Disclaimer I don't own Total Drama.
Writers Notes:Thanks to HGranger89 beta, and thanks to Knifez and WeirdAlfan101 for the review. Is it just me, or is it depressing that no one cared that Ezekial turned feral in the show and Dakota turned into mutant? Not even good nature characters like Owen, DJ, Cody, Gwen, Bridgette, Geoff.
"Last time on Total Drama Island: Our remaining campers took a canoe trip to Boney Island. Our campers were chased by monster beavers, got trapped in quicksand and escaped a forest fire. Cody hit on Gwen a billion times, and Izzy burnt down Boney Island. I knew that girl was crazy, but I didn't know she was a pyromaniac. In the elimination ceremony, Heather had her alliance eliminate Trent and pin it on Cody. Who will be eliminated next? Will Gwen learn the truth; and is keeping Izzy here a good idea? Tune in on today episode of Total Drama Island."
*** Intro ***
The camera opens up to an overshoot of the island, showing viewers that Boney Island was still on fire and firefighters were sent in planes to airdrop gallons of water to help extinguish the flames. Back on the island, Chris was standing on the theatre stage from the talent show. He plugged in a guitar to giant speakers, cracked the volume up high and began to play it, sending sounds waves to the cabins.
In the Bass boy's cabin, the loud noise caused everyone to jolt up from their sleep, Tyler's ears were ringing so loudly he couldn't hear anything.
"Dudes... Dudes...I think my ears are broken." He ran over to Geoff, Ezekiel, and DJ
The gentle giant noticed that Ezekiel was whittling.
"What are you doing?"
Ezekiel looked and grinned, "Hey DJ, just working a little gift, eh." Ezekiel revealed a wood carving.
"What are you making?" DJ smiled, "and who is it for?"
"Well, I'm not finished, but I'm going to give it to Bridgette." the prairie boy smiled, why Geoff looked concerned, Tyler flashed a smile.
"Look, I don't think she is going to like that."
"Why not? My parents always told me the best gifts are homemade," Ezekiel told him with a confused look.
"Gifts like that are too soon; they could scare her off." DJ sat down on the prairie's boy bed. "You have to start small, you know talk to her. She has to be comfortable with you. You know simple stuff things like comment on her natural beauty, her surfer skills. You get what I'm saying."
"I think I do."
*** Confessional DJ ***
"I was honest with Ezekiel, a gift like that is too soon." Looks down at his feet deep in thought, "Geoff is a great guy, and nice friend and Zeke is also a nice guy. I'm worried about the dynamic of the team if they start fighting over a girl."
*** Camp Grounds ***
In the Bass girls' cabin, Eva's eyes open and she had a glare of murder in them; taking deep breathes to calm herself down.
"I hate him so much!" Katie tried to cover her ears with a pillow, along with Bridgette, who gently petted the bunny that she and Ezekiel saved from Boney Island.
Over with the Gophers boys, Owen ran outdoor in his boxers, believing it was the dinner bell. Cody and Noah groaned and facepalmed neither of them ready for the day.
In the Gophers girls cabin, Gwen hit her head on the top bunk when she was woken up, "He's starting to get on my last nerve."
Izzy was still sleeping somehow manages to do so while hanging upside from the top bunk rail and Lindsay and Beth woke up.
Meanwhile, Heather let out a yawn and slowly made her way off her bed, only to be startled by Izzy, who was right in her face. The crazy redhead hung from the bottom of the bunk hovering above Heather's bed.
WAH! What the hell?!" Heather shrieked, backing up from Izzy, "What do you want psycho?"
"Izzy is looking for Nargles. Have you seen them?" Izzy asked.
"What the hell are Nargles? No, I didn't seem them! Now get out of my bed!" Heather demanded.
Izzy swung from the bunk above Heather's bed and landed on top of Gwen's bed, startling her. "What do you want, Izzy?" Gwen asked, annoyed.
"Izzy wants to know if Gwen is okay, after Trent being gone."
"No, not really," Gwen sighed.
