Chris McClean stood in a bustling studio.

"Hello, my lovely viewers," he greeted with a grin. "As you probably noticed, we're not in the site of Total Drama City anymore. You see, we've decided that the final six deserve a break. We don't want them to die from exhaustion after all; if they're going to die it has to be something explosive and dramatic. So, instead we'll be checking in with the ten losers of the season. Heather, being the pitiful hostess she is, couldn't keep the aftermath special afloat, so we're sending them to a special resort out in the middle of nowhere. Heather will be your hostess from here on out, let's go to her now."

The camera switched to show a bus steadily progressing through a barren desert. Inside, Heather stood with a microphone.

"Hi, everyone, I'm Heather, as I'm sure you all know," she said. "Chris said that I was a pitiful hostess, but that's only because I didn't care. Now, I'm getting paid just to find out what kinds of drama is going on between the losers and build off of it. Let's start with the most recent losers, DJ's mother."

Momma DJ was at the front of the bus driving.

Heather approached her and said, "Hi, Mrs—"

"Don't talk to the driver while the bus is in motion," Momma DJ interrupted.

"Oh, because it takes so much focus to drive through a flat desert," Heather scoffed as she left.

She then spotted Gwen and Leshawna sitting in a seat up front. Gwen looked depressed while Leshawna was trying to comfort her.

"What's the matter, sugar?" she asked.

"I am just so sick of all this drama about guys," Gwen sighed. "It's like every season I get involved with another boy, can't I just get a break?"

"Honey, I think you're just over-exaggerating, Leshawana assured.

"Hey, beautiful," Duncan exclaimed as he leaned over from the seat behind them.

"See what I mean?" Gwen sighed.

"Oh just ignore him," Leshawna said.

Gwen looked down where she was surprised to see Cody underneath the seat.

"Hey beautiful," he said with a smile.

"How about now?" Gwen said.

"Yeah, I'm starting to see a problem," Leshawna agreed.

"Ooh, a problem," Heather exclaimed. "I mean…is there anything I can do to help?"

"I don't know what's made you think that you can even talk to us," Leshawna snarled. "But we don't want your help."

"Wouldn't you like to tell the viewers anything?" Heather asked.

"Maybe, but that would mean I would have to talk to you for even longer," Leshawna said. "And I definitely do not want that."

"Fine, fine, be a spoiled sport," Heather scoffed as she moved over to Eva. "Hi—"

"Just keep moving," Eva snarled as she raised her fist.

Next she came up to Katie and Brady who were making out. Beth watched them from another seat.

"It must be painful to see your boyfriend with another girl," Heather said as she sat next to Beth.

"Not really, I'm happy for both of them," Beth said with a smile. "And I've got a new super boyfriend."

"You do?" Brady asked as he pulled away from Katie.

"Yeah, Noah!" Beth exclaimed happily.

"Noah?" Brady asked shocked. "What is…will why do…how…"

"He's actually a really nice guy," Beth said. "And he's so smart. And he's an expert at World of Warcraft."

"I could do that if I wanted," Brady insisted. "I just didn't know you were into that stuff."

"Uh, Brady, can we, like, get back to making out?" Katie asked slightly annoyed.

"Just a sec, I gotta find out what makes Noah so appealing to Beth," Brady said. "Go on, Beth."

"Typical story," Heather sighed to Katie as she pulled her aside. "The boy always wants his ex back he learns that someone else got her. If you don't do something soon you may be single again. And considering how annoying you are, I'd say you'd be single for a while."

Katie looked absolutely devastated. However, before Heather could continue, the bus suddenly lurched forward. All of the former consestants were launched out of their seats. Gwen was sandwiched between two boys with Cody on the bottom and Duncan on top.

"What the hell was that?" Eva snapped as she got up.

"The road got really uneven," Momma DJ explained. "I don't think it's been used in years. Anyways, the tires couldn't take the beating. Of course, if we were in my bus this never would have happened. Lousy cheapskate McClean."

The shaky group carefully stepped off of the bus and out into the dry desert. Sure enough, the bus's wheels were incredibly beat up and didn't look like they be going any further.

"Whatever, let's just walk the rest of the way," Eva declared as she started to march off.

"Not so fast, crazyhead," Momma DJ called. "We're still miles from anywhere in both directions; and it's going to get cold fast. We're gonna have to just stay here until the network sends somebody searching for us."

"But that could take hours," Gwen complained.

Heather pulled the camera and declared, "This is perfect. Sure, I might miss out on the resort, but the contestants are going to start getting cranky and that'll lead to some wonderful drama."

Eva was still complaining to Momma DJ, "At least let us take a walk around; I need to stretch my legs."

"I agree with that," Gwen added. "I need to clear my head a bit."

"Oh alright, but get back here soon," Momma DJ said. "You don't want to miss my boiled cactus."

