Faet

''We cut to Cat Bell, who is sleeping on her bed, in her new dorm room. Suddenly, her collar starts talking again. But in a different voice.''

The Collar: Cat Bell, Cat Bell! Do you read me?

Cat Bell lazily wakes up.

The Collar: Alright, good! You're awake! Now we can get on with our plan!

Cat Bell: Wh-WAIT. Who is this?

The Collar: You'll find out soon enough! Now, just go to the door, and I'll give you your next orders!

''Cat Bell nervously looks around,  thinking about what to do. It can't be this difficult, right? She can just ask Clinko for a new collar… but either way, she felt obligated to go. She walked towards the door, when-''

Clinko Alarm Clock: Beep! Beep! Beep!

''The New Clinko Hot Showers get up, one by one, and run their heads. Cat Bell on the other hand, looks terrified, and goes down to her collar. Scene fades to a therapy room, with Cat Bell on the bed.''

Cat Bell: And that's what happened.

Neon Grassy: Interesting!

Cat Bell: Are you even a real therapist?

Neon Grassy: Of course I am!

Cat Bell gets up and walks away.

Neon Grassy: Aw.

''Cat Bell walks out from that room, and down the hall. Here, we can see Beehive, Paper Lantern, and Yoylebook discussing stuff. The rest of the Atomic Moonstones, sans Neon Grassy, are seen here too.''

Beehive: And breathe!

''Paper Lantern, Comic Book, and Yoylebook breathe. C and Maybe look confused.''

C: So, uh. What are we doing again?

Beehive: Meditation! We developed this strategy after Daisy Flower got eliminated, sort of to commemorate her!

C: Interesting.

Beehive: What did you guys do when you were up for elimination?

Maybe: Candy Paint had us gossip about who would be out.

Beehive: Interesting! Comic Book?

Comic Book: Normally,  Brown Kind of Flower would yell at or ignore who he thinks is getting eliminated, but he was eliminated, so…

Beehive: That's...something? Now, let's breathe in, and-

Clinko pops out of nowhere.

Clinko: Surprise!

Beehive: Gah!

Clinko: It's time for the elimination!

''The Atomic Moonstones arrive at what appears to be an upgraded elimination area: Silver Chairs, a big TV, and table for Clinko. The contestants with legs sit down in said chairs. Clinko walks into the room.''

Clinko: Greetings Moonstones! Last episode, your inability to work in a restaurant has led you to the first elimination since the team merge! We received 11 votes, and the 6 safe contestants will receive, uh, images!

Yoylebook: What are they images of?

Clinko shrugs.

Clinko: Neon Grassy, Beehive, and Paper Lantern are all safe with 0 votes! Here are your...random images.

Neon Grassy: Hey, these are images of Maybe!

Beehive: Where did you…

They all stare at Maybe.

Maybe: What.

Clinko: We’re at the final four!...which isn’t very impressive because there’s four of you. Impressively, none of you have the same amount of votes as each other! And Comic Book has the least out of all of you!

C: Which is more impressive?

Comic Book is thrown an image.

Clinko: Maybe and C are safe as well!

Yoylebook: Wait, but that means-

Clinko: At 2 and 4 votes respectively!

Two photos are thrown in front of Maybe and C. They slowly fall onto the floor.

Yoylebook: I've been eliminated?

Maybe, sarcastically: I really, really, didn't see this coming. At all.

Yoylebook: I know. And now? I was just coming out of my bubble! I even put on the accent to make myself more likeable!

Gasps.

Beehive: Accent?

Yoylebook: Yes. When I first joined this competition, I saw the other competitors, I saw myself: Someone bland and boring. Especially when that voter's opinion of me was read in episode 4, I hated myself for joining a show where I dwarf in comparison to bigger names. So, after that day, I came up with a plan! A plan to take an identity that seemed somewhat reasonable! But, even that couldn't save me this time-

Clinko: Thank you, Yoylebook, for sharing your life story. However, the time for eliminating is coming shortly! So rap it up.

Yoylebook: Alright. Guys, even though I stayed on the show for much longer than I should've, I still thank you all for the experience. Thank you-

The floor beneath Yoylebook gives away, and he falls through the floor.

Yoylebook: WOAH!

Clinko: Aw, what a nice story! He did it all to please the little old me!

C: He didn't do it to please you, he did it to make himself feel better.

Clinko: Speaking of which: VIEWERS! Have you ever wanted to pleasure yourself?

The remaining thirteen contestants arrive at the entrance of Clinko Industries.

Clinko: Contestants, it’s time for the tenth contest!

C: What obscure location are we headed to today?

Clinko: …

Clinko: …none. Unless of course, you choose to go to them!

Paper Lantern: Huh?

Clinko: Let me explain the contest, in the form of a story! In the past, Clinko Industries has been a very up-and-front company! As in, we mainly sell our products in stores. However, now, these newer companies are making profits we could be making, using marketing tactics that we can be using. As in, online purchases. While we did set up a website, we got complaints that our website isn’t very interesting. We removed those reviews of course, but we need to consider them! So, your contest is to take photos, or find media in order to make the websites more attractive! I really don’t care what you do. So, good luck-

C: Wait.

