BaconBaka's Bites: Woo! It's December! It's the holidays! In either case, here's a School Scuffle chapter right outta the oven! Let's see how the campers can grow themselves back to their original heights.

Honey… Can we grow back, now?


The Krew


Currently, the three members were riding on Pinkie, as they were discussing on how to save their fellow teammate.

"Okay, we have a Maltese dog camping out that mouse hole, and Lance is still stuck inside that mouse hole…" Verna said out loud. "Any suggestions on how we can distract that mutt?"

"Perhaps a giant steak is in order?" Stella suggested. "Or a bone?"

"Oh, perfect. We can always toss it a treat of some kind." Verna responded back. "Now the real kicker is that we're about the size of a Jol- a toy. How are we suppose to fork over a treat over to Fido over there?"

"Well, it doesn't have to be a giant steak..." Stella said out loud.

Drake looked around, as he noticed a bag. He quickly directed Pinkie towards said treat bag, and parked his kitten as he leaped off it, and ran towards the bag. He started to push at it, trying to get it to tip over.

"Ugh..." Drake grunted, as Stella hopped off Pinkie and started to push as well.

The bag soon fell over, spilling a few of its contents all over the floor.

"Seriously, you think that may had distracted the dog." Stella said out loud.

Drake took a glance in the bag itself, and walked inside. He soon exited, carrying a rather large doggy treat, as well as…

"Who knew that treat bags carried prizes?" Drake asked, holding the second of their devices.

"Now, back towards Lance!" Stella exclaimed. "Hang on, help's coming!"


Back with Lance, he was still hiding from the dog.

"Oh, I ain't going out there!" Lance said to himself, shaking his head, as he looked at some nearby mice, who were giving him a confused look. "You are just as confused and frightened as I am, huh?"

The mice looked at Lance, almost understanding him.

"Lance!"

Lance recognized that voice. "Stella?"

"Lance! We're gonna distract the dog! Once he leaves the hole, you run out, and jump on Pinkie!" Stella instructed.

"I'm not sure how that'll work, but okay!" Lance yelled back.

"Okay… Boy! CATCH!" Stella yelled out loud, as the dog who was looking in the mouse hole ran off.

Lance didn't waste any time running out of the mouse hole, and back onto Pinkie's back, as he tried to catch a few breaths.

"Phew… I haven't… Ran this fast… Since my school… Done a musical production of Chariots of Fire…" Lance panted.

"Is it that movie about the runner? And that overused theme used for slow-mo running sequences?" Verna asked.

"Don't ask… How they made… A musical outta that." Lance answered back.

"Anyways, where to now?" Stella asked.

"Isn't it clearly obvious? We got the second of that dorky piece; all we need to do is find the final piece, and then we're back to our normal height." Verna answered back.

"But where could it even be?" Stella asked.

"Damned if I knew… I was in a mouse hole the entire time." Lance answered back.

"...I may have an idea." Drake said out loud.

"Then lead the way, Drake!" Verna replied back.


Confessional: He's gonna lead them to water, is he?

Drake: ...Ever since I 'tamed' Pinkie… I got a bit more confident… Also, is this the first challenge where I… led it?

Lance: Man, that Maltese dog is some scary stuff! And he's part of the Toy Group from what I learned from Stella! One can only imagine if I ran across a Great Dane or some mutt like that...


The Oddities


With Sting, he was currently on the make-up table without a shirt, as Diana was displaying him a couple dresses.

"How about the formal look? Or the party look?" Diana asked.

Sting was looking around the make-up table and snuck something behind his back, as he looked at the two dresses.

"The… party look?" Sting asked.

"Yay!" Diana cheered as she stuffed Sting into the dress. "Now, it's time to go home to your husband..."

Sting looked over at Diana. "Er… Have you been reading your mom's saucy yaoi novels?"

"Nope!" Diana denied back, as the two reached the dollhouse, where Benny was waiting.

"So… How goes it?" Benny asked, with a piece of their device near where he was standing.

"Well, she skipped the make-up part… But the dress part?" Sting continued.

"If it'll make you feel any better, that dress does bring out the inner thighs within." Benny joked.

Sting blushed in embarrassment.

"But now, we gotta find a way to snag that third piece off of Diana." Benny continued. "I guess it's up to Korpse and Marion."

"You know what else we need?" Diana asked, looking down at the two boys.

"A need to bring back Lunchables Burgers?" Benny questioned back. "Along with the soda, health nuts be danged?"

"Er, weren't those things capable of giving you the runs?" Sting asked.

"We need a LOVE TRIANGLE!" Diana shouted out in glee. "Now where's that one girl..."

Her eyes soon went wide, as she started to make her leave.

"Gotta use the bathroom; be right back!" Diana sung out, as she left the bedroom. Once she was out of earshot, the two boys approached the edge of the dollhouse.

"Marion! Korpse!" Sting yelled out loud.

Both Korpse and Marion appeared at the edge of their table.

"We need to find some way to take out Diana!" Benny said out loud. "But what can we use?"

