Episode 23: Camp Castaways

"Last time on Total Drama Island," Chris said with the usual shot of him on the dock. "In a special episode, we visited the kicked off campers in their resort of rejects, Playa de Losers." Several clips of campers were shown. "We learned that Allen and Erica are still going strong" The musician planted a kiss on her cheek. "Annie still hates the producers," Annie was shown ranting about the Phobia challenge being rigged. "And Donnie is still ticked about being betrayed," Donna was shown ranting about her elimination. "In a shocking twist," the host was shown addressing the losers, "We let the losers vote off one of the final five campers," A clip of Louis's wide-eyed look was shown. "And in an even more shocking twist, It was Ramona who found herself in Loserville," She was pushed into the boat of losers by Chef. "Population Eighteen."

The camera flashed back to Chris. "Who will be voted off tonight in the most dramatic campfire ceremony yet? Find out tonight, on Total Drama! Island!

The episode started with a long-distance shot of Chris at the dock in the rain while holding a black umbrella. "Welcome back to Total Drama Island," he said. "This week, we prepared a bizarre episode full of surprises." The camera cut to a close up of Chris. "For Instance, take this weather. Rain is not an easy thing to control, let me tell you. But we figured the four remaining campers were gettin' off way too easy. So, we pulled some strings and viola," The camera pulled back again and the host was struck by lighting, causing him to yelp.

The camera flashed to the cabins, where Christian, Nick, and Brenda were sitting on the proches. Christian was reading a book, Brenda was making an arrow from a branch, and Nick was just watching the two. "Listen up campers," Chris said over the loud speakers. "One of the most grueling challenges of any summer camp experience is the dreaded rain day," Where all activities with even the remotest possibility of fun is cancelled in favor of the craft tent. The forecast for tommorow? Rain, rain and more rain followed by, rain! See you all at the craft tent tomorrow, at 0700 hours!"

"Looks like there's only one more left," Nick said, "Then we have an all Bass final 3."

"Great observation," Christian replied sarcastically

"I don't care who gets voted off." Brenda told the boys. "As long as I win."

"You don't care huh?" Nick mocked. "If i was you, i'd better start caring; or else you will turn out like Lamar."

Christian closed his book with a groan. "I need to get away from this lovers quarell, where's Molly?"

Confessional

Molly - I can't believe I made the final Four! As the only Gopher left it's gonna be a hard battle, but I can't give up.

XXXXXX

The camera cut back to the other three 3 as they went to they're rooms for the night. Another camera flash skipped the scene ahead to show various items floating past in a flood. A wooden deck chair, a shed, a family of racoons on a log and strangely enough, a periscope with a squirrel sitting on top of it. The camera panned up to the sky and time-lapsed to the next day after the storm ended,

The camera flashed to Chef's hand ringing a hand bell, then pulled back to show Chris arriving on a red ATV. "Hey Chef," the host asked, "You seen the campers?"

"No," the cook replied. "And I reeled a whole bag of rotten spuds," He said, holding up a bucket of peeled rotten Potatoes.

"Hmm," Chris said as the camera cut to him as he scratched his head. "Come to think of it, I can't even find they're cabins!" The camera zoomed out to show several cinder blocks where the cabins should have been.

The camera flashed to an unknown body of water. A bunk bed of Christian and Nick floated by in front of one of the cabins. The camera cut to the door of the cabin as Brenda stumbled out of it…. Only to fall in the water with a yelp.

The camera cut to Nick at the bottom bunk waking up with a shout and falling in, then panned up to show Christian rolling over into the water with a cry of "What the heck?!"

"What are we doing in the water?" Nick asked after the three campers surfaced.

"Maybe the leeches have a clue," Christian said dryly as he showed his leech covered arm before shaking them off wordeslly.

"This is the kind of thing that would only happen here," Brenda deadpanned. A shark fin swam by her, causing her eyes to widen. It was by Christian and Nick with the same result. All three campers jumped out of the water and ran back to the porch of the cabin.

The scene skipped ahead to the three campers cowering on the cabin porch. The camera cut to the water, where the shark was eating the wooden furniture.

"Oh man." Christian groaned. "I hope Molly made it through this!"

Confessional

Molly - And then we thought that Caleb would go home, yeah i was that naive. Wait, how long have I been here?"

XXXXXX

The static ended with a shot of the outhouse floating through the water as she opened the door. She noticed the sea of water, scrambled and closed the door. "Waay too long," she said in panic from the inside.

A flash took the scene to Brenda's shoes on a beach before cutting to all three of them on a seemingly deserted island with the cabin beached on the shore.

"Well," Christian said with wide eyes. "This is a pretty creepy deserted island,"

"I agree with you," Nick said. "Those sharks were real for sure, so even if this is Chris's doing we have to watch out."