"If you want Izzy can make sure Cody disappears forever, just like one of Izzy's exes," Izzy said, sounding strangely serious.
"No, Izzy that won't be necessary," she sighed sadly. Beth couldn't help but noticed the sadness on the goth girl's face.
*** Confessional Beth ***
"Since Trent was eliminated I've been thinking a lot lately. Sure don't get me wrong I would love the money, but I didn't want to hurt anyone. I'm starting to feel like the girl's back home that always picks on me. "
*** Cabin ***
"Whatever, he loves to ruin our mornings. Lindsay and Beth, go draw me a shower."
Beth looked at Heather perplexed.
"What?" Heather asked.
"That's demanding, don't you think?" Beth responded.
"I said, DRAW me a SHOWER!" Heather snarled, Beth and Lindsay nodded in fear and ran outside quickly. Gwen, watching the how thing just rolled her eyes.
*** Confessional Gwen ***
"Heather is taking those two for a ride, and it probably isn't going to end well for them. I feel bad for them. But now with Trent and LeShawna are gone I'm pretty much left with no one left. And Cody...My mother told me some guys would do anything to get to you. I didn't want to believe Cody was one of those kinds of guys, but after he got Trent eliminated, I know the type of guy he is. "
*** Camp Grounds ***
All the campers gathered around to the bonfire, where Chris greeted them. Noah's skin was still slightly burnt; he was glaring at Izzy.
"Noah," Owen smiled, "how's my little buddy?"
"I'll be fine," Noah grimaced as he sat down, "It'll hurt like hell for a week, but I'll have fun peeling it off then I have a nice tan for the rest of the summer."
Beth grumbled as she saw Cody, the poor teen didn't utter a single word to anyone since Trent was eliminated, he didn't even talk to Noah. Gwen was giving the teen death glares. She was still thinking over everything that had happened in her head over and over again. Helping Heather find Gwen's dairy, eliminating LeShawna when she did nothing wrong, allowing Cody to take the fall for Trent's elimination. All because she was couldn't stand up to Heather for fear of elimination. The heartbreak and pain she was causing... was it worth it?
*** Confessional Cody ***
The tech geek looked at the camera, he was about to speak, but he choked up.
*** Camp Grounds ***
"Camper, are you ready for today's challenge?"
"We. Are. ready!" Noah lazily pumped his hand in the air.
"Incoming!" Chris tossed a can of beans at Noah, which was caught by Owen before it could hit the bookworm's face.
"Watch it!" Noah yelled as Chris smiled and tossed out more cans of beans to everyone. Geoff caught one before it hit Bridgette's face and the two exchanged a smile. Another can hit Tyler and Cody in the groin; one hit Ezekiel in the head. Eva and Gwen caught there's, and Tyler tackled Lindsay as he attempted to catch it for her. Izzy just simply caught hers with her teeth.
"Here's breakfast." Chris smiled.
"A can of beans?" Heather glared at the can.
"A can of beans, it's probably the healthiest thing we've had all season." Noah said sarcastically
Owen was happily singing to himself as he already dug into his can of beans.
"Today's challenge, campers, is about survival. We're going hunting."
Bridgette cringed at the word hunting. Some of the campers, mainly Eva and Izzy, were excited. Chris then held up a green paintball gun, and he pointed at Noah's side and shot him.
"The F##K?" Noah let out a short grunt of pain, and fell to the ground, Owen helped him back up.
"So we won't be killing anything, right?" Bridgette asked.
"Nope, the network won't let us," Bridgette sighed with relief as Ezekiel patted her hand.
"Instead, some of you will be the deer, while the others will be hunters!"
Noah gulped for the first time, he was thankful Izzy was on his team.
"So, then, the hunters for the Killer Bass are Geoff, Katie and Tyler." Chris tossed red paintball guns to the three of them.
"WHAT," Tyler replied, his hearing not yet returned, while Ezekiel explained to him what was happening.
"I'm glad my not a hunter," Bridgette spoke up, "I couldn't do something like that."
