HELLO PEOPLE! CHAPTER 7 IS OUT. BIG THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE WHO'S READING THIS FIC. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND I HOPE YOU'LL LIKE THE CHAPTER COMING IN THE FUTURE AS WELL. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET'S DIVE IN.
I DO NOT OWN TOTAL DRAMA OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS.
"Last time on Total Drama Mayhem…
The campers had to survive a night with venomous snakes and rabbids. While some were able to survive, others… not so much. Dakota and Heather hatched a plan to separate one of total drama's tightest couples, Bridgette and Geoff. Man, those girls have more venom than those snakes. Haha! The bulls won the challenge and quite obviously it was Geoff who was eliminated. In the meantime Lightning became unconscious, getting "bitten" by a certain something. So both the dudes were kicked out of the island. What will we see in today's challenge? Who's getting the boot? Find out right here, right now on TOTAL… DRAMA… MAYHEM!
It was 1 pm. In about half an hour or so, it would be time for lunch. Courtney was walking around her cabin with her PDA, the same one she had in TDA. She tried calling her lawyers.
"I swear. These guys don't pick up when I need them" said a frustrated Courtney.
"Please leave a voice mail after the beep."
"Michael! You told me you'd sue Chris before he starts another season. GET ON WITH IT!"
She cut the call and started doing something else in it.
Heather walked behind the cabin and found Courtney.
"Hey CIT!"
Courtney turned around and on seeing Heather, she rolled her eyes, "What do you want?"
"I wanted to ask you about what you deci..…. Wait. Is that the PDA bullshit you had in Action?"
"Yup and don't even think about using it" Courtney replied.
"I don't need your stupid toy to keep me in the game" Heather said, "But lemme give you some advice. Throw it away."
"What? No way!" Courtney retaliated holding it up, "You just wanna gain advantage using it. Even if I throw it you'll take it somehow."
Heather pinched her nose bridge, "Give it to me!" she shouted and snatched the PDA from Courtney.
"Hey! Give me back my Personal Digital Assistant!" she demanded.
"No way. This thing's more like Personal Digital… uh….. Apeshit. You the only thing you did with this?"
Heather cleared her throat.
"Let me call my lawyers blah blah blah…." Heather said imitating Courtney. "This was the sole reason you didn't win TDA. All you could think about was lawyers."
"Not true!"
"Oh please. I saw how obsessed you were. You jumped off a waterfall trying to get it back. How dumb were you?"
Courtney thought about it for a few seconds, then sighed. "I… guess you're right."
"Don't guess. I am right. And there's only one way to get you outta this" Heather said as she dropped the PDA, took a big enough rock and smashed it. It broke into hundreds of pieces.
"There. That's over" Heather clapped the dust off her palms, "Now, what have you decided? You wanna team up?"
Confessional: Courtney
"I never believed that I would say this but…. Heather's right. That thing really robbed me in TDA. And right now what I need is an alliance. And I guess I'll have to do it with uh…. Heather."
End Confessional: Courtney
"Alright fine. We'll team up."
"Great" Heather smirked.
"And no backstabbing. Hear that" Courtney said.
Heather nodded, "And no losing challenges on purpose."
"I never lost a challenge on purpose" Courtney debated.
"Yeah right. You disgust me already" Heather said giving out a hand.
"You think I'm comfortable" Courtney said as she shook hands with Heather.
Confessional: Heather
"I think this is gonna be a pretty bumpy alliance" she sighed, "Anyway she's a good player. Hopefully we can pull through."
End Confessional: Heather
Meanwhile at the beach, Chris and Chef were standing beneath a tree while the interns loaded crates and boxes of rabbids and snakes onto the boat of losers.
Kyle dropped a box by mistake. Chef saw him and shouted through his megaphone.
"Hey You! Be careful with the boxes. If we get fined for damaging their property, you're gonna pay them. Not us. Am I clear?"
"But how can we pay if we don't have any money? It's not like you pay us or anything" Kyle debated.
"What did you just say to me boy! You wanna repeat it" Chef shouted at his face.
"No Sir!" Kyle said.
"Good. So shut up and get back to work!"
"Yes Sir!" Kyle saluted as he picked up the box. Chef smirked.
"So Cheffo. How many boxes do we have left?" Chris asked.
Chef looked at his writing pad.
"We had 60 rabbids, we packed 'em in 3 boxes of 20 each and the snakes, we had 50 of them. We have 5 crates of 10 each. So 1 more crate to load" Chef explained, then he turned to Glenn, "Yo Glenn! Pick the last crate!" Glenn gave a thumbs up and loaded it.
"Alright that's done" Chris said as he waved to the boat.
"Man I knew we shouldn't have put his crate with the rabbids and the snakes" Chef said.
"I told you to. You didn't listen. Now he's out there somewhere in the forest. And he poisoned that Lightning kid" Chris said as he bent forward to tie his shoelace.
"Yeah and…. whoa! What was that!" Chef shouted as something zoomed past him and hit the bark of the tree they were standing under. If Chris hadn't bent down, it would've surely hit him.
Chef turned around to see where it came from. But he saw nothing. Then he turned back to Chris and looked at the tree.
"Poison darts?" Chef said as he took it, "Who's tryna poison you?"
"Who wouldn't try to poison me. I'm famous and rich. Isn't that reason enough?" Chris said. Chef rolled his eyes.
"My guess, that guy's coming for you man" Chef told Chris, "you better be careful."
"No way am I giving myself to him" Chris replied, "Anyway time for lunch." The two men then walked to the mess hall.
A shadow was seen from the place the dart was shot. It was clearly a human shadow. It clenched its right fist indicating its anger.
In the Tigers female cabin, Eva was in bed with her earbuds plugged in and was taking an athlete's rest from all of the morning drills. Jo was in the communals, Dawn and Katie were talking to each other while Zoey was busy making something sitting on her bunk.
"So when did you start all this aura reading stuff?" an excited Katie asked.
"Well I guess when I was 11 or 12, my mom told me about how different people have different colours or energies radiating from their bodies. I didn't believe her at first. But then she told me a way to look at other's aura. And then when I saw it for the first time, I didn't look back. I researched and I got a feeling of peace inside me" Dawn elaborated.
"That's so cool. Could you check my aura? Please" Katie pleaded.
Dawn saw that she was excited and she didn't have any bad intentions so she nodded. But at that time Chris announced.
"Campers! Your lunch is ready. Get your butts down to the mess hall!"
"We'll do it later ok" Dawn said. Katie nodded. Zoey put the thing she was making in her pocket and jumped down from her bunk. Dawn woke Eva up and the girls exited the cabin.
Zoey walked a bit behind of the other three girls, Dawn saw her and slowed down to join her.
"So Zoey…. Have you found the person?" the blonde asked.
"Oh that. Um… no. Do you really think there's someone like that?"
