"My wish. It came true," Twilight whispered, as she held onto a fragile hand, "I didn't know you would come to me like this though. I'm so sorry," she whimpered out. The tiny girl hadn't left the so-called elf's side, since Brandon carried him to the infirmary. Lindsay had decided to postpone the challenge until he woke up, not wanting to anger Santa. Vishal had come in once or twice to visit her, trying to calm her down.
"It's not your fault Twilight, really. He probably just got lost, or something," he stated, but she ignored him. Part of her knew that he wasn't a believer.
(Conf): Vishal sat on the robotic Santa's lap, "isn't this a special confession booth," his voice wasn't lacking a hint of sarcasm. "I know what it's like to be disappointed, I just didn't want her to get hurt when the dude turns out to be some meth-freak."
(Conf): Kaleb walks in, poking the robotic Santa. "These lame-o's here don't know what's coming. But I'll show them, I always do," he grins, as he pulls down a pair of black sunglasses over his eyes. "CUT! I need a re-take, that didn't do any justice for my teeth."
The scene quickly flashes to team Jack-Frost sitting on makeshift snow furniture. Andre and Mitchel were talking about a new performance they could perform later, "we could do a tribute to Lindsay," Andre winked, putting on a sly grin. This garnered a whistle from Emmett who was lifting snow-weights, that Rosalie had made for him earlier.
"Aca-scuse me?," Dania asked, her jaw dropping to the white ground, "you did not just encourage his behavior, did you?" The muscular boy shook his head quickly, as Dania sighed and gave a bright smile.
Jade laughed, "Dania's right, girls aren't your personal play-toys, we have feelings too."
"Woah, woah! I don't think Andre meant it that way, now did you?," Mitchel asked, looking at his friend.
The shaggy-haired teen quickly shook his head, "no, no! I didn't mean that. I just always dreamt of meeting Lindsay when I was younger you know, she was kind of what I had always hoped to find in a girl."
Dania quickly gave a soft 'awww', the sound was quickly harmonized with Jade's 'cooing'. Mitchel was quick to get back on his feet, letting the beat lead his feet into a flurry of steps. Emmett soon joined in on the music, smashing his hand into the snow, creating an array of 'puff' sounds. Finally, Andre began to sing, "cause, yeah. I'm on a cool team, yo! They can make the rhythm and I can find the melody. And we'll walk on by, as they call our names."
The scene swapped over to strikethe all-girl team/strike, err, team Mrs. Claus. The group, minus Twilight were busy arguing over who's turn it was to shut Kaleb up. "I did it the last time!," Hannah groaned, looking over at Kaleb, who was busy talking to a snow-sculpture Rosalie had created,
"Yeah, but listen-here lover girl, you missed all the other times, when you ran away, too embarrassed after kissing the one-direction wanna-be! You owe us," Ivy pointed out, pointing to boy in-question, who was sitting with the rest of his team.
The brunette blushed, she quickly pulled her long hair in front of her cheeks to hide the fact however, "I don't know what you're talking about," she stated before walking back to Kaleb and the buff snow-sculpture. "Hey," she blurted out.
"You know, you don't have to be so harsh," Rosalie stated, as she continued to sculpt the snow into her next creation.
Ivy huffed, "it's a dog-eat-dog world, and unless you would rather have me there, shoving the star in the making, into the snow face-first, I did us all a favor," her tone was thorny, much like her name would suggest.
The camera then pans over to the british boy mentioned earlier. He and his team were having a miniature snowball fight amongst themselves, boys against girls, whilst Vishal was still with Twilight. "I think we have them cornered captain!," Lexi cheered, turning to Zaina. A gloved hand over the blondes' mouth.
The gloved hand belonged to Saber, the fantasy lover, "what was that?," he questioned a grin crawling across his face. Lexi's eyes went wide as she tried to ready a snowball to defend herself with. Saber only pointed behind the bubbly pig-tailed girl.
"Miss me?," Britt winked, a snowball armed in each of his hands.
"Not as much as I missed her!," Lexi jumped up in joy.
Lindsay appeared behind Britt, a bucket of snow in her hand, "I think us girls win this one," she announced as she flipped the bucket over the brits' head. In a manner of seconds, Zaina had bitten Saber's hand and was sitting on his back.
"Beg for mercy!," she grinned, slowly pinning back his arm.
"Mercy, mercy!," the two boys called out, as the ladies erupted in cheer and laughter.
Brandon, the latest addition in the ever-lasting list of interns appeared, "it seems the boy has woken up. He is walking around and seems well."
