Crag's interesting fact: Kasimar's surname was originally Tarsh (because it can be rearranged to spell trash) but I changed it to McSkeen because in my opinion it has a sadistic ring to it. So Kasimar's full name is Kasimar Horace McSkeen. Bet you didn't know that!
Note: Milestone reached! As of this chapter I have officially overtaken Total Drama Comeback in the word total. And I still have eleven episodes to go which includes the one you are reading now. In fact; I'm wondering if I might be the very first person in the Total Drama Fandom to have a story that tops the five hundred thousand word mark. I am proud that I have come this far in writing the story; it actually doesn't seem that long ago I started it … but enough talking! You came here for cheap laughed and some romance and drama … and receive it you shall. On with the show!
Do not argue with an idiot; he will only end up dragging you down to his level.
Chris Maclean stood on the dock of shame late at night; it was day eighteen of Total Drama Letterz and less than half of the campers remained. Chris also has a T shirt on with a crudely drawn picture of Mario … Chris probably made it himself.
"Last time On Total Drama Letterz. The final thirteen took part in a pinball challenge … though it wasn't like they actually had a choice or anything! Haha! The campers went in a random order in the ever fair method of picking coins out of a hat … and I hate fairness! It makes for bad television and therefore bad ratings and a reduced paycheck!"
"Some of the campers did really good like Kasimar, Barney and Xaria who was much to my surprise actually good at something for a change. But there were also campers who didn't do too well such as Quana and Nakia; the latter flat out sucked! Haha!"
"A lot of drama happened; far more than any episode; two, count them two, campers received injuries. Spider and Mable were both sent to the infirmary; spider lost consciousness because he pushed himself too hard, mainly because of the weight paranoia Kasimar duped him into. This caused Quana to perform not that well when she had a go due to her worrying about her dumb cripple of a boyfriend; haha!"
"Mable's injury was not only more series but it was dramatic and funny too … better not let Andy hear that. Kasimar adjusted the bumper power to maximum and Mable was sent flying out of the pinball table and into a boulder where her ball smashed leaving her with a shard of glass stuck in her leg. Nakia said this was no big deal, justifying it because Mable's hair was bad. Lavender called her out on it and even swore at her."
"While Kasimar, Xaria, Barney, Lavender, Uzuri and Tabitha won immunity the other seven were fair game at the bonfire ceremony. Andy was by Mable's side while Chef removed the glass. After some bonding both confessed their love and they hooked up. Yuck! How gay!"
"Quana came to see Spider; he admitted his weight paranoia and Quana sappily comforted him and told him he wasn't fat and that she still loves him. When will these teens learn that romance is bad for TV? Unless some of them have sex on camera which would be really good for ratings!"
"At the bonfire ceremony the atmosphere was tense due to all that had happened throughout the day. I had only twelve marshmallows to give out; soon enough everybody besides Mable and Nakia had one. Mable because of her injury and Nakia because nobody can stand her."
"Much to Andy's sadness it was Nakia who got the final marshmallow which meant Mable was voted off. Thirteenth in the alphabet and thirteenth place … weird. After a warm goodbye Mable left the Island and left Andy more determined to defeat Tabitha and Kasimar despite Tabitha somehow being horrified at what Kasimar had done. Grow a backbone girl!"
"Who will be the next camper voted off? Is Mario better than Sonic? Will anybody else get hurt? And will Kasimar kill anyone? Find out right now on Total Drama letterz!"
(Theme song; I wanna be famous)
Andy felt depressed as her lay in his bunk. Sure; he and Mable were a couple now … but Mable had been voted off. Andy felt both Tabitha and Kasimar were to blame. Nakia was nasty too but she lacked the brain power to pull something like this off. When morning arrived Andy was going to confront Tabitha about everything. Maybe she'd feel remorse … and maybe she'd just attack him. But Andy wasn't going to let it slide this time; she and Kasimar had gone too far. It had only been a couple of hours since Mable had left the Island and Andy already missed her very much indeed. Her funky blue hair, her playful and kind attitude, her supportiveness…
"Are you ok Andy?" Asked Jimmy from the other bottom bunk. "I can't imagine what you must be going through … losing your girlfriend the day you've hooked up with her … and the injury … you have my support my friend."
"Thanks Jimmy." Said Andy with a very small smile. "But you're right; I feel sad and quite depressed. Why did she have to go? Why couldn't it have been Nakia?"
"I'm sorry Andy." Said Jimmy in shame.
"What for?" Asked Andy.
"I … I voted for Mable." Admitted Jimmy. "I did so because of her injury and I thought she'd get better at the playa … but already I regret it deeply."
Jimmy looked like he expected Andy to swear at him but Andy nodded in understanding.
"It's ok Jimmy; only one of is going to win in the end … and to be honest you probably did the right thing." Sighed Andy sadly. "I just wish she could have healed and stayed here as well."
"Cheer up Andy me heartie." Said Barney supportively. "Mable may be gone … but she's probably thinking of you at this very moment; wishing you the best of luck and loving you with all her big heart. Love always finds a way savvy? Mable's gonna be cheering you on … I know Lavender would for me as I would for her."
"You're right Barney … but I just can't get the image oh her bleeding on the sand out of my head." said Andy with a shiver.
"Keep moving forward me heartie." Said Barney supportively. "If you focus on what you've left behind you'll never see what lies ahead; treasure what is happening in life ... it's called the present for a reason yaaar!"
"Thanks Barney; I feel a little better now." Smiled Andy.
"No problem; I am an A student at philosophy." Smiled Barney. "And I bet Spider is feeling better too."
"Where is he anyway?" Asked Jimmy due to Spider's bed above him being without an occupant.
"Oh; he's spending the night with Quana." Said Andy with a chuckle. "After that whole paranoia about his weight he's going to need some love and support. He lost two whole pounds!"
