AN: Okay a little note before we even get started when I usually leave them after the chapter into. Now when this gets posted up, it will not be Friday when I usually do and the upcoming Friday was the planned update. This is not because I am changing the time to update this, no no no. you see for the past three days I have been sick and unable to go to work for varies reason. So when I am not sleeping to get better I am finding myself having nothing to do but write. Strange I know but without work I find myself to have a whole lot of free time. So instead of working on this slowly for a week when I have time I found myself finishing this way early. Now I could have just posted this on Friday like I planned but I felt I might as well update it now as no doubt you are all excited for it. Though having What a Dramatic Life update today/yesterday may have also been a factor as I enjoyed it enough to want to post early as well. So with my rambling out of the way, let's get back to our early schedule programing.
Last time on Total Drama Preview; the cast got to see some things they never expected before. Their gracious host decided to throw them a little dance party, sorta like Prom but like hassle. With the music set to slow dances the cast watches as they started to split off and how come of the guys got lucky…and not that kind of lucky so get your minds out of the gutter. Naruto was caught between Bridgette and Heather and was amusing to watch. Cody also surprised everyone when he landed a girl himself in the form of Katie though they decided to take it slow. While there could have been more drama the dance ended with a scream with a sudden ending by the host. Naruto also showed everyone that he is no doubt the densest person on the island. I swear a hammer would break over his dense skull. But after that the campers got to see them make fools of each other trying to repair the trust in their teammates. And as a good host we all exploited it for laughs. Gwen was forced to flash her panties to everyone again while several more had injury after injury with food poisoning, jellyfish stings, knocked out by apples and a ride of terror. DJ got lucky as he avoided seeing the fate of his bunny though everyone got to see Duncan be the nice guy and get him a new one. For a punk he can be such a softy. Cody watched as he was forced out of the game just as he gained the girl. Tough luck bud. With more drama coming up we will see them face hell only a marine can know. May god have mercy on their souls 'cause we know Chef won't. Find out right now on Total…Drama…Preview!
Disclaimer; I do not own anything from TD nor from Naruto. I am simply using the story of What a Dramatic Life to make a nice little story with the author's permission.
Also a shout out to White fox16, who has been helping me with some of the grammar issues of this story. As I promised I have been updating weekly but that wouldn't be a problem if this was my only story but it isn't. While working on this I seem to realize that I have been neglecting my other work. So I decided that I would update this every Other week so I can work on my other stories. I will still make it on Friday or Saturday at most if something happens. Hopefully you all can handle the wait for chapters a little longer. Only a few more chapters till Naruto shows up and add the twist to the story. Hope you all can hold out, because it will be worth the wait trust me.
(Outside)
Two days went by, Naruto was relaxing on the steps of his cabin as Duncan craved skull on the wall before Harold stepped out of their room with a glare. "Okay, who made s'mores out of my underwear?" The nerd pointed at the sandwiched underwear, causing the punk and redhead to laughing at him.
Harold scowled as Duncan and some of the other boys laughed, "Oh man, I forgot we did that."
"Gosh you're, like, always picking on me for no reason." Harold said defensibly.
"No it's because you went back on your word," Duncan pointed out, "You think we would just leave you alone if you went back to your degusting habit?"
"It wasn't me!"
Harold yanked out one of his underwear and it landed in front of Courtney.
"Ew!" The CIT cried out before glared at the nerd, "Harold, you are so totally gross!"
"Yeah, ero-megane." Naruto chuckled with Duncan as Harold tried to explain to fuming Courtney. The nerd growled at them before slamming the door.
"I hate him," Harold muttered.
"You're the one that threw them at Courtney," Geoff pointed out. "It's not his fault you messed up."
"Sometimes he just makes it too easy." The punk chuckled.
"Yeah, he shouldn't break promise and leaving his underwear all over the room again." Naruto nodded with a grin.
"Listen up, you little maggots!" Chef's voice roared out of the loudspeaker, "I want all campers to report to the dock of shame at 0900 hours!" The campers looked at each other in confusion, "That mean now, soldiers. NOW!" Chef's roar snapped the confused campers out, causing them to running to the location.
The campers groaned, "God I forgot about this," Gwen muttered rubbing her forehead.
"This is going to suck," Trent added feeling pity for their counterparts.
Chef just cackled with glee, he had fun this challenge.
(Dock)
"Line up and stand at attention." The drill sergeant Chef barked at the campers, "You call this a proper formation?" The cooker walk by them while hitting them with a pointer stick, "Feet together. Arms down. Eyes forward. Head up." He finished up by hitting Harold many times since the nerd kept making mistakes.
"Why do you have to do that?" Harold asked.
"Cause you were being one of the worst soldiers I ever had to train!" Chef shouted "The real marines would have eaten you alive."
"Oh, this is gonna be a fun day." Gwen whispered to Trent with sarcasm.
"What did you say, solider?" Chef roared in her face with megaphone.
"Um…Nothing." The Goth girl sputtered.
