It's that time again. Sam and Snake are back to go over the drama that has swept the competition over the past few chapters.

Breakups, shocking eliminations, tough love? What more could you ask for?

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Hey Snake, it's almost time to go on," Sam said.

Snake nodded. "Give me a second. I need to find something in my dressing room first."

"Okay."

When Snake entered his dressing room, he looked around until he found his clip-on microphone. "There it is," he said as he picked it up from the table.

While he was clipping it on, however, something caught his eye. Something he had forgotten about over the past couple of days. He picked it up, smiling sadly.

It was a picture frame, holding a picture of Snake and his alliance from last season. Himself, Sam, Yusei, Lammy, and Toph. They took the picture in between seasons, when they all had a fun day in New Orleans (something that took a lot of convincing for Snake to agree on, but even he had fun that day). He found it interesting how the five had become friends over their desire to put an end to Nom Nom's reign of terror.

But the part of the picture that stung him the most was seeing Yusei and Lammy. They were next to each other, with Yusei's arm around Lammy's shoulders. Snake knew those two were wonderful together.

Of course, the question in his mind now was how it all went wrong.

*theme song*

The audience cheered when the show started. Both Sam and Snake waved at the crowd as they sat on the center sofa. "Good to see you everyone," Sam cheered.

Snake nodded. "And welcome back to…"

They both cried out, "THE TOTAL DRAMA EVERYTHING 2 AFTERMATH SHOW!" This got cheers from the entire crowd.

"I'm Sam."

"And I'm Snake."

"Now that introductions have been taken care of, let's get this show on the road," Sam said, which caused the crowd to cheer again.

Once the noise died down, Snake said, "And this is a good time to do so. Because since we last saw you guys, the drama with our competitors has been nonstop. Big moves, shocking eliminations, etc. It's obvious that that past few episodes have been crazy."

"Here's a little refresher," Sam said as the screen lowered again.

The first scene showed Lammy knocking Yusei off his jet ski, her taking the Drop of Shame, and a close up of the breakup note Yusei received from her.

The second scene was of the next episode, where Yusei battled Jack the Ripper, and Toph hugged Mega Man right after her elimination, so she could warn him of Ivy.

The third scene was of Inner Moka's battle with the minotaur, then Mandy choosing to eliminate Deadpool, who then told his team about Mandy and Ivy.

The fourth was of Deadpool taking Yusei's duel runner to the Gems, kicking their butts, and crashing the runner through the Nohr castle window.

The fifth was of Ivy and Mandy duping Jak and Daxter, Yusei's reaction to Julie's good-luck message, and Julie brutally turning down Leo.

The screen raised out of view, and everyone was silent.

"We told you the past few days were hectic," Snake said. "But before we continue, let's give an applause to our peanut gallery of competitors!"

Everyone clapped at the peanut gallery, which consisted of Shrek, Maya, Dante, Coco, Princess Bubblegum, Fred, Zelda, Stan, Superman, Goku, Cynder, Ash and Pikachu, Po, and Rarity.

"This time, our first four are joining the group to help us out," Snake said.

Sam continued with, "And of course, two of our friends have helped out with recent challenges."

"Speaking of which, how was it to help out in the Pokémon challenge?" Snake asked Ash.

"It was nice to see everyone again," Ash said. "And I hadn't been back in Pallet Town for awhile before then, so it was great."

Pikachu nodded. "Pika!"

Sam looked at Dante. "And how was being Jack the Ripper, one of the most notorious serial killers in London?"

Dante rolled his eyes. "It was quite fun. But it would've been better if Chris hadn't docked my pay like that."

"Well, you did throw someone into a bus," Snake pointed out.

"How many times do I have to say it? I enjoyed the role too much, and because of it, I got carried away."

Rarity giggled. "That still doesn't change the fact that you threw someone into a bus."

"Shut up."

Sam and Snake both laughed. "Clearly, he's still a little angry," said Snake.

"Oh yeah," Sam stated. "But let's get to the matter at hand. There's going to be a little change to this Aftermath, because this time, we only have three out of the four previously eliminated competitors joining us today. Lammy is not going to be here."

Most of the crowd complained, but Snake quieted them.

"In fact, ever since her shocking departure and its aftershocks, she's gone off the grid. None of us have seen her since that day, and all the media has gotten is a few sightings."

"Not surprising," said Stan. "I wouldn't want to show my face if I was hated for dumping someone out of the blue."

The audience all shouted their assent. "It's impossible to deny that Lammy's shocking move to break up with Yusei was one of the most shocking moments in TDE history," said Snake. "Those two had always been perfect for each other, only for it all to come crashing down. We'll come back to the topic later."

Sam nodded. "But we still have guests for you guys today. Toph, Deadpool, and our duo Jak and Daxter are here. We'll bring Toph and Deadpool on soon. But first, we have an audition tape to show you. This one is from our imaginary friend Coco."

