"Last time on Total Drama Fazbear Cruise, we made our second pit stop in a row. This time visiting Dublin, Ireland for an action packed Marionette specialty version of one of Ireland's most popular sports... Gaelic Football!" Marionette exclaimed "Teddy and Bon-Bon's weird detective case continued as they continued to stalk competitors from behind a trashcan in the dining hall. Adrian continued to try and mess with Cheek, only to be blown off as usual. Meanwhile, Bonnie tried to figure out why Cheek had been acting so strange lately, again, only to be blown off by the chicken. And Mike and Baby continued to not get any screen time, only appearing for two seconds in the dining hall." He continued "But in the end, after an incredible game of Gaelic football, with some incredible shots, steals, and plays. But in the end, after Freddy and Goldie showed the world that they can indeed get on the same page when it matters, Freddy scored the final goal, claiming victory for both Team Marionette is Really Really Really Hot and The Tyrants, and also sending The Standouts and The Strikers to the elimination ceremony where after a long day of romance for Teddy and Bon-Bon, when they fell love struck for Roxy's sister Moxie and her... hand puppet Bonnet, the lovely duo was broken up when Bon-Bon was sent packing" he finished.
"What'll happen this time?" Marionette asked "Find out right now on another exciting edition of..."
"Total..."
"Drama..."
"Fazbear..."
"CRUISE!"
(Cues Theme Music)
Teddy had been sitting in the dining hall all morning staring at his Bon-Bon-less paw with a very depressed look on his face. There was a black rain cloud hovering over him that was pouring with rain. None of the others knew how that was even remotely or logically possible.
He hadn't said a word to anyone since the elimination ceremony. After him witnessing Bon-Bon getting eaten by a shark and passing out, the others had to carry him back to his room. And he is by no means a light bear.
Max and Krystal had put their books down so they could go get some breakfast. They were looking for a place to sit, when they saw Teddy sitting alone. Max nudged Krystal and motioned over to Teddy, Krystal knew what Max wanted to do, so she nodded in agreement. The two then made their way over to Teddy's table and sat down.
"Hey, mind if we sit with you?" Krystal asked, Teddy didn't even acknowledge the fact that they were their. They sat down anyway "How ya feeling?" She asked. Again, Teddy didn't even acknowledge them.
"So Ireland was cool, right?!" Max asked happily. Again, no reply.
"Hmm... do you like reading?" Krystal asked, Teddy just continued to sit there in silence, staring at his paw.
"Yeah! Krystal and I are reading this really cool book right now! You should read it with us" Max exclaimed happily. Teddy just continued to sit there in silence staring at his paw.
Max and Krystal looked at each other worryingly. They knew they had to come up with something to cheer him up. But what?
(Confessional -Krystal)
"Teddy is hurting, I know that. But Max and I, we're going to help him forget about Bon-Bon for now and turn his focus back to winning. Because I know that's why he's here" Krystal said.
(Switch to -Max)
"I feel bad for Teddy. I know how he feels, I've lost friends, too. That's why I'm going to stay by his side until he's better!" Max exclaimed.
(Switch to -Teddy)
Teddy sat there in silence. Depressed look, rain cloud, and all. Staring at his Bon-Bon-less paw.
(Confessional End)
(With Cheek)
Cheek had woken up and looked at her clock, it was almost ten. She was about to get up, when she felt a pair of arms holding her down. She smiled when she remembered Brent was back.
"Morning" Brent said, somewhat startling Cheek.
"Morning" She replied happily, Brent kissed her cheek before removing his arms from her so she could get up. She threw her legs off the bed before stretching and standing up. Brent rolled over to face her as she made her way to the dresser to get some clothes.
"So... you were right" Brent said.
"Right about what?" Cheek asked as she turned to look at him.
"Right about this bed being more comfortable than the basement closet" Brent replied with a smile, Cheek giggled before turning back to the dresser.
"I told you it would be" She said.
Brent fell onto his back and stretched. When he stretched, his hand bumped something that he thought was a pillow. When he looked to see what it was, he saw the Brent plushie. It had gotten knocked over to the back corner of the bed and was getting ready to fall between the crack between the bed and the wall.
"What's this?" Brent asked with a chuckle as he grabbed it and sat up.
"What's what?" Cheek asked as she turned to face him again.
"This plush... of me" Brent replied as he showed Cheek the plush.
"What do you mean 'What is it?'. You're the one that left it" Cheek said, Brent shook his head.
