Chapter Nine: Paintball Deer Hunter
Chris: [narrating] Last time on Total Drama Island, both teams set out on a canoe trip, to deadly Boney Island!
[the opening clip is a pan across the seven canoes to show the teams walking up to them, which soon fades into the map of their destination, and a shot of the island itself, followed by a montage of the two teams paddling across the lake]
Aquamarine formed an alliance with Jasper, can't wait to see how short that lasts, the Killer Bass had to deal with woolly beavers and geese, Katz found a souvenir that he instantly chucked away, lucky him, and the Screaming Gophers made a total inferno out of their bonfire.
[scenes of the two gems talking, the Bass running away from the aforementioned beasts, Katz chucking away the idol without a second doubt and then Rainbow Dash throwing the fireball into her team's tinder pile are shown, followed by the aforementioned inferno]
Despite holding the streak for the last few episodes, the Screaming Gophers were caught off guard by the Killer Bass who managed to win the day.
[the scene of the Bass overtaking the Gophers is shown]
In the end, Rainbow Dash ended up getting the boot for concern of being too OP, but not before her gal pals waved her off.
[the aforementioned contestant's elimination is shown along with her teammates seeing her off. It then cuts to Chris standing on the docks]
Will the Killer Bass come back strong once again, and can my teeth get any whiter? [holds up a mirror] Find out here 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 a view of the night sky before it pans down to the forest, the sound of rustling being heard as something dashes in between the trees. It then cuts to the bathrooms where the sound of rushing water can be heard from inside. The next shot pans through the interior before it settles on a single stall with steam coming out of it. A voice that sounds similar to Katz can be heard from inside the stall as his silhouette matches]
Katz: In sleep he sang to me
In dreams he came
That voice which calls to me
And speaks my name
And do I dream again?
For now I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my mind
[Top Cat is shown to be walking towards the bathroom ready for a shower of his own until he stops by the door and listens intently]
Top Cat: What in the…?
[the yellow cat opens the door to hear someone singing from the stalls…the voice in question gives him a rather smug look as he quietly gets ready to take a shower himself, stepping into the stall to the right of Katz's]
Katz: Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
Katz and Top Cat: I am the mask you wear
It's me they hear
[Katz abruptly stops singing as his eyes widen, looking to the stall next to him]
Top Cat: I didn't know you were musically inclined.
Katz: I'm not, I just happen to…have an appreciation for music…
Top Cat: By singing in the shower it seems.
Katz: If you make one mention of this to the others, I will drown you in the lake.
Top Cat: Oooooh, someone's testy, and to think I was gonna say you have a lovely singing voice.
Katz: Are you trying to flirt with me or something?
Top Cat: If you wanna interpret it like that.
Katz: [sighs] The things I have to put up…
Top Cat: Oh, come now, it can't be any worse than I've heard of your past escapades.
Katz: You dare not mention that in my presence.
Top Cat: Okay then, keep ya' secrets.
[Katz rolls his eyes as he goes back to lathering himself. It then cuts to the beach where Applejack and Rarity are seen taking a walk]
Applejack: Ya' know, when we're not doin' all that challenge guff, it makes things like this all the more relaxin'.
Rarity: You can say that again, stressing ourselves out day in and day out, makes me appreciate moments where it's just the sounds of the lake.
Applejack: I hear ya'...it's a clear sky tonight, full moon and stars, really makes one think…
Rarity: Does it now? What comes to mind?
Applejack: Ah, ya' know, just stuff, all this peace and quiet, gives me time to reflect…hehe, you remember when we first met?
Rarity: You mean when we were trying to stop the world being encased in total darkness? Classic memories. [sighs] I remember when things were simpler, when we were just starting to know each other better, back when we had more of our…quirks.
Applejack: Ya' mean back when you had this whole supposed shallowness complex a' yers, or so it was rumored?
Rarity: Reminds me of a certain farm girl who wore herself out trying to get the entire orchard picked without any help.
Applejack: Alright, I'll give ya' that, still makes one realize just how far we've come since then, even if we still have some a' those quirks.
