Welcome back from the cliff hanger. I have to say, I am really enjoying writing this so far. Just to let you know, the wait between chapters won't usually be this short. I began writing chapter about when I was halfway into the first one. I didn't wanna leave you guys hanging for too long. I appreciated the feedback you all gave me in the reviews and will try to use it to better my writing. Anyway, enough with this, enjoy the new chapter.


"Previously, on Total Drama Losers. Eighteen of our worst and least popular contestants returned for another season of pain," Footage of several of the competitors like Tyler and Beardo stepping down from their boats was seen. "We divided them up into three teams where both our duos were split up... Amy and Samey took it a little better than Katie and Sadie." A clip of Sadie clinging to Katie when it was announced they were of different teams was shown after that. "Zeke made it clear he didn't want to stay while on the flip side Topher made it clear he'd actually focus on the game this time." The next thing seen was Ezekiel complaining about being on the show inside the confessional before it switched to Topher trying to talk to Noah.

The camera cut to Chris standing on a rock by the beach.

"Our first challenge is about to start and this nice coastal island is about to get real rough." Chris continued. "So stay tuned to find out which one of these guys is going home first. Right here on, Total. Drama. Losers!"


(Theme Song)


The episode began where the last one ended. The three teams stood in a clearing in the woods with three tables in front of them. Tyler was pinned to the ground by a heavy iron ball.

"Can I get a little help..." Tyler muttered.

"I'll get it for ya." Chef murmured as he walked over to him.

Chef picked up the ball and strolled back to Chris.

"So, I'm confused, what's this challenge about, eh?" Ezekiel asked.

"Yeah, and the tables, what's with those?" Sammy asked.

"Well first, I need some decorating." Chris gleefully explained. "Interns!"

Chris clapped his hands and three interns dragging a crate behind them came over to him.

"What's in there? More balls?" Brick asked.

"Nope." Chris plainly answered.

The interns took out several metal canisters and set them up in a pyramid on the table. The dragged the crate to the next table and began setting up another one there.

"You will be throwing those iron balls at these stacks of canisters to knock them down." Chris explained. "First team to get all the cans knocked down wins the challenge and an extra reward. Second team to do is is able to avoid elimination and the last team will be one member short at the end of the day."

"Oh, I get it. It's just like those carnival games." Rodney figured out. "I love those. I actually met my girlfriend Betsy at one of those... She dumped me later that day."

"Nobody asked you, Rodney." Chris said.

"Really Chris? A game this simple is our first challenge? Wow, you really have lost your touch." Topher condescended.

"Well, there is a catch." Chris went on. "You have to throw the iron balls from at least five feet away. And, you saw how heavy they were so it's gonna be hard."

"That still sounds easy." Sam said.

"Oh, right. One last twist I forgot to mention." Chris continued. "We're not just gonna give you the balls. These metal balls are hidden all over the island. So you'll have to find some, come back here, and then you actually get to try and knock down these canisters."

"Still doesn't sound too hard." Topher said with confidence.

"We'll see about that." Chris remarked. "Okay, the hunt starts now! Get out there!"

The three teams scattered into the woods.

"This is gonna be fun." Chef said.

"I know." Chris replied.


(Confessional: Topher)

"This first challenge is literally a children's game." Topher said. "Chris has lost his touch. Back in season one everyone had to jump off a giant cliff. This is going to be way easy."


The Beavers were walking through the forest.

"Let's see... If I was a metal ball where would I hide..." Brick pondered.

"We need to check everywhere." Eva instructed. "I say we split off into groups of three."

"But then it'd be easy to get lost." Dakota pointed out.

"No it wouldn't." Eva denied.

"How do you know?" Dakota asked.

"Because I'm older than you and therefor smarter." Eva reasoned.

"Uh, can I have a say in this?" Beardo asked.

"Will everyone please shut up?" Eva asked.

"S-sorry..." Beardo mumbled.

"Isn't it just great we can be a team? Being this close together had always been my dream!" Ella sang.

"You're part of everyone too." Eva added.

"My apologies." Ella apologized.

"So what's the decision?" Tyler asked. "I'm confused."

"You know what, since you are all impossible to work with I say we stick together." Eva decided. "That way I can keep an eye on all of you."


(Confessional: Eva)

"Everyone here right now is impossible to work with." Eva complained. "They're all not as professional as me. That's why I'm the only person that's cut out to be leader."


(Confessional: Beardo)

"Uh... I'm not a real fan of Eva's leadership style..." Beardo meekly said. "It's a little bit... How do I put this..."

Beardo imitated the sound of a trombone to indicate dissatisfaction.


Meanwhile, the Muskrats were walking through the woods near a creek.

"Chop chop, let's keep it moving." Amy said to her team. "I don't wanna be in last place."

"I hope Sadie's team is okay." Katie worried.

"Can you go five seconds without talking about your friend?" Amy asked.

"Sorry." Katie said.

"So where should we look for these balls, eh?" Ezekiel asked.

"Ooh! My uncle Jeremy likes to hunt as a hobby." Staci rambled. "And he says that small animals-"

"Staci, these aren't animals." Ezekiel reminded her.

"Oh..." Staci trailed off. "Maybe we should ask Bev where he thinks they are. He's like, smart and stuff."

B nodded.

"Why is nobody asking me?" Amy asked. "I'm smart. Somebody ask me!"

"Uh... No thanks." Katie declined.

B shook his head no.

"Okay Beverly, where should we go if you know so much better than me?" Amy asked.

B pointed out to the creek they were walking by.

"In there?" Rodney asked.

B nodded.

"Oh I get it." Rodney realized. "They're underwater. Hey, that is a good hiding spot."

"Uh, no way am I getting these boots wet." Amy defied.

