A/N: Woot woot! That took forever, didn't it? Anyway, here is the next drama-filled chapter. Enjoy!


Last time on Total Drama: Happily Ever After, our contestants played a very 'friendly' game of Truth or Dare, earning themselves enough hair to climb to the top of Princess Rapunzel's towers. We learned that Nakayla has an anger issue, Joe can be supremely devious, and that half of the cast hsa crushes on people. Who knew? In the end, Team Tinkerbell won the challenge and Team Thunder sent Mark home, after his unorthodox personality changes. Who will leave Faretopia? What will become of our contestants? Find out right here...right now...on Total...Drama...Happily Ever After!

(Theme Song)


"Psst. Anders. Wake up."

"AHH! WHAT THE HEL—"

Chrissie clamped a hand over the boy's mouth, and after he realized it was her, they slowly crept out together.

"Chrissie!" Anders hissed. "What was that?"

"Sorry," she said. "I had to talk to you."

"Now?! It's…." he looked around, but there were no clocks to be found. "Er, really late."

"Really early," Chrissie corrected. "It's the morning."

"That's even worse! What do you want to talk about?"

She looked both ways, before whispering, "Joe."

Anders frowned. "Yeah, I've been meaning to tell you for a while, that guy is bad. Like, really bad."

"I know. That's why I want to vote him off."

...

"So, what do you think of Sara?" Brent asked Nakayla nonchalantly.

She frowned. "She's okay. Why?"

He shrugged. "I don't know."

(static)

Nakayla: "What does he mean, I don't know? There's something up."

(static)

"Do you think about her a lot?" Nakayla tried to sound casual.

"Sometimes."

"That's not creepy at all."

"No, I mean...she's pretty cool, don't you think?"

"Whatever. That purple hair, though."

"I think it's cool."

"You think everything is cool."

(static)

Brent: "I don't know. I've just found it much easier to argue with Nakayla lately. And for some reason, this whole Jordan-Sara thing is bothering me."

(static)

"Do you think my purple hair is weird?" Sara asked Jordan that morning.

"Why would it be weird?" Jordan was digging through his bag.

She shrugged. "I don't know. Just a thought."

"I like the color purple."

"Really?"

"Sure. It's better than red."

"Like Joe's eyes?"

"Yeah. Like Joe's eyes."

…...

"How are we going to vote him off?" Anders said worriedly. "Both of us are already in an alliance with him, which leaves Logan and Valentina.

"Simple," Chrissie said. "All we have to do is get into an alliance with them two secretly, and then all four of us can vote him off."

"Easier said than done," Anders said. "He never leaves us alone!"

"Well, knowing Chris, we'll get an opportunity very soon." She smiled deviously.

…...

Amanda was sitting at the dining table early that morning, thinking things over.

"Worried about something?" A voice came from behind her.

She turned to see Lzzy, examining her cuticles.

Amanda scoffed. "No. Why?"

"It's so early and you're sitting downstairs. What's up?"

"Nothing."

(static)

Amanda: "Actually, it's everything. From Emma back at home to Zachery and the challenges ARGH! I hate everything about this show! But it'll be worth it when I win."

(static)

Lzzy: (still examining cuticles) "It's obvious she's jealous of me and Zachery. I don't really like him, but I love watching other people suffer!"

(static)

"I'M JUST SO ANGRY!" Sam kicked a pillow off of his bed. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!?"

"Hey, Sam." Jordan said, cautiously approaching him. "Are you okay?"

"DO I LOOK OKAY?"

"Just calm down, buddy."

"I'M COMPLETELY CALM!"

"Er, maybe you should start with lowering your voice."

"IT SOUNDS PERFECTLY LOW TO ME!"

"Why don't you tell me what's wrong? Like, you know, soft enough so everyone else doesn't hear it."

"It's Chrissie! Agh, I knew everyone was evil in this world! They hate me! They all do!"

"I don't hate you," Jordan said, plopping down on his bed.

"You're just saying that because I'm angry."

"No, I'm not. I'm sure Chrissie's just going through a phase. And so are you. It'll get better. Trust me. Still angry?"

"Yeah."

"Less than before?"

"I guess."

(static)

Jordan: "Wow. Since when did I become a therapist?"

(static)

"CHALLENGE TIME, SUCKERS!" Chris's voice blared through the speakers. "MEET ME IN THE FIELDS IN FIVE!"

All three teams raced down there, eventually panting. Chef was fanning Chris with a large leaf.

