Total Drama Snowscapes Chapter 4: Introduction to the Snow: Part 2, a total drama series fanfic

-Episode 2: Introduction the Snow: Part 2-

Chris and Chef were sitting together on their ski lift bench, just where they were at the end of the previous episode. "Last time on Total Drama Snowscapes..." Chris began to recap the events of the previous episode, with footage showing each of the 20 contestants playing as he talked. "We got to meet the cast of our new season, certainly an interesting bunch! Of course, they got blown out of the sky since we couldn't land the helicopter, and we got to see them handle themselves on a quick run to sort themselves into teams. Now it'll be time for their real challenge, and we'll have to see how they really can perform! Who will crumble under the pressure? Find out right here, on Total, Drama, Snowscapes!"

Intro:

Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine

The title sequence began with cameras popping out of random places covered in snow, one of them popping out of a tree and facing toward the ground, completely useless. Chris was standing in front of the snow lodge, one hand raised towards it and the other on his hip. As the camera zoomed past him and into the lodge, Chris dove out of the way.

You guys are on my mind

Katelyn was filing her nails at the lodge bar, having a disinterested look on her face while Preston sat next to her and watched, holding all of the beauty supplies on his lap. Sienna was waiting for her turn to use them, and when she opened her mouth to say something, Katelyn glared at her to shut her up.

You asked me what I wanted to be, and now I think the answer is plain to see

Further into the common area, Mathias was counting each of the breaks that made up the fireplace out loud while Roxanne was chilling on one of the chairs just listening to her music, with Foxtrot sitting near her to listen in. His counting was getting annoying, so Roxanne turned up her volume, which then annoyed Mathias.

I wanna be famous~

Chef was walking out of the kitchen towards the common area where the others were sitting, with a tray of cookies in his hands. He heard the loud music and frowned, although Sharon zipped by him and snatched a cookie off the tray while he was standing still. Mario tries to take one as well, although Chef moves the tray away from him.

I wanna live close the sun

Going into the dining hall that Chef had just come from, Ralph was showing a card trick to an unamused Grecia, then pulled a card out of her ear seemingly out of nowhere. Miriam was watching the trick, and smirked as she pointed at the card in his sleeve and ruined the trick.

So pack your bags 'cuz I've already won

Outside of the lodge, Hedrick was sitting behind a bush and watching a trap he set up in the snow to catch something. Lucas was unfortunate enough to walk into it, which snatched him up with a rope net and held him from a tree. Hedrick rolled his eyes while Lucas began to yell at him.

Everything to prove nothing in my way, I'll get there one day

Raphael and Keith arrived at the lodge after a long run, with both of the boys fairly tired. They both gave each other a fist bump out of respect, although Raphael quickly noticed Lucas in the trap and rushed to help him.

'Cuz I wanna be famous~

Destiny was sitting by herself at the top of a hill making a snowman, although it nearly got knocked over by Van's snowboard as she and Lola ran by to ride down the hill.

Nanananana, nanananana nananana

Lola and Van rode side by side down the snowy hill, soon catching up to Cynthia, who gave the two of them a polite wave. Lola waved back, which made her lose her balance and begin tumbling down the hill.

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous

Biff was skiing further down the hill, and he was soon crashed into from behind by Lola, and the two of them now snowballed all the way down to the bottom two rocks of the hill, which made the snowball they had built from tumbling down burst, throwing both snow and dollar bills from Biff at the screen.

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous

The snowball burst on the screen melted away and transitioned to a bonfire outside the lodge in the Elimination Peak, where Chef was handing out hot chocolate to everyone. As the cast whistled the final bits of the song, everyone including Chris raised their cups with a smile, while the shot zoomed out a little bit to show the name of the season on a wooden sign.

Chris and Chef arrived at the top of the ski lift, where the rest of the contestants were waiting for them. The lodge itself wasn't at the top of the lift as Chris had promised though, instead there being the same waiting area as at the bottom, and two empty sleighs. "Welcome to the Pahkitew Ski Resort!" Chris greeted everyone as he stepped off the lift bench.

Everyone was just sitting on the benches of the waiting area, all getting up once they saw Chris. "Are you gonna explain why you blew us out of the sky now? Or are you just gonna glance over it like the sociopath you are?" Miriam asked right away, narrowing her eyes at Chris.

"I hope you all enjoyed the trip here, because things are only going to go up from here!" Chris exclaimed ignoring what Miriam had just said.

Lola raised her hand, looking around the area. "Hey Chris, I think the lodge vanished. I don't see it anywhere! Ooh, what if aliens took it?" Lola pointed out that the lodge wasn't here, which many were wondering about.

"Aliens?" Mario asked, raising an eyebrow.

Lola nodded quickly. "Yeah! Aliens! Like with the oofos! They might have grabbed it. Why would they do that though? Maybe they don't have lodges where they're from." Lola elaborated, just adding more confusion to the mix.

"You mean U. ?" Keith corrected Lola.

Lola tapped a finger to her chin. "I don't think I FO'd, whatever that is." Lola replied, to which Keith and Mario simultaneously facepalmed.

