Legend of Zelda Total Drama Island!

by UnleashTheDinosaurs

22 characters from all over Hyrule have signed up to take part in a reality TV show called LoZ Total Drama Island! They will split into two teams and take part in dangerous, drama filled challenges. The team that loses the challenge will have to vote off one of their fellow team members. What will happen on LoZ...Total...Drama...Island? T for mild swearing and violence.

21. Chapter 20: Bagels

*Comes out wearing full-on bullet-proof armour over dinosaur costume*

Hiroshi: Dino, what the heck are you wearing?

I'm taking precautions! I haven't updated in a million years and I'm worried my reviewers might start shooting at me.

Hiroshi: Why would they shoot at you? They want another update. If they kill you, they wouldn't get an update.

Oh... Oh yeah, I guess...

*Slowly starts to remove armour*

*Decides to slowly put back on armour*

You can never be too safe man...

So... Um... Hi?

*Starts sobbing*

I'm sorry! I didn't mean to abandon you guys I'm just really lazy and Christmas came around n' stuff and I've been really busy and I've been focusing on school lots which I'm getting really good grades in btw and I'm sowwwwwwwrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

But but but but but but but but but but-! Dino won NaNoWriMo! WOOOOOOOOOOO~ Buttttttttttttttttt that novel won't be touched for quite sometime because I'm actually working on a new project (Goddamn Dino, how many new projects are you going to start?) for Camp NaNoWriMo, which I am currently in the middle of. It's called TOY and it's super crazy and it's super awesome and I'm hoping one day to actually get it published :3

Anywhales, the moment you've all been waiting for! Chapter 20~!

Okay, so I kinda sorta changed the idea of this whole chapter. Originally I was planning to do a whole truth or dare thing, but now I scratched that. I still included some questions that you guys sent me, but I didn't do the dares. *Cries* I'm sowwwrrryyyy! ALSO I wrote a majority of this chapter in February during Valentine's cause I wanted it to be a Valentine's special... But... Uh... it's not Valentine's anymore... But I'm too lazy to fix it, so there will be some Valentine references in there... Sorry... ;_;

Uh, so I guess I shouldn't keep you waiting! I've watching playthroughs and have become totally obsessed with Dangan Ronpa and Super Dangan Ronpa 2, so this whole chapter is kinda influenced by that :P There shouldn't be too many references you won't get, but I threw in a few so... :3

ANYWHALES, ENJOY!

10th/9th Place Contestant: Ghirahim

Age: 17

Yes, yes Ghirahim is a guy. No, no he does not know how to throw a football. Yes, yes his tongue is naturally that long. No, no he does not give crap. Ghirahim is one of the most crazy, energetic, fabulous people you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. Not only will he always stand up against all those crazy bitches for you Girlfriend, but he will also give you the best fashion and life advice (though I recommend taking his fashion advice rather than his life advice). Ghirahim's the kind of person who just does not care what people think. He feels like wearing a leotard? Hell yeah he's gonna wear that leotard. He feels like wearing white lipstick despite being a guy and already having super pale skin? Screw what you think, he's gonna wear that lipstick and he's gonna look absolutely fabulous while doing so. Careful not to get on this guy's bad side, he will wreck you Girlfriend!

Random Fact: Ghirahim enjoys the art of theatre and someday wants to star in dramatic plays.

Favourite Intern: OMG totes Reila - She's one of Ghirahim's best girlfriends!

ooo

10th/9th Placed Contestant: Navi

Age: 14

HEY! LISTEN! YOU REMEMBER NAVI? OF COURSE YOU DO, SHE'S SO LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS HOW COULD YOU FORGET? But despite being loud and obnoxious, Navi is very wise. She has a lot of useful hints and tricks, she just doesn't know which ones are obvious to everyone else and which ones aren't. Navi's got a lot of ideas up in that head of hers, but no filter, so whatever she thinks comes right out of her mouth. Sometimes it's good, because you know she's always engaged in conversation, but unfortunately it's this particular trait that got her eliminated during the Shortcake VS. Butter Chicken episode. Navi made a good run on the show. To everyone else, Navi may look like a small, weak fairy, but she's actually amazingly strong and has amazing stamina. Now, if only she could control it all...

Random Fact: Navi's somehow a very distant relative to Ciela, which is why both have similar powers and looks, but neither knows it.

Favourite Intern: Shade

ooo

8th Placed Contestant: Ciela

Age: 16

Careful, you might get diabetes from this fairy she's so sweet. Ciela's the polar opposite of Navi - Loving, kind, soft-spoken. She's got the heart and voice of an angel and she's extremely popular with all our male fairy viewers. At the start of the competition, Ciela was a pretty shy fairy who didn't speak all that often. But as the competition continued, Ciela built up her confidence and succeeded in numerous challenges. Quickly, Ciela developed a strong crush on Sheik, the competition's mysterious, yet kind-hearted ninja (don't tell him we called him a ninja, he'll kill us). During THE PHOBIA 5000! challenge, Ciela actually worked up enough courage to kiss Sheik while she was still a human. He kissed her back as well. But, unfortunately for her, after Sheik faced his phobia and hit his head, he forgot all about their passionate moment. Ciela has yet to say anything to him about it.

Random Fact: She can wolf down a whole pie in one gulp. Neither she nor anyone else knows where it all goes.

Favourite Intern: Amy

ooo

7th Placed Contestant: TP Zelda

Age: 17

This girl's a bitch. Don't even talk to her.

Random Fact: No one likes her.

Favourite Intern: She doesn't like anyone, but if she had to choose one, she'd probably choose Vinter

ooo

6th Placed Contestant: Time

Age: 17

Oh Goddesses, be prepared to be swept off your feet. This guy is pretty much the prince charming you've always fantasized about. He's extremely good-looking (although, his nose is a bit long...), charming, muscular, risk-taking, kind, wonderful- Shall we continue? The boy's been a leader since the beginning of the competition. He's always the one to make tough decisions in the group and to guide them to victory. However, his complications with TP Zelda have often times gotten in his way of winning challenges. They both butt heads often and they both find themselves spewing insults at each other. A week didn't feel right until he fought with her at least once. However, in the end, they both realized that deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep down, they do care for each other. Because Time's too nice to hate anyone. He's like the perfect human being. Ah, but before you fangirls start glomping him and asking him to be your boyfriend, you should know that he's super gay. He just doesn't know it yet.

Random Fact: Time started sword-training when he was only 5 years old. His dream is to become a knight of the castle.

"Last time on LoZ Total Drama Island...

When our shipping company accidentally shipped 10lbs of beer instead 10lbs of deer meat, Hiroshi handed the boxes over to me. But for me to drink all those bottles by myself... That's ridiculous! I'm not some crazy-ass drunkard! So, I decided to host a little party in my cabin and have all the contestants and interns drink the alcohol instead! It took a little persuading, but it was hilarious! The contestants played a number of drinking games and revealed some real embarrassing secrets about themselves. And one of my certain, purple-clothed interns just couldn't keep his hands off me~ Later into the night, I decided to host the next challenge while they were all still completely wasted. The challenge was simple: ride your Go-Kart along the race track, pick up three flags along the way, and cross the finish line first! Twilight started by putting his Go-Kart in reverse and driving straight into the water, Fi and Sheik accidentally lost their flags and their hopes of winning the challenge, the Random-Floating-Pot drove off the edge of a cliff because she wasn't paying attention to the road, and Midna actually pulled her drunk self together and won the challenge. Instead of voting off Twilight like she threatened, she decided to vote of Fi who, in the meantime, was making-out with Sheik. Will Fi and Sheik remember their make-out session? Will our Super Amazing, Super Awesome, Supporting-Cast-That-Barely-Anyone-Knows-Exists reign supreme? Will me and Vio's relationship actually last without any drama for a whole episode? Let's find out on LoZ... Total... Drama... Island!"

---

In a small, square bedroom, Groose finds himself sitting in front of a simple, brown vanity while a man behind him fiddles with his bright red pompadour.

"Ghirahim! Cut it out! Just leave it alone!" Groose scowls, trying to wave Ghirahim's hands off his hair.

"It just doesn't make sense! No matter how much hair gel I put in it, it just doesn't go down!" Ghirahim says, bewildered by Groose's ridiculous hair. "Please let me shave it off or something!"

"NO WAY!" Groose shouts. "Do you know how long it took me to grow it back when the top got bit off by that stupid shark?! I let you try and gel it and braid it and whatnot, but you are NOT cutting it off!"

"Okay, like, geez. You're such a spaz. I was just trying to make your hair look a little less ridiculous."

"You shouldn't be talking with that emo-ass hair cut of yours."

Ghirahim gasps. "Excuse me?! You're just jealous because my hair is fabulous and yours is not!"

"Why did I even let you in my room? Crazy Bi-*beep*..." Groose groans.

"Crazy Bi-*beep*?! I was just trying to be nice and fix up your hair! I can see why SS Zelda didn't choose you. you're like, soooooooooooooooooo rude."

"Yeah, well I can see why Sky didn't choose you. You're such a weirdo."

Ghirahim scoffs as he saunters towards the window and gazes out. "Whatever. I don't even care about Sky anymore."

"Really?" Groose asks, skeptical.

"Yes, really. I bet once I get off this island, there's going to hundreds of boys waiting in line just to get a chance to say hi to me. I mean, I'm like, basically famous now that I've been on TV. And I got to the top 10." Ghirahim says with a smile.

"Yeah, barely." Groose rolls his eyes.

"Anyway, there's no point getting hung up on just one guy." Ghirahim says. "I'm over him."

"Sure..."

A pause.

"Dude, are you crying!?" Groose asks, hearing soft, faint sobs escaping from Ghirahim's mouth.

"N-No! I-I'm just sweating from my eyes, duh!" Ghirahim insists.

Ghirahim and Groose share another period of silence. But not even a minute passes before Ghirahim breaks the silence saying, "Uh, like, what's that?"

Groose strides over to Ghirahim's side and peers out the window. In the not-too-far distance, they see a large boat slowly coming closer to the main dock of The Island of Losers.

"Eh? Maybe some more supplies?" Groose suggests.

"No... It looks too big... Like a cruise ship..." Ghirahim mutters. They look down and see a majority of the losers crowding around the dock (excluding TP Zelda and Tetra), watching the boat come near. Ghirahim pulls Groose's hand and drags him out of the room. "C'mon Girlfri-Er... B-Boyfriend... Er... Friend? Let's go see what's happening!"

---

The boat gradually comes to a stop right at the dock. The crowd of losers watch in anticipation and curiosity. Suddenly, over the edge of the boat, the head of an extremely fluffy and fat cat peers out at them. The rest crowd is confused, but a certain loser recognizes the cat. Time pushes to the front of the crowd shouting, "Mr. Fluffykins!"

A slanted board slides out of the boat and rests firmly on the wooden dock. Walking down the board and off the boat are 6 recognizable faces: Shadow, Vio, Twilight carrying his favourite kitten, Midna, RFP (though technically she doesn't have a face), and Sheik.

"Twilight!" Time shouts in excitement.

"Time!"

The two race into each other's arms and embrace in a loving hug. The crowd 'Awhhh...'s.

"What're you guys doing here?" Time asks, pulling away.

"Shadow said we could take a vacation and spend this Valentine's Day on The Island of Losers!" Twilight squeals.

"Giving them a vacation?" Ruto giggles. "Shadow, I think you're growing a bit too soft~"

"Shut up Fish Cakes. I'm only doing it for the ratings and views." Shadow says, strolling off the boat. Sheik, Midna, and RFP follows behind him. Sheik and Fi make eye-contact for a second, immediately blush, then shift their gazes away awkwardly.

Midna's head perks up, saying, "Wait a minute... We've celebrated Valentines Day before in this story... And if this story's only set between the period of one summer-"

"Shh... Don't ask questions." Shadow says, pressing his hand against Midna's face.

"Oh! Sky, SS Zelda, the Bean Seller, and I - we were all gonna go decorate the dinning hall for the Valentine's Day party that were having tonight. Wanna help Twilight?" Time asks. Twilight nods, and the five teenagers wander off together further into The Island of Losers.

"You guys are having a Valentine's Party?" The Random-Floating-Pot asks, beaming with excitement.

Malon nods. "Mmhm! We're gonna go swimming in the pool, and give each other chocolate, and dance to some romantic music - Oh! Oh! And we're gonna eat food made by someone who's not Henya!"

Everyone cheers.

"Hey!" Shadow suddenly calls back to the boat with a snap of his fingers. "Bags in the lobby please!"

Vio slowly trudges out of the boat with multiple, clearly heavy-weight bags dangling from his arms. Shadow simply watches him with a smile. Vio stops momentarily at Shadow's side.

