Warning:
This chapter of Total Drama Boney Island contains scenes of extreme stunts performed by imaginary teens, Spiders, A rabid mongoose, snakes, screaming, some very thick fog, a very hard decision, worrying, and a whole lot of scheming. Do not try any of what you read here at home. Seriously, you could get really messed up
The early morning sunshine shone down on the dock of shame as Chris grinned at the camera, ready to do his job.
"Last time on Total Drama Boney Island" Chris started, "The campers were put through a brutal game of dodge ball!"
With a battle cry Ace dashed forward and launched the dodge ball right at George's chest knocking him to the ground.
"OW!" George wailed while Conner smacked his forehead.
"They were playing for immunity and a very luxurious visit to a spa with Dinner afterwards. The games included much ranting-"
"WHY?! WHY?! WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!" Demanded Conner in rage.
"-Some very bloody noses-"
"DEALER!" Jarvis yelled earning a look of disgust from his teammates, sure George was ugly to them with his acne, large nose, and stoopy figure but Jarvis didn't have any reason to hurt him like that.
"What was that?!" Ariel demanded angrily while George wept on the ground clutching his nose, even his hands couldn't hide the blood that was pooling through his fingers making it very obvious he wouldn't be competing next round.
"-And a whole lot of screaming."
"WILL YOU ALL SHUT UP!" Luiza yelled startling her teammates and pointing at them individually, "Ion, quit picking fights with Barbara, It makes you look like a douche, Barbara same goes for you but only with Ion instead, Sensan, Shut up and listen to everyone else, you aren't always right! Holly, settle down, you were overruled, and Wilbur... MAN UP!"
"in the end it was Team Juggernaut who showed superior teamwork and won the challenge with their wits and Ace's skills at dodge ball."
Ace stood up an lobbed one right into Wilbur's jaw knocking him to the ground painfully.
"But that's all yesterday's news." Chris smirked, "Today we'll see what they're really made of, and exactly how real their nightmares are. Who will be brave, who will be Wilbur, and who will get the boot in the most thrilling campfire ceremony yet?! Find out right here, right now! On Total Drama Boney island!"
Theme Song: I wanna Be Famous
A camera pokes from a tree knocking a squirrel to the ground, A spotlight exits a gopher hole, A second spotlight Falls out of a bush knocking a bird to the ground, and a camera pokes from the communal toilet before a clapperboard clamps down and the camera begins moving across the camp
Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine
The Camera passes by Chris who Talking through a Megaphone before it climbs up the thousand foot cliff.
You guys are on my mind
The Camera dives off the cliff and we see Veegie chasing a fish underwater.
You asked me what I wanted to be
The camera surfaces to where Ion and Wilbur are in a canoe. Ion is rocking out on his guitar while Wilbur plugs his ears from the noise.
And now I think the answer is plain to see
Suddenly the camera bursts into the woods behind them where Joe and Donald are standing and a squirrel falls in Joe's afro making him scream and panic while Donald rolls his eyes in disgust.
I want to be famous
The camera cuts to where Sensan is meditating in the woods before a water balloon hits him and he looks over to where Duke and Conner high Five and grin at each other.
I want to live close to the sun
The camera cuts to the waterfall where Barbara and Luiza are in a canoe and Barbara is complaining before Luiza hits her in the gut with the paddle. They then both look to their left and scream before the boat falls down the waterfall.
Well, pack your bags cause I've already won.
Kylee is standing on the broken log when she notices the raft fall down and loses her balance falling with them.
Everything to prove nothing in my way
The camera cuts to the confessional where Holly knocks on the door impatiently and it opens revealing Winston who growls at her making her back away slowly. The camera then moves to the mess hall and Jarvis can be seen digging in the trash.
I'll get there one day
The camera enters the mess hall where Chef dumps something that looks like sand onto a tray in front of Katharine and Ariel who glance at each other in disgust.
Cause I want to be famous
The camera pans over to where Serena puts on a Blue scarf and looks at herself in the mirror before looking to her left and smiling nervously at George who is suddenly hit in the face by a spoon. The Camera pans outside to where Ace is twirling a pencil in her hand while staring at what looks like a voting slip while Jay tries to peek and Ace hides it from her. We then see Tania looking absolutely stoned fall over into the water before getting grabbed by a giant octopus tentacle.
Nanana'nanaana nana nana
The octopus slams Tania down on the dock and she grins stupidly before some of her teeth fall out.
I want to be, I want to be; I want to be famous
Suddenly we see Lydia who waves at us from a beach chair and then gets distracted by the sun before screaming because it burns her eyes.
I want to be, I want to be, I want to be famous
The Camera moves into the sun and comes out of the campfire at night to Show Lawrence grin at the person next to him before the smile drops and the camera backs out to reveal Raelynn totally asleep. Everyone whistles as the camera backs out and Lawrence crosses his arms and looks to his left with his lips pursed. The Words Total Drama Boney Island Flash on the sign and then the camera fades to black.
The sunlight hadn't reached any of the boy's on The Warshipper's faces yet when the door creaked open and a figure rushed in while keeping to the shadows, not even the cameras could tell who it was. Hands darted up and grabbed Ion's guitar before a pair of mischievous green eyes looked down at it while a grin spread across the figure's face. The yes darted left and right before the guitar was dumped out the window and the figure ran outside to reclaim it. They left no evidence they'd even been there save the missing guitar. Whoever it had been was clearly trying to mess with Ion's head.
Confessional
Barbara: I'm actually surprised most mornings I'm the first one up, it's like no one else likes the sunrise, except Jay but she's usually looking at it through her bedroom window. It's probably the only time I can be alone for certain, when I can just think, and you know, Draw... (Barbara suddenly whips out a sketchbook and opens it to a page where we see the lake sketched.) Everyone says I'm really good but I absolutely hate my lack of skills when it comes to drawing trees. But anyway I'm going to start waking up this early to prevent Chris the creep from torturing me with early morning wake up calls.
Barbara walked into her cabin with her large bag slung over her back, It had contained most of her essentials when she'd arrived but now she just stuffed her blanket in there so she could sit near the water when it was still cold.
"Isn't that bag way too big to hold just a blanket?" Holly asked from where she was sitting on her bed with her book.
"What? do you think I have something else in here?" Barbara asked with a worried tone, "I just have a blanket, I don't do anything besides watch the sunrise."
Barbara the laughed suspiciously before dumping the bag on the ground and sliding it under her bed before sitting down.
"Luiza's still asleep." Holly commented while pointing to the pile of blankets that normally was awake well before everyone else.
"Yeah, aren't you usually asleep and she's up?" Barbara asked while grabbing her bible and looking up something to read.
"Well I went to bed early last night. Luiza stayed up and was sewing on the porch, I wonder what it was." Holly stated while Barbara just shrugged and pointed to the doll Luiza had absentmindedly slept with. It had the same hair and features as Ion and had a pin stuck in the left foot. There was no doubt what Luiza had been making.
"Let's stay on her good side." holly suggested as Barbara nodded and shut the bible before safely putting it on the end of her bed.
"Well today is going to be a good day." Barbara grinned, "I can feel I-"
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK!
The noise caused by the air horn was so loud Luiza leapt out of bed and began shaking in terror.
"The spirits! they've come to reclaim their souls!" Luiza screamed before realizing what was going on, "Aw man, I overslept!"
"Morning punching bags, today's challenge starts at Eight, so head on down to the showers and mess hall, and remember, you can't skip breakfast or it's a instant vote at the elimination ceremony! But no worries Ace will tell me if you skip. Ha Ha!" Chris explained before the PA system screeched and went silent.
"I hate him." Luiza muttered before stuffing the Ion doll in a bag which Holly and Barbara noted had dolls of Jarvis, Chris, Sensan, Wilbur, Themselves, and Joe.
"Not going to comment." Holly muttered while shaking her head trying to forget what she'd seen.
"Well I'm off to the showers." Luiza yawned, "I need to wake up and get ready for today, can't have our team losing and falling further behind can we?"
Confessional
Luiza: ugh, I'm usually so good at mornings, but last night I was so mad I made voodoo dolls of my entire team just in case they pissed me off. I'm just hoping Jarvis didn't get kicked off or that doll will be for not.
Holly: Barbara sure has been acting suspicious this morning, it's like she's trying to hide a dark secret that she's embarrassed of.
Barbara: hope my teammates don't find out about my collection, I don't need to be ridiculed. It's weird for someone like me to have a collection like that... Really weird.
"WHERE THE **** IS IT?!" Ion demanded as he shook Wilbur.
"I'm telling you! I don't know!" Wilbur screamed, "I didn't take it!"
"Would you change your mind if I did this?!" Ion demanded letting Wilbur fall back into the chair and grabbing the lamp he'd been using as an interrogation light and flicking it on and off.
"Stop it! I'm begging you!" Wilbur cried, "That's really annoying!"
"Ion!' Sensan barked, "Calm down man, we get your mad but Wilbur isn't the type to steal things."
"well you're not the type which leaves this idiot." Ion replied, "Unless I can't trust you."
"Dude, you can trust me." Sensan replied grabbing the lamp from Ion and putting it down, "Now let's gather evidence and find out who-"
"it was Barbara." Ion growled punching his open fist, "She took the guitar because she knew I'd do this and turn Wilbur against me!"
"Let's not jump to conclusions." Sensan replied blocking the door and preventing Ion from punching Barbara right then and there, "Remember our talk?
"Actually that makes a lot of sense." Wilbur stated making both boys turn, "I mean Barbara could get you eliminated by making you rage like this."
"I knew there was a strategist in there!" Ion grinned, "Let's go skin us a catholic!"
"Dude, stop, skinning Barbara alive isn't going to get you anywhere but jail." Sensan replied.
"You're right, but the skinning alive was just a figure of speech talking about harming her." Ion explained.
"I know it's a figure of speech man, but how do we know it's not Barbara and that someone just thinks you'll frame her?" Sensan asked.
"All I'm going to do is ask if she's seen it. I won't scream, I won't even pry, heck I'll ask everyone just so I don't arouse suspicion." Ion explained, "But who else on this freaking island would do something like that?"
"Someone from another team bent on making us lose again so they can continue winning." Sensan suggested before he was roughly shoved to the side by an angry Ion who stalked out of the room muttering to himself.
The girls who were finished with their morning washing and dressing were on the floor playing a game of Uno before breakfast. They weren't really expecting Ion to open the door without knocking.
"DUDE!" Luiza exclaimed, "What are you doing, we could've been getting dressed!"
