"Welcome back to Total Drama, Kywahq Island!" Chris shouted, as usual.

"Last time we saw the elimination of Derek!..." Chris pauses, then whispers to someone off-screen. "Who is that guy?"

"Oh...right, right.." Chris clears his throat and faces the camera again.

"Derek! That really nice guy who maybe or maybe not had a thing for Deanna... that weird... chick...?" Chris pauses once more.

"Whatever! Welcome to Total Drama, where anything is possible!" Chris smirks and the intro plays.

-Theme Song, 2007-

-Opening Theme-

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

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

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

-You guys are on my mind-

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

-You asked me what I wanted to be-

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

-You asked me what I wanted to be-

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

-Now I think the answer is clear to see-

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

-I wanna be famous!-

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

-I wanna live close to the sun-

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

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

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

-I'll get there one day!-

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

-Nanananananana-

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

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

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

-Whistling-

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

"BRRRRRRRRDDDT!" The typical buzzer is played over the loudspeakers.

"Ugh..." Seth groaned as he got up.

~~Confessional: Seth~~

"Some way, somehow... I've got this game. It is all. In. My. Hands. Heheheh, mwahahaha!" Seth coughs during his laugh.

"When'd I get in here? Don't tell me... aw, shit.."

~~End Confessional~~

Deanna sobbed silently into her pillow.

"Deanna, let's go! We've got a challenge to get to!" Celina called.

"No!" Deanna snapped. "I don't wanna!"

"C'mon! We have to! Have to!" Celina called again. Then she left briefly.

"Finally. Peace and qui-!" Suddenly Deanna was flipped out of her lower bunk. "What the-!"

"Deanna, let's go." Seth growled. "Now."

"Tsk. Whatever." Deanna got up and started to undress to get changed.

"Woah!" Seth covered his eyes. "Wait until we're outta here!" Seth backed out of the cabin, and Deanna finished changing. She eventually left, too.

~~Confessional: Deanna~~

She stared blankly into the camera, before taking a deep breath.

"There's something up with that kid. I can't be the only one who noticed that sudden 'change' in personality, right? No, he doesn't have no MPD or DID or whatever its called nowadays... but there's definitely something wrong there.. I just know it.."

~~End Confessional~~

-Mess Hall, Everyone-

"Alright, campers!" Chris shouted once everyone was gathered around him.

"Another challenge, McDear?" Drew muttered.

"Why would it not be, you idiot?" Ricky slapped the back of his head.

"Okay! First off, here's your breakfast!" Chris smirked evilly. He revealed a table full of turkey and other varieties of actual food.

"Oh my..." Gabriel didn't even get to finish before nearly everyone was on top of the food, gobbling it up.

Nikki sat alone, alongside Sofia, who had a piece of turkey in her hand. Eventually Alice and CJ joined them. Alice and CJ were sharing some turkey.

"Alright, guys.. I've gotta plan." CJ looked around to make sure no one else was listening. "We need to throw this next challenge, and vote off Zaheen."

"Vhat?" Sofia snapped.

"You heard me." CJ replied.

"Listen, ve all don't like Zaheen, I know, but she's an asset to the team. If ve're going to vote off anyone, vhy not that lousy, filthy guy, Michael or vhatever his name is?" Sofia asked the others.

"No!" Nikki snapped. "No..." The other three looked at her blankly.

"Well, he is pretty smart.." Alice nodded. "Zaheen is the bigger threat right now."

Michael watched from afar, and nodded in agreement. He understood (mostly) what they were talking about.

"Me or Zaheen.." He muttered.

"That's my piece!" Ricky shouted as the camera switched back to the buffet table. "MINE!"

Lance and him were fighting over a turkey leg.

"It's the last one, and you already had two!" Lance shouted back.

"You snooze you lose! Now give me my turkey leg!" Ricky growled.

Celina came up behind Lance.

"Hey, you can have some of mine, Lance." She whispered in his ear.

Lance smiled gleefully and instantly let go of the leg he was holding, causing Ricky to go flying backwards, and the leg to fall on the floor.

"Sure." Lance said, as he followed Celina to a table.

"2...3..." Drew counted. Ricky got up and reached for the turkey leg.

"4...5!" Drew yelled, snagging the leg away at the last second. "5 Second Rule! You lose! Haha!" He laughed as he tossed the leg into the garbage can.

"NOOOOO!" Ricky sobbed.

Zaheen ate alone, in silence.

"Gabe." Seth called Gabriel over to his seat at the table, the same one Nikki and co. were sitting at.

