A Total Drama Story

Total Drama World Tour and I

De Lederhosen's and Chocolate Shuffle

Chapter 6

~Last Time~

The competition was really spicing up while the competitors were in Italy. A dash of pepper, some mixed Italian herbs, and some good ol' love to make the spicy gladiator challenge. Nothing like some friendly games of competitive sports where three teams face off in a heated battle for the gold medal. Surprisingly, Geoff took the win for his team and the losers were left on clean up duty. Another surprise was when Courtney convinced Alejandro to form an alliance with her. Wonder how far those two will go before karma comes at them like a shark to chum. Let's find out during the next chapter of this story.

~On the TD Plane/Normal POV~

Since Italy and Germany were close to each other, Chris decided on everyone taking the train to Frankfurt, Germany. After all there was no need to use the plane when Germany and Italy were practically neighbors. They could have walked to their destination but that would have been too much for everyone and by then most of them (Owen) would pass out from exhaustion. Not that they probably couldn't walk to their destination but that wasn't going to happen. It would take to long and getting directions would be an issue. Assuming most people in this country didn't already speak English. Now where to next, Frankfurt of course. It was time to move on from meatballs and the Opera too lederhosen's and polka music. At least those all seem to add up to German customs. It makes sense though I can't understand the polka music. Its kind of catchy when you hear that huge tuba being blown. Sorry I'm getting off topic, back to the story.

By the time the group arrived in Germany they wanted to either do sight seeing or take a nap. Traveling can tucker one out. They wanted to take this opportunity to check into a hotel and relax. Have a few hours to themselves before going through another challenge. As good of an idea as that sounds, Chris was going to have to decline. The cameras were rolling and the audience waits for no one. That includes long commercial breaks while the cast is taking time to themselves. They would get that chance after. Right now it was time to head to the location of their first challenge. The whole Total Drama gang would be going to what was considered 'The Land of Chocolate' here in Germany. By that I mean they were all going to the Schokofabrik Chocolate Factory Berlin, workshop & Souvenirs. What Chris had in mind for today's challenge would involve loads and loads of chocolate. Better get the toothbrushes ready because cavities will be born in the teeth.

Within the hour of their arrival in Germany they had arrived at the chocolate factory. The fresh smell of chocolate was in the air. Building up drool in Owen's mouth and making his stomach growl like a savaged beast. He had that food craving building up in him. If his hunger wasn't met in the next few minutes he'd go on a wild rampage. Eating everything he saw in his path like the beast he was. Someone better get the leash for this dog. Once one stepped into the chocolate factory they were hit with a wave of warm sweet chocolatey aroma. One could not help but get watery in the mouth as the aroma twisted around trapping one in its chocolate scent of heaven. The smell could bring even the strongest person to their knees. That's just what became of Owen. Much like a dog who was craving a treat. Seeing that tail wag when they sit. Giving you the cute look so you'll cave in. Its priceless.

~Owen's Confession~

"*drooling with happiness at the thought of chocolate. Blocks and blocks of chocolate heaven.*"

~Confession Over~

"Okay somebody or would some people hold Owen back while I explain the challenge." Chris began. "You lot are going to be making your own chocolate creations. Sort of like ice sculpting but with the use of giant blocks of chocolate. Any leftovers you have you can eat. Now let me explain how this is going to work." He walks over to a large block of chocolate the length and size of an eight foot bookshelf. You'd have to stand on a ladder with your utensil of choice to carve the chocolate. It wasn't going to be easy. Nobody in the Total Drama cast knew how to carve chocolate but then again those who were selected for such a show hardly knew how. Its all about taking risks, trying something new, and possibly not get scared in the process.

They would be fine, they would all be fine. They'd get special kitchen carving tools for this task. Each team would be assigned a carving set for their chocolate block. The design for the sculpture would be their own. Chris did throw out a few suggestions for such a large chocolate order but he gave them a choice. Same for choosing who did what with what tools, who was in charge, and who would observe from the sidelines. They would have four hours to complete a chocolate sculpture that would be put out on display to promote the companies newest chocolate bars. Whoever wins would receive a special surprise as a reward.

