[Inside the fairy tree, Richter was in progress in training his army.]
Richter: Men, you will be faced with a powerful enemy. These humans are very crafty, so we must be prepared for anything.
[The guards hoisted up giant human test dummies with big sticks and started working them. The fairies readied themselves. They begin to dash through the goal while trying not to get hit by the dummies. A few fairies got hit in the process and soon there was four left to cross the finish line while the others were limping from pain]
Mucina: Honey, I don't think we can do this. You're being to hard on them.
Richter: I have to be hard, Mucina! Every fairy needs to be on their toes and wings when it comes to fighting for what's right. I need my people to be ready to defend themselves from the horrible humans. It's for the good of our kingdom. And the for the safety of our daughter...
[Meanwhile at camp, the contestants were chilling outside thier cabins. Gloria was laying down on the ground looking at the clouds. Gloria lets out a relaxed sigh]
Gwen: What'cha doing?
Gloria: Watching the clouds. I do it all the time when I come out here. Really helps when I need to relax.
Gwen: How is it that you're so relaxed when Chris has your whole family hostage?
Gloria: I find that you can conquer anything with just a positive attitude. That's just how we fairies roll. Don't get me wrong, I'm taking this very seriously but I'm not gonna get my home back acting all stressed. Besides all I have to do is win this show and I'll pull over that Maclean for taking my home.
Gwen: You do realize that Chris isn't gonna make it easy for any of us, right?
Gloria: Well, I say bring it on Chris!
Chef: [through loudspeaker] Listen up, you little cockroaches! I want all campers to report to the Dock of Shame at 0900 hours! That means now, soldiers! Now!
[The campers then scrambled, Gloria not feeling rushed simpily walked to the dock. Everyone then lined up at the dock while Chef was inspecting them wearing combat attire]
Chef: [through megaphone] Line up and stand at attention! You call this proper formation?! Knees together! [Hits Geoff's legs with his rod] Arms down! [Whacked Duncan's arms] Eyes forward! [DJ faced forward] Head up! [Straightens Heather's head then whacks Harold serveral times for no reason]
Gwen: [hushed, to Trent] Oh, this is gonna be a fun day.
Chef: [through megaphone] What did you say to me, soldier?!
Gwen: Um… Nothing?
Chef: [through megaphone] And you'll continue to say nothing until I tell you that you can say something! Today's challenge will not be an easy one. In fact, I do not expect everyone to come out alive.
[Owen laughed until he got whipped]
Owen: Aww, that hurt!
Chef: [through megaphone] My orders are to make sure that all of the babies in front of me drop out of my boot camp except one. The last one standing wins immunity for their team!
Heather: Uh… what happened to Chris?
Chef: [through megaphone] Rule number one! You will address me as Master Chief! Have you got that?!
All (Excluding Gloria): Yes, Master Chief!
Chef: [through megaphone] You will sleep when I tell you to sleep! And you will eat only when I tell you to eat! Is that clear?!
Geoff: Yes, Master Chief!
Chef: [through megaphone] You will sleep when I tell you to sleep! And you will eat only when I tell you to eat! Is that clear?!
Geoff: Yes, Master Chief!
Chef: [through megaphone] Rule number two! When you are ready to give up, you will walk to the end of the dock and ring the bell. Which brings me to rule number three! I'll have to get one quitter before the end of the first day! And that day will not end until someone drops out! Now get your butts down to the beach, soldiers! Now, now, now!
[Everyone was was running to the beach while Gloria was once again walking with hands on the back of her head]
Chef: [To Gloria] You! Why aren't you sounding off.
Gloria: Hey, relax Chief. I read you loud and clear.
Chef: I'm watching you...
[Later, everyone was at the beach]
Chef: Listen up! Each team will hold a canoe over their heads! I catch you taking your hands off the canoe, and you will be eliminated. And no one eats lunch until someone drops out. Canoes up!
[The Bass and Gophers grabs their canoes and holds them over thier heads]
Owen: Pfft! This isn't that hard.
Geoff: Piece of cake!
[The two teams have been going at it for hours. Some of the campers were tired and hungry. All except for Gloria, who seemed bored but not exen exhausted]
Chef: Come on, you sissies! It's only been three hours!
