Chapter 3 is up. I have gotten 7 reviews as of Independence day, but this will be posted later. I have received a couple suggestions for Simpson guests, but I didn't want to use them. Therefore, I put them in an add-on. Read the second side-story-ish add-on "selecting a springfieldian" to see how a Simpson guest is chosen. It also has a hilarious "peanuts" reference, with a connection to something in chapter 2. Congrats to Meowth, who correctly stated the invisible friend Clive is from Garfield comics. I hope Meowth didn't tell anyone who got voted off this episode. I got no e-mails about the invisible friend Jib (not Jim, I misspelled it) yet or the mysterious crystal subplot. I realize that I did not have a voting list after episode 2, I did it so it can be discussed in this episode and you will be more surprised (and because I didn't do it, I got D Marco's thoughts on what happened). Read and REVIEW. One more thing, I noticed the italics have been messed up and been erased sometimes, so an asterisk will be placed before every interview.

(David is sitting at evetee beach to do his introduction)
After a tough night for the Japanese and more importantly, me, Willis was voted off, after an 8-way tie that needed an immunity challenge to be settled. Of course this leaves us with 2 problems. One, who did Ken, Duplica, and Willis vote for? And two, this tribal tie could happen again. That's why I will personally have a talk with the Japanese (walks off screen) That's your cue to follow me with the camera stupid.
(The Japanese await David's arrival)
Sora: Hi David.
Duplica: We've been expecting you.
David: How'd you know I was coming?
Ken: The plot device told us.
(A robot pops up on screen)
Plot device: Hello. (the plot device pops off screen)
David: Wonderful machines, those plot devices. No author should be without one. So by one at "Les is more store of everything" in aisle 6,890,456.
(Receives 7 confused stares)
David: Who do you think sponsors this? Anyways, I want to make sure this tie never happens again, so you are going to form alliances ASAP.
(David walks away)
Todd: Why don't we start by telling each other who we voted for and why. I'll start. I voted for Duplica because…
Cody: The readers don't want to hear that. They want to here from the people who didn't say who they voted for last time.
Richie: But we still don't know.
Cody: But after those people explain theirs, the rest will explain why they voted for someone that the readers already know about. Meanwhile, the camera will be focused on the Americans to keep the readers entertained.
Richie: Oh, OK.
Cody: Now who didn't show who they voted for last time.
(Ken and Duplica raise their hands)
Cody: Okay, Ken who did you vote for, I thought we were gonna vote together.
Ken: Me too, I voted for Todd.
Cody: I thought we were supposed to vote for Misty.
Todd and Misty: Why would you want to vote for us?
Ken: With today's technology, you can see the flashback that explains everything.
(Flashback to Cody and Ken talking alone)
Cody: So who should we vote for that's not a digidestined.
Ken: Maybe Todd. We're a good team, but I think he's doing the least work.
Cody: But Misty has been on this show many times before, she knows what she's doing. She'll surely beat us all if we don't vote her off.
Ken: Hmmm, you have a point. Well, we have to choose between voting for a weak link that may stop us from surviving and winning challenges, or a strong link that is a potential threat to our existence in the outback. I think we both know which should be voted off this early in the game.
Cody: Yeah, you're right, so that's how we'll vote.
(End flashback)
Ken: In the early rounds, you want the strong links to help you win challenges Cody. Strong links are voted off during the merge, when it's every man for himself.
Cody: Really? I guess I don't know that much a bout tribal council strategy.
Richie: Hey, I understand.
Todd: Some of us have never been on this show before.
Ken: I forgive you Cody.
*Ken: I completely understand Cody's error. He's the
youngest kid in our tribe, and he's never been on this show. It's very
reasonable for him to mess up a little in strategy.
Cody: Duplica, who did you vote for?
Duplica: Well, I voted for you.
Cody: Why?
Duplica: It was from something Sora told me. Let her tell you what it was.
Sora: I don't like to vote off my teammates, but if I have to, I'd vote for the quiet ones. Tracey was like that, and he was a devious player and a backstabber.
Duplica: Well, she voted for Richie, but I didn't think he was like that. I noticed how Cody was alone a lot and away from the rest of us, and I voted for him.
Cody: I understand. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion.
Misty: So that means Willis must have voted for Sora. But why?
Sora: I guess it's one of those things we won't find out for a while.