"But you weren't." Ion replied sarcastically, "So lucky me."
"What do you need anyway?" Barbara asked, "It must be important if you're refraining from knocking."
Ion just shot her a glare and looked around the room.
"My guitar's missing." Ion stated pursing his lips and throwing his arms up.
"What?!" Luiza demanded angrily, "You mean someone swiped your most valuable possession?'
"Yep." Ion nodded.
"For starters I didn't take it, because I know that's likely one of your leads." Barbara stated while putting down a green five over Holly's blue one, "Why would I need a guitar anyway? Plus stealing goes against the ten commandments."
Luiza gave Ion the look of 'She has a point.' and he sighed.
"All I want to know is if any of you have seen it." Ion explained while staring directly at Barbara so she got the hint.
"Last I saw it, you were wearing it after the challenge." Barbara explained with a shrug, "I didn't take it, Holly didn't, and Luiza didn't, that leaves only one option."
"And what's that?" Ion asked while crossing his arms.
"Someone from another team." Luiza piped up.
Confessional
Ion: I know it was Barbara, Who else here would want to spite me, but I'll play along and later I'm going in and searching through that suspiciously large bag under her bed. She has something more than her drawing book in there, I know that.
Barbara: All I have in that bag is my drawing book, I could see Ion eying it up. But as long as Luiza and Sensan are here he won't go rooting through anything.
Sensan: We should take a practical approach and ask if anyone's seen it at breakfast. That seems like the logical route to take.
Beach
"You skipped most of the spa treatments?!" George asked in shock.
"Well of course." Ace replied with a shrug, "I'm not into that type of stuff, Serena was all over it though."
The two campers had met at the beach earlier that morning when Ace was doing her morning run and George "Stumbled." upon her and started asking questions. The truth was he'd been watching her for some time that morning, he didn't feel ready to approach her until she was done but he had gathered the courage and they were currently throwing flat stones into the water and seeing how far they could skip them.
"Did she go overboard with stuff?" George asked as he skipped a particularly large stone that just sunk upon contact with the water.
"Yep." Ace nodded, "She looks like a wolverine with those nails, she only got them so she could make Luiza laugh and not feel left out."
"It kind of sucks that Luiza got stuck on such a bad team doesn't it?" George asked with a sigh.
"yeah, but hey, better her than me." Ace shrugged, "I'm not only on a good team but I'm one of the reasons it's a good team."
"I guess..." George trailed and silence fell upon the duo.
"Joe and Serena are going out." Ace stated to break the silence.
"How was that?" George asked curiously.
"It was adorable, he's such a gentlemen." Ace grinned remembering the night before, "Who knew?"
"Really?" George asked.
"Oh yeah, he was kind to her, he did everything right, Serena seemed a little awkward and when he asked her out again at the end we all held our breath until she said yes." Ace smiled as she threw another rock.
"It sounds to me like Serena was feeling a little awkward." George explained.
"Pssh, everything's awkward at first. Joe can be a douche a lot of the time but he sure knows how to treat a lady." Ace grinned as she scraped in the sand for another rock.
"You do know that guys like him are just trying to play girls.' George explained, "Happens all the time at my school, they're such a sweetheart and the next thing you know they've dumped the girl and all she does is ask where she went wrong while he's trying to make a move on the next girl!"
"Wow, sounds like you've been paying way too much attention o bad relationships." Ace laughed, "Some guys are just better as couples than as single people."
"I guess..." George trailed, "I'm just worried Joe will pull something."
"As if, the dude is totally in love with her." Ace grinned, "He was yammering about it the day before, I just hope him and Serena are compatible."
"Yeah, I hope we're compatible." George grinned.
"What?" Ace asked.
"I said I hope they're compatible." George covered up quickly. Ace seemed to buy it and chucked another rock into the water where it skipped really far out of reach.
Confessional
George: is there a delete button for crushes? Because this is ridiculous, she's way older than me and we have nothing in common! Why did my brain choose her?
Ace: George needs to get a little confidence, maybe spending time with him will ease up his problem with talking to girls. I could be the one to break his awkward streak!
Forest
Luiza was leaning against a stump while scrawling something on a paper that looked suspiciously like witchcraft when Serena walked up behind her and dangled her very long and sharp fingernails in Luiza's face.
"WHOA!" Luiza exclaimed slapping the hands away and sitting up, "What's with those nails? You look like a wolverine!"
"I know!" Serena grinned, "My new pal Joe is one amazing fellow."
"You were on a date." Luiza stated, "He isn't your pal anymore."
"Yeah he is, it was platonic." Serena replied.
"Not how he'll see it, just watch, he's probably in love with you." Luiza explained while packing up her notes and whatnot into the bag with a skull on it and slinging it over her shoulder so it fell near her waist.
"yeah right, I'm not that lovable." Serena laughed, "He even asked me out again."
"He's in love with you!" Luiza exclaimed.
"No he is not." Serena argued motioning with her hands in the process.
Luiza just trailed into laughter as the two began heading to the mess hall.
"How was your team after the challenge?" Serena asked in order to shatter the silence like glass.
"Actually pretty good until this morning." Luiza replied with a shrug.
"What happened?" Serena askd as she skirted around a tree stump.
"Someone stole Ion's guitar." Luiza replied in deadpan.
"He thinks it's Barbara doesn't he?" Serena asked while Luiza nodded not looking happy about it at all.
"Of course he does." Luiza replied with a sigh, "My team wouldn't get along for anything. Even if there are a million dollars on the line."
"Yeah, you kind of got the short end of the stick, but look on the bright side you're still tied with team Bush." Serena responded with a grin. Luiza stopped dead and sighed.
"Serena what was a major problem for Team Bush yesterday?" Luiza demanded looking at her friend with prying eyes.
"I don't know..." Serena replied awkwardly.
"If it wasn't for Jarvis they could've stayed a little stronger, who do you think they voted out Serena? It was probably Jarvis which means they currently have no major problems minus minor feuds between campers. That leaves my team to become Team victory Two point O." Luiza explained while she hit her hand into her palm.
"It isn't that bad, there could be a merge coming up." Serena explained with a shrug, "Maybe you'll get lucky."
"Or maybe Chris will let us plow into the ground." Luiza sighed while hanging her head and sitting down, "All that time waiting to come on the show and it could end just because my team sucks! GRRR!"
"Luiza, you're going to win that challenge, you're going to make the merge, and you will make it far into this game!" Serena exclaimed, "So use your team's strengths and bypass their weaknesses."
"I just wish your team would lose for once so that the problems surface and the game becomes more fair." Luiza explained with a sigh as Serena helped her up, "There are bound to be problems and players that should be eliminated."
"Yeah, we need to lose once so Winston can head home. that little Jerk has been nothing but trouble since he arrived." Serena commented.
"Yeah, I don't really see any logic behind his standpoint at all." Luiza commented, "All he does is take Homophobic statements and turn them around so they target Straight people."
"he's tolerable most of the time." Serena shrugged, "Besides that everyone's pretty cool."
Confessional
Serena: Well it's over... or at least I thought it was, he asked me out again and I know he's in love with me! I'm just in denial! I like Joe, don't get me wrong but he's not the type of guy I wanted to date, but he's so committed. Ugh! What am I supposed to do?!
Luiza: I don't know, did I picture myself becoming friends with Serena at the start? no, that's my final answer. Little did I know that we can actually get along when we literally have nothing in common at all.
Team Juggernaut Cabin
Raelynn had her head thrust down on the railing of the porch as she slept light while basically standing, she'd gained the ability to fall asleep anywhere from years of practice. Every second counted because she had not had a very good night in terms of sleeping. Of course how she didn't fall off was always a mystery to her team but some took her sleepiness as an advantage.
Donald at this moment crept past her and into the cabin. The place had been deserted since Chris' wakeup call but that didn't stop Donald from being cautious.
Confessional
Donald: As much as I hated to do it, I needed someone to put on the bottom, So far every challenge has granted a new person a sense of value to the team. Raelynn, Ace, and who know who'll be added today. I just need a way to turn the majority of the team against someone, and I knew the perfect note to strum in order to achieve that.
Donald slid open Serena's drawer and with a look of disgust her grabbed a bra and stuffed it in Lawrence's bag, hiding it under stuff so that it would only be found by Lawrence himself.
"I hate this." Donald muttered as he stood up, "But it has to be done."
"What has to be done?' A voice asked making Donald freeze and he turned to see Raelynn looking at him before yawning loudly.
"uh..." Donald trailed looking left and right nervously.
"Dude, it's fine to be plotting but do it in your head." Raelynn ordered while walking to her bed, she was clearly oblivious to the events that had just transpired in the cabin.
"Oh, yeah... Who do you think should go?" Donald asked.
"Well I'd say someone who isn't very nice or has a mean side to them, so Maybe Joe or maybe Lydia due to her distracted lifestyle." Raelynn shrugged as she rooted in her bag and pulled out a comb straightening her hair that had gotten very messed up due to her hoodie. Once she was sure it was dry and straightened the hoodie went back up and Goggles were put back in place.
"Okay." Donald nodded before he noticed her eyes droop and the girl fell asleep while standing again while mid conversation, "Wow, someone got way less sleep than usual."
Donald crept out of the room and climbed down the ladder. The moment he left Raelynn lifted her head, dashed to Lawrence's bag and pulled the bra out before putting it back in the drawer.
"The good thing about not being able to sleep is that I can easily keep an eye on you Donald." Raelynn muttered before following his footsteps out of the cabin and heading to breakfast.
Confessional
Raelynn: Telling everyone will only make me a target, right now the best I can do to get that idiot out is to undo all he does and make the game proceed naturally. With his elimination coming up before Ace's.
Donald: God am I lucky. Raelynn is one person I was afraid of seeing me pull that off but she sleeps so much you can slide anything under her nose. But to be on the safe side, I'm going to have to eliminate her as soon as the team deems it fit.
Mess Hall
"Good morning team." Joe greeted as he took a seat between Serena and Raelynn forcing them apart so he could sit next to Serena. Raelynn scowled at him for a second before taking a bite from her apple and averting her gaze.
"Morning Joe." Serena greeted.
"So I was thinking that after the challenge we meet for another date." Joe grinned while wiggling his eyebrows in a fashion that made Raelynn point down her throat and make gagging noises.
"Sure, Luiza was saying you were going to fall in love with-" Serena started.
"I am completely enamoured by you." joe stated in almost a whisper making Ace snicker at the corniness.
