Another weekend spent at my mother's house! Poor girl, she looks pretty damn stressed from college and her work... :( It's always nice to visit her, though! She'll be moving back to my side of the mountains in October when she graduates, I'm looking forward to that.

Oh, and I'm officially on summer break! More updates and more stories! :D I'm planning a Total Drama version of Tangled. I freakin' love that movie so much! Disney is amazing, and by Disney I mean actual Walt Disney, not Disney Channel. :\ Tangled is my officially favorite Disney movie, it was so sweet it gave me cavities. xD

But who cares! You didn't come to read about my life, you came to read this story, yes?

Disclaimer: Really now, how many times do I have to say that I DON'T. OWN. TOTAL. DRAMA? I own Total Drama Blainerific, and even now I only own four (okay, five in the sequel) characters in it! Keep reminding me why not!

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"Last time on Total Drama Blainerific...

Once again, it was the original game of hide and seek, with one seeker from each team! Wolfgang, a smart boy with a good head on his shoulders, was the representative for the Killer Barbarians, and at first victory seemed in the bag. Unfortunately, to those of us watching and to those eliminated, we all know that when you go against Briana, you have virtually no chance of winning. It was no exception this time as Briana tricked him into abandoning his hunt, gaining more points for her team and sending Wolfgang packing, but not without a tearful goodbye from Angie.

How will Angie cope with her boyfriend gone? Will Zakk say anything about Samantha's makeover? And will Briana get the karma that's coming to her? Find out on this episode of...

Total... Drama... Blainerific!"

(Theme Song: Go to The Race From Hell for details)

Angie sat on the Dock of Shame, where she had remained for practically the whole night. For the last three days, ever since Wolfgang had been eliminated, she had be staring onto the lake sadly.

Adam was growing pretty concerned. Granted, he never liked that little punk, but perhaps he should've taken some more consideration onto how Angie felt of the guy?

"Angie?" He asked tentatively, finally sitting beside her when he felt like his brain was going to burst from worry.

Angie looked up half-heartedly. "Oh, hey." She said softly. Her eyes still had a faint trace of pink around them.

"Hey..." He scratched his head nervously. "Look, I'm... I'm sorry..."

"For what?" Angie asked, tilting her head to the side.

"For..." he sighed, his pride was sore already, "for being a jerk to Wolfie - Wolfgang - when I knew that he treated you decently."

Angie looked surprised, her gaze softening. "I forgive you Adam." She smiled. "Just stop splattering him with paintballs, m'kay?"

"Got'cha, ma'am." Adam smirked, saluting. It felt good to get this particular patch cleared up.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"So Zakk, what was it you wanted to talk about?" Bunifa Latifa Halifa Sharifa Karifa asked, joining said scrawny white punk (according to Bunifa), Samantha, and Gwen.

"Yeah, I want to know too." Gwen added, raising a brow.

"Relax, I'm not skinning you or anything." Zakk said, rolling his eyes. "I just wanted to ask if you guys wanted to make an alliance. Since Wolfgang's gone, that makes the game a bit easier for us, but the merge is coming and now we're all liable to get picked off."

"You're promising not to stab us in the back if it's suddenly convenient?" Gwen asked, her brow still raised. "We all know Samantha will agree, since you make googly eyes at each other every two minutes - "

She stopped when she saw Zakk and Samantha doing exactly that. "Sorry, go on." Zakk said, motioning with his hand.

Gwen sighed. "I just want to be sure that this is a total deal, that we're going to look out for each other and not we look out for you but you don't do the same."

Zakk crossed his heart. "By a Southern man's honor, good lady."

