Chapter Text
"Last time on Disventure Camp! Lexi was still paranoid. Missing Nate's growing fear of change. Caroline talked issues with Brandon out. Clover and Mia were worried about Issac.... who seemed okay despite Reagan being voted out. Joey found out Alice had a spot that helped her mentally calm herself down."
"Mia got hair help from Clover, despite her not wanting. Lexi gave advice to Brandon. Joey and Mia planned their next move. Nate helped Alice work with her indecisiveness some more after the last challenge. And Joey got Alice and Caroline to agree to targeting one of the smart Mints."
"The challenge was a mining challenge. But with a twist. The player that doesn't find a gem will be eliminated! Making the stakes super high. Lexi used her brains, and helped Brandon find his. Issac..... fell through the ceiling, and found him. Clover was Clover and she got lucky and found hers with ease. Giving Joey advice on finding him! Mia found her when Caroline suspected there was more to her and Joey than everyone knew. Mia and Joey tried to keep her quiet, and Caroline found her gem, thinking the two were crushing on each other.
"It all came down to superfan Nate, and Indecisive backstabber Alice. Alice having Mia and Joey helping her and Lexi helping Nate, despite them arguing. But the nerdy duo made up, and found the gem, but..... it was too late as Alice was closer and she claimed the final gem, eliminating Nate."
"Nate left with his head held high, being in an exclusive club of purged players, but Lexi was left broken, like Issac before her with Reagan. Eight are left.....”
“But very soon to be Nine. That's right! Fourteen familiar faces get one last chance. Who will come back? FInd out tonight!"
The Intro for the episode starts up, the beginning using drums, the rest of the music being played on a rock guitar)
It opens to a film studio, a limo pulling up with Trevor and Derek popping out of the top of said limo, before it flies past Emily who's thrown back by the camera flying by as it goes into a film set.
It goes to a beach set, Showing Reagan talking to Clover, who was listening intensely before Issac comes up from the water near them soaking Reagan, who covers her face, looking on in annoyance at him as Clover sheepishly smiles (somehow not getting wet) while Issac smiles brightly, oblivious to the look as Reagan signs, smiling gently.
It goes to the next set showing Buu going crazy, throwing snowballs at Caroline and Colin, Caroline and Colin moving around her. As Buu jumped up, multiple snowballs hit her from off screen. Moving back to the twins, Caroline smiles at her brother, before he suddenly hits her with some snowballs as Buu pokes her head up, grinning at his chaotic energy.
It cuts to a forest set, showing Lucas walking through the woods, before his eyes go wide as he runs the other way as Alexa runs after him holding Lily out, as Lucas runs into Bray, Bray's eyes go wide as he pulls Lucas into a hug. As Lucas looks at Bray who grins back he accepts it as Alexa hugs him from behind, Lily falling into his arms as he looks at the smiling doll.
The camera flies to a sports set, showing Ivo and Brandon kicking a soccer ball back and forth, with Alice, who's gently kicking it back. As Cooper comes to join in, he ignores the look Ivo is giving him, while Brandon kicks the ball to Cooper, both him and Ivo missing the blushes Cooper and Alice gave each other.
It cuts to a city setting, showing Charlotte meditating with Sorcha and Amanda. As Doug walks over to them curious, Amanda has him sit down, showing him how to do it. As Doug gets into the right meditating position, he gives a soft smile to Amanda, who smiles back. Charlotte gently grabbing Sorcha's hand.
The camera flies to show the last set, showing Kenny walking over, and getting annoyed at Mia whispering to Joey who nodded, giving her a mischievous grin. Next to the two were Lexi as she and Nate were looking through his DC guide book, giving her a pen to add more details she could think of, making her smile more.
It lastly shows the teams walking, getting together for a group photo as Emily takes the picture.
On the pink side, Brandon was in the back, pounding his chest with a smile, Ivo right to his left, arms crossed with a bored look. Alice in front of Brandon, gently smiling. Cooper sat right beside her, nervously smiling. Joey in the end, looking to his right confused. Amanda below him gently smiling, and holding the hand of Doug, from the other team. Kenny by Brandon, smacking his knee. Sorcha between Ivo and Brandon, smiling. Charlotte was sitting in front of her, gently meditating as the photo was taken. Colin behind Kenny, a small smile on his face, Caroline on his back, barely off the ground as she was grinning.
Beside them was the mint team. Mia was standing next to Joey, blankly looking at him. Doug was sitting in front of her, holding Amanda's hand, Bray sitting by him, smiling happily as Buu was hugging him happily from behind. Above them was Alexa, hugging Lily happily, freaking out Lucas who was right beside her (For some reason) Sitting in front of them was Clover, who was smiling happily at a butterfly flying in front of her. Beside her were Issac, grinning at the camera, and Reagan who was looking at him confused. Beside the two were Nate, reading his phone, holding it at an angle for Lexi, who was standing right beside him, invested in what he was showing.
As the photo was taken, the camera pans up, showing the title and the logo, Disventure Camp 6: Hollywood Stars!
It opened to Alice sitting on a rock by the lake as she smiled at the ducks.
"Oh back here again? Are you becoming Jade now?" Caroline joked, walking over.
"Funny. I came here to mentally think. Because it helps me think about who our next target is.... and I think I might know who it should be." Alice said.
"Oh. That's really sudden, but sure. Who is it?" Caroline sat down.
"Clover for her luck or Brandon for his strength."
"Oh that's a good point. Because this is the point every choice matters. You're more confident in your choices."
"Yeah. Like you said. It's how we think that determines our game here since it's about the last third now." Alice said as Caroline smiled.
As she grammed some bread to feed the ducks, she relaxed as Alice watched.
"You don't regret playing harder... but you have some guilt over Nate leaving don't you?" Caroline asked.
"Yeah. The last challenge was rough. The merge so far has been really..... ugh." Alice sighed, tossing more bread as she looked over.
"Sometimes it takes time. But us girls are kicking ass as friends!..... Do you want to tell me about the elimination?"
"Please!"
Confessional: Caroline
"Wow..... Alice is super confident in her choices. That's great. Final Eight. We need to be decisive on who goes when, so we can get to the final three with Joey. We won't back down!"
"Don't get an ego now." Emily laughed.
"Us Mcfly's never do!"
Confessional End
"So spill the beans. What happened to the last challenge?"
"Okay...... Me and Nate partnered up. But we talked about the game and such and wasted so much time! And he's gone because of it." Alice said as Caroline raised a brow.
"Why did you guys just talk about the show? During the challenge?"
"He.... seemed stressed, I was worried he was using me for intel... but he was so nice. And this was how I knew he was trying to be my friend."
"Wel that's nice.... but why're you so upset? He was one of the next targets." Caroline said gently.
"Just knowing that it was me or him killed me.... I didn't want it to be that so it's survivor's guilt I guess." Alive said as Caroline hugged her.
"Just remember it's a game.... we can't be hooked to everyone on the other team." She laughed as Alice nodded.
"You're right. I just.... need to get better at this." Alice said as she stood up.
"We're in the endgame..... the Gator Alliance will finish strong."
"Hell yeah!"
"Where did Joey go anyway?"
"He was still in the trailer, the last challenge was tiring for him."
"Of course it was." Caroline giggled.
Confessional: Alice
"I.... guess my choice got Nate out, but he also wanted to do it. I can't let every game move get to me. I'm being true to myself and my brother said that's the best way to play this game to win it. Just be yourself."
Confessional End
It cut to Lexi as she scribbled in her notebook.
She gently bit the bottom of her pen as she flipped through her notebook. She was trying to figure out the dynamics left.
Because thinking of Nate hurt her inside.
"So..... you're hurting inside?" Brandon asked, walking up to her as she looked up.
"Yeah..... and I'm ignoring my feelings and trying to figure out who to target." Lexi laughed gently as Brandon looked over her notes.
"Clover, lucky, super threat. Mia, questionable, mysterious, threat. Joey, clearly cunning. Threat. Caroline and Alice, duo, so they're a threat.... yeah. Makes sense." Brandon laughed as he sat next to her.
"Has there been a saboteur on your side? I felt maybe Mint had one.... but maybe I was over thinking it. Lexi laughed gently as Brandon shrugged.
"I didn't see anything.... but towards the end of the pre-merge everythine and everyone was going to hell so I may have missed stuff." Brandon chuckled.
"So you're still guilty over how it ended for you guys?" Lexi asked as Brandon sighed.
