Writers Notes: Thanks to HGranger89 for beta reading this, and thanks for the feedback. daniellauterhahn I PM you the answer to your question, check profiled and in the Messaging selection it should be there. I response to users through that and response to non-users on the stories.
But to answer it here; Yes Katie and Sadie did slow them down in the hot tub challenge, but they're were also held up because of Courtney and DJ not jumping. And with Courtney busy attitude and Zeke's comment I don't think they cared what Katie and Sadie did.
Metal Face; This will be mostly T rated.
Tom McGills - Yeah I'm evil.
"Last Time on Total Drama Island: The campers squared off to their conquer fears. It was a hard-fought challenge for them, many rose to the challenge, but in the end, it was Tyler who was eliminated for being to chicken to face the chicken. Beth had helped Trent and Gwen resolved their fighting. Tune in for what will be the most shocking twist yet, right here on Total Drama Island."
*** Intro ***
The camera opened to the Screaming Gophers cabin, where LeShawna was frustratingly rooting through her luggage, "WHERE IS IT!? WHERE IS IT?!"
"Where what?" Gwen stretched as she got up.
"Someone stolen all my bras and panties!" LeShawna exclaimed doing other take through her suitcase.
"Us too!" They turned to see that it was Lindsay, Beth and Heather rooting through their suitcases as well, panicky Gwen check it luggage only to find that her undergarments were also missing.
"S##t my are gone too!" They found that all of their undergarments were stolen all but Izzy.
"Izzy is going commando!" Izzy smiled, making them shiver in fear.
"We have a dirty creep here!" LeShawna glared around at the girls.
"Well Cody and Noah are gay!" Izzy using her fingers to count.
"We will figure this out later," Gwen said.
The campers gathered together in the lunch line.
"Hi girls," Bridgette said shyly.
"Look gals," LeShawna put a hand on her hip, and glanced at the boys."We have some dirty perv here."
"You too?" Courtney asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You mean someone stolen your..." Beth blushed with embarrassment.
"Yes," Bridgette replied, as glaring at the guys. "I don't won't to point any fingers."
"We have some dirty perv here!" Heather glared, "look we might not get along with each other but we have to smoke him out!"
"For once I agree with you," Gwen said.
Most of the campers were eating their food, Courtney was glaring at Harold and Ezekiel believing that they're responsible behind the thief. Heather slowly picked at his plate and stared across the table where Gwen and Trent were eating. The two would occasionally glance at each other, and whenever their eyes met, they would blush and smile. Watching them, Heather would glared in anger and confusion.
*** Confessional Heather ***
"How in the world did that happen? She was hated by everyone, she was going to go next. But don't worry I am resourceful." She smiled holding a garage bag.
*** Mess Hall ***
Over at the Bass side, Katie was sitting by herself at the end of the table, looking down at her food sadly.
*** Confessional Katie ***
"Ever since Sadie was eliminated, I've been feeling pretty down. I promised her that I'd try my hardest. I will win this game for her."
*** Mess Hall ***
Katie continued to look sad while Duncan rolled his eyes.
"Listen, guys," Duncan whispered to the rest of his team. "If we lose again I say we vote off the other pathetic wonder twin down there. She's a wreck without Sadie to shadow; we'd be doing her a favour."
"Unless we find out who behind our missing clothes!" Courtney glared at Harold and Ezekiel.
"I don't know guys. She just misses her friend. I know the feeling, I'm missing my bros back home." Geoff, threw a concerned look Katie's way.
"Fine, do whatever you want, but it doesn't change anything," Courtney rolled her eyes again, while Geoff just shrugged and walked over to eat with Katie.
"So Katie, are you doing alright?" Geoff smiled as he sat down.
"Huh?" Katie looked up, "Hi Geoff, I'm doing a little better, but Sadie and I did everything together. We have never been apart for more than a few days. I hard being apart from her for so long." She sighs wiping away a tear from her eye. "I... I know how you all think Sadie and I are weird because we are so close and dress the same. Were not lovers, were not family, were just close very friends now. It's hard to explain. "
"No, not at all," Geoff replied sympathetically, "I remember when my best friend had to move to a different city. I was down in the dumps for weeks." The party animal smiled, "I have to keep going for him, just like you have to fight for Sadie. We can't let them down!"