"Its a fun challenge that I'm sure everyone can agree on. Make a chocolate sculpture and you win the chance of having it shown to the public. Each team will need to work together to complete their sculpture(s) within the next four hours. As you can see you'll each have a station with the necessary equipment to mold the chocolate." "If you need any help coming up with an idea there are some suggestions up on the board behind you. *points it out*" "Just get creative and surprise us, good luck, your time starts now."

With the saying of those last words in that sentenced a large clock began to countdown backwards. This was the timer, it had begun. The teams ran to their stations in a fritz to start prepping the chocolate molds.

~Courtney's Confession~

"Alright so I'm not a huge fan of chocolate. I mean don't get me wrong I love the smell of it but I'm not crazy about the stuff. Its too fattening and full of sugar. I don't need that in my system."

~Confession Over~

"Okay team, we have four hours to make some kind of chocolate sculpture. We need to each take a side of the chocolate, working the tools into it." Courtney began.

"*scoff* No, what we need is to split the work and do shifts." Heather said. "Since I came up with the idea I'll take lead first. The rest of you start working on that chocolate."

"Uh no we will not. You're not in charge here I am." Courtney was saying getting in Heather's face. "Look I should be in charge. I was a CIT, I know how to lead a group."

"Oh please you couldn't lead the blind." Heather complained.

This arguing wasn't getting the team anywhere. While Courtney and Heather bickered like an old couple, the other teams were already setting to work on their block of chocolate. The teams had a system, a strategy, a plan. They were organized and well prepared for the challenge.

On Team Music Strikers; Alejandro was directing his teammates. He had Izzy sitting on top of Owen while she worked on carving off the sharp curves onto of the chocolate block. Noah was getting a good feel of the chocolate. Visualizing where and how to carve the chocolate out. Duncan and Trent were on opposite sides of the chocolate carving and shredding it. Try to smooth it out so the chocolate doesn't look lumpy.

On Team Radical Sports; it was Harold who was delivering his teammates to victory. (or so he said) He had a picture of what he wanted the chocolate block to look like. He had a picture of his favorite action hero, Iron Man. Now that would be a challenge but Harold had confidence in his teammates. He selected a job for each person; Geoff and Bridgette would take the bottom, Leshawna and Lindsey the middle, DJ and Harold himself would take the top. Using a foot stool to help them reach the top.

Both teams were carving the chocolate leaving Team Crystal Platypus far behind. They had yet to start on their chocolate block and time was ticking down. At the rate things were going between Courtney and Heather, they'd never get any work done. To save themselves the trouble, Cody, Sierra, Gwen, and Becky decided to come up with their own plans. Using Gwen's sketchbook, all four teammates worked on a sketch for the design of their chocolate sculpture. By the time they had finished, Courtney and Heather took a break from their arguing.

"Oh good you two are done. We took the liberty of drawing up some sketches for the chocolate block." Sierra told the pair, handing off the sketches. "Tell me what you think, pick the best one, and we can get to work. Especially since we only have three hours and twenty seven minutes left in the challenge."

"Sierra how do you expect to make this design? We're talking about turning that block of chocolate into...What exactly did you draw?" Courtney said to Sierra as she took a closer look at the picture. "Is this Cody?"

~Sierra's Confession~

"Okay I'm not sure if anyone has figured this out yet but I kind of have this crush on Cody. *blush* I know he's not perfect but there's something special about him. *loving sigh* Courtney just doesn't understand because she's too uptight. *crosses her arms against her chest*"

~Confession Over~

"Yes, I drew Cody, but I drew him in a uniform fighting against a giant chocolate bar." Sierra replied.

"Okay why would Cody be fighting a giant chocolate bar? That's ridiculous not to mention it would never sell as a sculpture to the public." Courtney said dissing Sierra's idea.

"Hey Courtney, how about you get that stick out of your ass and have some fun?" Duncan replied, he had been listening in to the conversation.

