Hi guys! I am really soory about the long update it's just that for the last week I've been on holiday at the Isle of Wight and the hotel I was staying in didn't offer internet. But I promise promise PROMISE I will do another update sometime this week. XD
The Screaming Dolphins
The team seem to be getting on smoothly as they went around in a circle telling each other information about themselves. But things start to get bumpy as Amelia's turn approaches.
"So yeah, I like to draw and listen to music a lot. And I don't mind theatre as well." Catty says, blushing slightly.
"So you're a fan of performing arts? I myself am a keen admirer. I just find myself so caught up in the passion of the actors and deep meanings of the well spoken words". Jerome says staring intently with bright blue eyes. Catty nods eagerly. "Yeah, exactly! I love theatre because of those reason's too!" She says, eyes widened. Jerome smiles at her and she blushes. "Um, yeah. So I like theatre".
Most of the girls sigh dreamily at Jerome.
*IN THE BATHROOM CONFESSIONAL*
Catty: "Ok, I don't want to sound really cheesy or something but don't you just think that Jerome is kind of… MAJORLY HOT!" She blushes. "Wait that came out wrong…"
*END CONFESSIONAL*
Tori smiles at Jerome. "So you're a big fan? That's really cool! So what's you're favourite… um…script writer! Yeah script writer I think that's it…"
Jerome grins back at her. "I promise I'll discuss it with you later Tori, but right now we're in a challenge! So let's finish first".
Tori swoons over him. "Oh, okay! You're committed to the game I can totally respect that!"
Oliver frowns.
*IN THE BATHROOM CONFESSIONAL*
Oliver: "I don't get why every girl on my team is swooning all over Jerome. Especially Tori. Man, I thought she might be into me. I could understand what the fuss was about if there was a 75% off sale at the video game store back home but the fuss over Jerome? I just don't understand what the big deal is."
*END CONFESSIONAL*
"Anyway, Amelia you're up next. Tell us about yourself." Oliver says. The team turns to stare at Amelia. A blush creeps across her skin.
"Um. There's nothing really to tell."
Joe shuffles closer to her. "Come on Amy, there must be something you can tell us."
Amelia stared at him coldly. "It's Amelia, not 'Amy'. And I have nothing to tell you. Everything about me is personal and private, all of which I do not wish to share with you. You should save your breath and move onto the next person". She glares at Joe but he doesn't budge.
"Alright, we'll move on but I'll get something out of you sooner or later". He says, winking at her.
Amelia lets a small smile escape her lips. "We'll see about that".
Jerome looks around the circle of contestants. "I think that's everyone apart fro-"
"HELLO? HELLO? HAH, IS THIS THING ON?" Both teams cover their ears and cringe in pain as the loudspeaker sounds out Izzy's voice.
"OH OK IT IS ON. SORRY FOR SHOUTING GUYS! HA, SORRY! Ok, you're 2 hours are up and you must all report to the sky deck for second part of the challenge. NOW. OK BYE!"
Both teams exit their now unlocked rooms and head to the sky deck. Amelia grabs Joe's arm and whispers in his ear. "I love reading and writing poetry. Its...It's my passion". She pulls back and blushes. Joe grins.
"Poetry huh? Nice."
Maria frowns.
*IN THE BATHROOM CONFESSIONAL*
Maria: "I can already see alliances being made. I need at least 2 poor suckers to join me in my OWN alliance, but who?"
*END CONFESSIONAL*
Both teams gather on the sky deck where Chris, Izzy and Heather are waiting for them. Katrina groans. "Finally. That fitness centre was getting really stinky and stuffy in there".
Heather scowls. "Stop complaining punk girl. You're not the one that had to carry huge boxes full of venomous snakes for the next part of your stupid challenge".
Katrina glares at her. "Oh whatev- wait, did you just say snakes?"
TJ gasps. "Snakes? Why do we need snakes for the challenge?"
Chris stomps his foot on the ground. "Hea-ther! You just gave away the challenge!" Heather shrugs. "Whatever."
Chris frowns. "Anyway... Killer Whales, Screaming Dolphins, it is now time for the second part of your challenge. Both teams did well on the bonding things although SOME of you refused to co operate. Which could cause your team to lose". Chris glances accusingly at Amelia. She scowls at him. "Just carry on the explanation please".
