Total Drama Around the World


Chapter 11: Viva Mexico

" oh yeah! " Courtney yelled as she dove into the pool. Cody jumped in behind her " banzai! "

" yo this food is top shit " Pauly said, taking hungry bites at the seafood provided for him

" I enjoy kicking back like this " Alejandro added while folding his arms behind his head. Deena sat next to him and handed him a drink " here ya go "

" thanks, my lovely señorita " Alejandro said and he took the glass from her. Deena looked around the area " has anybody seen Ronnie? "

" where do you think he is? " Noah replied while turning the page to his book. Pauly snickered " oh he's probably out smushing Sammi ". Courtney splashed water at where Pauly was sitting " will you not say such filthy things out loud "

" oh c'mon honey, you know it's true " Pauly joked and Courtney groaned " idiot that's not the point "

Meanwhile with Team Get Backers...

" second class again " Heather muttered

" don't worry, anything is better than third class and we get to stay together longer " Owen said

" well Sammi's enjoying her time " Snooki added

" she ran off with her 'boo' " Corey joked " she played Mike like a dummy though "

" from what I know they didn't even hook up, so why's Mike acting all moody " Heather said

" didn't Mike say Sammi had kissed him " Trent added and Snooki interjected " just cuz you kiss someone doesn't mean you're dating. You gotta make it official first, so technically she was single "

" yeah, she's right Trent " Gwen said

" hah, what do you know about how couples are formed gothy. In your book you kiss boyfriends then make them dump their girlfriends " Heather said laughing " you're the last person who should be speaking here ". Corey snickered " heh heh "

" oh really, and in your book you knock boyfriends off volcanoes " Gwen retorted and Heather smirked " we kissed but we didn't make anything official, so in standards we weren't a couple "

Snooki high fived her " that's true " and Gwen scoffed " whatever "

The third class was quieter than usual. Nobody knew what were the right words to say. Duncan sneaked a glance at Mike who was laying on the wooden bed with his back towards everyone.

" too bad Clay left, I liked the guy " Izzy said trying to start a conversation and break the ice

" thanks to Angelina " Vinny replied

" like I'd let you morons vote me out " she snapped back

Confessional

Angelina: you guys are probably wondering why I rigged it for Clay and not Mike right? Look I know I'm a bitch and all that but even I couldn't kick Mike out after he got ditched by the girl he liked, it was too much. Besides this could be interesting. I'll vote his ass out next time though

End of Confessional

" hey it was to cheer Mike up " Duncan added " if you left the guy might've felt better. Way to think about others Ange " he finished with a grin

" and you guys seriously couldn't think of something better " Angelina said. Vinny spoke up again " it was like all at the moment and it was quick thinking, besides I bet Mike would've-.. "

" yo guys I'm fine alright, stop making this into a freaking case or something " Mike said, annoyed that they were talking like he wasn't there.

Another awkward silence ensued until Jwoww spoke " so... how was everyone's day? "

At a more secluded area of the ship was where the two missing teammates were at. Sammi had her arms wrapped around Ronnie's neck while he had his on her waist. The two were gazing into each others eyes lovingly.

" Ronnie I'm really looking forward to seeing what this leads to " Sammi said excitedly

" me too, at first I thought coming to Total Drama was the best thing to ever happen to me but it's not. You are Sammi, you are "

" really? " Sammi asked as she leaned closer

" really " he replied and he pressed his lips to her. She ran her hands in his faux hawk and pulled him closer. Ronnie liked the feel of her soft hands on him, of kissing her, and of holding her. He liked everything about her.

" I don't know what it is about you, but I could kiss you all day " Ronnie said as they broke apart. The comment made her smile " me too Ron "

Chris's voice in the speakers interrupted their nice moment " okay crewmates we have landed "

" Ronnie I'm kind of worried this show might mess it up for us. It's done it with Trent's relationship as well as Courtney's relationship, even Owen's "

" those guys just let the bullshit get to them Sam. We won't let it get to us, we'll trust nobody's crap and we won't let outsiders butt in. It'll be us to the end alright baby girl " Ronnie reassured and Sammi leaned up and kissed him " sounds good "

The two walked back to the deck hand in hand. Chris smirked when he saw them " well, well when did you guys get together? " and as Ronnie was about to speak Chris cut him off " just kidding I already knew, cameras told me you smooched "

" ew, you pervert " Sammi said

" that's the same thing I said " Chef added

" heyyyy! I'll have you know that those are strictly for security and safety purposes " Chris said in an offended tone " what do you take me for some guy who locks kids in his closet "

