Notes From The Depths of Vampirism- HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Okay so it's one day early, sue me!
It's still been a while but I think this is the soonest I've ever gotten an episode out as of late so let's all give ourselves a big round of applause! No? Okay, let's continue then...
So with school starting it makes it quite difficult to get episodes out like I want to, but luckily I was smart and decided not to sign up for all Honors and AP classes so hopefully I won't get loads of homework.
Another thing to note is that this isn't the main focus of my life (as difficult to comprehend as that may sound). I actually do have a social life with friends and family, I have games I like to play, shows I like to watch, and just other things I like to do. Not to say I don't enjoy writing this of course. If I didn't enjoy writing it I'd have stopped a long time ago. I've said this multiple times before but I guess some of you don't read the author's note so this time I'm going to bold it. This story is NOT going anywhere! Okay so I underlined and italicized it too, sue me (do it, you won't). It may seem like years between episodes but I'm working on it. It actually takes a lot of thinking, planning, and executing to write an episode. I really do hate leaving you guys with nothing for months so I'll try and get things done faster, be more efficient, and overall less lazy. I'll also be getting back into my DeviantArt so look forward to some episode sneak peaks, artwork, journals, status updates, and more Unfortunately Fanfiction doesn't seem to like links, so my name is StereotypicalVampire. If you search that in the search bar just about any one of the things that shows up is mine so you can get to my profile through there.
EarlofLemongrab- Dude, you really smell like dog buns. Just kidding ;) and I know you review for the previous chapter but I forgot to reply since I was finishing up on the episode and posting when you did! I am deeply sorry that it takes very long to get an episode out (geez a third of a year?! Yikes!) and I know it's UNACCEPTABLEEEEEEEEE! I'll keep trying to get things done quicker but sometimes life gets in the way (and laziness).
CMR Rosa- Yeah, I want to play both sides of the argument and since Dave has been portrayed as the one at fault lately, I needed to reanalyze what happened. I can definitely see why some see that Sky is to blame. There were definitely some points where she led him on, like the aforementioned kiss.
Nicky Haugh- Why thank you my (Australian?) friend!
TheBlueAzuru- Yeah I only figured out that I could maybe do a bit more with Dakota after I planned to have her eliminated. There wasn't much I could do but yeah, she's not really meant to become a super smart strategist anyway. Like I said, she's one of those people who thinks they know what they're doing but ends up getting duped. I also really liked your idea so don't put yourself down! It worked out pretty well I think and the two bonded over it! Also, I bet you probably don't believe me but setting the Codammy ship sailing in a pirate themed episode was completely unintentional! XD
Richboylion- She assumed her team would think nothing of it considering Eva has never really been very friendly (Not to mention what she did during the team picking challenge). She also knew they were gunning for Amy. Sometimes even the smartest and most calculating people make one simple error in judgment and no doubt is Scarlett beating herself up about it.
SilentSinger948- Yay! Someone who's cultured! And as interesting as having Dakota take down Amy sounds, let's face it, Dakota's definitely not the brightest bulb. You're definitely right about Eva and Jasmine on Exile, Eva's gonna have some real damage control to do!
Idntwnamakeacc- I assumed that's what your name stood for! And how ironic that you're now considering making an account! XD I totally understand your not thinking it was worth three months and I'm hoping to fix that! Once a month is my goal but it could be a while before I reach that regularly. I also like your idea! Who knows, I may implement it at some point when Cody and Samey's relationship furthers.
CMC- I'm sorry about your grandpa :( I have also lost people (and pets) close to me before. Growing up is hard but it definitely has wonderful experiences as well :) Also, never feel like you're forced to review, life comes first!
TimeLord2099- Ah yes, I think actually forgot to right Noah playing the part of the Dutchman which is quite upsetting! I'll have to go back and check. If I didn't I'll definitely have to add that in! Dave is definitely turning out to be quite the interesting character and I'm glad to see you're all interested in where I'm taking him!
Joel Connell- Ugh, I hate it when that stuff with the email and passwords happens! It's happened to me far too many times! Definitely make a DeviantArt account! I'll try posting more there whether it be art, sneak peaks or journals, etc. Now that you bring it up, I totally would've tried to make the jail scene with the dog work but you make a fair point, it'd be very hard to fit that in! Eva definitely has damage control to do and the Mulan Szechuan Sauce is coming! I promise (just like McDonalds!) Yay! 500 reviews! You did it, you got the big one! Stick around, maybe you can also be the thousandth ;) Also, I am still in the works with the All-Stars fic as well as the new revamped Ridonculous Race fic. I actually ended up going with the original number of 22 for All-Stars and decided that it didn't need to be an even number from each generation (Since the later two generations have less people to work with). All episodes for both fics will be written in advance so I'm sorry to say you won't be seeing those for a while XD but the good news is that when they're done, they'll be put out on a weekly schedule and the writing should be much better since I have time to edit and correct things! Once again, congrats on 500th and I hope to see you soon! ;)
Stevie Wonder- What didn't you see? I'm not quite sure what you mean by that.
Great Idea Alert- You've definitely got it right about Amy, she'll stop at nothing to make Samey miserable. As for the Szechuan sauce, who knows it might be nine more seasons, Morty!
Codammy Forever- I'm glad you thought it was worth it but I'm definitely gonna try to cut down on the amount of months XD And yes, huzzah! They are now together! I agree, I think they'd make a very interesting cannon couple and I hope they bring them back!
FireFlamerx9z- Oh they'll definitely kiss at some point, all couples do. But keep in mind, they just became a couple so they wouldn't have kissed yet anyway. Cody and Samey I think would be the kind to take things slower than others might. Your idea with Izzy thinking Emma is either Trans or was bribed is hilarious XD I might just have to implement that! It's definitely something Izzy would believe to make sure Noah stays gay (not that he was to begin with XD)
LoneWolf- Thanks! And to answer your questions; I wrote this story to sort of repair what All-Stars did wrong, It's not really their love story they're just a couple I decided to do because I wanted a new couple for this story, The Kobold Necromancer's story Total Drama Battlegrounds gave me the idea for VR challenges, I'm not sure, classified, yes, classified, classified, classified, and classified.
Episode 21 – Snow-where to Run, Snow-where to Hide!
"Last time on Total Drama Unfinished Business!" Chris opened on clips from the previous episode. "Our campers got the lead out of their pants and roughed it like true buccaneers!" He said, showing the two large galleons that donned the faces of Chris and Chef.
"They went treasure hunting and some ran into...unexpected company!" The host continued. Cody and Samey were shown being attacked by laser squirrels followed by Dakota absolutely pummeling the giant cockroach.
"During a fight with some determined fire-breathing mountain goats, Scarlett took the opportunity to test out her latest invention on none other than Eva, turning her into a raging psychopath! Well, more than usual anyway." Chris chuckled as Scarlett was shown pulling Eva into a cave and putting the collar around her neck.
"After a strange turn of events," Team Kihew was shown launching silverware at the opposition, "Eva was taken out by a fork and allowed Duncan to secure victory for Team Kihew!" Chris said as Duncan hopped off the pirate ship with the treasure and gave it to Chris.
"In another shocking elimination ceremony, Dakota was the unlucky loser after Eva pulled out an immunity idol. However, she and Jasmine were sentenced to Exile!" The host said a a clip if Eva pulling out her idol was played. "Will Eva be able to do some damage control? Will Jasmine forgive her? And how long will Cody and Samey's new relationship last? Find out all this and more on this week's episode of...Total...Drama...Unfinished Business!"