"Yikes! That's not healthy." Said Jimmy sounding quite worried. "And … what about Nakia? She hates Spider … I'm not sure why though … but would sleeping in the same room as her be a good idea?"
"Not to worry cabin boy; Quana and Eleanor threw her out earlier." Explained Barney. "Yep; it must be nice to be Spider; a good cuddle with your girlfriend, yohoho!"
"Hey; I just realized." Said Jimmy suddenly. "You, Andy and Spider all have girlfriends … I'm the only one on the team without anyone. But then again I am only ten."
"I wouldn't worry about it Jimmy … love will usually come when you least expect it." Said Andy kindly. "And that means when you aren't looking for it."
"Then again…" Said Barney in thought. "Eleanor is only two years older than Jimmy … maybe Jimmy could make out with her?"
"Barney!" Blushed Jimmy in embarrassment.
"Just saying." Chuckled Barney.
"Man … it has been quite a day." Said Andy wearily. "I'm gonna get some sleep. Good night guys."
"Goodnight Andy; sweet dreams … of Mable." Teased Jimmy.
"Sounds nice." Mumbled Andy as he lay his head down in his pillow to sleep.
"Final twelve though; and all four of us guys made it." Said Barney positively. "I think I have a shot a winning … but you guys do as well."
"Thanks Barney; good night." Said Jimmy sleepily.
"Same to you me heartie." Replied Barney.
Confessional: When in Rome … become Russian.
Barney: Its clear Andy misses Mable … I'd feel the same if Lavender was voted off savvy? I hope me heartie recovers from the emotional blow soon … but at least Spider is going to be ok. (Barney raises his eyebrows up and down).
Andy: I miss you already Mable … this contest has suddenly gotten a lot less bearable. But don't worry; even if it takes a lifetime I'll make Kasimar and Tabitha pay. I just wish you were here… (Andy sighs sadly)
Jimmy: Me and Eleanor? Naw; I don't think that would happen. I'm too young and besides; she probably has no interest … though her eyes are pretty … crud! Edit that out!
Chris: No! No I will not! Haha!
Spider was feeling much happier and at ease than he had in a few days. For one thing he now knew he wasn't fat and that he never had been. Quana had also told him she'd love him even if he was. And maybe, just maybe, the fact that he was currently in Quana's bed with Quana snuggling up to him had something to do with his good mood. Before you, yes you, get any ideas, both of them were in their pajama's.
"So Spider; how are you feeling?" Asked Quana with a cute smile.
"Like a million *cough* bucks." Replied Spider; though Spider was being sure to turn away whenever he needed to cough.
"Maybe you'll get a million bucks in less than two weeks." Smiled Quana as she cuddled up to Spider. "But as long as Kasimar and Nakia don't win I have no problem with whoever wins the money."
"If I win the money I'll *cough* split it with you; I *cough* promise." Said Spider honestly. "I think five hundred *cough* thousand dollars would help me get cured of *cough* a lot of my illnesses."
"And five hundred thousand dollars could help me enter the singing world … and maybe we could take ourselves and our families to Paris or something." Said Quana wistfully with hope.
"We could also bring Kasimar *cough* to court; I swear he deserves to go *cough* to jail." Said Spider. "And I really don't *cough* like how he leers at you."
"I don't like it either." Muttered Quana. "But his luck is going to run out eventually … and when it does I'm hoping he'll get some sort of humiliation that everyone in the world will see."
"Like breaking down *cough* in tears?" Asked Spider.
"Maybe." Giggled Quana which made Spider's heart flutter.
"You know; you have an *cough* adorable giggle." Said Spider which made Quana blush.
"And you have a cute way of scratching your sides when you're nervous." Flirted Quana.
Quana leaned in to kiss Spider but after just a moment of lip contact they heard a small giggle from the other side of the room. Spider and Quana parted and saw Eleanor looking at them in amusement with a smile.
"My oh my; you two look very comfy over there." Giggled Eleanor. "Forget I was here did you?"
Spider and Quana blushed in embarrassment as Eleanor stretched out tiredly.
"Sorry about that Eleanor." Mumbled Quana sounding embarrassed. "We'll behave if you want."
"It's fine guys; cuddle all you want." Shrugged Eleanor as she lay down and faced away from them. "Who would I be to stop such a happy couple from getting some alone time?"
"If you're sure." Smiled Quana as she lay back down beside Spider. ".,..It sure is peaceful without Nakia in here isn't it?"
"Yeah … I wonder where she sleeps when we throw her out." Pondered Eleanor. "I'd feel quite bad if she wasn't so mean to Spider."
"Same here Eleanor, same here." Replied Quana as she rested her head against Spider and closed her eyes. "Good night my little arachnid."
"Sleep tight my *cough* Hispanic beauty." Replied Spider as he gently stroked Quana's strawberry scented hair.
After a few minutes of silence Quana was asleep. Spider smiled at his sleeping girlfriend and turned to Eleanor.
"Yesterday I heard *sneeze* some fighting going on in *cough* here." Said Spider nervously. "What happened?"
"Nakia is what happened." Grumbled Eleanor as she took off her turtle hat and swished her blond hair a little. "She said something to Quana that was very uncalled for which resulting in Quana and her fighting."
"Oh dear … what did Nakia say?" Asked Spider expecting some sort of hair relating insult … but why would that upset Quana?
"She … she called Quana a … Hispanic horse." Said Eleanor timidly. "Quana was really upset."
"… That's nasty." Frowned Spider. "What did Quana *cough* ever do to Nakia?"
Spider frowned angrily before sighing sadly.
"But its not *cough* like I can do anything about *cough* it." Said Spider in regret. "To tell you *cough* the truth … Nakia scares me a *cough* little."
"Don't worry Spider; it just takes some people longer to stand up to bullies." Comforted Eleanor. "You'll stand up to Nakia when you're ready."
"…Thank you Eleanor." Smiled Spider gratefully. "Good night; sleep well."