Confessional:

"Hmm, which reminds me. Didn't the South say the exact same thing in the 1860's in the United States right before going into war with the North? Maybe my United States history knowledge is limited, seeing as I'm Canadian, but still. Whatever, I know what he means. It'd be like me say 'by an Alberta girl's honor.' Heh heh heh..." She scowls. "Whatever, I'm done with this." -Gwen, The Screaming Gladiators

*buzz*

"I'm very proud to be Southern, thank you, even if I am a New Yorker. Both are tough places, and I'm proud to be both. Huh... but say 'by a Southern man's honor' to a Canadian girl probably meant little. Eh, whatever." -Zakk, The Screaming Gladiators

'Well, I'm in." Bunifa said. "Since the merge is officially coming whenever the hell Blaineley announces it, it doesn't hurt to team up with some friends and help to get your way."

"Well said, Bunifa Latifa Halifa Shalifa Karifa." Zakk nodded.

Confessional:

"If Gwen, Zakk, Samantha and I made it to the Final Four, though, they might be whistling a different tune. And If I made it to the Final Three with Zakk and Samantha... I know which black girl's leaving the building." -Bunifa, The Screaming Gladiators

"Alright, I'm in too. I can't go by on good looks forever." Gwen joked, earning a grin from the others.

"S-so am I-I..." Samantha said quietly.

"We all knew that, what with the googly eyes - "

Gwen was interrupted once again by said action. She sighed.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"I-I can't believe how l-lucky we got a-at the last ch-challenge..." Emily commented quietly to Briana, who was sitting on her bunk reading a book. Briana looked at her and grinned.

"I can't either. I guess we just got lucky." She said bashfully.

Emily looked thoughtful. "Still, it's a-a bit h-hard to b-believe t-that Wolfgang just d-didn't find a-anyone..." She commented.

Briana froze. Normally she could keep her cool around almost every hint of her true nature, but Emily was different. For some reason, everyime she thought of the beautiful auburn-haired girl finding out her true nature, her heart felt like it would break.

Confessional:

"For the record, I'm not 'into' Emily. She's just... a... really... really good friend..." For once she can convince no one. "It's not like I'm constantly thinking of her soft hair or her stormy grey eyes or..." She swoons. "Or the way she crinks her nose when she's in a really good part in a book, or the way she looks so at peace when she's listening to music, or - " -Briana, The Screaming Gladiators

*buzz*

"Ever s-since the ch-challenge, I'll admit t-that I've been a l-little suspicious... I m-mean, Wolfgang was a good p-player and it's h-hard to believe t-that he j-just wouldn't look... Sometimes m-my gut points at B-B-Briana, but..." She sighs sadly. "I j-just can't believe that... s-she's the n-nicest girl I kn-know..." -Emily, The Screaming Gladiators

"Maybe his mind was just occupied? I don't really know." Briana shrugged, her silver tongue coming to her side once again.

Emily said nothing, but still looked unsure. When she wasn't looking, Briana's gaze softened into a look of sorrow.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"Like, oh my gosh!" Lindsay squealed happily. "You like Greta, don't you?"

"I told you Lindsay, the Izzy knows all!" The redheaded psycho added.

Lucian sighed, sitting between the two girls. Apparently Lindsay had JUST realized that Lucian had a thing for Gwen.

Richard, who sat across him, just looked happy to not be the center of Izzy's insane babbling for once. He shrugged when Lucian looked at him helplessly.

"Sorry, dude. You're on your own."

Confessional:

"I just could NOT believe it when Iggy told me that Lucas likes Greta! I mean, that's like so WEIRD! Greta's a loud and proud sister and Lucas is Taylor!" She looks confused. "Wait, if Lucas is Taylor, then where's Wesley...?" -Lindsay, The Killer Barbarians

*buzz*

"Everyone knows it! Why don't they just make out and get it over with?" -Izzy, The Killer Barbarians

*buzz*

"Man, does EVERYONE know about my crush on Gwen? Is it really that obvious?" -Lucian, The Screaming Gladiators

*buzz*

"It's the most obvious thing in the history of the world, even to ME. And Katie," he sighs wistfully, "said that a lion could be biting my head off and I wouldn't notice." -Richard, The Killer Barbarians

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Leola, meanwhile, was on a search.

