Cody was having a normal day, so suddenly appearing in a gray room was not what he was expecting. The room was slowly changing between different colors of gray. After a moment of confusion, he began walking. He didn't know what was compelling him to do so, but for some reason he had to go forward. For some reason, the room kept expanding, turning into more of a hallway. He kept on walking with nothing changing. The same fading grey colors flashed throughout the hallway.
After a walking for a while, he noticed a figure slowly coming into eyesight. Cody studied the body figure. He then determined the owner of the body. His long time crush, Gwen. He tried to approach her, planning to ask her what was going on. As soon as he came up to her, however, she put her hand up. She was obviously trying to get him not to talk.
"Why do you have a crush on me? After numerous failed attempts, you still adore me. After every insult, slap, crotch hit, and tease, you still pursue me. Why? Why can't you just take a hint? Why don't you leave me be?" Gwen asked. Cody was shocked. He was about to answer, when he realized something. He didn't have an answer. He didn't know why he loved her. Gwen had rarely done anything nice to him. Why did he like her.
Cody felt something, however. When he thought about him loving her, he felt a pang in his stomach. The brown-haired boy didn't know why, but he knew it had to do with what he had said. Had he finally gotten over Gwen? Surely not, right?
Suddenly, Gwen faded away, leaving nothing but the grey hallway and Cody inside of it. Once again, he began walking forward again. He turned right and saw someone hunched over, sniffing a sock. The figure was tall and had a long braid. Cody could only think of one person that this could be. Sierra. Cody was lucky enough not to come in contact her, but he heard her making satisfied noises. SHe must have been happy to find that sock.
For the third time, he continued walking. And once again, he found another figure. This one was closer to the shape of Gwen, but also different. When he got close enough, he noticed the short brown hair protruding out of the figure. Courtney appeared to be walking towards him as well. After a bit, they got close enough for them to be able to talk to each other.
"Do you still love Gwen?" Courtney asked. She had a serious look on her face. Cody so surprised by the question, that he didn't respond.
"So you do. After all that she's done to you, you chase her. She hits and berates you, but you love her. Why?" she asked. Cody realized this was very similar to Gwen's rant. They really would've been good friends.
"I-I don't love her. It's just-" Cody was defending, but he got interrupted.
"Just what? Don't you understand? You're so insensitive." Courtney interrupted harshly.
"What don't I understand?" Cody asked.
"This" Courtney replied. Before Cody could even question why she only said "this", she cupped his head in her hands and kissed him. Cody eyes bulged out of his head. He became stiff with confusion. And with that, he woke up.
Instead of waking up peacefully, however, he felt something touching him. It felt wet and sloppy. He opened his eyes, and saw Sierra. Cody instinctively pulled back and screamed. While everyone else was already awake, they were half-asleep. They all shot up, looking for the source of the noise. They pinpointed Cody, clinging to his chair, screaming.
"Agh! What happened? Why are you waking us up!?" Heather asked.
"S-S-Sierra w-was k-kissing me!" Cody stammered.
"No, I saw Cody making kissy lips, and I just knew he was dreaming of me. So, as a present, I gave him what he wanted." Sierra defended.
"Right, sure. Of course he was dreaming of you. He couldn't have maybe been dreaming of Gwen?" Courtney said, quite dryly.
"HMPH!" Sierra said, turning around.
"Attention ex-campers. Please proceed to the dining area for an announcement." the intercom rang out.
"Oh great, what now?" Gwen asked.
As they walked into the dining area, they noticed Team CIRRRRH surrounding Chris.
"What's going on?" Cody asked.
"Well, you won't be able to happily hop of the plane. This is more of a non-landing flyby." Chris announced.
"Fun..." Courtney said.
One by one, the contestants dropped out. Courtney jumped out first, followed by Alejandro, Duncan, then Gwen. Owen said something about not hitting his crotch on the ground and/or a cactus. From the noise they heard, he had not accomplished escaping pain. Heather jumped next, leaving only Cody and Sierra.
"So, Cody." Sierra started. "We're up here all alone, and-"
"NOPE" Cody exclaimed, jumping out of the plane.
"Cody come back!" Sierra shouted, jumping after her crush.
After a couple of minutes, everyone got to the starting line, and Chris explained the rules. With him finishing his explanation, the contestants went on to try to get their emus.
Cody was struggling to get his emu. After a while, however, he was able to get it. After looking up after getting his emu, he noticed only Alejandro and Heather had gotten their emus so far. He looked around, seeing how everyone was doing. Gwen and Duncan were trying, and failing, to help each other. Owen had gotten an emu, but he needed a second one to get on. And finally, Sierra looked as if she was getting pecked to death by an emu.
Lastly, Cody laid his eyes on Courtney. She was obviously having trouble. Cody decided to help her out.
"Hey, it looked like you needed help. I have an easy emu, here. You want it?" Cody asked.
"What? I'm not struggling. You're struggling. Of course I don't want it!" Courtney resisted.
"Well, you don't have an emu yet, so you could use a little help." Cody countered.
"I don't want it!" Courtney continued.
"Fine, fine. Just, don't be too late." Cody gave in.
Deciding it wasn't worth arguing with her, Cody got his emu to trot away.
While not encountering anything along the way to the finish line, Cody ended the race very tired. He pretty much collapsed from the heat. Heather, Alejandro, and Gwen had beaten him. After begging for a bit, Chris reluctantly gave a sip of water.
After a long time, Sierra, Duncan, and Courtney had gotten there. Owen was still missing.
