Thanks to HGranger89, my beta reader, and thanks to Knifez, Metal face, wacky620, Chloe, qazse and dm4487 for the positive feedback.
"Last time on Total Drama Island, the campers squared off in a talent show, and Bridgette's mad surfer skills earned her team the win. Heather shocked everyone by reading Gwen's diary to the entire viewing world, and then further shocked everyone by saving herself from elimination, sending LeShawna home ."
*** Intro ***
The camera opened to the bonfire where the campers gathered around and took their seats as Chris came out to greet them.
"Campers, today's challenge is going to be the hardest yet. I'm not going to lie to you; some of you may not come back alive." Many campers gasped at Chris' comment. "Hehe, just kidding. All you have to do is spend one night in the woods. All you need is at your campsite in the woods. You just have to find it first."
Chris pulled out two maps and compasses from a backpack and tossed them to Heather and Duncan.
"A night in the woods? That's easy, eh." Ezekiel replied, "Dad and I did this a lot back home."
Bridgette looked as though she been striked by a bot of lighting.
"Make sure to watch out for bears. Lost a few interns in pre-production. First team back for breakfast is saved from elimination."
"In other word, I hope you Bass enjoy your night together because it'll be the last time for one of you," Heather snickered as she mocked the opposing team.
"I don't think so!" Eva snapped back. "You're the ones who're going to be sending someone home!"
"I hope not," Owen sheepishly replied. "I like everyone here...I'm sad that we had to say goodbye to four great people."
"That toughing and all," Noah replied, "but we have a challenge to win here."
Chris pulled out an air horn and blew it, too began the challenge. The campers stood up and began to face into the woods.
As the Screaming Gophers walked to their camp, Gwen shoved passed Heather and roughly knocking her over.
"She's the next one to go," Heather spat.
"Who?" Trent asked.
"Who do you think? Weird Goth Girl!" Heather pointed in her direction, "she poured sewage on me!"
"So," Trent replied, "You did read her diary to the whole world, and voted off one for her friends!"
"SO?"
"So?" Trent added, "If you were a guy right now, I would have cracked one of your ribs!"
*** Confessional Trent ***
"Yeah, I know what I said was harsh, but can you blame me?."
*** Confessional Gwen ***
"I hope what Chris said was right about the bears," Gwen still visibly angry, "I might introduce prom queen to you. Might?"
*** Confessional Heather ***
"People are seriously not over what I did to Gwen and LeShawna," She folded her arms, "Get over it people we are here to win not make friends!"
*** Forest ***
The camera switched over to show the Killer Bass, walking to their campsite as Duncan leads, Katie and Sadie were at the end of the group.
"Look, Sadie!" Katie pointed to a bush of blueberries. "Look, blueberries!"
"I love blueberries!" Sadie said, the two girls stopped and began eating the sweet berries as their group continued walking, not realizing that they were leaving them behind. After a couple of minutes, the two girls noticed they were left behind and began to panic.
Meanwhile, the Screaming Gopher had arrived at their camp.
"Whoa, where's the food?" Heather asked.
"Well, Chris did say this was a survival challenge," Trent replied, "We'll have to find our own food."
"Oh well, no problem then. I can find food here, wait right here, guys. I'll have food in no time." Owen replied as he entered the forest to get food, the camera turned back to the Katie and Sadie who were still lost.
"This is all you're fault!" Sadie glared at Katie.
"My fault?"
"Yeah, it was your idea to eat the berries!" Sadie glared and began to walk in another direction.
"That's the wrong way!"
"You go your way! And I'll go my way!"
"Fine!" The two stormed off in different directions.
The camera returns to the very hungry looking Screaming Gophers. The Gophers continued to work on setting up camp. Noah and Cody had gotten a fire started and Izzy was just returning with some firewood. Trent and Gwen worked on setting up the tent.
"Sooooo hungry," Lindsay complained while holding her stomach.
"Hey, pizza delivery."
The Gophers turned around and were shocked to see a pizza guy holding a large pizza box in his hands.
"Over here, it's for the camera crew," the camera said while waving to the delivery boy.
"Ugh, how is that fair?" Heather asked.
Suddenly, Owen emerged through the trees holding a large pile of fish.
"I am man! I bring fish!" The Gopher members were delighted and crowed around Owen, Izzy took one of the fish and ate it raw.
"Owen, did you catch all these yourself?" Cody asked.
"Sure did, my grandfather taught me how. I even caught a shark once, and it bit my butt." Owen dropped his pants to show then, "see."
"NO!" Everyone excluding Izzy covered their eyes.
"Owen? Did you bring back anything else?" Heather asked, "I'm not eating fish."
"Yeah, me either," Noah replied.
"No one here is going to stop you from starving yourself," Gwen retorted, glared at Heather.
