A/N: This is it! The final part of the trust challenges! A little note before heading in: Gwen's, Geoff's, and DJ's POVs all happen at the same time. Duncan's POV starts after Heather got stung in the last chapter and Courtney's POV starts after she is released from the medical tent. Just to give you a little time setting. Review, flames accepted, disclaimer is in the first chapter, and let's go!
Gwen's POV
Why was I chosen for this? No matter, might as well get over with it.
"Come on white girl I haven't got all day!" Leshawna called me. I started walking to her. The toboggans were already set up for us.
"Okay, I'll be the navigator and you can be the driver." I told her. I really didn't feel like being blindfolded today. Or being the one who has to do everything.
"Got it girlfriend! Now put the blindfold on me!" She told me. I tied the blindfold tightly around her. Then it was time to start. Chef was holding down our toboggan, Chris holding down Geoff and DJ's.
"On your marks…get set…" Chris blew an air horn. We were heading down the hill at high speeds!
"Right! Right!" I yelled directions to Leshawna. Then we flew up into the sky after going on a rock.
"Woooo!!! Girl we are flying now!" Leshawna yelled out.
"Uh oh!" I shut my eyes. Then we landed with a splash in a river, picking up speed because it was going straight for a waterfall! I screamed, "AAAAHHH I'M NOT READY TO DIE YET!!!" We flew high up in the sky for quite some time, and then landed ahead of DJ and Geoff! Yes! We were going to win! I kept yelling out directions to her. I heard an explosion and looked back. Oh no! Explosives!
Geoff and DJ got hit by one and it sent them flying—but to the finish line! Ahead of us! We lost big-time. And we were really close too…what? DJ is reunited with his bunny? That's why he won? BECAUSE OF A BUNNY?! Ugh!
"And the Bass are the winners of the toboggan race!" Chris gave the verdict. Whoop-de-do. "Unfortunately, I said that these were BLIND challenges. By taking off the blindfold for a moment you broke the number one rule, WHICH MAKE THE GOPHERS TODAY'S BIG WINNERS!!!" Yes! In a strange turn of events, we won! Aw, Heather was back. This sucks. But we won! Julie seems to be in deep thought even though she's cheering. I wonder what's wrong…
Geoff's POV
"DJ, dude, I know you're sad about your pet bunny, but we've got to focus here! This could be life or seriously heinous injury bro!" I tried to get him out of his slump. I lied to DJ about his pet bunny running away. He was eaten by a snake that was then killed by an eagle that was then eaten by a shark. I can't tell him that's what actually happened!
"Bunny deserted me. Why should I trust you?" DJ glumly responded.
"Because I don't want to get hurt either!" I told him. I looked to Chef, who was painting oil on the toboggans.
"Just lubing them up. Get a little more speed going." Chef snickered.
"Let's go DJ. Time for the challenge." I told him. DJ followed me. We both got on the toboggan. I was the navigator and DJ was the driver.
"On your marks…get set…" Chris blew his air horn and pushed us down the hill. We were going along for quite some time and then…a tree! "Watch out for the tree!" DJ steered, but it was really close. "DJ, we really need you to steer dude! Bunny would want you to live!" I hoped I was reaching him.
"Hey DJ, look who I found!" Duncan yelled to us. And he showed us a bunny! I had to lie to DJ though.
"DJ, Duncan found Bunny!" I pointed to the finish line.
"Don't tease me man." DJ took off his blindfold. "Bunny! You came back! A'ight let's do this!" He put his blindfold back on. Now I could finally yell directions to him. I encouraged him to go faster. Then the other team popped up out of nowhere.
As I was yelling directions, suddenly, an explosive went off. Oh no! We have to navigate around this! I grabbed onto DJ. "What the hell was that?!" DJ asked me. We were doing fine, and then an explosive hit us! We were sent flying—straight to the finish line! We landed right on top of it! We won! We won! And DJ got a new—I mean, his, bunny back.
"And the Bass are the winners of the toboggan race! Unfortunately, I said that these were BLIND challenges. By taking off the blindfold for a moment you broke the number one rule, WHICH MAKE THE GOPHERS TODAY'S BIG WINNERS!!!" Ah man! We lost! This sucks! But at least my trust in DJ has been solidified! Now to think about whom should be eliminated…
DJ's POV
"DJ, dude, I know you're sad about your pet bunny, but we've got to focus here! This could be life or seriously heinous injury bro!" He tried to get me out of his slump. I'm so upset. Why'd Bunny do me like this? Life's cruel.
"Bunny deserted me. Why should I trust you?" I glumly responded.
"Because I don't want to get hurt either!" He told me. I just kept my head down.
"Let's go DJ. Time for the challenge." He told me. I followed him. We both got on the toboggan. Geoff was the navigator and I was the driver.
