FreeSmart, with new members and alternates; Ruby, Ice Cube, and Book, as seen in the title screen of BFDIA 5b
Pencil's alliance is an alliance that originally consisted of Pencil, Match, Bubble, and Ice Cube (as a temporary substitute). However, Ruby and Book later joined the group with the former being an official member and the latter being an "alternate". In "Get in the Van", the alliance becomes a separate team named FreeSmart. Later, in "Insectophobe's Nightmare 4", Needle joins the alliance as an "alternate's alternate" after Ice Cube is eliminated.
History[]
Total Firey Island[]
In Total Firey Island, Ice Cube was one of the original members, but was cast out of the group after a disagreement.[1]
Battle for Dream Island[]
In "Take the Plunge: Part 1", Bubble told Pencil and Match that they should form an alliance. They agreed, but Pencil didn't let Ice Cube join when she wanted to.
In "Take the Plunge: Part 2", Pin picked Pencil to join her team instead of Leafy's team to keep Ice Cube, who was on Leafy's team, from joining the alliance. Pencil picked Match and Bubble because of the alliance.
In "Barriers and Pitfalls", the alliance was briefly separated after Pin assigned Pencil to find Blocky. The alliance rides in the same seat on the sky lift.
In "Bridge Crossing", when Bubble fell down, Pencil and Match jumped down shortly afterwards.
In "Power of Three", the whole alliance was a team of three. The alliance team gets third place.
In "Puzzling Mysteries", Coiny mentions the alliance when trying to decide which Squishy Cherries member should join the Squashy Grapes.
In "Don't Lose Your Marbles", the fact that the alliance stayed together for so long is mentioned.
In "Half a Loaf Is Better Than None", the alliance is finally broken by Match's elimination, but she is soon replaced by Ice Cube.
In "The Reveal", Pencil says Ice Cube is not in her alliance right now, because she picked Bubble to pair up with.
In "Reveal Novum", Pencil says that her alliance stays for another day, as Ice Cube is safe.
In "Rescission", Bubble tells Ice Cube that the alliance is too small, and Ice Cube wants "Needy" to join, being slapped shortly afterwards. Ice Cube says she is no longer in the alliance after Bubble considers giving immunity to her. The alliance is over for BFDI.
In "Return of the Hang Glider", the alliance members ask to enter Dream Island together.
Battle for Dream Island Again[]
In "Get Digging", Ruby joins the alliance after Pencil and Match invite her. Ruby intentionally hesitated because of the other alliance members, Bubble and Ice Cube, but after hearing the two's reasons why they are no longer in the alliance, she accepted it. Later, they talk about reviving Bubble with a bubble blower, but Ruby questions why reviving her is necessary, as Pencil and Match are doing fine even without her presence.
In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 3", the alliance didn't participate in the contest. Before Pencil and Match revive Bubble with the bubble blower, Ruby confesses that she acted weird because she fears that if Bubble is back in the alliance, she will be kicked out. Pencil and Match forgive her, and said she won't, as they will have an alliance of 4 members. After Bubble is revived and rejoins the alliance, she is surprised upon Ruby's presence and kicked her away because she thought that Ruby wasn't in her alliance. Ruby blames Pencil and Match for lying to her, which the two told her that Ruby is also in their alliance now, and asks why Bubble rejected her. Bubble didn't want Ruby to be in the alliance because Golf Ball said that an alliance of more than three members would split up. After Pencil tells her that Golf Ball was wrong, Bubble accepts Ruby. Ice Cube wants to join again, as well as Book, and they were accepted as alternates.
In "Zeeky Boogy Doog", Pencil says that she would expel Ruby from the alliance for recovering Flower, but she was kidding.
In "Get in the Van", Pencil and Match have Ice Cube and Book kicked out of the Clubhouse of Awesomeness because they are just alternates. Later, however, the alliance becomes a separate team named FreeSmart, which included both the alliance's members and the alternate ones.
In "Well Rested", Pencil mourns Bubble and Match getting sent to the TLC and somewhere else respectively, so FreeSmart competes in the challenge without them. Also to be noted, Pencil starts treating Ice Cube as a more valuable member to FreesSmart.
In "Intruder Alert", Gelatin and Firey join FreeSmart to get Ruby's Yoylite, but even if the two were on the team temporarily, they did not join the alliance and were only allowed in the team because of Book being an inclusion manual.
In "Meaty", Firey is eliminated and thus leaves the team.
In "Catch These Hands", Gelatin leaves FreeSmart, and later in the episode Pencil accidentally brings back Bubble and the alliance rejoices. Unfortunately, PBS mistakes Ice Cube mentioning Bubble's name as her guess for the prompt and kills Pencil and Bubble.
In "Taste the Sweetness", Ruby, Ice Cube, Bomby and Needle consider making an alliance named "taking out the trash", which Ice Cube is happy to consider as an option after the alliance dissolves, which Ruby isn't happy about. At the team switch phase, Ice Cube makes her beautiful face, which makes Coiny and Spongy switch to FreeSmart, Pencil considers them as new alternates and makes her encourage Ice Cube to keep doing it. After everyone but Fries switches to the alliance's team, it is to be assumed that Pencil dropped the idea to make everyone who just switched an alternate.
In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 4", Pencil chooses Needle to join the alliance after Ice Cube is eliminated.
Battle for BFDI[]
| “ | Do it, or the two of you are demoted to BEMBER. | ” |
In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Pencil demotes Bubble from Member to "Bember" because she stopped Lightning from zapping Flower. Book and Ice Cube leave Pencil's Alliance and join 
, because Book thinks being in the alliance is "too unhealthy".
Pencil is eliminated in "Lick Your Way to Freedom", which leaves only Match, Bubble, and Ruby in the alliance.
