(A/N: Hey guys, sorry I forgot to update last weekend- I suffered a terrible loss, you see. And by that, I mean the twelve hours of my life I spent working on my French project. If French 1 isn't going to be the death of me, then I guess I'm the Highlander or something.)
"Last time on Camp TV:
I, Chris McLean, kicked the game into high gear when I forced the campers to face their personal fears! Some were afraid of more logical things, like spiders or snakes, while Tyler was afraid of Chickens. Wuss. Some people prevailed, some people just couldn't take it. In the end, it was Eva who was sent packing. Who'll go home tonight? What challenge do I have planned for the campers? Find out on:
CAMP!
T!

Justin and Duncan were lying down in the infirmary, when Trent and Bridgette entered.
"Hey Justin," Trent greeted, "how you feeling, bro?"
"Fine, I guess," Justin muttered, "the medical intern said I should be able to compete today."
"Good to hear," Bridgette smiled.
"Isn't anyone here to visit me?" Duncan asked.
"Uh, nope," Trent told him.
"Not even Katie?" Duncan demanded, starting to look just a bit annoyed.
"Does it look like she's here?" Trent snapped.
"I'll kill her," Duncan grumbled.
"Well, anyway, we'll see you back at camp, Justin," Bridgette smiled.
"Later," Justin shrugged.
Justin and Duncan watched the two leave.
"Seriously," Duncan said in disbelief, "NO ONE came to visit me?"
Justin didn't respond.
"HEY!" Duncan shouted, "Are you even listening?"
"Wha?" Justin stammered, "Oh, sorry. Just got caught up in looking at my reflection in the mirror over there."
By the time Justin and Duncan arrived back at camp, Chris was already briefing the campers on the challenge.
"About time you decided to join us," Chris whined, "you're holding up the show!"
"Like we had a choice!" Duncan snapped, "I got hit by a roller coaster car!"
At this, Cody burst out laughing.
"Something funny?" Duncan growled.
"Yeah," Cody snickered.
"As I was saying," Chris continued, "today's challenge is an overnight campout in the woods. I have a map for each team. You need to find the designated point on your map, and set up camp there. You'll stay there over night- and I'll be able to tell if you don't- and try to make back here first tomorrow morning. First team to arrive back here wins immunity. Any questions?"
"Yeah," Cody stammered, "will there be any bears there? You know, in the woods?"
"Of course," Chris said, looking offended, "what kind of host do you think I am? Will there be bears in the woods- what a stupid question! But don't worry- they mostly come out at night. Mostly. So, who wants the maps?"
No one made a move forward- perhaps everyone had their mind on the bears.
"Thank you Tyler and LeShawna for volunteering," Chris said, handing the two their maps.
"I didn't-" LeShawna protested.
"I don't want it!" Geoff said, handing the map to Gwen.
Gwen quickly gave the map to Tyler, handling it as if it were some type of poison.
"It's just a map," Chris told them, "relax. Now, you guys better get going if you want to set up camp by sundown- your tents and sleeping bags are already at your team sites waiting for you."
The campers set off into the woods, everyone alert.
"So, LeShawna, which way does the map say to go?" Bridgette asked.
"Let's see, we have to go a mile north, then we go west from there," LeShawna responded.
"Hey guys," Justin said, "did you hear something?"
"Like what?" Trent asked.
"I don't know, it sounded like-"
CRACK!
"Like that," Justin said, "it sounded exactly like that!"
The noise had come from behind Cody, who didn't bother turning around.
"Uh, Cody?" Trent began.
"Please tell me that's not a bear," Cody groaned.
Trent nodded his head slowly.
"Just, um, walk forward verrrry slowly," Justin told Cody.
Cody looked at his team, gulped, and took a step forward.
INFIRMARY CONFESSIONAL: Cody
"And now I'm out for the rest of the challenge. Thanks, Chris. Thanks a lot."

CONFESSIONAL: Chris
"You're welcome."

