A/N: Just to add to the imagery, if any of you are aware of Hbi2k's Gantz Abridged, there is a character in this chapter who I am basing solely on. Also, this pair of chapters are the reasons why I halted the voting for, you'll understand why. And finally, I may allow you all to vote for up to 2 girls on the poll, haven't decided yet. Anyways, enjoy!

Chris "Last time on Total Drama Luxury Tour… Siberia… here our shipmates had to tread through the wintery snowstorm of the Siberian tundra to the South Russian shores! We brought a certain fangirl back into the game, and our lovable loser, Cody, fled from the ladies like there's no tomorrow. Ultimately, it came down to a tiebreaker between the geek and Alejandro. Alejandro, wanting to take Cody down a peg, viciously beat down the poor kid in front of everyone. It really was in bad taste, if I do say so myself. Coercing Tyler into voting Lindsay off, Alejandro's plan backfired when the guilty jock withdrew from the competition as well. Will Cody's harem put their differences aside in toppling the Latin Mastermind? Find out here on Total… Drama… Luxury Tour!"

*cues theme music*

**Cody**

Cody awakened from oversleeping after what happened to him in Siberia. The geek then noticed his broken arm in a tight cast. Shamefully, he rests his head backwards, reflecting on letting everyone down. The depressed geek sighs and finally gets up, ready to face the music. Losing the use of his right arm will probably get in his way during future challenges and it would only be a matter of time before he becomes a liability for everyone else. Stepping out of the doorway, Cody walks down the ship halls which were surprisingly quiet. As he wandered the silent corridors of the boat, he pondered on what to say the girls. Alejandro mopped the floor with him. That was crystal clear. He not only beat Cody, but he humiliated and injured him, all in front of the girls who just recently confessed their feelings to the geek. As Cody looked out a window, he sees that the ship had already made port. Immediately alerted, he rushed outside of the ship to see everyone already talking with Chris.

"Look who's awake" The host greeted the geek.

"Cody!" Sierra happily ran up to him with the rest of the girls.

"How are you feeling?" Gwen asked the wounded geek.

"Hehe, been better" Cody gave her his gap toothed grin, "Where are we now?"

"We have returned to Tokyo, Japan!" Chris announced, "For today's challenge, we will be having ourselves a Japanese Souvenir Scavenger Hunt! Each person must gather from a list of several knick knacks found in the Land of the Rising Sun! Some may be harder to find than others. You have the entirety of the day to search. First person to gather everything wins invincibility!"

Each person is given the list. Cody is the last person to receive one as he reaches for it with his one usable arm.

"Need a hand?" Alejandro chuckled, "Oh my, that was terrible…" The Latin Arch Enemy smugly walked off to begin his search through the Japanese marketplace.

Cody only sighed and made off in his own direction, leaving the five girls to plan Alejandro's downfall.

"Okay, to defeat Alejandro, we must put aside our petty squabbles and focus on beating him in this one challenge" Heather instructed.

"How?" Courtney asked.

"We only need to turn in one list of souvenirs to prevent him from getting invincibility, if we all pitch in and put all our findings together we can win!" Gwen optimistically said.

"What about Cody?" Bridgette asked.

"Well, since you four can probably do the job yourselves, I can watch over my Codykins!" Sierra happily volunteered.

"No way," Gwen objected, "Sure, taking out Alejandro is our first priority, but we're not leaving Cody in your hands!"

"What if he gets hurt, again?" Sierra angrily asked back.

"How 'bout this," Bridgette proposed, "We take turns looking after him in alphabetical order. I'll look after him the first three hours, then Courtney, then Gwen, then Heather, then Sierra!"

"Why do I have to be last?" Sierra angrily questioned again, "Wait, why are we including Courtney and Heather? Heather doesn't like Cody and Courtney is just using him to get under Gwen's skin!"

"That's true" Gwen pointed out.

"No it's not!" The CIT interjected but catches herself, "I mean… fair's fair! I go after Bridgette!"

"Heather? Mind forking over your three hours?" The surfer girl asked.

"Like Courtney said, fair is fair. And I need breaks too" the queen bee stubbornly informed.

"Fine then, let's break!" Bridgette ordered as the girls scattered.

**Alejandro**

The Latin mastermind sees the first thing on his list in the Japanese marketplace, "Alright, a Japanese silk fan!"

"That will be twenty-one hundred yen!" The store owner informed.

