Matt and Nolan
Matt looked around. "Hey, dude, do you see one of those pieces things around anywhere?"
Nolan shrugged. "Nope. Nowhere. I can't believe how hard it could be to find one!"
Matt nodded. "Exactly! Maybe I can see it if I climb up that tree!"
"Well, just be careful, dude! I don't want to have to carry your sorry ass back if you get hurt!"
Laughing, Matt replied, "Come on, dude! Have a little fun!"
Before Nolan could tell Matt that he had lots of fun, Matt crashed down from the tree. Running over to him, Nolan said, "What did I say, dude!"
Matt jumped up and covered Nolan's mouth. "Shut up, dude!" he whispered. "Some of the Wild Monkeys are over there!"
"You think that we should spy on them?" Nolan whispered back.
Before Matt could respond, Nolan grinned. "Good plan, man!"
Jenna, Lil JJ, and Alex
"And ANOTHER thing!" Lil JJ exclaimed. "I am just so much more good-looking then him!"
Jenna sighed. "Yes. Thank you, Lil JJ, for the eighty-seven reasons why you're better for Tonia then Nate is."
Alex smirked. Lil JJ's desire could be very beneficial to him. "Listen, Lil JJ," he began, "Normally I wouldn't take sides in an argument like this. But you've convinced me that Tonia does belong with you."
Lil JJ nodded enthusiastically. "Exactly! You see what I'm talking 'bout?"
"Yes, Lil JJ. We should work together to help you with this goal – get rid of Nate, or at least, get rid of Tonia. If one of them wasn't here, Nate couldn't get his hands on her."
"Wait," Lil JJ said, frowning. "If I vote off Tonia, how would I get with her?"
"Playa de Losers, of course!"
Nodding, Lil JJ said, "Cool. So you're suggesting an alliance?"
Alex nodded. "Yes, friend. Now run ahead and make sure we're good."
When he was out of earshot, Jenna pointed at Alex. "What are you doing?"
"Well," he began, pushing her finger away, "I'm a very goal-oriented person. He could help me, and I do need an alliance member since you are clearly not interested."
Jenna rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Let's just keep going, okay?"
She started following Lil JJ. Alex was about to follow when he noticed something in the bushes – a slab of stone. "Hmm, could this perhaps be a piece of our symbol?" Turning it over he saw a piece that was unmistakably part of a penguin. "Well, a penguin symbol? Not necessary for me, but it could help make them lose!" He quickly slipped the slab into his pocket and ran after his teammates.
Matt and Nolan stepped out from a clearing. "Dude! He's cheating!" Matt exclaimed.
As the two began to run after him, Nolan shook his head. "No, he's not cheating. He's just playing the game."
Dimitrix, Cassidy, and Danny
As Danny came running over to them, Dimi rolled her eyes. "So much for distracting the prettyboy."
Danny grinned. "Did my best. Any luck?"
Cassidy shook her head. "Those pieces could be anywhere."
The waves rolled back and forth on the beach in front of them. Danny sighed. "We should keep going."
As they started moving again, Dimi stopped. She pointed at something on the beach. "Guys! That's a piece!"
"Yes!" Danny said, fist in the air.
Cassidy shook her head. "Hate to be the bearer of bad news… not really, though… but it's going out to sea. Tide took it."
The three exchanged a look before frantically running after it.
Tonia and Nate
"Uh, Nate," Tonia asked as she moved slowly through the kitchen, "Are you sure we should've sneaked in here?"
Nate gave her one of his famous grins. "Come on, angel. Aren't you a daredevil?"
Tonia blushed. "A little. But what if we get caught?"
"Hey, Chris would do anything to ruin us," Nate said, shrugging. "I don't think it's above him to hide one of the pieces in here – Aha!"
Running over to him, Tonia asked, "Did you find it?"
Nate showed her a cake dish with a cake on it. "Yep."
Tonia was puzzled. "Nate, that's a cake."
He stuck his hand into the cake and pulled out a piece with part of a monkey carved into it. "A cake with a special monkey in the center, maybe."
"Awesome! Let's get this back to the cabins!" Tonia exclaimed, running out of the kitchen.
Nate called after her, "Whatever you say, sugar!"
