On a gloomy evening, where the sky is dark grey and dark blue, the contestants, who were eliminated from Total Drama Pahkitew Island, stayed at a huge paradise similar to what-so-called cottage Chris McClean used to own before Duncan, one of the former contestants, destroyed it. Also known as the Play Des Losers. The cottage, which looks like a mansion, is re-constructed to a better structure and form that Chef Hatchet and the constructor crew created. It was five months of recovering the property that was destroyed. The ex-contestants found the place after they were shot from the cannon of shame except for Amy, who actually landed in water instead.
The eliminated contestants found theirselves an actual room where it's rather more cozy, yet the home is still filled with Chris's self-portraits. The night was quite peaceful, as the beautiful aspiring singer was humming while sitting on her bed thinking about the most recent experience she's had. She felt depressed knowing that Sugar has recently backstabbed her by convincing her to sing, and then report to Chris for the mistake she made that caused her elimination. She didn't mind being eliminated, but she feels broken for the fact that Sugar used her to get herself disqualified from the competition.
"Why does she hate me so much...what did I ever do to her?" the beautiful Snow White-look alike said to herself. Ella has a few birds sitting on the bed along with her to comfort Ella. She's wearing a short pink nightgown with spaghetti straps, her jet black hair still curly and placed propertly with her pink headband with a bow, and she's also barefoot. She had her feet closed together as her knees were pointed to the ceiling. The birds were chirping as Ella was listening to their translating thoughts. "Maybe I should've left her alone. All I want is to be friends with Sugar since she seems like a funny person, but I don't know why she has to hate me that much. Was it my singing that's annoying her?" she asked the birds. She sighed still thinking about how bad Sugar was to Ella. She placed her arms around her knees and placed her chin over one of her wrists.
Ella can still feel the pain Sugar has recently caused for her. She buried her face under her arms slowly, as she heard the door open. "Ella?" a male voice called her name. She turned her head to the right to see who entered her room, and it turns out to be the most recent contestant who got eliminated. He is a tall, attractive male. He is slightly tanned, has dirty blonde hair that are combed to the back like usual, and has dark green eyes. He's wearing a dark blue plaid pajama pants, white socks, and a light blue T-shirt. He's known the singing princess since they were on a blimp. The guy didn't look happy, yet he was still calm.
"Oh...hi there. You can come in if you want," Ella responded after he stepped in. "Oh! Okay, thanks," the guy responded after he closed the door behind him. Ella didn't know the guy very well. She has seen him a few times however. "How do you know my name?" Ella asked as she wondered how much if she's actually known that guy. "Well, we were on different teams, so I guess that's why we didn't interact as much. My name's Topher by the way," he answered as he slowly sat next to her. Ella then remembers who he is. She looked at him a bit knowing his true self. "Oh! Aren't you the guy who is a big fan of Chris McClean?" she responded knowing there was someone who has admired the host.
Topher nodded. "Well, was, I would say," he answered. Her eyes widened a bit. Ella didn't like Chris as much anymore due to the fact she's not allowed to sing to result herself to make it far in the competition, and the fact how sadistic he was to the animals Ella was working with. Now she started wondering what happened. "What happened exactly?" Ella asked as she looked a bit concerned. Topher frowned and looked down. After taking the cannon of shame, he felt betrayed and unappreciated by Chris. "I'm not really sure if I wanna talk about it. All I could say is... I felt backstabbed by someone that I admired so much. All I was trying to do is suggest Chris more of the ideas for the challenges, and you know, I've always wanted to be a host like him... but I guess he never really cared," Topher explained with a sorrow look on his face.
Topher was recently eliminated. He was out right after Ella, which was pretty ironic, and both of them were voted off unfairly. He was excited when the voice, who was a suspicious disguise, made a deal over the phone call. Right when Topher actually thought he was going to be the host sometime soon at the elimination ceremony, Chris then confessed to Topher that was actually him who made a deal with him over the phone. He realizes that Chris actually wants him eliminated from the competition. He never realized it until he knows why his team lost. If he never screamed in happiness while believing his dreams would come true, then his team would've won, and his team-mates wouldn't vote him off at all. Although, his team was annoyed by his addiction to his own iPhone. He was still thinking about it as he was sitting peacefully next to Ella with his legs crossed.
Ella frowned more as she started reminding herself of what Sugar did to her. "I'm so sorry, Topher. I wish I could sing to make you feel better, but I'm just not really in the mood anymore. I felt betrayed by someone too," Ella responded as she can feel the hot tears stinging up in her eyes. Topher knows who Ella was talking about. He knows that blonde, overweight, country girl, and he was also threatened by her before. He also remembers how cruel Sugar was to Ella. The time when she laughed at Ella for being electrocuted by an eel, which concerned Topher. He also remembers when she laughed at Ella for being rejected by Dave, and he's glared at her before she excused herself saying that she's laughing about something else.
Afterall, he couldn't stand Sugar for being vulgar and rude. So he's looked down at Ella, as she was about to cry. He puts on the facial expression, where he felt like he was about to cry too. "I'm sorry too, Ella. I know who you're talking about, and it's that bitch who rejects to be friends with you, am I right?" he said as he thought who was hurting Ella. Topher couldn't think of anyone else who hates Ella. Who wouldn't love having a beautiful singer on the show? Well, maybe Chris doesn't like her since he doesn't appreciate her for singing to the animals. He also knows that Ella's too good to be disliked by anyone despite how annoying she can get with singing. He doesn't seem to mind at all since he knows Ella has a beautiful voice. He felt sad when she was eliminated, although he has made a couple friends since Topher has a good side to himself.
Tears started streaming down her face, and she replied with a silent "Yes..." as she buried her face again under her arms. Topher felt worse since Ella started to cry more. He started hesitating as he tries to put one of his arms around her shoulders. He wants to give her a hug to give her more comfort. Then in an awkward moment, he said, "Oh Ella...does this pain ever go away?" Topher randomly asked as he's still thinking about the most recent experience both of them had. He placed his right hand on his left arm still having the melancholy, emotional feeling. The birds were sided next to Ella as she still sobbed and sniffled. Topher looked over at the birds more to see if they were trying to say something to him.
The pink bird made a sign where it arches the wing over the air like the bird was telling Topher to give her a hug. He breathed heavily as he's still sweating and hesitating to do so. He knows Ella wouldn't hurt him if he hugs her. He's just afraid to know if Ella still has feelings for Dave. Then again, Topher knows how handsome he really is, and he knows that any princess can fall for an attractive guy like him, so he started scooting very close to Ella, and then he started embracing her. With his right arm over her shoulders and his left arm being over her chest with his hand meeting her other side of the shoulder. "I feel your pain," Topher whispered close to Ella's ear.
Just then, Ella turned to the side where she could hug Topher back propertly. She gently wrapped her arms around his neck and placed her head on his left shoulder. Then Topher adjusted his embrace more. He placed his left arm around her back as he placed his right hand on the deltoid part of her left shoulder. Ella accepted the embrace Topher was giving her, but she was still thinking about the pain both of them were going through. Then she realizes there's a good side to Topher that made her like him even more. As she releases the tears from her eyes, Topher embraced her tightly and closed his eyes as one of his teardrops started rolling down his left cheek.
It was the only room where the light is still on. Everyone else went to sleep for that matter, but Topher and Ella has decided to bond more so they would comfort each other. What's ironic is that they didn't like each other's enemies either. Ella has lost her respect for Chris, but she would continue to treat him kindly, and Topher has no sympathy for Sugar, but he would rather stay away from her unless if she was messing with Ella. It was the night where two broken hearts started mending together.
