General's POV:
Walang humpay sa pagtawa sina Christopher, Richard at Erick dahil sa ginagawa ngayon ni Zabdiel
"You're so beautiful" wika ni Zabdiel habang nakayap sa kaliwang kamay ng nagpupunas sa kanya ng compress
"I think he has hangover. Jajaja" ani Richard habang humahalakhak. Wala namang kibo ang lalaking bodyguard nila na nagpupunas kay Zabdiel
Nakatingin lang si Ricky Martin sa ginagawa ni Zabdiel ng napagpasyahan nyang palitan ang tagapunas
"Let me handle it" wika niya. Sya naman ngayon ang pumupunas kay Zabdiel
"You're so beautiful, mami. Please tell me, how to get your attention" ani Zabdiel habang hinaplos ang kanang bahagi ng kamay ni Ricky
"Zabdiel! Wake up" wika ni Erick
"Yes I do mami, If you say" ani Zabdiel at bumangon ito. Nabigla at napaatras naman sya ng makita ang mukha ni Ricky Martin, sa sobrang pag-atras nya ay nahulog sya sa couch. Napakamot ulo nalang sya habang pinagtatawanan naman sya ng mga kabandmates nya
"Mr. Ricky Martin, it's you. Where I am? Ouch my head" napahawak sya sa ulo nya
"You're not in the bar, you're here in our condo" wika ni Christopher
"Condo?!" Gulat na tanong ni Zabdiel
"And why are you shock Mr. De Jesus, don't you want to stay in your home?" -Ricky
"It's not like that Mr. Ricky, I'm just surprised, I didn't think you would came here"
"Maybe because you were drunk. And by that, you forgot your mistakes"
"You said, only weak can disobey the conditions and rules of Mr. Ricky, so it's means you're weak too. Jaja" sabi ni Erick
"What happened Zabdiel? You went on to the temptation too" -Christopher
"Of course I am just a human, and humans are not perfect" ani Zabdiel
"Enough guys, I don't wanna hear your arguments. I just came here to visit Zabdiel, to make him realizes his mistakes"
"Zabdiel I just want you to know you disappointed me, you've disobeyed two of my conditions, did you know what time you came back?"
"What time???" Napakisap mata siya
"Midnight" says Christopher
"What?!! Urrgghh"
"Yes, and if I didn't call my bodyguard to pick you up from the bar, I don't think... But I'm sure, you're still at the bar in this hours"
"Perdon Mr. Ricky"
"You're putting yourself in danger Zabdiel. I don't think what I can do if I knew, there's something bad happen to all of you. How many times do I have to tell... Behave! Behave!! But you're not listening. I don't know what to do to stop your stupidity. I think we should stop this free-day bonus"
"No, Mr. Ricky! It's unfair to me, to Chris and Joel, you're not finish yet Mr. Ricky, there's three of us, you've not yet choose" ani Erick na sobra namang kinakabahan
"That's right, I agree" -Christopher
"We're different Mr. Ricky. Try to choose me to be the next, I'm sure, I'll obey your rules, you don't need to worry about it, you'll be stress free"
"You are different but you have the same attitudes, don't fool me Erick"
"I'm tellin' the truth Mr. Ricky, trust me. Pick me, por favor. Don't remove the free-day bonus" para namang batang nagmamakaawa si Erick kay Mr. Ricky
Napahinga nalang ng malalim si Ricky at nagsalita
"Okay, this is the last chance and it's depends on you Er, if you fail to obey our rules, the free-day bonus won't get any longer. And you again back to your old situation which you are always at this condo waiting for us to go outside. Life is never be fair if you know that, so I expect the next member I'll pick will have strength and responsible to all conditions"
"I know it's me" wika ni Erick
"No, it's me" ani Christopher
"But I hope, you pass it successful, I always trust in your abilities guys, I'm sure you can do it all"
"So, who's the lucky chico you want to pick?" Tanong ni Erick
"He is.... I think it's 7:30, I need to go home, I have more things to do"
"What?! How about the next member to pick?" Bulalas ni Erick at Christopher habang si Joel naman ay walang kibo
"I will come back here soon, if I have made a decision, from now let me rest for a while. Bye guys, see you later" napalanta nalang sila at napaupo sa sahig
Ellaine's POV:
"Ellaine, pasyal naman tayo o, gusto ko ng maglibot libot dito sa Hesperia ng may kasama, tayo nina ate Carla. Nga pala teh Carla anong magandang pasyalan na maaari nating puntahan ngayon?" Si Miley kanina pa nagkukulit na pumasyal kami
"Ayy, magandang tanong yan Miley, may alam akong event ngayon na siguradong magugustuhan mo"
"Sige ate Carla, sabihin mo na excited na kasi ako, day-off naman kasi ni Ellaine atsaka linggo ngayon, magandang araw para pumasyal"
"Kilala mo ba si Stanley?"
