PREVIOUSLY ON ESCAPE THE NIGHT ... the Gorgon returns, and calliope is turned to stone. Matpat and Nikita arrive as guardian angels. Vivienne and Matpat reunite and are still in love. Nikita fails to save Colleen, who is cut to pieces by the Minotaur.

       "SO WHAT DO we do now?" Vivienne questioned, the group still held the lamp. "We're running out of time. We have to do this next one." Bretman spoke. "Okay but once we start this, we can't go back." Matthew reminds, "Well we couldn't go back anyways." Rosanna replies. "Ready?" Joey asks, a note in his hand. "Of course." Alex spoke. "Please be something good." Joey hoped as he opened the note and begin to read, "Secrets lay inside the lamp. Sing the song of Arabia to find the way."

"Song of Arabia?" Vivienne questioned, "What's the lyrics? Is there lyrics?" Matthew asks. "Maybe we should rub the lamp to see if there's something we could sing." Bretman suggests, "Yeah we should!" Rosanna agreed. "But we have to sing a song!" Joey says. "Do it! Rub the lamp, can't hurt to try it." Matthew suggests. "Alright." Bretman picked up the lamp and began to rub it.

An instrumental of a piano could be heard, Rosanna jumped at the sound, "What is that?" Bretman asks. "Shush it's a piano." Alex spoke.

Bretman: I rub the lamp and poof-pizzaz-yahoo-ha. Notes started playing.

Joey: bretman was right. but there ain't no lyrics! What do we do?

"Do we have to play the song back?" Joey asks, "we should hum it together, maybe the instrumental is the song of Arabia." Matthew suggests. "Okay rub the lamp again, then we can hum along the song." Vivienne says. "Yeah they're right." Joey agrees.

Rosanna: if we hum the tunes together as a group, it may do something!

Bretman rubbed the lamp and the tune played again, the group hummed along. Under a table, something opened up revealing a note.

Alex picked up the paper, "The genie of the lamp has one of the Jeweled Keys..."

Joey: a genie? Oh bitch, yes!

"Place the lamp on the symbol of the jinn on the second floor to learn more." Alex finished, "Second floor?" Joey asks. "We haven't seen that place yet." Alex adds.

Vivienne: now I've only climbed up the stairs to the second floor, and perhaps made a marriage with an emperor.

Matpat: so we have to find the symbol of the jinn on the second floor then place the lamp upon it. Then down a hall we see the jinn.

"It could be in any rooms, couldn't it?" Alex asks. "No but this is the same symbol from downstairs." Bretman notices. "Okay, place it." Joey says.

Bretman placed the lamp, revealing a passageway in red silk.

Joey: holy crap, a secret passageway. let's go in!

Joey crawled inside, "No way!" He exclaims, "What do you see?" Rosanna asks. "Is it okay in there?" Matthew questioned. "Guys! This is so cool!" Joey exclaims. "Is there cute guys?" Bretman asks. "Guys we have to go, come on!" Vivienne went to crawl inside. Matthew trailing behind her.

Rosanna: yes! it's like my size! it looks like a little hobbit house!

The group could reach the heigh to stand up, and walked near to see a man in chains. "Guys, quiet!" Vivienne whispered.

Bretman: I don't really want to talk about what it reminded me of. My biggest fear, the 'Vagina Exhibit'.

"Do you come to torment me in my chains!" The man, who had blue skin, preferably a genie, turned around. "No, we're here to help!" Rosanna replied. "What she said." Vivienne and Matthew agree.

Alex: there's a genie in there! Like a real genie! Locked up, blue and everything! Are we in this genie's lamp?

"We're looking for a key, a jeweled one." Vivienne adds. "Yeah! Know where a key is?" Rosanna asks. "It is not enough that Scheherazade has enslaved me. But now you want my most prized possession?" The genie questioned.

"We could trade something." Alex offers. "What will you trade?" The genie asks. "Your freedom." Joey says. "We can't promise him that!" Vivienne and Matthew whisper.

