POKE-VIVOR

Chapter 3 – Where's there's a mind, there's a survivor…

Prying mans eyes (or in this case, woman's) are the focus for someone's survival this episode. So, what happens?

Also, with the mixed votes that were on Majori last time, someone better explain themselves. This also marks the beginning of the usual Brock vs. Tracey chapter that almost all these seem to have…hey, I had to put a feud other than Misty/Jessie and Giselle/anyone else in the game hadn't I?

Anyway, best be off, charmed I'm sure…blah, blah…enough with the posh British stuff, let's get to the mindless backstabbing!

* * * *

(A late Tribal Council night shows Tom looking on at Majori's aftermath, where they kicked off the Police Officer Jenny Collette first…)

Tom: It was supposed to be Jessie, it was…but someone didn't read the script. In fact, after 4 different people got voted on, I think a lot of people didn't read the script! However, it's results that count and the three votes for Jenny from Team Rocket and Tracey of all people sent the officer to her doom…and I think you'll be interested to see what happened immediately after Tribal Council…

MAJORI TRIBE – CIRCA. 5 MINUTES AFTER DAY 6'S TRIBAL COUNCIL

Ash: Well, I'm surprised, yet I'm not surprised, if you understand.

Misty: I guess, but Brock didn't vote for Jessie…for whatever reason, and Tracey didn't either.

Ash: (sarcastic) Gee, what gave you that idea?

(The reason is that Brock and Tracey are in a major argument…)

Brock: I expected it from Team Rocket, but you? You voted Jenny off!

Tracey: Excuse me you love struck twit, but if you don't remember, both your 'angels' voted against you!

Brock: I forgive them, I'm still here! Jenny isn't!

Tracey: She was thinking this was a boot camp not a resort!

(Shot to the back where Joy isn't taking part in this)

Joy: It's sad that Jenny had to go, but to be honest, I hated making that vote for Brock last night, I'm glad it didn't result in anything, at the cost of losing a friend, I'll hopefully make a good chance to make some new ones.

(Jessie and James, as you can expect, are ecstatic)

James: I never thought of all people, the watcher twerp and the breeder twerp saved our behinds!

Jessie: What do you mean our behinds? I was having a heart attack, I expected the final vote to be for me…and yet…

Jessie/James: WE'RE INVINCIBLE!

Misty: (stern) Hey, get your invincible behinds up here…

Jessie/James: (scared of Misty of course) Yes ma'am!

Tom VO: As expected, Tribal Council has ended in a sour note, and they are going to feel that council hangover in the morning…

THEME SONG (supplied by D Marco)

[Let's do it!]

I want to be the very best

Like no-one ever was (No-one ever was)

The outwit is my real test

To Survive is my cause

My whole life was made for this

A time to test my skills;

I know I just can't wait

To Show the world…

I was born to be a winner [Enil]

Born to be a champion

Born to be a winner

Born to be the very best

[Po-ke-viv-or]

Born to be a winner…

Pokemon!

DAY 7 – 7.30AM

Tom VO: 7.30 in the morning, and the one member of the group which didn't say a word last night, explaining to Brock in the morning about her vote.

Joy: I'm sorry Brock, but Jenny felt that you guys were too strong, and I think she felt that the Rockets were going to vote for you as well, so I went along with it. I'm sorry…

Brock: Don't worry Nurse Joy…I'll forgive you…

(Suddenly, Brock clutches her hands)

Brock: (lovey duvey mode) …I'll forgive your heart, mind and soul! (suddenly gets hit from behind by Misty's bowl)

Misty: Mind this…

(But it's not just Joy's vote that people are wondering…)

Ash: Why didn't you vote for Jessie?

Brock: (sighs) A combination of feeling sorry for her, and male hormones. What else can I say?

Misty: You got a thing for Jessie?

Brock: (shakes his head) No! No! It's just that I felt it would be better if all the women remained on the island…

Ash: …ignoring the fact Jenny has gone…

(Brock goes into depression mode as Ash and Misty sigh)

Ash: Last night…was weird. Certainly not what I was expecting, but I think you have to expect the unexpected in this sort of game…

Misty: Jessie staying here after the first council was against the rules of logic…trust me, I'll grill Tom about that later…

* * * *

MINORI TRIBE – 9.00am

(The first true early sleep in has the group still in their unique camping situation, Giselle and Cassidy in their separate camps, with Rudi and Todd in one, and the other one in a round robin, with this time Duplica sleeping outside, with Casey and Richie in the camp…)

(Shot of Casey making the breakfast, Rudi 'supervising'.)

Casey: (humming the electabuzz song, I think they made a temporary ban of her singing during the camp…)

Rudi: Fire is going strong.

Casey: Good…we haven't won a reward challenge, I think we need anything we can get at the moment.

(Shot of Cassidy on the side of the camp, simply watching everything…)

Cassidy: I was born from a prestigious family. My work as a rocket brushed with my deals with being a thug. I worked with Jessie as a member of the Bridge Bike Gang, and sabotaged her leaving. I joined Team Rocket training as a way of escaping my life, and rose through the ranks. I joined with my partner Butch in the two way training which those pathetic punks did as well…and it wasn't long that we became the best in the business. So, just because we're evil, doesn't mean they have the right to shun me like this!

Giselle: Feeling left out without your duel bullying tactics?

Cassidy: Buzz off…

Giselle: My, aren't we in a good mood.

Cassidy: I don't need your pathetic attempts at sympathy. In fact, I don't even wonder why I have to even bother helping your team anyway, but I'm doing it just so I'm not going to go down swinging…and besides, the longer I survive, the longer I can stand here and laugh at you.

Giselle: Well, aren't we confident? Well…good luck to you, whatever little you have.

(Giselle goes away, as Cassidy drinks a bit of coconut milk)

Cassidy: Spoilt brat.

(Meanwhile, the 'Mole' trio are surrounding the fire)

Todd: Another bitch fight?

Casey: What, Giselle vs. her ego?

Richie: (chuckles) Close…just Giselle vs. Cassidy in round 216 of their wars of course.

(Rudi comes up with a shake of his head)

Rudi: No fish biting…

Casey: Are you sure?

Rudi: Hey, If I an experienced fisher and island native say there isn't any fish, there damn isn't an…

(up the beach, Duplica comes down with a bucket of water…)

Duplica: Hey guys, I got us a couple of fish along the way, I figured they move up north with the winds last night…

(Rudi rightfully collapses as the others smile…)

Todd: Kinda poetic when you think about it…

(Minori sit down to a late breakfast, as everyone, yes everyone, joins in for the meal. With the reward challenge for mid-day, they need every bit of energy they can get. Minori so far haven't won a reward yet…)

* * * *

MAJORI – 11.00am

Tom VO – Whatever problems certain members have in both tribes, for each challenge they have to…er…line!