Chris shook his head at Lola, this having run its course. "No, the lodge wasn't taken by aliens. It's just further up the mountain! That's why you have the sleighs here!" Chris stated, then pointed at the two sleighs, one pink and one yellow.

Van looked over at the sleighs, then back at Chris. "So we're just riding to the lodge in sleighs? Aight, I can get with that. Barely enough room for like 3 people in the sleigh themselves though." Van pointed out, since the sleighs weren't a larger size to accommodate the teams.

Chris chuckled, then wagged a finger at Van. "We'll get to that! For now, we've got some quick details to go over. If I said you were on Team A, stand over here on my left, and Team B will stand on my right!" Chris ordered, pointing to the spots near him for the teams to gather.

Everyone did as told, sorting themselves and standing where Chris had told them. They had lined up in random order, standing side by side facing each other. "...8, 9, 10... perfect!" Chris quickly counted everyone, giving one clap afterward as he walked between both teams.

Chris turned to Team A first, looking at Raphael. "Raphael! You'll be the captain of Team A since you arrived here first!" Chris announced, mostly for everyone else to hear.

Raphael saluted to Chris while the others on Team A looked to him. "I won't let you down team!" Raphael assured everyone, his voice loud and thunderous.

Ralph drew a card from his deck, getting a four of clubs. "We'll see how this goes then..." he mumbled to himself.

Keith sighed with relief seeing that Raphael was their captain. "Looks like a good leader to me, I say we got lucky." Keith commented.

Chris looked at the rest of the members, then pointed to each of them individually as he said their names so everyone would know who they were. "The rest of you, Sharon, Mario, Preston, Katelyn, Ralph, Sienna, Lucy, Keith, Miriam, Keith, you guys are the members that make up the Polar Pythons!" Chris announced, followed by Chef tossing them a yellow flag.

Sharon snatched said flag out of the air and unrolled it, revealing a logo of an angry python coiled up and showing its fangs. "Sick! I was worried a yellow flag would be something cute. But this looks totally radical!" Sharon exclaimed as she looked at the logo.

Chris turned to face Team B now, looking at Van first. "Van, you'll be the captain of Team B!" Chris announced for everyone, with Van getting a confident smirk on her face.

Biff groaned, then raised his hand. "Hey! Is the position of captain up for a bid? I'll start the bidding with 400 bucks actually, we'll see if anyone can top that." Biff proposed, not liking Van as a captain.

Chris shook his head, sending a glance to Biff. "I said I don't do bribes. If you wanted captain, you should have gotten here first." Chris told him bluntly.

Cynthia patted Biff on the back, seeing him frown at this news. "Don't worry, I'm sure Van will be a great captain." Cynthia assured Biff calmly.

Biff pushed Cynthia's hand off his back, crossing his arms angrily. "No! I should be captain! My dad lets me manage our warehouses from time to time, so managing teens is already my kind of thing!" Biff argued, then kicked some of the snow near him.

"Entitled prick..." Hedrick muttered as he watched Biff throw his little tantrum.

Roxanne looked over at Van and gave a casual thumbs, approving of her as a captain, then put her hands back in her jacket pockets. "Well at least some of y'all have respect." Van commented, sending a glare to Biff.

"The rest of you! Foxtrot, Roxanne, Grecia, Biff, Cynthia, Destiny, Mathias, Lola, Hedrick, you guys are the members of the Frozen Felines!" Chris announced, with Chef tossing the pink flag to the team.

Destiny caught the flag and unrolled it, revealing a logo with a cute cat swiping a claw and showing its fangs just like the python, albeit much less threatening. "Hmm... cool..." Destiny commented as she looked at it.

"But we're not all girls..." Foxtrot said, noting the feminine nature of their flag and name.

"Umm ackthually..." Grecia spoke up, adjusting her glasses. "Every male has an XY chromothome makeup, while females have XX. Thus, every male having an X chromothome means that they all have a bit of theemale in them." Grecia noted.

Mathias heard this and did a quick count of everyone on their team. "So that's 16 X chromosomes and and 4 Y ones. Interesting..." it wasn't.

"Are you gonna tell us what the sleighs are for now?" Van asked, tapping her foot as she waited for an answer.

Chris nodded, walking over to the sleighs in question. "Yep! So you probably noticed that there is nothing to pull these sleighs! That's where you guys come in! You'll be pulling your captains to the lodge!" Chris announced what the challenge was, picking up the ropes attached to the front of the sleighs.

Mario crossed his arms, narrowing his eyes at Chris. "Mamma mia, you can't be serious. Why have the captain be the one on the sleigh? Raphael is super strong, he'd be perfect for this." Mario questioned, pointing to Raphael and his muscles afterward.

Miriam let out a sarcastic laugh, then elbowed Mario. "That's why the captain is the one in the sleigh, to make it harder for the rest of us." Miriam remarked, with Chris nodding to confirm.

