"WHAT!?"
"I said there aren't teams anymore."
Just a few seconds ago Vintage had bluntly announces he was getting rid of the teams. "There aren't enough members on Cappy and Lighters team and I don't want to have to change the teams around again." Everyone muttered and whispered to each other. Cappy sighed "Phew..." Lighter glanced over at Cappy "What now...?" "Well I don't see anything changing. We'll still work together right?" Lighter paused before smiling at him "Of course...!"
"Oh and also. Cali should be somewhere around here... I uh... Don't know where he went..." Broom sighed "He shouldn't have come back. He'll get himself hurt." "Yeah." Milkshake chimed in "But I have a feeling he'll try to be more careful since... Ya know. He's half bl-" THUD "WHO PUT THAT TREE THERE!?" Calli went barrling out of the Bushes. 2 Scars over both his clouded over eyes. "HAH! GUESS WHOS BACK!" Broom whispered to Milkshake "Good thing we're not placing any bets on it huh?" Caligraphy Pen without a single regard for his poor eye-sight walked over beside Broom. Accidentally tripping over a few things along the way. He looked over at Broom "Miss me?" "Course' Just... God be careful. You'll get yourself hurt." Cali seemed offended "What!? Are you joking!? I'm still Caligraphy Pen! Hell, full eyesight, Half eyesight or no eyesight! I know what I'm doing." Broom sighed. "Alright..."
"You guys done?"
Caligraphy Pen seemed surprised at Vintages bluntness. He whispered to Broom "What's wrong with him?" "Cookie left after you got hurt. Vintages has been pretty upset about it." "Oh." Vintage snarled "I can hear you!" Cali just crossed his arms "Wow. You have one if you 5 senses. Good job." His voice plastered with sarcasm. He couldn't see Vintages angry expression. "Ugh... If you 2 are done chatting I'll announce today's challenge." Everyone went silent. "Good. For today's challenge we'll be staking blocks. The three who stacks the least amount of blocks in 1 hour will be up for elimination. The uh... Blocks are over there... Good luck." Vintage just sat down on a small chair and phased out. Caligraphy growled "Sheesh. He really doesn't care huh. Well... Whatever."
Cappy:
"FUCK!" Cappy wasn't sure what he was expected to do. He has no arms! And he's short. He picked a block up in his mouth and put it down. He picked another. But found himself too short to put the other one on top. He was about to give up and accept his fate when he felt something pick him up by the sides. A lot like Bottle did. "Need some help?" Oh! It was Lighter. He put the Block on top the other block "Thanks." "No problem! We're still in this together! Teams or not." Cappy found himself blushing as Lighter helped him pick up the blocks one by one.
Nest:
Nest wasn't very tall nor fast. So stacking blocks wasn't the easiest thing for her. But she was managing! Despite having only one wing she could use it to make herself go a little taller! When she was reminded of Milkshake. She was.... Probably having a hard time too. Huh? Without legs and all. Nest looked around. Only to see a tower of blocks higher than the cabins "What in the-!?" And at the top... Was Milkshake! Wait... WAS SHE FLYING "MILKSHAKE!?" Milkshake looked down and zoomed over to Nest. Her speed knocking the few blocks over "Hey Nest! Whoops. Lemme pick that up!" She picked up the blocks one by one and picked the tower back up. Nest was... Needless to say shocked. "H... How are you-" "Flying? Yeah I know! I mean, I need a way to get around without legs!" She chuckled "Oh! Do you need some help? I know it must be hard to stack blocks when your... Well..." "Short?" Milkshake looked up as Nest giggled "It's fine, I know I'm not exactly the tallest. And yes. Some help would be... Nice."
