Magenta Bond
"Why do we have to get off last?" Fiore yawned a little as she glanced up. She was exusted from that finale, so were Barry and Iris, but they were managing it better then she was!
"Because, finalists get a treat." Irs dryly laughed.
"Don't remember what happened on our season, I was so fucking high on those pain killers." Barry said.
"You weren't high, you were more chill from pain, there is a diffrence." Iris said.
"Yeah, when your high, your more fucked up, the pain killers make him submissive." Fiore smired,
"It did not!" Iris snapped as they saw they were finally allowed off.
"Oh thank god." Iris sighed as they walked off he bus.
"I thouht you said this place wasn't that bad." Barry said as he got off the bus, Iris right behing him.
"I did." Iris said, the motel looked the same.
"It looks like shit. I would know, I live on the street in Italy...... at least before this season. This is a shithole." Barry said.
"That's a word for it!" Fiore cackled.
"I can't wait to just get a shower.... or bath." Iris sighed.
"Right, 8 weeks of using a lake must suck." Barry smirked.
"You two won a portable shower." Iris said.
"We did....... when I acidentally tripped Riya." Barry laughed.
"Wasn't an accident!" Riya snapped from the distance.
"Whatever, so what are the rooms?" Fiore scowled at Oliver.
"Sophia and William. Riya and Connor. Jake and Tom. Ally and Hunter. Gabby and Ellie. James and Aiden. Tess and Ashley are sharing a room since they ran out of room. Blake and Lake. Grett and Miriam. Fiore your be with Alec." Oliver continued.
"Cool." Fiore nodded, hugging the briefcase a little, a part of her was still thinking it was a dream!
"And Since we didn't want you two or Dahlia with Yul, he get's his own room, and Barry and Iris get a room with Dahlia." Oliver said.
'We'll..... sleeping together?" Iris blushed.
"Come on, in a few years it'll be deeper then that." Barry smirked.
"Stop it!" Iris whined, covering her face.
"So why are we staying here for a month?" Fiore asked.
"We need to finish airing the season internationally wihtout spoilers. So you all get one more month here." Oliver said.
"At least we'll be free for Halloween." Barry said.
"Exactly." Fiore giggled.
So you two get room 9. Fiore, here's room 2." Oliver said as he handed them keys.
"And our bags we didn't get to hold onto?" Iris asked.
"In your rooms." Oliver smiled.
"Good." Fiore sighed as she yawned gently.
"Keep hold of that case. You earned it." Barry smiled as he walked towards the room with a 9.
"Good job again, you did great despite being half our age in that challenge." Iris smiled as she patted Fiore's head as she followed after Barry.
"So did you have to pull strings to get us together?" Fiore glanced up at Alec, she knew he was right by her.
"Nope. Everyone knew you'd want to be with someone close to you." Alec smiled as Fiore gently held his hand with her free hand.
"I agree with Iris. I want to get cleaned." Fiore admitted.
"Good thing each room has a bathroom, not as messy as the hotel looks from the outside." Alec chuckled.
"I'll beleive it when I see it." Fiore mumbled as he showed her towards the room.
"I do have to ask..... and The phrasing sound worse, but is there one bed?" Fiore asked, looking up at him.
"You can seperate the beds if you want. Blake and Lake do that so it's less awkward." Alec noted.
"The age...... right, I see. That makes more sense." She nodded.
"Up to you what to do." Alec offered her the choice.
"I'll think about it." SHe yawned again as they entered the room.
Barry was right, it looked like shit, the rooms at least looked more clean.
Sitting the briefcase down by the bed Fiore winced at feeling her hair.
She needed to wash it.
Fiore yawned a little sleepily as she opened her parachute bag, setting out everything on the table in the common room.
Super hero costume. Barry plush. Dahlia plush. Alec plush. Spike Plush. Heart Earings. and a cowboy hat. WIth a flower on said hat.
She could see what Iris meant. She felt better at her hair now feeling soft compared to the last few weeks. She wasn't even sure what time it was, but she was feeling tired.
When you have giant scorpions, a cave in, a gladiator battle with a tiger nearly mauling you, and then fighitng two people you cared about before winning 3 million? She was exusted!
But she did smile as she put the cowboy hat on.
She knew it wasn't the smartest to wear her hat with her hair still wet, but she wanted to have some fun before Alec woke up to see she wasn't in the room!
