Author's Note: I'm back, sorry for the bit of a break. I've been busy busy busy. Anyways, I had a bit of deja vu when I was watching Total Drama Revenge of the Island. If anybody has read my first series you might have noticed some similarities with the whole mine/Zeke/Dakota plot. Just thought it was something neat.
"Last time on Total Drama Refresh," Chris announced, "we had a challenge that was most satisfying…for me, that is. The campers were put in the kitchen and had to make a delicious meal for yours truly. Things heated up fast between campers, though, and in no time there were quite a few of mishaps going off. Like Annie spilling her team's stew, or Victoria getting frozen. Yeah, that was bad. Beatrice got angry and used Bobby's latest weapon and the result was a new ice sculpture in the shape of Victoria. The Badgers voted off Victoria so she could get the treatment she needs. Eliot also found the Tiki Idol and disposed of it; will this help the Screaming Badgers out of their losing streak? Find out right now on Total Drama Refresh."
(Theme Song Plays)
(Screaming Badgers Cabin)
It seemed impossible, yet tension had reached a new peak for the team. Everyone was in the same room, waiting to head off to the mess hall. No one spoke, and everyone kept their distance, but their eyes were working furiously.
Sophie stood with authority and shot glares at all of her teammates. Lionel stared at her with extreme resentment. Sooz was texting, but she shot several glances at Sophie. Bobby was scribbling on a paper, but looked up frequently to examine either Lionel or Sophie. Eliot was trying to get a peek at what Bobby was drawing without looking suspicious.
Eventually Beatrice broke the silence, "So, Lionel, it's too bad about what happened to Victoria."
"You mean, because you shot her with the freeze ray?" Lionel replied in a deadpan voice.
"You mean, the freeze ray that Bobby thoughtlessly built?" Beatrice replied snidely.
"Hey, you were being a moron for using something that you had no idea how to work!" Bobby snapped at her.
"So, it's okay if you have a dangerous weapon because you know how to use it?" Beatrice shot back angrily.
"Enough!" Sophie snapped.
The blond girl glared at everyone in annoyance.
"We've lost the last three challenges," Sophie declared. "And do you know why? It's because you are all too concerned with your pathetic personal issues. Well, we are going to win this time and the only way we can do that is if you all forget about your quarrels. At least, until the merge, that is."
No said anything. Sophie took this to mean that they were in agreement.
(Killer Flounder Cabin)
"Way to go, team!" Nicole cheered to everyone in the room. "We've won three challenges in a row."
"Yeah, we rock!" Annie cheered.
"Go Killer Flounder!" Montana added.
The rest of the teammates chose to not join in the celebration.
"C'mon, Parry, I know you want to have a little joy, right," Montana said to Parry.
"I am satisfied with our performance," Parry replied. "That's the best I can do."
"What about you, Mrs. DJ?" Montana asked.
"Hmph," Momma DJ sniffed. "I'll celebrate after I have the million dollars. Cockiness only leads to carelessness."
"And it's no surprise why you're not cheering," Annie said snidely to Edward who was watching them with annoyance.
"I'm very happy with our team so far," Edward declared. "I'm just not a very celebratory person."
Edward returned to the boys' side where Ethan was looking up dazed.
"Ethan, I never thought I'd say this, but I think that I may need you in an alliance with me," Edward said. "Nicole has amassed too much support and she has become a threat."
Ethan looked at Edward and stared at him for a while.
"Whoa, your eyes are like an endless void of darkness," Ethan exclaimed as he placed his hand on Edward's shoulder.
Edward groaned as slapped his forehead.
Confessional:
Edward-With everyone supporting Nicole, they'll begin to think that they don't need me. I have to make sure that we lose this time so that everyone realizes how important my leadership is.
Momma DJ-That Montana is starting to get under my skin. She's so careless and wild. It's only a matter of time before she starts causing trouble.
"Campers, welcome to your next challenge," Chris announced once everyone had finished breakfast. "I've been noticing that some of you aren't quite getting along."
"Well, it's hard to get along with someone trying to sabotage your team," Annie exclaimed as she looked at Edward.