Rarity: Well, at least that's mostly in the past now and we can continue to move on with-OH! [trips over a rock as Applejack catches her in a dip pose] Thanks for that…[notices the position she's in and blushes]...weeeeell, hehe, this is a bit awkward…
Applejack: Huh, oh, right, sorry about that…[pulls Rarity up]
Rarity: Oh, no need to apologize, heh…[tucks a curl back]...do you reckon we should head back now?
Applejack: Yeah, sure thing, after all, gotta be up and at 'em for whatever's in store for tomorrow, am I right?
Rarity: Yeah, that's true…
[an owl sounds in the distance, causing Rarity to put a hand to her mouth in surprise before giving a chuckle along with Applejack before the two head back down the beach and towards their cabin. The scene then cuts to early morning with a peaceful tune alongside a scene of a rabbit hopping across the common area; the shadow and sounds of a helicopter disturb the tranquility as Chris, in pilot's uniform, flies over the cabins and winks at the camera. The shot cuts to the inside of the girls' cabin as Rarity jolts awake]
Rarity: GAH! [blinks twice before her face sours] For crying out loud, is it too much to have a normal wakeup call?! [stuffs her face with the pillow]
Applejack: [rubs her eyes in annoyance] Of course, wake up with a dang helicopter, that makes perfect sense, init? Dumb halfwit…
[the other girls in the cabin are now awake and look similarly annoyed, minus Charlotte with her usual carefree expression]
[back outside, the helicopter flies over the Bass cabin, cutting to the interior where Wolf removes the pillow from his face with a murderous glint in his eye]
Wolf: I'm going to kill that man. Trust me, I'm within reason to do so.
Fox: Yeah, you kill him, and end up in prison for manslaughter.
Wolf: Oh, like any prison could hold me.
Fox: Keep telling yourself that.
Robin: I take it you two are up if the squabbling is anything to go by?
[the scene cuts to the bathrooms where Robin is inside one of the stalls taking a shower while listening to Wolf and Fox from outside]
Wolf: I'm just saying, Corneria's a sumbitch government that tries to act like it has all the answers when it makes some pretty dumbass decisions.
Fox: Even so, I don't think you have much room to talk in the "dumbass decisions" area, all things considered.
Wolf: Could say the same for yourself.
Robin: You know, the both of you sound like a shower would help ease the tension.
Wolf: Together or separate?
Fox: You know the answer to that.
Wolf: Okay then, I'll just do it with Robin.
Fox: Fine, go ahead, knock yourself out.
Robin: [sweatdrops] Hoooooo, boy, this can only go so well.
[static buzzing]
Robin: What those two need is communication, sure, I've seen them have the odd chance of getting alone in solitude, but right when morning comes, they have to start up again. If only there was a way to get them together while meeting in the middle…
[static buzzing]
[the footage flashes ahead to the campers assembled before Chris]
Chris: Are you ready, for today's EXTREME MAX IMPACT CHALLENGE?!
[Angelina and Usagi share an unamused glance at each other]
Chris: [rolls his eyes] Whatever. [throws a can at the contestants]
[Applejack catches one of the cans before it flies in between her and Rarity. Some more cans are tossed to Angelina and Katz]
This is breakfast.
Katz: You're telling me that a can of beans is breakfast? That's hardly what one would consider affable.
Yogi: Well, if you're not eatin' 'em, I'd gladly take them off your hands. I'm so hungry, I could eat anything.
Katz: Is that so? In that case…[backflips the can towards Yogi who tries to catch it before it bonks off his nose]
Chris: Today's challenge is about survival. We're going hunting! [pulled out a lime green gun from behind his back, which got the attention of a few campers]
Wolf: Now you're talking.
Carmen: I fancy myself a bit of target practice.
Charlotte: Oooooh, paintball!
Katz: You had me at 'hunting'.
Chris: This is the first ever paintball deer hunt! I'll announce the teams once we get into the woods! Sooo, finish brekkie!
