BFDI All Over: Flower in Bloom

Weakness of Three

As Flower and the other Cherries gathered around to watch the next elimination unfold, most already had bets on who was gonna get kicked out, mostly centered around Snowball since he had been 'last-one-safe' twice now.

"Hello Grapes, you know the rules. The one Grape who doesn't get cake goes home... I mean, the TLC, if you remember."

Each of the Squashy Grapes tensed up at that, now knowing the real stakes for losing in this competition.

"The cake was too expensive, so I got seven cupcakes but think, there are only seven."

The board lifted up again, revealing... thirteen votes, one less than last time.

" I want to cry now, I really do. "

That reaction only caused a lot of contestants to roll their eyes.

"Since no members here have win tokens, I'll start by listing the ones with-" Before Announcer could finish, someone piped in.

"I'll use my win token."

Everyone else turned to Snowball, who was proudly holding the green token in his hand. Wait, since when did he have that?

"Hey!" GB gasped at this, realizing why her own Win Token had suddenly gone missing. "Snowball, you complete jerk!"

"Oh, okay." The Announcer, however, didn't think anything of it, collecting the token despite Golf Ball's protests. "Now I'll list out the ones with zero votes."

There were only two this time, Leafy and Tennis Ball, each getting tossed a cupcake.

"Wow, this is really good." Leafy noted, taking a bite out of hers.

"You like it?" The Announcer asked. "I decided to follow Match's cupcake recipe from episode four."

Pencil huffed at that, folding her arms, but didn't say anything else. Match, meanwhile, let out a little sigh at that, doing her best to avoid eye contact with her former alliance member.

"Pin, Teardrop and Needy-"

The Announcer was sent back a few inches when Needle leapt across the podium to slap him for that.

"You are all safe with one vote a piece."

The three of them, including Needle when she sat back down, got their cupcakes. This meant the last ten votes would be spread across three contestants.

"Coiny, you're safe with two votes." Coiny caught this cupcake, "So it's down to Snowball and Ice Cube, the two cold contestants."

"What did I even-"

"Yeah, yeah, we know." Announcer cut him off. "Anyways, Icey got three votes...while Snowball got five. However, thanks to his win token, Snow Ball is safe at a close 2.5 votes"

SB grinned as he caught his own cupcake.

"What?" Ice Cube was more than shocked at this, as the metal plate would start sliding out.

"Well, Ice Cube. Anything you wish to say before you go to the TLC?"

Ice Cube glared at Snowball, who managed to stay safe with a win token he didn't even earn.

"I want rev-aaaaaaahhh!" She couldn't even finish her thought before she was launched into the air, quickly joining the others in the TLC.

So, that was that. Icey was the first female contestant eliminated, the Cherries had the lead again, and all of them made a mental note to pay very close attention to their win tokens.