Chris: Looks like they missed lunch today.
Chef: Mmhmm. Guess they just weren't hungry! Unless someone wants to quit now.
[Owen's stomach growls]
Gwen: Don't even think about it, Owen!
[Day turns to night as the campers continue to hold their canoes]
Chef: Twenty-five of us went to the jungle that night. Only five came back out.
Gwen: [yawns] What war were you in, anyway?
Chef: Did I ask you to speak?! Because I don't remember asking you to speak!
Gwen: Whatever. He so wasn't in a war.
Lindsay: Guys, I-I can't do this anymore. [Lets go of the canoe] I have no more feeling in my arms. [Walks over to the bell]
Chef: Looks like we got ourselves a quitter!
Gloria: Fight the urge, Lindsay! You can't quit on us now.
Owen: Yeah! Don't do it, Lindsay!
[Lindsay rung the bell with her head]
Chef: Listen here, you have nothing to be ashamed of...EXCEPT BEING A LITTLE BABY WHO LET YOUR TEAM DOWN! [The gophers dropped the canoe]
Gloria: [Stretches her arms] Whoo! That really did a lot for my arms!
Chef: As for the rest of you, head to the mess hall! Dinner is served!
Owen: Sweet Marie, thank you!
While the campers were busy training with Chef. Back at fairy kingdom, the fairy citizens were getting some training of their own...
[The next course was built for the fairies. It was a fake setup of a human home with wooden human dummies sitting on a fake couch]
Richter: Your next set of training will test your stealth. As you know were are very skilled in hiding ourselves from the humans. But they get smarter with every experience so we must be prepared to strike when they least expect it.
[The course begins and fairy citizens begin hiding. A couple hid beside the couch as the dummies were watching. They flew behind the dummies as it began to turn around but the fairies successfully blended in with their surroudings. The rest of the citizens were successfully able to pass Richter's test. Richter smiled at this]
Richter: Perfect. Soon we will all take back our home. [A loud crash was heard and the king sees a few fairies piled up on a dummy] With, a litte bit more practice...
[Meanwhile, back at camp. The contestants continued their challenge in the mess hall]
Chef: All right, maggots! Open your ears! You've got ten minutes to eat before night training begins! Get to it!
Owen: No way!
Harold: Aw, man. No way!
Gwen: Um, excuse me? Master Chief? Where's the food?
Chef: You're looking at it. [chuckles]
Gloria: Is the food behind those trash cans?
Chef: Your food is IN the trash cans!
[Owen opens up a trash can]
Owen: This is the leftover garbage from this morning's breakfast.
Chef: Darn right! When you're at war, you take what you can get!
[Gloria looks at the trash at disgust]
[Confessionals: Gloria]
Gloria: Okay, I know I said I'll do anything to win but even I have my limits! And those limits are eating trash.
[End confessional]
Chris: Well, I can see you've got this under control. I'm off to craft services. Coming?
Chef: Serve me up some of that. [He and Chris leave to the tent]
Heather: Oh, I am not eating this.
Gloria: For once, I have to agree with her.
Courtney: [scoffs] Me neither.
Duncan: Don't care for today's specials, Princess?
Courtney: I am going to be running for office one day, and no one is going to pull up a file of me eating garbage!
Duncan: Hey, Harold? We felt really bad about the whole underwear fishing incident thing. So here, we found you some apple juice.
Harold: Thanks. [sips but then spits it out] That's not juice!
[Geoff snickers]
Duncan: W-We must've confused it with the kitchen grease.
[Gloria can't help but notice the mean trick the guys pulled on Harold]
Gloria: I guess I'm not the only one with team trusting issues...
Courtney: You guys are so immature. I hope you're proud of yourselves.
Duncan: Heh. Okay, look. I know you like me. He knows you like me, everyone knows it. So here's a tip. If you wanna kiss me, I might let you.
Courtney: And to think I actually thought you were nice!
Duncan: Shh! Me? Nice? Haha, yeah right.
Geoff: Why'd you think that?
Courtney: Nevermind. I was wrong. He's just as gross and annoying as he wants you to believe. Enjoy your garbage!
