Chapter Six: The Sucky Outdoors
Chris: Last time, on Total Drama Island, a talent contest brought out the worst in our campers, it was awesome!
[the footage starts with the 'clashing logos' animation used in the previous episode before it shows shots of the campers seated and facing the stage, as well as Rainbow Dash's rock solo and Robin making the bullseye on all five targets]
While Katz took charge for the Gophers, the Killer Bass let show biz veteran Daffy call the shots. All the while, Prince John found Katz snooping around the area and struck a deal with him to take care of a pest.
[Katz is seen addressing his team while Daffy is shown to be judging the members of his team, before it cuts to Prince John finding the red feline and the two discussing their plan]
After witnessing two teammates with actual talent, he seemed to be living up to his own hype at first with his performance of...whatever that was until he set the stage on fire.
[clips of Daffy's disastrous performance are shown with emphasis on his breakdown on the burning stage]
Needless to say, it cost Daffy's team the challenge, and they voted his butt off the island.
[scene cuts to Chris on the docks]
Who will be the next one to walk off this crappy dock? Find out tonight, in the most dramatic marshmallow ceremony ever! On Total….Drama...Island!
(Fade to Opening Theme)
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;
You guys are on my mind!
Ya 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!
Everythin' 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! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(Fade to Episode)
[scene opens up with Rarity waking up and stretching her arms out. She climbs down from the top bunk of her and Angelina's bed, with the mouse still asleep before she walks out the door to head to the bathroom. Once in there, she turns on the hot water, having undressed with a towel wrapped around before entering]
[static buzzing]
Rarity: Since there's no chance of getting a decent source of caffeine around here, I opt to have an early morning shower to get a kickstart for the day. Plus, it's a nice bit of relaxation before having to do our regular activities for the day, oh, and the fact that it's a relief when you get the lavatories all to yourself.
[static buzzing]
[scene cuts to Rarity brushing her hair in front of the mirror until the door opens up to show Applejack entering the room]
Rarity: Oh!
Applejack: Well, didn't expect you ta' be an early bird, Rarity, thought you'd be still in gettin' yer beauty sleep.
Rarity: I chose the safer option out of the two, a nice, relaxing shower and getting myself ready while I still have the chance.
Applejack: Now that's a smart mindset ta' have around here, I just got done with a run around the camp, now I'll be headin' into the shower right about now.
Rarity: Go on ahead, the water's still warm.
Applejack: Right you are.
[static buzzing]
Applejack: Bein' a farmhand, wakin' up early comes with the territory, I'm usually up around this time startin' work in the orchard, so I use the time before the challenge starts to get some of that mornin' kick.
[static buzzing]
[the sun is already high in the sky with the camera panning down to show all eighteen campers and the host gathered around the campfire pit]
Chris: Campers, today's challenge will test your outdoor survival skills. I'm not gonna lie to you, some of you may not come back alive!
[Usagi, Angelina, Yogi, and Top Cat exchange nervous glances at one another while Katz gives a scowl and a roll of his eyes]
Chris: Just joking! All you have to do is spend one night in the woods.
Usagi: [to Angelina] That wasn't funny in the slightest, who does that mean man think he is?
Angelina: [to Usagi] Most likely someone seeking to scare the living daylights out of us.
Chris: Everything you need is at your team's campsite in the forest, you just have to find it. [tosses a map and compass to each team, being caught by Wolf and Applejack respectively] Oh, and watch out for bears. Lost a couple of interns in pre-production.
Yogi: Hold on, I'm a bear, ya' know.
Chris: Okay, let me rephrase; savage bears. First team back for breakfast wins invincibility! [blows the air horn] Well, off you go!
Yogi: Okay, given that I'm guaranteed to be friendly with the local territory, I suggest being leader of this here expedition.
Angelina: I already have several issues with that, namely the fact that I'd rather have someone responsible leading us.
Rarity: I second that notion.
Applejack: Here's what I suggest; me and Yogi will lead the team, just as long as you follow your end of the deal.
Yogi: It's a surefire plan, miss, I'm more honest than the average bear.
