Disclaimer- I do not own any of the Total Drama characters that I choose to torture—I mean put in the story! They are merely here for mine, and your amusement. No profit is being made off of this (No one would would stoop as low as to pay me for this anyway) I give all credit to the creators of Total Drama, as well as Johnny Depp, because...well, he's Johnny Depp!
Note Before The Note: YES, I have changed my name for everyone who was or wasn't asking. You've probably already noticed it by now and I changed it because I felt it was too similar to a very good writer (Sarcasm Master) so I wanted to change it to my own name, something that's mine I guess. As far as I'm concerned, this doesn't change anything in the way of reviews, favs, follows or anything so it's kinda just a 'harmless' change per say. Now on to the actual opening note!
Notes From The Depths of Vampirism- When your favorite contestant from Survivor should have won the million dollars but doesn't... Don't worry, I'm not bitter. Not bitter at all...(Pulls out knife)
Okay, okay, so maybe I have a tad bit of a Survivor obsession, but I'm working through it, honestly! Unfortunately, my obsession isn't the only thing getting in the way of writing my stories. I've also got summer gym going for the entire month of June, a vacation right after that, and then some other stuff at the end of August, so summer won't be as freed up as I was hoping.
On the bright side, my summer activities don't take up too much time so if my constant case of writer's block doesn't attack me too often, things should be good. Speaking of which, I have a new story out! If you haven't seen it yet, it's called The Ridonculous Race: More Ridonculous. Yes, I realize that I just quit a Ridonculous Race fic not too long ago, but it's mostly because I was way more interested in writing this. So, I highly suggest you check out the first episode! I would really appreciate it if you left a review! :)
Okay, okay, I'm done complaining about the Survivor Finale, onto the reviews!
PhenomsServant: *Cough, cough The Kobold Necromancer cough, cough* Thanks though, I just don't want a month between my updates :/
DSX62415: Thanks, and yeah, B served his purpose. He got lots more screen time and a few cool moments, so I think I did him well, especially since he doesn't talk.
Acosta Perez Jose Ramiro: I prefer to call it the Izzy scream, but yes, she did. XD I wouldn't be surprised if Dawn had been accused of a stalker in the past, but I'm almost certain she's been mistaken as a woodland pixie XD
FOWLKON: Definitely a good week for Fanfiction, not so much for school XD What do you think of Total Shuffled All-Stars though? Anyway, thanks for the heads up about how to spell Yusef, I never actually knew XD Also, Owen had appeared to forget his fear of flying after some time during World Tour, so I decided to change it to the pie thing since it was funny. Also, the animal thing could have worked well too.
Trent and Gwen were already drifting closer anyway, so there was no point in him pursuing Samey, especially upon seeing how much Cody was into her. And yes, Amy said sorry, but out of fear and to a giant, not real Samey, so she'd probably take that back in a heartbeat. Your idea with Scarlett, Noah, Max, and Jasmine sounds interesting, I guess you'll just have to see what I have in store.
By the way, the needle in the butt thing was not a stealthy pun, but I guess you could see it that way XD I just did it because needle in butt tends to equal funny.
Guest #1: First of all, did you mean Amy for number two when listing the good moments of the chapter? As far as I'm concerned Samey hasn't done anything, but you are entitled to your opinion. Second, I'm not a NoCo shipper either but I do it because one, some people are, and two, like you said, it's just fun to see Noah annoyed.
Thanks for the extra challenge idea but I one, already have all the challenges now, and two, that would be too similar to the Superhero challenge like you said. Thanks for the idea though!
RFtheGreat: Thanks! I can't spoil anything, but I'll just say that all good villains get some comeuppance sooner or later ;) Also, I don't have any plans for anyone to return from the game, but that doesn't mean someone won't return, so stay tuned!
Joel Connell: Thanks, I'm glad you thought this episode was worth it! Also, quick correction, Scarlett was not afraid of Max, she was merely very annoyed, which is why they did it. Thanks for some ideas regarding Samey and Cody's possible relationship, I might end up using some of them ;)
NerdyNightStocker: Yeah, I figured giving the families money to sell out their kids was a little less sadistic than what Chris has been doing and that's what I'm going for since I'm trying to make him nicer or as nice as possible at this point. Also, just a reminder and you're not the only one, but Scarlett was not afraid of Max. They couldn't find anything she was afraid of so they brought something in that highly annoyed her. You probably just classified it as a 'fear' but just making sure ;)
Icetundra: Yeah, despite lots of people liking the episode, they all seem to be disappointed with B's elimination which I guess shows how much you guys like him! As for getting far...he just isn't able to be part of a long-running plot so I just don't see a way for him to go very far without bumping out a main character who has much more potential in the season. I like B too but maybe his talents are better for a different story...Thanks for the support and as for other couples, I can't spoil anything but there'll probably be another new one arising in the later episodes, you never know.
Total Drama Fan: You're definitely a hard-core Drama fan if you know the ages of the cast and such XD I'm just gonna say for purposes for this story and what not that age doesn't matter. Let's just say since they're cartoons they don't age and they're all still 16-18-ish. XD
Thank you to all of the other reviewers who have given me good plot suggestions! You guys are awesome and everyone has really helped me hit 300 reviews!
Speaking of which, I've been getting a lot of guest reviewers lately and they all seem to be talking about the same subject and giving the same ideas which leads me to believe that this is the same person doing so. If I'm right, then I'd actually appreciate it if you stopped. I want to hear feedback, not raising the amount of reviews because someone keeps signing in as a different name. Please just review as one person, and give me your thoughts all at once. I know I have lots of guest reviewers and if you're a regular and post good sized reviews, this isn't talking about you. I'm talking about short three to ten word reviews about the same subject every single day.
Anyway, be sure to hit that fav/follow button so you know when the next update comes, because with my schedule, who knows! XD Also, be sure to leave a review and tell me what you thought about this chapter! And before I let you read (If you're not skipping this) I just wanted to remind you that it would be cool to launch a TV Tropes Page for this story, but I have no idea how the site or anything else works, so if someone with that knowledge could help out, that'd be great! You could start it on your own and tell me, or PM me the instructions to do so! Now with that said and done, let's get into this Ch-ch-chilly episode!
Chapter 20 (Day 15)- The Brave and the Cold
"Last time on Total Drama Unfinished Business!" Chris opened the episode on the usual shot of Pahkitew Island. "Our contestants had to face their fears...again. Harold conquered some ninjas in an epic battle while Jasmine showed her super strength, but failed to earn a point."
"Scarlett scared Max, and Max annoyed Scarlett." The host continued as footage of Scarlett ripping off the headphones and then promptly incinerating them was played followed by Max being forced to watch Scarlett reveal her true self over and over. "Cody helped Samey conquer her fear of snakes while Amy had no one to help her conquer her fear of Samey!" The fifty-foot tall Samey was shown chasing Amy in the VR.
"We've got lots of chilling new drama ready to unfold! So, grab a mug of hot chocolate, wrap yourself up in a warm blanket, and get ready for this week's episode of...Total...Drama...Unfinished Business!"
~Theme Song (I Wanna Be Famous)~
Owen groggily opened his eyes to a breakfast wonderland. Yes, a breakfast wonderland. He looked down and, as per usual with his dreams, he was butt-naked. The tubby lunchbox seemed to be comfortable in his own skin and skipped along happily. "Maple Syrup Mountain!" He exclaimed with awe, looking up at the towering mountain of pancakes with maple syrup flowing over it like waterfalls.
The syrup emptied out into a lake of the same substance with French Toast Sticks floating along like logs. Owen hopped from to the other and arrived at Maple Syrup Mountain, taking a huge bite out of the side. "Mhmm!" He chuckled with his mouth full of dough.
Owen looked up to see a sign pointing out the rest of Breakfast land. One arrow pointed to Bacon Valley. The camera panned to the side to show a large expansive valley made of bacon, heat rising and sizzling from the meat making it look like the breakfast equivalent of Death Valley.
Another arrow pointed to the Egg lands which was just a large pasture made of eggs. The last arrow pointed to the nearby Sausage Fields. "Sausage Fields! Oh boy!" Owen exclaimed through a mouthful of food. He quickly swam through the Maple Syrup river and frolicked through the Sausage Fields. "I feel so greasy!" He cheered happily. [1]
Suddenly, two floating waffles with faces can by him, both holding spears. "Halt! You cannot frolic here!" Shouted one of the waffles. Owen took one look at him and quickly ran up and took a bite out of the left corner of his head. "Aaah! Get off of me!" The waffle guard screamed. [2]
Owen would have indulged more, but a shiver was sent down his spine. "Ooh! Is it getting chilly in Breakfast land or is it just me?" Owen asked, rubbing his arms and trying to get warm. "Is there Ice Cream nearby?" He wondered with hope.
Owen suddenly awoke, sitting naked in a small snow pile. He looked around and saw that flakes of snow were falling from the sky, making big heaps on top of the cabins and the mess hall. "Guys! Guys! It's Christmas Morning!" Owen called out.
"What?"
"Huh?"
"Ow!" Came several cries from the cabins as the contestants suddenly awoke, some hitting their heads on the top bunks.
"Snow? But that's almost impossible for this show!" Harold exclaimed, running to the deck of the TDI cabin. "It hardly ever rains, much less snows. This must be the doings of Chris!"
"It's obvious that Chris is using the technology and circuitry of Pahkitew Island and the surrounding waters and sky to create a Winter Wonderland, obviously themed for today's challenge." Scarlett deduced. "Either that or something's gone wrong again."
"And if so, can we find a place to lock you up?" Jasmine narrowed her eyes at the brainiac as she hopped down from her tree. "Crikey, I can't believe I didn't notice the cold in my sleep!" She exclaimed, shivering.
"I would appreciate it if you did not remind me nor the others about the fiasco last season." Scarlett grit her teeth. "That is the past, so drop it. Besides, no one was actually killed." She rolled her eyes.
