"-I nearly died laughing when I saw you in that damn leotard," Lucky laughed, "and then you got on stage and-"
"Amigo, please- I was not the one who had to sing KC and the Sunshine band," Alejandro smiled.
Alejandro, Lucky and Johnny were all on hospital beds, joking around (at least in the case of the former two) while they waited for the doctor to come back.
"I guess that's true enough," Lucky agreed, "first time on the show I've lived up to my name- as soon as Milton said that, I was sure I was going home."
Johnny was laying on his bed silently, staring out of a window.
"Hey, Johnny-boy. You alright?" Lucky asked.
"Fine," Johnny muttered, "I'm just thinking about some things."
At that moment the doctor walked in, examining a clipboard carefully.
"Uh, okay. Alejandro, I don't know how to break this to you, but I'd say you only have four weeks," the doctor announced, "terribly sorry."
"Wait, WHAT?" Alejandro exclaimed.
"It seems your condition has worsened," the doctor sighed, "I'm afraid there isn't much we can- wait. You're Alejandro Burromuerto... heh, whoops. Wrong Alejandro. Nah, you kids'll be fine. Once we've stitched and rebandaged your wounds, you'll be free to go."
Alejandro settled back into his seat, and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Well, the nurse will be with you boys in a few minutes," the doctor said, walking out of the room, "why not watch some TV?"
"Grand idea," Alejandro sighed, grabbing the nearby remote and flipping the television on.
A female figure walked in, and Lucky, assuming it was the nurse, turned and asked, "Hey, doll. Could I get a coffee or- Ella?! What are you doing here?"
Ella walked into the room, beaming.
"Julie said I could come visit the three of you to help cheer you up!" She explained, "To help raise your spirits, I've prepared a song for you!"
"Gracias, Ella, but that won't be-" Alejandro started.
Ella took no notice of Alejandro's protests, and cleared her throat before beginning her song.
"I know how bad you're feeling,
worry not, you'll soon be healing!
These hospital walls may be unappealing-"
The three boys all looked at each other as Ella sang, Alejandro rolling his eyes a bit.
"-but worry not," Ella finished, "for soon the show you'll be stealing!"
Lucky forced a smile and began clapping, with Alejandro joining in soon after. Ella giggled a little and bowed.
"That was great," Lucky told her, "hey, why don't you go tell Julie we'll be out of here tonight? That'd be a big help."
"Of course!" Ella exclaimed, "Feel better!"
With that, she hurried out of the room.
"That was... Something," Alejandro commented.

Back on the ship, Mark was horrified at what he saw. Point had been locked up in a pet carrier, and all evidence pointed to that having been the case for the entire duration of his absence. His fur had been shaved off, he was covered in filth as well as several bruises, and he looked like he hadn't been fed.
"Don't worry," Mark told him, "I'm gonna get you out of here, okay?"
"Mark? What are you doing in here?"
Mark turned around, and saw Margo standing in the doorway.
"What did you do to Point?" Mark demanded.
"What?" Margo asked, confused, "What are you talking about?"
She tilted her head, and her eyes widened when she saw the caged animal on her bed.
"I- I have no idea how he got in here! Honest!" Margo swore.
Mark lifted up Point's cage, and clutched it to his chest.
"Yeah right. So it's a coincidence that the same day you ask me for an alliance, and I turn you down, Point goes missing?" Mark demanded, "And I just HAPPENED to find him in your room?"
"Look, I know it must SEEM bad, but-" Margo began.
"SEEM bad?" Mark exclaimed, "It doesn't just SEEM bad!"
"Okay, look. Let's just talk about this," Margo suggested, taking a step forward.
Mark pushed past her, however, and ran out of her room, immediately speeding down the hall and into his own.
"Mark, wait!" Margo cried, following behind him.
