Last time on Total Drama Survival:

The teams went out to get to know the local wildlife a little bit better! Sydney proved that she could be an asset to her team. Kellie flirted with Jared, and Ted and Claire got infected by the love virus!

But thanks to Emma's consistent hatred and belittling of her team, the Lethal Lions actually threw the challenge just to vote her off, and she didn't seem to happy about that!

We also said a sad goodbye to Tori, who was withdrawing from hr caffeine addiction and hilariously got bitten by a rabid mouse!

Who will crumble under pressure? And who will stand tall? Find out right here on Total! Drama! SURVIVAL!

I'll show the theme song eventually...

Chapter 4: Deep Trouble

SPA HOTEL: DINING HALL

"Man, I love this life!" Manny said to his teammates.

"Yes," Said Lucas, sitting next to him, "It is like living in Hyrule Castle!"

"Um, is that another Star Wars reference?" Manny asked.

"No, it is a Legend of Zelda reference!" Lucas said, "Remember, we watched the entire first trilogy last night. Did you see any mention of Hyrule Castle?"

"Um...I kind of fell asleep in the middle of the first movie," Manny confessed.

"Imbecile!" Lucas said, "How could you not have stayed awake? I was totally immersed in the sci-fi world in the movie! How could you not have been?"

"Uh...I was really tired," Manny said.

"I won't come out!" the Tigers heard Thomas's voice.

"You have to!" Peyton said, "It's ok! You're not going to die!"

"But I could be maimed or severely injured!" Thomas said, "I'm not going to risk my life and limb to sit with my team and make 'friends!'"

"But you have to have friends!" Peyton said, "Friendships are the stuff life is made of!"

"Not my life!" Thomas said, "What are friends? Just people to betray you in the end!"

Peyton's heart dropped. She could not believe what she was hearing.

"Surely you don't really believe that?" Peyton said, saddened by Thomas's remark.

"Yes. I do. What does it matter?" Thomas replied.

"Thomas, you weren't always this paranoid of people, were you?" Peyton guessed.

"No. Now could you please leave me alone?" Thomas said.

"Tell me what's going on," Peyton said, "Please let me in."

"No," Thomas said, "Now please leave. I don't trust you or the rest of my team."

Peyton walked off, feeling sad about Thomas. What traumatic event could have caused him to feel the way he did?

Peyton walked to the dining room.

"Hey," Jared greeted his teammate, "He ain't coming out?"

"No," Peyton responded.

"I'll get him to join us!" Jared gave an evil grin and rolled his sleeves up.

"Don't," Peyton said, "You'll only worsen his condition."

"He's not much of a teammate," Lucas said, "We should get rid of him next."

"No!" Peyton said, "He needs help. When he walks into this room, we have to show him our support."

"I only support my Jared," Kellie snuggled up next to the Australian boy.

Sydney shrugged, "One time, I played a psychiatrist. I had to ask 'now how does that make you feel?' to the lead. It was really annoying to the audience!"

"Um...ok," Peyton said, "Say, has anybody seen Claire?"

"No," Eric said, "She hasn't been here all night."

"Um, I'm going to go find her," Peyton said.

The overachiever in question was still by the lake. She and Ted were leaning on a tree, asleep, with her leaning on his shoulder.

"Aww," Peyton cooed.

Peyton's presence woke the two contestants.

"What?" Ted said, "You...you're not supposed to be here!"

"Relax, I won't tell anyone you're dating someone on our team," Peyton said.

"We're not dating," Claire said, "We're just...uh...hanging out! Honest!"

"Uh...yeah," Ted said, "We just met each other!"

"You two protest too much," Peyton said, "You can tell me if you're together. I promise I won't tell anyone!"

"Ugh, alright," Ted said, "Claire and I are..."

"We're getting to know each other better," Claire said in a matter-of-fact way, "Since we're on different teams, we don't get a chance to talk much."

"Then why were you two alone, huh?" Peyton asked.

"Because if the other Lions knew I was socializing with a member of the Tigers, I'd be kicked off for sure," Ted said, "I don't think Drake and Daiskue are too tolerant of that sort of stuff."

"And I didn't want Eric getting involved in this," Claire said, "He'd be pretty annoying if he knew one of us was actually hanging out with a member of the opposite sex."

"Yeah, I suppose," Peyton said, "Shippers like that can be kind of irritating."

"Great," Ted said, "So you understand and you won't tell my team?"

