Rosalie stared in disbelief at the returnee with her brown pigtails, "I thought no one would ever return?," she questioned. Her mind falling back to his smile, and the way his muscles used to hold her tight, she missed Emmett, but he was gone, and she was still here.
(CONF): Rosalie sat on Santa's cold lap, "it's the tale of Romeo and Juliet, and the only way for us to have a happy ending is to be under gravestones."
Michel made his way to standing beside Rosalie, "just remember that he's out there cheering you on." The girl nodded, giving her friend a hug.
"And what's this I hear about you and Ivy?," Rosalie raised her eyebrows, "I don't like being the last to know these things, you should know." Mitchel blushed slightly, Rosalie walking away.
(CONF): Mitchel stands impatiently beside the robotic Santa, his feet tapping, "Jade promised that Ivy would go home. She said, I wouldn't need to deal with Ivy's little puppy crush any more. I'm not exactly ready to date anybody."
The dancer, slowly made his way over to Ivy, after Rosalie kept glaring at him from the other side of the room. The red-headed girl was currently bawling her eyes out into her hands. "I-Ivy?," he asked.
Immediately, the sobbing girl's frown turned upside down, "Mitchel!," she cheered, jumping into his arms. "Oh it was terrible! I thought I might never get to be with you again."
The dancer winced, "yeah... I know just how you feel."
Jade watched from the sidelines, shaking her head. The follower marched over to the redhead, stepping over the wrapping paper from their Christmas-Eve gifts. "What do you think you're doing?!," she declared, glaring at the boy. "You can't just vote her out, and pretend like you didn't. Come on Ivy, we don't need him!"
Ivy stared at Mitchel, her arms still wrapped around his slim waist as Jade pulled her away. As they moved away, Ivy flailed her arms, like a child trying to grab their candy. "Mitchy!"
When Ivy was out of sight, Mitchel muttered to himself, "thank god."
Frosty and Twilight walked towards the teen sitting on the ground, "what's wrong bud?," the elf asked.
"It's obvious, isn't it?," Twilight started, carrying her plush cat, "he's the only one on your team to not vote Ivy off, but now the wicked witch of the west is going to be gunning after him."
"The wicked witch?," Frosty asked. Twilight sighed, pulling her little elf away. "Don't mind him, sometimes think he forgets that we're on t.v," Twilight giggled.
"We're on t.v?"
Jade and Ivy were sitting at one of the tables, "Ivy, you have got to get over him. He's no good for you. The teams have merged, and our alliance isn't strong enough to win anymore!"
"But Mitchel will vote with us... And 3 votes is still a large chunk of 11. As long as everybody else flies solo, we're fine," the redhead examined, counting the votes.
The follower shook her head, "but your Mitchy-poo, just voted you out. And you would have gone home. So unless you want to leave this game, I suggest getting your little heart, out of this game," Jade snapped, walking out of the mess hall.
"Want a bicky?," Britt asked, exiting the mess hall and following Jade.
"Aca-scuse me?," she responded, stopping.
The brit scratched through his hair, "ah, sorry I buggered that. Do you want a, uh, cookie?"
Jade smiled softly, "oh... please." The duo began a short walk towards the cabins, munching on the cookies.
When the two reached the girls cabin, Britt pulled Jade into a tight hug, "don't think I've forgotten about our one-off," he winked, walking off to his own cabin.
"That's very good news to my ears. Very, very good news..." Jade whispered to herself, stepping inside of the new, all-girl cabin.
'(CONF):' Jade is shown sitting on Santa, "Ivy's secret is safe with me for now, I need her vote after all."
Back in the mess hall, the amount of teens sitting around was decreasing, as more and more headed off to sleep. Lexi and Zaina however, were still locked in one anothers arms. "I won't let anybody hurt you again, I swear," Zaina whispered.
"Thank you," Lexi muttered, wiping away her tears.