"All right Team Amazon! Now, you must hook yourself up to the bungee cord, and drop. Then, while at the bottom of the bungee cord, you must grab a sheep. Once you get back up here, you will shear the sheep. If your sheep has a tattoo of your team symbol, you win immunity. Only three have your team's symbol each though.
Heather decided to go first. She hopped off, and brought a sheep up with her. Gwen grabbed the razor and started shearing.
"Come on! Hurry up! We don't have all day you know!" Heather bossed.
Before Heather could complain anymore, however, they heard the annoying little chime.
"Singing time!" Chris announced. Everybody groaned.
Shearing sheep, don't be a creep
It's the only way we'll fly first, peeps
Win the game, don't be so lame
Try to lose this and your face I'll maim
Shear the sheep, then with a smile
Make yourself a giant wooly-wooly-wooly pile
You had your chance, you turned him down
So don't be giving me no cranky frown
We are shearing sheep
We are shearing sheep
We are shearing sheeeeeep
Sierra then ran onto the stage, hugging Cody. Chef hauled her away to protect Cody.
Shearing sheep instead of you
Only cause you don't have any, a-tattoos
I'll find a logo, we'll win again
And I'll be here until the bitter end!
We are shearing sheep
We are shearing sheep
We are shearing sheeeeep!
The song ended, leaving Team Amazon to notice Owen had arrived. Alejandro was handed a pair of rusty scissors.
"What are we supposed to do with these?" Alejandro asked.
"Shear the sheep!" Chris replied.
Duncan decided to try to show off and jumped off. When he got back up, everyone noticed he had grabbed a cactus, causing Cody and Courtney to burst out laughing. Duncan scowled at them. Alejandro grinned at this, knowing it was throwing everyone off their game.
"Courtney! Stop flirting with Duncan, and get over here!" Heather yelled. Apparently, Gwen had jumped and gotten a sheep. After shearing it, they noticed there was no tattoo. Sierra suddenly ran of the cliff, screaming it was for Cody. Cody then picked up the harness, realizing that she jumped without it. After landing, she was taken off by the medics.
Alejandro jumped off the cliff, grabbing a sheep. They cut off the wool, and saw that it had a tattoo. Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot cheered, knowing Team Amazon was going t their first elimination.
"Ugh! Good job team! We failed! And it's all your fault!" Heather yelled.
Cody started thinking about who would get eliminated. Cody then realized something. Either Courtney or Gwen were going home, both being good friends of his. He got an idea, realizing it would save both of them. And Cody knew just what he had to do.
Cody walked up to Gwen, who was sitting on a rock nearby. He chose her instead of Courtney because she is less stubborn.
"Hey Gwen, I have an idea."
"What? What kind of idea?" Gwen asked.
"An idea to save you from being eliminated." Cody revealed.
"Right. We vote off Courtney." Gwen said.
"Wrong. We vote off Heather. It's out best shot! If we voted off Courtney, we know Sierra and Courtney would vote for you, and us for Courtney. Heather is the swing vote. We don't know who she'll vote for. If we vote for Heather, I can get Sierra on my side easily." Cody explained.
"But, then later, if we lose it'll be a tie breaker." Gwen countered.
"But at least you'll make it that far." Cody said.
"Fine, but we'll get Courtney off next." Gwen said.
"Of course" Cody ended.
Cody then went on to find Sierra. Out of the
"Hey Sierra, can I ask a favor of you?" Cody asked.
"Sure, honeybuns."
"Don't vote off Heather." Cody said.
"Why?" Sierra asked.
"Because I like her. I want to date her. So, please, don't vote her off." Cody fake pleaded.
"W-what?" Sierra asked with her head twitching.
Cody ran away before Sierra could flip out. Cody decided to just shuffle some cards he had, trying to learn new, cool ways to shuffle.
After awhile, Chris announced the elimination ceremony would begin. Cody walked to the elimination room, hoping his plan had worked.
"Alright, Amazons. Your first elimination this season. Nice job! Anyways, just go in the confessional, and stamp the passport of the person you want gone! Cody first." Chris explained.
Cody walked into the confessional/bathroom. He looked at the passports, and stamped down Heather's. He looked up, and said "I hope this works."
He walked out and sat on the bleachers.
"Courtney, your up!" She got up and went into the bathroom.
She walked out with a smug grin on her face.
"Gwen!"
Gwen slowly got up, and got into the voting room. When she walked out, she shared a hopeful glance with Cody.
"Heather, your turn!"
Heather, like Courtney, went in, voted, and walked out with a grin.
"Sierra, you're last!" Chris said.
Sierra slowly stumbled into the room, sniffling. When she got in there, she started bawling. After about a minute, Chef forced her to vote, dragging her out.
"Alright! Time to read the votes!"
"One vote for Gwen!"
"Another, for Gwen!"
"One for Heather!" Heather looked shocked at this statement.
"A second for Heather!"
"And finally, the final vote goes to…"

"Heather!"
"WHAT!? HOW DID I GET ELIMINATED?" Heather yelled.
"Sorry, but you're outta here!" Chris said.
"That's what you get, Cody-stealer!" Sierra exclaimed.
"What?" Heather asked. Before she was able to get an answer, however, she was shoved out of the plane.
Courtney had a similar face to what Heather had.
"B-but.. W-... how?" she asked, dumbfounded.
"Cody, what did you tell Sierra?" Gwen asked.
"I'll explain later." he replied.
"I don't think this was the right idea" Gwen said.
"Don't worry about it!" Cody said, not realized what Sierra was capable of.