He might be her dad now, but she still wanted to mess with him a little, and it's not like she'd wonder off somewhere that would stress him out, she was in the entertainment room.
Of course her nearling getting mauled by a TIGER took all the energy out of him.
As she glanced at her reflection in the tv and smiled, she didn't notice Jake glance at her amusingly from the kitchen as he quietly left to go get someone.
"Well Iris fell asleep the moment she lied down on a bed for the first time in over two months. Barry is taking care of any of his multible injuries." The voice of Dahlia said as Fiore turned around, seeing Dahlia in her pajamas as she was undoing her hair.
Right, most contestants were getting ready for bed.
"The bruises, his knuckles..... anything else he got in the last two challenges..... what about his eye?" Fiore asked.
"Expesilly that. He has to sleep with ear plugs in, and an eye mask now..... i'm surrpised they let him get away without the mask, it's to help his eye at night with the scar." Dahlia sighed, sitting next to her.
"He'll make it work. How is he?" Fiore asked. It was about an hour since they split up (for now) but knowing mentally Barry wasn't the best the last few days, she was worried.
"..... better. He seemes more happy to have both me and Iris around. Guess you and him have the same fear of someone leaving, and not coming back." Dahlia noted.
"Is it that Obvious?" Fiore asked, standing up on the couch.
"More then you think. The clinging to people at times was proof of that." Dahlia nodded.
"At least I have two people preventing that from happening." Fiore gently said.
"Yep! So what are you using the money for?" Dahlia smiled.
"I don't know.... was gonna buy the school..... but i'm reconsidering it,,,, Barry's right about maybe us getting hurt but not being badly hurt was a sign this was mean to be..... and a part of me still hates saying that after all the shit the nuns talked about, but..... everything's better for me now." Fiore gently looked down before she was suddenly picked up.
"Hey!" Fiore laughed a little, Dahlia was giving her a piggyback ride at this point!
"Your telling me your gonna refuse a cowgirl piggyback ride?" Dahlia grinned.
"I thought your'd want me to go to sleep." Fiore laughed more.
"We got a little more time!" Dahlia laughed back.
She seemed way more calm compared to when they were at camp. Looks like the show being over (for them) helped her calm down!
"Don't go to fast, you might trip!" Fiore laughed.
"But you love it being faster!" Dahlia said.
"Doesn't mean I want you getting hurt!" Fiore laughed.
"Just hold on tight, I don't want yo to try and let me hold onto you by your legs as I spin like my sister does, scares me everytime." Dahlia said.
"So it's a challenge?" Fiore smirked.
"No. No it's not." Dahlia laughed.
"I think it is!" Fiore grinned more.
"You can lose your hat if you do." Dahlia pointed out as Fiore laughed.
"Damn it, I really wanted to do it to." She pouted.
"It's better for a cowgirl to have her hat while on a ride like this!" Dahlia grinned more.
'True." Fiore nodded, as she saw around the room as Dahlia moved.
"Where is everyone else?" Fiore asked.
"Usally around... guess today tired everyone out." Dahlia grinned.
"But two of us who did everything are still swining!" Fiore giggled.
"Well Barry rarely sleeps.... that's something we need to work on. And your adrenaline is still on!" Dahlia said.
"Of course." Fiore nodded as Dahlia stopped spinning to sit Fiore on the couch.
"That was.....dizzy." Fiore laughed.
"Yep." Dahlia laughed, sitting down too before a pillow hit her in the face, startling Fiore as she turned to look behind the couch.
"What's this I hear about a cowgirl being in a rodeo?" Ashley smirked.
"That was a cheap shot!" Fiore said before her eyes went wide as she ducked, a pillow flying over her head.
"Pillow fights don't have chaep shots!" Jake laughed, as the two walked over to the two.
"Are you gonna ask more questions about the scars?" Fiore asked.
"How?" Jake asked, sue him for being curious.
"Any kid at her school that knew asked." Dahlia said, pulling the pillow off her face.
"Barry told you that?" Fiore asked.
"I heard you tell him." Dahlia replied.
"Fine. The scar on my forhead doesn't hurt unless you put a ton of preasure on it, and no, just pressing it doesn't cause pain. The burns on my ankle and wrist also don't hurt." Fiore dryly said.