"So be it! Free me from these chains." The genie said. "How could we free you?" Bretman asks. "You must find the hammer of Suleiman in the Arabian Exhibit. It is the only thing that will break my bonds, and I will give you the key, and a wish for your sorrows to come." The genie explains.

"Oh we could get out of here with the wish!" Vivienne says, "Sounds a little too good to be true, love." Matthew replies.

Joey: he makes a deal. If we free him, he gives us his jeweled key, and a wish.

"For you to return, you must shatter the ebony horse. Find the hammer, Arabia will not wait forever." The genie points to the other side of his tent, the group walks into it. "We'll be back!" Rosanna points. "Don't go anywhere!" Alex says. "Course he can't, idiot! No offense, sir, sir genie." Vivienne replied.

Rosanna: and just like that we're transported into this mystical land. we see smoke, we see tents and ladies with cute dancing outfits.

"I can handle this, guys, I'll talk to them." Alex offered. "Ladies! Have you seen a hammer?" Rosanna asks the dancing women.

"I feel like they're trying to distract us. They look so good!" Vivienne complimented. "Eh you look the best in my eyes." Matthew comments. "Thank you." Vivienne kisses his cheek.

"They're not even that cute, you guys." Bretman comments.

Alex: I am slightly hypnotized.

"Wait she looks like she wants us to follow her." Matthew points. "Do we trust her?" Bretman asks. "Guys just listen to the pretty girls!" Alex spoke.

Alex: what could go wrong?

Joey: Matpat is already taken and probably going into marriage soon. Leaving me worried about Alex! He's the only straightie left!

"I think I'm in love." Alex comments. "They putting a spell on us?" He adds. "Oh my gosh they're so good!" Rosanna complimented the dancing ladies on stage.

"So what are we actually gonna do?" Matthew asks. "Yeah because all we're doing is just watching this wonderful show." Vivienne adds.

Suddenly, two people come from the stage, "Nope I think we just continue watching this!" Rosanna spoke. "The czar will have you executed for your betrayal, witch." The man spoke. "I will gladly cut out his eyes for what he's done to my family!" The woman spoke.

"I wouldn't speak such things if I were you!" The man pointed a sword at the woman's neck. Another man comes out, and wacks his sword to the other's back, then bowed as the other man falls.

"Oh, a play!" Joey says. "Reminds me of your theater days." Vivienne whispered to Matthew, who chuckled.

"My love! I thought you were dead!" The woman spun the man. "Not even the ghouls of the night can stop me." The man held the woman's hand. "With love only comes lost!" The man, who was earlier wacked by the sword, stood up and stabbed the other. "I moved your execution forward, witch!"

Suddenly, a woman with a quill comes out from the curtains. "Welcome to Arabia! I am her story teller, Scheherazade. I wonder what yours will be. A comedy? A romance? Or a tragedy?" Scheherazade spoke.

Rosanna: our story right now is probably a tragedy. Most of us had died once, and some of us have already died twice.

"What brings you to our mystical land?" Scheherazade asks. "We're looking for a hammer of Suleiman." Alex answered. "Of course, Suleiman's mighty hammer. That is quite the request. But first, one of you must come to the stage, I have the perfect role for you!" Scheherazade points to Bretman.

Matpat: then I realize, Scheherazade is the one who enslaved the genie we saw earlier. She is our enemy right now. We can't trust her.

"Guys that's the girl who locked up the genie!" Matthew whispered, warning the group. "Well we can't do anything now!" Alex replies. "Yeah we'll leave bretman if we try to do something." Joey adds.

"This is a scene of betrayal. You are in love with Morgiana, and have stolen away with her in the moonlight! Despite the czar's warnings. Begin!" Scheherazade explained.

"I do not like her vibes right now." Vivienne comments. "Yes that's what I thought." Matthew agreed.

Vivienne: me and my mat have come to an agreement we cannot trust her. that girl has such a bad vibe I could sense it a mile away!

