"The feeling off not being hated is wonderful." Heather smiled, looking into the confessional camera. "No one's going to vote me off!" She cheerfully threw her hands up. "Although, everything is so... Awkward?" Heather fumbled for words. "I hated when Gwen and Courtney were 'besties' but now, I have them both wanting me. Eugh." She spat out, rolling her eyes. "Now they fight over me like some dogs over meat, but I guess I have a head up, Alejandro doesn't have this." Heather pursed her lips, looking smugly at the camera. After leaving the confessional, Heather had walked through the dining hall, she was slightly hoping that Alejandro would be there, but to her dismay he wasn't, probably scheming with his team, which was never a good thing. She had cookies from being in First Class, which smelt like candy again due to Cody and his addiction to the cavity creators. Heather heart a door open, and she had some hope it was him. Her heart sped up, and she felt her arm being tugged on. But the hands were cold, it was Courtney.
"Hey!" Heather furrowed her eye brows, it was pitch black, and she could hardly see Courtney, she was an annoyance.
"We vote for Gwen next, agreed?" Courtney wasn't really asking a question, more of a demand than anything.
"Not if you're going to try and make us lose on purpose again." Heather taunted, poking Courtney's chest hard.
Courtney gasped in shock, when in reality, she was trying to lose on purpose. "I would never! But on the off chance our winning streak does end I want a guarantee that pasty mcjerkface goes home first."
"Sure, if you guarantee you won't vote me off instead."
"Agreed."
In economy, Owen was lazing around on the cold, steel benches that were the most uncomfortable things ever. Duncan and Alejandro had found other bedding in the plane, but Owen wasn't smart enough to figure it out.
"Ugh, loser class, again!?" Alejandro hit his forehead with his palm, not hard enough to hurt himself, he was pacing with Duncan and Owen sitting in front of him. He had to think of a plan to overthrow the Amazons, they were getting clever, and now with Duncan and Gwen together, it was really getting intense.
"Pathetic. Men, we have to rise from the ashes and and ignite the fires of victory."
"I'm all for starting fires." Duncan chuckled in, slowly carving something into the walls, most likely a skull.
"Team Amazon are only strong because they have Courtney and Heather." Of course, she was always on his mind, always. She hardly left, and when she did leave his mind, she would corrupt him in the real world. "We need to break them apart. But how?" Alejandro started to think of ideas. He knew those girls would be plotting something, most likely something about kicking Duncan off because he was a dirty cheater.
"Ooh ooh!" Owen raised his hand, resembling a child in a classroom who really wanted to answer the question. "Act like you're crushing on Heather and she'll go home like Brigette and Leshawna." This somehow caught Duncan's attention, as he was relaxing he looked rather impressed. "Brigette AND Leshawna?" He asked, sitting up straighter and paying attention. "I thought I was the only guy who snagged double gold at the babe Olympics." Alejandro couldn't be caught out in his tricks.
"Uhh yes, I was truly fond of both, but sadly the fates were against us. I guess I could pretend to fall seduction, but it goes against a gentleman's code."
"There's a code for that crud?" Duncan had just woken up, and wasn't really thinking things through, his voice was groggy and croaky.
"And if I seduce Heather, Courtney will remain unaffected." Alejandro scratched his chin, trying to think of a plan, anything to make them fail, to make her fail. She was really the only thing Alejandro could think about lately. The way her shiny hair would slowly sway when she walked, the she her hips moved to the beat of her hair, and her twinkling eyes. His eyes darted onto Duncan who made a hissing sound and was beaming. "Easy, Heather's kinda into you right? So, seduce Courtney.
""Of course!" Alejandro wasn't too sure of this plan Duncan had. A part of him really liked the plan, another part hated it. "If I flirt with Courtney, it will distract both of them from the game at hand, and one will surely vote the other out." Alejandro's eyes widened in delight, the plan was delicious and could work, he was sure it would. The boost of confidence he had, he was standing up straighter and was smiling like a maniac. "Brilliant idea Duncan."
Chris made an announcement over the intercom asking all of the contestants to go to the dining room, also known as the meeting place for the two best players in the competition.
"Courtney." Alejandro's voice was soothe and calming, while he roughly grabbed Courtney's arm. It was a little confusing to her at first. "We need to talk." Alejandro lookined concerned, and his eyes widened in surprise when she said no.
