Powerhungry Polar Bears

In a park far enough from the school, the Populars were cheering.

"Wow, can't believe we snuck out!" Heidi exclaimed in excitement. "While I wouldn't do this kinda thing in actual school, I still feel excited to do something... out of character!"

"Yeah, and besides... That King Henry the Asshole was... Well, an asshole." Kade replied back, grinning.

"So, we have the rest of the day to do stuff. What do we do?" Steph asked.

"Well, once Stella gets back from doing some shopping, how about we enjoy the scenery? Catch a movie, eat at a cafe..." Twiggy replied. "Its bound to be fun for a good day off..."

"Plus, Chris wasn't too vague with his orders for this challenge. All he said was escape, and that was it." Ada commented. "No additional details, or anything..."

"Yeah..." Grace said out loud, as she ate an apple. "Unlike yesterday when someone shot Chris outta nowhere."

"Yeah, what was he thinking?!" Ada shouted out loud. "I'm not ready to tackle a murderer, especially someone who owns a FIREARM!"

At that time, Stella came walking back with a small bag in her hand. "I'm back!"

"Wait, you were gone?" Heidi asked. "I should keep more of a track on my teammates..."

"So, where you run off to?" Verna also asked back.

"Um, I was only going to get some chocolate bars for us." Stella said, smiling, as she gave Drake a Crunch bar.

"Thanks, Stella." Drake said with a smile.

"And one for the three party people." Stella replied, as she gave Ada, Kade, and Nicholas a Snicker's each.

"Thanks, Stella!" Nicholas said out loud with a smile.

"Well, now we have something to fork over to any cranky grannies..." Ada grinned, as Kade and Nicholas stared at Ada. "What? Have you ever tried to cure someone's crankiness with a Snicker's bar?"

Stella gave Verna a Kit Kat bar, as she opened said candy bar, and smiled as she snapped it apart, and bit into one of the pieces.


Confessional: Give me a break!

Verna: While I may be the most popular girl in school, even I can't resist a Kit Kat bar.


"So, what do I get?" Steph asked.

"Um, some Gummi Worms? Sorry, it's all they had!" Stella replied, giving Steph some Gummi Worms, as Steph started to eat them.

"Okay, THESE worms I like. But I'm not eating the pineapple flavored sides, got it?" Steph ordered.

"So... I was thinking." Twiggy commented, biting into a Twix. "What's the difference between Double Dare, and Super Sloppy Double Dare?"

Thunder shrugged. "I dunno. More slop? Makes more sense than how a snowcone got into the Hidden Temple."

Steph smiled deviously as she got close to Drake.

"So... Drake?" Steph asked. "I heard you talking about someone named Karen last night. Wanna fill me in?"

Drake was confused. "Um... What? I don't know anyone named Karen..."

"Funny... I thought you did... Must be a dream I had." Steph commented, as she did some thinking, as...

"A-HA!" yelled out a voice belonging to a rather large male. It belonged to a rather strong and tall male wearing a blue jacket. On the elbows appeared to be brown patches, they were wearing beige pants, and all in all, looked intimidating.

"We've FOUND you!" Another voice yelled out loud, also tall and strong and wearing the same outfit.

"We?" Kade asked, looking around. "All we see is two people!"

The two large people looked at each other with a confused look.

"Err..." Korpse said out loud. "When did you get the Prefect's outfit from Bully?"

"Korpse, I don't think NOW'S the time to make gaming references." Verna commented.

"You group of foul students are skipping class!" The first large person commented out loud.

"Skipping? You kept ALL of us prisoner and FORCED us to write about some dead king who is most likely burning in hell for beheading his several wives!" Steph snapped at the two.

"And besides, I haven't even dealt with durian fruits during the show yet, so I know I can't be foul!" Grace said out loud.

All of a sudden, a ring tone started to ring out from someone's pockets.

"Wait, whose phone is that?! Don't we see we're about to be scolded by two gorillas in ugly suits?" Steph yelled out.

"Hang on, it's my phone." Nicholas said out loud, as he sighed in embarrassment and answered it. "Great, mom... Now EVERYONE knows my current ringtone is Hey Mickey... Hello?"

"Nick! Way to have an 80's song for your ringtone!" Chris commented out loud, chuckling in the background.

"Ada, after this challenge is over, PLEASE change my ringtone." Nicholas said to Ada.

"Will do, party student!" Ada replied back with a salute.

"Anyways, your objective is to guide your team to one of three safe spots. If any part of your body such as touches the safe spot, you're safe." Chris said over the phone.

"Even if I hurl a prosthetic at the safe spot?" Kade asked. "Cool beans!"

"And where are said safe spots?" Nicholas asked.

"Simple. I uploaded a map for you that you can share with the other teammates. Your team can stick together and have the Officers chase you around, or you can split up and hope you don't have to deal with the Officers. The team that gets to the safe spots first, or with the most still running around by the end of the challenge wins!" Chris said over the phone, as it hung up.

Nicholas looked at the team. "So... Who's got a iPhone that can download the map?"

"I do!" Steph commented, producing an iPhone. "I can DL the map from your phone."

"Okay... Who else?" Nicholas asked. "How about you, Verna?"

"Nope. I don't have one..." Verna answered. "Ask someone else?"

"Er, I got one!" Twiggy replied, exposing her iPhone. "I use it for looking up recipes."

"Okay, then... We can split into groups of three. With there only being two Truant Officers, it'll be easy enough to get to any safe spots there happens to be." Nicholas said out loud. "Now, we ready to rock?"

"You DO know we can hear you!" The Truant Officer said out loud.


Confessional: Hear no Evil

Nicholas: As student president, I'm sure this strategy can work! Or mess up big time. Still, I have faith on my team.

Verna: Okay, I lied... I do have one, which I got as a Christmas present. I didn't speak up because... I have a background pic of Minun on it... Palling it up with a Drifloon.

Drake: -Chuckles in embarrassment- Karen... She doesn't mean Karen from Harvest Moon 64? ...Yeah, she's a bit too spicy for me. I'm more of a Popuri fan. Or a Maria fan, anyway.


Giggling Gryphons

In another part of town, the Geeks was commenting on various stuff. Ellis was still ashamed at what he done.

"I dunno why I did it..." Ellis said, looking down. "I know it was to make for a diversion, but I..."

"Hey, it was for the best." Marissa replied, reassuring Ellis. "You had to make a diversion, and our fingerprints would have gotten on the handle."

Ellis smiled at Marissa. "Yeah, and plus, it was part of the challenge, right?"

With Cherri and Benny, Cherri was dropping some pieces of chocolate nearby an ant hill.

"So, Cherri... You sure the ants'll eat it?" Benny asked.

Cherri grinned. "You know it! They took my swiss roll from me in Kindergarten, remember? And that thing's mostly chocolate."

