Brandon sits on his bed, thinking about the upcoming nominations. Either way, he's gonna end up making two people mad. Will, a white shepherd, comes into the room and digs into his bag.

"What's up?" Brandon asked.

"Nothing. Just came here to grab some clothes; I'm getting a shower." Will says to his buddy. Brandon looks around even though no one else is in the room. He motions for Will to come closer. Will isn't sure at first, but then he approaches the blue wolf.

Brandon whispers in Will's ear, "You're good this week. I'm not going to nominate you. But I do want to work with you." Will's shocked at first because he just told met him yesterday. At the same time, Brandon said he would keep him safe.

"Ok. Thanks man. Anyone else you had in mind?" Will asked.

"How about Jill?"

"Jill?"

"Yeah. She's a strong player. Plus me and her agreed not to nominate each other. She's a competitor."

"True." Will thought about this. If this can be an official alliance, they might be able to get to the final three. "I'll talk to her later."

"Thanks." Brandon said. Will takes his clothes and heads to the shower. On the way, he passes Michael and Teresa who are on the couch.

"Hey guys." Will says.

"S'up?" Michael asks.

"Going to the shower." The green fox then turns back to the Collie.

"It's obvious Brandon and Will have an alliance." Michael says, "They're probably recruiting Jill to join them. You heard them during the competition."

"I did." Teresa says, "Who do you think he'll target?"

"I don't know yet." Michael and Teresa have started to grow close; however, Michael's worried this'll make him a target fast. Teresa, on the other hand, has something else on her mind.

"Where do you think Brandon and Gina stand?" Teresa asks.

"Not sure." Michael says, "I think he'll put her up as a pawn though; since she was the first to fall."

"Yeah but, can you blame her? Those buttons were hard to push."

"True. But Brandon has power, we don't." Michael says.

"Well, let's go talk to Brandon." Teresa gets off the couch and motions for Michael to follow.

Jill sits on the bench in the bathroom. Will comes in with a towel, clothes, and some of his fur shampoo he brought with him. The two of them wave at each other but they don't speak. Gina's also in the room, doing last-minute adjustments to her hair.

Jill's eyes wander around the room for a bit. Will turns on the water and steps in. As he lathers the soap in his hands, Gina finishes her hair and leaves the bathroom. Will looks to make sure she's gone, when he's done, he looks at Jill and motions with his paw for her to come over. Jill sees the signal and looks towards the dining room. All clear! Jill runs up to she shower door.

"What's up?" Jill asks.

"Brandon asked me if you wanted an alliance with us." Will says.

"Really? Why?"

"Because we all made a deal with each other so we think it's important to work together the best we can."

"Ok." Jill isn't sure she should be trusting these guys too soon. It was only day 2 for pete's sake! But then again, Brandon and Will are two very strong boys. They might be able to carry her in this game. It's just she isn't sure what she'd do if she were to win Head of Household.

"So, you're in? You want to do it?" Will asks.

"Sure." Jill says. "Let's all meet in the bedroom when we get a chance."

"Ok. I'll tell Brandon when I'm done." They both shake paws and Jill leaves the bathroom before someone notices.

Michael and Teresa went to the bedroom where Brandon was trying to get some rest before nominations in a short bit. They sat in the bed adjacent to Brandon's.

"Hey Brandon." Michael spoke up first.

"What's up you guys?" The blue wolf said.

"We wanted to talk to you."

"About what?"

"Nominations." Teresa says.

"What about them?"

"We wanted to propose something to you." Michael said.

"What is it?" Brandon sat up looking interesting in what they're about to say when in reality, he already has his mind made up.

"If you keep us safe," Teresa says, "We'll fight for that HoH and we'll keep you in this game."

"Who did you want up specifically?" Brandon was trying to trick these guys.

"How about Jill and Gina?" Michael said.

"Why?"

"Well, they're the second strongest person and weakest person, respectively."

"Hmmm, good point. I think."

"Yep. And we can target Jill for eviction." Brandon kept up the act of listening to Michael.

"Alright. I'll think about it." Brandon said.

"Thanks Brandon." Teresa said. She and Michael then left the room, feeling a bit safer. Minutes later, Will and Jill enter the room. Will's fur is still a bit damp from the shower. Brandon got excited for what he's about to tell them.

"Hey Brandon." Jill said.

"Hey. Boy, do I got news for you guys." Brandon said. His allies leaned in closer to listen as Brandon whispered, "Michael and Teresa want to target Jill for eviction." Jill opened her eyes wide in anger. She didn't see this coming at all.

"No way! They said that?" Jill said.

"Yep. Plain and clear."

"Well, we need to fight back." Will said. "Teach them a lesson."

"Exactly what I was thinking." Brandon's brain was turning. Three of them obviously agreed to work together. "I'm also thinking of names for this tight group."

"How about the Triumphant Trio?" Will says. Brandon laughs, but in a good way; a triumphant way.

"This game is on!" Brandon whispered loudly. He then did a fist bump explosion with his allies.

Everyone sat at the dining room table, waiting for Brandon to arrive. The memory wall, with all of the Houseguests' photos, no longer have the keys next to the pictures. Michael and Teresa feel confident that Jill and Gina will go up.

Brandon arrive with the key box that holds the keys of the Houseguests who are safe, and who will be voting. He sets the box down on the table. "Welcome to the first nomination ceremony," Brandon starts out, "As HoH, I have to nominate 2 people for eviction. I'll pull the first key, that one is safe, and they'll pull the next key and so on. Those who don't receive their key are those I've nominated." He reaches a blue paw out and pulls the first key out of the box. "Will. You're safe."

The white Shepherd lets out a breath and takes his key. He then reaches for the next key. "Teresa." Will hands it to her. The Collie accepts the Je and reaches for the last one. When she pulls it out, her heart drops, but keeps her smile on.

"Jill." Teresa hands her the key; which leaves Michael and Gina without a key.

"I've chosen to nominate Michael and Gina for eviction." Brandon says. "You guys fell first in the HoH comp, so I think it's only fair if you guys take the nomination spot first. This meeting is adjourned." Brandon takes the box and walks off. Gina sits there stunned. She didn't expect to be the first on the block. Michael is a different story; he's really pissed off that Brandon lied to him. But, he has 24 hours to turn things around. Who knows what can happen?