A woman actress ran up to Bretman, "I think we are finally safe!" She clung to Bretman. "Wait we just saw what happens. Last time somebody loved her it was bad!" Alex called out.

"Where do you plan to take me?" The woman asks. "You got the wrong one, sis, I don't play for this team." Bretman spoke. "You have to play along!" Joey reminds. "Maybe I can change your mind!" The woman spoke. "Oh, yeah..." Bretman replied.

"You're acting! You're an actor!" Joey said. "Oh yeah. I'm so in love with you." Bretman spoke.

Rosanna: I'm now seeing another gay man play a straight man! Joey now Bretman?

"So then where do you plan to take me?" The actress spoke again. "Anywhere, mama." Bretman kissed her hands, "Oh, papi!" The woman exclaimed.

Rosanna clapped as Vivienne squealed. "Some good acting! I'm impressed!" Matthew comments.

"The czar's assassin has found us, save me!" The women then spoke. "And then the surprise twist!" Scheherazade exclaimed. "Twist?" Vivienne questioned. "What twist?" Alex asks

"It's time to feast!"

Joey: feast? feast on what?

The woman took off the veils covering their mouths, and chased after the group. Bretman was left on stage with his actress.

Bretman: girl...what ass you been eating?

Rosanna and Vivienne screamed as the people of Arabia quickly caught them, along with everyone else.

Matthew: we literally got captured and tied to a pole in a tent!

"Help!" Alex yelled. "Alex that will definitely not work here!" Vivienne replies. Suddenly Scheherazade went inside the tent.

"Oh god her..." Vivienne mutters. "The collector will be so grateful, I saved her latest exhibit from getting away." Scheherazade smirked.

"But you..." She stepped to Joey's face. "You don't belong in a museum. What's your story, pretty boy?"

Joey: my story? Bitch, it's a long one, you got a minute?

"Listen, you probably have something that we want, we could just make an easy trade!" Joey offers. "So you could leave?" Scheherazade asks. "Yes, so we could leave!" Joey replies. "I think your story has a new surprise ending! We kill you all, and ask for the collector's forgiveness!" Scheherazade exclaims.

Then, a familiar man bursted inside the tent, and attacked the people (besides our well beloved group) out, along with a woman.

Vivienne: all of a sudden an actor we earlier saw on stage just comes out of nowhere and everyone is outside! Well, besides us, of course.

MatPat: they all took out our ropes. Thanks, stranger.

"Who are they?" Matthew questioned. "Okay let's go!" The man exclaimed as the group followed. "In there!" The man pointed to another tent.

Rosanna: who are you? Can we even trust you? Will they kill us in one minute?

Suddenly, the man and woman smashed lips. "Oh is this how people see our kisses?" Vivienne joked, "Maybe?" Matthew guessed. "That's passion." Alex comments.

Joey: what is going on in Arabia? I can't keep up!

"I'll guess! Forbidden love." Vivienne said. "I'm Sinbad, this is Fatima." Sinbad introduced. "Scheherazade has ruined my story, and taken my true love from me."

Bretman: again we have another kissing couple. It's not Vivi and Matpat it's Sinbad and Fatima.

Rosanna: I think collectively the group trusts Sinbad because...One, he saved us. Two, we have a common enemy.

"We also are against Scheherazade." Joey confirmed.

Rosanna: so we feel comfortable enough letting him know we have to find the hammer, and an ebony horse.

"The ebony horse is with her brother in his kebab tent." Sinbad explained. "Well let's go get it." Joey comments. "Ah, Scheherazade has used the ring of Ma'Ruf to bury the hammer. Only the spirits can help you." Sinbad adds.

Joey: luckily I have a lot of dead friends. Hopefully they're listening. hey guys, knock knock!

Fatima uncovered the tarp from a table revealing a crystal ball. "Beautiful!" Vivienne compliments.

Alex: the ebony horse is in the kebab tent, and the hammer is somewhere else, so...

