Disclaimer: Total Drama does not belong to me. Instead, it belongs to it's rightful owners.
Warning: I know with the next few chapters a lot of people will get upset over the eliminations. I'm sorry but that's the way the plot has to go. Please don't hurt me and keep reading even if your favorite character gets eliminated.
Chris was seen standing in a kitchen with Chef Hatchet. The large cook was showing the host how to operate the stove. "Now turn that dial to at least 11," Chef Hatchet instructed, pointing at said dial.
Chris raised an eyebrow and asked, "Turn it up to eleven? Don't you think that's dangerous?"
Chef snorted and said, "No, it's an old stove. It takes a bit more juice to get it going."
"If you say so," Chris said hesitantly as he turned the dial up to eleven. For a few seconds, nothing happened. Then a large flame erupted from the burner and hit Chris right in the face for a few seconds before dying down. Chris' face was slightly charred but that was not his main concern.
He ran away screaming, "My beautiful, flawless hair! I have to get some more hair gel!"
Chef and the intern holding the camera laughed at the condition of their boss. Chef wiped a tear from his eye and said, "That has got to be one of the greatest things I have seen so far on this show."
The cameraman managed to stop laughing and said, "That was pretty funny. But now it looks like you have to do the intro."
"Me? Um, I guess I could," Chef said as the cameraman got the camera set up.
"Don't worry about this Mr. Hatchet, we have a teleprompter, so you'll have an idea of what to say," the cameraman stated as he pointed at a television screen.
"So that's what that's for," Chef mumbled as the cameraman stood up.
The intern working the camera pointed at Chef and said, "And we're rolling!"
Chef cleared his throat and said, "Last time on Total Drama High School! Chris put the teams into groups of three and had them build a go-kart. The teams themselves were dramatic, as Nicholas fought with Danny and Courtney and Gwen argued. Taunting laughter. Oh I mean, Hah ha! Um so anyways, after they built their go-karts, they had to race them. After an incident that involved Izzy and bombs, Mikey had to be rushed to the infirmary. Luckily for him, he was revealed to be fine. At the elimination ceremony, Jessie was the unlucky one and Nicholas was left angry. So what type of challenge will take place today? What kind of a stupid question is that? We're filming this in a damn kitchen, what do you think the challenge is? Anyways, will Nicholas try to get rid of Danny for some reason? Will another shocking elimination take place? Find out the answers to these questions right now on Total Drama High School!"
"And cut," the cameraman said as he lowered the camera.
"So, how was I," Chef inquired.
The cameraman started to put the camera away as he said, "Pretty good, for your first time doing it."
Chef smiled as he said, "You really think so?"
"Totally. You should've seen Chris when we did a practice take on day one of TDI. He was a mess," the cameraman said.
Chef grinned and said, "You wouldn't happen to still have that footage, would you?"
Mikey and Geoff were currently in Mikey's room of the hotel. The reason for this was Mikey was still a little disoriented from the crash the previous day, so he needed assistance of some sort. "So then I felt something like somebody kissing my cheek. Since I was basically asleep, I woke up very slightly. The only person I see is Megan, and she's leaving the room," Mikey finished telling Geoff the events that transpired the previous night.
Geoff nodded and appeared to be thinking for a moment before speaking, "Well then dude, it has to have been Megan who kissed your cheek right?"
Mikey nodded in confirmation, replying, "That was the only conclusion I could come up with."
"Then isn't that good," the party boy asked.
Mikey looked down for a second before stating, "Well, yes, that is a step in the right direction I suppose. But it's not out of the question that that could've been just a platonic kiss. You know, ones between friends that don't really mean anything."
Geoff grabbed Mikey's shoulders, surprising the gamer, and said, "Dude, you need to dig deep and summon the courage to ask her out. Yeah, right now we're only assuming she might like you romantically, but that doesn't matter! If yesterday proved anything, it's that anything can happen on this show, so you can't waste time."
Mikey stood for a moment, reflecting upon Geoff's words, until he said, "You know what? You're right! Wasting time will get me nowhere. Today, I'll ask her out!" Geoff high-fived the gamer as they prepared to leave for the day.
Bus Confessional
Mikey: Geoff made a good point. Given how unpredictable this show can be, waiting could ruin any possible chance of forming a relationship with Megan. (He waits a moment, and then looks directly at the camera.) Yes, I admit it. I have a crush on Megan. I've had one since the beginning of the competition, or more specifically, the second day, when she was first my teammate.
While the bus carted the students off to the school, Gwen was sitting with a select group of people, namely, Jennifer, Nicholas, Cody and Emily. "Okay so I've determined that somebody may be going around and breaking up the couples. First Trent leaves and then Jessie? It seems like it might be more than coincidence," Gwen said as she addressed the four contestants.
Jennifer nodded slightly, still a little sad over Trent's departure. Nicholas however scoffed, "Look, I appreciate the concern and all, but as far as I'm concerned, Danny was the one behind Jessie's elimination. I get rid of him, and my problems will be solved."
Gwen shook her head disapprovingly at Nicholas' course of action, but said, "Fine, if that's the way you want to do things."
Cody cleared his throat and asked, "So why are Emily and I here?"
"Oh, that's pretty simple. Given the fact that couples with the new contestants are being broken up, it seems like one of you could be the next target," Gwen explained with a shrug.
"That's not very reassuring," Emily said.
Gwen tapped her chin in thought and said, "Well, it's possible I am overlooking things."
"With any luck you are overanalyzing this. It's probably just a coincidence," Jennifer said quietly.
A couple seats over, Joseph smirked to himself. The overachiever had pretended to be sleeping so he could eavesdrop and he just learned something very interesting.
Bus Confessional
Joseph: (The overachiever is still smirking) Gwen's a smart girl. However, I'm not intentionally breaking up the couples. I'm just finding opportunities and I'm taking them. (After waiting a few seconds, he speaks again) Though it seems like Gwen knows too much, so perhaps it's time I fulfilled my promise to Courtney.
Near the front of the bus, Courtney was in a conversation with Danny. However, due to the proximity of Izzy, she was technically in the conversation as well. "So Danny," Courtney began to ask, "Who did you end up voting for yesterday? I'm having trouble trying to make sense of it myself."
The honorable teen looked at Courtney as if she had two heads and said, "Um, I didn't vote yesterday. I was in one of the winning teams."
Courtney looked shocked as her mouth hung open and she said, "W-What! Then why did you antagonize Nicholas after Jessie got eliminated?"
"Nicholas was being a dick to me earlier that day and didn't respect my wishes so I figured I would just add a little insult to injury. Why are you so shocked," Danny questioned with an eyebrow raised.