Todd: So now the rest of us will talk about who they voted for and the cameramen will watch the Americans.
(Bubbles and Reggie are sitting in the water, being bored)
*Bubbles: I know I shouldn't be hanging out with Reggie a lot because she's trying to vote off one of my friends, but I'm sure she's a good friend to have and a nice person. She's only doing this because she's trying to win, which isn't a bad thing 'cause everyone is trying to win too.
Bubbles: Reggie?
Reggie: Yes?
Bubbles: You hate this game don't you?
Reggie: Well yeah. I only hate Bart because he never does anything and I'm just trying to be competitive and win. In other situations, me and Bart wouldn't be in this war at all.
Bubbles: Maybe you should talk with Bart and possibly solve your problems. In fact, we should have a tribal meeting like the Japanese are and discuss our everyday lives so we all learn more about each other.
Reggie: How do you know the Japanese are having a tribal meeting?
Bubbles: The plot device told me.
Plot device: Hello. (plot device leaves)
(The Americans are all together)
Bart: I don't see what the point of this is, but lets start.
Reggie: THAT'S IT!!!
Bart: What?
Reggie: Right now you remind me of my brother, Otto.
Bart: What's he like?
Reggie: He's very annoying, he always does stupid things, and he never cares about anyone but himself.
Bart: (more serious) You really think I'm that stupid?
Reggie: Yes.
*Bart: Wow. I knew Reggie was against me and wanted me off the show, I didn't realize she actually hated me that much.
Bart: Well, if it makes you feel a little better, I'm truthfully, honestly sorry.
Reggie: I'm sorry too for making such a big deal over it.
(They shake hands)
Rob: (VO) Okay, freeze-frame it, right there.
(The hosts are watching this on tape)
Rob: David, what's wrong with these people, they keep forgiving each other, no arguments, nothing, it's demented.
David: Don't worry, the plot device told me something will happen soon.
Plot device: If you're not paying me for these appearances, I'm quitting and reversing the upcoming happening. Goodbye.
Zak: David, that's not good.
David: Oh, don't worry. Knowing that little subplot going on, something's bound to happen.
(At the American tribe Edd is talking)
Edd: And then there's Ed's sister Sarah, who seems to be more vicious than Bart's dad when his donuts are stolen.
Bubbles: Well, I guess there are some odd people living in the cul-de-sac. How about telling us about your friends Ace?
Ace: Well, my best friends are Pelswick Eggert and Goon Gunderson. Goon is the strong and stupid type, but he isn't a bully, he's a good friend. Pelswick is disabled and has to be in a wheelchair, yet he still manages to hang out with everyone else and have fun.
Bart: So it's a twist on the basic friendships of TV.
Ace: What do you mean?
Bart: Well, you have the leader, the brains of the group, and the strong, stupid one. But in your case the leader is disabled and the brains of the bunch, being you, isn't a total geek.
Ace: I take that as a compliment.
Bubbles: Okay, now how's life for you in the year 3000 Amy?
Amy: For one thing, it's much better than this year because of all the technology we have.
Emmitt: Well, from what you told us, I don't think the 31st century is as good as it seems. I think that 21st century rocks.
(Amy hears it echoing in her mind)
21st century rocks. 21st century rocks. Century rocks. Rocks. Ocks. Ks.
(We see Emmitt is saying the echo)
Edd: He 's echoing again.
Amy: Hmmm. Something sounds familiar.
(We see a pair of eyes hiding in the bushes. Ominous isn't it? Nope, because it's just Rob looking through binoculars. Zak is with him.)
Rob: Darn. The previews said there was going to be some romance.
Zak: Possibly Amy-Emmitt?
David: No one is that disturbed in life to think of that. It's probably on the Japanese side.
Zak: That seems more likely.
(We see a pair of eyes hiding in the bushes. Don't worry, these ones are ominous.)
Rob: Ever get the feeling that you're being watched?
Zak: Or that you're about to do a double take?
(The eyes vanish)
Rob: the feeling's gone now. Zak, go to the Japanese and find the couple. I'll be talking to Linus to stop an international romance crossover.
Zak: They are both Americans.
Rob: Oh yeah. Well I'm getting paid extra to do it, so that's what I'm going to do.
(Zak goes to the Japanese tribe talking to the camera)
Zak: This is where I reveal the surprising couple you've all been waiting for. You'll never guess that it's actually…(Shocked ) NOBODY.
