Hey! :D
So, this chapter was much easier to complete, which is good. Originally I thought it was going to take forever, like the previous one, but it wasn't.
This episode's song is kinda like a mix between two related things, and those things you will find out as it goes on. Sorry if they make it sound confusing. Oh, and you're gonna LOVE the original song that it's based off! You all know it :-) clue: it's from The Lion King.
Anyway, enjoy!
"Last time on Total Drama World Tour, Take Two! We dive-bombed into Vegas, and kicked off an epic wedding challenge, where each team was assigned one of four couples. They had to get them ready, make them a cake, and since this is one of the LED capitals, make an LED sign! But, unfortunately, Team Mali lost their cake decorations, because someone had taken them off. And it looks like he might have two girls hot on his trail! Anyway…yada yada, everything was fairly boring until the second part of the challenge! And oh-ho-ho, that was WICKED! Our four couples had to ride fully trained racehorses around the streets of Vegas instead of prancing ponies. After a garbage-y finish, Team Zulu won again, and Team Mali sent Justin packing because of his crappy priest performance! Oh, and Heather seems to be back to her normal self…is she really? Or was that just a one-off? I dunno! You'll have to find out right here, right now, on Total! Drama! Wooorld Toooouuuuur! Take Two!"
XXXX – Upper middle class
"Yes! No economy class tonight!" Sasha cheers, punching her fist in the air. "Sleeping in there made my whole entire body ache."
"Just one step away from first class! Next time, that's gonna be us up there!" Tyler adds.
"Booyah…" Harold, who is sleeping, mumbles.
Confessional – Tyler:
"You know what else is awesome? We got to keep our cake from the last challenge! Man, it tastes GOOD!"
XX
"How long is that cake going to last?" Cameron asks.
"Probably about…hmm…actually, I have no idea." Beth replies. "But we're gonna have it for a while!"
"EEEEEEEE!" Katie and Sadie squeal.
XX – Lower middle class
Everyone is asleep except for Bridgette and Zoey, who are quietly talking.
*sigh* "Well, we may not have won, but at least we're not in economy class." The latter whispers.
"We still have to be careful though. Anything could happen." The former whispers back. "I don't like how Heather acted towards Kat. I'm worried that she might be back to her old tricks again."
"Yeah...but then again, it's Heather we're talking about."
"Hey, could you keep it down a bit?" A voice asks from the other side of the room. "I'm just a light sleeper, that's all."
"Oh, sorry about that. Well…night." Zoey says before pulling the blankets over her
"Goodnight."
XX – Economy class
"Oof…great, why didn't Chris consider putting in mattresses?" Courtney complains.
"I don't know. I honestly can't think how I can get any beauty sleep on the ground!" Dakota replies. "Any bed would be fine, but not the floor!"
"Can't actually complain." Scott says, pulling a blanket over him. "I prefer this to sleeping on a sack stuffed with animals. Imagine something biting your butt in the middle of the night!"
"Ouch…that would hurt." David winces.
"Dude, that sounds painful!" Geoff exclaims. *yawn* "Night, everyone."
"Night." A few mutter back.
XX – First Class
Isabelle happily settles down in her bed, smiling.
"First class again…can't get any better than this." She sighs.
In the hallway, Leshawna and Gwen are talking.
"Hoo boy, feels good to be here again." The former says.
"You're telling me." The latter replies. "Hopefully we won't see much of economy class. That'd be nice."
"And we got a lotta cake to go with it! Damn, that stuff is delicious! I do wonder how long it's gonna last."
"Probably all season, unless Owen eats it all."
"Ha, that could happen." *yawn* "I'm just gonna go…hit the hay."
"Ok, night."
Next day…
"Gooooood morning everyone!" Chris yells over the loudspeaker. "Meet in the dining room pronto!"
XX – Economy class
"Yeesh, what a wake-up call." Geoff groans, slowly getting up.
"I am so sore all over!" Dakota complains, sitting up and rubbing her back. "We better win today's challenge! Or at least get out of here!"
"That I'd agree to." Courtney adds. "But, I guess it does depend on what the challenge is."
*sigh* "True."
Mike sits up, and looks across to the other side of the room.
"Hey, we're not all awake." He says.
Eva is sprawled out under her blanket, still breathing heavily.
"Um…dibs on not waking her up!" Izzy says quickly, not wanting to face the female bully's wrath.
"Just let her wake up on her own accord." Dawn suggests. "As for now, I think we should be heading off to the dining room."
XX – Dining room
All four teams sans Eva are waiting in the dining hall as Chris walks in.
"Alrighty." He says cheerfully. "Today's challenge will be taking place on the plane!"
