the blue plane was going to land on some new island, it was based on a carnival that was once enjoyed by everyone but now turned into a battlefield for a new reality tv season of a well-known series disventure camp.
Richard got off and walked to where the big blue circle mat was, he has to admit he is a bit nervous on auditioning for this show, but he knew he got this, he wanted to do this for his daughter Nicole who was also joining him, they knew they would be the first family duo to join Disventure Camp
“dad this is so going to be so fun!” Nicole cheered as she gets excited to be in a show she dreams of?
”haha! I knew you would love to be in this show with me! I see some family duos in reality shows like Little Sister!”
”it’s going to be so fun-“ Nicole spoked up but she was suddenly interrupted by a loud voice coming from one of the hosts.
“Alright campers! these will be your teams until merge! You are free to explore this place untill four hours has pass where we will have our first non-immunity challenge!” Trevor announced to everyone.
“Well it’s nice to hear that” Richard says to himself as he gets ready to walk with his new team, he have 11 people in his team (well..including himself), normally the first two seasons had 18 contestants each but Richard didn’t care.
While he and Nicole was walking with their new team to their new campsite, a friendly stranger decided to start a conversation with them.
“It’s great to be in this season, it’s different to the old seasons that was shown” a man spoked, Richard looked at him and he realises he looked like he was in his late 50s and he’s putero rican, he also had brown hair.
the basketball coach smiled at him in response.
“I haven’t watched the first four seasons yet! my daughter suggested i should audition for this!” Richard replied back walking with him, the man looks at the daughter and was suprised about the fact she is also auditioning.
”ah so your daughter is also here too, this is a surprise and something new!” The man looked shocked to see a father and daughter duo.
”yeah, if we do a alliance right now i am sure that we will get far.” The basketball coach replied.
”aren’t we already one?” Nicole laughed and smiled at her father.
“Oh well I can explain the game to you if you two want” the kind man says as he got a bit suprised.
“It’s alright, I know the drill! anyways the name is Richard! And this is my daughter Nicole!” Richard says it kindly as he greets himself.
“Pablo, and it’s great to see a coach in here, I’m guessing you are one” pablo greets himself while noticing Richard’s clothing, it reminds him of those sporty coaches
“Oh yes, I’m a basketball coach! well..i used to be one but now I’m retired! I’ll just a single dad looking after my precious daughter!” Richard admits with a smile, Nicole does a wave and a smile.
”name’s Nicole! I’m 19 years old and I so love basketball!
“oh my god, i also really enjoy basketball! it’s such a great sport!” the handsome man smiled back at him.
“I can tell we are so-“ Richard spoked but a scream from a brunette haired man made the coach look to see that he was jumping around while screaming in pain, turns out his ass was poisoned after his stupidity took him over, he could not help but chuckle next to a ginger haired swimmist who also laughed too, Nicole also gasp and looked away.
“i never seen something that big before” Richard admits in which Logan got confused.
“Wait what-“
“I meant his mole”
“Oh really..” Pablo playfully says as a joke and that for Richard to chuckle a bit.
“Yes I’m serious.” Richard smiled back at him while can’t help but admire the lovely person, the two started a brand new friendship in a game and things are going well.
—
As the days go by, the two old men’s friendship increases.
Pablo really liked Richard so much to the point he enjoys listening to him about his life and family and Richard enjoys listening to pablo about his otolaryngologist job.
people made a lot of posts about them saying how they are glad they are getting “old men yaoi” and how the ship is so cute!
Meanwhile Nicole notices her dad was enjoying himself with someone new, she can’t help but find it cute that her dad is finally in love with someone.
—
It was the third challenge and the contestants are meant to be doing a lot of dares to get through the next level, whats new for this season is that they were doing it in a moving train.
Richard’s dare was to shave his hair off in which he accepts..only to back down and was held by Anastasia and Ted, he finished his dare but was a bit upset his last remaining hair was gone, pablo can’t help but find him attractive.
Nicole’s dare was to drink a cup of really cold water, she managed to pass it despite her shivering.
It was now pablo’s turn and he as ready for anything..but this one is a bit..romantic.
“Pablo, you have to admit who you find cute in your team” Emily grins at the old man making him shocked.
“Wait what!? Why!” Pablo says as he is confused on what is going on, he expected a challenge involving his job, not something like this but he has to do this challenge so he wont be on a choping block with his team.
“you can either do the dare or face having to wait some time” Emily replies with an evil grin, Pablo looks at his team and it seems like they wanted him to do it, the old man sighs and turns around to his team-mates.
“Fine! if I have to choose, i find Richard cute!” Pablo says in embarrassment while he blushes a little, Lynda was suprised at this and Richard was also too, however he smiled a bit in which Pablo seems to appreciate, Nicole’s smile was planted in her mouth as she heard the words.
“Ok, I wasn’t expecting that to happen! It’s really sweet of Pablo though!” Richard smiled in the confessional!
“OMG! Pablo really likes my dad, he said it without any doubts! Will he be my new stepdad!?” Nicole expresses her thoughts in the confessional.