Meanwhile, the Tiki's were having a bit of a hard time finding their camp, because no one on their team could figure out how to read the map.
"Beth, seriously," Tyler said, "give it up. You can't understand it anymore than the rest of us."
"But I can!" Beth protested, "I'm just- having a hard time… figuring out the legend, is all."
"This blows," Geoff sighed, "signing up for this show was probably a huge mistake."
"What was your first clue, genius?" Duncan taunted.
"Um," Geoff thought, "probably when I found out we weren't really staying in a mansion."
"I didn't mean it literally," Duncan groaned, "I was making fun of you."
"Oh," Geoff said, "I get- HEY! Not cool!"
Duncan rolled his eyes, then began to walk away from everyone else.
"See you guys later," he called.
"Where are you going?" Katie demanded.
"That way," Duncan responded, "I'm going to go find camp instead of watching you guys failing to read a stupid map."
"I'm coming with you," Katie told him.
"Uh, no," he told her, "you're not."
With that, the punk set off to try and find camp on his own.
"Okay," Justin sighed, "we lost Cody, so that leaves just the five of us. Are we near camp yet, LeShawna? It's starting to get pretty dark out."
"Getting there," LeShawna replied, "oh, turn left here- map says we should be there in half an hour or so."
"I still don't trust that map," Trent said, "I mean, Chris might've given us the wrong directions on purpose."
"Nah," DJ told him, "doubt he did that. Then neither team would find camp, so there wouldn't be a winner."
"He's right," Justin shrugged, "We'll just have to trust it, for now."
"Let's just hope we don't run into anymore bears," Bridgette sighed.
The team continued following the map, until they at last reached the camp sight.
"Sweet!" Trent cheered, "Finally!"
"I'll start a fire," Justin offered, "you guys set up tents and stuff."
Just as the sun went down, the fire was going and everything was set up.
"Whew," LeShawna smiled, "I almost thought we were going in circles. I wonder how the other team is doing."
"Who cares?" Justin smirked, "Let's just enjoy the thought that we might be winning. Who knows? Maybe they're totally lost!"
As it turns out, Justin was correct. The Tiki's were lost and without hope- it was night already, and they were nowhere near camp.
"Great," Katie groaned, "we're out in the middle of the woods at night. Thanks a lot, Beth."
"What?" Beth asked, "Why me?"
"If you hadn't hogged the map, we might be a little less lost right now!" Katie exclaimed, "And who knows where Duncan is? This challenge couldn't be going worse!"
Duncan, however, had managed to reach to Tiki campsite on his own, and was presently roasting marshmallows over a fire he had set up.
"Guys?" Gwen asked, clearly worried, "What if we get attacked by bears while we're out here?"
"Relax," Geoff told her, "stay by me, I'll make sure nothing happens."
"Thanks, Geoff," Gwen smiled.
"BEAR!" Tyler shouted.
"GAHHH!" Geoff screamed, jumping to his feet.
Tyler looked at Geoff, then busted out into laughter.
"Dude!" Geoff exclaimed, "Not cool!"
"I'm glad Chef packed us some food," DJ smiled, "at least we don't have to starve."
"Yeah," Trent agreed, "this isn't so bad."
"You know," Bridgette said, "I was thinking, maybe I should stay awake tonight. That way when it's morning, I can wake you guys up and we'll get a head start back to camp."
"That's a good idea," LeShawna agreed, "you sure you don't mind?"
"Yeah," Bridgette smiled, "it's cool. You guys can all sleep if you want."
"Hey," Justin smiled, "I'll stay up with you. I'm not feeling all that tired."
"You look pretty beat to me, bro," Trent commented.
Justin shot a glare at Trent, who then realized what was going on and smiled.
"Well, if you feel alright, no point in sleeping," Trent smiled, "but I think the rest of us should get to bed."
"Yeah," LeShawna yawned, "I'm feeling pretty tired. Goodnight, guys."
"Night," DJ said, going into his tent.
Trent walked over to his own tent, flashed Justin a thumbs up, and went inside.
"Guys," Lindsay said, "wake up!"
"What?" Tyler yawned, opening his eyes, "When did we fall asleep?"
Sure enough, however, it was morning.
"I dunno," Lindsay smiled, "but I think we have to head back to camp now, right?"
"Yeah," Tyler told her, "hey guys! Time to wake up!"
Gradually, everyone began to stir.
"C'mon," Tyler told them all, "we gotta go."
"What about Duncan?" Geoff asked.
"Here's a better question- do any of us really care?" Tyler responded.
"Well," Geoff thought, "not really, no."
"Then let's move out!" Tyler cheered.
Morale restored, the Tiki's made their way back to the main camp.
Bridgette opened her eyes, then let out a groan.
"Oh no," she muttered.
"Wuzzhuh?" Justin yawned, "What time is it?"
"We fell asleep!" Bridgette gasped, "C'mon, we have to get the others and hurry back! Oh no, the other team is probably already there!"
"Relax," Trent smiled, emerging from nearby, "we're already up- we were getting ready to go."
"What?" Bridgette asked, "Why didn't you wake us?"
"We thought you looked cute like that," LeShawna chuckled.
Bridgette and Justin looked at one other, and realized they were clinging on to each other.
"Oh!" Justin said, letting go, "Sorry! I uh, move around when I sleep!"
"Right," LeShawna teased, "whatever. We better get going, though, we don't know if the other team made it back yet."
The Islanders finished getting ready, then set off.
"Dude!" Tyler cheered, "We're first!"
It was true- they were the first to make It back to camp.
"Correction," Duncan yawned, walking out from the mess hall, "I'M first."
"How?" Tyler asked, "There's no way-"
"Yeah, I'm just that good," Duncan smirked.
A moment later, the Islanders arrived at the scene.
"Damnit!" Trent groaned, "We lost again!"
"I dunno about that," Chris smirked, suddenly appearing, "I clearly yesterday that your team HAD to stay at the designated camp all night. Tiki's, only Duncan stayed at the camp last night, meaning you failed the challenge."
"So that means we won?" Bridgette smiled.
"Yup," Chris told her, "looks like it."
The five Islanders cheered.
"Tiki's, we're going to do our elimination ceremony early today- be ready in five minutes."
At the elimination ceremony, Chris looked everyone over, smiling to himself.
"Alright guys," the host said, "I tallied the votes, and now I'll hand out marshmallows. First one goes to Duncan. Katie, Geoff, Gwen, and Tyler are also safe, leaving Lindsay and Beth without marshmallows. Only one of you will be leaving today- the other will get a marshmallow. And the lucky person who get's to stay is…

"Lindsay!"
"Yay!" the blonde cheered.
"Sorry guys," Beth sighed, "I guess I lost you the challenge."
"Whatever," Chris said, shoving her out of the camera view, "well kids, that wraps up tonight's show. Tune in next time to find out who goes home on:
CAMP!

(A/N: What do you think? By the way, am I the first person to write about Justin and Bridgette as a pair? I'm pretty sure I am, right? Yay, I'm special! Well, even if I'm not the first, let's all pretend I am. Since I didn't update last week, I'll TRY for a double update later. No promises.)