"Aw come on!" Eva, for the first time, the athlete was pleading for something instead of demanding. She fell on her knees as she begged Chris to change his mind. "I love paintball. I want to be a hunter!"
"Sorry Eva but your Anger management therapist said you're not allowed to be carrying any weapons here," Shoving Eva of off him. "Screaming Gophers, your hunters are Beth, Cody Izzy and Owen." Many campers cringed and looked terrified as Izzy was smiling ear to ear over the paintball gun.
"Yeah, give the crazy chick a gun," Noah replied, "This will go well."
"Bookworm's right! Pyro over gets to carry a weapon and not me?" Eva replied, "That's bulls##t!"
*** Confessional Izzy ***
"Why are people always terrified when Izzy has a gun? Izzy has a masters degree with all combat weapons, melee weapons and hand to hand combat. Also, Izzy has this in the bag, Izzy is a marksmen sharpshooter."
*** Confessional Bridgette ***
"I know it's just paintball, but it still feels wrong. I watched Bambi when I was five and when his mom got shot I cried for days. So I'm not keen on this challenge, but I'll get through it for the team."
""" Camp Grounds ***
"Woohoo! This awesome!" Izzy pumped her fist in the air with excitement, "Izzy loves hunting. Did you know Izzy is a bounty hunter and knows one hundred ways to kill a person with just Izzy hands?" Noah and Gwen shook their heads in disappointment at her over the top reaction.
"That sounds awesome!" Owen gave her a high five, earning glares from everyone else.
"You know for once I'm happy she on our team," Noah replied.
"Why?" Gwen asked.
"Think about it; do you want that," Noah jerking his thumb to Izzy, who was looking over her paintball gun with a crazy look in her eyes, "chasing after you?" Gwen shuddered at the thought.
"All hunters will be wearing these stylish paintball glasses and wicked camo caps," Chris said, wearing the uniform and tossed to the hunters. "The rest of you are all now, deer." He opened a crate, "Here are your antlers, noses, and little white tail."
"Oh, there's no way you're going to make me wear that crap," Eva folded his arms.
"Yeah, I agree with atomic rage," Heather scoffed.
"You have to, or your team will lose. So you don't have a choice," Chris smiled, causing Eva to flip him off; he chuckled in response.
After everyone put on their costumes for the challenge, Lindsay flinched, Heather and Gwen looked mortified, Noah felt completely stupid, Eva was snarling in rage as her eyes twitched, and Bridgette didn't look so thrilled, being against hunting altogether. DJ and Ezekiel were the only ones who didn't seem to mind the outfits. Ezekial thought it was like Halloween, something he had never experienced before.
"What are you laughing at?" Eva snarled at Owen, the big guy giggling over her outfit.
"Oh, nothing...Bambi," Owen flicked her deer tail, enraging her even more and she stomped on his foot and shoved his paintball gun up to his ass.
*** Confessional Eva ***
"There is nothing about this whole entire scenario that doesn't make me so disgusted I want to violently vomit by own internal organs."
*** Camp Grounds ***
"All right then, deer!" Chris announced. "You've had ten minutes to hide. Once the horn blows, the hunters will be sent out."
The two teams ran into the forest in different directions.
Eva, DJ, Ezekiel, Bridgette were all walking through the forest, trying to find a good place to hide.
"It was nice he gave us a head start, eh" Ezekiel commented as they walked along.
"Guess I take off," Eva smirked at Ezekiel and chuckled, "Now don't try any funny business with Bridgette just because you're alone with her."
"Eva!" Bridgette snapped, DJ looked down while Ezekiel was confused.
"Whatever, but I think we should all split up. If we're together, that will give them a better chance of winning! I'm going this way and for the love of God, try not to get hit!" Without another word, Eva disappeared behind the bushes. Bridgette and Ezekiel just stood there.
"UGH, what a jerk," Bridgette scoffed.
"Bridgette?" Ezekiel tapped her shoulder, "what does funny business mean?"
