Author's Note: Well, the results are in from your last poll. Out of who you wanted to see more of this season, Matthew took the lead, with Greta and Annie tied for second. Like I said, this won't influence the story itself, but so far Matthew and Annie have both already had quite a bit of screentime, and Greta is also starting to break out, so looks like I'm doing something right.

Anyways, there's another poll up. Let me know if you'd rather I update Total Drama ReAction or my new series Total Drama Stranded.

"Previously on Total Drama ReAction," Chris narrated. "The castmates were charged with curing a diseased body. But it wasn't an ordinary body and it wasn't an ordinary disease. Both teams had to travel inside of a mega model of a body with some robot germs that Bobby came up with. While the Comedy Cameos got along much better than the others, they ultimately lost due to some violent action they delivered to the body itself. And so, it was the Action Actors who won the reward, a night with Courtney…don't know if you can actually call that a reward, but Annie seemed pleased. Annie proved to be more paranoid than Eliot when she began to worry that Montana may be trying to steal Dirk away from. Here's where things get tricky, 'cause I'm pretty sure Annie and Montana already have boyfriends. Oh well, drama is drama, so keep watching Total Drama ReAction!"

(Theme Song Plays…)


(Dining Tent)

It was clear that tension was high at the Action Actors table. Dirk was sitting next to Montana, but Annie had made sure to shove herself right next to him. On the other side of the table, Sophie was glaring at all three of them. Dirk simply kept his eyes down and tried to eat his breakfast.

"So…we won last time," Dirk tried to make conversation. "That's got to feel good."

"We should feel satisfied if we win every challenge," Sophie sneered. "This had better not be a fluke."

"What are you saying? That I'm not good enough for you?" Annie snapped.

"If you were good enough for me, we'd have never lost once," Sophie declared.

"And you're sure that's not your fault, brilliant leader?" Annie retorted.

"People, people, please, if you can't get along, can you at least keep quiet?" Montana exclaimed.

"Yeah, I'm with Montana on this one," Dirk agreed.

"Of course you are," Annie said as she narrowed her eyes.

At this moment, Edward returned to the table with his tray of food. He noticed everyone staring at each other angrily and immediately turned around.

"I'll just find another table," he sighed.


Confessional:

Dirk-Ever since Annie got back from the reward she's been acting a little strange. I mean, there's nice Annie, angry Annie, and this new…suspicious Annie. I don't know what her deal is though, I thought a reward might cheer her up.

Annie-It's clear what's happening. Dirk is siding with Montana, I should have seen this coming. Once the three of us take out Sophie and Edward, he'll choose Montana over me and take her to the final two!

Edward-Pro: I'm no longer a prime target, con: our team is falling apart. If Sophie had just voted out Annie like I asked her so many times…ugh…


Meanwhile, the Comedy Cameos were having a much more enjoyable time at their table.

"Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure Chef used Kumquat in this," Greta mused as she sampled some of the slime Chef had served. "That or Star Fruit."

"Really?" Ethan exclaimed. "Star Fruit is the fruit of the stars, so naturally it makes for a good meal."

"Then I doubt there's any in here," Parry gagged. "This stuff is awful."

Lionel, meanwhile, had dragged Sooz to another table.

"Just had to get you alone, beautiful," he said as he lowered the hand holding a phone.

"Thanks….pitiful," Sooz replied. "But what would really be nice is if you'd leave me alone."

"But don't you want to discuss our new…alliance?" Lionel asked with a suggestive tone.

"We lose, we vote for Ethan, fair?" Sooz asked.

"I guess," Lionel said disappointed.

"Great, now go away," Sooz ordered. "I've got to focus, there's a Wikipedia article that needs citation, and I plan on finding it."


Confessional:

Lionel-Why do the girls here always play hard to get? I'm sexy, they should be all over me.

Sooz-I'm in an alliance, you can't say that I didn't strategize. Romance, though? Not with Lionel, that's for sure, his ego is bigger than the number of views on Justin Bieber's YouTube.


(Later)

"Castmates, welcome to your next challenge," Chris said as he stood outside a trailer.

The eleven contestants had finished their breakfast and crowded around where Chris was now standing. Annie was sure to stick close to Dirk, while Lionel was sure to stick close to Sooz.

"It's the horror challenge, isn't it?" Edward asked. "I remember that episode from the original run."

"Good memory," Chris complimented, "but no, we're doing something just a little different this time. Are you ready for this? The Twilight Challenge!"

There was a gap of silence as everyone just stared at Chris. It was broken simultaneously by Dirk and Parry.

"Yay!" Dirk cheered. "This is going to be sooo much fun."

"No!" Parry moaned. "Why are you doing this to us?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Chris said as he moved along. "So, as Stephanie Meyer so nicely explained, there is a food chain when it comes to monsters. The vampires eat the humans, the werewolves eat the vampires, and the humans eat the werewolves…after they shoot them with silver bullets."

"Are you sure it says that in the book?" Matthew asked.

"Look, it's hard coming up with a circular chain like that," Chris pouted. "Just go with it."

"Fine," Matthew sighed.

"As I was saying," the host continued. "For this challenge you will each choose to be one of the three. Behind me you'll see the costumes trailer. I want you to design the best costume for whatever you chose. And remember, there must be at least one of each per team. When you're done, I'll be judging them and the winning team gets an advantage in part two."