Cali:
Cali growled as his tower fell down for the hundredth time. He kicked the blocks I'm rage "GAH! THIS ID IMPOSSIBLE!" The tower kept knocking over since he couldn't see exactly where the blocks are. He suddenly saw some brown and tall reach irs hand out... Oh. It's Broom. "Need some help?" Cali growled "No. I can do it on my own." "Really...? Cause I heard you ye-" "I'm FINE." Cali snatched the block from Brooms hand. Broom stepped back. A look of frustration on his face "Sheesh fine!" He turned away "God, I just wanted to help." He watched as broom walked away. He felt guilty stabbing his heart. But he tried to ignore it. Instead picking the blocks back up. He felt awful for yelling at his friend. But he didn't need help! He didn't want everyone treating him different cause he was blind! He tossed a block at the ground. Knocking 2 small blocks over. He got an idea. It's been... 50 minutes. So he began stacking blocks.
8 minutes later.
The tower wasn't very high. But that was okay. He got a devious smirk as he grabbed 2 blocks and, while trying to be discreet tossed one of them at Milkshakes tower! It fell over onto Brooms tower... Oops. That certainly wasn't what he meant to do. And just as it fell Vintage called out "Times up!" Milkshake was just shocked. She had been helping Nest so much she forgot about her tower! "Wh- I wasn't near it!" She looked down at Broom "Sorry Broom... I-" "It's okay." His tone was cold and Harsh. Broom walked over to Caligraphy Pen. Leaving him shocked "I hope your proud of yourself. You pushed away the only one here who liked you." Was all he said before he walked away. Caligraphy Pen just griwled under her s breath "Sh.. Sheesh..."
Later that night...
Vintage sighed "Alright. From now on everyone gets to vote. Let's go ahead and check the votes."
Cappy voted for: Broom
Lighter voted for: Broom
Nest voted for: Broom
Broom voted for: Milkshake
Milkshake voted for: Broom
Caligraphy Pen voted for: Milkshake
"Broom is out."
Caligraphy Pens claws dug into the wooden log he sat on. Nonononono! This isn't what he wanted! But he couldn't speak. There was a lump in his throat. All he could do was watch as broom hugged his 2 past team members and wished them luck. He was expecting at least a goodbye. But instead he could feel Brooms gaze on him as Broom stood up and walked through the portal. Broom found himself unmoving. Even when is started to rain. He didn't feel like he deserved to sleep in his bed. He deserved to lie in the cold rain. When he heard sobbing. He slowly stood up. He managed to locate the sound of the noise. The cliffside. And there sat Vintage. His once loud sobs and quieted down into light sobs. "You okay?" Vintage flinched. Nearly falling off the cliff. He just snarled "What do YOU want?" "Ugh, I'm not just gonna let you sob to yourself in the rain." He sat down beside Vintage. Who was now silent. Hugging his knees and looking away. "You sad about Cookie?" "What about it." Cali wasn't the best at comforting. But he wanted to try. "You'll be able to see them soon ya know. It's only a matter of time." "Yeah but... Having Cookie there felt... Comfort- ugh. Why am I telling you this...?" "Well... When your upset sometimes you do things you... Wouldn't do normally." There was a pause. "Ugh. I don't... You don't know how I feel." Caligraphy Pen spoke without thinking "I actually... Might." Vintage glanced over. Caligraphy Pen felt... Weak. "What do you mean...?" God he regretted this. "Well..." He sighed "Wanting to be with someone with all your might but... Just... Not being able too..." ...Where was this coming from...? He thought about Broom. He... He had fallen in love with him hadn't he? But he couldn't have him... After all he was with Pillow not to mention he must disgust him now... Vintage was looking at Calligraphy pen. Cali just looked away. Guilt painted in his cloudy eyes. But he glanced back over "Why don't you just... Go see them?" "...I... Don't think the other contestants would be happy..." "...You know what room they're in right?" "Yeah...?" "You could get their attention than!" "...Yeah... Your right!" Vintage gave Cali a quick hug making him flinch "Thanks Caligraphy!" Before he ran off. Caligraphy Pen didn't do anything. He just sat there in the rain. Even after helping Vintage he still felt deep down he still didn't deserve to be... Happy. So he just slept outside in the cold.
