Another Random Object Show (AROS) is a 2023 webseries made by (currently anonymous) showrunner, "Wise", otherwise known as "Albert".
Although not exactly clear, my plans for this show is either animation, or simply publishing the scripts, then letting the readers/viewers vote every so often.
6 seasons are currently planned for Another Random Object Show, with Season 1 still being in production as of 08-25-2023.
Season 1 features a cast of 25 contestants, one debuting, and focuses on Physical Abuse and Character Lore which eventually climaxes in the finale.
Season 2 features another 25 contestant cast, this time with each character being new. It focuses on Mental Abuse, however this time Relationships are key as strains and inter-team mingling is rampant.
Season 3 features yet another 25-character cast, being focused upon Emotional Abuse, Growth and Manipulation, with characters starting off as awful people only to be eliminated when they try to change.
Seasons 4 and 5, despite still being in Competition, tone it down a little and simply focus on Character Interactions.
Season 6 goes full swing with the "Character Interactions" theme as with this season, a cast of 128 is thrown together to eventually merge into one ginormous storyline, leading to the finale.
CAN I JOIN?!
That's a tricky question!
From Seasons 1 - 5, Recommended Characters are either cameos, or full-blown characters that help with challenges only to be eviscerated by The Host at the end.
In Season 6 however, Recommended Characters can JOIN the show, as if a Recommended Character gets enough comments speaking of them, or asking that they join, then they will become part of the SORA Storyline.
As for VAing, some Recommended Characters may be voiced, mainly ones who help with storylining.
Recommended Characters come at no cost, simply get enough people to tell me about them, and they will join. It especially increases your chances of being a memorable recommender if you give your RC a personality to use so that if they ARE the episode's Special RC, I know how they act.
Note that by Season 6, Recommenders may VA their RC if they join the show.
As for Viewer Voting, in some episodes from S1 - S3, Viewers will be asked to vote for ONE character to receive an upper-hand in the next episode.
In S4 and S5, however, Vote to Eliminate and Vote to Save are most important, as only ONE Team can win. In S5, Double Eliminations amongst both Teams UFE are in place, meaning each episode, 4 contestants are eliminated until only one team stands.
WHEN DO YOU START?
Episode 1 is to be released soon, sometime during 2023 atleast.
ANOTHER RANDOM OBJECT SHOW: SEASON 2, EPISODE 2 "It won't be Long."
Telephone nervously tapped his foot as The Losers stood around in silence. “Alright! We may have lost the FIRST challenge but…” Telephone pauses. “We can win the next one! Just.. gotta be motivated!” He says, enthusiastically. “or be more focused; I think SOME of us here are dead weight.” Hammer said, staring at Diamond and Money Bag. “…I get I made us all lose last time, but can we—” Soda Can says, apologetically before being cut off; “Nawh, you have potential; you’re fine. THOSE two however? Rich Preps. Never had to work a day in their lives..” Hammer sneers. “Why excuse you!” Money Bag scoffs.
Taco retreats into a bush, he turns to Ice Cream and Pizza. “They seem easy to infiltrate! We just have to… uh.. befriend them! ..then they'll switch!” Taco cheers. “..wait, your plan was to befriend our enemies?” Pizza asks. “Wouldn't it be easier to just manipulate them, or something?” Ice Cream adds. “…but that's really mean..!” Taco says. “Yeah, well you gotta do mean things sometimes, sweetie.” Ice Cream groans. “Besides, me and Pizza are getting bored watching The Losers, we’re gonna go find some people to talk to.” She says, now walking with Pizza. “See ya! :D” Pizza waves.
Telephone sighs as The Losers disband from the area, followed by a shrill yelp after being startled by Briefcase asking; “Telephone?! Where on Earth is Mr. Kārd, then?!” Telephone replied— “M… mister Kārd is busy, Mr. Briefcase! We just had a heated interaction in which Hammer’s interest intertwined with Mr. Kārd’s..!” Hammer scoffed. “You should tell your boss that he’s the problem with our team, subordinate!” Hammer scowls. “Uhm, er.. uhm… y-yes!” Telephone answered, running off. Soda Can began to follow, stopped by Hammer. “You, stop. Let's discuss a plan.” He said.
Pizza, Ice Cream and Taco now spotted R0BUD, Klubs Kārd, Mannequin and The Cherry Sisters— a clique to infiltrate; they immediately insert themselves into their group.
After securing a spot in the clique, The Foodies, alongside The Losers and The Winners, got brought back to their own areas, The Gourd now announced…
“CONTESTANTS! Today’s challenge will be centered around SHACKS! Teams must build SHACKS to live in! Whichever team has the WORST Shack by the end of the 2 hour period will be UP FOR ELIMINATION!” The Gourd announced.
“Cool, where are the tools?” Pizza asked. “..or boards!” Taco exclaimed.
“…OH.” The Gourd awkwardly spawned in a dozen piles of planks, screws, and construction equipment. “…go ahead!” He said, now snapping to start the 2 hour period.
“Huh– okay, where do we start?” Taco asked Burger. “Uuuuuhhhh…” Bread now got some planks and exclaimed— “I’m on it, don’t worry!!” as he began to foundate the structure.
Meanwhile, Diamond was ranting, talking about the plan until he turned his back, to which Torch said— “Sodie~! …got any plans?”
“I.. uh…” Hammer now spoke for him. “We’ll have to foundate the shack— y’know, concrete and mortar? Yeah. We have to do that, y’all.” Hammer nodded, now taking Soda Can. “Torch, can you—” Torch shrugged and went on with it before Hammer finished. “…huh. and Soda, wanna talk while we do the shack?” He asked. “..uh… y.. yeah!”
As Hammer and Soda Can built the walls, The Cherry Sisters side-eyed Torch and Money Bag, one spoke now. “Are they…?” Cherry asked. “Oh, they're TOTALLY.” Cherri replied. “Ohmygod— I know right?” Cherry accepted. “like just shut up and..!” Cherri said, the two giggled as they watched Torch talk to Money Bag who, for some reason, just couldn't stop flustering at whatever Torch was saying to him. Money Bag eventually huffed and went back to Diamond with his supplies, as did Torch with Hammer.
“See— you need to hold it CAREFULLY— here.” Hammer helped Soda Can use a circle saw but.. it was warm. So warm. So odd. The way he grabbed his hand and gently wrapped it around his waist to insure he’d be safe if anything happened— which he was right.
The Circle Saw suddenly groaned and revealed itself as Sawblade who shouted— “FUCKING HELL— JUST FUCK ALREADY!” as he now flung himself at the two, which failed as Hammer pulled both himself and Soda Can away onto the field— causing Sawblade to fling off.
“Y’GOOD?!” Hammer asked as he held Soda Can. “..aaaaHHHH YEAH.” Soda Can said, flustering to get off. “MHM! Right! Y’know, let’s just.. build this!” Soda Can pointed at the planks. “…how are we supposed to build without a saw?” Hammer asked, resulting in Soda Can to space out. “..ahh, don’t worry, I’m a Hammer! I’ll just nail them in.” He chuckled. “..r-right! Mhm!” Soda Can got up and began to build the shack with what planks they had.
Meanwhile, The Winners were ahead, per usual.
“IT IS FOR CERTAIN WE ARE SAFE.” R0BUDDY said. “Oh, er.. yeah, yep! Mhm! Keep building!” Camera said, sitting in a lawn chair. “If I knew R0BUDDY just did things without question, I would've used him for the first challenge!” Camera admitted to Hot Chocolate. “..er… R0BUDDY’s sentient. You… KNOW that ri—” Camera groans. “..where’s Clown?” He asks. “..Clown is er.. where IS Clown…?”
For The Foodies, who were struggling, things only got worse when…
“Ah.. here we go.. we’re nearly done!” Taco claimed, suddenly, Sawblade came flying through and, while missing Taco, hit Ice Cream. “OHMYGOD” Burger yelped— “STRAWBERRY!!” Pizza screamed, panicked. Bread, however, witnessing this, thought of something… leading him to rush to The Gourd just as it was announced—
“THE LOSERS ARE SAFE!” The Gourd cheered as The Losers had been first to finish their shack.
“Oh… GOOD JOB YOU GUYS!! :D” Bread cheered them on, resulting in Telephone nodding slightly to say— “er.. t.. thank you!”
As The Gourd recovered Ice Cream, Taco tried to finish his stack, however, Clown, hiding around the corner, shook it and—
“W— WOAHHH!” CLATTER! “FREE MATERIAL?” R0BUDDY heard the clattering and now rushed over to steal the things used in The Foodie’s Shack.
Before they knew it… “THE WINNERS ARE SAFE! FOODIES! YOU’RE UP FOR ELIMINATION!” The Gourd announced.
“..no..! ..I… I did everything right!” Taco sighed. “Don't beat yourself up over it..!” Bread patted Taco’s back. “Besides, Sawblade caused more damage today, I think…” Spade scowled. “More like Taco..! I SAW with my own eyes what you did.” Taco sighed. “or Bread! He abandoned us!” Burger argued. “You guys just wanna get rid of us!” Spade groaned as he walked away, leaving Bread, Burger and Taco.
“Sigh… maybe they're right. I.. would like to—” Taco stopped Burger. “Burgz, no. Don't finish that. You’d be letting Spade’s get the final say.” Burger sighed as Bread furthered— “Exactly! I know it's hard but… we’ve gotta show you guys can be better than him!” Bread pause. “…if he doesn't convince the others.” He sighed as he saw Spade spreading misinformation about Taco.
“AND KLUBS—” Spade was about to give a job to Klubs before Briefcase ahemed. “Mr. Kārds?” Spade recoiled. “Briefcase! Erm…!” Briefcase sighed. “Kārds, do you have any idea where we are? or why you’re spreading.. rumors?” Briefcase reminded. “…a gameshow.. and to… eliminate the competition?” Briefcase sighed at this answer. Leading to Spade being shut by Klubs. “Mr. Case, wait. I must say something.” Klubs said, stopping Briefcase as he spoke to him.
All the while, The Cherry Sisters crept up on Soda Can, lightly shocking him as he was deep in thought.
“OH— SHIT!” Soda Can recoiled upon The Cherry Sisters making a long, windy birdcall. “The.. fuck?” The Cherries giggled then said, “Sorry! We didn't know how to approach—” Cherri said, “anyways, what’s with you and Hammer?” Cherry asked. “Oh. I… I don't know.” Soda Can sighed. “In retrospect, I… don't even know what show I’m on. I didn't even agree to join.” Cherri piqued— “Wait. You didn't agree?” Soda Can seemed confused, saying: “Yeah… why?” The Sisters whisper amongst each other, which Cherry eventually says. “It’s just… that's weird. Every person we’ve talked to— albeit, that's very few— actually joined on their own behalf.” Soda Can seemed slightly intrigued now, and, out of sheer curiosity, asked “Did… you?” The Sisters paused. “…well…” Cherri looked at Cherry, who looked at Cherri. “…I… think uhm…” The Sisters mumble. “…Cherries, it's… yo.. did you or did you not get dragged into the bus by The Gourd?” Soda Can asked. “…no?” Cherry said, Cherri sighing a breath of relief. “Then no, Cherry, we’re perfectly fine! That means Hammer, Diamond and Spade, Bread and Sawblade, and Camera all joined on their own terms!” Suddenly appearing, The Clacker Brothers exclaim— “and don't forget about us!” The Sister exchanges a chuckle as Soda Can asks: “Wait. What? …I thought you guys basically spied on other teams and sometimes us? What—” The Right Brother now states “Simple! We’re both two. Obviously once we caught on, we replicated her! ^^” The Brothers point at a different sister, and begin to bicker, cut off by Cherri saying: “Wait, you were replicating us?” The Right one sheepishly admits— “I, uh… well… it was Jandro’s idea!” He points to the left. “Ay, shut up Luis.” He scowls. “We did it after R0BUDDY suggested it to us.” Soda Can sighs. “Al.. right then?” Cherry now blurts out— “HAMMERCAN—” before being covered by Cherri. “What was that?” Soda Can said. “It’s nothing, just… go spend time with Hammer! :)” Cherri suggests, dismissing Soda Can.
“…Luis, what do you want?” Cherri asks. “Oh… sorry, we—” Alejandro tugged on Luis, pulling him to the right. “HE was just curious about the plan for the next elimination. We’re both safe this time—” Cherri cuts him off. “Elimination isn't really our thing, Al. We can't just make up votes; Cherry’s a prep, I’m a gossip girl, you’re uh…” she pauses. “and Luis is soft.” Alejandro sighed. “Exactly. If we don't start playing cards, we’re gonna end up in shit.” There was silence, then Cherry asked— “sooo… is Luis single?”
Just as Alejandro scowls, and Luis is about to excitedly answer— The Gourd rings out: “FOODERS! MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE ELIMINATION AREA, AND HAVE A VOTE IN MIND.” Cherry sighs as The Clacker Brothers walk off, with Cherri saying to her, “Don't worry, I’m sure we'll reconvene with them… plus, it's not like they're up for voting!” Cherry looks over at Cherri.
With The Foodies now at the elimination zone, The Gourd speaks. “FOODPEOPLE. You are ALL up for elimination against each other.” Spade leans over to Sawblade, whispering something to him, before leaning back. Though Taco notices this, he is focused on The Gourd. “Each person will get a chance to make their vote. The person with the most votes is out of the game. Any objections or questions?” The Gourd surveys the team. “…very well.” The Gourd now snaps his fingers loudly, three times. “MAKE A VOTE.” Spade is the first of the group to get up, being confident in his vote, however ensures Sawblade follows him to the booth.
Spade whispers once again, before entering the voting booth, and complaining: “My, it smells BURNT in here! …damages not paid by who-na-now?” The Gourd corrects from outside, “Lunartic, and stay on task. Make a vote.”
Spade groans. “Fine. Whatever, I already know who's out.” He confidently picks Taco for his vote.
Surprisingly, Sawblade allows Bread and Burger to cut him in line so he can speak to everyone else in line privately, gathering the other four contestants of The Foodies into a quartet line staring at the back.
Bread enters the Voting Booth, and notes this immediately. “Wonder what they're looking at Sawblade for? Maybe he said something? …oh well! Uhm… oh… uhh…” Bread freezes up, causing The Gourd to use the booth’s PA. “What? What's wrong?” He asks. “…I don't… know who to vote for… uhm…” The Gourd sighs. “Listen. I can't help you vote. Sorry. Pick a person, just… whoever you think wouldn’t be nice to you back?” Bread thinks. “..oh! ..so.. Sawblade or Spade?” Bread pauses, sighing after realizing he just asked The Gourd to make a decision for him, which he can't do as the show’s host. “…well… what would Burger pick? He’s nice! …I think… uhm… he seems angry at Spades.. so.. Spade?” Vote counted! “..because… uhm… oh I hope I’m not eliminating someone…” Bread murmurs nervously, exiting the booth and allow Burger follows after, anticlimactically telling an exiting Bread his vote is for “Spade. He’s an asshole.” Taco join in too. “No kidding. Seriously, I don't know why— but I have a feeling he's already found a way to pull SOMEBODY’s strings.”
Sawblade enters after them, then smiles whilst voting for Taco. There is no dialogue from him as he lets the other half of the team come into the voting booth.
Ice Cream follows first. “What a creep! Seriously, time to go!” She repulsed about Taco. “Couldn't agree more. She absolutely has to get out.” Pizza voted with. Of course, came Ramen. Who paused and sighed. “…I wish it hadn't come to this.” She said, lightly tapping a vote.
With that, as Ramen exited the voting booth, The Gourd announced just as she sat down— “The votes are in! Whoever has the most votes shall leave tonight.” He nods, now reading the votes aloud.
“First vote: Spade.”
Spade shifts and sighs, believing this as inconsequential.
“Second vote: Spade.”
Spade slightly perks now, but sits back down as he allows the ceremony to continue.
“Third vote: Taco.”
Taco glares over at Spade, tension present.
“Fourth vote: Taco.”
However, she finds it inconsequential, too, as she is calmed by Burger.
“Fifth vote: Spade. Three votes, Spade.”
Spade now becomes alert, surprised now as he becomes aware of the situation’s severity.
“Sixth vote: Taco. Three votes, Taco.”
Taco is now baffled as he hears that. Now realizing some of the other Foods voted against him.
“Seventh vote: Taco. Four votes Taco, Three Votes Spade. The final vote goes to…”
Spade now gets ready to hear for a Tie, and Taco is confused as to what it was leading to her elimination.
“Taco. With five votes against you, you have been eliminated.”
Spade sits back down, with a sigh of relief. Taco, however, sits up and immediately asks—
“What the hell?!” She stares at the team, Burger coming over. “We are a TEAM?!” Pizza stands up. “That was until I learned you two want to voyage with me and Cream!” He defies. “..what?” Burger asks. “Don't play koi— first you REFUSE to let us use manipulation tatics, now you act dumb?! Do you seriously think we’re genuinely this clueless?!” Ice Cream revolts. “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ON ABOUT??” Taco revolts back. “GUYS! Guys! Let's calm down! We can surely settle this over something more calming—” Bread said before Ramen cut him off. “like Hot Chocolate?” Bread agreed, not realizing her hint. “Yes, yes! Such as cocoa! Oh! That's wonderful! Tac–” CLAP! “…o.” The Gourd had already eliminated Taco by the time Bread turned around.