"Maybe, but that doesn't mean someone couldn't have been! If it wasn't for Sky and Sugar, I wouldn't be here!" She glared at her.
"Please, it's quite obvious that you're not rehabilitated, the jig is up." Harold accused the brainiac.
"Yes, obvious it is." Chris nodded, walking onto the scene. "You claim to be smart Scarlett, but did you really think our cameras wouldn't capture any of your plotting and lying behind the scenes? And the Outhouse Confessional? Of course we watch those!" He grinned with a chuckle. "Smarter than you're average host, huh?"
Scarlett face-palmed. "How could I have made such a miscalculation!?" She cursed. "But I haven't done anything, I haven't even been plotting!" She pleaded. "Sure I've lied but I haven't plotted to do anything."
"Yet." Sky rolled her eyes.
Scarlett scowled. "Fine, take me away then. I'll just return and kill you all in your sleep."
"Relax Ms. Psycho, you're not going anywhere unless these guys vote you out. However, if you decide to harm any of my property, you're done-zo." He warned her. "Got it?"
"Wait, so I can do harm to anyone or anything as long as it's not you or your property?" Scarlett asked.
"Correct-a-mundo." Chris nodded.
"Interesting." Scarlett grinned.
(Outhouse Confessional- Methinks Trouble is a brewing)
Sky- "That's it, if I don't die from this season, I'm done! Chris has no respect for us or even our lives!" She exclaimed. "As long as he's safe, Scarlett can basically kill us! Between that and Dave, I just want this season to be over!" She sighed, her face falling into her hands.
Scarlett- "It seems Chris has no problems in the way of harm to any of the other contestants." She tapped her chin. "While I will refrain from doing so now, I'm not ruling it out. The only downside is now they all fear me, which gives them a perfect reason to vote me out." She sighed. "Luckily I'm safe for at least one more elimination ceremony." She said, holding up her Chris idol.
"So, are we doing a challenge or something?" Duncan asked. "Because if so, can it be somewhere warmer?" He requested, hugging himself for warmth as he shivered in the cold.
"Oh suck it up." Courtney rolled her eyes. "I thought you were supposed to be Mr. Tough Guy punk." She said, also shivering.
"Being tough has nothing to do with body temperature!" Duncan argued.
"I agree with Courtney." Scott piped up, earning an eye roll from Courtney. The farm boy was left stunned and slightly angry.
"Yes, we are doing a challenge, and no, you will not be warm while doing so." Chris told them, the rest of the teens leaving their cabins. "In fact, many of you will likely be very cold!" This earned many groans and complaints from the contestants. "Follow me!"
Owen was about to follow behind Noah when he stopped him. "No way big buddy, put some clothes on first." He demanded. Owen gave a sheepish smile and scampered back to his cabin.
"For today's challenge, you'll be divided into two teams!" Chris told the group of contestants on the snowy beach with Owen running to join them while pulling up his pants. "And what are we doing you ask? Ice fishing!" He declared.
"Ice fishing? Seriously? You couldn't come up with anything better than that?" Noah raised an eyebrow. "I thought you liked death-defying challenges..."
"Either way, I am so ready for this!" Harold grinned, pumping a fist. "In Muskrat Boys they teach us to go fishing all the time! Last year they took us ice fishing in the winter and I caught seventeen fish." He said proudly.
"You won't be ice fishing exactly," Chris continued, "You see, your team will be up on a large platform in the middle of the now-frozen lake. Their job is to hold the giant fishing rod and lower a teammate into the frigid water! From there, they'll have to swim around and grab a fish."
"So giant Ice fishing?" Leshawna asked. "Dude, I can handle that easy peasy." She grinned confidently, cracking her knuckles.
"Not so fast!" Chris cut in. "When underwater, you're going to want to look around carefully because each fish gets you a different amount of points. Catch a lame minnow and you get one point. A bass will get you five points and a muskellunge will get you ten. If you want to go for big points, have fun trying to catch a shark or seal but they are both twenty points." He said. "And, if you can get yourself a killer whale, then you're golden! First team to either catch a whale somehow or win 100 points avoids the bonfire ceremony and earns themselves a hot-chocolate reward complete with warm blankets and a movie in the Mess Hall while the losers vote someone out."
The contestants looked wary, many of them with shocked wide eyes. "Okay, less easy." Leshawna gulped. "But I can tussle with a shark, I've done it on this show before." She said, jabbing a thumb at herself.
"Right mate, you just punch 'em in the nose." Jasmine smiled.
"Wait, are we gonna get wetsuits? Because as far as I can tell, that water is below freezing." Sky winced, pointing at the frozen lake.
Chris sighed in annoyance. "I was hoping one of you wouldn't bring that up." He muttered. "Yes, you will get wetsuits because legal insisted. However, you only get one so if it gets ripped or torn somehow, that's your problem."
"Okay, so what are the teams?" Courtney asked.
"I was getting to that!" Chris pipped up. "Team 1, you guys will be Team Chill. Team 2, you'll be dubbed Team Freeze." he said, trying to make them sound cool.
"You know naming the teams The or Team blank every time isn't very exciting." Noah commented.
"Speaking of which, when are we going to get our official teams? I'm tired of switching all the time." Scarlett said. "And I'm sure I'm not the only one."
"She has a point." Cody nodded, getting a few glares. "What? I'm not supporting her, I'm just agreeing with her statement. Sheesh."
"Alright! Team Chill, you guys will be Harold, Leshawna, Trent, Cody, Courtney, Bridgette, Gwen, Samey, Dakota, Izzy, Dawn, and Scarlett." Chris listed, ignoring Scarlett's previous statement.
"And Team Freeze, you guys will be Geoff, Noah, Scott,Max, Katie, Duncan, Eva, Sky, Amy, Owen, Dave, and Jasmine." He finished. "The challenge starts in ten, and you might want to get to your platforms fast because the last person on your team that gets to the platform has to dive first."
"Wait, aren't we gonna get snowmobiles to go out on the ice or something?" Harold asked. "It's the only logical way to go out on the ice without slipping. If you want us to get there fast that is."
"Eh, guess you're gonna have to walk all the way out there!" Chris chuckled, pointing to the two large platforms far out on the lake. "Try not to slip!"
"Whoa! Ah! Wah! Whoa!" Sky cried, struggling to stay stable on the ice. "I wish I had a pair of ice-skates! I could do this so much easier!" She said before falling over again. "Ow!"
"Tell me about it, being tall isn't so much fun when you fall." Jasmine griped, also falling over. "Crikey, that hurts!" She said, rubbing her sore bottom.
"You just...gotta...use the right...technique!" Harold explained, sliding by very slowly. He moved his legs back and forth frequently and only ended up going forward a few inches per second. He wasn't slipping though! "See?"
"I'm not sure that's going to get us very far..." Jasmine told him.
"I-I-It's s-so c-c-cold!" Gwen shivered, slowly walking by. "Wah!" She suddenly slipped but managed to catch herself before falling onto the hard ice.
"It's the Yukon all over again!" Cody cried, hugging himself for warmth. "Maybe we should...a, huddle together?" He suggested with a nervous chuckle. "You know, for warmth!" He quickly added.
"He's got the right idea!" Jasmine nodded.
"Oh! Just like penguins!" Samey smiled.
"Outta my way! Comin' through!" Izzy suddenly shouted. Everyone turned to see Owen barreling at them, sliding at full-speed across the ice. "All aboard the Owen Express!" She called out.
"WAAAH!" Owen screamed. "My belly is so cold!"
"Izzy! Where are the breaks on this train?!" Noah wondered, shouting over Owen's screams.
"What breaks?" Izzy asked. Soon Noah joined in the chorus of screams. The three flew past the other contestants with Eva running behind.
"Hey! Wait for me!" She shouted angrily.
Soon, Scarlett came skating past them. "Where did you get those?" Sky marveled at her bark skates.
"It was simple really," Scarlett acknowledged, "I just ripped the bark off of one of the pine trees surrounding the now-frozen beach and then tied them to my feet with my shoe-laces." She explained.
Jasmine snapped her fingers. "I should've thought of that." She cursed.
"I really must be going now. Wouldn't want to be the last one there." Scarlett cackled, skating away.
"Don't worry Bridge, just hang on and we'll be there in no time!" Geoff grinned, trying to slide forward while Bridgette held onto his shoulder so she didn't slip and fall.
"We gotta move! Everyone else is catching up!" Jasmine exclaimed trying to slide forward. Luckily, her boots had enough traction that they stopped a bit so she didn't fall over flat on her face.
The campers each found ways to try and move forward. Some took the slipping to their advantage and tried to ride the slide across the ice. Others hitched rides (aka the Owen Express) and some just kept walking.
By now, Leshawna, Trent, Izzy, Gwen, Courtney, Scarlett, Dawn and Dakota had reached Team 1's platform leaving Harold, Cody, Bridgette, and Samey still out on the ice.
"Come on figure skating lessons, don't fail me now!" Harold said to himself. With that, he shot forward and began gliding on the ice. Unfortunately, he couldn't stop since he had no traction whatsoever and crashed right into the pole that supported the platform and ladder up to said platform. "Aw-haw-haw!" Harold groaned, falling over.
"Harold baby! Are you okay?" Leshawna cried, peering over the platform above.
"Fear not my chocolate goddess, I shall recover...valiantly!" Harold squeaked, still laying in pain on the ground.
"Waugh! Oh! This is tricky!" Max whined, slipping and sliding all over the ice.
"Whoa!" Bridgette cried, also slipping and sliding.
"Relax babe! You just gotta tap into your wicked surfing balancing skills!" Geoff called down from the opposite team's platform.
"Dude! Quit helping the other team!" Duncan glared at him.
"She's my girl! I gotta help her!" Geoff protested. "Besides, it's not doing any harm. All I'm doing his helping her get to her platform so she doesn't have to dive first."
"Fine." Duncan rolled his eyes. "But remember, guy's alliance to the end." He whispered.
(Outhouse Confessional- It's back!)
