Chapter Eight: Up the Creek

Chris: [narrating] Last time on Total Drama Island, the competitors were forced to conquer their deepest, darkest fears.

[footage of the previous episode begins to play, briefly showing Chris announcing the challenge in the mess hall, Katz getting closed in the isolation room, and then Fox and Wolf confessing, then facing, their fears]

Not all of them succeeded.

[Robin teetering back and forth, followed by Angelina passing out and Usagi running away are shown]

But others surprised the group and faced their fears head-on.

[clips of Applejack, Wolf, and Jasper facing their fears are shown]

In a not so shocking turn of events, Prince John showed that sometimes greed matters more than being a team player, which is what got his butt booted later that night at the elimination ceremony.

[the aforementioned contestant's elimination is shown with him huffing off. A shot of the Killer Bass is then displayed, and then cuts to the host on the docks]

Currently, the Killer Bass are really sucking, while the Screaming Gophers are really riding high. With the Bass be able to come back from this series of losses? And just what is Aquamarine up to? Find out today 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 with the sun rising over the horizon before it cuts to the Killer Bass gathered outside their cabin for an indignation meeting]

Ivy: Okay, everyone, I've called this meeting to discuss our current situation. At the moment, we are not doing too well when it comes to challenges, and we need to start changing that.

Jasper: Tell me about it, we've lost the past three times in a row and it's starting to piss me off, we've clearly got the stronger players, how are we on the outs?

Wolf: Maybe Prince John had a point about dumb luck, and I cannot believe I just said something in agreement with that guy.

Robin: Perhaps we're thinking about this too hard, if we continue to stress ourselves over the predicament, we'll be more unfocused. I think the best solution is to keep a level head over the opposing team, that way, we can take victory from them more easily.

Carmen: I can work with that, we have to be more cunning than the Gophers, no doubt that their recent streak has made them even a bit cocky. So, all we need to do is string that confidence along and snap, we take it from them.

Aquamarine: A marvelous suggestion if I do say so myself, I believe I've got a few tricks up my sleeve that should help our endeavor.

Fox: Let's just avoid doing anything too dirty, we're still meant to play a fair game regardless of the circumstances.

Wolf: Oh, will you lighten up, if there's victory in our sights, we gotta take it by any means necessary.

Jasper: Even if we have to crush those stupid gophers into the dirt, I'm willing to take my chances.

Fox: [puts a paw to his forehead] I'm legit on a team of lunatics.

Robin: Not yet, ma' dear, but we're pretty close.

[static buzzing]

Fox: Wolf thinking like Wolf is something I can handle, but a team of Wolves? Call me pessimistic, but I was hoping we could play things safer.

[static buzzing]

Wolf: Fox is what I like to call a wet blanket, always has to be the voice of reason even if no one wants to hear it. Also, it's ironic hearing him talk about fairness when I can tell you that's a total sham coming from him.

[static buzzing]

[scene cuts to the Killer Bass standing in a row before the camera pans over both teams to show Chris, his back to the camera, standing next to an easel]

Chris: Bass, Gophers! Today's challenge is a true summer camp experience: a canoe trip! [Chris turns around and the camera zooms out, revealing a staircase down to a beach. Seven canoes are already laid upon the sand; three red, four green]

Chris: You'll be paddling your canoes across the lake to Boney Island. [motions to the easel, which displays a map of an island] When you get there, you must portage your canoes to the other side of the island. Which, is about a two-hour hike through treacherous, dense, jungle!

[the camera zooms in on the map, showing a skull-shaped mountain at the top, a red X nearby, and a red dashed line extending out to show the general path to another red X on the other side of the island]

Charlotte: But how do we porridge canoes? Do we use them as pots to put the mixture in?

Chris: [dumbfounded] I…don't even know how to answer that…

Katz: [sighs] It's portage, not porridge, it means to walk with your canoe.

Charlotte: Oh! That makes sense, thanks, kitty!

Katz: [rolls his eyes] Yeah, sure…you dense git.

Chris: When you arrive at the other end of the island, you'll build a rescue fire that will be judged by me!

[the Gophers are panned across as they bear generally hesitant and distrustful expressions]

The first team to paddle home and return their canoes to the beach is the winner of invincibility! Move, campers, move!

[the teams begin to run past the host and down to the beach]

Oh, wait!