"For the last time, I'm not trying to sabotage our team," Edward protested. "In fact, how do we know you're not the one trying to cause trouble?"
"Yes, that's the spirit, Killer Flounder," Chris exclaimed. "And how about you, Screaming Badgers? I know you've had your differences."
"What are you talking about? We love Sophie," Sooz said sarcastically while texting.
Sophie did not seem to pick up on the sarcasm.
"Well, today will be the perfect opportunity to work on your trust issues," Chris declared. "That's right, it's the trust challenge."
Several uneasy groans were heard as campers glanced at each other.
"All of you will be put into challenges where it helps if you trust each other," Chris explained. "First off I'll be needing…Nicole and Ethan, along with…Sooz and Sophie."
The four campers stepped forward.
"Don't. Screw. This. Up," Sophie hissed at Sooz.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Sooz shrugged without looking up.
"And put that phone away," Sophie ordered.
"This is so much more than a plain phone," Sooz said sounding offended.
Sophie growled.
"Okay, okay, it's gone," Sooz said defensively as she put her device in her pocket.
"Well, I think that we can get along," Nicole said to Ethan.
Ethan didn't reply or even look at Nicole.
"Um, hello, Ethan?" Nicole said.
"Oh sorry, I was just thinking that the sky today is really blue," Ethan said. "Like, it's not just regular blue, it's like, really blue, man."
"I…see," Nicole said uneasily.
"This is gonna be great," Chris laughed. "Anyways the rest of you can take some time to relax until you're called down."
Confessional:
Nicole-Well, I'd like to trust Ethan, but I'm not sure if I want him in charge of keeping me safe.
Sooz-Trust Sophie? Ha, that girl is insane. If she got mad she might break my back or something.
Sophie-Sooz has been lacking in effort. She'd better fix that because I will not accept another failure.
Ethan-The way I see it, there are, like, three kinds of blue. There's, like, regular blue; then there's blue blue, and then there's really blue.
(First Challenge)
Chris guided the four campers to small field. At the end of the field were two large flags, one for each team symbol.
"Alright, Ethan, Sophie, you'll have to wear these for now," Chris said as he handed each of them a blindfold.
The two covered their eyes.
"The two of you are going to have to race to the flags at the end of the course," Chris explained. "However, this field is filled with hidden landmines."
"Landmines?" Nicole exclaimed nervously.
"That's right," Chris said with a cruel grin. "Not explosive enough to kill you, but enough to be funny. But luckily Nicole and Sooz will be getting these."
He revealed a pair of metal detectors which he handed to the two girls.
"You'll have to search the field for mines and mark a path for your partner," Chris explained. "Once you think you've made a safe route to the flag, your partner will remove their blindfolds and race. Okay…begin!"
Sooz and Nicole were also given a pile of smaller flags that they could use to mark a path. The two girls began sweeping their detectors across the grass. Whenever it began chirping they pulled back immediately. Nicole was making good progress but Sooz was having difficulty. Her detector was constantly going off.
"Chris, I think you gave me a defective one," Sooz complained.
"Nope, something must just be interfering with it," Chris explained.
Sooz heard a crackling sound coming from her many pockets.
"Oh no," she gasped. "What if this thing is interfering with my handheld devices? It could delete all my memory."
"Is there a problem?" Sophie snapped. "You remember what I said about losing, right?"
"Yeah, yeah, no problem," Sooz said nervously.
Sooz noticed that Nicole had nearly made a path to the end. Sooz quickly began planting her flags based on guesses.
"Alright, both teams have set up a path to the finish line," Chris declared. "The first team to arrive wins, or if anybody sets off a mine they immediately lose."
Sophie and Ethan pulled off their blindfolds. Sooz immediately backed away from Sophie nervously.
"Ethan, Sophie, do you trust that your partners have found a safe path for you?" Chris asked.
"She'd better have," Sophie snarled.
"Yeah, sure, why not," Ethan exclaimed.
"Then you may begin," Chris declared.