Chris and Chef
"Chef," Chris whined, "Where are they? It shouldn't be taking this long!"
Chef grunted. "Maybe they got dead or something."
Chris grinned at the thought. "Dude, that would make killer ratings!"
Lil JJ, Jenna, and Alex
"We're never going to find that freaking piece!" Jenna whined, stomping her foot.
Alex wagged a finger at her. "You mean 'those freaking pieces'. Correct grammar, Jenna!"
"You're just trying to piss me off, right?"
Lil JJ pointed at a tree. "Yo, dudes! There's a monkey slab all the way up that tree!"
Before one of them could climb up and grab it, Matt swung up there from a vine. "Ha!" he called out, waving the piece at them. "Take this! Payback!" Then he swung on to the next tree with his vine.
Nolan came running by. He smiled and said, "Payback's a bitch, right, Alex?" He then ran off after Matt.
Jenna glared at Alex. "What the hell did you do!"
"I, uh, may have stolen one of their pieces…" Alex admitted.
"WHAT!"
"Yeah, but we should really get our piece back first, right?"
Lil JJ rolled his eyes. "And I though that I had problems!"
Cassidy, Dimitrix, and Danny
"Stroke, stroke, stroke!" Dimitrix called. They'd 'borrowed' a raft from the dock and were desperately trying to catch up with the piece that had been dragged out to sea.
"Whatever you say, sergeant Courtney," Danny muttered.
"HURRY! IT IS GETTING AWAY!" she screeched.
Cassidy sighed. "We're trying! Why don't you give it a shot?"
"GRR!" Dimi growled. "Too slow!"
She dived into the water and began swimming after the slab.
Danny shrugged. "Better her then us, right?"
"WHO TOLD YOU TO STOP!" came Dimi's screech.
As they began rowing again, Cassidy punched Danny. "Just had to say something, didn't you?"
Chris and Chef
Chef pointed in the distance. "Look, there are some maggots!"
Chris nodded. "And here come some other prisoners!"
Greggory and Julia came panting forward. "Here's our piece!"
Dakota and Samantha came after them. "We got our piece too!"
Chris nodded. "All right, it looks like the Freezing Penguins and Wild Monkeys are tied at one part each. Who will arrive next?"
It was Nate and Tonia. "Here you go, Chris," Nate said, handing him the slab.
Chris was surprised. "How'd you find this?"
Tonia giggled. "It was a piece of cake!"
While Chris rolled his eyes, Danny and Cassidy came running forward with Dimi behind them, hitting the ground with an oar. "HURRY! I do NOT want to lose because of you two!"
Danny grinned, throwing the slab at Chris as they passed. "There you go, host."
Cassidy nodded. "We can stop running now, right?"
Dimi growled. "No!"
Danny muttered, "Why do I befriend the crazy people?"
Cassidy punched his arm. "Same question I asked as I was falling off a cliff."
Dakota exclaimed, "EVERYONE, LOOK!"
Matt and Nolan were running forward with Alex, Jenna, and Lil JJ hot on their trails. The two Freezing Penguins quickly hid behind Chef. Chef grunted and moved away.
Before Jenna could attack the thieves, Chris clapped. "Congratulations, Freezing Penguins! Let me see your winning piece!"
As Matt reluctantly handed it over, Chris laughed. "Dude, this is a Wild Monkey symbol!"
"Uh… so?" Matt asked.
"So you just lost the challenge, dudes! This piece is three for the Wild Monkeys!"
Chris turned to Nate, Lil JJ, Julia, Tonia, Jenna, Greggory, and Alex. "Wild Monkeys, you guys have won the first challenge!"
He then turned to Dimitrix, Samantha, Nolan, Danny, Dakota, Matt, and Cassidy. "Freezing Penguins, you guys have LOST the first challenge! I'll see you at the campfire pit later tonight where you will be voting someone off of Total! Drama! Recast!"
Okay! If you are a Freezing Penguin, please PM me your vote by tonight! I hope to put up the elimination chapter today, so please get those votes in A.S.A.P.! If you need to, leave it in a review, but I'd prefer a PM!
And if you feel that your character doesn't get enough screen time, feel free to add their own confessional in a review!