"Yes," Peyton said, "Your secret's safe with me."

"And Claire, this relationship doesn't apply in the competition. I will go just as hard on you as I will everyone else."

"Same," Claire said, "I came to win here."

"Good, then there will be no problems," Peyton said, "You might want to join your teams again. I think our challenge is going to start soon."

"Um, yeah," Ted said, "Not one word about this to my team, got it?"

The girls nodded.

Ted headed to the campground by the jungle (the mighty jungle) where the Lions slept that night.

"Where were you last night?" Daiskue asked.

"I was out by the lake, fishing," Ted replied.

"Cool!" Draden said, "I could get a fire going. What'd you catch?"

"Oh, I didn't catch anything," Ted said. He wasn't expecting to have to expand on his lie, "But I got this giant fish on my line that must've been this big!" Ted held out his arms to make his point.

"But let me guess," Dennis said, "The big fish got away and you don't have any pictures of him."

"But, Dennis, that's sexist to assume the fish was male!" Ted said in a falsetto voice to sound like Emma.

The four boys shared a laugh.

"Thank God we do not have to deal her anymore," Daiskue said.

"Yeah," Draden agreed, "Without her, we'll be back at that hotel in no time!"

"Contestants!" Chris's voice blared, "Get into your swimsuits! It's time for another challenge!"

"Ugh, killjoy," Dennis said, "Oh well, think Allie wears a bikini?"

"Dennis, you imbecile," Ted jokingly slugged the short kid in the arm.

"But, seriously?" Dennis asked, "What are my chances with her on a scale of one to ten?"

"One," Ted, Daiskue and Draden said in unison.

"One is bigger than zero, so there's a chance!" Dennis said.

"Yeah," Ted said, "a chance that she'll develop amnesia and forget about how stupid you are! Then you might be able to make it with her."

Ted, Draden and Daiskue laughed at Dennis in a good-natured way.

Chris and the contestants stood at the top of a high cliff overlooking a pool of water.

"Today's challenge will be threefold," Chris said, "The first challenge is easy! All you have to do is jump off this 100-meter cliff into the water below. But beware, because there's no safe zone! And you might want to climb out quick, because this lake is full of alligators!"

When the contestants gasped, Jared tried to calm them down.

"It's ok, mates, Alligators don't attack people unless provoked."

"Yeah," Chris said, "Which is why we're having you dive 100 meters down, make a huge splash and provoke them!"

"This can't be legal!" Allie cried.

"It's totally legal!" Chris said, "Y'all signed contracts, remember? Now, Lions, since you lost the last challenge, you'll be diving first! Anyone who can't bring themselves to dive will be out of the challenge!"

"Anyone want to go first?" Dennis asked his teammates.

"Well, I guess I've lived a full enough life," Ted said. He got a running start and jumped into the water, making a huge splash. He quickly swam away from the alligators and climbed out of the lake.

"Yeah!" Ted pumped his fist, "Adrenaline! Woohoo! Who's next?"

Draden jumped into the water in a cannonball, making a huge splash that washed the alligators away so he could swim to safety.

"It's just a suicide jump," Allie said, "100 meters down into a pool of alligators. I've done worse, right?" Allie held her nose and closed her eyes and allowed herself to jump off the cliff. She quickly swam to the side, as the alligators gave suit.

"If the blonde could do it, I could do it," Dennis said, getting a running start, "I'm coming for you beautiful!" Dennis screamed as he fell down into the pool.

CONFESSIONAL: ALLIE

"Is it bad that I kind of wanted the alligator to bite him? Not enough to kill him, just enough to startle him enough to stop hitting on me!"

END CONFESSIONAL

Dennis plunged into the lake, but his light weight made a small disturbance in the lake. The small boy got out without a scratch on him.

"Um...I'm not sure I can do this," Melvin said, peering down the edge of the cliff.

"Yes, you can!" Drake said, pushing the nerd off. He landed with a belly flop and passed out from the pressure. The gators swam around his feeble body. One decided to take an exploratory bite out of his arm.

"I'll save you!" Claire said, jumping off the cliff, into the water, executing a graceful dive into the water, picking up Melvin in one arm and getting him safely to the shore.

CONFESSIONAL: CLAIRE

"I'm a lifeguard at the pool back home. I've never had a save before, but I'm fairly competent in what to do."