The camera then returns to the Bass, Duncan, Eva and Tyler are setting up a tent, well Duncan and Eva were, Tyler somehow managed to get his pants stuck in the tent peg when he hammered them in. Ezekiel and Bridgette were lighting the fire, while DJ and Geoff were tasked with finding food. Ezekiel was having a hard time focusing on anything but Bridgette.
"Whoa, you're good at that," Ezekiel said.
"Um, thanks?"
"Oh, I mean it's a good thing. I mean you're not like other girls, you remind me of my cousins; they don't mind getting dirty, eh."
"Uh, alright."
Duncan chuckled as the prairie boy didn't realize his compliment had failed, while Eva rolled her eyes.
As the Bass finished setting up camp, DJ and Geoff returned from foraging having found a weeping Katie.
"Man, finally. I'm starving," Duncan stated. "Get anything good?"
"We got some berries and fruit, and filled the canteens with water," DJ replied as Geoff was trying to comfort Katie.
"What's wrong," Bridgette walked over to Katie, she tried to explain by couldn't understand her through her weeping.
"Sadie is lost in the forest," Geoff replied, as he patted her back.
"We found her, calling out for Sadie," DJ explained.
"Well we have to find her," Bridgette spoke up determined, Katie looked up a wiped away a tear.
"Re-really you'll help?" Katie asked, and Bridgette nodded.
"Sure we will," Geoff replied, "If my best bro were lost, I would hope someone would help me."
"I'll help to0, eh!"
"Me, too," Tyler added.
"Fine!" Eva shrugged, "Just make it back before dark I don't want to lose this challenge!"
As the sun set, things were going much better for the Gophers. They had plenty of food, their fire was burning strongly. They were eating fish around the fire, as Owen finished telling a long story of how he killed a bear.
"There's no way you killed a bear!" Heather laughed incredulously.
"It's a true story; you should see how awesome its head looks up on our mantle."
"Izzy killed a bear once, with Izzy's bare hands, it was when Izzy had to camped out with a tribe of Eskimos in Siberia during Izzy fleet from the RCMP and learned to kill a bear and eat raw fish" Izzy smiled, then to prove her point, she once again took a bite out of a fish, much to everyone, excluding Owen's disgusted. "They even taught Izzy the surprise mating calls of the bear." Izzy began growling, and Owen joined her.
Trent brought out his guitar, soon began playing, "Anyone got any requests?" flashing Gwen a smile.
"Guys," Noah interjected, "I was thinking of how we can ensure we win the challenge tomorrow,"
"What's there to it? We wake up and get back to Chris," replied Cody.
"Well, since the tent is up and we finished eating, we should go ahead and get some sleep. That way, we can wake up early and make it back before the other team."
"That sounds like a great idea," Beth said, as the team nodded in agreement.
"At least I'm good for something," Noah said, the Gophers crawled into their tents, got comfy and went straight to sleep.
Meanwhile, Katie, Geoff, Tyler, Ezekiel and Bridgette were still out looking for Sadie.
"Okay, Katie try to think, when did you last see Sadie?" Tyler asked.
"Right here... I think. It's too dark to see clearly," Katie cried as Geoff tried to comfort her.
"It's okay," Geoff said softly, "Sadie is probably safe in a cave, or maybe she found her way back to camp?"
"Don't give up, before we even try, eh."
"It was so stupid, we had a silly little fight," Katie looked down with guilt.
"We all fight with our friends sometimes," Bridgette replied.
"Yeah, don't beat yourself up about it," Tyler smiled.
"Yeah, being sad doesn't help, eh."
"Th-Thanks," Katie' mind was panicking at all the horribles things that might happen to Sadie, "You didn't have to help."
"We couldn't let you just go alone," Geoff replied.
"Plus, we can find her quicker with more people," Ezekiel added.
It was beginning to get dark, and Ezekiel stumble backwards, tripping over some root, and suddenly he let out a sharp cry just and fell in a pile of leaves. Ezekiel grabbed his legs, eyes closed in pain, just as they heard a low hissing sound, Tyler shined a flashlight and saw a snake tail slither away into the forest.
Bridgette knelt down and crawled towards him as he clutched his leg, breathing deeply. "Are you okay? Oh man -that thing bit you?" Ezekiel grimaced but didn't answer, "I left my first-aid kit back at camp. Just let me see how bad it is?" He drew back his leg just as Bridgette grabbed the cuff of his pant leg; he tried to get up on his own, shaking as he did but fell back down.
"Crap! Tyler help him up," Tyler ran over and used his strength to support Ezekiel's, he wasn't looking too good.
"Dude, not looking so hot," Geoff commented.