[the contestants stop in their tracks, bumping into one another, and look back at the host]

One more thing I should mention! Legend has it, if you take anything off the island, you'll be cursed forever!

[some of the campers are shown gaping as thunder cracks overhead ominously]

Now! Get in your canoes, and let's have some fun!

Wolf: [sidles up next to Fox] Say, how about me and you partner up for this?

Fox: [gives a raised brow before looking at Robin] Sorry, but I've already found a partner. Robin, you and me?

Robin: [as he puts on a life vest] Sure thing, my good man.

[Wolf gives a blank stare as Fox walks off, looking over to see Carmen and Ivy have also partnered up]

Aquamarine: Looks like you're with us.

Wolf: [deadpan] Oh, joy…

Jasper: I call sitting at the front since I'll be leading this party.

Wolf: That might not be such a good idea, no offense, but we need to keep the canoe balanced.

Jasper: And just what would you suggest, Patches?

Wolf: You sit in the middle while I sit behind you and Aquamarine sits up front.

Aquamarine: Mmmmmm, I like this arrangement, does that abide by your standards, Jasper?

Jasper: [rolls her eyes] Whatever, so long as you do what I say, we shouldn't have any issues.

[static buzzing]

Aquamarine: She's delusional to think that I would willingly take orders from the likes of her, or Wolf, but for the sake of appeasing, I followed on as instructed, with a bit of assistance. [pulls out her wand]

[static buzzing]

Rarity: Applejack, you and me pair up?

Applejack: Oh, sure thing, Rarity, but I call shotgun.

Rarity: Of course, just mind that you don't splash me from the front.

Applejack: Can't promise anythin', but I'll be sure to keep that pretty mane of yours dry.

Rarity: [blushes slightly] Oh, hoho, you. [waves a hand]

Rainbow Dash: [as Charlotte hops into a boat] You just stick with me, kid, I'll have us there in before you can say Wonderbolts.

Charlotte: That sounds like fun, one time, me and my grandma were out on a canoe ride back in Vermont and we came across a giant grizzly bear, it was so cute.

Rainbow Dash: Uh, how does that translate to being cute?
Charlotte: Oh, we gave him some nuts and berries, and was on the ground in a big fluffy pile, I've even got pictures of it.

Rainbow Dash: I see, you've got quite an imagination there, I'll give you that. [pushes the canoe into the lake before getting in herself]

[Katz surveys the rest of the team to pair up with. He tries to approach Angelina, but Usagi catches her attention first and the two pair up together]

Yogi: [puts an arm around the red feline] Hey, hey, hey, what do you say, teamie? A little guys' trip for today?

Katz: If you release me, I'll consider it.

Yogi: Oh, of course, you're the boss, chief. [lets go of Katz as he tries to "dust" himself off]

Top Cat: Well then, men, let's set sail on the SS Hoagie's Alley and be on our way. We're on the gold trail as of late, and I'd rather we keep it like that.

[scene cuts to Angelina and Usagi talking amongst themselves as they paddle]

Usagi: I've been given several nicknames in the past; Dumpling Head, Bun Head, Meatball Head, you name it, I dunno why people keep comparing my hair to food.

Angelina: It's a mystery to me, didn't you say that Mamoru was usually the one to call you such?

Usagi: Oh, yeah, he used to be this uber jerk who picked on for anything I did wrong, but then I found him to be the sweetest thing ever, coupled with him being Tuxedo Mask.

Angelina: You know, I'll never understand people who are jerks to others getting into a relationship with the person they're antagonizing, but you seem to have the justification for it…even that period of time you told me of him acting distant because of some dream nonsense.

Usagi: Oh, yeah, that…that was ugly, I'll admit, though when we came to our senses, it was like love at first sight all over again. Haaaaaaaaaaaa.

Angelina: Funny, you told me you blushed at Rei's performance during that concert, and at her dress that one time, is there something you're not telling me, something that implies what I think it is?

Usagi: GEH! [blushes] AHAHAHA, don't know what you're talking about!

Angelina: Alright then, I'll leave it at that…for now.

[scene cuts to Carmen and Ivy rowing together]

Carmen: You know, I didn't peg you as the sort to ride with criminal scum such as myself.

Ivy: Believe me, I didn't expect myself to do so, but that's how the arrangement went…also…thanks for yesterday…

Carmen: Not a problem, I know not to kick a woman when she's down, and that outfit wasn't too bad.