Benny smiled. "You know, I wonder what a chocolate filled Swiss Roll would taste like..."

"Idea for the future, man!" Cherri said out loud.

Nelson was hanging with Sting, talking about stuff.

"So, what's your favorite game?" Nelson asked.

Sting smiled. "I'm kinda a fan of Nintendo... Mostly the Animal Crossing series. Heck, I even brought two New Leafs, turning one into some sort of goth settlement."

"Goth? Like what Korpse is?" Nelson asked, as Sting nodded.

The Cheerful Emo then grinned. "You like her, don't you?"

Nelson turned around in embarrassment. "What, I do not!" He said, blushing.

"The heart says it all." Sting replied with a smile.

Sting then looked at Moana, with a smile on his face. Nelson grinned, knowing it was his chance to get revenge.

"You like Moana, do ya?" Nelson said out loud.

Sting blushed in embarrassment. "What? She's only a friend!"

"Sure, she is..." Nelson commented out loud, tracing a heart with his finger. "The heart says it all."

"Aw, shut up." Sting replied with a playful grin as...

"HEY!" A voice shouted to the group of Geeks as they looked at where the voice came from.

Two rather tall Truant Officers, dressed in the same clothing as the Popular's Truant Officers, was leering at the group.

"Um, who are you insufficient hounds?" Yentoulis asked.

"Talking back to a superior is not welcome in a school environment!" One of them yelled out loud.

Benny sighed. "Great... Of all the people we get scolded by... We end up with one that's a Kiyotaka Ishimaru wannabee..."

"Also, body piercings aren't welcome in a school environment!" The same truant officer said out loud.

"Hey, what gives?!" Cherri yelled out loud. "One of the girls at the Gym had two eyebrow piercings, her nose pierced on both sides, a septum piercing... I'm kinda jelly, to be honest."

"So, you mentioned to Yento that you're our superiors." Moana said out loud. "Exactly what do you mean by that?"

"My name is NOT Yento..." Yentoulis said back to Moana.

"Our TASK is to get YOU lot back into class... Where YOU belong." The first truant officer replied.

All of a sudden, someone's iPhone started to ring.

"Um, while I think Final Fantasy 4's Boss Theme is appropriate music, there's no WAY we can beat them!" Ellis said out loud. "It's basically a Run or Die situation."

"I... think this is my phone." Marissa commented, as she answered said phone. "Hello?"

"Marissa! Nice ring tone! Though I still have problems with Culex." Chris commented. "Maybe I should try the Lazy Shell... Anyways, like I told the Pops, your objective is to guide your team to one of three safe spots. If any part of your body such as touches the safe spot, you're safe."

"Makes sense." Marissa said out loud. "Where are said safe zones?"

"Simple, Ms. Dungeon Queen. I uploaded a map for you that you can share with the other teammates. Your team can stick together and have the Officers chase you around, or you can split up and hope you don't have to deal with the Officers. The team that gets to the safe spots first, or with the most still running around by the end of the challenge wins!" Chris said over the phone, as it hung up.

Mozart looked at the two, waiting around. "So, think we should split into groups of two?"

Marissa did some thinking. "Hmm... Makes sense... Although I never had to skip class before. Not even for huge game releases..."

"Waiting is not allowed in a school environment!" The second truant officer yelled out loud.

"Urgh, let's go with the plan and download the map to Mozart's phone, okay?" Yentoulis commented, as Marissa did just that.

"Okay, now's lets flee!" Marissa said, as they started to make a break for it.


Confessional: Hurry! Hurry!

Mozart: Wait... How did Yento know I carry an iPhone with me? I invented several apps for mine.


With Drake, Stella, Heidi, and Grace, they were running away while being tailed by a Truant Officer. Drake and Heidi were the fastest of the two, as Grace and Stella were behind, with Grace shaking her head.

"Hide in a restaurant... Real nice plan if you're not allergic to collard greens... What was I thinking?" Grace said out loud.

"Hey, I didn't know Drake was allergic." Stella replied. "And it was pure chance that it would be the special for that day."

"Plus, they're quicker than us." Grace commented. "How can we catch up to them if they're fast?"

"I dunno, but a sweet person like Drake doesn't deserve to write about that jerk King Henry the 8th j!" Stella said out loud.

"I'm starting to think they named Henry from The Good Son after the buttwipe." Grace commented.

"Okay, now you're just being silly." Stella replied, sighing.

"STOP, so we can catch you!" The Truant Officer yelled out loud.

"Hmm... Hang on." Grace said, as she took out a banana from behind her back.

Stella was surprised. "Hey, how do you do that?" she asked.

"Fruit farmer's secret." Grace answered, as she started to eat the banana in a few gulps. Now with the leftover peel, she grinned. "Let's see if this idiot can handle a little slickage..."

Grace threw it behind her, as the Truant Officer slipped on the banana peel, falling down in the process. He quickly got back up, though.

"Funny... Thought that could buy us some time... It always worked in cartoons." Grace said to herself.

"Nevermind that, look!" Stella replied. "Drake and Heidi's going into an alley!"

Grace then looked at Stella, and grinned.

"See you after class, Starfruit!" Grace commented, while smiling, as she stopped, leaving Stella to look back, as Grace was captured by the Truant Officer.

Grace... You sacrificed yourself for me..." Stella said to herself. "I dunno why, but... I owe you big time..."


She soon caught up to Drake and Heidi, who was hiding in the alley.

"Stella... I wondered what happened to you." Heidi said out loud. "And what happened to Grace?"

"I... think she gave herself up to buy us some time." Stella replied.

"Aww, why would she do that?!" Heidi shouted out loud. "I was gonna share some Starburst with her later on!"

"Um, I think we should hide... Now." Drake replied, as he eyed a rather large cardboard box. He then smiled. "...And I've got an idea."

He motioned the two girls to get into the box, and he closed it, as the Truant Officer came by. Looking into the alley, he sighed as he saw nothing but an alley and the large box.

"Okay, I could have swore I saw the two go into that alley..." The Officer said to himself. "...I must be imaging things again."

He then took his leave, as the box opened, revealing the three, climbing out.

"Well, King Kong thinks we split." Heidi commented. "But we shouldn't celebrate yet. We're down by one player, and it's most likely 2nd Quarter."

"Yeah, you're right." Stella said, as she smiled at Drake and patted him on the back. "Nice plan with the box!"

Drake couldn't help but smile. "Thanks, Stella."


With the Party Duo and Nicholas, they were walking around, instead of running.

"So, Ada? Explain why you suggested to walk, instead of run?" Kade asked. "I can run, too."

"Er, yeah... About that..." Ada replied out loud. "It's a long story..."

"Flashback time?" Nicholas asked.

"Er... Nah. Not right now." Ada answered.

"So, would we put you down for a CPP when that does happen?" Kade asked.