Geoff- "Aw man! This can't go down like last time! I don't wanna have to vote her off again because of the same guy's alliance!" He sighed. "Man, Duncan's hardcore."
Duncan- "Sure I'm being hard on Geoff and his relationship, but he needs to get his head in the game." He shrugged. "Yeah, I'm still trying to get Courtney to talk to me again, but if it comes down to it, I like another million more than some whiny girl."
Duncan, Geoff, Eva, Noah, Owen, Sky and Amy were all at the platform for Team 2 with Max, Katie, Scott, and Dave all struggling to make it there in time. Jasmine was also cutting it close but had managed to get to the platform and was now climbing up the ladder.
"You can do it, Katie!" Sky encouraged. The BFFFL was nearing the platform with Scott on her tail and Dave a ways out.
"Might wanna hurry up, Shark Bait!" Duncan taunted Scott from above. "Or you'll be swimming with the fishes! Literally!"
(Outhouse Confessional- Shark Bait Moo-ha-ha!)
Scott- "Duncan's really grinding my nerves!" He grit his teeth. "He thinks just because he dated Courtney first means he gets first dibs and that he's better! Well guess what? I'm the one who recently broke up with her." He jabbed a thumb at himself proudly. "Wait, why am I proud of that?"
Dave- "Of course I tried to be last." He said knowingly. "That why, Sky would be underestimating me, but when I went in to dive, I'd come back up with a shark or a seal or something!" He said confidently. "She'll be jealous for sure."
"You guys might wanna get moving! I've sent a little . . . 'friend' as further incentive!" Chris warned the contestants.
"Huh?" Max wondered turning around. To his surprise, behind him was a hulking polar bear. It let out a deafening roar and took a swat at the evil scientist. "WAH!" He screamed after ducking. He ran as fast as he could, still slipping and flopping along with the polar bear hot on his tail.
"Max has reached the ladder!" Chris narrated.
"Back you vexatious beast!" Max commanded, weakly swatting at the bear from the safety of the ladder.
"And Scott and Katie are next to make it to the ladder!" Came an announcement from Chris through the loudspeakers standing on a pole on each platform. "Which is now polar bear free, I might add. I guess it only had eyes for Max! Anyway, that means Dave! You're jumping for Team Freeze!"
"Yes!" He silently pumped a fist. With that, he slipped and slid towards the ladder.
On the other side of the ice, Samey, Cody, and Bridgette were all racing to get to the ladder first but mostly ended up slipping and falling. Bridgette finally reached the ladder and started climbing.
"Bridgette has made it to the ladder!" Chris declared after Bridgette made it to the top of her platform, being welcomed by Leshawna and Gwen.
"It's up to Samey and Cody now! Which one of you will make it last?" Chris wondered.
"You can go first." Both of them said in accidental unison, followed by simultaneous laughter. "Sorry, I'll go first then."
"Okay, okay, you can go first." Cody grinned. Samey giggled a bit but went up to the ladder anyway, which was now polar bear free.
"Cody is the last one to the platform which means he and Dave will be the first divers for their respected teams!" Chris announced over the intercom.
"This is gonna get chilly." Cody sighed with a smile. He couldn't help smiling when he looked at Samey, even when he knew he was about to plunge into freezing water stocked with sharks and other nasty fish.
"Hurry up, man! Dave's already getting his wetsuit on!" Trent called down, prompting Cody to climb faster.
When he reached the top, there was a comedicly large fishing pole sitting on a fulcrum with a wetsuit sitting nearby. The line was reeled in with a hook to attach to the jumper's ankle.
"Well this is certainly gonna be...interesting?" Cody raised an eyebrow.
"Just get your wetsuit on already!" Scarlett snapped."I– I mean we can't afford to lose this challenge!"
Cody grabbed the black and blue wetsuit and climbed into it. "Wait, shouldn't there be a snorkel or an oxygen tank or something?" He asked, wriggling his feet into the flippers.
"Nope! All ya get is this nifty pair of goggles so your eyes don't freeze into ice cubes." Chris said as Chef suddenly launched a pair of goggles at both platforms from what looked like a t-shirt launcher.
The pair of goggles nailed Cody in the face causing him to cry out in pain. "Ow!" He yelped, rubbing his sore cheek. He picked up the pair of goggles from the floor and put them on. "How do I look?" He asked, waddling around to face Samey.
"Like a nerdy penguin!" She giggled. "'Cause, you know, the goggles look like glasses."
"Oh..." Cody said with noticeably less enthusiasm.
"Oh, but I love penguins!" Samey smiled. "Nerdy or otherwise. They're always so happy!" This caused Cody's smile to brighten up.
"I'm going in!" He said, bringing a fist to his chest in what was supposed to be a heroic manner but just looked rather nerdy. The self-proclaimed ladies man attached the fishing line and hook to his ankle and waddled up to the edge of the platform.
Down below was a medium-sized hole cut into the ice, revealing the dark blue, freezing water underneath. It wasn't very wide but looked just big enough for someone to fit through comfortably if they landed correctly.
"Tip: your teammates might want to steady the fishing pole when you dive otherwise that baby's gonna take a dive right after you!" Chris warned from the intercom.
"How handy that the other team has all the strong people." Gwen muttered.
"Don't worry girl, lil' Leshawna will show you how it's done." The African-Canadian teen grinned, cracking her knuckles. "We all just gotta hold on tight."
"Yeah, and thanks to the laws of physics, if we just keep all of our weight on this one side of the pole, we can keep it down." Harold added.
"Let's not forget that we're only holding up Cody, so we don't need to strain too hard." Courtney reminded them. "It's not like he weighs as much as Owen."
"Fair point, fair point." Harold nodded.
The team held up the pole which was a bit heavier than expected by thanks to the fulcrum to keep it in place it wasn't too difficult.
Meanwhile, under the ice, Cody was swimming about in search for any kind of fish. So far all he could see was black, black, dark blue, and the dark underside of ice.
Suddenly, he turned around in the icy-cold water and was met with a face-full of fish. Cody reached up and managed to grab the large-mouth bass before it tried to swim away. Despite it's tough wriggling, Cody got it tucked under his arm and with his other hand, he tugged on the line.
Back up on the platform, Dakota noticed that the line was bouncing up and down and back and forth. "Um...is the line supposed to be moving like that?" Dakota asked, jabbing a thumb at the dancing fishing line.
"Cody is requesting to come back up!" Dawn suddenly understood. "Either he has something or he needs air!" She gasped.
Courtney looked back and saw a reel above her head. "Hold on, I got it! Just keep holding up the pole!" She instructed. She let go of the fishing pole and began to crank the reel. It started out slow but then got a bit faster and smoother.
There was a splash as Cody resurfaced with the line carrying him up. "I got a—whoa!" He cried as the fish in his hands wriggled some more now that it didn't have water. "I got a bass!"
When Cody was finally reeled up onto the platform, he tossed the bass into a large metal box filled with water. "And Team Chill gets five points!" Chris called out from the intercom.
"Wait, so if we get the set amount of points per specific fish once it is in the aquarium, how are we supposed to get our points if we pull up a shark or a seal? That box is hardly big enough." Scarlett pointed out.
"Yeah, with those nasty beasts, all ya gotta do is get it on top of your platform and you'll get the points. Then you can just toss it back or something. I don't care, it doesn't really matter to me." Chris answered.
Scarlett shrugged. "Seems simple enough. We've just gotta be able to get a seal or something up here." She said.
"Ooh! Ooh! Izzy knows how to wrangle them real good!" The red-head cackled.
"That's...nice Izzy. Save your eagerness for when you get down into the water, though." Courtney advised.
Over on Team Freeze's platform, Dave had put on the wetsuit and had just finished securing the goggles to his head while Duncan hooked the hook to his ankle.
"Now go out there and get us a shark or something!" Duncan encouraged him when he was finished.
"I will get us a shark! Hear that Sky? I'm gonna get a shark! Then you'll finally see how dangerous I am!" Dave bragged.
Sky winced and tried to hide her face. "Just tune him out. Besides, it's not like someone as wimpy as he is is gonna get a shark." Jasmine chuckled.
"I just wish he'd stop trying to show me up or prove he's 'the man'." Sky sighed. "Not only is it embarrassing but it keeps bringing me back to last season! And I don't want to make the same mistake! I think it's just better if he's out of my game for good."
"Then we vote him off." Jasmine decided as Dave left the platform and plunged into the icy water below.
"Wait, what?" Sky seemed slightly shocked. "I...I don't know. I'm really conflicted!" She sighed again. "I still kind of like him but then he's being kind of a jerk and I'm trying to focus on the game and he won't listen to me and..."
"Look Sky." Jasmine said, grabbing her shoulders and staring her in the eyes. "You need to make a decision. Either you send him home, or you need to mend this."
"What do you mean?" Sky asked, looking confused.
"I mean, you either decide to vote him off, forget about him, and focus on the game, or you talk to him and make him listen to you." Jasmine clarified.
"Okay..." Sky said, clearly in the midst of thinking.
"Yo, if you two ladies are done chatting, it would be very helpful if you actually helped the team!" Noah called out. Jasmine and Sky looked up to see them struggling to hold up the pole.
"Oh come on, Dave can;t be that heavy! He's as scrawny as a dingo who hasn't been fed!" Jasmine chuckled, walking over to help.
"Yeah, well my guess is he actually did manage to catch himself something big." Noah deduced. "So help!" Jasmine went to the end of the pole held it down with both hands.
"There, not too hard." She smiled confidently.
Down underwater, Dave was wrestling a shark. Yes, he actually had managed to find one like he said he would. The freshwater man-eating shark bared it's death and Dave let out a gurgled scream, quickly closing his mouth so he didn't lose his precious air. The shark bit down but only got a mouthful of rope, which just went in between the teeth. The shark turned around angrily only for Dave to punch it in the nose.
However, his punch was rather wimpy and merely left a bruise on the shark's nose rather than scaring it off. The shark growled and tried to bite at him but Dave swam out of the way just in time.