Dear mom and dad I'm doin' fine;
You guys are on my mind!
You asked me what I wanted to be,
And now I think the answer is plain to see!
I wanna be...famous!
I wanna live close to the sun!
Well pack your bags 'cause I've already won!
Everything to prove nothin' in my way;
I'll get there one day!
'Cause I wanna be famous!
(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa!)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous!
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous!
(Whistling)

"So...that just happened." Samey said awkwardly as Team Sisikwew trekked back to their cabin from the bonfire pit. It was clear that there was tension in the air and no one really knew how to respond.
"Truthfully, Dakota had no use to the team." Scarlett shrugged. Dawn, Samey and Cody glared at her. "What?" Scarlett raised her eyebrow, "We're in the team stage of this competition. Eva's strength and athleticism greatly outweighs Dakota's . . .whatever Dakota had..."
"So would that mean you voted for her?" Dawn asked.
"Of course. The current goal is to reach the merge. We have a significantly stronger chance of that happening if we keep Eva around." Scarlett explained. "Nothing personal against Dakota, she's just not as valuable."
"How can you just value people by their skills and abilities like that?" Cody shook his head. He didn't have a close connection with Dakota but he knew Scarlett's reasoning wasn't right.
"What? I do that all the time." Amy rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, we already knew that." Samey glared at her twin.
(Outhouse Confessional – EXPOSED)
Scarlett- "Despite the disaster that was last night's elimination ceremony, things still went according to plan. With Dakota out of the way, Amy has no one to depend on but me. Yes I admitted to voting for Dakota, but I gave a reasonable explanation for it, leaving them none the wiser."
Amy- "So Scarlett voted for Dakota! Why did she have me vote for Eva?" She tapped her chin in thought. "Hmm...this seems very shady." She narrowed her eyes.
"Who knows, maybe Jasmine can straighten out our feisty friend." Izzy grinned, making a clawing motion.
"Well, if anyone can do it, it's Jasmine." Cody nodded.
"Speaking of which, I wonder how they're doing on Exile..." Samey bit her lip.
"I'm sure they'll be fine. If not, one of them will have eaten the other by daybreak." Noah shrugged, turning to enter the cabin.
Jasmine gave Eva a glaring side-eye as Chef transported the two brawny teens via boat to Exile Island.
Eva winced, knowing she had done something wrong but not knowing what. She strained to remember but the memories were just...gone. The last thing she remembered was being attacked by Fire-breathing Mountain Goats, then waking up dazed and soaked on the beach with everyone else. She tried not to make eye contact with the Aussie, knowing she was glaring daggers at her.
Being stuck on Exile with Eva was one thing, but this was the second time she'd been banished here. She was the only contestant to go to Exile both times so far and she knew the reason why. She was labeled the Survivalist, and for good reason. Sure she was accustomed to sleeping outdoors, but ever since Samey had helped her get over her claustrophobia enough to sleep inside a cabin, she realized how much better it was, although it did take a little while to get used to the soft mattress as opposed to the rough bark.
"Alright, here's your stop, get out." Chef announced, facing them and jerking his thumb back at the remote island.
"Well, time to make camp." Jasmine said, hopping over the side of the boat and heading onto the beach.
Eva followed and as soon as she got off the boat, Chef high-tailed it back to Pahkitew. "So where do we start?" Eva asked, knowing Jasmine was the expert in this field.
"We? There is no we." Jasmine snapped. "I'm making my camp. Feel free to do whatever you want, far away from me." She frowned at the weight-lifter.
Eva sighed. She was trying really hard to keep her cool and make some friends. Just when she was finally succeeding, things went downhill real quick.
Jasmine walked away and gathered some sticks, putting them into formation for a fire. After rubbing two sticks together, she got some sparks and tended to the fire with some twigs and leaves.
Eva glanced over with wide eyes at Jasmine's quick success. She looked back at the two rocks in her hands and growled, chucking one at the sky, bringing down a bird with it, earning a look of surprise from the temperamental teen.
As per usual when sleeping outdoors, Jasmine grabbed a vine and tied her leg to a tree limb and relaxed comfortably.
Eva attempted to make a blanket out of sand but was given a rude awakening when the waves from the lake lapped against the beach, sweeping over her and pulling her blanket away while simultaneously getting her wet.
Now the bully was fuming, clenching her fists tight. "That is it!" She shouted, marching over to Jasmine's tree. "I don't know what I did, but whatever it was, I'm sorry!" She apologized.
Jasmine glanced down at her. "You don't know what you did? How could you not know?!" Jasmine exclaimed. "Now step off, I know your game! I'm not playing anymore!"
"I'm serious!" Eva returned, starting to get more mad. "I have no idea what happened! There's just a blank spot in my memory!"
"So you're telling me that nasty persona wasn't you?" Jasmine raised an eyebrow. "Then who was it, because I've sure seen her before!"
"I know I get really mad sometimes but I'm working on it!" Eva protested.
"Sometimes?!" Jasmine said incredulously, "You're a ticking time-bomb of rage!"
"I've gone to anger management classes and it was working sort of...until now I guess." She sighed. "Honest, I have no idea what I did but I'm really sorry for it. It's not the real me, I swear."
"Well it sounds like you've got amnesia, but how could you have gotten that?" Jasmine wondered. "Those goats didn't knock your head did they?"
"I don't think so?" Eva shrugged. "I honestly don't know."
(Outhouse Confessional – Sing us a song, you're the piano man!)
Jasmine- "Now normally there's no way I'd trust that raging psychopath, but I doubt she'd lie to me about memory loss just to be my friend and then turn on me again." She tapped her chin. "So then what happened?"
"Well you must've hit your head." Jasmine deduced, hopping down from her tree. "And then maybe Duncan knocked you out allowing him to take the treasure and win..."
Eva shrugged, not having a clue what she was talking about.
"Say, what happened to that choker you were wearing earlier?" Jasmine wondered, glancing at Eva's neck.
"What choker? Why would I wear a choker?" Eva raised an eyebrow.
Jasmine sighed. "Of course you wouldn't remember that either."
"When was I wearing it?" Eva inquired.
Jasmine tapped her chin in thought, trying to remember. "Let's see you were wearing it after the goats attacked us and that's also when you turned into a psychopath..." Suddenly Jasmine put two and two together and gasped. "Could it have been the choker you were wearing? It might explain your memory loss too..."
"Wait, so a choker that makes me super angry?" Eva wondered.
"It would make the wearer hostile, yes." Jasmine nodded. "Sounds like something Max would make..." She noted, "But he's been out of the competition so that wouldn't make sense..."
"Well who else would make something like that?" Eva asked.
Jasmine's eyes widened. "Scarlett." She answered knowingly. "She's up to something..."
(Outhouse Confessional – Red, orange, yellow flicker beat striking off my heart)
Jasmine- "Scarlett must be plotting something, but what would turning Eva into a raging psychopath have anything to do with it?"
Scarlett- "After running last night's events over in my head multiple times, I've concluded that Jasmine and Eva may be able to put together enough information to figure out what's going on while together on Exile. It's a very low probability, but I will not overlook any further details. It nearly foiled my plan last night and I refuse to let that happen again." She stated.
Noah yawned as he opened his eyes to find Izzy right on top of him, staring him in the face with that creepy grin that she had perfected. "Wah! Izzy! What the heck!" Noah cried, pushing her off of him. "Get out!"
