It was yet another night upon the Total Drama Jumbo Jet as Noah was reading his book. Of course, that's what he wanted you to think. No, he wasn't reading his book. Instead, he was slyly peaking over the top rim of the novel to observe a certain contestant he had an eye for. This contestant was a newcomer to the series. She had long violet hair and charcoal-colored eyes. Her lips contained mango-flavored lip gloss and her skin was slightly darkened. She was known as Sierra. Most of the other contestants found her to be a nuisance, especially Cody and the rest of the Team Amazon members. But strangely enough, Noah had managed to develop a crush on the uber fan. Unfortunately for him, Sierra focused all her attention on Cody.

Noah hasn't been a huge fan of Cody ever since the incident that occurred between them back in season one. While they were sleeping, Noah managed to accidently kiss Cody's ear. This freaked both of them out and of course, caused a huge fan base to think there was a romantic interest between the two. The idea of having Cody as his love interest made the cynical teen sick to his stomach.

Anyway, Noah had fallen in love with Sierra the minute she interviewed him for Celebrity Manhunt. He could never get her out of his head, along with the nickname she had given him. But she didn't refer to Noah as "The Man of Mystery" anymore. Instead, she just called him by his name.

While Noah sat there thinking about his strange sentimental feelings for the newcomer, he didn't realize how long he had been looking over his book. His behavior that night did not go unnoticed by the other newcomer to this criminally insane game. And that newcomer was Alejandro, the Spanish Casanova who always had some form of trickery up his red sleeves. This spilled nothing but bad news for Noah, who wasn't prepared for what he was about to face from the mastermind.

"Noah…" Alejandro spoke, causing the bookworm to jump, "Are you actually reading that novel you have in your hands?"

Noah faked a scoff, "Of course I am."

"Really? Because it seems to me like you're checking out a certain female of the opposing team…"

"I am not!"

"Yes you are. You're secretly looking over that little book of yours and staring at the purple-haired obsessive fan girl."

Noah could tell his face was lighting up, but he didn't want Alejandro to notice, especially since he knew the teenager was succeeding Courtney as the season's antagonist. Suddenly, the thought of Alejandro being the new contestant gave him an idea.

"Okay, fine, you caught me. The truth is I am merely observing Sierra in order to gain information about her which I can use to give our team an advantage. It's actually a pretty simple strategy." Noah explained.

"Really now? Then explain why she's been the one you've been staring at for the past hour…"

"Dude, quit stalking me…"

"I'm not stalking you. There's not much to do around here so I'm just looking around the cabin. Besides, you aren't the only one I've been staring at." Alejandro swiftly glanced at Heather for a second, and then focused his attention back on his teammate. "Now answer my question before I make assumptions."

"Define assumptions…"

"You have a crush on her."

Noah's pupils shrunk with fear. He had to come up with yet another excuse fast before Alejandro found out. If anything, Alejandro was the last person he wanted to tell about his secret love interest.

"You look shocked…" Alejandro smirked, "No, more like terrified. I'm guessing that my assumption is correct, yes?"

"No. You are way off. In fact, you are so off that your assumption makes me want to throw up in the confessional. Since you're so curious about my little observation on Sierra, I'll answer your question. You see, I've been intentionally looking at no one but Sierra for this past… umm… hour? Because I already know about the rest of Team Amazon, along with Team Victory, but we don't really need to worry about that loser of a team." Noah lied.

"If that's true, then tell me something about the rest of the members of Team Amazon that we can use against them."

Noah was expecting this, so he was prepared. "Courtney is obsessed with winning and getting prizes. If she doesn't, she explodes with rage. Heather can't go one season without manipulating and/or forming an alliance with another contestant. Cody's crush on Gwen will tend to give him encouragement to help his team win. Last but not least, Gwen has major distrust with Courtney and Heather plus Cody's crush on her has creeped her out since season one."

Alejandro slowly stroked his chin as if his beard was much longer. "Interesting… well done, mi amigo. But I can tell you that I already know what Sierra's weakness is, and that weakness happens to be Cody. I mean, just look at her."

The two teammates glanced over at Sierra, who was cutting paper dolls of Cody while whispering his name in a cheerful little tune. It was as if the singing this season wasn't enough for her…

"It appears to me that your research on the President of Cody's Fan Club is completely useless, as we, along with the rest of this plane, is well aware of her biggest weakness."

Noah crossed his arms and rolled his black eyes. "I know that, but what happens if Cody gets voted off? Sure, she'll cry her eyes out, but what if she gets over his elimination and moves on from it? It's not like she's not going to see him for the rest of her life. She's going to stalk him once the show is over anyway. Won't we have to find out what her other weaknesses are?"

