Heeey guys!
So…this chapter is (FINALLY) done! I have to admit, it did take quite a while. But with changing a few scenes, it was all good.
Ok, this one's gonna have some interesting happenings. Surprise judges, a new passenger, and an even more surprising quitter (yeah, someone quits…whoops, TMI!)
Oh, and one more thing. See if you can spot certain parts of sentences in italics? You'll find them once it gets to the…part where they jump off? I dunno. Anyway, there's one for each team. See if you can figure out what they mean.
*looks around* Nope, no ownership of TD here. Just this computer, Sasha and Jake, the surprise judges (they're my own OCs)…and that's it really.
Shoutout to Thtazninja (owner of Celeste) for guessing the country and tournament right!
Enjoy!
"Last time on Total Drama World Tour, Take Two! With no location decided on, our campers spent the episode on the plane, playing board and card games. Some were pretty boring, whilst some were too dramatic for even a simple round of Scrabble…that's a good thing though. Uh, hello? It's Total Drama. Not Total-ly lame! Anyhoo, after many rounds of games, it all came down to fifteen brainy gamers against the clock in an epic solitaire match! In the end, it was Noah, the smart aleck, who ended up with the fastest time, which meant that Team Aztec moved up to first class! But, we were then met with some bad weather, in the forms of rain, thunder and lightning. Yeah, we ran into a storm, which seemed to postpone the elimination ceremony. And it's still here!"
Chris and Chef are shown in the plane's cockpit as the stormy weather continues to rattle their ears.
"Where are we headed off to this time?" Chris shouts over a roll of thunder. "And what is up with this weather? Find out right, here, right now, on Total Drama World Tour, Take Two!"
XXXX
It's late at night as everyone tries to sleep, some struggling due to the storm.
XX – Economy class
The members of Team Inca are scattered all over the floor, blankets piled on top of them.
In the corner, Sasha tosses and turns, unable to get to sleep at all.
Confessional – Sasha:
"Not only is the floor hard to sleep on, but the rain is keeping me awake! And it somehow sounds a lot louder in economy class than anywhere else on the plane! I…guess that's probably because it's pretty much empty except for us."
XX
Slowly sitting up, the bubbly twin looks out the window, shielding her eyes as lightning lights up the clouded sky, followed by an even more frightening roll of thunder.
"Oh…" She gulps, bringing the blankets around her shoulders.
"Having trouble sleeping?" A voice asks from across the room.
Sasha turns around to see DJ pulling himself up to a sitting position.
"Yeah…I guess." She replies, flopping back down.
"Don't worry 'bout it. I am too. Hard to sleep with that storm outside."
XX – First class
Half the members of Team Aztec are, despite their sleeping conditions, still awake.
"Anyone there who can't sleep?" Trent asks from his room.
"Yes." Several reply, some more strained than others.
"I'm not even in bed." Celeste adds, her voice seeming to come from the dining room.
Zoey exits her room and goes into the dining room, eventually spotting her teammate at the lookout window, and Cody sitting on a chair from a table. Both are still in their pyjamas.
"Hm…anyone feel like cake?" She asks, walking towards the yellow cake from Vegas sitting on the kitchen countertop.
"That sounds like a good idea. I'm actually kinda hungry myself." The tech geek replies, getting up as Lindsay, Trent and Logan join them. "Man, I don't know if this storm is ever going to stop."
"I agree." Logan adds as Zoey walks past in the background with a slice of cake. "Although being in first class is nice, the weather just kinda ruins it all."
"Oh, I hope the weather does get better soon!" Lindsay says worriedly, nibbling on her cake.
Soon, everyone finishes off their cake, and, one by one, suddenly fall asleep.
Next day…
Heather groans and rolls over in her bed, suddenly rolling off.
"Ouch!" She exclaims, sitting up and rubbing her head.
The queen B gets up and shuffles over to the door. When she opens it, a ray of light streams in, just as Lightning and Sam do the same with their bedroom doors.
"Oh my god!" She exclaims as a 'Hallelujah' chorus starts playing the background.
"Sha-WOW!" Lightning shouts, staring towards the dining room in disbelief.
"Sunlight?" Sam asks, scratching his chin. "Is that you?"
The contestants in the dining room slowly wake up, and all gasp.
"Wow!"
"Oh my gosh!"
"It's so beautiful!"
"Amazing!"
Sure enough, the sun is shining brightly, casting brilliant rays all around the room, and there is not a single cloud to be seen for miles.
Confessional – Cody:
"Now this is more like it!" He fist pumps.
XXXX – Middle class
The members of Teams Mali and Zulu slowly pour out of the two middle classes, and find themselves staring out the window of the dining hall.
"Am I just dreaming or has the storm finally subsided?" Alejandro asks no one in particular.
"Nope, you are definitely not dreaming." Duncan replies, looking ahead in wonder.
"Attention everyone!" Chris yells over the intercom, sounding extremely happy. "Since the weather has cleared up, we'll start today's challenge right away! Meet at the elimination area in five minutes! Oh, and Team Inca…bring your bathing suits."
XX – Elimination area
The teens are assembled in the elimination area, the members of Team Inca holding a small bag each (with their bathing suits inside).
"Alright, what's on this time?" Matt asks. "More board games?"
"Nope!" The host replies with a grin. "We now have a location!"
Everyone sighs with relief.
"Aaand…we're already here! Team Aztec, time to go a-falling! Heheh."
"Um…what do you mean?" Lindsay asks, a parachute then hitting her in the face.
"And why just us instead of the rest as well?" Celeste adds.
"You parachute down, and await the instructions! Oh, and same country, yet different location for each team. AND there's enough parachutes for the lot of you this time. Hey, fun fact: there's no couples on this team. Why did love do that to you?"
The rest of the team, also holding parachutes, shrug and file off, some screaming as they fall.
"Alright, that's them taken care of. Team Zulu, jump off in a few minutes."
Confessional – Alejandro:
"I don't really like where this may be going. Parachuting off the plane always seems to result in something happening…well, not every single time, I guess."
XX
A few minutes later, Chris looks out the door to see the surroundings.
"Team Zulu, off you go!" He says cheerfully, chucking them all a parachute each. "Don't forget your gumboots!"
"Gumboots?" Duncan exclaims.
"Well, I'm not sitting here and looking stupid!" Isabelle says, jumping off.
"She has a point." Sierra remarks, following her lead, as do the rest of Team Zulu.
XX – Team Aztec
Bridgette slowly floats down, landing precariously on top of a very tall tower.
"Whoa…where is this?" She asks, looking around.
Cody, Sam and Celeste land next to her, and gasp.
"Wowee." The tech geek breathes. "What a view!"
Before them is a sea of tall buildings, not as tall as the one they were on, of course. Further away, a long, structured bridge stretches over what seems to be a harbour.
"Ok, so…long bridge, really tall tower…" Logan mutters as he lands on the tower. "Where the heck are we?"