Ethan and Sophie both began walking without much worry. Sophie was confident in winning and Ethan just didn't seem to understand the magnitude of what he was doing. Sophie followed the flag, but Ethan seemed less concerned about that.
"Ooh, whoa, look at that daisy, man," he exclaimed.
"Ethan, stick to the path!" Nicole shouted.
"Just a sec, man," Ethan said. "I think that daisy might be perfectly symmetrical, a true miracle or nature."
Nicole groaned to herself before chasing after Ethan and grabbing his ponytail.
"Enjoy nature later, avoid mines now," she ordered.
She pulled him back on track and he continued to follow the flags. Suddenly a short, but loud, explosion filled the vicinity. Sophie was launched into the air and came slamming down on her butt.
"And Sophie is out," Chris declared. "That means that the Killer Flounder have won the first point of the day."
"Oh, I am going to kill that girl," Sophie growled. "Where is she?"
"I think I saw her running in the opposite direction about five minutes ago," Chris declared.
Sophie punched the ground in frustration.
"Good work, Ethan," Nicole exclaimed.
However, her partner was too busy examining the flower he had spotted.
"Let's see…three pedals on one side," he muttered to himself.
In another explosion Ethan was also launched into the air. When he crashed back on to the ground Nicole rushed over to see if he was okay.
"Ethan, are you hurt?" Nicole asked.
"A true miracle of nature," he mumbled.
(The Beach)
Montana and Annie were having fun tossing a beach ball to each other. However, they were the only ones who were enjoying themselves. Bobby was working with the same amount of determination as ever on his designs, and Eliot was still trying to spy on him. Edward had gathered a group to discuss his plans. Beatrice was still pursuing after Lionel.
"Let's just enjoy our time at the beach," Beatrice suggested. "I mean, I know you're stressed—"
"Yes, I'm stressed," Lionel interrupted. "And the only way you can help me with that is if you vote off Sophie. She's messed up and I won't feel safe until she's gone."
"But she's scary," Beatrice shuddered. "She was so mad at me last time. If she found out that I voted for her…I don't want to think about it."
"But she won't be able to get you if she gets voted off," Lionel pressed.
"Yeah…but it's a risk," Beatrice said.
Bobby was picking up on some of their conversation as he worked. However, what he didn't notice was Eliot hanging from a tree behind him and holding a magnifying glass to his hair. He eventually sensed something and glanced up. Eliot had already camouflaged himself with the leaves.
"There's someone we should all vote for next elimination," Edward said to Momma DJ and Parry. "Nicole."
Momma DJ and Parry looked confused.
"Let me explain," Edward said. "Nicole seems to think that she's being a good leader. We've gotten lucky a couple of times and she thinks that it's because of her. But, seriously, Nicole doesn't seem to know too much about being a leader. If she keeps up like this she'll probably lead us to disaster, but by that time it'll be too late and she'll already have everyone under her thumb."
Parry looked nervously, but Momma DJ looked unfazed.
"I can think of someone else I'd like gone," she said.
"Who?" Edward asked.
Suddenly a beach ball slammed into Momma DJ's head and knocked her hat into the sand.
"Whoops, sorry, Mrs. DJ," Montana exclaimed.
"Her," Momma DJ declared as she jerked a thumb at Montana.
"But she's so nice," Parry protested, then quickly added, "I mean, out of everyone here, she's slightly more bearable."
"I beg to differ," Momma DJ protested. "She's wild and reckless. She's going to cause problems and I want her gone before someone gets hurt because of her."
Edward nodded but gave no comment.
Confessional:
Edward-Well, that didn't really go anywhere. And I can't even throw the challenge yet because Chris decides who participates.
Eliot-After careful inspection of Bobby's scalp I've decided that he is not a cyborg, but this doesn't eliminate the possibilities of him being an alien agent.
Lionel-(shaking his head) Why is Beatrice so blind? She can't seem to realize that I'm not into her, but she also can't seem to see that we need to get rid of Sophie.
(Second Challenge)
"Edward and Annie," Chris bellowed through his megaphone, "and Bobby and Lionel, you're up."