[Gloria senses something between Courtney and Duncan. Later, the campers and Gloria were outside the beach and seen coping Chef's moves via "Thriller". Gloria was the only one enjoying herself due to her love of dancing]
Gloria: Man! This is more like it! [Gloria was dancing differently than the others] I didn't know they danced in the army! [Chef was glaring at Gloria]
[Duncan stops the music]
Courtney: Duncan, what are you doing?
Duncan: One of us drops out, we're done for the day.
Chef: We're done when I say we're done! Now drop and give me twenty! [Duncan drops down and does pushups]
Gloria: Aw, do we have to end so soon? I had loved that exercise. [Chef points at her]
Chef: You better shape up and fly right, lady! Or you're getting the boot! YOU READ ME!?
Gloria: Whatever you say, Chief. [Chef gestures to Gloria]
Heather: Ugh! Whay are you always so happy all the time!
Gloria: It's called staying positive, Heather. You should try it sometime. In fact by the looks of it you could use a lot. [Heather glares at her]
[Soon, the contestants were ordered back to the mess hall]
Chef: For your next challenge, you will complete a three-hundred-word essay about how much you love me. Anyone who falls asleep or fails to complete the challenge will be eliminated!
[The contestants began writing and after a while the alarm rang and it was time to present them to Master Chief]
Chef: [Reads Duncan's note] "I love Master Chief Hatchet because he is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very…" This is just one sentence with five pages of "very"s in between!
Duncan: It's three hundred words exactly! You can count them if you want.
[Chef walked over and slipped on Owen's drool]
Chef: Wipe off that drool, you little baby! [Bangs his fist on the table waking Trent and DJ up] You two slackers are out! [turns over to Gloria who was finishing up her note] Time is up, little lady! [Takes the note and reads it] Hmmm... not bad. Although the handwriting's a little too dainty. The rest of you, get to bed and report to the playing field at 0500 hours.
[Later at the girls cabin, Gloria was resting in her bunk while the rest of the girls came in looking exhausted]
Gloria: Hey, guys.
Heather: How can you still be so relaxed! Chef is breaking our backs!
Gloria: Aren't you overreacting a bit?
Heather: [To Gloria] What is your problem. Are you too stupid to see all the dangers on this island!? And don't you dare give me that "optimism" excuse again because that is getting annoying!
Leshawna: Okay, that's enough out of you!
Gloria: See this is what I'm talking about. If you go on acting spiteful and mean, you'll never achieve anything in life. Where I come from, my people always start their day with a smile because they believe that tomorrow will be better than today. They believe that things will always get better. That may not mean much to a girl like you but to me that means a lot.
[Heather paused for a moment after hearing Gloria's words then shook it off]
Heather: Umm... well... Well, fine. Keep being delusional! Meanwhile, I'm actually gonna try to win! [Climbs up to her bunk]
Leshawna: You know, G. I think all that stuff you say is really something. Maybe it wouldn't kill us to lighten up a bit.
Gwen: Doubt it. The only smiling around here is Chris. Mostly when he's tormenting us.
Gloria: Don't worry, girls. Just follow me and Maclean won't be smiling for long.
[The very next morning, the campers were at the obstacle course]
Chef: You will all run this course until you can all complete it in under one minute. Am I making myself clear?
Duncan: Crystal.
[The campers all went through the obstacle course. Gwen and Duncan climbed through the wall as Leshawna struggled to get over it]
Gloria: [Lends her hand] I got you. [Leshawna grabs on to Gloria and she went over the wall]
[Heather and Gloria passed through the tires but Owen got himself stuck in them. Geoff and Leshawna crawled under the axes as Gwen and Courtney passed the rope swing, but Harold slammed to the ground after climbing the wall and coughed up mud]
Duncan: Uh General Crazy, we've got a situation here.
Harold: [coughs] Too... much... mud.
Chef: Ring the bell and report to the infirmary. Your tour of duty is finished. [Harold walks to the bell]
Duncan: Wow, poor guy.
Chef: Back on the course soldiers! One false move and I'll be on you like stick on a poop wagon!
Duncan: I look forward to it sir!
