《BFB Voting Thingy》Episode 16: Run it Down for Me
Advertisement
*The contestants that are on the ground are sitting around, waiting for news*
Marker: Uh... no grudges, Liy?
Liy: Just... fine. I can't stay mad at you, you just tried to help your team win, like I did mine.
Tennis Ball: At least you guys won trying! We lost, and it's because of our little block friend...
Basketball: Yeah! This is unfair!
8-Ball: Eh. I'm fine with it. We needed to lose, anyways.
Basketball: NEEDED?
8-Ball: Yeah. If we didn't lose, we would've just caused more problems. We need someone to leave to set us straight.
Basketball: Gosh, and I thought TV was the insane one...
TV: I can hear you :(
Basketball: Whatever, I'm still angry!
*Announcer pops up* Announcer: Hello, everyone!
Golf Ball: What, do you want us to do the elimination?
Announcer: No. Someone needs to get those guys on the balloons down. Can you do it for us, Nickel?
Nickel: I don't know, I mean it's really high up and-
*Announcer gives Nickel Needle* Announcer: Take this.
*Nickel holds Needle* Nickel: Okay, I guess. Just let me aim... and... GO! *Nickel throws Needle as far as possible*
Announcer: Haha. That was pointless. Everyone on the balloons is right here.
Leafy: Hey, Nickel!
*Teardrop waves menacingly*
Nickel: OH. Wow.
Barf Bag: So, uh... are you gonna recover Bomby?
Woody: And Balloony!
*Bomby and Balloony pop up*
Balloony: Wow! I'm so thankful you guys remembered to recover me!
Bomby: Did we win?
Gelatin: Yeah!
Bomby: Nice!
Announcer: Now that that's settled, it's time for Cake at Stake.
TV: *Plays the Cake at stake intro*
Announcer: We got 15 votes. The prize today is a piece of Grassy's hair.
Tennis Ball: Grassy's hair? Why is there so much of it?
Basketball: We kind of... had an accident when we gave him a haircut...
Golf Ball: Whatever.
Announcer: Tennis Ball is the first one safe with 0 votes!
Tennis Ball: Yaaaayyy!!! *Grabs Grassy's hair* Oh.
Announcer: Blocky is the next one safe, with just one vote.
Blocky: Oh yeah!
Golf Ball: HIM?! He's safe, but not me!?
Announcer: Yes. The mechanical minds, Robot Flower and TV are also safe.
Robot Flower: Good job TV! We're both still in!
TV: Wow... I'm safe? *TV gets a slice of Grassy's hair* I guess I didn't end up like you, old friend.
Robot Flower: But... Basketball isn't safe either! This is bad!
TV: Oh, yeah...
Announcer: Out of Basketball, Golf Ball, and 8-Ball...
*Basketball is shuddering, Golf Ball is looking at a piece of paper, and 8-Ball doesn't seem amused*
8-Ball: So...?
Announcer: Golf Ball and Basketball are safe, with 3 votes. 8-Ball, I'm sorry to say, but you're eliminated with 4. I'll miss you, as you were the most monochrome contestant.
8-Ball: Sigh... whatever.
Basketball: That's it? You aren't gonna say any motivating words or anything?
8-Ball: What else is there to say? Goodbye...?
Robot Flower: Oh... this is awkward.
8-Ball: Yeah. I'm gonna go now- *8-Ball disappears*
Tennis Ball: Heh, he got eliminated on the 16th episode. Which is 8 times 2!
Golf Ball: Heh, yeah. My chances of winning just went from 2 percent, to 2.04081633!
Tennis Ball: Wh- where did everyone else go?
Announcer: They left. You should probably leave, too. *Announcer teleports away.*
Golf Ball: Rude!
*Bracelety and Bottle watch from afar, in a bush* Bottle: Oh no, 8-Ball got eliminated! He was apart of our mutual team alliance, remember!?
Bracelety: S-so? He never really contributed, he kinda just... joined. I miss him too, but it's really not a big deal. Ice Cube, on the other hand-

Bottle: Bracelety, it's fine, really. It's just... I don't get why our members keep getting eliminated! I don't know- what if we're next!? We aren't really well liked...