"I won't," Katie flashed him a smile, as Geoff patted her shoulder.
"If you ever need to talk to someone, I'm here." Geoff offered, "This game is so much harder to get through without someone to talk to."
Katie sobbed once again as she thought about Sadie. "Thanks, Geoff."
*** Confessional Katie ***
"That was really sweet of Geoff; it's nice knowing I have some friends here."
*** Beach ***
After breakfast, the campers were on the beach, waiting for Chris to explain the challenge to them.
"Psst... Gwen?" Trent whispered as he handed her over a muffin, Gwen smiled and took it. Ezekiel had noticed that Tyler also snuck Lindsay some muffins. He pulled one muffin from his pocket and nudged Bridgette.
"Bridgette? Are you hungry, eh?" He smiled and showed her the muffin.
"Not really." The prairie boy looked down, as Duncan noticed and chuckled.
"Today's challenge is a true summer camp experience. A canoe trip. You all have to paddle across the lake to Boney Island," Chris paused for a moment as lighting effects thundered in the background causing a couple campers to jump. "Once you get there, you'll have to portage your canoe to the other side of the island; it's a two-hour long hike through the dense and treacherous jungle."
"Por-what?"Geoff asked.
"Portage..." Chris repeated to the party animal. But when the host saw a fly go in one of Geoff's ears and out the other while looking completely clueless, Chris just sighed and said. "You, carry your canoe over your head," Chris replied, "Now then when you arrive at the other side of the Island you will have to build a rescue bonfire judged by me. The first team to paddle back to the beach will be the winners. Oh, and one more thing I should mention: Legend has it that if you take anything off the Island, you'll be cursed forever!"
The contestants collectively gasped, all but Noah folded his arms.
"Yeah, a cursed island. Woo!" Izzy pumped her fist into the air.
"Sounds like it will be loads of fun.,." Noah sarcastically replied.
Chris smirked, "that's the spirit."
"Cursed Island?" Heather asked, arriving late.
"Cursed Island, don't take anything," Chris replied as the teen nodded, "Now, get your canoes and let's have some fun."
*** Confessional Izzy ***
"Oooo! A cursed Island? Yes! Izzy was wondering when things were going to get interest! Oh my God! This one time, when Izzy was on the run. I came across this cursed Island and Izzy met the lizard king."
*** Beach ***
As the campers approached the beach, Trent glanced back at Gwen and gave her a smile. Gwen smiled back, Trent, trying to be gentleman, helped Gwen into the canoe. The goth girl rolled her eyes, but smiled and accepted the gesture.
Noah and Cody were in a small circle strategizing as they walked up to the canoe. Neither one minded the other and both were actually happy they were stuck together, besides Izzy cheering about the 'happy couple'. They both got along pretty well and had a lot in common. Cody pumped his chest as he picked up a paddle...a little too hard and began to cough profusely.
*Hey Lindsay, Beth, what do you say about us being partners?" Heather smiled.
The smile on Lindsay's face answered the question loud and clear, but Beth didn't have time to protest as Heather was already dragging her to the canoe.
This left LeShawna alone and unpartnered, frankly searching for someone to partner with, anyone other than …
"IZZY! Needs a canoe BUDDY!" The redhead shouted as she jumped onto LeShawna's shoulders. The home girl wasn't ready for this, and as soon as she landed on her shoulders, she lost her balance and fell backwards. Both she and Izzy landed with a thud on the sandy beach.
"Together, Izzy and LeShawna will make it to the cursed island of spooky bones!" Izzy roared as she rose to her feet and stood on LeShawna's back, she groaned as she tried to cope with the pain.
Izzy glanced down and glared at LeShawna, "No time to laze around! We have the challenge to WIN!" She jumped off her back and threw her in the canoe, followed by the paddle, hitting her in the back of the head before running into the water herself and diving into the vessel. "WHOA!"
