In the Yacht's Diner (with Andrew and Ronnie, after The First Aftermath)

Ronnie and Andrew are eating their dessert. Ronnie's almost done while Andrew hasn't touched his.

"Thanks a lot for sharing the dessert reward with me!" Ronnie exclaims, digging into his banana split.

Andrew blushes slightly. "No problem."

Ronnie quickly finishes. "I already ate it all? Well, at least I'll get more tomorrow…"

"Um… you can have mine." Andrew says, passing his over.

"Really?"

Andrew nods.

"Thank you so much!" Ronnie says, once again digging in.

Andrew continues watching him eat.

Confessional

"What? I can't help it." Andrew says. "Besides, I'll get some fanboys and girls. Fujoshi, fudanshi, Team Andrew all the way! Or Team Ronnie… I'd be happy with either…"

He puts his elbow on his knee and rests his chin on his palm.

"Yeah, Team Ronnie is good…"

*Static*

In Chris' Office (with Chris on the phone before the season starts)

"Great, so I can still get Pahkitew Island for the next season?" Chris asks the person on the phone. "… what? I guess we'll need all of our interns to trap it… well, it won't be able to hurt the campers, myself, the interns, Chef or the new co-host, will it?" Chris pauses once again. "… okay, in that case, I'll risk it. Worst comes to worst we can use it as a challenge… thank you!"

In the Mall (with Dakota and Carly slightly after The First Aftermath)

"So…" Dakota starts. "Why would you want Lily to win?" She asks.

"U-um, well, you see… she just seems… nice… and while I get along with Andrew… and Ronnie too, I guess… she and I get along better…" Carly answers before pausing. "Although, she has Luna… I guess it's hopeless…"

"What's hopeless?" Dakota probes.

"NOTHING!" Carly instantly says, than, startled by her outburst, literally jumps a foot in the air. "I-I mean… nothing…"

"If you say so." Dakota responds. She than waits before Carly goes around a few racks and such looking at some clothing merchandise before turning to the camera. "She definitely likes Lily."

On the Island (with Gareth, Dakota and some other interns, before Gareth rode The Unsafe-Roller-Coaster-of-Shame)

"May I ask why we're digging pitfalls and building snares?" The detective asks.

"You may," a male intern asks, "but that doesn't mean we'll answer. Dakota's really the only one who's even supposed to be able to talk to you."

"Since I'm the head intern, though, I ignore Chris' rules." Dakota says. "If the other interns want to talk, I let them talk. But for why we're building animal traps – er, I mean, pitfalls and snares, I'm not allowed to say."

"So we're trying to trap an animal?" Gareth once again asks.

Dakota quickly answers. "No! This is for a future challenge."

"I see…" Gareth says.

Confessional

"Okay, it's pretty obvious that they are, in fact, trying to catch an animal. For one thing, she said she wasn't allowed to tell me, but then said it's for a future challenge to cover up her saying they were animal traps." The detective points out. "I wonder what kind of creature they're trying to catch… I would warn the other contestants, but I'm stuck building these traps… and since I didn't really talk to anyone, I doubt anyone will see me off. Plus I don't want to get Dakota in trouble. I just hope everyone'll be alright."

In a Random Cave (with Lily and Luna who are taking shelter from rain, before Rhonda's elimination)

"Now that Olive's gone, I'm guessing you want Aaren to be the next target?" Luna asks Lily.

Lily nods. "Yeah. He'd kind of scary. Plus I saw him being mean to Carly."

"I take it that you like her?" Luna asks, rhetorically.

"Yeah- wait, what? Um, no! Not at all! Well, as a friend, but you know what I mean! You're jumping to conclusions!" Lily exclaims.

Luna simply rolls her eyes. "You like her."

Lily gives up. "Yeah."

Somewhere in the Woods (with Rhonda and Dakota, after The First Aftermath)

"Gareth left a note in the eliminated-contestant-now-intern sleeping quarters." Rhonda announces. "He said the reason for building all of these traps is that there's some sort of animal around here. Is this true? Will Carly be alright?" She asks, concerned.

"Drat, I should have suspected something was up when Olive was hinting about some animal and after Gareth was questioning us… But no, nothing's wrong! Gareth's just being paranoid, like a lot of detectives are." Dakota says.

"If you say so… but if ANYTHING happens to my sister, you WILL regret it."

"Trust me, your sister's perfectly safe. Anyways, speaking of your sister, I have a mall day with her. I'll see you later. Oh, and do me a favor and destroy Gareth's note, will you? Luckily, we've built all the animal traps – I mean, traps for the challenge that we need, so we won't have any more contestant-interns, but in case anyone stumbles in there, we don't want them to get worried for no reason." Dakota says.

"Okay, I'll throw it away later. Bye!" Rhonda says, walking off towards what's presumably her quarters.

And that's the end of the shorts! All of these will be important later, so don't ignore any of what they say.

So, Carly and Lily are officially revealed to like each other, Andrew x Ronnie is my new OTP in this story, and some sort of animal is revealed to be around the island… plus I got to write more with Rhonda, Dakota and Gareth, which was cool since they all feel underdeveloped in this story. After every Aftermath, I'll be making shorts. Some shorts for the next Aftermath may be before this one still, so you may see more Joshua and Olive, and maybe even more Gareth and Rhonda. We'll see.

Anyways, what did you think of these shorts? Which was your favorite? What do you think of having the first two homosexual relationships in Total Drama in one season?

Also, I opened a poll asking who's your favorite character from this series. I request that you don't vote for one of your own if you were a person who submitted an OC. This poll may bring back a contestant during the merge if they get enough votes, it may not. Evan and Dakota are both on the poll as well. It's confirmed that Evan's coming back as a contestant, and Dakota might possibly become a contestant as well if she gets enough votes.

Welp, I'm signing off for now!