"I told you already that the person's in camp. Just stop" she said as they stopped walking. Dawn looked at Zoey, then closed her eyes holding the redhead's palm.
"Well, my senses tell me that you'll find the person in the near future. Maybe even today."
"But how will I know who it is?" Zoey asked.
"You'll feel it" Dawn replied. Zoey was a little confused, but she didn't want to bother her more questions.
Mess Hall:
The mess hall looked the same as usual. But there was one scene that took everyone's eyes off their food. Leshawna's hair. It became an afro. Like the way it was in TDA, whenever her hair touched water.
Everyone laughed so hard seeing her, especially Heather and Dakota. Dakota even fell off her seat laughing. Leshawna had her angry expression pasted on her face and was sitting arms crossed. That time the male bulls entered the mess hall.
"Holy Cow! The hell happened?" Owen asked.
Leshawna, being in the bad mood she was, took his concern otherwise, "Did you just call me a cow! Oh you are going down!" She stood up about to barge at him. But Gwen calmed her down.
"I said holy cow as in like saying 'Oh Shit' " Owen explained.
Now Harold went and sat next to her. He waited for a few moments and asked with genuine concern.
"Hey what's wrong? What happened?"
"Someone emptied my hair spray and put water in it" she said looking at Dakota.
Confessional: Dakota
"What?" she tried holding her smile but failed, "HAHAHAHA! She looks so hilarious. That prank was worth it."
End Confessional: Dakota
"That's not cool Dakota" Cody said.
"I didn't do it" the blonde lied. It was clear from Cody's expression that he didn't believe her.
Confessional: Cody
"When you try to lie to someone, you should know how to hide the suspicion as well. Dakota just gave it away"
End Confessional: Cody
"Hey, diggin' a new hairstyle I see" Duncan said pointing at the afro. The next moment, his face was covered with Chef's slop-thrown by Gwen.
"I hope you're diggin' that look dipshit" Leshawna shouted at Duncan. Gwen, Harold and Courtney giggled.
"Yeah… I deserved that" the punk said as he walked to his table and took a seat next to DJ.
"You'll need this I assume" Zoey, sitting opposite to him, said as she tossed a towel to Duncan. He caught it and wiped his face.
Mike came and sat next to Zoey. Suddenly her face beamed.
"Mike! I made something for you!"
He turned to her as she took a locket, shaped like a heart, from her pocket. She opened the locket showing its inside. It had Mike's picture on one side and Zoey's picture on the other side.
"You like it?" she asked hopefully.
Mike just looked at it without any interest, "Eh… it's fine but not great. You could've worked on the heart's design. Anyway just give it to me" he took it from her and shoved it in his pocket.
"You didn't like it?" she asked, a bit disappointed.
Mike got up, "Lemme go grab a drink ok."
Zoey just looked on as he walked. She looked down, her eyes a little watery but didn't let a tear to fall.
Confessional: Zoey
"What's going on? Mike's never talked to me like that" she looked down again, "He is feeling fine right? *sighs* I really need to find a person to talk to about this."
End Confessional: Zoey
Duncan was watching all this from the other side of the table.
"It's not any of my problems. So chuck it. Don't think about it" he thought.
At that time moment Zoey let out a tear, losing a fight to hold it in.
"AH… Crap! I can't. I gotta help her" he thought.
"Hey campers. Enjoying your slop?" Chris said coming from the kitchen.
"Couldn't have asked for anything better" Bridgette said sarcastically.
"Glad you like it. By the way, nice hair do" he said pointing at Leshawna's.
"You wanna piece of me Mclean" she stormed.
Chris raised both his hands, "Nah. It's cool. Don't wanna fight with anyone with a bad hair day."
Leshawna growled. She was about to get up and thrash the host. Courtney held her back.
"Leshawna! Control your temper" she said.
"She's an animal outta control. No one can stop her" Heather smirked.
"I'm gonna go all stampede on you queenie, if you don't shut the hell up" Leshawna shouted.
"She's gonna be of great help with that attitude" Scott told the male bulls. They just nodded.
"Alright campers, finish your chow and meet me at the beach in ten" Chris said as he left the hall.
The campers finished off their breakfast and were walking to the beach. Cody walked up to Bridgette, Leshawna and Gwen.
"Hello ladies. May I take some time off you?"
"Shoot away short stuff" Leshwana said trying to press her hair down. It just sprung up again, much to her annoyance.
"Yeah…. So, what do you all think of Dakota?" he asked.
Leshawna suddenly got triggered and caught him by the collar, "What do you want boy? You tryna trigger me again!"
"No! No! I would never do that" he said holding both his hands up.
"Leshawna, put him down" Bridgette said as she left his collar. "What did you actually mean Cody?" the surfer girl asked.
"Listen…. We all know Dakota pranked you. She's up to something" Cody explained, "She wasn't like this in Revenge of The Island."
"Your right. I did feel she was acting differently this season" Gwen said, "So we can't guess what's in her mind."
"So…. We vote her off? If we lose that is" Bridgette said.
"Bingo" Gwen replied.
At the beach:
"Welcome to the beach, campers" the host greeted.
"Jeez thanks. I had to check my GPS to know where I am" Noah said.
"You won't have any signal anyway. So there's no use of your GPS" Chris said. Noah facepalmed.
"Before we move on to the challenge, I have an announcement to make" the host continued, "From now on I won't be using any kind of poison related challenges, no mutated animals, nothing extremely dangerous."
The campers cheered. "For real?" Owen asked in excitement.
"Yup. But challenges won't be easy. It'll be hard but not super extreme. I promise" Chris said, "I've seen that I went kinda overboard in the last two or three seasons."
"Kinda overboard?" Courtney asked crossing her hands.
"Ok fine" Chris replied, "Now, on to the challenge. You might find this challenge quite similar to the finale of All Stars."
"So we're all gonna be in balloons?" Gwen asked.
"Yes, but not all of you. 9 campers from each team will get inside these balloons. The other 4 will be riding these canoes" Chris explained pointing to the 8 wooden canoes tied to the dock of shame. He picked up a bow and an arrow from one of the canoes, "In each of these canoes there is a bow and several arrows. The campers in the canoes, who will be selected by me from this lot, will use these arrows to strike the balloons in the air."
"And we are gonna be in those balloons. So, like won't we get killed?" Tyler asked concerned.
"Don't worry. They won't. The arrows are designed in such a way that on striking the very first obstacle, it will lose all the kinetic energy it has, thus bursting only the balloon and going no more forward" Chris elaborated.
Tyler was scratching his head. He was looking around confused.
"You won't get killed" Noah said patting his back.
"Oh ok. Thanks man."
"If you wanna answer Tyler, use only a maximum of four words" Noah said. Everyone giggled.
"Okay. Anyway before moving on, let's select the paddlers" Chris said as he picked up 4 names from the Tigers' lot and Chef did the same from the Bulls' lot.
"Wait, didn't you have a big screen thing here?" Justin asked.
