Day 18 – 4:20am – The Living Room
It was almost sunrise and Dipper was the only one in the room waiting for that phone to ring. After the phone wasn't ringing at all for the entire of yesterday, some of the housemates dropped their guard and just went back to sleep.
He wasn't all alone though for the majority of the night. Marco was there with him keeping him company until just after three in the morning when he told him that the whole thing is all fake. Dipper was about to argue with him but tiredness sat in. He'd rather conserve his energy for that blasted phone.
He was lying down on the couch when suddenly the phone rang. With all the energy he could muster, he picked it up.
"Hey, what's up Dipper?" the voice on the phone greeted.
"Who are you exactly?" Dipper asked, wondering what the heck was going on.
"It's me, Sam Pepper. Best prankster in the world!" he boasted.
"Never heard of you."
"Want to help me prank Mabel?" Sam Peppers offered.
"Uh sure! I'd love to! What is the prank anyways?"
"Easy! Tomorrow night, you & Mabel meet at the Garden and then I'll pop up as a masked person and pretend to 'kidnap' the both of you."
"Uh, actually..."
Sam interrupted Dipper before he could objectify, "Then twenty minutes later, we'll chain Mabel up onto a chair and watch you 'pretend' to die. You'll have a bag on your head and I'll have a fake gun and then you fall down. Of course you won't be dead but just pretend you are. It'll be hil-"
The phone was suddenly interrupted and a short message took over instructing Dipper to go to the Diary Room.
4:24am – The Diary Room
"You may be wondering why I brought you in today."
"Well yeah! There's no way I'm doing such an evil prank!" Dipper exclaimed, "That's the dumbest idea for a prank I've ever heard. I mean, no-one in their right mind would ever do such a horrible thing!"
"Well Dipper, you'll be relieved to hear that you won't have to do the prank. We've been hacked and also we've lost our sponsors with WWE."
"So that's why the phone hasn't been ringing." Dipper thought.
"Anyways, to compensate for the lack of phone calls, we've replaced the old weekly task with a new one!" Big Brother explained.
"Okay then..."
"Marco, Star & Sonic all know that the phone hasn't been ringing since yesterday and have been given a mission to make the others believe that the John Cena challenge is still on. Your job now is to sabotage the secret task without any of those three finding out. If no-one at all is guarding the phone for a full five minutes, the weekly task is lost."
"Seems easy enough," Dipper admitted as he got himself comfortable on the chair, "How hard can it be?"
"However, the three have a chance to guess who the saboteur is. If they guess correctly, the weekly task will still be won and you'll be automatically up for Eviction. However, if they guess wrong, you get immunity for the next nomination night. You are free to go."
"Wow, I'm going back to sleep," Dipper yawned, "I've stayed up for the entire night!"
"You should go back to the Living Room. Those three will find out there's a saboteur soon enough."
"Good call."
1:27pm – The Living Room
Eileen was confused. The phone seemingly hasn't ringed for more than 24 hours and she is starting to suspect something is up. Or maybe that's just her mind playing with her.
Tick tock, tick tock
Next to the little mole, SpongeBob clicked his tongue, emulating a clock noise, obviously bored with this weekly task. Eileen had to agree with SpongeBob, it was a lot more interesting when they were pranked by John Cena.
"So," Eileen started, "Who do you think is getting evicted tomorrow?"
SpongeBob stopped making the noise and thought for a moment.
"Honestly, I don't really know. Although I hope it's not me!'
Eileen chuckled, "You're not up for eviction SpongeBob."
SpongeBob sighed in relief, resuming the noise he was making with his tongue.
6:00pm – The Cinema
"So this is what the WWE has been changed into huh?" Marco commented as he entered the new refurnished private cinema. Sonic & Star Butterfly soon followed, both equally amazed at what was done to the place.
"I still feel guilty for pretending to be in a John Cena challenge. I mean we get to watch something tonight as a reward!" Star commented.