"It means...," Bridgette sighed as she marched into the woods." Nevermind, she's just a jerk."
"Alright," DJ smiled after he finally stopped laughing, "Eva's right, maybe we should split up." The gentle giant suddenly hunched down, like he was a deer and quickly scamped out of sight. The prairie boy was about to take his advice, but Bridgette suddenly clung to his arm.
"Please don't leave me out here alone," she begged.
"Huh? Why... oh that's right. You're afraid of being alone in the woods, eh." Ezekiel remembered, "It's kind of like the time my mom took me to a carnival when I was five. It was my first time away from the farm I was so excited. I got lost in the crowd, and I lost track of my mom. I was so scared because I saw a truck that looks exactly like my mother's take off; I thought she left me behind, eh."
The two began to hike deeper into the forest, but even though Bridgette was in the company of one of her friends, she still found herself shivering, knowing that the Gophers would be hunting them down at any moment. It made her despise hunting even more.
Not wanting his friend to be uncomfortable, Ezekiel decided to try and take her mind off of being in the woods.
"Umm...Bridgette...Want to work on your Italian or maybe a different language?"
Bridgette nodded and smiled, "I'd like to learn sign language."
"Sure thing," Ezekiel signed, then bending over, he picked some tulips out of the ground and passed them to her.
Bridgette blinked and took them, "Thanks."
Ezekiel sign 'You're welcome' before pointing to other things around the forest and signing the words.
*** Confessional Bridgette ***
Still holding the flowers, "That was sweet. Cheesy, but sweet."
*** Forest ***
Meanwhile, Noah, Lindsay, Gwen and Heather were also making their way through the forest.
"This is, by far, the most humiliating thing I have ever had to do," Gwen commented.
"Well, I think I'm going to go find Beth and Izzy. It'll be easy to have them protect me," Heather began to walk off, "Lindsay, come with me."
"Why?"
"A human shield that's why now get over here." Lindsay walked over and followed Heather, "You two try your best not to get shot so that we can win," further irritating Gwen and Noah.
"Not, that I don't enjoy your company," Noah commented, giving a small smile, "but we need to spread out. It'll make it harder for them to find us. I'm going to hide." As Noah walked off, leaving Gwen. "But if you come along I know a place where they can't find us." Gwen just shrugged and followed.
In a different part of the forest, Eva was seen running through the forest
"You know Eva, why do you anyways seem so angry?" A jolly voice rang inside Eva's ears.
The brick house clenched her teeth, "Why are you always a wimp! S##ting your pants over every little thing!"
DJ blinked, "Yeah, I guess that's true." He then frowned, "Do you get bullied; is that why you're always mad?"
Eva turned and immediately lifted DJ, something even the strongest people he knew couldn't do.
"You don't get to ask about my life. Understood?"
DJ, scared, nodded immediately and Eva let him down.
Eva sighed, "Look I live in a rough neighbourhood, okay. I was beaten up a lot when I was little. I vowed never to be weak again."
The gentle giant sniffed a tear away and gently hugged Eva. The athlete awkwardly stood there, not hugging him back, when suddenly a horn sounded, alerting them that the hunters had entered the forest. With that, Eva pushed DJ off her and took off into the woods.
Geoff, Katie and Tyler were now out hunting for Gophers deers. Deeper in the woods, Tyler was covered in dirt and grime. There were tree branches in his hair, there was mud all over his track suit. The party animal glance at Katie. She had been staring at her paintball gun for quite some time. Sighing Geoff walked over to Katie, smiling.
"What's wrong, dudette?"
"I don't think that I use this thing, Geoff." Katie informed him, frowning.
"Why not?."
"Okay, so I, like, I hate guns," Katie sighed, "so, I don't think I can do this."
"These aren't real guns," Geoff placed a hand on her shoulder, "they don't have bullets. It's all just paint. I used these lots back home, they don't hurt that much, watch."
He demonstrated on Tyler, who was fiddling with his gun He pulled the trigger and splattered paint all over his back. The jock fell over, doubled in pain.