"Um... this is awkward." Serena muttered moving his hand away, "It was just one date man."
"And our next one will top it in every way!' Joe grinned, "So what do you say?"
"Um..." Serena muttered looking around at the other tables and Seeing Luiza shake her head no, "I guess..."
"Serena you have made me the happiest boy alive!" Joe exclaimed before kissing her hand and making her go wide eyed.
"I thought we were just friends, pals, chums, you know... mates." Serena smiled trying to think off her head of every word that meant friend, "That's what I was indicated at least... heh heh."
"How about Soulmates." Joe whispered.
"I need to go use the confessional." Serena said through an awkward smile, "Be right back."
"I will wait for you princess." Joe replied making Serena shudder.
Confessional
Serena: Okay, last night he was such a gentleman but today he's acting really creepy, like what I expected to happen on that date. He's really freaking me out and acting like we're going to be together forever. (Serena looks left and right and the leans into the camera.) He's already making baby name lists and they're all hairstyles! He's beginning to make me feel sick, and not the good type. I want to say no and that it's over but you've seen how happy he is. I don't want to make someone depressed. I just don't want to be depressed either, but it's hard to pick who should be depressed. (Serena groans and static cuts her off.)
"What was her deal?" Donald demanded while pointing to the door she'd exited out of.
"Maybe she just can't get enough of me." joe grinned while putting his feet up, "I'm pretty much the best."
Joe forgot he was on a bench and when he leaned back he fell on the ground making his teammates laugh at him.
"Wow, you truly are the most awesome of them all." Raelynn commented with a smirk.
"Hey, I am a cool guy, what guy would get a manicure with his girlfriend and be happy about it?" joe asked, "I am and I'm awesome."
"Yeah you're Serena's friend slash little sister." Ace commented making several people snicker. Joe just hardened his gaze at her.
"Okay, anyway, I need everyone to listen." Donald interrupted capturing everyone's attention, "We've managed to go four eliminations with no loses."
"We are the power!" Lawrence exclaimed.
"Er... yeah, anyway, We all know what happens when a team wins too much don't we?" Donald asked looking around at his teammates with narrowed eyes.
"They lose don';t they." Lydia piped up, "They get really cocky, lose, and then keep winning because they've learned their lesson, then they lose again and the cycle starts all over again. Kind of like a washing machine."
"Anyway, let's just not get cocky." Donald stated, "Because who knows what problems could arise if we do?"
"Yeah, we could end up like The Warshippers... Or worse..." Ace trailed looking over at the other table.
Confessional
Donald: What can I say? I want to lose, I want this team to spiral into chaos. If you can adapt and accept change you'll thrive in chaos but if you can't well the orderly way our team is right now is basically the best for you. But I know that I can adapt and that some of the others can't, Chaos is my playing field, it's time to start playing.
Ace: Donald is starting to freak everyone out with all his "Don't lose" Talk. It's like if we do lose he'll get mad, I wouldn't worry though. I'm excellent at playing this game so long as there's a goal to strive for. This team will remain strong with Teamwork and order, because without it we crumble under the pressure.
Raelynn: Well I could've said Donald is the reason we'll lose but I'd rather not have a bulls eye on my back right now. Mr. tough is trying to make us fall apart and if he des I'll make sure he's one of the first to go down.
Afro Joe: Pssh, what do they know, I'm so in love with Serena I made baby name lists, Once I put on my master moves she won't be able to resist me. Not that she can't already.
The Warshippers Table
Crunching of cereal made the silence go from awkward to unbearable as the team ate in silence. Some would occasionally glare at one another. Ion with everyone, Luiza with Ion, Holly at Wilbur, and Barbara at Sensan and Ion. The fact that every time someone took a bite made a very loud and obnoxious crunching sound didn't help with the situation. No one was happy, they just all seemed to be in this purgatory of silence waiting for someone to make the first move. Except everyone was waiting on this so it remained awkward.
Eventually however Wilbur coughed and everyone took that as a sign to begin arguing.
"Where's my guitar?!" ion demanded glaring at Barbara.
"I don't have it." Barbara growled through gritted teeth.
"Guys-" Sensan started.
"SHUT UP!" Ion and Barbara yelled at the same time, "HEY STOP IT!"
"Ugh." Luiza groaned slamming her head on the table.
"Oh like you're any better." ion muttered crossing his arms, "Yesterday proved that you're the craziest of us all."
Luiza lifted her head and gave a look that could've killed Ion if looks could kill. Or if she had heat vision.
"Okay guys, the other teams are watching." Holly stated nervously and everyone turned to see the others and Chef watching them.
"Go on..." Duke urged from his table while rotating his hand.
The entire Warshippers team just turned away and Duke frowned at them.
"Okay, we need to stop fighting or we're going to die out there today." Sensan explained.
"I'll stop fighting when I figure out who stole my guitar!" Ion exclaimed.
"Well you're not going to be able to find it if you get eliminated now are you?" Luiza demanded.
"Pssh, who says I'm eliminated?" Ion asked before noting the majority of his team glaring at him, "Hey, I'm not the problem here, whoever the heck took my property is, they just knew I'd react like this."
"Well whoever it was happened to be smart and you just happen to be dumb enough to do exactly what they want." Holly stated crossly, "Do you have any idea how stressful you're making this for everyone?"
"I really could care less what you think Holly, I-" Ion started.
"Enough, put your feeling aside and look at the big picture." Luiza ordered, "Team Juggernaut hasn't lost once and if we keep this up they aren't going to lose which means our team has a fifty percent chance of losing if they don't screw up, So guess what no one here is helping by acting like this! If we want to stay ahead or at least keep up we need to work for the good of this team or none of us are making it to the merge or the finals."
That seemed to have struck a chord with her teammates.
"You want to be assimilated into the other teams because guess what? You're on the bottom if that happens." Luiza continued, "Fourteen at the merge is rare and it's more common to have less than ten, so wake up and smell the roses."
"She kind of has a point." Holly nodded looking at everyone nervously.
Confessional
Holly: It's so easy to flip sides with this team, they have no idea that they're just ripping one another apart while I sit pretty. However I would prefer to win and not vote anyone off for that's good for my game. However I currently have the smallest target, No one even guesses my little switch at the first ceremony, and Ion and Barbara are just tearing the team apart and everyone's using that as an excuse for them to argue. It's kind of hilarious when you think about it. I currently rule this team and can flip people on one another at the flip of a dime. However I need to move the target onto Wilbur somehow, so let Luiza play peacekeeper for now, she's useful.
Luiza: Okay, let's look at this in perspective, Ion and Barbara are great teammates individually, they both carry their own weight, both are smart, and both are moderately strong. However when they're together they aren't productive, hurt the team more than they help it, and do nothing constructive whatsoever. Well you can see where our problems start can't you. The real question is who gets along with everyone else the best once the other is eliminated?
Ion: (He's staring at his hands which are void of guitar.) I miss Susan, My hands feel so... Wrong... Ugh! I can't stand this!
Sensan: I am not voting Barbara or Ion out, if I can get them to resolve their issues then we may be looking at some fantastic friends or at least fantastic teammates.
Team Bush
"Wow, I'm glad we solved all our problems with only two eliminations." Duke snickered.
"No we haven't." Ariel replied dryly.
Katharine growled at her.
"I didn't mean you princess." Ariel replied pointing at Jay who was watching Duke's biceps. Duke covered them up like a girl who was wearing an embarrassingly small top in public did when she saw someone she knew, "We still have a few kinks to work out."
"Oh they'll work out." jay replied with a sigh, "So do you like transformers, the micheal bay movies?"
"What?" Duke asked in confusion.
"Oh I love them... Unless you hate them, because then I hate them too." Jay explained.
"Oh my god, this has gone way too far!" Duke sighed turning to Jay, "I am not interested!"
"Okay fine." Jay stated as both turned away and resumed eating, "He is so interested."
Duke sighed and began banging his head on the table.
"Then there's our unresolved conflict, Conner and George's unresolved conflict, and my personal favorite you and George!" Ariel exclaimed.
"He looks like a goblin." Katharine commented.
"You looked like a goblin last night." Ariel retorted before receiving the highest of fives from George.
"To be fair she would've looked normal but I'm so used to that makeup mask, that it was a traumatizing experience." George commented as Ariel nodded.
"Oh be quiet, at least I don't look ugly like you." Katharine sneered pointing at George's pimple covered face and desperate need for braces.
"Hey!" George protested.
"Ladies, enough." Conner stated as he looked over a paper.
"HEY!" George protested glaring at Conner.
"What do you have there anyway?" Ariel asked curiously.
"Is it a clue to the idol?" Katharine asked with a gasp.
"Has anyone found that anyway?" Ariel asked curiously as Serena walked past.
"Nope." Serena replied in deadpan as she passed.
"No, it's a paper filled with just random words, it was left here by someone." Conner explained holding the paper out so everyone could see, "Being responsible for someone getting injured-"
"That is like my worst fear." Jay groaned, "I would be so sad if that happened."
"-Being beaten by a smaller person at sports." Conner continued.
"Guilty." Duke grinned putting his hand up, "Wonder why it was so accurate..."
"George are you afraid of snakes or Spiders?" Conner asked with worry.
"Snakes, and you'd better not be plotting to put one in my bed!" George exclaimed.
"This paper contains all our fears." Conner exclaimed in horror.
"OOH! It's on a paper! What's the worst that could happen?" Katharine asked with a roll of her eyes.
"CHALLENGE TIME!" Chris yelled bursting into the Mess Hall.
"Me and my big mouth." Katharine groaned putting her head in her hands.
Confessional
Conner: This is going to suck, we are two players down and if we fall further behind there's no telling who will go next!
Katharine: I hate fear, I don't want to be seen without makeup! That's just crazy! UGH!
George: What can I say, this will not end well.
"Who's excited for today's epic challenge, a favorite from season one!' Chris grinned reaching into a hat and grinning, "Today you'll be facing your fears."
"Sounds easy enough." Duke grinned cracking his knuckles.
"Correction, it will be very difficult." Chris grinned, "And in order to keep it even and fair to you all, since you all look like you could faint at the drop of a hat. You'll be facing each other's fears!"
"... What?" Conner asked.
"What's better than making Duke who's afraid of losing to smaller people face Raelynn's fear of being covered in someone else's blood?" Chris asked while several people looked at Raelynn with worry, "The rules are simple-"
Chef suddenly unveiled a wheel with all remaining Twenty campers pictures on it, There was an Arrow that would stop at one picture and could be spun multiple times.