Raising an eyebrow, Alejandro evilly smiled. "Very well, if you wish to gather so much information about Sierra, then why don't you go over there and talk to her?"

Noah could feel small butterflies fluttering through his stomach. He was scared, nervous, and even anxious. This was totally out of character for him, and he was even aware of it. He gulped fearfully.

"I don't think I'm really comfortable with doing that…"

"Why's that?"

"I don't exactly know her all that well. Plus, if I befriend her, what'll I do if she becomes obsessed with me? It's possible, you know." As a matter of fact, deep down Noah wouldn't really mind if Sierra was obsessed with him instead of Cody.

"I don't see the problem. Her only friend is Izzy, and she's gullible enough to think Heather is her friend, too. Perhaps she'll enjoy having another friend. Why don't you go give her a chance?"

"Okay, you're seriously starting to scare me. I know you're dirty little secret, Alejandro. I know you're just a manipulator. I'm well aware that you were the one who caused the elimination of Bridgette considering I was in the sled when we picked you up and I saw her tongue get stuck on a pole. So why would you want me to befriend the new Izzy?"

"Relax… First of all, eliminating Bridgette was all strategy. She was expendable and most likely the most athletic member on her team. Second, if you befriend Sierra, the two of us can bend her to our advantage. I obviously can't get near her because my flirting won't have any effect on her since she has an obsessive crush on Cody. As for you, I believe that manipulation and flirting aren't exactly what you have in mind in order to get your team further in the game. So I believe you know just what I'm going at with this, yes?"

Noah was outraged that Alejandro just wanted him to use Sierra in order to bend her to the Casanova's advantage. But then again, this was an excellent chance for Noah to get to know her better.

"Yeah, I understand. We have a deal. I'll befriend her, but don't expect me to ditch her friendship after you're done bending her like a French fry. I'm not heartless like you."

Alejandro chuckled. "I'm not heartless. I just use my charms and good looks as a way to flirt with girls and get them eliminated. But I assure you I only do that to help our team win. I'm not just doing this for myself, you know."

Noah rolled his eyes. He'll believe the manipulator's statement when he sees it. "Whatever."

There was silence between the two. The rest of the members of the cabin were talking amongst themselves. DJ was talking with LeShawna about the elimination of Bridgette, while Gwen and Courtney were arguing about Courtney suspecting Gwen of having a crush on Duncan. Heather was rolling her eyes at Sierra, who was cutting paper dolls at Cody while the fan girl's crush was nowhere to be seen. Meanwhile, Izzy and Owen were in first class while Tyler was attempting to get Lindsay to join him in first class. But instead, Lindsay just blankly stared at him and wondered who he was. Alejandro and Noah were the only ones who were talking… well, besides Heather.

"Well…" Alejandro broke their silence.

"Well what?"

"Aren't you going to go over there and befriend her?"

"Now?"

"Yes, now. When were you planning on doing it?"

"The next time our team isn't in first class while their team is in economy class?"

"As if that'll ever happen… Team Victory is never going to win a challenge." Alejandro pointed out, "Besides, you're here now and so is she. So just do it."

"How am I supposed to befriend her if you're going to be staring at us?"

"I won't be staring at you. I have a certain competitor to woo…"

"Who? Heather?"

"But of course."

Noah snickered. "Yeah, right. She hates you."

"Yes well, it's not like she can resist me forever. She'll fall for me eventually."

"Yeah right, she has no heart, just like you."

"I'm well aware of that. But perhaps I can win her over, if you catch my drift."

Noah shivered at the thought of Heather actually having a crush on someone. "Whatever, good luck with that pretty boy."

"Shall we depart to our ladies?"

Noah felt nervous. In fact, he has never felt this nervous before in his entire life. He bit on his lower lip and looked at Sierra through the corner of his eye. "I'm not sure if I'm up to this…"

Alejandro rolled his emerald-colored eyes. He grabbed a hold of Noah, spun him around in the direction of the violet-haired female and pushed him towards her. Luckily, he didn't fall on top of her. Instead, he merely stood in front of her. Fortunately for Noah, Sierra didn't even notice him as she was too busy cutting paper dolls of Cody. The opposing team member took a seat next to her, but she still didn't notice him.

"Hi…" He spoke shyly.

However, she still didn't notice him. Noah looked over to Alejandro, who was watching him. Alejandro made hand signals that subliminally told Noah to speak up so Sierra could hear him.

"Hey…" Noah spoke louder. Finally, Sierra noticed him.

"Oh, hello Noah. When did you get here?" Sierra asked, uninterested.

