AN: Here it is. Part two of Not So Happy Campers and the first challenges as well as the first elimination. Who will be eliminated? Keep reading to find out.
Chapter Two: Not So Happy Campers Part Two
"The first challenge of the season is this…" Chris motioned to the edge of the cliff and the waters below, "to jump into shark infested waters and aim for the ring without the man eating beasts." Beardo let out the first few notes of the funeral march, but was slapped in the back by Courtney.
"We're not gonna die you idiot." Courtney reprimanded him and Beardo backed up sheepishly.
"No you're not gonna die… yet." Chris said ominously and most everyone gulped, barring Alejandro, Duncan and Blaineley.
Confessional:
"These losers don't know a thing about survival apparently. Well, besides maybe la cucaracha and the cadet." Blaineley scoffed at everyone else.
Confessional 2:
"I'm gonna die now. I'm going to FUCKING die now." Beardo said nervously as he followed it up with a sad trombone sound.
End Confessionals:
"Well, who wants to go first?" Tyler asked his team who all backed up, leaving him at the edge alone and he groaned in annoyance.
"Okay. I got this. Woo hoo!" Tyler ran off the cliff and was falling to the water and barely missed a buoy, but did accidentally hit the water with a split. Duncan, DJ, and Alejandro were all watching this and winced, as did the sharks in the water nearby.
"Watch out below!" Kitty laughed as she jumped, making it into the safe zone. After this, Duncan jumped and on his way down gave a camera the middle finger.
This was followed by Ezekiel, who was flailing on his way down, but managed to land in the safe zone.
"I ain't getting my hair wet." Anne Maria protested and her remaining teammates, Courtney, DJ, Beth, Beardo, Ellody and Dave all turned to her. Ellody walked up to her with a cold, calculated stare and slapped her in the face.
"Jump. I can assure you if you do not, you will cost us the win." Ellody stated coldly, a far cry from her nerdy talk she did earlier.
"I ain't jumping." Anne Maria turned to walk away, but was stopped by Chris.
"All non jumpers must wear the Chicken of Shame." Chris placed a chicken hat on Anne Maria's head, which she snarled at but accepted over getting her hair wet.
"Our chances of winning have gone down significantly. Anyone else not want to jump?" Ellody asked and DJ raised his hand lightly.
"I have bad experiences with water and high places. I once had to go to the hospital because my swim trunks gave me a horrible wedgie after jumping from the high dive. I can't do it." DJ explained and Ellody nodded and glared at Anne Maria, who was applying hair spray even with the chicken hat on.
"Fine. But two is our maximum chicken amount. Everyone else, get jumping." Courtney demanded and Beth shivered as Dave took her hand.
"Hey it'll be fine. Just aim for the center." Dave tried to act brave, but was also shaking nervously. Beth nodded as she grasped Dave's hand harder.
Confessional:
"Even if there are germs in the water, I am gonna compete. I can just use the prize money to disinfect myself." Dave explained, shivering at the thought of the germs.
End Confessional:
"Okay." Beth answered shakily and she and Dave ran to the edge of the cliff and jumped. Beth made it into the center, but Dave landed just outside of the safe zone. Dave resurfaced and started swimming as fast as possible and was being chased by sharks. Shortly after, he reached the boat the other jumpers were in and boarded it and the sharks bit onto a metal ladder.
"He's safe, so it counts as a point." Chris announced to everyone waiting to still jump.
"I'll go next." Ellody said and started looking at the ground and preparing to jump, when Courtney decided she had enough of waiting and pushed her off, making it into the center.
Confessional:
"I may not always be the most emotional, but I am not ecstatic about being shoved off the cliff." Ellody stated, dripping wet with water.
End Confessional:
Courtney followed after, leaving Beardo alone to hype himself up.
"I got this. I got this." Beardo whispered to himself as he paced nervously.
Confessional:
"I look at this sha-dude and think, he has no sha-chance." Lightning stated annoyingly.
Confessional 2:
"Fatso won't do it. Just like my sister wouldn't do it. Stupid Samey." Amy claimed, changing the topic from Beardo.
Confessional 3:
"If Beardo does it, I'd give him five stars." Kitty gave a thumbs up of encouragement.
End Confessionals:
"Screw this!" Beardo shouted as he ran to the edge of the cliff and jumped, making it into the safe zone with a big splash, causing the sharks to swim away.
