Most of this chapter is taking place at the hotel while the reunion for All-Stars is being recorded. I am considering doing 3 chapters between reunions, with the first one focusing on the hotel as the reunion proceeds. That is all.

While the reunion was taking place, most of the Pahkitew contestants remained at the hotel. Ella had decided to go to Leonard's room to have a private conversation with him. Now aware of Sugar's hostility towards her, she wants their conflict to end in the most peaceful manner possible. Knocking on the door, she called out for him, "My fellow Leonard. I would love it if we had a one-on-one conversation. May that be possible?"

The door soon opened, and Leonard frantically looked around the hallway, before allowing her in, "Come in. Sugar doesn't know about this." They entered, and Leonard rushed to put on his wizard's hat to cover up his nappy hair. After "grooming" himself up, he stood in front of Ella, as she sat on the bed, "What do you want Ella? The reunion was more than hectic yesterday, and I did not appreciate you letting David attack me backstage."

"That was none of my doing, and I would never want any harm to come to you. We were very close friends, and I wanted us to have a conversation and to reunite, but things got complicated. Our... for a lack of better terms, partners have their own conflicts, which got in the middle of our discussion. Do you have some water here?" He pointed towards the fridge, and Ella got up to grab and drink a water bottle. After clearing her throat, she proceeded, "I did not appreciate how things went at the reunion. We have never had an argument, a fall-out, or shared harsh words towards on another, but you were very cold to me."

Leonard would be lying to say that he was not pained, but he had enough respect for Ella to clear things over, "Like I said on the reunion, it is very clear that you chose Dave over me when it came to our feud during the filming and airing periods of the show. You would always retweet what he said, go to his house, speak to him on the phone, and go to outings with him. You would refuse to even address the situation if someone asked you about me. And outside of that, you would only speak to me if it involved and pertained to you. I was proud of you for getting onto Broadway, but to go there, hang out, and pretend like everything is fine when you refused to support me was something I was not going to do."

Ella was starting to get frustrated with Leonard's half truths, "And like I said, I did try to contact you. I called both Dave and you, but he answered and you didn't. At first, I said nothing because it was cruel and uncomfortable, but I had to get involved afterwards. I watched the season, and saw all of the cruel things Sugar said to and about me. Why did you not defend me when she continued that in public? You did not make an effort with me Leonard, and you did not because of her. Why are you letting her control you so much?"

"This is not about Sugar Ella, but Dave is involved."

"She IS involved. She has been involved from Day 1. Why are you refusing to see this?"

"Because there is nothing to see. Dave attacked me yesterday. He physically attacked me. You can say whatever you want about Sugar, but she has NEVER physically attacked you."

"She has done a lot worse I am afraid. We can't even have a conversation about you and I without involving him or her."

"You DON'T GET IT ELLA. DAVE IS USING YOU," sprung up Leonard, yelling off the top of his lungs. "HE PAID NO ATTENTION TO YOU BEFOREHAND, AND WHEN THE SEASON ENDS AND HE HAS NO ONE, THEN HE DECIDES TO SPEAK TO YOU? HE HAS USED YOU AND ABUSED YOU."

Ella was not one to yell, but she could not contain it anymore as she got up to look directly in his eyes, "And WHY CAN'T YOU SEE that Sugar took EVERYONE WHO CARES ABOUT YOU AWAY FROM YOU. She has ISOLATED YOU. It is not a coincidence that she is doing the SAME THING TO TAMMY."

While Leonard and Ella were having a passionate conversation about their strained friendship, Dave was at the diner to eat some brunch. He was trying to keep to himself, but heard a confrontation take place.

Sugar was hovering over Sky, who was sitting down and eating, "GET OUT OF MY SEAT. YOU KNOW I SIT THERE EVERY DAY. MOVE BITCH."

Sky has never been intimidated by Sugar, and she was not going to handle her horrid behavior as she was eating brunch. She drank her water before shutting this down, "Sugar, now is not the time for this. There is no name-tag that says "Sugar" on this table or seat. You were not here when I sat here. Just because you can order Leonard around does not mean you can do it to everyone else."