"-You spin the wheel, when it lands on a picture we take the picture down and remove a peg making one of the fears adjacent gain more space, We'll tell you what it is and you can either take that fear or face your own. If your fear has already been faced you're out of luck and don't get a point for your team." Chris explained while Katharine and Barbara looked shocked, "And you're going to want to win today because the winner today gets the ability to swap cabins with another team or in team Bush's case, prevent another team from taking theirs."
"We are winning today." Conner growled crumbing the paper in his hand up and throwing it behind him.
"That's the spirit!" Chris grinned, "Now first up is... JOE!"
Joe blinked nervously as Chef dragged him to the front of the room where the wheel stood.
"Spin away my friend!" Chris grinned as Joe did indeed spin the wheel, around and around it went and it eventually halted at Lydia.
Chris picked up the picture and Chef pulled off a peg increasing the size of Serena's area.
"Lydia fears thunder." Chris explained, "So in order to simulate that we'll have you sit in a small room while artificial thunder crashes, if you last five minutes you earn your team a point!"
"Doesn't sound too bad..." Joe trailed looking left and right nervously.
"INTERNS!" Chris yelled as Two Interns entered and grabbed Joe dragging him away to the Arts and crafts center.
"Well I'm in relief." Lydia sighed, "No chance of getting my own fear."
"Yeah, that would suck." Ace nodded feeling for her.
"Since Joe can't be watched we'll draw another name." Chris announced digging into a hat and drawing a new name, "Raelynn, it's your turn... Raelynn?"
"She's fallen asleep Chris." Lawrence replied motioning to where Raelynn had her face pressed into the table and was fast asleep. Chris frowned and picked up his Air horn and blew it.
"I'M AWAKE!" Raelynn screamed before noticing everyone staring at her, "What?"
"Spin the wheel!" Chris ordered looking peeved.
Raelynn awkwardly approached it and her shoes squeaked as she pressed forward. Eventually she reached the wheel and gave it a good spin before backing away as if it was to explode in her face, however it just stopped on Luiza's picture and Chris grabbed the photo.
"You must watch a fifteen minute video featuring Anime Style characters." Chris explained.
"I love anime!" Raelynn exclaimed before Chris pulled out the DVD.
"AHHHH!" Luiza screamed pointing at the massive dinner plate sized globes the characters on the front had for eyes.
"As an added challenge, you cannot fall asleep during this." Chris explained looking at Raelynn suspiciously.
"They're so cute." Jay cooed while Ariel shuddered at the lifeless eyes that seemed to stare right through her as Raelynn was led away to a secluded spot to watch the short movie.
"Can whoever is next land on a good one please?" Chris asked, "Like the blood or the Dark or something cool like that?"
"Just pick a name." Donald ordered and Chris frowned and stuck his hand in the hat again to pull out the next name.
"Holly, you're next." Chris grunted as Holly scotched her chair back and ran to the front.
"Okay, here goes..." Holly trailed spinning the wheel and looking hopefully at it as it spun past her fellow cabin mates over and over and finally came to a stop on Ariel.
"Ariel's fear is... Spiders." Chris stated hauntingly.
"Like small spiders?" Holly asked nervously.
Confessional
Holly: Okay, the show may be sadistic but it's on a budget so come on! What's the worst that could happen?
Chris grinned as Chef removed the massive tarantula from the tank with a gloved hand. It scurried up with little prompting and Chef carried the large hairy bug to Holly who noticeably paled at the sight of it. The giant hairy spider just stared at her with its black eyes and moved its fangs.
"in order to get a point for your team you must hold this tarantula with your bare hands for thirty seconds." Chris explained, "However you can back out now and face your own fear."
"Nope, I'm going to try this." Holly replied not even wanting to think about zombies period.
"But its a giant bug that eats insects larger than your fingers every day!" Ariel mumbled from her hiding place behind Conner and Duke.
Holly made a noise that sounded halfway between a cry for help and a nervous groan.
"Are you sure?" Chris asked and Holly nodded knowing she could just hurl the bug away at any second if anything proved too difficult.
Chris nodded to Chef and he extended Holly's hand and let the tarantula climb onto her. Holly whimpered nervously and tensed up but the spider just stayed there and didn't do anything so Holly lifted it up and began examining it closely looking for any signs of danger. The time whittled down quickly until a bell chimed and Holly's team began cheering at her bravery.
"Well that was unexpected but Holly gains a point for her team." Chris announced and The Warshippers all high fived one another.
Confessional
Holly: (She still has the spider.) Mom I know what I want for my birthday now! One of these darlings! Ariel told me they can be kept as pets and her cousin is the reason why she fears spiders. BUt come on he's adorable!
"Okay troop! Let's pick a new-" Chris started before Joe burst into the Mess Hall panting.
"JOE!" Donald yelled, "You cost us a point!"
"YOU!" Joe exclaimed pointing at Chris, "Are pure evil! That was not natural at all, I have a blazing headache and I can't stop my ears from ringing!"
"You still lost and now your team hates you." Chris grinned before pointing to Joe's bench and making the boy scowl, "Anyway our next victim is Ion!"
Ion muttered something and stood up before stalking over to the wheel and giving it a good spin, it spun round for one whole rotation before stopping at his own photo.
"WHAT?!" Ion demanded in horror.
"Oh this is hilarious." Chris smirked, "Your challenge is to last two minutes in a shroud of fog."
"F-Fog..." Ion stammered while Duke burst into laughter at the ridiculous fear.
"Yes." chris nodded before the doors all shut and a hissing sound began, "Just say uncle when you give up or wait until the buzzer sounds."
"O-Okay..." Ion trailed nervously as the air began to thicken and fog poured into the room. Calling Ion's face one of a scared rabbit would be an understatement, it only got more worried as the fog thickened.
"You can do it Ion!' Luiza exclaimed helpfully.
"Wow, this fog sure is getting thick." Conner exclaimed in a display of overacting as Ion began to not be able to see anyone.
"TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF!" Ion wailed and Chris obeyed and the doors were open. The stressed look on the boy's face became apparent and his team sighed now only able to have a high score of five.
Confessional
Ion: (He's in an egg shell position sucking his thumb while looking left and right wildly.)
Donald walked to the front after having his name called and stopped next to the wheel.
"No fair, our team hasn't even gone once yet!" Conner exclaimed, "And they're getting all the easy ones."
"It's completely random and I have no control over what the outcome is." Chris explained like he was reading it off a cue card.
"Whatever." Conner growled crossing his arms angrily.
Donald gave the wheel a hard spin and it rotated clockwise three times before coming to a halt on Sensan's name. Chris removed the photo and cleared his throat.
"Sensan fears eagles so you must hold an eagle we got from a local zoo. However they are endangered and if you damage it in any way, shape, or form, our show is facing lawsuits." Chris explained as an inter entered with an eagle perched on a glove normally worn by falcon trainers, but still it was a large bird and the glove performed its job pretty good. Sensan ducked his head upon seeing this and Donald was fitted with a glove.
"Ready?" The intern asked and Donald nodded before being handed the bird.
"It's heavier than I thought." Donald commented as he held it at a safe distance. Several people on his team clapped and the Intern took the bird back.
"Congratulations Donald, your team is now Tied with The Warshippers for first, "Now our next victim is Jay!"
"Don't mess this up." Duke ordered, "We need to keep that cabin!"
"I won't." Jay stated with a nod walking to the front and spinning the wheel, after half a rotation it came to a halt on Ace, "Uh-Oh, Ace is pretty hard-core."
"For your challenge, you must hug... This Gargoyle." Chris explained as Chef wheeled a monsterous creature into the room, it was made out of stone and had devilish features and a very creepy look to it. You'd expect to see something like this on an old church but here it was staring blankly at everyone.
"I do not blame you." Lawrence atted while shaking his head, "Ace, your fear is rational."
"They creep me out." Ace explained.
"Will you take the fear or face your own?" Chris asked and after much thought Jay walked forward and hugged the montorous statue.
"Okay then, all three teams are tied at one and Raelynn has about three minutes left in her movie, let's keep this thing moving!" Chris announced with a grin.
Confessional
Jay: That wasn't too difficult, Sure it was creepy and scaly but so are dragons and they're awesome. But I can see why someone would despise the things and I give Ace credit for not fleeing like a little girl.
Ace: My Grandma took me to Spain once and I had so much fun, but then we visited an old church and there were hundreds of thise things just staring down at me. They're meant to be ugly and represent sin and they just... UGH!
"Conner, you're up!" Chris announced as Conner pushed his seat back and walked up to the wheel giving it a careless spin. The pictures turned into a blur of colour for several seconds before slowing down again and landed on an extended space belonging to Raelynn. Chris picked up the picture and paled a little at what was written.
"What is it?" Conner asked his eyebrows going up and a growing nervousness inside him welling up.
"Raelynn's worst fear is being covered in blood." Chris explained lowering the card. Katharine and Lydia looked sick at the prospect and even Conner was showcasing legitamate fear.
"Uh..." Conner trailed as his team eyed him up nervously, Sure they wanted a point but no one wanted to be covered in blood.
"You can either get covered in blood, or you can put the card back and take your own fear which is Apes, and you get to hug one." Chris explained as Conner's eyes widened in shock, "Choose wisely."
"Take blood." Luiza called.
"No way, the ape is way less gross." Winston argued, "Although its primative mannerisms of liking the other gender are-"
"SHUT UP!" His team ordered angrily.
"I'll take my own fear." Conner replied while poking his index fingers together.
"Good choice." Ace nodded, "No one wants to be coated in blood."
An intern led a very large Ape in. The thing was bigger than Duke and he was the biggest guy there. It sniffed and made a noise showing disgust at the smell of Chef's cooking which was still littered on the tables.
"Approach her cautiously and show her you mean no harm." Chris explained, "She is used to humans and won't act viciously unless provoked."
"H-Hi-" Conner started walking up to the massive ape, "I'm- MGGGH!"
Conner had been squeezed into a hug so quickly he had the breath driven from him.
"YEAH!" His team cheered as a ding sounded and the evidence Conner had scored another point for them was soliidified by a ding and a two appearing next to their team name. The ape let go and was led away as Conner fell over and groaned.
"Can't feel ribs.' Conner groaned before making a crying sound.
"Our next victim is Wilbur." Chris explained and Wilbur isntantly made a whimpering noise while Chris stepped over Conner, "You'll be facing Joe's fear of going... BALD!"
"AHHHH!" WWilbur screamed.