“…I wish it didn't have to come to this.” Ramen sighs. “..come to what?” Burger asks. “YOU and HER don't want cross-team mingling.” Ramen revolts. “…WHAT?” Burger asks. “..what?” Burger groans. “…with… whom?” Ramen sighs, admitting: “Hot Chocolate of The Winners.” Burger perks up. “…in what universe do me or Taco need to make sure you and Hot Chocolate aren't meeting?” Burger asks. “…this one.” Ramen says, growing confused. “…Ramen, is this bychance a romantic relationship?” Ramen flusters. “Well, I—” Burger groans. “Ramen. The point is so long as it doesn't affect the team, I genuinely do NOT care who you're talking with. Seriously, who told you this??” Ramen pauses. “…shit. Sawblade.” Burger groans. “Who’s currently a dogwhistle for Spade, but…” Burger looks over at Spade, who is being assaulted by Sawblade, who is bored. “LET ME CARVE ART INTO YOU!!!” He’d screech. “NO! HANDS OFF ME, FILTH!” Burger turns back. “..yeah. Anyways, knowing this, I need you to gather the others to meet tomorrow. I think I know what happened.” Ramen nodded. “That sounds right. Sawblade talked to us person-by-person, and whispered so nobody else but his targets would hear. That probably means he told each of us a different story so we’d vote for a different reason.” Burger nods. “Exactly. Hence I need to tell everyone this.. and prove it. Again, thanks, and.. seriously, go talk to her if you want.” Ramen nods. “I will.” She says, walking off.
Bread then approached Burger as The Gourd began to close the episode. “Burger, I’m so sorry. I thought I could help but…” Bread pauses looking at Burger, then back at the ground. “..I… yet again failed to make things better. At all.” He says, sighing. “..hey.. it's okay! You at-least TRIED to help us eliminate Spade.” Bread paused. “…would it have made any difference?” Burger sighs. “Of course it would! If you hadn't voted with me and Taco, you’d be just as ill informed as the others.” Burger says, standing up. “…don't beat yourself up over the fact the outcome didn't come out any differently than it would've if you had done nothing. The only people who deserve to beat themselves up are people who didn't even try to do anything.” Bread looks up, confused. “…so I shouldn't feel bad, because I tried?” Burger nods. “Exactly. Here, do you wanna walk around The Plains?” He offers. “…okay.” Bread and Burger now leave the Elimination Area as The Gourd calls out the final lines of the script.
“…here, on Another Random Object Show. Hm.” He claps, causing the torches to go out, and ending the episode once and for all.
END.
Another Random Object Show was written by TheWiseGuest.
FIN.
“Visit us at 56 Takani Ln. in The 51st Today!” Marianna exclaimed.
“…hey, wait— where did the Taco and Burger we were holding just go?” Diana noted as the commercial ended. “…good question? Uhm… huh.” Marianna blinked, deciding to rewind the footage. “…weird— they just… disappeared?” Diana looked at Marianna, then the footage, and paused. “…huh. They… did uhm… huh.”
MEANWHILE, IN THE PLAINS.
“…huh…?” Taco awoke with Burger, being given life. “…what are you saying?” … “…what's going on here—” Burger got up, now interrupted by The Gourd. “Oh good, it worked! Are you two aware of what you’re doing?” He’d ask. “…no?” Taco said. “…we aren't even su—” The Gourd cuts them off again. “GREAT! You two are Taco and Burger, respectively! You hail from Diana and Marianna’s Burgers and Tacos, a… sponsor I found.” He blinks. “..and are officially two new contestants for Season 2 of ANOTHER RANDOM OBJECT SHOW!” Burger now replied— “Hold on, what? I’m sorry, we.. just uhm… wee… huh…” Taco nudged Burger. “Burgs, I’m sure if we stick together we can just like.. make a duo? I guess?” Burger thought for a while, then nodded. “..okay, I guess. Sure.” The Gourd now declared— “WONDERFUL! The show begins in a few months! For now, mind tidying the place as a pre-challenge?” Burger and Taco nod. “Sure! Okay, Taco! Help me pluck weeds!” Taco agrees and gets to work with Burger as The Gourd disappears to create more contestants.
“...stop.” Soda Can said, pushing his uncle’s hand off his thigh. “...Stop.” He said again. “C’mon, Sodie~! Y’know you wanna have some fun with Uncle Cucumber.” Uncle Cucumber said. “I don't.” Soda Can refused. “It'll be so much fun though~!” He now tried to pin Soda Can onto the couch, but failed as Soda Can stepped away. “THAT’S IT! I’M DONE! YOU KEEP TRYING TO HAVE SEX WITH ME AND— AND IT’S WEIRD! I HATE IT! I HATE THIS!” He was crying. “JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!” He said, slamming the door behind him and walking out. “...his loss.” Uncle Cucumber murmured.
Soda Can walked past everything. Past the restaurant of Diana and Marianna, who tried to speak to him in concern often. Past Kārds and Co. Banking, LLC, the largest bank in the world… and past a dark alleyway.
“HEY KID!” A strange pumpkin now said. “Wanna join a gameshow? The prize shall be YOUR deepest desire!” He offered.
“How would you know that…?” Soda Can sighed, now walking away.
“I read your soul.” The pumpkin said, causing Soda Can to stop in his steps. “You want nothing more than to get away from your rather perverted uncle. To be safe again. To feel at home.” The pumpkin now grew its hollowed-out mouth. “Join, and that prize is your’s.”
Soda Can didn't have much time to think before The pumpkin simply took it as a yes, the pumpkin then led him to a bus. A rather empty one, and began to drive him. Sure, a bowl of ramen, a hot cup of chocolate and a Money Bag was on the bus, but what was he to make of it?
He slowly felt tired, and like the other three aboard with him, fell asleep on the bus.
When the bus arrived, the pumpkin clapped, waking everyone up. “WAKEY WAKEY! ..we’re here.” The pumpkin now floated out of the bus and into a crowd of about 20 other people. “CONTESTANTS! These are the 4 people I recruited! Sorry for the delay! Hopefully those cottages were cozy…” he said, sheepishly. “...who’s he?” Soda Can asked. “Are you serious? That's The Gourd!” Money Bag said, exasperated. Soda Can looked up at him, and tilted his head. “Hm.”
“Well, we should get to making teams, right?” The Cherry Sisters said, excitedly. “Ohp! Good point, Cherries!” The Gourd said, before standing. “...so, wanna—” The Clacker Brothers spoke before one of them CLACKED into the other, causing The Gourd to now do what he was meant to.
The Gourd now began to rip the land away from the mass, creating a creek, and making The Plains an island. “TEAMS WILL NOT BE MADE!” The Gourd stated, now finishing.
“Instead, this season, teams will be made dependent on the performance of YOU!” The Gourd stated. “The first challenge, and the challenge that will pick which team you are on, is to row a boat around the stream and back! THIS FLAG!” He pointed to a flag in the middle of a patch of sand, making a beach. “WILL BE YOUR CHECKPOINT! ONCE YOU CROSS IT, YOU DON’T NEED TO GO AGAIN!” The Gourd snapped his fingers “BEGIN!”
Contestants began to rush to get a boat, Soda Can was left disoriented in the crowd, yet suddenly— “Taking this one!” A torch said. “Oh— jeez, alright uhm…” Torch now placed Soda Can in his boat and rowed with him, Soda Can watched as on the stream, nearly 24 boats floated. Being rowed, so gently, yet with such fiercenesses that they moved quickly. “...it's pretty isn't it?” Torch said. “...y… yeah… OH! RIGHT! JEEZ! SORRY! I DON’T EVEN KNOW YOU OHMYGOODNESS” Soda Can now panicked and began rowing. “It's Tyler, but my competition name, and the name everyone’s been calling me, is Torch. Go ahead and say that.” Torch lent out his hand, to which Soda Can held, only for it to be shaken, resulting in him meekly shaking it back. “Right! We gotta go, sorry…” Soda Can sighed.
Just then, a ding rang out. “THE CLACKER BROTHERS ARE THE FIRST TWO HERE! GET TO THE SHORE TO GET INTO HIS TEAM!” Torch then said “Shoot, we better hurry!”, to which Soda Can agreed and began to row violently with him.
Despite this, the next one safe was.. “Klubs Kārd and Briefcase! Welcome to THE WINNERS!” The Gourd shook their hands. “Oh my, oh my… Kārd, you never said you had such violence in you!” Briefcase said, fear in his eyes. “Whatever.” Klubs replied. This was followed by Camera, Mannequin and Clown, to which Camera said— “Thanks for making me do all the work…” he sighed. “Uh… whoopsies!” Clown honked his nose.
Hot Chocolate appeared after them, with R0BUDDY. “Wait, but that means—” Hot Chocolate despaired. “YES! WE ARE THE WINNERS! WOO-HOO!” R0BUDDY cheered, doing a little dance. “...but Ramen…” Hot Chocolate sighed.
“THE FIRST 8 HAVE ARRIVED! WHO WILL BE THE LOSERS?!” The Gourd announced.
“We’re not gonna make it…” Soda Can sighed. “Oh well, we tried, right?” Torch said, rowing. “..yeah.. I… I guess we did.” Soda Can sighed.
Suddenly, a large mass of people appeared at the finish. “We’re here!” Taco announced, bringing Burger, Pizza, and Ice Cream with her. “I’M MOST IMPRESSED! What is your team name?” The Gourd asked Taco. “We’re The Foodies!” Burger cheered. “THE FOODIES ARE HERE! C’MON PEOPLE!” The Gourd said.
“We’re here! Pant…” Bread sighed. “I most appreciate you for the ride.” Spade patted Bread’s head. “Awh, it was nothing!” Bread said. “It was the least I could do.” Bread gave a warm smile, before…
“aaAAAAAAAHHHHHH” Ramen screamed as Sawblade somehow managed to make their boat CRASH right into the ground next to The Gourd. “DAMNIT SAWBLADE— oh.” Ramen said, getting her contents back in. “Told ya! If you don't play by any rules, then you ain't gonna lose!” Sawblade said before chuckling. “YOU TWO ARE THE LAST ONES SAFE! Now to wait…” The Gourd said.
Torch and Soda Can were the first ones to make it. “Did… did we make it?” Soda Can asked The Gourd. “Wait.” The Gourd told Soda Can.
A Hammer now ran up to the two. “YOU TWO! May have beat me now! But I ain’t down YET!” Hammer told them. “...al… right?” Soda Can said, confused. “MONEY BAG! You FAILED us!” Diamond said. “Oh great, there goes my paycheck.” Money Bag groaned. “It's alright! Mr. Kārd, let's calm down.” Telephone said, Diamond stared at him, but sighed and meditated as they waited. Finally, after 5 minutes, The Cherry Sisters arrived. “Ohmygosh! We were so busy! Sorry!” One of them said, “We got busy talking about fashion! Ugh!” The right one said, putting a fist against her head.
“Well, I hope your team likes you…” The Gourd now unveiled which team these 8 were on. “You are 8 are up for elimination and are now… THE LOSERS. See you at Elimination…!” The Gourd said sinisterly, now walking away.
“That was a close one, huh?” Pizza said. “Speaking of close, should we be bonding with other teams?” Ice Cream says. “...what? Ehm… go ahead, I don't… what?” Taco seemed confused, before Burger answered— “Go ahead, it’s your choice.” He shrugged.
Ice Cream now listened to The Losers as they spoke…
“...wait, 8 of us? Where’s—” Diamond now yelped as he saw… “HI! I’M FILE. YOUR PERSONAL ASSISTANT!”
“I THOUGHT I FIRED YOU!” Diamond yelled. “Firing doesn't necessarily make him disappear forever.” Money Bag eyerolled. “...WELL! I WANT HIM TO!” Diamond demanded. “TELEPHONE! MAKE HIM GO AWAY!”
“Oh..! Yes, sir!” Telephone nodded, now talking to File. “...we are GETTING rid of him.” Diamond says. “That, we are…” Money Bag nodded.
Soda Can now sighed, following Torch. “...what are we gonna do?” He asked. “Hm? We’ll probably just play this show the way I’ve seen it been played—we stick together!” Torch held his hand out, to which Soda Can shook on. “...alr.. ight! We’ll stick together… then!” Hammer then scoffed at the two as The Ceremony Bell rang.
The Gourd stood before The Losers, lanterns and lamp posts illuminating the area. “Gathered in front of me are you 8, people most unfortunate as to fail on the first challenge.” He said. “A year ago, today, the VERY FIRST elimination took place, eliminating The Silent Genius.” He now revealed the Elimination Booth. “Contestants. Cast your ballot; whoever is with the most votes will be on their way, never to be seen again.”
Diamond couldn't contain his excitement for the elimination and pushed away the others as he sprinted to vote for File, then demanded Telephone and Money Bag do the same. Soda Can and Torch, despite not being part of their scheme, voted File, too.
Hammer glared at his option, murmuring… “Get your biggest threats out first, deal with the weak links later.” as he voted for Soda Can.
“He’s just.. so weird, right?” One of the Cherry Sisters said. “That's kinda mean— he’s silent, I would say!” The other said. “Well, too bad. I’m voting for him.” The first half said, now voting Soda Can. “For being weird..? You're following in Peach’s Footsteps…”
“The votes have been recorded.” The Gourd stated.
“I think I will see to it File has been ELIMINATED! His demeanor is utterly unacceptable and DISGUSTING!” Diamond stated.
“I– K– HI! I’M– let– FILE, PERSONAL– speak.” File said, spazing. “..I’m pretty sure he's just mentally ill, have you taken him to a hospital or psychiatrist?” The RIGHT Cherry Sister said.
The Gourd now interjected. “Regardless, the time to reveal the votes is NOW.” He began to reveal the SAFE contestants.
“Cherry Sisters, Hammer, Money Bag, Telephone and Torch, you’re all safe with 0 votes.” The Gourd announced their safety.
“As deserved, File is eliminated~!” Diamond immediately said.
“As much as I now despise you ruining the element of suspense eliminations are meant to bring, you are correct.” The Gourd sighs. “File received 5 votes. Diamond, you received a singular vote indicative of him, and Soda Can received 2 votes. Either way, File is out.” The Gourd says, now bringing File to him.
“damn you kārds and co. banking, llc.” File said he was turned into a vanilla file, which floated onto the ground.
As The Gourd ranted, Soda Can was now realizing just how risky this show could be, watching as the others discussed File’s Disappearance, while Diamond celebrated it.
END.
Another Random Object Show was written by TheWiseGuest.
FIN.
“Ms. Heart, I haven't felt good lately…” File told Heart. “...ah, bless your heart.” She sighed. “File, sweetie, I care about you, so y’know what?” She stood from her chair, and now patted File. “Take a break. You deserve it, hon.”
The day of the finale, everything went silent. Nobody spoke. Birds chirped as The Final 4 waited for The Gourd.
Cuby and David were signing to each other.
“What will we do now?”
“私たちは一緒に仕事をしています。”
“Alright. Who gets the win though?”
“誰でもより多くの仕事をします。”
“Seems fair. Should we keep an eye on them?”
Cuby now looks over at Mime and Sunny.
“Aren't you excited? We’re at the finals!! :D”
“WE DID ittTtttTTTT!! yAYY YYYYYYYY!!” Mine cheered with Sunny.
“子どもたちには何の挑戦もないようです。”
David nods, now hearing The Gourd ringing a bell.
“FINALISTS! I have read your files.” He now unveils 4 dishes. “You will all get a final meal before the finale begins.”
Cuby’s Meal was a plate of Takoyaki and Sōbe, David’s was a Funnel Cake and Coke, Mime’s was strange— a peanut and banana yogurt and glass of water which it immediately ravished. Finally, Sunny got a cosmic snack, the name of which he immediately exclaimed— “STARCRUNCHIES!!” He exclaimed. “..it’s a mux of Aesteroids and Stardust!” He gasped. “EEEE!! and a Starshake!!” He immediately slurped a strange, luminous purple drink which seemed to be made of stardust.
The Gourd nodded as he watched the contestants eat, before announcing — “You may also choose THREE former contestants to help you on your finale.” Sunny gasps, now running over. “I WANNA PICK!! Okay, okay, I wannntt.. Moony, Starry and—” The Gourd pat Sunny. “Now, now, they’ll participate.” He nods. “...oh, okay.” He says.
Sunny now excitedly waited as Cuby, David and Mime finished up their suppers.
“FINALISTS! THIS! IS! YOUR! FINAL! CHALLENGE!” The Gourd announced , revealing The Lava Pit.
“...wouldn’t I just win again, this seems unfair…” Sunny says, stepping back. “Au contraire! This is NOT just ONE contest. It's 25.” The Gourd says. “You will all have to complete a collection of 25 contests, 22 have already appeared, leaving 3 to be completed BY YOURSELF!” He now points. “Your 3 Volunteering Eliminatees will help you based on the era of the challenges! Contests 1 to 10 are Pre-Merge Challenges, Contests 11 to 16 are Team Merge Challenges, and Contests 17 to 22 are post-merge challenges! Contests 23 to 25, however? YOU FINALISTS HAVE TO DO IT YOURSELF!” The Gourd announced, excitedly. “YAAAAYYY!!” Sunny cheers. “AND! AND!” The Gourd now is excited, due to Sunny’s Infectious Enthusiasm. “The 25th, and final challenge is NOT hard at all!” He now raises a Trophy.
“THIS trophy will determine the winner, get past ALL 24 contests, and you WIN!” He announces, now sending the Trophy to the end of the challenge.
