Total Drama Ecstasy

Right...it looks like it's time for the second camper to get voted off. Can you guess who's it going to be? C'mon, I won't judge...though admittedly some campers are more likely to get voted off than others.

Chapter 6: Giddy Up

"Welcome back to Total Drama, everyone. Before we cut to our traditional commercial break, I made the campers participate in a wild west challenge. You know, since there are so many movies taking place in the wild west and all that...not like they're bad movies mind you." noted Dawn.

"I love wild west movies!" exclaimed Geoff.

"I bet you do." nodded Dawn. "Now, where were we? Ah yes...right now the campers are currently participating in a shooting game...and no, I'm not making them shoot each other. That would be really cruel. I'm not Chris Maclean, and quite frankly I never will be."

"Of course not!" bellowed the funniest guy around.

"Since it'd be a bit difficult to make a twenty-two minute episode with a very simple challenge, this challenge is going to be part of a series...I believe I already explained that...but not everyone in the audience may know that yet." noted Dawn.

"What else did you have in mind?" inquired Geoff.

"Well, they're going to be catching criminals...I bet Roger would enjoy that." noted the moonchild.

"Roger?" asked the teenage boy.

"Yeah...he's actually doing pretty well in the shooting challenge so far...I don't think he's going to get voted off tonight." acknowledged Dawn.

"I bet not!" exclaimed Geoff.

"Then again, you never know. Awards ceremonies can be rather unpredictable like that." noted the moonchild.

"Yeah..." agreed the teenage boy.

"I was rather surprised at my elimination..." acknowledged Dawn.

"Blame Scott...he's a terrible person, right?" inquired Geoff.

"He sure is...he couldn't eliminate me last season, I can tell you that." noted the moonchild.

"Of course he couldn't! You were the winner!" exclaimed the teenage boy.

"Yes, I was." nodded the teenage girl.

"So, should we go check on the campers now?" asked Geoff.

"Yes." answered the hostess.

At the shooting range...

"Huh. I'm actually doing pretty good at this." noted Roger.

"You sure are."nodded Louis.

Of course, Artemis was doing pretty decent as well.

"I wish I could shoot the maidens..." complained the preteen girl.

Suddenly, she accidentally shot one of the maidens.

"Well, speak of our lord and savior." said Artemis.

Unfortunately, this caused her team to lose a point.

"Be more careful this time." warned Patrick.

"Yeah...I will." nodded the redhaired girl.

Confessional: Artemis, you fiend!

Artemis: At least it was pretty funny...*she giggles*

Patrick: That poor maiden. She wanted to be saved but instead all she got was a bullet wound to the head...

Roger: Can't shoot the maidens now. I can only shoot the criminals...then again, I'm not going to shoot someone if they're only armed with their mouth and fists...that would be police brutality.

Unfortunately for Team Oscar, Susan wasn't being very helpful. Once again, she was taking a snooze.

"Zzz...ride like the wind, Bullseye..." murmured the teenage girl.

"This doesn't bode well for us, does it?" inquired Rachel.

"No...it does not." agreed Aqua.

Suddenly, Dennis shot one of the maidens.

"Dennis!" bellowed Jack.

"What? She called me fat..." said the teenage boy.

Jack let out a sigh. Since when did they talk?

Fortunately, Quinta appeared to be a fairly decent shot.

"Why can't I be that good?" pouted Norman.

"I was under the impression that I was going to be the worst shot here..." said the teenage girl.

As it turned out, that wasn't the case this time.

Nonetheless, it appeared that they were falling behind everyone else.

They were going to need to shoot faster.

Of course, if they shot one of the maidens, it would only make things worse, so they shouldn't shoot too fast.

Confessional: Bullseye!

Dennis: I shoot the criminals and avoid shooting the maidens...right?

Norman: Those maidens are so beautiful...maybe one of them could be my valentine...oh wait, that's right. They're cardboard.

Quinta: I wish I were a better s-oh wait, I'm actually good at this. I actually don't feel envious today.

