This challenge was brought to you by Another Dead Hero (the challenge idea used more or less, heh). Thank you! And if any of you ever have challenge ideas, feel free to message me and let me know, because it is appreciated!
Also, the character of Riley (mentioned in Total Drama Blainerandom, confirmed to be a contestant in the next season), is not me, but she is me at the same time… Does that confuse you? I have an OC named Riley I use quite often, but this particular Riley was created by Punxysaur and still supposed to be me. I hope this gets some confusion out of the way.
And, a few of you already know who the Final Three would be (you know who you are, guys) – it has to be said again, please keep quiet, since the winner, third eliminatée and runner up are to remain a surprise. Thanks guys! There's also a poll on my profile for who you think will win this season – most of you would probably be biased, but all the same feel free to vote, and try to vote who you THINK, not want, will win honestly. Except for the afore mentioned people who already know – please don't vote. :/
Disclaimer: I don't own Total Drama Island (too bad, it was the best season) or any of its sequels (I really didn't like Total Drama Action and the only things I liked in Total Drama World Tour were the songs, Alejandro, and Sierra). I also don't own majority of the OC's mentioned in this story – just Rosalind Hex, Frances Worthington, Selene Stocker, and Coriander Levison-di Amarata. I also own the families of all of these afore mentioned characters (except Selene's aunt, you'll see why later).

"Last time on Total Drama Blainerific…
The contestants had a cosplay challenge, as they spun on the wheel of random and was selected to act out the part of an eliminated contestant. New alliances were formed as Angie, who had finally exploded from Adam's hatred of Wolfgang and desire to make him look the fool, teamed up with our current devilish villainess Briana, who agreed to help her get him eliminated – at the cost of involving her in an alliance, and she'll probably blackmail her into staying in it! How evil is that? Adam was sent packing, Samantha didn't have to compete, Angie, Richard, and Zakk won immunity, and Angie felt guilty – but it was too late by then.
How will our campers fare? Will Angie crack under the guilt? Was Samantha really okay with Angie and Zakk's kiss, and how did Wolfgang feel about it? Find out on this episode of…
Total… Drama… Blainerific!"
(Theme Song: Go to The Race From Hell for details)
.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"Well, it's settled. Chef is trying to fucking kill us."
As per usual, this episode started in the Mess Hall. Zakk, Bunifa, and Samantha were all about to receive their food, but even Samantha jumped and backed away when a green hand emerged from the slop, picked up a spoon, and tossed bits of what looked like carrots at them.
"What the hell, Chef?" Bunifa scowled, ducking as a particular large orange… thing landed in her hair. "My hair!"
Chef Hatchet scoffed as he continued to stir in his large cooking pot (that's what she said, LOL), the pot containing more fuzzy green and orange slop. "Puh-lease, children. This is a delicacy they served when I was in 'Nam."
"You were in Vietnam?" Zakk raised a brow disbelievingly.
"Yes, I was. It was horrible." Chef Hatchet scowled.
"Dude, you're Canadian. As far as I know, Canada wasn't even involved in the Vietnam War." Zakk pointed out.
Chef Hatchet scowled at his bluff being called, then promptly got in Zakk's face. "YES, CANADA WAS INVOLVED IN THE VIETNAM WAR! ARE YOU QUESTIONING ME SOLDIER? ARE YOU?"
Zakk saluted immediately. "Sir, no, sir!"
Bunifa and Samantha followed suit.
Chef Hatchet relaxed a little. "NOW GET OUT OF MY KITCHEN!"
"But uh, we still haven't gotten breakfast – " Bunifa raised her hand.
"OUT!"
When all three were outside, Bunifa scowled. "Well, I didn't want any of his damn gumbo anyway."
That's also what she said.
.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"Aww, I know how you feel." Leola said to Bridgette mischievously.
Bridgette raised a brow. "How I feel…?"
"You know, your boyfriend left last challenge – "
"Woah, woah, Leola. Since when were Adam and I dating?" Bridgette raised a brow.
Leola raised one in return. "What, you didn't notice?"
"Um…"
"Adam totally had a crush on you! You didn't notice?" Leola said in disbelief.
"He did?" Bridgette asked in shock. "Wow, I really didn't notice."
"You didn't?" Leola raised a brow.
"No, no I didn't." Bridgette replied.
Both sat in silence.
"So… how's it been since Gwen left?" Leola brought up.
"Ugh, don't even mention it." Bridgette sighed. "It's the first time that she was eliminated before I did, and it's weird…"
"Yeah, I know. I felt the same way when Jaydee was eliminated – " Leola smirked at the look on Bridgette's face.
