30. Paintball Deer Hunter

"Last time on Total Drama Island," Chris recalled, "Both teams were sent on a canoe trip to deadly Boney Island." The scene flashed back to the island, then to Sky playing the idol. "Dave and Sky played their idol straight away, swapping Jo for Rodney," Chris continued. "Keep the muscle, not so much the brain." The scene changed to Mike and Anne-Maria's fight. "There were a LOT of canoe fights. That'll leave a mark."

...

The scene changed to Cody and Gwen in their canoe. "Cody hit on Gwen about eighty times," Chris continued, "But he made up for it by setting her up with the guy she actually wanted to hang with: Trent. Good strategy, bro." The scene flashed back to the Frogs' encounter with the woolly beavers and Ella calming the beavers with her singing. "The teams ran into some prehistoric beavers, where we discovered that Ella's annoying voice can even tame the closest thing to living dinosaurs. HOW?"

...

The scene changed to the Bears reaching the shore first. "There were winners AKA the Bears with them gaining victory by having a small fire but a big head start on the canoes back." The scene changed to the Gophers backing away before Izzy tossed her glob into the fire. "And there were losers, AKA the Gophers." The scene changed to the elimination ceremony. "The last marshmallow was set to go to either Izzy or Sarah, but the RCMP swooped in and BAM! Izzy hightailed it out of there! Man, I knew the girl was nuts but I didn't know she was completely INSANE!" The scene changed to Alejandro planting the tiki doll and Rose pocketing it. "However, one Gopher may have secretly done something even crazier when she brought home a creepy stick statue voodoo thingy from the DEADLY haunted island."

...

The scene returned to Chris on the dock. "Will Rose live to regret pocketing that mysterious souvenir?" he narrated. "And can my teeth possibly get any whiter?" He flashed a grin. "Find out here on Total...Drama...Island!"

It was early the next morning. Inside the spa hotel, Ethan was sleeping soundly in his bed. "I'm glad he's getting some rest after yesterday," Paul noted as he and Melody stood by the bedroom doorway. "He looked pretty freaked out."

"Of course you would care so much," Melody teased, making the mechanic blush a bit.

"Well, the team needs him at his best."

"As do you. How are you doing, Paul?"

"Um, okay, I guess."

"Any memories returning to you?"

"Not really."

"Yo, lovebirds," Dave cut in as he approached them. "Why don't you come to the kitchen? The new guy's making breakfast."

"Quite a generous act," Melody noted. "Let's go." She and Paul walked off together, while Dave just had a quizzical look.

Confessional: Dave (Confused Bears)

"I noticed the grumpy mechanic blushing around the spooky girl. I'm not sure you should be falling for a girl that plays with Ouija boards and pets snakes."

Confessional: Melody (Confused Bears)

She was petting Strangle. "I'm glad Paul's okay now, even if he still cannot regain his memories of that night. I also hope Rodney can adjust being apart from his destined one and his friend Nikki. It can be quite a big change for him."

In the kitchen, Rodney was stirring a large pot on the stove. "Something smells tasty," Paul noted as he, Melody and Dave went into the kitchen.

"It's just some veggie soup," Rodney replied. "Sorry if it looks like too much. I'm kinda used to feeding for many people."

"Good morning, guys," Sky greeted as she walked into the kitchen. "Everything alright?"

"Rodney got some vegetable soup for us this morning," Melody explained.

"Oh, that reminds me. You never got a proper introduction to our new team yet, did you, Rodney?"

"Uh..." Rodney stammered.

"Maybe I should start now. I'm Sky, and you've already met Paul and Melody yesterday in the canoes."

"Note of advice," Dave added, "She pets snakes."

"Strangle's harmless," Paul argued. "Well, unless you piss off Melody."

"That would be Dave," Sky explained to Rodney, "And I'm sure some of the others will be waking up soon so you can meet them."

"I'd be careful around some of them," Dave suggested. "Sugar's gross and Priya can be pretty intense with her TD training. Tyler's a klutz and don't expect to see Shawn in here. He's stationed in a tree to keep the zombies from getting him."

"And whatever you do," Paul added, "NEVER let Destiny behind the wheel of any vehicle. It'll only end in disaster."

"Someone call my name?" Destiny asked as she, Greg and Ella entered the kitchen. "Yo, Rodster! How's it being the newbie?"

"That's Destiny," Sky explained, "And the guy she's with is Greg. And the other girl is Ella."

"Who sings," Dave put in, "Constantly."

"Really?" Rodney thought. "I like singing, too! Check it." He sang a few off-key notes, making most of the others cover their ears. "We've heard enough," Greg decided as he pinched Rodney's mouth shut. "Leave the music to the professionals like Desi."

"Uh, okay," Rodney shrugged. "She could probably sing those pop songs better than me."

"Ha!" Destiny laughed. "Very wunny, dude. I prefer something a little heavier."

"Not now," Paul advised. "The others are still asleep."

"They are?" Ella thought. "Oh. I was gonna ask Prince Ethan to come with me to see the cave with all the drawings on it."

"Let him sleep. After yesterday, he..." Paul paused for a moment. "What did you just call him?" he asked Ella.

"Perhaps you could take Shane along with you," Melody suggested. "You seem to have worked well together before."

"Great idea, Melody," Ella replied. "I'll get my cloak and meet up." She hummed as she skipped off. "Another weird one," Dave muttered.

Over by the Frog cabin, Ella (now with her red cloak on) knocked on the door. "Whoa," Zee breathed out after opening the door. "Little Red Riding Hood's here. Fairy tales are true!"

"Good morning to you, too," Ella giggled. "Is Shane awake, by any chance? I wish for him to join me on a walk."

"Someone call my name?" Shane yawned. He then stumbled outside and fell at Ella's feet. "Oh, Ella! What brings you here?" Before Ella could answer, the duo heard a helicopter flying low. "The plane!" Zee shouted. "The plane!" Chris simply winked as he flew the copter lower. Anne-Maria groaned as she covered her head with her pillow. "Keep it down out there!" she shouted.

"Pretty please?" Phoebe moaned from underneath her blanket. Chris circled the helicopter around, with the noise waking Leshawna and making her bump her head on the bed. "Okay," she bitterly declared, "That dude is REALLY starting to get on my last nerve!"

"It took you this long to lose your patience with Chris?" Lacey asked. "I'm a bit impressed."

"Whatever," Heather commented. "He just loves ruining our mornings. Beth, Lindsay, go warm up the shower for me. Now! And remember..."

"Not too hot this time," Beth yawned, "I know."

"I cannot believe that deranged host of ours tried to interrupt my beauty sleep," Valerie complained. "I'm going back to bed." However, a loud whistle jolted her awake again. "I will not have you squirms slacking off," Jo declared as a whistle hung from her neck. "Get your asses out of bed!"

"Do we have to?" Samey groaned. Her blanket was yanked off before Jo dragged her out of bed. "Keep it moving," Jo ordered as she did the same to Sierra, Nikki, Zoey and Scarlett.

"Hold it, Gray and Gruesome," Valerie cut in as she faced Jo. "Just who said you could boss us around?"

"Because it's the law of nature, Clown Face. The strongest of the pack is the leader."

"What the hell did you just say?! Clown Face?! I will NOT take that lying down!"

"Both of you just shut up already," Keith cut in as he and Brick stood by the doorway. "It's too early to be getting a headache."

"Morning, new competitor," Brick greeted with a salute. "Feeling welcome to the Frogs?"

"You mean 'morning, Captain'," Jo corrected as she faced the cadet.

"Yeah, not happening," Keith told her. "Oh, and one more thing." He tossed Phoebe to the floor. "Keep the squirt there on the girls' side."

"Hi!" Phoebe happily greeted after returning to her feet. "Welcome to the Frogs, Miss Josephine!"

"Excuse me?" Jo scolded. Brick quickly covered Phoebe's mouth with his hands. "We've talked about this," he whispered to her. "Just call her 'ma'am', okay?"

"Still babying her as usual, I see," Keith scoffed.

"I am NOT babying her!"

"Gorilla Arms has a point," Jo said. "That girl is a complete baby."

"I am sixteen years old, ma'am," Phoebe corrected.

"Then ACT like it, Wonder Wuss." Jo then stormed off. "So," Samey moaned from the floor, "Fun start to the day, huh?" A short time later, most of the girls were waiting outside of the communal bathrooms. "What's the hold-up?" Bridgette asked.

"Heather needs her private time," Lindsay explained.

"How much longer will Queenie be in there?" Lacey demanded. "I got urgent business here!"

"She could still be a while," Beth said.

"The human bladder is incapable of holding urine for more than a few hours," Scarlett told them. "Tell her to hurry it up before we get an infection."

"Move it, Nerdette," Jo barked out. "I'm going next."

"Hey!" Rose protested. "You can't cut in line! We all have to wait." However, Jo simply pounded on the door. "Open up this instant!" she demanded. She suddenly felt some liquid on her head. "Where's this water coming from?"

"This just in," Luna announced from the rooftop, "Wawanakwa's Weather Report: 100% chance of rain at the bathrooms...from me."

"EW!" Samey gagged as everyone backed away from Jo. "Luna, that is completely gross!"

"Grosser than a manchineel fruit?"

"That's it," Jasmine decided. "I'm going lumberjack style."

"Me, too," Samey quickly agreed as she followed her. The others heard the loudspeakers giving some feedback. "I hope you're ready for the most challenging challenge yet," Chris announced. "Breakfast in three minutes at the campfire pit."

