END OPENING
Chapter Fourteen: It's Summer Love, Charlie Brown
"ATTENTION CAMPERS!" Chris' voice boomed out through the loudspeakers. "MEET ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CAMPGROUNDS IN EXACTLY TWENTY MINUTES!"
Sure enough, the remaining nineteen campers were huddled around what appeared to be a big stage, still groggy.
"It's way too early for Chris to be torturing us like this," Heather grumbled as she rubbed her eyes.
"Since when was there a 5:00 in the morning?" Owen yawned, his eyes heavy and red.
Over on the Killer Bass bench, Katie's eyes were blood red from having cried the majority of the previous night after Sadie was voted off. Bridgette was struggling to keep awake as she kept nodding off on Geoff's shoulders. Geoff was too tired to notice or care. Poor Charlie Brown had fallen back asleep on the bench.
Confession Cam
Owen – (His eyes appear to be heavy) I didn't know there was a 5:00 AM challenge in this contest…I didn't even know there was a 5:00 AM! (He gets close to the camera) WHAT ELSE HAS THE WORLD BEEN KEEPING FROM ME?!
Katie – (She is still weeping a little) Sadie…I miss you! I promise you that I will win this contest for the both of us!
Charlie Brown – (He's fallen asleep in the Confession Cam, talking in his sleep) Th…that's right, Lucy…I…I told you…I could kick the football…
END
Three hours had gone by and the campers were still waiting for Chris to show up. Most of them were wide awake now. Owen and Charlie Brown were still a little sleepy, but nothing terrible.
"Don't call us and then not show up," Gwen huffed.
"That man had better have a good excuse for making us wait for three hours!" Leshawna added, seeming highly irritated.
"Hey, just calm down," Trent coolly replied. "Maybe this is part of the challenge."
"GOOD MORNING CAMPERS!" Chris called out from the stage, smiling brightly.
"YOU'RE LATE!" all the campers shouted in union.
"What was the point in waking us up that early if you were just going to take your sweet time getting here?!" Heather barked, sounding very, very irritated.
"Well, to be honest, I would've been here a lot sooner, but a black cat crossed my path, so I had to take the long way around." Chris explained.
"What did you do? Walk around the whole island?" Cody asked.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I did," Chris chuckled. "Anyways, let's get on to what your challenge is going to be for today! It's another simple one: a talent show!"
"YES! I LOVE TALENT SHOWS! WHOO HOO!" Owen cried out in excitement. "I've got this awesome talent of being able to burp the entire alphabet in one go! Wanna hear it?!"
"Uh, that's okay," Chris nervously replied, afraid Owen would do it anyways. "Besides, it's entirely up to your teammates if you're going to be performing or not tonight. You see, only three from each team will be allowed to perform. In the end, the winning act will receive his or team invincibility for tonight."
"Wait…so one team has three great acts, but the other team only has one while the other two suck and that team can still win invincibility?" Duncan asked.
"That's what I mean, my man."
"Great! Then we've actually got a chance to win this one!" he snickered.
"Hey! I resent that!" Harold snapped.
"Don't be too sure of yourself Duncan," Chris called over. "You see, you're going to be judged by none other than the number one DJ in all of Canada: Grand Master Chef!"
Most of the campers groaned in union: the standards had just been set extremely high.
"Okay campers, you've got all day to prepare for the talent show tonight! It will start at 5:00 PM sharp! Don't be late! Now get to it!"
Confession Cam
Trent – I feel good about this one! I mean, I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I've been told by my friends that when it comes to writing songs, no one can touch my skills!
Duncan – (He looks a little bored) I'm not into the whole talent show thing, but if the contest relies on one sole act, then I'm not too scared. After all, we've got some pretty talented people on our team. Plus, how hard will it be to top a talent like burping the entire alphabet.
Snoopy – (He's dressed in a tuxedo and wearing a top hat. He holds up a picture of the stage and then points to himself)

Screaming Gophers
The first from the Screaming Gophers to audition was Trent himself. He smiled as he strummed a tune he had written. Despite the fact there were no words to it yet, the song still sounded beautiful.
"Well, what did you guys think?" Trent asked when he finished.
The girls on the team sniffled a little save for Izzy and Heather. Even Cody shredded a few tears. But none were as touched by the music.
"Not bad," Heather sighed. "But if you ask me, you'll need lyrics to it in order for it to work. Can you write some lyrics in time for the show tonight?"
"I could try," Trent replied, seeming somewhat unsure of himself.
"Anyways, Lindsay, let's see what you can do."
Killer Bass
The Killer Bass applauded Geoff as he finished his skateboard routine for his teammates.
"Looks good to me!" DJ smiled. "I say we sign him up! All in favor?"
Immediately, all hands went up in the air.
"Great!" Bridgette smiled. "So who's next?"
Instantly, Charlie Brown stepped forward, smiling and with a football in hand.
"Me! Me!" He enthusiastically pleaded. "Watch this: I can kick this football clear across the field!"