(Chromus: DM, you didn't tell me he was an amateur!)

(D Marco: Now hang on…er…actually, forget it.)

Take 2:

Tom VO – Whatever problems certain members have in both tribes, for each challenge they have to forget them because they have to work together to win the rewards. The problem is…they always seem to forget that part…

(Shot of Ash and Misty in the ocean)

Misty: Ha, you'll never beat me in the water Ash Ketchum!

Ash: Hmmmph…one more time water maiden.

Misty: (smiles) Yes, yes, as many more times as you want, until you totally exhaust yourself for the reward challenge…

Ash: Ah, good point.

Misty: I guess you need a purification, Waterflower style!

(Misty dunks Ash' head in the water as Ash gasps, as he surfaces, Misty is laughing her head…and is surprised by Ash' counter attack, as the two are perhaps for the first time, actually enjoying their life on the island, and more so as youngsters.)

Misty: I think it's nice that we are here, it's like a true vacation, and Ash is really lightening up as well, he's forgetting about his journey, his quest, he's just being Ash now.

Ash: I'm amazed how well Misty and I are getting along, without any worries or journeys. It's a bit scary actually…but luckily, her arguments with Jessie shows that she hasn't been given a brain transplant…

(Shot of Ash getting a fist to the skull)

Ash: Oh…I said that loud…

Misty: I would kill you, but we have a reward challenge to win, after that…then I kill you. Got it?

Ash: (in pain) Got it.

(Meanwhile…)

(Shot of Joy just relaxing with her blue swimsuit on)

Joy: I never realised how peaceful things can be on my own. I'm away from the hustle of working around the Orange Islands, and just…well, it's great.

(There are two people spying…although one isn't really spying on her. Shot of Tracey in a tree, with his sketchbook…)

Tracey: With Jenny gone, this has gone from less being a boot camp back to the resort that I had planned to be on originally. I'm glad Joy understood why I did it…(sighs)…however, someone else seems to take my intentions the wrong way…Brock, you do realise this tree won't hold…

Brock: (also on the tree) I'm just protecting the watchful watcher from the eyes of the Nightingale. Any objections?

Tracey: (sighs) Whatever floats your boat big guy.

(Cue tree to fall…yep…)

Tracey/Brock: WAAAAAGGGGHHH!

(Shot as the two are entangled on a bush area, as Joy hears the commotion)

Joy: Oh my gosh, are you two alright?

Brock: (immediately gets up unhurt) Just checking snake watch miss.

Tracey: (also getting up quickly) And the hawks aren't circling…

Tracey/Brock: We're dismissed miss! (The two leave as Joy giggles)

Joy: Those two are such a laugh!

(The other 'odd couple' of Majori…no Tom, not Ash and Misty…are taking for them, a well deserved time out.)

Jessie: We've ditched the copper, so now all that remains are the twerps…

James: You do realise they still outnumber us…

Jessie: Oh yes, but you see…I have a cunning plan. (evil laugh)

(The wind blows)

James: Well?

Jessie: Well what?

James: What's this evil plan?

Jessie: (angry) How should I know? I'll tell you when I think of it!

(James facefaults)

* * * *

11.00AM

MINORI

Tom: Some of Minori start to warm up, whilst others start to lazy up with preparations for the reward challenge.

Rudi: What if it isn't a physical challenge?

Giselle: (doing a few stretches…and Rudi trying hard not to nosebleed…^_^…) Well, it helps to be prepared you know?

Rudi: I guess…(smiles)…hang on a sec.

(Rudi begins to do his own form of exercising, his Capoeria like dance movements, exercise…or attempts to impress Giselle…you decide…)

Giselle: Yeah…right…

(Meanwhile, Casey is trying her best now to make a fool of herself…)

Duplica: (sighs) It's not that hard, just follow your balance. Look, one more time…

(Duplica moves into a position, and does a cartwheel on the ground, first with hands…and then just to show off, does one without hands…)

Richie: (smiles) Is there anything you can't do?

Duplica: There is…(smiles)…it's just I can't think of anything right now.

(The two chuckle as Casey tries her attempt at a cartwheel…and lands on her butt…)

Casey: (for the record) Ouch…

Todd: (coming up) Hey, don't worry. Once you get a bit of practice in, I'm sure you can use your new movements to show Mikey…

(WHAP!)

(Shot of Todd as Casey's luxury item, a flag, seems to be a decent subsitute for her baeball bat)

Casey: Ecchi!

Richie: (sweatdropping) Did he deserve it?

Duplica: (sweatdropping) I'll with-hold my comments.

(Final shot this time of Cassidy, simply lazing about.)

Cassidy: I'm not going to do anything that any twerp does. If I'm on my own, so bet it. I'll do things my own way.

* * * *

Reward Challenge – The old ball under a cup game.

Reward – Egg baskets, both regular and sugary.

(Shot of the two tribes emerged. Cassidy is a bit angry that a member of Team Rocket from Majori wasn't eliminated. In fact, Jessie does the eyelid/tongue thing just to add insult to injury. Tom eventually gets a little agitated and just begins…)

Tom: If the rockets can stop their little ego war for the moment, we do have a reward challenge that has to be completed, so please…

(Finally, control is under away so Tom can be Inez and start explaining. Of course, Tom doesn't know who Inez is…but, hey, work with me…)

Tom: O.K, in front of you is the classic ball in a cup came. And with us, we have the first anime cameo for us, so if Solomon Moto can come up here for us please?

(Shot of Solomon Moto, the infamous Yugi Moto's grandfather, to help with this challenge)

Tom: This game is about eye co-ordination and also a little luck. Simply put, a ball is put under one cup. Solomon's quick game hands will move them about so hopefully you won't be able to see it easily. Each member of the tribe will make a guess and each time you get one right. Simply put, the team with the most points win the reward. If it goes to a tie, we'll simply have the winning players against each other and we'll carry on from here. Understand?

(Most people nod, and a few look blank…well, I mean Ash and James.)

Brock: Oh…this is horrid.

Ash: I know, this doesn't seem as easy as it looks…

Brock: That's not what I meant!

Ash: Huh?

Brock: I mean it's horrid that they didn't have that vixen Mai or that lovely Tea doing the challenge!

Tom: Guys…sweatdropping before a challenge is strictly forbidden in the rules…but I'll let you off this time cause I like you!