"Um, Heather?" Beth spoke up as she knocked on the door.

"Can one of you come in here and lotion my back?" Heather requested from inside. "It's peeling." Beth turned around but saw no one behind her. She then entered the bathroom. "Looks like our fun is over," Greg sighed.

"Not if we win again!" Destiny rallied. "Let's do this! WHOO!" She wrapped Greg and Rodney in a tight hug, with Rodney getting a lovestruck look. "Uh, Rodster?" Destiny asked. "Hello?" Rodney quickly slapped himself in the face. "Focus," he muttered. "Focus!"

Confessional: Rodney (Confused Bears)

"I'm trying my best to follow Nikki's advice about me and girls, but putting it into practice is trickier than I thought. I snapped myself out of it quickly enough with Destiny. Hopefully it doesn't happen again or I might get kicked off."

End Confessional

Later, the campers were seated at the campfire area. "Are you ready for today's EXTREME MAX IMPACT CHALLENGE?!" Chris announced.

"We are ready!" Owen exclaimed while Leshawna simply shook her head.

"Incoming!" Chris tossed a can that Sarah quickly caught. "This is breakfast," Chris explained as he passed the other cans to the rest of the campers.

"No," Heather corrected, "Breakfast is crepes, croissants, even Chef's crappy burnt eggs."

"These are...beans," Millie noted. "This won't be like the last challenge where you gave us beans, right?"

"Beans, beans, they're good for your heart," Owen sang, "The more you eat, the more you-" He was silenced when a can hit him in the face and knocked him out. "Today's challenge is about survival," Chris began. "We're going hunting."

"That's more like it," Duncan noted while Keith and Jo smirked.

"Oh..." Phoebe moaned as she hid behind Brick. "Can't we have the raptors again?"

"Is that a paintball gun?" Harold asked.

"Why, yes, Harold," Chris replied before shooting him in the chest. "It is."

"So we won't be killing anything?" Bridgette thought.

"Negatory. This is the first-ever paintball deer hunt. I'll announce the teams once we get into the woods, so...finish brekkie." The Gophers heard Owen belch. "Got any more?" he asked.

"Help yourself, Butterball," Jo scoffed as she tossed her can away. Later, everyone was gathered in the woods. "And now for the team breakdowns," Chris announced. "Firstly, the Toxic Rat hunters are...Harold, Anthony, Geoff, Sam and Bridgette. Locked and loaded with blue paint. Bears, your hunters will be...Sky, Ezekiel, Priya, Millie, Sugar and Rodney, with lime-green paint. Frogs of Death with white paint will have...Sierra, Zee, Anne-Maria, Nikki and Phoebe. And using orange paint are the Gopher hunters Leshawna, Lucas, Helen, Beth, Owen and Lindsay."

"WA-HOO!" Owen cheered. "This is awesome, man!"

"Totally wicked!" Helen exclaimed. "YEAH!"

"Yuck," Phoebe gagged as she tossed her paintball gun to the ground.

"You also get these styling glasses and wicked camo caps," Chris explained. "The rest of you are now deer. Here are your antlers, noses and little white tails."

"Yeah, right," Valerie scoffed. "I am not wearing that. It totally clashes with my outfit."

"There is no way I'm a deer," Duncan argued.

"Take these off and your team is toast," Chris told him as he put the deer gear on him.

"This is ridiculous," Keith muttered as he held the deer antlers. "I should be a hunter, not these wimps."

"You dropped this," Zee told Phoebe as he passed her the paintball gun.

"Yuck," Phoebe gagged as she tossed it back to the ground.

"See?" Keith pointed out. "I'm trading with Phoebe."

"No tradesies," Chris explained. Keith grumbled before putting the antlers on his head. He noticed Owen chuckling. "What are you looking at?" Keith demanded.

"Oh, nothing," Owen teased, "Bambi." He tugged Keith's tail. "You better be a good shot, Tubby," Keith warned.

"Yuck," Phoebe gagged as she tossed her paintball gun down on the ground again.

"That's it," Jo decided. "Someone pass me some rope." Jasmine tossed her a ball of rope, and Jo quickly bound Phoebe to the paintball gun. "I guess that's one way to deal with it," Anne-Maria commented while spray-painting her camo hat. "And...done. Purple camo is so much better than the original."

"Eh, maybe..." Samey shrugged with uncertainty.

"Wait, wait, wait," Lucas thought. "So, let me get this straight: I'm a hunter and the little bruja over there is a deer?" He started to chuckle a little before laughing like Seth Rollins. "Yeah!" Luna exclaimed. "This is gonna be FUN!" She joined in with her own maniacal laughter, much to the others' discomfort. "Great," Sam sarcastically commented. "You've created a monster."

"Loving the enthusiasm," Chris commented. "The deer will get a bit of a head start in-" He suddenly saw one person dash off. "Amy?" Zoey asked. Jasmine touched the cloud Samey left behind, which vanished.

Confessional: Jasmine (Frogs of Death)

"Damn, she's a quickie! But considering what's going on in that masked man's head regarding Amy, I can't really blame her for running off like that."

In one area, the Rats' deer were walking along a path. "At least we get a head start," Courtney commented. "We should split up so we're not an easy target for the other teams' hunters."

"Well I say we stick together," Scott countered. "Strength in numbers, you know."

"The man makes a good point," Bowie agreed.

"That's a stupid idea," Austin argued. "We'll be sitting ducks that way. Guys, what are y'all thinking?"

"I don't know about y'all," DJ spoke up, "But I'm outta here." He started to hop away like a real deer while people such a as Duncan and Scott stared in shock. "Guess we're splitting up," Bowie shrugged. He noticed a certain influencer was absent. "Did you see which way Julia went?" he quietly asked Scott. "She's gone missing."

"Find her and maybe accidentally let her get hit?" Scott suggested. He then heard Bowie whisper something else. "Sure thing, budster," Scott snickered before walking off.

Confessional: Scott (Toxic Rats)

"Smart choice in letting me hunt down Moolia instead of Bowie. But what he doesn't know is that Luna also vanished alongside that influencer. Those two would be a dangerous threat if they started to team up. Bowie also asked that I go look for some kind of phone battery whatsit. Don't know why, but I ain't gonna waste time asking questions when it ain't important."

End Confessional

On another path, most of the Bears' deer were walking along. "Do you think we're far enough?" Greg asked.

"We should probably find some good hiding spots just to be safe," Dave informed the others. "And I see Shawn already did just that."

"Wow, he's good," Tyler complimented.

"Maybe we ought to go in pairs so we'll have each others' backs," Ethan suggested. "I can go with Paul."

"No way, Galahad," Destiny argued. "I ain't letting you get your hands on him!"

"I was kinda thinking of having Melody tag along with me," Paul spoke up.

"I will bring you three along," Melody decided, "If only to keep you under control."

"What, are you saying I'm noisy?"

"Well, your supporters certainly aren't quiet." Melody giggled while Ethan simply had a meek smile. "Just go already!" Dave demanded. "Everyone else find someplace to hide and stay put."

The Frogs were racing down a path. "Think this is far enough?" Shane panted.

"Well, sticking together will only make us a bigger target," Jasmine explained while tying some leaves around her arms. "We need to split up and hide."

"What's with the leaves, Outback?" Jo inquired.

"My height might give me away, so I'm disguising myself as a tree so I could stand a chance. Watch." Jasmine stepped towards a tree and adjusted herself. "Wow," Brick complimented. "Incredible camouflaging."

"Yeah, yeah," Keith shrugged. "Let's just get this stupid challenge over with." Most of the Frogs split apart. "Excuse me, Jo," Scarlett spoke up as she and Cameron approached her, "But may I request a conversation?"

"Why would I waste my breath with our weaklings?" Jo scoffed.

"We're not weak," Cameron defended. "We have plenty of mental strength to our name."

"Let's get to the point," Scarlett continued. "Jo, if you really wish to be a hunter, why not simply grab a paintball gun from someone such as Zee or Phoebe?"

"I'm liking that idea," Jo snickered.

"Hold on," Cameron protested. "We can't do that. It's against the rules. Chris said so."

"Chris said we couldn't trade places," Scarlett countered. "He said nothing about STEALING them. What are you waiting for, Jo? You want Keith or Clown Face beating you to the punch?" Jo widened her eyes before running off. "Scarlett, are you sure about this?" Cameron asked.

"It will be a strategical move no matter how things turn out," Scarlett explained once Jo was out of earshot. "If Jo does succeed, we'll have a powerful shot at victory. But in case we come in last, everyone will blame the trigger happy new guy and vote her off, getting rid of a powerful competitor before she becomes a threat to us."

"But still, you're suggesting stealing from someone that doesn't deserves it."

"It's survival of the fittest, Cameron. If you can't be willing to do what it takes to get far, you'll become a predator's prey very quickly."

Meanwhile, the Gophers were walking along a different path. "This may be the latest thing I've ever done in my life," Gwen sighed.

"I think you're right," Bryan agreed, "And I've had to play an inanimate shrub in a play before."

"Aw, come on," Cody encouraged. "It could be fun." However, his only reply were some skeptical looks. "Okay," Cody said, "Catch you later." He quickly ran off.

Confessional: Cody (Screaming Gophers)

He was bandaged and sitting in a wheelchair. "I was so psyched to be a deer. I'm small but I'm quick. Lots of practice from dodging spitballs in math class."

"Aren't you coming?" Sarah asked Heather when she saw the queen bee sitting on a stump.

"No," Heather replied while filing her nails, "I'm going to wait for Lindsay and Beth and make them protect me for the whole game."

