Faet

## Opening

**Clinko:** Hello, everyone! I am Clinko, the chicken CEO and founder of Clinko Industries. You may know us as the leading provider of a wide range of products in just about everything in Pendleberry, from doll shampoo to film reels. As the head of this company, I have worked tirelessly to build it into the successful enterprise it is today. And now, I am excited to announce the launch of our new television program: the Corporate Dream Tour.

*Clinko hops off his stool and turns to face the twenty-one contestants, all couped up inside a bus, his expression stern.*

**Clinko:** These contestants will be competing in challenges to help spread the reach and influence of Clinko products all across the country. We want to showcase the superiority of our products and demonstrate to the world why they should choose Clinko. Each episode, we will eliminate one contestant until only three remain. The winner will receive a lifetime supply of all our products, but more importantly, they will have the opportunity to become a part of the Clinko team and help us conquer the market.

*Clinko pauses, his eyes scanning the contestants as he speaks.*

**Clinko:** Make no mistake, this is not a game. This is a competition to determine who has what it takes to succeed in the cutthroat world of business. Only the strongest and most ruthless will survive. But for those who do, the rewards will be great. Without further ado, let's meet our contestants and begin the journey to corporate success!

*As the bus doors open, catastrophe strikes. Neon Grassy, a calm but excitable flying atom, tries to hover above the fray, but C and Comic Book, an easily annoyed jock and a young teen who loves and wants to be a superhero, respectively, both try to rush off the bus at the same time and end up tripping over each other. Cat Bell, a cat girl who uses a Translator to speak, also tries to rush off the bus and ends up tripping over C and Comic Book, who are still sprawled on the ground.*

**C:** Watch where you're going!

**Cat Bell:** Sorry, sorry! My translator must have malfunctioned.

**C:** What does *that* have to do with anything?

**Comic Book:** It's okay giant letter guy, we're all just a little excited.

**Neon Grassy:** I'm gonna try and ignore all this. My name is Neon Grassy!

**Clinko:** What is this, a circus? Get yourselves together! This is not how you were supposed to come in. This is the Corporate Dream Tour, not some childish game. If you can't even manage to introduce yourselves without tripping over each other, how do you expect to succeed in the challenges ahead?

*Cat Bell, Comic Book, and C all pick themselves up, C crossing his arms annoyed.*

**Clinko:** Good. Now, let's try this again, without recreating a scene from the Three Stooges.

**Comic Book:** Greetings, fellow competitors! I am Comic Book, and I am here to prove myself as a true superhero. I will not be afraid to take on any challenge that comes my way.

**C:** Yeah? Well, I'll bet you twenty bucks that I win this whole thing.

**Comic Book:** Challenge accepted, C. I accept your bet and I am confident that I will emerge victorious. My powers of determination and perseverance will not be denied.

**Clinko:** That's the spirit, Comic Book. But remember, this is not a game. These challenges will test your skills and determination, and it is important to approach them with a serious mindset.

*Comic Book nods, still looking proud and confident. Cat Bell hurries off to join the others, still looking a little flustered. The next group of contestants disembarks from the bus. The first one is Paperclip Snake, who can't get down the stairs due to not having feet. Paper Lantern, who can fly, quickly comes to his aid and carries him off the bus.*

**Paperclip Snake:** Thank you, Paper Lantern. You're always so helpful.

*Pearly quickly and nervously walks off the bus as well, followed by Keychain, who partially gets caught on the railing due to his magnetic tail. After a bit of struggling, he manages to free himself and join the others. Clinko watches the scene with a mixture of amusement and relief.*

**Clinko:** Good job, Paperclip Snake and Paper Lantern. At least you two managed to get off the bus without falling. Now, Paperclip Snake, why don't you introduce yourself to the group?

*Paperclip Snake nods and hurries off to join the others, as well as Paper Lantern. Pearly steps forward, looking a little anxious.*

**Pearly:** Hi, everyone. My name is Pearly and, um, do I have to be on the same team as Cat Bell? I'm allergic to cats, you see.