Yogi: In that case, I'll be finishin' quicker than Tinker in a race through the Sahara.
[the scene skips forward again, showing the two teams standing apart from each other. In front of them, Chris stands next to a large rack, upon which several colored paintball guns are hanging]
Chris: And now for the team breakdowns. The Killer Bass hunters are Carmen, Ivy, and Robin, locked and loaded with Bass Blue paint! [tosses lime green guns to the aforementioned players] And using orange paint are the Gopher hunters; Applejack, Yogi, Top Cat, and Charlotte! [tosses magenta guns to the aforementioned players]
Charlotte: Yippee, I get to hold a gun!
Chris: [putting on a pair of orange-tinted safety glasses and camouflage-print hat] You also get these stylin' glasses an' wicked camo caps! The rest of you are now deer. [holds up an antler headband and a small stick-on nose] Here are your antlers, noses, aaaaand little white tails. [turns around wiggling his own fake tail with a laugh]
Katz: Um, no, I am not wearing that.
Wolf: You're seriously making me a deer, no way.
Chris: Take these off and your team is toast.
Katz: [looks back to hear Top Cat snickering] What pray tell is so funny back there?
Top Cat: Oh nothing, just those antlers really suit you, Bambi.
Katz: You better be a good shot, street scum.
[the Bass logo appears in the top right corner as the team's four deer are shown walking through the woods]
Jasper: At least we got a headstart, I hate this stupid outfit all the same.
Fox: I think it suits the big guy back here.
Wolf: Hahaha, hilarious, aren't you? [pulls back on Fox's fake tail so that it whips him]
Fox: Ow! Real mature, jerk.
Jasper: Could you two maybe not be annoying right now? [sighs] I'm going my own way, don't wait up on me. [walks off to the left]
[scene cuts to the Bass' three hunters with Ivy marking out a plan on the ground with a stick in the dirt]
Ivy: Okay, if we're gonna pick off the Gophers, I've devised a plan that should help us get a lead on them. Usagi is the least likely to find a good spot to hide from us given she's the most prone to clumsiness, Rarity might fare a little better in that area, but I don't expect she'll find somewhere that won't chip a nail. Angelina seems to be a bit crafty so we might have to watch out for her, and Katz…well, he's a wild card, unpredictable that one.
Carmen: I'd say that sounds like a thorough investigation of our competition, we go after the weakest of the herd and then we take the main attraction by surprise. One thing I'd also suggest is sorting out how we'll eliminate the hunters, though I guess that shouldn't be too much of an issue given we're up against a little girl and a bear who probably doesn't have any know-how of a weapon.
Robin: I wouldn't underestimate Top Cat and especially Applejack, the former might look like he's blissfully ignorant, but I can sense he's got a few tricks up his sleeve. And the latter, I think her actions speak for themselves, the woman has the same stamina as myself.
Carmen: We'll stick to the current plan and then change it up if we need to.
Ivy: I'm going after the first batch of deer, you two take your positions anywhere that's plausible.
Robin: I believe I know where I'm going first.
[scene cuts to the Gophers' deer walking through the forest]
Rarity: I can't say that I particularly fancy this attire, but at the risk of penalization, I suppose I'll have to put up with it.
Katz: While you're doing that, I'm going to make move on my plan to stay safe for the rest of the game.
Rarity: You sure you want to split up from the group?
Katz: I'm perfectly capable of managing on my own, you worry about your own fluffy tails.
[Angelina, Rarity, and Usagi all glance at each other, but say nothing as they continue to walk one way while Katz walks the other before coming to a stop on a lowly tree stump]
Katz: This should be a good place to wait, at least until I can stop some hunters. Now then…[unsheathes his claws to start writing on top of the stump]
[scene cuts to Yogi hiding amongst the trees]
Yogi: He was once the hunted, but now he has become the hunter. Ready to unleash his vengeance on the world, the smarter than the average bear disguises himself carefully among his familiar environment. [gasps and dives into the bush. He then peers out to see Jasper about several yards away from him] It seems he's found his first victim, completely unaware like a deer in the headlights.