Chris looked up, "Oh yeah. I forgot. I took a lot of my precious time in writing your names in these things. Why didn't you remind me?" the host nudged Chef.
"You gotta do some work around here" Chef smirked.
Chris rolled his eyes, "I'll deal with that later. So the paddlers for the Tigers are- Katie, Duncan, Jo and Mike." The four campers moved to the canoes.
Chef read the bulls' paddlers, "afro girl, bossy CIT, short geeky boy and Al."
Leshawna, Courtney, Cody and Alejandro also took their places in front of their respective canoes.
"So the rest of you are gonna be inside these balloons" Chris showed 9 each of orange and purple balloons, "Orange for Tigers, purple for the bulls. The paddlers of the tigers will target the purple ones and bulls will shoot down the orange ones. The campers in the balloons can move and dodge the incoming arrows. Make sure you don't fly away cuz I ain't gonna get you. Whichever team has more number of balloon campers remaining wins. Clear?"
Everyone nodded. "If you fall in the water, you're out. The paddlers also include in this."
"What?!" the 8 paddlers shouted.
"That's the rule. And to make it a bit more interesting, our man Chef will be in his own inflatable canoe with his dodgeball launcher, to create a few distractions." Chef loaded his canoe with dodgeballs and loaded his launcher as well. Then he smirked. The campers gulped.
Confessional: Leshawna
She massaged her forehead, "This day just can't get any better. This hair, the comments and now dodgeballs. Just great."
End Confessional: Leshawna
The remaining nine campers from each team got into their balloons. They slowly rose up to the sky. The paddlers got into their canoes as the interns untied the ropes. Chef got into his canoe with his launcher and rowed.
Chris picked up his loudspeaker, "Alright, so everything's in place. Challenge starts in 3… 2… 1… GO!"
The paddlers of each team scattered across the ocean waters. Katie and Jo rushed to the middle of the ocean. Duncan went westward while Mike took east. Alejandro followed Duncan while Courtney and Cody went somewhere between Mike and Jo. Leshawna paddled to a spot where Chef couldn't hit her.
Jo was targeting Scott mainly. The bald farmboy dodged the first two arrows. But the third arrow was a near miss. The arrow just scraped the surface of the balloon.
"I'll get you dirtboy" Jo shouted as she aimed at him. Scott smirked.
"Yeah right. Go on and try boy."
Jo got triggered and sent an arrow at his balloon. It went straight for him. There was no escaping that. Jo grinned. But before it could burst his balloon, it was deflected by a dodgeball launched by Chef.
She glared at Chef, "WHY YOU!" Chef just smirked and blew on his launcher. Now he aimed at her, "Your turn girl…. or whatever you are."
Jo paddled away from Chef as fast as she could and stopped when the coast was clear.
She took her bow and arrow and aimed to the sky. She scanned the balloons. This time she aimed at Sierra. The Uber fan started to run inside her balloon making it move in the direction she was running.
"Stay still you wimp!" she shouted losing her aim. The jock thought for a few seconds, then aimed to the direction in front of where Sierra was moving and shot. She burst that balloon cleanly.
"Oooh yeah!" she pumped her fists in excitement.
Sierra fell from thousand feet into the deep ocean water, right next to Cody's canoe.
"Sierra!" Cody shouted. After a second or two, she resurfaced back and saw Cody.
"Codykins! I fell right next to you! This is sooo awesome" she said excitedly.
"Yeah, awesome" he replied awkwardly.
"Cody, what did you want to tell me last challenge? That stupid snake ruined that moment."
"Can it wait till this challenge is over?" he asked.
"Oh c'mon Cody. Pleeeaaassee? Please?" she pleaded giving puppy dog eyes.
Cody just couldn't say 'no' to that, "Oh okay. I wanted to say that I…." suddenly Sierra saw Chef launching a dodgeball at Cody. She caught it and threw it back at Chef.
"NOT NOW CHEF! I MISSED IT ONCE! I'M NOT MISSING IT AGAIN!" Sierra growled in anger.
Chef's mouth went wide open and he paddled away.
Suddenly she changed her mood and turned back to Cody, "Ok. Now complete it Cod…."
Before she could finish, he pulled her close to him and enveloped her lips with his. Sierra was caught by surprise at first, but slowly closed her eyes and leaned in. They held on for a few seconds and let go. They let their foreheads meet.
"I couldn't ask for anyone better than you. You're always there for me. And from now on I'm gonna reciprocate that. I love you Sierra."
"I love you too Codykins" she said as they hugged each other.
Gwen, Bridgette, Zoey and Leshawna cheered for the couple while Noah and Harold smiled.
DJ clapped, "Oh so beautiful. I think I'm gonna cry." Owen, on the other hand wiped a tear from his left eye as he stuffed popcorn in his mouth.
Noah looked at him confused, "Where the hell did he get popcorn?"
Confessional: Owen
"I always carry a snack in my pants" he paused, "No! NO! I meant in my underwear. No wait that came out wrong again. I meant in my….."
End Confessional: Owen
Confessional: Sierra
"BEST DAY EVER! Cody kissed me. SO AMAZING! MY DREAM HAS COME TRUE! I don't care if I don't win the money. I got CODY!"
End Confessional: Sierra
"Enough with the lovey-dovey you two. We're in between a challenge" Courtney said shooting an arrow towards Dawn's balloon but missing it.
"You're right. Meet you later Sierra" Cody said as Sierra swam to the shore.
Cody paddled towards Courtney and shot an arrow at Dawn's balloon. This time it hit it perfectly bursting it and sending her in water.
"Bulls' eye!" the geek cheered.
"Nice shot" Courtney commented as they high fived.
On the other side, Chef paddled behind Jo and knocked her off her canoe with his launcher.
"Not so tough now are you" Chef said smirking.
"I'll get you one day Hatchet" Jo said.
"Try all you want Jo" Chef challenged. Jo screamed and swam to shore.
Confessional: Jo
"Chef! Beware, I will get you" she pointed at the camera, "Mark my words. I WILL GET YOU!"
End Confessional: Jo
Duncan shot 3 arrows continuously at Izzy, but she continued dodging them by jumping randomly inside the balloon.
"HAHAHAHA! Try, try but you'll never succeed Duncan. You're no match for E-scope" Izzy shouted.
Duncan shot one more arrow and yet again she jumped to the right. He growled and bent down to take his next arrow. But at the very next instant, he got splashed.
"What the hell?!"
He looked to the ocean and he saw Izzy coming to the surface.
"Haha! Explosivo cannoned all over you. BOOOOOM!"
"Huh? How did you fall? I didn't hit you" he asked.
"Yeah she did" Izzy pointed with her thumb. Duncan looked to where Izzy was pointing and saw Katie. When Katie paddled closer, the punk asked with an impressed look,
"How? How did you take her down?"
"I have archery skills" she replied.