“WAIT. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHERS?” Mime says. “...hm?” The Gourd waits for it to continue. “...THE OTHER ELIMINATE d CONTESTANTS?” It followed. “Ah! They will sit in the stands, being spectators.” He nods. “Now, get to the starting — uline.” He points, the four now step on a red line. “The first four contestants will meet you at the end of the very first contest, GO!”
Cuby, per his previous strategy, went with the large-yet-trickety platforms, David chose the pegs, clinging between them.
Meanwhile, Sunny and Mime already finished, as Sunny had swam across the lava, while Mime had shapeshifted into Hangman and simply hung across the platform. Sunny’s first assistant was…
“Greetings!” Angel said, “YOU– uh… hm. Whatever!” Devil groans. “We shall assist you!” Angel said. “Yeah, yeah, MAKE SURE WE GET CREDITS!” Devil demanded. “YAY!! Let’s go!” Sunny rushed into The Tightrope section, meanwhile, Mime had met up with…
“YAY!!” Paperplates exclaims, seeing Mime. “RAHHHH!!!” Mime grabbed onto Paperplates, now flying with her.
Sunny now grabbed onto Angel, who also flew him across. As Sunny finished Tightrope, David and Cuby finished Crossing the Pit, meeting with Lightning and Flower, who Cuby ignored to pick David up. “Huh? Wait, but I’m—” Flower got pushed away, as he followed the two, alongside Lightning who helped him. “You have to like, work with us! Why are you helping each other??” Lightning asks, only to get David thrown at her by Cuby, who now crossed The Tightrope with him.
Sunny and Mime were still insync, quickly finishing the Free Draw section.
Cuby decided to stop and quickly paint, while David began to sew. Though Lightning insisted he hurry up, Cuby ignored her just before finishing his painting and moving on.
Sunny and Mime now got stuck on Questions Answered, with The Colon Duo and Comedy giving them hints. “...this is easy! It's the one you were on…!”
“...err… TEAM FUN!” Sunny finished the first… of three questions. Cuby rushed in and quickly finished all 3, now getting a running start.
“Aren't you gonna hurry up?” Flower asked David, who shook his head. “...oh… okay.” Flower now sat besides him as he began to continue to sew.
Cuby now shot around in the laser arena, getting a pass to go ahead after eliminating all 20 standees. Eventually, Sunny and Mime followed close behind him, they, too, began shooting at all 20 standees, Pink and Green paint flying everywhere.
Despite Sunny and Mime getting right behind him, Cuby remained a step ahead, he now grabbed onto Lightning, who groaned– “FINALLY!” and flew up and over Mount. Frigid, into the next challenge.
David Stix finally finished his The Gourd plush and placed it onto the scanner, allowing him to pass into Questions Answered.
All the while, Sunny now reached the summit of Mount Frigid by hiking up it, he looked around and wondered where Mime and Paperplates were, before realizing they had already begun snowboarding down the mountain, to which Sunny giggled and said– “I’m coming for you, Mimester! Weeee!”, being flown down by Angel.
Flower now gave David the clues to Questions Answered— “so, you—” BZZZTT!! David already figured it all out. “...huh.” Flower said, slightly surprised, now moving on with him.
As Mime now slew into the sword-fighting contest, Paperplates had to air over the arena. “Alright, I’ll slay you, prep!” Money Bag said, now raising his sword before being thrown into the waters. Cuby, however, was genuinely having issues fighting against Hot Chocolate, so when he saw Mime and Sunny getting ahead, he began to panic. “FOCUS! You’ll win this!” Hot Chocolate told him, he nodded and pushed her, too, into the water. Now running off towards Sunny and Mime.
Sunny had already finished his dance, meanwhile, Mime still had struggles with his. Cuby looked around the ballroom, now spotting GyroGyro, before groaning, realizing what choreo Star and Heart had made.
David now slew into the sword-fighting area, and began to fight Ramen, who he immediately tried to spare. “Oh.. thanks, but I gotta go down.” Ramen explained. David sighed, now pushing her off. “It’s okay! ..you tried.” Flower told David, who felt just slightly better now. David now walked into the ballroom, where he danced across the floor, leaving Cuby and Mime behind as he got into the next challenge.
As Sunny got a pass, Comedy was judging the Comedy Show. “Fitting, isn't it?” He chuckled to David. “Me and the other spectators are watching, so entertain us!” He now smiled, revealing the entire cast behind him. David immediately froze up, and started sweating, only to get covered by Flower blurting— “ACK! WEED!” towards a weed he had spotted, causing a combustion of laughs that allowed David to pass. Following them were Mime, who got many laughs out of his strange contortions, and Cuby, who had to get Lightning to tell a storytime off of Twitter to get a pass.
This was followed by a rather abrupt judge of Tragedy for the tear-jerking challenge, with him uncontrollably sobbing and telling them “JUST GO! I’M SORRY! I’M SAD!!”, it ended up getting The Finalists into a four-way-tie as they reached the Team Merge Era Challenges.
“FINALISTS! CONGRATS ON MAKING IT THIS FAR! HERE ARE YOUR NEXT ASSISTANTS!” The Gourd now appeared, opening a gate to the enlonged and enlarged Audience Row from the theatre of Episodes 9 and 10. When he did so, Starry replaced The Colon Duo, Cloudy replaced Paperplates, Heart replaced Lightning, and Hangman replaced Flower. “HAVE A QUICK BREAK TO GET TO KNOW YOUR ASSISTANTS!” He said.
“...ugh, I have to help silent boy?” Heart said, to which Cuby eyerolled. “...I’m learning to forgive you.” Cloudy tells Mime, who says; “YEAH… SORRY…”
“It’s been far too long…” Starry hugs Sunny, who hugs her tightly. Hangman, meanwhile, looked David up and down and said– “...fine. Whatever.”
“AND GO!” The Gourd snapped his fingers, causing a rush. Hangman and David quickly sped across The Haunted House, with Sunny and Starry, alongside Mime and Cloudy quickly following suit. “Do.. do I have to go into that FILTHY house…?!” Heart asked Cuby, who pinched his eyes. Cuby now picked Heart up, who screamed as he ran across with her through the haunted house.
David now looked at Hangman, wanting to ride him for The Umbrella challenge. “...what?” Hangman asked. “...oh, yeah. Sure.” David now seemed happy, and went to try and grab onto Hangman, but instead slipped and landed bridal style, though Hangman was indifferent to it, David now began questioning himself as he and Hangman went across the canyon. “Alright, c’mon.” Hangman said, snapping David out of it.
Cloudy and Mime followed suit in David’s steps, with Mime flying across the canyon on Cloudy before running off with her. Sunny and Starry also came after them, but byt did the challenge as intended, both using an umbrella to cross the canyon.
Finally, Heart whined and said— “I never had to do this! Carry me, silent!” to which Cuby gripped Heart’s Wrist and carried her across the canyon as she screamed— “WHAT ARE YOU DOING? OHMYGOD, PULL ME UP! YOU FUCKTARD! IHNYGODOHMYGOD!! WHY??” just as they wre landing on the other side, she lightly smacked Cuby’s arm and walked away.
Triangula and Star, covered in Light Blue Paint, were at the next challenge, which was to figure the fake was. Sunny and Starry, alongside Hangman and David, had common sense and thus finished around the same time. Mime and Cloudy landed however, and Mime immediately pointed at Star. “...Mime… HOW.” Triangula asks. “I don’t mean to be rude, I really don’t, but I am a TRIANGLE. THAT IS A STAR!” Triangula yells. “STAR?! OHMYGOD!!” Heart now rushed in, “HEART!! WANNA MAKE OUT.” Star now excitedly says. “OHMYGOD, YES.”,the two began passionately, and loudly, making out infront of the others. “Oh, ew. Uh… you guys can go, I’m gonna go with Cuby, I guess.” Triangula says. “Do they ALWAYS do that?” Cloudy asks her. “...whenever they see each other, they usually do THAT first, but usually then they act like normal people.” Triangula tells Cloudy. “Huh…” She looked back and immediately looked away upon seeing Heart giving Star something not to be shown on TV.
“Pick your poison.” Lunartic says, standing next to Moony as Hangman and David arrive. Hangman sinisterly chuckles and STABS a flag into Lunartic. “OW! BITCH!” He snarls, tied up. “..thank god we tied him up on the moon, huh?” Starry tells Moony. “..indeed. We’re still not out yet though, let’s talk later.” Starry nodded, placing a flag into Moony lightly. Mime and Cloudy, alongside Cuby and Triangula both came afterwards, and all four sinisterly smiled at each other. “...what are you guys planning? MOONY, MOONY WHERE ARE YOU GOING??” Lunartic panics as Moony leaves with Starry and Sunny. “MOONY?? WHAT— WHAT. WHAT–” They raise their flags, leaving a haunting scream throughout the area.
David and Hangman make it to the airplanes, where Hangman carries David bridal style again. During this period, David slips something into Hangman’s hand, blushing lightly as they pass the vat of acid. “DAVID! CONGRATS ON BEING THE FIRST HERE!” The Gourd says, David quickly pecks Hangman and hides behind The Gourd. “...AND FOR DISCOVERING SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF, I GUESS??” The Gourd seems utterly confused, but hears David. “OH! HANGMAN! Check your pocket!” The Gourd translates. Hangman, still a bit shocked from the peck, checks his pocket. “Caaall me later??” Hangman looks at David. “...yeah.. sure.” Hangman considers it, switching out now.
Sunny and Starry, alongside Moony, follow suit and gently fly across the gap of land, before swinging across the vat of acid and making it to the line. “SUNNY!! YOU’VE MADE IT ASWELL!” The Gourd now tilts his head. “with Moony too…? OH WELL!! MOONY AND STARRY!” He opens the gates to the audience’s seats. “Swap with Question Mark!” Question Mark now walks out of the stadium. “...I’ll keep your promise.” she tells Moony. “...LET’S GOOO!!” Sunny says, hyped. “anddd hold on while I make some adjustments…” The Gourd says, switching something out. “Oh! David! You’ll be paired with someone NOT on the show, since we haven’t any other contestants who’d want to work with you, R0BUDDY!!” The Gourd now snaps, summoning a Robot. “HELLO! I AM R0BUDDY! HERE TO HELP.” It says. “SO COOOOOL!!” Sunny’s eyes twinkle. “Mime and Cuby! Finally here! …where’s Heart and…? Oh well, CLOUDY! TRIANGULA!” He snaps his fingers, switching them out.
“...here we are.” Phantom tells Mime, who begins to slightly sob. “...here we are!” House tells Cuby, who nods, determined.
“POST MERGE CHALLENGES! GO!” The Gourd snaps his fingers, beginning the next section of the contest. 4 limousines now appear and take each of the contestants, and their assistants away to a Fancy Restaurant.
“Let’s see, let’s see…” Sunny now looks, spotting Exclamation Mark. “..hi!” he waves to Sunny, who realizes— “OH! THIS IS THE DATE CHALLENGE! HAVE FUNNN!!” He tells Question Mark. Mime arrives with Phantom, looks around, and spots Comedy and Tragedy. “..HUH??” He looks at the table. “OH! CAN I GET YOU GUYS ANYTHING??” Comedy and Tragedy begin ordering from Mime, meanwhile, Cuby looks for House’s date, and spots Penta. He now begins to open and order for the two. Finally, R0BUDDY leads David to a table. “TEEHEE!! WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO ORDER, NEWLY, WEDS? WINK. WINK.” David was confused, until he saw Hangman and began to flush and steam.
After nearly an hour later, the dates began to end. Comedy and Tragedy were the first couple to go, allowing for Mime and Phantom to go ahead. Sunny reclaimed Question Mark shortly afterwards, and House and Penta left on their own, David, however, took the longest.
“I KNOW IT’S NICE, BUT DON’T YOU WANNA WIN?” David now looked at R0BUDDY, snapping out of his flustered state, and shook his head, pointing at Hangman. “OH. HUH.” Hangman now got up and sighed. “David, you deserve the win. Listen, we can talk AFTER the contest, okay?” David now stared sadly at Hangman. “...I promise to call you.” He says, now letting David get up and move along.
R0BUDDY now gave everyone a camera as they walked out into The Whispering Woods, before extending his arm to grab Daisy in from the stands as the ghost. “.. !!” Daisy was alerted and then flashed by the cameras.
Mime immediately took a photo of her and moved on, followed by Cuby, who did the same. Question Mark, being considerate, however, asked Daisy; “Are you okay?” Sunny nodded, lending a hand to her. “I'm alright..” She said, grabbing onto Sunny’s hand. “Can we take a photo of you, Ms. Pretty??” Sunny says. “Sure, go ahead.” She said politely. Question Mark took a photo, then said; “Thanks!” before walking off. R0BUDDY stared at David, confused. “WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?? TAKE A PICTURE OF THE DEAD GIRL.” He said. “...DAISY, WAS IT? HOW DO YOU GET SOMEONE TO STOP BEING GAY. DAVID WON’T STOP LOOKING AT PHOTOS HE TOOK WITH HANGMAN.” R0BUDDY asked. “Hm.. David is it..?” She asked politely. David nodded, tilting his head. “It’s nice to meet you, but I know.. It’s hard to leave someone you love behind, but remember what he said to you?” David now thought about it… and began fantasizing. “...YEAH, HIS LOVER ISN’T DEAD. HE’S JUST EXPERIENCING LOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME.” R0BUDDY said, coming off almost harshly. “Love takes a lot of time and care, but I'm sure your lover wants you to win and all, they’re probably cheering you on.” She said, David nodded, and walked away. “TAKE A PIC— OHMYGOODNESS.” R0BUDDY walked away from Daisy now. Daisy just looked around as they walked away.
Following that contest, Sunny messed up a few times, but eventually got through The Obstacle Course of Certain Death. Mime followed swiftly after, with Cuby getting only a note from House. “BUSY WITH PENTA, WILL BE IN STANDS!!” Cuby eyerolled and crumbled the note, now swiftly racing across the course with Mime and David. The three re-entered The Whispering Woods, met by Penta who said; “Yeah, the challenge is to capture me, or something.” He shrugs. “...actually, I think it's me, Period, Daisy and Lunartic to capture so—” Cuby immediately took a photo of Penta and walked off. “Alright, I guess.” He shrugged. David now used R0BUDDY to flash Daisy again, and walked off too. Mime now turned into Exclamation Mark and called out— “PARKER!! PARKERRR!!”, luring Period out who said— “What?”, only to be flashed by Mime. “OH, DAMN IT!!” Period ran back to the stands, Sunny now made it, to which Penta chuckled. “Oh, you’re gonna love this!” He now grabbed Lunartic, flags still impaled into him, and showed him to Sunny, who flashed him, causing him to be in a state of shock. “YAAAAYYY!!”
The finalists now made it to the final stretch– the Miliflower challenge. Cuby and Mime already had more than enough Miliflowers, leaving just Sunny to grow atleast a Million Miliflowers. David began growing Miliflowers too, but picked some of them to use in a bouquet for Hangman.
“FINALISTS! THIS! IS! THE! FINAL! CHALLENGE!” The Gourd said, now removing all assistants. “GOODBYE.” R0BUDDY said, now closing into an idle mode, “THANKS QUINN!!!” Sunny waved to Question Mark, as she walked away. “So far, Cuby has been the first here TWICE, David has been the first here ONCE, Mime’s been here TWICE, and Sunny’s been here ONCE. Mime and Cuby, you two seem like winners. BUT THESE LAST 3 CHALLENGES WILL DETERMINE THAT!” The Gourd says.
David now comes to the gates, and talks to Hangman, getting distracted as The Gourd says “GO!”
The first new challenge is a puzzle. Mime and Sunny solved it easily, but trying all he might, Cuby was unable to solve it.
Mime and Sunny, now as the final two, begin to work as the final challenge is a maze. Mime and Sunny nod, parting ways as they try to figure a way out. Quickly, however, Sunny learns through a sign what this really is. “LADY BLUE LABYRINTH..? …wait! That means..” Sunny now retraces, quickly using a process of elimination method. As he finds the exit, Mime is CLOSE behind.
The final thing stopping either Mime or Sunny from winning is a 5 foot run, swiftly, and under stress, Mime grabs for Sunny as his limbs begin to melt and elongate, just before…
That sound of “glowiness” means a winner has been announced.
“AUDIENCE! Here are the rankings.” The Gourd reveals. “David Stix placed 4th. He did NOT make it through the puzzle, sorry Hangman.” The Gourd nods. “...oh well, he tried.” Hangman shrugged.
“Following them.. Cuby. He JUST made it past the Puzzle when the winner got our trophy.” The Gourd now looked into the crowd, cringing at Lightning laughing about Cuby losing, alongside Star and Heart laughing about it too. “Let me remind you, Cuby got 3rd. Much better than ANY of you.” The Gourd snarls. “...yeah, he still failed.” Heart chuckles.
“OUR WINNER, HOWEVER. IS.” The Gourd now reveals…
Someone’s hand just barely got the trophy, said hand was wonky, meaning…
“SUNNY HAS WON!” The Gourd announced, now coming over to Sunny and raising his arm. “Oh? OH! WOWEE! WOW!! WOWWOWOWOWOOWW!!” Sunny now excitedly stimmed due to the win. “WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Sunny said, fluttering his hands. “...SUNNY!” The Gourd said, causing him to slightly calm down. “SORRY! Just.. uhm, yeah? YEAH??” The Gourd now placed his hand on Sunny’s shoulder, looking into his deepest desire. “...you wish to return to Space?” The Gourd asks. “YEAHH!! :3” The Gourd nods. “...so be it.” He snaps his fingers, flinging everybody into space.