"Gabriel." Gabriel corrected him.

"Whatever." Seth growled. "Listen. I know you haven't been voting with me."

Gabriel gulped.

"But... I'll give you a chance to make it up." Seth told him. Gabriel nodded. "You help me take down Celina, or Lance... and I'll get you to the merge, at least."

Gabriel contemplated.

"But they're my friends... kinda.." He replied.

"And I'm the only one who can guarantee you stay safe, friend." Seth replied. Gabriel nodded in agreement. He knew Seth was wrong, but Seth terrified him.

"Good! Then it's all settled!" Seth clapped happily. "Let's eat!"

Arnold sat alone, munching on some turkey and mashed potatoes. Verity sat down across from him, making a loud Smack! noise when her plate hit the table. Arnold ignored her.

Verity cleared her throat. Arnold still ignored her.

"Psst! Hey!" She whispered and poked him with her fork. He ignored her.

"Hey! Meathead!" She poked him a few more times.

"WHAT?" He snapped. "Can't you see I'm trying to EAT?" He half-yelled, gulping down his food.

"Sorry, but you know we're outnumbered here!" Verity told him. "You and me, versus those three!" She pointed towards Drew and Ricky, who were fighting over Drew's food, and Kirsten, who watched them with a disappointed look on her face.

"Wow. Never took you to be the one able to do simple math. That's a shocker." Arnold rolled his eyes. She slapped him, albeit gently.

"Listen! We need to figure out how to take one of them out..." She drifted off.

"Ricky." Arnold said.

"No. Not him... Drew?" She replied.

"Drew's protected by Kirsten." Arnold said. "Ricky's the easiest target. Get him injured or something... unless he does it himself.." Arnold pointed at Ricky as he ate a mouthful of dirt with the loudest Thud! imagineable.

"No! No! No!" Verity slammed her hands down on the table. "Drew! We take out Drew!"

"Ricky." Arnold said, eating some more turkey.

"Argh!" Verity jumped up and stormed off.

"CHALLENGE TIME!" Chris shouted. Everyone realized that there was nothing left to eat... and then everyone became incredibly sad.

"Now, you know what you have to do?" Chris smirked. Everyone shook their heads. Ricky swayed a bit back and forth. "Run around the island. A single lap, and meet me back here. Those of you not back in time for dinner will miss out on dinner, ha!" Chris laughed evilly. "Now get going, it's a 24km run, and you guys aren't getting anymore time!"

Everyone groaned, but started running.

-3 Hours later, in the woods-

Nikki was clearly way ahead of everyone. She was alone. She paused and leaned against a tree that was slumped over.

"Guess doing cross country and track paid off, eh?" She looked around, and saw trees everywhere. Birch trees, oak trees, all kinds of trees. Then she saw the bear.

She froze. She didn't know what to do.

~~Confessional: Chris~~

"I so thought she was dead! Serves her right, she kicked the behind of a bear cub while she was running! Hahaha!" Chris hunched over laughing.

~~End Confessional~~

"N-N-N-" Nikki couldn't say anything. Then she spotted the bear cub, which had an odd fixation on her.

"N-N-N-N-I-Ni-Nice..." She managed to say 'nice', "Nice... m-m-momma... b-b-b-be-bear.." She slowly started backing away.

"Oi!" Someone yelled. "Get yer ass outta here! Haha!" It was obviously someone with a death wish. Gabriel ran out in front of her, eyes locked with the bear.

They stared back and forth for awhile, and eventually the bear began to falter, then a little more than falter.

"Hmph." The bear breathed and then backed off, walking in the opposite direction of Gabriel, who turned and smirked devilishly.

Nikki fell down to the ground and buried her face into her knees. Gabriel offered a hand.

"How ya doin', blondie? You okay?" He kept smirking. She hesitated, but took his hand.

"Thanks, Gabriel.." She muttered.

"Gabriel? Why, I'm Coop. Short for Cooper, obviously." He grinned and then turned back down the path. "We ought a get goin', eh?"

"Q-quick question.." Nikki asked as they began to walk down the trail. "H-how did you catch up t-to.. me?"

Gabriel turned to her. "Why I took some shortcuts, of course! None traditional ones, however.." He gave her a thumbs up, and then turned towards the trees on their right.

"Oi! Who's there, eh?" Gabriel shouted. Nikki didn't see anything. After a little bit, they kept moving.

~~Confessional: Zaheen~~

"How'd he notice me? I was going to sabotage Nikki. Argh." Zaheen glared at the camera, cross-armed.