*** Confessional LeShawna ***
"Trapped in a canon in the middle of the water with her..." Begins to shiver at the thought, "I rather be struck with Heather."
*** Beach ***
As the Bass were teaming up, Katie was looking longingly at the ground. She felt a tap on her shoulder and she turned around to see Katie standing there, smiling at her.
"So, like, you wanna be partners for the challenge?"
Katie gave him a weak smile to say 'yes'. She was grateful someone she liked wanted to be parents, but would still rather Sadie to be here.
Ezekiel looked over to Bridgette who was putting on a life jacket. He gulped and slowly approached her. As usual, she had a smile on her face; that was the one thing he liked about her the most; even on a one-way trip to a cursed Island, she still had a smile on her face. Bridgette noticed the prairie boy smiling at her and stopped in her tracks. Ezekiel found himself blushing fervently as he tried to make the words come out his mouth.
He took a deep breath, "Hey, um... Bri-Bridgette," Ezekiel stuttered, "I was wo- wondering if y- you'd like to my canoe pa-partner?" He stammered through the whole thing, blushing the entire time, unfortunately, he spoke so quietly Bridgette didn't hear him.
"Hey, Bridgette," Courtney called out, approaching the surfer girl and prairie boy, "want to be partners?"
"...Sure..." Bridgette shrugged.
Ezekiel was left unnerved and more uncomfortable to ask Bridgette with Courtney around, he dropped his head and stared at the ground. He felt someone tap his shoulder and saw Harold giving a sympathetic smile and offered to partner up with him.
"So, I guess that leaves you and me dweebs?" A voice behind Harold and Ezekiel's chuckled.
Harold just rolled his eyes and turned to face the person the voice belonged to.
"If you're trying to get under my skin, I strongly advise against it Duncan," Harold sighed.
"Hey, I'm not trying to get under your skin...but if I am, icing on the cake, I guess."
Duncan walked by Harold and Ezekiel to the last canoe. Harold muttered idiot under his mouth, while Ezekiel glanced over to Bridgette and Courtney. He looked back at Duncan, who was grinning menacingly at him and Harold.
Within minutes, all the campers had paddled their canoes to the starting line and were ready to go.
"Alright, campers on your mark... get set... Go!" Chris fired a starting gun into the air, and the campers were off. Meanwhile, a dead eagle fell out of the air, "That's going to provoke some angry emails."
"So Katie, how are you holding up?"
"I'm trying to keep it together. I don't won't to let my team down." Katie said, "But maybe I should I will get to see Sadie again."
"Don't talk like that! Sadie wouldn't want you to just give up!"
"I know." Katie looked back and gave Geoff a smile. "Thanks, Geoff."
Geoff smiled back before she turned around to continued padding. Geoff looked over to Duncan's boat. The delinquent gave him a thumbs-up, and Geoff returned the gesture.
While over at Ezekiel's boat glanced over in sadness, but smiled a little and was least happy that Bridgette was a partner with someone nice, Harold wanted to think of something to get his friend from feeling blue. The two didn't look happy to be partnered with Duncan. Though it looked like they were trying to cope with situation.
"So, Zeke? Is this your first time canoeing?"
"No," Ezekiel replied, "I used to canoe and fish with my grandpa before he died, but the lake was much smaller than this, eh."
"So, dweebs, tell me: did you two go on the panty raid?"
"First of all, no. Second of all, why would you care anyways?" Harold asked.
"Oh, just curious is all. Its perfectly normal if you're a guy."
"I don't like what you're implying, eh."
"You don't even know what I'm implying, Zeke," Duncan interrupted.
The camera flashed over to Gwen and Trent, the two were sharing a conversation and have laugh.
Over at Heather's boat, she was fumed at this, "We need to be together on this one so we can discuss our strategy for the game."
"What do you mean?" Lindsay asked.
"Well...since my plans to have Gwen voted off backfired somehow, we need to regroup and think of a new plan."
Beth nervously shifted in her seat as she continued to paddle, hoping no one would noticed.
"NO! NO! NO! Gandalf is far stronger then Dumbledore!" Noah exclaim as the camera flash to him.
"Dumbledore is better!"
