Episode 14: Shattered beyond repair/Palm trees

Vintage groaned "Its been forever! I'm going to find them!" As he journyed through the woods he smelt something good. He followed the scent to nests cabin. He claled out "Cookie! Where are you! Cookie was inside. They sat up "Vinnie! Alright. Thats it! I REALLY have to go! Thank you and Bucket so much but... Goodbye!" Nest said nothing as they walked out.

Vintage, Cookie, Milkshake and CB Walked back to the boat. "Okay! Everyone onboard!" CB didn't move. "Cherry Blossom? Come on!" CB Took a deep breath "I want to stay here." Everyone turned around and gasped "What!?" "That village... It... It reminds me of home...! Before... HIM." CB Didn't gesture to Lighter, But he still looked away in shame. Milkshake hovered over "But... You have a chance to win the challenges! Don't you want to?" "I'd rather stay here. This place... It makes me-" They were cut off by someone calling out "Wait!" Everyone turned to the woods to see Nest and Bucket running after them. Nest huffed "Oh! You must be the Vintage Cookie told me so much about!" A few people glanced at a Cookie with a face so red it could put a tomato to shame. "I was wondering if me and my husband could come with you...?" Vintage smiled "I don't see a reason why not! We're a little behind on contestants!" Milkshake turned to them "Hey! Since you guys are leaving tell CB They shouldn't stay!" Nest turned to CB and sighed "Listen, This world is different from your own. And may not be the most welcoming... But it can also be amazing. A community of people working together learning to love and live. I may have not had this but I have a good feeling for you." Nest handed CB Their bag "Here. Tell them I gave you my old house. This bag has a warning flare and lighter inside. if you ever want to leave just say so. I was going to use it to leave but I don't need it. Good luck and be safe. Okay?" CB Paused. "Thank you..." "Of course." CB Started to walk away as the boat took off with Nest and Bucket onboard. CB turned around before entering the bushes and waved. Happy tears in her eyes as they smiled. Lighter slightly waved. Tears streaming down their face. As the island got out of few the silent tears only got bigger. Cappy walked up to them "Lighter...? You okay...?" Lighter turned to them "I'm not sure... I... I might need some time alone..."

later that night:
Vintage sighed "Its that time again. Team Lightning. Lets go ahead and get right to the point okay?"

MIlkshake voted for: Flower

Flower turned their head "Huh...!?" Broom was in shock "I... I didn't think anyone else would vote for you...! I didn't want my vote to do much...!" Vintage interupted "Its a tie! Guess i'll... Flip a coin?" Flower called out "I call tails!" Milkshake beamed "Than i'll do heads!" Vintage flipped the coin in his hand and showed it to everyone. "Heads! Flower is eliminated!" Raz gasped "What...!? No!" Flower sighed "Its fine Raz! Really! Good l-" "If your leaving I'm going too!" "What!? No way!" "I'm not goinf through this al-" "I don't mean to be rude but we have some more of this episode to go. So...? Whos gonna leave?" Raz grabbed Flowers hand "We're in this together. Right?" Flower paused before sighing "Are you sure...?" "Of course I am" Flower smiled "Fine than... Lets go." Hand-in-hand the two entered the Portal.

Vintage stood before everyone. "Alright! It is time to make a big announcment! Nest and Bucket will be joining Team Thunder! And we have someone who left rejoining! Please welcome Dorito!" Caligraphy Pen smiled "Dorito!" Dorito emerged from the bushes and smiled "Cali!" Vintage smiled as the two embraced. "We may still be a little low but hey! Guess everything works out in the end... Right?"

Cookie yelled at BL "For the last time NO! We aren't gonna hurt them" "Have you forgotten who is in control?" "What good have you done me!?" "Remember, While yes, I'll help you. I can also cause pain." "I don't care how much pain you cause me! I won't help!" BL Walked over to their eggs tank. Cookie went silent "Dont. You. Dare." "Listen to me, The only reason Chip is still alive is because of you. They were one of the ones who voted for me so be thankful. Now, Lets go over the plan to get rid of that bastard Cali again. Shall we?" Cookie sighed "Fine..."Spork was in the waiting room of the hospital. The image of HP standing face down. Their entire glass face shattered by a rock they landed in was burned into his memory. The blood pouring out of the hole where their face once was. The screams of their friends blurred together as they held HP in their arms. Screaming for them to not leave them. They snapped back to reality when they heard a voice "Mr.Spork?" They looked up and saw a nurse. "Yes... That's me..." "Hi, I just need to ask you a few questions. Your here from Ms.Hypno-" "Mx." "Excuse me?" "Their Non-binary." "Ah... Alright. So you are here for Hypnosis Pendant correct?" "Yes. I am." "How are you related to them?" "They're my closet friend." "Do you know if they have any family?" Spork paused "They have a mother but she was abusive. They don't like seeing her. Besides that's they have some non-biological siblings but I don't know they're names." This questioning continued when suddenly they heard someone yell out "CODE BLUE!" The doctor stood up and ran out the door. Spork felt his heart spike as he watched the doctor run out of the room. He didn't move for a solid 30 Minutes before the doctor walked back into the room "Mr.Spork? Sir?" "Yes...?" "I am so sorry to tell you this, But Hypnosis Pendant passed away." Sporks world stopped. He didn't move or respond. The nurse spoke again "Spork, sir I am so sorry for your loss." "The... They can't be d... After everything th... They..." Tears started rolling down Sporks face "Oh my god... Th... I... Hypno..."