"Chris did not inform us that we had to buy these ourselves…" Alejandro said, trying to keep his cool.

C.C.

Alejandro "¡Que estúpido, engañoso, bastardo!"

**Cody**

Cody looks at his list with his one usable arm, "Hmm… let's see here, I guess I'll search for a Japanese Lantern first.

"Cody!" Bridgette runs up to him.

"Hey Bridge…" The geek nervously said while unaware of where this would be heading.

"Since this is one of the few types of challenges that allow us to actually explore the destination, I was wondering if you'd like to spend some time enjoying the place with me" the surfer girl offered.

"But what if Alejandro collects his stuff first?" the geek questioned.

"Don't worry about him. Us five girls are working together to beat and eliminate the jerk" Bridgette assured.

"I guess that would be fine then. What did you have in mind?"

"Well I'm sure you didn't have time for breakfast, if you want, we can go get something to eat" the surfer girl offered.

"Okay"

The two enter a sushi restaurant. The cuisine was the ideal choice since it was easily adaptable to a vegetarian lifestyle.

"Would it be more comfortable for you if I had mine served vegan style too?" Cody asked after they get seated.

"Don't worry about it, it's only a personal choice" the surfer girl assured.

Once their meals were served, they began eating their Japanese dishes quietly. As they consumed their sushi, the silence got more awkward as time persists.

"So… umm…" Cody nervously decided to break the ice, "Hehe… glad they accept CAD here, huh?"

"Come on, Cody. We're close enough for you not to feel so indifferent" Bridgette sweetly says back.

"Sorry, this whole thing is a little new to me" Cody gave her is patented gap toothed grin.

"I'll start then, Cody as you know, I like you a lot" Bridgette said, no longer wishing to beat around the bush, "I know things are getting a little complicated for you right now and I want things to go the pace you want it to"

Cody shyly rubs the back of his neck with his one working arm, "I just don't know what I should do with all of this. I mean, I always liked all of you, but I didn't know you all felt even more so towards me"

"Just hear all of us out, no one could blame you for that"

"I guess…"

"Cody, despite the past seasons always separating us, I sincerely think we'd be perfect for each other. You're one of the sweetest and gentlest boys out there and that's what I always wanted from a guy"

"Bridgette… I don't know what to say" The geek was at a loss of words like always.

"Just tell me what you honestly think of me"

Cody gives out a deep breath, "Bridgette, you are also one of the nicest girls I know. When I needed emotional support, you were there for me the most. I hope I was able to return the favor enough times in your time of need as well, especially when you lost Geoff. And don't forget that promise I made to you about replanting the cut trees in Alaska. I really like you Bridgette. I just don't know the right way to express it yet"

Bridgette smiled at him, "Cody, since our three hours together are almost over, it will be Courtney's turn to look after you in your injured state. But before we part, I want to be able to leave this into your consideration"

"Leave what?" Cody asked.

The surfer girl got up from her seat and approached the geek. She kneeled down to his seated level and gazed into Cody's teal eyes. Bridgette then wrapped her arms around him and lifts him to her level in a warm hug while avoiding putting pressure to his cast. The surfer girl gently presses her lips against his for a short but sweet kiss before releasing him from her embrace. Cody was as silent as ever as he sat back down with a now red face. Bridgette did the same and sat back on her seat as well.

"Thanks for the breakfast Cody" the surfer girl graciously said.

**Gwen, Heather, and Sierra**

"Found the next one!" Gwen yelled to the other two as she brings them a clay figurine of a cat.

"Okay, we now have a fortune cat, Japanese lantern, wind bell, and sushi candle" Heather informed as she read from the list.

Sierra looked at her watch with dismay, "Bridgette's time with Cody is almost up…"

"And Courtney is heading over to them now…" Gwen said with equal disdain.

"Calm down, you'll each get your turn" Heather assured with her own displeasure.

**Alejandro**

"Hmm… I have my silk fan, geisha pottery, and wind bell. I better hurry, I sense a disturbance…" the Latin Arch Enemy tells himself.

**Cody, Bridgette, and Courtney**

Bridgette waved goodbye to the injured geek as the CIT walked past her. Courtney gives a subtle glare at the surfer girl before smiling back at Cody.

"Hi Cody, ready to go?" the CIT asked.

"To where?" the geek asked back.

"I'll decide" She said as she grabs him by his one usable arm and pulls him in her direction.

