The screen slowly fades away from being completely dark and begins showing some a place which appeared to have a stage on top of it along with a bunch of people sitting down in the seats in seats in front of the stage. On top of the stage is a giant TV hanging from the ceiling along with two seats right in front of it, the seat on the left is green while the one on the right is black. Another thing to note are the three benches that seem to be able to hold up to four people each and that the stage lights are all currently off.
"Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to-!" The audience heard a voice coming from the side of the stage which caused all the lights to turn on. The voice sounds upbeat and excited, their footsteps were heard going up the stairs on the left side of the stage.
"The part of the show where we interview the eliminated contestants." Another voice is heard, this one came from the right side of the stage and walked onto the stage much slower. It had sounded like the person didn't sound too host-like which completely contrasted with the other voice.
"Come on, put in more excitement for the introduction of this!" The first voice responds, although the conversation in the middle of the introduction did seem unplanned.
"You can take care of that part, it's not like I'd even top your skills as a potential host anyways." The other voice responded and now it's clear that the person who did respond was the opposite of the person they were speaking to.
"Don't be so down on yourself-!" This conversation continued on very awkwardly.
"We should probably hurry up, this introduction has definitely gone on longer than it should." Voice number two finally points out, the audience cheers for this in agreement.
"Okay! EVERYONE WELCOME TO..." Voice number one began announcing once more and two of the stage lights shine towards the middle of the stage right on time. The two voices are finally revealed and both of them are revealed to be two people who have already appeared in this story, the person standing in the left light is Erin Summers who smiled happily at the camera's. On the other light there was Kaylee Jordan who didn't seem to be enthusiastic and she even looked away from the camera and her eyes were directed at the ground.
"THE AFTERMATH!" Erin loudly announces, meanwhile Kay half-heartedly and quietly speaks in unison with the host. However due to her softer voice, she's barely heard and instead Erin's voice is the only one really heard shortly before a bunch of other stage lights turn on to once again to show off the entire stage. The two hosts sit down on their respective seats in front of the TV with the excited one of the duo sitting down in the green seat, meanwhile the reserved member of the duo sat down in the black seat.
"Here we'll speak with the contestants who have been eliminated so far in this season, one thing to note is that not all the eliminated contestants are right here with us and one of the contestant will be joining us using Video Call!" Erin starts explaining the aftermath.
"The two contestant is Brooke Sinclair." Kay continues the exposition, albeit in a tone that sounds more concerned with giving out information than making it sound interesting.
"Indeed! In fact we're going to ask her questions that the audience has sent in for her and so I'm sure that tonight is going to be quite the show even despite that!" Erin sounds like she's having the time of her life.
"Also if you're wondering why Brooke's not here, it's so she can spend time with her girlfriend since the eliminated contestants are sent home but we request for them to come back for aftermaths, however unlike Ciara she doesn't feel like she can go away from Valerie Rodriguez just yet and because Video Calls are allowed we accepted her request." Kay goes into specifics on why the eliminated contestant can't arrive at this aftermath.
"We're going to interact with the cast and even try helping them get through hard times if they feel any bad-will after their unfortunate eliminations." Erin attempts to add onto the introduction in the first way which came to mind.
"Although we're lucky to have Ingrid be mostly healed up and ready to answer questions, but I have a feeling that she might not in the best physical and emotional position after what happened to her." Kay abruptly begins speaking her mind which had began to think negatively.
"...Well it's a little hard being positive after hearing that, however I'll try my best to light up the mood by introducing everyone who has been eliminated this season in the order they've been eliminated in, so lets get started!" Erin begins announcing before she points to the side of the stage and one of the stage lights shine at the top of the steps for the left side.
"Aaand Now You See Me!" A familiar voice is heard and smoke covers the light before a silhouette is seen standing behind the smoke. Unfortunately this had caused Erin to sneeze due to some of the smoke going into her direction, she quickly takes a peek around the place before sighing in relief and paying attention to who the stage light is shining on. The smoke slowly but surely clears and the first contestant who was eliminated this season is seen standing on her feet after the smoke clears.
"Welcome the Princess of Pranks herself-!" Erin begins introducing the contestant.
"That's not on the card." Kay is heard pointing out while holding some cards in her hands.
"Kennedy Rose Lee!" Erin exclaims, it sounds like she had added the nickname entirely by herself but that aside the newly nicknamed 'Princess of Pranks' reveals herself. The audience clapped at the little trick she did which makes Kennedy bow to them and giggle due to the pleasant feedback she had received from the crowd. She looks over at the three benches nearby and she goes to sit down at the one in the front of the three.
"And if you're all wondering why I introduced myself the way I did, it's because Vince told me it'd be a nice reference." Kennedy quickly explains herself before looking over at the hosts for the aftermath.
"Of course he did." Kay simply responds before looking at the side of the stage.
"Well if you need to take a seat Kennedy, then you can do so." Erin states while looking at the prankster who stopped in front of her.
"Actually, I'd like for you to take this book of mines." Kennedy says before pulling a notebook from out of her pocket and she holds it in front of her using her fingernails.
"I shall do what you're currently telling me to." Erin confirms before grabbing the book and she blinks upon holding it.
"Thank goodness that all went to plan, anyways what'd you think of my prank?" Kennedy asks, Erin then chuckles and she looks at her hands and turns it to look at the side of it which showed all the pages in the book. Glue had been seen sticking all the papers together and Erin tries pulling her hands off the book only for her to be unable to do so. She slowly looks over at the person who had caused her hands to be stuck to a book which had already been glued together.
"Well played." Erin simply says before laughing a bit at the fact she fell for a prank which should've been obvious.
"Glad you can take a joke, anyways I'll help your hands get unstuck." Kennedy confirms, pulling out multiple anti-glue needles from out of her and she carefully starts ungluing her prank's victims' hand from the book.
"The next contestant can get onto the stage now." Kay decides to keep the show going on without slowing down too much.
"Well it's a shame no guys are up on this stage yet, but I'm not going to complain too much since shit will go down and so maybe I could sneak in a-" Another familiar voice begins speaking and so one of the stage lights turn to the left side of the stage once more. Eventually the person who had been speaking had made their way up the stairs where they're seen completely. Parts of the crowd cheered but the rest of them didn't know how to react to the 'entrance' which the person in question had just made.
"Welcome to the Aftermath, Jun Li Feng." Kay casually introduces Li who nods upon being introduced.
"Thanks for the introduction, also cheer right now if you'd like to see Sunny eliminated." Li swiftly turns his attention to the audience, they comply to his request and most of the audience cheers. He chuckles at this and is secretly glad he got most of the crowd to cheer for him considering his first words made them unsure if they should've even reacted. Afterwards he walks past Kennedy who finally finished detaching one of the aftermath's hosts' hands from off a book.
"As expected, that was sticky result." Kennedy comments and smiles at what she's done.
"That's what she said." Li remarks while walking past the prankster with a smile on his face also, he sat down at the bench in the middle without much hesitation or thoughts. Kennedy blinks at his remark before she puts the needles back in her pockets and she decides to approach the guy who had just caught her attention.
"You were quick on the verbal trigger there, mind telling me more of them?" Kennedy requests, sitting down on the bench in the front while facing at the guy behind her.
"Don't need to ask me twice, but if this is a setup for another prank of yours then-" Li starts responding, next thing he knows he notices a spitball which came out of what had appeared like a water gun and it goes flying at him. Luckily thanks to him actually having a good idea something like this was going to happen he is able to just barely move his head out the way and the paper goes flying past him.
"Wait...that didn't work?" Kennedy questions, looking at him with widened eyes upon seeing this.
"Heh, looks like your prank didn't work on me, next time try harder if you'd like to catch me off-guard." Li states before looking at where the spitball had gone. The paper bounced off a mini-trampoline which had been placed on the ground and it goes flying before landing in Erin's eye on completely accident.
"Ack! Well at least this isn't too serious of pain!" Erin optimistically comments while clutching her left eye after the object had bounced off of it.
"Yeah, it's nice to see you're alright for the most part this time." Kay responds before picking up the small piece of paper and she throws it behind the curtains where a hand grabbed it and pulled it in.
"I'll make sure to get you with one of my pranks, Jun Li Feng!" Kennedy declares as she stands up on her feet and points at the person she's now targeting with her pranks.
"Be my guest." Li simply responds to what had been said to him, he seemed to be curious about what other tricks she had up her sleeve.
"Shall we get to introducing our next eliminated contestant now? I'm not sure if we should move on without asking that." Kay questions while looking over at the first two people who had been eliminated this season.
"Sure." Kennedy and Li both answers, Kennedy then sits back down on her bench while Li looks past her and at the edge of the left side of the stage like he's expecting someone to come up from there.
"Excellent! Now next eliminated contestant, come on up here!" Erin directs, her left eye slowly started to regain its vision. Suddenly everyone hears a phone ringing nearby and the camera turns to face the direction in which everyone had been hearing it come from and they all saw whose phone it was. Li chuckled before pulling out his phone from his shirt and he answers it before holding it up to his ear, but first he had cleared his throat.
"I don't know who you are, I don't know what you want, if you're looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money...but what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now that will be the end of it, I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you...and I will kill you." Li speaks into the phone, he sounded like he was doing his best Liam Neeson impression.
"...Good luck." The voice over the phone responds before footsteps, the voice had also been heard coming from the side of the stage and everyone looks over at that direction. Li chuckles before hanging up his phone and he places it in his pocket before footsteps are heard walking up the stairs that lead onto the stage. The person slowly steps into the spotlight and he's seen taking shades off his face while doing this.
"Taking off some glasses doesn't immediately make you look better." Li immediately points out.
"Th-They d-do!" The person responds, completely ruining their entrance which looked like it was meant to be a dramatic one.
"Welcome to the stage, Vince Esposito." Kay casually greets Vince who gulps upon realizing what happened.
"...S-Say h-hello to my little friend!" Vince makes another reference to try and sound cool once again.
"Oh, so it's little?~" Li questions with an amused smile on his face.
"...You're not helping right n-now." Vince remarks at the person who had now been making him fumble his words horrendously, he then sighs before walking towards the three benches and he looks at the one behind the other two benches.
"Well it's not like I'm Alex so expecting me to exactly be like him isn't all that realistic of an expectation, although I guess I enjoy making you act like you did on the show a bit too much." Li explains, he notices Kennedy doing something in front of him but he doesn't pay too much attention to this.
"N-No k-kidding, but even though I'm complaining, thanks for at least originally going with my plan for my entrance." Vince says, luckily he's able to recompose himself and thank the The Androgynous ABC.
"You're welcome, honestly the only reason why I'm messing around with you is because you're quite a fun guy to play around with." Li explains himself.
"Thanks, at least you're someone I know I can trust." Vince responds before walking over to the direction of the new friend he seemed to have made after getting eliminated thirdly this season.
"Glad you see me that why, on a side note I'm not sure why you didn't go for a different movie reference like-" Li starts responding.
"I live my life a quarter mile at a time?" Jackie suddenly responds, already standing on the left side of the stage as the stage light turns to go shine upon it. The crowd cheers at her sudden entrance which makes the one-legged former contestant giggle and so she waves at the crowd while they cheered for her. After doing this she looks over at the hosts of the aftermath.
"You forgot to wait for our cue, but its too late to do anything about it now so welcome to the stage Jackie Jay Cox." Kay introduces the fourth person to arrive even though she had arrived too early. Jackie waves before walking over to the rest of the eliminated contestants who had arrived to the aftermath thus far. She looks over at the hosts while passing them and waves at them.
"Sorry for arriving too early, I'll make sure to wait for the signal next time." Jackie comments with a nervous smile on her face.
"It's alright, everyone makes mistakes so it doesn't matter if we do, but how we bounce back from them and so I'm confident you'll keep your word!" Erin responds, giving a reassuring smile while she was at it.
"Thanks! I'll try my best." Jackie declares before looking over at the three eliminated contestants who had arrived so far and she began walking up to them on her prosthetic leg.
"Hey, do you need help with your leg?" Erin asks, her eyes were glued to the one-legged girl's not-real leg.
"...It depends, in which way can you help me with my prosthetic leg? It feels like I could trip at any moment with it." Jackie explains while looking down at it.
"I'd like to create a new mechanical leg for you, especially if it's to help you trip less when Evan's not around to catch you." Erin offers up her invention skills, this made Jackie's eyes widened.
"Y-You can do that?!" Jackie asks with sparkles suddenly appearing in her eyes.
"Of course I can! Anything is possible as long as you do it for the right reasons believing you can do it!" Erin optimistically yells on out, she then stands up and the two of them look at each other with smiles on each of their faces.
"I like your thinking!" Jackie agrees with the overly-optimistic aftermath host.
"Thanks! Would you like to break out into song?"
"I'm not a good singer, but I'll try my best!"
"Our friendship goes beyond,"
The two girls suddenly break out into song like they say, immediately Erin and Jackie begin acting like they're the best-est of friends.
"Your average kind of bond."
Erin and Jackie then hug each other while everyone else on the stage watched in confusion before all the other stage lights went off.
"But not because we're gay,"
Jackie lightly pushes herself away from the hug upon realizing how the situation looked like, the stage lights were all only on her and the girl who offered to make her a new leg.
"No, not because we're gay."