"Uh... no, Cheek. I didn't" he said, Cheek was confused.
"What do you mean you didn't?" She said curiously.
"I didn't leave this. I didn't even know they made these" Brent replied as he looked over the plush "Do I really look like that?" He asked jokingly. Cheek was just plain confused.
"No, no. You had to have left it. There's no one else that would have" Cheek said as she slowly walked to the bed. Brent looked back up at her and shook his head.
"Nope. Wasn't me" He said. Cheek looked at him, kinda zoned out about the whole thing. She thought for sure after she found out Brent was on board, that it was him who had left the plush. He was the only person that made it make sense. But now she's finding out that it wasn't him?
Cheek sat down on the edge of the bed shaking her head. Brent crawled over and sat next to her.
"Hey, are you okay?" He asked, Cheek looked at him.
"If you didn't leave it... then who did?" She asked. Brent didn't know what to say.
(Confessional -Cheek)
Cheek sat in front of the camera looking off to the side trying to figure this 'mystery' out.
"Okay, if it wasn't Brent, then who was it?" Cheek said curiously as she tried to piece together an answer "I-I'm just... so confused" she continued as she placed a hand on her head and lightly shook it.
(Confessional End)
(With Goldie)
Goldie had been hiding in his room for the last day or so, no one had really seen or heard from him. He had been keeping to himself as he thought about things. No one had bothered him anyways seeing as how he knew no one here liked him anyways.
Goldie sat on the edge of his bed with a somber look on his face. He thought back to Roxy and Moxie back on the dock in Ireland. He knew Roxy could be just as manipulative and evil as he could... but even she could be aside her evil ways for her family no matter how annoying or weird they are.
Goldie shook his head as his mind switched to Freddy. As he thought more and more about it, he finally realized that maybe Freddy was right with what he said in the dining hall. But Goldie knew he had way too much pride to openly admit that to him.
He continued to think for several more minutes before he heard a knock on his door. He frowned. He was hoping that if he ignored it, whomever was knocking would go away. That wasn't the case. There was another knock on the door, Goldie growled as he stood up and made his way to it.
"What?" Goldie said in an annoyed tone as he pulled the door open, he was surprised to see who was on the other side of it. It was Ballora.
"You haven't been out of your room for a couple of days now. I thought you could use some breakfast" Ballora said as she held out a plate of food for Goldie, he looked at it before looking back up at her.
"I'm not hungry" He said.
"You haven't eaten in two days. I know you are" Ballora said, refusing to take Goldie's 'I'm not hungry' for an answer.
"Fine. If I take the plate, will you go away?" Goldie asked, not wanting to stand there and argue with here. Ballora nodded "Okay, then give it here" he continued as he pulled the plate from Ballora's hands "Now leave me alone" he said. He was getting ready to close the door, whine Ballora stopped him.
"I know something's bothering you" Ballora said, Goldie stopped and looked at her.
"What?" He said curiously.
"I know something's bothering you. That's why you've been locked in your room the past couple of days, right?" Ballora said curiously.
"What does it matter?" Goldie asked, clearly annoyed with this conversation.
"Sometimes it's better to talk about what's bothering you rather then to keep it bottled up inside" Ballora replied.
"Yeah? Well not this time" Goldie said. He was getting ready to close the door again, when once again, Ballora stopped him.
"Talk to your brother. It'll make you feel a lot better. Trust me" She said before she started walking away. Goldie peaked out into the hallway and watched her walk down it, surprised by what she had just said.
Was it really that obvious that Freddy was what's bothering him?
Goldie shook his head and groaned as he walked back into his room and slammed the door behind him.
(Confessional -Goldie)
"I don't know how she knows what's going on, but it's weird" Goldie said "I'll talk to Freddy when I'm good and ready to talk to Freddy" he continued before stopping when he realized what he just said "And that way of wording was just a coincidence. No Dr. Seuss jokes" he finished with an annoyed look on his face.
(Confessional End)
(With Bonnie)
Bonnie had woken up later than she would have liked. She got up, took a shower, and threw on some clean clothes before heading out.
She was on her way to Cheek's room to see if she wanted to get breakfast.
When she got to Cheek's door, she was about to knock, when she heard talking. Her ears perked up as she put her head against the door to try and hear better.
"If it wasn't you... then who was it?" Cheek asked. Bonnie was confused. She knocked on the door.
"Cheek?" She said. She didn't hear a response at first, just some shuffling from within' the room.
