"The final five are on their way." Murmured Carlton as he sat on the grass while Wallace paced in front of him. "They might hurt us … shouldn't you build a force field or something?"
"I'm afraid not; using a force field is as noobish as camping in X-box online." Replied Wallace as he continued pacing. "Now; we should have a little while until jimmy goody two shoes and his little entourage arrive so I think we should use that time to our advantage."
"By planting traps?" Guessed Carlton. "Don't make them lethal please."
"I didn't mean that; besides, I've already put a number of traps along the path so they'll be hard pressed to even reach us." Said Wallace dismissively before he grinned. "I'm going to using the time between now and the good versus evil battle to toughen you up! Mwahahahahaha!"
"Oh no!" Whimpered Carlton.
"Oh yes!" Cackled Wallace.
Confessional: Tough as titanium he is not!
Wallace: Maybe Carlton should grow a moustache; all tough men have them, yours truly included. Mwahahahaha! Man, evil laughter feels as grrrrreat as frosties.
"Ok then; here's your first lesson to becoming brave, tough, evil and strong." Said Wallace as he stopped pacing. "You see a small child with a cut on his arm crying next to a lemonade stand … what do you do?"
"Buy him some lemonade?" Guessed Carlton.
"No! Wrong, wrong, wrong!" Said Wallace with a shake of his head. "You steal a lemon from the lemonade stand and squeeze the juice into his cut!"
"That sounds scary." Whimpered Carlton. "And isn't that mean?"
"Exactly; if you want to be tough and brave you have to be assertive every once in a while." Explained Wallace patiently. "Here's another scenario. You are at a fancy restaurant with relatives; the violin band is playing, the food is great, romance is in the air. Your posh uncle in a smart tux asks for the mustard … what do you do?"
"Err … squirt it on the table cloth?" mumbled Carlton.
"A better answer than last time … but no!" Said Wallace with an evil grin. "You squirt the mustard across the table and into his eyes! And let me tell you; mustard really stings the eyes apparently."
Confessional: Mustard is one hot condiment!
Carlton: I wanna go home! Wallace means well … but I'm not a nasty guy!
Wallace: I'm not making Carlton evil … though that would be great! I'm simply teaching him how to be assertive. Consider him Whitey to my Spike minus the muscles … and the fact he isn't a rat.
The final five contestants still in the game had quickly reached the base of the thousand foot cliff. Wallace was definitely at the top waiting to commence battle with them. All they had to do was make it to the top of the large cliff … doing that would probably be FAR easier said than done as Wallace was known for his cheating; who knew what tricks and traps he would have in store for them?
"So … I guess we've got to get to the top of the cliff." Said Lavender. "Just so you guys know; Wallace is insane. Don't let him out of your site for a second. It may very well be the last thing you do … before you're thrown off the cliff and into the water far below."
"He isn't as evil as Kasimar is he?" Asked Jimmy. "He did try and attack me, Eleanor and Spider back in the theme song challenge so I'm not too sure."
"I wouldn't worry too much; he's insane but he isn't a sociopath … he's just crazy." Assured Lavender.
"I guess we should get going then." Said Tabitha as she began to walk up the grassy side of the cliff. "May the best contestant win."
Confessional: That would be me … except that I'm not allowed to compete.
Tabitha: By which I mean me.
Jimmy: I like Tabitha; she's a good sport. I guess the whole stereotype of rich people being mean is wrong. Pablo breaks that stereotype as well.
"Wait Tabitha." Said Jimmy. "Shouldn't we formulate a plan first? We'd have a better chance of success."
"I completely agree; but only one of us can win immunity." Reasoned Tabitha. "In the long run it wouldn't do much good to make a plan. Besides; who says Wallace doesn't have an 'evil' invention that would allow him to hear our entire plan?"
Confessional: Does he?
Wallace: Curses! She predicted my next move! Now my Eavesdropper 2000 will go to waste!
"I guess you have a point." Said Jimmy with a smile.
"Hey guys; look over there." Said Eleanor as she pointed towards a rock just a few meters away.
Lying next to the rock were a few weapons made from everyday objects; a shotgun made from pipes, a tazer made from a cell phone, a firecracker launcher built from a salvaged bike chassis, a hi tech looking torch and even a sort of gun built from a small traffic cone and some wood. Next to the weapons was a note. Lavender walked over and picked the note up.