"Er, what?" Nicholas asked back.

"Um... I kinda do Edgics on TV shows just for fun when I'm not partying." Kade replied. "I even did an edgic on Rugrats!"

Ada was then given a paper. "Wow, Angelica got a LOTTA N tones... And a Double Tone N for The Trial."

"Yeah... Angelica was a brat." Kade replied back. "A pure and simple brat."

"There you are!" A voice belonging to a Truant Officer said out loud.

"And here's Mr. Double N Tone right here." Ada commented.

"And here's Miss Smartmouth!" The Truant Officer replied. "Don't you know you're skipping out on a essay that's 99% of your final grade?"

Nicholas sighed. "Dude, its summer. I don't think this test counts towards any grades."

"Well, now it's our job to take you back where you belong. We already caught your fruit obsessed friend with the fruit painted on her cheeks." The Truant Officer commented.

Ada snapped her fingers in frustration. "Damn... They must have caught Grace."

"And now, it's your turn." The Truant Officer said out loud.

"Crap... Time to bail from this party, guys!" Kade replied, as the three started to make a break for it.


The trio was continuing to run for their lives.

"Guys! We gotta keep up!" Kade yelled out loud in a worried tone. "I do NOT wanna end up in Detention for the next 70 years!"

"Plus, I'm not the most athletic one of the bunch." Nicholas also said. "Doesn't help that I never been chased by a giant, before."

"Your school had peeps that were normal sized?" Ada asked, as she was quickly downed. "Owww!"

"ADA!" Nicholas and Kade yelled out loud, as Nicholas ran over to Ada's side.

The Truant Officer grinned, as he looked above Ada and Nicholas. "Your day off is O-V-E-R, OVER!"

Just then, the Truant Officer was whacked to the ground. Ada and Nicholas could see that Kade was holding one of her prosthetics as a weapon.

"Quick, while he's down!" Kade said out loud.

"How do we get outta this mess?" Nicholas asked. "Ada's currently in pain."

Nicholas then scanned the current area they were in, and got an idea.

"Okay!" Nicholas said in triumph, as he picked up Ada. "Think you can hang in there for a short moment Party Palette?"

"I sure hope so, Party Pal..." Ada commented.

The trio, Nicholas and Kade holding Ada, got to what appeared to be a bike. On one of the sides, appeared to be a side-car.

"Quick, get on the other bike." Nicholas said out loud.

"Wait, what?" Kade asked, alarmed. "Is that, like, theft? I don't want a star on my wanted level!"

"Yeah, but it's our only way to escape, currently." Nicholas replied. "I do promise to return the bikes back to their owners afterwards."

"Well, when you do put it that way..." Kade commented, as she left a note on a sign on the bike rack.

"Okay, let's rock." Nicholas said, as he pedaled his feet off, with Kade following aside them.

"Er, Party Pal?" Ada asked. "You know where one of the Safe Spots are at?"

"Well, I read the map. There's one about three miles close to here. If we can get there before King Ghidora decides to think up the same plan, then we should be golden." Nicholas said, smiling.

"Wow, you're picking up some lingo, buddy!" Kade replied with a grin.

Nicholas couldn't help but blush.


Confessional: It's a bicycle built for two!

Nicholas: Wow, I'm not sure why Ada was just in pain like that... Hope she'll be okay.


With Korpse, Thunder, and Twiggy, they were just walking around.

"So... We're such a silent bunch, are we?" Twiggy said out loud.

"Yeah, we've don't have much in common between us and Korpse." Thunder replied. "I mean, I don't play many games."

"Yeah. Besides, I suck bad at games, anyway." Twiggy said out loud. "Still... Korpse?"

"Yeah?" Korpse replied.

"You said you were part of the Lobster family, and was born with a silver spoon in your mouth, huh?" Twiggy asked, as Korpse nodded. "Do you have any butlers or maids?"

Korpse chuckled. "Yeah, but I usually do my own thing, anyway. I even cook my own meals sometimes!"

"So..." Thunder said. "Do you eat stuff like Peking duck, actual lobster, and all that rich people food?"

"Actually..." Korpse replied with a giggle. "I usually go for a cheeseburger. Just a normal cheeseburger, at that."

"Cool." Thunder said, smiling.

"So... How good are you, huh?" Twiggy asked.

"Eh, I'm not Martha Stuart caliber, but I'm decent enough." Korpse replied, grinning.

"Yeah... Same here." Twiggy said out loud, sighing.

Thunder looked at Twiggy. "Hey, don't feel down. You're a fantastic cook!"

Twiggy beamed at that. "Really?"

"Yeah! Who else can add in an unique spice into foods?" Thunder said, with a smile.

Twiggy smiled back. "Thanks, Thunder."

Thunder blushed at that. "Um... T-Thanks."


Steph was hiding in an alley, with Verna in tow.

"Nice going, Verna!" Steph snapped at Verna. "You just HAD to be distracted."

"Me?!" Verna snapped back. "YOU were the one that said to the Officer that they were giving out free copies of CoD! ...And I don't think they play CoD! They play Battlefield."

"Whatever, I need you for a distraction." Steph said out loud. "I want you to have him chase you. While you're on the run, I can sneak to the Safe Zone. Simple as that, right?"

"Wait, then that means YOU'LL get to the Safe Zone, and not me. That doesn't seem fair." Verna answered.

"Yeah... Neither is revealing your big secret... Pokemaniac." Steph replied back, while filing her nails.

Verna sighed. "Ugh... Fine, I'll do this..."

Verna walked out into the open, looking for the Truant Officer, as Steph made a break for it.

"Er, Truant Officer?" Verna asked out loud, as the Officer spotted her, and started to chase after her. Verna started to run as a result.


Giggling Gryphons

Ellis, Marissa, Benny, Cherri, Mozart, and Nelson was talking about stuff.

"So, Cherri? Bug Quiz." Nelson said out loud. "Where would you find a Goliath Beetle?"

"Simple: They're usually found in African forests, and are among the largest beetles in the world." Cherri explained.

"Wow, very impressive... Guess you ARE an entomologist." Nelson replied with an amazed look on his face.

"Hey, you have any questions about bugs, feel free to ask away!" Cherri said, rubbing Nelson on his head.

"Yeah, bugs are awesome. I raised some ants in an ant farm when I was six." Marissa commented.

"Really? At age 6? Lucky; I raised them at age 7!" Cherri replied.

"Um, dudes?" Mozart said out loud, pointing at the direction in front of them...

A Truant Officer was waiting for them.

"Time to get BACK to class..." The Officer said out loud.

"Quick, guys! Run!" Benny shouted out loud, as the campers took Benny's lead. He lead them to what appeared to be the Outskirts outside of town, with the Truant Officer tailing the four. Soon enough, they crossed what appeared to be a rope bridge, which appeared to be made sloppily, almost like it was for the challenge.