"Uh…why's that?" Sam asks.
"Well…we haven't decided on a location…so you guys will be playing board games!"
Everyone groans, except for Noah.
"Finally. A challenge where my knowledge will become actually useful." The cynic mutters.
"So, what games are we gonna play then?" Logan asks as Eva joins the group.
"We got two card games and two board games – Solitaire, Uno, Monopoly and Scrabble!" The host replies, holding up a picture of each game.
"Wait, how will Solitaire work?" Cameron asks.
"Here's the deal: a randomly chosen teammate will go against the other teams in one of the four games. For Uno – whoever has the most amount of cards or has the least wins is out, and the other three on to the next round. Scrabble is simple – get as many points as you can. Solitaire is whoever has the slowest time, and lastly, Monopoly. When the round has finished, count up your money, and the loser is whoever has the least."
"How will we be randomly chosen?" Cody asks, subconsciously inching away from a drooling Sierra.
"Well, firstly, since the teams are uneven, Teams Zulu and Aztec will have to choose someone to sit out."
The two aforementioned teams go into huddles, and come out a few seconds later.
"Imma sittin' out dis one." Anne Maria says, stepping away. "I've never really been dat great with board games 'n stuff."
"And we decided on Lightning." Heather adds, pushing the uber-jock to the ground.
Confessional – Heather:
"I must admit, that was quite a hard decision to make. Because then again, there's Lindsay, who's just as dumb. But, I'd prefer her instead of that arrogant meathead."
XX
Chris pulls out a remote. "Right! Let's get this thing started!"
A screen behind Chris lights up, showing everyone's names in a colour coded table. At the top is 'SCRABBLE' in big letters.
"Whoever's names are in the same row as yours, that's who you'll be playing against."
Each of the teens scan the screen for their names, and move into groups of four.
"So, uh, where do we play?" Geoff asks.
"Anywhere in the plane, except for my quarters and the cockpit."
Confessional – Katie & Sadie:
"So…I'm up against Matt, Noah and Izzy…yeah, I'm totally screwed." The former sighs sadly
"Aw, don't worry!" The latter reassures her friend. "I'm, like, sure you'll do well!"
XX
The contestants all move off to somewhere in the plane for the game.
XX – Elimination area
Scott, Staci, Zoey and Tyler walk in.
"Let's go here." Tyler says, putting the Scrabble box on the ground near the voting confessional.
"Yah, my great-great-" Staci begins, but Zoey quickly interrupts her.
"Sorry Staci, but could you save that for later?"
"Oh…uh, sure!"
Meanwhile, Jake, Geoff, Leshawna and Logan are already set up on the bleachers.
"So, y'all know how to play Scrabble, right?" Leshawna asks the three guys.
"Yeah."
"Sure do."
"Yep."
"Alright then."
"I'll go first." Logan volunteers.
XX – Dining Hall
There is a group at three of the four tables. At the one closest to the kitchen is Brick, Celeste, Dakota and Beth.
"Um…are you alright?" Beth asks Celeste, who is frowning at the table.
"Nothing. Just got really crap letters." She replies. "Oh, got one though."
The other three watch as Celeste puts down an F, followed by an L, and lastly, a Y.
"Not worth much, but it's a word."
"Wait, are we keeping scores?" Dakota asks, pulling a pink notebook and pen out. "I can, if we are."
Across from them are Katie, Noah, Izzy and Matt, who are still sorting out their letters.
"And that's when I got a new set of cards from an octopus!" Izzy says excitedly. "Cool, right?"
"Uh…" Katie begins, not really too sure on what to say.
"Oh, and there was this other time…"
"Izzy, that's enough for now." Noah interrupts her as he picks out his last letter.
"Save the stories for after the challenge." Matt puts in.
"Aw, but it was getting exciting! Oh, wanna hear about-"
"NO!" The crazy girl's three opponents hurriedly shout, causing Sadie and Kat to look behind them in bewilderment.
"W-what happened?" The latter asks.
"Oh, like, just Izzy being Izzy." Katie replies.
"Which is normal." Noah nonchalantly adds, rolling his eyes.
Confessional – Noah:
"Still can't believe I'm against that nutcase. Also the only person who could potentially beat me in any board or card game. In my dictionary, psycho can also relate to smart. And I heard about what happened at the telethon from season three."
XXXX – Economy class
Only one group decided to play here – Isabelle, Lindsay, Eva and Harold. They are well into their game, with three words already on the board – pass (somehow Lindsay), arrow (Eva) and olives (Harold).
