20 LEFT! Still got a pretty long way to go folks but don't give up on me yet! :D I TOLD you I wouldn't abandon this and I haven't!
Disclaimer: I do not own Total Drama...sadly. And the challenge in this chapter was made up by MickeyMcFinnigan who got it from another reality show. Survivor, I think... Anyways let the games begin.
"Last time on Total Drama, we revisited yet another fan-favourite challenge: The Awake-a-Thon" Chris is seen standing on the dock. "After a 3-K run around the island and a delicious buffet the campers suffered through nearly 3 full days of sleep-inducing torture. In the end, the final two standing Lola and Alex faced off and ended up falling asleep at the same time, resulting in each team losing a member. After the most dramatic ceremony yet, Zoe and McKenna were sent packing." The camera shows McKenna and Zoe leaving together, then cuts back to Chris. "Who will be the next camper to be booted from the island, and what new drama will emerge? Find out now on Total! Drama! Return to Camp Wawanakwa!" *Camera fades out*
*Insert Theme Song*
The camera focuses on the woods surrounding the cabins. The early morning sun is beginning to rise, birds are chirping, everything seems at peace. The campers all remain blissfully asleep in their beds until -
"!"
Ahh, the familiar - yet annoying - sound of the intercom. The microphone groans as Chris's voice comes over the horn.
"Morning everyone! Gather in the messhall for breakfast and then clean yourselves up, then we can start today's fun little challenge! Get to it." One by one the 20 teens filed out of their respective cabins, either heading towards the communal washrooms or the mess-hall for breakfast first.
*Washroom*
A few I the guys; namely Finn, Andy, and Allen, stood outside waiting for the group of girls to finish up. Each of them looked about ready to go on themselves.
*Confessional*
Andy: "Ugh, what is it with chicks with taking so long in the bathroom? I'm pretty sure us guys were about to piss ourselves."
"So, what do you think our ever-so-'charming' host has in store for us today?" Chloe said brushing the knots out of her red locks.
"Who knows," Beeza cut in, "although, I've heard through the grapevine that our challenge today has something to do with puzzles and plenty of water; so I'm grabbing my swimsuit before breakfast." She said leaping into the shower. The girls sent her strange looks.
"Where did you hear that from?" Izzy asked crossing her arms.
"I like to keep my sources unknown, thank you."
"...Lemme' guess, you spied on Chris?" Alex intervened.
"Even if I did you have no proof against me." The spy shouted over the running water, unbeknownst to her teammate, a small grin spread across her face.
*Confessional*
Alex: Huh. If she's right about the challenge today, then...maybe "Agent Beezee" isn't a total nut-job after all. She may come in handy.
*Mess Hall*
Everyone sat around eating their usual gruel. Today was semi-burnt toast and eggs.
"Morning campers," Chris said coming in, "when you guys are done eating, grab your swimsuits and gather at the dock." Beeza grinned as she ran out the door, revealing her black bikini under her clothes, towards the lake while everyone else went back to the cabins to change. "Now that's enthusiasm!" Chris praised as Beeza ran past him.
*At the Dock*
The 19 teens rushed up as Chris, Chef, and Beeza waited for them.
"Alright, now that you're all in appropriate wear, it's challenge time. In the lake are some giant puzzle pieces. One at a time, members from each team will dive into the lake to retrieve a piece. They will then swim back and the next person will dive down to retrieve one. There are 8 pieces in total. After all the pieces have been collected, the teams will use the pieces to solve a word puzzle. First team to solve their puzzle, wins immunity, and a barrel containing ten bags of Rays Potato Chips and ten bottles of Cooky Cola!" The contestants cheered, as Chris continued.
"Also the pieces will be the following lengths under water: 1st piece: 2 feet, 2nd piece: 5 feet, 3rd piece: 8 feet, 4 piece: 10 feet, 5th piece: 15 feet, 6th piece: 18 feet, 7th piece: 20 feet, 8th piece: 25 feet. Take a minute to figure out whose diving and when before we start." Chris started a stop watch. You have 90 seconds."
