I never properly reviewed this, and I apologize deeply. So, this was a pretty eventful chapter, and a great one at that! Alexandra is free of hypnosis, Scott has a safe vote token (that should be good), and RIP TABITHA. RIP MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IN THE STORY. Yvette took her DOWN and that was super satisfying to read. I hope to see more of that Yvette! Williams, wow. I warmed up to him real nicely this chapter. I love me some ruthless characters. I have a feeling he's only going to get better. I still can't believe Casper's gone! I'm gonna miss his and Scott's interactions. There's just something about Scott being an unbearable prick that hits me in all the right places. MY POOR BABY'S CATCHING THE FEELS FOR RAY. Ahhhhh this is so good. He's gonna get so tripped up over this. Ray, if you ever find out, use your powers responsibly!

Vera and Marshall are so cute I ship it. Chloe is amazing as always, I love how she just punts Scott off. She's not about to take your shit Scott!

ughhh, I just love this so much. I am very much excited to see the next chapter!

This was perfect! I thought Will was gonna have a love interest but that's down the drain. Can't wait till next chapter

Oh-ho-ho, was this an eventful chappie! Alexandra is finally out of that feral gag, and Tabitha is eliminated. But guess whose NOT gonna be okay with that?

I smirk as I glance over my shoulder, reaching Marshall's relaxed form on a old furnished couch, looking at a coffee table in front of him in thought.

*Whispering* He's still not sure of the outcomes yet with the Wrathful Ants, because I didn't tell him obviously and is too nervous to leave his seat. But, he seems to be a lot distressed for some reason. Let's go see what's up.

Marshall barely noticed my figure when I walk up to him. Now that I got closer, I see him fiddling with a pencil in his hair, and a book clasped by his other hand.

"What's going on, Marshall?"

"Thinking." He muttered, before he momentarily stopped twiddling with the pencil in his hand and wrote something in his book.

"About?"

"Vera."

I smirk a little. "Ooooo~, I see you. Trying to make a move, finally?"

Marshall blushed angrily, glaring up at me. "No! Urm...well...not yet anyway." He blushed harder, before shaking his head. "I'm just...concluding to something."

"Oh really?" I now perk up.

"Yeah!" He raised his voice. "She's doing all that she can to get Scott out for us, and it hasn't been working! And if he's not out this elimination, I wouldn't know what to do with with myself!" He whined. "But, it would just further my conclusion."

"Of what, exactly?" I press on with more questions, just dumbly replying.

Marshall pulled his eraser had at me with a scowl. "That fucker has people helping him. There is NO way he would've survived already if supposedly the whole team hates him. And if more people keep on getting out on the Ants before the merge BESIDE him, than that risks Vera eventually getting out. Plus, I KNOW Scott knows Vera doesn't like him."

"How?" I ask again.

"Because she's verbal. Like how I'm verbal." He then sighed dreamily. "And I LIKE verbal people..." He trailed off.

I roll my eyes and snap my fingers in his face to awake him from his daydream, which did help when he blinked. "Yeah, your point?"

Marshall growled. "MY POINT, is that she won't have any people left to get rid of him, and because he knows she doesn't like him, he's gonna target her, to spite me too! UGH! He's evil!" He stomped his foot on the ground, clutching at his pencil and nearly snapping it in half.

"So I've been told." I say sarcastically.

"He IS!" He complained. "And what I've noticed today is how off focus I've been. I mean, I helped out the Trouts a lot today that even Ace enjoys my company. And when he tells me about Alexandra, I've realized how much I was just caring about getting rid of Scott. And obviously he knows I hate him to the very core. I just become more predictable!" He pouted in a cute manner.

"Ah, so what are you gonna do about it?" I cross my arms.

"Maybe...just maybe if Vera and I can make it to the merge, we can take him out that way. I'd HATE for him to make it to the merge, but it's the only way this'll work. I'm a trial and error guy, but I'm not stupid. If he's not gone by this elimination, we HAVE to resort to different tactics." He scowled. "He's like a little roach; they don't EVER go away."

I chuckle a little bit at that part, "So what you're saying is...you'll leave Scott alone for now?"

"Hey, I always leave him alone. He just doesn't leave ME alone, which is why he's in this predicament." Marshall now goes back to writing in his book. "I'll work on building more relationships on the Trouts so that they can help me in the long run after the merge, and FINALLY get rid of Scott. Vera doesn't have that luxury being close with both teams. As long as she sticks with me, we'll be safe. Maybe after he's gone, we target the people helping him stay...OR we can target them BEFORE him to leave the guy vulnerable." A smirk started to creep on his face.

I look at Marshall skeptically. "Nice change of maturity. But how would you know whose helping him on the team, Einstein?"

Marshall snorted as if the answer was the most obvious thing in the world. "Easy. Vera's really close to Yvette, so I know Vera can snag her up. Tabitha's a bit of a lost cause...but I DO have some suspicions of Ray from what I know about him already with Scott. Williams is, blah." He rolled his eyes. "I never really liked his attitude, but as long as he has no intentions of keeping Scott around, he's tolerable. So, all Vera and I have to do is keep ourselves from getting voted off, and Scott's a goner."

I nodded at his realization, before I smirk at him, as he started to stand up from the couch. "Are you SURE you're not obsessing over Scott as much as you say you are?"

The male blushed angrily. "'Course I'm not! He bothers EVERYONE, and it's how Casper is voted off right now! What else does he actually contribute other that being a ginormous flirt?!"

"I'm sure he's got a lot to offer if you just sit back, relax, and see how he does in challenges." I explain.