"Yeah. I am. I don't know how to look Alice in the eyes and apologize after what I did." He shook his head.
Confessional: Lexi
"Brandon..... doesn't fully know how to look at stuff overall.... but that's okay. We're all like that. And that makes us all human... and I'm glad to have met him. Because I made another friend beside Issac and Nate.... and it's nice not nerding out constantly."
Confessional End
"Sometimes when you hurt people. WIth words. Best is to just be honest to them and let them know that you know you fucked up, and your trying to make it right, apologizing or just improving yourself." Lexi said.
"Does that work?"
"Yes. Because we are HUMAN! No one's perfect, not even Alice, and she knows that. She's indecisive, and Colin got out because of her." So just trying to improve is a good start if we want to win, let our mistakes in the past just be that." Lexi motivated him. He had one question.
"Well..... what would you suggest I do then. Because when I look at her, I want to be upset.... but she was in the right for flipping."
"Man up."
"And then?"
"And then what you're gonna do is plant your feet! Smack your face! And spill your heart out and be honest. You feel better knowing that at least you got that out. And have no regrets!" Lexi cheered as Brandon chuckled gently standing up.
"I'll try if you try to play how Nate would."
"Deal." She smiled as they shook hands.
At least he was smiling now and not frowning all the time.
Confessional: Brandon
"I've.... been getting better. But I've had to re-examine what I did wrong. And I don't know what else to think of besides telling Alice that I should have done better. So hopefully.... I can make it up to her. I'm playing with my heart now."
Confessional End
It cut to inside the trailer as Issac hummed gently as he was letting himself relax, still lying on the floor as he was quiet in what he was doing.
"What..... are you doing?" Joey asked, looking down at Isaac from his bunk.
"Relaxing..... what are you doing?" Issac asked.
"Hanging around.... why is that suddenly a bad thing?" Joey laughed as he climbed down.
"Never say that dog." Issac grinned as Joey had to hold his laughter in.
"Okay..... so you doing okay? You've been super vacant looking since Reagan got out."
"I'm fine.... we kissed..... we're okay.... made up. So I have no regrets with how that went.... beside her not being here.... but I can't really do much about it." Issac sighed as he continued lying on the ground as Joey gently sat by him, hugging his knees as he looked down at Issac.
"So.... I have a question.... if you don't want to answer this, You don't have to, but I would like to ask."
"Sure, I have some knowledge. Not as much as others. But some." Issac grinned as Joey sheepishly rubbed his head.
"What does Mia like? He asked as Issac sat up, surprised.
Confessional: Issac
"Is he asking for dating advice? My dad always said to himself..... but I don't really know Joey.... so screw it, I'm gonna learn more about him with this conversation! Better than thinking about my feelings."
"Wait, what was that last part?"
"Nothing!" Issac laughed.
Confessional End
"When did you suddenly get interested in her romantically? Usally it takes longer then a month to get that deep in love"
"It's not like that at...... You know what that means?"
"Yes. I know how we're born."
"I honestly expect you to say stork."
"I'm quirky yes, but not that quirky. Anyway.... Mia is standoff ish. We never got her to be super open. But she mentioned some stuff. She loves dancing.... but still doesn't go into it. Issac said with a shrug as Joey laughed. "Uh.... but she also mentioned before that she loved Manga.... not which one...... I don't want to be to pushy with anyone..... I can be a bit much." Issac laughed gently.
"A girl of many secrets...... wow. It looks like you at least watched your team well to know them well.... I respect that."
"Mom raised me to treat others how I want to be treated..... unless they were mean to me first, but because she uh........... passed..... I guess I struggle with who I want to be for her."
"Oh....... Issac. You should be happy with who you are.... that's what she'd want most. Parents love it when we become our own person."
"Thanks."
"Your welcome. Thanks for helping me."
"Anything for..... a new friend." He smiled, getting one back.
Confessional: Joey
"So I was asking Issac for advice. Him and Reagan kissed, and from what I saw..... Issac is the odd one here and he got someone AND he was with Mia for longer than me. So I'm looking for him for advice."
"Oh..... hello Casolnova."
"QUIET!"
Confessional End
It cut to Clover as she was humming gently as she was stirring something in a bowl as she sat by the trailer as Mia walked over looking at her in confusion at whatever she was doing.
"Clover.... what the hell is that?"
"Oatmeal. With diced peaches, apples, banana slices and berries." Clover grinned as Mia blinked.
"That sounds so strange to eat..... and yes I believe you when you say it's real." Mia said as she sat by her.
"My dad eats this every morning when he wants fruit. It's soothing to eat." Clover said as Mia nodded.
"Are you okay..... you.... seemed out of it during the last challenge. I.... guess I worried a little." Clover said as Mia laughed.
"Fine. Why would you say I looked out of it?"
"When you all came out of the cave, your face was all red and you seemed to be thinking hard about something and.... I guess you kept glancing at Joey." Clover said.
"Your overthinking things Clover. Trust me If there was anything there, everyone would know."
"But you hid your emotions well."
"Fuck your right." Mia said.
As Clover ate her mixture, she smiled happily at her.
Confessional: Clover
"So she does like Joey? Or hate him? I can't understand Mia's emotions sometimes..... she's always flipping it every second..... makes her funny to talk to. But.... I wish I could help her with these emotions."
Confessional End
"I don't want you.... holding your emotions back. Being this closed off feels awful." Clover said as Mia paused from her food.
"It does...... closing myself off. Been doing it for as long as I can remember." Mia said blankly.
"If you have someone you trust enough. Then you should be honest to them and tell them that. Me, Issac, Lucas or even Joey."
"Me and Joey aren't close."
"If you weren't you wouldn't have responded like that." Clover smirked at Mia.
"Oh you! I hate when people do that!" Mia glared away.
"Boys find it cute.... that's what they told me." Clover said as Mia sighed.
"Okay.... so I'm scared. Scared of being hurt or this not mattering."
"Just remember. Ivo was mean, he got out. We all love those we can understand more." Clover stood up smiling happily.
"I don't think that would work. I.... wanna win."
"Everyone does. But having fun is something else you need to think about!~" Clover sang as she finished her food.
"Fun isn't something one thinks of when you plan out who's threat's."
"Fun isn't something one considers when they close themselves off."
"Okay you funny little smartass." Mia said, Clover giggling.
Confessional: Mia
"Okay. So maybe I had a downfall last challenge. And Joey was the one running our team..... but he did really well...... look at me. Crushing on the loud mouth, who'd see that coming day one?"
"You.... gonna take the footage?" Emily asked.
"Nah. Why bother..... I'm not gonna keep denying it, especially after the last challenge."
Confessional End
It cut to a limo driving down the road like at the start of the season, but just one limo this time with the fourteen eliminated players in the limo looking out the window.
As Reagan was sitting legs crossed, writing in her sketchpad, she looked up to see Colin glancing down at it with some curiosity as she smiled at him.
"So...... you into art?"
"Define art." Colin chuckled.
"Drawing, painting, writing, filming, all that kind of art I guess." Reagan shrugged as Colin nodded gently.
"Well I do videos. Mostly unscripted because it's more real."
"Oh of course. Watching people do stuff that's not meant to happen and you go with the chaos is better than feeling fake..... How long have you been doing it?"
"Over two years...... actually my hair is green because of a dare."
"You're serious?"
"Yeah. Because we got casted, I dyed my hair green. If we didn't, Caroline was gonna give herself a mowhawk...... not sure if our parents would of allowed it. Hair dye is different from shaving hair off, especially when it's long like hers." Colin chuckled as Reagan giggled.
"Oh my god I could see that, that reaction would be insane because they wouldn't want to see that.... adults are one thing."
"Well..... are you nervous about the comeback?"
"I guess a little. I have thirteen other people so the odds aren't great..... but I'm just going with the flow. At this point I'd rather my last bow be me having fun and just....." She paused, stuck on her words.
"Living life without any weights holding you down?"
"Yeah! That! Because I got so angry and annoyed at times.... How do you stay calm after everything?"
"Because it's our age here's something our dad taught me and Caroline. We're young. We have all the time in the world to fully decide what we want. Don't stress out over every little thing. Just....... live and enjoy this stuff while you have it."
"Sounds like my dad....." Reagan laughed gently.
"Just because you're having fun, however." Colin started.
"Don't let anything stop you from playing the game. Don't worry. I'm playing to win this challenge."