Jack: Oddly enough I happen to be a bit of a criminal myself...they still appear to be bigger outlaws than me considering that we're actually shooting at them though.

"Alright, it's time for me to speed things up a bit." said Dawn.

Immediately, she began to speed up the targets.

"This is getting harder..." noted Cindy.

"Yeah...that's kind of the idea." answered the moonchild.

B nodded in agreement.

Unfortunately, this made Morgan end up shooting one of the maidens.

"Darn it! Now Team Stardom's ahead of us!" exclaimed the blonde.

"At least we're still ahead of Team Oscar..." noted Cindy.

"Well, that's true..." nodded Morgan.

At that very moment, Team Oscar actually managed to pull ahead of them.

"Never mind." said the rock star.

Lucca began to whine.

"At this rate we're going to have to vote someone off..." said Cynthia.

"Like...you?" asked Artemis.

"Very funny." spoke the teenage girl.

Fortunately, Vincent happened to have rather decent skill with a firearm, and he managed to pull them through.

Once again, he was not one to talk, even when they showered him with gratitude.

Apparently, he wasn't much of a talker.

"Why doesn't he want to have a chat with us?" questioned Patrick.

"Maybe he's a bit like Cynthia?" asked Artemis.

"Hmph." murmured Vincent.

Confessional: Does Vincent's lack of speech creep you out? That's kind of the idea...

B: I will admit that I didn't talk much during the times I participated on the show...but Vincent's silence still unsettles me...again, I'm starting to know how Dawn feels.

Vincent: *he looks satisfied*

Patrick: I wish I were that good with a firearm.

Artemis: I'm going to blow their heads off! They'll never see it coming! Hehhehhehheh! The criminals I mean, not my teammates. *she rubs her hand behind her head*

Marvin frantically shot one of the maidens, causing them to lose points.

"Marvin!" bellowed Kairi.

"Sorry!" apologized the teenage boy.

"What was that for?" asked Olivia.

"She was freaking me out!" bellowed the gynophobe.

Olivia sighed. This challenge was proving to be rather difficult for him, it seemed. He didn't realize that he was supposed to shoot the boys rather than the girls.

At that very moment, Dawn decided to introduce a new game element.

"It's time for a new cutout..." said the teenage girl.

Immediately, what appeared to be the leader of the criminals appeared.

"If you shoot the leader of these hooligans, you'll get a lot of points. So keep an eye out if you see him. That's just for display though, so don't try shooting it. I'll get rid of it shortly." said Dawn.

"That explains why it isn't moving around..." noted Neila.

Dawn pressed a button, and the criminal leader cutout disappeared.

"Carry on now." said the moonchild.

"This challenge is awesome!" exclaimed Geoff.

"Glad to see you enjoy it." spoke Dawn.

"Do I ever!" bellowed the teenage boy.

"I wonder if your girlfriend is going to be the guest star next." said the moonchild.

"Could be." answered the funniest guy around.

Confessional: The author is enjoying this challenge too, just for the record. He is the one writing it after all.

Geoff: Yeah! Look at the campers go!

Neila: It's nice that Geoff is giving us all support.

Roger: I feel like an actual cop now.

Olivia: That poor maiden...why did Marvin have to shoot her? She had so much left to live for...and then he ruined everything.

Rachel shot the criminal leader, scoring points for their team and moving them up to second place.

"Yes!" cheered the teenage girl.

Team Hollywood frowned. Now they were at risk at losing the challenge again.

Then again, there were still more challenges before the big challenge actually ended.

"Way to go, Rachel!" exclaimed Aqua.

"Thank you." answered the attractive teenage girl.

"Darn it! Why couldn't I have pulled that off? I thought I was perfect." said Norman.

"Apparently, you were not." retorted Jack.

Norman pouted.

Hopefully they would be able to keep their score and pull ahead of Team Hollywood. That way, they wouldn't end up losing again.

And since they already had seven members and the other teams had eight, it wouldn't do them any favors if they did.

They began to look for another mob boss, hoping that this would help them earn first place.