"Hurry, cross it!" Ellis said out loud, as the 6 crossed the bridge.


Now across the bridge, the Geeks looked at themselves.

"We may be far from him... Doesn't matter, because he's gonna cross that bridge any moment now." Nelson replied.

"Not if I have anything to say about it..." Benny said out loud, as he pulled out his sword.

Cherri was alarmed. "You mean to tell me... You had your sword on you... ON SCHOOL GROUNDS?!"

"The wonders of hammerspace can do some amazing things, Cherri. Now, then..." Benny replied, as he slashed at the ropes holding the bridge together. The ropes gave way, and the bridge soon fell apart, and the boards floated downstream, as the Truant Officer approached. "Try to cross NOW, sucker."

The Truant Officer shrugged, as he started to continue walking, right into the river... It took only a few moments, but he soon surfaced... On the OTHER SIDE!

"Not radical, dudes." Mozart commented, looking wide-eyed.

"Yeah, what is he, part Diving Beetle?!" Cherri also said out loud.

"Now that's just plain trolling... And I know trolling. RUN!" Nelson shouted out loud, as the six started to continue making a break for it.


They continued to run away from the Officer, as they started to lose steam.

"Seriously, I didn't run this bad since I captured a Queen Yellow Jacket for research purposes!" Cherri complained. "I was intending to release it back into its hive!"

Mozart was confused. "Um... Should I even ask why?

Marissa was doing some thinking, and suddenly got an idea.

"Guys, keep going! I can attempt to stall him!" Marissa said out loud.

"Wait, how?" Ellis asked.

Marissa winked. "Trust me on this one, cutie. Now RUN."

Ellis nodded, as Marissa stopped in her path, as she stared down at the Truant Officer. She looked up at the tall Truant Officer, and grinned.

"You... Shall... Not... Pass!" Marissa yelled out loud.

"Wait, what's Marissa doing?" Nelson asked, looking back.

Back with Marissa and the Truant Officer, the Truant Officer was indifferent, as he picked up Marissa, and ran off with her under her arm.

"Crap, that creep caught Marissa!" Nelson replied. "We gotta save her!"

But before Nelson could run after the Officer, Ellis grabbed Nelson's arm.

"No, Nel... It's too late." Ellis replied. "She did her part. We'll see her after the challenge, though."

"Still, we gotta get moving." Benny said out loud. "That dude could be back, or he could double-team on us with his friend."

"Yeah, you could be right." Nelson replied, as the group continued to run.


Meanwhile, with Moana, Olivia, Sting, Ron, Xantara, and Yentoulis, they were running for their lives.

"Body piercings are still not allowed in a school environment!" The Truant Officer yelled out loud.

"Hey, it comes with the Emo package!" Sting replied back.

"Personally, I think it makes you more unique, Sting." Moana said back.

Yentoulis was struggling while running. "Guys, hold up! I gotta..."

"No can do, Yenty." Ron replied back.

"It's NOT Yenty!" Yentoulis yelled out loud. "It's Yentoulis! Get it through your thick skull!"

"So, what can we do to lose him?" Xantara asked.

"Kicking him may be outta the question." Moana replied. "Dude may be too ripped to even feel that."

"Should we sic Yentoulis on him?" Ron asked.

"I heard that." Yentoulis replied back, looking a bit annoyed."

Olivia grinned at that fact. "Think if I get captured, he'll take off his shirt?"

"Err... After last night..." Sting commented. "I think that would be a BAD idea."

"Aw, come on!" Olivia complained. "That only happened ONCE!"

"I still remember, and I quote..." Ron said out loud. "Wanna be my honey bun of a slab of hotness... You said that to a Duncan poster you put up."

"Hey, it looks good next to that poster of..." Olivia commented. "Um... What's that game with the blocks that's on that poster, Stingy?"

"Minecraft?" Sting answered.

"Yeah, that... Not that I care about that..." Olivia said out loud.

"Hey, took me a while to find a good biome to start with." Sting said back. "But in the end, it was worth it. I went with Jungle Biome."

"I went for Tundra Biome, myself." Moana replied with a smile.

"HEY! Talking about Minecraft Biomes is against the rules of a School Environment!" The Truant Officer yelled out loud.

"So is running!" Olivia replied back, as the group started to run. However...

"Curse my slow legs..." Moana said, as she saw her group run farther and farther. "I gotta think of something..."

She then noticed a stream, which was leading down a river. An idea soon sparked in her mind.

"Well, guess I'm taking a dive... Literally." Moana said to herself, as she reached into her pocket, and put on some googles. Taking a deep breath, she jumped into the stream and dived in. Swimming fastly, she was far away from the Truant Officer, well adjusted in her environment.

"Where did she go?!" The Officer said out loud. "Doesn't she know that swimming in rivers is against the School Environment?"


Under a bridge, Moana resurfaced, as she took a huge breath of relief.

"Whew, that was close..." Moana said to herself. However...

"Boy, I'll say..."

Moana looked at the direction to see what appeared to be a homeless person, with wild hair sticking out.

"Aren't you one of those fresh-water mermaids from that cartoon that I heard about?" The homeless person asked.

"Um..." A confused Moana answered. "I don't kinda follow... I may be a marine biologist in training, but I wasn't born OF the sea."

"Darn it, I was wrong, again!" The homeless person said in frustration, before pulling something behind his back. "...Rat on a stick?"

Moana turned green at the gills. "Er, no thanks... I'm a vegetarian."


Back with the remaining Geeks, they were catching their breath.

"Hey, guys? What happened with Moana?" Sting asked.

"Um..." Olivia replied back. "I think she got captured."

"Aww, dammit!" Ron cursed. "You just HAVE to be the bearer of bad news."

"Somehow... I wouldn't think so." Xantara replied back. "We just gotta press on, until we get to the Safe Spot."

"Yeah, and we may wanna make it quick." Sting said back. "He could double-back."

"And I highly doubt hanging around won't do us any good in a school environment." Olivia replied, as everyone looked at her in concern.

"Er... Are you feeling okay?" Ron asked, confused.

"Nothing, Ron." Olivia answered. "Nothing at all."


Confessional: Yeah, Olivia's a strange one...

Olivia: YES! Moana got captured! Now she won't get in my way into wooing that bad heartthrob!

Sting: I'm starting to think Olivia has a crush on me... But I don't wanna break the truth to her. But still... -His eyes turn angry- If that guard harms a blue hair on Moana's cute head...

Moana: Okay, I lied. I'm not a vegetarian. I had to say that so I wouldn't have to eat a dead rat... I don't think a shark would touch that stuff.


In a classroom devoid of any decorations, instead of some chairs, desks and a TV, Marissa and Grace were looking around.

"So... How you got captured?" Grace asked.