Courtney was about to respond when all of a sudden, Izzy popped up between them and said, "Silly Danny! Everybody knows that looking like a douche is basically a way of saying you're a bad guy! Like Heather in season one or my evil ex Justin in season two!"
Danny seemed unfazed by Izzy's statement, but Courtney curiously asked, "Did you really date Justin?"
"Yup! Well, if a date involves chainsaws, confetti, and an overweight clown, then yes I dated him! But only once, he was a jerk," the crazy redhead excitedly replied.
"Right," Courtney said with a slight tone of disbelief.
"Back to what Izzy initially said, I wouldn't know much of how everyone acted toward the obnoxious jerks because I didn't watch much of the show to begin with," Danny said with a shrug.
Bus Confessional
Danny: What can I say? Nicholas was rude to me yesterday so I figured I would be rude to him back. It's the Golden Rule, right? Treat others the way you would want to be treated.
Courtney: I want to help Danny before he goes too far. I know what he's going through. I've done things I'm not really proud of, mostly due to what he did to me. (She sighs and looks down for a few seconds before she looks back up) Let's just say that I may have influenced who made it in this season.
Noah was also pretending to be asleep, but he was in hearing distance of Mikey, Geoff, Bridgette, and Megan. Given where their conversation had been going, he would've rather been sleeping for real. At one point though, he became interested in the conversation.
"So how're you holding up Mikey," Bridgette asked the gamer.
Mikey shrugged and said, "Well, I've been better but at least I'm not in any real pain."
"I can't believe Izzy would do something like that though," Megan said.
Mikey cast a quick glance over his shoulder to see Izzy was currently talking with Courtney and Danny before he said, "Yeah, to be honest, I'm a little scared of Izzy right now, what with how she keeps injuring me."
Noah mentally made a note of this, as he knew that this could be used to get Izzy out later on in the game.
"I wonder if that was like, how she was raised dude," Geoff thought out loud.
"What, she was raised to cause others pain," Megan asked.
Geoff shook his head and replied, "Nah, I meant if she was just raised to be overly aggressive."
"I suppose it is a possibility," Bridgette mused, "I mean, I never really knew her too well, but she did have a few moments where she was aggressive."
"Well, at least you're okay Mikey. It would be a shame if you were eliminated because of an injury," Megan said, smiling at the gamer.
Mikey blushed very slightly at Megan's compliment, as he was also remembering the events of the night before, before replying, "Y-yeah, I wouldn't want to lose this competition due to a technicality. That would suck."
"Well said dude," Geoff cheered.
Bus Confessional
Megan: Was it just me, or was Mikey more nervous than normal? Could he have been awake when I left last night? Oh, I really hope he doesn't find that weird.
Noah: I should enlist Mikey's help when it comes time to eliminate Izzy. He said he was slightly scared of her, which would be a good enough reason to get his vote. And to be honest, despite being friends with her, she can scare me too from time to time.
The bus pulled up to the school and the students exited the vehicle. An interesting thing that many of the students noted was the fact that Chef Hatchet was chuckling in his driver's seat. The contestants were confused about the chuckling until they arrived at the front entrance, where Chris was standing. Something about him was different however.
"Um Chris? You look different," Courtney stated nervously, hoping the host would not take that as an insult.
Chris rolled his eyes and nodded, saying, "Yes I know, I have way too much hair gel in my hair today. There was an incident this morning when preparing for the challenge."
Danny shook his head and said, "Not your hair you fool, your eyebrows."
"What about my eyebrows," Chris asked curiously.
"Um, they aren't there dude. They kinda look like they were burned off," Geoff said pointing at Chris' nonexistent eyebrows.
Feeling his forehead, Chris said, "Hmm. I guess they were burned off."
"And you aren't upset or anything," Jennifer cautiously asked.
Chris shrugged and said, "Why would I? They're just eyebrows. Anyways, onto today's challenge! Who remembers the challenge from TDI when Beth was eliminated?"
Courtney's hand shot up and the CIT said, "It was the cooking challenge. I remember because that was right before the Killer Bass started to lose again."
Chris grinned and said, "Right you are Courtney! The reason I'm asking you this is because today's challenge is the exact same challenge!" Many contestants groaned due to Chris' lack of originality.
Restroom Confessional
Gwen: Can Chris be any more unoriginal? Honestly, first he makes us do the dodgeball challenge again and then he rips off Mario Kart and now this? I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even come up with the challenges. An intern probably does.
Chris smiled and said, "Come on now, today's challenge won't be so tough! You will be split into two teams and each team has to make a three course meal. There must be an appetizer, an entrée, and a dessert. Also, there will be three judges! Myself, Chef Hatchet and Owen will taste your dishes and we will determine the winner. Now to come up with the teams."
"You mean to tell me," Noah said, annoyed, "That you haven't even come up with the teams yet?"
Chris tapped his chin in thought as he said, "Not entirely. But I have an idea now. Geoff, Bridgette and Jennifer, you are on one team. Gwen, Danny and Izzy, you three are on the other team."
As the six teens stood in their designated groups, Chris tapped his chin in thought.
Mikey asked Joseph, who was standing behind the gamer, "How do you think Chris is basing the teams?"
"To be honest, I have no idea," Joseph replied with a shrug.
Chris nodded to himself and said, "All right, I want Mikey, Megan and Joseph on Geoff's team. Courtney, Cody and Nicholas can be on Gwen's team. Hmm. Let's put Emily on Geoff's team and Noah on Gwen's team. That seems about right."
Geoff raised his hand and said, "Hey Chris dude? Does this mean Gwen and I are team captains?"
"Only if your team is okay with that," Chris replied with a shrug, "Geoff, you and your team gets the culinary arts kitchen. Gwen, your team gets the cafeteria's kitchen. We need the meal no later than 1. That gives you all a good four hours. Each kitchen has their own supplies but if you need anything that your kitchen does not have, there is a supply closet halfway between the two kitchens that we have put extra supplies in. Oh, and the meals are to be served to us in the gym, because the producer said it wasn't fair if we ate in the cafeteria. So with that, get going!"
When Chris dismissed the contestants, they took off running. He pulled out a small hand mirror and said, "I should see if the makeup department can do anything about my lack of eyebrows."
Restroom Confessional
Joseph: Hmm. This appears to have thrown a wrench into my plans. I was going to target Gwen tonight, but since I am not on her team, it appears I may have to leave that duty to Courtney.
Nicholas: Yeah, I'm pretty sure Chris put me on the same team as Danny just to annoy me. But hey, if we lose I know who I'm voting for hands down.