"Just take them off." Katie suggested.

"Meh, that's too much work." Amy said.

B rolled his eyes at her.

"I guess we should start searching the creek. Right?" Rodney asked.

"My mom's best friend Karen works in a national park." Staci said. "And she showed me how to search a river bed for buried treasure."

"Do you ever shut up?" Amy asked.

The camera cut to the Deer walking in a different part of the forest.

"Topher, Samey, you've been on this island before do you know where some good hiding spots are?" Noah asked.

"I wasn't really paying attention last time." Topher admitted. "All that really mattered was replacing Chris.

"Um... I might know a few places." Sammy offered. "And again, it's Sammy."

"So where should we go?" Dawn asked. "I'm not sensing much natural life on this island so it is very confusing for me."


(Confessional: Sammy)

"It's super cool to have somebody put me in charge." Sammy remarked. "I've never had someone do that to me before... It was a little stressful. But I was more excited than anything else."


"Last time I was here I made friends with this really cool girl, Jasmine, and she showed me the best places to look for food." Sammy explained. "I think we should check some of those areas."

"Well, I didn't have any ideas so why not." Noah said.

"Woo-hoo! This is great, guys." Sammy thanked.


(Confessional: Noah)

"I was a little concerned about letting Sammy lead." Noah admitted. "So far she'd been pretty quiet but she looked kind of... Dumb. Look, I don't like to judge a book by its cover, but when I first saw her all I could think of was Lindsay. But she seemed like she knew what she was talking about so I let her."


The Deer arrived in an area of the forest with a lot of bushes that appeared to have some berries growing on them.

"So is this the place?" Sam asked.

"I think so." Sammy replied. "Let's spread out and look around."

"Aw... Katie and me once picked berries at her grandma's farm when we were seven..." Sadie reminisced.

"Somebody please keep her from crying." Topher ordered.

Dawn walked over to Sadie and held her hand.

"Follow me, let's look through these bushes together." Dawn suggested as she led Sadie over to a bush with some blueberries growing on it.

Meanwhile, the Beavers continued down the same path through the forest as before.

"Where are we even going?" Dakota asked.

"I dunno. I was following Eva." Tyler responded.

"I'm just looking for what Chris sent us after." Eva said.

"Why didn't you say balls?" Ella asked.

"Because the more I hear that word the more it loses its meaning." Eva explained.

"Hang on, I thought I heard something." Brick said.

"What are you talking about?" Tyler asked.

"Everybody keep quiet." Brick instructed.

The rest of his team fell silent and stopped walking as Brick looked around to try and see what he heard. Brick saw a bush in front of him rustling.

"Over there." Brick whispered to his team as he pointed at the bush.

"What's in there?" Dakota asked.

"I'm sure it's nothing that could hurt us... Right?" Ella asked.

"Okay, now I'm a little scared. You don't think whatever's in there could kill us. Do you?" Dakota worried.

Beardo imitated the stereotypical sound of a woman screaming that one might hear in an old horror movie.

"Do you have to do that?" Eva angrily asked.

"Oh... Sorry." Beardo apologized.

"Okay, does anyone wanna see what's in the bush?" Brick asked.

"Ooh, let me check." Ella volunteered.

Ella skipped over to the bush.

"Be careful." Tyler warned.

"Oh Tyler, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about in this bush." Ella reassured him. "There's probably just an adorable little badger or a chipmunk napping in there."

Ella began to reach into the bush but was cut off when a large bipedal grizzly bear wearing diving gear jumped out of the bush. The bear startled Ella and casued her to stumble backwards.

"Wait a minute, I recognize you." Ella said to the bear. "You're Scuba Bear!"

"What's she talking about?" Tyler asked.

"I... Have zero clue." Brick replied.

Scuba Bear snarled at Ella and raised its claws in the air but she remained calm.

"Please don't hurt me Mr. Bear! I know that deep down inside you really do care!" Ella sang.

"This is gonna end badly for her." Eva remarked.

The bear stopped growling at her.

"Thank you Mr. Scuba Bear." Ella thanked. "Run along now."

Scuba Bear them went down on all fours and walked away into the forest.

"H-how does that even make sense?" Dakota asked.

"Bro, she dresses like a rejected Disney Princess. She don't gotta make sense." Beardo answered Dakota.

"Maybe Scuba Bear was guarding something." Ella wondered as she reached into the bush. "Aha!"

Ella pulled a metal orb out of the bush.

"Great work princess." Eva said as she walked over to Ella and took the ball from her. "Now let's get back to Chris."

"Um... Shouldn't we look for more?" Tyler asked.

"Ha! We only need one good shot to win." Eva claimed. "And I'm pretty much built of steel. So we're good."


(Confessional: Eva)

"Some people would call me egotistical." Eva began. "But those people don't work out as much as me. So I think I'm able to compliment myself if I feel like it."


Meanwhile, most of the Muskrats had stepped in the creek and were searching through the water with their hands to try and find the metal balls Chris left around the island. Ezekiel sat on the dry land near the water watching his team.

"See anything?" Rodney asked as he felt around under the water.

"Nope." Katie replied while doing the same.

"Zeke! Get over here!" Amy shouted over to Ezekiel.

"Uh, no thank you, eh." Ezekiel responded. "I don't really feel like it."

"That wasn't a suggestion. That was a demand." Amy clarified.

"Oh... I still don't feel up for it, eh." Ezekiel said.


(Confessional: Ezekiel)

"I never wanted to be here in first place, eh." Ezekiel remarked. "Chris forced me to be a part of this. I'm only putting about half my effort into this game."


Amy went over to Ezekiel and grabbed him by the wrist.

"You are going to help this team and youa re going to enjoy it!" Amy told him.