Sting looked around the room, as he noticed the posters on the walls. An idea soon crept up to him.

"I've got an idea..." Sting said out loud, as he looked towards Korpse's direction. "Korpse! Turn on the radio and turn it to KRUSH 13.66!"

"That metal station?" Korpse asked.

"It may be a silly idea, but it may just work..." Marion nodded in agreement.

Korpse and Marion turned on the radio, and started to change the dial, as…

The door swung open.

"I'm BBBBAAAACCKKK!" Diana yelled out loud, as she made a beeline towards Korpse, picking her up.

"Marion! It's all up to you!" Korpse said, as Marion was left on his own.

"This IS karma for sending out Hanami against Hydregion!" Marion muttered to himself, as he quickly shook off the fear. "No… My friends need my help."

He started to turn the knobs on the radio, as some tunes started to play.

A J-Pop melody started to play…

"While it is a good song, now isn't the time..." Marion said to himself, as he turned the knob again.

A rap tune started to play.

"Changing THAT real quick..." Marion continued, as he turned the knob again.

Some metal music started to play. Marion sported a grin.

"Time to thrash, Diana..." Marion muttered, as he turned the volume up real high.

Diana looked at the radio, with wide eyes.

"That Rusty guy? Not real music… THIS is real music! ...Somewhat." Marion declared.

Diana was stunned by the sudden blast of metal music, that she fainted on the floor on the spot. Marion soon turned down the volume, as he looked over at Diana.

"Oops." Marion said to himself.

Over at the dollhouse, the three campers also looked at the fainted, sorta-kaiju six year old.

"He… Killed her." Sting muttered.

"Nah, she'll be out cold for a while. She's not used to heavy metal." Korpse confirmed. "But now we've got clearance to grab that piece around her neck."

"But the question is… How do we get down to her?" Benny asked.

Korpse looked around the room again, and noticed a rather large teddy bear that was sitting next to the table housing the dollhouse.

"Who's up for some reverse rock climbing?" Korpse asked. "Only... In a softer sorta format?"


Confessional: That's gotta be the fluffiest rock ever...

Korpse: Hey, had to find some way down. Else… That be one long drop.

Benny: Score! Just one more piece to go! Things are really looking up now!

Marion: Okay, maybe she's not dead? Still, how do I even get down from here?


The Dorks


Both Pomona and Marissa were observing the chocolate fountain, pretty closely. Karen was nearby, in case they had to go to another area of the room.

"Okay, with our luck, one of the pieces to our device has to be inside this chocolate fountain." Pomona said out loud.

"Yeah, even I gotta agree; they often tend to hide treasures in the most out-of-place areas in most RPGs." Marissa added.

Taking a nearby toothpick, Pomona used it to try to feel for the piece of the device, and…

"We hit paydirt!" Pomona said out loud with a grin. "Now all we gotta do is pull this thing outta this yummy chocolately soup!"

Marissa nodded, as she looked at Karen. "Karen, have any tweezers on you?"

Karen dug into her skirt's pockets, and gave off a shrug. "No, 'fraid not."

Pomona nodded, as she knew what she had to do. She rolled up her undershirt's sleeve, and dug her arm into the chocolate, pulling out…

"And we have device number Dos!" Pomona announced.

"Alright! One more device, and once Yentoulis assembles it, then we're back to giant street!" Marissa grinned, giving off a fist bump to Pomona… On the hand coated with chocolate.

Pomona gave off a chuckle. "Whoops… I think I should wipe my arm clean first..."

"Hey, how about your two buddies that's near that wicked stereo system?" Karen asked, as she noticed the tiny Nelson and Yentoulis heading towards there.

"Oh, Nelson and Mr. Y?" Pomona asked. "Yeeeaahh, we kinda directed them over there, so as to warn those two boys about the beer they brought."

Karen couldn't help but chuckle.

"Oh… That was beer alright… But in the 'root' kinda fashion." Karen corrected.

Both Pomona and Marissa blinked.

"All this time… They had ROOT beer?" Pomona asked.

"You think we would be allowed to drink? I think not." Karen answered back.

"Think we should tell Nelson and Yento the truth?" Marissa asked.

"Yeeeaahh, before they get totally embarrassed..." Karen agreed, as the two tiny teenage girls hopped back onto Karen's hand, and the kind-hearted punk girl made her way towards the stereo.


With Nelson and Yentoulis, the two were near the stereo, having found a way in.

"Okay, so all we gotta do is get inside this thing, work the wires around, and jerry-rig this thing into a microphone." Yentoulis said out loud.

"Yeah; cause booze can cause all sorts of problems." Nelson answered back.

Yentoulis grew silent. "...Don't I know it."

"Either way, I found the entrance inside one of the speakers!" Nelson said out loud, as he pulled out what appeared to be the piece of their device. "I also found this!"

Yentoulis nodded. "Perfect; here's hoping the girls had luck finding a piece. But now… It's time to give these teens a lesson that any Afterschool TV Special would teach them, if they were still around."

