****Night One part 1****
"You guys, it's starting." said Catherine, as she set a bowl of popcorn on the table.
"Dou, do you think Hilde will be able to make it through the two nights?" asked a concerned Quatre.
Duo smirked, "Knowing Hilde, I think she will quit in the first seconds of her dare. I would like to see her face when she
comes back empty handed."
"Maybe you shoud give her more credit, you never know what might happen." said Relena.
"You have a point there Relena. Hilde has more guts than you realize Duo. Remember SHE brought out the disk that you guys
needed to defeat Miliardo and his army of mobile suits. I say that you should give her the benefit of the doubt." said Middi Une.
Everyone settled down while the opening song of the show started. The group were going to investigate the supposed haunting
of Fort Riley that was located if the central region of Kansas, just outside of the town of Manhattan.
Duo smiled as he saw the members of the group introduce themselves.
"Hi, my name is Timothy Becker of Boston University. I'm 21 years old and I work as a campus police officer at my university.
I believe that there is a probability that ghosts exist and I'm glad to have the opportunity to see if my belief is true."
"Hi, my name is Hilde Schbeiker of MIT. I'm 20 years old and I work as a computer assistant in the technology department at
MIT. I don't know whether ghosts exist, that's why I'm here to find out."
"Hi, my name is Jake Sanderson of Our Lady of the Lake University. I'm 18 years old and I work as a resident assistant at my
university. I guess that I do believe in ghosts and I hope that I don't anger any while I'm at Fort Riley."
"Hi, my name is Sasha Leonowens of the University of Oklahoma. I'm 20 years old and I work as a library assistant at my
college. I believe that spirits do exist and I'm here to prove that they do. Let's see if I can survive MTVs Fear."
"Hello, my name is Mark Brown of Stanford University. I'm 19 years old and I work as an intern in a law firm. I don't think
that ghosts exist. I think that it's just a figment of people's imagination and I'm here to prove my point."

"Okay everybody." said Timothy, "It says that we should turn on the tv and play the video that was left on the vcr."
Hilde walked over to the tv and played the video, while everyone turned around to watch.
"According to some, Fort Riley, Kansas is one of the most haunted of our old military institutions. It was once located on the
edge of the wild plains of the west and was used as a last refuge for travelers and settlers heading out to the wilderness. It was
also used for the bitter campaign against the American indians which lead to tragedy and death. That's the main reason Fort Riley is
known as a place where the dead don't rest easily." said the narrator.
"It's a very bad place to be. It has been abandoned since the late 25th century after another cholera epidemic swept through
the fort. Many people died, including children." said Natasha Angles, a psychic.
"Fort Riley once served as the home to General George Armstrong Custer. Custer and his wife, Libby, resided at the fort with the
Seventh Cavalry Regiment between 1866 and 1867. It is said that Custer's ghost has been spotted around the premises. It's not known
where Custer lived and Quarters 24 was named the "Custer House" when it was turned into a museum......"
The video went on for a few more minutes and wished the group good luck on exploring the fort.
"Well, I guess we start now." said Timothy as he turned to the computer. He clicked on the MTV Fear site and waited for
instructions. Five minutes later a screen came on.
"Welcome to MTVs Fear. Throughout the next two nights you will be exploring Fort Riley to see if it is haunted. You will be
exploring the "Custer House", Quarters 124, the Lower Parade Ground, the pasture lands surrounding the fort, shack # 13,
and Stable #1. Each of you will be given a set of dares which must be completed in order to win your $5,000 dollars. You can quit
at any time of during your dares for which another member must complete. Also, if you quit, you will forfit your $5,000 dollars to
the remaining members. Good luck surviving MTVs Fear.

"Dare 1. Yellow, go to the Custer House and wait for further instructions, green will navigate."
"It had to be me first." said Sasha, a little nervously, "Who is green?"
"That will be me." answered Jake, "Good luck sweetheart."
The group hugged and watched while Sasha prepared to leave the safehouse. Hilde turned around and looked at Jake.
"Well, let the adventures begin."
Jake nodded, he picked up his walkie talkie and started to read the directions to Sasha.
"Okay, Sasha. This is it. It says to keep walking across the yard towards the fort's gates, take a left turn once you get inside
the courtyard. You should see the Custer House come into view about a hundred yards once you take a left turn."
"Alrighty then. Wish me good luck."
Sasha walked to the Custer House and opened the door. As soon as she stepped inside she remembered what the psychic had said.
"It is said that General Custer still haunts the house. Once the house was a museum and when the female owner of the museum stayed
in the bedroom where Custer and his wife used to sleep. She woke up during the middle of the night and saw the ghost of General Custer.