"We are here for two days Shadow. Were all these bags really necessary?" Vio asks, bitterly.

"I like having choices in my closet, wherever I go." Shadow replies with a cheeky smile. He leans over and places a quick peck on Vio's cheek. Vio's face is still agitated, but he softens a little and continues to drag himself towards the front entrance of the hotel. Everyone smiles at Shadow.

"Congratulations Mr. Shadow! Getting back together with Vio!" The Postman exclaims, watching Vio disappear into the lobby.

"Heh. Sure." Shadow replies with a genuine smile of his own.

"I don't know how you did it. You're not any less of a jackass." Navi comments.

Shadow shrugs. "What can I say? The ladies love me~"

Vio suddenly pops his head out. "Ahem. I'm a guy."

"Sorry Hun. Sometimes it slips my mind." Shadow says teasingly. Vio rolls his eyes.

"Ugh, f-*beep* me..." He grumbles to himself.

"Well, if you insist~"

Vio simply groans, and escapes back into the lobby, but this time Shadow follows him in.

"Eeeeeeeeeee~! They're so cute!" Midna squeals with a clap of her hands. Everyone stares at her. "...What?"

"You guys are so weird. I'm going for a walk." Ganondorf grumbles. He shoves his hands in his pockets and walks away.

"What a Grumpy Poo." Ilia says. "So, Sheik, Fi, about that last episode-"

"Well, I'm tired from that boat-ride. I'm gonna take a nap before the party. You should sleep too Fi." Sheik abruptly says. He pulls at Fi's arm and tugs her into the hotel to find their rooms.

"Yes, I should go fall into a deep slumber as well." Fi agrees. Once the two leave, the remaining group stares at each other.

"Uh, wait a minute... Fi doesn't even sleep." Ciela states.

"They're just trying to avoid talking about their make-out session last episode. It's not like there's any reason hiding though. We get watch all the episodes." Malon says with a roll of her eyes.

"W-Wait! What?! Sheik and Fi made-out?!" Midna gasps.

"What? Dude, you were on the island!" Groose states.

"Yeah, but she was totally wasted." The Random-Floating-Pot says.

"Goddesses... To be honest, I barely remember anything from the last episode... I had the worst hangover... The Random-Floating-Pot tried to fill me in on everything." Midna grumbles. Suddenly, another loser walks out the front entrance of the lobby and struts over towards the group. Midna growls at the sight of her. "Dammit, you're the only one I didn't want to see..."

The loser rolls her eyes and flips her lightly curled brown hair over her shoulder. It's none other than the infamous TP Zelda.

"Whatever." TP Zelda says. "Why're Shadow and Vio here, making-out in the lobby?"

"Pfft, and they said they were taking things slow." The Random-Floating-Pot snickers.

"Shadow decided to let the remaining contestants stay over for the Valentine's Day special." Ruto explains.

"Ew." TP Zelda grumbles. "I'm going back inside then."

"Hey! At least say hi!" Ghirahim pulls Zelda back.

"Why should I? Midna nor the Random-Floating-Vase are my friends." TP Zelda says.

"Ahem! I'm. A. Pot!" The Random-Floating-Pot growls.

"And I. Don't. Care."

"Wow, and here I thought you actually had some character development." Ghirahim rolls his eyes.

"Just because Time and I are on okay-terms doesn't mean any of us are friends. I still think you're all annoying." TP Zelda snaps.

"The only annoying person here is you!"

"Doesn't matter what you think of me - technically, I beat most of you in the competition." TP Zelda says. "7th place, bi-*beep*."

"You're the bi-*beep*! You talk trash about everyone when you really just a piece of trash yourself!" Ghirahim states, getting in TP Zelda's face.

"I'm trash? Do you not own a mirror? Would you like to borrow one?"

"Are you from Europe? Because Euro-piece of sh-*beep*."

TP Zelda gasps. "What is a Europe anyway?! We live in Hyrule!"

"I-I... I 'dunno but you're still a piece of sh-*beep*!"

"Say that to my face!" TP Zelda shouts, clapping her hands on each syllable.

"I did say it to your face!" Ghirahim starts clapping on each syllable as well.

"Cross-Dressing Whore!" *clap-clapclap clap*

"Artificial-Looking Slut!" *clapclapclapclap-clapclap slap*

"Pale-Ass Snake-Tongued Tart!" *clap-clap clap-clap clap*

"Boil-Brained Bleached-Whale!" *clap-clap clap-clap*

"Milk-Livered Potato-Face!" *clap-clapclap clapclapclap-clap*

"Onion-Eyed Llama! *clapclap-clap clapclap*

The two continue to clap in each other's face, at this point, not even talking anymore - just clapping. The rest of the group watch silently. Eventually the two clap one final time in each other's faces and immediately stomp away from each other; Zelda going back inside the hotel, and Ghirahim storming off towards the dinning hall. The group pauses awkwardly.

"Well, well, well! Looks like Vio and I aren't the only two heating up!" Shadow suddenly pokes his head out the door, clearly enjoying the drama. Vio pokes his head out beside him.

"Wow, you just said that on international television." Vio grumbles with a roll of his eyes. "It's almost like you can just hear my reputation flying away..."

---

"Lookie! Lookie!" Twilight squeals, tapping Time lightly on his shoulder. Time turns around curiously to see Twilight with a long piece of red garland wrapped around his chin. It almost looks like a red beard. "I'm Santa~!"

Time laughs. "Well, you do bring joy to the world." He says, ruffling his hand through Twilight's hair. "Now stop goofing around, we have to get this place perfectly decorated before the party tomorrow."

On one side of the room, SS Zelda, Sky, and the Bean Seller are carefully setting up a small stage and hooking up the speakers, microphones, and simple lights all around. In the corner of the opposing side of the room, Time finishes hooking up the lights decorating the various plants and bushes around the dinning hall. Twilight watches him as he crawls out from underneath one of the plants, wiping a drop of sweat from his forehead. He reaches into his pocket, pulls out a switch, and flicks it on. All the lights on the plants glimmer red, white, and pink. Twilight claps his hands, letting out a small cheer.

"Phew! Okay! Wanna pass me that box with the decorations?" Time asks. Twilight nods. He races to collect a box full Valentine's Day themed decorations near the front of the entrance and rushes back over to Time. However, on one of the cords, Twilight accidentally trips forward onto his face. The box flies out of his hands and crashes into the ground, shattering some decorations.

"T-Twi! You okay?" Time rushes over to help the whimpering boy off the ground.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Twilight says quietly.

Time lets out a small chuckle. "Geez, you're such a klutz. Sometimes I wonder how you've made it this far in the competition."

Time picks up the box, removes the broken items, and starts decorating the plants cheerfully. But instead of helping, Twilight just stands there, his head drooping down to the floor and his shoulders dropped solemnly. Time only takes notice after a few minutes.

"T-Twi? Wanna help?" Time asks softly. Twilight doesn't reply. "H-Hey, I was just teasing you about being a klutz, you know that?"

"B-But... It's true. How did I make it this far?" Twilight mumbles. His gaze stays in the same place on the floor, not moving an inch.

"You worked hard. And you were kind to people. That's how. Why're you doubting yourself all the sudden?" Time asks with a worried expression.

"B-But it doesn't make sense... I'm not even good at this game. I'm clumsy, and I'm not very strong, and I get easily distract-Ooh! A butterfly!" Twilight suddenly squeals at the sight of a random butterfly fluttering around the room. "Wait, what was I saying?"

"Twilight! What do you mean?! You don't deserve to still be in the competition?" Time questions. "But you said you were going to win. For both of us."

"But it's not fair, don't you think?" Twilight finally lifts his head. "P-People like Fi or Tetra or Sky or you or TP Zelda or... or... or... E-Even the Bean Seller probably would've been better at this game! Why am I still in it?! I-I can't even count to ten!"

"Twi... What's gotten into you?" Time asks, placing a hand on Twilight's shoulder. Twilight simply shrugs. He pushes Time's hand off and walks towards one of the bushes. He starts to decorate it, extremely quiet. Time watches, worried.

"H-Hey!" Sky suddenly calls out, catching Time's attention. "Wanna help me carrying in the speakers Time? The Bean Seller's not helping..."

"I told you; I'm taking a break." The Bean Seller says, stuffing his face with a handful of magic beans.

"You've been taking a break since we started." SS Zelda comments as she fiddles with the microphone.

Time decides to leave Twilight alone. He runs up to Sky and helps him carrying in a large stereo. Just as they set it by the stage, SS Zelda speaks up again. "I'm a little nervous..."

"Nervous? Why's that?" Sky asks with a cutesy yawn. His fangirls squeal and giggle noisily.

"I guess this will be my first time singing in front of you guys... The last time didn't go so well..." SS Zelda says.

"You're right - that thing at the talent show sucked." The Bean Seller states. Sky and Time shoot him a glare. "Just bein' honest. Munch munch munch..."

"Doesn't matter. I know you're a good singer. I've heard you before." Sky says, resting his elbows on the edge of the stage. SS Zelda sits down on the edge beside him.

"Yeah, but are you just saying that because you're my boyfriend?" SS Zelda asks with a soft smile.

"No. I'm saying it 'cause it's true. Plus, I said it before I became your boyfriend. And so did Groose and Ganon." Sky says.

"Yeah, but didn't you guys only say that because you wanted to get in her pants?" The Bean Seller asks, nonchalant.

"H-Hey! Stop being such an ass!"

SS Zelda simply giggles, swinging her feet playfully.

"H-Hey guys... Not to change the subject or anything, but does Twilight seem different to you?" Time asks curiously.

"Hm? Not really. He's his usual bright and happy self." SS Zelda says.

"I guess before he was..." Time mumbles.

"Something wrong?" Sky asks as he props himself up onto the stage beside SS Zelda.

"Yeah... Suddenly he got really depressed while we were decorating. He started talking about how he didn't deserve to make it this far in the competition or whatnot. I don't understand."

"I understand." SS Zelda says with a hum.

"Huh?"

"Well, let's be honest. He's not the brightest one in the group. And there's really only a few challenges that he really excelled at. He's always worried about hurting people's feelings, so he's not very with with alliances or playing dirty when he needs to. Twilight's a really sweet boy and I love him to death, but he's right; it's hard to believe he's still in the game." SS Zelda says with a sad expression. "Maybe he's just started to realize it now."

"Or maybe he's always known, but he covers all that up with that smile of his." Sky mumbles. "It's almost always the people who smile the brightest who're the saddest."

Time's gaze shifts down. "You think so...? I always thought he was so happy..."

"W-Well that's just a guess! He could just be having a bad moment!" Sky awkwardly exclaimed.

"Yeah... Maybe..."

---

The Following Evening...

The Dinning Hall is decorated in pink and white, filled with heart-shaped decorations and frilly, lacy garlands. Club lights are flashing everywhere. At the stage, Navi, the party's designated DJ, has a set of miniature headphones on and starts spinning records on a small turn table. The party is in full swing. Some people are dancing with each other on the dance floor while others are simply talking to one another. The front door is open, leading out to a ginormous swimming pool where Malon, Ilia, and Ruto are hanging out. Everyone is dressed up in semi-formal outfits, but for the most part, things are pretty casual.

Shadow and a few gorons holding cameras walk around the party, recording all of it. However, Shadow's bored. In his hand is a bottle of beer, which he's chugging down pretty quickly. Twilight approaches with Time lagging behind.

"Is that the apple juice from last time?!" Twilight asks, poking at Shadow's beer bottle. "Can I have some?"

Shadow shrugs. "Why not?"

"No! No alcohol for you!" Time interrupts, pulling Twilight away from Shadow.

"Don't worry Time, it's just apple juice." Twilight assures. "Plus I feel like I really need some right now..."

"No. I'm not letting you become an alcoholic! C'mon, let's go dance or something." Time says with a smile, tugging Twilight along. Shadow sighs.

"I guess I should go do my job, huh?" Shadow groans.

"Yeah, probably." The goron holding the camera replies.

Shadow decides to approach Groose and Ganon, who are grumbling in the corner.

"Well, hey there losers!" Shadow whips out a microphone and holds it up to their faces. But before he can start with the questions on his cue cards, Shadow can't help but notice Ganon's shoes. "Ganon, why in Din's name are you wearing bright pink crocs?"

"Because they're comfy." Ganon replies.

"They're ugly as hell." Shadow says, on the verge of barfing at the sight of them.

"ARE YOU JUDGING MY FASHION SENSE?! ARE YOU JUDGING ME?"

"Yes! I am! Calm down!" Shadow rolls his eyes. "Geez... So, how're two enjoying the party?"