"Hmm; what's this?" Asked Lavender as she began to read what was written on the note. "Dear goody two shoes good guys; Mwahahaha, I'm back baby! If you're feeling brave or foolish or maybe both then meet me at the top of the thousand foot cliff for a showdown in order to stop me from using my Clam Cannon 8000. I'll be waiting. To give you a sporting chance to defeat me you can use these weapons I built while I was at the Playa. And don't worry; they won't actually kill anyone. There's a difference between neutral evil and chaotic evil you know. Mwahahahahaha! From Wallace."
"Why would he want to risk *cough* being defeated?" Asked Spider in confusion. "Then again I *cough* don't pretend to understand how an evil genius's mind *cough* works."
Confessional: It works by solar power!
Spider: I always wondered why *cough* villains wanted their adversaries to get even with *sneeze* them. Is it for the thrill or *cough* something?
"Heck if I know." Shrugged Tabitha as she picked up the cell phone tazer. "Let's just arm ourselves and defeat the mad man."
The others quickly chose their weapons and here is what each of them had. Spider had the pipe shotgun, Jimmy had the traffic cone pistol, Lavender had the bicycle fire cracker launcher and Eleanor had the hi-tech looking torch.
"Chaaaaaaaarge!" Yelled Jimmy as he took off running up the steep cliff while Tabitha and Lavender followed close behind with Spider and Eleanor bringing up the rear.
"What happens when we *cough* get to Wallace?" Asked Spider as he ran with the others.
"I guess we'll have to wing it." Said Eleanor as she readied her torch. "Besides; Wallace isn't exactly a powerhouse and I don't think Carlton will want to fight us anyway."
"Good point." Agreed Spider. "But what about his *cough* clam cannon?"
"…That might be a problem." Said Eleanor with realization.
Confessional: Well if that isn't an understatement I don't know what is!
Eleanor: Clam's are gross! Then again they aren't as bad as peanuts I suppose.
Jimmy: You know; this challenge is kind of like a video game. Stop the bad guy and save the world! Well; I'd say that it's more like saving the island, but it's the same general concept.
Wallace was tossing stones off the edge of the cliff into the water below with Carlton; Wallace was trying to get Carlton to face his fear of heights. Carlton was shivering in fear but wasn't trying to run away, in Wallace's eyes this was a clear sign of making progress.
"This is nice isn't it." Said Wallace casually.
"I suppose it is … but I hope the rocks aren't hurting any of the animals." Mumbled Carlton.
"All the better if they are! Mwahahaha!" Laughed Wallace evilly. "Personally I'd rather throw bombs but they'd explode before hitting the water so it would be a waste."
"You're mad! Hurting people isn't fun! It's sadism!" Said Carlton disapprovingly.
"Well I AM a bad guy." Said Wallace. "Besides; I wouldn't have done what Kasimar did to Eleanor; I have standards. Trust me kid; stick with me and you'll transform into Macho Carlton in no time! Mwahahahaha!"
"I'm happy being regular Carlton." Replied Carlton uncertainly.
"You can't go through life being so afraid of everything you know." Said Wallace as he tossed another stone down below. "Having fear is natural, and fun to exploit may I add, but the amount of fear you have isn't normal. Is your Y chromosome made of jelly or something?"
"It's not like I can help my fears Wallace." Sighed Carlton sadly. "You see; I have one of the worst cases of Panophobia doctors have ever heard of. Do you know what it's like going through life scared of everything? If I could be braver I would be in a heartbeat! But my condition stops me from doing that; it's beyond my control."
"…That explains a lot." Said Wallace in an actually sympathetic tone. "Man; I don't know what I'd do if I feared everything. I'd be scared of bombs, evil and even James Bond. That'd suck."
"Why do you care?" Asked Carlton with a raised eyebrow. "I thought you were evil."
"The biggest baddest bad guys in history and fiction always treat their henchmen properly." Explained Wallace before cackling. "Anyway; I'm in a very evil mood! I think it's time to play go fish!"
"I don't see what's so evil about that." Said Carlton in confusion.
Confessional: Got any threes? … What do you mean 'go fish'?
Wallace: Obviously I'm going to cheat! I've been cheating at go fish since kindergarten. I always won an extra dollar of lunch money everyday! Mwahahahahaha!
Carlton: Wallace is crazy … but he's my friend … sorta. I'd like to toughen up … but I doubt I can do it. (A spider descends from the ceiling on a string of spider web). Ah! Help! It's a spider!
"This … could be a problem." Said Lavender as she looked further up the steep grassy cliff.
A short distance ahead was some turrets; they were turning by themselves and had shot a seagull out of the air with a high velocity tennis ball. Wallace's evil inventions were very makeshift … but they certainly did what they were supposed to indeed.
