Everyone wobbled off the plane groggy eyed and jet lagged and after a long painful check-in procedure making sure that they were not terrorists. They were then piled onto an old bus, there was not much legroom and the seats were covered in dust that rose into the air choking everyone when you sat down or hit the seat but Frank was to tired to care plus he had snagged a window seat, witch was awesome so nothing else really mattered.

He pushed his jumper against the window then rested his head on it his IPod had ran out of batteries about three hours into the flight so he was left to listen to the chatter of the people on the bus at first there was nothing really interesting to listen to just
“Yeah I hear the forest is really freaky, but I’m not scared” Frank guessed this was Mikey, though it could have been Gee uninterested Frank tuned into a different conversation it was the tour guide; Ashley
“I’m just saying that I think it would be better if everyone got some proper rest before we enter the forest, I’ve been there and its so easy to get lost in its practically suicidal to go in there this up-prepared” Ashley sounded truly worried
“I know that Ashley but there is simply nothing I can do, we have deadlines and they have to spend fourteen nights in the forest” Frank didn’t recognise this voice it was of no-one that had previously been on the trip and they had a strong British accent so they weren’t a local but they were far to posh to be the Medic girl.

Frank slid open one eye so that he could see the stranger voice, it belonged to a tall slim woman dressed in a blazer and pencil skirt her hair was up in a neat bun on the top of her head and her lips were painted red and pressed in a thin line she must have been in her early fifties and everything about her screamed authority. Frank wondered who the woman was, clearly not one of the contestants and she didn’t look like a camera girl she must have been one of the producers or something but Frank didn’t have time to finish his train of thought because he was rudely interrupted by a by a girl in glasses asking if the seat next to him was free Frank nodded and the girl plonked down next to him
“Hi” she said
“Hi” Frank replied they sat awkwardly for a minute twiddling their hands in their laps before the girl turned to face Frank again
“I’m Erin” she extended her hand
“Frank” Frank shook it and they both smiled dorkaly as the bus pulled out of the airport car park and they set off to the forest.

At some point on the journey Erin had ended up cuddling with Frank her legs were pulled up onto the seat and her head rested on Frank’s side with his hand around her shoulders they drifted in and out of light sleep. After about three hours they were awoken somehow more tired than before they went to sleep and even more stiff they stretched out and Frank looked out the window to see a very dull car park Frank frowned before looking out the window on the opposite side of the bus this view was not as disappointing; there a few metres away was the great forest and in the distance was Mt. Fuji making everything look small and helpless Frank had a sudden desire to turn back and go home and he guessed Erin felt the same as she buried herself further into him Frank gave her a reassuring squeeze and kissed the crown of her head.

Frank watched as Chloe got up from her seat next to Mikey and made her way to the front of the bus she picked up a mike to speak into so that everyone could hear not that her voice wouldn’t have carried along the tiny bus
“So here we are! The sea of trees awaits! You’re all free to get off of the bus and stretch your legs, but stay in the car park until we have all the cameras sorted and we can start filming kay guys?” Frank wondered how she could sound so enthusiastic with such little sleep as she hopped off the bus with her brother following sleepily behind.

Once off the bus Frank located his bag from the pile of luggage on the floor and stood at the edge of the car park with Erin, Ray and Jez they were chatting about something or another Frank wasn’t sure just what because he was to busy to deciding weather or not to put his arm around Erin.

For the first time he was properly taking in her features she had bright greenish brown eyes that were magnified by her stylish black and red glasses, she had a cute smile and ivory skin her hair framed her face perfectly and Frank thought she looked like a little doll.

He really wanted to put his arm round her and after the way they had cuddled on the coach he should have been able to but something in him was stopping him a small nagging voice itching his brain telling him not to he had made the chemistry of the bus ride up.

Frank shook his head slightly causing the others to look round at him
“Frank?” Ray asked Ray always seemed to be looking after Frank he was a father figure not that Frank didn’t have a dad, in fact his real dad was great and yes Frank was supposedly an adult now but the tours away from home were long and Frank’s attention span was short so Ray often found himself taking care of the younger man.

Frank realised he had drifted off into thought and was now narrating his own life, that was defiantly a bad sign and he still hadn’t replied to Ray who was looking at him expectantly Frank opened his mouth to reply but was hit on the back of the head by something hard
“Ow” he blinked before turning around to see his attacker there was a banana on the floor and a few metres away stood Chloe rubbing the back of her head awkwardly
“Sorry Frank, that was meant for Ashley!” she shrugged and Frank looked round to see Ashley standing to the left of Ray he waved
“Sorry my sister’s got crappy aim” he said loudly enough for Chloe to hear him so another banana went flying through the air and hit Ashley square between the eyes
“Whaty aim?” Chloe sang before running away her brother hot on her heels Frank laughed at the pair thankful that his friend’s concentration was off of him everyone slipped back into easy conversation and Frank put his arm round Erin pulling her close she smiled up at him and a feeling of content washed over Frank’s body.

Around ten minutes later everyone was called into a circle by the posh English woman Frank had spotted at the airport she clasped her hands together holding them at chest height Frank noticed she was very tall and her height was emphasised by the pair of red stiletto shoes she wore they were stupid shoes to wear into a forest Frank thought
“So hello everyone my name is Yvonne Ellery and I am the co-producer for the show in a few short minutes I will be off and you will start filming your trek in the forest, so good luck to each of you, this should be a thrilling adventure that you will remember for the rest of your days, now I shall be handing over to Ashley and he will be explaining the ropes I hope to see you all soon!” And with that Yvonne gave a slight nod in Ashley’s direction and made her way towards a black Porsche climbed in and drove off. Frank directed his attention to Ashley who was now waiting in front of them
“Okay, so guys just a few quick warnings and reminders for the trek into the forest, fist off I need you to be very careful and listen to everything I say it is incredible dangerous going into the forest at this time by the time we reach camp it will be dark so watch where you step most of the tree roots are above ground secondly once in the forest always be in a group of at least three the forest is big and most of it looks the same you do not want to go wandering off on your own and finally don’t listen to a word my sister says as she is a broccoli brain” Chloe glared at her brother and gave him a sharp kick to the shin
“But no seriously you must do as we say the forest is home to wild animals and deep caves and do you have any idea how hard it would be to get another job if one of you gets killed?” Ashley finished jokingly but his words hung in the air sending a shiver down Frank’s spine he gulped realising only now what he had got himself into.