"H-hang on!" Cheek called back. Bonnie tried to open the door, but it was locked.
After several seconds, Cheek finally came to the door and opened it just enough to peak her head out.
"O-oh, hey, B-Bonnie. What's up?" Cheek asked, Bonnie could tell she was clearly nervous about something.
"I was just going to see if you wanted to go get breakfast with me" She replied.
"I-I'd love to, but I can't right now. I-I'm uh... busy" Cheek said. Bonnie tried to look past her to see into her room, Cheek noticed and tried to block as much of the view as she could.
"Is someone in there with you? I heard you talking to someone a minute ago" Bonnie asked, Cheek quickly shook her head.
"Nope! No ones in here with me. It's just me. All alone. No one else in here but me" she replied, Bonnie narrowed her eyes questionably at the chicken.
"Hmm... are you sure?" She said curiously, Cheek nodded.
"O-of course I am!" She said "I-I'll talk to you later. I have to go... uh...yeah" she continued before closing the door in the rabbits face.
Bonnie stood there staring at Cheek's door. She knew at this point that Cheek was for sure hiding something.
(Confessional -Bonnie)
"I know that secret keeping chicken is up to something, and I intend on finding out exactly what it is!" Bonnie exclaimed.
(Confessional End)
(With Katy)
Katy had come out of her room to get some breakfast. She had done so much thinking over the past couple of days that she was actually starving.
She made it into the dining hall without any interaction with any of the other competitors. Which she was actually pretty happy about.
She walked over and grabbed a plate before heading to a table to sit down.
The dining hall was pretty empty at this point. The only other person in there besides Katy, was Roxy.
Katy was getting ready to go sit at one of the empty tables, but sighed and headed for the table Roxy was at. She sat down across from her, not saying a word.
Roxy looked up at her confused.
"You do know every other table in here is empty, right?" Roxy asked, Katy nodded.
"I know" She replied.
"Then why did you choose to sit here?" Roxy asked, Katy shrugged.
"I don't know, honestly" She replied. She was right, she honestly didn't know why she chose to sit with Roxy. It's not like the two females were friends.
Roxy shook her head and rolled her eyes before looking back down at her plate. Katy could tell she was thinking about something. She knew she was because she, herself had been doing a lot of that lately.
"Is something wrong?" Katy asked suddenly. Roxy looked up at her.
"What do you care?" She asked rhetorically.
"I dunno. Maybe you're having the same problems I am" Katy replied.
"Oh, and what problems are you having?" Roxy asked, Katy sighed.
"I've been trying to come up with a way to get Rebecca to talk about what she did to Randy that made him so mad he didn't even want to be around her since we got here" She replied.
"Why do you care about what she did to him? It's not like it's your problem anyway" Roxy said.
"Yeah, I know that. I just..." Katy started before stopping as she looked away from the vixen. Roxy sat there staring at her for several seconds before realizing something.
"You like Randy, don't you?" Roxy asked, Katy went wide eyed as she quickly looked back at her.
"W-wait! What?!" She said curiously.
"You like Randy. That's why you want to find out what Rebecca did to him, so you can help him get over her" Roxy explained, Katy quickly shook her head.
"N-no, no. Randy and I are just friends" She said, Roxy rolled her eyes.
"Yeah? And Nightmare is a good chef" She said.
"Wait, since I told you what's been on my mind, why don't you tell me what's got you in such a bad mood" Katy said, trying to change the subject.
"Fine. Adrian is getting on my nerves to the point where I don't know how much longer I'm going to be able to put up with him before I grab his stupid little pencil neck and strangle him" Roxy said, imagining strangling Adrian as she did.
"I haven't been paying any attention to him" Katy said.
"You should. He's up to something. He has something planned, I know he does. He's trying to set us all up and pick us off one by one so he can walk away with that money" Roxy said.
"Oh, kinda like what you did back in the first season?" Katy said curiously, Roxy looked annoyed by her comment.
"That was different! And it doesn't matter anymore, that was then, this is now. So what we need to focus on is Adrian" She said, Katy shook her head.
"No, we need to focus on Rebecca" she said, Roxy shook her head back.
"No. Rebecca is not the issue here, Adrian is" She said.
"Yes, Rebecca is the issue here. I don't care about Adrian" Katy said.
"And I don't care about Rebecca" Roxy said. Roxy and Katy narrowed their eyes at each other. They sat in silence for almost a minute before Roxy spoke again. "Why don't we do this..." She said.