Chris had moved on to a hilly area now. Sophie had got hunting after Sooz, but Nicole remained.
"I'd better stick around to make sure Edward and Annie don't kill each other," Nicole exclaimed.
"That might actually make for some good ratings," Chris mused.
Nicole looked at him skeptically.
"You're right," Chris sighed. "The lawsuits would probably negate the profits."
Soon the four summoned campers arrived along with Beatrice.
"Uh, Beatrice, I didn't call you," Chris pointed out.
"I know," Beatrice replied. "I just came to make sure Lionel doesn't get hurt."
Lionel just shrugged at Chris.
"Well, just don't get in the way," Chris said. "Anyways, if you'll all just look to the left…"
The campers glanced where Chris was pointing to see a pair of massive catapults.
"Whoa, how did we miss those?" Nicole exclaimed.
"Uh, Chris, why exactly do you have a pair of catapults?" Annie asked.
"Well, we were thinking of replacing the Dock of Shame with the Hurl of Shame," Chris explained. "But we realized that that would be ridiculous."
The campers nodded in agreement.
"Here's how the challenge works," Chris continued. "One partner will sit in the catapult and the other will launch them. The goal is to hit those soft targets on the other side of the hill. The closer you are to the bullseye, the better your score will, and the softer your landing will be."
The four campers who were participating did not look confident.
"So, being launched will be…" Chris declared, "…Lionel and Annie!"
"Uh, Chris, I don't think that's such a good idea," Annie said. "I do not trust Edward to launch me; he'd probably send me crashing to the ground just so we lose."
"But that defeats the purpose of the game," Chris argued. "You have to trust him or else you'll forfeit this challenge."
"Annie, just do it," Nicole sighed. "Edward's not going to get you hurt on purpose."
"That's right," Edward said. "I want to win just as much as you."
Lionel had already climbed into the catapult, but he did not look happy.
"I don't want any of your funny business, nerd," Lionel exclaimed. "We're already one point down."
"I'm offended," Bobby exclaimed. "There's no way I'd pass up a challenge just to hurt you."
"Oh, right, because you've never done that before," Lionel snorted sarcastically.
"Campers, are you ready?" Chris asked as Annie climbed into her catapult. "Do you trust your launcher?"
"I guess," Lionel sighed.
"I don't really have a choice," Annie moaned.
"Then fire away!" Chris exclaimed.
Both Bobby and Edward could adjust the angle and direction of the catapult as they eyed the target in the distance.
"Let's see…trajectory…wind resistance…gravitational pull," Bobby muttered to himself as he positioned the catapult.
"Whoa, all those smart terms must mean that you know what you're doing," Beatrice exclaimed. "You're in good hands, Lionel!"
Edward seemed to spot something, then he prepared to fire. He pulled the lever and Annie was launched into the hair. She screamed a high pitch squeal.
"She's doing good," Nicole exclaimed eagerly.
Bobby fired next. Lionel had curled up into a cannonball, but resisted the urge to scream. Both of them were zooming towards the large target. Lionel landed directly in the center and received a bouncy landing. Annie less lucky and ended up crashing face first into a tree.
"And the Screaming Badgers win round two!" Chris exclaimed. "Putting the game at a tie."
Nicole, Edward, Bobby, and Beatrice rushed to the campers who had been launched.
"Good job, Lionel!" Beatrice cheered as she wrapped her arms around the shirtless boy.
"Yeah, no love for the guy who did all the work," Bobby scoffed under his breath.
"Annie, are you okay?" Edward asked the girl as she rubbed her head.
"You did that on purpose," she accused. "I knew I couldn't trust you. I knew it."
"Annie, snap out of it," Nicole ordered. "What happened was a complete accident. If it hadn't been for the tree, you might have gotten a decent score."
Annie was ready to argue more, but Nicole gave her an expression that said the discussion was over.
Confessional:
Nicole-I'm aware that I shouldn't let my guard down around Edward, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to accuse him of everything that goes wrong. Annie needs to get her focus back to the game.