[Yogi steps out from his spot and begins to approach the orange gem…before he steps on a twig, alerting her at once]
Jasper: Not today, fuzzball. [runs off into the woods]
Yogi: Ah, shoot, she's fast…but it'll take a lot more than great muscles and unlimited power to stop this hunter! CHARGE! [takes off after Jasper]
[scene cuts back to Katz drawing something on the stomp]
Charlotte: Hi, kitty! [Katz looks up] What are you doing?
Katz: I am simply formulating a plan, but I do have a request to ask of you.
Charlotte: Oh, okay, do you need me to find you some food, I know there's berries around here.
Katz: That…would be nice admittedly, but it's something more to do with setting a trap.
Charlotte: What kind of trap?
Katz: Oh, you know, the usual kind that no one expects, to test the know-how of our more experienced adversaries, do you get what I'm saying?
Charlotte: Yep…no, not a clue.
Katz: [sighs] Just follow me.
Charlotte: Okay! Clap, clap, clap, gonna set a trap,
Clap, clap, clap, gonna do it-
Katz: If you would ever so kindly stop making so much noise, that would be great.
Charlotte: Oh, okay…[soflty]...clap, clap, clap, gonna set a trap.
Katz: [with a hand to his face] Give me strength…
[scene cuts to Jasper and Yogi continuing their chase through the forest]
Yogi: You can't outrun me, we both have stumpy legs!
Jasper: That's what you think, I've run faster than this since I was first made!
Yogi: Bold words comin' from someone wearin' antlers and a fake nose!
Jasper: You wanna play it like that, fat ass, let's see you get some exercise!
Yogi: I'm an animal of the wild, a predator, a king of the beasts, I'll be the one who conquers all!
[the scene cuts to outside of the dining hall where Katz and Charlotte approach it until they see a figure about to come out, ducking behind the corner of the building as Chef emerges, wearing swim trunks and an inner tube. Whistling happily, he makes his way past the two campers and across the common area]
Katz: [steps out from his spot] Right then, I'm going to sneak into the hall and get myself some food, you stay out here and keep guard in case he comes back.
Charlotte: Sure thing…[as Katz leaves, she gains a confused expression]...wait, how am I going to keep guard?
[static buzzing]
Charlotte: I've never really kept on guard for anything as memory serves, so I thought I'd make the most of it.
[static buzzing]
[Charlotte walks back and forth with her gun like a soldier defending the building, an army drum plays over her marching]
[the scene cuts to Applejack rising up from a bush to see if she can spot anything]
Applejack: God dang it, when am I gon' find a single deer out in these woods? It can't be this hard. [hears something rustling behind her] Finally, some decent action. [clocks her gun and slowly walks back before turning around to aim]
Top Cat: Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy there, it's just me, Top Cat! You know, the guy on your team?
Applejack: Damn, sorry about that, you caught anything yet?
Top Cat: Unfortunately, my findings are null, not a single deer in these parts for me to shoot, can you believe it?
Applejack: [sighs] I suppose we'll have to keep lookin', even if it takes till sundown.
Top Cat: Or whenever this stupid challenge ends.
[the two are suddenly interrupted by a pair of voices yelling, watching Jasper rush past then, followed by Yogi]
Applejack: Ooooooookay…that happened.
Top Cat: When Yogi Bear goes off the rails, he really means it.
[scene cuts back to the dining hall where Katz is seen inside coming out from the kitchen, holding a yellow box in hand]
Katz: Vanilla biscuits, my one secret weakness, how I cannot resist thee.
[just as Katz puts one in his mouth, his eyes widen at Chef's silhouette on the other side of the door. Quickly, he ducks below one of the tables just as the hulking man enters the room. The focus cuts to Chef still whistling with his eyes closed, until his eyes suddenly open at the sound of something behind him, looking back to see nothing back there but the sound of something running away quickly. It cuts to Katz dragging Charlotte away as they race off from the dining hall]
Charlotte: Wow, you can run fast!