After practically getting dragged across the city, Cody is brought up Tokyo Tower. The geek is taken to the Main Observatory Level. The two then share a table overlooking the massive city. The geek quietly looks around in the initial awkward moments of the "date."

Finally, Cody broke the silence and asked, "Courtney, I really need to know, are you only hanging out with me to get back at Gwen?"

"Cody, go get me a Venti, triple-shot nonfat, sugar-free, cinnamon dolche latte, with whip at the tower café, now!" The CIT ordered, changing the subject.

Cody, not one to argue, complied and went to get the ridiculously lengthy named beverage. He continually reminded himself the exact order over and over so the C-I-T doesn't kick his A-S-S. Eventually, the geek brings her the described latte.

"Hmm…" Courtney inspects her drink heavily, "a little light on the cinnamon… but it's a start"

Cody sighed in relief.

"Well you take direction well, that's number thirty-one"

"Thirty-one of what?" Cody asked.

Courtney pulled out a folded out stack of papers from her pocket. "Number thirty-one of my sixty four page list of all your faults as well as suggestions on how to correct them"

"Umm… okay… well I am impressed you can fold sixty four pages into a small enough square to fit in your pocket. Let's see what you got" The geek nervously said as the CIT hands him a stack of the list.

"The highlighted ones are top priority" Courtney informed.

"Hmm…" Cody examines the list, "Bulk up? I guess that's a given. Change my hairstyle? As long as it's not a Mohawk. Bridge the gap of my teeth? That's iffy"

Courtney eyed him suspiciously as the geek optimistically read through the first page, "Are you mocking me for being too bossy?"

"No, it's just a lot to swallow at once with this" Cody responded with a gap toothed grin.

Courtney just gave a depressed look to the ground, "Why are my manner so unappealing to others? I just want a perfect boyfriend, that's all…"

"Hehe, maybe I can try to memorize it for you" Cody chuckled, "Then I would be a little less flawed"

"You idiot…" The CIT said in frustration, "This isn't about the list… nor Gwen… I know you have been listening in on me crying since Naica. And you've gone out of your way since then to cheer me up without any attempt pity me in front of others… I don't want to change anyone… I just want someone who will like me for the type A person I am…" the CIT confessed.

"Courtney I…"

"I know we never really gotten along Cody, but you took blow after blow of my abuse and you managed to handle it in stride while at the same time helping me through it. I just…" As she poured her inner demons out, tears soon follow, "I wanted to thank you, but I'm not, nor have I ever been, one to express myself to others… I can't show weakness Cody… I just can't…"

Cody smiled at the stubborn CIT, "There's nothing wrong with you, I still think of you as that smart, confident, and independent girl from the island. I know you won't show weakness, but I've noticed enough slipups to know that deep down there's plenty of kindness in you. You've just been hurt too many times to show it. Besides, I never really hated that bossy outside part of you either"

Courtney looked back at the geek before reaching for him and tugging him towards her across the table. The CIT leaned forward and gave a firm peck of osculation. Despite how strong the kiss was, Cody did not feel the least bit uncomfortable by it. After releasing him from her grip she just stubbornly picks up her list.

"I suppose I can cross a few things off" the CIT said informally.

Cody, once again, reverted to his blushing, quiet state.

**Heather, Bridgette, and Sierra**

Bridgette is only smiling since her date ended with the geek, much to the other girls' disdain.

"Great… now Gwen is getting her turn…" Sierra angrily muttered as they find their geisha statue.

**Cody, Courtney, and Gwen**

Courtney cheerfully hummed as she walked past Gwen, who only glared back at her. The goth then continued onwards to spend her three hours with the geek.

"Hey Cody"

"Hi Gwen" the geek kindly greeted back.

"I saw the perfect spot to visit on my way here" Gwen informed as she took Cody by his one usable hand and leads him to the designated location. After leading him for an hour to his next stop, they found themselves at what it appeared to be an inn.

"Where are we?" the geek asked.

"We're at an onsen!" Gwen informed.

"What's that?"

"A Japanese hot spring inn" the goth elaborated.

"I… uh… didn't bring my swim suit" The geek informed.

"Hadaka no tsukiai" Gwen responded enthusiastically.

"What?"

"It means, naked communication"

Cody blushed nervously at the implication as they entered the inn. After paying for their stay at the lobby, the two proceeded to the back of the building where the locker rooms were.