"OWWW that smarts!" He cried out.
Katie looked at Geoff nervously, who sighed.
"Maybe that was a bad example," Geoff shrugged, "sorry man!"
Meanwhile, the Gopher hunters were also out hunting the Bass. Owen, Izzy brandished a jar of yellow liquid and poured it over themselves.
"Uh? What are you doing?" Beth asked.
"Masking my scent so that the other doesn't smell us coming." Owen chuckled, to himself.
"They never see us coming!" Izzy let out a battle cry and leap on to Owen's shoulders.
"That wasn't pee, was it?" Beth asked.
"Of course, Izzy has some more if you guys want some?" Izzy offered then tossed the jar of pee at them. Beth and Cody ran away to avoid the incoming bodily fluid.
*** Confessional Beth ***
"Izzy and Owen have problems; I'm seriously afraid that Izzy might hurt someone."
*** Confessional Izzy ***
"Owen is so fun to play with; He doesn't seem to mind how rambunctious Izzy gets. If something happens to Owen, Izzy will have imaginary friends to play with again."
*** Forest ***
"Where do you think they could be?" Beth whined as she walked through the woods with Cody.
Cody didn't respond but just sat down on a nearby stump.
"Cody, are you okay?"
Cody didn't bother answering her. Something was bothering him. Beth had hardly seen the geek without a goofy smile on his face. He just stared at the ground while wearing a look of heartbreak. It also made Beth want to cry, knowing she was the cause of his pain. Beth could have sworn he was muttering something about Gwen and Trent and just wishing her to be happy.
*** Confessional Beth ***
"After seeing Cody like that I knew I couldn't work with Heather anymore. I've become just like those means girls back home. Don't get me wrong I want to win, but I didn't ever want to hurt anyone."
*** Forest ***
"Cody..." Beth spoke. "Please... don't be sad... "
Cody didn't even look at Beth or acknowledge that she was talking, but Beth wasn't going to give up. She wanted to think of something she could say to cheer Cody up.
"Psst, Beth, over here," Beth looked around and saw Heather and Lindsay behind her.
"Shouldn't you be hiding?" Beth asked.
"Well, I need you to protect me," Heather glared at Beth, "Come along, Beth." She turned and smirked at Cody. "Aww," She mocked, "Get your lazy but up and start hunting!"
"Why you don't just leave him alone," Beth tried to sound intimidating, wanting to defend Cody.
"Oh, you're threatening me, metal mouth?" Heather scoffed, as she turned back to Cody, "Hey Cody! How's it feel to know you're too pathetic and geeky to get the girl? I mean if prairie boy can get close to surfer girl; I guess that makes you even more pathetic."
Cody just froze on his stump as if he'd been slapped in the face.
"What'd you do that for?" Beth demanded. "Haven't you done enough already?"
"He a total creep!"
"You're not even sorry, are you?" Beth glared, she felt the guilt build up inside her. She kept trying to convince herself that this all just part of the game and that this was the only way to make it to the finals, but she was done.
"Nope! Now enough of this. Come along Beth, or I'll have my alliance vote you off next!"
"No!"
"What?!"
"I say no."
"And I said you'd help me or I'll make your life a living hell."
"NO, just Shut up! I'm tired of doing all this. "Beth clenched her fist and raised her paintball gun. "You... you... you're a lying, backstabbing two-faced, you're a..."
A long censor had to be used as Beth gave her final insult to Heather: Lindsay, Cody and Heather stood there in shock.
"I'll give you one chance to take that back!" Heather towered over her.
"NO!" Beth glared and shot Heather with her paintball gun; Heather grabbed the gun out of Beth's grip and began to open fire on the farm girl. Cody jumped up from his stump and turned his paintball gun on Heather.
The raven-haired girl dropped the gun and took off deeper into the woods, with Linsday following behind her.
"Um...Thanks." Beth said after Cody helped her up, and she cleaned off her glasses.
* Confessional Beth ***
"I liked taking Heather down a peg."