"I don't think so, Noah!" Izzy pushed him off of his bed so that he was now on the floor. "You heard your mom, we've got adventures to go on Noah! Just you and me, and sometimes one of your nine brothers and sometimes your mom but never your dad! Wanna know why Noah? Because he crossed me!" Izzy shouted, pointing a finger in Noah's face.
"What? How did you know I was dreaming about my mom? Wait...my dad crossed you? You've never met my dad! And geez take it easy, that's dark!" Noah looked at her like the crazy person she was.
"Oh, it gets darker Noah...welcome to the darkest year of our adventures! First thing that's different, no more dad Noah!" Izzy told him.
"What do you mean adventures? And once again, you've never met my dad!" Noah exclaimed, starting to get annoyed by Izzy's antics.
"He threatened to turn me into the government!" Izzy threw her hands up. "So I made him and the government go away..." She said ominously.
"You what?!"
"I repla-belch-ced them both as the defacto-patriarch of your family, AND your universe!" Izzy grinned.
"What the /censored/ are you talking about?!" Noah blurted. "Do you even know what patriarch means?"
"Your mom wouldn't have accepted me if I came home without your or your brothers. So now you know the real reason I rescued you!"
"Rescued me from what?!" Noah cried out in confusion.
"I JUST TOOK OVER THE FAMILY NOAH!" Izzy cackled.
"Oh boy..." Noah sighed.
"And if you tell your mom or nine brothers I said any of this, I'll deny it!"
"You'll deny it..." Noah repeated, raising an eyebrow.
"And they'll take my side, because I'm a hero, Noah! And now you're gonna have to do whatever I say, Noah, forever! A-and I-I'll go out find some of that Mulan, Szechuan Teriyaki dipping sauce, Noah!" Izzy stuttered, drooling from her mouth.
"Wh-what are you talking about?"
"Because that's what this is all about Noah!" Izzy hollered.
"Szechuan?" Noah asked.
"Th-that's my one arm man. I'm not driven by avenging my dead family," Izzy said as Noah tried to crawl away, "Noah, that was FAKE!" She pulled him back by the leg. "I-I'm driven by finding that, McNugget Sauce, Noah."
"Dead family?!" Noah wondered, not understanding half of what she was saying. "Nuggets?!"
"I want that Mulan McNugget sauce, Noah!" Izzy declared.
"Mulan?"
"That's my series arc is, Noah!"
"Did you just-"
"IF IT TAKES NINE MORE SEASONS, I WANT MY MCNUGGET DIPPING SAUCE SZECHUAN SAUCE NOAH!" Izzy shouted, curling her fingers into fists.
"Nine more seasons of Total Drama?!" Noah asked wearily.
"TH-THAT'S WHAT'S GONNA TAKE US, ALL THE WAY TO THE END NOAH! SEASON, NINE MORE SEASONS NOAH!"
"Szechuan sauce?!" Noah yelled angrily.
"NINE MORE SEASONS UNTIL I GET THAT DIPPING SZECHUAN SAUCE!"
"What is that?!" Noah screamed.
"FOR NINETY-SEVEN MORE YEARS, NOAH!"
"What are you talking about?!"
"I WANT THAT MCNUGGET SAUCE, NOAH!" Izzy wailed. [1]
"You done?" Noah raised an eyebrow.
Izzy let out a loud belch. "I-I found th-the rum, Noah!" She held up a glass jug half-full of brown liquid.
"Izzy, that's root beer." Noah pointed out.
"I don't g-give a flying flip what it is!" Izzy answered, waving the jug around and letting the root beer slosh around inside.
...And then she passed out on the floor and began snoring.
Noah just looked at her in astonishment.
Suddenly Izzy jolted awake. "Whoops! Wrong body!" She laughed before abruptly pausing, her eyes staring blankly into the distance. A few seconds later and the crazy redhead returned laughing.
"I'm not even going to ask..."
"You heard your mom Noah, we've got adventures to go on!" Izzy started up again.
Noah just face-palmed. "I'm going to take a shower." He muttered, leaving the room.
(Outhouse Confessional – I wanna hold you, I wanna run in a stream, I wanna be alive!)
Noah- "Okay, it's definitely time to call the insane asylum. They've got a long overdue patient..." He deadpanned.
Amy walked up to the serving station in the Mess Hall for breakfast. Most times the cheerleader chose to starve rather than stomach the usual slop here, but she had done so for the past few days and was desperate for something to eat. "Finally came crawling back, did ya girly?" Chef sneered, dumping a scoop of mush onto her tray.
Amy gagged at the sight of the less-than-edible meal. "No," She shot back, "I was just sick of starving myself." She left the station and found her person of interest.
"So pal, what happened last night?" Amy asked with an irritated tone as she came and sat down across from Scarlett. The brainiac was busy absorbing some of her meal through a syringe.
She looked up and addressed Amy. "It was obvious you had a deep connection with Dakota, so clearly you would refuse to vote for her. In turn, I had you vote for Eva in order to balance the numbers in my favor. As stated before, I chose to target Dakota because she was of no use to the team. Is that a good enough answer for you?"
Amy just glared at her. "Well you didn't have to be rude about it." She said with an offended tone.
(Outhouse Confessional – It's only game, why you have to be mad?)
Scarlett- "At this point, I'm ready to move on from what happened last night. I may have lost my temper slightly with Amy, but things are still currently in my favor. Amy is still in the dark about my true intentions and she has no one else to turn to at this point in time. Now all I need to worry about is the very real threat of a bitter Eva."
Amy- "So now I know why Scarlett lied to me." She crossed her arms. "Right now I have to make sure we don't lose because I can't trust Scarlett to keep me safe anymore." She sighed. "Today's challenge better be something I'm good at or I might have to take extra measures to ensure my safety..."
"Morning campers!" Chris greeted everyone as he entered the mess hall. He was dressed in Hockey apparel and brandished a hockey stick and mask along with some snowshoes. "Who's ready for today's chilling challenge?"
"If it's what I think it is, you can count me out." Noah frowned, resting his head in his hand.
"You've just gotta get into the spirit of things!" Chris insisted, tossing a hockey puck in the air and swinging at it with his stick like a baseball bat.
Noah ducked just in time before the puck whizzed over his head. It flew into the kitchen, barely missing Chef before smashing through the back window. "Whoops..." Chris gazed at the hole in the window.
"You're gonna pay for my kitchen!" Chef snapped.
"Eh, take it out of the intern's salary." The host waved it off.
"But we don't pay them..." Chef reminded him.
"Oh yeah...oh well." Chris shrugged. "Fixes the A/C problem."
Chef just crossed his arms and glared at him.
"Finish your breakfast and follow me to today's challenge!" Chris motioned for everyone to follow him.
"Before we begin, let's bring back Jasmine and Eva from Exile!" Chris announced as Chef came by on a jeep carrying the two teens.
They both hopped off and joined their team. Jasmine narrowed her eyes at Scarlett who in turn glared back at her.
(Outhouse Confessional – Tension)
Scarlett- "Well it's clear Jasmine has caught on to my ploy, but what exactly she knows, I'm not sure. I'll refrain jumping to conclusions for now but I'll certainly be keeping my eye on her."
"Canada: Big, wide, and very very cold!" Chris began, already earning an eye role from Noah. "Here in the big white north it snows twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year! Its frozen landscape is the perfect setting for the favorite sport of this great nation: Hockey!"