A search for an alliance!

And Christoph happened to be sitting by himself...

Cue her laughing evilly!

"Christoph, hey!" Leola called, bouncing beside him and startling the boy.

"Oh, um, hey Leola..." He said shyly, seeing as he and Leola rarely talked.

"So, I was thinking we should team up for the merge!" Leola said bluntly.

Christoph blinked. "Um... you do?" He said unbelievingly. "After all the pranks you and Jaydee pulled on me?"

"Hey, that's part of the past!" Leola said dismissively. "Harmless jokes!"

Her smile faltered when she saw the scowl on Christoph's face.

Confessional:

"Oops..." -Leola, The Killer Barbarians

*buzz*

"Yeah, I totally want to team up with Leola." Note the sarcasm, if you would. "Since she and I get along so amazingly." -Christoph, The Killer Barbarians

"Well Leola, I'll team up if you want." Bridgette said shyly, startling the androgynous musician.

"Perfect!"

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"Campers, please report to the Dock of Shame for your next challenge!" Blaineley's voice rang out throughout the campsite.

"If I win the million, I'm blowing up that damn thing." Zakk commented to his new alliance.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"I have an announcement for you all that you should probably know." Blaineley glanced at Lindsay, "Or you might not..."

"Hi Brenda!" Lindsay said kindly.

"Blaineley. Anyways, as of this moment, there are officially no more teams, and it's every camper for themselves!"

The campers cheered, shaking hands with their old teammates and standing with their friends.

"Alliances are not only optional, but reccomended. I'd suggest getting one simply because if you don't, you'll probably get picked off. Just saying." Blaineley continued. "Anyway, now it's time for the first challenge that you have to do by yourself."

The campers suddenly looked nervous, except for Izzy who was talking to a scared looking fish she named Gilbert. Christoph and Richard looked weirded out by this display.

"Now, your challenge is simple. Remember the challenge where you all had to create something huge?"

"Like your ass?" Zakk commented innocently, smirking like the troll face when Blaineley looked his way. "Problem, blonde?" (1)

"Grr... troll." Blaineley scowled. "Anyways, the statue has gone missing - "

Everyone snickered innocently when she said that; Blaineley didn't notice.

" - but the fountain remains! Our interns have hidden it somewhere on the Isle de Wawanakwa - "

"Is that what you named this dump?" Gwen asked incredulously.

"I was listening to Madonna that day, now shut up." (2) "This is one challenge where you can work together, even recommended if you truly want to win. The search will last two hours - the first five people to find the fountain, or just the people who find it in case it doesn't get to five, will recieve immunity tonight. The rest of you, it's fair game. Now, are these rules understood?"

The campers nodded.

"Now... go!"

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Emily and Briana

Emily sighed, walking down the Dock of Shame by herself slowly. She knew she wasn't going to win this particular contest, she was still surprised she managed to make it to the merge itself!

Briana caught up to her, a pleasantly light blush on her cheeks for a few seconds. "Hey, Emily!" She called, jogging to meet up with the bookworm. Emily stopped, turning to meet Briana's brown eyes. "Wanna work together? You know, strength in numbers... right?" She asked, smiling.

Emily smiled back. "Y-yeah, I'd like t-to."

The two girls then walked off, pleasantly conversing while they looked for the statue.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Bunifa, Gwen, Zakk, and Samantha

"Alrighty, guys. Let's be off looking for a fountain, shall we?" Zakk said to his three friends, who nodded.

"Sounds good, I guess. Where do you guys think we should go look first?" Gwen asked, rubbing the back of her neck, unaware of another teenager's gaze resting there for a few moments.

"Hmm, Blaineley probably wouldn't go for the middle of the woods, that's exactly where she'd expect us to look." Bunifa said, tapping her chin with one finger. She had her thinking face on.