The smart nerd soon entered the stereo speaker, as Karen approached, with Marissa and Pomona in tow.

"Hey, Nel!" Pomona said with a smile. "Look… You may wanna have Yentoulis… Well, ease up on his plan."

"Hm? What do you mean?" Nelson asked.

Pomona whispered what the cans actually were, as Nelson's cheeks blushed red.

"Ooooooopppss..." Nelson muttered.

"Yeah; we may wanna warn him before he sets his plan in motion." Marissa suggested.

Nelson nodded, as the three were about to enter the stereo's speaker, as…

"AHEM!"

The music stopped, and the giant teenagers looked around to see where that voice was coming from.

"This… Is your grandfather from beyond the grave." Yentoulis' voice boomed out from the speakers. "This is a message to you two holding the cans of what is resembling an alcoholic beverage."

The two boys looked at each other.

"Er, gramps?" One of the boys started to say out loud.

"Did you know that consuming too much alcoholic beverages can really mess up your liver?" Yentoulis' voice boomed out. "And if you start early, it can be difficult to quit?"

"Er, earth to gramps?" The second boy interrupted. "This isn't alcohol."

"Then what is it?" Yentoulis' voice asked.

"It's… root beer." The second boy confirmed, revealing the true contents of the can. "Like, while we do use actual beer, we don't drink it; at all. It's mainly for cooking and such. Ever tried beer battered fries?"

"We're only members of the Cooking Club at school, dude." The first boy replied back. "We had some extra root beer as an ingredient for that righteous root beer float cake we made. We also made root beer cookies. So I thought we would share some of our remaining cans to everyone."

"So get your facts straight before you accuse anyone else of false accusations next time, dude." The second male instructed. "For sure."

Yentoulis was silent, as he then switched the wires back to their original positions, and exited the speaker.

"...How can I be so naive?" Yentoulis asked.

"Hey, it was a surprise to me, too." Nelson answered back. "Whoops."

"Let's get this thing assembled with." Yentoulis suggested, looking at the three pieces of the device that should help them regrow back to their original heights.

The three agreed, as they started to assemble their device.


Confessional: Nelson said it best.

Nelson: Yeah, perhaps I should do some more research before any of us accuse anyone of what they didn't do…

Yentoulis: -He is shaking his head, as Pomona was nearby, comforting him-


The Wannabees


The team was walking around, as they were just observing the local foliage. Between the time they were talking about their families to now, they managed to find another piece of their device.

"Who knew that Chris thought ahead and hid that device in a mud puddle?" Isabel asked Maureen, who was covered with mud.

"Eh, it's Chris. We're just lucky that he didn't hide all of this crap in toxic waste." Maureen answered back.

"Yeah, that would be real bad, dudes. We ALL know what happened to Dakota back on Revenge." Mozart said out loud.

"Hey, check this out!" Liang yelled out loud.

"If it's another dead bug..." Isabel muttered.

"No, it ain't just that..." Liang continued.

The three looked at each other, as they went towards Liang's direction…

There were several dead bugs, each with their carcasses drained of their fluids, strowned around the ground.

"Liang!" Isabel yelled back, seeming wanting to slap Liang on the back of his head.

"Hey, I didn't state that it was just one dead bug." Liang responded back.

"Well, you got me there..." Isabel agreed.

Maureen got closer to one of the dead bugs, as she examined it.

"Huh… Looks like puncture marks." Maureen noted, as Isabel looked up…

"Maureen! WATCH OUT!" Isabel yelled out, as she ran towards and dove at Maureen, as what appeared to be a web barely missed the two.

Maureen coughed as she looked at Isabel.

"Thanks, Izz." Maureen thanked back, as she looked up. "But we're in trouble now."

Isabel looked up to see what appeared to be a giant spider, on a rather large web above leering down at the two.

"HSSSSSSS..." The spider hissed at the two.

Not too far, Mozart and Liang were looking up at the spider.

"Dude, that is all sorts of gnarly..." Mozart exclaimed out loud, as he noticed something above.

In its web, appeared to be a piece of their device.

"Okay, that is all sorts of weak..." Liang sighed.

Back with Maureen and Isabel, they were back on their feet, as the spider turned its attention towards the two girls.

"Okay, this is WAY outta my jurisdiction." Maureen noted.

Isabel observed the spider closely, as she gave a look over to Mozart.

"Mozart! Pass over my pill bug!" Isabel yelled out.

Mozart raised an eyebrow, as he held the dead bug up. "Why?"

"Just do it!" Isabel yelled back.

Mozart did as instructed and tossed the pill bug over towards Isabel. The Soccer Player soon started to kick the pill bug ball as she glared at the spider.

"Hey, you! Size doesn't mean a damn thing! And you will learn this lesson right here, right now!" Isabel yelled out at the spider. "GLITTER! SPARKLE! SSSSSSHHHHHOOOOOTTTTTTT!"

Isabel licked the dead, rolled up bug as hard as she could at the spider's head, as it lodged itself between the two pinchers of its mouth.

