Summer And Magic – Delightness or Disgustness?
Sylvia, Chef, and Alejandro are in the middle of the room, they have a yellow light over them to make a sun-like effect, and tropical music is heard in the room. In front of them are standing Sky, Leonard, and Lindsay. The blond, instead of wearing her usual blue bandana, is wearing the infamous Chef's chef hat.
"Welcome to the second round of the show, we call it Delightness or Disgustness? The winner of this round will take home the 10,000 dollars prize. You can forget about the last round because all of you start from scratch, so you have the same chance to win the money by making this cake. Alehunkdro, can you do the honors?" asked Sylvia making a flirty smile.
"Por supuesto, señorita. Summer is a synonym of many things, vacations, parties, beach, sun, travels, but for some selected few, this also means Total Drama. So this cake is the embodiment of that feeling, if you could give a face to that concept, and make a cake for it, this will be the result, the only, the unique, the grotesco…"
A drum roll began as the door number two opens, then the sound is replaced by the song 'Sexy and I know it' by LMFAO, and from inside it is revealed a bust of Chris Mclean made of cake, the host is with his smug smile and showing his teeth. The cake had his iconic dark blue shirt, and even his hair looks as good looking and perfectly trimmed as the original.
"The Chris McLean cake!" said Alejandro in a fake excited voice.
"Alejandro, what is grotesco?" asked Sylvia with a quizzical smile.
"It means gorgeous," lied the Spaniard. It really means hideous.
Leonard moves his arms in front of him making some protection signs, Sky glare with contempt at the cake, and Lindsay looks at it with curiosity.
"Is he famous? His face seems totally familiar," asked Lindsay.
"Lindsay, he is Chris McLean, he is the host of the Total Drama series, the same series you take part during four seasons," answered Sylvia concerned.
"I was thinking about that, I was sure it was from the show or from the mall," said Lindsay smiling happily.
"Resolved that issue, Chef, can you tell us how to make this cake?" asked Sylvia, smiling at Chef.
"Yes, Sylvia, listen up maggots, this is a chocolate cake, you need to make three layers of it and use it as the shoulders of Chris. Then you had to use those damn foam mannequin heads to create the mug of your beloved host. The details are created with fondant and modeling chocolate. Put a lot of effort in the face because it will be the main point to judge as presentation, you will have 2 hours to finish it, DO YO UNDERSTOOD?" said Chef in a loud martial voice.
"Did you see our waffles? There is no way we could do something like this, we are amateurs," said Sky with a worried expression on her face.
"We know this challenge is hard, so in this round, we will give you some help, in all your kitchens there is an emergency button, press it and Chef will assist you resolving any question you have and giving useful advice during 3 minutes," said Sylvia smiling as she explains.
The three campers look disappointed at the 'help' they will get this round, but only Lindsay talk.
"That doesn't sound like that much helpful, Does Chad even know how to bake?" said the blonde. Chef replies by glaring at her and clenching his teeth.
"Of course girl, Chef is a professional, he can help you if you get stuck, if you don't believe me try pushing the button," said Sylvia with a tender smile, then she faces toward the Larper.
"And Leonard, because you had a hard time in the past round, we are giving you an extra button, the brunch of disgustness button. When you press it, your two opponents will take a forced rest from their baking and eat a not so tasty treat made by our staff. They will be out for 3 minutes or until they finish their meal," explains Sylvia.
"Thanks for the miscellaneous item, but I didn't have a hard time the last-" began to tell her Leonard, before being interrupted.
"Do you have more questions? I hope not because your 2 hours are already running out, so go, go, go," said Sylvia in an excited voice.
Leonard, Sky, and Lindsay run to their kitchen to look at the recipe, Sky jumping over the table to win a few seconds, while Alejandro, Chef, and Sylvia go to sit at the judge's table.
Lindsay table
"So I had to make a cake of Kyle, I don't know how I could forget his face, maybe it was because he was so mean in the last season," said the Dumb princess as she read the recipe.
"Chocolate cake, I can't make a cake as good as the one Gaston, the family chef, makes, it must be the sweetest, low caloric piece of chocolate cake that you can taste. Oh no, now I want to eat cake. My personal trainer will kill me," said Lindsay putting her hands on her cheeks.
Lindsay then remembers what she was doing and end reading the recipe, then takes from the storage room the ingredients to start making her batter.
