"Welcome back to Total Drama!" Chris shouted, as the camera panned to look at him. "Last time we saw yet another lacklustre performance from our lacklustre cast!"

Chris stops, annoyed. "Who the hell wrote this? Bring him here, NOW!"

Chef Hatchet approached him with a Writer. "What's your name?"

The writer hesitated. "B-Beck, sir."

"Did you write this?" Chris asked. Beck nodded, then pointed at another writer. "But he contr-"

"GUESS WHAT, BECK. You aren't fired, but you're now an intern again! Ha!" Chris laughed evilly. Beck frowned. Chris looked at Chuck.

"Chuck, you're the newest addition to our amazing team of writers."

Chuck gulped.

-Theme Song, 2007-

-Opening Theme-

A wide view shot of the island opens up as the camera starts to zoom in to the campground

-Dear Mom and Dad I'm doin' fine-

The camera reaches the campground and Drew is seen pushing around Callum and Dale, before being tackled by Arnold. The camera quickly changes to inside the girls' cabin and we see Bella trying on outfits with Celina.

-You guys are on my mind-

The camera changes to the woods as we see Michael sitting on the ground by a tree as Nikki walks up and waves at him, then they both blush. The scene changes to the lake where Lance is sitting on the dock, with a flower in his hand twirling it around.

-You asked me what I wanted to be-

The scene changes and we're now at the top of the mountain, where Kirsten and Sophie are brawling, with Brooklyn, Kevin, and Ricky cheering them on, eventually Kirsten pushes Sophie off the cliff, sending her plummeting into the water. Brooklyn hangs her head low as she is pushed while Kevin and Ricky congratulate Kirsten.

-You asked me what I wanted to be-

The camera follows Sophie now as she hits the water, splashing some on Veronica, who starts screaming and storms off. The scene changes back to a waterfall, where we see Aaron sitting on a rock, examining it. Suddenly he's pushed in by Sofia, who starts laughing. He surfaces and looks angry.

-Now I think the answer is clear to see-

The scene changes to the mess hall where Seth, Alice, Derek, Gabriel, and CJ are sitting, watching Zaheen do magic tricks. Of the audience, CJ looks angry at Zaheen and Seth is notably not caring. Derek and Alice are amazed and Gabriel is sitting there nervously.

-I wanna be famous!-

Gabriel all of a sudden gets up and takes Zaheen's hat off, and puts it on himself, before performing some tricks. Everyone is amazed and Zaheen is visibly pissed.

-I wanna live close to the sun-

Zaheen storms out of the mess hall angrily. The scene changes back to the campground where Arnold and Drew are fist fighting just as Ricky, Kirsten, and Kevin show up, the three go over and drag Arnold off of Drew and they gang up on him. Callum and Dale run over and try to help Arnold.

-Go pack your bags cause I've already won-

Sophie is drying off on the beach, and Lance and Celina are now sitting next to eachother on the dock, blushing. Sofia and Aaron walk back into camp, notably, Aaron is soaked and Sofia is still laughing at him.

-I'll get there one day!-

Brooklyn now appears at the campground, and runs over to help Arnold, Callum, and Dale against Drew, Ricky, Kirsten, and Kevin. Everyone else is standing around watching this. The scene changes to Michael and Nikki, close to eachother, with Nikki's head resting on Michaels shoulder, they eventually are about to kiss just as Deanna pops up out of nowhere and starts interrogating the two.

-Nanananananana-

The scene is back at the campground where everyone is standing in front of Chris, who is explaining the challenge.

-I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be-

At each of the 'I wanna be's 8 of the campers are shown, at the first one you see Drew, Arnold, Dale, Alice, Zaheen, Lance, Celina, and Gabriel. The second one you see Sophie, Bella, Derek, Deanna, Michael, Nikki, Brooklyn, and Kevin. At the final one you see Kirsten, Ricky, Sofia, CJ, Aaron, Veronica, Seth, and Callum.