" can we move on from the awkward conversation that's beginning to start " Jwoww demanded

" yeah and besides Sammi do you think I want Courtney's lawyers shoved down my throat again "

" ugh, I told you Chris that stuff's all behind me "

" anyway crewmates like I was saying, we've landed so out you go " Chris ordered and the crewmates all got off the boat " say hello to Mexico or in your case Alejandro, hola "

" hey! Don't mock the 'Burromuertos' alright, we pride ourselves in our Spanish speaking abilities "

" you know your big and bad last name translates to 'dead donkey' right? " Heather stated with a snicker. Alejandro shot daggers at her " oh be quiet you're just jealous your last name doesn't have a huge family history like mines "

Chris tuned out their bickering " alright our first challenge will take place in Mexico's well renowned 'Palacio de Bellas Artes' or 'Palace of Fine Arts' located in Mexico city, it's the heart of Mexico. The place is known for it's events in music, dance, theatre, opera and most of all it's variety of art "

" imagine if we do a music challenge again, this time I'd actually show off my musical talents " Corey boasted to his teammates. Gwen looked at him in disbelief " what kind of musical talents Corey, do you rap or something? "

" why you gotta go racial, look don't put me in a box " Corey said with a slight glare " what just cuz I'm black I can't listen to Kings of Leon or Linkin Park? ". Gwen gave him an apologetic look " look you're right sorry, so what kind of music talents? "

Corey gave her a snicker " rap " and with that Sammi laughed " haha good one "

" ugh grow up Corey " Gwen retorted and Corey placed his arm around her " aww c'mon Gwen I was only messing with ya "

A bus soon arrived with Chef in front " that's our ride to the challenge area so hop in " Chris said

" yo I call shotgun " Pauly joked

" heheh sorry bro, but shotgun's all mine " Chris said " but you can sit next to Courtney I'm sure you'd prefer that better "

Pauly pulled Courtney towards him " yeah buddy, I'd rather sit with my honey ". Courtney laughed and pushed his arm off " just get on "

" oohh yo Pauly let's sit at the back " Vinny suggested. Corey grinned " word, that was the best seat to sit at back in high school "

" heh, yeah we use to throw paperballs at the nerds " Duncan said, shooting a glance at Cody

" oh no " Cody squealed

The crewmates boarded the bus and began taking their seats. Mostly all the boys sat in the back except for Cody and Noah who sat in the middle. Ronnie took a seat next to Sammi and Courtney sat next to Pauly in the back.

Corey motioned Owen to sit next to Izzy " dawg she's alone, now's your chance ". Owen rushed over to Izzy's side " uh hey Izzy is this seat taken? "

Izzy gave him her big smile " hiya big O, you can sit with Izzy if you want ". Owen gave a thumbs up to Corey and happily sat down next to Izzy.

" 'O' if you need help use this " Corey whispered as he passed a note to Owen " those are some pick up lines guaranteed to make you score "

" gee thanks buddy " Owen whispered back

" you comfy Sam? " Ronnie asked as he placed an arm around her. She laid her head on his arm " I am now, thanks baby "

Mike saw this from a few seats behind them and snorted. Duncan who was sitting next to him nudged him " c'mon don't sulk, attack the nerds it's fun ". He grabbed a paper and scrunched it into a ball " watch and learn Mikey ". He tossed the paperball and it hit Cody " hey not cool "

Duncan managed to make Mike chuckle with his action.

" whoa! Check out the hot Mexican girls " Corey shouted as he peered through the window

" dude where? " Duncan asked and Corey pointed towards a car driving next to them " there "

" hey ladies, want to see what's it's like to date a great man like me " Cody said through the window and Noah laughed " they probably won't even understand a word your saying "

" yo ladies wanna date a celebrity! I'm going to be a millionaire soon too " Vinny called out but the girls ignored both him and Cody.

Alejandro sent one a wink " hola querida, que bella te vez ". The girl smiled and blew a kiss to him before making a left. Both Heather and Deena glared at the girl.

