(African Lying Safari)
I would like to thank everyone who reviewed, favorited or followed this story since I last updated it.
Ellismskd24: Yeah, that's definitely one of his best moments. Alejandro already has a pretty big target on his back, so it won't make that much of a difference.
BigSmokeYeet: Interesting predictions. I guess we're gonna have to wait and see how that pans out.
SuperSonicHeroes: Yeah I know two double eliminations in a row might be weird, but I had to do it, so now there aren't any extra contestants left at this point, and I wanted to make a more original way of getting it down to the final five. Tyler is a character that definitely doesn't get anywhere near as much credit as he should. Granted he was used by Alejandro as a pawn and that is what he's best known for, but he is a decent guy with a good heart, and the kind of person you would want to be around. Yeah, I'm not shy about how much I love Dragon Ball Z Abridged, if the frequent references are anything to go by. As for the shoutout to Inifity War, I pretty much had to. Yeah, this is the farthest that both DJ and Noah have ever made it, the same with Cody, but I don't want to spoil anything just yet. All I will say is, remember the title of the story. If you want to check out my Underdog story then go ahead, I always appreciate feedback.
Frosty Wolf: Yeah, Avatar the Last Airbender is an absolute masterpiece, and THE standard when it comes to great cartoons. I've got my own opinion regarding the movie, even though I do acknowledge how bad it is. I'm undecided on my feelings regarding the Netflix series, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Another double elimination, and the last one in the story, was necessary to get the roster down to where it was in canon. Yeah, I wanted to explore how the alliance DJ had with Chef could've had a lasting impact on the series. Tyler though, yeah I feel bad too, but I figured if he had to go out, he might as well go out on his terms. I'm not going to spoil the next elimination, so you'll just have to wait and see.
OmnipotentUIJudgeOfCharacterOG: Yeah, Blaineley going was pretty obvious. Tyler was never really meant to win, but I think he had a pretty good run in the season, and his ranking in the final six was respectable. And yeah, going out on his own terms was probably the best way for him to leave. Noah winning the challenge was something I doubt many people would've seen coming, but I'm glad I did it. Everyone was already gunning for Alejandro, but yeah he's pretty well known as a greasy eel. Noah's pretty crafty, even though he wasn't really give a chance to shine on his own in canon. I won't spoil the next elimination, but I will say that things are about to come to a head. Nice job with your version of the outro though.
Zoryan El Muerto: Thanks, I'm glad to see you liked it. DJ staying past Jamaica wasn't the only change from canon, but yeah it's a pretty different final five, with Duncan, Heather and Sierra all being replaced by Noah, DJ and Gwen respectively. Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series by Little Kuriboh, I'll have to check that out later. I know how you feel about the live action Avatar movie that never existed, but believe me when I tell you there's one that's even worse. You're definitely right about Gwen, she deserves to be in the top five, and fixing/ getting rid of the love triangle was one of the easiest decisions to make regarding this story. I ship Duncney, and I also have a soft spot for Gwody, so I figured why bring in both?
Romeoaifesili: Yeah, Tyler let his code of honor be used against him, but his conscience got the better of him. Blaineley losing because she cheated, I wanted to have DJ and Chef's alliance from season two have a lasting impact. Cody's pretty much speaking for me as far as cartoons, movies and anime are concerned. I've got my own opinion on the Last Airbender movie, which you'll see soon enough. Yep, DJ and Noah haven't really interacted much before, so I thought it was time for them to get a scene together. DJ was already on board with voting off Alejandro, you have Duncan to thank for that, but you'll have to see how it plays out.
Guest: Yeah I feel bad for having to get rid of Tyler, but on the bright side, not only did he make it to the merge in this one, but also all the way to the final six. Blaineley was never meant to last very long, but yeah, I wanted to give DJ a chance to show off some of his intelligence, and to show that DJ's alliance with Chef had a lasting impact I'm glad to see you like some Gwody action, I'm always happy to meet another Gwody fan. As for that live action Avatar movie, that's a discussion for another time.

In typical fashion, Chris started off the episode with a recap of the previous one "Last time on Total Drama World Tour: Thanks a ton China, we had one hell of a blast, just not the kind that's really associated with fun, except for Tyler, who found himself questioning every decision he'd ever made after helping Alejandro cheat, which prompted him to make a nobe sacrifice and kick himself off the show. Noble sure, but noble doesn't win a million bucks. Tyler wasn't the only one to go home though, since apparently Blaineley was assisted during the challenge by a certain repeat offender, who got found out by his former accomplice in DJ. Now we're all the way down to the final five, so the questions remain: Which one of them won't make it to the final four, and how am I going to punish Chef for helping a contestant cheat again? Find out the answer to both of these questions right here and right now, on Total! Drama! World Tour!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The scene was relatively calm in Economy class.
Alejandro glanced around at the empty halls of economy class, then glanced over to where he saw Gwen and Cody looking down at her sketchbook "Well amigos, since our companions are in the process of enjoying the luxuries of first class, I suppose we might as well make the most of our time back here, which I can see that the two of you are doing."
"Yep, that's the plan." Gwen told him without looking up from her sketchbook.
"At least the two of you are able to enjoy it with each other."
"Yep, sorry you couldn't say the same with your woman." that caused Alejandro to tense up.
"...Come again?"
"We were on a team with Heather remember?" Cody glanced up at him and suppressed a grin "I spent half the season getting stalked by Sierra, but even I could see it."
"I… I assure you, I don't know what you're talking about."
"You heard what Blaineley said when she got thrown out of the plane, and we could see the sparks between the two of you." Cody shot a smirk at Gwen, and that proved to be enough to make Alejandro walk away from the scene "Okay you were right, that was kind of fun."
"I told you." Gwen gave a smirk of her own "You know we've gotta vote him off the first chance we get right?"
"Yeah I know, but that hasn't been going as well as we'd like."
"Nobody ever said it was gonna be easy. We just have to make sure he doesn't win immunity again and there's no cheating to protect him, and we're good."
