Total Drama: The Original Sequel

Episode 5: This may be a little political

By:BigBadBrad

The episode starts as a flustered looking Chris comes out from behind the camera. He gives a small shiver as he looks to the flashing light in front of him.

"Are you sure you can do this?" Asks a cameraman from off camera.

"Of course I can," Says Chris with a flashy smile, however, it cant hide the bags under his eyes from another sleepless night as he dreams about hunting down who knows, "Why on earth wouldn't I be able to host my show?"

"I don't know Mr. M, you just don't look too good," Shrugs the cameraman.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Asks Chris mixed with offence and anger. His face turns to a light shade of red which reflects his feelings.

"Sorry Chris, I was just trying to tell the truth," Says the camera, "But, umm we'll start filming soon, don't worry dude,"

Chris sighs as he looks to them, "Okay… sure,"

"Filming in… 3… 2… 1… now!" Says the cameraman as he begins to film.

"Last time on Total Drama The Sequel, Maxine and Vernon went on their first… date or something like that, however, the fellow girls of the Warthog Team seem skeptical of him, umm we did a challenge. Shocker, I know, umm we did a race that included an egg and a spoon. The Warthogs finally won for the first time… oops I meant second. Anyways, Luke would end up getting the short side of the stick… or was it straw? Beats me, anyways… Chase got eliminated and everything else was normal, who will go next? Find out on Total Drama Sequel!" Says Chris in a mix of false excitement, exhaustion, and fear.

"Okay we got that," Say the cameraman.

"It's about time," Sulks Chris as the intro starts.

The song starts as camera go through Chris mansion, a pillow, and in Kenneth's bunker which knocks him off of his bed.

Dear mom and dad I'm doing fine

Kim and Bo walk together before Kim is hit in the face by Anthony's soccerball causing Bo to chase him.

You guys are on my mind

Bo chases Anthony who bumps and knocks over Zerine who looks angry at first before putting on a smile

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

Shane relaxes on the beach listening to rock music on his ipod.

I wanna be famous

Shane is interrupted by JJ who does a backflip which lands on Shane's nuts

I wanna live close to the sun

Chase takes a photo of a scantily dressed Diva.

So pack your bags cause I've already won

Bunny takes a photo of Chase taking photos.

Everything is cool, nothing's in my way

Eliza tries to block herself from the filming cameras.

I'll get there one day

Vernon strums a small plastic guitar at Maxine

I wanna be famous

Anthony runs out and falls on top of Vernon causing Maxine to run away.

Nanananananananananananana na

The interns look aside exhaustedly as they watch chaos unfold around them

I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be famous

Aubrey pleads to an ignoring Saraphina in the woods

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

Luke says as he tries to dramatically pose in front of the camera.

The camera transitions to the campfire where all of campers hang out. The campers whistle the last line as Jesslyn and Saraphina lean in to kiss. However, they're interrupted by Romeo who leans in causing the two to flinch and Jesslyn falls off of his stump as he looks up jealously at Romeo. Meanwhile Eliza snoozes on the ground.

The camera starts outside the girls Warthog dorm. Diva, Aubrey, Maxine, Zerine, and Bo surround the locked tan bathroom door in concern. In the background Kim can be heard singing some sort of song however, this confuses and concerns the five waiting outside in fear.

"Wait, how long has she been in there?" Asks Bo as he looks to Zerine.

"About 1 hour," Sighs Zerine as Bo's eyes widen.

"Woah… ok that's not too bad I guess, I mean with the food that they serve here… she's probably sick or something like that," Says a concerned Bo as Aubrey who is behind him gives 3 small knocks on the door.
"Kim… are you alright? If you need help with anything… or yeah anything, we're here for you just believe Kim, believe," Says Aubrey quietly.

"We'll carry on!" Sings Kim through the door loudly. This causes the girls to sigh as they look to each other.

"I mean… can't we call Chris or someone from production? I mean this has to be some sort of emergency… no one just locks themself in a bathroom and sings the same thing over and over and over again!" Says Maxine as she looks to the girls and Bo.

"Mhmm, you said it," Replies Diva with a nod.

"I think I may have an idea?" Bo says somewhat unconfident with himself.