"We don't have much time. We have to split up, okay?" Fatima spoke. "I need someone to go with me and distract the thieves." Sinbad adds.

"You talking about the girls?" Alex asks. "Yeah." "I'll take this bullet, guys." "Seems like the job for you." Vivienne joked. "Got this, Alex." Matthew spoke.

"I'll do this for you guys! Let's go, sinbad." Alex said, the two walked out.

"Okay I'll go with Bret to the kebab tent, figured you trio needed to catch up." Joey spoke. "Yes, a lot of catching up, thanks Joey." Matthew said.

Bretman: we split up into groups so Joey and I go to the kebab tent, Alex distracts the belly dancers...

MatPat: Ro, Anne, my favorite girls, and I will be talking to spirits. Hm, haven't done that before, have we?

"Good luck, guys!" The trio encouraged the others. "Just gonna be us now, you guys!" Rosanna cheered. "I missed you two!" Matthew hugged the girls.

"And Fatima, thank you and your boyfriend for saving us!" Matthew said to the woman who smiled. "Okay guys we can hug later but we have to read this note!" Vivienne reminds.

"I'll read it! I'll read the note!" Rosanna exclaimed. "Go for it." Matthew replies. "Ma'Ruf was murdered by Scheherazade and the world needs to know where and how he was killed so his story can remain. Ask the crystal a yes or no question and it will answer. Two knock for yes. One knock for no. After five questions one of you must agree to have your name placed in the voting pile." Rosanna read.

"Okay so we need to know how and where Ma'Ruf was killed." Matthew summarizes. "Wait so what do we do? How do we figure out the clues?" Rosanna questioned.

"Maybe we try to figure out by the stuff inside here." Vivienne suggests. "Oh my gosh there's a knife!" Matthew exclaimed. "Wait what?!" Rosanna asks.

Rosanna: never done a seance. I'm new to this whole talking to spirits thing...

"Okay let's go ask the spirits!" Vivienne said as Matthew held the weapon. "Was Ma'Ruf killed by a knife?" Matthew questions. One knock was heard. "Oh that was one..." Matthew realized and sighed.

"Okay it's okay we have four more guesses, let's look for more clues!" Vivienne said as Matthew nods and looked.

Rosanna: I also really like their communication style. It's a (clicks tongue twice) for yes and a (clicks tongue once) for no!

"Okay what do we got y'all?" Rosanna asks. "There's just so many options to choose from! Looks I've found a frying pan!" Matthew held up the pan. "Why don't we rapunzel our way out?" Vivienne joked.

"Maybe later, Vivi!" Rosanna responded. "Wanna guess this?" Matthew asks. "Yes let's go for it!" Rosanna replied. "Was Ma'Ruf killed by a frying pan?" Rosanna asked the spirits. "They said no."

"Was Ma'Ruf killed by a blade?" Vivienne asks. "Wait no we only have two guesses left!" Matthew said. The spirits heard the question, and knocked once.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" Vivienne squeaked. "Wait there's rope here!" Rosanna held. "Ooh! Maybe he was hung?" Vivienne guesses.

"But I found a dagger." Matthew spoke. "Sweetheart I asked the spirits if he was killed by a blade he said no." Vivienne reminds. "Oh yeah, sorry." Matthew dropped the blade.

"Okay I'll ask if he was hung by rope!" Rosanna said. "Was Ma'Ruf hung by rope?" She asks. "He said yes! He was hung!" Matthew exclaims.

"Yay we got one! Good job, Ro!" Vivienne hugged her best friend. "Was that our fourth one?" Matthew questioned.

"That was our fourth one. Now we need to know where." Rosanna said. "Oh guys look I found a skull!" Vivienne said. "Honey that isn't a where though." Matthew replied. "Oh yeah." Vivienne threw the skull behind her.

"Maybe that represents a graveyard!" Rosanna said. "Okay guys but if we ask the spirits we only have one guess left. If it's wrong you two decide to put your name in the voting pile." Matthew reminds.