"Wouldn't that be against the rules?" Bryan thought.

"Do you see a rules person anywhere? Worry about your own fluffy tails."

"Fine," Carly decided. "You can do your own thing. So, um, maybe we could pair up? Trent?"

"I'll go with Trent," Gwen sternly said while shooting Carly a glare.

"Uh, sure," Trent shrugged.

"Okay," Carly nervously replied, "But-"

"Good thinking, Gwen," Rose cut off as he held Carly back by the arm. "You're more than welcome to Mister Jerky...Jerkface. Come on, Carly." The duo walked off. "What was that about?" Bryan asked Sarah, who only shrugged in response.

Confessional: Rose (Screaming Gophers)

"So I'm not good at insults. But after Trent just suddenly blew up on me yesterday, after I had tried to help him...well, I'm upset with him. What does Carly see in him, anyway?"

End Confessional

"And...break!" Harold announced to the Rats' hunters. He, Geoff, Anthony and Sam put on their shades. "So how are we to do this, crew?" Anthony asked. "Should we split up or stay in a group?"

"I can go on my own," Sam volunteered. "I've played a number of first-person shooting games, so I definitely know how to work a paintball gun."

"You a skilled shooter?" Anne-Maria scoffed from the Frogs' group. "You couldn't hit the side of a house with a cannonball." Sam simply aimed his paintball gun at Zee's soda can and fired, covering the orange can in blue paint. "You've definitely proven yourself," Harold complimented as he patted Sam's back. "If you can hit a soda can, hitting the others will be a breeze."

"Looks like we'll have serious competition," Sky noted to the Bears' hunters. "Just make sure you hit your target, but don't hit our own. Chris might count friendly fire."

"We've got this in the bag again," Sugar boasted. "Just look at that surfer girl." Ezekiel noticed Bridgette's sullen look. "Um, you know that this is just a pretend game, eh?" he assured her as he walked over. "And that it's just paint? So, say if you, um, hit Heather..."

"Wait, Heather's a deer?" Bridgette thought as she perked up. She picked up her paintball gun and joined the other Rats' hunters. Ezekiel just beamed in response until Priya slapped him on the head. "Ow!" he cried out. "What was that for?"

"You're not supposed to help them!" Priya scolded.

"Now our competition just got harder," Sky sighed. "Let's go in small groups so we won't be spotted. That good?"

"Sounds good to me," Millie agreed. "Though would you mind if I stuck with Priya? I might need help with my aiming."

"Alright, then. Millie sticks with Priya. Everyone else goes alone. Now let's win again! What are we?"

"TEAM MASKWAK!" Sky, Priya, Millie, Sugar and Ezekiel cheered.

"Team what now?" Rodney wondered.

"Start your paintballs!" Chris announced over the loudspeakers. "Game on!"

"Alright!" Beth rallied. "Let's go bag some deer!"

"I am down with that," Leshawna agreed. The group noticed Owen splashing some yellow liquid onto himself. "What are you doing?" Helen asked him.

"Masking my scent so the deer don't smell me coming," Owen explained.

"Tell me that isn't-" Lucas thought.

"Pee? Yes. Yes, it is!"

"Ew!" Beth gagged.

"I've got some more if you need some."

"We're hunting other campers," Helen informed Owen. "You don't have to hide your scent."

"You mean I collected all this pee for nothing?" Owen thought. He tossed the jar away, making Lindsay, Beth, Helen and Lucas quickly run away. "Dude, you are one sick ticket," Leshawna commented.

"Where the hell did you drag me off to?" Julia demanded as she and Luna stood next to some trees. "We need to make a plan to take down those butt-knuckles and win!"

"On it," Luna giggled as she carved some markings into one of the trees. "Gonna grab us some FUN stuff to play with! Just gotta get a favor these guys owe me."

"What guys?"

"WHO'S CALLING ME?!" a voice suddenly shouted. The markings in the tree started to shift until a red portal appeared. Julia got a fearful look as he saw two dark eyes staring back at her. "ANSWER ME!" the voice shouted again, making the influencer flinch.

"Yay!" Luna squealed. "And about time, Fen-Ryu! What kept you? And show your face like a real man!" The portal cleared up, showing what looked like a humanoid tiger with various scars and a scratched-up tactical vest. "WHO ARE YOU TO TALK?!" he loudly whipped back. "AND YOU DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION, EITHER!"

"Do you have to shout?" Julia argued. "I like my ears to keep working!"

"SUCK IT UP, BUTTERCUP! AND LUNA, WHY CALL ME?! I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT!"

"I'm gonna need one of your little pets," Luna explained. "Doesn't have to be perfect quality, either. Plus, don't you wanna have some FUN on the island here? Come on!"

"Little pets?" Julia questioned. "I seriously doubt some poodle will be enough to throw Bowie off his game."

"POODLE?!" Fen-Ryu shouted. "HELL NO! AND WHY WOULD I RELEASE ONE OF MY TRAINED PETS AND COME HERE?!"

"Why not?" Luna countered. "Plus, I've heard of someone reading auras..."

"GOOD ANSWER! BUT THE MONSTER FIRST!"

"Monster?" Julia asked, worry slipping into her tone. "But you said-" She screamed as a black blur hopped out of the portal. The creature with black fur, a thin tail, horns curled around its ears, bright red eyes and razor-sharp teeth growled at the girls. "Thanks for the chupacabra, Fen-Ryu," Luna casually said while picking the snarling beast up. "Y'all can come out any time. Whatcha' waiting on, Julia? Let's go."

Confessional: Julia (Toxic Rats)

"Tiger men in trees and chupa-whatzits as pets? There aren't any, like, chemicals Chris sprayed around here, are they?"

End Confessional

In another area, Ella was walking along when some ladybugs flew by her. "Hello, there," she greeted. "Aw, you look so pretty. But you should probably fly away now while the challenge is going on. Unless you want blue spots with your black dots." She started to hum a little tune when someone fell from a bush. "Ouch," Shane groaned while holding his deer antlers. "I think that had thorns."

"Oh, hello, Mister Shane," Ella said. "May I help?"

"Thanks, Ella. I need a new hiding spot." Shane brushed himself off after returning to his feet. "Hmm," Ella thought, "Well, I could suggest hiding in a tree."

"Wait," Shane cut off. "We're on different teams."

"And? I don't see why that means I must leave you in danger." Before Shane could reply, a ladybug flew onto his nose. "Oh, how cute!" Ella giggled. "Maybe you'll have some good luck now!"

"Cool," a voice replied. The duo turned to see Zee sipping on a soda. "Oh, hey," he said. "I'm not interrupting anything, am I?"

"Uh..." Shane awkwardly thought, looking between Ella the deer and Zee the hunter. "We were just...looking for deer."

"Me, too! Any luck finding some?"

"I-" Ella spoke up. However, Shane quickly covered her mouth with his hand. "Not yet," he nervously fibbed. "Maybe they're towards the-"

"I GOT YAH!" Sugar suddenly shouted as she charged through the bushes. She started firing away at the trio. "TAKE COVER!" Zee cried out. The trio quickly ducked into another bush. "Everybody alright?" Shane asked.

"I think I may have been hit," Ella informed him as she held up a lime-green arm.

"What?" Shane looked up from the bush. "Sugar, you're not supposed to hit Ella," he told her. "She's on-" However, he quickly got a painful dose of paintballs to the face. "RAHHH!" Sugar shouted as she kept firing. Soon, she heard a little CLICK. "Oh, crud," she grumbled. "I'm out of ammo."

"Are you alright, Shane?" Ella asked as she and Zee looked up.

"In hindsight," Shane moaned, "That was a stupid move." Over in another area, Beth and Lindsay were tiredly looking around. "Oh, man," Beth groaned. "We're back to where we started and we haven't seen one deer." The duo noticed Heather coughing as she sat on her stump. "What took you so long?" she demanded.

"Were we supposed to come find you?" Beth thought.

"Hello! Alliance, anyone?"

"Me!" Lindsay exclaimed. "Can I be in one?"

"You already are, Lindsay. That's the point. Now, go find me some berries. I'm starving." Lindsay happily ran off. "Shouldn't we be, you know, hunting?" Beth pointed out.

"She is hunting," Heather countered, "For me. But actually, berries won't be enough. Go get me some chips."

"In the forest?"

"In the dining hall. Now." Beth trudged off. "And not barbecue," Heather added.

Confessional: Beth (Screaming Gophers)

"Okay, Heather can be so bossy, and in nature, hunters would never go find food for the deer. Heather won't hear this, right?"

"Let's see..." Scott muttered as he carefully stepped around some twigs. "Gotta find those two..." He noticed Max setting up some bells on a string. "What are you even doing?"

"Wouldn't you want to know," Max taunted.

"Uh, yeah, I would. Come on; spill it."

"Fine. If you must know, I have created a sound booby trap for those inferior opponents. If they should happen to pass by here..." Max started to mimic walking. "'Oh, look at me,'" he mocked. "'I'm so much better than Max.' Well, these stringed bells shall snag you up and hoist you into the air!" He gave an evil laugh. "That's...not a bad plan," Scott commented before a sly thought entered his head. "Too bad Julia's planning something even more evil."

"Impossible!" Max protested. "I am the only true EVIL on this island!"

"I don't know. What she has sounded pretty evil. And you know what would be truly evil? Sabotaging her efforts."

"Oh, yes! Then that poohead Julia will know better than to challenge ME!" Max quickly rushed off, though not before tripping over the strings and getting snagged up. "Sucker," Scott snickered under his breath.