Geoff: Sweet, another cooking challenge! I wonder if my team will let me be captain again?
Team One (Geoff, Bridgette, Jennifer, Mikey, Megan, Joseph, Emily)
Geoff, Bridgette and Emily looked at the contents of the fridge while the other members of the team inspected the cabinets and the cooking implements. After five minutes of investigating the team met at a pair of tables in the classroom section of the room.
"So," Geoff casually started the conversation, "Does anyone have any idea what we should do for an idea?"
Joseph stood and said, "I don't have a theme, but I believe we should not repeat an Italian theme. Even though Chris has the originality of a rock, he may not appreciate it if we are unoriginal."
"I have to agree with Joseph. Originality would be best," Bridgette commented.
A short silence followed this before Emily said, "Well, what if we made a Chinese or Japanese themed meal? That shouldn't be too difficult. We can use rice for an appetizer, some sushi for the entrée and fortune cookies for a dessert."
Jennifer nodded and said, "Yeah that does sound like a good idea. I think we should do it."
Some members of the group prepared to get up until a voice shouted out, "Objection!" Jennifer and Emily looked surprised as Mikey got up.
"I have a better idea," the gamer said, "We should make Mexican food. Make loaded nachos for the appetizer, tacos and burritos for the entrée, and churros for the dessert."
Geoff, Megan and Joseph quickly agreed with the plan and once Bridgette was assured that she would not have to eat anything, she agreed as well.
"Well Mikey, it seems like your idea won. Are you going to be head chef," Joseph asked.
The gamer shook his head and turned to Geoff before asking, "Actually, I was wondering if Geoff would like that honor. He did a great job of it on Total Drama Island so why not again?"
"I'm honored dude. I accept! Let's figure out who will make what. Mikey, I want you and Megan on nacho duty. I'll work on the tacos with Joseph and Emily. Bridgette and Jennifer can make the churros. Is that okay," Geoff said as the captain of the team.
"I'm fine with it," Megan said.
Joseph nodded and said, "Whatever works for you is fine, Captain."
"Sounds like a plan Geoff," Jennifer confirmed.
Geoff smiled and said, "All right then. Let's get to work!"
Restroom Confessional
Geoff: Awesome! I get to totally lead a team again dude! I'm confident that we can win this challenge today too! I mean, everybody in our team seems to get along.
Mikey: So I wonder what Chris was basing the teams off of. Nothing seems to stick out other than the fact that all the people with blond hair are on our team and all the people with black or red hair are on the other team. But Chris wouldn't base the teams off of something silly like that, right?
Jennifer: This seems like it's gonna be really fun! The challenge isn't too tough and I've done some baking before, so making the churros should be a snap.
Team Two (Gwen, Danny, Izzy, Courtney, Nicholas, Cody, Noah)
To say that team two was a mess would be an understatement. Gwen and Courtney were fighting over everything, Danny and Nicholas were staring each other down, Cody was trying to get the girls to stop fighting, Noah was sitting around reading cookbooks, and Izzy was being Izzy. Needless to say, everything was not well.
"Gwen, I don't care what it was that Chris had said, you aren't going to be the captain," Courtney stated adamantly.
Gwen raised an eyebrow and said, "Why? Afraid I'm going to steal Duncan from you if I'm leader?"
Courtney turned around in a huff and said, "No, it's because I'm a CIT and I have leadership experience!"
"In case you forgot, I was captain of my team back on Total Drama Action," Gwen replied angrily due to Courtney's attitude.
"And that went so well for you. I seem to recall you being the first person eliminated from your team," the CIT replied with a smug tone in her voice.
The gothic teen stomped her foot and said, "How many times do I have to tell you? That wasn't my fault! That was all Justin's fault!"
"Girls, girls, please stop fighting. This isn't getting us anywhere," Cody tried to reason with Gwen and Courtney.
Courtney rolled her eyes and said, "Cody, I don't know why you constantly stand up for Gwen, but it's obvious she doesn't like you, so give it up."
Cody looked shocked and said, "Wait, what?"
Gwen shook her head and said, "He's got a girlfriend, genius. Or were you too busy trying to get rid of me that you were oblivious to the world around you?"
"I just wanted you two to stop fighting," the tech geek muttered.
From a short distance away, Danny chuckled and said, "Courtney can be so foolish at times."
"Shut up," Nicholas growled.
Danny turned and raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh look, it's Mr. I-don't-give-a-damn-about-other-people's-beliefs. What do you want from me now?"
Nicholas shook his balled-up fists in anger as he said, "I know you got rid of Jessie you douche! Admit it now and maybe I can apologize for my behavior."
"Admit what, may I ask," Danny casually asked.
"Admit that you were responsible for Jessie's elimination," the mechanic accused.
The honorable warrior chuckled as he said, "This is funny. Ok, I'll humor you. Assuming I was behind Jessie's elimination, which I'm not, how do you propose I was able to vote her off? I wasn't up for elimination yesterday, so how could I have been behind it?"
"It's quite simple, actually. You persuaded other people who could have voted to vote for her! That's how you were able to eliminate her without voting yourself," Nicholas stated, proud at his counter-argument.
Danny pinched the bridge of his nose as he said, "Okay, may I remind you that I am here to play with honor? I want nothing of the secret alliances and backstabbing this show is known for."
Nicholas simply glared at the warrior teen for a moment before turning away from him and crossing his arms. Before he walked away, he said, "Look, you can deny it all you like, but I can't think of anyone else who would deliberately try to get rid of Jessie." As Nicholas walked away, Danny could only shake his head.
Restroom Confessional
Danny: Nicholas is a classic example of someone who is blinded by anger. He truly believes that I was the one responsible for eliminating his girlfriend. Due to his anger he neglects to take into account that it could have just been dumb luck. Though I find it strange how people in relationships are eliminated back to back.
After the assorted arguing or glaring occurred for a few more minutes, Izzy took two frying pans and started banging them against each other, causing a terrible racket that caused everyone to stop what they were doing.
From the back of the room, Noah said, "Thank you Izzy. I needed to get everyone to shut up for a moment."
"Noah? You put Izzy up to this? What the hell were you thinking," Courtney angrily shouted.
Noah pointed at a clock and said, "Well, if you haven't noticed, your pointless arguing has taken up nearly an entire half hour of our time to cook. If we don't start now we may be doomed. Luckily I have been looking through the dusty cookbooks in this excuse for a kitchen and have come up with what I believe is an appropriate theme. The theme I have determined is foods from around the world."
