We arrived at the tribal council, where people were all talking about who they were voting off, and I heard a lot of people talking about who they were voting for, and I could hear Paulina's name being said here and there.

"Hey Danny," Sam said, as she came walking up to me, with Shane, who was still carrying the coconut.

"Uh, hey," I replied to her shyly. The normal Sam was standing next to me already, and she smiled at the other Sam and Shane.

"You voting off Paulina too?" She asked me.

"Yeah, who isn't?"
"I dunno," she laughed, and all of us laughed, except for Shane, who had a late arrival in laughing, even though he didn't know what we were laughing about.

"You wanna come sit with us?" I offered her, and a huge smile spread across her face.

I walked over to the seats, and we all five sat next to each other in a row. I was in-between both of the Sam's.

"Welcome to the tribal council," the host welcomed us, and he looked more serious than anything.

"You will all get to vote out anyone you would like. If anyone has some words before we vote, please say something now."

No one said anything, and he nodded.

"All right, we will start from the top."

Paulina was the first to be able to vote, and then everyone afterwards was able to vote. After we had all turned in our votes, he grabbed the jar, and stood in front of us. I wasn't worried at all, since no one seemed to like Paulina, and everyone there seemed to enjoy me for some reason.

He pulled the first name out of the jar, and it said Sam M. but all the others were Paulina.

"But… That's impossible!" She protested sourly.

"The tribe has spoken," he said, and grabbed out something to put the flame out on her torch. She got up angrily, and walked away.

"Anger problems…" Sam said next to me then continued, "Well, we know who voted me off."
"Yeah," I said, and laughed.

We all returned to camp, and Tucker was hanging out with Rachael now, and Shane was off playing with his dumb coconut, so it was just Sam, Sam, and I.

It was dark out now though, so there wasn't much to do. We didn't know exactly where we were going to sleep, but I was already making really good friends with the other Sam, so we were going to stay in a group. The other people, I didn't know as well yet, because they never said anything to me much. I wanted to get to know people, but that would be a job for tomorrow, as for tonight, I was just going to stick to the people I knew a little better than the rest, or in Sam and Tucker's case, a lot better than the rest.

The three of us sat down at the edge of the water, and watched the waves.

"Wow, I have never had a group of two girls, and one guy!" Sam said excitedly, since all her life, she was with Tucker and I, no one else. She never had a girl for a friend before, and this made her happy. I thought she would be jealous of me hanging out with another girl, but both of them seemed to get along good.

"Yeah, it is different to be the only guy," I admitted, and it was. I didn't mind it though in the least bit…

"Isn't any different for me. Sept.. I am next to the one person in the world I could have only met in my dreams!" Sam said, and she leaned over and wrapped her arms around me. I smiled slightly, but not letting the other Sam see, or then the friendship of the two could come to a sudden stop.

She let go of me, then turned back off to the water.

"I can't believe I am actually friends with my idol, and my crush! This is soooooo amazing!" She exclaimed happily.

"Hey guys," Tucker greeted us, with Rachael following behind him.

"Hey Tuck," I said, and the two Sam's just looked at him, but didn't say anything.

Tucker and Rachael sat down behind us.

"Guess what Danny?"
"Huh?" I asked him, not bothering to turn around to look at him.

"I have a girlfriend!" He shouted, and all three of us turned around to look at him, and Rachael who was now blushing at Tucker's sudden outburst.

"What?" All three of us asked at the same time, looked at each other oddly, then returned our glances back to Tucker.

"I was talking to Rachael for a while, and we decided we were perfect together! Don't you think?" He asked us confidently, and I noticed he was holding hands with her. None of us said anything though.

"Well, at least it is better than me going out with two people," he told me, looking from the two Sam's, then back at me.

"They aren't my girlfriends!"

"Then which one is?"

"None of them…"

"Sure…" he muttered.

"I'm not, am I guys?" I asked, referring to both of the Sam's, who now looked as though they were in a daze.

"Uh… no…" Sam said, but then whispered, "I wish."

Then, the normal Sam looked at me, then back at Tucker, "No."