"That explains it but I'm sure you didn't have any training to deal with something like her" the punk said pointing at Izzy. Katie chuckled.
Confessional: Katie
"I have archery skills because I learnt it. And believe me, I had rigorous training. I guess it's time that I stand up on my own feet."
End Confessional: Katie
"Time for E-scope to go back to shore" Izzy said as she swam back.
Alejandro was behind Tyler's balloon. The jock dodged most of the arrows somehow. The Spaniard shot another arrow so accurately that it would pierce the balloon. But at the last second Tyler's balloon was hit by Chef's dodgeball thus moving it away from the path of Alejandro's incoming arrow.
"You missed him, Spanish boy" Chef said holding up his launcher.
Alejandro smirked, "Good aim Chef. But I don't think it's better than mine." He took another arrow and shot towards behind him still looking at Chef who was in front of him.
The arrow rocketed towards Tyler, bursting his balloon and he ended getting all wet in the ocean.
Chef looked impressed and clapped seeing his feat. The Spaniard bowed to the appreciation he received, but got hit by Chef on his shoulder the next moment with a dodgeball. But he didn't get knocked off his canoe.
"My aim's always the best boy. HAHA!" he laughed and paddled away.
Alejandro held his shoulder in pain, "Uh….. El Bastardo!"
Chris announced in his megaphone, "Alright. Current score is 2-2. But the Tigers' are one paddler down" he looked toward Jo and laughed, "I thought you were an athlete. HAHA!"
"Zip it Mclean!" Jo warned.
In the meantime, Leshawna and Mike had paddled to the middle of the water body to move away from Chef.
Leshawna shot an arrow targeting Noah. But it was deflected by Mike using his own arrow. Leshawna looked at him but let it go. She shot at the bookworm for a second time and yet again it was deflected by Mike. He grinned. Now Leshawna lost it.
"BOY! What is wrong with you? I didn't try to deflect your arrows. If you're tryna pick on me, well boy you better not. I'm going through a lot today. So don't mess with me."
Confessional: Mike/Mal
"Oh is it so? You've gone through a lot today?" he rubbed his palms, "Thank you for that detail."
End Confessional: Mike/Mal
"Okay, sorry" he apologized.
"Aight. That's good for you then sugar."
By this time Noah floated away. Leshawna turned around to see DJ in her range.
"Oh so big marshmallow's my prey" she smiled as she shot the arrow. DJ saw the arrow pretty late so he didn't have time to react. The arrow burst the balloon and the brickhouse fell into the water. After 2 seconds he resurfaced.
"Sorry brother. I had to do it" Leshawna said.
"It's all cool" he replied as he went back to shore. During this exchange, Mike shot an arrow at Leshawna's canoe, without her noticing, and made a hole in it. Then he aimed towards Dakota's balloon and burst it with his arrow.
The blonde fell in front of Leshawna's canoe splashing water into her canoe. It started taking in more and more water and the canoe was slowly going down.
"Is it just me or am I getting eaten up by the ocean" she said.
"I think it's because of that" Mike acted pointing to the hole. Dakota resurfaced and saw the hole.
"There wasn't a hole there before" Leshawna said.
"I guess you should know that if you eat too much, you can create holes" Dakota commented.
The canoe sunk fully and Leshawna launched herself at the blonde holding her head and thrusting it into the water.
"Hey hey! You can't murder people" Chris shouted, "Do it some place other than here. I don't want any lawsuits again."
Leshawna let her go and Dakota came back up gasping for air. Then the two ladies swam back to the sands.
Confessional: Dakota
Still gasping, "I guess…. I went too…. too far with Leshawna. She's a threat to my life….. I'll pick on someone else now"
End Confessional: Dakota
Courtney and Cody worked together and after a long chase, they managed to burst Harold's balloon making the ginger geek fall into the ocean.
"Man he was tougher than I thought" Courtney said wiping the sweat off her forehead.
"I swear. That took 20 minutes" Cody replied when Harold came back to the surface.
"Dude how did you hold on? You had arrows coming from two sides" Cody asked.
"Not everyone can master the rad skills I have" Harold replied trying to flex his biceps, but nothing came up.
Confessional: Harold
"Last summer I went to "Stan Stanley's: How to not get Hit by Arrows When you're in a Balloon Summer Camp". I didn't succeed in this challenge but I gave them a tough time. The guys at school made fun of me saying there's no use of going to that camp. Now I tell them, IN YOUR FACES LOSERS!"
End Confessional: Harold
"Alright later" Harold said as he went back to dry land.
"Looks we have one more target Cody" Courtney said pointing at Noah.
"Care to do the honours?" he asked.
"My pleasure" the CIT replied as her arrow pierced the balloon sending Noah down 1000 feet.
He spat out water as he came back to the surface, "Thanks. It was suffocating in there. Not because I'm claustrophobic or anything but I could smell Owen's farts in there."
"No wonder you smell so bad" Courtney commented pinching her nose.
"Yeah well I did see Owen getting into one of the orange balloons by mistake. Looks like we found which one" Cody said.
"Ok I had enough. I'm leaving" Noah said and he left to the beach.
Mike was having a tough time with Scott. The bald farmer dodged his arrows and on top of that, Chef launched dodgeballs. Many a times Mike almost got him but Chef moved him out of the way with his launcher.
"Stop doing that" Mike shouted at Chef.
"You think I'm gonna listen to you kid. Dream on." Chef laughed.
Mike shot once more and this time Chef deflected his arrow with an accurate shot. Now he got angry. He took the next arrow and launched it to the bottom of Chef's inflatable canoe. Its air oozed out and Chef found himself in the water. His launcher and dodgeballs floated off to different directions of the ocean. Now Mike turned his attention to Scott and burst his balloon sending him into the water.
"Aww. Got wet sweetie?" Mike said as he bent down to Scott.
Scott glared at him. But at the next instant, Mike's boat overturned and he fell into the water. Mike turned back once he came back to the surface and saw Chef smirking at him.
"Aww. Even you got wet sweetie" Chef said as he had overturned Mike's boat.
The camera now showed Duncan who was paddling just behind Cody and Courtney.
He looked up and saw two purple balloons- Bridgette's and Heather's.
"Malibu or Queenie? Why not both!"
He shot an arrow hoping to hit either of their balloons, but it zoomed in between the two.
"Oh great shot Robin Hood" Heather teased.
"Remember when I asked you an opinion? Me neither" Duncan laughed. Heather raged.
Duncan took the next arrow and shot, bursting Bridgette's balloon first. She did a perfect dive into the ocean and came up pretty quickly.
"Now queenie" Duncan launched the next arrow at Heather. She tried to dodge but failed and fell.
Once she came back to the surface, the punk said,
"Hey and I thought Alejandro would be the first one to make you wet." Duncan and Bridgette giggled.
"Shut up asshole!"
"I'll take that. Later" he said as he paddled away. Heather growled.