"Um, Chris, is Bobby usually here?" Greta asked.

"Ah yes, the intern," Chris remarked. "I figured we didn't really need him for this challenge so I sent him to do some work for Chef."


Confessional:

Dirk-I absolutely adore Twilight! And now we're designing Twilight costumes? I'm in heaven.

Parry-I loathe Twilight. I hate the characters, I hate the plot, I hate this stupid challenge!

Edward-Well, my name is already Edward, I wonder if that will give us an advantage.


(The Kitchen)

Bobby frantically chopped onions as Chef watched over him with a cleaver.

"Faster, put more life into it!" Chef ordered.

"I'm going, I'm going," Bobby insisted as he swept the chopped onions into a stew. "There, done."

"Now do the carrots, slave!" Chef commanded.

"I am not your slave," Bobby declared offended.

"Don't you dare talk out line like that!" Chef snapped. "Do I have to break out the whip?"

"No master," Bobby cowered as he quickly grabbed the carrot and began chopping.


(Costume Trailer)

"So, what does everyone want to be?" Dirk asked his team. "I know what I want to be, a vampire, because they sparkle and they're pretty and—"

"Well, I've always wanted to try being a werewolf, right," Montana said. "Seems like it's something I could handle."

"Good, good," Dirk said eagerly. "What about you, Sophie?"

"Pfft, vampires and humans are scrawny," Sophie scoffed. "So by default, I guess I'll be werewolf."

"I'll be human," Annie declared. "I'd rather not have to put on any scary outfits."

"That just leaves you, Edward," Dirk declared.

"I think I'll go with vampire," Edward said. "They seem to have a lot of class."

Meanwhile, the Comedy Cameos were going through the same process.

"I am not being anything stupid," Parry declared.

"But you'd make such a good vampire," Matthew insisted.

Parry just glared at him icily.

"Okay, shutting up now," Matthew replied.

"I'll be human," Parry declared.

"Well, I'm going to be werewolf," Lionel declared. "They're big and strong like me."

"And when they're human they never wear any shirts," Matthew added.

"That's also a plus," Lionel exclaimed.

"I'd better be human," Greta sighed. "I don't think any of those Halloween costumes are going to fit me."

"What about you, Ethan?" Matthew asked. "Vampire, werewolf, or human?"

"I want to be a human," Ethan replied. "Why would I want to be anything else?"

"So, that just leaves Sooz to be a vampire," Lionel declared. "Sounds hot."

"What was that, I wasn't listening," Sooz said as she looked up from her phone.

"You're a vampire," Matthew declared.

"'Kay, whatever," Sooz replied.

"Alright, castmates!" Chris announced. "If you've all decided what you're going as, you may enter the trailer and start working on your costumes."

"Eeeee!" Dirk exclaimed as he charged ahead of everyone and into the trailer.

The room was filled to the brim with various costume bits. Hats hung from the ceiling, shirts were strewn over tables, boxes were filled with accessories. There seemed to be no organization to the room, it was just a mess of clothes. This didn't deter Dirk though.

"Let's see, I'll take a little of this, some of that, ooh, one of these," he muttered eagerly as he grabbed whatever came into his reach.

The Comedy Cameos didn't have as much vigor as they searched through the room.

"I found some ears," Matthew declared as he put on a pair of dog ears. "They seem cute."

"Werewolves aren't supposed to be cute," Lionel scoffed. "They're supposed to be manly badass."

"Hey, Lionel, here's something you might want," Greta exclaimed as she pointed to some furry gloves.

"I'll take that," Dirk exclaimed as he added the gloves to his pile.

"Never mind," Greta sighed.

"Ooh, they've got glitter!" Dirk gasped. "I am so taking this."

By now the pile of accessories and clothes in his hands was twice as tall as he was.

"Hey, look what I found," Ethan exclaimed as he put on a rainbow afro. "I can finally have an outside that matches my inside."

He received a few quizzical glances, but no one protested.

"Yeah, only a human would wear that," Lionel remarked.

By now, Dirk had return to his team with his assortment of costumes.

"Okay, I'm going to need you all the sit down while I work on you," Dirk requested.

The four shrugged and sat down.

"Let's see, now," Dirk mumbled to himself. "Edward, you'll need these gloves. Annie, I think you should wear this bonnet. Sophie, I got you some 'paws.' Montana, since I gave Sophie the paws, you can have this tail."

The Comedy Cameos were still continuing to have trouble finding anything.

"Fangs! I got fangs!" Sooz cheered victoriously as she put the teeth in her mouth; then grimaced, "Probably should've washed these first."

"Parry, you've got to put something else on," Matthew commented.

"Why, I'm being human so I don't have to wear ridiculous costumes," Parry grumbled.

"But, the truth is, you look way more vampire than human right now," Matthew pointed out. "If you want to win points you'll have to dress like…a normal person."

Parry clearly did not like that idea, but he simply sighed, "Fine, I guess it's the only option."

Dirk meanwhile had moved onto makeup.

"Edward, you need some sparkles on your face," Dirk exclaimed as he began brushing the glitter all over Edward's cheeks. "And if you take your shirt off I can do your body too."

Edward just glared at him.

"Okay, that's not happening," Dirk conceded. "Sophie and Montana, I've got brown face paint for you, so I can design some wolf features…there, perfect. And Annie, I brought you this delightful shade of pink eye shadow that really complements your dress."