Lindsay quickly jumped to attention, ready to resume her hosting duties, "well then! Get ready everybody, and meet me at the top of the cliff, ASAYC!" The four teens look confused, but Brandon simply told them to tell the others to come.
The screen changed to the top of the cliff, where an over-excited Lindsay was standing, beside her Brandon stood, and in front of her the contestants. "Welcome everybody! I'm sorry that things didn't exactly go as we had planned! So to make up for it, in your cabins there will be pepper-bread men! But you can see those later tonight! For now, we need to have our first challenge! In your two teams you will need to jump off of the edge of this cliff and land in the circle down there!," She pointed to the large painted circle on the ice at the bottom.
The teens looked visibly stunned, "ummm, you said two teams? I thought there were three teams," Zaina asked, though the other contestants seemed to have a different question on their mind, they were now curious about this too.
"Oh yes. Well you see, it turns out, that our elf is 16 just like you guys! So I decided it would be a fun idea to have him as a contestant, just like all of you! So, there are now two teams! Team Olympic, consisting of; Andre, Dania, Emmett, Frosty the elf- not snowman!, Ivy, Jade and Rosalie!" The teens quickly arranged themselves to match their new teams.
"If it wasn't clear, the second team, or team Misfitz consists of; Britt, Hannah, Kaleb, Lexi, Saber, Vishal and Zaina!," Brandon announced, as the members of the team quickly began to groan about their name,
"Excuse me! I think you all forgot about something! The fact that crazy-head host here is going to kill us all! And if I die, I will never-ever make it in show-biz!," Kaleb burst out, as his team continued to pout. This caused everyone to stop and stare in disbelief at Lindsay.
The host only shrugged, "I did it. I know it looks scary, but you'll live, but I suggest the guys protect the uh- merchandise," Lindsay tried to say, but Brandon's hand found her mouth before she could finish the last word.
"Ok. First! You can't say things like that to the guys, it's sexual harassment! And second, we agreed to change the challenge, to avoid death. Lindsay when you did the challenge the ice was water. Watch what happens now," Brandon shook his head as he tossed a pumpkin over the edge. It shattered into pieces when it reached the frosted surface.
"Oops. Slipped my mind! Honest!," Lindsay shouted in her defence.
"Oh trust me, that's not the only thing that slips your mind," Ivy snickered, Jade quickly joining in. Dania groaned at the rudeness of her team mate.
The so-called elf spoke up next, "do I get a say in any of this, I mean you kind of just decided I would join in on all of this."
"I know! But isn't it great," Twilight burst out grinning as she tackle-hugged Frosty.
Frosty frowned then remembered all of the time, love and attention the girl had given him the past few hours, "never mind."
"Now, if nobody else would like to complain, your challenge is to get to the bottom of this cliff, and to cross the finish line at the very bottom. The first team to have their entire team across the finish line will win, and not have to send anybody home tonight!," Brandon announced.
"You can use any of the items you find up here to help you get down there," Lindsay added on, before adding one last word, "go!"
Team Olympic was quick to start, Ivy taking lead of her team, "just grab what you can and we will slide down!"
"Wiser words were never spoken!," Kaleb laughed, as his entire team quickly ran-sacked the items and began to slide down, leaving the Olympians.
Dania blinked, "does anybody want to explain what just happened?"
"I think we just got robbed," Mitchel groaned, as he moved into a handstand, "any other ideas?"
Ivy plonked herself into the snow, Jade following suit, "don't bother, we already lost. Right Ivy?," Jade stated, Ivy nodding in response.
"Come on guys you can't just give up! I mean, I bet Hannah wouldn't give up! She carried me all the way back her, and Twilight never lost hope in me either," Frosty said, hoping for a miracle.
"You're the elf, don't you have Santa on speed-dial or something?," Ivy remarked, rolling her eyes.
Frosty shook his head, "We're already in the 12 days before Christmas, he would be much too busy! I mean I should be there right now, but I got lost."
"We have an elf- an elf. Yo we got an elf... Nah, I'm just not feeling it," Andre frowned, walking off in search of inspiration.
Emmett watched Rosalie as she quickly shoved her hands into the snow and began to mould it, "don't count us out just yet! I think this little one just found us an out!" The team turned and watched as Rosalie started to pound snow on top of a pair of ski's. The idea of what was going on was quickly realized, as Ivy commanded the team to help her out.
The scene flashed to the other team, whose' luck was finally vanishing, as their mismatched sleds came to a stop halfway down the cliff. Hannah, who was riding down with Saber fell into Brits' arms as their sled hit a rock, "Fancy meeting you here," the brit beamed, causing Hannah to flush.