"Okay then. Killer Bass had nine jumpers. Screaming Gophers, if you can match that, I'll give you some carts for the next part of the challenge." Chris added, making Brick grow a look of determination.
"Let's do this troops. Follow my example!" Brick shouted as he ran to the edge of the cliff and jumped, somehow doing a split the same as Tyler did when he landed, making his team all wince.
"See you below." Emma then ran and dove off the cliff.
"Sha-let me show you all how it's done." Lightning proclaimed, diving off the cliff with a sprint, but instead of landing in the safe zone, he landed outside of it and punched a shark on the nose.
"That poor creature!" Dawn gasped as she elegantly dove off the didn't aim for the safe zone, but for the injured shark to help it.
"I predict, if I jump next, one of you will try to get out of it. So who is thinking about not jumping?" Scarlett accused and Blaineley scoffed.
"Just jump already." Blaineley demanded but Scarlett walked up to her.
"If you don't jump, be assured, your downfall will be immediate." Scarlett warned in a dark tone before jumping off unceremoniously. After this, just as she predicted, Blaineley snatched a chicken hat from McLean and started walking back down the cliff the same as Anne Maria and DJ.
"Ugh. I'm not jumping. My makeup will run." Amy claimed and Lindsay nodded in agreement.
"Chica, you are jumping." Alejandro ordered right as Justin, ignoring all this, jumped off the cliff.
"Tell me why should I?" Amy demanded to know as everyone at the bottom of the cliff focused on Justin showing off his body for the sharks.
"If you don't, I will make you." Alejandro stated ominously and Lindsay, out of fear of being thrown off, jumped off the cliff flailing and screaming.
"Why don't you join me in not jumping, sexy boy?" Amy licked her lips and Alejandro gagged in disgust.
Confessional:
"I hate chicas like her. Thinking they can try to get close to me just for my body. So I did what any sane person would." Alejandro said with a grin.
End Confessional:
Alejandro backed up to the edge of the cliff as Amy cornered him, looking ready to lunge at him. Alejandro smirked and grabbed her arm and threw her off the cliff into the safe zone. As Amy resurfaced she gave him her middle finger.
Confessional:
"So he wants to play hard to get huh? Well I'll show him why he should give me attention." Amy said as she filed her nails.
Confessional End:
"Last person here, the lackluster Devin. Are you gonna jump, or back out on your team?" Chris asked the teenager in the green swim trunks and same shirt as earlier.
"You know, I've always wanted to try this." Devin claimed as he ran and jumped off the cliff, making his way into the safe zone.
"With that ten jumpers to the Bass's nine, the Gophers win the advantage for the next part of the challenge! Carts to carry some heavy boxes that you need to bring back to your cabins! Have fun Bass! You get to carry those boxes." Chris announced as he was on the beach as the boat with the campers on it finally docked.
Chris tilted his head and saw someone was missing and looked to see Dawn still in the water, taking care of the shark Lightning punched.
"Dawn, the next challenge is starting." Alejandro told his teammate who kissed the nose of the shark before swimming to shore. Amy scoffed at the blonde, nature lover as she swam ashore.
Confessional:
"That Dawn girl reminds me too much of Samey. Always too kind and blech. I need to teach her a lesson." Amy decided with an evil grin.
End Confessional:
The camera cuts to show the Gophers easily pushing the carts with wooden boxes on the beach. Amy sees Dawn walk nearby by her as she helps Devin push a cart.
"Time to…" Amy prepares to trip Dawn, but is stopped by Brick grabbing her and picking her up as he was helping her push the cart.
"Are you gonna work, or are you gonna try to sabotage your own team? Because traitors don't last long in war, got it?" Brick asked and Amy nodded in annoyance as Brick set her back down.
Confessional:
"Usually I can't bring myself to threaten anyone, but Amy tried to hurt Dawn for no reason as well as hurt our team. One person can bring any team down. So I'm gonna be the person to bring us back up from anything. Because I am Brick McArthur, large and in charge!" Brick claimed, standing up suddenly with a wide smile.
End Confessional:
"Are you even going to help us?" Devin asked Blaineley who was filing her nails as they pushed the carts. There were only five carts and thus Blaineley didn't push one with someone else.
"Why even bother? You kids have got this." Blaineley claimed, making Devin glare at her in annoyance.