~~End Confessional~~

-Further down the trail, Arnold-

"That crazy Veronica. We can't possibly beat those three. I hope the merge is soon..." He shrugged. "I'm surprised I even made it this far, especially with Drew gunning for me. Must be he's not calling the shots anymore.. and Ricky's too stupid... which leaves..."

He stopped.

"Kirsten. Gotta be her. It's gotta be."

He trotted down the path.

-The trail, Celina & Lance-

"Where'd everyone go?" Lance asked.

"I dunno." Celina shrugged.

They jogged alongside eachother in silence until Celina suddenly stopped. Lance stopped a few yards ahead, and walked back to her.

Sofia ran by them, and so did Drew and Michael.

"What's up?" Lance asked her. She did not respond.

She was staring at the ground, her face a little bit red.

"Cel-" Lance started to say, but was cut off as she swiftly grabbed him by the shirt collar and pulled him close, kissing him.. on the cheek.

She finished and then jogged off, leaving a dazed Lance behind.

"-Ina..." He muttered. Then shook his head. "Celina?"

~~Confessional: Lance~~

"Did that happen? DID THAT REALLY HAPPEN? I'm not going crazy, right? Oh! On National TV!" He paused. "YES!"

~~End Confessional~~

-The mess hall, a few hours later-

"Okay! So everyone is here, right?" Chris asked, looking around.

"15...16.." Gabriel said, now normal. "Yep! We're all here!"

~~Confessional: Nikki~~

"Wonder what happened to Gabriel in the woods.." She paused. "Surely he's not one of those, right?"

~~End Confessional~~

"Great! Because as of right now, we're officially undergoing a team swap!" Chris shouted gleefully. "Two teams instead of three, and in the order of the way you arrived!" Chris smirked.

"So, Nikki, Arnold, Sofia, Alice, Lance, Seth, Drew and Kirsten! You guys are the NEW SCREAMING Skeletons!" Chris shouted. Sofia, Alice and Nikki looked at each other, and then at their new teammates.

~~Confessional: Sofia~~

"MORE men? I really do hate you, McLean! I really do!" She stormed out of the confessional.

~~End Confessional~~

"Which leaves Gabriel, Celina, CJ, Michael, Veronica-"

"Verity!" Verity shouted.

"Whatever- Deanna, Ricky and Zaheen together as the NEW Glory Gamers!" Chris shouted. The team emblems were shown above each new group, the Skeletons now with a screaming skeleton, and the Gamers now with one that had a trophy with a game controller in it.

"Sweet!" Gabriel shouted. He was the only one with that enthusiasm.

"Alright! Now onto phase three of your challenge!" Chris smirked. "Stay awake for as long as possible!"

"I knew it... I just... knew it." Celina mumbled.

Ricky hit the floor with a loud thud.

"Well, one down, seven to go for the Gamers!" Chris chuckled.

-Eight hours in, 12 left-

Ricky, Drew, Lance and Gabriel were all out cold.

"Six members left from each team!"

Arnold slid over to Nikki, Sofia and Alice, who were sitting at the same table he was.

"Psst, hey!" He looked at them, they turned to him, albeit unenthusiastically. "So, I'm new to the team, I guess... how about we work together?"

Sofia perked up and glared at him. "Vith a filthy man like you? Never."

Alice looked at her.

"Vhat? They're all the same. They just want women for... you know.. stuff." Sofia replied.

"I just want to make it to the merge." Arnold shrugged. "But whatever, I can find new allies."

"Pfft!" Sofia stuck her tongue out at him as he slid away.

Zaheen had Deanna and Verity next to her.

"So it's agreed?" She asked them. They slightly, tiredly, nodded. "Good." Zaheen smirked.

Thud!

Everyone turned to see Verity's head smacked against the table.

-Twenty-Four Hours In, 8 Left-

Verity, Ricky, Deanna, Gabriel, Drew, Lance, Alice and Kirsten were asleep.

Arnold sat alone. "Couldn't convince them. I'll just have to prove my worth, then." He shrugged, yawned, and then hit the table with a thud.

Ding! "3 left for the Skeletons! This one's getting close!" Chris smirked. "But not close enough! Time for some... lullaby's!" Chris pulled out a radio which started playing classic lullaby's... on repeat.

-28 hours in, 6 left-

Zaheen hit the ground with a thud. It was three to three now.

-48 hours in, 4 left-

"Just four of you? Damn. The original cast would laugh at this! It's pathetic!" Chris shouted. He pointed at all of the campers who have been eliminated. "You guys, you stink! Go take a shower! All of ya!"