"Ah, yung pamangkin ni tita Pamela?! Bakit, anong meron teh Carla?"
"Mayroon kasing foundation day na gaganapin para sa mga magkakapatid at sa mga bata, parang pagcecelebrate din sa araw ng mga bata. Tinatawag nila itong 'World Children's Day' kung saan may pa handaan at mga palaro na magaganap, at ito pa ang mas maganda dahil ang mga kabataan na dadalo ay magsusuot ng mga iba't-ibang klase ng Disney costumes na gusto nila na akma sa susuotin din ng mga ate o kuya nila. Doon, sasali si Stanley"
"Naku, exciting pala yan, madami akong makikitang iba't- ibang klase ng costume pang Disney" ani Miley
"Wala nyan doon sa Pilipinas" wika ni ate Carla
"May mga parents din bang aatend?"
"Hindi pweding sumama ang parents, pwedi naman sa labas lang sila ng gate ng quadrangle kasi nga para lang sa magkakapatid ang party na yun"
"Ahh, ganun ba, eh si Stanley, may kasama ba syang ate/kuya?"
"Yun nga ang mahirap dyan eh, paano? Eh, nag-iisang anak lang sya, kawawa naman ng bata, gustong gusto pa naman nung makasali sya"
"Alam ko na! May naisip ako, ano kaya kung ako nalang o kaya.... Si Ellaine ang magpartner sa kanya as ate nya, diba? Para mas masaya!"
"Huh? Ako?!" Nabigla naman ako, dahil sa sinabi ni Miley
"Bakit ayaw mo ba Ellaine? Sige na, diba sasama ka naman samin. Please" pagmamakaawa sa'kin ni Miley
"Wala naman akong sinabing ayaw ko. Oo naman" wika ko, syempre, tutal day-off ko naman, wala din naman akong magawa, namimiss ko lang kasi si Ylia, kung nandito din sya ngayon sa Hesperia, malamang sasali yun, at ako ang kukunin nyang partner
"Salamat Ellaine" ani Miley at hinug ako, napakayap naman din ako sa kanya
Erick's POV:
I can't stop thinking about who's the next member of our group would Ricky Martin wanted to pick for this day. I was worried about it, what if I didn't choose, I will forever stuck in this hell condo...
I am just memorizing a song of my favorite singer when I heard a loud noise coming from outside, I look down outside the window and I see some children's, they are running and laughing with their cute adorable costumes. And I see all of it comes from Disney
Oh, I remembered something, this day is the World Children's day, I remembered they celebrating it in the sports quadrangle, 'cause they have lots of fun activities that siblings can enjoy, but only siblings, that's why even I really really want to join that foundation when I was a young, that wasn't happened, my sister is in other country, only me and my mother left in our house, so I didn't get a chance to join. I also remembered I've made my own costume of my favorite Disney character which is Looney from, Looney Tunes. Wait...
I thought I brought it here in condo. I'm going to find it in my locker
.......
Yes, finally. I got it!! I wear it and too surprise, it fits me. Whoa!!
I face in the mirror and I love how it looks me. I'm kinda cute... I put the looney head into my head to cover it
Amazing! I have a pretty big ears
How I really want to go outside and see other children's look. I really wanna go to sports quadrangle so bad
So I hope, Ricky Martin will pick me. Por favor, Mr. Ricky
"Erick, what are you doing? Come with me, Mr. Ricky's here" I rush in putting off my costumes and go downstairs with Christopher
"Okay, Chicos.. Now, I have made a decision that's why I'm here. Now is the time to pick the next member to go outside and have a free day, and I choose..."
I wish it's me, please lord
"Erick" I jumped off because of joy and excitement when I heard my name
I saw Chris with his shocked face
"Gracias Mr. Ricky... Gracías tu muchos" I said
"Pero, how about me. Mr. Ricky?" Asked Chris
"Did you forgot? You escaped right? Well that's already your free day, you won't get a free day bonus 'cause you're already escaped. Understood Chris?"