"On your marks…get set…" Chris blew his air horn and pushed us down the hill. We were going along for quite some time and then…"Watch out for the tree!" I steered, but it was really close. "DJ, we really need you to steer dude! Bunny would want you to live!" He told me.
"Hey DJ, look who I found!" Duncan yelled to us.
"DJ, Duncan found Bunny!" Geoff gasped and told me excitedly.
"Don't tease me man." I took off my blindfold. "Bunny! You came back! A'ight let's do this!" I put his blindfold back on. Now I could steer to the finish line. Geoff encouraged me to go faster.
As he was yelling directions, suddenly, I heard a boom. Geoff grabbed me.
"What the hell was that?!" I asked him. We were doing fine, and then something hit us! We were sent flying! We landed right on the ground with a slam! We won! We won! And Bunny came back to me! I thanked Duncan for finding him and snuggled him for a very long time.
"And the Bass are the winners of the toboggan race! Unfortunately, I said that these were BLIND challenges. By taking off the blindfold for a moment you broke the number one rule, WHICH MAKE THE GOPHERS TODAY'S BIG WINNERS!!!" Ah man! We lost! This sucks! But at least I'm reunited with Bunny! Now to think about whom should be eliminated…
Duncan's POV
This blind trapeze challenge doesn't look promising. Might as well spend time doing something useful, like finding a new bunny for DJ. Yeah, I think I'll do that.
I found a carrot and started waving it around in the woods. Yes, a bunny wanted it! I waved it, enticing the bunny to follow me. And then I caught it! Yes! Ah man, I better get back! I got back right on time for the final challenge. It was almost over and DJ was almost at the finish line.
"Hey DJ, look who I found!" I yelled to him. He started going faster. And he won! I gave him the bunny, which he snuggled with for a long time. He thanked me.
"Whatever man it's just a stupid rabbit." I put on my mean guy façade.
"I can't believe you found a new bunny for DJ." My eyes widened. Could it be…? "You're a good guy."
"What? No I'm not." I denied it. I turned around and saw Courtney. How does she know?
"You are! You're actually…nice!"
"I don't know what you're talking about." I kept denying it. She scoffed and laughed at the same time.
"I saw you do it Duncan." Did I wander by the medical tent on accident?
"Whatever he wouldn't leave me alone weird rabbit." I denied it once more, hoping she would go away. Instead, she had a very smug look on her face with her arms folded as if waiting for me to concede. So I did.
"Okay fine I did it! Are you happy now?" I whispered to her. "Listen, don't tell anybody okay? I don't want them to think I'm soft or anything." I looked away from her.
"Your secret's safe with me." Courtney walked away. She bugs me, but that makes her SO DAMN HOT!
Courtney's POV
I woke up again, still contemplating why Duncan would act nice. It's kind of weird.
"You can go. It's near the end of the final challenge." Chef told me. I got up and started walking out of the tent. I finally found the rest of the campers. They just finished their challenge. I stayed behind and watched them. Duncan gave DJ the rabbit! That's why he was luring the rabbit! To give it to DJ!
"Whatever man it's just a stupid rabbit." He put on his mean guy façade.
"I can't believe you found a new bunny for DJ. You're a good guy." I walked out of the bushes and told him. He didn't look at me.
"What? No I'm not." He denied it. He turned around and saw me.
"You are! You're actually…nice!"
"I don't know what you're talking about." He kept denying it. I scoffed and laughed at the same time.
"I saw you do it Duncan." I confronted him with the truth.
"Whatever he wouldn't leave me alone weird rabbit." He denied it once more, hoping I would go away. Instead, I folded my arms and waited for him to concede. He finally did.
"Okay fine I did it! Are you happy now?" He whispered to me. "Listen, don't tell anybody okay? I don't want them to think I'm soft or anything." He looked away from me.
"Your secret's safe with me." I walked away. I guess I can't deny that I like him much longer. No, maybe I can! I will!
My POV
So the Bass have to vote someone off. I'm pretty sure it'll be Sadie. This is working out exactly like I planned it. Now for tomorrow's challenge, I'll have to do some major overhaul. This is going to be interesting…I plopped on my bed and went to sleep.
Me: OMG! WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT! Well, except for the campers!
Julie: I know what happens!
Me: Well yeah, but you're an "invader". Expect major changes next chapter--okay, maybe not so major, but you'll see. ;D
Julie: This is going to be good...hehehe...
Duncan: What happens next?
DJ: Is it going to hurt us?
Courtney: SUCK IT UP! We'll win the next challenge!
Me: Eh...
Courtney: WE DON'T WIN THE NEXT CHALLENGE?!
Me: Do you want me to make it so that you'll be eliminated next?
Courtney: On second thought, do whatever you want!