Katz: What part of "warn me of him" did you not understand?! How do you miss a man that's four times your size?!
Charlotte: Ooooooooh, that…I think I got a little too carried away with acting as a soldier, hehe…
Katz: [sighs] Why am I not surprised?
[scene cuts to black, the episode continues]
[Jasper is seen racing up a tall gradient as Yogi is still chasing after her]
Yogi: [panting] You might think…I would be…tiring at this rate…but not until…I get my…catch…
Jasper: This bear just doesn't give up, does he? [screeches to a stop when she sees the end of a cliff, the same one that they all jumped off several episodes back] Oh, shoot…
Yogi: [trailing from behind] I…I finally…caught you…just gimme…a moment…[trips over a rock and falls on his face, dropping his gun in the process. As soon as he picks his face from the ground, he notices something pointed towards his nose, looking up to see Jasper holding his gun]...uh, hehe, you don't mind calling it quits, right?
Jasper: I never call quits…on anything.
Yogi: Uh, have mercy…[holds his hands up]...I surrender…[gets struck several times in the chest] AW! OW!
Jasper: You were saying something, hunter?
Yogi: Yeah…that really hurt…
[scene cuts to Carmen and Ivy walking through the forest]
Carmen: Well, it's been several hours, and we've yet to find anything worth shooting.
Ivy: I guess I underestimated how much everyone was capable of, maybe we need to come up with a new plan.
Carmen: At this point, we just need to find someone or something that looks like a deer, that'll be cause enough to shoot it.
[scene cuts to Rarity sitting up in a tree]
Rarity: [yawns] To think I found this hiding spot and yet no one's come around, hunter or deer, maybe I'll just climb down and…[hears voices approaching and stops talking]
Carmen: Maybe the order was in reverse, it's the one you least expect to have the best hiding spot.
Ivy: That might as well be the case with these guys.
[as soon as the two are far enough, Rarity breathes a sigh of relief]
[scene cuts to Katz and Charlotte standing next to a patch of grass that is noticeably darker in color than the rest]
Charlotte: So you plan to catch someone with this?
Katz: No, I was hoping to catch a collection of unicorns.
Charlotte: Wow, really?!
Katz: Of course I wasn't, I'm not you, and quite frankly the thought is disturbing. I spotted a couple targets back there, so I'll attract their attention to come here and fall right into the trap.
Charlotte: Oooooh, I see now, that's a good plan.
Katz: Well, it came from my head, so naturally it was going to be good. Anyways, you can be off now, I have a trap to set.
Charlotte: Alright then, see you later, kitty! [skips off while Katz grimaces]
Katz: Blasted mosquitos…[scratches his fur which leaves a few traces on the grass]
[static buzzing]
Charlotte: You know, I think he really gets me, likes my ideas and such.
[static buzzing]
[scene cuts to Yogi struggling to stand up as he drags himself across the forest]
Yogi: So many hours…wasted…need to conserve…strength…[flops into a bush and lays there…until he hears something walking from the other side, spotting Wolf walking past the bush]...on second thought, this just might be my lucky shot, hehehe…
[the footage cuts to Wolf taking a drink of water from the river before it pans over to Yogi aiming from a bush]
Yogi: I got you now…this is how the food chain goes…
[before Yogi can take the shot, the sound of a gun going off alerts Wolf and he springs to the other side of the river]
Yogi: Oh, come on!
[static buzzing]
Yogi: Just one deer…just one DAMN DEER is all I ask!
[static buzzing]
[scene cuts to Fox propping himself up against a tree]
Wolf: Enjoying yourself?
Fox: No more than you seem to be, I'm surprised you've lasted this long.
Wolf: Oh, didn't expect the guy who's been getting outta nooks and crannies his whole life to still be here?
Fox: I'm sure there's an exaggeration somewhere in that sentence, anyway, I'm heading back, it's been several hours and this game has to be over by now. [begins to walk off]
Wolf: You're going the wrong way.