"Er, I tried pulling off a Lord of the Rings." Marissa answered. "I knew what I was getting myself into. So, how about you?"

"I went down fighting a Truant Officer armed with nothing but a pineapple, a slingshot, and 12 grapes!" Grace said out loud, as Marissa continued looking at her. "Okay, fine. I sacrificed myself. There, you happy?"

Just then, the door opened, and Verna was tossed in... Literally.

"Ow, be careful, you overgrown dorks!" Verna snapped.

"You got captured, too?" Marissa asked.

"What's it to you, dorks?" Verna said back, as the intercom went on.

"You three lot were found skipping class... For that, you SHALL be punished." The voice behind the intercom said out loud.

"What is it? The Garbage Pail Kids Movie?" Grace replied back.

"No... WORSE... You shall be watching... The Oogieloves!" The voice said out loud through the Intercom.

Both Grace and Marissa's heart sank like a stone, as they hugged each other.

"NOOOOOOOOO!" They both shouted out loud.

Verna sighed in annoyance. "Ugh, you lot wouldn't last two seconds if Twilight was on."


Confessional: The author saw The Oogieloves at a Livestream. His mind was BROKEN.

Verna: -She looks at the camera with a disapproving look on her face- No... That movie was WORSE than Twilight... And this is a KIDS movie. No kid would wanna see that! -She then stares at the camera in anger- My BRAIN is HURTING! If I see those bastard butterflies ONE more time... Their asses, if they have one, is a Grass Type!

Grace: I... have a STRONG hatred for balloons, now. And butterflies telling me to dance.

Marissa: That movie was horrible... But when a cutie like Grace was just as horrified like I was... Yeah.


Drake, Heidi, and Stella were still running. They were running at a moderate pace, so Stella could keep up.

Wow, who knew that dude could hear a sneeze from far away?" Heidi asked out loud, looking at Stella.

"I tried to warn you that I was allergic to Asparagus." Stella replied.

"Yeah, who knew that farmer's market was having a sale on it, today?" Heidi commented.

"Stop right there!" The Officer yelled out loud.

"Not to mention a sale on giant gorillas." Heidi commented. "We gotta bail, and FAST."

Heidi did some scanning around the area, and got an idea. "And I know the place. Follow me, guys!"

Stella and Drake looked at each other, as they shrugged and started to follow Heidi, into what appeared to be a building. Little did they know, they didn't notice any of the wiring, attached to some dynamite...


Once inside the building scheduled for demolition, the trio stopped for a moment.

"Okay, let's split up and confuse the dude!" Heidi said out loud, as she and Stella went into some other rooms. Heidi went into what appeared to be a bathroom. She picked up a newspaper, and began to read it.

"Patriots win, 59-0..." Heidi read to herself. "Wow, talk about your curbstomps."

Stella ran into a bathroom, which was a dead end. Before turning around, she read one of the writings on the walls.

"McLean is a..." Stella read, as she shuddered. "Yeeeeeaaaahhhh, no. I am NOT reading that last word."

As for Drake, he kept on going straight, as he heard some creaking.

"Whoa... Better slow down, before..." Drake commented to himself.

Slowing down, he then started to walk slowly. He was at the exit of the room, until...

"I got you NOW..." The Truant Officer said out loud, as Drake turned around.

"No, no! Stop!" Drake replied back, and waved his arms, knowing what could happen if the Officer tried to run.

"What, me stop? This is the GOOD part! Busting a bully like you? Time to pay for your crimes!" The Officer replied, as he started to run.

"No no no..." Drake said out loud, looking REALLY worried.

"Yes, Yes, YES!" The Officer snapped back, as he ran towards Drake, but...

CRRREEAAAKKK...

SNAP!

The floor under the Officer gave way, as he was now hanging from a broken board. Under him was a solid concrete foundation, and it looked like falling onto it at a large height could seriously damage a body.

"Crap... HELP!" The Officer yelled out loud in panic.

Drake looked at the rather large hole, and instantly started to run to the officer. However, the officer's grip gave way...

"AAAAAAAHHHHH!" The Officer yelled out loud...

...As Drake managed to grab onto the officer's hands in time.

"Hang on... We'll get you up." Drake said out loud, as he looked around. "Stella? Heidi? Little help?"

"Look, man! I'm sorry for calling you a bully!" The Officer replied back, close to tears.

"Look... Just remain calm. My friends'll come shortly." Drake said, as both Stella and Heidi came into the room, to see Drake hanging on to the Officer, and struggling to do so.

"Drake! Dang, man... What happened?" Stella asked.

"No time to ask, Stella!" Heidi replied back. "He may be a Truant Officer, but he's still human."

Going around the hole, they managed to sneak close to Drake, and grabbed onto Drake's hands.

"Now, when we say 3, we pull." Stella ordered, as Drake and Heidi nodded. "1, 2, 3, PULL!"

The three of them pulled the Officer out of the hole. He was back on solid ground in moments.

"I... Don't know what to say..." The Officer said, looking down and breathing deeply. "You... saved my life."

"Think nothing of it." Drake replied back.

Just then, a small explosion was heard.

"The hell was that?" Heidi asked, as another explosion was heard.

They could see at the entrance that the building was exploding... With them INSIDE it.

"Guys? ...We may wanna start running NOW." Stella said, as the four started to make a break for it. Dodging any falling debris from the ceiling, they managed to escape from the building, just as it collapsed from above the 4.

They looked back at the rubble of what once was a building. Heidi was staring at it with a shocked look in her face.

"Oh, no..." Heidi thought to herself. "It's all coming back to me..."

"Somehow, I don't think that was part of the challenge..." Drake said out loud, as he looked at the Truant Officer. "You okay?"

"Yeah... I'm good.." The Officer said out loud. "Look... You get going."

"Wait... You're letting us go?" Stella asked. "Why?

"What do you want, a written invitation?" The Officer answered. "Get going..."

"You got it." Stella replied, as she grabbed ahold of Heidi's hand. "Let's roll, Heidi and Drake."

Heidi snapped back into attention. "Er... Yeah, let's. Let's roll like a cruller!"

"Er, what?" Drake asked, confused.

The three of them ran, as the Truant Officer looked at the three.

"...Thanks, guys... For saving my life." The Officer said to himself, as he watched the group run off.


Confessional: What a rescue!

Heidi: Er, yeah... Sorry about what happened to me back there...

Stella: Wow, I never thought I would be running outta an exploding building like one of mom's action movie heroes.


The three ran, just in case the other Officer was chasing after them. Soon enough...

"Look, it's the Safe Spot!" Stella shouted out loud, as the three crossed into the Safe Spot. Chris soon rang on Stella's iPhone.

"Stella! Drake! Heidi! Congratulations for making it to the Safe Spot!" Chris said through the phone.

"Awesome!" Heidi replied with a grin.

