Squad A

"Please do not use a needle and cheap earrings to pierce my ears, which I highly would not like," Amelie said.

Taylor S just giggled, as she grabbed some earrings out of her pocket. "Do you want the baby pink ones, or the baby blue ones?"

"C; none of the above," mumbled Amelie, as she mouthed help me to Emily. Even though Emily was 'boy crazy,' she ended up being a good friend.

"Hey, Tay! How about you pierce my ears?" Emily asked, winking at Amelie.

Taylor S squealed. "Oh my gawd, yes! Amelie, just be patient," she added as she scrambled to get her 'equipment.'

"Oh, I will," Amelie said, but as soon as Taylor S's head was turned, Amelie dashed out of the room.

"Good for her," Jean said as Amelie left. "Amelie shouldn't have to get her ears pierced, if she doesn't want to," he shuddered, as his mind wandered.

Tony raised an eyebrow. "Hey, Jeanster? What's up?"

Jean replied, "Oh, I was just remembering something. My mom wanted the entire family to get matching pierced ears. Me, my mom, my dad, and my older sister Peyton. I was screaming and crying when they pierced it. And guess what? Peyton ended up getting an ear infection from the piercing, so I never actually put in any earrings. And I'm glad for that."

"That sounds unnice. Hey, Makoto! Come sit with us!" Mikaio said, confused why Makoto was part of the alliance, but sitting on his bunk.

Makoto looked up from his book on martial arts, and shrugged. "Nah, I'm good."

Makoto: "I'm more of a lone wolf, so although I'm in an alliance, I still need some patience and time to myself."

"Oh, and did you guys know that I-" Angie said, trying to get into the conversation.

"NO ONE CARES, ANGIE!" The others all exclaimed, Ben exclaiming around two seconds late.

Tony whispered, "Good job Ben, just be a little bit more on time."

"Okie," Ben said, smiling at himself.

Squad B

"Imagine if Paris was still here, he'd freak out," Taylor K pointed out, seeing the slight mess on the ground. Around her, was Jacques, Allison, Sharron, and Joy.

Allison looked at the mess, and chuckled. "Yeah. Have I thanked you enough for helping me out?" She added, lying through her teeth.

"I think so," Taylor K said. "But one sorry is enough."

Jacques nodded. "I agree. But it's sorta boring right now, we're just sitting on a bunk bed with us five."

"Hey, I have an idea!" Joy exclaimed. "How about we make some friendship bracelets?"

Sharron, Jacques, and Taylor K nodded eagerly, but Allison paused. "Uh..I'm not a fan of bracelets…how about we do friendship rings?"

Allison: "You know, I don't want COMMITMENT, so we make rings, I accidentially 'lose' my ring, and I make sure they don't make another one because rings are so hard! Easy."

"I wanna make the rings! I just need some…cookies! Yeah, cookie rings!" Sharron said.

"Ooo, that seems fun!" Joy exclaimed. "Do you wanna do it now?"

Taylor K shrugged. "I don't mind doing it now…but we should do it at the mess hall. Chris said we could use it at anytime."

"Where else would we do it?" Allison asked, making the others laugh.

Taylor K: "Allison is so nice. But I'm noticing that she puts on a lot of concealer in the morning…"

"Go, go, go!" Joy exclaimed, as they went with the others to the mess hall.

Meanwhile, Niraj and Mitch were sitting on Niraj's bed.

"And that is exactly why all anime is a disgrace to anime culture!" Niraj finished, as he was talking to Mitch. "Hey, Mitch, did you get all that?"

Mitch's eyes looked up. "Huh? The only anime I've seen is on those mobile ads. And…why is anime bad?"

Niraj groaned. "Mitch, you need to listen! Anime is basically showing japan, a country with a long history, many unique features, and a variety of landscapes, and what do they choose? Boys with spiky hair who run with their hands behind their back while screaming like a mouse!"

"So, you think it's stereotypical?" Mitch asked. "Then what about the other anime, like school ones and love stories?"

Niraj shrugged. "Those aren't as bad, but I still think they're a bit stereotypical. The worst thing you could see me do is watch anime."

After hearing that, Mitch chuckled. "Maybe when you're eliminated, they'll send you to japan- to watch anime."

"First off, it's if- not when," Niraj said. "But yeah, that would be a punishment indeed." The two were interrupted by strumming of a guitar. Five was at it again.

As Five hummed, Niraj and Mitch just listened, slightly awed. After the song ended, Mitch pointed out, "Wow…Five. You're good."

"Yeah, I know, I've played for around…since I was five," Five said.

Niraj asked, "Is that why you call yourself Five? What's your real name?"

Five replied, "My real name is Feivel, and Five is just more catchy then Feivel, am I right?"

"You're right, Five. Hey, if you want, you can come down here and talk with us instead of being alone up there," Mitch pointed out.

Five went all cold and said, "I'm not alone. The music is my friend. And at least music can't betray me," they added, going back to strumming.

"Wait, betray you?" Niraj asked. "Five, explain why you think we'd betray you."

"Friends never stick. Either two of your friends kick you out, or you and a friend kick someone else out, or everyone just suddenly hates eachother for a weird reason…Friends never stick," Five said. They then mumbled, "It's not wor-" they were interrupted by the sound of a clink onto their bed. Then it ticked.

"Fritz, I swear-" Niraj said. "RUN!" The three ran out of the room, the ticking bomb about to go off. "BOOM!" The bomb went off.

Five mumbled, "When I get deep, a pyromaniac has to ruin it."

At Squad C, however, it was pretty silent. Alexa was sadly laying on her bed, Bloody was chewing on an empty paint bottle that Nicholas had given him, and the others were just getting into the mood.

"Psst, Luna," Lilly whispered to Luna.

Luna mumbled, "What…"

Lilly said, "We should make an art collaboration! Maybe…on the wall?"

"I guess, maybe," Luna said. "What should the theme of the collaboration be?"

"I know. A cherry blossom tree, blossoming in the wind?" Lilly asked. "If that's alright."

Luna shrugged. "Sure, Let me get the brown and lavender paint." They kneeled down under their bed, and grabbed two tanks of paint. "Take this," Luna said to Lilly, giving her the lavender paint.

"Come on!" Lilly said, taking Luna's hand and taking them to the side of the exterior cabin, happily.

Meanwhile, Tammie was sitting on her bed, cranking the Jack In A Box in her hand. As Tammie mumbled the hum, Nate looked at her, confused.

"I don't get why you'd wanna play with that thing, isn't it for kids?" Nate asked. Side-eyeing Nate, Tammie put the jack in the box in Nate's hands.

"Wha-" Nate said, as the box popped open. The 'jack' was all bloody, with a knife through it's nose. "WHOAAAAA! THAT'S CRAZY!"

Tammie chuckled. "Exactly."

Not everyone was chuckling, though. Nessa was sitting on her bed, staring at Glenn, who was talking with Nicholas happily.

"I wish I wasn't so quiet," sighed Nessa. Noticing Nessa's upset, Alexa felt bad for her.

"Don't get too lovey. This is a reality show," Alexa pointed out. "Your true someone is out there, not here."

Nessa said to Alexa, "But I feel like Glenn is that someone! Please help, Alexa."

Alexa knew she didn't wanna put in the effort of explaining all the romance tips to Nessa, but for some reason, she felt like she had to help Nessa. "Okay, so let's start with romantic gestures…"

"Hey, Glenn, the girls are talking about you," Nicholas pointed out to Glenn.

Glenn raised his eyebrow. "Wha? Are you sure about that?"

"Listen. I think Nessa may like you," Nicholas said.

Glenn blushed. "Wait, what?"