"Meh, I don't really care either way. Today has been so boring!" Sonic groaned, "At least we're doing something!"
The three of them walked towards the back row of the seats where three large bags of Popcorn were waiting for them with a large Cola drink situated on the respective cupholders.
As soon as the three of them sat down on their allocated seats, the speakers across the sides of the cinema crackled to life with a familiar voice greeting them, "This is Big Brother, how are you three feeling at the moment?"
"Anxious!" Marco replied.
"Guilty!" Star replied.
"Meh," Sonic shrugged.
"Anyways, even though we lost our WWE sponsors yesterday, we've got two new sponsors!"
"Awesome!" Star cheered.
"Reddit's Circlejerk Team have gave us $420,000 in money and to celebrate, we're watching one of their favourite movies, Minions!"
"Oh no!" Marco gasped, "Please no! Why can't we watch Inside Out instead?"
"Because," Big Brother explained, "Disney didn't sponsor us but conveniently enough Universal Pictures was also our second sponsor. So please enjoy the movie!"
The lights faded while the big screen in front of the cinema turned on, showing videos of a bunch of commercials about bananas.
Star looked to the side and saw Marco eating his Popcorn grumpily.
"It can't be that bad!" Star played it off as she too grabbed a handful of popcorn to shove into her mouth.
"The main characters can't even speak English," Marco replied, "They come off as obnoxious and annoying."
As Marco & Star were busy 'discussing' about the movie, Sonic just sat there quietly, not wanting to actually join in the conversation and just generally laying back and enjoying his Popcorn.
After a few minutes of commercials, the Minion's logo appeared and the three housemates went quiet, signalling the start to the movie.
7:36pm – The Cinema
As soon as the movie credits finished rolling, the lights in the cinema went bright again and the floor around the three housemates was littered in left-over popcorn. Needless to say, most of the audience enjoyed the movie.
"That was amazing!" Star cheered, accidently spilling the rest of the unconsumed popcorn onto the flood, "Those minions were so cute I wish I had one right now!"
"Star, you know they're evil right?" Marco pointed out, "That said, the movie was alright I guess. Not amazing though."
"That movie sucked!" Sonic screamed before he used his trademark speed to get out of there. It was now just Marco & Star in the cinema and they knew they were all alone now.
The two of them shared the awkward silence as they pondered to themselves what they were going to do now. Only a few seconds passed though before Marco spoke up.
"Star!"
The teen was about to walk away until she heard her name. He looked at Star with his brown eyes awaiting a response from the faraway princess.
"Yes Marco?"
Marco gulped, trying to think of the perfect combination words to blurt out.
"Uh..."
Star put a hand on Marco's shoulder, reassuring him that she was still here. Her warm smile was the reason Marco was going to say it. He had to say it now. Before it's too late.
'Star, I know this might sound crazy but I need to get this off my chest. You might be evicted tomorrow and I don't want to waste this chance to say sorry. I can't believe how much of a huge jerk I was and the way I treated you and even though we're friends now I realize I want to be more than that!"
"What are you saying Marco?" Star's eyes piped curiously.
"I'm saying," Marco paused, now willing to go full out, "If you want of course... would you like to go out with me? I really really like you Star and it sounds really chee-"
Before Marco could finish speaking, Star tightly grabbed him, hugging him really tight.
Marco was struggling to breathe with Star oblivious for a few seconds. She then let go, a lot happier than usual.
"Marco! Of course! I lost interest in Oscar a few months ago! I just didn't want to speak up because of Jackie. I thought you still liked her!"
Marco laughed, "I tried asking her out but she just wanted to be friends. I didn't really want to tell anybody about that..."
Deciding that the time was right, Star & Marco leaned in for a kiss, pressing their lips against each others. Star hugged Marco tightly while the two of them were kissing.
"That was amazing!" Marco exclaimed as they parted each others lips.
"I know." Star giggled before noticing Marco blush furiously. Star showed a smirk on her face, "I can tell,"