“WOWW!! GUYS!! WELCOME TO MY HOUSEEE!! XD” Sunny says. “...how erm… vast.” Heart says. “...how do we get down??” Triangula asks.
“Where’s House and Pen— ohmygod, they’re going to town again.” Phantom says. “ATLEAST WE HAVE EACH OTHER!!” Comedy says.
“...in a weird way, that's true. We have each other.” Moony says.
“...and I shall see you! ALL! SOMETIME! LATER!! THANK YOU ALL FOR PARTICIPATING! FAREWELL!” The Gourd now claps, returning to earth.
“...well, what now..?” Flower says. “I'm not sure.. I'm going to visit the graveyard.” Daisy said. “Why? Was Margatha important to you?” Period asks. “...yeah… how.. long DID you know Margatha?” Question Mark asks. “Nono.. it’s about.. Golden Rose’s condition,” She said worriedly. “...is he terminally ill?” Phantom asked, concerned. “From what I know— ever since he’s been visiting my gravestone.. He's been coughing a lot and.. I remember it being called.. Hanahaki Disease.” She said a bit shocked at the info. “...y’know, we lost people too.” Moony said, somberly. “...I… made a mistake, and I can’t go back and fix it, so…” Starry confessed. “At Least Lumos is still here… somewhere.” Star said. “I wanted Golden Rose to take care of himself.. or else.. he’d die with living with that Hanahaki Disease.” She said full of guilt. “...yeah.” Cloudy said, slowly descending to Earth.
The vastness of space remained as the cast began to slowly fall down to Earth’s Atmosphere, besides the space objects.

“This first season was a success.”
“Indeed it was!”
“I have decided. A second season shall begin production next year.”
“When? I’m so excited! Thank you!”
“July 14th, 2018. That is the day the season will air. I’m giving you until July 1st, 2018 to recruit contestants. Get a brand new cast.”
The Plains were silent for once in about 2 weeks. Birds chirped and sang, wind blew, and flowers laid motionless.
The Gourd had prepared a picnic table, and was in the process of preparing a Penultimate Dinner. He began to watch the others interact.
Question Mark monitored Mime and Sunny, while Cuby and David signed to each other, creating stories and ways of information sortion.
The Gourd rang a bell, hithering the Final 5. “Finals. I have prepared for you 5 a supper containing Steak, Chicken, Pork, and, if you're not into meats, Pies, Gummy Candies, and Lettuce.” He states. “...I will be back.” The Gourd now disappears, constructing a new building.
“GUMMIESSS!! :D” Sunny cheers, now going for the Gummy Sharks, sharing with Mime some Gummy Worms and Bears.
“...they’re having fun… that's wonderful.” Question Mark told Cuby and David. David would sign, leading to Cuby adding onto it. “...well yes, but they're just that. Kids. They find joy in the most simple of things.” She says, looking at the children. “...besides, whatever our next challenge is will determine that one of us is cut short of a victory.” She stated. Cuby and David looked at each other, and nodded before sitting at The Picnic Table.
After a few moments of rest and energy, The Gourd returned.
“We’re in the final stretch… don't mess up now.” He said, now encouraging the final 5.
He snapped his fingers, summoning all 6 of them to A Greenhouse, then gave them 10 packets of seeds.
“These are Miliflower seeds. Before Question Mark asks, Miliflower seeds are the seeds of a type of flower known as a Miliflower.” He says. “Miliflowers are named for their incredibly short lifespan and reproduction cycle. When a Miliflower is planted, it blooms into a medium-large flower that quickly releases spores, pollen and seeds, then sits until being destroyed. They come in a variety of colors but always have around 4 - 10 petals, no more, no less, than JUST that.” He states. “...your goal will be to plant as many Miliflowers as possible. The person with the LEAST miliflowers will be our 5th Placer, and our final eliminated contestant.” He states. “Do you have any questions?”
Cuby, David, Mime, Question Mark and Sunny all stand and stare. This is it. This… will determine everything.
“...then it is my pleasure… that I announce that after this, The Finale shall happen, and the four who make it shall be tested one last time.” He now finishes his speech. “LET THE PENULTIMATE CHALLENGE BEGIN!” He claps.
Mime immediately tore open its bag, spilling the Miliflower seeds all over his mound. David and Cuby did the same, but were much more cautious, pushing Miliflower seeds back onto each other's mounds.
Question Mark carefully planted each and every Miliflower with much care, eventually creating a canvas.
She looked over, however, and began realizing Sunny’s Flowers were burning— he had been too excited to realize the intense sunlight coming off of him had begun to burn the flowers.
She looked around as she planted the last seed.
Cuby had 7.1 Million Flowers, David had 9.5 Million Flowers, Mime had 7.8 Million, she had 10 Million flowers, but Sunny only had… 1.5 Million Flowers, and dropping. Question Mark looked over dreadfully and considered her options.
…she had made a promise. She knew what it was, and she had promised it.
She heard her in her head as the clock struck 30 seconds to finalization.
“Promise me you’ll protect him.” Moony had asked Question Mark just before her elimination. “Promise me that he’ll make it, just like I said.”
Question Mark now grabbed Sunny’s Hand gently, with only 10 seconds on the clock to do what she needed to do. “What are you doing??” Sunny asked Question Mark. 5 seconds remained as she replied— “I’m keeping a promise.” She replied.
0. The clock had now struck 0. The flowers now pulsated a pastel baby blue as The Gourd froze their current states. “The 30 Minutes is up. Let's see what has been done.” He said. “...” He sighs, deeply inhaling. “...I will now pass by each garden, and count the flowers to the best of my ability.”
The Gourd now summoned a root system to be underneath the mounds of soil that the Miliflowers were planted upon, screens hanging above all of the gardens began to tick upwards.
“Question Mark, why did you…?” Sunny asked, getting cut off. “...you’ll see, again, I’m keeping a promise, Sunny.” Question Mark stated. “...what… IS the promise you’re keeping?” Sunny asked.
“Results are in! The first person who will ABSOLUTELY go to the finale is…” He now unveiled the highest score. “Sunny, with 15 million Miliflowers.” He said. “...I… I won! Wowee! :D Question Mark, we’re going to Final 4!” Sunny excitedly exclaimed. “...don't be sure, buddy.” Question Mark said, confusing Sunny.
“The next person going to The Finale… is David Stix! With and astounding 10 million miliflowers!” The Gourd annouced, leading to David high-fiving Cuby. “and thanks to David, Cuby’s going with him! Cuby, you got 8 million miliflowers!” Cuby now jumped and did a backflip, before rolling on one of corners and kneeling over in pain.
“Eesh… but the final person going to The Finals…” The Gourd said, now unveiling the lowest scores. “is…” The Gourd slowly unveiled the screens as Sunny began to drop his smile, seeing the results. “MIME! WITH 6 MILLION MILIFLOWERS!” The Gourd annouced triamphuntly.
“...wait.. but that means…” Sunny somberly said.
“THE MASQUERADE w INS, YEAAAHHHH!!” Mime scream-gurgled. “...but it also means…” Sunny replied to Mime, looking over at Question Mark.
“I ran a good game, Sunny.” She said. “but even I couldn't hold up, and unfortunately, this is just where I get off.” Question Mark says. “...but… you said to keep pushing, no matter what… that even when things get tough, you gotta keep going…” he said. “...well… I did say that. So I suppose I lied about my reason.” She sighed. “...if anything, remember that promise I said I’d keep?” Question Mark said.
“...yeah..! …what was it?” Sunny asked. “...Moony told me to keep you safe, no matter what. She never told me to sacrifice my spot in the game for you, but…” she nodded. “...I made sure YOU got to The Finales, just like you wanted.” She smiles. “Go get them tiger.” She pats Sunny’s shoulder.
“QUESTION MARK! With just 750,000 Miliflowers, YOU are the 5th placer.” The Gourd states.
“...and I’m ready.” Question Mark sighs as she is turned into a piece of paper with a question mark on it. “YOU 4! YOU ARE THE FINALISTS!” The Gourd excitedly announced, giggling while running in place. “GET REST! GET REST! I wanna make sure the finale is PERFECT!!” He now sent the four on their way, as the sun loomed over The Plains one last time.

“...QUINN!” Exclaimation Mark, well, exclaimed. “...I’m so sorry you didn't make it.” He sighed. “..you fought a good battle.” Moony told her. “...wait, if mom’s here, where’s House?” Period now realized. “House quit the show, he ran away to be with Penta.” Question Mark said. “...Sunny’s made it.” Moony softly gasps. “...I’m so glad for him…!” Question Mark nodded. “This is sweet, but can we go to Space now?” Period says. “...ofcourse!” Question Mark says, taking The Shooting Star from Exclamation Mark. “...honors?” She gave it to Moony. “...I wish to go to The Moon.” The Shooting Star now disintegrates into dust, forming a portal to The Moon, leaving The Inbetween empty.
Sunny still felt bad about Moony, so Cuby stayed with him as he napped with his plush dog.
Question Mark now spoke to Mime— “..Final 6. We’re in the stretch.” She said. “IN DEED! IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, WE’LL REACH THE FINAL 4, AND THE FINALE WILL OCCUR!” It said. “Really? That's weird. Most Finals take place with JUST 3 people, so…” Question Mark sighed. “then again, most shows let the viewers vote and such.” She shrugged. “Y EAH!” Mime agreed.
All the while, House was talking to David. “I just… god, I really miss him.” He sighed, speaking about Penta. “He left an hour ago, sure, but I still really miss him.” David now signed to him. “...I get it, but…” he sighs deeply.
Cuby signs with David, signaling him to go over to Sunny. House then walks to Mime.
“Hey Mime, how did you deal with losing Phantom?” He asked. “HUH? OH, HONESTLY, I JUST TRIED TO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE FACT MY FATHER FIGURE HAD BEEN ELIMINATED! IT USUAL Ly WoRKS !” It exclaimed. “and when it doesn’t?” Question Mark points out. “... i don’T wanna talk about that.” Mime says. “HoW IS SUNNY?” He asks Cuby. Cuby signed to him. “OHH.. HE’LL CHEER UP SOON! WATCH!”
David helped Sunny as he woke up, giving his plush dog a flower. “..huhhh..? ..ohh.. yaaayyy!! Flowersss!! :-)” he said.
“CONTESTANTS! CHALLENGE TIME. EMERGENCY, TOO.” He claps.
“I’ve just realized Penta is NOT where he's meant to be, therefore, he's been INTERFERING with the games!” The Gourd stated. “Usually, I don't mind a contestant not being truly ELIMINATED, but I cannot STAND the thought of him being on the show premises!” The Gourd stated. “Your challenge today is to GET THAT MAN TO ME!”
“...and if we don’t—?” House said, getting cut off by a “JUST GO!”
The Gourd now summoned into The Whispering Woods.
“...right, I’ll go with House.” Question Mark said. Cuby and David went together, leaving Sunny, who enthusiastically said to Mime— “Let’s say Hi to Penta! ^v^”, skipping into the forest.
Mime told Sunny— “You’ll give away our location, you know that, right?” as Lunartic. “Never become Loon- Lunnn… Lunartic! LUNARTIC! Ever again! >:(“ Sunny told Mime off. Mime then silently mumbled an apology.
Cuby and David, meanwhile, were looking for Penta, but frequently got distracted by things like berries and animals. Cuby gave David a blue songbird, he then stood to listen, meanwhile, House and Question Mark already found Penta.
“Oh great, here to capture me?” He said, sarcasm dripping from his voice. “...actually, I wanted to say; Thanks. For last episode.” Question Mark said. “...aren't you gonna do the challenge?” Penta asked. “N AH MAN, YOU’LL BE GOOD! ME AND SUNNY SAY HI, TOO!” Mime spoke. “Helloooo!!” Sunny waved. Cuby and David also approached Penta, but signed for “THANK YOU.”
“..this is all very sweet, but if nobody is safe, who is being eliminated?” Penta asked. “...I wish to quit with you.” House said. “...House, you don't—” House stopped Penta. “No. This is what I want.” He sighed. “...Cuby, David, Mime, Question Mark, and Sunny?” House said. “...go back. Tell The Gourd what I have done.” House said. “...Penta? …let’s go. Bid aideu!” House waved at the others as he walked into the forest with Penta. “...bye bye! :-)” Sunny waved at him. “...I’ll miss you! ^^” he added. “...love is a powerful weapon, isn't it…?” Question Mark says. “...it really is!” Mime says, shifted as Heart. “...well, I suppose it is our time to go, too.” It notes. Cuby, David? Could you—
Cuby was already on it, as David tried to speak, he replicated himself, making a version of himself that has a bell for a voice, which rang loudly until The Gourd teleported them back.
“YOU CAUGHT HIM?!” The Gourd excitedly says.
“No.” Mime said, back to its normal form.
“...NONE OF YOU EVEN TRIED??” The Gourd said, despaired.
“Actually, we just don't want to.” Question Mark shrugged.
Cuby signed something, David added onto it. Resulting in The Gourd replying; “WELL, YOU’RE ALL— …where’s House?”
“He quit the show! Rule 4, remember?” Sunny says. The Gourd groans, before shaking his head and summoning a sofa. “I… I need a break. Y’know what… I suppose that makes YOU the Final 5.” The Gourd now chuckles as he sits up. “WHICH IS ONE EPISODE AWAY FROM A FINALE!!” He excitedly squeals. “ALRIGHT! CONTESTANTS! Get some rest! Sleep, eat, drink, WHATEVER! Just be prepared for our PENULTIMATE challenge!”

FIN.
“So.. what IS your story?” Penta asked. “..oh, it's… not interesting. I was a House built in 1983, and, well, slowly, I grew up and… people began living in me. I would become an inanimate object, and let people live inside me. Eventually, since nobody had come in a while, I let myself go out.” He said. “...that's pretty interesting, I would say.” Penta replied. “..you're much more interesting!” House said. “..oh, stop it.”
Sunny played with some toys as Cuby watched over him. David began to sign to Cuby, to which Cuby signed back. Through this, Sunny tried signing too and barely understood. “You think we could bring him with us?” David signed. “誰が？” Cuby signed. “Sunny, do you think we could bring Sunny with us to the finals?!” David signed. “なぜ？” Cuby signed. “Because he’s so silly! C’monn, please??” He asked, signing. “Just look at him!” He pointed after signing.
“Hello! もしもし！” Sunny signed, using both ASL and JSL, learning from David and Cuby. “AWWWWWW, LOOK AT HIMMM!!!” David signed, energetically. “...fine.” Cuby signed, using ASL. “YAY!!” David signed. Sunny then tried signing again, but it was broken and came out to “Orange give Orange yes?”, before he realized what he meant and signed “I love you. 愛してます!” in both languages.
Meanwhile, Moony, Question Mark and House were all sitting together in a therapy bubble.
“...so. We’ve lost many people.” Moony said. “First Star, then Starry… maybe not so much Lunartic, but still.” House nodded. “and I was doing so well… until Penta got… y’know?” He sighed. “I already miss him.” Question Mark now stood up. “Hey! Let’s not get sad! Listen, Exclamation Mark and Period may be waiting for me, Starry might be waiting for Moony, and Penta is most definitely waiting for House, but we can’t let their sacrifices drag us down! We’re SO CLOSE!” She exclaimed. “Besides, Penta never went to THE INBETWEEN, is that right?” She said, “Correct! I’m still here, by the by.” Penta said. “PENTAAAA!!” House went to try and hug him, and wrapped his arms around where Penta would physically be. “Ah. Nice to see you again, House.” Penta said.
“That's adorable… wait, you two are a couple?” Question Mark now asked. “...well, I may be dead, but the dead can still become infatuated with the living, y’know.” Penta shrugged. “Huh… y’know, I think I knew you two would always be like that. With you being so interconnected and all…” Moony said. “..why thank you.” Penta said, now scruffing House’s roof.
“OOOOhhHhHhH!! I’M TELLING THE GOURD! >:)” Mime said, spotting Penta, who immediately grabbed him. “Firstly, I already live here. Secondly, It would fail. I already escaped THE INBETWEEN, many, many years ago, and I’m overruled by a deep anger towards the family that cut my phone lines before my death so I couldn't call for 911, even though they broke in and robbed me after I had died.” He now glared at Mime. “and thirdly, I’m going to HELP you.” He says. “All of you, actually. I have seen Today’s Challenge, and it will become increasingly impossible, so if you want to STAY in the show, WORK with me.” Mime now thought, looking at Cuby and David, still with Sunny, who now told Mime; “C’mon Mimester! <D”
…with that, Mime agreed to the plan, just as Penta went invisible.
“FINAL 7!” The Gourd clapped his hands, summoning the contestants. “Today’s Contest is VERY special, it will be the most HARDEST, BONE-BREAKING, HEARTATTACK INDUCING CHALLENGE YET!” He now unveiled the challenge, which was being held up by numerous steel beams. “THE! OBSTACLE COURSE! OF! CERTAIN DEATH!” He unveiled a seemingly innocent Obstacle Course. “UNTIL ONLY 3 OF YOU REMAIN, THE CHALLENGE WILL GO ON!” The Gourd cackles. “Now.. go.” He snapped his fingers, summoning the 7.
“Listen, when it gets tough, I’ll carry you over the obstacles.” Penta told everyone. “I’ll reappear in 10 Minutes.” He said, as the Course Track activated, forcing everyone to get moving.
“This doesn't seem so bad! Hup!” Sunny told David. David nodded, and helped Cuby duck. Meanwhile, Question Mark was struggling. “ACK! NO!! EESH!” She yelped, avoiding the course. “My goodness! This is difficult!” She told House. “..House?” She looked around for House. “...what's this..?” She swiftly grabbed a sticky note.