Confessional: Scott (Toxic Rats)

"I'm no idiot. If I go up to Julia and Luna, who knows what they'll do? Sending that midget in instead will have him get the blunt end while I stay safe."

End Confessional

"The hunter is a finely-tuned machine," Owen narrated as he looked around, "His senses heightened by the thrill of the chase." He sniffed the air and spotted DJ eating some grass. "Suddenly, our hunter spots a magnificent buck in a clearing." Owen ducked down into a bush. "If he's to succeed, the hunter must demonstrate patience and control." Owen let out a fart, catching DJ's attention.

"How much longer are we gonna keep walking?" Julia moaned. "And when are you gonna drop that...thing?"

"Now!" Luna exclaimed. She dropped the beast, which growled as it quickly ran off. "Be free, beast!" she giggled.

"That's your plan?" Max scoffed, taking the girls by surprise. "Letting some mutt run around? Hardly an awful task."

"Beat it, butt-knuckle," Julia demanded. "I won't let you ruin my chance at winning this challenge and getting closer to the million bucks."

"What? That's your endgame? Some monetary prize?"

"Well, duh! That's why we came to this stupid show. What can be more important than money and fame?"

"Oh, I don't know...perhaps ruling the world as its supreme overlord?!" Julia and Luna just blinked in response. "Yeah, I'll pass," Julia decided.

"Bah!" Max scoffed. "I will not allow such a weak individual stand in my way of conquest! I challenge you to an EVIL-OFF!"

"Oooh..." Luna gushed. "Wait, what's an 'evil-off'?"

"Don't play coy. A feat of the best. A duel of monumental forces. Winner takes all. But you might as well forfeit now against MY evil power!" Max let out an evil laugh. A second later, he was frozen in place as a statue while Julia and Luna laughed. "I have to thank you," Julia told the frozen Max. "That has to be the most exciting thing I've done on this island in a long, long time."

"Can we cut off something like an arm or his head?" Luna offered. "He did say winner takes all, after all."

"Ew! No! I don't want blood on my clothes. Chris might mistake it for paint. Let's just get going."

"Aw..." Luna skipped away from the Max statue. "But no worries," she continued to Julia. "I already thought of, like, twenty other plans for us to do! Um, I think I'll go with this one." She pulled out two sticks and muttered something under her breath. "What, are you gonna poke everyone you see?" Julia scoffed.

"No," Luna explained. "These magic sticks will change anyone into an uncontrollable animal. Just go all ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!"

"Yeah... This won't backfire at all."

"Oh, you're right. We gotta test it! And I know just the guinea pig..." Julia widened her eyes a little when she saw Luna pointing one of the sticks directly at her. "You wouldn't dare," Julia warned her. "I'll make sure the Rats kick you off next if you-" Luna suddenly turned around as a bright blast quickly came out of the stick. A second later, the two girls heard Scott's screams. "What the hell was that?" Julia asked. A second later, a large pig with a tuft of ginger hair wobbled in front of her. "Is that...Scott?"

"No, silly," Luna giggled. "It's BACON!" Pig-Scott squealed before running off into the woods. "No more pestering from him," Luna said while she passed a stick to Julia. "Now, ready for some FUN?"

Back towards the main lodge, Beth was hiding underneath a table when she saw Chef, now in a swimsuit, walk past. She let out a breath then started to get out from under the table, but she bumped her head. She quickly covered her mouth as Chef glanced around, though he continued on his way. Beth rushed inside the main lodge.

"I need to use the best Metal Gear skills I can here," Sam whispered as he glanced around. "It's time to become Solid Snake Samuel." He adjusted his glasses, then he quickly did a roll behind a rock. He slid like a slug across the grass to reach a tree, then jumped into a bush before looking around. He jumped again, but this time, he crashed into someone. "Ouch!" Priya and Millie cried out.

"Hey, watch where you're going!" Priya angrily scolded after everyone returned to their feet.

"Oh, sorry, girls," Sam sheepishly apologized as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I guess I got a bit carried away."

"Whatever," Millie shrugged as she dusted off her pants. "At least we're not deer. No luck yet."

"Me, neither. Maybe we can play some video games to kill some time. I'm sure the deer have been hit already and this is starting to get boring."

"Oh, just get one session of Priya's training. Boredom won't be a problem."

"Heh, like a real-life platformer? Hey, maybe we can team up to catch the Gophers or Frogs."

"What?" Priya protested. "No way! We're not teaming with a Toxic Rat!"

"Hey," Sam argued, feeling offended, "I may get a bit annoyed when I lose a game, but don't compare me with a child who can't build something in Minecraft."

"Uh, Sam," Millie corrected, "She meant the teams."

"Oh. That makes more sense." The trio then heard a noise. "ATTACK!" Priya shouted before firing a barrage of paintballs towards...a squirrel who was simply trying to grab some nuts. Luckily, no paintballs hit the furry creature. "Oh, it was just a squirrel," the prodigy breathed out with both relief and disappointment. She turned to see that Sam and Millie hadn't moved. "Why didn't you guys shoot?"

"I told you already," Millie replied, "I'm not exactly good with paintball guns. Last time I played paintball, I ended up pelted while my classmates used me as a shield."

"Besides," Sam pointed out, "We don't have that much ammo. We shouldn't just fire away at anything that moves. You burned up half your bullets that way, and we're on hardcore difficulty, no refills."

"That's...actually some smart advice. Maybe we should team up, Priya."

"Fine," Priya reluctantly gave in. "But I'm keeping my eye on you."

"Fair enough," Sam shrugged.

Meanwhile, Ethan was walking ahead while Melody, Destiny and Paul followed behind. "No signs of any hunters," Ethan noted. "Let us hope it stays that way."

"Good thing it's just paintballs and not, like, silver daggers," Destiny joked. "I think that's how it goes."

"Silver daggers?" Paul thought. "Way above my pay grade."

"Miss Destiny, what in heaven's name are you going on about now?" Ethan asked.

"Why are you boys acting so clueless?" Destiny countered. "It's like you completely forgot about the other night."

"That was just a bad nightmare. Nothing to fret over."

"Just a- Are you out of your damn mind?!"

"Don't answer," Paul whispered to Ethan. "You'll only excite her more."

"Perhaps we should keep moving," Melody advised as she stepped in between the boys. "We do not wish to attract unwelcome company here."

"Good idea, Miss Melody," Ethan replied. He then turned to Destiny. "And please do keep your ramblings down a bit." He, Paul and Melody walked ahead, though Destiny just groaned in frustration.

"No sign of any deer yet," Harold noted as he, Bridgette, Geoff and Anthony walked around. "Maybe we should've split up like Sam did."

"Hang on, matey," Anthony assured him. "I've got me a little trick to make finding the deer easier." He gave a little whistle and a parrot flew to him. "Have ye spotted our target, Pride?" he asked the bird. Pride simply held out a foot. "Oh, a treat for info, huh? I've picked up a piece of bread."

"Double or nothing," the parrot squawked. "Double or nothing."

"Double? Oh, fine." Anthony pulled out two pieces of bread from his pocket. "Times like these I honestly consider changing your name to Greed," he grumbled. Pride picked up the bread pieces. "Frog deer on the port bow!" he squawked. "Looks like a tree! Looks like a tree!"

"Looks like a tree?" Anthony thought.

"I bet it's Jasmine," Harold inferred. "Disguising herself as a tree makes sense for her height."

"Let's go score a point, then," Bridgette said. She, Harold and Anthony ran off in one direction while Geoff ran off in another. "Geoff, 'port' means 'left'," Anthony corrected.

"Oh, yeah," Geoff realized as he changed directions.

DJ was still eating grass when a bird landed on one of his antlers. "The hunter moves in," Owen quietly narrated from the bushes, "Aware of every proton in his environment." He suddenly screamed out as he tossed away a snake. "Oh, crap!" he cried out. DJ noticed him and hopped away like a real deer. "Oh, it's on, DJ!" Owen declared. "Your butt's a hamburger and I'm one hot barbecue!"

Mike was looking around as he ran ahead, but he soon collided with Zoey. "Sorry, I-" the duo spoke at the same time. "No, you should-"

"Um, you first," Zoey decided. "I insist."

"Okay," Mike nervously began. "Well, I, um, about what happened in the horror challenge-" Zoey flinched a bit with the memory of that night still fresh in her mind. "It's...it's no big thing," she sadly sighed.

"No, but it is," Mike argued. "I was just... The thing is..."

"Yes?" Mike was about to say something when his ears caught a slight rustle. "Get down!" he warned before pushing Zoey to the ground. He let out a cry as he got hit in the arm before falling to the ground. "Mike," Zoey gasped. "What's going-?" She noticed that Mike's arm had a yellow gash on it. "That's not a paintball. Are you-?"

"Zoey, run for it," Mike warned as he clutched his arm.

"But-"

"DO IT!" With no other option and a bit intimidated, Zoey started to run away. "Crud," Julia muttered from the bushes. "I only got one. Oh, well. Plenty more people to get." She darted off. Mike, meanwhile, got a shocked look as the yellow gash started to spread across his arm and a second later, his eyes glowed yellow.

Back in the main lodge, Beth was running out with a bag of chips in her hand when she heard Chef returning. She quickly ducked underneath a table just as Chef walked past. She slowly crept over to the door when a slight CREAK caught Chef's attention. Beth bolted outside before he could chase her.

Confessional: Beth (Screaming Gophers)

"So I'm running for my life from this psycho when all of a sudden it hits me: I'm doing this for Heather?! I don't even like her!"

