"I'm surprised someone like you even signed up for this reality show in the first place."said Jaune, talking to Gwen.
"My little brother was actually behind this. I never would have signed up in the first place but he dared me to make an audition tape."answered Gwen, feeling like talking with past the time.
"So, do you want to talk until the challenge is over as I feel like talking to someone will help keep one of us at wake at least."said Jaune, as misery does love company after all.
"Well, I guess it's okay since you're the only person I can talk to right now."said Gwen, as everyone else had just given her the bad vibe.
"Wow, you really are goth."said Jaune, wondering why Gwen was so against making friends.
"Everyone thinks the world's all sunshine and rainbows but I don't."said Gwen with her usual brooding attitude.
"Hey, I completely understand, believe me."said Jaune, as where he come from he knows that the world isn't black and white, but more grey!
"And it's nice to talk to you as I have a feeling you're a nice girl."said Jaune, making Gwen smile at him.
All the while Heather watched with narrowed eyes.
Confessional-Heather
So my strategy is to get two other campers to form an alliance with me and take to the final three." Heather explained as she put a finger to her chin. "The only question is, who can I find that is either desperate or dumb enough to do whatever I say?"
What are you doing?" Gwen asked with a raised eye brow as she and Jaune looked to see Lindsay trying to stand on her head.
"Trying…to get the blood to rush to my head." Lindsay answered with a smile on her face. "Heh…I think it's working."
"Can I try?"asked Beth as she walked next to Lindsay.
"Sure!" Lindsay said with encouragement.
Heather looked at both Lindsay and Beth with a grin. Lindsay was as dumb as they could come and Beth was obviously a desperate wanna-be in Heathers eyes.
"Perfect." Heather said as she walked over to the two girls." Lindsay, Beth, can I talk to you for a sec?"
"Sure!" Both girls said in unison…both standing on their heads.
"Okay, I have a plan to get me and two other people into the final three, and I chose you guys."said Heather as she explained everything to Lindsay and Beth.
"Really?"said Lindsey with excitement.
"You should know that this is a very big deal. I am placing my trust in you, and trust is a two-way streak."said Heather, getting knots from both girls."So you'll do everything I say then?"
"Sure, eeehh! We're going to the final three!"said Lindsay with excitement, before letting out an annoying shreek.
Confessional-Beth
"Oh, my gosh! Heather is taking me to the final three! I'm going to the final three! I'm going to the final three! I wonder what will happen then?"questions Beth as she thought about it.
"Speaking of alliances, you know who I think is really cute?"said Lindsay she was looking at Jaune, who is currently talking to Gwen.
"Oh no. No, no, no. You can't date him."ordered Heather, confusing Lindsey.
"Why not?"question for dumb blonde.
"Because we don't know anything about him! We don't know where he comes from or what his motives are! We have to consider him a wild card and even though he's on our team we can't trust him."explained Heather as she pointed at the young man in question.
"Uh huh..."said Lindsay although she didn't appear to understand.
"You can't take the wild card. It's like, against the alliance rules."added Heather.
"There are rules?"questions Lindsey.
"Remember what I just said about trust Lindsey?"said Heather, getting a nod from Lindsay."Of course you could always leave the alliance. If you do though, I can't protect you from getting kicked off."
"No, I want to be in the alliance!"quickly answered Lindsey.
"Good, then it's settled."said Heather before she walked off, with Beth following soon after.
Tyler meanwhile waved at Lindsay but she ignored him, infuriating the wannabe jock.
Confessional-Tyler
"I was supposed to hit on Lindsay and get her to date me! But that Jaune guy had to kill the roach and impress her. Well two can play that game my friend!"said Tyler as he pointed his finger at the camera.
"Come on, Killer Bass! Let's show the screaming Gophers what we're made of!"said Tyler with all of his energy, although none of his teammates seem to be as motivated as him.
With Eva, she was currently sitting next to both Bridgette and Geoff while listening to heavy metal music on her MP3 player. The athlete then stood up as she put her MP3 in her pocket.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Eva told everyone as she headed towards the bathroom area. But as she walked, her MP3 player fell out of her pocket.
Heather watched this happened and a smirk came to her face. The light black-haired girl walked over to where the MP3 player fell and looked around to make sure no one was watching. Once she determined the coast was clear, Heather did some stretching motions and sneakily picked up the music player. But as she did that…
"I don't believe that belongs to you." Heather gasped and quickly hit the MP3 behind her back as she looked to see Jaune standing behind her.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Heather said with feigned innocence. "I was just doing some stretches to help stay awake."