The Comedy Cameos were starting to come along now.

"I found a hat," Greta exclaimed as she put on a pilgrim's hat.

"I think this shirt matches my new hair," Ethan exclaimed as he held up a vibrant Hawaiian shirt.

"How do I look?" Parry asked as he stepped out wearing a brown shirt, a red tie, and blue pants.

"Eugh," Lionel exclaimed. "That is…disturbing."

"Says the boy who totally looks like a werewolf," Parry remarked as he gestured at Lionel's lack of costume.

"Hey, I'm working on it," Lionel argued. "If the other team hadn't stolen all the good stuff I'd be an epic werewolf right now."

"Does this stuff look vampire-y?" Sooz asked as she held up fishnet stockings, a black miniskirt, and a leather jacket. "I swear, it's the only black stuff I could find."

"We are so losing this," Parry remarked as he slapped his forehead in frustration.

"Capes!" Dirk exclaimed to his group. "Edward, I made sure to get a burgundy one for you since it goes super well with the rest of your outfit so far. Now hold still while I comb your hair back."

"Is all this necessary?" Edward asked. "Oh, I think you're pulling the roots out."

"No good vampire would go outside without perfectly groomed hair," Dirk exclaimed.

Matthew meanwhile had found some minutes and a snout that he could tape to his nose.

"How about this, Greta?" he asked as he held up a coat.

"Sorry, not gonna fit me," Greta replied. "Not unless it comes in extra, extra, extra large."

"I found some mascara," Sooz declared. "Vampires wore mascara, right?"

"Lionel, you need to find something," Parry said as Lionel was still as undressed as ever.

"There's nothing that works," Lionel complained.

"What do you guys think of these shoes?" Ethan asked as he held up a pair of clown shoes with bells on them.

"I'm pretty sure elf wasn't one of the options," Sooz remarked.

"And I'm pretty sure…drag queen wasn't one either," Parry replied as he looked Sooz over.

"Why couldn't you just be a vampire?" Sooz snapped. "That would make it so much easier on all of us."

"Guys, guys, calm down," Matthew exclaimed.

"Three minutes, castmates!" Chris exclaimed.

"D'oh," Lionel exclaimed as he banged his head against a beam. "Where am I supposed to find a fur coat in three—The floor!"

Lionel dropped to the ground and tore off a strip of the carpet.

"What are you doing?" Greta asked.

"This is my fur coat," Lionel declared as he wrapped the carpet around himself.


Confessional:

Parry-We seriously do not stand a chance at this. Looks like it's our turn for a losing streak.

Ethan-I think I'm missing one more thing…(puts on large, pink sunglasses) perfect.

Sooz-'A drag queen?' I don't look that bad do I?

Greta-Well you can't deny that I look human.

Dirk-Oh, I hope my team wins!


(Kitchen)

"I told you to tenderize that meat!" Chef barked.

"I did," Bobby insisted. "Look, it's tender."

"You call that tender?" Chef scoffed. "I wouldn't feet this to a caveman. Now use this."

He handed Bobby a large mallet. Bobby rolled his eyes and half-heartedly padded the meat.

"You know, this would be a lot easier if you just threw it in the microwave," Bobby said.

"No technology," Chef said evilly.

"No!" Bobby cried as he dropped down to his knees.


(Costume Trailer)

Chris had set up a catwalk outside of the costume trailer. Several lights surrounded the platform while Chris sat in a director's chair with a megaphone in hand.

"Okay, here's how it's going to work," Chris declared. "Each team will walk up one after another. I'll judge them based on a very complex criteria that I won't be getting into right now. First up, Action Actors!"

"Presenting," Dirk exclaimed. "The latest generation of Dracula!"

He stepped forward and onto the catwalk. He wore all black, which shined under the lights. His face glittered in all directions and his hair had been neatly combed to the back. He had a black cape which he draped over his arm.

"Very nice, very nice," Chris remarked. "Next."

"Presenting," Dirk announced, "The not-Cullen Edward."

Edward walked onto the catwalk gracefully. He was dressed in a deep red robe and a matching cape trailed behind him. Like Dirk his face sparkled and his hair was perfectly in line.

"Still good," Chris continued.

"Presenting," Dirk said for a third time, "Annie the Vampire Slayer."

Annie pranced up onto the stage. She had a bonnet on her head and much more makeup on her face. She no longer wore her dress but a much more revealing tank top and shorts. She held a prop pistol in her hand and aimed it at Chris.

"Bang!" she exclaimed.

"You're three for three so far," Chris declared.

"Presenting," Dirk said once again, "The She-Wolf."

Sophie marched onto the stage. She wore some wolf paws as gloves. Her face was painted to look like a snarling wolf.

"Grrr," she growled.

"Good, good," Chris remarked.

"And presenting," Dirk finished, "Uh…Montana."

Chris looked up disappointed.

"Hey, it's hard coming up with five different names," Dirk protested.

Montana bounded onto the stage happily. She had a wolf tail sticking out of her back and also had her face painted like a wolf.

"Well, I can see that you put a lot of effort into this," Chris declared. "But let's see if the Comedy Cameos can do better. First up!"

Lionel walked onto the stage with his carpet wrapped all over his body.

"Behold, I'm a sexy werewolf," he declared.