"Right. I'm pretty sure Noah and DJ have the same game plan up there too. They're probably talking about strategies as we speak."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
And now for something completely different…
At the same time DJ and Noah were sitting on the sofa in the first class section of the plane, and they were talking about something much more interesting "So what's it called again?"
"It's a show called Dragon Prince that Cody and I found on Netflix." Noah told him "What got us botb hooked was that it's made by the same guys who did Avatar the Last Airbender, and the main guy is voiced by the guy who did Sokka."
"Sounds like it's pretty interesting. Is it as good?"
"It's more of a spiritual successor than Legend of Korra, at least in my eyes. Anyway, the interns had it set up so it's ready when you are."
"Shouldn't we talk about strategy for the game though?"
"We've already gone over that. Keep your head in the game, don't believe a word Alejandro tells you, make sure he doesn't win immunity, and then we're good to go."
"That's it?"
"That's all we can do without knowing what the next challenge is going to be. Like I said, don't give him an opening he can use, and he's as good as gone. As long as you vote with us. Don't forget about what Blaineley said, Alejandro did wipe out your team. You only escaped being eliminated through sheer luck, so make it count."
"...Okay then."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Confessional)
"The only problem is that Alejandro gonna do whatever he can to create an opening." Noah let out a groan "Now that Tyler is out of the game, he's pretty much on his own against me, Cody, DJ and Gwen, which means he's gonna be done holding back whatever tricks he's still got hidden up his sleeve. Given how things have been going this season, there's a pretty fair chance he's gonna come after me before any of the others. Like I said, the money would've been nice, but the only thing more satisfying would be making sure that slimy eel goes down. If he things he can get rid of me that easily, he's got another thing coming."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A few hours passed, and the plane landed in its next destination.
Noah and the others made their way out of the plane, and then he and and Gwen both burst out laughing when they saw what Chris was wearing "Points for style on the dress and bald cap my former boss."
"I'll have you know former assistant of mine, that this is traditional masai warrior garb, and it came with this!" Chris shot a smirk at Noah as he threw a spear at him, which forced him to duck behind DJ's back "And believe me when I tell you this, that's gonna be the least dangerous thing that you can expect to happen to you guys today. Let me start by welcoming all of you to the beautiful lands of Tanzania in Africa, home of the Serengeti plains and over 70 different kinds of animals that can and will kill you. Okay then, time for us to get started with the challenge for today."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Confessional)
"So, 70 different bloodthirsty beasts and a slippery eel." Noah's expression dulled "Yeah, this is going to be about as fun as looking through the comment section of a controversial video on YouTube."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Back with the challenge…
"Now then, time for the challenge!" Chris gathered everyone in another area for the first part of the challenge "The first part of today's challenge is going to combine two of the most popular sports that Africa has to offer, those being Soccer and Cricket. I like to refer to it as Sock It To Me, the me being you in this case if it wasn't obvious."
"Yeah, question before we do this." Gwen jerked a thumb at where Chef was standing a short distance away, wearing a heavy parka and pants and sweating heavily "Is Chef expecting some kind of freak blizzard?"
"That's a little something I like to call the Penalty Parka, pants included. The producers came up with it specifically to help people sweat out their cheating ways. Gotta give it to you Chef, you really are looking hot in that!" Chris ducked underneath a fruit being thrown at him, leaving it to hit DJ in the crotch instead, causing it to fall to his knees "Anyway, here's the deal. Each player is gonna have to run one at a time from the starting line to that pile of African safu plums. You then have to grab as many as you can carry and run back to the starting line, and you're gonna be doing all of this while your fellow competitors pummel you with soccer balls."
"I'm quaking in my boots at the prospect." Gwen commented dryly, only to be forced to duck underneath a soccer ball being hurled at her head.
"You were saying? Next, you're gonna have to take the plums you brought back and whack them with a cricket bat to smash those gourds open, like this." Chris then whacked a plum using his own cricket bat, hitting Chef in the face and sending him crashing to the ground "The best part is that wasn't even intentional. Anyway, whoever cracks their gourd open first is going to receive a reward that will be muy helpful in the next part of the challenge. Now then, get into position for this people. Cody, Noah, since you two are both only half a man each, I'm gonna let you two do this together."
"...Okay then." Noah shared a glance with Cody, and the two of them shrugged "I know I should be insulted by this, but if it gives us an edge then I'm all for it."
"Don't get too cocky just yet, I did say that you're both only half a man each, and even then just barely. Now get ready."
"On it." Noah and Cody shared a look and nodded as they readied themselves.
"Okay then. Ready, steady, Serengeti!" Chris blew a whistle.
"Let's go!" Noah and Cody both took off running, with DJ, Gwen and Alejandro lining up and kicking a few soccer balls at them "You know what to do in this situation right?"
"Of course I do, straight out of the book of Team Four Star. DODGE!" Cody ducked underneath a soccer ball from Gwen and DJ, with Noah doing the same, allowing them to pick up their plums and start their way back, only for this to be when Alejandro stuck, one of the soccer balls hitting Cody in the head, and the other hitting Noah in the crotch.
"Oh man, that was totally awesome!" Chris could only burst out laughing at the sight "Alright, time to see if DJ can top that."
"On it." DJ stepped up to the starting line, and once the whistle was blown he took off running, dodging the balls Cody and Noah were kicking at him on the way there, allowin him to pick up his plums and make his way back "Don't worry guys, I don't wanna hurt any of you with the balls or-" he was cut off by a ball slamming into the side of his head and sending him crashing to the ground, courtesy of Alejandro.
"Not bad, but still too soft, like wearing armor for riding a freaking bike soft. Seriously, I think we all remember that. Gwen, you're up."
"Finally." once the whistle was blown, Gwen took off running and was immediately met with a ball coming at her by Alejandro, only for her to kick it right back at him, forcing him to dodge it before it could hit him in the face, while Gwen picked up her plums and started back, only to be met with a soccer ball to the back of the head that knocked her to the ground "(Bleep)! Why do I keep coming back to this show?!"