"Wonderful. Now, there is only one part to this challenge, so get it right! One person from each team will stay above ground, and the rest of you will go down into the caves. You will reach a crystal cavern, and you need to pick up a crystal in your team color. That crystal will unlock a door some ways down, and past those doors is a humongous tree, filled with delicious apples and poison ones. Grab one apple, then climb back above ground and feed it to your teammate. Then, run past the finish line to win. Keep in mind, going through another team's door will have dire consequences, as will not feeding the right teammate the right apple. Now, choose your teammates!"

"I'll stay above ground," Nakayla offered on Team Magic.

"Why?" Brent asked.

"Why not?"

"It just seems weird."

"What is your problem?"

"I don't know, maybe you're just overreacting about my curiosity."

"I'm the one overreacting?"

"Guys, break it up." Sara shoved them both apart. "Nakayla will stay up here, and that's that. Any objections?"

Nobody said anything.

"Good."

On Team Tinkerbell…

"How about Logan stays up?" Joe offered. "He's good at...er...eating apples?"

"How about you stay up, Joe?" Chrissie asked with sparkling eyes.

"Yeah," Anders said, imitating her. "You'll be good at forcing down apples, even if they are poisoned."

(static)

Anders: "Pfft. Not that I'd mind feeding him a poison apple. That guy's a monster!"

(static)

"I'll stay up," Amanda offered on Team Thunder.

"Sure," Rosetta said. "Sounds good."

But Zachery was frowning at her.

(static)

Zachery: "Why did she...huh?"

(static)

Amanda: "Time to test this guy's loyalty."

(static)

So Joe, Amanda and Nakayla stood in the fields, while the rest of the other teams took their places at the mouth of the caves.

"On your marks…" Chris said. "Get set...GO!"

And they all ran inside.

"Hurry!" Sam urged his team. "We have to be first!"

(static)

Sam: "I've pretty much given up all hope for Chrissie. She's been hanging out with that Anders guy a lot. So I've decided to focus on the reason I came here: to win."

(static)

Meanwhile, Chrissie was staring at him longingly. She sighed as her team ran towards the crystal caverns.

(static)

Chrissie: "This isn't fair. Sam is just ignoring me, and I still have no idea who his crush is. I know he has one, because he hit his buzzer during the 'in love' question from the last challenge. Who knows, it could be anyone! He isn't really paying attention to anybody! But I'll just have to focus on creating an alliance with Logan and Valentina."

(static)

Logan sighed. "Ah. Lzzy. Isn't she amazing?"

Valentina shrugged. "I don't know. She's okay."

"She's just so pretty, and so nice…"

"She isn't that nice, Logan. Focus on winning."

"That's what I'm doing! What are you doing?"

(static)

Valentina: (sighs)

(static)

"So, Zachery," Lzzy batted her eyelashes at him as Team Thunder ran. "How do I look?"

"Er, you look fine." Zachery tried to keep his distance from the girl.

"I have a question for you." She winked at him. "Do you like Amanda?"

"UM, I don't know," he said distractedly. "Er, do you like her?"

Lzzy frowned. "What?"

"Look, I'm sorry, it's just...we kind of have a rocky relationship."

Team Magic was the first to arrive at the crystal caverns. It was full of shimmering silver crystals.

"It's beautiful," Sara said. "Now we just have to find a purple one."

(static)

Sara: "Like my hair! WOOT WOOT!"

(static)

Team Tinkerbell made it there next, followed closely by Team Thunder.

"Quick, find a green one!" Valentina said, quickly scouring the ground.

"Hey, Logan," Anders said. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure," Logan said. "What is it?"

"I was wondering...do you want to get in on an alliance with me and Chrissie?"

"What?! No way! You guys are with Joe and I HATE that guy! Even more than Doctor Hurt!"

Anders leaned in and whispered to him. "We were thinking of voting him off."

"What?! Really?"

Anders nodded.

"Well…"

(static)

Logan: "I'm not a stupid person, so I know Anders could be tricking me. But he somehow doesn't seem to be a deceptive person. I'll have to see how trustworthy he is before joining this alliance."

(static)

"Hey, Valentina." Chrissie began searching the floor with the other girl.

"Hey, Chrissie," Valentina said, pushing some white crystals away.

"So I was thinking...you and me are already in an alliance...right?"

"Yeah. I also know you're in an alliance with Joe."

"That's fake. Anders and I were thinking that if him, me, you and Logan voted off Joe, our team would me much better off. You in?"

"Of course I'm in!" Valentina wrapped her friend in a hug. "It's a genius plan!"

"FOUND IT!" Brent yelled from Team Magic. His teammates were too busy searching to see him holding up a purple crystal.

