Lightning: Hey, hey Donut!

Donut: Oh, hey Lightning. What brings you here?

Lightning: I was just wondering, how have you been?

Donut: Wow, I didn't think anyone would actually ask me something like that, hm. Well, I guess I've been fine. I miss my old team, but you guys are nice.

Lightning: Why do you miss your old team? Weren't you guys on bad ties?

Donut: Yeah, exactly! Since we aren't on the best ties, I was never able to sort things out with them.

Lightning: I respect that you still care for your team, even if they aren't the nicest to you sometimes. It takes a lot of effort to put that much care into your teammates!

*Bottle walks by Lightning and Donut* Bottle: Hey, Lightning! Hey, Donut!

Lightning: Hey, Bottle!

Donut: Oh, hey Bottle! (At least I'm still on good ties with her.)

Announcer: Hello, contestants. Are you guys ready for cake at stake?

Basketball: But we weren't even the team up for elimination.

Remote: You're thinking of team Grapes. We're team Kiwi.

Announcer: Oh, thanks. I'm still getting the hang of this whole "new team" thing, but it's nice to know that some of my contestants are still in the loop.

Basketball: Yeah...

*Announcer walks up to Team Grapes* Announcer: Hello, Grapes. Are you guys ready for the elimination?

Clock: Oh hey, you made it on time this time.

Puffball: I don't really care. I just hope I don't get eliminated.

Announcer: I'll take that as a yes! Follow me to the cake at stake area.

*The 8 Grapes follow the Announcer to the new, renovated Cake at Stake area*

Announcer: Alright, guys. Do you like the new cake at stake area?

Gaty: I mean, the seats are comfy, but...

Leafy: It's a nice addition!

Announcer: Thanks. I borrowed it from my manhole back at the mall.

*TV hears from the background* TV: You mean the manhole we stole your TV from?

Announcer: Yes, THAT manhole. Now can you stop interrupting me, and let me finish?

TV: Fine.

Announcer: As I was saying, we got 26 votes! That's a new record! The prize this time is a loaf of bread, to express my pure gratitude!

Barf Bag: Wow, that's more than I thought!

Lollipop: Anything seems big to your puny brain.

Barf Bag: Ah, be quiet already.

Announcer: Anyways, the first one safe is Barf Bag, with only one voter wanting her gone.

Barf Bag: Ha! Look at that, Lollipoop! *Barf Bag gets her loaf of bread*

Lollipop: Whatever.

Announcer: Don't you worry Lollipop, because you're safe second with 1 vote!

Lollipop: Ha. Look at that. *Lollipop gets her loaf of bread*

Barf Bag: Still one more vote than I have.

Leafy: Okay, we get it. But who's safe next?

Announcer: That would be Puffball, at three votes.

Puffball: Just three measly votes? Less than I thought. *Puffball quickly eats up the loaf of bread she gets*

Announcer: Next, there's three more people with three votes each. Those people getting three votes being Leafy, Saw, and Taco.

Leafy: Oh, yay!

Saw: This will manage.

Taco: Nice, but this means that Gaty is in the final two! And she's, my friend! That's not good...

Clock: But I'm in the bottom two, too! Don't you care for me?

Taco: *Taco grimaces* Not really.

Announcer: That makes the final two Clock and Gaty.

Gaty: Oh gosh, I'm scared!

Clock: I guess my time might be up after all...

Announcer: The last one safe is... *Announcer raises a loaf of bread up in the air*

...

Announcer: Clock. He got 5 votes. *Announcer chucks the loaf of bread at Clock*

Clock: Ow. But thanks, I guess.

Gaty: I'm eliminated! Already?

Taco: This sucks...

Lollipop: Gaty, you were a valuable team member, always trying to help whenever you can. You will be missed.

Gaty: Thanks guys. And Saw! Whatever you do, don't- *Gaty disappears*

Saw: Huh?? What???

Clock: Don't do what...?

Saw: I don't know??? Announcer, is there any way you can bring Gaty ba-

Announcer: No. She is gone.

Saw: O-oh... Alright.

Clock: Whatever. I have places to be. Bye. *Clock leaves the elimination area, without taking his loaf of bread*

Puffball: More for me! *Puffball gobbles up the loaf* But, I should probably get going too.

Taco: Yeah, same.

*Everyone on Team Grapes leaves except Saw, who continues to ponder what Gaty meant in her ominous last message*

Saw: What could that have meant? What does she mean??? *sigh* Maybe I shouldn't worry about this...

Announcer: Maybe you should.

Saw: You don't help.

*Meanwhile, with Team Tangerines* Marker: Hey, Eraser!