"You know, I only had us vote Lexi off because I thought it would be best for her... The island was scaring her," Vishal declared, stepping closer to the to girls.
Lexi looked up, "the safest place for me, is and always will be, by Zaina's side. I couldn't have asked for a better friend."
"But, I thought maybe you would be farther away from the zombies, I just wanted to help you," the jock lied, trying secure his alliance.
Zana stopped hugging her friend and looked up at th coloured teen, "d'awww thanks. And you know what, I think my fist would feel so much safer, if it were punching you in the face. So if you don't mind, we have places to be, and people to see- who aren't you." When Zaina finished, her and Lexi left the mess hall and went to the girls cabin.
"Ouch. Who poisoned her wine," Saber cracked, trying to bring a smile on the jock's face.
"If you're talking to me because you want an alliance, you need to be friends with Britt again," Vishal declared, marching off, leaving Saber in the mess hall alone.
The fantasy lover blinked twice, "his royal highness is not pleased." After he laughed at his own joke, and left the hall as well.
T'was the night before Christmas, and all through Lindsay's overly-exaggerated wonderland,
Not a contestant was stirring, asides from the elf.
By his side a stolen suitcase packed with due-care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas would soon be there.
The contestants were nestled in their beds,
While visions of winning the ten grand, filled their heads.
With Lindsay and Brandon sleeping so chap,
And I having settled, for a long Winter nap.
When out on the roof there was such a clatter,
The elf gave out a cheer, knowing the matter.
Away to the window, he flew with a flash,
Tore open the locks, and let out his sash.
It was in this moment, that I knew my story would end,
As with Frosty's help I could surely blend.
Away from the island we would fly,
The Santa's workshop- I just had to try!
The voices did crash,
As the duo had a bash.
Shortly after, the gifts were placed,
And the elf gave brace.
"Now Dasher! Now Dancer!
Now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid!
On, Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch!
To the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"
And that was the end.
Say goodbye my friends,
Because Frosty and I,
Are learning to fly.
The camera cuts to quick shot of a flashing figure flying in the sky.
The Sun, like how it had fallen beneath the world, began to make it's climb back into the sky. And in the cabins, the teens were more than a little excited. "What do you think we are going to do today?," Rosalie asked, stretching her arms in her bunk.
"Well, it is Christmas, so I'm going to guess that it may or may not include opening gifts," Ivy chimed.
Lexi jumped off her bunk, "aha. We already know what your gift is. His name starts with an M..." Lexi giggled, helping Zaina off of her own bunk.
"Mitchy!," Ivy screamed, remembering her 'lover', as she burst out of the door, in search of him.
Jade purred, "thanks, it's not like i hadn't just gotten her to stop chasing after him or anything."
The flower girl smiled, noticing the frosted rose in Lexi's hair, "come on, play nice. It's Christmas!"
A knocking at the door, startled the girls, "it's the zombies!," Lexi shrieked, jumping to hide under Zaina's nighty, causing the girl to giggle.
"Don't worry Lexi, I'm sure it's not the zombies," Zaina softly said. From the other side of the door, the girls heard moaning. "I take that back!," Zaina whined out, diving beneath one of the beds, Lexi following suit.
Jade and Rosalie looked at one another, "those stupid boys!," Jade laughed, opening the door.
"Very funny," Rosalie laughed as the boys burst out laughing.
Mitchel took a step forward, "will you care to accompany me to the Christmas Tree?."
"As long as you promise not to bite me, and convert me," Rosalie laughed at the irony, causing the others to look at her.
Following suit, the other boys asked for the girls hands. Britt taking Jade, who gave a sly smile, Vishal regretfully pulling Zaina along, and Saber walking gently with Lexi.
"She talks about you alot, you know," Lexi smiled, causing Saber to blush.
"That`s Hannah for you... Do you think she would be mad if I tried to talk to Britt again?," the fantasy lover asked.
The brunette shook her head, "who could deny a prince?"
