Chapter Two: Broadway BFFFLS
[scene shows Chris inside the first class section]
Chris: Last time on Total Drama Encore; Egypt, land of pyramids, land of hot, land of sweating. Our fifteen contestants had loads of fun in the sun. And they still managed to find time to get to know each other, some better than the others. [chuckles] Showing style on the Nile, Team Mink managed to pull out a win and Lila ended up annoying her teammates with her endless complaining and gaslighting, which ultimately led to a near unanimous vote to give her a ticket to the Drop of Shame, Eva-style. [chuckles] Today, who's gonna sing, who's gonna dance, who's gonna sell out their friends for a chance at one million dollars? Welcome to Total...Drama...Encore!
[cue theme song, the episode continues]
[scene shows Teams Ultimate and Fantasy sitting on either side of the economy class section]
Eva: [sighs] Well, isn't this just great? First day back on the show and already I have to go to the elimination ceremony because someone couldn't keep their mouth shut!
Snagglepuss: I would personally like to apologize on behalf of what Lila put us through. She's always been a sleazy little snake and has shown that she cares more about herself than anyone else. Thank goodness I didn't go the full mile with her, ugh!
Huckleberry: Well, now that she's gone, maybe we can all work better together as a team.
Ella: I agree with Huckleberry, sure we've gotten off to a rough start, but so long as we stick together, I'm sure we can conquer any adversity!
Eva: Well...I guess that's true...
Snagglepuss: Not to mention, now that's she's gone, me and you can work better together~
Huckleberry: Oh! [giggles] C'mon, Snag~
Sierra: EEEEEEEEEE! I sense Snaggleberry is in the air!
Bridgette: Huh?
Sierra: Oh, it's the shipping name for Huckleberry Hound and Snagglepuss. And let me tell you, it is the most adorable thing ever! I've seen all the signs, they're soooooo into each other!
Bridgette: Well...I'll admit, the two of them have been known to be paired up quite a lot in the past...maybe you're onto something.
Sierra: Why thank you and I have a feeling that another pairing will come out of this season…[looks toward Tramp and Buster]
Tramp: Um...why are you looking at me like that?
Buster: Must be her shipping senses going off if ya' know what I mean, hehe.
Tramp: What?! Me and you?! Ugh, no way! Never, not a chance! Don't even think about it!
Buster: Alright, no need to get so defensive over it…[mutters]...just because I know you can't admit it.
Tramp: I beg your pardon?!
FantomCat: [clears throat] Gentlemen, may we please be civil over this? We need to focus our attention on our quest for victory! [pulls out his sword "Touché" for emphasis]
Bridgette: I agree, let's all just take a step back and cool down before the next challenge.
Tramp: [looks back at Buster with a scowl] Fine…
[static buzzing]
Tramp: The only reason Buster came onto this show was to rattle my cage even further. I guess he really can't just grow up and forget about us...I mean, can't forget about how I made the right decision of leaving my old lifestyle for a new one with Lady, yeah, that's it...what?
[static buzzing]
Buster: That Tramp's as bad a liar as he ever was. I know he's hiding something and I'm gonna find out what it is. I've known him long enough to know that he can't hide anything from me long term.
[static buzzing]
[scene cuts to Team Mink enjoying themselves in the first class section]
Minerva: I happen to like winning and being in first class, which happens to make me an ideal leader. After all, our team consists mostly of women, so all we need to do is show 'em some true girl power.
Colleen: Heh, can't argue with that, luv. Not to mention we've got all three B's on our side; Beauty, Brains and Brawn.
Minerva: That we do, my dear, that w-
[scene shifts over to the bar where Katie, Sadie and Loopy are gathered]
Katie: OMG, this place is like so fab, Sadie!
Sadie: I know, right?! Being up in first class rules!
Katie: If we keep winning challenges, we can live like this all season!
Sadie: We'll be living like queens in a castle!
Katie: Queen Katie and Queen Sadie, ooooooooooh, I love it, love it, love it!
Sadie: I knew you would, BFFFL!
Loopy: Excuse me, ladies, but what is a BFFFL?
Katie: It stands for "best female friend for life"!
Sadie: Me and Katie have been calling each other that ever since we were kids!