"And you'll continue to say nothing until I tell you that you can say something." Chef growled before turns to another side, "Today's challenge will not be an easy one. In fact, I do not expect everyone to come out alive."
Owen snickered to himself before Chef hit him with the stick. "Ahh! That hurts!" The sergeant ignored him as he raised his megaphone.
"My orders are to make sure all of the maggots in front of me drop out of my boot camp except one." Chef explained as he stomped by the campers, "The last one standing wins immunity for their team."
"Straight forward but brutal," Chris added with a laugh, "excellent work my friend."
"I try," Chef added, "Though I have some new ways to train them up a bit."
The rest of the cast gulped nervously hoping Chris never got a new season up and running.
"Um…What happened to Chris?" Heather asked but it fell upon deaf ears.
"Rule number one…You will address me as Master Chief. Have you got that?"
"Yes, Master Chief." The campers said in unison.
"Halo much?" Noah joked getting some snickers. That was until Chef roared, "What was that maggot!?"
"You will sleep when I tell you to sleep and you will eat only when I tell you to eat." Chef glared at them, "Is that clear?"
"Yes, Master Chief!"
"Rule number two…When you're ready to give up, you will walk to the end of the dock and ring the bell." The sergeant pointed at the hanging bell. "Which brings me to rule number three…Let's get one quitter before the end of the first day. That day will not end until someone drops out." That make everyone gulped, "Now get your asses down to the beach, soldiers. Now, now, now!" Chef barked as everyone ran past him in terror.
(Beach)
"Listen up." Chef said as he glanced at the teams that stands in front of two canoe. "Each team must hold a canoe over their heads. I catch you taking your hands off the canoe and you will be eliminated." He narrowed his eyes, "And no one eats lunch until someone drops out."
"But we barely got to eat breakfast," Harold pointed out.
"That was the point!" Chef cried, "And you have no room to complain, you all should have let someone quit if you wanted lunch."
"B-B-But…" Harold whined.
"Canoes up!" The sergeant yelled as the teams lift their canoes over their heads.
"Whew!" Owen chuckled, "This isn't that hard."
"Yeah, I'll say." Trent nods his head with a grin and Naruto shakes his head, they don't have any idea what they are getting into.
Chef nodded as the rest groaned recalling how hard it was holding those cannons up.
No one knows how many hours have passed but their arms were starting to feel the strains. "Come on, you sissies. It's only been three hours now." Chef shouted to let them know how long it has been.
Chef scoffed, "you are all babies. The marines lifted heavier stuff over their heads for longer than that."
"Looks like they missed lunch today." Chris chuckled, he just showed up an hour ago.
"Mm-hmm." Chef nodded, "Guess they just weren't hungry…Unless someone wants to quit now." He looks down at them, it turns out that the host and the sergeant were sitting on top of the canoes so they can force someone to drop out.
"Why did you have one on each canoe?" Courtney asked as her team was the one holding Chef. "Chris is much lighter than Chef."
"Your team had a greater amount of stronger maggots," Chef said with a shrug, "So I sat on yours. It made it even so the producers would not say we were playing favorites."
"Like we would anyways," Chris added with a grin.
Owen's stomach growled loudly and Courtney snarled, "Don't even think about it!" No one noticed Naruto secretly hooked Harold's underwear with the fishing rod as Duncan smirked from behind the redhead. Slowly Naruto reeled his rod before turns his head to the smirking punk.
"Time to land this fish." Duncan snickered before Naruto jerked the rod, causing the nerd to cry out in pain.
"Morons!" Harold yelled as the pranksters give him an innocent looks.
"Is there a problem down here?" The nerd quickly holds the canoe as Chef looks down with a glare.
"No." Harold whined before glared at the snickering pranksters.
"Why don't you yell at them for placing their hands off the canoes?" Harold asked.
"Because I did not see them for one," Chef responded with a growl, "and second they were not the ones drawing my attention. Part of me is impress actually. To perform the task without drawing anyone's attention take some real skill."
Naruto glanced at the sky and blinked, he didn't noticed it was dark already. Right now, Chef was telling them a war story. "Twenty-five of us went in the jungle that night." The sergeant said, staring into the fire, "Only five of us come back out."
"What war were you in, anyway?" Gwen asked.
"Permission to speak, sir?" Naruto asked out of blue.
"Permission granted."
"Gwen, I wouldn't ask that if I were you, dattebayo." Naruto said, "It's not good idea to ask about the war if someone lose so many."
Chef made a small grunting noise but he had a small smile on his face. His respect for the brat went even higher now.
"That's right." Chef nodded his head before glared at the Goth girl, "Did I ask you to speak? Because I don't remember asking you to speak!"
"You also don't ask Naruto to speak." Gwen said with raised eyebrow.
"He asked permission like a good soldier," Chef said with a huff.
"Because he asked me for my permission." Chef said with a shrug, "A good soldier always asks permission first."
Gwen rolled her eyes, she don't feel like arguing right now. "Whatever...He so wasn't in a war." She whispered that last part to her team.