"Sorry to interrupt but I think it should be noted that everything you've just said about Canada is exceedingly false." Scarlett noted.
"Quit ruining my intro!" Chris snapped. "Now, for today's challenge you'll be playing EXTREME HOCKEY!"
"Yes!" Harold pumped his fist. "Now I can finally put my mad figure skating skills to good use!"
"No way, man!" Geoff exclaimed with excitement. "I was on my school's hockey team for like...two years!"
"What about the other four years?" Bridgette asked.
"Yeah, funny story," Geoff scratched the back of his neck, "I accidentally nailed the coach in the face with a hockey puck." He chuckled sheepishly. "I uh...wasn't asked back after that."
"Oh..."
"Alright!" Duncan grinned. "I guess all those peewee hockey games my mom made me go to are finally gonna come in handy!"
"Anyway, this game of hockey will be a little bit different," Chris explained, "To simplify things, all you've gotta do is land a puck in the goal to score a point. First to five wins!"
"Sounds too boring," Noah shook his head, "What's the catch?"
"HIT IT CHEF!" Chris shouted.
Chef pulled a large lever connected to the ground, causing a giant field of grass to retract into the Island's mainframe. A few seconds later, a massive ice hockey rink rose from the hole. Several ice ramps surrounded the massive centerpieces of the arena; a giant polar bear and a giant walrus both sculpted out of ice. As if on cue, both structures simultaneously spit out a blaze of fire for dramatic effect.
"Whoa..." Duncan awed.
"In order to keep things entertaining, six team members will be on the ice at a time while the other four will sit atop their team's snow fort and try to hinder the other team by throwing snowy projectiles at them!" Chris said, picking up a snowball and chucking it at Chef.
The snowball collided and spontaneously combusted, littering the cook's face with a thin layer of blackened soot.
"As you can see, some of the snowballs contain fun surprises." Chris said, earning a glare from Chef.
"Oh, so like the snow fort challenge from season four!" Dawn interpreted.
"Well yeah but...with hockey!" Chris said, trying to make up for his lack of creativity. "We're going through some budget cuts, okay? We can't afford to come up with new and exciting forms of torture!"
"Not that any of us were asking for that..." Noah pointed out.
"Whatever!" Chris shook it off. "You'll be able to cycle out players after every scored goal if you want to."
"What happens if nobody scores five goals?" Amy asked, clearly trying to find a loophole.
"Then we'll bring it to a tiebreaker." Chris grinned, pressing a button on his remote control. Over on the rink, a cardboard cut-out and an automatic puck-launcher rose from the floor. The launcher fired one single puck which shot through the cut-out at lightning speed, creating a gaping hole in the figure.
Everyone winced, especially the guys. "It hurts just thinking about it!" Harold cried, holding his kiwis.
"Since we're legally obligated to offer required safety-wear, choose your players and gear up!" Chris said, holding up some hockey equipment.
"So who's up for some frozen fun?" Duncan grinned at his team. "I know I am!"
"I think I'll sit this one out." Courtney decided.
"Same here, getting pucks thrown at you doesn't exactly sound like fun." Bridgette admitted.
"Ain't no way I'm risking this face." Leshawna said, pointing to her complexion. "And did I mention I'd like to keep my teeth while I'm at it?"
"No one with beauty of your caliber should risk their gorgeous smile." Harold complimented her.
"Any other chickens?" Duncan eyed his team.
"Yeah, I don't really feel like getting nailed in the face with a puck today." Dave said casually, walking over to join the other non-participants.
"Alright then, have fun chucking messed-up snowballs at people." Duncan shrugged.
"On second thought, can I be a snowball-chucker? I've got a certain someone I'd like nail in the face." Scott narrowed his eyes at Duncan.
"Don't even think about it, dork." Duncan poked him with a finger. "You're coming on the rink with us."
(Outhouse Confessional – Snow more bad puns, I swear!)
Courtney- "I'll admit, those two fighting over me is starting to get annoying. Okay, more annoying." She sighed. "But as long as they're obsessed with me, I have free reign to take advantage." She smirked before glaring at the camera. "Don't try to make me feel guilty!" She accused. "They're throwing themselves at me, who wouldn't take advantage of it?"
Harold- "While I've never played hockey before, I'm a wizard on skates." He bragged. "Who knows, maybe scoring a goal with these mad skills won't be hard at all." He grinned with pride.
"Eva and I had better be on the rink at all times, no offense to the rest of you." Jasmine told her team.
"Wait, so did you and Eva like, make up?" Samey asked.
"You could say that." Jasmine nodded, eyeing Scarlett again. "Now who else wants to play?"
"Ooh! Ooh! Me! Izzy does! I do!" Izzy hollered with excitement, jumping up and down waving her arms.
"Clear the ice, Izzy's on the rink!" Noah joked.
"You bet your booties they should!" Izzy grinned creepily, now holding a hockey stick which earned a look of concern from Noah.
"As much as I'd like to help out, I'm afraid I'm quite physically challenged." Dawn frowned. "I'll sit out if that's okay with you all."
"Fine by me." Jasmine shrugged. "If it's not your thing it's not your thing."
"Then may I join her? As I've stated many times before, sports are not my forte. Especially not this one." Noah remarked.
"I would prefer to sit out as well." Scarlett stated.
"Yeah, you'd make a good hinderer wouldn't you." Jasmine glared at the brainiac.
"There is no way I'm putting my looks in danger. I'm totally sitting out." Amy decided.
(Outhouse Confessional – If you break it you buy it!)
Amy- "Okay so, yeah I said I would do anything to stay in the game but like, not at the expense of my looks!" She said. "I've seen what those pucks can do to people's teeth and there's no way I'm loosing any of mine!"
"Okay, time's up! Get into your gear and let's get this show on the road!" Chris grinned. "Or should I say ice."

The campers on the rink were now dressed in helmets, shoulder pads, gloves, shin pads, skates, and other equipment of the like.
"Playing for Team Kihew we have Duncan, Geoff, Trent, Harold, Scott, and Sky!" Chris announced as the campers skated onto the rink when they were named.
"You must feel really proud to be the only woman playing for our team." Harold suspected. "Kudos to you!"
"Thanks!" Sky smiled. "Hockey's actually one of my favorite sports next to gymnastics." She admitted. "I haven't actually played with a team but I think I've watched enough games to know what I'm doing." She said.
"Really? You've never played with a team?" Harold wondered.
"Nope." Sky shook her head. "Coach said he didn't want a girl on his hockey team."
Harold's eyes widened. "Are you serious? That's so blatantly sexist!" He exclaimed with fury.
"It's no big deal, really." Sky assured him, not wanting to make the situation bigger than it was. "I like watching the games anyway."
"Not cool." Harold shook his head.
(Outhouse Confessional – How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man!)
Harold- "As a huge equal rights activist, I have to say: if you're watching, Sky's coach, you should be ashamed!" He pointed an angry finger at the camera.
"And playing for Team Sisikwew, we have Eva, Izzy, Jasmine, Owen, Samey, and Cody!" Chris listed as they entered the rink.
"It's girl power vs brute strength!" Chris declared. "Find out who has the upper hand when we return!"
"Hey!" Owen and Cody exclaimed.

Chef, who was now dressed in a parka, tossed a puck onto the rink from his high-chair that overlooked the arena. The puck slid for a bit before coming to a stop in the center. Team Kihew had nominated Duncan and Team Sisikwew had nominated Jasmine to face off.
