"Last time on Total Drama Showdown, our remaining four competitors were sent on a ghost chasin', marshmallow man destroying mission based off of eighties classic, Ghostbusters!" Marionette exclaimed "Katy, once again, tried to convince Randy that staying in touch after the season is over is a good thing, even though, just like me, he doesn't want anything to do with any of them when it's over and Damien not once...but TWICE...missed his welcome invitation, from Beth, to tonsil hockey city...such a shame" he continued "But in the end after a very large amount of teamwork, some leading from Randy, and theft from my trailer *mumbles*...our group was able to overcome the odds and successfully take down the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man causing one giant mess that Nightmare had to clean up and an emotional Goldenette Ceremony where peace-keeper Katy, was sent packing" he finished
"After all the excitement so far, we are now down to our final three competitors this season!" Marionette exclaimed "What'll happen as the stakes get ever so higher as they fight to make it to the finale!" He continued "Find out right now on another exciting addition of..."
"Total..."
"Drama..."
"SHOWDOWN!"
(Cues Theme Music)
Randy had woken up pretty early, considering most of the time he slept in till noon.
He had gotten up to go get a shower before relaxing out front like he did previously, but on his way out the door he decided he wanted to do something else instead.
He quickly tossed his clean set of clothes back onto his bed before rushing outside, dropping to the ground, and starting push-ups.
He didn't know how many he wanted to do or how many he was going to do, but he just started doing them.
(Confessional -Randy)
"For some reason I just feel like I need to get my mind off of things for a few minutes, and working out helps me achieve that" Randy started "I mean, I've made it far, I think I deserve a little bit of a break" he continued
(Confessional End)
It had been almost forty-five minutes that Randy had started his push-ups, when Damien and Beth walked up.
"Hey Randy, whatcha doing?" Beth asked
"Push-ups" Randy replied without looking up, Beth and Damien glanced at each other
"Well, we were about to go and get breakfast, if you'd like to join us" Beth said
"No thanks, busy" Randy replied, Beth nodded
"Well ok, see you around then" Beth said before nudging Damien's arm
"Later, bro" Damien said before he and Beth took off
"Later" Randy replied, still not breaking his focus on what he was doing.
(With Damien and Beth)
Damien and Beth had started their walk to the dining hall, but were still kind of confused about Randy's change in attitude as of late.
"What do you thinks up with him?" Beth asked, Damien shrugged
"Bro, does his own thing" he started "Being in the final three is probably just getting to his head" he continued
"Maybe" Beth started "It's just kinda weird ya know, I mean he's a good guy...he doesn't need to push all of his friends away" she continued
"Whatever's going through his mind, I'm sure he'll get over it" Damien said, Beth looked at him before nodding
"Maybe" She said.
The two eventually reached the dining hall and walked in to get their plates, luckily for Damien, Nightmare had cooled off about the mess he had made in the kitchen.
They grabbed their plates before heading to one of the tables and sitting down across from each other, as they sat down, the only noise being heard was the sound of their forks clacking against the plates as they ate.
Beth didn't like the silence so she decided to break it...
"So...we've both made it to the final three" She said, Damien looked at her and nodded
"I'm surprised, like I said before, I thought I was going to be one of the first to go" He said
"And like I said before, you weren't. You proved to the others that you deserve to be here" Beth said, Damien gave her a small smile "We are so close to both making it to the finale" she continued, that's when Damien shook his head and looked down
"We might be...but there is no way that's happening" He said
"Why not?" Beth asked in confusion, Damien let out a little chuckle before looking up at her
"Randy..." He started "Dudes tough, and I don't see him not making it to the finals" he continued "Which means that...I more than likely wont" he finished, Beth shook her head
"Don't say that, you have just as good of a chance to make it to the finals as Randy and I do" She said as she reached across the table and placed her paw over Damien's "You can't give up on yourself, not now" she continued, she could see that Damien was really worried about this, but she didn't want him to be.
"Beth, I'm just saying, out of the three of us...I'm least likely to make it" Damien said
"No, if anyone's least likely to make it, it's me" Beth said causing Damien to shake his head
"No way" He said "Beth, you're one of the strongest people, if not the strongest person, I know" he continued "If anyone deserves to be here its you" he finished before giving Beth a small smile.
Beth gave him a sympathetic look before leaning in towards the middle of the table, Damien did the same.
