Author's Note: So I finally have free time! Dance is over for the year. I have some free time on my schedule now. So I'm done Friendship Only Goes So Far and one of my best friends actually read and enjoyed it. So here is the long awaited chapter 15.
Disclaimer: I own nothing except the plot and Jett.
Everyone was standing in partners outside. They were all dressed like farmers.
Clove and Jett (red)
Foxface and Marvel (orange)
Maysilee and Cato (yellow)
Johanna and Peeta (green)
Annie and Brutus (blue)
Madge and Haymitch (purple)
Annie grabbed a card and stood in front of everyone.
"Hello everyone. It's time for the Head Of Household competition. Though I can not win, I will be competing to make the teams even. One member of each team will be throwing corn stalks into other teams baskets. But you have to only throw your team's corn. The other team member will be holding the basket up. The last team still holding their basket will decide who, out of the two of them, will be HOH. Also, the first two teams to drop their basket will be the have-nots," Annie read.
The Sevina twins look at each other.
Clove and Jett: If we win, Clove is going to be HOH. And, for once, I'm not blackmailing him.
"And to be fair, there is one girl and one boy on each team," Annie finished. "Get into position."
All the guys except Peeta walked over to the basket. Johanna took theirs.
Johanna: I am stronger than Peeta will ever be.
Jett looked at his little sister. They shared a look. The buzzer rang. The collectors grabbed their first stalk. Everyone ran towards the basket. Their was a silent agreement to get Johanna. Peeta threw a stalk into Haymitch's basket.
Johanna: Holy s***. That basket was heavy enough without all the stalks of corn in there.
The rope was slipping from her hand. It slipped and they were out.
"F***!" she yelled. "Peeta! We're out and have-nots!"
Peeta sighed and dropped his stalk of corn. He walked over to where Johanna was sitting. Everyone started to target Haymitch. He dropped the basket.
Haymitch: That damn basket was f****** heavy.
Everyone was playing until it was down it Clove/Jett and Maysilee/Cato. Clove threw another stalk into Cato's basket and he shifted.
Cato: My arms were burning, my shoulders were killing me, and I was in pain. Jett looked sturdy as a rock.
Jett: This wasn't that big of a stretch from working on my grandpa's farm with Clove and Cephas in the summer.
The two boys matched eyes.
"Clove and I have been working on our grandpa's farm since we were five. That's eighteen years. I'm not moving anytime soon," Jett told him.
"I can't do it Maysilee. My arms are burning," Cato yelled to his team mate.
Maysilee threw a stalk into Jett's basket then sighed.
"Let go. Give it to the Sevinas," she sighed.
Cato let go of the basket. Maysilee walked over to him and pulled him into a hug. Jett lowered his basket and jumped over it. He picked up his twin into a hug.
"We won!" he yelled.
Clove wrapped her arms around her brother.
Clove: Thank you Grandpa Kentwell for having me and my brothers work on your farm in the summer.
Jett: Thanks to our Grandpa Kentwell for forcing us to help on the farm.
"Well Clove and Jett. Who will be Head of Household?" Annie asked.
"Clove is going to take it," Jett said.
Foxface stole the key and ran to Clove. She pulled the raven haired girl into a hug. She placed the key around Clove's neck.
Madge was sitting behind Johanna, putting her hair into a braid.
"This sucks," Johanna muttered.
"Try being a have-not every week," Madge sighed. "You know, we're not all the different."
"Explain," Johanna said.
Johanna: I am nothing like that blonde idiot.
"We both were in an alliance that was exposed very quickly. We both survived losing our alliance. We're still here even though we have no one who wanted to be here with us," Madge explained.
"Are you saying we should work together?" Johanna asked.
"No. I'm saying we should form an alliance with other outcasts. Haymitch and Peeta," Madge stated.
"What about us?" Haymitch asked as he and Peeta entered the room.
"We should form an alliance," Madge stated.
"Named?" Peeta asked.
"The Abusement Park," Johanna said.
"Yes!" Haymitch yelled.
"No," Madge said.
"The Mighty Midgets?" Peeta suggested.
"Yes!" Haymitch yelled.
"The only one of us that is semi short is Madge," Johanna stated.
"The Flaming Marshmallows?" Madge suggested.
"Yes!" Haymitch yelled.
"No," Johanna stated. "Only I am allowed to make up team names that include food when I'm hungry."
"Spider Pigs?" Haymitch suggested.
"N- Actually, that's not half bad," the other three said in sync. "We are now The Spider Pigs."
"Spider Pigs? Really?" Clove asked Foxface.
"Ya," Foxface stated.
"How did you find out again?" Maysilee asked.
"Well, I was determining if I could fit into one of the cupboards. I just shut the door as Madge and Johanna walked in. They started talking about forming an alliance so I stayed quiet and listened. They agreed to an alliance which they called the Spider Pigs," Foxface explained.
Currently, everyone in Victorious Secret is sitting outside on the couches as Foxface explains what she overheard.
"New target?" Jett asked.
"No s*** genius. We can have no one working together other than us," Clove barked at her twin.
Annie: The only way we can keep Victorious Secret 100% safe-
Cato: Is to get rid of any and all alliances.
Foxface: And that's exactly-
Jett: What we are going to do.
Clove: I don't care who-
Marvel: Who we have to step on-
Maysilee: To stay on top.
"Who wants to see my HOH room?" Clove yelled.
Cheers filled the house as everyone followed Clove up to her room. She opened the door and took a first look at her new HOH room.
Johanna: Unlike my last alliance, we made it more than an hour and no one knows about us. But now we have to go up to Clove's HOH room. Again.
Everyone filled the room. The basket was completely packed differently.
"Cephas's turn to design my room?" Clove asked her twin.