"But I'm not and I won't." Ezekiel replied.

"Too bad." Amy angrily murmured as she began to drag Ezekiel out into the creek. "Now get to work."

"Okay..." Ezekiel trailed off, sounding nervous.

The camera moved over to Katie and B knelt down as they searched the creek bed for anything with their hands.

"Are you feeling anything?" Katie asked.

B shook his head no.

"Me neither." Katie said. "I bet Sadie would be able to help. When we were kids she was the best at finding Easter Egg Hunts. She still is. This year she helped find the eggs that the little kids couldn't find... I miss her so much."

Staci waded through the shallow water and over to Katie.

"Hey Katie, can we talk or something?" Staci asked.

"Um... Sure." Katie agreed.

"Great." Staci said before turning to B. "You're gonna have to go Bev. This is girl talk time... Or whatever."

B respectfully nodded and walked away.

"So Katie, how's it goin'?" Staci asked.

"Not great." Katie responded. "No matter what I do I can't stop thinking about Sadie."

"Huh, missing your best friend. There's something I can't relate to." Staci admitted.

"Because you don't have any empathy or because you don't have any friends?" Katie asked.

"The latter." Staci clarified.

"Oh... Okay." Katie said, sounding more uncomfortable now.


(Confessional: Katie)

"It was nice to see someone like Staci who pretty much only talked about themselves try and talk with me." Katie said. "Too bad she still wasn't the type of person I like."


"All right! I found a few!" Rodney cheered as he lifted two meta balls out from the water.

"Hey, nice work, eh." Ezekiel congratulated.

"Finally some progress." Amy sighed in relief. "You're not completely useless, Rodney."

"Thank you very much." Rodney said, oblivious to Amy's insult.

"Come on, let's keep looking." Amy ordered.

B shook his head no.

"Why not?" Amy asked.

"Uh, I think I'll side with B." Katie said. "I'm wet and tired and I wanna go back where it's nice and warm."

"Me too, eh." Ezekiel agreed.

"Fine." Amy grumpily mumbled. "You've clearly won them over, Beverly."

B shrugged and took on of the balls from Rodney before stepping out of the creek and back on to the path.


(Confessional: Amy)

"I don't like Beverly." Amy bluntly stated. "Call me paranoid but someone that quiet has to be up to something. Not only that, but everyone else likes him. He's gotta be no good."


Meanwhile, the Deer were looking around the area Sammy led them to for anything they could use in the challenge. Topher overturned a small rock.

"Hmm... This is definitely a rock." Topher said.

"Okay, you're useless." Noah insulted.

"Just trying lighten the mood..." Topher mumbled.

"What's with you man?" Noah asked.

"What do you mean?" Topher asked.

"I can not figure out what you're all about." Noah explained.

"Noah, Noah, Noah. I'm here to look good, show off, and win." Topher replied.

"Good luck with that." Noah said, not expressing much emotion.

The camera panned its way over to Sam and Sammy over by some bushes. Sam felt around inside the bush while Sammy watched.

"Feel anything in there?" Sammy asked.

"Not yet." Sam replied. "Wait! I think I- No, wait, I'm just touching a rock."

"Let me help." Sammy offered as she leaned down and put her hand into the bush.

"This really helps." Sam thanked. "Y'know, this reminds me of the puzzle games my mom bought for me when I was little."

"I was never that into video games." Sammy remarked as she continued to search through the bush.

"Well, everyone's different." Sam said. "Hey, so what's the big deal with your name? I'm still a little confused by that."

"Remember my sister? Samey's a nickname she made up for me." Sammy explained. "It means something like "Second Amy". It's really gotten on my nerves after having her call me that for like, seven or eight years."

"Oh... I can see why you don't like being called that..." Sam muttered.

"Yeah, but over here it's not so bad." Sammy cheered up.

"Well it's nice that-" Sam began. "Oh my gosh I think I found something!"

"Really?" Sammy asked.

Sam pulled an iron orb out from the bush.

"Cool." Sammy chirped. "Let's keep looking."

"Maybe there are more in this bush." Sam suggested.


(Confessional: Sam)

"Sweet! I was able to prove myself useful to the team today. That felt awesome." Sam remarked. "This time I'm going far into the game."


Meanwhile, Dawn and Sadie were talking at the base of a tree.

"I'm not really sad about being away from Katie anymore." Sadie confessed. "Now I just feel a little... Empty? Is that the right word?"

"I can see in your aura that she and you shared a deep bond." Dawn sympathized.

"Well, duh. She was my BFFFFL after all." Sadie said.

"Your what?" Dawn asked as she cocked her head to the side in confusion.

"My best female friend for life." Sadie explained. "Obviously."

"Hmm, never heard that term before." Dawn admitted.

"You know, talking to you is helping." Sadie said. "I still miss her but you really make me feel better."

"That is very nice of you to say." Dawn thanked. "Do you think we should get back to looking for those balls?"

"Oh right, I completely forgot about that. We're in the middle of a challenge." Sadie remembered.

Sadie looked up at the tree they were beneath before she asked Dawn a question. "Should one of us climb up there to see if there's anything?"

"Perhaps..." Dawn pondered.

"You should probably go. I'm a bit... Big." Sadie uncomfortably said.

"Good idea." Dawn agreed.

Meanwhile, the Beavers were walking back to the clearing in the forest. The members of the team had split into smaller groups with Eva in the front with Dakota next to her, behind them Brick and Ella walked together, and Beardo walked next to Tyler in the back.

"Are you sure bringing only one ball is a good idea?" Dakota asked.

"Yep." Eva replied as she held up the ball. "I am going to destroy those cans those interns set up."

"But what if you mess up?" Dakota asked.