"You are NOT GON bring up MY BOYFRIEND and THINK NOTHING is gonna happen. KEEP HIS NAME OUT your mouth," the overweight blonde threatened, grabbing Sky's plate of food, and threw it off the table. Sugar plucked her finger in Sky's face, trying to scare her into moving, "I TOLD YOU to get the FUCK OUTTA MY SEAT. DON'T THINK I don't remember you flapping your thin ass lips about me at the reunion yesterday. There is STILL time for a beat down."

When Sugar's finger aggressively hit Sky's forehead, she grabbed her cup of water to throw it into Sugar's face. Almost immediately after, she shoved Sugar so she had enough room to get up, "DO NOT touch me. I am NOT the one Sugar. Now that you threw MY FOOD, I am going to take YOUR FOOD and eat it."

Dave rushed over to the scene, ans saw Sugar attempt to choke Sky for grabbing her plate of food and eating from it. Managing to make it in the middle right before Sugar wrapped her hands around Sky's throat, Dave grabbed and forced her hands down, "LEAVE HER THE FUCK ALONE. WHY do you have to start trouble with EVERYONE AROUND YOU? Sky may be an opportunist, but she does NOT bother people who do not bother her."

"I SEE what is happening. YOU are trying to get in her FISHY COOCH again, so you are trying to put this on. OR you are doing this so Ella can..." Sugar assumed that this was a ploy for Ella to hook up with Leonard behind her back, and she pushed Dave into Sky to run up to his room, "THAT TRAMP IS FUCKING MY MAN."

Both Sky and Dave ran after Sugar to constrain her, and to stop her from killing Ella, "You need to calm down Sugar. Not everything is as extreme as you think. Just stop this."

Sugar only got more riled up, "DON'T FUCKING TELL ME TO CALM DOWN ACCOMPICES. Y'ALL GET FUCKED UP. YOU TWO PLANNED THIS, SO Y'ALL ASSES DESERVE THIS." She started pushing and punching the two of them to get her out of their grasps, and everyone in the restaurant started to panic.

After stumbling back due to a punch, Sky decided to drop her nice behavior, "DID THIS BITCH HIT ME? I AM NOT GONNA LET HER GET AWAY WITH THIS!" Reaching for a punch, but before the hit connects, Dave grabs her arm, and drags her back, "What the HECK WAS THAT? I would have THOUGHT you would have wanted to see me hit her."

He looked at the security rushing to escort Sugar out the restaurant, and instantly pin her down, "Sky, it is not worth it. We are not at the reunion, where there are no police. If you hit her, they would take you in with her. Just let her sink herself." They continued to watch Sugar lose a battle against the police, and it looked like the put handcuffs on her.

Justin and Cody were both laying down under their disheveled sheets, sleeping like canaries. Three bodies entered back into the room, and hovered over the two friends. Katie, Beth, and Sadie started planting kisses over the two, and caressed their sleeping bodies.

Beth remained possessive over Justin after all of these years, and shoved Katie to the floor when she was getting too close to Justin's rear, "BACK OFF! Go over to Cody, you know, the one you slept with last night."

Sick and tired of Beth being the mot desperate and clingy one towards the men, Katie pushed back, "STOP BEING SADE-HOG BETH! You and Justin AREN'T EVEN TOGETHER. I am SICK of you being so entitled with your first picks and all."

"SHUT UP you two," yelled Sadie, who was straddling all over Cody, and planting kisses on his neck. "You're going to ruin the mood for the men."

Both Katie and Beth rolled their eyes, and the later muttered, "You're only in a good mood because Sierra is at the reunion right now. If she WAS here, your neck would be around her wrists." None of the women knew their bickering woke up the two former Drama Brothers

"Ugh, I knew it was a bad idea to have an orgy without a third man. If only DJ hadn't bailed," slumbered Justin as he woke up. "It was nice to see you ladies ravish us out of our beautiful sleep. You should do it more, right Cody?"

The geeky Drama Brother woke up out of his sleep, "Egh. Sierra and I are kind of on a standstill, so this was nice. Shit, I wonder how she is doing at the reunion. Why are you three here and not there?"