Courtney pitched the bring of her nose as she pasted them, "Give it a rest nerds!" She sighed and turned to Bridgette. "Bridgette? So who do you think is the creep is? I things its the sexist pig or the ginger.
"If you want to talk to me about Ezekiel and Harold, I'll thank you to use his name," Bridgette interrupted archly, "and I don't want to point fingers until we know of sure. And Ezekiel is trying to make up the things he said."
"Come up, Bridgette!" She glared at the farm boy's boat, "People like that don't chance!"
"I'm still a little bad about what he said, but seriously I'll heard much worse comments at school."
"Whatever," Courtney rolled her eyes, "If it is him, he'll be voted off."
LeShawna was forced to do all the paddling as Izzy told him farfetched stories, "Do you know Izzy is on the RCMP most wanted list? Oh, and Izzy is wanted in thirty States and banned from several European countries as well as Australia. Izzy also has six Nobel Prizes, an Olympic Gold medal, and a Ph.D." Izzy flashed them the degree which clearly showed that she'd scribbled out someone else's name and wrote her own in a black sharpie with the Z's backwards.
"You're really something," LeShawna stated.
Suddenly, the campers were surrounded by a thick fog; the teens looked up to see that the fog was coming from an ominous rock skull looming over their island destination.
"Ooooo neat skull," Izzy exclaimed as the campers docked on the bone covered beach."This is awesome!".
"Yeah, a creepy, spooky Island, with hundreds of things that could kill us. Awesome is definitely how I would describe it, Izzy," Noah said sarcastically as he stepped forward, crushing bones beneath his feet.
The campers, freaked out by the ominous nature of Boney Island, wasted no time in running through the forest. As they ran through the thick the forest, they began to hear roars from animals and tried to avoid the piles of animal bones and skulls.
"What was that?" Lindsay asked, creeped out.
"Relax, it's just Chris trying to scare us." Noah responded. "Nice try Chris, but you have to do better than that," he shouted as a pack of massive beavers with giant tusks, began to chase after the terrified campers. "Okay, that's better... RUN!"
The monster beavers continued to chase the campers all the way to a swamp, then turned around and began chasing them back through the forest with a big grin on her face.
"Izzy come back!" Beth cried out, as Izzy continued to run through the forest chasing the beavers.
SECTION
Meanwhile, not far behind, the Killer Bass were moving as fast could and came to a fork in the trail.
"We should go left," Courtney said.
"The right path is wider," Bridgette responded.
"I agree with Bridgette, eh," Ezekiel smiled, the Bass agreed and started down the right path just as the Screaming Gophers caught up to them, and took the left path. As the team walked along the path, Trent stepped into quicksand.
"Uh, oh, I'm shrinking! Trent yelled out.
"It's quicksand, genius," Noah replied.
*** Confessional Chris ***
"Hahaha! Did you see that? I set it up, but I didn't think anyone would actually walk into it." Chris wiped tears away from his face from laughing so hard.
*** Boney Island ***
Soon enough, Trent was waist-deep in the quicksand.
"I'll save you, Trent!"
"No, Lindsay, you'll just get..." Ignoring Trent's plea, Lindsay jumped into the quicksand and began to sink herself.
"Oh, now we're both stuck," Lindsay screamed.
"Someone do something," Beth panicked.
"Well," Noah replied, giving them a salute and waved, "It was nice knowing you." He was about to leave when LeShawna grabbed his arm.
"Think of something brainiac!"
"Like what?"
Thinking quickly, Cody grabbed the nearest vine and attempted to swing over the quicksand and grab Trent's hand to pull him out. Instead, however, he missed the hand by an inch and crashed into a tree. Thankfully, the vine swung back over to Trent, who was able to grab it and use it to pull both him and Lindsay out of the quicksand.
"My hero," Lindsay exclaimed as she gave Cody a hug and kissing his cheek, which made the poor boy turn beat red.
"Thanks," Trent smiled as he patted Cody's back, "Where'd you learned to do that?"
"Ugh...well..." Cody stammered as Lindsay let him go, "I watch lots of movies."