"I never mess up." Eva declared.

"You know Eva, you seem a little... Uh, how do I put this?" Dakota awkwardly tried to say. "I feel like you're a bit too... Abrasive? Aggressive? Angry? One of those "A" words."

"Well I'll have you know that I'm none of those things." Eva proclaimed. "Got it!?"

"Uh, okay, but if you're not listening to that can I at least give you like, one fashion tip?" Dakota asked.

"Make it snappy." Eva answered.

"Lose the unibrow." Dakota told her. "It's not a good look... For anyone."

"I don't have time for fashion." Eva said. "I'm actually being productive."


(Confessional: Dakota)

"Wow, Eva's kind of a jerk." Dakota remarked. "So much for her being on my potential friends list."


Behind them Ella and Brick chatted.

"I'm having the time of my life so far." Ella enthused. "The sights are beautiful and I'm surrounded by amazing people."

"Glad you feel that way ma'am." Brick said. "But I have to ask one thing."

"What is it?" Ella asked.

"It's really been bugging me since the beginning: What's with the princess outfit?" Brick asked. "You don't actually think you're a real princess, do you?"

"What? No, of course I don't think I'm a real princess." Ella replied. "It's just fun to dress up and pretend. Plus it make me feel important and pretty."

"Oh... Aren't you a little old to play dress up?" Brick asked.

"I believe you're never too old to do what you love." Ella explained.

"Uh huh... You certainly have an... Interesting life philosophy." Brick awkwardly replied.

"Thank you so much." Ella said.


(Confessional: Brick)

"Yeah, I don't wanna sound rude but... She's crazy." Brick stated. "In a cute way... But still crazy."


In the back of the group Tyler was trying to talk with Beardo.

"So... What's up?" Tyler asked Beardo.

"I dunno." Beardo mumbled.

"What do you think of Eva being our sort-of-leader?" Tyler asked.

Beardo made the sound of a game show's wrong answer buzzer.

"Don't like her? Yeah, I knew her since the beginning and trust me, she's always like this." Tyler told him.

"Do you think we could lose this challenge?" Beardo asked.

"Probably. Eva's way too sure that she'll do well. If she messes up we're totally screwed." Tyler vented.

"She looks strong though." Beardo pointed out. "We could win."

"If she let me throw it I could totally win." Tyler proudly said.

"Really?" Beardo asked.

"Yeah, I'm like, the best athlete on the show. Ever." Tyler bragged.


(Confessional: Tyler)

"I might've embellished a bit." Tyler confessed. "But pretty soon it'll be true. I'm more than just a clumsy guy. I'm a winner, baby!"

Tyler proudly stood up and banged his head on the ceiling of the confessional.

"Ow!" He exclaimed. "That's gonna leave a mark."


Meanwhile, the Muskrats were walking along the path back to the clearing. Like with the Beavers they had split off into smaller groups in their team. Rodney and Amy walked together in the back, Staci and Katie were talking and walking in middle, and B led his team through the forest with Ezekiel next to him.

"Ugh, we should've stayed in that creek." Amy complained. "I keep telling everyone but nobody's listening."

"Oh, well, I'm listening." Rodney perked up.

"Do you care?" Amy asked.

"Of course." Rodney replied. "I always care..."

Rodney looked into Amy's eyes and started to stare off into space.

"No! We are not doing this again!" Amy snapped.

"Hmm? Oh, sorry. Thanks for snapping me out of it." Rodney apologized.

"Seriously, never do that again." Amy muttered through gritted teeth.

"I know, we broke up for a reason." Rodney remembered.

"We were never together." Amy reminded him.

"Tell yourself what you like. Hey, we're still friends right?" Rodney asked.

"Yeah, sure, whatever." Amy said, clearly not caring.


(Confessional: Rodney)

"I'm glad me and her can still be friends after our break up." Rodney confessed. "She still seems like a great person..."

Rodney began to blankly stare off into space again.

"Gah! Focus Rodney!" Rodney snapped back to reality.


The camera moved ahead to Staci talking to Katie.

"And that's how my great uncle Gerald invented lip balm." Staci rambled. "Yah, if it wasn't for him your lips would be chapped all winter."

"Wow, that sure is... Interesting." Katie managed to say, not trying to sound rude.

"You don't care. Do you?" Staci asked.

"It's not that I don't care... It's just that... I don't believe you." Katie uncomfortably told her. "You keep talking about how your family has invented literally everything."

"Well, it's true." Staci insisted. "I've been able to trace my family back over thousands of years. Yah, I'm related to Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Edison, and Justin Timberlake."

"That all sounds really made up." Katie stated.

"It's not." Staci went on. "I swear."

"Uh huh... I still don't believe you." Katie said.


(Confessional: Staci)

"Screw her..." Staci mumbled with her arms angrily crossed. "I pride myself on my honesty. Everything I say is totally the truth."


The camera moved to Ezekiel and B walking in the very front.

"So B, you sure two balls is enough, eh?" Ezekiel asked.

B confidently nodded.

"How do you know?" Ezekiel asked.

B took a notebook out of his coat and flipped it to a certain page before he handed it to Ezekiel.

"What's this?" Ezekiel asked as he examined the paper.

Ezekiel realized the notepad had calculations for the throwing part of the challenge on it.

"Oh, now I get it." Ezekiel said. "You really thought this through, eh."

B proudly nodded and took back his notebook.


(Confessional: Ezekiel)

"Y'know, B seems real nice, eh." Ezekiel remarked. "I wish he talked more but other than that he's real cool. It almost makes me being here worth it... Almost."


Meanwhile, the Deer had regrouped in the centre of the area they were in.

"Okay, did anyone find anything?" Noah asked.

