it was three hours since DJ lost his Father and his family restaurant. They decided they needed to go back to DJ's house to be with him, they were all afraid of leaving him alone after all that he's had to deal with today. It didn't help that Chris was there and seemed to still want to talk about doing a reality show as well as plan the funeral and Sierra didn't think having Chris there was a good idea at all.

"Okay DJ..." Chris sighed. "We can still do this reality show without Chef, he would have wanted us to continue. We used to always talk about making a comeback and this is still our chance to do that, we can plan Chef's funeral and then keep moving forward!"

"If..If that's what he would have...w-wanted." DJ sniffled in between the tears.

"Chris!" Sierra yelled, deciding she wasn't even going to give him the chance. "DJ is not doing the reality show! We have a funeral to plan and you're just making things worse! This is too much for DJ to be dealing with right now!"

"I'm just trying to help." Chris crossed his arms. "You don't know Chef like I did, he would have wanted this."

"He's not here to decide that." Sierra hugged DJ. "Chris, you're not helping anyone right now except yourself."

"You're not throwing me out." Chris told her. "I don't know when you decided to get so mouthy but I'm not having it! I liked you better when you were obsessed with Cody and left my life alone. Chef was my best friend and I'm taking charge around here! I was the host of the show for almost 10 seasons!"

"Then you ran out of ideas and got cancelled." Sierra reminded him. "DJ, I think you should decide what you want to do. Tell Chris how you don't want to do that stupid reality show anymore."

"I want you two to stop fighting!" DJ yelled and sobbed. "Sierra, I appreciate you trying to help me and Chris I know he was your best friend but I need some time to think! I actually need to go to pick out a casket for his funeral."

"I'll drive you." Chris offered.

"I'll go with you guys." Sierra insisted. "We can all go together."

"Someone's being a little pushy." Gwen whispered to Sierra. "I think Chris is going to get mad..."

"I'm not letting him alone with DJ..." Sierra whispered back to Gwen.

"I guess we're all going then." Chris groaned. "Isn't that just great?"

"I'm going to stay here and put on a pot of coffee for when you get back!" Gwen announced. "Should I call Courtney and LeShawna and let them know what happened?"

"No!" Sierra quickly yelled and then caught herself. "I'll handle all of that myself when we get back."

"Gwen?" Chris smirked at the Goth. "Forget the coffee, get some booze because I'm going to need it when I'm done with this day! It's the only thing that ever got me through dealing with you brats back in the day."

"I guess I could get liquor too..." Gwen sighed. "I'll be back."

"Here's the house key." Sierra handed Gwen the key. "Take Bridgette and Geoff with you."


The funeral home was depressing and it smelled funny. Sierra always thought they smelled funny and just seemed creepy. When she was sitting in the funeral directors office she was leaving DJ to do most of the talking while she just wanted to make sure that Chris kept his mouth shut.

"What would you like your Father to wear for the viewing?" The funeral director asked them.

"I don't even know!" DJ sobbed. "I feel like I didn't even know him that well!"

"Shhhhh!" Chris patted DJ on the back. "It's okay. We'll just bury him in his old apron and Chef's hat. He always liked it anyway."

"Yeah, let's go with that..." DJ seemed to calm down. "I never seen him wear a suit or anything. He was always in his cooking outfit or cross dressed."

"Can you bring me the outfit and I'll make sure he is wearing it for the funeral?" the funeral director requested.

"What about flowers?" Sierra asked. "Chef's going to need some flowers at his funeral."

"You're right!" DJ gasped. "What kind of flowers?! Roses? No, that would make him look gay! Maybe some Sunflowers?!"

"Yet I'm the one stressing him out..." Chris smirked at Sierra. "Look, he loved cooking food and eating food DJ. Why don't we get some of those edible fruit arrangements for him? I bet he'd love them and then the guests can just eat it while they talk about the good times they had with him."

"That's a horrible answer." Sierra glared at Chris. "Who would want that at a funeral?"

"I think...I think he would like it..." DJ sobbed. "Chris knew him better than the rest of us!"

"I know a guy." Chris informed Sierra. "I'll get it done and don't worry about the price, this is all on me! After all, Chef was my best friend and I am the Chris Mclean."

"If you don't mind me asking..." The funeral director looked at Chris, Sierra and DJ. "You were all on this one reality show? The purple hair, it makes me remember when I was in my twenties. Whatever happened to LeShawna, she was really pretty..."

"She married Cody." Sierra sighed. "Things are going bad and this isn't very professional to be asking these questions."

"Ignore her." Chris glared at Sierra. "She's just jealous that she didn't end up with Cody."

"In my line of work I make small talk when I can." The funeral director shrugged. "Is there anything else you would like to have done?"

"His spatula." Chris spoke up. "You know how some people have a flower placed in the hands of the dead? I want Chef to be buried with the spatula in his hands."

"That's a great idea!" DJ sobbed happily. "I think he'd love that! You're the best!"

