We are getting ever closer to the final chapter, who will it be? Who will it be!?
To my reviewers:
PizzaTheBomb: Yeah apparently no more evil doers, but drama doers never end... Poor Roni, having been stabbed by his close friend and then to have someone think he would go crazy XD Let's see if he goes crazy or not...
Curcle: Harvey huh, a first! Most were predicting Seamus, some Sharon, some Roni... Never Harvey, but I can see your point. Who knows, he does have the boys as friends and the girls fighting over his vote so he could just outlast them all.
New Cast reveals: As I mentioned in one of the previous chapters, my next project will be a Total Drama/Pokemon crossover with twenty seven Pokemon competing. The cast has been decided. So every chapter I will reveal a few characters from the story, in no particular order...
-Wormadam(plant cloak): Female, 30 years old, The Aristocrat
-Dragonair: Female: 17 years old, The Elegant One
-Serperior: Male: 17 years old, The Level-Headed Leader
-Carvanha: Female, 16 years old, The Short Fuse
-Buizel: Male, 15 years old, The Fun Lover
Random Fun Fact: Marlene was a character I had to quickly get rid of at the start because she gave me problems irl for using her in the story. It was too late to remove her since I was already 2 chapters in to it. So I just settled for eliminating her immediately.
Chapter 25: Cuffed To Fate
Chris stood atop the same dock. He looked to be excited.
"Alright ma homies, you are now watching the final six episode of Total Drama. We are getting ever closer to the desired prize, who will it be?" Asked Chris.
"Last time, the girls clashed at last with Marianne proving her point to Sharon. Phoebe was caught in the middle of it. Sharon realized she was defeated. Marianne went aggressive to protect her boyfriend. The boys were playing it cool and straying from any drama, but thanks to yours truly, that didn't last long. We had a specially planned challenge prepared for this stage of the competition that was expected to turn things all around."
"The challenge was a brain churning recollection and truth telling based trivia game. The campers had to remember things that happened in their stay here for the first half of the challenge. Simple enough, however part two is where it got interesting. Round two included revealing almost all the hidden secrets that were sure to churn up the drama. We managed to get Sharon to confess her flirting with Harvey and many others, Roni to confess to voting for Marianne, Phoebe and Liam to voting to Daniel, and many of Liam's devious actions. His sabotaging crimes, his lies, his cheatings, his plots, and all his eliminations. Basically, everything he had done was unveiled. Evil aren't I?"
"Eventually, Roni forfeited leaving Phoebe and Seamus to win immunity, which they probably didn't need since the votes were mostly directed at a devastated Liam marking the seventh spot. What mentality will Roni be in today? Will there be a hookup so far in the competition? And who is going to work hand in hand with their buddy to escape utter defeat? Stay with us for a brand new episode of Total Drama: Reality Edition!"
(Cue theme song)
Girls' cabin
The girls were still basking in the shock of the challenge. None of them said anything since arriving.
"Its unbelievable how many rotten people I've met on this island." Commented Sharon.
"Are you trying to hint at something?" Snapped Marianne accusingly.
"What? What do you mean?" Responded Sharon surprised.
"Just come out and say it instead of beating around the bush." Continued Marianne.
"How dare you accuse me of anything? I didn't do anything. I meant Liam and you know that, unless you were feeling like it. Otherwise you wouldn't get defensive about it." Retorted Sharon.
"I have nothing to feel ashamed of. You are the one who should be ashamed, you flirted with Harvey, just to get his vote against me, and you got Roni to vote for me for the past several challenges." Attacked Marianne.
"WHAT!? I never flirted! I was just winking to Harvey to remind him to take my offer, which I repeat, I never specified in who to vote for. As for Roni, that is a total lie, I did no such thing, he was voting for you on his own." Yelled Sharon.
"You even admitted it and you're still lying. I know you put Roni up to…" Marianne was replying when she was interrupted.
"Will you two just shut up?! I can't take it anymore, it's always constant fighting ever since we got here. Can't we all just act like civilized people for once? You both should be ashamed of yourselves!" Scolded Phoebe silencing them both before she stormed out of the cabin.
The girls stood aghast at the normally friendly and calm Phoebe's outburst.
(Confessionals)
Marianne: Okay so I feel bad about acting up, but I'm so worried about Seamus. We are so close and every action should be monitored or else I might lose him right out of my grasp. I would never forgive myself if that were to happen.