Erin's eyes widened after she too noticed how things looked and she waves her hands in front of her, singing this part to herself also while staring straight into the camera.
"We're close, but not that way,"
The girls start singing in unison once more in order to elaborate on what they had said earlier and immediately started backtracking on it.
"The only girl that I looove is my mom."
Both of them continued to speak, Erin even pulled out a cross from out of her pocket and she kissed it before tossing it into the air where a hand caught it and ran off the stage with it.
"'Cause all that it takes is a little-!"
Jackie and Erin abruptly skips to the chorus and look at each other once more.
"Sorry to interrupt you two, but we have to introduce the rest of the contestants later so perhaps you both can save this for another time." Kay cuts off the song, this caused the stage lights to shine on everyone else.
"Whoops, we're sorry for doing that." Jackie admits before awkwardly chuckling along with her newfound friend.
"Agreed but I'll make sure to send you the new leg later on." Erin confirms while pointing at the girl, she sat down in her chair after speaking.
"I'll try my best to remember that!" Jackie responds, after speaking she sat down alongside Kennedy who she notices writing down in the notebook she had brought but chooses not to interrupt her.
"Like we mentioned earlier one of the contestants won't be joining us live but will instead be joining us on this big TV screen right about-" Kay goes completely silent and right on cue the TV behind them turns on to show the face of the fifth eliminated contestant this season.
"Welcome to the Aftermath digitally, Brooke Sinclair!" Erin introduces the contestant.
"Hello TV people once again! Hello everyone else in your seats also, it's nice to be back!" Brooke says, she seemed to be using her computer and is currently sitting down on her couch while the lights in her room all had been turned on. Rather than her usual tanktop she wears, she's currently wearing a shirt which says the words 'I ship Gwen x Cody' on it. There's also a wide and happy smile on her face and she looks to the side of her where another voice had been heard getting closer and closer to her.
"I'm on my waaaaaaay!" The other voice shouts before another girl sat down by Brooke and she too had been smiling.
"And also with Brooke we have her girlfriend, Valerie Rodriguez!" Erin loudly confirms who the girl other is.
"Hello there, we're here and ready to answer questions!" Valerie declares before looking over at her girlfriend and the two of them looked at each other. Internally they both knew what to do now and so they quickly kissed each other since they knew everyone else would be uncomfortable if they were kissing for too long. After they kissed they looked at their camera and got ready to answer some questions.
"Now we're going to round out the contestants pre-swap with-!" Erin starts saying and she pauses in order to give the sixth eliminated contestant of the season to take the stage.
"..." This person said nothing and simply remained silent while the stage lights had started to dim a little while the footsteps got closer to the top of the stairs leading onto the stage. Eventually the silent contestant stood on the left side of the stage before looking towards the light and one of the stage lights turned completely off. This contestant looks away from the stage lights and they all slowly started to shine brightly once more which clearly showed who the eerily silent person had been.
"Kris Raven 'Rae' Yang." Kay decided to introduce the next contestant, Rae then looks over at the host upon hearing her say her name before deciding to walk up to her.
"Thanks for the introduction." Rae simply responds before the other host of the aftermath nods at her and she looks over at the rest of the contestants nearby. The audience were all dead silent at odd one's out arrival and it was clear that everyone had been too scared to say anything due to uncertainty of how the girl would react to them. The TV which Brooke had been on also blacked out and turned on once Rae had passed it.
"I can't blame everyone for being completely silent, her presence alone is intimidating considering everything going on around us." Kay explains inside of her mind.
"W-Well that was quite the en-entrance!" Erin attempts to try and lighten up the mood before some chattering from the audience is heard.
"She's so scary, Why in the world did they allow her onto Total Drama?" One person in the audience could be heard whispering because not everyone in the audience were talking.
"I love the vibe she gives off, I'll try replicating it in school tomorrow!" Another person had sounded a bit more vocal.
"WAAAAAAAH!" A baby is heard just crying.
"..." Rae blinks and stops in her tracks before she had sat down by the only other member of the pre-swap Seven Souls member to have been eliminated, Li. Her eyes slowly starts going to the crowd and she begins turning her head so she could face the audience and they all had gone silent once more just by her stare at them. Afterwards she turns around and looks over at Erin who nervously smile at her.
"U-Uhhh, Have a seat?" Erin tries coming up with something to say.
"You can sit down if you'd like, if you don't then we won't mind since no one here is going to stop you." Kay speaks up, it appeared only she could calmly interact with the girl who everyone else seemed to be cautious of.
"...Okay, I'll sit." Rae confirms before sitting down by Li who had scooted himself away from her a bit.
"Unfortunately I am unable to think of ways to smoothly transition to our next contestant so we'll just tell them to get onto the stage now! Come on up!" Erin gives the signal for the next person to walk up.
"D-Do I come up now?" A nervous-toned voice is heard asking, the voice sounds like it belonged to a female.
"Oh, well I guess we could change the order and skip to the second person who was eliminated in the post-swap section of the game, so sure!" Erin answers after being confused for a bit, it's obvious that it didn't sound like this person had supposed to be next but they had to improvise right now.
"Alright then, I'll w-walk up now." The voice confirms before some footsteps were heard walking up the stairs and the stage lights did their usual things by turning to the sound of the walking noises. Rae blinks and stares at the person while they walked up the stairs as if she already knew who the person getting onto the stage currently is. Her suspicions are confirmed and her eyes locked onto the contestant after seeing them stand in the stage light.
"...Oh look, it's Rainy Persnisky!" Erin tries to make the situation significantly less awkward, Rainy and Rae stared at each other upon seeing one another clearly. The optimistic host then gulps and watches the two contestants, everyone else had gone silent once again and it's clear that everyone inside of the building were nervous and could feel the tension in the air. Unfortunately for Rainy this had affected her due to the overwhelming amount of nervousness and even fear which has filled the air.
"Hehehe, T-This m-must b-be a-awkward f-for y-yo-Hehehe." Rainy had started to become a stuttering mess and she even started laughing very nervously without being able to seemingly control it, her entire body is even shaking.
"Looks like everyone else's emotions are overwhelming yours once again." Rae comments, however her tone of voice made it hard to tell whether she felt any concern for someone she had called her friend before her elimination.
"G-Guess I kn-know how J-Jared f-feels s-sometimes now-Hahaha!" Rainy's laughing begins going from one filled with nervousness to one filled with insanity and uncertainty on how to handle the situation.
"Rainy, try calming down, you're going to pass out if you keep laughing like..." Erin tries helping out the contestant, but Rae's eyes looked in her direction and she goes completely silent.
"HahaHAHAHAHA!" Rainy continues to laugh and it started to get even louder.
"Hey Rainy, keep yourself together." Rainy heard a suggestion and she looked over at Kay who had said these words to her, she still had been the only calm person in the room.
"I-I'll t-try m-my b-best-Haha." Rainy's laughing had started to calm down and her body had started to shake less.
"...What would you like to say to me?" Rae simply asks the empath with her arms crossed, luckily her voice did have a bit of curiosity behind it.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Rainy suddenly starts laughing insanely once more and she began stumbling around on the stage since some words clearly weren't enough to get her over her cataplexy. This stumbling leads to her nearly falling off the stage after getting towards the edge of it but she stumbles away from it and the stage lights had started to dim once more. Rainy eventually falls onto the ground but still continued to laugh and her eyes began closing while her laughing just continued to go on.
"Damn, you're stumbling like other people do with me, the one night stander herself, Ciara Yates!" Ciara is heard declaring from the side of the stage, her footsteps are heard running up the stage. The stage lights shine bright once more and Ciara giggles upon stepping into the lights with a big smile on her face. She looks over at the fallen empath before running over to her and she stands right by her before looking over at one of the causes for this.
"..." Rae looks at the ground to avoid making eye contact.
"Wait, we shouldn't be feeling nervous, we should all be glad we're all here!" Erin begins getting her excitement back and she looked over at her newly friended friend sitting down.
"I don't know who you are but I'm going to assume that I need to help improve the mood, so everyone start improving your moods!" Jackie tries motivating everyone else to not have negative feelings.
"If any of you need motivation to start feeling better, I'll make sure to give you all some...as long as you're not a jerk!~" Ciara decided to flirt with the audience before she looked over at the girl she had ran over to.
"Hahaha." Rainy's laughing seemed to have calmed down and she started to move her arms.
"Thank goodness Michelle did some research on your condition, since people's emotions can overwhelm you that leads to you extremely reacted very abruptly and strongly which leads to your cataplexy or at least that's what she said...dirty joke intended." Ciara explains before ending her explanation with a dirty joke like everyone had expected from her.
"Right, I need to focus on pranking Li!" Kennedy exclaims before she continued writing down in her notebook.
"For all the guys in the crowd, I can provide some motivation also~" Li states, winking at the audience after saying this.
"This must be the scene where the rising and uplifting part comes after the characters lowest points!" Vince sees the situation like it's something you'd see in a movie.
"Guess I should learn not to underestimate Rae, especially since it'd be bad for me to fault in front of my girlfriend!" Brooke says before looking over at Valerie, she giggles before nodding in agreement.
"Wait, if we all get too happy then wouldn't it cause a cataplexic person to start laughing once again?" Jackie asks while tilting her head.
"That won't happen, even when we're all happy it's not too overwhelming considering that Rae's here which means there's a constant source of negative emotions to counteract the positive emotions!" Erin explains.
"...Was that a compliment or an insult?" Rae questions upon hearing this explanation.
"I can't insult anyone to save my life! It's too mean to do!" Erin answers the question.
"Unfortunately enough that's very much true." Kay backs up what the other host has said.
"Anyways, lets make sure that Ciara and Rainy get to their sitting places on the benches." Erin directs, Ciara then nods before picking up the girl whose cataplexy had calmed down and she pulls her over to her seat. Ciara had sat down by Li and made sure to keep her distance from Rae, they were all the members of The Seven/Five Souls who had been eliminated throughout the season. Meanwhile, Rainy had been set down by Kennedy and Jackie, they were all the members of The K-Shida's who received the Chain of Shame (except for Kennedy). Funnily enough the only team who didn't have all their eliminated members on the bench was The Losers Team who only had Brooke (who was joining using Video Call and Vince present at the moment.
"Looks like we've only got two contestants left to introduce, no matter who it is at least we know it's a former member of The Losers Team who will be coming up here." Kay observes after noticing the people who were present.
"Well if we think about it, since we skipped a certain someone it looks like the most recently eliminated contestant will be the one arriving next." Erin confirms, looking at the left side of the stage and sees no one there yet.
"Sounds like you're going to need to keep up your happy attitude then because the mood's going to get very heavy..." Kay responds, she looks down as she spoke.
"Considering what happened last time I'm aware you're right about that for sure, so come on out our final eliminated contestant for this Aftermath!" Erin loudly confirms before everyone immediately began cheering.
"..." The final contestant's footsteps were notably much slower going up the stairs compared to everyone else's speeds when they had all walked up the stairs to get onto the stage. This time, the stage lights were able to stay shining brightly and the crowd continued to cheer loudly in order to try and cheer up the contestant, Kennedy, Li, Jackie, and Ciara decide to clap and cheer with everyone else. Kaylee sighs upon hearing all this and eventually the most recent elimination of the season had made their way onto the stage.
"Ingrid Glenmarie! Welcome to the Aftermath!" Erin exclaims, she tries sounding as cheery and happy as she could.
"...Weep not for roads untraveled." Ingrid whispers, it sounded like she couldn't even hear anyone else right now.
"She's not going to listen." Everyone heard someone confirm, they all looked at who said it and sees that Rae was the one who said these words.
"Considering the fact she was backstabbed yesterday, it's definitely not enough time for her to slowly get over what happened...in fact, I'm sure it is going to take years to get over." Kay comments while looking over at the backstabbed contestant.
"The amount of heartbreak and paranoia she's feeling must be astronomical right now." Rainy states upon observing the contestant.
"...Weep not for paths left 'lone." Ingrid continued to whisper to herself, the audience had quieted down and knew they could do nothing but watch the show right in front of them at this point.
"Kay or Rae, do any of you two know a way for Ingrid to get over what happened?" Kennedy questions, its pretty clear to her the those two girls knew what Ingrid was going through all too well.
"..." Rae goes completely silent once more and doesn't even try to answer the question.
"Experiencing being backstabbed on the level she has where she's been metaphorically and physically betrayed by Chloe, who didn't show any remorse to her for what she did, she's not going to get over this anytime soon but the best way to help her out is by bringing in someone she still trusts, after all just because one person turned their back on you doesn't mean everyone else you care for has...but who is someone she knows she can trust?" Kay asks after giving a complete explanation while looking down, she smiled a bit upon remembering something or in her case someone who must've given her this idea.
"If her friend did this to each her, then I can't imagine what'll happen to her if she ever finds 'true love' for someone." Li responds in his mind, he had chosen not to say any of this out loud since he'd know it would make the situation worse.
"Hello Ingrid, you can trust me! I'll make sure to cheer you up for sure!" Jackie attempts to speak to the heart-shattered contestant.
"...'Cause beyond every bend, Is a long blinding end, It's worst kind of pain I've known." Her attempt didn't work at all and instead Ingrid continued whispering to herself.
