New AU idea! I like thinking about how seasons would change if the first boot was different, so here we are. Let's see how DCAS could've changed.
Episode 2: Gone Buck Wild (alternate ending)
"Are you calling me a liar?"
"A lie would have to be smart. You're delusional, I'm leaving."
This was the scene on the Magenta team after their crushing first challenge loss. During the immunity challenge, a little birdie- or a big shitstirrer known as Alec in this case- got in Jake's ear and convinced him that Tom and Aiden's high five was something deeper. One thing led to another, and James is angry that Jake thinks Aiden is cheating on him. The fight has just ended with James walking off in annoyance while Jake glares at him. Ally, Hunter, Ashley, and Fiore look on in a mix of shock and joy. Take one guess on which of the four the joy is from.
Confessional: James
"The casting team really dropped the ball when they invited Jake back. I mean, have you seen what he posts? Always crying about never finding true love. #Thirsty."
Conf end
Confessional: Fiore
"This is good! These assholes have been on my case from the moment we got here, especially Trashley, the boy who swapped his age maturity with me, and that sun fearing doofus! I didn't even do anything to him! Anyways, If James and Jake continue to hate each other, there may be a way I can survive another day."
Conf end
We see Jake still looking angry at where James once stood as Fiore walks up to him from the tent and taps his knee. "Hey Jake!" she says in a sweet sounding voice.
"Stop with that grating fake voice, Fiore. Just tell me what you want." Jake snaps.
"Just come with me." Fiore grunts out, annoyed at Jake being short with her. As the duo walk off, Ashley, Hunter, and Ally give curious looks.
"What is that kid doing?" Hunter glares in their direction.
"Trying to poison Jake's mind I bet." Ashley says with venom. "I can't stand her!"
"I know, right? Like who gave her permission to even be here?!" Hunter asks. Ally gives a confused look to the camera.
Confessional: Ally
"And I thought the way I talk about kids on stream can be harsh… I mean, why are they being so harsh on Fiore? I don't talk bad about kids, I'm a good person!" Ally tells the camera hastily. After a moment, she takes a deep breath. "I honestly don't mind Fiore, she hasn't done anything wrong this time, but no one has given her a chance. Unfortunately, that won't change. We need Fiore gone for challenge strength. We can't be down in numbers, I know it's bad from experience. I've had too many instances of people on my team rage quitting in Minecraft capture the flag!"
Conf end
We cut to Fiore and Jake. "James was needlessly hostile to you. People cheat on their annoying partners all the time, you had a right to question Aiden's loyalty."
"Alright, Ellie Jr. You don't need to word it like that." Jake glares
"Whatever, you get the point." Fiore rolls her eyes. "Like I said, the season two players are going to be a big problem for us if we don't strike now. We need ourselves and Ashley to vote for James. I'm willing to help you take care of the James problem."
Jake sighs. "I never thought I'd have to rely on you, but here I am. Let's do it."
Jake puts his hand out for a fist bump, which Fiore jumps up to reach in return. "Finally, you're being strategic!" Fiore says.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I rewatched season one before coming out here… you should know what I mean."
Confessional: Jake
"I got Fiore now to take out James! Just one more and there's a tie… but I'm not sure if Ashley will go along with it."
Conf end
We cut to James sitting on a rock with an angry expression. He isn't alone for long, as Hunter and Ally walk over to him. "We need to talk." Ally states as the couple sit beside James.
"Jake needs to go! You guys saw season 1, we can't let him ruin our games by being a gullible idiot again." James looks angry.
"James, I know you're mad, but we need to-" Ally says before getting cut off.
"We need that little kid gone! All she will do for us is drag us down in challenges, she couldn't even handle a goat! If she was cool, popular, and good at challenges, she would've helped us more. Like seriously, did her parents accidentally drop her off on the show thinking it was daycare?" Hunter interrupts her to ramble about his dislike of the eight year old.
"Hunter!" Ally snaps. "Why did you interrupt me? I could've explained that we needed Fiore gone myself, you don't need to always cut me off!"
Hunter has a remorseful look while Ally glares at him. "I- I'm sorry Ally… I just was eager, I guess."
James grimaces as the tension silently builds. He clears his throat. "Fiore hasn't done anything to harm the team-"
"Except for being bad at challenges." Hunter interrupts.
"Being bad at challenges isn't as bad as accusing people of cheating with no evidence. He had no right to say that about Aiden." James says with anger dripping from each word. "How would you guys feel if I accused one of you of cheating on the other with Tess for no reason?"
"Not good…" Hunter concedes.
"You'll have to get over it." Ally crosses her arms, getting a bit of shock out of James.
"Get over it? I-"
"I don't care." Ally says. "Maybe you should think strategically! Remember how upset people were online about how the strategy of our season wasn't as good as season 1? Let's prove them wrong and make a good move to take out the weakest link to guarantee the majority!"