Sharon: I really don't want this to happen, but it keeps on happening, from Christina, to Harvey H, to Liam, and now probably Marianne, but I always end up colliding with them. Maybe they see me as a threat, maybe I can't stand people being bad, or maybe I'm just fighting for my place. All I know is that I can't help but get caught up in drama for some reason.
Phoebe: I'm tired, so tired. I just wanna go home already.
Boys' cabin
The boys also looked sullen. The atmosphere was grave and quiet.
"You know, if you look at it in another perspective, this competition is a representation of life." Spoke Harvey.
"Do elaborate oh wise one." Drawled Roni mockingly.
"It has its ups and downs, it has bad people, it has challenges and hardships, it has success, it has failure, it has friendships and it has relationships breaking apart. In the end, we end up learning from it and growing in a way." Explained Harvey.
"Harvey, my friend, is that you in there or Miss Alice?" Asked Seamus jokingly.
"I'm saying this, for us to not look at it negatively. We should move on." Told Harvey.
"Nice." Nodded Seamus.
(Confessionals)
Harvey: I wanted to lighten the mood, I don't know, I just made things up and it worked.
Seamus: Every time someone bad loses we think we are done, this time there can't possibly be a similar scenario, Sharon is a good person, Harvey is a good person, Phoebe is a good person, Roni is a good person, and Marianne is definitely a good person.
The island was no longer crowded or noisy during the day, so few contestants meant that they could enjoy the quietness of the island. Harvey thought about checking up on Seamus, he was surprised to find that Marianne was not with him for once.
"How come I don't see Marianne here?" Joked Harvey.
"Hey Harvey, she's with Phoebe. So how're you? You've been one of the surprises you know, no offense but I'm amazed you're still in this contest. Sorry, that did sound offensive haha." Stumbled Seamus.
"Its alright, I am surprised myself. I managed to stay away from fights, that's how. I don't see you in fights much either, so you understand me." Said Harvey.
"Right, besides the clashes with Dominick and Harvey H, I didn't get into the drama, I really can't afford to you know. I have a really important reason to win this contest. You could say its… well, nevermind." Stopped Seamus.
"I understand you well Seamus, do not worry, you are doing fine. The votes are obviously not your way for the time being. I'm pretty sure you'll make the top four at the least." Eased Harvey.
"Thank you, I hope so for you as well." Thanked Seamus.
(Confessionals)
Seamus: I almost blew it again! Luckily it was Harvey, he is like the least curious person on earth, so he won't ask any further.
Harvey: Strange, Seamus wanted to talk, but stopped himself. Marianne told me, but she doesn't want anybody else to know. Am I the only one who knows? Does Seamus not know that I know? I better not intervene.
Sharon decided that she didn't want to ask Harvey for help, she realized he had not helped her when Miss Alice lost, she thought Marianne had won, but she still had another option.
"You know, funny thing is, I've been asking Harvey for voting help for a couple of challenges, and it was hard. In the end he didn't help me. And then I find out that you have been voting for Marianne all this time. I was so dumb." Spoke Sharon to Roni.
"You thought that since I know her more than Harvey does, I would not vote for her right? But also, I know you more than Harvey does I think. Honestly, Marianne has more people on her side than you do, and she's a threat now." Said Roni.
"You must think I'm desperate, or even low coming to you for help, but…" Sharon trailed off.
"No, you're right to. She has got Phoebe and Seamus on her side, and that's a big threat. I don't know what's up with Harvey, but he's more on your side than hers, he has been voting for her with me a few times. If you want, I'll ask him what the matter is." Promised Roni.
"That would be great. I wish I had talked to you earlier, we might have avoided Miss Alice's elimination." Lamented Sharon.
"We couldn't, not with Liam targeting people." Frowned Roni.
"Yeah, I'm so relieved he lost. What a snake!" She spat.
(Confessionals)
Sharon: All this time I was asking Harvey, and Roni turned out to be voting for her. At least I know that I got someone with me. I'm just sad Harvey didn't side with me.
Roni: Why is Harvey not helping Sharon? She even flirted with him! Harvey has some explaining to do.
Marianne was cautious about approaching Phoebe, she did not know if she was mad at her and didn't want to talk to her.
"Can I sit with you?" Asked Marianne.
"Sure, why not?" Allowed Phoebe.
