A/N: I definitely just noticed that each chapter is longer than the last. And I hope that this chapter is good. This is where, I believe, some of the sub-plots I had in mind start. At 25 pages and 4,254 words, I present you the next chapter of Total Drama Redemption!

Total Drama Pahkitew
Episode 2:
"I Love You, Grease Pig!"
The camera starts up, revealing the scene to be Pahkitew Island. Then suddenly, a familiar voice appears.
Chris: (offscreen) Last time on Total Drama Pahkitew Island, eighteen campers returned to our new location, Pahkitew Island! We split them up into two teams, the Pimâpotew Kinosewak and the Waneyihtam Maskwak. (the camera switched back to when the teams were formed) Our first challenge required our campers to get materials and build their own shelters for the season! During this challenge, teamwork was persistent (the camera switched to when the Pimâpotew Kinosewak were talking and discussing their plan), romance took roots (the camera switched to Dawn looking worried for Ezekiel), and their was a lot of pain! (the camera finally switched to when Sam got shot in the crotch).
Chris: But, in the end, the Pimâpotew Kinosewak won the challenge, thanks to a certain homeschool. (the camera switched to Ezekiel being held up by his teammates) At our elimination ceremony, our lover boy, Trent, was sent out of our new way of elimination; the Cannon of Shame! So, what will our next challenge be? Will Ezekiel secure another win for his team? Will Jo get any meaner? Find out the answer to these questions and more on this episode of Total! Drama! Redemption!
(cue theme song and...we're done!)
Pimâpotew Kinosewak
The camera then revealed the Salmons' treehouse, which won them their first challenge from the day before. Everyone was sleeping inside their shelter comfortably. However, there was one person awake. Ezekiel had woken up not too long ago. He walked out onto the deck of the treehouse, watching the sunrise in peace. He felt relieved at the moment, due to winning his team the challenge with his treehouse idea. He never felt so happy when he saw that he helped his team win the challenge.
?: How're you holding up, friend?
Ezekiel turned around to see Dawn, standing at the doorway, smiling at Ezekiel.
Ezekiel: (smiling) Hi, Dawn. I'm doing good, eh. How're you doing?
Dawn: (smiling) I'm also doing good, too. I'm just tired from yesterday's challenge.
Ezekiel: I know, right? I'm still so excited from yesterday's challenge that I'm actually not tired, still, and the fact that I wake up around this time back on the farm, eh.
Dawn: So, how is it working on the farm?
Ezekiel: Well, it's sometimes interesting and it's sometimes hard work. Having to sow the fields, milk the cow, feeding the animals...it's sometimes difficult. But I also like it too, eh.
Dawn: Sounds nice. What is it like to be around animals every day?
Ezekiel: It's pretty nice, eh. I get to pet them and I like to occasionally go riding with one of the horses we have...do you like animals?
Dawn: (smiling) Yes, I do. As a matter of fact, I really like nature and I truly appreciate the aspects of nature.
Ezekiel: So I guess that's something we both like then?
Dawn and Ezekiel continued to look at each other and smiled. Then suddenly, Eva stepped out of the tree house.
Ezekiel: Morning, eh.
Eva: Hey.
Dawn: (curiously) Where're you going?
Eva: For an early morning jog.
Dawn: I guess we'll see you later.
Eva: Yeah.
Eva then walked over to the ladder to climb down and jog. Then Ezekiel and Dawn looked at each other.
Ezekiel: Soooooo...do you wanna look for some food with me, so that way, our team gets a good breakfast?
Dawn: Sure!
Ezekiel and Dawn then headed over to the ladder and started to climb down, while both of them were blushing.
Confessional
Ezekiel: (blushing) Like I said before, I think Dawn's a really nice girl and that I appreciate having her on our team rather than Jo! Now she seems really scary…
Dawn: (smiling) Ezekiel really has turned into a sweetheart, so far. I find it fascinating that he and I both like animals and nature. I sense that Ezekiel feels positive about me.
Eva: (deadpanned) ...Those two were made for each other.
End
Waneyihtam Maskwak
Everyone in the Bears' tent was asleep, as well. However, one person that was awake was going to ruin that...
Jo: (loudly) Wakey-wakey, maggots!
Jo's yelling was enough to wake up everyone in the tent, who were giving Jo a range of annoyed to angry glares.
Dakota: (annoyed) Was it really necessary of you to yell at us like that? We're right here, you know?!
Jo: Yes and I don't care. Today, I don't want you guys to screw up this challenge like you did yesterday!
