Survivor: Punk-Rock Style

Our host Lexi was standing outside the busses in the early morning sunshine. The day seemed to be perfect. Not a cloud in the sky, the sun shining brightly. From the weather reports, it would be a perfect 75 degrees. Perfect weather for a scavenger hunt. The boys soon joined Lexi outside the busses.

Lexi: "Welcome everyone! Today is a free day for you. However, for those of you who want to participate, we're having a scavenger hunt. Here are things you could find for your tribe: a small, charcoal based camping stove, cooking pots/skillets, cans and boxes of food, more blankets, oil lamps with the oil to burn, several 2 gallon jugs of fresh water, burn barrels, and matches. Things you could use in camp. Whoever wants to participate, move over here."

For Tribe Punkarocker, Mike, Billie Joe, David, Tony, and Quinn all decided to participate. For Tribe Travelandplay, Benji, Billy, Matt, Tre, Chester, Bert, Pierre and Nick all decided to play. The rest of the tribal members were allowed to leave to do whatever they wished.

Lexi: "Alright gentlemen. All of the items are hidden somewhere in this park. Mind you, this is a pretty big park. There is a small pond, so be careful. Things have been hidden on the ground, in trees, under rocks. Everything is camoflouged. You have until 6 pm tonight. Have fun boys!!"

The guys ran into the park yelling and laughing. The camera pans to the remaining members of the tribes. Chuck and Joel had climbed onto the roof of the bus, stripped down to their boxers and were currently sunning themselves. Paul, Travis and Tom were sitting outside talking. On the other bus, Mike and Mark had opted to catch a few more z's. Lexi was sitting outside on a blanket reading a book.

**TONY'S POV**

Mike, Quinn and I all headed out together laughing at something stupid David had said to Pierre. David and Billie Joe went searching on their own. We could hear the other tribe talking to one another and walking through the park. We decided it would be best if we were kept as quiet as we possibly could.

"Mike, Quinn. Come here. I think we need a plan, a....strategy if you will. What did Lexi say about where things were hidden?" I asked, hoping they'd like my idea

"She said that things would be hidden in trees, on the ground, under rocks. I think something might even be in the little pond. Well, at least pretty near it." Mike replied, looking up into a tree

"What do you think we should do Tony?" Quinn asked

"I'm not sure. I think we should start out with a small area to search. When we're satisfied that nothing's there or we've found something, we move on. Make sense?" I asked, getting a bit nervous

"Sounds like a damn good plan, man. I'll climb this tree and see what I can see. Quinn, why don't you start over there. And Tony, I guess you should start over on that side. You two make your way towards one another then circle the tree." Mike instructed as he pointed out where we should start.

We all got to work on our "appointed tasks". I watched as Mike climbed up the tree. Quinn was looking in his spot and I started with mine. I found this medium-size rock that looked kinda lopsided so I kicked it and found a skillet!!! I was so happy I started doing a little dance. I quit when I heard laughter. When I turned around I saw Matt and Nick.

"Hey, fuck off both of you! At least I've found something. It doesn't look like either of you have anything yet." I said, showing them my newly discovered skillet.

Matt was about to say something when Mike jumped out of the tree. He motioned for us to move on, but I looked back at Nick and Matt and stuck out my tongue. Matt flicked me off as Nick dropped his pants and mooned me. 'Sorry bastard' I thought to msyelf as my group walked to another part of the park.

**CHESTER'S POV**

Bert, Pierre and I had all run off towards the pond. I had this strong feeling that we'd find something extremely useful there. Naturally, my power of persuasion worked. Pierre was a pretty funny guy. Bert was pretty cool too. Me and him have a lot in common. As we approach the pond, that strong feeling comes again. Bert starts looking around one side of the pond while I'm looking on another. Pierre is searching close to the pond, like around trees and under some rocks. After about 30 minutes, we gave up and began searching elsewhere. We were half-way looking, half-way bull-shitting around. We had been walking around when Pierre tripped on something. I did my best to keep from laughing but the look on his face was just too much. He had this look of shock and anger on his face.

"Dude, been walking long?" Bert asked, laughing hard. I couldn't help it, I lost it and started laughing too. Pierre soon followed

"I guess not. I wonder what I tripped over?" He asked, getting up and dusting himself off.

I looked down and saw what he tripped over. As I bent down, Pierre and Bert walked over to where I was. I picked it up and dusted it off.

"Holy shit guys, this is that that grill she was talking about! We can cook now!!!" I said proudly

"We found a box of food!! Come check it out!" Benji yelled

We made our way to where we though we heard Benji's voice. The rest of our tribe, well at least the one's who are participating, gathered around a medium-sized box that was filled with food. Pierre, Bert and I went back to our searching after we shown our group what we had discovered.

We looked around this big ass tree. Bert and I had gotten into a discussion of our.....past and hadn't noticed Pierre had started trying to dig around this rock. When we finally realized Pierre wasn't with us, we turned back. He was sitting on the ground working feverishly to dig up this big rock.

"Pierre, did you find something?" Bert asked quizzically.

"I think so. Help me dig." He replied, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

Bert and I sat down on either side of the rock to help Pierre dig. We had finally finished digging and got out these pans out from under the rock when the whistle was blown signaling the hunt was over.

**NO ONE'S POV**

Lexi waited for the hunters to arrive with their newly found possesions. The tribal members who didn't participate joined her, wanting to see what their coutnerparts would bring back. The sun had gotten lower in the sky and the perfect temperature was slowly dropping. As soon as the last few members arrived, our host spoke.

Lexi: "Good evening gentlemen! How was your day?"

"It was good. I think some of my tribe really got a chance to get to know one another. We're kinda hungry, but we had a lot of fun." Chester replied, getting head nods from his statement

Lexi: "I'm glad to hear that. Anyone else want to talk about their day?"

"Yeah, I'd have to agree with Chester about bonding with our fellow tribe members. We really did have fun today. I mean, I got to climb trees and dig in the dirt and splash around in the pond!!" Mike Shinoda said, jumping in excitement

"Yeah, it was kinda hard and tiring, but fun at the same time. I just wish all of our tribe members had participated." Billie Joe said

Lexi: "Well, what did the members do that stayed behind in camp?"

"Well, some of us sunned ourselves. Took naps, enjoyed the scenery." Chuck responded for Tribe Punkarocker

"We did pretty much the same thing. Nothing special." Tom replied for Tribe Travelandplay

"Except lunch. That was pretty special!" Chuck said smiling

Lexi: "For those of you who were otherwise preoccupied, what Chuck means is that Mexican food was catered for the tribal members who didn't participate in the hunt. Well, let's see what everyone has discovered. If you have something, please place it in front of you if it's too big to hold. If it's not too big, please just hold it. Well, Mr. Lovato it seems you've found a skillet. Very good. And Mr. Bouvier has found the camping stove. That will certaintly come in handy. Mr. Madden has found the medium sized box of food. Mr. Lovato, Matt, has found the box of matches. Mr. Armstrong has found a gallon of water and so has Mr. Cool. Mr. Desrosiers has found the extra blankets. Mr. Gigler has found an oil lamp. Mr. Martin has found a burn barrel and an oil lamp. Mr. Allman has found the other box of food. Well, I hope you all had a productive day. You may take your things back to your camp."

As the tribes headed back to their buses, Lexi watches. Then turns to the camera.

"This is your host for 'Survivor: Punk-Rock Style' saying goodnight."