She sat down with her, both looking ahead of them in silence.
"I'm sorry Phoebe, I'm sorry I was being such a jerk lately. I'm just worried. I am going against my ideals and fighting and planning against a fellow friend of mine, of fear that I may fail Seamus. I'm disgusted with myself sometimes, the only thing pushing me back up is that my intention is pure. Then again, is it really?" Marianne broke down.
"You're fighting for your love, what can be more pure? I'm not mad at you Marianne, I'm mad at this place, this situation we are in. I'm tired of all the drama. I don't want us to fight anymore. I want us to all get along. Yes in the end there will be one winner, but must we really wish harm upon them? They succeeded, what's so bad about that?" Told Phoebe.
"You're absolutely right Phoebe, but sometimes it's not only about our wants. Sometimes there is a need behind it, and then it stops being just a competition. It then becomes a battle, and you can't leave a battle a loser." Hinted Marianne vaguely.
Phoebe wanted to counter but thought she shouldn't question Marianne's reasons. She obviously seemed determined.
"Contestants, its time for your fifth to last challenge, please head to the mess hall." Announced Chris.
(Confessionals)
Marianne: I wanted to tell her, but I already know she wont vote for us, so its not like I needed to convince her. I'm feeling confident that Seamus' stay is now secured.
Phoebe: Maybe its love, driving her to be so ambitious. I don't really approve but I kinda understand. I trust that she won't go overboard though, but then again Liam and Christina broke that trust, could Marianne also do that? I hope not, more than anything else.
All six were in the mess hall. Chris was there holding a small box. One of the tables had three plates on it.
"So, how are you all? Hopefully you didn't kill each other since the elimination." Joked Chris sinisterly.
"Why would we? We're all a big happy family." Retorted Marianne daringly.
"Oh yeah? You just helped me decide on a small detail in today's challenge." Replied Chris evilly.
"This doesn't sound good." Mumbled Marianne.
"Today, you will be competing in what I like to call, the Total Drama Triathlon." Announced Chris." You will be working in pairs in three small tasks, each time the winning pair will earn a point. In the end we will be at one of three possible endings, either we have a three way tie in which everyone will be up for elimination, or we end up with a team winning all three tasks, where both will be immune and the other four are fair game, and the third situation where there would be a team with two wins, one with no wins, and a team with one win. The winning team would win a small prize and immunity, the team with one win would only be safe whereas the team with no wins is the one up for immunity. That means the vote would be restricted to two people only." Said Chris excitedly.
"That is horrible, I prefer the first option where all six of us have an equal chance." Voiced Harvey.
"I wouldn't, that would be anti-dramatic." Argued Chris.
"Do we get to pick who we work with?" Asked Roni.
"Yeah well Marianne sealed that decision, I was initially going to let you decide, but then thought, there is a better way to make this exciting. I am going to choose who works with who." Answered Chris.
"Thanks a lot Marianne." Spoke Roni sarcastically.
"The previous challenge's winners are the first pair, so Seamus and Phoebe. The second pair is Harvey and Roni. Leaving Sharon with Marianne." Decided Chris.
"Oh come on, they're the perfect pair, you just wanted an excuse to put me with her." Whined Sharon.
"Yes, yes I did. Serves you all right to talk back to me. Anyway, so to make things more interesting, you will also be doing it like you were in the labyrinth challenge, cuffed to each other by the ankles." Informed Chris.
"Oh no." Moaned Phoebe." That's so impractical and uncomfortable."
"Music to my ears." Smiled Chris." Your first task is for one of you to feed his/her partner a dish of peas. It's up to you to decide among you who will be the feeder and who will be eating. You will also be cuffed by the wrists for this task only, and the feeder will be blindfolded."
"You will eat." Ordered Harvey to Roni.
"Don't I get a say in, ugh nevermind. Arguing with you is useless." Muttered Roni.
"There is no way I'm eating, and you know it." Refused Marianne.
"Fine, unlike you, I'm easy going." Rebutted Sharon.
"I am so, just not when it comes to food." Tried Marianne.
"So what would you prefer?" Asked Seamus.
"I don't know, I like peas, but I'm also a little slow." Said Phoebe.
"Then you can do the feeding, don't hesitate to just stuff them in me." Advised Seamus.
"One more thing, if you decide you just can't go on with your teammate, then you can choose to quit and lose your chance for immunity." Told Chris.