" WHAT! " Cody said in disbelief " what did you say to them Alejandro? "

" yeah, what the hell? " Vinny protested

" I said 'hi beautiful you look wonderful' "

Corey went and sat next to him " my Hispanic friend you must teach a brother some Spanish "

" me too " Mike added and Duncan smirked " yeah we just might become close friends "

" excuse me, Duncan what did you say " Gwen snapped at him. Duncan raised his hands up in defense " hey c'mon I was only joking "

" boys " Snooki said before turning to Trent " of course I know you aren't like them, right Trent? "

" of course not Snooks " Trent replied putting his arm around her " I'm more refined hehe "

Confessionals

Snooki: my Trent is such a gentleman, we'd have like the cutest babies

Gwen: Duncan is like so immature sometimes geez... *sighs sadly* not like Trent

Heather: these stupid girls flirting with Alejandro, ugh *blinks two times* not like I'm jealous or anything. I'm just saying why waste your time on a person like Alejandro

End of Confessionals

When Corey saw how Snooki reacted to Trent's comment he motioned for Owen to read the note, and he took the hint " Izzy, these guys are so blind why flirt with those girls when someone like you is here. You outclass all those girls "

" wow big O you're real flirty with Izzy " Izzy said as she snuggled on his arm. Owen turned to Corey and mouthed a thank you

" Yo get these trucks to honk " Ronnie said as a truck was passing. Him and Vinny opened the window and did the little honking signal with their arms. The passing truck honked the horn in return.

" aha ha, he did it " Ronnie said

Courtney had tuned out everything that had occurred and was far more interested in viewing the sights " wow awesome " she whispered. Pauly turned towards her and chuckled " honey, you like the view? "

" I've always liked Mexico, I've read in brochures about how it's a great vacation spot " Courtney replied without moving her gaze from the window

" maybe when this is over we could come back "

What made Courtney face him was the actual serious tone she had heard and when she saw his face he had a sincere expression. She studied his face and was a little surprised to see another side to the spikey-haired goof ball. It was then that she admitted to herself how truly handsome he was.

" are you into Pauly D? "

Deena's words from the girl talk they had rang through her mind and she lowered her head. Was it true? No it couldn't be right? She was brought out of her thoughts when Pauly placed a hand on her chin making her face him. As Courtney stared at him all the noises in the background were blocked out and it felt as if time had been halted.

" Courtney " Pauly said in a low tone and he slowly leaned forward. Courtney unconsciously moved forward too and just as they were about to close in the bus made a horrible brake. It caused many of the passengers to fly to the front.

" we're here maggots " Chef yelled

" damn it chef! Who gave you your license, a drunk guy at the DMV or what? " Vinny said picking himself off the floor along with Duncan " yeah man, what gives? "

" freaking warn the situation before you pull a Nascar stunt like that " Mike said

" ahh shake it off, ya pansies " Chef replied

" now everyone off " Chris demanded

Pauly irritatedly got off the bus " stupid Chef ruining my freaking moment " he muttered

" wow this place is beautiful " Courtney said, examining the building " is this the 'Palace of Fine Arts' you were talking about Chris? "

" yes it is Courtney, now get in crewmates we have a challenge to do... or you have a challenge to do " Chris said and they all glared at him as he led them inside. On top of a big stage was a set of paint buckets.

" so is this like an art challenge or something? " Jwoww asked

" if it is then it's in the bag " Gwen said. Trent smiled at her " yeah Gwen you use to draw the neatest things ". Gwen soaked up the comment and smiled back " thanks Trent, I can't believe you actually still remember "

" of course I do, they use to be real awesome and cool " Trent replied " it's what... I liked about you " he trailed off and lowered his head. It was a little hard to think of those days and he didn't want to remember it anymore. Gwen noticed discomfort and smiled sadly.

Chris spoke up again " to answer your question, yes, yes it's an art challenge to some extent "

" what do you mean to some extent? " Courtney asked. Chris smirked " this will be a special art challenge hehe " he then beckoned at Chef " oh Chef, bring out the materials ". Chef soon brought a box full of paint ball guns and balloons filled with paint " what better way to honor the palace's arts then to have you blasting each other with paint ball guns and paint balloons " Chris finished

" aww yeah! " Duncan said and he high fived Vinny " finally a challenge I can do "

" the challenge is called 'The Art of Paint Balling'. Each team will get their own paint ball gun and paint balloons, your job is simple shoot down your opposing teams. Treat it like a the real deal, if you get shot in a fatal position then consider yourself out. If you're shot on your arm it's unusable and if shot in the leg it makes you incapacitated "

" oh this is gonna be sweet " Ronnie said completely excited

Confessionals

Ronnie: are you kidding me 'paint ball', I'm a beast at that

Vinny: man this is gonna be fun, these guys won't know what hit them

Gwen: I'm not exactly a fan of paint ball. Chris has a weird view on art

End of Confessionals

" This spot right here will be the 'Deadzone', in other words it's where you go to when you have been eliminated " Chris added " Shell Bullets you will be stationed on the third floor, Get Backers you'll be on the second floor, and Monster Sharks you'll start here. Now here is your equipments, when I yell 'game on' you begin. Now get ready "

