Chapter Twenty: Wawanakwa Gone Wild

Chris: [narrating] Last time on Total Drama Island, an escaped psycho killer terrorized our campers with his meat-mangling hook, and mega-murderous chainsaw.

[The recap opens with Carmen reading the newspaper left behind at the docks, the focus on the killer's photograph segueing into the disguised Chef attacking Charlotte and Mao Mao before running across the grounds in the distance]

There was a large amount of panic among the campers, especially considering the whole thing was really just an elaborate punk.

[Mao Mao and Top Cat are shown visibly distressed, especially as the latter falling into the river is shown. Fiona getting shoved into the tent with Chris and the other victims is replayed, as well as Chris revealing the fake killer's identity and Chef pulling up his mask]

Ooh, ooh, ooh! I love that part! Katz and Carmen were the only ones to make it out unscathed, and somehow ended up facing off against an actual psycho!

[the lady in red and the scarlet feline are shown conversing in the messhall before the scene of them taking down the killer is shown, Carmen jumping down from the table to face head on while Katz claws into the killer's back]

During this whole thing, Fiona kept pushing Angelina's buttons to get her to chicken out, little did she know she'd end up sealing her own fate during the challenge, and at the elimination ceremony.

[Fiona's badgering of Angelina is shown, followed by her getting caught in the showers, and finally her outrage at being eliminated. The footage cuts not to Chris in his usual spot at the docks, but sitting at the campfire pit. He is stroking a beaver on his lap, which is calmly eating sticks out of the host's other hand]

Only seven campers remain. Who will win? Who will lose?

[The beaver eats the final stick, then bites Chris' hands]

OW! [picks up the beaver and holds him at arm length] Who will need a rabies shot thanks to this ungrateful little-[remembers he's on camera and recomposes himself, placing the rodent on top of his head with a smile]-find out on this episode of 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)

[The episode opens with Charlotte petting Squirrely in her lap, sitting outside on the steps of her cabin]

Charlotte: You've gotten a lot better since I've been taking care of you, isn't that right, Squirrely?

[Squirrely chitters in agreement]

Charlotte: Tee-hee, that leg of yours looks like it's healed nicely, and it's all thanks to me.

[a whimsical fiddle tune starts to play as the background changes into something more out of a fantasyland]

Charlotte: Give me your injured, give me your sick

I'll treat them, and heal them, right in a tick

It doesn't matter if they're big or they're small

I won't stop at anything to treat them all

Stay in bed if you've got the flu

Prop up your leg if it's red and blue

Drink lots of water if you've got a sore throat

If you've got the shivers, wrap up in a coat

Give me your injured, give me your sick

I'll treat them, and heal them, right in a tick

It doesn't matter if they're big or they're small

I won't stop at anything to treat them all

[the background suddenly changes back as Squirrely stands up from Charlotte's lap, much to her surprise as he starts to scamper off]

Charlotte: Oh! Squirrely! Where are you going? [stops as she sees him pulling alongside another squirrel] Oh…you're leaving?

[Squirrely looks back at Charlotte who has a genuine look of sadness on her face]

Charlotte: I suppose I have to let you go…

[Squirrely tilts his head at Charlotte as she looks down at the ground. He then scampers up to her and nuzzles against her leg, chittering up at the blue girl who gives a small smile back. Charlotte gently picks the squirrel up]

Charlotte: Goodbye, Squirrely, I'll miss you.

[Squirrely nuzzles Charlotte's nose and the blue girl sets him on the ground before he heads off to the other squirrel who he nuzzles noses with as well, before the two scamper off into the forest]

[static buzzing]

Charlotte: It was fun looking after Squirrely, but I guess it was time for him to go back to the woods, at least I'll have my memories of him…oh, and I'll make sure to put his photos in my room when I get back.

[static buzzing]

[Charlotte walks into the scene and stops with a bewildered expression]

Charlotte: Oh my, what happened here?

[the shot pans out to reveal an unexpected scene; Katz hanging from a tree by a rope around his foot, and all the other campers in a wooden cage below him]

Top Cat: [annoyed] That's what I'd like to know.

Katz: [irritated] Through no fault of my own, I got caught in some stupid snare trap. With the others in close proximity, Wolf tried to get me down. But then the cage fell down on them all.