Many stood in disbelief for a moment before Gwen said, "And what makes you think that would work?"
"Look around you Gwen. Everyone on this team, aside from Nicholas and Danny, will be on Total Drama World Tour. Since we will be flying around the world next season, we should give Chris foods from around the world," Noah stated as he smirked.
"You know, that might just work. Out of curiosity, what did you have in mind," Cody asked.
Noah passed a cookbook to the group and said, "First, I am adamant about making cheeseburgers for the entrée."
Danny raised an eyebrow and said, "Um, not to rain on your parade Noah, but somebody can get burgers anywhere."
"Ah, but the first hamburger sandwich was made in America. On top of that, this isn't just a burger, it's a cheeseburger. You see, it's the added dairy that makes it truly American," Noah countered.
"Makes sense to me. What else did you come up with," Danny replied as he shrugged.
Noah passed another cookbook around and said, "For the dessert, I believe we should make gelato, which is essentially the Italian version of ice cream. This is going to be the item that will take the longest to make."
Gwen looked over the steps on how to make gelato and she said, "I don't know, it seems kind of tough."
"But Gwen, that's all part of the fun," Izzy protested as she stood by a machine used to make ice cream.
Noah raised an eyebrow as he passed around one final cookbook, commenting, "Right. Anyways, the appetizer I was thinking should either be French or from Asia. I'm leaning more toward Asian cuisine because of the things we could do with rice."
"If you wish, we could make pork dumplings or something. Back home I work in a Chinese restaurant so I know how to prepare them," Danny offered.
The know-it-all nodded and said, "You know, that might just work. Well, we've wasted enough time. Let's get going!"
"Wait, who made you captain," Courtney asked, confused as to why she wasn't being offered the job.
"As I just said, we've wasted enough time. I formulated a plan as well as groups to make each food. Danny and Cody, you two work on the dumplings. Courtney and I will cook the burgers. That leaves Gwen, Nicholas and Izzy to make the gelato. Any objections," Noah proposed. When nobody spoke up, he said, "Well, don't just stand there! Let's get some work done!"
Restroom Confessional
Noah: I split up the teams the way I did for one reason, and that was to prevent any more time being lost by arguing. By keeping the feuding contestants separate, we may actually get some work done.
Courtney: I may not be happy that Noah took the leadership that should be mine, but I can't complain. He actually seemed like he was serious about getting this work done.
Team One, Nacho group (Mikey and Megan)
When their team split up into groups, Mikey was making a list of ingredients and listing them to Megan who was gathering them from the fridge. So far they had salsa, a block of cheese, some beef and a couple of jalapenos.
"Okay, so all we need from that supply closet is tortilla chips. I'm surprised we had as many supplies here as we did," Mikey commented.
Megan walked over and asked, "So why do we need salsa?"
The gamer nodded and said, "I figured we could put it on the side in case anybody wanted to have some salsa with their chips."
"Oh okay. That's a good idea. Say, do you want me to get the chips," Megan responded.
Mikey looked up from the list and said, "I was actually going to suggest we both go down to get them. I had an idea for which chips to use, but I want input from you."
Megan blinked in surprise and she replied, "Okay. Sure, let's go."
Mikey headed to the door and called out, "Geoff, Megan and I will be back soon."
"All right dude," the party boy called out to his gamer friend.
Restroom Confessional
Mikey: Well, with any luck I can talk to her alone. It's now or never. It's time I asked Megan out.
Team Two, Burger group (Noah, Courtney)
Noah had retrieved ground beef and American cheese from the fridge (he insisted they use American cheese, to keep with the American burger theme) while Courtney got buns and generic burger toppings, like lettuce, tomato and onion.
At one point, the CIT attempted to try and start a conversation, "I was kind of surprised when you said we would be working together Noah. I figured you would want to try to avoid suspicion by having the two of us in different groups."
Noah shrugged and said, "I did it simply to try to keep us from tearing each other's heads off. I needed to keep you and Gwen separate as well as Nicholas and Danny. I also had Cody be on a different team for a personal reason."
"Why? I thought Cody was your friend," Courtney asked as she quirked an eyebrow.
"Believe me, he is my friend, but I can't work together with him too often, lest people start to think otherwise," Noah replied.
Courtney was confused for a moment until it dawned on her, "I understand. You're still sensitive about people thinking you're gay, aren't you? I'm certain not everyone thinks that."
Noah cynically replied, "When all eight of your siblings and 90 percent of the students and teachers at your school seem to think so, it's not hard to assume that most people think the same way."
Courtney looked sympathetically at Noah for a moment before directing her attention to the task at hand.
Restroom Confessional
Courtney: I never knew Noah had it so rough. But he needs to stop listening to everybody else and instead listen to himself. Sure, people thought that I was going to become a totally different person when I started dating Duncan, but I proved them wrong.
Team One, Churro group (Bridgette, Jennifer)
The two blond-haired girls had consulted a cookbook and learned that churros were essentially nothing more than fried dough rolled into sticks and coated with a layer of cinnamon. With this in mind they got to work making a dozen or two of the Mexican dessert.
"So how are you holding up without Trent," Bridgette asked, attempting to start a conversation, "I mean, if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine."
Jennifer shook her head and said, "No, no. It's fine. I think it helps if I talk about him. To be honest, I miss him. I wish he were still in the contest. But I know that I'll see him again when I get voted off, so it's not the end of the world. Plus, I know that almost everybody is going to be eliminated eventually."
The surfer nodded and replied, "Well said. Now that I think about it, it is true that eventually, everybody but two will be eliminated. But hey, so far so good, right?"
"That's true. I think everybody would like to go all the way to the end though," the performing artist chuckled.
Bridgette giggled and said, "I can't argue with that."
Restroom Confessional
Bridgette: You know, even though I never really talked to Jennifer before today, I have to admit, she's a great person. We work really well together too. Who knows, maybe the two of us will go all the way to the end! (She thinks for a few seconds.) Nah, as much as I want to believe otherwise, I'll probably get eliminated later on.
Team One, Nacho group (Mikey, Megan)
The two teens made their way to the supply closet that Chris used to store the remainder of the supplies. Upon opening the door, they discovered nobody else was in the room. They entered the large supply room and the door swung shut.
Mikey appeared to be deep in thought as he walked alongside Megan to where chips could be looked at a bag of chips when Mikey suddenly asked, "Hey Megan? Can I ask you something?"
"Um sure. What is it, Mikey," the nice girl replied.
The gamer sighed and said, "Well, last night I woke up after feeling what almost felt like somebody kissing me. As I opened my eyes, I saw you exiting the room. I have no idea how long it took me to open my eyes, but I figured I would ask you if you knew what happened."
