It was now the next day and Eva entered her room having completed her routine morning run.
"I needed that, just wish I had my MP3 player so it wasn't so boring," she said as she stretched out her arms and legs. "Time for me to hit the shower and wind down."
Eva tested the bathroom door only to find it was locked. Listening closely she could hear the water was already running, albeit lightly.
"Must be Izzy," she thought out loud before getting a fresh set of cloths from the cupboard behind her.
5 minutes passed.
Eva grumbled silently.
Another 5 minutes passed.
"Dammit Izzy will you hurry up in there?" said Eva as she pounded on the locked door before heading towards her bed to sit down.
"Leave Izzy to sleep," said Izzy groggily from her hammock.
"Izzy?" exclaimed Eva as she saw the redhead's hammock swing slightly. "If you're here then who's in the shower?"
"Ozzycus," said Izzy lazily pointing over to Ozzy's empty bed without bothering to look up.
"I should have known it would be him keeping me waiting," raged Eva as she stomped angrily over to the shower. "You've got 3 seconds to get out of there!" she yelled at the door.
"Hold ya horses Eva, almost done," said Ozzy from inside.
"One," she began. "Two," she said lifting a foot up ready to kick the door.
"No wait, don't," pleaded Ozzy to no avail.
"Three," said Eva as she brought her foot forward. "You better not have used all the hot…" began Eva before she stopped dead and looked into the bathroom with eyes as wide as saucers.
"I'll thank ya to be more patient in future," said Ozzy as he walked over to the door with a scrubbing brush in hand and closed it back over indignantly.
Eva slowly turned and walked over to her bed, eyes still wide.
"Izzy?" said Eva as she slowly sat down.
"Can't Bathrobicus the Romanian goddess of sleep stay in her realm of sleep?" said Izzy half heartedly.
"Later, do you happen to have any bleach I can borrow to pour in my eyes and on my brain?" asked Eva as her eyes returned to normal size.
"Silly Eva it's too early for a Scandinavian mind wipe," said Izzy as she sat up with bags under her eyes.
"Izzy do me a favour," said Eva as she lay down on her bed. "Next time you tell me Ozzy's in the bathroom, let me know he's got company."
"That girl can be a right pain sometimes, eh Zeke?" asked Ozzy as he walked back over to the bubble bath that Zeke was currently sitting in.
"Eh," growled Zeke while chewing on a lamb leg bone he had kept from the previous night's dinner.
"I mean honestly I coulda not been wearin me trunks or anythin," complained Ozzy as he gestured to the Union Jack swimming trunks he was wearing.
"Eh," stated Zeke as he offered Ozzy his chewed on bone.
"No mate, trunks, not bone," said Ozzy as he began scrubbing Zeke's bald head with the scrubbing brush in his hands.
"She was eliminated straight after ya in the first season, so ya spent a lot of time in that Playa place with her didn't ya?" asked Ozzy.
"Eh," growled Zeke while nodding.
"Has she always, turn around, been so…" Ozzy tried to think of an appropriate word, "…moody?"
"Eh," said Zeke offering Ozzy his back while rolling his eyes in a 'you don't know the half of it' manner.
"I've tried to build a bridge with that girl, I honestly have," said Ozzy scrubbing Zeke's back nonchalantly. "I stopped her from gettin disqualified, I took her to the ships spa, which she really enjoyed by the way, and I even gave her ya First Class pass so she could get back into the gym but still she doesn't seem interested in tryin to be friends."
"Eh?" said Zeke shooting Ozzy an indignant look.
"Oh don't worry mate, I got ya pass back," said Ozzy as he stopped scrubbing and went to fetch the bathrobe that was hanging on the door. "I just needed to give ya a wash first so people don't complain about the smell when Izzy and I take ya out later; we thought we'd enjoy the First Class passes a little bit more before Chris has to take them back at the second challenge tonight."
"Eh," growled Zeke dreamily as he imagined all the delicious food he could get.
"Speaking of Izzy," said Ozzy as he turned around with the bathrobe. "She wouldn't happen to be single would she?"
"So how does it taste?" asked Sadie as she watched everyone eating breakfast earnestly.
"Better than anything Chef ever made," said Courtney as she helped herself to more pancakes.
"I know, I keep telling the girl she has a gift," said DJ as he gave Sadie an approving smile. Sadie just giggled and blushed.
