"How are you big guy?" Geoff said sitting next to Duncan.

"Fine."

"Do you-"

"EVERYBODY FOLLOW ME!!!" Chef yelled running into the kitchen.

"What's wrong?"Leshawna asked as the contestants all leapt up running down the hallway.

"Chris is passed out in there!" Chef pointed into a room off the main hallway of the basement.

"Wait," Owen stopped, "I'm skipping breakfast... to save Chris?" The others ran into the room, as Chef pushed Owen in, knocking over most of the contestants.

The room was dark, until a large tv screen lit up the room, "HAHAHAHAHA!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ACTUALLY FELL FOR IT!!! I MEAN, CHEF SAID YOU WOULD AND I SAID... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! NO WAY!!!! BUT...You... did... hahaha... ha. That's Awesome. Anyway," A single bulb flicked on and a click of the door locking was heard, "The door is locked and as you can see above the door is a buzzer, when you guys want out, ring the buzzer. The last person still in the room wins immunity for his or her respective team. I'll check in every now and then, enjoy your time getting closer."

"So," Noah looked around, "All we have to do is stay in a room?"

"Yeah," Gwen said, "Seems that way."

"Huh," Noah sat down and opened his book, "It's every Friday night ever in my life."

"What's Chris getting at?" Heather asked, walking around the room, "Does he expect us to like go crazy or something?"

TDH

"I'M GOING CRAZY!!!!" Owen said running around the room, "Like out of my mind crazy!!! LIKE KING GEORGE CRAZY!!!!"

"We all need to relax," Gwen said, "Come on, we've only been locked in a room for like, an hour, maybe an hour and a half."

"And I haven't eaten Breakfast!"

"Weird Goth girl's... r...ri... we haven't been in here long, settle down Owen."

"I don't know," Duncan smirked, "Owen is on the other team, I don't know if I want him to settle down."

"What are you playing at?" Heather turned.

"Well, we're trying to have one person from our team, you one from your team, we WANT the other team to go crazy, so they ring the buzzer and leave. Simple as that."

So, Duncan's a wack job, but he can strategize, even though I'm on the other team. Heather smiled deviously. We are so going to win this.

"Um, team meeting!" Heather motioned as the Mops awkwardly crammed themselves into a corner of the small room, "Listen, Duncan's right. We need to do what we can to drive those Vaccuums out of here. It'll be best if we take them on one on one," Heather turned around, "This will be too easy."

"So, that's when I pun-" Duncan neared the end of his story to Geoff and Gwen when Courtney walked over and put her hand on Duncan's thigh, "I pu-pu-punched him in the... Uh, Princess, do you know what you're doing?"

"Yes," Courtney looked right into Duncan's eyes. I know exactly what I'm doing.

"Duncan, tell this witch to get lost!" Gwen said angrily, crossing her arms and standing up.

"Who're you calling a witch?" Courtney said standing up crossing her arms.

"Duncan, tell her to leave..." Gwen pointed towards the buzzer, "Or I leave."

Told you I know what I'm doing.

"Can't we just get along?" Duncan said shifting back and forth between the two girls, "Maybe ki- No, I shouldn't even joke about that."

"That's an answer enough for me," Gwen pressed the buzzer and Chef opened the door.

"WAIT UP!" Trent said running across the room and out the door.

Okay, in hindsight... that was not the BEST strategy, but Gwen's worth it.

The TV flicked on, "So that leaves four Mops and four Vaccuums. After two hours, Hey Chef? How's the lobster cooking?" The screen then went black.

"Lobster?" Owen looked up from the piece of floor board he had broken off and had been licking for the last few minutes.

Lobster is delicious... a whole #$%% of a lot better than floor board. Now I have splinters on my tongue.

"I wonder if I leave... Chris would give me lobster, right?"

"No." Heather said, "You will stay right there!"

"Princess," Duncan said as Courtney sat next to him, "What was-"

"What do you think you're doing, Mowhawk?" Noah walked up to the two.

"Nothing," Duncan stood up, "You're crazy wench just chased off my Girlfriend!"

"Crazy wench?"

Noah pushed Duncan, or at least he tried to push Duncan. Duncan sneered and grabbed Noah, carried him to the buzzer and pressed Noah's hand on the button. Chef swung the door open, "Which one of you pushed the button?"

"He did," Courtney said pointing at Noah.

"Courtney?" Noah said, "How-" The door slammed shut.

TDH

"7 hours in, Owen, how hungry are you?" Chris said from the screen.

"Very Hungry," Owen said, "No, don't tell them how hungry we are. Yes, we should tell them, they're our friends. No they-"

"There's a hamburger right ouside the door," Chris smiled.