Megan wrung her hands as she looked away and said, "Well, I was the one who kissed you. I thought you were asleep and everything so I figured it would be safe."
Mikey didn't respond as he was deep in thought but Megan interpreted it a different way. She walked away and mumbled to herself, "I knew that was a bad idea. Why did I go through with it?"
After a minute or two she felt somebody tap her shoulder and she turned around to find herself face-to-face with a smiling Mikey. The gamer looked into the nice girl's eyes and they found themselves leaning in to kiss.
Neither backed out of the motion and they soon found their lips touching. After a sweet, tender kiss, Mikey backed off and said, "Megan, I've been mulling this over in my mind for a while now and was wondering, would you like to go out with me?"
"Yes! Of course I would," Megan replied as she hugged the gamer. The two looked into each other's eyes and they began to kiss again.
Restroom Confessional
Mikey: (He is staring off into space with a distracted look on his face. After a minute he notices the camera.) Hmm? Oh, don't mind me. (He continues to stare off into space.)
Megan: I'm so happy Mikey asked me out! Now I don't have to worry about that kiss being awkward anymore! (She pauses for a few seconds.) In case anyone was wondering, Mikey is the person I was talking about when I told Bridgette I had a crush on one of the guys here.
Team Two, Dumpling group (Danny, Cody)
The two teens were hard at work, Danny preparing the meat to go into the dumplings and Cody cutting the exterior of the dumplings. After cutting a piece the appropriate size, Cody would hand the dough-like exterior to Danny, who would put the meat inside and seal the appetizer.
At one point, Cody asked, "Are you sure you don't need any help? I may not have made dumplings before but it seems like it would make things easier for you."
"Don't worry about it Cody. And the only reason why I don't have you helping me is because you haven't made dumplings before. This is something that requires practice," Danny replied with a shrug.
"There must be something I can do to make things easier for you," the tech geek reasoned.
The honorable teen thought for a moment before saying, "Well, you could do something for me if you wanted to. You see how the meat is in that conveyor belt-like contraption."
Cody looked to see where his teammate was pointing and said, "Yeah, I see it."
"Good. The meat will get cooked to perfection so long as it travels all the way down the line. So if you want to help me, you could get the meat when it reaches the end of the conveyor belt. In addition, make sure the machine doesn't jam," Danny said as he pointed at the machine.
"You can count on me," Cody said as he headed over to the machine. It was silent for a minute before Cody asked, "If you don't mind me asking, why were you being a jerk to Nicholas yesterday?"
Danny glanced over to Cody and said, "Well, my reason is slightly selfish, but yesterday he wanted to do what he wanted, not taking my beliefs into account, and that made me upset."
"Oh," Cody said quietly as he thought over the conflict at hand.

Cody: I don't quite know about the conflict between Danny and Nicholas. I mean, Danny did have the right to be mad, but I don't think he went about resolving it the right way. At, least, that's how I look at it.
Team One, Taco group (Geoff, Joseph, Emily)
Geoff was happily cooking up some meat and humming a tune to himself. Emily smiled at Geoff's happy antics and turned to Joseph, who was helping her cut various toppings, like lettuce, tomato and cheese.
The dancer asked, "Geoff's enjoying himself, don't you think?"
"I suppose he is," Joseph commented, "I think it has to do with the fact that he gets to lead the team and he may be thinking about how well it went the last time he led a team in a challenge like this." After a moment of thinking, the overachiever chuckled, "Owen was on the other team last time however, and there's no real handicap on the other team. Well, there might be one."
Emily raised an eyebrow and asked, "There is? What is it?"
"Well, keep in mind who is on the team. Gwen and Courtney are at odds, mostly due to Courtney. On top of that, there's Nicholas and Danny, who have started feuding as of yesterday," Joseph pointed out.
"Oh, I see. So wait, why are you always around Courtney," Emily asked, confused.
Joseph shrugged and said, "Well, I wanted to solve mysteries surrounding the strange eliminations. I figured getting close to somebody who is influential may lead me to who is planning these eliminations."
Emily nodded and said, "That makes sense."
"What makes sense dudes," Geoff asked, entering the conversation.
"Nothing important. We were just talking about the other team," Joseph commented while shrugging.
Geoff blinked and said, "Oh well okay. So how goes those toppings?"
Emily giggled and said, "We cut them all up, no problem. Is the meat we're going to use gonna be ready?"
"Ch'yeah! It's almost done cooking. I'm gonna look over it until it's done. Can one of you two go and get the taco shells," Geoff asked.
Emily nodded and said, "I'll do it! I'll get tortillas and crunchy taco shells."
The party dude smiled and said, "That's awesome! We're gonna, like, totally ace this challenge!"
As the party dude cheered as he headed back to his station and the dancer went to get taco shells, Joseph chuckled to himself.
Restroom Confessional
Joseph: All I need to do to avoid suspicion is pretend like I'm one of the good guys. If I claim to be investigating the person behind the strange eliminations, people will believe me. That way, I can keep stirring up trouble and nobody will be the wiser.
Geoff: I totally think we have a shot of winning this! We got a great theme, everybody gets along, what more could we need?
Team Two, Gelato group (Gwen, Izzy, Nicholas)
Gwen sighed and face-palmed as Izzy brought back another group of ingredients she wanted to add to, as she put it, "E-Scope's Super Gelato Surprise." Personally, she wanted to make something simple, since preparing gelato was difficult enough without mixing in twenty-three other ingredients and counting.
"Izzy," Gwen called out as the crazy redhead prepared to get more ingredients, "Hold on a second. Don't you think all this is a little much?"
Izzy shook her head and said, "Nope! I'm used to making things with tons of ingredients in them."
Nicholas raised an eyebrow and said, "While that may or may not be true, the fact of the matter is I don't cook much at all and I'm guessing that Gwen doesn't either."
"No, I cook things at home. I've just never made ice cream or anything remotely similar to it," Gwen replied with a shrug.
"Same thing. Point is, you can't whatever you want to make for this. We have to work as a team," the mechanic said with a shrug.
Gwen smirked and said, "Nice motivating words."
Izzy sighed and said, "Okay, Izzy will stop getting ingredients for the gelato. But can we at least make a flavor Izzy wants to make?"
Nicholas and Gwen looked at each other before the goth girl said, "As long as we have time after making the first batch, I don't see why not."
Nicholas tapped his chin and commented, "So what type of flavor should we make?"
"Isn't it obvious," Izzy asked grinning as she held something behind her back.