"What about the one........" Jake blushed at that one.
"Chest area? Christ just say pectoral area if you don't want to say it." Fiore smirked.
Jake rolled his eyes, but the small smile at least showed he was happy she wasn't upset.
"So, what about that?" Ashley asked.
"It stings when hot water touches it..... not sure why..... okay that's a lie. It's when hot water SUDDENLY touches it." Fiore said.
"Huh.... makes sense." Jake nodded.
"What about the back?" Dahlia asked.
"I flinch when it's touched directly no matter who does it, but usally I calm down quickly..... if you hit it........ it hurts a lot. Like it stings like I got stabbed." Fiore explained.
"That explains the greeting with Rosa a lot about how that works." Ashley nodded.
"Didn't Barry touch your back in that spot?" Jake asked.
"I trust him enough..... also he never pats my back. He patted my head." Fiore pouted a little.
"When you weren't wearing the hat." Ashley joked.
"Ha. Ha." Fiore dryly laughed.
"Come on! That...... was...... funny." Jake said, suddenly his eyes went wide at Dahlia slowly looking at him, and holding up the pillow to hit him with, a grin forming on her face.
"Oh, it's on now!" She smirked as she suddenly knocked him to the ground by hitting him in the face.
"Isn't that extreme?" Ashley asked.
"You haven't seen me in a snowfall fight, BITCH!" Dahlia grinned before frowning. "Sorry! Too much?" Dahlia sheepishly smiled.
"..... for this? Nope." Ashley smirked as she hit Dahlia with the pillow.
"Okay. Do that again." Dahlia smirked.
Before she could react, she got hit from behind!
She spun to see Jake had hit her again.
"REVENGE!" Dahlia yelled as she tried to hit Jake who barely ducked, and ran, Dahlia running after him.
"GET BACK HERE!" Dahlia laughed as she kept trying to hit Jake.
"You have to earn it Dollie, not get it as a gift!" Jake laughed.
"So..... what are we gonna do?" Fiore glanced at Ashley who looked confused for a second before crouching down.
"Climb on!" Ashley smirked as Fiore climbed onto her back as she ran after Dahlia and Jake.
"Team up! That's not fair!" Dahlia pouted at seeing this as Jake and her stopped.
"Season 1 vs 3!" Fiore cheered.
"Yeah!" Jake cheered.
"Sure!" Ashley smirked as Dahlia's eyes went wide.
"3 On 1 isn't fair!" Dahlia snapped, before hitting Jake in the face, knocking him to the ground.
"Hey!" Jake winced as Dahlia ran past him, Ashley chasing after her with Fiore on her back.
"Okay....... wait up!" Jake called as he chased after them.
Dahlia was trying to avoid Ashley and Fiore, and Jake as she kept dodging swings, as she managed to duck again, Fiore threw her pillow at Dahlia as she ducked, it going flying as the door opened.
"What are you guys doing?" Hunter asked, walking into the room, Ally walking in behind him as the pillow hit him in the face. The four freezing at this as Hunter blinked.
"Uh...... pillow fight." Dahlia laughed nervously.
"Season 1 vs 3." Fiore said.
"1 on 3?" Ally asked, crossing her arms amused.
"Any better idea?" Jake asked.
"We are season 1." Ashley smirked, before Hunter picked up the pillow.
"You mean season 1 vs season 2 and 3." Hunter smirked.
"Oh no." Ashley said.
"RUN!" Fiore said as Hunter was coming at them with the pillow, Ally laughing a little as she grabbed a pillow to join Hunter in chasing the two!
"Wait? 3 on 3?" Jake blinked before looking at Dahlia.
"Yeah!" She grinned hitting him with her pillow.
"Ah!" Jake cried out as she stumbled back as Dahia tried hitting him again.
"Come on and fight me now!" Dahlia laughed as she ran after him.
"Why are you acting so crazy?!" Jake yelled out.
"Season 3 snowball fight!" Dahlia laughed.
"I don't remember that one!" Jake cried out, he was seeing that side Iris and Barry brought up!
"You two think you can beat us?" FIore smirked at Ally and Hunter.
"Yeah. If we do this." Ally smirke as she climbed onto Hunter's back, sitting on his shoulders as he managed to balanced well.
"Hey! Chicken ain't fun when she's shorter!" Ashley said.