"I found one." Sam proudly proclaimed as he held out the iron ball he found.

"And I helped." Sammy added.

"I climbed a tree and found two." Dawn cheerily announced as she held up two metal balls.

"Not to brag but I was also able to find one." Topher smugly said as he held out the ball he found.

"Hmm, four. That should be enough. That stack of cans didn't look too big." Noah mumbled to himself. "Come on, let's get back to Chris."

The camera cut ahead in time to the Deer walking back to where they started. Topher intentionally slowed down his walking pace so that Dawn would catch up to him.

"Hey, Dawn, good work back there." Topher congratulated.

"Thank you. But it was Sadie's idea to climb up there." Dawn gave credit.

"Well, you did most of the work." Topher said.

"What's your motive for talking to me?" Dawn asked.

"Uh, what do you mean?" Topher asked.

"You have a very devious aura. And I don't think I'm surprising anyone when I say our personalities don't exactly match." Dawn explained.

"Okay, you caught me." Topher admitted. "I'm not talking to you because I want to."

"Why then?" Dawn asked.

"Ha! I'm not telling you." Topher scoffed.


(Confessional: Topher)

"I'm scoping out everyone on my team to see who would be the best for an alliance." Topher explained. "So far, Noah seems like the best option. Dawn seems smart, maybe a little too smart. I'll go over everyone else later."


(Confessional: Dawn)

"Topher has a very odd aura." Dawn stated. "I should probably keep an eye on him."


The camera moved to Noah and Sam talking.

"So, what do you think of the game so far?" Sam asked.

"Meh. It could be better." Noah plainly stated. "I'd rather be invited back on the racing show I was on."

"Oh yeah, I saw that." Sam remembered. "You were good there."

"Thanks." Noah said. "What about you?"

"Uh, well, I haven't gone into my tech withdraws yet. So that's good." Sam remarked. "But if I try to jump on a turtle or cut down a tree by punching it be sure to stop me."

"I'll do that." Noah agreed.

"Cool bro." Sam thanked.


(Confessional: Noah)

"How was that guy on the All-Star season?" Noah asked. "Seriously, how?"


"Do you think Dakota's okay on her team?" Sam asked.

"Her?" Noah asked. "I never really met her before. So I don't know."

"That's fair." Sam stated.

"Chris said something about her being a mutant. What was that about?" Noah asked.

"Oh yeah, she got turned into a giant orange mutant thing after being sent into a radioactive mine." Sam explained. "It was pretty cool for a while. But she's probably better off human."

"Wow, this place got really nuts since I was here." Noah remarked. "And I had to jump out of a plane over London once so that's saying something."

"Yeah, funny story, the second time I was here it turns out that one of the guys there had an evil alternate personality." Sam told him. "I missed most of that though."

"This makes me glad I missed out on that season." Noah stated.

The camera moved to Sadie and Sammy talking.

"Do you miss your sister as much as I miss Katie?" Sadie asked.

"Are you kidding me? No way." Sammy laughed. "I am so glad we have to be on other teams. You and your friend are lucky to have it as good as you do."

"Aw, that's nice of you to say." Sadie acknowledged. "But is your sister really that bad? There's gotta be some good in her."

"If there was I would've seen it by now." Sammy said. "I've know her since the day we were both born."

"Oh... That's fair." Sadie remarked. "I've known Katie since we were both like, two. So that's how I know everything about her... I miss her."

"Well, try and keep your mind off of it." Sammy advised.

"Easier said than done." Sadie said.

Meanwhile, Chris and Chef were still over in the clearing with the tables that had pyramids of metal canisters on top of it.

"So... Did you see that new movie?" Chris asked Chef. "You know, the one with the guy who did the thing."

"Oh yeah, I remember that. It's one of my favourites." Chef sarcastically mumbled.

"No, it was a a good one." Chris insisted. "It stars that one woman who was a big deal when she was a teenager in the 80's."

"You gotta be less vague." Chef told him.

"I'm not being vague." Chris denied.

The Beavers ran over to the two hosts.

"Are we first?" Tyler asked.

"Indeed you are." Chris replied.

"Oh how nice." Ella commented.

"How many balls did you bring back?" Chris asked.

"Just the one." Eva answered as she held out the ball. "And it's the only one we'll need."

"According to the rules it's one throw per ball and per person." Chris explained. "That means each of you get to throw that ball once and then you'll need to get a new one."

"Really shoulda looked for more." Beardo remarked.

"Shut up." Eva irritably murmured. "I know what I'm doing."

"Remember, you have to stand five feet away." Chris reminded them.

"Psht, it's not that far." Eva cockily said before looking over at her team. "Everybody stand back. I'm gonna blow you all away."

Eva took a few steps back so that she wouldn't be breaking the rules by being too close.

"Come on, quit stalling and throw." Tyler rushed her. "I wanna take a crack at this."

"Well guess what, there won't be enough time to because I'm about to win this challenge for all of us." Eva affirmed.

Eva threw the ball underhand at the canisters set up on the table. The metal ball connected with the centre of the pyramid and knocked most of them down leaving only two rows left on the bottom.

"Okay Brick, you take it from here." Eva told him.

"Oh... All right." Brick accepted.

Brick walked over behind the table and picked up the ball Eva threw. He went back over to were his team was standing and took aim.

"Wish me luck." Brick said.

He threw the ball at the remaining canisters only for the ball to land on the ground less than halfway there.

"This might take a while." Dakota commented.

"Oh come on, I got thrown off because I was thinking of something else." Brick defended.


(Confessional: Brick)

"I think Eva might've had a bit too much faith in us." Brick remarked.


The Deer made it over to the clearing where the Beavers already were.

"Shoot, we missed the first place slot." Sam noticed.