[The campers continued to do the obstacle course again. Most of them were struggling, with Owen falling on the wall, Heather got snagged in the rope swing. Gloria had no problem dodging the axes by sliding through the mud. She notices that Leshawna is stuck in the mud, she grabs Leshawna's and she got out of the mud]
Gloria: Got ya. [They both sunk in the mud]
Duncan: Gallant soldiers, I salute you! [He soon stopped in front of Chef]
Chef: You just marked yourself 20 more pushups!
Duncan: Thank you! [Kisses Chef on the nose and that was enough to make him furious]
Gloria: Uh, I think you overdid it...
Chef: One-night solitary confinement. In the boathouse. [The campers gasped]
Duncan: Big deal. How scary can it be? [Duncan is seen in the boathouse surrounded by canoues and shark teeth] Should've kept my big mouth shut.
[wolf howls]
[Later back at the mess hall]
Heather: See what happens when you try to act all positive?
Gloria: Hey, it's not my fault that Duncan was being so enthusiastic.
Owen: I think he was only doing that to mess with Chef.
Gloria: Oh, well... he sort of had the right idea.
Heather: Face it. You are not meant to lead this team. Now if you'd listen to me... [While Heather was talking, Gloria notices Courtney walking out of the mess hall]
Gloria: Uh, could you hold that thought for a moment. [Gets up and leaves]
Heather: Hey! Where are you going!? [Leshawna pushes her] Oof!
[Outside, Courtney was walking to the boathouse holding a bowl of gruel and a flashlight. Just then, Gloria appeared behind her]
Gloria: Hey!
Courtney: [startled] Dah! Don't do that!
Gloria: Sorry. But I was just wandering around the island until I saw you holding a flashlight and a bowl of... [Sees the bowl of mysterious white slop] food... and I wanted to ask the reason why your out here.
Courtney: None of you buisness why I'm out here! Why does it matter to you? You're not even on my team. [Gloria senses were tingling]
Gloria: True. But we're all friends on this island. Except of course for Heather. She's the worst.
Courtney: [sighs] I'm just gonna go check on Duncan, that's all. Now leave me alone!
Gloria: You must really care for him, huh?
Courtney: Are you nuts!? Why would I care for him? He's rude, annoying, reckless, crazy... [Gloria raises her eyebrow] Ugh! Why are you so nosy!? [She leaves]
Gloria can't help but smirk at the CIT. Her fairy senses were telling her that Courtney definitely has feeling for theh punk. So she went back to the cabin to get some rest.
[Gloria was resting in her buk when she was woken up]
Leshawna: Gloria! Gloria, wake up. Duncan and Courtney got real food!
Gloria: Huh? [sees everyone eating real food. Gloria looked at Duncan and Courtney and smiled]
Owen: Mm, mm! I think I have jungle rot from that obstacle course. [shows his foot]
Lindsay: Ew, Owen. We're eating here.
[Gloria walks over to Owen who was munching on ice cream sandwiches]
Owen: Hey, Gloria! Ever had one of these before?
Gloria: Uh, I can't say I have?
Owen: [laughs] You got to try it, man! [Gives Gloria an ice cream sandwich]
[Gloria takes a bite of the sandwich and she was dazzled by the taste]
Gloria: Wow, this actually tastes awesome!
Owen: I know, right. [Gloria eats the whole thing] No wait.
[After Gloria shoved the ice cream sandwich in her mouth. Her head started to hurt]
Gloria: [clenches her head] AAGH!
Lindsay: Gertie! Are you okay?
Gloria: My head!
Owen: Gloria! Relax! It's just brainfreeze.
Gloria: Brain-what?
Owen: It's just what happens when you eat too much cold treats. I had one once when I was dared to eat an entire ice cream sundae in one gulp. My head was hurting for weeks!
Gloria: So does that mean my head will hurt for weeks?
Gwen: No, Gloria. You'll be fine. You just need to learn to take small bites.
Gloria: Oh, okay... [eats another ice cream sandwich] Still, tastes great.
Harold: Aw, guys! Gross! [Sees a peanut butter smiley face drawn on his mattress]
Duncan: Now see? That's a waste of good peanut butter!