Raphael and Van walked to their sleighs and sat down on the seats, neither of them too happy about this arrangement. "Don't worry y'all, it's 9 peeps pulling 1 person, can't be that tough." Van tried to assure her team as she sat down.

While everyone else began to walk up to the ropes and grabbed what would normally be worn by sleigh wolves, Chris walked over a porta-potty and lightly pounded a fist on it to get everyone's attention. "Oh, another thing! You'll see these porta-potties everywhere around the resort, these are your confessionals! Got some thoughts on your head? Or just something you want to let the audience know? Well now we have these spread out so you can use them wherever, whenever!" Chris told them all, with Chef walking out of the porta-potty after Chris finished the explanation.

A few fumes came out of the porta-potty, clearly created by Chef from use. "Could that not have waited dude?" Chris asked Chef sharply, covering his nose with one hand.

Confessional: Frozen Felines: Lola

Lola was looking around the confessional curiously for a moment, then realized there was a camera attached to the door. "Oh that's how they record us in here? I thought there was a camera guy in here the whole time! Anyway, hiiii! I'm Lola, don't know if they introduced us yet, or did they already show me saying my name? Did they record the stuff on the plane? Ooh! Speaking of planes, we rode one here if you didn't know. It crashed, although I think Chris did it on purpose. Super happy to be here!"

Confessional: Polar Pythons: Lucas

Lucas had his arms crossed, in a sour mood considering everything he had already dealt with today. "Great, this is off to a pretty bad start. Lots of people here are weirdos. And I got stuck with those rich kids who messed with me during the last challenge. Katelyn and Preston, kinda unfair they get to be on the same team since they're siblings. We definitely have to get rid of one, or else they just have two votes basically."

Confessional Over

Both teams were now lined up on the snow covered path up the mountain, which was a pretty simple zigzag up to the lodge. Everyone had the snow boots provided to them, although the 3 inch snow on the path was still fairly annoying. Raphael and Van sat in their sleighs, neither very happy about it. "Alright maggots! Give it your all so we can establish dominance on our enemy!" Raphael tried to rally everyone up, his booming voice startling all of them.

Katelyn was standing next to Preston, although holding onto the rope standing still was already bothering her. "Ugh, I'm gonna get a chipped nail, I just know it." she complained.

"I can apply a matching coat when we get to the lodge, don't worry." Preston assured her.

Katelyn rolled her eyes, then reluctantly nodded. "Fine, but you're still going to have to do the heavy lifting, I can't push myself too hard or else I'll sweat and ruin my makeup on the first day." Katelyn told Preston, who just obediently nodded.

Lucas was standing behind them next to Sharon, appalled by what he was hearing. "Can't believe how lazy she is..." Lucas mumbled to himself.

Sharon heard him mumble, so she looked his way for a moment. "What did you say? You're trying to contain your excitement too aren't you? This challenge is gonna be AWESOME! Pulling a sleigh up a steep mountain, that's so extreme!" Sharon guessed loudly.

"Yeah, sure..." Lucas replied, a bit offput by her enthusiasm.

Van was sizing up the other team from her seat, then looked at her own team and wasn't sure how to feel. "We've both got a few string beans here, fair game I suppose." she said to herself, not trying to scare her team like Raphael had.

Mathias was counting all of the handles along the rope, standing in the back row of the team. There were five rows of two, although only one person was at the front due to there being an odd number of pullers. "So that's 18 handles being used, and 2 not being used. Interesting Chris included that." Mathias observed.

"How come you count all of that?" Destiny asked, standing next to Mathias.

Mathias shrugged. "I just loooove counting you know? It's fun." he answered.

Foxtrot was standing in front of Mathias, and he looked back at them after hearing him. "I like to count random things when I'm bored... is it just a hobby of yours to count?" Foxtrot asked.

Mathias shook his head, then pointed at himself proudly. "Counting isn't just a hobby, it's a lifestyle! Never hurts to count!" Mathias replied, making Foxtrot and Destiny exchange somewhat confused looks.

Roxanne was standing next to Foxtrot, just tuning out Mathias's weird proclamation with her headphones. She was blasting dubstep remixes of Christmas songs, although they could only faintly be heard since she was listening to them with her headphones.

Biff was standing next to Lola, getting uneasy as he felt the rope. "I'm going to get rope burn just from holding this, my hands will be ruined!" Biff complained, dropping his handle.

Lola giggled, then showed him one of her hands. "You'll get used to it quickly, like super trust. I play tennis like every day, but my hand is perfectly fine, see? It kinda sorta just heals real fast! Your hand will just look red for a bit. Why red though? Why not like, black? When pizza is burnt it turns black, so why are hands red when they're burnt?" Lola assured him, going off into a tangent as always.

Biff blinked in confusion at her tangent, although a devious smirk soon appeared on his face. "Lola, was it? You're a pretty cute gal. A sporty one at that, you'll do well in this game." Biff complimented her out of nowhere.

Lola wasn't confused at all though, gaining a big smile upon being complimented. "Really? Thanks! You're really nice, that's like, super good for this game isn't it?" Lola accepted the compliment.