"I'm not particularly concerned with the negative fans after my season." James says in a bored tone. "I still want Jake-"
"We are voting for Fiore, and I'm not changing my mind." Ally puts her foot down with a firm tone. "If you want to vote for Jake, do it. Fiore is talking to Jake as we speak, that's two votes against you off the bat. Jake and Ashley seem friendly, so if he convinces her to vote for you… who goes home?"
James takes a moment to contemplate before sighing. "I… guess you're right."
"Thank you!" Ally throws her hands up in the air.
"I'm going there."
"Huh?"
"The fans on Tiktok always talk about when you said that." James chuckles.
"In a good or bad way?" Ally worries.
"That doesn't matter. Are we going to try and flip Ashley?" Hunter asks. The smile from James answers the question.
Confessional: James
"Huh… I don't remember Ally being this aggressive back in our season."
Conf end
Confessional: Ally
"James was really going to vote for Jake? How did he win season 2, were the rest of us that bad strategically?"
Conf end
Confessional: Hunter
"Thankfully, Fiore is guaranteed to go. She can't win a tiebreaker to save her life."
Conf end
The camera cuts to Jake and Ashley near the tent. "Aw man!" Ashley groans while pulling on her hat. "You want to keep Fiore?"
"Ashley, we should vote for James. We can't let our emotions guide us!" Jake exclaims. Ashley looks at the camera with a baffled expression at what she just heard.
"Like you're doing now?"
"It's not emotional, we just need to vote him because-"
"It's emotional, Jake." Ashley cuts him off with a chuckle. "You can say it's because the season two folk are tight, but you never mentioned James as a target until your argument."
Jake looks shocked for a moment before gulping. "I… maybe you're right… but the way he dismissed my concerns is just so annoying! I'm just trying to help him, I don't want him to go through the same heartbreak as I did!" Jake replies, causing Ashley to sigh.
Confessional: Ashley
"Everything in my being wants to get rid of Fiore to avenge Will, Lill, and Nick- who I don't care about, but I'll throw him in there too. But I have a lot to fight for, especially with triple the prize money from last time. Maybe keeping Fiore for a vote or two ain't the worst choice… but the lovebirds and James have told me they want her gone, so I can easily send her home now. What to do, what to do…"
Conf end
Cut to Magenta Team
We see Kristal standing at the elimination ceremony with the Magenta Team members sitting near the campfire. "Tense afternoon on the Magenta Team, huh?" Kristal comments. James and Jake glare at each other to the surprise of no one. Due to no verbal response, Kristal continues. "Since you're all returning players, I hope I don't need to explain how this works. Get voting!"
We see a quick cut of the team voting before cutting back to the campfire ceremony.
"Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person with the most votes must leave the camp immediately! I'll read the votes." Kristal states, reaching into the urn as the camera cuts to everyone's individual reactions. There is a plethora of worried looks.
"1st vote… James."
James glares at Jake.
"2nd vote… James. That's two votes for James."
Fiore smiles.
"3rd vote… Fiore."
Fiore sighs.
"4th vote… Fiore. That's two votes for James, two votes for Fiore. Two votes left…"
Fiore gulps, hoping the next vote is for Jake.
"5th vote… Fiore. That's three votes Fiore, two votes James, one vote left…"
James looks a little bit calmer while Fiore looks to be panicking. Jake glares at James, while Ally and Hunter have a look of confidence. Ashley looks conflicted as Kristal takes out the last parchment in the urn.
"1st person voted out of Disventure Camp All Stars… is to be determined! The last vote is for James and we have a tie!" Kristal announces, holding up Ashley's vote. James and Ally give disappointed looks her way, though she decides to not meet their gaze.
"Imagine not voting for Fiore…" Hunter grumbles.
"Shut up!" Fiore sticks up her middle finger in Hunter's direction, getting a shocked look in response.
"What do we do now?" Ally asks.
"We're going to a tiebreaker!" Kristal announces. "We have a tiebreaker ready that Trevor and Derek set up back in season 1-"
"Aw…" James says with mock disappointment.
"What?" Kristal asks with a hint of annoyance after being interrupted.
"I was hoping to do a random unbiased game of rock paper scissors." James jokes.
Confessional: James
"I know my fanbase! They love the way I said that."
Conf end
"Well, we aren't doing that-"
"Please please please, let's do rock paper scissors!" Fiore stands up and begs Kristal.
"No one liked rock paper scissors." Kristal rolls her eyes. "People said it was the height of my unprofessionalism."
"That was far from the peak of it." Ashley comments. "Didn't you make someone burn their meds?"
"Anyways." Kristal ignores her. "We should head off-"
"No! Let's do rock paper scissors!" Fiore begs again.