Misty: Oh boy…

* * * *

Tom: As fortunately, the teams are even, we don't need to cut any team to 6. So, we'll stick with 7 vs. 7. If you form a line please and we can begin…

FIRST ROUND – ASH vs. GISELLE

(Giselle first tries to put Ash off his mind by doing a flirtaous wink. Ash is distracted for a moment…but then Giselle remembers she also has to watch the cups. The two makes their guesses, both saying the middle cup. Solomon reveals…it's empty. It was in the left group.)

Score – Majori 0, Minori 0.

Giselle: Damn…strategy failed…probably should have gone against Brock instead…

Tom: If you're finished…

SECOND ROUND – MISTY vs. TODD

(For common sense, Rudi doesn't take this round. Todd has a very keen eye and guesses the middle cup. Misty guesses the right cup. The right cup however was the middle cup…)

Majori 0, Minori 1.

THIRD ROUND – JAMES vs. CASEY

(James gets the group back with the correct point on the left, but Casey also gets it correct.)

Majori 1, Minori 2

FOURTH ROUND – JESSIE vs. RUDI

(Jessie struggles and guesses left. Rudi guesses right. It's in the middle. D'oh!)

Majori 1, Minori 2

FIFTH ROUND – TRACEY vs. DUPLICA

(The watcher expertly watches the ball and gets it right…in the right cup. Duplica guesses wrong in the middle..)

Duplica: At least Richie knows what I can't do then…

Majori 2, Minori 2

SIXTH ROUND – JOY vs. RICHIE

(Joy and Richie both keep their cool and get it right…in the left cup.)

Majori 3, Minori 3.

(Final round – Brock vs. Cassidy)

Brock: Oh dear…

Solomon: In the right, in the left or in the middle…

Brock: Let's see…erm…I think in the middle…

Cassidy: Right.

(Solomon lifts the two cups up, as one of them does have the ball…)

(…the right one.)

(Immediately, Cassidy smirks as she of all people, has won the game for Minori. The group are in between delight and shock…before deciding on delight. A number of the group congratulate Cassidy, but she shrugs past them, not bothered…but the tiniest smile does make it on her face.)

(Majori simply sigh as Brock can't believe he just lost…)

* * * *

(Shot of Tom, in disbelief…)

Tom: Um…er…well…er…

Giselle: Hey we won, give us the prize!

(Solomon prods him with a walking stick, finally, hits a lucky pressure point as Tom snaps out of it…)

Tom: Oh, well congrats to Minori for a lucky win…and I suppose you'll want these.

(A hamper is brought out with 3 baskets)

Tom: In there are two baskets of eggs, and one basket of chocolate easter eggs of sugary goodness. Enjoy.

(The group are visibly drooling as the luck factor played for Minori today. Majori on the other hand, simply sigh in disappointment of a meal that simply this day, wasn't theirs...)

* * * *

MINOR TRIBE

Rudi: Meat and eggs tonight!

Casey: We still have to catch the meat you know?

Rudi: Oh.

(The group chuckles as they put the chocolate eggs in the tent for later, they need to eat them quickly before they melt, but the chicken eggs are about to be made for a delicious dinner…)

Richie: Fire's ready!

Rudi: Anybody wants a speciality in eggs? Scrambled, fried, poached?

Giselle: As long as it's edible I don't care.

Rudi: Don't care? Hmmm…I think I can manage that.

(Shot of Cassidy watching the group cook the eggs)

Cassidy: I'm still surprised that I did manage to go through that, and not only that, win us the challenge. I guess I was hungry as anybody, and at least, it gives people second thoughts of voting me off…

(Surprisingly though, Cassidy may be more right than she thinks…)

Casey: Giselle is still my top target. I'm hoping the people will see it my way because Cassidy isn't a threat anymore. Giselle is…plus she's a pain in the a…

(The eggs are cooking and the smell is literally making the group drool as Richie begins to serve the eggs with the rice. Only one fish caught by Todd is there for meat, but it's all flavour, when you're eating just rice, something different to add to the flavour will always be a welcome sight.)

Casey: Yum! (Begins to wolf it down)

Richie: (sweatdrops) The appetite of a champion…

Todd: …shame about her baseball team.

Casey: Do you want me to hit you?

(The group chuckles as a reward feast for kings is served. Cassidy as well is enjoying the meal, more so because she deserved it. Majori on the other hand, only have to blame bad luck for their defeat…however, 2 defeats now on the trot is bringing the team down a bit…)

* * * *

MAJORI – 1.00pm

(Shot of Jessie and James sat down, stomachs rumbling)

Jessie: When you get down to it, plain old rice is actually a luxury meal for us…

James: …I know Jessie, but then why are our stomachs still so empty?

(Shot of Joy shaking her head)

Joy: I think Team Rocket take their role here for granted. They escaped last night, and today, Jessie was complaining about the food serving of rice. We didn't have time to catch any fish, everyone else, even James was fine…and Misty almost attacked her if Brock and Tracey hadn't stopped it.

(Shot of Misty swimming on her own, the three other boys wisely staying out of her way…)

Misty: Jessie is still the most arrogant blockhead that I know! I can't believe she would be complaining…she has no right about food here, we get what we find and we learn to like it! If Miss Prissy doesn't, she's on a one way ticket out of here!

(The three boys are certainly in an interesting reaction to the cat-fight…)

Ash: It's just a Misty and Jessie thing, just the usual. By tomorrow, they'll be O.K…until the next time anyway.

Brock: Why is it you know something is going to explode when Team Rocket is around? But it's not themselves blasting off, it's their tempers and egos…

Tracey: Maybe they were hoping for perfect victories and a lot of luck because we were here…the fact that they survived last night…

Brock: …thanks to you…

Tracey: (ignoring Brock) …was a sign that they could go on and do something productive with this. No such luck, and they're back to the Rockets we all know and hate.

Joy: (off screen) Hey, I've got the water!

Tracey: Hey Joy! Do you mind…

(Before Tracey can ask anything, Brock zooms in to help Joy with one of the buckets of water…although she is more than capable carrying both…)

Brock: Miss Mills, it is my pleasure to assist you in this task.

Joy: (giggles) Why thank you Brock!

Ash: My, my…this is getting interesting. Huh, why are you looking like that Tracey?

Tracey: (sighs) You'll get it someday Ash, someday…

* * * *

MINORI – 3.00pm

(The group have long since finished a good dinner, and have enjoyed desert…if Casey and Duplica matching chocolate faces are a good sign…)

Duplica: When it comes to chocolate, I'm afraid it's a huge weakness for me, I turn into a Swinub!

Casey: At last, it's great to know someone who gets in a mess when they eat this heavenly stuff as well!

