Author's Note: It's a day late, but it's here. I'm not sue about the pacing, but I honestly can't rewrite this anymore. Today the Final Six become the Final Five, and I also posted a new episode of All-Stars 2.
Disclaimer: I totally don't own Total Drama (If I did, I probaby wouldn't change anything.), the characters (except for Kitsune, Malcolm, and Victor), or the shuffled idea.
Now to answer reviews!
acosta perez jose ramiro: Again, thanks! Yeah, for a villain, Al's position just has never been that great. I think that goes with having a smarter cast. But I'm glad you like Malcolm's departure, I was little unsure about it. A Sammy fan? I expect that there would be quite a few, especially given my desicion to give her a little backbone.
DinoKea: Thank you so much for the praise! I'll take the part about my characters to mean that you're rooting for Kitsune. All three in two days? Impressive. I hope you like this chapter
Remaining Campers:
Boys: Alejandro, Noah, Trent
Girls: Kitsune, Sammy, Zoey
EP 21: Trial by Tri-Armed Triathalon
"Last time on Total Drama Island," Chris said on the dock as usual. "The campers got sent out on Safari," the recap showed a clip of the seven teens in their traps. "They made like they were zookeepers," clips ofZoey and Noah successfully getting their animals were shown. "Although," Kitsune was shown being tricked by the frog, "some of them might wanna look at other careers," was said over a clip of Malcolm running from a bear. "Alejandro tried to form an alliance with Malcolm," a clip of the charmer talking to the pain magnet, "then did a buch of things that didn't really help his case," This was said over clips of him stealing Malcolm's tranq gun and later shooting him with it. "In the end, Malcolm became the first person on Total Drama to quit the competition." The pain magnet was shown explaining his reason for quitting. "This week our remaining six campers get waaay too close for comfort." The recap ended and the shot cut back to Chris walking down the dock. "Will Noah and Kitsune's alliance finally fall apart? Will Alejandro avoid the Boat of Losers yet again? And who will be voted off in the most dramatic bonfire ceremony yet? Find out tonight, on Total... Drama... Island!"

(As the opening theme begins, various cameras pop up and displace wildlife in the process. A cue card marks the transition to a moving camera flying past Chris as the lyrics start.)
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine
(The camrea flies up to the 1000 ft high and peers over the edge)
You guys are on my mind
(The camera jumps from the cliff under the water; Sugar swims through the water in a bikini and farts. The gas blows behind her and kills a fish.)
You asked me what I wanted to be
And now I think the answer is plain to see
(On the surface, Gwen and Trent are floating by in a canoe. The latter playing guitar to the former. Both have smiles on their face that turned into wide-eyed disgust as the dead fish surfaces; a bird swoops down and grabs the fish.)
I wanna be famous
(The bird flies off into the sun and drops the fish. The camera pans down to a clearing where Malcolm is sitting peacefully. The fish falls in his hands and he looks confused, then scared as he runs off-screen and a trio of bears runs after him. The camera pans out to show Duncan laughing at the scene, and once again to show Sky watching in concern.)
I wanna live close to the sun
(The camera zooms to another part of the camp, where Amy and Sammy are arguing in a canoe and don't notice the waterfall until they fall over the edge.)
Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won
(The camera pans further down the waterfall, where DJ is standing on a log suspended on two rocks. He looks off-screen and his eye widen as he tries to run away, but he doesn't manage to outrun what turns out to be Tyler swinging on a vine. The two collide and both fly off to the left.)
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
(The camera fallows DJ and Tyler as they fly through the camp and eventually slam into the outhouse. Leshawna, who was walking toward it, is knocked down as the collision forces the door open. The camera pans to the main lodge and Chef's silhouette is visible in the window.)
I'll get there one day
(The camera moves in past the window to where Chef has his arm in a large pot of something that is unnaturally green with a disturbing smirk. He looks behind him where he has Harold and Scarlett tied up; the redheaded twins share a nervous glance.)