"Holy crap! For the last time, Gwen and I were never dating!" Bridgette said in irritation.
"Are you sure?" Leola grinned.
Bridgette scowled.
Confessional:
"All right, just to get this clear, Gwen and I were NEVER dating, and we never will. I mean, sure she's gorgeous and smart and witty and – " She stops. "Okay, that didn't come out quite right." –Bridgette Lake
.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"Wait, so run it by me again?" Lindsay said, with her confused face on.
Christoph sighed. Emily shrugged as she watched the two.
"Well… alliances are when people team up to try and win." Christoph explained, again. While Lindsay was the sweetest, kindest, and most beautiful girl he'd ever met, she still was about a 0 WATT bulb.
"Ooooh, I totally get it." Lindsay smiled. Christoph rolled his eyes and counted down in his head – five, four, three, two, one –
"Wait, so run that by me again?" Lindsay said, with her confused face on.
Christoph sighed. Emily just laughed as she watched the couple.
.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Ever since Gwen's elimination, Lucian and Richard had become closer friends, due to the fact that both of their romantic interests had been voted off – coincidentally both girls from the original series, a fact that Lucian still laughed over. Then he would get sad again.
"It still doesn't make sense. I thought that Sin was this giant fishy monster thing in Final Fantasy Ten!" Lucian frowned.
"Oh, he was, but it was a bit more complicated than that." Richard nodded.
Ever since they started hanging out, Lucian had become more savvy video game wise – his favorites, or at least from Richard's stories of the many video game conquests he had performed, had been the Final Fantasy series (a personal favorite of the author's, in case ya'll are wondering).
"Well, he was manifested by the temples in the game. The residents of Spira had become too reliant on machina, or machines, and to punish them a crazy high priest manifested himself into a giant creature to convince the world they needed to change and go back to the church." Richard explained.
"Oh." Lucian said, nodding. "That sounds like a very confusing game."
"Oh, aren't all of the Final Fantasies? It's still a really, really fun game though." Richard agreed.
"I'll have to check it out sometime, then."
.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Briana was sitting by herself, contemplating her next moves in the game when her "friend" Angie approached her.
The charming manipulator merely looked up from her spot, nodded, and motioned for Angie to sit beside her. She said noting as she played with a piece of grass.
Angie looked nervous, playing with a piece of her black hair. "Look, Briana… I want to talk." She began.
Briana looked up. "Well, I should assume that's why you're over here. Generally when one approaches someone they have conversing in their mind." She said sarcastically.
Angie chuckled nervously, sitting down on the grass. "It's about Adam. A-and him getting eliminated…"
Briana grinned. "How is the silence treating you? No annoying little brother rubbing in your boyfriend's elimination all the time must be pretty nice."
Angie looked down, shame entering her eyes. "I-I wanted to say thank you for helping me, but I can't do this anymore. I j-just can't, the guilt is g-getting to me and – "
Briana scowled. "I should've figured that you would want to discuss this with me. What about this is bothering you so much? Your greatest source of irritation is gone, plus with me you have a better chance of getting to the Final Two."
Confessional:
"Even if she got to the Final Two, that's as far as I'd let her go." –Briana Galvan
Angie sighed. "You said that if I agreed to help you out with anything you needed from now on, you'd help me eliminate Adam. S-send him home. And I'm grateful, I am! But some of these plans that you want to put into action – I just can't do them! These are my friends, Briana!"
The manipulative teenage girl turned to her, a terrifyingly serious look entering her coffee bean brown eyes. "You want to quit?"
"I do! More than anything!" The crystal-green eyed girl said.
Briana smiled sweetly. "Angie." Her word caused Angie to look directly at her, the sweet smile disappearing and being replaced with a look of malice and spite. "I'll give you this – you can stay in this alliance with me, and get to the Final Two, maybe even win this show. I'll protect you from elimination – I can do that. Or, you can fuck me over, and quit. What will happen then is that I will not only get you eliminated, but I will tell everyone, on the cameras, what really went on behind Adam's elimination. And I can even make it look like you got Wolfgang eliminated too."
"You can't do that!" Angie gasped, her hands covering her face in horror.
"I can and I would. I have more influence on this game then you can even fathom, Angie. Right now, your brother trusts you and has no idea what cost him the game. But I will tell, I will tell the world every last detail of your involvement, how you betrayed your blood kin and got him eliminated." Briana glared at her harshly. "What say you, Angie? What will it be?"
Angie sighed, a small tear slipping down her cheek. "I-I… I'll stay."
Briana smiled sweetly. "Good girl. That's what I wanted to hear."
.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"Now that you've had time to chill out and threaten each other, would everyone please report to the building that we met in last challenge?" Blaineley's voice came over the intercom.