"Well… spill it," Says Diva sassily as Bo leans in and knocks loudly on the door.
"Kim! It's me Bo… and Bo alone! Just open the door, I just wanna see what's up…."Says Bo as Diva motions to him, "Girl," Suddenly Kim opens up the door. The camera pants from her shoes up to her hair. She wears black shoes, her same baggy gray pants with a black tank top. However, she has a small piercing on her ears and her natural black hair has turned to an interesting light medium green color. She gives a small smile to a shocked Bo who's surrounded by her female teammates. She looks down at her Ipod which she disconnects as she looks back to Bo.

"Same Kim, new look," Kim smirks smartly, "Do you like what you see?"

"Perhaps… but hollup, why did you change your look?" Bo says as he snaps back into reality.

"Eh, I guess my old look was a little… bleak to be honest, just like you said…" Says Kim.

"Wait, you what!?" Said Maxine surprised, "Sorry… I should probably leave,"

"Bo…" Says Zerine quietly.

Bo Confessional

"What… did I do? I mean, I really shouldn't have told her that but I was really just trying to be honest I never knew there was any harm in that. I mean… she changed her whole look just for me, honestly, I don't like a girl like that," Sighs Bo as he looks away from the camera.

End Bo Confessional

Shane walks by the dorm on his way to the abandoned area where he plans to launch some small fireworks, and red rockets. However, he does a double take when he sees the crowd gathering in front of Kim. He walks up the stairs of the dorm to come and whats happening.

"What's going on?" Asks Shane as he enters into the porch of the dorm.
"Oh hey Shane," Says Kim casually.

"Woah, hey Kim," Shane says.
"Hey to you too," Says Kim awkwardly.

"Well… umm, I have to use the restroom, so...," Says Zerine as she walks past Kim who shuts the door behind her leaving Zerine in privacy.

"So, what should we do now?" Asks Aubrey mediocrelly.

"Well, I was gonna light a few fireworks and sh** so if you want, I'll be available," Says Shane with a small shrug.

"Yeah, that sounds pretty cool," Says Kim.

"I'm also down for that," Agrees Bo.

"Eh, I don't know right now, just tell me later or something like that," Says Diva.

"Yeah… same," Nods Aubrey.

The camera transitions to the woods where Vernon sits on a hill looking for inspiration, behind him Maxine enters and watches him look down at his paper. Vernon's hair waves in the Flordia wind as he looks behind him, sensing someone. He smiles as he looks up happily at the friendly looking Maxine.

"Oh… hey Maxine, I didn't see you there," Vernon says as he motions for her to take a seat which Maxine does as the both look towards the morning sun.

"So, whatcha doin?" Asks Maxine funnily. Vernon gives out a quick laugh before he hides his notebook behind him.

"Oh… nothing, just writing," Vernon says.

"Yeah! I forgot that you write! Like… did you write that song from yesterday?" Maxine asks.

"Maybe I did… maybe I didn't," Says Vernon mysteriously.

"Oh," Says Maxine as she covers her mouth, "Anyways… what are you doing out here?"

"Yeah, I just… hang out here especially in the mornings, it just seems so crowded everywhere, I just like to get out here to you know… write and unleash my state of mind,"

"Eh, yeah I get that! Personally, I adore crowds but yeah, I mean other people can be different," Says Maxine.

"Yeah… a lot of people just dont get that… for some reason," Sighs Vernon

"Well… umm those people are wrong," Maxine adds with a smile.

"Eh, just like you said earlier, other people can be different," Says Vernon as he stops looking up at the sky and back to Maxine who blushes lightly.

"Yeah… besides you, your just so unique," Nods Maxine.

"Really, you think I'm unique?" Says Vernon with a smile.

"Yeah, you… are," Maxine says as she gazes into Vernon's brown eyes.

"Thanks, I never really… thought of myself like that," Vernon says insecurly.

Vernon Confessional

"I mean… growing up, I never really… like got compliments especially growing in my "family," Vernon says with a sighs, "I mean if you even count them as family, honestly, I want nothing to do with them and they want nothing to do with me," Vernon sighs.

End Vernon Confessional

"How could you not? You look so cute," Maxine says as she leans in to hug him.

"Thanks," Says Vernon as he looks over to Maxine.

"No problem," Says Maxine with a quick kiss. She gets up to leave, she looks back at him and blows him a kiss as she leaves. Vernon is left on his own in the forrest with a flustered smile.

The camera transitions to the McClaine mansion. Chris lays his family photo down on his bed and looks at it patiently, waiting for something to happen.