"Ooh! I have a good one!" Isabelle exclaims, grabbing letters from her tray. She puts each one down, the third letter being the S on 'olives'. Eventually, the new word is shown to be 'foster'. "Wow, triple letter and double word score! That's…34, I think."
Harold writes the score down on a piece of paper.
"Oh, does that mean I'm next?" Lindsay asks.
"Yep." The nerd replies.
XX – Lower middle class
There is only one group in here as well, but this time, it's a group of guys – Cody, Cameron, Duncan and David.
"Ok..." The tech geek begins, having just finished putting down 'food'. "Double letter score…that's 10 points." He writes it down in a small notebook.
Noticing that he is next, David takes a good look at his letters, trying to work out a word.
Confessional – David:
"I think I've got the worst letters possible. There's a J, an X, and a bunch of others…but only one vowel…"
XXXX – First class
The remaining three groups are playing up in first class. Gwen, Heather, Dawn and DJ are grouped around one table, Mike, Trent, Sierra and Sasha at the other, and Alejandro, Courtney, Bridgette and B are on the floor next to the lookout window.
"Wow, first class is amazing!" Sasha exclaims.
"Omg I know, right?" Sierra replies.
"You're lucky to have been here twice! I haven't even been here once."
"Uh…girls?" Trent begins, but to no avail.
"Well, you have now! Oh, one day you guys will win a challenge!"
"Hopefully!"
"Girls!" Mike exclaims. "Keep focussed!"
"Oh…sorry!" Both girls quickly say, just as a scrabble piece hits the back of the uber-fan's head.
"Ow!" She yells, turning round. "What the…"
"Oops, missed me!" Heather taunts.
"Oh yeah? NOT THIS TIME!" Gwen shouts, grabbing a handful of letters from the box.
Dawn and DJ crouch down in fear, not really wanting to be a part of it.
*ding*
"SERIOUSLY?" Courtney screams from off-screen.
"Song time kiddies!" Chris yells over the intercom. "Just when things couldn't get any better! Oh, you'll love this song!"
Heather suddenly leaps down from her chair and runs off, grabbing Gwen's diary from under a cushion along the way.
"HEY!" The goth yells, sprinting after the queen B.
(The camera speeds ahead to Heather, just as a quick drumming starts the song)
Heather: I'm gonna win this fair and square, so you better beware!
Gwen: I think you need to clean up that act and just look over there (Heather looks ahead, only to smack into the wall. Gwen's diary slips out of her hand).
Heather: You'll have to do better than that if you want to catch me now. (She peels herself off the wall and picks up the diary, then running off. Gwen quickly follows. They reach middle class).
Gwen: Won't turn around, just give it back, or you gonna get-OWWWW!" (Gwen falls flat on her face – Cody accidentally tripped her up).
Heather: (taunting) So far, a rather uninspiring cry (Gwen gets up and quickly gives chase).
Both: Oh I just can't wait for you to die! (Elimination, not actual death. Ok?)
(Cody looks on in confusion. David, Cameron and Duncan poke their heads out, all three equally as befuddled).
(Gwen and Heather run around corner after corner, and go into economy class, nearly disrupting Lindsay, Eva, Isabelle and Harold's game).
Heather: I'm not gonna back down! OOF!
Gwen: (tackles Heather to the ground) I'd like to see you try! Now give me back what's…rightfully mine! (Both go into a strangely rhythmic tussle).
Both: You'll never fool me or put me into shame!
Somehow I'll triumph over you in this game!
I'll just sit there, laughing as you complain!
Oh I just want to kick you off the plane!
Oh I just want to kick you off the plane!
(Two objects suddenly go flying into the air – Gwen's diary, and Eva's MP3 player).
Oh I just want to… (Gwen leaps for her diary, and Eva suddenly jumps up, only just managing to catch her MP3) …kick you off the plane!
(Heather runs ahead to try and knock the diary out of Gwen's hands, but ends up getting a boot to the face, and she lands on the game board, sending all the letters flying. Lindsay, Harold and Isabelle quickly scramble out of the way, barely dodging the queen B. Gwen lands on top of her, and Eva takes a footed landing on the floor, thus ending the song).
By this time, quite a crowd has gathered at the economy class entrance.
"You done yet?" Chris asks after checking his watch. "It's time to move on to the next round."
"Uh…yep, I guess we're done." Gwen replies, slowly rolling off a groaning Heather.
Confessional – Gwen:
"For the record, this…"
X
Heather:
"…isn't over yet. I still…"
X
"…have 'stuff' to say…"
X
"…to that *bleep*!"
XXXX – Dining hall
The contestants file into the dining hall, splitting off into their teams.