Edward-Well, that worked out nicely. But I still need a way to spin this into being Nicole's fault.
Bobby-I know it's in my best interest to put my grudge aside for this challenge. But Lionel had better not think he's off the hook yet.
(The Mess Hall)
"…and another thing, I demand that you cut down the amount of vinegar you use in your stew," Momma DJ complained.
She was currently using her free time to recite to Chef the list of complaints she had compiled over the weeks.
"Look, lady, I'm the chef here," Chef Hatchet argued.
"That's absurd," Momma DJ sniffed. "I have books publish simply listing the 'don't's of cooking. I'm up to volume five. I think I know a little more about cooking than you."
Before Chef could argue, Sooz burst in frantically.
"I need to hide out here," she explained. "Sophie wants to kill me."
Sooz took a quick glance out the window and cringe. She then rushed into the kitchen.
"Hey, you can't go in there!" Chef barked.
Momma DJ, however, grabbed his ear and pulled him back.
"I'm not finished with you," she declared. "We need to talk about the lack of napkins…"
Sooz looked around the disastrous kitchen and tried to find a place to hide herself. She spotted what looked like a trap door on the floor and tried to open it. When she did, she found a small underground room. Eliot was currently in it and he looked shocked to see her.
"I'm innocent!" he cried as he hid something behind his back.
Sooz looked at him quizzically then jumped down to join him.
"Oh, it's just you," Eliot exclaimed.
"Yeah, I need a place to hide," she said.
Sooz then glanced around and saw that Eliot had amassed a collection of blueprints, hair samples, photos, and various other pieces of "evidence."
"So, nice place you got here," Sooz muttered.
"Yes, try to find a new spot to keep my…studies every couple of days," Eliot explained. "If I stay in one spot for too long I risk being discovered."
"And what exactly are you studying?" Sooz asked. "On second thought, don't answer."
Back in the mess hall, Sophie charged in angrily.
"Where is she?" she barked.
Chef shrugged.
"Oh, when I get my hands on her…" Sophie grumbled to herself as she left.
"Anyways, if you can't afford cloth napkins," Momma DJ continued, "I've found a trick, all you need is some thread and a—"
Suddenly a boomerang smashed through the window and clattered to the floor.
"Goodness me!" Momma DJ exclaimed.
"Sorry about that, right," Montana called. "I was just trying to show Parry how to throw a boomerang, right."
Momma DJ shook her head and muttered, "A weapon does not belong in the hands of that crazy girl, don't you think?"
"The kitchen is closed!" Chef shouted in frustration. "Get out!"
(Third Challenge)
"Attention, campers," Chris announced, "for the final challenge you will all be participating."
Annie was refusing to look at Edward now, while Beatrice was refusing to let go of Lionel. Slowly, the rest of the campers arrived in the forest where Chris was waiting.
"Mr. McClean, we need to talk about your chef," Momma DJ exclaimed. "He is completely unprofessional."
"I know, isn't he great?" Chris replied. "But let's talk about the challenge now. One camper from each team will be riding in…one of these!"
He revealed a pair of transparent spheres. They were large enough to hold someone, but there wouldn't be much room to move around.
"The first ball to arrive back at the beach will be the winner," Chris explained. "And since we're currently in a tie, this challenge will decide the overall winners."
"I don't see how this is a trust challenge, though," Nicole asked.
"Well, you see, the spheres aren't going to start here," Chris explained. "They'll be starting up there."
He pointed to a large tunnel slide that had been set up behind him.
"Seriously, how do we keep missing these things?" Bobby asked.
"Once the balls get rolling, they'll be moving at a high speed," Chris continued. "The campers not inside will have to spread out to different parts of the woods. You're jobs will be to guide the ball in the right direction. And remember, if you don't win this challenge you'll be voting someone off tonight."
Sophie spotted Sooz and snarled at her. Sooz a recoiled frightfully, but Sophie made no motion to attack her.
"Well, I can say you won't find me in one of those orbs," Momma DJ declared. "I certainly don't trust a team with clearly manic members to keep me safe."
As she spoke she stared at Montana.