Fox: [stops] Excuse me? I'm the one with solid depth perception, I have a natural sense of direction.
Wolf: Well, sorry if it happens to be off since I know that camp is this way.
[Fox rolls his eyes as he begins to walk forward, the same as Wolf, until something shoves the former right into the latter, causing their antlers to tie up with one another]
Fox: Ah, very funny…now let me go…
Wolf: In case you haven't noticed, this isn't exactly my idea of fun either, arf…
Fox: Great…oh, Robin? Robin! Over here!
Robin: My, my, what have you two gotten yourselves into?
Wolf: Well, we've gotten our antlers tangled up as you can see.
Robin: Well, that's certainly a predicament you've got there.
Fox: Yeah, could you give a hand with this?
Robin: I think I'll let you two solve this one for yourselves.
Wolf: I'm sorry, what now?
Fox: [as Robin walks off] You're not serious about this, are you…Robin? Robin? Robin! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!
Robin: You can thank me later!
Fox: Oh…well, isn't this just perfect, now what?
Wolf: Well, you could make the most of it…
Fox: Wolf…shut up…
[scene cuts to Applejack walking]
Applejack: Oh, this is just plain ridiculous, I've been walkin' around these woods and ain't find me a single thang to shoot at. What kind of sick game is this? [a rustle suddenly catches her attention] Please, let this be somethin'...[begins to chase after the sound of running footsteps] C'mon, now, ya' can't run from me forev-AH! [falls into a hole with a thud] OW! That dang smarts! Aaaaaaah…[a bit of red falls on her face to which she blows off]...well, ain't this just ma' luck…hold on, this looks like…hair or fur…now how coulda…I wonder…
[static buzzing]
Applejack: I have ma' suspicions and believe me, they're usually pretty accurate…
[static buzzing]
[scene cuts to Top Cat aiming ready to take a shot at Aquamarine]
Top Cat: I've been stuck holdin' this thing for hours, now's the time to let loose…
Applejack: [off-screen] Hey, you!
[Aquamarine gasps and runs off, Top Cat puts down his gun in surprise at this before scowling]
Top Cat: Ah, damn it, AJ.
[scene cuts to Applejack approaching Katz]
Applejack: Gee, thanks fer the headsup back there.
Katz: Whatever do you mean by that?
Applejack: Oh, don't play dumb, I know you made that trap back there, the one I just fell into, found yer fur on it as well.
Katz: Well, that's just your bad luck, isn't it?
Applejack: Don't you be sassy with me, you knew I was coming that way and you purposely tripped me up!
Katz: I believe that the saying is innocent until proven guilty, so you currently have nothing to go against me other than your presumptions.
Applejack: Believe me when I say that these eyes don't lie, but I can tell yours do, prolly wouldn't be the first time either.
Katz: Are you purposely trying to step over the line, because you're doing a very good job at it.
[Top Cat and Charlotte arrive to witness the commotion from either side]
Applejack: Oh, what's the problem, never had someone tell ya' how it is, well, I ain't one of yer bootlickin' business partners, I can tell just by lookin' at you that you ain't honest about anythang, bet that must feel real good.
Katz: Better than being a nosy little ingrate putting herself up on a moral pedestal just because she's honest most of the time, yet even goes against her own principles, how's that for a hypocrite?
[Rarity arrives upon hearing the noise and casts a worried look over the situation. Not too far off from her, Carmen, Ivy, and Robin hear the shouting]
Applejack: At least people like me for who I am and not because I'm some thin twig psychopath with crumbs on his mouth!
Katz: [eye twitches before turning to Charlotte] Give me your gun.
[Charlotte, not arguing anything, hands the feline her gun]
Rarity: Um, you two, maybe it's best that we tone things down a little bit?
