Woody: Uh. Rocky? Are you there?

*Rocky looks over at Woody* Rocky: Hm?

Woody: Oh, hey Rocky! It's been a minute since we talked... after the whole mall fiasco... How have you been recently?

Rocky: Bleh!

Woody: Rocky... I know you can talk... No one's around. It's fine with me.

Rocky: Shhh!! *Rocky points to Bubble, sitting across from Woody. *

Bubble: Oh, Hoi guys! What's popping?

Woody: Uh, um... Wuh, Bubble could you, uh, go?

Bubble: Oh, do you just... need a moment?

Woody: Yeah, kind of. So, can you go?

*Bubble walks away, looking a little disappointed*

Rocky: Thanks, Woody. What were you saying again?

Woody: You know... How have you been? What's up? What do you do?

Rocky: I just sit here... and do my own thing?

Woody: I- yo- you... Just sit around and do nothing all day?

Rocky: Pretty much. If not that, those Death P.A.C.T'ers are all up in my face. They're nice, and it's nice to talk to them, but... I just wish I could have some time to calm down and reconnect with my old team some more...

Woody: I get you, man. Say, wanna go get some drinks?

Rocky: Sure!

*Woody and Rocky leave the area*

Bubble: Is this scene supposed to be over yet? Can I stay?

*Meanwhile, with Team Ice Cube* Barf Bag: Guys, we need to think about yesterday. I get that we're all tense right now, but this can be solved without anything going wrong.

Gelatin: Personally, I think Donut is a big crybaby who needs to grow up. He shouldn't just be able to scream at us like that! We're a team!

Bomby: I want to be as neutral as possible in this, but Gelly has a fair claim. Donut was a little harsh.

Bottle: I'm just scared of one of us getting out. We were going so good before!

Bracelety: Psh.. no worry Bottle. Donut's definitely getting out. The viewers hate screamers!

Bottle: Alright. But Donut is still our friend, right?

Gelatin: If you call him a friend, that's pathetic...

*The whole group is quiet.*

Barf Bag: This hurts... I wish none of us had to go... But sadly, that's just how it is, I guess.

*Team Ice Cube hears a dinging sound*

Bomby: What was that?

Announcer: It's my new elimination sound. Instead of manually teleporting you guys, I will just use that sound.

Gelatin: but what if we just... don't go to the elimination area? What then?

Announcer: Your loss. Now follow me.

Bottle: Your loss? Weird... *Bottle and the rest of the team, besides Donut, follow Announcer to the elimination area*

Announcer: This time, we only got 12 votes. Not too many, but reasonable.

Bracelety: Ah, this is a little scary... by the way, what's the prize?

Announcer: Just this plush of Ice Cube.

Bracelety: Oh... wow. Yeah, nice.

Announcer: The only person with zero votes was Barf Bag, meaning she's safe.

Barf Bag: Nice!

Announcer: Next up, with 1 vote each, are Bomby and Gelatin.

Bomby: Splendid.

Gelatin: Whatever. Yay.

Announcer: Next, is Donut, with two votes. Woah, wait, where is he?

Barf Bag: We haven't seen the guy once all day.

Gelatin: Probably for the best, heh... Wait, Donut is safe!? Why?!

Bottle: No... but that means...

Bracelety: This can't be! Why are me and Bottle in the final two!? We did EVERYTHING to stop it! We tried to make an alliance... we tried to be good...

Announcer: ... I am sorry about that. Do you want to get the results over with, or do you wnat to wait.

Bottle: Give us the results...

Announcer: Alright. At 3 votes, Bottle is safe. But Bracelety...

*The team is in shock*

Announcer: You are eliminated with 5 votes.

Bracelety: Sigh... It's alright, guys. I should've known I wouldn't have made it far...

Bottle: Bracelety... don't say that.

Barf Bag: Yeah, you were a great person to have on the team!

Bomby: Here, take this as a gift. *Bomby hands over the Ice Cube plush he got to Bracelety*

Gelatin: Yeah, you can have mine too...

*The rest of the team gives Bracelety their plushes.*

Bracelety: Wow, guys... I didn't realize you cared for me this much... I can't thank you enough.

Bottle: So... I guess this is goodbye, huh?

Bracelety: It seems so... it was really nice to meet you guys, though...

Gelatin: Same for you, Bracelety...

Bomby: We'll remember you, comrade.

Barf Bag: And who knows, you could even find Ice Cube wherever you go!

Bracelety: Heh, Ice Cube... I would love to even meet her again...

Announcer: Are you ready?

Bracelety: Yes.

Announcer: We shall meet again someday. *Bracelety disappears.*

Gelatin: Well... we should get going, right guys?