"Eh," growled Zeke from the end of the table.
"Sure thing, here you go Zekey," said Izzy as she handed him a plate of bacon.
"Eh," responded Zeke as he started eating it with his bare hands.
"Did we thank you for washing the runt?" asked Heather as she looked disdainfully at Zeke.
"About 4 times already," said Eva between mouthfuls of her breakfast while shooting Ozzy a wary look.
"Well thank you again, I swear his smell arrived 5 minutes before he did," said Heather as she finished her breakfast and stood up. "Anyway I'm off to catch some more rays; I think the hottie's are finally starting to pay attention to the gorgeous gal onboard."
"I know, I love all the attention they give me but I keep telling them I have a boyfriend already," said Lindsay putting her fork down.
"I meant me," said Heather storming off.
"You get too much sun and you'll end up in the Infirmary with sunburn," yelled Bridgette after Heather.
(confession cam)
"Suits me fine, some of those male nurses already make me burn up, never mind the sun," said Heather dreamily while fanning herself with a magazine.
(end cam)
"So you got any plans for your last few hours with a First Class pass?" asked Beth as she turned to Izzy.
"Well me and Zekey were gonna go hustle in the Pool hall. With his sharp teeth and my love of swimming we'll be perfect sharks," said Izzy as she started humming the Jaws theme while advancing on a lone pancake in front of her.
"They have pool here?" asked Cody excitedly. "Do they have billiards as well? Man I'd love to get access to that."
Sierra smiled as she got an idea.
"Are you sure you wont get in trouble for this?" asked Cody nervously as he and Sierra entered the Pool room.
"It doesn't matter even if I do Cody, you've been really nice to me since we got on this ship and I wanna thank you for it," responded Sierra as the pair slowly made their over to an empty Pool table
"But I heard Eva lost her First Class pass for what she did in the gym yesterday. I know you only have that pass til the second challenge tonight but I don't want you to lose yours because you snuck me in here," said Cody as his gaze shifted back and forth to the other patrons around.
"Well if anybody says anything I'll just say you're here because I'm injured and can't walk properly," said Sierra picking up a cue.
"Well I suppose it's not really a lie," grinned Cody while picking up his own cue.
"There you go Codykins," said Sierra smiling. "Now can I ask you a small, teensy, little favour?"
"Go ahead Sierra," said Cody as he set up the table.
"Could you show me how to play?" she asked as he gave her a surprised look.
"Well Katie, are you ready for your first lesson?" asked Noah as he handed her a pair of sunglasses.
"Ooh styley," she said putting them on.
"The correct answer is: I'm always ready boss," said Noah pinching the bridge of his nose.
"But how can I always be ready? I mean I might not be ready," said Katie she took the glasses off.
"Katie, the point of these lessons is to turn you into a great Personal Assistant. You live, sleep and breath for your boss' every whim," said Noah holding up an informing finger.
"Sounds quite kinky actually," giggled Katie as she blushed brightly.
"Katie, do you want to learn to be a good Personal assistant or not?" asked Noah getting slightly angry.
"Of course I do, I wanna be the perfect assistant for the Captain, he works so hard onboard this mighty vessel that he deserves somebody to help run his errands, fetch his drinks, rub those toned arms better," said Katie drifting off dreamily as she listed jobs.
"These are gonna be some long sessions," said Noah sighing.
"So what say you Zekey; do we be sharks in the pool or sharks at pool?" asked Izzy as Zeke followed behind her on his lead. For a change he was actually on 2 legs instead of all fours.
"Eh…eh…at," growled Zeke as he forced the word out.
"Ooh you're learning fast, Bathrobicus is a good teacher," smiled Izzy as the deck started to thud loudly.
"Hey Iz think you could do me a favour?" asked Owen as he ran up and caught the pair.
"What can we do ya for Big O?" asked Izzy as she spun on her heels before accidentally wrapping herself up like a Mummy in Zeke's lead.
"Uh Iz, do you need some help?" asked Owen as Izzy fell over while she struggled to get free.
"Nah, Bathrobicus is just being the Romanian goddess of S&M," said Izzy which caused Owen to go bright red.
"Eh?" growled Zeke.
"What's S&M?" translated Izzy. "It's when people tie each other up and get out the nipp…"
"Izzy keep it down," said Owen as he covered her mouth with his hand.