"Do what?" Katy said curiously.
"We put our differences aside... for now, and help each other out" Roxy said.
"I'm listening" Katy said.
"I know how to get Rebecca talking, and since she knows that none of you like me, she wouldn't expect me to be getting information from her for one of you" Roxy said, Katy nodded "But, if I help you and get the information you want, you have to help me get rid of Adrian. Sound fair?" She asked as she extended her paw across the table.
Katy sat there thinking about it. She really didn't want to work with Roxy, but knew at this point Roxy was probably her last hope to getting the answers she wanted.
"Fine, you have a deal" Katy said as she shook Roxy's paw.
(Confessional -Katy)
"I don't like Roxy, honestly. But I mean, she may actually come in handy when it comes to getting information from someone. I mean, she's manipulative, and willing to do whatever she has to to get what she wants" Katy started "Maybe with her help I'll finally be able to find out what Rebecca has been hiding" she continued with a smile.
(Switch to -Roxy)
"I don't like to look at this as 'Working with Katy'. I look at it more as, she's doing me a favor, so I'll do her a favor. Like an eye for an eye" Roxy said "Besides, maybe she'll be able to help get rid of Adrian. I've seen what she can do. I mean, she can be pretty conniving, herself" she continued with an approving nod.
(Confessional End)
(With Freddy)
Just like his brother, Freddy had been sitting in his room the whole morning. He went and got himself a bagel for breakfast, but headed straight back to his room afterwords.
He had been returning the silent treatment to his brother pretty much ever since the scene he caused he in the dining hall. He told Goldie what he needed to tell him, so he figured there was no point in wasting anymore of his breath.
He sat there for awhile before a sigh finally escaped his mouth.
He needed to get out of that room. He needed some fresh air.
Freddy stood up and walked out of his room. He was walking down the hallway when he bumped into Adrian, who was exiting his room.
"Oh, good morning, Freddy" Adrian said with a smile as he backed up from the bear.
"Morning" Freddy replied.
"Where are you headed to?" Adrian asked.
"Uh... just to get some air" Freddy replied, not really wanting to strike up a conversation with him.
"Ah, that's nice. I was actually just headed out myself" Adrian said, Freddy gave him a somewhat uncomfortable nod.
"Yeah, uh... cool" He said. He was getting ready to walk away, when Adrian stopped him.
"So... tell me, Freddy. How are things between you and your brother?" Adrian asked, causing Freddy to stop in his tracks.
"What?" He said curiously, not turning around to look at him.
"You and your brother. How are things between the two of you?" Adrian asked again "Don't think myself and everyone else here hasn't noticed how the two of you have been treating each other the past couple of weeks. And your breakdown in the dining hall, man that must have been rough" he continued, Freddy finally turned around to face him.
"Me and my brother are none of your concern. So why don't you stay focused on whatever it is you've been doing and stop worrying about us" Freddy said, Adrian held his paws up in front of him.
"Whoa, whoa, calm down there. I didn't mean to strike a nerve" He said. Freddy let out a low growl and was about to say something when he was stopped from doing so.
(Air Horn Blows)
"All competitors meet me on deck for today's challenge!" Marionette's voice rang throughout the ship.
Adrian let out a little chuckle once Marionette was done with his announcement.
"Guess that's our cue. See you out there, Freddy" Adrian said as he patted Freddy on the shoulder before turning and walking towards the deck. Freddy stood there staring at him, not sure what to think.
(Confessional -Freddy)
"I don't know, something about that guy just seems... off. I'm getting that same feeling for him that I usually get for Roxy" Freddy said.
(Switch to -Adrian)
"Freddy is obviously just as gullible as the rest of them. Those morons will fall for anything. That's exactly why winning this million dollars is going to be a lot easier than I originally expected it to be" Adrian said before letting out a chuckle.
(Confessional End)
The group of competitors had met up on deck and were now just waiting for Marionette.
Max and Krystal practically had to drag Teddy out of the dining hall. They didn't like it, however, because they for soaked from his raincloud in doing so.
All the other competitors just kinda kept their distance from him so they didn't suffer the same fate.
"Good morning, compet- uh... What's up with that?" Marionette said curiously as he and Ballora walked out on to the viewing deck. The first thing they noticed was Teddy and his raincloud.
"He's upset about Bon- you know who" Krystal replied.
"Alright, I get that. But THAT. How is it possible?" Marionette asked, Max and Krystal looked at each other before shrugging.