Angelina: [angrily] What kind of joke is this? Because let me tell you right now, I am not laughing!

Wolf: [sarcastically] Really, I wonder how anyone could miss that? By the way, where's that damn host, I'm ready to chew him out.

Mao Mao: Count me in on that, of all the antics I've put up with, this is definitely one of the most amateur.

Carmen: Wait, don't you have a sword, couldn't you try and cut through these bars?

Mao Mao: [sweatdrops] Oh yeah…my sword…almost forgot I had that for a moment?

Angelina: [deadpan] Really? We could have been out of here five minutes earlier.

Top Cat: Hey, don't pile up on him, Miss Red here's got all them fancy gadgets, what's goin' on with that?

Carmen: [blushes] Oh…right…[tips her hat forward]...note to self, slap myself for discarding basic logic…it's this island, it's messing with my state of mind.

Katz: AHEM! With that in mind, can you lot hurry up with an escape plan? I'd rather not stay like this, it's particularly uncomfortable.

Wolf: [sighs] This is just a migraine waiting to happen…

Chris: [off-screen, catching everyone's attention] Goooood morning, campers! [on-screen, with a beaver on his head] Or should I say, trappers? [takes the rodent off and holds up a knife] Ready for today's challenge? [the trapped campers gasp] Excellent. Then let's chat about it over chow, shall we? [turns and walks away]

Katz: Excuse me?! They're still stuck in there and I'm still stuck up here!

[The knife Chris has been holding is obligingly thrown at the rope; it cuts clean through, causing Katz to fall on the cage which in turn opens the door from the force of the impact]

Katz: [as he rubs his lower back] Bastard…

[The camera cuts to the beach, flying up and over a short distance to the mess hall before cutting inside. At one table sits Angelina, Charlotte, Top Cat, Mao Mao, and Katz; the mouse eyeing her bowl of paste with disgust while the blue girl eats it with no trouble. A pan across the room shows Wolf and Carmen in a similar situation with neither apparently willing to eat, with the lupine in particular struggling to get a spoonful out]

Wolf: You know, if I wanted to eat prison food, I'd get myself locked in prison. I don't need a reminder in a summer camp of all things.

Carmen: I know what you mean, you can barely get it out of the bowl, let alone taste it. [tries to get a spoonful out herself, and while the adhesive meal finally snaps, it sends the spoon flying out of her hand] You know, I'm missing those brownies.

Chris: Campers, there are only seven of you left on Total Drama Island. After tonight's dramatic Bonfire Ceremony, only six of you will remain. We're nearing the end, people! So look alive!

[static buzzing]

Angelina: My chances of winning? I would say they're pretty good. After all, I've worked hard to get where I am, and I believe I'd be a suitable candidate in the final vote. So to all those that have left the island; I'd suggest you vote for someone with style and grace.

[static buzzing]

Wolf: I'm sure making it this far would be at the back of many people's minds, but I've shown what I'm capable of. All I need is to get past a few more ceremonies and that prize is as good as mine.

[static buzzing]

Chris: Today's challenge involves making like our province's great rangers and game wardens. You'll each have eight hours to trap an animal, which you must bring back to the campfire unharmed. Rangers and game wardens often have to relocate animals for their own good and the good of campers.

Top Cat: Yeah, what's gonna be the reward for all that hard labor, because the only thing I want is a good meal.

Chris: Glad you asked, Top Cat! Reward for winning today's challenge is a meal of all your favorite foods!

[the campers from both tables perk up at this]

Katz: A worthy reward, one of which I'm going to enjoy.

Charlotte: Tee-hee, you have to win the challenge first to get the prize.

[static buzzing]

Charlotte: I can't believe I made it all this way! If I win the show, I'm going to redo my whole house, I'll make it bigger, prettier, and sparklier!

[static buzzing]

[The scene cuts back in with a distant shot of the sun above the thousand-foot cliff, a loon crying before a zoom-cut takes the shot to the boathouse]

Chris: Everyone, choose an animal assignment!

[In Chris' hand is a safari hat containing several slips of paper in which the campers each take one by one]

Charlotte: A deer!

Mao Mao: Raccoon.

Top Cat: Possum.

Carmen: Ferret.

Wolf: Otter.

Katz: Bear.