"Dude, your hair is so short it won't make much of a differance." Chris explained, "It's eiither this or the dark, Chef will do the honors of making your hair... what, a little thiner?"
Wilbur was led to a chair and sat there whimpering and Chef walked out, turned on an electric razor and began cutting a small portion of hair when Wilbur screamed and dove under his team's table where Ion and Barbara began kicking him in anger.
"STOP IT!" Wilbur whined.
"You're afraid of getting your hair cut?!" Luiza demanded angrily, "SERIOUSLY!"
"To be fair I'm afraid of everything." Wilbur replied but Luiza just glared at him.
"Too bad, no point for your team." Chris laughed as Chef put away the supplied, seconds later Raelynn walked in and handed the DVD to Chris adding insult to injury for the Warshippers, "Team Juggernaut is back on the boards!"
Donald high fived Raelynn who sat down and her head thudded on the table and she began to breathe lightly fast asleep in no time.
"Okay then." Chris shrugged.
Confessional
Raelynn: It wasn't that hard to do, I love anime and my mom and me have some DVD's and a player to use, if I win, we're moving somewhere nicer and maybe she can conclude her schooling and get a better job. Then I'll get the medication I need and then spend the rest on Movies and stuff! Life will be good after this... And all applicable taxes.
Wilbur: I can't control the fact that I well up with fear and almost anything (A fly lands on hims and he screams and brushes it off.) DON"T TOUCH ME!
Ion: Wilbur is really starting to annoy me. Okay so what if I wasnt able to face my fear, it was MY fear! Wilbur had to get his head shave and somehow screwed that up. Which is both good and bad, I'm not throwing this challenge, I need more time to get myself out of this rut, and Wilbur is not helping me with that! However guess who the target is on now.
Chris pulled a paper from the hat and pointed at Winston who Grinned cockily and stood up approaching the wheel with an air of excitement. He spun it and it moved three pegs to the left and came to a halt on Donald's picture.
"You must spend five minutes in a confined space and face Donald's claustrophobia." Chris explained, "Or you can take part in the Homophobic rally we have set up for your own challenge."
"Pssh, no problem." Winston shrugged before being led away by Chef and shoved into the nearest broom cupboard whic had so little space his body was shifted into a video game puzzle block shape and all he had to do to give up was open the door. The door was shut and everyone sighed in relief.
"okay our next contendor is Serena." Chris announced as he read the slip of paper, "Come up her and spin the wheel!"
Serena looked at the wheel and noted that a fifth of it belonged to one space, Jay's. But the rest was divided pretty awkwardly. Serena spun the wheel and it came to a halt at Ace but moved over to the left by one and made her challenge be jay's.
"Oh please don't be disgusting." Serena begged crossing her fingers.
"Jay's fear is being responsable for another person's injury, this intern will help us." Chris grinned as Chef grabbed an intern and locked him onto the wheel. Serena was left staring at him in shock while the intern began screamed.
"Here you go." Chef stated handing Serena a Dodge ball.\
"You must hit this intern Five times with varying objects." Chris explained motioning to a lawn dart, A rabid weasel, A medicine ball, and a throwing knife, "Using all five provided weapons."
"No!" Serena yelled thrusting the ball back into Chef's hands, "I can't torture someone!"
"Aw." Chef groaned and the Intern looked upset before he was released and fixed his shirt revealing he was wearing protective gear under his shirt and pants.
"It's okay." Lydia comforted as Serena sat down looking upset.
"Our next challenger is... George!' Chris exclaimed and George stood and marched to the front taking a deep breath but silently hoping the new large area that belonged to Raelynn's sadistic blood challenge was not what he landed on.
"Here goes." George exhaled before spinning the wheel until it clicked to a halt on the photo of Barbara, "Come on! What is it! I'm ready to prove my worth!"
"You must watch this claymation movie." Chris explained while Barbara's pupils dilated and she lowered her head so she wouldnt be seen.
"Easy." George smirked.
Chris held out a VHS tape that was so old it was black and white and the front had an image of a very creepy Claymation Giant.
"AHHHH!" George screamed flinching backwards.
"Chef selected an eight minute fight sequence you must sit through in order to gain a point." Chris explained as Chef pushed him into the kitchen where a screen was set up.
Confessional
George: This shouldn't be too hard... I hope.
Serena: Chris is a sadistic monster! I would never knowingly hurt someone, No way, no how! It's just wrong by every mean of the word. UGH!
"Duke, our next victim." Chris smiled as Duke stood next to the wheel and looked about impatiently, "We're over half done and none of these have been really gross... Well except..."
Everyone looked at Raelynn's picture and everyone knew that only Lawrence, Duke, and Katharine could avoid it by doing their own fears.
"You know this game defeats the purpose of the original challenge." Luiza pointed out.
"Yeah but the network doesn't like it when we repeat ourselves too often." Chris replied with a shrug, "We're almost done, keep your thoughts to yourself."
Luiza crossed her arms and frowned as Duke spun the wheel which rotated into a blur before coming to a clicking halt on Raelynn's picture.
"Wanna get covered in blood?" Chris asked with a smirk.
"Nope, I'll do my own fear thank you very much." Duke replied while crossing his arms and shaking his head.
"Okay then." Chris shrugged as a very small man entered the room, "Meet professional Canadian wrestler Tiny Typhoon."
"Why do they call him that?" Duke asked before the guy grabbed him and flung him to the ground pressing Duke's face into it and holding his arm behind his back, Duke yelped in pain and growled.
"Just swallow your pride and admit defeat." Chris ordered.
"NEVER!" Duke yelled and tried to get up but the small guy bashed him back down. Duke jumped up and the guy clung to his back and held him in a chokehold while Duke tried to throw him off. Duke roared angrily and snatched him by the leg before hurling him at the wall where he landed gracefully and came to a halt next to Chris.
"Wow, you lose." Chris laughed, "That was as quick as I expected it to be."
"But I won." Duke complained.
"True, but your challenge was to admit defeat, not to win." Chris replied with a smirk, "You knew that too."
"URGHHH!' Duke yelled clutching his face and looking peeved.
"Smooth move Duke." Katharine commented.
"Bite me." Duke ordered with a sneer as he sat down.
"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" A muffled scream yelled from the broom closet and Winston came tumbling out red in the face and panting, "I am never doing that again!"
"That sucks, because you were ten seconds off finishing." Chris explained making Winston freeze up while his team glared at him, "I thought you wanted the nice cabin man!"
"I hate you so much!" Winston muttered, "You heterosexual animal!"
Winston sat angrily and Chris dug into his hat again and pulled out a crumpled slip of paper.
"Lydia, get your distracted butt up here and spin the wheel." Chris explained.
"Did you know wheels were first used by the-" Lydia started.
"Don't care Harold." Chris replied and Lydia marched to the front and moved a strand of her blonde hair out of her eye and gave the wheel a massive spin and she sgtood back and watched the colours merge.
"This is so cool!' Lydia smiled her eyes glazing over in a daydream about the swirling vortex before her.
"And you get Serena's fear." Chris announced, "Which is ugly Christmas sweaters, the itchy variety... Lydia? Earth to Lydia!"
Chris frowned and snapped his fingers destroying la-la land and making Lydia blink and look around.
"You must wear this for the rest of the challenge." Chris announced handing her a very ugly and tacky sweater that smelled of dead animals and looked exceptionally itchy and had several tags on the inside of the collar.
"Fine." Lydia sighed taking the sweater and walking to the confessional to change into it.
Confessional
Lydia: I feels like a thousand needles brushing up against my back (Lydia shudders and adjusts the collar that looks way too tight for her despite the large sweater and her thin frame.)
Chris dove his hand into the hat, read the paper and looked up with a smile, "Katharine guess who gets to go now?! YOU!"
"Whatever Chris, you aren't funny." Katharine replied with a roll of her eyes as she walked to the front and gave the wheel a slight spin, it rotated once and ended up left of where it started.
"NO!" Katharine screamed seeing Raelynn's picture.
"You still have the option to take your own challenge and make someone else do it, which is go without makeup in public, AKA in this room with all the cameras." Chris explained making Katharine look shocked, "I'd say you have a tough choice ahead of you but we all know you aren't going to do either one."
"What makes you say that?" Katharine demanded, "I can't let Ariel stick me up, but I'm not getting covered in blood either."
"Okay then, it's your funeral, also you can't hide your face... MAKEUP!" Chris yelled and two interns ran in and held Katharine while they wiped off mascara, Eye shadow, foundation, fake tanner, blush, and whatever else they could get their hands on, also known as a disgusting amount of makeup that didn't look as pretty coming off as it did on Katharine.
"STOP!" Katharine screamed as the interns backed away, "I didn't say I accepted!"
"It's already off Katharine, You have to last, do you want someone to take our cabin?" Ariel asked making Katharine stiffen and sigh taking her seat, a ding sounded and her team's score went up to three.
"Our next contestant is Ace!" Chris exclaimed and Ace stood up and spun the wheel, it went around and around and eventually halted on Holly's picture, "Zombies."
"A movie, The Walking Dead, Gravity Falls? What version?" Ace asked curiously.
"This one!' Chris grinned as the door burst open and a zombie made a gurgling noise and began to stumble towards Ace. Holly screamed extremely loud and Raelynn looked like she about to puke but Ace just gave a battle cry and tried to jump forward but Chris grabbed her arm.
"What?" Ace demanded.
"You must let this actor, or maybe he is a zombie and you'll become one too, bite you." Chris explained.
Ace sighed and held out her arm, the 'Zombie' Bit her arm and after a ding sounded she kicked it in the crotch making the actor groan and fall to the floor.
"That was too good." Chris smiled sadistically as he threw Holly's picture behind him.
"Yeah, it was a riot." Donald replied sarcastically.
"Our next victim is Barbara!" Chris announced.
"Finally." Sensan sighed, "We all went at the start and haven't gone since."
Barbara walked to the wheel and gave it a rough spin, it whirled around for a few seconds before stopping on Lawrence.
"Lawrence fears... Murderers." Chris explained as an intern wheeled in a guy who looked like a criminal and was tied to a manual lift. He growled at Barbara and narrowed his eyes, "This is Jimmy Kim Farhampton, he was arrested for multiple homicides, Several hit and runs, and the deaths of seven people. To get this point, you must untie him and allow him to escape."
"WHAT?!" Barbara demanded, "No way am I doing that! He could kill everyone in this room, I forfeit my point just to keep Canada safe from this maniac."
"You guys are lame." Chris commented as an Intern untied the guy, "Get lost Nathan!"