As soon as Mark was inside though, he shut and locked the door behind him, and opened the cage up. Point immediately leapt out of his prison, and ran to a nearby corner, curling up and shaking. Mark hurried about the room, getting out food and water for Point. The fox was finished eating almost seconds after Mark had put the plate down.
"Come on," Mark told him, "it's time to get you cleaned up."
Margo began knocking on the door.
"Can we please just talk?" She asked.
"Get out of here!" Mark snapped, "I'm not talking to you!"
"Mark, come on-"
"I said GO!"
Margo sighed, and lowered her hand, biting her lip a little. What had happened? There was no way Point could have ended up in her room. She slowly trudged back to her room, head low. Something was going on here... and she didn't know what.
~o.0.o~
Several days passed. By now Alejandro, Lucky and Johnny had all returned to the ship, mostly healed. Many of the contestants were hanging out in the clubhouse, although Mark had shut himself up in his room with Point. Margo and Deborah were sitting alone in the corner of the room discussing just that.
"And he still won't talk to you?" Deborah asked.
Margo shook her head.
"I've tried everything," she sighed, "but he won't listen. I don't know how it happened, really!"
"He's probably busy nursing Point back to health," Deborah shrugged, "maybe when he's better you'll be able to talk to Mark."
"I hope so," Margo muttered, "I need to get this cleared up before it gets any worse. Word must have gotten out somehow, because a lot of the other contestants are treating me suspiciously."
"Do you think you're in any danger of being voted off?" Deborah asked.
"I don't know, that's what worries me," Margo admitted, "listen... I know it's a lot to ask, but could you help me find out what happened?"
"Uh, look... I mean, we're friends and all, but I was hoping I could just lay low for most of the season," Deborah frowned.
"Come on- please? Consider it a favor."
"...oh, alright," Deborah agreed.
Margo smiled.
"Thank you- it means a lot."
"Well- do you have any clue where to start?"
"None whatsoever," Margo smiled.
CONFESSIONAL: Deborah
I DO want to help Margo, it's just... when I first got here, I didn't think I'd have much of a chance, but I'm starting to think I could win this thing if I really tried. If Margo's telling the truth, that means someone tried to frame her by putting Point in her room... I just hope helping out doesn't put me in the line of fire.

Justin was sitting in the jacuzzi, sipping a glass of soda. When it was empty, he shook it and held it out.
"Oh, hey, Ella? Could you be a doll and fill this up for me?" He asked.
Ella, who was standing nearby, forced a smile.
"Oh, of course! I'll be right back!" She told him, taking the glass and speeding away.
Justin leaned back, a smile on his face. He was about to close his eyes when someone got into the tub next to him, splashing him with water slightly. Justin opened an eye and saw Mordecai now sitting next to him, a confident smile on his face.
"Oh Finn? Fetch me some candy, won't you?" Mordecai called.
Finn, who had also been standing nearby, scowled, and walked off.
"It's great having personal servants, huh?" Mordecai smirked, "It's how stars like us should be treated."
"Oh, you're a star now, huh?" Justin frowned.
"Well, I've BEEN a star," Mordecai boasted, "I was the star of a TV show not too long ago."
Justin thought a minute, and then smiled.
"Wait, I remember you now! You were on a show called 'Our Life' or something. Yeah, talk about stupid. That was one of the worst shows I've ever seen."
"Whatever," Mordecai scowled, "it was ahead of it's time, that's all."
CONFESSIONAL: Mordecai
Stupid? That was one of the greatest shows ever made! Whatever. This is perfect, anyway. Once I make it to the merge, Justin can be my arch-rival or something- I mean, everybody who's anybody has an arch rival on these kinds of shows. I guess that means Quinn will have to sit out of the finals, but that's alright. Just imagine it- after trashing Finn and leaving him behind, it comes down to me and Justin in the final two. He's about to win- when I use my surperior skills and abilities to pull ahead at the last second and win. Yep. It's gonna be awesome being me.
END CONFESSIONAL
Later that evening, Julie's voice came over the intercom.