Bracelety: Look... you can't keep grieving about this. All it does is cause more pain, Firey told me. Think of it like this... if you are continuing for 8-Ball and Pillow, people will be bound to be on your side!
Bottle: Huh... yeah! You're right, Bracelety! Thanks!
*Donut walks up* Donut: Come on, Bracelety. We need to go, the next challenge is gonna start soon.
Bracelety: Donut, wait! :0 *Bracelety is dragged away*
*Announcer POV* Announcer: Hello, guys. How was last challenge?
Bubble: It was fun!
Fanny: I don't think it was! I hated it!
Flower: You hate everything...
Remote: I think it was boring.
Pen: Yeah, I sure wonder how fun it must have been to be PUSHED OFF!
Marker: I was helping my team!!
Pen: Ugh, forget it...
Lollipop: Dora, you were the one who threw me off, weren't you?!
Dora: ADDADAADA (Yeah.)
Lollipop: Don't think I'll just brush that off. That hurt, y'know?
Gaty: I mean, you weren't the one who got blasted in the face by a bomb...
Taco: Yeah! That really did hurt!
Announcer: So, it looks like you all had tons of fun. But, are you guys ready for our next challenge?
Spongy: Agh... already?
Eggy: Sorry, Spongy, but you need to deal with it. I thought I could breeze through the competition too, trust me.
Bell: Yeah, it's not that easy.
Announcer: Okay, looks like you are. The 16th challenge is a race! One person will have to carry another person around a tree and back, and then that person will carry someone else... and you get the memo. Once you reach the last member out of the 6, they will have to run a lap by themselves.
Match: Like, wait! We have seven members!
Snowball: Yeah, how do we manage that?!
Announcer: I guess you just make someone sit out.
*Match leans on Bubble* Match: Like, Bub, who do we choose?
Bubble: Well, gee. Moitch, I don't really kno- *pops*
Lightning: Looks like we know who we're sitting out.
Ruby: Yeah.
Announcer: Shush, sheesh. Go.
*Death P.A.C.T. POV* Liy: I can't really hold you, Black Hole...
Black Hole: Oh, huh? Yeah, don't worry about that. I'll just hover above you.
Liy: Oh, nice! *Liy and Black Hole make it across the tree*
Black Hole: Y'know, how do you feel about Pillow being gone? I haven't heard anything from you since she got eliminated.
Liy: Well, on one hand, we don't have to deal with her running off... but on the other hand, her nagging did give me something to do in the meantime...
Black Hole: Yeah, I understand...
Liy: Oh, hey, we're back!
*Remote walks up* Remote: So, Black Hole, now you have to... carry me. Somehow.
Black Hole: I can suck you into my gravitational force, and keep you inside my gravity without sucking you up.
Remote: Doesn't that seem a little dangerous...?
Black Hole: Oh, I've only been a black hole for 13 billion years, don't you think I would know how to control my force?
Remote: Fair point.
*The Losers POV* Pin: Okay, Coiny! We just passed the tree!
Coiny: Huh. That was fast! Okay, so we're heading back now, right?
Pin: Yep...
Coiny: Is something wrong, Pin?
Pin: Nothing really, it's just doing all of these challenges takes stuff out of you, doesn't it? Only like, 15 people have been eliminated so far!
Coiny: Pin, could you not have known this competition was gonna take a long time when we started?
Advertisement
Pin: I guess, but still... I think I need to rest after this...
Coiny: Alright, there's some sleeping bags across the street.
Pin: Phew... alright Coiny, you're gonna run now!
Coiny: And I'm with... Needle.
Needle: Hey, Coiny! Ready to run?
Coiny: Eh, sure.
*Team Ice Cube POV* Barf Bag: How... is this... even fair...?!
Spongy: Just go slow and steady, Barf Bag. You'll stop having to hold me before you know it.
Barf Bag: When I slow down, you feel MORE heavy!
Spongy: Uh huh. Sure.
Barf Bag: I'm sorry if I'm rude, Spongy, it's just... you're really heavy...
Spongy: Yeah, I get that. Whatever, we're almost at the finish anyways.