In front of the duo, Zaina and Vishal were locked together by their arms, "if you hurt her again, you know I won't be afraid to kick your tush from the Pacific to the Arctic, and all the way to the Atlantic. Got that?," Zaina forced a smile.
"Got it," Vishal winced.
The British teen and Jade were laughing, "do it again! Talk with an Canadian accent,"
Britt beamed, "'ey I like bacon, and uh, puck ball!"
"What's puck ball?" Jade asked, hugging her partner.
"Vishal said it's what you guys call hockey?"
Jade sighed, "oh! Puck ball! You're just saying it wrong, silly!"
"What are you doing, pasty! Get your arms off of my boy!," Ivy screamed, charging at Rosalie, who was linked with Mitchel.
Jade purred, "if you'll excuse me." The follower rushed in front of Ivy, "what did we talk about? No more Mitchy-poo, he's not with you. He hates you. He doesn't love you," she enunciated each word carefully.
"Oh that's it, he's gonna get slapped," Ivy declared, handing her earrings to Jade. Jade grinned, as Ivy marched over to the boy and tackled him into the snow. "You broke my heart, now I'm going to break you!" The doors to the Mess Hall burst open, with Emmett rushing out, pulling the punching Ivy off of Mitchel, "do you mind? I think I'd like to reconcile with my friend in my piece."
"What are you doing back here?, I'm positive I voted you and your muscles out!"
"It's Christmas darlin', we were brought back so that we could all celebrate," Dania revealed, as she and the other eliminated contestants joined the teens in the snow.
"Saber!," Hannah shouted, running to her boyfriend.
"Hannah!," Saber grinned, hugging his girl tight.
Britt looked over at the couple, "Hannah..." he murmured. He turned around, and gave Jade a quick peck on the lips, causing her to smile gently.
"What was that for?" Jade asked.
Britt blushed, "sorry, I just don't want Hannah to think I'm still heartbroken over her."
"And there's just no love for meeeeeee," Andre sang, strumming on his guitar.
"That's it music boy! Just keep singing, because the star of the show has arrived!," Kaleb announced, strutting towards the other teens.
"And then the star of the shooooow, arrived, but nooooo body cared, because he's LAAAAAAAMEEEE," Andre laughed, as Kaleb glared at him.
Hannah held onto Saber tight, before staring at her ex. "Let me at him, Emmett's taught me some new moves."
Saber laughed, but stalled the girl, "you can't! I need Britt to like me again, if not I'm going to be the first one of us to leave. You can wait until after the show, ok?"
"Deal. By then, I should be able to have capped my strength skill."
Emmett and Rosalie were quick to embrace, "your secret is safe with me," he whispered, planting a kiss on her cheek.
"It better be, or else I'll find you," Rosalie laughed, as Emmett's face went pale, "kidding, kidding," she chided.
"So where's my little buddy? I miss my elf friend!," Emmett grinned, looking around at the other teens. Rosalie looked around, "I don't know, but now that you mention it. I haven't seen Twilight either."
Beth, Brandon, Lindsay and Trent were the last to exit the Mess Hall, "don't worry about those two, they're in a better place now," Beth stated, looking up into the sky.
"They're in Heaven?," Lindsay gasped, as the teens stared at her.
Trent chuckled, "no, no. They went with Santa, Beth and I saw the entire thing. Plus Twilight left you a note..."
"Oh you mean the paper we used for the fireplace...?" Brandon added in silently.
Ivy stared at the hosts her mouth wide open, "you mean the pipsqueak was actually an elf?"
Beth and Trent nodded. Emmett laughed, "you're kidding. Come on, where is he?" He walked into the mess hall, and started to look around the room. "Frosty?"
"Is at the North Pole with Twilight. Now can we please eat, this turkey isn't acutally burnt to a crisp and looks amazing," Brandon announced, his mouth drooling.
The teens and the hosts all sat around the table, as they all began to fill their plates with the food the hosts had ordered from Turkey Delight. "Now, not to sound rude or anything. But where are our gifts?" Lexi asked, slicing a piece of her pie.
