Chapter 4: The Dodgeball challenge
All the campers are currently at the lodge eating breakfast with the exception of Harold and Gwen who aren't present. Chris enters the lodge, looks around a bit before smirking and approaching Duncan who has head down on the table and deep bags under his eyes.
"Duncan!" he yells loudly much to Duncan's annoyance, he picks his head up and glares hard at Chris. "You look like death dude." Chris says in a cheery tone.
"Stick it" Duncan says exhausted before putting his head back on the table.
Courtney looked over to Chris "Harold snored ALL night" she said exasperated.
"Wow" Chris said in between laughs "Four nights with no sleep? How much are you hurting dude?" Chris asks trying to get a reaction from Duncan
Duncan picks his head up and with an angry glare on his face yells "Want to find out!" directly at Chris. Chris's hands come up in a defensive way "No, no, it's cool, its cool."
The other members of Duncan's team all hid slight under the table to avoid his wrath.
The door to the lodge opened as Harold entered seemingly unaware of the penciled on mustache on his face.
The other campers just laughed at him uncontrollably as Harold approached his own team. He sat down at the table with his team as they struggled to control their laughter.
"Okay, what? Harold asks annoyed. Geoff was the first to stop laughing, "Dude someone messed with your face" He said handing him a spoon to see his reflection.
"Nice stache" Harold said while the others gave him a weird look before being interrupted by Chris. "Hey Everyone! It's Gwen!" Chris yells before clapping for Gwen while she trudged into the lodge at a very slow pace.
"Woohoo" The Gophers cheered while she entered and took her place at the table, Lindsay looked over to Justin and Gaara before asking "Why are we clapping?"
Gaara just rolled his eyes and paid her no mined while Justin shrugged.
Gwen sat down next to Gaara before saying "I am so tired, I can't even feel my face" she barely managed out before her head hit the table.
Courtney quietly said to her team. "We are so stinking right now, Eva may have been a psycho, but at least she was an athletic psycho."
"too late to complain now we already voted her off" DJ piped up.
"Heather turned to Beth, and Lindsay before demanding "Let's go over the rules one more time, #1 I am the captain of this alliance, so I get to make the rules." she said while pointing to herself.
So that's what Heather wanted to talk to them about, she's trying to keep two people she knows she can beat on as long as possible before dumping them so she can win Gaara thought before smirking to himself. we will see how well that plays out for you Heather
"#2?" she asked Beth and Lindsay. Lindsay put her hand up quickly "Breaking the rules can result in being kicked out of the alliance?" Lindsay asked. "Good" Heather said
"#3 I can borrow any of your stuff without asking, but my stuff is strictly off limits" Heather said gesturing to herself.
Lindsay and Beth looked at each other before Lindsay said " I don't know about that last rule" unsure of herself.
"That's cool, I can change it" Heather said a little too nicely. "I can also pick someone else to take to the final three with me" she said threateningly.
Lindsay and Beth quickly shook their heads "Good" Heather said "want to have some fun" she asked getting nods in response
Heather stood up from the table.
So she picked the girl with no self esteem and the girl with no brains to take to the final 3? she's smart I'll give her that but there is no way I'm letting that stuck up daddy's girl win instead of someone who worked hard for it Gaara thought before formulating a plan on what to do about Heather.
Heather shouts at the other team "Hey fish heads! way to kick out your strongest player! why don't you just give up now?" she asked condescendingly, She stepped aside as food flung past her and hit Gwen square in the face.
"Missed me!" Heather yelled back. Gaara glared hard at Heather while he helped Gwen wipe herself off.
"Thanks" She said tiredly, Gaara simply nodded also exhausted from the Awakeathon.
Chris entered the lodge clapping his hands together "Listen up campers! your next challenge starts in ten minutes! Be prepared to bring it!" he announced closing his fist in front of his face.
At the dodgeball court
The teams stood at their respective sides of the court as Duncan walked over to the bench and slumped onto it "Wake me up and it'll be the last thing you do!" he yelled threateningly while pointing to his team before putting his head down again.
"This is all your fault you know! you and your snoring face!" she yelled at Harold
Harold held up his finger "It's called a medical condition. Gosh!" he yelled in her face.
Chef blows a whistle to grab their attention.
Chris motions to the balls behind him "Todays challenge is a classic game of dodgeball! The first rule of dodgeball is-" Chris announced before Noah interrupted
"Do not talk about dodge ball?" He asked sarcastically. Owen laughed in response
"As I was saying, if you get hit with the ball" He said as he threw the ball straight at Courtney. "Oof!" she puffed out as the ball hit her square in the gut.