-Whistling-

The twenty-four campers are shown around a campfire, whistling. Celina and Lance are blushing next to eachother, as are Michael and Nikki. Deanna gets up with a magnifying glass and starts to search around the campfire.

"BRRRRRTTT!" An airhorn sounded through the camp, as per the usual on the Kywahq Island tour routine.

"All contestants, report to the docks within the next ten minutes if you went any breakfast!" Chris shouted over the loudspeaker in the middle of the camp.

The contestants groaned. One by one, they all got up and left their respective cabins.

-Walking to the docks, everybody-

"Don't you think he's being especially mean today?" Verity asked Ricky as they walked. Ricky shrugged.

"Fine, ignore me then. Not like I care!" Verity crossed her arms.

"Sorry, V, but I'm too tired to even think about talking. Drew kept me up all night - and for some reason Callum too. Weird strategy talk..."

Verity covered her ears and shouted. "I'm not listenin', I'm not listenin'!" She ignored this important information about her standing with the rest of the team.

Kirsten kicked Ricky in the balls. "The hell are you doin'?!" She asked violently, picking a now crouched Ricky up and holding him by his neck.

"Wha-?" was all Ricky managed to say. Kirsten sighed and let him go.

"Don't talk about our," She whispered. "-Alliance."

Ricky nodded. "Okay..."

The camera panned over to Sofia, who was clearly upset. "I hate this man more than any-" She paused, yawning. "-Other man I've ever met, or seen."

"I'm with you, sister." Gabriel said, right behind her. She quickly turned around and slocked him, at the same time delivering a swift kick to his precious area.

"Gah!.. Ow... ow...ah.. ow.." Gabriel slouched over and crumpled to the ground. "Wha-what was that for..? Ow.."

"That'll tach you, filthy perv!" Sofia exclaimed. "You don't need to exist, we could do just fine on our own!"

Everyone - excluding Drew, Seth, Michael and Alice, who kept walking - stopped and watched this scene unfold.

"Perv? What? Ow.." Gabriel slowly got up. "I assure you, I'm no perv.."

Sofia was already walking away.

"She's got some issues, huh?" Ricky whispered to Callum, who nodded.

~~Confessional: Sofia~~
"Maybe I took that a bit too far?" She looked at the ground, then shot back up. "Nope! He just tried to cover up for his pervy-ness, right? Right?!"

~~End Confessional~~

-The Docks, Everyone-

Everyone arrived to see Sofia, Alice, Drew, Michael and Seth eating pancakes.

"Man, pancakes? Awesome! I was getting sick of that disgusting slop Chef makes!" Ricky exclaimed, and narrowly avoided a knife that was sent flying his way.

"Nah, man! It's great... disgusting slop is cool... yeah.." A wide-eyed Ricky said as he sat down, awaiting his breakfast.

"Sheesh, Geoff much?" Celina said. Ricky looked at her confused. "Season one, Wawanakwa?"

"Doesn't ring a bell, dude.." Ricky said.

"What'er you waiting for?" Chris said to Ricky and the others who arrived late. "If you had been here say, 30 seconds ago you would've been eating pancakes with these five!" He pointed at Michael, Drew, Seth, Sofia and Alice. "No breakfast for the rest of ya." He grinned.

Everybody groaned. Michael approached Nikki. "Want some pancake?" He asked.

Nikki hesitated, then nodded and reached out to his plate, only to be pushed aside by a wild hungry Ricky.

"Ow.." Nikki groaned, holding her arm.

"Dude, share with me too!" Ricky exclaimed cheerfully.

"What's the big idea? Just who on earth do you think YOU are?" Michael glared. "I offered her some pancake, not you. And even if I was willing to share with the likes of you, you just pushed a valued teammate of mine. So no-can-do, 'dude', no pancake for you."

Ricky frowned and walked away. "Major buzzkill, dude."

Michael set his plate down next to Nikki, who was now sitting on the ground, and sat down next to her.