Everyone but Nikki, Sofia, Michael and Celina left.

"Now. Now it's time for booring, boring stories." Chris said, pulling out a hefty sized book.

"Chapter 1 of the history of the Kywahq Islands..." Chris trailed off, yawning.

-53 hours in; 2 left-

Celina and Sofia were both passed out.

"Originally thought to be a myth, the Kywaq islands have since been discovered, escavated and mined of all natural minerals, leaving a baron shell of what was once a bountiful land. Although many species still live here, many caves filled with toxic gasses have since been opened due to all the mining and escavating, but they have been filled up as of 1976. It is rumoured that a ghost, a ghost of a miner who never returned from the mines haunts the caves and mines, and that to this day, nobody has ever stepped foot inside one... and lived to tell the tale." Chris closed the book.

"You two are great!" He said to the zombie like Michael and Nikki. "You two just may not shame this challenge with terrible times!" He clapped.

"C...o...ffeee..." Nikki muttered. "P...lease..." She swayed forward, as did Michael.

Thud!

"Wow!" Chris smirked. "They hit the ground at the same ti-!"

Chuck ran up from behind the camera, then whispered something into Chris' ear. The two went back and forth for five minutes before Chris cleared his throat.

"Due to an executive decision, and extensive replaying of the footage, we have determined the winner to be..."

.

.

.

.

.

"Michael!" Chris shouted. "Now both of you go shower, and take those two with you!" Chris pointed at Sofia and Celina.

-The Campfire Pit, The Screaming Skeletons-

"Alright! Eight of you sit here before me, but only seven of you will be here when we finish!" Chris chuckled. "You know how this works. Come up when I call your name!"

.

.

"Nikki! Alice! Sofia! Lance!" Alice and Lance cheered as they got their marshmallows.

.

.

.

.

"Seth!..." Chris paused as Seth grabbed his marshmallow.

.

.

.

.

"...Kirsten! Your safe!" Kirsten grabbed her marshmallow. Drew and Arnold looked at eachother, wearily.

Drew smirked.

~~Confessional: Drew~~

"I've got this in the bag. Goodbye, Arnold me boy." Drew laughed and exited the confessional.

~~End Confessional~~

.

.

.

.

.

"ARNOLD! You're safe!" Chris shouted. Arnold burst out laughing as the color drained from Drew's face. He looked at Kirsten, who looked away like she wasn't paying attention.

"HAHA! You lose, dirtbag!" Arnold grabbed his marshmallow.

"Drew, the boat of losers awaits you, my man.." Chris muttered. Drew resisted.

"Screw this show! Screw it!" Drew yelled as Chef Hatches carried him to the boat of losers.

~~Final Confessional: Drew~~

"I knew it! She betrayed me! I knew she would! Oh-ha-hooo when I get my hands on her she's dead! Dead, ya 'ere me, dead!" Drew angrily stormed out of the confessional, muttering, "Screwin' me out of a million dineros, man fuck her! Argh!"

~~End Confessional~~

Everyone cleared out as Chris turned to the camera.

"And that's it for todays episode of Total Drama... Kywahq Island! What will happen next time, well, who knows what!"

"I know what!" Chuck screamed. "I do!"

"SHUT UP, CHUCK! I WILL FIRE YOU! I WILL!" Chris yelled at him.

"No, no, no! I know what will happen if we ever get a new episode out! Duh!"

"SHUT! IT!" Chris dismissed him, turning back to the camera. He calmed himself.

"See you next time on Total... Drama... KYWAHQ! ISLAND!"

-Static-

Nikki voted for... Drew!

Sofia voted for... Drew!

Alice voted for... Drew!

Arnold voted for... Drew!

Drew voted for... Arnold!

Kirsten voted for... Arnold!

Seth voted for... Arnold!

Lance voted for... Drew!

A/N: Still going. Maybe not strong, but still going! :P

QUESTIONS!

1) Was it a good chapter? Expecting Drew's elimination? (I know I sure wasn't, hehe!)

2) How do you feel about the 'main' characters (or who you think the 'main' characters are)?

3) Who will go next?

4) Who do you think is going to win this freakin' thing?

4.5) How many more twists/shocks do you think I have up my sleeve to keep this thing interesting? (To be honest, probably like, zero!)

5) And finally, do you think I'll finish this story before it's two year anniversary in November? (Even I don't know this one)

6) Has my writing improved since I started this story, and how can I improve it further? (For those who've been reading since the beginning lol)

See ya next time!