End Confessional

After catching her breath, Beth smiled before she started eating some of the chips. Meanwhile, Courtney was walking around when she bumped into...a goat? "What?" she thought. "A goat in northern Ontario?"

"Hey, hey," the goat replied. "Easy on the tush."

"Austin? What do you think you're doing dressed up like a goat?"

"Hiding from the hunters, duh! Since they're looking for deer, they won't think of shooting a goat. Yep, a pretty clever trick from me." Courtney simply rolled her eyes in response. "It's a good idea!" Austin protested as he adjusted his costume. "Now if you'll excuse me." He started to baa as he walked off on all fours. "Idiots," Courtney muttered. "My team is chock full of them."

DJ was still running from Owen. "You're my burger now, DJ!" Owen declared. He fired a few paintballs but missed. Owen then jumped on a rock but landed on his groin.

"Still no sign of any hunters," Paul noted as he walked with Melody while Ethan and Destiny walked ahead. "That's good."

"I'm not so sure," Melody thought, unaware of two different-colored eyes staring at her from the shadows. "I feel like someone's hunting us. Like some sort of...sinister force."

"Chillax, Mel," Destiny assured her. "We'll be fine."

"And we shall protect you if the need arises," Ethan added.

"I don't know," Paul spoke up. "I'm getting the feeling someone's watching us." He noticed a shimmer in the shadows. "MOVE!" he shouted before pulling Melody away just before a blast whizzed by them.

"What was that?" Ethan asked. "That didn't look like a paintball."

"Hold still, you little pests!" Luna shouted as she wielded her stick. "You'll look much better as beetles!"

"I'm not much of a sixties band girl," Destiny replied. She ducked at another blast. "Hurry!" Paul warned as he and Melody rushed off, with Ethan dragging Destiny with him.

"Baa..." Austin called out as he walked. "Baa..." He noticed a slight growling noise. "Uh, baa?" The chupacabra suddenly lunged at Austin, making him scream. "Any sign of some deer?" Helen asked Lucas. The duo heard Austin's screams. "Sounds like a deer in trouble," Lucas noted. "Let's go!" They ran ahead until they saw Austin panicking. "Help!" he cried out. He climbed a tree and clutched onto a branch. "Why the hell are you in a goat costume?" Lucas wondered. "And what are you fussing over?"

"Uh, Lucas?" Helen gulped as she looked behind her. "What's that?" Lucas got a frightened look as the chupacabra growled at them. "Haz espacio para Helen y para mi en ese arbol!" he screamed out. The duo rushed to the tree, dropping their paintball guns along the way. "So...what now?" Helen thought.

Beth was walking with the bag of chips in her hand. "Psst!" a voice called out.

"Whoever you are," Beth blandly said, "Go ahead. Shoot me. You can't make today any suckier."

"You're a hunter," Cody explained after hopping out of a bush. "I'm a deer. Slight food chain issue with me shooting you. How goes it?"

"I'm so done with this game!"

"What happened? Did you bag any deer?"

"No, but I did risk my life to steal a bag of chips."

"What took you so long?" Heather demanded from the stump.

"Here," Beth replied while holding up the bag of chips. "I hope you know what I had to go through to get those." Heather simply swiped the bag away. "There's, like, eleven chips left!" She sniffed the bag. "And they're barbecue! Go exchange them for dill pickle." Beth looked down at the chips Heather tossed to the ground and started to reach for them... "No," Beth decided.

"What did you just say?" Heather questioned with a glare.

"I'm just gonna..." Cody awkwardly put in, "Yeah." He grabbed the bag of chips before running off. "Take it back," Heather instructed.

"No!" Beth declared after taking a breath.

"Take. It. Back!"

"No! I'm tired of being your slave! Now if you'll excuse me, I have a challenge to complete." Heather watched in shock as Beth walked off before the former got hit in the arm with an orange paintball. "Ouch!" Heather shouted. "Whoever you are, this is so not cool!" Another green paintball knocked her off the stump. "Good shot, Millie," Sam complimented.

"Well, she was a sitting target," Millie replied. "Priya, any other Gophers and Frogs?"

"I can see Lucas and Helen up a tree," Priya noted as she glanced ahead from a tree branch. "Why are they up a tree?" Back at the tree, the chupacabra was staring at the trio of Lucas, Helen and Austin. "Any ideas on how to get rid of that monster?" Austin asked.

"Hello?" Phoebe called out as she struggled to undo the rope around her. "Is someone there? I need a little help, please."

"Get the hell out of here! There's a monster running loose!" Austin stumbled off the branch but got his pants caught on another branch, stopping his fall. "Ow..." he moaned. "I'm getting wool where it shouldn't be getting to."

"That junk usually happens to me," Lucas noted. He noticed Phoebe getting closer to the tree, too preoccupied with the rope to notice the chupacabra. "Run!" Lucas warned her. "Shoo! Scat!"

"Huh?" Phoebe thought as she saw the trio in the tree. "Why are you three in a tree?" She noticed the chupacabra staring at her. "PUPPY!" she gushed. "Hello there. I'm Phoebe. Don't you look all cute and lovable? Yes, you do."

"Puppy?" Helen whispered to Lucas. "What puppy has horns?" However, Phoebe managed to pry the rope and paintball gun off of her and toss it away. "Here, puppy," she said. "Here, boy." The chupacabra slowly approached her before she wrapped it up in a hug. "Good puppy," she whispered as she stroked its fur. "Sweet puppy." Lucas and Helen simply looked at each other with confusion. Unknown to the group, a hand reached out for Phoebe's paintball gun and pulled it towards them. "Time for this deer to fight back," the person smugly decided.

"Come on, deer," Rodney muttered as he walked around. "Let me get just one point, please." He soon bumped into Nikki. "Oh, hi."

"Hey, buddy," Nikki replied. "How goes the hunt?"

"Nothing yet."

"Yeah, same. But our luck will pick up." The duo saw a figure at the top of the steep cliff. "Oh, there's a deer!" Rodney gasped. "Hey, maybe we can both get a point." He and Nikki started to crawl towards the figure but stopped when they had a closer look. "It's Helga," Rodney realized with a whisper. "Uh...I'm not so sure about this now. After all, she's your teammate and my former teammate..."

"She'll understand that it's part of the game," Nikki assured him. "I understand it, too. We won't be hurt." Rodney gulped with nervousness before aiming his paintball gun. At the same time, DJ was still fleeing from Owen as he fired paintball after paintball. "The hunter's...courage...and desire will not...stop!" Owen panted as he ran.

"Someone's coming," Nikki noted. "We can't just sit here!" She tried to fire behind her, but DJ ducked and moved to the side. "Hold still..." she grumbled. She inched back but bumped into Rodney, which made his paintball gun discharge. Hi paintball hit Helga in the back and she screamed as she fell off the cliff. "Oh, boy," Rodney gulped. "Do you think she'll be mad?"

"I think I see her climbing back up," Nikki noticed. "But, uh, maybe we should find the deer that was coming up here." The duo started to walk off when they tripped on a rock and fell into a bush. "I'm kinda stuck," Rodney muffled.

"Ugh," Nikki groaned. "I think I felt a thorn. Great. How else can this day get crappier?" Just then, Helga reached the top of the cliff. She noticed Owen panting right nearby. "You're mine now, deer," he declared. He aimed his paintball gun and pulled the trigger, but nothing came out. "Huh?" he thought. Helga soon got a look of fury. "Um, the hunter knows that his prey will...stay there for a moment," Owen nervously narrated as Helga got to her feet and stormed towards him, "Paralyzed in, uh, fear and respect. The deer cannot best the hunter." Owen got a fearful look as Helga towered over him. "Come on now," he begged. "Let's talk about this."

"Chubby Boy shot me off cliff!" Helga seethed. "And deer antlers are not just for show." She then cracked her knuckles. A second later, Owen was screaming as he fell down the cliff and landed in the water with a SPLASH! Helga simply dusted her hands off before walking away. "Whoa," Nikki breathed out from the bush. "Rodster, did you see that?" Rodney could only babble in response.

Confessional: Rodney (Confused Bears)

"Helga got super mad and even tossed Owen off the cliff because of the paintball I shot! I didn't want things to be like that." He sighed.

"Let's see..." Jasmine muttered as she crept around the woods and looked at her surroundings. "No hunters...no hunters...Shawn as tree bark..." She did a double take as her eyes went to the tree Shawn was hiding on. "Hey, Shawn," Jasmine greeted as she walked over to him. "Guess we both have the same idea in mind."

"We did?" Shawn thought. "Huh. Did you get your camo skills from cake decorating, too?"

"No. So, since nobody's around to hunt us, maybe we could get to know each other a little more?"

"Well, um-"

"Tree boy and tree girl!" Pride the parrot cawed as he flew around Jasmine's head.

"Is that a parrot?" Jasmine wondered. "What the hell is it doing here?"

"They're over here!" Anthony shouted off-screen. "Let's hurry!"

"The bird's a spy! We gotta do something, Shawn. Here's the plan. We-" However, Jasmine noticed that Shawn had vanished. "Shawn?" she called out. "Shawn?!" She was knocked over by a barrage of paintballs. "We got her, crew!" Anthony cheered while Pride flew over to him. "Nice going to you, too, my feathered friend. No hard feelings, Jasmine. It's just part of the game." Jasmine could only moan in response. Later, she walked off with a downed look on her face. "Jasmine?" Samey gasped as she hopped out of her hiding place. "What happened to you?"