" I've never played paint ball before " Gwen said and Corey threw her a paint ball gun " it's easy Gwen just aim, shoot, stick and weave "

" the situation looks so bad ass in this mask and gun, don't he " Mike said

" heh, yeah but I look cooler " Duncan replied

" oh great now we have to dodge paint bullets, what next " Noah grumbled

" I swear Noah you're like an old guy stuck in a 19 year's body. Learn to cut loose " Deena said

Once they were all done Chris spoke " okay man your stations ". When everyone was safely in their positions Chris yelled out " Game on! "

Team Monster Sharks

" okay guys be quiet and follow me " Mike whispered

" who put you in charge " Angelina retorted

" will you guys shut up and not fight for once, god you're like an old married couple " Jwoww said

" ewww! " they both said with disgust

A flurry of shots soon burst through the area

" hit the deck! " Duncan said " and they all took cover behind wall pillars and chairs.

" ahh I'm hit " Vinny yelled as he grabbed his leg.

" take cover Vinny! " Izzy called out

Mike took a look at him from afar " it's only a flesh wound champ, you're still in this shit! " he then turned towards Duncan " Yo D! Let's lay down some return fire now! "

Duncan began shooting " eat paint! We gotta save Vinny, Mike! "

At the other end of the attack was Team Get Backers firing away.

" we've got them where we want them keep firing people, don't stop " Corey yelled

" hah this is to easy " Heather said

Team Monster Sharks were all trying to avoid getting splattered by the paint ball guns. Mike looked to where Vinny had taken cover " don't worry bro we're gonna save you okay! "

" Mike we're going to give you some cover fire and you get Vinny outta there! " Duncan said

" you guys are being so over dramatic about this whole thing " Jwoww said. Duncan grabbed her arms " with that attitude you'll get killed soldier, nobody gets left behind " he joked " c'mon this shooting thing rocks, now cover fire now! "

Duncan and his team began shooting back to cause a enough time for Mike to get to Vinny. He grabbed Vinny and dragged him back to his teammates " hey I got a busted leg bro, don't drag my ass around it hurts "

" sorry Vin it was all quick thinking, the situation had to be quick or they'd get us " Mike replied

" what do we do now, we're at a stalemate " Duncan said. Mike grabbed one of you the paint balloons " fire in the hole! "

" fire in the hole! " Duncan repeated and he ducked over the injured Vinny

" oh no I'm hit " Trent called out and Snooki rushed to his side " oh no Trent, baby you're hit ". He placed his hand on her face " it's okay Snooki I've lived a good life and most of all I met you "

" damn it " Sammi said " Corey we lost Trent "

" he was a good man " Corey said " I've fought many wars with him, his fall won't be in vain "

The sound of an elevator approaching caught the attention of the Monster Sharks and Get Backers.

Team Red Shell Bullets

Courtney pressed the buzzer and the elevator soon opened its doors " okay get in guys "

" Pauly put your mask on " Deena said and Pauly grumbled " hell no, it takes me 25 minutes to do my hair "

" Pauly just get in already " Courtney said from inside the elevator. Pauly snickered " that's what she said ". Courtney grabbed him and shoved him inside " will you cut that out ". He laughed " it's cuz you make it too easy honey "

" amigos do you hear that " Alejandro said

" hmm... sounds like someone's already battling out there " Cody exclaimed

" ready your weapons soldiers " Ronnie said " it has been a privilege working with you men "

" I like this song " Noah added randomly as an elevator tune played

" okay! Thirty seconds! Nice knowing ya " Pauly said and Cody snickered " movie references "

*DING*

As soon as the elevator doors opened a barrage of enemy paint ball bullets busted out.

" quick get out! " Ronnie yelled

" amigo we have severe casualties " Alejandro said pointing to Noah, Deena, and Courtney who had been hit " we've lost some soldiers "

" oh crap this is bad " Pauly said and Cody pulled out a paint balloon " fire in the hole! ". It successfully hit the Monster Sharks side taking out Angelina and Jwoww " hah got ya "

" shit Duncan we've lost two of our soldiers, although I could care less about one " Mike said and Angelina gave him the middle finger.