[static buzzing]
Yogi: Sure, I might not be the most experienced when it comes down to the wilderness game, given my preference of searchin' through picnic tables, but campin' can't be that hard.
[static buzzing]
[the Gopher logo appears in the corner of the screen as the camera pans down, revealing them walking down a trail with Yogi and Applejack leading the charge]
Top Cat: Did I eva' tell you's about the time me and the gang hitched a ride on the back of Dibble's cab to catch dinner and a show?
Charlotte: Oooooh, what happened during that time?
Top Cat: Well, we heard he'd found himself a lady friend and was hopin' to take her out someplace nice. Being the kind and generous soul I am, I asked for an invitation as his wingman, which he refused and told me that I'd be in custody otherwise, but I just couldn't leave it at that, so I got the gang together and we hitched on the back of the officer's car and got ourselves a free ticket into the restaurant through the back door.
Charlotte: Tee-hee, if I had a restaurant, I'd have dinner out for all the kitties that came by it!
Top Cat: Aaaaah, ain't you a doll?
[static buzzing]
Top Cat: Truth be told, I wouldn't put it past her to do so, I mean, hey, that means free food for us.
[static buzzing]
[a flash transitions the scene to the Killer Bass, the focus being on Wolf and Carmen at the head of their team]
Wolf: So, how's things going between you and the do-gooder detective?
Carmen: Probably as good as you with the glorified space cadet.
Wolf: Yeeeeeeeah, but don't you worry, I got a plan that might whip both of them into shape.
Carmen: Oh, and what pray tell might that be?
Wolf: Well, you know how campouts and nighttime usually lead to scary stories? I got one that'll have those two shivering as if it were winter.
Carmen: In that case, I look forward to it, trust me, I've heard my fair share of supernatural tales.
[Fox and Ivy glance at one another from the middle of the group]
Ivy: Those two are up to something, I can tell.
Fox: Five bucks Wolf thinks I can't tell he's talking about me.
Ivy: Well, safe to say, I'm prepared for whatever they've got in store.
Fox: You can bet that I'm not letting a certain someone get the better of me.
Jasper: You know I can hear you from behind me, so will ya' can it with the stupid plotting back there?
[static buzzing]
Jasper: Those two can get really annoying always complaining about the same people over and over again, it drives someone up the wall.
[static buzzing]
Ivy: Okay, I could have played that a little better, but Carmen seriously creases me.
[static buzzing]
Fox: I don't care how innocent Wolf acts, all I know is that it's a push before a shove when it comes to that guy.
[static buzzing]
[scene cuts back to the Gophers where Katz is gathered at the back with two of his alliance mates]
Katz: So, you two, I think we need to do something about a certain someone leading the charge.
Usagi: I don't know, Applejack's pretty nice once you get to know her.
Katz: The thing that I'm concerned about is her physical prowess, given that she's clearly one of the more athletic players on the team, that should arise a signal in case she starts looking too powerful.
Charlotte: I think she's very strong, you should see the way she lifted that bench the other day, it was so cool!
Katz: That's exactly what I mean, but to be fair, I'll give her a little bit of leeway...for now…
[static buzzing]
Katz: Admittedly, Applejack or Rainbow Dash are my next targets for who I want to send on the chopping block in case we happen to lose, as I mentioned, those with particular physical abilities could pose a challenge towards me, and I can't let that happen.
[static buzzing]
[another flash returns the focus to the Killer Bass]
Tails: So, Aquamarine, what would you do if you won the prize?
Aquamarine: Money isn't a necessity for a gem like myself, but if I had to pinpoint something, I'd like to purchase my own territory. What about you?
Tails: Well, I'd like to invest in new additions for parts of my gadgets to show off to everyone, for someone my age, I'm pretty nifty when it comes to science.
Aquamarine: So I've heard, would you say a lot of what you make is...powerful?
Tails: I'd say it depends on the design, some things are stronger than others, but I always try to make sure they're helpful to anyone who needs them, that's why I'm usually the technician on my team.
Aquamarine: Truly extraordinary, I must say, you and I really complement each other.
Tails: Oh, yeah, I guess you could say that.
[static buzzing]
Tails: You know, some people say that Aquamarine's shifty, but from what I've seen, she's pretty nice when you get to know her.