"Eh, true. So what, we actually think about it or we wing it?" Zakk shrugged.

"I-it would be b-better if we-we thought it o-out..." Samantha commented quietly, twirling a piece of hair in her fingers.

The group walked away from the Dock, planning out their next move.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Izzy and Richard

Richard tried to get out of sight as soon as Blaineley said "Now... go!" He knew that Izzy was going to track him down and force him into searching with her.

But, if he ran quickly enough (holy hell, it hurts a LOT more in reality than on the Wii!), he'd be able to avoid Izzy for the first time since Calvin had been eliminated!

Unfortunately for him, this was a lot easier said than done.

"Richiieeee!" Izzy called out, smiling as she ran after Richard. This only prompted the poor video game lover to run faster.

Confessional:

"I... am going... to lose it!" He's tugging at his hair. "Izzy is a nice girl, don't get me wrong... but if she makes me go on another quest to Candy Mountain - 'Come with me to Candy Mountain, Richard! Yeaaah, Richard! Come with me to Candy Mountain!' - I will hurl myself over a cliff!" -Richard Vic Birge

*buzz*

"Richard always loves the adventures we go on! He especially thought it was funny when I stole his kidney when we went to Candy Mountain! Hmm... we need to go to visit the Banana King next!" -Izzy Reyun

The cards were not in Richard's favor, however, as Izzy jumped on his back. "Come on, Richard! We need to go see the Banana King!" She laughed.

"I thought we were going to go find a fountain...?" Richard asked weakly.

"Oh, forget the fountain! The Banana King needs us!" Izzy smirked, picking up Richard and carrying him piggy-back style.

"Jesus Christ, help me!" He mouthed to the remaining campers on the Dock.

"Sorry, dude. You're on your own." Lucian shrugged.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Leola, Bridgette, and Lucian

Lucian was about to ask Gwen if she wanted to come with him to look for the statue, but alas, she was already going to look with Zakk, Bunifa, and Samantha. He stared sadly for a few minutes before Leola patted him on the back.

"Hey, don't worry Lucian! You can come with me and Bridgette!" Leola said cheerfully.

Lucian smiled back. "Yeah, I'd like that." He said, joining the musician and the surfer girl.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Angie and Adam

Since Bridgette was sadly already going with Leola and Lucian, Adam went for his second choice of Angie. Er, his first choice the entire time. Totally.

"Angie! We're going together, right?" Adam said hopefully.

Angie looked more or less cheered up, or at least for the moment. "Totally, little brother. Assuming, of course," She added mischeviously and walking beside him, "you can stop making googly eyes at Bridgette."

Adam scoffed, although his cheeks were a light pink.

Confessional:

"I'll admit that I think Bridgette's cute. But I'm seriously not interested in dating." -Adam McLine

*buzz*

"Heh heh... 'Adgette'..." -Angie McLine

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Lindsay and Christoph

Honestly, no one was all that surprised when Lindsay and Christoph teamed up together.

"Ohhh Christoph! We should totally team up together!" Lindsay said sweetly. Christoph, of course, found it nigh impossible to say no to her.

He chuckled. "Sure thing, Linds."

"Who's Linds?" Lindsay asked in confusion.

Christoph sighed. "Never mind..."

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Emily, Briana, and Jill and Rosalia the interns

Emily and Briana were walking together through the woods near the interns' cabins. According to Briana, the interns would of course have something to do with the statues, so eavesdropping on their conversations would probably give some hints.

"...You'd think that it would be directly in sight!" The two heard Rosalia say as they pressed their ears to the cabin walls. Briana smirked while Emily grinned - would their good luck continue after the merge?

"I know, right?" Jill the intern replied. "I mean, it was UNDER the Dock of Shame. How did they, like, NOT notice that?" They both heard the two girls giggling.

Briana pumped a fist through the air. "Come on!" She mouthed, Emily nodding as the two ran back to the Dock of Shame.