"I hate to interupt," Heather called over, "But the Killer Bass are ahead of us!"
Suddenly a loud cry could be heard from the forest, turning around to see the pack of beavers with Izzy riding on one their backs. She jumped off it and joined her team, who looked stunned.
"Bye!" Izzy waved goodbye to the beavers as they ran back into the forest.
"Okay, WHAT WAS THAT?" Noah asked.
"Oh, them, they're really softies," Izzy smiled, "Izzy beat them in battle, and they let Izzy join the tribe."
"WHAT!?" The entire Gopher exclaimed.
SECTION
The Bass were making good time as they jogged through their path; everything was looking good until Bridgette suddenly halted.
"Oh, God!"
"What's the hold-up!" Duncan groaned.
Bridgette was looking into the forest, and soon they saw what she caused her to stop. A rabbit lay in the middle of the path, bleeding from its mouth with its leg bent awkwardly. "Poor thing!"
"Who gives a crap!" Duncan barked, "We have the challenge to win!"
Ezekiel put a hand on Bridgette's shoulder and felt her shudder slightly. Looking over at the rabbit, he saw the rabbit twitch slightly and the smallest raise on its chest.
"It's alive, eh." He exclaimed.
Bridgette looked up at him, then at the rabbit incredulously, she then looked back at Ezekiel as he headed out towards the rabbit. The prairie boy knelt down near the rabbit, and saw that it was, in fact, alive; he reached out very gently and picked up the rabbit. The creature's fur was covered with blood and dirt; he looked down at it as he looked back to the others.
"Oh, my God!" Bridgette had said repeatedly, as Ezekiel carefully handed the rabbit to her, she stroked its head gently. "Everything will be okay little bunny," she whimpered.
"What do we do!?" Katie whispered, looking at the rabbit with sadness as Geoff placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Maybe, Chef will know what to do?" Geoff suggested.
"In case you all forgot, we have the challenge to win!" Courtney said gruffly.
The team rallied, Bridgette holding the rabbit to her, and the Killer Bass rushed to the beach. The Gophers arrived from their path at the same time, and both teams set up camp and set about building their campfires; as they struggled to light the fires, Chris was flying overhead in a helicopter, ready to judge the winner.
"This should work," Izzy smiled, "It's a homemade firestarter Izzy made; it contains tree sap from rare breeds of sage. Izzy learned to make it from Inuit tribes in Nunvaut while on the run from the RCMP. Stand back; this is going to be big!"
Everyone, including the Killer Bass, saw that Izzy had a crazy look in her eyes. They took her advice and backed way up. She threw the fire starter into the weak flames and it almost like a nuclear bomb has gone. The explosion sent everyone flying backwards. Izzy was sent into the water, Cody was laying onto of Gwen in an awkward position which he continuously kept apologizing to her for; Ezekiel and Bridgette were also in awkward position.
"Gophers take it," Chris announced through a megaphone," Now all that's left is the canoe trip back, the team that can dock their boats to the beach first will be the winner so hop to it!"
The contestants jumped to their feet and began to make their way back to their canoes leaving Izzy's fire unattended, and it quickly began to spread through the dense forest as while the campers raced to paddle back to the Island. The teams were able to keep pace with each other making for a close race.
"Paddle you wimps!" Duncan screamed, enraged that the Gophers were keeping pace with them.
"Come on!" Trent tried to encourage his teammate as the beach of the camp was in sight.
"And the winner is..." Chris watched as both teams all crashed into the beach at the same time. After replaying the race, it appeared that the Bass crossed the line first.
"The Killer Bass!" Chris smiled, the groans of the Gophers were cut off as a sudden massive wall of fire could be across the lake coming to Boney Island.
"Ooo, pretty lights," Izzy smiled as the flames of fire from Boney Island reflected in her eyes, the rest of the campers starred in shock as the flames grew violent and beginning spreading across the entire Island, as Bridgette took off towards the mess hall to get Chef to help the rabbit, followed by Ezekiel, and Cody, carrying an injured Noah.
*** Mess Hall ***
"Seriously!" Noah bellowed, whining from the pain of his seriously burnt body, "I need some help! And all I get is rubbing clean?"