Eraser: Oh, hey Marker. What's up?

Marker: Want to play toss the dirt with me?

Eraser: I mean, I guess? You haven't asked in a while to play this game.

Marker: Hehe, I forgot.

*Eraser and Marker toss dirt all over the ground, accidentally burying Cloudy's collection*

Pen: What are you two rapscallions up to?

Marker: We were just playing toss the dirt.

Pen: Well, you two made a giant mess!

Eraser: So? Clean it up if you're so worried about it.

Pen: Yeah, I guess that's fair.

*Cloudy flies up to Pen, Eraser, and Marker* Cloudy: Have you guys seen my collection anywhere? I can't find it.

Marker: I didn't see it; I was just tossing dirt.

Eraser: Yeah, same.

Cloudy: Ah, whatever. Not a big deal. *Cloudy flies off*

Eraser: That was weird.

*Meanwhile, near the main challenge area* Announcer: Are you guys ready for the challenge?

Woody: That's a hard question.

Announcer: Take your time, then.

...

Woody: Okay, now I'm ready to start the challenge.

Announcer: Splendid.

*Announcer teleports everyone to the challenge area*

Gelatin: Woah, where are we?

*Teardrop shrugs*

Bomby: SO, what IS the next challenge?!

Announcer: I was getting to that. The 25th challenge is a building contest. You have to build the largest tower possible in 10 minutes. However, the twist is that one person on every team is blindfolded. And only that blindfolded person can build, with advice from other teammates. Make sense?

Needle: Kinda?

Basketball: I think I get it.

Announcer: In that case, go!

*Team Tangerines POV* Coiny: So, I guess I'm the one building this thing, huh? *Coiny puts on the blindfold*

Pin: What do we do?

Blocky: Isn't it obvious? We just give him directions.

Pin: Well, yeah. But is that ALL we do?

Eraser: I mean, if it's boring to you, you're free to leave.

Pin: I mean, I'll help him, I'm just a little confused.

Pen: Hey, Coiny! There's a stack of blocks right next to you!

Coiny: *muffled* Thanks!

Pen: See, it's as easy as that.

Tennis Ball: Guys, we need to consider that we don't just need to build a tower, we need to build a big one. We don't wanna lose, right?

Blocky: TB, TB. When a bunch of people are running randomly trying to build a tower with blindfolds on, do you really think there's that much strategy involved?

Tennis Ball: Not really, but...

*Team Apples POV* Announcer: Do you guys want your prize?

Woody: Sure!

Rocky: Mhm!

Announcer: Alright. The prize you get is... more blocks! *Announcer drops 10 more blocks on Team Apples field, then leaves*

Black Hole: I'm delighted...

Tree: Talk about it.

Balloony: Wait, am I the blindfolded one?

Cloudy: I think so!

*Balloony sets up the blindfold, then gets quick to work on the tower*

Cloudy: To ensure we have a nice and quick victory like last time, we need to give everyone roles! I will talk to Balloony, and guide him!

Black Hole: Is Balloony even going to hear you with that thick accent? I think I am more suited for this task, personally.

Cloudy: Are you insulting my accent? Rude.

Black Hole: Whatever. We can both do it. Anyways...

Cloudy: Oh yeah, Tree, Foldy, and Stapy! You guys make sure Balloony doesn't lose any blocks or get hurt!

Foldy: Got it!

Stapy: Yeah!

Woody: What about us?

Rocky: Hmph!

Tree: I mean, you guys can just sit around and chill out. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Woody: Fine by me.

Rocky: Mhm!

*Team Kiwi POV* TV: Okay, you guys can sit out this one. Me and Robot Flower got this.

Golf Ball: Sit out...?

Donut: It's a team challenge, TV! Don't think you can hog this challenge to you and your robot friends.

Robot Flower: Remote's literally the one blindfolded... this doesn't take a genius to figure out.

Basketball: I wouldn't mind taking a break for once!

Bottle: Same here!

Donut: Whatever...

Remote: *Remote grabs a cube* Do I just... place this on top of another cube?

TV: I would think so.

Remote: Alright. Thanks for the instructions.

Robot Flower: No problem!

Lightning: See, they definitely have this covered.

*Team Grapes POV* Clock: Alright guys, who's the blindfolded one?

Taco: Me, it says. *Taco puts the blindfold on, and starts stacking* Hey, guys! Make sure to lead me on the right track!

Leafy: Of course!

Barf Bag: There's a pile of blocks right next to you! Grab those!

Lollipop: Don't listen to her! Or do. I don't care.

Barf Bag: Oh, my SAP. Can you leave me alone?

Lollipop: Fine.