" oh no here comes another one " Izzy yelled. Vinny threw himself on the balloon and took the hit for his team. Duncan examined the fallen Vinny and saluted him like a soldier does to a general " his bravery won't be forgotten "

" oh this means war " Izzy said as she looked at Vinny " nobody shoots my partner in crime "

Heather gave a high five to Sammi " nice shot "

" way to go " Corey said " that was a good shot "

" incoming " Snooki yelled as a group of paint balloons came towards them. Heather began firing at the balloons " shoot them down ". They managed to shoot them down but one was able to hit their area. It splattered on Gwen and Owen.

" aww this sucks " Gwen said. Owen sighed in defeat " darn it "

" oh you'll pay for that " Corey said and he began firing his weapon " oh shit I'm out of ammo "

" me too " Snooki said and suddenly a paint ball bullet splattered on her " oh c'mon ". Corey looked around and there was Izzy " take that "

" separate team, hurry! " Corey yelled and a shot soon pierced his leg " I'm hit "

" heh got ya " Mike said proudly " now where are your teammates hiding? ". Corey sent him a glare " I'll never sell out my comrades to you ". Mike smirked " oh looks like we got ourselves a tough guy over here, hey Duncan check it out "

" heh now how can we get you to talk " Duncan said and he shot Corey's arm " now talk "

" ahhh! You bastards damn you! " Corey said in fake pain " it won't work, I still won't talk "

" you're a brave soul even to the bitter end, but now... " Duncan said as he Izzy, and Mike raised their weapons " you die! " and with that they shot

" seriously bro this is like mad fun " Mike said and Duncan nodded " it really is "

Behind some crates were the last members of Team Get Backers. The two girls had witnessed the whole scene. " Heather this is bad, they took Corey out, they took him out "

" we're all that's left now " Heather replied " we gotta hide and let the Shell Bullets do all the work for us, then we'll crush them "

" wow good plan " Sammi said

" yeah I know I'm a lot smarter then I look " Heather said and just as she had said that an arm went around her neck from behind. She turned to see Alejandro had her captive " now señorita drop your weapon or I'll blow her brains out "

" you wouldn't dare " Heather barked but his eyes told her otherwise " Sammi book it! " and with a slight hesitation Sammi fled the scene

" so she ran huh, oh well I still have you don't I " he said and Heather snorted at the double standard in that sentence " oh just shoot me "

" as you wish " and he pointed the paint ball gun to the mask on her head " I'll enjoy this "

" oh you can kiss my-.. "

*SPLAT*

" hah I beat you again " Alejandro said. Heather glared at him " this time only, but next time you'll be a dead donkey ". Alejandro smiled " touché "

Sammi stopped to catch her breath " god damn it I'm the only one left "

" hey babe, looks like the Code Meister has found you " Cody said " now I'd ask for a kiss and let you free but you're Ronnie's girl, and I'm not the type to steal a friend's girl. That's something Duncan would do, now I'm going to-.. "

*SPLAT*

" you talk to much " Sammi said

" aww man, well you got me " Cody replied

Unbeknownst to the two Mike had watched the scene with his teammates " guys I got her " and he shot Sammi's leg " I've been waiting for this "

" oh damn it " Sammi said and Mike grabbed her weapon and tossed it to Izzy " any last words "

" fuck you " Sammi said. Mike smirked " sorry babe but you missed your chance on that " as Mike was about to shoot a paint balloon splattered on his body.

" hah got your ass " and Mike turned to see Ronnie grinning " like I'd let you do that to her " and soon Duncan and Izzy appeared with Pauly and Alejandro behind them. The two had both been hit meaning the Monster Sharks were out.

" now I think you should do the honors in winning this for us Ronnie " Pauly stated

" uh where did she go? " Alejandro asked

" right here dumbasses " Sammi said and she tossed a paint balloon that exploded right in between all three of them

" aww damn it! C'mon! " Pauly groaned

" and the Get Backers win this one " Chris said and he approached them " now c'mon challenge number 2 await us "

Ronnie walked up to Sammi " nice one baby " and she kissed his cheek " thanks for the rescue Ron, my hero "

The crewmates boarded the bus again and it began to take them to their next destination.