"There is some kind of problem with the chocolate cakes, they are so yummy, but they are also no good for you, but if they are not good for you, they should be like poisonous or taste bad. You know when you eat it you think, 'Hey! This is bad for me.' That they taste sooo good is misleading," said Lindsay as she put the ingredients to make the batter.
Leonard table
"Those ignorant muggles, I didn't have a hard time the last round, I only acted like this because it was needed for the future I foresaw, but now I can display the true power of my alchemical skills," said Leonard raising both arms.
"First I need to go back to the rudimentary item shop they have in that other room and retrieve the mundane ingredients required to create the homunculus, I only hope it doesn't come to life, the world couldn't resist the existence of 2 Chris McLean," said Leonard, then walking to the storage room.
Leonard takes the pans, and the ingredients to make the chocolate cake and return to his kitchen, where he reread the recipe.
"There is something mysterious, I had to mix the ingredients using this strange invention called stand mixer. I only wish this was not so technological, but even if I am not a tinkerer, I have enough intelligence and wisdom that I can surely use it without problems," said Leonard putting his hands inside his wizard robe sleeves.
Leonard then began to examine the stand mixer cautiously, first the levers and then the bowl, losing some time before learning how to use it.
Sky table
"Really? I have to make a cake with the face of Chris McLean? Argh! I can't think of someone more ruthless and despicable than that man, but even then, I'm not a quitter, so I will make the best cake even if it means looking at his stupid smile," said Sky, looking for the ingredients in the storage room.
"Look at this, apricot jam, my mother always put apricot jam in the chocolate cake, the recipe didn't mention it but let's give it a try," said Sky running to her kitchen.
"Now I need to make at least 3 chocolate cakes, ooh! My stomach is rumbling only thinking about it, but I can't eat chocolate, I am an athlete, I need to be strict with my diet," Sky then put the first batch of ingredients on the stand mixer, and turn it on.
"That's it, I have enough willpower, I only need to keep baking and ignoring the delicious, bitter and toasted aroma of this chocolate powder," Sky comes closer to the powder with sparkling eyes, the shakes her head "No Sky, willpower," before concentrating in cooking again.
Judges table
"And Alejandro, do you know how to bake?" asked Sylvia, smiling at the Spaniard.
"Querida Sylvia, I have the rare talent of knowing how to do everything and doing it better than most," said Alejandro with a smug smile.
"So you can bake, what is your favorite dessert?" said Sylvia.
"I generally don't like to eat too much sweet food, but I have a weakness for churros con chocolate, it's a Spanish fried-dough pastry covered in sugar and eaten with hot chocolate. I simply can't resist them," said Alejandro with a sheepishly (and probably fake) smile.
"Just like me," said Sylvia, " the difference is that I simply can't resist any dessert or pastry, not only those churros," said Sylvia laughing, "and now we have a surprise, Blaineley, please!"
The former Celebrity manhunt host comes into the set wearing a red bikini with a dark blue long skirt cover-up, she had silver sunglasses and a hair clip with the form of a red Magnolia. She is pushing a cart with a kettle and also a display with many cupcakes.
"I can't believe you are doing a bust of Chris instead of one of me, I'm most famous and better looking," said Blaineley as she put the kettle and the pastries on the table.
"Sorry, Blaineley, but he is an icon, maybe in the next episode," said Sylvia.
"Of course, I will love to see it," said Blaineley, going out of the set with an arrogant smile.
"Madre mia, hot chocolate, and cupcakes, but is not a bad idea to eat before judging in a baking show?" asked Alejandro with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, there are more than 80 minutes before time's up, so enjoy," said Sylvia with an impish smile.
"Hot Chocolate," Chef chuckle. "This is one of Chris' favorite drinks," said Chef before drinking.
"You know a lot about Chris, right?" asked Sylvia with a quizzical smile.
"The man is more or less a friend, yes I hate him because he owes me all my paychecks form from last season, ALL my damn money. But again, when he pays is a good friend," said Chef with a sadistic smile, "so you hear me Chris, WHERE IS MY MONEY?" Chef shout pointing at the camera as the three campers look at him nervously.
"Don't worry, Chef I am sure he is gonna pay you," said Sylvia rubbing the big man's hand.
Alejandro blinks a couple of times while seeing the scene, he doesn't eat the cakes, but he drinks some hot chocolate, it's just as his girlfriend, bitter and sweet, and absolutely hot.