“Out with Penta, be back I swear…?” She seemed confused, then realized. “...OH. What a fun time for him!” She jumped.
After 10 Minutes, the tracks were speeding up, Penta returned with House, who was utterly flustered, and began to carry everyone over.
“Wee!” went Sunny, “HOW AM I NOT DEAD?!” screamed Question Mark, “THaAAAaAAAaAnKs!” Mime gurgled. “...” Cuby, David, and Moony were silent, though Moony did thank Penta as he dropped her, and House went— “Heheheheeee… heeeee ^///^” when being carried by Penta.
The process repeated until…
“20 MINUTES ARE UP!” The Gourd said. “...and there's 7 of you… SUDDEN DEATH!” He said, as the Course now went backwards and repeated itself. Penta desperately tried to carry everyone over, but eventually…
“ACK!” Moony was flung off by a ball.
“MOONY! YOU! ARE! OUR! 7TH PLACER!” The Gourd said. “Say your goodbyes, meet me at the Elimination Ceremony!”
Moony stared as Penta came down to profusely apologize “I am… deeply sorry, I… caused all this trouble for you and—” Moony now stopped him. “No… it’s my time.” She stated. “..you’re leaving? :-(“ Sunny said. “...like Starry?” Moony kneeled to Sunny. “...listen, Sunny… you're far ahead of me.” She chuckled. “You might even be the better Moony… sigh. You've got this in the bag, sweetie.” She pats him. “Go on.” Moony now walked to the Ceremony.
“I’m ready to go.” Moony said. “...M-mom? I.. I uhm.. I..” Sunny tried to stop her, but Moony remembered something. “Sunny… remember him?” She pulled out a plush of a yellow dog. “...y-yeah… we found him in The Junkyard and… he was my best friend…” he said. “...remember me.” Moony said, giving Sunny the plush dog. “...I.. I will.” Sunny said, tearing up.
“..now, as a space object, you will simply disappear, so.. goodbye, Moony!” The Gourd snapped his fingers, sending her to THE INBETWEEN. “..now, I will see you all… next time.” The Gourd said, turning the Torches out.
END.

FIN.
“Halt!” Starry calls out. “Who goes?” She asked. “..I am Moony. This is Lunartic. We are… moons.” She explained. “...a moon?” Starry said. “...yes. We orbit planets and watch over them, gently caressing their oceans… but we haven't a planet, so here we are. Deciding to orbit.. your people.” She said, “...have some Moondust, it’s on us.” She nodded. “...alright… be careful, we have young ones.” Starry said, allowing Moony to pass.
Cuby and David Stix, now having lost GyroGyro, began looking for new allies. They eventually spotted Mime and House and immediately ran up to House after retrieving Mime.
“JO IN US. =)” Mime says. “...no?” Mine now warps its legs to be towering over House. “J O I N U S .”
“JESUS FUCKING CHRIST OKAY!” House panics. “...can Penta Join.” He asks, Mime now discusses with Cuby and David, before turning tl House and stating… “...your pathetic boyfriend may JOIN our allegiance!” Mime says. “..not my boyfriend, BUT!” House now pauses. “Alright.” He agrees.
Meanwhile, Sunny watched with Penta as this occurred, and asked; “You’re a ghost, right?” He said. “Why yes, yes I am.” Sunny now tilted his head. “How long ago did you die..? and… how?” He asked, softly. “I died by poison, unfortunately.” He shrugged. “Oh no… who would—” Sunny was now cut off. “Oh, oh nononono! Sunny, sunny! I wasn't MURDERED! …it was myself! …by accident, really. I accidentally spilled about 35 grams of Arsenic into a cup of tea after spotting a rat. Ironically, both the rat and I died of the poison, so it must work well! As for how long ago… give or take, I died in 1932 on this very island, actually!” He states. “Woooaahh.. you live here?! :D” Sunny asks, excited now. “Can we see your house?? It must be really cool and—” Penta pats Sunny. “Maybe another time, we are still in competition, after all!” Sunny sighed, before now asking… “Are you and House… like uhm.. Venus and Jupiter?” He says. “...who?” Penta tilts his head. “Venus and Jupiter!! They were my friends, and uhhmm.. Venus really liked Jupiter…!” Sunny says. “Oh! …in a sense then, yes… but I must ask, where are they now?” Penta asks. “Dead!” Sunny cheers. “...i miss them sometimes.” He sighs.
“How interesting…” Penta says, before hearing Moony call for him. “Oh! Time to go!” Penta waves Sunny goodbye as Question Mark and Cuby go to watch over him. Meanwhile, David Stix and Mime are still terrorizing House.
“..okay, so, you LIKE Penta?? He’s a GHOST!” Mime exclaimed as Heart. “I mean, I’m not one to judge, I’m a shapeshifting monster, but STILL! THAT IS A GHOST!” It exclaims. “I know, but I really love him!” House states back. “Is it such a crime? Perhaps I can revive him! He was 35 when he died, anyhow…” House said. “..that does bring up a question. How did Penta NOT come back? If The Gourd has been in existence for milenia now, wouldn't he revive everyone?” Mime said. “To be fair, when we started, nobody knew each other besides some obvious groups, like Sunny, Star, Starry, Lunartic and Moony— or Question Mark, Period, Exclamation Mark, and The Colon Duo..!” House noted. David sighed, resulting in Mime saying— “Oh no! The talk of eliminated contestants is making David sad!” Mime exclaimed.
“Let’s talk about something else then! Uhm… oh! The Gourd–” The Gourd now appeared behind House.
“Perfect timing!” The Gourd exclaimed as House creaked. “CONTESTANTS! HITHER!” He clapped his hands, returning Mime to normal, and teleporting everyone to him. “Contestants! Today’s challenge is simple! Nearby Mount. Frigid is the Whispering Woods, a forest that may very well be haunted!” The Gourd sighs. “but, I couldn't find any actual ghosts, so… ANYWAYS! Inside the forest, you will find 4 eliminated contestants! When 4 people have retrieved a photo to me, I will announce the SAFE CONTESTANTS! The rest of you will be Up For Elimination!” The Gourd says.
“By Eliminated Contestants, you mean holograms, right?” Penta says. “..nope! I mean ACTUAL eliminated contestants that I brought back for the challenge, NOW GO!” He claps his hands.
All 8 of them now received a polaroid camera, alongside a flashlight. Cuby now went with David and Mime, while Sunny went with Moony and Question Mark, leaving Penta and House with themselves.
“This should be COMPLETELY EASY!” Mime says, wriggling its arms. “Oh? What's that Cuby?” He now reads Cuby’s Japanese Writing. “...good idea! Let’s meet up here!” Mime now pulled out a torch, and placed it, making a beacon for the group to return to.
Cuby began to wander the woods, and eventually encountered… “UGH! HUFF!!” Lightning. “SILENT BOY???” She says. “Ugh, let me out!” She says. Cuby chuckled, before taking a photo. Lightning was now gone, and he was confused, and began going off track to investigate where she went.
Meanwhile, for Mime and David, they were simply looking around.
Mime thought it heard something, so it ran off and found… “Ah, Mime.” Phantom. “There you are… ahem. I… think we need to speak.” He says. “...I am not mad at you. As a matter of fact… I find myself proud of you.” He now reached his arm out to Mime, gently caressing his cheek. “You’re gonna make it to the finals, and I know it.” Mime paused. A slightly watery black liquid, almost like ink, begins to form. “...is something wrong..?” Mime then hugged Phantom, staining him black, and sobbed into him. “..It’s alright, y’know…” He caressed its head as it sobbed. “IT’ S NOT! I CAUSED YOUR ELIMINATION! I SHOULD’VE–” Phantom hushed it. “..it’s alright , what’s done is done, and besides… I simply passed the torch of leadership… to you!” He told it. Mime sniffled. “..what's the challenge now?” He asked Mime. “...we gotta take photos of the eliminated contestants… sniff… and show them to The Gourd?” It said. “...but… I-I’m scared.. I.. I want to keep you and—” Phantom chuckled. “That's quite the fascinating dilemma!” Phantom sighed. “...listen… you can take my photo.” He says. “...you’ll be safe.” Phantom pats Mime. “and remember what I told you back in Mount. Frigid?” He kneeled to Mime. “..y-you're a freak of nature, but you're my freak?” It remembers . “...exactly. Go get me, freak.” Phantom said. Mime now took a photo of Phantom, causing him to disappear, and sighed, before walking to David. “...just a squirrel. Let's go.” It wiped the black liquid from its eyes and trekked onwards.
Meanwhile, Moony and Sunny were also wandering, until spitting Cloudy, who opened with; “Berries!” and, subsequently, threw a basket of Blueberries at them. “...plucked them myself!” She said. “...yeah, nice to see you again, Cloudy. We kinda gotta take your picture though.. so.. sorry but—” Moony now raises her camera, before Cloudy yells out— “WAAAAAAIIIIITTT!!” Sunny gets Moony to drop the camera… “...So, we kinda escaped the place we were in.” Cloudy says. “...what?” Moony seems confused. “..wait, where WERE you guys?” Sunny asks. “Hangman and I met these people— Daisy and… I forgot her name, but she was a Raisin, anyways, Raisin explained to us that when you're eliminated or turned into an object, you go to THE INBETWEEN.” Cloudy says. “...THE INBETWEEN is a dimension between the land of the existing and non-existent, it is achieved immediately after dying or ceasing to exist and from there, you either accept your death and move onto a higher plane of existence, or go back to The Land of Existence by being unprepared and unwilling to die.” Moony says, memories in her eyes. “...Starry, Star and The Others knew… but… how did they—?” Cloudy now answered; “Starry and Star were never officially sent to THE INBETWEEN—” Moony added that “Stars and other Celestial Beings can freely go to and from THE INBETWEEN, so it's likely she simply warped out of it. However, Celestials cannot take things OUT of THE INBETWEEN, only in, so…?” Cloudy continued; “—so, they used SHOOTING STARS, by catching a SHOOTING STAR on its way through the void of space, they were able to wish to make a portal for THE INBETWEEN, and it worked as SHOOTING STARS will always make the wish of the user come true in some way, even if it is temporary.” She stated. “Essentially, she got us a way OUT of THE INBETWEEN, and IN to The Moon, where everyone's been hanging out, except for a few.” Sunny now asks— “Who’s the few?” Cloudy answered: “Exclamation Mark and Period are still in THE INBETWEEN, they have SHOOTING STARs too, they just have to wait for Question Mark, besides them, Lightning also stayed, she wanted to get away from Heart.” She stated. “...huh. Wait, how will you get back? or is he keeping you?” Cloudy now thinks. “According to The Gourd, once we are caught, we will be sent back to THE INBETWEEN, from there, Starry will likely get us back out again, since he never did seem to mind the fact he had to get me from The Moon.” She said, “...oh! For Question Mark, Period says they're rooting for her, and for YOU two, Starry says.. she loves you.” Cloudy nods. “Alright, take me out!” Cloudy now floats. “...thank you… for all of that.” Moony sighs. “You’ll be okay, right?” She says. “..perfectly fine! Go on!” Moony sighs and gets her photo. “...you can have it.” Sunny cheers, getting the photo.
“We’re running out of time— what should we do?!” House panicked. “House, I have something to confess.” House pauses. “What is it?”
Just then, Question Mark heard Exclamation Mark from the woods, and began to run towards him. “QUINN!!” He exclaimed as she came into view. “QUINN! It's been so long!” Question Mark stared at the camera she held, and paused. “...oh. You… need to—” Question Mark stopped him, and asked; “...who… who..” she couldn’t find her words, so Exclamation Mark sighed and answered— “It's me, Eric. I promise.” He says. “After I was eliminated, I got sent to a place called THE INBETWEEN, which I think is between HERE and THERE. As for where I’ve been, I’ve been in THE INBETWEEN, with Parker. We’re waiting for you.” He says. “...anyways, before you uhm… use the camera; I believe in you.” He says. “...I love you.” Question Mark said, raising the camera and looking away. “...love you too.” CLICK.
“TIME!” The Gourd announced. “CONTESTANTS! BRING ME YOUR PHOTOS!” He says, now clapping them back to him. Cuby turned in his photo of Lightning, and was announced safe. “Anyone else?” Sunny turned in his photo of Cloudy, and was, too, safe. Mime and Question Mark kept their photos, looking at them. “You have to turn it in to be safe~!” The Gourd says. “...C AN I HAVE IT BACK?” Mime says, “I suppose… yes.” The Gourd says, giving Mime the photo back. Question Mark kept hers, until The Gourd took it up. “andd Question Mark is safe! That means Penta, House, Moony and David are up for elimination—!”
Penta now cut him off with a “Not so fast.” The Gourd turned to him. “House is, by technicalities, safe too.” He said. “No, he is not. Does he have a photo?” House now turned in his photo of Penta. “...Penta, you are STILL a contestant.” The Gourd says. “...not anymore, no.” Penta said. “We will not NEED an elimination.” He now pulled out his icon. “I am choosing to LEAVE the show.”
“...hm…” The Gourd now summoned the list of rules and found the ELIMINATION RULES. “Rule Number 3 states that when an elimination is held, the eliminated contestant will get a chance at being saved by someone else stepping up and eliminating themselves.” The Gourd read. “Rule 4, however, states that an Elimination Ceremony is to be canceled in the event a contestant dies and moves on, or quits the show before the Official Ceremony. Therefore, my elimination is COMPLETELY fair.” He said. “House, keep things tidy around here, won’t you?” House stared as Penta threw his elimination icon into the air, and disappeared.
“...Penta…” The Gourd paused. “...was completely in the right. Rule Number 4 states a contestant or group of contestants are allowed to quit before the Ceremony, with the consequence of the action being no Elimination Ceremony during that episode.” The Gourd states. “...therefore, this is where the episode ends.” He nods. “Does anyone else wish to quit?” He asks.
Moony and Question Mark think about it, alongside House… but then rule against it. House is still thinking about it, but he, too, stays.
“...then I shall see you all… next time.” The Gourd states, disappearing.

FIN.
“House, I’ve been thinking for a while and… I have to go.” Penta told him. “...what..?” House says, sorrow in his voice. “This place is only so hospitable. and it's wearing thin, so my supposed properties haven't much protection against my need to go home.” He says. “...and another thing; I am aware you are attached to me, one may even say to a level of romantic desire.” Penta said. “...and I reciprocate those feelings. Make sure things are tidy, alright?” Penta told House.
“FINALLY! That.. CREATURE we dare even call a person is GONE!” House proclaims. “Ughhh, this just— god, I haven't even START anything, but it's already just.. SO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT HIM HERE!” House tells Penta. “It really is. Lunartic was just.. god awful. Honestly deserves to burn in hell.” Penta agreed. “Anyways, what's Cuby and GyroGyro up to?” House said. “...think they're forming a trio with David?” Penta replied.
David nodded, agreeing to join Cuby. GyroGyro tried to show the two his ideas for the next challenge, but it was all in Japanese. Meanwhile, Question Mark was playing with Sunny, who asked— “...Ms. Mark? Why do you ask alotta questions??” He asks. “Oh, well besides being my job as a Detective Journalist, I’m just naturally curious and skeptical, I guess!” She scratched the back of her head. “So… I should ask alotta questions so I can find things out..?” He asked. “Yeah, go ahead!” Question Mark says, with Sunny cheering.
“Okay, okay, uhmmm… MOONY!! Where did I come from?” Sunny asks. “...I.. don't know, I’m sorry Sunny.” Moony sighs. “Oh, okay.. uhm… GOURDY!! WHAT’S THE NEXT CHALLENGE?? :Dl Sunny now asks. “..I should've said that.” Question Mark adds.
“..OH! I FINISHED IT A WHILE AGO! Hold on!” The Gourd now rushes to the Ballroom Building to prepare.
After cluttering around for a bit, summoning chairs and tables, a panicked The Gourd comes back out. “ALRIGHT …alright… alright, so..” He coughs, before fixing himself. “THE NEXT CHALLENGE!! Will be dating!” He says.
David Stix blinks, before signing something.
“Why yes David, there are… oh. Only 9 of you? Uhm…” The Gourd thinks, GyroGyro howls lowly, speaking to David.
“Alright, then you’ll be in groups of 3! You’ll pair up with two others, being either a Date Member or Third Wheel, and… if you fall into the group with the least enjoyment points, you’ll be up for elimination by the winners.. sound good?” The Gourd says.
The Contestants murmur and shrug, before being told to— “START!”
GyroGyro got assigned Sunny and House, to which he immediately stood. “...Sunny is 12.” House says. “I’m not about to go on a date with a 12-year-old.” House says. “How old are you?? :-)” Sunny asks House. “I was built in 1983, so… 34?” He says. “Oh… you're cool. :D” GyroGyro now went outside with the two, and sat. He then thought for a moment, before spotting Cuby and Mime inside.
GyroGyro went inside, and realized something— he began to switch the dates around. Cuby with David and House with Penta. He then looked, and took Mime with him.
“So, what’s this plan?!” Mime asks.
GyroGyro howls, and Mime frowns. “Sitting and getting eliminated doesn't sound like that good of a plan.” It stated. “Well yeah ! …but we don’t really have a date, now do we?” Sunny says. “..we have each other!” Mime proclaims.
“...oh, true ! Gyro, how about—” TIME!