"Well, you do have a full body fur which the other team lacked," Chris remarked, "but really it looks like it was thrown together in two minutes."

"Three," Lionel corrected.

"Next," Chris called.

"Hello," Parry said as he walked onto the stage.

There was a never a more blatant contrast between a person and their clothes. Parry had ghoulish skin and black hair dyed with green. He was wearing an ordinary shirt and tie, with neat pants and boring shoes.

"Okay, I'm a little confused," Chris declared. "What exactly are you supposed to be?"

"I'm a human," Parry declared.

"Ha, not likely," Chris laughed.

"Hi Chris!" Greta exclaimed as she stepped onto the stage.

She was dressed exactly the same as always, except she wore a pilgrim's hat and holding a prop pistol.

"Greta, did you forget that this is a costume challenge," Chris scoffed.

"Nothing would fit me," Greta pouted.

"So?" Chris said. "Do what Lionel did and use the furniture as clothes. Next!"

Sooz walked onto the stage looking incredibly awkward. She wore a black leather jacket that was too big for her, a tight tube top, a black mini skirt, fishnet stockings, and high heels that were impossible to walk in. She had also overdone the mascara just a little.

"Okay, I'll admit I'm a little scared," Chris said. "But I don' t think it's for the reason you want."

"These fangs on making my gums bleed," Sooz complained as blood dripped over her fangs.

"Okay, you get bonus points for that," Chris declared. "And you're going to need all the points you can get. Up next, Ethan."

Ethan hopped onto the stage and presented his very colourful attire. He had a rainbow afro, pink sunglasses, a Hawaiian shirt, and clown shoes.

"I like it," Chris declared. "But I don't think it fits the theme."

Matthew was the final contestant to walk the catwalk. He had wolfear, a snout, and mittens for paws.

"Roar," he exclaimed.

"Cute," Chris remarked, "but not quite enough to win the challenge. No question about it, the winners are the Action Actors. And as such you'll get an advantage in part two."

"I can't believe we did it!" Dirk exclaimed as he looked like he might faint.

"I can," Edward sighed as he supported Dirk.

"Okay, guys, hope on the bus as we head down to the next part," Chris said. "Oh, and leave your costumes on."

"Can…someone give me…a hand?" Sooz exclaimed as she wobbled along in her heels.

"Here," Greta exclaimed as she helped Sooz onto the bus.

"Ah…I was just about to do that," Lionel exclaimed as he squeezed himself next to Sooz.

"Sure you were," Sooz scoffed.

She then pulled out her phone and began tapping on it.

"Ugh, somehow a photo of me in my costume ended up on Reddit," Sooz exclaimed.

"That was fast," Greta remarked.

"Actually, it was considerably slower than usual," Sooz replied.

"And we're off!" Chris exclaimed.

"Oh boy, I'm so excited," Dirk bounced in his seat. "Maybe we'll get to act out scenes from Twilight! Maybe we'll have to write our own alternate endings to Twilight! I wrote one once where Bella eloped with Jasper!"

Everyone was silent before Montana said, "That's great, Dirk."

"Yes, Dirk, great," Annie said forcefully.

"We're here!" Chris announced as they stopped outside what looked like a typical haunted house.

It was several stories tall and looked to be falling apart. Windows were broken, and rotting gargoyles stared downward from the roof.

"Like I was saying before," Chris said. "There's a sort of food chain going on with the monsters, and we're going to be turning that into a game of tag. If you are a werewolf you can tag out a vampire, if you are a vampire you can tag out a human, and if you are a human you can tag out a werewolf."

"Can we use these?" Greta asked as she held up her prop pistol.

"Sure, knock yourselves out," Chris answered. "Now, since the Action Actors won the first challenge, they'll get a head start to explore the haunted house, find hiding spots, and set traps. You have half an hour before I send the Comedy Cameos in. Go!"

The five man team charged into the house. They found that it immediately got darker inside. The interior was no better than the exterior. The floor had holes in it, dust collected everywhere, and the stairs were missing several steps.

"Here's what I'm thinking," Sophie declared. "Montana, you wait out in this room and try to take some of them out before they notice you. Edward, you stay downstairs and set a trap. Dirk, Annie, and I will take the upstairs. That way we'll have one of each type with us so we can overpower them no matter what they throw at us."

"I like it," Annie said.

"Well you can—Wait, you like it?" Sophie asked in surprise.


Confessional:

Dirk-Something is definitely off with Annie; she never agrees with Sophie. I'd like to be happy, but I've got a bad feeling.

Sophie-Huh, looks like Annie had finally come to respect my leadership. Took her long enough, but at least we should have less problems now.

Annie-I'll worry about Sophie later, right now I need to make sure that I find out the truth about Dirk and Montana.


Montana crawled up the wall. It proved to be quite easy when there were so many dents in the wood. She positioned herself on top of a mantle over the door and got as comfortable as possible.

Edward meanwhile explored the rooms on the bottom floor. He came into what looked like had once been a kitchen. It had a counter, with several cupboards falling off of their hinges. He searched the cupboards to see if he could fit inside any of them. Most of them were filled with shelves, but one had a large amount of face. He crawled in, but once there he noticed that the wall seemed to be a smooth crack in it. Experimentally he slid his hand into the crack and pushed. To his surprise the wall opened up.

"A secret passage?" he exclaimed. "This is perfect."