[static buzzing]
Aquamarine: Tails thinking that I'm his friend is exactly the kind of mentality I need to keep him on the string, of course, I only need him for the vote, but really, who's going to suspect little old me of anything, I could slip through them all like oil.
[static buzzing]
[the scene changes to the top of a tall pine, which pans down to show the Screaming Gophers in a clearing with a few sleeping bags and other camping gear]
Applejack: Okay, according to this we need to find our food, so who's up for some hunting and gathering?
Yogi: If you'll allow me, I know my way around the picnic baskets of Jellystone, so fetching whatever grub's out here shouldn't be too much of a challenge.
Charlotte: Oh, I'll come along! I wanna forage for nuts and berries!
Yogi: [shudders] A bear's worst nightmare, the single two foods allowed.
Rainbow Dash: There's bound to be a river where we can go catch some fish, big guy, you just leave it to Dashie, I'll find it in ten seconds flat.
Top Cat: I'll stick around here to try and get the fire going so we can all have a cookout, I've had my fair share of starting fires with a little know-how.
Applejack: Okay then, everyone seems to know where they're going, the rest of us will stay here and set up camp.
[scene cuts to the Bass at their campsite]
Prince John: [groans] My legs are killing me, and I'm in need of food, what have you all to offer?
Carmen: We're going to have to search for our food, a few of us will go into the woods while the rest stick around to set up the rest of our camp.
Prince John: In that case, I'll go with the less menial task, staying here until I've been served. [haughtily sits on a rock]
Wolf: [sarcastically] Well, I can see someone's being a great help.
Robin: If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to assist in foraging for food, I am a man of the forest, after all.
Wolf: Yeah, that makes sense, you're with us, the rest of you get the firepit ready.
Fox: [as he and Ivy are setting up the tent] Yeah, sure thing…
[scene cuts back to the Gophers with everything having been set up and the six present waiting for the food]
Rarity: You know, I've never much been a fan of foraging, not knowing what food's edible, and having a scarce menu to choose from.
Usagi: I wish we could have brought snacks along so that we'd have more to eat, some marshmallows would be great, especially if we had some chocolate and graham crackers.
Katz: [with his eyes closed] I'll settle for fish from the firepit, no need to worry about things like sweets. [opens one eye when he hears Usagi snickering] And what pray tell is so funny?
Usagi: Oh, nothing, just that I thought I heard from somewhere that you got turned into a giant jelly bean.
[Rarity, Angelina, Top Cat, and Applejack turn their heads at this while Katz sweatdrops]
Rarity: Oooooooh, I've got to hear this!
Top Cat: I thought someone like you was far from a sweetheart.
Angelina: Oh, I've got to know how you managed that.
Usagi: I think I heard it was a tall green jelly bean.
Applejack: Huh, and I thought green wasn't his color.
[the five descend into anime-style laughter while a similar style vein appears on Katz's forehead]
[static buzzing]
Katz: It took all the restraint within not to unsheathe my claws and rip them apart, mark my words, anyone who thinks they can get away with laughing at my misfortune will pay dearly.
[static buzzing]
[scene cuts to Yogi and Rainbow Dash with the latter watching the former splash around in the water]
Rainbow Dash: Uh, Yogi, you know you're supposed to catch the fish, right?
Yogi: I'm trying, but these slippery little demons keep swimmin' away and I can't-GOTCHA!
Rainbow Dash: I guess it's a good thing I came along, no fish can outswim the Dash, based on the pile I've got. [hears a splash and turns her head]
Yogi: [with a fish in his mouth] I got it!
[scene cuts to another section of the river where Wolf and Robin are collecting fish from the river]
Wolf: Well, isn't this ironic, two outlaws foraging for food.
Robin: Correction; a war criminal and a noble thief.
Wolf: Oh, am I not noble in any context?
Robin: Well, from what I've heard, your reputation speaks for itself.
Wolf: You're not gonna start preaching moral shit, are you?
Robin: Au contraire, I didn't come from the 90s, you know.
Wolf: Nah, I believe it was the 70s where violence was made illegal.
Robin: Touche, though I will say, you're not half as bad as you've been made out to be.