"It looks like Wallace has left a couple of obstacles to hinder our progress … maybe he's not as crazy as I thought." Pondered Lavender. "I doubt we could sneak around them. Does anybody have any ideas how to get past them? While only one of us can win immunity I think it's in our best interests to work together for now."
"I say we use our weapons on the turrets." Suggested Eleanor.
"Great idea Eleanor; I like your thinking." Complimented Jimmy nicely.
"Thanks." Said Eleanor shyly.
Confessional: I like raspberry cake!
Wallace: Using the weapons on the turret is EXACTLY what they were supposed to do. It's not rocket science … robotic science is much eviler! Mwahahahahaha!
Tabitha: Spider, Eleanor and Lavender were focusing on taking out the turrets while Jimmy and myself were covering them … I thought this would be a great time to subtly throw Jimmy off his game. Nothing personal; but I need to win immunity.
"So Jimmy; it's great to finally do a challenge without having to watch out for Kasimar isn't it?" Said Tabitha to start conversation. "I am ashamed I even considered voting Eleanor off; it may have been for the greater good … but I was wrong to suggest it."
"Don't worry about it Tabitha." Said Jimmy reassuringly. "You just thought you were doing the right thing, that's perfectly fine."
"I was getting afraid as to what Kasimar would do next … he may have switched the votes on me."
Jimmy blinked and looked a small bit uneasy.
"Would he have done that?" Asked Jimmy nervously.
"Maybe; only a cheater and bad person would switch the votes." Said Tabitha casually. "But now that Kasimar is gone we don't have to worry about that."
"Yeah … we don't." Murmured Jimmy.
"But Kasimar aside; do you know what really impresses me?" Asked Tabitha with a false admiring smile.
"Not really." Said Jimmy while thinking about what Tabitha had said.
"That you've got so far in the game and never said or done a single bad thing." Said Tabitha nicely. "I guess meanness isn't in your blood. I bet your parents will be very proud of you."
Before Jimmy could respond the sound of a few explosions was heard. The turrets had been taken out and were now in pieces.
"Onward troops!" Joked Eleanor as she ran up ahead.
"Ready to stop the cheating bad guy?" Asked Tabitha to Jimmy.
"…I guess." Said Jimmy with an uneasy look on his face.
Confessional: Nobody is perfect; but sometimes doing the wrong thing is actually the right thing to do.
Tabitha: Nothing personal; but Jimmy is actually a threat at this point. If I can throw him off his game then it'll be easier for me to win immunity.
Jimmy: (He looks very haunted). Is cheating something Kasimar would do? And what will mum and dad think. I cheated … Kasimar was truly horrible … but cheating is something he would do, and I've done it. … What have I done?
A little further up the thousand foot cliff the three teens, one preteen and one kid came across a sign with a skull on it.
"'Danger, mine field'." Read Spider nervously. "Would Wallace *cough* actually use mines? They could kill *cough* us!"
"Does anybody see a minesweeper Wallace might have left for us?" Asked Eleanor hopefully.
"I don't think he's being as generous this time." Lamented Jimmy in a troubled voice.
"Is something wrong Jimmy?" Asked Eleanor.
"Don't worry; it's nothing." Assured Jimmy.
Confessional: Jimmy has a nice hat!
Jimmy: Tabitha doesn't know it … but she's really got me thinking. Why did I cheat? I mean; I did it to save Eleanor … but will anybody want to be friends with a cheater? (Jimmy rests his head in his hands and looks distraught).
Lavender: Seriously Wallace … mines? You're horrible!
Wallace: I love a good compliment on how evil I am! Mwahahahahaha!
"So … what should we do?" Asked Eleanor as she idly flipped her torch on and off.
BANG!
Part of the ground exploded; a mine must have been buried there.
"Eleanor; I think your torch has the ability to trigger the mines!" exclaimed Tabitha. "How about you get in front of us and set off the mines; it'll be safer that way."
"Good idea Tabitha." Nodded Eleanor.
Confessional: That bomb is 'mine'!
Eleanor: There are so many mine related jokes I could make … but most of them are pretty groan inducing.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
The mines were set off one by one by Eleanor's torch as she led the other four of the final five through the mine field.
"The mines are a bit loud; but other than that this isn't really so bad." Remarked Lavender.
"Yeah; I guess Wallace didn't really *cough* think his plan through- whoa!" Eeped Spider as he tripped over his feet and feel to the ground.
