[Gloria fluttered back to her cabin and quickly changed back to her human disguise. Just as she walked out, her fairy ears heard crying from the docks]
Gloria: You guys hear that?
Trent: Heard what?
Gloria: Like someone crying.
Beth: I don't hear any crying.
Of course they didn't hear it. For fairies have a heightened sense of hearing, far more than any humans. So when Gloria found that no one shared her fairy abilities, she had to find a different excuse.
Gloria: Uh nevermind. Say, maybe we should check on the other team.
Beth: Good idea! I can give them this gelatin from the tuck shop! It has a gummy worm in it.
Heather: Hold it. It is not a good idea to fraternize with the enemy.
Gloria: Oh come on. It's not fraternizing. Unlike you, I'm here to make friends.
[Gloria and the rest of the Gophers walk over to the campfire pit. Heather rolled her eyes and followed her team. As they walked, Gwen was talking with Gloria]
Gwen: Exactly could you hear that crying?
Gloria: Well, we fairies have a great sense of hearing. we can hear anything from a great distance.
Gwen: How so?
Gloria: Right now, I can hear bears arguing about who took the last bit of honeycomb.
Gwen: Wow.
[They soon arrive to the campfire pit where the losing Bass was comforting a sad Sadie]
Gloria: Hi! [Courtney notices the other team]
Courtney: What do you guys want? Come by to rub it in?
Gloria: What? No. We're just here to offer you some dessert from the party.
Courtney: So what? You're just being… Nice?
Gloria: Yes.
Gwen: Also Owen stank up our cabin and we need some time to air out. [Owen farts]
Trent: Eww. Dude.
Courtney: No! I mean, no thanks. I'm good.
[Gloria notices Sadie crying]
Gloria: What's wrong with her?
Bridgette: Sadie's just sad that Katie just got voted off.
Sadie: KATIE! [sobs]
Gloria: Aw, Sadie. [sits down next to Sadie] You must miss Katie a lot.
Sadie: [sniffs] Yeah...
Gloria: Well, sometimes friends can't stand to be apart from each other. But it's okay, I'm sure she doesn't want you to feel so sad.
Sadie: She doesn't?
Gloria: Of course not. As an expert on BFFs I should know that friends never give up on friends. I'm sure that even though she misses you dearly she wants to keep going for her.
Sadie: [sniffs] I feel a little bit better. Still miss my bff, but I guess I should continue... Even though I can't see her again and... [starts sobbing]
Gloria: Hoo boy...
[Beth offered green gelatin with a gummy worm inside to Courtney]
Courtney: [freaked out] NO! [Calms down] I just don't like green jelly, okay?
DJ: [freaked out] SNAKE! [smacks the gelatin out of Beth's hands]
Cody: Chill, dude. It's just a gummy worm.
DJ: Sorry for trippin'. Snakes just freak me out.
Tyler: I feel you. Chickens give me the creeps, dude.
Gwen: You're afraid of chickens?!
Duncan: [chuckles] Wow, that's… That's really lame, man.
[Confessionals: Gwen]
Gwen: So suddenly, everyone's having this big share-fest by the fire. Like Beth went on and on about how her mortal fear is being covered by bugs, Harold's afraid of ninjas, even Heather admitted she's afraid of sumo wrestlers. [real time] What's my worst fear? I guess being buried alive.
[End Confessionals]
Lindsay: Walking through a minefield. In heels.
Owen: Flying, man. That's some crazy stuff.
Izzy: Hah. I would never go up in a plane. Never!
Gloria: You guys are afraid of flying? Come on! It's like the greatest thing ever!
Owen: You flew on a plane?
Gloria: A what? I mean, yes! Yes! I've been on a plane countless times before.
Geoff: I'm scared of hail. It's small but deadly, dude.
Bridgette: Being left alone in the woods.
Sadie: [sniffling] Bad haircuts.
Lindsay: Oh, okay. I change mine! That's so much scarier than a minefield!
