An announcement woke me up. It was the phone telling us it was time to wake up.

I pulled my face and groaned. I was dreading today. I got up from my bed and looked out the window, near my bed.

The weather was grey and gloomy. As if the island itself was just as upset about today as I was.

I went downstairs to find two people arguing about... fruit? Ugh....

"I just think I deserve it more." Nickel said smugly.

"Yeah, you deserve jack shit!" Said Balloon, holding a bowl of fruit. Of course it was these two. All they've done is argue since I've meet them.

Nickel grabbed the bowl with his teeth. His words mumbled, "Give it!" Balloon gasped and quickly pulled the bowl away, throwing the other of balance.

"Boys! Boys!" Teakettle shouted, getting the boys attention. "There's more than enough fruit for everyone. But if you can't share," she snatched the bowl away from them, "then none of you can have any."

Balloon crossed his arms as the both of them pouted in annoyance. God, they fought like children.

I walked by and took an orange from the bowl.

"What was that about?" Yinyang questioned.

"Just childish behavior," TK answered, "nothing to worry about." She patted his head affectionately. He didn't really like it.

As I peeled and ate my orange, OJ began to speak.

"Okay, everyone here? Great!" He clapped his hands together, getting everyone's attention. He sure did take initiative.

"We need to find a way off this island."

"Didn't that phone guy say we weren't allowed to leave?" Bow asked.

"Who gives a shit what that psycho-bot says?" I said, maybe a little too aggressively.

"She's right though, I mean, we've seen what happens if you defy him." Fan looked at the scar on my forehead. I avoided his gaze.

"He never said we couldn't explore the island. That's all we're doing, 'exploring'" OJ said in air-quotes.

"Phuhuhuh~ It doesn't matter anyway. This is all just a game." Silver Spoon laughed.

"Just a game?" Testtube questioned.

"Yes. I'm not an idiot. You don't really believe we're actually supposed to kill each other?" He actually believed it was all a game. No one said anything against it though. We were all silently hoping he was right.

------------------

We decided to split off into three groups.

The first group was LifeRing, Teakettle, Nickel, and Balloon. They were sent to explore the hotel.

The second group was Fan, Testtube, Cabby, Goo, Bow, and Clover. They went to explore the forest areas of the island.

And Yinyang, OJ, Candle, and Silver Spoon were with me. We were sent to explore everywhere else.

Turns out there was alot less to explore than we initially thought. Behind the hotel was a cliff overlooking the ocean. We looked over the beach but found mostly nothing but seashells Yinyang and Candle began to collect. What we did find was a glimpse of another island off in the distance.

"We might be able to swim to it?" OJ thought.

Candle countered, "That's too far. If you attempted to swim it, you'd surely drown before you made it." She spoke calmly.