Then something came to his attention. Something more important. Oxygen. Dave's cheeks puffed as he tugged on the rope for help, not only because he needed air but because the shark was charging at him. As it neared closer he began to pull even more frantically.
"Dude, I think the guy needs help." Geoff pointed to the bouncing and thrashing line.
"Pull him up!" Duncan exclaimed. Geoff ran to the crank and began to reel him in.
"Whoa dude, he must have caught something heavy!" Geoff exclaimed. "Even I'm having trouble moving this thing!" Eventually Dave was pulled up, or rather a shark was pulled up, its teeth clamped down on the rope. "HELP!" Dave screamed from inside the shark's belly. "It's disgusting and germy in here and-"
"Wait, did we get the points?" Jasmine asked.
"Yup! Twenty points for Gryffindor—Er, Team Freeze!" Chris called out.
"Alright then!" Jasmine grinned, cracking her knuckles. She walked over to the shark and wrenched open its jaws. She then gave a swift kick to the fish's belly causing it to hack up Dave in a pile of saliva and stomach juices. With that, Jasmine grabbed the shark by the tail and hurled it over the side of the platform and back into the water.
"So... slimy...and...germy." Dave shuddered. "I mean...that'll teach you to mess with me again you piece of overgrown sushi!" Dave corrected himself, shaking a fist at the shark.
"Um, correction, I'm the one who saved you from the shark." Jasmine reminded him with a bit of a stern glare.
"Uh...right." He smiled sheepishly.
"Awesome work, dude!" Geoff grinned, giving him a high-five. "You scored us twenty points! We're so ahead of the other team!"
"So who's up next?" Duncan asked.
"I'll do it." Jasmine volunteered.
"Um...not questioning your skills or anything, but wouldn't you be more helpful up here holding up the pole?" Noah asked. "And instead we throw someone lighter down there?"
"Good point." Jasmine nodded. "But I'm still going down there at some point! I want to wrestle me my own shark!" She said, making a few punching movements.
"Whatever floats your dead shark." Noah rolled his eyes, walking off.
"Someone lighter, eh?" Duncan raised an eyebrow, stroking his chin. "How about...Katie." He decided.
"Huh?" The girl looked shocked.
(Outhouse Confessional- She'll be eaten alive! Oh the horror!)
Duncan- "The reason I called out Katie is because, believe it or not, she's sort of a threat. Not to mention she's easy to kick off. Not only is she already mentally and physically weak from losing Sadie or whatever, but she's also an extra vote for any alliance the girls might be having." He said. "And I am not letting that happen. Sure it would be smart to take out the big guns first like Jasmine, but right now it's still a team game and she might come in handy. Not to mention I want my alliance to lay low so we're not targeted." He said. "So, it's a win-win! She catches something? We get points. She doesn't? There's a reason to vote her off." He grinned.
"Why me?" Katie asked.
"Because you're probably the lightest one here!" Duncan said. "It won't be a strain for us to lower you down. Besides, I'm sure you can manage to catch something."
Katie didn't look so sure. "Just take out all your anger about Sadie being voted off on a shark or seal or something." Jasmine suggested. "Those animals don't know what you're going through! You don't deserve to get attacked by them!" She coached.
"Yeah...you're right!" Katie agreed. "Losing Sadie is horrible! I'm not gonna let those stupid sharks ruin me even further!" She clenched her fists.
"Good! Now channel your anger into getting one of those critters up here!" Jasmine encouraged.
Katie let out a cheer and put on her wetsuit and goggles. She attached the hook to her ankle and just like that, she was in the water. "Pssh," Amy scoffed, "She's just being a big baby." She rolled her eyes.
(Outhouse Confessional- A Katie Kabob?)
Amy- "It's Sadie's own fault that she got kicked off. If she had just kept following my rules and doing what I said, she wouldn't have been kicked off." She said. "And now Katie's being a total baby about it. If she knows what's good for her, she'll get back to doing what I say." She growled.
Katie plunged into the fishing hole below and immediately felt chills down her back. Despite the wetsuit, it was still very cold under the water. Katie looked around, determined to make Jasmine proud by catching something worthwhile.
To her right was a school of bass swimming about. On her left was a walrus. Katie wanted to go for the Walrus but was smart enough to realize those tusks were dangerous and she couldn't capture it.
The bass on the other hand were small, and were swimming right there. Katie knew she could get one. She swam over and threw her hands out to catch one but missed completely as the fish swatted her with its fins and quickly swam away.
"Ah!" Katie cried. A mouthful of water reminded her that she didn't have a supply of oxygen on hand. She slapped a hand over her mouth and frantically tugged on the line.
"She's got something!" Jasmine exclaimed hopefully.
"I got it, I got it." Scott said, already figuring someone was going to make him do it. The dirt farmer cranked the reel and began pulling up the girl quite easily.
Katie gasped for air when she reached the surface. When Scott saw that she was empty-handed he scoffed. "Looks like she didn't catch anything." He muttered, finishing the retrieval.
"Sorry guys...I kinda ran out of air." She admitted.
"Well, better luck next time I guess." Jasmine shrugged, slugging Katie in the shoulder playfully. The sweet girl winced at the unintended painful punch and rubbed her sore spot. "We're still up fifteen points, anyway. It looks like the other team isn't coming along too well."
The camera panned over to Team Chill's platform where Bridgette came up with another bass. "Man, I'm a pretty fast swimmer but those seals are really speedy!" Bridgette exclaimed, carefully placing the bass in the aquarium.
"Do not worry friend, you did your best." Dawn said happily. "And you did score us another five points! Now we're up to ten!"
"Yeah...but that's only half of what they have," Gwen reminded her, jabbing a thumb at the other team's platform, "I saw them bring up a shark."
"Oh my!' Dawn gasped.
"That would put them at a current total of twenty points." Scarlett interrupted. "We would need to catch a muskellunge to even tie with them right now."
"Girl, leave it to lil' Leshawna." The ghetto girl grinned, shoving the brainiac out of the way. "One'a my cousins knows how to put the beat-down on any fish!"
"Please, try not to hurt it though." Dawn requested.
"I ain't makin' no promises but I'll try." Leshawna shrugged, strapping into her wetsuit.
"You look gorgeous, my chocolate goddess!" Harold gushed. "You look like a real Super Aqua Chick!"
"Thanks Harold baby, but this Aqua Chick ain't gonna be friendly with none'a them fishes!" Leshawna got a determined grin on her face as she attached the hook to her ankle and took a dive over the side of the platform.
"Oh dear, I do hope she doesn't harm anything!" Dawn bit her lip.
"True, we might still need the animal to be alive to get the point." Courtney nodded in agreement, earning another gasp from Dawn. Gwen gave her a dirty look.
(Outhouse Confessional- So no sushi then?)
Courtney- "What? I was just trying to make sure our team wouldn't be cheated out of a point!" She exclaimed. "I wasn't trying to be insensitive."
Gwen- "Things between Courtney and me are still...on the fence I guess you could say." she admitted. "I think she really has changed but she's still...Courtney. I suppose tricking her into eliminating herself back in All-Stars probably wasn't the best way to teach her a lesson..."
Moments later, the line started bouncing around and Courtney quickly rushed to the reel and began dragging Leshawna in. "That was oddly fast..." She said suspiciously.
"Like, how much does she weigh!" Dakota exclaimed, struggling to keep hold of the pole.
"What was that, sugar?" Leshawna asked, not seeming the slightest bit insulted as she was pulled out. Under her arm was the longest muskellunge anyone had ever seen.
"Whoa! Nice catch!" Gwen exclaimed with a grin as Leshawna went to put it in the aquarium.
Suddenly, the fish began flipping and flopping in Leshawna's arms as a last-ditch effort to escape. Its tail fin slapped her across the face, stunning her for a second. "Come on then fishy!" Leshawna taunted the fish as she wrestled with it in her hands.
After another slap to the face from the muskellunge Leshawna stumbled back . . . right into Gwen. "AAAAH!" Gwen cried as she fell back off the edge of the platform.
"GWEN!" Bridgette, Dawn, and Trent all cried at once, everyone peering over the side of the platform. The Goth girl fell back with a terrified scream, hitting the ice with a crack. Her leg ran down the edge of the ice, scratching it badly. She hit her butt on the edge as well before ending in the drink.
"I'm coming Gwen!" Trent called down. He ran over to Leshawna who had the wetsuit in her hands and grabbed it. The musician then strapped it on and attached the hook to his ankle in a matter of seconds before jumping off the platform after who he hoped was his girlfriend.
"Dang fish! I oughtta cook you up and eat you!" Leshawna glared at the muskellunge, which was now in the aquarium.
"Oh my! Please don't!" Dawn pleaded. "I'm sure it was only acting in self-defense! It didn't want to slap you across the face and accidentally knock Gwen off the platform!"
Leshawna scoffed. "Sure, I bet." She rolled her eyes. "'Fish is just lucky we need him alive to earn the point." She muttered.
Under the water, Gwen had been knocked unconscious by hitting her head on the ice when she fell and was now sinking to the ocean floor. Trent looked around and spotted her sinking further. He swam over and held her in his arm and began swimming to the surface, tugging the rope as he did so.
Soon the two had surfaced and Gwen instantly began coughing up water. "Gah! My leg!" Gwen cried, holding her bleeding limb as Trent dragged her onto a secure piece of ice.
"Whoa! You cut yourself really badly on the ice!" Trent exclaimed, referring to the long gash running down her leg.
"Yeah, I also messed up my back pretty badly." Gwen winced from the pain.
"You okay, girl?" Leshawna called down from the platform.
"Not really!" Gwen glared at her friend. "And it doesn't help that you pushed me off!"
"Girl, you know that was an accident!" Leshawna reassured her. "It was the dang fish! It slapped me across the face and I accidentally backed into you!"
Gwen winced again as Trent pulled off the wetsuit as well as his shirt and wrapped it around Gwen's leg to try and stop the bleeding. By now most of the ice around them was stained red with blood. "That still doesn't make up for it!"