"I'm not sure if she knows enough about any of us here to know she could trust us." Ciara confirms, due to the game which Ingrid had played this meant there wasn't a lot of people she felt like she could trust and only a few people could possibly help cheer her up.
"...Give up your heart left broken." Ingrid continues to whisper to herself.
"Aruku shinin niii [To the walking dead...]" Suddenly another song had been heard coming from off the stage, this caught everyone's attentions and they all looked over to their left. Ingrid blinks and it looks like she actually is reacting to the abrupt music everyone can hear.
"Aruku shinin niii [To the walking dead...]" Footsteps were heard walking up the stairs and the person who made their way onto the stage while the stage lights all began to turn off. It sounds like the music had also been playing from above everyone and despite all the stage lights turning off, a light began turning off from off the stage.
"Wakatteru no ni ienai yo! [I know it, but I can't say it!]" "I'm here." The person says before the yellow light from off the stage is seen turning on and revealing the person to be-
"...Fergy?" Ingrid questions upon turning around before all the stage lights had completely turned off.
Kiro Akiyama-Identity [The Promised Neverlands Season 2 OP]
"Kouri kouritsuku ashita wo kowasun da, [I'll go and destroy the frozen tomorrow,]"
Fergy Ferguson smiles while the yellow light shined on him from behind and he nods upon hearing his name.
"Toui toui omoide ni bunnaguraretan da, [A distant, distant memory has awaken,]"
He starts walking forward and eventually reaches the location of the place on the stage where he planned to go towards.
"Unmei no saki ni anata wo mitsuketa, [I found you beyond this cruel destiny,]"
Ingrid's eyes widened as she watches Fergy stand in front of her and rather than the black hoodie he normally wore, this time he's seen wearing a white hoodie.
"Mou namida ni imi nankanai n da yo. [There's no meaning to my tears anymore.]"
A breeze goes through the two of them and Fergy holds out his hand while continuing to smile.
"Subete nagedasu youni iki wo shitemo! [Even though I tried to breath out with everything!]"
"I'll try my best to help you get better, Ingrid Glenmarie." Fergy confirms after fully extended out his hand.
"Douse douse onaji kurai kurushii yo! [It was still very, very painful!]"
Ingrid gulps and stares at his hand with a look of uncertainty in her eyes, she felt conflicted on whether she should accept the hand.
"Suki ni ikitai suki ni ikiteitai, [I'll live the way I please, I'll live the way I want,]"
"Yeah, truth be told, I really do think you're a sweet person and me voting out either your crush or your best friend would just make me feel awful." Ingrid remembers the words he said to her before Fergy eliminated himself for the sake of her happiness and to keep Hannah in the game.
"Eranda mirai nara waraeru kara. [Because I can smile at the future I have chosen.]"
"O-Okay...I'll trust you." Ingrid confirms before she reaches out her hand and she holds the hand which belonged to The Dorky Simp.
"Looks like tenth time was the charm, I mean seriously, constantly thinking of the right words to say while the lights weren't timed right led me trying to act this out over and over again had started getting real tedious...at least it all came together when it mattered most." Fergy internally sighs in relief before all the stage lights turned back on while the yellow light turned off.
"You REALLY wanted to make one hell of a dramatic entrance, didn't you?" Li remarks after seeing all this go down in front of him.
"Of course I did, wouldn't you do the same thing?" Fergy questions.
"I don't think I've ever heard of the song you used before." Rae decides to speak up once again.
"Well I didn't choose it, a random person played the song on their computer and so I'd decided to use it and listen to the person's instructions...they also said it was related to anime so I just had to do it, plus they made me wear this white hoodie, What do you all think of it?" Fergy decides to ask everyone a question.
"U-Uhhh, How long are we g-going to hold h-hands for?" Ingrid points out, Fergy then looks at their hands and nervously chuckles before looking over at the bench Vince is seen sitting on.
"We can stop whenever you'd like, I just did this to help cheer you up." Fergy explains while leading the two of them over to the bench where the eliminated Losers Team members sat down.
"O-Oh, well we c-can stop n-now." Ingrid answers, the two of them lets go of each other's hands afterwards.
"Wait have we gone into a title card yet?" Erin suddenly realizes.
"Nope, so play the aftermath intro." Kay directs while staring into the camera.
"'Cause I'm ooonly a craaack,"
"Well, it was disappointing being eliminated first, but watch out, even only after one day, this island is full of my... surprises." Kennedy's voice is heard speaking while the screen shows her disappearing in a cloud of smoke.
"In this Caaastle of Glaaass,"
"I hope you do, because he DESERVES elimination at this point!" Li had shouted, he was seen being taken away by the Chain of Shame.
"Hardly aaanything else,"
"W-Well, my time here i-is d-done..." Vince confirmed, he too was taken away by the elimination contraption for the season.
"I need to beeeeeeeeee."
"Jackie!" Evan's voice had been heard shouting, reaching out while Jackie was being taken away by the long Chain.
"'Cause I'm ooonly a craaack,"
"Well if I had one advice for you...just enjoy your time with him." Brooke had given her advice, however she too had fallen victim to the Chain of Shame.
"In this Caaastle of Glaaass,"
"Go f*** yourself." Rainy's voice had an echo to it unlike all the other voices, she also had her eyes closed and accepted her elimination with a frown.
"Hardly aaanything leeeft,"
'Who could have known that my way to move along in life is by using Neil to help me become the new me would work? Well, I will not change completely, I will be better than who I was before...I will truly become Fergy, I will never be perfect but I can try to be the best me.' Rather than any quotes being heard, Fergy's vote which he wrote to eliminate himself with was shown before it fades to him being dragged into the forest.
"For you to seeee."
"Hey Jared...you were right...I found a way to be happy." Rainy's last thoughts were heard rather than anything she actually said, but just like everyone else who were eliminated and like what she did to Rae, she got eliminated and pulled into the dark forest.
"For you to seeeeeeee!"
"Michelle...I'm coming home." Lastly, Ciara's voice had been heard and she was dragged by the Chain of Shame after she said goodbye to her team.
"For you to seeee."
"NO ONE gets to upstage me." Ingrid lays unconsciously on the ground after getting backstabbed before the Chain of Shame comes out a portal and clamps itself around her neck, taking through the portal soon after (Episode 11).
Total Drama: Move Along
Episode 12: The Aftermath 1
"Wasn't most of that intro was pretty much shown in the beginning of the last episode?" Kay questions after everyone had watched the TV which showed everyone there the intro.
"I'm sure that whoever created the intro tried their best, anyways now we're now at the part which I think most people have waited for, we're going to ask the contestants and whoever else you sent questions to, questions which has been sent in!" Erin loudly confirms which the audience reacts to by clapping.
"I'll go get us the cards." Kay says before walking behind the curtains and she walks out seconds later with cards that had the questions on them. After grabbing the cards she sits down and hands over pretty much all of them to the other host since she's clearly more qualified to read questions while sounding excited.
"Thanks for the cards, this first set of questions come from Nobody245 who asks, Kennedy; Have you thought about becoming an intern and using your inventions and pranks for challenges?" Erin asks the first question of the night.
"That idea has came across my mind a few times, however I'd decided against it since throughout the history of Total Drama interns weren't exactly treated the best when Chris McLean is around, plus I think I've placed enough pranks around the island and so I'll be anticipating seeing more of them get used throughout the rest of the season." Kennedy answers the question, she then walks to the other side of the stage.
"What is she looking for?" Jackie asks while watching this.
"This backpack!" Kennedy answers her question after grabbing the backpack she brought with her to this aftermath.
"What's in the booox?" Vince made a movie reference.
"You are aware that's a backpack, right?" Ciara decided to be the one to correct him.
"Some books." Kennedy answers the question anyways, she's seen pulling out a book before making sure all the other books inside of her backpack were all laid down properly. After doing this she walks back over to the bench she sat down on and started to read a book titled 'The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug'. No one really seemed to take much note of this and instead they all looked over at the hosts to ask the next question.
"Guess it's my turn, Li; What do you think about Sunny now after last episode?" Kay responds after Erin had handed over the question cards to her and she reads the next question on it. Then, she hands the cards back over to the optimistic host who accepts it nonverbally.
"Not very highly, he still caused my elimination and disregarded his sister's feelings to the point she needed to get away from him in order to to feel happy, so while I understand him he can suck my Androgynous dick." Li answers with brutal honesty.
"Kinky~" Ciara remarks at this harsh comment.
"Hey Li, would you like this ring?" Kennedy randomly asks, pulling out a ring from the book she had been reading.
"If the ring doesn't make me invisible then hell to the na-" Li starts remarking.
"This ring is the some one which Sunny had prepared in case he wanted to play around with Leo even further." Kennedy cuts him off, next thing she knows the ring she's holding is now gone.
"Okay, I'll burn the damn ring." Li states, he glares into the ring which did have the initials 'S.P.' on it which seemingly confirmed it had belonged to the guy he had a clear disliking of. While focusing on the ring he seems to start thinking of ways in which he could burn the object which he slowly begins crushing using his right hand. Quickly, the ring had started to be bent and starts collapsing immediately which confirmed that the ring is a fake one.
"My precious!" Kennedy exclaims, she goes to dump down a bucket of gold paint onto the unsuspecting prank victim right in front of her. However by the time she had started to speak her target jumped onto his feet and into the air in order to dodge the paint right before it splatters onto the bench it splashes itself onto Vince and Rae. The prankster's eyes widened and looks at the person she intended to dump the paint onto who turns around and smirks over at her after avoiding another prank of hers.
"And here I thought I was the only one who could make movie references." Vince remarks, staring at the gold paint which got onto his clothing.
"..." Rae didn't seem to be bothered by the paint splattered on her clothes at all and just stared blankly towards the ground.
"Y-You...You avoided another prank of mines?!" Kennedy loudly asks, the pupils in her eyes had shrunken now.
"Well that's one hell of a mess you made there, I'll remain standing like I do more than one night because I can do this all day and night!" Li exclaims, currently he's oozing with confidence.
"I'll get you NEXT TIME!" Kennedy declares before dropping the bucket and she goes back to writing down in her journal.
"Those two are going to be a fun duo to watch, speaking of duo's lets ask a former member of one and in this case this person was a duo with Alex before they were eliminated so, Vince; Why do you constantly shout movie references at inappropriate times?" Erin smoothly transitions into the next question.
"...I-I'm not sure t-to be honest, maybe it's j-just a h-habit of mines?" Vince answers with uncertainty in his voice.
"Personally I think it's because you use these references as a backup for stuffs you can say because you're quite a nervous trainwreck at times." Kennedy quickly states while writing in her notebook.
"Daaamn!" Vince makes another movie reference while leaning back in an over exaggerated way.
"You said it best, anyways how about we move onto the next question?" Fergy requests, Kay then nods upon getting one of the cards rather than the entire stack and luckily the one she's holding is the intended next question.
"Alright then, Jackie; What will you say to Evan when you see him again?" Kay asks, this causes Jackie to blink and think to herself.
"That's a very good question, especially since from what I've remembered we weren't able to say goodbye to each other..." Jackie begins trying to figure out an answer to the question she has been asked.
"How about you ask him something like: Nice seeing you again, let's bang." Ciara suggests with a smile on her face.
"Nice suggestion, in fact I'd say the same thing to him!" Li confirms without any shame in his voice.
"Oh right, you two were the contestants who loved getting verbally dirty." Jackie says, apparently she had forgotten the two other eliminated contestants until now.
"Indeed we do!" Ciara and Li respond in unison, the two of them laughed after doing this.
"Guess I'll just answer your question by saying whatever I say to Evan the next time we come across each other once more." Jackie decides to avoid the question due to her not having an answer to it at the moment.
"We shall allow that, anyways our next question is Brooke; Do you plan to come back to the show with your girlfriend?" Erin gives the next question, the camera cuts to the TV screen where no one could be seen at the moment.
"Uhhh Brooke? Are you still there?" Fergy asks while tilting his head.
"I heard the question!" Brooke's voice is heard coming from the screen, she's then seen sitting in front of the camera on the couch once more. Oddly enough there's a bunch of red lipstick marks all over her face, her girlfriend is seen scooting over and sitting next to her once more. The two of them nervously chuckle at the camera while they're seen suddenly blushing.
"So that's why you've been silent throughout this aftermath." Li observes, Brooke then nods.
"Indeed, now I'd love to come back, in fact I'd come back without a second thought especially with my girlfriend." Brooke answers the question, Valerie giggles at this response and seemed pleased about it.
"If you two keep kissing then both of you are going to become the next Geoff and Bridgette, anyways those two aside, Rae; Do you forgive Rainy for her part in your vote off?" Kay moves the aftermath along and asks the question many people were wondering.
"..." Rae remains silent and she stands up before looking over at Rainy who gulps while staring at her.
"Rae, I-I'm sorry for backstabbing y-you." Rainy says while looking at the girl she had helped vote out during the season, she's currently sweating heavily and showed clear signs of nervousness.
"Are you sure?" Rae questions, this question causes Rainy to jump a bit and her entire body begins shaking just from hearing her speak.
"Y-Yes, I-I'M S-SORRY FOR LISTENING TO MY BR-BROTHER!" Rainy loudly apologizes, bowing to her former friend after speaking which did look awkward but no one was going to speak up right now.