"Still want some pancake?" Michael smiled.

"Is that the firs t-time you've smiled here?" Nikki asked. Michael looked at her questioningly. "N-not that it's a bad thing!" She exclaimed way to fast and awkward. "I m-mean, it's way better than you trying to drown yourself, right..?" She stopped. "Sorry. I-I.. uh, don't know when to stop sometimes.."

Michael shrugged. "No big deal. Nothing new anyways."

Nikki sighed a sigh of relief.

"You gonna eat that pancake or what?" Drew asked, walking up to them.

"You already got some!" Nikki exclaimed.

"Yeah, well I want more." Drew shrugged, then went wide-eyed as some pancake hit him in the face.

"Pff, fine. I'll just go get some from doll-face over there, after all, who could resist yours tru-" He paused, looking at Alice, who was happily sharing some of her pancake with Arnold and CJ. Drew groaned. Michael rolled his eyes.

"CHALLENGE TIME!" Chris exclaimed. Everyone looked at him, awaiting the challenge explanation. "This is a challenge I like to call 'The Seven Seas', and for good reason. See, here before me are three boats, a raft, a speedboat, and a cruise ship. You all are gonna be diving into Lake Kywahq from the top of Mount Chris, in order to find one of three keys. A bronze one, a gold one, or a silver one. Each of these keys corresponds to a different boat. Which you will then use to sail around the island, through even more obstacles, with the first two teams here keeping their boats and staying safe for this week. Any questions?"

"Um, yeah, where's Mount Chris?" CJ asked, only to be ignored.

"No? GO!" Chris shouted.

-Mount Chris, All Teams-

"Welcome to Mount Chris!" Chris shouted, as the camera zoomed outward to reveal a giant mountain protruding from the island - one that wasn't there before - at the edge of the island and waters, so you could dive off of it.

"Um, Chris?" Gabriel asked.

"What, Gabriel?" Chris replied, annoyed at answering questions all the time.

"When did this even get here?"

"Um... this morning.." Chris responded. "Now GET DIVING!" he yelled as he blew an airhorn.

CJ, Drew and Seth all jumped for their respective teams.

"Yeah, go CJ!" Alice whooped. "Woo-hoo!"

The three divers resurfaced, empty handed, and each looking dissapointed.

"NEXT!" Chris yelled.

"I'll go!" Gabriel yelled, running for the edge. Then he stopped. "But not without me, I hope!" He said to himself, then dove off the edge. Everybody else shrugged.

"I've got this, team." Arnold said, running and diving off the edge.
"Go, Arnold!" Callum cheered.

"I-I'll go..." Nikki volunteered, slowly approaching the edge.

"Get a move on, vhere losing!" Sofia said, slightly annoyed at Nikki's cowardess, and pushed her off the edge.

"Waaaaah-AAAAAAHA!" Nikki screamed as she plunged into the water below.

~~Confessional: Sofia~~
"Oops.." She had a sheepish smile on her face. "Heheh.. heh.. oh no.."

~~End Confessional~~

"What was that for, Sofia?!" Michael yelled, along with Alice. They both took a few steps towards Sofia.

"Oh, cram it, nerd boy and clumsy-locks." Sophie said. "We've got a challenge to win, so save your pettiness for later."

"I'm not that clu-" Alice started to say before she fell backwards and off the cliff, screaming the whole way down.

Everybody around facepalmed.

~~Confessional: Kirsten~~
"Did you see that?! Ha! Haha!" She started laughing uncontrollably.

~~End Confessional~~

"Pfft!" Callum tried to hold his laughter in, as did many others around him. Then Chris and Celina both started laughing at the same time, then they were joined by everyone else but the Skeletons.

"Hey, leave us alone, vill ya?!" Sofia shouted angrily.

"Hahahah! I haven't seen that in... never!" Chris shouted, laughing. "Anyways, penalty for you guys!"

"VHAT?!" Sofia yelled above the rest of her team.