The two of them slowly pressed their foreheads together as they stared into each others eyes...
"Damien..." Beth said almost inaudibly "You're going to make it" she continued, Damien looked away, without moving his head, before closing his eyes.
"I won't give up, but just know...no matter what happens...I'm rooting for you" He said in a whisper as he once again looked at Beth.
(Confessional -Beth)
"Damien and I have made it this far, I know we can make it all the way" Beth started "I know Randy has a ton of fight in him and it isn't going to be easy to beat him, but it'll happen" she continued "I don't have anything against Randy, and I know that he deserves to be here just as much as Damien and I...but he's not getting through us as easy as he thinks he is" she finished.
(Switch to -Damien)
" *sigh* man, like I tried telling Beth...I'm the odd man out in this situation" Damien started "There is no way that Randy isn't making it to the finale, and Beth...Beth deserves it" he continued "I want to make it to the finale, I really really really do, but...I just don't see it happening" he finished before looking down.
(Confessional End)
Beth and Damien were still staring into each others eyes, with their foreheads pressed together, neither one of them wanted to move.
"We're both going to make it to the finale, one of us is going to win, and then we're going to celebrate...together" Beth said quietly
"You don't know how badly I want that to become a reality" Damien said, Beth gave him a small smile
"Damien?" She said curiously
"Yes?" Damien said
"We were in the middle of something the other day...we never got to finish" Beth said quietly
"I know" Damien said
"You can finish" Beth said, Damien looked deep into her eyes and gave her the smallest nod possible before moving his muzzle towards Beth's...
They were a centimeter away when...
"Gooood morni- am I interrupting something?" Marionette said, Damien and Beth stopped before backing away from each other and looking at him
"Yeah, kinda" Beth said in an annoyed tone, Damien was too busy glaring at him to say anything
"Well...isn't that just too bad" Marionette said "It's challenge time!" He exclaimed before noticing someone was missing "Where's Randy?" He asked
"Not here" Beth replied, Marionette groaned loudly
"Even when there's only three of you, you STILL can't all be on time!" He exclaimed in annoyance.
"You didn't tell us it was time to start the challenge!" Beth exclaimed
"You've all been here long enough to where you should know when it's time to start a challenge!" Marionette exclaimed "You know what -Nightmare!" He continued, Nightmare slowly and angrily came walking out of the kitchen.
"What do ya want?!" He exclaimed
"Go fetch Randy" Marionette replied
"Why can't you do it?!" Nightmare asked "He's your brat!" He continued
"Because you're big and scary and can pursue Randy to show up for the challenge" Marionette replied "And besides, if you want me to think about that raise you asked me about, you won't give me any problems" he continued, Nightmare growled.
"Fine!" He yelled before storming out of the dining hall, after he was gone Marionette glanced back at Damien and Beth.
"He's not getting that raise *chuckles*" He said, Beth and Damien both shook their heads before looking back at each other.
Several minutes passed before they heard commotion outside...
"Put me down, you oversized emo Valentines Day gift!" Randy yelled, Nightmare ignored him.
Nightmare burst through the door carrying a flailing Randy by his shirt collar, once they were inside he roughly dropped him to the floor with a thud.
Randy quickly jumped to his feet before getting right up to Nightmare...
"I told you not to touch me!" Randy yelled, Nightmare didn't look amused in the slightest, he placed his hand on Randy's forehead and shoved him back down to the floor
"DON'T YOU EVER GET IN MY FACE AGAIN, YOU LITTLE PUNK!" Nightmare yelled at the top of his lungs down at Randy, all of Randy's fur stood straight up because of the force of the scream.
After, he angrily stomped his way back into the kitchen, leaving everyone else in silence.
"Shouldn't've poked the bear" Marionette said to Randy's annoyance
"Shut up" He said as he stood up and brushed his fur down on his way to one of the tables.
"Ok then, after that string of events, lets get into something fun...today's challenge!" Marionette exclaimed "Today's challenge is one that is going to show the whole world, which two of you really do deserve to make it to the finale" he continued "We're going to push you to the very limit, today, in our very own version of...Fear Factor" He finished.
(Confessional -Randy)
"I have a high tolerance for things like this, so there is nothing that Marionette can do to scare me" Randy said confidently as he crossed his arms.