"Okay that was epic, and also hilarious. I guess chivalry is dead. And then there was one. Alright then Alejandro, time for you to bring it on."
"As you wish senor." as soon as the whistle was blown, Alejandro took off running and easily kicked back the balls being aimed at him, one of them hitting Noah in the crotch and the others each hitting Cody, DJ and Gwen in the face.
"Nice, if only this stuff ran in the family."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Confessional)
"There's more truth to that claim than Chris realizes." Alejandro gave a shrug "In this instance in particular, I have my elder brother Carlos to thank for this set of skills, given that he actually is a professional soccer player."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
One quick transition later…
"Alright, time to start breaking stuff." Chris had Gwen and the others line up with ther piles of plums and cricket bats, in front of a series of gourds "Keep in mind what I said before, that the first person to smash through their gourd gets an advantage in the next round. Now go!"
"Got it!" Cody whacked a plum with his bat, only to end up hitting Chef in the crotch, causing him to keel over in a puddle of his own sweat "Uh… sorry!"
"Gotta admit Chef, it seems like the universe isn't too pleased with your meddling either. You think you would've learned!"
"Pipe down already McLean, I'm trying to concentrate!" Gwen whacked a plum with her bat and hit her gourd, leaving a crack but not breaking it, earning a snicker from Chris "Make one crack about me not being some freaking baseball prodigy, and something is gonna get smashed with this bat, but it sure as hell isn't gonna be the gourd!" and that shut him up.
"Yeah, well… Unlike our favorite goth girl Gwen, it seems Heather's future hubby is one hell of a batting fiend!"
"Callate!" Alejandro tried to hit another plum, only for it to end up landing on his head "Why did you have to-"
"Oh yeah it's official, him and Heather are meant for each other."
"Would you just- Okay, this is ridiculous!"
"Yeah yeah, just hit some fruit already!"
"Hey badda badda swing!" Noah took a breath, and then he whacked a plum and sent it hurtling straight through his gourd in a single shot, earning a few wide eyed satres "Adrenaline, it's not something you wanna underestimate."
"And just like that, the first place winner of this challenge is Noah!"
"See, I'm more than just a quick sarcastic wit." Noah gave a smirk as he stepped to the side, leaving the others to continue on.
"Noah wins this part, but the rest of you still get 10 seconds to crack your gourds, and believe me when I tell you that you're gonna want what's inside them."
"I'll take your word for it my good man." Alejandro whacked a single plum and shattered the top of his gourd.
"Next."
"On it!" DJ whacked another plum and blew off the top of his gourd.
"Next."
"Son of a-" Gwen let out a growl and just chucked her bat in her anger, hitting her gourd and blowing the top of hers clean off, causing her to breath a sigh of relief "You know Duncan was right, doing that really is satisfying, especially when you imagine it as Chris' head."
"...Yeah, Cody you're the last one."
"Last plum too, I've gotta make it count." Cody took a breath and whacked his last plum, only for it to end up hitting Chef in the crotch, earning a sickening crunching noise "Oh man, I felt that one. Sorry again Chef!"
"Well it's broken for sure, but it wasn't a gourd. Cody hasn't had any success, so that's going to make it a lot harder for him to deal with this!" he motioned to a large crate that an intern was bringing towards them, which contained a lot of angry snarling and shaking.
"Uh… should we be running right now?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact you should be scared of what's inside this crate. The second part of this challenge is going to be genuine African safari, and the fun part is the prey we chose… It's none other than the most dangerous and bloodthirsty animal of all of them." he motioned for the intern to open the crate "I give you… the baby seal!"
"...Momma." the sight of the baby seal proved to be enough to make DJ lose consciousness from pure unholy terror.
"Yeah not gonna lie, we had a hard time trying to pick which animal was gonna be vicious and brutal enough for this challenge. The bear just broke down crying after the challenge in Paris, and the yeti pretty much flat out refused, something about Noah and a ball and it kept flipping us off whenever we got near it. Anyway, that only left us with the baby seal, which it turns out is a hell of a lot more vicious than both of them combined, and given how it wants DJ's blood more than anything else… I think you can see where I'm going with this."
"More dangerous and exciting, which means better ratings coupled with the fact that you love seeing us in excruciating pain?" Noah guessed dryly.
"You know me so well, I'm almost touched. Anyway, whoever manages to nab the baby seal that wants to skewer DJ like a shishkabob wins invincibility from tonight's vote, and they get to bring one person of their choice up to first class with them."
"Yeah yeah very interesting, you mentioned something about a reward."
"In a second you little smartass. Head over to your gourds and check inside, they contain what you're gonna be using to hunt down this seal."
"Yeah, this is gonna be fun." Gwen rolled her eyes as she reached into her gourd, only to pull out a slingshot and a small pocket "Okay, so we're supposed to shoot a baby seal with whatever is in these pockets and a slingshot? You're trying to go to war with the animal rights people now aren't you?"
"Hey if I fended off the gay rights people, I can fend off those tree huggers. Anyway, the little pouches are filled with tranquilizer balls. All you have to do is sling them with a high enough level of velocity and they burst on contact, numbing the area and releasing a hearty dose of sleepytime goodness. Watch as I use this intern to demonstrate." he used the slingshot to fire a tranquilizer ball at an intern, knocking him out cold "You see, it's like paintball, only you get naps instead of getting hit with paint or any of the fun stuff from the paintball deer challenge we had back on Wawanakwa."
"Yeah, because that was a lot of fun." Gwen's tone was laced with sarcasm "The only real good that came out of it was Cody getting mauled by a bear and DJ throwing Owen off a cliff. And the way Beth stood up to Heather."
"That is also true. Speaking of which, somebody wake up DJ already."
"I've got this." Noah knelt down next to DJ and rolled up his sleeves.
"You sure you can do this?" asked Cody.
"I did say I've got this, and I've learned from watching the rest of you that you have to be sweet, sensitive and caring, and this is exactly how to do it." he then proceeded to smack DJ across the face as hard as he could "And that's how I've learned to do it from watching all of you."