The large screen turned on to show the video.

(Coco's audition tape, submitted by MrTempleguy)

(Coco is in a room painting and she turns around.)

Coco: Cocoocococo! Coco Coco Cocococo!

(We then get a montage of Coco painting a picture of her looking in the sunset when Bloo walks in.)

Bloo: Hey, do you know where the soda cans are?

Coco: COCO COCO COCO! (Go away now!)

Bloo: Okay geez, calm down!

Coco: COCO COCO! COCO! COCO! COCO! (I'm auditioning for a show!)

Bloo: Well how was I supposed to know you were recording an audition tape?!

Coco: COCO COCO COCO!

Bloo: Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?!

Coco: COCO COCO COCO COCO COCO COCO! (We're imaginary, we don't have parents!)

Bloo: Oh yeah...my b-

(A pile of soda cans is then thrown at him.)

*end*

Coco didn't say a "word" as she watched. When it ended, she sighed. "Cococococococo," she said.

"We already know Bloo had one hundred soda cans," Maya said. "You told us ten times."

Sam nodded. "She's right. Now let's bring out our first two guests."

The audience cheered. "But first, let's see how they're doing," Snake said as the screen turned on again. Toph was shaping what looked like a stone, and Deadpool was tapping his foot.

"You don't think anyone's mad at me, do you?" he asked Toph.

"Why would they?"

"Because this thing shows our audition tapes, and they already got to mine."

"What exactly did your tape have?"

"I miiiiiight have impersonated several people, including fellow superheroes, villains, and world leaders. And I also miiiiiight have mentioned that weird video Shrek's in."

"Can you show me later?"

"No can do. Snake burned all the copies."

"Darn."

Sam laughed. "Okay. Let's bring them out."

Snake started it off. "She's a twelve year old girl with a lack of sight, an abundance of the other four senses, and a talent for controlling the earth around her. Add her feisty personality, and you get the blind earthbender known as Toph!"

Toph walked onto the stage, only slightly waving to the audience, and sat down on the empty sofas next to the spies, nodding at both of them as she went.

"And we all know the next guest," Sam told the crowd. "He's a mentally unstable mercenary who compensates for his lack of sanity with steadfast loyalty. He's skilled, he's dangerous, and he's got a passion for chimichangas. Give it up for Deadpool!"

The audience all cheered as Deadpool moonwalked onstage. Yep, he just had to make an entrance in a cool way. He sat down next to Toph.

"Welcome guys," Snake told them. "It's good to have-"

Before he could finish, Deadpool interrupted him. "Before we get this started," he said, "I wanna know. Did you, Shrek, and Superman get your apology cards? Again, I had no idea the audition tape would ever be shown, and even though I don't really regret making it, I'm a little scared."

Snake nodded. "I got it. Water under the bridge."

"Same here," said Superman.

"What they said," Shrek added.

Deadpool sighed in relief. "Good. Because Wolverine still wants to kill me. Cap and Thor have forgotten about it, but I received an ominous warning from Lex Luthor the other day. Plus, I had to pay a few fines to the U.S. and British governments for my impersonations. As for Bruce Banner, I don't even want to begin. Speaking of which, what did Otacon think?"

"He thought you were nuts. He still does."

Toph was laughing. "You impersonated all those people?"

"Yep."

Sam smiled. "So Deadpool, what did you make of your elimination, arguably one of the most shocking in TDE history?"

"Still can't believe Ivy and Mandy are working together. But I don't think their alliance will last. I've been around numerous supervillains, and they have a habit of backstabbing their allies."

"You have a point," Snake said. "Ultimately, they're working on their individual goals. Mandy's mostly in the alliance to get rid of Gaz. Ivy's in it for protection."

"And what about you, Toph?" Sam asked. "What did you think?"

Toph shrugged. "My elimination also had to do with the alliance, and whatever Mandy did was the bargain she made for Ivy partnering up with her. I've figured out that much from watching, or in my case, listening to, the past couple episodes. I'm a little scared at what's coming up."

Snake nodded. "Nicely said. So how have you both been?"

Deadpool laughed slightly. "For starters, I'm permanently banned from the kingdom of Nohr."

This was a shock from the audience. "Leo's dad was that angry with ya?" Shrek asked.

"Yep. That was a window worth millions of dollars, I heard. Speaking of which, why aren't we doing another telethon to raise money and repair it?"

"Has no one told you?" Sam asked.

"Told me what?"

Snake bit his lip and said, "Garon called Chris about the damage and told him that a telethon wasn't going to solve anything. But Chris didn't want to pay for the damages himself. He wants only the one responsible to pay the price. So Deadpool, I'm afraid you're going to have to pay off every cent out of pocket."

(Author's Note: I know I had requests from a couple of you guys to do a telethon to repair the window, but I thought this would be way funnier.)

You know it's shocking to Deadpool when he lasts a whopping ten seconds without saying a word. Once he found his voice, he asked, "Would you guys excuse me for a second?"