The campers looked at him, as if saying that was not an option.
"Alrighty then, we have our teams decided, and they're ready for the first task. Will a pair throw in the towel deciding they just can't stand each other? Will a pair sweep the others off with a mind blowing three point total? What mayhem can the unsuitable pairings bring between the contestants? Keep on watching to find out." Ended Chris.
(Confessionals)
Sharon: I hate you Chris, did you have to put me with her?
Marianne: I would like to see us being in danger together, then I can ensure that Seamus has no more threats.
Roni: He put me with Harvey and then expects drama? How?
The three eaters were seated next to each other with the people doing the feeding standing behind them blindfolded. A dish of fresh green peas was placed in front of them.
"Alright, you cannot miss a single piece, you have to eat all of them." Told Chris." Start on the count of three, one, two, three! GO!"
They started picking at the dish clumsily, Chris had interns ready to add any peas if someone drops any. Phoebe was feeling around the dish, Seamus was steadying her hand, she managed to get spoonfuls of peas and was accurately feeding him Marianne was hurriedly feeding Sharon one piece at a time, missing some. Harvey was clumsily picking them and slamming them in Roni's mouth not hitting the mark most of the times.
"Be careful, just let it in the air I'll catch the spoon." Yelled Roni.
"Be quiet and eat." Silenced Harvey.
"Hurry up Marianne, don't just take one piece at a time, we'll never finish like that." Told Sharon.
"We'll drop em if I get more." Said Marianne.
"That's ok. Just hurry." She told her.
"Doing good Phoebe." Said Seamus in between spoons.
"Aren't you chewing them?" Asked Phoebe.
"No need, this is quicker." Told Seamus.
They continued with Marianne still going slow, Harvey dropping many pieces and Phoebe mashing up the pieces making it easier to gather them.
"You know what, just get this over with." Said Harvey as he picked up the whole dish and started dumping the contents in Roni's mouth, half the dish spilling all over." We're done."
"You're not, you have to wait till the interns count how many have been dropped so they can add the same amount back." Said Chris.
"Vug you Avey!" Cursed Roni with a huge mouthful.
"Ugh hurry, we haven't even reached half the initial amount." Ordered Sharon.
"Use that mouth of yours for something other than talking for once." Silenced Marianne.
"You better not mean that in a bad way." Warned Sharon.
"Hahahaha! There is the excitement I was hoping for." Laughed Chris.
"Chris, we're done." Announced Seamus.
"True you are, Seamus and Phoebe win the first task." Announced Chris after checking that they had not lost any pieces.
"This is all your fault!" Accused Roni.
"With that big mouth, you'd think you could hold down a few peas." Retorted Harvey.
"Wow, this task is full of sexual innuendo." Said Chris." Moving on to the next."
(Confessionals)
Seamus: Huh, Phoebe and I make a good team. I would love to win again, it would make Jake so happy.
Harvey: Damn, I was with Roni and we lost in an eating challenge?
Roni: I'm starting to regret my words, maybe it's not the best thing to put Harvey with me.
Sharon: I'll let it slide so I don't give Chris what he wants, or lose Phoebe or Harvey. I really have to think my actions before doing them from now on.
Chris had taken them to the base of the cliff from day one.
"Alright, for your second task, you are going to run to a cave near here and bring back a statuette. The cave is just to the side of the path that starts going upwards to the edge of the cliff." Told Chris.
"What's the catch?" Asked Roni.
"Oh nothing, there's no catch this time." Smiled Chris.
"Not buying it." Refused Roni.
"No problem, you'll find out in the task. Also, you all have to bring a statuette, it is required for the last task, and the last task will commence as soon as you return, so people who win this task will have an advantage." Advised Chris." You may start….NOW!"
They all ran ahead. Marianne and Sharon making proper progress. Harvey and Roni near them with Phoebe and Seamus falling back. They were stumbling due to the unevenness.
"This isn't working." Said Seamus.
"I'm sorry, my feet are smaller than yours, it's hard to run." Apologized Phoebe.
"It's alright, lets try our hardest." Smiled Seamus.
(Confessionals)
Seamus: I hope Marianne is doing better than I am right now.
Phoebe: Seamus is a really nice guy, he doesn't pressure someone or judge them when they mess up, I can easily see why Marianne loves him.
