Take the plunge

"Well, everybody, they are building the island of luxury. It's called Dream Island." -Announcer

Take the plunge is the first episode of battle for dream island. It was released on YouTube on January 1st, 2010. Due to the episode being longer than 10 minutes, it had to be split into two parts.

The contest for the first part is to stay on a balance beam, while the second part is to build a boat and sail across the Goiky canal.

Next: Barriers and pitfalls

## Part 1

### Beginning

The series starts with Match talking to Pencil about Flower going crazy about a little bug. Pencil comments how Flower is really afraid of bugs. Match replies "Well, yeah. Flower think's she's so fabulous." She then remembers how Flower asked Ice cube if she was beautiful. It then shows a flashback where Flower asks Ice cube if she looks beautiful. Ice cube denies, to which Flower kicks her. The flashback ends, and Ice cube appears, saying how she remembers it. She then comments how she'll get revenge on Flower and how she cannot believe that she thinks everyone will be her servants, which annoys Match and Pencil. She also says she is glad that her, Match, and Pencil are friends, and same with Bubble. Ice cube brings her and gets a little too close to Bubble, which pops her. She gets recovered but nearly gets popped by Pin, being held by Blocky. Pin kicks Blocky which causes her to fly off and him to land on the ground. Blocky grabs Needle and almost pops Bubble again, which makes her mad. He claims "he's just in the mood to hurt someone" and kicks Woody, who was right behind him. Woody lands right behind Teardrop and Leafy, who tells Woody to get up because "there's a life out there to enjoy, so enjoy it!" Teardrop kicks him away because Woody was annoying her, but Tennis ball tells her to calm down because Woody could get severely injured, because he is made out of balsa. It cuts to Woody flying through the air with Snowball on a hang glider. Woody lands on Rocky and, unfortunately, chips a piece of wood. Woody sees this and screams very loud. It cuts to Eraser and Pen covering their "ears". Eraser comments how he can't believe what a scaredy-cat Woody is and that he's so uncool. He then remarks that Pen is cool and Pen says that Eraser is cool too. Snowball is still flying on the hang glider, until he crashes into the top of a mountain. He walks down and encounters Rocky, who wakes up and greets Snowball, only for him to throw Rocky. While flying, he lands on Tennis ball and greets him too. It cuts to Spongy, who Firey and Coiny are on top of. Firey calls Coiny dumb and Coiny slaps him. He says that Firey is so easy to slap and slaps him a whole bunch. Golf ball tells them to stop fighting and Spongy to take a bath because he's stinky. Blocky tells Eraser if Golf ball is bossy. Eraser agrees and calls her a bossy bot. Nobody understands. Eraser tries to explain but still nobody gets it. Eraser says he'd do anything to get away from her, or Flower, or Woody, or Spongy. Suddenly, Announcer comes in and tells Eraser that he's in luck. Eraser asks how and Announcer explains that they are building a island of luxury and explains the details of it. Eraser asks how much it costs and Announcer says that it's free. Eraser says he'll take it but Announcer says other people might want it. He says that he wouldn't give up the island for anything. Announcer says that "we'll just have to settle it with a challenge."

### Challenge

Announcer explains that whoever says on the Balance beam the longest wins. Leafy and Pin agree to help each other. Blocky does a weird pose and Coiny wonders what he's doing, while Spongy falls off the beam. Flower pushes Tennis ball, Eraser, Woody, Firey, Golf ball, Needle, and Leafy off the beam because she needs her "space." While Leafy is falling, she tells Pin to help her. Pin grabs and rescues Leafy. Bubble, Match and Pencil form an alliance. Ice cube hears this and quickly runs to them asking if she can join, knocking Pen off on the way. She accidently knocks the alliance off, along with Snowball, so Pencil denies her request. Meanwhile, Coiny shakes Blocky to wake up and accidently makes him fall off. Blocky hangs onto the balance beam and swings all the way around it, pushing Coiny off. Leafy tells Pin that Flower is still in. Pin suggests that they run her over. While running towards her, Flower kicks the both of them and they go flying. They land on Teardrop and all hang to the bottom of the balance beam. Leafy isn't able to pull up. Blocky tries to help them, only to hang on to the balance beam too. Flower exclaims that she has "Non-slip shoes so ha." Blocky knocks Flower off and she grabs on to Pin. Pin tries to lick her, making Flower fall off. Teardrop and Pin jump back onto the balance beam, but Leafy reminds her that they're still in a alliance and Pin grabs her back onto the beam. While Leafy is on the beam, she accidently steps on Blocky, who is still hanging. She then lets go and makes Blocky fall off by accident. Teardrop runs and pushes Rocky off, only for her to fall off too. Leafy and Pin play rock paper scissors and Pin wins, so she says that she can push Leafy off. Leafy says that they didn't agree to that. Pin says that when she wins the Island, she'll let Leafy onto the Island, which Leafy still doesn't agree to. Pin says that only one of them can win. The Announcer comes in and says that the both of them win. Pin is confused, and thinks both of them win the Island. Announcer corrects her, saying that they get to choose the teams. Pin is disappointed, while Leafy says it's not that bad.