"Doesn't matter. We can still catch up." Noah motivated his team.

Chris approached the new team.

"Nice job on being not last." Chris congratulated. "The rules are each player gets one throw per ball."

"Well luckily for us we collected four of them." Topher bragged. "I'll be going first. Unless someone's against it."

"Nope, you can go." Sammy declined.

"Sweet." Topher said as he grabbed a ball from Dawn.

He took his position so he was far away enough.

"Is everyone ready for the most awesome thing ever?" Topher asked.

"Get on with it." Noah hurried him.

"Right, right..." Topher muttered.

Topher threw the ball only to have it fall to the ground halfway there.

"Gimmie another ball. I'm going for round two." Topher told his team.

"Let someone else have a turn." Sadie said.

"Ooh! I can do it." Sam volunteered.

Sam ran over to where the ball landed and picked it up. He walked back to where Topher was and nudged him out of the way.

"This is just like a level in a game I used to play all the time." Sam reminisced. "If I imagine it like that I can win."

He tossed the ball at the canisters. It hit the top of the pyramid and knocked a few cans down..

"Woohoo!" Sam cheered. "Did you guys see that?"

"Wow, that was actually pretty cool." Sammy remarked.


(Confessional: Sammy)

"Okay, I'll admit that I was a bit worried about letting Sam go up there." Sammy confessed. "I usually don't judge by appearances but... He didn't look like he'd do well."


The Manic Muskrats arrived in at the clearing as the last team.

"What the heck? How did we make it in last, eh?" Ezekiel asked.

B shrugged.

"We can still catch up." Staci tried to motivate her team. "My grandpa used to work at a carnival. And he showed me how those all the games there work."

Chris approached the Muskrats.

"Muskrats, you have the dishonour of being the last team to arrive." Chris informed them. "But you're not out of it yet. Each player gets one throw per ball. Now go!"

"Let's have Rodney up there first just to be safe." Katie suggested.

"All right! I can do this!" Rodney cheered as he grabbed one of the balls from B.

"Don't screw up like you always do." Amy aggressively advised.

"I won't." Rodney reassured, once again oblivious to the insult.

Rodney took his position in front of the table.

"Okay... This isn't so so hard." Rodney muttered to himself. "I'm strong."

"Uh, I don't wanna rush you... But you might wanna throw now, eh." Ezekiel told him.

Rodney nodded and threw the ball at the canisters. The metal orb hit the upper area of the pyramid and several cans were knocked down.

"All right!" Rodney cheered.

"Okay, let me go now." Amy pushily said.

"But we still have the other ball." Rodney pointed out.

"You can have your second chance later." Amy told him. "I wanna do this."

The camera panned over to Chris and Chef watching the teams compete.

"Is there a chance that they'll get hurt?" Chef asked.

"A bunch of sixteen to nineteen year old's throwing heavy metal objects around? Meh, I'm sure they'll be just fine and dandy." Chris sarcastically quipped before evilly chuckling to himself.

A montage of highlights of the three teams progressing through the challenge played. First a clip of Tyler attempting to throw his ball only to drop it very close to is feet followed by the camera panning to Noah preparing to throw her ball. Noah tossed the metal ball at the pyramid and somehow was able to knock down one canister. The camera moved over to B throwing a ball at his teams pyramid. B toppled over several cans on it. The camera cut back to the Beavers where Ella had positioned herself in front of the table with the remaining canisters. She tossed the ball up in the air and it landed on the ground near her. The camera then cut to Dawn with her teams ball in her hands. She threw the metal ball and it fell to the ground at her feet. The camera moved over to Ezekiel throwing his ball at the pyramid. The ball fell just short of the table.

The montage ended and cut to later. The Beavers only had a few canisters left on their table, the Muskrats and Deer had about half a stack left.

"We've been here a while folks." Chris informed the camera. "The Muskrats and Beavers are both down to their last throw but the Deer still have several left."

The camera moved over to the Beavers talking.

"Okay Dakota, you're the only one who hasn't gone yet." Brick let her know. "Good luck."

Brick handed Dakota the metal ball.

"Whoa, this is a lot heavier than I was expecting." Dakota commented.

"Just throw it and get rid of the other cans." Eva instructed. "Otherwise you messed it up for the whole team."

"Uh, it was you who said we only needed one ball." Dakota reminded her.

"Shut up..." Eva mumbled.

"But she has a point." Beardo pointed out.

"I said shut up!" Eva snapped


(Confessional: Dakota)

"You know, a year or two ago I probably would've been a lot like Eva." Dakota thought out loud. "I never wanted to take the blame for something I did... Weird how being mutated changes things."


Dakota tossed the ball towards the canisters only for it to hit the ground just short of the table.

"Uh... Whoops." Dakota murmured.

"Ooh, looks like the Berserk Beavers blew it." Chris narrated. "Looks like they'll have to go out and find another ball."

"Come on soldiers, back to the woods." Brick instructed, gesturing to the forest.

The camera panned to the Deer deciding who should go next.

"Okay, each of us has already gone three times." Noah said. "We should probably be able to win this challenge."

"Actually I went all four times." Dawn corrected. "... I dropped the ball a lot."

"That doesn't surprise me." Noah remarked. "Okay, who wants to go next."

"Oh, can I go?" Sadie asked.

"Maybe we should go with someone more fit." Noah said. "No offence."

"None taken." Sadie replied.

"I can do it." Sammy volunteered.

"Why not. Go ahead." Noah accepted.

"Awesome." Sammy thanked as she grabbed the iron ball.

She stood in front of the remains of the canister pyramid and took aim.

"Hurry up." Sam rushed. "We might be able to get first if you throw now."

"Right." Sammy said.