Biff nodded his head. "Yeah, and you know how you too could be really nice right now? Pull both of our handles okay? You're athletic, so you'll do better at it than I would. Do that for me, and we can make out at the lodge okay?" Biff requested, lowering his voice a little and winking at her afterward.

Lola gave a thumbs up with her spare hand, then grabbed the other handle. "You got it!" Lola replied, then took his handle.

Confessional: Frozen Felines: Biff

Biff snickered, sitting with his hands under his legs to keep them warm. "Lola is a dumb one, which is just perfect. I can make her do all kinds of things for me and I don't even have to pay her. I just got a free pass for the challenge too!"

Confessional Over

Now that everyone was ready for the challenge, Chris stood ahead of the two sleighs, right in the middle of them. He had a pistol, which he raised up to the sky. "Alright, whichever team reaches the finish line at the lodge wins! Simple as that! On your marks, get set, GO!" Chris fired the pistol, starting the challenge.

Both teams began to pull once Chris gave the signal, running and pulling sleights past him. "Watch it!" Chris yelled at them as the sleighs nearly hit him when they passed by.

Right off the bat, the Frozen Felines pulled themselves ahead, and the speed both teams were building up from pulling only increased due to the momentum gained from pulling a sleigh. "Wonderful everyone, let's keep this pace." Cynthia calmly encouraged everyone as they pulled, seeing how much they were putting in.

Most of the Felines were putting in as much as they could, minus Biff and Grecia, with Biff running with the team instead of pulling and Grecia barely able to even reach her handle to pull.

Hedrick smirked as he looked back and saw that they were now putting a gap between themselves and the Pythons. "Guess I got on the good team." he said to himself, then looked forward as he continued to run at the front.

Raphael saw the lead that they were gaining and slammed a fist on his seat. "Mush! We can't let them get a lead so early soldiers!" Raphael yelled at the Pythons.

Ralph drew a card after getting this order, seeing a queen of clubs. "Hmm, I don't know if that's the part we'll have to worry about." Ralph commented as he put the card away.

"What do you mean? You can see the future with those cards?" Keith asked, pulling next to him.

Ralph shook his head. "Of course not, it's just superstition you know? I feel like there's more to this challenge than just pulling." Ralph replied, to which Keith nodded in understanding.

Confessional: Polar Pythons: Keith

Keith scratched his head for a moment, unsure of what to say. "Sorry for going quiet there, just, it's weird being here yeah? I'm from a small town, big things were the football team and my mom's gym. People with quirks like Ralph? Nonexistent. Kinda boring now that I think about it. I don't dislike Ralph, he hasn't done anything wrong, so I have no reason to, just seeing how weird some of these people are really makes you reevaluate what you see on TV."

Confessional Over

Even though they had gotten an early lead, the first actual obstacle would present itself, turning. Or it would have been a challenging part if all the members didn't just turn normally while they ran. Grecia saw the issue with this and spoke up right away. "We should turn at a sharp angle so the thleigh doesn't tip over. The left members should act as a fulcrum for the thleigh to pivot on so-"

"We're already turning!" Hedrick cut her off, since everyone was turning like normal.

This disproportionate turn did in fact go wrong though, as the sleigh didn't have the same flexible movement the players did, so it swerved around the turn and began to tilt to the right while the Felines turned left. "Gah, what the hell!?" Van shouted, holding onto the left side of the sleigh to stay on.

The Felines were fast enough though, and the sleigh fell back into position. It did slow them down a little, allowing the Pythons to close the gap. "Leth use my method next time." Grecia told the others sternly.

"Yeah, what she said..." Foxtrot agreed, frightened by something as simple as the sleigh tipping over.

There were 9 turns in the zig zag up the mountain, so the Felines would have to turn properly if they were going to keep their lead. "We're gaining on them! Let's a go!" Mario exclaimed as they hadn't lost their speed from the turn.

Sienna was already panting after just one turn, at the back row pulling with what little strength she had. "Yeah... great... group activity... love to... blog it..." she let out between pants.

Miriam was next to Sienna, and she wasn't sure whether to feel annoyed or just feel pity for her. "You seriously gotta get in shape, making us do all the work." Miriam told her.

"I... am... in shape..." Sienna replied, growing weaker with each word.

The second turn went a bit smoother for both teams, and they were soon neck and neck again after taking the turn. Although the Felines had taken a sharper turn, so they were still slightly ahead. "Just keep it up y'all, they're already gettin' tired from the looks of it." Van encouraged her team, looking at the Pythons like Sienna who were losing their strength.

Katelyn was another one getting a little tired as well, but it was clearly exaggerated since she wasn't sweating or panting at all. "Ugh, can this be over already, I'm so tired!" Katelyn cried out, taking her hands off the handle and forcing Preston to grab it and pull for her.

"Oh sure you are! You better keep pulling, cuz if we lose, you're outta here!" Lucas yelled at Katelyn, then quickly scooped up some snow and threw it at her.

Katelyn gasped as she was hit, as did a few others who saw. "How could you be so mean? Just because you're not tired doesn't mean you get to be mean like that!" Katelyn scolded Lucas, although she sounded like she was about to cry.