"Back again, girls?" Blaineley said in surprise, filing her nails. She raised a brow as Briana and Emily dived off the Dock and found the statue. "...I bet it was Rosalia. That gossipy bitch!"

Rosalia knew with her "insult senses" that she was being called her classical nickname. "You know me." She shrugged.

"Um... if you say so." Jill said in confusion.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Richard and Izzy

"Izzy, I REALLY think we should go look for that fountain now." Richard commented. Izzy had put him down after he protested serverely, and would've run the hell away from Izzy -

You know, assuming he knew where he was.

"The fountain can wait. The Banana King NEEDS us!" Izzy pouted.

Richard sighed and smashed his head into a tree. "I hate my life."

"I hate your life too, Richie." Izzy said, half paying attention.

Richard simply sighed.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Bridgette, Leola, and Lucian

"You really think so, Leola?" Bridgette asked, looking amused.

"Yeah, I think so." Leola responded, smirking.

Lucian just trailed behind the two, listening with half attention. Apparently Adam thought Bridgette was cute.

Confessional:

"Ugh... girl talks." -Lucian Sanders

"Well, I suppose it is pretty obvious." Bridgette shrugged.

"What do you think of Adam?" Leola asked, her head tilted to the side in curiosity.

"He's a good friend, nothing more." Bridgette replied honestly.

Leola sighed. "So much for Adgette." She said, acting dramatically.

Bridgette and Lucian rolled their eyes.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Angie and Adam

"Angers, are you sure you're okay with Wolfie being gone...?" Adam asked cautiously, 'scouting the battefield' if you will.

Angie sighed. "I'm still upset about it, granted, but..." She shrugged. "I'm better now. And I'm ready to fight till at least the Final Five for him."

Adam sighed in relief. "Oh, good. That moping was irritating." He commented cheerfully.

The camera zoomed to the top of the woods. A big WHAP followed by an "OOOWWWWW!" was heard a second later.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Lindsay and Christoph

"You haven't answered my question yet, Christoph." Lindsay commented after five minutes of comfortable silence.

Christoph faced her. "What about?" He asked.

"About who this 'Linds' is!" Lindsay said, looking confused.

Christoph blinked. "Lindsay, you're Linds."

"No, I'm Lindsay, not Linds!" Lindsay said, still patient.

Christoph sighed and began explaining the concept of the nickname.

"Ooooh... I get it!" Lindsay said cheerfully.

Christoph smiled. "Good to know, Linds."

Lindsay stared at him. "Who's Linds?"

Christoph sighed.

Confessional:

He sighed. "It's all part of the relationship, Christoph..." -Christoph Farbos

"Oh hey, Christoph! Look!" Lindsay said, forgetting about this mysterious 'Linds'. She pointed to the Dock, under which was the fountain.

Christoph blinked, his jaw falling. "And just when you think you've enderestimated Blaineley..."

"I know, right?" Lindsay smiled.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Bunifa, Gwen, Zakk, and Samantha

The gang - and the rest of the cast in general - searched for another hour and a half before walking back to the Dock of Shame.

"I have no damn idea WHERE the HELL Blaineley put the damn fountain!" Bunifa finally said.

Samantha sat down on a rock, wondering where the heck the fountain was. That is, until Gwen spoke up.

"Um, guys? Is that the fountain... under the Dock?" The Goth girl said.

The four had dropped jaws. "Wow, Bitcheley." Zakk facepalmed. He turned to Gwen. "Well, you found the fountain, you should get immunity." He offered.

Gwen smiled. "You'd give me immunity?" She asked, genuinely touched.

"Hey, you deserve it Pasty." Zakk smirked.

Gwen nodded before running under the Dock - turning to swimming - and touching the fountain, joining Briana, Emily, Christoph, and Lindsay.

At that moment, the two-hour bell went off. "And time! Contestants, please report to the Dock of Shame!" Blaineley called through a megaphone. "Immunity goes to Emily, Briana, Gwen, Lindsay, and Christoph!"