"Okay...Okay...Okay," Bridgette was thinking, "Geoff, stay with Katie and help her find Sadie, and Tyler, help me get Ezekiel back to camp."
They all nodded in agreement, as Ezekiel shaking his head.
"NOO! I'm fine!" Ezekiel was trembling, trying to show them he was okay.
"No, you're not!" Bridgette replied and went over to Ezekiel and supported his side as Tyler did the same and nodded back to Geoff and Katie as they made their way back to camp.
The remaining Bass team were sitting around the campfire as Duncan was telling ghost stories. DJ was in a fetal position, while Eva was unimpressed.
"And when she got to the car, there was a hook!"
"Wha...What happened?" DJ asked, shaking.
"No...one knows, some say the killer died, some say he haunts these very woods. He could even be...Right here!" Duncan brought up his hand, which now had a hook on it. DJ leaped into Eva's arms, who immediately dropped him like a rock.
"DJ stop being a wimp!" Eva comment as suddenly Tyler and Bridgette returned with an injured Ezekiel.
"Did you find her?" DJ asked; then he noticed Ezekiel and the gentle giant grew concerned, "Is he okay?"
"Zeke got bit me a snake, Geoff and Katie are out there looking for Sadie," Tyler replied.
"You still haven't found her?" Eva asked, suddenly realizing how she acted, she continued, "Not that I care or anything."
When Bridgette and Tyler set Ezekiel down by the fire, they were shocked to see how pale he looked, his face almost pure white tinged with a sickly green, he was sweating and trembling slowly; his right eye was twitching and then suddenly he collapsed again. Bridgette checked out the bite, finding it swollen, red and bulging.
Bridgette began panicking, putting her hands over her head to think, "Okay...Okay...Tyler bring me my pack." Tyler immediately did as he was asked and returned her pack. Bridgette rooted through it, finding her first-aid kit and began rubbing some lotion on Ezekiel's swollen lump. "Okay, okay, that should keep the swelling down," she then took some pills and tried to make Ezekiel swallow them, "and that should help slow down any infection."
"Alright so..." Tyler was cut off early by a roar coming from the woods.
"What was that?" DJ asked, nervously looking in all directions.
"Sounded like a bear," Eva responded.
"Chris did say there were bears out here," Bridgette added.
"So, we'll just leave Zeke here and run," Duncan chuckled, as his team glared, "God, learn to take a joke."
Suddenly, a large grizzly bear walked into the campsite; the Bass members eyes grew wide at the sight.
"RUN!" DJ yelled as the Bass ran, Bridgette and Tyler struggled to move Ezekiel as his whole body was limp and he moaned in agony as they tried to move him. DJ launched at them and threw the teen over his shoulders. DJ and the rest of the team tried to run from the bear when DJ tripped over a rock. The beast towered over DJ and Ezekiel, the large teen closed his eyes tight and waited for the end, as the bear began laughing.
Everyone was taken by surprised as the beast pulled off its head, revealing Izzy, laughing. DJ clenched his chest and was gasping for air.
"What the f##k!?" Eva snarled, eyes full of murder while Duncan and Tyler held her back, "What kind of sick twisted psychopath are you!"
"That was so much fun, Izzy totally got you guys good." She smiled and soon turn to Ezekiel, who was moaning in grunts.
"What happened to Zekey?" Izzy asked.
"Got bit by a snake," Bridgette replied after her heartbeat returned to normal.
"Cool. Izzy loves snakes, Izzy has ten at home, what kind was it?"
"Of course the crazy girl has snakes," Eva mumbled.
"It was too dark to see. All we know is that it bit him, and now he's really hurt." Tyler replied.
"Really?" Izzy almost sound surprised like that getting bit was by a snake was a bad thing, "Snakes gives Izzy kisses all the time, and nothing happened to Izzy." She walked over and smiled with childish wonder at it, and poke the swollen lump, causing Ezekiel to moan in pain and agony.
"Izzy, go and bother your own team," Bridgette glared, getting annoyed by her presence.
"Okay," Izzy threw a smoke bomb at the ground and disappeared into the night.
"So, hows is the dorky redneck doing?" Duncan asked, causing Bridgette to glare at him.
"He should be okay, I've stopped the swelling the best I could, but he needs some better meds back at camp. We should leave now, waiting till morning could make him worse."
The team agreed to start making their way back to camp; DJ picking Ezekiel up to carry him, making the teen groan. "Hopefully Katie, Geoff and Sadie will be there."
The teens were making there way back to camp, and Bridgette sang softly to Ezekiel.
"Never mind the darkness.
Never mind the storm.
Never mind the blood red moon.
The night will be over soon.
The night will be over soon."
The camera then cut to the forest again where Katie and Geoff were calling out for Sadie.