"Nice!" Isabel exclaimed, pumping her fists.

"Er, it's a temporary solution, dudette." Mozart warned back. "It's gotta chow down on its guts sooner or later."

"Really? Hardcore!" Liang exclaimed, as he realized something. "I mean, on the bug; not on the girls!"

He soon backed off, as Mozart raised an eyebrow.

"What an odd dude..." Mozart muttered.

Meanwhile, Isabel looked at the spider, whose jaws were still lodged with the pill bug in between.

"Yeeeaahh, I don't think there's any penalty kick for this one..." Isabel noted, as she picked Maureen up…

SLASH!

The spider was pinned to the ground via a thrown nail. It squealed in pain, before it finally curled its legs together, dying.

Mozart looked to see Liang, panting a bit, as he looked at the inventor.

"What? I figured I should do at least one good deed this year, and this was it." Liang gave off a shrug.

"So… How do we get that device from that webbing?" Maureen asked.

At that exact moment, the piece of the device dropped from the webbing, right in front of the four.

"...Well, looks like we won't need to stack each of us on top of each other after all..." Mozart confirmed.

"Talk about convenient..." Isabel nodded.

"That was a sick throw I did, right?" Liang questioned out loud.


Confessional: Nailed it!

Liang: Perhaps I should sign up for the Olympics? ...Naaaaahhh…


Back with Chris, he was sporting a wide grin, as he looked at the camera.

"It's coming down to the home stretch! Three of our four teams have gotten the pieces of their devices together! Now it comes down to assembling it..."

One of the screens flashed a green hue…

"And one of our teams have grown back to their original size, and that team is…" Chris began to say…


The Oddities


In Diana's bedroom, Korpse, Benny, and Sting were back to their original size.

"Whew… Who knew that you knew a lot about devices like this?" Benny asked.

"Eh, I learned a lot from my bud Virus-Skanner." Korpse answered back.

"Hey, wait… How about Marion? We kept him on the dresser when we regrew..." Sting said out loud.

"Yeah, can you help me out, please?" The still small Marion asked from the dresser.

Suddenly, Korpse's phone rang, as she answered it.

"Oddities! Congrats! You're the winners of this challenge!" Chris announced.

"Yes!" Benny pumped his fists in triumph.

"...Is what I would love to say, but you forgot to resize Marion. Therefore, you do get second place however." Chris continued.

Korpse shrugged. "Eh, at least we got second."

"Then… Who won?" Sting asked.


The Dorks


All of the party goers were stunned to see four teenagers suddenly grow right in front of their eyes.

"Dude… Are you seeing this?" The Cooking Club member asked his friend.

"Yeah, I don't believe it..." The friend responded back.

The contestants looked at the party-goers, as Pomona gave off a shrug.

"What? You ever seen four teenagers that were minifig sized grow to human size before?" Pomona asked, as her phone rang. "Hello?"

"Dorks! Congrats on winning the challenge!" Chris announced out loud, as everyone started to cheer out loud.

"Score!" Nelson exclaimed.

Yentoulis only gave off a simple nod, trying to avoid eye contact with the two Cooking Club males.

"Awesome!" Marissa cheered out loud.

Karen approached the team, and held out her hand, shaking Pomona and Marissa's hands.

"Congrats on the win, you four!" Karen said out loud.

"And thanks for the assist." Marissa replied back.

"You know… You look worthy enough for Total Drama. Wanna give it a go for next season?" Pomona offered.

Karen gave off a smile. "I'll give it some thought. Would they accept someone with an awesome 'do like mine?"

Pomona smiled back. "Yeah, they would."

"Wait… Then, who got third?" Nelson asked.


The Wannabees


The team was also back to being fully grown, as they looked down at the garden they were in. Liang picked up the spider he impaled with the nail he hurled.

"Keeping this dead bad boy as a trophy." Liang gave off a grin, as a seagull swooped down and grabbed it from him. "Aww, weak..."


Challenge Beach, 2:30pm


Everyone was standing at their mats, awaiting for the Krew to be carried towards there.

"So, their final piece of that growing device was between the couch cushions?" Sting asked.

"You betchya!" Chris answered back, as Ada returned, holding the four teammates, still on top of Pinkie. She placed them on their team's mat, as the four hopped off their kitten. Drake went towards the kitten.

"Pinkie? We gotta… Disembark for a moment." Drake said to the kitten. "Don't worry; we'll be back shortly..."

"Mew?" Pinkie meowed, as Ada picked the kitten up, as she started up the device, with the intent of regrowing the team…

"Hold on to your butts..." Lance said out loud.

"After today… I would gladly sit on mine." Verna confirmed.

"Readying regrowing process in three… Two… One… Fire!" Ada said, as she flipped a few switches, and…

ZAAAAPPP!

The previously four shrunken campers suddenly grew in size, back to their original heights. They all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whew! Height! Glorious, tall height!" Lance cheered out loud.

Drake gave off a gentle smile. "I'll never talk bad about my height ever again..."