Ivy: Ooooooh, it was pretty bad, I'm never wearing something like that again…though I appreciate you not making a mockery of it.

Carmen: Ivy, I might be a shifty character, but I'm by no means malicious, I know what it's like to be put under stress.

Ivy: Yeah…I guess that's true…

[scene cuts to Charlotte and Rainbow Dash]

Rainbow Dash: So, like, I found out that the Wonderbolts are kinda shady in general, you know, faking injuries, taking risks before common sense, and being kinda…rude during training. I mean, I still think they're pretty cool, but it's not what I was expecting to say the least.

Charlotte: I can't say I've met many people like that, especially where I come from, everyone's so nice.

Rainbow Dash: Wait, don't you come from a town where everyone lives in fear of a mini dictator? You know, the type that would make Napoleon cry?

Charlotte: Oh, silly, Vendetta's nice once you get to know her, and the kids at school are really nice people.

Katz: [as he, Top Cat, and Yogi pass the two girls] Last I checked, they were positively scarred for life living under a goblin's thumb.

Top Cat: A little terror from hell.

Yogi: Something that crawled from the scientist's lab.

Rainbow Dash: Uh, yeah, what they said…

[scene cuts to Fox and Robin]

Fox: You know something I don't understand?

Robin: What might that be?

Fox: Wolf trying to get all close to me, as if he thinks I'll want to be close to him.

Robin: Perhaps it's a sign that he wants to be more than just rivals, after all, people are capable of change.

Fox: I know that, it's just that…I don't think I'm ready for something like that, not yet anyway…

Robin: Um, Fox, is there something you're not telling me?

Fox: What? No, it's nothing, I'm fine, really.

Robin: You know, you don't have to hide anything from me, I won't make a mockery out of it.

Fox: Thanks, but…this is something I need to come to terms with on my own, just…give me some time?

Robin: [shrugs] Okay then, whatever you say, I won't press you on about it.

[scene cuts to Rarity and Applejack]

Rarity: So, what do you make of that whole cursed nonsense Chris was spewing earlier?

Applejack: Quite frankly, I dunno what he was hopin' to gain tellin' us something like that at this point.

Rarity: I know what you mean, we've seen worse things together so that just sounds like a bunch of malarky only a child would fall for.

Applejack: What do you reckon's gonna happen if I happened ta' pick somethin' off that island, I'll be cursed for entirety?

Rarity: I reckon you'll just be carrying some cheap wooden trinket the producers left scattered on the ground.

[scene cuts to Aquamarine, Jasper, and Wolf, the one in front using her wand on the paddle by moving it from side to side as it dips in the water]

Aquamarine: A wonder this wand has, I don't have to do anything besides wave it about and the labor is done for me.
Jasper: Wow, lucky you don't have to do any real work, while I'm the one doing most of it here…is it just me or is it getting harder to see?

Wolf: Uh, I don't think it's just you, seems there's fog about. Better keep a close eye out, we don't wanna run into anything.

[scene cuts to Katz, Top Cat, and Yogi]

Top Cat: So, this kinda environment sendin' tingles down your body?

Katz: Just what do you mean by that?

Top Cat: Oh, you know, you're all Mr. Dark and Mysterious, I would think this place would be a pleasure for you.

Katz: I may be "dark and mysterious", but I'm by no means edgy that I take delight in every ominous setting.

Top Cat: Eh, doesn't seem too far off if you ask me, I mean, those stoic eyes, barely smiles, has a weird obsession with spiders, I'll be surprised if you don't take some pleasure in this.

Katz: Perhaps I might have an opening sooner than I thought.

Yogi: Uh, guys, you might wanna take a look at this…

[the camera zooms out to show the cluster of seven canoes gliding through a part of the lake infested with fog and rocks. The map of Boney Island appears on-screen and fades into a shot of the island itself as Chris' words are repeated]

"You'll be paddling your canoes across the lake to Boney Island!"

[Blanketed in mist and pines, the most prominent feature of the new landscape is a central skull-shaped mountain looking out over the lake. The campers look wary as they paddle closer, and as the first few canoes run ashore, the focus is put on Katz, Top Cat, and Yogi]

Yogi: Would ya' get a load of this? It's like one of those movie settings, you know, like in those horror films.