(Switch to -Damien)
"Axel and I used to watch Fear Factor all of the time, and they did some crazy stuff, man" Damien started "Hopefully something I enjoy won't end up being my downfall" he continued
(Switch to -Beth)
"I've only seen Fear Factor once, my sisters old boyfriend liked watching it" Beth started "So I'm honestly kinda scared at the thought of what Marionette could come up with" she continued
(Confessional End)
"Now, this is how this is going to work..." Marionette started "You will all be competing against each other in a series of gross, scary, and very very dangerous challenges where the last competitor standing guarantees their spot in our finale!" He continued "As for the losers, place in last in a challenge...you're out, or if you're too chicken to do the challenge...you're out. Whichever competitors lose today's challenge, will automatically be placed in the bottom two tonight, where we will let the fans decide which one of you deserves to make it to the finale with our winner" he finished
"Um...just how "dangerous" are these challenges going to get?" Beth asked, Marionette grinned
"Sky diving without a parachute dangerous" He replied, Beth went wide eyed
"That's not "dangerous" that's suicide!" Damien exclaimed
"Yeah, for you guys" Marionette said "Look, I'm sure all of you will be perfectly fine" he continued "Now, how's about you come with me so we can get this started!" He finished before turning and walking out the door, Randy, Damien, and Beth looked at each other.
"He's *Bleep* nuts" Randy said, Beth and Damien nodded in agreement before the three of them followed him out of the dining hall.
(Outside Dining Hall)
The three competitors showed up outside of the dining hall and saw Marionette standing there with a smile on his face.
"Wipe that smile off of your face" Randy said
"Nope" Marionette replied "Your first challenge is right over there" he continued as he pointed behind one of the studios, Randy looked at him before making his way over to it.
Damien and Beth followed behind, when they got there they all stood there staring at what was in front of them.
There was a diving board that must have been thirty feet high, hanging above a pool...full of spiders and spider eggs.
"No way I'm jumping in there" Beth said
"If you don't, then you automatically lose" Marionette said "And with how much is on the line right now, I wouldn't argue" he continued, Beth looked at him before looking back at the pool
"Uh...it'll be ok" Damien with an unsure tone in his voice, even though he was scared, himself
"So here's how this is going to go..." Marionette started "You'll have to climb to the top of that diving board where a bungee cord will be pad locked to your feet, the key to the padlock is somewhere in that pool" he continued "Whichever one of you can jump in there, find the key, unlock yourself, and escape the pool the fastest automatically advances...however, whomever takes the longest time is automatically eliminated" he finished
"Meh" Randy said, Beth looked at him like he was crazy
"Meh!" She exclaimed "It's a swimming pool full of spiders!" She continued, Randy shrugged
"Spiders don't scare me" He said, Marionette looked disappointed by that
"Fine, if they don't scare you, you can go first" He said
"Fine, I will" Randy said as he walked to the diving board and quickly started climbing the ladder, once he got to the top Fritz started locking the bungee cord to him
"Hey, Frank!" Marionette yelled "Make sure he's locked in good!" He continued, Fritz lowly growled
"Yes, sir!" He replied, Randy just rolled his eyes "You're ready" he continued, Randy nodded as he walked to the ledge and looked down.
Marionette was watching with a huge grin on his face, Damien and Beth on the other hand, were both still nerved up about this whole thing.
"Jump when you're-" Marionette was saying before Randy dove off of the diving board and plummeted into the spider pool.
He disappeared beneath the massive amount of spiders and spider eggs as he searched for the key.
Beth and Damien watched the bungee cord move around as Randy swam around looking for the key.
Eventually the cord stopped moving, it stayed still for several seconds before Randy popped up from underneath the spiders, made his way to the side of the pool, and climbed out.
"Here's your key" Randy said as he threw Marionette the key. After, he stood there swiping spiders off of himself.
Beth and Damien were still shocked at how calmly he had done that, it's like, it didn't even remotely bother him. Not even the slightest.
(Confessional -Randy)
"Like I said, I don't scare easy" Randy started "It's going to take A LOT more than a pool full of spiders to bother me" he continued.
(Confessional End)
"Randy, you finished in...three minutes and twelve seconds" Marionette said "So, Damien, that's you're time to beat" he continued, Damien glanced at him before looking back at Beth
"Well...looks like I'm up" He said, Beth looked at him
"Y-yeah, you are" she said, Damien gave a small but nervous chuckle before he headed towards the ladder, he slowly started climbing, glancing down at Beth every so often as he did.
