Chapter Text
Kristal was sitting at her desk in a simple gray office with a corkboard covered in pictures of the contestants in the back, one of the pictures that was shown showed Tom and Nick kissing, another one showed Grett posing for her social media with Yul behind her, smiling adoringly. Kristal picked up her cell phone and smirked before she started typing in a phone number as she toyed with her black hair she’d tied up into a ponytail.
The scene changed to show Ashley at her farm, shovel in hand as she wiped her forehead of sweat. Her hair was now a darker shade of blonde and she wore a dusty blue shirt with a darker tone and dark brown shorts. She leaned against the fence and propped her foot up on the post, showing her brown boots that had blue bands on the tops. She pulled off her brown gloves to check her buzzing phone and paused when she stared at the screen before grinning widely, her blue eyes glowing and showing why she was considered a beauty from season one.
The scene changed again to show Hunter and Ally in her room as they were streaming, Ally’s glasses now having little pac-mans on the top corner of them. Her hair was tied into a ponytail with bright pink tips now dyed into it. Her light blue cropped jean jacket hung loosely around her while her white shirt with a galactica emblem on her chest. She was wearing a pac-man necklace that rested against the base of her throat. She and Hunter wore matching rings and matching blue and gray bracelets. She had small hearts drawn across her nose and cheeks that were the colors of the bi flag. She had a silver lip piercing and nose ring that made her eyes shine. Hunter was relaxing against her, his black hair damp with water from a recent shower as his gray shirt clung to his muscular chest, a lighter gray stripe against his lower pecs. He had the same skull necklace from season two and matching rings and bracelets with Ally on his right hand, which was resting on his girlfriend’s slender shoulder. Ally’s phone lit up so she picked it up and Hunter leaned over her shoulder to see what message she had received and their eyes widened.
The scene then changed for the first time to show Miriam and Jake in a soft green kitchen with marble counters, Jake wearing a soft pink apron as he and Miriam were mixing batter for cookies. Jake’s hair was tied into a high bun with a watermelon hair clip holding his bangs out of his face. Under his apron, he wore a dark navy blue and light pink jacket with a dark blue skull design that he kept unzipped over a light blue shirt. He wore dark green fingerless gloves, a small heart necklace, and a pink bracelet. Miriam wore a green Hawaiian shirt, her gray hair tied into a tight bun. They both were smiling as they mixed before Jake’s phone buzzed and they looked down. Jake picked his phone up and he showed Miriam, his eyes wide in shock.
James and Aiden were by a hotel pool, relaxing as Aiden kicked his feet in the water and James stared with an adoring smile. Aiden had blue tips dyed into the blonde half of his hair and more piercings with his cross earring. He looked relaxed as James kissed his cheek and held up his phone to take a picture before he got a message from Kristal. They both looked shocked before Aiden rolled his eyes and James kissed his neck.
The fourth time the scene changed, Grett was in her room on a yoga mat doing butterfly pose, her brown hair loose around her shoulders as she stretched. She was wearing yellow yoga pants and a blue top with her normal bracelets on. She now wore a simple gold ring and a black choker with a gold heart on it. Yul was sitting on her bed, smiling softly at her as she stood up and walked over. She kissed his cheek before her phone lit up and she glanced at it before her eyes widened and she showed Yul as his eyes widened too.
The next scene change showed Lake with Rosa and Sofia in front of the Temple of Kukulcan, Lake’s wig looking messy while she wore a turquoise tank top, her skin shockingly tan compared to season two. Her gray eyes were sparkling with delight as Sofia pointed at the temple, her big eyes sparkling as she giggled. Lake felt her phone buzz and she reached into her jean short pockets to pull it out. She gasped, getting a worried look from Sofia and Rosa.
Riya was sitting in a chair as she ate chocolate colored strawberries, her red lips shiny with the strawberry juice. Her brown fur coat clung to her slender shoulders while her yellow shirt clung tightly to her curves, her red pants doing the same. Her long, dark brown hair was tied up and flowing gently around her shoulders, making her beautiful black eyes sparkle against her tan skin and red eyeshadow. She examined her red nails as she got a message and pulled out her phone and she stared in shock before grinning widely.