*Cat Bell looks offended at Pearly's comment and crosses her arms over her chest.*

**Cat Bell:** Excuse me, but I am more than just a cat. I am an object, and I deserve to be treated with respect.

**Pearly:** Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I just have allergies, that's all.

*Cat Bell rolls her eyes and turns away, still looking annoyed.*

**Clinko:** Alright, Pearly, that's enough. Join the other contestants now.

*Pearly nods and quickly hurries off to join the others, looking a little sheepish. Keychain steps forward, looking a little tired from his struggle to free himself from the railing.*

**Keychain:** Hey, everyone. My name is Keychain and, as you can see, I have a bit of a magnetic personality.

*Clinko looks at Keychain skeptically.*

**Clinko:** Your small size may hinder your performance in the challenges.

**Keychain:** That's where you're wrong, Clinko. My size might be small, but it gives me an advantage. I'll be able to fit into tight spaces and get the job done better than anyone else. Just wait and see, I'll prove you wrong when I win this competition.

*Clinko raises an eyebrow but says nothing, still looking unconvinced. The next group of contestants disembarks from the bus. Candy Paint is the first to run off, followed by a swarm of bees. Gucci Flip Flop, her best friend, and Beehive, the owner of the bees, are both trying to stop her. Candy Paint manages to stop running rather quickly, panting heavily.*

**Candy Paint:** Geez, these bees are relentless. And this paint is really slowing me down.

**Gucci Flip Flop:** Candy Paint, are you okay?

**Candy Paint:** Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for trying to help, Gucci.

*Flavored Milk Straw is the last one to come off the bus, looking a little regretful.*

**Flavored Milk Straw:** God. I can't believe I let myself join this competition. I'm not cut out for this kind of thing.

**Clinko:** Don't worry, Flavored Milk Straw. Everyone here was forced to join.

*Beehive walks away, as does Candy Paint, Gucci Flip Flop, and Flavored Milk Straw. Flamingo Plush proudly stomps off the bus, a determined look on her face.*

**Flamingo Plush:** Just watch, I'll dominate this competition. No one can stop me.

*Yoylebook cuts Flamingo Plush off, a confident look on his face.*

**Yoylebook:** Tarnation! My aunt Yoylepop was right, this flashy place is nothing like the countryside.

**Flamingo Plush:** How dare you cut me off like that! I'll show you who's boss in this competition.

*Octagon walks off the bus, a look of annoyance on his face.*

**Octagon:** Brown Kind of Flower, what is with your clothes? They're so strange.

**Brown Kind of Flower:** Excuse me, but I don't appreciate being judged based on my appearance.

**Octagon:** Well, maybe if you dressed more normally, people wouldn't judge you.

**Brown Kind of Flower:** That's a ridiculous and narrow-minded way of thinking.

**Clinko:** Alright, that's enough. All of you, join the other contestants now.

*Flamingo Plush, Yoylebook, Octagon, and Brown Kind of Flower reluctantly nod and hurry off to join the others. Daisy Flower, a kind hippie, is deep in conversation with Milkshake as they disembark from the bus.*

**Daisy Flower:** Your aura is just radiating with positive energy today, Milkshake. It's really inspiring.

**Milkshake:** Thanks, Daisy Flower. I try to focus on the good things in life and let that shine through.

*Doggie Bone pushes past them, dragging Maybe along behind him.*

**Doggie Bone:** Come on, Maybe. You can't just sit on the bus all day.

**Maybe:** I don't feel like doing anything.

**Doggie Bone:** Ha, that's classic Maybe. Always the party pooper.

**Maybe:** I don't even know who you are.

**Clinko:** Alright, that's enough. All of you, join the other contestants now.

*Daisy Flower, Milkshake, Doggie Bone, and Maybe nod and hurry off to join the others. Clinko looks relieved to see that they are the last contestants.*

**Clinko:** Finally, the last group. Milkshake, I see you have some sentient hairpins.

*Milkshake smiles and gestures to Strawberry, who waves at Clinko.*

**Milkshake:** Yes, this is Strawberry. She's my most beloved hairpin. She may talk one day, but not yet.

**Clinko:** Interesting. Well, thank you for introducing yourselves. You may join the other contestants now. …well, it looks like we have all of the contestants now. I'm glad we don't have to deal with any more stragglers.

*Suddenly, a voice speaks up from thin air.*

**Oxygen:** Wait, what about me?

*Clinko looks around, with a confused expression on his face.*

**Clinko:** Who said that?

**Oxygen:** It's me, Oxygen. I'm invisible.

**Clinko:** Invisible? How is that possible?

**Oxygen:** It's a long story. Can I introduce myself now?

**Clinko:** (sighing) Fine, go ahead.

**Oxygen:** Hi, my name is Oxygen and I'm an invisible being. It can be a bit of a burden at times, but it also has its advantages.