Sammy threw the ball at the remaining cans. The metal sphere hit the bottom of the stack and knocked the last of the cans off the table.

"Samey wins it for the Deranged Deer!" Chris announced.

"I did it? I did it!" Sammy cheered. "Did you see that guys? I just won!"

"Deer, in addition to winning immunity you get an extra reward." Chris announced. "However, we'll wait until we have a second placing team to show it to you."

The camera moved over to the Muskrats.

"You hear that, eh?" Ezekiel asked. "We need to hurry."

"Uh, I'm the only one left that hasn't gone twice." Katie let her team know. "So I guess I'll go."

"Don't screw this up for us." Amy advised. "Or else."

"I have some advice too." Staci offered.

"No thanks. I think I'm better off." Katie said.

Katie grabbed the metal ball and approached the table.

"All right, so what if this is a heavy ball. I can do this." Katie motivated herself.

She attempted to throw the ball but she accidentally let go of it and it landed on her left foot.

"Ow! Ow!" Katie exclaimed. "Somebody get me a doctor."

"Wow... You just messed up in the worst possible way." Chris remarked. "You guys should probably go look for a new ball."

"Come on guys. Let's leave." Amy told her team.

"Can someone carry me?" Katie asked. "My foot really hurts."

"Is it broken?" Staci asked. "'Cause my uncle Jim's a doctor and he showed me exactly what to do if this happens."

"No, it's not broken. I can still move my foot. It just really hurts." Katie informed them.

"I'll carry you." Rodney offered.

"Thanks." Katie accepted.

Rodney lifted up Katie.

"Okay, can we go now?" Amy impatiently asked.

B nodded.

"Let's go back to that creek, eh." Ezekiel suggested.

Meanwhile, the Beavers were running through the forest trying to find another ball.

"Come on, there's gotta be another one here somewhere." Brick muttered to himself.

"Let's all try to stay calm." Ella said.

"Yeah, there are still two other teams." Beardo reminded everyone.

"We still could lose." Eva pointed out. "Which means we should hurry."

"Okay, stop here!" Brick announced as he stopped running. "This is where we found the first one."

The rest of the Beavers stopped in their tracks.

"Are you sure there'll be more here?" Dakota asked.

"Uh... I don't." Brick admitted. "But it couldn't hurt to check."

Tyler looked up and saw a metal ball up in a tree.

"Sweet, that was easy." Tyler commented. "I'll go get it."

He climbed up into the tree and grabbed the ball.

"Excellent work." Ella congratulated. "Please throw it down here."

"You got it." Tyler responded.

Tyler dropped the ball down and it landed next to Ella's feet. The ball began rolling away from the Beavers.

"Well nice work." Eva sarcastically said. "Now we have to chase after a giant metal ball."

"Um... Oops." Tyler apologized.

"After that ball!" Brick exclaimed.

Meanwhile, the Muskrats were walking through the forest back to the creek. Katie was still being held by Rodney.

"How's your foot?" Rodney asked.

"Not good." Katie replied. "It like, really hurts. I don't think it's serious though."

"Stop whining." Amy said.

"Easy for you to say, your feet are fine." Katie pointed out.

Before she could respond to that comment the ball Tyler dropped rolled down the path towards the Muskrats. Staci looked behind her and was the first to see it.

"Hey look at that!" Staci exclaimed. "Talk about good luck."

B bent down and grabbed the ball before it kept rolling.

"Let's go find Chris, eh." Ezekiel suggested.

B nodded.

"Hey! That's our ball, man!" A male voice from behind them shouted.

The Muskrats turned around and saw the Beavers.

"Yeah, that's right. We found it first." Tyler proudly proclaimed.

"Hand it over. Or else." Eva threatened.

"If it's like, not too much trouble." Dakota added.

B shook his head no.

"Okay, looks like we're doing it the hard way." Eva said as she grabbed on to the ball B held and began to pull on it.

The two of them pulled hard and neither of them let go.

"Com on! Give up already!" Eva exclaimed.

B repetitively shook his head.

"Fine, let's do it the extra hard way." Eva said.

She let go of the ball and B kept pulling. B's continued pulling on the ball without Eva there caused him to smack himself in the face. B fell over backwards and let go of the ball. Brick picked up the sphere and began to walk away.

"Thank you." Brick politely thanked them as he left with his team.

"Should someone do something?" Staci asked.

"Uh... I'd do it but... I don't feel like it." Amy declined.

Ezekiel nodded.

The camera cut to the Beavers arriving back at the clearing.

"The Beavers made it back first!" Chris announced. "But can they win?"

"Who should throw first?" Tyler asked.

"Me, obviously." Eva said as she took the ball from Brick. "Everyone stand back."

Eva made sure she was far enough from the table before lining up the shot. She threw the metal ball at her target and hit the bottom of the stack causing the last of the canisters to tumble to the ground.

"Beavers manage to avoid elimination!" Chris announced.

The Muskrats exited the forest and saw that the Beavers had already beat them.

"And it looks like the Manic Muskrats will be sending someone home tonight." Chris informed them.

"Shoot..." Rodney awkwardly trailed off.

"Oh, and before I forget, Deer, you got first place." Chris said. "Enjoy some delicious hamburgers from today's sponsor... Grease Burger: A Heart Attack Waiting to Happen."

Chef took out two brown paper bags and threw it to the Beavers where Sam caught it.

"Awesome." Sam chuckled.

"Beavers, I don't have a reward for you but you don't have to send anybody home so that's a plus." Chris continued. "As for the Muskrats... I'll be seeing you very soon."

Eva turned to look at her team.

"Thanks to all of you we have to settle for not having burgers." Eva scolded to her team.


