"Alright, maggots!" Chef's voice rang from the speakers.

Everyone on both teams got up with a grumble. They were getting used to being woken up early, but four in the morning was a bit excessive.

"Go to the bridge now! We have today's challenge to announce!" the voice blared.

Soon, everyone still in the game was standing on the bridge, while Chris was pacing.

"Bass, where's Duncan?" the host inquired.

"Um," Courtney stuttered, "he's... using the bathroom, yeah!"

"Nice try, Princess." Duncan retorted at the entrance to the Bass's quarters.

"What were you doing?" Courtney replied, eyes glaring.

"Trying to get Sergent Sexism to wake up," Duncan explained, "since he fell asleep in the intel room again."

Everyone went quiet. Ezekiel had a habit of falling asleep in the intel room due to Chris's mandatory paperwork gimmick, which everyone suspected was used to stir up drama.

Footsteps were heard, and Ezekiel finally came out of the building, papers in hand and a pair of sunglasses on.

"Here's the papers, eh," he muttered as he handed Chef the papers. The former homeschooled kid turned around and walked away, only to be stopped by Eva.

"It's four in the morning," Eva bluntly stated while taking off Ezekiel's sunglasses. The bags under his eyes told the tale of the last few nights at the place.

"Now that everyone is here," Chris announced, "we can get to the challenge. You guys seem a bit tense from the last two challenges, so we're gonna do something easy."

Cody and Justin shared a sigh of relief. The last two challenges involved pushing a cart full of garbage bombs and stealing the rival team's IDs, respectively, and they both bombed horribly. The only reason why they got the stay was because of the bad blood Geoff gathered during the Action Aftermaths and Sierra's Cody obsession holding back the Gophers.

"...so both teams will make a play!"

A collective groan was heard.

"Now, since it's December. You'll be performing A Christmas Carol. The team with the best play will win. You have three days to prepare, starting... now! Instructions are in your bases."

Those last words were barely heard as everyone walked off towards their bases. The Red Bass soon found a stack of papers in the "meeting room."

"Alrighty, guys," Cody confidentially announced. "Let's see who's who. I'm..." His confidence faltered, and he reread the page in disbelief.

"...Tiny Tim?"

Duncan burst out laughing.

"Oh my God!" he managed to get out. "It's perfect!"

"Yes, yes," Courtney stated, taking the papers out of Cody's hand, "very funny. Let's see... I'm the Ghost of Christmas Present?!"

Ezekiel and Noah braced for a rant. Surprisingly, it didn't come, mainly because Harold snatched the papers and started to read off the castings.

"Okay, I've got it all in order." he announced.

"So go then, dweeb." Duncan replied.

"I will, gosh!" Harold replied before looking at the papers. "You're director, by the way."

"Sweet."

"Eva, you're Cousin Fred."

A sharp inhale was heard, which was followed by a "excuse me" from Eva.

"Zeke, you're- are you sleeping?"

Everyone turned towards Ezekiel, who had his hat pulled over his eyes.

"Huh... no," he replied.

"Well, according to this, you're Scrooge."

The former homeschooler's eyes widened.

"Anyway, I'm playing Marley, Heather's the Ghost of Christmas Past, Izzy's Yet to Come, Noah's Bob Cratchit, and Sadie's working on the set, which according to the document, Duncan has to help out with."

A small silence was felt, before the room broke out into minor arguments over the parts and Sadie's refusal to work with Duncan over him "being mean." The only quiet ones were Eva, Ezekiel, and Noah.

"Nice going there, Eva," Noah told her.

"Gee, thanks," she replied.

"I was being nice there."

"I know."

"I actually fell asleep there, eh," Ezekiel interrupted.

"We know," Noah retorted. "Very smooth, homeschooler. You might be able to get within reach of a functional social li-"

"Alright, campers!" Chris's voice yelled, "we have the bus outside. Time to get in, we have some plays to get on with!"

And there you have it! Part one of the comeback! In case you're wondering, Canadian Idiots is on hold indefinitely, but Dorms, GvK, and Robot Masters are still running! Just very slowly.