" that shit was freaking fun " Duncan said

" I know right I actually had fun for once " Ronnie said " it was like a war "

" you did good out there Sammi " Corey said high fiving her " you gave us the victory ". Sammi patted his shoulder " thanks Corey "

" yeah girl you were on fire " Trent added

Confessional

Mike: Sammi's only safe cuz her little dog Ronnie is watching her every move. I'll get that bitch next time trust me

End of Confessional

They arrived at a beach " crewmates we're here " Chris called out " say hello to-... "

" Cancún! " all the girls but Gwen said in unison

" wow this place is as beautiful as all the hype says it is " Snooki said admiring the view

" I've like dreamt of marrying my hot dream guy here " Deena said happily

" if only you hadn't rented it Chris, then all the hot girls would be here " Mike said and Corey high fived him " word "

" I swear you guys have 'got' to stop cutting me off like that " Chris said annoyed " like I was saying, say hello to Cancún. Our next challenge is called the 'How Long Can I Hold My Grip Above Water' "

" what a long name, how's it work " Sammi asked

" simple Sammi, all you gotta do is hang onto these car tires you see over there " Chris stated and he pointed to a set of car tires connected to a platform by means of rope " I will then lift you 20 ft above the water and the last man or woman stand-.. er hanging wins it for their teammates "

" that's not fair though, there's only 6 of us and 7 of them! The numbers are uneven " Angelina complained

" exactly! She's right " Jwoww said

" hey it's not our fault you guys suck and lost your players " Corey said

Chris sighed " since you guys are probably going to complain for hours, only the Get Backers can use all their players seeing as how Sammi won them the challenge "

" hah our team is full of winners " Heather said sending a triumphant smirk to Alejandro

" Team Red Shell Bullets you'll only be using 6 players so Deena you can step out " Chris said

" yes! " Deena cheered " I'll admire the beach "

Heather gasped " no wait on second thought I should stay out too, y'know to make it even "

" no I should do it " Snooki said

" well I won so I should do it " Sammi added

" decisions are final ladies " Chris said " now off you go, pick a lucky one "

" hmm... this one seems stable " Vinny said as he examined the tire " alright take me to victory "

" an endurance challenge like this is nothing for a quarterback pro like me " Corey " I've been pushed to the bone back at my old football field. This is in the bag "

" okay, ready! " Chris called and without waiting for a reply he pressed the button sending the crewmates high in the sky " lift off! "

" ohh shit! We're way to high up " Jwoww said

" this is nothing for a man like me " Alejandro said and Heather who was across from him glared at him " I won't lose to you "

" Alejandro hang on tight alright and we can win this for sure " Courtney said as she clung onto the tire next to his and Alejandro nodded his head " I appreciate the encouragement "

Heather was suspicious of Courtney and she knew how bad Courtney had it for Alejandro in World Tour " stay out of it Courtney ". At this Courtney glared at her " what are you talking about, Alejandro is my teammate and I'll support him so we can win you idiot "

" what did you call me, you psycho! "

" alright cat fight " Corey cheered

" you morons don't even notice your buddies are taking a swim " Vinny said and he pointed to Owen and Noah who were in the ocean

" I'm not meant to hang onto these shits " Snooki said " I can't hold forever "

" Snooks it's okay if you let go, I'll hold on twice as much to make up for it " Trent stated

" you're my hero " she replied " I can still go on "

" hell no I am not staying on this shit any longer, Mike win this " Jwoww said and with that she dropped down

" she's right, I'll leave this to you men and Izzy " Angelina added before she too dropped down

" ya quitters! The ladies in their team aren't quitting " Mike yelled down

" speak for yourself " Snooki yelled out and she dropped to the water " eeeeehhh! ". She rose from the water " man that was scary "

" Oh crap I'm slipping " Cody said. His hands gave away and he dropped " ahh! "

Duncan who had grabbed onto the tire with an uncomfortable grip, slipped to the bottom. He plunged into the water " aww damn it "

" that's what separates the boys from the men " Pauly joked earning him a set of laughs. Duncan gritted his teeth " I heard that, kiss my ass "

" hang on team, it's down to three of us " Vinny said. Izzy gave him a grin " You got it Vinny "

" shit... Corey you gotta win this " Sammi uttered just before she let go. Corey watched as she fell into the water " don't worry I'll win for you girl "

" yo baby! You okay! " Ronnie yelled. Sammi gave him a reassuring smile " yeah I'm good! "

" hey big dawg, why don't you drop down and check on her " Mike jested and Ronnie ignored his joke " piss off kid "

Heather was running out of energy but with Alejandro still hanging on she wasn't going to give up and especially since Courtney was still there as well. What were her motives for supporting Alejandro, was there more to them then Courtney had let on?