"A couple seconds ago…"

"I see…" Sierra continued cutting paper dolls, not paying any attention to the long haired boy sitting next to her.

Noah gulped, trying to spit out words he could say to his crush. "So, I think you guys did pretty well today during the challenge…"

"Whatever. It doesn't matter what you think about my team."

"That's kind of rude, don't you think?"

"I think it's kind of rude that you would bring up how my team lost to your team…"

Noah raised an eyebrow, "I didn't bring that up, I was just complimenting your team…"

"Yeah, okay. What are you doing in economy class anyway? Shouldn't you be in first class with the rest of your team?"

"Actually, it was kind of loud in economy class, what with having Izzy and Owen on your team and all… Plus Owen stunk the place up. So I came back here so I can get some fresh air and read a book without Izzy jumping around the room…"

"Izzy isn't that bad. She's my friend and I don't appreciate you insulting her."

"Whoa, calm down. Izzy is my friend too. I'm not insulting her. I'm just saying she can be pretty insane sometimes. I mean think about it, the RCMP is after her."

Sierra groaned and continued cutting. Noah needed to think of a different subject in order to keep Sierra from getting angry at him. He focused his attention on her paper dolls of Cody. "Wow. You're really good at cutting paper dolls…"

"Thanks." Sierra was still uninterested.

"Is that supposed to be Cody?" Noah pretended he didn't know.

"Of course. He's my boyfriend."

"What?" Noah burst out. He caused the entire room to go silent and all eyes were focused on him, even Sierra's eyes. Noah cuffed his hands over his mouth and his face went bright red due to embarrassment.

"Yeah… Cody is my boyfriend…"

Suddenly, a laugh was heard from behind the obsessed fan. It was none other than Courtney, who couldn't keep her giggles contained in herself. "Yeah right, Cody hates you. That's why he's not in the room. He's hiding from you because you creep him out."

"Cody's just being shy, silly."

"Shy? Umm… I don't want to be mean like Courtney but he really doesn't have any interest in you. Maybe he thinks of you as a friend, but he certainly doesn't like you the way you like him." Gwen tried to explain.

"Oh please, Gwen. You're just jelly because Cody pays more attention to me than he does to you."

"Okay, why would I be jealous of that? I just think of Cody as a friend. I mean, he did hook me up with Trent back on Boney Island."

"Yes, but you broke up with Trent because you're heartless. He obviously deserves better than you. So now you have a chance with Cody. But since he pays more attention to me, you're clearly jelly."

"I'm not heartless, Trent was just too clingy. Cody probably thinks the same about you considering you watch him in his sleep."

"Gwen's right, Sierra." Heather commented, "She doesn't have eyes for Cody. She has eyes for Courtney's boyfriend."

Courtney screamed, Gwen looked worried. She didn't like when Courtney got too angry. "Courtney, calm down! I don't like Duncan like that! Me and him are just friends!" Gwen claimed.

"Shut up!" Courtney howled, "I know you like him! It's so obvious just by the way you look at him!"

"We're just friends, I swear!"

"Yeah right! I saw the way you sunk you Goth girl hooks into him during Total Drama Action! You were all over him!"

All the eyes were off Noah and on Courtney and Gwen's argument. Sierra looked disappointed. This didn't go unnoticed by Noah. He pitied how Cody didn't realize how beautiful Sierra truly was, even if she was clingy. He placed his hand comfortingly on the fan girl's shoulder.

"Don't listen to them." Noah told her.

Sierra's sad face instantly disappeared. "What? You think I believe them when they tell me Cody doesn't love me? I know he does deep down. And that's all that matters."

"I respect that you don't care what others think." Noah admitted, "But just listen to what I think, please?"

Sierra sighed. "Fine."

"I just think Cody doesn't treat you the way a real man should. He should respect that you have a crush on him. To be honest, I would be honored if you had a crush on me, even if you are obsessive. Meanwhile, Cody is too busy hiding from you because he doesn't have the balls to appreciate everything you do for him."

Sierra lowered her eyebrows and frowned. "Look, I don't care what you think about my man. He does appreciate everything I do for him."

"But he doesn't show it. If he learned to grow a pair, he would show his appreciation."

"I don't need you telling me that my boyfriend needs to learn to grow a pair."

"He's not your boyfriend. Sierra, tell me when you asked him out."

"I haven't…"

"Tell me when he asked you out." Noah demanded.

"He didn't…."

"Then why are you sitting here telling me that you two are dating?"

Sierra didn't answer. She just stared at him blankly.

"I rest my case."

"Shut up." Sierra turned away.

"Sierra, I'm just trying to be a good friend. I'm telling you the truth."