Wolf: Let me guess, Fox told you not to trust me in any way because I'm sleazy as hell and only care about money.
Robin: Hmmm, that sounds a lot like someone I know, so he might have been talking about you know who.
Wolf: Ah, you got jokes, I like that, at least you know how to chill, I wish Fox would get that pole out of his ass.
Robin: I'd say give it time and show him that there's no bad blood between you, maybe push the envelope a little further.
Wolf: Hmm, I guess I could do that...riiiiiiight after my little surprise for him tonight.
Robin: Oh, and what pray tell might that be?
Wolf: If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise, now would it? You'll just have to wait and find out.
[static buzzing]
Wolf: Yeah, I could have spared Robin the details, but I kinda wanted to see his reaction for later, he's a nice guy and all, but needs a little messing around every now and then.
[static buzzing]
[scene cuts to Charlotte picking berries from the bushes]
Charlotte: Berries, berries, so many I can pick,
Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries on the stick,
I could make pies, or cakes, or tarts,
All of them would be made right from the heart.
[suddenly, a squirrel rushes past, slightly startling the blue girl]
OH! [looks up and gives a smile] Hi, Mr. Squirrel, I'm picking berries for my teammates! Speaking of which, I think this should be enough for everyone. Bye-bye! [skips off with the berries in hand] Berries, berries, so many I can pick…
[scene cuts to Carmen picking berries at another bush]
Carmen: I suppose it's a good thing I've got gloves, these berries are so sticky…
[at that moment, a group of raccoons rushes below her, causing her to give a soft gasp]
Oh, just some raccoons, fancy getting startled over that...right, I think this is enough, at least for tonight anyway.
[scene cuts back to the Gophers as Yogi, Rainbow Dash, and Charlotte arrive back with the food]
Yogi: Dinner is served and ready to be eaten.
Top Cat: Save some for the rest of us, big guy.
Rarity: We were just telling stories to pass the time.
Katz: By stories, she means laughing at others' misfortunes.
Rainbow Dash: Awww, you guys made me miss a roasting session, I want in on this.
Charlotte: Oh, stories around the campfire, that's a great idea!
Top Cat: Oh, oh, you wanna hear about the one involving a great big jelly bean? [looks twice to Katz as he gives a glare back]
Katz: I've got a better idea; how about the supposed rumors of faking terminal illness and being sent up the river in a trash can?
[some of the Gophers snicker at this while Top Cat sweatdrops]
Top Cat: How about getting beat over the head by an old lady?
Katz: How about being replaced as leader of your own gang?
Top Cat: How about having a weird obsession with spiders?
Katz: How about being unable to come out of poverty?
Applejack: Okay, ya'll take it easy there.
Rainbow Dash: What, c'mon, this is good stuff.
Applejack: Dash, don't encourage it.
Rainbow Dash: Oh, you've always gotten be the party pooper, don't you?
Applejack: What's that supposed to mean?
Rainbow Dash: You know exactly what it means, always trying to be the 'smart one', like that time you had me obsessed over your granny's safety like some helicopter parent.
Applejack: Well, at least I'm responsible, unlike the pony who always makin' a show of herself and wants everyone to know it like some pop star.
Rarity: Oh, please, you're all being overly dramatic about silly things.
Rainbow Dash: Says the pony with a literal fainting couch.
Rarity: Did I just hear what I think I did, Rainbow Dash? Because I think I just heard backchat.
Angelina: Oh, please, you're all acting like animals.
Usagi: Yeah, you all need to calm down.
Angelina: Thank you, but I can handle this.
Usagi: I was just trying to help, no need to be mean.
Angelina: Isn't that what you always say to someone who disagrees with you?
Usagi: Hey, that's not true!
[a huge argument blows out between the Gophers as the camera pans out as their shouts and cries echo above the trees]
[scene cuts to the Bass having gathered around the campfire for dinner. Robin is tending to the fish on the fire speared with sticks while Prince John, Tails, and Aquamarine in particular are trying to keep warm]
Prince John: How anyone could fancy themselves living in this type of environment is beyond me.
Robin: Well, I've lived in the forest for most of my life and I've managed pretty well.