'Cause I wanna be famous
(The camera pans left to where Noah is trying to read with an annoyed expression as Staci gabs to him. The camera zooms out of another window to the edge of the docks, where Heather is sitting and glaring at something to the right. The camera pans to the right to show she was glaring at Alejandro, who smirks and winks at her.)
Na nananana nanananana nananananana
(A pan to the right shows Shawn nervously glancing around until a zombie walks on screen to scare him off. The zombie then takes off its mask to reveal Kitsune, who giggles to herself.)
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
(The camera pans right again, to the end of the docks. Victor waves at the camera and bows.)
I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be famous
(Water splashes down on the teen, he looks up to see Chris in a helicopter with a bucket of water. The host flashes a smile and the gleam becomes one of many stars in the night sky. The camera pans down to where Mike and Zoey are sitting by a campfire and leaning in for a kiss but they're interrupted when a fedora lands on Mike's head. He inhales and takes on a smug look and Zoey's face falls into one of annoyance. The camera pans out one last time to show all the campers sitting around the campfire and whistling the last few of the theme song.)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The episode started with a shot of the two cabins. The camera zoomed in on the girl's cabin and faded to a shot of Kitsune sleeping, and not very peacefully. She groaned and shook as the scene faded to the roof of a skyscraper at night. A shadowy figure jumped down and stood up, reveling itself to be Kitsune. She was wearing orange pants and a yellow shirt with a fox symbol and a black mask, all spandex.
"He's out here," she said via voice over. "I know it." A sound from street level caught her attention and she jumped down, strangely enough landing in the middle of a forrest. A familiar figure wearing a puffy V-neck shirt, a Guy Fawkes mask, and carrying a rapier greeted her.
"The Fantastic Fox," the figure greeted in a very familiar and mocking voice.
"The Charmer," 'Kitsune' replied. "Your reigh of terror ends here!" She yelled as she jumped foward to attack, The Charmer simply side-stepped to avoid her and she demolished a stone pillar that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
"I'm afraid you'll have to do better than that," he mocked and she attacked again. He side stepped again and she demolished another stone pillar. This process repeated itself a few more times before she finally stopped. "Oh Faith," he said and she gasped at the use of her real name. "When will you learn? You'll never beat me. You can only become me."
"I am nothing like you," she spat at him. "All you care about is getting rid of people."
He smirked, although unseen throught he mask. "And all you care about you get rid of," he countered.
She looked around and to her dismay, saw the pillars looked like several of the previously eliminated campers. The camera shifted to her view point as she took in the crumbled remains of stone Heather and Victor. Duncan, Lehawna and Mike. Gwen and Malcolm, and finally, an almost destroyed stone Noah. The camera returned to its side view as Kitsune fell to her knees with an anguished cry of "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" before a shout of "Shut up I'm tying to sleep!" snapped the shot back to her sleeping in the cabin, the sounds of a helicopter being heard. She shot up with a gasp and said, "Sorry Zoey."
The commando replied, "Not you," rudely before pointing out of the window. "Him."
The shot cut to the boy's cabin, where the three of them were all looking up with a mixture of confusion and annoyance. "Is it too much to ask that we get a normal wake-up?" Alejandro asked.
"Yes," Trent said curtly.
The camera cut to Chris in a helicopter. "Welcome back to Total Drama Island!" He announced over the blades. "Over the past six weeks, we've watched sixteen campers push themselves to the limit, only to get their butts kicked off the island by their fellow campers. Sucks to be you," He begn to list the campers kicked of and a short clip of them accompanied the names. "Sugar," she opened her mouth to begin to sing, "Staci," she told off Sky, "Tyler," he widly spun before launching a dodgeball, "Heather," she read from Gwen's diary, "Amy," she yelled at her sister, "Shawn," he looked at his blueprints, "Victor," he jumped in the way of a dodgeball headed for Sky, "Malcolm," he was thrown off the diving cliff by DJ, "Sky," she let out a huge belch, "Scarlett," she was hit with a crabapple, "Duncan," he offered Harold some 'juice', "Harold," he jumped off the dock, "Leshawna," she tossed Noah into the freezer, "Mike," he inhaled, "Gwen," she was twicthing after the music torture, "Amy again," she was being yelled at by her sister, "DJ," he was scoffing in the confessional, "And Malcolm again," he was laying fish out in a trail.