He crawled into the passage and found himself in a cozy, box of a room. He carefully slid the wall closed behind him, leaving just a crack to watch out of.

"Now to play the waiting game," he muttered to himself.

Sophie, Annie, and Dirk meanwhile had walked up the broken steps to the second story. Sophie was searching through the rooms to find the perfect place to wait. Annie dragged Dirk back to speak with him.

"Hey, Dirk there's something I've been meaning to ask you," Annie said.

"Oh…what's that, Annie?" Dirk asked warmly, but with a hint of unease.

"Okay, well, out of me and Montana which one do you like better?" Annie asked. "And you can be perfectly honest, Montana's not around and I promise not to get mad no matter what you say."

"Annie, that's a ridiculous question," Dirk laughed. "You and Montana are both my bestest friends. I'm not going to pick favorites."

"Oh…that's okay," Annie said with a smile.

"Don't worry about it, okay," Dirk said. "You've seemed a little stressed lately. I'm always here for you."

"Thanks, Dirky," Annie exclaimed.


Confessional:

Annie-He didn't say me! And Montana wasn't even around. It's clear that he'd much rather be with Montana. It's nice of him to try and save my feelings, but I can see right through him.


"Can't we get this over with already?" Lionel complained. "This carpet is itchy."

"Hey, you don't get to complain," Sooz exclaimed. "My gums are forming blisters and my legs feel like they're going to collapse at any minute. Not to mention, right now hundreds of people are laughing at me on Reddit."

"We're going to be fine, guys," Matthew insisted.

"What if we lose?" Greta exclaimed. "We'd have to vote someone out! And I was just getting to know all of you guys so well."

"Hey, we are not losing," Lionel declared. "That way I can keep my special lady safe."

He winked at Sooz.

"Oh, I feel like the belle of the ball," Sooz scoffed.

"Okay, guys, you can head in now," Chris declared. "Remember, the first team to be completely wiped out goes to elimination tonight."

"I'm sorry guys, I really don't want to vote for any of you," Greta sobbed.

"If you keep sobbing you'll make a pretty good reason for me to vote for you," Parry declared.

The six entered the house. Lionel took the lead while the others followed behind him. Montana from her perched eyed them. There was only one vampire in the group, which meant that she only had one target. She timed herself just right and leapt directly at Sooz. However, just at the right moment, Sooz stumbled over her heels and Montana rammed right into Lionel.

"Aha, trying to mess with my Alpha Female, are you?" Lionel exclaimed as he grabbed Montana. "I ought to maul you so much—"

"Lionel, why don't I just tag her?" Parry suggested as he tapped Montana on the shoulder. "Sorry, Montana."

"No worries, Parry," Montana replied. "I'm just glad that you're back to that go get'em attitude."

"Heh, yeah, whatever you say," Parry said with a smile.


Confessional:

Montana-I'll have to accept that Parry's never going to be happy-go-lucky, but he's making good progress so far.

Parry-Seeing Montana made me feel warm inside. It makes me want to try even harder to win…but then, I guess that would send her to elimination ceremony again.

Matthew-It's so nice to Parry and Montana together. They really go well together. It's a shame the teams split them apart.

Sooz-So now today I've been called a 'drag queen' and an 'Alpha Female.' Just wait until the TwitterVerse hears about this.


"I think we should split up," Lionel declared. "Four of us can head upstairs, the other two can take the ground floor."

"We'll need to divide up the different types," Parry said. "I'll take the bottom floor and the other humans, Greta and Ethan, can take the top floor."

"And I'll also go up with Sooz," Lionel declared.

"And that leaves me to take the downstairs with Parry," Matthew concluded.

The two groups split up. Sooz continued to wobble from side to side as she worked her way up the stairs.

"Time to get my sneaky style back on," Parry declared as he began sidling against a wall.

However he paused halfway through.

"Is everything okay?" Matthew asked.

"It's just that, it doesn't feel the same when I'm not wearing all black," Parry admitted.

"I'm sure it's just in your head," Matthew said. "You're very stealthy even in normal clothes."

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Parry said as he continued to slide along the wall.

However, he ended up bumping into a painting and knocking it to the ground with a large crash.

"That's not good," Parry sighed.

"Maybe the clothes do make a difference," Matthew noted.


Confessional:

Parry-Back on the island I could be pretty agile when I needed to be, but I just can't do that dressed like this.


Sophie, Annie and Dirk were hiding together in a bedroom. Sophie held the door open just a crack so she could see outside. They could hear the footsteps and voices of the others, but they had yet to walk past the door. That was until Ethan stumbled down the hall. He was easy to notice with his incredibly colourful outfit.

"Hello?" he called. "Anyone out there?"

"He's a human," Dirk remarked. "I can handle him."

"Wait," Sophie ordered. "Let's just see if anyone else is around."

They waited for a few more minutes, but they didn't hear or see any sign of the others.

"Okay, go!" Sophie ordered.

Dirk slid out the door and tapped Ethan on the back.

"You're out," he exclaimed.

"Surprise!" Greta shouted from behind him.

Suddenly Dirk was tackled to the ground by Lionel. The larger boy stood over him like a wolf cornering its prey.

"Grr," Lionel exclaimed.

"Okay, you got him out, no need to go into overkill," Sooz scoffed.

"Well, looks like I'm out of here," Dirk sighed as he stood up and made his way down the stairs.