Kristal was sitting in a chair as a tan hand with long dark red nails applied blush to Kristal’s cheeks, making them rosy as her black ponytail swung gently around her shoulders. Her orange crop top and black skirt made her look like a model as she stood up.
She held her arms up and said, “Welcome one and all to Disventure Camp: All Stars! That’s right, everyone! You heard that right! We’ll be picking up 18 contestants from the past two seasons to compete against each other for a second chance at three million dollars! They’ll be competing in three teams of six for eight weeks at Camp Tipiskaw! Two years have passed since our first season and only one since our second. Just imagine what the contestants have been up to in that time. Who will be competing this season? Stay tuned to find out!”

The intro starts with Emily, Oliver, Nina, and Marcus in the plane before Emily shoves parachutes at the men and puppet, simultaneously pushing them out of the plane with a wide grin. The camera focused on Nina as she flew through the air down to the beach where Aiden was talking with Jake, who looked slightly awkward and sad before Fiore sat in his lap and hugged his arm. Jake looked surprised before he gently rubbed the top of Fiore’s head and James joined them, his hand immediately resting on Fiore's head, his fingers gently running through her ponytail before she hissed. Jake laughed softly and Aiden playfully rolled his eyes as the camera zoomed in on Connor and Alec talking, Riya resting her head on Connor's lap as Grett laid her head on his shoulder, Yul glaring nearby before he smiled and walked over, gently pulling Grett to his chest.
Lake was sitting with Ellie and Gabby while Tess painted the trio before Ashley joined them and draped her arms over Gabby and Ellie's shoulders, beaming brightly and earning a bright smile from the couple. The camera zoomed again to show Miriam watching Tom and Hunter argue, Ally gently pulling her boyfriend back. There was a flash of fire and Jake and Aiden were sitting next to each other, Aiden smiling kindly before James popped up in between them and kissed Aiden’s neck. The camera zoomed out to show Derek and Trevor standing behind the podium before Kristal popped up between them, pushing them to the ground as she smirked.
- - -
The first two contestants to arrive were Jake and Miriam, who smiled as they walked up to Kristal.
“And if it isn’t everyone’s favourite granny and grandson duo! Jake, and our resident Season 1 Winner, Miriam!” Jake grinned at her.
“Hiya Kristal! It’s super exciting to be back!” He exclaimed. Kristal smirked at them.
“Of course. I must say, Miriam… Hasn’t it been two years since you last played? You were already old then… Afraid your age is catching up to you?” She asked. Miriam rolled her eyes.
“That’s what everyone said last time, but I proved them all wrong and took home a Million Dollars, and you best believe I’m ready to do so again. There is no age limit for adventure, Kristal.” Miriam lectured. Kristal chuckled.
“Fair enough. Come on in. The fun is just beginning.”
Miriam and Jake then entered the plan and eventually sat down next to each other. Jake turned to Miriam with concern etched onto his features.
“Hey, Miriam? You know it’s not too late to back out, right? We can still turn around and go home if you want to.” He offered. Miriam scoffed.
“Are you serious? I didn’t drag my geriatric ass all the way out here just to turn around.” She pointed out. Jake sighed.
“Yeah… Fair point.”
- - -
The camera zoomed in on Jake and Miriam sitting in red chairs across from Emily, who had her long red hair tied into a ponytail that swept over her shoulder, her purple eyes sparkling with excitement as she examined her long red nails.
E: Well hello there, Jake and Miriam. Our favorite granny and grandson duo~. How have you two been these past two years?
M: Wouldn't you like to know?
J: Miriam, be nice. We've been fine.
E: Oh? What did you do with the money you won, Miriam~?
M: I bought a house and bakery near the beach and Jake and I took a vacation.
J: We had to cut our vacation short since um… Miriam got sick. She's fine now, don't worry. It was just a little bit of a scare. She’s also been having some back issues recently.
M: She waved her hand
I'm fine. Don't go spreading rumors about me being sick, Jake.
E: Well, Jake, have you and Tom talked at all since season one ended?
J: Well, I've tried reaching out to him and texted him but I've never gotten any response from him.
E: Awww~. And how did you feel about being ghosted?
J: Well, it still really hurts, I wish he had given me any closure, but I think it also showed me that we weren't ready for this to work out.
M: She looked almost upset as she waved her hand.