"Good night Spider." Replied Eleanor as she settled down and began to doze.
Spider settled himself down and gently embraced Quana while going to sleep in response Quana snuggled closer.
Confessional: Sleep tight but not too tight or you'll find yourself unable to breath!
Spider: Am I a weak person *cough* for being unable to stand up to *cough* bullies? Quana says I'm not and I *cough* trust her … but I feel like a coward. (Spider lets out an angsty sigh). Well; at least having Quana close *cough* to me is soothing.
Quana: Spider has some self esteem problems. It comes from having so few friends and being kind of an outcast. Popularity is meaningless; what will it do for you in the adult world huh? Well I aim to break Spider's insecurities and make him more confident and esteemed … the first step? Getting Nakia to stop bullying him.
Eleanor: Dandelion has begun making a nest in the bedding area of her cage; just a few more days and the babies will be here! Eeeeeei! I wonder what I should name them. Hmmm … I'll have to think about that. Gosh; I just love cute little animals. Teehaha!
Chris: Maybe I should joke about ferret pie to upset her … kids crying on TV is great for ratings! Haha! Good one Chris.
Chef: Chris disgusts me sometimes … I wonder why I ever considered myself partners with that guy. He wouldn't last in NAAM; let alone a twilight fan girl get together.
Lavender and Xaria lay on their beds in silence. Not only had Kasimar escaped elimination again but he had gotten Mable eliminated. It was bad enough that Mable had been a good friend of Xaria's and Lavender's best friend … but she had ended up actually bleeding with a shard of glass in her leg. It could have been worse … but Lavender and Xaria now hated Kasimar even more than they already did.
"This is depressing." Said Xaria to break the silence. "Another of our room mates is gone … and out of our Team its just me … you … and Kasimar left. Mable was in such pain and Kasimar actually found it funny … that's just sick."
"I know … and Mable could have very easily been even worse off. That glass could have slither jugular vein … if that happened … No! Better not think about it." Gulped Lavender. "Well … Mable's gone now and we can't do anything about it…"
"Besides castrating and murdering Kasimar." Chuckled Xaria darkly.
"We'd be no better than him then." Said Lavender regretfully. "You know … after breaking a contestants legs, pushing another to a bear and, well, doing that to Mable it's a wonder how he hasn't been disqualified yet."
"Did you read your contract all the way through?" Asked Xaria. "I admit I didn't read all of mine…"
"Me neither … I mean; I read most of it … but I was tired at the time and I really needed a cup of coffee. How I regret not reading it all." Said Lavender as she clenched her fists.
"Chris can do anything he wants to us that is covered on those contracts because we sighed them ... was coming to this show a good idea in the first place?" Grumbled Xaria. "I've had a jalapeño stuffed in my mouth and been forced to be on the same team as a psychotic bully and I frequently get called bumble bee by Chris. A million couldn't even begin to compensate."
"Well it hasn't been all bad Xaria." Said Lavender with a smile. "You did become a more open and friendly person … and you met Oscar didn't you?"
"Yeah … I guess that's true." Said Xaria with the faintest of blushes before sighing. "But Oscar is now voted off and I'm still rotting on this crappy island with an equally crappy host."
Confessional: And also crappy food.
Xaria: Oscar … I really miss you.
"Well you've still got friends; never forget that." Comforted Lavender. "And its only about ten or so days until the contest ends and by that time Kasimar will have gotten his comeuppance … and I'm hoping somebody will humiliate Chris too."
Confessional: I'm hoping so too.
Lavender: And if Chris ends up having his #bleep# cut off then I say so much the better!
"Thanks Lavender; you're a true friend." Said Xaria as she closed her eyes; breathed in and breathed out. "I just want Kasimar to be voted off and I'll be able to rest easy. Words cannot describe how much I hate him. My parents say it isn't right to hate somebody … but I can't help but feel just that about Kasimar; he's a madman, a maniac if you will."
"It's completely fine Xaria." Assured Lavender. "After all … err … you've had experience with people who aren't so nice … so I think you are more than entitled to show a considerable amount of disdain for Kasimar. I sometimes search my brain for a positive quality Kasimar has and my search always turns up empty."
"Same with Chris I'd imagine." Said Xaria still with her eyes closed. "I'm just wondering how Kasimar manages to get away with everything with no repercussions … he's like … a karma Houdini. He keeps escaping from getting what he deserves. It's always the same; the strong oppress the weak and get away with everything because they're hot, have money or because they're intimidating … I've seen it a lot."
"Not this time though. I swear that whatever it takes Kasimar is not going to win; I promise on my collection of crystals." Promised Lavender.
"Crystals?" Said Xaria without opening her eyes.
"Yeah; I collect them, you know, the gemstone type; I'm quite fond of jewelry." Explained Lavender. "My birth stone is actually a ruby; funny how its red and red is my favorite color."
"My birth stone is a topaz." Replied Xaria.
The two girls stayed silent for a minute or two.
"Good night Lavender; I'm gonna get some shut eye. Now that we've starting to get near the end of the contest the challenges are going to get even harder and more dangerous." Said Xaria as she turned over and went silent.
"Yeah … good night Xaria." Mumbled lavender as she glanced at the empty bed where Mable once slept.
Confessional: Goodbye our dear friend … we'll avenge you!
Xaria: Lately my dreams are the only place I am truly peaceful … who is Kasimar going to hurt next? I don't want to get beaten up … not again.
Lavender: Chris is a sick twisted little man for actually finding what Kasimar does to be funny.
Chris: Shut up you stupid idiot! Kasimar makes for good TV while you do NOT! Haha!
Speak of the devil and they will arrive. Kasimar was lying on his bed smoking a cigarette; he was starting to run low on them so he regretfully decided that he should smoke them less often.
Kasimar relaxed as he thought about his day; he'd upset people, dodged another elimination ceremony by winning immunity and he'd gotten somebody else eliminated. All in all a pretty good day in his twisted opinion.
