(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm so ready to go to sleep right now." I groan out as I stretch my arms over my head, yawning loudly. I hear a few satisfying pops, slightly wincing from still being sore.

"Can't agree with you more sweetheart." I shriek as I suddenly get picked up, slung over Duncan's shoulder as he carries me to the trailers.

"Oi! Put me down!"

"They're so sweet it almost hurts my teeth." I hear Beth say and I blush, gasping as Duncan slaps my ass.

"Duncan, put me down!" my face slowly goes red from embarrassment as everyone snickers behind him. We finally reach the trailers and I get set down on my feet. "Finally."

"It's been a long night guys. So goodnight!" Lindsay says, going to open the trailer door but it doesn't budge.

The girl probably forgot the difference between pull and push.

"I'll see you in a few minutes in your bed." Duncan whispers in my ear, winking as he goes to open his trailer door but it also doesn't budge. "Hey, who locked the door!?" He growls, trying to pry the door open.

"Wait! Let me try!" he quickly moves out of the way as Izzy rams her body into the door.

"Oh yeah, that girl has so many screws loose..." Leshawna giggles at my comment. We all suddenly hear a siren and Izzy freaks thinking it was the cops but it was an ambulance dropping of a gurney with something beneath a surgical sheet.

"Ew! What is that!? A dead body!?" Heather exclaims as we all get closer to it.

"Or an undead body." Duncan says and I pick up a stick, poking the object.

"Ok, whoever is poking me, stop before I kick you off the show." I hear Chris and I roll my eyes, ripping the sheet off to see him sitting on a bunch of textbooks? "You ruined my intro (y/n)!"

"And?" I shrug, throwing the stick away and he sighs, jumping down from the gurney. He goes on about prepping us for our next challenge that requires us to read 8 years worth of med school.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yeah, there's no way I'm reading all that." I huff out as I flip through the pages. "I'm not that great with memorising stuff. Plus it's not an elimination round so no point."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I hate doctors. They just get off on telling people stuff they don't wanna hear." Duncan grumbles, glaring at the camera before smirking.

"Now playing doctor, that I can do. Wonder if (y/n) is gonna dress up as my nurse." He grins at the thought. "Wouldn't mind listening to her in that getup."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You're gonna wanna memorise the entire contents of these textbooks by morning!" I wasn't listening to Chris as I skimmed through the book, confused already by some of these terms.

No way these sound real...

I was about to close the book when the covers suddenly come off, holding a broken textbook in my hands. I look up at the cameras when I realise that these textbooks were fake.

"Really?" I raise a brow at the cameras, showing them that the covers were made from cereal boxes. "You tried kids." I look around to see that no one else noticed the fraudulent textbooks thinking they were real and I throw mine away behind me.

"PIZZA!?" Owen gasps as Chef hands him a pile of boxes filled with fresh pizza and I question the quality of them.

"Looks ok... smells ok... tastes... incredible!" Duncan tries the pizza and everyone goes crazy to eat some except me and Leshawna. "You don't want any?"

"If I know Chris, and I do, he won't willingly do something nice for his game show victims. I ain't gonna touch that just in case."

"More for us then!" Lindsay squeals and I just shrug.

"I'm going to sleep early love." Duncan nods as I kiss his cheek.

"I'll see you in a bit sweetheart." I yawn and shimmy the trailer window open to crawl through.

"Why didn't we think of that." I chuckle as I hear Justin, going to take a shower in the small trailer bathroom before changing into pj's and flopping on the bed to sleep. I don't know what time it was but I hear a thud and someone pick up my body.

"Duncan?" I yawn out, opening my eyes to see him lay me on top of his chest.

"Just go to sleep sweets." I don't hesitate to listen, snuggling into his arms that wrap around me as I bury my nose in his neck. "Goodnight (y/n)." I feel Duncan kiss my head and I smile, kissing his shoulder.