It’s for the best anyways. Tom was a troublemaker. It’s better that he stays out of our lives.
E: Oh wow~. I guess Jake’s moved on but Granny seems bitter~. What’s the story there?
J: There’s no story… um… I don’t think I know your name, actually.
E: Ugh. I’m Emily, the new staff member. Anyways, Miriam, earlier you seemed annoyed that Jake mentioned your health issues~. Do you have problems sharing your vulnerabilities?
M: She looked slightly annoyed.
Pass.
E: Ugh. Fine.

Kristal stayed by the plane as she waited for the next people to finally arrive. Hunter and Ally rushed over to the plane before they stopped, Ally having to bend over to pant and catch her breath. She leaned against her boyfriend as he gently stroked her long, brown and pink hair. She looked up with a smile before Hunter reached down and gently adjusted one of the Pac-men on the corner of her glasses.
“And if it isn’t Ally and Hunter, the emerging lovebirds from last season! How’s it going, you two?” Kristal questioned with a smirk on her face.”
Hunter smiled. “It’s going pretty good. We’re excited to be back for another season!” He said happily. Kristal smiled.
“Very well. Go on inside you two.”
When they got on the plane, Ally beamed and walked over to Miriam and Jake to offer her hand to them. Jake smiled and shook her hand, his dark green gloves gently rubbing against Ally’s hand and making her tense slightly with an uncomfortable look due to not liking the texture. Jake noticed and pulled his hand back with an awkward smile. Miriam smiled at Ally and Hunter.
“Well, hello there, youngsters. I remember you from season two. Where’s the other girl you were often with?”
Hunter smiled down and said, “Tess is in New York for college. We haven’t talked to her much honestly, but she’s said she’s been doing good the few times we have.”
- - -
Emily was lounging with a smile, her eyes sparkling with mischief. She looked at the couple with a grin.
E: Well hello there~, Hunter and Ally. I see you two have become a couple~.
H: Yeah. Ally’s gotten a lot of annoying comments about us dating and not me and Tess, but you know fandoms are.
A: She nodded.
The fans were super invested in Hunter and Tess and thought that I’m a… bit of a nobody. It’s usually Tess fans saying Hunter should have gotten with her instead and harassing me, which really confuses me since she’d hate that.
E: She rolled her eyes with a bored look.
Ok. Anyways~, Ally, how have you been dealing with the haters?
A: She looked down as Hunter reached out and gently squeezed her hand.
I’ve… been struggling, honestly. But Hunter’s been my rock lately. He’s started moderating my account and blocking everyone the second they start being haters.
E: She looked bored and yawned.
- - -
Kristal was tapping her foot with a very annoyed look as a tall man with messy black hair, dark teal eyes, tanned skins, scars littering his face and hands. He wore a dark teal hoodie with a dark brown jacket over it. He wore a dark gray belt on his jeans with black boots and black gloves.
Kristal snapped, “Do you have an excuse for being this late, Reed?”
Smiling, Tom said, “Actually, yeah! I’m friends with the TSA officer and-”
Kristal snapped her fingers at him and pointed at the house before she snapped, “Did I ask?”
With a confused look, Tom said, “I mean… Yeah?”
She paused and sighed before she admitted, “That’s fair. I did. Just get on the plane.”
Tom nodded and walked on the plane before staring awkwardly at Jake, his ex looking bored as he played with a Rubix Cube. He walked over and gently tapped Jake’s armrest, getting the younger man’s attention. Jake looked up and he looked slightly annoyed at Tom before waving.
“Hey, Tom. It’s great to see you again after being ghosted for two years.”
Tom winced slightly before he said, “Sorry, Jake. I’ve been busy with my new job and trying to make up with my little brother.”
Jake and Miriam looked at Tom in shock before Miriam snapped, “And what does that have to do with you being unable to text me or Jake back? After all, we worried about you and waited for you to answer us for two years.”
Tom sighed and looked away before he said, “It’s hard to explain… I’m really sorry, Jake.”
The younger man waved his hand with a bored look and snapped, “Not like you promised we could talk and keep in touch or anything. Just go sit down or something.”
The older man sighed with a disappointed look and looked away as he sat behind Hunter and Ally, who were playing Forest Crafter on Ally’s switch.