"Attention all contestants- it's challenge time. Please report on deck."
Mark, who was in his room, sighed and looked at Point. The fox was still shaky and thin- definitely not ready to compete in any challenges. As much as it pained Mark, he simply had to be left behind. Mark stroked Point's fur, and sighed.
"You're going to have to stay here today, alright?"
Point let out a low whimper.
"I know- don't worry. I'll keep everything locked up safe. I'll be back soon, okay?"
With that, Mark exited the room, making sure the door was locked tight behind. He hesitated a moment before letting out a sigh and joining the other contestants on deck. The sun was already starting to set, causing Bridgette to frown.
"It's getting a bit late for a challenge, isn't it?" She asked Julie.
"Nope," the hostess answered, "because this challenge relies on the night. Do you all remember in the third season when the competitors were brought back to the film lot? There, they played a game of steal the bacon while being attacked by movie monsters. This is a modified version of that. See, it's still steal the bacon- except this time, the monsters will only come out after the sun sets. If you finish it before then, you'll have a much easier time of it. If you don't, you'll be hindered by zombies, killer cyborgs, and other movie villains."
"So... Minecraft rules," Veronica noted, "we're left alone during the day, but the mobs come out at night."
"Exactly. Now, the first team to grab the flag and bring it back here wins the challenge, and the other team sends someone home. Of course, keep in mind finding the flag will be difficult, because today-"Julie gestured to the beach they had arrived at, "- our challenge will be taking place on the Oregon coast. There's a lot of ground to cover, so I suggest you split up and get moving. Your challenge starts... now."
The contestants began to pile off the boat, except for Finn, who attempted to slip below deck.
"Where do you think you're going?" Mordecai demanded.
Finn turned around, and saw the devious Sonic fan standing not far off.
"You're trying to find my DS, aren't you?" Mordecai smirked, "Well, tough luck. I keep it in my pocket at all times."
Mordecai tapped his pocket to demonstrate.
"There's no way you'll get it this way. Now come on- it's time to finish off Johnny and the others."
Mordecai started to head to the beach, with Finn following behind- a smile on his face.
CONFESSIONAL: Finn
First mistake... last mistake.
END CONFESSIONAL
"Okay guys, since Cody's not here... I think that makes me official team captain.
Justin smiled as he looked around at his teammates. None of them said anything against him, but many of them looked less than amused.
"So, here's how we'll do this. We'll split into three groups- one group will comb the beach, one will check the surrounding forest, and one will check the, um... the rocky part. I'll check the beach with Noah and Ella, Veronica, Miri, Mark and Margo can go check out the woods, and Johnny, Lucky, Deborah and Tyler get the rocks."
Before anyone could argue, Justin added, "Fan out!" and dissapeared with his group.
"Awesome," Veronica sighed.
Margo immediatley turned to speak to Mark, but found he had already run off on his own.
"Crap," Margo groaned.
"Forget him, we gotta get going," Veronica
told her.
Margo sighed, but nodded, and the three headed into the woods. In the meantime, Deborah smiled as she looked at Johnny and Lucky.
"Well, at least I got put in a good group," she said.
"Thanks," Johnny nodded, "well, shall we?"
"What about him?" Lucky asked, pointing to Tyler.
The jock was standing further down the beach, but when he saw the three, he smiled and waved.
"Hey, hey guys!" Tyler called, "You ready to go?"
"-and we're moving," Deborah frowned, turning and speed-walking away.
"Shouldn't we wait for-" Johnny started.
"Moving!"
Johnny and Lucky looked at each other, shrugged, and followed after her. Tyler's face fell, and he sighed.
CONFESSIONAL: Tyler
Aww, man. Did they really want to ditch me that badly? I might have had bad luck as a competitor before, but I can still do stuff! I even made it to the merge once! Well, once... and got eliminated immediatley after...
