"We've been canceled?"
Duncan couldn't believe what he was reading. "Out of all of the things the producers could do to us... the last anyone will hear of us is All-Stars?"
"I guess," replied a very angry Eva. "You at least GOT four seasons. Be happy you got your screen time."
Cody winced. "But this CAN'T be the end!" he panicked. "So much has gone unresolved! The Skave situation! Ezekiel! Me trying to tell Sierra that I'd rahter just be a friend! Anything and everything regarding Courtney!"
"Well," Eva grumbled, "there's only so much we can do. About the only thing that'd save us is a sizable fandom."
"I'm sorry, guys," Chris said solemnly, a tearful look in his eye. "I guess everyone who liked the show has moved on with their life..."
He began to break down. "I'll never get to give another million dollars to one lucky teen... I'll never get to make fun yet deadly challenges ever again... Nobody's ever gonna see my pretty face on TV anynore!"
"But worst of all," he finished, sobbing, "I barely got to say thanks. Thanks for helping me with everything..."
The three teens all looked at one another. They couldn't figure out why Chris would cry over them at first. Then, he began calling them out, one by one.
"Eva, your temper may have been your weakness. But you were an excellent source of relief on Geoff's aftermath segments. And the fans really seemed to like you. Cody, your Casanova Wannabe attitude toward Gwen and the other girls was a bad joke at first, but you eventually realized that if you loved something, you should set it free. And I'm sorry that you had to put up with Sierra because of me. No one should have to put up with that."
"And Duncan..." he continued, turning to the Delinquent. "Duncan... You were awesome, man. Gruff, yet gentle, crushing but caring. Even if you won't admit it, you're a nice guy, deep down. And while I'm still salty for the incident with the cottage, I've finally found it within myself to forgive you..."
"But more importantly, you stirred up the DRAMA. You brought in more tension, more destruction, and more in-cast controversy than everyone else COMBINED. Except maybe Heather, but you know... Heck, you leaving World Tour and yourr Love Triangle situation still bring conversations to the dinner table; not all of them good, but there's no such thing as bad publicity."
"On behalf of myself, Chef, and the rest of the staff," he finished, "I'm glad that you stuck around so long. You, the two behind you, and everyone else. It's been a pleasure working with you, dude..." The dam finally broke, and Chris broke down in tears. Duncan turned away, not to shame Chris but because he couldn't bear to look.
"Poor guy," he muttered. "I wish there was something we could do."
Then, there was a knock on the door. Cody walked over to open it, but right as he was reaching for the doorknob, it flew open. Izzy was there, and she had an excited look on her face.
"Guys, guys, stop whining! There's nothing to be scared of!"
"Whaddya mean?" asked Eva, confused. Then, Izzy's eyes lit up.
"We know how to save the show!"

The correctional facilities of Muskoka always gave people chills, but there were desperate times, times that one had to turn to desperate measures in.
Scarlett was probably the last person the cast expected to get help from. But here they were.
"Look at this site," the girl said, crossing the internet. "Thousands of people want the show back. And not just large-time devoted fans, some smaller fans are pitching in, too."
"There's an online petition going up online at Change," she continued, and if it can get to 25,000 signatures, it may provide the occupation on Netflix with incentive to request from the producers at FreshTV to renew the show and continue all of your ensuing escapades."
Despite her nerdspeak, the Evil Genius made herself clear- there were fans, and it was up to them now.
"So we just need to get the word out?" asked Cody. "Like, with Bridgette's Aftermath song when everyone was stuck in Jamaica?"
"Yes, but on a far larger scale," Scarlett replied. "We don't need a few hundred calls. We need twenty-five thousand viewers who support the show enough to be willing to fuel our cause."
"Not to mention the fact that everyone's moved on," Eva added. "Total Drama is a relic of the past now- even Chris said so."
"That's just it," realized Duncan. "They haven't moved on! People are still writing about us, making up plot for us, theorizing on us... It's nuts!"
"Hey, someone even wrote this thing to get the word out," Izzy pointed out. "That's definitely dedication."
"Wrote what?" Eva asked.
"Nothing," the wild child hastily added. "Look, as long as people see this, we're good!"
"Great!" replied Duncan. "So... How do we get the word out?"
"I have no idea," finished Chris.