"This round was pretty boring, except for one thing that happened…heheh." Chris chuckles. "I was hoping to get some action from you two."
"Shut up, Chris." Gwen interrupts from off-screen as a few scrabble pieces pelt the host in the face.
"OW! Ok, FINE. Spoil the drama. Anyhoo, back to this. If your name disappears from the screen, you're out."
Everyone eagerly looks up at the screen on the wall as names start vanishing, some groaning in disappointment and sitting down. By the time it is finished, the missing names are Bridgette, David, Heather, Isabelle, Geoff, Katie, Sadie, Trent and Staci. Owen's and Tyler's names had also turned green.
"So, let's get on with round two!"
The screen on the wall blurs over, and clears up, showing a smaller table with 'UNO' at the top.
"Same rules apply, so go find your opponents and get this game on!"
Everyone still in the game walks off in their new groups, feeling fairly satisfied with their opponents. That is, except one.
Confessional – Courtney:
"No, no, no, no, NO! I REFUSE to play against that JERKFACE! Chris can't make me!"
*knock knock*
"WHAT?"
"HURRY UP!" Eva bellows from the other side, immediately making the CIT's face go pale.
XX
"Chris, why am I not on there?" Owen asks.
"I'd ask the same thing." Tyler adds, for the new table didn't have either of their names in it anywhere.
"Oh. That. Well, two members from each of your teams were randomly chosen to be eliminated by default, to keep the team numbers even." Chris replies, smirking. "And it just happened to be you two."
"Aw…but I'm really good at Uno!" The eating machine complains.
*yawn* "Sorry, can't do much about it now. You can join the others and watch, if you want."
XX – First class
Logan walks in, chucking a deck of Uno cards (held together by a rubber band) in the air. Gwen, Izzy and Sasha are not far behind.
"Well, peace and quiet this time." Sasha remarks, sighing with relief as she flops down next to the lookout window. "Wait, I didn't jinx myself, did I?"
Lindsay and Beth's voices are heard coming closer, their conversation filled with guys, shopping and clothes.
"Hate to say it, but I think you did." Gwen replies as the two talkative girls wander in, followed by Courtney and Duncan.
"Oh snap…"
XX – Upper middle class
Matt, Zoey, Jake and Mike are all grouped next to a small window, each with seven cards. On the ground, a red eight sits next to the pile of 'unused' cards.
"Ok, so…I'll go first, I guess." Matt volunteers, putting down a red three. He looks between the two season four contestants, who are on either side of him. "Who's next?"
After a few seconds, Zoey shrugs and puts down two green threes.
XX – Dining hall
"Change to…yellow." Leshawna says, having just put down a wild card.
"Damn it." Noah mutters as he picks up a card from the pile.
Kat scans her hand (of cards), and puts down a yellow draw two. Harold follows it up with a blue one.
"Well…" The sister with 'tude begins, the other three thinking she's out of luck. But, to their surprise, she puts down another blue draw two.
Noah's eyes widen and he looks at his last three cards. He then looks at Leshawna, who is smirking, as are the other two.
"You guys suck." He says, picking up the first of his six cards as the others snicker in response.
Confessional – Leshawna:
"Ha! Now that's satisfying!"
XX
At another table, Alejandro, Dawn, Cameron and Celeste had all seen what just happened, and are smugly looking on. Until…
"Uno." Celeste says, putting down a green skip.
Alejandro frowns in annoyance, realizing that he was originally next. Dawn just calmly puts down a draw four.
"Change to red." She declares as Cameron looks through his own cards, trying to find something to counteract it.
XX – Economy class
"Ha! I win!" Scott cheers, grinning as he puts down his last card – a red seven.
Sam, Sierra and DJ groan in annoyance as the dirt farmer gets up and does a little victory dance, nearly knocking Eva over.
"Watch it, you freak." She growls, punching Scott across to the other side of the room.
Everyone else in the room (except B) laughs, including Chris, who had just entered.
"That's one way to get payback!" He chuckles before walking back out. "Fifteen minutes left!"
Having gathered all the cards, Sam reshuffles the deck, then looking back to where Scott is.
"Heheh…feel free to join in when you're ready." He chuckles, Sierra also giggling.
Scott glares at the gamer as he peels himself off the wall.
Confessional – Scott:
"GRR…they will pay."
XX
Brick, Cody, B and Eva are all on their last two cards.
Previously, they had been through two games, and Cody had easily won both. But now, it was anyone's game.
B takes one of his cards – a blue five – and puts it down on the still growing pile.
Then…
…
…
…
…HE SPEAKS.
"Uno." He says, scaring the life out of his opponents.