Noah: (pointedly) Like that wasn't obvious enough from your yelling, last night…
Jo: Zip it! Listen, I need two of you wimps to go find food for the rest of us!
Jo then looked at everyone and decided who would go get some food.
Jo: You! (pointing to Sam and Noah) Egghead and Gamer Boy, go get us some food!
Noah: (annoyed) What's stopping us from not listening to you?
Jo: If we lose this challenge due to everyone being hungry, you two can guarantee yourselves a trip off this island and lose your chance for a million big ones.
Noah: And why do you care if we get eliminated?
Jo: Because two less teammates means a harder time winning these challenges.
Noah: (unwillingly) Ugh, fine! We'll go get some food.
Soon afterwards, Sam and Noah left their tent to find some berries and whatnot. As soon as they were a safe distance from their tent, Noah turned to Sam.
Noah: (whisper) Hey, Sam!
Sam turned to Noah with a confused look on his face.
Sam: What is it?
Noah: I need to talk to you about something that Bossypants shouldn't hear.
Sam: ...Well? What do you want to talk about?
Noah: (hesitantly) An alliance to boot off Jo. It's already been the first challenge and I'm already sick of Jo's complaining and take-charge attitude. I can tell you that everyone else feels sick of her, too.
Sam: That, I can agree with. But, please tell me that this isn't going to be another alliance where we vote off innocent people?
Noah: It won't be. As soon as Jo is gone, I'll disband this alliance and everyone else can do whatever they want on this game. [1]
Sam: And why are you talking to me about this?
Noah: Because that's where you come in. I wanted to ask you if you want to be the first one in my alliance. I plan on asking others in the future to join us, but I don't want Jo to catch on. She'll try to boot us off the second that she finds out!
Sam: Well, can my girlfriend, Dakota, join the alliance if it's alright with her?
Noah: Sure, I guess. Just don't ask too many people. At least, not yet. We don't want to draw too much attention from Jo, ok?
Sam: Sure!
Noah: Well ok. Let's go find some food for our team…
So, the two boys continued their search to find some food.
Confessional
Noah: (confessedly) I'll be honest. I learned in between seasons that I should be nicer to my teammates, since it can affect how far you make it into the game. I also learned in between seasons to despise people like Jo and Alejandro. (as he says Alejandro's name, he shivers in disgust) That guy is as eel-like as eel-like gets…
Sam: So cool! I'm in the first alliance of this season! I can't wait to get Jo eliminated...oh wait. I shouldn't say this if Jo is nearby. (he looks at the confessional and then begs) Please don't show this to Jo! Please!
End
Several hours later, after both teams had themselves some food, a nearby P.A. came to life and Chris spoke through it.
Chris: Ok, teams! It's time for your second challenge! Meet me at the challenge area in ten minutes! Pronto!
As soon as the despised host said this, both teams started to walk towards to where they were told to walk to.
Within ten minutes, both teams made it to the challenge area. The two teams could clearly see that today's challenge was an obstacle course. The first part appeared to be two balance beams(or slides) covered in grease over a pit of grease. The second part was two ziplines that led to the third part of the obstacle, which was a double set of jangled and mangled[2] greased up pipes. At the end of the pipes, the fourth part was a tire hop that was also covered in grease. The fifth part was a massive grease puddle/pit that looked difficult to cross. And the final part was a wall climb, which led to the finish line. The contestants either looked unnerved or scared, except Eva and Jo. Chris was standing in front of the obstacle.
Chris: Hello, campers! Welcome to today's challenge, which is, obviously, a greased up obstacle course. Since you all saw the obstacle course, I'm sure you don't need an explanation for it.
Jo: (rolls her eyes) Duh, you think so?
Chris: Well, just to clarify things, each member of your team with chose to do a certain part of the obstacle to complete. When you complete your part of the challenge, you'll pass your "baton" onto your next teammate, which will be these two greased up pigs.
Chris then revealed at the start of the obstacle, two greased up pigs that didn't look pleased.
Chris: Anyways, since their is a number disadvantage and there is too many contestants to fit into this obstacle, three people will sit out for the Floating Salmon and two people will sit out for the Confused Bears. Since I'm in a good mood today, you guys can pick who gets to sit out!
Brick: (salutes Chris) Thank you, sir!
Chris: At ease, soldier. I'll give both teams five minutes to discuss who gets to sit out and who does which part of the obstacle course. After five minutes, your teammates, that are playing, will go to their selected part of the obstacle and wait for the challenge to start. Ok, teams! Start planning now!
