Episode 8: Babysitting Blues 👶

Ever since the team member switch, everything's right with the world. Scarlett hates Max, and now he's on the other team. Now, he just needs to leave, and everything will be beautiful.

Jasmine and I just finished foraging for food and we went back up to the treehouse.

"Scarlett's all right. A little weird, but harmless. Fruit?" Jasmine asked handed an apple to Sky.

"Thanks," Sky said before sighing.

"Something wrong, girl?" I asked.

"No, it's just... I got used to having breakfast with Dave every morning. We're just friends, but I'm still gonna miss him--"

Jasmine interrupted, "No. No, no! You can't have feelings for the enemy. I used to have a thing for, but--"

"Shawn?"

"Yes?"

"Okay."

I continued "But Jasmine ended it. The only person you can count on is yourself. And me and Jasmine, while we're on the same team, but no one else. Deal?"

"You're right. And don't worry. I'm a team player. You got a deal!" Sky said.

Chris's airhorn went off before his voice started coming over the intercom, "Attention my soon to be victims! Your fate awaits at the grand clearing. Last one there eats a rotten egg!"

--------

We all took off, and shortly after Topher caught up with us. "Last one there eats a rotten egg!" he said, and we all gave him weird looks. "See? Sounds better with a more youthful inflection. Agree or strongly agree," he added before he ran into a tree, and we continued past him to the clearing.

"You should watch where you're going, man!" I called out to him

Of course, Topher was last. It took him forever to arrive. "And Topher arrives last, so he gets to eat the rotten egg!" Chris announced.

"Aw, man, for real?!"

"Lucky for you it's already in Sugar's stomach."

"Smell what ya missed, sucker!" she exclaimed, before burping a gas cloud at him. Topher ducked and it was about to go into Jasmine's face, but she blew it back, and it went in Dave's face instead... and he fainted.

"Dave!" Sky tried to help him but Jasmine stops him.

"Don't! He's the enemy and he'll turn on you the first chance he gets!"

"Listen up campers. Today's challenge is called Hush or Die! The teams have to race through three separate and unique danger zones. The three zones have one thing in common though: the noisier you are, the greater the danger becomes! Area 1 is called The Lion's Lunch. You gotta sneak through a field of sleeping lions. Wake one up and you're lunch," he explained with a laugh.

"But they're sleeping so..." Shawn said.

"Oh, and there are rattlesnakes too," Chris added before one on the screen hissed quietly.

"Uh-oh. That's bad," Shawn said.

"Um, a rattlesnakes poison is kinda... Deadly." Jasmine said.

"The venom in our snakes have been diluted. So, you'll only feel like you're going to die," Chris said.

"Well, that's a big difference," I rolled my eyes.

"If you make it out of that zone alive, maybe you'll die in area two: The Pasta Blaster! Make a noise in zone two and blindfolded Chef will blast ya with pasta."