Chef blew his whistle and the two teens slapped their sticks together three times before the game was afoot.
"Haha!" Duncan grinned as he quickly knocked the puck away from the center before Jasmine could even react. The puck flew to the side to where Trent was standing.
"Whatever you do, don't slapshot it!" Duncan warned.
"What?" Trent asked right as he slapped it across the rink. Duncan just face-palmed.
The puck flew through the air like a guided missile and slammed right into the icy wall of Team Sisikwew's snow fort, causing Owen, who was guarding the goal, to flinch. The puck bounced off the wall and soared back across the rink, through Geoff's feet, and into Team Kihew's own goal.
"Dude..." Geoff gaped as an alarm sounded.
"Seriously?!" Duncan threw his hands up. "What did I tell you?!" He glared at Trent. "That's why you don't slapshot it!"
"I'm sorry!" The musician said defensively. "I already hit it before you told me not to!"
"Maybe try scoring in the other team's goal!" Leshawna hollered from atop their snow fort.
"A point for Team Sisikwew!" Chris grinned. "Things are already off to an amazing start!" He said with a chipper tone, earning an annoyed glare from Duncan and Trent.
Chef tossed the puck back into the center and this time it was Sky and Eva going head-to-head.
Sky hadn't really interacted a whole lot with Eva, but she knew she was a tough player and often had some anger management troubles. Despite this, she had to respect her for her athleticism.
The two girls stood squarely in the center of the rink, eyeing each other. Chef blew the whistle and the two clicked sticks three times before Eva quickly hit it towards her team.
The puck came to Cody who panicked and passed it to Samey like a hot potato. Samey was also in a good position so it worked out anyway. The cheerleader caught the puck with her stick and was about to pass it to Jasmine when she was nailed in the face with a snowball.
"Sorry, girl!" Leshawna shouted.
Scott laughed at the girl's misfortune but quickly got his comeuppance when Dawn launched a snowball at him, exploding on his face, leaving him covered in ash and melted snow.
Dawn merely smiled from Team Sisikwew's fort.
(Outhouse Confessional – Karma is a cruel, cruel mistress)
Dawn- "Normally I am a pacifist and am against harm to others but something about Scott just makes me very upset. He has no respect for others unless it benefits his game! Not only that but I caught him trying to hit a chipmunk with his hockey stick earlier." She shook his head.
Scott- "Lousy treehugger!" He muttered, cleaning his blackened face with a wet napkin. "Do you mind? I'm showering!" He snapped at the camera after a little while. [2]
Samey wiped the snow off of her face but Duncan had already snatched the puck from her. He advanced towards the other team's goal where Owen was guarding it accompanied by Izzy and Cody nearby.
Duncan flung the puck at the goal, trying to aim for a tiny gap that Owen didn't occupy. However, Izzy suddenly flew in and slammed the puck away with her stick, letting out a mad cackle. "GO BACK TO WENCE YOU CAME, FOWL DEMON!" She screeched.
"Okay, I swear, Izzy's on some kind of drugs today." Noah shook his head.
"Either that or she forgot to take her medication..." Scarlett remarked. Did Izzy even have medication? Probably. Did she take it everyday like she was supposed to? Probably not.
Duncan just gave her a weird look and turned around to find the puck sliding across the rink towards Geoff. The punk gave the party animal a stern look, mentally shouting at him. Luckily, Geoff was more competent than Trent and was able to keep the puck away from the goal.
Jasmine went in for the rebound and was about to hit it back when she was hit in the face with a snowball, knocking off her hat. "AAHH!" She cried, trying to get the snow off of her face.
Up on Team Kihew's fort, Courtney pumped a fist at her successful throw.
Duncan was about to go for the puck but Harold had already done it for him. "You better get this, nerd!" Duncan hollered at him.
(Outhouse Confessional – We're only half-way there, WHOOOOOAAA! SQUIDWARD ON A CHAIR!)
Duncan- "Positive reinforcement only makes them think they can do it, only to find out they can't. But, if you tell them they can't do it and you have no faith in them, nine times out of ten they'll want to prove you wrong and actually succeed." He said knowingly.
Harold hadn't lied when he said he was good at figure skating. The lanky nerd was skating across the rink, dodging anyone that tried to come at him, all while surprisingly keeping the puck within his grasp.
Cody tried snatch the puck away from him but Harold leaned far down and took the puck with him, avoiding the tech geek and coming to Owen and Izzy.
Izzy tried to wrestle him for the puck but Harold did a twirl, moving so fast that the redhead had no idea where the puck had gone with him.
After about the fifteenth revolution, Harold stopped and shot the puck right into the goal through Owen's legs.
Duncan, Owen, and most everyone else on the rink dropped their jaw. "Would you look at that!" Chris exclaimed in shock. "Harold scores a goal in the most show-off-y way possible!"
"Dude, that was amazing!" Geoff praised him.
"I gotta hand it to you, that was pretty good." Duncan nodded.
"Nice job, man." Trent put a hand on the geek's shoulder to congratulate him.
"Alright, alright, enough happy congratulating, lets get back to the game!" Chris instructed. "The score is currently 1 – 1!" He announced. "It's still anyone's game!"
"Obviously, the game just started." Noah rolled his eyes at the cheesy narration line.
After his impressive performance, Team Kihew put Harold up for the face-off while Team Sisikwew chose Izzy, mostly because she heavily insisted.
Izzy stared Harold in the eye squarely. She gave him a mischievous grin before Chef tossed the puck into the middle. The two teens clapped their sticks together as per usual and this time Harold got the upper hand, surprising Izzy.
This was clearly between the two redheads so everyone else but the goalies decided to stay out of their way. Harold skated with expert form, shooting across the ice right for Owen who looked utterly terrified.
"GET BACK HERE!" Izzy hollered, waving her stick in the air.
"Shouldn't she be getting a penalty for bringing her stick above her waist?" Sky wondered. "Oh wait, this is Total Drama, almost forgot." She remembered.
Harold pushed the puck forward with his stick bringing it up and flinging it forward. The puck slammed into Owen's girth and bounced back, flying into the air.
"Yes! Your thickness has saved us!" Izzy cheered, raising her stick triumphantly.
Unfortunately this was the exact wrong time to do this and the puck hit Izzy's stick, sling-shotting it back at Team Sisikwew's goal.
Not expecting this, Owen was completely unprepared and the puck flew right past his head and into the goal.
"I DON'T WANNA BE GOALIE ANYMORE!" Owen wailed.
"OH COME ON!" Izzy screamed, taking her stick and chucking it at the goal. The stick snapped in two upon hitting the thick, icy wall.
Chef blew his whistle and pointed behind him.
"Ooh, looks like Izzy's earned herself a penalty!" Chris translated. "Off to the penalty box with you!" He said. The camera did a quick pan over to the glass box where a large analog timer was set to six minutes.
Izzy pouted as she stormed over to the penalty box and sat inside with her arms crossed.
(Outhouse Confessional – To the happy jar with you!)
Sky- "Okay so I think I've figured out the penalty system. Anything's legal as long as you don't break the equipment. Probably because they paid good money for it. Sports equipment doesn't come cheap these days." She shook her head.
Harold was put back up for the face-off, so Team Sisikwew put their most capable player up against him: Jasmine. The two faced off and this time Jasmine managed to snag the puck first, earning a cheer of delight from Izzy in the penalty box, however you couldn't hear her as the glass was apparently sound-proof.