"...Fair enough."
"Okay, moving on from that." Chris turned their attention back to him "To make sure it's not too easy for you guys, and because we've gotta make this last long enough for a half hour show, we're gonna be giving DJ's worst nightmare over here a head start." and then he shot a glance over at Chef "Hey frosty, time for you to release the beast!" that prompted Chef to open the cage, which sent the baby seal hopping away into the African landscape "So tell me DJ, what are your thoughts on the beast we chose for this challenge?"
"Kore wa nanimo imi shinai. Kore wa nanimo imi shinai." as it turns out, in his fear, DJ chose to latch onto Alejandro while muttering the Japanese mantra he had learned, earning a series of odd looks from the others.
"Ask a stupid question. Okay then, since Noah won the first challenge, he's gonna be getting six tranquilizer balls." he handed Noah his six balls "DJ and Alejandro, you both cracked yours open so you each get three, and Gwen you're gonna get two."
"Why do I get two?" asked Gwen "I cracked my gourd open too."
"Yeah but technically, you broke your gourd with a cricket bat instead of the plums like I told you to. As for you Cody, since you weren't able to put a single dent in your gourd, you're gonna be getting one ball and you don't get a slingshot either."
"So what do I do with the ball then?" asked Cody.
"You're just gonna have to throw the ball hard enough to make it burst, so good luck with being able to figure that out, because I'm pretty sure it's gonna be unsuccessful to the point where it's hilarious to watch. Now all of you get moving!" he had Chef blow on a horn, and that signalled the start of the challenge.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, with the first team…
"I didn't learn a ton from high school." by this point, Noah was walking through the plains of the Serengeti, with Alejandro following behind him, and DJ still clinging onto Alejandro out of pure fear "As in tracking prey is like avoiding the idiot jocks that try to cram you into a locker for shits and giggles, it pays to have a look out, which is why I'm trying to get the big guy to let the hell go of you."
"So you're suggesting we team up then?" Alejandro gave a smirk as he pulled Noah in close for a huddle "Quite the interesting prospect, hunting our little Arctic friend together as a pack. After all, that can help us to maximize our success."
"Yeah no, thanks but no thanks. I was talking to the big guy that's latched onto you so hard that he replaced Ezekiel as the clingon this season, but since apparently he's chosen you to latch onto and the lovebirds already took off on their own, evidently I have no choice but to go it on my own for this challenge and use my brains to make up for my lack of brawn."
"Then I must salute your bravery, and I bid you good hunting."
"Yeah sure, let me know how that goes." Noah eyed Alejandro with suspicion for a moment, and then he took his leave of the scene.
"And then there were two. Speaking of which amigo, would you mind letting go of me now? I feel as if you're cutting off my bloodflow with that powerful grip of yours."
"What? Oh sorry." DJ let go of Alejandro and glanced around nervously "It's just that after all the baby seal, I'm kind of…"
"Fearful?"
"Downright terrified to the point where even that mantra you taught me isn't enough to quell the fearful howls of my soul?"
"Quite the poetic way of saying it, but I do understand. Rest assured, stick with me during this challenge and I will keep you safe from our little Arctic predator."
"Alright." DJ took a breath to calm himself down, then glanced at Noah's retreating form "Do you think it's a good idea to let him go off on his own?"
"I think we've both learned by now that it's a grave mistake to underestimate Noah. Now come, let us be on our way as well." Alejandro promptly walked off in another direction, holding out his hand containing six tranquilizer balls and smirking to himself "Good thing for huddles and unsuspecting prey."
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, with a certain bookworm…
"At least the prey is actually smaller than I am." Noah let out a sigh as he glanced over at a bush rustling nearby, only to reach into his pouch and find nothing "Okay, where the hell is my ammo?" and then it hit him "Alejandro, of freaking course. Maybe he and Duncan are old jail buddies, they seem to know a lot of the same tricks." then he glanced up at the bush to see a giant lion emerge, growling at him with a hungry look in its eyes "Aw crapbaskets." and then he ran away screaming in terror.
This was when Chris chose to pop up "Who's gonna survive this one, will it be the king of the jungle or the king of kissing Cody's ear?" he was met with a pouch being thrown at his head, but he managed to dodge it with ease "Find out when we come back from a quick break, right here on Total! Drama! World Tour!" and then the lion roared at him and forced him to run.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Confessional)
"It's a funny thing really." Noah's expression turned dull to a comical extent "My mother once said that no matter what you do in life, there's always gonna be at least one point where you just decide to screw everything and running like hell in the spirit of self preservation. Now I know what she was talking about."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, with the eel and the BFG…
"Ease little buddy, easy little Artcic seal…" DJ glanced around nervously as he readied his slingshot and tranquilizer ball, his eyes darting all over the place in terror "Please don't maul my face off, I'm sorry I hit you back in the Yukon…"
"Easy amigo, don't look at the past or waste time wondering what might have happened when we have more pressing matters right in front of us." Alejandro gestured to some tracks on the ground in front of them "No footprints but some signs of a presence in the ground, and a little bit of drool to go with it."
"You think that's it?"
"I believe it's the only animal in the area that would leave no footprints. Come amigo, we have to hurry."
"R-Right." the two of them readied their slingshots and advanced forward, DJ shaking with fear all the while.
"Just make sure to stay calm, we can probably set a trap and lure our Arcitc creature in."
"Good idea, just make sure not to hurt- Wait a second."
"Is something wrong?"
"Are you shrinking?"
"No, why would you-" Alejandro cut himself when he looked around and realized the rather dire situation they had stumbled into "Oh, we're in quicksand. What is it that Noah and Cody always say, crapbaskets?"
"I'm pretty sure that's it. We should scream for help now right?"
"I believe that would be prudent." and so they both started screaming.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, with the newest power couple…
"You know what's really sad?" by this point, Cody and Gwen had gone on their own in search of the baby seal, though they weren't having much luck "The fact that I'm pretty sure the Serengeti is still not as dangerous as high school."