Meanwhile, the Killer Bass were far behind, struggling to pick up the heavy boxes. Courtney saw this and decided to step up and lead.
"Okay, everyone stop a moment. We need to do this with an organized system." Courtney claimed and Duncan scoffed as he kept walking.
"Who put you in charge, Ms. Princess?" Duncan kept walking, annoying Courtney in the process.
"We got this. Woo hoo!" Tyler cheered as he carried two boxes, but proceeded to trip, with Courtney facepalming in annoyance. Ellody tilted her head as Beardo helped her with her box.
"We got some team huh? A clumsy jock, a soundboard," Beardo smiled at her which she didn't do anything in response to but keep going, "A bossy rule follower, a semi-sociable farm girl, a homeschooled prairie boy, a germaphobe, a hair spray advertisement, a juvenile delinquent, a friendly giant, a photographer, and myself, an emotionless calculator." Ellody commented as she watched Beardo push the box along the beach.
"Farm girl? Wait, how can you tell Beth is from a farm? Or how Kitty is a photographer?" Beardo asked in curiosity.
"Beth's want to interact with others, as well as her small lisp and accent, insinuates that she comes from a not well off family, and her faint scent of grass and cow manure drive her to being a farm girl. As for Kitty, she's taking selfies every two minutes if you haven't noticed." Ellody pointed at Kitty, who took a selfie of her with the box, before going back to pushing.
"Huh. Wonder if she takes good pictures." Beardo asked as he kept pushing the box.
Confessional:
"I do wonder why Ellody called herself emotionless though." Beardo wondered aloud to himself.
End Confessional:
The camera now shows the Gophers arriving at the campsite and start cheering before cutting back to the Killer Bass as they still struggle.
"Campers! The Screaming Gophers have now arrived at camp and are trying to open the boxes! Killer Bass, you might want to speed up a little bit! Gophers, those boxes need to be opened without your hands! Thought you might want to know." Chris announced over the loudspeakers.
"This is sooooo hard." Beth fell on her back as she dropped the box she was carrying to the ground and with that it broke open, causing for the wood inside to fall out.
"Who says we need to carry the boxes all the way? Shows like this love loopholes like this." Duncan pointed out as he pulled out a knife and cut through the string holding the lid to open the box, still not using his hands or feet like Chris said.
Soon all the Bass had opened their boxes, with Duncan cutting all the strings with his knife. They picked up all the equipment.
"Hey are we making a pool or something, eh?" Ezekiel asked as he tilted his head as he picked up a liner.
"More like a hot tub." Beth pointed out as DJ picked up a heater.
"Well, let's hurry to camp and build it." Courtney said as she, Beardo, and Dave picked up some wood.
Meanwhile, the Gophers had resorted to trying to open the boxes using ropes and their teeth.
"Ouch, rope burn." Lindsay complained as the rope fell from her mouth. Amy rolled her eyes at this as she glared at Dawn again but saw Brick and Lightning near her, so decided against trying something.
"It looks like the Bass have arrived, and I was watching the footage and they are clear to start building a hot tub that will be theirs for the entire summer, or until they get eliminated." Chris walked up to the cabins as the Bass approached and Scarlett growled as she bit harder into a rope and tugged hard and got the box open. At the same time, Brick and Lightning got two more open and went to get onto the others.
A short montage is shown of the Bass organizing to build the hot tub and doing it with little flaws, with Beth helping Ezekiel figure out how to put a liner in and Tyler being caught by Ellody to stop him from tripping and breaking something. But as this happened, the Gophers are seen struggling as Amy keeps going after Dawn, Blaineley does nothing, and Justin trips over a piece of wood and drops the liner on Scarlett, who in a small panic, throws a couple nails at it and ruin the liner. After this, Devin is seen trying to nail in the wood to make the hot tub, but messes up and keeps hitting his own hand instead of nails.
After this montage, Chris looks at the two hot tubs. The Killer Bass's hot tub is complete, bar water, which was being put in by a hose right now, courtesy of Chris having some generosity and knowing the lake water wasn't the best. But he didn't bother with the Screaming Gopher's hot tub, as although the outer layer was fine and in place, some nails were hanging loose and the inside was a ruined liner.