END CONFESSIONAL
The villains had already split into their groups- Alejandro, Bridgette and Luna, Heather, Katie and Quinn, and Mordecai and Finn while Izzy just headed off on her own.
"Okay," Mordecai said once the two were alone, "I saw Lucky and Johnny heading towards the rocks with coffee girl. Follow after them, and finish that stupid hick off, and his little buddy too. Hell, take out the chick too if she tries to get in your way."
"And what will you be doing while all this goes down?" Finn asked.
"I'm gonna join up with Heather's group," Mordecai said proudly, "that way I'll initiate the next phase of my plan. By infiltrating them and gaining their trust, I can find out Heather's plans and eliminate her- after that, Alejandro's gotta go. That will leave me as the only true mastermind on the team."
"Right," Finn nodded, rolling his eyes.
"Just get going," Mordecai snapped.
"Oh, right away, sir," Finn muttered before turning and walking away.
Mordecai smiled, and began walking until he found Heather's group.
"Hey guys," he greeted, "finally found you!"
"Oh, great, it's you," Heather scoffed, "what do you want?"
"I just thought we could help each other out, is all," Mordecai shrugged.
"What makes you think we want you?" Heather demanded, "Didn't I tell you to stay away? You're useless and you smell funny!"
"Look, I can help you out," Mordecai insisted, "we need to start winning challenges, right? And if we don't, eventually people are going to turn to you guys when elimination rolls around. If we make this a group of four, I can help you out with the numbers game!"
Heather rolled her eyes.
"Fine," she huffed, "but only until you stop being useful."
CONFESSIONAL: Mordecai
I love it when things go according to plan.
CONFESSIONAL: Heather
I don't trust that sleaze ball for a second... But right now I could use a mindless follower or two. I'm not sure how much longer Katie and Quinn will go along with my plans.
END CONFESSIONAL
Alejandro, Bridgette and Luna were walking through the woods, trying to find the flag.
"We need to finish this challenge as quick as possible," Bridgette told them, "it's going to be dark soon."
"Agreed," Alejandro nodded.
Luna sighed, but nodded her head.
"You doing okay, Luna?" Bridgette asked, "you've been more quiet than usual these past few days."
"I'm okay, I guess," Luna muttered.
"Miss Duncan?"
Luna blushed, but said nothing.
"I'm sure he misses you too," Bridgette smiled.
"It's not that," Luna frowned, "I'm just wondering where that bear trap came from."
"The bear trap was just that- a trap," Alejandro shrugged.
"No, she has a point," Bridgette shrugged, "it doesn't seem like Julie's style. If it were Chris, yeah, obviously."
"Exactly!" Luna nodded, "I think... I think someone put it there."
Alejandro and Bridgette looked at each other.
"You sure? That's not an accusation to make lightly," Bridgette told her.
Luna looked over at her, and nodded slowly.
"Well, I don't know who would do something like that... But I'm going to find out."
~o.0.o~
Margo heaved a sigh as the three walked through the woods.
"I'm going to try to find him," she said.
"Uh, dude, it's getting pretty dark," Veronica pointed out, "and we're in the woods."
"I know it's risky, but I NEED to talk to him," Margo insisted, "some stuff happened and-"
"Look, you go off alone, you die alone," Veronica shrugged, "we should just get the flag first, you can handle that later."
The three girls saw a figure pass by.
"Mark?" Margo called out before chasing after him.
"Margo, wait!" Miri told her, but it was too late- she was gone.
"Awesome," Veronica sighed, "come on, let's just keep going this way."
~o.0.o~
Johnny, Deborah and Lucky were all standing at the base of a large rock formation, lookin at the top.
"There's nowhere else to go but up," Deborah frowned, "but it doesn't seem very stable."
"We've checked everywhere else," Johnny sighed, "up there is the only place we've got left."
The cowboy sighed, and grabbed on before slowly starting to scale the formation.
"It better be up there," Deborah sighed before following after.