Clinko: What?

C: Back in episode eight, we did the stand up comedy in order to win the challenge, and Doggie Bone, and were supposed to receive him in episode nine! But then, you merged the teams! And we never got our prize. Not very fair. RIght guys?

Neon Grassy: Y-Yeah!

Maybe: Maybe.

Clinko: Fine. Here’s your prize.

Clinko walks up to C and hands him the Clinko Patented Stock Shot Camera.

Clinko: There. Now your team has an unfair advantage.

Pearly: I was on that team too-

Clinko: Yeah, but most of them are on the second team, so it's not like much of a difference would be made if I gave you one. Now go! Get pictures!

''Buff chickens push the contestants out of the building. They split off.''

Pearly: Wait, guys!

Flamingo Plush: Hm.

Pearly: I need to go get something!

Flamingo Plush: Will it help us with the challenge?

Pearly: Uh-

Keychain: You can go get it Pearly.

Pearly runs off.

Flamingo Plush: Alright team, I think we all know what the best scenery is!

Cat Bell: No?

Flamingo Plush: The ocean!

Doggie Bone: But don't you remember? Back in episode 1?

Flashback to Conk Contract.

Flamingo Plush: Pendleberry isn’t a coastal city! I have to make my own shrimps if I want to survive.

Flashforward.

Flamingo Plush: Shut up. Besides, isn't there like? A seafood place? And a fish district?

Keychain: Don't the fish get imported from Gayland?

Shock rises from Flamingo Plush's face.

Flamingo Plush: Oh. My. God. WE CAN GO TO GAYLAND!

Doggie Bone: Isn't it supposed to sell stuff in Pendleberry though?

Flamingo Plush: Shut up!

''Cut to inside Pearly's dorm room. He pulls out a box from underneath his bed, and pulls out his "drip" from episode eight. He puts it on, and runs back outside.''

Flamingo Plush: Alright, so me, Keychain, and Doggie Bone will be flying to Gayland, while the rest of you do nothing, like the previous episode!

''Flamingo Plush grabs Keychain and Doggie Bone, and flies off. The two scream.''

Pearly: What happened?

Butterscotch: Stuff.

Cut to the Atomic Moonstones.

Beehive: Alright guys, we may have lost Yoylebook,  but we still have a shot at winning this contest!

C: A shot? We have more than a shot. Now we can evenly split up!

Beehive: What?

Neon Grassy: Uh-

C: Me, Beehive, and Paper Lantern are gonna take a picture with this Stock crap. You three stay here.

C jumps onto Paper Lantern, and Immediately crushes her.

C: Oh.

Comic Book: I'll go to recover her!

Comic Book runs off.

Maybe: Maybe.

We cut to the Clinko Hot Showers, or the remaining few; Pearly, Butterscotch, Milkshake, and Cat Bell.

Milkshake: So, uh. What now?

Butterscotch: Dunno. The little bird thing took off.

Milkshake: What are they even gonna take a picture with?

…

Milkshake: Oh.

Cat Bell: We could always ask Clinko for a camera!

Butterscotch: He denied Pearly one when he asked. I doubt he'll do it now.

Milkshake: There has to be another strategy!

''Pearly places the bowtie on, as well as the hat. His eyes open wide, and then he starts talking.''

Pearly: Well, Milkshake has a phone, doesn’t she?

''The three look back at Pearly. Then, they look at each other.''

Milkshake: Oh yeah! But the picture quality isn’t very good.

Butterscotch: Really?

Milkshake: It’s a Clinko Phone.

Butterscotch: Fair enough.

Comic Book types out Paper Lantern and recovers her.

Paper Lantern: Ah. Thank you friend Comic Book.

Comic Book: You’re welcome miss!

…

Comic Book: So, I was thinking. You know how Beehive and C are always in control?

Paper Lantern: Yeah?

Comic Book: Well, we should make an alliance! In case one of them get eliminated!

Paper Lantern: Really?

Neon Grassy: Yeah. You saw how many votes C got this episode…

Comic Book: Oh hey NG! You want to join?

Neon Grassy: Yeah. I used to be a team leader, but that was completely ignored in favor of FP and Beehive.

Paper Lantern: So, we form an alliance?

Comic Book: Yeah!

Cut back to outside.

C: Good, your back! Now, where should we go?

Neon Grassy: We should go somewhere high, to get an overall view of Pendleberry!

C: Eh, not too sure on that one. What about you guys?

Comic Book: Yeah!

Paper Lantern: Sure…

Beehive: Um, ok!

Neon Grassy: So where do we go?

C: Well, the highest view of the city is at the Burj Pendleberry.

Maybe: They are getting really bad with these parody names.

Neon Grassy: I can fly us there!

Beehive: Let’s go!

''Everyone gets on Neon Grassy, and he flies off. Cut to Flamingo Plush, Keychain, and Doggie Bone.''

Keychain: Are we there yet?

Flamingo Plush: No.

''Cut to the Clinko Hot Showers. They're all just sitting around, not doing much.''