Sharon: It wasn't too hard to do the next task because Marianne and I are almost the same figure so running wasn't too complicated, even while bound.
Harvey and Roni were trying to run fast but their legs were rubbing against each other and causing rough friction, they were tripping sometimes as well.
"Hurry up Roni." Commanded Harvey.
"It's hard to run tied to your giant Shawarma legs." Retorted Roni.
"Step on it before I step on you." Returned Harvey.
In their name calling, they had made it inside the cave without realizing. They then found the statuette that was at the mouth of the cave.
"Harvey, why aren't you voting for Marianne? Even more importantly, why are you not helping Sharon, even after she flirted with you?" Asked Roni.
"For heaven's sake, she didn't flirt with me." Answered Harvey ignoring the question.
"Tell me." Urged Roni.
"I don't want to vote for Seamus." Replied Harvey.
"You don't have to vote for Seamus, but vote for Marianne." Told Roni.
"I also can't do that." Said Harvey.
"Why the hell not? You were perfectly fine a few challenges ago." Roni started getting annoyed.
"I just don't want to." Said Harvey stubbornly.
He walked away but Roni stopped him.
"So you would rather vote for me than for Marianne now?" Asked Roni challengingly.
"No." Said Harvey briefly.
"What were you going to do if Sharon and Phoebe were not choices then? You don't want to vote for Seamus or Marianne." Egged on Roni.
"I'll get to that when I get to that, you have no right asking me who I want to vote for. So stop bugging me about it and keep to yourself." Blocked Harvey.
They grew silent for a moment, they then heard a growl. They turned back to find a bear towering over them.
"AAAAHHHH!" They both screamed before bolting out of the cave.
(Confessionals)
Roni: Harvey has a head harder than rock, once he gets one of his ideas he just sticks to it, and wont change, no matter how wrong, stupid, or hurtful it is.
Harvey: Bear?! DAMN! I wish this bear gets stuck in Chris' tent.
Marianne: I saw Harvey and Roni running out of the cave with a bear on their tail. Wow, Chris should see a psychiatrist.
Marianne and Sharon took the opportunity to approach the empty cave and take the statuette back to camp.
"We got lucky on that one." Said Sharon.
"Don't be insensitive, they have a bear chasing them and all you can think about is that we are winning." Scolded Marianne.
"I didn't mean it like that, I was just saying that we got lucky. Like you're one to talk, all you care about is Seamus. You would probably take out your own sister for him." Retorted Sharon.
Marianne gasped, but made no attempt at delivering a comeback. They made it back to camp to find that Chris, Roni and Harvey were behind Chef as he subdued the raging bear.
"Nevermind us, just go about your next task." Said Chris." What you have to do is arrange these statuettes in a tiki tower in the order of their elimination as each statuette is in the shape of one of the eliminated contestants. Be wary that there are some doubles, for the returnees. The first pair to arrange them properly wins the third point, oh and since Marianne and Sharon managed to get here with their statuette first, they win the point tying with Seamus and Phoebe. Roni and Harvey, you guys better pick up the pace."
Sharon and Marianne quickly began their work. Harvey and Roni waited for Chef to handle the bear before returning to the cave to pick up the statuette. Phoebe and Seamus then arrived looking exhausted.
"Are we too late?" Phoebe asked.
(Confessionals)
Harvey: My new fear has become the fear of bears.
Sharon: She didn't reply, that must mean I was right. If that's what love does, then I don't want to be in a relationship.
Marianne: I don't… only care about Seamus. I care. I really do. Don't I?
Marianne and Sharon were building their totem pole while Phoebe and Seamus had just started, Roni and Harvey were on their way back. When they arrived, Chris explained the challenge and they were now with the others. Marianne and Sharon were ahead of the others with Seamus and Phoebe making quick progress. Harvey and Roni were getting to it quickly.
"This is our chance, if we lose this, then its one of us going home tonight." Spoke Roni.
"Quickly then, you remember the order and I'll put them." Said Harvey.
"Yeah, take the easy way out, as usual." Scoffed Roni.
"Brain stuff is your expertise not mine." Replied Harvey.
"What is your expertise again? Oh right, its lying down and sleeping isn't it." Mocked Roni.
"Just shut up and work." Silenced Harvey.
"Okay let me think, who lost after Beatrice…" Whispered Seamus.
"I think it was Roni." Said Phoebe.