"You can't have more than one diver in the water at once, and even though it was an accident, Alice still counts as a diver. Sorry, but 'dems the rules." Chris smirked sheepishly.

"B-but... AAAAAARGH!" Sofia yelled, obviously very angry.

~~Confessional: Sofia~~
"Vhen do I get to rip his head off and feed it to vild boars?" She sighed and left the confessional, saying, "I kinda vish I never signed up fer this. It's completely changing me.."

~~End Confessional~~

Gabriel re-surfaced, holding a golden key. "I've got a key! Now you may applaud me!"

"Woo-hoo! Go Gabriel!" Celina cheered, along with Derek and Deanna.

"Gabriel? Pfft! Haha! Why I'm Gunther, professional diver!" Gabriel announced, then shook his head. "Sorry.. got a little bit carried away there.." He smiled sheepishly.

"And the Green Gamers collect the Golden Key, meaning that they get the Cruise Ship!" Chris announces. "Get a move on, Oranges, Skeletons - time's runnin' out and I'll happily randomize your keys!"

The Gamer's left the area and headed towards the dock.

-Dock, Green Gamers-

"Welcome!" Chuck announced, to the Gamer's who had arrived. "Get in your boat when you're ready. I'll explain this part of the challenge. So, first, you get in your boats, then you race around the island. Simple enough, right?" The Gamer's nodded. "Wrong! You must try to avoid obstacles and traps carried out by Chef Hatchet, a new guy, and myself!"

The Gamer's nodded and got into the cruise ship. They started it up and left the docks.

-Mount Chris, Everyone else-

Sophie and Ricky were currently diving.

"Oh, look, there's the Gamer's." Chris said, pointing out the Gamer's cruise ship.

"Man, they already made it back here?" Alice said, shivering due to being in the cold water and wearing soaking wet clothes.

Drew came up behind Alice. "Hey there, how about you let this Stud warm you up with my body?"

Alice looked at him blankly. "Uh... but you're wet too, dummy." Sofia smirked.

"Grrr..." Drew scowled at her. "But c'mon, doll, you and I both know you can't resist this.." He took his shirt off to reveal his chest, which sported a 6-pack and a muscular build.

"Oh, but I can, and I w- woah!" Alice said, whilst starting to walk away and falling back, into Drew's arms.

"Now I've got you trapped, doll." Drew smirked, as Alice basically sat helpless in his arms. She still looked at him blankly, though.

"Frankly, you're not really a turn-on." CJ said, coming up behind Drew and slapping him on the back of the head, causing him to let go of Alice, who hit the ground with a hard thud!

"Ouch!" Alice yelped.

"Ay, boy, now that's no way to treat a lady, dude." CJ smirked at Drew as she helped Alice up.

"I've got one!" Ricky said, re-surfacing, but turns out he was only holding a human hand - a skeleton hand. "AAAH!" He screamed in terror, and threw it before swimming to shore.

"I've got one." Sophie said, re-surfacing, and holding a silver key.

"Nice!" Michael silently cheered.

"Let's go, team! Waoo-woo!" CJ cheered.

"Head to the docks, Skeletons, your speedboat is awaiting you!" Chris told them. "Oranges, you'll be waiting here for the next 10 minutes before I'll give you your bronze key, the one associated with the raft." Chris smirked as the Oranges all groaned.

-Dynamite Run, The Green Gamers-

"Welcome one, welcome all! To Dynamie Run!" An unfamiliar voice yelled over a loudspeaker. "If you turn to your left, you'll see me, and you'll see what awaits you!" the voice continued.

The contestants all looked left, to see a very handsome individual. He was tan, presumably a latino, and was wearing the typical intern's uniform, and sported a pretty muscular build. He had short black hair and blue eyes.

"I'm Beck!" He said, as he shot a bunch of dynamite onto the Gamer's cruise ship from an air baloon containing a 'TNT/Dynamite Cannon'. He then floated off. "Good luck!"