[a screeching gust of wind crosses over the skull-shaped mountain, as does the camera]

Yogi: Uhhhh, you reckon there's a chance we can make this visit as short as possible?

Top Cat: Yeeeeeeeah, I don't really wanna stay here longer than necessary.

Usagi: Uhhhhhhh, you don't think there's anything too scary on this island…besides that creepy-looking skull, right?

Angelina: I'm hoping there isn't…[shivers at the sound of something hissing from the woods]...and I'm hoping that we come out alive.

Katz: [looks into the interior as his group picks up their canoe] Whatever's in there will know fear for the first time…

[Top Cat and Yogi share an awkward glance at each other before they set off]

[the two teams are shown running through the forest, passing an eerie number of impaled skulls along the trail]

Rainbow Dash: Man, this place is downright creepy, like we just stepped into a warzone levels of creepy.

Charlotte: Oooooh, lookit those trees, so sharpy and pointy!

Rainbow Dash: Aaaaand you're smiling about it…okay.

[a large tree falls in front of the Killer Bass]

Aquamarine: YIP!

[several pairs of yellow eyes open in the darkness around them. A bush rustles off to the side]

Aquamarine: What was that?

[a large animal with shaggy brown fur, bucked teeth, and gnarled tusks pops its head into view. Several more follow, and a few of the beasts even take heavy steps towards the terrified campers]

Ivy: Monster beavers! Run for it!

[static buzzing]

Chris: A remnant of the Pleistocene era, the Woolly Beaver is a day-active rodent, indigenous to Boney Island. Oh yeah, and they're meat-eaters! [winks]

[static buzzing]

Ivy: When I signed up for a show like this, being chased by prehistoric creatures was not what I had in mind!

[static buzzing]

[the Killer Bass are shown running away from a pack of no less than five beavers. They pass a bear rubbing its back against a tree; it watches the procession in confusion and even pulls out a pair of eyeglasses, presumably to verify what it has seen. The Bass continue to run with Carmen and Ivy at the front]

Carmen: Oh, that's not good…

[the group comes upon a shallow pool nestled against a dead-end cliff. There are numerous gatherings of grass and twigs dotted along the cliffside, and the beavers are shown giving up their pursuit at the edge of the pool]

Fox: Hey, they're leaving!

Carmen: Not that I'm upset that they're going, but why did they just up and leave?

Wolf: Is it a bad time to point out that we should look up?

[above the rock, the animals had coloration reminiscent of Canada Geese, but they are much larger, have elongated head-crests, and possess bills full of teeth. They begin to squawk and chatter at the campers]

Jasper: Yup, we're screwed…again.

[the shot cuts to the Killer Bass running and screaming past the same glasses-wearing bear, this time with the monster geese in pursuit. The bear, apparently unaccustomed to such sights, snaps its glasses with a grunt]

Aquamarine: Get away, you vermin! [zaps her wand at the geese and yanks back for them to be thrown off course]

Ivy: Okay, that might have bought us some time! [hears the geese calling from the sky] Maybe not!

Robin: Idea! We hide under the canoes until they've passed by, that should throw them off! Those who can't fit take shelter in the bushes!

[the Bass stop running and kneel down with their canoes, closest to the bushes so that their taller and wider members have the opportunity to conceal themselves. The geese, unable to track their targets, give up on the chase. Just as soon as the Bass catch some relief, it's interrupted by the passing of the opposing team]

Jasper: Oh, you've got to be kidding me!

Wolf: Right then, let's get a move on!

[the footage cuts to the Screaming Gophers at a fork in the trail]

Yogi: Which way do we go?
Rainbow Dash: I'm thinking left.

Applejack: But the right trail's wider, so we should be able to move more quickly.

Rarity: I think that makes sense taking the canoes into consideration.

[as the Gophers make their way to the right, the Bass come into view]

Fox: I think I saw the Gophers turning right, do we follow or make haste left?

Wolf: It's a risk we'll have to take, who knows, it might be a shortcut.

[the scene skips ahead to show the four Gopher sub-teams slowly but steadily making their way through the dense forest. Usagi is shown taking the lead, but then she starts to sink into the ground]

Usagi: Uh, guys, I think we might have a problem…I'M SINKING IN QUICKSAND!

Angelina: Good lord!

[static buzzing]

Usagi: Okay, can you imagine something more horrifying than quicksand, like you're being sucked down into the earth? [shudders]

[static buzzing]

Chris: [chuckles] Can you believe they fell for that? I set it up, but I didn't think anyone would walk into it! That's just great!