- - -
E: So,Tom~, how have you been these last few years? I hear you have a boyfriend now?
T: Oh, I’ve been pretty good. And no, we broke up almost a year ago after we realized we weren't really compatible at all. We've actually been pretty good friends now though. I've actually been very busy reconnecting with my baby brother recently.
E: So, why did you ghost Jake and Miriam?
T: He froze at the question before he sighed.
It’s a bit complicated… But, um, I just felt horrible after what happened during season one and then I got busy with work, but when I finally got in contact with my little brother, I was trying to focus more on investing my time on him to not ruin our relationship even further. It's been so long since we talked that I just… didn't want to mess anything up further…
E: she looked surprised before a slight smile spread across her lips
That's actually pretty sweet for man that seems to be sick of love.

Ellie and Gabby were sitting next to each other at the Airport. Gabby frowned at Ellie as she tugged on the hem of her red sweater. Her dark brown hair was tied back with a big bow while Ellie’s hair was tied up into a simple bun. Her original teal shirt was replaced with a gray vest over a teal button up with rolled up sleeves. Her skirt was longer, now slightly past her knees, and it was dark blue with light gray tights underneath. Gabby wore her signature red sweater, now with a teal heart on the chest and long blue jeans.
“Are you ok? You seem a little down.” Gabby pointed out. Ellie sighed.
“Yeah… It’s just… It feels strange. Going back to where it all began.” She admitted.
“A good strange, or a bad strange?” Gabby asked.
“Both. I’m glad to have another chance, but the bad memories keep coming back.” She admitted.
Gabby smiled.
“Don't worry, I’m sure this is our year to shine!” Gabby exclaimed.
Ellie chuckled. Tess smiled at this as well as she walked up to the two. She played with the loose strands of her long, dark blue hair that were pinned up with small white bows. Her crop top from the season before had changed to a black cropped tank top over a white turtleneck shirt. She wore a paint palette necklace and hair ties on her wrists. She wore thigh high white socks and simple black platform sneakers with her gray shorts.
“Hi! The plane hasn’t arrived yet? I thought I was late.” Tess admitted.
Ellie shook her head, still smiling.
“Not yet. It seems they’re a little late.”
“Did you see my text?” Ellie asked.
“Yeah, we actually study at the same university. I met her at orientation.” Ellie explained.
“Nice to meet you, Gabby. You two make for a great couple. It's uncommon for that to come out of a trashy reality show.” Tess said.
The three could then hear a plane flying overhead.
“Well, here they come. We better get going.” Ellie said as she stood up. Tess nodded.
“Right.”
- - -
Tess smiled as she walked onto the plane and saw Ally and Hunter.
“Ally, Hunter! Where has the time gone?” She asked.
“Awww! Samsies!” Ally said with a smile as she and Hunter both stood up, both embracing Tess.
“How have you been since we last saw you, Tess?” Hunter asked. Tess chuckled.
“I’ve been doing really well! I can’t complain.” She admitted.
Ellie and Gabby, on the other hand, did not receive as warm a welcome.
“Um, Hello. Is no one going to greet me?” She asked. Tom scoffed.
“No. After what you did to me last time around, I don’t think you deserve a greeting.” He snarled.
Miriam raised an eyebrow at her, not noticing the soft wince from Ellie. The ginger took a deep breath before she looked at the floor.
“You have some never to ask that, young lady. After everything you’ve done.” Jake nodded.
“Yeah, and that’s not even mentioning how you trashed us in those interviews after the game. Anything for money, right? Guess I shouldn’t be surprised.”
Ellie glared at him, her eyes filled with slight hurt and disgust.
“Ok, Jake. Guess I shouldn’t be surprised that you’re holding a grudge after two years. I guess you’re still a toxic boytoy and haven’t changed. Fine. You can hold your grudge. Let’s go, Gabs.”
Ellie and Gabby then walked off to a seat near the back, Gabby gently rubbing her girlfriend's hand.
- - -
Emily smirked at Ellie and Gabby from across the interview room.
E: Ellie, Gabby! Season 1’s token on screen sapphic couple! How are you two doing?”
EP: Uh, what?
