Thanks for all the reviews! And by the way, I do not know if I can add more
OCs yet. If I do, they will probably not be on the good side. Just a heads up. Well, here's the next chapter. Enjoy!:
Chapter 4: Day 1
Interview
Dipper: Is this mic on?
Camera Man: Yeah, it's fine. Now state your name, age, hometown, and current school.
Dipper: Well, my name is Dipper Pines. I'm twelve years old from Piedmont, California, but when I was accepted into the show, I was in Gravity Falls, Oregon with my great uncle and twin sister. I go to Piedmont Middle School.
Camera Man (CM): Okay. Now tell me- er- the viewers about what you did on the trail to Home Base.
Dipper: Well, Mabel and I ran at top speed as soon as Patrick said, 'go'. We were just able to keep up with Peter and Robin, both of whom are really fast. There was really little conversation between the four of us. Luckily, Peter and Robin chose the right path all three times, so we were the first to arrive at the cabins.
Story
Upon arriving at Home Base, Dipper and Mabel could see a couple of two story cabins about ten feet apart (the cabins were ten yards in front of them). To the right, there was what seemed to be an outhouse. To the left, a wooden chest the size of a bed was lying in the sandy grass.
I'm actually not too sure that's a chest, thought Dipper. Is that a coffin?
He put that thought aside and saw a pile of sticks surrounded by sitting logs in front of the cabins.
"Does anyone know how to make a campfire?" asked Dipper. "I hear it gets really cold at night in the Sahara."
Peter looked down at him. "I think that we can figure that out," he said. Peter turned to the teenager with his black hair in a ponytail. "Robin, go into one of the cabins and see count the amount of beds. Be sure to claim one for the both of us. I don't wanna sleep on the floor."
"Got it," said Robin. "And I might as well see what clues, hints, or tools I can find." He ran to the cabin on the right.
"So can the cabin Robin goes to be the boys' cabin and the other for the girls?" asked Mabel.
"Sure, why not," replied Peter.
"I call dibs on whatever's in there!" blurted out Mabel. She bolted towards the cabin on the left.
As soon as Mabel was out of earshot, Peter turned to Dipper and asked, "So is that your sister, your girlfriend—"
"My twin sister," Dipper answered, shuddering. "Is Robin your brother?"
Peter shook his head. "Robin and I have known each other since our earlier years," he said. "But even though we're not biologically related, we see each other as brothers."
Dipper nodded. "Interesting. But why did you need to know Mabel's relationship to me?"
"I'm just trying to see what I have to deal with," answered Peter.
"Deal with?" repeated Dipper.
"Hey! There are three bunk beds on the first floor, two on the second floor," hollered Robin from an open window on ground level. "Are ya comin'?
"Hold on!" Peter yelled back.
"Wow, there are enough beds for all the male contestants to get one," observed Dipper.
"I figured," said Peter. "Anyway, back to what I was saying earlier, I need to make sure that something's clear, kid. You might be thinking that just because you arrived here with me and Robin, that we'll help you out. That's not the case. A million dollars is a million dollars."
"Don't call me kid," snapped Dipper. "But I already knew that stuff. My great uncle told me to trust no one."
"Remember that if you want to win, or even stay alive" said Peter. "He began to walk back towards the boys' cabin, but stopped after a few feet and looked back at Dipper. "One more thing: just because we're all rivals trying to get a million dollars, doesn't mean that when there's a common threat, that we shouldn't join forces. Dying is worse than going home empty handed."
Interview
CM: Name, age, hometown, and current school.
Alicia: My name is Alicia Mord; I'm twelve years old from Lakeland, Florida. I go to Lake Highlands Middle.
CM: Tell America what you did on the trail.
Alicia: Ugh, that'll be the last time I follow Robbie for anything. Carl, Raven, Elton, and I were jogging at a leisurely pace. But the twins, Robin, and Peter were too far ahead. The only person in front of me that I could see what none other than Robbie. He was running with his buddies, Lee and Nate. The bad thing was that twice… they chose the wrong paths. And since Carl, Raven, Elton, and I were following them, we had gone down the wrong path too. I was discouraged when I arrived at Home Base, to see that Sekhmet, Wendy, Candy, the twins, Robin and Peter were already there. But I realized that even thought I wouldn't be getting any of the clues, if I can win this thing without help like that, then I'm just that awesome.
Story
Dipper was looking out one of the closed windows in the boys' cabin on the first floor and watched Pacifica and Gideon stroll into the Home Base area, bringing the tally up to eighteen, meaning that all the contestants had arrived.
He could also see Patrick and all of the camera men and women off to the side, talking.
Dipper walked to his bunk, which was on the left side of the door and plopped onto the bottom bed.
On the first floor of the cabin, there was a window on either side of the door. A bunk bed was in each front corner, and another was in the back right corner. In the back left corner, there were stairs leading up to the second floor.
Robbie walked over to Dipper's bunk, put his hand on the top bed, and leaned on it.
"Listen up, short stop," snapped Robbie. "I just wanna make something clear. Just because there are no rules, doesn't mean that you should try any funny business with Wendy."
"Like what?" challenged Dipper, standing up on his bed.
"Oh, you know, sex," said Robbie bluntly.
Dipper was taken aback by that remark. "I can't believe that you think I'd be that shallow and do something like that! Especially with cameras everywhere."
Robbie looked around, as if noticing them for the first time. There was one small camera hanging from the foot of every top bunk, one in each corner, another above the door, and a larger camera in the center of the room (this one had the ABC logo).
"Besides," continued Dipper. "You're the one that I should be warning! Wendy broke up with you, but I can tell that you still have some feelings for her."
Robbie grabbed Dipper's shirt. "I dare you to say that again!"
At that moment, Gideon walked into the cabin. "Boys, calm down now. There's no need to fight."
Robbie dropped Dipper, whirled around, and shoved Lil' Gideon to the floor. "You know, you have a lot of nerve to be going around calling me a boy, you psycho."
Gideon jumped up, ready to fight. "Is that all ya got? Gimme your best shot!" He jumped towards Robbie, but Elton Jr. tackled him to the ground.
"Chill, dude," snapped Elton. "We can't be fighting people like this on the first day."
"No, let's see what this nitwit can do," yelled Robbie. He advanced towards Elton Jr. and Gideon, but Robin and Carl each grabbed one of Robbie's arms.
"Hey, knock it off," snapped Robin. "Why can't we be peaceful and get along like the girls probably are!"
"Take that back, you dirty little witch," screamed Mabel.
"Funny, that's rhymes with one of the words I just called you," chuckled Pacifica. "Girls, take her and Candy upstairs. I don't want to sleep in the same room with those losers."
"Uh, we're not your slaves," said Sekhmet.
"Yeah," realized Mabel. "Your back up girls aren't here to protect you. Which means it's the perfect time for revenge."
So, there's Chapter four. What do you think? Please leave a review and let me know.