*** Confessional Heather ***
"Beth is going down."
***Forest***
Heather and Lindsay ran deeper into the forest as a cluster of bushes shook violently in front of them. Tyler, Geoff and Katie emerged from the bushes. At the sight of their guns, Heather turned around and ran off, leaving Linsday behind. Tyler hesitated for a moment before lowering his paintball gun, motioning at Geoff and Katie to do the same.
"Please don't shoot me, Tyler," Lindsay pleaded.
"I could never shoot my girl," Tyler smiled, and Lindsay ran into his arms, hugging and kissing him. As the two opponent stood there, making out, Geoff and Katie just shrugged and smiled before shooting Linsday in the back. She didn't even notice as she continued playing tonsil hockey with Tyler.
Elsewhere Izzy and Owen were seen trying to stealthily sneak through the woods, keeping a lookout for any Bass deer. They had mud on their faces and leaves in their hair for camouflage. Izzy tiptoed around a tree spotting Eva, Owen let out a loud battle cry and jumped out of the bushes, giving away their position, and Eva took off running.
The camera turned to cabins where Noah was lying in his bed reading, Gwen was lying in the bunk of him also reading.
*** Confessional Noah ***
"Chris didn't say we had to hide in the woods."
*** Forest ***
Eva is seen running up the Cliffside as fast as she could; Owen with Izzy on his shoulders chased close behind her, shooting a myriad of paintballs at her, but all of them missed. Soon, they had Eva cornered at the edge of the cliff.
"Say hello to God for Izzy!" She smiled as they both aimed their guns at Eva and fired, only to find that the clip was empty. "Uh-oh!" Izzy nervously chuckled as Eva smirked, grabbing them both and tossing them off the cliff.
"...After that my father wouldn't let me drive the tractor for a three months!" Ezekiel chuckled as he walked beside Bridgette.
The surfer girl blushed and giggled, "That's funny," she gushed, batting her eyelashes at him. "Kinds of reminds me when I hit the mailbox pulling out of the driveway."
"So, umm, Bridgette..." Ezekiel tapped his fingers, "You have a pretty singing voice."
"Thanks," She blushed, "So, Ezekiel, is there anyone here you like?" she asked him curiosly.
Ezekiel was taken back by this question. Had he been eating something, he was certain that he would have chocked on it. After letting the thought process in his head, and formulating a response, he finally spoke.
"There is this one girl," He stammered, "at camp! She is very pretty and has a big heart, but I don't think that she notices me, eh."
Meanwhile, Eva was walking alone in the forest when she bumped into Ezekiel and Bridgette, "Good you idiots didn't f##k up!"
"EVA!?" Bridgette folded her arms.
"Anyone else hear that?" Ezekiel's eyes widened.
Then, as if on que, a large bear appearing from the brushes. Ezekiel and Bridgette clung to each other in horror, and Eva, well Eva didn't blink.
"Calm down, you wimps!" She grumbled. The fitness bluff walked up to the bear and punched it in the nose.
The bear cried out in pain, and ran off.
when they heard Chris' voice blaring through the sound system, "Attention campers: Time's up, Report back to the campgrounds."
The Bass hunters grinned and waved goodbye to the Gophers.
*** Camp Grounds ***
All the campers (excluding Izzy) had returned to Chris. Tyler had a hickey while Lindsay's lips were visibly swollen, Owen was soaking wet, and Heather was streaked with paint from her teammates.
"Looks like you've all have had quite the day," Chris mused, causing many of the campers to glare at him. "The Killer Bass are unmarked. The Screaming Gophers, however, have three members covered in paint; one of them was not even a deer, and two of them even have their paint on them."
"How, did that happened?" Gwen asked.
"Ask Beth," Heather gritted her teeth, Beth just glared at Heather.
"The winners are the Killer Bass!" The Bass members collectively cheered while the Gophers looked distraught. "Gophers, I'll see you at the bonfire tonight."
As the campers turned to head back to their cabins, a loud noise came from the forest, startling everyone. Izzy jumped out of the trees and fired violently covering all of the Bass with paint.