"Sydney?" Zoey suggests, plopping down next to him. "In Australia? I know that has a long bridge…but I don't know about the tower."
"No…I have a feeling that it's close by though…"
The teens think for a minute, wondering where they were.
Heather, looking annoyed as usual, lands further up, near what seems to be a radio signal structure (part of the tower). She grabs onto it so she wouldn't lose her balance.
"Huh? Oh!" She exclaims, looking around. "I know this place. I came here on holiday when I was little."
"Where are we?" Everyone else asks.
XX – Plane
"Who's next?" Tyler asks.
"Ha, funny that. You are!" Chris chuckles, pushing the wannabe jock off the plane. Team Inca hurriedly follow him, not wanting to be pushed off. "You'll feel like you're basking in the April sun in Cuba!" He yells after them.
Confessional – Tyler:
"Aw man, not cool Chris." He frowns at the camera.
XXXX – Team Zulu
"OOF!"
"Ouch!"
"OW!"
Sierra, Alejandro and Isabelle land on top of each other, their own complaints sounding out in that order.
"Where are we?" The uber-fan asks, scanning her surroundings.
They are in a forested area, the sound of water nearby. Bugs and birds chirrup in the background, making quite a racket.
"Well, that was some drop." A voice remarks.
The three look up to see Brick, his parachute hooked onto a sturdy branch. He looks around, shrugs, and unhooks his arms, taking a footed landing. "Where might this be then?" He asks.
"I dunno, but if we have to wait for instructions, then I guess we'll find out." Isabelle replies, whipping her parachute off.
"Wait, I think I know!" Sierra hurriedly says, but a rustling sound from above cuts her off. "Huh?"
As it gets closer and becomes more abrupt, Gwen appears, her parachute hooking over a higher branch. Soon after, Matt lands on the branch, making it sway dangerously.
"Uh-oh…" He gulps, looking up. "This is not good."
"Huh?" Gwen looks up as well, and her eyes widen. "Oh no. Ohhhh no!"
Owen and Staci are both hurtling towards them.
The latter fortunately lands on the ground with a loud thud. However, the former lands on the branch, and it bends towards the ground, just about ready to snap.
"Ow…heheh, sorry about that!" The eating machine says, chuckling nervously. "Oh man…" He rolls off, causing the branch to spring back up. It sends Gwen and Matt flying into the air.
"That's going to end badly." Alejandro winces
Confessional – Alejandro:
"Like I said earlier. Something always happens."
XXXX – Air
Duncan, Anne Maria and Leshawna are just about at the trees, but the delinquent and the jersey reject are suddenly sent flying backwards by Gwen and Matt respectively.
"What the HECK?" The sister with 'tude exclaims, looking back in alarm.
Further up, the four teens stop in the middle of the air.
"Well, ouch." Anne Maria remarks before they go back down.
XX – Team Inca
Beth lands face-first in the sand, followed by Sasha and DJ.
"Ooh, the beach!" She exclaims happily. "That's nicer than the plane."
It's a large beach, the sand stretching along for miles. Opposite the sea is a clumped row of pine trees, gently swaying in the warm breeze.
"Oh, I know right!" Sasha replies. "That's probably why we had to bring these." She holds up her bag. "Where are we though?"
DJ sits up and looks around.
"Hmm…not Jamaica, it's not hot enough." He mutters. "Too warm for Canada…man, I dunno."
Tyler lands beside him, thankful for the soft landing.
"Well, we're somewhere." He remarks. "That's for sure."
"Is there anyone that does know?" Sasha asks.
"Nope. Not so far…I think."
"I know!" A voice shouts from above.
Looking up, the teens sigh with relief as they see Cameron – possibly their only hope on knowing their location.
"So, like, where are we?" Sadie asks from further up.
XX – Plane
"Well, looks like you guys are finally up." Chris says to Team Mali, who groan in response. "This location is gonna be a slice of heaven for some of you!"
"About time." Eva mutters, leaping off.
Geoff goes next, hollering all the way down.
"WOOOOOHOOHOOHOOO!" He cheers.
"Pfft, show-off." Scott scoffs as he jumps off.
Outside, Eva looks down and notices a snow-covered mountain before her.
"Huh, where's this then?" She wonders, dodging a bird.
Looking towards the bottom of the mountain, the female bully spots a chairlift, and a couple of figures moving very fast across a fairly steep strip.
"Sweet!" Geoff cheers. "We're at a ski field!"
"Oh, oh, Izzy loves skiing!" Izzy says excitedly.
"Eh, not that bad." Scott mutters.
The four land on a flat strip of snow, their parachutes deflating.
"Alright, don't laugh, but I have no idea what the location is!" Courtney calls from above. "And I took geography!"
"That's actually quite surprising." Dawn remarks, coming down beside her.
"I-I think I know." Kat adds, studying her surroundings. "But…I'm not too sure."
"Ooh, Izzy knows!" Izzy shouts. "We're in…"
XX – Team Aztec
"…New Zealand." Heather finishes.
"Ohhhhhhhh." The rest of her teammates say.
"Then this must be the Sky Tower!" Zoey cheers.
"Where's that again?" Cody asks.
"Auckland."
"Oh, that's right."
"Oh man, I've always wanted to come here." Trent remarks, looking ahead.
"Um, aren't we meant to be down there?" Lindsay asks, pointing towards the streets. "I mean, we can't do a challenge up here."
"Lightning's going first!" Lightning cheers, leaping off. "SHA-WOOOOOO!"
"Weirdo." Heather mutters in annoyance. "But Lindsay is right. What are we doing up here?"
"Well, we can just do what Lightning did." Logan replies, jerking his thumb towards the still-descending athlete. "By that, I don't mean shouting something random and jumping off, but…treating it like jumping of the plane, I guess."
The teens look at one another, waiting for one of them to go.
"Eh, not as bad as a 15,000 foot drop." Celeste remarks. "I'd rather this than that." She effortlessly flips off, her parachute billowing out for the second time.
XX – Team Inca
"Omigosh!" Katie squeals, jumping up and down. "I haven't been here in ages!"
"You've been here before?" Jake asks.
"Oh yeah. It's, like, where most of my ancestors come from! And my grandma lives here!"
"I wonder if Sierra knew that." Beth giggles.
"So what beach is this then?" Sasha asks.
"Hmm…I'm not too sure. But it, like, does look familiar." The skinnier BFF replies.
"It's, like, so amazing though!" Sadie says excitedly, looking around. "And it's so big!"
"Well…what's our challenge then?" Tyler wonders, scratching his head. "Chris hasn't come past yet to tell us what to do."
XX – Team Zulu
A helicopter appears above the forest, carrying two large boxes. They are dropped down, Chris then poking his head out of the helicopter.
"INCOMING!" He yells through the megaphone, laughing afterwards.
Down below, Anne Maria looks up in confusion, before one of the boxes knocks her over, and she tumbles down the slope behind her.