Remembering his last experience climbing, Lucky shook his head.
"Think I'll sit this one out."
What the three didn't know was the Finn had been lurking nearby. After surveying the landscapes, he noticed a few large boulders at the peak of the monolith Johnny and Deborah were scaling. Careful not to be seen, he made his way up the other side, struggling to reach the top first. If he was seen, his cover would be blown and he'd no doubt be eliminated. If he succeeded, however, he'd manage to take out some major competiton.
After several minutes passed, Finn found himself at the top. He looked around to make sure no one was in sight before he rushed forward, using his weight to push over the boulders.
"Sorry cowboy," Finn smiled before turning and rushing back down the other side.
Meanwhile, Johnny and Deborah looked up just in time to see the boulders rocketing straight for them. Deborah immediatley panicked and let go, falling a good distance on to her back, but ultimately avoiding serious injury other than a few scrapes and bruises. Johnny, however, managed to dodge a large boulder, only to have a baseball-sized rock hit him square in the eye. He immediatley let go, and plummeted downward.
"Shit- Johnny!" Lucky exclaimed, rushing over to him.
"I'm fine, thanks for asking," Deborah scowled, struggling to get to her feet and dusting herself off. Once she saw Johnny laying on the ground unconscious, her eyes widened.
"Is he okay?"
"I don't know," Lucky frowned, "his eye is real bad. Help me out here, we gotta bring him back to the boat."
Deborah nodded, and walked over. The two got Johnny to his feet, an arm around each of their shoulders, and began to walk him forward.
"Heavier... than he looks," Lucky muttered.
"You don't think he'll be medically eliminated, do you?" Deborah asked.
"Nah. I've seen him fight giant lizard people before. He'll be fine."
"Lizard people?" Deborah snickered, "Right, that's- wait. You're serious."
Lucky shrugged.
"Let's just get him back to the boat."
~o.0.o~
The sun had set, and it was pitch dark when Margo finally caught up with Mark, the cold coastal air chilling the two.
"Mark, hold on!" Margo pleaded, "It wasn't me! I would never hurt Point, I don't have any reason to!"
"Oh yeah?" Mark asked, still moving forward, "Prove you didn't do it, or give me a reason to believe you."
"Well- I can't right now! You have to trust me!"
Mark turned his head, glaring at her.
"Why should I? All I know is, you ask me for an alliance. I don't accept your offer. I find Point starved in your room. It adds up."
"I know it does, but I must have been framed!" Margo exclaimed, "You have to-"
There was a loud snap, a Margo spun around to see a large, hulking figure making it's way towards them.
"Mark, there's something- MARK?!"
Margo looked around frantically, but he was gone. The figure charged forward, and when it was finally got close enough, Margo had a split second to register what it was- some sort of mutated sheep-creature. The creature lunged forward, and-
~o.0.o~
Justin, Ella and Noah were walking along the beach when they heard a scream in the distance.
"What was that?" Ella gasped.
"Hopefully Heather," Justin shrugged, "but it doesn't matter. Let's just try to find that flag."
The three moved forward, although Ella kept casting nervous glances behind them. Eventually, the three came to the entrance of a massive cavern.
"Should we go in?" Ella asked.
"Nope. It was our job to scan the beach," Justin shrugged, "those other losers are going to have to deal with this."
"But what if the flag is in there?" Ella asked.
"Then it's not our problem," Justin huffed, "how many times do I have to-"
"Shut up, both of you!" Noah snapped, "Do you hear that?"
Justin and Ella both fell silent, listening inently. Within the cavern, the sound of growling and footsteps could be heard.
"What the hell...?" Justin frowned.
Suddenly, pale, grey, humanoid figures began to spring from the entrance of the cavern. Justin and Noah both recognized them as the creatures from the Descent challenge three seasons ago, but both were too busy running to comment about it. Ella let out a shriek and ran after them, managing to keep up fairly well until Justin subtly stuck out his foot and tripped her. Ella let out a yelp and fell to the ground, struggling to get up as the creatures began to close in on her.