"Mew?"

Drake looked down to see Pinkie, having hopped off Ada's arms and was looking up at the now tall teenager.

"I think someone likes you..." Isabel said, giving off a smile.

Drake picked up Pinkie, and held her close, petting it on the head.

"Guess you're part of the Krew now, huh?" Drake said out loud.

Chris gave off a sigh. "Okay, Drake can keep the kitten. Besides, can we imagine how many viewers we would get if we advertised a kitten?"

"Hey! You four!"

Chris looked to see Diana, who… Had a change of wardrobe. She was now looking almost like a rock star, with her face painted almost like a KISS member.

"Thanks to you, I found my new favorite genre!" Diana exclaimed.

Korpse gave off a chuckle. "Hehehe… Glad to help you out, Diana!"

Marion also giggled a bit. "Perhaps that plan worked a bit too well..."

"You five Dork dudes!"

Everyone on the Dorks looked at the two Cooking Club boys.

"You kick some major butt for us, okay?" The first boy said out loud.

"And if you wanna know all about our awesome recipes, well..." The second boy added, as he tossed Nelson a piece of paper. "Try the Mountain Dew cookies; they're really excellent!"

Nelson only gave off a nod.


Confessional: Cooking is so fun…

Nelson: Mountain Dew cookies? Do they exist? ...Apparently, they found a way to make them do.


Ada's Trailer, 3:30pm


Gyan moaned, as he slowly got up. He opened his eyes to see Ada, sitting in the chair nearby him.

"Uuurrrggghhh… What happened?" Gyan asked, as he looked around the neon-colored trailer. "Where am I?"

"Someone's back to Earth, yo." Ada gave off a gentle smile.

"Still… The first thing I remember is taking that test, and..." Gyan continued, as he gulped. "Crap… The TEST!"

He was about to run out the door, as Ada spoke up.

"Er… I think I may have caused you to fail your test, yo." Ada admitted. "Sorry."

Gyan paled, seemingly in fear.

"Oh, crap..." Gyan gulped. "Not good… NOT GOOD."

Ada knew that Gyan was about to panic, so she got up, and gave him a gentle hug.

"Gyan, just listen..." Ada said out loud. "That test… Look; it just isn't worth it. I mean, I scrolled through it, and there are questions that even I couldn't even solve. I think even the late Stephen Hawking himself would had difficulties, and he was, like, uber smart, yo. And those two people who were on that webcam… They were seriously bad news..."

Gyan just stood there, silently.

"They… I am not sure what to say..." Gyan said out loud. "I mean, what can I say?"

"Look, just say the word, and I promise I'll do my best to put a stop to their party." Ada reassured. "If you can even call that a party."

Gyan looked at Ada, as he sighed.

"You can try… But it be an impossible task..." Gyan responded back.

"Oh, nothing is impossible, yo." Ada answered back. "But as for now, you're spending the rest of the afternoon with me; rest that tired brain of yours."

Gyan only stood there.

"Now, let's go; you must be majorally hungry, yo. I think there must still be some leftover food from that Challenge earlier." Ada said with a grin.

Gyan nodded. "Potato chips and dip? I'm in."


Dork's Camp – 4:30pm


Inside their RV trailer, Marissa came out of the shower, having cleaned any additional dip out of her hair and off her body.

"Whew… Word of advice? Mixing together two shampoos works wonders with chip dip in your hair." Marissa suggested.

"And noted, M." Pomona nodded back.

"Welp, your turn!" Marissa said with a smile.

Pomona gave off a grin, as she entered the shower. But a thought suddenly hit Marissa.

Suddenly, Marissa got to her knees, and peeked under the bathroom door, where she had a clear view of Pomona's feet and ankles. From there, Marissa could make out what she saw earlier more clearly…

Two female symbols, colored pink and purple, and seemingly conjoined together, was indeed tattooed on Pomona's right ankle.

Marissa gave off a sweet smile. "Huh… Guess you're one of us."

"One of what?"

"GAH!" A suddenly surprised Marissa yelped out, as she looked up to see Nelson standing there. "Nel, don't surprise me like that!"

"Sorry. But I wanna ask…" Nelson replied back. "...Why are you peeking into the showers like that? Besides… All you'll see are feet if anyone's in there."

Marissa shook her head. "Silly Nel… I wasn't eyeing their feet. I was eyeing their ankles."

"Ohhh..." Nelson said, as he smiled. "Well, if you have a love for ankles, then that's perfectly fine by me."

Marissa chuckled, as she gently started to push Nelson out the door.

"Say… I think Korpse wants to talk to you?" Marissa asked. "Something about… I dunno. Fried chicken?"

"But she's over at the Oddities Camp." Nelson replied back.

"All the more reason to talk to her!" Marissa continued, as Nelson was indeed out the door. Not too soon after…

"Subject Marissa seems embarrassed. Perhaps it has to do with Subject Pomona taking a shower and whistling The Hustle?" GENKI asked, floating near Marissa…


Outside, the RV door opened, and GENKI was lobbed out as well. She managed to catch herself and floated near Nelson.