"OW! OUCH! OOF! OW! WHAT THE-OWWWW!" She yells, her voice slowly becoming distant as she falls.
The second box lands directly in front of Sierra, who only just manages to jump out of the way. Unfortunately, she earns an unsteady landing, and falls down after the Jersey reject. She nearly doesn't stop, until she feels a very sturdy tree trunk stop her. A few feet away, Anne Maria is looking out from a small cliff in wonder.
"Hey guys! Come check dis out!" She calls to the others as the uber-fan joins her.
The rest of Team Zulu carefully edge down the slope, some unintentionally resorting to rolling.
Matt is the first to reach the bottom, and hurriedly joins the two girls at the cliff.
"Whoa!" He exclaims.
Before them is a wide, flowing river, a line of bush on the other side. The sunlight casts a glimmering sheen on the water.
"Wow…" Isabelle breathes, eagerly taking in the sights.
Suddenly, the helicopter passes over and stops above the contestants, disrupting the quiet moment.
"Ok, what do you want us to do this time, Chris?" Gwen just about yells as the host winds down the window.
"Hope you're enjoying your morning!" He shouts. "Your challenge is to use as many of the props in those boxes as possible to create a music video!"
"Music video?" Alejandro exclaims.
"But what about cameras?" Brick asks.
"And music?" Isabelle adds.
"Oh, that'll be in one of the boxes! Now get started and have some fun!" Chris winds the helicopter window up and drives off.
Confessional – Duncan:
"Chris? Asking us to have fun? That's weird."
XXXX – Team Mali
Izzy pops up from inside a box with various snow gear items.
"Hey guys! Look what I found!" She cheers, holding up a ski helmet and a pair of gloves.
"Got a video camera!" Geoff calls from the bottom of another box.
"Wait…is there a CD in there or something?" David asks, peering into the box. "Chris said something about music."
"Hold up…yep, got one! Sweet!"
The party guy leaps out with a handful of objects, complete with a woolly scarf around his neck.
"Ooh, ooh, Izzy's loving this!" Izzy yells, vaulting out of her box all dressed up in bright green snow gear, including white ski boots, grey gloves and a black beanie. "So fun! Am I right?" She turns to Kat.
"Uh…yeah!" The shy girl giggles. "T-this is fun!"
"Ok…so what do we want to do first?" Courtney asks the rest of her team.
XX – Team Aztec
"Wait, don't run up yet!" Zoey calls from behind the video camera. "The camera's not turned on!"
"Oh…sorry." Bridgette replies, standing on the other side of a pedestrian crossing. "Wait, if I'm supposed to be…well, 'running away', then should you maybe film from behind?"
"Hm…that's a good point."
Meanwhile, Logan and Cody are sorting through an assortment of things. For a strange reason, some of them are road works equipment.
"Man, why is this stuff even in here?" The latter wonders, holding up an orange and white striped cone.
"No idea." The former replies, shaking his head. "Come to think of it, I don't even know what to do at all. I haven't even heard the song yet! All we know is the words. And they're just on a sheet of paper. And…why do we have the CD if we can't listen to it?"
Confessional – Logan:
"This is pretty pointless. How can you know the lyrics to a song, but not know the song itself? Speaking of which, do we get to hear the song sometime during the challenge? I have heard it once before…but listening to it again wouldn't hurt."
XXXX – Team Inca
By this time, everyone is in their bathing suits and all helping out with making the video.
Tyler finishes tying a beach volleyball net to a pole embedded in the sand.
"Sweet!" He cheers. "Oh man, this is going to be wicked!"
"I still don't see why we shouldn't do a cultural theme." Harold remarks. "Nobody will listen though." He sighs and plops onto the sand. "Gosh…"
*ding*
"C'mon, cheer up man." The wannabe jock says, walking over to the nerd. "Besides, we're at a beach, so why not use the stuff Chris gave us and do a beach theme?"
"It'll be totally awesome!" Sasha cheers, running over. "Just go with it Harold, and be happy!"
(In the background, five consecutive beats play, kicking off the song as the camera pans over to the beach volleyball court, with Harold on one side, and Sasha on the other)
Sasha: This all seems wrong, just not right for you,
But hey - sun, sand and sea, what's there left to do? (She chucks a ball in the air and spikes it over the net)
(Tyler pops up next to Harold and tries to set it back, but it ends up hitting him in the face)
Tyler: Just don't- get hurt, although it's nothing new to me (he sits up with scruffy hair and does a thumbs-up)
DJ: (grabs the ball and serves it over the net) It's still fun, so don't feel down, you just wait and see
(On the other side, Sasha leaps in the air to catch it, and takes a footed landing, the BFFs now on either side of her)
Katie, Sadie & Sasha: C'mon, be happy…
Tyler: Just join in, if you feel like a fun game on the beach,
Katie, Sadie & Sasha: C'mon, be happy…
(Beth runs past in the background with a yellow and white surfboard. Jake is filming her on the video camera)
Beth: Just join in, if you feel that happiness can be reached. (She joins in singing with Sasha and the BFFs)
Girls: C'mon, be happy…
Cameron: (Looks up from the lyric sheet) Just have fun, don't worry about not making it good,
Girls: C'mon, be happy…
DJ: Just have fun, go for it and do what you think you should,
XX – Team Zulu
(Near the river, Anne Maria and Alejandro are both refusing to get down and dirty for a scene in their music video. The former has her arms crossed in defiance, and the latter has his hands on his hips. They also have slightly annoyed looks on their faces)
Brick: You got some problems, I'm aware of that,
Owen: (pops up behind Alejandro & Anne Maria, startling both) Just give it all you can, and don't hold it back,
(Gwen walks up to them, carrying a cricket bat and sporting a plain white cricket uniform, compete with a helmet)
Gwen: A little bit of dirt shouldn't hurt much (she turns around and gets into position, batting away a red cricket ball soon after)
Matt: (ducks as the ball flies past…he didn't bowl it btw) Seriously now, it ain't bad to touch -to touch,
Isabelle & Sierra: C'mon, be happy… (former lowers the video camera down, latter looks over her shoulder)
Leshawna: (catches ball) Don't forget if we lose, elimination's on the line, (throws the ball to the next batter – Staci)
Staci: C'mon, be HAPPY! (whacks the ball away into the trees)
Sierra: (stumbles after the ball) Don't forget, if you do the scene you'll still be fine (falls down over a tree stump) OW!
Isabelle: (cringes) C'mon, be happy…
Matt: You can-
Owen: (interrupts the song by farting really loudly)
"OWEN!" Gwen and Leshawna yell.
"Oh…that's BAD!" Isabelle chokes out, covering her nose and mouth.
"Aw DUDE!" Duncan shouts.
"Ay caramba!" Alejandro exclaims between coughs and gags.
"Sorry!" Owen hurriedly apologizes, stepping away.