Keith shook his head at Lucas in disapproval. "Not cool Lucy, that was completely uncalled for." Keith told him, not knowing all the details.

"But earlier they threw snow at me! She deserves it!" Lucas defended himself before more could jump on him.

Preston looked surprised as well, his eyes widening. "I don't recall that happening, and I was with her the whole time. Maybe it was someone else?" Preston tried to clear some of the confusion.

"No, it was you! Both of you are bad apples, I just know it!" Lucas now turned attention to Preston as well, which just confused everyone else even more.

"HEY!" Raphael yelled at the Pythons. "No in-fighting! Especially during a challenge! I didn't see the incident in question, but it doesn't matter right now! We're losing the Felines!" Raphael barked at them, then pointed at the Felines who had now already made the third turn while the Pythons had slowed down significantly.

Katelyn sniffled up what would have been some tears and grabbed her handle again. "I'll keep pulling, just so Lucy doesn't yell at me again. Sorry..." Katelyn apologized, while Lucas scowled to himself.

"Don't worry about it, you're doing your best to be extreme! Let's catch up to those Felines!" Sharon dismissed the apology, still pumped as ever.

Confessional: Polar Pythons: Katelyn

Katelyn continued to sniffle some tears, before some giggling leaked out. "They all bought it! All except for Lucy of course, but who cares what she thinks." Katelyn boasted, then switched back to a normal expression and began to file her nails. "She's gonna be an issue, but I'm used to wannabe queens like her. She's got nothing on me. Not the looks, not the power, nothing. She'll regret crossing my path."

Confessional Over

The Frozen Felines went around the 4th turn, maintaining their lead on the Polar Pythons and keeping the momentum going. "There were 6 people involved in that fight, although 1 of them was their captain, and 2 of them didn't take their hands of their handles. Hmm... interesting." Mathias noted.

"We're getting further ahead of them too because of it, very nice..." Destiny agreed quietly.

As they approached the 5th turn, there was some rustling in the bushes near the path, before someone suddenly popped out. It was an intern, wearing the same snow gear the contestants were, just with red everything. This intern had light skin, teal eyes, and auburn hair that reached her shoulders. Chris had hired new interns it seemed, and based on this one being a perfect 10 with her voluptuous body, Chris probably had a hand in it.

The intern was holding a water gun, which she soon sprayed at the Felines to soak them. "Sorry! Just following orders!" the intern apologized as she fired at them.

"We understand!" Cynthia accepted the apology, even though it was freezing cold when they got sprayed due to the climate.

Them being covered in water made the fifth turn much harder, as the water on their boots quickly froze and made them slide a bit. "Wah! Stupid shoes!" Biff cried out as he nearly fell over. "If I could have brought my premium Gucci boots, I wouldn't have this problem!"

The sleigh nearly tipped over again, although Van jumped up in her seat and slammed the sleigh back down into position before it could do that. "Keep it together people! It's just some water!" Van ordered, not being wet herself since the sleigh had protected her.

Roxanne was annoyed by the water spraying most of all, since her headphones ended up getting soaked and stopped working. She lowered them from her ears with a huff, now more focused on pulling the sleigh.

While the Felines left and the Pythons approached the fifth turn, the intern at the bushes heard a beeping from inside her coat. She pulled out her walkie talkie and Chris's voice came on. "Debbie, you gotta turn the nozzle and really hose them down. Flaky, if you're listening, you better up your game too!" Chris told the Debbie and the other intern presumably stationed in the challenge.

"On it!" Debbie cheerfully replied, then turned off her walkie talkie as she adjusted the nozzle on the water gun.

As soon as the Pythons began to make the fifth turn, Debbie fired her water gun at them. It was now at a higher strength, although not a ton since Debbie didn't have much time to adjust it. Even Raphael got splashed, and all of the Pythons were covered head to toe in water.

"My hair!" Katelyn cried out, not daring touch it and mess it up further.

"Just keep pushing, it'll dry off normally if you leave it alone." Miriam replied quickly, not wanting another argument to break out.

Since the Pythons weren't going as fast when they made the turn, they didn't have the same slipping problem that the Felines did and saved more time despite going slower. "That's the spirit! Keep pulling soldiers! Mush!" Raphael commanded, giving some brief praise.

Confessional: Polar Pythons: Raphael

Raphael saluted the camera as soon as he stepped inside, having a proud smile. "Cadet Raphael John-Moore, reporting for duty! This is my first confessional, I figure I would give myself a proper introduction just in case Chris hadn't. I pride myself on my leadership skills, and I know a thing or two when it comes to leading troops like this. Needless to say, our team will thrive with me as captain!"

Confessional Over

Since their boots had been frozen over, the Felines were having a lot more trouble with steering. They had to slow down to make it through the 6th turn, and the Pythons quickly caught up with them because of it. "Oh no... they're gaining on us..." Destiny commented, looking back.

"Well? Keep pulling!" Biff ordered, looking back at her.