Kasimar, disgustingly enough, actually found what had happened to Mable to be funny. Her whimpers and soft sobs of pain were music to his ears and he felt satisfied when he saw her walk the dock of shame on crutches. Kasimar was just plain sadistic; he truly enjoyed other peoples suffering. Kasimar knew some people would hate him after seeing him no the show but he didn't really care; he just had to get eleven others eliminated and he'd be rich.
"Lets see; fourteen of us gone and twelve remaining counting myself … I've played a pretty good game so far." Said Kasimar as he took a drag of his cigarette. "Broke the faggot chef's legs, got Raven's leg broken … and Mable won't be going to a glass factory anytime soon. Heh; I wonder who I should eliminate next."
Kasimar thought on this for a moment; Lavender was probably the biggest threat … but she was fun to upset so maybe she could stay, if only for a day or two. Quana was strong but Kasimar didn't want her to go because in his opinion she had a great ass and rack. Plus he enjoyed harassing her.
Kasimar shrugged it off; he'd let Tabitha decide. While Kasimar was reasonably intelligent he preferred to do the pummeling and violent actions and leave the planning to someone else … preferably somebody he could twist the wrist off if need be.
"The only bad things that happened were that Andy and Mable hooked up … and Bug doesn't have his weight loss paranoia anymore thanks to hot ass Quana." Muttered Kasimar as he took another drag of his cigarette. "Well … I guess I can just break his legs if need be."
Confessional: The villain speaks his mind.
Kasimar: Tabitha is useful for now; I admit I may have had more difficulty if not for her … but eventually I'm afraid I'll have to beat her up just like the others. They're my competition, barely, and must be treated as such.
Chris: Such wise words! Haha! Awesome!
Uzuri was in bed in her hot pink pajamas with a fair bit on her mind; she was thinking about what Andy had said about Tabitha. She knew it wasn't true and she would have voted for him had Tabitha not convinced her to vote for Mable out of kindness. Uzuri thought of Tabitha as her best friend and she didn't like being told lies. What Uzuri sadly didn't know was that this was not a lie; Andy had really been telling the truth.
"Hey Tabitha?" Said Uzuri after a few moments of no sound but their breathing.
"What is it?" Asked Tabitha from her bed.
"Andy talked to me today … he said that … well … you were using me." Said Uzuri hesitantly. "Why would he tell me that? I know you're not like what he said … so why would he?"
Tabitha, as always, was quick with a response, obviously an untrue response.
"Well Uzuri … I'd say that Andy wanted you on his side in an attempt to make more of an impact at the Bonfire Ceremonies so whoever he wants gone would be gone. And perhaps he wanted to take advantage of you." Lied Tabitha in an intentionally thoughtful voice.
"He did?" Said Uzuri sounding both hurt and angry. "But … he seemed genuinely concerned when Mable was hurt … and he seems to really love her as I do with Vinnie. And after what Kasimar did…"
Tabitha felt a great twinge of true guilt in her heart; she did know what Kasimar was capable of and she did order him to hurt Mable … but when Mable ended up actually bleeding with glass stuck in her leg … it was horrifying. Tabitha rarely felt guilt as her parents taught her that it represents weakness … but this time Tabitha felt a little shame.
"Well Uzuri … there's no doubt he has feelings for her; lot's of people have found love in this competition … maybe … maybe he just really doesn't like you." Lied Tabitha as she lay back down on her bed. "Nobody likes everyone; I have some people I dislike but Andy lying to you like that wasn't a very nice thing to do."
"Yeah; well, I'll settle it with him at the bonfire ceremony." Said Uzuri tiredly. "Right now I just want to go to sleep and have a nice, sweet nightmare. Good night Tabitha."
"Err … good night." Replied Tabitha uncertainly as Uzuri lay down to sleep.
Confessional: How can a nightmare be sweet? It isn't sugary! LOL!
Tabitha: (She looks confused). How can anyone enjoy a nightmare? I've had a fair number of them … they are anything but sweet! Boy; Uzuri puts the freak in freak show; did she get dropped on her head as a baby or something?
Uzuri: I love horror movies; they're so intriguing and soothing … but there is one movie I seriously don't like. Human Centipede; urgh! Whoever thought that disgusting mess up is just plain crazy and needs professional help!
A short while later Uzuri was sleeping soundly and Tabitha was getting ready to go to bed; this had been a fairly hard day and a nice relaxing rest would be good for her. As she settled down under her bed sheets there was a knock at the door. Tabitha looked up and saw Nakia standing outside wearing ruby red pajamas and glittery red slippers. Tabitha grumbled as she got out of bed and let her brainless and prejudice alliance member into the cabin.
"Let me guess; Quana and Eleanor kicked you out again huh?" Said Tabitha as she closed the door to prevent the cold outside air getting in.
"Yeah! How dare they; what's their problem?" Whined Nakia. "And to make matters worse Quana wanted to snuggle with that ugly bastard of a boyfriend she has!"
"Nothing wrong with wanting some special time with your lover." Mumbled Tabitha as she got back into bed to get cozy. "It's beyond me why you hate Spider so much … by any chance did you insult him or your room mates?"
"I just called Spider a walking bad haired stillbirth that his parents should be ashamed of." Pouted Nakia. "Its not an insult if it's the truth."
Confessional: Actually that just makes it insensitive.
Tabitha: Wow … just wow. Nakia is about as bright as a broken light bulb dipped in the toilet.
Nakia: (She is brushing her hair). I'm so pretty aren't I?
"Look … just forget about your hair obsession for a while, ok?" Said Tabitha wearily. "Its going to get you booted off this island; you seem to be good at really getting people upset."
"And I'm super smart." Boasted Nakia.