"Sí" he said with a low voice. I just winked at him
"Pero remember what we had talked, I don't wanna dissapoint anymore"
"That will never happen Mr. Ricky, you didn't get wrong of choosing me, you will regret nothing I promise"
"Okay, let see, for now... I have to go to my office, bye CNCO"
"Bye, Mr. Ricky" we said in chorus
"Do you really think you won't fail to obey their rules? How sure are you?" Chris says
"I'm going to try, and I'm sure because, I have determination"
"Oh, well let's see if that determination will work"
"Only if he didn't meet a girl" says Zabdiel
"Huh, I'm going to meet a girl. But I always remembering the conditions that will never fade in my mind. And I'm gonna bring the girl I'll meet, here in our condo. You better prepare for foods and drinks" Chris and Zabdiel look at each other while Richard just pout his mouth
"Yes I'm serious, I will bring a girl in this condo. I will came back here with a girl. Stop comparing me to yourselves guys, I'm not like as slow as a turtle. Jaja" I said
So, I headed to my locker again and get my costume and wore it again
"Seriously? With that Looney costume Erick? Where are going? You're not a kid anymore" Zabdiel says
"But I can be a kid at heart" I said and rush going outside
"We're waiting Erick. Jaja!" -Chris
Ellaine's POV:
Ngayon ay nandito na kami sa sports quadrangle, ako naman ay nakasuot ng pang mala Looney tunes, kasi yun daw ang paboritong Disney character ni Stanley. Asa'n na kaya ang batang sinasabi ni Miley?
"Asa'n na kaya si Stanley? Magsisimula na ang palaro?"
May natanaw naman akong isang costume ng Looney tunes. Baka sya na nga yun, papalapit sya sa'min
"Ate Miley! Ate Carla! Wait and who's she?" Wika ni Stanley
"She's ate Ellaine. She will be your partner" sabi ni Miley
"Hi Stanley" pagbati ko. Umatras naman sya ng kunti
"I thought it was you ate Miley"
"Stanley, ate Miley have more things to do, Don't worry next time, don't you like ate Ellaine to be your partner? she's kind and a funny partner. I'm sure you'll get a fun moments here" tumingin lang sa'kin si Stanley at tumango ito
"Okay, great! So, Ellaine, ikaw na ang bahala kay Stanley ha, may pupuntahan lang kami ni ate Carla, pakibantay nalang importante lang kasi"
"Okay lang" sabat ko
"Don't be silly huh, I'm going to go somewhere important. Behave. Ate Ellaine is with you" ani Miley saka umalis
"Come here Stanley, the game will start" wika ko
"Uh-uhm, ate Ellaine, Can I buy an ice cream please..." Tinuro nya naman ang isang ice cream station
"Okay, but don't be too long, the game will start"
"Okay" aniya at tumakbo papuntang icecream station
Ibinaling ko nalang muna ang atensyon ko sa mga dancers
General's POV:
Bumili ang batang si Stanley ng ice cream para takasan si Ellaine dahil sa ayaw nyang si Ellaine ang magiging kapartner nya sa laro
Samantala, bumili naman ang naka Looney tunes costume na si Erick ng shake. Narinig nyang magsisimula na ang palaro kaya dali dali syang bumalik sa quadrangle
"Alright, kids and their brother's or sisters, are you ready? You better be ready, stand beside your sibling partners, cause the game will about to start after 1:00" wika ng announcer
"Asa'n na kaya yung batang yun? Magsisimula na ang laro o, pambihira naman"
Dumating naman si Erick at eksaktong nakatabi sya sa pwesto ni Ellaine habang umiinom ng shake. Napatingin naman si Ellaine sa tumabi sa kanya
"Ay salamat.. Nandito ka na, kanina pa kita iniintay, segundo nalang magsisimula na ang laro" may napansin syang kakaiba dito
"Akala ko ba ice cream ang bibilhin mo, yun pala shake, kaya ka siguro natagalan"
Napatigil nalang sa pag-inom si Erick at napatingin kay Ellaine, natulala naman sya ng makita ang mukha ng dalaga
Ilang saglit pa...
...
"The game will starts now!!"
"Starts na daw, ano pa bang iniintay mo. Come here" nalito naman si Erick sa sinabi ni Ellaine at walang ano ano'y hinablot sya nito at kinaladlad pumunta sila sa gitna ng quadrangle kasama ng iba pang sibling partners na kasali rin. Napatulala nalang sya sa ginawa ni Ellaine habang nakatitig sa mukha nito
"Are you ready?" Tanong ni Ellaine kay Erick
Napatango nalang si Erick. Magkahawak kamay parin sila ngayon. Napatingin naman si Erick sa kamay nila
"Just stay here with me. Wag kang lalayo sa'kin"
"Okay, attention, siblings... The game will starts now. You and partners will play games, such as Sack race, paper dance, cards and popstickles building, and every partners who fail will be eliminate. And we need three players of partners who left after the four games to play the last game called The Target and the winner will take home a trophy and $25,000. So are you ready?"