"They both sound unsure," Tucker teased, and I lunged at him, causing him to fling back, and I ended up rolling in the sand a ways.

"Hey!" He said, and attacked back, although we were just playing. The three people around us, were laughing at our act, and I felt myself blush under embarrassment. Tucker and me both sat up after wrestling, and we were both covered in dirt. I shook my head, and watched as the sand when shooting out in every direction. I then ran my hand down my hair, so that the sand would fling out of it.

"Looks like I am gonna have to go swimming tomorrow," I noted, referring to the fact that now I was filthy.

"Yeah, looks like it," Sam (regular) said and giggled.

Tucker stood up, and brushed off his pants, and his shirt, then he took off his beret, and shook it free of the sand. I patted myself down too, and I then looked at the people standing around me, and it seemed as though all eyes were locked on us now. Everyone in the camp had caught what had happened. I smiled timidly, trying to act as though nothing happened, but then everyone bursted out with laughter, and I slunk down.

"It's Ok bro. You know what? You seem more and more like a good brother to me!" Malakita said, as she ran up to me and patted me on the back.

"Thanks," I said, deciding that maybe, I could just pretend I was her brother, to make her more happy. After all, if I was to make people mad at me, I would never last to the end of the game, right?

"You know what, maybe I am your brother," I said reluctantly, but I said it anyhow.

"Yay! Finally, you believe me! I wonder what it would have been like though, if our parents were to have stayed together? Oh… then we would be the best siblings in the world!"
"Uh yea… you seem like you would be a good sister," I replied, but then headed off towards Where Sam, Sam, Tucker, Rachael and now Kiara was standing. Once again though, as of Kiara having the laughing problems, she was still laughing at what the other people had stopped laughing at a while ago.

"Umm… was it that funny?" I asked her nervously.

"Heehee… sorry, I couldn't stop after I got going," she said, although she could barely get the words out since she was laughing, and trying to talk at the same time. I had done that before, and I know it isn't the easiest thing in the world.

"Kiara, do you laugh about everything?"
"Well… not everything, but a lot of things," she replied, after settling down. I smiled at her, she didn't seem like that bad of a person either. People here were a lot nicer than I had planned, and really, they just wanted to be friends, they weren't trying to get people kicked off or anything. They were all enjoying the time they had there, and I was enjoying it too. It would be sad once these people had to start leaving, since in my opinion, Paulina was the only bad one around. We just needed to work extra hard to make sure our team won all the challenges, that's all.

"I can be like that too," Sammy replied. (That is what I am calling the other Sam, cuz the Sam, Sam thing is getting really confusing! Don't you agree?)

"Really! Yay! I'm not alone!" Kiara replied happily. Everyone was getting along, if Paulina was still here, she would be totally alone the whole time, which I guess would have been pretty funny…

"Hey, you think we should get a fire started?" Rachael asked us all, in which I could tell her and Tucker were talking about it, because Tucker smiled when everyone faced them.

"How are we supposed to do that?" I asked her.

"I dunno. And when we do get it started though, someone has to be awake to watch it. We can all take turns being awake, we can be awake in pairs, how does that sound?" Rachael replied.

"Sounds good to me." And the rest of the people agreed upon it.

"How to get it started now?" Sam asked us all. Everyone looked puzzled at one another, and then Tucker said, "We need to find two rocks… and something to start it with!"

"Rocks? Are you nuts! We need to wait until the sun is up tomorrow, and we can use your glasses, that will start a fire better," Sammy said.

"You don't believe in the rocks?"

"No, because you have to use a certain kind of rock, even I know that!"

"Who is gonna stand here tomorrow and hold my glasses above it all day?" He teased her, and she rolled her eyes.

"It will work, trust me," she said confidently.

"Yeah, I think she is right Tuck," I told him, since after all, where was he going to find the right kind of rock for that? (Flint, in case you were all wondering…)

"Fine, agree with your new girlfriend," he mumbled.

"She's not my girlfriend!"

"I wish I was…" I heard Sammy say under her breath, and I looked at her, then glanced back at Tucker.

"Whatever dude."