The shot skipped ahead to the host walking away from the copter. "Only six campers remain," he said. "And after six weeks of bugs, crappy camp food, and even nastier bathrooms, our six finalists are about this close to losin' it." he held two fingers close together. "We found a bunch of ways to help the campers destress," he held up a pair of handcuffs, "but then decided it'd be way more fun to cuff'em together and see if we couldn't puch'em over the edge."
"Did Duncan send Kitsune a gift from home?" Alejandro asked.
The fox lover scowled. "At least I have someone to send me gifts," she shot back.
Chris ignored the exchange, "It's all in the name of today's challenge. The Tri-Armed Triathalon."
"Tri-armed?" Sammy asked. "Like, three of them?"
"Yes," the host answered with a smile. "Three challenges, three teams of two, three arms per team."
"Perfect," Noah said sarcastically. "I've always wanted to be a part of a chain gang."
Chris ignored him and continued, "winning team members both get invincibility from tonight's vote."
XXXX
"It's been a long six weeks," Sammy confessed with a dejected look. "But the worst part is that I'm the only one that hasn't become obsessed with the game. Alejandro won't stop trying to get me in an alliance, Kitsune has become obessed with getting rid of him. Trent and Zoey are seriously scaring me, and all Noah does is avoid everyone and make rude comments. I mean I wanna win too, but do we have to be so horrible to do it?"
XXXX
"Making it this far is nice," Trent told the outhouse camera. "But I just can't stop thinking about what Malcolm said after he quit. If he was telling the truth, the Al's been playing me since day one. If he's not... but why would he lie? More importantly what would Al have to gain from booting Gwen?" He grabbed his head. "Man I don't know what to think anymore."
XXXX
The next confessional was Zoey, who was sharpening an arrow as she beared her thoughts. "The Final Six?" she asked. "That's not a milestone. Call me if I win the money. When I win the money,'' she corrected.
XXXX
Kitsune was next. "First, I wanna give a quick shout-out to my two besties back home! Don't worry about not making the cut for the show guys, this place is insane. Despite the... disturbing dream I just had, I'm feeling really good about my chances. I mean, I've only got five more campers to go. And the best part? Al doesn't have a leg to stand on anymore."
XXXX
"I'm actually kinda upset over Wile E. quitting the other day," Noah confessed. "I don't think Zoey's gonna be on our side too much longer. Heck, I don't even think me and Foxtrot'll be together too much longer. The pressure's on and unlike practically everyone else here, I'm doing a pretty good job of keeping my wits about me."
XXXX
The shot cut to the main lodge, where Zoey and Trent were cuffed together. The camera panned to the left to show the other two teams, Alejandro and Kitsune and Noah and Sammy, were glancing at their own cuffs with annoyance and warryness respectively.
"First of our three challenges," the host said as the sot pulled back to include him, "competetive chow down!"
"Oh, is that all?" Kitsune asked, the camera focusing on her and the charmer.
"I wouldn't get too confident if I were you," her partner warned. "With Chris we can always expect some twist."
The shot focused on Chris. "Each team will have a feeder, and an eater." The camera showed each team looking thoughtful as the roles were announced. "The eater must put both hands behind their back making it even more difficult for the feeder. One last thing. This," he held up a gold key with a decorative skull, "is the wimp key." The shot cut to a pair of hancuffs against an orange and yellow background as the host continued, "A skeleton key that will open any handcuffs." The key tapped the cuffs and they opened.
"You'll be offered a chance to take the key before any challenge," Alejandro and Kitsune were both shown looking at the cuffs with a smile as Chris explained. "But, if you accept it, you'll both be eliminated."
"Enough of that," Zoey spat. "How do we win this?"
"Chef's getting platters for each team," the host explained. "Title goes to whoever finishes their platter of delicacies fastest."
The shot focused on Trent and Zoey. "Don't worry," the commando said in a mocking tone. "I'll eat so you don't have to upset your weak wittle stomach," she continued in the voice one would use to talk to a baby. Trent glared.