"Mind your own business Duncan, nobody asked you." Courtney said.

"He's right you know." Cody said. "Why can't we have a little fun? Its a giant block of chocolate. Chocolate!" "Besides, this is probably a reward challenge for all we know and Chris did tell us to get creative."

"He's right, we're suppose to work together and have fun." Becky said.

"Its only fun if we win. Now focus and get to work on carving that chocolate." Cortney ordered.

"Your not in charge here Courtney so stop being bossy and be more of a team player." Gwen said. "I'm tired of you giving orders and being such a tight ass."

"Thank you! I wasn't the only one." Sierra said.

"Face it Courtney, no one likes a tight ass as a leader." Gwen said.

"You tell it sister!" Geoff cried out. "Fight the power!"

"Look if we want to win you guys need to listen to me." Courtney said pointing to herself.

"Who said we were going to listen to you?" Heather started once again causing a fight between her and Courtney. A fight that was growing so loud, everyone turned over to the Crystal Platypus' station to see the action. The pair were going at each other's throats. Similar to a group of lions when they hunt their pray, going right for the throat. Cody tried jumping in to break the fight but he was pushed aside. He tried again and was punched in the face. It was that cause of effect that set Sierra off.

Seeing Cody get punched in the face set something off inside her. She could feel her anger build up as her blood boiled from the heat. If one looked and listened closely one could see her face turning red. Hear a soft whistling sound that was building up steam causing the whistling to grow until...the beast within was released. Sierra let out a loud shriek, tackled Courtney and Heather to the ground, and pinned them down. Chef soon came up to the team's section to take Courtney and Heather off to the side. If they couldn't work together or with their teammates they weren't going to work at all. They were out of the challenge; however, just because they couldn't participate in the challenge did not mean they were excused from singing.

Ding, ding, ding went the sound bell. It was time for everyone to sing or risk elimination from the game. Let the song commence, now.

~Song Time~

(Note: I may include some actual songs in this story. Please know that I do not own any of these songs. All original work goes to the artist(s) who sang and wrote them.)

~Song Time Over~

"Wow Owen, you were great as the lead voice in that song." Izzy complimented Owen on his performance.

"You really think so?" Owen asked. "And how about you guys? (his teammates) What did you think?"

"Dude you were great." Trent said patting Owen on the back.

"Yeah, that was great work." Duncan said giving Owen a thumbs up.

"I'll admit, even I thought you did a good job." Noah said.

"I too must admit your singing was moi bein amigo." Alejandro said. "I could never match your singing potential or greatness. Your voice songs like the beautiful swallow as it sings to attract a mate during the Spring."

"*chuckling* Aw shucks Al, that's sweet of you to say." Owen said blushing a little. He was become a bashful little boy.

~Alejandro's Confession~

"I want to gain the trust of as many people as I can during the competition. I already have an alliance with Courtney, I'm sweet talking Lindsey on the side to help me out with a few favors, and Owen is easy enough to persuade with the right kind of compliments. Its a start but I plan to expand my horizons and opportunities to win this game in good time."

~Confession Over~

Who doesn't love a good candy song while working with candy? Makes the time go by a little faster. Which is what happened. The clock now read two hours forty seven minutes and fifty five seconds left in the challenge. Everyone had to pick up the pace if they wanted to finish on time. The pace was picked up in all three stations. Now that Courtney and Heather were sitting on the sidelines, the rest of the team were going to do things their own way. Picking up different tools, Gwen, Becky, Cody, and Sierra got to work on the chocolate block.

~Two Hours forty seven minutes and fifty five seconds later~

"...And that's time everyone! Stop what you're doing!" Chris cried out.

All tools were dropped, hands up, backing away from the chocolate. No more work could be done on the chocolate block. Even if someone wanted to put a last touch or fix a mistake they couldn't. If they did that would likely lead to an immediate disqualification from the challenge. No one dared to do anything with the chocolate until after the judging. Speaking of which, the judging was about to begin. Everyone stood next to their chocolate sculptures as Chris, Chef, and two guest judges came up in front of everyone.