(static)

Brent: "I don't like Jordan one bit. A little friendly sabotage couldn't hurt, could it?"

(static)

"Hey, Sara!" Brent called. The girl stood up to look at him. "Catch!"

He threw her the crystal, but Jordan stood up at the last second and it hit his head instead.

Sara gasped and clapped her hands over her mouth as Jordan fell to the ground with a grunt. Then she turned angrily to Brent. "You did that on purpose!"

"What?" Brent batted his eyelashes. "Whatever do you mean?"

"Got it!" Valentina held up their team's green crystal and Team Tinkerbell ran on. Team Thunder found their yellow crystal shortly after, and they ran along too.

"Great!" Sam said. "Now we have to carry him!"

"I'll do it," Brent said.

"NO!" Sara glared at him. "Sam and I will do it, thank you very much!"

So Sara grabbed Jordan's arms, and Sam grabbed his legs, and they slowly trundled on.

(static)

Brent: "This is actually pretty good. If Jordan doesn't wake up in time, he'll be going home! But if he does wake up in time, then I can vote off Sara or Nakayla, whoever's most annoying! Perfect!"

(static)

Team Tinkerbell had made it to their door. It was green and embedded in rock.

"Hurry!" Chrissie said to Anders. "Put the crystal in it!"

Anders stuck it in the large keyhole, and the door hummed and swung open. They all ran through.

Team Thunder appeared not long after, and entered their door. And finally, Team Magic came in. Sara and Sam were holding up Jordan, and Brent was strolling along, whistling. They opened their door and went through.

"Which apple should we pick?" Anders gazed at the huge tree filled with shining apples that could somehow live inside of the cave.

"Hmm…" Logan walked up to the tree and climbed up onto some of the branches. "They all look the same. But they smell different. Some are sweet and some are sour."

"Just pick a sour one. The sweet ones are probably poisoned." Valentina called up to him.

(static)

Logan: "Hmm. Smart."

(static)

"Here, let me pick one," Zachery ran up to the tree and plucked off a small, bright red apple.

(static)

Zachery: "Don't ask me how I know, but I think Amanda will like this one."

(static)

"Brent! Go pick one for your girlfriend!" Sara snapped angrily at him as they reached the tree. Brent casually walked forward, picked off the closest one, and continued strolling toward the exit.

(static)

Sara: "Grr! How can he be so infuriating?"

(static)

Brent: "I love being infuriating."

(static)

Team Tinkerbell exited the cave first. Logan ran up to Joe and threw him the apple. Joe bit into it and gagged. "Ergh, it's so sour!"

"Is it poisoned?" Anders asked hopefully.

"Well, am I dead? THEN NO! LET'S GO!"

Team Thunder and Magic got out of the caves at the same time, but Lzzy tripped on a rock on the way out. Zachery stopped and caught her.

Lzzy sighed dramatically. "My hero. I am injured. You must carry me to the finish line."

Zachery sighed, scooped her up, and Team Thunder continued running towards Amanda.

As Team Magic reached Nakayla, Jordan started to stir. Sam and Sara put him on the ground and Brent tossed Nakayla the apple.

As she quickly ate it, Sara whispered to her, "He's the one who knocked out Jordan! Can you believe it?"

Nakayla's eyes widened, but she didn't say anything.

Amanda narrowed her eyes as Team Thunder got closer to her.

(static)

Amanda: "Why is Zachery carrying Lzzy? Just curious. Not clingy-curious."

(static)

"Here," Zachery tossed Amanda the apple with his free hand, and she quickly bit into it. The moment she did, though, her eyes rolled back into her head and she fell towards the ground with a sigh.

Zachery tried to drop Lzzy and catchAmanda, but Ricardo beat him to it. He picked her up, and said, "Come on, we have to make it to the finish!" So Zachery scooped up Lzzy again and Team Thunder ran to the finish.

Team Magic was slower, because Jordan was now limping along, in a daze. They crossed the finish line last.

"Oooh! Team Tinkerbell comes in first, Thunder in second, and Magic in third! Team Magic, I will see you on the chopping block!"

…...

That night, all of the teams were gathered at the campfire, but only Team magic was sitting on the logs. Jordan was still in a daze, and Sara and Nakayla were sitting next to each other, glaring at Brent. Sam was just looking at the ground.

"Team Magic," Chris said. "It's time for you to vote."

(static)

Brent: "Jordan's gone for sure. He was passed out the whole entire time!"

(static)

Sara: "Oh, I know who's out!"

(static)

Nakayla: (sighs) "Yeah."

(static)

"And the votes are in!" Chris looked up to the sky. "Chef, blast 'em out for us! The people who are safe are..."