E: she let out a soft chuckle
Anyways, Ellie, we’ve got some insider info that your fellow competitors weren’t too happy about what you said in your post-game interviews…
EP: She rolled her eyes in annoyance
They can get over it for all I care. It’s been two whole years. Seriously, at a certain point holding a grudge is just not worth it anymore. Besides, I didn’t say anything THAT bad.
E: she smirked softly at her
I’ll just roll the tape
The camera then zoomed in on a TV screen that was above Emily and showed a clip of Ellie in her post game interviews.
E: I heard Tom still ignores Jake’s calls. And I mean, can you blame him? Dealing with Jake should count as community service, the guy is insufferable to be around and is just a general dick. That’s not to say that Tom’s much better though, because the guy’s an idiot. I mean, what kind of dumbass comes onto Reality TV as a spy? He was just asking to get caught. Miriam’s twisted. Faking her own death just to test my sympathies? If that happens again, I’m letting her go towards the light. The Purple Team was a mess. Grett is one of, if not, the worst people I’ve ever met. I’ve heard she’s flipped things around recently, but I don’t buy it. The Purple Team was a mess. How did Ashley not see through Fiore immediately? Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. I mean, the girl lives on a farm in Texas. Her intelligence matches her homelife, that's all I’ll say. Alec told Fiore he wished his son were more like her. First off Alec, your standard for children is alarming. Second of all, why are you getting that attached to someone else’s child? I think you should be concerned over your own family, first. And as for Fiore? Well, I agree. She’s literally a demon child. I feel bad with her parents having to deal with her bullshit all the time. Hopefully she got sent to some place where she can fix her attitude.
G: She gave her girlfriend a concerned look before squeezing her hand gently
Ellie… I think you may have went a little too far…
EP: She scoffed and pouted
Well, I don’t regret it. I needed the money from those interviews, and besides, it’s not like anything I said was a lie.
E: She let out a soft chuckle
Oh, I can already tell you’ll be bringing the drama this season. Well, in any case, this interview is over.
- - -
Emily grinned at Tess as the two sat in the interview room together.
E: Tess! Our season 2 merge boot. Tell me, how does it feel to be back?.
T: She had a soft smile on her face
Pretty good. I’m definitely excited to see Ally and Hunter again. And getting to compete with Ellie and potentially getting to know Gabby as well could be fun.
E: She rolled her eyes
Oh, that’s just SO great. In any case, how did things work out between you, Ally, and Hunter after the game ended?
T: She smiled even more
Actually, I encouraged Ally to confess her feelings to Hunter after the game ended. But… I heard through the grapevine that they’re going through a rough patch right now. Hopefully I can help them out with that.
E: She let out a soft, annoyed scoff
Well… You certainly aren’t going to be good for drama. Anyways, next!

Ashley was sitting near the cows at her farm, her sisters Pam and Trisha with her when Pam pointed at the sky right before the plane landed. Ashley immediately shielded her little sisters as the dust kicked up, making the three sisters cover their eyes. The door opened and Pam started whining at Ashley, tears streaming down her face. Ashley sighed softly and kissed her little sister’s foreheads gently.
She then looked at Trisha and said, “Trish, can you make sure Pam is in bed before 9 PM and that all the chores are done around the farm?”
Trisha nodded and saluted them with a happy beam.
“Yess ma’am! We’ll miss you, Ash!”
Pam nodded and clung to Trisha’s hand before she whined. Ashley kissed her nose gently before she got on the plane. She sat next to Ellie and Gabby and stared at them before smiling awkwardly at them.
Gabby waved and cheered, “Yay! Maybe we’ll have all the girls from our season here!”
Smiling, the farmer said, “Well, maybe all besides Fiore.”
Leaning over Gabby, Ellie teased, “What? You think they’d invite Lill over the second placer?”
That earned her a smile from Ashley before she just shrugged.

Riya was pacing back and forth as she waited for Connor and the plane to arrive at the airport in LA. She was tugging on her fur coat and switching between tapping her heels as she paced and mumbling to herself. Her red jeans and yellow halter crop top didn't match her fancy brown fur coat along with her red heels. She wore a gold watch and simple golden necklace with an R charm dangling off of it. Her dark brown hair was tied up in a bun ponytail and she wore red lipstick along with light red eyeshadow and golden hoops.
“Riya, are you okay, hun?”