"Good. Becuase...... winning isn't fun if there's no challenge." Colin smirked as Reagan fake gasped.
"Oh, making it harder for yourself for a challenge? I'm impressed." She laughed as she finished her sketch.
Colin smiled at seeing it.
Confessional: Reagan
"So..... I wasn't expecting him to be like that. He has so much personality.... makes me wish we were on the same team together.... but dear good of everyone here, he's playing to win without being an ass..... I kinda respect him for that, he's like his sister."
Confessional Change: Colin
"Oh yeah. She is a girl with a temper. But I love people with that energy. I mean look at me and Caroline, we have that energy and we're synced up perfectly. So I will never fight back against that. Makes it a harder challenge."
Confessional End
It cut to Ivo and Sorcha as the two were in a small conversation. About little family traditions they have..... it was started by Ivo surprisingly.
"We make desserts for people we like. Haven't done it myself in a while because well I'm a nurse." She laughed as Ivo chuckled gently but nodded.
"I get that. Being a nurse isn't easy. I told my sister that medical school is a long and tough process."
"It was.... but I'm proud of getting to this point.... and I miss the hospital. I came here to get away from it and now I miss it."
"Hey. It's not wrong of you to have those feels. It just means you got what you came for." Ivo said as Sorcha glanced at Amanda and smiled.
"I did..... and I don't regret it..... but speaking of stuff with families. What do you do with your sisters?" Sorcha asked.
"Oh it's an old family trantion..... we make Russian nesting dolls."
"Russian nesting dolls? Really?"
"We love making small to big, especially when we make bigger ones. We get to make themed nesting dolls that get smaller and smaller."
"Never knew that."
"Should have been more vocal. You were right, being a crabby ass all the time wasn't smart....... I sometimes just get into it." Ivo sighed gently as he ran his hand through his hair as Sorcha chuckled.
"Hey. We all share in time when we're ready. If you're happy with your family traditions but want to keep it hidden.... do what you want." Sorcha said as Ivo nodded gently.
"Are you gonna play hard in the challenge today?"
"Yeah. I want to have a second chance. So I'm gonna be trying my hardest. Are you gonna be trying despite it possibly making you go backwards?"
"I.... don't think I will go backwards.... I've talked with Charlotte. And she helped with the stress I've had. So I think I'll be fine as long as I just focus on myself."
"And not being too prickly?"
"Never heard that word before. But sure. Let's go with that word." Ivo shrugged as Sorcha laughed.
"I hope you and Sorcha talk out what happens if you both are close to winning."
"We have..... may the best girl win is what we agreed."
"As long as you have a plan." He chuckled gently as she smiled.
"Nerves are still there."
"Yeah, they always will be."
Confessional: Sorcha
"Okay, so yes. In the game Ivo was a dick. But the last week with him around..... I don't know many. He was different, less of a hardass. We're not best friends, but I saw more of him then I did while we were playing together. Color me shocked."
Confessional Change: Ivo
I would say my time post elimination would be hard...... but after getting ragged on slightly, everyone was willing to not be agressive..... Amanda really ran the team. Makes me not regret getting her out. She was dangerous. But she's growing more every day."
Confessional End
It cut to Amanda and Kenny as Amanda was flipping through his joke book. Chuckling at every few jokes she read. Finding amusement in the humor he was making as he grinned at her nodding.
"I see you found a great balance of puns that aren't insulting styles. That's good." She nodded.
"I wanted to make Clover laugh next time I saw her." Kenny smiled as Amanda laughed.
"Well with the humor you're writing here, I think you're making a great use of your free time while we wait for this." She nodded as Kanny got his joke book back.
"So....... how do you feel about the possibility of germs being involved with the challenge? I think it's gonna happen if the message we received was right on that." Kenny said as Amanda nodded, sighing gently as she thought about this too.
"I'm gonna have to be ready for it. I can't just freak out and lose my chance. I learned stuff. And nothing related to germs is my goal. I found my evolution here!" Amanda said as Kenny laughed gently.
"You using how Nate described it now? He asked.
"Yes. Because it's true. Look at past seasons and you'll see it there too." Amanda said as Kenny nodded.
"That's fair.... I'm just super nervous with how it's gonna go.... I think I'm gonna be failing really easily." Kenny sighed.
"Hey. Don't just think that. We all have a chance Kenny. Don't throw that away because you think you won't win."
I still don't know...... I'm far from the strongest."
"Anything can happen. Remember. Colin surprised Brandon despite not being as built as him."
That's true......" Kenny laughed, remembering when Colin told him that story. He couldn't believe COlin almost one in arm wrestling. That was something that was replay worthy.
"I guess you're right. But...... Please don't just throw the challenge at me." Kenny gently said as Amanda nodded.
"I won't. I want to win too. But you won't see me throwing our friendship away. I'm being myself."
"You mean playing CLEAN!" Kenny grinned as he smacked his knee as Amanda snickered a little.
"You're on fire today! Hopefully you're as great at the challenge as you are at making puns." Amanda said as Kenny grinned.
"And if we lose, we go out knowing we at least tried." Amanda grinned.
"One hundred percent." Kenny smiled. The two fist bumping.
Confessional: Kenny
"So the odds of the..... uh........ fuck! I didn't get anything today. The odds of me winning aren't great. But the applause for my shining moment or absolute bomb will be great! Because in the end someone has to bomb!" He grinned, smacking his knee.
"Yay. More jokes." Emily said.
"Thanks. I'm here all day!"
Confessional Change: Amanda
"So today's all about what we as individuals can do. It may make my chances harder depending on what it is..... but I've found myself out here, and I'm not going out without showing what Miss Cleaner can do!"
Confessional End
It cut to Alexa and Cooper, both reading a comic in a sense as Cooper glanced at the giggling girl and blinked at what he saw.
"Is that a tiny puppet..... crawling into a guy's mouth?" Cooper asked as Alexa giggled.
"It is." She said as Cooper's mouth dropped as she flipped the page.
"The hell are you reading?" He asked as she showed the cover and he mentally face palmed.
"I should have known it was Five night's at freddy's that's up your alley. Killer animatronics, horror..... violence."
"Hey! It's not that black adn white..... l like seeing it on screen or page. Not real life."
"Wait.... Fazbear frights.... I never heard of that for the series. What even is that?"
"Oh! It's an anthology series. Each book has three horror stories vaguely connected to an overall story that's at the end of each book. And those were turned into graphic novels..... which I'm reading. But then I would have to go into the Tales from the pizzaplex, another series of similar design BUT all set in a mega mall themed after freddy's." Alice explained.
"Wait, the mall from Security breach?"
"Oh so you know that!" Alexa laughed.
"Duh! I'm a nerd."
"Well this series also introduced more of the Mimic's story overall, so it's really important." Alexa grinned as she looked at Cooper's comic.
"Oooh! Symbiote spider-man. Before he transforms into Venom.... well the symbiote part. Not spider-man." Alexa grinned.
"You like him?"
"The movies are okay. Spider-man 3 was.... no. Especially if the story of how the original draft was gonna go."
"Or lordy.... you’re telling me you have that statue."
"Na. I'd make it!" Alexa giggled as she hugged Lily.
"Yeah..... I can see that.... nervous about the challenge?" Cooper asked.
"I'm just going into it with the mindset to be myself. You want Superman to go superman go right ahead, I'll cheer the chaos on." Alexa grinned as Cooper laughed.
"I wish we were on the same team. It would have been nice to see what you like more besides horror and.... scaring people."
"When this challenge is over we can talk more!"
"You.... think neither of us will win?"
"It's a two in fourteen chance. Better to have a plan B."
"Fair. I'm not letting anything stop me, even if I fail again and again."
"That's the spirit! We'll win this!"
"Or get out hard trying to."
"Exactly!"
Confessional: Aleca
"Oooh! This is gonna be a fun day! Comebacks are here, and we're all playing hardball! And Rae Rae finally kissed Issac. So I'm going in with the sole goal of winning..... that's a lie. I also want to have super fun with whatever this challenge will be!"
Confessional Change: Cooper
"I wish we got her on our team this season.... she has that energy. Some wouldn't like how odd she can be.... but as an oddball myself.... I get it and love the energy she can give people.... also Lily is a well made doll."
Confessional End
It cut to Lucas and Buu as both were looking out the window at the city as Lucas tapped his knee gently and hesitantly as Buu glanced over at him as she was hearing the off taps little by little, knowing that meant he was nervous.