"It's boring." Groose grumbles.

"UGH! I'M SO BORED I COULD SMASH SOMETHING!" Ganon shouts. Shadow dodges one of his random punches.

"Hey! Hey! Watch the face!" Shadow grumbles. "Are you not on pills?!"

"I AM BUT I LOST THEM AND THAT MAKES ME REALLY MAD!"

"Wait, again? When?"

"From what he's been shouting at me, apparently he left them by the food table and then they disappeared." Groose replies for him as Ganon starts tearing apart a nearly bush. "Goddesses, why do I hangout with you?"

"Cause you're a jerk and Ganon's the only one who can stand you?" Shadow says with a cheeky smile.

"Hey! You're an asshole too and you've got people like Vio who hang around you!"

"'Cause I have good qualities too. And I'm drop dead gorgeous."

"That's definitely a matter of opinion." Groose grumbles.

"Anyway, Groose, fans are wondering, how are you handling SS Zelda and Sky's relationship? Do you get jealous often, seeing them everyday?" Shadow asks, reading off a set of cue cards.

"W-What? W-Well... I mean..." Groose goes quiet.

"Give us the dirty truth."

"Ugh! Yeah! I do! Okay? I've had a crush on Zelda since I was a kid so yeah, it's a little hard knowing she choose Sky."

"Awwwwhhh, you really do have a heart Groose." Ciela says, fluttering into the scene. Groose looks away, trying to hide his blush. "Hey, is Ganon gonna be alright?"

"Who knows?" Shadow shrugs, uncaring. "Well, speaking of relationship drama; Ciela, do you still have feelings for Sheik?"

"W-Wha..." Ciela stutters. "I-I... Well..."

"C'mon Ciela, we all know you still do. You're so damn obvious." Groose rolls his eyes.

"I-I'm not that obvious! Sheik's still oblivious!"

"But are you gonna tell him soon?" Shadow inquires.

"Of course not!" Ciela states. "If I was a Hylian like him, maybe, but I'm a fairy... There's no way it'd work between us..." Ciela trails off. "Ugh, why does there gotta be so many species here?"

"I see I see..." Shadow nods. "And lastly, who are you two rooting for to be our champion?"

"Uh... I 'unno." Groose shrugs. "Midna, maybe?"

"Definitely Sheik. He deserves it." Ciela replies.

"Alright! Well, have a good night loners!" Shadow waves off. He and his camera crew wonder around the party. He notices SS Zelda and Sky, leaning on the edge of the stage drinking punch and laughing together. He approaches them. "Good evening to the only actual couple in this entire party!"

"T-That's not true! There's... There's..." SS Zelda trails off.

"Wow, is there actually no other couples on this island?" Sky questions.

"Yep! Congratulations, everyone hates you." Shadow says with a smile.

"Hey, not everyone hates..."

SS Zelda and Sky look around the party, noticing everyone staring at the couple - who are standing with their arms wrapped around each other lovingly - with jealous gazes. They awkwardly stare back.

"H-Hating and being envious are two different things." SS Zelda mutters.

"Uh-huh. So, tell us, what's it like for you two dealing specifically with Groose, Ganon, and Ghirahim?" Shadow questions.

"Oh, it's fine. We're all mature enough to put aside some pointless jealousy and not let it get in the way of our friendship." SS Zelda assures.

Shadow yawns. "Wow, you are so boring. C'mon, tell us how you really feel about them."

"W-Well..." SS Zelda pauses. "Okay! Well they're actually really annoying I mean, Goddesses, they follow us and watch us all the time and it's really frustrating when they guilt trip you with their stupid looks and I mean for Din's sake just get over it!"

Sky nudges SS Zelda softly. "Your mean side's coming out."

Zelda gasps, covering her mouth. "Oh my goodness! I'm a terrible person! Am I evil for saying all that?! I-I didn't mean it, I swear!"

"Sure you didn't." Shadow snickers. "So, I hear you're going to sing for us tonight."

"Yeah, she is." Sky replies with a proud smile. "Three different covers she's been working on all week."

"Well, I hope it's not as bad as that performance at the talent show. That was pretty horrendous." Shadow comments with a smile of his own. SS Zelda stares back at him with her lips pressed tight together. She puts on an obvious fake smile, looking like she's just on the verge of snapping on him. Shadow's smile just grows bigger. "And lastly, Zelda, Sky, tell us who you're rooting for."

"Twilight, definitely. He's always been the kindest." Sky answers with a cute yawn.

"Mm, I agree with Sky." SS Zelda adds.

"Alright, well I'll leave you two for now. Break a leg Zelda!" Shadow exclaims, waving off. "No, seriously, break a leg. Do you know how funny that would be?"

Zelda and Sky roll their eyes, expecting that comment from Shadow. The host is about to approach Zant when a beautiful figure wearing a long, slimming red dress walks into the room. Her blonde hair is curled and pulled up into a french twist on the back of her head. In her hand is a small Valentine's-themed gift bag. The crowd stares in awe at the beautiful girl, wondering who it is. She comes into the light and the crowd gasps. It's Tetra.

Tetra waves awkwardly. She's not used to the attention. "H-Hey guys..."

"TETRA GIRLFRIEND OH MAH GODDESSES!" Ghirahim squeals, running up to Tetra and squeezing her tight. "GURL I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU SINCE YOU GOT VOTED OFF I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!"

"Ghirahim! I missed you too actually." Tetra laughs to herself. "I've sorta been holing myself up in the therapy department on the other end of the island since I got voted off."

"WOW! You must've been lonely!" Navi shouts, fluttering over to the scene.

"Yeah, I'll admit that." Tetra replies.

"But are you like, better now?" Ghirahim questions.

"I am! Look," Tetra exclaims, "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis!"

"O-M-G! Guuurrrrrrllllllllll! That was so good! This calls for celebratory drinks!" Ghirahim sings, running off to the food table.

"When would you ever use that word anyway?" Navi inquires.

"I have no idea." Tetra shrugs. "But I feel like a whole new person now! I feel like I can finally conquer the seas!"

"Congratulations Tetra," Shadow says, approaching the girl.

"Ugh, you're here?" Tetra groans.

"Of course I'm here! Party wouldn't be as awesome without me." Shadow chuckles. "So, Tetra, the fans are wondering how your recovery has been."

"It took a long time. Like I said, I never really left the therapy department. I think I qualified as a mental patient for a while there. I mean... It was a really traumatic experience."

"...Your traumatic experience was reading an essay?"

"It was a long essay, okay?!" Tetra snaps.

"Uh huh." Shadow rolls his eyes. "So, what's that you've got in your hand?"

Tetra immediately goes red.

"N-None of your business!" She snaps.

"Yeah, is that so?" Shadow questions, reaching for the bag. Tetra tries to pull it away from him.

"H-Hey! Stop! Don't wreck it!" She shouts, flustered. "Look! It's a Valentine's for Vio, okay?!"

The crowd immediately hushes. Shadow stares at Tetra, who's utterly confused. Navi lets out a quiet, "Oh damn..."

"...What?" Tetra mumbles.

Shadow takes a long moment to just glare at Tetra.

"What episode were you voted off again?" He asks quietly.

"...The 8th, I think..." She mutters.

"Hm." Is his only response. He walks away. Tetra looks around the crowd, hoping for some answers.

"That was weird." She jokes with a nervous laugh.

---

In the Confessional...

In one of the luxurious bathroom stalls of the Dinning Hall, Tetra sits on toilet and talks to the camera.

"That was really weird. I mean, I know Shadow was weird but... Why'd he get all pissy and quiet when I talked about my Valentine to Vio? I mean, he knew I had a crush on Vio, right? Didn't I say it on camera?" Tetra questions.

---

Back at the Party...

Shadow approaches Zant, who's currently doing some weird, awful dance moves to Navi techno music. "Zant!" Shadow cheers. "Our very first loser!"

"Oh! Hi Shadow." Zant greets. He stops dancing.

"One of our fans said they just wanted to hear from you." Shadow says, putting the microphone to Zant's mouth.

"R-Really?! Well, I-"

"Alright, that's enough out of you!" Shadow cuts him short and starts walking away with the camera.

"H-HEY!" Zant shouts, offended.

Suddenly, a red-headed girl with a long dress and a thin cloth around her mouth approaches Shadow. It's the one and only, Astrid.

"Excuse me," Astrid taps Shadow on the shoulder. Shadow gives her a questioning look. "I sensed that there may be some questions from the fans for me."

"Huh? Who're you?" He asks.

"My name is Astrid... I was a contestant..." She replies slowly.

"Yeah, no, I don't remember you." Shadow mumbles, walking away. "What a weirdo..."

Shadow notices Midna, The Random-Floating-Pot-That-Attacks-You-But-Leaves-A-Heart-So-There's-Really-No-Point, and Ghirahim, chatting by the food table with glasses of punch in their hands and sandwiches stuffed in their mouths.

"Good evening, Midna, Random-Floating-Pot, Ghirahim." Shadow greets, picking up a sandwich and munching down on it.

"There is no 'good evening' when you're around." Ghirahim states.

"Wow, rude."

"Hey, you gonna tell Tetra about you and Vio soon or...?" Midna asks.

"Uh, sorry, it seems you weren't aware that it's actually me asking the questions, so uh, shut up." Shadow snaps. "Tell us Midna what is-"

"It's not her fault she doesn't know! She's been holed up in a building this whole time. The least you could do is fill her in." Midna cuts him short. Shadow smirks.

"Nah, it's more fun not to. She'll go confess her feelings to him and he'll have to explain everything to her and she'll be so heartbroken and she'll have to go back to therapy... It's so perfectly dramatic!" Shadow claps his hands together merrily.

"Wow, you're such an ass." RFP grumbles.

"So, Midna, Random-Floating-Pot, what do you think your chances of winning are?" Shadow changes the subject.

"Pretty high up, that's for sure." RFP replies proudly. "We're gonna totally destroy Sheik and Twilight!"

"Mmhm, one of us is gonna take home the million rupees!" Midna adds.

"Does that mean you two are really competing against each other?" Shadow asks.

"Not really. I mean, there's no doubt that we're not gonna hold back in the finale, but we're also going to help each other as much as we can and make sure the winner is one of us." Midna replies.

"Yeah! I absolutely want the money, but Midna also deserves the win. I've gotten to know her over the past however-many episodes and I think she's become one of my bestest friends." RFP exclaims. Ghirahim "Awwweehh"'s.

"All this friendship-talk makes me want to barf." Shadow groans. "So, what are you two planning to spend the money on if you win?"

"Well, obviously I'd have to give most of my funds to my kingdom, but with what I'll have left, I wanna travel the world." Midna replies with a smile.

"I wanna put it towards getting potion-makers to make me a potion that turns me into a human." RFP says. "I'm a little annoyed with this body of mine."

"But Girlfriend, that body is what makes you unique!" Ghirahim interrupts.

"Yeah, unique and also very handicapped." RFP grumbles.

"I see. And Ghirahim, you were quite the fan-favourite. How have you been on this island?" Shadow questions.

"Gurl, I regret not getting eliminated earlier on in the competition! This island is like, waaaaaaayyyyyy better than your stupid island." Ghirahim exclaims.

"I like my island!" Shadow grumbles.

"Yeah, but your island doesn't have like an arcade, or a bowling alley, or a massage therapist, or a therapist-therapist or... Well, to be honest, your island doesn't really have anything except for dangerous cliffs and man-eating sharks." Ghirahim states. "My only complaint about this island is that like, they force you to go to bed at 10 o'clock. Like, all the doors to all the buildings except the hotel like automatically lock you out at 10 n' stuff and it's like, super annoying. Even the pool gets covered n' stuff. Like, I want to go for midnight swims and stuff, like, you know?"

"Dude, how many times did you just say the word 'like'?"

"I 'unno. I wasn't really like, counting or anything."

"I get drained talking to you." Shadow rolls his eyes. "Anyway, who're you three rooting for to win?"

"Each other, obviously." Midna and RFP say with a smile.

"W-Well, I would totes say you two, but I'm actually rooting for Twilight." Ghirahim replies. "I mean, he was on my alliance once. And he's like, the cutest thing ever! How could you not like him?!"

"I don't like him." Shadow states. Midna, RFP, and Ghirahim shoot him cold glares.

"How do you like, manage to piss off every person you come across?" Ghirahim questions. Shadow shrugs with a careless smile.

"Well, see you! Enjoy the night!" Shadow waves off. The three simply glare back at him. He saunters off, only to get run into by TP Zelda, spilling her glass of fruit punch all over their outfits. They gasp in horror.

"Watch where you're going you piss-flavoured lollipop!" TP Zelda spits. Shadow stares down at his punch-stained dress shirt with his mouth gaped open.

