The three teenagers just stood there on the beach awkwardly for who knows how long; slowly they went closer to the beach to sit down and try and talk this over but they didn't know what to do. They just sat there and the minutes went on and finally it was Dawn to break the silence with a deep sigh and said "Not even the sounds of the ocean can help me feel at ease... My own feelings and your auras... I feel the same emotions that I am feeling..."

"Yeah... You know what... Just sitting here is not going to do us any good!" Gwen decided as she stood up and got Lincoln to stood up as well. "Lincoln; I don't know what to say as you are probably the best friend that I made here at this cruddy camp and how you have helped me, how we bonded together with our drawing, how handsome you are and how bearable you made this stupid island for me... Thinking that I had a chance but now seeing that you like Dawn as well..." Gwen muttered as Lincoln just took this in as Dawn stood up as well.

"You have been a joy as well to me Lincoln; not only am I glad to be making proper human friends in despite of my nature but there is you Lincoln who is in awe of my talents and ways instead of being creeped out at best. Plus how cute and it wasn't unpleasant to fully take in the fact that you were actually my first kiss and my first real human friend as well! I saw you in your magician's suit and I was jealous of your assistant; was in denial about that fact even to myself..." Dawn said and looked embarrassed at the end.

"I don't want to ruin our friendship if you decide that you ultimately love me instead of me!" Dawn and Gwen ended up saying at once to Lincoln surprising them as well as Lincoln as he thought.

"I still don't know... You both are pretty and cool in your own ways and..." Lincoln told them as they both looked at him with all different levels of worry and tenseness as he was just frustrated.

"Would be easier if you could decide to just date us both..." Dawn stated and they other two teenagers blinked at her suggestion. "Why not? If Lincoln loves us both and you're a great girl Gwen so I wouldn't mind if it came to that... Would you Gwen?" Dawn ended up asking and she was open mouthed but nodded.

"...Could we do that... You know what; this show has enough drama as it is in the name so I don't want to ruin anything so what do you say Lincoln?" Gwen asked as they both looked at Lincoln expected as he was in disbelief.

"Wait... I had a dream the other day where I was married to you both and my second youngest sister Lisa somehow didn't age in all that time so was it trying to tell me something?" Lincoln asked and Gwen just shook her head with a look of humor as Dawn giggled and they went and kissed his cheek.

There were cheering at this and they turned and saw all the other campers except for Zoe coming towards them clapping.

"Sorry but we decided to check on how you telling Gwen and Dawn went and we found all the others and we just decided to watch! Just as I suggested with the outcome Lincoln!" Sadie cheered as they took this spying in stride.

"So now it's a polyester relationship then aye Lincoln!" Ezekiel grinned with his hand on Lincoln's shoulder.

"Polyamory and I hope this three way romance doesn't affect the challenges! Don't let the fact that you have a girlfriend on the other team affect your performance Lincoln!" Courtney then said still making it clear that she was happy for them.

"Definitely! Lightning doesn't want his sworn rival to go weak from romance!" Lightning warned with a smirk.

"Lincoln you sly dog..." laughed Cody as Lindsay was giggling.

"You go guys!" DJ cheered and they came in closer to continue clapping; "So what are you going to say in the Confessional?" DJ asked as they then realised his point.

"Oh no... I already have to deal with my sisters going to let me have it for keeping my first kiss from them all this time and now this!" Lincoln cried as Dawn and Gwen put their hands on their shoulders.

"I for one want to let my Mum find out in my own time; my brother would be cool but I would probably be going home to find out that my Mum has planned our wedding." Gwen muttered shaking her head speaking as if she was dead serious about that.

"Well what is your plan? To pretend this never happened on the challenge days and act all lovey dovey on the other times?" Courtney asked as they blinked and thought it over.

"Could we pull that off? I mean Chris has cameras everywhere..." Cody pointed out and Dawn just nodded.

"If we make a solemn vow to keep this our little secret then I say that we shall! This continues being the friendly competition that it has and our new romance won't affect things..." Dawn suggested as they thought it over and put their hands together to make the vow but Lindsay was giggling and thinking that it was fun.

"Wait... Where is Zoey? She was my biggest supporter in my feelings for Lincoln... She would be stoked as most kids our age say I think..." Zoey asked as they realised that she wasn't there.

"Oh; we decided to look for berries in different locations... I am sure that she can't be far!" Lindsay said as they went out to look for her.

In the main camera room of the island Chris was fuming next to Chef who was reading a cooking magazine; "How could they do this to me? The love triangle business was gold and the viewers were loving it! They decide to resolve it off camera and decides to pretend that it never happened? I was hoping that it would continue until at least the merger... They are so going to get it..." Chris fumed with Chef holding back a chuckle.

That night the campers were going to their cabins with no luck in finding Zoey and Dawn looked terrified at the disappearance of her best friend at the island. "Now we are down another member... OW! Okay; maybe Lightning had that coming..." Lightning muttered only to end up back handed in the back of the head by a glaring DJ.

"Don't worry Dawn; I promise that we will find her safe and sound..." Lincoln promised one of his new girlfriends taking her in with an embrace and Gwen smiled at this as Lincoln helped wiped away tears on her face.

"I am sure that she will be here somewhere; if anything happened then the show would tell us and she would be in a medic area or something... She probably just got lost and we will find her... She now has experience sleeping in the trees!" DJ assured her as Lincoln got her to let go and DJ helped lead her inside their cabin as Lincoln signed feeling worry for one of his new friends as well.

"Can we expect you two to be giving eachother goodnight kisses!" Ezekiel teased as Gwen just pushed past him inside their cabin not wanting to acknowledge it. "You are the man Lincoln! Wait until I get girls wanting to be with me after I leave all famous and stuff and we can be taken celebrities together!" Ezekiel told Lincoln and laughed at his optimism about the idea as they went inside together.

Earlier Zoey miraculously wasn't that hurt from the hall (physically at least) as she landed in the messy dirt and cried as she noticed Lindsay giving her that wave with that stupid fake smile on her face as she just left her there. She got to her knees as she cried thinking like a fool.

It came to this as she was making friends on the island; Lindsay was going back to continue messing with her friends and their love live as if this was a soap opera to her. If left unchecked Lindsay could irreversibly destroy all the bonds that they were forming. Dawn tried to warn Zoey and she didn't take her seriously; she was now left with a similar fate from Tyler. She probably did something to him that she had done to her.

She was going to mess with Lincoln, Dawn and Gwen with two of them being the closest friends that she had made so far. Dawn already suspected and could be the next target. Thinking about it.

It made her feel so.

So...

Angry...

Her tears of sadness became tears of rage as she yelled out her fury and got up to her face; ripped off a bit of the bottom of her top and tied it around her forehead like a headband. She went and put her fingers to the mud and used them on her cheek as if it was war paint.

"I am going to train and hone my skills out there but when I am ready... Lindsay, I am coming for you..." Zoey swore with a determined voice that sounded uncharacteristic of her.