Clock: Hey, does anyone want to check up on Saw? She doesn't seem too good over there.

Leafy: Yikes, you're right.

Puffball: I guess I can go see what's going on.

*Puffball flies over to Saw's isolated location* Puffball: Saw, are you okay? I know you've been a little shaken by that message Gaty sent you.

Saw: I just don't get what it could mean.

Puffball: The feeling of unknowing can be a dreadful one... I've been there.

Saw: Can you promise me things will be fine?

Puffball: Yeah, of course! I think you're looking way too into this.

Saw: I guess I am... I don't know...

Puffball: Now, come on, let's head back.

*Puffball and Saw fly back to the rest of the team* Puffball: How's it going?

Leafy: Pretty good!

*Meanwhile, with Team Starfruit* Ruby: Go Spongy!

Bubble: Yeah, you got this!

Spongy: Thanks! It's hard to not see anything, but it's also fun!

Gelatin: Wow, that's a large tower! Great work, Spongedawg!

Match: Like, I can't believe I used to think you were, like, gross.

Nickel: Oh wow! Guys, time's almost up! I think that we're in the lead!

Ruby: Nice!

Bomby: Don't stop now Spongy! You got this!

Spongy: Thank you all for the compliments! It makes me so happy!

Bubble: No proiblem!

*Teardrop watches the team in the distance. She thinks to herself how much this winning streak could last, as she knows the team may not be this lucky forever. She also knows that the viewers may not be too fond of her... she brushes the scary feeling of elimination off, knowing that it will probably be alright.*

Announcer: Guess what, everybody!

Needle: Ooh, what?

Announcer: Time's up!

Needle: Aw.

Announcer: I will rate every team's tower length, starting from best... to worst. So first off, the winning team is... Team Starfruits! With their 20-block high tower, they easily take the W! They will get a prize next episode.

Spongy: I-, no, we did it, guys!

Bomby: Thanks! You did 99% of the work, though.

Spongy: Yeah, yeah...

Announcer: In second place, comes Team Apples. Their tower was only 12 blocks high, but still moderately good!

Tree: Wow, good job Balloony!

Balloony: Heh. I just tried to be careful, and I guess it worked out!

Rocky: Bleh! *Rocky jumps into Balloony's arms*

Balloony: Aw, hey little one!

Announcer: Next up, getting third, was Team Grapes! With a 9-block tower, they don't lose this time.

Clock: Phew, cuz if we did, I would be toast.

Puffball: You mean bread! Ha ha.

Clock: Yeah, "ha ha".

Taco: Welp, that was excruciating, but worth it.

Barf Bag: What a relief. I don't like it when anyone gets out.

Announcer: That means we have our bottom two. The Kiwis and Tangerines...

Pen: Oh no

Lightning: Whatever the outcome, we can say both teams tried their hardest!

TV: Yeah!

Announcer: The last team safe is... Team Tangerines. Even though they had a 5-block steeple, their flimsy contraption was better than the sad 2-block high plaything the Kiwis created.

Tennis Ball: What a relief.

*Meanwhile, the Kiwis are arguing* Donut: I told you guys to let us help!

Robot Flower: This is our fault now!? We didn't even have bad directions; it was just that clumsy Remote!

Remote: I'm the clumsy one here? Seriously? I'm blindfolded... and I'm NOT supposed to be clumsy?

Bottle: Guys, no need to fight!

TV: Whatever the outcome was, anyway, I think we all tried our hardest.

Basketball: Oh, be quiet TV. I hope you get out already.

TV: Aw.

Robot Flower: And you're one to talk!

Bottle: Hey, Announcer, can you end the episode already? I can't stand any of this fighting.

Announcer: Sure!

VOTE FOR ONE OF THE CONTESTANTS BELOW TO BE ELIMINATED USING THE STRAWPOLL IN THE DESCRIPTION. THE PERSON WITH THE MOST VOTES WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM BFB VOTING THINGY. SEE YOU IN EPISODE 27!

VOTING ENDS WHEN REMOTE ISN'T CLUMSY ANYMORE.

TV: Hey Golf Ball, are you okay? You've been so distant recently.

Golf Ball: I guess I'm fine, it's just that being Tennis Ball leaving me alone really hurt. I just felt like me and him had a bond, but he just doesn't see that anymore, I guess...

TV: That must hurt. I know how it feels to be betrayed by people who you thought were friends...

Golf Ball: I wouldn't call it betrayal. This is mostly my fault, anyway. I made him mad when we competed together, so now he wants to be away from me...

TV: Hm. Well, I'd better get to sleep, but just remember, I'm here in case you need anybody to talk to!

*TV walks away, leaving Golf Ball alone.*