Sierra's eyes widened. Instantly, she spun around and stared at him. "You want to be my friend?"

"Yeah." Noah gave her a warm smile.

Sierra's lips began to curve into a grin, but she managed to hold it back. "Why would I want to be friends with you?" She questioned.

"Dare I ask why you're so snappy today?" Noah countered.

"I just don't like you." Sierra began to cut her scissors at paper Cody's.

Noah flinched. Sierra didn't like him? But why? He never did anything to her that she could possibly use to hold a grudge against him.

"Why?"

Sierra glanced at him. "I don't believe that's any of your business."

"But, I never did anything to you that I can think of…"

Sierra snickered, "That's right. You didn't do anything to me, but you did do something I severely dislike."

"Wait… What? What are you talking about?"

"It's none of your business. So quit asking." Sierra stood up and walked away from him. Noah raised an eyebrow at her departure. Out of nowhere, Alejandro arrived and took a seat next to his teammate.

"How did it go?" Alejandro wondered.

Noah frowned and darted his eyes towards Alejandro, but didn't turn his head to look directly at him. "She apparently dislikes me…"

"Did you ask why?"

"Of course I did… She said it's none of my business."

"Harsh… It's strange to see Sierra like this. I've never quite seen her so… snappy. Then again, she is new and we're only on day 4 of this series. Perhaps she's just going through a phase, or maybe she's pmsing. I guarantee you have nothing to worry about, my friend."

Noah's sad expression transitioned back to his usual cynical look. "The chick doesn't like me. Get it through your big, conceited head."

"You're starting to sound like Sierra."

Noah paused, and then glared at the antagonist. "Not cool, dude."

"Relax, it's just the truth. And let's face it, the truth hurts."

Noah couldn't take anymore Alejandro for one day. He got up and walked to First Class, only to have Alejandro follow him considering he was allowed in there for the night too. Noah simply groaned and ran into the confessional, followed by locking it so Alejandro couldn't go in there with him. Luckily, Alejandro stopped chasing Noah around in an attempt to get on his nerves. While in the confessional, Noah decided he might as well say something in there.

"Alejandro is a jerk with no consideration for anyone else's feelings. He's obviously just trying to get on my nerves. He thinks he's so smart just because he's evil and has 'good looks'. But his so called 'good looks' are nothing but a load of bullshit. I've seen better looking guys at an ugly convention." Noah paused. "Okay, that was a pretty mean statement. I really don't care, though… As long as I got my point across that Al sucks balls, I'm good. And I'm not just saying all this because he wants me to use Sierra. No, I'm also saying this because he got Bridgette eliminated and he made Harold kick himself off the plane. He even admitted to me that he uses his looks to his advantage when it comes to getting our team further in the game. Yeah right! He's just using his flirtatious skills to get himself further in the game, not our team. I swear, next time our team loses and has to vote someone off, I'm voting for him. He's going down!" Noah crossed his arms, frustrated. "What a jerk he is, trying to use my feelings to his advantage… He must know I like her if he's trying to get me to befriend her." Noah groaned loudly. "Why do I have to like Sierra?"

Instantly, Noah froze with fear. He had no idea he just revealed he had a crush on Sierra on national television.

"As a friend!" Noah countered. He knew his lie was terrible, but it was worth a shot. "I mean, I thought she was my friend but apparently she hates me… I don't like her the way you think, okay? Not at all do I have sentimental feelings for that purple-haired she goddess with her beautiful charcoal eyes…" Noah smiled and began revealing how he feels, without realizing he was still on camera, "And that flawless dark skin of hers and the way she braids her hair makes her look adorable! Plus, she wears a lot of green. Green makes her look so cute, and green is so my new favorite color." Noah sighed, and then looked directly at the camera. His love struck face quickly disappeared. "Crap! I just admitted my crush to the whole world! Chris! If you air this, you are so fucking dead!"

"Dude, we should so air this…" Chris told Chef, who was busy flying the plane.

"I say go for it." Chef agreed, "The kid's too scrawny to kill you."

Chris chuckled. "I know."

"Well, as long as Sierra and Alejandro don't know about it, I'm fine." Noah claimed, still talking to the audience.

Little did Noah know that Alejandro was standing outside the confessional the whole time. He wasn't there to follow Noah, nope; he was there to talk in the confessional about his plan to eliminate Sierra. But now, now he had a bigger plan to take advantage of both Noah and Sierra. A devilish grin formed upon the face of the evil 16 year-old. He began to slowly walk back to first class. Lucky for him, no one was around to hear him monologue to himself… Or so he thought…

"Excellent… Forget about my other plan, this one is pure gold… It's like killing two birds with one stone! I can use Noah's feelings against him to get Sierra eliminated! This is perfect…" Alejandro whispered to himself.