"No, not really," Nicholas replied, "If it was we would have guessed it."
Izzy shook her head and pulled some chocolate out from behind her back and said, "Owen's one of the judges remember? If we make something with chocolate, we should win hands down!"
Gwen thought back and said, "That's right, he was lured to the finish line of the final challenge during TDI with chocolate brownies."
"Exactly! And if I know my Owen, which I do, he loves chocolate," Izzy shouted excitedly, causing some members of the other team to look over.
Restroom Confessional
Gwen: Izzy can be pretty clever when she comes up with a normal idea, as infrequent as those are. Chocolate would be a good step in helping us win, seeing how much Owen loves chocolates.
Nicholas: I figured Izzy was just some random person who may have escaped an insane asylum. But after listening to her explain something that made sense, it might be possible that she is a genius that escaped from an insane asylum. (He pauses and thinks for a few seconds). Wow, looking back just now, I was really harsh on Izzy. That doesn't mean she isn't crazy though.
After several hours of preparing, cooking, clamoring, and the burning of a few fingers, the time to serve the meals had arrived. Each team had three serving carts, with which they loaded up their food and headed for the gymnasium. When they arrived, the teens saw that a table had been set up and Chris, Chef Hatchet and Owen were all sitting down, some being more patient than others.
When Chris noticed everybody was present, he stood up and said, "Okay guys. Each team will serve their dishes to us one course at a time. We will need both of the dishes at once because we will individually decide whose was better and award that team a point. That means that during each round, each team can earn three points total. Whichever team gets five or more points will win, because there will be no way for the either team to win. The losing team will be sent to elimination where a special twist will occur."
"What do you mean, special twist," Geoff asked, confused.
"I'm glad you asked Geoff! You see, tonight, everybody will be voting for somebody on the losing team," Chris said and then waited for suspense.
The suspense was interrupted however, by Izzy, who asked, "Is that all?"
Chris shook his head and smiled and said, "Nope! You see, everybody is voting because the two people with the most votes will be eliminated!"
"Wait a second! Didn't you say that only one person would be eliminated per day but now you're eliminating two," Gwen asked.
"Yeah, so," Chris asked, loving the confusion supplied by the teens.
Mikey spoke up, "That's against the rules, isn't it?"
Chris smiled and said, "Screw the rules, I have money! And I'm the host!"
From the table, Owen asked, "So, can we eat now?"
"Yes! Thanks for changing the subject Owen! It's time to eat," Chris announced.
At this point both teams laid their dome-covered dishes out in front of the three judges. Team One's domes were gold while Team Two's domes were silver. Once all the domes were laid out, they were opened revealing the loaded nachos and dumplings to the judges.
"Wow, I have to say, this looks pretty good," Chris said examining the meals, "What do you two think?"
Sounds of eating were heard as Chris looked at Owen, who was holding a chip bit in half in his hand. "Hee hee, sorry. It all just looked so good, I had to eat it," the large teen cried out.
Chris looked at his intern for a second before saying, "Well put Owen. Let's eat!"
It was quiet for a few minutes as Chris, Chef Hatchet and Owen ate their nachos and dumplings. Once the three judges were finished eating, Chris looked at the two teams and said, "Well, I think it's time we passed judgment on the appetizers. Owen would you like to go first?"
The fat teen nodded and said, "Well, I thought both dishes were delicious but the nachos just had so many flavors. I have to give my point to Team One."
"Well, like Tubby here, I noticed the multiple flavors in the nachos too," Chef said, giving his opinion, "But to me, there were too many flavors in the nachos. The dumplings on the other hand, were cooked perfectly and have a nice, bold taste. My point goes to Team Two."
Chris nodded and said, "Well, I have to agree with Chef and Owen. Both dishes were delicious, but I happened to like the multiple flavors of the nachos just a little bit more than the dumplings." Team One cheered when they learned they had a slight lead over Team Two.
Restroom Confessional
Mikey and Megan – Mikey: I'm surprised Chris and Owen liked the nachos as much as they did.
Megan: Why is that?
Mikey: I figured that the nachos were going to be our weakest dish.
Megan: Oh, don't downplay your ideas. They were good.
Mikey: I guess they were.
Danny: Am I annoyed that my dish lost? Not really. It was merely luck of the draw that the other team won more points. Nothing to worry about.
Chris clapped his hands and said, "Onto the next dish!" Geoff and Noah laid the platters out in front of the three judges.
Once all was ready, Geoff lifted the domes off of his trays and said, "Well, enjoy dude."
"Hopefully you like my dish better than his," Noah remarked as he pulled the covers off of his trays.
Chris looked at the tacos and cheeseburger in front of him and said, "Tacos huh? It seems a little similar to the nachos but whatever. Let's eat!"
The three judges took to eating the two main dishes in front of them. It took about ten or so minutes for the judges to eat the tacos and cheeseburger, and the five teens who prepared the food anxiously awaited the judgment that was to be passed on to them.
After the three taste testers were done sampling the food, Chris grinned and said, "Well Owen? What did you think?"
Owen licked his lips and said, "Well, the tacos were good, but kinda crunchy, and they tasted similar to the nachos. But the burger, it was delicious! It was grilled perfectly and the toppings tasted so good! I don't even like vegetables on burgers! So, um yeah, the burger was better. Noah gets a point for his team."
"I still have to agree with Owen here. Burger was perfect. Tacos tasted like the nachos I just had. I'm giving my point to Team Two," Chef grumbled as he sat down.
Chris wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Well, while I did happen to love the burger, I personally thought the tacos were better. They had a certain texture to them that I happened to love. So my point goes to Team One, meaning the score is tied going into the final course!" The teams both nodded and prepared their desserts, hoping theirs would win over two of the tree judges.
Restroom Confessional
Geoff: (His hat is tipped down over his face). Well that was kind of depressing dudes. I thought we were doing good. Well, hopefully Bridge and Jennifer manage to pull through for us. I don't know if there is anyone on our team who I would vote for if we lost.
Emily: I'm kind of conflicted. I want my team to win but at the same time, I want Cody's team to win so he isn't at risk to be eliminated. There's really no positive way out of this situation, is there.
Courtney: As weird as it is for me to say this, I'm kind of hoping my team loses. I actually like most of the people on the other team, and even those that I'm not friendly with I can tolerate. My team on the other hand, let's just say there are some people who get on my nerves.
Chris: (The host chuckles). When I find out who it was that planned the Mexican theme, I'm going to have to congratulate them. I actually love Mexican food.