"That's why I'm the host." Chris smirked. "I'm prepared to handle any situation! I think Chef would love the things you're planning with me so we can send him off properly."

"Do you think we could get a few of the Total Drama guys to be pallbearers?" DJ asked Chris, Sierra and the funeral director what they thought of the idea.

"I think they'd do it." Sierra smiled at DJ. "They always liked Chef more than Chris."

"Gee thanks..." Chris sighed. "DJ, why don't you go back to my house with me and we can call and get edible arrangements for his viewing?"

"Are we all done here?" DJ asked the funeral director. "All I need is for his son to sign this paperwork and I'll start working on the body."

"Sure...I'll sign." DJ seemed sad but signed. "How did he die?"

"We'll run an investigation, but it seems like it was of natural causes." the funeral director assured him. "Thankfully Mr. Mclean found him."

"How did you find him Chris?" DJ asked. "I mean, were you with him when it happened?"

"That's not important." Chris crossed his arms. "We'll talk about it later in private."

"I think it's important." Sierra told Chris. "I'd like to know."

"Don't you have something else to do?" Chris asked her. "DJ is pretty upset, I think I can handle it from here. Helloooo! Chef was my best friend, I'm obviously the only one who knows what the hell to do."

"DJ, I'll catch up with you later." Sierra sighed in defeat. "I have a few things I need to take care of but I'll be sure to be home in an hour tops."

Sierra left Chris and DJ to handle the funeral arrangements even though she didn't want to leave him alone with Chris. Sierra knew she had a few things that she needed to take care of and one of those things involved going to see Noah in a public place where she was certain nothing would happen to her and that meant she was going to have to see Noah in the hospital.


When Sierra got to the hospital she looked all around the hospital in hopes that she would bump into Noah without actually asking anyone if he was around. The last thing she wanted was for it to be publically known that she was going to find him and the less people who knew she was talking to Noah the better off everyone would be. Finally, after maybe an hour of looking she bumped into him in the hallway.

"I take it you've been looking for me?" Noah smirked and leaned against the wall. "Normally this would be the part where I would call security but I'm interested in what you have to say."

"Yeah, I have been looking for you." Sierra admitted. "Do you have a minute to spare? I'd love to talk to you."

"I'm glad you decided to come and find me in a public place." Noah told her. "I guess that's smart on your end. I'd love to talk to you."

"It has nothing to do with location." Sierra lied. "We're going through some tough times and I just wanted to talk to you and get it over with."

"Let's go take a seat down in the cafeteria and have a talk then." Noah agreed, almost smirking. "I wouldn't want to prevent you from being there for those tough times."

The two walked down to the cafeteria and Noah bought both himself and Sierra a cup of coffee and they sat down at a table. Once they were seated, Sierra couldn't help but look around making sure that Courtney wasn't going to show up! If she gave Mal's plan up she was sure that he and Izzy would kill everyone she cared about and not look back.

"I wanted to let you know that Chef is dead." Sierra whispered to him. "Now that he's dead I'm hoping that means that everything is over?"

"That's what you've come here to ask?" Noah smirked. "You think it's over? That's not how this works, you should know that by now."

"You two told me one of them just needed to die." Sierra was trying to b discreet as possible. "One of them is dead, I don't know what more you and Courtney could want from me! I just came here to tell you it was done."

"Did you actually kill him?" Noah whispered to her. "I'm not sure you could pull it off even if you wanted to do it."

"I could." Sierra lied. "and I did!"

"How?" Noah asked her. "Enlighten me..."

"I...I...it's none of your business." Sierra groaned. "DJ's upset and I need to be there for him but I'm hoping that Courtney will be happy with what happened and it'll be over."

"I'll be sure to talk with her." Noah assured her. "I wouldn't hold your breath though, you know she holds grudges. She managed to ruin Gwen's life and it only took her twenty years to come up with this one. Maybe she'll knock you off before she turns fifty?"

"I still don't get why you're in on this." Sierra told him. "What do you possibly have to gain from any of this?"

"I told you already that's none of your business." Noah told her. "I can promise you that we'll be in touch, sooner than you think."

"I'm just letting you know that it's done." Sierra stood up. "That's all I really wanted to tell you. I think this whole thing is unnecessary and should just end now that he's gone and if you and Courtney are sane, you'll just end this."

"There isn't anything sane about any of this anymore." Noah got up and threw his coffee out as he and Sierra walked their own separate ways and Sierra quickly made her way back to the house to do some damage control and make sure that DJ was okay and Chris wasn't getting too involved.


When Sierra got home, DJ and Chris were at the house and Chris was on his cell phone. Sierra sighed and sat down and looked at DJ and Chris, however when Sierra went to say something Chris shhhh'ed Sierra as he finished his phone call. When he was done, he hung up his phone and then smirked at Sierra and DJ.

"I just got off the phone with Alejandro." Chris told her. "He agreed to be a pallbearer at the funeral."

