Yuki's Face Paint: A Dango on the left, and a Tulip on the right

This episode, we start off the Mikoshi Cart Race!

MATSURI!


Chris is on the Dock, ready to give the intro. He is wearing a Japanese kimono for some reason.

"Last time, on Total Drama Dictionary…"

"Our campers went into the Virtual World again, this time, going after video game's toughest bosses yet! …Okay, we had the usual Airman and all that. Anyways, special props goes to Tina going after Giygas, and not sweating a beat! Anyways, the Shrimp win the challenge, and the Kumquats went to the Campfire. And Vikki was the next one voted off."

"Anyways, 12 Campers remain. Who will be the next one off? Stay tuned, for this exciting episode, of…"

"Total!"

"Drama!"

"DICTIONARY!"

(Cue I wanna be Famous…)


Killer Kumquats, Boys Side

Ross, Isaac, and Nerdi were talking amongst themselves.

"…And that's the reason the moon isn't made of cheese!" Isaac replied.

"Really? It isn't, meow?" Nerdi asked.

"Sorry, Nerdi." Isaac said.

"Damn. There goes my chance of using moon cheese for my recipe book, meow." Nerdi replied, as Luka and Kagura came into the room.

"Luka!" Ross came up to Luka, as the two shared a kiss.

"So… I'm guessing you didn't want us to be lonely, huh?" Isaac guessed.

"Well, that, and there's a strange smell coming from our side of the room, Isaac-kun." Kagura replied.

"That, and Selena wanted some time alone. Who knew she was Vikki's friend?" Luka said.

"Well, Vikki was a popular camper. She was in the Top 10 in Camper Rankings, overall!" Isaac replied.

"Then who's winning?" Ross questioned.

"Well, meow , the polls are showing you, Whitney, and Hannah winning overall. You're a really popular camper, Isaac!" Nerdi said.

"Me… popular?" Isaac asked himself.


Confessional: Well, Isaac almost got a spot in a fanfic sequel…

Isaac: I never thought I be this popular… Guess people really love an underdog, huh?

Nerdi: (She is carrying various Isaac merchandise) I am SO selling these on eBay! Also, the Snuggie company is thinking of making a snuggie with Isaac's face on the back, meow!

Ross: I was ranked high in the Ranking. I kinda feel… warm and fuzzy, to be honest. Knowing my cousin, if she got on a reality show, she would accuse someone of being a pervert. I was not a pervert, Megan! I ONLY LIKED THAT PUNK GIRL'S PIERCINGS THAT I SAW IN THE GROCERY STORE, AND GAVE HER A SMALL COMPLIMENT! GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD!

Luka: I was in the top 10 rankings, too. Guess, like Hannah making Goth cool again, I'm making punk cool again, somewhat. Also, being an animal lover helps too, I guess?

Kagura: I had a ranking high enough as well! But… Why is Selena ranked in the low numbers? She seems SO sweet!

Selena: I was ranked… LOW?! I should be first! Not no geek like Isaac!


Scurvy Shrimp, Boys Side

Maxwell was looking at his blue feather, while laying down. Kanata was laying on his stomach.

"So… I should use this when the time is right?" Maxwell said.

"Yep! I'm sure you'll be able to win Tina's heart! In fact, I'm sure you will!" Yuki replied.

"Hey, Ethan?" Bob asked. "You think you might find a girl?"

"Well… I do have a love in mind. But I can't say her name without blushing…" Ethan said.

"That girl wouldn't be someone whose name is associated with a certain weather event happening in wintertime?" Maxwell asked.

"Um… Well… Not exactly…" Ethan replied, trying his hardest not to blush.

"Well, I did promise to find you a girl, but…" Yuki said, frowing. "…The only one left is Selena, and I can't find any compatibility between you two."

"Well, whatever the costs, you tried your best." Ethan replied. "Who knows? Maybe I'll be an intern for the next Total Drama? Or what if there's a TDD 2?"

"Yeah, maybe you're right… I shall hook you up with a girl, yet!" Yuki said, smiling.


Confessional: Or maybe the one you're hooking up is meant for YOU, Yuki?

Yuki: I kinda feel bad I couldn't hook Ethan up with someone on camp. But there's always the sequel! Now… (She takes out an Ethan doll, and a posterboard marked "Letterz") Okay… Him and Daisy? Don't see it happening. I would had failed on that front, complete with a G Minus.

Ethan: I wish I could tell Yuki how I feel about her. She's been around for everything! When she was hooking me and Jeanette up, she cheered me up when I lost Jeanette, when she was explaining her backstory… But how do I tell her that I love her?

Yuki: Ethan/Xyly? Could work, but I'm having second thoughts. Ethan/Imanda? Plausable, but I wanna explore more options…

Bob: So, Maxwell's gonna try to hook up with my sis? GO FOR IT! After what she's been through, a nice person like Maxwell is what she needs!