"What about this!" Rosanna held a long stick. "Maybe he was killed at fight training." Rosanna waved the stick around. "Ro don't kill vivi!" Matthew jokes.

"My goodness Ro you're gonna turn me into a spirit!" Vivienne laughs. "I'm so sorry!" Rosanna laughed, and put down the stick.

"You guys there's just so many options in here! I'm finding so many weapons here but no location. I found a bowling pin, a crowbar, these are all weapons!" Rosanna exclaims.

"Was he hung at a bowling alley? Hijacking a car!" Rosanna guesses. "Was he killed in bed?" Rosanna asks, holding a pillow. "Ro he was hung." Matthew reminds. "Oh yeah right!" Rosanna dropped the pillow.

"A book! I found a book!" Vivienne held a brown hard covered book.

Vivienne: I find a book, I flip through and skim some words for a location...

"This is like a dictionary!" Vivienne flipped through, "What are you doing?" Fatima interjects. "Oh god, there she is." Matthew mutters. "Hi again! We found out he was hung by rope. We have to find a location now." Rosanna fills in Fatima.

"Wait Anne look the title on the spine says Lami." Matthew spoke. "Wait how would that help us?" Vivienne questioned.

MatPat: then it hits Anne, a book is found in a library.

"A library!" Vivienne realizes. "Okay let's all ask!" Matthew suggested. "Just like in Everlock, when you stained my trench coat." Vivienne jokes.

"I still have it at my house." Matthew adds. "Okay guys shush shush!" Rosanna says.

"Was Ma'Ruf killed in a library?" The trio asks, hearing two knocks. "They said yes!" Vivienne exclaims. "We did it!" Rosanna hugged the duo.

"The chest opened!" Matthew said. "Stand in the center of the square, and raise the ring to the sky." Matthew read. "Oh babe that fits you so well." Vivienne smiles. "It does!" Rosanna agrees.

MatPat: then finally we meet with the others and turns out Mortimer and the Sorceress were out here, kinda forgot about them.

"Guys we have the ring." Matthew held the ring. "Okay we have the ebony horse." Bretman replies. "This summons the hammer." Vivienne adds. "We need to smash this with a hammer." Joey replies.

"The note says I need to stand in the center of the square and raise the ring to the sky." Matthew said. "And it'll show us the location where the hammer is!" Rosanna spoke.

"Okay I'll raise it to the center." Matthew declares. "Can we walk? We don't need to run, right?" Alex spoke.

Alex: these boots were not made for running.

"Where's the center?" Vivienne asks. Suddenly the actor who played czar's assassin came from a tent. "He's hot." Bretman comments. "Which one?" Rosanna asked.

Alex: my boy Sinbad gets in a fight with Ali Baba.

The two sword fought, the men were running around climbing on and off stages, "Go Sinbad!" The group cheered.

The fought resulted Ali stabbed Sinbad in the stomach. "NO , SINBAD!" The group yelled.

Joey: Sinbad just saved us from Scheherazade. He can't die!

"This is what I get for writing my own story, isn't it?" Sinbad asks, before then stabbing Ali back on the shoulder. The two collapsed on the floor.

"Sinbad! Is he okay?" Alex asks. "Bitch he's dead!" Bretman exclaims.

Alex: they both loose.

"NO!" Fatima yelled, seeing her dead lover. "NO!" She cried. "This is tragic!" Vivienne gazed at the sight.

Rosanna: I feel terrible because, I like, wanna console her, and the same time I'm like, Mat, put the ring in the sky, we wanna get out of here!

"You guys I have to hold the ring up. So sorry for your loss, Fatima." Matthew spoke.

Rosanna: Mat stands in the center, raises the ring to the sky, having his leader moment!

Vivienne: he looked amazing having the little moment of his. But that's not the point! We find the hammer.

Scheherazade suddenly runs from the curtains and grabs the hammer.

Bretman: suddenly this bitch takes it. Like what the fuck! We earned that fucker.