"Ooooh! I know that motion well. Had these when I was a kid. Always when I was nervous. So your nervous about today's challenge?" Buu grinned as Lucas looked at her, taken aback slightly at this.
"I guess you can say that..... I have a bunch of heavy hitters...... and just seeing you here..... guilt." He chuckled gently as Buu looked confused.
"Hey..... you voted me out yes, but so did a lot of the team.... I just gave a reason to protect Bray and Alexa. And it worked. I wasn't raised to think it's the end all be all for this. I came in wanting to have fun and make some friends. And I'm getting that now. So I'm not gonna complain. I'm just gonna be happy and play."
"You make it sound super easy."
"It's easier than you think Buddy. Just let the negative thoughts go down the stream, channel the energy and STRIKE!" Buu grinned as Lucas chuckled gently.
"I guess I can try not to over think..... wait did you get that from Charlotte?"
"Oh god no. That was from Gacy."
"Gacy said that?!" Lucas laughed at this.
"Oh my god yeah! He's the hyper one, but he's a smart cookie that knows stuff too.... glad he can show that more and more." Buu sighed.
"I'm glad you and him are dating."
'Hey! You're part of the group now! You and Alexa together, and you two and Bray killing the musical. You're not getting out that easily." Buu grinned.
"Figured as much." He laughed.
"Don't worry, we don't want your soul, unlike Nina. We just need your input on crazy, fun ideas and cause carnage if possible."
"I.... think I can do that." Lucas held more laughter as Buu grinned happily.
"With the numbers off, I think it's us booted players. Makes it more exciting." Buu bounced as Lucas smiled.
"Save that energy for the challenge. Better chance of being able to win if you save it and channel it in at that moment." He said as Buu nodded with a grin.
"You're right....... good luck."
"Good Luck."
Confessional: Lucas
"I forget how much energy she has..... But she was second boot....... or fuck me I fucked that up for her. I need to do something to show her I'm sorry..... you did it with Alexa. You can do this here to man! Just get some balls now!
Confessional Change: Buu
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Today's the day! Second Comeback! I can finally go crazy!~ And no one can stop this girl from doing it! I'm ready to burn this house down and cause carnage where I walk! It's been too long!"
"This is why you left early."
"Maybe."
Confessional End
It cut to Nate and Doug as Nate was writing in his notebook as he kept looking up to Doug something, who was happy to respond to the questions Nate was asking, even chuckling at some of said questions.
Nate wanted a first interview with the season's first boot, even if that could change on the drop of a dime. But he wasn't gonna ruin this for Nate, especially when he was so excited to be asking him these questions. Plus he had nothing else to do until they got back to the camp, so screw it.
"So you're telling me you wouldn't change how you played the game, knowing you'd be a first boot again?"
"If my family really needed the money, Yeah, I would have changed up how I played. But since I came here for a small mental break..... I'd rather help Amanda the way I did. So I wouldn't change what I did. Because she was able to grow so much. And I wouldn't give that up for the world.... but Nate, I do have a question for you now that we're both in a hot seat."
"We're not both...... guess we are."
"Do you regret not trying harder to beat Alice?" Doug asked as Nate laughed nervously at hearing this before he sighed.
"I mean.... if I played harder. I could of beat her most likely... or if me and Lexi didn't argue..... but I went at Alice a bit wrong.... I wanted to understand her former Pink team teamates.... but seeing her get worried at the thought of me using her.... I...... had to make a choice.... and decided to be nice..... hopefully it wasn't wrong of me to go at it that way." Nate sighed as Doug patted his shoulder gently.
"My parents told me to always look out for those who need it, anyone can need help."
"Which is why I want to play hard in comebacks today. Then I know if my elimination was meant to be or not." Nate said as Doug chuckled.
"Well my former Mint Condor. I know you'll fly high."
"Hey, I want to see YOU try. You didn't get a fair shake, and who knows, coming back, you'll rock the game down hard."
"Guess we're seeing. But I won't go down until that horn is sounded."
"Oh yeah! Now you're playing super hard!"
Confessional: Nate
"Oh my god! I got the first scoop with a first boot..... FUCK! If he rejoins then it's Buu who's the lowest ranking member. Fourteen would make it hard but.... NO! Don't fuck him over. Make this as clean as possible. That's how it should be played today."
Confessional Change: Doug
"So Nate still has that energy. I respect how hard he works with that. It's his passion...... I would say I'm ready to head home. But this southern farm boy isn't going down until the rooster caws at the end of this challenge, no doubt."
Confessional End
It cut to Charlotte as she was meditating, before she opened her eyes at seeing Bray gently talking to himself, and she smiled gently at the conversation or back and forth as he kept changing Identities.
"Come on. Who's the weakest and strongest here that can be a threat." Gacy asked with a slight glint in his eyes as he asked this.
"Well...... Colin has energy. Ivo has strength. Both could be threats." Erick said.
"But Alexa is unpredictable along with Buu." Brodie said, tapping his chin quietly.
"So anyone can be a threat for the challenge today." Huskas said.
"But we don't have to worry about it. We have skills too. And we're just as dangerous as a combined unit." Bray said with a grin.
"Oh yeah, and because no one knows who's who and when!" Gacy laughed.
"We have little to tell. Be careful about that." Brodie chuckled.
"Oh! We're gonna be rocking the house down today! I know we got these guys!" Huskas grinned as well.
"Meh. As long as it's synced. We'd be good with it" Erick said as Charlotte went to speak.
"I think seeing how you guys work is a marvelous sight. Coming here confused on yourself and now here we all, your rebirth is thrilling to witness." Charlotte said as she looked up at Bray who tilted his head.
"DId you know about averyone?" He asked as Charlotte shook her head.
"I just saw cloudy colors. But never the wrong side. Alice and Cooper had it a lot." Charlotte said with a chuckle.
"That's fair. I know a lot though we were acting." Erick said.
"Well it'll make seeing how you perform without the mint team."
"Oh. But we have a team. We're all a team." Brodie said as Charlotte smiled more, hands together.
"And that's why victory for you is strong. Because you're ready and have that perfect unity." Charlotte said.
"And what are the odds of you winning? You're focused on us." Huskas said as Charlotte nodded.
"I'm not as big of a physical threat. My odds aren't high.... But I plan to fight this to the end and even if I fail. I'm pleased with what I recived." Charlotte said.
"I hope you give it your all. When you have nothing stopping you it's boring!" Gacy said.
"Everyone wants to rejoin.... so try your best. And so will I."
"Of course!"
Confessional: Bray
"So I want to win, but we're conflicted."
"Some of us want anarchy.... some of us don't." Gacy laughed.
"But together, we can at least control chaos." Erick said.
"Charlotte's right. We need to be thinking as one." Brodie said.
"YEAH! RISE LIKE A PHOENIX FROM ASHES!"
Confessional: Charlotte
"I can feel the swirling emotions of colors in him.... yet despite how sudden each is, all have an aura shining brightly...... He's gonna be hard to be with how unified he is. But it's wonderful he's found that inner flame that they don't have alone."
Confessional End
"Attention stars, challenge time!"
It cut to stage four, on the beach with a lot of stuff set up.
"Final Eight! Say hello to familiar faces!" Emily said.
"Oh......" Alice said.
"Comebacks again?" Joey asked.
"Yay!" Clover clapped.
"Now I'm excited!" Caroline grinned.
"last one huh?....." Issac mumbled.
"These aren't teams." Lexi mumbled.
".... oh I see what this is." Brandon nodded.
"Great....." Mia said as the fourteen eliminated players walked onto the beach.
"Final eight, welcome back Doug, Buu, Charlotte, Sorcha, Kenny, Bray, Colin, Alexa, Amanda, Lucas, Cooper, Ivo, Reagan and Nate!" Emily smirked.
As the Eight looked across to the fourteen people, some of the awkwardness still there as Trevor and Derek nodded.
"As you know, today's the last chance to return to the game!" Derek said.
"And for all of you now, this is solely for the booted players, the final eight get a day off." Trevor said.
"Today's return challenge is simple to a point. It's a multi part challenge! Part one is to walk across a balance beam and untie your colored bags from the beam. If you fall off at any point, you must go back to the start. This part requires a good balance."
"Part two is the submerged bags, using your Boyu you'll swim underwater to reach one of five bags, this one is about keeping your cool underwater and not panicking. The faster you are however, the better. Trust me, being in the bottom spot isn't something you want!"