Sam nodded, and Deadpool ran off the stage.

Once he was out of sight, the entire building was filled with Deadpool's swearing tirade. It got so bad, in fact, that the next five minutes were heavily censored and replaced with a notice with Chris and Chef covering their ears. The notice said, "We are currently experiencing technical difficulties at the time. Most of them have to do with sound. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Still fuming and cursing violently, Deadpool finally walked back onstage. "You done?" Sam asked.

"I don't even know what currency Nohr has. What do you think?"

A few in the audience looked a little spook. "One question," Fred asked. "Deadpool, are you really afraid of cows?"

Deadpool facepalmed and said, "Yes, it is true. I don't have a specific reason. Cows simply creep me out. At least, from what I heard, that minotaur is taking psychotherapy after Inner Moka beat him up."

"Yeah, that was awesome," said Ash.

"And back home, there are still things to worry about. My wife Shiklah's going off the deep end. Then there's Ellie to worry about-oops!"

Everyone raised their eyebrows. "Who's Ellie?" Sam asked.

Another ten seconds of silence later, Deadpool sighed. "Cat's out of the bag. She's my daughter."

(Author's Note: Yes. He does have a daughter named Eleanor "Ellie".)

Half the crowd gasped, and a few started asking questions. "How did that happen?" Dante asked.

"I don't want to talk about that part," Deadpool stated. "All you need to know is that she's eight years old, and pretty much one of the dearest people I have in my life."

"You simply have to introduce us to her one of these days," Bubblegum said

"Okay, but I decide when."

"Fair enough," Sam said. "Toph, what have you been doing?"

Toph said, "I've been meeting up with a few of Lammy's friends. Apparently, they haven't seen her since her elimination. Just like everyone else."

Snake raised his eyebrows. "Really? Have they gotten word from her at all?"

"No. And I know you guys have seen some sightings."

Sam shook her head. "What has she been doing? I think it's safe to say we're all worried about her."

Snake nodded. "I hope she's okay. I would be hiding too if I wound up leaving instead of doing the right thing and telling the truth."

And that was when Sam raised an eyebrow, turning her attention to her boyfriend. "Uh, Snake?"

"Yes?"

"Did you just put the blame entirely on Lammy?"

Now Snake was raising an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?"

"Well, we both know she had to have a very good reason to do what she did. Those videos Deadpool and Julie got from that fangirl tell us exactly that. We don't know the actual reason yet, but we know there was one. And anyway, Yusei cares about her, and should understand that this was something she had to do alone."

"Sam, I don't mean any disrespect. I just want to point out that both Lammy and Yusei have always had each other's backs. How could they not? Knowing that, it would have been better for them both if Lammy had just come clean about what the necklace has done to her so far. She should have let him help. Instead, she broke Yusei's heart and almost put him out of commission."

Sam shook her head. "What if the consequences of telling Yusei the truth and letting him help turned out to be worse than what happened after she left the plane? I'm sure Lammy thought about that."

"As noble as her intentions might have been, it was completely selfish on her part," Snake told her. "I am sure that if Nom Nom hadn't talked and slapped some sense into him, he would've quit the game by now. He was in that depression because Lammy didn't come clean. Simple as that."

Toph looked at Deadpool. "This may get ugly," she whispered.

"I'll get the wrestling ring now," Deadpool whispered back.

Sam stood up. "I'm sorry, Snake. But I can't agree with you on this. Lammy did what she believed was the right thing to do. Besides, she's our friend."

"She is, but I can't defend someone who leaves her boyfriend without a single word. I just can't."

Toph cleared her throat and said, "Snake, I'm going to have to go with Sam on this one. Why else would I have not voted her off that day? I didn't know she was going to break up with Yusei, but I understood what she was doing."

"I know you and Yusei are also friends," Deadpool told Toph, "but I had a front row seat to when Yusei was hitting rock bottom. I still can't get over him singing "Don't You Want Me" in that sad tone. When someone sad is singing, it's the stuff of nightmare. I know what it's like to have a broken heart. So I'm with Snake all the way on this opinion."

"Glad to see I have your support," Snake told him.

Goku shook his head. "I have to side with Sam on this one. No one does things without a good reason. And Lammy is no different."

"Don't look at me," said Superman. "I'm not taking sides."

"I'm with Snake on this," Zelda stated. Cynder nodded in agreement.

Maya shook her head. "Guys, can we not do this now?"

"Cococococo," said Coco.

"And another one is on my side," Sam pointed out to Snake.

Snake rolled his eyes and told both the crowd and the peanut gallery, "Anyone who agrees that I was right and Lammy should've shown some common sense, raise your hand."

Deadpool, Zelda, Dante, Ash, Stan, Rarity, Cynder, and half the crowd raised their hands.

"And the same goes to anyone on my side who believes Lammy did nothing wrong," Sam said.