Angelina: Mountain lion…mountain lion?!

Chris: Yep, only animal left.

Angelina: So you're telling me I have to bring back a literal cougar while they all get smaller and easier to catch targets?

Chris: Hey, it might serve as a source of experience, if you can make it out unscathed that is.

Angelina: [huffs and then looks toward the others] Does anyone want to swap?

Chris: No swapping, your card, your mission.

Angelina: [turns away and whimpers] Bugger…

Carmen: Hey, if you're struggling there, perhaps I can be of assistance.

Angelina: Oh, thank you, I'd appreciate that.

Carmen: Right after I secure my target.

Angelina: [sweatdrops with anime-esque dot eyes] GEH! I'm so going to die…

Chris: Alright campers, you have just one minute in the boathouse to grab your critter-catchin' gear!

[the footage skips ahead, the dock in front of the boathouse empty of people as various objects are tossed out of the open door. Inside, the campers search through crates, barrels, and shelves for anything that can be of use. At the far right is Wolf, looking between an oar and a large sledgehammer. The camera pans left, showing Carmen holding a coil of rope with a hook on the end, Katz dumping out a bucket of fish guts, Angelina pulling out a net from a barrel, Mao Mao lifting up a canoe in the back, Top Cat rummaging through a small box, and Charlotte pulling out a tranquilizer from behind a crate]

Katz: I hope you realize that a net isn't going to trap a cougar.

Angelina: [sarcastically] Wow, really, I didn't notice. [looks toward Charlotte] Oooooh, I could really use that tranquilizer, at the very least, I'd have a shot of catching my target.

Mao Mao: I don't need a gun of any sorts, I've dealt with raccoons before, sneaky little britches that'll throw the wool over your eyes if you're not careful, escaping your very clutches

[Katz and Angelina glance at each other as Mao Mao trails off with a continuous stare]

Carmen: [snaps her fingers in front of the black cat] Hello, earth to Mao Mao? You're zoning out a little there, not exactly the image of someone with "master skills" that you never…[puts her hand to her forehead]...shut up about.

Mao Mao: Hmm? Oh, right, sorry about that. Never mind, this'll be a piece of cake, I've got the forest on my side, along with being…[puts cape over half of his face]...a master of disguise, hehehehehahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Carmen: Ooooookay, someone's clearly lost their mind, I'm just gonna go over here now, okay? Good. [walks off]

Chris: Ten seconds remaining!

Top Cat: [halts] Whoa, easy there, that thing's loaded!

Charlotte: Don't worry, I'm a good shot.

Angelina: [with a visible vein on her forehead] Your track record says otherwise.

Wolf: While you're dealing with that, I've got myself an otter to bag…literally. [holds out a sack]

Top Cat: You're gonna catch it in that? Don't look like it's gonna do much, unless ya' plan on doin' a sack race.

Wolf: I don't need anything too fancy, I'm a natural of the forest, I can manage on my bare claws alone, catching an otter's something I could handle with my eyes closed.

Top Cat: Alright, you do you, I've got me a possum to catch, and I know juuuust how ta' do it. [holds out a can of spray]

[static buzzing]

Mao Mao: I might have missed out on a large part of the competition, but I've been striving hard to make up for it. All I gotta do is rely on my wit and skills to get me through to the end, shouldn't be hard to do.

[static buzzing]

Top Cat: I always knew I was gonna make it far, I mean, I'm not called Top Cat for no reason. I've got no real qualms with anyone, good thing for me, it'll make gettin' to the finals all the easier.

[static buzzing]

[scene cuts to Katz rummaging through a box, pulling out a hook and a coil of rope as Wolf approaches him]

Wolf: I can only imagine what you're gonna do with that hook.

Katz: I'm not doing to kill my prey so much as I'm going to tame it into submission.

Wolf: Yeah, well, good luck with that, I'll arrange the funeral service.

Katz: Tis doubt I detect in thou's voice, suppose we'll see who comes out on top.

[static buzzing]

Katz: I have no doubt that I'm the favorite to win, I've easily conducted the most strategy out of anyone else on this island, and everything is stacked in my favor. I mean, look who's left; a ballerina, a criminal, a space pirate, a psychopath, a con artist, and Charlotte. And the only thing she has is a notable lack of enemies. Of course, winners can't get by on pure luck alone, I prefer asserting dominance.

