Chapter 3- Surf and Turf

Silque and Conrad were talking behind their trailer, when Lukas appeared.

"Silque, you should see what's going on in your girl side. Palla is throwing everything. She's messing up the beds, the furniture, the food. The whole girls side is messed up. Clair is in there trying to calm her down."

"We got her good." Conrad snickered "Now just just need to get her paranoid enough so we can easily send her home."

"I'll go-"

Silque got interrupted by the sound of screaming and shattering.

"What was that?" Silque asked

"That sounded like glass being shattered." Lukas said as he ran

"Should we go with him?" Conrad asked Silque

"You go. I'll be busy playing puppets once the Magicians get back here."

Don't worry about me. I'm not going crazy. I'M NOT GOING CRAZY! - Palla

I've never seen Palla this broken before. She needs to take a deep breath and calm herself down. - Clair

On the one hand, I feel bad for Palla. On the other hand though, her having a complete meltdown is so funny to watch. - Lukas

I'm glad Palla is like how she is. We can easily play the paranoia and destruction cards if we get sent to elimination again. - Conrad

"Hey guys." Silque said while putting on a sad face

"Hi Silque." Sonya acknowledged trying to express being happy

"What's up Silque?" Saber asked

"Nothing I just wanted to say sorry for failing to get rid of Delthea."

"We tried." Sonya admitted

"Yeah, but we didn't have that good of a chance. Not without my vote anyway." Saber laughed "Oh well, look at the bright side, there's almost next time."

"Yeah, I guess. Also Sonya, that's a great pixie cut." Silque admired

"You think so?"

"Yeah. I love how you decided to keep your hair that way. It fits your sassy and feisty personality nice."

"Well, thanks! Ever since the finale last year I decided to why not keep it this way."

"It won you the million after all. Oh and Saber, you're hair's growing back nice also. It looks a lot like Sonya's."

"Before I came to LA, Luthier told me to drop my spikes and keep it like how it is now."

"He's right. I think it suits you."

"Gracias."

"De Nada. I love to chat some more, but I need to get some rest for tomorrow."

It's was so easy to make up a conversation with them. All I did was agree with their view on Delthea, and then throw in a little bit of flattery. If you want my honest opinion, pixie cuts make me want to hurl. Also, Sonya is ugly with her dyed purple hair. How is she not sick of that color after ten years? She should do us all a favor, and go back to her natural black color. - Silque

Despite being on opposite teams, I think Silque is really cool. As she bonus she is also friends with Jesse and Kamui. I might ask her to be a part of All In once the merge comes. - Saber

Is it just me, or was Silque a little bit uneasy during that conversation. Something fishy might be going on. Maybe it's just my actress instincts. - Sonya

"Good morning dudes and dudettes." Alm yelled on the loudspeaker "Please go and meet Celica at the beach studio in half an hour. Make sure to wear your swimming trunks if you brought any. We have some for those who don't."

A beach challenge, huh? I guess that's because the Singers are going to wipeout the competition. - Jesse

On the set there were seven black and white surfboards in a circle above a crystal clear pool. A longer red surfboard was in the middle. Hanging from the ceiling were microphones and hats. The hats were dangling above the black boards. The microphones were dangling above the white ones.

"Hello everyone. Welcome to your beach challenge. Each of you will stand on a surfboard that has your team color, and you will also hold onto to your team symbol hanging above the boards. Once you are all in position, the red surfboard will start moving. If you fall off, you are out. If your legs or feet touch the surfboard, you are benched. If you let go of your hat or microphone, you are done. This challenge will go on a whole team has been eliminated. Does everyone understand the rules of the challenge?"

"YES."

"OK then. Take your positions."

Once everyone was ready and holding on, the red surfboard started moving.

"Good luck everyone. Remember something can happen at any moment."

I don't where that statement is going. Celica is starting to worry me now. - Kamui

Everyone was doing well at the five minute mark. Almost everyone wasn't moving except for when they had to jump. Genny was staying focused, but was out when her left foot touched the red board's side.

If it wasn't for my dang foot, I could have dominated this challenge. - Genny

Sonya and Silque starting talking when Genny hit the water.

"Hey Sonya, Genny's down."

"What?"

"You didn't see her fall?"

"No, I was switching my hands on the hat."

"You know switching your hands doesn't matter."

"Huh?"

Sonya was confused, until the red board hit her leg.

*beep* Sonya cursed

Silque suddenly pushed her into the water.

Why would Silque distract me like that? Also, why would she push me in the water? Does she not like me or something? - Sonya

Every one of Jesse's friends must be eliminated. Sonya is number one on my list to go. I can't have a winner interfere with my plan. - Silque

"I'm sorry you guys are down two members." Jesse whispered to Saber

"It's alright. We can still win this-"

Delthea fall off screaming causing Saber to get interrupted.

"You were saying?" Jesse sassed and smirked

"Shut up." Saber laughed

Saber started to slide, but Jesse caught him.

Thanks for catching me Jesse. I really owe you one - Saber

Of course I'm going to help Saber out. I'm just glad no one on my team saw that. If they did, I would be in some real deep water. - Jesse

"Players, it's been thirty minutes since you started. It's time to kick things up a notch

The red surfboard then started to go the opposite way, and the boards started to lean at an angle.

I don't mind the red board going the other way. However, with the angle we are leaning at we'll have to jump higher than before. - Gray

No one was dropping out after fifteen minutes, so then Celica released a contraption that poured water on the contestants heads. The boards were starting to become slippery. Lukas and Conrad immediately fall into the pool followed by Gray and Clair a minute later.

