Stella- Okay so I can read and speak Spanish, but I'm not so good at writing it. Hopefully this reply makes sense. Si, todos los grupos son interesantes. No puedo esperar para que miren lo que va pasar. Eso es una prediccion muy interesante. Jasmine y Courtney estan en el mismo equipo pero tambien hay muchos villanos. Tenemos que ver que va pasar con todo esto.
ThorBringsTheThunder- It really is a great premise for a story since it can lead to development and interactions that we otherwise would never get to see. I hope I can do a good job with the random die I have been cast. Those are some rather nice predictions you have there. You'll have to wait and see how many end up coming true and which ones you were a little off on. As for ships I don't have them all planned, but I do already have plans for Trent. Trent and Zoey seems like a great idea honestly, but if I were to go with that ship I'd have to change a lot of what I already have in mind. Sorry about that.
N8han11- I love reading cast shuffle fics too. Let's just hope I do a good job writing this. It is a bit disappointing that we have so many contestants already in this canon season, but in my defense it was all random. There's still a good variety of contestants overall so it will still be quite different. I do have plans for making sure that everyone gets some good development and memorable moments throughout this series. While I don't have the cast chosen for RNG Action or RNG World Tour I do know when we eventually get there we won't have the same 5 people hogging all of the screen time and development. Good job picking up on the ships clues I laid. They weren't that hidden but it is still nice to see them being picked up on. Hopefully I do a good job of developing the couples without having them take over the show like they tend to do in canon. As for Izzy and Owen, I honestly forgot about them. I like them, but they never really had any memorable moments as a couple. Sorry about that. They're on opposite teams now but we'll see if they find a way together. Glad you like what I have so far and glad you're sticking around for more.
Gucci Mane LaFlare- Glad to see that you enjoyed the first chapter. There's quite the selection of great characters in this so it won't be hard to find a favorite. I can't wait to write more of Katie without Sadie. She's a little sad and mopey right now, but I guarantee she won't be that way the entire fic. I'll be able to give her a personality and role beyond Sadie which I can't wait for. Dave without Sky is quite another interesting turn of events. Will he find another girl to latch onto or will he be his own person? Only time will tell.
Amazing Brayden- Hope I don't disappoint with this and future chapters.
Yolotsin Xochitl- Okay I forgot about Owen and Izzy. Sorry about that. Can you honestly blame me? While they're both great characters I don't remember much of their relationship. That doesn't mean I don't like it and I'll try to see if I can write it in. I just forgot about it when planning out. Glad you like the cast and let me say I have quite the number of plans for these 22.
Last time on Total Drama Island. 22 campers have signed up to spend 8 weeks right here at this crummy old summer camp, then have to face the judgment of their fellow campers.
The theme song begins with several cameras popping out of various locations. A cue card signals the start of transitioning through the island and past Chris
(Dear Mom and Dad I'm doin' fine)
The camera goes past several trees and up the island's large cliff
(You guys are on my mind)
The camera goes under the water where Owen is shown. He farts underwater accidentally killing a fish.
(You asked me what I wanted to be and now I think the answer is plain to see)
The dead fish pops up along with the fart bubbles. An eagle flies by and picks up the bird. On the beach shore nearby Goeff is shown tanning while Lightning is working out.
(I wanna be Famous)
Ella is singing with her animal friends in the forest. The eagle drops the fish over her scaring away her animal friends. Sugar is shown laughing at Ella's misery while Jasmine glares at Sugar.
(I wanna live close to the sun)
In a raft Heather and Leshawna are having a slap fight. They aren't paying attention to their surroundings and the raft goes over a waterfall with the two girls screaming.
(Well pack your bags cause I've already won)
On a log near the waterfall Leonard is practicing his wizard spells. He is so focused on his spells that he didn't notice Izzy swinging by on a vine. She crashed into him and the two went flying off screen.