Yuki: Ethan/Quarla? She would snap poor Ethan like a twig, or a Kit Kat bar!

Maxwell: Tina… She is so lovely… I would give up my manga just to be with her!

Yuki: Ethan/Alice? …Excuse me while I vomit.


Scurvy Shrimp, Girls Side

Tina was thinking about something.

"You guys get the feeling that tomorrow is gonna be exciting?" Tina asked.

"Well, I did get that feeling the day I hooked up with Isaac. You think…" Whitney replied.

"Nah, I just imagining things." Tina replied.

"Anyway, here's hoping tomorrow isn't TOO exciting!" Hannah said.

"Yeah, last time that happened, Isaac collapsed from being too hot. I don't want anything to happen to you guys…" Whitney replied.

The girls then thought of something else to do…

"So… poker game?" Questioned Tina.


Confessional: Poker Night under the Air Conditioned Kotasu!

Tina: …And I lost with every single hand. Note to self; never visit Vegas in the future.

Whitney: The heck? I ended up with Royal Flush after Royal Flush! I totally didn't cheat!

Hannah: Whitney's a real card shark, huh?


In the middle of the night a couple of balls of light appeared in the Boy's Side of the Shrimp's Cabin. The balls then materialized into two angels, both male and female, and in their late 30's, early 40's. The male angel looked like he came from Japan. The female angel looked nearly like a more grown up version of Tina.

"So… this is Maxwell, huh?" The female angel commented. "He's such a sweet kid."

"So… Shall we?" The male angel said.

"Yeah, let's." The female angel were about to jump into Maxwell's dream consciousness…

"Yawn… Totally not eating fried oysters before bed again…" Maxwell replied, as he saw the two angels. "Wow, who are you guys?"

"Relax, Mr. Maxwell… We're angels from the Afterlife. More specificly, we're Tina's parents." The male angel said.

"Cool, so you're Mr. and Mrs. Tina… I assume since Tina is currently parentless, she doesn't have a last name?" Maxwell asked.

"Well, we haven't did any research. But I would assume so." Tina's Mom said.

"Anyways, we came to tell you, you'll be one lucky kid someday… Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not the day after, but someday." Tina's Dad replied.

"Lucky… Hmm…" Maxwell said in deep thought.

"Well, we came to deliver this message! And…" Tina's Dad said, shooting a ball of light at Kanata, Bob, and Ethan.

"Okay… What did you do?" Maxwell questioned.

"Trade angel secret. You'll understand once your time comes." Tina's Mom said. "Later!"

The two angels then turned back into balls of light, and suddenly disappeared.

"…Trade angel secret? Yep… Still totally not eating fried oysters before bed." Maxwell said, before going back to sleep.


Confessional: Another angel appearence?

Maxwell: By lucky, what do they mean? Still, nice to meet Tina's parents… Well, her birth parents, anyway.

Bob: I was in the middle of another nightmare involving my parents, until suddenly; I was taken into another dream involving seafood. I really adore seafood! It's so awesome and yummy to eat!

Ethan: My dream involved spy espionage… Yuki was my partner. Weird, since I don't dream about spies and such.

Kanata: It dreamed about a Hamburger island! Complete with a bacon volcano! If this is a dream, I don't wanna wake up!


Early the next morning, the Campers were in the Mess Hall, having breakfast. Except for one of them.

"Hey, where's Selena?" Ross asked.

"Beats me, she said she was going to take a walk by herself. Hope she has a good time!" Isaac answered.

Meanwhile, in the Scurvy Shrimps, Boys Side, Selena was currently busy plotting her next plan. She was looking at Maxwell's manga bag?

"Hmm… My next plan to take out Tina… Maxwell likes these useless things. And knowing him, he'll save his manga first, before he saves Tina! Then… Tina will be medievaked out, and Maxwell will quit out of grief! It's a glorious plan!" Selena said, before the intercom started to blur to life.

"Attention, campers! It's time for our next challenge!" Chris yelled into the intercom.

"Dammit… Well, I can always see what the challenge is, first…" Selena said to herself. Unknown to her, a certain sockpuppet was hearing every word.


Confessional: Manga or Girl?

Nerdi: Selena seems to be up to something EVIL, meow!

Selena: Tina's gonna be going home! Tina's gonna be going home! You know, maybe I should SHOVE her off the cliff! It may be nerdy, but I snagged one of Alec's transformation potions before he left. If I transform into Maxwell, she'll think it's the real one! This'll be perfect!


Somewhere, on camp, Chris was ready announce the next challenge. He was decked out in Japanese robes. Behind him looked to be parts to a cart, or some sort.

"Greetings, campers! And welcome to your next challenge!" Chris said. "Anyways, can you guess what I am dressed for?"

"Cool! You're in a Japanese robe!" Kagura explained.

"Right you are, Kagura. Now, then… Time for some learning!" Chris replied. "Now, then… Besides Kagura, whoever heard of Matsuri?"