"Calm down Cody," interjected Sadie. She sat down, and started explaining the events of the reunion, "Well, we were at the reunion, but things got crazy. From the first few minutes, Alejandro and Duncan started tearing into Mike and Cameron. Duncan had to go to the back to calm down after fighting Mike. Sierra argued with Gwen over jealousy, you, and talking smack behind the cameras during the season. We left after Alejandro, Heather, Courtney, and Duncan jumped the Holy Quad. The fighting got so bad that the reunion had to be stopped for a few hours. We left after that."

Justin took pride, knowing that a fight went down, "I hope they got some hits in Duncan and Alejandro. I take great delight beating up Al's ass that one time."

"That was hot. Your shirt was off, and all of those muscles glistening. I never knew you were so tough," purred Beth, grabbing Justin to caress his upper body. "Trent stayed over there to console Gwen, and Harold wanted to see more messiness, loving the fighting."

Cody was not really worried anymore, "You know, I should check on Sierra, but she seems fine and was out of the major drama, so..." and grabbed Sadie's face to start a makeout session, continuing their ministrations from last night.

Justin got jealous, and looked over to Katie and Beth, "Well, we can't be left out, right? Justin needs a lot of love, and you two did a good job last night. COME ON OVER." He lunged form the bed to pull Katie and Beth over him to continue their heated session from the night before.

Samey walked over to Rodney`s room, and knocked on the door. She made sure to cover the peephole, just in case he thought it was Amy. When he opened the door, the nervousness definitely returned, "Hi Rodney. May I come in?"

"Sure," he responded, opening the door more and moving over so she can enter. The both sat on his bed, and the silence was more than awkward. Feeling like he needs to force whatever she came here to come out of her mouth, he started the conversation, "So, why are you here?"

She got out of her silent trance when he spoke to her, which got her to nervously explain why she was there, "Well, I just want to firstly say that I know we did not get along in the island, or every day since, but I know how it feels to be humiliated by Amy. The reunion yesterday was something I was not expecting and for you to be blindsided like that was more than cruel. How are you feeling?"

Looking at the underwear that Scarlett left on the floor, he started to smile, "I feel better than I did yesterday. I should have known Amy wasn`t the one, and I should have known her and Topher were involved. He was always so sketchy when the four of us were around, and they were overly quiet. Like quiet enough to know that something was up. I am sorry for being so harsh on you for the last year and a half. I feel like such a FOOL for not picking up the signs."

"Forget about Amy right now. How do you feel about Rodney? You two were friends, and it is hard to throw that away. Do you have any plans to speak to him for the remainder of the week?" She saw him remain silent, and decided to change the topic, "So, I spoke to Jasmine last night, and she wants to speak to you about what happened with the two of you and Shawn. She also feels really bad about Amy."

The usually positive man grunted at that mention, "Jasmine is a follower of Shawn, and she is letting him dictate their relationship. Who decides to not speak to someone because their boyfriend is a paranoid psycho? If she had anything to say to me, she could have came here herself instead of telling you to tell me that. If you want us to start over, than that is fine. I should have been easier on you, and I am glad you showed me some support."

Samey reached out to give Rodney a hug, "I will always be here for you. It is a shame how neither one of us gave the other a chance, but Jasmine always spoke highly of you. I know that those two have a lot of flaws in their relationship; trust me. But what I can say is that they are god people, and are easily forgiving. I think you should speak to both Jasmine and Shawn Rodney. And I do not know if getting involved with Scarlett is a good thing."

"Listen, I appreciate your efforts to clear the air between us, and to start a friendship, but I have to draw the line when it comes to my heart. Scarlett was the only consistent one who has been there for me for the last 30-40 hours. She was in hiding for almost 2 years because of the show, and was broken. You do not know Scarlett like I do, and I would appreciate it if you did not talk negatively about her."

Staci was wandering around, looking to find where her friend was, and the only place she could find her outside of her room was the garden at the back of the hotel. She walked over to see her petite friend sitting down on the bench in a fetal position. Before Staci sat next to her, Dawn cut her off with her" speaking.

"I am shocked you came out here to look for me. You care very strongly about people, but you are usually too lazy to put forth a lot of effort in general, unless it involves your family. How are you doing Staci?"