"Come on, do something," Mutters Chris as he glares down at the photo which remains still. He taps the photo in frustration. His black and blonde hair sways in front of his eyes as he looks down in full concentration. However, his focus is broken when a light turns on.

"Chris! Come on man, you have to announce the challenge!" Says Claire as she walks into the room. She stares at Chris who looks up at her.

"Am I interrupting something?" Asks Claire awkwardly.

"No, nothing at all," Smiles Chris embarrassedly.

Claire looks at Chris' embarrassed red face. Her eyes narrow as she looks down at the photo and back up to Chris who gazes upon her hoping for her to go away.

"Okay, just get ready I guess…." Says Claire as she cautiously turns around to close the door and leave Chris in peace. Chris has a breif sigh of relief before he gets up and slowly lets down the photo. He sighs as the camera turns to the camera transitions to the Dragon girls cabin. Saraphina and Eliza are left as they watch Bunny walk out the room. Saraphina sighs as she looks to a somewhat lively Eliza who does a small yawn.

"So, how's it been with you?" Asks Saraphina as she turns her head to Eliza who shrugs.

"Well, it's been less tiring, I can tell you that… but seriously, I've been doing pretty well overall, I finally got my worth of sleep, and I feel like finally, like… in the groove," Smiles Eliza, "What about you? I know that you've been going through a lot of stress,"

"I've been okay I guess," Shrugs Saraphina, "Honestly, I've been a little tired… I can admit that but you know, I'm honestly, just trying to still exist here, I hope that I got it better than that art nerd on the other team, she seems so… eh," Says Saraphina truthfully.

"Yeah, I get that," Says Eliza as she looks to the window that lays on the wall.

However, a voice from the speaker above them causes them to simply glare up at it. It's Claire controlling it.

"Everyone, come to the cafeteria for your next challenge… however, I must warn you that this might get political," Says Claire before the speaker cuts off, causing the two to look to each other confused.

"Politic?" Repeats Saraphina confused.

"This can't be good," Says Eliza as she gulps.

"You said that," Laughs Eliza as the camera transitions into the cafeteria. Chris wears a formal, yet old brown and beige two piece business suit. His usual shaggy hair is combed over to the side of his head as he wears a bright yet fake smile.

"Welcome campers to your challenge for today, well… we'll probably have to split this into parts, it's gonna get complex… but complex is good, right fellow humans?" Asks Chris safely.

"Uh… so what is this all about?" Kim says confused.

"Yeah, and the get up? You look like a grandpa getting ready to go to Cracker Barrel," Jokes Bo.

"Everyone! Focus! Anyways… first, you'll need to elect two leaders, one for girls, one for boys, that's simple right?" Says Chris as he looks upon the crowd of uninterested teenagers.

"Is there anything special for the leaders? Like do we get benefits?" Asks Diva.
"What about secrets? I'm down for secrets," Says Bunny as she raises her hand.

"Can we do whatever we want?" Asks Anthony.

"OKAY! D*mn, I did not expect like… this many questions at all, just pick out your 2 leaders for your team and just relax!" Snaps Chris angrily. This silences the crowd as many of the others lower their hands, "You may start," Snarls Chris.

The camera focuses on the dragon team, although the girls lightly debate, the boys battle over who should be the representative of their gender.

"Look, Jesslyn you're way too soft to be a leader, I mean if someone breaks the law all you'll do is just give them a stem of broccoli, tell them to keep safe, and let them go!" Yells Romeo as he pressures his hand on the wooden table dividing him from Jesslyn. Vernon sits awkwardly at the head of the table as he watches Romeo and Jesslyn duke it out.

"What on earth are you talking about? I'll be fair, at least fairer than you. If you see anyone who looks like… looks like… her," Jesslyn says as he points to Kim, "You'd probably arrest her for having green hair,"

Romeo shudders as he looks over to KIm, "What! It's unnatural!"

"Well…" Smirks Jesslyn.

"Well?" Says Romeo with a single eyebrow raised.

"Well it looks like I'm going," Says Jesslyn as he crosses his arms cooly.

"No, you aren't, not if I say so," Says Romeo as he stands up, "I'm going for the Dragon guys,"

"Ok," Shrugs Chris as he writes something down.

"You can't just do that!" Explodes Jesslyn as he motions with his hands.

"Well I just did," Says Romeo with a smirk.

