				Month after month she had waited for this moment. Like nobody else she knew how important it was to have the right characters in a movie. In a reality show, it was even more import to have the right characters. Ruxandra had invited around fifty international celebs and only 10 could be on her show. She hoped the most interesting would show up and would be tempted to participate. <br><br>Her huge mansion looked very impressive today. The victorian style building was cleaned and painted, the dense garden at the terrace at the front of the house was watered, weeds were pulled and the lawn was polished for the luxury cars the celebs would arrive in. The mountains at the background and the lake at the backyard made the picture even nicer.<br><br>Ruxandra woke up from the sunlight shining on her face. Despite having a pretty twisted mind, as she proved in her two only movies (both were BIG hits all over the world), nature could still move her as probably the only thing in the world that could. She got up, took a quick shower and dressed herself in a very elegant female blue suit and tied her hair. The maid was baking fresh bread for the celebs and the tables in the backyard were already made. Fresh orange juice, eggs, fresh bread and a large choice of toppings. <br><br>She smiled. Everything was going to plan. Soon her guests would arrive and not long after she would know who would be participating in the reality show of the century. Whistling she walked to the frontyard to greet her dog and wait for the first of celebs to arrive.

				Avril Lavigne was dressed in some of her usual rock star outfits; a black hoodie with a pink skull in the middle, a black studded denim miniskirt, fishnet stockings, black hi top converse sneakers, a silver necklace, and a couple of black and white star flex bracelets on either arm. She topped her outfit with red lipstick and strong attractive mascara. <br><br>Avril finally reached Ruxandra's mansion in her Diablo Lumbarghini. She drove through the gate and the huge fancy mansion was no surprise to her given the famous work Ruxandra presented in her two movies that were a huge success. Avril smiled as she admired Ruxandra's style of decorating the garden and lawn. She finally parked her car in the first empty spot she found, turned off the engine, opened the door and got off the car looking around for somebody to guide her in or to where Ruxandra is at least.<br><br>Avril received Ruxandra's invitation a few months back and she was excited by the whole idea. It seemed something new and interesting and could be a huge step in Avril's career to take part in this challenging reality show. She is thought of as bratty and big-mouthed, actually, she is, and she does not care. The script seemed exciting and her challenging nature made her attracted to the idea of the show where she wants to be there, fight till the end and win...&nbsp;

				" I'm Justin Timberlake, what do you mean my fan base is dropping off? What about those cameo's I did on those SNL soongs? Yeah, yeah, whatever man. Look, I wasn't sure about it, but I've got this invite. Yeah, the reality show thing. Nah, I'm still in it. It'll get me some air time and bam, I'm bringing sexy back, is back. Alright, we'll talk."<br><br>That was two months ago, he had talked his agent into setting everything up and now he was in a limo on his way to the mansion to start things off. He was rather excited by the prospect of doing the show with Ruxandra. Who knows, if he left her with the right impression, maybe he could land a role in her next film. He could pull off an international roll.<br><br>The limo stopped in front of the mansion and JT lowered his window a bit, looking out at the mansion, tilting his head a bit to get the whole picture. Then, he stepped out. Big smile on his face, dark shades on, and the cleanest, whitest clothes he had available. Including a white fedora.

				Brad Pitt was riding in his limo as his driver was taking him to the mansion. Time to earn another million dollars just by being here. How many fans I got, One million, two million. This acting job is going to be a piece of cake and Brad Pitt ran his hand through his fifty grand hair cut. While Brat Pitt was enjoying the view outside, his BlackBerry rang. Brad Pitt picked it up and what do you know, it was his lover Angelina. "Hey baby." Brad Pitt said with a smile on his face. "Yeah.... OK.... Sure no problem.... Yeah I will make sure you will get to see the preview first...... Alright baby... Love you too...Buh bye." Brad said then ending the phone call. "Hopefully this will not take too long, I can not keep my lover waiting, you know what I mean Jack." Brad said referring to his driver. <br><br>"Yes sir I do." Jack said "Here we are sir." Jack said as he pulled in front of the mansion. <br><br>Brad waited as the limo pulled to a stop. Brad stepped out of the limo as soon as Jack opened the door. "Best of luck to you sir." Jack said as he stepped out of the limo. "Thanks Jack, Take care of your self. " Brad ended the conversation as he saw his limo driver drive off. Time to shine as Brat ran his fingers through his hair and proceeded towards the mansion.