He eventually made it to the top, where Fritz locked the bungee cord to him.
"You're good" Fritz said as he stood up, Damien stood there glued to the diving board "Uh...hey" he continued "Dude, you can jump" he said as he snapped his fingers in Damien's face, Damien shakily nodded at him before slowly walking towards the ledge and looking down.
As he did the drop seemed like it got even longer than it was, like he was now one hundred feet in the air.
Damien gulped and looked over to Beth who was staring up at him, he knew that she didn't want to do this challenge...but he didn't want her to get eliminated for backing out of it.
He knew he had to be brave and prove to Beth that she would be ok, Damien closed his eyes tight before taking a deep breath.
"Dude, I'm crazy" Damien muttered before diving off of the diving board, he screamed as he plummeted into the pool of spiders below.
He popped up from underneath the spiders, chills running all over his body, before quickly disappearing back underneath.
He swam around in the spiders and eggs trying to feel around for the key, but the only things he was grabbing was very angry spiders.
"You can do it, Damien!" Beth called from the outside and about twenty-feet back from the pool.
Damien was just barley able to hear her, just hearing her cheer him on gave him the strength to not jump out of the pool and run out of the film lot screaming like a girl.
After what felt like three hours he finally found what he was looking for, he unlocked the lock before jumping up and out of the pool in lightning speed.
He jumped up and started smacking at the spiders that were crawling around on him, again, he was doing his best not to scream like a girl.
(Confessional -Damien)
"Ok, man, I'm not scared of spiders like I was sumo wrestlers...but that doesn't mean I like them" Damien started "I mean, they give me the creeps more than anything" he continued "And the nightmares I'm going to have about having to swim around in a pool of them, are going to get old real fast" he finished.
(Confessional End)
"Damien, unfortunately you didn't finish faster than Randy did" Marionette started "You're time was four minutes and three seconds" he continued, Damien was too busy smacking the spiders off of himself to even pay attention "Beth, that leaves you" he finished, Beth started nervously shaking as she looked at him.
She slowly started walking towards the ladder, something was telling her to stop walking, but she didn't.
Once she got to the ladder she showily started climbing it, she was getting more and more nervous the closer she got to the top.
Eventually, she finally made it to the top, when she did Fritz started getting the bungee cord locked in place.
As he was getting her ready to jump, he could see how much she was shaking...
"Hey" Fritz said causing the nervous cat to look down at him "You don't have to do this" he continued
"If I don't I'll get eliminated for sure" Beth said
"You could still get eliminated even if you did it" Fritz said
"I-I know but-" Beth started before being interrupted
"I'm not trying to talk you out of this, but I've seen everything Marionettes put all of you guys through" Fritz started "You obviously don't want to do this, and you don't have to" he continued, Beth stared down at him as he finished locking her bungee cord in "You're all set" he finished
"Thank you, Fritz" Beth started "B-but I have to do this" she continued "Damien did...so I can" she finished, Fritz nodded
"Well then, good luck" He said, Beth nodded before slowly walking towards the ledge.
Once she got there she looked back at Fritz who was watching her, she gave him a small smile before looking forward again.
"You can do this, Beth" She said to herself before closing her eyes "Here we go" she continued before falling forward off of the diving board, she screamed the whole way down, only being silenced when she crashed into the pull and disappeared underneath the spiders.
Damien was standing there nervously waiting for her to pop back up, over a minute passed before a paw popped up holding a key, Damien smiled widely as Beth popped up.
She quickly leaned back down and unlocked herself before jumping out of the pool faster than what people would have that was humanly possible.
"AHHH! GET THEM OFF! GET THEM OFF!" Beth yelled in a panic as she ran around swiping spiders off of herself, Damien quickly ran over to her and started knocking them off.
(Confessional -Beth)
"I hate spiders so much!" Beth exclaimed "They creep me out so bad!" She continued "I never ever EVER want to do anything like that again!" She finished.