"Trust me Nakia … if not for me and my alliance you'd have been voted off instead of Oscar." Said Tabitha flatly. "Anyway; its getting late and I want to get some sleep before the next challenge. After today's events I'm feeling like I want to sleep for a whole twenty four hours."
"Fine." Shrugged Nakia as she climbed into the bed above Tabitha. "But its no big deal; Mable was a threat and besides; with such an ugly hairdo like she had she bought her fate upon herself really."
While Nakia settled down Tabitha lay in her bed and thought to herself.
"Nakia thinks Mable deserved that because of her hair?" Thought Tabitha in disgust. "She's as delusional as Buzz Lightyear was … she is very quickly wearing out her welcome and my patience."
Confessional: Thankfully Nakia can't discriminate against me because as an outhouse I don't actually have hair.
Nakia: (She is brushing her hair and singing). Everybody loves me, everybody loves me, Spider's a rat, spider's a rat, and my hair is so silky!
Tabitha: I regret to say that I need Nakia; I can have her vote with me and if I betray her she might reveal me to the others. I guess I'll make the best of a bad situation like I have done before.
The next morning the final twelve campers were awake and eating 'breakfast' in the mess hall; a good night of sleep had been refreshing but some campers still felt gloomy about the events of the previous day. But any way they looked at it the answer was always the same; Mable was gone and they would have to continue without her. For something was easy but for some (mainly Andy, Lavender and Xaria) this was a hard thing to do.
"I miss Mable." Mumbled Andy as he ate a piece of some unidentifiable food that had 'quarantine' written all over it in a metaphorical sense but because of his depression he didn't taste anything.
"Me too; she was my best friend along with Xaria." Said Lavender as she sat at Andy's table next to Barney.
"Cheer up me hearties." Encouraged Barney in an attempt to be helpful. "You'll see her again; the Playa has excellent medical treatment; you should know Andy."
"I guess you are right Barney; like you said last night, keep moving forward." Agreed Andy as he rested his elbows on the table and his head in his hands.
"At least we've got each other right savvy?" Said Barney in a cheery tone as he hugged Lavender; Lavender leaned into Barney's embrace and Andy couldn't help but smile for them.
Confessional: And you've got me too! How lucky can you get huh?
Andy: It makes me smile to see Barney and Lavender so happy together … looks like they'll get something good out of the show whether they win or lose. I wish I could hug Mable … once I get my chance I'm going to seriously have a word with Tabitha … she's such a 可怕的母狗!
Barney: I'm not only an expert at love but I'm a master at hugging as well!
Lavender: Well … Mable may be gone sadly … but I've still got Barney by my side. He's a whole lot smarter than he lets on you know.
Spider and Quana were sitting together eating breakfast; well, they had been but had stopped after the first spoonful due to the horrible taste. Currently they were simply talking to each other.
"So; did you sleep well Spider?" Asked Quana sweetly.
"Better than I have in *cough* the past few days." Admitted Spider. "With Nakia back I fear for my personal safety."
"Don't worry; I'll protect you." Said Quana as she glanced over at Nakia brushing her hair at a different table. "And I really think that she lacks the brain power to do anything more complex than dress herself in the morning."
"I know … but … it's *cough* just that she seems to really *sneeze* hate me when I've done nothing *cough* to her." Said Spider. "And being hated for little to *cough* no reason is a very nasty *cough* feeling."
"Don't listen to her Spider; she's just a little person with a LOT of growing up to do." Said Quana comfortingly.
"I guess so … but *cough* she really wants to make me suffer; and *cough* for what … my hair." Said Spider in disbelief. "I can't help that its *cough* untamable … and its about what a person *sneeze* is like inside; like that movie Shallow Hal … and *cough* the longer I stay here the *cough* more determined she will be to make me *cough* suffer."
Quana saw her boyfriend was looking upset and gave him a comforting hug.
"It's the circle of life and it moves us all; through despair and hope, through faith and love … make of that what you will." Said Quana soothingly.
"…Thanks Quana." Said Spider as he gave his girlfriend a peck on the cheek to which she giggled.
"That's what I'm here for." Said Quana kindly as she glanced at her food. "You know … I think I'm going to skip breakfast today."
"Me too." Agreed Spider. "I thought Chef's food was getting better but lately its been getting worse; maybe he's angry about something?"
Confessional: From the day we arrive on the planet … and blinking, step into the sun.
Spider: One of these days I'm going *cough* to learn how to stand up for *cough* myself. But it's easier said than *sneeze* done.
Quana: I never expected to fall in love on this show … but I guess none of us can see the future right? This show has been an overall great experience … and you know … I think I really have a shot at winning. But if any of my friends win I'll be just as happy as well.
Chef: I can't cook good food because Chris skimped even more on the food budget recently for more hair gel! Man that man has problems!
Chris: Shut up baldy!
Tabitha was leaning against a tree outside camp thinking to herself. She had come pretty far in the game, just like she thought she would. Only eleven more days and she would win the competition. While she had been mostly indifferent to what she had done she couldn't help but feel bad about what happened to Mable and disgusted with herself for allying with Kasimar.
Everything she had done had been purely strategic and nothing personal; other people in different reality shows had done worse. And Tabitha herself had never laid even a finger on any of the others. So why did she feel regret? Her parents wouldn't be impressed if they knew she felt regret; not at all.
"Just eleven more people to beat and I'll win." Said Tabitha while pushing out the feeling of guilt. "Uzuri is gonna have to go sooner or later … and Andy might be a problem. I guess I can decide based on who wins immunity and who doesn't."
Tabitha heard foot steps and put on a casual face; she turned and saw Andy walking up to her with a murderous expression on his face. Tabitha gulped as Andy stopped about a meter away from her.
"Hey Andy." Said Tabitha in an attempt to be casual.
"Cut the crap Tabitha; you've gone too far this time." Growled Andy. "I'm not sure if you realize it but that little stunt you pulled on Mable could have killed her."