"Looks like you're completely aware of me when I'm angered." Rae observes, her voice continued to sound completely serious and she didn't seem to feel any remorse for the empath.
"Of course I a-am, I've ob-observed your emotions e-enough to know that pissing y-you off is a bad idea...but also I-I'm genuinely sorry for voting y-you off, in fact I voted myself off s-so I can apologize for wh-what I did." Rainy tries insisting, she stands up and continues speaking.
"You're showing more emotions than I last remembered you showing." Rae seemingly doesn't even take note of anything that had just been said to her.
"It's because I-I've been able to re-release myself f-from my main source of st-stress and now I feel f-free, I feel more free than S-Sunny ever did." Rainy explains.
"..." Rae goes completely silent once more.
"I-I'm s-sorry...please for-forgive m-me." Rainy says one more time, this time she looks down and closes her eyes in order to wait for an answer. Nothing but silence is heard across the place and no one in the room says a single word since they all wanted to hear the answer to the question just as much as Rainy did. The camera focused on the empath and her body is seen shaking heavily, while the anticipation was killing her at the moment she knew waiting was the only thing she could do at this point.

"I forgive you." Rainy heard the answer to her question and her eyes slowly open upon hearing these three simple yet extremely relieving words, it takes her a few seconds to process this however. Once she processed the words she's heard she looks over at Rae who had a smile on her face and this made her smile. Then, she jumps over and hugs her friend that she's gotten back while not really minding the golden paint on her since her words were all she needed.
"Thank you...Kris." Rainy says, she calls her friend by her first name and even began tearing up, her eyes were closed and so this made the tears of joy going down her cheeks more obvious. Slowly, the camera pans over to Rae who wraps her arms around her friend and basically gave a hug of her own while the smile on her face remained. However her smile went away for a moment before it appears on her face once more, no one had noticed this though.
"You're welcome, Rainy." Rae responds, eventually both of them got their arms out from around each other.
"If only everyone could be that nice." Kay comments before she looks at the ground and sighs, Erin notices this and pats her back and soon after she begins clapping for the two friends. Everyone on the stage also began clapping except for Ingrid who also had been looking at the ground and she slowly started to frown, it looked like she'd been thinking about some stuff that distracted her from this moment. The audience joined in the clapping and some cheering even came from them, it seemed they enjoyed the scene also.
"That was a very nice moment to watch, however we're only halfway through this aftermath so we must carry on with this next question which I'll ask now, Fergy; Do you see Hannah as a friend, or do you feel something else for her?" Erin does her job.
"U-Uhhh, Where did that question come from?" Fergy nervously asks, he immediately begins sweating.
"Actually that's something I'm curious about also~" Ciara remarks while looking over at him.
"I mean, I guess Hannah's very kind and pretty and confident and to put it kindly, she's pretty confident and-" Fergy accidentally begins rambling until he catches himself blushing which caused him to cut himself off.
"Yep, you're definitely in love with her." Rainy confirms without much hesitation.
"Love's putting it strongly." Li responds before relaxing once more.
"E-Exactly! I just admire her, that's all!" Fergy tries convincing everyone in the most unconvincing toned voice he could have.
"..." Ingrid remained completely silent and rather than try saying anything in response to what she's hearing, instead she leans onto Fergy and closed her eyes as she does this.
"H-Hey, you need to warn me before you do stuff like that." Fergy remarks upon seeing this before he looked over back at the hosts.
"...At least for a moment..." Fergy suddenly heard whispering coming from the girl leaning on him.
"What's that?" Fergy questions, he looks over at the shy girl who didn't answer his question and instead continued to lean on him with closed eyes. Due to the lack of clarification about what he heard, he turns his attention back to the hosts and decides to elaborate on his answer to the question more, "Anyways, I just really like Hannah and even admire her to a certain extent."
"You don't need to hide your feelings towards Hannah considering how our parents certainly didn't...anyways family matters aside, Rainy; After all that's happened, what would say to Misty about competing on the show?" Kay delivers the next question, this time it had been directed towards the eighth eliminated contestant of the season.
"I can't really speak on that because I've yet to communicate with Misty since my elimination and so I'll ask her about that question once this aftermath is over since I've got a feeling she would probably like to compete on the show especially if I'm coming back." Rainy answers the question to the best of her abilities.
"Wait, are you saying you might return for another season?!" Erin begins asking with some excitement in her voice.
"Personally I'd like to see that for multiple reasons." Rae cryptically comments on the matter, looking away so her face wasn't facing the camera.
"There's plenty of things which could happen in the future, so answering that question will be difficult for me to do but at least this time I'll be the one deciding if I will return for another season." Rainy chooses to keep her answer vague, she looked over at her friend while speaking before looking away and starts thinking to herself.
"Not every questions can be answered so that's reasonable, but I'm sure this next one can be answered so, Ciara; Do you regret giving up the game?" Erin asks, this causes Ciara to giggle a bit.
"Not at all, some people in this game might be in it for the money, however I am not one of those people because getting laid was really my only reason for-" Ciara started explaining.
"Wait you got laid?" Kay asks a question of her own.
"Yeah but it wasn't that big of a deal, I've got a girlfriend at home and the guy I'm fine I slept with also just wanted the night to not mean anything since he said that he already had enough romance drama in his life." Ciara explains.
"...Are you sure nothing's going to come out of it?" Kay asks, this time her voice had a bit of doubt in it.
"I-I'm sure, why are you-?" Ciara suddenly looks like she realized something.
"Good, because he is something I don't want to lose to ANYONE because he's the thing I'm not settling second place for." Kay states with conviction in her voice, this causes Ciara to nervously chuckle.
"Don't worry, I've already got Michelle in my life and hell I only slept with Rival because until my elimination my standards were low-" Ciara started explaining herself.
"Was he snoring loudly and making faces while dreaming about being in a fight?" Erin asks with a smile on her face.
"Erin she didn't mean that kind of 'sleep', anyways how about we move onto a different topic and let you answer the question?" Kay suggests.
"Right! Honestly I don't mind giving up the game and besides, that allowed Jared to stay in and I'm pretty sure most of us here can agree that's good enough." Ciara confirms before looking at the rest of the contestants.
"I haven't met him yet." Kennedy, Jackie, Li, and Rae all point out in unison.
"Six of us here know him, so I'd say mathematically her statement makes sense." Brooke points out on the TV screen.
"Even when he voted me off, he was s-someone who had stronger connection to more people on our team and so I've got a few things I'd like to learn from him a-after the season...although I'll probably try learning more stuffs from Alex so me and h-him could continue making our m-movie." Vince confirms.
"Honestly I w-wish I could've teamed u-up with him considering what happened...th-there's a lot of regrets I've got now that I-I think about it-" Ingrid begins tearing up, looking up as she spoke.
"Once you start thinking of regrets then you realize there's a lot of stuffs you could be doing differently, but sometimes good comes out of bad and you need to recognize it when it happens before it's too late." Fergy responds, attempting to help cheer her up.
"But w-what about when there's n-no silver lining..." Ingrid continues to think pessimistically.
"...Rainy? Can you please help on out over here?" Fergy asks, looking over at Rainy for some help while raising his hands.
"The producers have told us to pick up the pace and just ask the next question so...Ingrid; What would you say to Chloe if she was with you right now?" Erin hesitantly asks the next question.
"C-Chloe?! D-Does she h-have a knife?! W-Will she actually k-kill m-me this t-time?!" Ingrid starts panicking even more, she starts frequently looking around for the girl she remembers all too well and is taking a bunch of deep breaths in and out.
"You need to take her mind off of Chloe for now! It's only a temporary solution but it's the only one I can think of right now, so you need to make her think about the person she trusts, you!" Rainy gives the best advice she could think off the top of her head.
"Okay!" Fergy responds before holding Ingrid and he stares into her eyes.
"It took me a long time to think up of my earlier plan in the most dramatic way I could! So perhaps something like that would work once again!" Fergy thinks to himself, sweating heavily.
"A-AM I G-GOING TO DIE L-LIKE-?!" Ingrid continued to freak out, this snapped Fergy out of his thoughts and he just does the first thing which came to mind.
"Ingrid! She's not going to hurt you!" Fergy shouts and he wraps his arms around the girl, this causes him to hug Ingrid very tightly and this makes her eyes widen. Afterwards the heartbroken goth girl slowly looked up at the girl who is currently hugging her and her breathing had started to slow down upon coming back to her senses. However she closes her eyes, wraps her arms around him, and cries into him.
"Pl-Please d-don't b-betray m-me t-too!" Ingrid pleads with a smile on her face, it looked her emotions were all over the place and that she didn't how to feel at the moment. On one hand, she felt good knowing someone is currently there for her and she knew that he wouldn't betray her in the same way which Chloe had done. But her mind still had thoughts that maybe he'd betray her in a different way, that maybe he would make her feel alone once again unintentionally and unkowingly, maybe he would leave her when she'd need him most.
"..." Fergy remains quiet and he simply hugged her in response to this, from the look on his face it'd look like he had been thinking very heavily about this situation he's found himself in. Eventually he appears to have came to a decision on how to respond and he looks down at the girl in his arms who looks up at him with all her conflicted emotions. Slowly a smile grew on his face and he chuckles before giving her an answer, "Of course not! I'd never turn my back on you and I'll make sure you won't be alone."
"O-Okay...I-I'll t-trust y-you." Ingrid responds before nodding and she got her arms out from around Fergy before using her hands to wipe the tears away from her eyes. After saying these words Fergy's smile slowly started to go away and his eyes slowly started to be directed towards the ground and he begins thinking about something.
SLAP!
"F-Fergy?!" Ingrid loudly asks with a look of concern on her face, she had seen that Fergy had very abruptly slapped himself across his face which caused a red slap mark on his right cheek. This same slap caused him to nearly fall off the bench but he's able to hold onto it and he straightens his back while no one had an idea why he did this...except for one person. Rainy blinks in response to what she's seen and looks towards the roof before she starts thinking to herself about something that only she knew about.
"Sorry, some habits take a while before they go away." Fergy explains before nervously chuckling.
"I am, guess I just do stuff for girls more times than I really should, after all, some habits take a while before they go away." Ingrid remembers the last time he said these words before giggling.
"You r-really need to g-get rid of some of your o-old h-habits." Ingrid remarks.
"Agreed, anyways I think we'll skip that question just to avoid any other similar reactions that just happened." Fergy confirms which gets a nod from the hosts.
"I'll gladly go along with that, sorry for asking that question." Erin quickly apologizes.
"I'll go get the next stack of cards for all of you." Kay confirms, soon after she picks up the first set of question they'd gotten and walks away with them. After getting through the curtains she puts down the first set of questions before picking up another one which she brings out with her while exiting through the curtains. She sits down and hands over the cards to Erin who gladly holds them in her hands.
"Alright! These next set of questions come from PurpleShadowManipulator whose first question are for Kennedy, Li, and Vince: Being the first people voted off your respective teams (my condolences, by the way), us viewers didn't get an opportunity to see you strategize. Of the 11 people who made the merge, which one person would each of you A. align with, and B. target?" Erin asks the first question from the second set.
"The answer to that question for me is quite obvious, I'd align myself with Evan and Miriam, my target would primarily be Jun since he's got an easy flaw to exploit which is his arrogance and because he's clearly willing to do many things to win while thinking he's the greatest of all time even though the target on him is well-deserved considering he never tried hiding it...also he voted me out so I've got a bit of a grudge against him." Kennedy answers with complete honesty, it's clear she didn't need much thought to give her answer though.
"I'd work with Kyle and Ciara to take out Sunny because the dude's mouth is only matched by his ability to stroke himself and the only reason why I'm not being harsher on him is because he's cooled down with being an ass, I'd also probably would've enjoyed working with Jared since he sounded like a nice guy to meet." Li states, slowly he starts smirking after he starts getting an idea.
"Obviously my m-main alliance members would be A-Alex and Hannah, my main t-target would be-" Vince started stuttering his way through his answer.
"Look, I'm aware that this is the only part of the show that we've never practiced but that doesn't mean you should be stuttering in front of an audience now." Li calls him out.
"Why are you s-so focused on m-messing me u-up?!" Vince tries angrily asking, but he just sounded mostly defeated.
"Because seeing guys like you get nervous is adorable~" Li answers with absolutely no sign of shame in his voice or face, in fact he had a grin on his face.
"Hey Li, I've written 13,180 words inside this notebook on 46 pages, how much words have I written per page?" Kennedy randomly gives her target a math question for reasons only she knows.
"Three hundred, also you basically gave me the equation and told me I'd need division to solve it so there was just that which needed to be done." Li answers with ease.
"Okay, Okay, Because I'm feeling nice I'd like for you to choose how I should prank you next." Kennedy states before standing up and she hands over her notebook to the ABC while holding it using her fingernails.
"Okay, Okay, I ain't falling for the same thing." Li remarks and he grabs the book using his short fingernails before throwing it away but the book accidentally hits Erin's face. This hit causes her to fall off her chair and she is seen grabbing onto her face in the background as Li continues to stare at Kennedy. After blinking a few times he finally decides to speak up, "Sorry about that."
"It's okay! Okay?" Erin decided to keep the 'okay' train going after letting go of her face and Li nods upon hearing her response.