CONFESSIONAL: MELVIN

"Was that Claire who saved my life? I'll have to thank her later...but isn't she on the other team?"

END CONFESSIONAL

"That was a bit premature," Chris shrugged, "but if we lost Melvin, there probably would've been lawsuits, so I suppose Claire gets credit for the jump."

The rest of the tigers cheered for Claire. Even Ted smiled a little. Luckily, the rest of the Lions did not catch it.

"Dang," Drake said, "I was kind of hoping he'd be eaten. Eh, they probably wouldn't go for him. He's too bony."

"Excuse me?" Draden said to the bully and began to climb the cliff to try and get to him.

Drake got scared of the muscle-bound teen and ran down the cliff. Draden picked up the bully, ran him to the top of the cliff and tossed the screaming heap of delinquent off into the alligator-infested lake.

"F*** you!" Drake cursed at Draden as he climbed onto land.

"What?" Draden smiled, "You survived, didn't you?"

"You know what?" Drake snarled, "Get over here!"

Draden held up a fist and the bully, not wanting to get hurt, desisted.

CONFESSIONAL: DRADEN

"I ain't a fighter, but I can intimidate him enough to make him stop being a jerk, so..."

CONFESSIONAL: DRAKE

"Draden's a scary guy. I could run this show if I could somehow get rid of the little turd. But people don't like me here, so I don't think I can get them all to vote him off. Oh well. I'll find a way!"

END CONFESSIONALS

"Well, I'd better get this over with," Angie said, taking a leap off of the cliff. When she landed in the water, she easily avoided the gators and clambered out of the lake.

Daiskue jumped as well.

Sophia jumped off the cliff without screaming or even opening her mouth.

Only Gregory remained at the top of the cliff. He peered down at the gaping mouths of the carnivorous reptiles.

"You can do it!" Angie said to her teammate.

"I'm going to die here," Gregory said, "I'm going to freaking die!"

"It's alright," Angie said, "Go when you're ready!"

"Um, no," Chris said, "This is a half-hour show. You have thirty seconds to jump before I disqualify you."

Gregory took a deep breath and hurled himself over the cliff. The alligators circled around, waiting for an easy meal, but Gregory actually hit the ground next to the lake.

"Ouch!" Chris winced, "That's gonna leave a mark!"

"Gregory, are you alright?" Angie asked.

"Ouch," was all Gregory could get out. His bone was sticking out of his leg.

"Yikes," Angie said, disturbing her normally calm demeanor.

"Is it bad?" Gregory asked.

"Um..." Angie debated whether to tell the truth.

"That's pretty bad!" Chris said, "Get him to the medical tent, quick!"

COMMERCIAL BREAK!

Who should appear besides Rich Moneyman! The pitchman smiled at the camera showing off his pearly whites to the audience.

"Have you ever wanted a truly low-maintenance pet? A pet that does all the work of taking care of it? Well, then, buy one of my awesome new bee farms! Now, anyone can be a beekeeper with one of these cool new products!" Rich Moneyman held up a jar filled with buzzing insects, "All you have to do is unscrew the lid on the jar and..." As Rich Moneyman unscrewed the lid of the jar, the bugs buzzed out of the container and swarmed around him.

"AAAH!" Rich Moneyman screamed as he darted around getting stung many times by the ticked-off bees.

To order the amazing bee farm complete with a thousand honey-making bees, call the number on screen. The amazing bee farm costs $19.99 plus $9.99 shipping and handling (Don't tell anyone, but it only costs two bucks to ship it! We keep the rest for ourselves!). Order now! If you're one of the first 100 callers, we'll include a vial of bee venom antidote, so get it while it lasts!

BACK TO THE SHOW

"So, since Gregory missed the mark," Chris said, "the Lions have ten jumpers! That will be good in the next part of the challenge. Time for the Tigers to take their dives! Claire already got credit for hers, so now it's time to see how many more of you are brave enough (or crazy enough) to jump!"

Thomas looked down at the water below, "I don't know if I could do this," he said.

"Remember," Manny said, "The longer you stay here with us, the easier it is for one of us to shank you!"

This coaxed the paranoid teen to jump, screaming.

"That wasn't very nice," Peyton scowled at Manny.

"What?" Manny shrugged, "We got him to do it."

"But taking advantage of his worst fear?" Peyton said, "It's not right!"

"Whatever, girl," the rocker said, "You wanna go or should I?"