Katie: We've done like everything since we were kids!
Sadie: Bake sales, trick or treating, secret Santas, everything you can name!
Katie: The only thing we haven't done is win a million dollars together, but that's gonna change this season!
Sadie: Yeah, because the two of us are going all the way to the finals!
Katie and Sadie: Together! EEEEEEEEEEE!
[Colleen and Minvera cover their ears at the sound of the clones squealing]
[static buzzing]
Colleen: My bloody ears are ringin' every time I hear those two squeal like little mice! I swear, any time we lose a challenge, one of them is gettin' the boot, plain and simple!
[static buzzing]
Minerva: Katie and Sadie are exactly how you would expect them to be; obnoxious as hell and do not know when to shut up! However, I do see potential in them...well, one of them at least.
[static buzzing]
Katie: Sadie and I are like a dynamic duo. We both even have our own ways of thinking.
Sadie: Yeah, while Katie thinks with her heart, I think with my head. So you could say that Katie's the believer while I'm the thinker.
Katie: Well, I believe you're the prettiest girl I know.
Sadie: Awww, well I think you're the prettiest girl I know.
Katie: We're both really pretty, aren't we?
Sadie: Like, totally.
[static buzzing]
Loopy: From what I've seen, Katie and Sadie do appear to be nice girls. I mean, 'zey didn't run away in fear or bat me over 'ze head with a club. A little on 'ze noisy side, but I suppose anything is better 'zan being hazed for being a wolf. As for Colleen and Minerva, I have 'zis...feeling that I can't seem to shake off. I don't know what it is, but it is not a good feeling. Could be nothing...but I don't know…
[static buzzing]
Intercom: Attention, everyone! Meet me in the cargo hold to begin today's challenge!
[scene cuts to the cargo hold where the contestants are seen sitting in a boat]
Chris: Take a seat, grab a handle and I'll tell you where we're going!
Loopy: Excuse me, but why are you wearing 'ze life jacket?
Chris: Cuz there's fourteen of you and only one valuable me. Hit it, Chef!
[Chef pulls on a lever which opens up the floor, causing the boat to fall all the way down to the ocean just outside of the bustling city of New York]
Chris: Welcome to...New York City!
[static buzzing]
Katie: New York, New York?! Do you know how many stores there are here?!
Sadie: This city is practically a shopping paradise!
Katie and Sadie: EEEEEEEEEEEE!
[static buzzing]
Chris: Your first challenge is a carriage race to Central Park which I like to call…"Liberty or Death!"
Snagglepuss: Except there seems to be a lack of carriages as well as horses.
Chris: Who said anything about horses? These are baby carriages.
Huckleberry: So...where are they?
Chris: [points to the top of the Statue of Liberty where the carriages are resting on the tips of her crown] Yeah, hope you brought your climbing gloves.
[the contestants groan at this]
Minerva: Ugh, you have got to be kidding me.
Chris: Anywho, once you've reached Lady Liberty's crown, pull up your rope to bring your team up faster. Once everybody's up, your team grabs the correct carriage off the spike, races back down to your boat and follows the buoys to your next exciting destination; Central Park!
Sadie: Will there be any time for shopping?
Chris: Nope.
Katie and Sadie: NOOOOOOOOOO!
[scene cuts to the three teams standing on their respective mats; Team Ultimate on the yellow mat, Team Fantasy on the blue mat, and Team Mink on the red mat]
Chris: [blows the whistle]
Eva: [begins to climb the rope] If I can climb up a mountain, Lady Liberty's got nothin' on me!
Bridgette: Ow! What are these ropes made of?!
Chris: Steel wool. Strong and rough, just like the Big Apple.
Bridgette: [sighs and begins to climb the rope]
Loopy: If you ladies would allow me, I shall go up first to make sure that it is safe.
Colleen: Well, if you wanna knock ya'self out, be my guest, hun.
Minerva: [nudges Colleen] What she means to say is go ahead, sweetie. Just let us know if it's safe.
Loopy: Well, up I go, on y va! [begins to climb the rope]
Minerva: [pulls Colleen to the side] Don't you get it? You can't rush into the deep end with this sort of thing.