"This shirt cost me 1784 rupees, you b-*beep*!" Shadow shouts.

"U-Um... Mr. Shadow, Sir, remember Dino said you had to keep the swearing down to a minimum?" The goron behind the camera meekly says.

"F-*beep* Dino. This shirt was a custom-made work of art! I'll swear however much I like!" Shadow retorts.

The goron lifts his hand up to his ear, listening through an earpiece to someone talking to him. "Uh, y-yeah, Mr. Shadow, Hiroshi says that if you swear one more time, he's going to throw all your hair spray and hair colouring into the ocean."

"Hah! So you do colour your hair!" TP Zelda exclaims.

"No I don't!" Shadow insists. "And Hiroshi can't do that; Nagisa and Tamaki will be on his case forever about how he has contaminated the water for the sharks."

The goron listens to his ear piece again and relays the message, "He says he doesn't give a flying rubber duck and says that he'll actually do it."

Shadow grumbles something under his breath. "Fine!" He finally exclaims. "No more swearing! F-*beep*, I-I mean s-*beep*, I mean, uh... Bagels!"

"...Why bagels?" TP Zelda questions.

"Shut up! I don't even want to interview you anymore!" Shadow yells, throwing his arms up in the air and walking away from her. He decides to go talk to Fi, who's sitting in the corner of the room alone.

"Shadow, I am 84% sure that you have a stain on your shirt." Fi says calmly.

"And I'm 136% sure that I don't want to talk about it." Shadow grumbles. "So Fi, do you remember anything from the last episode, or were you entirely drunk?"

Fi takes a very long pause, taking a very long sip of her punch... Shadow waits patiently for her answer. When she realizes he isn't going to leave her alone, she finally responds, "I'm 99% sure I don't want to answer these questions."

"Really? So you don't want to talk about how you and Sheik made-out behin-"

"I noticed that you skipped interviewing Malon, Ilia, and Ruto. They're out by the pool. I'm sure they'd be quite joyful if you gave them some camera time."

"Yes, but Fi the fans want to know-"

"The Postman hasn't been interviewed as well. I feel bad for him."

"I'll interview him after, Fi-"

"I should use the restroom." Fi cuts Shadow off, floating out of the building.

"Fi, the restrooms are over there..." Shadow quietly says, but she's already out of the Dinning Hall. "Well, alright then."

Towards the other side of the room, Shadow approaches Sheik, the Bean Seller, and the Postman (who's playing on his 3DS). "Hey, Hey, Hey." Shadow greets.

"Good evening Mr. Shadow!" The Postman chimes.

"Munch munch munch..." The Bean Seller ignores Shadow and continues eating his magic beans.

"So, Bean Seller, how's your business going?" Shadow asks, lifting the microphone to his face.

"It's... munch munch munch... Shnot badfh..." The Bean Seller replies with his mouth full of beans. "Phffvery shard tosh do phffbusinessphf."

"Alright, didn't catch a word of that." Shadow shrugs. "And Postman, how have you been handling being eliminated?"

"I don't care, as long as I got my DS." The Postman replies with a smile. "Plus this island has so much more room for me to fly around and deliver letters to people!"

"...You have people to deliver letters to?" Shadow questions.

"Um, well, they're usually letters to me from me but... I-If anyone needs letters delivered, they know who to call!" The Postman optimistically exclaims.

"You know most people use phones right? Or, because everyone's on the same island, they actually go up and talk to each other face-to-face?"

The Postman pauses. "...You know, I always had this dream of working for a cellphone company..."

"...Uh, alright. Sort of a random statement." Shadow scratches at his chin.

"B-But, my parents named me The, and my last name is Postman. Because of this, I always believed I was destined to be a postman, but ever since I was little I had this secret dream that I never told anyone..." The Postman dramatically sighs. "A dream to work with Verizon..."

"...Why Verizon?" Sheik questions.

"But alas, I cannot possibly fulfill my dreams, for even if I tried, I would dishonor my family name..." The Postman skims over the question.

"Hey, Vio knows all about dishonoring his family! You should go talk to him." Shadow exclaims with a grin. The Postman returns to his DS after his dramatic monologue. "So Sheik, final four, huh? What do you think your chances of winning are?"

"I think they're pretty high. I've been working really hard since the beginning of the competition." Sheik gives his reply.

"Mm, and tell us, what was kissing Fi like? Probably pretty weird, right?" Shadow asks, nudging his shoulder. Sheik turns beet red.

"Uh, w-well..." Sheik stutters. "Y'know what? I'm gonna go get some fresh air! Little stuffy in here... Heheh..."

Sheik exits the Dinning Hall with swift speed walk.

"Wow, they really don't want to talk about it." Shadow laughs.

"Munch munch... What a loser... Munch munch." The Bean Seller mumbles.

Suddenly, Vio arrives at the scene, desperately trying to balance three trays of food at once. His blonde hair is pulled up into a ponytail and around his waist is a stained white apron.

"Hey Vi." Shadow greets, leaning back on the table.

The Postman suddenly takes his eyes off his DS. "Vio! Shadow tells me you know all about dishonoring your fam-mmpf!"

Shadow picks up a sandwich from one of Vio's trays and stuffs it into The Postman's mouth. Vio gives him a confused look. Shadow just gives him an innocent smile.

"Hey, you talk to Tetra yet?" Shadow asks as Vio lays down the trays on an empty table.

"Oh, Tetra's here?" Vio questions. Shadow scowls for a moment at Vio's excitement.

"Yep. Can I borrow your hair elastic?" Shadow asks. Vio presses his eyebrows together, confused, but still slowly slides the elastic out of his hair and hands it to his boyfriend. "Thanks." He says, then suddenly flings it off his fingers across the hall at Tetra's head. She winces. Shadow suddenly grabs the front of Vio's shirt and passionately kisses him. Tetra looks up to see who shoot the elastic at her just in time to see the two men making out. Her eyes widen. The Valentine's in her hand almost slips from her fingers.

Shadow releases Vio and grins deviously. Completely confused, Vio looks over to Tetra who looks absolutely heart-broken. She presses her lips together, then flees the scene out the back door.

"Tetra...!" Vio calls out, then chases after her.

Shadow laughs. He reaches for a bottle of beer, pops it open, and takes a long swing. The Bean Seller watches.

"You're more of a douche than I am." The Bean Seller comments. Shadow hums, giddy.

"Yeah, I am." He chuckles.

---

In the Back Alleyway...

Vio follows Tetra out the back door into a long, slim alleyway. One side is the back, outer walls of the dinning hall connecting to the outer walls of the bowling alley. The other is created from the edge of a thick forest and a row of trimmed bushes. Tetra stares at the bushes quietly.

"Hey..." Vio mutters cautiously.

"Really? Him?" Tetra speaks, then whips around to face Vio. "How long have you been together?"

"I can't say quite how long... A while?" Vio replies.

"Hm." Is all she says. Tetra chucks Vio the Valentine's bag. "Here, take your stupid Valentine."

Vio catches the bag, gasping a little. "Tetra... I didn't know you felt-"

"You didn't know?" Tetra snaps. "You're bullsh-*beep*-ing me, right? Everyone on the island knew! It was broadcasted around the world! You were flirting with me, weren't you? Or... I dunno... Maybe that was just you being a nice guy." Vio can't muster up anything to say back. Tetra sighs, smooths out her dress. "Look, it's not that you rejected me. I get you don't like me back. It's that... Really?! Shadow?! Of all people you choose him over me?!"

"I'm sorry..."

"I mean, he's a total asshole. I don't understand what you see in him. And isn't he twice your age or something? I mean for someone so smart you really-"

"I know. Alright? I'm perfectly aware that I deserve someone better than him. I know he's way older than me. Everyone has shoved that fact in my face. I get it. But trust me, I've tried breaking things off with him and I just... I'm not happy without him."

Tetra sighs, placing a hand on Vio's shoulder. "Look, Vio, all us teenagers go through this phase of liking 'bad boys'-"

Vio shoves her hand off his shoulder.

"Hey, I know like an idiot with him. I know I look pathetic. It's not like no one on this island has told me that. Everyone's made it pretty clear, alright? I'm tired of people judging my love life! I know what I'm getting into dating him; I'm not oblivious! I perfectly aware he's an asshole. But I like him a lot. And I really wish you and everyone else would stay out of it. For Din's sake..."

Vio shoves her back the Valentine and strides back into the dinning hall.

Tetra sighs, rolling her eyes.

---

Back in the Dinning Hall...

"Alright! How's everyone doing tonight?" SS Zelda shouts into the microphone. She stands onstage in a beautiful spotlight. Everyone gathers around the stage, excited for her performance. The audience cheers. Through the crowd, Midna pushes her way over to Vio, who's leaning against wall with his arms crossed.

"Yo. You okay? You look stressed." Midna comments.

"When am I not stressed?" Vio forces out a laugh.

"Did you talk to Tetra yet?"

"Yep." Vio smacks his lips. "Want to get me a bottle of beer?"

"Hey, I don't want you becoming an alcoholic or anything."

"I'm not getting through his party without one."

Midna sighs. "Alright, one bottle. That's it. We all know how much of a lightweight you are."

Midna walks away from Vio, leaving him to watch SS Zelda's show alone.

"I hope you're all excited. I worked really hard on all these songs..." SS Zelda blushes, suddenly becoming nervous. Her hand strums against a plain acoustic guitar. "Just... Don't be too hard on me..."

"Woo! Love you!" Sky cheers from the audience. Zelda giggles, then strums the guitar one more time before going into her first song...

Suddenly she throws the guitar off her body and randomly picks up an electric one. She lifts the microphone up to her face and sings (screams?); "OH MY GOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!"

SS Zelda is belting out hardcore screamo music, thrashing her head to the beat of the song.

"OH MY GOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!" She continues to scream/sing.

Everyone is speechless. Except for Sky, who's clapping and cheering, genuinely enjoying her music.

"IF ONLY HE KNEWWWWWWW IF ONLY HE KNEWWWWWWWW"

Everyone starts taking a few steps back from the stage. They clutch at their chests and at each other, a little frightened by her choice of genre.

The song continues for quite sometime. And when she finishes, everyone claps; not in the way SS Zelda's thinking they're clapping, but in relief that the terrifying music had finally came to an end. She smiles sweetly, whips a drip of sweat from her forehead.

"WOOOO! THAT WAS AWESOME!" Sky cheers the loudest he ever has in his life. Zelda takes a small, cute bow, back to her cute, normal self. As she takes a two minute break until her next song, Groose approaches Midna at the food table.

"Yeah, we all need a drink after that song..." Groose comments, eyeing the bottle in Midna's hand.

"It's not for me. It's for Vio. And uh, yeah. That was officially the weirdest thing I've ever experienced." Midna mutters.

"Hey, you seen Ganon?" Groose asks. "I've totally lost him during that song."

"Nope. Sorry. Are you like his chaperone or something?"

"Someone needs to look over him. He lost his pills."

"Dammit, again? That guy is a mess..." Midna sighs.

"Alright everyone! I really hope you enjoyed that... Now I have another cover... This one is sort of out of my element, but I think you'll really like it. Okay, here goes..." She mumbles, cute. "Ahem..."

The track starts playing...

"I am not Jasmine, I am Aladdin. So far ahead, these bums is laggin'. See me in that new thing, bums is gaggin'. I'm startin' to feel like a dungeon dragon!" SS Zelda starts rapping vigorously, spitting Nicki Minaj rhymes into the microphone. Everyone is just as scared as before. "RAAH RAAH! LIKE A DUNGEON DRAGON, I'M STARTIN' TO FEEL LIKE A DUNGEON DRAGON!"

"WOOP! THAT'S MY GIRL!" Sky cheers.

Ghirahim leans over to Navi and whispers, "I really want to support my girlfriend and all, but this is just... Wrong..."

SS Zelda continues the song. She even sings Eminem's rapping portion, which we have cut out due to Tamaki not pressing the BEEP button at the right time. But cut him some slack; none of us were expecting her to sing this...

Once her song finishes, she grins, then bows again. This time, no one's clapping except Sky. He's over the moon.

"YEAH! THAT WAS AWESOME!" He exclaims.

"Alright... I only have one song left. I really hope all this is getting everyone in the Valentine's mood. I'm going to slow it down for the last one. You guys can grab a partner for a slow dance if you'd like~" SS Zelda hums. "Okay, this one was actually written by myself, so I hope you enjoy..."

Zelda lifts the electric guitar off her shoulders, to which everyone sighs in relief. She steps up to the microphone and...