"Well…what now?" Leshawna asks, looking over the lyric sheet. "Are we doin' the scene in the middle of the mud or what?"
Confessional – Anne Maria:
"Ok, I gotta say dat I don't really wanna have to get mah hair and nails all messed up. But…I don't wanna miss out on a million dollars…oh, what da heck, I dunno…"
XXXX – Team Mali
"Wait, can we redo that one?" David asks from behind the camera. "I didn't exactly time the video right."
"Yep." Mike replies, shuffling up to the top of a reasonably steep slope.
"And…go."
The MPD teen pushes off on his snowboard and crouches down to pick up speed. Getting the signal that the footage was caught, he prepares to slow down. Suddenly, he loses control and veers off to the side, falling over and banging his head hard on a flat rock.
"HOLY *bleep*!" David shouts, just about dropping the camera.
"What's happening?" Chris asks as he passes overhead in the helicopter. He spots Mike's unconscious form and groans, pulling out a walkie-talkie. "MEDIC!" He shouts into it.
"WHOA, DUDE!" Geoff yells, running over. "Oh man, that's not good."
Dawn stops a few metres away on skis, and gasps as she sees Mike.
Confessional – Dawn:
"This is what I predicted to happen! I am also sensing a dark force taking control of the game in the future. But…I am confused as to why I sense it coming from Mike. His aura's showing an extremely small amount of black. And it is somehow linked to him getting hurt just before." She taps her chin in thought. "I know none of his personalities are that bad…are they?"
XX
The rest of Team Mali is gathered around as Mike is escorted off to the medic.
"What do we do now?" Dakota asks.
"Well…I guess there isn't that much left to do." Courtney replies. "We've only got a few more scenes to film and then we're done."
"Ok."
"So…who wants to do the giant leap then, if Mike can't?"
XX – Team Aztec
Unlike Team Mali, there were no problems for Team Aztec.
"SHA-BAM!" Lightning shouts, having just swung around a signpost.
"Alright!" Cody cheers, turning the camera off. "We are done!"
More cheers erupt from the rest of the team as the two guys join them.
"Now what?" Bridgette asks.
Silence ensues for a few seconds as everyone's excited faces drop.
"Good question." Logan remarks, scratching his head.
Before anyone can do anything, a ladder drops down, nearly knocking Heather over.
"What the…" She begins, looking up to see the Jumbo Jet looming above them.
"I think we just climb up!" Zoey shouts over the noise of the plane's engines.
XX – Team Zulu
Having eventually agreed to do the dirt scene (yet toning it down a bit), Anne Maria and Alejandro are standing opposite each other, with the latter facing the other way, and the former with a clump of mud in her hands.
"Three, two, one…go!" Isabelle calls, starting the video.
Alejandro ducks under a small clump (thrown by Duncan) and smirks. He looks over his shoulder to watch it soar away, but gets pelted by Anne Maria's clump, leaving a muddy splatter on his face.
"Now dat's actually funny!" The Jersey reject giggles as the video is stopped. "Wait, was dis our last scene or somethin'?"
"Yeah!" The child star excitedly replies, turning the camera off as a shadow falls upon them. "Uh…what's that?" She asks, looking up.
"I think it's the plane." Gwen replies, only just able to see the bottom of the large plane.
Suddenly, a ladder tumbles down, clonking Sierra on the head.
"Ow!" She exclaims, rubbing her head.
"Well…this looks like our ride." Brick remarks, starting to climb up.
XX – Team Inca
"And…cut!" Sasha shouts from behind the camera as Katie spikes the volleyball over the net. "Awesome! Just one more scene to go! Wait, who was doing it again?"
"I was." Jake replies, lifting up a surfboard.
"Oh…duh. Anyway, we've got everything…except for the very beginning scene. You know what was planned for that one, right?"
"Yep."
"Ok." The bubbly twin runs over to stand by a tree, and holds the camera up. "THREE, TWO, ONE…GO!" She shouts, pressing the video record button.
Jake runs towards the sea and puts the surfboard in front of him, leaping onto it as soon as the water was deep enough.
"CUT!" His sister yells. "WOOHOO! People, we are finished!"
"Alright!" Tyler cheers.
"Sweet!" DJ exclaims.
"EEEEEEEEE!" Katie and Sadie squeal.
A large shadow passes overhead, followed by a ladder dropping down just above the shoreline
"Here's the plane!" Beth calls, running over and starting to climb up.
Cameron and B eventually follow her lead, as well as Jake, Sasha and DJ.
Tyler is about to climb on, when he realizes something.
"Hey, where did Harold go?' He asks, running towards a beach track into the trees. "Harold? Dude, come on. It's time to go."
*sigh* "Coming." Harold's voice calls back in reply, seeming to come from up a tree.
XX – Plane, Dining hall
Teams Aztec and Zulu are gathered around a table each, all their gear and props from the challenge piled in a corner.
"Three down, one to go!" Chris announces over the intercom as Team Inca walks in. "To the Southern Alps, Chef!"
"Phew…that actually was fun." Sasha remarks, chucking a beach ball in the air.
"I hear ya." DJ adds, plonking the poles for the volleyball net in the corner.
"That was definitely a once in a lifetime challenge." Cameron says. "I wasn't expecting something like making a music video."
Confessional – Cameron:
"I must admit, I had never seen a music video before I went on Total Drama, let alone been in one. But after season four, I kinda got immersed in the new way of life." He shrugs and smiles. "And I gotta say, I am quite enjoying it."
XXXX – Elimination area
Chef kicks the ladder down towards the mountain slope, and it almost immediately gets tugged on (by someone climbing up). He turns around to walk out…
"That was an interesting challenge." A voice says from behind him.
"GAH!" The cook exclaims, whirling around to face the owner of the voice – Dawn.
"I suppose I should go and wait in the dining hall now." She finishes, walking out.
Chef just stares ahead in shock, still dumbfounded by the moonchild's sudden appearance. Sighing heavily, he walks over to the door and looks out for the rest of Team Mali.
XX – Dining hall
"So, what are we doing next?" Isabelle asks the rest of her team. "We've done all the filming, but won't we need to edit it and stuff? I mean, we can't just have it as it is."
"Girl's got a point." Leshawna adds. "No editing means no proper music video. How's that gonna get us to first class?"
"No editing…what?" Cody calls from his team's table. "Do we have to edit the video or something?'
"Most probably." Brick replies.
The room is silent for a minute. Nobody even says anything when Dawn walks in without her team. After a somewhat awkward silence, a chair rattling sounds out.
Noticing that the sound came from next to him, Duncan looks to see Gwen walking away from the table, and out into the hallway.
"Where you going?" He asks.
"I'm going to find Chris." The goth replies. "Whatever he's doing…"
XX – Cockpit
Chris is leaning back in the co-pilot seat, sipping on a cool glass of lemonade.
"Ahh…" He sighs. "Nothing like a cold drink on a hot day."