*Bottle does not move*

Bomby: Hey, Bottle, are you alright?

Bottle: ...

*Bottle looks at Bomby*

Bottle: I need a few minutes to myself.

*Meanwhile, in the main area, with BLEH* Taco: Are you guys worried about Saw?

Lollipop: Why do you ask, Taco?

Taco: I don't know, she's just been acting kind of... weird lately.

Gaty: I mean, I don't know if it has to be such a big deal. She's just been dealing with some stuff.

Puffball: What do you mean by "stuff?" Tax evasion?

Taco: Maybe not say that so loud, Puffy??? People can hear you??

Puffball: I don't care.

Gaty: It's probably fine, right? We just... outran the law... and are probably on a list somewhere... nothing too worrying, right?

Lollipop: Probably not.

*On the other side of the room, ABNTT watches*

Golf Ball: What in the world is going on with those numbskulls?

Basketball: I'm not sure, but it seems fishy...

TV: I think everything is fine, and we should not interfere.

Basketball: And who said you get to make my decisions?

TV: Me. *TV sits down*

Robot Flower: But, TV, they make a point. I would like to see what the scoop is with those BLEHians.

TV: BLEHians? What kind of nickname is that?

Robot Flower: Hey! I'm bad at naming... :(

TV: Whatever, I'm leaving.

Basketball: Geez, that guy is sometimes bipolar. I don't know what's up with him.

Blocky: I wish I had answers to that guy. Really do.

Golf Ball: Guys, forget about TV. The next challenge is about to start.

Announcer: Are you guys ready for your next challenge?

Pen: Another challenge?

Eraser: Pen, we have these nearly daily. The novelty of a new one should be worn off by now.

Pen: Sometimes I wonder why I even try to be excited...

Announcer: Shush, sheesh. The 24th challenge is going to be a challenge of endurance.

Lightning: Oh boy, I sure love those...

Ruby: I can do that all day, Thunder, so no need to worry!

Lightning: I told you not to call me that!

Announcer: The challenge will involve you guys staying in a cluttered tent. The first team to have even one of their members leave the tent, loses!

Gelatin: Woah, speaker man. We haven't seen Donut all day, and Bottle just needs a moment to herself. Are they excused.

Announcer: Sure.

Balloony: Well, I need a moment too! Can I be excused!?

Announcer: Because you were so rude, no.

Balloony: Dang it.

Announcer: The challenge begins now! *All teams are transported to a tent in a random forest*

*Free Food POV*

Foldy: This is cramped. I'm not sure if I like it.

Stapy: Well, we don't have to worry about being here long. We just have to worry about if we're the ones leaving first.

Marker: Its cramped, but I don't feel like losing today.

Eraser: Well, since it's gonna be a while, anyone wanna talk?

Tennis Ball: I just want to say I really value guys as a team.

Foldy: Wow, really?

Tennis Ball: Yeah. You guys have just a nicer atmosphere than the last team I was on. I feel comfortable here.

Stapy: I'm glad we make you feel comfy!

Eraser: Yeah, TB. You're a great guy once I got to know you.

Marker: I used to think you were weird. But now I think your cool weird.

Stapy: Real nice coming out of you, Marker.

Marker: What? What do you mean?

Tennis Ball: Heh, I love y'all...

*...*

Tennis Ball: P-platonically, of course.

Stapy: LOL.

*BEEP POV*

Leafy: So, Balloony, what was that about?

Balloony: What was WHAT about?!

Leafy: ...That?

*Balloony turns away*

Leafy: What- what's up with him?

Cloudy: I'm not sure, but it's just best to leave him alone.

Nickel: Yeah... It's obvious he's not in the best mood right now. So just don't mess with him.

Leafy: But I want to know?

Woody: *whispering* Leafy, this is a bad idea right now.

Leafy: Look, guys, I'm just gonna find out what's up with him.

Balloony: Don't waste your time.

Cloudy: Leafy, don't do it. It's not a good idea.

Leafy: Cloudy, please. I have this handled. *Leafy turns* So, what's the problem, Balloony?

Balloony: *sigh* You. You are the problem, Leafy.

Leafy: Me?! But what did I do to you?

Balloony: Exactly! It's always "What did I do!" or "It's not my fault!" You're insufferable, Leafy! You're just a waste who never takes any blame on herself! And don't even get me started with the Firey stuff...

Leafy: The Firey stuff was a long time ago! And we're neutral, anyways!

Balloony: That's all you cared about! Firey, because he didn't like you! Not even one thought for us! Not even one thought for little one...

Leafy: That's wrong! Remember when we were in the mall!

Balloony: Yeah, now that he was gone, you suddenly cared for him! Just stop, Leafy. I don't want to hear whatever excuse you come up with.