"Aye!!" Wika ng mga players
"Let's start with the sack race"
Paunahan ang mga partner na players sa pagkuha ng sako sa lalagyan nito. Dali-dali namang sumakay si Ellaine at Erick sa sako habang ang iba naman ay nahihirapan dahil Hindi nakakakasya sa sako
Dali-daling lumundag lundag sina Ellaine at Erick, sila ngayon ang nangunguna sa karera habang ang iba naman ay pilit na humahabol at ang iba naman ay di makaabante dahil sa bigat ng kanilang mga partners
"Dalian na natin Stanley para makarating na tayo sa finish line" wika ni Ellaine habang nagpupursigeng lumundag
"Go!!!! You can do that!!"
"Ahhhh Faster, faster!!!"
"Jump, jump!!" Cheer ng mga audience na nanonood sa laro. Sina Ellaine at Erick parin ang nangunguna ngayon na nagpapaunahan sa isa pang magpartner
......
"Malapit na tayo sa finish line!!"
Ngunit nang sa bandang malapit na sa finish line ay may nagtraydor sa kanila. Shinove ng isa si Erick at sa di inaasahan natumba sila ni Ellaine, nasa ibabaw ngayon ni Ellaine si Erick, bahagya silang nagkatinginan
"Aaaahhh" naghiyawan naman ang mga tao
"We have a winner now" ani ng announcer
Ikinagulat naman iyon nina Ellaine at Erick at the same time kinalungkot. Napabangon naman sila pareho
Yun pala ay nakatama ang ulo ni Ellaine sa hugit ng finish line kaya sila ang itinanghal na nanalo. Labis naman ay oag-sisisi at inggit ng nagtraydor sa kanila. Labis naman ang tuwa ni Erick at Ellaine
"Nanalo tayo!!" Sigaw ni Ellaine. Mayroon pa silang tatlong game na natitira, at 13 pa silang magpapartner na maglalaban laban
"Now, let's move on to the paper dance. We will play 5 songs and if the 5 songs are done to play the siblings players who remains will move to the next game. Okay? Ready get set go!!"
Paunahan ulit sila sa pagkuha ng dyaryo sa lalagyan. And they place it in the ground. At nagsimula na ang tugtog. Napaindak naman ang lahat na ang inplay ay ang song na Devuelveme Mi Corazon from CNCO
Naghiyawan ulit at nagcheer ang mga audience habang ang mga players naman ay enjoy na enjoy sa pagsasayaw
Nagstop naman ang song. Napayakap naman sina Ellaine at Erick sa isa't-isa habang nakatungtong sa dyaryo. Wala pa namang naoout. Ang next song naman na inplay ay ang Mas Allá from CNCO. Tinupi naman ng mga players ang dyaryo
Nagsayawan ulit ang mga players at audience pati narin ang guests at announcer
Nag-stop ulit ang tugtog. Nakatungtong naman si Ellaine at Erick sa dyaryo habang karga ni Erick si Ellaine. Nakawrap ang mga kamay ni Ellaine sa leeg ni Erick habang si Erick naman ay nakawrap ang mga kamay sa bewang ni Ellaine
Dali-dali namang bumaba si Ellaine sa pagkakakarga sa kanya ni Erick at nagsimula muli ang panibagong tugtog....
.......
"Hhhoo!!!"
Matapos ang apat na kanta, maliit nalang ang natitirang nakafold na dyaryo, anim narin ang naeliminate
"Go!!!... Ho!!!" Cheer ng mga audience na parents
The last song played was Tan Facil again from CNCO
.....
Nang nagstop na ang music, Erick stand on his tip toe while caring Ellaine na parang bagong kasal. Nagsipalakpakan naman ang mga tao at napabilib dahil sa ipinakitang strategy ni Erick
...
Anim nalang sila na natira, na nakalagpas sa laro ng paper dance
"Alright, after the two games, let's proceed to the game, Cards and pop stickle sticks building, Each partner will build cards and pop stickle sticks, the other one will cards while the other one build popstickles, but you're not allowed to help your partners, and the game has it's time, you need to do it in just 1:00. Are you ready? Let's starts now!"