				Ruxandra never really liked Brad Pitt. The only reason she invited him was his numbers. Movies he made, were hits. And that is what she wanted.<br><br>"I'll tell you everything when the others are here so that I will only have to tell it once, and not 50 times," she told all the guests that arrived and told them to go and sit in the garden while waiting for the others.<br><br>She showed Brad, Justin and Avril to the yard and the laid tables. <br>"Please leave something for the last one. She should be here within not too long."<br><br>Ruxandra had barely completed her sentence when she heard the doorbell. <br>"Speaking of the devil," she said and walked to the door, leaving her guests in the huge garden.<br><br>---------------------------------<br><br>Keira Knightley had travelled from the UK to this mansion. She liked the idea of the real life soap on a boat so she decided to come. The house was absolutely humongous.<br>"She must have made a fortune with those few movies she made," Keira told her driver when he turned the car onto the driveway. <br><br>She got out and walked up the frontdoor.<br><br>Ruxandra opened and let her in.<br>"Hey you, you look stunning as always," was the comment of the director. <br>Keira smiled and followed Ruxandra to the garden. She greeted the others and sat down on the table with the others.

				Avril was not impressed by the cold reception Ruxandra gave her, there was nothing to like about it. Maybe it was normal for some, but not for this bratty big-mouthed rock star. She looked at Ruxandra and nodded her head walking to the garden, and being the first to arrive, she picked the seat that had its back to the pool and infront of her was the entrance to the garden so she could see everyone as soon as they came. She awaited to see who will join her, and while doing so, she decided not to give much attention to the welcome given by Ruxandra. She thought that she is already here, and she will take part no matter what. The pay was too good to reject the offer just from the first impression she had of Ruxandra.<br><br>Avril smiled as her singing colleague entered and greeted him with a smile and a handshake. They chatted about their new albums and how they like each others styles. They met a lot of times, while winning awards, parties ...etc. They are kind of familiar to seeing each other. Not long, Brad came in. It was the first time Avril meets him, she stood up and shook hands with him. He looked too self-confident and cocky. She looked at him sit then continued to chat with Justin. She preferred to chat about music than about the idea of the show Ruxandra is hosting, she did not want to seem over excited, but from inside she was thinking how much fun it would be to kick these two hot boys' asses by winning in the show.<br><br>A few minutes later, Keira and Ruxandra came. Avril gave both a look; the look to Ruxandra was fast and shows some kind of surprise at how nice she is with Keira while she was too un-warm with her, while the look at Keira was more of a look from a girl to girl who have completely different styles and tastes, a look of <em>'oh! another one of those'</em>. Keira was elegant and her style was too fancy for Avril's more casual street rock star style. But despite of that, she smiled and greeted her, she had nothing against her or any of the others. She was just building first impressions...

				Justin couldn't help but stay a few steps behind everyone else and take a nice long look at the wonderful curves on both Ruxandra and Avril as they walked. One classy and professional, the other bratty little punk girl. Reminded him a bit of Christina back when she first hit the scene. And as far south as Britney's innocent persona went, he could only guess that the little punk girl had nowhere to go but up. He caught himself staring and broke away in time for Ruxundra to turn around and offer them all food.<br><br>He made a quick assessment of Brad and then turned back to Avril. He nodded and smiled, chatting casually about their respective albums. He could tell she was chatting him up to avoid Brad and talking about the show, an he didn't really mind. He wasn't particular clear on the objective of the show. Definitely not a dating game, well maybe. Brad was dumb enough to cheat on Jennifer Aniston, why wouldn't he cheat on Angelina. That remained to be seen, meanwhile back to idle chitchat.<br><br>When Ruxandra returned with Keira, Justin's jaw dropped and his sunglasses almost fell off his face. He should have guessed that Brad wouldn't be the hottest star on the boat, but it hadn't occurred to him who might be showing up. He wiped his sleeve across his face, shut his jaw and adjusted his shades again. He gave Avril a pat on the leg and a nod, trying to politely excuse himself, and moved to introduce himself to Keira. "Ashante Mademoiselle.