"All right!" Stella also said, smiling.

Drake nodded in approval, with a smile on his face.


The Party Trio were riding down on their borrowed bikes, with Nicholas looking at Ada with concern.

"You hanging in there, Ada?" Nicholas asked.

"Yeah, I'll be okay, Nick." Ada replied with a smile. "I... just acted careless, that's all."

"Still, I gotta wonder... What caused your leg to act up like that?" Kade asked.

"Well... All I can say is that I'm REALLY jealous of Twiggy's skills." Ada said, as the trio turned the corner. "Well, here we are!"

Stopping the bikes, they stepped out, as Nicholas' phone rang. "Congratulations!" Chris said over the phone. "You, Ada, and Kade made it to one of the designated Safe Spots! And don't worry. The bikes? Well... You kinda are accidental heroes?"

"Accidental? How?" Kade asked, as the video on the phone switched towards the OWNERS of the bikes... Getting arrested.

"Well... They tried to stick up the place. And without any bikes to get away with, they were quickly arrested for grounds of armed robbery." Chris commented.

"Well... Talk about convenient." Nicholas replied. "What would they going after?"

"Money, jewelry... And a jukebox that played all of ABBA's latest hits." Chris said, grinning as he shut off from the other end.

The three looked at each other, and shrugged.


Twiggy, Thunder, and Korpse were running away from a Truant Officer.

"Stop right there, now!" The Officer yelled out loud.

"Oh, jeez." Korpse commented. "This is buying the last copy of a hit game all over again! Or buying a Nintendo game during a CoD release!"

"Aww, geez... Do they really do that?" Twiggy asked.

"I never knew how fast 9 year olds could RUN after I brought a copy of Harvest Moon!" Korpse said out loud. "Virtual farming's MUCH better than shooting an ISIS member in the balls!"

Thunder was puzzled. "Err, aren't they in a different name? I mean, they're lame, anyway, but..."

"Whatever, here we are!" Twiggy shouted out loud, as the trio came running towards the Safe Spot... Only to find...

"About time you showed up."

"Steph?" Korpse asked. "You got here first?"

"Guilty, as charged." Steph smirked back. "Still... We're here, now."

Steph's iPhone started to ring, as she answered it.

"And you four are at the Safe Zone! Congratulations!" Chris shouted out loud. "But, did you do better than the Geeks? You'll have to wait and find out."

Steph turned off the iPhone, as the four sat down.

"So... What do we do, now?" Thunder asked.

"Um... Cook?" Twiggy answered. "I always carry portable cooking equipment with me."


Giggling Gryphons

With the hobo, Moana was yawning in the middle of the hobo's stories.

"And that's how I ended up as top supreme rat chef supreme." The hobo said out loud, while biting a bit off of his cooked rat. "Sure you don't want some?"

Moana turned super green as a result, and walked outside the bridge. The hobo looked at Moana, and shrugged.

"Oh, well... More for me, then." The hobo commented.

With Moana, the Truant Officer walked up to her, and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Before you capture me... Just... give me a moment." Moana said out loud, as she ran to the river and began to retch loudly.

Everyone was still running from the Officer, but they were getting a tad bit tired. The skies were clouding up.

"Geez, how CAN we get away from this guy?" Nelson asked, as he tripped. He was promptly caught by the officer.

"S***t! They caught Nelson!" Olivia replied back. "I'm going back for him!"

"Olivia, wait!" Sting cried out loud, as he could only watch Olivia get captured.

"This challenge is turning UNCOOL, dudes." Mozart commented out loud. "Both Nelson AND Olivia got captured, as thus Moana and Marissa!"

"As long as nobody else got captured, we should be golden!" Sting said, as he looked up. "Hmm... Looks like rain."

All of a sudden, the clouds above seemed to open up, as it started to rain.

"It IS rain..." Benny replied, as the group stopped, and the Truant Officer caught up to them.

"Guess we're captured, now?" Mozart asked, as his iPhone started to ring. "Hello?"

"Geeks! I kinda forgot to watch the weather forecast this morning... Therefore, the challenge is hereby cut short, due to rain!" Chris said out loud.

"But wait, who won?" Benny asked.

"Just wait until you all are back with your teams, okay?" Chris replied.


Once at a designated point, the teams were waiting to see who won. Ellis was busy consoling a shaken Marissa.

"Marissa?" Ellis asked. "You okay?"

"I seen some things, man... Things you do NOT wanna see..." Marissa said out loud.

"Just... push those memories outta the head?" Ellis asked. "Just think of happy memories? Like your first victory in a campaign, or whatever they are?"

Marissa did so, and smiled.

"Thanks." Marissa said out loud. "You know... I have an extra SPECIAL surprise coming up for a cutie like you."

Ellis was confused, as Chris came to the teams.

"Geeks! Populars! I tallied the results, and with the least campers captured, today's winners are... The Populars!" Chris shouted out loud.

The Populars cheered loudly as a result, while the Geeks sighed in defeat.

"And as for your rewards... Here you go!" Chris said out loud, as he threw some teddy bears at the Populars.

"Teddy bears?" Steph asked. "What are we, 4?"

"Oh, there's something else. Press the tummy." Chris replied, as Steph pressed hers.

"Big Bucks Big Bucks Big Bucks No Whammies No Whammies STOP!" The Teddy Bear said out loud.

Steph was confused. "Er... What?"

"Mine is also saying something weird as well." Twiggy said out loud, as she pressed her teddy.

"Some people f***k at Funerals. Me? I f***king cut off heads."

The campers were wide-eyed with shock, as they turned towards Chris.

"Er, Chris? Where did you get these bears?" Ada asked.

"Um... I think they were recalled." Chris replied. "Now, for the Geeks? They get nothing but the satisfaction that this was a Reward Challenge. So there's no vote off tonight. Now... Let's get outta this shower."


Confessional: Score another victory for the Populars

Steph: Oh, well... It's only a Reward Challenge. We'll take out a Geek tomorrow, I just know it!

Yentoulis: Ugh, idiot team members...


Giggling Gryphons

A few hours later, the sun has sank below the western horizon, and Ellis was waiting outside the cabin. Benny and Cherri was outside with him.

"Sucks that we lost, though." Benny said out loud. "I thought we stood a chance, to be honest."

"Hey, we can always do better next time!" Cherri exclaimed.

"So, Ellis?" Benny asked. "What are you doing out here?"

Ellis smiled. "Well... Marissa has a special surprise waiting for me."

Benny and Cherri smiled at each other, as the door cracked open a slight bit.

"Ellis? Ready for your surprise?" Marissa said out loud.

Ellis nodded, as he entered.


Ellis looked in the cabin, to see that something similar to a board game was set up in the middle of the floor. There seemed to be several pieces on said board, including some dice, and a box labeled DragonStrike by the side.

Marissa was smiling, as she looked at Ellis.