Kristal rolls her eyes in annoyance. "Only if James wants to."
Fiore looks at James. "Do you think you can take me?" she asks with a smug look.
"Nice try, but I'm not going to fall for it." James chuckles. "You're a smart kid, you only want us to do this since it's the only way you can beat me."
Fiore growls. "That's not true! It's the only tiebreaker this show has done, we should stick to it!"
"I'm not changing my mind, sorry." James looks apologetic, seeming genuinely sorry for her as he didn't want to vote for the demon child to begin with.
Fiore looks upset before a grin breaks out. "Ohhhh, I get why you don't want to do this. This tiebreaker was used when you saved Yul and lied to Aiden for the hundredth time. Seriously, you lied to him constantly." Fiore begins laughing, causing James to look guilty. "Maybe doing the challenge will make you think about how Aiden could be dating someone who wouldn't lie to him… like Tom."
"He lied about talking to me…" Jake mumbles under his breath, though no one hears him.
Enough about Jake's saltiness, as the camera focuses on James, who looked unhappy with what Fiore said. "Watch what you say, kid." James glares.
"What? Are you upset because Aiden is probably getting it on with Tom now that you're out of the picture?" Fiore laughs, getting some shocked reactions from the vulgarity of the child. "He was just using you for some free trips and your sponsorship money, he's moving on to someone who will actually treat him better."
While Jake looks a little annoyed at this rant, James looks furious. "Okay, you know what? We can do rock paper scissors if it will shut you up!"
Fiore smiles while Ally facepalms.
Confessional: Ally
"You have got to be kidding me! James had a free slam dunk and decided to not go for it! Now we could lose him based on luck…" Ally pulls at her hair.
Conf end
Confessional: Jake
"See? Fiore believes me!"
Conf end
Confessional: James
"I don't like the way everyone is talking about my relationship, they don't know what's going on between us!"
Conf end
Confessional: Fiore
"My plan worked, I now have a saving grace. Please let the gods smile upon me so I can live to see another day!"
Conf end
We see Fiore and James holding their hands out. "This is about to be the most intense game of rock paper scissors ever! On the count of three, you will begin. Whoever loses is out of the game!" Kristal announces. James and Fiore hold their hands out. "1… 2… 3!"
"Rock paper scissors!" James and Fiore say in unison before both holding out rock.
"Go again."
"Rock paper scissors!" they say again before both holding out rock for the second time.
"Again."
"Rock paper scissors!" both hold out paper.
"Rock paper scissors!" both hold out scissors.
"Can someone just win already? This is stressing me out." Ashley chatters her teeth as the war continues.
"I never thought I'd be so invested in this." Hunter comments.
"Rock paper scissors."
…
"Scissors cuts paper! James survives and is safe. Fiore, you are the first contestant eliminated from Disventure Camp All Stars!" Kristal announces. Fiore screams in anger.
"Fuck all of you! I didn't deserve this!" Fiore says in annoyance, clearly unhappy that her luck from season one has not carried over.
"Any final words before you go?"
"Your dad neglects you because he wanted an abortion, but your mom wanted to keep you for a welfare check. Jake, you're the reason my parents hate gay people. Hunter, your mom was depressed because deep down she knew she was going to have a child as braindead as you in the future. Ashley, the animals on your farm are lucky it burned down, because being dead is a better fate than living near you. Ally and James, I-" Fiore stops talking. "You're fine."
Fiore walks off, leaving the team in shock at the insults- Ashley in particular. Jake looks nervous as Fiore leaves, while James smirks in his direction, clearly happy about the victory.
Confessional: James
"The boytoy thought he could get rid of me that easily?" James begins to laugh at the mere thought. "I won for a reason, you know. He may have survived tonight, but his fate was sealed the minute he brought up Aiden."
Conf end
Confessional: Jake
"I… may have made a mistake." Jake frowns.
Conf end
Confessional: Hunter
"What a shock, Fiore can't even win rock paper scissors! Good thing she's out."
Conf end
And that's it for now. Obviously, this was a shorter episode due to it just being the post challenge of episode 2, but everything after this is longer.
Fiore- Sadly since this rewrite started at the end of episode 2, Fiore doesn't get much to do since she's just here for the end of an episode. I tried to give her good moments to compensate however, like how she baited James into doing a luck tiebreaker which shows her wit could've helped her if she just got lucky. I squeezed every ounce of Hunter vs Fiore here too lol.
Remaining:
Magenta: Ashley, Jake, Ally, Hunter, James
Cyan: Ellie, Gabby, Tom, Lake, Tess, Aiden
Yellow: Miriam, Grett, Alec, Riya, Connor, Yul
Boot Order:
18th- Fiore- (Magenta)- 3-3, lost tiebreaker to James
Opinions on this fic would be appreciated, but see ya next chapter!