Then, without even waiting for a response from his teammates, he set up the football on a little plastic ball holder with the laces facing out. He backed up a few feet with a determined and intense look on his face. Then, with an almost evil smirk, Charlie Brown charged at the football at full speed and kicked at the football as hard as he could. The ball traveled a good distance from the starting point.
"So anyways," Charlie Brown continued after he concluded the kick, "I was thinking that we could set up a field goal somewhere near the stage and then I could kick the football between the two posts! Pretty neat, huh?"
The rest of the Killer Bass were silent for a couple minutes before Tyler finally said, "Uh, it's cool and all…but…"
"But it ain't good enough to win the show," Duncan concluded, looking bored with the whole routine. "Sorry junior, but it's a no-go."
Charlie Brown looked at the rest of his teammates with a distraught look on his face, hoping for someone to speak on his behalf. Unfortunately, the rest of the Killer Bass had to agree with Tyler and Duncan this time.
"Sorry little dude," Geoff smiled sympathetically.
"It was cool and all," Bridgette agreed. "But I agree with Duncan: I don't think it'll win us this contest."
"At least it was better than Tyler's yo-yo act," Eva snickered, which earned her a hard glare from the jock.
One by one, the rest of the Killer Bass agreed that it wouldn't be good enough for the talent show, some more sympathetically than others. Charlie Brown frowned and hung his head down, but accepted his teammate's decision.
"Okay, so who's next?" Duncan grumbled as he watched Charlie Brown make his way towards the dock.
"Me!" Harold wheezed and stepped up in front of his teammates proudly.
"NEXT!" Duncan shouted out before the lanky nerd got a chance to even start his audition.
Confession Cam
Duncan – Kicking a football? Was that kid serious? If he thought that would win a talent show, then he seriously needs to leave the next chance we get.
Harold – (He looks angry) Duncan thinks he's so great and almighty. Well, the next chance we get, I'm going to organize an alliance to vote him off. I think Charlie Brown would be proud to be a part of that alliance.
Charlie Brown – I was really hoping to get into that talent show and kick the football because there's this girl back home that I won't name who keeps mocking me for my inability to kick the football. In reality, she's always holding it when I try to kick it. (He get s an angry look on his face) AND EVERY TIME, SHE PULLS THE BALL AWAY AND I LAND FLAT ON MY BACK! (He then looks gloomy) Yet, I'm gullible enough to let her do it to me.
END
Elsewhere, Heather had just been chosen by her teammates to do ballet in the talent show. She proudly made her way to the showers to beautify herself for the show later on that night.
"Ah, with me up there, the other team is as good as toast," Heather proudly beamed.
As she approached the showers, she could hear some sort of music playing inside. It sounded very upbeat and happy. She listened closer and began to hear lyrics to the song:
Who can fly a dog house up in the bright blue sky?
(It's Snoopy! It's gotta be Snoopy!)
Who can wind up his ears, lift up his head and fly?
It's not Rover or Fido. No! No! Not him!
It's not Lassie or Benji! Not Rin Tin Tin!
No! It's Snoopy! Snoopy! Snoopy! Snoopy!
He can do anything!
Snoopy makes everyone smile!
Heather began to grow impatient as the song continued to block out all the other noises being made in the bathroom. She needed to get inside and use the showers and this other person was hogging the stalls.
Finally, ignoring the music in the background, she banged on the doors angrily.
"Who's in there?!" she demanded. "I need to get ready for tonight! So get out here and let me in!"
A couple seconds later, the doors opened and standing there was the new cameraman everyone had come to recognize. His face was covered with shaving cream and he had a towel wrapped around his waist and his head. Now being that we was still wet from his shower, his body gave off an odor Heather hated most: wet dog.
"UGH!" Heather gagged. "WET DOG! YOU…YOU BEAST! UGH!" Heather ran off, green in the face and looking very irritated.
Snoopy just grinned wickedly and went back into the stalls to finish getting ready for the show that night as the song finished up.
Who can be cameraman for the best reality show around?
(It's Snoopy! It's gotta be him!)
Who can put on his shades and be the coolest dog in town?
It's not Rover or Fido! No! No! Not him!
It's not Lassie or
Benji! Not Rin Tin Tin!
No! It's Snoopy! Snoopy! Snoopy! Snoopy!
He can do anything! Snoopy makes everyone smile!
Confession Cam
Heather – That cameraman…is the vilest…disgusting…annoying…revolting creature to grace this planet! That smell that came off his body was just…(she gags) It's almost like he was a dog or something.
Snoopy – (He is dressed in his tuxedo and holds up a picture of Heather gagging. He breaks out laughing.)
END
Trent was sitting on the dock of shame with Gwen talking with her about something when Charlie Brown approached them. He didn't even think anything about them as he sat on the edge of the dock. After a few minutes though, he caught a little bit of the conversation.
"So have you written any lyrics for your song yet?" Gwen asked Trent with a smile.
"Huh? Oh, uh, yeah, of course," Trent smiled sheepishly.
"Cool! I Can't wait to hear it," Gwen smiled. "I know it's going to be great."
"Oh! Yeah! Wait until you hear it! You'll be blown out of your socks!" Trent smiled.