"So, you up for some role playing?" Marissa asked.

"Er... okay?" Ellis replied, as he sat down. "So... What's my job?"

Marissa grinned, as she seemed to get into character. "Well, brave adventurer. You seemed to have gotten trapped in Teraptus' dungeon. Your objective is to escape said dungeon with your life. Now... Who thouth shall you play as..."

Ellis looked at the cards presented to him. "Guess I'll be the Wizard, then."

"Great choice, brave adventurer. It was Lady Mirian's favorite choice, too." Marissa said out loud, while remaining under character. "Now... Thou art adventurer shall roll the die, and plan out the first move."

Ellis rolled said dice, and smiled, as he looked at Marissa. "Thanks for doing this... Dungeon Queen Marissa."

"Thou art sends her own welcome, as well." Marissa replied, smiling.


Sting and Moana was watching the waves, as they were talking to each other. Sting's shoes and socks were off, exposing his feet. Fang was asleep next to Sting.

"So, your younger brother Wiley..." Sting said out loud. "You said he was the smartest in his class, huh?"

"You betchya!" Moana replied. "He's a huge book of knowledge. And with a girlfriend, to boot!"

Sting smirked at that. "Really, now?"

"Yeah. I thought I would be the first to find love, but none of the boys in my school's kinda interested in a oceanic girl like me." Moana replied. "Still, I support my little bro. Tilly even looks up to me like a sister!"

"Tilly?" Sting asked.

Moana giggled. "Wiley's girlfriend, silly! She may be saucy, but once you get to know her, she's a real sweetie."

"Like Sour Patch Kids?" Sting continued to ask. "Mom always liked those things."

"Err... Something like that." Moana commented, as Olivia approached Moana, holding something behind her back.

"Hey, Moana! Nice job on today's challenge!" Olivia cheerfully said with a smile.

"But, we lost. It was a total ship sinking." Moana replied back.

"Aw, whatever... Look. I have something for you." Olivia said, as she pulled out what appeared to be a cupcake. She then handed it over to Moana. "Ta-DA!"

"Wow, thanks!" Moana replied, as she unwrapped the wrapper, and bit into the cupcake. "Um, Olivia? This cupcake tastes... weird."

All of a sudden, her stomach started to gurgle.

"Awww... Son of a Sea Carp." Moana cursed to herself, as she ran off, dropping the cupcake.

Olivia watched Moana run off, and smiled. "Now that the blue haired girl's gone..." She said, as she sat down and tossed the cupcake aside. "I want to borrow your foot for a moment."

"Why?" Sting asked, as his foot was grabbed, and Olivia took what appeared to be a qTip. Soaking it with sea water, she grabbed up some of Sting's sweat from his foot along with it. "What are you doing, and why did Moana get sick from that cupcake just now?"

"Oh, nothing. She's just being a HUGE meanie because she didn't like my cupcake..." Olivia answered, as she smiled, as she tossed in the qTip into a mason jar. "There we go. Now... Wanna hang out for now?"

Olivia scooted closer to Sting, as Sting got nervous.

"I... I just remembered." Sting said, as he got up. "I gotta ask Nelson for my copy of my My Little Pony comic he borrowed last night."

He then walked away, not before whistling for Fang. Fang got up, and started to run towards Sting, panting along the way.

Olivia glared at Sting. "Ohh... I'm STILL gonna win your heart, Sting... But first..."

She looked into the mason jar holding the qTip.

"Time to grow some foot fungus. Yes... This'll look GOLDEN next to my fungus from Duncan, Alejandro, and Scott..."

Little did she know, someone was listening to the conversation. He activated a device, which grabbed the cupcake, and said device pulled the cupcake away.


In a tall bush far away, the holder of the device was Mozart, and he was looking at the half-bitten cupcake.

"Good thing I installed a device in my bo staff to grab up stuff with a claw, but... I don't understand this myself." Mozart said to himself. "How could a cupcake send that wave-diving cool gal to the toilets?"

"Squeak..." Woodstock squeaked in disappointment, as there was some ruffling going on. Mozart got in a fighting position, only to find out who it really was...

"Good evening, Mr. Mozart." GENKI said out loud. "Master is taking a nap, currently. So I decided to take a walk by myself."

"Whew..." Mozart sighed. "I thought you were Olivia. I dunno why she had a cupcake that... Well, made her hurl buckets."

"Perhaps I could be of some assistance." GENKI replied back. "Master installed an analyzer into me. I can figure out what the secret ingredient is that made Miss Moana vomit."

"Okay. We need the blue haired babe for our challenge tomorrow." Mozart said out loud as GENKI opened up her chest, and a scanner was exposed.

"Please insert the object in question, and I shall have it analized." GENKI replied back, as Mozart did just that with the cupcake. GENKI then appeared to have what could be a buffering circle in her eyes. Once she was done, GENKI blinked and looked at Mozart.

"I has analyzed the cupcake. It is your normal everyday cupcake, laced with just a dash of Ipacac." GENKI said out loud.

"Wait, Ipacac induces... vomiting." Mozart replied, as he looked at GENKI. "Why would Olivia do something like that? Or... Twiggy baked it for us to totes make us sick?"

He then tightened his headband.

"I think it's time for me to play detective." Mozart commented to himself. "See where that cupcake could have appeared from."


Back with Moana, she was hurling buckets of digested food in what appeared to be a trash can.

"Yuck... First that homeless rat eater, now that cupcake..." Moana sickly mumbled, as Sting came walking up to her.

"Moana? You feeling okay?" Sting asked, as he peeked inside said trash can. He quickly turned away in disgust. "Shouldn't have looked."

"Yeah... I'll be fine. It was just a bad cupcake. Maybe it expired?" Moana replied back.

"I'm just hoping this whole deal doesn't turn you off cupcakes." Sting said, concerned.

"Nah, this was just a one-time deal." Moana replied. "I'll be okay, once I get something in me."

Sting then did some thinking. "Hmm... Maybe Xantara has some kinda tea that'll help your tummy. Think it's worth a shot?"

Moana smiled back. "Yeah... Maybe."

Sting then wrapped his arm around Moana, as he smiled at her.

"Just in case you're feeling a tad bit woozy..." Sting said, with a blush developing on his face.

"You're one sweet boy, Sting." Moana replied back. "Thank you."


Confessional: Love Rising?

Moana: I still wanna know what was in that cupcake... I found it later laying around, along with some dead ants. Cherri gave them a proper burial at sea.

Cherri: -She is sad- Those ants had their lives ahead of them, too... Damn cupcake.

Sting: Moana... What can I say? She's basically one of my best friends on here. Plus, she has a lotta interesting stories, to boot.

Nelson: I was just walking along with Xantara, when I heard someone talking about Sting Fungus. Is it a disease that I don't know about? Hmm... Bees sting. I should ask Cherri about it.