"But Andy." Began Tabitha but Andy held up a hand to silence her.
"I never would have expected even somebody like you would go that far." Continued Andy bravely. "Is seriously hurting somebody worth a million dollars? What kind of parents raised you? Don't you know right from wrong?"
"Andy; it wasn't me!" Said Tabitha truthfully.
"You promise Mable would be hurt if I told anyone; I didn't expect you to fine out … but maybe you are indirectly responsible and told Kasimar to do it hmm?" Shot Andy. "Give me one, just one, good reason why I shouldn't just tell everybody what a nasty person you are and have you booted off this Island before you can say mars bar!"
Tabitha thought for a moment; maybe she could tell Andy the truth … maybe he would understand her plight. But then things would probably get even worse after the show. Tabitha's mind automatically made her decide on a tactic she had employed on people before.
"Because … if you tell anyone I'll make Mable homeless." Growled Tabitha.
"…What?" Said Andy blankly.
"My family is very wealthy Andy; and it has many powerful lawyers. I could easily have Mable's family thrown on the streets … of course; I won't do anything at all if you keep your mouth shut." Threatened Tabitha.
"…I guess I have no choice." Said Andy quietly before looking at Tabitha is hatred. "But I ask you this Tabitha … how long will it last? You may be seen as nice and thoughtful now … but sooner or later the truth is going to come out. What goes around comes around."
Andy turned and walked away but turned his head and said one last thing.
"And do you think your despicable actions are going to win you any friends? If I was your friend I'd be ashamed at myself." Said Andy as he walked away from Tabitha. "Show some remorse."
After Andy was gone Tabitha was left alone; after a few moments she let out a sigh.
"Karma doesn't exist; bad people never get their comeuppance." Mumbled Tabitha bitterly. "…I know from experience."
Confessional: Enemy defeated! Five hundred experience points awarded!
Tabitha: Andy has no idea… look; I didn't mean for that to happen to Mable, really I didn't. But the truth is the world is an unfair place and good people always suffer; this island is no exception. All of us are going to lose besides just one of us anyway; it's how reality shows work.
Andy: Back to square one; on one hand I can give Tabitha what she deserves but Mable will become homeless … on the other hand I can stay silent, Mable is happy and Tabitha might win … option two sounds better. Man; how do such bad people get onto reality shows anyway?
Chris: Because they make for good TV; man you're such an idiotic idiot you stupid idiot! Haha!
Barney had finished breakfast; well, he'd eaten what he could anyway as quite frankly is tasted like monkey crap. He was currently relaxing on the beach thinking about the competition so far and the great friends he had made during his time on Wawanakwa Island.
"Jimmy; the guys a really nice kid and I bet my hat that someday he'll make a girl very happy indeed yaaaar. I think him and Eleanor would go good together … but maybe that's just me. Kasimar had better leave him alone or he'll walk the plank into hell."
"Spider; he's a really nice guy who needs to be given a chance yaaar; Nakia should be ashamed of herself. Maybe if I shaved her hair it would humble her a bit. I'm proud to be the starting force of Spider and Quana's relationship. Both have a good shot at winning in my opinion."
"Eleanor; she's so sweet, I wouldn't be surprised if she went all the way … provided Kasimar doesn't mess with her yaaar. Her ferrets are adorable; I always did like small animals though I also have a soft spot for koi."
"Lavender; whoa. She's beautiful and smart … not only that but she can easily stand up to bullies and she's a goods leader. Me and her in the final two would be epic yaaar."
"Thinking about something Barney?" Asked Lavender as she walked up and sat down beside Barney.
"A few things Lavender me love." Said Barney as he sat up. "This, that, those … and you of course."
"Thinking about me?" Asked Lavender slyly.
"Not like that!" Said Barney quickly with embarrassment.
"I'm just teasing you." Smirked Lavender. "It's completely fair after you used reverse psychology to get me and Quana to kiss on a dare."
"You know you liked it." Said Barney with a genki grin and wiggling his eyebrows.
"You're so eccentric." Sighed Lavender before smiling. "And that's another reason I love you."
"True; I'm pretty darn irresistible yaaar!" Smirked Barney playfully.
"If you say so." Said Lavender to humor her boyfriend. "So … what do you want to do before the challenge?"
"How about we just watch the waves?" Suggested Barney.
"Sounds like a good idea." Smiled Lavender as she snuggled against Barney.
Confessional: Wave to the crowd!
Lavender: Ever since I met Barney I've grown a liking for pirates. (Lavender giggles).
Barney: Lavender gives cheerleaders a very good name; not like the ones you see in those American movies yaaar. I love this show me hearties!
As the campers went about their activities before the challenge of the day started the intercom crackled into life with an insidious screech. After the screech vanished a single second later Chris began to speak through it.
"Attention remaining twelve losers who are but mere footstools to somebody as great as me." Said Chris arrogantly. "Its that time of day again; that's right, it's time for your eighteenth challenge! And this one might actually be fun. After all; I'm going to make some big bucks from it! Haha! Everybody report to the amphitheatre for more details."
Chris stopped speaking but the twelve campers waited expectantly for his usual intercom screw up and sure enough it arrived very quickly.
"Gosh; these pink thongs are itchy but so dang comfortable … wait, is it on? Oh f-." Said Chris as he switched the intercom off in humiliation while all the campers laughed at the host's stupidity.
Confessional: Thonginator forty thousand! … That sounds like something Doofenshmirtz would probably say.
Barney: Yohohohohohoho! Snrrrk! Chris really has no common sense right me hearties? Snrrrk! (Barney continues laughing).
Lavender: (Quiet mumbling). So I'm not the only one. (Normal voice). Maybe Chris should let Chef do the announcements to save himself from further embarrassment. What an idiot!
Jimmy: I thought thongs were just for girls … on this show I learn something everyday. Chris really seems to common sense doesn't he? Heheehee!