"Justin, help!" She called out.
"What's that?" Justin called back, "Leave you and win the challenge? I'll remember your sacrifice, you brave soul!"
"No, waAAAAAAH-"
Noah turned, and grimaced as he saw Ella get dragged off.
"Shouldn't we help her?" Noah asked.
"You heard her, she wanted us to keep going!"
"Actually, I'm pretty sure she said-"
"What's that? Can't hear you!" Justin exclaimed before rushing ahead.
CONFESSIONAL: Noah
Okay, that's it. I'm going to have to confront Justin about his behavior later.
END CONFESSIONAL
Back in the woods, Veronica and Miri finally stumbled across the flag.
"Got it!" Miri smiled, picking it up, "Let's get back to the boat and-"
"Stop right there, losers," Heather ordered, "that flag is ours."
Veronica and Miri turned to see Heather, Katie and Quinn emerge from the trees.
"Turn it over," Heather ordered, "NOW!"
"No way," Veronica scowled, "Miri, let's just go."
"Fine. Mordecai? Take it from them," Heather instructed.
Mordecai smiled, and stepped forward, only for Veronica to immediatley knee him in the crotch. Mordecai dropped to his knees, face contorted in pain.
"Like I said- useless!" Heather shouted, "Quinn, NOW!"
Quinn lunged at Miri, but Veronica got in the way, and the two fell to the ground.
"Miri! Run!" Veronica shouted.
Panicking, Miri turned and started sprinting as fast as she could, with Katie and Heather rushing after her. After running for several minutes, they began to notice other figures in the woods with them.
"Are those ZOMBIES?" Katie gasped.
Heather paid no attention. She was gaining on Miri, getting closer and closer- until one of the zombie-bots grabbed her and pulled her back.
"NO!" Heather shrieked, "Katie, don't you DARE mess this- AHHH!"
Katie turned, and fixed her gaze on Miri. The two finally made it out of the woods, the boat in sight. Katie reached out to grab Miri, but a rock suddenly flew out of nowhere and hit Katie in the temple, causing her to fall to the ground, disoriented.
"Ugh... What?" She groaned.
By the time she had gathered her thoughts, she was surrounded by zombies. She let out a scream as Finn watched from the distance, a smile on his face.
CONFESSIONAL: Finn
See, I need Mordecai to go home. And that can't happen if we win tonight's challenge... sorry Katie.
END CONFESSIONAL
Miri finally reached the boat, nearly collapsing from the physical exertion.
"And Miri wins it for the Vault Hunters!" Julie announced.
Miri looked up and forced a smile.
"Yeah," the redhead panted, "that's... great..."
"I'll have everyone called back here," Julie told her, "because of you, your team will enjoy immunity for tonight."
It took about twenty minutes for all of the contestants to arrive- most of them were unscathed, while a few suffered minor injuries, like Heather and Katie. Then there was Johnny, Ella and Margo. While Johnny was now concious, he was still very dazed, and bleeding profusely. Margo and Ella both had to be escorted back by interns, the two practically torn to ribbons.
"Oh no- the robots weren't suppose to hurt anyone that badly! What the hell happened?" Julie gasped.
CONFESSIONAL: Priscylla
What indeed? Heheheh.
END CONFESSIONAL
A medical interns came over, whispered something in Julie's ear, and then had the three injured competitors escorted away.
"Okay, I've been informed by medical personnel that Johnny, Margo and Ella are still clear to compete, however they will require a day or two in the medical bay to heal," Julie announced.
Lucky let out a sigh of relief.
"Now, a few announcements. We will remain in Oregon for the next several days until our next challenge, which, after our recent medical emergencies, will involve significantly less chance of injury," Julie told everyone, "now, this doesn't change anything for tonight's elimination. Enclave, you have an hour before you're sending someone home. Vault Hunters, you're free to do as you wish."