If you are familiar with Spider's usual luck then what happened next will be absolutely no surprise to you whatsoever.
BANG!
Spider had fallen onto a mine that hadn't been detonated by Eleanor's torch. He was thrown up into the air with a wail and landed with a hard 'thud' and lay dazed on the ground.
"Spider! Are you ok?" Asked Lavender in concern.
"Do you need medical attention?" Asked Tabitha.
"Don't worry; I'll *cough* be fine." Assured Spider. "I knew I wouldn't win immunity *cough* anyway. You guys go and stop Wallace; I'll watch *cough* the clouds until the pain in my spine *sneeze* stops."
"Are you sure?" Asked Jimmy.
"As I said; I'll *sneeze* be fine." Assured Spider again.
"Well … ok. We'll see you later I guess." Waved Eleanor as she, Tabitha, Jimmy and Lavender quickly continued up the cliff.
Confessional: Watch out for land mine number sixty three, it's a tricky one!
Spider: Chef arrived after a few *cough* minutes and took me back to camp … I get hurt *cough* a lot don't I?
Chris: And it's funny! Haha!
Jimmy: Poor Spider.
Tabitha: That looked like it hurt … but it's one less person in the running for immunity.
Carlton: Those explosions sounds were scary! I don't like sound noises.
Wallace: Mwahahahahaha! One down and four to go!
"Have the explosions stopped now?" Asked Carlton shakily as he covered his ears. "They sound even worse than fireworks!"
"Yes they've stopped … and come to think of it; I should have bought some fireworks along that spell rude words! That would be so evil! Mwahahahahahahaha!" Laughed Wallace like an evil maniac as he threw his arms up.
"Can I go back to the playa yet?" Asked Carlton hopefully.
"Nope!" Laughed Wallace. "I still have to toughen you up."
"How are you going to do it this time?" Groaned Carlton.
"I could lock you in a room with Uzuri; she's super scary!" Suggested Wallace while rubbing his hands together devilishly.
"No! Anything but that! SAW makes me wet the bed!" Wailed Carlton pitifully.
"Ok, how about this … I teach you how to make X-ray glasses for you to use when the cheerleaders are getting changed." Smirked Wallace.
"…Ew! That perverted!" Cringed Carlton.
"That's what makes it evil!" Pointed out Wallace. "Mwahahahahahaha!"
Confessional: Evil weevil!
Chef: That Wallace kid is nuts!
Wallace: (He is eating a packet of peanuts). You are what you eat! Mwahahahaha!
Chris: He so totally stole that joke from Robbie the Reindeer … but who the hell cares? Haha!
"We're nearly there everyone!" Said Lavender happily as she readied her bicycle firecracker launcher. "May the best competitor win immunity. I'm pretty sure tonight's vote is going to be hard."
"You've got that right." Agreed Eleanor. "What do you think Jimmy?"
"…I have no idea who I'll vote for." Replied Jimmy while trying not to let his guiltiness show. "I'm friends with everyone still here."
'Maybe you should flip a coin." Suggested Tabitha.
"I've actually done that before when I haven't been able to decide." Revealed Jimmy. "There are some I would never vote for … but losing this far into the game must feel very disappointing."
"All the better since it was Kasimar who got voted off." Smiled Eleanor.
"…Exactly." Nodded Jimmy while inwardly feeling conflicted due to what Tabitha had said.
"Good riddance." Agreed Tabitha.
There was a small rumble that all four of the campers both heard and felt.
"What was that?" Asked Eleanor.
"It feels like a rockslide." Noted Tabitha.
"It's probably nothing to worry about." Shrugged Lavender before raising no eyebrow. "Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"
"Lavender! Look out!" Yelled Jimmy.
Lavender turned and immediately knew why the others looked afraid. It would however have been in her best interests to have looked a few seconds earlier.
KER-CRUSH!
Lavender was flattened by a boulder that had been rolled down from the top of the cliff; when the boulder rolled off her and further down the cliff a Lavender shaped hole was imprinted where the red headed cheerleader had been standing a few moments prior.
"Are you alright Lavender?" Asked Jimmy.
"Does she look alright?" Asked Tabitha flatly.
Lavender slowly sat up from within the hole and had a look on her face that made it clear she was currently dazed and on another planet.
"Wheeee! I'm a turtle!" Slurred Lavender in a daze as she fell backwards into the hole.
"… I think Lavender's out of the challenge." Said Eleanor with an 'eep'. "How on earth did Wallace get a boulder to the top of the cliff in the first place?"