"I'll get back to work!' he grinned revealing he was an intern.
Confessional
Barbara: How was I supposed to know the psycho wasnt a real psycho?! Chris is such a maniac! ARRGH!
Chris pulled out a slip of paper and grinned at Luiza who groaned in response.
"No use delaying it." Sensan stated.
"I know." luiza sighed, "I just wish I was able to-"
"LET'S GO!" Chris ordered interupting her and making her scowl at him, She marched to the front and spun the wheel which was dividing into four even areas, Wilbur, Raelynn, Winston, and George. Everyone knew the horror of Raelynn's fear but who knew what the other three held.
The wheel clicked to a stop on Winston and Chris grabbed the card.
"Homophobic rallies." Chris read.
"How do you even face that?" Luiza demanded.
"You must not say anything for forty seconds." Chris explained handing her a sign that read: God loves gays.
"What am I to-" Luiza started before the door opened and several people waked in with signs against gays, the moment they spotted Luiza their stares hardened and the circled her.
"What do we have here?" One of them asked.
"I will rip out your throat." Luiza growled before a buzzer sounded.
"And you lose!' Chris smiled, "That was wy too quick."
Luiza chucked the sign to the floor and punched one of the guys in the face before Chef pushed them all out the door.
"Who's left?" Serena asked while scratching herself very often.
"Lawrence, Ariel, and Sensan." Chris replied shaking the hat and drawing a new name, "Sensan, you may now spin the wheel of fear and mistrust."
"Do I have to?" Sensan asked with a sigh.
"Yes, and being team leader I assume you'll take the initiative and show some leadership skills." Chris pointed out.
Sensan walked to the front and spun the wheel, it came to a halt on George.
"George fears snakes, so in order to get a point you must pick up this snake." Chris explained as Chef wheeled in a snake in a tank with a moderately sized snake in it.
"Pssh, easy, I own a snake." Sensan shrugged walking to gthe tank and lifting out the snake with trained ease.
"Well thats a point for your team." Chris smiled before noticing something at team Juggernaut's table, "GREAT JUMPING BEANS!"
"What?" Lydia asked before noticing the red rash forming under the sweater. She screamed and hurled it off revealing red rash all over her skin, "AHHH!"
"CHEF WE NEED OINTMENT!" Chris yowled and Lydia was helped up by Chef while she scratched her rash excessively while making whimpering sounds. When she had left Chris looked at her team, "Unfortunately she took off the sweater and you guys lose that potential point."
Chris then looked at The Warshippers and they all cringed at his gaze.
"I'll be seeing you guys at the elimination ceremony... Again. But now we have a tie breaker to solve." Chris smiled plucking Wilbur's picture off the board and tearing it in half, "Someone's getting doused in blood, because that is way better than sitting in the dark for an hour. Lawrence, Ariel, I have before me a bucket of blood that has been tested and will not cause any harm or spread any disease, first one to come up her and dump it on their head wins the challenge for their team."
Lawrence stiffened and his hands gripped the table so tightly splinters went into his hands.
"No way is anyone doing that." Conner gagged.
"You don't have to-" Jay started but Ariel stood and began marching to the bucket.
"I didnt put up with four years of braces, glasses with such big frames they made me look liek something from the thirties, getting teased for red hair, not doing well in school up until Sr. High, Give birth, and somehow hold my life together and set up my future all the while dealing with a crying baby just to give into a dumb challenge like this on a show for a million dollars!" Ariel exclaimed before dumping the bucket over her head and gaging a little.
Team Bush burst into excited cheering whil Team Juggernaut shrugged at their position, it wasnt going to hurt them. However Thhe Warshippers were all looking utterly depressed and mad at themselves over their performance.
"How does it feel to suck so much!" Joe taunted with a laugh.
"Not very good." Wilbur sighed letting his head hit the table.
Confessional
Ariel: I think I'm kind of a hero now for doing that, my team probably won't eliminate me next time we lose because of this! I am so pumped, and I feel sticky, I need a shower... now. (Static cuts her off.)
"We'll be keeping our cabin Chris." Conner explained and Chris nodded in acceptance.
"Team Juggernaut, nothing for you, although I would suggest that someone seach for the invincibility statue for once." Chris explained.
"Yeah, can we have a clue that is in english please?" Joe asked.
"It is in engish genius." Raelynn replied in deadpan, "you've just got to solve the riddle and you're golden."
"And Warshippers, one of you has spent your last night on Total Drama Island, I will see you at sundown where your six will become five." Chris concluded before nodding and taking his leave, almost everyone filed out and Serena walked over to Luiza's table just as most of her teammates were leaving.
"Lets talk at the cabin." Holly suggested from next to Barbara, "We need to strategize."
"Well today sucked." Serena smiled thinking back to the events of the day.
"Yeah, Blood, spiders, scary anime eyes, it had it all." Luiza nodded as she watched the emptying mess hal get emptier, "And having it all in this room was convinient."
"Well I'm sick of this place." Serena muttered.
"Ditto." Luiza agreed and the two girls walked out of the mess hall with very stoney expressions.
Confessional
Luiza: Well I'm going to go stare at a wall and rethink everything... Or I would if my team hadn't lost and I had to pick someone to go home.
Serena: I kind of feel bad for Luiza having gone to elimination three times but on the flip side I haven't gone once... So Score!
Forest
Ion was sitting under a large oak fiddling with his fingers and staring at the clouds, his hands felt naked without his guitar and he was just staying as far away from his teammates to shrink the target that had grown on his back. He didnt want to be out of the running and if he had to he would simply play his cards silently while the whole thing blew over, he needed a target though, someone to blame, he needed to find someone from his team and convince them someone else was worthy of their vote. Ion looked about for several seconds until he saw Holly walking casually to the confessional.
"HOLLY!" Ion called waving his hands wildly. Holly glanced at him and realized he was calling for her. She dashed forward and came to a halt in front of Ion looking suspicious. It was clear she was still sore from his earlier accusations.
"Can I help you?" She asked blinking her eyes innocently.
"Know who I should vote for?" Ion asked casually.
"Well I was you 'd vote for whoever stole my guitar, but since we have no idea who that is I'd say Barbara." Holly explained.
"BUt she clearly isn't going home." Ion replied with a sigh.
"True... Then vote for whoever did the worst in the challenge." Holly chirped shile shooting him a smile.
"Question, do you hate me?" Ion asked curiously.
"Nope." Holly replied shaking her head, "I don't hate anyone."
Confessional
Holly: In public...
"Thanks." Ion nodded and Holly dashed off, his eyes narrowed with thought and he decided on something, "I need to search through this camp, a guitar isnt that easy to hide well."
Ion stood and brushed his pants off in case any pine needles were stuck to them and he walked confidently off towards his own cabin. The moment he left Holly peeked out from behind a large rock.
"The seeds of doubt have been planted." Holly grinned as she began workshopping her next move.
Cabin porch
"Well, it's nice to see most of you showed up." Sensan explained to the three people in front of him, Luiza, Barbara, and Wilbur.
"How are we supposed to strategize in front of one another?" Luiza asked holding her hands up, "That kind of defeats the purpose of strategy."
"We arent here to strategize, we're here to purge this team of the weakest link." Sensan replied, "Whoever is causing the most problems."
"The weakest link isnt always the one with the most defects." Luiza replied, "Sometimes that's the strongest link."
"Well who completed their challenge today?' barbara asked.
"Me and Holly." Sensan replied.
"There you go, we just narrowed it down to four choices." Barbara stated crossing her arms.
"B-But you're one of th-those choices." Wilbur stammered like she was going to slap him.
"Have you seen Ion's behavior lately? This morning he was so angry." Barbara explained, "I restrained myself."
"To be fair he had goood reason." Sensan argued.
"Yeah, this once, he purposefully picks fights and lets not forget him throwing challenges." Barbara explained before being distracted by Wilbur's quick motions, "Do you have to pee or something?!"
"Yes." Wilbur nodded.
"THEN GO PEE!" Barbara yelled and Wilbur dashed off as quickly as possible, "Geez that kid is annoying at times."
"Anyway i agree, Ion is a very loose cannon, sad to say it but I think we should vote him off." Luiza stated.
"Let's just look at it guys, Sure Ion and Barbara fight all the time but Wilbur is afraid of his own shadow and is a terrible performer in challenges. Barbara and Ion may still be saved if they get out of each other's faces. I say we eliminate the guy who's just distracting from our main goal of making those two get along." holly stated as she walked up on the conversation.
"You want us to eliminate Wilbur?" Sensan asked.
"Yeah." Holly replied, "Has he done anything to forward our team period?"
"No..." Luiza trailed.
"Ion is at least helpful when we have individual challenges and thats more than I can say for Wilbur." Holly explained taking a seat, "Kylee wouldn't have kept him so why are we?"
"... Good point." Sensan nodded, "Do we still not know who tampered with those votes?"
"My bet is on Tania." Holly replied dryly while her eyes shifted to a ry mud puddle near the steps that had a corner of dirty paper sticking out from it.
"I can't vote out Wilbur." Sensan stated, "He hasnt done anything wrong!"
"He hasnt done anything right either." Luiza argued, "I say we disband and think about it."
"Agreed." Sensan nodded and he turned and walked towards camp.
"I didn't know you were into strategy Holly." Barbara pointed out after he had left.
"Oh... Er... I just thought of what Kylee would do and went with that." Holly replied awkwardly.
Confessional
Holly: Wilbur knows of my false personality so he needs to go, that's how you play the game, play your cards before anyone else can.
Luiza: Ion or Wilbur? Which one is more useless and annoying?
Wilbur: I'm going to vote for Holly, she's very scary and I'm starting to guess whe messed with the votes on day one. It just adds up. Plus she might be gunning for me, so I have to be careful.
Camp
Sensan walked aimlessly through camp thinking about the upcoming elimination when Lawrence stumbled out of the bushes and started walking beside him.
"HI!" Lawrence greeted matching Sensan's pace, "Sensan is it?"
"Yes." Sensan nodded realizing this was the first time since the dock he had talked to Lawrence, "How are you?"
"Oh good, good..." Lawrence trailed falling into silence.
"You don't have to hide the fact you're rich from me." Sensan instructed making Lawrence gasp and regain his formal complexion.
"Wha- I mean, rich? What are you talking about?" Lawrence asked while grinning suspiciously and putting his hands in his pockets.
"Dude, you aren't very god at hiding it." Sensan replied before dropping the subject, "Anyway was there any particular reason you came over here?"