"I guess the winner is obvious. The Killer Bass! Gophers, after sundown, meet me at the campfire. Tonight one of you is going home. Now is the time to decide who." Chris announced as the Killer Bass cheered and the Gophers groaned, Lightning even kicked the hot tub, causing the loose nails to fail and cause the hot tub's collapse. Now on the ground, the Gophers saw a nail file in the center of the broken hot tub and all looked to Amy and Blaineley.
"As if I'd bother putting my file in such an inconvenient place." Amy scoffed and Blaineley glared at her. Alejandro meanwhile bent down and picked up the file.
"This says it is Blaineley's. And at least Amy helped earlier in getting us a point at the cliff." Alejandro pointed at Blaineley's head and her chicken hat.
"What are you gonna do about it?" Blaineley glared at Alejandro, who started walking off to the mess hall, with the rest of the team following closely behind.
Confessional:
"Stupid kids. They should just do all the work for me. Stupid producers forcing me on this show." Blaineley grumbled to herself.
Confessional 2:
"The choice is obvious." Devin decided to tell the camera.
Confessional 3:
"I think all the sha-losers on my team should go, but old lady is annoying, but so is that blonde chick." Lightning scoffed as he kissed his own biceps.
End Confessionals:
"Gophers, tonight you sit before me because you lost the challenge. Before sitting before me, Chef told you all to vote in the confessional for the loser. Now, I have ten marshmallows on this plate. Please, once I call your name, come forward and receive your reward. If you do not receive your marshmallow, you will walk down the Walk of Shame, board the Boat of Losers, and you can never come back. Ever." Chris reinformed the team of what he had told them earlier in the day.
"The first marshmallow goes to… Emma." Chris announced and the girl walked forward and got her marshmallow.
"Next up…
Justin…
Alejandro…
Devin…
Lighting…
Brick…
Scarlett…
Dawn…
Lindsay…" As Chris called each name, said person happily walked up to grab their symbol of immunity. Now only Blaineley and Amy were left without a marshmallow and only one left on the plate.
"Ladies, there is one marshmallow left. Blaineley, you're lazy and think everyone should do stuff for you and no one likes that. Amy, you refused to jump before being thrown off, tried flirting with Alejandro, and made Brick mad at you for trying to go after Dawn. Now the final marshmallow of the night goes to…" Chris said this and both females looked at the marshmallow with increasing anxiety as Chris let the tension build up.

"Amy you're safe for another day. Blaineley, you're done for." Chris smirked happily and Blaineley was about to protest when she was grabbed by Chef and dragged down to the Boat of Losers unceremoniously.
"Everyone here is safe… for now." Chris said ominously, making Devin gulp nervously.
The camera then cut to the Killer Bass chilling in their hot tub, celebrating in a more relaxed environment and were taking the opportunity to talk.
"So I've had brathes for the last two years now. They make me talk with a thlight lithp. Sometimes it's there and thomtimes I talk fine." Beth told Beardo who nodded as he understood the words even with the slight lisp.
"At least we're relaxing in filtered water instead of lake water." Dave sighed happily as Duncan walked up behind him and put some dirt on his shoulder, causing Dave to freak out and run to the cabin in his dripping wet state. Duncan, Tyler and DJ laughed as Kitty rolled her eyes and kept talking to Ellody and Courtney. Suddenly the girls all started hacking and coughing and glared at Anne Maria. Ezekiel watched everyone talk with a little bit of jealousy as he didn't even know how to even start a conversation. So he just picked at the dirt near the hot tub with a stick.
Now the Screaming Gophers are seen approaching and walking to their cabins, barring Alejandro who looks to one of the cameras.
"Just know this, even as they talk, they are not safe. My team will not keep losing and they shall fall. Every last one of them." Alejandro told the camera ominously before the camera cut away and ended the episode.
AN: And thus this chapter is over. Honestly, when I look back at Total Drama Island: Beginnings, I feel this Not So Happy Campers is a better start than what I had for that story. Perhaps that's just me being pessimistic about my own work or me improving in quality. But either way, Blaineley is eliminated. Personally, she is my least favorite competitor in all of Total Drama. She has no redeemable qualities in the show and is annoying as anything. The only reason she even survived one elimination in canon was so that they didn't have Owen participate and dominate in the eating contest in the next episode. Anyways, I knew she wouldn't last long when I got this random assortment of characters. But I think I portrayed her well. Now, I'll reveal the votes as I did in my previous story.