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"

She starts opera singing into the mic. Everyone's finding it a little hard to slow dance to, but they clearly prefer it over the screamo music and the rap songs. They can't quite understand what she's saying though.

Her song goes on for six more minutes, by which point everyone's about to fall asleep. She finishes with a high note, then ends her song, hoping for applause, but everyone is so out of it, they don't realize her song's over.

"Uh, guys, this is when you clap..." She mumbles awkwardly into the mic. Everyone shakes their head out of their daze and starts clapping awkwardly. SS Zelda smiles, bows one last time, and skips off the stage.

"Alright..." Time mutters, holding onto Twilight's hand. "That's fifteen minutes of my life I'll never get back..."

"At least she can sing all genres..." Twilight mumbles. "I'm barely good at singing simple lullabies."

"I'm sure that's not true. You sound like someone who's got a great voice." Time assures, squeezing his hand. Twilight shrugs, stares at the ground. "You gonna be okay Twi?"

Twilight nods weekly, then leans his head on Time's shoulder. Time's face instantly heats up, but he keeps his cool as much as he can, and rests his own head atop Twilight's. They stand there for a while staring at the now empty stage.

"H-Hey... Twilight?" Time stutters. "I... Uh... There's something I want to tell you..."

"Hm?"

"Well, uh, you see... I uh, I really lik-"

"EEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK!"

Suddenly, a terrible shriek enters the dinning hall, instantly making everyone turn silent in fear.

"W-What was that?!" Time shouts.

"It sounded like it came from outside the back door!" Midna says. Everyone races out the back door. They turn their heads, noticing a door to the bowling alley has been swung open. The group races down and enters the large, dark bowling alley to find...

"W-What the hell...?!" Groose mutters.

A dead body. Lying on it's stomach as if it fell forward. The back of it's head bleeding out. A box is in front of it, toppled over and spilling out pieces of styrofoam. A clean, dark blue bowling ball is placed near it's head.

Ciela quickly flutters to the light switch and turns on all the ceiling lights, revealing the owner of the dead body...

"Sky...?" Astrid mumbles, horrified.

The losers and the contestants stare silently at Sky's dead body, completely at a loss as to what they should do. Time perks his head up, noticing the connecting door between the bowling alley and the arcade was left open too. Subconsciously, Time grabs a hold of Twilight's hand and pulls him alongside as he rushes towards the door. The two walk into the brightly-coloured arcade. They find SS Zelda, gazing out a shattered window that looked out towards the beach and the soothing waves.

"Zelda...?" Twilight whispers. SS Zelda turns to face them, with tears running down her face.

"I-I-I... t-tried to c-catch them b-b-but I..." SS Zelda presses through her sobs. Time races over and places his hands on her shoulders for comfort.

"Calm down Zelda... Tell us what happened here..." Time says, trying to be as calm as possible.

"T-There... I saw..." Zelda whimpers. "I-I went to go find Sky because I-I c-couldn't find him after I... after I sang but... t-then I found him... d-dea... de-de-de-"

"It's okay Zelda! Calm down! What happened after that?" Time tries desperately to calm her down.

"I... I saw someone by the door to the arcade... I chased after them... b-but then I heard the window shatter... a-and... when I entered the arcade, they were gone..."

---

It took half an hour to gather everyone and fill everyone in on the situation. All of the losers and contestants sit quietly around SS Zelda while she props herself up on the edge of the stage. The group is quiet. The mood is grim.

Vio walks out of the kitchen with a steaming cup of tea in his hands and offers it silently to SS Zelda. She takes the cup, but merely stares at the liquid.

"A murder...?" Vio mumbles, breaking the silence.

"What the f-*beep* is this bullsh-*beep*?!" Ganon shouts, punching one of his fists into the ground.

"Dude, watch your f-*beep*-ing language." Midna comments.

"What is going on here though?" Tetra mumbles, fiddling with her dress.

Suddenly, a petite, male goron wearing a red and blue SnapBack backwards on his head races into the Dinning Hall with a letter flying around in his hand. "G-Guys! Shadow just sent a letter..."

"What?! And he didn't ask me to send it?!" The Postman gasps. "I'm offended!"

Vio walks over and takes the letter. "S-Should I read aloud?"

The group nods, and with that, the goron scurries off.

"Dear Losers and Contestants,

It seems that an unexpected occurrence has taken place. Originally, I had a happy, cheesy, Valentine's Day challenge for all the losers and the remaining contestants to take part in, but this just seems like way more fun! You all must've found Sky's body, yes? I'm actually a little disappointed to have watched him killed; he was the only straight guy on the show..." Vio begins to read.

"W-What does he mean, 'only straight guy on the show'?!" Time inquires, offended. Everyone glances at him with looks that say, 'Really?'

Vio continues, "I've decided to change the challenge due to his death. Sky's death was not an accident. Someone in the very room you're sitting in killed him. It could be the person beside you. Be cautious. Anyway, only the remaining contestants will get to participate. The losers can only help the contestant of their choosing. Your challenge is to figure out who exactly the killer is. When you think you've got it, come see me in the hotel lobby. Be careful though; if you get the guess wrong, you'll immediately lose the challenge. The winner gets to choose which contestant to eliminate next. Happy deducing~!

~Shadow~"

Vio pauses for a moment, then suddenly crumples up the paper and throws it across the Dinning Hall. "That sadistic asshole!" He shouts. "I hate that I'm attracted to him!"

"T-This... This is just..." Ilia mutters, on the verge of tears.

"That bastard! Making Sky's death some sort of game!" Navi growls.

"Hey! You guys! Regardless of whether this is a challenge or not, we should figure out who murdered Sky and avenge him!" The Random-Floating-Pot says. "So let's stop blaming Shadow and start splitting up into teams!"

"Right. RFP and I can work together. We both want to vote off the same people after all." Midna says. "Who wants to work with us?"

"I'll work with ya!" Navi exclaims.

"Meh, I guess I'll go with you two." Groose mutters.

"If you want, I'll come." Tetra says.

"I'll go too!" Ilia chimes.

"Me! Me! Pleaaaaasseeeeee pick meeeeeeee!" Zant cries.

"That's seven of us. Sounds good." RFP says affirmatively.

"I'll help Twi." Time says.

"Really?" Twilight mumbles softly. "Maybe I'll win if I have you to help me..."

"I'll assist you too." Fi says.

"You just wanna go anywhere Sheik isn't. Seriously, just figure it out! The awkward tension in the air is making my skin bad." Ruto states. Fi doesn't reply. "I'll go with you too Twilight!"

"And you just like, wanna go where ever Time is." Ghirahim rolls his eyes. "I'm in for Team Twilight too!"

"I guess I'll help you. Better than Midna or Sheik." TP Zelda grumbles.

"I'll help Sheik then..." SS Zelda mumbles. "Malon, Ciela, wanna come with?"

The farmer and the fairy girl nod.

"I'll come with you too..." Ganon nearly whispers.

"I can assist you as well, Sheik." Astrid says in a soothing voice.

"Wait... Who're you?" Sheik asks.

"...Astrid."

"I don't remember an Astrid."

"I was 2nd to last place..."

"Huh? No... I'm sorry, I don't remember you. I remember Zant though. Hi Zant."

"Hi!" Zant chimes.

"You remember Zant but not me?!" Astrid shouts.

"Anyway, lets get started!" Time declares. The groups spread out accordingly. Twilight's group immediately heads over to the crime scene - The bowling alley. Midna and RFP's group heads to the escape route - The arcade. And Sheik's group stays in the Dinning Hall, pulling out a sheet of paper and going over the timeline of events...

---

With Twilight's Group...

"Nugh..." Ghirahim groans, sitting beside Sky's bleeding body alongside Sheik. "I-I'm not very good with blood..."

"Pull it together. For Sky." Time says, observing the body.

"S-S-S-S-Sky... WAH!" Ghirahim starts to sob. "W-Who c-could've *hic* d-done like, such... a... h-horrid thing?!"

"It's hard to believe it's one of us... I like, totally cannot picture anyone doing it!" Ruto exclaims.

"I-I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO CONFESS MY LOVE FOR HIM!" Ghirahim wails.

"I'm pretty sure he already knew about your love..." Time says.

"So... uh... Anything on the body?" Twilight asks.

"Well... it seems like it only took one blow to the head. The box here... Seems like he was carrying this in. Then he got hit in the back of the head. There's no signs of resist. I don't think he suspected anything to happen to him..." Time says.

"That's amazing Time!" Twilight exclaims. "I never would've been able to do this on my own..."

"So, what's in the box?" TP Zelda asks, crossing her arms. Ruto shuffles over and glances in.

"It's like, plastic forks and knives and stuff..." Ruto says. "Why did he bring these into the bowling alley?"

The group pauses, trying to think up a scenario, but they're at a complete loss.

"Well, I'm gonna take a walk." TP Zelda says. She walks out the back door, out into the alleyway before anyone has a chance to speak up.

"Don't you think she's suspicious?" Ruto mutters. "She walked out of here really fast."

"Yeah! W-What if she's going to go cover up evidence?!" Ghirahim gasps.

"Maybe we should have a super secret spy or something watch her." Twilight suggests.

"Sure. Ghirahim, why don't you be our secret spy?" Time asks.

"Eh?!"

"You're quick on your feet, right? This should be no problem. Plus... You look like you're gonna faint if you stay another minute looking at Sky." Time explains.

"You've like, totes got a good point. Okay, I'll do my best."

With that, Ghirahim exits the bowling alley, and the remaining four continue to investigate the crime scene.

"Hm... This is interesting." Fi says softly.

"Did you find something?!" Twilight asks, excited.

"A bottle of pills." She replies.

"What kind of pills?" Time asks.

"I'm 80% sure that these are anger management pills." Fi says. "Ah, here's something."

"What is it?"

"On the front label. It says, 'Ganondorf Dragmire'."

---

With Midna & The Random-Floating-Pot-That-Attacks-You-But-Leaves-A-Heart-So-There's-Really-No-Point's Group...

"DUDES!" Navi shouts, fluttering giddy towards Midna. "I WAS TOTALLY LISTENING IN ON TWILIGHT'S GROUP THROUGH THE DOOR AN-"

"Navi! Pipe down! The whole point of being a spy is that they don't notice you've been spying on them!" Tetra lectures.

"Ugh, whatever. So, apparently, Fi just found a bottle of Ganondorf's pills on the ground near Sky's body." Navi says quietly.

"That's some strong evidence, huh? How else would've Ganon's pills gotten to the bowling alley if he didn't kill him?" Ilia comments.

"CASE SOLVED! Let's go tell Shadow!" Zant exclaims.

"Hey! We can't just assume it's anyone Fish-Tongue! We have to know for sure!" Midna smacks Zant on the side of the head. "If we get the answer wrong, we'll lose the challenge! We need more evidence than that."

"Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! No one ever listens to meeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Zant whines.

"Yeah, for now, Let's continue searching the arcade." The Random-Floating-Pot orders. Zant and Ilia continue to observe the front entrance. Navi goes back to leaning her ear against the door to the bowling alley. RFP starts to slowly float around the room, investigating each and every dusty old game system. Midna decides to observe the shattered window.

"Notice anything?" Groose asks, approaching Midna with is hands stuffed in his pockets.

"I 'unno... Just looks like whoever did this jumped out this window to escape." Midna says, picking at the remaining pieces of glass still connected to the window frame.

"They must've been fast. Zelda was chasing after them. She was the star member of the track team in junior high." Groose says, leaning against the wall. "I was right behind her. I was almost just as good as she was, I'll have you know."

"So, what? You're the killer?"

"Hell no! I'm slower than her, though only a little. It had to be someone faster than she is..."

Midna chuckles. "So I guess the Bean Seller's out of the picture, huh?"

Groose laughs too. "Yeah, I guess so. Kind of a funny thing to picture; him running super fast."

"Hahah..." Midna smiles. But her smile suddenly goes serious when she notices something. "Huh? Wait! L-Look!"

"Huh?"

"Footprints! Outside! In the sand!" Midna exclaims, hopping out the window with Groose following behind her. Just as she said, there's footprints all across the beach. "See? if you jump out of the window, you jump right into the sand. That's why there's these footprints here..."

Just as Midna said, a trail of large footprints left marks along the sand until it reached the back alleyway where the back entrances to the Dinning Hall and the Bowling Alley were.

"Whose are they?" Groose asks.

"Looks like a man's foot, going by shape and size..." Midna mutters, crouching down by the footprints. "But it's still an average size. No distinct features. It'll be impossible to figure out whose it is..."

"How about the pattern of the bottom of his shoe? Can we go off that?" Groose points at the print. Clearly there's some form of logo there, but neither Groose nor Midna recognize it.