## Part 2

### Picking teams

It opens with Leafy picking Ice cube to come on her team. Ice cube thanks her, saying Pencil wouldn't let her into her alliance. Pin then chooses Pencil. Then, Leafy chooses Teardrop because she's the "silent type," which makes her mad. Flower calls Teardrop stupid, because she doesn't know how to talk yet. Bubble tells Flower that wasn't nice. Flower asks Snowball to beat Bubble up, which he refuses. Blocky requests to beat Bubble up. He chases Bubble and pops her. Pencil tells Pin to say "Bubble." She does and Bubble gets recovered and gets on her team. Leafy requests Needle be on her team. Pencil chooses Match to be on Pin's team. Needle picks Snowball, and Blocky says that they are in love. Needle denies, and says she likes Coiny more. Pin picks Pen while Snowball gets mad at Needle. Match picks Firey on their team, while Coiny gets on Leafy's team. Leafy picks Tennis ball because he's smart. Pin doesn't know who to choose who's left. She says she wouldn't pick Flower for "obvious reasons," Eraser because he thinks he's "too cool to do anything," Blocky because "he's got issues," Spongy because he's so "fat and smelly," Golf ball because she's too "bossy," Rocky because he has "no arms," and Woody because he's "scared of everything." Announcer says she has to pick somebody. Pin then chooses Eraser because "he's the least horrible." Leafy, Needle, and Tennis ball pick Golf ball. Eraser and Pen choose Blocky. Tennis ball asks Needle how Flower gets angry at everyone and says if the other team gets her she'll become more of an enemy, and it would be common sense to pick Flower on their team. Blocky says to Match that they wouldn't want to pick "Spongy," making Spongy on their team. Leafy chooses Rocky. Being the only one left, Pin has to pick Woody. Announcer says that now that everyone is on a team, they have to choose a team name, which only ends up in indistinct chatter. Due to that, the Announcer picks the names. Pin's team is the Squishy cherries, and Leafy's team is the Squashy grapes.

### Challenge

The Announcer explains that the contest is to build a boat and sail across the Goiky canal. The team that loses will have one of the members kicked out of the game. There is more indistinct chatter about their plan. Meanwhile, Golf ball has a plan of her own, which nobody listens to. Golf ball asks if anyone is listening and Snowball says that they are not, because it is too confusing. Golf ball says that she is still gonna use her plan. Snowball says that he could push her off the cliff if he wanted to. Golf ball says that his "teeny tiny brain wouldn't allow such insanity," which makes Snowball mad. He pushes Golf ball off, which alarms everyone, and they run off. Rocky flies at Snowball, and he falls off too. On the other team, Firey tries to hit a nail with the hammer, but accidently hits his hand, while Pin tells him to be more careful. Eraser steps on a nail and faints into a pile of nails. 15 minutes later, their box-boat is finished. Meanwhile, Leafy and her teammates are building a motor-powered boat. However, it's so small only Leafy, Ice cube and Coiny can fit in it, leaving the other teammates behind. Tennis ball tries to catch up to the boat, but Coiny starts the motor and blows him away without realizing. On the Squishy cherries, Blocky uses Match as an oar. There is then a leak in the boat which alarms Firey. Blocky plugs the hole but a fish bites him, causing him to fly and land in a fish monster's mouth. Pencil appears from the hole and Firey tells her to stay there, because they need a plug. But then, the Squashy grape's boat quickly comes in and flies over the Squishy cherries, while bumping into it. with causes their boat to crack. The Grape's boat flies over a bunch of monsters, past the finish line, through a tree, and into a lake. Meanwhile, the Cherrie's boat is full of cracks. Pin exclaims that there's too much weight on the boat, and they need to throw someone off. They throw Spongy off. Pen comes out from under the boat and says that the finish line is just "twenty or so yards away," and that they can swim there. Firey exclaims that he can't swim. The boat then cracks into a bunch of pieces. Pencil tells Match to come swim to the finish, and Match says that she has no energy left. Pencil leaves her. Match then sees the rest of the Squashy grapes floating on Spongy. Leafy, Ice cube, and Coiny jump out of the boat and run towards the finish line. Pin swims too close to Bubble, and accidently pops her. The weather becomes dark and windy, and blows Leafy away. Ice cube slides which makes water and slips Coiny. Ice cube reaches the finish, but is unable to rip the ribbon. Pen bumps her and she slides away, Pin reaches the finish and rips the ribbon. The Announcer says that Pin's team, The squishy cherries wins and that Leafy's team, The Squashy grapes are up for elimination and Announcer explains the contestants on that team.

### Stinger

The Squashy Grapes, along with Match, Firey and Woody are floating on Spongy. Match says that they should get back now.
