S5C14 - Welcome Home

Another season, another finale. 

It had been about a year or so, but it was finally time for CPSkool to host the end of the season that no one saw coming. Mat, Laura, Checkers, and Stickie held the honors of being the four finalists, an honor that used to be something that could never be added to. Now, permanent moderator status, a spot on the Final 2 Hall of Fame, and a chance at an amazing prize was open to a new set of competitors, Bumble and Andre.

The finale was to be one of the biggest media sensations on the island of Club Penguin, where it originated. Although the cruise ship took the contestants to the jungles of Africa, the home of the Soviet Union, and even the romantic city of Paris, it all led back to where it began: their cold home.

But where were the finalists? 

Bumble and Andre sat inside the lounge of the cruise ship. Outside stood a humongous crowd of eager fans, ready to jump and cheer in extreme anticipation for the penguin in which they knew would win. Some were saying Andre's hat was like his chances of winning: large. Others said Andre would be as blue as Bumble's blubber color when he lost. Either way, the pressure was on these two, and they were hesitant to step outside. 

"Did you see the TV?" Bumble asked, her eyes wide open with surprise.

"What do you mean?" Andre replied, filled with curiosity.

Bumble pulled out the trusty remote and flipped through a couple channels. "It's like everything on TV has our faces on it...even the food channel is baking a cake with us at the top!"

Andre blushed as he realized just how far this position had taken him. "Well, I guess that explains the mob mentality going on out there...I'm afraid they're gonna tackle us!"

Bumble giggled, thinking back to the days when she just started in the season. She knew the feeling of being in the Final 2 before, but this felt a lot different than anything she'd ever imagined. The spotlight was placed on Andre and her, and there was no slacking at this point. 

Andre looked over at his blue pal and knew what she was thinking. In one week, it would be like a fight to the death against her that he wondered if he would win. Would he defeat her, leaving her in second place for the second time in a row?

Mat poked his head through the ajar door behind the two. "Hey, I know that you probably feel extremely nervous, but we need to head out to the Dock. Don't worry, we've got some pretty good bodyguards set up out there to make sure no one tries to steal your stupid hats."

Bumble patted her crown, feeling insulted, but then she looked over at Andre and accepted her fate. They needed to face the crowd, no matter how much stage fright they had.

Andre patted her on the back, and Bumble gave him a sincere hug. No matter what was about to happen that week, they needed to stay friends, even if that is an extremely corny rule.

A set of stairs led the contestants off the ship, and flashes of cameras and screams of fanboys and girls filled their senses. It was crazy out here, but it was amazing that all of this attention was for them. It was like they were officially movie stars or something along the lines of that. 

For now, everything was going to be fun and games. But on Finale Weekend, it was going to be fun and games...but with a serious way of going about it.

Welcome home to Club Penguin, Bumble and Andre.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Penguin874 here, ready to explain how the finale will work. Now, since this is the final challenge of our greatest season, we decided we needed something complicated. Something awesome. Something we've never done to end with a bang.

So why not have the contestants race against the clock to complete 5 mini-challenges all around the island involving penguins with the names of the seasons? I think that works.

*NOTE: CONTESTANTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THE MAP TO RELOCATE.*

Here is how the challenge will work broken down:

1. CPSkool - Snow Racing) To start off the race, the finalist will have to race against CPSkool in a simple snow race. If they win, they will earn 10 tickets.
2. CPHigh - Snowball Fight) The finalist will have to run to the Dock and meet up with CPHigh, who will compete against them in a 1v1 snowball fight. DO NOT PARTICIPATE IF YOU ARE NOT A CONTESTANT. Once the contestant hits CPHigh with a snowball, CPHigh will say "GO", which signals for the contestant to go to the Ice Rink. (Note: CPHigh must make the call, we are going by what they see on their screen.)
3. CPCollege - Hockey) At the Ice Rink, the contestant will need to score 2 goals against CPCollege. CPCollege has to try and block the puck from making it in the goal. If the contestant succeeds according to CPCollege's screen, then CPCollege will say GO, and they can move on.
4. CPKamp - Swimming) CPKamp will be awaiting the contestant in the waters of the Cove. The contestant will need to hit them three times as they run around the water. Once CPKamp is hit three times, they will say GO, and the contestant will need to head through the Forest over to the Mine Shack to head underground to find CPSkool Forever in the underground part of the island.
5. CPS Forever - Hide and Seek) Who doesn't love hide and seek, especially to end the season? After getting to the Mine Shack, the contestant will have to locate CPS Forever in one of the underground rooms. Once they go up to them, they need to say TIME, to signal the fact that the clock needs to stop.

Now, it's time for the copy and pasted information part of these posts.