Eva and Gwen both took off into the sandy terrain.

"Hey Gwen, wait up," Cody called as he followed after her.

Gwen shot a quick, annoyed glance at him then kept moving.

"Gwen!" Cody called as he picked up his pace.

This didn't last long, however, and soon Cody was struggling to even take a few steps forward.

"So…hot…" he moaned as began crawling.

"You'll never win her over with that attitude," Eva scoffed as she jogged past him. "Come on, pick up the pace. Let's go, let's go."

She gave him a small, but sharp kick in the behind. Cody reluctantly got up and continued a slow walk.

"Faster, faster," Eva chanted as she jogged in place next to him.

Gwen, meanwhile, had pulled ahead and found a large rock. She collapsed against it and enjoyed the shade.

"Finally, a chance to just collect my thoughts," she sighed as she closed her eyes.

She wasn't sure how long she rest, but eventually she heard someone approaching.

"There you are, pasty," Duncan laughed as he sat down next to her.

"Duncan, did you follow me out here?" Gwen asked.

"Yeah, I got bored with the lame-o's and thought that this was the perfect chance for a little alone time with you," Duncan said.

"Do you not get the concept of being in a relationship?" Gwen scoffed. "You are dating Courtney; not me."

"Hey, she likes me 'cause I'm bad," Duncan smirked.

"Really? Because the last time you were 'bad' with me she tried to kill the both of us," Gwen pointed out. "I seriously just want to end all this crap."

Duncan didn't show any signs of leaving though. Cody had lost sight of Gwen, but Eva wasn't lightening up on him.

"Come on, keep those legs moving," she commanded. "You've barely even done ten laps."

Cody was very relieved when they finally returned to the bus and the rest of the losers. He immediately collapsed in the sand. By this point the sun was just setting. Momma DJ had set up a camper fire and was boiling some chopped cactus in it. Brady was still avidly discussing Noah with Beth.

"So, if I read more encyclopaedias, I'd be more like Noah?" Brady asked Beth.

"Well, maybe, but Noah actually memorizes encyclopaedias," Beth explained.

Katie was angrily tugging at her pigtails as she watched the two of them talk.

"He's still into her, isn't he?" Heather said as she slid up next to Katie.

"Yeah, 'cept, it's more like, he's, like, into Noah," Katie sighed.

"Really," Heather said with a tone of interest.

She pulled out a notepad and scribbled down 'Brady=gay.'

"Hey, you guys, what happened to Gwen?" Leshawna asked Eva and Cody.

"I dunno," Eva answered. "We never saw her."

"It's too dark for comfort," Leshawna said. "Some of us should probably go look for her."

"Sure, I could still use a bit more of a workout," Eva said.

"I'll go too," Cody added as he stood up slowly.

"Uh-uh, you're exhausted, hon," Leshawna said. "Stay back and rest."

"Hey, Duncan's gone too," Beth added.

"Gwen and Duncan are alone in the desert? Now this is really interesting," Heather exclaimed to the camera. "I'll go too."

"And why do you want to do that?" Leshawna asked.

"Because I care for Gwen and Duncan," Heather exclaimed as he put her hand on her heart.

"Don't think I'm not onto your little drama project," Leshawna said. "But you can come if you promise not to talk."

"Uh, I guess I could try that," Heather said uneasily.

"Zip it," Leshawna ordered.

The three took off back into the desert. Katie left behind Brady and Beth and instead helped Cody up.

"You were, like, super brave going into the desert just to see Gwen," Katie exclaimed. "And I know you'd do it again if Leshawna let you."

Cody shrugged and smiled thinly. Katie spoon out some cactus soup and fed it to Cody.

"I totally don't get why she doesn't, like, see how super-duper you are," Katie continued. "I mean, you're give your so much affection, and you've got irresistible charm."

"Heh, well, I won't deny that," Cody said with a smug grin.

Meanwhile, Leshawana, Eva, and Heather were shivering as they walked through the chilly desert. The three remained silent, until they heard the sound of a howl.

"What was that?" Heather asked nervously.

"Probably a coyote," Eva said unfazed. "But you don't need to worry about them; you need to worry about the scorpions, and insects, and everything else poisonous."

"It's not too late for you to head back," Leshawna said smugly to Heather.

"No, no, I've made a commitment," Heather declared. "And by that I mean, the commitment of finding Gwen and Duncan."

After walking a little while more, Heather decided to risk talking again.

"So, Eva, it must be tough to think that Katie ended up with Brady and not you," Heather said softly so Leshawna wouldn't hear.

"No way, I'm not playing your drama games," Eva snorted.

"There's no games," Heather promised. "I know how it feels to be unsuccessful in love. I just thought that you might want another girl to talk to."

"Well…yeah," Eva sighed. "No tricks, you swear."