"You know, it's probably not a good idea to talk to yourself about your evil plans anywhere outside the confessional… Or near the other contestants…" A voice told him.

Shocked, Alejandro turned around to see Heather standing there with her arms crossed and a disappointed glare on her face.

"Heather! How long have you been standing there?" The opposing team member asked sheepishly.

Heather's eyes darted across the room of economy class. She grabbed a hold of Alejandro's arm and dragged him away from the other contestants.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Away from everyone else."

"Why?"

"You'll see."

Heather let go and pulled a chair in between them. She placed her feet on the seat and pushed open the entrance to the plane's air vent. She cautiously climbed inside and peeked back down to Alejandro. She subliminally signaled him to come up with her. Without thinking twice, the flirtatious teen followed her into the air vent. The dark-haired girl quickly covered the opening to the vent and faced her foe.

"I was there long enough to learn that a certain sarcastic teammate of yours has the eyes for a certain stalker teammate of mine. And now you're planning to use your teammate to get my teammate voted out." She scowled.

"I can explain!"

"And I can explain that you got Bridgette booted off this crappy airplane with your constant flirting. And I bet she and Geoff will be having some relationship issues now considering she kissed you then wanted to do it again. You make me sick, just using other players like that and ruining relationships…"

"But…"

"That's my job, not yours!"

Alejandro raised an eyebrow. "If you hate it so much, then why are we alone in the air vent?"

"Because I want to talk to you."

Alejandro grinned and got closer to the villainous female. "Do you now…?"

Heather pushed him away, "Ew! That's disgusting! I don't want to talk to you about love! Love makes me want to throw up! That's exactly why I tried to break up Gwen and Trent…"

"Don't act like you don't like me."

"It's not acting. I really don't like you."

"Fine, if you don't want to talk about your secret crush on me then what did you want to talk about?"

"Well, since I know your plan, I'm going to help you."

Alejandro's eyes widened, "What?"

"You heard me. I want to win this game too, you know, and I definitely want to get Sierra eliminated. She's weirder than Izzy and her obsession with Cody doesn't exactly help my team kick your team's ass. And I'm sure you don't want me knowing about your plan when I'm not supposed to know about it. Considering Sierra is my teammate, Noah's your teammate and Noah likes Sierra, the two of us can use this to both of our advantages. So, what do you say?"

Alejandro blinked with amazement. "I must say I am truly blown away. The fact that you've discovered a way to claw yourself into my plan is truly astonishing. And the only thing I have to say about that is… I'll let you help."

Heather smiled. "Really? I didn't think you would let me…"

"I can see it now…" Alejandro put his arm around Heather and pulled her close, "The elimination of Noah and Sierra all because of our evil plots... This will be excellent…"

"Alejandro…"

"Yes?"

"Let go of me!" Heather screamed.

Alejandro quickly shoved her away from him. He blushed, but his dark skin prevented the blush from being noticeable. Heather blushed as well, and it was completely noticeable. She swiftly looked away from him.

"So, when will this plan commence?" Heather asked, trying to forget what just happened.

"In two days. Tomorrow will guaranteed be a reward challenge and the day after that I am planning to get LeShawna eliminated." Alejandro explained.

Heather groaned, "Fine. But only because I hate LeShawna."

"Then I'll see you in two days." Alejandro swiftly hopped out of the vent, leaving Heather alone. She smiled sweetly, which was extremely out of character for the charcoal-eyed villainous. She knew she was in love with Alejandro; she just didn't want to admit it, not even to herself. She knew all the others would mock her for having a little schoolgirl crush on the new hunk of the series. But that didn't matter at the moment. What did matter was getting the new freak eliminated.

"This will be fun…" Heather said to herself in an attempt to get Alejandro out of her head. She was currently in the confessional, speaking to the audience, "Playing another round of heartbreak… always my favorite game to play, especially since I'm the top player. Even Alejandro can't top my game. I mean, I broke up Gwen and Trent back in season one. And I nearly broke up Lindsiot and Tyler way before they even started dating. So, let the drama begin." Heather smirked, followed by exiting the bathroom.

xx

I love how this went from Noerra to Aleheather… XD Oh well, I guess you can consider this both Noerra and Aleheather. So, I hope you didn't find Noah at all out of character. Also, I'm sure I won't be able to keep up with writing this, seeing that I always end up stopping in the middle of my writing during a fanfiction. :P Also, I hate how this chapter was like 5,000 words long! I mean, I want all my chapters to have that many words, but how the fuck am I supposed to do that? Whatever, I'll find a way to deal with it. R&R.