the challenge had finally finished and blue team won it, they were rewarded with some items and they went back to their campsite and they all slept until morning..

it’s been days later and it’s just a regular morning, there was a lot of ellimations that had happened but Richard, Nicole and Pablo manages to stay strong together, they even had their own little alliance together.
it’s daytime and Pablo was awake, he was still thinking about what he said last night about Richard being cute and he cant help but agree with it, the days they had spent together really make the two close together.
Pablo never had any good experience with love, he dated this one hottie back then only for him to cheat on him after their arugument over something.
he went to the confessional to discuss about his feelings.
”I..really do care for Richard and Nicole, they make me feel happy and I can’t help but care for them so much.” Pablo smiles and plays with his fingers, however he blush and got a bit nervous when talking about Richard.
”but Richard..he makes me feel some things, i..I really love him so much and I would do anything to make him feel happy!”
Feeling that he was happy with what he had to say, he walked out of the confessional room, only to be met with Nicole..who was hearing all of it.
”Oh..hey Ni-“
”it’s true is it? You are in love with my dad?” the daughter questioned but her voice didn’t contain any hints of disgust or anger.
”well..I’m sorry if this-“
“I’m not mad at all! I’m glad my dad is finding someone!” Nicole interrupts him while being supportive of the romance that’s going on, Pablo was glad that Nicole was accepting that she will have two dads..it would be a shame if she didn’t.
”by the way, my dad is gay so you so have a chance with him!”
”thanks Nicole!” Pablo smiled at him as he left the confessional booth to start off his day, he saw richard sitting down with Nicole getting in a conversation and Pablo decided to join them
the brunette walked up the millers and decided to sit next to Richard in which he smiled.
”how did you slept Pablo?” Richard smiled as he looks at the otolaryngologist with a smile in his face.
”it’s great, feels nice speaking to such a gentleman” pablo replied as he tries to keep himself awaken for the day.
the basketball coach can’t help but blushes and smiles, unknowingly to him, Nicole was seeing all of this and can’t help but smile to this.
“Aww thanks man, if you want we could probably hang out after this show!” Richard spoked back to him while staring at him..romantically.
”I would really like that to happen..”
”me too..”
”you two want to help me get some food to eat?” Pablo stood up and grab Richard’s hand and lift him up.
”S-sure! Let’s go Nicole!” Richard smiled at her as the two left with Pablo.
—
Sadly however after some ellimations…it seems like pablo is sadly ellimated, the girls alliance (excluding Lynda) realised that Pablo was a weak link to the team so they decided to vote him out.
”Pablo, it’s time to go!”
”I..don’t know how to say..” Pablo said as he was suprised and betrayed at the same time, he looked to see the others who also had the same face…apart from Logan.
”Logan!? What is wrong with you? Why would you think it’s ok to do this!” Richard scolded the ginger swimmer
”ugh! Of course he would do this for a GIRL!” Lynda rolls his eyes and scoffs
“I did not do this for anyone I swear!” Logan said trying to fight back.
”oh whatever..”
—
Richard and Pablo looks so upset, they were having a lot of fun together enjoying each other’s company.
Nicole looked at Logan with anger, she knew he could not be trusted since he was hanging out with the girls alliance, she didn’t hate the girls although she isn’t in their alliance but she wanted to stay in a alliance with her dad.
”hey, you two. Is it ok if you walk me out, I would like some company before I go.” Pablo smiled but it was a sad one and it seems like he himself wasn’t good about this.
the millers stood up and walked out of the ellimation cermony to the boat of losers, it was a total shame because they could all be in the merge together.
”I’m..sorry about what happened, I swear I don’t know what had happened!” Richard said feeling a bit angry but he didn’t showed it that much.
”Richard, Nicole, it’s ok! I understand that me being gone is going to make you upset but please don’t give up on me!” Pablo reassures them.
it took them a while to understand but they seem to be happy that they met someone like pablo, Nicole winked at Richard and walks him while waving at Roberto and saying goodbye.
and now it’s only the two of them..
Just the two of them..

“Richard, I wanna thank you for being by my side no matter what, I watched this show before and it’s a shame that a wasted polential like us had our moments gone early.” pablo goes on while placing his hands on to Richard’s hands.
”but I will be waiting for you when you get ellimated.” pablo finished his final words, he was waiting for a response from Richard…
”Pablo…I really love you so much, every day I feel something wanting to tell you this and I don’t give a damn if we aren’t popular as those other couples.” Richard admits and then he leans to give pablo a kiss in the cheek.
”haha, is that really a kiss?” the Puerto Rican man joked with him.
”oh give it a rest already” Richard laughs a bit and gave him a kiss in the lips suprising the other man before he kisses back and placed his hands onto Richard’s shoulders.
their lips were smooching while the seas moves and the night sky is glowing, this was true love and something that they experienced together.
after some seconds, Pablo and Richard parted away and the two exchange numbers to chat after the show and pablo got on the boat and leaves.
—
after the show the two got together and started talking about their experiences in the show, they really love each other as a family and they learnt a lot about each other.
they will always be the Millers no matter what.