Confessional: Heather
"How dare he! Stupid punk. Alejandro was the first one to make me….. Cut that part out! CUT IT!"
End Confessional: Heather
Ezekiel was being targeted by Cody. The prairie boy tried his best to dodge the incoming arrows. He dodged the first two but eventually got hit by the third arrow.
"Sorry man" Cody said as he caught Ezekiel.
"Eh you're playing the game. No need to be sorry" the prairie boy replied as he got off the canoe and swam away.
Suddenly a thought came across his mind.
"Hey Courtney, listen up. Chris said that if you fall into the water, you're out right" Cody said.
"Yeah. So?"
"So, if we don't let one of our teammates fall into the water, we'll have an advantage" Cody elaborated.
"Listen. He said that the team with the most number of balloon campers wins. That means they have to be inside the balloon. It's obvious" Courtney said.
As they were conversing, Katie shot Gwen's balloon and she was falling towards Courtney.
"Courtney believe me. Catch her" Cody instructed. But Courtney just moved away, letting Gwen dive into the ocean water.
"Whew! That was close" she said.
"You could've at least tried. What if Chris meant what I said. Listen to others also for once" Cody said.
"I'm a born leader. You don't have to teach me. I've known Chris 2 seasons more than you. I know what he means" Courtney said. Cody rolled his eyes.
Duncan was eavesdropping their conversation. Then he paddled away towards Alejandro's area.
Alejandro was in a duel with Zoey. The redhead was determined that she wouldn't let herself get shot, especially by Alejandro.
The Spaniard chased her for 3 minutes but Zoey dodged every single arrow.
"Stay still chica. It's not like I would hurt you with an arrow" he said.
"I'm not gonna let you win again Alejandro."
"Alright. Try your best. But we both know victory is in whose hands" he smirked.
"Yeah we do. In my team's han…"
"Yeah good talk" he said. Before she could complete Alejandro shot an arrow piercing the balloon and the redhead fell from the balloon.
She expected to be surrounded by water in a few seconds. But Duncan paddled quickly and before Zoey hit water, he caught her. She was surprised. She looked up and saw Duncan's azure eyes. She stared at it for a few seconds. Duncan raised his eyebrow.
"Um… Hello… Zoey…"
Suddenly she snapped out of it, "Huh? Oh D-Duncan…" *What was that all about?* she thought
"Uh… T-thanks for catching me."
"No probs."
"But why did you catch me?"
"So you wanna go into the water? I mean I can help, cuz I don't care" he said.
Zoey smiled, "We both know that you care. Trying to hide your true self won't work with me Duncan."
"Keep it down Zo" Duncan said keeping his index finger on her lips. Then he helped her sit in the canoe.
"But seriously why did you catch me?" she asked.
"Two reasons actually. I overheard Cody telling Courtney that they might get an advantage if they catch someone from their team. So I thought lemme use the enemy's tactics for myself" he smirked.
"What's the second reason?"
"Um… well that… I…. You don't need to know that" he said.
"Oh C'mon. Pleeaaase" she pleaded.
"Uh… fine. I didn't want you to fall ok" Duncan said sheepishly.
"I always see you do something nice every time we meet" she said, "You're such a sweetheart."
"I am not a sweetheart got that. Now let's go" Duncan debated as he started to paddle towards Katie. Zoey just rolled her eyes.
Courtney and Cody were behind Eva. The athlete was giving them no signs of losing. She was running inside her balloon giving it the pace to dodge the arrows.
Cody shot 5 arrows but to no avail. "She's too quick. What do we do?"
Courtney shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe if we shoot at her at the same time, we might get her."
"It's worth a try" the geek replied as they took their arrows and shot towards Eva. Yet again her pace was enough to beat the arrows before it came to her.
Confessional: Eva
She lifted her right leg showing her muscular calf, "You see this. It's built to run and conquer. I get my endurance from these babies. Those two clowns can keep trying all they want."
End Confessional: Eva
"I got an idea. Cody listen" Courtney said as she whispered the plan.
"Alright let's do it" Cody said. Courtney then paddled away from the geek.
Cody picked up another arrow and shot at Eva. She saw it and started to run.
"You still don't understand huh? You can't shoot me. Even Courtney understood" Eva said.
Cody shot again and Eva ran towards to west, dodging the arrow. The geek chased Eva and continuously shot arrows at her- though none of them hit her balloon. The plan was to chase Eva until he reached in front of Courtney, who was coming from the opposite side He chased her for about five minutes. Now Eva's balloon was right above Cody's canoe. He saw Courtney a few metres in front of him. She was taking aim but Eva didn't notice her as she was focused on Cody. The geek looked above and saw Eva's balloon.
"Courtney! NO! Wait! I'm right under the…." But before he could finish the CIT shot an arrow, hitting Eva's balloon and sent the athlete falling thousand feet on top of Cody's canoe, breaking it into pieces and the two campers went into the water.
Courtney facepalmed, "Oh crap!"
Cody and Eva came back to the surface, spitting out water.
"Courtney?!" Cody shouted.
"I'm sorry Cody."
The geek just turned and swam without saying a word. Eva shook her head at her.
"What? It's not my fault. He should've moved away" Courtney defended.
Eva shrugged, "You know, for some reason you kinda remind me of Heather." She said and went back to shore.
Courtney shouted, "I am nothing like Heather! UGH!"
Duncan and Katie were discussing a plan along with Zoey.
"So they got Courtney, Alejandro and Cody right now" Duncan said.
"Cross out Cody. I saw his canoe break when Eva fell on him" Katie said.
"Alright, so if we need to win we'll need to play a little dirty" Duncan said rubbing his hands.
Zoey and Katie looked confused, "So what do you have in mind?" they asked.
"We target one of their paddlers and we break their canoes. You said Eva fell on Cody's canoe right. So we do the same except we'll make Owen fall on their canoe" Duncan explained.
Katie nodded, "Sounds good but who do we target? Courtney?"
"I'd say Alejandro" Zoey suggested.
"I agree with Zoey. If we let Al-eel-jandro swim, he'll become trouble" Duncan said.
"Alright then. What's the plan?" Katie asked.
"Katie, you row to Owen's balloon and stay close there. I'll chase…. Or Zoey will chase Alejandro and bring him under Owen's balloon. Then you know what to do" Duncan explained. Katie nodded.
"But I can't chase him" Zoey said.
"Don't worry. I'm gonna paddle, you'll take the bow and arrow and shoot an arrow at him…."
Zoey eyes widened in horror, "WHAT?! You're telling me to kill him?"
"No no. Chill. I'm not telling you to kill him. What I meant was, shoot an arrow but don't hit him, so he'll get scared" Duncan justified, "Oh and act aggressive ok. Put some swears in between."
"O-kay. But won't Alejandro shoot back?" The redhead asked.
"Nah. That guy follows the gentleman's code. Such crud. So he won't shoot back at you."
"Fine, I guess."