"Alright everyone, you had four hours to sculpt a giant block of chocolate for the company to help sell their newest chocolate candy bars. Now its time to see which team's sculpture will be put out on display for the public." Chris explained. "On my right you'll see our judges who'll be helping me decide the winner." "We've got Chef."

"Eh yeah hi whatever." Chef said clearly bored and not interested in this.

"One of our special guest judges, the host of Sweet Genius, monsieur Ron Ben-Israel."

"Hello everyone."

~Owen's Confession~

"Ron Ben-Israel? THE Ron Ben-Israel?! The man who's considered a sweet genius is here. HERE! Standing right in front of me! *repeatedly saying oh my god*"

~Confession Over~

~Harold's Confession~

"I can't believe Chris actually convinced Ron Ben-Israel to be a judge for the challenge today. I mean the man's best know for his science and sweet sugar creations. How in the world did Chris get him to be on this show?"

~Confession Over~

~Noah's Confession~

"I'll bet you this guy's an actor playing Ron Ben Israel. I mean seriously, why would a famous renowned guy like him be on a show like this?"

~Confession Over~

"And last but not least, our last judge for the challenge. May I present to you, mister Simpson." (Don't ask me why I choose Homer Simpson. I've been recently watching episodes of The Simpsons. Just figured he'd make a good judge who got involved with chocolate.)

"Greetings fellow teens on television." Homer said. "I want to thank all of you for allowing me this opportunity to judge then eat your chocolate."

"Uh actually mister Simpson you don't get to eat the chocolate." Chris said.

"What?! Nnnnnnooooo! *falls on his knees*" Homer cried out.

~Heather's Confession~

"Who is this guy? Some idiot they found raiding the garbage?"

~Confession Over~

~Homer's Confession~

"*looking around* Uh...*rubs his neck* Um...so...where's the camera and what am I suppose to do again?"

~Confession Over~

"Let's begin the judging with Team Radical Sport's." Chris said walking with the three gentlemen up to Music Strikers chocolate sculpture.

"Gentlemen, may I present to you our teams sculpture. *pulls off the blanket covering the sculpture to reveal...*" Alejandro said.

Underneath the blanket the sculpture revealed to be a model of Germany's famous clock tower. The team did a replica of the famous Rathaus-Glockenspiel. A famous clock that attracted attention from the village folk and tourists. The judges took a good hard look at the tower before giving their opinion on it to the team.

"Your chocolate is well carved. You all put much work into this smoothing out the edges and carving out the details to create this clock tower. Though I do notice some minor mistakes on the roof. That obviously gave you the most trouble." Ron Ben Israel said.

"We misplaced the tool to form, give the roof its shape. We had to result to using spoons instead." Trent said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Dudes I like your creative thinking but this would have looked better if you could have made those little robotic figures that come out every hour." Chris said.

"We're not sculpting experts. There was no way we were doing that." Noah said. "Besides, carving out the details was difficult enough. Especially with how much chocolate we had to work through."

~Noah's Confession~

"It was similar too trying to dig through a mountain of heavy snow, impossible."

~Confession Over~

Moving on to Radical Sport's, they looked eager to show off their sculpture.

"Gentlemen, it is my honor to present to you our chocolate masterpiece." Harold presented removing the sheet. Their chocolate sculpture was Leshawna and Harold on top of a mountain with a goat. "I thought I'd capture the beautiful mountain side with myself and Leshawna on it."

Homer stared at the chocolate in deep thought.

"I love how you captured you and your sweetheart in chocolate. You obviously put a lot of thought and time into this." Ron Ben Israel said. "Though while I admire your display of affection I wonder how you were able to come up with the idea and how you were able to make the sculptures so life like."

"Anything is possible with the power of love." Harold replied.

"And some kitchen utensils." Geoff added in.

"It wasn't easy but we did it. Four hours of hard work worth it." Bridgette said.

"I can see that, you should be proud of yourselves." Ron Ben Israel said nodding in agreeance.