(The Japanese, except for Todd are doing work separately)
Zak: Guys there has to be romance of some sort, it happens in every survivor fic.
Ken: David must not be good at writing romance stuff.
Zak: Well, I'll think of something. How about "Ken-sumi"?
(Ken and Misty look at each other and walk to opposite sides of the camp)
Zak: O-kay then, how about "Rich-ora"?
(Richie and Sora look at each other)
Richie: I have to go.
Sora: Me too.
(They leave the camp on opposite sides)
Zak: "Dupliori"?
(Duplica and Cody run away from each other screaming)
Zak: Oops.
Misty: (Pulling out her mallet) You scared half our tribe members.
Ken: (Pulling out his Digimon Emperor whip) Now you're gonna pay.
Zak: How'd you get the whip?
Ken: Luxury item.
Zak: Well, heh-heh, I have to prepare for the reward challenge. Bye.
(Misty and Ken chase after him. Duplica, Sora, Richie, and Cody are still out of the camp. Todd comes)
Todd: Hey, guess what? I made a spear and went hunting, and I caught a pig. Now we can eat good food. Uh, where is everyone?
(This could be an interview with Todd, but since he's the only one here it would be pointless. I'd have to make an asterisk AND press the italics button. Why should I do all that work?)
Todd: Ken said I was doing the least work, so I decided to catch a pig for the tribe to lose his and others' vote. I did and took 7 pictures of it to prove it. Now I'll cook it and when everyone gets back from wherever they are, we'll have a feast.
(A half-hour later the pig is ready to be eaten but nobody has come back yet. Todd is sitting near the water with the cooked pig waiting.)
Todd: Gee, I'm getting a little hungry. I guess eating one rib couldn't hurt.
(He picks up the rib. Quick cut to him holding the rib 10 minutes later, except it is the only one left.)
Todd: Okay Todd, don't panic. Tell them it was all eaten by piranhas, they'll believe that.
(A piranha pops up and eats the last rib) D'oh. Okay I'll just bury the bones, no-one will ever know I caught a pig.
(The Japanese all come back)
Todd: Oh my God, I mean hi, where were you?
Misty: Oh just trying to kill Zak for implying anime couples so disturbing he must have taken the names from some robot who has no emotions whatsoever.
Plot device: It wasn't me.
Ken: Yeah, we comforted the others enough for them to come back.
Sora: He said Duplica liked Cody, they almost had heart attacks.
Ken: But the piranhas didn't eat him, I wonder why they weren't hungry.
Todd: (Nervous) Oh, I saw one eating a pig… I mean um, capybara.
Ken: Those live in the amazon.
Todd: Did I say capybara, I meant armadillo.
(Cody stares at him)
Misty: Are you hiding something.
Todd: No.
Misty: Where's the pig you were going to catch.
Todd: It, um, ran away before I could catch it.
Richie: Did you get a picture of it?
Todd: Well, I…THE PICTURES. OH NO. I, uh left my camera on a tree stump, I gotta go get it.
(To himself) Well, all I have to do is get my camera and tear up the photos, then no one will know I ate the pig.
(Cut to the camera with the photos. The photos turn crystal and vanish, reappearing in the shelter in the corner. Todd notices the photos are gone)
Todd: This won't end well.
American Tribe Day 8 (It's night, but technically, it's day 8)
(The Americans are sleeping when a laser beam hits their shelter. It stays up and the Americans wake up to see they aren't dead.)
Emmitt: That glue is strong.
Amy: That's it. I'm curious as to why Emmitt sounds so damn familiar even though I've never heard of him before in my life and I MUST FIND OUT WHY!!!
Reggie: Shouldn't you be more curious as to why a non-crystal laser beam burned our shelter and more importantly where it came from?
Amy: Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the readers care more about the former curiosity than the guy who fired a ray gun at us.
Ace: In the morning, I am going to find and kill the person who almost destroyed the shelter I worked on.
Voice: No you woooon't.
Ace: Yes I will.
Voice: No you woooon't.
Ace: No I won't.
Voice: Yes you wiiiiillll, Damn it. That only happens in bugs bunny cartoons.
Ace: No it doesn't.
Voice: Yes it dooooes.
Ace: No it doesn't.