Gwen actually winced here. She recalled seeing the bullet scars on Chef from the fear episode and didn't even want to ask if that was real for Chef or not. However she did say, "Chef?"
"What?" Chef huffed annoyed at the campers on the screen.
"I want to apologies," Gwen said with a sigh, "I was out of line back then."
Chef looked at Gwen surprised and he was not the only one. Finally chef said, "Apology accepted maggot. But don't think I won't get on your case if you or your counterpart does anything to annoy me."
"That's fair," Gwen muttered before she added to herself, "I guess."
"Guys, I can't do this anymore." Lindsay groaned before dropping her arms, "I have no more feeling in my arms." She stumbled toward the dock.
"Looks like we got ourselves a quitter." Chef smirked.
"Lind…" Owen whispered, feeling bad that he can't do anything to help the bombshell as she rang the bell. The teams give out relieved sighs as they put down their canoes.
"Listen here," Chef said as he patted Lindsay's shoulder, "You have nothing to be ashamed of…" He pulls out the megaphone and roared at her, "Except being a little baby that let your team down! As for the rest of you, head to the mess hall. Dinner is served."
"Sweet Marie! Thank you!" Owen drooled at idea of having dinner.
(Main Lodge)
Chef barked, "All right, maggots, open your ears. You've got ten minutes to eat before night training begins so get to it."
"Oh man," Cody whispered, "Must be rough there."
"You have no idea little dude," Geoff replied rubbing his arms. He hated that challenge.
"Night training?" Someone gasped, "No way."
"Um…Excuse me, Master Chief. Where's the food?" Gwen asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You're looking at it." Chef chuckled, gesturing at the trash cans.
Owen lifted the lid and turned to the sergeant, "This is the leftover garbage from this morning's breakfast."
"Damn right! When you're at war, you take what you can eat." Chef grunted as Naruto walks up to the trash can and digging out some foods. The redhead checked his garbage foods for anything before eating it as some campers' face become green.
"Dude really can eat anything," Chris said, "He can not only handle Chef's food but also eating from the trash."
"I'm impress," Chef said, "too bad we never had the brat on the show. He sounds like he would be fun."
Heather scowled, not surprised with Naruto's actions but what he is doing embarrass her there. 'He better not make me regret calling him about this.'
"Man, how can you eat it?" DJ groaned, forcing his bile down.
"Hmm?" Naruto blinked as he glanced at the giant, "It's not bad if you get passed the taste, a little trick I pick up from Wilson-san, dattebayo."
"Who's Wilson?" Duncan asked with raised eyebrow.
"Someone who works with one of the circuses, he was a homeless before and his talent was that he can eat rocks so he was billed as the rock eater." Naruto chuckled at the campers' paled faces.
"Well he beats me," Owen giggled, "Even I can't eat a rock."
"Surprising really," Duncan admitted. He didn't think there was anyone that could eat something that Owen could not.
"Well, I can see you've got this under control." Chris said, turns his head to Chef, "I'm off to craft service. Coming?"
"Serve me up some of that." Chef nodded as he followed his boss out. Some of the campers start to digging out of the trash cans while some of them complained about the foods.
"I am so not going to eat these." Courtney groaned out of disgust.
"Don't care for today's specials, princess?" Duncan mocked as he carrying a drink.
"I am going to be running for office one day!" The CIT growled with crossed arms, "No one is going to pull up a file of me eating garbage."
"How's that working out for yea?" Heather asked with a smirk as Courtney glared at her.
The punk rolled his eyes at Courtney as he walk up to Harold and Naruto. "Hey, Harold, we felt really bad about the whole underwear-fishing incident thing so here…we found you some apple juice." Duncan said, presenting Harold with the drink.
"Thank!" Harold said before he drinks it and Naruto raised his eyebrows. The nerd swallowed with a wince before spitting it out as soon as Duncan told him it was kitchen grease.
"Wait a minute…Didn't you said that you were allergic to apple, dattebayo?" Naruto said with tilted head and almost all of the campers blinked, recalling the trust challenge.
"Hey wait," Duncan said sitting up, "whisker's right. You did say that last episode."
"And I seem to recall you saying something similar in our challenge," Courtney added with a glare.
The rest realized what was going on and glared to Harold who was trying to make himself look small. Katie then shouted, "You should have been the one kicked off not Sadie!"
"Dude seriously?" Noah said shaking his head. "If you're going to lie to get out of a challenge, not that you needed too, at least make sure to keep it going so you don't get figured out later."
"Not cool bra," DJ said shaking his head.
"But it doesn't matter!" Harold cried, "It was for something else and it was years ago."
"Still you tried to play us," Trent said "And the fact remains you took advantage of us because of it."
"But-but," Harold tried before he turned to Leshawna, "Leshawna?"
The sister however shook her head, "Boy don't talk to me right now."
"Ooooh!" Bridgette growled, "I can't believe you!"
"Yeah, you're a fucking liar." Duncan sneered and the nerd sweated at the campers' glares.
