Way Past 16

"And this stain looks like a strawberry milkshake!" Owen shouted, pointing at the pink stain on the sheets in room eight.

"There's a strawberry milkshake stain in every room." I hissed, scrubbing at the dirt on the floor. This was the third time we had cleaned all of the rooms this week. No guests arrived, so Justin created work for us.

"If you aren't put to work, you can't stay here." Justin had said as he dumped ketchup on the bathroom floor of one of the rooms.

I sighed and looked out the window. It looked like it was about eight o'clock, and we're done working at nine. Only one more boring hour to go.

At first, I thought it was just another car passing us by. But out the window, I saw it was moving closer. A car. Parking in the lot. I gasped. It was my way out.

"Owen, look out that window!" I pointed at the car.

"Did Justin order us pizza?" Owen shouted excitedly.

I shook my head vigorously. "No you dipshit, a guest!"

We dropped our things and ran outside to find a young woman stepping out of a hot pink convertible. She had sandy blonde hair, blue eyes, and a skinny frame-with the exception of her breasts, which were likely the product of plastic surgery. At first, she seemed like just another stripper coming from the local club, but with some squinting, I noticed that her face looked familiar. Then, she spoke.

"Can you tell me where I can find a motel? Like…a nice one?" She asked.

"Why hello Lindsay," Justin stepped out from inside. "So good to see you again."

"Justin? Is that you?" Lindsay gasped. She threw her arms around him. "Hi babydoll! I haven't seen you since Total Drama ended!"

"Would you like to stay a night, darling?" Justin asked.

"Of course! Can I stay with you?" She asked in a seductive voice.

"Always." Justin whispered. Then he turned to us. "You two, keep cleaning and leave the lovely Lindsay and I to catch up."

"If I hear moaning, I swear I'm gonna kill someone…" I grumbled.

Owen looked over at me as Lindsay and Justin walked off. "What did you say, Iz?"

"Owen, we have a problem. And I might just have a solution." I responded, grinning. I grabbed his hand and dragged him to the last room. I reached under the bed and was relieved to find that everything was still where I left it. I pulled out a piece of paper and a lot of fancy machinery.

"What's all this?" Owen asked.

"I'm gonna bomb this place." I looked at the piece of paper. Everything was in perfect detail. While Justin is asleep, I'd set off some bombs that I placed while we were cleaning. We'd steal a car and make a quick getaway. With Lindsay here, we had the option of stealing her car, but we needed to figure out a way to get out of here.

"How are we gonna get away with this?" Owen shouted.

"Shh..." I shushed him. "We'll steal a car and some money so we can get out as soon as possible."

"And then can we get food?" He genuinely smiled.

I shook my head and laughed. "Sure."

That night, we convinced Lindsay that a hurricane was coming, and we also needed to borrow her car. Seeing as Lindsay is as dumb as a post, it didn't take too long.

"Okay Big O, we have exactly two minutes before the bombs go off, let's get our things and get in the car." I said, trying to hurry him along. It took about a minute to get everything together, and then we quickly hopped into the car and drove off. About a mile or so down the road, we could hear the explosion and breathed a sigh of relief.

"We did it." Owen said in monotone.

"Why say it like that?" I asked.

"Now I'm just as much of a criminal as you are." He sighed. "Frankly Izzy, I'm scared." Owen looked out the window and ran a hand through his hair.

"You were already thrown onto the list for helping me." I reminded him of when he helped me make a getaway at the gas station. "This is just another mark on your record."

"True." He nodded.

"And for another thing, they don't have any proof that it was you." I smirked. "We didn't leave any evidence behind because we blew it all up! Boom boom!"

"That's the Izzy I know." Owen said with a smile.

About an hour later, we found ourselves stopping at a hotel. Using some of the money we stole, we booked a nice room, and hopefully, we would finally get some sleep tonight.

As soon as we entered our room, I launched myself onto one of the two beds. "Owen, you don't know how crazy I would've gone if we didn't end up here." I murmured into a pillow.

"Gone crazy? Iz, you were never here!" Owen chuckled but fell silent when I gave him a look. "I guess I'm happy we found this place too. I wonder if they have room service…"

I shook my head and laughed. "You would." I got up and headed towards the window, opening it and looking out. Things looked pretty nice from our room. Then I noticed the pool. "Owen! There's a pool!"

"But we don't have bathing suits." Owen reminded me.

"We have money now Big O, we can buy stuff." I said, smiling.

Owen smirked. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot what it feels like to not have to mooch money off of someone else."

We took a quick trip to a mall and bought bathing suits, as well as some new clothes and other various necessities. Except for Owen's DVD collection.

"Did you really have to buy ten movies?" I asked him.

"I got five scary movies and five comedies." He replied. "At least we can entertain ourselves."

I sighed as we left the current store and headed towards another. As we walked in, we saw two young adult men holding hands.

"Is that who I think it is?" Owen asked.

I gasped. "It is!"


A/N: I'm pretty sure you guys can figure out who it is :) Sorry this took so long, I have a major writer's block for this story. Btw, please check out my other Total Drama story called Total Drama Island with a Twist. We have twenty-two new characters joining the fray and three (Chris, Chef, and a newcomer) hosts. I'm putting a poll up for the story, and even if you don't plan on reading it, you can vote so I can make up my mind about this stuff. Now review, review, review! I heard that if you review, somewhere, out in California, a muffin falls out of the sky and into Owen's lap...hey, if you guys review, I might add that into the story!