Goku, Toph, Maya, Bubblegum, Fred, Dante, Shrek, Coco, Po, and the other half of the crowd raised their hands.

"Well, looks like none of us can agree, can we?" Sam asked Snake.

"Sam, listen to reason. Lammy may have-"

"Snake, you listen to me. We both know that Lammy wanted what she thought was best for everyone."

Sure enough, Snake was fuming. "Is this how we're going to do the entire rest of the show? Neither of us want this to happen."

Po was laughing. "The only way this could get any crazier would be if both Lammy and Yusei's friends were to come onto the stage to tell us all what they think."

Five seconds later, some strange commotion was coming from backstage, from both sides. From the left, it was something like:

"I want to go out there first."

"Wait your turn, Jack."

"Leo, you're stepping on my shoes!"

And from the right, it was this:

"Are you sure about this, Master Onion?"

"I want to give these guys a piece of my mind."

"Patience, Parappa."

After about five seconds, both groups stumbled out onto both sides of the stage, falling on top of each other. From the left, there was a guy with blond hair and a long jacket, another guy with orange spiky hair and an even more yellow-marked face than Yusei's, a young woman wearing a red dress with a weird decoration in her hair, and two similar-looking kids with green hair; one had two ponytails, and the other had one. In addition, that group was also with a familiar looking blue fur lion cub.

On the right side, there was a tall man who seemed to have an onion for a head, a dog wearing a beanie, a blue cat, and a small yellow mouse with what looked like dynamite on her head.

Both groups unscrambled from each other, and the blond looked around. "This was not how I wanted to make an entrance."

"Get over it, Jack," the orange-haired guy said.

The yellow mouse brushed off her dress. "(It wasn't a picnic for me either, pretty boy)," she said (Author's Note: She speaks only in gibberish).

Finally, Sam cleared her throat. "I'm sorry, but we didn't expect you to crash the party like this. You see, we're in a bit of a…..discussion."

"Oh we know," said one of the twins (the boy). "We just wanted to join in."

The dog nodded. "Same here. So we can explain how Lammy's right."

"Uh, you mean Yusei's right?" the other twin asked.

Fred looked at Sam and Snake. "You guys have any idea who they are?" he asked.

Snake nodded. "The blond's Jack, the guy in orange is Crow, the girl with the thing in her hair is Akiza, and the twins are Leo and Luna. They are all Yusei's friends."

"Then that means the cat's Muffy!" Rarity said as she ran over to the Shinx. "You are just the CUTEST THING IN THE WORLD!" She started staring at Muffy.

Sam pointed to the other group. "The dog's name is Parappa, the cat is Katy Kat, the mouse is Ma-san, and the guy with the onion head is Chop Chop Master Onion. They are all friends of Lammy."

Po shook his head. "Me and my big fat mouth."

"So you guys want to point out your friends' sides to the story?" Maya asked.

Crow nodded. "We figured we could help defend our buddy."

"To start, no one breaks his heart unless I have a say in it," Jack said. "I hope I eventually get to find Lammy and give her a piece of her mind."

Akiza laughed. "Truth is, that's only half the reason he's mad at Lammy. The other half is that he still hasn't gotten over being beaten by Lammy in a duel."

Snake nodded. "Well, glad to see I have more supporters on my side," he said, almost mockingly at Sam.

However, Sam bounced back. "You guys are fully on Lammy's side?" she asked Parappa and the others.

"Uh, is that a trick question?" Katy asked. "Yusei's a great guy and all, but he should respect that Lammy wanted to keep him away from whatever was troubling her. Anyone would want to do the same thing."

Master Onion nodded. "I applaud her desire to bear the burden. When I first met her in her dream, she was so unsure of herself. Yusei did good to further boost her confidence, but my student can take care of herself."

Sam nodded. "Well said, Master Onion."

"Hold it," Akiza quipped. "None of us deny that Lammy can take care of herself, but she shouldn't have to take care of herself all the time. That's what friends are for. And she alienated most of those friends when she broke up with Yusei. That's not really a victory."

"(Coming from the girl who once had a mean streak a mile long)," Ma-san pointed out.

"Touche."

Deadpool was laughing. "Could this get any crazier?" he asked.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

"Okay. Asked and answered."

Sam quickly called the producer. "You told us we didn't have to have any songs on this show," she said.

Once she got her answer, she told everyone, "Chris insists that we still have to sing for this. No exceptions. Last time was just a freebie."

"Do we have to sing too?" Parappa asked.

"Yes."

"Dang it. Might as well get it over it. Master Onion, take it away."

(Author's Note: This time, there's no escape for the Aftermath. We're getting a song. And it's more war between those supporting Yusei, and those supporting Lammy. This song is called "We're Right, They're Wrong".)

Onion: (raps) Romance is tough!

Romance is crazy!

But now's the time

To discuss Yusei and Lammy!

Two lovebirds

Who ended too soon!