Colleen: Pardon?
Minerva: What I'm saying is that we need to be gentle with Loopy for the time being so that it'll be easier for him to do as we say, given how his vote is essential to our plans.
Colleen: Aaaaaah, I see.
Minerva: Just a little slip-up is all. But make sure you check yourself before speaking to Loopy. The last thing we need is the clones getting to him first.
[static buzzing]
Colleen: I normally don't like being ordered around and told what to do, but Minerva raises a good point. Gotta play it nice and smooth with Frenchie on our team and thus we'll have the majority on our side.
[static buzzing]
Buster: After you, I insist.
Tramp: Hmph. [begins to climb the rope when he sees Buster climbing it next]
Buster: Hehe, best view in New York City.
Tramp: Keep it up and I won't hesitate to kick.
Buster: You've forgotten that I've a rather strong bite.
Tramp: Ugh, whatever.
[scene cuts to Chris standing on top of the statue]
Chris: It's been twenty-five blister busting minutes and nothing! You guys are bummin' me out!
Snagglepuss: Says the one...who isn't...climbing...the rope!
Huckleberry: I swear, that man is one sad sorry vermin.
Chris: Hurry it up, people! I'm officially bored!
Eva: [as she reaches the top of the statue] You...are pure...evil!
Chris: [growls as the teams pull their remaining members up to the top] Let's go! I'm tired, I'm hungry and I gotta pee!
Colleen: I got the carriage! I'm flexible enough to balance on the spikes! [begins to make her way across the spike]
Buster: Watch and learn, ladies. [snickers as he begins to cross the spike as Tramp rolls his eyes]
Ella: Never fear my friends for I shall retrieve our carriage. [daintily tip-toes across the spike]
[at that moment, a breeze brushes past Ella, causing Eva to gasp before the songbird recomposes herself as the weight lifter breathes a sigh of relief before abruptly opening her eyes]
[static buzzing]
Eva: What, I was just concerned for my teammate is all. After all, you'd be concerned if someone you cared about could plummet straight to their death in the blink of an eye...okay, that just sounded really girly, ugh!
[static buzzing]
Buster: Haha, got it!
FantomCat: Yes, onwards to victory we go!
Bridgette: How do we get back down?
Chris: Fireman's pole, anyone? It's only a thirty-story drop.
[Team Ultimate looks down through the hole at the top of the statue and see the long drop to the bottom]
Sierra: Uhhhh, so who's going first?
Buster: [nudges Tramp] Ladies first.
Tramp: Oh, no, after you. I insist.
FantomCat: Not to worry, my friends. I shall go first and make sure it's [grabs onto the pole and immediately slides down] SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
[a loud thump is heard at the bottom as the members of Team Ultimate wince]
FantomCat: [off-screen, groans] Not a bone broken…
[the rest of Team Ultimate begins to descend down the pole]
Bridgette: AAAAAAAAAA-
Sierra: -AAAAAAAAAAA-
Tramp: -AAAAAAAAAA-
Buster: [with the carriage in hand]-AAAAAAAA!
[scene cuts to back to the top of the statue]
Colleen: Got the carriage, now let's jet, ladies!
[scene cuts to Team Mink descending down the pole]
Katie: EEEEEEEEEEE-
Sadie: -EEEEEEEEEE-
Minerva: -AAAAAAAA-
Loopy: -AAAAAAAA-
Colleen: [with the carriage in hand] -AAAAAAAA!
[scene cuts to back to the top of the statue]
Ella: Huzzah, our carriage has been delivered!
Eva: Yeah, but the fact we're in last place means we gotta kick it into high gear, so let's move it, people!
[scene cuts to Team Fantasy descending down the pole]
Snagglepuss: AAAAAAAAAA-
Huckleberry: -AAAAAAAAAA-
Ella: -AAAAAAAAAA-
Eva: [with the carriage in hand] -AAAAAAAA!
[scene cuts to Team Ultimate exiting the statue and heading for the dock]
Bridgette: There's the boat!
Sierra: [as she boards with the others into the yellow boat] I call shotgun!
[Sierra turns on the boat's engine and Team Ultimate sets off from the dock]
Katie: [as Team Mink exits the statue] Look!
