I woke to the usual sound of other objects interacting with each other far off into the distance, fighting, laughing, complaining, and doing exactly what you would expect a group of objects who were in a team together to be doing. Messing around and having fun; even if it was at someone elses expense.

I sat there and stared at the clouds as they slowly drifted across the sky. But no matter how hard I tried to ignore it I still couldn't help but try to listen to what the contestents were saying.

"So golfball, who do you think will rejoin the game?" Tennisball asked.

"Why does it matter? Everyone inside the TLC is a traitor!"

Of course golfball would say that, after what puffball did.

"When IS the rejoin anyway?" Gelatin asked.

Then the announcer's voice popped up out of nowhere.

"Right now."

Then the announcer said, after a moments pause,"Follow me."

(............... )

I listened to their footsteps for several minutes until I realised that they were starting to get louder. They were coming closer!!!

I ran behind two trees that were so close together that there was only a tiny crack in between them, just barely enough that I could see through. Then I heard a voice coming from my left that made me jump.

"What oir you doing hoir?" Someone whispered.

It was bubble!

"Bubble! What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I'm hoir to support moitch, what oir YOU doing hoir?"

I told her about how I had been camping out in this clearing nad how when i had heard footsteps, I hid.

"Wow, thats-"

Then we heard the announcer from the other side of the clearing.

"We have arrived."

We both stood there quietly, not saying anything as we watched all the contestants file into the clearing I had been camping out in for the past several months.

I saw the freesmarters chatting and couldn't help but notice how small they had gotten. Only Book, Icy, Ruby, and Pencil were left. Then I looked at team Woah Bunch for a second. . . Not much to see there. Finally, I looked at team No Name, which was the team that was standing the closest to the far edge of the clearing. I saw this wierd french-fry-thing (I think his name was fries) just standing around, Golfball and TennisBall were arguing about the rejoin, Rocky was standing by, and Firey was talking to that stupid Gelatin. (It had taken me several months to figure out the different teams without being able to see them in person, and only being able to hear them from a very far distance.)

"Why did you have to bring us into the middle of the forest?" Pencil asked.

"Because we are going to have a tree climbing contest to see who will rejoin. But first, we need to bring out the eliminated contestants."

The clearing was huge, so there was still plenty of room when the tlc appeared out of nowjere in the middle of the clearing.

"What's going on with the TLC?" Coiny asked.

The TLC was surrounded by a sinister black fog that seemed to be coming out of it's lid. Then it started to shake as everyone gasped.

Then the TLC seemed to disappear, Leaving the eliminated contestants free. But there was something different about the former contestants, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was. . . .

That was when I realized their eyes were glowing a disturbing bright red, and they all had the same expression on their face.

The sick and twisted expression of a murderer.

Okay! There's chapter one! It's eleven right now so I'll post chapter 2 tomorrow, but it feels awesome to finally be posting this!!!!