[static buzzing]

Usagi: A little help here, please?! I kinda don't wanna die today!

Angelina: Grab my hand! [catches the pigtailed girl's hand and tries to pull] ERRRRRRRR!

Rarity: [holds onto Angelina's waist] I've got you! [tries to pull back] Come on, come on, come on!

Applejack: Hold on there, ladies, I gotcha! [grabs onto Rarity's waist and pulls back] Man, you're wedged in like caramel!

[the mouse and the mares struggle to pull Usagi back onto firm ground, but they finally manage it, simultaneously falling on top of one another as they do so]

Usagi: Oh, thank God, I thought I was done for!

Katz: [under his breath] Wasting time here, but alright, have their moment.

[the scene cuts to the Gophers arriving at the beach, the Bass having already made their mark and working on their fire. Wolf is rubbing two sticks together on the latter team's tinder pile. He blows on the small flames and soon the tinder pile is alight]

Yogi: Okay, I see we're gonna have ta' pick up the pace.

[the shot cuts to Chris piloting a small red helicopter]

Chris: Edge: Killer Bass!

[Angelina and Usagi are shown gathering wood off the beach for their team while Katz watches. He then walks over to a nearby bush. The music takes an ominous bent as the feline's eyes go wide, and a small wooden object is shown lying on the ground. It is a carved idol, and its appearance is accompanied by a brief rattling sound]

"If you take anything off the island, you'll be cursed forever!

Katz: [scowls] Oh please, do they really expect me to fall for such dribble? Honestly, it's like working with a bunch of untrained monkeys. [chucks the idol away]

[the camera cuts over to Jasper and Aquamarine surveying a different part of the beach]

Aquamarine: You know, you and I are elites back from where we are.

Jasper: Yeah, sure.

Aquamarine: Soooooo, I was thinking that the two of us should work together.

Jasper: And what makes you think I wanna work with someone puny like you?

Aquamarine: Well, for one thing, I can offer you protection from the vote with a little diplomacy with the rest of the team, we've both got strengths in different areas, and we both want to win.

Jasper: Hmmmmm…

Aquamarine: So, what do you say?

Jasper: If you back out of this by any chance, I will kill you, you understand?

Aquamarine: Affirmative.

Jasper: Right then, I'll be watching you…

[static buzzing]

Jasper: Do I trust Aquamarine? Not as much as I could throw her, but a deal's a deal, so long as she keep her end of the bargain, and she'd better do it.

[static buzzing]

[scene cuts to Charlotte and Rainbow Dash creating something into a ball]

Angelina: Excuse me, but what are you making there?

Charlotte: It's a surprise!
Angelina: Okay then, well, I'd appreciate it if the surprise would be beneficial to our firemaking.

Rainbow Dash: Don't stress yourself, this little thing's gonna assure us a blazing win, I can tell you that.

Carmen: The fire's coming along nicely.

Wolf: Yeah, well, it's a knack after all, would have used a lighter, but we needed to play things 'safe' last I checked.

Carmen: Regardless, it seems we finally have an edge over the Gophers.

Ivy: Hold on, what's that they've got there?

Top Cat: [while attending to the fire] Care to explain what that is?

Katz: It looks like a ball of dry sap and mud, what benefit is that supposed to give us?

Rainbow Dash: Relax, would ya', me and Charlotte made it out of tree sap and some other plants in the woods, it'll give our fire the boost it needs. Stand back, everyone, this is gonna be big.

[the other Gophers stand back as Rainbow Dash, donning a crazy smile on her face, throws the ball into the fire, the camera switching to a full shot of the beach they are on as the fire suddenly tripled in size. Chris is shown watching from his helicopter when he backs up to avoid the flames]

Chris: Woo! Looks like we've got our fire building winners! Point for the Gophers!

[the shot shows the Killer Bass with their mouths agape before panning over to the Screaming Gophers donning grins and smiles]

Applejack: That's the biggest dern fire I've ever seen in ma life!

Rarity: Impressive to say the least!

Usagi: Wow, that was so cool! Where'd you learn to make something like that?

Rainbow Dash: Oh, it's just something I picked up from Charlotte from her camping trip.