Applejack: Oh, I'll tone down, as soon as this two-bit liar admits that he-
[Applejack is suddenly shot in the chest. Charlotte, Rarity, and Top Cat all gasp at this]
Top Cat: Oh…shit…
Applejack: [looks down at the stain on her chest…before returning her glare to Katz] You nasty sumbitch…[shots Katz right back in the chest]
[the two Gophers begin shooting back and forth at one another, occasionally hitting their fellow teammates as they do so, only to suddenly be pelted by blue paint out of nowhere. It is revealed that Carmen, Ivy, and Robin have taken full advantage of their vulnerable position]
Carmen: Enjoy the art show, Gophers?
Loudspeakers: Attention, wildlife and hunters! Please report back to camp! It's time to show your hides and tally up the scores!
[scene cuts back to the base]
Chris: Tsk, tsk, tsk. Stealing from Chef. Eating cookies in the woods. Getting caught in traps. Do you know what I see here?
[the paint-splattered Gophers share a look of dread]
I see a very undisciplined group. I see a disgraceful mess. I see a massive waste of paint product! And I have to say…that was awesome! Haha! When you guys opened fire on your own team? Wicked TV, guys.
[Katz gives a deep scowl and looks away while Applejack looks away shamefaced]
Ivy: Hold on, where's Fox and Wolf?
Robin: I believe the answer shall be right in front of you. [points in the direction of the aforementioned players walking together with their antlers still tied]
Carmen: [tries to hold back a chuckle] I take it you boys had fun?
Wolf: Oh, yeah, the guy couldn't keep his hands off me.
Fox: Ooooooh, you're such a comedian, now will someone please untie us? It's really uncomfortable crouching like this.
[Jasper and Robin help untangle their teammates from their bondage]
Chris: Well, since six of the Gophers are dripping in paint, and some of them aren't even deer, I think we have our winner! To a hunting camp shindig!
[the Killer Bass cheer for their victory while the Screaming Gophers look down, either angry or glum]
Gophers, I'll see you at the Campfire Ceremony!
Katz: [under his breath] At least we all know who to vote off…
Applejack: [under her breath] Lousy, no good, lying vermin…
[the shot of the moonlit night sky over the campfire pit signals the start of the elimination ceremony. One camper's voice can already be heard over the opening scene]
Yogi: Note to self, never overdo it on a hunting trip again…[groans]
[static buzzing]
Applejack: One way or another, that Katz is goin' down.
[static buzzing]
Rarity: I do hope that Applejack will be alright, the debacle earlier was awfully messy, in more ways than one.
[static buzzing]
Top Cat: Yeesh, talk about a couple a' drama queens.
[static buzzing]
Chris: There are only eight marshmallows on this plate. When I call your name, come up and claim your marshmallow. The camper-
Katz: -who does not receive a marshmallow must proceed to the Dock of Shame, Boat of Losers, never come back, just get on with it!
Chris: [casts an annoyed glance] Fine, whatever, spoil the moment...Rarity.
[the white mare catches the marshmallow]
Angelina.
[the mouse catches the marshmallow]
Usagi.
[the human girl catches the marshmallow]
Top Cat.
[the yellow feline catches the marshmallow]
Yogi.
[the brown bear catches the marshmallow]
Charlotte.
[the blue girl catches the marshmallow. Katz and Applejack shoot daggers at each other]
Campers, this is the final marshmallow of the night.

Katz: [swipes the marshmallow from the host's hand] I knew you all were smart enough to make the right choice.
Applejack: What?! Ya'll gave me the boot over this connivin' little…you know what, I'm outta here…
Chris: Applejack, the Dock of Shame awaits.
Applejack: Spare me the melodrama, would ya?
[scene cuts to Applejack walking on the dock]
Rarity: Applejack!
Applejack: Rarity? [gets embraced by the unicorn]
Rarity: Oh, my dear, I'm so sorry this had to happen.
Applejack: [sighs] Can't say I'm not disappointed, but hey, I gave it my best shot.
Rarity: Yeah…I'll show them we've still got it, I promise you that.
Applejack: Oh, I know you will.
[the bell on the boat rings, signaling Applejack to board. She waves goodbye to Rarity one last time before boarding. Rarity watches as the boat sails off into the moonlight]