"Right, I couldn't remember cause he is here now." Said Seamus.
"Then it was Randall. Then Alex. Then…" Spoke Phoebe as she assembled the pole.
"Right, don't forget that Lillian lost before Janice." Said Marianne.
"I know, after that was Bradley, all thanks to that stupid Christina." Said Sharon.
"Then Nora, or was it Christina?" Asked Marianne.
"Nora, I know exactly when Christina lost. It was one of the best moments on this place." Told Sharon.
"Okay." Said Marianne.
(Confessionals)
Roni: Just when you think you got the best deal, it turns out to be a catastrophe. Does Harvey not realize this is a challenge? We are so close to losing!
Sharon: We were in the lead but somehow Harvey and Roni gained up on us. If they win then it'll be a three way tie and anyone can lose. I'm scared of that outcome.
Marianne: Looking back, Sharon did have a lot of trouble here. I feel bad going against her, but I have to. Please forgive me.
Harvey and Roni had only three more statuettes to place. Phoebe and Seamus were at Lydia's tiki. Marianne and Sharon were only two statuettes behind Roni and Harvey.
"Harvey H, Miss Alice and Liam. There, done!" Said Harvey.
Chris was making his way to them when the statue began to wobble. Some of the heads were not correctly positioned and it suddenly tumbled down.
"NO!" Shrieked Roni.
"It was in the right order though." Said Harvey.
"Doesn't matter, you have to build it again since I never got to see it." Informed Chris.
"You had one job!" Shouted Roni at Harvey.
"We're done!" Beamed both Marianne and Sharon.
Chris walked over and checked their totem pole.
"Indeed you are, we have our winners!" Announced Chris.
"I hate you!" Fumed Roni at Harvey.
"That means ladies that you win today's prize, you two will get to spend the night on top of the mountain in a hot water spring that will relax you completely." Told Chris.
"Woo!" Shrieked both of them.
"Harvey and Roni, I have unfortunate news, the two of you are the only nominees for tonight's elimination. Everyone else is safe." Told Chris.
They just frowned and sat in silence.
(Confessionals)
Phoebe: Wow, Marianne and Sharon? How did they ever do it?
Roni: Great, great job. Keep your lazy ass seated and wait till we get eliminated. (He shakes his head disappointedly)
Marianne: How better can this be? Both Seamus and I are safe even though we were on different teams! I can't believe we are both going to be in the top five.
Sharon: Oh no! Why is it them? This is the worst possible turnout. Now one of the only two people I could have depended on is leaving. I always get the worst luck.
Sharon had once again gone over to Roni.
"I'm sorry, this must be the worst case scenario for you. If it makes any difference, I absolutely hate it too. You two were the best bets I had." Lamented Sharon.
"Harvey wont help you in the votes and he wont tell me why not. I wish I can help you, and I would, if I survive tonight." Said Roni.
"Are you kidding? You're not losing, you got Phoebe, and I'm on your side and maybe Seamus even." Eased Sharon.
"Thanks." Smiled Roni meekly.
(Confessionals)
Sharon: If Roni loses then I wont have anyone left to vote with me and I am definitely out. Harvey has to lose.
Roni: It probably will come to a tie. I doubt Marianne will vote with me after she found out I was voting against her, same goes to Seamus. If it comes to a tie, I'm sure I can win since Harvey won't lift a damn finger.
Marianne was talking to Phoebe, she was convincing her to vote with her.
"Come on Phoebe you have to help me, He's a danger to Seamus, and to me." Urged Marianne.
"Marianne do you realize what you're asking of me?" Phoebe refused.
"I know, but its going to happen sooner or later, and we're so close. It's not like it would be much different. This will make it much easier because he is a threat if he stays." Convinced Marianne.
"I don't care about threats, I care about friends." Decided Phoebe.
"If that's how you feel then… Then I won't be your friend if you don't help me." Whispered Marianne.
Phoebe gasped and looked at her sadly.
"I hope you decide correctly." Said Marianne before walking away.
(Confessionals)
Marianne: I'm a horrible horrible person for doing this, I hate myself for it. It doesn't matter though because I'm doing it for my love.
Phoebe: (She is utterly shocked) How could she!? How could she say that!? How could she make me do that!?
Chris had gathered them at the bonfire ceremony. Harvey and Roni were seated in front of the others on a separate log.