"Dirky, wait, don't leave me!" Annie exclaimed as she chased after him.

"Annie, come back!" Sophie ordered. "I need you to take out this werewolf."

Annie, however, just followed after Dirk.

"Well, well, Sophie, looks like there's three of us and only one of you now," Lionel remarked. "Take her out, Greta."

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me," Sophie scoffed as she turned down the hall and ran.

Greta could only run a few meters before running out of breath and collapsing.

"We'll get her…next time," Greta said between breaths.

Meanwhile, Annie had followed Dirk down to the door.

"Annie, you'll be fine," Dirk said with a smile.

"But I want to stick with you," Annie pouted.

She tried to follow Dirk out the door, but Chris stopped her.

"Sorry, you've got to have been tagged before you can leave," Chris declared.

Annie grumbled, "Fine."


Confessional:

Sophie-I hate having to retreat, but it's all Annie's fault. If she had taken out Lionel, neither of those girls would have stood a chance against me.

Annie-Just think, right now Edward and Montana are spending time together without me. What if he asks her out? She'd dump Parry and that would just destroy the little guy. The only thing I can do is win this challenge to prove to Dirk how much I'm worth. It's all for the sake of Parry, after all.


Edward waited in his hiding spot. Eventually he heard the sound of someone entering the kitchen. It was Matthew. The small boy searched the room casually. He opened a couple cupboards then turned to leave.

"Now I got you," Edward whispered to himself.

However, when he tried to slide the wall open, it wouldn't budge.

"Come on, move!" he ordered.

He continued to push and shove with all his might, but it remained closed.

"Stuck?" Edward gasped. "Now how am I supposed to get out of here?"

He tried to remain calm as he pondered his next step. He failed.

"Let me out, let me out!" he yelled as he pounded on the side of the wall.


(Outside)

Those that had been eliminated already were relaxing outside. Ethan rested as he looked up at the sky. Montana and Dirk meanwhile we're sitting and talking.

"It's too bad that we're out so soon," Dirk sighed. "I was having fun."

"It's a shame, right," Montana agreed. "But I trust our other teammates to win for us."

"Right," Dirk agreed. "Say, have you noticed Annie acting a little strangely?"

"Hm…how do you mean?" Montana asked.

"Well, she's always had a temper, but something seems to be bothering her now," Dirk said. "She's been snapping for no real reason lately. And just now she asked me who I like better out of you and her, and begged me not to leave her. What do you make of that?"

"Very strange indeed," Montana agreed. "She's probably under a lot of stress, right. Maybe she's just getting upset about all the stuff that's happened so far. She got separated onto a different team from Matthew, she hasn't been able to eliminate Sophie or Edward yet, and she lost her friend Beatrice."

"I just wish everyone could along," Dirk sighed. "I know we could do it if we tried."

"I don't know about that," Montana replied. "You might have to pick a side soon, we can't keep up this vendetta forever, right."

"Lunch is served!" Chris announced as he rolled up a trolley.

The cart had several dishes on it including salads and steak.

"It's straight from Chef and his new intern," Chris declared.

Montana took a plate of stake, but nothing something on it.

"There's a red hair on my steak," Montana noted. "In fact there's a lot of red hair."

"Well, looks like Annie isn't the only one under stress," Dirk remarked.


(Parry)

Parry was still trying to get back into a stealthy style. He tiptoed carefully from room to room. He stopped and held his breath when he saw someone approaching. He clung to the side of the door as he noticed Annie walk by. The girl looked determined as she held her fake gun outwards.

Parry felt slightly relieved, Annie was a human and couldn't take him out. But she could still easily overpower him and it was quite possible that she had a vampire waiting nearby. He carefully tried to slide out the door. He stumbled though, and it was enough to get Annie's attention.

"Uh, hi," he said before running down the hall.

Annie darted after him in hot pursuit. Parry had the lead, yet he couldn't help bumping into every desk or chair that was in his path. Annie was quickly gaining on him. He entered a large sitting room with a fireplace at the front. He didn't dare to look back as he scrambled over the brick flooring. Once again, he stumbled over and ended up knocking down a pair of bellows. This worked out to his advantage, though, as Annie tripped over the bellows as well and gave Parry a chance to escape.

"Finally, something going my way," he sighed before walking right into a closed door.


(Edward)

Edward continued to pound and claw at the wall, trying to get it to release him. Eventually though, he started to get sore and realized that he was having no effect. Dejected, he sat down in exhaustion. He sighed as he decided that he had only one option.

He turned around and crawled deeper into the passage. The little light that he had had vanished as he crawled deeper into the tunnel.

"Ick!" he exclaimed as he inhaled dust and cobwebs. "This had better actually lead somewhere."


(Sophie)

Sophie had gotten far enough away from the other team they she could no longer see or hear them. She didn't bother trying any other of the rooms until she arrived at a pair of large doors at the end of the hallway.

She opened the doors and found herself in a large dining room. A long table stood in the middle of the room and was surrounded by several fancy chairs. She decided that this would be where she would wait for her opponents. She picked up one of the chairs and waited by the door.

She had to wait for some while before she heard the footsteps approaching. She gripped the chair tightly and lifted it above her head. Lionel, Greta, and Sooz all entered the room at once. They didn't have time to react to Sophie. With a crash she brought the chair down on Greta's head. The large girl tumbled to the ground unconscious.