**Clinko:** (skeptically) Right. Well, thank you for introducing yourself. You may join the other contestants now.

*Oxygen would look disappointed… if you could see him, but nods and disappears from view, joining the others.*

## Power of Teams

**Clinko:** (frustrated) Is that everyone? Is there anyone else I need to deal with?

**Oxygen:** No, I think that's everyone.

**Clinko:** (sighing) Finally. Alright, contestants, listen up. This is how the competition is going to work. Each episode, you will be competing in challenges to help spread the reach and influence of Clinko products all across the country. At the end of each episode, one contestant will be eliminated until only three remain. The winner will receive a lifetime supply of all our products.

**Contestants:** (excited chatter)

**Clinko:** (holding up his phone) And to decide the teams, I will be using this random wheel app on my phone. (starts spinning the wheel)

*The contestants watch with anticipation as the wheel slows down and finally stops on a contestant.*

**Clinko:** And the first team is... Team 1, with Comic Book! Comic Book, you're on Team 1.

**Comic Book:** (proudly) Yes! I knew I'd be a valuable asset to my team.

**Clinko:** (spinning the wheel again) And the second team is... Team 2. More specifically, Gucci Flip Flop, you're on Team Red.

**Gucci Flip Flop:** (excitedly) Yes! I can't wait to show off my skills in the challenges.

**Clinko:** (spinning the wheel again) And the third team is... Team 3! Paper Lantern, you're on Team 3.

**Paper Lantern:** (nervously) Oh dear, I hope I can live up to the team's expectations.

**Clinko:** (spinning the wheel again) And the fourth team is... wait we’re back to Team 1! C, you're on Team 1.

*C stares at his teammate, Comic Book, and sighs.*

**C:** (frustrated) Great, just what I needed. More incompetent teammates.

*We cut to 17 minutes later, when all three of the teams are formed. They are:*

* **Team 1** - C, Cat Bell, Comic Book, Doggie Bone, Neon Grassy, Octagon, Yoylebook
* **Team 2** - Brown Kind of Flower, Candy Paint, Daisy Flower, Flamingo Plush, Gucci Flip Flop, Keychain, Milkshake
* **Team 3** - Beehive, Flavored Milk Straw, Maybe, Oxygen, Paperclip Snake, Paper Lantern, Pearly

**Comic Book:** (excitedly) Okay guys, I have an idea. Let's rename our team "The Paperback Powers"!

**C:** (rolling his eyes) You've got to be kidding me. That's the worst team name I've ever heard.

**Doggie Bone:** I think it's cute!

**Neon Grassy:** (calmly) I don't really care what the team name is, as long as we win.

**Octagon:** (sarcastically) Yes, because clearly the name is the most important part of the competition.

**Cat Bell:** (politely) Can we just focus on the challenges for now? The team name isn't that important.

**Clinko:** (overhearing the argument, sarcastically) Oh good, I'm glad you all have your priorities in order. (rolling his eyes) Just make sure to be at the starting location tomorrow at 9AM sharp. (walking away)

**Flamingo Plush:** (excitedly) I think our team should be called the Berserker Blits! It's strong and fierce, just like us.

**Candy Paint:** (determinedly) No way. We should be the Rainbow Riders. It's colorful and fun, just like our personalities.

**Milkshake:** (calmly) How about we combine the two and be the Rainbow Berserkers?

**Flamingo Plush:** (shocked) What? That doesn't even make sense.

**Candy Paint:** (equally shocked) Yeah, that's ridiculous.

**Brown Kind of Flower:** (casually) I don't really care what the team name is. As long as we win, that's all that matters to me.

**Keychain:** (aggressively) Yeah, I agree. We need to focus on the competition, not silly things like team names.

**Gucci Flip Flop:** (nervously) Uh, do you think this dual leadership is going to be a problem?

**Daisy Flower:** Oh, it's best not to worry about things like that. Just go with the flow, man.

**Oxygen:** (sighing) Great, I'm the last one again. Just my luck.

**Paperclip Snake:** (kindly) Oh, don't worry about it. We're just glad to have you on our team.

**Paper Lantern:** (nervously) Yeah, we're all in this together.

**Beehive:** (determinedly) That's right. We need to focus on the competition, not how we were chosen for the teams.

**Flavored Milk Straw:** (annoyed) Yeah, well, I still don't know why I'm here. But at least the rest of you seem okay.

**Maybe:** (bored) Eh, I'm just here for the ride.

**Pearly:** (nervously) Yeah, me too.

**Paper Lantern:** So, what should we call ourselves?

**Paperclip Snake:** (excitedly) I know! How about "The Crouton Enjoyers"? We all like croutons, right?

**Team 3:** (in unison, minus Oxygen) (excitedly) Yeah!

**Oxygen:** (sarcastically) Great, just what I needed. A team name that doesn't even include me. (sighing) I don't even like croutons.