Leonard Table
"I conquered the stand mixer, and now all the elements to complete the ritual of transmutation are here. Let's begin, the first step says I had to apply heat to the concoction inside the pans to create the chocolateus substance I need to create the shoulders," said Leonard as he puts the pans on the oven.
"Now, while the concoction is transmuting, I will begin making the face of my homunculus. If I could make a metamorphosis spell, this would be too easy, but I made a solemn oath of not using my magic during the challenge, and an Archmage always keeps their vows."
Leonard began to knead the modeling chocolate but is too hard, and it doesn't budge.
"This strange compound known as modeling chocolate is not budging at my will, maybe I don't have the necessary strength, but I am a mage, we don't need brutish strength to do our work," Leonard put his hands on his sleeves, "but again if I don't defeat this modeling chocolate my adversaries will take the lead, there must be something I can do."
While Leonard thinks, his modeling chocolate bar rolls next to the brunch of disgustness button.
Sky Table
"It was not easy, but my pans are in the oven, and now I can begin with the next step, that is preparing the buttercream, it doesn't sound too hard," but as Sky read the recipe, she starts to frow.
"Why is it chocolate buttercream!? And just when I make the batter without eating the cocoa, now I have to prepare a lot of sweet and creamy chocolate flavored buttercream," Sky eyes sparkle again, "that I will definitely not eat," she then put the butter, the sugar powder, and the cocoa and turn on the mixer.
"I need to distract my mind of the chocolate so I will start kneading the-" Sky stops talking for a moment, and then frowns angrily, " modeling chocolate!? Oh, come on! Does all in this recipe must have chocolate? I love chocolate, but I can't eat it. It's too many fats," said Sky hitting her head against the table.
"Chef, it looks like Sky is having some problems," said Sylvia while drinking some hot chocolate.
"Maybe the hardhead doesn't like chocolate," said Chef as he eats another cupcake.
Lindsay Table
"This buttercream is like, looking good, maybe? Well, it doesn't look bad, but I need help to make Kyle face, I don't have my makeup case and only can use this strange thing, maybe I can ask Chip to help me," Lindsay then presses the Emergency button.
The sound of the alarm fills the room as Sylvia starts to funnily call for help.
"It's an Emergency Chef, we have an Emergency call, Oh NO Emergency!" said Sylvia in an exaggerated manner, then face toward Alejandro and ask him, "Alejandro, how do you say Emergency in Spanish?"
"Emergencia," reply the Arch-villain.
"That is the more boring translation you tell us today," said a very disappointed Sylvia. Alejandro only shrugs as his reply.
"Ok blond dumb, tell me what you want?" said Chef, who is already in Lindsay kitchen.
"Look, Chuck, I need to learn how too model this paste. It is too hard, and I can't knead it," said Lindsay.
"It's Chef, and you need to apply more strength, it will not break, is like play dough," explain Chef, "Also beware of the heat, because it can melt."
"You are right, Chad, this Chef substance is like play dough," said Lindsay giggling, "now I have to put it on the mannequin head like a face mask?"
"That's not Chef, I'm Chef. This is modeling chocolate, and yes, you cover the head with it, then apply the fondant and the details over it," explain Chef, his temple vein pulsing.
"Oh sorry, Chad, silly me I thought the modeling Chocolate was called Chef when you are the Chef Chad, now I got it," said Lindsay smiling.
Chef faces slap, but before he could reply to the dumb princess, another whacko yell in the room.
"Release the Kraken," shout Leonard as he presses the brunch of disgustness button.
The dinner bell sounds fill the room, as Chef looks toward Lindsay.
"Come on blondie, follow me, you have a date with a nasty surprise," said Chef laughing.
"I will prefer, like, a not nasty surprise," replies Lindsay following the cook.
Brunch of Disgustingness Button
"Listen up maggots, you now have to taste one of the more classic and hardcore treats we have on the show. After you taste it, you have to wait for 3 minutes or finish it before you can go back to your kitchen," Chef chuckle, "That is if you can taste it at all."
Two staff members put to plates covered with steel cloches, one in front of each girl, Sky looks nervously at hers while Lindsay looks at her reflection and fix her horrendous hat a little.
"If you feel like throwing out, please use the designated cubes that are next to your seats, and remember this is a baking show, so don't be too gross," said Chef, with a full smile that shows the gap on his teeth.
"Today is a cocktail, freshly blended cockroaches, Bon appetite," said chef winking an eye.
The staff retires the metal cloches from the plate, revealing three shot glasses in each plate, with a dark brown substance inside.