She said that General Custer swooped down on her and that his face came within inches of her own. She felt an overwhelming sense of fear
as she stared into General Custer's eyes. The owner closed her eyes for a second and she saw a vision of General Custer's death and she
could hear the general's loud screams of pain."
"Sasha?" asked Jake, "Are you alright, sweetheart?"
Sasha jumped at the voice and answered that she was alright.
"Your instructions are that you have to lay down on General Custer's bed upstairs. It will have to be done in complete radio
silence. You will remain there until you are notified."
"Okay, but it better not be that long."
Sasha walked up the stairs and laid down on the bed. Her heart was pounding furiously inspite of herself. The room was completely
dark and she could hear creaking and moaning sounds all around her. While she could still hear the psychic's story about the Custer House.
"Could hear the general's loud screams of pain, pain, pain, pain.............."
Sasha closed her eyes and prepared herself for the ordeal ahead.
"Please, I'm here to investigate if it's haunted. I'm not here to hurt you."
************************************************************ *************************************************************************** *****
"Dare 2. Red, go to shack #13 and await further instructions. Green will continue to navigate."
"My turn." said Mark, his face turning white with fear.
"Hey, everything is going to be alright. You can do it." ssaid Hilde, giving Mark a fierce hug.
"Yeah, sure." said Mark doubtfully. He took a deep breath and walked out of the safe house.
"Okay buddie." said Jake, "Go to the left of the fort and walk down a dirt path. Then you will reach a grove of trees, turn to the
right and you should see several shacks. You will enter shack #13 on the far left."
"Gosh! This is creepy!"
"Don't worry, there is nothing out there that should hurt you." comforted Jake.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Mark, "Shit! Something fell on my shoulder!"
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, Okay, I'm at the shack. What should I do?"
"It says to use the electromagnetic field reader to measure if there is any ghosts in the room. It is said that a ghost was often
heard there but never seen. Soldiers and people who stayed overnight would hear the outside door open and would feel an invisible presence
in the room. But when they would check it out, they could never find anything. Once you get a reading of the place you can come back to
the safe house. Place the camera towards you as proof that you have done the dare."
"Fine."
Mark went inside and started to take the readings of EMF reader. While he was doing this he could hear moaning and creaking noises.
All of a sudden he heard the door open and a gust of air hit him square in the face.
"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! F***********!"
"Mark! Are you alright?" shouted Jake over the walkie talkie.
"Something is inside the shack! I just felt it! The EMF reader is going off like crazy!"
"Okay, you can come back to the safe house. I repeat, you can come back to the safe house. Come back buddie!"
"You bet." said Mark. Mark ran like the dickens back to the safe house. He was embraced by Hilde, Jake, and Timothy once he opened
the door.
"Man! That was the scariest thing I ever had to go through!"
"But you did it!" said Hilde.
"What about Sasha? She hasn't come back yet." said Mark.
"No, the website hasn't said anything further about her." said Timothy, "Sasha has been in the Custer house for the last two hours."
"I wonder how she is doing?" asked Hilde
************************************************************ *************************************************************************** ******
Sasha looked around the room, she was really getting scared. She had been in General Custer's room for the last two hours and she
hadn't heard anything from the safe house. Sasha closed her eyes again and felt a feeling of dread sweep through her body, she felt an
overwhelming feeling to open her eyes and look up at the ceiling. She fought the feeling for several minutes but finally looked up.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Help me! Help, heeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllpppppppppp!"
Sasha saw General Custer's ghost staring down at her. He looked furious and before she knew it, Sasha felt a sharp slap come across
her face. She screamed again with real terror. Sasha picked up the walkie talkie and screamed for Jake.
"I quit! I saw the ghost and I got hit! I quit Jake do you hear me? I want to go home!"
"Sasha, are you sure?"
"Yes! I want to go home!"
Sasha didn't wait for further words from Jake she jumped out of the bed and ran to the safe house at surprising speed. When she arrived
at the safe house her face was white with fear and a hand print appeared on her cheek."
"My gosh! What happened!" exclaimed Hilde.
"It was Custer's ghost! He looked at me with anger and I got hit across the cheek! I'm not coming back here again."
Sasha got her stuff and hugged the group with tears in her eyes. They had all become good friends and they were going to miss her. This
made the investigation more frightful and real to them now. They didn't know whether they would last as well.
When Sasha left the screen on the MTVs Fear website came on.
"Purple, you must finish the dare aborted by yellow. Good luck. Green will continue to navigate."
Hilde's heart sank. This was going to be harder than she thought...........