"What's even more said is that I physically can't argue with that." Gwen noted dryly, then let out a sigh as she looked around "No sign of the seal."
"And no idea why he chose a baby seal for a challenge in Africa. Seriously, that doesn't make any sense."
"Neither does about 85% of the stuff that happens on this show, but that hasn't stopped him before, so why would it start now? Anyway, he probably just wanted to torture DJ for some stupid reason."
"Why would he want to torture DJ?"
"Why does he do any of the crap that he does? Seriously, after three seasons with Chris all I want to do is take one of these stupid rocks and shove them up his-" she grabbed a nearby rock and threw it to prove her point, only for it to hit something with it, and she glanced over to see how pale Cody looked "What?"
"Um… We might have a problem." Cody pointed to what Gwen hit with that rock, which turned out to be a pissed off rhino.
"...Aw crapbaskets. Do we have a plan?"
"I do have one, but you're gonna have to hold on tight." Cody grabbed onto Gwen's arm and gripped it tightly, and then he suddenly took off running in terror, Gwen being dragged behind him the whole way.
"Where in the hell did you learn to run like this?!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Confessional)
"I wasn't kidding about that high school jab." Cody let out a sigh "Seriously, I might have the upper body strength of a paperclip, but it turns out that avoiding the jocks that try to beat you up or shove you into a locker is great for aerobics, so I can run really fast. Geeks definitely aren't the kind of people you want to underestimate."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, with the eel and the BFG…
"Oh man, we're gonna die, we're gonna freaking die…" still stuck in quicksand, DJ was now freaking out pretty hard "I never thought I was gonna die in quicksand. By an army of angry culinary rivals maybe, but this? I can't even-" he was cut off by Alejandro quickly slapping a hand over his mouth "What?"
"First of all stop screaming, it makes us sink faster. Second of all, the most important thing to do in a crisis is stay calm and scan your surroundings, which leads me into my third point. Take a look over there." Alejandro grabbed a nearby stick pointed to where the baby seal was emerging from a bush near the pit of quicksand "Here little one, do you like the stick?" he reached out to the seal with the stick, prompting it to tug on the stick and pull both him and DJ out of the pit of quicksand and back onto dry land "Yes, we made it."
"That…" DJ let out a sigh "That was way too close for my liking."
"I feel the same way amigo." Alejandro breathed a sigh of relief of his own, only for him to snap back to attention when he saw the baby seal trying to get away, and so he shot a tranquilizer ball at it, only to end up hitting one of the camera guys instead, knocking him out cold and leaving him and DJ to groan.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Confessional)
"Evidently this challenge isn't going as smoothly as I would've hoped." Alejandro let out a sigh, but then gave a shrug "At least the choice of pray can work in my favor, since DJ has evidently been so traumatized by his encounters with that baby seal, he's allowed himself to be completely taken over by fear, which I can use to my advantage."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, with the geek and the goth running for their lives…
"Running running running running!" Cody continued running in terror, Gwen being dragged behind him, until he ended up crashing into something, sending him and it tumbling to the ground in a heap "What the- Noah?!"
Sure enough, Noah was lying on top of Cody as they were both sprawled out on the ground, and his expression dulled further as he picked himself up "Great, the crazy (bleep) that ship us together are never gonna let us hear the end of that now."
"Don't remind me, I already get enough of those emails from fans as it is. So what are you doing out here?"
"Getting chased by an African predator that can and will kill me in a matter of minutes. What about you?"
"Pretty much the same."
"Mine was a lion.
"Me and Gwen got chased by a rhino… Oh crap, where's Gwen?"
"Up here." a voice directed their attention up to where Gwen was hanging from a tree, her foot caught on a branch and leaving her hanging upside down "You guys mind getting me the hell down from here? The blood is starting to rush to my head."
"Yeah, no." was Noah's blunt response "Hate to break it to you Gwen, but even when combined, me and Cody have about as much muscle tone as a pack of paper clips."
"Great, just freaking perfect. Well at least one good thing is coming out of this."
"Which is?" asked Cody.
"I've got a pretty good view from up here, and I think I see some tracks over there."
"You think they belong to the seal?"
"Well there's some drool and no footprints, just some dragging marks on the ground, so I think that's it."
"Okay good, now we just have to get you down."
"Don't bother, I can just take off my boot and-" Gwen unstrapped her boot and freed herself from the branch… only to end up landing on top of Noah once she was free.
"Are you guys okay?"
"Once again, there goes my pelvis." Noah grumbled dryly from where he was now sprawled out on the ground, pinned underneath Gwen.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, with the eel and the BFG…
"The tracks are this way, which means it can't be too far away." Alejandro and DJ continued their search for the baby seal, only for the former to stop the latter along the way "Am I the only one who heard that?"
"No, but I can see something over there too." DJ pointed at where some grass was rustling across a clearing from them "You think that's it?"
"I believe that we'll know soon enough, so be sure to ready your tranquilizer balls. We'll move on my count. One… two… three!" the two of them readied their tranqulizer balls and charged out into the open, only for Cody, Gwen and Noah to charge out from the opposite direction, and all five of them ended up being hit by their tranqulizer balls, sending all of them crashing to the ground in simultaneous unconscious heaps. It was only after this that a familiar annoying chime sounded through the air.
"Time for you guys to start singing like canaries!" this was when Chris and Chef showed up on the scene, but got no response "Hello? Anyone in there? You guys better not be dead, I can't afford the law suit." so he knelt down next to Gwen's form and checked her over, before an idea came to him "Hey look, it's Justin Bieber playing live right in front of us."
"KILL IT WITH FIRE!" Gwen bolted upright in a fit of rage, only to immediately fall flat on her face "Ow…"
"Yep, that one works every time. Seriously though, half an hour of you guys taking a bunch of cat naps? Oh yeah, that's gonna be great for ratings. Now look here, I want a song from you guys and I want it pronto, no matter where you got hit by the tranquilizer balls or how groggy you might claim to be, now get to it!"
"...Who wants to start it off?"