Romeo Confessional

"As a guy from the country, I know that the man has to be the leader over all… and let's start admitting it, Jesslyn isn't wearing the pants in his relationships," Says Romeo scandalously.

"Isn't that kinda sexist?" Asks a cammerman.
"No, it's just how I was raised," Shrugs Romeo, "Do you have a problem with that?"

End Romeo Confessional

"Guys, can't you just… agree on something?" Vernon says quietly.

"No! Wait, yes! Wait… I don't know," Says Jesslyn somewhat confused.

"Well Chris agrees that I'm the leader… and thats fine by me," Romeo says fiercely. Jesslyn sighs as Vernon looks upon the two of them mediocrely. The camera rotates to the Dragon girls table where they all seem to be in unison for their votes. JJ points to Bunny as she nodfs.
"Well I guess I got all 4 votes for me so it looks like, I win," Bunny glows.

"Yeah," Yawns Eliza, "Congratulations,"

"Thanks, now we'll have to wait for the guys to make their decision," Says Saraphina with a smirk as she looks over to the feuding boys table, "Hopefully, they'll have a solution by the end of the decade,"

"I know right," Scoffs Bunny, "But, you can't blame them,"

"What… do you mean?" Asks Saraphina suspiciously as she looks to Bunny.

"Um, well… I heard that they… had a rivalry… after Jesslyn stole Romeo's food?" Lies Bunny.

"Oh… ok that's interesting," Says Saraphina with a somewhat blank expression.

Saraphina looks away feeling slight uncomfortably. She rolls her eyes as she looks over to the boys table. She gazed at both of the two guys dreamily as she looks between Romeo and Jesslyn. She sighs loudly before the camera moves to the spider guys table. At the boys table, the representative has been picked already.

"So, Bo what are you going to do?" Asks Anthony as he looks up to Bo who sits proudly.

"I don't know, it depends on what the challenge is," Smiles Bo confidently.

"Well? What if the challenge is that you have to wrestle a wild… coyo, idk a wild crocodile? What are you going to do then?" Asks Shane questionably. Bo frowns disappointedly as he has a slight glare to Shane.

"What did I do?" Says Shane noticing Bo's glare.

"Oh, nothing, you've just been peachy," Smiles Shane sarcastically. Bo takes notice and does a small eye roll.

"I know, but thanks for telling me," Smiles Bo fiercely back.

"Shane, we're voting Bo, thats it man, I mean… he's been raised his whole life by politicians he's practically an expert at anything political," Shrugs Anthony fairly.

"See, Anthony gets it," Bo says as he tilts his head over to Anthony in agreement.

"Well I think that we should vote for who gets leader," Shane says somewhat bossily.

"Okay, who votes for me?" Asks Bo, as he raises his hand along with Anthony, "Hmm looks like I win… again," Shane sighs as he looks away to Kim who talks with her team.

"She's so… goth," Whispers Shane to himself as he wipes his black hair from in front of his eyes. Anthony looks at him and looks at Bo. The camera shifts to the girls warthog table where there is still a debate over who will represent them. Kim, Diva, Maxine, and Aubrey argue as they go back and forth over who's the classiest.

"Look, honestly, out of everyone I think that I'm easily the fairest of them all," Says Kim. Aubrey looks over to her innocently.

"Kim, you know that you aren't," Says Aubrey, "I mean… you restrict, your friend group to you, Bo, and Shane although, you let him in your group just to make fun of him," Says Aubrey.

"Aubrey," Sighs Kim.

"Mhmm, that's the reason that I should be the leader," Says Diva as she compliments herself.

"You wish Diva, you aren't the kindest of us all," Maxine shrugs.

"And you are?" Says Diva back scandalously.

"Well… I try," Shrugs Maxine.

"Mhmmm that's what they all say," Says Kim as she looks to Maxine.

"Look, girls only 1 of us can do that!" Says Aubrey fairly.

"Honestly, I think that that girl should be me," Says Maxine.

The 4 girls scoff, "Look one of us has to go up there," Says Maxine.

"Exactly… we need another opinion," Shrugs Kim as she looks over to Zerine who sits drawing something in her notebook, "Zerine!"

Zerine looks up startled, "Huh?"

"Hey, gurl we need advice on who should represent our team," Says Diva.

"And… since we're all running for it… we were wondering who you think should go up,"Say Aubrey as she looks to Zerine sweetly.