Came crashing back to Earth

After flying to the Moon!

Sam: I understand your reasoning, Snake

And Lammy's departure was a heartache.

But she did what she believed was right.

Don't take it out on her

You have no right

Snake: This discussion is going to end one way

With you listening to what I have to say

Lammy's decision wasn't the right thing to do

But that all has to get to you.

Onion: It's not over

Until they say it is

But friends on both sides

Want to state their wish

To point out why

Their friend did no harm

But it won't be easy

It'll be all too hard!

Katy: We know she broke Yusei's heart

Ma-san: (But she had a reason for them to part.)

Crow: We don't care what that reason is

Akiza: Because what we want to point out is this.

Jack: I want to find her and make her pay

Parappa: Too bad, because I'm in your way

If you want to find her, you'll have to get through me

Luna: This is getting insane

Leo: Yeah, I see

Muffy: Shinx!

Onion: Never an end

Or a ceasefire

A strong relationship

Is on the wire

Yusei and Lammy

A boy and a girl

Were once sweet together

Now they make me hurl!

(The music ends with a gong sound.)

The crowd all cheered, and everyone sat down.

"Well, now would be a good time to continue on with the Aftermath," Sam said. "Before we get to our next guests, we have two audition tapes to show you guys from Rarity and Julie."

Snake pushed the button to lower the screen, which came on to show Rarity's tape.

(Rarity's audition tape, submitted by MrTempleguy)

(Rarity was in a room, and she was using her horn to make ribbons fly across the room.)

Rarity: I think I should be in Total drama Everything! While I may not be the smartest or the strongest, I do plan to make it far in the game show.

(The camera then shows a dress she has just made.)

Rarity: Ta-da! Anyways I hope you guys-

(Rainbow Dash then crashes through the window and skids across the floor.)

Rarity: Rainbow Dash, I say, what are you doing here?!

Rainbow Dash: I...nevermind. Sorry for crashing in.

Rarity: Wait...what were you doing?

Rainbow Dash: N-nothing!

(Rarity then sees Rainbow Dash drop a picture. She picks it up and it reveals to the camera a picture of Rainbow and Fluttershy having a tea party.)

Rarity: Rainbow Dash, is this wha-?

Rainbow Dash knocks over the camera on purpose, blushing.

*end*

Rarity was shaking her head and laughing. "I hope you know that Rainbow Dash won't be too happy that this is being broadcast to the entire world."

"We'll pay her the embarrassment fee later," Sam said. "We already had to pay ten of those fees when we showed Deadpool's audition tape."

Deadpool nodded. "It's true. Hey, are we going to get to Julie's tape now?"

"Hold your horses," Snake told him. A split second later, Deadpool was shown having two miniature horses held in his arms (I got that from a Phineas and Ferb episode).

Snake shook his head in disbelief, then turned the screen back on for Julie's tape.

(Julie's audition tape, submitted by Pepsi-Percy)

Julie: Uhm, hello there! My name is Julie Yamamoto and I am coming from a town named Bellwood. And I like playing tennis and hanging out with my boyfriend Ben. And what makes me to good contestant for Total Drama Everything... (When Julie was about to say that, Ben suddenly comes into her room.)

Ben: Hey, Julie. Are you almost done with your audition for Total Drama? I really need it for my audition.

Julie: (gives a little bit of a sigh) Don't worry, Ben. It's almost done.

Ben: Good, 'cause I have a little bit of an idea for getting either one of us into this show.

Julie: (gives Ben a confused stare) And what would that be, if I may ask, Ben?

Ben: (gives Julie a cool smile) IT'S HERO TIME! (Suddenly. Ben activates his Omnitrix, and a green strong light is only seen in the camera. After the light goed down, suddenly instead of Ben there, a muscular humanoid tiger with green eyes and the Omnitrix located in the center of his chest is in his place. That tiger creature is one of Ben's transformations, Rath.)

Rath: RATH! (Suddenly Rath takes Julie's camera and starts to give the camera a dangerous glare.) LEMME TELL YA SOMETHIN', TOTAL DRAMA OR WHATEVER YA CALL IT! IF YOU DON'T HAVE JULIE OF RATH IN THIS STUPID SHOW, RATH WILL MAKE SURE TO CRUSH YOUR BONES INTO DUST, AND THEN... (Before Rath says anything more, Julie suddenly takes her camera to her computer table, and starts to nervously try to hold back Rath from the camera.)

Julie: Sorry about that! But if I were you, you should probably choose one of us.

Rath: LET GO OF RATH, JULIE! RATH IS NOT DONE WITH THOSE STUPID AND LAZY... (And just when Rath is about to say his final word, Julie turns off her camera.)

*end*

Deadpool looked at the screen long after the video ended. "I can understand a few things about why he and Julie broke up," he said.

"Speaking of which," Sam asked, "what did you think of Julie completely shutting out Leo?"

"Hmm?"