"Ha ha, with her down, I've got a vampire to take out," Sophie declared as she reached for Sooz.

"Hey, I tried to warn you," Lionel growled as he stepped in front of Sooz. "No one touches my Alpha Female."

He grabbed onto Sophie's arm and tossed her backwards into the chair.

"Oh, you are going to regret that!" Sophie roared as she got up and charged at Lionel.

Lionel tried to brace himself, but he couldn't prepare for Sophie crushing him right into the wall. She held him up in place, but Lionel thought fast. He outstretched his leg and kicked her in the chest. She released him and that allowed him to tackle her to the ground.

"I've put up with you for long enough," Lionel declared as he kicked Sophie again.

Before he could kick her a third time, Sophie grabbed his foot and tossed him aside. She pulled herself up and armed herself with a chair again. Lionel looked around himself for something he could use as a weapon. He grabbed a tall, candle lamp. He jabbed it like a sword as Sophie waved her chair wildly. The two weapons clashed repeatedly with neither side giving.

All the wild Sooz was watching with fascination.


Confessional:

Sooz-Wow, Lionel sure got pretty defensive for me. I mean, he hasn't won me over yet, but you gotta admit, that's pretty hot.


(Annie)

Annie had lost Parry, but she continued to search diligently. She opened doors to every room she could find and searched every nook and cranny she could find. Still she saw no sign of any of the other contestants.

"Where are those guys?" she exclaimed. "It's like they don't even want to be anywhere near me."

Eventually she opened a door and found a narrow flight of stone stairs.

"Well, maybe this'll lead someplace interesting," she muttered to herself.

She made her way up the stair case which started to spiral once she got a bit higher. She walked up until she came to another door. She opened it and found herself on a balcony overlooking a large room. Curiously, she leaned over the edge of the balcony to see what was below her.

She gasped as she saw Lionel and Sophie dueling savagely.

"Okay, Annie, now's your time to shine," Annie declared to herself.

She examined the situation and tried to form the best solution possible. Eventually she decided to just do something crazy. She leapt outwards and grabbed onto a chandelier. From there, she swung herself under she was directly above Lionel.

"Hi-ya!" she exclaimed as she dropped down and kicked Lionel in the chest.

The boy was knocked directly into the floor from the impact.

"And you're out," Annie declared.

"Impressive work," Sophie praised. "Of course, if I was a human I could have taken him out easily so it's not really that impressive."

"Oh, my head," Greta moaned as she started to sit up. "Somebody give me a hand."

She grabbed onto Annie's shoulder and pulled herself up before leaning on Sophie.

"Thanks guys," she exclaimed.

Then realization hit her as she looked down at her hand.

"Oh, and I guess you're out," she said.

Sophie snarled as she shoved Greta aside.

"Well, you're not taking me down so easily," Annie exclaimed.

However, from behind her, Sooz was stumbling over her heels once again. She crashed right into the back of Annie.

"Sorry," Sooz exclaimed. "Sorry, about bumping into you, that is. I'm not sorry about getting you out."

Annie stamped her foot angrily, then she marched out with Sophie.

"Lionel, are you okay?" Sooz asked as she kneeled down next to him.

"Ugh, I feel kinda shaky," Lionel replied.

Sooz then leaned over and kissed him.

"How about now?" she asked.

"I'm fine," Lionel exclaimed as he jumped up.


Confessional:

Sooz-(on her phone) Hi, Brad, it's me, Sooz. I think we need to talk…I'm breaking up with you…there's someone else…bye!

Lionel-I knew I could win her over; all I had to do was fight off some psycho chick and get kicked to the ground by a different psycho chick. I could that in my sleep.


(Parry)

Parry was still having no look staying silent. He tried to creep into a laundry room, but ended up knocking over a basket of clothes on his way in.

"Who's there?" Matthew exclaimed.

"It's just me," Parry sighed. "Have you had any luck?"

"Nope," Matthew sighed. "I haven't run into anyone yet."

"I think I saw Annie just around here," Parry said. "You'd better watch out though, she's a human."

Parry half-heartedly investigated the laundry room. He came up to an old laundry chute and peeked his head inside. Suddenly a hand reached out and grabbed onto his neck.

"Got you!" Edward exclaimed as he crawled out of the chute. "Finally, I'm free."

"Ahem," Matthew coughed as he tapped Edward on the shoulder. "You're out."

Edward just sighed in frustration.


Confessional:

Parry-Now I can take off this stupid outfit! (Rips off his clothes)


(Later)

"Well, that wraps up the Twilight challenge," Chris declared. "Action Actors, you had a strong start, but you seriously blew it. Sooz, Greta, and Matthew you all managed to survive and take out your enemies. For that, you win immunity for your team. Action Actor, I'll be seeing you at elimination…for a third time in a row."

While the Comedy Cameos happily headed back to their trailers, the Action Actors discussed their votes.

"Now's your chance to take a side, right," Montana said to Dirk. "If you're with us, you'll vote for Sophie, right."

Unknown to Montana or Dirk, Annie was clenching her fists as she watched them talk.

"Actually, I've got a better idea," Dirk said. "We should all vote for Edward. He's the strategic one out of the two, and he actually seems to be more devious. You agree with me, right Annie?"

Annie didn't saying anything, she just marched way silently. Dirk looked at Montana who just shrugged awkwardly.