"Beats me" Krystal replied. Marionette glanced over at Ballora, who was just as confused as everyone else was.
"That is definitely something you don't see everyday" Ballora said, Marionette nodded in agreement.
"Well, moving on then. I have two announcements today! First one being, after the last challenge, and with how little the teams are now, I have decided to have team merging to take our team total back down to the usual two teams!" Marionette exclaimed. The competitors were all somewhat surprised by that.
"Okay, so how's that going to work?" Roxy asked.
"Well, we are going to be combining teams in the same fashion we did in the last challenge. Team Marionette is Really Really Really Hot and The Tyrants are now one team, and The Strikers and The Standouts are now one team" Marionette replied "That way both teams have an even six, six team" he continued. Adrian shook his head in annoyance "And the second announcement is revolving around today's challenge!" He exclaimed.
"Great" Goldie muttered sarcastically.
"So, today's challenge is going to be something somewhat simple, just to see how well your newly combined teams can work together" Marionette started "Today's challenge is going to be a team paddle boat race!" He exclaimed.
"A paddle boat race? Are you serious?" Bonnie said curiously.
"Yep!" Marionette replied.
"There HAS to be some kind of catch or something. There is no way you'd give us a challenge this simple if there wasn't" Katy said.
"Nope. No catch. I honestly just want to see which team falls apart first" Marionette replied with a chuckle.
"Of course you do" Freddy said in an unamused tone.
"Well, we aren't going to fall apart, right, team?!" Baby exclaimed as she threw her arms around Roxy and Mike's shoulders. Roxy quickly shoved it off.
"If you keep doing that we will" She said.
"Alrighty then, lets get down to business!" Marionette exclaimed "The starting point is where the boats will be lowered at the front of the ship. The halfway line is at the rock sticking out of the water about a mile down. And the finish line is back here at the ship. First team back wins" he explained.
(Confessional -Baby)
"I just know that my team has this challenge in the bag! There's no way we're going to lose!" Baby exclaimed confidently.
(Switch to -Bonnie)
"Great. I'm going to have Cheek trapped in that boat with nowhere to run. She'll have to talk to me about whats been going on" Bonnie said with a smile.
(Switch to -Adrian)
Adrian sat in front of the camera, arms crossed, and a really annoyed look on his face.
"Great! Just great! Now I have three more moron teammates to worry about holding me down" Adrian started before shaking his head "All I know is this better not last too much longer. Because if my 'teammates' cost me another challenge, I am going to-" he was saying before stopping, his smile returning to his face "-What would the surprise be if I told you?" He finished before letting out a little chuckle.
(Confessional End)
All the competitors had gotten ready and climbed into their paddle boats, before being lowered down to the water and the starting line.
Each of the six competitors on each team had a paddle. Now they just needed to work together to get their boats where they need them to go.
Marionette and Ballora walked over to the side and looked over.
"When I blow this whistle, you may go!" Marionette called down to the competitors "Oh, and I forgot to mention that sometimes sharks pop up in this specific area. So I'd be carful and hurry back if I was you!" He continued. Everyone went wide eyed as they looked around at each other.
"You couldn't have told us that before we got down here?!" Krystal asked. Marionette thought about it a minute before shaking his head.
"No!" He replied. Krystal was about to say something else, when Marionette blew the whistle. The Strikers and Standouts immediately took off.
"Lets go!" Roxy exclaimed as The Tyrants and Team Marionette is Really Really Really Hot followed after them.
The Strikers and Standouts were already off to a good start, and Adrian was happy about that.
He looked behind him to see if his team was on top of their game. He saw Teddy in the back barely doing any paddling. He was still staring down at his paw.
"Teddy, we don't have time to sulk right now. You need to start helping" Adrian said. Teddy looked up at him, a somber look on his face, and barely nodded in response.
Bonnie looked at Cheek, who was sitting right next to her, as they continued to paddle the boat.
"So... what's been up with you lately?" Bonnie asked, getting Cheek's attention.
"What do you mean?" Cheek asked back.
"You've been acting really strange the past few days. It's weird" Bonnie replied, Cheek shook her head as she looked back straight.
"No, I'm fine" She said, Bonnie knew that was bull.
"Cheek, come on. Do you think I was born yesterday?" She asked, Cheek didn't reply at first, but finally shook her head "Okay, then tell me what's been going on" she said.