Prince John: Oh, I'm sure you would…
Ivy: How's the fish coming?
Robin: Almost ready, just give it a little more time.
Tails: [reaches out to grab one of the fish sticks and gives it a taste, a crunchy sensation happening in his mouth] Uh, Robin, I think you might have overcooked this.
Ivy: [spits out the one in her mouth] Oh, gross, it's like I'm eating charcoal, where did you learn to cook?
Jasper: [stoicly eats her own] Yeah, this tastes terrible, but hey, don't care enough to spit out, take it or leave it.
Robin: Oh, my apologies, I suppose that cooking's never been my strong suit. [takes one of the fish sticks and casually eats it]
Aquamarine: [rolls her eyes] I don't suppose that anyone else brought something edible to consume?
Carmen: You'd be in luck, I happened to scrounge up a few berries from the bushes, but don't pick at them, everyone gets their share, right? [gives her teammates 'the look']
Prince John: Yes, yes, sure, now pass them up, I'm starving over here.
[the footage cuts back to the Gophers who have now separated from one another, facing away from the person they're angry with]
[static buzzing]
Angelina: I don't care-
[static buzzing]
Usagi: -what anyone says.
[static buzzing]
Applejack: If they think-
[static buzzing]
Rainbow Dash: -I'm gonna speak to them-
[static buzzing]
Rarity: -after what they said-
[static buzzing]
Top Cat: -then they've got-
[static buzzing]
Yogi: -another thing coming.
[static buzzing]
Katz: And that's how it is.
[static buzzing]
Charlotte: Did you know that I snuck some nuts while I was out berry picking?
[static buzzing]
Applejack: Okay, I'll be the one to break the silence, I know we all said some things that came as harsher than intended.
Rarity: [sighs] I say we should at least try to get through the rest of the night without further mishap, we're all tired and hungry, I'm sure.
[a bit of rustling is heard from the bushes]
Angelina: Oh, great, the Bass is here to play a trick, you're not scaring us!
[a growl comes from the bush]
Usagi: That's a…rather convincing display…
Yogi: Uhhh, guys, I don't think it's a trick…
Top Cat: What makes ya' say that?
Yogi: That's a bear growl if I ever heard one.
Charlotte: Maybe they're nice bears who want some honey.
Katz: That is the most stereotypical thing I've ever heard.
[at that moment, a pack of bears comes out from the bushes, causing most of the Gophers to be put on edge]
Rainbow Dash: Uhhh, Yogi, you're the bear here, you think you can communicate with them?
Yogi: [gulps] Well, maybe seein' a fellow bear might even things out. [walks up to the feral bears] Hey, hey, hey, aren't you a fine lookin' lot? [one of the bears gets up close to him] Uh, yeah, that's my…[trails off as he hears a low growl]...never mind…wait, hold on, that's our food! [one of the other bears growls at this, turning along with the rest of the group] Uh, did I say our food, I mean, you keep it, yeah, yeah, I'm just gonna run up this tree. [quickly climbs up the tree to shiver on a branch]
Angelina: Well, that didn't help matters at all, let me handle this. [clears throat] Excuse me, but that happens to be our-[two of the bears unsheathe their claws and snarl at this]-AAAAHHH! [zips up the tree right next to Yogi] On second thought, I think I'll just stay up here.
[the rest of the Gophers who have backed up find themselves suddenly surrounded by other forest creatures; wolves, foxes, deer, rabbits, wildcats, weasels, otters, raccoons, and squirrels. It cuts to the woodlanders snacking on the provisions while the Gophers have all retreated to the sanctuary of the tree]
Top Cat: [groans] That ain't fair, they're eatin' up all the food.
Katz: [sighs] I suppose we're going to have to go starving for the night unless they clear the area.
[scene cuts to the Bass gathered around the campfire while Wolf is telling a story]
Wolf: And to this day, he carries around the severed head as a warning to others and as a reminder. So you might wanna watch out the next time you're in a summer camp, much like this very one, who knows, his next victim might just be…YOU! [holds up something that looks like a head in front of everyone]
[Fox and Ivy jump at this, Prince John cowers into a ball, Tails gives a yell of shock, Robin's paws are dug into the ground, Aquamarine is staring with wide eyes, only Jasper and Carmen appear to be unaffected as the former gives a rare grin while the latter is smirking]
Wolf: [laughs heartily] Oh, my God, you should see your faces, I got you with the head!