(Everything to prove nothing in my way)
Izzy and Leonard go past the camp and crash into Harold right as he was about to enter the confessional. All three of them landed on the floor in pain.
(I'll get there one day)
Inside the Mess Hall Chef is mixing something into his mess of a pot. Cody and Ezekiel are shown tied up and look concerned about what Chef is going to feed them.
(Cause I wanna be famous)
Next to Cody and Ezekiel, Beardo is making several noises. Chef annoyed with his sound effects shoves a spoonful of food into his mouth as well.
(Na nananana nananana nananana)
Outside of the Mess Hall Katie is holding onto Zoey and staring at a nearby Alejandro who is smiling back at the girls, his teeth sparkling in the process. Dave is shown nearby looking towards Zoey before turning and glaring at Alejandro.
(I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous)
At the end of the dock Courtney is shown waving at the camera elegantly. She missteps though and falls into the water with the view panning straight up into the daylight sky.
(I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous)
It quickly turns to night at the campfire ceremony. Sammy and Trent are sitting next to each other. They lean closer to each other, but Amy pulls Sammy's hair, knocks her down, and takes her seat. The rest of the campers are shown sitting around in a circle whistling along to the music.
Back at the top of the cliff all of the contestants were gathered around in their swimsuits. Chris began to explain what their first challenge was going to be. "Okay!" He started off. "Today's challenge is threefold. Your first task is to jump off this 1,000 foot high cliff into the lake." He explained.
"That sounds easy enough." Jasmine confidently said.
"If you look down, you will see two target areas." Chris continued. The targets he was speaking about were shown with there being a large one on the outside and a smaller one inside the larger one. "The wider area represents the part of the lake that we have stocked with psychotic, man-eating sharks." Chris said chuckling. "Inside that area is a safe zone. That's your target area, which we're pretty sure is shark free." He said.
"Excuse me?" Leshawna asked.
Chris merely ignored her and continued on with his explanation of the challenge. "For each member of your team that jumps, and actually survives, there will be a crate of supplies waiting below. Inside each crate are supplies that you'll need for the second part of the challenge, building a hot tub." Chris said. The crates were shown along with an image of what their finished hot tub is supposed to look like. "The team with the best one gets to have a wicked hot tub party tonight. The losers, will be sending someone home. Let's see Killer Bass, you're up first." Chris finished.
"Alright any volunteers to go first?" Jasmine asked her team as she looked over the edge of the cliff.
"Hey, don't sweat it guys. I heard that these shows always make the interns do the stunt first to make sure it's survivable." Owen said reassuringly.
(Flashback)
Chris and Chef were shown of top of the same cliff the contestants were on in the present. "We need to test the stunts first. You know that." Chris told Chef.
"Do I look like an intern?" Chef asked Chris.
"No... but the one's we had are all in the hospital. Come on, just jump it you big chicken." Chris said. He proceeded to make chicken noises as a way of persuading Chef to jump.
"I don't get paid enough for this man." Chef said. He put on his swim goggles and jumped off the cliff screaming his way down. He landed in the water, but not inside of the safe area. "Hey, I made it. I made it man." He said relieved. His moment of calmness faded quickly as he felt something in the water. "I. Something just brushed by my foot! Hey Chris man! Something ain't right down here!" He was quickly pulled underwater before jumping out and running as fast as he could. "Down boy." He yelled to a shark as he continued to run.
Chris checked off a on his clipboard seeing what had occurred to Chef. "Well that seems safe enough." He said nonchalantly as he walked down the cliff.
(End Flashback)
"Make way everyone let Lightning show you how to do this." Lightning said shoving his way to the edge of the cliff. "Sha-bam!" He screamed before taking the jump off the cliff and diving into the water. He landed right in the center of the safe zone making a rather large splash and pumped his fist into the air as he came back up from the water.
"Awesome dive bro. I'll go next." Geoff said eagerly. He jumped off and cheered the whole way down. His hat miraculously stayed on his head as he made it into the water below.