				When Ruxandra had shown Keira her seat she left the garden to get some paperwork from her office, taking her time to get the four celebs chat and get to know each other.<br><br>---<br><br>Justin was the only one who stood up. Having just had a long trip from the UK, she just wanted some food. When Justin greeted her in an overly charming way and in what she thought to be French she gave him her best British "What?". She was polite enough to give him three kisses and did the same to Brad but how to greet a punk girl? Not knowing what to do she just waved at Avril and sat down on the table immediately attacking the food. <br><br>They talked about movies and music, and ate and drink until Ruxandra came back a good 15 minutes later with a bunch of papers in her hands.<br><br>---<br><br>"Avril, wonderful to have you here. You're an enrichment to the show. Welcome. Justin, one can never have enough good looking men aboard. Welcome to you too." <br><br>Although she was Romanian and only lived in the US for three years her English was fluent and almost without any accent.<br><br>"Brad, happy to see you are willing to be alone from wife and children for a good period of time. The girls will love the show now. Welcome. Keira, well no words can describe how thrilled I am to have you here and as Avril you are an enrichment to the ship. Welcome to you too."<br><br>She hated formalities but she know that in order to have them sign the contracts it had to be done. Ruxandra took a chair and sat at the topside of the table, laying the papers in front of her. <br><br>"I'm sure you all want to know what you are about to sign," she smiled at them, "so allow me to explain."<br><br>Taking a deep breath she sat up and leaned on her elbows on the table. <br><br>"You will be put on a luxury ship of which I have a picture," she took out four pictures and gave them to her guests. "The ship will have a few oddities however. As you can see there is no upper deck so you will be inside for the duration of the show. Fear not because the ship is large enough not to get claustrofobic."<br><br>She took a little break and looked at the reaction of the guests on the picture of the ship. It looked like a stealth boat. All grey and black and sharp lines. On the upper deck was nothing except for what seemed to be a small lounge area with a build on benches. The interior pictures were amazing. Luxurious suites for every guest with two extravagant bathrooms. A few living areas and a big kitchen. On the lower deck was a gym and a swimming pool.<br><br>"As you can see the ship is not a cruise ship in size but it certainly is in luxury. The kitchen is filled with all kinds of food from lobster to macaroni and cheese. All you have to do is prepare it. There are five suites so one will be empty and two bathrooms. How you are sharing them is up to you."<br><br>Enough about the ship. There were no words to describe it anyway. On with the show.<br><br>"About the show itself now. It's basically very easy. You will be put on the ship and you can do whatever you want. There are camera's all over the ship to film you day and night. Ehm the ship will be steered automatically from my office with the production team and you will be on television in 39 countries and you will be live on the internet 24/7. The only limitation you will have is the fact that you can not leave the boat. Obviously the ship has its own air circulation and there are vents to let in fresh air. The waste is taken care of as well as the water. There are no windows in the ship as most of the living areas are under water."<br><br>She told them all they had to know. Her wicked ideas on making a reality show turn into horror, she left for herself. <br><br>"So, are there any questions?"<br><br>

				Justin only had one real question pertaining to the information he had recieved so far. The boat looked great, the food was nice, a gym, a pool. He was sure there had to be some sort of catch, but he figured, reality show. They're going to save the catch for after we get on the boat. So, that left one question, which was sure to be on everyone's mind. "What about privacy? Live webcams 24/7 doesn't exactly sound inviting. No cameras filming the restroom, or below the waist in the showers right? I'm sure any one of us could get more then you're paying for an hour of nudity on film." Of course he didn't know what the others were getting paid for this opportunity, but it seemed likely that his point was valid.

				Brad did not mind the greeting at all. I will be on a reality TV show with these beautiful women. Too bad I am married. Brad shook his head while following everyone to the nearby pool and waiting for Ruxandara saying what she had to say. He smiled at this idea as Ruxandra had. This is going to be the easiest thing Brad had ever do in his life. All he had to do was act that is it. It is what he does best after all. Though it is a reality TV show. These type of shows can make or all of the time, break even the greatest actors like himself. Brad looked at Justin while he is talking. Brad despite what he thought of Justin had to agree with him. "Yeah, there has to be some privacy right." Brad said agreeing with Justin. Brad usually is not like this type of guy but he is married now. I guess I am really on a leash now anyway. Brad thought to himself, but she cant even do anything to me way over here. I can just say I was acting the entire time. Plus it is really a short leash anyway. Brad smiled at this thought. BRad was completely clueless to the possibility of a trap that she can be leading then into.