"Me? Hmm, I would probably say…" Says Zerine as she pans through each of the 4 girls, "Hmm maybe… Aubrey?" The girls all look to her who smiles.

"Me? Really, thanks," Aubrey says happily before she looks to Chris, "I'm going!"

"Huh? Oh really, then it looks like we have everyone!" Chris says as he snaps out of a small daze, "All representatives come up to the front," Says Chris as Bo, Aubrey, Romeo, and Bunny all waltz their ways up to the front.

"Bo, Aubrey, you will be the representatives of the warthogs. Romeo, Bunny, you dudes are the representatives of the dragons. Now, here's the challenge, you must get the most cast members to vote for you," Chris smiles.

"Hollup, won't the people on our team just vote for us?" Bo says smuggly.

"Well…. That brings in our twist, please welcome back some contestants of the past," Says Chris as Andrew, Nui, and Milly wonder into the cafeteria.

"OH MY GOODNESS!" Squeals Maxine.

"Yep, that's right, please welcome back Andrew, Nui, and Andrew all from Season 1," Chris says as they take a seat in the back of the cafeteria. The contestants stare at the amazed as they just try to sit.
"What's the big deal? Why is everyone looking at us?" Whispers Nui into Milly's ear.

"I thought you would have gotten this whole… fame thing by now," Whispers Milly back.

"Anyways, they'll be voting amongst the current people," Says Chris, "Now… you guys will have to do 2 things, you must… have a speech and then display a talent," Says Chris.

"Oh, like Napoleon Dynamite?" Questions Maxine.

"Uh... yeah I guess so," Shrugs Chris, "I've never really seen i-"
"Oh," Sighs Maxine.

"Umm okay, anyways… I'll give you dudes like… 3 minutes to create a speech where you must go against another representative," Says Chris as the camera goes to the candidates who all run away from the stage. Romeo and Bunny run to the right as Bo and Aubrey both run to the left, which takes them out the room.

"Ok… so, I'm sorry what's your name," Asks Bo.

"Aubrey," Aubrey answers sweetly.

"Ok, Aubrey so what are we going to do for this whole speech thing, I mean I can kind of improv some speech or something but I don't think… that you live at a regular non policial household, so like.,. What are you gonna do?" Bo asks curiously.

"Me… oh umm well… I'm just gonna have to be kind of truthful… but not like in a rude here's what I think way… more of a hey! This is a serious issue kind of way," Aubrey says with a small smile. Bo gives a small glare.

"Man, you must be new to this politics hing," Says Bo as he clicks his tongue.

"Huh?" Aubrey says confused.

"If you want to be in politics, you basically have to be fake, there's just no other way. Oh yeah and also the bribes, never ignore the bribes, take them and forget the issue, uh- I- well that's beside the point just… try to sound sweet and make empty promises," Says Bo truthfully.

Aubrey rubs her neck as she looks to the side.

Aubrey Confessional

"Eh, this whole… politician kind of thing just isn't for me… look, I know I'm not perfect but… I absolutely suck at lying," Aubrey sighs.

End Aubrey Confessional

The camera transitions to Romeo and Bunny who talk out their talent.

"Ok… so I'll work on my country sh*t and you…" Romeo says as he looks to Bunny.

"I said that I would go through a serenade, damn can't you remember anything?" Asks Bunny.

"Eh, my memory is kinda… interesting," Says Romeo as he motions with his hands.

"Hmm," Says Bunny scandalously, "In that case… I left an idol at… the bush, by the hill in the left center of the forrest,"

"Oh ok," Says Romeo with a shrug.

"Well do you wanna sit back down or…" Bunny says awkwardly.

"Yeah, I'm down for that," Says Romeo as the two sit back down.

Bo and Aubrey both walk through the cafeteria doors, Aubrey sits down in the front of the room shyly as Bo sits next to her confidently. Chris walks on stage as the past contestants in the back of the room.

"Well, our "candidates" have prepared their speeches to help sway you guys, so we must ask you guys to not be bias… or just go with someone for no reason, honestly, I'm not in this so… umm yeah, go ahead. Anyways, there will be 2 different rounds, round one will be Romeo vs Aubrey, and Round two will be Bo vs Bunny. Anyways, as I said it's time for round one, Aubrey vs Romeo and umm our citizens or.. Whoever, don't forget to write down your decided winner for the challenge," Says Chris as Aubrey and Romeo walk up on stage somewhat awkwardly and stilted.