Further down Kitsune had overheard the exchange and looked at her partner. "So, she has a point," she said. "I should probably be the eater."
"For once, the charmer replied, "you'll recieve no arguments from me."
The camera cut to Noah and Sammy. "So..." the cheerleader said awkwardly.
"Because I won the last eating challenge, I should do this one?" Noah finished for her.
"Weeeeellllll..." was all Sammy could say.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The scene skipped ahead to Chef placing trays of food on the table in front of the teams. Each with four item: a cake with covered in red sauce, something topped with tiny fruits, a bowl of something orange, and a green roasted chicken.
"Why is it green?" Kitsune asked in near panic.
"I don't know," Alejandro replied with barely contained amusement. "But I have a feeling I will enjoy this." The fox lover pulled her hands behind her back with enough force to pull her partner off his feet.
"And I enjoyed that," she told him with a smirk.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The scene skipped ahead to Trent quickly shoveling food into Zoey's mouth. "Gim me 'ime a you," she said through the food and spoon.
"Do you wanna win or what?" Trent shot at her.
Noah and Sammy were having a much easier time, but were going considerably slower.
"I don't think we're gonna win this one," the cheerleader commented.
"Nope," Noah seconded.
"Speed up," Kitsune said as the camera cut to them.
"The goal is to get food in your mouth, not on the floor."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The shot cut back to Trent and Zoey, both covered with stains that for some reason didn't match the color of the food. "Woah, dow!" Zoey yelled with her mouth full of food.
It cut to Sammy and Noah, simply going at their glacial pace.
The camera panned to the charmer and goofball. "This is getting tiresome," he said. "Take a deep breath."
"Wait," the fox lover said. "What?" He grabbed her head and shoved her face into the tray of food, ignoring her grunts of protest.
(Fade to commercial)
The episode resumed with a shot of the main lodge. "The winners are," Chris said as the camera cut to him inside, "Alejandro and Kitsune!"
The camera focused on the two teens, Kitsune covered in stains glaring at her partner. "Don't be like that," he told her. "We won." She just scoffed.
XXXX
Kitsune was in the outhouse aggressively wiping her headband with a tissue. "I could've gone with out the swim lesson Al," she spat. "Do you know how long it's gonna take to clean my ears?"
XXXX
"To all the campers who were burned by my," Alejandro paused as he thought of a word, "fluid loyalties, I want you to know that if there was a way for me to get where I am without betraying you, I would have. And to the vast majority of you who weren't, I'd ask you who deserves to win, someone who worked their way to the finals, or the other five who merely stumbled upon it?" He ended his confessional with a charming grin.
XXXX
The scene cut to Noah and Sammy, the bookworm looking extremely queasy. "Well," the cheerleader started. "At least we can still win the other two."
Noah's cheeks bulged and he promptly threw up on the floor, to Sammy's disgust. "It's," she said quietly. "It's in my shoes.
XXXX
Both teens were in the confessional, Noah with a sheepish look on his face. "Hey, I'm really sorry about that."
"It's ok," she said, seemingly recovered. "I live with Amy so that's not the worst thing I've ever had in my shoes."
"Do I wanna ask?"
She sighed and slumped over. "Please don't."
XXXX
The static transitioned to the wimp key being waved around by Chris. The camera zoomed out as he said, "Last chance for the wimp key before part two."
Trent and Zoey glared at each other. "Try it," the both said.
"So," Kitsune started. "We don't exactly make a good team so..."
"As much as I would love to," Alejandro replied, "I'm not giving up a shot at immunity."
XXXX
Kitsune shrugged. "Can't blame a gal for trying."
XXXX
"And the challenge is..." Noah asked.
"On the beach you will find three canoes," the camera panned to the boats in question then back to Chris. "One for each team. Your challenge is to paddle each canoe, while wearing handcuffs," he paused to chuckle, "all the way to Boney Island." The camera panned to a shot of the skull cliffed Island and back to the host. " Once there, you will open a package that is waiting for you. Go!"