"Brent! You're on the chopping block for being an annoying git. Jordan, you're on the chopping block for not doing anything. At all. And the last person who is safe is…"

Jordan

"Sorry, Brent, buddy, you've been voted off."

"Are you kidding me?" Brent glared at them. "Why?"

"You tried to kill Jordan and barely helped us the whole time!" Sara stared daggers at him.

"And you've become so annoying!" Nakayla said angrily.

"And other stuff!" Sam added.

So, grumbling, Brent walked toward the firework launcher and stepped in.

"You'll be sorry!" He yelled as he was shot away.

"I doubt that," Chris said. "Anyway, now to our previous contestant voting! The final contestants that have been chosen are going to be shown on this screen." He gestured to a large screen Chef was rolling towards him. On it were the names:

Heather

Geoff

Ezekiel

Duncan

Scott

Dawn

Ella

Lindsay

Courtney

Mike

Zoey

Lightning

Dakota

"Now, this time, each of you can only vote for ONE of the people listed on this screen. So get voting!"


That night, Chrissie and Anders celebrated outside. They were drinking root beer floats from the winning cabin fridge, and were laughing and talking by firelight. Sam from Team Magic was watching them from his bedroom window, sighing.

(static)

Sam: (sighs) "This isn't fair. Tonight, I'm going to go and talk to her."

(static)

So Sam made his way across his bedroom, and as he was about to take a step down the stairs, a shadow crossed in front of him.

"Not so fast, buddy."

"Jordan? You're awake?"

"You bet I am."

"Er, you look kind of different…" Sam looked at Jordan awkwardly. Jordan had dark circles under his eyes, and his voice was deeper than usual.

"Do I? I think I look the same."

(static)

Jordan: (New York accent) "It's been so long since I've come out." (laughter) "Jordan may have forgotten all about me, but I still live on the depths of his soul. I'm the real one. Not Jordan. Name's Josh. I know everything that's happened. And things are about to get a lot more crazy here. All I have to do is act like Jordan until I win the million. Then I don't have to live undercover anymore. (evil laughter)

(static)

"You know, Sam," Jordan said, putting an arm around the Latino. "I don't think Chrissie likes you."

"Really? Why not?"

"Don't you know? She's been hanging out with Anders a lot. It's obvious she likes him."

"Um...I don't know…"

"Why don't we chat about it over some ice cream? Come." Jordan started down the stairs, and Sam followed.

Sara was just coming up the stairs. "What's up, guys?"

"Out of the way," Jordan pushed her aside, and she almost toppled over the railing.

"Why don't you watch where you're going, or you'll find yourself in a whole lot of pain!"

(static)

Sara: "I didn't really mean that. I just didn't know that guys pushed their girlfriends over stair railings. Huh. Jordan must be drowsy from his hit to the head."

(static)

"WAKE UP!"

"OPEN SESAME!"

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

"That's the killing curse, you idiot!"

"Oops. Sorry."

Team Thunder was trying to get Amanda to wake up, but to no avail.

(static)

Zachery: "This is all my fault. If I had picked another apple, Amanda wouldn't be asleep. Dang, she's going to hate me when she wakes up."

(static)

"Hey, Logan." On Team Tinkerbell, Joe walked up to Logan, who was standing against a statue of Chris. "What's up?"

"Hello, Joe." Logan narrowed his eyes. "What are you doing here?"

Joe made a pouting face. "Is it a crime to speak to my fellow teammate?" In one swift motion, he grabbed the front of Logan's shirt and lifted him up off the ground. "You know something I don't. Spill."

"I-know-nothing!" Logan gritted his teeth and tried to kick away from Joe.

Joe rolled his eyes. "Well, that's true. Anyway, tell me what is happening around here."

"Never!" Logan said.

(static)

Logan: "Number one rule of anything-never tell the bad guy what he wants to know. He probably won't kill you anyway."

(static)

"Fine, then." Joe threw the other boy back, and he hit the wall behind the statue, opening a secret door. "I'll just keep you here till you let me know."


Back in the monitor room, Chris was laughing. "Whoa! There's some crazy stuff happening here! Will Logan survive Joe's wrath? Will Amanda wake up? What is Josh going to do? And will Chrissie and Anders's plan work? Find out next time on Total...Drama...Happily Ever After!"


A/N: So, what did you think of that chapter? Let me know if you think your character needs to be shown more, or if I'm not playing him/her right. Also, many of you have requested a Fear Factor-esque challenge, and I promise you, that is coming up soon. Probably in the next one or two episodes. So, see you next time! Bie!