"I'll go," Peyton said, wanting to set an example for her team, "Hold on." Peyton positioned herself over the cliff and dived down, making no splash. The alligators didn't even sense her presence. Then she quickly swam up to the shore.

"Hey, Peyton," Thomas said, "Um...you're a really good swimmer."

Peyton smiled, "Aw, thank you!"

CONFESSIONAL: PEYTON

"Well this is good. The boy's opening up. I think that when he learns how to trust us, he'll be a really valuable player. And maybe a good friend...and maybe even...no, I don't think so..."

CONFESSIONAL: THOMAS

"So...Peyton...No! I can't let my guard down! She probably just wants to seduce me so she can get whatever she wants from me! Then she's going to have me voted off and I'll look like a stupid fool!"

END CONFESSIONALS

Manny jumped off the cliff, shouting and cheering.

Sydney acted as a professional diver and managed to do some amazing tricks on her descent.

Lucas jumped off the cliff, screaming, "For Tattoine!" He made a huge splash upon impact that knocked some of the alligators away.

"I'm scared," Kellie confessed, clinging to Jared, "Can you go down first?"

"Um...I suppose," Jared shrugged.

"And could you, maybe, hold down one of those alligators so it doesn't bite me?"

Jared smiled in a cocky way, "Let's do it mates!" He took off his hat and jumped into the water. When he landed in the pond, he used his hands to hold the alligator's jaws shut, "Go ahead, Kellie!" he screamed.

"I don't know if I can," Kellie said. She closed her eyes and jumped, hitting the water and almost landing on Jared. The two exited the water together.

"Thank you so much Jared," Kellie said, "You're so strong!"

CONFESSIONAL: KELLIE

"I wasn't really scared. I was just testing him to see if he'd be a good ally. Although, it was nice of him to hold the alligator's jaws together for me..."

END CONFESSIONAL

Eric was also brave enough to jump off the cliff.

"There's no way I'm doing that," Hanna said, "We're on national TV and I am not going to let my makeup run on camera!"

"You don't have to," Chris said, "But you're disqualified from the challenge if you don't. And the last part of the challenge will require as many people as possible. So you're team might be a little PO'ed if you don't jump."

"Come on Hanna!" Peyton cheered.

"You can do it!" Claire added.

"No! You don't understand because you're not beautiful like I am!" Hanna said, "I'm not going!" she flicked her hair and walked down the other end of the cliff.

"OK then," Chris said, "but you're out of the challenge!"

"Good! I didn't want to participate in this stupid challenge!" Hanna strutted off.

"Not bad, guys!" Chris said to the contestants, "Not bad at all! Only one loser on either team! But this challenge will surely eliminate more people! Follow me!"

The contestants followed Chris, not knowing what awaited them and probably not wanting to know.

Chris led the contestants to the lake, where a hippopotamus sat in the water, floating and sleeping.

"Alright!" Chris said, "For challenge part two, you have to ride Henry the bucking hippo!"

"That's it?" Drake said, "Ride a lazy, fat hippo?"

"No, Drake," Allie said, "Hippos are extremely dangerous. they kill more people than any other animal in Africa!"

"Yeah, sure, blondie," Drake scoffed.

"All you have to do to advance to the next round," Chris said, "is ride Henry the bucking hippo for ten seconds. If he shakes you off before then, you're out of this challenge! Any questions?"

"No," Drake said, "come here, you fat, stupid hippo."

Henry the bucking hippo opened one eye and grunted in a way that sounded like a laugh at the bully.

Drake ran up to the hippo and jumped on his back. The hippo, startled, bucked him off and kicked the bully in the face, dislodging a tooth. (from Drake. The hippo was unfazed).

"And, that's zero seconds for Drake! You're out!" Chris smiled, "Who's next?"

"I suppose I'll go," Peyton approached Henry the bucking hippo and jumped on his back. When the hippo started to buck and pitch, Peyton held on with a steady hand. She lasted for ten seconds.

"And Peyton lasts long enough to move onto the next round! Who's next?"

"Watch this!" Ted yelled to his teammates as he jumped onto the hippo's back. He also made ten seconds on the hippo.

"Me next!" Allie said. She managed to ride the hippo for ten seconds as well.

Melvin, to nobody's surprise was thrown off Henry the bucking hippo.

Draden, to nobody's surprise held on to Henry the bucking hippo.