"Well... Uh, about that...," Brandon started, but Trent quickly cut him off.
"Your gifts are each other," the musician smiled, as Brandon glared at him.
"Don't lie Trenton! Actually, I had to sell all of your gifts in order to afford the next challenge, which I'm sure all of you will love!"
Kaleb stares in disbelief, "does that mean we are all coming back into the competition?"
Brandon laughed, "no. Actually, I think you were all just leaving."
"Oh come on Brandon, there's no need to be jelly of Trent," Beth cooed, "you guys aren't leaving until after the challenge, but that's tomorrow."
"I'm not jealous," he mumbled.
"Sure, you're not," Beth giggled.
Ivy and Jade were counting on their fingers, before turning to one another, their faces stuffed with food, "there's only nine of us left!," they burst out in unison.
"Nine?," Trent questioned, shooting his head up from his dressing.
Lindsay smiled, "excellent observation. Yes, there are only n-i-n-e of you left," she spoke in a hushed tone trying to avoid Trent hearing.
"Nine. Nine. Nine," Brandon repeated, staring at Trent. The musician slowly started to repeat the number, tapping on the table nine times, and looking at the nine remaining contestants.
Beth glared at the jealous intern, "thanks! It took me an entire year to get rid of his obsession!" the geek snarled, chucking a chunk of turkey at Brandon.
"Hey!," he shouted, spraying the shorter girl with gravy.
Lindsay blinked, "food fight!"
In the blink of eye, the lovely dinner table turned into a war front. Saber and Britt both dived under the table, bumping into one another. Britt rubbed his head, "'ey mate! I was looking for ya'! I think it's time we sewn over our dispute, what do ya' think? I kinda miss being a musketeer."
"Sure, why not! It's Noel after all!," Saber nodded, as they spat on their hands and shook.
In the kitchen, another alliance was rekindled. "Look. There's nine of us left. With you, Ivy and I have a third of the votes. So I'll be expecting you to be voting with me again, or else I might just have to sick lover girl on you."
The dancer stared, "I thought we wanted to get rid of her?"
"We did. But change of plans, as long as I hold her diary, she's nothing to worry about."
While some hid inside, others were smart and ran out the door. "Do you think they're happy now?," Rosalie asked, Emmett wrapping his arms around her, as they laid on the ice.
"I think, that Santa is a lucky man, having two of the most special people up there in his crib."
"I hope so," Rosalie whispered, as they looked up at the stars, which no matter how hard they tried to see something different, were in the shape of Frosty and Twilight.
Ivy sat in front of the freezer, staring at the heart she had made the day prior. "Why don't you love me?," she whispered.
"Because he never got the chance to know the real you. And I don't think I ever did either," Dania chimed, joining her rival on the ground. "I know about the diary. I know about your fan I don't know you," she sighed.
"I just wanted to make her proud. I just wanted somebody to care or love me for once," Ivy bawled, falling into Dania's lap.
Dania stroked the girl's hair, "I'm here for you. Don't worry. I'm not going leave you. Even after everything, you still deserve to be loved."
Andre and Trent were busy hiding behind the Tree. "Not you again," Andre groaned.
"Like you're a bucket of sunshine to be around, either?," Trent laughed.
"Whatever."
As the food fight came to close, the teens who joined in, namely Zaina, Vishal and Lexi, were covered in food and decided to go off and shower.
Lindsay appears in front of the camera, "well, Chris!? How was that for a Christmas special?! think it was amazing anyways!. I got to spend some time with Beth and Trent, and all of the contestants again! But who would have thought that Frosty and Twilight would really end up leaving us? I'm kind of upset that I lost my little elf buddy. But stayed tuned for next time when the 9 remaining contestants and the eliminated contestants venture into my new wonderland!," She announced, as the camera pans out to reveal a large winter-themed theme park.