"Cross my heart," Heather guaranteed.

"I've never really been that much into guys, and the feeling was mutual," Eva admitted. "And that's bothered me, I thought that I was doomed to never have a relationship. Brady seemed to actually stir something in me, but it was stupid to hope. I've never felt that way about a guy before and I doubt I will again."

"Don't worry, I understand," Heather comforted.

She then immediately pulled out her notebook and wrote down, 'Eva=gay.'

Back at the campfire, Katie and Cody had entered into deep conversation.

"…so I'd say that between Fi and Navi, Fi was more annoying," Cody explained happily. "But her design was just so awesome that it's hard to hate her."

"Uh-huh, fascinating," Katie said, yet it was clear that she was starting to lose interest.

She shot a glance at Brady who was still busy comparing himself to Noah.

"Could you define him in one trait?" Brady asked. "One thing that sets him above me."

"Brady, nobody is better than you," Beth giggled.

"Ha, I win Noah!" Brady cheered.

"No, I mean, you shouldn't have to compare yourself to others," Beth explained. "You and Noah are both special in your own ways."

"Hm," Brady said with a nod. "Is that what Noah would say?"

Beth was also getting quite a bit frustrated. She shot a glance at Katie was also currently glancing at Brady. Both girls sighed.

Back in the desert, Leshawna was starting to get tired. She had slowed down to a steady march. Heather also looked tired, but refused to slow down. Only Eva looked completely unaffected by the long trek.

"Look, there's a small cave over there," Eva exclaimed. "Maybe they took shelter there."

"Oh, this is looking so juicy," Heather exclaimed to the camera.

The two came up to the small monument of rocks.

"I hear voices," Leshawna exclaimed happily.

"Wait, wait, wait," Heather said as she stepped between Leshawna and the opening to the cave. "If we disturb them, we'll never know what they're talking about."

"But we don't care about that, right," Leshawna growled. "We're just trying to help our friends."

"Come on, don't tell me you're not a little curious," Heather prodded.

"Well…I guess," Leshawna slowly said.

"Great, I've some sound equipment, we'll be able to pick up and hear what they say," Heather declared as she started setting up a series of electronics.

"And you just happened to have this lying around?" Leshawna said skeptically.

Heather didn't answer and instead pushed the play button on the device.

"Get ready for some serious drama," Heather declared to the audience. "This could be the enter of Courtney and Duncan's relationship as we know it."

"All I'm saying is that you've made a commitment to Courtney," Gwen's voice played. "And you've got to honour that or break up with her…again."

"Whoa, I am not going through that again," Duncan's voice replied.

"Because you love her, right?" Gwen added.

There was a pause of silence, then Duncan said, "Yeah…I definitely love her. I know there's a connection between us."

"Exactly, so don't go screwing things up again," Gwen said.

"You know what? You're right, Gwen," Duncan's voice sighed.

"No, no, no!" Heather screamed as she stamped her feet. "That's not drama! Nobody wants to see people do the right thing. My project is ruined."

"What's going on out here?" Gwen asked as she and Duncan emerged.

"We were looking for you," Eva explained.

"Until Heather decided that she'd rather reveal your 'affair' to the world," Leshawna added.

"Yeah, that's right," Heather sniffed. "What are you going to do about it?"

All four of them narrowed their eyes at Heather. She quickly lost her confidence and began to panic.

"That was a rhetorical question, no need to answer," she exclaimed nervously as she back up.

She burst into a run and the four others chased after her angrily. Back at the campfire the other five were starting to doze off. They were awoken by a shrieking scream.

"What was that?" Cody exclaimed as he leapt up.

"It sounded like a coyote auditioning for an opera," Beth exclaimed.

"Poorly," Brady added.

Soon, Leshawna, Duncan, Gwen, and Eva all returned.

"Hooray, everyone who matters is safe," Katie cheered.

Once she made sure that everyone was okay she curled back up against Brady.

"Whoa, hang on," Leshawna exclaimed. "It thought for sure there'd be some of love quadrangle going on between you four."

"That's what I thought too," Beth added. "But I guess with all the drama sources out of the picture we could just resolve our issues peacefully."

"Where is Heather, anyway?" Cody asked.

"Oh don't worry about her," Duncan exclaimed.

Heather was currently pinned up on the top of a cactus. She angrily screamed at her attackers until the sun rose.

"You guys are going to pay for this!" she cried. "I have connections. I can make your life miserable. Miserable!"

Her phone started to ring and she angrily grabbed it and opened it.

"What?" she barked. "I have to do what? Fine, fine."

She closed the phone and faced the camera.

"So, there you have it, that's what the losers of this season have been up to," she concluded. "And is it any question as to why they lost? It's because they're a bunch of spoiled sport jerks. I'll get them for this…as soon as I get down."