"That's not how your story ends." Scheherazade spoke. "Oh my god. We're surrounded again?" Joey questioned, thieves circled around the group.

H"You won't get the hammer. But I will let you leave Arabia. Two of you must be selected by vote to try and complete my latest story. The one who can will live, and the other will not. Like I said, your tale is a tragedy." Scheherazade grabbed her quill.

"This hoe is about to become one in a minute." Bretman muttered. "Okay, who has not gone into a challenge yet?" Alex asks. "Everyone but you and Vivi." Bretman replies.

"They haven't been in one?" Alex gasps. "No..." Joey replies. "So we're the only two?" Vivienne asks. "I just ate so many spicy falafels, and my stomach is upset." Bretman comments.

"Clearly none of you want to volunteer yourselves in the challenge." Matthew spoke. "Do we vote ourselves in?" Vivienne suggested. "I guess." Joey replied.

Rosanna: and so we do.

Joey: this is huge for vivi and Alex to agree to this, obviously they wouldn't need to put their name in.

Mortimer collects the cards, "I will outperform anyone." Bretman states. "First person going into the challenge is, The Aviator." Mortimer spoke.

"Again?" Alex asks. "I already got one person dead!" "Next is, the Sailor." Mortimer showed the card. "Shit it's me too!" Vivienne sighed, everyone gasps.

"Alex I'm just saying I got a Bae to get home to..." Vivienne joked. "She's right about that!" Matthew side-hugged Vivienne.

"Step up, the two of you." Scheherazade ordered.

Vivienne: I wasn't really an author growing up, more of the crafter...

"Here is the story you must complete. Hunt through the bazar to find three items to fill in the blanks, and your friends will vote on which story is the worst. One of your names will be written in the tragic death that ends the tale." Scheherazade explained. "Find your items! Hurry up!" Scheherazade exclaimed.

Alex: basically we need to find three items to finish the story, we have to sell those items and make them seem they are the most important item ever.

"Rope, that's kinda kinky." Alex saw. "A genie would probably be here." Vivienne guessed, holding a pot.

MatPat: then we have to vote for who dies? Terrible!

"This is cute." Vivienne held a carpet made of silk. "A scepter!" Alex held the item.

Vivienne: I'm literally gonna use any adjective I know when I present these items. My storytelling isn't the best, but my knowledge of words are!

The two got on stage. "A very poor fisherman cast his net, and was surprise to pull out..." Scheherazade spoke, bring her arm to Vivienne. "A big hot pot, handcrafted by the genie himself." Vivienne presented the pot. "The most magical genie lamp, lost at sea for thousands of years. Imprisoned by Poseidon himself." Alex spoke.

Vivienne: I was a little intimidated by Alex's choice of words, but mine is a two story lamp...

"The fisherman with no avail tried to appease the genie with..." Scheherazade told. "Fishes." Vivienne presented the item. "Yes!" Rosanna cheered. "Genies love fishes, hopefully!" Matthew cheered.

"Luxury fishes that could only be caught in exotic areas. The fisherman was quite an adventurous man." Vivienne adds. "A ram staff, known to appease many genies in history." Alex presented his item.

"Alex that's kinda weird." Bretman comments.

Alex: shush Bret! I'm trying to survive here!

"When he tried to kill the fisherman, but he tricked the genie using..." Scheherazade told. "This silk. Made by the finest crafters using the finest silkworms in China." Vivienne showed off her silk.

"Many emperors and rulers wanted the luxurious item." Vivienne added, "Yes details! Detail!" Matthew cheered. "Some rope, the man was kinda kinky. The genie loved to be tied." Alex presented the rope.

"Now it's time to vote. Who's story is the worst? Raise your hands! Hers..." Scheherazade pointed to Vivienne, Joey raised his arm. "You guys!" Alex exclaimed, noticing the lack of raised hands.

"Sorry but she's my best friend!" Rosanna exclaimed. "She's my literal lover!" Matthew reasoned. "I kinda liked Vivi's better..." Bretman spoke.