(The two high five as they go to wash up their faces. Giselle shakes her head)

Giselle: Immature, those girls will never cross the world to adulthood in their state…

Richie: (interrupting) Really? You seemed to be in a hurry to wolf down that chocolate and then head to the ocean as well?

(Giselle glares at him as Richie backs off.)

Richie: Oh boy…I think I'm beginning to understand what Casey is on about with her…(sighs)

Richie: It's always on your mind, immunity. Tomorrow, we have to win again to make sure we get another 3 days on the island. However, in the case of certain people, you sometimes wish you want to lose…but the competitiveness is what drives you on.

(Shot of Rudi and Todd in the sea)

Todd: …well, well. So you're after Giselle and yet you have a crush on Misty?

Rudi: I don't have a crush on Giselle! She's just someone I need to look out for!

Todd: I see…she needs all the luck on the world.

Rudi: Well, think about it! It's us two vs. you three in that mole group. This leaves Cassidy and Duplica as swing votes and considering how much Giselle hates Cassidy's guts and the way Duplica hangs around Casey, I don't think we'll be winning her vote any time soon.

Todd: Good point. However, are you sure Giselle is in that much danger? I mean, you could be for all I know…

Todd: Being the mole before has some good points, I've become good in trying to find information out…

Rudi: Don't push your luck.

Todd: Besides, I thought Cassidy would be a bigger threat…

Rudi: (shakes his head) Cassidy is harmless now. Without Butch, she can't do much on her own and this group knows it. So…

Cassidy: (swimming up to them) Knows what?

(Needless to say, the sea is getting the 'urinator' applied as Todd and Rudi back off)

Cassidy: I'm not stupid. I could see their talk, and I now know that Giselle is more in the hot seat than I am. All I have to do is to make sure I don't tread on anyone's toes, and I should be safe.

(Is that right? Find out after this break!)

SNAP! (Owwwwwww! My arm!)

(O.K, breaks' over!)

* * * *

Tom VO: With Majori in a hump for the moment, they resolve to win tomorrow no matter what…

(Shot of Jessie and Misty with lightning between their eyes…)

Tom VO: …even if it does mean 'working together'…

James: Oh boy…I know when it comes to working working with the twerps, we are never always in the best state of minds…but it isn't like we have much of a choice! I don't think we'll get lucky a second time…

Ash: The bonds are strong…it's a shame they are strong with hate…

(James taps Ash on the shoulder)

Ash: Huh, what?

(James points over at Tracey and Brock, sharpening their eyes at each other as Joy comes over)

Joy: What's wrong with those two?

James: Well, if I was to make an educational guess, I'd say…

Ash: (covers his mouth) Don't worry Joy, we'll sort this out…(mutters) oh boy, I never expected it to be like this…

* * * *

Tom VO: It's light out for Minori, as the immunity challenge tomorrow lingers slightly, but at least most of the group is civil…geez, I never thought this group would be the sane bunch…

Casey: (yawns) Just tell him not to be too late…

Richie: Either she really trusts me or I'm not a threat…that, or maybe Mikey would set his eevee to chew my fingers off…

Duplica: (washing up, shot of the two washing up) Oh, Richie…you're not like that and you know that…

Richie: (blushes) You know, maybe that's another reason to maybe we should lose the game tomorrow, if we vote someone off, one of us can now have a tent free…

Duplica: Heh. You've got an evil mind inside that sweet person of you…

Richie: Er…no! Not like that, it's just…

Duplica: …and I like it!

(collapse)

Duplica: Hey, get up, we've got to finish this off…(they start to wash again, but just as Duplica puts her hand to reach a plate, she stops and blushes)

Richie: Er…emm…sorry…(Richie runs away as Duplica looks on…)

Duplica: It was just…(sighs)…oh boy, this was the last thing I expected…

* * * *

DAY 9 – 8.00am

MAJORI

Tom VO: Morning to all the sleepy heads of our poke-pals. Today marks the third immunity challenge, and one that no-body wants to lose…

Ash: It's nice to know that you're with us Joy….well, if no-one else is.

(Ash takes a gander at the two wars, Team Rocket vs. Misty, and Brock and Tracey)

Joy: I don't see what's going on between those two.

Ash: Well, the two don't know each other too well…

Joy: Maybe a conflict of interests?

Ash: I wouldn't be too surprised.

Tom VO: Shame Joy doesn't know that the interest they are conflicting over is in fact her…

James: This is getting us nowhere…(James drags both Misty and Jessie by the ear, the two still glaring at each other)

James: This sounds ridiculous, but I seem to be the only true grown up at the moment here!

(Shot of Brock making the rice)

Brock: We're going to go light on the food, especially if it is a physical challenge, we don't need to be sick…

(Tracey on the other hand, has other theories)

Tracey: Brock thinks because he can cook, he has all control over the fire and what needs to be done. Sure, eating light may be smart, but most of us are hungry all the time here, so we need every bit of food we can. I know we need to ration, but Brock I think needs to know the difference between rationing and 'not enough'…

(The group feed on rice, and a bit of rat that James caught. James of course, considers anything here a 'delicacy.' Actually, considering the lack of food Majori are having, anything may be a delicacy…)

Tracey: They are going to be fit and ready you know?

Ash: With the eggs they got, I'm sure they've got a good breakfast.

Misty: No matter…we are going to win, whether they like it or not, right?

Joy: Of course! Go for the glory!

Jessie: Besides, no minor twerps are going to steal Team Rocket's glory…

Misty: Although I'd probably like to swap one of them for you of course Jess…

Jessie: What was that?

Brock/James: Not again…

Tracey: Guys, stop this! We need to be a team not a war, come on, hands in, unity.

(Tracey puts his hand in. Ash and Joy quickly follow, with Brock more hesitant. Misty next and then James. Finally, with a sigh, Jessie puts her hand in)

Jessie: Only because I want to win this…

Tracey: That's as good a reason as any Jessie. So come on, let's finish our breakfast and get prepared…

* * * *

MINORI TRIBE – 8.15am

Tom VO: Early morning, and the heir to the master throne (Richie) is not his usual leading self…

(Shot of the group as they are eating breakfast. The usual things are happening, Todd teasing Casey…Casey getting some early batting practice, and Rudi mixing trying to flirt with Giselle and make sure Giselle and Cassidy don't kill each other. However, Richie is purposely trying to avoid Duplica's gaze, and the ditto master hasn't made this gone unnoticed…)

Casey: …I'm going to return you to the earth mole!