She spun around and beamed when she saw Connor, his dark maroon shirt and khaki shorts the same from S2. He held his arms out, showing a matching gold watch as Riya clung to him. He gently rubbed her head and she cuddled into his chest with a happy look. He smiled softly at her and looked up as the plane arrived.
“Are you ready, Riya? Remember, you should at least try and apologize to Aiden.”
She pouted but nodded before they got in the plane. Riya noticed the awkward or untrusting looks from Hunter, Ally, and Tess and her shoulders drooped. She sat down quietly and Connor rubbed her hand gently, making her smile. She kissed his cheek with a giggle. He held her close and kissed her softly, causing her to giggle happily.
- - -
Emily was grinning as she took the duo's looks in.
E: Well well well~. Aren't you two cozy? Are the dating rumors true?
C: Wha- Well… maybe they are, maybe they aren't.
R: She nodded quickly.
While I won't confirm if we're dating or not, I will confirm Connor’s been so sweet and loyal to me. He's been helping me advance my career and get roles other than just a villainess to an innocent little princess.
E: Ugh. Boring. I thought you were your season's main villain, Riya.
R: She immediately winced.
I… I'm trying to move past that… Besides, I regret the things that I did. I want to maybe try and be a hero this season.
E: Oh my gosh. Can we just move on then?
C: Rude much?
E: It's your fault for being boring.

The plane landed at an airport in Mexico where a tan young woman with messy red hair, sparkling gray eyes, and a big smile was standing, wearing a teal tank top with cut off jean shorts. Next to her was a pale young man with dark blonde and brown split dye hair, blue dyed into the tips of the blonde half and lake green eyes, wearing a darker red shirt with a white undershirt and black fingerless gloves, several silver piercings shining on his ears. A taller man with darker skin had his arm draped over his boyfriend's shoulders, his dark curls shining in the sun. He wore a yellow shirt with a darker hourglass on his chest and jeans. In front of them stood a young Hispanic woman with purple hair, her daughter clinging to her, her purple hair also shining.
Aiden cooed, “We'll see you later, Sofi. Be good for your mom, okay?”
With a giggle and a smile on her face, Lake added, “Don't cause her too much trouble.”
Sofia nodded and said, “Bye auntie Lake and Uncle Aiden! Bye Mr. James.”
Rosa rubbed her head before she said, “Make sure to kick Yul in the balls for me.”
Lake nodded before she, James, and Aiden boarded the plane. The second Aiden saw Riya, his eyes filled with hostility and he went right to her, worrying Lake and James.
Riya noticed and, before Aiden could say a word, she said, “I know why you're angry at me and it's completely understandable. I… I should have helped you instead of prioritizing the challenge and there's no excuse for what I did. You don't have to forgive me, but I'm sorry.”
Aiden looked surprised and closed his mouth before smiling awkwardly and looking around. He noticed Jake and gasped in excitement before sitting next to him. James pouted at his boyfriend and sat across from him.
Jake smiled at Aiden and held his hand out before Aiden said, “Oh my gods!! It's so great to meet you! You were my absolute favorite contestant in season 1!”
Jake looked surprised before smiling kindly and responding, “Well, it's great to meet a fan. Aiden, right? I was so disappointed when you lost in the final 3, but you and James are such a sweet couple.”
The duo started chatting, Aiden's entire focus now on Jake, making James pout with jealousy.
- - -
Emily sighed with a bored look before noticing the gleam in Aiden's eyes.
E: So, Aiden, tell me. How have you been this past year?
A: Pretty good. James and I met up with his family in Brazil and they're all so sweet. I also used the past year though to plan out a better strategy for this season.
E: She sat up with an excited look.
Oh really? Do tell~.
A: He had a slight smirk.
Well, I won't spill too much, but I won't be as passive and boring as last season. I'm really here to win this time
E: I'll take that as you plan to cause drama?
A: Well, drama here and there. But you'll see. But I'm hoping to get close to Jake. I honestly had some… feelings for him back when season 1 aired. I guess they didn't fully go away like I thought.
E: Ooh~. You're not afraid your boyfriend will get jealous~?
A: He burst into laughter and smirked
James isn't the jealous type. He knows he's the only man for me.