Cody: Having to diffuse a time bomb under pressure.
Heather: What about you, purple? Tell us what you are afraid of.
Gloria: Me? Uh, well... I don't think we need to get into that discussion...
Lindsay: Aren't you afraid of something? [gasps] Are you afraid of bad haircuts too?
Gloria: No... It's... uh... Whay are we even talking about our fears anyway?
Heather: What's wrong, Gloria? Too scared?
Gloria: What! No! I'm not scared! [sighs] Alright. I'll tell you. But it goes way back into a dark point in my past...
[Flashback to when Gloria was a young princess back in Balsa]
Gloria: [narrates] It all started on my 8th birthday... [There was a birthday celebration outside the castle] My dad wanted to surprise me with some entertainment...
Cedric: Okay children! The entertainment is here! [All the fairy children in the kingdom cheered] Everyone say hello to Mr. Jackman!
[Everyone cheered until a young Gloria saw that Mr. Jackman was a creepy looking puppet. She was horrified]
Mr. Jackman: [creepily] Hiii kiiiiids! [The other fairy children cheered as Gloria froze in fear] I hear there's a special birthday girl in our midst! Wheeeere is sheeee? [Gloria hid in the middle of the child audience] There she is! [Gloria was frightened as the fairy holding the puppet went closer to the young princess] Aw, don't be shy. I want to wish you a happy birthday! Give me a huuuug! [The puppet hugs Gloria. Making her extremely terrified]
[The young fairy screamed in terror and flew away.]
Puppet Fairy: Huh?
[End Flashback. Gloria was frightened by the very thought]
Gloria: I've been afraid of puppets ever since...
Owen: Wow, that puppet sounds way scarier than flying.
Heather: Pfft! Big deal. You're scared of a harmless puppet!
Gloria: You should've seen it! It had big eyes, messed up teeth, like a twisted painting!
Geoff: Woah, that must've been one scary puppet! Like those movies where the doll comes alive and kills everyone!
[Gloria gasps in fear]
Gloria: Dolls can kill people!?
Gwen: Relax, Gloria. It's only a movie.
Courtney: Well, I'm not really afraid of anything.
Duncan: [coughs] Bologna.
Courtney: Oh, really. Well, what exactly is your phobia, Mr. Know-it-all?
[The circle was silent as Duncan tried to tell them his fear. And then finally, he spoke]
Duncan: [groans] [quickly] C-Celine Dion music store standees.
Cody: Haha, ex-squeeze me? I didn't quite get that.
Trent: Dude, did you say Celine Dion music store standees?
Lindsay: Ooh, I love Celine Dion! What's a standee?
Trent: You know… That cardboard cutout thing that stands in the music store.
Duncan: Don't… Say it, dude!
Trent: Kinda like a life-sized, but flat Celine.
Courtney: So if we had a cardboard standee right now…
Duncan: Shut up! What about you guys?
Trent: Okay, well, I hate mimes. Like, a lot. All right, Courtney, youre afraid of something. Spit it out.
Courtney: Nope. Nothing.
Gloria: Come on, Courtney. Everyone's afraid of something.
Courtney: Not me.
Duncan: [snortles] That's not what she said last night.
Courtney: Duncan, did you ever consider that maybe I was just humoring you and your stupid story?
Duncan: Sure, sure, princess. Whatever floats your boat.
Courtney: Shut up!
Gloria: Well, I'me sure you have a fear. We all do. Even me. But I know for a fact that there are many things that are part of life. And fear is one of them. And at one point you have to do something to get rid of those fears. Because you can't get over or under them. You can only go through them.
Courtney: Easy for you to say!
Gwen: Hey, take it easy on her. I think she's right. We'll have to face our fears eventually. But for now, let's be grateful we don't have to face them now...
[The next day, the campers were all in the Mess Hall until Chris blew his whistle]
Chris: Campers, your next challenge is a little game I'd like to call Phobia Factor. Prepare to face your worst fears!
