Trent nodded lightly, not at all crestfallen at Heather's suggestion. He didn't really take much things to heart, so it was never really a problem for him. She wanted to find the block, of course, but he wanted to as well. And what was the point of two people looking in the exact same area? He was about to leave when Heather stopped him in his tracks and asked for a ladder. He was a little hesitant to fulfill her request, especially since she had just rejected him, but he was going to be a teammate and oblige to her request. Just as she asked, she fell from the roof and landed into a barrel.
Trent winced knowing all too well about pain here having banged himself into the door. If they ever had a reunion show, he was sure both of their accidents would pop up in some sort of video montage with a stupid name like 'That's Gonna Leave A Mark'. He was about to help her out when she slipped out herself after tipping it over. He noticed a pink block amongst everything and was about to hell Heather when she hurled it to the roof. "Uh, Heather? That was the clue!", he said as he rushed to the entrance to see if it had fallen through, which would be difficult because it was still very dim inside.

Serenity's smile was a little shaky and uncertain, but the nod was enough for Ella! "Alrighty then, let's go!" She helped the mute girl carry the ladder towards the door, arm hooked through the rungs and carrying the crowbar through that arm, but paused when she heard an angry shout from outside and a light thud from the roof. Heather? What was going on? Ella shrugged, deciding it wasn't her business, and kept going only to nearly run into Trent darting back inside.
Ella flashed an arm out to catch him by the elbow. "I don't know where you're going, but I'm commandeering you. I'm gonna need someone to catch me if I fall off the roof, and the last thing we need is for my fat arse to break Serenity." She pulled him outside, blocking out any protest he may have given, and blinked at the raging Heather. "Oh howdy Heather. I didn't know you were out here."
Ella set the ladder against the wall while still talking. "I don't know why I didn't think you'd be out here. You certainly aren't on the inside, helping everyone out. Not that I don't blame you, it's kind of gross inside. Trent was shifting through worms earlier, and I had a spider crawling on me from when I first found the crowbar." She held up said crowbar with a smile. "I'm gonna pry loose some tiles for light on the inside. Did you lose something up top? I'll look for it for you!"
They were, after all, teammates. It was only the nice thing to do, right?

Heather rubbed her rear and glanced up at Trent. What? That was the clue? "What? I found the next clue?" Heather jumped up from the ground, forgetting the pain in her backside. "Yes! I found the clue while everyone else was inside! Take that, bubble butt! I found the clue! And... then I threw it on the roof! Heather smacked herself in the forehead. How could she do something so ridiculous? What if it was lost? There was no crash, so she assumed that it was either on top or the other side of the building.
Suddenly the ginger Shaoulin master came out of the building with Trent and mumbling about inside, outside and spiders. "Yeah, uh, great story Gingie, but our next clue is on the roof, so... if you want to go get it, then be my guest. Better you breaking a bone than me. Just remember who actually found it if we get to the campfire. Definitely not Leshawna or the Little Mermaid."

Trent was about to start searching through the ceiling when Ella grabbed him and dragged him outside without warning. He was too confused to even question what was going on, but she had the ladder and was running back to Heather. He nodded his head and held it firmly so that Ella could ascend with confidence and he frowned at Heather when she smugly announced that she found it. "Don't worry, Ella. I won't let you fall", he said as his grip tightened and his biceps became obviously larger, even under his long sleeves. He flashed her a smile and nodded, letting her know she'd be safe.
He looked back to Heather who was still leaping for joy and shook his head lightly. "What have you got against Leshawna and Serenity? You're not exactly the nicest person, but I make the effort to be nice to you. Is it so hard to do the same?", he asked with genuine concern. He didn't want to rock the boat. On the contrary, he wanted to strengthen their team. He knew they had to at least be civil to have a chance at winning the challenges.

Ella frowned a little at Heather before she started to climb. Without looking at her, she said, "I'm going to have to dispute that claim, Heather dear. One, Serenity's the one who suggested we look in the boat house in the first place. Two, Leshawna's the one who interpreted it correctly. Third, you're the reason I am climbing onto an unstable roof to get the bloody clue."
She stopped climbing long enough to give Heather a meaningful glare before addressing Trent. "I'm gonna try to keep as much weight off of the roof as I can, so keep the ladder steady. Mkay budy?" She went to the top and looked around the roof. It wasn't very big, but apparently big enough for the block to be hidden from sight. Ella strained a little to see where it could have possibly went and finally found a bit of pink.
Wouldn't you know it, it was in the exact middle of the room. "Oh, this is going to be fun." she grumbled before slowly standing up on the roof.

Leshawna had just sifted through the fifth hanging canoe to no success. She let out an exasperated sigh and eyed the sixth and final one. Her hands were covered in dead fish scales and smelled so bad that she would have to be in the showers for at least six hours. Before she dove in with her hands, she heard a loud crash coming from the roof. She raised her eyebrow and saw Ella and Serenity racing towards the noise. She also noticed that Trent was missing. "Have they found the clue? No, they would've announced it. Just keep your head in the game, girl", Leshawna aloud to herself as she contemplated joining her team.
It was pointless for all of them to be looking in the same place, so she dug into the last canoe and pulled another dead fish. "Oh, come on!", she yelled as she tossed it back into the canoe. This competition was really testing her limits, and if she wanted Heather or Prissy out, she was going to have to suck it up and be a good team player. She took a few deep breaths before going around to the next walk to search the boxes, making sure not to go near the fish bait box that Trent had been in earlier.

Trent smiled when Ella stood up for Serenity and Leshawna. She had never seen this side of her (even though they had only met a few days ago), but he respected her for it. Especially confronting a girl like Heather. She had guts! He nodded when Ella instructed him to hold the ladder for her. He was in good shape and Ella didn't look like it would be hard for him to hold the ladder still. Gripping each side of the ladder firmly, he looked up and watched her, making sure that he didn't move or even flinch. He looked back to Heather to see how she reacted, but she didn't seem to be bothered. At least, she didn't show it.
"Found it yet?", he called to Ella as he tried to concentrate on keeping the ladder firmly in place. He noticed Leshawna inside and lost his train of thought for a second. Her and Serenity were still in there looking. "Hey guys! The clue is out here!", he called to them while he craned his neck towards the inside. He kept looking between Ella and the two girls inside and made sure that the whole team was taking part.