Sadie: There's our boat!
Minerva: Oooooh, no! We are not settling for second place today! Hit it, Colleen!
[Team Minks enters the red boat and Colleen turns on the engine, the team's boat racing away from the dock]
Snagglepuss: [as Team Fantasy exits the statue] Heavens to Murgatroyd, we're stuck in last place! We're gonna lose again, even!
Eva: [as she boards the blue boat with the others] Not on my watch!
[Eva turns on the boat's engine and they set off at a brisk pace]
[scene cuts back to Team Ultimate]
Sierra: OMG, we're so totally gonna win this! First class, here we come!
Bridgette: But taking a boat to Central Park doesn't really make sense! It's in the middle of Manhattan!
Sierra: Oh, there's the next buoy!
[Team Ultimate passes the buoy and heads into the tunnel leading into the sewers, causing them give out various sounds of disgust]
Minerva: [as Team Mink's boat enters the sewers] The sewers?! Ugh, curse that sadistic host!
Snagglepuss: [as Team Fantasy's boat enters the sewers] Bleh! This place smells putrid, horrid, disgusting even!
Chris: [as he watches from the top of the Statue of Liberty with a telescope] Who'll survive and who's gonna take a dive? Find out when we return on Total...Drama...Encore!
[scene cuts to black, the episode continues]
[scene shows Team Ultimate cruising through the sewers]
Bridgette: Ugh, this place smells so gross! Maybe even worse than the time I got skunked back on Wawa-
[at that moment, a roar echoes throughout the sewers]
Bridgette: [nervously] Was that an alligator?
Sierra: That's just an urban myth...r-right?
[from behind them, a large whitish green alligator rises from the water]
[scene cuts to Team Mink]
Sadie: Did you hear that? It sounded like a-
[the alligator rushes toward them and jumps over their boat, the members of Team Mink screaming in fright as the gator rises up once again, only for Team Fantasy to use it as a ramp and soar through the sewers before landing back in the water]
Huckleberry: Ma' golly, what is that thing?!
[the gator begins to rush at the boats when Team Mink's boat suddenly lurches, causing Katie to lose her balance]
Sadie: [gasps] KATIE! [grabs onto her friend's leg before she falls off the boat and pulls her upward] Are you okay?!
Katie: Yeah, I am...thanks to you. [hugs her friend sweetly which Sadie returns]
[static buzzing]
Katie: Sadie and I always have each other's backs.
Sadie: One time when we were hiking up a mountain, a rock came loose under me and I thought I was gonna fall all the way to the bottom until Katie quickly grabbed onto my hand and pulled me to safety.
Katie: Like I was ever gonna let my gal pal fall. If something ever happened to Sadie, I wouldn't know what to do with myself.
Sadie: Awww, that is so sweet.
Katie: Not as sweet as you, sweetie.
Sadie: [giggles] We're both sweeties.
Katie: Sweeties for life. [giggles]
[static buzzing]
[scene cuts to the gator trying to snap at Team Ultimate's boat]
FantomCat: [pulls out his sword] No, back! Back, foul creature! Return to the depths from which you came, or else things will take a turn for the worse!
[the gator viciously snaps at the contestants, causing Tramp to yelp and hug the closest person next to him out of fear, that person being…]
Buster: Need a big strong guy to protect you, princess?
Tramp: [puts his hands back to his hips] Hey, that didn't mean anything and you know it!
Buster: Uh-huh, sure.
Tramp: GRRR!
[scene cuts to the boats racing out of a sewer tube, Team Ultimate first, Team Mink second, and Team Fantasy third]
Chris: [with a gas mask on] Whoahoho! That is a stench that never comes off! [chuckles as he removes the mask] Moving on, welcome to the second part of the challenge; bobbing for big apples NYC-style! Here's how it's gonna go down; [taps the pointing stick on the chart showing a map with the teams' colors showing which path to take to Central Park] teams must push their characters along one of the three paths to Central Park's fabled turtle pond. There, one member of each team'll bob for some very special apples using only their mouths, no hands. Once they get it to shore, the rest of the team must load it into their carriages and race to the finish line in the heart of Central Park and what's a baby carriage without a baby?