Charlotte: Yeah, we made ourselves a big fire this one time by using a ball of sap, twigs, mud, and a little bit of gunpowder that was lying around. Yeah, the park ranger called in what he thought was a forest fire, and we were never able to camp in that site again for fear of setting the trees alight, tee-hee.

Angelina: You scare me sometimes, you know that.

[scene cuts to the Gophers setting into the water first]

Charlotte: Bye-bye, fishies! I hope you all make it to the other side!

Rainbow Dash: That is, if you can.

Jasper: [crosses her arms] Smug little bitch.

Ivy: No time for dawdling, this is our chance to take back the win.

Carmen: We just need to put all of our effort into rowing, all parties need to give 110% or we're done for.

[the Bass climb into their canoes as music similar to that of "Pirates of the Carribean" plays over the sequence. Each member of the team raises their paddles and dips them into the water, pushing with all their might from side to side. The Gophers appear to be having a relatively easy time until the sounds of the approaching Bass catch them by surprise]

Carmen: Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!

Ivy: Come on, put your backs into it!

[the Bass vigorously continue to paddle and soon they overtake the Gophers who now try to regain ground]

Angelina: What the?!

Rainbow Dash: Come on, come on, come on, hurry up!

Top Cat: Shoot, we let our guard down!

Yogi: Oh, this isn't good…

[the Screaming Gophers try their hardest to take back the lead from the Killer Bass, but it's no use. The latter team are the first to disembark on Wawanakwa Island]

Chris: The Bass are the winners!

[the Killer Bass cheer at this]

Robin: Marvelous!

Aquamarine: We did it!

Jasper: Yes!

[the Gophers arrive with slightly stunned expressions]

Chris: Gophers, what can I say, you had a streak going on, but now it's over. I'll be seeing you all at the ceremony tonight.

[as the Gophers begin to head off from the beach, Katz comes up alongside Usagi]

Katz: Have you taken consideration into what I've said?

Usagi: What about?

Katz: You know, regarding the vote, specifically?

Usagi: Oh…yeah, I suppose you could say that.

Katz: Good to know.

[scene cuts to nighttime as a wolf is shown howling against the moon as the elimination ceremony begins, the Screaming Gophers sitting in the rows with bated breath]

Chris: And now, the always anxiety-induding marshmallow ceremony.

[the camera pans across the Gophers, glancing at one another]

When I call your name, come and get a marshmallow…Applejack!

[the orange earth pony smiles and claims her prize]

Rarity!

[the white unicorn smiles and stands up]

Top Cat!

[the yellow cat grins and stands up]

Yogi!

[the brown bear gets up to receive a marshmallow]

Angelina!

[the mouse gives a smile and then walks up to the plate]

Katz!

[the red feline makes a sound of approval and claims his prize]

Usagi!

[the blonde girl breaths a sigh of relief as she stands up, leaving Charlotte, who's playing with her hair, and Rainbow Dash as the bottom two]

One last marshmallow. The person who doesn't get this marshmallow will walk off the Dock of Shame and take a ride on the Boat of Losers. Who's it gonna be?

Charlotte!

Charlotte: Huh? Oh, yay! [jumps up to collect the final marshmallow]

Rainbow Dash: Awww, what? How did I get the boot?

Katz: [rolls his eyes] It's a mystery to me…[flicks the marshmallow into his mouth]

Rainbow Dash: [sighs sadly] I guess I'd better get going.

Rarity: [as she and Applejack come alongside her] Not without saying goodbye to us, you aren't.

Applejack: C'mon, sugercube, we'll see ya' off.

Rainbow Dash: Thanks, girls…

[the three ponies walk off to the dock]

[scene cuts to the outside of the Killer Bass cabin where Fox is seen sitting on the steps, looking up at the sky, unaware of the person behind him]

Wolf: [grabs Fox by the shoulders] Saved your life!

Fox: OH! [looks back with an unamused scowl] Oh, great, have your laugh now?

Wolf: Maybe, but also because I can Canis Major up in the sky tonight.

Fox: Really now…point to it…

Wolf: [points up to the sky] Right up there.

Fox: [looks in the exact direction] Uh…oh, yeah, there it is…

[the camera shifts up to the constellation in question before it cuts to Boney Island, the shot then focusing on the wooden idol from Boney Island, nestled in between two rocks. Lightning flashes, and the scene rapidly zooms out to the full shot of the island as the lights are turned off and the feed cuts to static]