"Watch this!" Jared jumped onto the hippo's back as it started to attempt to shake him off. Jared decided to be cocky and even stood up on the hippo. Then he stood on his hands while on the hippo. Then he proceeded to do an ancient Australian dance while on the hippo.

"Okay," Chris said, "You passed your challenge five minutes ago! Stop showing off and let somebody else have a turn to get injured!"

"Alright, mate!"

CONFESSIONAL: JARED

"That was nothing! Once, while vacationing in Burundi, the boat I was in got capsized by a big, angry hippo, so I jumped off the boat and had the hippo take me to shore! What a nice ungulate he was!"

END CONFESSIONAL

"Alright!" Sydney shouted, "Time to get into character! I'm a hippo rider! A cowgirl, but only on hippopotami? hippopotamuses? hippopotapeople? Geez, what is the plural for 'hippopotamus?' Anyways, here I come!"

Sydney held on for ten seconds, which was enough to pass her.

The rest of the Tigers, save for Eric and Lucas held onto the hippo for ten seconds.

All of the Lions, save for Drake and Melvin, were able to hang on to Henry the bucking hippo for the needed time.

"Ok, so we've eliminated a few people here, so that's good!" Chris said, "Just what will it take to break the rest of you? Find out after the break!"

"And we're back!" Chris stood in the center of a large platform that extended out of a pool. The Tigers were to his left. The Lions were to his right.

"Challenge part three!" Chris announced, "You have to use metal rods and knock every member of the other team off of this five-story platform and into the water below. The team that loses all its members will be sending somebody home tonight!"

"Meh, doesn't sound that bad," Dennis shrugged.

"Oh, thanks for reminding me," Chris said to the shorter boy. He took a remote out of his pocket and pressed a button. The water started bubbling. Steam rose into the air.

"Now, the water is boiling hot!" Chris sneered, "You really don't want to go in there!"

Everyone glared at Dennis.

"Three, two, one, go!"

The teams charged at each other.

CONFESSIONAL: PEYTON

"I wish that Drake was still in this challenge. I'd love to knock him into boiling water for the passes he made at me!"

END CONFESSIONAL

Sydney ran up to Ted, but he was fast. Ted jumped out of the way and swept Thomas off his feet. He then kicked Thomas off the platform and he became the first victim.

Dennis whacked Sydney off her feet, but she quickly recovered, jumped up and roundhouse kicked the short boy, sending him off the platform.

Daiskue used his marshal artistry and wielded his steel rod like a bo-staff, sending Lucas to splash down in the water below.

Jessica, seeing Draden nearby, got distracted from the competition and was knocked off the platform by Sydney. Draden knocked Sydney off while she stopped to gloat about her attack.

Allie managed to down Jared, but Kellie launched a sneak attack and sent the blonde hurdling down.

On the other edge of the platform, Sophia dueled with Manny. The former delivered a stab to his gut, but Manny was ruthless. He withstood the blow and delivered one to Sophia's head. The stoic girl ducked upon being swept with the rod. and kicked Manny in the crotch with her boot. The rocker doubled over in pain and with a swift jab to the head, he went down.

Ted and Peyton dueled as well, both of them giving each other cocky grins.

"You're a swimmer, right?" Ted taunted, "Then you'll be right at home in the water!"

"Oh, good one!" Peyton rolled her eyes, "You spend the day coming up with that one?"

"Hey, nothing personal when I do this," Ted said.

"Do what?" Peyton asked.

"This," Ted smacked his rod into her face, knocking her off the platform.

"You didn't!" Claire yelled at Ted.

"I did," Ted said in a cocky way.

"You know I'll have to knock you off to win, right?"

"But do you have the guts to knock me off, sweetie?" Ted jabbed Claire with the rod.

"Yes, I do, 'sweetie,'" Claire hit Ted.

While Ted and Claire talked trash to each other, Draden, the only other player left, charged the perfectionist girl. Claire leaped out of the way and struck Draden hard enough to push him away, but he was heavy enough to stay on the platform

"Come on," Ted taunted Claire, "Make a move!"

Claire Jabbed Ted in the chest, dropped her rod and charged him, knocking him off the platform into the boiling water below. Big mistake. Seeing Claire without her rod, Draden charged into Claire and she suffered the same hot fate.

"Team Simba Hatari wins the challenge!" Chris announced, "Daravana Bagha! Time to vote somebody off!"

It was not a fun time for the Daravana Bagha (The Tigers).

