SI: All Ashore to Splashdown Island!

The large cruise ship had pampered the girls all the way to the island. Jolena Gable, bovinan popstar and radio show host for a top ranking AFW program, Chat on the Mat, saw that the future contestants were treated properly, having fun, well fed, and entertained. Theyâ€d need it for when they touched down on the island. The boat reached the small simple dock, Jolena prancing down in her flipflops, bikini top, and Hawaiian style sash. She liked the smell of sand and salt and the sound of the gulls, but she was glad she wasnâ€t staying. The girls had been treated to one last big meal before, sun barely below its peak in the afternoon.

The girls started to pile off the ship. Judy West emerged, wearing a mini skirt over a bikini bottom and matching top. She wore flipflops like most of the girls, a sunhat on her blond head. “Whoa, itâ€s so pretty!” she gushed, looking over the beach happily and hurrying her muscled buns off the dock to splash her feet in the surf.

Martha Sharp came after, far calmer. She wore removable sunglasses over her normal ones, jean shorts, and a t-shirt tied up over her belly. She looked a bit like a tourist as she made her way towards Jolena. “Well at least you picked us out a nice-looking hell-hole to be stuck in,” she sighed, shaking her head and moving past her.

“Enjoy your stay,” Jolena chimed happily anyway. Thereâ€s tents down by the beach if you want to leave what you brought (only enough to carry on your person, no bags bigger than a single purse) or if you want to sleep in tonight, but theyâ€ll be gone tomorrow morning!”

Tiffany Laurance came down the boarding ramp wearing a white bikini with a pair of blue jean shorts over the lower half.
"Wow, this is nice! Hard to believe there is nobody else around." she commented to Jolena.
With no matches scheduled during Summer Splash, aside from appearing in the wet t-shirt contest, the cowgirl had decided to enter the vacation like atmosphere of Splashdown Island. She had been on more than a few camping and fishing trips with her family, and was used to roughing it some, but was by no means a survival nut.
She made her way past the hostess and and onto the island proper.

Next off the boat were two idols, Chigusa Yuuki and Tomomi Watanabe, from Eclipse. To them, this was nothing more than an interesting excursion, since it was a TV program and all, and their presence would boost the ratings greatly. Still, it wasn't like they really wanted to be stuck on an island with no food or water or proper shelter. They didn't really know much about survival. It worried those two a bit.

But thanks to the great weather and the sheer paradise-like nature of this island, neither of them could remain nervous for long. They came off the boat, each carrying a large purse, wearing large sunhats on their heads and long summer dresses that waved lazily in the sea breeze. Underneath, they wore bikinis, Tomomi's light blue and Chigusa's a purple color that nearly matched her hair.

"Wow!" Tomomi exclaimed, "This place is beautiful!" She stepped off the boat onto the shore, taking a long look around at the lush forest and bright beach, and the cool blue water surrounding all this.

"Yeah," Chigusa said, "It really is something. I never thought the AFW owned a place like this." She stepped off the boat as well taking a look around. "I feel like relaxing!" she said, "It's sad that we can't though... I'd hate to be caught sleeping out in the open by tomorrow..."

Tomomi sighed, "It's like they're just torturing us by putting us here aren't they sempai," she said, "Well, at least they let us bring purses. Do we have everything?"

Chigusa checked inside. There were changes of clothes vacuum wrapped to conserve space, suntan oil, bug repellant, a few small tools like a knife and a screwdriver, packets of water purifying tablets, a flashlight, toilet paper, and all sorts of other small things they thought to bring to survive with. "Yep," she said, "Now all we need to do is hope they don't take our survival packs, and we should be fine!"

"Hi!" the outgoing American chimed as Tomomi and Chigusa came down off the ramp. "I'm Tiffany." she added offering a smile and her hand to shake.
"I know this is a contest of some sort, but I really hope they give us some vacation time to enjoy this place. It's one of the prettiest places I've ever seen."
She also looked at Judy, playing in the surf and grinned.
"Well, she's having fun already." the cowgirl drawled.

"Because she's an idiot," Martha said briefly as she walked by, nodding to Judy. She unrolled a towel wrapped up tightly in her purse, rolled it out onto the beach, and plucked up from a table on the beach one of the few things they'd provide for the players: sunscreen. She'd lay back on the beach and do her best to relax. She was a bit down that she couldn't bring electronics on the island, but she'd left her job in the hands of some capable people