In "Questions Answered", Bubble is once again demoted to “bemb” by Match.
In "What Do You Think of Roleplay?", Match was eliminated, which leaves only Bubble and Ruby in the alliance.
In "Return of the Rocket Ship", Ice Cube joins Team Ice Cube!, but then leaves and joins Iance instead. Flower mentions she can't do that but Bubble says to let her think what she wants. As of now, the alliance consists of Bubble, Ruby, and Ice Cube (though unofficially).
in “The Escape from Four”, Liy said that she would demote Pencil and Match to bember for not wanting to help the others escape the EXIT, meaning that she could have possibly joined Pencil’s alliance. However, she is probably referring to the ranks of the Exitors instead of the alliance.
Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two[]
In "Category One", Pencil joins the season. In the episode, she tries to reunite with Book and Ice Cube, even suggesting a cross-team alliance but this is turned down.
Others[]
Before "Take the Plunge: Part 1", Bubble, Pencil, Match and Ice Cube were all the "popular girls" friend group, but in an unknown Total Firey Island book, Ice Cube gets cast out due to a disagreement, this was confirmed by Cary in one of his videos[2]
In "BFDIA 6 Deleted Scenes", Pencil uses the Freesmart Supervan to steal the Eiffel tower (which has the Clubhouse of Awesomeness at the top), which smashes the building that Golf Ball and Tennis Ball were going to live in. Pencil doesn't allow Ice Cube and Book inside since they're alternates but allows them to stay on the roof.
Alliance Hierarchy[]
List[]
- Members
- "Bember" and "Bemb"
- Bubble (formerly)
- Alternate
- FreeSmart member but not Pencil's alliance
- Considered Alternates (formerly)
| Character | Rank | Role | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Pencil | Leader | Pencil became the leader of the alliance after Bubble died in BFDI 25 and got demoted in BFB 1. She has the power to promote or demote any member of the alliance. |
|
Match | Member/
Co-Leader |
Match is Pencil's best friend, and since she's the leader, she's considered as higher ranked than the other members. After Pencil got eliminated in BFB 2, she automatically became the substitute leader of the alliance and got the leader perks of Pencil. |
|
Bubble | Member/
Alternate Leaders |
Bubble created the alliance, but doesn't lead it. She got demoted to Bember in BFB 1 and again in BFB 8 to Bemb. She was intended to be promoted back to member by Match in BFB 11 as an apology but Bubble said the offer was meaningless, she was probably promoted to member after Match's elimination in BFB 12 by Ruby offscreen or was automatically promoted by being the only alliance member left after Ruby got eliminated in BFB 20. |
|
Ruby | Ruby joined the alliance in BFDIA 2 due to Bubble's death and has stayed ever since. After Match's elimination in BFDIA 5a, she seems to now be second in command. | |
|
Ice Cube | Alternate | Ice Cube joined the alliance in BFDI 14 after Match's elimination but then left in BFDI 20. Then again joined as an alternate in BFDIA 3, but left the alliance in BFB 1 to then again join it in BFB 13. |
|
Book | Book joined as an alternate in BFDIA 3, was promoted to member after Match and Bubble got diqualified in BFDIA 5e, but left due to Pencil and Match mistreating her and Ice Cube in BFB 1. | |
|
Needle | Needle was forced to join FreeSmart in BFDIA 12, and was promised to be promoted if she made a sacrifice, which she did at the end of the episode, she was promoted to member by one of Ruby's sisters, so the veritabity of the promotion is questionable. She most likely continues to work with FreeSmart as seen in IDFB, but cut ties with them somewhere before BFB 1. | |
|
Gelatin | Teammates | Gelatin joined FreeSmart in BFDIA 7, but was never in the alliance. He left the team once he got the Yoylite he was searching for. |
|
Firey | Firey joined FreeSmart in BFDIA 7, but was never in the alliance. He left once he got eliminated in BFDIA 8. | |
|
Coiny | Considered | They joined FreeSmart in BFDIA 10 and Pencil temporarily considered them alternates, but it didn't last long before six other people joined. |
|
Spongy | ||
|
Nickel | Rejected | Nickel wanted to join the alliance in BFDIA 12, but Pencil rejected the offer and chose Needle to join them instead. |
Trivia[]
- As of "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Book and Ice Cube have left the alliance and joined a different team,
. - There is no "leader" rank, but Pencil was in charge of the alliance before being eliminated. Match seemed to take on this role after Pencil, but as she is now eliminated, the "leader" is unclear. It's possible Ruby has taken on the role, but this is not confirmed.
- Although Pencil was the leader of the alliance before being eliminated, Bubble was the one who originally formed and founded the alliance.
- Every official member & alternate of the alliance is female.
- Despite being demoted twice, Bubble does not seem to have lost any privileges.
- Ice Cube seemed to have unofficially joined the alliance in "Return of the Rocket Ship", despite Flower saying that wasn't possible.
- In BFB 16, Liy threatened to demote Match and Pencil to "bember". It is possible that Liy joined Pencil's alliance between BFB 5 and BFB 16, although this is most likely a joke line.
- Bubble is the highest placing alliance member in both BFDI and BFB.
- As of "Fashion For Your Face!", there are no members of the alliance left competing in BFB.
- In BFB, the original members of the alliance were eliminated 11 episodes after each other. Pencil was eliminated in "Lick Your Way to Freedom", 11 episodes after that Match was eliminated in "What Do You Think of Roleplay?" and 11 episodes after that Bubble was eliminated in "Fashion For Your Face!".
- The alliance has an equal ratio of EXITors, post-split contestants and TPOT contestants.
- TPOT is the only season without alliance members, only alternates (Book, Ice Cube and Needle). This was true until Category One, as now Pencil has joined the game.