The brunette finally sat down beside her friend, and easily expressed how she was feeling, "Well, I was not at the reunion today, so I have no idea what is going on there. I am not nervous at all, other than the fact that people will be pissed that I helped spill the beans about or cast to Sierra, since we are working together now. She should be giving me spoilers about the reunion now." Right on que, a text from Sierra came her way, and she quickly read it, gasping in utter shock.

Dawn jolted her head to look at Staci because of the urgent gasp, "What happened? Did something horrific take place? I don`t like it when you gasp like that."

"Mike, Cameron, Sam, and Zoey got jumped. It was truly horrific. Jo got humiliated after a sex tape with her and Lightning leaked, Sierra fought with Gwen, Courtney fought with Gwen, Alejandro fought with Sam, Duncan and Al jumped Cameron and Mike a few times, and production was on hold for over an hour Scott talked about his drug issue a bit as well."

Knowing how he thought about the situation, and whom he usually blames those unfortunate events on, Dawn signed in sadness, and annoyance, "It would be nice if he did not slander me when I was not there. He asked me for some remedy tea, and had an allergic reaction to it. How was I supposed to know that he was going to use it for marijuana, and to add cocaine to it? I may have some strong reads on the future, but not to this extent. Brick must be a mess now. We know how much he cares for Jo, so I hope he is not over his head on this."

Staci remembered that moment all too fondly, "Don`t remind me. I had to clean up your image through various blog posts revealing what happened that led up to Scott`s overdose, and eventual tryst in the military. He had the nerve to try and start stuff with me, but he knew no one can out-mouth me. Dakota and Sam are probably mad at me for exposing their relationship as nothing but a publicity stunt to promote her father`s business. Even you sensed that through their auras."

"We really should not be gossiping about our former competitors. We will never be on that island competing for a million dollars again, so it is best that we apologize, forgive, and move on with our lives. Maybe we can all be friendly and form a true bond. Our cast has always been so divided, and it is a shame, since they are for mostly petty reasons. We all, including you and I have our flaws. We are both very critical and nosy of others."

She knew Dawn was secretly right, though Staci loved it when chaos was taking place around her, "Well, I guess you are right. I don`t want to be involved in any drama, especially since I was only in an episode, and they barely know me. I really appreciate you, B, and Brick taking the time to know me. I am sure we`ll all be fine."

The reunion taping was finished, and Lightning was dragging his flame Anne Maria through the hallways and up the elevator, until they got to his room. He pushed her in the room, and slammed the door before the yelling began, "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT YOU SHADY BITCH? WHO GAVE YOU THE FUCKING NERVE TO ENTER LIGHTNING'S FUCKING ROOM AND STEAL HIS PERSONAL SHIT?"

Anne Maria was not about to be dragged around like a rag doll, and never one to back down. She pushed Lightning against the door, and started poking him, "BITCH, DON`T BE FUCKING YELLING AT ME ABOUT THAT BULLSHIT. YOU WERE THE ONE DUMB ENOUGH TO CARRY THAT SHIT AROUND. YOU HAD OUR SEX TAPE UP IN THERE AS WELL. AN OPPORTUNITY CAME UP, AND ANNE TOOK IT, KNOWING SHE IS GONNA GET PAID, MOTHER FUCKER."

"LIGHTNING CARRIES IT TO REMEMBER GOOD MEMORIES. HOW THE FUCK DID THOSE BITCHASSES ALEJACKASS AND HELLTHER GET THAT SHIT! YOU ONLY ONE TO BE HERE. YOU HAD NO DAMN RIGHT GIVING THAT TO THEM. YOU ARE A FOUL MOTHER FUCKER, AND ARE A SICK BITCH. YOU LOST ALL RESPECT FROM LIGHTNING." He started hovering over her, and walking up on her, forcing her to walk back.

"BACK THE FUCK BACK LIGHTNING. DON`T COME UP ON ME LIKE THAT," the jersey belle yelled, pushing his head back. "WHEN YOU WANT TO HAVE A CALM CONVERSATION, THAN CONTACT ME, BUT UNTIL THEN, GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY FACE." She plopped on the bed, and heaved, trying to catch her breath. "I was minding my own business, trying to hook up with that hot hunk from the Pahkitew cast. After that hot piece of ass left, Alejandro sent a call my way, and I had to. Jo has been after me for YEARS now. The transvestite blames me for your family falling out with her, and I ALSO know the bitch is trying to get info about my kid. WHY are you defending her all of a sudden? She did ALL OF THIS SHIT to you for YEARS, and YOU are yelling at ME? ARE YOU FUCKING HER?"