The Beavers
"Okay, who thinks they can swim 25 feet under?" Crow asked.
"I got this." Izzy volunteered.
"I can swim the 20 feet one." Jackson spoke up.
"Okay then, Alice can you handle the 18?"
"I could do it for h-"
"I can do it Koda!"
"Liz, can you get the very first one?"
"Sure, I mean its only two feet under right?"
The Wasps
"I'll get the 25 foot piece." Allen volunteered.
"Be our guest dude, I'm getting the two foot piece."
"Afraid to go too deep Anthony?"
"Shut up Stone."
"Souun, can you get one?" The monk nodded.
"Time's up kids! Get ready... Set...GO!" Liz and Andy took off, easily grabbing the massive pieces from the shallow water. "Tonia go!" Liz gasped as she dragged the piece up. Souun wordlessly ran past the blond and swam out five feet to retrieve his piece. Deryck was already in the water before Lola had the chance to get going. After retrieving the pieces Deryck and Lola sent Finn and Beeza going.
*Confessional*
Finn: Wow, the Wasps were are really on their game today, which may be bad for my team, but hey, at least the Wasps might finally win one, they've had such a bad streak so far.
Agent Beezee: Glad to see my teammates really stepped it up, a few of them might have actually lasted in the spy academy.
The two teams were neck and neck as the final two dived in for the 25 foot deep pieces. Allen and Izzy quickly swam to towards the bottom of the lake and grabbed the huge pieces, struggling to swim back to shore.
*Confessional*
Izzy: Geez! What are those damn puzzle pieces made of? Lead?
The two near out of breath swimmers lugged the final pieces of the puzzle onto the shore as the teams immediately got to work. The Beavers were having issues trying to fit the pieces together, and the Wasps were...pretty much having the same luck. As they argued on where the pieces went; Souun stared hard at the assortment of pieces before he finally realized it. He tried getting his teammates attention, but to no avail. So he pushed past Alex and Beeza who were arguing over which piece went where and began piecing the thing together.
"Guys! I think Souun's got it!" Joe exclaimed as the rest of the team stopped arguing. Souun pointed out the piece he needed and Joe and Adriana quickly handed it over. Slipping in the last piece the Wasps and Souun stood back to read the puzzle. The word: TREASURE was spelled out in a thick blocky font.
"The Killer Wasps win!" The team cheered and hoisted Souun up in gratitude. "As a reward, the get chips and soda for a special treat as part of their own little lakeside party!" More cheers from the Wasps. "As for the Beavers, you're all still safe! It was just a reward challenge." A group sigh of relief passed among the 11 teens.
*Later at the Wasps party*
The 9 campers were quite enjoying their party reward. A few sat around the bonfire enjoying their chips and cola, while a some danced to the music. Joe and Adriana danced together, as did Stone and Alex - to which Andy sat glaring as he sat beside Souun, trying to read a book. Suddenly a note was passed to him from the monk.
Did Deryck go back to the cabin already?
Andy looked around the party and noticed the skater was missing.
*Meanwhile*
By the cliff at the other end of the beach Deryck leaned against a tree sharing his bag of chips with a certain redhead.
"So how long do ya think we'll have to keep sneaking out like this?"
"Probably, until the teams merge, that's my guess."
"If we make it that far, I don't like this sneaking out."
"Please, Chloe, you'll definitely make it to the merge. As for the sneaking out thing, it'll be alright, besides; at least this way we get some time alone..." Deryck smiled, scooting closer to Chloe resting his hand on hers. Chloe blushed hard as she handed the chips back and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Mmmm, you make a good point Deryck." Chloe sighed, intwining her fingers with his.
Oh my god its been so long. Well, Souun, Beeza, and a few others got more screen time and the Wasps finally won a challenge! :) Chloe and Deryck's little forbidden romance seems to be blooming. Aren't they cute!? Review please - again sorry for the wait.