"I might as well." Noah let out a groan as he rolled over onto his back "Well it's a beautiful day on the Serengeti. The perfect time to snag a pup. I'll find the seal and win this whole game, as soon as my leg wakes up."
Alejandro: "Going alone just makes you look sad and pathetic, and plus you'll die without a trace."
DJ: "We teamed up and almost had the seal. I could see the whiskers right on its face. No seriously, we were that close."
Noah: "Almost gets you nowhere around here. You hooked up with an eel, that's all."
Alejandro: "Better than you were with the lion, when you couldn't find your balls. Your tranq balls that is, I wonder where they went."
"Oh god, my head…" Gwen let out a groan as she tried to pull herself to her feet "Okay, so apparently I have to sing or… You know what screw it, I'm done with this crap!"
"You know you're out if you don't sing!" Chris pointed out.
"Cody didn't sing for like five songs in a row and you never kicked him out!"
"...Just do the freaking song already."
Noah: "Well it's a beautiful day on the Serengeti. The perfect time to snag a pup. I'll find the seal and win this whole game, as soon as my leg wakes up. My leg."
Alejandro: "My hand."
DJ: "My arm."
Gwen: "My face."
Cody: "My everything."
All five of them: "Wake uuuuuuuuup! Wake uuuuuuuuuuuuuup!"
"Alright alright, you guys have done worse." Chris motioned for the song to end "But now you guys are gonna have to hurry up and catch that baby seal fast, because the plane is gonna be taking off in exactly one hour with or without you." and then he glanced over at Chef "Eesh, not gonna lie man, you're about as ripe as you are buff. But if you've learned your lesson, you up for calling a truce?" he was met with a fist bump "Awesome, so you wanna head back to the plane and watch the tranq ball massacre on the wide screen?" and that was enough to make Chef floor it with the jeep, knocking Chris out of it in the process "Hey get the hell back here, and keep your bulky feet out of my hot tub!"
"Yeah, that's gonna pan out." Noah rolled his eyes at the exchange, then glanced over towards where DJ was still clinging to Alejandro in terror, before turning to Cody "You wanna go for self preservation and try and catch the seal together?"
"Might as well, as long as Gwen can come too." Cody gave a shrug, and the two of them walked out of the clearing together.
"Yeah that figures." Gwen glanced over at where Cody and Noah were walking, before she turned towards Alejandro and DJ "You mind if I borrow the big guy for a minute? And yeah, that was a rhetorical question." she grabbed DJ and pulled him aside, her voice low "What the hell are you doing?"
"What are you talking about?" DJ glanced at her with a raised eyebrow, then followed her line of sight towards Alejandro "Oh, you mean that."
"Yeah. Look I get that the baby deal apparently traumatized you, but don't forget that we all agreed to vote off Alejandro in the next elimination, and we can't do that if you latch onto him like a parasite and help him win immunity!"
"I know I know, it's just… Every time I look at that little seal, it reminds me of how I hurt him back in the Yukon. And how it kept slapping me in the crotch in Paris."
"Yeah I get it, you kept hurting animals because of that stupid curse that none of us believe really exists, but you're not the only one that's suffered this season. Alejandro got almost your entire team kicked off the show, I got attacked and nearly beaten to a bloody pulp by two psycho hose beasts, Duncan and Courtney went through hell to start an actual healthy relationship, Tyler had to deal with his girlfriend not even knowing who he was, and yeah, Alejandro screwed over almost all of our friends one way or another!" she was left panting after her rant, but then took a moment to calm herself down "Do you really wanna let him get away with all of that?"
"...No, I don't." DJ took a few breaths to calm himself, then stood upright "You're right about that Gwen, he can't get away with all of this and he won't. I'm downright terrified of that baby seal, so I do wanna stick with Alejandro for protection, but at least this way I can make sure he isn't the one to hit it with a tranq ball."
"So a kind of sabotage from the inside?" Gwen raised an eyebrow, then gave a smirk "Not a bad idea actually. About time you put that brain to use." their conversation was cut short by a loud dramatic gasp coming from a short distance away "And now I have to deal with whatever it is that's got Cody so freaked out."
"You think he's okay?"
"He's gasping in shock, not screaming in terror. Maybe's something to do with that Cancel Culture stuff he told me about. Anyway go ahead and go through with your plan, but make sure that Alejandro doesn't win."
"Got it." the two of them fist bumped "And Gwen? Thanks for saying all of that, it's what I needed to hear."
"Hey you stood by me during all that crap last season, it's only right I do the same." and so the two of them parted ways and went off in different directions.
"So that seems to have gone well." Alejandro glanced over at DJ with his typical fake smile "I take it you're ready to continue on our search?"
"You know it, now let's go." DJ gave a grin of his own as he walked off, gripping his pouch with one hand as he did so, though he failed to notice Alejandro's grin morph into a smirk.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Confessional)
"This actually might work in my favor." Alejandro gave a smirk "Granted DJ and the others to intend to take me down for sure, but I have to focus on Noah right now, since clearly he is the bigger threat out of the remaining four. As for DJ himself, I have the perfect plan to keep him busy and capture the little Arctic creature for myself, while insuring that I am the one to secure victory in this challenge, rather than anyone else. Now see, I once said that Heather is a saint in comparison to me. You're about to see exactly what I mean by that."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, with the two members of nerd culture…
Noah looked at Cody in what appeared to be a mix of shock and disgust "You can't be serious, I can't believe you actually just said that!"
"Believe me, I don't like saying it either." Cody gave a shrug "But it's the truth, that's all there is to it."
"The truth? The fact that you said something so ignorant is both surprising, as well as a little bit disappointing."
"I'm surprised you don't agree with me, I mean you claim to know the true meaning of the world quality."
"I do, and that's why I can state for a fact that you're wrong on every account."
"I'm wrong on every account? You've got a lot of nerve saying that Noah."
"You have some nerve making the claim that you did in the first place."