"Or," Brenda interrupted. "We just floated downstream and we needed to wait for the producers to rescue us,"

XXXXXX

Chris - Search party? That's a good one

XXXXXXX

"So i guess that means that craft day is cancelled," The host said to his assistant with a cross look. He shrugged it off and said "Anyway, Let's eat,"

Chef looked at the bucket in his hands with a shocked expression. "You actually wanna eat this slop?" He asked in a surprise.

Chris scoffed. "Yeah right. I mean the buffet back at our camp," He said with a thump pointing behind him.

"Cool," Chef said with a chuckle. He lightly pushed Chris's chest. The host pushed back with a laugh of his own, and Chef narrowed his eyes and pushed back again with enough force to knock the host over.

Confessional

Brenda - Well, I can already tell this will be the worst day here.

Christian - I started seriously considering whether they left us to die or not.

Nick - Eh, it's whatever.

XXXXXXX

"The best thing we can do," Brenda said as the static cut back to the stranded campers, "Is make this place survivable until the rescue team gets here,"

"That might work," Christian said. "If you actually trust Chris to rescue us! We need to find our way back to camp on a raft,"

"Sure," she agreed mockingly. "It's not like we have no idea where we are or where camp is or-"

"We can't stay here" Christian Countered.

"Going out on the water is a stupid idea!" Brenda argued.

"We aren't lost," Nick commented. "This is clearly yet another of Chris's sadistic challenges, I'm not gonna be fooled again" he muttered to himself.

XXXXXX

Confessional

Chris - Or will you?

XXXXXXXX

"You two can keep buying these fairy tales if you want," Nick said. "I'm gonna find a way to win this challenge.

XXXXXX

Confessional

Nick - Now that we're so close to the end, Winning the remaining challenges is the only way to guarantee my safety. Look at last time, Ramona didn't even get voted off and still went home.

XXXXXX

The static cut to him behind some bushes. "That'll do," He smirked. The camera panned out to show an impressive tree house with a porch and ladder to the beach.

XXXXX

Confessional

Molly - Okay, I got swept away from camp last night. So i just need to wait until i hit land and-" Please let that be land!

XXXXXX

The shot cut to outside the confessional as she burst out and ran to the beach. There were various potted palms over.

"I made it! Land!" She screamed. The scene cut to another cluster of bushes..as she separated them..only to scream in terror a moment later. The camera panned out to show a large dinosaur skull, then cut to her running back to the confessional. "Why is this happening to me?"

XXXXXXX

Confessional

Chris - The T-Rex skull was my idea, Did you see the look on her face? That was worth every intern.

XXXXXXXX

The scene cut to Nick on the porch of the tree house. "A surprisingly good view for something set up by Chris," He said to himself. "So the inside must be the catch." He opened the door and a skeleton held up strings fell in the doorway. Nick scrambled in terror and backed away, only to fall over the railing. He backed away from the tree house even more and hit the same skull that Molly ran into earlier and screamed again.

Christian and Brenda ran to the scene to see what was causing their fellow camper to scream. Upon seeing the skull Christian asked Brenda, "So, downstream from camp. Huh?"

She just smiled sheepishly.

The camera flashed to the outhouse. "Okay," Molly said from inside. "You are not gonna sit here and cower. That's what the old you would do. Now go out there and find a way to survive this desert island." She opened the door and the camera shifted to her point of view to show a couple of coconut trees.

"That was easier than I thought," she said to herself.

XXXXXX

"Would someone tell me why there are palm trees and coconuts out here?!" Chef angrily asked in the confessional with the camera zoomed into his face. "We're in Northern Ontario!"

"They were leftover props from the Bigastic Park movie shoot." Chef looked at him. "What," The host said defensively. "We're on a budget."

"So I have no idea where I am," Molly said to herself on the beach. "But I don't think I'm in Canada anymore." She picked up a coconut with spiky leaves. "Hey, this coconut kind of looks like Garry," The camera got a better look to show that the leaves did look like her friend's hairstyle. "Cool."

"Hold on," Nick said as he picked up the skeleton and examined it. "I've seen this exact model before! They sell these at the Party City by my house.

"So that all but confirms this is a challenge set up by Chris," Christian remarked. "I still think we need to get back to the island if we wanna win."

"Like I said," Brenda added. "We just need to wait here for the rescue team."

"For the last time there is no rescue team," Christ countered. "The Producers don't even care if they harm a bunch of teenagers,"

XXXXXXX

Confessional

Chris - Hey! We care….a little.

XXXXXXX

Christian - I wasn't in the mood to listen to Brenda and Nick argue, so I was actually hoping we'd split up.

Brenda - Splitting up may not have been the best idea, but it's too late to have regrets.

XXXXXXXX

"Well how about this," Brenda said in a disturbingly deep voice. "Every. Camper. For. Themselves."