Todd: Uh oh…she's mad…not good…

(The two play their game of Meowth and Rattata, as the others either smile or not bothered. Giselle's smirk in Cassidy's direction is seen as a challenge for the upcoming challenge. Rudi goes up to wash up, Richie immediately gets up to help…)

Duplica: Richie…

(Richie ignores her as he rushes to catch up with the islander. However, this note of tension hasn't gone unnoticed by one other member of the island…)

Giselle: I was busy trying to psyche Cassidy out when I noticed that Richie and Duplica, who are usually quite talkative to each other, were blanking each other…well, actually Richie was blanking Duplica. I'm not sure what that is about, but it bears thinking about…especially if it is something I can use to my advantage.

(Meanwhile, there seems to be a hidden motive to Richie's running away…)

Rudi: …I still don't understand them.

Richie: No, it was a mistake, an accident, it's just well….

Rudi: (slyly) Oh, I see.

Richie: No, you don't. (sighs) Everyone on the island said I looked like Ash when we first met….except for her. She said…

(Flashback: 1st day, night talk)

Richie: (sighs) Is there someone here who doesn't think I look like Ash…

Duplica: If it makes you feel better, everyone thinks I look like someone else…

Richie: But that's your job.

Duplica: Then make it my job to make you feel better. (Ash voice) I want to be a pokemon master…but then I lost to Richie! WAAAAAHHH!

(Richie stiffles in the chuckles…and can't help but laugh. Duplica smiles as she holds her hand out to Richie)

Duplica: That's more like it, your smile is different to Ashy. It's…more cute.

Richie: (blushes) Th-thank you.

(End mushy flashback thingy…)

Richie: Don't tell anyone…especially Giselle will ya?

Rudi: Don't worry, confidential is my middle name.

Richie: I thought it was…(Rudi covers his mouth)

Rudi: No one reveals it to the cameras, got it?

(Richie nods…he can't speak at the moment ya?)

(Rudi goes away, to try and pry the 102nd staring contest between Giselle and Cassidy, as Richie sighs)

Richie: What am I going to do?

* * * *

10.30am – MINORI

Tom VO: What he does is have a talk with his two other mole colleagues. However, he doesn't actually say what the problem is…

Richie: I can't tell you, but it's something that's weighing in my heart.

Casey: Homesick?

Todd: Or a different kind of sickness?

Richie: It's just…hey, what's that?

(Shot of an arrow embedded on the tree where Cassidy has quick got it…)

Cassidy: Another stupid poem.

Under the sea, under the sea

It's where immunity is to be.

Pull up that treasure chest

To be in with a chance to be the best.

Giselle: At least we agree with one thing…

* * * *

IMMUNITY CHALLENGE

Grab a chest from the bottom of the sea and get it to beach as a team. The first team to do so wins immunity.

(Shot of Tom, excited as always to see his heroes and heroines, is ready to introduce the next challenge.)

Tom: Welcome my little fishies! Today, we have a whale of a time with this underwater challenge. This requires a lot of strength and teamwork…which means I think both teams are in trouble…

(A few glares are sent…this time at Tom's way)

Tom: Er…anyway, the challenge is simple. The group must swim 100 metres, where there is a chest…at the bottom. Which means you need to dive there, and be able to lift it…and then together, take the chest and get to the beach. First team which get to their respective circles, will win immunity. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is it. As we've got an even team, we won't remove anyone for this challenge, so everyone get ready to swim…

(The groups are ready, as it isn't just about strong swimming, it's about strong teamwork, something that has been lacking so far within these tribes.)

Tom: And GO!

(The two teams begin their swim. As expected, Joy and Misty takes the lead ahead of their teammates, with James following behind. For Minori, Giselle and Rudi take the early peak for Minori, the others for both tribes fairly evenly matched. Now, it's about heart as they have to dive under for the chest…)

(James dives first as Misty waits for everyone else. None of them are slouches in the water so they at least get there in decent time. Minori are only slightly slower, as Rudi has already dived to check the weight. Both guys rise and begin talking. A few seconds later, Majori's Joy, Brock and Tracey join James as they go for the chest. For Minori, Todd, Richie and Cassidy go underwater. Misty then dives down as the guys begin to lift. Now the hard part, sustaining the weight of the chest whilst swimming back.)

(Minori on the other hand, are having problems, as now everybody is diving down to try and help the chest get up. Eventually they do, but Majori have got a 5 metre advantage now as the group have to catch up)

(Majori seem to have the strength advantage, especially with Joy leading the chest, as James, Brock and Tracey hold it up, Misty keeping their pace up with her swimming skills. Minori don't have as much strength as Majori, and they are slowly dragging behind. Eventually at the 70m mark, they collapse.)

Misty: Onward men and women! We've got them now!

(Misty's call gives Majori's confidence a bigger boost as they slowly get towards the goal. Minori try one more time in vain, but it's all for nought. Majori stick the chest on their symbol, and give a whoop of victory. Majori have won immunity…)

(As Minori comes in, Giselle kicks the sand, angry. Everyone else, even Cassidy, is simply sad and tired. This doesn't knock on Majori's parade, as everyone is celebrating, no matter their problems with each other, they know they have now a 1 in 13 chance of winning.)

(For Minori, that chance will end for one of them…)

* * * *

Tom: And Majori, you proved to be the better treasure hunters this day, and your treasure is this…the immunity amulet. Congratulations!

(The group share another moment of victory…)

Tom: As for Minori, one of you better start getting those pillows fluffed up for the last time, because one of you will be going back to your own time tomorrow. I'll see you then…at Tribal Council.

(Minori are very sad. Another one will bite the dust tomorrow night…)

* * * *

Tom VO: Needless to say, after returning to camp, Majori are partying like it was 2099…

Misty: A combination of speed, power and somehow, teamwork…

Brock: …and we're here for another three days, and one of them is going.

Joy: And you promised me that you were going to go through who are our strongest oppositon for the merge…

Tracey: You know, she's right. 3 more immunties and we merge, half way through the first part.

Jessie: We're still here!

James: We're still here!

Jessie: I just said that…

James: Who cares? We're still here!

Ash: (Sweatdropping) We'll leave those two to their ego trip…and their relief…

Joy: (wraps her arms around Ash and Misty) Well, guys, shall we go for a little celebration party?

Ash/Misty: (smiling) Sure!

(Shot of Tracey and Brock with matching sweatdrops)

Tracey: Is there something…

Brock: …she isn't telling us?

Joy: Hey, you joining us?

Brock/Tracey: Sure! (glare at each other before heading to the sea, as Team Rocket continue to celebrate without anyone caring…)

* * * *

Tom VO: And speaking of not caring, Minori are on 'lack of care' syndrome at the moment…

Giselle: That…sucked…

Rudi: Let's get used to this, because if we perform like this, we'll be seeing Tribal Council three more times after this.

