Lincoln woke up the next morning and remembered how badly Sadie was taking it after Katie was eliminated and kept crying at the edge of the docks even after the Boat of Losers was out of sight; Lincoln knew that at points in these competitions you would have to eliminate people you come to see as friends but still seeing Sadie like that after having her life long best friend. He looked to Sadie in her bed and she looked like she had spent the night crying and shook his head.

"Are you alright Sadie... Come on Katie would want you to move on... Do your best and show what you can do... You will be fine..." Lincoln said trying to sound upbeat in his voice as he went closer to reassure her and she went to embrace him and cry over his shoulder as he told her to just let it out.

"...Wow it looks like that having all those sisters have given you experience in comforting girls." snickered Courtney as she was her spare hairbrush to brush her new pet racoon Brittany.

"Yet... Bro has his own girl issues with Dawn and Gwen..." Ezekiel said with everyone jumping in surprise to hear him speak like that and he look confused at the looks that he was getting. "You know; with him crushing on them both and he knows what to do..." Ezekiel spoke and Lincoln looked horrified at Ezekiel realising that as everyone else's mouths were wide open.

"What? Why would you think that?" Cody asked in disbelief as Lincoln was gulping.

"Uh... Was I really the only one picking up on the hints like how he was close to them and how he acted when Gwen kissed his cheek and when he and Dawn discovered that they were their first kisses aye... Guess that shows how smartical I am!" Ezekiel responded and then bragged.

"Well excuse us for not paying close attention to these hints farm boy!" Courtney sighed shaking her head as Cody started whistling.

"Uh... Can you guys please keep it to yourselves and not say anything... I am struggling what to do about it now!" Lincoln pleaded not ready for more people to find out when he was at a lost at what to do. "I have had many crushes and maybe 1 girlfriend that became just friends after we went long distance and I don't know what to do!" Lincoln cried going to his knees as they looked at him in pity as Ezekiel went to put his hand on his shoulder.

"If only he could date both of them... Me and Katie used to dream about us dating the same guy..." Sadie said as Courtney shook her head.

"I doubt that Lincoln going to them both and asking them right away to be in a polyamorous relationship would be ideal in salvaging even their friendship." Courtney replied as she got confused looks especially from Ezekiel. "It means having different romantic partners with them all knowing and accepting." Courtney explained as they were surprised about that.

"That's a real term?" Ezekiel asked shocked as Courtney grinned.

"What? Are you not so smartical to not know about that?" Courtney asked mockingly with Ezekiel fuming and Courtney looked serious as she went up to Lincoln. "Lincoln; the best thing to do from what I think is to just admit what you feel to them both and talk amongst yourselves. Try and discuss it and see how to go about it and how they feel; one or both may return your feelings but I guess try at least to make sure that you at least stay friends." Courtney told him and Lincoln smiled at the CIT helping him out.

"Thanks Courtney; I am going to go find them! Wish me luck!" Lincoln said running out of the cabin having slept in his clothes that night.

"I can't believe it... Gwen likes him and I had been trying to be her wingman but if he likes that Dawn girl as well..." Cody asked and they looked at him.

Zoey and Lindsay had gone out to the forest together to look for blueberries; Zoey had suggested it for some bonding with friends but she just wanted to keep an eye on Lindsay just so that she could tell Dawn later that she was paranoid for nothing. Lindsay was just a sweet girl who was kind of dumb; to think that she was someone to be worried about or that Tyler wanted us to be warned about...

"Oh my; I love blueberries! Wish we had more when we were camping out here!" Lindsay said grinning as Zoey smiled at her as she liked them herself. They then noticed Lincoln running up to them and he seemed to be in a hurry to their shock.

"Hi girls but do you know where Dawn and Gwen are? Sorry but I need to talk to them about something!" Lincoln said as Zoey wondered why he wanted to find them both; she would be excited if it was just Dawn as if he wanted to confess but them both?

"I think Gwen went to draw at the beach and Dawn went to meditate near the ocean..." Zoey told him and he looked grateful. "Why are you in such a rush Lincoln?" Zoey asked concerned but he grinned at Lindsay.