(Confessional End)
"Beth, I can see you're busy, but you found your key in two minutes and thirty-three seconds!" Marionette exclaimed "You not only beat Damien, but you annihilated Randy's score!" He continued, Randy stood there with his arms crossed but gave a small approving nod "But, that does mean Damien is out" he finished, Beth finally stopped jumping around when she heard that
"No...I-I" Beth stuttered as she looked at Damien, He shook his head
"Don't worry about it, you did great" He said "I'm out of the challenge, not the game" he continued "At least not yet, anyways" he muttered, Beth shook her head
"You're not going anywhere" She whispered in his ear, Damien gave her a small smile
"Go get your spot in the finale" He said "I'll be close" he continued, Beth nodded
"I think I'm going to need some support for whatever the next challenge is" She said
"Well, you got it" Damien said before taking her paw and kissing it, Beth blushed
"Romeo, Juliet has a challenge to get to" Marionette called, Damien glared at him
"I'm getting tired of him" He said
"I know, me too" Beth said before taking Damien's paw in hers "It'll be ok" she said, Damien gave her another smile before nodding.
"I know" He said, Beth smiled at him before looking at Marionette
"Ok, so what's the next challenge?" She asked, Marionette smiled
"Something I'm really going to enjoy watching" He replied with a grin on his face, Randy and Beth looked at each other.
(At Second Challenge)
Marionette had led Randy and Beth to where the second challenge was going to be taking place.
"This is the big challenge to determine which one of you two will be guaranteeing your spot in the finale!" Marionette exclaimed "Lets call it...a mini challenge, because there are three parts to it" he continued "Part one, on the table in front of you are pizzas that Nightmare cooked up in the kitchen with food leftover from last season!" He exclaimed shocking not only Beth and Randy, but Damien too.
"Food from last season?!" Beth exclaimed "You can't be serious!" She continued
"Oh, I am" Marionette said "You will both have to finish all three of the slices on your plate before you can move on to the second part of the challenge which is crawling on your hands and knees through that little trench over there that's filled with snakes!" He continued "And finally once you reach the other side you must get through that ring at the end, but the catch is...it'll be on fire" he finished before snapping his fingers, as he did a crew member walked up and lit up the ring.
"You're insane" Randy said "Why don't you do all of this crap?" He asked
"Because, you're competing...I'm not" Marionette replied "Anymore questions?" He asked
"Yeah, why do-" Beth was saying before being cut off
"-Nope, ok then" Marionette said "Now, whoever can finish the fastest, wins" he continued
"Uh...what's in that pizza?" Damien asked "I think I just saw something move" he continued
"I dunno" Marionette replied as he shrugged "But it looks nasty as heck and I'm glad I don't have to eat it" he continued "So uh...Randy, you wanna get this started?" He asked, Randy walked up to the table and stood in front of one of the plates
"I just want you to know, if something in this pizza kills me...I'm going to haunt you" Randy said to Marionette before picking up one of the slices and taking a bite, Beth and Damien were both trying not to vomit as Randy chowed down on the pizza.
Randy himself was trying to keep it down, there was all sorts of nasty little things cooked into it, cheese that had to have been way passed its expiration date, stale bread chunks, black pepperonis...
Randy closed his eyes tight as he finished the first piece before moving on to the second, his first bite of the second piece was a crunchy one.
Marionette stood there watching in disgust as Randy ate the terribly bad pizza.
Randy finished his second piece before moving on to the third, he was trying so hard to keep himself from throwing up.
Just to get it over with, he ate the third piece as fast as he could.
After he swallowed it, he gagged before taking off running to the snake trench. He dropped to his knees and started crawling through.
The snakes slithering over his paws and brushing up against his legs didn't seem to be slowing him down any, he crawled as fast as he could, occasionally having to knock a snake off of himself.
Once he made it to the other side he quickly shot up to his feet before running and diving through the flaming hoop, landing on his belly on the other side.
After, he lay there a minute before finally pushing himself back up to his feet.
"There, I'm finished with your stupid challenge" Randy said "What was my time?" He asked
"You're time was two minutes and fifty-four seconds" Marionette replied "Beth, you're up" he continued "You have to beat Randy's time in order to win" he finished, Beth glanced at Damien before looking towards the pizza.
She slowly walked towards the table and stopped as she examined the grotesque, disgusting looking pizza in front of her.
She took a deep breath and sighed before picking up the first piece...
"This better be worth it" Beth said before taking the first bite, it was the worst thing she had ever eaten in her entire life.
She fought to keep it down before taking another bite, she knew she was wasting too much time so she started scarfing the rest of it down.
She had the whole piece eaten in mere seconds before quickly moving on to the second piece, were just like before she had it eaten in mere seconds.
Once she finished the second, she had managed to completely block out the taste so the third piece was easy.