Todd: That's something I don't want to happen…

Casey: Four of us gone…alright! Want me to threaten you with my singing again?

Cassidy: (sarcastic) How's that for inspiration?

Giselle: No thanks little girl, big people have to figure out how to go to Tribal Council…

Casey: Just because you're older than me, doesn't mean you can boss me around and treat me like a kid!

Duplica: I never thought I'd meet anyone as stubborn as Ash, but I tell you, travelling makes you think…

Casey/Giselle: SHUT UP!

Duplica: O.K, geez, have your little bitch-fight, I give up. (Duplica goes away pissed off…and isn't unnoticed.)

Todd: I didn't expect that.

Rudi: What's rattled her cage?

Cassidy: Because we lost Einstein, what do you think?

(Shot of Richie silent to the others)

Richie: I don't think that's the reason…

* * * *

5.00PM

Tom VO – Lunchtime for Majori, and yes, they are discussing who is their most problematic people when the merge happens…

Misty: Giselle won't last the merge. I wouldn't be surprised if she went tonight.

Joy: She that much of a spoilt brat?

Ash: (under his breath) I can't imagine anyone like that here…

Misty: WHAT WAS THAT ASH KETCHUM?

Tracey: Well, this is as new as it is for me as it is for Joy. So you say Giselle or Cassidy will go at least. Who else could go?

Brock: Todd maybe, because of his past, maybe Casey…if she sings too much…

Ash: God forbid. (the group laugh) Nah, Casey is a nice girl…just too hyper…

Misty: I can't imagine anyone like that here…

(They laugh as Ash blushed red)

Misty: Revenge!

Ash: I think Richie is O.K for the merge. Duplica probably a safe bet as well, which leaves Rudi…

(Brock notices Misty blush a little and Ash turn his head slightly)

Tracey: Oh that's right, Rudi liked you didn't he Misty?

Brock: WHHHATTT?

Jessie: He means breeder twerp, that the guy…

Brock: I know what he meant Jessie. Wow, you didn't tell me about that Misty…

Misty: (nervous) I just didn't think it was important, that's all…

Misty: I never really told Brock what happened. That Rudi asked me to stay with him. I'm afraid that everything will come in the open if Rudi makes the merge…

* * * *

(At the same time, lunch is an affair as Giselle takes her hand to prove her use to the group by swimming. Little does she know, she is being seen as the major target for eviction.)

Casey: I'm going to vote for her again you know.

Todd: Seems sad, but I guess it's smart. Cassidy has no allies, she isn't a threat anymore.

Richie: It could be a risk letting Cassidy get too far though…

Todd: She won't get that far. As soon as Giselle goes, Rudi will be with us as well and Cassidy with either go next time we're at Council, or we win every challenge and the 6 of us go together against 4 of Majori.

Casey: Planning everything out…sound familiar?

Todd: Watch it.

(Casey and Todd laugh, whilst Richie sighs.)

(Meanwhile, Rudi is staring out into space.)

Rudi: I don't know how much danger Giselle is in, but I feel that I need to make at least an attempt of saving her cute self. If I don't, I'm either gone or I need to do a lot of begging…

(Shot of Cassidy under a tree, not bothered about the actions going around)

Cassidy: I accepted as soon as Butch went that my chances of winning were zip. For that, I'm not bothered what happens. Maybe, they'll look past me and get rid of someone else, but for now, all I can do is wait and hope.

(Meanwhile, Giselle has caught a couple of fish and is about to emerge, when she spots the group of three talking. She notices Rudi and Cassidy as well.)

Giselle: It seems whilst I'm away, the cats will play. Fortunately, I'm the Granbull.

Hey wait, the ditto girl isn't with them…

(As soon as she says that, she spots said ditto girl, carrying some water, and carrying also what is similar to a bo staff, more accurately a bamboo pole. Giselle is confused.)

Giselle: What's this all about? This seems too weird to be coincidence…

(Giselle begins to do her own investigation…anything to save her behind…)

* * * *

8.00pm

Tom VO: The sun sets in for Majori, and the group face a nice sleep without any danger or threat to their livelihood on the island.

Brock: Joy is sleeping outside tonight, it makes her feel nostalgic to her days as a nurse in the open. If it gets cold, maybe I should…

Misty: Hey, we aren't supposed to hear your perverted thoughts!

Brock: Sorry…

Jessie: Keep it down, I'm trying to get my beauty sleep here!

Misty: That should take a 1000 years…

James: (snoring) Pickled onions…hoers d'ouvre…

Ash: (snoring) Pikachu…thunderbolt! Yeah, that's 100 wins to Gary's 0…

Tracey: Where's the water…

Tom: Whilst on Minori, things are about to take a turn for the interesting…

* * * *

(Shot of Giselle going to camp. Casey is sleeping outside, as Giselle snorts. Cassidy is by herself, as Rudi and Todd are in the same one. Giselle smiles slightly, as she is about to get her own beauty sleep, but then notices something…)

Giselle: Wait, where's…

????: O.K, out of it.

????: Wh-what?

????: Why are you avoiding me…we were all friends the other day, and now you won't even give me the time and day!

????: It's it-it's nothing! I was just…

????: Just what? It's take a lot to annoy me, but as you can see, this pole didn't exactly survive my frustrations when I went on water duty…

Giselle: Oh, curiosty killed the Meowth…last time I checked I didn't have claws…unless it was for gathering information. (smiles) This could be interesting…

????: So what happened then?

????: It's just…when I…(coughs)..grabbed your hand…

????: It was an accident Richie-boy, you just went in the water the same time as I did. AN accident.

Richie: But it was…I thought you would be…

Duplica: (laughs) Mad? Evil? Psycho? Well…I can play all of those, but my name isn't Misty. I'm not that bad-tempered…and I'm certainly not going to hate you for this…besides, I'd prefer if we did work together instead of playing plague.

Richie: What do you mean?

Duplica: We can go long in this came. Out of all of us, I think Ashy and the others may trust us more than anyone here. If we can get to the merge, we could be a surprise to upset those hierarchy over there…

Richie: I was with the others you know…

Duplica: Don't worry, I love Casey like a sister. I can't do anything to hurt her, as long as we all stick together…especially us…

Richie: Er…well…

Duplica: Are you alright? You look a bit red…

Richie: No, no, it's O.K…this time, you can touch my hand. Shake on the deal?

Richie: (after a pause) Sure.