Jasmine tried to pass the puck to Eva but Duncan swooped in a stole it away. He skated forward, eventually passing it to Harold who was right by Team Sisikwew's goal.
From inside the penalty box Izzy was now freaking out, hopping up and down and screaming like a maniac.
Harold swept the puck right between Owen's feet again, scoring a third goal.
Izzy gripped her face, pulling it down in frustration. She then started screaming again, even pulling out a diagram of a donkey and pointing to it's rear. [3]
"Harold is on fire!" Chris declared. "The score is now 3 – 1 Team Kihew! Can Harold keep his team's streak? Will Team Sisikwew catch up? And will Izzy make it out of the penalty box or will she earn herself another penalty? Let's find out!"
"Oh, I thought he was gonna cut to commercial..." Courtney admitted after a little while.
"Nope! I'm changing things up on ya!" The host grinned. "You can never expect the unexpectedness that is me!"
Noah and Scarlett both simultaneously rolled their eyes.
For this round, Jasmine took up the role of goalie for Team Sisikwew while Geoff remained goalie for Team Kihew. With Izzy still in the penalty box for this round, Team Sisikwew was down a player.
Eva and Duncan faced off and Eva was able to fling the puck to the side first. Owen went in to snag it but was suddenly hit in the face with a snowball from atop Team Kihew's fort.
"AAHH! I've been blinded!" He cried, dropping his stick and stumbling about, trying to wipe the snow from his face.
Luckily, Samey skated in and dribbled the puck forward before Scott could snag it, causing the dirt farmer to continue sliding forward. off the rink and into a pile of snow.
(Outhouse Confessional – Cover your crystal eyes and let your tones bleed and blend with mine!)
Amy- "Don't get me wrong, I really wanted to chuck a snowball at her feet and make her slip, but we were losing and there's no way I'm letting my game rest in Scarlett's hand. Luckily someone from the other team fulfilled my request." She smiled.
Courtney lobbed a snowball down at Samey who was about to skate onto a ramp. The snowball landed right in front of her. When the cheerleader slid through the thickly-packed snow, her skates slowed and wobbled, causing her to fall flat on her face.
"Samey—I mean Sammy!" Cody yelled, quickly correcting himself. The nerd skated over to make sure his girlfriend was okay.
(Outhouse Confessional – Just a flick 'a the wrist!)
Cody- "I've really gotta get better at calling her Sammy and not Samey. She's called Samey so often that sometimes I forget it's a terrible nickname made up by her evil sister." He shook his head.
The puck was now free and everyone was going after it. Eva and Harold were the two main contenders followed closely by Owen and Trent.
Harold tried to send the puck flying across the rink and away from the crowd but Eva caught it with her stick and threw it forward.
Trent tried to go for it but was accidentally shoved aside by Owen. The chubby teen reached the puck and slapped it into Team Kihew's goal.
"And Team Sisikwew finally scores another goal!" Chris announced.
"Good on 'ya, mate!" Jasmine grinned at his success.
"Dude..."Geoff sighed.
"Dirt boy, get over here!" Duncan hollered. "You're goalie now!"
Scott just mumbled from the sidelines, his head still in the snow.
Eva returned for the face off and was now up against Harold as team Kihew believed he was their best player. Chef blew the whistle and the two foes clicked sticks.
Just as they finished the last stick-click, Harold was nailed in the face with a snowball before he could get to the puck. "Gosh! Way to ruin my shot!" He griped, wiping the snow off his face as Eva made off with the puck.
"Someone stop her!" Harold barked orders as he began to skate forward at a rapid pace . . . only to get nailed with another snowball to the face.
"Lay off, jerk!" Harold snapped, once again wiping the snow from his frigid face.
Not a second later and he was hit with yet another snowball. "I said lay off!" The nerd shouted, getting angry now. He formed a snowball in his hands and chucked it up at none other than Scarlett.
Surprisingly, the snowball made contact with her face, stunning the brainiac for a second. With the snow still on her face, she glared down at Harold. "So that's how he wants to play it." She said, wheeling over a mounted machine that looked like it was made of scrap parts.
The psychopath pressed a button on the back and the machine began firing automatically, reigning icy cold snowballs on Harold.
The nerd ducked behind an ice ramp and waited for the ammunition clip to end. When it finally did, he jumped up from behind the ramp wearing a taunting grin. "Ha! You missed!" He laughed.
There was a short pause before Harold heard the clear click of Scarlett reloading. Before he even had time to react, he was pelted with hundreds of snowballs at a time.
As Harold got assaulted by snowballs, Eva made her way to the goal. She had managed to brush off Trent and Geoff but was now faced with Sky and Duncan.
The weight-lifter looked for someone to lobby the puck to but only saw the punk and gymnast in her way.
There was a narrow opening between the two and Jasmine was on the other side of it. Eva went for the shot and tried to pass it but Sky slapped it out of the air, letting it skid back toward Team Sisikwew's goal.
Sky raced forward to try to advance with the puck before someone else went for it but Eva was already going for it. Luckily for the gymnast, her small stature allowed her to zip past Eva.
The temperamental teen watched Sky pass her and knew she had to make a move. Instead of chasing after Sky, she continued up one of the ramps and gained momentum. She shot off the ramp at lightning speed and hit the ice with a skid and managed to slide around and snag the puck before Sky could get it.
"Whoa..." Noah gasped, actually impressed by her skill.
Eva headed back toward Kihew's goal while Sky was unable to stop and kept sliding in the wrong direction.
Eva flew past Duncan and made a B-line for the goal. Scott cowered in fear as he saw the impending doom that was Eva coming straight for him.
"AAAHHH!" The dirt farmer wailed as Eva slapped the puck right into the goal with ease.
"And Sisikwew scores another point, tying it up at 3 points to 3!" Chris announced.
(Outhouse Confessional – Okay, seriously I don't even know what to put in these anymore)
Scott- "Have you ever realized how much E-Eva looks l-like a sh-sh-shark when she's barreling straight at you?" The schemer shivered in terror, curled up in a ball on the toilet seat.
The next round was set to start and Izzy had finally been let out of the penalty box. Despite having just been in the penalty box, she insisted upon doing the face-off.
After a quick check to make sure he was okay, team Kihew put Harold back up to the plate and although he was covered in round bruises, he claimed he was still able to perform.
"If you mess this up, you're dead." Duncan pointed a finger at him.
"At least I'm doing something, gosh!" Harold returned, to which the punk just rolled his eyes.
"This one's on you, it'll take at least this round to fill this thing back up!" Scarlett warned as she and Noah filled the machine with snowballs.
Jasmine nodded in understanding.
The whistle was blown and Harold and Izzy squared up. Harold snagged the puck first and flung to his right, sending it to Duncan.
However, Jasmine was ready for this and swooped in, stealing the puck away from him. The punk glared at the Aussie and raced after her.
"Yeah, criticize me." Harold scoffed at Duncan's failure.
No one had caught up to Jasmine yet but now she faced Scott and Geoff, neither of which proved to be very good at guarding anything.
Samey caught on to what Jasmine was planning and moved in to position. Jasmine shot the puck past Geoff who reached his stick out to try and stop it but to no avail.
The puck went right to Samey and the cheerleader went in for the goal. However, Scott was mentally prepared this time and blocked it with his thick goalie stick.
The puck bounced back but Jasmine swooped in for the rebound and shot it back in, this time succeeding.
"Come on!" Courtney snapped at her team, chucking a snowball down at the ground. "Ger your act together!"