"The prince of Nohr," Luna said. "The one in love with Julie."

"Oh," said Leo.

Deadpool said, "I completely understand why she doesn't want to date him, even though she likes him. But this time, she has taken it too far. It's been months since her breakup with Ben. I think she's grieved long enough. It's time for her to move on. That is, if Leo will give her another chance."

"Look at the love expert over here," Toph said teasingly.

"Proud of it."

Snake rolled his eyes. "Now that that's done, we still have Jak and Daxter to bring out!"

"And maybe he'll agree with me on Lammy not being to blame," Sam said.

"You wish! Now, let's see how they're doing."

The crowd cheered, and the screen came on to show the duo. Daxter was bouncing on the walls, and Jak was trying to dodge.

"I thought we agreed that you wouldn't have anymore caffeine," Jak said.

"I didn't. I just wanted to bounce on the walls for no reason."

Jak smirked. "Figured you would."

"Quick question: when are we going to go out there? I can't wait to beat up anyone who calls me 'weasel'."

Then Jak noticed the screen. "I don't think you'll be able to beat anyone up."

Daxter then stopped bouncing off the walls and saw the screen. "Dang it."

They started walking to the stage, and the screen shut off. Sam got ready to announce the duo.

"Our next two guests are a duo to behold. One's an edgy guy with the powers of the environment, and the other is an ottsel with a passion for craziness. Ladies and gentleman, it's Jak and Daxter!"

Jak walked out onto the stage and waved, with Daxter on his shoulder and also waving to the crowd, as well as flexing his miniscule muscles. Both went to sit down next to Toph.

"Jak, Daxter, welcome to the show," Snake said.

"This looks bigger than it did on TV," said Jak.

Daxter was staring everyone down. "Anyone who calls me weasel is going to get it. Yes, I'm also talking to you, friends of Lammy and Yusei."

Katy scooted a little bit further away.

"Yeah. That's what I thought, kitty."

"So how have you guys been since leaving the plane?" Snake asked.

Daxter smirked. "We've been having a blast, though Tess had to clear something up with me. Turns out, she was just kidding about being pregnant."

"I think that was the most awkward conversation those two had ever been in," Jak said. "It wasn't fun to watch."

"What about you and Keira?" Sam asked.

Jak said, "Well, she wasn't mad at me for getting brainwashed and forgetting Daxter. That much, I am glad. I actually can't remember anything that I did while I was brainwashed, though. I had to watch the episode to find out what had happened. Needless to say, I'm embarrassed."

"And while I'm not mad either, we both agree that Jak owes me big time," Daxter said, sniggering.

"Daxter, I get it already. You don't have to cram it down my throat fifty times a day. I said I would do everything on your 'What Jak Has to Do For Forgetting Daxter' list. And I'm going to do them."

Dante asked, "What was on that list anyway?"

Jak replied, "I can't say every entry, but one of them is to 'Prank call Chris'."

This gave Deadpool an idea. "Here," he said to Jak, handing him a cell phone. "I want to see this."

"Okay then. I guess we're doing this right now." Quickly, he dialed Chris' number, and everyone went silent.

After a few seconds, the phone was answered. "What is it, whoever you are?" Chris answered from the other end. "This had better not be a waste of mine."

"Hello, Mr. McLean," Jak said, with a faux voice. "I just called to let you know that you have been named Official Hair Gel Spokesperson of the Year."

"Really?"

"Yes, really."

From the other end, there was a squeal of delight. "I had always wanted to be Hair Gel Spokesperson! Tell me, can I accept my award immediately?"

"Of course. It's at a remote village in the Alps. We need this location because those who didn't win are very jealous of you, Mr. McLean. Don't worry about the name of the village. You'll find it."

"CHEF! TURN THE PLANE AROUND! WE'RE HEADED FOR A LITTLE DETOUR! I'M OFFICIAL HAIR GEL SPOKESPERSON OF THE YEAR!"

Everyone heard the plane suddenly turn, and everyone on the plane was screaming from the sharp u-turn.

"Thank you for this," Chris said. "I'll see you when I get there."

"And we shall see you soon, sir."

Jak then hung up, and everyone in the entire studio started to laugh. "Okay, Daxter. You were right. That was totally worth it."

"Told you so, Jak."

"Wait until he realizes the trick," Deadpool said. "He'll probably blame me."

"That guy really needs to check his caller ID," said Crow.

Once the laughing had subsided, Snake asked, "Out of curiosity, what did you think of Lammy breaking up with Yusei?"

Jak said, "We actually have differing views over what happened. I'm with Lammy. She wanted to protect Yusei from whatever was going on. I would do the same thing if it were me."

"Ha!" Parappa exclaimed at Jack (note the different spellings) and the others.

"I disagree," Daxter said. "Why? Because Lammy had absolutely no right to break the heart of a guy who's been there for her since near the beginning. I'm no softie, but I do know a thing or two about love. Don't ask why."