"Quickly, everyone, get that Dynamite off of the cruise ship!" Seth barked at his comrades.

Lance ran to a stick of dynamite and picked up, and just as he was about to throw it away, it blew up on him. He coughed, then collapsed. Seth face-palmed and Celina ran over to him.

"Lance! Lance! Are you alright? Please tell me you're alright, Lance!" Celina yelled, hugging him close to her chest.

"Heheh... boobies... ugh..." Lance fainted.

"Gross!" Celina slapped him, causing him to wake up.

"Sorry.. just me.. being pervy... like... usual.." Lance gasped for air.

"Yeah, I think he's out," Seth started to say, only to be interrupted by Celina.

"Lance is a very useful member of our team, you!" She yelled, then slapped Seth.

Seth grabbed her by the wrists - with one hand - and continued. "-For the rest of the challenge." he then smirked and let go of her, walking away.

"Y-you!" Celina yelled.

~~Confessional: Celina~~
"Crap! Now he knows how I feel about Lance! Ugh!" She teared up and left the confessional.

~~End Confessional~~

Eventually all of the dynamite was off the cruise ship and the Gamer's continued on their trip around the island.

-Dynamite Run, The Scolding Skeletons-

"Welcome to Dynamite Run!" Beck shouted, as he shot a few sticks of Dynamite to the Skeletons boat.

~~Confessional: Sofia~~
"Okay, okay. I know this is like, majorly against my morals, but that dude was vhot."

~~End Confessional~~
~~Confessional: Nikki~~
"Wow." She sighed.

~~End Confessional~~

"GUYS!" Michael shouted, trying to get his teammates attention, "We've got a challenge to win!"

CJ caught a dynamite stick and threw it back at Beck, causing his hot air balloon to explode.

"Curse you!" Beck shouted as he, and his dynamite, crash landed in the ocean. Simultaneously, a dynamite stick blew up in the speed boat, causing the boat to slow down.

"Great! Just, freakin' GREAT!" Sofia yelled, annoyed at the current situation.

"We're still in this.." Nikki muttered.

-Mount Chris, The Orca Oranges-

"Aaand up! Here ya go, Oranges, your very own, limited edition, worth-nothing, mint condition, b-"

"Just can it and give us the damn key, McLean!" Drew yelled, snatching the Bronze key as Chris glared.

"Hey!" Chris shouted at them as they ran.

-The Straightaway, The Gamers & The Skeletons-

"They're catching up!" Derek said, pointing at the Skeletons who were now pretty close to the Gamer's cruise ship.

"Not for long." Seth said, grinning evilly. He picked up a piece of Dynamite that didn't explode due to the fuse going out, and lit it with his lighter, before throwing it at the Skeletons.

~~Confessional: Derek~~
"When did Seth get so evil?"
~~End Confessional~~

The dynamite stick blew up and efectively destroyed the speed boat, causing the Skeletons to fall into the water. Chris flew by on his jetpack and looked at them.

"Well, if I were you guys! I'd start swimmin'!" Chris shouted.

"Vhy?!" Sofia yelled.

"Because! 'The Straightaway' is actually infested with Pirahnas and Sharks! He-heh!" Chris chuckled.

The Skeletons started swimming frantically towards shore.

-The Finish Line, Everyone-

The Skeletons walked up to the finish line, shivering.

"I-I-I- H-hate y-y-you." Sofia muttered through her shivering.

"Y-yeah." CJ agreed.

"Ok, all hate aside, you guys are going to be giving someone the heave-ho tonight, so meet me at the campfire pit in 20." Chris said.

The other two teams cheered and left.

-Mess Hall, The Scolding Skeletons-

"So uh, who's going?" Alice asked, very bluntly.

"I don't know. Let's just leave it down to unknowns." Nikki suggested.

"I mean... okay.." Alice shrugged it off.

"Yeah. Not likes it's best to talk about it while we're all here. That'd just be dumb, right?" CJ forced a chuckle.

"Yeah.." Michael looked down at the ground.