"Part Three is the giant net maze! You must travel through a giant net maze above the water to find more bags throughout the maze. Trust me these will matter. But there are holes in the maze, and they fall through them into the water. You have to start over, and it could help, or kill more time for you.
"Part four is the giant wall. You must climb the rock roll to the top, watching out for the wet and slippery beg, at the top you have to jump for a bag. If you miss, you have to climb again, and you can't move on until you have this bag added to your collection."
"Part five, as you get to the beach, you see a giant slingshot for each of you. Using sandbags, you use the sling shot to fire said sandbags at poles, where your last five bags are. You can't move forward until all five bags are knocked over.
"The final part of the challenge, You'll open your bags, and see there's puzzle cubes in them, using these blocks, you must complete a phrase, the one that gets it right or gets it closest to that phrase will get to rejoin. So this one has no wrong answers, but one that’s the right answer.."
"But that's not all! There's one more twist! As you all play, when there's only two people left in a round, those two people are disqualified. So there'll be only Four of you left by the time the final round starts. So make sure you all don't waste time with how you go at this." Emily smiled.
The fourteen eliminated players glanced at each other. Yeah. It was so on with how the game is gonna be played today.
"We'll give you all about five minutes to get ready. Reminder, this is your last chance to return. Don't waste it." Emily smirked.
Confessional: Buu
"Yes! This is gonna be fun!~"
Confessional Change: Amanda
"Great...... film set water...... NO! Focus on winning!"
Confessional Change: Kenny
"Water we are doing today! Playing hard ball!"
"Please stop." Emily said.
"NEVER!"
Confessional End
It cut the fourteen Players standing on the beach, all in their swimsuits as they waited for the call to go.
"Okay. Fourteen eliminated players. Remember to go at your best...... and if you fall off your beam, you must restart! And the last two are out..... Okay..... ready!.......... GO!" Emily said as the players went off running, some getting onto the balance beam with no issues.
Alexa was already skipping along, grinning as she got to a bag.
"Oooh! I did this blind folded." Colin grinned as he walked down his beam with not the grace Alexa did.
"Why?" Lucas asked.
"Because it would be fun!" Buu cheered for having a bag.
"Okay..... just breathe...." Amanda said as she was untying a bag, breathing calmly as she was ignoring the water.
"Just keep powering through this!" Doug grinned.
Upon hearing a screech, there was a splash as Sorcha groaned.
"Damnit!"
Confessional: Sorcha
"Yeah.... I suck at balance beams.... but I got this!"
Confessional End
"Slow and steady.... most of you lack balance." Ivo said as he saw Lucas fall in.
"Not all of us are grumpy boys!" Gacy cheered as he got another bag.
"We're killing these queens." Kenn grinned as he smacked his knee.
"Plerase don't." Reagan said.
"OooH! My mom loves that song." Sorcha laughed.
"Alexa..... you have three bags." Cooper said.
"And Buu does now too." Charlotte said.
"What?! How!"Ivo said.
"Becuase you don't see the chaos they bring." Cooper laughed before falling into the water with a groan.
"We're embracing the chaos.... and we're not rushing like some of you." Erick dryly said.
"I can see that." Doug chucked as Amanda screeched before smacking herself.
"It's just water, focus damnit!" She snapped as everyone winced at her doing this.
"Yeah! Another bag bitches!" Reagan cheered.
"Damnit!" Nate said as he fell into the water.
"Some just have bad balance..... inner or physical. It happens." Charlotte laughed. getting to her second bag.
"Oooh! This is gonna get more fun the more we go on..... and the energy dies down for some, but some of us won't!" Colin cheered from the start of his beam.
"What the hell! When did you fall off?" Sorcha blinked in shock.
"When Amanda screamed..... I got four bags before that." Colin grinned.
"You are so weird..... and I love that." Nate laughed.
"Time's ticking! You better pick up the slack." Brodie grinned as he got another bag.
"Okay.... gotta pace myself and..... Amanda you're moving fast!" Kenny said as everyone saw her indeed moving faster.
"I'm locking the hell in!"
As Lucas got his fourth bag, he could see one after another, that people were getting their final bags and jumping off the balance beam.
"Oh! And we're seeing quick succession. Buu...... Alexa..... Bray..... Colin..... Kenny! Ivo too! Doug....... and even Sorcha!
As Reagan got her last bag, she panted as she ran to the edge, falling in as she jumped past the line as she sighed. Swimming to the rest of the others as she kept swimming.
"Reagan gets her last bag and moves on, three spots left!"
Cooper gently face palmed before spitting a little at salt water getting water in his mouth before he shook his head as he untied his last bag as he took off running towards the end of his beam, and jumped into the water.
"And now there's two spots..... and Nate fell back into the water." Emily laughed.
"Yeah.... I suck at this kind of stuff." Nate laughed as he came up above water coughing gently.
Looking over, as he climbed back up, he saw Amanda running to the beam, grinning.
"YES!" Amanda yelled as she jumped off her beam, swimming over to where the rest were as Lucas glanced at Nate and Charlotte got their last bags as Lucas held his breath as he started moving faster as Nate sighed.
"Dang man..... I'm a superfan. But balance is what sucks." He laughed as he looked at Charlotte.
"I can find inner balance..... outer balance.... I can not." She nodded as she was falling back into the water.
As Lucas stumbled forward, he front rolled off the edge of his beam as Emily blew a horn.
"And sadly...... Nate....... Charlotte..... I'm sorry. You guys are out." Emily said as Nate laughed panting as he threw his bag into the water.
"Eh. That was fun." He chuckled.
"I gave my best...... and I want to see the rest find their growth spiritually." Charlotte bowed gently.
It cut to the twelve players on the platform waiting to do the second stage.
"Alright. Part two starts..... now!" Derek said as the twelve remaining players all jumped into the water from the platform. Buu and Alexa had the most energy to get ahead of the pack as the others were doing different levels of success.
Amanda was struggling at first before she sighed and smacked herself, reminding herself to focus on the challenge not germs.
Confessional: Ivo
"She's a threat...... and she's also gonna be her biggest weakness. It's a lose lose or win win kind of deal, depending on how you see it."
Confessional: Doug
"Yeah..... we're working on the whole ocean being a big body of germ things."
Confessional End
"Wait. How deep is this?!" Lucas asked as Colin came up.
"Three feet per bag." Colin said.
"WOO! That gets further down!" Alexa laughed.
"I love it!" Huskas grinned.
"And I don't. What's your point?!" Ivo asked.
"Maybe don't get upset at those who are having fun." Doug chuckled.
"Exactly." Colin grinned.
"Back for another!" Lucas said.
"Oh I hate this. I can't go that deep." Cooper panted.
"Got to stay underwater for a long time!' Kenny grinned.
"Don't get silly. That can be dangerous if you're not careful." Amanda said.
"If you practice..... then yeah you'd improve." Sorcha laughed.
"My sisters do that." Doug chuckled.
"Oh my god dude yes!" Ivo said upon hearing this from Doug.
"Guys...... challenge." Colin said, having gotten his second bag.
"SHIT!" Sorcha and Amanda said at the same time as Alexa, Bray and Buu were getting their third bag back.
Confessional: Lucas
"Yeah.... them taking that time wasn't smart. Those three have the energy to win this.
Confessional End
"Come on guys and girls! We're crushing it!~" Gacy sang as he got back to his Boyu for bag Four as Alexa and Buu were behind him.
"Should we mention we're starting to get tired?" Huskas said quietly.
"Nah. Make it a secret..... gives us power." Erick mumbled.
"You talking stradegy?" Sorcha laughed.
"Yep." Broadie said, before going underwater as Sorcha sighed, tired.
"God damnit." She said, doing the same as Lucas got another bag back, seeing Colin and Ivo were also ahead of him.
"You're doing great Amanda," Doug smiled as she came back up.
"I don't think so." She said,
"Just keep swimming."
"Love the finding Nemo refrence." Coling grinned, swimming by.
"He...... is more energized now." Doug blinked.
Confessional: Doug
"Being the first boot I missed a lot...... but since day one, that cow poke is a horse bead lining for water."
Confessional End
"Oh kill me." Kenny groaned.
"Come on Mr. funny man. It's not gonna be the end till it's the end." Ivo said before a loud speaker was turned on.