"That's right pipsqueak! NEXT" Chef barked, as Noah mumbled under his breath while Bridgette came up behind him.
"Oh, sweet rabbit stew!" Chef smiled, looking down at the rabbit in Bridgette's arms, "Nice."
"WHAT?! NO!" Bridgette glared at him, "We found this rabbit on Boney Island. Please help him!"
Chef looked down at the campers and shook his head, mumbled something about them being dumb kids. He led them to the kitchen, clearly off the table, where Bridgette gently placed the rabbit.
"Is he going to be okay?" Bridgette whimpered, and she gripped Ezekiel hand tightly, as they sat inside the mess hall and glanced over to the kitchen very occasional.
"I hope eh," Ezekiel said softly.
"I'd like to stay until I know if he's going to make it or not," Bridgette said, her voice trembling. "You can go back with the others if you want."
"I don't mind staying with you, eh." Ezekiel said softly, making Bridgette smile a little.
Bridgette nodded, and sighed, "You probably think I'm some silly little girl. Worried about a rabbit."
"No, not all, eh," Ezekiel replied, "Kind reminds about this. I found an injured bird in the backyard, and I nursed it back to health."
They sat at the mess hall waiting for several hours, talking, well more so Bridgette talked, while Ezekiel listened. She talked about pets she had, and about her home life, family and other small things, but mostly they just sat in silence. Bridgette was surprised that Ezekiel was listening to her every word; most of the guys at her school didn't usually pay attention to her when she spoke.
"And so my mother is pretty much my best friend. I lost my father when I was very young."
"Oh, that's terrible," he said sadly; he was trying desperately to remember not to do anything gross that would ruin the conversation. "I lost my grandfather when was I young."
"So, how about you?" She asked, "What's life working on a farm like?"
Ezekiel stared at her in disbelief, "You...you want to know about me?"
"Yes,"
He looked around. "Why?"
"Well, I don't really know much about you, and I'd like to."
"Well, it's a lot of work, tending the fields, milking the cows, feeding the animals... it's sometimes difficult, but I like it too, eh. I occasionally go riding with one of our hoses. Do you like animals?"
"Yes I do," Bridgette smiled, "I work and care for injured animals, there aren't words to describe how amazing it is just to see the joy on the animal face when it realizes it can go wherever it wants, but its also a lot of hard work and its sad because I see a lot of death."
"I know how that feels, eh. I work with animals, and seeing them sick and old is sad." Ezekiel chatted on about his escapades on the farm, which included birthing animals, and churning cow and goat's milk into cheese and butter.
*** Confessional Bridgette ***
"Ezekiel and Geoff surprised me. Guys at my school always made fun of me and my love of animals."
*** Mess Hall ***
"So I guess that's something we both like eh," He chuckled nervously, as Bridgette smiled.
"I guess so, "She smiled, "Anything else?"
"As you know I'm homeschooled," he said, still shrugging a little. He wanted to make his life sound interesting to Bridgette. He sighed, mentally as he realized his life was quite boring. "My family owns a big farm, which is a lot of work, which is why I'm homeschooled; my parents need help during the day with chores. In my free time, I like riding my horse and playing with my dog. I like to study languages too; I know eight different languages. Ten if you count English and sign language."
"Could you teach me more Italian? I've always wanted to learn."
He spent the next hour and a half teaching her how to speak, and Bridgette was a quick learner. The surfer girl smiled and giggled at how Ezekiel spoke different languages with his thick Canadian accent. The two continued talking about their lives and the more they talked, the more comfortable they both felt.
Soon Chef stepped out, carrying the rabbit out, who was know peacefully sleeping and in good health." Cry babies; your pet is okay."
Bridgette gasped and held the rabbit to her body, and the two teens left the mess hall, returning to the cabins.
"You were very brave today." She whispered to him.
"I won't say that..." Ezekial rubbed to back of his head.
