Take The Plunge (BFDI)

## Summary (Both Parts)

Both parts of Take The Plunge make up the first episode of Battle For Dream Island (BFDI for short). There are two challenges in the separate parts, one is to stay on top of a balance beam and the other is to create a boat and break the ribbon at the finish line. The episode was made using Macromedia Flash 8 (also known as Adobe Flash)

## Part A Plot

The episode starts with Pencil and Match talking about Flower's fear of bugs. Then, a flashback of Flower asking Ice Cube if Ice Cube believes that Flower is beautiful and when Ice Cube says "no.." Flower kicks her and after it ends, Ice Cube talks about getting revenge on Flower. Ice Cube then unintentionally pops Bubble. After Bubble gets out of the Bubble Recovery Center, she is nearly popped again by Pin. It is then revealed that it is not Pin's fault, but Blocky's. Blocky then "gets" Needle, and attempts to pop her AGAIN. Blocky explains that he is "...just in the mood to hurt someone." and then kicks Woody, which Teardrop also does and Tennis Ball scolds her for it, explaining that "Kicking Woody could severely injure him. He is Balsa." While Woody is flying through the sky, we see Snowball gliding as well. After Woody lands, he is slightly broken leading to a loud scream which the fellow "soon to be" contestants complain about. Pen and Eraser are introduced in this scene as well. Snowball, still gliding, collides into a nearby mountain and sees Rocky. (Who is apparently asleep....?) Snowball sighs while throwing Rocky who hits Tennis Ball. Spongy, Fiery, and Coiny are shown in one scene with Coiny and Fiery slapping each other while Spongy....uh....does something...but Golf Ball bosses the three around. Blocky complains about Golf Ball to his friends and Eraser proclaims that Golf Ball is a "bossy-bot" and the others are confused. Eraser re-phrases it twice and then gives up saying that he would do anything to stay away from GB. (While listing other contestants he is not fond of.) Then, Announcer comes down from the sky to tell the others about an island of luxury, which is creatively (sarcasm) named "Dream Island" When people cannot agree on who should win it, Announcer says that it will be settled with a contest.

### The Contest

The contest is explained by Announcer when he says "So yes, whoever stays on the bar longest wins." Leafy and Pin instantly form an alliance and Coiny is shown asking Blocky as to what he's doing. Spongey falls off near instantly due to his obesity, and Flower pushes many contestants off the board saying that she needs her space. Leafy falls off and Pin catches her. A sound effect that simply says "Snatch!" with an echo begins to play when Pin pulls Leafy up. Bubble, Match, and Pencil form an alliance and Ice Cube tries to join but is denied by Pencil after pushing the just formed alliance off the bar. Ice Cube also pushes Pen off the bar as well. (Ice Cube is pretty bad in this series by the way...) Blocky accidentally pushes Coiny off, and the Final ^ are revealed. (Final 6 are Flower, Leafy, Pin, Blocky, Teardrop, and Rocky.) Leafy and Pin form a plan to push Flower off and Flower notices, kicking them into the air. Pin and Leafy then crash into TD (Teardrop) with the three grabbing onto each other. But Leafy says "I can't" and asks for Blocky's help. Blocky comes asking "What is it?" but is accidentally stepping on Leafy. Rocky then pulls them up after almost dropping them all. Flower is also wearing non-slip shoes...."so hah!" Flower grabs onto Pin to not lose but Pin licks her, so Flower instinctively pulls off and loses. Leafy accidentally steps on Blocky, making him fall off. The final four are then revealed to be TD, Leafy, Pin, and Rocky. TD pushes Rocky off, but falls to the water with Rocky. Then Leafy and Pin play a game of Rock Paper Scissors to see who will win and Pin wins saying that "Scissors beats paper. I get to push you off!" Leafy is then annoyed, saying that it is not fair. Pin tries to convince Leafy by saying that she will let Leafy on the island but Leafy STILL does not agree. Pin says that only one of them can win. (While using her middle finger instead of her pointer, which Leafy points out.) But Announcer lets Pin know that both of them will win the prize of being team captains. The team captains to a "...much larger, longer battle to win Dream Island." And the second part starts.