## The name of the episode

**Doggie Bone:**Hey, Clinko. What did you mean by "starting location tomorrow at 9AM sharp"?

**Yoylebook:** Yeah, we need to know what to expect.

**Clinko:** (smirking) Ah, yes. Well, I've arranged for each team to have their own ClinkaRV. It's the ultimate mode of transportation for the competition.

**Flamingo Plush:** (shocked) We have to drive ourselves?

**C:** (determinedly) That's not a problem. I'm a great driver.

**Beehive:** (excitedly) This is perfect! It'll be great for team bonding.

**Clinko:** (turning to the camera) And don't forget, each ClinkaRV comes equipped with a state-of-the-art GPS system, so you'll never get lost on your way to the next location. (winking)

*The contestants slowly walk away from Clinko, who is still looking dead at the camera, and towards the ClinkaRV’s. Inside the Berserkers RV…*

**Flamingo Plush:** (sniffing) Mmm, this RV smells like it can drive REALLY fast.

**Brown Kind of Flower:** (disgusted) Gross. How can you tell?

**Gucci Flip Flop:** (impressed) Nah man, that’s actually impressive.

*Inside the Croutons’ RV, where Clinko is standing…*

**Neon Grassy:** (excitedly) Hey, Clinko. What's the horsepower on these RVs?

**Clinko:** (smirking) Sorry, I have no idea.

**Neon Grassy:** (disappointed) Oh.

*Inside the Croutons’ RV…*

**Paperclip Snake:** (nervously) Wait a minute. None of us have our driver's licenses. How are we supposed to drive these things?

**Maybe:** (bored) I don't have a permit, but I will. No problem.

*Everyone looks at Maybe with a face of concern. We cut to the staging location, where Clinko is standing in front of the RVs.*

**Clinko:** (into walkie talkie) Alright, contestants. Time to hit the road. Remember, you'll need plenty of time to rest and prepare for the challenge at the next location.

*We cut into the RV of the Powers. C has his hands on the wheel, and Neon Grassy is reading an instruction manual.*

**Neon Grassy:** Oh I doubt these things will get that kind of mileage.

**Clinko:** On your mark…

*We cut into the RV of the Berserkers. Flamingo Plush has her hands on the wheel.*

**Keychain:** Um, Flamingo Plush? Do you actually know how to drive?

**Clinko:** Get set…

*We cut into the RV of the Croutons. Maybe has his hands on the wheel, and Paperclip Snake seems to be writing his will on a typewriter.*

**Clinko:** (into walkie talkie) 3 2 1 GO!

*All 3 RVs start up at the same time, charging at Clinko.*

**Clinko:** (jumping out of the way, yelling) Look out!

*Clinko watches the RVs take off, before walking into a private jet. There, his daughter, Clarissa, is waiting for him.*

**Clinko:** (smirking) Ah, nothing like a little bit of competition to get the blood pumping.

**Clarissa:** (excitedly) So, where are we going, Mr. Clinko?

**Clinko:** (winking) Now, now, Claire. I can't spoil the surprise for the viewers.

**Clarissa:** (nodding) M-my name is Clari- Right, I understand.

**Clinko:** (smirking) Don't worry, my dear. It'll be a trip you won't forget.

—

*We cut back inside the RV of the Berserkers. Flamingo Plush is looking ahead.*

**Flamingo Plush:** (excitedly) Look, I see that Crouton team’s RV up ahead! I'm going to try and catch up to them.

**Candy Paint:** (nervously) Are you sure that's a good idea? The GPS says to stay on the highway.

**Flamingo Plush:** (determined) Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

**Gucci Flip Flop:** (alarmed) Flamingo, be careful! You don't want to risk damaging the RV.

**Flamingo Plush:** (confident) Don't worry, I've got this.

**Keychain:** (anxious) I don't know, this doesn't seem safe.

**Brown Kind of Flower:** (frustrated) Flamingo, listen to your teammates and stay on the highway.

**Flamingo Plush:** (determined) No way. I'm not going to let Team Crouton win that easily.

*Despite the protests of her teammates, Flamingo Plush veers off the highway and onto a dirt road, determined to beat the Croutons to the finish line. As the RV bounces and jolts over the rough terrain, the other members of Team Berserker hold on tight and pray for a safe arrival at their destination.*

**Gucci Flip Flop:** (trying to start a conversation) Hey, have either of you guys ever tried skateboarding? I used to go to the park all the time when I was younger. Oh wait, no! Rapping. It’s the best.