"Um, whatever Duncan said about me, it isn't true." Courtney waved her arm around confidently.
"Believe me, I wouldn't listen to a word he says, in fact." Alejandro leaned in, almost kissing her ear. "I tried to vote him off." He whispered sending shivers down Courtney's spine, making her tingle.
"Really?" Courtney took a step back, her notrils flaring, and her eyes were slightly closing, she was looking worried, but beautiful at the same time. She was a magnificent human really, not as amazing as Heather, he could see her sitting down next to Courtney, her arms were crossed and she was watching the scene unfold. Duncan's plan really was working, and he was cursing himself for not thinking of it. Alejandro took a few steps back, directing his words towards Courtney, and being forceful.
"Any man who could not perceive your true worth is a fool." He was almost spitting the words out at Courtney. "What I wouldn't give..." Alejandro trailed off, closing his eyes, becoming more and more dramatic and enticing with every movement. "Uh, no." He looked hurt. "Forgive me... I've said too much." He walked off, sounding hurt. Heather knew it was an act, but she couldn't help but feel sick to her stomach, he was doing real good with this.
Heather walked up to Courtney, she looked mad, angry, she was infuriated with what was going on.
"You alright?" Heather raised an eyebrow distinctively, she wasn't going to let Alejandro and Heather happen, or let Courtney fall for him, she'd just purposely lose, again.
"Never better..." Courtney bit her lower lip, and her eyes went droopy, as she stared at Alejandro walk away.
"Al and Courtney?" Heather sat in the confessional amused by his attempt at flirting with her. "No chance. He's up to something..." Her eyes darted right, and she frowned, she was worried. When Courtney would 'accidentally' miss catching her emu, Heather knew she was trying to lose, was she playing Alejandro right back? He instantly went to Courtney's side to help her, kissing her ice cold hands, Courtney babbled on, saying how tricky was to catch an emu and how thankful she was Alejandro was around. It made Heather sick. "Look good D." Heather flirtatiously waved at Duncan, who stumbled some more on the ground. She could play him right back. Heather rode pass on her emu, while Alejandro stared at her, wondering why she was being so... Different?
"Heather's a masterful advisory indeed. She's never used flirtation before, but that could not have been true passion in her eyes, could it?" Alejandro asked getting knocked out of his trance, and worry taking control over his face. Heather wouldn't flirt with Duncan again, could she? She's been there... He remembered when she did it in season 1.
"Come on!" Heather agitated with Courtney swooped her hand forward, giving Courtney the signal to hurry up. Although Courtney told the emu to slow down. "Pick up the pace." No one was around, they had lost the rest of their team along the way.
"It's not me, its the emu." Courtney whined.
"It has a brain the size of a walnut. Take charge!"
"So, can I ask you something?" Courtney asked, a smile on her face, she was completely normal, and Heather didn't expect this question. At all. "Just between us. Are you and Alejandro are, you know, thing?" Courtney pushed the question past her lips, it was difficult to ask.
"What no!" Heather almost started to blush, she had to stop before Courtney got cocky, again. She was shocked, she didn't even need to act. "Ugh, he wishes." She tried to be more normal, cocky.
"Oh, okay then." Courtney had a soft spoken voice now, and it bugged Heather. "perfect." Just as if he had to show up on time, Alejandro came along.
"Hola Courtney. Your emu is the luckiest creature on Earth, it has the privilege of carrying you, see you at the top." Alejandro proceeded to speed up, passing them, and not taking a glance at Heather. He had to control himself, he couldn't risk it.
"Did Duncan see that?" Courtney whispered to Heather.
"He was the only one who didn't" Heather spat out. She wasn't going to try and be nice to Courtney all of a sudden, she knew that when Gwen had caught up, they would both agree on voting her out, NOT because of Alejandro, but because she was losing on purpose.
"Next time the Amazon's lose, Courtney is gone." Heather sat in the confessional scowling. "And not for making goo goo eyes are Alejandro." Heather raised her arm, pointing her finger. "As if I care about that. You saw the way she was riding her emu, she is purposely trying to lose, again."
Heather was upset Courtney didn't go. She would have left if Cody voted for her, but instead it was a tie breaker. Everyone knew who voted for who and it was awkward, and Heather could care less honestly. She wanted Courtney gone.