"Well, that's too bad because I'm the one who gets to decide who goes," Chris declared. "And I say that campers riding in the spheres will be…Momma DJ and Eliot!"
Neither of them looked very happy.
"I'm not doing it," Momma DJ sniffed.
Nicole looked like she was going to say something, but Edward spoke first, "But it's for the team. If we don't win, someone will have to go home."
Momma DJ still didn't look happy, but she declared, "Fine, I'll do it, but keep the crazier members under control."
"You don't have to worry because I'm not going," Eliot declared. "Those orbs look highly suspicious. I'm pretty sure this is just an elaborate trap."
"You're going alright," Sophie ordered as she grabbed him.
"No, you don't know what you're dealing with," Eliot moaned as he was dragged to the top of the slide.
He was shoved inside the transparent ball and immediately looked around frantically for a way out. Momma DJ also entered her ball and did not look happy about.
"Okay, the rest of you, spread out," Chris ordered. "The balls will be launched soon."
The teams dispersed into the woods. Soon Chris gave the signal and the two balls began rolling down the slide. The shot out of the tube and began rolling with incredible speed. Both of the occupants were blubbering incoherently. As they started rolling past tree, Sophie and Bobby emerged.
"Push!" Sophie ordered as they two charged at Eliot's ball.
They managed to get him rolling back in the direction of the beach. Nicole also tried to push Momma DJ in that direction, but wasn't able to give it enough force.
"Edward!" she called. "She's rolling that direction. Get her back on course."
"On it," Edward called back, but he was shoved aside by Annie.
"I'll handle it," she said.
Annie rushed after Momma DJ's spinning ball, but Edward followed after her.
"I said I've got it," Annie shouted at him.
"You might not be able to move it on your own," Edward argued.
"Are you calling me weak!" Annie cried.
The two managed to catch up with the rolling sphere and shoved it back in the right direction. Meanwhile, nearer to the edge of the forest, Lionel and Sooz were waiting together.
"So, do you know who you'll be voting for next?" Lionel asked.
"No question about it," Sooz replied. "That remind me, I haven't checked my Facebook page today."
"How exactly did that remind you?" Lionel asked.
"I dunno, everything makes me think of Facebook from time to time," Sooz replied as she flipped out a device.
The duo saw the two balls approaching. Eliot had a clear lead.
"We've got this!" Lionel exclaimed, then quieter, "I guess we'll have to wait for a bit before we get rid of our mutual enemy."
Nearby, Parry and Montana had also spotted the approaching orbs.
"We'll never win now," Parry moaned.
"How many times do I have to tell you to never give up hope?" Montana exclaimed. "Now watch this."
Montana scaled up a tree and swung over to Momma DJ's sphere. She landed on top of the rolling ball and managed to keep her balancing on it.
"You!" Momma DJ gasped as she saw Montana.
Montana grinned then used her feet to roll the ball even faster. Soon she had past Eliot. Lionel and Sooz shoved Eliot's orb with enough force to catch up with her though. Montana was able to make all the turns just by shifting her weight. Both balls were rolling head to head.
"I'm going to die," Momma DJ moaned.
The beach was in view now. However, a bump on the ground was enough to send Montana flying off of the ball and into some shrubs. Momma DJ maintained her speed though and managed to keep up with Eliot. Both balls were slowed down and eventually stopped by a large puddle of mud just outside the beach.
"Oh no!" Montana exclaimed.
She looked around for another teammate who could push the ball in time. She spotted Ethan.
"Ethan!" she cried.
The boy was too focused on a seashell that he had found to hear her, though. Beatrice, on the other hand, had arrived at the muddy ground and was slowly pushing Eliot towards the sand. Montana sighed to herself then charged towards Momma DJ's orb. She managed to arrive and started pushing as fast as she could.
"And the winner is…" Chris announced.
…
…
…
…
…
"Eliot and the Screaming Badgers!"
Beatrice let Eliot out of the orb and he immediately burst out of it and ran to hide. Momma DJ was furious when she came out of her ride.