Spider: Chris's mishaps always put *cough* a smile on my face. (Spider laughs).
Quana: Hahahahahahaha! Chris wears ladies underwear? He'll never live that down!
Tabitha: (She rolls her eyes). Ok; I admit that I did find that a little amusing.
Xaria: Snrrrrk! Sucks to be Chris!
Eleanor: (She is laughing in hysterics). Now that was funny!
Chris: No fair! The intercom isn't working right! I demand that be edited out or I'll castrate every single one of you!
Chef: Heheh! Chris wears thongs!
A few minutes of laughing later the twelve campers were seating on the bleachers by the amphitheatre. Spider and Quana were sitting next to each other holding hands as were Barney and Lavender. Uzuri sat next to Tabitha while Tabitha thought to herself. Kasimar was sitting alone at nobody liked him in the slightest bit. The others were sitting with their friends. After a minute or two of waiting for Chris, the sadistic bully of a host arrived and stood on the stage in front of the remaining campers.
"Ok campers; today's challenge is-." Began Chris but he was interrupted.
"How long have you been wearing thongs?" Called out Uzuri with a giggle.
"Are they comfortable yaaar?" Asked barney with a laugh.
"Shut up right now; I command you!" Roared Chris.
"Chris invented something a few days ago." Said Quana. "It was the Thonginator! Hahahahaha!"
"Shut up right now or the next person to insult me is walking the dock of shame!" threatened Chris. "Do not go to bonfire ceremony, do not collect marshmallow and do not win a million dollars! So shut the #bleep# up!"
Everybody quieted down and became silent which made Chris smirk.
"Much better; you guys really lack a backbone! Haha!" Laughed Chris.
The campers frowned while Chris continued speaking.
"Ok; for today's challenge you are all going to be …
…
…
…
Cosplaying! But not as cats, nope … you are going to be cosplaying as video game characters!"
"Alright!" Cheered Jimmy. "Back home the guys and I love playing wii. This challenge could be fun."
"PS3 isn't better than Xbox and Wii is for little girls!" Grunted Kasimar. "But hopefully I'll get a violent character."
"The rules are quite simple; you will all pick a piece of paper out of a hat. You will then cosplay as the character written on the paper and be given a costume like what they wear to change into. After that you will put on an act of your character in a random order Chef will choose."
"So how do we win?" Asked Eleanor.
"Simple; whoever puts on an act that is faithful to the character that they are cosplaying or if your act impresses em then you are going to score big points. Hopefully none of you have stage fright … but if you do it's not my problem! Haha!" Laughed Chris meanly.
"So how many people can win immunity? Six? Four? Two? Maybe just one?" Asked Lavender.
"I'm getting to that." Said Chris airily. "The top four performances will be immune from the Bonfire ceremony tonight and will automatically get into the final eleven as could logically be expected. As always the first placed camper will receive a special prize. The eight who don't win immunity are fair game at tonight's vote off so, I don't know, you might want to win immunity."
"Where will we be getting changed?" Asked Andy. "In our cabins?"
"Nope; that would take too long for me to bare." Said Chris casually. "We have set up changing rooms next to the mess hall last night; one for each gender. No going into another genders changing room for a thrill as good for ratings as that would be … ok?"
"Dammit." Muttered Kasimar.
"Ok then; those are pretty much the entirety of the rules." Said Chris as he whipped out a hat from nowhere. "So everybody come and pick a character. Oh; and you can't change the character you pick so no swapping with anyone, got it?"
Confessional: I'd Cosplay as the Dressing Room!
Spider: I wonder who I'll *cough* get. Knowing my usual luck *cough* it'll be somebody I know nothing *cough* about.
Uzuri: This is great! I've never Cosplayed before but I have gone as a zombie cat to the schools costume part before; so this might not be such a bad challenge.
Lavender: While this challenge sounds fun I have to wonder how Chris isn't going to have to pay to use the characters.
Chris: Isn't it so obvious you brainless idiot? Product placement duh! Total Drama letterz is a HUGE hit!
The campers lined up and Chris readied the hat for them to pick out a character to cosplay as. First in line was Barney; he reached in and took out a piece of paper. He whooped in delight when he saw who he was cosplaying as.
"Who did you get Barney?" Asked Lavender who was behind Barney.
"I got Admiral Razorbeard!" Said Barney with a smirk. "This challenge is going to be easy considering my love of pirates!"
"Well let's hope I get a good character." Said Lavender as she reached into the hat and pulled out a piece of paper and read the name on it. "Tom Nook? Isn't he the shop keeper on animal crossing who is a complete greedy cheapskate?"
"That's him." Chuckled Chris.
As Lavender sat on the bleachers trying to think on how to put on a believable performance Jimmy reached into the hat and pulled out a piece of paper and looked satisfied.
"Cool; I got Ripto!" Smiled Jimmy.
"Who's that?" Asked Tabitha.
"The main villain of Spyro 2." Explained Jimmy. "He has anger management problems."
Confessional: You wouldn't like me when I'm angry! Roar!
Jimmy: Not bad; I've completed Spyro 2 so I kinda know how Ripto acts … though I would have preferred to be spyro. Oh well; I'll just have to make do with the Riptoc.
Barney: Razorbeard; my favorite gaming villain … its as if this challenge was custom made for me. Yaaaar! This is gonna be fun! Yo ho!
Andy reached into the hat and took out a piece of paper and shrugged.
"Hmm; looks like I'm Sonic." Said Andy sounding generally ok with his character. "Robotnik would have been better though."
"Isn't he called Eggman?" Asked Eleanor.
"No; his real name is Dr. Ivo Robotnik." Explained Andy.
"I wonder who I'll get." Said Eleanor as she reached into the hat and took out a piece of paper. "Hmm … looks like I'm going to be Pikachu … but he can't say anything other than is name."
"Not my problem." Shrugged Chris.