Following Geoff more of the Killer Bass continued to jump. Izzy was next and she laughed hysterically as she fell into the water.
"Look out below." Jasmine yelled towards her teammates as she was about to hit the water.
"Yes!" Harold said ready to jump. As he fell down though he landed in a painful position causing his teammates who had already jumped on the beach to cringe, and his shouts of pain to echo throughout the island. Even the sharks nearby seemed to feel Harold's pain.
Back on top of the cliff Dave looked over the edge and was unsure about jumping. "I don't think I can do this." He said looking down into the water.
"Scared of heights?" Chris asked Dave with fake sympathy.
"Not really the height. The fall is much more terrifying." Dave said.
"That's okay little buddy." Chris said continuing to have fake sympathy towards Dave. "Unfortunately, that also makes you a chicken." He said speaking normally. "So, you'll have to wear this for the rest of the day." He said holding a chicken hat and making chicken noises.
Chris put the chicken hat on Dave causing Dave to shudder. "Is this thing sanitary?" He asked Chris.
"Probably not. Now then the chicken path is that a way." Chris said pointing over at a stair path.
"Where we're these stairs when we climbed up the mountain?" Dave asked. His question however was just ignored.
The other Killer Bass continued to jump. Leonard was next. "Levitation spell." He said before jumping. Just as Leonard was about to hit the water he closed his eyes and his robe got stuck on a nearby rock from the cliff. "Hey it worked." He said surprised. His robe ripped from the rock and he landed harshly in the water.
Alejandro was next to jump, however when he did he was the first one to land outside of the safe zone. The sharks swam near him and his team frantically yelling at him to swim to safety. Alejandro calmly turned towards the sharks and smiled at him. This simple act seemed to have won them over as they carried him all the way to the beach shore.
"Well that was unexpected." Chris said. Courtney stood next to him and she turned to face him.
"Excuse me Chris. I have a medical condition." She informed him.
"What condition?" He asked her.
"A condition that prevents me from jumping off cliffs." She said.
"You can chicken out if you want, but it might end up costing your team the win." Chris informed her. "And then they'll hate you." He added.
"It's a calculated risk." Courtney said. "I've seen the other team, and I don't think nine of them will jump." She said.
Chris went ahead and put the chicken hat on Courtney. "Alright, here's your chicken hat." He told her. "So, let's go ahead and tally up the results. That's seven jumpers and two chicken. Only two more to go." He said.
"What's the point of jumping if I can't be with Sadie." Katie said sitting down near the edge.
"I take it you aren't jumping then?" Chris asked Katie.
Before Katie could answer Zoey walked over to her. "Hey Katie I know you miss your friend, but it'll get better.
"Sadie isn't just my friend, she's my BFFFL. That's Best Female Friend For Life. We've never been apart for more than a few minutes until now." Katie told Zoey.
"Well I know nobody here can replace her, but what if I was your BFFF...TG?" Zoey asked her improvising an acronym.
"What's that?" Katie asked looking up to meet Zoey's eyes.
"Best Female Friend For The Game." Zoey answered her hesitantly.
Katie seemed to cheer up and hugged Zoey tightly. "Eeee I've always wanted a BFFFTG. I didn't even know that counted, but I'm glad to have found one." She said.
(Confessional Camera)
"Well, I did sign up for this to make some new friends. I just hope Katie isn't too sad when she finds out I just made BFFFTG up." Zoey said.
(Confessional End)
"We're on a time limit here girls. Are you jumping or not?" Chris asked them impatiently.
Katie hugged Zoey tightly and nodded her head. "Come on BFFFTG let's jump together." Zoey went along with her just to get it over with and the two landed safely in the water below.
"Okay, so that's nine Killer Bass jumpers, and two chickens. Screaming Gophers, if you can beat that we'll throw in a pull cart to put your crates on." Chris said.