"Hmm, let me think about it really hard… No." Zakk said sarcastically, earning snickers from the campers (mostly Bunifa and Lucian).
"And I'm pretty sure that Zakk just made some sarcastic comment about my wording of me telling you to report in the cosplay building." Blaineley's voice dripped with sarcasm.
Zakk scowled. "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't – "
"I imagine that Zakk just said either 'damn straight' or 'maybe I did, maybe I didn't.'" Blaineley added.
"Get out of my head, Mildred!" Zakk glared at the intercoms.
.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
The campers all sat down in the chairs that had ever so kindly been provided for them by the interns (except Coriander and Rosalia, who were catering to the eliminated players) while Blaineley was on the stage. Chef sat behind the computers.
"All right! Now, because this cosplay room is still available to us for today only before we have to return all of this rented crap – "
"Blaineley's too cheap to actually buy this stuff. What are the odds?" Zakk snickered, causing laughs from the cast.
Blaineley scowled. "Shut up. Now, since this is conveniently here we chose to do another final cosplay challenge – this time cartoon and video game themed!"
Richard smiled. "Perfect!"
Confessional:
"Dude, if I got a video game character, then I would royally ace this challenge. There isn't a game character that I don't know inside and out!" –Richard Vic Birge
"This randomizer on the computer will assign all except two of you a character from a video game or a cartoon to cosplay as. In this randomizer, there are also two passes to get automatic immunity and a pass out of the challenge! The assigning of the characters and the contestant will be as we did last time. Now, starting off today is…" Blaineley turned to the screen as Chef began to work with the computer.
Angie's name and picture appeared on the screen.
"Angie will be…"
The female protagonist of the ever so popular movie Megamind appeared. "Roxanne Ritchi!"
Angie sighed, still down from the heated confrontation between her and Briana earlier, and entered into the dressing room.
"Now hold on, Angie! This challenge is a bit different than last time – since some outfits are hard to create, outfits have been provided for you. The first part of the challenge is to do a voice impersonation of the character – then to model yourself in their outfit. In Angie's case, Roxanne Ritchi on Megamind was a reporter with a saucy attitude, so she can work with that. All of our voting, this time, will remain silent – meaning at the end of the challenge I will tell you who I thought was the best. That person will gain immunity in next week's challenge and won't have to compete. The person with the least amount of points will be automatically eliminated, like Gwen was." Blaineley explained.
Lucian sighed at the mention of Gwen.
"Oh." Angie muttered, retaking her seat beside Briana.
"Now next, we have…"
Zakk's name and picture appeared on the screen.
"Zakk as…"
The next picture was famous for the line, "Screw you guys, I'm going home!"
"Eric Cartman from South Park!"
Zakk snickered. "Heh heh, I get the South Park dude? Sweet."
"All right, next on our agenda…"
Richard's name and picture appeared on the screen.
"Richard will be…"
Richard crossed his fingers. "Game character, game character, game character, game character…" He muttered under his breath.
A picture of a ticket appeared on the screen. "No one!"
Richard looked up, shocked. "What?"
"Congratulations, Richard! You win one of two free passes out of the challenge." Blaineley grinned.
Confessional:
"Okay, so we might have rigged it when we saw how much Richard wanted a video game character." –Blaineley O'Halloran, The Hostess
Richard sighed, sitting down. "Dude, I'll take the immunity if you don't want it." Lucian offered.
"Nah, it's okay." Richard shook his head. Lucian snapped his fingers.
"Darn."
"Next, we will assign…"
Lindsay's name and picture showed up on the screen.
"Lindsay! You will be…"
The drum roll occurred, then stopped as one of the main female characters of South Park appeared on the screen. "Wendy Testaburger from South Park!"
"Ooh, I love Wendy! She's sooo cute, I love her hat!" Lindsay giggled, clapping her hands.
Zakk blinked.
Confessional:
"If memory serves me right, d-didn't Wendy kiss Cartman in one episode…?" He grins, and then slaps himself. "Dude! You've got a girlfriend!" –Zakk Blythe
*buzz*
"Wait, I think her hat is called a beret... Right?" –Lindsay Blake
Samantha's name and picture showed up next on the screen. "All right, Sammy here will be…"
The drums and the rolling, it occurred. Blaineley just loves it.
"Lisa Simpson! From The Simpsons! Obviously!" The name and picture of said vegetarian Buddhist appeared beside Samantha's.
"I-it'll be hard to get my hair like hers…" Samantha muttered, brushing the top of her hair with her hand.
Emily's name and picture appeared next on the screen.
"Now Emily here will be…"
I think Blaineley gets some sort of joy from the drum rolls.