Fox: [crosses his arms] Oh, haha, very funny, can't you see me laughing?
Wolf: Ah, no need to wet yourself, Foxy, you got the big strong wolf here to protect you.
Fox: Hmph! As if I need your protection in any context.
Ivy: [looks over to see Carmen's expression] You were in on this, weren't you?
Carmen: A little bit, yes.
Ivy: Should have figured.
Jasper: Not bad for a story, especially since it scared the wimps.
[static buzzing]
Wolf: The head I pulled off? A rock painted with a little mud and light yellow weeds I found by the river, pure genius if I do say so.
[static buzzing]
Carmen: I never thought I'd be so amused by a cheesy creeper story, but seeing Ivy's reaction made it all worth it.
[static buzzing]
[scene cuts to later at night with the Bass tucked away in their tent, but one member in particular can't seem to get himself comfortable]
Tails: I, uh, I need some air…yeah, I'll be back when I can…
[Tails exits the tent and heads off into the forest, unbeknownst to a shadowy figure following him]
[scene cuts back to the Gophers' now empty firepit]
Rarity: [groans] All our food's gone, not a crumb left to eat.
Yogi: Please, don't mention lack of food, I was gonna eat those fish good.
Usagi: [sighs] Well, at least it can't get any-
Angelina: [puts a paw to Usagi's mouth] Don't finish that sentence, I'd rather not see the outcome.
[a drop of water falls on the mouse's nose, followed by another, and then another]
Angelina: [deadpan] You have got to be kidding me.
Rainbow Dash: Everyone, inside the tent!
[the Gophers crowd into the tent as best as they can, storing nine people not being the easiest task]
[scene cuts to Tails trying to shelter himself under a large pine tree]
Tails: [breaths in and out] It's okay, Tails, it was just a story…hmmm, the weather's getting bad…better head-[pauses when he hears something rustling in the bushes]-uh…is someone there…? [he begins to shiver as the rustling in the bush continues] I-I don't mean any trouble, I'm just trying to-
[at that moment, something that appears to be a dagger shoots out from the bush, sending Tails into a panic as he runs away through the downpour, occasionally slipping on the mud below]
Tails: It's not real, it's not real, it's not real!
[the kitsune, terrified out of his wits, retreats under the shelter of a cave and hides behind a large rock. Outside, the rain continues to pour as he shivers where he's standing]
Tails: I'm not going back out there, it's too wet…and I think there's something…I don't wanna see again…
[the camera pans out to the lone cave before it cuts to both teams trying to fall asleep under the current weather, hearing the wind blow and the rain pelt against the tent roof. It then cuts to morning with the sun rising up amongst the cloud from last night's storm. The Killer Bass are shown still mostly asleep as it shifts over to Fox laying on top of something, revealing it to be Wolf, the two sleeping contentedly before the latter opens his eyes]
Wolf: Morning, Sleeping Beauty.
Fox: [yawns] What…[looks to see who's in front of him and gasps]...oh my God! [stands up] You were cuddling me!
Wolf: Last time I checked, you were the one lying down on me, did you enjoy this pillow?
Fox: [scoffs] I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.
Wolf: You just did.
Fox: Shut up!
[static buzzing]
Fox: For the record, what I did with Wolf was far from what could be considered 'cuddling' given that I was asleep when it happened, so I'm denying that any sort of affection ever happened.
[static buzzing]
Wolf: Yeah, he's completely in denial, I heard him murring peacefully in his sleep.
[static buzzing]
Tails: [groans with his fur ruffled and looking slightly dirty as he picks himself up] My head hurts…I've gotta get back to camp with the others, if I can find it…
[scene cuts to the Screaming Gophers picking themselves up from last night]
Rarity: Well, that didn't do me any favors, I can't wait to get back to camp, I must look like a wreck!
Katz: Agreed, we'll need to move fast if we're going to beat the Bass back to camp, so I'd suggest you all pack it in, and let's get going!
