Confession Cam

Sapphire: I am sooo darn bored it's not even funny. Drawing graffiti on the cabin's side wall with smashed barriers from the forest is starting to get a li'l dull. And it's really hot and dry here. A forest fire could start any minute. (gets an idea) Fire… yeah. Uh, I have to go… do something. Bye.

------------

Lez: For you people at home who were lucky enough not to witness it yourselves, I thought it would be wise to let you all know that we have a bit of a problem. And, no, it has nothing to do with Sapphire's recent obsession with finding Duncan's alleged stash of matches from last season, or Nikki's art binge, or Will's sugar-high, or the fact that Jake claims to be allergic to everything Chef makes, or- You know what, forget it! Let's just say it has nothing to do with any of those things, even though they are most certainly next on the very long list of problems. No, this is much, much, much worse. MUCH WORSE! Okay, yesterday I came back to the cabins as usual. No one else was there so I went in my suitcase to get my game, but it wasn't there!! I know without a doubt that they were there when I left! So that leaves only one explanation: there is a thief at camp Wawanakwa!

Noon; Killer Unicorn cabin (occupants- Nikki, Jake, Danny)

"Nikki-"

"No."

"But I-"

"Not talking!"

"Ugh!"

"Still not talking to you, Danny."

"Dude, don't," Jake advised, chewing on one of his protein bars from home. Danny was about to start ripping his hair out. Nikki wasn't talking to him after something he said to her. The thing was, he couldn't figure out exactly what it was he had said, but apparently everyone else knew and wouldn't tell him. Talk about aggravating.

Nikki flashed him a look of hurt and anger before packing up the last of her paints and leaving, easel in one arm, supplies in the other. On the way out, one of her brushes dropped. She didn't bother to pick it up.

"You really screwed up this time dude." Jake observed unhelpfully. "Seriously, what you said, man… not cool." The plastic wrapper of the protein bar crinkled in his grip.

"But what exactly did I say?! I'm missing something here, Jake!" Whatever it was, it must have been pretty bad if Nikki wouldn't even stay in the same room as him. Danny found himself feeling kinda guilty, and he hadn't even found out why.

Jake's eyes widened, "How can you not know?!"

Danny banged his head against the wall a few times. Aside from the searing pain, it didn't hurt that much. "I'm leaving," he muttered.

Jake crumpled the wrapper, and tossed it in the garbage can, then wiped the crumbs off his bunk bed. "Where to?"

Danny paused at the door, "I'm gonna go feed myself to the sharks."

"Have fun with that!"

Confession Cam

Lez: Yeah, my theory sounds a little far-fetched. I'll bet everyone watching this is like "oh, look, Lez has gone totally nutso!" But I haven't! Really! I fact, I have a witness. And it's human too! (drags in Benny) Tell them what you saw.

Benny: Uh, okay. Well, I was just a couple yards away from the cabin reading this really interesting book about-

Lez: Getting back on subject… (someone knocks on the door; Lez and Benny don't hear it)

Benny: Oh, right. No one was in the cabin- I know because I saw Lauren, Shane, and Teresa head to the lake; Sapphire was going to the mess hall to search there for something or other-

Lez: Matches.

Benny: -Will was on his seventh coke and was convinced that the squirrels were out to get it; and Lez was talking to me about Zombie Aliens 6- The Revenge…. Or was it the Return? (another knock at the door) Anyway, Lez climbed up the tree I was sitting next to, so I guess he couldn't see the cabin very well through all the branches. But I could. Sort of. I saw the thief. Sort of.

Someone: (from outside) Thief?! (Lez throws open the door and pulls in Lauren)

Lez: Lauren? What are you doing here?

Lauren: I should be asking you the same thing. Is there really a thief?

Lez: We think so.

Benny: You guys do realize we're crammed in the Confession Cam stall, right?

Lauren: That could be a problem.

Lez: Yeah. (they turn off camera and exit)

"Okay, campers. It's time for your next challenge!" Chris went over to a table with two huge charts on it. On one side of the charts were the campers' names (Unicorns on one, Yettis on the other) and on the opposite side were larger boxes with a little piece of Velcro in the middle. Chris held up the Yetti's chart. "This challenge is 'How well do you know your fellow campers?'"

"Chris," Myri pointed out, "We don't know them. It's only been a few days. Shouldn't we save this challenge for later?"

The host considered it, "Well, we were going to revive the canoe trip challenge but someone *cough*Will*cough* sank all the canoes this morning." Will tried to hide the canoe paddle behind his back. "Instead we're doing this. Here's how it works:

"First, each team gets the other team's chart. Then I'll read the fact out-loud and hand it to you. Then you consult about it could be, put it next to the camper you've decided on, and the appointed speaker will tell me, and out viewers, who you've chosen. Yes, Myri?"

Myri cleared her throat, "Question, Mr. McClain. How do we know that the fact even matches anyone?"

Chris laughed, eyes gleaming, "That's the fun of it. You don't. I'm not saying either way."

Finding it pointless to argue, Myri simply sulked.

"So, unfortunately, we are out of time right now, but part two of today's episode is coming to you soon!"

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Just to see who's still reading, I can personally guarantee that anyone who reviews this chapter will be safe from elimination in the next! Except in the highly unlikely event that everyone reviews, in which case someone will still be sent home. But, like I said, that is near impossible since I know I've lost a lot of readers in the six months with no update. And to everyone who is still reading, thank you!

Love,