"All villains can break the laws of physics I guess." Pondered Jimmy. "Maybe we should stay here and make sure Lavender doesn't get hit by anymore boulders."
"I think she'll be ok." Said Tabitha confidently. "If she can put up with Kasimar's bullying and win immunity so many times I think she'll survive this."
"Are you sure?" Asked Eleanor.
"Positive." Assured Tabitha. "Now it seems to me that we're very nearly at the top of the cliff; it's time to put a stop to Wallace's evil plan."
"I wonder if his clam cannon was just a bluff; I hope so." Gulped Eleanor.
"What's the worst that high velocity clams could do?" Asked Jimmy. "And just so you know; that was a rhetorical question."
Confessional: In SpongeBob Squarepants clams are like birds … SpongeBob and Patrick raised one once. Hilarity ensued.
Tabitha: With only two kids left to go against I think I've got this challenge in the bag.
Eleanor: Why do people have to be over the top villains? Why not over the top good guys?
Jimmy: (He appears to be in very deep thought). Maybe cheating was for the best … but do I deserve to win when my remaining competition all played fairly and I haven't. Having a conscience is both a gift and a curse.
"Ok; let's try something else." Said Wallace with a sigh.
Carlton was proving to be a very tough apprentice to teach. He was as soft as a bloomin marshmallow! Wallace aimed to make him as hard as diamond.
"How about this; I could take your to the yearly villain convention with me this year; that way you'll surely toughen up! Besides; watching the monster fights is always cool!" Exclaimed Wallace.
"M-m-m-monsters?" Asked Carlton with a gulp.
"Just a few things other villains put together with animal DNA extracts." Explained Wallace. "I personally prefer robotics, this year I intend to market my Ninja Lawn Gnome Samurai; never again will kids be able to play childish games on the lawn! Mwahahahahaha!"
"Aaargh! Not lawn gnomes." Wailed Carlton in terror.
"Don't tell me you've got gnomophobia." Sighed Wallace as he face palmed.
Before Carlton could respond the sound of some weapons cocking could be heard. Wallace and Carlton turned to the sound of the noise and saw Jimmy, Eleanor and Tabitha standing a short distance away and aiming their weapons at them.
"We're here to thwart you Wallace!" Announced Jimmy.
"Oh goody! This ought to be fun!" Cackled Wallace evilly. "Mwahahahahahahahahaha!"
Confessional: Good VS Evil round 2!
Wallace: Time to defeat the goody two shoes twosome and manipulative snake! I'm going to carry out my evil plan! Mwahahahahaha!
Wallace easily dodged the blasts that Tabitha, Jimmy and Eleanor fired at him; Wallace threw a stick of what looked like dynamite at them and dived behind the clam cannon.
"Run!" Yelled Eleanor as the fuse got smaller.
BOOM!
The dynamite exploded and left a black scorch mark where it had been before it detonated.
"Are you insane?" Asked Tabitha as she blasted a shot at Wallace.
"Most people would agree." Smirked Wallace. "Give me a hand Carlton!"
Carlton was cowering behind a rock and peeped out.
"No way! I'm scared of fights!" Whimpered Carlton.
"Take this!" Yelled Jimmy as he fired his weapon and an apple was blasted out; it conked Wallace square on the forehead.
"…Right; I'm upset now!" Growled Wallace as he leapt up into the control seat of the clam cannon. "Maybe a pearl will be compensation for getting hit by smelly clams that smell like fish!"
"Fish smells nice though." Replied Eleanor.
"Well I'm sure you'll enjoy getting buried by clams then!" Cackled Wallace as he switched clam cannon on. "Get a load of this!"
Wallace fired out a blast of clams which seemed to purposely miss Eleanor. Tabitha snuck behind the cannon raising her pipe shotgun to whack at Wallace.
"I see you!" Grinned Wallace as he swiveled the cannon around to face Tabitha. "This! Is! Sparta!"
Wallace fired a blast of clams right at Tabitha which sent her flying through the air backwards … and over the edge of the cliff.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRrrrrgh." Screamed Tabitha as she fell with her screams becoming quieter due to distance until she hit the water with a splash.
"Mwahahahahaha!" Laughed Wallace in evil triumph. "Nobody can defeat me! I'm evil and nobody better mess with me!"
Confessional: I hope she landed in the safe zone; those sharks carry traces of herpes!
Tabitha: (She looks enraged). I'm going to kill Wallace! Arrrgh!