"Oh really?" Jaune wasn't buying anything Heather was giving him and pointed to the hands she was hiding behind her. "Because I just thought I saw you pick up Eva's MP3 player."
"Hehehe, I'm pretty sure I did no such thing." Heather shook her head, not looking Jaune in the eye.
"Now if you excuse me, I have to meet up with the rest of team." But as Heather tried to walk away, Jaune stepped in front of her and halted her path.
"Eva will be back any minute and I'm pretty sure that delinquent over there saw you. Now what do you think Eva will do to you when she finds out you took her MP3 player?"questions Jaune, causing Heather to quickly look behind her and see that Duncan had spotted her.
"Hello gorgeous."said Duncan with an evil wave.
"Now give it to me and I'll take the heat as we both know Eva will kick the crap out of you if you don't give it back."said Jaune, willing to take the heat for Heather despite him not trusting her.
"Um, thanks."said Heather as she gave him the MP3 player before she quickly retreated back to the rest of the screaming gophers.
"Give this to Eva."said Jaune, before he tossed the MP3 player to Duncan.
"Why did you save Heather when she's clearly mean?"asked Gwen, wondering why they're mysterious teammates stood up for a mean girl like Heather.
"She maybe mean and bossy but I don't want her to get put in the hospital just because of her bad choices. My friends would never forgive me if I allowed someone to get needlessly hurt."said Jaune, knowing one particular would defend even the worst bully in case of an emergency situation.
"Wow, that's Noble."said Gwen, who was impressed with Jaune.

(24 hours later)
The challenged was now at the tweny four-hour mark. On the Screaming Gophers side, Owen, Izzy, and Noah had all fallen asleep with everyone else looking exhausted and ready to fall anytime now. All expect Justin who was standing firm, unmoving with his chest puffed out and his eyes wide open.
On the Killer Bass side, Bridgette, Katie, and Sadie were all knocked out. Everyone awake was in a similar position to most of the awake Gophers with the exception of a still wide-awake Sammy and Courtney who, while tired, kept running in place.
"Congratulations, campers!"said Chris as he watched the completely exhausted and sleep deprived campers from next to the metal barrier.
"You've made it to the twenty-four-hour mark. Time to take things up a notch!" Everyone then watched as Chris pulled a sheet off of what was revealed to be a large stack of books. "Fairy Tales!"
"Oh, he's not serious!" Gwen complained as that was one of the last things she wanted right now.
Chris then cleared his throat and got ready to read…only for a harp to be heard as everyone watched and laughed as Chef came up next to Chris wearing a pink sheep costume. Chef growled as Chris and a few others laughed at him until the host clear his throat again and started reading from the book.
"Once…upon a time…there was…inside this boring kingdom…a boring village. And inside this boring, sleepy, village…filled with very boring children…that did very…boring things."
The story actually ended up getting quite a few yawns from some of the campers. It even managed to get a member of the Gophers out. Cody, who proceeded to lay asleep on Owen's but…only to be woken up by Owen farting, but he was still out.
More time passed as more and more campers kept falling like flies. It got even worse when Chef, now dressed up like a ballerina, started dancing around with Chris playing The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy on a radio as Chef through some sort of sleep inducing sparkles on the other campers with these sparkles managing to knock DJ out as he tied himself to a tree…causing the tree to fall.
"Timber..."said an exhausted Gwen.
"I hope he's okay."said Jaune, as he figured DJ was a nice guy and didn't deserve to get hurt, although he did wonder how tying himself to a tree was going to keep him awake.
"Your too nice for your own good, you know that."pointed out Gwen.
"Maybe, but I think kindness goes a long way as even the darkest soul could be helped with a little bit of kindness here and there... after all I once saved my bully from being attacked by an Urs-grizzly and now we're kind of friends."said Jaune, making Gwen look at him with a raised eyebrow.
"You stood up to a grizzly to save your bully?"questions the goth girl.
"I just let it away so that he wouldn't have been killed."said Jaune, although Gwen got the feeling that he wasn't telling the full truth.
"Wow!"said the goth girl who was impressed.
(Hour Forty)
"Come on guys! we need to show the Screaming Gophers what we're made of!"yelled Tyler who was still awake.
Confessional-Courtney
"I figured that if I kept moving, I could outlast all of them." Courtney explained her strategy on constantly running in place. "I just had to keep my eye on the ball."
"Courtney, you can't keep this up or you're going to pass out."said Sammy were concern as it look like at any moment Courtney was going to collapse.