"Alexa and Buu are done! And as I say this, Bray finishes too!" Derek said.
"Shit." Ivo said as he swam down.
"Oh this is a fruitless effort." Cooper sighed quietly as he heard splashes behind him.
"Doug and Colin make it five.... and Ivo makes it six."
"Screw it, I will keep trying!" Cooper yelled as he jumped back in.
He could see Reagan passing him as she climbed onto the platform.
"Regan makes it seven!"
"Okay.... swim more in the morning. Noted." Sorcha sighed, swimming to her Boyu .
"And Amanda surprisingly gets it too."
Kenny jumped back in for his last bag as he heard this.
"Fuck you." She said as Lucas made it with his last bag.
"And Lucas makes it Nine. Only one more person can continue into round three!" Derek said as Sorcha was quick to swim down more, holding her breath as Cooper panted, Kenny doing the same as Sorcha.
Kenny got to the surface and started swimming, he could hear Cooper behind him but both knew that it was a fruitless battle.
Sorcha was just too far ahead of them for them to get to the platform before her.
As Sorcha tossed her last bag onto the platform, she heard a horn go off as she glanced back at Cooper and Kenny.
She had some sympathy for her former teamates.... but she had to play the game. At least they both seemed to get that mindset.
"And with that...... Cooper....... Kenny...... You guys are out now." Derek said as Cooper quietly sighed, but nodded with a smile.
"Went out fighting. Can't say I didn't try.... I'm proud of myself."
"Oh..... that's it for the wise guy here everybody, don't miss the joker here!" Kenny grinned as he started swimming backwards to shore, Cooper slowly following, smiling at Alice sadly.
He ttried.
It cut to the Ten players standing in front of a giant net like structure.
"Alright our Ten Eliminated Stars. This is the next course. Reminder. Fall through the holes into the water, you must come back here to re-enter...... go!" Trevor said as they all ran inside the next maze.
As they went running onto the rope course, they were all tripping and falling onto the ropes.
"Oh this is gonna be a miserable time!" Amanda whined as Doug helped her up.
"Are you kidding? I love this!" Gacy laughed.
"That's someone." Ivo said.
"Gotta focus somehow." Buu grinned.
"Come on guys. This isn't that bad. Just go with a bounce!" Colin laughed as he bounced through the maze, before falling into the water.... and Buu right behind him.
"And this is why we don't rush it." Sorcha said, surprised Alexa and Bray were going at it slow and steady.
As Colin and Buu got back in the maze, a short montage started showing the players as they were finding their bags one by one.
As Ivo jumped up to grab one, she bounced off the wall and back into a hole.
Amanda tripped, bouncing slightly before rolling over into a hole.
Alexa grinned before she bounced right into Lucas, who laughed, before they slid into a hole.
Reagan bounced past a hole, before Buu bounced past her, making her stumbled backwards.... right into the water.
"Wow.... you guys are getting into those hole traps way too easy." Trevor said.
"It's all about planning where you land. It's not as hard as you think and oh there's a hole." Doug said before a splash was heard.
"Doug falls into the water, he must find his way through the course." Trevor said before some bags dropped down as Sorcha landed, having all five. "And Sorcha is the first to finish!"
"Yeah!"
Confessional: Sorcha
"I did some mazes and escape rooms........ wow I did do crazy stuff during med school..... Maybe Charlotte was right about being more free."
Confessional End
As Sorcha watched she winced as Regan came flying out from the hole as she groaned, tossing her bag to the side, at least having her bag there made her relax a bit more.
"And Reagan finds the exit second with all her bags!" Trevor said.
"Oh my god I love rope mazes" Reagan sighed.
"Really? I love them." Sorcha grinned.
As five more bags dropped near them, they both looked up.
"INCOMING!" Amanda yelled out as the two girls winced as Amanda landed on them.
"OW!"
"And Amanda drops onto Reagan and Sorcha for Third!
"The boys are fighting." Alexa giggled as she dropped her bags out first before hopping down.
"Wait which ones?" Amanda asked.
"Bray and Ivo.... Bray's blocking him." Lucas said, sighing as he climbed out.
"And Alexa and Lucas are the fourth and fifth ones to finish.... and here comes Colin."
"And the pieces come together." Reagan said as they all backed up, not wanting to get landed on again.
Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. Oh here's the end." Colin grinned as he went through the exit.
Colin finished sixth. Two spots left."
"Damnit Bray, what are you doing!" Ivo said as he glanced back.
"Stalling." Erick said.
"Stalling?!"
"Yes. We're holding you up to help Buu." Brodie admitted.
"You..... wow. Never thought you'd do that." Ivo admitted.
"And Doug is the seventh to finish. That leaves Buu, Bray and Ivo!" Trevor said.
"Damnit." Buu said as she untied her last bag. She was fucked.
Coming back she saw Bray was blocking Ivo, thinking, with a hole behind them.
"Well you can either A. Let me win, or B. Take the win yourself." Ivo said, clearly there for a minute as Gacy laughed.
"What?"
"Well......... We also have Plan C. It's time I make a sacrifice like she did." Bray said as he turned to Ivo.
"What? Wait.... what did Buu do?" Ivo asked before Bray tackled him down, making them roll into a hole as Buu climbed past them, shocked at seeing this as she got past them, getting to the end of the course, dropping by everyone else.
"And Buu finishes it at Eight!" Trevor said.
"You son of a bitch!" Ivo said, before laughing as Gacy laughed as both were coughing slightly.
"And at the end of ...... Ivo....... Bray...... You guys are out now." Trevor said as he looked down at the two.
"Fuck it, this was fun.... and I find it funny how you legit went down with the ship."
"Thank you. We will try." Gacy grinned as Ivo laughed more at this.
It cut to the final eight as they all stood in front of a giant climbing wall, as they were all getting ready.
"Alright. The last two to not get their five bags are out. GO!" Trevor yelled out as Alexa and Buu started climbing right away.
As everyone started climbing, right away, most of them slipped right away from the begs being slippery.
"It's one bag. It can't be that bad." Reagan said as Coline fell from the top, surprising everyone.
"I'm good." He laughed.
"Is this gonna be a mess too?" Amanda asked as Buu fell too.
"Alexa's done."
"Good luck everyone!" Alexa giggled as she jumped off the top, grabbing her last bag as a giant splash hit some.
"She is having too much fun with this challenge." Sorcha said gently as she eeked and fell back to the ground with a groan.
"Alexa is the first to finish!" Trevor said.
"This is just frustrating man." Lucas groaned.
"Keep at i-AHH!" Amanda cried out as she landed hard on the ground, Reagan wincing as she climbed more.
"Okay..... calm down..... and jump!" Reagan yelled as she leaped and got her bag as she smacked into the water, before quietly sinking in.
"Reagan finishes second!.... and are you okay?"
"I'm.... good." Reagan said as she swam back up.
"I hate this." Amanda sighed as Doug laughed.
"Just keep trying." He said as she nodded, looking up to see Sorcha get to the top as Colin slipped again.
As Sorcha winced at hearing Colin slam down onto the ground again, she gulped at possibly just barely missing her bag, but thankfully she was able to knock it down with this attempt.
"And Sorcha is the third one. Three spots left for you all!"
"How many times have you fallen?" Lucas asked as Colin landed again.
"Uh...... about seven times." Colin chuckled before Buu climbed his shoulders to get height as he chuckled at this.
"You kill this challenge girl!" Colin grinned as Lucas sighed.
"Not going yet bitches!" Buu cheered as she jumped into her bag and slammed into the water hard, but rose laughing hard as she grinned happily.
"Buu is the fourth one to finish the challenge! Two spots left!" Trevor said.
"Damnit this is hard." Amanda sighed as Colin slammed down beside her before he hopped up.
"You good man?" Doug chuckled as Colin grinned.
"I love this!" He cheered.
"Oh damn it! I missed it again!" Lucas snapped.
"Confessional: Lucas
"I think I'm done...... I just don't have it anymore."
Confessional End
As Amanda and Doug tried to grab their bags as they jumped, Colin got to the top, grinning happily.
"Cannonball!" Colin yelled out as he jumped off, grabbing his last bag as he landed in the water.
"And Colin is the fifth one to move on. We have one spot left." Trevor said.
"Oh great.... there's three of us left." Amanda said as Doug glanced over to Lucas.
"You good Lucas?" Doug asked.
"Fuck it. I'm done." Lucas groaned as he sat down, panting.