"I'm not really good with all that medical stuff so I can't help you there but trust me girl, I will make it up to you some how." Leshawna promised her.
"Yeah well could you start by calling in medical?" Gwen asked irritably.
A flash transitioned the scene to an intern bandaging Gwen's leg. "It should be-"
"Hey! Hey! No talking!" Chris suddenly shouted from the intercom. "You're an intern! I don't care if you're standing in for medical, I'm not paying you to talk!"
"Um, I'm pretty sure you don't pay them at all..." Trent raised his eyebrow.
"Whatever." Chris said, probably rolling his eyes on the other side of the loudspeaker. "On with the challenge!"
"But what about Gwen?" Trent asked angrily.
"She's not that injured. Just don't make her dive." He said simply. "Problem solved."
Trent glared up at the loudspeaker and then sighed. "Fine. Come on Gwen, I've got you." He then smiled to the injured Goth. "Hey Leshawna, mind pulling us up? Trent asked.
"Thanks Trent." Gwen blushed slightly as Trent held her while Leshawna pulled them back to the top of the platform.
"No problem." The musician grinned coolly.
Leshawna cringed at the sight of red under the bandage on Gwen's leg. "I really am sorry, girl." Leshawna apologized again. "That looks really bad!"
Gwen sighed. "Hey, it's okay. I know you didn't do it on purpose." She said. "But I can't really walk right now." She grunted, trying to hop on one foot over to a bench at the back of the platform where Cody was recovering from his icy dive with Samey at his side.
"Here, let me help you." Leshawna said, grabbing Gwen's arm.
"Gah!" Gwen cried upon hearing an audible crack.
"Man! That fall really messed you up!" Leshawna exclaimed. Trent rushed over to help again and the two half carried-half helped her stumble over to the bench.
"Oh my gosh Gwen, are you okay!" Samey flinched, turning around to meet the injured Goth, cutting her conversation with Cody a bit short.
"I'll be fine but I'm not gonna be much use this challenge." She admitted.
"That's okay, maybe we'll catch something big and win the whole thing!" Samey said encouragingly. "And neither of us will have to dive at all!"
"Well I can say for certain that I will not be diving, but keep telling yourself that and maybe you won't have to either." Gwen shrugged.
"The teams are tied up and twenty points each! Someone better make a move!" Chris interrupted over the loudspeaker.
The camera panned over to Team Freeze who were trying to decide who to send down next. "I think it should be another light person." Duncan suggested. "So we don't have to strain ourselves.
"Oh please, Mr. Punk doesn't wanna strain himself?" Scott rolled his eyes. "Did ya hear that Courtney? Duncan's too weak to hold up anyone heavier than Katie!" He called out to the other platform, although he didn't get a response.
"Shut up man!" Duncan glared at the farm boy. "I'm just trying to conserve our energy in case one of us catches a whale or something! We want to be able to reel it in!"
"Blah blah blah, all I hear is the voice of someone who's weak." Scott sneered, mocking Duncan with his hand.
"Fine then, why don't you go down there and catch us something if you're mister tough and manly?" Duncan grinned sinisterly.
Scott gulped. "Uh...come on now, everyone knows I'm not great with underwater critters." He reminded him, tugging on his tank top as beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. "I didn't claim to be!"
"But you're calling me weak?" Duncan raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, because you're the one always claiming to be tough and manly!" Scott accused. "So why don't you jump!"
"No you jump!" Duncan snapped back.
"No way, you're jumping!"
"No, you're jumping!"
"There's no way I'm going down there, you are jumping!" Scott said with a huff.
"Fine I'll jump." Duncan shrugged.
Scott immediately whipped around and eyed him. "No! I'm jumping!" He declared.
"No, I'm gonna jump!"
"No way! I'm jumping in and that is final!" Scott ended the argument. "Stamped it no erasies." He finished with a smug grin.
"If you say so man." Duncan shrugged with a knowing grin.
"Wait-wait-wait a second!" Scott exclaimed as realization suddenly struck him upside the head. "No fair! You used reverse psychology!"
"All's fair in hate and war." Duncan shrugged, not caring. "Now get on the wetsuit and jump."
"No way! I'm not going into shark infested waters! I always end up getting mauled!" Scott cried.
"Not my problem, you're the one who called it. Remember? You stamped it, no erasies." He reminded him.
Scott let out a frustrated cry and strapped on the wetsuit while muttering several things under his breath that I cannot write due to censoring and ratings of this story.
"Here, let me help you with that." Duncan came up behind him and attached the hook to Scott's ankle, quickly shoving him off once he knew it was secure.. Now it was the punk's turn to wear the smug grin.
Scott gave off a terrified and nasally scream that might be compared to a siren wailing through a grouping of slowly dying cows.
"Ahh, the sweet sounds of a recently plucked sucker." Duncan sighed contently.
Meanwhile several leagues underwater and slowly running out of precious oxygen, Scott was currently running for his life. To be more precise, he was swimming as fast possible with a voracious, freshwater man-eating shark on his tail, but you get the picture.
He wondered why this always happened to him, why the dangerous ocean predators always went after him and continually tortured him. He'd given the tooth back to Fang for crying out loud! It just wasn't fair and it felt like some kind of omnipotent, cosmic force was getting back at him for every last nasty thing he had ever done in his life.
"GAH! Get away from me! Get away from me! Go eat some fish or something!" Scott cried as he surfaced the water with plenty of chaotic splashing. "I taste horrible! I'm really chewy! I'll give you indigestion! Please don't eat me!" He screamed before sinking back under the water.
The dirt farmer risked a glance back to see if by some miracle that the shark had listened to his pleas. Of course, the Great Goddess of Karma was not feeling particularly kind at the moment and had continued to send the hungry shark in pursuit of her latest victim; if it was any consolation, Scott got a wonderful view of all seven rows of razor-sharp teeth that decorated the shark's mouth, all of which were coming right at him all too fast for his liking.
Scott only kicked his legs faster. How can this day get any worse!? he thought to himself. He soon got an answer when he whirled back around and came face-to-fang with yet another hungry shark that was looking to take a bite out of whatever would remain of him if he didn't get away in time. He was frantically looking around for a way to escape and with little other choice kicked his legs into overdrive and shot straight up through the water as quickly as possible.
The sound of crunching cartilage caught his attention and Scott glanced down in the nick of time to see the two sharks collided head on like a pair of runaway trains. He was mentally cheering for his good luck and just about ready to do a victory dance in triumph when he suddenly collided something that felt close to a sack of pudding wrapped up in a leather covering.
It took Scott several seconds to realize that it was not a sack of pudding wrapped up in a leather covering that he had run into, but a big, blubbery, and now severely annoyed walrus with tremendous tusks that looked like that could stab right through him with one thrust of the hot-tempered animal's head.
Naturally, Scott decided to cut out the middle man of swimming and screaming and wasting precious oxygen and opted to instead tug on the line tied to his foot in an attempt to escape unscathed.
Up on the surface, Geoff was currently thumb wrestling with Jasmine to pass the time and was losing very badly under the Australian's quick reflexes and Amazonian strength, something that drew snickers from Duncan and a cold, icy glare from Eva in the Punk's direction.
"Hah! You're good!" Geoff grunted as he strained against Jasmine's thumb.
The outback Survivalist was barely even trying but nonetheless threw her opponent a friendly grin. Geoff may be a tad dimwitted compared to some of the other contestants, but his sense of humor and carefree, excepting personality was something that drew Jasmine to him. He was definitely someone she wouldn't mind hanging out with outside of the game. "Back atcha, mate! You're as fierce as a Devil!"
"Is that good?" Geoff wondered.
Jasmine chuckled. "Where I come from, Tasmanian Devils'll sooner commit suicide than give up their share of a carcass."
"Gross . . . but cool!" Geoff grinned.
"Hate to break up the tea party here ladies, but somethin' tells me Dirt Boy's got something worthwhile!" Duncan announced loudly as the line was jerked and pulled upon in an almost frantic manner. "C'mon, Dirt Boy, bring me a shark! A big, ol', hungry shark for papa!"
Little time was wasted as Duncan, Jasmine, Eva, Sky, and even Owen's strength was put into holding onto the massive fishing rod to prevent it from snapping in two as the rest of the contestants were put to good use in reeling in their latest catch. "Come on! We're falling behind!" Sky cried.
"So . . . heavy . . ." Amy grunted as she was forced to turn the crank. "Stop . . . talking!"
"Less whining, more turning!" Jasmine snapped, narrowing her eyes venomously at the cheerleader. If there was one thing that ground her nerves more than Chris and his life-destroying ways, it was Amy whining and complaining every chance she got.
Dave gasped. "So . . . tired! Too . . . weak!"
"Then take a break, man!" Geoff grunted as he managed to turn the reel again. "No need for anymore casualties!"
"What the heck man, there'd have to be someone dead for there to be a casualty." Dave raised an eyebrow, pausing for a second.
"Actually, casualties refer to injured, dead, or missing. In this case, Gwen got pretty banged up at the other team's platform so I'd say it's not too late to join her." Noah corrected.
That little thought, the threat of looking pathetic and weak once more in front of his unrequited love and his arch nemesis (which were somehow the same person), was all Dave needed as he put whatever energy he had left into turning the crank. With a loud scream of anger, he viciously turned the reel as hard and as fast as possible, his mind nothing but a blank slate and his arms nothing but a blur as sweat poured down his forehead; the threat of losing a vital limb was so great that the rest of the contestants decided it was best to back off and let Dave get whatever on his mind out of his system
Fortunately, this happened to work rather favorable for them.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Scott wailed as he and the walrus went flying through the air at the mercy of Dave's temper while they held onto one another for comfort. Once the two of them reached the climax of their ascent they quickly began to fall back to earth, Scott once again putting his lungs to good use and screaming as loudly as possible before he and the walrus crash-landed onto the platform with a loud bang!
Dave promptly fainted on the spot from exhaustion and was dragged off by a sympathetic Katie.