"So… You embarrassed Marissa too, huh?" Nelson asked the floating robot.


The Krew – 5:00pm


Outside their cabin, Drake was sitting under his usual spot, as Pinkie laid next to him. He gave off a smile at the kitten, as he sketched on his sketchpad, as Stella approached him.

"Hey, Drake!" Stella said cheerfully.

Drake gave off a smile. "Hey, Stella..."

"So… What kinda drawing adventure you're embarking on this time?" Stella asked.

Drake gave off a smile. "Well… I kinda got inspired during today's challenge, and..."

Drake presented Stella his sketchbook, and she observed the drawing.

It appeared to be a group of four, with a giant kitten behind them.

"It's an idea of mine; it involves four tweens about the size of a minifig, and they go on giant adventures… Quite fitting, being their entire world is giant." Drake explained.

Stella gave off a smile. "That sounds like an interesting idea. What brought that on?"

"Well… I think we could use some good cartoons which inspire creativity and bring fourth friendship a lot..." Drake answered back. "Trust me, I saw my fair share of some pretty… Crappy cartoons. Stuff I wouldn't even recommend to my worst enemy… It's why I wanna become a cartoon creator; I wanna do a good for everyone. Boys and girls, moms and dads, brothers and sisters, cats and dogs… I wanna wow them all with my creations."

Stella nodded back. "You got some pretty huge dreams, huh?"

Drake gave off a smile as…

SNAP!

The two of them looked up to see Verna, staring down at them. Pinkie looked up as well.

"Hey, lovebirds. I am heading off to the woods for a few hours." Verna said out loud. "Don't allow anyone to disturb me. Got it?"

Drake nodded in fear, as Verna made her leave.

"Drake, you gotta learn to stand up to her; you can't let her boss you around." Stella suggested.

"I know. But… I just feel so..." Drake responded back.

"Nervous? I know. But you're doing great so far." Stella said out loud. "And you even managed to score a kitten out of today's challenge as well."

Drake could only smile slightly as he looked down at his new pet.

"Yeah… I should let her know how I really feel..." Drake replied back.

"That's the ticket!" Stella said with a smile. "Now… Tell me about those four..."

"Well..." Drake began to say.


The Oddities – 5:15pm


In the living room, Korpse and Nelson were playing a game on the TV, all while on a nearby table, a shrunken down Marion was busy carving out a wooden figurine of Cherri. Benny and Sting were watching the temporary small teen.

"You know, being this tiny isn't that bad..." Marion admitted. "At least it's easier to add details to these figurines now."

He done some more carving, as a thought hit him.

"Er, if any of you saw Cherri before she got booted… How many piercings did she even have in her ears?"

"Oh, about 15." Sting answered back. "And those were only hoops. I think she had 3 studs also in her ear..."

Marion sighed. "Ho boy..."

"Be lucky she didn't have her tattoos exposed, from what I heard, she has about 8… Rumored to be 10." Benny said out loud.

Marion looked like he was about to faint on the spot. "Yeah, thank God for that."

With Nelson and Korpse, the two of them cheered and gave each other a high five.

"Yeah! Knew we could do it!" Nelson exclaimed.

"Man, that was wicked..." Korpse replied back. "You're quite the natural, huh?"

"Yeah, been playing this stuff since I was young. It's helped me out during my toughest times." Nelson said out loud.

"Tough times?" Korpse asked.

Nelson looked up at the ceiling. "...Yeah… Let's chalk it up to family stuff going on."

"Oh… Wanna talk about it?" Korpse asked.

Nelson shook his head. "Nah, I'm good for now."

Korpse nodded. "Well, when you are good and ready, then I'm willing to listen to you."


The Wannabees – 5:30pm


Isabel was currently practicing her penalty kicks with her soccer ball, as Maureen was a temporary Goalie.

"Okay, find an opening; you can do it!" Maureen coached out loud.

Isabel nodded, as she managed to kick the ball pass Maureen right into the goal.

"You make this too easy..." Isabel responded back.

"What do you expect; I don't play sports!" Maureen laughed back. "Sure, I would get on Legends with my little bro if that ever gets a revival. Maybe that's when I would get more athletic?"

"Then… Guess I shouldn't subject you to the Glitter Sparkle Shot, huh?" Isabel concluded.

Maureen blinked. "Glitter… Whatz-it?"

"Oh, the Glitter Sparkle Shot. Just a technique I stol- er, learned from some old pals of mine." Isabel excused.

"Old pals?" Maureen asked. "Perhaps they would like a day at the beach?"

"...They're not beach people; messes with their highlights." Isabel answered back. "But you're a beach person; how is your hair still its bluest?"

"You just gotta find the right hair dye, Izz." Maureen gave off a wink. "So… What more info should I know about those pals of yours, huh?"

"...The less said, the better." Isabel answered back. "Otherwise, you would probably be boarding up your windows once they were done."

