A Bit of Me

EP27 Pt1 Can We Pretend (Day 21) Wed June 26

SUMMARY: The girls enjoy a surprise poolside brunch, but not all is bubbles and sweetness! No boys allowed!

START NOTE: Most of the beach dialogue with the girls is S2 Canon. Some new dialogue has been added for the boys from both the UK and AU Love Island series. Inner thoughts are written; for example, Grace thinks, The girls have a chance for a fresh start today. What should I wear?

🤍 🤍 🤍

Narrator, Iain Stirling (Voiceover):

Previously, on Love Island...

The new girls had their pick of dates...

And in some cases, a little more!

Chelsea: Jo and Ibrahim were kissing!

Shannon: She... kissed him?

Coming up...

Everyone gets along swimmingly!

Elisa: How could you be such a gossip-sneezer?

Hope: Name-calling!

Shannon: 'Gossip sneezer' isn't even a real insult.

Kidding, of course. Without a dose of drama, it just wouldn't be...

Love Island!

Bedroom

It's very early in the morning. An unexpected sound wakes you. [gasp] Oh my goodness! I got a text!

Another phone buzzes. And so on. Chelsea bolted upright and chanted, "I got a text! I got a text!"

Shannon rolls her eyes. "Yes, we all got it."

"We all got it, don't shout," Lottie groans as she sits up. Noah stops snoring and gently stirs. He settles back down.

You squint at your phone in the dim light and read the text. 

'Girls, today you will enjoy sun, swimming

and sangria on your very own day out!

Please get ready to leave the Villa.

#ladieswhobrunch #noboysallowed'

You mumble under your breath... You have got to be kidding me...

[Collective gasps]

BH Shannon:

Totally unbelievable. I ask for some answers

and I get avocado toast instead.

Chelsea says cheerfully, "Well, I better go get ready!" as she jumps out of bed.

You lay there in silence, seeing what the other girls are going to do. Elijah stirs and groans into his pillow. "What's happening?"

"It's okay, Elijah, go back to sleep." Within moments, you hear a soft snore muffled in the pillow. "Cute. And obedient, too."

Marisol whispers loudly. "Come on, girls, let's dress quickly."

You lift the duvet, get out of bed normally, and stand up and stretch. Marisol, Chelsea, Shannon, and the other girls start getting out of bed and heading to the dressing room. Shannon sneaks past Jo to the dressing room with the others. She let out a sly smile, thinking, Snooze, you lose!
