I know this chapter is a lot shorter than earlier ones, but it's supposed to be the end of the last chapter. If you didn't vote, you lost your chance. Anyway, enjoy


First Campfire Ceremony

Confession Cam:

(Rufus) "I had a lot of trouble deciding who did the worst. Gail and Eddie both failed to get keys or kick that stupid dog away from our sail. However, Jamie and Paige f-ed up nailing the mast correctly, which is what eventually broke the boat. And Madison, she almost got herself killed. And her accent can get rather bothersome. Autumn, she did semi-well, I guess for a girl, got a key, managed to be one of the better rowers on the real boat of losers. Same with Alex. Oh, and Bex pushed me overboard, which, in the end, I guess was best for the team, so I'll just have to wait later for my revenge… but who to vote off."

(Madison) "Well, Ah had to go with who could have done better, and tried harder." She slips sheet of paper into voting box.

(Eddie) "I really didn't want to vote anyone off so soon, but I had to choose. I understand Gail's failure to get a key, as I didn't find one either, so I won't vote her off."

(Todd) "Awesome that Brookworm gave me the immunity, but I kind of wished she had given it to Eddie, because he's in danger of getting voted off. I don't think I would be in that same danger at all."

(Jamie) Takes a drag from joint. "Dude, this place is wicked!"

"Welcome, Howling Toucans, to your first campfire ceremony, and for one of you, it will be your last," Chris said. "At summer camp, marshmallows represent a campfire tradition and a delicious treat. Here they represent you continuation here for another challenge. There are eleven of you here, but I only have ten marshmallows on this plate. When I call your name, come up to receive your marshmallow. If you do not receive a marshmallow, you must immediately walk the Dock of Shame, board the Boat of Losers, and you can never come back… Ever.

"The first marshmallow goes to Todd." Todd walked up and received his marshmallow. "The next marshmallow goes to Bex."

"Hell yeah," Bex celebrated and grabbed a marshmallow off the plate, sticking it on the end of her long stick to roast over the fire.

"Alex." Alex let out a sigh. "Ashlynn." She smiled and took her marshmallow. "Autumn."

"That's a relief," Autumn said receiving her marshmallow.

"Rufus."

"You should have called me first."

"Madison." The cowgirl jumped up and grabbed her marshmallow happily. There were only three marshmallows left, and four Toucans without a marshmallow. "Gail, Eddie…" Chris said slowly, "come get your marshmallows."

"Yah Hoo!" Eddie jumped and took his marshmallow happily. Gail daintily picked hers up and then stood next to Alex, smiling at him.

"There are two of you left, but only one marshmallow," Chris said to Jamie and Paige. "Jamie, you seemed a little happy during the challenge, and you incorrectly nailed the mast down. Paige, you yelled at me a lot, and also incorrectly nailed the mast. So, who stays another day here, and who leaves…?"

Jamie and Paige looked at one another nervously. Jamie was a little fidgety, Paige assessed Jamie, then smiled happily and looked to Chris. Chris looked at them both long and hard, his eyes boring into them. "The final marshmallow goes to… Jamie."

"What?" Paige jumped up as Jamie received his marshmallow. "You guys voted me off?"

"Well, you did spend half the time we were building the boat complaining to Chris about the waste of wood," Ashlynn said.

"Sorry," Madison said.

"It was the right choice," Rufus said.

"Please, to the Dock of Shame and the Boat of Losers," Chris said.

"What a waste of my time," Paige growled as she stomped away. "I could have been planting trees or deworming orphans in Africa or anything but this."

"Okay, everyone, I know just the way to celebrate our first win," Genevieve said and went into her tent for a moment. She came back out with a bag of marshmallows, a large pack of chocolate, and several boxes of graham crackers.

"S'mores?" Phoebe questioned. "Are you serious?"

"Absolutely!"

"Because we're not going to be tormented with marshmallows for the next eight weeks," Walter said.

"That's why we should break them out now," Genevieve said. "Before we think of them as more than just deliciousness."

"Where did you get that anyway?" Nessa asked.

"Swiped it all from the boat while Chris wasn't paying attention and Chef was handing out wetsuits," Genevieve said.

"Awesome," Erik said. "Toss a marshmallow over here."

"Yay!" Genevieve cheered and began tossing marshmallows to everyone. "Vinson, do you want one?" she asked looking at the quiet boy.

He shrugged. "I guess so," he said. "Since I'll probably be the first to be voted off."

"Don't say that," Christie said. "You might end up being a very important part of our team. I mean, just look at your bulging muscles."

"Don't give him false confidence, Christie," Russell said. "Mr. Muggles and I both agree that he's not going to stay long."

"I almost wish we lost right now," Phoebe said. "So we could rid our team of our only weak player."

"Not to mention one snappish dog," Walter said.

"How dare you," Russell snapped. "Come on, Mr. Muggles, we're going to bed because we need our beauty sleep."

"Hey all," Todd said approaching the roaring fire not far from the tents.

"Paige lost?" Brooke observed.

"Yep," Bex said. "Hey, where's the puff ball and the gay cowboy?"

"He needs his beauty sleep," Phoebe said.

A wicked smile crawled onto Bex's face. "Do any of you guys know where Paige put that iguana?"

"I think she put it in our tent," Autumn said.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Bex asked glancing at Todd.

"I am, if you're thinking what I think you're thinking," Todd said. "I'll get the Iguana, you get the dog outfit."

Bex quietly sneaked into Russell's tent, happy to see that Russell had earphones in his ears and an eye mask on. She opened Russell's bag and managed to find a dog outfit that looked suspiciously like his own outfit.

"Guys, that's really mean," Genevieve said as Bex and Todd put the black booties, purple shirt, and black hat on the iguana.

"But, don't let any of us stop you," Erik said.

"You guys are evil," Rufus said. He then smirked. "I love it."

They carefully stuck the iguana into Russell's tent, then Erik and Manny offered their tent to Vinson, saying they'd like to spend a night sleeping on the beach. Vinson graciously accepted.


So, Paige is the first gone. Who's next? Also, I'm trying to make more people more vocal next chapter. If you haven't sent me a 'close friend' or something similar for your character yet, I just need how they look, act, and their relationship to the person. For instance, for Madison, I'm using her twin brother, Felton. It can be a friend, cousin, sibling, anyone within three years of your character's age. Thanks, and review!