"Nice!" Trent said. "Okay guys, who's up first?" He asked his team.
"I'm sorry. There's no way I'm doing this." Heather said.
"Why not?" Ella asked Heather.
"Hello, national TV." Heather replied. "I'll get my hair wet." She added.
"You have got to be kidding me." Leshawna said.
"Well if she's not doing it then there's now way I will. Samey you can jump twice for us." Amy said.
Before Sammy could reply Leshawna stepped in. "Oh you're doing it." She said.
"Says who?" Heather asked.
"Says me. I'm not losing this challenge cuz you got you hair did you spoiled little daddy's girl." Leshawna said.
The rest of the Screaming Gophers stepped back a bit as Leshawna and Heather seemed to be getting closer to each other. "Back off ghetto glamour, too tight pants wearing, rap star wannabe." Heather said.
"Mall shopping, ponytail wearing, Teen Girl reading, peaking in High School prom queen." Leshawna shot back.
"Well at least I'm popular." Heather simply answered.
The Screaming Gophers looked concerned as to what would happen next between the two girls as neither of them seemed willing to back down. "You're jumping." Leshawna yelled.
"Make me." Having had enough of this Leshawna picked Heather up and threw her straight into the water below. "Leshawna, you are so dead." Heather said as she rose up from the water.
"Hey I threw you into the safe zone didn't I?" Leshawna told Heather done bellow. "Now let's just hope I can hit it too." She said before jumping.
"When are we getting to the talent portion of the pageant?" Sugar asked Chris. Chris laughed as a response causing Sugar to frown before jumping.
"Come on you guys let's do this." Trent said encouraging the rest of his team and jumping.
Ezekiel was next to jump, but on his way down he ended up hitting the side of the cliff. Luckily for him though he still managed to land in the safe zone. As Beardo jumped he made the sound of a missile about to hit it's target, while Cody screamed and flailed his arms the whole time. When Ella jumped the birds that we're following her lifted her slightly to slow down her descent.
"I'm falling on a sunny sunny day. Land in safe, I may." She sang as she fell into the water.
Back on top of the Cliff Sammy looked towards the edge unsure of jumping. "I can't do this. I'm sorry everyone." She said. Chris handed her a chicken hat while Amy started glaring at her.
"Of course you would be the one to chicken out Samey. Why do you have to be so useless? Now who's going to break my fall?" Amy asked her bitterly. Amy looked towards the edge and reluctantly jumped.
"Okay campers, there's only one person left. You guys need this jump for the win." Chris said. "No pressure dude." He told Owen. "Okay there's pressure." He said. His team from bellow was shouting words of encouragement toward him.
(Confessional Camera)
"I was pretty darn nervous. See the thing is, I'm not that strong a swimmer." Owen said.
(Switch)
"I'm looking at this guy, and thinking there's no way he's going to make it." Geoff said.
(Switch)
"I honestly thought if he jumps this, he's most likely going to die." Cody said.
(Confessional End)
"Take a good run at it buddy. You can do this." Chris told Owen.
Owen walked away from the edge as he prepared to jump. "I'm going to die now. I'm going to totally die now." Owen said.
Everyone below was watching and waiting on what he would end up doing. "Come on big guy." Leshawna said.
Owen closed his eyes for a moment, and opened them as he started running toward the edge of the cliff. He jumped off screaming and laughing the entire way down. When he hit the water he made a large splash that not only pushed away anyone still in the water, but also hit those on the beach, tipped over the boat, and hit the sharks.
'Yes! Yeah! Yeah! Who's the man!" Owen cheered.
"The winners. The Screaming Gophers." Chris announced.
"That was awesome dude." Trent told him. "What's wrong?" He asked seeing Owen looking not as excited as he should've.
"I uh... think I lost my bathing suit." Owen said. His team responded with varying amounts of disgust.
Later once everyone had changed out of their swimsuits and picked up the crates they had won the Screaming Gophers were happily singing together while pulling the crates on the cart they had won.