"Got a Rat ambush," Jasmine muttered. "Would you believe a parrot found me out?"

"I ain't surprised you got shot at first," Sol shrugged as he joined the group. "The girl's basically a walking bullseye."

"Sol," Samey scolded, unaware that something watched her from the bushes.

"What? She's as tall as the Empire State Building. Kinda hard to hide that."

"The guy does make a good point," Jasmine sighed. "But..."

"But?" Samey repeated.

"Um, never mind. I don't wanna burden you with my problems." Jasmine froze for a second. "Stay quiet," she advised in a hush tone.

"Why?" Samey thought. "I don't see any-" She let out a scream as a large wolf lunged at her, but Jasmine quickly grabbed it and tossed it away. "Wh-wh-what was that?" Samey stammered.

"Some large dog Chris probably sent out to sick us," Jasmine reasoned. "We better hurry before that thing comes back." She dragged Samey as she ran, with Sol soon following behind them.

Lindsay was picking berries off a bush when she saw Heather walk up to her. "Wait, I have blueberries, see?" Lindsay offered. Heather simply smacked the blueberries away. "Follow me," she ordered, with Lindsay quickly complying.

"Keep running," Ethan told Destiny, Paul and Melody. "We can't let Miss Luna or anyone else catch us!"

"But she's not following," Melody noted. "Wait. Why is Luna not following us? I have a bad feeling about this."

"Should we take a moment to rest?" Paul panted as he skid to a stop. "I just...feel tired."

"Yes. Let's rest and figure out our next step." Melody sat down on the grass while Paul simply fell over next to her. "There you two are," Ethan breathed out as he and Destiny returned to them. "We thought you were right behind us. Hey, is Sir Paul okay? It looks like he passed out."

"Didn't he go all GRR and stuff last time that happened?" Destiny wondered.

"Miss Destiny, please do not remind me of that dreadful nightmare."

"Uh, it did happen, Galahad. We were both there."

"In the dead of night while sleep-deprived. Is it wrong to have some skepticism?"

"Skeptical? Hmph. Well, at least Paulie will be okay in the daytime."

"I just realized why Luna didn't bother following us," Melody cut in with a concerned look. She pulled back one of Paul's sleeves, revealing a yellow gash on his arm that seemed to spread. "Paulie got hit!" Destiny gasped. "And is that stuff getting bigger? Hold still, buddy."

"Wait!" Melody warned as Destiny approached Paul. "Don't go near him!" However, her warning was in vain. Paul opened his now-yellow eyes and jumped onto Destiny. "Paulie, off of me!" she shouted. "Off!" She pushed him away. "Mel, what's going on?"

"Whatever Luna has been firing has some sort of magical energy stored in it," Melody explained. "History might end up repeating itself like that night."

"You, too, Miss Melody?" Ethan put in. "That was just a bad nightmare. It's not real."

"Not real?!" Destiny protested. "Forget fucking skepticism, Galahad! You're neck-deep in denial!" She uttered a choked gasp as she saw a black wolf where Paul was prior. "We have to give him some space," Melody advised before grabbing Destiny and Ethan's arms, "Now." She dragged the duo away. "This can't be happening," Ethan muttered to himself. "This can't be happening!"

"Get used to it, Galahad," Destiny whipped back. The trio collided with the trio of Jasmine, Samey and Sol. "Hey, watch it," Sol scolded.

"Just what has you lot in an uproar?" Ethan tiredly asked.

"There was this dog beast Chris put after us," Jasmine explained. "Hopefully we-" She stopped when she saw Wolf-Paul growling at the group. "Damn, that critter's a fast one."

"Uh-oh," Destiny thought. "He looks grumpset now. This way." She started to run off when a large wolf with brown fur stared her down. "There's two of them?!" Samey cried out in disbelief. The two wolves soon noticed each other and started to circle the group as the beasts eyed one another. "We better scram," Sol reasoned. "Things are gonna get ugly real fast." The two wolves lunged at each other, with the group quickly ducking out of the way. "Come on, boys," Jasmine told them as she carried Destiny and Samey on her shoulders. "Let's go." She ran off, with Sol following behind. Ethan started to head off when he heard the growls and whimpers. "We can't get in the middle of that without getting ourselves maimed," Melody informed him. "I don't like it, either. I'm sure they'll be fine in the end." She pulled the stunned Ethan away to safety.

Meanwhile, Cody was eating the chips from earlier. "Barbecue," he muffled between bites, "The king of chip flavors." As he ate, he failed to notice the crumb trail he was leaving behind.

"Things seem pretty peaceful right now," Carly noted as she and Rose walked along.

"No hunters around," Rose agreed.

"Good. I was getting nervous after the last run."

"Relax, Carly. I know my way around the woods."

"Hey, now that we are alone, I wanted to talk about what happened."

"What?"

"I mean the discussion between you and Tre-"

"Don't bring that up," Rose cut off. "That guy needs a chill pill. I was only trying to give him his stuff back, and he got all defensive and aggressive."

"But-" Carly protested.

"No-thing." Carly could only sigh in response. Rose then noticed her tiki doll slipping out of her pocket. "Whoa," she said as she caught it before it fell. "I almost lost it."

"What is that?" Carly asked.

"Oh, it's just a lucky thing I found. Looks cool, doesn't it?" The tiki doll slipped from Rose's hands and tumbled down a hill. "Oh, no," she moaned. She went after it. "Rose, wait!" Carly shouted as she followed her friend. Rose managed to catch her tiki doll with a little jump before sliding to the ground. "Yes," she whispered. She then noticed a pair of gray shoes and when she looked up, she noticed Jo. "Uh-oh," Rose gulped with worry.

"Rose, are you okay?" Carly asked as she helped the explorer to her feet.

"Wow," Jo snarked, "You two really need to have more care."

"Hey," Rose defended as she pocketed her tiki doll. "I'm an explorer. I know a thing or two about the woods."

"At least she's a deer," Carly assured her. "It would have been lucky if me or you were hunters."

"Yeah, no luck there," Jo put in with a devilish grin. "You're just a pair of deer..." She quickly pulled out the paintball gun she snatched earlier. "And my targets."

"What?!" Rose and Carly cried out in disbelief. A second later, the duo were doused with white paintballs.

Confessional: Carly (Screaming Gophers)

"How in the world did Jo, a deer, get a hold of a hunter's paintball gun? It sounds very suspicious. Could Jo be the saboteur, then? She definitely is going high up the prime suspects list."

End Confessional

Beth was aiming her paintball gun at Zoey. "Hey, Beth!" Heather called out. Zoey gasped as she overheard her before running off. "Oh, I totally had her!" Beth groaned.

"We've been talking about you," Heather began.

"We have?" Lindsay thought.

"Zip it, Lindsidiot. We've decided to give you one last chance. If you take it back, you can rejoin our alliance."

"Take back what?" Beth asked.

"The n word: no."

"I don't want to take it back."

"You are NOTHING without me!" Heather lashed back.

"Do you want to know why we keep losing challenges?" Beth countered.

"Because they're lame and stupid."

"No. Because you're so busy being mean that you don't even try. All you can think of is bossing us around!" Heather gasped in response before pulling off her deer nose and flinging it in Beth's face. "Oh, that's it!" Beth declared.

"Bring it, dweeb!" Heather challenged.

"We should be a safe distance away," Jasmine reasoned after she skid to a stop.

"You know we do have legs," Samey spoke up as she and Destiny were set down.

"Did you want to chance it, then?"

"Uh...no."

"What do we do now?" Ethan thought as he nervously paced back and forth.

"You need to calm down, first of all," Melody advised.

"How can I be calm after that?!"

"Ethan makes a good point," Samey agreed. "What if those things come back? What then?" She then noticed Lightning running up to them. "Just what has you riled up?" Sol asked him.

"Something crazy is going on here!" Lightning cried out. "Creepy Girl and I were trying to run from the hunters when this sha-weird light got blasted on her and...well...sha-see for yourself." He pulled out a small bird from his pocket. "That looks more like a chickadee than a girl," Jasmine pointed out.

"Lightning ain't making this up!" Lightning defended. "This is Creepy Girl right here!" He ducked at another blast, which hit Jasmine in the chest. A second later, she suddenly changed into a large kangaroo. "Okay, we believe you now," Samey decided. She dodged another blast. "Hold still, butt-knuckle!" Julia shouted as she got closer to the group.

"I should've known that you were doing this," Lightning groaned in frustration. "Prepare to get struck by Lightning!" He charged at Julia, but she used her stick to shoot another blast at him, turning him into a monkey. "Much better," Julia chuckled.

"How the hell are you even doing that?" Samey wondered.

"Why don't you find out for yourself?" However, the chickadee swiped the stick from Julia's hands. "Hey!" she shouted. "Give me that!" The chickadee dropped the stick near Ethan, Destiny and Melody. "I got it!" Destiny exclaimed as she caught it.

"It's MINE!" Julia growled. She pounced at Destiny and the duo got into a brawl. "Miss Destiny!" Ethan gasped.

"She can handle herself," Melody assured him. "We must away before we attract more unwanted company." She dragged Ethan away. A second later, a huge blast cut the brawl short. "Destiny?" Samey gulped. Once the dust settled, she and Sol saw a yellow-and-white snake and a pink-and-black rat. "Is that Julia and Destiny?" Samey thought. Snake-Julia gave a threatening hiss, but Rat-Destiny just squeaked back before biting the snake's tail. Monkey-Lightning joined the fight with him grabbing Snake-Julia and wrestling with her. "It's them," Sol said.