"Meg Griffin from Family Guy!" Do I even need to explain the concept of the name and the picture? I'm sure you know it by now.
"I always did like her hat…" Emily commented.
"Good for you. Now we have…"
Leola's name and picture appeared on the screen. "Leola as…"
Now to quote DJ Jazzy Jeff, 'drums please!'
"Leliana from Dragon Age!" Blaineley announced, the redhead bard appearing on the screen.
Leola raised a brow. "Who?"
Richard, who'd been sitting beside her, smiled. "Dragon Age is quite the fun game! Don't worry if you need help Lee, I know how Leliana acts."
"Thanks, Rich." Leola smiled back.
Briana frowned at the two.
Confessional:
"The way I see it, Leola is a strong player who might be able to ace this challenge with gamer boy on her side. Since she doesn't know who this Leliana from Dragon Age is, she's going to have to rely on Richard." She taps her chin with her finger. "Now, if I can distract Richard from giving Leola pointers, then maybe…" She grins, "maybe I can get Leola eliminated from the game!" –Briana Galvan
*buzz*
"I'm always happy to help with video games, any video game. Dragon Age was quite the fun game, as stated previously, and I kind of had to have Leliana in my party everywhere I went – instead of being a rogue, I went for being a warrior with a sword and shield. Leliana's a rogue, so I needed her to pick my locks. It'll be no problem helping Leola with her challenge, since I'm out of it." –Richard Vic Birge
"Now next, we have Christoph as…"
The drum rolls occurred once more, with feeling.
"SpongeBob SquarePants from the cartoon of the same name!" Blaineley announced.
"This should be easy enough." Christoph commented. "I mean, who doesn't know who SpongeBob is?"
"Now next, Lucian here will be…"
I have no sarcastic and witty comment for the drum roll here, sorry to disappoint.
"Peter Griffin from Family Guy!" The fat, chuckling dad appeared on the screen beside Lucian's picture.
"Will I have to wear a fat suit or something…?" Lucian raised a brow.
"Yes." Blaineley smirked.
Lucian sighed.
"Now next, we have Briana as…"
Still nothing sarcastic and witty, maybe next drum roll.
"Yuna from Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2!" The name and picture of the cheerful summoner appeared beside Briana's.
Briana stared. "Um… I've never played Final Fantasy X… or any of the Final Fantasies, for that matter."
Richard spoke up. "I'll help, if you want."
Briana smiled genuinely before an idea crossed her head.
Confessional:
"Wait, wait, PERFECT!" She grins. "If I can keep Richard busy helping me with my challenge, it's a win-win situation! Leola will fail the challenge and get eliminated, and he can get me off the chopping block! All I have to do is make sure that Richard is helping me and not the androgynous chick." –Briana Galvan
"Now who will get immunity from the challenge? Will it be Bunifa Latifa Halifa Sharifa Karifa, who is up to be assigned now, or will it be Bridgette, who is up next? Let's find out!"
The drums occurred. Say woot.
"Immunity!" The picture of the ticket joined the picture of Bunifa.
"Congratulations Bunifa Latifa Halifa Sharifa Karifa, you and Richard receive immunity from elimination and you don't have to compete in the challenge!" Blaineley congratulated.
"Say what? Say woot, woot!" Bunifa cheered for herself.
"Now, all we have left is to assign Bridgette!"
The drums were rolling.
"Bebe Stevens from South Park!"
Bridgette rubbed her shoulders. "I may have seen South Park like once or twice in my entire life…"
Confessional:
"I've just never been into shows like South Park or Family Guy or The Simpsons. My mom is, though – I usually just leave the room if one of those shows are on and surf or something." –Bridgette Lake
"All right, that's everyone! Nobody change just yet – everyone meet me at the Auditorium of Blainerific Awesomeness in twenty minutes while you get ready your voice impersonation." Blaineley said. "Ciao! I'm looking forward to seeing how you do." She added, leaving the room and heading towards the Auditorium of Blainerific Awesomeness. Chef followed closely behind.
"Richard! I could use some help with Yuna's character…" Briana spoke up almost immediately, trying to sound as innocent as possible.
"Oh, uh, sure." Richard scratched the back of his neck.
"Great, thank you! Come on, I want to be able to know what to say…" Briana said, ushering Richard to follow her out the door before Leola could add in her own two cents.
"Hey, wait!" Leola called, too late as both of them were outside already. "Oh… okay, I'll just wait here… And figure it out myself… No problem…"
"Um, yo, the Confessional is for mumbling to yourself, not here." Lacey the intern commented, causing Leola to scowl.
"Fuck off, Lacey."