**Keychain:** (trying to be polite) Eh, not really. But I’d like to try.

**Brown Kind of Flower:** (disgusted) Ew, I can't stand either. Too much dirt and grime.

**Gucci Flip Flop:** (trying to find common ground) Oh, okay. Well, how about eating competitions? I heard about this one guy who ate a whole pizza in under a minute.

**Brown Kind of Flower:** (even more disgusted) Gross! I could never do something like that.

**Keychain:** (thoughtfully) I could probably give it a try. As long as it's not anything too gross.

**Gucci Flip Flop:** (deflated) Oh, okay. I guess we don't have that much in common then.

**Brown Kind of Flower:** (trying to salvage the conversation) But. Um, have you ever tried graphic design? I've been dabbling in it for a while now.

**Keychain:** (interested) Oh, I love graphic design! I've always been fascinated by the way you can use images and text to convey a message.

As Keychain and Brown Kind of Flower start chatting with each other, Gucci Flip Flop sinks back into his seat, feeling left out.

**Candy Paint:** (trying to cheer Gucci Flip Flop up) Don't worry about it, Gucci. You can always talk to me and Milkshake about your rap career. We're always happy to listen.

**Gucci Flip Flop:** (grateful) Th-thanks, Candy. I appreciate it.

*Meanwhile, Flamingo Plush is focused on the road ahead, determined to catch up to the other teams and come out on top in the competition.*

**Flamingo Plush:** (to herself) We can't let those other teams get ahead of us. I'll do whatever it takes to make sure our team comes out on top.

*As they approach a fork in the road, Flamingo Plush makes a sudden turn, taking them off the beaten path and onto a bumpy dirt road. The other members of the team cry out in surprise as they bounce around in the RV, but Flamingo Plush remains focused on her goal.*

**Candy Paint:** (scared) Flamingo, what are you doing?!

**Flamingo Plush:** (determined) We're taking a shortcut. It'll get us to the next location faster.

*Despite the protests of her teammates, Flamingo Plush continues down the dirt road, determined to catch up to the other teams and come out on top in the competition. However, the only other person who seems to not be yelling is Daisy Flower, keeping a quiet eye on Gucci Flip Flop, she seems concerned about his inability to connect with the other members of the team. We cut to where the*

**Neon Grassy:** (excitedly) Wow, this RV is amazing! I've never seen a TV this big before, and the reclining chairs are so comfortable! Though I wonder about the prices to maintain them…

**Yoylebook:** (excitedly) Can I try it out? I haven't seen one of these remotes since my great uncle Yoylefork invented the reclining chair.

**Neon Grassy:** Sure, go ahead.

*As Neon Grassy hands Yoylebook the remote, Yoylebook fumbles with the remote, and he accidentally presses a button extending the leg rests, that sends Cat Bell tripping, causing her to fall onto Doggie Bone's lap, making them both shout out in surprise. C, who is driving the RV, turns around and glares at them.*

**C:** (annoyed) Will you guys shut up? We're getting close to a bridge and we don't need to draw any more attention to ourselves.

**Yoylebook:** (sheepishly) Sorry, I didn't mean to cause any trouble.

**Cat Bell:** It's okay, it was just an accident.

**Yoylebook:** (walks over to Cat Bell) Allow me to help you up, madam. (helps her up)

**Cat Bell:** (quietly greets Doggie Bone) Hey.

**Yoylebook:** (to Cat Bell) Do you two know each other?

**Cat Bell:** (quietly) Yeah, we know each other too well.

**Doggie Bone:** (nervously laughs) Yeah, that's right.

**Yoylebook:** (oblivious) Oh, well it's nice to meet you both. (starts to walk away)

**C:** (sighs) Whatever man, but if you two cause any trouble, you're out.

**Comic Book:** (pats C on the shoulder) Don't worry, we'll be the best teammates ever!

*Comic Book jumps into the air, and tumbles back into the cabin, startling C.*

**C:** Okay okay, now sit down. We don’t need to get into a car accident!

**Neon Grassy:** I don’t have legs.

**Octagon:** (overhears the conversation and rolls his eyes) Great, more scheming. When will these guys realize that this isn't some game?