It was at that moment he realized he should've gotten out of the way, as the six teen ran him over.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I'm riding up front!" Zoey called as the two made the canoe.
"Not if you paddle like you eat," Trent countered.
"Well if you paddle like you feed we'll lose for sure!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Noah and Sammy were shown pushing their canoe into the water. Noah boarded it first and Sammy got in a moment later.
The scene cut to Kitsune and Alejandro. "So, are those muscles actually good for anything besides distracting girls?"
The charmer let out a bitter laugh. "If that's your best attempt at flattery, then it will get you nowhere."
The shot panned out to show the goofball already in the canoe. "And neither will I," she said. "So hop to it Al." His eye twitched but he complied.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The shot skipped ahead to show Noah and Sammy in their canoe. "Out of curiosity," Noah said, "what exactly would you do with the money if you won?"
The cheerleader blinked in surprise. "I don't really know," she said honestly. "I'm still not sure I even will win."
"Neither am I," he admitted. "It's the Final Six, I can't stay under people's radar forever. Especially if I'm still allied with Foxtrot."
"Oh, that's why you spend so much time alone!" She said in realization. "I thought it was because you like secretly hated everyone here."
"No, there are some people I'll be glad to never see again," he told her. "Like your sister, but I don't really have an opinion one way or the other for most."
"That makes sense," she said, then added under her breath, "I guess."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The shot cut to Trent and Zoey, who as usual were arguing.
"You know, you can't be a soldier if you're freaking insane," Trent told his partner.
"Well, you can't be a musician if you don't write your own songs," she shot back.
"Hey!" He objected. "I've written two and a half songs since I got here."
"So impressive," she mocked. "There's the beach."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The scene skipped ahead to the six teens on a beach, each team with a backpack. Zoey and Trent opened their pack and gasped in shock when the musician pulled out a piece of the cursed idol.
The camera cut to Chris in a helicopter in the sky. "Welcome to the second part of the second challenge!" He announced in a megaphone. The shot flashed back to the previous Boney Island challenge as he continued, "Back in episode eight, Kitsune here stole the Boney Island tiki doll."
The flashback ended and the scene cut to the girl in question. "Wait a minute!" She yelled in offense. "I returned that thing!"
"We know," Chris said, the camera back on him. "But we needed something to make the challenge more fun for us. The pieces in those bags have to be put back in the Cave," the shot cut to the entrance of a dark cave, "of Treacherous Terror." it flashed back to Chris. "And you'll wanna do it double quick, because the longer you have the doll, the worse your luck."
The camera cut back to the beach. "Oh yeah!" the host added. "One of you has to piggyback the other. Enjoy!" He said as he flew off.
"Hop on chica," Alejandro said to his partner. The goofball smirked, then jumped on his back with more force than needed, knocking him to the ground.
"Giddy-up Ale-horse-bro," she giggled. He groaned in frustration and started off.
Zoey looked at her partner expectedly. "What?" he asked.
"I did the work last challenge," she said bitterly. "It's your turn."
"You were the one who wanted to do the work this time," he countered. "So you do it."
The shot cut to Noah and Sammy as the others continued to argue. "So, how do we play this?" he asked.
"I'm on the bottom of the pyramid on the squad back home," she told him as she lowered herself for him to get on. "We're good."
Noah smiled. "Nice."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The scene skipped ahead to Trent and Zoey in the woods. He dumped her on the forest floor and turned around. "What is your problem?" she asked bitterly.
"You voted out Gwen," he told her. "That's my problem. I'm not stopping until everyone that voted for her is gone. I thought you'd understand given what happened to Mike."
"You mean when you voted him off?" She snarked. "No, I'm here to win, and I need a partner that won't throw a challenge just to spite me."
"Too bad," he replied smugly. "I need a partner that didn't vote for my girlfriend."
"So you're just gonna sit there and lose to vote me out?" She asked with her hands on her hips.
"Nope," he said simply. Zoey growled in frustration. "I just wanted you to know why you won't last too much longer."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The scene cut to the edge of the cave. Alejandro and Kitsune trudged to the cave, only to be chased away by a group of woolly beavers.