"I just need to keep my eye on the ball.."said Courtney as she continued moving.
"Why do I bother?"question Sammy before she passed out, eliminating herself from the Challenge.
We should talk about our strategy." Heather said to Lindsey, not noticing Beth was no longer sitting next to her.
"Huh...?"said Lindsay before she passed out.
"Beth?"questions Heather as Beth also passed out, eliminating both her and Lindsay from the Challenge.
"So, why did you come to this island?"questions when she was talking to Jaune.
"I kind of had to do this in order to fulfill this end of the deal I have with this guy I know. He said there was no other way and...so that's why I'm here."said Jaune, once again being vague about his origins.
"I guess I like the mysterious types."said Gwen under her breath.
"What was that?"asked Jaune, who wasn't paying attention as he almost fell asleep.
"Nothing!"quickly said Gwen.
"The moment would have been sweet…had a now naked Owen not sleep walked past them. Both of their eyes slowly widened as they looked to where Owen was laying previous and saw only all of his cloths scattered about. They then watched as Owen, still sleep walking, headed into the woods.
Comfessional–Owen
"Did I mention that I ate the entire dish of baked beans and maple syrup?" Owen sheepishly said. Funny thing about baked beans,...they make me sleepwalk."
Look at him. He's like a statue." said Trent as he, Jaune, and Gwen looked in amazement at Justin who was still standing tall and firm with wide unblinking eyes. "He hasn't moved in over…fifty hours! Hello? Yo!"
"Yip! Yip!" Both Trent and Gwen yelled and made wild movement to try and break Justin's concentration. "Yip, yip, yip, yip, yip!"
"Amazing." Gwen couldn't help but be impressed by the unbreakable wall that was Justin. "Look at the concentration."
That is when Jaune touched him and it was revealed that Justin had been asleep the whole time... he had just painted over his eyelids.
"His eyelids are painted! I saw that!"said Eva, getting Chris's attention.
"No way, I got to see this."said the host as he made his way over to Justin.
"That is so crazy incredible! But, you're still out, dude."said Chris, causing Justin slump down a bit as the Gophers were down another member.
(Much later)
Lots happened during the last few days of staying awake. Duncan made Harold pee his pants by sticking his hand in warm water.
"No way, it works! Dude peed his pants!"said Duncan as Harold woke up and noticed that his parents were covered with urine, causing the poor nerd to scream before he realized what the bully had done to him.
Noah kissed Cody's ear while they were both asleep... before both of them woke up and began screaming at one another as soon as they realize what just happened, and the still sleep walking Owen swam up a waterfall with salmon. The only remaining campers were Gwen, Trent, Jaune, and Heather of the Screaming Gophers and Duncan, Tyler, and Eva for the Killer Bass.
Gwen let out an incredibly loud and long yawn, "I'd kill for a coffee right now."
Gwen then groaned out, feeling absolutely miserable.
"What's the matter with you people?" Chris asked as he walked to everyone while, as if taunting Gwen, holding a coffee. "Come on, fall asleep already!"
Just then Gwen crawled up to Gwen with the goth tugging his pants. "You've gotta hook me up, man."
Gwen begged for any form of caffeine. "I'll even eat the grinds! Anything!"
Chris pulled away from Gwen as the host looked to the remaining campers. "Alright, you seven stay with me. "The rest of you go get a shower, for heaven's sake. You stink!" Everyone did as they were told as Heather, Gwen, Trent, Duncan, Eva, Tyler, and Jaune stayed with Chris while all the other campers heading out to either take a shower or pass out somewhere else.
Chris took a long mocking sip of his cup of coffee as the remaining six campers sat down on the stumps. "I didn't want it to come to this, I said that to Chef Hatchet last night, I said, 'Chef, I don't want it to come to this." Chris explained from behind the metal barrel. "But darn it, these campers are tough." And so…I've come up with the most boring, sleep-inducing activity I can find."
Confessional-Gwen
Oh come on! What now?" Gwen yelled before crossing her arms. "Okay, you know what? Bring it on!"
Chris then grinned as he pulled out an incredibly large red book.
"The History of Canada." Chris narrated in a soft voice before opening up and revealing a pop-up of a beaver. "Chapter One: The Beaver, National symbol and a dam fine hat." Duncan, Eva, Gwen, Heather, and Trent all groaned, while Tyler glared at Jaune, who was oblivious to the hostility from the wannabe jock.
And so Chris read and read and read. He read the book in a soft narrator-like voice and it sure as heck did trick of boring the campers to sleep as Heather and Eva soon passed out. And it wasn't long before Trent was seen falling off his stump.