"You're out" Chris continued, "You cant do that!" Courtney yelled while throwing the ball back at him.
Chris catches the ball "If you catch the ball The thrower is out and the catcher can bring in a team mate from the bench" Chris continued.
"Throwing Balls, gee another mentally challenging test" Noah droned on sarcastically.
"I know right" Lindsay said looking at him very sincerely.
Noah and Owen exchanged glances. Chris tosses the ball to Geoff "Geoff try to hit me"
Chris picks up another ball "If someone throw a ball at you, you may deflect the ball with another ball! But if it knocks the ball out of your hands you are out"
Lindsay looked confused "So what do I do if someone throws a ball at me again?" she asked as Geoff threw the ball at Chris
"You dodge!" Chris yelled defecting the ball with his own hitting Lindsay in the face knocking her over.
"Ooooo... You were supposed to dodge!" Chris says
"Ok well that settles the rules, Gophers since you still have 12 members on your team while the Bass only have 9 you will have to sit 2 people out each game"
They looked at each other before all nodding in agreement "Gwen" they all said in unison, She smiled "Thank God" She said while moving to the benches.
"So who else wants to sit out?" Gaara asks " Causing Noah to volunteer "all right I'll volunteer" he said as knowingly.
"Now lets see all you keeners get on out there and dodge" Noah yelled while pointing finger guns at his team.
5 team members stood at each end of the court
"c'mon fishes, if you don't do your best winning three times in a row just won't be as satisfying." She taunted.
Tyler looked mad "Oh you're going down! we are gonna bring the dinner to the table! and then we're gonna eat it!" he said doing finger guns at the other team.
His team rolled their eyes and face palmed out of his stupidity.
Cody threw a ball at Tyler which he dodged then threw back at him. But he missed so horribly he smacked Sadie right in the face while she was on the bench.
"That'll smear the makeup" Chris said smirking.
"Nice job" Courtney said handing him another ball "Now lets see if you can hit someone on their team!" She yelled throwing her hands up into the air.
"Time to unleash my awesome skills" Harold said, Leshawna walked up opposite him. "Well bring it string bean! Lets see what you Got!" she taunted.
Harold balanced the ball on his knee while standing almost like a crane before grabbing his ball and slamming it into the ground, causing it to bounce 3 times before rolling to Leshawna. She picked up the ball and smirked at him.
Harold ran while screaming like a girl, Literally; before getting hit in the back and hitting the back wall face first.
"That's how we roll" Leshawna yelled
Gwen got called onto the court when Lindsay got hit out by Courtney.
She walked towards the court as Owen Through a ball at DJ who dodged then threw one back.
Owen ducked causing the ball to hit Gwen when she walked behind him.
"oh my bad, sorry" DJ said
"Oh its cool, trust me" Gwen said as Gaara and Owen helped her up.
The Screaming Gophers won the first round thanks to Cody.
"Noah you're up" Gaara said pointing to the court.
"you guys did such a good job last time I don't want to mess up your mojo" Noah said with a smirk on his face.
Gaara glared hard at Noah and opened his mouth to say something before Heather spoke up first. "Fine, Izzy your up"
Tyler had 4 balls in his hand's and threw them all over the place, one ball hit Chef in the chest, another glazed over Chris while he ducked. "Hey! Watch the face dude!" He yelled while pointing to his face.
The third ball flew towards the Gophers bench causing all of them to dive away from the bench, the fourth ball hit Lindsay in the face.
"Noooooo" Tyler yelled before running over to her, "Finally!" Courtney said glad to actually get someone on the other team out.
"Tyler?" Lindsay asked when her vision stopped blurring, "Oh my gosh my face how does it look?" Lindsay asked worriedly. "It's really not that bad" Tyler said wincing.
"Really?" Lindsay asked "Ya you still look great" Tyler said.
Trent walked over to Tyler ball in hand and tagged him out. Causing Courtney to face palm.
"Hey you wanna go for a walk?" Tyler asked
Have to say no, Have to say no, Have to say no
"Okay!" Lindsay agreed
"Hey!" Heather yelled "you are getting really close to being out of the alliance!" She screamed
"Game On!" Owen screamed while throwing balls and knocking out all the other team players.
"I'm glad someone is trying today" Heather said glaring at Noah.