"Well that's.... right.... we still have to play....." Amanda said quietly.
"I have an idea." Doug said as she looked at him.
"What?"
Before Amanda could say anything else, Doug started to push her up as her eyes went wide.
"Hey! You don't have to do that! You have a chance too!"
"Screw it. You have that chance to win. You were robbed. So I'm gonna help you, and you're gonna crush it in the last two rounds." Doug said as Amanda paused, before sighing.
"You're not gonna stop are you?"
"Nope." He grinned as she chuckled.
"You're so romantically nerdy.... and I love that......... I don't want to let you down." She said as she got to the top of the wall.
"As long as you play your hardest...... I'll be happy." Doug said as he kissed Amanda on the lips before she looked more serious as she jumped, grabbing her last bag and landed in the water right after.
"And with that! Amanda is the sixth and final one to finish the wall. I'm sorry to say this after the hard work.... but Doug, Lucas......... You guys are out now. Sorry.." Trevor said as he looked down at the two.
"I went out like the man I am..... and had fun.... glad I did this." Doug chuckled as Lucas sighed.
"Honestly....... I'm glad it's over.... I can just relax now."
"Same." Doug laughed, sitting next to him.
It cut to the six left in the game on the beach as most seemed tired to some degree as Derek raised a brow.
"Alright. Remember. You knock down the five bags. You're good. Last two in, you're out." Derek chuckled before seeing Trevor nod. "Alright. You may all begin."
As he said this, the six all ran to their colored sling shots, everyone grabbing bags and pulling back on the sling shot as they all fired, multiple colored bags going flying as everyone missed, but everyone instantly went back for another shot, everyone knew this one was time sensitive.
More bags went flying very quickly.
Confessional: Colin
"Me and Caroline did a bunch of stupid stuff. Bow and Arrows...... air soft of course. sling shots and catapults.... this takes me back..... What can I say? I'm crazy!"
Confessional End
As the sandbags kept getting fired, every now and then a puzzle bag was knocked over. Thankfully the bags were color coded so they didn't blend in.
"I can't focus very well." Amanda sighed.
"I get that. Energy gets low and we slip up." Sorcha laughed.
"That's the spirit." Reagan grinned.
"Exactly." Alexa grinned, knocking a bag over.
"No quit......" Buu said as she paused before continuing.
Before anyone could say anything else, they were all shocked as they saw all of one colored bag hit the ground.
"And Colin finishes first."
"What?!"
"Being a reckless youtube works for me! Fuck yeah!" Collin cheered.
"Fear no result!" Buu yelled, missing more shorts, but managed to hit a bag.
"Come on." Amanda mumbled as she fired again and missed as she groaned, Reagan missing too.
"Damnit all!"
Confessional: Reagan
"Yeah.... I suck at sling shots.... fuck...... how would Issac do this? Think like Issac. Not how I would do it."
Confessional End
As Reagan grinned as she aimed awkwardly, she managed to get a bag as Sorcha got another as Buu sighed.
"I'm not good at this." She admitted.
"My cousin used these!" Alexa grinned as she fired again, knocking over her last bag.
"And with that. Alexa moves on. Two of our final four have been decided." Derek warned.
"Okay....... breath and aim. Just like using a water balloon launcher." Amanda breathed gently.
"You what?" Sorcha asked.
"Yeah! Me and my cousins and I loved using them!" Amanda giggled as Buu fired more bags, missing them.
"Damn it!"
"How pro are you?" Reagan asked Amanda.
"I'm like fifty-fifty now. Been a while...... when I get back I'm firing at my cousins. Have something fun." Amanda giggled before she fired another bag hitting one of her pols, lasting over the last puzzle bag as she grinned.
"YEAH!" She cheered running to it.
"Amanda, you move on to the final round. We only have one sport left for Reagan, Sorcha or Buu. One of you is moving on."
"Girls....... let's finish this with a blaze of glory...... we're all tired."
"Agreed." Reagan gently said. Glancing at Buu who laughed.
"Alright. Why not? I like it." Buu nodded.
"On three. One."
"Two."
"Three!"
As the three girls pulled back, all three fired at once as they saw their bags flying through the air as they all waited with suspense as one knocked over the last bag as that one cheered.
"And with this last shot from the three. Reagan is the last one to move on. Sorcha. Buu. Your games are over." Derek said.
"Went out with a bang. I'm happy with my game." Buu grinned.
"I at least didn't give up." Sorcha sighed as brushed the hair out of her face, smiling at Buu.
It cut to Reagan, Colin, Alexa and Amanda at a table each, bags in front of them as Emily, Trevor and Derek smirked.
"Alright. Your final challenge is five minutes. Reminder. The one closest to the phrase we picked wins. No sabbataging... but with you four, I won't get that. You can also change your answer as much as you want. But you have to do so before the time limit." Emily said as the four looked ready. "Alright, the final challenge to return starts....... now!"
As Emily said go the four opened up all their bags, pouring the blocks out as they were looking over the letters.
"Does this word use all the blocks?" Reagan asked.
"Nope." Emily smirked.
"Okay.... cool." Amanda said.
"Colin.... why are you stacking yours upside down?" Alexa asked.
"I think faster with it like that." He grinned
"Fair enough and AH! That's not the right word!" Alexa snapped as she knocked her blocks over.
"Is knocking them over really your plan B?" Reagan asked before Colin did it too.
"It's mine." Colin grinned as Reagan face palmed at hearing this.
"Okay....so I have about 20 blocks..... but I don't have time to think! FUCK!" Amanda snapped as slammed a block onto the sand.
"It's all trial and error and...,. third guess is wrong. damn." Reagan said as she started stacking again.
"Tick. Tick. Tick." Colin mumbled as he started stacking again.
"Come on! Why!" Alexa said as she knocked them over again.
"The variables are warped and I hate that." Amanda said.
"The time limit doesn't help." Reagan said.
"Oh man. This one doesn't work either... making progress." Alexa sighed.
"Oh!" I think I got mine!~" Colin sang as he started stacking his blocks faster.
"Oh come on! Five minutes is SUCH BULLSHIT!" Amanda screamed out, surprising everyone.
"We got to show our will to fight!" Alexa cried as she finished staking before taking some down.
"Wow.... this..... isn't the end. I got this." Reagan said as she started moving her blocks faster as she started mumbling more as she looked at her options.
As Amanda held her breath, she gently sighed before narrowing her eyes.
"Overdrive!" Amanda yelled as she started stacking too.
"Ideas are showing up but all aren't there.... but I think we have a good idea...." Reagan mumbled as she knocked her tower over and started stacking again.
Glancing over to see Colin was done, before he took some down, gently mumbling out a no.
Confessional: Colin
"I like puzzles. This however was the worst possible thing for me. I hate these."
Confessional Change: Amanda
"Never was one for these, but screw it, this is fun!"
Confessional End
"I almost have mine." Colin laughed.
"I almost have something.... I think."
"Ugh. I have no ideas. Damnit." Amanda sighed.
"Oh! Wait!" Reagan bounced happily.
She thinks she had an idea now.
"Last minute of the challenge!" Trevor yelled out.
"So you might want to finish whatever your word's gonna be before you don't have time and your answer isn't finished." Derek smirked.
This got the four moving faster, the tension suddenly picking up more now.
Alexa gently cursed as she knocked her tower half over, starting from that point, before her eyes went wide.
Reagan looked at two blocks mumbling to herself as she was thinking.
Colin smiled as he put his last one on, happy with his choice.
As Amanda paused, her eyes lit up as she started stacking again, knowing what her answer was.
"and........ STOP! Your time's up!" Emily grinned as the four players stopped stacking blocks.
"Alright. We're gonna be going over your answers. Let's see...... First Colin. You spelled out Redemption."
"Yep! It's showing that I worked for my second chance and got redemption for losing." Colin grinned wildly as Trevor nodded.
"I like that. An interesting idea for you all."
"Amanda. You made a transformation." Derek said.
"Yep. To win this I had to transform and improve myself and am ready to return and kick ass!" She cheered as Derek chuckled gently.
"Fair enough." He said as she grinned, not sure if it was the winner, but she tried her hardest and was happy here.
"Alexa..... you spelt out Resurrection.... interesting. Your mindset?" Emily asked as she grinned.
"It's a simple one. We come back, it's a resurrection for us and we can use our second life for this game."