An hour has passed and there's only seven of us left. I need to stay calm, and watch the redboard carefully. I have to win for my team. - Kamui

"You good Jesse?" Silque yelled

"I'm fine. Why?" he asked

Jesse then watched with wide eyes as he saw Kamui take a plunge. Palla suddenly let go of her microphone as she clenched her arm, and dove in.

"Sorry you guys. My arm seriously hurts." Palla yelled

"It's all good." Jesse yelled back

"We got it from here." Silque reassured

Palla then leaped out of the pool, and smiled as Clair handed her a towel.

I thought my arm was going to go numb. My hand already lost feeling after holding a microphone for ninety minutes. I'm now regretting not switching hands. - Palla

The number of people left are finally shifted in our favor. Come on Matilda, Mycen, and Saber. Let's end this already. Send the Singers to elimination. - Genny

"OK players, it looks like we reached the two hour mark. RAISE THE RED SURFBOARD!" Celica yelled

The five remaining players were starting to get fatigued from jumping. The players legs were feeling sore and weak, but they fought with every inch to stay on. Ten minutes after Alm raised the red surfboard, he angled the players boards again. This was all too much to Saber, so he dropped out. Matilda was noticing that Jesse, Mycen and Silque were steady. She decided to let go of her microphone.

How was I supposed to compete against three people who looked like they were statues? - Matilda

I can't believe it's all up to me now. I can't have the Magicians go vote someone off two times in a row. - Mycen

It's just Jesse and I versus the senior citizen. Just drop already Mycen. You know you're not going to win. - Silque

Mycen was holding on tight, focusing on Jesse and Silque. He didn't realize however, that the red surfboard hit the bottom of his foot.

"After two hours and forty five minutes, Jesse and Silque have won for the Singers."

Jesse and Silque jumped in the water and swam to their team in happiness.

Sucks we can't get Palla out, but we won safety. Palla's really lucky she survived this week. - Conrad

If we can't go with with Plan A, we can at least go with the plan B. - Silque

Delthea was painting her nails when she saw Silque approaching Genny. She whispered in Genny's ear. Genny suddenly stormed off and pulled all the Magicians in the girls side of their cabin. Saber saw Delthea coming, and locked the door right before she could enter.

"OK Saber is she gone?" Genny asked

"No sign of her." he reported

"Nothing coming from the back window either." Sonya also reported

"Good. You two stay there, and keep watch."

"What's this all about?" Gray asked

"I'll tell you what this is all about. Delthea played all of us at Forsyth's elimination the other day."

"What?" everyone asked in shock

"Yeah. Delthea had Lukas, Silque, and Conrad tell you guys to vote off Forsyth. Why Forsyth you ask? Because he was the first one on our team who got tagged by me."

I can't believe I'm hearing this from Genny. Delthea is going to pay. - Gray

If I could vote, I'd vote for Delthea again. I was wondering when she'd try and strike us. - Saber

"Why did she pick them to you? That's a simple explanation. First, she knew you wouldn't believe it if she told you herself. Second, you all have a good history with the person who told you to vote for Delthea."

Now everything is starting to make complete sense. - Matilda

I was weird that Lukas told me to vote Forsyth and not for Delthea. I didn't think anything of it. Boy, was I a fool. - Mycen

"So, we need to rally together and vote for Delthea. This emergency meeting is now adjourned."

Thank You Silque for telling me the truth behind Forsyth's elimination. - Genny

Oh my God. I have never seen Genny take a leadership role like this. She has really came a long way from her quiet shell since last season. I'm so proud of her. - Sonya

As soon as everyone left the trailer, the camera zoom up to reveal a pair of eyes above a vent.

I was able to overhear everything due to the secret passage in our trailer. Thanks Alm and Celica for giving us the vents. And thank you Genny Robinson for making my next target VERY clear to me. - Delthea

"Alright Magicians. Tonight the awards are going to: Saber, Gray, Mycen, Sonya, and Matilda. Genny and Delthea, this is our final award tonight. The person not getting it is…...DELTHEA! I'm not really surprised you're safe Genny. After all, you only got one vote."

Delthea vicously grabbed the award from her. Genny was trying to fight back, but Delthea overpowered her.

"I'm sorry Genny." she laughed while pinning her down "Do you want this award? Well tough titties." Delthea then flashed a wooden "A" in Genny's face. "Cause I HAVE THE IMMUNITY IDOL BITCH!"

Everyone was shocked at this outcome. Delthea was receiving daggers as she handed it to Celica.

If everyone thought that Palla's outburst this morning was insane. JUST WAIT TILL I GET MY HANDS THE WICKED TROLLS BELONGINGS! - Saber

I told her. Don't ever try to *beep* with Delthea Martin. - Delthea

*crying* Why did the idol have to get flashed in my face. I didn't even do anything to her. - Genny

"Maybe you shouldn't have spread false information like that sweetheart." Delthea whispered

Genny widened her eyes, and then ran off crying to the limousine. She didn't even say goodbye to Saber or Sonya. As the limo left the film lot, Delthea headed back to the cabins. No one was saying a word, but instead were looking at each other in sadness and anger. Eventually they all left the awards area, but Sonya stayed behind, still in complete shock.

I don't know what to feel right now. So many emotions are running through my head. Sadness, anger, shock, they are all going off. There is even a little bit of confusion as well. I was right next to Genny, so I was able hear what Delthea said about their being false information. I also saw Genny's eyes light up, like she knew what Delthea meant. As much as I hate her, I need to know what was it that Genny realized. - Sonya