"49 bottles of pop on the wall. 49 bottles of pop. If one of those bottles should happen to fall 48 bottles of pop on the wall." They sang.
Things with the Killer Bass however were not going so well. Without a cart to help them out they struggled to carry their crates from the beach back to the campsite.
"Ouch. I think I just got a splinter." Courtney complained.
"We're already behind so just pick up the crate and we can deal with the splinter when we get back to camp." Jasmine told her.
"Sha-please not like we can trust this chicken anyway." Lightning said picking up Courtney's crate effortlessly.
"Hey! I'm the only with CIT camping experience here. You need me." Courtney said. Her team just looked at her unsure.
(Screaming Gopher)
"32 bottles of pop on the wall." They continued to sing. "32 bottles of pop. If one of those bottles should happen to fall..."
As they moved along Sugar stopped to pick up a conch. She put it to her ear and heard ocean sounds, but it turned out to just be Beardo making the sounds as a joke.
(Killer Bass)
They continued slowly pushing their crates to camp. Leonard suddenly stopped and turned around. "I need to empty my wizard's cauldron." He said heading into the forest.
"If you're saying you need to use the restroom then hurry up. We're already behind." Jasmine told him.
"I have to go too." Katie said. "Come with me BFFFTG." Katie told Zoey.
"Oh I don't really have to go." Zoey said. "But I'd love to go with you." She said seeing Katie's sad expression.
Katie ran off to the nearest bush and Zoey followed hoping they wouldn't take to long.
A nearby fly landed by Courtney's eye and she slapped it. "Ouch. I think something bit me." She complained.
(Screaming Gopher)
"...should happen to fall, 28 bottles of pop on the wall."
"Hey, there's the campground." Sammy said pointing over to the nearby camp.
"That was pretty easy." Owen said.
"I'm pleasantly surprised." Cody added.
(Killer Bass)
"Okay we've spent enough time and the other's are probably almost there we need to pick up the pace." Jasmine said once her teammates returned.
"Let's just get going. I think my eye is swelling up." Courtney said holding her eye.
They got back to pushing their crates toward the campsite. "Okay something is making me totally itchy, real bad." Katie said. "Are you itchy too?" Katie asked Zoey.
"Umm not really." Zoey said.
"Ladies please we must get going." Alejandro told them.
(Screaming Gophers)
At the campsite the Screaming Gophers were trying to open their crates. The problem though was the rules for getting their crates open. "Remember, you can only use your teeth to open the crates." Chris said. "I came up with that one." He told the camera.
"Come on Samey stop being so weak and pull harder." Amy yelled at her sister.
"Why can't you help?" Sammy asked her barely being able to speak with the rope in her mouth.
"You need to make up for being the only person not jumping. Now hurry up and get this dumb crate open." Amy said.
Sammy continued to pull on the crate and eventually it popped open. "Ouch the rope burned my tongue." She said.
"Do you ever stop complaining Samey. Come on we need to get working before the other team catches up." Amy said.
(Killer Bass)
"Okay this is really hurting. I feel like I'm burning." Katie complained. "I'm sorry but I have to scratch." She said stopping where she was and scratching herself fiercely.
Chris arrived to where the Killer Bass were on his ATV. "You guys are way behind the other team. Like way behind." He told them. "What's the problem?" He asked.
"Among several things Katie's but is itchy." Courtney told him.
Chris jumped back shocked at Courtney's swollen eye. "Gah! Man that looks really bad." He said.
"Katie by chance did you squat down when you peed in the woods?" Alejandro asked her.
"Yeah." Katie answered.
"Did you happen to notice what kind of plants you were squatting over?" Dave asked her.
"They were kind of oval shaped, and green, and all over the place." Katie answered.
"Were they low to the ground and about ye big?" Jasmine asked spreading her hands out slightly.