*Barf Bag gets to the finish* Barf Bag: Finally!
Spongy: So who do I carry?
Donut: Uh... me.
Spongy: Well, climb on top!
*Donut climbs on Spongy* Donut: Huh, so I just... sit here?
*Spongy starts walking* Spongy: Yep!
Donut: Okay, then... How's it going?
*BEEP POV* Nickel: I can't really carry you, Cloudy. You just have to walk on top of me, I guess.
Cloudy: Sounds fine to me!
Nickel: Y'know, I don't think our team is all that productive?
Cloudy: What's that supposed to mean?
Nickel: I'm not trying to say we're dysfunctional... but Rocky can't even talk, Woody is scared of everything, and Leafy... oh, Leafy.
Cloudy: I see what you mean. But if you only look at the downsides of our team, you'll never see the good side!
Nickel: Huh?
Cloudy: Rocky has helped us win challenges, Woody is getting braver, and Leafy...
Nickel: Oh, hey! We're finished!
Balloony: So, Cloudy. It's my turn to get on you! *Balloony jumps on Cloudy* Let's go!
Cloudy: I'm on it! *Cloudy flies Balloony through the race*
*BLEH POV* Lollipop: Taco, don't go so fast! I'm gonna fall!
Taco: I'm sorry Lollipop, but I was being carried by Saw for the last 20 minutes! I feel like I need to go fast!
Lollipop: Fine, whatever. Just be careful.
*Taco passes the tree* Taco: See, Lolli? I'm doing just fine!
Lollipop: Okay, sure. Just... there's a rock, you might wanna-
*Taco slips and falls, but Lollipop catches herself*
Taco: Ow.
Lollipop: I told you, Taco. Now hurry up, we're almost done.
*Taco gets up, grabs Lollipop, and goes to the finish* Taco: Ugh...
Lollipop: Okay... so I hold... Teardrop?
*Teardrop looks at Lollipop with a thumbs up*
Lollipop: Okay then...
*iance POV* Snowball: Ugh... this is taking forever! When are Match and Ruby coming back?
Lightning: They should be back soon.
Snowball: When do I go?
Flower: It says here... you go last.
Snowball: Aw, come on!
Match: We're back!
Ruby: Yeah! That was surprisingly fast! Anyways, who do I carry?
Fanny: You carry me!
Ruby: Oh... okay, then. Just try not to be too loud.
Fanny: I hate the fact you thought I was loud!
Match: Like, no offense, Fanny... but you ARE pretty loud.
Fanny: Whatever, just go!
Ruby: Okay, sure. *Ruby starts to run with Fanny*'
Fanny: Why are you so fast?!
Ruby: Don't you want to win?
Fanny: Yeah, but this is DANGEROUS! *Ruby barely dodges a tree*
Ruby: See, Fanny? Totally safe, no problems.
Fanny: I feel sick...
*Ruby makes it back* Ruby: Okay, Fanny. Now it's your turn to carry someone!
Fanny: Ugh... who?
Flower: LIghtning.
Lightning: You can't really carry me... wait, I have an idea.
Flower: What is that?
Lightning: What if I just hold Fanny, but I make it look like he's holding me?
Fanny: Ehh... sure.
*Lightning grabs Fanny, and starts to take off*
*Flower grabs her notepad* Flower: Okay, and after Fanny's done.. it's me. And then Snowball, going last.
Match: Guys, I'm like going to get speaker box to recover Bubble.
Snowball: Well, since I'm going LAST, I might as well just go too!
*Match and Snowball leave* Flower: Whatever.
*ABNTT POV* Tennis Ball: Hey, GB, are you steady up there?
Golf Ball: You know I am!
Tennis Ball: Alright, we're almost finished, anyways.
Golf Ball: Oh, wait... Who do I carry?
Tennis Ball: Blocky carried me... so you're gonna carry Basketball!
Golf Ball: Seriously? *GB and TB arrive with the rest of their team*
Robot Flower: Okay, Basketball, your turn!
Basketball: I know... *Basketball hops on GB*
Golf Ball: How... am I... gonna manage this?!
Blocky: Oh, come on, GB. If Barf Bag could hold Spongy, you can hold Basketball.