" what's wrong señorita, are you tired? "

" bite me " Heather retorted

" don't waste your energy arguing with her and focus Alejandro " Courtney scolded and it irked Heather up " are you calling me a waste of breath, huh? ". Courtney snickered " guess you aren't as dumb as I thought you were "

" I'd crush you if I weren't occupied loser "

Alejandro turned to Courtney " take your own advice and don't waste your energy on her "

" excuse me " Heather fumed

" yo! Leave her alone! " Corey barked. Heather grinned " yeah, you tell em Corey, actually Corey let's not worry about these losers "

" you're right " Courtney added " you should worry about the crab crawling up your butt "

" WHAT! " Heather gasped in fear

Corey had caught on quick " no Heather there's noth-.. " but it was too late, Heather had used one of her hand to check, she wasn't able to hang on and fell to the water " no! "

Courtney snickered " dumbass ". Alejandro smirked " I win again! "

Heather was beyond angry " I'll destroy you! "

Pauly laughed " way to go Court "

Confessionals

Pauly: I didn't know Courtney had it in her, but she pulled off a really good prank

Gwen: I know Heather's on my team, but wow did that make my day. If only I could start all my days with her being joked on

Heather *inhales* why that *censored* little sneaky, conniving, lying piece of *censored* I'll *censored* wring her neck

End of Confessionals

Izzy who was laughing her head off lost her handle on the tire " uh oh " and with that she fell into the water " shoot "

Mike growled " fuck, this ain't good Vin, it's down to us two ". Now Vinny was getting worried " just hold on Mike "

Trent glanced at Corey " the Shell Bullets still have four people, we gotta do something "

" I know " Corey exclaimed as a thought ran through him " except for us, who here isn't into dudes, raise your hand? "

" nice try Corey " Courtney said

" so all of ya like guys "

" whoa, that's playing dirty man " retorted Mike " you're forcing me to raise my hand "

" yeah dude that's not fair " Pauly added

" plan B " Trent said. Corey looked to his side where Pauly was " it was a good one though right Pauly, high five ". Pauly was about to do it but caught onto him " not a chance bro "

Corey then glanced at Ronnie " yo Ronald you got a good team, pat yourself on the back "

" bro just give it up already " Ronnie replied

Gwen chuckled at Corey's antics. A last idea coursed through Corey " oh my god! Chris is making out with Heather! "

" Que? Maldito pero! (What? That damn dog) " Alejandro said in fury and that was enough motivation for him to let go. He plunged into the water and immediately checked on Heather " what? " there she was on land, safe and sound.

" haha I fooled you! " Corey said laughing

" ay tu pedaso de carne con patas como te atreves de hacer eso? (you piece of meat with feet, how dare you do that to me?) "

" aww crap sorry guys " Gwen mumbled and she let go. Corey sighed " guess it's just you and me T-dogg ". Trent sighed too " guess so "

Courtney couldn't take it anymore and let go a few minutes after Gwen " damn it all "

" looks like it's just us men left " Mike said

" Corey no more speaking, lets conserve our energy alright? " Trent said and Corey nodded. The six remaining contestants all stayed silent in an attempt to conserve energy. The minutes felt like hours and they were all on the verge of losing it.

*TEN MINUTES LATER*

" damn it this is torture " Pauly said. All six of them were now drenched in sweat and it didn't help that the sun was now beaming on them.

" I'm sorry Corey, but I can't go on " Trent said in a weak voice and he fell into the ocean. Due to his exhaustion Trent was barely able to stay afloat, but Snooki swam up to him and helped him " you were amazing Trent ". Trent gave a weak smile " thanks "

Seconds later Pauly dropped down too. He felt soft hands grab him and was soon facing Courtney. " I got you big guy ". Pauly relaxed under her hold " thanks " he managed to say in his weakened condition. Duncan witnessed this and quickly turned away. Courtney seemed a lot nicer now and even more mature.

Corey stared hard at the last members hanging onto the tires. He was the only one from his team left. There was no way he would lose and let Sammi's victory go in vain.

Corey had always found life ironic sometimes. That's why, when a small breeze blew in and pushed his hat off of his head he knew it was irony. When he unconsciously reached out for it with his hand after swearing that he wouldn't let go, he found it ironic. It then happened in a flash, his hand had grabbed his precious hat, but his other hand released the tire.

" oh no... " his mind thought and within seconds his tired body plunged into the water. His arms had no strength to pull him up, but soon he was being lifted by a pair of big arms. " I got ya pal "

" Owen... I'm sorry " Corey said in a low tone

" I guess Team Get Backers is guaranteed a third class ticket as well as an elimination " Chris said with a devious smile " now let's see who gets the first class ticket "

" Go! Ronnie " Deena yelled

" beat his ass Mike " Jwoww yelled

They had all ignored one contestant who was still hanging onto the tire.

