Kate dropped her backpack and her leather jacket onto the huge stone staircase of the castle. She stopped to look around at where she was. From where she was standing she could see a parlor, almost all white and blue, a huge glass wall, encasing a swimming pool and a two hot tubs, and a conservatory (a fancy name for a living room). Only two camera men, for different angled shots, a mic woman, and she could see several "hidden" cameras.
"When I arrived ... I almost couldn't breathe. It was night, and the entire place was lit from the inside. Absolutely breathtaking." - Kate
Kate had left the front door open, and the next person inside was a petite blonde. She dropped her three bags and stared at the 20 foot ceiling. "Holy * * * *."
"Tell me about it." Kate held out her hand to her. "I'm Kate."
"Carrie."
"You guys never told me we'd be living in a Castle! When I gave the taxi driver the address, he was like... 'Oh Chateau De... something.' I had no idea where I was going." - Carrie
"Have you seen the rest of the house yet?" Carrie asked, taking off her coat. She was thrilled to be in France, she'd never traveled before in her life.
"No. I was waiting for somebody else to get here. Come on." Kate grabbed her backpack and started to explore with Carrie behind her.
"Kate was like, 'Come on let's go!' I was really surprised she hadn't already run around the house checking it out." - Carrie
Carrie screamed when they came across the kitchen. It was all silver, mostly steel, fully equipped with pots, pans, blender, and food. Carrie loved to cook, so far the kitchen was her pride and joy. _______________________________________________________
"Are you Mariah?" A tall, handsome man with dark skin and dread locks asked the girl sitting on the bench.
"They told me to sit and wait at this park and one of my roommates would pick me up." - Mariah
"I am. Are you Victor??"
"Yeah. Need help with your bags?"
"Sure." Mariah handed him her black duffel bag and threw her backpack over her shoulder. "I guess we're supposed to walk to this place. Did they tell you where it is?"
"It's some Castle. It's just over that hill over there. I think."
"That chick's bag weighed a ton. I was glad we weren't far from the house." - Victor
When they arrived at the house, the front door was closed. Mariah pushed it open and looked in side. "Whoa."
"Is it huge?"
Mariah turned to him and nodded. They walked inside and dropped their bags in the middle of the floor. Immediately, they were greeted by two other people, Kate and Carrie.
Kate ran to them and introduced herself. "There's enough rooms in this house that we can all sleep alone! Four of the rooms have two beds. Wanna go check them out?"
Mariah shook her head. "I want to room with a guy."
Kate looked at her funny. "Why?"
"Because I told myself if I ever made the show, I'd room with a guy."
"But if you room with a guy, then other people will have to be coed, and what if they don't want too?"
"Kate made a big deal out of me rooming with a guy. But I had my heart set on it, and I don't give up very easily." - Mariah _______________________________________________________
Warren and Mike came through the back door. They started laughing when they heard the commotion. "Hey everybody!"
Mariah took one look at Warren and grinned. "Hi!"
"So far, Warren is the hottie." - Mariah
"Mariah is really pretty, but she's not my type. Kate is beautiful. Victor wasn't around when I first got to the house with Mike, he was scanning the bedrooms." - Warren _______________________________________________________
Lori came in the door last. She stared at the downstairs, mostly, and then she said hi. A quiet hi, but it was still a hi. After she had checked out the house, they all decided to pick rooms.
"I wanted to room with Kate. She seemed really down to earth. But then we all decided to just take single rooms." - Lori
"I really want to room with a guy though." Mariah sighed as she plopped her bags onto her bed.
Kate opened the window that divided their bedrooms. "Tough luck, huh? At least you're on the same floor as a guy."
"I don't know what's up with Kate. I hope she didn't just pick me to dislike. Cause let me tell you, I can be a bigger bitch than her." - Mariah
"Can I just describe this house to you? There's 4 floors. Swimming pool and 2 hot tubs on the basement floor. It's cool cause the floor level looks down onto the basement floor through the glass walls. Two kitchens, one on the basement floor. Huge rooms that we're calling party rooms. Pool table, pinball games, gym, on the fourth floor. Bedrooms on the bottom three floors. I'm telling you, I'm never leaving this house." - Kate _______________________________________________________
3:00am 1st night
Mike pushed the button for the flippers on the pinball machine, wildly as Mariah watched. "This is awesome."
"You act like you're 12."
"I know. I don't think I'll ever grow up."
"Me neither." Mariah smiled. "Did you look over there? In that room?" She asked, pointing to a huge stone door at the far side of the game room.
"No. What's in there?"
"Come here, it's awesome." Mariah pulled Mike over to the door, opened it, and let him in.
" * * * * dude." Mike looked at what appeared to be a huge indoor balcony. He smelled chlorine and the room was pretty warm. He looked over the edge, three floors down, to see the pool. "Did anybody else see this?"
"I think so. Sometime soon we hafta jump off this thing into the pool."
Mike high-fived Mariah. "Yeah, dude. Kick ass."
"I really like Mariah, didn't think I would at first. She's crazy like me." - Mike
"At some point the first night we were here, I heard a scream, and then a loud splash. Then, lots of giggling and laughing, and a lot of running around the house. Turns out, Mike and Mariah had jumped off the top floor, into the pool, then started chasing eachother around the house. I really hope there's some adults living here. I haven't seen any yet." - Kate
"Kate and I were in her room, talking, when we heard all this commotion downstairs." - Lori
"So you're a vegetarian?" Kate asked Lori, who was unpacking her things. Kate had already finished, and now she was laying sprawled out on Lori's bed.
"Sort of. Well, I eat meat. I'm kind of a vegetarian at heart. I just don't wear or use anything that was tested on animals. I don't wanna walk around wearing the carcass of a dead cow, or bathe in the suffering of a bunny."
Kate laughed. "So you're gonna have a lot of Herbal stuff here?"
"Yeah I have to go to the store tomorrow and get shampoo and stuff. The stuff they have here isn't good."
"I'll come with you and we can get groceries."
"Cool."
"Kate and Lori are pairing off, Mike and Mariah are pairing off... I wonder who's next." - Victor. _______________________________________________________
"Did you see Mike and Mariah?" Carrie plopped onto Victor's bed and watched him hang some girlie calendars on his walls.
"They're crazy. But they should be a lot of fun."
"Warren seems like he's gonna be a loner. I'm not to sure about him." Carrie stopped when she saw Warren come into the room.
"I felt so bad when he walked in. I have a habit of talking behind people's backs. I didn't think it'd come out that fast though." - Carrie
"I'm not really a loner. You guys wanna come to the store with us tomorrow? Kate and Lori just asked me to go."
"Cool." Victor held up a picture of a blonde woman, with no clothes on. "What do you think Warren, you think she's hot?"
"Eh. She's too pretty."
Carrie grabbed the picture. "I can tell you if she's hot or not." She looked closely. "She looks too trampy. But she has a nice body."
"At that moment, I really thought Carrie was gay." - Warren
"Wait, are you a lesbian?"
Carrie shook her head. "No. I'm really open though."
Victor grinned. "Do we know if anybody here is gay?"
"I think Kate is." Carrie nodded. "She said something about her girlfriend earlier before you guys got here."
"Really?" Warren looked surprised. "I never would have guessed."
"I'm pretty pissed off that Carrie went and blabbed to everybody that I'm gay. For the record, right here and now, I have a girlfriend, yes, but she is my first girlfriend. I'm not exactly a lesbian." - Kate _______________________________________________________
In the next episode....
"Ok, so I swapped shampoos with Lori. I just wanted to prove a point. That getting a shower with something tested on animals, won't hurt you." - Victor