(I think you can guess what happens next, so it won't be shown. Let's skip to the Americans getting their reward challenge note.)
Bubbles: (reading) Sorry about the laser incidents
The alien guest host came, what a coincidence.
He promises that it won't happen again this year
Oh yeah, and come to evetee beach at noon to win some fishing gear.
Emmitt: Aliens? I KNEW IT!!! The aliens have come, I knew they were real, they're gonna suck out our brains with bendy-straws. Hellllp.
Bart: Aliens or not, you're coming Emmitt. We're not losing a challenge because of your
fear of aliens.
(At noon, Zak, The Japanese and Kang are at evetee beach waiting for the Americans)
Author's note: If you don't know who Kang is, read side-story –ish add-on 2.
Zak: If they don't come in 5 minutes, you Japanese win the challenge Okay?
Richie: I don't think we have a problem with that.
(4 minutes 59.99 seconds later)
Reggie: We're finally here.
Bubbles: Can you believe we had to drag Emmitt here because he's afraid of that alien?
Zak: If you're late one more time, you lose the challenge Americans, and aren't you surprised in the least bit about an alien with a laser gun?
Sora: The chapter summary did say this would go beyond the brink of reality, so I'm not surprised at all.
Ace: Wait, you're the one who almost destroyed our shelter?
Kang: You can't prove that.
Ace: Yes I can.
Kang: No you caaaan't
Ace: Yes I can.
Kang: No you caaaan't.
Ace: I guess I was wrong.
Kang: No you werrrren't. D'oh. Umm…. Foolish earthling. Do not anger me or I will intermazify you into vigintillions of subatomic particles. (After a few seconds of silence)
Zak: You have no idea what you just said, did you? How about we start the challenge now. The rules are simple. One person from each tribe must hold up a log. Every 10 seconds, 10 pounds of water will be placed on that log. First one to drop the log or fall loses. Japanese, who do you pick.
(After some thought, they decide on Ken)
Zak: Americans?
Americans: Bubbles.
Zak: I should've seen that one coming. Luckily, David did, so Bubbles must start out by holding a barbell with, literally, a ton of weights on it, instead of a log, to make it fair.
Remember, the winner gets fishing gear and a special prize from Kang. Start now.
(There really isn't much to explain about what happens. When Ken is holding 200 pounds and Bubbles is holding 2,200 pounds, Bubbles collapses.)
Zak: Both of you did well, but the Japanese win.
(While they celebrate, Zak hands over the fishing gear to Ken, who falls onto the ground and stays there)
Ken: I can't feel my arms. I think I'm paralyzed.
(You get one guess as to what happens next. If you really don't know, I feel sorry for you.)
Ken: That crystal stuff is a miracle.
Kang: Japanese, here is your prize from me.
Todd: A spaceship?
Duplica: A ray gun?
Cody: An ACME Rocket?
Kang: Coupons for free use of "cosmic condiments" at Kang's hot dog stand, when you buy a hot dog or French fry.
Richie: Um, thank you.
(Amy, who was walking away, stops. A light bulb goes on in her head.)
Amy: THAT'S IT. I figured it out. I must reveal the truth. The world must know.
(She runs away)
Kang: Wow. I get free advertising. Sweet.
Sora: I don't think she was talking about you.
Kang: Yes she waaaaas.
Daffy duck: That joke is only funny the first 2 times, you know.
Zak: Where did you come from.
(Meanwhile, at the American tribe)
Amy: I suppose you're all wondering why I called you all here.
Edd: Don't we live here now?
Amy: The point is that something about Emmitt has been seriously annoying me, and I couldn't figure it out until Kang gave those free coupons.
Bart: Is Emmitt a hot dog vendor?
Emmitt: OH NO!! I'm an alien hot dog vendor. The aliens are controlling me. Then they will suck out my brains with bendy straws.
Reggie: Have you ever thought of being a guest star on the X-files? You could be a patient at a mental hospital who was once abducted by aliens and went insane ever since.
Amy: No, see, what I realized is…
(Meanwhile, at the exact same place and time)
Amy: EMMITT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE PLANET EXPRESS DELIVERY BOY PHILIP J. FRY!!!
Emmitt: Phillip who-what?
Amy: Fry, the main character on my show.
Bubbles: Wow, I never would have thought that.
Ace: David is making crossovers of any and every kind it seems.