(Chef and Chris)
The host and the cooker were eating their dinner before Chris speaks up, "You know…Something about this redhead kept bothering me a lot."
"Um…What do you mean?" Chef raised his eyebrow and the host rubbed his forehead.
"I don't know…Every time when this kid said dattebayo, it makes me think of something that I can't even remember…this and his red hair is kind of familiar for some reason…"
Chris hummed in thought, "You know I'm right. There is something about this Naruto character that keeps bugging me."
"Like what?" Chef asked.
"No idea," Chris admitted, "I have a feeling he reminds me of someone I once knew."
"Well, I can't help you there." The cooker shrugged, "I'm no shrink or mind reader…Maybe you'll remember it right away or later so don't bother thinking about it."
"Hmm…Yeah, you're right. Why worry about the kid when I have to worry about the ratings." Chris chuckled as Chef rolled his eyes at his boss.
Heather raised a brow thinking, 'Why do I have a feeling I am not going to like where that is going.'
(Outside)
It took the campers about twenty minutes to finish their dinner until Chef come back and told them that they have to follow his actions while the music is playing. Some of the campers groaned when they hear the Thriller music as they mimicked Chef's dance move. The sergeant does a few hip thrusts before Duncan turns the boom box off, drawing some gasps from the campers. Duncan blinked at the boom box because he can hear the music and everyone glanced at Naruto. He was humming the song with his eyes closed and still doing the Thriller dance.
Once again Heather rolled her eyes for another reason.
(Confession)
"Idiot has a few weaknesses," Heather deadpanned with crossed arms, "And Thriller is one of them."
*Static*
Naruto danced around in the stall, still humming the song.
"Kid got taste I can give him that," Chef grunted with a smirk.
"Duncan, what are you doing?" Courtney shouted at the punk.
"One of us drops out, we're done for the day." Duncan said with crossed arms as he glared at Chef.
"We're done when I say we're done." Chef growled, "Now drop and give me twenty." Duncan rolled his eyes, dropping to do some pushup and the sergeant turned to his head to the campers. "Anyone else got anything they want to say?"
"Uh…Yeah…" Gwen raised her hand as she fidgeted around, "Can I go to the bathroom?"
Gwen groaned, "Should have kept my mouth shut."
"Sure, here's the mop and bucket." Chef tossed her the said objects with a cruel smirk and Gwen sighed as she carries them to the bathroom. "Now…It's Thriller time!" They resumed their dance routine.
(Main Lodge)
"For your next challenge," Chef announced as he stand in front of the teams with his arms behind his back. "You will complete a three hundreds word essay about how much you love me. Anyone who falls asleep or fails to complete the challenge will be eliminated."
"Oh man…" Owen whispered to himself before the campers starts to write down their essay.
"Umm question?" Owen asked raising his hand.
Chef sighed, "What?"
"How is this supposed to be training?" Owen asked too afraid to ask the first time.
"It shows respect to your commanding officer," Chef stated, "And it teaches you to work under pressure with a task you do not enjoy doing."
"Yeah right," Duncan muttered rolling his eyes.
Few hours went by and everyone was tired before the alarm rang out, a signal that the essay challenge had ended as Chef collected the papers. "Crap!" Harold groaned.
Chef cleared his throat before he read the first paper out loud, "I love Master Chief Hatchet because he is very, very, very, very, very…" He continued to repeating 'very' over and over before he figured it out. "This is just one sentence with five pages of 'very' in between!" Chef glared at Duncan.
"Three hundred words like you asked," Duncan reminded him, "You didn't say they had to be in different sentences."
"It was implied!"
"It's three hundred words exactly." Duncan smirked coyly, "You can count them if you want."
Chef growled, walks over to the table before slipped on Owen's drool puddle. "Wipe up that drool, you little maggot!" The sergeant roared as he gets up on his feet with drool stains. He slammed his hand on table and he stares down at sleeping Trent and DJ. "Trent, DJ, you two slackers are out! The rest of you, get to bed and report to the playing field at 0500 hours."
"Uh, missed a spot there, general." Duncan smirked.
"Boy, do you want to run fifty laps around this camp right now?" Chef snarled before Courtney pulls the punk back.
"No thanks. He's going straight to bed, aren't you?" The CIT glared at the punk, "What are you trying to do, get eliminated?"
"Oh you care so much," Duncan teased.
"Up yours," Courtney said though she did not meet him in the eyes.
"I didn't know you cared." Duncan smirked.
"I don't! I just don't want to lose this challenge, so stop being such a screw-up and do what you're told for once, okay?" Courtney growled with narrowed eyes before she stomped away.
"…She so wants me." Duncan whispered to Naruto with a smirk.
"Big time, dattebayo." The redhead chuckled.
Duncan laughed, "Man I love this kid."
"We all do," Izzy reminded him, "I love it when we get some whiskers time of our own."
"But he's not real," Beth reminded Izzy.
"I will find my whisker time!"
'Idiot you are never going to be getting a moment's rest here,' Heather thought shaking her head.