"You could have gotten me killed!" she shouted at Montana. "I could feel my brains being scrambled. That was an incredibly reckless move."
"But it was fun," Montana protested.
"Finally," Sophie exclaimed to her team as she saw that they had won. "Now we just need to keep this up to the merge."
Lionel and Sooz shared a glance. It was so quick that no one else noticed. Meanwhile, the Killer Flounder were angrily blaming each other."
"Well, if Ethan had been a little more diligent then we might have won," Nicole pointed out.
Edward realized that Ethan was one of his few potential allies and pointed out, "but that wouldn't have happened if we'd gotten off to a better start."
As he spoke he made sure to gesture at both Annie and Nicole.
"Oh, and I suppose you had nothing to do with that," Annie challenged.
"As a matter of fact, I did not," Edward declared. "Nicole was unable to get the ball rolling and she asked me to go get it. If you'd stayed behind, you could have given it the boost it needed to pull ahead."
"Let's not blame each other, right mates," Montana exclaimed.
"She's right," Parry added. "You can all just blame me. I already do."
(The Campfire)
"Killer Flounder," Chris greeted, "It's been a while since I've seen you all here. I guess all good things have to come to an end some time."
Several campers were glancing at each other angrily. Ethan remained oblivious and Parry just kept his eyes down.
"Almost everyone had at least one vote for them tonight," Chris declared, "everyone except the person who was most responsible for your loss…Ethan."
Ethan caught his marshmallow and smiled.
"As for the rest of you, though," Chris said. "Any one of you has a chance of being eliminated. But it won't be…Annie…"
"…or Parry…"
"…or Edward."
The three mentioned each caught a marshmallow. Now all that remained were Nicole, Momma DJ, and Montana.
"One of you three managed to rack up more votes than anyone else on your team," Chris declared. "However, also safe is…Nicole!"
Montana and Momma DJ just glanced at each other with annoyance.
"And so it comes down between you two," Chris said. "Our last veteran family member and our Australian immigrant. One is a great cook among other things, but tends to be a little crabby. The other is a fun loving girl, but can cause a bit of damage when—"
"Get on with it," Momma DJ sniffed.
"Fine," Chris sighed, "the final marshmallow of the night goes to…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"Montana."
Montana cheered as she grabbed the marshmallow. Momma DJ stuck her nose up and moved away from her former team.
"Clearly, I was too good for the lot of you," she declared as she walked down the Dock of Shame.
"Good riddance!" Chef shouted at her from his mess hall as he cackled to himself.
"The rest of you are safe for tonight," Chris declared. "If you don't want to go home, I say you make sure you don't fall into a losing streak of your own."
The campers stood up. Montana happily joined Parry who managed a small smile for her. Annie smiled at her too, before glancing at Edward with annoyance.
Votes:
Nicole-Ethan may have been responsible for our loss, but I think it's time for Annie to go. She's just be too difficult.
Edward-I tried to convince everyone to vote off Nicole, but they all seem to have other plans. Oh well, it can't hurt to try.
Ethan-I vote for Parry. Out of everyone I think he'd be the least mad. He doesn't, like, seem to get mad.
Momma DJ-I'm getting rid of that psycho Australian girl. She's out of control.
Annie-I vote for Edward. He launched me into a tree; that was no accident, no matter what Nicole says.
Montana-I vote for Mrs. DJ, right. She doesn't seem to like me for some reason and I'd rather not have to put up with her, right.
Parry-I guess I'll vote for Momma DJ, she was sort of mean to Montana. But of course, I know that my single vote won't actually make a difference.
(Conclusion)
"Wasn't that great? Now all their trust issues have been resolved," Chris exclaimed, "or exploited; whatever, it's basically the same thing. With Momma DJ gone, that does it for the family and friends; now it's just the pure new guys. Is Annie getting too wrapped up about bringing down Edward? Or is Edward too wrapped up about Nicole? Can Sophie managed to bully her way to the top? Next time Chef gets to be a bit of a bully himself and we're sure to see a few meltdowns. So be sure to come back for another episode of Total…Drama…Refresh!"