.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"Now, to save time because this episode has been pretty delayed already," Blaineley spoke from the judge's table, sitting besides Chef Hatchet, "we planned on having all of these teenagers do all of these relays at once. First they will do the voice impersonation, and then they will quickly change and model themselves."
"Whatever, as long as this episode finally gets on air." Chef Hatchet rolled his eyes.
"First up, in her outfit of Roxanne Ritchi from Megamind, we have Angie McLine!" Blaineley announced.
The dark haired girl stepped out from behind the curtains, not looking too pleased to be back on the cosplay stage once again. She cleared her voice, "Good evening, Metro City! This is Roxanne Ritchi with your evening news, reporting live from the 'Dedication of Metro Man' Museum!" Angie said in a good voice, quite similar to that of the animated reporter.
Chef Hatchet and Blaineley clapped. "Nicely done, Angie! Now, please go dress in the Roxanne Ritchi outfit…"
Angie nodded, quickly going backstage. A few moments later, she came back out in a blue pencil dress with black high heels, her hair pressed to the side of its head. She modeled herself in the outfit, twirling herself around in the dress.
Chef and Blaineley nodded, a little impressed. "Thank you Angie! That will be all." Angie nodded and left the stage, taking her place in the audience. "Next we have Emily on the stage!"
While Emily was on the stage performing her act (yes, the authoress will not show it) Leola was still extremely confused about her part, and Richard had yet to show her anything!
Confessional:
"Okay, so Richard hasn't shown me anything at all yet!" She groans. "I know he's helping out Briana but it feels like she needs help with every single detail! And the worst part is, I think he enjoys being useful so much that he wants to tell her everything, every single detail, so he feels even more useful! Aww…" –Leola Ringer
*buzz*
"I've never felt more… I don't know, useful? – till now! I mean, now my encyclopedic knowledge of video games – as Jacky once put it – is finally coming in handy! I mean, wow!" He laughs, then stops. "Wait… I can't help but feel like I've forgotten something…"
The door is knocked on. "Richard! I need your help with that hair thing that Yuna wears! What colors was it again?"
"Just a minute, I'll be right there to help!" He turns back to the camera. "Best challenge yet! For once I'm not a worthless loser!" –Richard Vic Birge (featuring Briana Galvan)
*buzz*
"Having Richard distracted from helping Leola is only step one – to ensure that she's the one going home tonight, we need her distracted as well so she can't remind Richard about whoever Leliana is. That's where my new 'friend' comes in at." –Briana Galvan
While Angie was backstage, putting away her Roxanne Ritchi outfit, Briana grabbed the girl's arm. "Briana, what – "
"I have a job for you." Briana interrupted, once the two were out of hearing range. "I'm distracting Richard right now so that Leola can't be helped in this challenge." She began.
Angie gasped. "You're trying to get her eliminated?"
Briana rolled her eyes. "Duh! Now, since you're my little helper – "
"I already told you I don't want any part in your schemes, Briana! I'll stay quiet about you, but I'm not helping you vote my friends off!" Angie protested.
Briana released her grip on the girl's arm. "All right, Angie. Let's have it your way. You don't have to help me."
Angie's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Really!" Briana smiled a dangerous smile – both sugar coatingly sweet and holding malice. "But, I can't ensure that, should you decide to quit, a little secret of yours won't just… make its way around camp…"
Angie moaned. "N-no…"
"We've been through this. You said earlier you would stay in this. What's the matter, huh? Change your mind again?"
Angie sighed, contemplating for a moment. "W-what… what do you need me to do…?"
Briana grinned. "Distract Leola. Any way you can. Be creative!" She then scowled. "Now go." Just before Angie left, Briana spoke again. "Oh, and Angie?"
Angie turned to face her again. "If you breathe a word of this scheme to anyone, and I mean ANYONE…" Briana made a slicing notion across her throat.
Angie sighed miserably. Fuck this game, seriously.
.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"Next up we have Lucian Sanders as Peter Griffin from Family Guy!" Blaineley said, leaning back in her plush red chair.
Lucian walked onto the stage, the audience unsure of how he was going to pull this off. Lucian took a deep breath, closed his eyes… then opened them again…
"Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh!"
The voice of the laughter may not have matched Peter Griffin's signature laugh exactly, but darn it was close.
The audience stared…
Stared some more…
And then…
"!" Everyone laughed at the laugh that Lucian had laughed (say that three times fast).
Blaineley was still chuckling. "Heh… Bravo, Lucian! Bravo!"
Lucian bowed, his face red but a grin plastered on his face.
"Now, the costume, if you would please…?"
"Sure." Lucian smiled cheerfully, despite this being Blaineley he was talking to, and went to put on the Peter Griffin outfit.