Granted, Team Stardom seemed to be ahead of them at the moment, but they might be able to change that.

It depended on how many targets they were able to shoot...and of course which targets they shot at.

Confessional: Keep shooting!

Norman: I should have been able to shoot that boss...but I didn't! *pouts*

Rachel: Not too bad! I don't think I'm going to be voted off tonight.

Quinta: I wish I could have pulled off a shot like that...everyone did say I was a fairly decent shot too though.

Susan: *snores*

"Now it's time to introduce yet another cutout...you'd better watch out for this one." said Dawn.

Immediately, a white skull and crossbone cutout appeared.

"You better not shoot this! Otherwise you'll get kicked out of this part of the challenge...I don't think your team wants that, do you not?" asked Dawn.

Everyone shook their head.

"Right...whatever you do, do not shoot it. Understood?" inquired the hostess.

Everyone nodded.

Unfortunately, Dennis ended up shooting it by mistake.

"D'oh!" exclaimed the teenage boy.

"Sorry, Dennis. But it looks like you're out of the challenge for the time being." said Dawn.

Dennis groaned. His gun had ceased to function entirely.

"I'm going to go eat some food at the craft services tent..." alerted the teenage boy.

Immediately, he began to walk his way there.

"We'll pick you up when it's time for the next challenge." explained the teenage girl.

Team Oscar all groaned. Things weren't going to be so easy now that one of them was gone.

Hopefully they could avoid hitting the skull next time.

"Darn it!" bellowed Jack.

"I know..." nodded Rachel.

Confessional: Don't hit the skull.

Dennis: *he is eating a hamburger* Maybe I should be more observant...

Norman: If I hit that skull, I would die of embarrassment!

Rachel: There's only six of us in this challenge now...can we make it?

Cameron: I feel sorry for Dennis.

Knowing that that they would lose members of their team if they ended up shooting the skull, Team Stardom decided that they needed to shoot slower.

However, this did put them at risk at another team pulling ahead.

Still, they really didn't want to shoot that skull.

"Don't shoot the skulls, OK? Avoid them at all costs." warned Neila.

Unfortunately, Louis shot one of the skulls a few seconds after she had said that.

He let out a sigh.

"I'll see you later." said the teenage boy.

Immediately, he went towards the craft services tent, causing Neila to frown.

"I was hoping that he would last a bit longer..." noted the teenage girl.

"Do you like him?" asked Olivia.

Neila began to blush.

"Maybe I do...why do you ask?" inquired the intern.

"No reason." answered the girl with a metal leg.

Immediately, she began to giggle.

Neila rolled her eyes.

"I'm actually reading about cowboys at the moment...it's very interesting." said Wendy.

"Are you now?" inquired the former intern.

"Yes, I am." nodded the bookworm.

"I imagine it would be." said Neila.

"Most of the books I read are interesting..." acknowledged the teenage girl.

"I bet they are." nodded the former intern.

Confessional: Books are power!

Wendy: Let's see what this book has to say...hmm...interesting.

Neila: I wonder who wrote that book...

Louis: Well, that part of the challenge was fun while it lasted.

Olivia: I know what guy I want to be with...

Unfortunately, Bruce had not paid attention (as he was enjoying the challenge a bit too much) shot one of the skulls.

"Oh, c'mon!" exclaimed the bully.

Immediately, his gun deactivated. It looked as if he was out of the challenge for the time being. At least he would be able to come back during the next part.

"And that's why you don't shoot the skulls." said Cindy.

His arms crossed, Bruce headed towards the craft service tent where Louis and Dennis already were.

"Stupid skull..." murmured the bully.

"These skulls are really cool..." noted Artemis.

Curious, she noticed that Lucca appeared to be gnawing on one of the cardboard cutouts.

"Um, that actually isn't made of bone..." spoke the redheaded girl.

"But it tastes like bone!" exclaimed Lucca.

"Um..." murmured Artemis.

"Keep shooting!" ordered Patrick.

"Are we going to shoot wolves?" asked the wolf girl nervously.