Suddenly, a loud knocking on the wall sounds out, startling the host.
"What?" He asks, annoyed.
"Do we need to edit the videos?" Gwen asks from behind the curtain.
"That's the next part of the challenge, so yes."
"Ok then."
Confessional – Gwen:
"This is going to be a snap." She snaps her fingers, smirking. "Three years of computer tech classes finally paying off."
XXXX – Dining hall
"Alrighty!" Chris announces as the rest of Team Mali arrives. "Your next challenge is to splice all your video clips together, plus your allocated song and…anything else you want to add. Choose three people from your team, and meet in the control room."
"Wait…where's Mike?" Zoey asks, suddenly noticing that he wasn't present.
"He…uh, fell over.' David replies. "Hit his head real hard on a rock."
"What?" The indie chick exclaims, getting up. "Where is he?"
"I don't know, actually."
"Probably in the medic room…wherever that is." Courtney puts in, dropping a green snow jacket and two pairs of ski poles in the corner.
Gasping, Zoey runs out of the room and down the hallway, nearly bumping into Gwen.
"Sorry!" She hurriedly calls back before bolting around the corner.
"Uh…what just happened?" Gwen asks, scratching her head in confusion.
"I…don't really know." Bridgette replies, also slightly dumbfounded. "Anyway…" she turns back to her team, "who wants to do the video?"
"I'll do it." Cody volunteers, walking out. "Me and technology go well together."
"Meh, I'll give it a shot." Noah adds, following the tech geek out of the room.
"Ok…who else?" The surfer girl asks.
The whole team is silent for a few minutes, until Logan shrugs and stands up.
"I will." He says, grabbing the video camera, lyric sheet and CD. He runs out to join his other teammates.
Over at Team Inca, the three are also easily chosen.
"Jake and I do computer tech at school, so we got this!" Sasha says, determined. "Anyone else in?"
"I guess I could." Cameron replies, putting a hand up.
"Alright then. Let's go."
The bubble boy grabs the camera, while the twins take either the lyric sheet or the CD.
XX – Somewhere else…
Zoey runs around corner after corner, looking for any door that had a first aid sign on it.
"Oh, this is not good, this is not good!" She says over and over again.
She bursts through a closed door and looks around, spotting a grand piano, a four person hot tub, a king-sized bed and a wood-fired pizza oven.
"Oh…whoops. This isn't the medical room." The indie chick bolts back out and takes a left turn, running ahead until a solid door stops her. "OW!" She exclaims, rubbing her forehead. She looks up at the door and gasps, for on the door is a red cross.
Grabbing the handle, Zoey cautiously opens the door, and steps inside. Her anticipation is replaced by disappointment as she looks around the first-aid cupboard she had just walked into.
"This…isn't right either."
Confessional – Zoey:
"Ok…not only am I worried about Mike, but his personalities might be in danger as well! I mean, he hit his head really hard…oh, I don't know!" She holds her head in her hands. "I just hope it's not as bad as it sounds!"
XXXX – Dining hall
"Alright, who's editing and who isn't?" Leshawna asks her team.
"Yah, my great-great-uncle invented video editing…but I'm not very good with computers." Staci babbles, sighing afterwards.
"I'm in." Gwen says, standing up with all three items (lyrics sheet, camera and CD) in hand.
"Omg, I have done so much video editing before!" Sierra excitedly says. "So I'm totes doing it!"
"Ok, who else then?"
The remaining team members look around, daring each other to volunteer. Eventually, after a staring match with Alejandro, Duncan gives in and stands up, following the two girls out of the room. They are closely followed by Izzy, Geoff and Dawn.
Chris walks in, causing the remaining teens to all look up.
"What do we do now?" Trent asks. "It is getting kinda late…"
"You guys can just hang around in your team's current quarters. These guys are gonna be working overnight." Chris replies.
"Overnight?" Bridgette exclaims. "Isn't that a little too much?"
"Well, the videos are gonna take a while to do. And relax, they'll be done by midnight at the earliest. Dinner in an hour!"
The contestants all look at each other, before dispersing from the dining hall in small groups, going to either economy, middle or first class.
XX – Control room
The twelve teens wait by the many screens as Chris walks back in.
"Alright! Let's get this started!" He cheers. "Each team gets a computer for the job, so don't worry. You'll then get to play geeks for a few hours."
"And how long is "a few hours"?" Logan asks, now fairly aware of the host's little tricks.
"Oh, you might be done by midnight if you're quick enough."
A riot of complaints echoes through the room.
"What?"
"That's crazy!"
"No thanks."
"That's too late!"
"I won't have time to read my tea leaves if I do that!"
"You serious now?"
"GUYS!" Sierra yells over the noise. "Chris is right! Video editing does take a really long time, so it'll be normal if we finish somewhere around midnight!"
The room suddenly plunges into an almost deathly silence.
"That was just awkward." Geoff remarks, scratching his head.
"Anyway, I'll leave you guys to it!" Chris finishes, walking out of the room. "Choose one of the four labelled computers situated around the room, and get working!"
Confessional – Duncan:
"Can't complain. Too many late nights at juvie to even count. I'm still game."
X
Cody:
"Ok…so we'll be staying up late, on computers, for a challenge…?" He stands up. "Never thought we'd ever be doing that."
X
Jake:
"Well…my first confessional. So yeah, this part of the challenge is crazy."
X
Gwen:
"Staying up possibly past midnight to edit the video…this better be worth a challenge win."
XXXX – Middle class, Team Zulu
Leshawna walks in and flops onto her bed, sighing.
"Damn, I feel tired." She says, rubbing her eyes. "Glad I'm not staying up 'til midnight tonight."
"I hear ya." Anne Maria puts in, climbing onto the top bunk opposite. "Dat was hard work. Even if it seemed easy."
Owen stumbles in, and falls onto the floor.
"Phew…man, that was awesome!" He cheers. "And tiring. I'm just gonna…go to sleep." He pulls himself up, only to flop on the lone bunk near the door.
"So…what now?" Isabelle asks as she enters, closely followed by Matt and Alejandro. "Do we just…hang around for a bit?"
"That seems to be the case." The Spaniard replies, walking over and sitting down on a bottom bunk.
Sighing, the child star climbs onto the bunk above Leshawna, moving her folded up blankets to the side.
XX – First class
"Well, another night in first class and the challenge isn't over yet. I like the sound of that." Trent remarks, sitting on the window seat (next to the lookout window).
The rest of the team (that is present) is just lounging around, either in the dining room, their bedrooms, or even the hallway.
Zoey sits near the stairs, having had no success in finding Mike. She lets out a heavy sigh and looks ahead, her eyes seeming slightly vacant.
"You ok out there Zoey?" Bridgette calls from the dining room.
"Yeah…I'm fine." The indie chick replies, dropping her hands into her lap.
"Ok then. We're all in here if you need to talk to someone."
"Thanks."