				Avril sat there and smiled and chatted around while grabbing little bites of food every now and then. She was enjoying the conversations but not taking a lot of part in them, she commented on a few of them and that was it. She felt she was not really welcome by anyone except from Justin due to their line of work, but come on, it is Justin, any female is welcomed by him. <br><br>She kept gazing at Brad and Keira every now and then to try and get a smile or a sign of a greeting from them but not so much was due to happen. She was only doing that because she hates formalities. She likes openness but these too looked sophisticated, Justin too but well, they met before, talked and that is that.<br><br>She listened carefully as Ruxandra explained her ideas, she got the same question in mind that Justin posed but did not want to pose it because she already was feeling that she is left behind. She just nodded and commented after Brad's agreement with Justin "yes, that point is of concern to most of us i guess" then she looked at Keira trying once more to grab something out of her, at least an agreement or nod about this privacy issue...

				"Keira? Got the same question as the others?" Ruxandra asked. <br>Keira nodded and added, "I'm actually not comfortable with the idea of camera's in the bathroom and the bedroom. Justin here says below the belt but I don't like to be filmed in the bathroom and when I sleep to be honest."<br><br>Ruxandra smiled. <br><br>"I can tell you there are camera's in every living area and the kitchen. There is a camera on the upper deck linked to the television so you can see where you are. In the bathrooms are no camera's, and there is 1 camera in every suit." <br><br>Of course she lied about the last part. She had good paying premium members online who would be able to see the bedroom and bathroom cams. But the celebs didn't have to know and Ruxandra was a very good liar. <br><br>"I take it then there are no more questions?" Ruxandra said as she handed out the contracts to her guests. <br><br>"If you sign today, I will show you the ship in two days and we can start the show in five days. I will arrange a hotel for you if you want to."

				Avril looked around at the celebs one by one, Keira, Brad, Justin then over and over again as Ruxandra justified her thoughts and mentioned that there will be no cameras in the bedrooms and bathrooms, she smiled and said "well, that is good news, i have more questions and i am ready to get started. Thanks for offering a hotel room but i think i would have to get back home and prepare some stuff before joining back for seeing the boat and starting the show" then she paused as a question popped up from what she said "about that.. what are the things that we can bring with us on board? anything?" she asked in a confident confirming way not expecting any answer but yes anything. She looked at Ruxandra awaiting her reply...

				"Ah yes, I forgot to tell you that," the news she was about to bring was not going to be liked by them. "The ship has everything you need. Bring clothes and personal belongings. No need for sheets, deodorants or other make up stuff. No laptops, no cellphones, that includes BlackBerries. Leave them on the shore."<br><br>She awaited the reactions of the celebs as they seemed rather shocked at not being allowed to bring their cellphones. <br><br>"Personal music such as cd's and MP3 players are allowed of course."<br><br>"Anybody who is going home, like Avril, please sign the contract and be at the harbor Monday at noon. For the ones who have to take a hotel, I will make sure a limo is at the hotel in time to pick you up."<br><br>Ruxandra eagerly awaited the celebs to sign the contract.

				Avril listened to Ruxandra and she was ok with what to bring and what not to as long as she can bring her own clothes and personal belongings. She was not irritated as most of the others because of the cell phone and laptop, she was not a big fan of them anyways. She smiled and was the first to get off her seat and walk over to where the contracts on the table were. She took a pen and was about to sign the contract before another question popped into her mind.. "ummm, Ruxandra, you did not say how long the show runs for, how long are we going to stay on the boat? it is not even mentioned in the contract..." she put the pen on the table as she was concerned about this fact...

				The contract needed to be signed today. That was a bit quicker then most of the contracts he signed, except for the one back at Disney. And from what he's heard, he was pretty lucky his contract was signed when it was, because now, a lot of Disney kid's were trapped. Then again, he got a lot of information online. With a sigh, he began to scan through the contract, trying to find any obvious red flags. The only one he saw, was regarding death and injury. He figured that was just standard stuff and shrugged it off. It never occurred to him just how long that section was compared to most contracts.<br><br>He made a mental note to google himself and the show when he got back home and quickly took out his phone to call his lawyers. "I can't do the show without the contract, and it needs to be signed now. Any way I can get one of you down here."

				"The length of the contract is until show ends. But do not worry about being away from home for a year or so. My first guess, taking other reality shows into consideration that it will last a few months before view rates start to drop."<br><br>Justin called his lawyers and Avril asked questions too. That means they actually read the contracts which surprised her. <br><br>"Can we come to an arrangement here now about the length of the contract? That way I can add a clause to the contract right now with the duration."<br><br>The contracts had to be signed today because later today she had to send out the letters to all the tv stations that had her show planned. Also the ship needed to be prepped and the website had to go on air tomorrow.