Chef Hatchet: (The cook looks happy) Pretty boy said if I draw this challenge out as long as possible by making the final round a tie, Chris said he would give me one of my overdue paychecks! Maybe I can finally afford something to eat besides instant noodles in the time between seasons.
As the teams prepared their desserts, tension was in the air. The contestants knew that this last round could make or break them. As the five teens that prepared desserts got ready, their teammates offered them words of encouragement.
"Good luck babe," Geoff told Bridgette as he gave her a small kiss.
Mikey placed a hand on Jennifer's shoulder and said, "Good luck."
Danny looked at Nicholas and said, "Don't screw this up."
"Why you-," Nicholas began to say as Gwen put her hand on his shoulder and shook her head, silently telling the mechanic it wasn't worth it. Courtney rolled her eyes at the attempts the gothic teen made to keep the team unified.
Finally, the time had come and the lids were removed from the serving platters revealing the churros and the gelato. Chris, Chef Hatchet and Owen all got ready to dig into the sweet end of the challenge. Patience wore thin for one of them and soon, Owen was busy eating the desserts that he was given. Chris and Chef took this as a sign to begin eating and so they started devouring the cinnamon-covered dough and the rich, frozen treat.
Roughly five minutes later, the three were done. Owen let out a satisfied belch and said, "Wow, that was delicious!"
"I'll say Owen," Chris replied. After a moment of silence Owen farted, prompting the host to say, "Owen! Dude, what the hell?"
"Sorry Chris, but cinnamon gives me gas," the happy-go-lucky teen replied, smiling sheepishly.
Chris face-palmed and said, "Whatever Owen. Make your decision on which team won quickly so you can be dismissed for the day." Under his breath the host muttered, "I don't need you stinking up the place."
Owen smiled and said, "Well, I liked both desserts, but I have to give the edge to Izzy's team and it's not just because Izzy is on it. The gelato was so creamy and awesome. And while the churros were delicious, they gave me gas, so yeah." The big guy got up to leave and he waved bye, saying, "See ya guys! I'll probably see you soon!"
As the winner of Total Drama Island left the gymnasium, Chef Hatchet stood up. The tough chef cleared his throat and said, "Well, after much consideration, I have decided that while the gelato was really good, I think the better dessert was the churros. Just the way that they were rolled and sprinkled with cinnamon was fantastic. Point to Team One."
Chris chuckled and said, "Well, it looks like everything is up to me now, isn't it? Each team has four points so whichever dessert I liked more will give the team that made it the win. Yes, both desserts were delicious and you are all good cooks. However a decision has to be made and I have decided that the better dessert is the churros. I like fried food more than frozen food. On top of that, the gelato was boring vanilla. If it had been at least chocolate, it would have done better. So congratulations Team One. You guys win. Team Two, you have one hour before the elimination, where two of you will be going home. See you guys then!"
Restroom Confessional
Gwen: Wow, I kinda blew that, didn't I? Izzy insisted on making something complex and if we had, we may have won. That doesn't matter now. Courtney has got to go before she drives me insane.
Bridgette: I'm surprised the churros did so well. I mean, it's not really complicated. It's just fried dough. But a win is a win, I suppose. I just hope this elimination goes by without any major drama.
Very shortly after the challenge ended, Gwen stopped Mikey and Megan in a hallway. After pulling them to the side, Gwen said, "Guys, I need to ask you a favor."
"Sure, what is it," Mikey asked.
"I need you two to vote for Courtney. She's been gunning for me for a while now and I think I might be going home tonight. So if I'm going down, she's going to go down with me," Gwen explained.
Megan looked to the side as if she was nervous and Mikey scratched the back of his head. Gwen caught on to this and asked, "What? You two aren't going to help me?"
"No, that's not it at all! We're just confused," Megan said as she turned back to face the goth girl.
"Yeah," Mikey added, "You see, Nicholas asked us right after the challenge ended to vote for Danny. He wanted to avenge his girlfriend."
Gwen sighed and asked the gamer and nice girl, "Well, can you two at least consider voting for Courtney?"
Megan nodded and said, "Of course! We haven't decided completely yet."
Gwen managed to smile very slightly as she said, "Thanks."
Restroom Confessional
Gwen: Yeah, I'm pessimistic today, but with fourteen votes to draw upon, Courtney could easily get enough people to vote for me. My only hope is a three way tie, because the two people with the highest votes get eliminated, according to Chris. Let's hope my endeavors work out.
Mikey: I'm very confused, honestly. Gwen was one of my first friends but Nicholas is doing what he can to avenge his girlfriend, which I find admirable. I just hope whatever decision I make, it's the right one.
In another part of the school, Joseph confronted one of the people on the winning team. "Oh, hey Joseph, what's up," the person asked.
Joseph smiled and said, "Oh, I just wanted to say a few things. First of all, I wanted to celebrate our victory earlier. We couldn't have won without your hard work."
The person laughed a little and said, "We wouldn't have won if it wasn't for Mikey's idea and for our teamwork."
"Yes, well my other piece of business is I heard something you might like to know about," Joseph said as he leaned close to the person's ear and whispered something.
After Joseph was done, a wave of emotions swept over the person's face: first surprise, then sadness and finally anger. "How dare she? I can't believe she would lie about something like this," the person angrily shouted.
The overachiever assured the mystery person, "Relax. Just vote for her and everything else should fit into place. Just remember, she can't know I'm on to her." As the mystery person left to cast her vote, Joseph walked away, chuckling darkly.
Restroom Confessional
Joseph: It seems quite simple. I simply need to bend the truth a little and a major threat is gone. And all I need to do to get rid of my suspicion is to keep pretending like I'm trying to learn the truth. Nobody would suspect the "detective" as the person pulling the strings.
In yet another part of the school, Nicholas was talking to Geoff and Bridgette. "So that's why I would like your assistance in voting for Danny. I just want to avenge the elimination of my girlfriend," Nicholas finished explaining to the couple.
Geoff seemed to have trouble debating the idea, but Bridgette's eyes lit up at his story. The surfer smiled and said, "I think I'll vote for Danny."
Nicholas and Geoff both sputtered, "Y-you will?"
"Yeah. I don't want to vote for either Gwen or Courtney, since they're both my friends and you're the only other person to ask me about voting, so why not," Bridgette said as she smiled.
Geoff scratched his head under his hat for a few seconds before he said, "Yeah, okay. I guess I can vote for Danny."
Restroom Confessional
Bridgette: I know Gwen and Courtney aren't going to be happy with my decision, but I can't pick a side. I would much rather be on the sidelines so I don't have to feel like I'm betraying one of my friends. So I guess I'll vote for Danny.