Destiny looked at Biff, quickly seeing that he wasn't doing a dang thing. "Maybe you could pull too..." she replied, keeping the same pace while she ran, not going faster or slower.

"It's fine... I got it..." Lola assured Destiny, although she was clearly getting tired from having to double time it.

The 7th turn came, which the Felines once again had to slow down to make since it was now too slippery for them to go at it full speed. "Ugh, Chris just had to throw that water at us, the Pythons didn't even get affected by it that bad! Talk about lame." Van complained, seeing that the Pythons didn't slow down at all on the turn right after the Felines.

Since the larger spray the Pythons had been hit by was spread out all over them, it was definitely colder, but their boots weren't as badly soaked. "We're not far behind, talk about a comeback! Comebacks always happen in sports flicks, so this is wicked gnarly!" Sharon exclaimed as they were soon neck and neck.

"Don't get too confident, the cocky guys always lose in those sports flicks too." Keith reminded Sharon, filled with determination now as they were getting closer to the end.

A view of the lodge could be seen looking over the last turn now from where the teams were, so one could literally keep their eyes on the prize now that it was visible. "I can... see it!" Sienna pointed briefly at the lodge, then went right back to pulling.

Both teams approached the 8th turn, and the second intern Flaky popped out from behind a tree near the path. She had the same outfit as Debbie, albeit with a much smaller frame. She had pale skin, red dandruff-filled hair that went down to her hips, and brown eyes. "S-Sorry!" Flaky apologized as she pulled out her own water gun.

The blast from her water gun was more akin to a fire hose, soaking both teams since they were close together and splashing water all over the place. Many closed their eyes as they were splashed, which wasn't ideal in a race like this.

After some annoyed grunts, yells, a snap, and some skidding, both teams made the 8th turn. "So c-cold..." Foxtrot shivered as he pulled, the double dousing of water in this climate making things unbearable even with the snow gear.

It was now just a full on sprint in the final stretch to the 9th turn, and both teams were using what strength they had left to pull as fast as they could. Chris and Chef were waiting at the top, having just walked up normally instead of zig zagging. "It's gonna be close!" Chris narrated, looking down at the teams.

The teams were still neck and neck, both captains glaring at each other with fierce determination as they could only believe in their team members that they could do it. Out of nowhere, Van's sleigh fell slightly behind Raphael's, and it seemed like the challenge was settled.

...

Hedrick took the 9th turn and stepped on the plateau at the top of the zig zag first, with a proud smirk on his face. His running soon turned into a walk to slow down, then came to a complete stop. Lola, Biff, Grecia, and Cynthia were right behind him, all equally happy they made it to the top first. "We won! This is wonderful!" Cynthia exclaimed, offering each member of her team a high five.

The Pythons all reached the top right after, although they seemed just as happy as the Felines. "We won, proud of you soldiers! We got here in one piece!" Raphael praised his team as he stepped out of the sleigh.

Chris clapped his hands, looking between the teams. "Game over! The Polar Pythons are out first winners of the season! They'll have some fresh hot cocoa waiting for them inside the lodge, and they'll be safe from elimination tonight!" Chris announced, prompting them all to erupt into cheers of victory.

Katelyn blew her nail file like it was a gun in a movie, then began to file her nails now that the challenge was over and hopefully fix the damage done from it. "Too easy." she said, as if she did all the work.

"I don't get it, we got here fir..." Biff began to protest, but he looked back and saw what had happened. The rest of the Felines had just now made it over the last turn as the rope that they were all pulling had split in half during the 8th turn.

"What the heck was that!? You guys let it split!?" Van yelled, pointing at the split rope.

Biff raised his hands innocently. "Wasn't me, I'm not strong enough to break it like that." Biff took the blame off himself right away.

"Lola was the only athletic one in the front..." Destiny pointed out, with Lola dropping her two handles and sighing.

Lola regrouped with the rest of the team that had fallen behind, waving to them with an awkward smile. "Wow... kinda stinks that we lost like that huh? You know, the funny thing is, I thought we were gonna win. But I guess that Kirk guy did you say if you get cocky you lose. Oh well! Maybe next time right?" Lola stated optimistically, although she only got glares in return.

Chris chuckled, then clapped his hands to get everyone's attention. "Alright people! Since we're actually at the lodge now, you guys can head inside! Don't worry about the soaked snow gear by the way, you have fresh and new team themed matching gear waiting in your rooms! It's a typical guys' room and girls' room deal, so it shouldn't take long for you guys to get situated. All your luggage is in there too." Chris announced the living arrangements, which relieved some like Katelyn who were more worried about appearance than anything.

"And the hot chocolate?" Mario asked, shivering immensely.

"It's being brought to your rooms as we speak by Chef! So get yourselves cozy yeah?" Chris answered, dismissing everyone to head to the lodge.

Confessional: Frozen Felines: Van

Van had both fists clenched, letting out an angered grunt. "This is some serious crud, we got robbed at the last second! Didn't even think that could happen so suddenly. But I already know who I'm voting for anyway, let's just hope some stupid crap doesn't happen next challenge."