"Night love."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh, you guys don't look good." I grimace as everyone besides me, Duncan and Leshawna walk up to the set where we were waiting for Chris. They all groan like zombies, looking exhausted. Not like they were the only ones, I'm not feeling too hot either.

I hiss lowly as I feel queasiness hit me, wincing at the sick feeling I was experiencing all morning the moment I woke up. "Sugar, you sure you're ok?" Leshawna was worried but I kept telling her I was ok.

"Yeah, don't worry too much..."

I feel like I'm going to puke but I didn't eat anything...

"Hey, you sure you good?" Duncan was also worried, as I gag lightly. He rubbed my hips and that oddly soothed away the queasiness.

"Yeah, I'm ok."

"Good morning competitors! Or should I say... doctors!" Chris suddenly shows up, slamming the doors open while holding a bazooka and fires a headpiece with a stethoscope on each of us. Chris leads us inside the set and goes on explaining the mission but I couldn't listen to him, too focused on trying not to show everyone I was sick. 

I jump when I hear someone scream and I look up to see Beth being electrocuted by eels as whatever dead body piece flies out of her hands. I quickly catch the foot and stick it on the board realising the challenge had already started.

"You don't look too great." Lindsay says to me. "You look pale." I shake her off, the challenge continuing as everyone gets all the body pieces. It was neck and neck with the other team as we pulled on the chain to raise the cadaver when Izzy points out a sore on Owens's arm.

"Owen, you're burning up-" he suddenly burps, mentioning that it was lemony.

"Hold on... red sores, fever, lemony burps..." I didn't get why Justin suddenly looked panicked until beth confirms that it was the symptoms of some fatal disease they read in the stupid textbook. The other team gasps, Heather confirming that it was also highly contagious.

"Ok! Looks like it's quarantine time!" Chris immediately leaves, locking everyone in and all the contestants were going crazy. Everyone went through mass hysteria as somehow each person got one of the many symptoms of this disease.

"Great, just great..." I roll my eyes as now it was up to me, Duncan and Leshawna to look after the sick contestants that all whined about not wanting to die. "This is nuts. We're the ones that didn't study last night and now the ones that aren't affected."

"This isn't a coincidence." Leshawna says. "We need to get our hands on one of those textbooks."

"I'm not sure if they're reliable cause they're fake. Chris made the covers using cereal boxes." Leshawna and Duncan gape at me.

"What!?"

"So I'm betting it's probably something everyone ate."

"Like the pizza last night!" Leshawna exclaims.

"Hold on, then why aren't I getting symptoms?"

"Just hitting you late maybe." I shrug at Duncan. "Either way, we need to check Chefs kitchen."

"Good idea except Chris sealed off the only exit." Duncan says but I point behind him to an opening in the ceiling.

"Not everything." All three of us get on the board and start pulling up using the chains, reaching the top to find a ladder and we all climb down. I stumble back against the wall, hit with a dizzy spell.

"Whoa honey, you good?" 

"Yeah-just..." I blink rapidly, clutching my stomach. 

"I'll take her to the kitchen to find out what's up with the pizza and see if there is anything to help (y/n). You find that fake textbook." Leshawna tells Duncan and he frowns at me as she holds me up.

"I'll be fine. You'll find a textbook on the ground somewhere at the trailers. I threw it away."

"Ok. Keep her safe Leshawna." she nods and Duncan runs off as we walk to the kitchen. We reach there in no time and Leshawna sets me down on a seat seeing as I was exhausted all of a sudden.

"Maybe you caught whatever the others got." I shake my head.

"I didn't eat the pizza."

"Did you eat anything?" I shake my head again and she frowns. "Here, take the pretzels. I don't want you getting worse on me honey."

"Thank you." I snack on the pretzels, feeling much better. "I think the stress of this show is getting to me."

"I can tell." Leshawna chuckles and I notice the cheese can with the label falling off.

"The cheese!" Leshawna picks it up, removing the label to find that it was actually filled with laxatives and itching powder. "I knew that pizza was too good to be true!"

"Let's get back to the others quick!"