Olivia: I can't wait to see how this grows! This is getting exciting! At least it's better than when I was given that restraining order from Scott's family after trying to grab samples of his hair.

Mozart: The first person I should question? Twiggy. Why? I saw a tattoo of a cookie on her belly. And unless she was VERY passionate about cookies, why would she have one?


Powerhungry Polar Bears

With Ada, Kade, and Nicholas, Ada and Kade were sitting next to Nicholas, listening to his iPod.

"Great job, Nick! You're proving that you can handle the Wub!" Ada said, grinning.

"Also, you're handling yourself good with that Mountain Dew." Kade also said, smiling.

"Thanks, guys." Nicholas replied to both of them.

"And with that, your training to be a Party Pal is at its halfway point." Ada commented. "Next up... A makeover!"

"Wait, huh?" Nicholas asked.

"Yep! Those duds of yours? Old school!" Kade answered. "We KNOW you'll like your new look!"

"Er, okay?" Nicholas replied back.

"Now, Nick..." Ada said, as she got Nicholas up. "Let's do this thing!"

"Um... Okay..." Nicholas replied back, as both Ada and Kade grabbed Nicholas' hands.


Near Verna's tree, the Pokemon fan sighed.

"Man, this completely sucks." Verna said to herself. "Thanks to Queen Bitch, I can't play Pokemon, anymore! And I was gonna look at my Vivillon collection too... Blasted Oogielove butterflies..."

"Aww, sad that you can't play your geeky games, anymore?" Steph taunted, as Verna started to say something, but... "Suck it up!"

"Um..." Verna started to say, as Steph continued.

"Now... I want you to trash that gothic bitch's 3DS." Steph ordered. "Games? Bah. What a waste of time AND money. I want YOU to trash her 3DS by tomorrow morning."

Verna was shocked. "What?! But her 3DS?! What if it was a birthday gift from her dying grandma?"

"Well, boo-fu***ng-HOO!" Steph snapped. "She shouldn't have died. Now TRASH that 3DS."

"But..." Verna said out loud.

"The 3DS... Or your popularity..." Steph ordered, glaring at Verna. "It's your choice."

Verna sighed, as she sadly nodded.

"Good. Glad you see things MY way." Steph commented.


In the cabin, Drake was setting something up.

"I usually don't show people these..." Drake said out loud to Stella. "But I think it's time to show you something that's very dear to my heart."

"Ooh, what is it?" Stella asked.

"You'll see..." Drake answered, as he pressed some buttons on a remote control. He then sighed. "Yeah, we gotta go through the unskippable Copying DVDs are illegal stuff... Ah, here we go!"

Stella read the title that was on the screen. "Civilization Clash?" [1]

"Yeah, I gotten used to it, due to it being reminiscent of classic cartoons my mom grew up with..." Drake explained. "It involves the adventures of Shu Fang, learning about American culture. Along for the ride is Dewey, Milo, Tauret, and Shade. It's one of my faves."

"Sounds fun!" Stella replied. "Plus, Shu Fang is REALLY adorable! Reminds me of that Chinese girl I played with when my parents visited some business friends one time. She was visiting from China, to boot."

"Sounds interesting..." Drake said, smiling. "So, wanna start off with The Laughingly Lovely Lawnmower? It's the Pilot, after all..."

Stella nodded, with a smile on her face.


Ada and Kade were waiting outside the Men's washroom, waiting for Nicholas to finish off his makeover.

"So, Kade?" Ada asked. "What do you think of our party pal so far?"

"Well, whatever the case... I think we're corrupting him." Kade replied with a giggle. "He did went in with some bleach, after all."

"Right. Then again, that's what being around two cute, partying girls will do to you!" Ada said, grinning.

"Girls? I'm ready to come out, now." Nicholas said through the door...

He was now dressed in a black EDM shirt, blue gym shorts, black glow-in-the-dark shoes, neon green bracelets on his wrists, and had dyed blue hair. He was also wearing purple sunglasses, and had three colored lines on his cheeks.

"So... How do I look?" Nicholas asked.

Ada and Kade grinned.

"You look VERY awesome, man!" Kade replied out loud.

"Nick, you're gonna be on your way, party wise!" Ada said, with a smile on her face.

"Thanks, guys." Nicholas replied back. "I think I'm gonna enjoy this new look."

"But... Where you find the face paint?" Kade asked. "I never bought any."

"Well..." Nicholas replied. "I did some buying of my own, to be honest... But enough about that. Let's party!"


Twiggy was looking in her bag, and looked kinda confused.

"Where did my cupcake pan go?" Twiggy asked herself. "Some of my cooking goods are gone, too."


Confessional: Party Hard!

Nicholas: Yeah, all of this partying is good for the soul! And I have my two best friends to thank for it!

Ada: Wow, Nick looks VERY cool and cute with that get-up on! I am so proud of him!

Kade: Partying, huh? -She gives a thumbs up- I approve!

Drake: Well, for a starter cartoon... Stella enjoyed it. Now, to show her something more... Magical.

Stella: Cartoons, huh... I never watched many growing up. But they're... Really good. Drake must be a BIG fan, huh?

Twiggy: Who would wanna swipe my cupcake pan? It's a non-stick pan that my mom brouht for me before... Someone's gotta have ice-cold veins to steal something that was valuable of mine.

Verna: Sigh... Korpse... Please forgive me for what I'm gonna do...

Steph: Oh, yes... I have Verna under my command. Yes, this game... Is mine... I should get rid of that big bitch Stella soon. She is getting too pally over that hotness Drake. I just gotta think up what to do...


Chris is on the beach, ready to close off the episode.

"And so, the Populars win another challenge! But will the Geeks catch up? Will Verna go ahead with her plans for destroying Korpse's 3DS? Who stole Twiggy's cupcake pan? Will anyone tell Olivia that what she's doing is super-creepy? How will everyone react to the new Nicholas, and who will be voted off next? Find out next time, on..."

"Total!"

"Drama!"

"GEEKS VS. POPULARS!"


Meanwhile, VERY far away from the island, on an island with very strange creatures, a lone praying mantis was fighting off against a scorpion. It soon got knocked back, as it got submerged in what appeared to be some radioactive waste. The mantis looked down at itself, as it felt itself grow.

Hopping back to the scorpion, it backed up in mercy. But the mantis wouldn't have anything to do with it. Impaling it with its sharp arms, it then took a HUGE bite out of the scorpion's body, killing it. After tossing it away, it gave off a huge roar, as it started to continue growing.

The animals were running away in fear from the mantis, all from the Chris-Head hawks to the Duncan moles. Sniffing one of the slow-flying Chris-Head hawks, the mantis then sniffed the air, and grinned. It then jumped into the water, swimming slightly fast and on its way towards Amherst Island...
