The group had lost nearly half of its members, but the rest trekked on. They had rescued four reindeer, and Santa was counting on them to find the rest. Ari, KC, Dylan, and Vic had trouble moving due to being frozen. They had to be helped along by the rest of the group members.

As they crossed through a snowy field, a faint noise was heard in the distance. They turned their attention up towards the sky.

A helicopter burst through the clouds high above them. It moved towards the group and positioned itself directly overhead.

"What's it doing? :P " said Ari as his frozen teeth shivered.

After a few moments, a dark shape fell from the side of the helicopter and plummeted towards them. Dylan was standing directly over the growing shadow. He tried to lunge out of the way, but he was frozen solid. He mumbled for help the best he could. Boc ran over just in time and shoved Dylan just out of the way of the massive object....







"lol wut." said Paco.

Donner's block of ice was still solid despite falling all that way. The helicopter was circling back around towards them to make another pass.

"What now?" asked Carter.

The helicopter flew overhead, this time dropping down smaller objects. They floated down gently towards the ground.

"Presents!" Patrick yelled. He galloped over to one and lifted up the lid. Inside the box were a dozen or so toys.

ELIMINATION QUEST

- The helicopter will continue to drop presents every hour.

- On any exact hour mark (5:00), whoever posts on that minute will claim a present.

- The first person to post on an hour mark will receive 5 presents. The second will receive 4, then 3, then 2. If anyone else posts on that minute, they'll receive 1 present

- You can only post on the top of an hour. Nothing at 5:01 will count.

- This day will end at 7:00 PM today. That gives you 14 chances to collect presents.

- The two people with the least amount of presents collected will be in danger of being eliminated. I will explain how at 7:00.

- Every present you collect will be added to your present total at the END of the day.

Ari slipped on his brand new socks and walked over towards Curtis. "Very comfortable ;) :P " he said. Dylan, meanwhile, was wrestling with Patrick and Paco over who would get the stuffed animal. No one conceded.

Vic slid a tray of strange, stale cookie dough into his easy-bake-oven. He sat by and watched them roast under the light bulb with glee.

Suddenly, KC stomped on Vic's pink oven as he ran through. "Sorry." he said. He had two GI Joe's in his hands and pretended that they were fighting one another, making explosion and gunfire sound effects with his mouth.

Vic assessed the damage and was glad to see it was only partially dented. "Cookie's are ready!!" he yelled excitedly. His oven made a ding sound as he reached in and removed a small tray of chocolate cookies. He munched on them happily.

Out of no where, his oven was crushed into a million pieces by Boc, who drove by on his new bicycle. "SORRY!!" Boc yelled behind him. His wheels sunk into the snow, but he fought through it.

"Check it out! That helicopter's coming back for another pass." Patrick said.

"More presents? :D " responded Ari.

The helicopter dipped its nose downwards and faced the group. It didn't take long for them to realize what was happening. The helicopter was coming straight for them.

Up in the chopper, the pilot made himself known.












































"YAW YAW!!!!! HOPE YOU LIKE YOUR GIFTS!! SUCK A DICK KC!"

Vernon steered the helicopter right towards the group. Paco shoved Dylan in the helicopter's sights and dove out of the way. Dylan was a sitting duck. He was only recently unfrozen and tried his hardest to move away. The helicopter rapidly approached as Dylan braced for impact....
























































































































...when suddenly, Boc, KC, Patrick, and Vic all jumped in to help Dylan. They lifted up the hefty Santa and pushed him out of the way. When they saw Ari standing by doing nothing but admiring his new socks, they made a quick decision.

Ari was hoisted into the air and thrown into the path of the oncoming helicopter. "Is this because of that last game :P " Ari said. He tried to wiggle out of the way, but his snowman costume made him too slow.

"YAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vernon screamed. The helicopter slammed into Ari, completely obliterating him. The helicopter crashed onto the snow below and made a large crater, as a large amount of snow as lifted up into the air.

Vernon had ejected just in time and began to ran away as he laughed. "You'll never see me again!! NEVER!!!!" he screamed. He would be back.

When the snow and dust cleared, the group checked the spot of the crash. The flames from the crash had melted Donner's ice block, and he was already galloping his way back to Santa's Village. That wasn't all it had melted...

Queen Ariel was no where to be found. All that was left of the melted snowman was a puddle of water and a pair of fresh new socks.