"Huh... I don't know." Midna says. "Let's ask the others."

"Sure thing."

---

With Sheik's Group...

"Okay, let's start figuring out when and how exactly Sky left the room..." Sheik starts.

"Okay... Well, I remember distinctly that Sky was on the side of the stage right up until SS Zelda's show. He gave her a good luck kiss right before she went on." Ciela says.

"Disgusting." Ganon grumbles.

"What happened to him afterwards?" Astrid asks.

"I don't know... I wasn't really watching him..." Ciela says with a sigh.

"Not sure if it helps, but my concert was only ten-minutes long, approximately." SS Zelda states.

"Maybe... Sky just got really tired from all the stimuli with the lights and all the people, so he went out to the back alleyway during Zelda's ten-minute concert." Malon suggests.

"He did get tired often." SS Zelda mumbles, tears forming at the edge of her eyes.

"Then after that, the murderer had to lure him into the bowling alley." Malon says.

"So... it has to be someone he trusts..." Sheik mutters. He pulls out a sheet of paper and a pen as he starts writing down every single one of the contestants names down.

"What're you doing?" Ganon questions.

"We should start ruling out people..." Sheik says as he starts to cross out people's names.

SS Zelda X

Sky X

Ganondorf X

Midna

Sheik

Bean Seller X

Malon

Ilia

Groose X

Ciela X

The Random-Floating-Pot-That-Attacks-You-But-Leaves-A-Heart-So-There's-Really-No-Point X

TP Zelda

Twilight

Ghirahim

Navi X

Fi

Ruto

Zant X

Tetra

Time

Astrid X

And the Postman

Sheik pushes the paper out so everyone can see. "Zant and Astrid - Sky didn't get to know them very well. Groose and Ganon - obvious. The Bean Seller - I remember overhearing he and Sky weren't on good terms. Navi, Ciela, and The Random-Floating-Pot - Well, SS Zelda would've noticed if it was a fairy or a pot. And SS Zelda herself - she was singing during his death. There's no way she could've-"

"Actually, SS Zelda could've killed him right before she screamed so that you wouldn't suspect her..." The Bean Seller pipes up. "But that's none of my business. Munch munch munch..."

Sheik's group glances over to one of the eating tables to see the Bean Seller - eating his magic beans as usual - and the Postman - playing on his 3DS.

"Wait, shouldn't you guys be helping one of the groups?" Malon inquires.

"Yes, but no one invited us." The Postman mutters, not taking his eyes off his game. "Wow, this customer is reaaaaaaallyyy annoying!"

"I didn't want to go anyway. That requires walking and using your brain. Munch munch munch..." The Bean Seller adds.

"Ugh! You two are so lazy! Someone's dead! You still don't move an inch!" Malon exclaims.

"Yeah, that's not nice you guys." Ciela says.

"I-I know you two didn't get along but..." SS Zelda mumbles. "Please help! We need to figure out Sky's murder!"

"Please guys?" Sheik asks.

"Hm..." The Bean Seller pauses "Mm...

...

...

...

...

...

Mm... Nah. I don't wanna." He says with a shrug. "Munch munch munch..."

---

With Midna & The Random-Floating-Pot-That-Attacks-You-But-Leaves-A-Heart-So-There's-Really-No-Point's Group...

Everyone sits quietly in a circle in the middle of the arcade. Midna slides a small photograph into the centre of it.

"These were the footprints we found outside. Any ideas who they might've come from?" Midna asks.

"Hm... It looks like a pretty average size for a guy... Like a size 9 or 10." Zant says. "Mine are a size 6, in case you were wondering."

"Aweh~! You have such cute, small feet!" Ilia comments.

"D-Don't call me cute! I'm supposed to strike fear into people!" Zant cries. "FEAR!"

"Heehee! So adorable!" Ilia pokes at Zant's cheek.

"Why doesn't anyone feeeeeaaaarrrrr meeeeeeeeeeeeeee?!" Zant whines.

"Focus guys." Tetra claps her hands together.

"Okay, so we know it's a guy..." RFP states.

"HEY! LOOK! There's a logo in the footprints!" Navi shouts.

"We know, but we can't figure it out." Groose explains.

"We need someone who knows their shoe brands..." RFP mutters.

"Someone who's really fashionable..." Midna mumbles.

The group pauses.

"Ghirahim!" They all exclaim simultaneously.

"But Ghirahim's on Twilight's team. And if we asked for his help, he'd probably look at the photograph and run off to tell his group instead of telling us." Ilia says.

"We need someone to get something out of him... Navi, Tetra, you two were friends with him. Can't you go ask?" RFP suggests.

"We could try, but I still think Ghirahim would stay loyal to his team." Tetra sighs.

"How about someone just goes and seduces him?" Navi exclaims.

"What?!"

"Well, c'mon! Ghirahim likes that sort of attention! I'm sure you could get him to tell you what logo this is if you get him to really like you." Navi states.

"Yeah, one problem: Ghirahim's super, flamboyantly gay." Groose says.

Everyone looks at Groose.

A pause.

"What...?" Groose asks. "Oh... Oh! No! Nononononononononononono-"

"We can't do it Groose! We're all girls." Ilia points out.

"Zant's a guy!" Groose shouts.

"Yeah... Zant's not Ghirahim's type." Tetra mutters.

"What, and I am?!"

"Well, not really, no, but there's no harm in trying." Midna says casually.

"NO HARM!? HOW ABOUT HARMING MY MANLY PRIDE?! HOW ABOUT HARMING MY REPUTATION?!"

"It's not like you have a cool reputation or anything - not with those crazy-ass yellow lips." Navi comments.

"STUPID LITTLE FAIRY!" Groose growls.

"C'mon Groose, go! We don't got all day!" Midna states as all the girls start shove Groose out the door.

"N-NO! DON'T MAKE ME! H-HEY! WHY YOU-"

---

Groose stumbles out of the arcade. The rest of the team slams the door shut, refusing to let him back in. He growls, constantly grumbling under his breath as he trudges over to back alleyway behind the Dinning Hall and the Bowling Alley. Groose is surprised when he finds Ghirahim, crouched behind one of the dumpsters, spying on one of his own teammates, TP Zelda, who's suspiciously sticking her hands into one of the bushes outlining the forest.

Groose approaches Ghirahim cautiously. "Uh... Hey-"

"AH!" Ghirahim shouts. Suprisingly, there's no reaction from TP Zelda. "Shhhh! Shut up Girlfriend-Boyfriend-Thing! I'm like, trying to be a spy!"

"Dude, you're the one screaming!" Groose replies in a husky whisper.

"Whatever, just be quiet..."

The two sit awkwardly beside each other, watching TP Zelda rummage through the bushes.

"H-Hey... Ghirahim..." Groose winces, internally cringing at what he's planning to say. "I-I hope you know CPR, because you take my breath away... Heheh..."

Ghirahim pauses, then turns to Groose with a look of confusion.

"...What did you just say to me?"

Groose looks back at him with a forced, awkward smile. He tries another line; "Are you a magician? Because, Abraca-damn, girl! Er, guy!"

Ghirahim stares back at him with narrow eyes. "Are you... Hitting on me?!"

"Do you have a mirror in your pocket? 'Cause I can see myself in your pan-Nope. I can't do it. F*beep*ing just look at this logo and tell me what it is!" Groose snaps, basically chucking the photo of the footprints in Ghirahim's face.

"Huh? What're these-"

"Hey! Ghirahim!" TP Zelda suddenly calls out. "I found a something in the bushes!"

Ghirahim slowly pops his head out from behind the dumpster. "W-What?! How did you know I was here?!"

"Uh, I dunno, maybe cause your voice is so distinctly obnoxious and loud?" TP Zelda says sarcastically. "It was smart hiding behind the dumpster though; you really do blend in with all that trash."

"YOU LITTLE-"

"Ghirahim! Focus and tell me what this is! Now!" Groose steps in the way of Ghirahim and taps the photograph.

"It's the Crocs logo, now wILL YOU LET ME BEAT UP THIS SNOOTY, SPOILED PRINCESS?!" Ghirahim shouts in fury.

"Wait, what're those photographs?! Footprints?!" TP Zelda inquires, approaching the two.

"Huh? What? Uh... Yeah-I mean, No! Uh, maybe?" Groose tries to play dumb, stuffing the photograph back into his pockets.

"Footprints... And Ghirahim just said it was the Crocs logo... There was only one person who was wearing Crocs to the party..." TP Zelda mutters.

Ghirahim gasps.

"Ganon."

---

Ghirahim and Groose race towards the Hotel Lobby, shoving each other aside in hopes to reach the lobby first.

"Outta my way Pale-Face! We're winning this challenge!" Groose shouts, shoulder-chucking Ghirahim to the side. Ghirahim stumbles, but quickly stabilizes himself and catches up to Groose's side.

"You get out of the way Yellow-Lips! I'm winning this challenge for Twilight!" Ghirahim cries. He suddenly tackles Groose, sending them both to the ground. They wrestle, pulling at each other's hair and sending aimless punches at the other's face. Meanwhile, TP Zelda sneaks by them without catching any attention and races towards the front entrance of the hotel.

Zelda furiously knocks at the front door. "Open up Shadow! I know who the killer is!"

The door doesn't open, but you can hear Shadow's voice replying from inside, "Oh yeah? And who might it be?"

"Clearly it's Ganon! We found his footprints and his pills and he's the only one who could outrun SS Zelda!" TP Zelda replies, wiping a drop of sweat from her forehead.

Shadow opens the door with a smile. Zelda glares back, waiting for Shadow to congratulate her (and somehow insult her in the process) on winning. But instead of offering a congrats of any sort, Shadow pulls out a red button out of his pocket, puts it close to Zelda's face, and presses it. It lets out a terribly loud "BZZZZZRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTT" noise, clearly letting her know she got the wrong answer.

"Ugh! Can you not destroy my eardrums?!" TP Zelda growls, slapping the button out of Shadow's hand.

"Wrong answer! Looks like Twilight's group made the wrong accusation! Which means they're out of the game!" Shadow says with a big cheesy grin.

"W-What?! B-But-"

"Sorry Princess. Go let your team know they're not allowed to further participate in the investigation, 'kay?"

"But-"

Shadow suddenly slams the door shut before TP Zelda can protest. She stares at the door, dumbfounded.

"UGH! I HATE LOSING!" She suddenly screams before stomping off.

---

In the Dinning Hall...

All the losers and contestants gather in the Dinning Hall, sitting on the floor and staring at each other.

"So Twilight, Fi, Ghirahim, TP Zelda, Ruto and I aren't allowed to help in the investigation any more?" Time confirms. TP Zelda nods, letting out a sigh.

"Ugh! It's all that stupid snot-nosed princess's fault!" Ghirahim declares, staring daggers at TP Zelda.

"Don't act like you and Groose weren't racing to make the same accusation!" TP Zelda rolls her eyes.

"Geez, I'm glad I didn't make it to the door first now." Groose says.

"Who did you accuse?" Ciela asks curiously.

"Ganon, duh!" Ghirahim replies.

"WHAT?! YOU THOUGHT I MURDERED SKY?!" Ganon gasps. "WHAT DO YOU TAKE ME FOR?! A RAGING UNCONTROLLABLE SOCIOPATHIC DEMON LORD INCARNATION?!

"...Well, kinda." Navi replies.

"We found your anger management pills at the crime scene." Fi states.

"And we found your foot prints in the sand outside the window." Midna adds.

"YOU REALLY THINK I'M A MURDERER?!" Ganon shouts. "I'M SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW!"

Ganon starts picking up random pieces of furniture around the Dinning Hall and smashing them into pieces. Everyone shrugs. They go back to their conversation.

"Y'know, if you guys talked to our group, you would've known it couldn't have been Ganon." Malon says, barely heard through the loud grunts and cries of frustration from Ganon.

"Why's that?" Ruto asks.

"Sky wouldn't have just randomly went to the Bowling Alley, especially not to miss congratulating SS Zelda after her concert. Someone he trusted had to make him go there. Clearly Ganon wasn't someone he would trust." Sheik explains.

"Huh... That's true..." RFP mutters. "Who else did you rule out?"

"Zant, some girl named Astrid, Groose, the Bean Seller, and SS Zelda." Malon replies.

"Hm... That's not good. SS Zelda could've killed Sky before she screamed to avoid being suspected." Midna states. Tears brim at the corners of SS Zelda's eyes.

"I-I wouldn't! W-W-What motive c-could I possibly have to kill Sky?!" SS Zelda starts sobbing. Ciela flutters over to her shoulder to comfort her.

"What motive could any of us have?" Sheik mutters. Everyone - including Ganon - goes quiet. None of them had a motive... Did they?