Every contestant went to their respective team to discuss their plan.
Pimâpotew Kinosewak
Harold: I volunteer to sit out this challenge! I'm worried that I might suffer heart palpitations during the challenge, and I don't want to slow you guys down with it. [3]
Dawn: We understand what could happen to you while you're out there. You can sit out this one.
B then tapped Dawn's shoulder. Dawn turned to B and then B whispered into Dawn's ear.
Dawn: B says that he wants to sit out this challenge too, due to his troubles with running.
Eva: If that wasn't obvious enough.
The others frown at Eva, while B just shrugs it off.
Mike: (sadly) Is it ok if I can sit this one out, too? I'm not great at lifting heavy objects.
One of the grease pigs, nearby, heard Mike's comment and grunted in offense.
Dawn: (sincerely) You can sit also, Mike.
Mike: Thank you, Dawn!
Dawn: So, does anyone want to do the slide?
Bridgette: I can do the slide, since I have good balance with my surfing skills.
Harold: Yeah! She has totally wicked surfing skills, yo! I was at one of Bridgette and Geoff's parties once, and it was at a beach. Nuf' said.
Bridgette: Thanks, Harold!
Harold: No problem, Bridgette.
Confessional
Harold: If you guys were curious, ever since TDWT, me and Bridgette became closer friends, due to our shared experiences dealing with a certain Al…
Bridgette: Harold's a really nice friend, but to clarify things, we aren't dating. Me and Harold are mostly friends because I'm still with Geoff and I don't want a repeat of what happened on TDWT.
End
Dawn: Fine by me, Bridgette. I'll do the zipline, since I have a good grip. Who'll do the pipes?
Ezekiel: I will, eh. I have good agility and I can try my best to get through those pipes! The Zeke will show those pipes whose boss, eh!
Dawn: (smiling) Okay, Ezekiel. Who wants to-
Izzy: I'll do the tires, since I'm a pro at jumping! I'll go through that obstacle faster than you can say "zoo-we-mama!" [3]
Dawn: That's great! Eva, I assume you want to do the pit?
Eva: (blank) Yes.
Dawn: And Zoey, are you okay with the wall climb, since you're able to climb?
Zoey: I don't mind! I can do so, thanks to Commando Zoey!
Dawn: So I guess that's our game plan! I wish you good luck, everybody!
Everyone else smiled at Dawn as they waited for the other team to be done discussing their plan.
Waneyihtam Maskwak
Jo: Since I'm team leader, I'll choose who sits out this challenge and who does what part of the obstacle.
Tyler: Do you have to be so bossy all the gosh-darn time?!
Jo: (angrily) Yes!
Tyler grumbled to himself as Jo selected two people to sit out.
Jo: Ok then! Gamer Boy and Lindsiot, you two sit out this time since your performances yesterday were awful!
Tyler: (offended on Lindsay's behalf) Hey! That's my girlfriend you're talking about!
Jo: I don't care about your needs.
Tyler, once again, looked angrily at Jo for her meanness.
Jo: Know-it-all, you're on the slide! Dakotazoid, you're on the zipline! Failer, pipes! Brickhead, tire jump! I'll do the grease pit, and Blabbermouth can climb the wall!
Staci: Well my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great cousin invented walls. Before that, people would have to sleep out in the bare elements.
Everyone groaned at Staci's obvious lie.
Noah: I'm not even going to tell you how wrong you are, simply because it's so wrong.
Jo: Anyone else have any questions or complaints?
Everyone raised their hands, but Jo ignored them.
Jo: Nothing? Good! Remember your part of the course and don't screw up this time!
Noah: (sarcastically) Ok, mother!
Confessional
Noah: I can't wait for the day that Jo gets what she deserves! But I'll have to deal with Jo for only a little while longer, I hope.
End
After the five minutes ran up, Chris picked up his loudspeaker and told the contestants to wrap up their planning.
Chris: Time's up, guys! Who will be going to sit out this time?
Dawn went up first to tell Chris.
Dawn: We decided that Harold, B, and Mike will sit out this challenge.
Chris: Ok then.
After Dawn spoke, Jo walked up to Chris.
Jo: After a unanimous vote (Noah shouted offscreen, "With yourself!"), we decided to sit out Lindsay and Sam for the challenge.
Chris: Ok! The five of you get to sit along the sidelines with me to watch the challenge. The rest of you, get to your positions and prepare for the start of the challenge!
Everyone went to walk to their respective positions. Soon after everyone resettled, with Bridgette and Noah and their pigs at the start, Chris pulled out a starting pistol.
