This fanfic is based on Love Island The Game (LITG) Season 2, with a few twists and turns along the way, similar to the actual show. There will be more fire pit gatherings, new challenges (e.g. Snog-Marry-Pie, License to Swill, Good Bad&Sexy, Sexy...
SUMMARY: It's time for the recoupling ceremony. Who will pick who?
NOTE: The recouple has been changed to a surprise dumping versus Canon, where the Islanders are told Day 3 Pt 1 that the Islander not chosen at tonight's recouple will be dumped from the Villa.

Iain Stirling:
The dressing room is a flurry of activity
as the girls ready themselves for the recoupling.
The boys must get so bored when they're getting ready.
I think a few of them nap, you know?
Bedroom
Gary and Ibrahim had taken short naps and were now lounging about. Bobby just finished putting on his khaki capris and a white flower-patterned shirt with a few buttons undone. Gary is in his bed under the duvet, with Ibrahim two beds down from him. Noah is still napping. "Bobby, you have put in some work, and it shows." The baker received approval from Ibrahim. Gary nodded in agreement, and Bobby beamed, thanking him.
Gary was making a concerted effort not to think about a certain gorgeous brunette and the kiss they shared in the challenge today. He knew it was risky to put all of his eggs in one basket so early in the game if he wanted to stay in the competition. Thinking of her in bed and cuddling up with someone else tonight was messing with his head. Bloody hell.
Bobby soothes his chapped lips with some lip balm, and the Kent blonde catches his attention in the mirror. Gary is rubbing the back of his neck and looks agitated. "What are you thinking, big man? Are you gonna pick Grace?"
"I'm keeping my cards close to my chest for now..."
Bobby grinned at the crane operator. "Oh, a man of mystery..."
Gary shrugged and replied, "Depends on the order. I might go slightly against my gut, but trust in what I stand by."
Bobby nodded. "It is going to be a hard decision. "
Beach Hut (BH), Gary: "I wish Marisol hadn't had the chat with me today cos it's got my head fucked. Before that, I was just set on doing what I was doing."
Gary sighs deeply. "Guess you'll have to wait and see. I think there's not even any point in speculating as we don't even know." Bobby added, "Nervous!"
Gary nodded at him and said, "Yeah. You've got to go with it." Everyone nodded in agreement as he stood up. "Well, mates, I better go clean up. Off to shower."
Dressing Room (DR)
The hiss of hairspray is the only sound as you walk into the dressing room. The other girls seem intensely focused on getting ready.