"Maybe we can change everyone back by breaking this stick," Samey guessed. She snapped the stick in half. "Did it work?" She looked to see that Jasmine was still a kangaroo. "Nice effort, cher," Sol told her, "But it's usually not a good idea to break magical objects."

"So how do we fix this?" Samey wondered. "You're the expert at this."

"Hmm...wait a minute." Sol murmured something before twirling his fingers in a pattern. Suddenly, a small green portal popped up from the sky and dropped Luna before closing. "Hey, I was busy with Mole Dave and-" She noticed Sol and Samey eyeing her. "Uh-oh," Luna realized. A second later, Sol grabbed her by the neck. "I OUGHT TO BOIL YOU FOR THIS!" he shouted.

"So it was Luna's magic that caused this whole mess?!" Samey complained.

"And she gave it to one of the evilest people on the island! What do you have to say for yourself, Luna?"

"What do I have to say?" Luna countered. "But you're the one making all the noise, dear brother. Bye!" She wiggled out of Sol's grasp and hopped away. "What did she mean by that?" Samey thought.

"Say hello to my little friend!" Sam declared as he, Priya and Millie aimed their paintball guns at the group. "I've always wanted to say that."

"Oh, that damn little-" Sol seethed. He was cut off as he, Samey and Kangaroo-Jasmine were pelted with paintballs.

"You can leave the hunter with less ammo than he thought he had," a soaked Owen breathed out as he walked in the woods. "You can throw him over a cliff. You can even leave him with a case of toe crabs, but you CANNOT BREAK HIS SPIRIT!" He heard a subtle crack. Keith and Brick were walking past. "Remind me again why you're stuck to my side," Keith grumbled.

"Because there's strength in numbers," Brick explained. "Animals use this tactic all the time and it works."

"Only if you're a zebra. Sticking together will only create a bigger target for us."

"Fresh meat," Owen whispered from the bushes.

"I am giving you one last chance," Heather warned as she and Beth eyed each other.

"Why?" Beth whipped back. "Because you know you can't win without your little alliance?" Lindsay looked between the duo. "I can make your life miserable here!" Heather threatened.

"You already do, Miss 'Come Put Lotion On My Nasty Alligator Skin'!" Beth countered. "What do I have to lose?!"

Meanwhile, Sky was flying from branch to branch looking for some deer. "Aha!" she quietly exclaimed when she saw Scarlett and Cameron crouched behind a rock. "Just stay still for a few seconds..." A sudden siren sound caught her off-balance for a second, but she hung onto the branch. However, this caught Cameron's attention. "Bear hunter!" he shouted. "Run away!" He and Scarlett ran out of Sky's sight. "Crap!" she cursed out. "I almost had them! Better find someone else." She moved to another branch, where she spotted Jo walking around. "Perfect." Sky aimed again but the siren from earlier sounded again, alerting Jo. She fired a paintball at Sky, making her duck into the tree. "Again?" Sky thought. "Hmm..." She then hopped down onto the ground. "I think I spotted another deer from the Frogs," she said aloud. She heard the siren again. "Gotcha!" Sky declared as she whipped around. However, she was only met by a cloud of hairspray, making her cough until she passed out. "Aw, yeah," Anne-Maria boasted after the air cleared. "I got it made!"

Confessional: Anne-Maria (Frogs of Death)

"My team ain't gonna win if they get shot at, and I'm not like Robin Hood with perfect aiming. So I figured if I made noise when other hunters come near them, they'll run off and not get shot. I even used this button thing to make the noise." She pressed a small button, which made the siren noise from earlier. "What? I ain't all luscious beauty and no brains, you hear?"

"Two hours of sneaking around in the woods and I haven't shot a damn thing," Leshawna thought while walking around. "What kind of messed up person actually does this for fun?"

"Fine," Heather decided, catching Leshawna's attention. "Be all alone, loser!"

"It's better than working for you," Beth whipped back. Leshawna squinted her eyes as she saw a hazy picture of a deer. She shrugged before firing a paintball, hitting Heather in the back of the head. "OW!" Heather cried out. "Who was that?!"

"Oh, I knew I should've gone to the optometrist before I came out here," Leshawna said as she walked over to a glaring Heather. "Sorry about that."

"You..." Heather shot a glance at Beth. "Give me your gun!" she commanded. "Give it!" Beth just shot Heather in the leg. "Ow!" Heather cried out as she fell over. "Charlie horse!"

"Girl, you crazy," Leshawna remarked.

"It just looked like a lot of fun when you did it," Beth replied. The duo shared a laugh. "STOP LAUGHING!" Heather shouted.

Over by the river, Brick was scooping up water with one of his boots. "Want some?" he offered to Keith.

"No," Keith told him, "I'm not drinking dirty water from a smelly boot."

"This is the shot of the day," Owen quietly narrated from a tree above the duo. "With one paintball, hunter and prey's mutual destinies will be fulfilled." Before he could fire, he let out a fart. "Beans," Keith noted as he smelled the air. He looked up to the tree. "Owen!" Owen let out another fart. "Ha!" Keith laughed. "Nice try, but you ain't catching me!" He and Brick ran off. Another of Owen's farts blew away part of the tree's leaves, then he fell to the ground. In another area, Cody was eating some chips.

Confessional: Cody (Screaming Gophers)

"I thought it was a cinch to win. I almost made it all the way through without being hit by a single paintball."

End Confessional

Cody finished the chips and noticed something on the ground. "Mmm, berries," he thought. He reached down to get them when he heard a growl. He turned around to see a bear with chip crumbs around its mouth. "Hey, big fella," Cody nervously greeted. "Want some berries?" The bear gave a roar, ripping Cody's clothes off.

Confessional: Bear

It shook the chip crumbs into its mouth. It then licked its lips and reached inside the bag, only to find a hole in the bag.

Heather returned to her feet and tossed away her antlers. "Give me that!" she barked out as she snatched Lindsay's paintball gun. She shot a few paintballs at Beth and Leshawna. "Oh, now it is so on!" Beth declared. Lindsay ducked while Beth, Leshawna and Heather shot at each other.

In another area, Valerie was busy painting her toenails. "Why are you just sitting around?" Bryan inquired as he approached her. "You're basically asking to be shot at."

"I'm not going to get pointlessly sweaty," Valerie argued as she stood up. "Now if you'll excuse me, my little mole, I'm heading back. This stupid and barbaric challenge must be almost over by now." She started to walk off. "Excuse me for saying," Bryan told her, "But you're going the wrong way."

"Excuse me?" Valerie challenged. "I'm no idiot. My natural sense of direction tells me camp is this way."

"Your natural sense of direction must be on the fritz today, because camp is that-a-way." Valerie rolled her eyes before walking ahead. Bryan started to walk ahead, as well. A sudden THUD made them stop in place as the duo's antlers were stuck together. "Very funny," Valerie complained, "Now let me go!"

"This isn't my idea of fun, either," Bryan countered as the duo tried in vain to pull themselves free. "I guess we're stuck for a while."

"Great."

Confessional: Bryan (Screaming Gophers)

"While I would've loved to haven those cruddy antlers off, I run the risk of someone spotting us without them before blabbing to Chris and disqualifying us. Not a good image to send to my team. Plus...I kinda liked it."

End Confessional

"Now what?!" Valerie complained.

"Um...you wanna make out?" Bryan awkwardly asked, making Valerie go wide-eyed in surprise.

"Here comes Pride," Anthony noted as the parrot landed on his arm. "Any news now?"

"Deer fight dead ahead!" Pride cawed. The Rat group overheard the Gophers' fight. "I'm outta here," Pride cawed as he flew off. Bridgette, Geoff, Harold and Anthony quietly crept closer and got a stunned look when they saw the fight. They smirked before opening fire, dousing the group in blue paint. "This is really fun," Bridgette commented.

"Attention, human wildlife and hunters," Chris announced over the loudspeakers, catching everyone's attention. "Please report back to camp. It's time to show your hides and tally up the scores."

"Maybe when we get there," a paint-covered Samey reasoned, "Whatever Luna did will...wear off. What do you think?" Kangaroo-Jasmine just moaned in response. "You think it's safe to get down now?" Helen asked. The cloth holding Austin up ripped off, making him crash to the ground. "It's safe," he groaned.

Later, most of the campers were gathered back at camp, though some were a bit...roughed up. Cody was now in a full body cast and wheelchair. Paul and Mike were covered in scratches with the former having some ice to his head and the latter having a petrified expression as he looked to the ground. Nikki and Rodney were still pulling thorns out of their skin. Sky was having a coughing fit while Kangaroo-Jasmine was trying to keep Samey upright. "Tisk, tisk, tisk," Chris began. "Stealing from Chef...eating chips in the woods...using parrots to find deer...getting mauled by bears...do you know what I see here? I see a very undisciplined group. I see a disgraceful mess. I see a massive waste of paint product! And I have to say...that was AWESOME!"

"Awesome wasn't the word Lightning was sha-thinking of," Lightning grumbled as he joined the group. "Chris, any way you can disqualify Julia? She made the Lightning a MONKEY!"

"Um, why are Julia and Destiny dangling off your arms like earrings?" Bowie inquired as he saw Julia clinging onto Lightning by her teeth and Destiny holding onto Lightning's other arm.

"You don't wanna know," Samey moaned while Lightning shook the duo off.

"Is that a kangaroo?" Anne-Maria asked in disbelief.

"That's actually Jasmine turned into a kangaroo. Don't ask how."