When he emerged, he was dressed in the costume quite well – white shirt, green pants, glasses. However, it seemed that he went the extra mile and instead of just using the "regular outfit" like most contestants would, he found the fat suit version of this. With this amazing piece of acting helper on, he was a total fatass, just like Peter Griffin.
The audience, once again, burst into good hearted laughter.
"!"
.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"Next up we have Leola Ringer as the bard Leliana from Dragon Age: Origins!" Blaineley announced.
Backstage, Briana smirked evilly.
Also backstage, Richard's eyes widened as he realized that he had failed to teach Leola ANYTHING concerning the redheaded bard…
Angie, who had been talking with Leola, instantly felt a tremor of guilt as she saw Leola's blue eyes widen in horror. "Oh fuck, fuck, FUCK! What am I going to do…?" She moaned.
The animal lover hated herself instantly, for a lot of reasons. For being so weak against Briana's scheme, and so cowardly. To bring herself to hurt Leola like this, and no doubt also Jaydee in the process…
"I…" Angie was unable to say anything as Leola reluctantly stepped onto the stage, preparing herself for the humiliation that would follow.
The entire audience stared as Leola stood on the stage, waiting for her to do something… anything!
"I… I, uh…" Leola stared for a few minutes, her pink cheeks swiftly turning a shade of Ronald Weasley's hair.
Then, without another word (or rather, stammer), she turned and ran off the stage, right past Briana.
Leola did, however, stop to look at Angie for a few seconds. Angie's breath caught in her throat, the butterflies in her stomach that were usually gone on vacation suddenly returning to a house warming party.
Without a word, Leola continued – straight out of the building and into the girls' cabins.
Back in the audience, everyone stared in confusion. "Well… uh…" Blaineley exchanged a glance with Chef. "Can someone go check on Leola? I think that, uh, she could really use it…" She muttered, showing one of her softer and more concerned moments.
Emily nodded, taking the responsibility into her own hands as she was already done, and went to find Leola.
"It appears that Leola will not be performing, but as we say, the show must go on!" Blaineley said in the microphone. "The next person to go on stage will be Briana Galvan as Lady Yuna, cosplaying the outfit from Final Fantasy Ten rather than Final Fantasy Ten Two!"
.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Backstage, Richard, who hadn't been given much time to feel sorry thanks to Briana, held the teenage girl's phone in his hands. "So, you just want me to play the Hymn as soon as you go on stage?" He asked, the phone hooked up to a speaker via cable, the Hymn in question ready to be played at any moment.
Briana shook her head. "I'm sure that Blaineley will say something about my using this accessory before actually dressing up – when I say that it's 'needed for this act', that's when you play the song, okay?"
Richard nodded. "Okay…" He said, less enthusiastic then he could've been.
"Good!" Before leaving, she gave him a hug. "Thanks for everything, Richard!"
Richard still didn't look too happy. "Yeah…"
.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Briana walked onto the stage, carrying Lady Yuna's signature staff in her hands.
The audience muttered to each other. "Uh, Briana, the staff is supposed to be used with the outfit – " Blaineley said.
Briana shook her head. "Well Blaineley, it's really needed for this act." Blaineley nodded, waiting for the scene.
As on cue, the Hymn of the Fayth made famous in Final Fantasy Ten and its sequel played on the speakers. To the music, Briana began to dance.
Her body bended and flowed with the music, the staff in her hands twirling when needed.
Almost instantly, everyone in the audience had their hearts touched by the dance and the song. It was slow, pure sounding, and at the same time, reminded everyone of death and loss.
Blaineley held her hands together, looking down as she remembered her mother's funeral, the day her father died, and just about everything else.
Christoph was reminded of his mother's death, and of the crap he had suffered through his father. He groaned, holding his head in his hands.
Lucian was reminded of his parents dying and his grandfather's sickness, his grip on his knees tightening at these thoughts with his head down.
Samantha thought of the day her mother died seven years ago on that horrible day at the bank…
Angie sighed, remembering the day she received news that her father went missing in action.
Bridgette sighed, remembering the day that her dad died, leaving her alone with her mother.
Even Lindsay sniffed a little, thinking of her favorite grandma and how she died.
The Sending dance lasted for about two minutes before Briana was finished, holding the staff in her hands upside down. (1)
Basically, everyone had some of their worst memories brought back to them.
The audience had been stunned into silence, and Blaineley was too choked up with her own pushed inside grief to say anything for a few moments. "T…thank you, Briana… Now the outfit, please."
Briana quickly returned backstage, emerging moments later dressed in the outfit that Yuna wore in Final Fantasy Ten.