(Outhouse Confessional – Are we sympathetic to Dave's sacrifice? Eh . . .)
Sky - "There he goes again, trying to impress me and completely wiping himself out!" She threw her hands up in annoyance. "What does he not get about the fact that I don't want anything to do with him in the game?" She sighed. "I mean, I guess it doesn't help that I ignored all of his contact requests after last season but . . . I guess I was just mad okay?"
"Owww . . ." Scott groaned. "What kind of big, fat oaf hit me?" he moaned before he felt a hot puff of breath on his face. His vision, still fuzzy from the sudden collision, now cleared up enough that Scott could see that a very heavy and very annoyed walrus was currently sitting on top of and pinning him to the platform with its tremendous weight; any attempt to struggle made it feel like an elephant was sitting on his chest and his oxygen supply was quickly starting to dwindle.
Scott naturally knew what to do.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Scott screamed loudly as the walrus bellowed and decided that the scrawny, yelling thing stuck underneath it needed to learn some manners. The animal thrust its head down in an attempt to impale Scott with its ivory tusks, only just missing him as the dirt farmer jerked his head to the side at the last second. The walrus roared again and lunged its head downward a second time at Scott's skull, missing again as he jerked his head to the side once more.
"Help me!" Scott pleaded, just narrowly dodging another attempt by the walrus. "Haven't I suffered enough!?"
Noah gave him a dull stare. "I don't know, have you? I've kinda just been blocking you out up until now and I gotta say, I really wish I'd started to pay attention to you some more; you definitely know how to make things more interesting around here." he gave a sarcastic quip.
"Stop making cynical jokes and help him!" Sky grunted as she planted her hands against the walrus' blubbery side and gave an almighty push that yielded no result. "That's no way to treat a teammate!"
"Yeah, but it's okay when you do it to Dave. Huh, I see." Noah rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Sky gave a frustrated growl. "Just help us help him!" She shouted.
Jasmine rubbed her chin in thought. "That's not gonna be easy, mate. Last I checked these buggers weighed somethin' around two-thousand kilos, four-thousand-four-hundred pounds for all Americans watchin'." she hummed.
"Maybe we could lure it away with something to eat?" Owen suggested.
"Is food all you ever think about?" Noah raised an eyebrow. "Wait, don't answer that. I already know the answer."
Owen, regardless, answered anyway. "Not all the time! I sometimes think about Izzy dressed in a bikini made of cheese . . . mhmm, cheese." he giggled and rubbed his rotund belly at the thought.
"Please tell me you don't eat the cheese." Noah sighed.
"How'd you know?" Owen gasped with amazement.
Scott grunted loudly, returning the attention back towards him. "HELLO!? Trying not to die here!"
"Hold up," Duncan cut off any attempt to help the dirt farmer with a harsh, pierced unibrow glare and the usual frown he was renown for. "Do we still get the point for yanking Dirt Boy up?" he asked.
"Quit calling me that!"
The intercom squealed loudly and made all but the walrus, who was too focused on turning Scott into a shish-kabob, cringe in pain as Chris responded in his usual, snarky voice. "The judges say that Scott's hilarious sacrifice that we managed to catch all on film for the world to see was not in vain! Team Freeze earns twenty points, making their current score a rousing forty!" Chris announced. "That means Team Chill has fallen behind! Get the glaciers out of your pants, guys! The world's watchin' you suffer!"
"Yeah, and their all suffering with us at the sound of your voice." Noah quipped.
"I wonder if I'll get the same satisfaction I got shoving you out of the plane over London when I kick you off the island with the Boot of Shame?" Chris wondered.
"Is that supposed to be a threat?" Noah raised an eyebrow. "Because trust me when I say I've heard worse threats coming from the primordial soup beneath my older brother's bed."
"Dude, you're arguing with a loudspeaker." Geoff pointed out. "That just looks wrong."
"Oh, and gluing your cowboy hat to your head is right?" Noah shot back.
Scott gave another scream. "What is with you guys ignoring me when I'm clearly about to die!? Save me!" he snapped loudly, narrowly dodging another attempt from the walrus. The animal was now at its wits end and decided that the easiest way to get its point across was by drawing back its head and giving one last, almighty blow of its head as its tusks sunk deep into the frost-encrusted wood of the platform, pinning Scott's neck between its ivory sabers with less than an inch away from his throat. "AAAAAAGH!"
"You heard the loudspeaker! The tub of lard counts!" Duncan grinned.
"I'm not that fat! I only weigh 296!" Owen protested.
"Not you tub of lard, him tub of lard!" Duncan jerked a thumb at the perturbed and now highly insulted walrus. The animal seemed like it was willing to consider its vendetta with Scott water under the bridge and advance upon Duncan and made a move to try and converge on the Punk. The team and the walrus were met with a low groan and crack as large crack split itself through the wood right at the weak points created by the heavy thrusts of the walrus' tusks.
"Um, guys?" Katie gulped nervously. "I think we-"
"Pipe down and help me get Dirt Boy out from under this thing!We're wasting time!" Duncan barked as he pushed his shoulder into the animal's side.
Katie glanced nervously as the platform splintered and allowed more cracks to form. "But I think we should-"
"Katie, I'm sure whatever you're trying to say is important, but right now we need to focus on getting Scott out of there and someone else back into the water." Sky grunted as she tugged on one of the walrus's flippers. Wood groaned and the platform shuddered in response.
Scott gulped anxiously as he watched a thick crack run its way around him and the walrus, cutting their section of the platform off from the rest with a loud, sinister cracking. "Guys, maybe you should-"
"Stop whining! We're working on it!" Duncan growled as he tried to move the walrus. "Why won't this stupid thing move!"
"Because it's stuck you idiot, that's why." Eva frowned heavily, jerking a thumb at Scott's head where the walrus' tusks were embedded in the wood.
Duncan only had time to tiredly pinch his unibrowed brow before the wooden platform gave a final crack and shudder as the slab of wood placed underneath the walrus and Scott finally gave way and dropped the two of them plunging downward through the air.
"Not agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain!" Scott wailed as he plummeted through the air towards the icy, cold water below. Before he could enter the watery world of his nightmares once more however, there was a sharp tug on the line around his ankle and he was yanked back up through the air, popping free of the walrus' heavy girth and soaring up through the air.
The walrus went plunging back down towards the water, the piece of wood still stuck firmly to its tusks shattered by the ice as it landed back in the water with a tremendous splash! The animal resurfaced moments later and glared irritably up at Scott as he dangled several feet above the water just out of reach of the walrus' tusks.
The dirt farmer decided to do the most mature thing he could think of and rub his small victory in the marine mammal's face. "Hah! Take that, you stupid sea potato!"
At the thought of being called a sea potato, the walrus retaliated with the best it could come up with and promptly spat a concentrated stream of water at Scott's face, successfully getting him to swallow several mouthfuls before the jet of water finally stopped. "I probably deserved that."
"You're gonna deserve a lot more if you don't back up here!" Duncan threatened from above.
Scott grumbled under his breath and mentally began to calculate if he could get away with shoving Duncan off the platform to his death by the very hard ice below as he pulled himself back up the rope.
"So who's going down next?" Duncan asked after a flash of transition. "Anyone?"
"How about you!" Scott, who was now back atop the platform, narrowed his eyes. "I almost died so now it's your turn!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, you earned us another twenty points didn't you?" Duncan eased the angry dirt farmer. "Besides, I'm kind of the unofficial leader right now." He said.
"Is that so?" Jasmine raised an eyebrow.
"Leader? I don't think we need a leader." Sky shook her head. "We can all just work together and beat the other team."
"Don't tell me we're gonna win thanks to our 'friendship' or whatever, and then freeze-frame into some cheesy, high-five, mega-happy ending ." Noah muttered, rolling his eyes.
"Well with an attitude like that we certainly won't win." Jasmine scolded the cynic. "Sky's right, a leader isn't necess'ry."
"Why does Sky always get to be right?!" Dave pouted. "She's always right! Just like how she's not at fault for not telling me she had a boyfriend!" Dave screeched, his left eye twitching.
"You didn't give me a chance!" Sky protested angrily.
"Whoa dudes, chill out!" Geoff said, getting between the arguing exes. "Ha-ha, pun not intended." He chuckled lightly.
"Oh, so now the talking party animal is going to preach to us?" Max raised an annoyed eyebrow. "I for one, refuse to listen to someone who wears such an annoying head accessory."
"Oh, like your hideously ugly purple hair is better?" Amy asked him, her arms crossed. "Newsflash, it's not." As the team argued continually, Katie just cowered in the corner, quietly sobbing about missing Sadie.
"QUIET!" Owen suddenly shouted over the roar of the complaining contestants. Everyone stopped talking and turned to the chubby teen who was now wearing a necklace made of shark teeth, as well as a headdress made of antlers. He also held a spear made from a stick with an arrowhead tied to the end.
"Whoa...what's with the weird getup?" Noah asked. "And where did you get those antlers?"
"Did you rip those teeth out of a shark's mouth? Ew!" Amy cringed. "You disgust me, Owen!"
"I'm the naturalist." Owen explained. "And I volunteer as tribute!" He declared, raising his spear into the air. "Er...I'll jump next."
"Are you sure?" Noah asked warily. "You're not exactly Disney Princess..."
"Yeah dude, you're gonna be pretty hard to hold up." Duncan pointed out.
"Don't worry Duncan, you guys are strong!" Owen assured him, playfully slugging the punk in the shoulder. "I'll only be down there for a minute, for the the naturalist always catches his prey!" He declared.
"If you say so..." Duncan shrugged.
"Try to come up with a seal or a shark or something, okay buddy?" Noah requested. "At least make the suffering of holding you up rewarding."
"Will do!" Owen pledged.
The human fart-machine strapped on the wetsuit, which had to be stretched to fit his rotund belly.
A lot.
"You sure you're okay, mate?" Jasmine asked. One look at the tight-stretched food-lover would make you wonder the same thing. The suit looked close to ripping and every muscle-movement Owen made looked strained.