Pearly: So, uh. Since we all can't really do the challenge on my own part, why don't we talk? Butterscotch, got only movie experience?

Butterscotch: Yeah, I do. I starred in practically every film you can think of.

Pearly: Why'd you try to join CBT?

Butterscotch: Well, just to try and start laying low. It's stressful.

Cat Bell: This show isn't exactly a destresser either. Ever since I joined, my collar keeps talking to me, and making weird noises. It keeps me up at night.

…

Cat Bell: Yeah, I know. I'm weir-

Cat Bell gets zapped.

The Collar: Have you ever wanted to pleasure yourself? Then head down to downtown Pendleberry, and free yourself from unwanted voices!

Cat Bell: I-

Milkshake: We're doomed.

''Cut to the Atomic Moonstones. They're flying to the Burj Pendleberry.''

Maybe: Maybe it's still the stupidest name.

Neon Grassy tries to fly into the tower, but gets repelled repeatedly.

Neon Grassy: Huh?

One of the people inside write a note, and stick it to the window: Go inside, idiot.

Neon Grassy: Ok, ok.

Neon Grassy tries to fly inside, but is pushed to the back of a very long line.

Neon Grassy: Crap.

Neon Grassy slowly waits...and waits...and waits… and waits...until-

Guard: You may go inside.

Neon Grassy: Thank GOD.

''Everyone climbs off of Neon Grassy and runs inside. Except Maybe, who walks.''

C: The best way to the top is through this elevator.

All of them squeeze inside the elevator.

Neon Grassy: Did you know that I'm mildly radioactive?

Cut to Flamingo Plush, Keychain, and Doggie Bone.

Keychain: Are we there yet?

Flamingo Plush: No.

''Cut to the Clinko Hot Showers. Milkshake and Pearly are looking off into the distance.''

Milkshake: You think they're getting back soon?

Pearly: No. We need another alternative.

Milkshake: How?

Pearly: Can't you draw?

Milkshake: ...Oh yeah.

Milkshake starts drawing while her teammates cheer her on.

Milkshake: Done! You think Clinko'll like it?

Butterscotch: Hopefully.

The Moonstones reach the very, very top of the tower.

C: Oh thank GOD. Let's see…

''C takes a picture of Pendleberry. What comes out is a stock image.''

Beehive: A stock image. THAT'S why it's called the Stock Shot.

Neon Grassy: It's the best we have. We should get back.

C: Whatever.

''Black screen. Then, cut to Flamingo Plush, Keychain, and Doggie Bone.''

Keychain: Are we there yet?

Flamingo Plush: No.

The ten remaining contestants gather in Clinko Industries.

Clinko: Let me see your images!

Neon Grassy pulls up and places down a couple of stock images.

Clinko: These are stock images.

Neon Grassy: Yes?

Clinko: Wow, that's actually clever! I really should've thought about this before, the whole reusing images! Nine out of ten!

The Atomic Reapers: Yay!

Clinko: The New Clinko Hot Showers will need a star studded performance to steal another win!

''Milkshake nervously looks out the window, then at her team, then at Clinko. She gives him the drawing.''

Clinko: This is…

Clinko: THIS IS…

Clinko: Absolute garbage. A drawing?! This is a mobile auctioning site, not a kids video app. If I wanted horrible art I would’ve asked Clair, who’s a modern arts major. You guys lose.

Clinko walks off.

Milkshake: Man, he really had another CBT 5 moment.

Butterscotch: A what?

Milkshake: Well, you see…

''Pearly looks outside the window. Cut to Flamingo Plush, who is still flying over the woods.''

Keychain: Man, this forest is really, really, long.

Doggie Bone: Are you ok FP?

Flamingo Plush: …shrimp fuel empty. Turning off abilities to fly.

Keychain: Wait, wha-

''Flamingo Plush crashes into the woods, while Doggie Bone and Keychain hold on for dear life. Cut to the elimination screen.''

Clinko: Vote someone off of the Clinko Hot Showers to be eliminated! The contestant who receives the most votes will exit the game next episode! Voting ends four days after this episode's release!

''We see a familiar face: Turk. He is seen with a group of other recognizable faces: Alexis, Arthur Nelsec, Townsend, and more. They're all gathered around a table. Suddenly, Cucumber comes in, holding a box of donuts.''

Cucumber: Hey guys!

Turk: CUCUMBER. Stop.

Cucumber: But I got donuts!

Turk: Just...put the donuts down.

Cucumber places the donuts down and backs up slowly.

Turk: I've gathered you all here for a special announcement! The perfect plan is coming together

Alexis: How? You already had a "perfect plan" when you tried to frame Clinko for robbing that museum.

Turk: This is different! You see, some of Clinko's contestants are literally stranded in the woods!

Gasp.

Alexis: Seriously? Was it one of the little craps who blew up my store?

Turk: Three of them. But that's not the point. With this predicament, our organization has a strong clause against Clinko!

A chicken intern walks into the room.

Carl: Not only that, but episode 10 has finished production. This episode is particularly spiteful, in all the ways that Turk has mentioned. Tomorrow, we will strike.

Turk: Yes. Clinko Industries will be no more.