XX – Economy class
"Dang, another night in here." Tyler groans, flopping down onto the ground. "I liked the original economy class better."
"I guess some of us can't complain, because we haven't even been in the old Jumbo Jet, let alone economy class." Beth says, sitting cross-legged on top of her blankets. "But…it did look a little bit nicer than this one."
Harold then walks in, having just gone on a short self-tour of the plane.
"Random question, but where do you think we could be goinig after this?" He asks, sitting down next to the wannabe jock.
"Uh…I dunno, really." DJ replies.
"I'd love to go to India!" Sadie says excitedly.
"Omigosh, me too!" Katie adds, squealing. "And somewhere in Africa too!"
"That would be, like, so cool!"
"Hey, do you think Chris has still got those games from last episode?" Beth asks, standing up.
B thinks for a minute, and nods, gesturing that he saw them earlier.
"Ok, I'll go get some!" The farm girl rushes off.
Confessional – Beth:
"Those games may have been boring during the previous challenge, but they sure do sound like a good way to pass the time!"
XXXX – Middle class, Team Mali
The present members of the team are all sitting on their beds, just minding their own business. Suddenly, a quiet but firm knocking comes from the other side of the door, causing everyone to look up in surprise.
"Who's that?" Dakota asks, hopping off her top bunk.
"I guess there's only one way to find out." Courtney replies, walking over to the door. But as she reaches for the handle, the door opens itself, revealing what, or more importantly who was on the other side.
"Hey guys." Mike says, an ice pack clamped to the top of his head.
"Whoa, you ok there?" David asks, sitting up.
"Yeah, kinda. My head feels pretty funny though…but apart from that, I guess I'm alright. Just have to rest well tonight."
"Oh…"
Geoff wanders past, on his way to the bathroom, when he sees the MPD teen standing in the doorway to his team's current hideout.
"Dude! You're ok!" He cheers. "Oh man, that's good news!"
The party guy runs off around the corner, going past the first class stairway.
Mike steps back out, and is about to walk off, but stops when he feels a pair of arms wrap around his body.
"Mike! Oh, thank god, I was so worried!" Zoey gushes.
"Aw, don't worry about it! I'm ok now."
"I know. It's just such a relief! And…where was the medical room?"
"Attention everyone!" Chris announces over the intercom, causing the two lovebirds to look up. "Dinner is now ready in both first and economy classes. Team Mali, you guys know the drill, so you and Team Zulu better get cracking! And no, you video editors don't have to go and join your teams for dinner. You get dinner brought to you, by your teammates."
XX – Control room
(Time lapse)
The theme song plays in the background as the time lapse begins, the clock on the wall changing fast. For the next few hours, quite a bit of stuff happens…
After dinner, Courtney and Brick come in and give small bowls of microwaved macaroni and cheese to their respective teammates. DJ, Harold, Beth, Bridgette, Celeste, Trent come soon after, the former three with a bowl of gruel each, and the latter three delivering a bowl each of gourmet Italian pasta.
Each team also gets a chance to listen to their allocated songs, the main purpose of that being to work out what parts of the song went where.
Several people leave throughout the evening, mainly to go to the bathroom or, in some cases, to get changed into their pyjamas.
As the hours go by, it slowly gets darker, with the four computer screens becoming a lot brighter. Eventually, at 9:30pm (according to the clock), Jake turns the light on, which shows Logan on the floor, passed out from exhaustion.
Almost as if it was a sign, others slowly start to drop out, either falling asleep in their chair or on the floor. By the time three hours had passed, all that's left is Izzy, Geoff, Sasha, Noah, Duncan and Sierra. The rest are all scattered around the room, deep in sleep, except for Dawn, who gave in about an hour earlier, and went to her team's quarters.
(End of time lapse)
Sasha adds one final special effect, and thumps her head on the table, relaxing her shoulders.
"Done…at last!" She says, sighing. "Time for…bed now…" She saves the video, shuts the computer down, and pushes the chair back, stretching.
Confessional – Sasha:
"That feels…so good to have finished!" She yawns. "I just hope it's…worth it in the end."
XX
The camera pans over to Team Zulu. Sierra is splicing the last few scenes together, while Duncan checks over the lyric sheet (which had been written on all over) that they hadn't missed anything. Next to him, Gwen has her head resting on the desk, sound asleep.
"Oh my gosh…" The uber-fan manages to say, taking a deep breath. "It's finished." She turns to the delinquent, rubbing her tired eyes. "Anything we missed?" She asks.
"Nope, nothing." Duncan replies, putting the lyric sheet down. "I'm gonna hit the hay now." He gets up and walks out of the room.
Casting a side glance towards Gwen, Sierra pulls herself up and follows suit, yawning along the way.
Meanwhile, Geoff is sitting to the side as Izzy works on the video.
"You sure you're alright with doing the last part of the video?" He asks. "I can finish off if you're too tired or something."
"No, no…Izzy's got this…" The crazy girl replies, sounding like she definitely needed to go to bed.
"Uh…ok then, if you say so. I'll just…wait here."
Suddenly, the party guy hears a computer slam shut, and turns round to see Noah shuffling out of the room.
"Man, you're lucky to be in first class. You still get a decent sleep, I guess."
"Meh." Was the firm reply.
"Done…it's done…" Izzy drones, a tired but triumphant smile on her face. "Izzy's just gonna…" She tumbles onto the floor, finally falling asleep.
Taking the computer over, Geoff quickly saves the video before shutting it down. Yawning, he gets up and walks out of the control room. Looking back and seeing nothing but sleeping contestants, he turns the light off, plunging the room into total darkness.
XX – Next day
The scene slowly fades in, and the camera pans around the control room, showing the five contestants who…basically stayed the night in there.
Chris stops by the door and sounds the hooter, causing them to wake up.
"Slumber party's over, kids!" He says cheerfully. "Time to go join your teams for breakfast!"
Rubbing his eyes, Cody gets up and shuffles out of the room, followed by a still half asleep Logan.
XX – Dining hall, one hour later
Everyone is standing in a large circle around the room, with the twelve video editors still looking like they could do with more sleep.
Chris walks in from the left entrance, where a gap in the circle was.
"Alright." He begins. "Your videos are currently being judged by…some pretty special people. And yes, they came here by a different plane."
"Uh…how are they special?" Sam asks. "Do they know a lot about music videos and stuff?"
"Are they famous?' Katie squeals.
"No, and…well, it depends on if you've been paid a visit by the paparazzi…which I hear quite a few of you have."
Some of the contestants gasp, realizing what Chris meant.
"Wait, was this all your idea?" Cody asks.
"Nope, this was, in fact, entirely Blaineley's idea." The host replies. "Now, on up to first class!" He walks out, with Bridgette being the first to follow.
XX – First class stairway
The contestants slowly walk up in single file, all anticipating the surprise that lay ahead.