"This won't do! We're going to be stranded here, and the polar bears will eat us! And my career will be ruined!," Kaleb shouted as he kicked his scrap metal to the ground.
Zaina and Lexi exchanged glances, "your turn Vishal!," Zaina laughed, as Lexi nodded.
Vishal shrugged, "don't worry Kaleb. We aren't going to die. Just have some faith man, I'm sure Prince Saber will come up with some way to get us to the finish line."
"Yeah! Prince Saber, you'll help us right?," Lexi asked, giving her best puppy-dog eyes that she could pull off.
Twilight began to cheer with the others. Even though her mind was off somewhere else, wondering if Frosty was ok. Remembering that her wish had come true, and the person who helped her make the wish was Prince Saber after all, "come on Princey, I believe in you!"
Hannah who had made her distance from Britt, put her arm around the stunned teen. "Come on, you got this."
Saber was still astonished. Why had Vishal chosen him to lead the team? His head was filled with questions, he looked at Britt for help but he only winked. Looking to his side he saw Hannah, and got an idea. "Make a chain everybody. Things are going to go our way again," Saber decided looking up the hill, seeing a blur speed down, heading in their direction.
The camera zooms in on the blur, as we see Team Olympic, in their sled made of snow speed down the hill. "I can't believe this is working!," Rosalie yelled over the sound of the snow flying by.
"Me neither!," Ivy stated. In truth, she was still mad at Kaleb for snatching her idea from under her.
"But you never believe in anything but yourself, little miss grumpy! So that isn't much of a surprise!," Dania laughed, as Ivy who sat directly in front of her glared daggers in her direction.
"Yo' guys! Less cat-fighting and look! We're about to pass the other team!," Mitchel shouted over the others. The team broke out in cheer as they passed the loser misfitz. Dania quickly hugged Ivy, in celebration.
The sled seemed to slow down ever-so slightly, "hey guys! I think we have some... Uh, stowaways!," Emmett laughed, as Saber held onto the edge of their snow-sled, his team like a chain of bucket-monkeys holding onto one another. Their faces were flapping about in the air, due to the speed of the sled.
"Well cut them loose!," Ivy hissed. Dania broke their embrace, as she pushed the red-hed.
"Take that back! They could get hurt!," Dania broke out. The argument likely would have lasted a rather long time, but Jade took things into her own hands to protect Ivy, as she shoved Dania off the sled. Though the blonde didn't leave alone, she pulled Ivy out with her.
The duo crashed into the sled. As both teams began to howler in fear, the sled disintegrated. The impact creating a storm of snow. The wind from its speed quickly remade the flakes into a large snowball, filled with the contestants.
As it stormed down the hill, Lindsay and Brandon rushed to get out of its path at the bottom of the cliff. "That was unexpected!" Lindsay nodded as they watched the ball collide with the finish line from the safety of one of the cabins.
When the white-mess settled onto the ground, the two made their way out. The teens were scattered across the ground. Twilight though, laid on top of Frosty, hugging him as if to protect him. "We really do miss lots. I told you, we should have been with them!," Lindsay pouted, sad she missed out on something she could have gossiped about later that night with Beth.
"W-who won?," Ivy stuttered out, as she pulled herself out of the snow.
"We ," Kaleb laughed, as he leant against one of the poles of the finish line.
"If it weren't for my hatred for someone else, I would so tear his head off," Ivy muttered to Jade, who she was helping pull out of the snow.
Brandon and Lindsay quickly talked to one another about what to do. They easily came to a conclusion though, "while I might be terrible at math, it seems like your team is one member less than what you had started with," Lindsay observed, pointing at Ivy.
"Oh, Dania? I'm sure she got eaten by a polar bear or something," the accused said coldly.
"Yes. A bear ate me, and later pooped me out and brought me back to the finish line," Dania huffed, "I think she meant Andre."
"Speak of the devil," Frosty laughed, pointing to Andre as he strolled down the hill towards the mess.
"'Ey guys, I think I figured out to finish that song!"
Vishal began to chuckle to himself as the other team glared at the new arrival.
"Don't tell me you don't want to hear it! I spent a lot of time on it," Andre frowned, looking at his guitar.
Mitchel feeling bad for his friend, walked over to him, "man, this doesn't look too good for ya'. While you were writing the song we were here, trying to win the challenge. And 'cause you weren't here, we lost. We lost man, it's all your fault." On the last word, the rest of his team just walked away.