Giselle: Well, plan A may have gone…but maybe I now have a plan B. (Giselle goes back to camp, 'asleep'. Shot of Richie and Duplica now entering their own camp, unaware of Giselle's eavesdropping…or the fact that neither have let go of the each others hand…)

Richie: You can let go now.

Duplica: Let's keep it like this tonight…let's not break the bond…

(You could probably hear Richie's blush out there…but Giselle's smile inside her camp is not one of kindness…)

* * * *

DAY 9 – MAJORI

9.00am

Tom VO: Not surprisingly, the group decided to sleep in. Even Joy, the most early riser since Jenny has decided to cuddle herself in the wake of a good night sleep.

Joy: The relaxation of not worrying about voting someone off is such a joy, forgive the pun, and being with most of the kind people here makes it worthwhile.

(Shot as Joy finally gets up, rubbing her eyes…)

Joy: I just hope Chansey is missing me…

Tracey: I don't think anyone wouldn't miss you.

Joy: (smiles) Thank you Tracey. You the only one up?

Tracey: Nah…Brock went out to catch some fish. Jessie and James are cooking, and Ash and Misty are on water duty. You were the last person to wake up…

Joy: (shocked) No way…

Tracey: (smiles) A surprise?

Joy: Honestly, the latest I've ever slept in is about 7.30. I usually get up around 6, I guess all those lost hours sleep are finally catching up.

Tracey: I think you earned it…hey!

(Shot as Joy has her head on Tracey's shoulder, her eyes closed.)

Joy: Maybe…a few more minutes…

(Tracey is blush red, but lets Joy rest. Tracey very nervously puts an arm around Joy. Even more of a surprise is Joy cuddling up to him. However, this blissful movement is ended when Tracey spots Brock in the distance…)

Tracey: I'm sorry Joy, I'd better go.

Joy: It's O.K…

(Joy opens her eyes and gets up as Tracey is busy trying to hide his poor red face. Fortunately, Brock didn't see what happened, and instead greets Jessie and James with 3 fish)

Brock: A breakfast fit for 7 survivors!

James: I'm starving!

Jessie: There's a surprise…well come on, let's get them grilled!

(As the fish go round, Tracey and Joy join them. Brock gets a little suspicious…but that ends when Ash and Misty come back from water duty. The two are chatting friendly, which of course, gets a surprise look from Tracey and Brock)

Brock: Wow! It's looks like we have two different people that were on the Johto roads!

Tracey: Yeah, Misty isn't usually that friendly…

Misty: Must…resist…to…hurt…them…

Ash: Fight it Misty!

Jessie: Aww…the lovebirds are back!

Misty: On second thought…

* * * *

MINORI TRIBE

Tom VO: Breakfast has long since come and gone, however Giselle couldn't help but have one last conformation…

Giselle: I woke up as early as I could, which isn't hard as I'm used to it to get ready for Tech classes. I quickly peeked inside Richie's camp, and yes, they were still holding hands. Now, let's see…who could use this information to their advantage especially considering they are in danger of being eliminated…hey, I'm smart and beautiful, I know when I'm in trouble…

(Shot of the group, and as Richie and Duplica are talking, Casey has glomped the two of them…)

Casey: I'm so happy you two are talking! It was so boring without you guys…

Richie: Case…

Duplica: …can't breathe.

Casey: Oops, sorry!

(The group are in surprisingly high spirits, especially as they know one of them is up for the chop. However, that thought does plague in front of their minds at all times…)

Rudi: Council will be tough, especially for Giselle. I've got to somehow convince the others that Cassidy or even Casey would be a better choice…

Rudi: I'll go wash up.

Todd: I'll join you bunkmate.

(The two leave to their devices as Cassidy leaves to soak in the waters under the sun. A few eggs still remain for the rest of the day, however the only real thing broken will be one of Minori's chances to stay in the game.)

* * * *

Giselle: Although Casey would be tempting, I don't think anyone is going to vote for her. So I've got to redouble my efforts on Cassidy…

Rudi: I talked with Todd, he wouldn't give much away, but I think he is going to go for you.

Giselle: (smiles) Of course he would. I'm a threat.

Rudi: (sweatdrops) You know, for someone who is in real trouble tonight, you are surprisingly calm.

Giselle: I have a plan.

Rudi: Really?

Giselle: Really. And it will work, trust me. (Giselle walks off as Rudi contemplates this dialogue)

Rudi: Is she feeling O.K?

(Mole group)

Todd: Is Duplica with us?

Richie: Yeah. She's going for Giselle as well, it should be 5 to 2 if Cassidy votes against her.

Casey: She hates her guts as well, it's a guarantee.

Todd: Well we've still got the rest of the day to make a decision, so let's just enjoy our time here…

(Todd, Casey and Richie depart. But as soon as Richie is on his own…)

Giselle: Richard?

(Richie turns, not too happy with someone saying his full name…)

Richie: Yes Giselle?

Giselle: (smiles) Let's have a talk honey.

* * * *

MAJORI

Tom VO: For the rest of the day, Majori decide to have fun as much as they can in the situation. As 4pm comes, thoughts of hunger and council are far from their minds and bodies.

Misty: Ha, and the Misty Mermaid wins again!

Jessie: Grrr…one more time water girl!

Misty: Who do you think you are, Shampoo?

Jessie: Shut up…James, again!

James: I'm tired…let's trade places!

Jessie: No chance!

(Shot of Jessie and James after losing yet another round of chicken fight against this time Tracey and Misty. Ash is the not quite willing referee as Joy watches with interest.)

Joy: I never realised what an outdoor life can truly be about…

(Shot of Brock as he hands her over a melon)

Brock: Hey, I didn't think they had it here, but I found one off the tree as I was going for water, I guess this is a tropical island…

Joy: (smiles) Thank Brock.

Brock: Don't worry, I've washed it thoroughly. We'll cut it up later, but I want you to have the first piece…

Joy: You're sweet Brock…as long as it doesn't make me the guinea pig..

Brock: If it's poisoned, I'll slit my wrist and give you all my blood Joy.

Joy: (blushes) I don't think you need to go that far…(yawns)…I think all this lack of sleep really is catching…

Brock: (gently) Hey, are you alright?

Joy: I'm…fine…can you just take me back to camp…

Brock: Sure. (Brock tries to help her stand, but Joy is tired and dragging along. Brock picks her up as Joy wraps her arms around his neck, as Brock takes her back to camp. As he lays her down, it seems she's asleep. Brock looks at her face…)

Brock: She's so beautiful…so gentle…

(Brock puts the blanket over her and turns around and walks to the sea. The red tingles around his face as he headed to the ocean to watch the conclusion of the 'match', his embarrassment desperately being trying to be hidden…)

* * * *

7.00pm

MINORI

Tom VO: An hour before Tribal Council, and after a late dinner of eggs and rice, the group full, yet upset. Another will go.