Courtney: The time has come for me to get rid of Gwen. She won't be getting any farther and by default, she won't impress Duncan any more. I won't let her steal my boyfriend from me.
Gwen: Well, I talked to a few people and I think I have enough people to get rid of Courtney alongside myself. Ideally, it'll be Courtney and Danny, but I'll be happy so long as Courtney doesn't do better than I do.
As the students filed into the auditorium for the elimination, Chris was talking with Chef at his podium. Once all of the contestants were assembled, Chris cleared his throat and said, "Well, who's ready for today's double elimination?"
Courtney glared at Gwen, who sent a glare right back. Nicholas could've bore holes into the back of Danny's head with his intense glare. A couple other people were casting glares at other people for one reason or another.
Chris chuckled and said, "It looks like there's some tension abound. That's great for ratings. Now, as you know, I have only five passes. The two people who do not receive a pass will have to immediately walk the hall of shame and board the bus of losers. And they will not be able to come back ever! The following students have received hall passes: Cody, Noah and Izzy!"
The three Total Drama veterans claimed their passes and joined the seven immune contestants. "Next up with the fewest votes is Nicholas," Chris announced as the mechanic walked forward to claim his safety item.
When Nicholas sat down with the immune contestants, Chris said, "Well, it looks like at least one rivalry will end tonight. But the question is which person will stay? Which one of you got the fewest votes? Let me tell you. The final hall pass of the night goes to…"
…

"Courtney!"
The CIT simply smirked as she walked forward and claimed her hall pass. She smiled and said in a smug tone, "This doesn't really surprise me. You should have learned never to cross me, Gwen."
The goth girl, fed up with Courtney, shouted, "Tell me Courtney, what the hell did I ever do to cross you?"
"I saw the way you and Duncan interacted on TDA. You were clearly trying to win him over with your gothic charms," Courtney seethed.
"If that's your only reason for this grudge against me, then you're pathetic Courtney. In case it wasn't obvious, Duncan is madly in love with you," Gwen said in reply.
Courtney crossed her arms and said, "Yeah, but I've seen him flirting with you!"
Gwen raised an eyebrow and said, "You mean when he teases me the way he teases everyone else? If you think that's flirting then why aren't you jealous at virtually every other person Duncan talks to?"
The CIT stomped the ground in frustration and said, "No it's different because you like the same types of movies and music as he does."
Gwen rolled her eyes as she turned around and said, "You know what? I don't have to deal with you spewing crap. You need to learn how friends behave before you can come close to realizing how wrong you are."
As Courtney stood there speechless, Gwen walked out of the auditorium. After things had calmed down, Nicholas approached Danny and smirked before saying, "Well, it looks like I've avenged my girlfriend."
"How does eliminating me avenge your girlfriend's elimination," Danny asked calmly as he stood up.
"It isn't obvious? I admit, I was a bit of a jerk to you, but you retaliated by voting off my girlfriend. So now I have the last laugh because I'm still here and you aren't," Nicholas said, his cocky smirk still on his face.
Danny chuckled and said, "You don't pay attention when you're angry, do you? I wouldn't organize anyone's elimination. I was here to play with honor, if you remember. It would go against my code to try to get somebody specifically eliminated."
The mechanic looked to the side as if in thought for a moment before he said, "Well, I don't know if I can trust your word."
Danny shrugged and said, "So be it. Just let it be known that from now on, we are rivals." With that, the honorable teen waved goodbye to everyone else and joined Gwen outside, where the two walked to the bus together.
Bus Confessional
Gwen: Well, to put it simply, this sucked. I had a target on my back the entire contest and the challenges kind of sucked. At the very least, I met some awesome new people. As for all of my friends, good luck guys! Kick Courtney's butt for me!
Danny: I feel like I've played a good game. Sure, I only made it to the halfway point, but I did so by playing honorably. I've lived up to my expectations and hopefully next time I shall do even better.
It was shortly after the elimination when Joseph was seen standing in an empty room. He looked deep in thought before he said, "Well, it looks like a major threat is out of my hair. However, before I can really dominate this game, I have to get rid of another thorn in my side. Before anyone realizes what I'm doing, the money shall be mine and I will show that person that I can succeed."
Chris paused the footage of Joseph talking from a room that appeared to be used for producing TV shows, since there was an array of screens behind him. "I gotta love that guy. He really brings in ratings, and we're gonna need them now that the two major conflicts have been resolved," Chris said before pausing a pressing a couple other buttons to reveal some other video clips. The host looked at the screens for a moment more before he said, "Well, after a ton of delicious meals, Gwen and Danny have been eliminated. Will Courtney actually be happy because of this? Will Nicholas be happy? What is Joseph's next plan, and who is the person he's targeting next? Find out the answers to all of these questions, as well as the most dramatic elimination yet! Next time on Total Drama High School!"

Contestants remaining: Geoff, Noah, Cody, Bridgette, Courtney, Izzy, Mikey, Nicholas, Joseph, Emily, Megan, Jennifer (12 remaining)
Fun Facts!
Gwen's role in the story was initially less than it is now. When I was planning out the eliminations, she was going to leave before Heather. However, once I realized a flaw with how that would work out, I switched it so that Gwen got the last laugh between her and Heather.
Danny was also going to leave earlier because I hadn't developed any plot lines for him to follow. However, once I settled on making him feud with Nicholas, I decided he had to stick around.
Well another chapter is complete, just in time for Thanksgiving too! Well, at least for American readers. Anyways, I have a few reasons as to why this chapter is up so late. First of all, my computer had gotten a virus so that had to be worked out. Then about a week later I got hit by Winter Storm Alfred, which was the snowstorm at the end of October that virtually shut down the Northeast for a week. So yeah, sorry about that but I can't control the weather. Onto other business, last I checked only one person so far has voted in the poll on my profile. Can a few more people please vote in it? I would like at least between three and five votes minimum, so if you would vote, I would appreciate it. Also, reviewing would be nice. This chapter is the 13th chapter and I only have 22 reviews. That's less than 2 reviews a chapter! I actually feel kind of sad about this, because I have seen some fics that are absolute crap that have more reviews than I do. Before I close this author's note, I want to point out that the go-kart designs from last chapter were based off various karts from Mario Kart Wii. To be specific, the karts were the Flame Flyer, the Offroader, the Wild Wing, a Standard Kart, and the Blue Falcon, in that order. Also in the little reference tag, the name of the website that produces Death Battle was cut off. For anyone interested, the website is ScrewAttack. Well, that wraps up this author's note I think. Until Next Time!
Next Time: Four contestants have been eliminated so it's time for another aftermath!