"Okay, I'll start," Says Romeo as he walks in front of Aubrey, "Hola, konnachi wha- what does this say, you know what nevermind if you don't know me I'm Romeo, I'm the definition of a selfmade man, I'm a cow farmer, and I work under the hot sun all the time y'all," Says Romeo as she looks at everyone in the room.

"I am a hard worker, unlike some people that might be among us right now. If you vote me to be… your favorite or something then I will be the best president or… what are we competing for again?" Romeo says as he looks over to Chris.

"Umm votes I guess, there isn't really a… title for it," Shrugs Chris.

"Really? Oh okay, umm but yeah," Shrugs Romeo as he looks at Chris before setting his microphone down at a nearby table.

"Romeo! You have to perform!" Yells Chris annoyed.

"Oh… yeah I do," Says Romeo as he awkwardly has to pick the microphone back up, "Umm so I guess that I'll sing some… Johnny Cash?" Says Romeo say confused, the camera goes to the back of the room where the past contestants sit unimpressed. Andrew whispers something into Nui's ear which causes her to give out a small giggle. He grabs an old bass in the corner of the room which most likely belonged to Lance. He strums it as a large noise comes out which causes him to toss it aside which causes to give Nui a small gasp. He takes out a wooden guitar from out of nowhere.

"An old cowboy went ridin' out one dark and windy day

Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way

When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows, he saw

Plowed through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel

Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath you could feel

A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky

For he saw the riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yipie I oh, yipie I ay, ghost riders in the sky

Their face is gaunt, their eyes were blurred

Their shirts all soaked with sweat

He's ridin' hard to catch that herd but he 'ain't caught 'em yet

'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky

On horses snorting fire as they ride on, hear them cry

As the riders leaned on by him, he heard one call his name

If you want to save your soul from hell a riding on our range

Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride

Tryin' to catch the devil herd across these endless skies

Yipie I oh, yipie I ay,

Ghost riders in the sky

Ghost riders in the sky

Ghost riders in the sky," Sings Romeo as he looks up to a clapping Saraphina who holds Jesslyn's hand. Romeo sheds a single tear as he looks away from the two of them.

"Woah! Go Romeo anyways… it's time for Aubrey to follow up," Says Chris as Aubrey walks on stage silently. She looks around nervously to Bo who smiles and gives a small thumbs up.

"Umm, hi… I'm Aubrey, you may… or may not know me… but, umm my favorite kind of food is ice cream," Says Aubrey awkwardly.

Aubrey Confessional

"Man, I'm pretty… new to this kind of lying, I mean… ice cream? My favorite food is potatoe chips,,, I mean I've lied before but… not for something like this," Says Aubrey

End Aubrey Confessional

"Honestly, I just want to make everyone happy… and I- I'm tired of lying to you, right now I just need this because… I am in so much danger right now, and.. So are you," Says Aubrey as she points to Saraphina, "But… I just want to help lead you all, I want to improve your life… and that's why you should… write my name down," Aubrey sighs as she looks away. She then places the microphone close to her.

"Anyways, here is a poem, I wrote,

For those who continue waiting

Please do not start hating

As others come

And others go

While others continue eliminating

Please do not start rating

For all of those who need a friend

May I personally tell you, this is not the end," Says Aubrey as the crowd claps politely. She looks around flustered before she walks off stage. Chris takes the microphone and gives it a small tap before he looks up.

"Nice…. Well that's our first round of presenters… now it's time for our next… and final round of speechist and leaders. Bo and Bunny will compete for your votes with Romeo and Aubrey, does… is that… understandable?" Chris asks.

"Uh, yeah I think?" Says Maxine quietly.

"Ok then… anyways, Bo… Saraphina let's get this started!" Chris says as the two walk up on stage somewhat awkwardly, "But, this will be… special, you'll be facing each other in a real debate, Bunny, you will take the chair on the right, Bo, take the left chair. Now, one of you will go first, which one of you will that be?" Chris asks curiously.

"That would be me," Saraphina says confidently as she sits down.

"Sure go ahead," Bo responds as he sits down.

"Ok, are both of you settle?" Asks Chris curiously.

"Yeah," Saraphina says as she nods.
"Sure," Bo answers.

"OK… in that case, Bunny go ahead," Chris says as he gestures to Bunny.