(Woods)
The teams and the sergeant stood in front of the obstacle course. "…It was not there a few hours ago, dattebayo…" Naruto raised his eyebrows at the sight before glancing at the panting interns, he wonder where did Total Drama get these handy interns from?
"Wouldn't you like to know," Chris mocked teased with a smirk.
"You will all run this course until you can all complete it in under one minute. Am I making myself clear?" Chef said right in Duncan's face with a glare.
"Crystal." Duncan smirked and the sergeant take a step back.
"Hmm, it looks easy to do." Naruto tapped his chin as he scanned the course.
"Dude he did not just say that," Geoff laughed.
"There's, like, no one he can do that so easily" Harold added with a scoff.
"Shall we add to our wager?" Duncan asked and Harold nodded even though he was already behind in his debt to Duncan. Duncan wasn't sure if the new kid could do it or not but he was willing to wager against Harold as he has proven everyone wrong before.
"Oh really?" Chef crossed his arms, "Why don't you show us how easy it is…Go!"
Naruto sprinted quickly towards the wall before placing his hands on the ground and flipped himself over the wall. The redhead smirked as he jumped over the pit without using the rope and ran up to the suspending tires, pulling a corkscrew jump through the tire easily. The teams dropped their jaws with widened eyes as Naruto slide under the swinging axes, crossed the finish line. "Ta-da!" The redhead laughed after taking a good look at their face, it was all under a minute, almost thirty seconds.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…dude," someone whispered.
Everyone was gapping at the screen, even Heather as she has not seen Naruto pull anything like this off in front of her before. Chef was wide eyed as was Chris. "Daaaaaaamn!" Chef finally exclaimed, "That was…I don't even know what else to say."
"Man I wish we had him on the show even more," Chris stated, "With his skill and unknowingly causing so much drama our ratings would be through then roof."
"Forget that," Chef said, "I want to see if he could pull that off for real. That was something even the guys in my old unit could not pull off so fast."
"…You can sit this one out, soldier." Chef said with widened eyes. Heather rolled her eyes, why does her idiot always love to show off.
Heather rolled her eyes being the first to recover 'Tell me about it, I forgot he would be like that.'
Gwen noticed this and narrowed her eyes.
(Confession)
"Daaaaaaamn!" Chef said astounded, holding his head. "Not even a soldier in my unit can do this."
*Static*
"Well, it was easy to do parkour since it goes hand in hand with circus training." Naruto grinned, rubbing his head.
"How can he make this look so easy?" Cody asked and no one was able to answer.
Duncan however smirked at Harold who scowled with his arms crossed.
"Come on, guys, you can do it, dattebayo." Naruto encouraged his fellow campers as they ran through the course with a lot of struggle.
"Who do you think will drop out first?" Chef asked, snickered as DJ slipped on the mud.
"Hmm, I guess Harold since he's…well, you know." The sergeant nodded his head, agreed with the brat.
"Hey!" Harold cried out, "I could have done it!"
"You failed worst then most recruits!" Chef corrected him.
The said nerd struggled to get up on top of the wall before fall down and landed in the mud face down.
"Look like you're right." Chef muttered before Harold lifts his head and vomit out mud. The sergeant and the redhead walk up to the vomiting nerd as Duncan turned to them.
"Uh…General Crazy, we've got a situation here." The punk pointed at the nerd with his thumb.
"Too…Much…Mud…" Harold vomited out mud every time he says a word.
Harold scowled though his checks were slightly pink.
Chef picks the nerd up by his collar and said, "Ring the bell and report to the infirmary. Your tour of duty is finished."
"Wow, poor guy." Duncan jeered.
"Back on the course, maggots, now!" Chef roared at the punk, "One false move and I'll be on you like stink on a poop wagon!"
"I look forward to it, sir." Duncan smirked and the sergeant scowled at him as the punk return to his course.
(Confession)
"There's always one rebel maggot among maggots." Chef muttered.
Duncan scoffed, "I live to be a rebel. You just happen to ignored it until that moment."
"And where did that lead you smart guy?" Chef asked causing the punk to scowl.
"Fallen solider, I salute you." Duncan joked as he crawled by sinking Leshawna before stopped in front of Chef's boots.
"You just brought yourself twenty more push-ups." Chef shouted.
"Thank you." Duncan mocked before he pecked sergeant's nose and Chef growled with veins popping out.
"You really shouldn't have done that," Gwen pointed out.
"Okay I'll admit I might have stepped over the line there."
"I think you may have made him snap." Bridgette whispered to the punk.
"I think you're right." Duncan gulped.
"One night solitary confinement in the boathouse!" Chef roared with fury and everyone screamed out of fear.
"Big deal." Duncan rolled his eyes, "How scary can it be?" The punk chuckled before the sergeant grabbed him by collar and dragged him to the boathouse.
"Me and my big mouth," the punk muttered.
(Main Lodge)
Courtney glanced out of the window as the teams were relaxing with their gruel after finished up with the course. "I'm going check on him." Courtney said, standing up with her bowl.