"Bonnie, I already told you, nothing is going on" Cheek said. Bonnie was starting to get annoyed, but knew she couldn't push her. Not now. Not while they were in the middle of a challenge.
(Confessional -Cheek)
"I really wish Bonnie would stop with all of the questions. It's like, I told her nothing was wrong, so why does she keep on about it?" Cheek asked "It's just really starting to annoy me" she continued.
(Switch to -Bonnie)
"If we weren't in the middle of a stupid challenge, I wouldn't let up on Cheek. I'd keep on her until she told me what was up" Bonnie started "I can't risk that right now though. I can't risk losing the challenge and getting sent to the elimination ceremony and it being my fault. I'll surely get voted off if that happens" she continued "My quest for answers hasn't stopped yet. And it won't stop until I find out what Cheek is hiding" she finished.
(Confessional End)
(With The Tyrants and Team Marionette is Really Really Really Hot)
Roxy was starting to get very annoyed with the current predicament they were in. They were falling behind the other team, because they couldn't get their paddling in synch.
"Come on! We have to catch up to them!" Roxy exclaimed.
"Don't you think we know that?" Freddy asked.
"Hey, I'm just saying!" Roxy replied.
"Just calm down and keep paddling" Krystal said as she did just that. Roxy gave her an annoyed look, but continued her paddling.
Goldie sat there in silence, stealing glances at his brother. He thought back to what Ballora had told him. Was she right after all?
Goldie had had a lot on his mind the past couple of weeks, ninety-nine percent of it being his brother. Goldie was never one to admit he was wrong... or apologize because of it, but he was really thinking about whether or not he should do it this once.
He hadn't said two words to Ballora the whole time they had been there. But with the way she looks and acts, she looks like the kind of person that would know all about things like this. That's why Goldie was wondering if she was right.
Freddy looked over and noticed his brother seemed a little out of it. He was still paddling, so Freddy figured he must've just been thinking about something so he decided not to bother him.
(With The Standouts and The Strikers)
With their teamwork, it didn't take long for the team to come up on the large rock Marionette had been talking about.
"Have we really paddled this thing a mile already?" Bonnie asked.
"Guess so. That's a good thing" Katy said.
"It is. Now we have to turn it around and get back to the ship before the others catch up to us" Adrian said, his partners nodded in agreement.
Once they finally reached the large rock, they circled around it and started heading back towards the ship.
On their way back, they passed Team Marionette and The Tyrants, who were just now making it to the rock.
Adrian caught Roxy glaring at him as they passed, he winked at her in response. Roxy growled.
The Strikers and The Standouts had been in the lead the whole race. At this point, Adrian could tell they had this one.
(Confessional -Adrian)
"Hey, at least my partners weren't as useless as I thought they were going to be" Adrian said before shrugging.
(Confessional End)
(With The Tyrants and Team Marionette is Really Really Really Hot)
Roxy was fuming at this point. How had the other team managed to maintain the lead the whole race?! And what was worse was the fact that the race was now almost over.
"We need to hurry!" Roxy yelled.
"We can still win! I know we can!" Baby exclaimed.
"We need to get out paddling more in synch with one another" Freddy said.
"He's right. If we don't, they're going to finish this challenge with no problem. We can still catch up to them" Krystal said.
"What do we do?" Roxy asked. Freddy smiled.
Freddy had told the rest of his team EXACTLY what they needed to do to catch up.
"Row! Row! Row! Row!" Freddy repeated over and over again as his team glided across the water. Freddy's idea was actually working.
At that rate, it didn't take long for them to catch up to the other team. Eventually they got neck and neck. It didn't last long before they passed them. Roxy sarcastically winked at Adrian as they did. Adrian growled.
They continued to fly across the water, confidence consuming them.
(Confessional -Roxy)
"Seeing that look on Adrian's stupid face was priceless!" Roxy exclaimed.
(Confessional End)
(With The Strikers and The Standouts)
Now it was Adrian's turn to start fuming. They had had the lead the whole race! How did they just lose it.
"This is ridiculous!" Adrian exclaimed "We have to do better than this!" He continued.
"We're trying!" Max exclaimed, his arms now feeling sore from all the paddling they were having to do.
"We have to try harder! We can't lose to them!" Adrian exclaimed as he tried to paddle fast than they already were.
The others were starting to get annoyed with his attitude, but they knew he was right. They couldn't lose.