"No, I'll carry on" Heather states, pushing Chris out of the way. "This part of the challenge consists of a relay obstacle course that 5 of your team mates will have to do. It also includes a few hundred snakes, you know, just for fun." she grins.
Israela puts up her hand. "Do we get to choose who does the obstacle course?"
Izzy shakes her head. "Nu-uh! That's our job."
Greg puts up his hand. "So where does the whole bonding thing come in then?
Flynn nods. "Yeah, because I don't see how that will help at the moment."
Chris grins. "Oh trust me it will help. We'll get to see just how much you've been listening to each other."
Maria rolls her eyes. "Yeah, right. Is this a reward challenge?"
Chris raises his eyebrow. "Like I'm going to tell you!"
The contestants groan. "Ooh ooh! Let me pick for the Killer Whales!" Izzy's says. Heather rolls her eyes. "Fine".
"Ok um, if I call your name, stand over to the right: Sam, Dai, Alexis, TJ and Mike".
Alexis gasps. "Wait, what! why me? I hate obstacle courses!"
Stone smirks. "Aren't you meant to be a cheerleader? I thought you were meant to be athletic".
Alexis growls. "I am athletic! I never said I COULDN'T do it. I just wouldn't LIKE to do it".
"Whatever, sweetheart". Stone says.
"Ok shush EVERYONE!" Maria shouts. the Killer Whales turn to look at her. "Does everyone remember what we have to do? Sam, do you remember everything?"
Sam hesistates. "I think so... I should anyway". Maria growls. "That's not good enough. We can't be losers people!"
Israela smirks. "Look, calm down Maria. Stop putting so much pressure on people and stay calm."
Maria scowls. "SHUT IT. Lets all go over there and plan our strategy where the other team can't hear us."
As Maria storms off to the other side of the deck Israela stick her foot out and Maria trips falling flat on her face. "Whoops! Sorry Maria, me and my foot spasms!" she giggles. Maria growls and dust herself off.
Colby laughs. "I thought you were meant to be all peaceful and not cause war? You know, like a normal hippy?"
Israela smiles at him. "Well when war comes knocking at your door, drop the flowers and grab the big guns!"
Colby laughs again. "You just made that up didn't you?"
"More or less... Just sounded like a wise thing to say!" She says, before joining the others. "Come on!".
*IN THE BATHROOM CONFESSIONAL*
Colby: "Don't you think the name Israela is actually a really cool name? I really like that name. And don't you think Israela is actually pretty funny? I think she's funny. But, I'm not into her though...nah, not me... so... not into her..."
*END CONFESSIONAL*
"Ok, Screaming Dolphins. Your team candidates will be Liam, Flynn, Isabelle, Katrina and Jerome. Ok, now that we've got that bit cleared we can get on with the challenge. Follow me to the main deck everyone!" Heather says.
Katrina sighs. Catty whispers to her: "Hey whats wrong? Bummed that you have to do the challenge?"
She nods. "Yeah, that and I'm going to totally embarrass myself infront of Greg!"
"Don't worry! He's doing it too remember! He's definitly going to embarrass himself as well".
Katrina smiles. "Thanks for the encouragement."
Mike nudges Sam. "What is it dude?"
"I can't do obstacle courses! Especially one with snakes! If this was a video game I'd be all over it!"
Sam smirks. "Relax dude! This course can't be that hard."
Both teams follow the three co hosts to the main deck to find the obstacle course waiting for them.
"You're right Sam, this course can't be hard. IT CAN BE SUPER MEGA CRAZY IMPOSSIBLE!" Mike hisses. Sam slowly nods.
The obstacle course consists of buckets full of cobra's, high hurdles, puddles of mud and water, booby traps, climbing walls, snappy crabs and interns on the sidelines with paint ball guns and buckets full of snakes, ready to throw at the competitors.
Chris grins at the stunned contestants.
"Ok, so I'm still not seeing how the bonding thing comes in" Isabelle says.
"Ah-hah. That comes in especially handy because at the start of each course you will be asked a question about your fellow team mates. If you answer that question correctly, you'll be able to skip part of the course and possibly a whole lot of pain. So, I hope you've all been listening. And the 5th round of the relay holds a very special surprise..." Chris grins.
"So now, you have to pick out of your teams five candidates who's going first. You have 1 minute". Heather says.
Maria turns to her team. "Ok Killer Whales, lets get deciding."
Alexis cringes. "Ugh! Would you stop bossing us around? You're not the team leader!"