"You like him a lot." Owen snickered.
"Maybe it's more than like, dattebayo." Naruto smirked.
"I do not like him!" Courtney yelled at them with a lightly blush on her face.
"Oh really?" Duncan asked earning a splash from Courtney's soda.
"Yeah…And your blushing face doesn't agree with you." Naruto chuckled as the CIT's face turn red.
"N-N-Not only do I not like him…" Courtney coughed, trying to calm herself down. "I can't stand him. He's rude, rebellious, and totally annoying…I'm going to check on him." She ran out of the main lodge.
"You're not fooling anyone girl" Leshawna inform her.
Naruto turned to Owen and DJ with a grin. "She's so tsundere, dattebayo."
Courtney gapped at the screen for the suggestion while Heather laughed. It was about time someone else was called that.
They both nodded before Bridgette sat down next to Naruto. "Hey Bri-chan, I felt like I haven't seen you for a while."
The surfer nodded her head, "Yeah, Chef is working us so hard that I barely talk to anyone for a while."
"Me too." DJ groaned, rotating his arms around and winced as he feels some pops in his muscle.
"True, but I kind of find this challenge enjoyable and fun, dattebayo." Naruto grinned as his teammates rolled their eyes.
"The boy is crazy," Leshawna said getting nods all around.
After a few bites, Owen looked up in wonder before swallowed his foods. "Hey, Naru…Can I ask you something?" Naruto nod his head, "What does dattebayo mean? You kept saying it a lot."
Harold smirked, "Now we get to hear the secret code he has been saying all alone."
"Oh, yeah, I'm been wondering about that for a while." Bridgette said with curiosity.
"Well…" Naruto scratched his nose with a little blush, "It really has no meaning at all." The Bass raised their eyebrows and the redhead chuckled at their expression. "It's just a dialect or verbal tic, something that I got from kaa-san."
Harold gapped at the screen, "Say what?" he cried.
"What was that about a code dude?" Cody asked.
"But, but…who says something that doesn't have a meaning to it?" Harold was having a hard time understanding it.
"He said it was a verbal tic," Trent pointed out, "he can't help but say it."
'Almost can't help it,' Heather mused as she recalled a time Naruto held back his tick to not scare this one girl they hanged out with one summer when her folks were on vacation, 'though it did back fire on me afterwards.'
"Besides you says all sorts of crap that doesn't mean anything," Duncan added.
"No I don't," Harold claimed.
"Yeah you do and everyone else will say so as well." Duncan added.
Harold looked to the others as they either nodded, shrugged or gave him wishy-washy sighs.
"That's odd and interesting." DJ said.
"You really take a lot of things after your mom." Owen grinned and Naruto nodded his head as they finished up their gruel dinner. The redhead stretched his arms out with a lightly groan.
"Well, I don't know you guys but I'm going back to cabin and relax for a bit, dattebayo." Everyone nodded their head, agreeing with the redhead since they were still tired after the course.
(Killer Bass cabin)
"Hey guys!" Duncan grinned as he sat on the steps with Courtney, bags in their hands and both of the teams blinked at them.
Chef blinked, "Why are you out of the boat house?"
Duncan shrugged not caring. The punk thought they were lucky he stayed as long as he did.
"What are you doing out of boathouse?" Harold glared with a scowl.
"Whatever." Duncan shrugged, "Courtney and I just swiped a lot of good foods…" He showed them the contents inside the bags and glanced at the Gophers team. "You guys can come inside and we'll have a party."
Chef blinked before he growled at them.
"I'm in for the foods." Leshawna grinned and her team nodded, they really want to have some good foods, unlike these gruel and trash foods. The Gophers entered the Bass boys' room and starts to share foods as they chatted with each other. Katie and Trent was chatting about the music and random topics.
"Odin, you got jam all over your face." Lindsay giggled as she wipe some off with her finger and taste it, drawing a blush out of the oaf.
"Thank, Lind!" Owen giggled nervously with blush as some campers smirked at the blonde couple.
"Wow it still weird to see the two of you act like that," Beth said.
Lindsay shrugged, "I find it nice they are able to hang out so easily even when liking each other."
Tyler looked down but looked up determined to take Lindsay on a date after this.
"How long do you think it will take until they get together?" Leshawna whispered to Gwen and Bridgette. Both of them said it will be pretty soon if it keeping going well between them before starting to talk about Chef.
"Oh gross!" Harold cried out loud as everyone turns to see him lifting the blanket off, revealing a smiley face draw with peanut butter.
"Now see, that's a waste of good peanut butter." Duncan snickered and Naruto nodded.
"I know," Owen frowned hating seeing food get wasted.
Courtney takes the last ice cream sandwich before Bridgette touches her hand, "Okay, I think you had enough."
"Oh, no, no…Just one more." The CIT giggled as she pulled her hand back before swallowed the sandwich whole and burped loudly. "Oh, that one was a mistake." She ran out to vomiting as Gwen and Leshawna giggled.