Alec was waiting at the airport for the plane, his white shirt looking out of place without his old sweater vest. He wore dark slacks, his brown hair in its normal high ponytail. He adjusted his glasses before he heard the soft clicks of heels. He looked behind him to see Grett standing there, her long, dark brown hair up in her regular ponytail. Alec looked her over with a slight smile at Grett’s pale blue halter top and yellow shorts. Her yellow high heels seemed to be similar to her season one heels but without the straps along with her golden bracelets. Alec noticed the golden ring on her left middle finger and a black choker with a small golden heart that rested gently between her collar bones. Alec lifted his eyebrow slightly at the ring before Grett leaned forward with a smile, her big green eyes sparkling with a slightly annoyed but almost hopeful shine.
“Well, hello Alec. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”
He nodded slightly before he replied, “I suppose so. I can see you’ve changed recently.”
Her eyes darkened for a split second before she said, “Well, it has been two years, hasn’t it? I’d be surprised if I looked the same. Not like you would know anyways since you never responded to a single text.”
He held his hands up with a slight smile before he said, “I apologize, Grett. It’s nice to see you again though.”
She gave a strained smile now, making him smile awkwardly too as the plane landed. Kristal looked annoyed slightly by them as they came on the plane.
“Finally. We have to go now.”
Before she could turn around, Grett said, “Wait, you’re forgetting about Yul. He’s running a little late because of traffic.”
Immediately, she got a lot of weird looks from the other All Stars. Before anyone could ask, Yul walked onto the plane with an annoyed look, his black crop top with flames on the bottom and gray jeans contrasting with Grett, who’d moved closer to him and gently grabbed his hand. He smiled at her and kissed her cheek before he moved his hand to her hip to hold her closer to him. She smiled and pulled him into a kiss, earning a gasp of shock from Gabby, Ally, Tess, and Riya. When he pulled back, Grett gave the four girls a confused look before Yul started complaining.
“The traffic was so fucking long, it’s ridiculous. I should have just run those parade goers over.”
Grett laughed quietly before Riya sassed, “Wow. You actually found someone who tolerates you, Yul?”
Glaring, he replied, “Shut the fuck up, you second rate actress. You wish that you could-”
Before he could finish his sentence, Grett put her hand over his mouth and snapped, “Darling, shut up. Please don't start any fights.”
Yul pouted at her before he smiled and pulled her hand gently to lead her to their seats. Alec sat behind her and glanced at Grett. She held Yul’s hand with a soft smile as she hummed. He kissed her cheek gently as they sat there, his fingers running through her hair softly.
- - -
E: So, Grett, tell us about your relationship with Yul.
G: Well, that was… an odd first question to ask? But we were set up by our managers. We went on a few dates and we fell in love.
E: Aww~. Even after his actions in season two?
G: I gave him the silent treatment after I found out then made him call Rosa to apologize to her. I’m not entirely sure that she accepted it, but he still did it.
E: Hmm. So, tell me, do you have any villainous plans this season~?
G: She sighed softly.
I actually don’t. I’ve been planning to play more heroically. I rewatched season one and I just… I regret so much of it.
E: Her eye started to twitch.
Why is nobody giving me any drama?!
G: She looked confused.
- - -
Ellie noticed the Chapel of Sicily and sighed before she nudged Ashley and Gabby to point. The women looked confused before Ashley realized and groaned.
“Are we really picking Fiore up?”
That immediately earned a groan of annoyance from Tom and Jake gave him an annoyed and slightly upset look while Aiden and James shared an almost disgusted look at the reactions from the season 1 campers.
The scene changed to show a young tan girl with dark brown hair tied into a bun, a scar over her left eye. She wore a light yellow sweater with light blue jean shorts. She had yellow sneakers with white details on them. Her chocolate brown eyes were filled with annoyance as she grumbled in angry Italian at the nun as she had to write, “I will not shoot nuns with tranquilizers" several times. She and the nun heard the plane land and, the second the nun got distracted, Fiore took her chance. She grabbed a book from the desk and threw it at her. She then grabbed her backpack and jumped out the window. She hissed in pain when she landed and rubbed her knee before she ran onto the plane, the nun following.
Fiore yelled, “Close the door! Close it!”
Kristal smirked before just holding up a wad of money to the nun, who paused before she took it and walked back off.