Maria glares. "Fine! If you're so sure of yourself, YOU go first." Alexis scowls and turns up her nose at Maria. "Fine! I will go first then."
Maria smirks. "Good. Then that's sorted."
Tori fidgets. "So...who's going to go first?"
The team stays silent. "Come on guys! Have a little team spirit! Who's going to take one for the Screaming Dolphins!" Tori says, encouraging her team.
Flynn sighs. "Fine. I'll do it."
Greg pats him on the back. "Way to go dude! Get out there and win!"
Heather claps her hands. "Ok guys! Time is up! Would the chosen candidates please come forward!"
Alexis and Flynn step up to where Izzy and Chris are standing at the beginning of the obstacle course. "Hi guys! Don't worry about the snakes, they're actually pretty fun! Ok anyway... Alexis!" Izzy says.
Alexis stares at her. "Yeah...?"
"I'll be asking you a question about one of your team mates and remember, if you answer it right you can skip the the first part of the course which are the highest hurdles, the 4 buckets of hypnotized cobra's and the icky mud puddles. Got it?" Alexis nods. "Good! Ok, question: What is Isabella's favourite part about going on a cruise ship around the world?"
Alexis thinks for a second. "That's easy! She was going on and on about it!"
"Hey!" Isabella shouts out.
"Sorry Bella! Ok, um Isabella's favourite part about going on a cruise around the world is all the fantastic scenery for her art work!"
"CORRECT! You may make your way down to the area marked in green." Izzy says. Alexis struts towards the area and is handed a helmet and a plastic shield. Izzy grins at her. "Just for safety!"
Chris smiles at Flynn. "Ok dude, you know how it goes. Question: Why did Tori take up athletics?"
Flynn smirks. "Easy! To help her gain balance and stop being so clumsy!"
Chris grins. "Correct-omundo! Go stand over where Alexis is..." Flynn gets handed his shield and helmet and jogs over to the green area. Alexis sniggers at him. "You are going DOWN". Flynn smirks. "Right..."
Izzy holds up her hand. "And...BEGIN!"
Both competitors begin to run throughout the course dodging paintballs and snakes and puddles and jumping over hurdles. Flynn gets hit in the face with a snake. "AHHHHHH! GET IT OFF!" He stops and trys to grab the snake off of him. Alexis flies ahead.
Maria, Stone and Bob and Aliza stand and cheer. Maria screams and jumps. "WOOHOO! COME ON ALEXIS WE'RE BETTER THAN THOSE LOSER DOLPHINS! COME ON!"
Jerome smirks at Maria. "I very much admire your team spirit, even if my team must be insulted Maria."
Maria stops and blushes. She snarls at Jerome. "Whatever! My team is so gonna kick your BUTT! Anyway, I'm totally immune to you and your fake charm. So just stop trying."
He smiles and leans closer to her. "Immune to me you say? We'll see about that." Maria blushes. "W-w-whatever!" She says stepping away from him.
TJ sits at the back, away from both teams looking sad. Sam walks up to her and sits on the floor beside her. "Hey. What's up? You're looking down."
TJ shrugs. "Just feeling a little homesick that's all. I miss my hometown"
"So you lived really close to the country then?"
TJ grins and nods. "Right in the middle of it! I helped farm all the time!"
Sam smiles. "Don't worry about it. New experiences right? You might just really bond with something. Or someone."
TJ blushes. "Yeah. I can see that happening..."
Israela sits cross legged on one of the sun loungers, eyes closed and humming. Isabella, Dai and Colby walk up to her.
"Hey Raela! What are you doing?" Isabella asks, smiling.
"Meditating. It clears the mind of all thoughts and relives stress. Very peaceful." Israela says, opening her eyes and stretching her arms.
"Really? I'm really nervous about the obstacle course. Could you teach me?" Dai says eagerly.
"Sure! But it's better with a meditation partner for first timers. Isabella, would you like to be Dai's partner?"
Isabella glances at Dai and blushes. "Um yeah, sure!" she says sitting down on the floor, facing Dai.
Israela smiles. "Great! And Colby, would you like to be my partner? If that's ok with you..."
Colby grins. "Um yeah sure! That'd be great! I mean, cool..."
Israela laughs. "Sure! Come on sit down!" The four friends all sit cross legged on the floor, eyes closed and humming. "Wow Israela! You're right this is relaxing!" Dai says.