Maxwell raised his hand. "It's a Japanese festival devoted to bountiful harvests."

"Correct you are, Maxwell! Here's some Koala's March, made 98% of real kolala bears!" Chris said, tossing a small box at Maxwell. Luka gave Chris a disappointed look.

"Now, Chris, you shouldn't lie to the audience like that…" Luka replied.

"Besides, they're not really made from Koalas. These are really good!" Maxwell said, passing it to everyone to take a bite.

"Anyways, to get the attention back to me… There's usually a race involved during Matsuri. Your task, is to build a Mikoshi, or portable shrine, carry it to a specific place, pick up your team's statue, and race back here! First team's Mikoshi back here with the statue in place, is the daily winner! Any other questions?" Chris asked.

No one raised their hand.

"Oh, and one more thing! Since we're going for the whole shebang, everyone is going to dress the part! So… Everyone get in your Happi coats!" Chris said, as Chef passed out several colored coats to the teams.


Confessional: Happi Coat is Happy! Get it? No? Sigh…

Maxwell: (He is in what appears to be a blue coat) I always wanted to wear one of these!

Isaac: (His coat is in the same style as Maxwell's, but red) These things reminded me of snuggies. Wearing this shouldn't provide any difficulties.

Selena: (She is in her) Damn you, Japan.

Hannah: (She is in her coat as well) Okay, I admit… This is rather comfy! And unlike the Fear challenge, I get to wear my regular clothes underneath! Now… Where can I find a kimono with skulls in the middle of the flowers?


Before the challenge, Kagura went up to Tina.

"Well, my Japanese sister… I wish you best of luck, Tina-chan!" Kagura said.

"Thanks. Good luck as well, Kagura!" Tina replied, as they shook hands.

Meanwhile, Selena was watching…

"Yeah… Good luck indeed, Tina!" Selena thought, as she hid a Portal gun behind her back.


Scurvy Shrimp

They were in the middle of building their cart. Maxwell was currently reading the instructions.

"They say, the Mikoshi is usually carried by four people. Meaning… only four of us need to apply for carrying it." Maxwell said, before turning to Hannah. "Hannah, if we get too far behind, you think you can take the wheel?

"You got it!" Hannah said, saluting.

Ethan was currently starring into space, as he went into another daydream…

It was the school festival, and Ethan and his friends were in Japanese kimonos. Ethan was going to ask the idol of the school, Yuki, on a date. All of a sudden…

"Ethan? You feeling okay, sweetie?" Yuki asked, snapping Ethan out of his daydream.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Kinda nothing to do until racetime." Ethan replied.

Yuki smiled. "Yeah, I know that feeling of boredom…"


Confessional: Who doesn't know that feeling?

Yuki: Usually, when I'm bored, I draw. But I don't have my sketch pad right now, so… Yeah.

Bob: I assume I'm kinda useless for this challenge. Oh, well. At least the Happi coat is comfy, right?

Whitney: Too bad this isn't a real Japanese carnival. I would then try to win a plush for Isaac.


Killer Kumquats

"Okay, since we're just five people, we only have to sit one person out." Ross explained. Selena suddenly got an idea.

"OOOOOHHHHH! My stomach!" Selena said, while holding her stomach in fake pain.

"You okay, Selena?" Luka replied in concern.

"I think I had a bad batch of… Sorry, guys. I gotta sit this one out." Selena answered.

"It's okay, just head back to our room, and lay down for a few hours, kay?" Kagura answered.

"Will do…" Selena said, as she walked away. As soon as she was out of sight of them, she smiled cruelly.


Confessional: Setting up plot, perhaps?

Selena: And those fools never realized a thing… Time for step 2! Operation Manga Drop!

Kagura: I hope Selena is all right…

Ross: Well, we still have four people. That's good enough, right?

Isaac: I never really did something like this, before. If I do win, I'm taking Whitney to one of these Matsuris in Japan!

Luka: After all what is said and done, with help from Kagura, we finished our cart. Now, the real fun begins!


Cliffside

Managing to sneak past the challenge, Selena was currently carrying a green gym bag, and smiling cruely. She looked at what appeared to be a chibi anime character on the zipper, and unhooked it in disgust.

"So long, anime and manga! May the GODS have mercy on your soul-less soul!" Selena says as she throws the bag of manga over the cliff!

Selena then smiled again. "Now… to hide until Tina arrives, disguise myself AS Maxwell, and… presto! Tina is long gone, Maxwell is most likely disqualified, and… I'm one step closer to the million!"

Unknown to Selena, the bag of manga managed to snag itself on a branch on the cliff. And is slowly snapping…

(Cue Eyecatch?)


Uh-Oh… Selena has thrown Maxwell's manga off the cliff, and without Maxwell knowing! How will Maxwell react when he hears that news?

NEXT TIME: The Mikoshi race begins! And a Hook-Up as well!