[static buzzing]

[the campers are seen lined up with their various tools]

Chris: Everyone ready?

Carmen: [yawns] Might as well get it over with.

Chris: [thrusts his finger in the air] GAME ON!

[the contestants dash off in various directions into the forest]

[scene cuts to a ferret scampering into view before the camera pans over to Carmen hiding behind a bush]

Carmen: That's it, little one, just stay there and it'll be all over soon…

[static buzzing]

Carmen: I don't doubt myself being able to win, if I can snatch the world's most prized possessions, winning a game show should be child's play. That said, it all depends on the jury's opinion, I reckon I haven't done anything too egregious to warrant much negativity. So yeah, I've got this one in the bag.

[static buzzing]

[Carmen narrows her eyes at the ferret as she raises her net to nab the critter, being as quiet as possible…that is until the ferret suddenly leaps forward and onto a tree branch, catching the lady in red slightly off-guard. It turns around and hisses at her before leaping over to another branch]

Carmen: [smirks] Oh, is that a challenge? Fine by me…

[the footage cuts to a possum coming out from a hole. The camera pans up to reveal Top Cat sliding out from behind a tree]

Top Cat: Found me a rat, now they meet the cat…

[almost like a callback to natural feline instinct, Top Cat goes low to the ground and prowls behind his target]

Top Cat: [whispering] The possum…the species of playing dead…unable to compare to the domestic feline…[follows the possum into a log]...I've got you now…

[sounds of chittering and yowling can be heard from inside the log as it shakes about before the possum is seen escaping through a small hole at the top. Top Cat comes out with a few pieces of bark in his mouth along with a scratch or two]

Top Cat: [spits] PHOOEY! That sneaky little…

[the scene shifts again to a raccoon rooting behind a rock. Mao Mao is seen sliding up from behind said rock with stilted eyes]

Mao Mao: If there's one thing I know, it's that a raccoon is slippery, like an eel, blowing away like leaves in the wind…not this time. [jumps up with a battlecry to pound on the raccoon, but it looks up at the right time to move out of the way] GAH! Hoooooo, you're not getting away that easily, not while I'm still standing.

[the raccoon dashes off, but Mao Mao simply smirks as he gives chase]

Mao Mao: You can't outrun me! It's only a matter of time before I snag your fuzzy behind, HAHAHAHAHA-okay, that's a double meaning…BUT STILL!

[the raccoon zips into the bushes with Mao Mao in hot pursuit]

Mao Mao: I've got you now, you…[trails off as he sees a large group of raccoons surrounding the area, seeming almost to enclose him]...oh…that, uh, that isn't good.

[static buzzing]

Mao Mao: Why is it that I never have the luck with raccoons?

[static buzzing]

[scene shifts over to Angelina looking over from behind a rock, on top of the ledge is a tan mountain lion, napping under the midday sun]

Angelina: Okay, analyze your options; either you get caught and are most likely ripped to shreds or you catch the cougar with…a net…[gulps]...if I don't make it out alive, Polly can have my dress.

[Angelina carefully steps out from the rock and quietly tip toes closer to her target, trying her best not to make a sound]

[scene cuts to an otter coming out from the river before it pans out to a silhouetted Wolf watching from a distance]

Wolf: The alpha has his target locked on sight, all that's left is to make my move…

[Wolf approaches the otter by sticking to the shadows until he looms over the smaller mammal…as it dives back into the water at a brisk speed. Wolf stares dumbfounded for a second before recomposing]

Wolf: Ooooooooh, no you don't. [gives chase to the otter as quickly as he can]

[scene cuts to Charlotte with her back against a tree]

Charlotte: This is just like that paintball tournament, except I'm the only one shooting. It feels…a bit weird shooting a deer, but this won't actually hurt it…I think. [shrugs] Okay, focus on…something that looks like a deer…[hears something rustling]...oh!

[on the other side of the bushes, Top Cat is still in pursuit of his possum, his hat now in the rodent's mouth]

Top Cat: Get back here, you thieving little rat!