Leshawna: Worse than this? [Holds up a piece of gray, moldy, rotten sausage with bits of hair]
Chris: Now for our first victims, Heather! Meet us all in the theater! It's… Sumo time!
[Heather did a spit take and it landed on Trent]
Chris: Gwen. You, me, the beach. A few tons of sand.
[Gwen gasps]
Gloria: [whispers to Gwen] You don't think he knows about our fears, do you?
Gwen: This is a reality show, they have cameras everywhere. What do you think?
Gloria: [gulps] Well, maybe they didn't hear my fear...
Chris: Gloria! We have a special show planned for you.
[Gloria gulps]
And so the Phobia Factor challenge was full effect. After Tyler tried to face his fear. The campers soon went outside where they found a huge pool full of bugs. Almost everyone but Beth were digusted by this.
Gloria: Okay, Beth. I know you don't like this kind of stuff. But I know you can do this just picture the worms as- [Before Gloria could finish, Beth dove right into the pool of worms] Wow. You just dove right in there...
[The gophers cheered at Beth's remarkable feat]
Chris: And Beth sets the bar way up there!
[Later in the ampitheater, Gloria and Heather were at opposite sides of the stage, one side was Heather up against a sumo wrestler. And the other was Gloria in front of a puppet theater awaiting a performance]
Chris: Heather stepped up to the plate, scoring the Gophers their second point on the board.
[Heather curled up as the sumo wrestler charged at her. He tripped on her and bounced off the stage and continued to bounce over the forest]
Gloria: Wow. [laughs nervously] That guy just keeps bouncing, huh? Are we done here? Because I got som stuff to do... anywhere but here... [Chris stopped her]
Chris: Ah! Ah! Ah! You can leave after the show. Introducing, the comedy stylings of Henry Hyuck! [The curtain rises up revealing a creepy marionette. Gloria was terrified]
Gloria: [terrified] Oh, sweet wings no... [Chad was controlling the puppet as he went closer to her]
Henry: Heya, Gloria! Someone told me that you were afraid of puppets! [Gloria froze in fear] Aw, come on Gloria! You don't have to be afraid of me! I'm adorable!
Gloria: N-N-No you're not...
Henry: Yes I am! Now, come here so I can give you a big hug...
[As the marionette approach Gloria. All she could see is a terrifying, ghostly creature laughing maniacally. Gloria couldn't take it anymore and she ran off the stage]
Gloria: [screams in terror] AAAAAAHHH! [Runs off the stage]
[Chad on a unicycle was chasing Gloria while holding the marionette]
Henry: Why are you running away from me? Don't you love me?
Gloria: YOU'RE MADE OF EVIL! [continues to run away from the puppet across the field]
Beth: Come on, Gloria! You can do it!
Gloria: GET IT AWAY FROM ME!
Heather: Forget it! She's too scared to even look that thing in the eye.
Gloria: Not true! [Looks at the puppet and screams]
Gwen: Gloria! Remember, you have to face your fear!
Gloria: I can't!
Gwen: You have to! You can't go over it! You can only go through it!
[The words Gloria said the other night was enough to stop her in her tracks]
Gloria: She's right... [She turns to the puppet and she took a deep breath. She then took the puppet out of Chad's hand and looks at it, and ash she looked she began to see past her horrific visions and just saw the puppet which was not as scary as she thought.] Huh? It's not so scary up close. And now that I'm seeing it face to face, he is kinda cute. [She then gave the puppet a big hug and the gophers cheered]
Chris: And Gloria scores another point for the gophers!
[Confessionals: Gloria]
Gloria: Wow! Just wow! I have finally conquered a fear that has plagued me for years! I feel like I'm not afraid of anything! If it wasn't for Gwen and the others I'd still be terrified. Hmm. Maybe these guys aren't as bad as I thought. Well, all except for Heather. She's the worst.
[End confessionals]
[Gloria went up to her team]
Gwen: Gloria that was great!
Owen: Yeah! You took on that puppet like as if it wasn't evil! Although It probably might've been evil...