Chris: On your marks, get set, go!
When Chris fired his pistol, Bridgette immediately started to push her greased pig across the slide with little trouble. Meanwhile, Noah attempted to push the pig, but the pig started to run in the wrong direction, dragging Noah with it.
Soon later, Bridgette made it across the slide and handed the pig's leash to Dawn.
Bridgette: Here you go!
Dawn: Thank you!
Dawn then looked down at the pig, who looked back up to her.
Dawn: (kindly) Don't you worry, fellow being. I only ask if you can cooperate with us, so we can win the challenge and return you back to where you belong. Is that alright?
The pig nodded happily at the kind nature girl and jumped into her arms. However, as soon as she reached the zipline, Noah's grease pig managed to drag Noah across the slide and reach the other side, stopping in front of Dakota.
Noah: (tired) Here...you...go!
Dakota: (disgusted) Ewwwww! It's covered in grease!
Noah: What did you think?! Please just take it, already!
Dakota: (sigh) Okay!
Dakota then took the grease pig's leash and walked over to the zipline, where Dawn already was at. Thankfully, Dakota could carry the pig, due to some of her reserved strength from her mutant DNA. At the same time, both Dawn and Dakota took the zipline and went down at the same rate. However, due to being slightly heavier than Dawn, Dakota and the pig's combined weight increased their velocity faster and they made it to the other side first. Dakota then ran over to Tyler with the pig.
Dakota: (worried) Here! Please take it before I barf from the smell!
The pig also didn't like Dakota's comment, as it gave an annoyed look at her.
Tyler: I will! I'll ace this part for my Linds!
Dakota: Okay then...good luck with that!
Tyler: Thanks!
Tyler then started to run into the greasy pipes, where a bunch of "ow's" could be heard. Shortly afterwards, Dawn and her pig also made and then walked over to hand the pig to Ezekiel.
Dawn: Here you go. He should be more behaved since I talked to him. I wish you good luck, friend!
Ezekiel: (happily) Thanks, eh!
Dawn: (kindly) You're welcome! I believe in you.
Ezekiel: (excitedly) Time to do this for the team!
After Ezekiel finished talking to Dawn, he charged into the pipe, where, luckily, he and the pig didn't get hurt and they started to climb the messed up grease pipe.
Same can't be said of Tyler, who managed to get out of the pipe first, with the pig, but looked bruised and battered. Brick ran over and looked worried for Tyler.
Brick: (worried) Are you okay, Private?!
Tyler: (weakly) I'll be fine. Just take the leash for me…
Brick: Can do, Tyler!
Tyler handed the leashed pig to Brick, who started to run across the greased tires with ease. Not long afterwards, Ezekiel also crawled out of the pipe, though he looked better than Tyler had. He ran over and handed the leash to Izzy, who looked pumped.
Ezekiel: Here's the leash, eh!
Izzy: Thank you very much!
Ezekiel: No problem! Please just don't let anything happen to the pig, eh.
Izzy: Don't worry, I won't... though I can't promise that!
Izzy then started to laugh like a maniac as she started to jump across the tires. Ezekiel shook his head with worry.
Confessional
Ezekiel: Sometimes I worry for her, eh. She seems pretty wacky…
End
Despite Brick being skilled at jumping tires, due to his military training, Izzy was leaping very far. So both teens reached the pit at the same time, as they handed their pigs to Eva and Jo. Then both fitness teens ran across the grease pit at the same time and rate, whereas they also both reached the end of the pit at the same time. However, Jo reached Staci first and handed her the pig.
Jo: Here's the pig! Take it!
Staci: Did you know that my great-great-great-great-great-great grandmother invented bacon? Back then, nobody had shirts with bacon memes on them. [4]
Jo: (angrily) Ugh, I don't care! Just go!
By this time, Eva reached Zoey, who took the pig and started climbing. Jo took notice of Zoey and glared at Staci.
Jo: What are you waiting for?! Go!
Staci: Before I go, I wanted to say that my great-great-great aunt invented suspense. Back then, horror movies would suck.
Zoey, at this point, made it over the wall and started running to the finish line, where she made it before Staci could start.
Chris: And the Pimâpotew Kinosewak win the second challenge in a row!
The Floating Salmon all cheered and high-fived each other. However, the Confused Bears looked upset at losing the second time in a row. Most the team looked angrily at Staci for costing their team the win, especially Jo.
Jo: (outraged) Staci, how could you cost our team this challenge when victory was within our grasp?!