"Don't say we didn't told you so," Bridgette added with a smile.
'Don't say I didn't warned her.' Bridgette rolled her eyes and Naruto chuckled as he watches Duncan walks out to talk with Courtney.
"Idiot, open this jar for me." Heather grunted, shoving the jelly jar in Naruto's hand. "I need to make a sandwich before the fatty eats it all up."
"Sure, Heat-chan." He handed the opened jar back to her, "I see that your cold is gone now, dattebayo."
"Yeah…" The queen bee grunted as she made her own sandwich and sat down next to Naruto. She cut it in half before eat one piece, handing the other piece to the redhead. "Eat it, idiot."
"If Owen and Lindsay is strange this one really takes the cake," Gwen said and almost everyone nodded.
"Thank." Naruto smiled at her and Heather's expression get softer as few of Gophers raised their eyebrow at Heather's behavior. He glanced at the doorway to see Courtney kissing Duncan and chuckled as he stand up and walk out with DJ. "Well, well." Naruto put his arm around the punk's shoulders as Courtney walks to the bathroom to wash herself up, "Someone got very lucky."
"Told you she wants me so badly." Duncan nudged the redhead's stomach and they laughed.
"What can I say," Duncan gloated with a smirk, "The ladies love me." This earned him one splash from soda and a bucket of popcorn to his head.
"Yeah, look like I own you a few bucks." DJ chuckled and the punk nods his head, neither of them noticed Harold glared at them with an ugly sneer on his face.
"Attention, remaining boot-camper group! The next evolution of your next training will begin tomorrow at 0700 hours and if I caught the sucker that took my dessert, your ass is mine!" Chef's voice bellowed out of nowhere as the campers glanced around for the cooker.
Duncan and Courtney glanced up at the steaming Chef and were actually kind of nervous.
"…I think we finally pissed him off this time." Trent said with widened eyes, it turns out that Chef's voice was so loud that he don't even need the megaphone or loudspeaker.
"You can bet your ass I was," Chef said, "And while I know who messed with me, I might not be able to punish you know I will find a way to get back at you two maggots."
Courtney and Duncan looked very nervous and were now really wishing that Chris did not get a new season of Total Drama up.
(Woods)
The next morning, the campers were forced to hanging on the tree's branches upside down and most of remaining campers dropped out. It was down to Naruto, Duncan, and Courtney against Gwen and Heather as Chef walked under them. "What you are experiencing is an ancient form of torture. By now, the blood has begun rushing down to your head. The next stage is nausea, followed by dizziness and a flushed appearance." Duncan was starting to show the said signs, "As the blood begins to pool in your eyes, you may experience fainting spells."
"I hated that," Geoff muttered. It was simple and yet effective not to mention how he acted when under the effects.
The punk gave out and falls down to the ground as Courtney cried out for him. "It's okay, he's alright." Bridgette called out after checked on Duncan before Heather fall down with a groan, she slipped because of her sweat.
"Heat-chan, you okay?" Naruto asked, only to get a shout from the queen bee as she stomped to the bathroom to clean herself from sweat.
"At least answer the boy nicely," Leshawna said to the queen bee, "He's pretty much the only one that cares for you."
"I think I cared," Lindsay pointed out before Beth reminded her of a few facts.
"It's good thing that we have you." Courtney said, glancing at the redhead teammate.
"Actually, I've never been hanging upside down this long so I may drop anytime." Naruto admitted, he had been working as acrobat for a while and this challenge is more brutal than the acrobat training.
"Can't be that different," DJ said, "They hand upside down too right?"
"While moving and they flip back up for their acts," Noah reminded them, "I don't think they stay upside down for that long."
"What…Ha, ha, ha!" Courtney started to laugh for no reason and Naruto turns his head to her with a concern look.
"Stop laughing this instant." Chef barked.
"Sorry!" Courtney laughed, "I can't stop laughing." The CIT kept laughed before she falls down with a thump.
The sergeant frowned at Courtney with fists on his hip, "I expected more out of you, soldier."
Courtney looked down embarrassed, even with that she expected herself to do better.
"Ahem." The CIT cleared her throat, "Master Chief, I just have one thing to say to you."
"And what might that be?"
"You really need to take a chill pill." Courtney turns on her heels and walk away as Chef's cheeks puffed out with fires in his eyes. Everyone stared at the CIT with dropped jaws.
"Totally unexpected," Duncan said before he grinned, "and hot."
"That's what I'm talking about." Duncan laughed, wrapping his arm around Courtney's waist.
"Naruto, it's all up to you!" Courtney shouted at the redhead.
"Girl, don't you lose!" Leshawna supported her Goth friend.
"Oh yeah, I can hang here all day." Gwen smirked at Naruto as he sticks his tongue out at her.
Gwen rolled her eyes, "mature much." Though she did have a small smile on her face.
"Like everyone else here?" Leshawna asked.
"Good point."
Duncan raised a brow seeing Gwen look at Naruto, 'No not yet. I know she could have a thing for him but I need more than a gut feeling.'