"Fuck it!" Fiore said as she hit Ashley in the face, feathers spilling out a little.
"Hey!" Ally laughed as she hit back, more feathers flying around before they fell back at Dahlia tackling Jack to the ground, feathers flying up into the air.
"You guys are really Lou........ are you having a pillow fight?" James asked, seeing the 6 fighting with pillows.
"Why are people coming in?" Dahlia asked as she stumbled up, Jake standing up beside her couging out feathers.
"You are brutal with this." He noted, getting a smile.
"This chicken game isn't fun." Fiore said as she climbed down to the ground.
"So...... pillow first?" James smirked at the 6.
"Noticing a pattern here." Hunter said.
"James! Help us and Dahlia beat the season 1 team!" Ally grinned.
"Uh.... what?" Jake asked as James smirked at him.
"Eh. Why not." He said as he grabbed a pillow and tried to attack Jake.
"James! Calm down!" Jake said, it was too much with him and Dahlia.
"I owe you for my elimination." James chuckled, chasing Jake now.
Ashley looked at Hunter and Ally, confused as they smirked.
'This is getting hectic." Fiore admite.
"True. but it's more fun that way." Dahlia grinned as Fiore's eyes went wide.
"HEY!" Fiore cried out, knowing that look.
"Dollie! There you..... huh........." Barry said as he suddenly came in as everyone looked at him, he blankly looked around, thinking.
He could see Ally on Hunter's shoulders, Dahlia and Fiore about to hit each other, and Jake and Ashley near him, ready to attack James.
"Fuck it. MAGENTA PILLOW FIGHT!" Barry said, suddenly slamming his pillow into Ashley, making her stumble back a little, before she smirked at him.
"GET HIM!" Ashlley yelled as Barry's eyes.....eye? Went wide.
"Regretting this now." He said before running, everyone else chasing him now to hit him with a pillow.
"Wait! Season 1 plus Barry, vs Season 2 plus Dahlia!" Fiore grinned.
"4v4?" Ally asked.
"That is more fair." Jake nodded.
'And balanced with players." Hunter smirked.
"A magenta pillow fight?" Ashley laughed.
"Hell yeah." Jame smirked.
"It's better then being 7 on 1." Barry said.
"Exactly!" Dahlia laughed before a pillow hit her in the face, making her stumble back into Hunter as she blinked.
"That's forthe snowball fight on season 3." Barry smirked.
"Oh it's on Bare!" Dahlia grinned a little crazy as she picked up her pillow and running after him!
"I still owe you a hit." Jake smirked at James after a few seconds as James chuckled.
"You made a mistake with that challenge." James said as Jake suddenly hit him.
"Season 1 plus 3 team up 2 now." Jake smirked before running, James going after him.
Fiore blinked as she saw Ashley block a hit from Ally suddenly as Ashley hit back, glancing over she smiled at Hunter.
"So, it's me and you?" Fiore said.
'Guess it is." He chuckled.
"One for the road!" Barry said, running by as he hit Hunter.
"Barry!" Hunter said as Dahlia ran by after him, before turning around and saw Fiore was gone.
'Fiore?" He asked, spining around as his eyes went wide.
She jumped off the coch to hit him in the head with her pillow, feathers going everywhere again as her pillow inploded.
Hunter stumbled back as he coughed.
"Yeah.... this got a little to hectic." He chuckled.
"I think it's fun." Fiore giggled as Barry slid to a stop by herm back pressing the couch.
"I lost her." He smiled.
"......no you didn't." Hunter said as she suddenly was looking at him from above him, standing on the couch.
"Found you!" She grinned, only for him to his her in the face with his pillow as she yelped, falling foward and laning on his lap.
"Rude." She dryly said.
"Kiss!" Fiore giggled.
"after the fight." Barry grinned.
"Barry!" Dahlia blushed as Hunter and FIore laughed.
"Come on guys!" Jake said.
"We're winning this war!" Ashley laughed.
"Where's the pillow monster?" Ally asked.
"Yeah! 2v2 Isn't fun." James laughed.
"Alright." Hunter chuckled.
"We're gonna smoke you guys!" Dahlia said, getting up.
"Nope." Barry winked at Fiore.
"We're crushing you guys!" She grinned happily, getitng a new pillow.
It was on!
She didn['t feel tired anymore!