Once she finished the third piece she took off running to the snake trench where she dropped to her knees and started crawling through it, just like Randy, she was ignoring the snakes slithering across her paws and rubbing up against her legs.
She wasn't too fond of snakes either, but she knew now wasn't the time to complain.
She eventually made it to the other side before hopping up, running, and flipping through the ring, landing in a crouched position on the other side.
She dropped to her knees as she tried to regain her breath, Damien quickly made his way over to her to congratulate her.
"You did great!" Damien exclaimed, Beth looked at him and nodded
"That pizza was terrible" She said
"I bet" Damien said as he patted her on the back
"Beth, congratulations, I can't believe you actually finished that" Marionette said "But what surprises me even more is that fact that you somehow managed to beat Randy's score by a mere six seconds" he continued
"Wait, so I win?" Beth asked, Marionette nodded
"You win" He replied, Beth happily jumped up.
Randy stood there with his arms crossed again, he let out a little chuckle as he nodded.
"Congrats, you got more fight in you than I thought" Randy said "I don't mean that in a bad way" he continued, Beth nodded
"I know you don't" she said
"So, since Beth is moving on to the finale, Randy, Damien we're about to find out which one of you will be joining her" Marionette said, Randy and Damien glanced at each other.
(Confessional -Randy)
"Like I said, I don't scare easy" Randy started "I gotta give Beth props though, I honestly didn't think she was going to jump in the spiders...but she did, I didn't think she was going to eat that horrible pizza...but she did, and I didn't think she was going to crawl through those snakes...but she did" he continued "Kittys got game" he finished before nodding approvingly.
(Switch to -Beth)
"I'm a little surprised that I managed to win both of today's challenges AND advance to the finale" Beth said happily, her smile quickly faded though "I just hope Damien makes it with me, it was my fault he lost the first challenge...so it would be my fault if he ends up getting eliminated" she continued "If anyone deserves to make it to the finale...it's him" she finished.
(Switch to -Damien)
"Man, it sucks that I lost that first challenge, I don't blame Beth though" Damien started "I don't want to go home, but I guess at this point I've accepted whatever ends up happening" he continued "She really deserves to have gotten as far as she has...she really does" he finished before smiling.
(Confessional End)
(At Goldenette Award Ceremony)
"Welcome, it's time to determine which two of you have made it all the way to from day one...to the finale" Marionette started "And which one of you made it this far...just to fail" he continued with a grin.
Beth and Damien looked at each other, nervousness building up inside of them.
Randy on the other hand, sat there in usual Randy fashion with his arms crossed and an unamused look on his face.
"Now lets get to crushing one of your dreams!" Marionette exclaimed "Alrighty, first one of you making it to the finale...Beth" he continued before tossing Beth her award, she caught it before once again looking at Damien "*Chuckles* Randy, Damien, one of you is about to face the same exact embarrassment that Cheek felt last season!" He exclaimed
(Dramatic Music Starts Playing)
Randy was still sitting there with his arms crossed, but now he was a little more nerved than before, but he wasn't going to show it.
Damien was trying to hide his nervousness like Randy was, and it was working a little bit, but not much.
(Music Gets More Dramatic)
Marionette was slowly moving one of the most important Goldenette Awards all season, back back fourth between Randy and Damien.
Damien closed his eyes tight and started taking deep breaths to calm himself down.
Randy continued to sit there like it wasn't bothering him even though it really was.
Beth looked at Damien before placing a paw over one of his shaking ones, Damien looked at her and visibly calmed down some.
(Music Gets Even More Dramatic)
"And the competitor joining Beth in the finale is..." Marionette started before stopping as he continued to move the award back and fourth between Randy and Damien, he had a huge grin on his face as he did, knowing how bad he was messing with the competitors.
Randy, even though he wasn't even the slightest bit amused with Marionettes games, didn't have it in him to insult Marionette at that moment.
"Hmmmm..." Marionette started as his moving the award started slowing "And the competitor that will be joining Beth in the finale is..." He continued before stopping as he stopped moving the award.
Randy finally uncrossed his arms as he leaned forward, waiting for Marionettes answer.
Damien gave one last glance to Beth, who at this point was probably more nervous than he was.
"It's ok" He mouthed before giving her a reassuring glance, she just continued to stare at him
"...Randy" Marionette finally said before tossing the now relieved Randy his award "Damien, you're out" he continued
(Elimination Music Starts)
Beth's heart sank as she looked towards the ground...