Bridgette: Please tell me you're not gonna kidnap babies for us to carry in this challenge. Because we all know how well that worked last time.
Chris: Well, I could do that if I wanted to, but this time, one member of each team must ride in their carriage and stay there all the way to the finish line.
All the females of Team Mink: Loopy!
Buster: I volunteer-
Tramp: Nooooo, you are not making me the baby.
Sierra: Aww, I think you would make a cute baby. Not to mention that it would cause some real ripple on the internet. [giggles mischievously]
Tramp: I'm sorry, what?
Bridgette: [clears throat to ease the tension] Um, if it's any consolation, I'll volunteer to sit in the carriage, hehe, yeah…
Snagglepuss: So, who shall take the role of serving as the baby in this here carriage?
Huckleberry: Well, I suppose I could take the role, then you'd be able to carry me across to the finish line. [winks at the mountain lion]
Snagglepuss: [winks back with a chuckle] Then it's settled, Huck will be our baby for this challenge.
[static buzzing]
Huckleberry: If that there wink didn't send off a signal to ya'll, maybe it'll make sense in time.
[static buzzing]
Snagglepuss: Huck serving as the baby makes sense to me if you get my meaning. [clicks his tongue]
[static buzzing]
Chris: Ultimate got here first, so they get the shortest path to the pond. Team Fantasy gets the longest path on the left and Team Mink gets the longest path on the right. Oh, and a little traveling music, please?
Ella: [gasps with joy] Singing in the streets of New York City?! This could not get any better!
Katie: Oh, I just realized, isn't New York known for Broadway?!
Sadie: Yeah, so that means-
Katie: -we'll be-
Katie and Sadie: Broadway Best Female Friends For Life, EEEEEEEEEEEE!
[Ding, Ding!]
Chris: That's your cue, now move it, people!
[the three teams set off as the music begins]
Katie: What's not to love about New York City?
The taxis honk out a New York ditty!
The crime is high!
The pigeons fly!
What's not to love about New York?!
Sadie: The lights are brighter!
The fun is funner!
The bagels are bagel-er,
And the bums are bummer!
The dirt and grime make every alley shine!
What's not to love about New York?!
Minerva: The stores, and the fashion!
Big shows where stars cash in!
It's crazy, 'cause the city never sleeps!
Katie and Sadie: Dance break!
Minerva: For the love of dance, stop!
Bridgette, Ella, Eva, and Sierra: Subway trains and the hustle-bustle!
Bridgette, Colleen, Ella, Eva, Katie, Minerva, Sadie, and Sierra: Cappuccinos while the mobsters tussle!
Snagglepuss: And pretzel stands for all us pretzel fans!
Huckleberry: Whoa, hot, hot, hot!
Huckleberry and Snagglepuss: What's not to love...
Huckleberry, Loopy, and Snagglepuss: What's not to love...
Bridgette, Buster, Colleen, Ella, Eva, FantomCat, Huckleberry, Katie, Loopy, Minerva, Sadie, Sierra, Snagglepuss, and Tramp: What's not to love... about New York?!
[scene cuts to the turtle pond]
Buster: The other teams are here, too?! I thought we got the shortest path!
Colleen: Well, no thanks to the clones' dancing session we got here when we did!
Katie and Sadie: Hey!
Huckleberry: And by golly, look at the size of them apples!
Chris: Remember; no hands!
Eva: I'm diving in, I'm an athlete after all! [runs to the pond and jumps in]
FantomCat: Never fear, I shall take on this grueling task! [runs to the pond and jumps in]
Katie: Oh, Sadie and I will jump in for the apples!
Colleen: Yeeeeeeah, not gonna happen. [runs to the pond and jumps in]
Sadie: Wow, rude much?
Katie: Like, totally! It was just a suggestion.
[scene cuts to FantomCat arriving at one of the apples and going under the water before resurfacing with the apple on his head]
Bridgette: Whoo-hoo, go FantomCat!
Sierra: Yes, we're gonna win!
Minerva: Um, yeah, Colleen, I don't mean to fuss but we could really use a bit of speed at the moment!