Golf Ball: Ugh... fair point. *Golf Ball starts walking with Basketball*
Basketball: So... how's the weather?
Golf Ball: Seriously...? You're gonna.. ask that?!
*Free Food POV* Eraser: Okay, here you go, Stapy.
Stapy: Thanks for the ride, Eraser. Who do I walk with?
Marker: Uhhh... Foldy.
Foldy: Hey, Stapy! You get to carry me!
Stapy: Oh, sweet! *Stapy and Foldy start walking towards the tree at a steady pace*
Puffball: Stapy is faster than I thought he would be...
Bell: I mean, just because he's heavy, doesn't make him unable to move.
Marker: And then Foldy carries me! And after THAT, I carry... Puffball?
Puffball: You can just grab me, you know. Just because I fly, that doesn't make me impossible to hold.
Marker: Huh.
*Announcer POV* Announcer: Here are the current standings.
iance- 2/6 members done (Match, Ruby)
BEEP- 3/6 members done (Nickel, Cloudy, Balloony)

Match: Wait! Can you like, recover Bubble?
Snowball: Yeah, it's not the same without her here!
Announcer: Bubble isn't competing in this challenge, though.
Snowball: Can you just recover her already!?
Announcer: Fine. *Bubble pops into existence*
Bubble: Huh?! Who did we sit out?!
Match: ...
Bubble: You sat out me, didn't you...
Snowball: Doesn't matter, let's just go. *Snowball grabs Bubble, and walks off*
*Team Ice Cube POV* Donut: Ugh... it's really hot.
Gelatin: Yeah... I'm getting all soggy from it...!
Donut: It wasn't this hot when Spongy was running, what happened?
Gelatin: It's like 2 pm Donut, Spongy started running at like 12:30 pm...
Donut: Oh... Huh, it felt shorter.
Gelatin: Hey, I see the finish!
*Donut quickly walks to the rest of his team*
Gelatin: Yay! We're finished. Okay, who's getting on top of me?
Spongy: Bracelety. Bomby goes last.
Gelatin: Oh, okay! *Gelatin drags Bracelety on top of him, and starts walking*
Bracelety: Hey! I was in the middle of something!
Gelatin: Yeah, you were drawing Ice Cube again. Can't you get over her?
Bracelety: ...No!
Gelatin: *sigh* Your loss.
*Death P.A.C.T POV* Remote: Okay... I finished... with Pen...
Pen: Yeah! Who do I hold?!
Bottle: Me!
Pen: Oh... hey, Bottle.
Bottle: Come on, Pen! No time to waste!
Pen: Yeah! You're right! *Pen grabs Bottle, and runs off*
Bottle: Heehee!
Remote: *sigh* I'm... tired.
Tree: What's the problem, Remote?
Remote: I think... I need... a new battery.
Tree: Hey, Black Hole! Go get Remote a battery!
Black Hole: Okay... but where...?
Tree: Somewhere!
Black Hole: *sigh* Fine. *Black Hole flies away*
Liy: OMG! Remote, are you okay?
Remote: Maybe...
*Free Food POV* Foldy: Hey, Marker! I see the finish!
Marker: Really?
Foldy: Of course! Look, right there!
Marker: Wow, for one of the lightest contestants, you run fast!
*Foldy and Marker get to the finish* Marker: Yay!!!!
Stapy: Good job, Foldy!
Foldy: Thanks, Stapy!
Marker: Okay, Puffball! Let's go! *Marker grabs Puffball*
Puffball: This is gonna be fun...
Marker: It sure will!
*Iance POV* Lightning: Here you go, Fanny!
Fanny: Ugh... I feel dizzy...
Flower: So now, you carry me, right?
Fanny: Yeah, I think so...
Flower: Okay then, let's fly!
*Lightning grabs Flower, and flies off really fast*
Flower: WOAH! Stop going so fast!
Lightning: But, this is what you wanted, right?
Flower: Oh... huh, yeah.
Match: We're, like, back!
Snowball: And we got Bubble too!
Bubble: Hoi guys!
Fanny: Hey Bubble, we're almost finished.