"Really?" Julia teased. "What's the difference?" Kangaroo-Jasmine simply kicked the influencer away, making her crash into a tree. "Awesome, Jasmine!" Topher chuckled. "But honestly, nothing can beat what the Gophers did. Opening fire on their own team...wicked TV right there."

"Can we please just hear the results?" Ethan begged. "I feel like my head will just...BOOM. You know."

"There's still a few guys missing," Sam noted. "Where are they?" Millie gave him a nudge before pointing ahead. The campers then saw Bryan and Valerie walking back, their horns still stuck together. "Oh, this is too much," Echo giggled.

"How did this happen?" Paul asked with a slight smirk.

"Bryan, you sly dog, you," Owen chuckled.

"I can't help it if the girl can't keep her antlers off of me," Bryan said. Valerie's response was a swift kick to Bryan's groin. "A simple no would've worked," he squeaked out. Lacey managed to pull Bryan free. "A nerd like you?" Valerie scoffed. "Please. I have higher standards than that. Why don't you go waste that breath on that classless ruffian Destiny?"

"I've had enough lip from you!" Destiny angrily lashed back. "Now SHUT UP!" She gave Valerie a swift punch, making some of the others wince. "That's gonna leave a mark," Brick noted.

"My eye!" Valerie screeched as she felt her black eye. "Oh, you'll pay for that!" Greg and Anne-Maria struggled to hold Valerie and Destiny back. "Easy, tigers," Stan advised as he walked out of the medical tent. "The medical tent here is only equipped for one at a time, and Cody has priority right now."

"I'm grateful you and I got out roughly unscathed," Helen told Lucas. "Usually you have a bit of...what are you doing?"

"I'm thinking Amy would look real nice in orange," Lucas replied as he aimed his paintball gun at Samey. "Damn it. It's jammed."

"The challenge's over, you nitwit," Keith remarked. However, Lucas ignored him and was busy shaking the paintball gun. "I wouldn't shake that," Helen warned. "It might-" The paintball gun exploded, drenching the duo in orange paint and knocking them over. "How the hell did it explode?!" Helen shouted in frustration.

"You two just attract trouble, huh?" Keith taunted. "And why the hell is that guy dressed like a goat?"

"Cause I got me some smarts, that's why," Austin whipped back. "None of you got even close to me."

"Hello, everyone," Phoebe greeted off-screen. Austin turned and let out a girly scream at what he saw: the chupacabra walking towards them. "That thing's back!" Lucas cried out as he hopped into Helen's arms. "And it's...on a leash?!"

"Why does everyone look so surprised?" Phoebe asked as she and the chupacabra walked up to them.

"Where did you find that?" Dawn inquired with some concern.

"This poor puppy was all lost in the woods, so I'm taking care of him. His name is Barry."

"Barry?" Brick thought. "Of all the names you could've picked..."

"We are not having a dog in the cabin," Anne-Maria decided.

"They're fleabags," Valerie gagged.

"And it wouldn't be a good idea to have a dog around Helga," Nikki added.

"But..." Phoebe pleaded.

"Just make sure that...thing stays in your line of sight," Keith sternly told her.

"Yay! Thank you, coach." Phoebe snuggled Barry, who panted in response. "Well," Chris announced, "Since five members of the Gophers are dripping in paint..." Lindsay turned around, showing her back and hair had blue paint on it. "Make that six members...and some of them aren't even deer, while the Rats are relatively squeaky clean, I think we have our winner: the Toxic Rats!" The Rats started to cheer. "You're off to a hunting camp shindig," Chris continued. "Confused Bears, you were super close. If it wasn't for Ella getting hit, you would've tied with the Rats."

"By friendly fire, if I might add," Shane spoke up.

"Frogs, while quite a few of you got paint on you, at least you got a few hits, as well. You're safe."

"Too close," Samey breathed out before falling over.

"Gophers," Chris continued, "I'll see you at the campfire ceremony...again."

"I can't believe we were that close to winning," Millie commented to her teammates.

"Ella, how did you get hit by friendly fire?" Sky asked her.

"It was totally crazy, man," Zee spoke up. "There was lots of paint flying in the air, and Shane even took a hit for his girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?" Shane thought. "Zee, Ella isn't my-"

"WHAT?!" Sky cried out with absolute fury. "So my sister wasn't enough for you?! Now you're after my teammates?!"

"Sky, it's not like that. It was- And then- Sky, put down that paintball gun." Shane was knocked back by a green paintball. "Stand still, weasel!" Sky shouted while firing her paintball gun.

Confessional: Ella (Confused Bears)

"I don't understand why Sky's so angry with Shane. He's such a sweet person. So why is there such negative emotion between the two?"

Later that evening, Melody was inside the Bear cabin and twirling a black crystal in her hand. "Hey, Moonflower," Sol began as he came inside, "We need to talk."

"About...?" Melody asked as she pocketed the crystal.

"You know what I'm talking about. We have a werewolf problem on our hands. The dogs that chased us today are proof of that."

"I assume Luna's magic might've forced a transformation?"

"Yeah, most likely. And your friend Paul has no memory of it, correct?"

"That is correct. However, my main concern is Ethan's mental health right now. Him accepting that his friend is now a supernatural creature is very difficult for him to process. Luckily, Destiny is having an easier time with things. But have you informed anyone else of this?"

"No. I didn't wanna cause a panic. The same reason why no one's saying Phoebe's puppy is actually a chupacabra. Come to think of it, how did a creature that usually stays towards Central America and the southwest USA get all the way to Canada?" Sol suddenly saw Melody pass out. "Hey!" he told her. "Wake up!" Melody opened her eyes, but they were pitch-black like fresh ink. "You cannot hope to stop us," she said in a demonic tone. "The destined time is drawing near. And besides, there are already some of us that have been freed from our chains." Melody then went limp in Sol's arms. "Looks like we've got a deadline to beat," he muttered.

That night, the Screaming Gophers were at the campfire ceremony. Lacey, Sarah, Bryan, Rose, Carly, Trent, Gwen, Echo and Owen were in the back row while Cody, Helen, Lucas, Max, Lindsay, Beth, Leshawna and Heather were in the front row. "I mean, seriously," Heather complained, "Twice in a row? What is wrong with you people? I can't wait to see Beth get kicked off. I just wish I could vote off two people at once."

"I personally desire for a vote against those Rats," Max put in. "They shall PAY for making me a statue!"

"You can worry about them later," Lacey told him. "Right now, we gotta focus on taking Heather out."

"There are only sixteen marshmallows on this plate," Chris began. "When I call your name, come up and claim your marshmallow. The camper-"

"Who does not receive a marshmallow must immediately return to the Dock of Shame, catch the Boat of Losers and leave," Bryan quickly finished. "Can we please get this over with? I really need some sleep."

"But we haven't even gotten a chance to vote yet," Carly noted.

"Actually," Chris informed the Gophers, "Tonight's elimination requires no votes. Since Cody got mauled by a bear and is fully bandaged from head to toe, he has been deemed to injured to continue."

"Does that mean-" Helen realized.

"Yep. Cody's out of the game. Everyone else can get a marshmallow. Trent, Echo, Helen, Lindsay, Max, Lacey, Sarah, Owen, Rose, Gwen, Lucas, Carly, Bryan, Leshawna, Beth and Heather."

"You are all lucky, okay?" Heather bitterly informed her team as she stood up. "VERY lucky."

"Cody, the Dock of Shame awaits, bro." However, Cody was unable to move. "We should probably help him get there," Carly reasoned.

"I'll do it," Rose volunteered. She pushed Cody away. "Bye, Cody," Gwen sighed as most of the Gophers waved goodbye.

"Hope you have a quick recovery," Sarah hoped.

"See you, buddy," Leshawna said.

"Take care, dude," Owen added. A moment later, Cody was muffling something under his bandages. "Cody, I don't understand what you're saying," Rose sighed, "And I can't remove your bandages now. Sorry. But I do have some good news. I heard Beth finally stood up to Heather." Cody muffled something. "I'm really proud of her," Rose continued. "And I think she'll be okay. Hopefully the Gophers won't lose again. My lucky charm will make sure of that." She pulled out her tiki doll. "I found it in my canoe while visiting Boney Island," she explained to a now-worried Cody. "It's a great souvenir. Goodbye, Cody. Take care." She rolled Cody onto the Boat of Losers, unaware of his muffled cries.

Back at the cabins, Dawn was nervously pacing back and forth. "What's got your tail in a twist?" Scott asked as he stood by the doorway.

"Scott?" Dawn thought as she noticed the dirt farmer. "Oh, hello. What's with that electronic you're holding?"

"Uh, a buddy wanted a phone charger for some odd reason. But you didn't answer my question, you know. You hiding something?"

"Well...I fear we are in for some dire...evil to emerge."

"If you're talking about Julia, no worries. I have a feeling she'll be going soon, heh-heh-heh."

"I'm afraid that the evil will make Julia look as peaceful as orchids." Back in the forest, the portal Luna had used opened, and Fen-Ryu stepped foot on Camp Wawanakwa. He unleashed a roar before the scene went black.

Episode 30, people! Wow! So, first, the elimination. Yes, poor Cody got the short end of the stick. But at least his elimination makes more sense with a medical evacuation than a simple vote-off.

Beth finally broke away from Heather. What will happen with her now?

We also had a wide variety of interactions, such as Jasmine and Shawn, Bryan and Valerie, Phoebe and her new "puppy", Rose and Carly and many others.

Next episode will have...Chris? Hey, where did he go? Oh, well. Until next time, enjoy and have a good day.