Near the front, Geoff, who hadn't yet been in first class, is looking around, when an excited gasp startles him, and he looks towards where Bridgette was.
"ALISHA!" She screams, running past Chris.
"Wait, does she mean…" Courtney begins, poking her head around the doorway, and gasping as well.
The surfer girl is seen hugging a tall, slender blonde, her hair in a high plait.
Wanting to see what was happening, Geoff runs out, and almost collides with someone else. Rubbing his head, he looks to see a slightly taller male with blond hair standing in front of him.
"Ryan?" He exclaims. "DUDE! I haven't seen you in ages!"
"I know! Man, what a cruise though!
The two brothers exchange a fist bump, just as Alejandro walks past in the background, smiling.
"Carlos, mi hermano." He says, stopping in front of a tanned male with short, curly brown hair. "It has been far too long."
"Agreed." The man, otherwise known as Carlos, responds, shaking hands with his brother.
"Omigosh, two Alejandros!" Katie gasps, wiping her forehead. "I can't take this anymore…" She faints onto the floor, and Sadie looks down with a worried expression.
Tyler then walks out to take in the scene, when he spots a shorter brunette further back holding a baby in her arms.
"Johanna?" He exclaims, walking up. "Is that…"
"Little Maia? Yep it is!" She replies, stepping forward.
Donning a light pink jumpsuit, with her eyes only just open, is her three week old daughter, Maia.
"Oh man, this is special!" The wannabe jock says, almost too excited to say anything. "S-so is Darren coping?"
"Yep, he's so far a brilliant dad. Hey, you want to show your friends?"
"Uh…sure!"
"Alright then, here she is!" Johanna passes Maia over to her younger brother, who grins from ear to ear.
Lindsay and Beth are the first to spot the happenings, and run over.
"Aw, she's so cute!" The latter whispers.
"Totally!" The former whispers back.
"Hello, little one." Dawn says, having just joined them.
Tyler just can't help but smile as he looks down at his baby niece.
"Alright, alright, enough with the touching family reunions." Chris calls out. "We got some judging to do!"
The contestants all sit down wherever they are, as the four judges walk up to the front.
"Ok then. The judges have seen your videos, and each one is gonna read out their overall score for it, which is out of ten."
"So do we get to see the videos?" Dakota asks, scooting over to see Maia.
"Since we're short on time, and this is a half hour show, unfortunately not."
"Aww…" Some of the contestants moan.
"BUT…if you viewers want to see them," Chris points at the camera, "then go onto the Total Drama official website, and you'll find them there! Anyhoo, on to the judging!"
The camera pans across the four waiting judges, all now holding a small piece of paper in their hands. It stops in front of Ryan, who steps forward.
"Alright, me first." He said. "Well, this video was awesome to watch. Enjoyed every minute of it! But I heard that there was a little…screw up or something? Dunno the whole story behind it. The camera angling was perfect in this one, especially the person who did that epic leap with the snowboard. Having the sun in the background just made it that much cooler. Props to whoever was filming that one!" He clears his throat. "But in the end, we came to a decision that this one deserved a solid nine out of ten!"
Now knowing which video it was, the members of Team Mali cheer, happy to have a high score.
Confessional – Geoff:
"Aw, yeah! Now that's how we roll! Man, I think we could actually win this. But…I had seen a small part of Team Zulu's vid, and…I guess they're the only big competition in this one. It looked pretty good. I haven't seen the other two though…so anything could happen." He shrugs.
XX
"That's one down, three more to go!"
Ryan steps back, as Johanna steps forward.
"Ok, the second video…was pretty good, I gotta say." She begins. "Loved how you made great use of the props, especially the volleyball gear. And as a professional player of that sport, I will say that you three manning the turf did an awesome job!"
Tyler, Sasha and DJ grin and hi-five each other.
"Nothing much else to say, really…just that the video was awesome. But…there were a couple of errors – first, the camera seemed to be a bit shaky with some scenes. And second…I don't think we saw everyone in the video. One you was missing."
Realizing that it was him, Harold hangs his head in shame.
"That's nothing to worry about though, it was still good! So-"
A plain ringing tone sounds out, causing everyone to look round in confusion.
"Whoops…that's mine." Johanna said, pulling out her phone. "Important call. Be back in a few." She runs out of the room. "Oh, and that video was a seven!"
"So…I'm up now?" Alisha asks.
"Looks like it." Chris replies, taking a quick glance down the hallway.
"Ok then." She steps forward. "This video was just awesome, with great use of the location and props - that really made it good. I guess…the only critique we had was to…maybe make it a little more exciting? Not to say it was bad. Just needed a little bit more flair. So for you guys, we gave you an eight out of ten!"
"Sha-BAM!" Lightning cheers.
The members of Team Zulu look around at each other, knowing that their video was the last one left to be judged.
A deep, ominous beat plays in the background as Carlos steps forward, holding the score that would decide the challenge winners.
"Now…for the last video." He begins. "This one was…muy divertido. Very fun. Everything was put to a good use also. The location, the props…and all of you were on camera three times at the least. I do not have anything else to say here, except that your score is…" He pauses, causing everyone to tense up.
Teams Inca and Aztec aren't too fazed by it, as they have lower scores. However, the other two teams start to get nervous, Team Zulu in anticipation to find out their score, and Team Mali because they had the current highest score.
"…after watching that video, a ten out of ten."
"Which means that Team Zulu wins the challenge!' Chris finishes.
The atmosphere suddenly feels lighter as the members of Team Zulu cheer, the weight finally off their shoulders.
Not seeming to like all the loud noises, Maia suddenly starts crying.
"Crap…" Tyler gulps, looking down the hallway. "Uh…shh, it's ok…" He tries gently rocking her, which doesn't do any good. "Aw man, I'm terrible with babies!"
"Give her to Dawn!" Beth hurriedly says. "She'll have her right as rain within seconds, I'm sure!"
"Uh, ok then!" The wannabe jock passes Maia over to a waiting Dawn, who quickly starts trying to quiet her down.
"There there, little one. It's all ok now." She whispers, but to no avail.
"Maybe try going out of the room?" Dakota suggests. "It'll be quieter out there."
"Good idea." The moonchild stands up and walks through to the hallway, where it is much quieter.
"Anyhoo…this was going to be a reward challenge…" Chris begins, "but since there was no elimination yesterday, and the same team lost…Team Inca! Time to pay a visit to the elimination room!"
"Darn it…" Harold groans, just as a flustered Johanna runs back in.
Looking up, Tyler notices his sister run over to Alisha, quickly explaining something to her. Carlos and Ryan soon join, both seeming to be declining an offer of some sort. Wondering what was going on, he gets up and walks over.
"What's the problem?" He asks, catching Johanna's attention.
"I've got a team meeting to go to, Darren's got a business trip…and Maia's got nowhere to go!" His sister replies.
"We're all busy too, so we can't take her." Alisha puts in, gesturing to her and the two guys.