Confessional: Polar Pythons: Preston

Preston had both hands on his lap, smiling politely at the camera. "My sister is someone of many talents, and she used many of them today as you saw or possibly missed. She cut us a victory, and I'll continue to support her as her wonderous skills guide us along."

Confessionals Over

In the common area of the lodge during the evening, the Polar Pythons were now celebrating their victory with their large mugs of hot chocolate. They were all wearing yellow parkas with the python logo on the back of them, and jet black thermal pants for a striking contrast. "To the Polar Pythons! This first victory is so going in my blog when I get back home!" Sienna raised her mug to toast.

"To the Polar Pythons!" Everyone else cheered in unison, clinking their mugs among one other before taking a sip.

All ten of them sat down on the couches near the fireplace, taking in as much warmth as they could to recover from earlier. "This place is kind of nice, better than what I was expecting that geezer to give us." Miriam commented, then took a long sip.

"Mhmm, it actually feels kinda like a vacation." Keith agreed, letting out a relaxed sigh afterwards.

Lucas was sitting in an armchair by himself as he drank his hot chocolate, still a bit bitter. That was until Preston walked up to him. "Hello." Preston greeted Lucas politely.

"What do you want?" Lucas asked coldly.

Preston sat down in the chair next to Lucas, giving him a warm smile. "Lucy, I wanted to apologize for what happened earlier. I always stand by my sister, you can understand always defending a sibling right?" Preston began to apologize.

Lucas nodded slowly, so Preston continued. "Well I suppose I should have questioned her instead of blindly agreeing. I know I can't undo our little incident, but I wanted to let you know I sincerely apologize and hope that we can start over now that we're on the same team." Preston finished his apology.

Lucas thought for a moment, and his bitterness disappeared a little. "You know what, I'm all for a fresh start. Not friends, we'll get there later, but you earned some respect for actually apologizing. I thought you and her were some rich scumbags to be honest." Lucas accepted the apology, making Preston's warm smile grow.

"Perfect, and I understand why would you feel that way. Take care." Preston told Lucas, then walked away to go sit back with Katelyn.

At the lodge's bar, Hedrick, Roxanne, and Biff were sitting together and watching the Pythons celebrate. They were now wearing pink snowboard hoodies with the cat logo on the front, and white thermal pants to compliment it. "It's stupid that we lost because of Lola tryharding, that could be us right now." Biff stated, crossing his arms.

Hedrick nodded in agreement. "Yeah, she's annoying too. I'm not doing this strategy talk though, goodbye." was all Hedrick said before he got out of his seat and walked away.

Biff watched Hedrick leave, then turned to Roxanne. "You agree we should vote her off too right? I'll pay you extra if you vote with me tonight. I've got tons of money in my luggage." Biff tried to bribe Roxanne, who was now wearing a small pair of earbuds to listen to her music.

Roxanne just gave Biff a deadpan look, then tapped the button on the side of her earbuds to turn up the volume. "I'll take that as a yes, I've gotta go meet with Lola anyway. Toodles!" Biff told Roxanne, then hopped out his seat and walked away excitedly.

That night, just outside the lodge, all ten members of the Frozen Felines were seated by a cliffside in two rows of five on tree stumps. There was a bonfire burning in front of them to set the atmosphere, and Chris was holding a tray with 9 s'mores on it. "Welcome to Elimination Peak! Where you decide who gets sent down the Cliff of Shame!" Chris greeted the team, pointed to the steep drop that was just 30 feet away from where they were sitting.

Chef was holding a pair of skis for whoever was getting eliminated, as well as an extremely dorky helmet with a dunce cap on top. "Inside the lodge confessional, you'll find ID cards of each of your teammates. Like a hotel, you would scan them! Except here, you scan the card of the person you want to eliminate." Chris explained, holding up a sample ID card with his own face on it.

"Now get voting!" Chris ordered, tossing his own card aside.

Voting Confessionals

Biff

The lodge confessional was a nice looking bathroom compared to a porta potty, where Biff was holding Lola's card, which he scanned on the card reader next to the bathroom sink. "Sorry girl, I got my use out of you, now you gotta go." he then pointed a hickey on his neck.

Cynthia

Cynthia was holding three cards in one hand, looking between them with uncertainty. "I don't like having to pick, especially when the elimination is as harsh as being dropped off a cliff. No hard feelings okay?"

Grecia

Grecia was barely visible in the lodge confessional, her head poking up behind the sink. She held up Lola's card, then scanned it. "They should accommodate for all heights, this is prepostherous." Grecia mumbled as she left.

Foxtrot

Foxtrot grabbed Biff's card, then scanned it. "Biff was really being creepy in the plane and he kinda is just a jerk. It feels really obvious that'd he leave, but does that mean the opposite will happen? I hope not..."

Confessionals Over

Now that all the votes were cast, the mood was much more tense as plenty were unsure of who voted for who. "Ah, I kinda miss the feeling of eliminations. It's good to be back." Chris said, sighing in comfort afterward.