Maria turns around and shakes her head. "What a bunch of loons..." She turns back around and see's Aliza standing next to her looking down at her feet. Maria smiles mischievously.
*IN THE BATHROOM CONFESSIONAL*
Maria: "This is perfect! Aliza may be quiet but she would definetly make a fantastic alliance mate. PLus shes my room mate which makes it so much easier to convince her to trust me. Oh yes, this competition will be mine."
*END CONFESSIONAL*
Maria shuffles closer to Aliza. "So...Aliza! How's it going? Are you liking the game so far?"
Aliza looks up at Maria questionably and fidgets uncomfortably. "It's ok I guess...I'm just missing home. In Russia the games there were so much more pleasant and wel-"
"Yeah, yeah that's so nice." Maria says trying to sound interested. She slings an arm casually around Aliza's shoulders. "So, are you worried about eliminations? Are you scared that perhaps, the other contestants don't like you and want to vote you off the first chance they get?"
Aliza stares up at Maria worriedly. "Well...that thought never really occurred to me but now that you bring it up...yes I am quite worried..."
Maria grins. "Well I know just they way to keep you safe from the elimination the whole game...The only thing I require is your trust and loyalty".
"I guess I could give you that...What harm could it do?"
"Great that's awesome! Thanks, roomie! Just remeber what I require...TRUST and LOYALTY. " Maria say's walking away from Aliza calmly. She stares after her.
*IN THE BATHROOM CONFESSIONAL*
Maria: "Hook, Line and SINKER! YES!"
*END CONFESSIONAL*
Now very close to the finishing line, Alexis gets a bucket of snakes thrown at her and stumbles onto the ground screaming! "AHHHHHHHH! AHH! GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!"
Flynn, now covered in paintball shot's, slips and falls into a muddy puddle just behind Alexis!
"GET UP ALEXIS! COME ON DON'T BE A CHICKEN!" Stone shouts out. Hearing these words, Alexis swipes the snakes away quickly. "I am so not a chicken! SHUT UP STONE!" She gets up, dodging every obstacle and crosses the finish line.
"YES!" she cheers, jumping up and down. "Quick! Someone do the next lap!" The Killer Whales look around to see who's going to do it and Dai comes screaming and shouting out of nowhere and runs up to Izzy, for his question. "I'LL DO IT! I'LL DO IT! COME AT ME!"
Izzy grins manically. "You got a deal! Ok, what's instrument does Sam play?"
Dai stops jumping and thinks. "Um... the cowbells?"
"WRONG! You have to start from the beginning! Ready? On your mar- Hey wait I didn't say go! And you forgot your helmet and shield!"
Dai goes racing down the course until he gets hit in the face with multiple paintball shots, causing him to fall over.
Jerome shouts at Flynn eagerly. "HURRY UP FLYNN! GET UP LAD, COME ON!"
"Ugh". Flynn stumbles over and crosses the finishing line. Jerome snatches the book that Liam was calmly reading and pushes him towards Chris. "GO! GO!"
Chris chuckles. "Ok dude, question: What music genre does Catty like?"
"Um...PUNK!"
"Correct! Go stand over by the green area...get your shield and helmet...and GO!"
Liam set's off, rather clumsily and at a slow speed.
Jerome sighs. "We are so going to lose!"
"Calm down Jerome! It's probably just a reward challenge anyway. No need to bust your hump." Oliver say's shrugging.
Jerome glares and smirks. "It might not be. At least I'm trying to keep up team spirit." he says looking at his team who are lazing about on the deck.
"Whatever man." Greg says.
"Has Dai got up yet? Is he ok?" Isabella says worriedly.
"Yeah look! He's at the finish! GO DAI! WOOHOO!" TJ say's happily. "I'm gonna take the next round! Wish me luck ya'll!" she say's jogging up to Izzy, high fiving Dai on her way up.
"Hey TJ! Ok, so your question is: What country does Aliza originally come from?"
"Easy! She comes from Russia. I know because she said she was feeling homesick and-"
"JUST GO BLABBER MOUTH!" Maria shouts angrily.
"Touchy!" TJ states before grabbing her equipment and rushing to the green area and starting the course. She slips on the first muddy puddle, fails the hurdle and get's a paintball on the arm.
Mike cringes. "Ouch! Sucks to be her!"
Near the end Liam finally makes it across the finish line.