"But we only do that for hurricanes, and being that they barely sneak up north..." Maureen responded. "Why hang out with them?"

"I dunno… Cause they were, I dunno… Cute?" Isabel asked.

Maureen smiled. "Now we're getting somewhere..."

Isabel froze in place. "And you… also cute?"

She then picked up her soccer ball.

"Gotta go!" Isabel excused, as she ran off.

Maureen only looked where Isabel once stood as…

"So, Isabel's a lesbian?"

Maureen knew that voice well.

"Liang? Sidestep four paces to your right." Maureen requested without looking at him.

Liang done so, as…

WHOOOSSSHH!

The prankster was now hanging upside down by the ankles via a rope trap, as Maureen looked at him.

"Look here, bud. We needn't any homophobic crap coming from you. Got it?" Maureen ordered.

"Eh, whatever. I ain't homophobic anyway. Besides, how else can I find two chicks kissing to be hot?" Liang responded back.

"I know of a school of barracuda not too far from here; I think they be thrilled to have some Liang Lunch-" Maureen threatened.

"Yeesh, I'll drop it..." Liang grumbled. "Stupid predatory aquatic animals..."

"But now… We need a way to pair Isabel up with… Well, someone else. I'm straight." Maureen said out loud.

"Can't you do any bi-experimenting or something?" Liang asked. "Please all the Maubel shippers out there?"

"Eh, did that in my first year of Marine Tech. Totally straight." Maureen shrugged. "Now listen..."

"Like I have a choice in the manner; still hanging here..." Liang replied back, as he crossed his arms.


Confessional: A plan is in action!

Maureen: Wait… Maubel? ...I prefer Isareen, to be honest.

Liang: Eh, I agreed to her plans, if just to watch two girls make out. They kiss, and I get to witness it. Win-Win!


Central Station – 8:30pm


The sun was slowly setting in the west, as Ada was behind her DJ station. Gyan was nearby, with a bottle of soda nearby.

"So… You gonna enjoy your soda, yo?" Ada asked.

"I dunno..." Gyan replied back.

"Hey, those bozos in black's not watching us right now." Ada comforted. "So… Go ahead!"

Gyan nodded, as he observed the drink. "Huh… Green. Almost like your hair."

Ada couldn't help but blush as she patted one of her pigtails.

Gyan then decided to open the drink and consume some of the soda. He let out a smile.

"Huh… Kinda good." Gyan gave off a smile. "And so was that food from earlier."

"Believe me, I am gonna let your mind rest before the summer is over, yo! Besides, aren't you smart enough?" Ada asked.

Gyan gave off a shrug. "Yeah, probably."


Over at the party itself, everyone attending was having a good time…

"Come on, Drake! All you gotta do is swing your butt in a swaying fashion!" Stella taught to Drake.

Drake couldn't help but bop his shoulders.

Pinkie was nearby, as she also swung her tail in a rhythm-like fashion.

"...Or do that; you're dancing now!" Stella sported a grin. "To an extent, but still!"

Drake smiled back at Stella. "Perhaps..."

Nelson and Korpse were also dancing in front of each other, each trying to show off any dance moves they had.

With Sting, he was bopping his head, as he decided to do a bit of a breakdance. Once he was done, he rose back to his feet and posed.

"Heh, still got it." Sting said to himself.

"Wow, who knew there were break-dancing emos on this isle?"

Sting looked behind himself to see Maureen approaching him.

"Oh, hey Maureen." Sting greeted.

"Methinks it's time to watch some true dancing?" Maureen asked, as she started to do a bit of dancing herself, while she looked over her shoulder.

"Come on, Izz..."


Not too far from the party, Isabel was observing the party, as her heart raced.

"Crap… How do I do this?" Isabel asked.

"Do what, babe?"

Isabel looked behind her to see Mozart standing there, munching on a pizza. Woodstock was perched on his shoulder.

"Well, go out there and dance. In front of a girl." Isabel answered back. "I think she may be using Sting to make me jealous of him."

"Then… Just go out there and dance anyway? I'm sure she may notice your awesome body." Mozart replied back.

Isabel nodded and was about to head off to the dance floor, as she noticed that Pomona's joined in with the dancing, even though she was dancing solo. She gave off a grimace.

"Ugh, Pomona…" Isabel moaned.

"What's up with her?" Mozart asked.

"She… Kinda got a bit nosy earlier." Isabel answered. "And..."

"Eh, then just apologize to her?" Mozart asked.

"...Yeah, I should had been more patient." Isabel admitted.

"Then snap to it, dudette." Mozart suggested. "As for me, me and Woodstock's gonna hang by the snack table."

"SQUEAK!" Woodstock squeaked out loud.

Isabel nodded, as she went to the dance floor and approached Pomona, who was swinging her arms in the air.

"Hey, Isabel. 'Sup?" Pomona asked.

"Hey. Wanted to apologize for before. Even if you were being nosy, you didn't deserve to be yelled at..." Isabel said out loud.

