By the way, this chapter will be LONG!

Chapter thirteen - Coconuts and Tribal Council

Nova walked along the beach, looking for a suitable coconut to take back to the contestants. But the only ones she found were the pinks ones used in the latest task. The monkey sighed. They would have to do. She scooped them up and ran back to camp.

------

"How long does it take to get coconuts!" complained Otto. "I want coconuts, but there's none left!"

As if on cue, Nova appeared through the trees with her arms full of bright pink coconuts. "These were all I could find!" she gasped, for those coconuts were heavy.

"Any coconut is good enough for me!" burbled Otto, and grabbed a bright pink coconut and cracked it open. The milk looked slightly pink, but Otto slurped it down. "This is good!" he said, turning to the others. "Try some!"

Chiro shrugged, and grabbed a coconut. The others followed his example. Soon, all that was left of the coconuts were the bright pink shells.

"They were nice!" said Sparx. "Did the host use food colouring or something?"

"Probably." said Otto. "Get some more, Nova!"

Nova shook her head. "We need to save them." she said. "I couldn't find any other coconuts, these are our last bunch."

A huge groan broke out.

"What?" said Nova. "We must eat the food sparingly!"

"It's not that!" said Chiro. "Ugh... I think I've been poisoned!" He clutched his stomach and lay down.

If Otto could've gone green, he would have. "I feel sick!" he moaned. "I need a drink!" And the green monkey ran off to the fresh-water stream. Gibson, Antauri and Sparx followed, all looking a bit sickly.

Nova felt a jab in her stomach, and realised the host must have used something bad to colour the coconuts. She sat down next to Chiro, sweating.

"I think we've got food poisoning!" groaned Chiro.

"Nah." said Nova. "Can't be that bad!"

Chiro stood up. "I'm gonna find the host!" he said, but he fell back down. "Well, I'll find the host when I feel better." And he fell asleep.

Gibson returned with two coconut shells (a normal one, not a pink one) full of water. "I figured you and Chiro would want some." he said, handing her a coconut shell.

Nova grabbed it and drank all the water. "Thanks, Gibson." she said, and fell asleep.

The host walked into the camp, and saw Nova and Chiro fast asleep. "OH MY GOD!" the man yelled. "THEY'RE DEAD!"

"No they aren't!" said Gibson. "They're asleep. But you've poisoned us all with your pink coconuts! We all feel sick!"

Chiro woke up, spotted the host, and sat up quickly. "You... you poisoned the coconuts!" he roared. "I'M GONNA SUE YOU!"

The host frowned. "I didn't poison them!" he said, confused.

"What did you use to make them pink?" asked Gibson.

"Well, I live on this island to keep an eye on you, ya know." the host explained. "So I couldn't use paint or food colouring coz I didn't have any! So I mashed up prawns and coloured the coconuts with that!"

Gibson glared at the host. "I think those prawns were rotten." he muttered.

The host thought deeply. "Yeah, they were." he said. "I can't eat rotten prawns, so I used them to colour the coconuts."

Chiro stood up, looking very angry.

"Come on!" said the host desperately. "I never expected you would eat the coconuts!"

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Chiro shouted, and leapt at the host. The poor man jumped out of the way, and ran off.

Chiro groaned. "I forgot how sick I am." he said. He spotted the coconut shell with the water. "Anyone want that?" he asked.

Gibson nodded. "I do."

"Too bad!" Chiro snapped, and grabbed the coconut shell. Before Gibson could blink, the water was gone.

Otto returned, looking a little better. "I'm never eating coconuts again!" he muttered.

Sparx, who was right behind Otto, still looked very sick. "I'm never eating pink coconuts again!" he muttered. Sparx and Otto lay down and fell asleep.

Antauri emerged from the trees, looking worse than ever. "If you would excuse me, I am going to sleep." And the black monkey followed Otto and Sparx's example, and fell asleep.

Soon enough, all the contestants were asleep, with Otto's arm around Mr Jeepers.

------

The next morning arrived, and Gibson had already been awake for hours. He had been up long enough to go on to the beach, grab the coconuts that had fallen off the trees that night and brought them back to camp.

Antauri woke up, still looking a bit sick. Then he spotted the coconuts, and a feeling of distaste came over him. "No thanks, Gibson." said Antauri. "I'm not in the mood."

Chiro woke up, feeling much better. Then he saw the coconuts, and instantly rediscovered his sickness. "Thanks, Gibson, but I'm not really that hungry."

Everyone else woke up, and quickly edged away from the coconuts.

"For monkey's sake!" cried Gibson. "They're just silly coconuts!" And as if to prove it, he cracked one open. Rotten milk poured out.

"You were saying?" said Sparx, looking at the lumpy milk on the ground. "I don't think that's as tasty as you thought it would be."

Chiro looked around. "Where's Chira and Chiroo?" he asked.

Antauri looked around. "I don't know." he said. "Wait a second..." he turned to Nova. "How many pink coconuts did you take from the beach?"