"No, we're just shooting thugs." answered the jock.

Lucca let out a sigh of relief.

"Maybe I should have a talk with Bruce...I'm sure that he'll want to make an alliance with me about now..." noted Morgan.

Immediately, he went to the craft services tent.

"Can i help you?" asked Bruce.

"How would you like to make an alliance?" inquired the blonde.

"How come?" questioned the bully.

"Well, you've doing a fair share of favors for me lately...so I figured it would be a good idea." noted Morgan.

"Fine...you can hold someone's arms while I punch them in the face..." said Bruce.

"Um, sure. Something...like that." answered the manipulator.

"Then it's a deal." nodded the bully.

Confessional: What a dastardly duo!

Bruce: I don't think I need an alliance...but, well...

Morgan: There! Now I have muscle to go with my brains.

Heather: Morgan's using the same strategy I used during the first season. What a coincidence...I never want to work with Duncan though.

Duncan: Bruce is working with Morgan? I was under the impression that he was a lone wolf.

Lucca: Did someone say wolf? Where?

"Well, guess what? The first part of the challenge is over. Now for the second part." noted the moonchild.

Immediately, she pulled out a whistle to summon the campers at the craft services tent. They showed up a few minutes later.

"You appear to be dressed in a cowgirl's outfit now." questioned Forrest.

"Well, if Chris and Blaineley can dress up during challenges, why can't I?" asked Dawn.

"You make a good point." agreed Kairi.

"I wish I had an outfit like that..." said Quinta.

"Well, maybe if your team places first, I can get something like that for you." spoke the moonchild.

"Really?" asked the teenage girl.

"Of course we're going to place first!" exclaimed Norman.

"What makes you sure?" asked Cynthia.

Norman frowned.

"Right then...for the second part of the challenge, you're going to be catching criminals." said Dawn.

"Didn't we already do that during the first part of the challenge?" inquired Roger.

"Oh, that...well, you're not going to be shooting them this time. You're going to be pointing them out among a crowd." spoke the moonchild.

"That makes sense." nodded Cindy.

"But before we do that, let's go see how you all are doing so far, shall we?" asked Dawn.

Immediately, a scoreboard appeared detailing how well the teams were doing. Team Stardom's score number was in blue, Team Hollywood's score number was in red, and Team Oscar's score number was in green.

"How fitting." thought Morgan.

"Team Hollywood, congratulations! You're in first place!" exclaimed Dawn.

Team Hollywood began to cheer.

"Team Oscar, you're in second place." said the moonchild.

Team Oscar shrugged.

"As for Team Stardom...you need to pick up the pace. Otherwise you're going to be voting off someone tonight." warned the hostess.

Team Stardom frowned. Dawn was right, they really did need to pick up the pace. They weren't looking forward to being a team of seven rather than a team of eight.

"Right...let's see how keen your eyes are rather than your fingers this time." said the moonchild.

Immediately, a few cutouts of what appeared to be criminals appeared. They weren't identical at all.

"I need you to find the one that's dressed in green." said Dawn.

"He's over there!" exclaimed Roger.

"Very good, Roger. That should help your team get back up again." spoke the hostess.

Confessional: Roger is his team's hero.

Wendy: I was a bit reluctant to have a twelve-year-old on my team at first...but Roger's really useful for us.

Roger: I'm really good at this challenge! Then again I'm not a cowboy and I probably never will. Ah well.

Olivia: I feel like a Texas Ranger now...

Cindy: Oddly enough I happen to be a Toy Story fan...should I start playing Woody's Roundup?

More cutouts appeared, and this time Dawn wanted to select the one that was red.

Unfortunately, Dennis picked out a blue criminal.

"Sorry, that's not right." said Dawn.

"D'oh!" exclaimed the teenage boy.

Naturally, this caused his team to lose points.

Once again, Susan wasn't being helpful towards her team, and she was sleeping on the job.

Rachel sighed. Something told her that this challenge wasn't going to end well.

