BFDI All Over: Flower in Bloom

The Final Hurdle

Flower was mentally preparing herself for this one... this was really it. After this, there was only one more elimination period, then she'd be a true finalist. The TLC would be officially behind her.

In order to avoid any more suspicion, the Freesmarters decided to actually stay in the remaining houses the Announcers gave them as the last challenge's prize. It felt a bit surreal, having a normal bed in a normal room after sleeping pretty much everywhere that wasn't that all season.

"Pff- jeez, what happened to Pin ?"

That was Pencil's voice. Flower walked out only to see...

Wow... talk about deja vu.

Pin just shot them a glare - the only thing she could really do to them now - as she laid against her side against the lake, both her arms and legs missing.

"Do I even... want to know how this happened?" Golf Ball asked, unsure if she should be either more concerned or amused.

"I do not want to talk about it." Pin glared, right before a small piece of paper landed near them. Leafy quickly picked it up.

"We are currently building an... Announcer Recovery Center . It will be done soon." She read aloud. "Signed, FlykydFly."

"Flykyd who ?" Golf Ball squinted. In her research of the Announcer, she had never heard of that name before. From what she could tell, it might be one of the higher-ups? Maybe a producer? She just hoped they wouldn't interfere too much with her plans.

"What do you mean you spent all of the budget already?!"

Meanwhile, the contestant-created speaker boxes were in some pretty hot water.

"Look, it's not our fault!" GBSB tried to reason. "Er- well, it's not my fault. I wasn't the one who decided it would be a good idea to let the idiot look after finances!"

"Hey, that gold statue is great and you know it!" Pen Speaker Box retorted.

"Hold on, what's that?" The Circular Flying Globe stopped them to look over the extra-fancy hot tub they got.

"Oh yeah! We, like, bought a hot tub !" Pencil Speaker Box explained.

"But... we're electronic ." The Triangle Speaker Box explained.

"Oh yeah... at least Pin Speaker Box learned that the hard way."

Everyone looked into the hot tub to see the Pin Speaker Box laying face-down at the very bottom.

"About those houses you sold, by the way..." The Octagonal Speaker Box added. "Most of those were rentals. We weren't actually allowed to sell those!"

The contestant Speaker Boxes all exchanged worried glances at that.

"Oh well... whatever, it's Cake at Stake time. We need to move, like, now !"

With that said, the Speaker Boxes all quickly ran away as fast as they could.

"...this isn't good for us, you all know that, right?" The Spike Ball Speaker Box pointed out. The one saving grace? She managed to nail the GBSB with one of their spike balls.