"Well I'm not usually a sucker for romance but hey, you kids did good." Chef said with a shrug. "Simpson what do you think? Simpson? Simpson?"

Homer was still staring at the sculpture. "Wow...when I look at this sculpture I see myself and my wife, Marge." He said never taking his eyes off of the sculpture.

While he stared at the sculpture the other three judges moved on to the Crystal Platypus' sculpture. They were the last team to be judged but they were also struggling the most with this challenge.

"I gotta say, I wasn't sure you guys would finish on time." Chris began. "There was quite the commotion earlier at the beginning between Courtney and Heather. *looks at the girl's* You two were going at it like a pair of rabid raccoons. Wasn't sure whether to have Chef use a tranquilizer gun or throw you both in cages."

"Well maybe if a certain someone listened to me we wouldn't have been pulled aside." Courtney said giving a quick cold glare at Heather.

"Don't be a wise ass. You wouldn't listen to me." Heather said.

Before the two could go at each others throats Chef pulled them back. Holding them by their shirt collars above the floor. He was clearly unamused and annoyed with the two of them. Just wanted them to shut up. The sooner a winner was picked the better.

"Uh let's just move ahead and reveal our sculpture." Becky said removing the sheet. "The four of us all had different ideas so we picked the best of our drawings. We present to you this statue of the fictional hero, Captain America. *nervous smile*"

It wasn't exactly the best sculpture with some flaws. Didn't look much like the Captain. In fact it looked like a broken down mannequin with a blank face. It was an unfortunate failed attempt. Sure they tried and at least they completed the challenge but it was obvious to say the Platypus' were not going to win first class.

"Well I'll be honest with you guys. This isn't the best nor the worst thing I've ever seen. Its just uh...sort of..in between what looks like a uh...*rubs his neck* *sigh* Okay let's face it this isn't going to win you the challenge, sorry." Chris explained.

"Yeah...we know but we didn't want to present you with nothing." Becky said. "It wasn't easy since we're not professional sculptures and none of us have ever worked with chocolate this big."

"True...*nodding his head* Well let's just go ahead and pick a winner." Chris said. He gathered the judges, talked quietly amongst themselves, then turned back around facing the teams to announce the winner. "And the winner of today's challenge is...Team Radical Sports."

The team cheered with joy. Their chocolate sculpture was the best, winning them the challenge. Chris told them they not only won the challenge but a reward of a years supply of homemade chocolate for each team member. The disappointed Owen who was on his knees crying out in disappointment.

Homer walked over to join Owen. He was just as disappointed as he was.

~Owen's Confession~

"All that chocolate gone to waste for nothing. *cries out* Oh we were so close to winning all that rich creamy and elegant chocolate goodness. *holds the word why*"

~Confession Over~

"Congrats to the Radical Sports and congrats to the Musical Strikers for coming in second place. *earns some cheers from that team* Unfortunately for the Crystal Platypus' you guys lost; however, since this was an award challenge no one is going home today." Chris was telling the teams. "You didn't have your A game on today. Better try getting things in order with your teammates if you want to save yourself from another lose. The next challenge may cause you an elimination."

~Becky's Confession~

"Yikes, the next challenge could cause us an elimination if we don't get our act together. Courtney and Heather's constant arguing and fighting over who's in charge is going to ruin our chances for first class. Those two need to shape up, get their act together, and work with the rest of us. We're a team."

~Confession Over~

"Well let's give a big round of applause for our guest judges Ron Ben-Israel and Homer Simpson." Chris said clapping soon joined by everyone else.

"Thank you, I appreciated this opportunity." Ron Ben-Israel said giving a small bow.

"This has been a glorious day! Now if you'll all excuse me, I'm off to eat the chocolate statues of the losing teams." Homer said running off to the chocolate statues. This sure brightened his mood.

Chris smiles as he turns to the camera. "Well today sure brought out a whole lot of things. Teamwork, argument, and astonishment. Will Heather and Courtney get their act together? Will Harold's creativity for sculpting out of chocolate continue? Tune in to the next episode of Total. Drama. World Tour!"