The audience, now feeling a little better, clapped politely. "Thank you Briana." Blaineley said, herself and the audience more or less over the emotion inducing dance.
"Next on stage we have Lindsay Blake as Wendy Testaburger from South Park!"
Lindsay walked onto the stage, feeling more cheerful than the scene before. Instead of the epic fail that had occurred in the previous episode, she managed to say four words (a pause in between) that was pretty okay. "Hey Stan!"
Pause…
Lindsay then reacted as Wendy normally did when Stan threw up at the sight of her. "Eww, gross!" She said, jumping back in disgust.
The audience chuckled at the scene. "Good job Lindsay! Now the Wendy Testaburger outfit, if you please…"
"Sure, Bretta!" Lindsay smiled, going back stage and then coming back with the Wendy Testaburger outfit on: consisting of a purple jacket, yellow skirt, and purple beret.
"Good job Lindsay!" The audience politely clapped as Lindsay went back to the dressing rooms, later rejoining the audience.
"Next on stage we have Samantha Lyle as Lisa Simpson!" Blaineley announced.
Samantha walked on stage, taking a deep breath and folding herself into the lotus position, or rather, a Buddhist prayer position. "I take refuge in my Gurus. I take refuge in the Buddhas. I take refuge in the Dharma. I take refuge in the Sangha." She spoke clearly, her eyes closed.
The audience stared for a moment, some not getting it. Samantha blushed, and then spoke as she was done with the prayer. "I… L-Lisa Simpson was a Buddhist…"
"Ohhhh." The audience exclaimed with realization.
"Ah… thank you for clarifying that, Samantha. I personally prefer Family Guy but that's just me… Now the outfit, please…"
Samantha came back onto the stage, moments after she left, in the Lisa Simpson outfit.
"Thank you Samantha! You can go back into your normal clothes now." Blaineley smiled. Under her breath, she muttered, "I swear it's the only thing these kids ever wear…"
Raising her voice, Blaineley continued. "Next up we have Bridgette Lake as Bebe Stevens from South Park!"
Bridgette walked onto the stage, her face having a suggestive tone on it. "Mmm, mmm! Wendy, you agree with me when I say that Kyle has a nice ass, right? I mean, damn! What an ass!" She was a little reluctant as first to swear, but went along with it and the guilty pleasure that went with it. (2)
The audience laughed at this display of behavior not common in the sweet surfer that was Bridgette.
"Hee hee… now the outfit, Bridgette?" Blaineley said.
Bridgette returned to the stage after leaving in Bebe's signature outfit: a red coat with beige trimming and black jeans.
"Thank you, Bridgette!" Bridgette smiled at how easy the task had proven to be and returned to the dressing rooms. "Next we have Zakk Blythe as Eric Theodore Cartman, who's also from South Park!"
Zakk walked onto the stage, taking a breath before putting on his most dementedly serious look possible, sticking both middle fingers out at the audience, and practically screaming in a Cartman esque accent, "RESPECT MAH GOD DAMN FUCKING AUTHORITAAAAAH!" Both middle fingers had tattoos on them, viewable at the distance between the stage and the audience only if you had a really good pair of eyes.
The audience burst into laughter at Zakk's display, even Blaineley. After a few moments of good, solid laughing, Blaineley wiped away a tear and spoke, a chuckle still in her tone. "Hee hee… Okay, that was clearly pretty good, Zakk – "
"You bet your fucking ass it was!" Zakk interrupted, still in the Cartman accent.
"Now, for the Cartman outfit!" Blaineley said, for once not irritated at getting interrupted. Tragically, her good mood couldn't last, thanks to Zakk.
"Say please." Zakk said, a cocky smirk on his face.
"I don't have to." Blaineley scowled in irritation.
"Why not?" Zakk raised a brow, totally feeling like a troll.
"Because." Blaineley said stubbornly.
"Because why?" Zakk pressed, having quite a bit of fun with pressing her buttons.
The contestants looked back in forth between the mother and son, all clearly amused (except Leola, who still wasn't present).
"Because I'm the host." The blonde hostess sighed.
"Or are you?" The Southern rocker inquired.
"Wha – that's just stupid." Blaineley scoffed.
"So is your face." Zakk said immaturely.
"So is YOUR face!" Blaineley yelled, now riled up.
The two argued for about two minutes before Blaineley won and Zakk went and changed into the Eric Cartman outfit.
"Thank you, Zakk." Blaineley said in a low, growling tone, all previous amusement gone.
"You're fucking welcome, bitch." Zakk scoffed, leaving the stage to go change back into his normal attire.