"Yeah; not outta my way!" Growled Kasimar as she shoved Eleanor to the side and onto the ground.
"Ow." Groaned Eleanor as she rubbed her sides.
"Need a hand?" Asked Jimmy as he extended his right hand to help Eleanor up.
"Thanks Jimmy." Smiled Eleanor. "I wonder who Kasimar is going to get; I hope it'll be somebody he'll have trouble portraying."
"Oh you gotta be #bleep' kidding me!" Snarled Kasimar. "There is NO #bleep'# way I'm doing this!"
"Sorry Kasimar; you either Cosplay or walk the dock of shame; the choice is yours." Smirked Chris.
Kasimar snarled as he walked away from Chris. On the way Barney stuck out his foot and Kasimar tripped over and dropped the paper which Uzuri caught. Uzuri looked at and began laughing.
"Teeheeheeheehee!" Laughed Uzuri. "Guess who Kasimar is Cosplaying!"
"You had better not tell anyone." Snarled Kasimar.
"…He's Cosplaying as Princess Peach!" Laughed Uzuri and soon just about everyone else was laughing too.
Kasimar snarled darkly.
Confessional: Hahahahahahaha! Sucks to be Kasimar!
Kasimar: That little bitch; I oughta sew her eyes shut and throw her to the piranha's!
A few minutes later when everyone had quieted down Xaria reached into that hat and looked at who she had picked out.
"Guess I'm going to be Wesker then." Said Xaria. "Good thing I've seen the Resident Evil game's on the internet."
"Wesker became a monster and got two rocket propelled grenades to the face. Serves him right!" Pouted Uzuri in memory of the ending of Resident Evil 5.
Next to reach in was Nakia; she reached in and took out a piece of paper and looked revolted.
"Seriously? You actually have the nerve to make me Cosplay flippin Waluigi?" Growled Nakia. "He's, like, so annoying! He's the character in Mario Party that nobody wants to play as!"
"While I completely agree with your statement." Said Quana with a smirk. "You and him have a symbolic relationship in that you are both really annoying."
"Take that back right now you Hispanic Horse!" Screamed Nakia.
It took the combined strength of Barney, Lavender, Spider and Andy to hold Quana back from killing Quana.
"Hmm; touchy." Sniffed Nakia smugly as she took a seat on the bleachers.
"That little brat." Growled Quana taking deep breaths. "When I get my hands on her…"
"Please calm down *cough* Quana." Said Spider as he gently stroked Quana's hair to calm her down. "You said it yourself; she's not *cough* worth it. You're a million and one times the *sneeze* girl she could ever hope to be."
Quana looked Spider in the eyes and smiled.
"Thank you Spider." Smiled Quana as the others let go of her. "I just get really angry when she calls me that."
"I don't blame *cough* you cutie." Replied Spider.
"Dammit!" Grunted Chris in disappointment. "I wanted to see a catfight!"
Confessional: Meow!
Quana: Nakia is just pathetic and annoying … I really don't think she's going to amount to much in life … is it wrong for me to think that? I can only surpress my anger for so long. (Quana puts her head in her hands). Why oh why did she have to return?
Nakia: (She is brushing her hair). Straightforwardly people like Quana are footstools for people like me. She should get that through her thick skull if she wants to end up anywhere in life besides a fast food joint.
Spider reached into the hat and looked relieved at the character he was going to cosplay.
"Cool; I'm going to *cough* be Professor Layton." Smiled Spider. "And I've *cough* completed all the games in that *sneeze* series."
"I've got a puzzle for you and you'll never figure it out!" Laughed Chris. "Which of these is heavier; a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?"
"They obviously weight *cough* the same." Replied Spider.
"…I hate you." Growled Chris.
Confessional: Even I knew that one.
Spider: I've heard that puzzle *cough* before; its simple when you think *sneeze* about it properly.
Nakia: How could that uneducated nerdy slob know that? Ok; so I didn't know … but my point remains; I rule and Spider drools! So, like, there!
Uzuri picked out a piece of paper and smiled at who she was to Cosplay.
"Yay! I'm Dingodile; good thing I have a flawless Australian accent." Said Uzuri sunnily. "And I'll get to use a flamethrower though it'll probably be fake … oh well! Teehee!"
Tabitha rolled her eyes which nobody else noticed and she reached into the hat to pick out her character; she took out on of the last pieces of paper and looked at who she would be cosplaying for the challenge.
"Ok; I guess this could work." Said Tabitha. "I'm going to be Clank … I guess I'll just have to use a lot of techno babble words and make some smart one liners."
This left only Quana; she reached into the hat and took out the final piece of paper; she opened it up and looked at the name of the character on it.
"Not bad; I'm going to be Mario … this might not be such a bad challenge." Smiled Quana. "Though I don't really think overalls are really me."
"Too bad; you're going to wear them or instantly get booted of the show." Smirked Chris. "Ok; now everyone can go to their respective gender's changing rooms. The interns will hand you your outfits."
Confessional: The interns deserve more respect!
Random Intern: Chris sucks! He didn't let me take the day off when my wife went into labour! What an asshole!
Chris: Shut up!
Lavender: This won't be such a bad challenge; no risk of getting hurt and Kasimar's going to be in drag and will get a dose of humiliation … I have a good feeling about today!
Chris looked at the campers as they left to get changed and turned to the cameraman.
"Looks like some campers are happy with who they will be cosplaying … and others are just plain pissed off! Who will win immunity? Who will be voted off? And will anybody actually do a good job at cosplaying? Or will they just humiliate themselves more than they already have? Find out after the break on Total Drama Letterz!"
Well; this looks like an interesting and funny challenge huh? And Kasimar is getting some humiliation on international television; but its not like he doesn't deserve it.
Coming up in the next chapter is the cosplaying acts, all round hilarity and another vote off. It's going to be both interesting and humorous.

Jimmy: Ripto
Kasimar: Princess Peach
