelled.

"NO! I AM NOT GETTING RID OF FOX!!!" Miss Fortune yelled.

Bunny slapped Miss Fortune.

"Yes. Yes you are!" Bunny yelled.

"NO! You always want to and it never works anyway!" Miss Fortune yelled. "He deserves to stay! And you deserve to go!"

Bunny blinked.

"What did you say?" Bunny asked sternly.

"You deserve to go!" Miss Fortune yelled. "You're harsh and cruel and heartless."

Bunny turned to Tonya.

"Well I changed my mind on who WE'RE voting off." Bunny said. "Come with me Tonya."

Bunny stormed off and Tonya followed.

Miss Fortune glared at Bunny.

"We need to get rid of her fast." Miss Fortune said annoyed.



***

The night was sparkling bright on the island.

The contestants were also sparkling in their paint-jobs.



***
Confessional: "I vote off Bunny because she's a big jerk!" Miss Fortune yelled. "I don't even know why I joined her alliance!"
***
Confessional: "I vote off Miss Fortune." Fox said. "She's creeping me out. I'm tired of her possessiveness."
***
Confessional: "I vote off Miss Fortune because she's a huge backstabber!" Bunny groaned. "She does not follow the alliance rules! It's time I just get rid of her…"
***

"Contestants…" Mr. Director said smirking. "You have all done quite terribly today."

Tonya, Fox, Squirrel, and Miss Fortune frowned uncomfortably.

Bunny, Izzy, and Slick smiled.

"Ah Squirrel, you're a hazard to roof-top paint, not even knowing what was going on." Mr. Director said. "And Izzy, I wouldn't be surprised if it's your lucky butt in the Shame Ship tonight after your whole 'nice' charade."

Squirrel faked a smile and Izzy looked away nervously.

"And boy oh boy there's Fox." Mr. Director said. "Sending Izzy off into instant elimination from the challenge and then hanging with your girlfriend."

"She's not my girlfriend!" Fox yelled.

"Whatever you say," Mr. Director laughed. "And Miss Fortune. You went a little crazy today with Fox and Bunny. It also could be you leaving!"

"I wouldn't call it crazy," Miss Fortune said. "I would just call it love. Love in which me and Fox are destined to be together!"

Fox made puke-faces and Miss Fortune smiled proudly.

"And Bunny, I wouldn't be so happy about your chances of staying," Mr. Director said.

Bunny blinked.

"Your own alliance has defied you, and another contestant wants to get rid of you." Mr. Director explained.

Bunny whirled around.

Slick smiled sheepishly.

"Now," Mr. Director said. "If I call your name, you are safe."

"Squirrel."

"Slick."

"Tonya."

"Izzy."

"Fox."

"And here we have our final two." Mr. Director said squinting at Bunny and Miss Fortune. "I wonder who will take the plunge…"

"I don't care; get rid of either of them!" Fox yelled.

"Only one of you two can stay and keep competing for the chance at one million." Mr. Director said. "And the person who will be leaving; to never ever compete again is…"

"Miss Fortune…"

Bunny stood up and laughed.

Miss Fortune's jaw dropped and then converted to a sad frown.

"What happened here?" Miss Fortune asked with tears in her eyes. "I knew Bunny and Tonya got rid of me but who else?"

"I gotta say the votes were pretty close." Mr. Director laughed. "It was three votes against Bunny and four against Miss Fortune!"

"But who made this happen?" Miss Fortune asked.

Fox walked over to her.

"Me and Squirrel." Fox said. "Yeah sorry but you were just weirding me out too much."

Miss Fortune gazed into Fox's eyes with sadness and then looked down.

"Okay no time to waste!" Mr. Director said. "You have the Shame Ship to catch my friend!"

Miss Fortune stood up and walked towards the dock.

Everyone else followed.

"Bye Miss Fortune!' Squirrel said waving.

"We will most certainly miss you!" Izzy called.

Miss Fortune faked a smile and waved back.

"Thanks guys." she said.

She walked over to Tonya.

"When you get the chance, whoop Bunny for me." Miss Fortune whispered to Tonya.

Tonya nodded and hugged Miss Fortune good-bye.

Miss Fortune walked back onto the dock and started for the Shame Ship.

"Well I guess that's it." Slick said.

"We're down to six." Bunny said looking at everyone uncomfortably.

"Well, I dunno about you guys, but I'm gonna get some sleep," Fox said. "Night everyone-"

"FOX!!!" someone screamed.

Fox whirled around.

Miss Fortune was running towards him.

"Crap!" Fox yelled.

Miss Fortune scooped Fox up in a tight hug.

"I know you only got rid of me because you were afraid of our love getting in the way of the competition!" Miss Fortune said squeezing Fox. "You said so when we were hanging together in our handcuffs!"

"No I didn't!" Fox gasped.

"But I will wait for your arrival!" Miss Fortune said smiling. "I will wait for you to return so we can start our relationship fresh and new!"

"Uh, that's great," Fox groaned. "NOW LET GO OF ME!"

Miss Fortune held Fox in front of her and grinned.

"Oh no…" Fox groaned.

Miss Fortune kissed Fox passionately.

She set him down.

She fainted in awe from being love struck.

Fox gasped for air after her kiss.

"Okay!" Fox yelled annoyed. "I am going to sleep!"

Fox stormed off.

"Wait for me!" Squirrel called.

He followed.

Slick shrugged and also followed.

"Wait! We have to go to sleep while being covered in paint?" Tonya called. "Guys? Answer me please!" Tonya ran off for the guys.

McBeaver grabbed Miss Fortune and walked her down the dock.

Bunny and Izzy followed.

McBeaver tossed Miss Fortune into the Shame Ship.

She was still frozen with joy.

Miss Fortune sailed away from FSI, never to return again.

Bunny watched as Miss Fortune sailed away.

"Well, my alliance has shrunken down to two again." Bunny sighed.

Bunny turned to Izzy.

"Say Izzy, would you like to join my alliance?" Bunny asked.

Izzy stared blankly out at sea.

Her dress drifted in the breeze.

She opened her mouth to speak.

"Why that would be… Delightful."

Lightning flickered behind the two.