Emmitt: So the same guy does the voice of me and Fry on our shows?
Amy: Yes.
Emmitt: Oh yeah. So it's like when Frankie Muniz voiced a minor character on "the fairly oddparents" and guest voiced on the Simpsons.
Bart: Frankie who-what?
Edd: Isn't it weird how this thing we've made such a big deal over all boils down to one paragraph of writing that will probably never be mentioned again.
Bart: Um…No?
*Edd: According to what I've seen happen this past week,
Emmitt seems to be the ideal candidate to be voted off. He hasn't been doing as
much as the others, and he's a very strange kid. This discussion made him sound
even stranger.
(At the Japanese tribe, Todd is looking for the photos)
Todd: Okay, I have 2 minutes until the Japanese come back from fishing. I must find that last photo and destroy it. (He sees it in Misty's part of the shelter) There it is. Victory is mine. Nothing can stop me except… (Suddenly, a barrier blocks him from reaching the photo) a…crystal…subplot. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Misty: What's wrong Todd?
Todd: Oh I just lost a picture of mine. I needed it really badly.
Misty: Oh, the one of the pig you caught and ate all by yourself that none of us knew about?
Todd: Yeah. It's a good thing you didn't know or you'd kill me. (Realizes) This really won't end well.
(Since this is rated PG, we can't show the rest of Day 8.)
David: Hi. I guess there was some weird stuff going on what with the discovery about Emmitt and Todd getting brutally murdered.
Bubbles: Oh my god, they killed Todd.
Bart: You bastards. Hey Bubbles, what you said rhymed.
David: So what, I'm a better poet than all of you.
Cody: You can't prove that.
Todd: Hey, I didn't really die.
Misty: That's right but you should have. And David is a good poet. Did you see the tree mail. He rhymed something with pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis and it was related to the immunity challenge.
David: Speaking of which, you must run through a pretty easy obstacle course. So we make it harder by linking you all together. No flying for Bubbles. (5 minutes later, everyone is ready) Go.
(For the first half, Japanese is winning, because the Americans keep falling and stuff. The Japanese are almost there, when Bubbles decides to take the lead instead of helping people who fell and runs really fast practically dragging everyone else. Misty gets in Todd's way and Todd falls. The Americans catch up because of this and win!)
David: Americans win once again. Japanese, you are the weakest link, so you vote.
Americans keep the idol. Hey where's kang, he should be here.
Kang: (VO) The blue light. I see blue light. Helllp. The crystal. HELLP
David: That is really getting out of hand. Just go to tribal at night Japanese.
Duplica: It is night.
David: Then let's go!
(Later at tribal council)
David: Before you vote, who do you think is going today?
Ken: Todd, because he caught a pig and didn't share it with anyone.
David: Makes sense. Now go vote!
(Shot of Ken voting TODD)
Ken: I've already explained why I'm doing this, it's a good reason.
(Shot of Misty and Sora voting. Shot of Duplica voting MISTY)
Duplica: She seems to hate Todd a lot. It looked like she purposely made Todd trip in the challenge just so she could have the chance to vote him off.
(Shot of Richie voting MISTY)
Richie: Truthfully, I wanted to vote for you from the beginning, because you had the potential to win. Since Todd will probably also vote for you, now seems like the best time.
(Shot of Todd voting. Shot of Cody putting his vote in the voting urn. We can't see it)
Cody: It was a tough decision, but this is probably the best choice.
David: I'll count the votes. First vote Misty. Second vote Todd. Next vote is for…Misty.
And another one for Misty. (Misty is scared) Then Todd. That makes 3 for Misty, 2 for Todd. Next vote is for Todd. And the final vote…Misty. Misty, bring up your torch.
(Misty reluctantly does) The tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go. Well I don't think anyone expected that. Things are definitely changing. This game's gonna get much harder now.
(4)Misty: Duplica, Richie, Sora, Todd
(3)Todd: Cody, Ken, Misty
As of now, I don't know much about episode 4. I'll figure it out eventually.
As always Read and REVIEW. E-mail me with any ideas about the crystal subplot or about any place references came from. Suggestions for future episodes are nice too. After episode 7 I will reveal the fic I plan to write after this that continues the crystal subplot. It is a humor fic with digimon characters (possibly action/adventure also). In it the crystal subplot origin will be revealed. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