“Now, let's see… Question Mark, Cuby and David got a… 6/10, but Penta, House, and Moony got a 10/10! Now, for… oh.” The Gourd looked around, before spotting the three. “...huh. You two are a…4/10. You guys didn't even wanna sit inside, did you.” The Gourd says. “No ^^!” Sunny says.
“I appreciate the honesty, but unfortunately, you, GyroGyro, and Mime are up for elimination.” The Gourd sighs.
“..well.. I wouldn't vote for you, y’know!” Moony says, trying to cheer Sunny up. “...huh? Oh! I’m not sad— I’m just not paying attention right now!” Sunny tells her, leading to a small “ohokay..” from her.
AT THE ELIMINATION CEREMONY…
“GyroGyro, Mime, and Sunny. You three were voted upon by both each other and the 6 Safe contestants. Let’s see who gets out.” He nods. He now pulls out the first card. “Sunny… you are… SAFE, as nobody voted for you.”
Sunny’s seat glew green now.
“As for Mime and GyroGyro, the votes have been cast.” He nods. “Firstly, David Stix and Sunny? Abstained from voting, and did NOT ballot a vote.” He shows a screen with the two, their icons crossed out. “Now, the first two votes are for.. Mime. Followed by 1 for GyroGyro, 1 for Mime, 1 for GyroGyro… but the final vote goes to…”
GyroGyro’s Seat glows red. “GyroGyro, with a vote against himself, is eliminated.” He snaps his fingers, nothing happens. “...uhm… you're— go away?” He snaps his fingers until GyroGyro SCREECHES, leading to him disappearing. “..okay, I’ll take that. Anyways, see you next time.. on ANOTHER RANDOM OBJECT SHOW!” The Gourds tells the viewers as the torches go out.

"私の愛は私のもの、全部私のものです。
私の愛、全部私のものです。
世界には私のものは何もありません。
でも私の愛は、全部私のものなんです。" Yamate recited, softly stroking his wife’s head.
“CONTESTANTS!” The Gourd called out. “We have a NEW contestant!” The Gourd said.
“You let MORE people join the game?! Jeez… this is REDUNDANT!” Question Mark groaned. “..I said A person, Question Mark, A. That means ONE— whatever, point is, someone is joining us.. that someone issss…!” The Gourd now rolled some drums as he revealed a stickman.
“DAAAAVIIIIDDDD STIIIIXXXX!” He unveiled, as David shyly waved. “Now! David isn't a speaker, so hopefully you’re all very nice with him!” He stated.
“Wait, who’s he joining?” Lunartic asked.
“GOOD QUESTION LUNARTIC! It brings me to my NEXT topic! Since we're at the FINAL 10, it is time…” The Gourd now revealed the four team logos, before snapping, causing them to break apart into stickers. “FOR THE MERGE!” He announces. “Starting today, you ten are FIGHTING!! AMONGST!! YOURSELVES! I will now give you all a quick break!” He says.
David Stix immediately followed The Gourd, being too shy for now, as others began to plan.
Cuby wrote within his notepad, resulting in Mime coming to him to ask— “We should work together, right?” It asked. “We’d be a great teaaaammm!” Cuby pushed Mine away, before circling that he wouldn't be joining other UNLESS he absolutely needed to.
“Why don't we just work with GyroGyro and Question Mark since we know then? :D” Sunny said to Moony. “Good plan… Question?” Moony turned. “Oh, of course!! Right, we need to plan our challenge strategies then… what even IS the next challenge?” She said, being answered by The Gourd.
“CONTESTANTS! Today’s challenge will make sure YOU feel like a Superstar! CAUSE YOU ARE!” He exclaims. “You will enter a limousine, then arrive on a Red Carpet! Whoever is a SMASH HIT with their fans will be SAFE! The 5 People with the lowest ratings, out of 10, will be UP FOR ELIMINATION!” 10 Black Limousines would now pull into The Plains, CONTESTANTS! Get in the Limousines!” The Gourd announced, starting the challenge. “Ooh, fancy!” Sunny was the first person inside the limosuines, his driving off. He was quickly followed by Moony, who worried for where he was going, Question Mark and GyroGyro then got in aswell, with Question Mark telling GyroGyro— “We can share the ride, LET’S GO!”, resulting in her taking him into her limousine. Lunartic tried to tamper with the other limousines, however, The Gourd caught him and said— “Lunartic… CHEATING? Not very… SUPERSTAR-like behavior, is it?” He now grasped Lunartic. “You are hereby disqualified and automatically the first person up for elimination.” He stated, causing Lunartic to grumble.
“Why drive— PENTA! FLY!” House said, being carried by Penta to the location the limousines were driving to.
Cuby grabbed Mime, now accepting his offer, and threw the limo driver out, driving it himself.
“YAAYYYYYY!! Cuby, Go FAST!!” Mimd said as Cuby began making numerous shortcuts.
David was the final person inside a limo, and arrived as Cuby and Mime got there.
Cuby now ran across the Red Carpet, and into the saferoom, earning a rating of… 3. Mime followed, however, he shapeshifted into his fans, entertaining them for a total of… 8!
Following them, House waved as he walked to the SAFE Room, with Penta flying inside without saying anything, this let House get a rating of 6, while Penta only got a rating of 4.
After them was Sunny and Moony. Sunny was greeting, hugging, and even talking to his fans as Moony kept close to him. “What's the deal with teaming up with Question Mark?” A circle asked. “She's a friend! ^_^” Sunny replied. “What about Lunartic?” An egg asked. “I don't like Loonie anymore…” Sunny replies, just as Question Mark and GyroGyro appear and take him. “Who are you people?” She asks, carrying one of Sunny’s hands. GyroGyro howled, seemingly asking the same thing as all 4 now made it inside. GyroGyro got a rating of 5, while Question Mark and Moony got a rating of 7, Sunny, however, scored big time, earning himself a rating of 10.
David Stix, being the final person to arrive, made his way through, and was doing so well… until a circle asked him to make a speech, to which he panicked and ran away. Earning him a rating of just 1.
“anndd SCORE! Alright! The 5 Unlucky People UP FOR ELIMINATION are…” He now pointed at the scoreboard, “GyroGyro and Penta, with just 4 points both, Cuby, with only 3 points, David Stix with 1 point, and Lunartic, who was disqualified for cheating. Make your decisions!” He says, now disappearing. David Stix sighed, believing he would be getting eliminated as everyone began to plan their votes.
AT THE ELIMINATION CEREMONY.
“NOW!” The Gourd announces. “Tonight’s Format is… FREE VOTE! Everyone will be allowed to VOTE!” He states. “Make your decisions, GO!” The Gourd watched as Lunartic went inside the booth.
Lunartic would tamper with the Voting Booth, then grinned as when he voted for himself, it instead resulted in David Stix being voted.
One by one, everyone made a vote, until The Gourd announced nobody was left.
“Now!” The Gourd nods. “Lunartic, I think this has been a long time coming, but you got PLAYED!” He grinned. “WHAT??” Lunartic yelled.
“Y’see, David was NOT originally going to be a contestant at all, he was a PLOY!! HE WAS ALLOWED IN JUST TO LOSE!” He announced. “buuuut, seeing how you're a constant cheater, he will be allowed to JOIN.” He cackles. “Oh, and by the way? Everyone’s vote still counted. YOU’RE OUT WITH A UNIVERSAL VOTE!”
Sunny and Moony sighed as Question Mark and House cheered for him to be sent out of existence.
“OH, FUCK YOU ALL—!!” was his last words as the ceremony came to a close.

FIN.
“...” Lunartic sighed as he stared upon the remains of the planets. “...what’ll we do now..?” Moony asks him. “...we will begin looking for a place. We’ll take him with us… protect him, from her and…” he sighed. “...we’ll make the best of it.” He said, beginning to wander towards the Stanley Junkyard.
Cloudy and GyroGyro were hanging out after the events of the previous Elimination Ceremony. “I mean, it was just so irrational, how could they..?” Question Mark sighs. “Moony, what's that phrase you follow?” She asks. “You can only guarantee so many things in life, and the choices that others make is not one of them.” She recited. “What… does that even mean?” Cloudy, asked to which GyroGyro howled, ranting.
“...what?” Question Mark seems confused. “GyroGyro knows what Moony was talking about, it’s Tabula Rasa, he believes.” Cloudy said. “Yes, it is. Tabula Rasa states that we can shape our children and their characters, but it doesn't take into account when they become independent. Period is an example of this. None of us could've stopped their choice, and it was final.” Moony noted. “Essentially, I’m saying that Period wasn't going to be stopped regardless of what happened.” She sighs. “..fair.. point. I guess that's final then. I’m just sad they left, I guess.” Question Mark shrugged. “It’s alright. I’m still sad about Starry.”
Meanwhile, as Team FUN! discussed that, Cuby was taking care of Mime, who was being entertained by his silence. Just then, House appeared with Sunny, who wanted to play. “Cuby! Uhm… why don't you have a mouth? or.. don't speak?” He asked. Cuby thought for a moment, then gave Sunny a paper. “Born… this way? …you neve had a mouth?” Cuby taps where his mouth should be, which is smooth, and nods his head. “How have you been eating…?” He asks, curious, to which Cuby shrugs, unsure himself how he’s been alive so long. “What was it like to be an object, by the way— y’know, an inanimate one?” House asks.
Just as Cuby was about to write and draw , The Gourd cut him off with the announcement of the next challenge. “CONTESTANTS! Your challenge today will be to cross this valley!” He said, before removing the ground beneath The Tightrope Island and replacing it with acid. “A rope will swing in a pendulum, back and forth, between the islands, the team who has the most members on the island across will win! GO!” He snaps his fingers, and just then, Mime becomes Cloudy, confusing Team FUN! with lines like “Sorry guys, I gotta switch!”
“How easy…” Penta said, taking advantage of the confusion and debate, corporealizes himself across the platforms, before realizing; “...HOUSE!” However, it was too late, as he was counted safe.
Moony then went, realizing even if they figured out which Cloudy was real, the other would only carry about 3 people on her, and possibly a 4th person within her, therefore leaving out the possibility of 2 people. and without consideration, grabbed Sunny and swung across the platforms. “We’re safe!” Moony said to Sunny, hearing the ding.
After Moony went, Cuby took his shot, but missed by a few inches.
He fell into the acid, and began to sizzle. The last thing he felt was everything around him boiling until…
“Oh damn. You got eliminated AGAIN?” Hangman said, looking down upon Cuby, who had just died. “...you're soaking wet—” Just as he was about to talk about Cuby, Lunartic appeared, causing a commotion.
“DAMN IT! I fucking REFUSE to die like that!” He looked around, angrily. “Ugh! and THIS place?! Such a fucking sobstory, this place!” He now sat. “Y’know darling, you could TRY to have a more likable personality, but…” Heart tsks. “but of course. That's not like you.” She says. “You're more of a like, I don't know… 12-year-old Jeff the Killer Creepypasta Fan who JUST realized that curse words exist?” Lightning adds. “Oh, shut up, SLUTS!” Lunartic flipped them off. “I’ll have you know the only slut here is ME, and besides, even If I am a slut, at least I’m not YOU, a person who on the daily, probably glorifies wartime with messages such as What happened to men?, as if war is something to be celebrated.” Heart told Lunartic off. “Pathetic.” She said snapping her nail filer, before getting a new one. “Besides, in due time, you’ll probably get out, unless they FINALLY got rid of you.”
“It's not just him, Heart.” Hangman said. “Cuby’s here, so they're probably doing a lethal challenge, which means Cuby and Lunartic here are dead.” He said. Heart groaned with many of the others in The Inbetween. “We have been STUCK in this white void for numerous days on end, and Silent Boy has FINALLY come back, so why doesn't he go ahead and tell us all about his trip?” Heart says. “Go on, speak!” Heart told Cuby, who obviously couldn't say anything.
Heart filed her nails as Period came over. “Eugh, what’s HE doing here?” He said. “My exact question..!” Exclamation Mark said, shivering at the sigh of Lunartic. “Oh, fuck off coward.” Lunartic flipped them off too. “Oh, no, no, no! What is THIS?” Triangula said, suddenly appearing from behind Lunartic. “No. Get him OUT!” She snaps her fingers. “What is he doing here, anyways?” Period says. “God, The Colon Duo better get here, and quick.” Exclamation Mark sighs.
“Oh, those lousies were TOO easy to get rid of! Constant fighting and bickering only leads to—” …and like that, Lunartic had disappeared. “Good riddance!” Paperplates exclaimed. “Far too annoying in my taste!” She said. “Can we get updates on Flower? How’s he doing, exploring the void?” Hangman asked. “I dunno, he hasn't said anything. WOAH! Cuby got re-eliminated?!” Hangman sighed. “No, he probably just died. Lunartic was clearly not eliminated either, so… who knows.” He shrugs as The Colon Duo both ascend and descend into view. “Greetings!” Angel says. “WORSHIP SATAN!” Devil proclaims. “We have reappeared! Flower found something MOST interesting!” Angel said. “As a result we can confirm— this place is NOT just some pocket dimension for The Gourd, or whatever, instead, this is a type of purgatory!” Devil proclaims. “You see, when an object dies, they will show up here! A place we from both The Heavens and The Nether call…” now in synchrony, the duo exclaim; “THE INBETWEEN! You are all inbetween non-existence and existence, hence the name!” Angel explains.
“...well, then what was the interesting thing Flower found?” Tragedy asks. “Can we see? Can we see?!” Comedy says, excited. “Oh, of course! We shall both ascend and descend, whilst teleporting you to the location of THE INBETWEEN you desire!” Angel proclaims, allowing Devil to teleport everyone in The Inbetween to Flower’s location.
“Hello, dears…!” A very old lady stood in front of the group. “My name is Margatha, and I was 81 years old when I died in…” She thinks. “Summer 2008...” she nods. “Oh, and thank you for your kindness, Flower. It has been very many years since I have been able to get fresh vegetables…” Margatha seemed to be a very old, pruny Raisin. She was clearly senile, and wasn't in the best state. “No issue, Ms. Maū.” Flower nods. “You remind me of.. Daisy! ..she's around your age and.. lives in this part of the void, with me…!” She says, caressing Flower’s cheek. “You're very pretty, like her.” She said.
“Wait, wait, you would've lived to see WWII?” Triangula said. “Huh… how did you..?” Triangula seemed to ask, to which Margatha chuckled. “Nothing special. I lied down in my sleep, and stopped breathing, I wasn't awake, so I simply awoke here.” She sighs. “I do worry for my grandchildren sometimes, but Daisy helps to ease me… oh… speaking of her, I really should introduce her to you! You are my guests…” Maragatha now cleared her throat, and with her best holler, called for Daisy.
“Hm.. ? Yes, Margatha?” Daisy says, popping out of the doorway of the cabin. She had white petals, a yellow flower head, green leafs, and a green silky stem.
“We have guests..! Be a dear and say hello, won't you?” Margatha would say, shaking ever-so-slightly as he held onto her cane. “Well hello dear guests, my name is Daisy.” She said in a gentle tone as she waved. There were 11 guests, and one of them was another Flower, who nodded to you. The others seemed to be rather disinterested or inattentive.”What brings you here in the cabin.. ? Either way, may I be the assistance?” Daisy asks. “We need to know more about.. HERE.” Tragedy says. “Yeah, yeah! WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN?” Comedy asks, excitedly. “Well.. lets see.. I’m dead, I think..?" Daisy says not knowing how death works. “Indeed you are!” Margatha says. “I died in my sleep, as you should all recall… so we're all dead, however, we haven't quite moved on! Ohh, no… we still need to accept some things” Margatha said, still shaky as ever. “like… what?” Flower asks. “...any worries, angers, or guilt you had… do forget them. Your time has come.” Margatha said, sighing deeply. “Well.. There you have it.. I haven't moved on yet." Daisy says worriedly. “I still haven't moved on yet because, a singular Golden Rose." She said, “He's a different type of flower," She mentioned."I also died due to cancer. “ She said. “Oh… huh. What about him is so—” Flower pauses. “HOLY SHIT, WHAT’S HAPPENING TO MARGATHA?” He points out that Margatha is quickly fading, ceasing to exist. “Ohh, don't worry dears. My grandchildren will be perfectly fine. They can take care of themselves, and now I can rest. Thank you all for making me feel better about this.” she said, now fully dissipating.
The silence that filled THE INBETWEEN was silent, until someone spoke again. “Well.. she now accepted her fate, but not me. I just haven’t moved on.” she said. “This is what the cabin is really used for.” She says. “..you know, we aren't actually DEAD.” Flower states. “Cuby here is actually dead, but we were eliminated!” Flower said, speaking of Cuby.
Suddenly, as Cuby was waving to Daisy, he ceased to exist within THE INBETWEEN.