"Okay, Okay, you got Erin with that book trick earlier so don't think I'd fall for it like she did." Li confirms, Kennedy growls before she runs across the stage and one again went over to her backpack.
"C-Can I answer th-the question n-now?" Vince asks with his hands raised.
"Sure babe." Li answers for him.
"Okay, so m-my main target would b-be Sunny because I just always h-have a bad feeling about him." Vince finally answers the question. Kennedy is seen coming back onto the stage with a pen and another notebook, she begins writing down inside of it right after and continues to brainstorm prank ideas that she could use. Li rolled his eyes at this and it's clear that he is very confident in his abilities to avoid the perfectionist prankster's pranks.
"Glad you finally answered it, the producers were getting impatient, now this next question is For Jackie: You, like many of the other players taken out early, were one of the most positive people on this cast, compared to the dark nature of this upcoming merge. Other than Evan (for obvious reasons, wink wink nudge nudge), who are you rooting for to go far?" Kay delivers the next question, this time it was just for one person.
"What's with the winking and nudging about Evan for?" Jackie asks while titling her head.
"...HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Vince begins loudly laughing which caught everyone's attention due to how loud he was laughing and because it sounded different. Jackie blinks while looking over at him as he laughs and has a look of genuine confusion on her face, no one had an idea why this sudden reaction had came out so abruptly, although Kennedy didn't seem to be paying any attention to it. Slowly the movie fanatic's laughing died down and upon doing this he looks over at Jackie, "...You serious?"
"And there's your one of many movie references." Kennedy explains what Vince had just said.
"Anyways on a s-serious note, d-do you not k-know?" Vince asks with a look of concern on his face.
"Know what?" Jackie answers the question with a questionable question.
"Look, Jackie, everyone here knows that you and Evan have feelings for each other." Ciara decided to explain, this caused everyone in the audience to cheer along in agreement.
"W-WHAT?!" Jackie loudly asks, blushing upon hearing these words.
"Yeah, I mean he's always there to catch you after you've fallen." Erin decides to butt in and start the list.
"He's planning to win the game for you." Kay tags along and continues the list.
"You always comforted him whenever he needed someone to emotionally support him." Kennedy nonchalantly makes the list even longer, even though her focus was on her notebook she continued writing.
"B-But, h-he's just a-a..." Jackie stops herself from speaking more and starts thinking about everything which had gone down during the duration of the game. Eventually she gasps upon coming to this realization and she grabs her hair before looking around her and everyone had facepalmed at how the girl didn't see it earlier. Rather than saying anything else however, she decides to stay quiet and chooses to look down at the ground to continue thinking to herself.
"I don't want to rush but there's a question you still need to answer." Fergy points out to her.
"O-Oh r-right! I'm rooting for Miriam to go far also because from what I've seen she's a nice person, and also because she's quite clearly got the biggest hatred for Jun so there's that." Jackie answers, a forced smile is seen on her face during her answer.
"Thank you Fergy for reminding Jackie and thank you Jackie for answering! Now, For Brooke: As you seemed to argue yourself, the way you were eliminated seemed extremely fishy. If that blue bone outright eliminated you from the game, I might've even said you were robbed. Do you have any theories, or are you not so bothered by the experience now that it's been some time?" Erin enthusiastically does her job and asks the next question.
"Weeell, I highly doubt I was robbed, it's just that my fears got the better of me." Brooke answers it after only needing a bit of time to think.
"Ohhh Brooke..." Valerie is heard saying, then she pounces Brooke and kissing sounds are heard which caused everyone else to be completely confused, some of the audience members were heard cheering however and it sounded like it came from some guys in the crowd.
"We get it, some of you are perverts." Rae comments which caused the guys in the crowd to go quiet.
"Eek! If I did come back, I'll be the best person there! Whoo!" Brooke exclaims after sticking up her head and she looks at the camera in her response, she even had been giggling. Kay looks towards the curtains and the TV screen turns to black after the two girls on it were shrieking with passion.
"This is Total Drama, not Love Island." Kay points out before sighing to herself.
"Hey Jackie, that will be you and Evan in the future~" Ciara remarks without looking at the girl she's speaking too.
"A-Agh!" Jackie oddly responds before she tries covering the blushing mess on her face.
"Okay lets move on because this next question is For Rae: You were one of my winner picks, and I think your elimination surprised a lot of people. Despite being cool, calm, and collected for most of the season, you snapped back at your team after your elimination (which to be fair, was an iconic response). Do you still feel the same way, and do you think playing a different way could have saved you?" Kay does the next question.
"Obviously I'm still upset over my elimination, can't you tell?" Rae asks, pointing at her face but she had a monotone voice and a blank face expression.
"Is there any sarcasm coming from her, Rainy?" Fergy tries identifying.
"Nope, but considering that she's had time to reflect on what happened and how I clearly showed remorse when betraying someone-" Rainy pauses and quickly looked over at Ingrid in the middle of her sentence before continuing the explanation, "She's able to have cooled down from what happened and plus people act in the moment at times."
"Looks like you didn't lose your understanding of emotions." Rae comments with her normal deadpanned toned voice.
"Of course I didn't, that's what it means to be empathetic after all." Rainy points out, randomly she starts swinging her legs during her response.
"To answer the rest of your question, clearly getting with Kyle and Ciara would've helped out my game more since by the time my elimination came around the time there'd been six of us and so that would've tied the votes and because Sunny at that point didn't have a good relationship with them all three of us would be stuck at an impasse, but that would've had a chance of keeping me in the game considering that I almost made it to the merge." Rae finishes what she had started saying earlier.
"You're very analytical, thanks for answering but gotta move onto a question For Fergy (which is gonna be hard, because obviously I'm biased towards my son): From a psychological perspective, I completely understand and respect taking yourself out of the game, especially on your own terms as you did. However, you sited Ingrid's connections to Jun and Chloe as reasons you couldn't take them out instead. With the benefit of hindsight, knowing they both betray her not long after you leave, would you have made a different choice strategically, despite your emotions?" Erin takes care of asking the next question.
"Like I've said, what I did in the moment definitely wasn't the smartest move and with the benefit of hindsight I'd definitely change my elimination to a later date because knowing that there was a way for me to prevent what happened to Ingrid would be good." Fergy answers, looking over at Ingrid who looked back over at him.
"No, it was m-my fa-fault for not realizing Chloe was u-using me sooner." Ingrid tries making him feel less worse about the decision that was made.
"I disagree, sometimes you just want someone to be with you so badly that it can turn into a easily exploitable weakness that others won't hesitate to take advantage of, after all when you've got something to gain then you've got something to lose at that moment. But that isn't your fault because in the end it comes down to the person who is using you whether or not they want to be your friend or if they want to destroy your heart and burn it until you feel like there's nothing but desperation and confusion and-" Kay starts explaining in deep details, she looks down while speaking and seems to start remembering some stuffs.
"How about we just let Fergy finish answering his question? Contestants have been interrupted mid-answer enough times already." Erin tries to divert the topic away from its current direction.
"If there's one thing I'd change about the night of the elimination, it'd be that I would have definitely voted off Chloe since she's the one who decided to do the betrayal and so preventing her from doing that is something that I definitely wish I could've prevented." Fergy finally gives the rest of his answer without any signs of sarcasm or lying heard in his voice.
"Now I w-wish that y-you'd be the guy I'd c-cook for." Ingrid comments, this causes Fergy to chuckle a bit.
"You don't need to do that for me, in fact there's other guys who you can get that are better than just me." Fergy says, looking away as he spoke.
"Don't down-downplay yourself-" Ingrid began speaking.
"I have to, for your sake." Fergy whispers to himself, however he's unable to say this loud enough for her to hear.
"You're a g-great guy and I'm glad y-you're not going to betray m-me." Ingrid finishes her sentence with a smile on her face, although it didn't seem right and it still had that touch of nervousness she still has.
"Apologies but the produces want us to just get to the next question, so we need to move, now, For Rainy: After you eliminated yourself for your mental health, much like Fergy, your brother Sunny has made several massive changes to his approach to the game. Do you think this change is genuine, or purely strategic? Do you think this change might carry over to your home life?" Kay successfully asks the next question in the stack of cards she's got.
"Something inside me really wants to believe that he can change since most of his words yesterday was true...I'm skeptical if he really does care for me since he scares me more often than shows me how good of a 'brother' he can be, after all he basically forced me to join him on this show but deep down I know he's gone through some stuff and that he wants to move past it." Rainy states before letting out a sigh.
"For someone who's terrified of their brother you seem to know quite a bit about him." Li points out, crossing his arms while in the process of speaking.
"Not everyone fears the unknown, sometimes knowing too much can be scary itself." Rainy explains, looking down due to her mind starting to drift towards the past.
"You do have a fair point." Li accepts the answer given to him.
"Anyways I'm not sure if this'll translate over to his home life but if I have to answer this question, then I'd say no because he's been trained under our dad for so long that he can only use what he's been taught in order to get through situations and so even though he does want to move along...some people just...they just don't know how they can do it and Sunny clearly doesn't since he believes that simply winning this game will do the job." Rainy explains.
"Thank you for giving us such a detailed answer! Now this next one is For Ciara: I don't want to call you out, because you can do what you want with your life, but I'm curious whether or not you regret sleeping with Sunny (one of the most hazardous people in the game) and/or Rival (who has several people pining for him that you likely upset). Furthermore, would you have slept with Jared, knowing fully well how strong Lia's crush on him is?" Erin reads without thinking about what she's reading.
"If there's one fling I definitely regret, it's the one with Sunny because he was absolute a crappy person and really stooped to lower lows like beating up his teammates which is something I think is crossing the line no matter how you put it, sure he's still kind of hot but looks aren't the only thing about a person which matters, who they are on the inside does." Ciara quickly answers, she didn't need any time to even think up of an answer for what she first said.
"That's a good first response, hopefully you can cover the rest of the question smoothly or else we might have some problems." Kay states, this caused Erin's eyes to widen.
"Why are you talking to her...menacingly!?" Erin decided to make a reference to Sponge Bob because of course she does. Kay then directs for her to lean closer and upon leaning closer she informs the optimistic host about her reasoning.
"Now you know why, although I'm not sure why my anger is only directed towards her." Kay points out before looking down.
"You can answer the question as honestly as you'd like, I'm going to think of what to say towards Rival later since I'm more disappointed in him than you." Erin says, her smile had gone away as she spoke.
"Honestly the night with Rival was very good, but I'm regretting sleeping with him since he did do some really messed up stuff yesterday which was due to his 'glitchy side' but knowing that's deep inside him was disappointing and seeing these girls react makes me feel real guilty although I'm also partially to blame for not really getting to know him before sleeping with him, but at least I've learned that I need to know the people I sleep with before sleeping with them." Ciara responds to the second part of the question.
"That was actually a better answer than I'd expected, I expected you to make-" Kay starts responding to this answer.
"Maybe I'll need a ruler next time to get to know the person's size~" Ciara states before giggling a bit.
"Aaand there it is." Kay comments while rolling her eyes.
"Kidding~ For the last part of that question, maybe sleeping with Jared wouldn't be the best idea since he's a great guy and all...but the last thing I want to do is evoke the wrath of 'Red-Eyed Lia' considering how terrifying she can be." Ciara confirms with a nervous smile on her face.
"At least it sounds like you've at least learned a few things from Total Drama, now this final question is For Ingrid: I don't want to prod the open wound left by Chloe, but I feel the need to ask you about whether or not you're okay. Overall, was Total Drama still a good experience for you, or did your traitorous teammates taint the journey completely?" Kay asks the last question for the second set of questions.
"The en-ending of it all d-did rather sour my experience overall, but th-there was some good whi-which surprisingly came out of it." Ingrid admits with a smile of uncertainty.
"Is it right for me to be doing what I'm currently doing?" Fergy starts getting lost in his own train of thoughts.
"Some people I've m-met like F-Fergy and J-Jared definitely treated m-me v-very well and I'd like to re-repay them for what they've d-done someday." Ingrid says, her smile slowly started to lose the nervousness in it.
"I'm not a loser, but it doesn't mean I'm not going to mess up." Fergy continues thinking to himself, he seems to be paying no attention to what his eliminated teammate is saying.
"Although looking on the p-positive side can only w-work for so long until you remember th-that sometimes the n-negatives do outweigh the g-good which h-happens, especially when you could've a-avoided i-it." Ingrid's words started going down a more pessimistic route.
"Besides, just because you have good intentions it doesn't mean you'll always get what you want and even right now I'm unsure what my next moves should be." Fergy starts grabbing his hair while his train of thoughts traveled deeper into the tracks in his mind.
"Not every so-solution is as simple a-as...looking on the br-bright side because wh-when you don't consider the negatives at a-all, you're in denial." Ingrid continues to explain herself, slowly she starts leaning towards the guy sitting next to her and eventually he felt her touch.
"O-Oh! Sorry, I spaced out for a second there." Fergy immediately says with a nervous chuckle, he then looks over at the girl right beside him.
"Overall, the experience wasn't g-good b-because...What did I get out of all this?" Ingrid asks a question of her own, shortly after tears began filling her eyes once again. This causes everyone to look over at Fergy who looks down at the girl with a smile like he's constantly had the entire aftermath before wrapping an arm around her. Upon feeling his arms around her shoulder, the shy girl looks up at the guy who did this and sees that he's staring into her eyes.