"That's cool with me," Christian shrugged and slid down the ladder. Nick simply walked in to the treehouse. Brenda kept up her determined scowl for a moment before dropping into an uncertain look.

(Fade to Commercial)

The episode returned to Molly in the outhouse, while holding the Garry-onut. "And then," she said to it. "We kissed! I mean, I was acting cool but on the inside I was freaking out! You know i've liked you for a while and–"

An arrow flew through the air and pierced the coconut. "Garry!" She yelled in concern.

The scene cut to Brenda with a bow in her hand. "Where did that thing go? That's what i get for not making enough arrows." She looked to her right and the camera cut to the perspective to show banana trees and pineapple bushes. "But at least i won't starve,"

"The salad is okay…" Brenda said to herself after a camera flash, "But that," she said looking at the giant egg, "Looks actually good," She grabbed the egg and took off, a large bird-like shadow and not all bird-like screech followed her.

The scene flashed to Christan having finished a rather crude wooden raft. "You two finally realized we need to sail back?" He asked without looking away from his task.

The camera zoomed out to show Brenda with fruit and egg in hand and Nick looking somewhat disdainfully. "I just came to see if I could get some of Brenda's food," Nick answered.

"And I was just seeing if you needed any help," Brenda added. "We are in an alliance after all."

"So now that I found a way off the island, you wanna help?" Christian asked. "Well whatever, as far as i'm concerned i already got this challenge in the bag."

A different and more disturbing prehistoric cry sounded over the three campers, causing them to get nervous looks.

"We can't stay in this outhouse forever Garry," Molly said as the camera cut to her inside. "Don't worry, i'll keep you safe," A third different cry was heard, scaring her back into a fetal position.

The shot cut to Chef blowing in a conch shell. "Brunch is served," the cook said to Chris, gesturing to a table of sandwiches, a pineapple, and a bowl of something pink.

"Ah, brunch," The host said. "Such a civilized meal don't ya think. You'e already digested your breakkie but you're not quite ready for lunch." His face lit up when he noticed the "Hollandaise!" He swiped a finger through it and said, "You've outdone yourself Chef," before sticking the finger in his mouth. Chef blew the conch again.

The scene returned to the three campers. "More tricks by Chris," Nick said. "I assume."

Christian's stomach growled and he said "I don't care what it is. I'm not sticking around."

"Do you even know where you're going? Nick yelled.

"No," Christian replied."But I know I'm not staying." He pushed the raft and got on.

"Hey Christian!" Brenda replied. "Take this!" She threw the egg at him and he caught it.

"Thanks!" he yelled back as he rowed off screen.

The camera closed in on Nick and Brenda. "Do you think he's making the right choice?" Nick asked.

"Of course not," Brenda replied. "But this way he can have a last meal before the sharks get him," Nick's eyes widened at this statement.

"Now that I think about it," Molly said to the coconut as the camera flashed to her. "Those bones had to have been uncovered by something. Something I don't wanna meet."

The scene cut back to the host and the cook. Chef in the background playing drums and Chris passing under a limbo bar back and forth "Ah," the host said. "Fun in the great outdoors. Too bad the interns are missing it. We should send them a picture of this. Good times."

Another flash took the scene back to Christian on his raft. "And it's official," he said to himself. "I have no clue what I'm doing. Or where I'm going for that matter." He squinted his eyes. "Is that?" Then he adopted a frustrated face and groaned. "I rowed myself in a big circle! That's the shore!"

The camera shifted to his point of view to see the same section of beach that Molly washed up on, outhouse and all.

The scene skipped ahead to Christian sitting on the beach holding the egg. "Looks like the Island isn't as deserted as i thought."

"Christian?!" Molly's voice called him off screen, grabbing his attention.

"Molly?" he asked.

"You're Alive!" Molly yelled in amazement and relief. She ran up to him and grabbed him in a fierce hug.

"Don't squash my food," he said to her, causing her to look down at the egg. The same screech from the shadow was heard, and the two teens looked up to see a large prehistoric goose creature glaring at him.

"I think it wants its egg back," Molly said with a panicked expression

"I think you're right," Christian agreed with the same expression.

The bird swooped down and grabbed a teen in each talon. The camera cut to them in the ear screaming in fear.

"So," Nick said as the scene cut back to him and Brenda. "What do you think of taking out Christian?"

"Why would we ever do that?" She asked him.

"Think about it," he stated. "Us and Christian have gotten the same people mad at us, which realistically would mean we have no shot against him." The screams of they're fellow campers caught their attention and they looked up and gasped in shock.

The shot cut to the two teens in the claws of the goose monster. They were still screaming, and screamed even louder when the goose dropped them.

Brenda and Nick returned to the focus as Christian and Molly fell in front of them. "That could've gone better," Christian commented.