The rest of the campers groaned. They facepalmed when they saw the fountain under the Dock.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

The Elimination Ceremony

"Alright. On my tray, I have fourteen glasses of lemonade. When I call your name - " Blaineley stopped when she realized two people were missing. "Where's Izzy and Richard?"

The campers looked amongst themselves as they realized they had not seen Izzy and Richard since the challenge.

"Um... I dunno."

"I got nothing."

"Something about Candy Mountain?"

Blaineley sighed. "Well, since they can't be bothered to show up - "

"Hey! Blaineley! We're ba-ack!" Izzy called with a sing-song voice, carrying an exhausted Richard piggy-back style.

Blaineley turned with a scowl to the cheerful psychopath and the tired-out video game lover.

"Where have you been?" Blaineley glared.

"To se the Banana King!" Izzy said cheerfully.

"Oh? Was it your idea to leave the challenge?" Blaineley asked.

"Yup!" Izzy nodded cheerfully.

"In that case... Richard, you're safe. It wasn't your fault. Sit with the others!" Richard gulped and joined the others.

"Ooh! Will I be punished! Do I have to make out with Lindsay again? Because," she laughed, "let me tell you, that's no punishment at all - "

"No, Izzy, you're just eliminated."

"What?" Richard spoke up in outrage. Izzy shrugged. "That's not fair! I should be eliminated too if you're going to eliminate her!"

"Sorry, Richard." Blaineley smirked sadistically.

Izzy shrugged. "Well, we all have to leave sometime! I'll say hi to Katie for ya, Richie!" She said, hugging him goodbye before pulling a smoke bomb out and poofing away. A few seconds later, the campers saw her on the Dock of Shame.

"Later Richie!" She called.

Richard waved back, actually sad to see her go. "Later, Izzy."

"What a day! Will any of Richard's friends actually last in this game? Will the campers check under the Dock in the future? And will Rosalia STOP giving away the challenges?"

"You know me." Rosalia the intern shrugged.

"Find out next time on Total... Drama... Blainerific!"

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

(1): Just in case you don't know, especially if you haven't been on fanfiction (or the Internet in general) for too long, a troll is someone who goes out of their way to piss you off and live to get flames (think of dunkieishawt...). Go to deviantART and search the troll face, it's a pretty creepy look but I couldn't resist having Zakk make that face when he insulted Blaineley. xD Not exactly like it, still...

(2): When I had the Sims 2 (which I prefer MU-UCH more than the Sims 3, by the way), I had one town with a design EXACTLY like Total Drama Island's, so I made all of the characters there. I named it Isle de Wawanakwa (sometimes Isla de Wawanakwa) because it had turned into a tourist town and because I was listening to Madonna's song "La Isla Bonita" that day. Just a reference, since Madonna isn't quite that popular anymore... Luckily for her, I still listen to her music. :P

Ah, I LOVE a lot of the stuff on The Sims 3, like the customization and changing your name and stuff, but I just HATE a lot of it. When I switched to play one other family, I went to check on the one I just left and they moved out! When the hell did I ask it to do that? Another COMPLETELY single guy randomly had a kid even though he had no girlfriend, and two other ladies died! So this summer I'm putting all of my Sims 2 back on my laptop and promptly dumping Sims 3. Ha ha, in your face Sims 3! :D ...Ahem, rant over. I just needed to get that out. :P

Oh! And another note to Gwucian fans! Don't worry, Gwidgette won't become Blainerific canon (not even in the verified sequel). Fortunately for Gwucian fans, and unfortunately for Gwidgette fans (like me), it's just a tease. Buuuut, don't be too surprised if more challenges come where I force them to kiss. xD But like I said, it's nothing to threaten Gwucian, no worries. Also, no Adgette happening either, more of a one-sided crush on Adam's side. :P