				Avril listened to Ruxandra and had another look at the end of the contract but it did not really help about the time that they will be spending on the boat as it stated clearly 'the contract end on .....' and by that, it means that they might be on the boat or off it, it is just a contract that gets them engaged with the show for a period of time.<br><br>Avril looked around at the others as they started to look worried, Justin calling his lawyers, and weird looks on the faces of Brad and Keira. Then Avril thought to herself <em>'oh crap!'</em> as Ruxandra suggested adding new things to the contract just now. She thought that she should have thought about these things before hand, and she wondered how in the hell her two movies were a big success if her way of working was like that.<br><br>Avril thought that things were getting out of hand, and with Brad, Justin and Keira being too concerned about themselves and their names in hollywood, she thought that they are not going to go on with what is happening and soon enough one of them will withdraw and the rest will follow. Avril stood there silently watching what new surprises or actions will follow next...

				Keira agreed to set an expiration date on the contract and called her agent to discuss the contract and asked Ruxandra if she could fax him the contract. She was tired from the journey and really wanted to get this formalities over with so she could go to the hotel Ruxandra would arrange for them and get a good sleep. <br><br>"I'm okay with setting a date here and now you guys. My agent is now going through the details of the contract and he will call me soon." She sat down again and got herself another cup of tea. <br><br>---<br><br>"Okay so we will set a date when the agents are done looking at it."<br><br>Bah, why couldn't celebrities ever get their own stuff done. Agent here, manager there. Ruxandra hated it and this punk chick wasn't making things easy on her either. Although Avril did not say much, her body language spoke a 1000 words, and it annoyed Ruxandra. <br><br>Smiling friendly to Avril she kindly asked what the problem was.

				Justin gave a bit of a reluctant sigh and hung up his phone. There was no way to get someone down here today. No way anyone would even be able to scan the contract today. He went back to the table full of food and got himself something to eat. "As long as no one else's layer catches anything, I guess I'll have to go with the flow. And I'd like my contract to stipulate, one season. I can understand it going long or not knowing how long the filming will take, but I don't want to get roped in to making guest appearances when this show takes off next year."

				Brad was really reluctant to do this. We do not know what we are getting are selves into. Who knows what kinda of stuff may happen on this ship if just stuff at all. Anything for fame though. What made Brad mad the most was to the simple fact of not being able to use his phone. His blackberry is the only way he contacts his family. He does not even remember when the last time he had to remember a phone number. Des he even remember his wife's phone number. Brad thought abotu for awhile. Nope nothing coming to me. Brad was just listening to these celebreties complaing about the contact. True, that is what agents are After not speaking for awhile Brad decided to say something. <br><br>"I will be honest with you. I hate having to sign anything without my agent. If we is going to set a date or whatever lets jst fax it to them and sign when they give us the go." Brad said smiling. This is true that Brad wanted to get this how on the road. The more time he spend here, the more time he is away from his wife.

				Bah. Stupid arrogant people. She'd show them. Later. Right now she had to remain her calm and give them everything they needed. Once she had them aboard, they would do everything she needed. <br><br>"Okay my suggestion is we do a trial for three months. If there are still viewers, we can make it month to month based contracts? How does that sound?"<br><br>This was really the lowest she could go. Any tv show ran for at least three months and she hoped her guests would understand. She gave them all permission to fax the contracts to their managers, like Keira had done and told them to respond back as soon as possible.<br><br>"If we all agree on the three months I will have an addition to the contract made right away."

				Avril looked around as everybody was in a mess and seemed to be lost. She was preparing herself to leave as things were not going as smooth as she was hoping. She thought it would be a simple dinner, a nice gathering with other co-stars, talking with Ruxandra about the show and signing the contract. But things did not seem to be organized in a good manner, not that she is organized herself but well she thought it should have been organized more.<br><br>She paused for a little and gave it a quick thought as Ruxandra mentioned three months. She thought that despite this mess, the show sounds really fun, and what the hell, it is only three months and the money is too much to turn down. "i am in, i sign my contracts myself, do not believe in agents" she looked at everybody about how they cannot manage theirselves by their own. She walked to the contract again and pinned down her signature before giving the contract to Ruxandra "add three months right here and we are done i guess" she smiled at her...