"All but two." Nova replied. "You don' think...?"

Suddenly, a wailing sound echoed across the island. It sounded like Chira and Chiroo had eaten something bad.

"Yes." Antauri replied gravely. "I think they have found the coconuts."

With Otto carrying Mr Jeepers, the contestants ran down to the beach, where Chira and Chiroo were rolling around in the sand.

"Those coconuts were bad!" cried Chira. "They hurt my stomach!"

"We've been poisoned!" wailed Chiroo. "I don't like coconuts anymore!"

Chiro rolled his eyes, picked up the pink coconut shells and chucked them at the twins. Perfect shot - they were bonked on the head.

The twins cried harder. "Now I have a sore stomach AND head!" screamed Chiroo. "I hate this island!"

"Right - THAT'S IT!" yelled Chiro. "I'm going to do us all a favour and get these losers off the island!" Chiro stormed off to the host, who was sunbathing a few meters away.

"Hey!" Chiro shouted. "Get up! I have a complaint!"

"What?" mumbled the host. "I'm busy, okay? Come back when I'm not sunbathing."

Chiro picked up sand and chucked it all over the host. "GET THOSE DUMB CLONES OFF THE ISLAND OR I'LL SORT THEM OUT MYSELF!" he yelled.

The host spat out a mouthful of sand, and sat up. "You have a lot of nerve, don't you?" he muttered.

"I've had practise." said Chiro. "Now get rid of the twins!"

"Fine! Fine!" said the host. "But don't interrupt me again!" He pulled out a mobile, and called someone.

A few minutes later, the host put the phone away. "Nope, they won't get rid of the twins. They say they watch Survivor every evening, and they like it when the twins annoy you."

Chiro was outraged. He was being tortured for entertainment! He chucked more sand on the host and stormed off.

"OH MY GOD!" Chiro yelled, back with the other contestants. "They won't take the twins off the island! Just because they like it when I'm being tortured!"

"Do not stress, Chiro." said Antauri. "They are only clones, and we will not be on this island any longer."

"Quiet, Antauri." snapped Chiro. "I... I..." Chiro stopped. "Where's Nova?"

"I don't know." said Antauri, looking around. "As a matter of fact, where is Nova, Otto and Sparx?"

They looked around. The three were nowhere to be seen.

------

Sparx, Nova and Otto were walking along the beach, wondering how to get off the island.

"We could built a rocket!" said Otto. "And blast our way to the Citadel of Bone, and Skeleton King would send us back to Shuggazoom City!"

Sparx shook his head. Otto's ideas were creative, but impossible.

"How would we build the rocket?" said Nova. "We don't have the equipment. And Skeleton King wouldn't send us back to Shuggazoom."

Otto's face fell. Then he grinned. "Skeleton King would be jealous that he got voted off!"

"You know what?" said Nova. "Skeleton King and Mandarin's heads are like... art. Skeleton King is... cubism, and Mandarin is..." Nova paused. "What would Mandarin be?"

"Surrealism." said Sparx. The three monkeys burst out laughing.

Nova stopped. "Guys, there could be cameras around here!" she said.

"So?" said Otto.

"Skeleton King and Mandarin could be watching us right now." said Nova slowly. "They would have heard us."

The monkeys looked around for cameras. Sadly, they didn't see one right in front of them, hidden in the sand.

------

Skeleton King and Mandarin stared at the small television in front of them. Mandarin frowned. "What's surrealism?" he wondered aloud.

"What's art?" Skeleton King asked himself.

The evil idiots shrugged, and continued watching Survivor Shuggazoom.

------

Evening came. The contestants made their way to Tribal Council, ready to vote. Sparx, Nova and Otto were planning to vote of Gibson, and Otto wanted Mr Jeepers to vote for Gibson as well, so that was four against Gibson.

"Place your vote... Mr Jeepers." said the host.

"I'll put the vote in for him!" offered Otto.

"Yes... do so." said the host. Gibson groaned. He could already see who was going to leave next.

At the end of the voting, the host grabbed the jar thing and counted the votes. In the end...

... the score was Otto, one vote. Gibson, five votes. Sparx, one vote.

The host turned to Gibson. "Gibson? Please bring your flame forward. You are the next to leave Survivor Shuggazoom."

Gibson brought his flame forward, and host extinguished it. "Gibson..." said the host. "The tribe has spoken. It is time for you to leave."

"Wait!" said Chiro. "Gibson? Please don't take it personally!"

"Oh I won't!" said Gibson happily. "I'm finally going home! No more coconuts! No more apples and fish! I'm going home to my experiments! AT LONG LAST!"

Chiro was a bit amazed, he thought Gibson would lose it.

"Contestants?" said the host. "There is six left. Antauri, Chiro, Nova and Mr Jeepers - hand up your Immunity necklaces, please."

Antauri, Nova, Chiro and Mr Jeepers' shell necklaces were removed, and handed to the host. The contestants then made their way back to camp.