[Charlotte aims her gun at the oncoming sound, oblivious to its owner. As the possum runs through the bush, Top Cat emerges just as Charlotte fires a shot. The feline has a split second reaction before the dart strikes his neck]

Top Cat: AH! Hey yoooooooou, I'm not…a target…[slumps to the ground unconscious]

Charlotte: Whoops…

[the scene cuts to Mao Mao running through the forest with several raccoons clamped to his body]

Mao Mao: DAH! You lit-AH! Stop bit-YAH! You're not supposed to overcome me, I'm supposed to overco-[feels his legs floating in midair as he looks down to see no ground beneath him, only the edge of a cliff and the pine tree below]-this just isn't my day. AAAAAAAAAHHH!

[Mao Mao falls down in the forest, accompanied by the sound of cracking branches and rustled leaves. The scene cuts to the black feline plopping onto the ground with a THUMP]

Mao Mao: [groans] I'm alright…just fine, I…ow…

[scene cuts to black, the episode continues]

[the footage shows the seemingly peaceful river…before the otter is seen doing a somersault out of it before diving back in. Wolf comes into view, hot on its trail]

Wolf: Damn, that thing is quick! What's it gonna take; me dunking into the river to catch it?

[scene cuts to Katz outside of a cave, approaching with a knock on the entrance]

Katz: Pardon me, but I would like to request entrance to your abode…[no sound comes from the cave]...very well, I'll let myself in…

[the red feline enters the cave to find it empty for the most part, but on the far end is a large brown bear that appears to be taking a nap]

Katz: Hmph, isn't that typical of a bruin? Oh, well, makes my job all the easier…[stretches out a piece of rope]...

[scene cuts to the ferret on the run with Carmen still in hot pursuit]

Carmen: The only thing that gets away from Carmen Sandiego doesn't exist…[pulls out something from her coat and fires it right at the ferret, encasing it in a net]...gotcha! [walks out to her captor and picks up the net] Perfect shot as always, wouldn't you agree?

[static buzzing]

Carmen: When you've got all kinds of gadgets at your disposal, it feels good to me.

[static buzzing]

[the scene cuts to the mountain lion still napping in place as Angelina is only a few feet away, her face noticeably anxious]

Angelina: Come on, toughen up, Angelina. This will all be over and done with as soon as you get the net over this cougar.

[Angelina closes her eyes and feels the net making contact, hesitantly opening one eye to reveal it slung over the mountain lion]

Angelina: [sighs with relief] I did it, now I just have to-

[Angelina hears a low rumbling in front of her. She slowly averts her gaze to face a now awake mountain lion looking at her dead in the eye. The white mouse meekly squeaks]

[static buzzing]

Angelina: Seriously? I mean, seriously?!

[static buzzing]

[the scene cuts to Katz groveling through the forest as the bear tries to resist his muzzled bondage]

Katz: Stop struggling back there, it'd be less painful for both of us.

[the bear gives a muffled growl and tries to swipe at his captor]

Katz: Hey! You're one step closer to becoming a fur coat at this rate.

[the bear gives a fierce tug on the pole, Katz tries to reign it in, but with an animal twice his size, the bruin puts his paw to the plastic muzzle and snaps it off before chucking the pole into the bushes]

Katz: Oh…that complicates things…[looks above to the bear towering over him]...

[static buzzing]

Katz: So I had two options; either face an angry grizzly bear with my bare paws, or run like hell to safety. Given the nature of the game, I had the tactical advantage of making either option work in my favor.

[static buzzing]

Katz: [turns his neck to snap in both directions] Now you'll see why no one dares to mess with yours truly.

[the bear growls at Katz as the red feline gives a glare back]

[the scene cuts to the otter diving out of the water and back in as Wolf is now in the river, swimming fiercely after it]

Wolf: The things I have to do just to grab one slippery otter…geh, if I make it back first, I know what's on the menu…

[the lupine gives one big leap, seeming to have mapped out the otter's proximity. As it turns out, he's right on target as Wolf finally nabs the otter in his bare paws. The camera cuts to a wet Wolf crawling out from the river with an otter in hand]

Wolf: Gotcha, ya' damn slick…

[static buzzing]

Wolf: Was it hell having to wad through the river and take way too long to catch my target? I think the answer's obvious, but if there's one thing Wolf O'Donnell never misses, it's getting what he wants.