Gwen and Trent talked some more before Gwen decided to let Trent practice for the show. As she left, she let her hand rub across Trent's shoulders in a flirting way as she left. Trent froze for a couple seconds as he regained his composure. Suddenly, reality snapped back for Trent.
"I'm in so much trouble," he sighed.
"What's wrong?" Charlie Brown called over from where he was sitting.
Trent sat up instantly in surprise. He hadn't noticed Charlie Brown sitting there all that time. Either that or he had forgotten he was there when Gwen rubbed her hand across his shoulder. No one really knows for sure.
"Dude, sorry for that. You just startled me," Trent replied.
"I'm the one that should apologize," Charlie Brown "I scared you. Anyways, why are you in trouble?"
"Oh…uh…nothing. Really," Trent giggled innocently.
Charlie Brown looked at Trent with a sincere and irritated expression. "I may only be six years old, but that doesn't mean that I'm stupid," he replied. "Something's bothering you. It's written all over your face."
Trent's smile vanished instantly: he hadn't fooled Charlie Brown for a second.
"Okay," he sighed, "It's just that…well…I think that Gwen's a really cool person. I mean, she's sincere, honest, down to earth…hot to boot…and just a fun person to be with overall regardless whether she's in a bad mood or a good mood."
"You think you like her?" Charlie Brown asked as he took a seat next to the mysterious musician.
"No…I KNOW I like her," Trent replied with a smile.
"So why's that a problem? It's apparent she likes you."
"Because first of all, one of us could get the boot any day in this contest and then I wouldn't be able to see her for a long time. Second of all, even if we were both to go to the finals of this contest, we'd only be able to see each other up until that point anyways. I found out that we live really far away from each other." He let out a defeated sigh. "I think it sucks that we've only got this summer to be together and that's it: we won't see each other again."
Trent just sighed as he reflected on his little monologue to the six year old. At first, Charlie Brown was just silent: he couldn't think of anything to say in response to this statement.
The two just sat on the dock watching Owen and Cody swimming around in the leech infested waters, fearful for their health and safety (Charlie Brown could have sworn that he saw sharks swimming around earlier that day).
After a few minutes, Charlie Brown thought of something he remembered during one summer at the summer camp he would have gone to this summer had he not signed up for this contest. He started giggling loudly at the thought of it.
"What's so funny?" Trent asked.
"Oh, it's just that this reminds me of a girl that I met at a summer camp a couple years ago."
"You two hit it off, huh?"
"Oh yeah," Charlie Brown smiled. "Her name was Peggy Jean. When we first met, I remember being so nervous that when I told her my name, I accidentally said 'Brownie Charles'. She called me that for as long as I can remember."
"Heh. That IS funny," Trent smiled. "Brownie Charles…gotta a neat ring to it."
"Well, anyways," Charlie Brown continued, "as you said, we hit it off almost as soon as we met each other. Like you, I was worried it would only last one summer too."
"Did it?"
"Nope!" Charlie Brown proudly beamed. "We stayed in touch for two years. We wrote each other over the summers and we even saw each other on occasion."
"Neat!" Trent smiled. "Who knew a little guy like you could've had a past romance?"
"Well, it only lasted for two years. The third summer, she came up and told me she had another boyfriend…" Charlie Brown sighed at that last statement. "I was crushed."
"Aw…that's too bad dude," Trent smiled as he rubbed Charlie Brown's bald forehead. "Any other happy memories of her?"
"Well," Charlie Brown pondered. "There was one Christmas when I wanted to buy her a pair of gloves because she had written me telling me how she hated having cold hands in the winter. At first, I went to buy her the gloves I remembered she really wanted. They were sparkly and pink. Anyways, I only had enough money for just one of the two gloves."
"Bummer," Trent chuckled. "What did you do?"
"Well, my best friend, Linus, told me I should add a card telling her to put the glove on one hand and to put the other in her pocket."
At that moment, both Charlie Brown and Trent broke out in hysterical laughter.
"Whoo!" Trent laughed as he wiped a tear away from his eye. "That's clever. Your friend sounds pretty smart."
"He is," Charlie Brown chuckled. "But needless to say, I thought that wouldn't be a good idea. So instead, I sold my comic book collection in order pay for them both. So anyways, after I bought them, I saw her and her mom in the same store a few minutes later. Come to find out, her mom had just bought her the exact same pair of gloves!"
Once more, Trent and Charlie Brown broke out laughing hysterically.
"T-T-That's too rich!" Trent laughed. "That sucks, but it's funny at the same time!"
"I can laugh about it now," Charlie Brown laughed. "But I wasn't laughing at the time, let me tell you!"
Trent and Charlie Brown laughed some more over the funny story for a few minutes. Suddenly, Trent stopped laughing as if a light had turned on in his head.
"That's it!" Trent smiled.
"What's it?" Charlie Brown asked.
"I know what words to put to my music for tonight's show!"
What does Trent have in sore for the talent show later on tonight? More importantly, will it be enough to win the talent show for his team? Who WILL win the talent show tonight? Plus, what's our cameraman doing in a tuxedo and motioning to the stage? Stay tuned for the next chapter of "You're On Total Drama Island, Charlie Brown!"