*FIVE MINUTES LATER*

" I can't take it anymore " Ronnie said in a hoarse tone. Even the cocky Mike was at his limit " me neither ". The two of them slowly released their grip and fell into the water with a 'splash'.

" Ronnie! " Sammi called as she swam up to him. She pulled him out of the water " are you okay? "

" never been better " Ronnie joked

Duncan and Izzy helped Mike up. Duncan gave a slap to Mike's back " damn you must be tired "

" yo be gentle with the situation " Mike said with his usual joking tone " you're carrying precious cargo over here "

" so is this a tie or what? " Pauly said

" no way we won " Jwoww argued " Ronnie fell in the water first "

" I demand a camera conclusion " Courtney ordered. Deena raised her hand in the air " oh yeah! Chris you must've caught it on camera "

Chris grinned " I won't need it ". The crewmates eyed him, clueless about everything

" YO! " a voice rang from the sky. Everyone turned to see Vinny was still hanging onto his tire " can I get off this shit now "

" VINNY! " his team all yelled out. When he finally let go his team had caught him. Both Jwoww and Angelina embraced him.

" you did it Vinny " Angelina said

" c'mere " Jwoww said and she kissed his cheek

" you dog, you " Duncan added giving Vinny a nuggie. Mike and Izzy hugged Vinny.

Vinny grinned " alright yo, ya squishing me over here. I knew you'd guys would forget about me if I stayed quiet, seeing as how I was stationed in the back. I used that to my advantage, while all of you guys wasted your energy talking I saved mines "

" I'd expect that from my partner in crime "

Ronnie scowled " fuck, I had forgotten all about his ass ". Pauly shrugged " don't sweat it at least we're not eliminating somebody "

" okay people it's off to the S. "

Once everyone was boarded Chris turned towards Team Get Backers " meet me on the deck for eliminations, one of you losers is going home ". They all dragged their feet to the deck, where Chris was " now vote away "

Confessionals

Sammi: this sucks after me and Heather pull off a sneak victory we still end up losing

Gwen: I sure hope I don't get voted off, I'm not on friendly terms with everyone

Heather: I'm not going to blame Corey at all, I mean he lasted longer than any of us. He's also got my back, meaning an alliance in the future is definitely possible

Owen: oh no I hate voting out my buddies

Trent: who do I vote for... it can't be Snooki for a fact, not Corey he's way to useful, Sammi just got together with Ronnie and I'd hate to break it up I'm not Duncan I don't ruin relationships, I won't vote for Gwen she's cool, so that leaves Owen and Heather

Corey: *punches wall* damn it! I can't believe I lost. Everyone was counting on me

Snooki: okay time to vote, the choice is really simple actually

End of Confessionals

" now that all of you have voted, let's begin the elimination ceremony " Chris announced " first seaweed on a stick goes to Trent, c'mon up "

" aww righteous " Trent said happily

" there's one here for Sammi and one for you Snooki ". The two girls high fived

" another one for you Corey and you Heather ". They took theirs and sat back down

" Owen, Gwen only one left. The last seaweed on a stick goes too...

" Gwen! "

" what! You guys voted for Owen! " Corey said angrily " why? I'm the one who lost! How could you guys vote for him, he-.. " he was cut off when an arm was placed on his shoulder " it's alright pal "

" No! It's not dog! I failed you... not just on the challenge, but.. I couldn't get Izzy back for you "

" but you tried... that's all that matters. There'll be other chances and I enjoyed becoming friends with you... we're best friends " Owen said sadly but he then smiled big " now good luck buddy " and he walked to the plank of shame

Corey extended his hand out for a handshake and Owen happily took it. " Owen my pal, I give you my word... I vow to win "

Chris turned to the camera " and that concludes this episode. The Get Backers managed to win the first challenge after Sammi pulled a sneaky victory, but the victory didn't last long. Vinny managed to steal it for his team gaining them the first class ticket. A sad goodbye was said with Owen and his best pal Corey, but the guy seems more determined than ever. Question is, will Corey hold any hard feelings with his team? Find out on the next Total Drama Around the World "


Author's Notes

*wipes a tear* such a sad parting with Owen and Corey. I had a hard time eliminating Owen, but it had to be done. Don't worry about the Izzy/Owen thing, it's all planned. I'm so glad the new season of JS starts today!