"No...problem!" Owen said, his jaw barely able to move in the tight suit. "I shall...return!" He declared, raising his spear. There was a sudden rip and cracking noise and Owen quickly retracted his hand with a painful wail. "OW! That smarts!" He cried, holding his probably-dislocated arm.
"You might want these, dude." Geoff said, strapping the pair of goggles to Owen's face while Duncan hooked the line to the chubby boy's ankle.
"Here I go!" Owen said valiantly. Before his team could get a good hold on the fishing pole, he jumped off the platform and towards the water below, nearly yanking the pole with him before Jasmine managed to catch it before it went over.
"We need everyone!" Jasmine commanded, yanking the pole back so that it was able to rest on the fulcrum. Duncan, Geoff, and Eva quickly came to her aid and helped keep the pole in place while the rest of the team came over to help as well.
"Agh! Why is he so heavy!" Eva growled. "Seriously, he needs to invest in an exercise program!"
"I don't think he'd survive. Yesterday I caught him paying Izzy with imaginary Owen-dollars so she'd bring him a slice of pizza from Chef's kitchen just so he didn't have to leave his bed." Noah told her.
"Bro, I could not imagine Owen as skinny!" Geoff laughed.
"Yes, it would be quite terrifying." Noah nodded. "Speaking of skinny, where's Katie?" He wondered, looking around until he finally spotted the crying girl in the corner. "What seems to be the problem, sniffles?" He asked bluntly.
"I miss Sadie!" Katie cried.
"Figures." Noah rolled his eyes.
"Well if it makes you feel any better, we need your help." Noah said. "Your complete lack of muscle plus my complete lack of muscle equals admittedly not much but it's better than nothing. You know what they say, two wrongs make a right."
"I thought that was wrong..." Katie sniffled, wiping away some tears from under her eyes.
"Whatever, my point is that the team needs you." Noah said. "Not to sound like Sky or anything."
"But I need Sadie!" Katie wailed, still crunched up in a ball in the corner.
"Okay, time for bad cop." Noah sighed. "If you don't come and help now, we'll vote you off if we lose." He told her bluntly.
"B-but I'm useless without Sadie!"
"Did you seriously not hear anything about my muscle spiel literally five seconds ago?" Noah wondered with a deadpan expression.
"Uh-okay." Katie sniffled, standing up. Noah left her to go help the team with Katie following; eerily seeming to copy every move Noah made, although the bookworm didn't notice.
"Has the big oaf shown any signs of distress?" Noah asked as he peered over the side of the platform.
"None yet, which could be worrying." Jasmine said. "But then again it's only been roughly twenty seconds."
Under the water, Owen looked back and forth in search of prey to lurk upon. The tubby lunchbox made a series of gurgles which translated to: The naturalist, who has now changed his name to the deep-sea explorer, searches for more new species to add to his collection!
Another bunch of gurgles and bubbles transcribed to: The deep-sea explorer has not found anything yet, but cannot give up! He knows he will find something soon!
Suddenly, a few pink, motionless blobs floated along past Owen, catching his attention. The deep-sea explorer has discovered something like he knew he would! It appears to be Plasticus Baggoramus.
Owen speared one with his arrowhead and quickly surfaced to show off his find. "Look guys!" He said, holding up his spear with the pink bag on it. "I found a grocery bag! Do you think there's a grocery store nearby?" He wondered, rubbing his tummy in delight as he licked his lips.
"Yes Owen, there's a grocery store in the middle of a massive body of water." Noah deadpanned. "Because that makes sense. Just try to find something else, a plastic bag won't get us anything more than littering ticket." He muttered.
"Hold on a second, that's not a plastic bag!" Jasmine exclaimed right as Owen went to pluck it off of the spear. He was immediately zapped, earning a long string of pained screams as the electricity surged through his body. "It's a jellyfish..." She finished with a frown.
"Ha! I didn't think anyone would fall for that!" Chris cackled. "Nice one Owen, but those things won't get you any points!" He informed him.
"Quick! Someone pee on his hand!" Noah instructed as Owen hopped up and down on the ice in pain.
"Already covered!" Owen whimpered, lowering his hand under his crotch. With that, ripped off the wetsuit, pulled down his shorts and...the shot cut to his team recoiling, cringing, and flinching in disgust.
"Ew! Ew! Ew!" Amy shrieked, running to the end of the platform and turning away while Katie hurled over the side.
"Hurry up man! No one needs to see that!" Noah shouted at his friend.
"Aw-haw!" Geoff laughed. "Nice one bro!"
"Abomination!" Max declared in disgust.
With a hefty yank, Owen pulled his pants back up and zipped them. "Ah, much better." He said with a relaxed sigh.
"Well we didn't get a point but we got a...view, that's for sure." Noah shuddered. "Get back up here with the wetsuit, we are not gonna try to pull you back up!" He hollered.
The footage cut to a montage of different scenes starting with Courtney going in for Team Chill. The CIT searched underwater but only came up with a bass.
Eva went down for Team Freeze and came face to face with an angry swordfish. So, to solve the problem, she pulled out another swordfish from somewhere off-screen and began a sword-fight with the swordfish. The two clashed for a while before Eva slammed down hard on the opposing fish's extended nose, flipping it over so that she could grab it by the tail like the one she was holding.
Dawn jumped in next for Team Chill and searched around but couldn't find any big fish. So, she rounded up a group of about five minnows in her hand and gently carried them to the surface. After she was pulled up by her team, she quickly stuck her hand into the aquarium to let the minnows breathe.
Dakota wen after Dawn and found herself in a tangle of three sharks and a walrus. She suddenly began transforming into Dakotazoid and in a matter of time, she had knocked out her foes by kicking, karate-chopping, and down-right tearing them apart, much to Dawn's horror. When Dakota came up normal with a dead shark, she looked very sad. Chris flew in on his jet-pack with a thumbs down, earning them no point since the shark was dead.
Jasmine took a try for her team and found herself in between a shark and a walrus. To the walrus, she grabbed it by the tusks and flung it over her heard where it crashed into the shark that was about to come after her. Since the shark was lighter, she grabbed it by the tail and yanked on the rope to bring her back up.
"The score is now 80 to 30! It looks like Team Freeze has this in the bag! But can Samey get something worthwhile for her team before then?" Chris narrated as the cheerleader got into the wetsuit and put the goggles on.
"Good luck little penguin!" Cody wished her with a smile as he hooked the line to her ankle.
"Thanks." Samey blushed. "I think I'm gonna need it." She admitted before jumping off the platform with a scream. She landed with a splash in the cold water below, scattering a few broken-off ice flows.
Instantly, there were fish swimming all around her which came to her as a surprise. She quickly snatched up a bass which was about the biggest one around. It wasn't a shark or something else big, but it was something at least.
Samey held onto the flopping fish and headed for the surface so she could breathe while her team pulled her up. But something grabbed onto her ankle.
The cheerleader almost yelped but knew she needed her oxygen. She tried to wriggle free of the grip but couldn't. Looking back, she saw a dark, shadowy figure. She could only make out a long ponytail that almost looked purple.
(Outhouse Confessional- CODYKINS)
Samey- "How did Sierra get here?!" She cried. "And why is she trying to kill me!" She looked quite frightened as if Sierra might burst through the roof of the outhouse now and attack her.
Samey's cheeks puffed as she screamed inwardly, her eyes bulging as she realized who it was. Sierra pulled Samey down further, causing the twin to lose the fish when she reached for the surface.
Back on the platform, her team was starting to get worried. "It's been a while! Where is she?" Cody fretted, biting his nails as he watched a cloud of bubbles surface from the water. "I think something's wrong.
"She must be gasping for down there at this point, judging from the amount of bubbles on the surface." Harold deduced. "Maybe she's caught on something."
"Well we've gotta do something!" Cody screamed. "If she's stuck and gasping for air, she's out of it and needs more!"
Before their conversation could continue further, there was a loud crack followed by a blast of ice shards flying everywhere. Cody, Harold, and several of their teammates ducked to avoid getting hit by the bits of ice. When it cleared, they all ran to the edge of the platform to see what the commotion was.
"Is that...Sierra?!" Harold exclaimed, dumbfounded. "But how is that possible?"
"It's simple really." Scarlett answered. "The Playa is on a Cruise Ship off the coast this time. It must be carrying contestants not apart of the show additional to this season's losers. Thus, Sierra was able to swim to shore in a matter of hours and hide out in the forest until it was time to strike."
"Wait, how'd you know the Playa was on a Cruise Ship?" Harold asked.
"For one, it's what they used last season in place of the Playa since the island was all new." Scarlett explained. "I also saw it out on the lake at past elimination ceremonies. When the Boot of Shame kicks people into the distance, they tend to land near the boat, thus emphasizing my conclusion."
"I see." Harold nodded in understanding.
"What was she doing underwater, though?" Courtney wondered as Cody and other members of their team helplessly watched Samey and Sierra fight down below.
"Isn't it obvious? She was waiting for Samey to jump so she could get her chance to take her out." Scarlett told the CIT. "She wants to fight for the role of most dominant female to take Cody for herself, similarly to Male Silver-back Gorillas."
"Wait, what? They're fighting over...me?" Cody gulped. He was left in utter shock. All his life he'd been a loser always chasing after girls and always getting rejected. To have two of them fighting over him was completely new to him.
"Of course they are, and it looks like Sierra is being ruthless." Scarlett said, peering over the side of the platform once more, a wicked grin forming on her face.
Down below on some sturdier pieces of ice, Sierra was pulling Samey's hair while the cheerleader tried to kick the ubber fan off of her. The two rolled around on the ice in epic combat. Not really, it was more of an epic cat-fight.
Samey managed to kick Sierra off of her only to have the purple-haired ubber fan come pouncing back and grab her by the neck, punching her in the face. The cheerleader shrieked and grabbed Sierra's arm to stop her from punching but it only made Sierra start clawing her with her other hand. "Why are you doing this?!" Samey cried.