(Confessional: Dakota)

"I really think Eva's kind of toxic for the team." Dakota commented. "If she just admits that she messed up by getting just one ball to begin with we'd be much better off."


(Confessional: Sadie)

"It's super cool that we won and all... But I'm really nervous about Katie." Sadie worried. "What if she goes home? They wouldn't do that to her. Right? She's so nice."


(Confessional: Ezekiel)

"It sucks that my team lost, eh." Ezekiel remarked. "But then again, I didn't wanna be here in the first place. Who knows, maybe I'll be voted off first again. Third time's the charm, eh."


The scene changed to later that night with the Muskrats gathered at the camp fire for the elimination ceremony. B now had a few visible bruises on his face after being hit in the face with the metal ball.

"Muskrats, you have failed miserably today. You have the dishonour of being the first team to lose this season." Chris mocked them. "Not only did you get last place but two of your team members got hurt pretty badly."

"Yeah, is there a doctor I can go to?" Katie asked. "My foot hurts pretty badly."

"You look in pain." Rodney noticed.

"Uh... Thank you?" Katie confusedly said.

"All right everyone, time to get to casting those votes." Chris informed them.


(Voting Confessional: B)

B held up a photograph of Staci with the words "Please shut up" written on it to the camera.


(Voting Confessional: Staci)

"I don't think this team likes me. Not sure why." Staci pondered for a moment. "Maybe I'm just imagining it. Hang on, I need a few minutes to decide who I wanna vote for."


(Voting Confessional: Ezekiel)

Ezekiel held a photo of Amy with a red X drawn over her face to the camera.

"I dunno if you realize it Amy, but you're the odd one out here, eh." Ezekiel told the camera. "I mean, everyone else here is nice and you're very mean spirited. So that's why I'm voting for you."


(Voting Confessional: Rodney)

"It was hard making a choice tonight." Rodney said. "But in the end, I voted with my heart."

Rodney held up a picture of Katie with a heart drawn on it.

"Katie, I want your foot to get better and the only way for that to happen is if you go home. I'm very sorry." Rodney apologized.


(Voting Confessional: Katie)

"I have two choices." Katie said. "There's Staci who's kind of annoying. And then there's Amy who scares me a little... But I'm voting for Staci. I just can't stand her talking so much."

Katie showed a photo of Staci with a X drawn over her face in red marker to the camera.


(Voting Confessional: Amy)

"I hate everyone on this team so it doesn't matter who I vote for." Amy stated. "But for me it's either Staci because she's obnoxious as hell. Katie, because I want her to stop talking about her stupid friend. Or Zeke because he doesn't even want to be here. Give me a few moments... This will be very hard to decide."


The camera cut to the Muskrats sitting by the fire after the votes were cast with Chris in front of them.

"Okay Muskrats. I have counted the votes." Chris informed them. "Rodney, Ezekiel, B, you are the only ones to have no votes against you."

Chris threw the three of them marshmallows.

"One of you only has a single vote against you and will be receiving the next marshmallow." Chris let the remaining three know. "And that person is..."

...

...

...

...

...

...

"... Amy!"

Chris tossed the second to last marshmallow to Amy.

"Staci, Katie, one of you will be leaving tonight." Chris said. "This final marshmallow goes to..."

...

...

...

...

...

...

"... Staci! Surprisingly."

Chris threw the last marshmallow to Staci.

"Did you know marshmallows were invented by my great, great, grandmother Ethel?" Staci asked.

"I'm ignoring that." Chris remarked before he looked at Katie. "Katie, your team has voted you out."

"I understand." Katie accepted. "I just hope Sadie can do better."

Katie walked away from the camp fire.

"I'll be seeing her in a moment." Chris said to the other Muskrats. "The rest of you, go back to your camp. Also, Bev, see our medical team about your face."

B nodded.

The camera cut to a cliff with Katie, Chef, and Chris standing on it. There was a large object under a tarp on the cliff.

"Um... What's that?" Katie asked as she pointed to the covered object.

"It's how you'll be going home." Chris explained.

Chef pulled the tarp off and revealed a giant slingshot.

"Behold, the Slingshot of Shame!" Chris announced.

"Uh... Do I have to get in it?" Katie asked.

"Yes you do." Chris said.

The scene quickly changed to later with Katie sitting in the cradle of the slingshot with Chef pulling it back.

"Any last words?" Chris asked.

"Yeah. Can you get Sadie over here so I can say goodbye?" Katie asked.

"Are you kidding? Her reaction to finding out you've been eliminated later will be priceless." Chris said. "Bye now."

"Wait, can't you please-" Katie began before Chef let go of the slingshot and fired her into the distance.

"Farewell Katie. We knew ye well." Chris said before looking directly into the camera. "How will Sadie cope with her best friend being officially out of the game? Can the Muskrats recover from this defeat? Find out next time on, Total. Drama. Losers!"

Katie, the Sweet Girl (18th Place)


Yep, Staci gets to stay. To be honest, part of me wanted to use Staci as elimination fodder. But the other part of me didn't want to be so predictable. So Staci will be staying around. And as for the actual elimination, I chose to get rid of Katie because if I didn't her and Sadie would pretty much be having the exact same plot. So one of them had to go. To be honest, as characters I've been pretty neutral to both Katie and Sadie so it didn't matter to me which one I eliminated (That, and they both have pretty much the exact same personality). So in the end I ended up eliminating Katie.

I had fun coming up with the challenge for this chapter. Speaking of challenges, if you have any suggestions for one feel free to PM me about it. There's no guarantee I'll use it though. I do realize that the focus on characters wasn't as equal as it was in the previous chapter. But I will give the less focused on characters such as Beardo more attention in the upcoming chapters. Once again, reviews are appreciated.