Jett went straight for the basket without looked at his sister. He took something and threw it to his sister. It was purple silly string.
"Cephas totally packed this room," she laughed.
She walked to the basket and saw a rainbow of silly string colors.
"He is the best!" she squealed.
On the other side of the room. Foxface was looking at a picture of the twins with Marvel. Clove walked over to them.
"Think it's time to expose Spider Pigs?" Clove whispered.
Her two lighter haired comrades nodded. She walked away and leaned against the dresser.
"Johanna, Madge, Haymitch and Peeta!" she yelled. "How is the alliance, Spider Pigs, enjoying my HOH room?"
The alliance looked at Clove. The raven haired girl twirled a lock of hair around her finger as if she was waiting.
Johanna: The the-
Madge: H*** does-
Peeta: Clove know-
Haymitch: About us?
Johanna marched up to the younger girl.
"How do you know?" she demanded.
"Simple, I'm not an idiot," she hissed.
Johanna growled at the younger girl who had a smirk on her face. She turned and marched from the room. Madge, Haymitch, and Peeta followed.
"Wow. I feel so left out," Brutus said. "You guy must too. Hey! The eight of us should form an alliance."
"Sorry Brutus. I'm not working with anyone that is outside of my family or isn't Foxface," Clove said.
Brutus sighed. "Oh well. At least I know that Spider Pigs are the only alliance."
Clove: So naive.
Brutus started to walk up to Clove's room. He knocked then walked in. Clove was in their with Foxface. Both girls were wearing cat ear headbands. Both the ears matched their hair color.
"Okay. Why are you both wearing cat ears?" Brutus asked.
"While Cephas was in the house, I asked him to send animal ears in my care basket when I'm HOH and it's his turn to pack my room," Clove explained. "He sent ears for me, Jett, and Foxface."
"Okay then," Brutus said. "Well I was wondering if you would be comfortable with telling me who you are nominating."
Clove shook her head.
Clove: It's obvious. Plus I don't want to let him in on Victorious Secret.
"Well would you be comfortable with nominating me?" Brutus asked.
The raven haired girl sat up on her bed and looked at the elder male in shock.
"Why would you want me to nominate you? Like as a pawn?" Clove asked.
"No," he said. "As the one two go home."
"Is there something you need to talk about?" Foxface asked. "Why would you want to go home?"
"I lost Enobaria. She formed an alliance behind my back then left because of it. I just feel so alone," Brutus stated.
The two girls sat on either side of Brutus and sandwiched him into a hug.
"Don't feel like you're alone. Spider Pigs will probably leave and then everyone will be alone," Clove said.
"That's sweet girls. But don't forget that I'm eleven years older than you two. You both are young and in your prime. You two can easily make friends to help you in the game. It's harder for me. Plus, you two will have each other until someone plans to break you two up. You guys have been friends since day one. You have no idea the fear you get while working alone," Brutus stated.
The two released Brutus. He stood up and walked from the room. The two girls stood up and hugged each other.
Foxface: Brutus is right. We don't know what it would be like to work without someone. But we can't get rid of him for no reason. We'll completely remove Spider Pigs then maybe we'll reveal ourselves to Brutus. But then, we will be breaking up and we will be alone. I'll have to make sure my friendship with Clove is completely solid before then. I can't take any risks.
Madge and Johanna sat at the counter eating slop.
"This sucks," Johanna stated.
"I know. But you get use to it over time," Madge said referring to the slop.
"I meant having your second alliance exposed the same day you formed it. It has happened to me twice," Johanna said.
"Well at least we don't have to waste our energy trying to pretend we aren't an alliance," Madge sighed.
"Maybe we'll be okay," Johanna said before dropping her bowl in the sink.
Madge did the same then the two went outside. The cupboards opened. Clove and Foxface, both still wearing their cat ears, crawled out.
"First of all, that was so much fun. I'm surprised that it's so easy to fit in there. Second, you were right, you can hear everything that happens outside of the cupboard from in there," Clove laughed.
The redhead also laughed. "I know."
Clove ran through the living room, clearly on a sugar high, and to the picture board. She collected all the keys before running up the stairs. She fixed her cats ears before quickly placing all the keys into the cylinder then wrapped the strings around the keys of the two nominees and locking them away. She sprinted down stairs.
"Hey everyone. It's time for the nomination ceremony," she called.
Everyone went inside. Foxface adjusted her cat ears as Clove bounded down the stairs and put the cylinder down on the table.
"This is the nomination ceremony. One of my duties as head of household is to nominate two people for eviction. I will pull the first key and that person is safe. They will put the next key and so on and so forth until no keys remain." Clove pulled the first key out. "Foxy, you are safe."
"Thanks Clovely. Jett, you are safe."
"Thanks Cloverfield. Maysilee, you are safe."
"Merci Clover. Cato, you are safe."
"Thanks Clovey. Annie, you are safe."
"Thanks Four-Leaf Clover. Marvel, you are safe."
"Gracias Cloven. Brutus, you are safe."
"Thank you Clove-a-Rama. Peeta, you are safe."
There was one key left. Johanna, Made, and Haymitch sat empty handed. Peeta slowly pulled out the last key.
"Haymitch. You are safe."
"Thanks Clovery."
"I have nominated you, Johanna, and you, Madge, for eviction. You both have been in alliances with people that have been a thorn in my side since day one. They we risks to me. So you are. That's why you're on the block. But Haymitch and Peeta, don't get too comfortable. If either of them come down, one of you will take their place. This nomination ceremony has been adjourned," Clove finished.
Clove: I did what's best for me and Victorious Secret. But what was up with all of the nicknames.
Johanna: I'll take obvious results for 2000, Jerry.
Madge: Here we go again.
Haymitch and Peeta: Hashtag Scared.