Jack was trying to wake up Susan, but it appeared that she was a heavy sleeper.

"C'mon, c'mon!" bellowed the thief.

Curious, he wondered if he should try stealing her belonging to teach her a lesson again.

Unfortunately, her pockets happened to be empty this time.

"Darn it!" exclaimed Jack.

It looked like he was going to have to try loot someone else.

Artemis successfully picked out the right criminal.

"Very good, Artemis." said Dawn.

"Red's my favorite color!" bellowed the preteen girl.

"That explains how you dress." noted Cynthia.

"I've worn this dress for ages." answered Artemis.

"It makes you look ugly..." murmured the teenage girl.

"What?!" exclaimed the redhead.

"Be nice to Artemis." warned Dawn.

"Fine..." answered Cynthia.

Confessional: Treat others the way you want to be treated...if you don't want to get voted off.

Cynthia: *sighs* I'm starting to hate this challenge.

Artemis: Maybe I should pour holy water on Cynthia to see if it burns...then again, it might burn me too.

Patrick: What does Cynthia have against Artemis?

Cindy: Oddly enough Cynthia's name happens to start with the same letter as mine...meh, I guess it's just a coincidence.

This time, Dawn wanted them to pick out a criminal that was wearing a top hat.

"A top hat?" questioned Louis.

Unfortunately, Dennis picked out the wrong criminal again.

"Sorry, you need to pay more attention." suggested Dawn.

"Awww!" complained the teenage boy.

"I'm starting to wonder if we should have him point out the criminals..." noted Aqua.

"I know..." agreed Rachel. He just couldn't seem to tell them apart.

Once again, Roger was there to help his team. He immediately selected the criminal.

"This reminds me of a police lineup." noted the police officer's son.

"Have you ever gone to see a police lineup?" asked Forrest.

"Only once or twice. My father takes me to visit the police station sometimes." noted Roger.

"Interesting." answered the mechanic.

"Do you get any souvenirs?" asked Kairi.

"My father says that I shouldn't play with police equipment...so not really, no." answered the preteen girl.

"Fair enough." nodded Forrest. He wouldn't want Roger to accidentally spray himself with pepper spray.

Confessional: Roger's father has a pretty good point.

Roger: I might accidentally handcuff myself to someone, anyway...though I don't think I would mind being handcuffed to Artemis too much.

Forrest: I wonder what it would be like if my father was a police officer.

Kairi: So, Roger's father brings people to justice? That's what ninja always seem to do nowadays...though not all ninja are good.

Aqua: Dennis is terrible at this...I must admit.

Once again, Dawn wanted them to pick out a criminal. However, this time the instructions were a bit different.

"This time I want you to pick out the criminal that isn't dressed in red." said the moonchild.

"The criminal that isn't dressed in red..." thought Louis.

Sure enough, most of the cutouts appeared to be dressed in red. They were going to have to find the odd one out this time.

Once again, Susan was being as unhelpful as ever.

"Zzz..." murmured the teenage girl.

When was she ever going to wake up?

"It's that one!" exclaimed Norman.

Sure enough, he had selected the criminal dressed in yellow.

"Alright then...good job, Norman." congratulated Dawn.

Norman began to flex his muscles.

Sure enough, Quinta began to squeal.

"I wish I had those muscles..." complained Jack.

"That sounds like something that I would say..." noted the envious girl.

"Um..." murmured the thief.

Was he going to have to get his own catchphrase?

"Hmm..." thought Jack.

Confessional: What should Jack's catchphrase possibly be?

Quinta: I wish I had a better catchphrase than this...

Jack: Hmm...should it be "I'll be taking that, see?" Oh wait, I think there's someone who already has that catchphrase.

Rachel: My catchphrase is "I'm too sexy for my own good".

Norman: I don't need a catchphrase! I'm just that awesome!

"Well, I bet you're probably finding this part of the challenge to be rather easy so far...so let's make things a bit more difficult. This time the instructions are going to be a bit more complicated." explained Dawn.

"You're right. This has been rather easy so far." noted Olivia.