"This my fault!" Katie said, "Sadie is lost, and Ezekiel got hurt because of me."
"Don't say that, " Geoff replied, "We'll find Sadie and Ezekiel will be fine, alright?"
As then continued searching, they could hear a faint sound up ahead. Katie smiled and ran ahead with Geoff following her as they came across a cave where Sadie was.
"Sadie!"
"Katie?" The two friends joined into a big hug.
"I'm so sorry," Katie replied, holding her friend tightly.
"It's okay," Sadie smiled.
"Oh, Sadie, Geoff helped me find you," Katie said, "So did Bridgette, Tyler and Ezekiel, but Ezekiel got bit by a snake."
"That sounds scary," Sadie replied.
"There's nothing we can do right now," Geoff added, "Seems pretty safe inside this cave. We should stay here tonight and make a break back to camp at first light."
The girls nodded in agreement, and they fell asleep.
The camera cuts to the next day, Chris was standing in front of the bonfire awaiting the campers' arrival. The Killer Bass arrived first, excluding Katie, Sadie and Geoff.
"Chris, Ezekiel needs the infirmary now!" Bridgette called as she walked over, with DJ carrying a seriously looking sick Ezekiel. He looked pale as a ghost and was trembling.
"He looks fine to me, shake it off man," Chris said to Ezekiel.
"Chris he needs medical attention now!" Bridgette yelled, shaking her fist, surprising everyone by her outburst.
"Okay," Chris shrugged, "Take him to Chef, dude was army vet or something." DJ threw Ezekiel over his shoulder and dashed to the mess hall, followed by Bridgette.
DJ burst through to the kitchen where Chef was asleep in a chair mumbling about getting those damn kids and Chris one day while swinging a butcher knife around. "Damn kids, it's not lunchtime! Get the hell out!"
"It's Ezekiel," Bridgette replied as DJ sat him down in a chair.
"What happened?"
"He was bitten by a snake," DJ answered.
"Was it a big one or a small one?" Ezekiel moaned loudly.
"I didn't see it," Bridgette replied, holding Ezekiel' arm, his face contorted with great pain.
"What color was it?" Ezekiel clenched his chest, looking as though he was about to pass out.
"I didn't see it!"
"Did it have stripes or spots..."
Bridgette was losing her cool and screamed, "Just do something!"
"Fine," Chef walked over to a cabinet and returned with some pills, "Here take one every two hours." Chef then brought over a freakishly large needle, and Ezekiel's eyes widened. "This will only hurt... a lot!" Chef smirked, and Ezekiel let out a loud moan and passed out. Ezekiel's skin color was slowly returning back to normal much to Bridgette and DJ's delight.
Meanwhile back at the bonfire, the Screaming Gophers came running to Chris in full speed and stood next to Chris in disappointment, as they saw the Bass beat them.
"We lost?" Heather asked and glared at her team.
"Actually, Heather, you won!" Chris commented, just as Geoff, Katie and Sadie returned.
"WHAT!" Eva cracked her knuckles.
"Well, all the Gophers made it back before ALL of your team made it," Chris commented, the Gopher cheered as the Bass looked in disappointment.
*** Elimination Ceremony ***
The Bass were gathered around the fire, with Ezekiel looking much better.
"You know the drill if I call your name you're safe. The first person safe from elimination is Bridgette."
Bridgette smiled and took her marshmallow.
"Next is Ezekiel and Tyler!" The two high five, after Ezekiel finally understood what it was.
"You're looking better, Ezekiel." Bridgette smiled.
"Th...Thanks...um... You look better, too, eh." Ezekiel blushed, as Bridgette just smiled.
"Geoff and DJ," The two fist-bumped and joined the others, and Katie smiled as Geoff took his marshmallow.
"Eva and Duncan!" The delinquent and the athlete just gave a blank expression.
"Sadie and Katie, this is the last marshmallow of the evening." The two friends embrace each other in a tight death grip, knowing that they'll be soon apart.

"Katie. Sadie, I'm sorry, but it's time to go."
"No, don't eliminate Sadie; she deserves to be here more," Katie pleaded.
"Don't say that Katie, you can do this. You can survive without me." Sadie assured putting a hand to her friend's shoulder."Listen, it will be okay; you have to stay and fight hard for the both of us. I know it will be tough, but I believe in you. "
Katie looked at Sadie with teary eyes as Sadie also began tearing up.
"Ok."
Finally, after a few minutes, Katie and Sadie let go of one another, and Sadie took her trip down the dock of shame, where Katie followed to see her off. She boarded the boat of losers and waved goodbye to her friend. Katie weakly waved back, tears streaming down their faces, as the boat finally left port, separating the two.
"I miss you already," Katie yelled.
"I miss you more," Sadie yell back before disappearing through the horizon.