Wallace swiveled his clam cannon around to face Jimmy; Jimmy aimed his weapon at Wallace at prepared to fire.
"Some good that will do; the clam cannon 8000 is apple proof!" Bragged Wallace.
Jimmy shrugged and fired an apple; it went right down the turret of the cannon; a second later Wallace fired the cannon … he shouldn't have done that!
BOOM!
The clam cannon exploded into pieces and Wallace lay on the ground looking dazed; after a few moments of lying still he leapt to his feet.
"Damn you! It took me three whole hours to build the Clam Cannon 8000 and you destroy it in a matter of seconds!" Roared Wallace in anger. "I'll just defeat you with my bare hands! Mwahahahaha!"
Wallace ran at Jimmy while flailing his arms in circles; Eleanor got to Wallace before he could reach Jimmy though.
"Leave Jimmy alone you meanie face!" Frowned Eleanor as she hit Wallace very weakly.
Wallace stopped on the spot looking stunned and in pain.
"Oooo! Ow! That was quite a hard blow! I'm mortally wounded!" Wailed Wallace as he began to stagger on the spot. "I'm going down! Tell Jerry my pet turtle that he was the vilest and snappiest turtle I ever knew!"
Wallace dramatically collapsed to the ground and groaned in pain some more. He held up a rose over his chest to signify he was 'dead'.
"Is this what death is like? It's not so bad really … oh the pain!" Groaned Wallace. "Curse you Eleanor! You foiled my evil plan!"
Wallace continued the melodrama for a few more moments before lying still.
"So … did I win?" Asked Eleanor as she looked at Wallace with a confused expression.
"Go Eleanor! Show that bad guy who's boss!" Cheered Jimmy as he hugged Eleanor in victory before he realized what he was doing. "Oh, err, sorry about that."
"Don't worry about it." Smiled Eleanor.
"Is it safe to come out now?" Asked Carlton as he hesitantly came out from his rock cover.
Confessional: Carlton missed one heck of a fight scene!
Eleanor: Yay! I won! I have to wonder though; it looked like Wallace let me win. That or he has an incredibly low body tolerance for pain.
Jimmy: I may not have won immunity … but did I deserve to really? Whether I did or I didn't I'm glad Eleanor won. I may only be ten but I really like that girl.
Wallace: Mwahahahahaha! Chris was a fool to bring me here! Covering Wawanakwa in clams wasn't my evil plan at all … though I was going to do that. The real evil plan was to cheat at the challenge so Eleanor would win. I've got five bucks on her winning the prize … and besides; after what Kasimar did she deserved immunity … wait … am I being nice? No! (Wallace starts smacking his head against the side of the confessional). GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!
Carlton: … Why was Wallace being so melodramatic? Maybe he should be in a drama club or something.
The five campers were gathered in camp center; Wallace and Carlton were standing nearby as well. Tabitha had dried off by now and Spider and Lavender had recovered from their mine and boulder mishaps.
"Well everyone; this challenge was very dramatic … and melodramatic too." Smirked Chris. "Since Eleanor landed the finishing blow on Wallace it's clear that she gets immunity from tonight's bonfire ceremony. As for everyone else … you have a one in four chance of getting voted off. And getting voted off this late into the game would be hilarious for me to watch because you'd probably cry! Haha!"
"Oh go and crap yourself *cough* over the intercom." Snapped Spider.
"Shut uuuuup!" Whined Chris pathetically as he stomped his feet like a toddler who had just been given a ten minute time out. "Just hang out and do whatever it is that losers do until the bonfire ceremony in an hour."
And with that Chris left to his luxury trailer to get his tenth daily massage from a very unlucky girl.
"Sucks to be you guys! Mwahahahaha!" Laughed Jimmy as he pointed in turn to the four who didn't have immunity.
"Oh shut up." Said Lavender with an eye roll.
"Yeah; at least none of us are dirty cheaters like you! We play fair and don't ruin the spirit of the game." Agreed Tabitha. "I don't know how anyone would like such a cheater like yourself; does anybody like cheaters really?"
"Well said Tabitha." Clapped Eleanor.
"You tell *cough* him." Nodded Spider.
Jimmy looked almost haunted by what Tabitha had said and wrung his hands nervously but nobody noticed this.
Confessional: Vote for Barack Obama!
Spider: I'm good friends with everyone *cough* still here; but I'm going to vote for Tabitha. She's a *cough* big threat and she's rich already so she won't be too *cough* disappointed.
Eleanor: I vote for Tabitha; it's just that she's the person I'm least close to is all.