“...recovered AFTER silentboy? …how embarrassing…” Heart sighed. “Yes, indeed.. ??” Daisy said confused about the situation. “I think we should head back now, the next person will be eliminated soon..” Tragedy said. “A NEW FRIEND?” Comedy replies. “..uh.. yeah, heh..!” Tragedy chuckles, now walking away with Comedy. “Mhm..” She mumbled quietly to herself and went quiet. “.. I hope Golden Rose is okay.. I wonder if Ordinary Zero still exists.. ?” She murmured to herself. “..wait, what's Ordinary Zero..?” Flower asks, as Heart and Lightning leave. “Basically.. It’s a contest show that Golden Rose and his stepbrother often would talk about. Its reward was to get 10 billion dollars. I remember.. The host name was Bowtie.” She explained as Paperplates and Hangman left, too. “...the gameshow we were on is called Another Random Object Show— I remember the flyers calling it Season 1, for some reason. Most shows don't recognize their first season as their FIRST unless there's plans to make another season, or unless…” He pauses, staring at Daisy as Exclamation Mark and Period left, too. “Well.. Ordinary Zero was created in 2008.” She said. “and this show has been going since Summer of 2018. You don't think that… y’know, maybe Ordinary Zero was..?” Flower suggests, as Triangula left the cabin. “Well.. During Summer 2008, people were getting bored of cartoons. They wanted live-action studio audiences and such, like the gameshow you guys are on right now.” She explained. “Flower, you coming?” Triangula called out. “...sigh. I have to go. Do you wanna discuss this on our way there?” He asks. “.. Sure.” She said. Flower nodded and walked out the cabin, and when Daisy followed, the cabin disintegrated as Maragatha had died.
Once they finally got there, THE INBETWEEN began to glow green.
The Icon of Cloudy appeared in the area, before Cloudy herself finally appeared, being greeted by Hangman. “Eliminated?” he said.
“Yeah. Lunartic tricked everyone into thinking I was helping the other team.” She stated.
“...what now?” She asks.
…
“...we wait.”

FIN.
A portal appeared in THE INBETWEEN, from it, Star stepped out and said; “I CLAIM HEARTUSSY!!”, before snatching her up to do… QUESTIONABLE acts with her in space. Phantom and Starry añpeared afterwards. Phantom sighed and said. “...Masqueradians. I.. apologize for—” Paperplates cut him off by hugging him, followed by Comedy and Tragedy joining in. “...Hangman, you are… welcome to come with.” He says, carrying the three out onto the moon.
“...everyone else is. If you.. wish to come with us, to the moon, then.. we welcome you with open arms!” Starry states. “...once we close the portal, there is no return. Alright?” Cloudy looks at Daisy, waiting to see if she’d come with. “.. I'm sorry, but I'm going with the others.. I need to know what it's like. I apologize, I just need to know. “ Daisy says, apologizing. “Oh, it’s fine! I’m coming!” Flower says. “Me too.. I.. need to know about Ordinary Zero now.” Triangula says. “That means Exclaimy and Period-y will stay! Let's go!” Flower says. “Oh, uh, I’ll be staying too. Like, I need time away from Heart after our, like, falling out.” Lightning says. “Oh.. good riddance!” Triangula says, leaving Lightning behind. “..I bid aiedu to you all…” Starry says, leaving THE INBETWEEN.
Sunny was drawing with House, before House asked him; “Hey, Sunny, when you grow up… what do you wanna be? Mime said it wants to be the world’s greatest imitation master, so.. what about you?” He asked.
“...when I grow up? ..uhm… I wanna be.. a Fireman! Because they save people! O-or a Doctor!! Doctor’s are so cool! Ooh! or best of all, a teacher! Because I can help others, yeah, yeah! <D” Sunny says, ranting about jobs to House.
“Oh please, you’d never pass.” Lunartic spoke out. “Didn't I JUST tell you to go away? The Playarea is NOT safe with you around!” Question Mark groaned. “Sorry for teaching Mime and Sunny here the COLD. HARD. TRUTH! Those idiots are too mentally ill to ever pass ANYTHING! Sunny wasn't ever sent to school in space, because it DOESN’T EXIST! and Mime.. god, what even IS Mime?” He insulted him, causing Mime to turn into Phantom and say– “Well, at least I’m not an abusive dipshit who doesn't even CARE for the people he abuses!” He growled. “Oh, fuck off. Sunny’s a retard—” and just like that, Question Mark STRUCK Lunartic across the face. “WE DON'T EVER SAY THAT WORD! NOW GO! GET!” Question Mark yelled at Lunartic, who scurried away.
“What's the commotion..?” Cloudy asks, confused. “House and I were watching Period, Mime and Sunny when Lunartic got near the Playarea and started calling Sunny the.. R-Slur, such a horrible thing to call that sweetheart…” She says, somberly. “I mean, I’m not even surprised. Lunartic's just… Prideful. That's literally what he is. The embodiment of Pride— he thinks heaven better than everyone else and is unstoppable.” Period groans. “Good point, I’ll go get GyroGyro, he’ll be able to fend against him if he comes back.” Cloudy flew off.
Meanwhile, Cuby approached Moony, seeming to seek advice from her. “Cuby? Why are you..?” She said, trying to now understand his sign language. “...Japan? ..what about Japan..?” Cuby then pointed at himself, causing Moony to think, before guessing. “You're frustrated nobody understands you unless you write because you're Japanese and use Japanese Sign Language?” She guesses, causing Cuby to nod frantically. “Oh! Huh… hm… I don't know what I could do, but… did you have connections with anyone who speaks Japanese?” She asks, he shakes his head, and sighs. “I’m really sorry, Cuby, I can't help you. I’m sorry.” She said, before Cuby wrote to her— “NO PROBLEM. ^^”
Just then, as Lunartic began trying to sneak jnto the PlayArea and kidnap Sunny, GyroGyro screeched at him, resulting in Penta rushing to make sure GyroGyro didn't try and trade his soul again. “I get you’re imprisoned, but STOP! The trade won’t work! We know what happened last time, right? Don't do it again!” Penta pleaded with GyroGyro, who made a begrudged agreement howl. “Thank goodness…”
DING DING! CHALLENGE TIME! Every contestant got sent back into their teams, and onto their Team Rugs, where The Gourd awaited.
“Before we begin, Penta and Cloudy? You three can NOT compete.” He told the three, causing groans on both sides. “This is because the next challenge is to FLY! Contestants ! You will be tasked with flying a paper airplane, however, instead of staying up the longest, your goal is to take DOWN the other team! Got it?” The Gourd said as the teams nodded. “INTO YOUR PLANES!”
Period pushed Lunartic out of his way and became captain, while House said— “Let’s just see who falls..!” To Team FUN!, before leading the plane… and.. “START!” calls The Gourd.
Period began to fly, with Question Mark co-piloting, meanwhile, Sunny was being held on Moony’s back, where he was talking about how fun it was to be able to fly.
GyroGyro then tried to howl, to which Question Mark said— “What if we used him to determine airflow? His chambers can tell us how harshly the wind is blowing against us, and our atmospheric pressure, while we pilot!” She explained. “Huh… I had to thought of that! Gyro! Become our 3rd Co-Pilot!” Period said, resulting in GyroGyro agreeing.
Meanwhile, Cuby was flying the plane, while House and Mime tried to make talk. “So.. uhm… how… is it nowadays? …your uh… dysphoria, I mean.” He says. “Perfectly well! Might I add how goopy my face is getting from all this?” Mime chuckled, his face covered in an unknown Black Substance. “..what.. IS this anyways?” He says, staring at the stains. “It's a mix of my fluids!” He claimed, causing House to groan. “I kid! It only contains my blood! What it actually is, is something I call Transmallable Fluid, it's the stuff that keeps me from being unable to stabilize my limbs, and it's also the same thing that lets me transform!” He states. “Huh… interesting..?” House says. “How does it work?” Mime then explained that, “It morphs into a shape scanned by the brain— since it's also within my brain, which is why my face is like this— point across, it molds into what I, in a moment, WANT to be! If it touched you, however, it would act like a parasite and try to encompass your body so that you’d be the same as me!” Mine stated. “Huh… disturbing and I’m now scared of you… but what an ability, ain’t it?” House said, before pointing out. “What… what’s Lunartic do— Is he sabotaging his own team??” Mime looked.
Lunartic had snuck to the back of the plane, where he had a pair of clippers, he then took the clippers and began clipping the back of the plane.
“GUYS— LOOK! LUNARTIC’S CLIPPING YOUR PLANE!” House tried to warn. Mime tried the same, but they were too far away, so when Lunartic clipped off part of the left wing…
It began drifting downwards. “We’re losing control—!” Period said as GyroGyro howled violently, wind rushing through his chambers. “WE’LL CRASH INTO THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN— EVERYONE, SIT TIGHT AND—”
CRINKLE! Team FUN! Now rolled down the side of Mount. Frigid, and into the surrounding woodlands, The Gourd, seeing their plane out of the sky, however, summoned them.
“Team FUN!, you’ve lost! You’ll now be forced to vote for someone at the Ceremony Tonight! …also note, tomorrow night is the FINAL night without an Elimination Booth, THANK GOD!” He said.
With that, The Gourd walked away, leaving the others to think for a moment.
“...we need to get Lunartic out.” Moony said. “and now’s our chance! Alright, everyone, to the ceremony!” Cloudy said, descending now.
At the ceremony, The Gourd started as usual.
“Alright, we still DO NOT have a Voting Booth, so… does… anyone wanna eliminate themselves? ..nobody?” He looks around.
Period stands up and says— “I did an awful job at piloting today. I deserve this.” He sighed, walking onstage. “Oh.. uh.. are.. are you sure?? You have like.. a LOT of reasons to stay! Fan favorite, well developed..?” The Gourd says, completely caught offguard.
“Period, whatever you're ashamed of from today wasn't your fault— please!” Question Mark says. “Ma, I love you, but I don't deserve to stay after today. Plus… Pa’s probably lonely.” Question Mark inhales, before looking at Moony and sighing. “...go on. Just… be safe.”
“You.. uh, gonna change your miiind…?? ...no..? .al.. alright..??” He snaps his fingers turning Period into a sheet of paper with a single Full-Stop Punctuation Mark on it. “..That.. that was uhm.. not.. okay, well, see you all next time! ..yeah.. what in the world..?” The Gourd walked offstage, the torches to the ceremony blowing out.

FIN.
“Ugh, dad, stop that!” Period said, being hugged tightly by Exclamation Mark. “Big kids don't get hugged by their dads!” They told him. “Huh..? So big kids don't love their dads, then…?” He said. “Either way, I got us Cotton Candy! Enjoying the carnival?” Question Mark asked Period. “...yes.” They begrudgingly said. “..it was all your father’s idea!” She said, chuckling softly as she patted their head. “...hey, uh… thanks. For this. I mean.” Period says. “Y’know, I JUST came out a week ago, so.. thanks for—” Exclamation Mark cut him off; “No need to thank me buddy, I’m your dad! My ONE goal and job as your father is to make sure you feel SAFE, and LOVED, and CHERISHED! and truly… that's because you are..!” Exclamation Mark said, looking down at Period. “Boop! Hmhm..!”
…
“Where are The Colon Duo?” Lightning said. “Didn't they get eliminated too, in like.. Episode 2?” She said, “They’re an Angel and a Devil, so they probably went to Heaven and Hell.” Hangman sighed. “We, however… STILL have MUCH… much more to learn about… HERE.” He says, looking around The Inbetween’s vastness.
GyroGyro was spontaneously committing to a dance ritual. Penta floated by, and seemed confused.
“Uh.. do you guys… need help with THAT or, what–” Cloudy groaned, cutting Penta off. “He’s been like this for a while now, he's tried summoning spirits, but that led to.. uh… THIS.” Cloudy looked at GyroGyro. “One can only wonder what ancient relic of a soul is inside him..” Just then, Moony began to yell, directing Penta and Cloudy to look over to see Lunartic trying to force a kiss onto Moony. “GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF ME, GOD!” Moony’d yell, violently thrashing. “BABYDOLL, JUST STAND STILL AND FUCKING GIVE UP! STARRY NEVER LOVED YOU! MOVE ON, DAMNIT!!” Finally, Lunartic smacked Moony to the ground, then raised his hand to beat her, only for GyroGyro to then violently screech.
It was a horrible sound, like nails on a chalkboard inside an Active, In-Use Brazen Bull, a scream of a thousand years, a celestial intervention. Just then, GyroGyro began erratically twisting and turning, but just then, it stopped as GyroGyro came to Lunartic…
…then screamed one last time, causing Lunartic to go into a trance like never before.
“..huh? Gyro??” Sunny broke the silence, from his play area, he was protected from much harm, and Phantom and Mime made sure that he didn't leave.
“Let's go inside the Laser Tag Arena…” Phantom told Sunny. “YAY, LASE RTAG.” Mime swiftly melted into a puddle in order tk reach the Laser Tag Arena quickly.
Phantom watches as Mime and Sunny run off to play Laser Tag, Phantom then turned to the others and asked— “What the FUCK is going on??” House then replied— “GyroGyro stopped Lunartic from essentially forcing a kiss onto Moony.” He said. “...so… sexual assault?” Phantom said. “Meh, leave him be.”
Period then ran up and kicked Lunartic over, laughing at him being unable to get up, “Who’s small now?!” They said, running off.
Meanwhile, Moony swept herself off. “Do you need anything?? Are you okay??” Question Mark asked. “I’m fine, just… eugh.. a creep.” Moony said, sighing. “...he really is.” Question Mark said, groaning. However, Cuby would grab the two, bringing them over to The Gourd.
Organized into teams, The Gourd announced the next challenge. “CONTESTANTS! The next contest is simple! Land on the moon!”
Just then, Sunny tried piggyback-riding Moony, to which The Gourd clarified— “I meant in space— you will land on the moon, then place a flag, once done, simply come back BEFORE the other team!” The Gourd now snapped his fingers, summoning two rocket ships. “Fuel up your ships, then go!”
As Phantom got the oil needed to get Team Merge’s Rocket running, Cuby tried to do so too. The two got distracted fighting over who's the team leader, so Team FUN! got ahead.
“I really think Phantom’s gonna get out.” Cloud said, “even when I was on the team, he was so controlling.” She sighed as they landed. “Whatever, let's just place a flag here and—” Sunny suddenly pushed past Period and Question Mark and directly into..
STARRY???
“Wh— huh. What. Wait. Huh?” Question Mark was… confused, but Starry spoke: “Greetings! I uh… got eliminated! …except you can't objectify a star without killing it so.. yeah!” Moony suddenly swiftly hugged Starry. “ACKK.. also, uh… Star’s here.” She points over to Star, who is trying to figure out his basic math. “He's.. kinda dumb, so I gave him earth homework. :-)” she stated, before going silent and hugging Starry for quite awhile.
Eventually, Team Merge came, and began to place their flag, however, Cloudy came to Phantom to tell him to—
“Stay here.” Cloudy said, as her teammates said goodbye and got onboard, waiting for her. “What? Phantom scoffed. “Why would I?” Cloudy looked at the rocket, then at him, before looking at Mime before getting onboard and leaving.
Mime then said… “If you stay here, you won't be eliminated and will be in space, but if you go with us, then you'll be eliminated and sent to wherever they go.” Mine explained as a Circle.
“Mime, c’mon! House, Penta and Cuby wouldn't vote for me!” Phantom said.
Mime just stared.
“Right…?” Phantom said.
Cuby grabbed Mime, gave Phantom a note, and left.
Phantom clutches the note as he watched the rocket fly off without him, before he calmed down and sat.
Back on Earth, The Gourd seemed confused, he asked “Team Merge! You LOST again! …where’s Phantom?”
Cuby then signed to The Gourd that they knew they were up for elimination, and had decided to eliminate Phantom, to which The Gourd accepts as a valid cast.
“...alright, then Phantom is eliminated! Very anti-climatic, but oh well!” The Gourd blew out the Elimination Ceremony as it began to sprinkle.

FIN.
“Day after day, being bullied by others became my routine.” Phantom stated to the crowd. “However, I am proud to be the leader of The Masquerade. I shall not fail in my suit of justice for those who are physically and mentally scarred.
…
“...I wanna revive Heart.” Star sighed. “We don't have a shooting star, but maybe we can go to The Inbetween..” Starry said, just then Phantom stared and asked… “...the what?”
“Loonie! We know you rigged the vote.” Sunny said. “You can't get away with this.” Cloudy said. “So? You guys don't have any proof, after all I was in that fire too!” Lunartic shrugged. “but you conveniently saved the ONE thing getting Starry out?” Moony said. “Babydoll, how about we just kiss and make this up?” Lunartic said, now trying to lean over Moony, hand-in-hand. “Let go— Lunartic, I don't—” Moony grunted as Lunartic started trying to carry her, tango-style, the only thing getting him away from her being GyroGyro entrancing him.
“God, he really IS a creep— why haven't we gotten rid of him again?” Question Mark asks Period. “They… literally JUST said that he keeps rigging the votes.” Period replies. “Oh yeah…” Question Mark says, not having paid attention. “I’m gonna go ask The Gourd for food, want anything?” She asks Period before going forward. “..a Snickers Bar.” Period admits as Question Mark goes to get herself and Period food.
Question Mark hovered over to The Gourd, and began asking for food using a Request Point she earned from winning on Team FUN!, meanwhile, Mime began to terrorize Period and Cloudy.
“What to do… what to do..?” The Gourd said, thinking of a challenge. He then heard Cloudy screaming, and saw Mime transformed into Lunartic, giving him an idea.
“CONTESTANTS! I HAVE A NEW CHALLENGE!” The Gourd announced, teleporting the contestants to their teams.
“Two of you will be turned into eliminated contestants from before! Your goal is to figure out who the eliminated contestant REALLY is!” The Gourd announces. “Now, BEGIN!”
With a snap of his fingers, “Flower” came back onto Team FUN! and “Comedy” right back into Team Merge.
“Now, go!” The Gourd announced.
“Alright…” Moony looked around. “Oh thank god, well, whoever Flower really is, he's actually in the place of Lunartic!” Moony figured out.