The next team to show up was Zoey actually dragging Trent to the cave. She was about to walk in when a piece of the idol flew over her head into the cave. "Where did that come from?" Trent asked.
"Oh, now you care?" Zoey spat.
The camera panned back to Noah and Sammy, both smiling at each other.
XXXX
The camera was focused unusually close to Sammy's face when she said, "Noah's actually pretty cool. If I do lose I hope it's to him."
The camera zoomed out to show her partner in the confessional with her. "Same here."
XXXX
The static transitioned to a shot of Chris. "And that's a point for the Noah and Samey dream team!" He announced. The shot briefly cut to them as they shared a high-five behind a table of something under a purple sheet. It cut back to the host as he talked. "Been a heck of a day: moldy food fights, carnivorous beavers. But, it's time for someone to win this thing." He walked over to Alejandro and Kitsune behind a similar table. "Point each to everyone but Trent and Zoey who, could still pull out a win." The camera panned to the two in question as the glared at each other. "Today's final challenge is," he pulled the sheet to reveal a bunch of familiar heads.
Kitsune gasped in surprise and Alejandro chuckled. "No need for that. It's simply Amy." He looked down, "Although two of them is a frightening image."
"The Totem Pole of Shame and Humiliation," Chris announced as the shot cut to a finished totem pole with Malcolm on top and Sugar on the bottom. "Your task? Assemble the heads in the order your comrades were voted out." The shot cut back to him. "Unless," he held up the key, "you want the wimp key! Time for heads to roll." He blew a whistle to start the challenge.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The scene skipped ahead to Alejandro and Kitsune. They had only done up to the fourth elimination. "Heather's next," the fox lover said. "She called me crazy and then tried to get me to vote with her."
"Ah Heather," the charmer said admiring the queen bee's carving. "I appreciated your devious mind, but you were poor at choosing your targets."
"Wait," she said. "You mean-"
"I knew of her plan to save her own skin," he admitted. "I also knew she was targeting me."
"Yeah, I wish I had sided against you though," she admitted.
"Yes, I feel the same about the cooking challenge."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The shot cut to Noah and Sammy having an easier time of things. "Amy was next," Sammy said putting her sister's head on the totem pole. "Then Shawn."
Noah added, "Then Wadsworth, Wile E., and Sky."
"Then Scarlett, Duncan and Harold," Sammy finished. "Are we at the merge already?"
"Let's see what our most argumentative team is up to?" Chris said walking to Trent and Zoey. He saw the cool guy hunched over and sniffling. "Dude, are you crying?"
Trent turned around and had Gwen's head in his hands. "Shut up man! What we had was special."
Chris just started laughing. "Man that's the saddest thing I've heard all season. I guess Mr. Cool ain't so cool-" He was interrupted by an Amy head hitting him in the face.
Trent looked to his partner with an inquisitive expression. "I felt the same way when I saw Mike's," Zoey admitted sounding like she did before her commando-ization.
The musician smiled. "So, you wanna try and finish this?" He asked.
The camera panned to Alejandro and Kitsune. "Ah Duncan," the charmer said condescendingly. "One of my prouder achievements."
"We're not there yet," Kitsune said irately.
"I know, but I must admire my handiwork. Convince the Bass to vote off their strongest player and get a favor out of it?"
"Yeah, and the fact that we just hooked up had nothing to do with it," she added sarcastically. "I heard your confessional."
His eyes widened in surprise, but he recovered. "No matter, I would have likely done it anyway. He clearly had the skills to make the Final Four at least. Nothing personal."
"Except it is personal," she shot back. "Because these are people that you're messing with."
"And is it any different when you do it?" He asked smugly. "Like with Leshawna?"
"I voted for her because she was causing trouble for my friends. You're the one that tacked on your votes."
"All the better to set you up to take the fall for my actions. After all you made it quite easy."
"And you just gave me reason to get the wimp key," she shot back. "Chris!" She yelled as she started pulling the charmer.
"No!" he protested. "Wait!"
