Clipboard stands in front of the contestants, a large musical staff displayed behind them.

Clipboard: "Welcome back to High School Objects! Last time, tensions ran high with the intense rescue challenge, resulting in Highlighter leaving the competition. Today, we have a team swap, a musical challenge, and a surprise double elimination. Let's see how our contestants navigate these twists!"

The contestants gather nervously, unsure of what's to come.

Clipboard: "Contestants, due to the recent events and to keep things interesting, we're having a team swap. Some of you will remain on your current teams, while others will switch. Team leaders, Pen and Notepad, will stay with their respective teams."

Clipboard reveals the new teams on a large board.

Clipboard: "Here are the new teams:

Team 1: Pen (Leader), Pencil, Ruler and Eraser
Team 2: Notepad (Leader), Sketchpad, Paint Palette and Calculator

The contestants react with a mix of surprise and determination.

Teams gather in the music room, surrounded by various musical instruments and sheet music.

Clipboard: "Today's challenge is all about music! Each team will compose and perform an original piece based on a theme given to you. You'll be judged on creativity, harmony, and presentation. Team leaders, please step forward to receive your themes."

Pen and Notepad approach Clipboard, receiving their themes in sealed envelopes.

Team 1 huddles together, discussing their approach.

Pen: "Let's focus on a theme of resilience and overcoming challenges. Pencil, can you work on lyrics?"

Pencil: "Got it. Ruler and Eraser, let's brainstorm melodies that match the message."

Meanwhile, Team 2 is deep in discussion.

Notepad: "Our theme is unity and diversity. Sketchpad, can you sketch visuals to accompany our performance?"

Sketchpad: "Sure thing. Paint Palette, let's blend different musical styles to reflect our theme."

Calculator nods, already crunching numbers related to musical beats and rhythms.

Teams are busy rehearsing their compositions.

Team 1 performs a heartfelt ballad about overcoming obstacles, with Pencil's lyrics resonating deeply.

Team 2 creates a dynamic piece blending various musical genres, with Sketchpad's visuals adding a unique touch.

Both teams refine their performances, focusing on harmony and expression.

The contestants stand nervously backstage, awaiting their turn to perform.

Clipboard: "Welcome to the performance challenge of High School Objects! First up, Team 1."

Team 1 takes the stage, delivering their emotional performance with passion and precision.

The audience reacts positively, applauding their heartfelt composition.

Clipboard: "And now, Team 2."

Team 2 steps forward, showcasing their diverse musical piece with Sketchpad's visuals enhancing the experience.

The audience is impressed by their creativity and unity.

The judges deliberate, considering both teams' performances.

Clipboard: "After careful consideration, the winning team of today's musical challenge is... Team 2!"

Team 2 cheers, celebrating their victory.

Clipboard: "As for Team 1, it's time for the surprise double elimination. Each team member will cast two votes for who they think should leave the competition."

The contestants exchange worried glances, knowing the stakes are high.

Each contestant privately casts their votes. Clipboard tallies the votes.

Pen: "Okay, so two people. I can't vote for my girlfriend so I'll vote Eraser and Ruler."

Pencil: "Eraser and Ruler."

Eraser: "I guess Myself and... Ruler?"

Ruler: "Pencil and Eraser."

Clipboard: "The contestants have voted. The first one safe at only 0 votes is Pen."

Pen: "Ni- Wait, that means-"

Clipboard: "The last safe is Pencil, at 1 vote. Eraser and Ruler have been eliminated at 3 votes and 2 votes respectively."

Pen: "Thank god I'm safe!"

Eraser and Ruler nod, accepting their fate with grace.

Eraser: "It's been an honor. Good luck to everyone."

Ruler: "Keep measuring up to the challenge."

They shake hands with their teammates before leaving.

The remaining contestants reflect on the day's events.

Paint Palette: "Today was intense, but we pulled through."

Calculator: "Team dynamics are shifting, but we have to stay focused."

Sketchpad and Notepad share a quiet moment, appreciating their continued partnership.