[static buzzing]

[scene cuts to Charlotte walking through the woods, turning from left to right to see if she can spot a deer. As luck would have it, she spots one eating grass a few yards away]

Charlotte: [gasps] I found-[puts her hand over her mouth, in a softer tone]-I mean, I found one. Tee-hee, come here, deer, come to Auntie Charlotte…

[Charlotte aims her tranquilizer and slowly steps forward…before stepping on a twig. The noise causes the deer to turn its head up, look behind and notice Charlotte standing nearby. It instantly dashes into the bushes]

Charlotte: Come back, deer! I'm not gonna hurt you, I just wanna play hunter! [runs after the cervine]

[the footage cuts to Katz running through the woods, a few scratches visible on his body, though his expression is undeterred]

Katz: Follow me, cushion, there's a nice wooden cave awaiting you!

[the camera pans over to the bear chasing after the feline before it swishes in the opposite direction where the deer is seen emerging from the bushes, Charlotte hot on its tail]

Charlotte: Hold still, pretty deer, this won't hurt a bit!

[the scene cuts to Katz running from the bear, and then cuts to the deer running from Charlotte. It cross-cuts several times as the blue girl takes aim and fires twice. The shots miss the deer by a few inches as it gallops in between two trees]

Charlotte: Aw, I missed.

[the sound of a low rumble and something thumping to the ground catches Charlotte's attention. She goes to where she hear it and finds a grizzly bear lying on the ground with a dart in its chest. Next to it is Katz knocked out a few inches away with a dart having struck his shoulder]

Charlotte: Oops…

[the scene cuts to the campfire pit where the cage from before has been moved just behind the seats. Chris is standing by leaning against it when he looks up at the sound of footsteps]

Carmen: One ferret secured for the cage, and a win secured for yours truly. I'd like a serving of your finest cuisine, spare no expense, I've got high taste.

Mao Mao: [walks into view with a raccoon latched onto his forehead] I got it! I, I made it through an entourage, I made it alone, I told you I had in the bag, hahahahahaaaaaaaaaa and someone got here before me…[yanks the raccoon off his head and throws it into the cage]...if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go find a hole…[walks off]

[scene cuts to Mao Mao kneeling down in front of a burrow. He clears his throat before putting his face against it]

Mao Mao: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[static buzzing]

Mao Mao: One of the best ways to relieve the pent-up tension that's been building throughout the whole day; find the nearest hole and scream your lungs out. It's something I've adapted to.

[static buzzing]

[the scene cuts back to Carmen sitting on the far end of a picnic table set with cloth and candelabra. On the table are dishes of Spanakopita, Dosa, Jamon Iberico, Xiaolongbao, and Ragu alla bolognese]

Carmen: Well, give my compliments to the chef because everything here looks perfect to a tee. [glances over at a soggy Wolf putting the otter into the cage next to the ferret and raccoon] Fancy a dip, Wolf?

Wolf: Not the kind I was looking for, especially since I lost out on having…whatever you've got on the table.

Carmen: I suppose I can't help it if I've a tendency to be on point for a lot of things, although I can't help but feel like I'm forgetting something…

[the footage cuts to Angelina up close]

Angelina: This day couldn't possibly get any worse.

[the camera pans out to reveal the mouse having climbed on top of a rock while the mountain lion is at the bottom]

Angelina: [gulps] Nice mountain lion, you wouldn't want to eat me…[slips slightly and gasps]...you wouldn't harm a lady, would you…what am I saying, I'm done for…[slips again and this time falls to the ground]...WAH! OOF! [looks ahead to see the feline staring at her and shivers]...don't hurt me…

[Angelina covers her face as the cougar moves closer, fearing the worst as she feels the larger mammal's breath against her…instead of feeling herself being bitten, something soft presses against her arms. The mouse slowly separates her arms to see the mountain lion inching again, frozen in place as its nose comes up right against Angelina's. It then presses its nose against the white rodent's, much to her surprise]

Angelina: You…you aren't going to eat me…?

[the mountain lion gives a simple purr before backing off, giving Angelina some room to breathe]

Angelina: [clutches her chest] Thank Goodness…you know, apart from the obvious, you're a rather regal creature to look at…

[at that moment, the sound of hoofs pounding against rocks catches Angelina's attention and she sees a deer running up the path]

Angelina: What on Earth…?