"This is intense, two best friends going head to head against one another for the coveted fifth position in the final five. Who will it be? I certainly have my bets placed. I even have a preference. I mean, the show wouldn't be the same without the pain magnet." Spoke Chris.
"Thanks, I'm flattered." Drawled Roni.
"Anyway, without further ado, let's get on with the show. You guys are going to vote for either Harvey or Roni. The two of you also get to vote and while it sounds ridiculous, it is possible to get a selfless act of sacrifice. Anything can happen." Addressed Chris.
(Confessionals)
Roni: I never thought I would be doing this, but my vote is for Harvey.
Harvey: This is my fault, I may have not done enough in the challenge. I must work harder from now on, but I won't quit, I vote for Roni, I'm not stupid.
Seamus: It's a hard call, but Roni has been voting for Marianne for a while, I'm not sure who Harvey is voting for but I cant be unfair to him, especially without proof so my vote goes to Roni.
Sharon: Funny, only last time I was begging Harvey for his vote and now I'm voting for him. In the end, I have to stick by my ally and that appears to be Roni.
The contestants were back to the ceremony anxiously, waiting for Chris.
"You have all cast your votes. I here have five marshmallows, one for every one of you who will continue. When I call out your name, you shall receive a marshmallow. The person who does not receive a marshmallow will be eliminated and must walk the dock of shame and board the boat of losers which means you are out and cannot come back." Lectured Chris." The extra sugary chocolate dipped marshmallows belonging to the immunity winners go to Sharon and Marianne. Two extra ones go to Phoebe and Seamus."
The last two remained unaffected. They lay waiting for their fate.
"Harvey, this is the third consecutive time you are in the bottom. I didn't expect that of you, who has been the least drama centered contestant Total Drama has witnessed. Would you rather let your friend remain or watch him depart while you stay and plunder the chances at winning?" Asked Chris.
"Of course I wouldn't want my friend to lose, but in this case, one of us is to leave and nothing can be done about that. In the end anyone would want the best for themselves." Replied Harvey democratically.
"Fair enough. Roni, Last time you were in this position was when you were cheated by Randall. Obviously you're doing something right to have reached this far, do you think the limited number of nominees has sealed your previously broken fate? Continued Chris.
"Since I was given a second chance, I believe my fate is to brave through, as farfetched as that seems. I wouldn't be surprised though if my time has come. My opponent over there is the embodiment of sheer luck." Replied Roni.
"Your fate could also be to lose, even with your second chance. I supposed we'll just have to see. Hence, the final marshmallow in the top six goes to…"
...
...
...
...
...
...
"Harvey"
"Roni, seventh to leave, and then once again, placing in sixth. Your time is up." Told Chris.
Phoebe burst in to tears and ran to the cabin. Marianne looked guiltily at her and tried to call out for her but her voice failed her. Sharon huffed and left the ceremony after hugging Roni goodbye. Seamus offered Roni a small smile as he left. Harvey remained seated feeling the tension of the situation. Roni calmly boarded the boat that took him away, for the second and last time.
(Confessionals)
Sharon: What!? This is terrible, utterly terrible! I hate this!
Phoebe: (She is crying) My friends, those I considered the closest to me are the cause of my pain. Not an enemy, not a stranger but my closest friends. I wanna go home, this is the worst position I have ever been in and I wish I didn't have to vote.
Harvey: … Damn.
"Ah well, its unlucky, but either way I'm glad, cause we got to see tear jerking drama. Marianne has been resorting to extreme lengths to get her deeds done. Harvey and Roni had a fit before they separated. Sharon had a change of heart as she sided with Roni. We are officially down to five contestants who were present since day one. No more returnees. Has the game already been sealed to one of either Marianne or Seamus? Will Seamus find out about Marianne's ministrations? And what will the next chapter hold for our sad contestants? Tune in next time to find out on the action packed fourth to last challenge of Total Drama: Reality Edition!" Ended Chris.

Roni must be one of the unluckiest contestants ever, well besides Leshawna, I still hate what they did to her in TDI -.-, only five remain, a surviving Sharon, a broken down Phoebe, a love deranged Marianne, a confused Harvey, and Seamus on a life/death quest. I obviously couldn't let Roni go too far because he was a returnee, it just wouldn't be that fair.
Roni: At least I won't be in any more danger (falls out of boat) Sigh, nevermind, just review.