At that point, Jack looked at Parappa and the others in a smug way, and Muffy stuck her tongue out.

"You're going to let her do that?" Master Onion asked.

"Yes, we will. Deal with it, onion head."

Sam looked at Snake. "Well, at least Jak has a sensible view on the situation."

"But Daxter has the correct opinion."

"I hope you know that we're disagreeing too, but we're not trying to prove each other wrong," Jak said.

"Stay out of this!"

Suddenly, Sam and Snake started talking to each other, very fact and increasingly frustrating. This lasted about thirty seconds before Deadpool asked, "Guys, do we still have audition tapes?"

Both looked at him in anger, but they were reminded. "Oh yeah," Sam said. "We did."

She took out a piece of paper, which had the list of available audition tapes. "Well, we still have two audition tapes from….dang it….Yusei and Lammy themselves."

"Talk about ironic," said Shrek.

"I think we'll start with Lammy," said Snake, turning on the screen.

(Lammy's audition tape, submitted by Vegetalucard)

(We see Lammy in front of a camera, very nervous.)

Lammy: Ok, take 12. Hi, I'm Lammy. Lead guitarist of MilkCan. (murmurs) Accidentally said I was lead singer in one of these. (stops murmuring) And I would like to be on Total Drama Everything. Now I know I'm not the smartest person, or strongest, or best looking, or bravest. In fact my band is locking me in here until I do a decent audition.

Katy: (offscreen) You can do it Lammy!

Lammy: But I do think this will be a great opportunity for me to get out, conquer my shyness, and meet people.

Parappa: (offscreen) And win the prize money!

Lammy: What, Parappa?! what are you doing here?

Parappa: (offscreen) Master Onion's here too!

Onion: (offscreen) Win this Lammy, and do it for the honor of the dojo. The very honor Parappa lost when he helped those monkeys.

Parappa: (offscreen) Hey, I didn't know they were evil, okay?!

(As they do this, Lammy slowly sinks into her seat.)

Lammy: Please consider me for the game.

*end*

"(It literally took her twelve tries to get it right)," Ma-san said.

Sam looked at the screen. "Well, it looks like you cared enough to make sure she had a decent audition."

"Of course," Master Onion stated. "We would all do anything for her. My students never get left behind by their friends. I helped her by telling her about the dojo I lost, but it remains in my mind and has a casino. Dojo, casino, it's all in the mind."

Snake nodded. "Cool."

"You going to get to Yusei's tape now?" Leo asked.

Sam nodded, and the screen turned on again.

(Yusei's audition tape, submitted by Master Saixus)

Yusei: Uh, hello. My name is Yusei Fudo and this is my audition for Total Drama Everything. I'm a duelist from New Domino City and a pretty good mechanic.

Crow: (stands behind the camera) Pretty good? Guys, this guy managed to make a Duel-Runner with nothing but some junk he found at the scrapyard.

Yusei: (sigh) Crow is correct, I did built my Duel-Runner all by myself but-.

Leo: (appears on the screen) Oh oh, and don't forget to tell them about how you defeated the Dark Signers and those guys from Yliaster.

Luna: (also appears on the screen) Leo, don't just walk in when Yusei is trying to make a video.

Leo: But you just walked into the video yourself.

Luna: Only to get you out of it. (She starts pulling Leo on his ear.)

Leo : Aw, Aw! Okay! Okay already sis, geez. (leaves the video)

Yusei : So, uh yeah. Now where was I? Oh yes, I'm also-.

Jack: (walks into video) What on earth are you guys doing?

Crow: Jack! Get out of the video. We're making an audition tape with Yusei for that Total Drama Everything show.

Jack: Wait. You guys were serious about that? I thought we agreed that if anybody was gonna star in that game, it should be me.

Crow: And we already told you that we can send more than one audition tape. Now please get out of the video.

Jack: Fine then, but I want that camera once you're done with it. (walks out of the video)

Yusei: (sigh) Anybody else want to interrupt this video. … No? … Okay, maybe it's best if we start over agai-.

Akiza (walks into video): Hey guys. How's it going?

Yusei: (sighs in frustration).

Crow: (thinks for a minute) Okay, you know what, everybody get into the video.

Yusei: Huh? What are you doing Crow.

Crow: Just keep taking. (Crow says this as he, Jack, Akiza, Leo and Luna go stand behind Yusei.)

Yusei: (starts to cheer up as his friends stand with him) So like I said, I'm a good duelist, mechanic and a guy who's really lucky to have friends like these." (Leo and Luna start smiling, Jack has half his face turned away from the camera but still smiles, Akiza closes her eyes and cheerfully smiles at the camera while Crow leans on Yusei's head and also starts smiling.)

Yusei: This was my audition, and thanks for your attention.

*end*

"Wow," Sam said. "You guy really care about him too."

Akiza nodded. "And why wouldn't we?"

"That's why I still hope I don't find that lamb," Jack said.