They looked around at each other, all getting the same idea. They nodded before picking up speed with their paddles. They were all paddling do hard and so fast that they thought their arms were going to fall off. But they started flying across the water at an unbelievable speed.
(With The Tyrants and Team Marionette is Really Really Really Hot)
Roxy was all smiles at this point. Her team not only had the lead, but the ship wasn't too far away from them. She couldn't wait to see the look on Adrian's face when they beat him.
Goldie saw the ship in the distance. He had been thinking about what Ballora had told him the whole challenge, and he knew the confidence he had would diminish once they got back to the ship.
Goldie looked over at his brother.
"Freddy?" Goldie said curiously "I need to talk to you" he continued.
"Whatever it is, it can wait until we get back to the ship. We need to stay focused on the challenge" Freddy replied, not looking at his brother.
"No, it's important" Goldie said.
"Goldie, it can wait" Freddy said, trying to focus on the challenge.
Goldie narrowed his eyes. At this point he was thinking about just forgetting about what he had to say. If Freddy wanted to be that way then so be it. But he couldn't. He had done a lot of thinking about this and knew he needed to do it.
That's when Goldie stopped paddling.
"G-Goldie, what are you doing?! Help us!" Freddy exclaimed as the boat started slowing down.
"Not until you listen to what I have to say" Goldie said.
"Goldie! Now isn't the time to do this!" Freddy exclaimed.
"It's as good a time as any" Goldie said.
"We're in the middle of a challenge you moron! Help us!" Roxy yelled, Goldie shook his head.
"I'll start helping when Freddy listens" Goldie said.
"Just listen to him! Hurry!" Krystal exclaimed, now panicked about the other team catching up.
"Fine! Goldie, hurry up!" Freddy exclaimed, Goldie nodded.
"I've been thinking a lot the past few days about what you said in the dining hall. You were right" Goldie said, surprising Freddy "I have been acting like a jerk. Yes, you did cost me one hundred million dollars. And yes, I am mad about it. But you're my brother, and I've done some pretty bad things to you in the past that you've forgiven me for. So I think it's about time I returned the favor. Freddy I accept your apology, and I'm sorry for ignoring you" he continued, Freddy was shocked. Did Goldie just apologize? That was new.
"Goldie, I-" Freddy was saying before being cut off as The Strikers and The Standouts flew past them.
"We have to move!" Roxy yelled, the others nodded before they quickly started paddling after the other team again.
They were doing their best to catch up, but regardless of their best efforts, they weren't able to catch up to them.
The Standouts and The Strikers flew past the finish line at the head of the ship. When they did, Marionette blew his stupid whistle again.
"And your winners of today's challenge, The Standouts and The Strikers!" Marionette exclaimed. Most of the members of the team cheered when he announced that, all except Teddy and Adrian. Adrian just smirked, and Teddy was still too depressed to cheer. "Unfortunately for Team Marionette is Really Really Really Hot and The Tyrants, I will see all six of you at the elimination ceremony tonight!" He yelled down to the two teams as their boat came to a stop by the ladder.
None of them were all too pleased with their loss. Roxy glared at Goldie and shook her head.
(Confessional -Baby)
Baby sat nervously in front of the camera.
"Ohhh, I hate having to go to these elimination ceremony's!" Baby exclaimed "I'm always worried that Mike or I will be eliminated! And then we'll be separated! And that would be horrible!" She exclaimed in a panicked tone "I bet poor Mike is just as worried as I am" she finished sadly.
(Switch to -Mike)
"WooHoo! Another chance for Baby to be eliminated!" Mike exclaimed happily "There is no way she's going to get through this one! I'm finally going to be free! Free from this nightmare!" He continued.
(Switch to -Krystal)
"Hmm, at the elimination ceremony again. Great" Krystal said.
(Switch to -Roxy)
"We shouldn't be here, the others should. Especially that no good, lying, dirty, *Bleep*hole Adrian" Roxy said, almost growling Adrian's name.
(Switch to -Freddy)
"Great. At the elimination ceremony again" Freddy said before shaking his head "As much as I hate to say it, especially after we just made up, but this loss is partially Goldie's fault. If he wouldn't've stopped me during the challenge to tell me what he wanted to, we wouldn't've fallen behind as far as we did" he continued "I'm just really hoping we both make it through this thing tonight" he finished.
(Switch to -Goldie)
Goldie sat in front of the camera with his arms crossed and an annoyed look on his face.