After a second he took his hand away.
"That's another thing used in S&M as well Zekey, gags," said Izzy as Owen panicked at the number of spectators the trio were drawing and ran off.
"Eh?" said Zeke calmly.
"I dunno Zekey, he must be late for something; anyhow, ahead to the Pool hall," shouted Izzy while lying on the floor still wrapped up. "Uh Zekey if ya wouldn't mind," she added.
"O…k, eh," said Zeke as he walked in the direction of the Pool hall while dragging Izzy behind him across the deck.
"Welcome shipmates it's time for your next challenge," said Chris as he gathered everyone by the large pool in their swimming costumes later that night.
"We don't have to go swimming in the pool do we?" complained Owen as he shivered. "I mean I only just ate."
"Dude, you've always 'only just ate'," said Noah looking over at the large teen.
"Why on Earth do we have to do these challenges so late at night?" asked Leshawna as she held on to Harold for whatever warmth he provided.
"We're stuck on this ship so the challenges have to involve what facilities they have onboard," explained Chris. "That means we have to wait till the late night lull when it's freezing cold out and the rest of the passengers hardly use them."
"Typical," said Courtney unhappily.
"Before I explain the challenge I'd like to ask Team Crazy Awesome to hand over their First Class Facility Passes," said Chris as Chef walked over with his silver patter again.
"At least I got to give my Codykins a treat," wailed Sierra as she dramatically handed her pass back.
Chef took one look at Eva's scowl and wisely gave her a wide berth.
"Izzy looks forward to getting this pass again," said Izzy throwing her pass at Chef.
"Win this challenge and it'll be all yours," said Chris not believing for an instant that Izzy was going to win.
"Here ya go mate," said Ozzy handing over his.
"Zeke's too," said Chris looking impatiently at him.
"I gave Zeke his own pass," said Ozzy as Zeke was sniffing at a blue cube in his hands.
"You did what?" asked Chris in a panicked tone while looking at Zeke.
"Eh, eh, eat?" said Zeke in a slightly growling tone.
"You ate it?" asked Chris incredulously. "Just fantastic, the Captain's gonna love that."
"Can we just hurry up and find out the challenge?" asked Lindsay as she felt especially cold in her bikini.
"Fine," said Chris as Chef returned with the 3 gold passes. "As you may be aware we're sailing on these lovely blue waves, up and down majestically. Bobbing back and forth on the foamy brine…"
"Can ya get to the point mate, ya makin me feel seasick," interrupted Ozzy as he went green slightly while covering his mouth with his hand.
"Sissy," chuckled Eva evilly.
"My point," said Chris not happy at being interrupted, "is that what every good ocean wave needs is a good ocean wave rider."
"As in Flow Rider," said Bridgette smiling as she appeared in a diving suit and carrying a foam board.
"Yes, as the ever concussed Bridgette has pointed out, the Flow Rider will be your second challenge," said Chris grinning as everyone groaned. "Shipmates must get on their board and ride the waves. The shipmate who stays on their board for the longest wins, the one who wipe-outs fastest…" Chris chuckled again, "…takes the Plunge of Peril. Oh and then there's the obstacles."
"Obstacles?" said Noah with a hint of concern.
Chef reappeared with an armful of inflatable beach balls and smaller, heavier buoys.
"Yes obstacles; to keep things interesting Chef's going to be throwing the occasional ball or buoy into people's paths. Those who hit the obstacles lose time from their total and those who avoid the obstacles gain time. Beach balls count for 1 second while buoys count for 2," explained Chris.
"So you could still win even if you don't stay on the longest; just so long as you avoid the most obstacles?" asked Harold.
"Yeah sure, let's go with that," said Chris shrugging. "Anyway shipmates we'll be going with descending numerical order of the bingo ball you drew 2 days ago to determine in what order you ride."
"Why can't we just draw the numbers again?" asked Justin.
"The Bingo Hall is currently in use; apparently the old people on this ship aren't interested in watching Total Drama Rescue and decided they wanted to play Bingo tonight," said Chris frowning.
(confession cam)
"Terrific, I don't wanna be one of the last riders," complained Justin. "Waiting so long like that makes me break out in hives." Justin rubbed his head to check his complexion
(end cam)
"Anyways that means that you're up first Sierra when we get back from commercial on Total… Drama… Rescue," emphasised Chris while raising his voice.