"It hasn't been for me!" pouted Dennis.

"Yeah, it really hasn't." agreed Aqua.

"This time, you need to find a criminal wearing a top hat...and a monocle." ordered the hostess.

Some of the criminals were wearing top hats, while others were wearing monocles. But which one was wearing a top hat and was wearing a monocle?

"Hmm..." thought Wendy.

They were going to need to take a quick look.

Curious, Team Stardom wondered if they should try using the Mike Idol.

However, they noticed by the scoreboard that they seemed to be very doing very well in the challenge, so they decided that it wouldn't be necessary.

Nonetheless, they wondered if they should keep ahold of it for later. It could help them...or it could hurt them. Either way it sounded like it would be a fun idol to use.

Still, they should proceed with caution...and while they're at it they probably shouldn't show it to the other team.

Confessional: Use the Mike Idol with caution.

Mike: It was nice of Dawn to sculpt an idol after me.

Wendy: *she is looking at the Mike Idol* I wish I had a boyfriend like him.

Olivia: I hope that the Mike Idol doesn't get one of us voted off...that would be a pity, now wouldn't it?

Marvin: Thank goodness we didn't get an idol sculpted after one of the female interns...*shudder*

Once again, the challenge got a bit more complicated.

"This time I need you to pick out the cutout that is the smallest..." said Dawn.

Unfortunately, Dennis picked out the cutout that was the biggest.

"Once again, that wasn't right." spoke the moonchild.

Team Stardom began to roll their eyes. Dennis was costing his team the challenge.

Then again, at least he was actually helping...unlike Susan.

This time, Team Hollywood picked out the correct cutout.

"Very good...I think it's for the last part of the challenge now." said Dawn.

"Alright!" cheered Lucca.

Team Stardom, Team Oscar, and Team Hollywood were in the same positions, though their scores were all higher than before.

"Let's see now...what was the last part of the challenge again? Ah yes!" exclaimed the moonchild.

"What is it?" asked Roger.

"For the last part of the challenge...well, it's going to be like a game of laser tag." spoke Dawn.

"A game of laser tag? Sweet! I love lasers!" exclaimed Artemis.

"Meet me at that saloon over there." commanded the moonchild.

The twenty-three campers, and they began to head towards the saloon.

"Good to make it here...once again, you're going to be shooting. Not with real guns, of course...I don't want to clean up the blood that will result." said Dawn.

"Heh heh, yeah." nodded Louis.

"First of all, put on these vests for me, will you?" asked the moonchild.

Immediately, the twenty-three campers put on their vests. Sure enough, they resembled that of a cowboy's...or a cowgirl's.

"I take it we're going to be using these to register hits?" inquired Wendy curiously.

"Yes, we are." nodded Dawn.

"Alright then." understood Neila.

"Of course, you'll probably want your guns now..." noted the hostess.

"Yeah, we do." stated Marvin.

Immediately, Dawn handed the twenty-three campers their guns.

"Have fun! And try not to end up at the awards ceremony tonight." said the moonchild.

"We will." nodded Patrick.

Confessional: Run or shoot? Do both!

Marvin: These are friendly fire-proof, right? I don't want to end up shooting my teammates by accident.

Roger: I think I know how to use one of these...I just pull the trigger, right?

Bruce: We're playing laser tag wild west style? Sweet!

Cindy: We shoot, we score? Right? See what I did there?

Immediately, the campers got ready to battle.

"This challenge is going to be fun..." murmured Bruce.

"It will be...if we win." noted Morgan.

"What if we score second place?" asked Artemis.

"Well, that wouldn't be too bad either, I suppose." acknowledged the blonde.

Sure enough, the guns were activated.

"Run for cover!" warned Forrest.

Immediately, the campers began to hide so that they could ambush the other campers.

Sure enough, they were already getting shot.

Unfortunately, Susan was a sitting duck, as she was sleeping at the moment. She was getting shot several different times.

"If she were on the battlefield, she would be dead by now." noted Morgan.