"Shhh, just take a compliment," She flashed him a smile. When they arrived at the steps of the cabin, she gave him a hug. The prairie boy was completely caught off guard not daring to move as he was completely wrapped in Bridgette's arms, unsure what to do. It was the first time he had been hugged by someone other than his parents. And by a girl, not less. There was definitely something different about being hug by someone who wasn't your parents — the strength of the embrace. More importantly, how warm and soft she felt.
"Good Night or I should mean, Buona Notte." Bridgette smiled after what felt like an eternity of silence between them, and she entered the cabin.
"Bridgette? Oh, he's so cute!" Katie ran over to look at the bunny, with Courtney.
"I know," Bridgette smiled and patted the bunny.
*** Screaming Gophers Cabin ***
Heather was making her way over the cabins, and ran into Cody.
"Hi, Cody," She smiled and gave him a hug, "thanks for saving Lindsay."
"Uhh..." Cody was taken back from the hug, but smiled and petted her back, lightly. "No problem." She let him go and gave him a smiled. The tech boy fluttered and made his way back to his cabin, meeting up with Trent and Gwen cuddling on the steps of the cabin. They flashed him a smiled, but they raised an eyebrow seeing something black stuffed in his pant pocket.
"What's that Cody?" Trent pointed.
"Huh?" Cody looked down at his pockets, and pulled it out, revealing a black bra.
"Huh?" Was all Cody could mutter.
Gwen's shout, a mix of horror and fury, startling everyone; Cody, horrified, watched his dream girl turn towards him, heaving in a fury. "You...you...you...did this?" she hissed, stomping over to him, picking up the bra.
"What?... Wait," Cody stammered, terrified as Gwen approached him with that hurt, furious face.
"WHAT!" LeShawna screamed, storming out of the cabin, along with rest of the Gopher girls.
"Wh...no..that...not..." He looked at Trent and Noah for supported, they just folded their arms.
"Somebody check the cabin?" Heather glared at boy, Gwen stormed in the cabin, and soon came out with a garage bag, opening to reveal the missing laundry.
"YOU LITTLE SICK PERVERTED CREEP!" She slapped Cody across the face, very hard. He reeled from the blow, a red imprint left on his cheek. He was on his knees, taking in deep, shuddering breaths. His thin body was shaking; he looked down at the ground as Gwen stormed off, along with the rest of the girls.
"GOPHERS IT ELIMINATION TIME!" Chris announced through the speakers.
*** Elimination Ceremony ***
The Gophers were gathered at the bonfire ceremony, waiting for their fates to be determined, the girls glared at Cody, all but Beth. She glanced at Heather, she most have been behind this. She turn to Cody, he was looking at the ground wiping away tears. His heart was pounding, he could barely speak without choking up.
"Alright, if I call your name, please come up and collected a marshmallow," Chris smiled, "The first person safe is Noah."
Chris flung the marshmallow at the seriously burnt teen face, causing him to hiss in pain, making the host smile.
"Also safe is Trent, Beth, Gwen Lindsay, Heather and LeShawna." The campers cheered with high fives, leaving Cody and Izzy left without one.
Trent began to tug slightly at his hair.
Izzy covered her mouth in suspense.
"The final marshmallow goes to."
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Izzy!"
The redhead couldn't help but sigh in relief as she picked up her marshmallow. Behind her, Cody slumped in his seat, and slowly made his way down the docks without uttering a word. The only two to see him were Noah and Beth.
The farm girl hugged him tightly, apologing that she couldn't help him. "I'm sorry Cody."
"It's alright," Cody patted her back.
"Well Heather knows how to play this game well." Noah replied, with a chuckle and shake Cody's hand, "Now what am I going to do without any intelligence conversation here to keep me sane?!"
Beth patted Noah on the shoulder, chuckling. "Don't worry, Noah. Maybe you'll get voted off next!"
"Oh, great comfort."
Cody chuckled and walked pasted them, however Beth grabbed his arm and pulled him into a kiss. It wasn't that long, and it certainly wasn't the kind of kiss you see in movies, but it wonderful in its own way, and they could remember about the moment is that when their lips touched, they knew the memory would last forever.
The two smiled as they broken apart, and they walked holding hands before Cody abroad the boat of losers.