"Hey, at least we're trying!" Trent hollered back.
Duncan stopped him. "Princess is right, we've got to score this one or we're done." He said. "Now it's all about positioning..." He began as he pulled his team into a huddle.
To Team Sisikwew's surprise, Duncan was put up to face-off for Team Kihew. He was up against Jasmine as Team Sisikwew believed she could certainly take the win.
Chef blew the whistle and the two clapped sticks. Duncan swiped the puck out from under Jasmine's stick and flung it directly behind him.
Harold caught it and began racing toward the goal.
Up above, Scarlett was prepared to begin raining snowballs on Harold once again. She flipped the switch but nothing happened. She glared at her invention and flipped the switch back and forth several times before it suddenly fizzled out. "Well isn't that just sensational." Scarlett muttered sarcastically.
Eva came after Harold and went to steal the puck from him but Harold was prepared. He swept the puck between Eva's feet and jumped over her stick, landing sharply back on the ice. He kept going but was quickly met by Samey and Cody with Jasmine right behind him.
The four scrambled in a mess of sticks with the puck at the center of it all. "Let go of it!" Harold shouted.
"Never!" Cody, Samey and Jasmine all shouted in unison.
Finally, the puck was shot out of the scuffle and skidded across the ice.
All four teens went for it but Sky was already there to snatch up the puck. She flung it at the goal but Owen was there to stop it.
Unfortunately when dived to stop it, he slipped and ended up falling flat on the ice, letting the puck sail right over his head and into the goal.
"And Sky scores the goal!" Chris exclaimed. "The score is now tied 4 – 4! Whoever scores the next one wins it all!"
"Nice job, dork!" Duncan grinned, "You really pulled through."
"But Sky was the one who-"
"Now all we need to do is score this next one and we're home free!" Duncan interrupted him.
"But before that, it's time for HALF TIME!" Chris announced.
"Um, shouldn't Half Time be, you know, in the middle of the game?" Noah raised an eyebrow.
"The ice needs to be zamboni'd." Chris shrugged. "And I figured y'all might want a quick breather break."
"Since when do you-" Courtney was about to say before Leshawna covered her mouth.
"He's givin' us a break, don't argue!" Leshawna snapped.
"So, clear the rink, go grab some water, use the bathroom, whatever." Chris shrugged.
He didn't have to tell them twice. The campers were off, most headed towards the communal washrooms.
"Gotta pee gotta pee gotta pee!" Harold cried, leading the charge.
"Huh, must've been those snowballs Scarlett fed him." Chris chuckled.
Scott laid on the ice. "Uuuuhhh, my head hurts." He moaned, clutching his forehead.
Soon, Chef neared on the Zamboni, polishing the ice behind him. "You'd better get out of the way or you're gonna get run over . . . in five minutes!" The cook hollered, shaking a fist at the dirt farmer. [4]
(Outhouse Confessional – I'm going to put a rock in this one!)
Amy- "Looks like this is gonna be close..." She bit her lip. "There's no way I'm giving up now. If we lose I'm toast! I've gotta think of a way to make sure Harold doesn't score..." She tapped her chin in thought. "And I think I just might have an idea..." She grinned wickedly.
The guys from Team Kihew gathered around Harold in the communal washrooms. The nerd had taken off the majority of his gear to get some air and was sitting on a bench.
"Lets go!" Geoff whooped. "Aw man, this really takes me back to high school hockey." He grinned.
"Just keep up you and your figure skating skills and we'll be golden." Duncan told him as the figure skater took a swig of water.
"We should probably get back to the rink, knowing Chris our break probably only lasts like three minutes." Trent rolled his eyes.
"Good call." Duncan nodded. "We'll talk strategy with the rest of the team."
"I'm gonna quick use the bathroom." Harold said, gesturing to one of the stalls behind him.
"Alright, see ya' there dude." Geoff waved as they left.
Harold whistled as he entered the stall. Once the door to the stall closed, the washroom door slowly opened with a slight creek and Amy peeked her head in to make sure no one was there. She heard Harold whistling in his stall and tiptoed over to the bench where his hockey gear was.
The cheerleader pulled out a screwdriver and began unscrewing the bolts on Harold's skates just enough that the blade stayed connected to the boot.
Suddenly the toilet flushed and Amy looked up in fear. She quickly tiptoed out of the washrooms as Harold pulled up his pants and opened the door. When he came out, the cheerleader was gone.
(Outhouse Confessional – AU fanfiction anyone?)
Amy- "Okay that was a close one." She breathed. "And it smelled awful in there." She gagged. "Almost worse than this crap package..." She plugged her nose, looking up at the flies buzzing around her.
"Mmhm." Izzy nodded, pacing back and forth. "Well put general." The camera panned over to a general built entirely out of snow.
"We'll create a surprise military diversion and break through enemy lines!" Izzy presented. "What say you?" She turned to the snow general who's face started to melt. "Yes! We shall ready ourselves immediately!" She declared. [5]
"Umm..." Noah just stared at the nonsense with Scarlett by his side.
"Sometimes it's better not to question." Scarlett shook her head. "Come, we've got to try to get the automatic snowball machine working for this last round." She waved for him to follow her.

"Alright, final game! Whoever scores this goal is the winner!" Chris announced. "Chef?" He cued the cook.
Chef blew his whistle and the two foes were up. Naturally, it was Harold vs Jasmine. The two clicked sticks three times and this time Jasmine snatched the puck first. The sent it to the side where Eva caught it.
The temperamental teen rushed forward, dribbling the puck back and forth. It wasn't long before Sky and Trent were on her.
Trent tried to slap the puck away but Izzy came in for the rescue, catching it before it drifted too far. With a wild battle-cry, the redhead slapshotted the puck across the ice. The projectile flew up a ramp and into the air, headed for Team Kihew's goal.
Harold swooped in however and slapped the puck out of the air and onto the ice. The nerd saw Jasmine coming at him out of the corner of his eye and quickly passed the puck to Sky.
The small gymnast raced across the ice as just about anyone who wasn't goalie came after her. As a last ditch effort before everyone closed in, Sky shot the puck towards the goal but Owen was there to stop it.
The tubby teen shoved the puck away, letting it drift away from everyone else.
Harold spotted the puck and went for it but Samey saw it too.
The two wrestled for the puck and soon Cody and Sky joined in. After some more scrambling, Sky fended off Cody and Samey's sticks, allowing Harold to make off with the puck.
"You can do it, Harold!" Courtney cheered from atop their snow fort.
"Stop him!" Amy shouted, chucking a snowball down at the nerd. It missed by several yards.
Scarlett predicted where Harold would go next and dropped a snowball there. However, Harold saw it coming and swerved out of the way.
Across the rink, Courtney and Leshawna were keeping Jasmine and Izzy at bay with their snowballs.
It was now Harold with Eva close behind him. The nerd went up a ramp, going for the big shot. He neared the top of it when suddenly the blades on his skates came loose and fell off, causing him to fly wildly through the air and land face first on the ice.
"Ooh!" Chris winced. "That's gonna leave a mark..."
Eva ignored the injured dork and stole the puck, circling back towards Kihew's goal.
Scarlet, Noah, Amy, and Dawn cheered from above as the athlete zoomed across the ice, no one able to stop her. She came to the goal and with one fell swoop, she slapped the puck into the goal, right past Scott's head who had actually tried to block it this time.