Leafy: ...

Woody: I told you...

*Death P.A.C.T. POV*

Pen: This is boring.

Tree: Well, do you want to be consumed by Black Hole? I didn't think so.

Rocky: Mhm!

Black Hole: Guys, make sure Rocky doesn't wander off. That would be catastrophic, since he could get sucked up.

Remote: I know. And I have him in check just fine, for your information.

Rocky: Bleh!

Tree: You know, team. I would say we've done a pretty fine job at preventing death so far, wouldn't you guys say?

Pen: I would agree, yeah.

Remote: Same here!

Rocky: Yeh!

Black Hole: I guess. But I feel like more of a liability than anything.

Tree: Don't feel down, BH! It's just good that you don't use your powers for evil or anything.

Black Hole: True.

Pen: Uh, I'm tired. Wake me up when we win... *Pen falls asleep*

Remote: Heh, same! *Remote goes on sleep mode*

*The Losers POV*

Pin: I hope Eugene is okay.

Needle: Pin, you say this every day. Eugene is fine.

Pin: Alright, I just am very overprotective of the little guy!

Coiny: That sure shows.

Clock: I mean, do you think we should release him into the wild one day?

Pin: Clock!

Clock: He deserves to live his own life, right? We can't just shelter him all his life.

Coiny: I never looked at it that way. Do you think he deserves to be free?

Pin: Coiny, it's just a bug. Do you think he can live all on his own?

Needle: He seems pretty fine on his own, from what I can tell.

Pin: No, no way we're getting rid of him!

Clock: Calm down Pin. We're not getting rid of him; we're just wondering if he should be sent to the wild.

Needle: You can still see him.

Coiny: He could even make a bug house and have a bug family!

Pin: A bug... family?

Clock: Oh, yeah! A bug family!

Pin: Hm... *Pin looks at Eugene* Give me some time to think.

Coiny: Speaking of buggers, what is TD doing?

*The team takes a glance at Teardrop*

*...*

Coiny: Maybe it's best if we leave her alone.

*BLEH POV*

Gaty: So, Saw...

Saw: Hm? What is it?

Gaty: Are you okay? You've seemed kind of disconnected to the rest of the team.

Saw: Oh, yeah... I'm alright. I've just been under some pressure.

Puffball: Pressure as in... being a fraud?

Lollipop: That's rude.

Puffball: I'm right.

Saw: Yeah, she's right. I'm a cheat, and I don't think I can keep it under the radar for much longer.

Taco: Oh, Saw. It's alright! Don't beat yourself up about it. We'll be fine.

Saw: Taco, we were chased out of a mall by the police.

Taco: No worries. They probably forgot we were even there.

Saw: Don't you remember what they said? They distinctively remembered me!

Lollipop: Yeah, but they are gone. So, like Taco said. No worries.

Gaty: But if you ever feel down, Saw. I'm here.

Saw: Thanks, guys. I think that... I might get some rest.

Gaty: Rest is good!

Puffball: Sleep while you still can.

Lollipop: And what is that supposed to mean?

*ABNTT POV*

Robot Flower: So... any of you guys want to leave?

Golf Ball: Why would you ask that!? That's a dumb question, we'd lose!

Robot Flower: It was rhetorical.

Blocky: Little Golf Ball is mad from being cooped up!

Golf Ball: You shush.

TV: Imagine lmao

Golf Ball: Oh, and you especially need to shut up, TV!

TV: how about no :le troll:

Golf Ball: Sigh... I give up.

Basketball: You know Golf Ball, if you want to be a better leader, yelling at people isn't the way to go.

Golf Ball: Then what AM I supposed to do, genius?

Basketball: You have to build them up and encourage them.

Golf Ball: But then they grow entitled!

Basketball: Not if you do it right.

Blocky: Good wisdom BB.

*Team Ice Cube POV- Donut*

Donut: Why did I have to do that yesterday? Did my anger really get the best of me?

*Donut overhears the rest of his team from a tent in the distance*

Barf Bag: We need to stick together, guys. I get that Bottle is alone, and Donut is mad, but we can't hold a grudge on them for that!

Gelatin: Bottle I can understand, but Donut... ugh...

Bomby: Ugh, indeed. But I wish we had someone to check on Bottle.

Barf Bag: I really hope she's okay. Losing Bracelety must have been tough.

*Donut thinks for a second*

Donut: I need to go find Bottle. I need to make things right with her...

*Donut heads over to the elimination area, where Bottle is still sulking*

Bottle: I'm such a failure... I couldn't save any of them...

Donut: Bottle, are you okay?

Bottle: Do I look okay? I lost everyone in my alliance...