"Not really, I just saw you walking by yourself and thought, I dunno, maybe you wanted some company." Lawrence shrugged.
"Maybe you can help by adding an outside opinion." Sensan stated, "I have a choice on who to eliminate tonight, we've decided me and Holly are safe but that leaves four choices."
"Well who don't you get along with?' Lawrence asked.
"I get along with just about everyone when they aren't causing a problem." Sensan explained.
"Who causes the most problems then?" Lawrence asked, "Vote for them."
"Barbara and Ion." Sensan replied with a sigh, "But I promised Ion I wouldn't vote for him."
"Then vote Barbara." Lawrence replied.
"It isn't that easy." Sensan replied,
"Yes it is." Lawrence argued.
"You don't know the weight that this vote carries, you don't realize how scary it is to know you could go next." Sensan shouted.
"Okay man, whatever, the final choice is your though." Lawrence replied backing away slightly and walking off leaving Sensan alone again.
Confessional
Sensan: Wilbur, Barbara, Ion, Or Luiza. Who to vote off, who to vote off... So much can change in a short amount of time so something must be brewing in order to keep us in check.
Team Juggernaut cabin
Raelynn was throwing a ball in the air repetitively while lying on her bed while Ace studied the riddle they had to solve to find the invincibility statue.
"It doesn't make sense." Ace sighed sitting back, "Where the sun and moon both shine and the river enters two, two friends leave and dark figures claw at me."
"Well when you figure out a riddle things are rarely what they seem, however in this case we can assume the spot we're looking for is near where the river is formed by two streams but that second one branches off and pools into that little pond." Raelynn explained.
"Yeah, that was one of the places I was thinking but at the same time the sun and the moon shining down on the same place..." Ace trailed.
"My guess is the dark figures are shadows and that they claw at a spot that is probably free of shadow at a specific time during both the day and night." Raelynn explained, "But it's very vague and doesn't give clues as to when this happens."
"Maybe someone should go and wait down there in the morning." Ace suggested.
"It should be either you or me." Raelynn replied, "I don't trust Donald, there's just something very sneaky about him."
"I wholeheartedly agree." Ace nodded, "I wouldn't trust the guy as far as I could throw him, Maybe you and me should form a pact."
"Cool." Raelynn nodded, "You do realize that means we vote as one unit at the next elimination ceremony though?"
"Yep." Ace nodded, "I realize the consequences, We should find someone else to add for right now, someone who could be useful..."
"Let's wait and see." Raelynn replied, "Because if we keep winning we'll be unstoppable."
"True." Ace nodded, "Let's search after the challenge tomorrow."
Confessional
Ace: Who knew Raelynn was good at riddles, or that good at catching things.
Raelynn: I used to make stuff up while me and my mom waited for the bus, I decided to basically turn every station into an exciting riddle. So yeah, riddles are kind of my thing. What I didn't tell Ace however was that the line where two friends leave was a signal that we had to dig where the light shone down and split into two paths, so unless she has me there with her she isn't finding it.
Bonfire Pit
The sun had just sunk below the surface of the water leaving camp at the mercy of the bonfire and torches seeing as clouds had rolled in signalling a rainy day for their next challenge, a muddy, rainy day. Chris stood at his makeshift podium with a tray of only five marshmallows in hand. An intern held an umbrella over his head while everyone else was at the mercy of their hands if it did indeed start raining. Everyone sat awkwardly at the bonfire, knowing they were basically screwed at the next challenge. Not everyone was decided yet and this vote was bound to be quite random. Ion in particular looked worried and per the norm Wilbur was so stressed out his fingernails were almost nonexistent.
"Well Warshippers, I can safely say that three losses in five days is not a very good start and that unless Team Bush falls behind to match you guys, you're basically all going home." Chris explained, "Anybody know why you did so poorly in the challenge today?"
"Because I was distracted." Ion stated, "Someone swiped my guitar."
"Really, you do realize people will vote for you now right?" Chris asked with a small snicker, "Wilbur are you thinking you'll go home?"
"I always do." Wilbur whimpered, "All the time, I've been so stressed I've lost five pounds!"
"Er... Okay then." Chris grinned, "Luiza, who is safe tonight?"
"Holly and Sensan." Luiza replied before thunder rumbled and a light flash blinded them and it began to rain.
"Nice and symbolic." Chris grinned, "It's time to boot one of you before my shoes get ruined, Holly you're up first."
Holly stood and walked in the rain to the confessional
Confessional
Holly: I vote for Wilbur, He knows way too much to be safe around, plus he sucks at this game and deserves to go home.
Luiza: I can either vote with Holly and eliminate Wilbur or I can eliminate Ion... What to do what to do.
Ion: (He holds up a vote for Barbara.) I have no idea if you touched my guitar or not but you still get my vote, you should've left on day one, not Kylee.
Sensan: (He's staring at the paper and blinking rapidly while looking undeceive.) I vote for- (Static cuts him off.)
Chris was handed a slip of paper and read it over before putting it down and looking over The Warshippers while the fire hissed and died from the rain creating spooky and extended shadows.
"If you do not have your name called and do not receive a marshmallow you must immediately walk the dock of shame and board the boat of losers, and you're off your team and lose the chance at the million." Chris explained looking at all the campers, "Tonight I can say that Sensan is safe."
Sensan gave a sigh of relief and had the marshmallow thrown at him.
"... Luiza." Chris smirked throwing a second one to the girl. She caught it and grinned, "Ion."
"yes!" Ion cheered standing up and grabbing the marshmallow off the plate.
"Holly." Chris continued and Holly dashed forward and grabbed the larger of the two remaining marshmallows.
Barbara and Wilbur exchanged a nervous glance as Chris picked up the last marshmallow. Barbara looked worried while Wilbur chomped n his nails rapidly.
"One of you has spent your last night on Total Drama Island..." Chris trailed, "The final marshmallow goes to...

... Barbara." chris concluded tossing the marshmallow to Barbara who caught it happily. Wilbur gasped in shock and looked utterly surprised, "Looks like being too cowardly to get a haircut backfired huh?"
"Sorry buddy." Luiza apologized.
"Have fun at the Playa." Holly added but her waving made Wilbur freak out and run to the boat of losers without looking back.
Chris looked at The shrunken Warshippers for an answer and Sensan just shrugged. The boat pulled away and Wilbur looked absolutely ecstatic to be leaving, as if he was ready for whatever awaited him.
"Well Warshippers, looks like even though we all know what your biggest conflict is you still chose to keep the team strong, let's see if it turns out good or harms you in the long run." Chris explained as the team stood up, "I'd say good luck tomorrow but let's be serious. You guys suck."
"We kind of do." Barbara admitted with a sigh.
Confessional
Sensan: I chose to vote for Barbara over Ion, and then over Wilbur, I didn't like seeing him go when he did absolutely nothing wrong, but that's the game I guess, better someone weak getting blamed than me, the head of the team. We're a wreck and I have no idea what can fix it.
Barbara: Once again I was in the bottom two, this is really becoming a problem now isn't it? I need to step up my game in order to survive the next elimination ceremony.
Luiza: Well that went surprisingly smooth, now we just need to hope for a challenge that doesn't require teamwork.
Warshipper's cabin
Barbara dumped her bag on the step and sat down as her team filed onto the porch after her. Everyone looked gloomy and upset and their dwindling numbers was cause for a major case of depressed groaning and sad looks.
"We need to pull ourselves together.' Barbara sighed.
"How?!" Ion demanded kicking the post holding the roof over their heads and preventing them from getting even more soaked from the rain, "We're a wreck! Even if me and you try to be nice to one another we still screw up and end up scrapping, we're weak, we had Kylee kicked off the first episode! What are we doing?!"
"I don't know." Luiza sighed putting her head in her hands, "We're a wreck, Team Bush is at least getting along, we however can't do anything without fighting."
"We can't just give up." holly exclaimed, "We can still pull through! We just need to keep the problems away from the challenge, We need to put them to the side and focus on the game itself."
"It's a little hard to see us accomplishing anything." Luiza commented dryly.
"Holly's right though, let's try to win tomorrow." Sensan exclaimed.
"I've had enough sulking for one night." Ion commented as lighting flashed and thunder rumbled in the distance and he turned and entered the cabin slamming the door as he went.
"Yeah, I'm done with feeling sorry for myself too, see you guys in the morning." Luiza nodded going to her side.
"Who knows, maybe the next challenge will be custom built for us." Barbara shrugged patting Sensan on the shoulder before following Luiza into the cabin. Sensan just walked to the railing and sighed.
"It isn't your fault Sensan, maybe Barbara's right." holly shrugged.
"This team is breaking me." Sensan sighed putting his hands over his face as lightning flashed illuminating an excited grin on Holly's face, "I don't know if I can keep going and holding this team together."
"Well, let's try and win tomorrow, that's all we can do." Holly replied while backing away.
"Kylee could have kept us going." Sensan sighed and Holly looked out at the mud puddle that held the real ballets, she had t remember to hide them better once she got a chance.
"You're doing fine, "Don't change a thing, just keep moving forward and you'll be fine." Holly explained opening the door, "Try to get some sleep alright?"
"I'll try." Sensan sighed fiddling with his thumbs as Holly walked away humming to herself happy that her teammate was breaking down.
Confessional
Holly: Making Sensan break is a major accomplishment for me, if he goes down that means Luiza is in charge and I've been buddying up with Luiza and I think she considers me a vote she can count on. If we lose again I'm putting my plan in motion to either eliminate Ion or Sensan, the two other girls are controllable and dealing with them should be easy. But for now I'm going to keep laying low and take out people when the time comes, like how I caused all of the outcomes of our team's eliminations.
Ion: I am done, Tomorrow better turn out better or I might just have to quit! this game sucks and its not just because I'm on a team with Barbara or that we keep losing, I shouldn't have even signed up, My albums could get me by...
Team Juggernaut cabin
"wow she falls asleep really quickly." Ace commented as she looked down at Raelynn who had passed out and was sleeping like a rock.
"Yeah, she sure falls asleep quickly and sporadically, like my cat cheekums, he was once sleeping in the motor of my mom's car and she started it and he lost half his tail and ran into walls a lot. But he was okay until he died last year. But we got a new cat named Nacho and he has the cutest little-" Lydia rambled before Ace covered her mouth.
"Stop talking." Ace ordered with a sigh while Serena pushed the last of the curtain that separated the boys and the girls to the side when a arm grabbed her and dragged her to the other side.