Tabitha: I vote for Jimmy; he's a much stronger contestant than he looks. He's also liked by everyone so this may be by only chance to get him out. Still; I feel kind of worried for tonight; I can't lose, I can't. (Tabitha looks afraid for a brief moment).
A short while later the sun had set; the stars and moon were up in the sky and the five remaining campers sat around the bonfire area on logs and stumps. Wallace and Carlton were waiting on the boat of losers and would travel back to the Playa Des Losers with whoever was voted off. Chris soon arrived with a tray of a mere four marshmallows. He set the tray down on the oil drum like he always did and picked up the first marshmallows.
"Well losers; only five of you are here now … and soon we'll be down to an even smaller four. We all know Eleanor is safe … but who is going to be joining her in the final four?"
"I bet we all *cough* want to." Lamented Spider.
"Well regardless of if you want to be voted out or not it's time to start the ceremony." Said Chris as he held the marshmallow he was holding up into the air. "When I call your name come and get your marshmallow; that means that you are safe. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow must immediately walk the dock of shame and board the boat of losers. That means you're out … and you can't ever come back … ever!"
"You mean like how Andy, Daisy and Nakia came back?" Asked Lavender with a smirk.
"Shut up!" Whined Chris. "The first marshmallow goes to Eleanor as she is immune."
Eleanor got up from her seat next to Jimmy on one of the logs and took her marshmallow and ate it.

"Spider"
Jimmy and Tabitha still didn't have a marshmallow. While Chris picked up the final marshmallow Tabitha looked quite nervous while Jimmy looked calm and collected.
"Jimmy … Tabitha. This is the final marshmallow of the night." Said Chris dramatically. "Both of you have come a long way in this contest and battled hard for the million dollar prize … but for one of you that prize is about to escape you. The final marshmallow of the night goes to…

Tabitha."
Tabitha sighed in great relief as she got up relief and took her marshmallow. #
"No!" Yelled Eleanor in shock. "How could Jimmy be voted out?" Asked Eleanor in despair.
"Sorry Eleanor … not! Haha!" Laughed Chris sadistically. "But Jimmy got more votes than Tabitha did. So it's time for Jimmy to walk the dock of shame."
"Don't worry about it guys; only one of us can win right? It just seems like it wasn't supposed to be me." Said Jimmy in acceptance of his loss. "Take care everyone."
"We'll miss you *cough* Jimmy." Said Spider as he held his hand out for a shake. "Especially since I'm now *cough* the only guy left. Keheheh!"
Jimmy shook Spider hand followed by Lavender and Tabitha.
"See you around Jimmy; tell Barney I miss him." Smiled Lavender.
"Will do." Promised Jimmy.
"You're a really nice guy Jimmy; congratulations on getting as far as you did." Said Tabitha.
"Thanks Tabitha.
Jimmy turned to Eleanor who looked very upset and sad.
"I'll miss you most of all Eleanor." Said Jimmy as he shook hands with Eleanor. "You were always my best friend here."
Jimmy looked like he was going to say something else but he lost his nerve.
"See you later everyone." Said Jimmy in farewell as he walked to the dock of shame.
Confessional: Once a Polly-Anna ... always a Polly-Anna.
Tabitha: That was a close one; I don't know how he got voted off … but as long as I'm still in the game it doesn't matter. Twenty two down, only three more to go.
"I can't believe it." Whispered Eleanor softly as she watched Jimmy walk towards the dock of shame. "Why Jimmy? Why did he have to go?"
"I'm sorry that you lost your friend Eleanor." Said Lavender apologetically.
"Oh it's ok … but I'm really going to miss that boy." Said Eleanor with a sad sniff.
Spider thought for a moment; judging by the look on Eleanor's face and the tone of her voice … it seemed to him that she had a crush on Jimmy. Spider instantly knew how he could offer some help.
"He's not gone yet Eleanor; if *cough* you run quickly you might be able to *cough* give him a proper goodbye." Said Spider soothingly.
"You're right Spider; see you later!" Said Eleanor as she quickly ran full speed towards the dock of shame.
Lavender and Spider watched Eleanor run after Jimmy and exchanged a glance.
"She likes him doesn't she?" Asked Lavender with a smile.
"I think *cough* she does." Nodded Spider happily.
"I wish the best for Eleanor; I'm going to follow Tabitha's lead and go to bed." Yawned Lavender.
"Me too." Agreed Spider.
Confessional: Can you feel the love about to happen tonight?
