Thank you all readers and reviewers!! Totally Total Drama Island is probably around halfway done! Enjoy this chapter!

The white box wasn't exactly a box. It was more like two small rooms connected by a very short hallway. But all the same, if you were in it for long enough you could possibly end up going mad.

Sarah looked around nervously. Right, left, up, down. Nothing. White walls. She started breathing faster and darting her eyes faster, panicking. "Ahhhhhhhh! Lemme outta heeerrrre!" she wailed and pounded on the wall.

"Sarah! Don't give up now! We barely got in here!" Kassie exclaimed.

Sarah paused screaming for a moment to look around once more. "Yaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh! Lemme out lemme out lemme out!" She screeched and pounded her fists into the wall. A sound of the trapdoor being unlocked was heard.

"So who's our first madman?" Chris smirked and threw down a rope ladder. Sarah whipped up the ladder so quickly and pounded onto the roof. She looked around at the open island and let out a breath of relief. Terran smacked his hand on his forehead.

"I say we get rid of Sarah if we lose. How could she go insane that easily!?" He rolled his eyes and walked over to sit against a wall. Most of the Black Team was in one 'room' and the Red Team in the other. Kenny sat in the connecting hallway, talking with Yin.

"That's if we lose. Which we won't!" Terran cheered. Avinya crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. She walked over to Mark, Dolton and Effie. They were all talking together.

"Mark, can I talk to you?" she asked sweetly.

"Sure," Mark said sensing no evil. Not too smart of him. He got up to talk to her 'privately' aka the other side of the room.

"I think we would be a good alliance if we work together. I have smarts and you have...um, strength! Whaddaya say?" Avinya smiled nicely again. Mark made a thinking face.

"Just us? No one else in the alliance?" he asked. Avinya huffed under her breath.

"Well, that's what I was thinking but who else were you thinking?" Avinya said, thinking that she could probably be able to trick and use more than one camper at a time easily.

"Effie," Mark mumbled nervously, looking over at Effie who was babbling something to Dolton. Avinya tried to hide a mean grin. Ha. I can use them and ruin their relationship at the same time! she thought. She held back laughter.

"Okay, she can be in. But don't let anyone else know about it," Avinya declared. Mark went over to Effie and explained the alliance to her. Essentially, no one was really insane yet. Maybe Sarah was just a paranoid freak. Yeah, probably.

"I love your sunglasses, Mitchell," Kassie grabbed Mitchell's aviators and put them on herself.

"You look good!" he said and did the finger-gun symbol to her and grinned. Kassie giggled. Mitchell reached over to twist a black curl of her's around his finger and they just couldn't help theirselves to not start kissing.

Lexi and Yin had both chosen their iPods as their item, and were both tuning out the rest of the world. They may have been on opposite teams, but who said they couldn't become friends? They both liked a lot of the same things, for instance music...and guys. They were rating the ones left on the island. "Okay...Terran," Lexi looked over at him.

"Hm...he's taken," Yin nudged Lexi's side. "But I'd give him an eight. He's got that whole casual cool thing. What do you say?"

"Eleven! He said all the right things to me the other day at midnight," Lexi smiled dreamily.

"Midnight!?" Yin exclaimed. "I wish someone would sneak out late for me," she sighed and snuck a glance towards Kenny, who was talking to Damon.

"Kenny is so into you. He's just not that kind of guy. He's...different. Totally not me type, but you guys look way cute together," Lexi insisted and blew some of her bangs out of her eyes. Yin shrugged.

Effie looked around nervously. She had no idea what to bring, so she didn't bring anything. She had drank the whole bottle of water Chris had given her, and she was hopping around more than normal. And she had to pee. Really badly. She started spinning around, looking at everyone. "Um...guys," she tried to remain calm. But before anyone could say anything she started bouncing around like a spring. "Get me out of heeeeerrre!" She slammed her fists on the walls and freaked out.

"Effie! Calm down! Don't-" Mark was cut off by Chris opening the trapdoor. He threw down the ladder and Effie scrambled up and ran out into the campgrounds, trying to calm down. Chris shut the door, grinning. He held up a small container of something that looked exactly like pepper only a bit bigger.

"No, this is not pepper. It's called Psycho Flakes! Ten bucks for this little shaker. Side effects include running around widly, bouncing, hopping, and freaking out. For best results place the intaker somewhere solitary!" Chris broke into a huge fit of laughing.

Three hours later, there were five left on Black: Mariah, Terran, Arlen, Kassie and Lexi. Mitchell had had too many Psycho Flakes and dropped out. As for Red, the following were still sane: Avinya, Damon, Terry, Yin and Dolton. Kenny had too many Psycho Flakes and Mark had just plain gone mad. He hadn't even had the whole water bottle.

Avinya was stomping around, fists balled. "I don't know how much more I can take of these losers!" She muttered to herself. Arlen appeared behind her and rested his hands on her shoulders.