"Really?!?!" Owen got up and began hitting the buzzer as hard as he could, "OPEN THE DOOR!!!"

The door Opened and Owen ran out into the hallway, "There's no-" The door slammed and Owen's screams could be heard as he was apparently being drug down the hallway.

"Another thing Cef said would work... maybe I shopuld start listening to him more." The screen went black.

"So, there's only six of us now?" Bridgette said looking away from Geoff.

"How long have you two been here?" Leshawna said looking over in suprise.

"As long as you guys," Geoff looked at Duncan, "I observed your problem with the mamasitas..." Courtney glared at Geoff, "And you totally should... screw it." He went back to making out with Bridgette.

"So... want to make out?" Duncan smiled at Courtney.

"No."

YES!!! I REALLY REALLY DO!!! Why do I keep forgetting these get televised?

"Come on!"

"No."

"Fine."

Suddenly there was ice cream truck music whoosing past the house., and Geoff leapt up, "No, baby." Bridgette said, putting her face in her hands, "There's not actually an ice cream-"

"ICE CREAM!" Geoff ran to the door and pressed the buzzer, "Come on Bridge, I'm buying!"

"Fine," Bridgette laughed as the pair walked out the door.

"No," Heather yelled at the two as they left, "I forbid you to go!"

"Oh well," Bridgette said as she shut the door, "Geoff, what did you see in her?"

"I really don't know."

"And no we're down to four, Duncan, Courtney, Heather, and Leshawna. Are you guys doing okay, because dinner is about to be served, and it smells De-to the- licious," Chris taunted from the screen, "No? No one wants to leave? Suit yourselves."

TDH

Duncan sprawled out on the floor, resting his head on Courtney's leg, she slowly stroked his head, "You so want me," he laughed.

"I do not!"

Suddenly water began pouring from the ceiling, drenching the students.

"So, at Dinner I decided to turn on the anti-fire system. How're feeling now? Anyone want out?" Heather and Leshawna got up and buzzed the buzzer.

"Where are you going?" Duncan said to Leshawna.

"This hair does not mix with water, know what I'm saying?"

"What about you?" Courtney glared at Heather?

"I hate being wet, you have no idea," Heather walked to the open door, "After me." Leshawna glared as they both left.

"And then there were two," Chris smiled as the screen flicked to black.

"You so want me."

TDH

"I'm not going to let you beat me," Courtney said walking around the room, "I can stay in a small room for hours, maybe even days!"

"Once I spent two months in solitary," Duncan sneered, "Game on, Princess."

"Stop calling me that," Courtney said sitting down, next to Duncan, "We're not together anymore."

"And who's fault is that?" Duncan smiled, making Courtney blush a little.

"If I remember," She finally said, "It was yours when you tricked me and embarrassed me on national television."

"Oh... yeah," Duncan looked down, "But technically you dumped me so... it would be your fault."

"Well, some one likes pointing fingers," Courtney laughed, "Just because I dumped you doesn't make it any less your fault. You did give me the reason to."

"Do you ever think we made a mistake seperating?"

"Maybe," Courtney pulled her knees up and rested her head on Duncan's shoulder, "sometimes more than others, but then I think about when you did me wrong."

"I'm going to stand up for a second, okay?" Duncan said, Courtney knodded and sat up, "What for?"

Duncan kissed her on the forehead and walked over and hit the buzzer. Chef opened the door and looked over at Courtney, "Congrats Crazy, you just won the challenge."

"Wow, did not see that coming, Congratulations Courtney, you just won the challenge for the Mops. As your reward, not only are the Mops immune, the MOPS get to vote a player of the Vaccuums off. The rest of your team is in the living room to vote, go down and join them. Duncan your team is by the fire pit, go join them."

TDH

"Yo, yo, yo Vaccuums, two straight weeks being in here, must suck doesn't it?" Chris looked around at the faces, "Well, it seems like it does suck. Anyways, I have four keys, and there are five contestants before me... the odds are not good for one of you. Keys go to Noah, Gwen, and Geoff. Leshawna and Duncan, ironically the last two in the room, or maybe that's no ironic... the last key goes to... Duncan!"

So, just because I convinced my team not to vote off Duncan, doesn't mean I like him... because I don't.

And then there were 9, yes only nine, with Leshawna's departure the Vaccuums have lost two straight and are now have less players. Who will win next week? What will Duncan's team say about him tossing a challenge? Can ANYONE actually win in one of these games? Find out next time on Total. DRAMA. HHHHOOOOUUUUSSSSEEEE!!!!!