A loud buzzer sounded and the game was over. "And it looks like Eva scores the winning goal for Wahwakamiw Sisikwew!" Chris announced. "That means I'll be seeing Sowahkeyiw Kihew at elimination tonight!"
Team Kihew groaned. "What happened?" Sky asked Harold as she skated over to him.
"I have no clue!" The nerd exclaimed. "I was about to go for the goal when the screws fell off of my skates!" He said as Trent came by with the blades from his skates. "Gosh! You couldn't have gone for less cheap skates?" He accused Chris.
The host shrugged. "We spent good money on those." He told Harold. "Either we got stiffed or you just pushed them too hard."
"That's bogus!" Harold frowned.
"So who's it gonna be?" Geoff wondered as the guys met in the washrooms. "Who bit it the biggest?"
"Well I'd say it was pro figure skater over here, but he's not the priority." Duncan said, jabbing a thumb back at Harold.
"It wasn't my fault, gosh!" He protested.
"Who cares who's fault it was. The point is, we're voting for Sky tonight. She's an easy vote and no one has any ties with her." Duncan shrugged.
"Yes!" Dave cheered. "Finally! At last! VENGEANCE!" He shouted, raising both his fists.
"Whoa, calm down, psycho." Duncan put his hands up defensively. "There's five of us and we need one more vote to have the majority."
"We could just make it easy and get Scott to vote with us." Trent suggested.
"Ugh." Duncan repulsed at the thought. "Fine, we can use him but there's no way he's joining the alliance. Just tell him everyone's voting for her."
"Will do." Trent nodded.

"There you are!" Sky breathed a sigh of relief as she found Courtney in the cabin. "I think I'm ready to take you up on your alliance offer." She said. "I have this itching feeling that the guys are voting for me."
Courtney sat up. "Hmm...I might be able to help you out." She beamed. "Just to be clear you're accepting my alliance offer?"
"Yes, yes I am." Sky nodded.
"Okay," The CIT grinned, eager to talk strategy, "So I bet I can manipulate Scott and Duncan into voting for Dave and then we can get the rest of the girls in on it too-"
"Um, I don't want to vote out Dave." Sky cut her off.
"What? But what about our talk? I told you getting rid of him will solve your problems!" Courtney reminded her.
"I know but...I want to solve it in a dignified manner. Things ended really badly last time because of miscommunication."
"But he'll just ignore you!" Courtney continued.
"I'll find away to get through his thick...very thick skull." Sky sighed.
"Well then who are we going to vote for?" Courtney wondered. "The only other person I can think of is Harold. He totally screwed up the win."
"But that wasn't his fault. Wouldn't that be kind of mean?" Sky bit her lip.
"I know you're all nice and good sportsmanship, but in this game sometimes you have to get mean." Courtney informed her. "That's the only way you can be the sole winner."
Sky sighed. "You're right. And I guess I don't really have any ties with him. Let's do it." She nodded.
"Okay, this might be tricky. We're going to need six votes to be sure. There's already you and me and hopefully Scott and Duncan, but that leaves two more votes. Bridgette will vote with us, but would Leshawna vote for Harold?"
"Are they dating?" Sky wondered. "It's always so hard to tell."
"I don't think she would. So how are we going to make sure she doesn't vote for you?" Courtney tapped her chin in thought.
"Well, I have an idea but you're not gonna like it." Sky told her.
"What is it?"
"Well, we could get Leshawna to vote for you, and then the guys would be voting for me, and then we vote for Harold." Sky said. "If I have the numbering correct."
Courtney stopped think for a minute. "I think that could work!" She nodded. "And while I'm not too keen on getting a vote, if it's just Leshawna we should be good."
"I'll tell Leshawna we're voting for you." Sky said.
"And I'll get Duncan and Scott to vote for Harold." Courtney grinned.
The fire illuminated the elimination ceremony, giving off an eerie vibe. "Here on this plate I have nine marshmallows." Chris told them. "One of you won't be getting one. When I call your name, come get your marshmallow."
Everyone looked tense. There were a lot of strategies up in the air and right now it was a matter of which one would work.
"Geoff, Bridgette." Chris called. The two lovers eagerly ran up to get their marshmallows and shared a kiss when they sat down.
"Duncan and Trent!" The two guys grinned and went to get their marshmallows.
"Scott, Leshawna and Dave!" Chris finished up. All three took their marshmallows with delight. Dave had an especially eager grin on his face.
"And now to the final three." Chris said, holding up the tray with only two more marshmallows. ". . . Courtney."
The CIT breathed a sigh of relief. She went up to get her marshmallow and sat down, hoping Sky would join her with the fluffy treat.
"And the last marshmallow goes to . . ."

"Sky." The host flung the marshmallow to the gymnast who caught it with a look of sheer relief.
"What?!" Harold stood up in shock. "Why am I being voted out for something I can't control?"
No one responded.
"Gosh, why do I always get teamed with a bunch of jerks." He pouted as he stormed off to the Boot of Shame.
(Outhouse Confessional – Come little children, I'll take thee away, into a land of enchantment)
Duncan- "So the princess got me to vote for Harold. Big deal, he was expendable. As much as I hate to say it, all we have to do it rope in Scott into the alliance and we'll be on top again." He shrugged.
Sky- "That was so stressful!" She exclaimed. "I think my heart nearly skipped a beat when he gave me the marshmallow. Now I know I can trust Courtney."
Courtney- "Yes! The plan worked! Now that I have Sky as an ally, I have a powerful threesome for the merge." She clenched her fist in triumph.
Harold crossed his arms in irritation as he stood on the Red X. "Any last words that aren't about our faulty equipment?" Chris asked. Harold was about to open his mouth when the host pressed the button. "Just kidding! I don't care." He laughed as the boot swung down and kicked the nerd into the far beyond.
"It's now 19 contestants and counting!" The host looked to the camera. "How will Jasmine and Eva deal with Scarlett's sneaky work behind the scenes? Will the guy's alliance prevail? And will we ever understand the inner workings of Izzy's mind?" Just as he said this, the redhead did cartwheels in the background, spouting gibberish. "Yup, never mind I don't wanna know what goes on in there." He shook his head. "But find out the answers to those other questions next time, on Total...Drama...Unfinished Business!" Chris finished.

Reason: So I don't know if any of you were Harold super-fans or were hoping he'd go further but if you were sorry! I wasn't quite sure who to eliminate this episode but then the whole scenario came into my head and I liked it. Harold was one where I wasn't sure when he'd go but I didn't have much planned for him so I guess now was as good a time as any. He's not particularly my favorite character, he actually annoys me sometimes, but he was pretty fun to write and I think I did well portraying his Napoleon Dynamite persona.

[1]- A lot of you requested I fit this into my story and here it is! It's pretty dang weird but Izzy's also pretty dang weird so I guess it works.
[2]- This was a funny little quote from an episode of the Loud House. One I didn't particularly like but I the little joke at the end was pretty funny so I decided to use it.
[3]- This was from a scene in the new Horton Hears a Who movie. The movie wasn't that spectacular but this adult gag was hilarious so I decided to put it in with none other than Izzy.
[4]- If any of you watched the Deadpool movie you might recall this little scene. The gag was funny so I decided to use it here because it worked so well with Chef shouting it.
[5]- Taken right out of the Spongebob episode "Sand Castles in the Sand" (Arguably one of the better episodes of Season 6). It worked too well not to be used, I just formatted it to snow rather than sand.

Next: Dungeons, Dungeons, and some dragons I guess.
