The Finale of CPSF

There once was an island

that glimmered in the sea...

Where two good friends

who were once a part of fourteen  ...

Will fight to the end 

like the other was an enemy...

In one big challenge

known as the finale...

A dark blue penguin patted Bumble on the back. It seemed like it was early morning in a field. To the right was an energetic bodybuilder, probably someone who was an obsessive enthusiast. She figured out quickly that she was in a race. She was never one to spend time running laps, but even if she was, this person she was competing against really wanted this victory. An announcer started yelling into a blow horn about the countdown. "We're starting in 3...2...1..."

The two were off full speed. Bumble had no idea why she was here, as her memory fell blank, but she knew she needed to win for no apparent reason. It was a 30-yard dash, so it would be over quick. She was holding a small lead over her opponent. She knew she had it, and she could clearly see the finish line was in a few seconds away...until she felt a cramp. It was a cramp she had never felt before, a cramp that made her completely stop and fall to the ground. Her opponent sprinted happily to the finish, which caused him to get an amazing prize and congratulations.

Bumble woke up shivering from the nightmare. She was finally back home at her parent's house after months of being at sea. Why was she having all of these strange episodes? Looking over at the clock, she felt a gasp escape from her beak. It was 3 AM, and not a single moment of this night had been calm. 

"C'mon, Bumble," she said under her breath to herself. "You're gonna need as much sleep as possible if you're going to make an impression on the big day..."

The self-motivation wasn't working. She looked out the window and saw the moon shining over Club Penguin. It was great to be back and all, but for some reason, coming back left more pressure on her than she ever expected. Everyday, people would crowd around the areas she would go. She couldn't even get half a pizza from the parlor without a storm of people idolizing her like a god. This Hollywood life seemed like a dream to many, but it felt like an undertaking she couldn't handle, which led to the stress-induced dreams she experienced over the past couple days. Was Andre feeling the same way? 

A couple miles away from Bumble's igloo lay a shaking, sleeping Andre. He had already tried to calm himself down from the worry he was feeling about what would happen the next afternoon. After all these weeks of strategy and eliminations, it was all behind them as there was one big competition ahead. He was finally able to get some shut eye in, but it wasn't very peaceful when he had an impressionable dream.

He was staring at a curtain, being gently pushed by a man he could not recognize. "This is your chance, Andre," he whispered in his ear. "Don't blow it." The curtains opened up, and the man stepped away. Andre stood, unsure what was going on. A cough came out of an obviously impatient and bored man. The finalist stared into the audience, trying to see if he could see any familiar faces. All these people looked like they were about ready to kill him. Soon, boos spread through the audience like wildfire, and Andre was pulled off stage. He stared blankly, feeling a sense of failure for no reason at all. What was he doing there? Why were they watching him? 

Andre decided that he would have to live with the stress he was facing and continue to sleep, which led to a pretty restless but manageable sleep. The same, he knew, could be said for Bumble. The fact that it would be over with soon was the only thing that helped sooth the apprehension.

In the morning, Bumble and Andre woke up feeling like the world was on their shoulders. Cameras were pointed at them, televisions were turned on all across the island, and as Mat and Peng walked up to the top of the Ski Hill, the finalists knew this was it. There was no turning back, and the game was all based on their actions from this point.

Hello and welcome everybody to the results of the CPSkool finale. This is your host, Penguin874, working Mat, who made all these amazing pictures, and I've got some pretty exciting news for all of you...in this post, you will find out the results of who won the finale! 

This finale, we had five parts in a challenge that was only one factor in three parts that decide the winner. In other words, the finalists did not need to win the challenge in order to win the season. Before I go over who won the challenge, I will go over how the Jury voted.

The Jury consisted of seven penguins who were eliminated after the merge: Lion, Powder, Drake, Spoil, Andy, Wii, and Lew. Unfortunately, Wii decided to not vote at all, nor participate on chat or at events, so we only have 6 votes deciding who should win the season for this category.

By the way, I'd just like to point out that this Jury was actually pretty fair, considering without Wii there were 3 boys and girls voting, which is something I didn't realize until recently.

All of the people voting had enough experience to realize how these two were in game, therefore these votes were given by people who knew what they were doing, and I'd like to thank them for being dedicated enough to the season that they stayed around without raging the season after being eliminated. I'd also like to thank the few of them who gave thoughtful responses for their votes, because sadly some of them just did a simple "I want this person to win".

Now, let's stop the lollygagging and get to the results.

The title of winner of category 1 of CPSkool Forever's finale belongs to...

Bumble! 

Congratulations, Bumble, you won by a landslide of five of the six votes. Will this be enough for her to win the season? Find out soon.

Here is the part that the finale was mainly focused on...the actual challenge! You can't end an eviction game show without one of these!

I feel extremely proud of this challenge because we involved all of the owners and even a moderator to help us with this brutal one hour long event, which was all worth it. We had our funny moments, like when Andre didn't know there was more rooms besides the Pool, Boiler Room, and Mine in the Underground, or some frustrating points, like when Owl kept trying to sabotage the challenge with complete failure or when Bumble glitched over and over, which caused constant restarts of the time. Even though the ending to the game show wasn't perfect, I felt that it was an amazing experience because through all of this, we were able to finish. 

Thank you to GK, Kellie, Sand, Checkers, and ESPECIALLY Mat for making this challenge actually feasible. Thank you to the chat members who didn't try to interfere and were supportive of the fact that it took us longer than usual to complete the challenge. It definitely paid off, as the winner of this part of the finale earned themselves a pretty good amount of tickets.

Who do YOU think deserves to win CPSkool Forever? Vote on the newest poll on the sidebar! It only lasts for a short while, so you should probably vote ASAP!

Congratulations to both of the contestants for each winning a part of the season. Had you not, we probably would've had to have a single results post. So thank you for adding more suspense to this finale weekend!

Until we get the results, I wish all of you luck in the future, and I can't wait for the transformation of chat from a Club Penguin based website to more of a teen hangout.

As always, we've got the good old "Good Luck Contestants" banner to leave you in the posts. This is going to be the last time we have this in a post, so be sure to give your final good-byes to it... :(

Thanks for an amazing season, but it's not over yet.