Colleen: Oi, keep ya' top on! [bites the stem of the apple with her teeth and pulls it back to shore]
Eva: [as she arrives at her apple] Oooooh, no, I am not heading to the elimination ceremony for the second time in a row! [pushes the apple by bashing it with her head]
[scene cuts to FantomCat arriving back at his team's carriage and dropping the apple off his head into Bridgette's lap]
Bridgette: We've got the apple, now let's hurry!
[Team Ultimate takes off to the finish line as Teams Fantasy and Mink soon have their apples loaded into their carriages and the three teams begin to race toward the finish]
[scene cuts to Chris and Chef sitting by a fountain as the teams approach it, with the team arriving first to the finish being...]
Minerva: WHAT?! WE LOST?!
Chris: And the winner of the New York challenge is...Team Ultimate!
[the members of Team Ultimate cheer for their victory as Bridgette and Sierra hug each other while Tramp high-fives Buster...before putting his hand back and looks away huffily while trying hard not to blush]
Chris: Team Fantasy, congrats on not coming in last!
[the members of Team Fantasy breath a sigh of relief]
Chris: And, as for Team Mink, you're facing elimination for the first time.
[the members of Team Mink all give a collective groan]
Snagglepuss: So, how'd you enjoy bein' the baby?
Huckleberry: Well, it's a different feelin' than what I'm used to, considering I'm usually carried by you. [boops the mountain lion's nose with his finger tip]
Snagglepuss: Weeeell, how about I carry you right now? [pulls up the hound with a grin]
Huckleberry: Ohohoho, why thank ya' kindly.
[scene cuts to the interior of the plane where Loopy is seen about to go into the confessional when Minerva stops him]
Minerva: Heeeeeeey, Loopy, was it? Thinking about who to send off tonight?
Loopy: Well, 'zat's 'ze question, I'm not exactly sure who to give 'ze boot.
Minerva: Well, I believe I can assist with that, here's the plan…[brings herself to Loopy's ear and whispers the plan, the wolf's expression turning to a look of surprise]...r-really?
Minerva: Hmm-mmm, I figured it doesn't hurt to lose someone who doesn't really...match up to the rest of us in terms of style. I trust you'll understand in the long run. [walks off, leaving Loopy feeling rather uncertain]
[scene cuts to black, at the Elimination Ceremony]
Chris: It's vote time! Up in the loser class bathroom, you'll find five passports. Stamp the passport of the team member you'd like to send home. Got it?
[static buzzing]
Katie and Sadie: [look around at the passports until Chris pops in and points at his watch]
[static buzzing]
Colleen: [puts down Sadie's passport and stamps it with a grin]
[static buzzing]
Minerva: The way I see it is that I'm hot, Colleen is hot, and Katie could be made hot. But as for Lumpkins…[stamps Sadie's passport]...sorry, but you just don't fit the bill.
[static buzzing]
Loopy: [looks tensely between Sadie and Colleen's passports while biting his lip]
[static buzzing]
Chris: Those staying in the game will get in-flight snacks and if ya' don't get one, you'll be taking the Drop of Shame. The following players are safe; Minerva [catches the bag]...Loopy [catches the bag]...and...Katie [catches the bag]. And the last bag goes to…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
Colleen!
Colleen: [catches the bag with a grin]
Sadie: [gasps] Me?!
Chris: Yep. You, Sadie.
Katie: NO! This is so not fair! You can't get rid of Sadie, not this soon!
Chris: I can and I will! Sadie, the Drop of Shame awaits you!
Sadie: [catches the parachute and sighs sadly] I'm gonna miss you, Katie.
Katie: [sniffles] I'm gonna miss you more, Sadie.
Sadie: I'm gonna miss you even more.
Katie: I'm gonna miss you even even more.
Sadie: I'm gonna-
Chris: Ugh, enough already! [roughly shoves Sadie out of the plane]
Sadie: [as she descends] KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Katie: SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADIEEEEEEEEEEEE! [begins to sob]
Chris: Sayonara from the Big Apple, where will our travels take us next? Will Team Fantasy ever win First Class? And will Katie ever stop crying? All these questions and many more...probably won't be answered on the next episode of Total...Drama...Encore!
[scene cuts to black as the episode ends]