Ashley and Fiore shared annoyed looks as Fiore passed by her before Fiore paused and stuck her tongue out at the cowgirl. Ashley rolled her eyes in annoyance before she just looked away to chat with Ellie and Gabby.
When Fiore passed Grett and Yul, the dancer asked, “Isn’t that a child?”
Immediately, the little girl sassed, “And? You’re an ugly pimply bitch.”
She paused when she stared at the last empty seat and at the man sitting there.
“Alec? Hello…”
He just stared quietly at the girl before he looked away. Feeling awkward, Fiore then stepped back and climbed into Grett’s lap and nuzzled her, confusing the young woman. She awkwardly wrapped her arms around Fiore with a slight smile, making Yul pout slightly before he laid his head on hers. She smiled softly as the camera panned to Jake and Aiden talking, Aiden’s hand resting on Jake’s armrest with a kind smile. Jake was smiling softly as James watched him from across the aisle. His dark eyes had an unreadable expression but he seemed to be watching Jake to make sure he didn't hurt Aiden in any way.
Ashley had started talking with Tess from across the aisle, both women smiling as Tess was giggling at something the farmer had said. Fiore was looking bored as Grett and Yul slept, Yul’s hand intertwined with Grett’s. Lake was reading with a smile as Hunter was gently nuzzling Ally's cheek as he played with a Rubik's cube. Connor and Riya were chatting, Riya’s eyes sparkling as they talked before she placed a soft kiss to Connor's lips. Alec was looking out the window as Gabby and Ellie cuddled happily.
Kristal stepped out of the cockpit with a grin, Oliver and Marcus behind her.
“Hello campers! It’s time to meet the staff. Oliver is now part of production!”
The tiny man waved with a bright smile as Aiden gasped happily and Connor gave him a thumbs up.
Kristal smiled happily at Marcus before she said, “Marcus and Nina are rejoining our staff, along with a new member.”
Emily stepped out from Kristal with a wide smile.
Continuing, the hostess said, “And we have two new interns. Derek and Trevor!”
Gabby looked angry at Derek and the rest of season one looked shocked, Trevor looked awkward while Derek looked like a wet cat.
Gabby snapped, “Shouldn’t those two be in prison?!”
Kristal grinned and said, “I paid the bail for them so that they can be my interns!”
Derek mumbled, “Should have stayed in prison.”
Kristal rolled her eyes at him before she said, “Anyways, you’ll all have to grab a parachute and jump from the plane since we don’t have clearance to land.”
Ashley, obviously upset about that, snapped, “You didn’t ask for permission to land on my farm. Why do you care now?”
Aiden, having grabbed Jake’s hand, said, “There’s no way in hell you’re getting me to jump off the damn plane.”
When murmurs of agreement spread, Kristal grinned and said, “Well, to encourage you, the prize this year has tripled! The season’s winner will be receiving three million dollars.”
Everyone looked shocked before Ellie, looking determined, stood up and walked over to the parachutes and grabbed one, Ellie quickly following. Tom glanced at Jake before he also grabbed a parachute. When they jumped, the others seemed to snap out of their shock and they started grabbing parachutes and jumping. Aiden faltered and looked nervous before he felt two hands on his shoulders. James and Jake smiled softly at him and he smiled back before Jake jumped, James pulling Aiden with him as he followed. Riya smiled at Connor as they joined other campers.
Riya realized Connor had a yellow parachute while she had a magenta one and, shocked, exclaimed, “No! Connor, don't do anything stupid!”
He smiled at her and nodded as the camera showed Grett and Yul smiling since they had the same colored parachutes. Gabby and Ellie also were smiling while Ashley and Fiore stared silently at each other.
Jake glanced at James when he realized they both had magenta parachutes and Aiden said, “James, Jake, no!”
Jake laughed at the man he’d just met, earning a pout from Aiden before he smiled as the camera panned around to show Tom, Miriam, and Alec all had yellow parachutes.
Ally and Hunter were upset to be separated, Ally with a yellow parachute and Hunter with a magenta parachute. but Hunter said, “Alls, make it far, babe. You got this.”
She smiled lovingly as the camera panned to Tess, who had a yellow parachute like Ally. Lake had a cyan parachute like Aiden, making her beam. Aiden beamed back at his friend and waved at her.