"Wait a minute... Why did you guys use my footprints as evidence?" Ganon asks, suddenly back to being calm.

"Hm?"

"Those footprints were from my walk I take around the island every afternoon. They started at the beginning of the beach by the movie theatre too. If those were my footprints from after I murdered Sky, they would've started at the window."

"Whoopsie Daisy." Zant mumbles.

"Huh... But the murderer had to have jumped out the window. You heard the smash, right SS Zelda?" Midna confirms. SS Zelda nods. "Then there should've been another set of footprints from the culprit in the sand..."

"But there wasn't." RFP states.

"Maybe the waves cleared them up before you could investigate?" Ilia suggests.

"No, because then Ganon's footprints would've been wiped away too." Midna replies. The group goes quiet, trying to put the pieces together...

Suddenly, the Postman gasps. Everyone stares.

"I got it!" The Postman declares.

"Really?! You figured it out?!" SS Zelda gasps, eyes filled with hope.

"Yes! I did it!" The Postman cries. "This customer I'm serving isn't feminine; she's luxury! That's why she didn't like my outifts! Silly me!"

The group glares at the Postman, who innocently continues to play his fashion game on his DS.

Groose suddenly stands up, walks over to the Postman and the Bean Seller, picks them up, and chucks them out the window. "Useless idiots." He grumbles.

"Alright, we all just need to focus and look at the situation from a different angle..." Midna says. Everyone focuses, trying to use their heads to figure out the mystery. Twilight sighs.

"Pooey... I feel so useless..." Twilight mutters solemnly. Time wraps his arm around Twilight's shoulder.

"It's okay, they'll figure it out." Time assures.

"I know that. It'll be easier to figure out without me anyway. I won't be able to get in their way..." Twilight mutters with his eyes focused on the floor. Time watches him with a worried gaze.

"Wait a minute! What if the murderer didn't go out through the window? Maybe he just went out the front door of the arcade." Ciela suggests.

"But SS Zelda heard the window smash. That was from him going out the window, right?" Ilia states.

"No... Ciela's right. The murderer could've smashed the window on his way out to make us think he went out the window, when in reality, he went out the front door." RFP says.

"Hmm... That's not right." Navi states. "Ghirahim and I wanted to go play in the arcade earlier today, but we couldn't get in."

"That's right! Something was like, in the way n' stuff." Ghirahim adds.

"Well, when we went to investigate the arcade one of the machines had fallen over and blocked the front doorway. Zant and I had to pick it up and put it back in place." Tetra informs. "Maybe that's why you couldn't get in?"

"So the murderer had to go out some other way?" Sheik confirms. The group hums, more confused now than before.

"Well, I'm gonna take my group and investigate the arcade a bit more." Midna states.

"Yeah, we'll go investigate the bowling alley." Sheik says calmly. The groups gather up and start heading out into the back alleyway.

"Hey! Sheik!" TP Zelda calls out just before he leaves. "Those bushes out there... check them out."

"Huh?"

"I'm not allowed to help any more. Just go check the bushes in the alleyway." TP Zelda says with a huff. Sheik smiles.

"Thanks Zelda."

Sheik leaves with his group, and Zelda grumbles, "I hate being nice."

---

With Sheik's Group...

"Alright, TP Zelda told me to check the bushes..." Sheik mutters to himself as he rummages through the bushes leading into the forest. The rest of his group stare with questioning gazes.

"Uh, Sheik, what're you doing?" Malon asks, peering over his shoulder.

"Looking..." Sheik mumbles. His hand suddenly hits something. "Hm? What's this?"

Sheik pulls out a cardboard box from inside the bushes.

"It's sort of like the box that was near Sky, wasn't it?" Ciela comments.

"Yeah... And look, it's got the same stuff in it. Plastic forks, knives, spoons..." Sheik says, opening the box.

"Why's there another box here?" SS Zelda questions.

"Was Sky carrying two boxes and dropped one by accident here?" Astrid suggests.

"Woah, wait, who're you?" Ganon questions. Astrid scrunches her face up in frustration.

"Let's compare the two boxes in the Bowling Alley." Sheik says. The group nods and follows him into the Bowling Alley...

They enter the dimly lit bowling alley. Sky's body is lying in the same place as before. Beside his body is the toppled over box, a bowling ball, and Ganon's pills. Nothing has changed.

Sheik walks over to the box and starts comparing it to the one he found in the bush. They're almost exactly the same.

While Sheik investigates, Ganon picks up his bottle of pills. "There're my pills! Damn it! Someone must've took them and used them to frame me! THAT MAKES ME REALLY ANGR-"

Ganon is cut off when Malon rips the bottle of his hands, opens it, and stuffs some pills into his mouth.

"Get a hold of yourself! Goddesses!" Malon grumbles, forcing Ganon to swallow down the pills.

Ciela ignores the two and flutters over to Sheik's shoulder. "So... Did you find anything?" she asks.

"Well... They seem to have the same stuff in them. Maybe Sky was helping unload the shipped boxes?" Sheik suggests.

"The killer must've known he was helping, and then snuck up on him while he was transporting the box." Ciela says.

"Maybe... But there's also the box in the bushes. That's sort of a weird place to put the box, don't you think? I don't think Sky would've put it there, or dropped it without noticing. It's a big box." Sheik states.

"So maybe someone was helping Sky move the boxes. And when they figured they wanted to murder him, they tossed the box aside into the bushes and attacked him. He wouldn't have suspected anything."

"That's a good theory. Good work Ciela."

Ciela smiles with an unnoticeable blush spread across her cheeks.

"Um..." SS Zelda starts, catching everyone's attention. "Don't you think something's weird here?"

"Other than the fact that your boyfriend was randomly murdered on international television and that police haven't made any sort of effort to get over here and arrest the murderer even though clearly he was caught on camera by Shadow?" Ganon asks.

"Um, that too I suppose, but I was going to talk about how he died. I think we all assumed it was the bowling ball that the murderer used, but... I think that's impossible." SS Zelda spoke softly.

"Why's that?" Sheik asks.

"Because the bowling ball is perfectly clean. S-Shouldn't there be blood on it?"

"Huh... That's true..."

"Maybe they washed it?" Ciela suggests.

"But if they washed it, why would they put it back on the floor? They should've put it back with the rest of the bowling balls." Malon says.

"Exactly... It's like... The murderer wanted us to think that this bowling ball was the murder weapon..." Sheik says.

"So... There's another murder weapon?" Ganon confirms.

"That's what it looks like. Let's start looking people!" Sheik commands.

---

With Midna & The Random-Floating-Pot-That-Attacks-You-But-Leaves-A-Heart-So-There's-Really-No-Point's Group...

Just outside the arcade, everyone on Team Midna and RFP sigh in frustration. They slide down the outer walls and sit on the cold cement.

"I don't understaaaaaaaaannnnnnddd! We turned the whole arcade upside-down and we stillllllll haven't found anything." Zant whines, hugging his knees close to his chest.

"It makes no sense! How could've the murderer escaped?!" Ilia questions.

"Maybe they jumped out of the window, but instead of landing in the sand they climbed to the roof!" RFP suggests.

"That's not possible. The roof is too high up from the window." Midna rejects. "Goddesses, I have no clue..."

The team sighs in unison, all defeated and out of hope...

"HEY! Wait a minute! Why're you all acting like you're giving up!? You can't lose hope people! This is all for Sky! You can't just give up on him because you're out of ideas! The answer's here somewhere, we just have to keep looking! Don't lose hope people! We can do this!" Navi suddenly exclaims. The group pauses for a moment, staring at fairy, but then they nod in agreement, slowly finding their motivation again.

"Alright people! Like Navi said: we can't give up! We should look elsewhere! Maybe our next clue isn't in the arcade, but somewhere else on this island." Midna commands.

"Hey, Midna, before we go anywhere else, can we look down here?" Groose asks, staring down the dark alleyway between the arcade and the movie theatre.

"Uh... Why do you want to go down there?" Tetra asks.

"I keep noticing something down there... Something sparkly..." Groose states.

"Aweh, Groosey-Poo wants to go see the sparkly thing~!" Navi teases, only to be smacked to the side by Groose. The group decides to follow Groose into the alleyway anyway. The cement is wet, the walls are crawling with ivy, and the ground is decorated with trash. But amongst it all, near the back, is the source of sparkle Groose had noticed. It was a blade, reflecting a bit of light from the lamp post.

"Woah... What's that?" RFP questions, floating up to the blade. "It's a butcher knife!"

The group surrounds the knife, staring at it with curious looks.

"H-Hey, is that blood on the handle?!" Zant nearly screams.

"Yeah... There's blood on the handle, but not on the actual blade..." Midna mutters. "Hey, now that I think back to it, I assumed that bowling ball was the weapon, but I don't remember there being any blood on it. This must've been the weapon instead!"

"But how'd it end up in an alleyway like this?" Tetra asks.

"Were they trying to hide it? I mean, no one would've checked this alleyway if it weren't for the intelligent, sharp-minded Groose." Groose boasts.

"If they were trying to hide it, don't you think they would've thrown it in the dumpster over there?" Ilia states. "It looks like they dropped it or something."

"HEY! LOOK! I found something!" Navi suddenly shouts. The group rushes over to her. "Lookie, lookie, a hair elastic!"

Midna carefully picks up the elastic and holds it up to the light. She notices a few strands of hair on it.

"If only we could do a DNA test or something..." The Random-Floating-Pot mumbles.

"Doesn't matter. Look closely and you'll notice..." Midna mutters with a smile.

"Oh! It's blonde!" Zant points out.

"Exactly! Who's blonde on this island?" Midna inquires.

"Uh... SS Zelda, Sheik, Twilight - sort of - Tetra, and Time..." Ilia lists.

"Twilight and Time were crossed off of Sheik's list, right?" Midna confirms.

"So was SS Zelda!" Groose adds.

"So that leaves..." Tetra mutters.

"You and Sheik." RFP states.

The group stares at Tetra.

"H-Hey! You can't seriously think it's me!" Tetra growls. "I didn't do anything! I was with you guys at the party the whole time!"

"She's getting weirdly defensive~" Zant hums.

"Huh... Wait a minute... You said something weird at the party..." Midna mutters.

"W-What? What did I say?" Tetra inquires.

"What was it...? Oh, it was about Vio's Valentine's gift..." Midna snaps her fingers. Tetra blushes.

"Yeah, W-What about it?!"

"You said you left it in the arcade by accident and that you had to go get it sometime around midnight, but that contradicts one of the rules Ghirahim told me..." Midna states. "All the doors to the buildings except the hotel lock shut at 10:00."

The group gasps.

"So, tell me Tetra, how did you get into the arcade last night?" Midna interrogates. Tetra starts sweating, cautiously backing up from Midna. "There's a secret entrance right? And you're the only one who knows about it, that's how you got out of the arcade after killing Sky!"

"N-No! You've got it all wrong! I didn't kill Sky! None of us could've!" Tetra cries out.

"Prove it!" Groose demands.

Tetra pauses, looking down at her hands.

"...There is one other person who knows about the entrance..." Tetra mumbles.

"And who's that?!" Navi questions.

"The person who told me about it..." Tetra sighs. "Last night, when I realized I had forgotten Vio's Valentine in the arcade, I went out of my room and started walking towards the arcade. But I ran into someone on the way there. He asked me what I was doing and told him I had forgotten my bag, but then he reminded me of the 10:00 rule about the doors. I was about to go back into my room, but he told me I could get in through a secret entrance he found..." Tetra leads the group to the side wall of the alley way. She presses against a certain faded-coloured portion of the wall and a small, square door is revealed. "I thanked him and went in, but I accidentally knocked down a couple of machines cause it was so dark. I swear, I just got the bag and went back to my room. I never used this entrance since."

"Yeah, but who's 'he'?" Ilia asks. Tetra goes quiet.

"Hm. It can only be one person, huh?" Midna mutters.

"Who?" RFP questions.

"...Vio."

In the Dinning Hall...

All the contestants and losers are gathered in the Dinning Hall, sitting in a clump like the last time. The mood is somber and grim...

"That... Actually makes sense..." Sheik mutters, after listening to Midna's explanation.

"Oh! I remember Mr. Vio wouldn't let anyone in the kitchen too! So only he could've gotten that knife!" The Postman adds.

"Oh, so now you're helpful." Navi rolls her eyes.

"So it sounds like Vio asked Sky to help move some boxes into the bowling alley near the end of SS Zelda's performance, tagged behind Sky so he could toss his box into the bushes, and whacked Sky on the back of the head while he was holding his box. Then, while he was running away from SS Zelda, smashed the window so it seemed like he jumped out, then actually escaped through the secret entrance in the alleyway. We didn't notice because Vio didn't follow us when we heard the scream anyway. He just comforted us during the aftermath." Time explains.