Top Cat: Right, right, just let me…get my hat on…
[the footage skips ahead to a shot of Chris prodding the main campfire pit with a stick, his back turned to the camera. The host turns around just as the scene zooms out to show the Killer Bass arriving]
Aquamarine: Yes! We made it back first!
[moments later, the Screaming Gophers arrive]
Rainbow Dash: Argh, no! We lost?!
Applejack: Dagnabit! [throws down her hat]
Chris: Uh-uh-uh, not so fast, Gopherinos! It seems one team's missing a player.
Jasper: What do you mean, we're all heeeeere, where's the squirt?
Prince John: Blast it all, where's that bloody Miles?!
[at that moment, a scruffy looking Tails runs into the scene]
Tails: [panting] I...I'm here…what…what did I miss?
Prince John: Oh, well, I'm so glad you asked. How about costing us the challenge?
Chris: Alright, Killer Bass! One of your fishy butts is going home! Gophers! You're going on an all-expense-paid trip to the Tuck Shoppe!
[the Gophers cheer at this and hug one another in groups of three; Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash, Angelina, Usagi, and Charlotte, Top Cat and Yogi hugging Katz in between as the red feline sweatdrops]
Usagi: Yay, we did it!
Angelina: Marvelous!
Rarity: I love you, girls!
Katz: You both, damn it, stop squishing me!
[the Bass meanwhile are less enthused with either glum, unamused, or irritated expressions]
[the scene cuts to the Screaming Gophers celebrating outside their cabin with all sorts of treats now in their possession]
Charlotte: Mmmm, these chocolate hearts are delicious!
Yogi: The taste of real food, mmmmm, it's so good!
Applejack: Ya' know, I say we never let another fight like last night get outta hand like that again, whattaya' say?
Rarity: Without a doubt, darling.
Rainbow Dash: Oh, yeah, you can say that again.
Katz: [murmuring with a roll of his eyes] Yeah, sure, give me all the sugar.
[scene cuts to the elimination ceremony where the Killer Bass are all sat down]
Chris: You've all cast your votes. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow must immediately hit the Dock of Shame, grab the Boat of Losers, and get the heck outta here! And! You can't come back. Ever. Now, I can see you're all tired, so tonight, I'll just throw them to you. Savvy? Ivy!
[the brown jacket girl accepts her prize with a smile]
Fox!
[the vulpine makes his catch]
Jasper! Prince John! Carmen! Wolf!
[one by one, the campers receive their marshmallows]
Aquamarine!
[the blue gem receives her marshmallow with a satisfied grin]
Robin, Tails! This is the final marshmallow of the evening!
[both foxes exchange an anxious glance before turning back to the host]

Robin!
Robin: [breaths a sigh of relief as he catches the marshmallow]
Aquamarine: [mock sympathy] Oh, dear, how could this have happened?
Tails: I…I don't know…[sighs]...but I'll miss you, all of you.
Aquamarine: [with a 'tear' in her eye] I'll miss you too…
[Tails walks sadly away to the Dock of Shame]
[static buzzing]
Aquamarine: Oh, how I'm going to miss that Tails, how will I ever cope…oh, that's right, because I will, his departure is no big loss, nobody suspects me of anything currently, not even the fact that I may have had a role in my 'partner's' elimination, hmmhmmhmm.
[static buzzing]
[scene cuts to Fox sitting outside the cabins when Wolf sits down next to him]
Fox: Ugh, what do you want now?
Wolf: Well, I figured it would be in my best interest to apologize for scaring you.
Fox: I was not scared, you just gave a slight jolt, total difference. Oh, and by the way, that story didn't even make sense, how could a guy just go hiding for that long without anyone noticing?
Wolf: It's not supposed to make complete sense, it's just a cheesy little story I made up, or is it?! [holds up the fake head once again, causing Fox to yelp]
Fox: [after he recomposes] Ugh, jerk!
Wolf: Yeah, but I'm your jerk…on a lighter note, the sky's pretty nice out tonight…
Fox: What…oh, yeah…right…
[the camera pans up to the two from looking at the sky]