"What the hell!?" Eva roared as she covered her injured eye, Izzy put the barrel of paintball gun to her mouth and blew at it.
*** Confessional Noah ***
"So, I don't know what happened. All I know is Beth went AWOL on us, so sorry, not sorry I'm voting for Beth.
*** Elimination Ceremony ***
The Screaming Gophers all gathered around the bonfire and were greeted by Chris.
"Welcome back to the bonfire ceremony. Today's challenge was a lot of fun, but fun time is over, and it's time to get serious. When I call your name, come up and get a marshmallow. The camper that doesn't get a marshmallow will be eliminated. And they can't come back."
All of the campers nervously eyed the platter of marshmallows, "First-person safe is Noah."
Noah smiled and got up to receive his marshmallow.
"Also safe is Owen, Gwen, Izzy, Lindsay and Heather." Each camper took their marshmallow, leaving Beth and Cody without one.
"Beth and Cody. This is the final marshmallow of the evening." Beth's eyes grew wide, while Cody just sighed and lowered his head.
"The last marshmallow of the night goes to."

"Cody!" Chris tossed the marshmallow, who starred at in disbelief.
"Beth, sorry, but the dock of shame awaits," Chris point to the docks, Beth looked down as Lindsay and Izzy ran over to hug her, while Heather just smirked.
"I'll miss you; we had so much fun."
"Izzy hates goodbyes."
"It's okay," Beth smiled, "Kick some butt out there."
"We will," Lindsay smiled as Izzy ran over and took Beth's advice literally and kicked Chris in the butt, making the campers grin.
Before heading towards the docks, Beth turned to Cody and Gwen. She had enough guilt as it was, and she wanted to confess before leaving the island.
"Gwen, I think you should know why Trent was voted off."
"What about it?" Gwen glared at Cody.
"It wasn't Cody's doing."
The goth girl looked like she had been slapped in the face, "Wha...What?" she stammered, looking between Beth and Cody. "But...but... I thought?"
"That was all Heather," Beth hissed, jerking a thumb at her.
"It's called strategy," she said with a roll of her eyes. "If we lost again, Cody would have been eliminated, and I'd remain safe."
"Well, thank you so much for putting through the worst experience of my life," Cody replied, his voice wry.
"Got to say it's a great plan," Noah replied, "Sick, but a good plan."
Gwen looked over at Cody, breathing heavily and suddenly hugged him "I'm so sorry, Cody," her voice was parched.
"Hey...Hey...Gwen relax," he replied, smiling at her. "I know what it looked like, but I'm not that kind of guy. I knew you had a thing for Trent, and I'm not the kind of guy to come between something like that. It's alright."
"No, No It's not alright!" She said, shaking her head as she lets go of him. "I hit you! I've been a bitch to you!"
"It's alright," Cody said with a grin, and Gwen smiled and hugged him again, he turned to Beth and smiled at her, "Thank you."
Before Beth made her way down the dock of shame, she hugged all of her friends, Heather excluded, and as she passed Cody, she gave him a small kiss on the cheek.
"I'm sorry I didn't say anything earlier," Beth said sadly.
"It's okay, Beth, you did the right thing in the end." Cody hugged her back, overwhelmed by the kiss.
As the boat of losers drove Beth away, the night was lit up by the flames still burning from Boney Island. Cody stood there and watching Beth as she disappeared and lightly touched the spot on his cheek where she kissed him.
"Guess this means you're over Gwen?" Noah touched his friend's shoulder.
"I guess..." Cody blushed.
"Good, because your attempts were just awful," Noah replied, Cody wanted to glare, but just chucked.
"I guess I come across a little too strong?"
"A 'little'?" Noah raised an eyebrow, "Try the Grand Canyon." The two laughed as Gwen came up and nudged him.
"Hey leave him alone," Gwen smiled, the moment between them was soon interrupted by a megaphone, startling the three and they fell into the lake below. Looking up they saw a grinning Chris.