Paunahan parin sila sa pagkuha ng mga cards at pop stickle sticks. Cards ang binibuild ni Ellaine habang popstickles naman ang kay Erick
"Do you think you can do that?" Wika ng lalaking nagshoved kay Erick kanina
"Yes, why not?" Sagot naman ni Ellaine, nginisian sila nito
"I think no, because... We'll gonna win, we'll take home the trophy while you... Take home your tears" wika ng batang babaeng kapartner nito saka tumawa
"The game is not yet finished" ani Erick
Natapos naman ang pagbuild ni Ellaine sa cards habang si Erick naman ay nagsisimula palang dahil palagi namang nasisira ang sa kanila
Tapos na ang iba nilang mga kalaban, apat nalang sila na players ang hindi pa nakakagawa ng challenge
"Hey, your partner can't do that right? He's too slow" wika ng kanilang kalaban na kanina pa natapos
"That's what you called Tactics and of course Stanley can do it. Right, Stanley?" Tumango naman si Erick
"Stanley! Stanley! You can do it, oh, you can do it"
Napangiti naman si Erick sa ginawa ni Ellaine
"Just imagine that it is your 7th birthday, and your mom will give you a special gift if you win the challenge, okay? You can do it"
Ginawa naman ni Erick ang sinabi ni Ellaine
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6!!" Pagcount ng mga audience sa natitirang oras
"Stanley. Stanley!!"
"5, 4, ,3 2.."
"Yehey!!" Sigaw ni Ellaine. Sobra sobra naman ang saya ng dalawa ng makaabot si Erick
"Now, let's go to the last game... The target. The two partners will need to shoot two arrow to the pointed red in the board. And the partners who can do it. Will take home the awards. Reminder: it's okay to teach your partners, but you don't allowed to do her/his task. So, let's start the game"
"Stanley, I- I don't know how to do it"
"Don't worry I will teach. Watch this" shinoot naman ni Erick ang arrow at sakto naman sa pulang bilog
"It's your turn. Don't worry, just remember the prizes" ani Erick at pumunta sa likod ni Ellaine, hinawakan ni Ellaine ang bow at Arrow at tinutok sa pulang bilog. Bigla namang hinawakan ni Erick ang mga kamay ni Ellaine at tinutok ng maayos sa red circle. Nakaramdam naman ng kakaiba si Ellaine sa ginawa ni Erick. Nahirapan naman ang kanilang kalaban at ang naout na ang mga ito. Tanging sila nalang
ang natira
"She can't do it"
"Of course, she can" sabat ni Erick
"Are you ready mami? Shoot!" Eksakto namang tumama ito sa bilog. Napahawak naman si Erick sa kanyang puso ng tumingin sa kanya si Ellaine
Naghiyawan naman ang mga tao at nagsipalakpakan
"We made it! I can't believe" napalundag naman sa tuwa si Ellaine at napayakap kay Erick. Nakangisi naman sa kanila ang kanilang kalaban
"It's just your lucky day" wika nito
"We have a winner!! Come over here to the stage, siblings"
"What's your names?"
"I'm Ellaine Manlapaz"
"I- I'm..."
"He's Stanley Manlapaz, my brother"
"Congratulations, here's your trophy and cash prize" kinuha naman nila ang award nila at bumaba na ng stage
Laking gulat naman ni Ellaine nang makita niya si Miley, Carla kasama si Stanley
"Ellaine, kanina ka pa namin hinahanap ni Stanley" wika ni Miley
"Stanley?!" Gulat na tanong ni Ellaine
"Hindi ka si Stanley? Then who are you? Paano kita naging kapartner?" Walang ano- ano naman ay tinanggal ni Erick ang kanyang Looney head, nadako naman sa kanya ang atensyon ng lahat ng tao sa sports quadrangle
"Perdon, mami" napayuko nalang si Erick
"Oh, We have a special guest. Please welcome, Mr. Erick Brian Colon from CNCO!"
Nagsipalakpakan naman ang mga tao at naghiyawan
"Erick!!!" Sigaw ng mga ito
"Erick? Paano ka napunta dito?"
"No!! He's not a guest, he's the partner of that girl named Ellaine, and they are not siblings, Am I right?" Wika ng kanilang kalaban
"Is that true, Mr. Erick?" Tumango nalang si Erick
"Why are you here? I mean, why did you came here and play? This is just for the kids and siblings. You're not a kid anymore" nagtawanan naman ang mga tao. Nakatingin lang si Ellaine kay Erick nakaramdam sya ng awa dito
"Where's your manager? I want to talk to him. We need to talk with you and your manager"
"We're here!!" Sigaw ni Ricky at Simone na ikinabigla naman ni Erick
"We're really sorry Mr. Miller we will do all we can to fix this" ani Ricky at sinundo si Erick. Naiwan naman ang trophy at cash prize kay Ellaine
Lumingon naman si Erick kay Ellaine. Nagwave naman si Ellaine sa kanya
Napatingin naman si Ellaine sa mga reaksyon Nina Miley at Carla at naconfuse sya sa mga ito
"Grabe ka Ellaine, bilib na kami sa'yo. Naka-apat ka na" ani Miley na tumatawa
