Uncle Elton – Colby, do you think you and Sam could come over sometime today? I have a TFIL video idea that I want to walk through with you guys.
Colby – What time? We're just editing today.
Uncle Elton – Kian and JC are going to be here around 6.
Colby – What?? I'll go talk to Sam. We'll be there.
"Sam!" Colby called, walking into his apartment. "Elton wants us to head over to his place in like 2 hours."
"What for?" Sam asked, hearing Colby climb his spiral staircase.
"He said he's got a video idea, but Kian and JC are going to be there too." Colby explained. "I have no clue what he has planned if he's bringing other youtubers into it."
"Ooo, he's been talking about doing that 'survive the wilderness' series." Sam reminded him. "Maybe he's trying to hammer out the details."
When the boys walked into Elton's house, they noticed a couple people they knew and a few people they didn't know.
"Hey, hey, hey!" JC called, walking up to the boys and partaking in the usual handshake/half hug. "We need to collab again, boys."
"Hell yeah, brother." Colby replied, walking past JC to find Elton.
"UNCLE ELTON!" Colby yelled, hearing a call back from the back yard. "What's going on?"
"Give me a hand bringing this shit to the garage and I'll tell you." Elton bribed him.
When the two of them made it to the garage, Colby saw Elton's whole plan charted out on one entire wall. "Holy shit." He said, dropping the boxes Elton had him carrying. "How long have you been planning this?"
"Well, I was supposed to do it a few months ago, but Kian and JC were doing their reality series and we didn't want to compete with each other." Elton explained. "So, I decided they could go first as long as they competed in mine."
"Dude, is this like survivor?" Colby asked, looking at all of the stuff Elton had laid out.
"Kind of. I want to have like 10 pairs of YouTubers see who can live in the wilderness the longest. The winning pair gets 10 thousand dollars for themselves and 10 thousand dollars donated to whatever charity they choose." Elton started explaining, pointing at some plans and illustrations on the left of the wall. "We'd start out with 10 and everyone would get to bring ONE Rubbermaid bin each full of whatever they wanted."
"Can't you cheat, then? What are we allowed to bring?" Colby asked, trying to think of what he would bring.
"It could be 100 usb batteries to charge your phone or it could be 50 Pop Tarts. It doesn't matter. Every individual person gets to bring one bin full of whatever they want." Elton explained. "I'll pair people up before they pack so they can talk about what to bring."
"So, Sam and I are a team? I assume Kian and JC are a team, too?" Colby asked.
"Not exactly." Elton replied, sounding a bit suspicious.
"Wait, who are the teams?" Colby looked over, hoping he was still paired with Sam.
"I want pairs of girls and boys." Elton said. "Kian and JC are bringing their girlfriends. I'll have Sam invite Kat."
"Who am I supposed to bring?" Colby sighed, glaring at Elton.
"Well, you know Y/n is out there with Kian and JC." Elton raised his eyebrows. "She wants to compete."
Colby's face immediately flushed pink. "I don't think she'd want me on her team." He said, ducking his head. "I kind of fucked up the last time we hung out."