"She sure would!" exclaimed Bruce.

Fortunately, she wasn't actually on the battlefield.

Likewise, Dennis was somewhat vulnerable as well, though not as vulnerable as Susan herself.

Why you may ask? He wasn't a fast runner...not only that, but his obesity made him a big target.

Sure enough, the other teams were beginning to shoot him too.

"Aaugh! Make it stop!" bellowed Dennis.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find a good spot to cover himself since he was so big.

Suddenly, Bruce got shot in the arm.

"Darn it!" bellowed the bully.

"Yeah...maybe we shouldn't just stand here and have a conversation." noted Morgan.

Immediately, Bruce and Morgan behind to hide underneath a table.

Confessional: This is a wild game of laser tag...heh heh.

Susan: Zzz...what a fight at the saloon...zzz...

Dennis: My body wasn't made for running...it was made for eating!

Bruce: Laser tag is actually pretty fun...I get to shoot nerds and watch them cry.

Morgan: Let's see now...what strategy should we use? There are a lot of possiblities here.

Artemis was absolutely ecstatic about the last part of the challenge.

"Hehhehhehheh! Take this!" bellowed the preteen girl.

Unfortunately for Team Stardom and Team Oscar, Artemis's small size made her very hard to hit. Not only that, but she was a pretty good shot too.

"Darn it! I can't hit her!" bellowed Norman.

This was really frustrating him.

At that very moment, Artemis shot him in the chest.

"Ohhhh!" pouted the teenage boy.

"In your face!" exclaimed the preteen girl.

At that very moment, she was shot by Roger.

"D'oh!" bellowed Artemis.

"Nice shooting there." complimented Roger.

"Thanks." answered the preteen girl.

Of course, Roger was doing very well in the challenge too, for similar reasons.

Immediately, Artemis shot Marvin in the leg.

"Aaugh! Girls are terrifying!" bellowed Marvin.

"They sure are! Hehhehhehheh!" laughed Artemis.

"Why do you always laugh like that?" asked Roger curiously.

"Because I'm evil!" exclaimed the preteen girl.

"OK..." murmured the preteen boy.

Immediately, Artemis shot Quinta in the face.

"Agh!" bellowed the teenage girl.

"Bullseye!" exclaimed the preteen girl.

"I'm starting to wonder if she's enjoying this challenge too much for her own good." thought Roger.

Hopefully she would get out of this challenge with her sanity intact...

...right?

Confessional: Artemis loves being evil.

Artemis: Hehhehhehheh! I cannot be stopped!

Roger: What's this about being evil?

Norman: I may be perfect in every way...but I can't compete with Artemis in a shootout for the life of me.

Quinta: I wish I could be that good during this challenge.

Eventually, the challenge was over, and it was time to see who won the challenge.

"Right...let's see how you did." spoke the moonchild.

Immediately, the scores were tallied up.

"Alright...in first place is...Team Stardom! Congratulations! You've won your first challenge!" exclaimed the hostess.

Olivia raised her arms in the air, Marvin had a big grin on his face, Neila rubbed her hand behind her head, Louis gave the thumbs up, Roger's hat fell off his head due to his surprise, Wendy closed the book she was reading and cheered, Kairi raised her katana in the air, and Forrest flipped around his wrench.

All in a day's work.

"Team Hollywood...you're in second place! You may not have won this time, but at least you didn't lose." noted Dawn.

Artemis began to plot an evil scheme, Bruce shrugged, Morgan rubbed his chin, Lucca ate some chicken, Patrick stretched out his arms, Cindy played a few notes on her guitar, Cynthia rolled her eyes, and Vincent simply stared off in the distance.

"As for Team Oscar...sorry, but you've lost again. You're going to have to attend the second awards ceremony." apologized Dawn.

Rachel let out a sigh, Aqua frowned, Dennis fell over, Norman's mirror shattered, Quinta hugged Norman tightly, Jack dropped his loot bag, and Susan began having a nightmare.

"Ezekiel will see you at the awards ceremony, as before." spoke the hostess.