"Hey y'all, you may know me, I'm Bunny, and as much as I would absolutely love to be like everyone else and be kind and… all that jazz, but I need to be frank, I'm not perfect, but I'm easily better than any member of the Stevens family," Says Saraphina boldly.

"You just can't talk about my family like that! Anyways… I'm Bo… I just… like to live my own life, okay and you attacking me for something that I don't do, shows that you couldn't possibly be capable of being the leader," Bo responds snappily.

"I'm not attacking you for anything, right now, I'm just saying that I don't think that your track record with the people you hang around is credible for a real politician, not only that but if you mind, I would like to bring up May 6th, 2004," Saraphina smirks as she stares into Bo's eyes.

"Ma- huh? What… how do you know?" Bo says anxiously.

"I like to research things… I do it quite often," Says Saraphina sassily, "But thats beside the point should I bring it up… or would you like to explain with your own words?" Says Saraphina.

Bo sighs, "You know what… I would. On May 6th, I, Bo Stevens was caught stealing a Snickers bar from a supermarket with some friends of mine. I admit, that stealing is wrong and I was wrong but I learned from it. Yet, gossip is wrong and you obviously haven't learned that," Bo says responsibly.

"Anyways…." Says Bunny as she glares at him, "I believe that I can bring order and fairness to each and everyone of you. Something that I bet money on that Bo absolutely couldn't do even if he tried," Says Bunny as she looks from Bo to the sitting crowd.

"And you would do that how?" Asks Bo smartly.

"Easily, I'd go through every problem that you may or may not be going through and I'll use my unbias opinions to access the situation," Bunny answers.

"Hmm, okay. Well, I would be truthful, I would voice my opinions, and I would… umm… well just try to make sure that everything with everyone is going good. Like me or not, I really don't care because whether you like me or you don't I'll work for you," Says Bo as he points into the crowd, "Just think…. Would Bunny do the same for you?"
"Is that all Bo?" Asks Chris from off stage.

"Yes, yes it is," Responds Bo with a small nod.

"Ok, Bunny?" Asks Chris.

"No, I have one more thing to say, I am the choice for you," Says Bunny as she points to the audience. She points from left to right before stoping at Bo, "That's all I have to say,"

"Hmm… okay… well, thanks to the sudden debate thing, you guys luckily don't have to show off… whatever talent you had, but I guess that should be a good thing. Anyways… campers please write down the people that you thought won that round," Chris says as the camera pans to the campers and former contestants writing down names. The camera finally does a small time jump to the results. Chris walks up onto the stage with the results in his hands.

"Well… we have your winner, tomorrow's reward challenge winner is… Romeo for the Dragons, the winner of today's challenge is… Bo, congrats dude. That means that the Dragons must go to the ceremony today, however, one of you will be protected," Chris says as he looks from the general crowd, "Warthogs you may discuss,"

The camera transitions to the Warthogs who huddle in a circle as they discuss who they should save.

"So… I know this may be controversial…" Says Maxine.
"I'm listening," Says Anthony.

"Well… I think that we should save Bunny, I mean… it's pretty obvious that she'll be coming home pretty soon, I think that we can use that as an advantage," Maxine says.

"That make sense," Nods Anthony in agreement.

"No, she was such a… ***hole today, she deserves to go home," Bo says angrily.

"Well… she go soon," Says Diva, "Plus maybe they can take out someone that's actually… like useful, you know,"

"Eh, I guess, however, I don't really approve," Says Bo.

"I know that you were elected, but you aren't our actual leader," Says Shane smartly.

Bo glares at him before rolling his eyes and looking at a nodding Kim. Bo sighs as he opens his mouth, ready to speak, "Fine, Bunny it is,"

The huddle breaks as the campers turn around and look to Chris.

"We picked, Bunny," Mumbles Zerine.

"Huh?" Says a confused Chris as he leans in from a few feet away to hear.

"I-" Zerine says before she's interrupted.

"We pick Bunny!" Yells Kim as she gives the ground a small stomp.

"Ok, goodness, Bunny, it's your lucky day," Says Chris as Bunny claps from her seat.

"Bye…," Says Bunny as she walks across the room.

"And for everyone else… on the dragon team, you must vote within the next 15 minutes… oh yeah, Nui, Milly, Andrew you may leave now," Chris tells the former contestants.

"But we hardly did anything!" Milly says somewhat irritated.