"It definitely couldn;t have been worse" Molly said as she and Christian stood up. A large pink snake fell on their shoulder and she added, "Or maybe it could," All four teens screamed and ran away.

The camera cut back to Chef and Chris, this time seated on either side of a coffee maker on a stump. "So Chef," Chris started, "How do you think the campers are doing on they're deserted islands?"

"Anything coulda happened to 'em by now," Chef answered with a smile. "Mauled by bears, fell off a cliff, starved to death…"

As Chef listed the possibilities. The camera zoomed in on Chris's thoughtful expression. "Hmmm… maybe I should check the monitios an see what kinda footage we got," Chris thought out loud.

"Chris man," Chef said. "You are one dedicated host," He picked up the host and cradled him in his arms. "You're an inspiration."

"Thanks dude," Chris said back. "It's what I do."

The footage cut back to the reunited campers, now inside the surprisingly well decorated treehouse. On the "Left" side of the room, Brenda sat on the top bunk of a bunk bed while Nick casually leaned against the wall. On the other side, Christian sat cross legged on the top of the other bunk. While Molly and the coconut sat on the bottom.

"So, how did you manage to spend all night in the outhouse?" Nick asked.

"I don't know." Molly replied. "I just started talking about the game and lost track of time."

"But the storm went on for hours," Brenda countered. "How did you not go crazy thinking you were alone like that?"

Molly smiled and said, "I talked to Garry," while holding the coconut.

"You know that's a coconut right?" Christian asked dryly.

"I know," Molly replied quickly.

"Listen," Christian," Said as he leaped down from his seat and the camera focused on him. "We still need to find a way back."

"Oh my god! Does this island even have enough food for the 5 of us?" Molly said, panicking.

"There are only 4 of us," Brenda said boldly as the camera panned to show the two of them.

"I know that," She replied seemingly out of stupor.

"That being said," Nick interrupted, now the focus of the scene. "We should attempt to find some food before we plan our next move."

"There's a coconut tree not far from where I washed up," Molly suggested as the shot re focused to her.

"And the snakes went somewhere else," Brenda added from off screen.

The footage skipped ahead to the four campers surrounded by empty coconut shells, Brenda and Nick on the left with Christian and Molly on the right.

"So you have annoying older siblings as well?" Nick asked Christian.

"Unfortunately," Christian answered with a sigh. "I do."

"I get it," Molly said, "I have an older sister also,"

"Luckily I don't have one," Brenda commented.

"Hey look," Molly said, pointing to something off screen. The camera shifted to show she noticed a plume of smoke in the tree line before cutting back to the campers. "There's someone else here."

"Well, let's go see who it is," Nick suggested.

The footage skipped ahead to show the four campers walking through a group of bushes before coming across Chris and Chef.

"Hey guys," the host said. "It's about time you showed up."

"We made it Garry!" Molly cheered to the coconut she'd been holding. "We're back at camp!"

"Why is she talking to a coconut? Chef whispered to Chris.

"You're both right and wrong, Molly," Chris told her. "This is our production crew's secret location. The campers gasped and the camera panned to show a tent, buffet table, Helicopter in the background, and of all things, a bear eating a sandwich. "Or was a secret until now," He added in annoyance.

It started to Rain and Chris said inside an Rv, "Sorry, he said unapotigely. "I'd invite you in, but there's only room for six. See you at the campfire tonight." He closed the door, leaving the campers to look up in the sky in disbelief.

The footage skipped ahead to the elimination ceremony. The rain had stopped and the camera focused on Chris behind his podium. "Well," he said. "It's been a grueling day campers." Frankly, Chef and I are worn out. I hope you've learned two valuable lessons. First," he held up a finger. "Always make sure your cabins are securely fastened to the ground. And Second," He held up another finger, "The every camper for themselves rule sucks. Four heads are always better than one people."

He held up the plate of marshmallows, though strangely enough, there were four of them.

"You do realize that you had four options for us to vote for right?" Chrsitan asked drly.

"I'm well aware dude," the host answered. "Nick, Brenda," he said, passing out the treats. "Molly and Christian."

Molly's eyes widened. "Did you guys seriously vote off Garry?" She asked.

"That's not Garry!" Brenda pointed out. "And it's not healthy for you to keep it."

"I know it's not him," she said somberly. "But I had no idea if I'd see anyone again. It kept me sane."

"Then you won't mind letting go of it," Chris said as he tried to pull it from her hands, but she kept a firm grip for a moment before finally letting go. Chris threw it behind him and the camera watched the coconut bounce down the dock of shame. "Seriously, you're starting to creep me out," The host said before walking away.

The Four teens looked at each other. "Well," Nick said. "It appears this is where the game really begins. May the best man win," The others silently agreed before walking off.

Author's Note: Not much to say with this being non elimination (rip Garry nut)