Katie nodded to Jasmine's question leading Alejandro, Jasmine, and Dave to the same conclusion. "You squatted on poison ivy." The three said. Katie started panicking and dragged her but across the beach floor.
"Ha ha. Now way. That's awesome, haha." Chris said laughing at the poor girl.
"Can we hurry it up we're already sha-losing." Lightning said getting impatient.
"Let me take care of this." Leonard said. He pointed his wand towards Katie preparing one of his spells. "Rashus Disappearus!." He shouted. Of course nothing happened and everyone just started at him.
"I'll stay here and help Katie with her poison ivy problem. I've had some experience with it myself. The rest of you just try to get there as fast as you can." Izzy said. She dragged Katie who was still screaming near the lake. Lightning and Jasmine took the extra crates that Izzy and Katie left behind and moved on forward.
(Screaming Gophers)
Having opened all of their crates the Screaming Gophers were moving on to see what they could find inside to build their hot tub.
"Hey check it out, I've got wood." Owen said lifting up to planks of wood from the crate.
"I've got some tools here, and what looks like a pool linear." Trent said.
Nearby Heather approached Leshawna with Ella following closely by. "I just wanted to say I didn't mean that about you being a ghetto rap star wannabe." Heather told her. "And I love your earrings. They're so pretty." She added.
"Straight up?" Leshwana replied surprised. "Well, I'm sorry for pushing you off the cliff and all." She said.
"No worries. I needed a push. Truce." Heather said extending her hand out.
"Yeah, you got it." Leshawna answered.
Heather and Ella walked off together. "Oh Heather I think it is truly wonderful that you and Leshawna are making up." Ella told her.
"Ha, no. She's going down. And PS, those are the ugliest earrings I've seen in my life." Heather said
"But Heather why would you pretend to befriend her? Ella asked.
"Have you seen one of these shows before? You keep your friends close, and your enemies closer." Heather told her.
"I think I understand." Ella said. "Of course we're friends aren't we Heather?" Ella asked.
"Oh yeah." Heather said. "For now." She added before walking away. Ella did not seem to care much for this added part though.
While the Screaming Gophers were making nice progress on their hot tub, the Killer Bass had barely just arrived. "Finally." Harold said tired from having pushed the crate all the way there.
"Hey what's up guys." Trent told them.
"Hey aren't you missing a couple of white girls?" Leshawna asked.
"Izzy is helping Katie get a drink." Courtney told them.
"Yeah, if she drank with her but." Harold whispered to Alejandro.
Courtney walked over near Leshwawna who gasped seeing her eye. "What happened to your eye girl?" Leshawna asked.
"Nothing. Just an allergy." Courtney replied.
"I would be careful or your eye could get an infection." Alejandro told her.
Courtney went over and shushed Alejandro. "Shut it. We don't want them to think we're weak." She told Alejandro.
The Killer Bass gathered around and Geoff stood on top of the crates. "Okay dudes, it's not too late. We can do this." He said. His team however did not seem as convinced as he was.
"Do not worry I am sure there is a hot tub building spell somewhere in this book." Leonard said. He flipped through his spell book and held out his wand prepared to cast a spell.
Dave rolled his eyes and stood up. "Does anybody have a helpful idea?" He asked.
"Okay look guys we have a hot tub to complete, and we need a project manager. Since I've actually been a CIT before, I'm electing myself." Courtney said.
"What does being a CIT have to do with building a hot tub?" Jasmine asked Courtney.
Courtney ignored her question and continued to give orders. "Let's get these crates open now. Zoey go bring Izzy and your itchy BFF-whatever back here now. We need all the help that we can get." She said.