"Umm…" Cody was a little nervous asking, "Where is the divider between genders here?"

Gwen chuckled to his shyness, "What's the matter, where's the little pervert we all know and love?"

"I… uh… full nudity is kind of a stretch from my normal routines of smelling hair, making off with undergarments, and tricking others into touching digging into my rear pockets…" The geek confessed.

"Well it's co-ed here, besides, I've seen you naked before" Gwen friendlily reminded on the Amazon experience.

The pair went into separate locker rooms to remove their clothes but then reunited at the springs outside. The nude geek nervously blushed, trying not to stare to long at the wrong places of the naked goth.

Gwen only smiled back at his shyness, "I knew there was a reason why you never tried using your X-ray glasses on us last season"

Cody nervously chuckled as they both stepped into one of the hot springs. For both of them, it was more relaxing than their Jacuzzi back on the ship. Fortunately for Cody, his cast was waterproof so he could continue enjoying the steamy water. After a while of soaking in, Gwen scoots closer to the geek who was now beat red.

"We've been through a lot together, haven't we Cody?" Gwen tells the geek.

"Yes'm…" The blushing geek concurred.

"Way too often I took you for granted and ignored all the selfless acts you did for me since back on the island. But telling you here and now, that it means so much all you did for me at my best and worst times…"

Cody stops worrying about the awkward moment in time to regain seriousness for the conversation, "It's no problem Gwen…"

"Yes it is, Cody… I know there were so many times I've hurt you. I never let you down gently on the island. I never considered your feelings when I started dating Duncan. I manipulated your attraction to me in Australia, unknowingly sabotaged you in Newfoundland, and ultimately betrayed you in Romania. Even so, you never turned your back on me and always gave me that extra shoulder to lean on. Cody… I know I don't deserve you after all of this, but after all I done with Trent and Duncan… I lost everything. I need you Cody…"

The geek looked up at her and said, "Gwen, if we were still on the island, this decision would be a whole lot easier. But fate has a twisted way of complicating things. I admit, after Romania, I was finally set on letting you go, but there was never a time where I didn't want you to be happy. I was fine entrusting you with Trent because he's an all around good guy. As for Duncan, I thought I would try my best to cope as long as he would make you happy, however he was different and I am glad for you that it's over with him. But would being with me really make you happy? I don't have the talents that Trent has, nor do I have the rebellious bad-boy attitude Duncan has"

Gwen took a second to ponder before then lifting the geek's chin upwards. "I'll take that leap of faith," she said as she pressed her teal lips against Cody's. While maintaining her hold on him, Cody blushes even redder as her pale naked body pressed up against his. Caressing his body, Gwen then releases her lips from him and rests her forehead against his, "This was all long overdue…" Gwen softly whispered to the geek.

Later, the two stepped out of the hot spring and got dressed. As they stepped out of the inn, Gwen hugged Cody once again, "Please don't give up on me, Cody" The goth then parted as the geek watches her leave.

**Sierra, Courtney, and Bridgette**

"This has been the longest twelve hours of my life…" Sierra whined.

"Got the sake cups!" Bridgette hollered to the other two.

**Alejandro**

The Latin Mastermind overheard the surfer girl and went to see her progress. He sneaks behind one of the stands. Noticing how the girls were working together, the Latin scowls. Suddenly a Japanese Salaryman approached him.

"Hey, aren't you from one of those Chef's Total Drama Yum Yum Happy Go Time Candy Fish Tails?" he asked.

"You are mistaking me for someone else…" Alejandro told him.

"Yeah… you were in that monster one, I love those candies, but they give me diarrhea"

"Go away!" The frustrated Latin angrily fled.

"Wait, I had some ideas to pitch for more commercials!"

Alejandro ran from the salaryman so he could figure out how to beat the female alliance.

C.C.

Alejandro "Sorry ladies, but I'm not going anywhere…"

Suddenly, he hears a knock outside the confessional door, "How about the monster fights a giant fish tail?"

Alejandro "HOW DID YOU GET HERE?"

**Cody**

The geek nervously awaits his next company. In no time at all, the next girl approached him.

"Hey, Heather"

**Chris**

Chris turns to the camera "What is this? The bachelor? Eh, at least these girls have personality. Will Cody make his decision? Will Alejandro elude the salaryman stalker? Find out when we return here on Total… Drama… Luxury Tour!"
