Battling Duality!

EP2: Puzzled and Confused

"I can't believe this"

Pencil's mind went back to how her alliance lost again. In the first challenge. Again.

"I tried to do better but it still didn't work."

"It's time for BRAKE AT FLAKE!" She heard Four yell, followed by his signature screech. Someone must've tried to correct him.

Team BCFFs and the Alliance, get over here!" Four yelled afterwards.

Pencil sighed and got up begrudingly and headed to the elimination zone.

"I can't believe we're like, up for elimination already. One of those alliancers need to go!" Pepper said.

"Like, I totally agree. They're nothing but ripoffs of our like, friendship" Salt sneered.

"Ripoffs? Excuse me?" The two turned to see Match angrily marching up to them.

"Oh great, the copycat is like, here to ruin our like, fun" Salt grumbled.

"We weren't like, having fun though" Pepper said confused.

"Ssh" Salt put her hand to Pepper's mouth, effectively shutting her up.

"So how many votes did we get?" A weary Pencil asked.

"We got 6 votes. This reminds me of the good old times in BFDI" Announcer said feeling nostalgic.

"With no votes is Pencil so she gets a regular strawberry cake" Announcer said flinging a slice to her.

"What?! How is she like, safe over us?" Salt said angrily.

"Don't worry. We'll be like, safe next" Pepper reassured.

Match just glared at the 2. "At least Pence-Pence is safe" She sighed.

"With only 1 vote is Pepper so she's safe too" Mephone said passing a cake to her.

"That's like, good" Pepper said.

"I like, have to be safe over her" Both Match and Salt said.

"Well here are the results: Match has 2 votes and Salt has 3 votes" Four revealed.

Pencil let out a breath of relief.

"What? No!" Salt said angrily.

"Ha! Like, take that!" Match said smugly.

"You shouldn't be that happy Match. You're eliminated along with Salt" Announcer said.

"WHAT?!" The four girls shouted in shock.

"Every elimination will have a double elimination. The remaining 2 of each team will form a new team" Four explained. "Which means Pencil and Pepper will join up to form the "Split Friends". I recommend you do your best to not lose again."

"So Match is leaving?!" Pencil said before turning to Match.

"Salty Salt no!" Pepper cried before the two losers were sucked up by Four.

"They'll be doing a lot of math where they're going" Four said.

"That still creeps me out a lot" Mephone said.

"I can't believe I'm working with you" Pencil grumbled.

"I know we like, hate each other but at least let's try not to lose" Pepper said reluctantly.

"It's time for the second contest" Mephone announced. "It's a race to the finish. Your team will be given a puzzle piece." Mephone showed everyone a large puzzle piece.