"Great let's do this. Katie, off you go" Duncan said as Katie paddled towards Owen's balloon which was due east, towards the beach.
"Ready to get aggressive Red?" Duncan smirked.
Zoey looked at him and nodded, "I've never done this before. But I'll do it."
"That's the spirit my little... nothing leave it" Duncan said. Zoey raised an eyebrow.
Katie found Owen's balloon and gave a thumbs up. Duncan saw that and paddled to Alejandro. Zoey took Duncan's bow and arrow and positioned herself.
"Hey Ale-jerko" Zoey called. "Good start" Duncan said softly.
The Spaniard looked back and saw the redhead, "Ah. We meet again Zoey. I thought you drowned already."
"I don't care what you think jackass. I told you that I'm gonna win. I'll win at any cost and I'll go to any extent to get."
"I bet the extent will be crying. Asking me to lose for you" he said.
"No. Allow me to show you a demo of the extent. Lemme see if you can guess it" she said and instantly launched an arrow at the Spaniard. It zoomed above his right shoulder, right beside his head. He stood frozen- eyes wide open with fear.
"Senorita, you don't mean…."
"I meant exactly that, DEATH!" she laughed villainously. Now even Duncan was getting a little scared- knowing she was just acting. It was evident that Alejandro also was scared.
Zoey took another arrow and aimed at him. The Spaniard took off to the beach. Duncan smiled seeing he was going the right way. The punk paddled behind him trying to direct him towards Owen's balloon. Duncan whispered to Zoey to shoot one more arrow. She nodded and obeyed him. It zoomed past Alejandro's shoulder.
"Chica, this is dangerous!" He shouted.
"I don't CARE!" she shouted back.
Duncan noticed Katie a few yards in front of Alejandro. In a few seconds, he would come right under the Owen's balloon.
Duncan shouted, "KATIE NOW!"
Katie shot her arrow at the purple balloon making Owen fall. The blonde shouted at the top of his lungs. He fell right on top of the Spaniard's canoe and broke it. Alejandro was thrust into the water by Owen's weight and they resurfaced seconds later. Alejandro walked up to the shore.
Duncan was laughing hysterically. "HAHAHA! Look at you! Do you guys see this….. huh?"
He looked around and saw all the girls- also Owen, swooning at his handsomeness, as he came out of the water.
"SO PERFECT!" Owen commented getting all dreamy.
Confessional: Courtney
"Ok I know that the guy is a total villain but that body is a total eye candy!" she said as she fanned herself.
End Confessional: Courtney
The rest of the guys looked at each other giving 'what is going on' looks.
Chris clapped his hands, making the girls come back to their senses, "People. We're in between a challenge. So snap out of it and continue."
All of a sudden Katie's canoe overturned throwing her into the water.
"What the heck!" She screamed. Her eyes widened when she turned back. The campers were surprised seeing what had overturned her canoe. It was the ferocious Fang.
Scott was shivering, "Uh…. Chris, didn't you say no more mutant animals….. Why is he here?"
"We've been trying to catch him for the past 3 days but none of the interns here are good enough" the host said.
Fang looked to its right and saw Scott. An evil grin came on its face. Suddenly it sprung up towards Scott.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" the dirt farmer screamed closing his eyes. But when it reached right in front of Scott's face, a whack was heard and Fang fell down onto the sands of the beach unconscious.
Scott opened one of his eyes and looked. He saw the unconscious shark and all the others looking at Courtney. She held Chef's dodgeball launcher. She had hit the shark with a dodgeball before it tore Scott apart.
"Thanks a ton lot babe" Scott said panting.
"You're Welcome" Courtney replied.
"Interns! Tie this thing up and put him in the crate" Chris instructed, "Alright. That's taken care of. On to the challenge Duncan & Courtney. Katie you're out."
Trent and Justin's balloons- which are the last two- were pretty close to each other so Duncan and Courtney paddled to the same spot.
Courtney shot 3 arrows but Duncan deflected all of them using his own. He smirked at her. She shot another and yet again he did the same.
"Stop it you ogre!"
"I'll do whatever I please. You can't stop me" Duncan said. Courtney growled. Courtney aimed at Trent again and Duncan was fully determined to deflect it. She shot, but before Duncan could shoot, he was pulled back by Zoey and they looked face to face.
"Listen Zoey, now is not the time ok. Maybe later" Duncan said.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Duncan understood she meant something else, "Oh sorry. I thought you wanted to…... Never mind."
Zoey was confused but she continued, "Instead of deflecting her arrows why don't you just shoot Justin."
"It's fun watching her get angry" he said.
"Yeah well just don't do it. Shoot Justin" Zoey demanded.
"Ok fine" he said.
Courtney's previous arrow missed Trent by millimetres. Now both of them shot towards their respective targets. Both of them burst their bubbles, making the two men fall at the same time. They screamed as they hugged each other in fear. They fell into the ocean water and came back to the surface in a few seconds.
Chris announced in his megaphone, "And the winner is…." His voice became lower, "nobody? Huh. Looks like another draw." He thought for a few seconds, "Looks like it's time for the C.R.S. to make its second appearance. Dun dun duuuun!"
"I told you in its first appearance, no sound effects" Noah said.
"And I told you in every episode, SHUT UP!" Chris said. He signalled the remaining paddlers to come back. He cleared his throat and continued, "So we'll see which of the two guys touched water first. If it was Trent, the bulls win and if it was Justin, the tigers win."
Chris and the campers looked to the big screen as Chef controlled it.
"A little forward….. Not that much, rewind a bit. A little bit more rewind. Now forward, rewind, forward….. STOP!" Chris instructed, "Oooh! The two dudes just know how to sync. They touched water at the same time" he turned to Justin and Trent, "Did you two have to hug each other?"
Chris thought for a few seconds. Suddenly it struck him.
"Wait a minute! Zoey was a balloon camper and she didn't fall into the water. So she isn't out yet. So she's the last man- I mean woman, standing. So the Tigers snatch the win today!" He announced.
"WHAT?!" Courtney shouted looking guilty.
Cody stormed, "I TOLD YOU COURTNEY! If you'd caught Gwen, we might've had a chance now."
The tigers cheered. They celebrated and carried Zoey. She smiled but suddenly guilt painted her face.
"Guys, we won because of….." she looked at Duncan. He shook his head signalling her to not complete her sentence and looked on smiling.
Confessional: Zoey
She was looking down, "This isn't right. We won because of Duncan. Not me. How didn't anyone see him catch me? I don't deserve this applause."
End Confessional: Zoey
"Tigers, as a reward two of you get a trip to the Wawanakwa café" Chris said.
"Wait there's a café here? And why only two people" Jo asked.
"Yup. It's the place where me and Chef get our coffee from. It's right next to the tuck shop. And I'm letting only two people cuz, hello, it's my coffee and snacks. I ain't gonna let you guys drink it up" he explained.