"Oh for crying out loud, that was you two?" this was when Gwen made her way over to them looking rather annoyed "I could hear you guys all the way from that clearing, and I'm pretty sure they could hear you all the way at Wawanakwa. What the hell has you both so worked up in the first place?"
"This is about a rather ignorant statement just uttered by a recently-returned comrade."
"Define ignorant."
"We can use that to make jabs at each other later, I'm trying to tell red here that my opinion is a valid one." Cody told her flatly.
"Uh huh. Look this all sounds really interesting, but in case you two forgot, we're in the middle of a challenge, so you might wanna shelf this discussion for now and pick it up after we knock out a baby seal."
"Sorry Gwen, but this needs to be said and heard loud and clear and it needs to be completely unimpeded. You know what, I'm gonna say it again."
"And here we go."
"The Last Airbender movie is overhated!" a tense and awkward silence filled the air.
"...Wait what? You've gotta be freaking kidding me, so that's what you two have been arguing about?"
"That's what it is right now anyway. It actually started out as us talking about the third season of Seven Deadly Sins."
"Yeah on that point, me and Cody are actually in agreement." Noah told her flatly.
"About The Last Airbender, well that's a whole other story entirely."
"How in the world can you call it overhated Cody? That movie is an atrocity in every sense of the word."
"And I'm gonna bet you half of the million, depending on whether or not one of us wins, that you can't tell me why and make it convincing."
"Well prepare to lose that wager, because you'd better believe I can. The effects are far from worthy of being called special, the story is rushed, poorly paced and poorly written, and the performances by the cast are just horrific, and don't even get me started on the pronunciation of the names all throughout the movie."
"I'm not going to deny any of that, but you at least have to give the movie credit for still being true to the source material. The same can't be said about other movies like that."
"Can you at least name an example?"
"The perfect one that comes to mind is Dragonball Evolution. That movie isn't even true to the source material, it's horrible in every sense of the word. The way I see it, that movie was far more of an atrocity in every sense of the word than The Last Airbender could ever even dream of being."
"You're unbelievable, you know that?"
"You know when you think about it, both of those movies actually do have a lot more in common than people realize." Gwen pointed out.
"Bite your tongue goth girl." Noah was met with a pissed off look "Fine, how about you give us your opinion if you have one. We need a third opinion to break this stalemate."
"Well for one, I'm not losing brain cells over either of those movies, they've got pros and cons just like everything else, even though the cons obviously outweigh the pros in this case, though I personally think it's pretty sad when people tear into people who don't like the same things that they do. Live and let live, that's what I think."
"...Okay, not a bad argument."
"Good, because we've still got a challenge to focus on. DJ's trying to sabotage Alejandro and make sure he doesn't manage to knock out the seal."
"Which means that we're pretty much screwed." Noah let out a sigh "There's no way in hell that's gonna work, mainly for two reasons. One, Alejandro is Alejandro. Two, DJ is about as cutthroat as a teddy bear."
"...Yeah we're screwed."
"Big time."
"Which raises the question." Cody glanced over at Noah "If Alejandro wins this challenge, who do we vote for? There's no way that Gwen and I are gonna vote for each other. Does that mean we have to vote off DJ?"
"...(Bleep), I'm gonna hate myself for this later on." Noah let out a sigh.
"What do you mean?"
"In the event that we lose today, don't bother voting for DJ. Go ahead and vote for me."
"...Wait what?!" Cody and Gwen shared simultaneous jaw dropped looks with each other, and then he turned back to Noah "You can't seriously just-"
"I can and I am, and I'm telling you to vote for me."
"Why the hell would you tell us to do that?" Gwen shot him a raised eyebrow "That kind of goes against the whole point of this competition."
"For one, this is one of my contingency plans that I'm trying to set up in the event that I do get eliminated."
"Why?"
"Like I told Cody, winning a million bucks would be pretty nice, but what seems even better is making sure that slimy eel loses. You should understand that mentality, you said something along those lines about Heather back on the island."
"...Go on."
"The difference between me and Alejandro is that I'm not on my own trying to carry out my plans, and I actually do give a crap about the rest of you." Noah glanced over at Cody, and in one of those rare moments gave a small smile "And even if I can't do it myself, I would be satisfied knowing that someone else, one of you guys anyway, would be able to take him down and give him what he deserves."
"But Noah…" Cody's face fell at the thought, leaving Gwen to put a hand on his shoulder, but he stayed silent.
"At least it's gonna be someone else with a brain that wins the money right? Because if I do this, then I'm expecting you to win the million bucks."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, with the eel and the BFG…
"And so it begins…" Alejandro glanced around as he gained a malicious smirk "I must commend you for your diligence and courage DJ. Given your tragic history with that poor creature, I would never be able to confront such a creature directly after hurting it so fiercely."
"Well I guess I had to force myself to remember what you said, that fear only has as much power as I give it in my mind-" DJ was cut short when he ended up tripping on Alejandro's outstretched leg, sending him crashing into a bush and covering him in berry juices "What the-?!"
"I'm so sorry amigo, I didn't watch where I put my leg." Alejandro pulled DJ out of the bush and patted him on the back, wiping his hand on some grass as he did so "You must be careful though, because I believe those are Serengeti blood berries."
"They're not poisonous or anything are they?"
"Fortunately no, but their juice smells exactly like fresh blood."
"That's… probably worse to be honest. Hold on, I'm gonna go try and clean some of this off by the river over there."
"I'll wait here for you to do so." Alejandro gave his fake smile as he saw DJ off, but once he was far enough he looked down at his hand where he held DJ's stash of tranq balls "Twice in the same day, one of the more useful skills in my arsenal."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, with the BFG…
"Okay, just get off the juices, find the little guy and make sure Alejandro goes home…" by this point, DJ sat by the edge of a river trying to clean the juice off his shirt, only for the baby seal to suddenly burst up from the water and start attacking him, causing him to scream as he was thrown to the ground and the seal latched onto his head as it started throwing him around like a rag doll "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Don't worry little buddy, this isn't gonna hurt a bit, and I promise you I'm never gonna hurt you again!" he reached for his pouch to pull out a tranq ball, only to find that it was empty "What the- Where the heck are my tranq balls?"