Gloria: It's alright! I'm not afraid anymore. And I have you to thank, Gwen. You reminded me of my beautiful wisdom.
Gwen: Don't mention it.
Heather: What about me? I faced my fears too!
Gloria: No, you just stood there and the sumo tripped over you.
Heather: That counts, right.
[Gloria rolls her eyes]
Chris: Gwen, you're up!
[Later at the beach, Gwen was inside a clear box with a slot]
Trent: There's enough air for an hour. You only need to do five minutes.
Chris: As long as we decide to dig you up.
Gwen: Not funny, Chris.
Chris: Sheesh, take a pill.
Trent: I'll be listening the whole time. [Gives Gwen a walkie talkie] Just yell for me if you panic and I'll dig you right up.
Gloria: Don't worry, Gwen. You can do this! I mean how hard is it to be underground for an hour with limited air and-
Gwen: Not helping!
Gloria: Sorry.
Gwen: Goodbye, cruel world! [Chris starts to bury her]
[Later, Gloria was with Trent as he was talking to Gwen on the walkie talkie]
Gloria: You really care for Gwen, huh?
Trent: Yeah, she can be really cool.
Gloria: You know she likes you too.
Trent: I know, Heather spilled the whole thing at the talent show.
Gloria: Oh, don't even talk about that! What that girl did was unforgivable!
Trent: I know right? But, I'm okay with it.
Gloria: That's good. Because Gwen feels the same about you. But she's not ready to tell you that yet...
[Just as the two were talking, a mime approached Trent]
Trent: Well, I'm sure she can forget it. I mean I sure don't mind that she has feelings for me.
[The mime tapped Trent's back. When he turned around, he screamed as his fear was recognized and then he ran]
Gwen: [through walkie-talkie] Trent?
Gloria: Uh, I'm afraid Trent's busy at the moment...
And so as Chris continued to exploit everyone's fears, Gloria decidedto check on the other team. She strolled down to the cabins where the Bass was helping Duncan with his fear.
[A cardboard standee was wheeled in]
Courtney: She's pretty. She's nice.
[Gloria was behind one of the cabins seeing the whole thing]
Chris: Just one hug and you're done.
Duncan: T-That looks really… Real, man.
Tyler: Dude, she's made of cardboard! Get in the game!
[Courtney holds Duncan's hand]
Courtney: Hey. It's okay if you can't do it.
Duncan: [sighs] All right, I'll try.
[Duncan takes a deep breath then runs to the cardboard standee and gives it a big hug. Gloria smiles at this.]
Gloria: Sure is nice to have someone to help support you... [sighs]
[She continues to walk into the middle of the beach where she found Geoff being chased by a little cloud raining hail on him]
Gloria: What's that little cloud doing on Geoff's head.
Lindsay: Geoff's made a new cloudy friend. I want one too! Here cloudy cloud!
Gloria: I don't think that cloud's being nice. It's raining hail all over him.
Beth: I think hail is Geoff's fear. We shouldn't interfere, Gloria. He has to face it on his own.
Gloria: Oh.
[Chris was controlling the cloud as it continued to persue Geoff]
Trent: Can you make the cloud go lower and pelt him harder?
Chris: You are one sick dude. But yeah.
[Geoff was pelted even harder with the hailstorm over him]
Trent: Aw, that's awesome. Hey, do you ever feel like you've forgotten something?
Chris: Sometimes. I usually ignore it and the feeling goes away. [laughs] Watch this. I'm gonna bury him in hail!
Trent: Bury! Aw, crap! Gwen!
[Gloria came up to Trent as he and Chris dug up Gwen]
Trent: Gwen! You did it! [Gwen threw her walkie talkie at his head]
Chris: She's all right! She's all right!
[Gloria helps Gwen up]
Gloria: You're gonna be okay?
Gwen: Well, I did just got buried underground for an hour and a half and Trent totally forgot about it. What do you think?
Gloria: I'm guessing that's a maybe?