Meanwhile, Sophie had pulled Edward aside.

"So, are we finally voting for Annie?" Edward asked.

"No," Sophie said. "She reaffirmed my thoughts about her today. While she may not be able to follow orders well, she had a fighter spirit and brought us closer to winning today. Unlike Montana."

"This is ridiculous, this is absolutely ridiculous," Edward exclaimed angrily. "You know what, forget it! You've just lost yourself an ally!"

Edward then marched over to Dirk and pulled him aside.

"Listen, you need to vote for Annie tonight," Edward said. "You'd have to be blind not to see that she's seriously losing it. It's not just me, it's not just Sophie, she's seeing everyone as her enemy. We both know that she has to go."

"I—" Dirk tried to protest.

"Don't argue, just do it," Edward commanded.


(Elimination Ceremony)

The five Action Actors were in the audience for a third time.

"Why does McClean always make us come to these things so early when he's always late?" Sophie complained.

Right on cue, a puff of smoke exploded over the stage. When it cleared, a phone booth had appeared on the stage. Chris stepped out majestically.

"Action Actors, you guys are seriously sucking," Chris exclaimed. "Maybe this time you'll get it right, and vote out the one responsible."

He received a series of nods from some of the contestants.

"Well, let's get on with it," Chris said. "Only one of you got no votes today and that someone is…Dirk!"

Dirk smiled as he caught his trophy.

"The rest of you had better be worried," Chris cautioned. "With a team this small, every vote is 20% of your demise. Now the next trophy goes to…"

"Sophie!"

Sophie nodded as she accepted her trophy.

"And another one goes out to," Chris continued, "Edward."

All that remained was Annie and Montana. Annie was tapping her fingers against her knees impatiently well Montana just looked confused.

"Ladies, welcome to the bottom two," Chris exclaimed. "Or I should say, 'Welcome Montana,' because Annie you've been here nearly every night so far."

"And I've survived every night," Annie replied.

"Well this is the final trophy," Chris declared. "And it goes to…"

"Annie."

"I was voted out?" Montana asked in shock.

"Afraid so," Chris remarked. "Well, off you go."

"Can I at least say goodbye to Parry?" Montana asked.

"Oh what do you care?" Annie snapped. "It's clear that you're much more into Dirk. That's why I voted you out, to spare poor Parry's heart."

"Annie…you voted me out?" Montana gasped in shock. "What are you talking about? I never did—"

"Don't try lying to me," Annie scoffed.

"Annie, I seriously don't know what you're talking about," Dirk said. "Montana has been nothing but a good friend. Something I don't know if I can say the same for you."

"Leave me alone!" Annie snapped as she got up and dashed off of the set.

"Well, Montana, the Lame-O-Sine awaits," Chris exclaimed.

"Okay," Montana sighed as he walked down the Walk of Shame with her head down. "Well, good luck all of you. You're going to need it, right, there seems to be a lot of issues with this team."

With that she got into the Lame-O-Sine and departed.

"Action Actors, you may return to your trailer," Chris said. "And try not to lose again, it's really getting pathetic."


Confessional:

Dirk-(sighs) Why is it so hard to be the good guy? Just when I think Sophie is starting to make progress, Annie exploded. I really want to help both of them, that's what a good friend does. But it's not going to be easy.

Annie-(sobbing) What's happening to me? Did I seriously just vote out my best friend? Why can't I think straight anymore!


(Girls' Trailer)

Greta, Annie, and Sophie were in their trailer in complete silence.

"So…" Greta tried to say.

She got no response.

"Yeah, I'll be quiet now," Greta sighed.


(Boys' Trailer)

Edward and Dirk were silent, but Parry, Matthew, and Ethan were talking with each other.

"Once again, guys, great job," Matthew said.

"You did good, we didn't really do much," Parry sighed.

"Hey, you were fine, it was the clothes' fault," Matthew insisted. "By the way, have you seen Lionel?"

"Eugh, he's making out with his new girlfriend," Parry scoffed. "I wonder who long it'll take them to fall apart."

"Oh, speaking of which," Edward said, "Parry, Montana was voted out at elimination. Good night."

"What?" Parry exclaimed. "She's gone?"

"I said, good night," Edward grumbled.

Parry looked anguished, but he didn't say anything. Neither Matthew nor Ethan could find any words to console him with. Parry just hung his head and slumped into his bed.


Votes:

Edward-Annie you've gone from regular insane to scary insane. Personally, I'd have voted for you either way, but maybe now others will see things my way.

Sophie-Montana. Nothing personal, you're just the least valuable.

Dirk-I'm voting for Edward. He's not my friend. I just hope the others see this.

Montana-I'm gonna vote for Sophie. Sorry, Dirk, but she can't stay here.

Annie-I'm really sorry, Dirk, but you don't belong with Montana. I have to separate you before things go bad. For that, I'm voting for Montana.


(Conclusion)

"And we bid farewell to Montana," Chris wrapped out. "Next time, we've got another reward challenge ready. But I don't think a reward is going to fix the many problems with the Action Actors even if they do win. The drama is far from over so be sure to tune in to another Total…Drama…ReAction!"

Author's Note: Well, I think we all knew that Montana wasn't going to be winning again, so I might as well get rid of her early. She was a fun character which is why it was a shame, but it's time to let other characters shine.
