Third person pov
***
The day after the ball challenge Aiden and Tom were talking when Gabby came up to them, they kept talking when Aiden came to the subject of Toms boyfriend, Gabby was immediately interested and asked why Tom never told her about him. She asked him questions such as "is he cute" or "is he nice" and stuff like that, and Tom immediately got up and said he should go get dinner and left.
Meanwhile Tess came up to Ellie to talk, she saw her looking in the bushes after something, so she asked her about it, Ellie just answered that she was looking at the sky, obviously Tess saw through her lie and git Ellie to admit that she's looking for the immunity totem Tess asked her if she thought there even was an immunity totem this season and Ellie just said that if there is she needs to find it.
"Do you feel in danger?" Tess asks and looks at Ellie.
"Get real, Tess!" Ellie yells annoyed "because of Miriam's lie, I have a big red target on my back!"
"A lie, huh?" Tess asks and crosses her arms
"What? You think I'm the one who's lying?" Ellie asks dumbfounded
"Ellie, I know you're lying" Tess says irritated "Gabby heard the yellow team discussing it"
"Gabby knows" Ellie asks looking scared
"Yeah, and she's rightfully very upset" Tess says and crosses her arms again.
"God dammit! I hate this game." Ellie answers angry.
"Have you even talked to Gabby recently?" Tess asks.
"I haven't" Ellie says and looks down "Look I have to focus on winning. She understands"
"Remember when you lost in season one?" Tess asks "who was the one person who was always beside you? Are you willing to lose your girlfriend for over this game?
"Ok, you're being so extra right now, Tess" Ellie says holding her hands up. "Of course I would choose her over a million dollars!"
"Would you choose her over.. three million?" Tess asks holding one hand up and one on her hip. And Ellie looks away.
Later:
"Yellow and cyan team! Getting your first look at the new magenta team!" Kristal says as the magenta team gets there. "Fiore voted out last elimination ceremony!"
"No! Not Fiore too!" Aiden exclaims.
"Right, I always forget you and James adopted her" Tom says.
"Of course you do" Aiden says.
"Damn" Alec mumbles
"I knew it" Riya says.
"Todays challenge will be quite... uplifting, as you'll see" Kristal says "hope you're not afraid of heights... anymore. Aiden..."
"Haha, for your information, I got over my fear of heights." Aiden says smugly.
"Guess we'll see, because today all of you will become astronauts" Kristal says even more smugly.
"Come again" Aiden exclaims suddenly scared (hmmm wonder why)
"Huh?" Tom says
"What the-" Tess says
"Let me show you what I mean" Kristal says cutting Tess off. "Bring her down Derek!"
Right after that a whole fucking space ship (that they somehow didn't see before) comes down and lands right behind them.
"How did you get the budget for this?" Alec asks flabbergasted.
"Trevor's paycheck!" Kristal says (now I wanna know how much Trevor's paycheck is if it was enough to buy a spaceship, that can't get into space but can still fly) "I'll explain the challenge once we're onboard. Now come on! follow me! One file please!"
"Well, I guess we're doing this." Aiden says hesitatingly.
"Don't worry, Aiden" Tom says putting his hand on Aidens shoulder. "We'll be fine"