"Okay, last, but not least, is Christoph Farbos as SpongeBob SquarePants!" Blaineley said, returning to her usual hostess tone.
Christoph skipped onto the stage, already in character as far as SpongeBob went. "I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready!" He said in that annoying sing song tone SpongeBob always used before Blaineley finally intervened.
"Jesus Christ…" She muttered, holding her ears before raising her tone. "Thank you – THANK YOU!" Christoph stopped. "Now for the SpongeBob outfit, please…"
Christoph left the stage, before so briefly considering going into a Zakk style argument with Blaineley, but ultimately deciding it wasn't worth the trouble. He came back onto the stage in a giant SpongeBob outfit, waving his hand inside the costume.
Lindsay gushed in the audience. "Aww, he's so cute! B-Brenna, can I hug him?"
"No." Blaineley replied coldly.
"Aww…" Lindsay snapped her fingers, scowling.
.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"I have finished scoring!" Blaineley announced, everyone now back in their regular clothes and sitting in the audience. Even Leola was there, however reluctant she was to be.
"About God damn time." Zakk muttered.
Blaineley scowled before turning back to her papers. "I think it's pretty obvious that the winner, with her amazing and touching dance, is Briana."
Angie groaned quietly, clapping only as to not cause suspicion. Guilt churned like butter in her stomach for helping this she devil – both for being so cowardly concerning her secret of eliminating Adam, her own blood kin, and for aiding her against her friend Leola.
"Thank you, everyone!" Briana said sweetly, taking a bow that only Angie could tell was mock.
"And the loser of today is…" Blaineley held the paper in her hands, taking a deep pause for dramatic effect.
Everyone waited for the answer…
"Not going to be announced yet!"
Everyone groaned.

The Elimination Ceremony
"On my tray, I have eleven glasses of lemonade. When I call your name, come up and claim your glass. Then proceed to raise it in a Pink style if you like." Chuckling at her own joke, she paused, waiting for laughter. None of it came. "Anyways… The camper who does not receive a glass of lemonade must immediately walk down the Dock of Shame, catch the Boat of Losers, and proceed to kindly get the hell out of here.
Zakk…
Briana…
Angie…
Samantha…
Bridgette…
Lindsay…
Lucian…
Bunifa Latifa Halifa Sharifa Karifa…
Richard…
Emily…"
It was down to Christoph and Leola – Leola, who failed to complete the challenge, and Christoph, who did a pretty good job and annoying Blaineley with his SpongeBob impersonation. Leola crossed her fingers while Christoph muttered a quick prayer…
"And the last glass goes to…"

…Christoph." Christoph looked at Leola apologetically while he went to claim his glass. Leola stood angrily.
"Like it was that big of a fucking surprise! God, fuck this show! Seriously!" Leola ranted angrily, stomping down the Dock of Shame and entering the Boat of Losers huffily.
Everyone stared for a moment: Angie with guilt, Briana with satisfaction.
"Wow, what a day! Things are heating up between the competitors for sure! How many ice packs will be needed to cool down Leola? Why did Richard forget to help her – "
"WHY ME?" Richard groaned, holding his head in his hands.
"And who will go home next time? Find out next time on Total… Drama… Blainerific!"

(1): In a nutshell, The Sending in Final Fantasy X was the summoner's way, and the tradition of that world, to send the dead to the Farplane (the world's afterlife). This was needed pretty much every time a person died because sometimes their souls would be full of angst at their death, not accept it, and linger on the earth, possibly becoming Fiends (monsters). Thus, it was required in case someone didn't accept their death. To see the dance, go to YouTube and type in "Final Fantasy X Sending", you'll more than likely find something. Furthermore, I recommend this amazing game for the PlayStation 2: my favorite of the Final Fantasy series.
(2): To fellow fans of South Park who watch the show religiously like I do, you'll need no explanation. But for those who don't; in one episode (I forget the title, sorry), Bebe had a crush on Kyle, mostly because he had a pretty hot ass. :P
I have a question for you all challenge wise with a stupid story to start it off: I recently went to see Final Destination Five in theaters, and… it was beautiful. I seriously loved it – especially the character of Molly. She was freaking awesome. Plus, the premonition in this movie was fairly realistic, at least as far as Final Destination goes. My question, anyways… I have been planning a challenge concerning Final Destination for this show. However, since we already had a Saw themed horror movie challenge, I now give you all two choices that shall impact the show:
Should I write a Final Destination themed challenge this season and have a second horror movie themed challenge? Or should I save this challenge idea for being the horror movie themed challenge next season on Total Drama Blainetastic?
The deadline for this is until the next chapter comes out, so be sure to give answers quickly! Oh, and, heh, don't forget to include a review!