And so the Phobia Factor contest continued on, Owen and Izzy going throught their fear of flying. Sadie and Lindsay completed their hour of wearing bad haircuts. And then there was Tyler with his pathetic fear of chickens...
[Everyone wss gathered at the chicken coop. As Tyler prepares to face his fear]
Chris: All right gang. We're in the ninth inning. Tyler, for your challenge, you need to get into this pen for three minutes with these chickens.
[He opened the box, revealing a mother hen and two baby chicks]
Bridgette: You can do it, Tyler!
Duncan: Yeah. Unless, of course, you're chicken.
Gloria: Hey, don't make fun. He can do this.
Chris: Actually. I'm not sure we're getting anywhere on this one. [Tyler is seen in a fetal position]
Courtney: Tyler, this is the last challenge! Quit being such a girl! You have to do his or we're going to lose!
Cody: Actually, if you do the math, you can't possibly win. The score is seven to three.
Chris: Not necessarily. We've got one more challenge set up.
Courtney: Who? It can't be me. But I didn't…
Chris: You didn't have to. We're always watching you and your reactions!
Lindsay: I knew it! Didn't I tell you guys they were eavesdropping?
Courtney: Oh, who cares? It's not going to make a difference.
Chris: Let's make this interesting, then. I'll give you triple points if you can complete it.
[Later, All of the campers and Courtney were facing an enormous pool full of green jelly]
Duncan: [snortles] You're afraid of jelly?
Courtney: Shut up! Only the green kind! It's like sugary, jiggly snot!
[Gloria went over to the pool and grabs a bit of jelly and starts to taste it]
Gloria: Mm! Doesn't taste like snot to me. [Offers some jelly to Courtney] Want some?
Courtney: EEK! [smacks the jelly off Gloria's hand]
Chris: You can face your fear and dive straight into this pool of jelly, or let your team lose yet another challenge.
Courtney: [sighs] This is insane! I could seriously die doing this!
Gwen: Oh! That is just cruel! It's probably warm by now. Warm, green jelly! Snotty, bouncy, ugh!
Gloria: [continues to eat the jelly] Hey, don't knock it till you try it.
Gwen: [disgusted] Ew!
Courtney: You're not going to make me quit! [Begins to climb the ladder]
Duncan: That's it, keep climbing!
Bridgette: She's just trying to psych you out!
[Courntey manages to make it to the top and looks down]
Duncan: Like you said, Courtney! It's okay if you can't do it!
Bridgette: It is? But we'll lose!
Courtney: Ooh… [inhales] I can't do it. I'm coming down!
[Courtney climbs down in defeat and the gopher cheered knowing they won another challenge]
Chris: Then there you have it. The Gophers win invincibility this week. Again.
Gloria: [As Courtney walks by] Aw, that's too bad. Hey, don't worry about it you'll face your fear someday.
Courtney: Don't you patronize me! [walks away]
[Later that night, Gloria was laying down on the beach looking at the sky. Relaxed as she no longer feared puppets. Just then, Gwen walked up to her]
Gwen: Hey. There you are.
Gloria: Heya. What a day am I right?
Gwen: Yeah, never thought we have to face our fears on live TV.
Gloria: Well, I think it's good to face your fears. Because once you've stopped being afraid of you one fear, you don't have to fear anything anymore. And now, I feel like I can face anything without fear.
Gwen: Don't be too sure about that, Chris will think of some brutal terrifying challenge.
Gloria: Ah, I doubt he can do anything to me. Nothing's gonna stop me from finding my home. [Turns into her fairy form and flies into Gwen's shoulder] So, you ever heard of Danderball?
Gwen: No, what's that. A fairy game of yours?
Gloria: Oh! You have no idea! I was ten time champion!
Gwen: No kidding.
Gloria: Nope. You see the objective of the game is...
[As Gloria told Gwen about Danderball. Chad was spying on her through his binoculars]
Chad: Hmmm... No fairies left on the island huh... [laughs]