The contestants all began to make their way on board, with Finn bumping into Mordecai.
"Hey, watch it, asshole," Mordecai frowned.
"Oh, my apologies," Finn smiled, "I'll be more careful next time."
"Damn right you will."
As Mordecai stormed off, Finn smiled, and looked down at the 3DS he had clutched in his hand.
~o.0.o~
The two didn't see each other again until it was nearly time for elimination.
"There you are," Mordecai huffed, "I talked with Heather. The plan is to vote out Alejandro- got it?"
"Actually, I do believe I'll be sending you home tonight," Finn smiled.
"Is that right?" Mordecai frowned.
"Oh yes. You've given me enough trouble, I'm afraid, and I simply can't allow you to continue to do so."
Mordecai scowled, and reached into his pocket, pulling out his 3DS- which Finn had slipped back not minutes before.
"Think about this," Mordecai threatened, "you have one last chance to do as I say, or I call everyone over here and it's over for you."
Finn simply smiled and said, "Call them."
Mordecai sighed, before shouting, "EVERYONE, COME HERE QUICK!"
Within minutes the remaining members of the Enclave had gathered nearby.
"What is it?" Bridgette asked.
Mordecai opened his 3DS, and went into his photo albums.
"You need to see these photos I PERSONALLY took with my own system... I think you'll find their contents disturbing," Mordecai said solemnly.
Without looking, Mordecai handed his DS to Bridgette. The blonde looked through several photos, her face becoming gradually more and more disgusted.
"You sick pervert!"
"Wait, what?" Mordecai frowned.
Bridgette held up the screen for everyone to see. There were no pictures of Finn or Duncan- in their place were photos of the various girls on the Enclave. Heather putting on make-up, Quinn getting out of the shower, and Bridgette herself taking a nap. The contestants all turned and glared out Mordecai, who began to sweat.
"No, wait, I can-"
He was immediatley silenced by a punch to the jaw from Quinn, knocking him out cold.
"Explain that, asshole."
"Give me that!" Heather demanded, snatching the DS and throwing it overboard, "No wonder why he always carried it with him, the little creep!"
"I think we all know who's going home tonight," Bridgette scoffed.
Finn leaned back, and smiled to himself.
CONFESSIONAL: Finn
Don't get me wrong, Mordecai. I'm actually impressed with your efforts. You had a solid strategy, played the game well. Of course, I played it better.
END CONFESSIONAL
That night at elimination, everyone had already recieved their coins, except for Mordecai.
"Well Mordecai, saying you're eliminated is a bit of a understatement," Julie told him, "EVERYONE voted for you. Any last words before you take the lifeboat of shame?"
Mordecai immediatley turned and opened his mouth.
"Finn-"
He didn't get to finish, however, since Quinn pushed him overboard.
"Good riddance," she muttered.
"Well, that about does it for today," Julie announced, "get to bed guys... Because next time is our one-hundredth episode spectacular!"
~o.0.o~
Off in the distance, an unknown figure watched as the boat floated by the beach.
The figure wore a dirty medical gown labelled with the name "C. McLean". He watched a while before turning and walking away.
"Time to get my show back."
(A/N: this chapter is pretty rushed, I know, but I have an excuse. I was working on this the same time I was working on Reality Rush- which, by the way, has been posted. Go check it out. Also, as it turns out, I was wrong when I said last chapter that episode none was the hundredth episode- it's actually the NEXT episode, which is shaping up to be a two-parter. So, I'm going to give a couple of days if you guys have any questions or suggestions. The sooner I get them, the dinner part one will be posted. Also, while the next episode is the one-hundredth episode special, keep in mind that as you read this, work on the Gravity Falls crossover has begun. I'm not entirely sure which will be up first. Anyway, hope you enjoyed- and again, please check out Reality Rush, a new story in the same universe written by me and Technow. See you next time!)
