Inanimate Insanity 4

(The episode opens with Headphones sitting, not singing anything. The others watch in concern)
Bot: He hasn't spoken a word since it happened.

Magnet: That's concerning. I agree. Even though he isn't doing his annoying singing, I didn't want him to stop

Clover: And even more concerning is how he keeps giving Mic the Cold Shoulder.

Mic: Can you blame him? After learning the truth about himself, he's struggling to come to terms with it.

Lightbulb: Hey, not to change the topic, but has anyone seen Painty? 

(Paintbrush is indeed missing, and not only him. Chem-X can't find Camera, Spookers is missing Sketchbook, OJ is missing from the Super Spies and Doesn't Matter is one member short in Snow Globe. MePhone suddenly warps everyone to a maze)

Taco: What is it? (Turns to see a cage and inside... IS A RABID OJ!) OJ?!

OJ: (Snarls and froths) 

WiiPhone: Hello, idiots. Welcome to Hide and RUN. This challenge is simple. You must survive your infected teammate for a half hour without being caught or you'll be infected. Whoever loses all their teammates before the time is up will be up for elimination. Chop chop!

(A 25 second countdown happens. Everyone runs, well, mostly. Mic is dragging a reluctant Headphones along. As soon as the countdown ends, the cages open, releasing Paintbrush,  Camera,  Sketchbook, OJ and Snow Globe. The 5 contestants run off, growling and snapping)

(With Soundwaves. Headphones and Mic)

Mic: (Dragging Headphones) Come on! Move your legs!

Headphones: ...

Mic: You know what? I'm sick of your silent treatment! Sure, you were a MePhone creation but that doesn't give you the right to give up like that! 

Headphones: You sound like a mom...

Mic: I'm just worried about you.

(Headphones silently sits. Mic sighs)

Mic: If you don't wanna do this, I won't force you. (drops his hand and is about to leave when she is almost jumped by Paintbrush. She is shoved out of the way by Headphones)

Mic: Huh?

Headphones: RUN! (Paintbrush chomps Headphones arm. Mic runs as Headphones groans before losing himself, growling and running after Mic with Paintbrush)

(Chem-X)

Test Tube: (Running with Fan, an infected Candle and Suitcase on their heels) They're gaining!

Fan: Not good! 
(The 2 are about to pounce them when a foot kicks them away)

Bot: Stay away from them!

Test Tube: Bot!

Fan: Why are you helping us? Aren't you on the other team?

Bot: Yeah, but you guys matter more than the challenge to me!

(The 2 smile before running again)

(Super Spies)

Taco: (With Winglet) Are you crazy?!

Winglet: Hey, you wanna make it to the finale? Losing and blaming it on someone else is the best option. 

Taco: But Pickle? Why him? (Taco doesn't know Pickle is listening to her and Winglet conversation) 

Winglet: (Rants, not noticing Taco becoming angrier) Isn't it obvious? He's dumb, dead weight, a loser, a moron and....

Taco: SHUT UP!!! PICKLE IS MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER BE! HE'S KIND, COOL, PUTS OTHERS BEFORE HIMSELF INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON HIS OWN SELFISH DESIRES! I KNOW I MESSED UP WITH HIM! I'LL ADMIT THAT, BUT BLAMING HIM FOR THE LOSS YOU'LL CAUSE IS A LOW MOVE EVEN FOR ME! YOU'RE SELFISH, ONLY CARE ABOUT VICTORY AND SEE EVERYONE ELSE AS AN OBSTACLE INSTEAD OF A FRIEND! WINGLET, CONSIDER THIS ALLIANCE OVER!!!

(Winglet gapes in shock at Taco's outburst before flying off in a huff)

Winglet: Fine! Let's see how you'll fare without me!

(Taco watches before Pickle steps before her)

Taco: Pickle, I... (Is suddenly stopped when Pickle hugged her) Pickle?

Pickle: I never thought you felt that way. (Smiles softly) What do you say? How about we start over? Clean slate?

Taco: (Smiles before saying something she hasn't said in ages) SOWA CREAM!! 

Pickle: (Laughs) I'll take that as a yes. 

(The 2 embrace, not noticing the infected Volleyball attack  them)

(Soon, the timer goes off, everyone is warped out and uninfected. The infected contestants are placed aside to see who has the least amount of teammates. Out of all the teams, Super Spies only has Winglet left)

MePhone: And with that, the Super Spies have lost the challenge. See you at elimination.

(Confessional: Winglet)

Winglet: Oh, Taco is going to regret doing that...

(At the Elimination Zone)

MePhone: You all cast your vote, and we'll see who'll be leaving. MePad?

MePad: First Vote, Winglet. (Winglet scowls upon seeing Taco and Pickle smirks) Taco. Pickle. Taco. Pickle. That's one vote Winglet, 2 votes Taco, 2 Votes Pickle, 1 vote left. (Flashes before displaying) Pickle. 
Volleyball: So, Pickle's eliminated?

MePhone: Not just him, because tonight is a double elimination, meaning Taco is also out!

(Pickle and Taco look at each other, at first surprised, before smiling)

Pickle: Eh, who needs a million anyways?

Taco: Yeah, our friendship matters more. 

Knife: (Heads over to the 2) Well, looks like you 2 patched things up finally. 

(Pickle and Taco nod before taking each others hands and stepping onto the Loser Flinger, which does it's job and the 2 are flung off with a scream)

MePhone: And with that, a reconciled duo is flung away! Who out of the remaining 36 will be next to go? Find out next time on INANIMATE INSANITY SEASON 4!!!

(Scene shows a familiar, egg shaped ship heading to Inanimate Island.)

Prime Shimmer: We have almost reached our destination. Prepare to enter orbit. 

With that, Taco and Pickle are both friends again but both are gone. What would you like to see happen next? See you next time!