"We have a wiener!" Chris announced grabbing their attention. "No-amey and Same-oah take it." The camera cut to the dazed host holding a hand of each of the winners. "They've got invincibility tonight so you can't vote for'em." He passed out.
"We make a great team," Sammy said.
"Yeah," he agreed. "I guess we do."
XXXX
The outhouse camera focused primarily on Kitsune's face. "There are very few people in this world I truly hate. But Ale-jerk-dro makes the top of that list. He is without a doubt the biggest-" The rest of her sentence was censored, "I ever met! Sorry, I couldn't wait to get that off my chest." The camera panned out to show Alejandro was in there with her.
"As I said, nothing personal. But I do want you to think on what I said." She frowned at him.
XXXX
The scene skipped ahead to the elimination ceremony. "You've all cast your votes and made your decisions," Chris said to the campers. "Whoever doesn't receive a marshmallow must walk the Dock of Shame to catch the Boat of Losers. That means you are out of the contest. And you can't come back. Ever. The first marshmallow goes to... Samey."
"Noah."
"Three marshmallows but only four campers. The next one goes to.. Kitsune.
"Alejandro."
Trent and Zoey both looked at the lone marshmallow with fear. "That's one surefire way to take a smile off a camper's face. Show them a plate with exactly one marshmallow."
XXXX
"Recent developments aside," Alejandro said in his confessional. "I see no reason to let you get any further. And it seems there are others who agree with me."
XXXX
"Don't think I've gone and sided with Al," Kitsune said with crossed arms. "I just know that I'm not exactly the most popular person around and you are, that we can vote for at least. Plus you've been getting on my nerves."
XXXX
"I'm really sorry," Sammy said apologetically. "But you've been really scary lately."
XXXX
"Eh," Noah shrugged. "Why not?"
XXXX
"We're left with just one marshmallow," Chris said to the campers. "And either Trent or Zoey is about to go home."
"Just get it over with," Zoey said, much more irritated than before.
"Fine, spoil the moment," Chris said. "The last marshmallow goes to... Zoey. Trent, time for you to go bro."
"What?" The boy said in shock. He turned to the others and added, "But how?"
Alejandro shrugged. "It appears Kitsune wanted you gone," he said.
"Don't play that (bleep) with me," the goofball shouted. "Voting him off was your idea!"
"But-" Trent said weakly. "I thought we were on the same side."
"That's what we've been trying to tell you," the goofball said. "He's only on his own side."
"So what Malcolm said-"
"True amigo. I meant nothing personal. And you've become more of a hindrance than an ally."
Trent sighed and stood up. "Well then," he said slowly walking to the charmer. "That's," he said as he punched Alejandro in the face, "for Gwen!" He walked off to the Dock of Shame.
"Well," Kitsune said with a mocking smirk Alejandro's way. "That went better than I expected."
The scene cut to a long distance shot of the island as the laughter of Kitsune, Zoey, Sammy, and Noah was heard.
Author's Note Post Script: And thus ends Trent's run at the hundred grand. I'll admit I didn't quite develop him in the way I wanted, but I hope the basic sentiment got through: Gwen's departure made hin unhinged and unpredictable. There was supposed to be some scenes where he blows up at everyone and making the decision to boot him less out of nowhere. Sorry to his fans, I think this was more of a disappointment then his canon elimination.
The teams were easy, but had the opposite effect than I expected. Alejandro and Kitsune for what I hope are obvious reasons, Trent and Zoey for the argumentative pair, and Noah and Sammy left over. I thought Noah and Sammy would be hard to write, but once I came up with them getting along it just fit.
Noah winning twice in a row. The original plan was for Alejandro and Kitsune to win and him convincing the others to boot Trent because he'd get the most sympathy votes, but Sammy was the flaw in that plan. So the biggest final vote threat gets immune and the guy who could get along with pretty much anyone goes home.
Now we have the Final Five: Alejandro, Kitsune, Noah, Sammy and Zoey. Who are you rooting for? Who do you think will go next? Let me know in the reviews, please.
Probably not the best, but hopefully still good.
With that I'm signing off