He listened and absorbed it, but it was not enough for him to accept and to forget it happened. Lightning was sickened, and rushed to grab her undergarments from his dressers and threw them at her,"Get the FUCK OUTTA HERE with that bullshit. You sold Lightning out for a DUMB SISSY MAN WHO WON`T FUCK YOU. GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE, GOLD DIGGING HEIFER."

Offended, pissed off, and disrespected, Anne Maria looked around, and saw an open beer bottle. She rushed to grab it, "I`M A GOLD-DIGGING HEIFER? YOU USED ME TO GET CLOSE TO MY PAPPA AND MY MODELING CONNECTIONS, YOU BITCH. YOU AIN`T EVEN MAKING BALLER`S MONEY FOR ME TO GOLD-DIG YOUR BLACK ASS. FUCK YOU, AND YOUR LIMP DICK. THAT SHIT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK MEN LIKE JO. YOU`RE ON YOUR OWN," before dumping it all over his face. After it was empty, she threw the bottle, and rubbed his eyes to make it burn. Anne Maria walked out of the room with Lightning rubbing his eyes and screaming for his life from the alcoholic burn.

Jo had some time to calm down (by her standard) after the reunion ended, but she was still very agitated and determined to find Alejandro and Heather, but especially Anne Maria. She was trapped in Brick`s room, and was pissed off, "Why do I have to be forced to stay in here? It is not even my room.

"Because I know you will go after her as soon as I turn my back and leave you to yourself. You are very predictable Jo," Brick hissed in an exhausted tone. "I get it that you are mad, but you cannot stoop to their level, which proves nothing. You are better than that. I don`t even know why you would trust Lightning with anything of that sort."

"I`m gonna go after him as well. Who in the hell carries sex tapes with them everywhere they go," she continued to complain. When Brock was walking to his dresser, she attempted to run out of the door, but he beat her to it. "LET ME GO. WHY do you even care anyways? We haven`t spoken in years."

Brick forcefully grabbed her shoulders, trying to stabilize the furious woman from her erratic thoughts, "I care because you did not deserve what happened to you, and I know that you do not like having your sexuality thrown in your face. It is a huge trigger for you, just like it is for me. You were one of the only people to contact me before I went off to war, which means a lot."

Being forced to sit on the bed, Jo complained about her weakening body, "I am hungry. Can I at least get something to eat? They barely let us eat at the reunion today, and I`m gonna get a headache."

"Mike and Zoey are bringing food right as we speak," he assured her. There was some awkward silence between the two, but he was curious about one thing, "How did you end up becoming a sports model?"

She saw Mike and Zoey enter the room, handing her and Brick some food, "After Lightning`s father blacklisted me from a lot of sporting teams and events, I had to find another way of making money, so... modeling came up I am not in no tight clothes or crop tops, so it is fine." Looking at Mike and Zoey, Jo asked, "So, what is the game plan for tomorrows reunion?"

Zoey was completely turned off by what Jo was trying to insinuate, "I do not like team ups, so I will not be doing any of that. Today was just horrible. I know that Anne Maria is going to do anything to humiliate Mike and I, like what she did with you today. I am sure Dakota will join her, since they are BFFs. The interesting thing is that Sam hates Anne Maria. Scott seemed fine at the reunion today, but that was only because we did not interact that season. He may be a concern as well. Lightning is a loose canon as well."

Brick had an idea, but he did not know if Mike or Zoey would take into consideration, "Uh... I have an idea, which I think you two should try out. How about one or both of you talk to Anne Maria today, and try to clear the air? Dawn told me that is the best way to end conflict and hostility in your lives. If things are cleared now, than there is no reason to fight in the reunion."

Mike laughed in his face, "That will never work, and I refuse to engage with her. We have tried to talk to her for years,but she wanted conflict, and she wanted misery. We are not going to let it affect our lives, and if she chooses to be bitter, than that is her problem."