That night, I could already tell was gonna be a pain for sleeping. We had no shelter, so I was guessing it was just a sleep wherever you wanted sort of thing. I didn't know what time it was when people started to get tired, but I did know it was late at night, because the moon was hung over the top of our island, and it was shinning brightly.

"You two wanna find a place to sleep?" I asked Sam, and Sammy, who shook their heads up and down. Everyone who was once hyper earlier, had lost all their energy, and a lot of people were already laying down sleeping. I looked at them all, and we were the only three left awake.

"Is someone missing?" I asked them both, and they both shrugged.

"I dunno," Sam said, and she looked amongst the people too, and we both counted.

"There is one missing," I said.

"Who?" Sammy asked us, even though she never bothered to count at all, she was just listening to what we were talking about.

"I dunno. Who do you think?"

I looked around, and noticed Tucker and I were the only two guys remaining, which meant Shane had to be off somewhere.

"Shane," I said.

"Where would he be, this late at night?" Sam asked.

"Who knows, he is weird," Sammy whispered, and we all three laughed.

"Oh well, if he got lost in the woods, I guess that is his problem," I said, and looked around for a spot for us three to lay down at.

"I am gonna have to lay on the ground?" Sammy asked unhappily.

"Yep. There isn't anything else, as of yet," I replied.

"Darn it! My hair is gonna get dirty! There had better not be any bugs out here…" she complained again.

"I'm sure there is, but they aren't all out to get you," I teased, and she looked at me sourly. Obviously, she was getting cranky, and Sam wasn't even saying anything anymore, but I did catch her yawning off to the side.

"Ok, how about we just lay down here?" Sam said, making up my mind for me.

"Fine by me, you?" I asked Sammy, since she seemed to be picky about what was going on.

"Yeah, I guess."

We all three laid down on the ground, and right away I was uncomfortable, since I had been sleeping on something soft for all of my life. We all managed to fall asleep though.

When we woke up in the morning, we were the last ones to wake up, as we were the last ones to fall asleep. Or at least I was, because Sam and Sammy weren't around anymore, I just noticed. I sat up, and saw people were all up, and a lot of them were missing, including those two. I looked around, and only Malakita and Kiara remained.

"Where is everyone?" I asked them both, and they both turned their attention towards me.

"They all went for a walk, but we stayed here, we didn't want to leave you alone," Malakita responded, and Kiara nodded an approval.

"Thanks," I said, getting up, and brushing the grass off of myself.

"You get a good rest?" Malakita asked, and giggled, which got Kiara on her laughing streak.

"Yeah, how long has everyone been awake?"
"Probably a couple of hours. They left as soon as Sam and Sammy got up. All of them went together. They weren't going to wake you up, and I decided it wouldn't be nice to leave you behind, because then you would be wondering where all of us went. You wanna start walking, and maybe find them?"

"Uhh… sure," I said, still a little tired, and not much up to it, but I didn't want to keep them waiting around here forever.

Malakita and Kiara started to walk, and I came up to them.

"You guys want a quicker way to catch up to them?" I asked them, a little nervous about it.

"Sure," Kiara responded, and Malakita nodded.

I changed into my ghost form, and both of them smiled.

"I have always wished to go flying with you! I thought it would be so cool!" Malakita responded happily.

"I figured that since everyone knew already, why not?"

I took ahold of both of them, one in each arm, and started to fly up above the woods. They both looked around in amazement at the woods below them, and I turned us all invisible, so the other people wouldn't see us coming.

"Are we going to scare them?" Malakita asked, and I nodded.

"That will be fun!" Kiara giggled hyperly. Obviously, she had gained her energy back, and so had I. I wasn't in the least bit tired anymore, and I couldn't wait to go swimming, since I was already hot from doing all this work so early. I soon spotted them, but they weren't moving, it looked as though they were just standing there, and I could hear Sammy arguing with Shane.

"Just give me the dumb coconut!" She hollered.

"No! He is alive!"

"No he isn't! He is here to keep me alive! I am thirsty!"
"You aren't going to drink CoCo man!" He hollered in shock, as though Sammy was going to eat his best friend. And were they in the shock of a lifetime…