Confessional – Cody:
Cody sits there, struggling to get his words out. Every time he tries, he fails. But eventually, he gets somewhere.
"He…talked?
X
Brick:
"But…i-it's impossible!"
X
Eva:
"…What the heck just happened?"
XX
"Wait…so you CAN talk?" The tech geek asks, his eyes wide.
B nods his head, confusing them even more.
"B-but how?" Brick stammers, scratching the back of his head. "If you're not talking now, then how?"
The silent teen simply starts miming what he wants to say, but it seems to get him nowhere.
"Uh…" Sam begins, having also witnessed the one single word. "Maybe save it for later. Sound cool?"
B nods again and goes back to the game.
XX – First class
Gwen, Logan, Izzy and Sasha are surprisingly quiet, mainly due to the amount of talking from the other group.
"Oh, and one time I bought this really pretty skirt!" Lindsay babbles. "It was black with pink sparkles!"
"Wow! That's so amazing!" Beth, who is sitting opposite her friend, replies. "Did you find a top to go with it? And shoes?"
"Not yet, but I hope I will soon!"
Meanwhile, Courtney is casting bored glances between the two, waiting for the blonde to take her turn (it's been five minutes already) and Duncan had fallen asleep face-first on the table…that also happened five minutes ago.
And there was no point in interrupting either of the three.
"Oh man, those two are giving me a headache." Logan groans, rubbing his temples.
"Me too…" Sasha adds, spreading out on the floor to rest. "If only I could sleep anywhere. That'd be nice." She looks up to see a yellow nine being placed on the discarded pile.
"Can't…be bothered…celebrating…" Gwen mumbles, lying face down on the floor, now empty handed.
Izzy had also given up, and is curled up on the floor, fast asleep.
Confessional – Lindsay:
"Ok, this challenge has got to be the most boring one ever! I'm so glad that I had Beth to talk to!"
XX – A few minutes later
The camera slowly pans across the first class dining room. By this time, everyone except Beth, Lindsay (they're still talking) and Sasha had fallen asleep. Gwen and Logan are both spread out on the ground, whilst Courtney had fallen off her chair.
"Attention useless competitors. Round two is now over, so if you could please report to the dining hall in five minutes for round three." Chris announces over the intercom, making it sound like a boarding call. And, it somehow manages to put an end to Lindsay and Beth's conversation.
"We should probably go down now." The latter decides, getting up.
"Yeah, good idea." The former adds, following her friend out of first class.
Sasha slowly pulls herself up, and looks around at the sleeping contestants. Deciding not to wake them, she tiptoes out of the room.
XX – Dining hall
"Ok…wait, why are we missing a few?" Chris asks, noticing the absences.
"Um…they fell asleep?" Sasha nervously replies.
"Hmph, that's gonna be just great for ratings. Chef!"
Chef walks past with several buckets of ice cold water, shocking some of the cast.
Confessional – Trent:
"They wouldn't really do that, right?" He wonders, scratching his head. *sigh* "Well, it is Chris I'm talking about…"
XX – First class
"AHHHHHH!" Courtney shrieks, having just been soaked with the icy water.
"Round's over, girly." Chef says, roughly pulling her up.
Frowning in annoyance, the CIT clenches her fists and stomps out of the room, her feet leaving wet footprints on the carpet
"What the heck was that meant to be?" Logan asks, having been awoken by the scream. However, he gets no reply.
The cook smirks as he approaches his next victim – Duncan. But, before he can pour the contents of the bucket out, a hand almost instinctively punches it away.
"Not this time." The delinquent growls, eyes suddenly widening when he looks up and sees where the bucket is headed. "Ohhhhh crap…"
It makes a watery arc across the room. Logan manages to dodge it, and looks back to see it land smack bang on an unsuspecting Gwen.
"Ow…ok, what kind of sick…prank…" She trails off as she looks at the two dumbfounded guys and an indifferent Chef. "Uh…never mind then."
Izzy suddenly sits up and looks around wildly.
"What happened? Did I miss the spaceship to Pluto? Oh, oh, have they seen any of those purple aliens?" She asks, talking in her normal crazy tone.
The others just get up and leave the room, weirded out by the crazy girl's questions.
"Hey, wait for me!"
XX – Dining hall
"Took you lot long enough." Chris says in a scolding tone as Duncan, Izzy, Gwen and Logan shuffle in. "Round three should have started five minutes ago."
"Well, if the challenge wasn't so boring, then we wouldn't have fallen asleep." Logan replies, the other three glaring at the host.
"Whatever. Ok, NOW we can start the next round!"
The screen blurs over again, and clears up to show an even smaller table than before. This time, 'MONOPOLY' is at the top.