"It was one duel!" Crow exclaimed. "Get over it!"

Katy stepped forward. "We admit that you care for him and want to defend him, but you guys need to understand that Lammy was never to blame for this, and-"

Before she continued, Parappa interrupted her.

"I forgot to mention something," he said. "A couple weeks ago, not long after Lammy was eliminated, I got a strange phone call from someone. I can't be sure who it was, but they were breathing deeply into the phone. Anyone have an explanation?"

Everyone onstage shook their heads. "Was it around the time we were allowed to call home for Christmas?" Jak asked.

"Yes. I don't know what it's supposed to mean."

Jack just scoffed and said, "Probably someone telling you we were right."

"You guys need to stop it," Master Onion stated. "Lammy should have no blame in any of this. Whatever caused her to do what she did, it had to do with that necklace."

"She had good intentions," Crow said. "But she still didn't even explain. If she had, things wouldn't have been so bad for her or Yusei."

"Perhaps you all need to see that maybe it wouldn't have happened if Yusei had let her spare him the pain!"

Then Jack, Crow, Akiza, Master Onion, Ma-san, Parappa, and Katy all yelled, "THAT'S IT!"

Cue the fistfight (the comedic chicken fight where there's that smoke cloud obscuring the action)!

The group started fighting, but while they did, Leo and Luna came to the couch by Sam and Snake. "Want some popcorn?" Luna asked

"You're not joining the fight?"

"We've seen these kinds of fights on television," Leo explained. "And it's funnier for both of us if we watch and enjoy. There's plenty of popcorn here if you want some."

Sam nodded. "Thanks."

She and Snake were each handed a bag. "I think it would be best not to carry this argument any further," Snake said.

"I agree," Sam said as the fighting cloud inched near them at times. "This is getting ridiculous."

"Besides, their breakup affects us all the same way. Whoever we blame, it changes nothing."

Then Sam and Snake smiled. "And we certainly don't want to be like those guys," Sam said, pointing at the fighting cloud.

"Let's agree never to argue about this again," Snake stated.

"Agreed." Then the two kissed. And the twins rolled their eyes. "Get a room," Leo told them.

Once that was over, Snake turned to Deadpool, Toph, and Jak/Daxter. "One more question," he said. "A viewer wants to know who you guys want to win.

Deadpool smiled. "Yusei and Julie. Duh."

"Yusei's my friend, but I wouldn't mind Mega Man winning," Toph answered.

Jak said, "We're both going for Double D. Why? The underdogs are interesting."

"Well, that's pretty much it for today's Aftermath," Sam said. "We'll come back for the third Aftermath soon."

Snake nodded. "Until then, be sure to watch Total Drama Everything 2. Still more drama to come, I promise."

"Thank you, and see you guys next time!" they both said. "Goodnight, everybody!" They got a standing ovation.

After that, everyone onstage each got a bag of popcorn while the fight was still going on in the background.

(That night…)

The studio was being cleaned, but while someone was sweeping, a familiar silhouette was seen behind the center sofa.

"It's go-time," said the figure. "McLean will now know not to mess with me."

She finished with an evil laugh.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

And another Aftermath is done.

This time, there was a lot more drama than last time. It all came back to the stunning breakup of Yusammy. Some questions have been answered, some are left unanswered, and we have new questions.

On top of that, Yusei's friends crashed the show, as did Lammy's friends. Apparently, they can't agree right now. I think that fistfight proves it. But don't worry. I'm sure things will be okay for both sides.

Many of you have already figured it out, and this chapter confirms it. Yes, Lammy did what she did in order to protect Yusei. From what exactly, that's still hard to find out. But whatever it is, it has something to do with that necklace they found in Egypt.

And not only is Deadpool afraid of cows, but he also has a daughter. Cool.

I am very sorry to those of you who wanted a telethon, but I had already planned this chapter well in advance. Too planned for me to change anything. At least Deadpool's going to have to work that window off in any possible way. To be honest, that's more fun to watch.

And now, for info on the next challenge…

It's off to Zimbabwe and the Zambezi River, where the competitors are doing a pseudo-repeat from a Ridonculous Race challenge. Here, one competitor is left with the consequences of their decisions, and does what they can to fix it. Another competitor finds help where he least expected it, as well as a cryptic message for a teammate. Everyone starts to discuss what they had always wondered, one person comes clean, and an unforeseen accident leaves one team sad to lose a member.

But before that, another bonus chapter is coming up, involving Chris' trip to receive his "award", as well as one person getting a visit from someone whom everyone is worried about, in order to seek help for their current problem and come to terms with their decisions.

Well, until then, read and review, fav and follow, send in challenge suggestions and locations, give me good-luck messages and audition tapes, ask questions to the eliminated competitors, and keep voting for your favorite competitor. I'll see you guys soon.

(The fighting group moves right past.)

Well, and that still going on. Fun times. TheMasterKat out!