A series of building montages comparing the progress that the two teams were making on their hot tubs began to play. First Beardo and Ezekiel were shown hammering a different side of a nice looking hot tub. In comparison Harold and Geoff were shown working on a poorly put together one that quickly collapsed. The second scene featured Heather handing Trent a hammer to use. The Killer Bass however struggled with Lightning and Alejandro fighting over a hammer. Their struggle caused it to go flying and hit Leonard who was not paying attention since he was reading his spell book. In the third scene, the Screaming Gophers made an assembly line to take water to the hot tub. The members of the assembly line were Ella, Cody, Owen, and Sammy. The Killer Bass were shown putting duct tape over their hot tub. As the montage ended both teams were shown with their finished hot tub and Chris was voting. He walked over to each hot tub and inspected them closely.
"This is an awesome hot tub." He said after a moment with the Screaming Gopher's hot tub. They cheered at his approval. He looked at the Killer Bass hot tub not as pleased. As Chris tapped the hot tub he got sprayed with water and the entire thing quickly fell apart. "Well I think we have a winner here." He said before pausing. "The Screaming Gophers. Gophers, you're safe from elimination, and you get to rock this awesome hot tub for the rest of the summer. BONUS!" He announced. "Killer Bass, what can I say it sucks to be you right now. I'll see your sorry buts at the bonfire tonight." Chris said.
"We won. We all get to stay here for another three days." Sammy said excited. Her, Heather, and Ella cheered, but their moment was ruined by Owen who was also celebrating, only naked from having been in the hot tub. Sammy and Ella covered their eyes while Heather just looked at him annoyed.
"Yes we get to stay! We are so awesome! We won the contest." Owen cheered and danced. He went over to hug Heather and Sammy making them very uncomfortable.
As everyone was walking away Leonard woke up from being unconscious. "Did my spell work?" He asked his team. Everyone just ignored him and kept on walking away.
At dinner hours later the Killer Bass were discussing what to do next.
"So um what do we do now?" Katie asked.
"We have to figure out who we're going to vote off." Courtney said.
"Well it's clear that we're either going to go with Courtney or Dave." Alejandro said.
"What! Why?" Courtney asked shocked.
"I apologize senorita, but you and he are the only ones who did not jump. That contributed heavily to the other team getting the victory today." He explained.
"You guys need me. I'm the only one...' Courtney started to say before Jasmine cut her off.
"Who used to be a real CIT. You keep bringing that up but I don't see how it's helpful. It clearly didn't help us build a better hot tub." Jasmine said.
"Well I helped out more than he did." Courtney said pointing at Dave.
"Hey at least I didn't slow down the team with a poison ivy rash." He said pointing at Katie. "And at least I don't think I'm a wizard who was unconscious for a good portion of the challenge." He said pointing to Leonard.
"Don't eliminate the wizard." Sugar yelled out from across the room.
"At least rash girl and wizard dude jumped. If you ask me though you all should go home after today's performance." Lightning said.
"Shut it. I don't remember you doing more than anyone else. If you're so strong why didn't you carry all the crates yourself." Courtney yelled toward Lightning.
"Okay let's all chill out. This is getting way too heavy." Geoff said.
"Lightning has had enough of this. I'm sha-out of here." Lightning said getting up.
"You can't do that. We haven't decided who we're voting for yet." Courtney told him.
"Are we seriously considering keeping around the guy who thinks he's a wizard." Dave complained.
"Maybe my powers aren't working properly because there is a non believer on our team." Leonard said.
"You aren't a wizard." Dave yelled at him.
"Alright that's enough. Let's just go vote. We have plenty of options to chose from." Jasmine said. Everyone got up and went off to cast their vote.
(Confessional Camera)
"Chris should've put Lightning on a team of one. I'm used to carrying a team back home, but at least they know how to play the game." Lightning complained.
(Switch)
"Quite the selection of people to choose from today. I wonder who shall end up going home." Alejandro said.