				"Thank you Avril. You will not regret signing up."<br><br>The little brat had signed without having the three months clause added. Ruxandra would 'forget' to add it later unless Avril insisted on signing the clause too. For now, Ruxandra didn't mention anything about it as she had already given the order to have the clauses to be set up and printed. Now that Avril had signed maybe the others would sign too. Following the herd. <br><br>Keira wasn't the problem, she didn't come all the way to America to fuss about a stupid contract and with Avril and Keira in, Justin could be easily tempted by the two beautiful women. The only worry now was Brad. Having him on the boat would boost the viewer rates off the charts but he had become sentimental. Could he stay away from home for three months.<br><br>---<br><br>Being tired and not wanting to spoil all the efforts Ruxandra had made, Keira took a pen. Avril had signed and what was the big deal about 3 or 4 months. She took the paper and put down her signature at the end before handing over the pen and the contract to Ruxandra.<br><br>"There you go. Could I use the bathroom please?"<br><br>She needed a little refreshment and all the fuss from Brad Justin and Avril was getting too much. The jetlag was really kicking in. After Ruxandra told her where to find it she walked off, hoping Justin and Brad would have signed when she got back so the limo could bring them to their hotel. <br><br><br>

				His team made it clear that he wouldn't be getting an answer today. He was waiting for the others to hear back from their agents, lawyers, hot as hell wives that have them on a short leash. Whomever they might ask. He, meanwhile, took advantage of the spread. When he returned to the main group, with his large sandwich already half eaten, he saw that Avril had already signed hers and Keira was in the process. It happened fairly quickly, but if they were in, he was in. The only things he worried about, were privacy issues. And he was sure those ladies had better privacy clauses then him.<br><br>"I guess I'll jump on that band wagon." He looked around and made a quick jog back to the catering table. A quick fluid motion and he was signed and ready. "Done deal. How about you Pitt? You going to sign or can Brangelina not function solo?"

				Brad thought about this. This all just seems so rushed. What is the point of rushing something like this. Brad laughed at what Justin just said. I guess I have no choice the Brad said to himself. After all I just got challenged. I should at least try it and see what happens. After all I could just quit the show after three months. What is the worst that can go wrong. <br><br>"Real funny Justin" Brad said with a smile on his face. "Alright since I am the only one left I guess I am in." With that being said Brad got up from his seat and walked over to the contact. Brad Pitt signed his name and that was the end of it. He was now legally bound to this show. "Alright that is it. So where do we go from here."

				"Very good. I will see that you are given a limousine to a hotel I booked you."<br><br>Ruxandra made a phone call to the limo driver to pick them up. <br><br>"The limo will pick you up monday morning to bring you to the ship. Make sure you bring everything with you. Because monday will be your first day on the ship. If all goes according to plan the show can start on tuesday."<br><br>She almost sighed of relief when Brad had finally get his signature down. The show was on and the money was coming in fast.<br><br>"If there are any more questions. Now is the time to ask them."

				Avril smiled as everyone else signed, she was happy to be the little leader in the signature issue. She was excited about this show and from the initial idea she got from the script is that it will be challenging and after seeing these other stars around her today she was committed to outchallenge them and kick their cocky asses deep in the ocean. She did not listen to the conversation about the limo arrangements as it did not concern her, she moved to the table and fixed herself some orange juice before Ruxandra finalized everything. Avril had no more questions and it was time for her to go home in her Diablo Lumbarghini.<br><br>"I will see you all on monday, thanks for the nice gathering Ruxandra" She smiled to Ruxandra and waved goodbye to everyone else as she walked to the car and drove home...

				Justin returned to the catering table as well. He had no questions and had signed up to stay at the hotel Ruxandra had set up. Made it so he didn't have to worry about times or transportation, and he got himself room service on the company tab. So while he waited for the limos to show up, he took some time to grab some olives and celery.<br><br>"So, Avril. If this show&nbsp; flops, do I get to blame you in the media?" His voice was almost serious, but the flashy smile gave it away immediately as a joke. It was rhetorical, he didn't actually expect a response to a joke, she was 'too cool'. And as she headed off in her car he gave her a little wave and returned to the main group.