Lavender: So many of us have found love in this contest. Spider misses Quana and I miss Barney … It's only been a few days but it feels like an eternity.
Jimmy calmly walked the dock of shame with his hands in his pockets and his head held high. Fifth place out of twenty six was pretty good … but it had to end sooner or later and Jimmy felt that he had done the right thing. He was about to board the boat of losers when he heard footsteps running after him.
"Jimmy! Wait a second!" Called Eleanor as she ran up to Jimmy.
"Hi Eleanor." Smiled Jimmy as he turned to his crush. "Good job on making it to the final four."
"Thanks … but it won't be even nearly as much fun without you." Said Eleanor sadly. "I don't know how you could have gotten voted off! You deserved to win!"
"Thanks Eleanor … but I'm not so sure about that." Mumbled Jimmy.
"What do you mean?" Asked Eleanor.
"Well … I cheated." Said Jimmy in shame. Yesterday you were supposed to have been voted off … but I switched the votes to keep you in and get Kasimar kicked off. I realize that because of that I'm just as much a cheater as Wallace … you and the others have got so far fairly … it wouldn't be right if I won because I cheated."
"Jimmy…" Said Eleanor softly. "You mean … you voted for yourself?"
"It was the right thing to do." Replied Jimmy. "But I'll be rooting for you!"
"I don't want you to go … you're my best friend." Sniffled Eleanor.
"Likewise." Nodded Jimmy. "But you still have a chance at the money; don't let that chance pass you by."
"You cheated and sacrificed your chance at the money … just for me?" Said Eleanor in a very touched voice. "That is the nicest thing anybody has ever done for me! I'm really going to miss you."
"I … I'll miss you as well." Whispered Jimmy.
Jimmy and Eleanor stared into each others eyes for a few seconds; Jimmy looked away and seemed to be plucking up his courage.
"Eleanor … there's something I'd like to tell you; something even more important than candy." Said Jimmy nervously.
"What is it?" Asked Eleanor.
"Well … err … we've known each other for twenty five days and we've been best friends through all of it." Began Jimmy. "Err … I just … err."
"Take your time." Said Eleanor while smiling her sweet smile.
"I knew I should have rehearsed this before I said it." Sighed Jimmy before he looked into Eleanor's sapphire blue eyes. "Eleanor; what I'm trying, and failing, to tell you … err … is … is that I love you."
"…Jimmy." Said Eleanor while her heart began to do back flips.
"I know we're both young and not even teenagers yet … but I really like you." Blushed Jimmy. "I'd just like to ask you one thing and I'll more than understand if you say on … just don't laugh … will you be my girlfriend?"
Eleanor blinked a few times as tears of happiness appeared in her eyes.
"Jimmy … I know that you like me; when you kissed me on the cheek last night I wasn't actually asleep." Said Eleanor shyly. "And you know … I think, despite how young we are, I love you too and I'd really like to be your girlfriend."
Jimmy and Eleanor looked at each other for a moment before they leaned in and shared a sweet tender kiss; Eleanor popped her foot and after a few seconds they pulled away.
"I'll be rooting for you Eleanor." Said Jimmy to his girlfriend. "Win or lose I'll still cheer you on till the end."
Jimmy climbed aboard the boat of losers which started up and sped away into the night; Eleanor waved until the boat was out of sight. With a heavy heart and a big smile Eleanor headed back to camp with a spring in her step.
Jimmy looked out at the waves; he may not have won the million but he thought that Eleanor's friendship and love was worth far more than any amount of money.
"You can thank me anytime you want." Said Wallace as he walked up beside Jimmy.
"Why? Aren't you evil?" Asked Jimmy suspiciously.
"I allowed Eleanor to beat me so that she would win immunity." Explained Wallace. "What Kasimar did sickened me … and I wanted to give Eleanor some compensation."
"I thought you were evil." Smiled Jimmy.
"Just because I'm a bad guy it doesn't mean I'm a bad guy." Smirked Wallace.
Chris stood on the dock of shame and made grand gestures with his arms.
"And another one bites the dust. Jimmy is gone and Tabitha has scraped by. Only four campers are left now, only three challenges to go! Who will be the next person to walk the dock of shame? Will the next challenge be intense? Will Lavender ever die? And will I get any more godlike? Find out next time on Total Drama Letterz!"

And Jimmy is gone. It's a shame really; but it's how it was meant to be. I think Jimmy was very likable and he was intended as one of the main protagonists. He may not have won the million … but he defeated Kasimar and won Eleanor's heart and that is worth something right?