"Oh? I completely forgot you were on our team, Michael." Sophie muttered.

"Vow could you forget a MAN vas on our team, Sophie?!" Sofia gasped.

"Because he doesn't do anything?" Sophie shrugged. Michael opened his mouth to defend himself, but then shut it, realizing its probably for the best - or just that its very true. He hasn't done anything notable.

"Of course he's done stuff! He's a valued team member!" Nikki shot up to defend Michael.

"You only say that because you like him, Nix." Sofia said.

"W-W-What?! H-How c-c-could I-I- Aaaah!" Nikki ran away, out of the mess hall.

"Tsk." Zaheen smirked.

-Campfire Pit, The Scolding Skeletons-

"You all know how this works. Each of you will be getting a marshma-" Chris was cut off.

"-allow, blah blah blah, whoever doesn't get a marshmallow gets booted. You acknowledged that we knew already." The voice said.

It was Sophie.

"Sheesh. Go vote then."

A few minutes later...

"Alright, votes have been tallied, please allow me to read 'em - AND DON'T CUT ME OFF, SOPHIE." Chris glared at her.

Sophie just smirked.

"First up... CJ - You're safe." Chris said as CJ cheered.

"Nikki." Chris said. Nikki silently grabbed a marshmallow - hiding her face the whole time.

"Alice. Michael." Chris said.

"Alright! Woohoo!" Alice cheered. "Woa- Oof!" She tripped. Chris threw the marshmallow at her and it landed on her head. Michael silently grabbed his marshmallow.

"Three left. Who else is safe?..."

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Sofia! You're still in! Somehow." Chris said under his breath as she took the marshmallow.

"Don't think I didn't vear you, McLean." Sofia smirked. Chris sighed.

"Alright. Zaheen. Sophie. You both racked up a few votes, so which of you is going?.."

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Sophie! You're out. Zaheen, somehow, someway... you are still in!" Chris chuckled.

"WHAT?!" Sophie shouted. Zaheen just smirked.

~~Confessional: Zaheen~~

"I knew they'd vote for me. I told you - One by one, they'll all fall. Didn't I tell you that? I honestly can't even remember. because the writer hasn't really been uh, y'know, writing."

~~End Confessional~~

A flashback scene shows Zaheen messing with the votes. She's grinning evilly and laughing.

"As if they can vote me out! Pah!" She says through the laughter.

~~Final Confessional: Sophie~~

"Whatever! Just get me outta here. Not like I cared anyways. But know this, I'll get you - ALL of you on that team for voting me out! ARGH!" Sophie stormed out of the confessional.

~~End Confessional~~

"Well that's a wrap! Who'll go next time? What's in sto-" Chris was cut off again. This time it was Chuck.

"Will there even be a next time, Chris?! The Networks threatening to cancel us if we don't make the episodes faster!"

"Shut up, you stupid intern! The cameras are rolling! Cut it! Cut. It!" Chris shouted at Chuck.

A/N: Well. This chapter's over. I'm really, really, REALLY sorry for not getting out sooner. I know I said I was bringing this back but - truth is, school, laziness, depression and procrastination have all gotten the better of me. It wasn't until today, 11/17/18 that I realized I should finish this chapter. I'll try to get another chapter out before the end of the month. If I don't, then this story is probably dead. (As well as my other one, which I haven't even started the second chapter for.) I'd really like to finish this so that I can see how a community receives it, after all, being an Author may or may not be one of my fallback plans for the possibility that my dream-career fails. All in all, I hope this does not affect anybodies opinions of me - although I don't blame you if it would, this story is almost a year old and isn't even close to done. Also, the formatting error with Episode 5 was fixed sometime between that chapter's release and now. Most likely in September.

Anyways: Questions!

1) Was this chapter decent?

2) Who do you think will go next?

3) Am I still getting your characters right? If not, how can I improve them?

4) Was this elimination a shocker?

and finally

5) Who are your three winner picks?