"Great news Lindsay; I have an idea on what to do now! I am just going to tell Dawn and Gwen how I feel about them! Thanks for keeping it to yourself Lindsay!" Lincoln told Lindsay and she looked nervous and Zoey was more confused. "Truth is Zoey... I have been conflicted about starting to crush on both Dawn and Gwen and I ended up drawing pictures of them that I lost but Lindsay found them for me and... Sorry but I just feel like I am in the moment now!" Lincoln said as he just ran off again as Zoey took that in.

"That can't be right... Lindsay; I thought that it was only Dawn that Lincoln drew... Where are you going Lindsay?" Zoey asked only to see Lindsay running off and began chasing after her.

Dawn was at the beach meditating while Gwen was nearby drawing the waves as they kept giving glances to eachother; each wondering if the other was a romantic rival for Lincoln's affections from how they saw the other interact with Lincoln and a tinge of jealousy but none of bitterness.

"Can see from your aura Gwen that at school you're a loner like me at school; with the kids not wanting to be friends. Gets kind of lonely doesn't it." Dawn said as Gwen looked creeped out and just sighed.

"Just being nice you are and I understand; trying to get used to this reading people thing you have... I heard you and Zoey cleaned up the beach; I appreciate your work." Gwen told her with a smile and Dawn smiled as well.

"I also read that you are into protecting the environment as well so another thing that we have in common!" Dawn told her as Gwen just gave a nod.

"If it's not too much trouble Dawn but... If you can read me like a book then how about tell me something about yourself that I don't know yet..." Gwen said and Dawn gave a nod happy to do so.

"I am not into influencers like other kids at my school except for one; have you heard of Julia?" Dawn asked and Gwen gave a nod.

"Heard about her; some sort of hippie influencer..." Gwen answered as Dawn grinned.

"Oh I just love her and how positive she is and how much she cares for Mother Earth... I would be lucky to get to meet her one day and I just know that we would be friends instantly!" Dawn admitted as she laughed. They heard a yell and saw Lincoln trip and fall onto the beach as he ran as they ran to him worried to help him up.

"Dawn... Gwen... I don't know what to do and it's hard with these feelings but... I AM CRUSHING ON YOU BOTH!" Lincoln yelled and felt that it was great letting it out until he saw the shocked looks on their faces.

Zoey ended up chasing Lindsay to the mountain with them up a ledge that wasn't foo far from the ground as Zoey was confused about this. "I am tired... Can't run forever..." Lindsay groaned to herself shaking her head as Zoey looked her way.

"Lindsay please tell me what is going on... Did Lincoln draw Gwen was well then why didn't you act like he didn't if he did..." Zoey asked pleading with her to answer as Lindsay groaned.

"He did... I showed the Dawn one to her and you and the Gwen one to her and Cody... Got them to be quiet like I told you two... Thought the drama would be fun..." Lindsay sighed out as Zoey was open mouthed at hearing that.

"What? Why would you do such a thing? For fun... Lindsay; that is actually manipulative and so not cool!" Zoey cried unable to believe this.

"Well it was fun to watch as like a soap opera and I was hoping to keep it going... I thought the jig was up in the camp when I got Tyler to help me find berries in the night but we just had to overhear Cody and Gwen talking about the picture..." Lindsay sighed and Zoey was open mouthed and horrified.

"Tyler! That's what he wanted to say... Oh my god... Dawn, said that the bear said he tried to warn us all about you... I didn't listen... I defended you and thought that she was being paranoid..." Zoey asked in horror but then Lindsay started laughing... Zoey then saw that Lindsay was giving her an uncharacteristic smirk.

"They call me the dumb one..." Lindsay laughed as Zoey took this in; "So fun... You know getting bored at school and I have to get fun while I can... Whether it's getting guys to do my work for me or messing about with relationships..." laughed Lindsay as Zoey started crying and drying away her tears.

"I thought... You were a friend... I defended you... I can see why you wanted to be friends with Heather but you got her to snap to save your own butt... You know that you are finished right; I am telling everyone..." Zoey told her as Lindsay sighed.

"Zoey... I do see you all as friends that I like to mess about with... I sincerely hope that you survive this..." Lindsay sighed as she went and pushed Zoey off the ledge with her back colliding with the ground...