"Wow. We have some tough competition here. I like it. Okay. Last but not least we have Reagan. What did our artist come up with?"
"I went with Comeback. It's simple, but I feel it's something you guys would be going with. Because we won a comeback to rejoin." Reagan explained as Emily, walking over to Trevor and Derek, the three quietly talking things over.
"Okay...... not sure why we did this, we had an answer....... but congradulations........................ Alexa. You spelled the right word. Welcome back!" Trevor grinned as Alexa let out a scream of joy at this.
Despite seeing how down Reagan and Amanda looked for a second, both smiled, clapping.
She earned it.
"Hey....... I'm just happy to have fun." Colin said as Alexa glanced at the final eight, grinning.
"Alexa..... don't drop this. Show them we aren't scared to kick ass longer." Amanda hugged her as Alexa nodded.
Seeing Reagan look at her, Alexa knew without words. Look over Issac for her.
It cut to the groups saying goodbye to each other at the exit.
"Are you sure you're ready for the last third?" Colin chuckled.
"..... Yes. I've come too far now to fall here. I won't lose without fighting hard. Because alone or together, we keep fighting." Caroline said.
"Exactly. We Mcfly's are like most Irish kids, stubborn asses and won't stop till we can't keep going. Just remember the most important thing."
"What's that?"
"Have fun. We came here to play together. Don't let yourself forget that." He said, hugging her.
"I...... I won't." She smiled gently, hugging him back gently.
"Is your goal to win now?" Lucas asked as Alexa grinned.
"Would be nice. But like Clover before me, riding this wave till it runs out." Alexa smiled.
"Remember to be more smart with moves." Buu giggled.
"And to show no mercy!" Rowan said.
"Rowan."
"Yes."
"I want Bray."
As Erick looked at her, a grin formed.
"Gacy!"
"Had to." He laughed before Bray laughed.
"Remember, you got out because you were a threat. Don't let them sneak up on you."
"Oh of course. I'm not playing soft at all."
"And most of all?" Lucas smiled.
"KICK ASS!" Alexa grinned.
"I'm..... sorry you couldn't come back." Alice said.
"Hey..... I got out at a fun spot..... and I got to see you one last time....... Charlotte gave me advice for you."
"She did?"
"Your biggest fears are your obstacle, being fearless and knowing it's who you are, makes what you do the purist you."
"Wow. She does have a way with words. I love it." She giggled gently as Cooper and her stared at each other before they gently kissed.
"I'm not playing like a newbie anymore. I'm ready to play like a veteran.... without the ego."
"I love it."
"Sorry you couldn't come back man." Brandon sighed.
"Seriously? I don't need it.... honestly I'm more happy out of the game." Ivo laughed.
"Really?!"
"I..... don't scheme..... I actually get to show the less cynical me." Ivo chuckled.
"I've been cynical..... and guilty."
"You want an answer, I fucked you over. I am the reason ALice flipped and why you were stressed. Please don't make it worse..... fix the mistakes we made." Ivo said as Brandon raised a brow.
"Are you really Ivo?"
"Funny smartass...... but Charlotte is amazing."
"Well..... I'll make both of us proud."
"Thank you man. Really."
"Well I gave it my best. Didn't win. Not gonna cry over it." Nate laughed.
"I wish you came back...."
"But I would be out next so eh. I can see everything from the Pink side at the motel now.... so I'm happy over that."
"You're just so focused on this show..... I love it."
"Gotta be fun somehow. I'll be rooting for you."
"I won't give up. The time is clocking near, but even then, hypothesis on every possible boot order."
"And you're going back to your thing. Being super smart. Good luck."
"Thanks." She smiled, the two hugging.
"Well..... I guess that's the end of this artist's ride. Like Alessio before me, my swan song was inspiring." Reagan said as Issac laughed.
"You..... seem more calm now....."
"Hey! The game not being a factor..... and meeting the other booted players, I have no reason to be on edge..... but I miss you.... and are rooting for you." Reagan said as she hugged Issac.
She glanced up and hugged her back as he breathed gently.
"I...... hate losing people....."
"None of us do. But you got this for all of us." she said as he smiled, nodding in reply.
"Well it looks like getting voted out and losing comebacks twice means you've officially STRUCK out!" Clover grinned as Kenny laughed hard.
"Yes! You get it!" Kenny clapped as Clover grinned, blushing a little.
"But still.... would have been nice to play together."
"I'd rather not make you worry about me. Last time I got out, and sent you spiraling. So I want you to focus on your goals.... okay?"
'I want a notebook of jokes that are new when I see you again."
"Already halfway there." Kenny smirked as Clover giggled as she hugged him.
Both were happy here.
"Hmmm.... your aura has grown darker and brighter at the same time." Charlotte smiled at Joey.
"Oooh! That means he's not clean in the game, but he's also happy with something." Sorcha smirked.
"You guys are now love love guru?" Joey laughed.
"We see how you act at times." Charlotte said.
"If it's true someone here caught your eye, don't waste your shot. Take advantage of it." Sorcha said.
"You're right..... I...... won't...... because I've felt more alive as the game goes on."
"And that darkness isn't bad..... because it's glowing as we speak..... keep shining."
"I will.... I owe you that."
"So.... you and Joey are friends?" Amanda asked as Mia raised a brow.
"Not that big." She said,
"Don't be silly, I heard him mention you at times to Kenny back before.... they fought."
"He.... did?" Mia asked.
"Yeah. Kenny said Joey mentioned valuing your opinion." Doug said as Mia held in the urge to act ignorant.
"He..... never said this....."
"If you care, be open. Best advice." Doug smiled.
"Right.... you two are dating." Mia said as Amanda laughed.
"I see what he likes. You wouldn't have taken Ivo's crap."
"I would not have." Mia said, thinking of Joey.
As this was said, the limo beeped as the thirteen eliminated players waved to the final nine as they all boarded.
For the last time while the game was active, they were taken away from the film lot.
It cut to the Host area as Alexa grinned happily as she hugged Lily.
"I guess I have to read it since I came back, I loved doing this last time!” She giggled before clearing her throat.
"Thank you for reading this chapter of Disventure Camp! I'd like to thank the supporters of this story."
"WGB"
"Tides445"
"DarkWolf573"
"Godjacob95. Who asked.... and wanted it to be simple! "How does it feel to be back in the game, and who are you most eager to speak with as you join the merged players?" Oh! Well of course Issac is their.... and Clover. My best friends are still in! Lexi and Mia are also ones that I can see again! But if I want to get some super excitement. Brandon was talked up a bit. Same with Alice. But Joey and Caroline have friends back from the green room. So hopefully what I heard from Colin and Amanda are true!~ Because if not.... then i'm really gonna be disappointed at all the hype I gave myself. And the hype I gave Lilly too."

"Lastly, Kudos from 4 guests!" Nate said.
"Don't forget to ask the next eliminated contestant a question next time. Or ask for a greeting, anyone previous player or even a new player from this season. You can ask us almost anything! And even request outfits! Also remember to like the story!"
"Thank you for watching. We'll See you next time!" Alexa finished.
As the camera stopped filming she smiled more as she looked at Lily.
"Well we have a second chance to cause chaos and have fun..... and watch over Issac for Reagan."
"Alexa?" Clover's voice was heard as she came over.
"Hello lucky lady! What's the problem? I thought you'd be at the trailer."
"Yes.... but I want to tell you something before you get there."
"Oh?"
"Issac...... I feel like I'm hiding something.... and acting like it's all fine."
"Well he did the back thing on solid ground right?"
"Yes."
"That's a sign that you're trying to not let something into your head. Usually bad thoughts."
"What kind of bad thoughts?"
"Any kind..... but what else was he showing?"
"He...... wasn't upset Reagan got out."
"Oh..... that's not good.... Lily's right. He was upset when both you and I got out. And now we have him acting like stuff is fine..... Amanda explained it as a mental spiral and putting walls to stop it from continuing..... did no one talk to him?"
"Mia did. But she started after..... and he doesn't want to make me stressed...." Clover looked down as Alexa pulled her into a hug.
"We're Condors. Mint Condors. We stick to our pack and if our leader is crying inside, You, my, Tyson and Lily will make sure that storm clears up and shines brightly!"
"Where'd you get that from?"
"Lucas is good isn't he? Taught me more about motivational speaking." Alexa grinned.
"Tyson's one. One for all.... and all for one."
"Exactly. Together. We four can help anyone we want."