				The limo arrived at the hotel early in the afternoon. It was a luxurious five star hotel and Ruxandra had booked 3 suites for her guests. When the last bit of luggage was brought to her suite, Keira greeted the boys and locked her door in dubio. Take a hot steamy bad in the yakuzi or go to sleep in the huge bed. Not wanting to mess up her rhythm any more than it already was, she decided to take the bad. When the tub was filled she laid her tired body down in the warm water.<br><br>---<br><br>Back in the mansion Ruxandra's smile was enormous. She had just signed four major celebrities up for her show and boy were they in for a surprise. The whole world was in for a surprise. Even those who didn't watched the show were going to see it after they heard from friends and family about it. <br><br>She called a few people.<br>"The effects are taken care of? ... Good. And the secret area's?.. fantastic. Look I want to hold a camera check tonight to see if all the camera's work. And I want them to roll on Monday.... yes we start on Tuesday but Monday will be their first day. The ship sails out on Tuesday.... Okay good I call you tonight." <br><br>Her two films were.. extraordinary and controversial. She even had to proof, the main actors weren't really killed. The fact that one of them ended up in a mental institution was something she kept quiet. This show was going to be the biggest success and the world would forever remember her because of this show. Almost she felt liket thanking the poor celebrities for signing up and help her get her success.

				The weekend she spend relaxing in the luxury resort the young director had booked for them. Reading, getting massages, enjoying the pool and sauna. When Monday arrived, Keira was completely refilled and ready to get the show started.<br><br>Her suitcases still lied unpacked and Keira made a seperate bag where she put her cellphone and laptop in. Ruxandra had a place in her house to keep them safe. Today she was dressed in fancy jeans with a black blouse. Her hair hang loose over her shoulders and the open heels she was wearing completed the outfit. <br><br>When she called the reception to pick up her suitcases, she was informed the limousine had already arrived. A quick glance at her fancy watch showed she was indeed a little late. <br><br>Rushing down to the lobby she hoped the boys would be on time and she certainly hoped the punk girl found her way in time to the harbor. Hell she wished the girl could find the harbor. Let alone be there in time. <br><br>As soon as she came to the lobby she was attacked by a swam of journalists and she quickly fled into the limo. <br>"Well at least I had two of peace and calmth," she uttered when she got in, wondering where the boys where.

				Justin had a small duffel bag over his shoulder, a pair of sunglasses, and the same white fedora he had warn to the initila meeting. He strutted out toward the limo, lettign the camera's snap as many shots as they wanted. He hadn't looked over the contract enough to know if there was some sort of nondisclosure, so he didn't discuss it at all. He just grabbed the limo handle, lowered his glasses and gave them a big grin.<br><br>"Take note paparazzi. I'm leaving the same hotel and hoping into the same limo as Keira Knightly. You'll know why eventually, but for now I love reading those stories you guys dream up about romantic trists."

				Everything Brad needed was in the limo already. Brad and his wife was standing in the hotel lobby. <br><br>"So are you going through with the honey." His wife said. "Yes I am baby. Do not worry. Nothing will happen at all, Brad said as he kissed his wife on the lips. "I promise." "Alright. I will see you after the show ends." His wife said receiving the kiss as a small smile appeared on her face. Brad did not like the idea of lying to his girlfriend but he did not like worrying. As the old saying goes what she do not know, can not hurt her. "Well I guess I am off. " Brad said as he stepped through the doors or the hotel and the door. I guess I am free man. Well until the show ends anyway, Brad thought as he laughed this thought to himself. Brad walked down towards the limo not playing the media any mind at all. <br><br>This show better be good. After all he is losing precious time with his wife Brad thought as he smiled while walking down towards the limo. When Brad got into the limo he noticed that Justin and Keira was already in the limo. Brad nodded to both of them as they all waited for the final guest to arrive.

				The limo stopped next to Avril her sports car and the press, who were until then only interested in Ruxandra and Avril, now swarmed to the limo with Keira, Brad and Justin. Ruxandra had told the press about the ship but hadn't allowed them inside. Pictures were on the internet and soon the live footage was to be seen on internet and television. <br><br>As her final guests arrived, Ruxandra greeted them and had some servants offload their luggage from the limo and into the ship with the explicit order to leave it at the bottom of the stairs leading into the ship. When all her guests were done with their usual flirt with the paparazzi, she took them onto the ship's small terrace. <br><br>"Today is the big day, your first day on the ship. As I explained earlier today you will be free to move around the ship or sit here in the sun. The press will be held to a significant distance so they won't bother you. At midnight the hatch will close so make sure you got everything inside by then." <br><br>After a few more household messages, Ruxandra left the ship and told the officers to move the press back to a designated line far away from the ship.<br>With one final 'good luck and have fun' she stepped into her own limo and drove back to her mansion.