"Do you have something in the back of your mind that's constantly putting you down? If so then I'll gladly help you put your demons to rest because you'll finally have an angel you can listen to, now I'm not exactly an 'angel' but if you'd like for me to help you find your beat then...I was going for an Angel Beats reference there but that failed miserably, let me try again." Fergy realizes he messed up in what to say, but this mistake caused a bit of a laughter out of the girl he's trying to help cheer up.
"Talking can b-be a h-hassle." Ingrid admits and she seems to not have minded him messing up his words at all.
"You're right, maybe action should be the way I'll speak." Fergy confirms before he wipes the tears from the girl's eyes and this causes her to blush.
"F-Fergy..." Ingrid says with stars suddenly shinning in her eyes and her jaw slowly begins to drop at what was she's currently seeing.
"You had a little somethin' in your eyes, anyways we should probably move onto the next set of questions before we make the audience too bored." Fergy responds, he looks over at the hosts upon saying these words. The crowd had a bunch of groans and even some booing in response to this to indicate that the words of the simp weren't true at all, however Kay nods and decides to comply with this request by standing up and going to the back of the curtains once again. Meanwhile, Fergy internally sighed in relief while Ingrid looks down with her face continuing to have a flustered look on it
"This is the most cards inside any of the stacks, apparently." Kay confirms upon walking back with the next set of questions right in her hands. This caused everyone to look at the stack and each of them had noticed that this stack had sixteen questions inside of it, which meant it had literally twice the amount of questions compared to the previous set of questions. The pessimistic host hands the cards over to her opposite and the blonde-haired girl accepts the cards before staring at them in her hand.
"Okay, now we've got a set of questions from ninjedi this time! How convenient, now the first question is: Kennedy, We only ever really saw you prank the K-Shidas team, mainly Jun. Who on the other teams do you wish you could've pranked when you had the chance?" Erin starts reading the next batch of questions.
"As you can currently see, obviously I'd love to have pranked Li but it looks like doing it is nearly impossible for me to do since he knows all my tricks and is far too smart to catch with one of my pranks." Kennedy says while she slowly closed her notebook and sighs upon putting her pen inside of it.
"Well that's quite convenient but you're right with some of the words your mouth is spewing on out, but I'm sure you don't need me to explain which ones I believe are true." Li responds, he knew how obvious his words currently are.
"Indeed you do not however there are other people who I'd be curious in pranking like Vince perhaps." Kennedy explains, this causes Vince to raise an eyebrow.
"Wh-Why m-me?" Vince asks with a tilted head.
"Because all it'd take to prank you would probably be something like 'someone killed your dog and so you need to do this to get revenge on them' especially since more often than not from what I've seen the main characters usually do get their revenge and if they don't then the story isn't as satisfying." Kennedy gives away her approach towards pranking the movie-referencing boy.
"Two problems with that, I'm nowhere on the level of Gun-fu that John Wick's on and also the dog's death wasn't the only thing he was pissed off about." Vince points out.
"Are you saying you wouldn't get revenge on your dog's murderer no matter how good at 'Gun-fu' you are?" Kennedy questions with her arms crossed.
"Don't take w-words out of my mou-mouth, but n-no I'd try getting my revenge on them." Vince confirms with a nervous smile.
"My point still stands, now the only other person I'd try to prank would probably be Alex since he's someone I'm curious on if I could get someone like him." Kennedy finishes answering her question.
"How con-convenient." Vince remarks at this answer.
"Coincidental indeed also Li, Who are you again?" Kay reads the next question as if she's genuinely asking it right now.
"I'm Jun Li Feng and if there's one obvious negative traits about me its that I share my name with a delusional self-aggrandizing steaming pile of great ape monkey shit known as Jun Kamoshida." Li answers, this answer got some laughs out of the audience.
"You certainly have a way with words." Kay remarks with a straight face.
"Obviously, although that was a very weird question for me to hear." Li admits while Kennedy's seen doing something in front of the guy but since the camera is too specifically focused on the person answering the question.
"Hey Kamoshida, mind helping me solve this problem?" Li hears Kennedy say behind him and this causes his left eye to twitch.
"Hey! Don't compare me to that guy!" Li states and he stands up from his seat before walking towards the girl who requested his assistance.
"I'm pretty sure no one would like to be mistaken for him." Kennedy points out with a poker face.
"Exactly, now what would you like for me to help you out with?" Li questions, he sat down by the girl thanks to there being a good amount of space on The K-Shida's bench remaining.
"What is 23 times 3? Also I'm asking for help because Math is too boring for me to do it by myself." Kennedy asks a fairly easy math question and the question is seen in her book.
"The answer to that question is actually very fitting since it's the nicest number ever produced." Li begins speaking, some members of the audience were heard already laughing since it sounded like they also solved the easy math problem.
"Then again, calculating the chances of me getting you with my next prank was necessary since Math may be boring but it is needed in order for me to execute plans which could get people." Kennedy remarks, a smile slowly formed on her face upon saying these words.
"You seem fairly confident about that, now the answer to your question is-" Li begins giving the answer to her question.
"Would you like to 'get your mouth wet' in words you would've probably said?" Kennedy gives him an offer upon pulling a bottle water from out of her pocket.
"Hell yeah, I've yet to drink that much up here so that would definitely help me on out." Li answers, he grabs the bottle water and holds it in his hand with a smile on his face. However he analyzes the water first by squeezing the bottle and he even rubs his hands against it just to check if there's anything off about it in case this was another prank. Nothing about it seemed to indicate that this was a prank, in fact the bottle of water seemed completely normal and so he grabs the cap before turning it.
"Gotcha~" Kennedy states in her mind upon seeing these events play out in front of her eyes.
"Time to drink." Li says after taking off the cap and he immediately goes to drink the water out from the bottle. However his eyes widened and realized all too late that something about the bottle was different which didn't become clear until he felt the bottle suddenly get harder to hold onto due to what had happened inside of it. He felt no water enter his mouth and he pulls away the bottle before seeing what the intended prank had been which he had fallen for, the water which used to be in the bottle had turned into ice.
"YES! And that's why Science is amazing!" Kennedy cheers while jumping onto her feet, the audience all clapped for the prankster thanks to her infectious energy. Li looks at the water which had instantly turned into ice after he opened the bottle before chuckling a bit, he appears to not be too upset over finally getting pranked because it had been completely harmless. Another reason had been because he couldn't get mad at the girl for finally pranking him by utilizing something he's not that familiar with, which meant he'd probably need to learn about Science more.
"Well played, you've finally achieved your goal!" Li states, he gets onto his feet and he randomly throws the bottle without looking.
"Ow!" Erin's heard responding in pain after the bottle is heard being smacked against her.
"Sorry, I'll make sure to look before I throw next time." Li immediately apologizes before he turns his attention back to the girl who pranked him.
"You were indeed a worthy opponent, and it appears that you're definitely someone I'm going to keep an eye out for if we return for another season, so I hope you enjoyed this little experiment in the Scientific Method." Kennedy says to him before sitting back down and she goes back to writing down in her notebook.
"How much amount of steps are you using for it though?" Li asks due to the fact that he remembers that the amount of steps in the Method can vary. However the girl doesn't answer and Kay is seen directing him to sit back down, so he complies by walking back over to his bench and sitting down.
"Pranksters can be quite upbeat, anyways Vince, I'm sure everyone has been asking what your favorite movie is, so I'm gonna ask you what is your least favorite movie?" Kay does the next question after smiling a bit at the start of her sentence.
"That's actually the t-toughest question I've been a-asked yet...I'm unable to think of any m-movies I'd call the worse so I'll answer that q-question probably wh-when the next after-aftermath comes along." Vince decides to avoid the question.
"Well that's surprising, considering how you're the embodiment of movie references it is quite interesting you don't have movies you would call the worse, how about I suggest an answer for you like Cube Zero?" Kennedy tries helping him come up with an answer.
"How about The Twilight Movies?" Li decides to hop on with another movie suggestion.
"Or perhaps Cars 2?" Jackie adds onto the list.
"South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut!" Brooke is heard speaking from the TV screen even though she's currently not in sight.
"How about SAW 3D? Seriously that movie was so needlessly cruel." Rae explains her reasoning for choosing her movie.
"My pick would be Dragonball Evolution." Fergy remembers this movie while shaking his head.
"Nightcrawler." Rainy simply adds her opinion on the matter in one word.
"High School Musical for me." Ciara confirms before looking over at the last person who by default needed to add onto the list but she decides to speak up, "You don't need to answer, Ingrid."
"Thank y-you." Ingrid says, letting out a sigh of relief in her response.
"Godzilla, the 1998 version." Erin joins the conversation with a suggestion of her own.
"Alrght there's a-a bunch o-of stinkers out there, but in my o-opinion I don't have a l-least favorite r-right now." Vince clarifies, deciding to stick to the choice he had made earlier to not answer the question right now.
"That's fair! We've all got our own opinions and we should all remember that, now Jackie, Why did you not vote for Jun? Unless you did vote for him, in which who do you think didn't vote for Jun?" Erin decided to move onto the next question.
"To be honest...I don't remember if I'd voted for Jun." Jackie admits, a drop of sweat goes down her face during her speaking.
"How much things have you forgotten about?" Kennedy asks with a raised eyebrow.
"More things than I'd like." Jackie answers with her smile only being a slight one now.
"That's unfortunate, but if you can't answer that question then it sounds like we need to move onto the next one, so Brooke, What are your genuine thoughts on Fergy? You were a bit mean to him when you were-." Kay stops before asking the complete sentence.
"Oh Valerie~" Brooke is heard saying before more kissing sounds came from the TV screen right by everyone, Erin pulls out the remote for it since no one on the screen were seen, she then presses the mute button on it.
"We should let them have some alone time so we'll skip...again, Rae, Why didn't you punch Sunny when you got eliminated? That would've been very satisfying at that moment." Erin moves to the next question with a smile on her face.
"Because that would mean he'd deserve my punches, however if I meet him once again I'll make sure to give him all the goddamn karma he deserves." Rae states with clenched fists.
"E-Eeep!" Rainy realizes how angry the odd one out is, so she responds by jumping a little.
"So the answer to your question is that I'm planning to punch the crap out of him later and probably mentally break him like he's done to Leon, perhaps he should also be disposed because he may be trying to make himself worth something but really he's worthless and is trying to make himself think otherwise but I think we should fix that." Rae states, her voice had gone deeper and she sounded like every single word she's saying is completely true. What's even more noteworthy is the fact that her face had the slightest of smiles on it since the girl sounds like she's still coming up with potential ideas on how to give Sunny the karma he deserves in her mind.
"Don't stoop yourself to his level, if you do all that then you'll just be like him." Li out of all people decided to inform the girl who had just spoken.
"Right, my mind made me get carried away so apologies for thinking of doing all that." Rae responds, in no time the smallest smile ever had gone away and her straight face returns once more.
"That would be quite a cold-blooded thing to inflict on anyone for sure, anyways Fergy, This has always bothered me, but where did you find the hidden safety necklace?" Kay reads the question with barely any emotions in her voice.
"Well if you'd like to know, the location of the necklace was inside my pot during Episode 7's challenge." Fergy explains.
*Flashback Begins*
"Phew, you made the right choice Ja-" Hannah says before looking over at Jared, Jared was seen hitting his head against his pot which made Hannah gulp a bit and she looks away after. She felt a stare being directed at her and she looks around the room to see if she was right about her theory. Her eyes eventually landed on Fergy who she knew was staring at her, but the reason for this is something she couldn't figure out, "Fergy?..."
"Hey Hannah, do you have any secrets to spill?" Fergy questions which makes Hannah's eyes widen before shaking her head, he pulled something out of his pot before putting it in his pocket while asking this.
"No, Why do you ask?" Hannah curiously asks him, Fergy then places the unscrambled piece of paper which he had gotten from Hannah's mouth, in front of her.
*Flashback Ends*
"Honestly my intentions on what to do with that necklace were unclear because my mind at the time had just been focused on confronting Hannah on the information I'd just received." Fergy further elaborates on his mindset when he did get the elimination preventing object.
"At least you didn't find a hidden immunity idol." Kennedy remarks, she no longer had been writing in her notebook since there were no other reason for it at this moment.
"W-When did you k-know what you wanted t-to do with i-it?" Ingrid nervously asks.
"...Let's just say a certain someone wanted to eliminated themselves for my sake but I'd decided that the idea they came up wasn't worth it, they helped me and now I'm rooting for that person to win the game because no matter what they do what they've done for me outweighs any other negative actions of theirs." Fergy explains, he was smiling while answering.
"Of course you like Hannah, she looks good and she did use what she knew about me to help you out but knowing her, sooner or later the moves she'll make will dictate how true your statement will hold up." Kay responds.
"Are you sure you know Hannah that well? It sounds like you might be biased against her." Fergy retorts by asking a question of his own.