Casey: You still feel like we wanted this to happen…

Todd: I guess. So, you guys ready?

Richie: I…suppose so.

Casey: Duplica?

Duplica: Yeah…

(The group start to move. However, as soon as Todd and Casey aren't looking, Richie and Duplica turn to see Giselle with a grin on her face. The two shake their heads as they walk along, Rudi and Cassidy bringing the rear…)

* * * *

TRIBAL COUNCIL – Day 9

Tom VO: The calling of Lugia is passing, as the year 2040 brings it's latest chapter to an epic tale. The fall of yet another minor character from Pokemon. Who will it be?

Tom: Well, as long as it isn't Ash and Misty at the pedesal, I'm happy!

Giselle: Poor misguided idiot.

Tom: And that's enough from you young lady. Well, tribe Minori, you're second time at Council, and one that certainly showed more questions than answers. Richie, did you think your team wasn't as good as Majori's in the immunity?

Richie: In any team game, you are only as good as your weakest link. Sadly in the challenge, we were all weak. And when the whole link is weak, it gets broken very quickly. That cost us…hopefully it won't in the future.

Tom: Well, as it's in my contract, I got to say that I agree, but if it wasn't, I'd hope Majori win the next 3 after this…

(Chromus: And he accused ME of author bias…)

Tom: Anyway, back to the mindless questioning, Cassidy, one rocket down, is it your turn?

Cassidy: No comment.

Tom: Short and to the point…I like it! Casey, you've been an interesting character, part Sana Kurata…whoever she is, heck, I'm just reading off Don's notes…and part Asuka Sohryu…so, what do you feel your role is here?

Casey: I feel I'm part of a unit. Like any team, you have players and they have to work off each other. I'm part of that, whether it is strong or weak. Another link has to go today, so we'd better just get used to it…

Tom: O.K, finally Giselle? Are you queen of the island?

Giselle: (smiles) Say that after I win.

Tom: Well, if I was a betting man, your goose is cooked, but it's your fellow tribemates that decide a persons fate. O.K, you've been here before, so you know the drill. Headphones on, and type in who you want booted off. Enjoy the mindless hatred!

(Shot as the group are at their laptops. On them, there are now screensavers for each person, which are like the pedesals. For those who need to know, they have…)

Cassidy – Raticate

Giselle – Cubone

Richie – Sparky (Pikachu)

Todd – Nothing (no pokemon)

Rudi – Starmie

Casey – Electabuzz

Duplica – Ditto

CASSIDY

It's either me or her.

VOTE – GISELLE

Cassidy: It's going to be her.

GISELLE

Well, let's see…hmm, well, I think I can say I've guaranteed my safety…

VOTE – CASSIDY

Giselle: This time, your butt is outta here!

RICHIE

It seems something always complicates my life…and now, it has.

TODD

It's always difficult to cast off someone, but in this case, it isn't too hard.

VOTE – GISELLE

One or the other, and Giselle is the bigger problem.

CASEY

Yes, at last!

VOTE – GISELLE

Hey, didn't you hear what I said?

RUDI

To protect Giselle, I have to vote for…

VOTE – CASSIDY

Surprise, surprise.

DUPLICA

To quote Akito Hayama, this sucks.

* * * *

Tom: The votes are done, headphones off people!

(The group comply as Tom refers to the giant screen)

Tom: Hopefully, we all know what this is for now, so I don't have to go through everything again, so shall we just go to the vote?

(They nod)

Tom: No tie…so let's go! First vote…

(The screen flashes, and the first vote comes in. 'GISELLE.')

Tom: Giselle.

(Giselle huffs)

Tom: Second vote…Giselle.

(Giselle simply glares)

Tom: Third vote. Cassidy.

(Cassidy looks on impassive.)

Tom: Fourth vote…Giselle. 3 to 1 in favour of ice demon there…one more vote and she's gone.

(Giselle just yawns. The group are mostly nervous.)

Tom: Fifth vote…Cassidy.

(Cassidy just sighs)

Tom: Sixth vote…Cassidy.

(A few raised eyebrows go up…as Giselle smiles. Cassidy looks a bit surprised herself….)

Tom: 3 apiece ladies. And as I said, no tie so this vote will decide the fate of the two of you...and the final vote please reveal…

(And it is for…)

Tom: (sighs) Cassidy. And evil team Rocket is straight away sent to jail.

(Cassidy sighs, half-expecting it, but was definitely more surprised than she thought. Giselle smirks, Rudi smiles, Casey is pissed, Todd is scratching his head, Richie is solemn and Duplica has her head in her lap.)

Tom: Miss Cassidy, can you come up here?

(Cassidy goes up, not bothering to turn at her tribe as Tom addresses her)

Tom: Cassidy, the tribe has voted you off, your sending is complete. (Power of One plays) You must leave.

(She does, as the lonely abyss meets her icy look)

Tom: Well, a close call, but two Rockets down, and two left on Majori. I think there may have been a surprise though here…so maybe you should talk it over?

(The group leaves, but there is nothing to talk about. Giselle's smile is enough to send the message away…she got away with it.)

* * * *

Cassidy's final words;

What can I say? This sucked…we had no chance, heck, I bet that sneaky host knew that anyway and we were cannon fodder. Still, I felt that maybe I could have lasted longer if that group was smarter…oh well, I guess it's back to being the baddest for me…

Cassidy's time on the island – 9 days

Richie – For my survival sake, I better do as Giselle says. For now.

Duplica: She is so lucky…that's all I'm saying…

Cassidy was always in trouble being a rocket and all, but she could have survived because of Giselle. However, something went wrong with the script, and the second of four rockets are blasting off again.

Votes:

Cassidy (4) Giselle, Rudi, Richie, Duplica

Giselle (3) Todd, Casey, Cassidy

Next time;

Brock and Tracey heat up over Joy's affection…whilst Jessie is starting to hang herself in a noose, is Brock and Tracey's problems enough to keep her safe?

Richie and Duplica are questioned by Todd and Casey. Giselle's blackmail may be tough…but is it too much? Who is being the real sneak?

Reward challenge – Something up one of the groups alley? Pokeball pitching!

Immunity challenge – The trademark stretcher challenge. This time, who gets in the mess and who gets with the win?

And the 4th to go? Who knows?

Well, I do. ^_^

Well know, intrigue, deception, blackmail…gotta love Giselle. Heck, gotta love survivor.

Until next time, see ya!