"Yes! Let's get this over and done with now." Isabelle say's walking up to the line.
"Ok Belle-"
"Don't call me that". Isabelle say's blankly.
"Whatever. Question: What sport does Greg do?"
"Not that hard. Archery".
"Correct! Here is your equipment...go to the green area... AND GO!"
Isabelle takes off with surprising speed, jumping over hurdles and climbing the walls quickly.
"Thats it Isabelle! GO!" Jerome shouts.
Isabelle soon catches up to TJ, who is being smothered by snakes, and passes her, crossing the finish line! She tags Jerome, who goes up to Chris for his question.
"Dude, here's your question: Back home, Belle is known for which personality trait?"
Jerome states the answer proudly. "Isabelle is known for her sarcastic yet charming, wit."
"Smooth dude! And correct!"
Jerome jogs down to the green area and takes his equipment.
"GO!"
TJ finally crosses the finish line and tags Sam. "Oh my gosh, I think... I'm gonna...Die." she says slumping onto the ground.
Sam runs up to Izzy. "Hey Sam! You remind me of my dog! Anyway, question: What level is Mike currently up to in his Super Mario Bros Nintendo DSI game?"
"Easy. He wouldn't stop talking about it. Level 4."
"Correct! You know what to do!"
Sam takes off, flying through the course but is too late as Jerome has already reached the finish line and is about to tag Katrina.
As soon as Sam crosses the finishing line, Heather blows a whistle and calls both teams attention.
"Good work guys! You almost made that life threatening course look easy!" The cast glare at her coldly. "But now its time for the 5th round of the relay".
"Do you see those two dunk tanks over there?" Chris says pointing to the far left of the deck.
"You mean the two filled with s-snakes?" TJ says.
"That's the one! Wow this is going to be awesome! I wish I was doing the challenge instead of you guys!" Izzy says.
"Me too". Heather mumbles. "Well anyway, the two final contestants must answer one question as they sit in the dunk tanks. If they answer it correctly they can exit the tank, ring that gong on the other side of the deck and win the challenge!"
"But if they answer it incorrectly, they will be dunked and have to swim through a pool of venomous snakes before running to ring the gong. So would the remaining players please make their way to tanks". Chris says.
Katrina walks hesistantly over to Chris and Izzy. Mike follows. "You can do this Mike!" Colby cheers. "Go on Katrina!" Catty says.
Mike looks down at pool of snakes slithering just below his feet. He sways dizzyingly. Katrina gulps.
"Comfortable?" Chris asks grinning. Katrina glares. "Well Katrina this is it. Question: What did Jerome say he likes best about performing arts?"
Katrina thinks over this. "He said...um...Oh! He said he likes the passion of the actors and the...deep meaning of the words!"
"Well Katrina. I am pleased to say that you are...CORRECT! No snake bath for you! Go and ring the dong!"
"YES!" Katrina cheers beginning to get down from the tank.
"Ok Mike, question: What does Colby like to do in his spare time?"
Mike fidgets in his seat and hesitates. "Um...er...Colby likes to...play Super Maria Galaxy on Wii?"
Izzy chuckles. "That is so Incorrect! Which means... DUNK TIME FOR YOU! HAHA!" She hits the target, causing Mike to be drowned in a tub of snakes!
"AGGGHHHH!" Mike screams, surfacing. "SNAKES! SNAKES! AHHHH!" he jumps out of the tank and runs for the gong!
Katrina sprints as Mike catches up with her and she rings the gong! The Screaming Dolphins cheer her on and congratualte her.
"WOOOHOOO!"
"Go Kat!"
"WE WIN YOU LOSE!" Jerome boasts.
The Killer Whales glare at Mike accusingly. "I am so voting you off Geek Wad!" Maria hisses to Mike.
"Except that for today's challenge, there will NO voting off!" Chris states. Maria groans.
"Yes! So what reward do we get?" Flynn asks.
"Uh, we never said there was a reward!" Heather says sniggering. The Screaming Dolphins groan and the Killer Whales chuckle.
Chris turns to the camera, grinning. "Well folks, that's all for today! Find out what kind of dangerous, exciting and life threatening challenges our contestants will face next on TOTAL...DRAMA...WORLD CRUISE!"
Ok so next destination is ITALY! I'm open to Ideas for challenges so tell me about them and PM for anything else!
Love Peace Happiness