(Conf): "So I'm still kind of confused as to what just happened man, but do you want to hear my song?," Andre grinned, as he stared at the Santa, and starts to play his new song.
(Conf): Ivy sat down, "who do I send home? The wannabe leader, the idiot blond, or the idiot wannabe musician?"
(Conf): Frosty hugged the Santa, "you have no idea what's going on big man, what took you so long?"
The scene cuts to the mess-hall, newly decked-out with bright Christmas lights and decor. "Looks like the budget got upped," Lexi grinned, as she sat down, putting a fork into her salad.
"I know right? Do you think Santa brought this early for all of us?," Twilight asked, her eyes going wide.
"I bet he did! I mean, he must know we found his elf," Vishal stated, trying not to laugh at the fact.
Kaleb joined the trio as he sat down, "So wasn't that a rush!?"
(Conf): "After the challenge, Vishal pulled me aside and told me if I want to be seen as a good actor I should try and act like the other contestants. I told him that that was kind of lame, but he said the scouts would love it."
Zaina was too busy scouting the room for plant-life to be bothered with eating anything. "Come on little guys, I know you're in here somewhere."
Meanwhile Britt, Hannah and Saber sat down discussing The Hobbit. The discussion was mainly between Hannah and Saber, but every now and then they would ask Britt something and he would grin and say some remark.
"What's the plan for tonight?," Emmett asked as he joined Rosalie and Dania at one of the tables. Dania gave a wink to Rosalie, who rolled her eyes.
"As much as I hate to say it. I think we need to vote with Ivy," Dania paused expecting the roof above their heads to cave in or something, "if not, I might just get sent packing, and I really want to at least do one good thing before I leave!"
The other two nodded in agreement, "then it's agreed," Rosalie said, as they all shook on it and Rosalie left the table to talk to some of the others.
"What's her deal?"
"She's not too happy that you called her little," Dania laughed, tossing a grape into Emmett's mouth, "you should close that mouth of yours before a fly wanders in."
Andre, Frosty and Mitchel were putting on a performance, using the lyrics that Andre had come up with from before. Mitchel began to break dance, with Andre singing his song. Frosty grinned as he made random faces to go along with the lyrics. He had a fan in the audience cheering him on, in the form of Twilight. Sadly, the same couldn't be said about Andre, who was getting pelted with buns from the corner table, where Ivy sat with Jade.
The scene changes to the elimination ceremony, where the torches were carefully placed to not melt the snow, or the ice cubes that the teens were sitting on. "You have no idea how long I have wanted to do this for, and it's finally going to happen!," Lindsay cheered to herself, "ok, ok! If I call your name, and pass you a steaming-hot s'more, you are safe, and will get to continue to compete. If I don't, that means you are OUT, and will never-ever like ever, get to come back, and you will need to take a walk down the slippery path of lame, and then take a ride on Skipper!," Lindsay stated pointing to a penguin with a saddle on his back, he gave a wave before plopping down onto his stomach.
"Let's begin; Rosalie! Emmett! Frosty!." you are all safe, the three caught their s'mores, Emmett catching his in his mouth. "Jade and Mitchel!," Lindsay tossed two more, allowing the two to breath. "Dania, Andre and Ivy. One of you is going home tonight, it's not Dania though." Lindsay tossed another s'more. Andre and Ivy looked at one another, Ivy giving him the cut-throat hand gesture, while Andre just blinked. "Ivy!," Lindsay shouted.
"Yes!," Ivy grinned as she got the s'more.
"Sorry Andre but, you are the weakest link," Lindsay verified. This caused Brandon to face palm, he would need to remind Lindsay about the proper jargon for the show.
Andre got up before his eyes went wide, "I got it! I figured it out!," he shouted as he slid down the path as if he was a skater, and jumped onto Skipper.
"And that's it folks! I finally got to be just like Chris, and it felt amazing! After Brandon refused to let me use the budget for my own personal hair salon, I was bummed, but I guess the place looks amazing now, so it's cool! Oh, oh! And come back next episode, because I have a funny feeling a couple is going to blossom, and I have an amazingly fantastic challenge. Oh my god! Brandon get Beth on the phone! I have so much to tell her!," the host cheered as she skipped away to her own cabin.
AN: WOAH! So there you have the first elimination... I know it was kind of anticlimactic, but erg! It's not the easiest thing to do! It would be great if y'all could hit the review button and send in your predictions and thoughts! The next chapter has a (lame) challenge, but it will definately show where I'm going with the characters!