Marshall scoffed, "I don't care about that. I'm on a different team than him, so that doesn't apply to me." He turned his back to me, closed his book with his pencil being like a bookmark in it, and started to walk away.

"But it DOES apply to Vera." I utter, and Marshall stopped his tracks, blushing to himself st the thought of Vera.

His tensed self started to walk again. "If he's not gone, we break away from him until the merge. That's that." And with that, he walks away.

I snicker to myself. "Ah, I love it when he gets defensive."

Hope you enjoyed that snippet! I can't wait for the next chapter! Toodles!

Well done with this chapter! Finally, Alexandra is free from her hypnosis!

i liked everything in your story. I'm upset William is still shipless but i like everything so far

Oh man- this was funny and ingenious- I did think something was really weird here.

I hope you keep this chapter up- it put a big old smile on my face- make the real chapter 11- chapter 12...

You have gotten me excited for the actual chapter:)

Teheheh, this was a rather crazy and fun chapter. I enjoy fake chapters like this everyone once in a while,. and the comedy was pretty good, to be honest. I mean, if it was real, I would be mad... " But as an APril Fools Chapter, I enjoyed it. So thanks!

Duuuuuude, I nearly cried. :'(((( LMAOOOO, you got me SO hard. At first, it was okay...I didn't really notice what was going on and how bizarre it was..but then I see Jacque ACTUALLY have a gun and ACTUALLY shoot Scott, so then I was getting pretty lost. Marshall...removing his bangs...HAHAHA! I was like, "Wait, I don't remember giving him fake bangs like that...losing hair." Towards the end, I was officially lost and just so thrown off my rocker...and then I realized it was an April Fools Prank. I forgot it was April Fools yesterday too, haha! Boooy, did you get me good. Hehe. This chapter was riveting in the sense of hilarity, and I can't wait for the ACTUAL chapter to come out. Take care of your gradual well being, you prankster you! :P

It was crazy. It was like a duality. That was a nice prank chapter right there. I should've seen that once Ace started to act tougher or when Jacque pulled out a gun. Good chapter. The rock hard abs of Yvette was hilarious. This chapter was certainly SENSATIONAL. Hopefully the next chapter comes soon, TIAG.

Man, I gotta admit I actually forgot about this chapter until I checked my email this morning! Ooooh boy you did real good, my sister looked at me and thought I was crying! I was snickering and laughing the whole chapter.

I think my absolute favorite part was "Yvette's rock hard abs". Oh, and Chole's fandom referencing part of her brain being broken.

SCOTT OH MY GOD. He would just worry about his clothes after getting shot. Ah yes, my proud little player. It is only fair you get shot first.

ACE PUSHING TABITHA. That was the part where my sister had to ask if I was crying. Simply beautiful.

I like the little "beings" that exist outside of the story. I assume those are the same voices that Chole heard a few chapters ago?

Great job! I can't wait to the next true chapter.

Aw man! Still, this was a good chapter!

Sorry about the late review.

Again- wow- wow- twists and turns- I can never expect what is going to happen. The Ants are going into a different direction- I like it

tabby on that donkey- loved it :)

Chello, my fabulous comrade! I apologize for not reviewing as much as I have in the last few chapters. But I just want to say that these update were very excellent, and I ADORE having Marshall help out his newly refurbished team so much. :) And JESUS CHRIST. THE MOMENT WHERE HE'S SWITCHED AND THE OTHER TEAM WITH SCOTT AS A TEAM MEMBER LOSES, ONE OF THOSE INSTIGATORS TRYING TO SEND SCOTT HOME GOES HOME! AKA, CASPER.

Marshall snapped his fingers with an angry pout on his face. "The dude dodged a heavy bullet. But, at least I don't have to be losing it for my team anymore. We win, and then the Ants do the rest." He smirked proudly.

Ah, you see? That's the ol' spirit! Made Marshy into a new man since being on this new team. Hehe. Sorry if this isn't the usually lengthy review you wanted from me, but I'm doing one so that you know I'm alive and that I'm constantly reading this story. :D I'm on the lookout for the next update, and I hope you take gradual care of your well being. Au revoir!

*le gasp* CASPER?! NOOO I LOVED CASPER. But serves them right for trying to sabotage their team JUST to vote out Scott! Like come now, being obsessed with the guy isn't going to get you anywhere in the game, and it's doing you no favors. Maybe, he'll get some breathing room again.

AND OMG SCOTT'S BLUSHING DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW BIG OF A DEAL THAT IS HOLY SHIT. Scott is so lucky Ray did not see that, or else Ray would have SO much more power over him. Maybe Scott is attracted to the fact that Ray is taking charge? gahhhhh THIS IS SUCH A BIG DEAL TO ME RIGHT NOW

Ahhh Tabitha, still wonderful as always. She is by far my favorite, and I don't know if that will ever change. Oh Yvette, you will make things right eventually, I know you will. You are too sweet to let things go the way they are, you just need to be less shy!

Vera, sweetheart, I love ya but you seriously need to let this go. Focus on winning the damn game! Thank you Williams for being a sane personality in all of this! And Ray, oh my gosh Ray I love you to pieces, you are doing such a great job on keeping Scott in check (for the most part). But come now, you know how Scott is. He will definitely be throwing himself back into it.

So sorry I didn't review the aftermath, but it was great! Good on Yuki for helping out Yvette! You're still doing a fantastic job as always! Love ya:)

Hmm, sorry I haven't reviewd in a while.. .Great chap as always, I feel bad for Yvette though. Sorry the review isn't great, a bit sad now ,sorry