"Oh sorry. I forgot you were a jerk" Jo said.
Chris glared at her, "Anyway, since Zoey won the challenge" he looked at Duncan and smirked, "she is going to the café. And she can choose the second person."
"Obviously, she'll choose Mike" Eva said.
"Actually…. No" she said to everyone's surprise, "I'm sorry Mike. I choose…. Duncan." Zoey looked at Duncan and then at Dawn. The moonchild smiled giving her a nod. Chris rolled his eyes.
Duncan raised his eyebrow, "You want me to come with you? Take Mike. He's your boyfriend."
"You have to go Duncan" Dawn said.
"Why are you coming in between this?" he asked but Dawn just smiled.
"Alright so Zoey and Duncan are going to the café" then he turned to the bulls, "Courtney, you get immunity for today, not for your challenge but for taking down Fang. Bulls, you'll meet me at the campfire at sharp 7."
"That's like in five minutes" Heather said.
"Yeah. You got a problem then deal with it" Chris asked. Heather rolled her eyes.
Campfire pit:
The bulls' sat on the stumps as Chris held out a tray which was closed with a lid.
"First, an announcement" Chris said taking off the lid, "The marshmallows make a comeback."
"MARSHMALLOWSSSSSSS! OH YES!" Owen punched the air in delight.
"At least now there's something good about all this" Gwen said.
"Alright listen up. Today's elimination ceremony is gonna be kinda different. You won't be voting off anyone" the host said.
"So no one's getting eliminated today?" Sierra asked expectantly.
"That's not what I meant. I said you won't be voting off anyone. We have a different way for today" Chris said, "Instead of voting off someone, we'll be picking the camper who's been the most useless for your team and kick them off the island." Everyone's eyes widened.
"How're you gonna find that out?" Courtney asked.
"Why do you care? You already have immunity" Cody said.
"Sheesh! I was just curious" the CIT said.
"Well, this E-pad[1] here knows all the info of how many challenges you as an individual has won for your team" he said raising the device, "If you've got immunity in any of the previous challenges, your safe. But if you haven't, then you'll be compared according to your performance in challenges. I hope I made myself clear."
"What if you're faking the info?" Bridgette asked, "I mean, cuz you're known for faking and cheating."
"If you feel so then just recollect what you did in the challenges" the host said, "As your name comes in this E-pad, I'll call out your name and throw you a marshmallow. Ok, so let's start this. The first marshmallow of the day and this season goes to the first camper who got immunity this season, Owen."
"YASS!" he screamed in excitement, catching his marshmallow. "I missed you sooo much!" he said and gulped it, "So soft!"
"O-kay. Moving on the next marshmallow goes to Dakota" he said as he tossed the marshmallow to her, "The next immunity holder who gets a marshmallow is…

and the last camper to have got immunity, Courtney. Three of you and 2 of these marshmallows remain. Bridgette, Leshawna and Scott, I gotta say, the three off you had quite a bad season this time. Now since you guys haven't got immunity yet, we're gonna analyse your performances in the previous challenges one by one" the host elaborated.
After a pause Chris continued, "Bridgette your first challenge wasn't good, rather terrible. And in subsequent challenges you tried a lot but faltered. But you were a reason for your team's win in the 3rd challenge. So you're off the hook. Here's your marshmallow."
A smile grew on the surfer's face as she caught her marshmallow.
"Well done. Now, last marshmallow. I'll hand over the last marshmallow and then I'll tell you the reason why the loser sucked this season" Chris said. Scott and Leshawna looked at each other shivering.
"So the last marshmallow of the evening goes to…

Scott. Leshawna, time to go girl."
"WHAT?! But how?" Bridgette asked.
"Well stats don't lie. Leshawna hasn't even won a part of a challenge this season. The only challenge she went far, was the flag challenge, but she screwed that up too" Chris explained.
"How about farmboy?" Heather asked.
"Well, he's won one round till yet in this season. In that boxing challenge against Zoey. So you can say that even he sucks" Chris said.
"Hey!" Scott shouted.
"Hey chill out dirtbag. We all know you suck" Heather said. Scott glared at her.
"It's ok y'all. Momma's gonna leave. Anyway good luck in the next challenges. You included Heather. But not you blondie" Leshawna said looking at Dakota.
She took her bags from the cabin with help from Gwen and Owen and hopped on to the boat of losers.
"Later y'all. Leshawna's gonna miss you" she waved as the boat left into the darkness.
"That would've been your ride if you hadn't done well, remember that. Anyways, you're safe for another 2 days. You may head back to your cabins."
The camera showed the top of the hills under the moonlight. A wolf howled at the moon. Then the screen showed the dark paths of the forest. The mysterious person from earlier was spotted again hopping about into the woods.
Tigers Female Cabin:
All the girls except Zoey and Jo were there in the cabin. Jo had gone to the washroom.
Dawn as usual was meditating. She could sense negative energy from somewhere close by, though it wasn't from inside her cabin. She tried concentrating more but couldn't identify the source.
Eva was sitting on her bed and lifting dumbbells, while Katie counted.
"By the way, you were impressive in the challenge" Eva commented.
"Thanks. I appreciate that" Katie smiled and then Eva stopped lifting, "That's 147 lifts."
"You were actually counting all this time?"
"Yeah. I was kinda bored. So I thought why not" Katie said. Eva shrugged. Then Katie went and sat on her bed. Eva looked at Dawn giving a "was that ok" look. Dawn nodded.
Confessional: Eva
"Yeah, so Dawn's helping me control my temper. Till yet everything's gone well. I haven't become a rage monster, yet. She somehow calms me down whenever I'm about to blow up. She's a good one"
End Confessional: Eva
That time Zoey entered the cabin carrying a box, her face showing a mixed expression of satisfaction and worriedness.
Eva asked, "What's in the box?"
"She kept the box on the floor and said, "Croissants and some sandwiches."
"From the café?" Katie asked.
"Yeah."
"At last. REAL food" Eva said as she took a croissant.
"Ok then. Suit yourselves ok" Zoey said as she climbed her bunk.
"You don't need any?" Katie asked.
"No thanks. I already ate." Zoey replied. Katie shrugged.
"We better call Jo" Katie said.
"Why?" Eva asked.
"Well the way you're eating tells me you're gonna finish the whole thing" Katie said and to her surprise, Eva gave out a smile.
"We'll be back in a minute. C'mon Katie" Eva said as she and Katie ran out to find Jo.
Dawn climbed up to Zoey's bunk and sat legs crossed, "So, how did it go my friend? Was he the person?"
"Yeah. I feel he is" Zoey said in a low tone, "I'm happy that he understands me but at the same time, I felt sad when he accepted my thoughts."
"Why were you sad for?" Dawn asked.
"Well, I told him about some doubts I have about Mike. I felt that those were just things inside my head. But…."