"Chill, babe. You can do this," he tried to soothe her. Avinya winced, and suddenly looked like she was going to explode. Arlen widened his eyes and gave her her water bottle. She gulped down a drink, and screamed.

"AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! Let! Me! Out! Of! Here!" She screamed and kicked the wall. Like it would come down. She kicked it multiple times and screamed.

"Yeesh, freak out!" Chris rolled his eyes and threw down the ladder. Avinya quickly climbed out.

"Guys! We have an advantage! The other team has four left and we have five! Keep calm, we can win!" Kassie told Terran, Mariah, Arlen and Lexi. Terran gulped and scanned the rest of the 'not gone mad' campers. Lexi rushed to him.

"Terran. Keep. Serene," she said slowly. He gulped down the last of his water bottle.

"I don' know what serene means," he said loudly and absently, and started to run laps around the room.

"Terran that won't help!" Lexi threw her hands in the air. Terran began to pick up his pace, simply running for no reason. He panted fast and ran as his side burned. But nothing could stop the Psycho Flakes from kicking into action as he began yelling at the top of his lungs. Chris opened the ceiling trapdoor. Terran rushed up to the open-ness of the camp.

"Another one bites the dust," Kassie shook her head.

"Well, now we're even with the other team," Mariah said.

"That's a bad thing," Arlen scowled at her.

"Yeah, I know...whatever. But I am so not drinking this water. It had freaky little things floating in it," Mariah shook her bottle as the flakes swished around.

"You're right," Lexi peered into her own water. "I'm not drinking it either."

"You guys are overreacting. It's probably just lake water, or maybe some from a river or stream." Arlen said. But Lexi and Mariah stuck to their word, which was a really good plan.

Six more hours later, it was very late at night. The only way the campers knew this is when Chris would open the trapdoor they could catch a glimpse of outside. The only people were left were: Mariah, Lexi, Damon, Terry and Yin. The guys were talking to each other-fairly calmly-in one of the white 'rooms' while the girls were in another.

"Truth or dare Lexi?" Mariah asked her. They had gotten pretty bored. Yin and Lexi had already done a gazillion dares, so Lexi decided to take a break.

"Truth," she responded and yawned.

"Who would you rather go out with...Terry or Damon?" Mariah asked her and looked to the remaining guys.

Lexi thought about it. "Damon's really nice and knows how to treat a girl....Terry's super charming and hot..."

"So who?" Yin pressed.

"Mariah, how about I ask you the same question?" Lexi tested. "I'm pretty sure Terry likes you."

Yin frowned. "Damon is definitely into her. I can tell....maybe....they both like you?" Yin laughed a bit.

"Yeah, right. They are pretty hot," Mariah mused. "Terry is hotter but not by much. But Damon is way nicer. I guess I like both! But they'd probably never go for me..."

"Dude, I'm telling you, back off! She likes me way better!" Terry slammed his fist into his other palm.

"No way. You need to be more polite," Damon returned.

"Polite!? I am like, the smoothest most charming and classy guy with the ladies on this whole island!" Terry threw his hands in the air.

"No you're not. She is mine, just give up! I know she likes me, man. Face the facts," Damon looked Terry straight in the eye.

"No. She. Doesn't!"

"Yeah she does!"

"Aaahhhhhh!" Terry yelled and banged his fist on the white wall.

"Is someone insayyyne?" Chris hung his head. Terry stomped up the ladder-sounds impossible but he did-and out of the solitare white-ness.

"There's only one guy left!" Mariah exclaimed in surprise. She smiled.

Just because Mariah and Lexi didn't drink any of the crazy juice, doesn't mean they can't go mad.....*cackles*.

An hour later, Mariah was going insane for loss of fashion. She needed to be around a mix of styles and fashions or else...bad things would happen. She threw a fit, screaming and kicking the walls. Chris came and got her out. Another one bites the dust!

One more hour later, Lexi was shaking her iPod. The battery had run dead, and she could no longer drown out the world with her music. She panicked. The music was the only thing keeping her going.

And the last hope for the Black Team had gone insane.

---at the bonfire ceremony---

"Campers. You know how it goes. If I call your name, come up and get your marshmallow. If your name is not called, you must pack your bags and walk the Dock of Shame, get on the Boat of Losers, and leave Totally Total Drama Island," Chris droned dramatically to the sad and angry Black Team.

"Kassie, Mariah, Terran, Arlen, Mitchell." Lexi and Sarah looked at each other. "You each got a lot of votes tonight, but one of you will stay. And the camper who will remain on the island is....Lexi."

"What!?" Sarah jumped up.

"Sorry, you gave up after like, ten seconds!" Arlen pointed out and chewed down his marshmallow.

"Whatever. I don't need this island...or the $%^ food either," she shuddered, and made her way to the Dock of Shame.

"Don't forget to tune in next time on Totally! Total! Drama! Island!" Chris yelled.

Sorry for the uber-long chapter everyone. Also, I need challenge ideas! Soon! Very very soon! I'm drawing a total blank!! Help for the sake of your character!