Staci: Well I thought that you guys could use my wisdom for the challenge.
Noah: What we need you to do was to climb that wall and try to win! We didn't need your "wisdom" for the freaking challenge!
Chris: The winning team today gets a bucket of Jimmy's Beaks and Feet; chicken appendages from our local farm.
Dawn, once again, looked horrified at the food they would be getting. However, Ezekiel stood by her side and patted her shoulder to make her feel better. She smiled at him.
Dawn: Thank you, Zeke.
Ezekiel: You're welcome! If it makes you feel better, I can later find some berries for you instead of you needing to eat some of that food, eh.
Dawn: (smiling) That would be wonderful and appreciated!
Ezekiel: Anything for my best friend!
Dawn smiled at Ezekiel for his kindness, which Ezekiel returned.
Confessional
Dawn: Best friend? (she smiles at the camera) Now I'm truly glad be on the same team as Ezekiel. I hope he continues to have good luck in the future.
Ezekiel: I'll be honest with you guys. Over the past couple days, I've been enjoying spending time with Dawn. She's a beautiful and kind girl who helped me get used to being back on Total Drama. So I'll admit something...I have a little crush on Dawn. Plain and simple as that. (after saying this, Ezekiel blushes madly on his light-greenish cheeks)
End
Chris: Waneyihtam Maskwak, I'll see you guys at the elimination ceremony in an hour! See ya later!
Chris then walked away to the elimination area as the losing team discussed who to vote off.
An hour later, the Confused Bears were at the elimination area, all sitting down and staring at the host in anticipation. Chris was relishing in the drama that was stirring in front of him, although while holding a plate of marshmallows in his hand.
Chris: Campers, you're back here again tonight after you failed to complete the obstacle course. I have 7 marshmallows on this plate, which means that one of you will not be staying here for another chance at the million. If I call your name, come up to get your marshmallow.
Chris then looked at every contestant to see the look on their faces.
Chris: Noah! Lindsay! Jo! Brick! Dakota! Sam!
The named contestants all went up to collect their marshmallows, leaving two contestants in their seats, Tyler and Staci.
Chris: Tyler and Staci, you two are the last two contestants to not receive a marshmallow. Tyler, you managed to get yourself hurt in the pipe, repeatedly, for reasons unknown…
Tyler: (defensive) I'm just a little clumsy, okay?!
Chris: And Staci, due to your constant chattering, you cost your team the challenge and got almost everyone angry at you. And the last marshmallow goes to…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
... Tyler!
Tyler suddenly felt relieved at having his name called and went up to get his marshmallow. Staci, however, looked depressed, but looked like she accepted her fate.
Staci: (sigh) Well, I had a feeling I would be eliminated early again, but at least I wasn't eliminated first, again.
Sam: Well good for you, I guess.
Staci: (slightly smiles) Thanks.
Chris: The Cannon of Shame is thataway!
The camera then later panned to the Cannon of Shame, where Staci was in the cannon, waiting to be fired out.
Chris: Staci, got anything else to say?
Staci: Well, my great-great-great-
Staci couldn't finish her sentence as Chris pressed the button to fire the cannon, which shot Staci into the distance. Chris turned to the other campers to dismiss them.
Chris: Campers, you are dismissed. Return to your shelter for the night and get some rest for your challenge tomorrow.
As the campers dispersed from the area, Chris turned to the camera to do the outro.
Chris: So, with that anti-climatic elimination, which team will win next time?! Will the Confused Bears make a comeback? Or will the Confused Bears become the new Team Victory? Find out the answers to these questions and more on the next episode of Total! Drama! Redemption!
The camera goes black and the credits roll.
Pimâpotew Kinosewak: Izzy, Harold, Bridgette, Eva, Ezekiel, Dawn, B, Zoey, Mike
Waneyihtam Maskwak: Noah, Lindsay, Tyler, Sam, Dakota, Brick, Jo
Eliminated: Trent, Staci
[1]: Noah being nice? Is this a dream come true?!
[2]: Dr. Seuss would be proud of my rhyming skills.
[3]: Diary Of A Wimpy Kid references!
[4]: I had a feeling that, at least, one person thought that Staci should say this at some point...
A/N: Hey guys! I hope that you guys aren't too mad about Staci being eliminated early. I haven't had much planned for her originally in the story. She suited the role of a comical and filler character, so I used her for a little while, anyways. But on the bright side, Staci didn't get eliminated first this time, right? Anyways, I hope you guys like the new chapter and I'll see you guys later!