"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't biased against her in a way considering she never helped me when I needed her, but I'm her sister and let's just say just because someone starts off as a good person, it doesn't mean they'll always be that because in this game of Total Drama the biggest choice you need to make which will dictate how you are seen is whether you want to play with strategy or play with heart. Both of them don't go together because you can either see the competition as a game where you can use people or a game where you can play with other people who you could help and who could help you, when you try to mix the two then more times than not they'll clash and that makes you indecisive and when you're indecisive you better hope no one else notices because that's when people take advantage of you. I'm hoping that deep down Hannah will make the decision which makes me finally see her in a better light, but if she doesn't then I won't be surprised because you could either leave the game as someone who people will respect and appreciate or you could leave the game as someone who cared more about competition and money over people and thus you're now the 'bad guy' no matter your intentions, that's just how this game works and it won't take much longer for her to know what I do." Kay explains, this caused everyone to look over at her with widened eyes.
"And Kaylee Jordan takes first place for the longest monologue so far! Congratulations!" Erin lightens up the mood which got some of the audience members to laugh.
"Yaaay, I took first place in something I don't care about." Kay sarcastically responds, however her words made Fergy slowly look towards the ground.
"I'll believe in Hannah, I'll believe that she will be someone I can safely root for once she's won the game." Fergy reassures to himself inside his mind, he then looks away from the ground and at the hosts.
"Anyways that definitely took a while so I'll lead us to the next question, Rainy, Do you think your brother can win, or do you think the end is near for him?" Kay reads from the cards once again.
"The thing about Sunny is that his life in the game completely depends on if he truly understands the emotional aspect of the game, if he doesn't then yeah the end is near but if he's able to actually get close to people without wanting to feel superior and 'worthy' by standing over them then I think he could have a shot at winning this game." Rainy answers, it sounded like she continued to think about her answer to the question while speaking.
"That's a pretty big IF." Li remarks.
"Well at least it's an answer so for answering it Rainy, I shall give you a arigato! Now Ciara, Can you rank the remaining contestants from the most to least hot?" Erin goes to the next question.
"Oh that one's easy: Hannah, Sunny, Jun, Leo, Evan, Kyle, Lia, Miriam, Jared, Alex, and Chloe. All of that is based off appearances alone though, if it wasn't then this would be a lot more different." Ciara answers honestly, some of her picks caused some boo's from the audience.
"Well in the end it's not the looks of a person which matters, it matters what's on the inside!" Jackie loudly says, trying to twist the answers to not be too relevant.
"Our initial impression of people normally comes from how they look and act, although not everyone's going to show who they really are immediately and if you like the true them then you need to decide that based off how they initially act and how they really act, so I'd say that your statement has some flaws to it, but I guess you can believe what you believe." Rae points out.
"How is e-everyone able t-to speak such long sen-sentences?" Vince asks while stuttering up a storm.
"When you speak your mouth and feelings, the words just come together naturally." Ciara answers this other question.
"Sounds like someone understands the art of speaking very well, anyways let's get to the next question: Ingrid, Hey, since I have a feeling that you're gonna get asked some rough questions, assuming you didn't already get asked already, how about I ask something nice and simple with what are your favorite plants?" Kay reads before blinking upon reading this question.
"M-My favorite plants a-are Dahlia's, p-pink is my favorite color and t-the flower looks so beautiful w-when it's pink...also thank y-you for going easy with your question f-for m-me." Ingrid answers, she is seen grabbing her own hand and smiling slightly.
"Well I'm sure there's many people in this room who cares for you right now! Just because one person has turned their back on you it doesn't mean that everyone else have done so, in fact I'll try helping you get through your heartbreak!" Erin loudly and confidently.
"Thanks for th-the offer, but in the e-end it's d-down to me to decide how l-long Ch-Chloe's backstab will affect me." Ingrid responds.
"Well you are right to an extent about that...Anyways, this next question is different because it is for Everyone, Who are you rooting for to win, and who are you rooting for to have a humiliating defeat?" Erin questions, she then looks over at all the eliminated contestants in front of her.
"Alright hot boys and girls, how about we all start off with the rooting for?" Li starts by trying to take the lead for the conversation.
"Jared." Rainy and Ingrid both immediately answer in unison.
"Jared, I guess?" Rae goes along with the other girls who have answered so far, but she does this with a shrug.
"Kyle." Ciara and Li also answer in unison, they looked at each other and laughed a little upon doing this.
"A-Alex." Vince answers with a nervous chuckle.
"Evan, he deserves it!" Jackie says loudly and proudly.
"It's obvious that I'm rooting for Hannah, so yeah." Fergy says what everyone had been expecting for him to say.
"I didn't have much time to really build much friendships but I'm rooting for Miriam to win." Kennedy confirms without any hesitation.
"...I've just remembered that we had muted Brooke, so lets-" Erin begins speaking, only for the TV screen that the contestant is using to shut off and everyone look on in confusion. Kay sighs before standing up and she decides to be the one who walked behind the curtains and everyone waited in awkward silence for the explanation of what's happening. Soon after, Kaylee walks through the curtains and sits down in her seat once more.
"We lost connection with Brooke which means that she has technically exited the reunion early." Kay gives everyone the rundown of what happened.
"Hopefully she's okay, however the show must go on so now you can all confirm who you want to see have a 'humiliating defeat'!" Erin directs, she uses air quotes at the end of the sentence.
"Sunny." Li, Rae, Vince, and Ciara all answer without any second thoughts.
"Chloe." Rainy and Fergy both gives their answers before looking at each other with raised eyebrows.
"S-Same..." Ingrid hesitantly agrees with Rainy and Fergy.
"Jun." Kennedy confirms after everyone else has answered.
"I don't wish for that upon anyone, but if I had to choose then it'd probably be Jun." Jackie goes along with Kennedy's answer.
"Well those were some interesting answers." Kay responds upon hearing all of the answers which came out of each of the contestant's mouths.
"It looks like these next two questions are actually for me which I should've expected considering who they're sent from, anyways who here would like to read them for me?!" Erin asks with excitement in her voice. Someone else grabs out the cards from her hands from behind and everyone looked over at the person who had done this. Slowly the camera revealed who the person that took the cards out of her hands was by slowly panning up his body before reaching their face.
"Ahhh, it's good to be back hosting Total Drama!" Chris McLean declares before winking at the camera, the audience loudly cheered for him in response to this and the returned host took in the warm welcome from the audience. However right after saying this he felt a hand grab his shoulder and he looks over at the person who had grabbed his shoulder. Before he could speak up the person walked in front of him and had a smirk on his face upon standing in front of the returning host.
"Sorry to disappoint you~ But I'll be reading these questions." Rival Survival remarks by turning around and he swipes the cards out of Chris's hand.
"You're just saying that because this question is about one of your three girlfriends, Drama." Chris points out before going to swipe the cards back.
"Exactly, now let me do this." Rival responds, he catches the returning host by his wrist but the host chuckles and smiled at him.
"Glad to see you're as emotional as ever, in fact that's perfect for causing drama to the point I'm sure that you breaking THE Chris McLean's hand would perhaps stir the pot between you and my son." Chris points out, this causes Rival to glare into his eyes.
"Can the two of you not hurt each other? There's no hospital transportation so if anyone gets hurt then we won't be able to heal them so quickly, also how about we let Chris read the questions about the contestants outside the game? We all know he's too prideful to turn down the chance to do so." Erin tries her best to make sure things do escalate and she stands up in order to try and get through to them.
"...Fine." Rival goes along with the plan and he lets go of the host's hand before he hands over the cards to him before walking past him, however he decides to remain standing.
"See, it wasn't that hard...also I don't like the phrasing of this question but I'll ask them both anyways...Erin, Hello 'best girl', why did you decide to grow your hair out super long? It seems like it would get in your way really easily and How is Angry Erin doing?" Chris asks the questions after clearing his throat.
"Because I wanted my hair to be as long as Kay's hair, just so I can show her my support for her will keep on going when it comes to helping her get better from being betrayed!" Erin cheerily answers the question.
"Thanks for that." Kay thanks her in response.
"Wait didn't you try to test your hair when it came to one of your inventions you called 'The Haircutter'?" Rival recalls.
"Yes, thanks for helping my hair stay intact when the machine nearly teared off my hair, also Angry Erin is doing perfectly fine!" Erin quickly answers the second question.
"Angry Erin? Is that like Red-Eyed Lia?" Jackie questions.
"Basically, except she's her own person and is actually good at heart!" Erin explains in as little words possible.
"For some reason I doubt that." Rae immediately responds.
"Next Question! Rival, How was hosting, and do you think you will do more in the future?" Chris suddenly goes to the next question.
"Honestly hosting went well for the most part...although I don't think I'll do it again since some of my...issues got in the way and I don't think my attitude at the end was the best especially since I was unable to prevent Ingrid from getting backstabbed." Rival responds, he looks over at Kay while speaking and he looks over at Ingrid afterwards.
"I-It's okay, you tr-tried to h-help me...after you nearly k-killed some of u-us." Ingrid doesn't leave out everything that happened the previous day.
"You'd be surprised with how easily you can get over that part." Erin comments, this caused the eliminated contestants to look at her with confused faces.
"Let's just move onto the last question from this set: Adrian, As the defacto master of backstabbing your friends, what do you think of Chloe metaphorically and literally stabbing Ingrid in the back?" Chris moves the questions along before the discussions could get too awkward.
"Sounds like I'll be a called an 'backstabber' for the rest of my life, anyways what Chloe did was cold-blooded and I don't condone what she did, so yeah that moment of betrayal is not good." Adrian says, he walked out through the curtains before turning around and walking back through them once he was done answering the question.
"W-Wait, did you two come from b-behind the cur-curtains also?" Vince realizes and he decides to question Rival and Chris.
"Of course, why wouldn't we?" The two hosts of the competition part of the season confirm at the same time.
"...G-Good p-point." Vince says, Kay is seen getting up from her seat and she takes the third set of cards from out of Chris's hands who didn't resist giving them to her at all. She walks through the curtains and gets the fourth set of questions that had been sent on in which she tossed over to Rival. Rival caught the cards before handing them over to Erin while Kay arrived at her seat seconds later before sitting down.
"Our second to last set of questions are from Musical Essence of Runa so here they are! All these questions will be for everyone so: What was your biggest downfall in the whole season?" Erin asked the first question for everyone.
"For me, it'd be displaying my intelligence too early in the game and not targeting anyone with it since that left me as an easy target for Jun to take out at the start due to the fact that his social game started off well with him getting just enough of our team to vote me out, so I believe that if I'd use my intelligence to get him out then I would've lasted longer." Kennedy explains what she believes in deep detail.
"My biggest mistake was leaving Leon vulnerable for Sunny to attack, and so because of that it led to my elimination but also made Leon his puppet for most of the game and so that's what I believe was my biggest downfall." Li says before sighing.
"L-Lia, seriously she'll f-fight for J-Jared so having th-things come down to me or h-him, well it was always going to lead to my e-elimination." Vince gives his take on the question.
"My biggest downfall was Jun, although he's just playing the game so I can't blame him too much since me and Evan were definitely a very good duo and so voting off a member of a duo for the sake of strategy makes sense." Jackie confirms, she didn't sound upset in her answer at all.
"Looking back at it, trusting Sunny had been my biggest downfall because little did I know that he'd use his sister to vote me off and that she would actually listen to him but if I hadn't fallen for his tricks then I'd definitely advanced farther in the game but me not doing anything to reduce Sunny's control was my mistake." Rae states, she believed every word that came out her mouth.
"I'm not upset over my elimination, but I guess my simp-y nature did make me oversee the obvious stuffs like what Chloe really thought of her friends and so I'm going to continue partially blame myself over that." Fergy answers before looking over at the girl who used to believe she was Chloe's friend.
"Listening to Sunny for so long, I'm pretty sure there's nothing else for me to elaborate on since I've made it clear why listening to my brother was my biggest flaw, not just for me in the competition but also for me before my elimination." Rainy says, she looks down after she finished speaking.
"Now I'm with these two in the sense that I've got no idea what my biggest downfall during the game was considering I'd eliminated myself for the sake of someone else, however I guess you could say that makes my biggest flaw in the game was being selfless?" Ciara answers the question with uncertainty.
"T-Trusting Ch-Chloe..." Ingrid simply said, and that's all that she needed to say because everyone already knew why.
"Thank you all for your answers-!" Erin cheerily says before looking at her cards once again.
"You thank them for answering the question?" Chris questions this.
"Just let her do what she wants, stopping her won't ever work." Rival responds, basically saying that stopping Erin from thanking contestants for answering questions is futile.
"Here's the last question for this fourth batch!: When you got eliminated, who do you think could've been eliminated instead?" Erin confirmed before firing away with the last question. Preparing early, Kay grabbed the cards and did her routine of getting the next set of questions like she's been doing the entire night.
"Obviously Jun, in fact he would've been eliminated if there was one more vote for him." Kennedy swiftly answers.
"Sunny, for the same reasons that Kennedy mentioned." Li adds his answer to the list.
"Jared unfor-unfortunately, because of th-the reasons that Kennedy a-and Li said." Vince does the same.
"I still don't remember what happened during my elimination." Jackie doesn't answer the question due to her memory which conveniently allowed her to avoid this question.
"I'm under the belief that Sunny could have definitely been eliminated...actually now that I think about it, my elimination was the second time he could've been voted out." Rae realizes in the middle of her answer.
"Without hindsight, only I could've been eliminated since Hannah getting eliminated is something I'd never let happen and so for me, no one else could've been eliminated because of me." Fergy states with a firm voice.