"oh sorry" he said looking up he smiled raised his fist in the air and half yelled "Woohoo! way to throw those murder balls" he said rolling his eyes and looking back to his book "go team go" he said unenthusiastically.
"Nice team spirit" Heather added
He is definitely going to be the first one off our team Gaara thought as he sat down back onto the benches.
"Hey! Its 2/0 how does it feel to suck so much?" Heather yelled at the other team. who all glared at her
"not very good" Harold admitted, "Its not over yet!" Courtney said in a sing song voice before admitting "it's so over" she said face palming.
"hey you wanna go somewhere quiet?" Gwen asked Gaara
Gaara smirked and nodded.
"Hey where are you going!" Heather demanded
"Away from here" they said in unison as they walked out of the court.
"ugh I really need to get some sleep" Gwen tiredly droned. before noticing Gaara stop in front of her and crouch down.
"What are you doing?" she asked unsure. "Get on before I change my mind" Gaara said without looking back at her, trying to hide the blush on his cheeks.
Gwen blushed and smiled before getting on his back and letting him carry her.
she slowly drifted off to sleep with the swaying of his body as he walked. when she awoke they were sitting at the edge of the docks he placed her head on his lap letting her sleep.
unaware of her being awake, as he looked out along the water. Gwen looked up at him and smiled. for someone who's even more expressionless than Eva he really is a nice guy; Him being hot is just icing on the cake Gwen mused.
"hey you're awake" Gaara said with a small smile on his face.
"have been for a few minutes now" She responded.
They stared into each others eyes for a long time before Gaara tore his eyes away not wanting her to think he was staring.
Gwen frowned slightly thought maybe he actually like me there for a second, why would he though he only came out here because I asked him to
"Think we should head back?" She asked, Gaara looked back at her before nodding.
Back at the court
"How are we doing?" Gaara asked as Leshawna got hit with 4 dodge balls in unison.
"That bad huh?" Gwen asked before sitting down on the benches.
"We wouldn't be if Noah actually helped out a little!" Heather yelled glaring at him
"Sports aren't exactly my forte remember?" Noah said disinterested.
The whistle blew for the final round.
Gwen, Gaara, Cody, Heather, and Owen walked onto the court
Bridgette and Cody both got out and tagged in another player
this continued for some time
"Knock em out, Throw em out, rah rah" Noah chanted unenthusiastically. before a ball thrown by Gaara hit him square in the face, "Your right, sports aren't your forte" Heather taunted.
it was down to Duncan, DJ, Geoff, Courtney, and Harold for the Killer Bass
and Gwen, Leshawna, Gaara, and Owen For the Screaming Gophers.
Gwen hit Courtney out. "That's for the oatmeal!" she said with her fist up.
Leshawna laughed loudly "You messed with the wrong white girl!" she said pointing at Courtney
Leshawna, Geoff, and Duncan were knocked out of the game. leaving only Harold and DJ for the Killer bass and Gwen, Owen, and Gaara for the Screaming Gophers
Gaara stepped in front of a ball flying at Gwen and deflected one but not another thrown by DJ.
Gwen and DJ both got out in unison for the others throw.
Harold and Owen were the only ones left on the court.
no matter how many balls Owen threw at Harold he just kept dodging them, he finally caught one of the balls thrown at him getting Owen out and winning the game for the Killer Bass.
"The Killer Bass win!" Chris yelled over the bullhorn
"Gophers! What happened?" Chris asked walking over to the team completely shocked.
"What can I say? weak effort" Noah piped up.
"Oh shut it Noah!" Gwen yelled before storming off.
Gaara shook his while walking out behind Gwen
"Y'know for once, I agree with her" Heather said before leaving with the res of the team.

"What are you kidding me!?" Noah yelled surprised
Gaara smirked as he walked past him and grabbed the marshmallow
"Fine see if I care you just voted off the only one with any brains on this team!" Noah yelled at them before being pelted by Marshmallows from the others
"You need to learn a little thing called respect! Turkey!" Leshawna yelled while rubbing her hands together dismissively
"Worried you were gonna get voted off?" Gwen asked
"No, I knew there was no way I was getting voted off with the way Noah was acting, Chris just likes to make it suspenseful" Gaara responded
"wow... I think that is the most I have ever heard you talk before" Gwen said surprised
Gaara shrugged in response "There is the functional mute I know" Gwen said with a smirk on her face.