Confessional: Things just aren't looking good for Team Oscar, now are they?

Dennis: Darn! We lost again! I vote for Susan.

Rachel: I'm starting to wonder if we're going to get wiped out before the merge...that was what happened to Team Victory, after all. I'm voting for Dennis.

Quinta: *she has a frown on her face* Susan, I'm voting for you.

Norman: How could we lose twice in a row? I thought we were perfect! Dennis, you're gone!

At the awards ceremony...

"Back for another awards ceremony, eh? To be honest, I can see that there are more likely contenders for a sacrifice than others..." noted Ezekiel.

"A sacrifice?" asked Quinta.

"You're voting off another camper, aren't you?" asked the farm boy.

"Oh...that makes sense." nodded the envious girl.

"I'll try to make things quick this time, since you already know the rules." said Ezekiel.

"Alright." agreed Norman.

This time, Ezekiel had six bags of popcorn.

"Well, Quinta, since you were so valuable to your team, you get the first bag of popcorn eh." spoke the farm boy.

"Yes!" cheered the teenage girl.

"Rachel, you get the second bag of popcorn eh." continued Ezekiel.

"Thanks." answered the teenage girl.

"Next up is...Norman."

"Aqua, you're next."

"Jack, you're still here eh."

This time, Dennis and Susan were left without a bag of popcorn.

"Right...both of you didn't do too well during the challenge, so you both received votes eh. However, the one staying tonight is..."

"Dennis."

Dennis happily devoured his bag of popcorn while Susan woke up with a start.

"Sorry, Susan, but you shouldn't have slept through that challenge. Your teammates were counting on you...and you let them down eh." acknowledged Ezekiel.

"I'm sorry...I won't do that again." noted Susan.

"Well, you won't be able to do it whether you like it or not eh. The Train Of Shame awaits you." spoke the farm boy.

Immediately, Susan entered the Train Of Shame, which sped off towards the Playas Des Losers.

"Well, it looks like James isn't going to be lonely anymore eh." noted Ezekiel.

"It's true, he's not." agreed Aqua.

"I don't think Susan will be able to get sleep with him around though..." acknowledged Rachel.

"Probably not eh. She should have thought of that before she threw the challenge." suggested the farm boy.

"I'll see you later." answered Norman.

"Take care eh. Try not to end up here again." spoke Ezekiel.

"We won't." nodded Quinta.

A few minutes later...

As before, Dawn was standing out in the parking lot, along with B and Geoff.

"Well, we probably should have seen this one coming. Susan really shouldn't have slept during that challenge...as Ezekiel already noted." noted Dawn.

"You're right! She shouldn't have!" exclaimed Geoff.

"It was nice having your company." said the moonchild.

B nodded.

"See you!" bellowed the teenage boy.

Immediately, he left towards the intern's lounge.

"Right...two campers down, twenty-one to go." said Dawn.

"This season is already starting to get interesting..." noted B.

"It sure is." nodded the moonchild.

"So, was there any challenges you had in mind for the next episode?" inquired the teenage boy.

"You'll "sea"." answered Dawn.

"Alright then..." noted B.

"So, will Team Oscar recover from their losses? Will they do better now that they've lost their weakest links? And will another team lose? Find out on Total Drama Ecstasy!" exclaimed the moonchild.

Once again, she shut off the camera.

"I'm actually enjoying my new job..." noted Dawn.

"I'm not." answered Blaineley.

"Well, maybe if you had done better as hostess, maybe you wouldn't have gotten demoted..." questioned B.

"Yeah yeah yeah." nodded the former hostess.

Immediately, she went to clean up the intern's lounge.

Oddly enough, Dawn sensed that she was worried about something...

...she wasn't quite sure what though.

"Hmm..." thought the moonchild.

I guess you snooze, you lose. Yes, I did give several hints that she was going to get voted off...but I hope you enjoyed this awards ceremony anyway.

In the next chapter...well, I already gave you a hint as to what the next challenge was going to be. You might want to put on a pirate's hat though...