"Augh," yelled someone from the judge's table. Alejandro was running out of the set, his face green and covering his mouth with a hand.
Lindsay and Sky look at each other with an anguish expression on her faces.
"No no no no, I can't drink this, Terry, I mean Tyler will not kiss me again," said Lindsay moving her arms and closing his eyes.
Sky took a deep breath, she didn't know Terry, but the boy in her mind would NEVER kiss her after this, but she had to win.
"Lindsay, don't think," Sky closes her eyes and drink in one go the first glass.
The blond girl gets courage seeing the athlete, so she began to drink the first glass, but as soon as she swallows the first sip, she takes the bucket and throws up.
Sky instead drink in one go the second, and the third glass, looking more sickly and dizzy, but as soon as she stands up, she burps, takes her bucket, and throws up.
Sky recovers and goes back to her kitchen, while Lindsay, with a green color on her face, decides to wait for the three minutes to pass.
"Chad, you are so mean," said Lindsay stumbling back to her kitchen.
"These kids lack a spine, I cannot believe they get so sick for a damn cockroach," Chef said, shaking his head, "by the way, where is Don Juan."
"He ran out of the studio when you reveal the treat, maybe you are proud but this is the most disgusting treat I have seen in my life, and I have been doing reality shows for more than 10 years," said Sylvia glaring at Chef.
Chef rubs his neck "ok, maybe it was too much," he apologized, but actually, he enjoyed it.
Sky Table
Sky is washing her face, her cakes are out of the oven, but are still in the tray, she was scowling and tense, after she finishes, she takes a paper towel and dries her face.
"This was unexpected, but I will not give up, if anything I'm more determined to win the money. I will be an Olympic, so they can not break me with this kind of tricks," she slaps her own cheeks and takes the first pan, but the cake is stuck.
"Just great, now it doesn't want to come out, well fine by me, if the cake wants to play rough I will play rough, I have a lot of steam
to blow off," said Sky smirking and still scowling.
She walks toward the table where her partial build Chris stands and began to tap (well more hit than a tap) her pan, harder and harder.
"Sky, please don't break the pans, they can be used again after the first cake," jokes Sylvia, the athlete answer is glare daggers at the host, "also, if you have problems with the cake, you can use your emergency button," adds the Sylvia with a sincere smile.
Sky stand still for a moment and crock her head, then hit the emergency button with her fist.
Lindsay Table
"This was as mean as the time Chat force Lashauna and Oliver this same drink when we were competing in the island. And it tasted as bad as I thought. Well, maybe not as bad as I thought, but still was yucky," said Lindsay as she takes the cakes from the oven.
"Caking is a lot like tanning, you apply a little oil before for the best results, also Chat was right for baking is best using butter than tanning oil, but that's logical, you heat the cake in an oven, not with the sun, duh," said Lindsay smiling, her cakes coming out of the pan easily.
"Now I need to use the blue playdough to make Kyle shirt, the problem is that is, like, so last decade, I'm sure that Kyle uses this shirt because is part of his TV character, if not he would surely use something more fashionable," said Lindsay as she began to knead the fondant.
"That's like, a great idea, not because it is a cake, he must dress old-fashioned, I can make a better shirt," she stands up and runs to the storage room to look for more material.
"You just had to love how enthusiastic is Lindsay with everything she does, she is a slow starter, but once committed she is full of energy," said Sylvia as the blond runs to the storage room.
"Yes, but the problem is that the damn airhead is always trying the most weirds and stupid ideas," said Chef, then Sylvia glare at him, which made him nervous, "what with that face? is true."
Leonard Table.
"The preparations for the ritual for creating the homunculus are at hand, the lower half is already in place, weird enough there was not enough material to make the shoulders as tall as they should be. Intriguing, but there is no time to analyze it," Leonard takes the blue fondant and kneads it.
"Now I need to transform this sugar paste into a cloth shirt, that would be trivial if I could use my magic, but with only alchemy, it would be no easy task. But there is no other way, without the cloth, all the inner organs of the homunculus will be exposed, and that will freak the judges.
But Leonard starts using the fondant without using flour or corn starch, so while he kneads it, it becomes more and more sticky, adhering on his hands and becoming impossible to use.
"For the lost eye of Wotan, this ooze is alive and is attacking me. Get off me spawn of Juiblex, you may be ferocious, but you have no idea who you are dealing with. If only I could use my magic, a simple evocation spell would be enough to destroy you beyond healing. So heed my word, surrender or be destroyed," Leonard keep shouting and hitting his hands, covered in fondant, against the table. Sylvia and Chef looking at him, amused.