(Confessional End)
At the campfire ceremony the Killer Bass were gathered around and ready to see who was going to be voted off. "Killer Bass at camp marshmallows represent a tasty treat to be enjoyed by the fire. At this camp, marshmallows represent life." Chris said. "You've all cast your vote and made your decision. When I call your name come up, and claim your marshmallow. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow tonight, must immediately return to the dock of shame, to catch the boat of losers. That means you're out of the contest. And you can't come back... Ever." Chris explained. "The first marshmallow goes to... Geoff. Geoff ran up eagerly to get his marshmallow. "Lightning."
"Sha-bam." Lightning exclaimed grabbing his marshmallow.
"Zoey... Izzy... Alejandro... Harold.. and Jasmine." Chris said. Each of them picked up their marshmallow and joined the rest who were safe.
Dave, Courtney, Katie, and Leonard were the only one left and they each had a reason to be voted off. Chris waited a moment before he announced the next person who was safe. "Katie." He revealed.
"Oh thank you thank you." Katie said running over to hug Zoey.
"Dave." Chris said calling him over. He happily went to pick up the marshmallow.
"That was too close." Dave said mostly to himself.
"Campers, this is the final marshmallow of the evening." Chris said. Both Courtney and Leonard were shown looking worried about getting eliminated. Chris waited for quite a moment continuing the suspense that he had built up.

Courtney." He revealed.
"Magic boots and armpit smells. Bring forth a time reversal spell." Leonard yelled out desperately. As usual nothing happened. "Fireball. Lightning bolt." He said trying to cast more spells.
"Nice try Leonard, but the dock of shame is that-a-way." Chris said. Leonard gave up on his spells and headed down to the boat. "The rest of you, enjoy your marshmallows. You're all safe... for tonight." Chris said.
The Screaming Gophers were all enjoying their hot tub party. "To the Screaming Gophers." Cody said raising a box of juice to his team.
Leshawna, Owen, and Ezekiel started cheering and dancing. "Go Gophers! Go Gophers! Go! Go! Go Gophers!"
The Killer Bass passed by their party on the way to their cabins. Courtney stopped and look seriously into the camera. "Are you recording this?" She asked the cameraman. "Good. They can enjoy their little party all they want, but I am going to win this competition. And no one is going to stop me." She said seriously.

Elimination Explanation: So I know a lot of people were hoping for Leonard to go farther since he was underused in canon. I do have ideas for how to make underused canon characters stand out, but I couldn't think of anything for Leonard. I'm sure he has potential as a character, but there weren't any story ideas I would have liked writing over others. There are still at least two future seasons with this cast so there's always a future chance for him. I don't think I did that good of a job at explaining why he was eliminated, but at the same time I didn't want to make it too obvious either. Hope you enjoyed.
A/N: Well there's our first chapter. It's later than I expected, but the site wasn't working well, and I was having problems accessing my account. Still on Sunday though so that's fine.
This chapter ended up being a little similar to canon, but at the same time enough differences to make it stand out slightly. I didn't realize it until I started writing this, but the team that I chose for the Killer Bass is really dysfunctional. The Screaming Gophers have their own share of problems, namely Amy and Heather, but they still have a lot more cooperation compared to the Killer Bass. The team dynamics are going to be a lot of fun to keep writing. Courtney and Jasmine both seem like they want to be the leader. Lightning isn't taking orders from anyone, and Alejandro is probably scheming something. We'll have to see how things end up developing there.
Some plot points I'm going to have fun with are Katie and Zoey's new friendship. Zoey is a nice girl, and if her friendship with Dakota is any example it's not easy for her to break off a friendship even when she wants to. Without Gwen around it might seem Heather is out of a rivalry, but I do have something planned for that. Something that I very briefly teased in this chapter. I wonder if anyone will find it, but I doubt it with how small the interaction is. It's basically unnoticeable. There wasn't much romance this chapter, but to be honest there wasn't much in the original episode so that's fine.
Let me know what you thought of the chapter and the elimination. I hope that you all enjoyed and I'll go ahead and see you next week with The Awakeathon. I think that'll be the most different from canon since it's 90% character interactions.