Meanwhile, Phantom was trying to figure Comedy out. “Hm… were you a Team FUN!, The Masquerade, or Team “What?” member..?”He asks. “The Masquerade, jeez, how…” Comedy perked up. “How stupid do you have to be, ha?” Phantom seemed confused. “...it's called Rude Humor?” He states. “Oh… huh… I like it!” Phantom says.
Meanwhile, GyroGyro was howling something, Cloudy then came over. “A-huh, mhm… oh..! Oh!” Cloudy turned to Period. “GyroGyro says that the person behind Flower is very sad.”
Period looked over at “Flower” and considered it, before agreeing. “I mean… he's not wrong. They've just kinda been laying on the floor and sobbing…” Period came to “Flower”, and asked… “Heeeyy… are you… GOOD?”
“...no.” Flower said. “I miss Comedy.” Tragedy said, now revealing himself.
“...oh… that was… depressingly easy… Tragedy, do you wanna atleast TRY to—” Tragedy now got up and stared at Period. “You miss Exclamation Mark don't you? …if I get eliminated tonight, I could join Comedy.. maybe share a message with Exclamation Mark…” Tragedy told Period, who stood back in shock. “...I…” Period sighed.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Mime was about to reveal who Comedy was, based on how he acted. Just then…
“TEAM FUN IS SAFE!!!” The Gourd announced, now detonating the shape shifting mechanism on the imposters, painting Lunartic and Tragedy in a red color. DAMN IT! I— UGH!” Lunartic groaned, covered in the red paint.
“You tried your best Tragedy.” Penta sighed. “Now we have to figure out who to get rid of.” House noted.
“Me.” Tragedy said. “What?” House looked at him like what he had just said was some form of intergalactic concept. “Tragedy, we're voting for someone who’s a thr—” Tragedy shushed him. “I want ME out.” He repeated. “...are.. you sure?? plus, even then, wouldn't Phantom be a better choice? He's a leader! He could easily threaten our case!” House said. “Yeah! ..listen, we’ll think about it, but for now, we're voting Phantom out.” Penta said, walking away.
AT THE CEREMONY…
“So! Team Merge, uhm… do any of you WANT to go? I uh, don't have a voting booth, that's under maintenance… so..” The Gourd waited patiently, holding his breath, before…
“Me. I nominate myself for elimination.” Tragedy says. “Tragedy, don't be stupid—” Phantom requests, before Tragedy snaps back.
“NO! I’m GOING! I don't care that I’m WEAK, or NOT A WORTHY TARGET, I’m going with COMEDY! Gourd! Take me away!” Tragedy demanded.
“...annny… ANY?? Objections?” The Gourd looks around, before pulling out a flashcard of Tragedy’s Icon.
Alright, then Tragedy is ELIMINATED! Byebye!” He snaps his fingers, turning Tragedy into a Porcelain Tragedy Mask, placing it with the Porcelain Comedy Mask.

FIN.
“..Alright, you can… let go now.” Phantom said, trying to pry Tragedy off of Comedy. “NO. >:(“ Tragedy hissed. “Why do you gotta kill the fun?” Comedy asks Phantom, who deeply sighed.
…
As Tragedy entered THE IN-BETWEEN, he walked to Exclamation Mark, going past Comedy. “Exclamation Mark?” He said. “We may cease to exist eight now, but Period, and Question Mark told me to tell you…
“Guys?” Sunny says, sadly. “GyroGyro hasn't moved in a while, and he keeps escaping to Team Merge! :-(“ Sunny says. “That and we haven't been able to find Penta ANYWHERE!” Phantom sighs. “Cuby! Know anything?”
Cuby shakes, nervous to tell the truth, but is cut off by Penta howling from within the Gyroid.
“Wait… was that..?” Question Mark realizes…
“GYROGYRO!! :D” Sunny cheered. “No, sweetie, that's Penta… PENTA, ARE YOU IN THERE??” Starry says.
The Gyroid SCREAMS now, begging for release.
“Moony, help!” Starry pleads, leading to Moony grabbing Lunartic, who provoked by the sound, screams— “SHUT UP!” and shatters GyroGyro.
Penta is released once more, and goes towards The Gourd. “GOURD! RECOVER GYROGYRO!” He shouts. “Are you sure? You have 3 Grants from the times Team “What?” scored 1st in a challenge so—!” Penta cut The Gourd off. “RECOVER!”
The Gourd recovered The Gyroid, which immediately began entrapping the former inhabitant of the vessel.
GyroGyro now stood still, unmoving. “...is he OK?” Cloudy asks, concerned. “I’m not sure…” The Gourd sighed. “Let's move on for now!” The Gourd now prepared to announce the next challenge.
“TEAMS!” He said, now teleporting everyone into their respective teams. “Today’s challenge is based on a film I saw, we’ll be using Umbrellas to…” The Gourd launched himself onto the Floating Islands, then cut the Tightrope from Episode 2. “Cross this gap! Failure to get across will count as failure!” The Gourd stated. “Who wants to go first?”
Penta raises his hand, before being disqualified with Cloudy. “He could fly.” The Gourd sighs. “Anyone else?”
Lunartic then pushed Starry forward. “Wait, what—?!” Starry says, before being handed an umbrella. “...alright… I guess I’ll try…” She sighed, before running towards the gap and jumping. “Oh, oh-hohohoh!” She laughed as she flew onto the platform. “STARRY’S SAFE!” The Gourd announced.
“GOD!” Lunartic growls, now pushing Question Mark off. “Oh, uh… guess she's out.” The Gourd looks down. “GODDAMNIT!” Question Mark yells.
Phantom went as this was going on, and got across. “Here we are!” Phantom now pulls Tragedy out from behind him. “Was that so hard?” Phantom says. “I miss Comedy. :-(“ Tragedy replies.
“Phantom and Tragedy are safe!” The Gourd says.
Cuby now jumped, being lightweight and getting across, House followed using GyroGyro as a booster , pushing him down into the ground below, and barely making it. “NONONO—” House now gets grabbed by Cuby, just before he can fall down. “CUBY! HOUSE! You two are safe.” The Gourd says. “THANKS MANNNnn..” House sighs in relief, with Cuby nodding.
When Moony went, Lunartic proceeded to throw Period at her, resulting in her and Period being disqualified, to which Period took negatively, as they said— “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! THAT’S UNFAIR!! HE LITERALLY THREW ME AT HER??” Period argued. “I never clarified on friendly fire…” The Gourd said. “Either way. Lunartic made it across.” The Gourd showed that Lunartic had now made it across.
“Mime! Go ahead!” Phantom encouraged. Mime now turned into Paperplates, since she was lightweight, and flew across onto the platform. “Heehee! Oh, light is so fun! <)” Mime said, now turning back. “MIME! YOUR SAFE! Sunny, finally, come across!”
Sunny landed safely, but then spotted Lunartic berating Starry. “...mom?” Sunny spoke. “Don't be ridiculous, Moony’s down there.” Lunartic spoke. “I meant Starry, not you. >:(“ Sunny said, now pushing Lunartic away, and off the platform.
“Oh!! Anyways, since only 3 Funmates made it across compared to the entirety of Team Merge, Team FUN! is up for elimination!” The Gourd announced, now teleporting everyone onto the ground.
“That's IT! We’re getting RID of Lunartic! I’M TIRED OF HIM!” Period says, throwing a fit. “Calm down—” Question Mark asks. “NO! He’s right! He's AWFUL! How can we even stand him?! He’s gotten rid of Exclamation Mark, and he constantly abused me!” Moony says. “...you know what, Moony’s right. If even Moony gets angry over something, then it's worth addressing.” Starry sighs. “I wish we had gotten rid of him instead of The Colon Duo.” Sunny looks to the floor. “...but! Now is the time to get rid of him, LET’S VOTE!!” Sunny rushes to the Elimination Ceremony.
“GOURDDDD!!” Sunny cheered, running towards The Gourd. “What's happened?” The Gourd asked. “Huh? Oh, no, I just wanted to start the Elimination Ceremony early!” Sunny requests.
“You have a vote in mind already?!” He says. “Yep! Everyone else does too!” Sunny cheerfully claims. “Ah, I see.. go… uh… summon your team! …OH! RIGHT!” The Gourd revived GyroGyro. “Now!”
“ELIMINATION CEREMONY TIME, FUNNERS!! C’MON!! X)” Sunny cheered as he summoned Team FUN!
“Alright, Team FUN! …I uh… didn't have time to prepare a speech, BUT! You all have a vote in mind apparently, SO!” The Gourd now points to the Elimination Booth. “Make a vote!”
Sunny is the first to run into the booth, where he immediately voted for Lunartic, followed by Question Mark, Period, Moony, Starry, and even Cloudy voting against Lunartic.
However, when Lunartic went in, the booth suddenly caught ablaze, and Lunartic came out screaming. “OHGODOHFUCK” Lunartic screamed as The Gourd now began to summon buckets of water to pail on him. “OHEJDUAIIJNNNSKKAN”
Once Lunartic was extinguished, and the Booth was destroyed, The Gourd sighed deeply. “Well, without a booth, I can't count votes.” He shook his head before Lunartic groaned something— “I… I have… thee.. votes.” He said.
“Wow, he actually did something nice?” Cloudy said. “I wouldn't be sure, Loonie is… uhm… mean. :-(“ Sunny said.
The Gourd now counted them, seeming surprised. “Well. With a near-unanimous vote, I am announcing THAT… the eliminated contestant ranking at 15th is…” The Gourd now cleared his throat, seemingly in inconfidence, before…
He revealed the icon of Starry, and said— “Starry, with no other way to validate an actual vote right now, I have to eliminate you.” The Gourd sighed. “But, hey! At least Sunny and Moony didn't vote for you…?” The Gourd now turned Starry into a star in the night sky.
“...but we didn't vote her out either..?” Period says over The Gourd’s monologue. “We know…” Moony said, before scowling. “We need to get rid of him, and FAST.” Cloudy stated.
“...and hopefully a new booth, NEXT TIME!” The Gourd finally closes the episode, with the lights turning off.

“..well, we’re here!” Starry proclaimed. “Great! …uh…” Earth started to tremble. “Starry, I— what… what IS moondust?” Earth said.
“..I… I don't know…” Starry said, horrified as Earth began to fall apart in front of her, their screams echoing. “I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.
SEASON 1, EPISODE 11 — Guess Who Just Got Back Today?
“Ahh… to live the life of a queen!” Heart said. “Penta! Water!” Heart commanded. “Yes, madame.” Penta said. “and House? Go, I dunno, meet with Phantom or whatever.” Heart waved House off.
“Hnph. Phantom, what have you done?” House asks. “Nothing at all, why?” Phantom said. “Heart wanted me to—” House is interrupted by a familar yelling.
Lunartic was being abusive towards Moony… AGAIN. “THAT’S IT! I’M DONE!” Moony pushed Lunartic. “...did.. DID YOU JUST—” Moony smacked Lunartic now. “I’m OVER this. You treat ME and OUR SON horribly. If you can't be a father, you can't be my lover.” Moony said, walking away. “Sunny! Let’s go play!” She said, spotting Sunny.
“ATTENTION!” The Gourd announced, summoning teams. “As you all can see, we are down to just 14 contestants! Some teams are obviously smaller than others.” The Gourd said, looking at Team “What?”, SO!
The Gourd now unveiled a new team logo, a grey flag with the words “Team MERGE” embroidered on it. “THE MASQUERADE! TEAM “WHAT?”, YOU TWO ARE NOW! TEAM! MERGE!” The Gourd said, now laying down a carpet of the same logo and guiding The Masqueradians and Team “What”ters to the rug.
“Hey! Wait, they have more members than is allowed…!” Question Mark pointed out. “OH! TRUE! That and…” The Gourd reveals a machine. “Today, SOMEBODY will be rejoining. I’ll reveal it after the teams are finalized!” The Gourd said, causing immediate speculation. “Is it The Colon Duo?” Question Mark said. “Gotta be dad!” Period replied. Mime transformed into Lightning and said “Nope, might be me, Triangula, or Flower though!” Mime now turned back, his legs now broken. “Please let it be Comedy and NOT Hangman.” Phantom sighed. “or Paperplates, that would be bad.” Penta said to him. “LET IT BE STAR!” Heart pushed the two, besides Penta. “He’s GOTTA come back!” Heart begged.
In the commotion, Starry and Cloudy switched to Team FUN! Balancing the teams. “Gasp! StaRRYYYEYEYEYYEYEYÆÆAAAAWEYAYYEYAYAYAYAYA” Sunny squealed and hugged Starry when he saw her. “Glad to see you again too, Sunny.” She pat his head.
“I’d assume teams are formed?” The Gourd said. “YES! Oh! Please just give me STAR already!” Heart begged. “Well, too bad!” The Gourd now opened the door, and everyone closed their eyes from the light.
From it, a Nintendo GameCube floated, before turning erratically and becoming…
“CUBY?!” Everyone screamed.
Cuby brushed his shoulders and now stood sternly. “I decided to give Cuby a second chance! I see alot of potential in him, after all!” The Gourd said, with Cuby walking to Team Merge.
“but… nobody even WANTED him! Who even LIKES him?! This is… this is RIGGED! So unfair!” Heart complained. “Yeah! What about Comedy?” Tragedy complained with her too.
Cuby now slapped the two, flipping Heart off, before sighing and trying to apologize in ASL. “Back off!” Heart said, with Cuby sighing.
“The next challenge is to stay in a Haunted House! The team that is the LAST to scream will be safe! GO!” The Gourd announces, before teleporting both teams into the mansion.
“Wow. He dares to use my mansion? MINE?” Penta says, offended. “Tell me about it.” House said.
“Go away, creepy.” Heart said to Cuby, who sighed and began sketching. “Cuby, what are you doing?” Mime asks, befkre Cuby shows it.
“We should try scaring the other team. Heart can be a warm-up ghoul, I can be the scare tactic, and Penta can be the finishing blow? YEAH!” Mime agrees, before running towards Heart, grabbing her, and beginning to smear make-up all over her. “BLEUGH! EUGH, FUCK!” Heart tries to wipe off the makeup, but only makes it worse. “WHAT IS THIS??” She asks. “Ma keup.” Mime said.
“Eugh! Bleck!” Heart was then thrown out into the open, where Cloudy saw her and said “Ohmygoodness…!” Mime then appeared behind her as Paperplates and said “Hi Cloudy. Come play with me.” Cloudy panicked and flew away swiftly before Penta screeched at her, resulting in her screaming. “CLOUDY IS OUT!” The Gourd says. “Damn it!” Cloudy sighs.
“Listen, Starry? I’ve been thinking for a while and—” Moony paused. “...I should've picked you.” Moony sighs. “...what?” Starry asks, confused. “...Starry, can we..? Y’know?” Moony asks, now with Starry realizing. “OH. OHMYGOODNES, I DON’T— I MEAN I’M HAPPY BUT… YES! OFCOURSE!” Starry happily said, slightly teary-eyed. “Welcome back, Starlette.” Moony said lovingly. Lunartic groaned before bumping into Heart and slamming her into the wall. “FUCKING CHRIST!” Lunartic shouted. “Eugh! What a—” Heart saw her own reflection and SCREAMED. “Heart is out!” The Gourd says, taking Heart out.
Contestant by contestant, people began to scream either because of Cuby’s Plan or because of the traps of the mansion.
It eventually boiled down to Lunartic, Sunny, GyroGyro and Penta.
Penta easily scared Sunny and Lunartic out by screaming at them, but GyroGyro was different. He began to dance and… began to absorb, trap Penta. "出してください、出してください..。” chanted as his soul began trying to trade places with Penta. “およそ200年間閉じ込められ、あなたの器が私を解放するでしょう。出してください、出してください。” Cuby, who had snuck back in, heard and was disturbed, he began writing down what GyroGyro was saying. Eventually, Penta screamed and began trying to resist GyroGyro’s attempts of containing him within his own prison.
Eventually, the switch was complete. The Soul of GyroGyro had been freed, it cackled as it left Penta trapped within the confinement of its Haniwa. Cuby took GyroGyro and left as The Gourd announced— “GYROGYRO HAS ONE FOR THE TEAM! PENTA SCREAMED! TEAM MERGE! SEE YOU AT ELIMINATION!”
“What are you doing?” Phantom asked as Cuby appeared with the Gyroid. Cuby began to scribble. “WHAT?!” Phantom shouted.
Heart looked at the note and sighed— “Good riddance! Honestly, let's just get him out, a two-in-one, no?” Heart said to the lifeless Gyroid. “WE CAN’T DO THAT!” House shouted. “Y’know what, I’m TIRED of her!” House said. “Yeah, me too…” Phantom narrowed his eyes, as everyone made their vote.
AT THE ELIMINATION CEREMONY...
“TEAM MERGE! You're all here tonight because you SCREAMED!” The Gourd said. “NOW! Make your FIRST vote as a new team!”
As planned, Tragedy, Phantom, Mime, House and, although difficult to do so, Penta, trapped within GyroGyro, voted for Heart.
Cuby, however, voted against Phantom.
“CONTESTANTS! …there were just TWO votes that were different from the rest.” The Gourd announced. “Heart, despite voting for Cuby, alongside another person voting against Phantom, you. are. ELIMINATED!” The Gourd said.
“What? This can't be! I– I can't leave! I haven't even–” Heart was swiftly turned into a beating human heart and left to bleed.
“That's the end of this episode!” The Gourd said. “See you next time.” as usual, he cackled as the lights went out.

“20$ for 1 Night~” Heart said as a car pulled up to her. “..hm?” She got a flyer instead. “A wish for anything? ..how… marvelous.”