"Eh, it's cool." Pomona replied back. "Apology accepted. Annnnnddd… I should apologize too; I should had left well enough alone."

Isabel gave off a smile. "I accept. Besides, you only wanted to help out."

"And I promise, I'll try to stay outta your personal business." Pomona declared.

Back with Ada, Liang popped up in front of her, and grinned.

"Hey, I heard that Gyan challenged you to a belching contest." Liang said out loud.

Ada gave off a grin. "Oh, really? Then I gotta attend this challenge, yo!"

She soon patted her turntable, and left it unattended, as Liang looked at the music tracks that was set in place.

"Romantic background music to cause teenagers to suddenly dance together romantically?" Liang asked himself. "That's an album? Eh."

He pressed the button as the previous dance jam switched over to the romantic soundtrack. Almost instantaneously, everyone who was dancing near someone suddenly took to their shoulders and started to dance together.

"Wow… Didn't think that would actually work." Liang said to himself, raising an eyebrow.

"BBBBBUUURRRPP!"

"And THAT's just for starters." Ada complimented out loud.


Within seconds of the changing of the songs, Drake and Stella, Nelson and Korpse, and Sting and Maureen were dancing together in a slow song kind of fashion. Both Pomona and Isabel looked at each other.

"So… You want this dance?" Pomona asked, offering Isabel her hand.

Isabel looked longingly at Maureen, before taking Pomona's hand. The two started to dance slowly to the music, though their bodies were a tad apart.

Maureen, noticing that, separated from Sting, did a bit of a twirl towards the two slow dancers, and inched the two of them closer, before joining back together with Sting.

Sting couldn't help but smile at Maureen. "Heh, nice job."

"Eh, I did just what came natural." Maureen answered back.

Drake and Stella noticed the two girls dancing together, and sported a sweet smile each.

Korpse and Nelson noticed Pomona and Isabel together and also smiled at the two, before going back to their dancing.

With Pomona and Isabel, it looked like they were having the time of their lives.

"You know, even though we're on rival teams… You're one awesome soccer player." Pomona whispered to Isabel.

"And you're one cute girl, to boot." Isabel also whispered to Pomona.

"Eh, I get called that a lot." Pomona said out loud.

The two continued to dance throughout the slow song, enjoying each other's presence…


At the snack table, Mozart looked over at Isabel dancing with Pomona, and gave off a smile.

"Nice job, dudette..." Mozart said to himself, as he offered Woodstock some food.


Confessional: What a happy ending…

Isabel: Was I concerned that I was dancing with another girl? Well… Yeah. But she was just so cute! Wishing I was dancing with Maureen though, but Pomona's awesome and cute as well! -She suddenly realized something- ...The heck's going on with me?

Pomona: Best night ever. And maybe I helped Isabel discover something about herself. Win-Win!

Liang: Eh, so they didn't kiss as I hoped. Still, two girls dancing? Not too bad for a night's work.


Chris was on Challenge Beach, ready to give out the outro to the episode.

"And so, our campers are fully grown and nobody went home tonight! But next episode will not be as kind. What will happen next time? Will Isabel know something about herself? What's the deal with her and Ellis still? What of Drake's cat, Pinkie? And who will be the next one thrown off the island? Stay tuned and find out, next time! On..."

"Total!"

"Drama!"

"SCHOOL SCUFFLE!"

BBBBUUUUURRRRRPPPP!

"Whoa, way to outburp me, yo!" Ada complimented from far off.


?- 9:00pm


Both Ellis and Marissa were in the woods, as they partook in a bit of LARPing.

"Hark! A dragon is inching closer to you, fair Wizard Marissa!" Ellis warned.

"No matter; I shall take it down with one of my secret spells!" Marissa replied back. "You best stand back; this could take a lotta mana to preform."

Marissa got in position, as she hopped backwards, not noticing the embankment behind her…

"Marissa!" Ellis yelled out loud, running towards his friend.

"WHOA!" Marissa screamed, as she fell from where she stood, and started to tumble down an embankment. She soon slowed down as she was at the bottom of said embankment.

"Marissa?" Ellis yelled from above. "You okay? Marissa?"

Once she recovered from that trip, she saw a faint light coming from somewhere. She followed it and when she did… She couldn't believe her eyes…

Verna was sitting under a tree, with her jewelry removed from her body. Her blonde hair was somehow unattached to her hair, as she was now sporting black hair, with some purple highlights in said hair. At the current moment, Verna was engrossed in a game on a 3DS.

Suddenly, Verna looked up from her game to see Marissa standing there. She raised an eyebrow.

"Er… hi?" Marissa greeted herself.


And this episode is complete! Yeah, it may had taken a while to slog through, but this challenge is done like dinner! And yeah, I know it was non-elimination. But I promise you, I don't have that many in this season. Next episode is business as usual.

And yeah, ending on a bit of a cliffhanger... But hey, nobody is in any life-threatening danger, right?

NEXT TIME: We're skipping school! Try not to get caught, hooky, line, and sinker!

BaconBaka OUT!