"Trent! Noooo!"yelled Jaune, and despite calling out to his teammate, Trent fell flat on his face and was out cold. "Don't leave us!"
"Ha... looks like you're one down!"said Tyler mockingly.
"Yeah, my team is the winner, right Duncan!"said Tyler to the delinquent, only to be surprised when he saw that Duncan had been out cold, leaving Tyler the last member of the Killer Bass!
"Looks like we got this!"said Gwen to Jaune... before she fell.
"Gwen!"said Jaune, before he grabbed Gwen like a princess to keep her from falling on her face.
The goth girl meanwhile didn't notice as she was fast asleep.
"Oh come on! Why am I stuck on the team with girls I'm not even interested in! And the one girl I am interested in is attracted to you! I should have been on the screaming gophers!"said Tyler with anger as his teammates looked at him and gasped.
But before Tyler could notice something went through him and he passed out.
"And Tyler is down! Which means the Killer Bass are eliminated! Jaune is the only one standing of the Screaming Gophers so that means the screaming Gophers win!"declared Chris, as Jaune decided to take Gwen to her bed so she can get some sleep before he went to his bed so he can get some much-needed rest.
And as he passed his teammates Owen and Justin gave him a thumbs up, confusing the young man as he escorted Gwen back to her cabin and helped her into her bed before he made his way out of the room, and ended up passing out before he reached the boys side of the cabin.
"Good work, Blondie."said Leshawna, before she helped her teammate get back to his bed.
"Killer Bass, I'll see you tonight."said Chris, as the Killer Bass looked at their teammate Tyler with angry glares.
-=O=-
(That Night)
Once again, it was time for the elimination ceremony to begin. The still completely exhausted Killer Bass were all sitting on the stumps with the fire crackling in front of them. Chris was at his spot behind the metal barrel holding a plate of ten marshmallows. Eleven Bass would soon become ten, and twenty three campers would become twenty two.
"You've all cast your votes and made your decision." Chris said as many of the Bass rubbed their eyes and yawned."There are only ten marshmallows on this plate. When I call your name, come up and claim your marshmallow. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow must immediately return to the Dock of Shame, catch the Boat of Losers, and leave. And you can never come back. Ever."
Chris repeated what he told the Bass during the very first elimination ceremony as a few of the Bass managed the strength to tense up. "The first marshmallow goes to…Sammy" Chris called out.
"Yes!" Sammy cheered as she walked up to Chris and quickly ate the marshmallow given to her.
"Courtney. Duncan. DJ . You're safe, for now."said Chris has each camper got up to collect their marshmallow.
"Harold. Geoff. Bridgette."said Chris, causing the next three campers to get up to collect their marshmallow.
Only Eva and Tyler remained... and both of them were nervous as they had no idea who was going to be sent home.
Would Eva be sent home because of her behavior the last several days with her temper?
Or would it be Tyler who was the last to fall!
"Campers, this is the final marshmallow of the evening." Tyler and Eva tensed up incredibly as they looked to see one last marshmallow on Chris's plate.
One of them would be going home and could never return to the island. "And the last marshmallow of the night goes to…" Both Eva and Tyler gulped as they slowly looked to each other, waiting in anticipation for who would be getting the last white sugary treat.
"...Eva."finally said Chris, making the sports girl get up and quickly collect their marshmallow.
Tyler's mouth went agape as Chris approached him
Tyler stood up with a lowered head as Chris gestured to the dock of shame. "Sorry dude, dock of shame is that way."
Tyler sniffled a bit as he started heading to where Ezekial walked down a few days ago.
"The rest of you are safe... for now."said Chris as the rest of the Killer Bass began roasting their marshmallows.
Meanwhile Heather had seen the whole scene go on from a nearby bush, and she looked.. confused.
Confessional-Heather
"I should be happy as we now have a huge number of advantage over the Killer Bass. But they still have a strong player like Eva with them. I suppose I should not be mad at Jaune because he did save me from getting beat up, but he still help ruin my plan! He may be cute, but mark my words. At the end of this I'm going to be the winner and no one is going to stop me!"said Heather as she pointed at the TV camera.
And there you have it everyone...Phew... it was not easy completing this.
The next chapter won't be out for some time as I come up with a new idea for a challenge that hasn't been on the show yet... so be patient in the meantime and I hope you read my other stories as I work on this one.
I hope this story continues to grow in popularity, and I will see you all next time as I hope you have a great rest of the day.