Bubble: Yay! Boit I wish I could've participated in the challenge too :(
Lightning: I'm back.
Flower: Ugh.. Come on Snowball, I need to carry you...
*Snowball gets on top of Flower* Snowball: Don't call me FAT.
Flower: You're strong...? Of course you would have some weight on you, I don't see why it's such a big deal.
Snowball: Just go!
Flower: Fine. *Flower walks off with Snowball*
*Bleh POV* Gaty: Teardrop! Hurry up! It's been 25 minutes now!
*Teardrop stops walking, drops Gaty, and slaps her in the face*
Gaty: Owwww!!! What was THAT for!?
*Teardrop grabs Gaty and keeps walking*
Gaty: Hey, are you listening to me!? Teardrop!?
Saw: Geez, they don't seem very happy...
Dora: DADADADA (You don't think?)
Saw: Well, maybe Teardrop is mad about something...?
Taco: I'm sure we'll never know what, because she won't say it to us.
Saw: Well, I can talk to Dora just fine, and she can't really talk!
Dora: DADADADA (You know Doraese, Saw. I know we can understand eachother.)
Lollipop: Give me a break. They still aren't done?!
Taco: Nope.
Saw: See, Lollipop. I'm not slow, they are!
*The Losers POV* Clock: Okay, so since Needle brought me back, that means it's my turn to hold someone. So, who is it?
Needle: You're holding... Firey.
Clock: HIM?! But he's FIRE! I'll melt!!
Firey: Get over it, Clock. Just go fast, and we'll be fine...
Clock: UGH... FINE! *Firey stands on top of Clock* I can already feel the heat...
Firey: Come on, Clock. Go!
*Clock walks at a slow pace*
Eggy: Ugh... He's never gonna finish, is he?
Coiny: Don't be like that! Just give him some time!
Needle: It's kinda hard to when he's going 2 feet per hour... all I'm saying is, he better hurry up.
Coiny: Sigh... I guess so.
Clock: Ugh... I feel... horrible...
Firey: Clock, the tree is right there. Just pass it, go back, and we'll be fine.
Clock: Okay... I guess... but I feel like I'm melting...
Firey: Oh, geez, you're just kiddi...ng. Uh... you might wanna hurry up, because you ARE melting!
Clock: I... tolddd... youu!! Ugh...
*ABNTT POV* *Robot Flower gets on Basketball* Basketball: While we're walking, can I talk to you about something, Robot Flower?
Robot Flower: Sure!
Basketball: Y'know, I just don't get how TV is acting after he's apologized to me... We haven't even seen him since the elimination! How are we supposed to win if he's not even here!?
Robot Flower: Maybe he just... doesn't know how to make it up to you?
Basketball: I know him. That's certainly not the case.
Robot Flower: I know him, too. Plus, you can't just resent him. Maybe his behavior is because of your resentment towards him?

Settlement of Safehaven - A Hearthtree Series
"Welcome to the ECS Asgard, your ride through the stars to your new home-" Or so goes the sales spiel of this one of four and first-produced colonization ship, a spiel meant to placate the portions of humanity who would be selected for such a journey through the stars. It was meant to be a simple thing; people would sleep in hibernation or stasis, to experience their lives within the virtual reality world which kept their minds occupied. The virtual world was meant to simulate a fantasy world of Viking or Roman lore. But not all with this virtual world was fine; nor were the humans who were selected for its maiden and only voyage. One colonist lost everything dear to him, but through his pain and torment, he gained the attention of the colony ship's AI.

The watcher of universe and stuff.
The most devastating thing to an eternal being must be boredom. If nothing can change you, how can you yourself change? Sometimes you have to learn that the hard way. I should point out that there are multiple lead characters and they will all have their own personalities and motivations. While the story will focus more on our MC Trey, you can expect multiple POV switches. If you do not like POV switches, this might not be for you. My first book. If anyone will ever read this, be so kind as to leave a comment. Even, if all you say is an insult. As long as I can improve this work by your comment, it's all fine. One thing’s for sure. I will keep writing as if my reader can handle curse words without curling into a little ball and repeatedly saying: "Leave my safe-space alone, you monster". Therefore, you can expect some profanity.