"It must be like, Shadow's sadistic side influencing him!" Ruto exclaims.

"So... Who's going to tell Shadow?" TP Zelda questions. "Whoever tells him wins the challenge."

"You should Midna, Random-Floating-Pot. You two figured it out." Sheik says kindly.

"What? But you helped too! That's not fair for us to take the win like that." Midna says.

"Yeah, and you know that we were planning to vote you off this challenge, right?" The Random-Floating-Pot adds.

"Yes, I guessed that. But being perfectly honest, I think one of you two deserve to win more so than I do." Sheik replies with a smile. "Besides, I'm not sure I want to go back to that crummy island after being here."

"Hey, only if you're sure Sheik. You're giving up a million rupees here!" Midna states.

"W-Wait! Why don't you just vote me off instead?" Twilight interjects.

"Huh? T-Twi!" Time gasps.

"I-It's not like I deserve to be here anyway! I didn't even do anything this challenge. Sheik should stay in the competition. You should vote me off instead." Twilight exclaims.

"Hey! Don't talk like that Twilight!" Time whips Twilight around to face him. "You said you were gonna win for the both of us, remember? You can't just give up like this!"

"Twilight... Why suddenly do you doubt yourself?" SS Zelda asks, walking over to his side. Twilight pouts, really quiet.

"Yeah Twilight! You deserve to be in the competition more than anyone!" Ruto exclaims.

"Totes! You're like, the nicest person on this island!" Ghirahim adds.

"And you're super adorable." Ciela says.

"And you make everyone laugh!" The Random-Floating-Pot says.

"You're really athletic too." Ilia adds with a blush.

"You're a lot more intelligent than you let yourself believe." Fi says.

"Y'know you're actually one of the guys on this island that I can stand..." Groose grumbles.

"And you're always trying to play a fair game." Sheik states.

Twilight tears up, hearing everyone's kind comments. He buries his face into his hands. "Y-You guys-! Y-You're s-so nice to m-me!"

Everyone "Aweh..."'s at the sight. Time wraps his arms around Twilight and pulls him into a hug. The mood is all lovely and warm until...

The front door to the Dinning Hall swings open, and with a book in his hands enters Vio, oblivious to the discovery the group made. He looks up to see everyone glaring at him.

"...Good evening?" Vio mumbles, confused. Ganon steps forward, literally growling. He grabs the front of Vio's shirt and pulls him close to his face. "U-Uh-"

"DON'T 'UH' ME! WE ALL KNOW IT WAS YOU! I HATED SKY BUT I STILL WANT TO KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!" Ganon shouts.

Contradictory to the situation, Vio lets on a smile and sheepishly scratches the back of his head. "Oh, you figured it out."

Ganon lets out a raging cry as he throws Vio into the wall.

"W-Woah! Ganon! Wait! Don't actually kill him!" Ciela cries.

"Ngh..." Vio groans in pain. He notices Ganon slowly approaching him. "Wait, you should talk to Shadow first before you hurt me!"

"Why? So you can delay me pounding your face in?!" Ganon shouts in Vio's face.

"Well, in a sense, yes - but it's more so because you guys don't understand the situation-Dammit Shadow! I know you can see this!" Vio suddenly changes his focus to the camera up in the corner. After he shouts into the camera, it isn't long before Shadow rushes into the dinning hall with a couple of gorons and a pale, white-haired boy, calmly eating a bagel while following behind him.

"H-Hey! I'm the only one who's allowed to get that close to Vio!" Shadow shouts, glaring daggers at Ganon. Ganon scoffs, but decides to back off. "Allow me to explain. Vio didn't kill anyone. No one got killed. This whole challenge was a set-up. I paid Sky and Vio to act as the victim and the culprit and stage a murder mystery for you guys. I wanted to stick with the pattern - Y'know, the whole "mystery-on-Valentine's-Day" thing."

"W-Wait! Does that mean...?" SS Zelda gasps. At the sound of her voice, Sky - alive and well - cautiously steps into the dinning hall. SS Zelda smiles, instantly running into his arms. Sky lifts her up and twirls her around, squeezing her tightly in return.

"I don't know whether to hit you and kiss you..." SS Zelda says with a playful smile.

"I prefer the latter." Sky replies sheepishly.

The two press their lips together in a romantic, loving kiss.

"Yeah... It wasn't a bad murder mystery... Not enough hope. I'd give it 3/5 Komaeda Points." The pale, white-haired boy finally speaks up.

"Uh, who's he?" TP Zelda inquires.

"Honestly, no clue. He just appeared on the island." Shadow replies. "He's... interesting."

"Thank you." The boy replies with a genuine smile.

"That wasn't a compliment."

"Oh." The boy takes a bite of his bagel. "I'm Nagito Komaeda. I heard someone on this island say 'hope', so of course, I had to go see what was happening. It was a little boring, honestly. There wasn't as much hope as I was expecting."

"Alright, I'm just gonna ignore the creepy kid..." Time mutters. "Does that mean that was you pretending to be dead in the bowling alley Sky?"

"No, no. I'm not that good of an actor. Shadow got fake dead body and dressed it up like me, right Shadow?" Sky explains.

"Uh... Yeah, it was totally a fake body... Heheh, definitely not one of my interns from the past who tested one of the challenges..." Shadow awkwardly mutters. He suddenly pulls out a long can of Nestea and takes a long sip as everyone stares, wide-eyed.

"A-Anyway, that means the winner of the challenge is Midna and The Random-Floating-Pot!" Vio changes the subject. Midna smiles, clapping her hands together.

"You're voting off Sheik right?" Nagito questions. "That's a little boring. I'd be more exciting and hopeful to vote off Twilight, don't you think?"

"No one asked for your opinion Pale-Whale." Navi spits.

"Oh, silly me. I almost forgot I'm just a piece of trash. I shouldn't be talking to people like you so casually." Nagito laughs to himself. "Well, I should go back to my island and try to wake up my dead friends. Goodbye now!"

Nagito takes the last bite of his bagel and trots out the door with a care-free smile on his face. Everyone pauses.

"This is why we don't do crossovers." Shadow mutters. "So, what'll it be you two? Sheik or Twilight?"

Midna and The Random-Floating-Pot-That-Attacks-You-But-Leaves-A-Heart-So-There's-Really-No-Point look at each other, then nod. "I think we're going to have to vote off Sheik..." Midna says.

Sheik sighs, but he has a smile on his face. Twilight looks sad, but he smiles when Time puts his hand on his shoulder.

The Next Morning...

All the losers and contestants are gathered by the dock in front of the hotel. Everyone is hugging each other goodbye. TP Zelda stands to the side with her arms crossed and her face scrunched up in a pout.

"Zelda~!" Twilight sings, running up to her and wrapping his arms around her.

"H-Hey! Watch it!" TP Zelda grumbles, but Twilight doesn't let go. Instead he holds her even tighter. TP Zelda acquiesces, and hugs him back.

Near the other end of the crowd, Fi and Sheik watch as Midna and RFP say their goodbyes. Sheik nudges Fi. "...Hey, about that last episode..."

"Let's forget about it."

"Huh?"

"Let's pretend as though the event never occurred. I'd like to return to being your friend." Fi explains.

"...Yeah. Sure. I think that's a good idea." Sheik replies.

"Besides, you are infamous for forgetting the kisses you share with girls." Fi adds with a small smile. Sheik furrows his brows.

"Wait... what?"

Fi floats away, leaving Sheik confused in the middle of the crowd.

Meanwhile...

Vio, lugging back Shadow's unnecessary number of bags through the crowd, is tapped on the shoulder by Tetra. He turns around, a little hesitant.

"Hey... I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to be such a bi-*beep*." Tetra says awkwardly.

"No, I sort of blew up at you. I guess I was building up all this frustration about how people talk about Shadow and I and... I guess talking to you just kinda sent me over the edge. I'm sorry for yelling at you." Vio replies with a small smile.

"...I mean it though. I don't think he's good for you. I think you should be with someone better. That's not necessarily me, but y'know..."

"Right... I know..."

"And if you think you being with him is going to change him into a better person - it's not. Shadow's Shadow. If you really do love him you're going to have to deal with him like this for the rest of your life." Tetra states.

"Yeah. We'll see how everything turns out." Vio replies. Tetra leans forward and gives him a kiss on the cheek. He smiles, then turns around and walks onto the boat.

Meanwhile, Midna approaches Time and gives him a big hug.

"See ya Man! It was really good seeing you!" Midna says, pulling away.

"You too. Good luck in the finals!" Time replies with a smile.

"Yeah, but I'm not sure how well I'll do against Twilight. He's a little trooper, huh?" Midna chuckles. Time nods, watching Twilight give goodbye hugs and kisses to everyone. Midna watches Time, constantly giggling. Time finally notices her giggling and sends her a questioning look. "Aren't you gonna go get your goodbye kiss~?"

"H-Huh?" Time's cheeks go red.

"C'mon, it's almost the end of the season! Stop pretending like you're still straight!" Midna rolls her eyes. "Now if you don't confess your love for Twilight before he goes, I promise I will hit you."

"B-But..."

"Go!"

Midna shoves Time towards Twilight. Twilight notices Time, beaming with joy at the sight of him. "Time~!" Twilight squeals.

The two embrace in a tight hug. They stay there in each other's arms for a while, enjoying the moment.

"H-Hey... Twi... There's uh... Something I guess I should tell you before you go back..." Time mumbles, pulling back.

"HEY! C'MON PEOPLE! WE DON'T HAVE ALL DAY!" Shadow shouts from the boat. Twilight ignores him.

"Tell me! Tell me!" Twilight edges Time on, poking at his shoulder.

"W-Well... Uh... I mean... It's sort of like..." Time stumbles over his words. Twilight waits patiently with a smile. Time presses his lips together. He can't do it. "Um... Just... Good luck, I guess."

"Oh, thanks!" Twilight giggles, hugging Time again.

"And, uh, don't lose hope again, alright?" Time adds with a soft smile.

"Hope?! Did someone say hope?!" Nagito suddenly appears out of the blue.

"AH!" Time and Twilight scream, clinging onto each other.

"F*beep*-ing Nagito! Get out of here! You're not even in the right universe!" Shadow shouts from the boat.

"Whoops." And with that, Nagito disappears again.

"Okay, well, I'm gonna go." Twilight returns his focus to Time. "See you!"

Twilight smiles cutely at him and skips off with Mr. Fluffykins following him close behind. Time watches him go with a sad gaze. Midna passes Time and whacks him on the head.

"Ow!" Time winces.

"You big wimp." Midna grumbles.

Midna, The Random-Floating-Pot-That-Attacks-You-But-Leaves-A-Heart-So-There's-Really-No-Point, Twilight, and Vio board the ship. Tetra approaches Time's side as they wave, watching the boat sail off into the horizon.

"Y'know, you should tell him at some point." Tetra says. "Even if he rejects you, it really takes the weight off your shoulders. I should know."

"...Yeah."

Everyone starts to leave the dock, returning to their day, but Time and Tetra... They stay there at the dock the longest.

WEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HOLY CHICKEN FEET THAT EPISODE TOOK WAAAAAAAAY LONGER THAN EXPECTED

I tried so many times after NaNoWriMo to sit down and write this chapter, but everyday I literally wrote just one word. It was only like two days ago that I sat down and actually finished it. :/

Oh, for those who don't know who Nagito is, he's a character from Super Dangan Ronpa 2. I freaking love him. And I hope someone out there reading this gets the bagel joke X3 I was debating whether I should throw him in or not, and I thought, "What the heck? I'm gonna write him in!" Soooooooooooo yeah, my baby Nagito got to appear :3

OKAY BUT GUYS THERES ONLY ONE EPISODE LEFT HOLY FISH POTATOES

I don't even know what to do for this finale. I'm thinking giving the final three a series of challenges in a row or something. So, if you have any ideas or requests for the last episode, now's the time to send 'em in! :)

Thank you so much you guys for being patient! I realize that my laziness was unacceptable. Hopefully the next update won't take too long...

I love you all so much, I can't believe this journey is almost coming to a close... It's nuts... Two years ago I started this story. Damn son. I'm really bad at committing to things, so it's really surprising that I'm actually going to finish a long story like this. I don't even know what to say. I'm like, kinda sorta tearing up right now. Goddamnit. Thank goodness you can't see my face DX But anywhales, whether you've stuck with me the whole two years or you've just started reading this story recently, thank you so so so so so so so so so much! You're all wonderful!

See ya at the finale~

Lots of hugs!

-Dino