"If your name isn't on the screen, you're not playing in this round." Chris says. "Now GET STARTED ALREADY!"
Half of the contestants scurry off, some picking up Monopoly boxes from a small pile along the way. Soon, it's just the eliminated players left – with the additions of DJ, Sasha, Lindsay, Eva, Brick, Celeste, Leshawna and Mike.
"Wait…so we're both out of this round?" Brick asks, gesturing to himself and Eva.
"Yep. Turns out Cody and B racked up two wins each, so that's why." Chris replies.
XX – Economy class
"Ooh, ooh, dibs on the boot!" Izzy says excitedly, pulling the small silver boot from the box.
"I'll uh…go for the money bag." Sam adds, holding up the aforementioned counter. "Oh, and who's gonna be the…property manager or something?"
Harold holds up the stack of property cards, then beginning to sort them into their color coded groups.
"Izzy's gonna control the money!" The crazy girl continues, grinning maliciously. "Izzy's gonna say if it goes, or if it stays!"
"Um…I don't think that's part of the game Izzy…" Harold begins, but he's cut off.
"Well, it is now! Hahaha!"
Confessional – Harold:
"Man, can she get any crazier?"
X
Duncan:
"Having to go through a round where two chicks just wouldn't shut up about shopping was torture. Now I have to deal with a couple of nerds and a psycho who also won't shut up." He groans and rolls his eyes. "Great challenge choice McLean."
XXXX – Dining hall
"Alright, your turn, redneck." Noah says, putting a chance card on the bottom of its pile.
Scott glares at the cynic, not liking the nickname at all.
"Shut. Up." He mutters through gritted teeth, his left hand clenching into a fist.
Cameron nervously starts backing away from the table, and Gwen glances indifferently between the two guys.
"Oh, really? Ok then. I will 'shut up'. Because I would love to hear what you did in Vegas."
"Helped made a stupid sign, stood around doing nothing, what did you expect?"
"Surely you did more than that, right? I saw you tiptoeing off. What was that supposed to be?"
"No! I did nothing else for you to be worrying about!"
"Well, I think you did." Courtney puts in from her group's table, standing up.
"What? No! Nothing happened, and that's THAT!" The dirt farmer shouts.
"Nothing to do with our cake? And all those roses that 'mysteriously disappeared'?"
Everyone else in the room gasps.
"B-but I would never do anything like that!" Scott exclaims, feigning shock.
"This says otherwise." The CIT pulls out her PDA and inserts a small memory chip.
The others crowd round and watch the footage of Scott pulling the roses off the cake.
"So you did sneak off and do a bit of messing around with your own team's fate." Noah remarks, raising an eyebrow.
Scott just sits there, completely and utterly dumbfounded. Never had he been caught in the act.
XX – First class
"Now this is a quiet game." Logan says, picking up a community chest card. "Sweet, get out of jail card!"
"Why do you say that?" Matt asks.
"Well if you had spent round two in first class, then you'd probably have a bit of a headache."
"I…won't go further then."
Carefully picking up the dice, Dawn rolls them back onto the board, getting a five and a three. She moves her counter (dog) ahead eight spaces, landing on the 'free parking' square. Suddenly, in a complete out of the blue moment, she shuts her eyes, and opens them wide a few seconds later.
"Something bad is going to happen." She says. "I am not too sure what, or when for that matter, but it is something bad."
B looks ahead in concern, and Matt and Logan exchange confused yet worried glances.
XX – Cargo hold
In the cargo hold, the layout is fairly similar to the original jumbo jet – just twice as many boxes. In one corner of the room, Alejandro, Cody, Kat and Beth are on a small box each, and the board on a much bigger box in the middle.
"Uh…w-why exactly are we playing in here again?" Kat asks, nervously looking around at the loosely stacked boxes.
"Well…no one else has been back here…yet, I think, so I guess it was just to see what it was like." Beth replies as she picks up $200 for passing 'GO'. "Besides, it's not like the boxes are just gonna tip any second now."
The plane suddenly jerks sideways, causing exactly that to happen.
"Uh-oh…" Cody gulps as the boxes start crashing down on them.
"We need to move out of the way!" Alejandro exclaims, suddenly falling off his seat. "Ay!"
The other three quickly get up as the plane jerks again, this time upwards. They fall to the ground, and the Monopoly pieces go flying everywhere.
"What the heck is happening?" The tech geek shouts, looking around in alarm.
Being close to a small window, Kat pulls herself up and looks out, just as a flash of lightning occurs.
"I-I think we're in the middle of a storm!" She exclaims, noticing the dark clouds and the large droplets of water on the exterior of the window. (Just to clarify things, this isn't the 'something bad' that Dawn was talking about).