"No..." She said
Damien closed his eyes and took a deep breath before a small smile formed on his face, he looked over at Beth and gave her a reassuring smile as he grabbed her hand.
Beth looked up at him and saw his smile, she was confused...
"I don't see how you're smiling right now" Beth said
"I'm smiling because I'm not surprised" Damien started "Like I said, I was expecting this" he continued
"Damien, this could have gone either way" Beth said as she tightened her grip on his paw, Damien shrugged
"Maybe it could have" He started "The only thing I'm glad of though, is the fact that you're going to the finale" he continued "You deserve it so much more than I do" he finished before standing up.
Beth, who still had hold of his paw, stood up with him and hugged him.
The two stood there silent for several seconds as they hugged...
"Thank you" Damien whispered
"For what?" Beth asked
"For being there for me the whole season" Damien replied as he broke the hug to look at Beth "Everything we've done, all of those random conversations we've had, and all of those jokes we've cracked about Marionette...mean the world to me" he continued before placing his paw on Beth's cheek, she rested her head against it
"They mean the world to me too" She said, Damien smiled
"Good" He said before leaning in and kissing her forehead "I'll be cheering for you" he continued
Randy finally hopped up and walked up to Damien and Beth, when he got over there he extended his paw...
"You surprised me" Randy said "I'll admit, I didn't think you'd make it this far...but you did" he continued "You proved me wrong, heck, you proved everyone wrong" he finished, Damien nodded before shaking his paw.
"I've been told" He said with a smile as he glanced back at Beth "It's been fun, man" he continued, Randy nodded
"Yep" He said
"Damien, time to get going, I have somewhere to be" Marionette said as he looked at his watch, Damien looked at him before looking back to Randy and Beth.
"Good luck, you guys" Damien said, Randy nodded "I'll be watching" he continued before smiling back at Beth "I'll see you again, I promise" he finished before quickly hugging her again.
After he hugged her he smiled at her before turning and walking towards the Lame-O-Sine, Beth stood there watching with a very nervous feeling inside of her.
There was something she really wanted to do, but was really nervous to do it, but she knew she needed to.
"Damien, wait!" Beth exclaimed, Damien stopped and turned around, as he did Beth ran up, grabbed his shirt and pulled him towards her smashing her muzzle against his.
Damien stood there surprised at first before slowly putting his hands on her hips and closing his eyes.
Randy let out an almost inaudible chuckle as he watched...
"It's about time" He said to himself
Beth and Damien held the kiss before slowly breaking it and once again resting their foreheads against each other, both Beth and Damien's cheeks were tomato red.
"You go win, I know you can" Damien said, Beth gave a small nod
"I know" She said
"Hey, don't mean to interrupt but you need to go" Marionette said, without looking away from Beth, Damien lifted up his left hand and flipped Marionette the bird "That's very rude" he continued, Damien didn't say anything.
Randy laughed...
"Good luck" Damien said before kissing Beth again
After, Damien slowly started backing away from Beth and towards the Lame-O-Sine.
"I'm going to teach you how to skateboard after you win" Damien said causing Beth to giggle
"I'm looking forward to it" Beth replied, Damien smiled and nodded before opening up the door to the Lame-O-Sine.
Before he climbed in though he stopped and looked back at Beth...
"She had a lively, playful disposition that delighted in anything ridiculous" Damien said with a smile, Beth was confused at first but then realized where she had read that before "It was a good book" he continued before climbing into the Lame-O-Sine.
Beth watched as it drove off and disappeared in the distance, she smiled a small smile before nodding.
She turned back towards the stage and walked up to Randy, the two stood there staring at each other.
"And with that, we have now confirmed which two competitors are going head to head for our one hundred-million dollar grand prize in our season finale!" Marionette exclaimed "Stay tuned and find out which competitor is going to claim success, on our season finale of Total...Drama...Showdown!" He exclaimed.
And that'll do it for both chapter 24 and Damien!
I really hope you enjoyed, because this has to be one of my favorite chapters this season.
I have really enjoyed thinking up Beth and Damien's story and I have honestly fallen in love with the ship, which I wasn't really planning on doing...haha.
But anyways, I hope you enjoyed and I will see you next week for Total Drama Showdowns long awaited season finale!