"You're seriously calling cast members of the show and asking them?!" Sierra yelled. "DJ, are you okay with this?"

"I also called Geoff and asked him." Chris informed Sierra. "Scott agreed to come and do it too. When I called Noah he said he'd be happy to come in an-"

"You called Noah?!" Sierra interrupted. "When did you call Noah?!"

"About an hour ago right after I called Justin..." Chris continued to talk. "They'll all be in town for the funeral and they're going to stay here at your place. I'm sure you have plenty of space!"

"Thank you for helping us out, Chris!" DJ happily thanked the ex-host. "Sierra, we can cook for everyone and they'll love it!"

"Or they can just get a hotel room." Sierra rolled her eyes.

Not wanting to start a fight right now with Chris or make DJ even more upset then he already was, Sierra decided to go upstairs and see how things with Izzy were, assuming that's even where she was. When she got to the top of the stairs, she heard Izzy rummaging through her closet and was wondering what she could be doing.

"Why are you looking in my closet?" Sierra asked Izzy as she walked into the room. "I think I'm going to kill Chris! He's pissing me off even more then when I was on that stupid show!"

"Is Sierra going to kill Chris for real or is she just kidding?" Izzy turned around and sat on the bed and smirked.

"Shhhh!" Sierra looked around before sitting next to Izzy and covering her mouth. "You don't want DJ and Chris to hear you! I didn't mean it literally. I really need to start thinking before I say things around you and Mal, don't I?"

"Your hands taste bad." Izzy shoved Sierra's hands away from her. "Izzy has news for Sierra! Sierra is going to be pleasantly surprised with Chef's funeral. There are going to be lots of fun surprises!"

"The last thing I need is more surprises." Sierra groaned. "I'll pass."

Before Izzy could say anything else, the doorbell rang and Sierra heard it from upstairs. Not wanting DJ to deal with more bad news that could upset him even more. Sierra quickly went downstairs with Izzy behind her to open the door. When she opened it she was surprised to see Zoey standing at the door with Mal.

"Sierra!" Zoey hugged Sierra who seemed confused. "I'm so sorry I treated you the way I did when you were only trying to help me! I'm so sorry about Chef too! How's DJ? Things have to be bad for you guys but I wanted to let you know that Mike and I are going to stay here with you and help you any way we can!"

"You and...Mike?" Sierra looked at Mal who now had Mike's hairstyle but she was pretty sure it was still Mal and wasn't sure how Zoey could possibly think that Mal was once again Mike.

"Yeah! He was telling me how you tracked him down and somehow convinced Mal to take the pills so Mike could have control and then once he was feeling like himself he came back home to be with me!" Zoey told Sierra who just looked at Mal and then looked at Izzy.

"Will you two be staying here?" Sierra looked at Mal and Zoey.

"We will be staying with you." 'Mike' told her. "That is, if you have the space."

"I'll have DJ help you with your bags." Sierra faked a smile and just looked at them. "Actually, DJ is in the kitchen Zoey and I'm sure he'd be happier if you went in and surprised him!"

"Okay!" Zoey smiled. "This is going to be so fun! It's going to be just like the old days back on Total Drama!"

"Yeah..." Sierra kept that fake smile on her face. "A few more people should be showing up soon too! Even more fun."

Zoey went into the kitchen to get DJ and while she was gone Sierra just looked at Mal and Izzy wondering what they were doing and what she was even supposed to do. Knowing she only had a few minutes to say what she had to say she just muttered it quietly to Mal.

"Chris invited the cast here to be pallbearers..." Sierra muttered. "Noah is coming here and I don't know what to do. I also have no clue why you're here with Zoey."

"Phase two." Mal smirked as Zoey came back in with DJ who happily agreed to help bring the suitcases in.

"It's so nice to have people who care around here." DJ smiled. "Don't you think so, Sierra?"

"Yeah." Sierra smiled at him.

"I'll help you get the suitcases, DJ." 'Mike' told DJ as the three of them walked out to Zoey's car.

"I'll make some coffee." Sierra told them as she walked into the kitchen thinking that this whole situation was just getting crazier and crazier.


Okay, so Mal's back as Mike and Zoey has no clue! Izzy and Mal have plans and I'm looking forward to 'Mike' and Noah meeting! So, what do you guys think of this story so far? It's getting complicated and I'm loving it! I know what my 'endgame' is so I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do.

If you're loving this story I would suggest you guys check out 'Heroes Vs. Villains' which is something I'm currently working on and we're actively writing it now. It's basically an All-Stars re-write that I'm co-writing with two amazing authors: Knifez and RedEyedWarrior and I think it's going extremely well. If you want to read it you can find it under Knifez's name on fanfiction! I tried to link it but the site won't let me but it's definitely worth the read.

Thanks guys! As always, I'll see you in a week or two with another chapter where we'll find out what phase two of Mal and Izzy's plan is!