"ATTENTION EVERYONE! REPORT TO DINING HALL PRONTO!" Chris shouts over the intercom.
XX – Dining hall
"Alright, it seems that we've entered a very stormy area." The host says to the contestants, who are clinging onto the chairs and tables in the dining hall.
"Um, couldn't it be more obvious?" Dakota puts in as the plane jerks downwards, causing everyone to roll onto the floor.
"So, since we were only half way through this round, we're going to go straight into the final round."
The screen on the wall once again blurs over, then clears up, showing a different layout of the game table. Four rows by four columns, however one cell is blank.
"This time, it's an epic Solitaire-ian race against the clock to determine who the best game player out there is and which team wins today's challenge!"
The cast looks up at the screen as packs of playing cards are handed out to the following: Alejandro, Gwen, Matt and Sierra for Team Zulu, Cody, Logan, Noah and Sam for Team Aztec, Courtney, Dawn and Izzy for Team Mali, and Beth, Cameron, Harold and Jake for Team Inca.
"So…uh, are we going somewhere else, or is everyone staying in the same place?" Sam asks, pulling the rubber band off his set of cards.
"Nope, you guys are all staying here for this one." Chris replies. "The rest of you though…eh, feel free to stay or to go and do something else."
The crowded dining hall slowly becomes roomier as several contestants decide to leave, and the remaining fifteen players sit down at a table (one for each team).
"Ok, brainy bunch. You get…two minutes to sort your cards out. Starting…now!"
The room suddenly goes very quiet, save the occasional flash of lightning and rumble of thunder.
Confessional – Beth:
"Ok, that storm came completely out of nowhere. But…I also wasn't expecting to be in the final round! It's so cool!"
X
Gwen:
"I'm actually quite surprised that I got through to the final round. I guess all those game sessions at home did pay off. Although I can't see myself winning the whole challenge. I mean, I'm up against Noah and Izzy. There is absolutely no way I could beat either of them, even if I tried."
X
Matt:
"Well…here's to hopefully winning this round…or at least getting far, and this storm clearing up."
XX
One minute and thirty seconds has passed. By this time, Izzy, Noah and Dawn had finished, and are patiently, or impatiently (in the case of the former two) waiting for the others to finish.
"Twenty seconds left." Chris says as Harold, Alejandro and Cameron simultaneously put down either their last card or pile of remaining cards.
Soon after, Courtney and Jake finish, followed by Matt, Gwen and Sam.
"Ten seconds."
Sierra and Beth finish, the former wiping her forehead and the latter sighing with relief.
"Five…four…"
Cody hurriedly places an eight of hearts on the seventh 'stack', and sinks down in his seat, letting out a quiet 'phew' as he does so.
"…three…two…"
Logan looks around at his cards, trying to check for anything that was missing.
"…one. Time's up! Now, you all know the rules of Solitaire, so for this one, the first person to win the game wins for their team. Oh, and since this challenge didn't have an actual location, there will be no vote off tonight." The host announces to several cheers from the cast. "Ok gamers! On your marks…get set…go!" He starts the stopwatch, which shows up on the screen.
The teens finally start the final round of the challenge. Hands move quickly in all different directions, the quickest being Izzy's and Noah's.
Meanwhile, those who stayed to watch are seeming to get bored, some exiting the room as well.
Confessional – Dakota:
"Ok, I knew that this one was gonna be tense, but I…kinda forgot about how boring it was gonna be!"

"We are now two minutes into our game." Chris commentates as the camera slowly pans around the room. "Some are faring well…whilst others seem to have a bad hand…heheh." Alejandro is shown putting a three of diamonds on top of a four of spades, and Beth is shown struggling to work out where to go next.
"Must find the queen of cloves…must find the queen of cloves…" The latter mutters under her breath.
"However, we seem to have two players who are already over half way there!" The host continues as the screen splits into two, showing Noah on one side, and Izzy on the other. They are both just about at the stage of putting all the cards into their suits. "Which one of these brainiacs will triumph first?"
The dramatic elimination ceremony music plays in the background as the two brainy teens start on sorting the cards, both going at quite a fast pace. Their respective teammates who aren't playing watch on, some biting their nails in the process.
"And...the winner is…" Chris begins as sweat begins to pour down Noah's forehead, and Izzy starts biting her lip nervously. But neither stop their games. They keep going…until the cynic puts his last card down - king of spades – right on 2 minutes 30 seconds. Just a second after, the crazy girl puts down her king of hearts. "…Noah by just a second! Team Aztec wins the challenge!"