A few hours went by and no one know how it will end until the redhead groaned as he turns his head to Bass team.
"Watashi wa memai, moshiwakearimasenga, min'nada yo."
"Say what?" DJ rubbed his head before Naruto repeated it over and over.
Chris hummed out loud rubbing his chin, "It's been a while since I had to understand Japanese but I think he says something along the lines of feeling dizzy and that's he sorry."
"Since when did you speak Japanese?" Chef asked.
"My first girlfriend is Japanese" Chris informed him, "it's just been a while since I had to understand it. How else did you think I was able to make that deal in Japan for our show and commercial so easily than any one country?"
"Good point."
"Hmm, my Japanese is rusty but I believe he said that he's feeling dizzy and that he's sorry." Chris said before the campers and the cooker turns to him with raised eyebrows, when did he show up?
Chris smirked, "Hey, I was right."
"Big deal," Chef muttered.
As soon as the host finished his sentence, Naruto fainted and fall down, landed in Chef's arms.
"How come you caught him Chef?" Owen asked.
"How should I know!" chef yelled before he crossed his arms. Though he would admit he liked the brat enough to actually do that.
The Gophers cheered as they pick up Gwen and Chef called out to them with a salute. "Congratulation, soldier. I'd go to war with you anytime."
"I'll keep it in my mind when I choose my career." Gwen said as the Gophers carried her away from the cooker.
"You do that, soldier. You do that…" A tear come out of Chef's eye and he glared at it, "Back in there!" It quickly returned to his tear duct.
"Yo, man." DJ shakes Naruto's shoulder as the Bass team look at him with concern.
"Huh…" The redhead slowly opened his eyes but they can see his eyes spinning around, "Ramen lord, is that you? Have you come to bless me with your tasty ramen broth?"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…yeah he lost it." Chris muttered.
"Oh boy." Bridgette gulps as Naruto muttered nonsense.
"He'll snap out of it in a bit." Chef said as he walks past them with a chuckle.
(Campfire)
The Bass team glanced behind to see Chef standing with his arm crossed before Chris spoke, "I only have six marshmallows on my plate and these marshmallows represent the campers that will continue to be campers…Here." Courtney rolled her eyes, "You've all cast your ballots in the confession can. If I do not call your name, you must immediately go down to the dock of shame, catch the boat of losers and go home. You can't come back…ever."
Courtney however had a thought, "Wait a second, isn't this where Harold rigged the votes?"
Harold looked nervous and Duncan said, "Yeah he did."
Courtney glared at Harold, "your boy better not do it again or so help me!"
"Why!?" Harold cried, "It would not be my fault."
"You did it though," Duncan pointed out, "just take your lumps."
"Whiskers, did you remember our plans?" Duncan whispered to Naruto with a smirk.
"Yeah, I did." The redhead nodded as Chris starts to call out the campers' names.
"Duncan…DJ…Bridgette…Owen…Naruto." The host handed the said campers their marshmallows before turns to Harold and Courtney. "Campers, this is the final marshmallow of the night."
"…" Courtney smirked.
"…" Harold shows no reaction as he slumped.
"…" Chris glared at them. "Harold!"
Harold gulped while Courtney screamed in fury.
"What!" Courtney snarled at the shocked campers, "You guys voted for Harold over me?"
"Yes, yes." Chris said, "It's always a shock."
"This is impossible, I demand a recount!" The CIT yelled.
"Seriously, dude." Duncan putted his hand on Chris' shoulder with a glare, "I know for a fact…There were four of us that didn't voted her off." The host ignored the punk as he snapped his fingers before Chef grabbed the CIT with Chris' help.
"I do not concede!" Courtney screamed, dragged away to the dock of shame as Duncan followed them. Naruto frowned, something was not right before take a gaze at Harold to see him smirking at the retreating punk. The redhead narrowed his eyes before he walk away from the campfire.
"Someone on to you buddy," Trent said with a smirk. He knew Naruto was a good guy and would not let this cheating go.
(Outhouse stall)
Naruto's eyes narrowed in anger, watching the record of Harold rigged the votes and growled.
when the episode ended Harold screamed in terror as Courtney jumped from her seat and tried to strangle the nerd. Several other move to either keep Courtney from killing the boy, keep the others from shorting Harold's punishment or just laughed at the scene. Heather rolled her eyes ignoring the action all together. She did noticed that her phone flashed showing she got a text message. She looked at it and found a single word.
'Here'
Heather smirked before she stood up, "I'm going to get a refill," she walked away only getting few to glance her way, "Don't wait up for me."
Chef is a crazy, crazy man but we all love him for it. Our campers saw some scenes they try and forget and part that night have sparked a few emotions. Also not a very good chapter for Harold man. If Courtney leaves him in one piece we will at least see some more fun with him involve, mostly at his expense. And what is this with some of them wanting to see Naruto himself? And some are wondering what Heather is hiding. But what I know is you will either love or hate the next chapter when we brings you the next episode of Total…Drama…Preview!