"Alex would've been Sunny's next target, so I believe if it weren't for me taking myself out he could have been most likely eliminated next." Rainy theorizes based off what she knew at the time.
"We were never going to vote off Jared, however Lia could've been eliminated in my place considering me and her wanted to be eliminated in his place and so if she won then she could've been eliminated instead." Ciara explains her answer.
"I-I...I don't know, I c-could n-never stab anyone, so I'm u-under the belief that o-only I'd be eliminated because Ch-Chloe had my trust and because I'm too p-pacifistic to nearly kill someone." Ingrid confirms, she sniffed upon finishing her sentence and she shakes her head in a attempt to prevent herself from crying once again.
"You're all so predictable in your answers." Chris comments while yawning to himself.
"And you're such a predictably bored sadist." Rival remarks, he's currently leaning against the TV screen on the stage.
"I've got the last set of questions." Kay is heard announcing before she reaches the other host of the aftermath and she hands one of the cards to her, she decides to keep on for herself and she handed the last two remaining cards to Chris.
"Our last set of questions have been sent from Sephiria Arks to wrap up this reunion-!" Erin yells out.
"This ain't the Reunion." Kay immediately points out the error.
"I mean Aftermath! Whoopsies on that one, anyways errors aside here's our First Question: Ingrid, other than friendship why did you let Chloe eliminate someone? You could have barely pressed the knife into someone and it still would be considered as a stab." Erin asks the question on her card.
"Unfortunately the producers actually informed me that for someone to be eliminated they need to be stabbed deeply, guess they were just that confident at how quickly the contestants can be healed, although what I do know is that they didn't want the contestant to be eliminated so easily and when they choose to eliminate someone they'd be sure of their elimination since simply poking someone would've been too easy." Rival explains about the way of elimination from the previous day.
"Sounds like they followed my orders to keep things interesting and brutal somehow...although ensuring that someone needed to be stabbed deeply is unexpected and I do need to have a chat with them on that." Chris comments, the information he's just heard has clearly caught his attention.
"Anyways, how about we let Ingrid answer the question? If she's got some stuffs she needs to get off her chest then hopefully she can do so here." Rival turns the topic of conversation into Ingrid's hands.
"Th-Thank y-you." Ingrid says with a nod.
"It's the least I can do for what I'd done." Rival responds before looking over at Fergy who nervously smiled at him, however he then looks back over at Ingrid who is opening her mouth to answer the question.
"L-Like I've said, th-there's no w-way I'd st-stab someone...so I thought that m-maybe letting Chloe do the j-job would make me feel less guilty a-about it...b-but my trust in her is the biggest reason w-why I handed the kn-knife to her and s-she betrayed me with n-no rem-remorse and that...th-that...tha-that just..." Ingrid is unable to finish her sentence and Fergy wraps his arm around her in an attempt to comfort her.
"Can we skip this question? I don't like the reaction it's getting out of her." Kaylee states before her eyes slowly looked towards the gun along with Ingrid.
"Hey Kay, are you saying that you'd like to leeve this question behind?" Rival asks, he puts a hand on her shoulder and she looks up at him.
"Really?...another pun?" Kay asks with a smile on her face.
"Well at least you know that whenever I'm making a pun that I'll always try helping you cheer up, after all I'm always one call away." Rival remarks, pulling a phone from out of his pocket and he throws it without looking but the phone luckily lands in Ingrid's hands.
"Isn't that the title of a Charlie Puth song?" Li is heard pointing out.
"W-What's this phone f-for?" Ingrid asks while turning on the phone given to her, she swipes it open and notices the first app she sees on top of her device is the Contacts list. Fergy leaned over to see what was on her phone and the two of them looked on in curiosity to see if there were even anybody in the list of contacts for the phone. Suddenly their eyes widened upon seeing that there was one contact already on the phone and that the person in the list was...
"Why is my phone number on this?!" Fergy loudly asks, he then looks over at Rival who chuckled.
"Told ya I'd make you pay for your comment, now Ingrid can contact you when you're busy later on." Rival says before he looks over at Kay who laughed a bit thanks to him and this laughter caused her to blush a bit.
"You can still make others happy...that's good to see." Erin comments before she looks back over at Fergy and Ingrid.
"I'm trusting y-you to b-be there for me when I c-call y-you, okay? I'm only going to do s-so when I really need you b-but I'm trusting you here." Ingrid nervously says while staring into the simp's eyes.
"...Okay, I'll be there for you when you call me." Fergy confirms with a reassuring nod.
"Why is everything so sappy right now?!" Chris disrupts the mood, this causes everyone on stage to groan upon hearing his words.
"And you're as inconsiderate as ever but if you insist we need to move on then we will move onto Rainy, do you think your brother is sincerely trying to change for the better or is this another scheme of his to gain the better hand and eliminate those he thinks are worthless?" Kay reads the next question, this time it's directed towards the eliminated Persnisky sibling.
"I'm sure he's trying to actually change from his old ways but the thing is that this is likely just a game move on his part because while wants to change, like I mentioned earlier he believes simply winning the game will cause this to happen even though it won't, so something will HAVE to make him change if this side of him will ever become genuine. Plus, if he manages to strategically and emotionally get the upper hand then he'll definitely eliminate people who are w-worthless, it probably is a matter of time." Rainy gives her complete answer.
"I hope he stays in." Chris remarks with a smile on his face.
"Alright McLean, now you read the last two cards." Kay directs, she looks at the person who's going to host the reason of the season.
"No one tells me what to do! However I'll listen to you this time because I've got nothing else to do." Chris complies for once, he then looks at the cards in his hands.
"Oh hi Vince." Rival says from seemingly out of nowhere.
"Hello, I am Baymax." Vince responds by making another movie reference.
"Sorry I got no personal health care companions, but it looks like you're still making references, that's good to know." Rival comments before looking away, Vince then nods in agreement.
"Did you two meet before?" Li questions, looking back while asking this.
"You c-could say th-that." Vince simultaneously answers and yet doesn't answer the question given to him.
"Quiet!" Chris yells out very quickly.
"Yes sensei!" Vince shouts in response while stuttering, taking the host's words in the direction that he was giving them a Cobra Kai reference and so he went along with it.
"Good, now it's time for me to ask the final two questions: Adrian, will you and Rival have a truce like this again?" Chris rolls with it and just advances into asking the next question.
"If we're in a game together, then no because we both know everything is far game in a competition but if we're not on a season then I'm sure we could probably nearly avoid fighting each other again." Adrian says after walking out through the curtains once more.
"This is a rare case where I'm going to need to agree with Kenneth Allen here with that statement because of reasons we are both aware of." Rival names a MMA fighter in the middle of his sentence, although he does agree with him.
"I'll let your words slide this time." Adrian decides to not get upset and he turns around, the next thing he does is walk through the curtains once again where he has been this entire aftermath.
"And here's our final question...Rival, how's your love life going?" Chris asks this question with the biggest smile on his face.
"Oh right! We need to talk with you about what happened between you and Ciara." Erin finally remembers to confront the guy who the question is meant for about his love life.
"Guess I set myself up for this didn't I? Well, I'm not sure what made me decide on doing Ciara to be honest." Rival says, scratching the back of his head.
"Oh it was your glitchy side making you do rash decisions? If so then that means everything you did weren't your decisions and so I'll let you off the hook completely for that!" Erin immediately forgives him.
"...I'll forgive you t-too." Kay says with a forced smile.
"You two are actually going to forgive his actions that quickly?" Rae questions, she sounded as excited as ever...which is not at all.
"They're both sure there's good in him no matter what he does, so because there's clearly some good in Rival, they're choosing to focus on that good." Jackie explains for everyone, it sounded like she completely understood what was happening in front of her.
"That doesn't mean you shouldn't let people off the hook just because they have good in them, people mess up and so sometimes they need to deal with the consequences of messing up, especially when it comes to 'love'." Li gives his take on the situation.
"Exactly, I'm glad you two are on my side but I don't know why you two-" Rival cuts himself off in the middle of his sentence and the pupils in his eyes drastically shrinks, it looks like he's came to a realization.
"Rival! Are you okay?" Erin asks with a worried look on her face, meanwhile Kay gulps and stares worryingly at him.
"This could've all been avoided if I weren't such an idiot." Rival whispers just loud enough for Erin to hear his words.
"Stop cryptically beating yourself up, What in the world are you talking about?" Erin asks another question for the former host.
"Nothing, just don't worry or think about me at all." Rival says, his pupils turning back to their normal sizes and he smiled at her.
"We can't not think about you, especially after what happened when you fought...h-her." Kay doesn't exactly say the name of the girl she's referring too, but it appeared that some people understood who she was talking about.
"And yet you both still love me even despite the crap I did during that fight, and besides I'm going to have to break one of your hearts if not both of your hearts since I'm going to need to choose who I want to be with when everything is said and done, we can't keep staying like this forever and you two should get over me before it's too late." Rival tries convincing the other two girls.
"NO!" Erin and Kay shout in unison.
"W-Why?! What if I accidentally get romantically involved with another girl again?!" Rival loudly asks.
"I'll try befriending them! Because in the end it's all your choice on who you want to choose and I'm not going to stop you from choosing however you want!" Erin responds in kind by shouting happily.
"That would significantly decrease my chances of getting with more than my chances are, but even still I'll see them as another love rival and I'll try my best to get first place in this game of love!" Kay declares, she sounded completely serious and determined.
"You two are too good for someone like me." Rival remarks after letting out a sigh, he then looks at the two girls with a slight yet genuine smile on his face.
"Well considering he tried helping me improve, I can see why the girls like him because while he can let his emotions get the better of him he's really just a person who makes mistakes that he should be punished for but it's hard to punish someone who can lighten up your day." Ingrid thinks to herself while watching all this.
"My answer to your question: My love life is complicated like always, luckily Ciara ain't involved in it but it appears that it'll continue until I decide to put it to an end." Rival finally answers the question before he nods at the camera.
"Well that wasn't quite the drama I'd been hoping for, but considering that there's another half of this season left to go I'm sure there'll be more chances for much more drama to occur, so I can't wait to see this game continue!" Chris exclaims with a smile on his face, it looked like his words were completely honest and that he certainly had expectations for the rest of the season.
"Of course you are, anyways say good bye everyone!" Erin says to the eliminated contestants.
"Here's a perfect goodbye!" Kennedy excitedly says to the camera.
"Bye all you girls and boys~" Li winks at the camera while saying his goodbye.
"A thing isn't beautiful because it lasts." Vince states with a nervous smile to the camera.
"I didn't fall down at all during this! Yaaay!" Jackie simply cheered at her accomplishment which caused some laughter from the audience.
"Good Bye." Rae simply says, deciding to keep her last words short and simple.
"I'll try my best to continue being the best me, and I won't stop because I won't be Giving Up." Fergy says, deciding to reference the episode he was eliminated in for his final words.
"I've found a way to be happy, and I'll try to keep going that way." Rainy states before looking over at Rae who nods at her.
"Bye Bye~ So you all next time!" Ciara gives her last words, she then giggles after speaking.
"While my t-time on this show d-didn't end w-well, I can't wait to come a-again for the next aftermath, s-so good bye." Ingrid confirms and she leans on Fergy once again with a smile on her face.
"Shoots," Rival speaks only one word before he pulls out a gun and shoots it into the ceiling, "Pun intended."
"See you all next time." Kay says her final words to the camera.
"This is my good bye...for n-!" Erin begins speaking, only for pieces of the ceiling to fall and hit her on her head and she giggles while Rival immediately ran over to her.
"That's all we have time for, however there's still more left to go so-!" Chris starts saying, but he pauses like he's waiting for something to happen.
"That feeling doesn't go away,"
"Wow, you guys actually timed it right." Chris remarks upon hearing the music to the outro play.
"Not gonna change my mind no."
"Oh well, that's all for now folks! But stay tuned for the next episode!" Chris declares confident before the screen glitches out and transitions into the outro.
AJ Dispirito-Breeze
"I'm not left with a choice,"
The camera cuts to Hannah who was seen standing in front of a sunset with a poker face, she's in the center of the picture and is seen holding a marker.
"You can't make me use my voice..."
Chloe is seen standing on her left with a bloody knife and a smile on her face.
"And there's no tiiime,"
Alex and Evan (who is holding a gun) were seen standing onto Hannah's left with the two of them looking over at Leon who is seen standing right by them in the picture.
"Time is always theeen,"
Leon is seen looking down while Sunny stared at him with his hands in his pockets.
"I'll be gone when you can see my face and close that open door,"
Jared and Lia are now shown standing on the right side of Hannah, Jared's notably a few steps away from Lia who looked at him while smiling like she always does.
"And go."
Miriam is seen glaring at Jun who is seen closing his eyes and smirking at the camera, he's also seen holding his cross in his hands.
"All the liiies,"
Kyle stands at the end of the right side of Hannah with his hands on his pockets and he's seen nonchalantly watching everyone else inside the picture.
"Lies that it's okaaay,"
The camera stays on all the remaining eleven contestants who are still in the game.
"Sure that you can choose a side but there's no going home,"
Eventually the screen begins fading to black after the entire picture of everyone standing on top of the roof of a building in front of the sunset.
"I know..."
Once the screen went black the song came to an end and it was time for the title card for the season to show up.