"Because! You stole my Cody-kins!" Sierra answered angrily, clenching a fist before clawing at her again.
"What do you mean stole? He was never yours in the first place!" Samey snapped. "You tried to force him into a relationship!"
"Don't you ever say that!" Sierra growled, reaching for Samey's hair again so she could pull it, but Samey got Sierra's hair first and yanked on her ponytail. "Ow!"
(Outhouse Confessional- Wow. Just wow.)
Samey- "Okay, I feel so bad for Cody right now! I didn't want to fight over him, but Sierra attacked me!" She exclaimed. "And it kind of escalated from there when she said I stole him..." The cheerleader sighed. "I also might have said more about my crush on Cody than I would have liked..."
Sierra- "Samey's probably just playing up the 'nice twin' thing! Did you see how she pulled my hair and how she was stealing my Cody from me?" She asked the camera. "She's also the only one I don't have a lot of information on since she's new and Amy won't tell me anything. I can't believe those two were accepted onto a season of Total Drama." She rolled her eyes.
"Cody's mine!" Sierra shouted, yanking Samey's hair.
"No, he doesn't belong to anyone!" Samey retaliated, yanking Sierra's purple ponytail again.
"But I saw him first!"
"But he's single!"
"That doesn't matter!"
"Yeah it does because I like him!" Samey blurted out.
"SIERRA!" Came Cody's voice, now booming with surprising anger. Samey and Sierra both shrieked and stopped what they were doing to glance up at a fuming Cody on top of the platform. "What are you doing?"
"Trying to save our relationship! Samey was trying to ruin it with her womanly charms!" Sierra explained frantically.
"I'm sixteen!" Samey protested.
"STOP!" Cody shouted again. "Sierra, I thought I made it clear before, we're friends. I know you like me, but I just don't feel the same way."
"B-but..."
"No, no buts! You need to understand that I like you as a friend! You need to let me make my own choices and date girls I like!" Cody realized what he had said and blushed. "Uh...I mean-"
Sierra suddenly burst into tears. "But it's not faaaair!" She sobbed. "After all I've done for you, you still don't like me? What do I have to do?!"
"I'm sorry Sierra, you know I like you as a friend and you have helped me so much! But I need you to understand!" Cody begged. "You're turning into a me-obsessed monster! Look what you've done to Sammy out of pure jealousy!"
Sierra sniffed and wiped some snot from her nose. "It's alright Cody. I do understand." She nodded. "And I'm sorry Samey—I mean Sammy! I just...I've liked Cody for so long!"
"It's okay." Samey nodded in understanding, rubbing her sore head. "But I think you and Cody could use some time alone to talk this out..."
"I think you're right." Cody agreed.
"Um, hate to break up this touching moment and all, but we're kind of losing!" Courtney hollered down.
"Oh yeah...right." Samey nodded. She quickly ran for the ladder while Sierra sniffled a bit more.
"I'll talk to you back at camp, okay Sierra?" Cody told her.
"Okay." She nodded.
Courtney sighed. "What's the use? We're so gonna lose anyway! The other team just has to catch a shark or something to win and so far, they've done a good job of that." She moped.
"Don't worry, Izzy has a plan!" The redhead cackle, snatching the wetsuit from Samey who had since taken it off. Before anyone could say anything, the wild child ran to the end of the platform and jumped off without attaching the hook to her ankle.
"Something ain't right with that girl." Leshawna shook her head.
"And it's taken you this long to figure that out?" Gwen raised an eyebrow from the bench as Trent tended to her injured leg.
"All hope seems lost for Team Chill as Jasmine, Team Freeze's most capable player goes in for a dive!" Chris narrated.
"This'll be no problem." Jasmine grinned, cracking her knuckles. She hooked the line to her ankle and went in for a dive.
"Come on Izzy...do something right for once." Courtney chanted to herself, biting her lip in anticipation.
The water bubbled for a second before a massive explosion rocked the challenge area. Ice went flying everywhere for the second time and over the sound of erupting water came Izzy's wild whoop of adrenaline.
Everyone gazed up into the sky where Izzy, riding a Killer Whale, passed the sun in slow motion before crashing back down onto her team's platform. Her teammates barely had time to get out of the way, a few getting slightly squished upon landing. The platform gave way instantly and crashed to the ground in a pile of broken wood and dust.
"Ooh..." Several moaned. "Augh."
"Wait a second...Izzy caught a whale!" Bridgette exclaimed in sudden realization. "We win!"
"Game Over! Team Chill some how manages to pull through and catch a whale thanks to Izzy!" Chris declared just as Jasmine surfaced with another unconscious shark.
"Seriously?!" Noah cried in annoyance. "Figures." He muttered.
"Team Freeze, I will be seeing you guys at elimination!" Chris told them. "As for Team Chill, you guys will be rewarded with hot chocolate, blankets, and a movie in the Mess Hall!" He continued, earning cheers from Team Chill.
"So how did your talk with Sierra go?" Samey asked with a wince as Cody returned. The cheerleader was already wrapped in a warm blanket with a mug of hot chocolate in her hands when he friend came into the mess Hall.
"Well, she cried a lot." He sighed. "But I think for the first time, I finally got through to her. Now we're friends and I think she understands that I need to make my own decisions. So, what's the movie?" He asked, sitting down next to Samey. Chef came over and served him a mug of hot chocolate.
"Frosted." Samey replied, taking another sip of her hot chocolate. [3]
Cody rolled his eyes. "Figures Chris would have us watch a cold themed movie as a reward." He sighed.
"Here, they're all out of blankets." Samey said, offering Cody the other half of hers. Cody smiled and joined her under the warm blanket as the two watched the movie.
"Come on, how did she not notice the town was covered in snow from the top of that mountain! It practically looks down on the town!" Harold exclaimed at the screen in front of them.
"Dude, it's just a movie." Trent chuckled.
"Sorry, plot holes like that bother me, no matter how miniscule." Harold shrugged.
"What bothers me is the fact that they claim to be sisters, but look nothing alike, nor like their parents." Scarlett shook her head. "The continuity of this movie is appalling."
"So? It's still a good movie." Samey protested.
"Yeah, especially with the continuous amount of forced musical numbers that would get you slapped if you did that in a conversation in real life." Gwen rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, it's kind of annoying." Everyone said at once.
"Okay fine, it's a little annoying, but I think the plot is cute and it has a good message." Samey smiled, pulling out a teddy bear to snuggle with as she watched.
"Hey, nice teddy bear!" Cody chuckled. "I actually have a stuffed Emu myself." She admitted with a blush his name is-"
"Jerry." Samey answered for him. "Sierra told me before you went to talk to her." She responded to his confused look with a giggle.
"Sierra..." Cody shook his head but couldn't help smiling.
The scene changed to the bonfire ceremony which, due to the fire itself, was the only place on the island not still covered in snow. "So, how's it feel to be cold and a bunch of losers?" Chris asked with an un-sympathetic chuckle.
"Actually not too bad considering it's warm here." Noah answered.
"It was a rhetorical question." Chris glared at him.
"I know." Noah grinned.
"Anyway, the following campers received no votes: Geoff, Eva, Max, Jasmine, Dave, Owen and Amy." Chris read. Those named were all tossed marshmallows and all looked delighted (except Eva) to receive one.
"Next up to receive their fluffy treat of safety...Noah, Sky, and Scott!" The host continued. Noah shrugged and caught his indifferently while Sky and Scott both looked relieved to get theirs.
"That leaves us with Duncan and...Noah?!" Chris looked shocked to see Katie dressed in a sweater-vest identical to Noah's. She also wore his shorts and shoes, which were a bit big for her, and had her hair parted in the same fashion as Noah did. "Wait...what?" Chris still didn't understand what was going on.
"Are you gonna look stupid all day or get on with it?" Katie asked in the same deadpan tone as Noah usually spoke in.
"And I think we've found our resident sheep..." Noah said flatly.
(Outhouse Confessional- That was certainly unexpected)
Noah- "Of course Katie would copy me. Without Sadie to bounce off of, she's a nobody and thus, being the only one who actually was somewhat nice to her, she resorts to copying me." He muttered.
"Um...yeah, okay." Chris held his head. "Please let her be the one eliminated, I can't take two eggheads around here." He moaned. Chef came in with an envelope and Chris took it. "And the one going home is..." He ripped open the envelope, revealing a small piece of paper inside. "Thankfully, Katie!" He read.
"Great, more misery and torture." Katie mumbled as she got up from her seat, trudging over to the pathway that lead to the Boot of Shame.
"Any last words Noah—I mean Katie." Chris asked, holding the remote that would activate the Boot.
"Yeah, several that probably wouldn't make the director's cut." Katie answered bluntly before being kicked off the island by the boot. "Aaaaaaaaahhhh. I'm coming Sadie!" She shouted, still in her Noah voice as she flew into the night sky.
"Ah, that's a relief." Chris sighed happily, wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead. "There are 23 left! How much pain do we have to put them through before it becomes 22?" He asked the camera. "Find out on the next episode of... Total...Drama... Unfinished Business!"

Reason: For those of you not clear with what exactly happened, Duncan's guy's alliance targeted Katie since she was a loyal vote to the girls. He wants to lay low so his alliance isn't directly targeted like the first time. As for Katie, there wasn't much for her to do, but I can also promise you that she will return to normal once she interacts with Sadie. Sorry if you were hoping there was more for her but truth be told, there's not a whole lot I could do with her. I think I at least did both Katie and Sadie justice than what they did in TDI, which was basically nothing.
~A/N~ This chapter was really hard to finish since I felt like I was repeating myself over and over for a while, but I did get it done! A lot happened this chapter oddly enough, so tell me what you think!
I also just got back from my long vacation I mentioned earlier so I now have more free time! Hurray! As always, be sure to check out my new Ridonculous Race story (I promise you it's not terrible!) and leave a fav/follow or even a review! It'd be greatly appreciated!