"What?" Serena asked looking about before she was handed a wildflower by a grinning Joe, "Oh hi Joe."
"So I was wondering if you wanted to meet together in the forest tomorrow for some quality time." Joe grinned while bouncing his eyebrows up and down.
"Look Joe, you're nice and all, and it was sweet that you decided to get your nails done with me, but can we just be friends?" Serena asked with an awkward grin, "Luiza said that if things aren't working I should call it off before we get too far-"
"Luiza knows nothing." Joe replied sounding angry, "We barely know one another that's why! Why don't you and I meet tomorrow and just talk, without Luiza, you spend a lot of time with her and if we're going to try and make this work you have to sacrifice some time with your friends in order for us to work."
"... Okay... I guess..." Serena trailed awkwardly.
"Good, now have a good night." Joe smiled before pushing her back to her side and Serena's eyes widened upon seeing every single girl from her team including Raelynn who had been asleep looking like they'd just been eavesdropping.
"Uh..." Serena started.
"You guys are the first hook up of the season." Ace grinned happily, "So cute!"
"Wasn't Joe just forcing her to pick between-" Raelynn started but was quickly silenced.
"We're going to make sure you have the right clothes for the meeting, something not too revealing and not to conservative, a nice middle ground will do." Lydia grinned while Raelynn scowled and returned to her bed while the others discussed what type of shirts she should wear.
"Ugh, girls." Raelynn muttered before pulling her hood up and trying to fall back to sleep.
Confessional
Serena: Was Joe trying to keep me away from Luiza? Nah, he just said I have to spend time with him... I'm still not sure if I'm okay with this whole boyfriend girlfriend thing, I think we'd get along better as friends... Yikes I sound like I'm trying to shove him into the friendzone.
"What are you doing?' Lawrence demanded as Joe climbed into the bunk above Donald.
"What do you mean what am I doing?" Joe demanded narrowing his eyes like Lawrence was a threat.
"You should let her decide not force your choice on her." Lawrence explained.
"Lawrence, Lawrence, Lawrence, don't you know that you need to push at the start of a relationship, if you don't give that first shove then how will they know whether you're for them or not?" Joe asked with a shrug.
"That's true but you seem pretty mad that she mentioned Luiza." Lawrence replied.
"It's because they're secretly-" Winston began but Lawrence threw a pillow at him before he could continue.
"I know Luiza's type, she's trying to get allies outside her team for when we merge, she clearly won't have numbers and making sure that I keep Serena away from her is crucial." Joe explained, "Plus I asked her out and we need to make this relationship work so she needs to spend a lot of time with me or the audience will keep forgetting we're a couple."
"Joe, I really could care less about who you date so long as we keep winning." Donald commented, "So get your head in the game, that should be your priority seeing as you and your other half are both safe if that happens."
"Whatever." joe scoffed, "We're not losing anytime son and even if we do we all know it won't be one of us guys going home."
"Your cockiness annoys us all." Donald muttered before turning over.
Confessional
Donald: I think Joe is one of my picks if I can't convince anyone to eliminate Ace. He's way too confident with our team and lately he hasn't been trying that hard because he's realized others will pick up his slack. Today that was painfully shown and we could pay the price for it in the future.
Joe: I know a thing or two about this game already, Donald for one is way more deceptive than he appears and there a select few others that are starting to show their true colours.
Team Bush Cabin
"So how was that for a good day?!" Ariel asked Conner with a laugh as she braided her hair before bed, "We've come full circle and are back in the winners corner."
"Yeah well... We have to get them to lose a member before we know for certain if we're better than them or not." Conner replied as he read through a magazine and threw it to the table.
"We need someone like Kylee or Donald to be that way for sure, wait doesn't Duke fill that slot for us?" Ariel asked while she added an elastic to the end of her braid and let it go.
"Yeah Duke is our Ace." Conner smiled, "Pun intended."
"Whatever makes you feel comfortable." Ariel shrugged, "I myself happen to have noticed a few sideways glances from him at you. There's something off about him."
"He wants to be in charge." Conner shrugged while leaning back, "And the only thing between him and that is-"
"You." Ariel interrupted, "I've noticed, and truth be told the only thing keeping him here is the fact Ace and Donald are on Team Juggernaut, Kylee was already eliminated so if they lose those two we're golden and can get him out of here. However imagine if we get a merge to take us down to two teams, what happens then?"
"He'll gun for me so long as I'm the only one between him and victory." Conner stated with a sigh, "I need to make an alliance."
"Done." Ariel commented while fiddling with her braid, "I see no negatives with working with you. So long as you stop being so mean to George, he's shown his worth."
"Ariel, me and him do not see eye to eye." Conner explained like a father telling a son why he works the job he does.
"Because you won't let it happen." Ariel commented, "The deal is that I will work with you so long as it's for the benefit of the team and of course later the benefit of getting us to the finals."
"So you're saying-" Conner started.
"Katharine is next to go, you help me get her out then you can target George. Trust me when I say that the way he's been getting buddy buddy with the other teams worries me a little gamewise. What happens if there's a team swap and he's just surrounded by an intricate web of allies and I'm in the dust, but I will work with you as long as Katharine is the next to go." Ariel explained, "And that's not because of our petty feud, it's because she's a very lazy, very annoying, and very fake teammate who seems to be willing to do anything to win."
"Fine, that's a small price to pay for safety from Duke's scheming, Let me know if he tells you anything." Conner ordered.
"Fine." Ariel shrugged before stretching and shooting a nasty glare at Conner who was staring at her chest. He quickly averted his eyes while Ariel picked up her book and trotted upstairs with a matter of fact pace.
"If I didn't have a girlfriend..." Conner trailed while watching his redheaded teammate leave. he then froze and looked at the camera awkwardly.
Confessional
Conner: (He's rubbing the back of his head while staring at the camera nervously.) Sorry Jacquelyn, I didn't mean to stare at her... Although she seemed kind of peeved about that... (Conner grows deep in thought.) Could the fact that she has a child and the way she usually dresses be a sign that she doesn't enjoy people idolizing her body over her mind. Just a leftover fragment of her embarrassing title of teen mom? Maybe I can exploit this later down the road, I mean not me personally but people like Joe and Ion will surely be easily tempted. Heh, actually thank you wandering eyes, you just gave me a ticket out of bringing her to the final two. Jacquelyn, that redhead is going down and there is no way she is standing between me and a million dollars!
Ariel: Meh, I really could care less about Conner, but for now I need to get allies turned against Katharine. That annoying childish brat is so useless and acts like such a drama queen I can only hope everyone votes her off before me. But as for Conner I'd much rather work with someone who isn't a knifing little jerk, Sure he's smart but I'd much rather work with trustworthy people like Jay and George, or when we finally reach the merge someone from another team. I'm not afraid to get villainous and backstab some people, but rest assured that I will play this game as fairly as I can.
Dock of Shame
"Now that we have five players off at boney Island I must say that sparks will fly tomorrow when one of the ousted campers finally gets back and let's just say that a few of them are peeved at their former teammates. In the Total Drama Tradition we'll be bringing campers back to the competition, but whether they change the game or get eliminated the moment they get back will only be told by time. So join us next time for a special episode of Total Drama Boney Island." chris explained, "Where you'll see Kylee, Veegie, Tania, Jarvis, and Wilbur compete head to head in a daring competition for a second shot at this game and to become the reward in the next challenge. So keep your eyes peeled for the next exciting addition to Total Drama Boney island!"
Boney Island
The boat came to a halt and Wilbur looked up and nearly wet his pants upon seeing the skull rock that was facing him.
"NO!" Wilbur screamed, "What am I doing her?!"
Chef walked out of the cabin and lowered a board to a nearby rock before throwing Wilbur's bag onto it. He then pushed Wilbur over the board, pulled it back and drove back to Wawanakwa without a word.
"I'm in my happy place, I'm in my happy place, I'm in my- SCREW IT!" Wilbur screamed before running as fast as he could down the beach while crying. There was light from a fire and he dove into it gratefully only to look up and see Kylee, Tania, Jarvis, and Veegie looking at him curiously.
"Fraidy cat arrived sooner than I expected." Tania laughed.
"Looks like I owe you my rations." Kylee laughed before tossing a can of beans at Tania who caught it happily.
"What are we doing here? Why aren't we at that nice danger free playa?" Wilbur asked before a loud screeching sound was heard and he jumped into Kylee's arms.
"Because we get a second shot at the game." Kylee replied throwing him to the ground, "Now pull up a rock and you can have some beans."
"I don't want a second shot though!' Wilbur whined, "I just Wanna go home!"
"Too bad!" Jarvis yelled in a voice that sounded drunk, "You have to compete or DIE!"
"Jarvis!" Kylee ordered, "That's enough!"
"You're no fun!" Jarvis yelled.
"And you're a homeless loser!" Kylee retorted, "Hit me again with an insult and see what happens!"
"I can't wait to be off this island." Tania sighed while rubbing her temples.

George was staring at the static left on the screen while he looked around looking slightly bored. he rattled the locked door but it didn't budge. He sighed and checked his watch, it had been hours and no one had even come for him. He sighed again and looked at the camera.
"This is stupid!" George commented before the screen faded to black.
Authors note
My first non split chapter that in hindsight should've been split but oh well! What can I do now?! I actually enjoyed writing this chapter so much I put everything else on hold while I did it. I dunno, I think it's the fact I've hit my first landmark, five players down and the first Boney Island battle upcoming. What can I really say though, I put a twist on the Phobia Factor challenge and made them face one another's fears. Team Bush pulled ahead surprisingly and not surprisingly Team Juggernaut extended their winning streak. Will they ever lose a member? Well they have to eventually... Somewhere before the final seven are confirmed. HAH!
But Alas poor Wilbur, I knew him, reading Audience, a fellow of Panaphobia, the fear of everything. Many a time his screaming from nightmares woke his team and made them grumpy the next day. He knew of Holly's secret and she had him gone before he could spill it and have her gone before dawn. But enough of that, next time you get to see the anger! The hardship, and the ultimate prize, getting back in the game! Who will win?
QOTHC: Kylee, Jarvis, Veegie, Tania, and Wilbur, who do you think will win the challenge next chapter?
Next Time: We head to Boney island to see which of the ousted campers will be making a return. (Note that this chapter will be very short compared to others.) (Followed by adapting Shakespeare plays into shortened versions.) (This is followed by an interview chapter for the four ousted contestants that are no longer with us getting their last bits of front screentime before we move on.)