**Octagon:** Hey, Yoylebook. Did you hear what they were saying? We shouldn't be forming alliances already.

**Yoylebook:** (snoring loudly)

**Octagon:** (frustrated) Great. Now I have to deal with your snoring too. (turns to the others) Don't mind him.

**Comic Book:** (reassuringly) Don't worry, Octagon. We'll win this competition. We just need to stick together.

**C:** (rolling his eyes) Let's just focus on getting to the next location safely. No more schemes or alliances or whatever Octagon is complaining about.

*The team falls silent, continuing on their journey to the next location. We go to*

**Pearly:** (nervously) Maybe, are you sure you can handle driving this thing? I don't want to end up in a ditch.

**Maybe:** (nonchalantly) Yeah, I've got it. Just relax, Pearly.

**Paperclip Snake:** (calmly) Pearly, we just need to focus on the task at hand. We can do this.

*In the back of the RV, Flavored Milk Straw is sitting with Paper Lantern, who is nervously looking out the window.'*

**Paper Lantern:** (nervously) Do you think we'll win?

**Flavored Milk Straw:** (shrugs) Honestly, I don't care as much about the competition as the others do. I'm just happy to be here.

**Paperclip Snake:** (looking out the window) I think we've lost them.

**Oxygen:** (annoyed) Yeah, because we've been off road for the past half hour.

**Maybe:** (trying to reassure Pearly) Hey, at least you could have had a worse driver.

*Suddenly, the RV comes to a screeching halt, causing everyone to jolt forward. Maybe curses under his breath, explaining that he had to brake for a squirrel that ran out in front of them. They hear a loud honk coming from the blue team's RV, which is parked right behind them. C sticks his head out the window and yells at them to hurry up, causing the Croutons to groan in frustration. Paperclip Snake tries to start a conversation with Flavored Milk Straw, who is sitting quietly in the back of the RV.*

**Paperclip Snake:** So, Flavored Milk Straw, tell me about yourself. What do you like to do in your free time?

**Flavored Milk Straw:** (flatly) Not much, really. I just like to relax and unwind.

**Paperclip Snake:** (trying to be friendly) Oh, that's cool. Do you have any hobbies or interests?

**Flavored Milk Straw:** (shrugs) Not really. I just like to keep things simple.

*Despite Paperclip Snake's attempts at conversation, Flavored Milk Straw remains disinterested and doesn't contribute much to the conversation. Eventually, Paperclip Snake gives up and sits quietly, feeling a bit discouraged. The rest of the ride is spent in relative silence, with the only sounds being the hum of the RV's engine and the occasional honk from the blue team's RV behind them.*

**Paper Lantern:** Why Powers follow us like that?

**Beehive:** I dunno. They probably have some idea of what they’re doing though.

*Inside the ClinkaRV of the Powers…*

**Neon Grassy:** (puzzled) Hey C, why are we following the Croutons so closely? I thought we were trying to find the shortest route to our destination.

**C:** (shrugs) I have no idea, I'm just following the GPS. Maybe we'll catch up to them if they end up taking a detour or something.

**Yoylebook:** (waking up) What's going on? Why are we following the Croutons?

**Octagon:** (sarcastically) Oh great, Yoylebook's awake. Now the fun can really begin.

**Comic Book:** (excitedly) Ooh, maybe we can team up and take them down!

*C rolls his eyes at Comic Book's enthusiasm and focuses on the road ahead, determined to get to their destination as quickly and efficiently as possible.*

*As the sun begins to set, the Private Jet finally arrives at their first destination: Poni Island, a Coney Island-like amusement park filled with carnival games and rides. Clinko greets the passerby with his usual enthusiasm, though he seems a bit flustered.*

**Clinko:** Sorry for the delay, we spent a bit too much time on character introductions. You know how it is, hour long episodes and all.

**Clarissa:** (calmly) Actually, Dad, we could turn this into a two-parter. That way we can focus on the challenges and really get to know the contestants.

**Clinko:** (brightening) Oh, Clemmy, that's a great idea! (realizes his mistake) I mean, Clarissa. Sorry about that.

*Clinko turns to the camera and gives a wink.*