"This is bull. We shouldn't be at that stupid elimination ceremony tonight" Goldie started "We should have won
(Confessional End)
(At Elimination Ceremony)
"Welcome, Team Marionette is Really Really Really Hot and Tyrants. I'm sure you're all glad to be here" Marionette said. Goldie crossed his arms and shook his head as he gave Marionette a dirty look. "Now obviously at this point you're all very familiar with the whole elimination ceremony thing. But I think I'll explain the rules to you once more just in case you have somehow forgotten" he continued.
"We haven't forgotten about your stupid rules. Will you just get on with it already?" Goldie asked, Marionette frowned at him.
"No. Now, I have five Marionette co-captain badges. If you don't receive one of the badges, you must take that ever so embarrassing walk of shame down the Plank of Losers" Marionette explained "And now to hand out the badges to those of you who are safe" he continued "The first Marionette co-captain badge goes to... Baby" he said as he tossed Baby the badge, she squealed in excitement.
"And the next badge goes to... Mike" Marionette said as he tossed Mike a badge. Mike sighed as he caught it, before being pulled into a breathtaking hug by Baby.
" *Squeal* Mike, we're both safe!" Baby exclaimed in excitement.
"Y-yippie" Mike managed to spit out.
"Next up we have Roxy... and Krystal" Marionette said before tossing the two females their badges.
"Freddy, Goldie one of you is outta here!" Marionette exclaimed, Freddy and Goldie looked at each other.
(Dramatic Music Starts Playing)
Freddy shook his head as he and his brother stared at each other. It honestly figured that something like this would happen AS SOON AS they made up.
(Music Gets More Dramatic)
Freddy shook his head again as he finally looked away from his brother and down to the floor.
Goldie looked over at Marionette, who as usual, had a smile on his face.
"And the last Marionette Co-Captain badge goes to-" Marionette started before stopping as he continued to move the last badge back and fourth.
Freddy just honestly couldn't believe this was happening. And the possibility of losing both his girlfriend and his brother this early in the season was really getting to him.
Goldie on the other hand figured he knew what was about to happen. He was mad. But realistically it was his own fault that it was going to happen. If he wouldn't have stopped in the middle of the challenge to talk to Freddy, his team would have won.
"Hmm..." Marionette started before stopping as he started slowing the badge down, eventually he stopping it right in the middle of the two brothers "...Freddy" he finally said before tossing Freddy the badge "Goldie, can't say I'm surprised" he finished.
(Elimination Music Starts)
An annoyed scowl immediately formed on Goldie's face as he looked down and shook his head.
"Goldie, I'm-" Freddy was saying before being interrupted.
"No. Stop, Freddy. I knew this was going to happen" Goldie said as he stood up and turned to glare at the other competitors "The only good thing to come out of this is I'm finally going to be able to get away from all of you" he continued before turning to look back at his brother "Next time you're on land, make sure and prevent those wildfires" he said to his brother before patting him on the shoulder.
"And when you get home, you go and advertise those gummy bears and sell as many packs as you can" Freddy said, Goldie gave him a somewhat annoyed look "I'll see you when I get home" he continued, Goldie nodded.
"You better win this time" He said.
"I'll do my best" Freddy replied, Goldie gave him another nod before walking up to Marionette and yanking the life preserver out of his hands.
"Whoa, grabby, calm down. The plank of losers isn't going anywhere" Marionette said, only further annoying Goldie.
"Shut up" Goldie said before stepping out onto the plank and walking it. When he got to the end, he looked down into the water, a scowl forming on his face "Fricken great" he muttered before jumping off of the plank.
Marionette looked into the water to make sure he was gone, and when he saw he was, he laughed.
"And after another shocking elimination, what'll happen next time?" Marionette asked "Will Max and Krystal be able to break Teddy out of his really depressing state? Will Katy and Roxy actually be able to work together without killing each other? And how will Freddy react to being responsible for his brother's elimination for the third season in a row?" He asked "Find out all these answers and more, next time on Total...Drama...Fazbear...Cruise!" He finished.
And that's it for chapter 10! I hope you enjoyed!
I know the challenge was a little short and maybe even somewhat boring, but it was kinda a last minute thing I came up with.
I fell behind writing the chapter this week because of a combination of being sick, being busy with personal matters, and working on the first chapter of the new Pokémon story I'm starting (It's called More Than Just Friends) check it out if you're into M rated Pokémon stories.
So, I hope you can forgive me for that. But I will hopefully have everything back in order next week.
So stay tuned and I'll see you all then!