"Darn…the only thing I can think of is that you leave her here with us," the wannabe jock suggests, "but…I don't think-"
"Yes, just do that. T-this has just come upon me completely unplanned and unexpected, and I'll just about do anything right now!"
"Ok then."
"Hey, is that the other plane?" Bridgette asks, peering out the lookout window.
Johanna looks towards the window and gasps.
"Yes it is!" She turns back to face her brother. "Ok, here's what you need to remember…"
XX – Elimination area
The members of Team Inca slowly file in, with Tyler carrying Maia in his arms.
"Alright then." Chris begins, standing by the drum barrel. "You guys ready to vote?"
"Uh…maybe?" Sasha replies.
"Good! Then go ahead and cast your votes!"
Confessional – Katie & Sadie:
"Ok, so I think Harold's, like, the reason we lost or something." The chubbier of the two says. "Aw, I feel mean now!"
"Don't feel that way!" Her friend reassures her. "Besides…we don't, like, really have any people on our team that's nasty…so voting's gonna get really hard later on in the game. Oh, and we vote for Harold. Sorry!"
X
DJ:
"Man, I know Harold was feeling a bit down, but he kinda was the reason we lost. I hate saying this, but he's my vote tonight." He waves at the camera. "Sorry dude."
XX
"The votes have now been tallied!" The host continues, holding up a tray of chocolate bars.
XX – Cargo hold
Lindsay walks into the cargo hold, deciding to do some exploring. She looks ahead, and notices a petite figure sitting cross-legged on the floor.
"H-hello?" She asks.
"Yes?" The figure replies, getting up and walking over, revealing themselves to be Dawn. "What is it?"
XX – Elimination area
"A tasty treat, or a one-way ticket to loserville. The first bar goes to…DJ!"
"Sweet!" The brickhouse cheers, catching the chocolate bar with one hand.
"Next up…Jake and Sasha! You two are both safe!"
"Alright!" The twins say at the same time.
XX – Cargo hold
"What are you seeing? Like, when you were…what's the word…meditating just then."
"Oh…I am seeing terrible things."
"Terrible?"
"Yes. A dark force is going to take hold of the game…and no one on this plane is safe! Not even Chris and Chef!"
XX – Elimination area
"Cameron!"
"Phew…" Cameron sighs, the chocolate bar landing in his lap.
"Tyler…or Mama Hen!"
"Dude, seriously?" Tyler exclaims as he walks up to collect his symbol of survival.
XX – Cargo hold
"No one's safe?" Lindsay exclaims.
"No one at all. Not even you." Dawn closes her eyes for a second, then opens them again. "And…if you stay in the game past episode…ten, I think…your life could end up in grave danger!"
"Oh my gosh…so is that the same for everyone?"
"No…specifically you."
XX – Elimination area
"Beth!"
"Yeah!" Beth cheers, leaping up to catch her chocolate bar.
"B!"
The silent teen wipes his brow as he catches the chocolate bar, then doing a thumbs up for the camera.
XX – Cargo hold
"B-b-but…why just me?"
"This new…force will be looking for people like you to take down. And what I'm seeing is too terrifying to even mention!"
"Oh no…s-so what do I do? How do I stay safe?"
"Go. Leave the game."
XX – Elimination area
"And…Sadie!"
Sadie happily acclaims her chocolate bar, only to realize that Katie was in the bottom two.
"No…not Katie…" She whispers.
The camera pans over to a fairly scared Katie, and down towards a remorseful Harold.
"The final chocolate bar…goes to…"
XX – Cargo hold
"Leave?"
"Yes! It's the only way to ensure your safety!"
"But…what about the million dollars?"
"Forget about it. Saving yourself from danger is so much more important than that. Now hurry! The elimination ceremony is not far from finishing!"
Gasping, Lindsay runs out, leaving Dawn standing alone in the room.
"Oh, thank goodness…another soul out of harm's way…" She whispers, sitting down to meditate again.
XX – Cargo hold
"…Katie!" Chris finishes, chucking the last remaining chocolate bar at the aforementioned competitor.
Sighing with relief, Katie catches it, hugging Sadie afterwards.
"We're sorry Harold." Sasha says, placing a comforting hand on the now former contestant's shoulder.
"Yeah, we are sorry." DJ puts in. "It's just so hard when all of us left on the team don't have a single mean bone in our bodies."
"It's ok." Harold replies, getting up. "I understand. And I'm…sorry for not being in the music video."
"Aw, come on man, no need to be sorry!" Tyler adds.
"You guys done yet?" Chris asks, sounding impatient.
"Yep, I'm ready…I guess." The nerd replies, standing up and walking over to the exit.
"Alrighty then!" The host chucks him a parachute just as he reaches the door.
"Thank-whoa-hoa-AHHH!" Harold shouts, losing his balance and falling out.
"Chris!" Beth exclaims.
"Not cool!" Tyler puts in.
"And that's another-"
"WAIT!" A voice yells.
All eleven heads in the room (yes, including Maia) turn to the entrance as Lindsay runs in.
"I can't go on in the game!" She cries. "It's not safe!"
"Of course it's not safe." Chris laughs. "This game is never safe!"
"Yeah, but we're all in danger! Even you!"
"Wait, what?"
"Something bad is gonna happen! Something really bad!"
"How did you find out?" Beth asks.
"Donna told me! Wait…no, Dusk…no…"
"You mean Dawn?" Sasha suggests.
"Yes! Listen to her! She can see really bad things that'll happen!" The blonde runs to the exit, grabbing a lone parachute from behind Chris. "I have to leave, or I could end up in really bad danger! Like…life threatening danger!" She puts the parachute on her back, turns to face the exit, and jumps out. "Just listen to Dawn!" She shouts, her voice trailing off.
Everyone is left completely shell-shocked, even Chris.
"Well…that was definitely unexpected." He remarks, turning to face the camera. "Who's gonna…take the drop next time? And what does Dawn mean that something bad is gonna happen? AND how's our newest passenger gonna cope? Just…tune in next time, on Total Drama World Tour - Take Two. Sheesh, I'm confused." He rubs his head.
PHEW! That was long. *looks at word count* 9800 words?
WOOHOOOOOO!
Now THAT is what I call a milestone. Nearly 10,000 words. Wowee.
Anyway…looks like the new passenger is a baby (uh-oh). How do you think that's gonna work out? And how did you like the input of the surprise judges?
Sorry to fans of Harold and Lindsay…but I couldn't really see either of them making it far in this game…especially with what's about to happen (I bet most of you know what's gonna happen). Plus, I had gotten the idea of someone conveying a message from Dawn, and the first contestant to come to mind was Lindsay.
Oh, and those italic things? They're names of well-known NZ songs, except for the one Team Aztec had, which is actually titled "Why Does Love Do This To Me?" Just had to alter it so that it would fit the scenario. They were the songs that each team was given for their music videos, if that clears things up.
That aside…stay tuned!