All non-playing members of Team Aztec cheer and run over to Noah, who is smugly smiling.
Confessional – Noah:
"Told them I'd be useful for this challenge."
XX
"Team Mali! You lost, but you didn't come last! Second place for you lot!"
Several members of Team Mali sigh in relief, just as Matt and Cameron both finish at bang on 3 minutes, thus not determining the fate for their respective teams.
"So, who are the sore losers? Team Inca, or Team Zulu?"
Courtney then finishes, perfectly timed with a strike of lightning. She is closely followed by Sierra, who is in time with a rather loud rumble of thunder. Several seconds later, Sam puts down his last card, just before Jake does the same.
"Done…phew…" The former sighs, wiping his brow.
Next two to finish are Cody and Matt, who finish at the same time. They are closely followed by Dawn, and later Logan.
"The losing team will be determined by whoever finishes last…oh boy, this one's gonna be a killer!" Chris chuckles as he glances around at the remaining three to finish – Beth, Harold and Gwen. "But it looks like-"
"DONE!" Gwen shouts, putting a king of cloves down.
"Alright! Team Inca, since the last two are both your team members, you lose the challenge. Entirely."
Team Inca groans in disappointment.
"Sorry guys! My cards were badly mixed up!" Beth calls. "I couldn't get anything to work!"
Suddenly, the plane does a major jolt, sending everyone flying. And to make it worse, the lights go out.
"Hey, who turned out the lights?" Cody asks.
"Is a power cut possible on here?" Sasha wonders, her voice panicky
The plane seems to jolt again, and a lot of tumbling is heard.
"OW!"
"OOF!"
"WHAT THE HECK?"
"OUCH!"
"Ok, seriously, what is happening out there?" Zoey asks. "And…where did Chris go?"
"I…think he went out there somewhere." Logan replies, referring to anywhere outside of the dining hall.
The intercom suddenly crackles loudly, bursting into life.
"Attention every single contestant on this plane!" Chris announces. "This storm seems to be following us, so just go to your new hideouts!"
"How do we do that if we can't see a goddamn thing?" Leshawna shouts.
"Oh…just a second. CHEF!"
The lights suddenly flicker back on, showing the dining hall in a complete mess. Overturned tables and chairs lay all over the place, some squashing contestants. And, some contestants are squashing other contestants
"Ouch…" Isabelle groans, trying to pull herself out from under Owen. "Little help here?"
"Huh? Oh! Sorry!" Owen rolls off, also freeing a fairly annoyed Noah.
Confessional – Isabelle:
"I'm probably thinking what everyone else is thinking. What the heck just happened?"
XXXX – Upper middle class
"Phew…" Dakota sighs. "Proper bedding and not just blankets! Now that's much better."
"Oh, oh, I know, right?" Izzy excitedly adds, cartwheeling onto a lower bunk.
"It's still not first class though. But next episode we'll get there…hopefully."
"We just need to win a challenge…somehow." Geoff mutters, scratching his chin.
Courtney just sits on her bed, watching Scott's clip from the previous episode on her PDA again and again. She knew that although no one else from her team had found out about the dirt farmer's doings, they were sure to know soon. She just needed to watch out for his next move…whenever or whatever that would be.
XX – Cockpit
"Well…this episode finished with a bang." Chris says as he sits in the co-pilot seat, with Chef driving the plane. "But boy, did we have a lot of drama! Will Gwen and Heather ever settle their long-standing conflict? Will Scott eventually get caught out by someone from his own team other than Courtney? Can B really talk?"
A large flash of lightning brightens the room for a few seconds, and is closely followed by the loudest roll of thunder yet, frightening both hosts.
"Will this storm ever stop following us? Tune in to find out next time on Total Drama World Tour! Take Two!"
Welp, one boring challenge for them, one heck of an episode for us. And no one got a free pass to loserdom. Life is great.
If anyone was wondering, the song is a little bit torn between two aspects – Heather and Gwen's conflict, and the incident in episode five of TDI. Oh…and at the end, I wanted it to end in complete chaos, just like the original movie.
Next episode is starting off a bit like this one ended, with more storminess and all that – it's not gonna carry on for the whole thing though. No way. BUT…there is a location, so there'll be no challenge on the plane next time. Phew.
Oh, and where do you think the cast is ending up next time?
Here's a little hint: this country has won a MAJOR sporting event twice in the tournament's entire history of existence…no, not FIFA. The most recent win was a few years back – an excruciatingly close final against a European country.
Put the name of the country AND what sporting event it was in your review, and anyone who gets it right earns a shout out in the next chapter! :D
So…nothing else to say here. Stay tuned!