[she doesn't have time to think as several darts are seen missing the cervine, revealing Charlotte running up the same way]

Charlotte: Giddy up, lil' doggie! I'm the best sharpshooter in all the West!

Angelina: [as they come in her direction] Oh no. Charlotte? Charlotte! Be careful where you point that-[one of the darts strikes her in the arm]-gun…ooooooh…[falls over unconscious]

[the deer jumps down onto the lower path with Charlotte stopping a few feet away from where it jumped]

Charlotte: Awwww, he got away…[looks over at the unconscious Angelina]...oops.

[static buzzing]

Charlotte: Okay, so maybe my aim is slightly more off than I thought, nobody's perfect.

[static buzzing]

[a couple of interns are seen setting Top Cat and Katz next to each other as the felines are still in a state of being numb, both sporting bags under their eyes]

Carmen: Yikes, I'd like to know the story behind this one.

Wolf: How about this one; look over there.

[everyone watches as the mountain lion is seen carrying Angelina on its back while the mouse is still knocked out. It sets her down next to Katz and Top Cat and then dashes back into the forest]

Carmen: Well, there's something you don't see everyday.

Chris: Alright, campers, since Carmen was the first to get her animal in the cage, she not only wins dinner, but also invincibility. Additionally, since Wolf and Mao Mao were the only ones besides Carmen to successfully nab a target, they will get to share a portion of her reward. Other than that, besides three campers getting knocked out cold, everyone else is on the chopping block. So cast your votes and decide who will be the next voted off the island.

[The campfire ceremony begins with all the usual fanfare, the campers shown sitting in two rows – Top Cat, Carmen, Wolf, and Katz in back; Angelina, Charlotte, and Mao Mao in front, the affected three from before still having bags under their eyes]

Wolf: [to Katz] You sure you don't want me to carry you?

Katz: [slightly slurred] I'm perfectly capable of walking, thank you very much.

Chris: You've all cast your votes, and made your decision. When I call your name, come up, and claim your marshmallow. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow tonight must immediately return to the Dock of Shame, to catch the Boat of Losers, and leave.

[Both dock and boat are shown before the shot cuts back to Chris' close-up]

That means, you're out of the contest. And you can't come back…[Mao Mao is shown looking distinctly worried]...ev-er.

[static buzzing]

Angelina: One thing I'll be glad never to see again; Chef's "food."

[static buzzing]

Wolf: Gotta be the food.

[static buzzing]

Carmen: If you can even call it food.

[static buzzing]

Angelina: It is the most disgusting-

[static buzzing]

Katz: -deplorable-

[static buzzing]

Carmen: -inedible-

[static buzzing]

Wolf: -reminscient-

Chris: The first marshmallow goes to…Carmen.

[the lady in red accepts the marshmallow as it's tossed to her]

Wolf….Mao Mao!

[the grey lupine and black feline are shown accepting their prizes]

Katz…and Top Cat.

[both felines are shown with their respective marshmallow bouncing off their faces]

One marshmallow, two players. Charlotte, Angelina…[the two girls are shown, the former surprised and the latter dazed]...one of you has spent your last night on Total Drama Island…

Katz: Quit stalling and just give it to Angelina…

Chris: Eh…

[Chris tosses the marshmallow at Angelina as it bounces off her face]

Charlotte: [stands up] Oh well, at least I had fun while I was here.

Top Cat: Maybe learn how to use a tranq gun…

Angelina: Please do…

[Charlotte whistles and the same deer from before dashes out from the bushes and stops before the contestants. Everyone watches with some degree of surprise as Charlotte climbs on]

Charlotte: Hi-ho, Pegasus, away!

[the deer rushes out from the campfire pit with Charlotte in tow]

Carmen: Well…that happened.

Katz: [tries to stand up, but his legs wobble] Uh…

Wolf: Don't worry, I gotcha' there…[picks the feline up and into a cradle position]

Katz: Not a word about this…

Mao Mao: C'mon, I'll get you as well…

Top Cat: [groans as Mao Mao picks him up] Thanks fa' that…

Carmen: [approaches Angelina] Any chance to make up for earlier?

Angelina: Please just…[groans]...get me to the cabin…

[Carmen picks up Angelina and carries her away from the campfire pit, following Wolf and Mao Mao escorting their own passengers]