"Or his?" Scheherazade pointed to Alex, Rosanna, Bretman, and Matthew raised their hands.

Alex: Vivienne's was honestly better than mines, and MatPat's and Ro's reasons were valid.

"Fatima! Write his name in the story." Scheherazade ordered.

Vivienne: and Alex is gonna die, unfortunate for him.

Rosanna: whatever is written on that paper happens. Sorry Alex.

"You wrote my name?" Scheherazade suddenly yelled. "What have you done?" "That's for killing my true love! Burn in hell, you murderous bitch!" Fatima exclaimed.

"Alex we both live!" Vivienne hugged the boy, as Scheherazade dies. "Yes!" Alex hugged back, the two broke the hug as Vivienne picked up the Hammer of Suleiman.

MatPat: all of a sudden, Fatima flips the script and writes Scheherazade, something that probably felt really satisfying. Go Fatima!

Rosanna: that's what I call a happy ending!

"Break the horse, love!" Matthew said. "Watch out!" Vivienne warns and smashed the horse. "Yes! Go Vivi!" Rosanna cheered.

Alex: didn't die, but we got the hammer, we smash the ebony horse, and now it's time to get back to this genie.

"That's our way out! Let's go!" Alex said. "I can feel the magic fading from me!" Matthew suddenly exclaimed. "My Mat?" Vivienne asks. "Anne I love you! Everyone else stay strong, survive!" Matthew spoke his last words, before the magic faded out.

Matthew was back to the tree and rock filled place, seeing Jael, Ryu, and Nikita again. "They have a chance." Matthew spoke to the trio.

"He's gone!" Vivienne exclaimed. "No not Mat!" Rosanna adds.

Joey: as Matthew fades away, I hope that his brains and strength can stick with the group.

Vivienne: I'm just glad this time when he faded away it wasn't cause he or I were dying. I know I'll survive for him.

"Okay you guys we have to go, come on." Vivienne spoke, "Thank you, Fatima!" Rosanna thanked the woman, who smiled as the group ran back inside the tent. Inside the tent was the familiar blue genie.

"You found the hammer. Free me." The genie ordered. "Hey you promised you'll give us a key, and a wish." Joey spoke. "I am a man of my word, I'll give you both things. Break the chains" The genie replies.

Vivienne lifted the hammer and broke the chains, the genie laughed as he was free from the prison. "That's not a good person laugh..." Alex comments.

"Give me the key." Vivienne held out her hand. "You may have the key." The genie took off the key from his neck, and gave it to Vivienne, "Thanks." Rosanna and Vivienne spoke.

"And...?" Joey asks, stepping towards the genie, "What about the wish?"

"Yes, but, I know better than to leave it open-ended. I will return one of your friends from the dead." The genie revealed the offer, the group gasped.

Joey: we find out that our wish has the power to bring one of our friends back to life.

"Who will you choose?" The genie asks.

Joey: this decision is so difficult, who's to say who's life is more important than the others?

"How do we make this decision?" Vivienne asks. "Right there's so many options." Rosann replied. "I'd say who would help us get out of here." Bretman spoke. "Everyone contributed. There's Justine, left so early. Tim, DeStorm, Tana, Gabbie, Colleen!" Joey listed the dead people.

"It has to be somebody not that big of an opponent physically, but good at puzzles." Alex spoke. "Who?" Vivienne asks. "Tana." Alex replies.

"I think Colleen is great, she's really great at solving things." Rosanna spoke. "Bretman?" Joey asks for his opinion. "Tana. She could read backwards, and was really smart if she shut the fuck up. As long as we tape her mouth, we could get out of here."

"True, she'd probably like it." Alex comments, making Vivienne laugh. "Anyways, who do you think, Joey?" She asks. "Yeah Joey, you pick." Rosanna adds. "I think I know what's best for the group." Joey spoke, and walked up to the genie, whispering a name to his ear. "What'd you wish for, Joey?" Alex asked.