"So who are we getting rid of this time?" Jared asked

"I don't think we should discuss who we're voting for," Peyton said, "It's kind of a personal choice, right?"

"Whatever," Hanna said, "I just can't believe we have to sleep in that cursed forest again!"

"Well, you didn't do much to help out, Sheila," Jared said, "You refused to jump just because you didn't want to get your hair wet. Pretty weenie if you ask me."

"Are you kidding me?" Hanna said, "It could be much, much worse! Look at Peyton! She got distracted while on the platform!"

"At least I made it to that part of the challenge," Peyton cried, "Claire, what do you think?" Peyton turned to her friend.

"I...I don't know," Claire said, "I'm surprised you haven't talked about voting me off. I screwed up big time up there. I got cocky."

"Great idea!" Hanna said, "We can vote Claire off! She doesn't seem to mind!"

"Really? Am I leaving this early?" Claire's eyes went wide.

"No," Peyton said, "We're not voting you off for a little mistake. Besides, I don't want to separate you so from him so early," Peyton winked.

"Who's him?" Eric said, "Is it Manny? I could totally see you two together! It would be adorable!"

"Um...no," Claire said sheepishly, glaring at Peyton. Peyton gave Claire a guilty look as if to say "sorry."

"I'll vote for Peyton," Thomas said to Hanna, "She's been trying to be all buddy-buddy with me! I swear, she's trying to kill me!"

"I'm not going to kill you," Peyton put her hands up, "Can't you read between the lines? I happen to like you! I see through your paranoia and I like what I see. I want to be you're friend!"

"Why? So you can lead me to my death?" Thomas said.

"You know what? Fine!," Peyton said, "Vote me off! See if I care!"

"If you say so," Hanna shrugged, walking to the confessional to cast her vote.

CONFESSIONAL: PEYTON

*She's tearing up* "I didn't anticipate having this hard a time in the competition. I suppose it isn't the end of the world if I'm voted off this early." *She smiles slightly*

"Peyton smiled as her torch was lit."

"What?" Hanna shrieked, "I lost already? I can't believe it! You all suck! I'm actually happy about this! I'm sick of this crappy island! Goodbye!" Hanna stormed off.

"No, no, no!" Chris said, "You leave the same way as everyone else, through the Toss of Shame!"

Hanna was loaded into the giant slingshot.

"But that's facing the water!" Hanna shrieked, "My makeup will run! My hair will get messed up!"

"Yeah," Chris shrugged, "You really didn't think this through!"

"No! Don't do it! I...WAAAAHHHHH!"

MEANWHILE AT THE SPA HOTEL:

"Man it is nice to be back here!" Draden said to his team.

"Yeah!" Melvin high-fived the muscle man

Drake really wanted to punch Melvin, but he was sitting next to Draden, so it was a no-go.

"Does anyone know what happened to Gregory?" Angie asked, sounding concerned.

"Yeah," Draden said, "He'll be fine. I saw him in the medical tent. They were able to fix his leg."

"Well, that's good!" Jessica smiled.

"Yeah," Angie agreed, "That's a good thing."

"Do any of you know where Ted is?" Daiskue asked.

"No," Draden said, "He hasn't been around here today. I wonder where he could be."

Said cutthroat boy was in the forest, by the lake.

"No hard feelings about the challenge, right?" Claire asked Ted.

"Are you kidding?" Ted asked, incredulous, "I've never been more in love with you!"

"Really?" Claire's eyes widened, "Because I did push you into the boiling water."

"You did what you had to do to win," Ted said, "We both agreed that this relationship wouldn't interfere with the competition, right?"

"Yeah, but, I...I can't help but feel guilty."

"Don't." Ted said, "We're still together. I still adore you."

"You...you adore me?"

Ted sighed, "Listen, Claire. I'm no romantic. I don't really know what love is. It's just...it's just an emotion to me and I don't really understand emotions," He confessed, "That being said, I feel pretty close to you. I really like being around you. I, you know..."

"Have feelings for me?" Claire finished his sentence.

Ted looked at the ground. He wasn't used to talking like this.

"Yes," He said, "Yes. I have feelings for you."

"I understand," Claire smiled, "I love you to."

"Whoa, slow down speed racer," Ted said in control again, "Love? We met each other three days ago. 'Love' is a little strong of a word."

"Ok," Claire said, giving an eye roll, "I like you."

"And I like you, too," Ted said, grabbing Claire's hand.