"Not to worry amigo, I can free you from the clutches of that beast!" this was the moment in which Alejandro swooped in to save the day, and his own position in the game, DJ's stash of tranq balls visible in his hand, as he fired it with his slingshot, releasing a cloud of sleeping gas that engulfed both DJ and the seal, knocking them out cold on the spot.
"I got you now you son of a-" this was when Gwen and Cody raced onto the scene, tranq balls in hand, with Noah right behind them, only to falter when they saw what was happening "So… you won then?"
"It would appear that way amigo."
"You'd damn well better believe it does." this was when Chris and Chef showed up on the scene in their jeep "Congratulations Alejandro, you just won yourself a ticket to first class, and you won invinicibility and a free pass into the final four. I can imagine this pisses off the rest of you to the point where it's funny. Now quick, grab DJ and the seal and let's get the hell out of Africa before the interns leave me for dead for sicking that thing on them."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
An hour passed, and as the plane flew through the skies to its next destination, the time for the elimination ceremony was well underway.
"Okay, you know the drill." Chris gathered the remaining contestants in the elimination room for the ceremony to take place "You guys know the drill by now. If you don't get a bag of peanuts, you have to take the Drop of Shame. The following players are safe. Alejandro. Gwen. Cody." he tossed bags of peanuts to each of them "Only one bag left. The final bag goes to… DJ." he tossed the bag to DJ "Noah, you fought pretty hard this season to make it all the way to the final five, and god knows the fans are happy to see it, but now you've officially become tonight's unlucky loser. Now it's time for you to say tally ho, cheerio, adios, hasta la vista baby, au revoir-"
"Oh for god's sake, if I jump will you shut up?" Noah rolled his eyes as he pulled himself to his feet and accepted the parachute.
"Hey Noah." this was when DJ stepped forward "I… I just wanted to say I'm sorry."
"...Yeah well, whatever. Just keep an eye out for eels." he glanced over to see Alejandro shoot a smirk in his direction "Yeah, they're slimy and they hide in plain sight." then he shot a glance over at Cody "Remember what I said, there needs to be at least one person with a brain that makes it to the finals this season." and with that, he finally jumped out of the plane, and out of the competition entirely.
"Huh, you know he actually kind of grew on me. Well, time to forget that he ever had any real relevance this season." Chris shut the door as he watched Noah plummet to the Earth, then turned to the remaining four competitors "Alright Alejandro, time for you to pick someone to take with you to the big leagues."
"Let's see here…" Alejandro gave a smirk "It is a rather difficult decision, but… I think I'd have to pick Cody." he was met with a few dropped jaws at this.
"Huh, pretty interesting choice."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Confessional- Alejandro)
"This was a decisive victory for me." Alejandro gave a smirk of triumph "Now that Noah is out of my hair, the time has come for me to focus on breaking the bond between Cody and Gwen, and use them to get rid of my remaining competition. Yes, the rest of them are little more than fodder as far as the competition goes.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Confessional- DJ)
"I can't believe I screwed this up so bad." DJ let out a sigh as he buried his face in his hands out of shame "Gwen was right. I was so focused on my animal curse and my fears, I let myself get controlled by it, and now Noah is out of the game because of it." but then he looked straight at the camera, his eyes blazing with determination "She's right about something else. Alejandro is the one that hurt so many of my friends this season, and I was so focused on my own problems that I didn't let myself see it before. Well that stops now. Cody, Gwen, if you guys are gonna hear this, then no more messing around, no more distractions. We have to stop Alejandro from winning this game, no matter what."
"Yeah, you know it's gonna be good when the BFG is pissed off." this was when Chris poked his head into the room, freaking DJ out in the process "Things are about to get crazy. 14 contestants are down, and now only four remain. Who's gonna almost get killed next? You'll just have to tune in next time to find out, right here on Total! Drama! World Tour!" it was then that he noticed the look that he was getting from DJ "What?"
A/N:
And thus, we see a fairly long rivalry come to an end, and the tension is building between the four remaining competitors, especially since the victor of today has earned the full wrath of DJ, and if the last confessional is any indication, he's not going to take it lightly. One rivalry may have ended, but now a new feud has taken its place.
Like I said, the rivalry between Alejandro and Noah that started in London, has at last come to an end as a result of Noah's elimination. In all honesty, I never had any plans to make Noah go to the end, but at least here he got to the final five, which I think is pretty respectable. I like to think I do Noah justice in my stories. After all, those who read my Underdog series would know that there, I had Noah make it all the way to the final three.
In case it wasn't obvious, without Ezekiel here to become feral, I had to come up with a replacement creature for the final five to hunt in the Africa challenge. I also had to come up with a feasible way for Alejandro to win immunity that didn't seem like a copout or really unfair, and then it hit me: A certain baby seal that hates DJ with a burning passion. Truth be told it was mostly intended for comedic effect, but I came to realize that having DJ be absolutely terrified of it would be enough of a reason for him to cling onto Alejandro throughout the challenge out of pure fear, giving him a chance to use DJ to secure victory and immunity, which leads to Noah getting voted off instead, albeit by his own choice.
Yeah, in case it wasn't obvious, Gwen's got a lot of pent up rage from her time on the show, if her current interactions with Chris and her rant to DJ are anything to go by, but it also serves the purpose of getting DJ fully past his fears and insecurities and getting him to do whatever it takes to stop Alejandro. Granted it doesn't work in this chapter because it's Alejandro, but it's the thought that counts. Plus I've said this on more than one occasion, but I wanted to show off some more of the friendship between Gwen and DJ, because I think it's really underrated.
Oh, and for the record, I share Cody's opinion on The Last Airbender and Dragonball Evolution to an extent. When I say that, I mean that while I fully agree that The Last Airbender is a horrible movie, I truly believe that Dragonball Evolution is the worst of the two. Feel free to tell me what you think about that in your reviews, I'm curious as to how other people feel about the subject.