[Courtney was about to reach for another sandwich but Bridgette stops her]
Bridgette: Okay, I think you've had enough.
Courtney: Hehe, oh no! No! Just, just one more. [Eats one more sandwich]Mm! [burps] Oh… Yeah. Yeah that one was a mistake. [Courtney runs out of the cabin to throw up as the girls laugh]
Gloria: Is she gonna be okay?
Chef: [over loudspeaker] Attention, all remaining boot camp recruits, the next evolution of your training begins tomorrow morning at 0700 hours! And if I catch the sucker that took my desserts, your butt is mine!
[The very next morning, the remaining campers had to hang upside down from a tree. Only Gloria, of course was enjoying herself]
Chef: What you are experiencing is an ancient form of torture. By now, the blood has begun rushing to your head. The next stage is nausea, followed by dizziness and a flushed appearance as the blood begins to pool your eyes. You may experience fainting spells...
Gloria: This what humans call torture. I hang upside down all the time. Really help flow blood to the head. [Duncan passes out and falls out of the branch. Bridgette jumps off the tree to see if Duncan was okay]
Bridgette: It's okay! He's all right!
Gloria: Don't worry, guys. Just follow my lead. [Holds on to the branch and everyone followed her]
Owen: [strains] Come on… I… can't… reach! D'ah! [farts] [chuckles]
Heather: Okay, that's it. I'm done. [Heather jumps down from the tree. But Owen slipped and falls on top of her]
Heather: [muffled screaming] Off of me, you big ox!
[Owen gets off Heather and she walks away in anger]
Owen: Sorry.
Gloria: That's gotta hurt. But then again, karma hurts.
[Courtney started to laugh]
Chef: Stop laughing this instant!
Courtney: I'm sorry! I can't help it! [She continued to laugh until she fell off the tree and landed safely]
Chef: I expected more out of you, soldier.
Courtney: [clears throat] Master Chief? Heh. I just have one thing to say to you.
Chef: And what might that be?
Courtney: You really need to take a chill pill. [laughs]
[Everyone was shocked by Courtney's comeback. Chef was absolutely furious]
Duncan: Now that's what I'm talking about! [Courtney high fives him]
Courtney: Okay, Geoffy, it's all up to you!
Owen: You guys okay, up there?
Gloria: Heck yeah! I can hang up here all day!
Gwen: I second that!
Geoff: Rock on, sister! I live for the head rush! Heh. [slurring] It feels… so… good. [Falls to the ground]
Courtney: Ooh! That's going to leave a mark.
[Soon enough Gwen and Gloria stood on that branch for a while. Gloria was having a nap in her upside down state]
Chef: The Screaming Gophers win! [Gwen jumped off the branch as the rest of the team cheered] Congratulations, soldiers. I'd go to war with you anytime.
Gwen: I'll keep that in mind when choosing my career.
Chef: You do that, soldier!
Gwen: Hey, Gloria! We won! We're gonna celebrate! [Gloria was still sleeping on the branch]
Owen: How is she doing that?
Gwen: Uh, she's full of surprises...
Later that night, as the Gophers celebrated not getting eliminated. Gwen was walking over to the docks to find Gloria who was feeling rather different.
Gwen: Oh, hey Gloria. Stargazing. [Gloria sighs] Hey, what's up?
Gloria: Oh, I'm still a little worried about my parents I guess. While I'm out here doing what I can to win this game, who knows what Chris is doing to them.
Gwen: Hey, It'll be okay. Besides you really helped this team out today. Your positive is starting to grow on us.
Gloria: Really?
Gwen: Yeah. And I bet your mom and dad know that you are doing all you can to save your kingdom.
Gloria: Thanks, Gwen...
[Meanwhile, back at Balsa. The fairies were continuing their training as Richter watches from his balcony]
Mucina: You think they're ready, Richter?
Richter: [takes a deep breath] I sure hope so. But I know one thing. One way or another, we'll get our kingdom and our daughter back...
[Meanwhile, Cedric was still lost in the forest looking for Gloria]
Cedric: Do not worry, princess. One way or another I wil find you...
[Split screen from Richter and Cedric just below Gloria's screen]
To be continued...