"Your welcome, anyways… Roxy will assist you to your helicopter," Says Chris as he guides Milly, Andrew, and a mixed looking Nui out the door. However, afterwards Nui comes back in and grabs Lance's bass.

"Sorry…" Says Nui as she walks back out the door with Lance's bass.

The teens stare at her blankly as she leaves, they quickly follow behind her as only a few members of the dragons stay in to vote. The camera follows behind Kim and Bo as they walk out together. Bo looks around somewhat nervously as they round the corner to the back of the cafeteria. Kim guides Bo to the wall.

"What did you wanna talk about?" Asks Bo as he looks to Kim confused.

"Look… I know we're friends and all of that jazz but… I was wondering if we could be a little bit more than that," Says Kim.

"You mean…" Bo says wondrous yet confused.

"No, I'm talking about being allies, duh," Says Kim with an eye roll. Bo stands awkwardly.

"Oh, allies? That sounds… interesting,¨ Notes Bo curiously.

¨So… are you down or… what?" Says Kim somewhat impatient.

Bo looks indifferently at Kim, he lets out a small sigh before looking up to her, "I… am down,"

"Nice… well… I also wanted to congratulate you with your debate… you seemed really, natural out there, I mean… if it was me, I easily would have absolutely smacked that Bunny girl or whatever or so called name is, but… you got guts to refrain yourself from her," Smiles Kim.

"Oh… thanks, also I… like your new look and I apologize for being… kind of a jerk about how you use to look… you look fine with anything," Says Bo as he gives out a fake smile.

"Really, you mean that?" Asks Kim sincerely.

"Do I have to get your vote again?" Rebuttals Bo smartly.

"No, you won in my book," Says Kim somewhat shedding her sarcastic and snobby snobby tone for a sweet and sincere tone.

"Thanks but… I think we should get back, it looks like the ceremony is about to start," Says Bo as he looks around the corner onto the side of the cafeteria where members of the Dragon team drag themselves to their possible fate. Kim sighs as she looks back to the cafeteria.

"I guess it is time…" Sighs Kim as she begins to walk towards the entrance of the cafeteria where voting has ended. Bo follows behind with a frown as he feels guilty. The two walk into the cafeteria, Kim shows an unnatural amount of glee while Bo shows a somewhat unnatural amount of worry. They take their seats with the rest of their team and Bunny. The camera shows as the Dragons sit together in the front.

"Welcome back to the elimination ceremony, dragons. As always well… besides that one time 1 of you will be leaving today. However, I must confess that they won't be Bunny, Saraphina, Jesslyn, or Romeo," Says Chris as an unenthusiastic Drew tosses bracelets their way.

"Also safe is Vernon," Admits Chris as the camera shows Vernon receive a bracelet.

"That leaves Eliza or JJ. Both of you didn't show any problems throughout today's challenge but both of you have your own issues in general. Let me explain, Eliza, your sleep addiction has definitely not helped your team at all well… until recently. JJ, your muteness has really distanced you from your team. Although it isn't exactly your fault, it makes it seem to your teammates that you're not there… the final bracelet of the night goes to…

Eliza, JJ it's time for you to go back home…. Or to the rodeo or circus," Says Chris before he looks off camera, "Wait.. we can't make a joke about that anymore? Really? Oh… ok," Chris says before he looks up at JJ who frowns as she gets up and drags herself out to the boat, the emotionally mediocre follow behind her not sure what to do. However, after she walks out the door and is near the boat when Bunny comes out.

"Wait! JJ hold up, I was wondering… what's your phone number?" Asks Bunny as JJ looks at her somewhat indifferent. JJ sighs before she hands the frantic Bunny a slip of paper.

"Thanks… I'll try to stay in touch!" Says Bunny enthusiastically as she puts the paper in her pocket. JJ looks away to the ocean before looking around and sporting a friendly smile as she waved off the fellow campers. The campers watch her leave somberly as the night begins to take its toll over the day. The orange and deep red sky lights over the ocean like a sweet dream.

Another Episode, another elimination. Today unfortunately, JJ was the person who had to go home. Honestly, I like JJ but, as Chris said earlier, it was very difficult for me to write JJ, with her being mute. I felt bad because it seemed like when the female members of the Dragon team were conversating, it always felt off for me not to include JJ in these conversations and that really damaged her involvement. However, I am very thankful for Golem submitting her.