Chris grabbed the first smore from the tray, looking at the Felines with his typical smile. "When I call your name, come get your smore! You'll be safe, and you get a nice campfire treat prepared by Chef. You all know what happens if you don't get one..." Chris explained, looking to see who was the most tense.

"Smores go to..."

...

"Cynthia."

Cynthia stood up and was handed her smore by Chris after walking up to him. "Phew, what a relief. Good luck everyone." Cynthia told the rest of the Felines as she sat back down.

...

"Van."

Van took her smore off the tray quickly, with a cocky smirk on her face. "I'd better have been safe. You wouldn't wanna see my reaction if y'all voted me off when I wasn't even allowed to help."

...

"Foxtrot."

Foxtrot scampered over and grabbed his smore off the tray, then began to eat it without a word as he sat back down.

...

"Grecia."

"As I ethpected." Grecia stated as she walked up to Chris. The host had to lower the tray for her to grab hers, to which she accepted the gesture begrudgingly.

...

"Hedrick."

Hedrick remained silent as he stepped up, grabbed his smore of safety, and sat back down.

...

"Destiny."

Destiny had a relieved smile on her face as she grabbed her smore. "Safe for now..." she said to herself as she walked back to her seat.

...

"Roxanne."

Roxanne casually grabbed her smore and spun it around on one finger, then took a bite of it on the way back of her seat.

...

"Mathias."

Mathias was counting each of his steps as he walked up to grab his smore. "7 people were safe before me, 2 are not safe yet, which makes me number 8. Very cool." he commented, then sat back down.

This left the bottom 2, both of them being shocked to be here. "Huh? Did I do something wrong? Or does the order not really matter with these? It'd be kinda weird if it didn't, since it'd kill the suspense." Lola asked in confusion.

"Oh it matters, you two got the most votes from your teammates, which is why you're in the bottom 2!" Chris replied, letting some dread build up in Lola now.

Biff was trying to hide his concern, curling up on his seat and hugging his knees. Lola just had her hands in her hoodie pockets, looking at the last smore on the tray worriedly. "Only one of you gets this last smore, and that someone is..."

...

"Lola."

Lola sighed with relief, then walked up and grabbed the last smore. "Sorry Biff! It was nice meeting you at least! I didn't even vote for you actually. Why weren't they in the bottom 2 then? Shouldn't the bottom 2 be the people that got voted for? Oh wait, that would be more than 2..." Lola figured out her own tangent as she sat back down.

Biff took off his beanie and threw it at the snowy ground, furious with this result. "First boot? Seriously!? I would have paid you all if you voted with me! You're making a big mistake!" Biff yelled at his teammates.

"Quite the conthrary, this was the mosth logical soluthion." Grecia replied snootily, with Van nodding in agreement with her.

Chris wagged his finger at Biff. "Now Biff, what did I tell you earlier about not bribing? That applied to the contestants too. They clearly didn't care for it, especially since you didn't really provide them with anything besides money that you didn't give them." Chris mocked Biff, while Chef now approached with the skis.

Chef grabbed Biff's arm and set the skis on the ground, which Biff stepped into once they were there. "My dad doesn't do advance payments, so neither do I. I'm still richer than all of you at the end of the day! Even you Chris! So ha! Take that!" Biff bragged, pointing a finger back at Chris.

"Push him." Chris ordered.

Chef kicked Biff from behind, sending the brat flying forward and off the cliff, screaming all the way down. "Good riddance. Wasn't sure if I could do another episode with that one." Chris commented with relief once he was gone.

Chris turned to the Felines, who were all now enjoying their smores. "The rest of you, go ahead and hang out here, chill inside, or get to bed, your choice. Place is yours to vacation up after all." Chris told them.

"Wait really?" Foxtrot asked meekly.

Chris nodded his head. "Yup, do whatever you feel like. Chef and I are gonna be playing darts in our man cave if any of you feel like joining in. G'night!" Chris replied, with Chef soon following Chris inside the lodge and leaving the Felines outside.

While Chris and Chef walked to the lodge, the host soon faced the camera. "So that was a bit of an expected conclusion, but still satisfying to see! What lies in store for the teens at this resort? Is Biff going to learn money isn't the answer to all his problems? Maybe it'll cover the hospital bill. Who will take the dive off the Cliff of Shame next? Find out next time, on Total, Drama, Snowscapes!" Chris concluded the episode, raising his arms as he and Chef walked downstairs.

Polar Pythons: Raphael, Sharon, Mario, Katelyn, Preston, Lucas, Keith, Miriam, Ralph, Sienna

Frozen Felines: Van, Hedrick, Lola, Grecia, Destiny, Cynthia, Roxanne, Foxtrot, Mathias

Eliminated:

Biff

Thank you all for reading! I know many of you were probably getting worried that this was abandoned like a lot of other SYOCs tend to be. But fret not! Here we are! Biff is gone, as to be expected, he was just here created by me as early boot material. Some people didn't like having an author's OC here, so I decided it would just be best to relegate him to first boot. Let me know what you thought of this episode in the reviews, and I shall see you all next time!