				Avril was getting stressed from all the silly press that surrounded her and Ruxandra as they awaited for the limo to arrive. "Finally!" she sighed as the limo arrived and took some time to wander about and breath some fresh air. She was wearing baggy jeans, a plain white shirt, a red cap and sun glasses hiding her thick mascara, and she had her nails painted red. She waited for the crew to put her suitcase on the ship, her suitcase contained nothing but clothes and personal belongings. <br><br>Avril approached Ruxandra and the rest of the co-stars saluting them nicely and then listened to Ruxandra's final messages. She was happy that they could get some sunshine today. She said to Ruxandra as she finished "thanks for having us here, and good luck to all of you" she looked at them one by one with charming smiles trying to act nicely and give it another try at getting along with them, she is going to stay with them day and night for three months afterall...

				Keira quickly went down into the ship to escape the press. The ship was indeed luxurious and the sofa's and seats looked very comfortable. A huge tv and fireplace completed the spectacular living room. As Keira explored further, at the back of the ship she found the large kitchen en suite to the living room with a very big cooking island in the middle of it. <br><br>The four suites were situated at the front of the ship and the one furthest away was actually a little smaller because of the bending of the ship.&nbsp; Of course this one had her name on it and she dragged her suitcase onto her bed and unpacked the whole lot. Next to her room was Justin. Then Avril and the one closest to the living room and therefor probably the biggest was Brad's.<br><br>"I can get used to this," she muttered as she took the complete suite to her.

				Justin would follow Keira's lead and head into the ship quickly to pass up all the photogs and journalists. However he would toss his things down rather haphazardly and find his way to the top of the boat. He didn't want to get caught up in everything, but he wasn't about to say goodbye to the fresh air yet. He wanted to relax in the sun, before giving up on natural light. And if the press ended up taking pictures of him while he pealed of his shirt and stretched out his back, so be it.

				The whole day was spend by the celebs admiring their last day of fresh air, relaxing and talking about what was going to happen. Monday was spend easy and around midnight they went down into the ship. The hatch closed, as warned at midnight. The night was good and the celebs had a good first night on the ship. The next morning they were all enthusiastic and full of good will. <br><br>That morning however things started to get weird. The luxury breakfast the celebs had together was disturbed when Keira found her half eaten toast full of maggots. Hysterically screaming and panicked, the others inspected the bread but didn't see anything. Only minutes later Avril saw Justin sitting next to her naked, when in fact he was just carrying his clothes and Brad heard Avril her voice as it was Angelina's. Justin then got the fear of his life when he opened his closet to get dressed and a large snake is curled up at the bottom shelf, striking at him.

				The sun was good, especially since she knew this was going to be the last bits of sunlight she was getting in the next three months, so when the sun went down, they spend as long as they could on the upper deck, only going inside to have dinner. It was good food but for the first night they had a simple meal of noodlesoup and bread. <br><br>When midnight approached they all reluctantly left the upper deck and went inside. The hatch closed and Keira sighed. <br><br>"The show's on then guys," she said and sat down on one of the luxury sofa's. They talked a bit and before going to sleep Keira took a nice warm bath.<br><br>Still feeling fresh and good from the long luxurious bath she had taken the night before in her own private bathroom, Keira woke up. Being a little disorrientated at first she quickly remembered where she was and with a smile on her face, she stood up and got into a dressing gown and went to the kitchen. <br><br>Since she was the first to be up, Keira started preparing breakfast until the others would arrive.

				As the morning began Justin rose from bed, slipped into some slippers and&nbsp; shuffled his way to the kitchen. Slippers, half open robe, and some flannel pajama bottoms. He figured he would have to get comfortable on camera at some point, no need to go crazy getting ready first thing in the morning. He could get dressed after breakfast.<br><br>"Morning Keira. You working on something for yourself, or are you the sharing type?" Upon learning that she was indeed preparing breakfast for everyone, he quickly offered to help in some way and started to put out juice and plates and the like.

				Brad just woke up from his bed. Brad got up from his bed and but on a shirt and a pair of shorts. Guess it is time to start the show. Brad stretched a bit as that bed was really comfortable. He did not want to get up at all. Maybe that bed was better than the one back home. Nah, cant be. Brad made his way around the ship looking around until he heard voices from the kitchen. Brad decided not wanting to be completely anti-social walked into the room. "Morning Justin and Keira" He took a seat at the table. <br><br>"Those eggs smell really good." Know we are missing one more person Brad though to himself.