"He has the same things inside his head as well, fuelling you doubts even more" Dawn said. Zoey looked down and sighed. Dawn patted the redhead's shoulder trying to comfort her.
Tigers Male Cabin:
DJ and Trent were discussing, Ezekiel, Harold and Tyler were playing "Countdown to Destruction" [2] in their consoles. Noah, as usual, was reading a book and Mike was combing his hair.
"Man, I really wanna patch things up. But I don't know if she's want's the same" Trent said
"My man, listen. I know it's hard. But if you wanna let her know how you feel even now. Then you just gotta say it" DJ replied.
"But what if I screw it all up again?"
"You won't. Don't worry about it. Worrying just makes it even harder" DJ said, "Gwen's a bold girl. Not everyone has been comfortable with her. But you're different. You told me about your little conversation in the woods. She was pretty comfortable talking to you right."
"Yeah. But I made it kinda awkward" Trent said.
"Hey Trent, just go tell her whatever your heart tells you" Noah said his eyes still inside his book.
Everyone looked up from whatever they were doing and looked at Noah. The bookworm noticed that everyone was looking at him.
"You are giving romantic advice" Tyler said.
"Just because I read books doesn't mean that I don't know all this and FYI I have a girlfriend" Noah said.
"Yo Noah. Thanks for the advice. I guess I can do that" Trent said.
"That's the spirit man" DJ patted his shoulder.
Suddenly the door was kicked open by Duncan who had a box in his hands, "YO! Who's up for croissants and cheese sandwiches?"
The cabin erupted. "WOOHOO! Bring 'em in dude" Tyler shouted. Duncan kept the box on the floor and the guys attacked the food.
"Oh. This is delicious" Harold said savouring his croissant.
"That's what you call a sandwich" Trent and DJ said in chorus.
Ezekiel stuffed in 2 croissants at the same time, "Alright Zeke!" Tyler exclaimed.
Duncan took a cheese sandwich and stuffed it in his mouth. He noticed that Mike hadn't eaten anything. He thought of what Zoey told him in the café. He walked up to him looking suspiciously.
"Hey you! Whoever you are, you want some?"
Mike glared at Duncan, "I'll have the croissant."
He tossed a croissant to Mike. Duncan then leaned to his shoulder and whispered to his ear, "I'm gonna find whatever you're hiding and you can't stop me."
Mike just smirked as Duncan exited the cabin.
Bulls Male Cabin:
Cody, Justin and Owen were inside the cabin. Alejandro and Scott were in the bathroom.
Cody was sitting on his bed looking to the ceiling. He thought, *Dakota's hiding something for sure. And I'm pretty sure Chris used his E-pad knowing that we were gonna vote for Dakota*
"Yo Cody. Something wrong?" Justin asked.
"Huh? Well I guess I can tell you."
Justin adjusted himself to face Cody. Then the geek explained, "I don't know why but I feel something's not right with Dakota. She's been kinda like a mystery girl all this while. Like no one knows what's going on in her head. She's unpredictable."
Justin listened carefully, "So what do you plan to do about it?" he asked.
"I don't think we should vote her off for no reason. We gotta find out what's with her. So can you help me with that?" Cody asked.
"You mean an alliance?" the model asked.
"Well yeah."
Justin thought about it. He was in Dakota's alliance already. And to be frank he was starting to get a little uneasy with it. He was a villain in TDA, but he never thought villains could be as hardcore as Dakota and Alejandro. Besides, being in two alliances will increase his chances of survival. But he'll have to balance both of them.
"Fine I'll join" Justin agreed, "But we need more people."
"Owen? Wanna join our alliance?" Cody asked.
"Sorry guys but I'm already in Scott's alliance" he paused, "Oh wait I wasn't supposed to say that. Stupid!"
Justin laughed, "Dude, you better join Cody's. He's a lot smarter and cleaner than farmboy."
"Ok I'll join. But don't tell him ok" Owen said. Cody and Justin gave him a thumbs up.
Suddenly they heard a knock on the door. Owen opened it but found no one. Then he looked down and saw a box. He took it and opened.
"HOLY HEAVENS! THIS DAY CANNOT GET ANY BETTER!" He shouted seeing the food inside, "FIRST MARSHMALLOWS AND NOW THIS! May God present all the riches to whoever brought this!"
"Alright. Let's party" Justin said eating a croissant.
Bulls Female Cabin:
The ladies were savouring the croissants and sandwiches from the box that they also received.
"Thank you God!" Gwen said eating her sandwich.
Dakota was typing something in her own E-pad and eating at the same time. Bridgette looked at her suspiciously, trying to peek in to see what she was doing.
Dakota noticed her coming closer, "Hello? I need some privacy here."
Bridgette suddenly moved back, "Oh I'm sorry."
Dakota rolled her eyes and continued typing. This just Bridgette even more suspicious.
"FOOD FIGHTTT!" Izzy screamed, throwing a croissant at Heather, hitting her on her face.
"OW! Get a hold of yourself crazy girl!" Heather shouted.
"E-scope only listens to herself. Well, maybe some other people too but who cares" she said throwing another croissant hitting Heather on the face again. All the other girls laughed but didn't join Izzy.
Gwen laughed looking at Heather, "Izzy listen. I'm a fan of food fights and this *points at Heather* is hilarious. But I guess we should probably eat the actual food and fight with the non-food tomorrow."
Izzy thought about it, "I was gonna call you a party pooper, but you're right" she grinned, "HAHA! Tomorrow E-scope is gonna bring her food launcher to the mess hall!"
Chris had ordered the camera crew to keep on filming during the night. Partly because he had to find the guy who escaped from the crate during the last challenge. It was now lights out in all the cabins as the campers laid down on their beds to wake up for a new day. The camera showed Owen holding on to his teddy bear, DJ sleeping with his bunny cage beside him, Tyler snoring with his console covering his face and Courtney sleeping with her eye mask on.
It was about 1:45 am. The camera crew were also getting tired now.
"How much longer man?" One of them asked.
"About 4 hours more" another answered as they sighed in chorus.
Duncan hadn't been asleep till yet because he was listening to music from his headphones. A minute later, he took them off and kept it beside his pillow. Then he closed his eyes. Suddenly he heard the sound of the door creaking and closing from the outside. He looked at the door but saw no one. Seconds later, he heard a familiar humming from the silence outside. His eyes widened in recognition. He's heard it before TDI and only in juvie. That means...
"Oh Fu..(beep)" he said softly.
Chris stood on the dock of shame holding a pair of binoculars, "So a quick outro. We had a dramatic bonfire ceremony today. Wait and watch what the next challenges are gonna bring. Who'll be the next one to leave this island? Find out in the next…." His walkie-talkie interrupted him.
"YO Chris! We got him….. Ok no, we lost him again. Come quick." Chef said from the other side, "Oh yeah I forgot, OVER!"
Chris sighed, "Find out in the next episode of TOTAL… DRAMA… MAYHEM!"
