Book and ice cube were alternates of the alliance and when they join a new team, they didn't wanna be in an alliance with pencil anymore. Match was pencil's bestie but she's in the TLC (tiny loser chamber). Needle was a rookie and wasn't fully a FreeSmart member yet, Ruby seemed to make a team with book in BFDIA and bubble seemed to just disappear, but not completely, they could always bring her back with a bubble blower.. pencil was just alone for awhile