Judge Table
"Welcome back, Alejandro. Are you feeling better?" said Sylvia with a worried expression.
"I can't believe you did something so gross in a baking show, can you not make something simple like annoy them or make them unable to bake for 3 minutes?" said Alejandro glaring at Chef and Sylvia.
"Man, that will be too damn boring," replied Chef folding his arms.
"Do you remember this is a baking show, right? Anyway, I hope there are no more nasty surprises," said Alejandro, also folding his arms.
"Sorry, Alejandro, we didn't know it will affect you so much," explains Sylvia with puppy eyes.
"Don't worry señorita, I am pretty scrupulous about food, so that challenge was too much for me to handle," said Alejandro shrugging.
"And tell us about your family Alejandro, you have quite the family," said Sylvia with her quizzical smile.
"There is not much to tell about them Sylvia," said Alejandro with a proud smile, "My father works as a member of the diplomat mission on the Spanish Consulate General in Toronto, my mother is an actress that work for the Luna theatre company, and my Big Brother Carlos is a professional soccer player that plays in La Liga in Spain, we are not that great, but Christmas dinners are full of anecdotes."
"And what of your second brother José? I heard he is a bullfighter," asked Sylvia, with wide eyes.
Alejandro templeֹ's vein began to throb, but he tried to remain calm, "why does every person think if you are from Spain you are or have a family member that is a bullfighter? Even in popular media, every Spaniard knows bullfighting. Sorry to disappoint you, but no, there are no bullfighters on my family and mi estúpido hermano José is studying to become an actor like my mother."
Chef was laughing at Alejandro's reaction while Sylvia seems mortified. The Spaniard took notice of this.
"Sorry about that señorita, I am a little touchy when I talk about my brother, but that reaction was uncalled for. I hope you can forgive me about it," then Alejandro kiss Sylvia's hand.
"Don't worry, Alejandro, I didn't know. Let's forget about it," Sylvia said smiling, then she looks at the clock, "campers, there are only 10 minutes left, so start finishing your Chris cakes."
Lindsay Table – 10 minutes
"Ten minutes is like not enough time. At least I finish the shirt, but now I have to finish Kyle's head, and without makeup, I don't know how to fix it," said Lindsay looking at her half complete Chris.
"I also need to do something about Kyle's hair, it could be his only good feature, so I need to make it right, but food doesn't grow hair, not to mention carefully groomed hair, so I will need to look for something in the storage room," said Lyndsay as she goes to the storage room.
"Look at this," Lindsay takes from the shelves colored cocoa butter, "this could work as makeup, but for the hair, there are few things I can work with," she then looks at a bag of pasta and has an idea.
Leonard Table – 10 minutes
"Just in time, my homunculus is almost over, taming that violent slime took some effort, but now the ritual is almost over, I only need to work in his face, careful enough to not infusing it with life accidentally," said Leonard studying the head of his cake.
Leonard then took a paintbrush and began to work in the partially covered foam head, he sticks out his tongue over his upper lip as he makes the strokes of paint over it.
"Maybe I should use a little more red, and I need more black for the hair, but its resemblance with the original is amazing if I say so myself, maybe after this adventure I should quest for some of Nolzur's Marvelous Pigment to use in the future," said Leonard while painting the head.
Sky Table – 10 minutes
The athlete was cutting a big piece of black fondant in the head of his foam head.
"Well It looks more or less like that jerk hair, now the final touch," Sky put something in the fondant and apply it with her hand over it, "It's looking good, now I have to end his face details, more I see the original, and I see mine, there is something off."
Sky eyes went wide after she notices what is off with her Chris, "the teeth, I forget to put the teeth on his mouth. And there is not enough time, maybe I could found something to improvise in the storage room," Sky run as quickly as she can, as she said, the time was almost over.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1. You're done." Sylvia said in a loud voice, Alejandro, and Chef at her sides. All three campers put on their screens. After this Lindsay put her hands on her chest and smile, satisfied. Leonard throws a pinch of powder on the floor creating a small smokescreen and Sky bites a chocolate tablet before raising her hands, smiling triumphantly.
Delightness or Disgustness first camper: Sky's Chris McLean cake.
Sylvia, Alejandro, and Chef stand at the front of Sky's screen. The athlete was still chewing her chocolate, smiling.
"Sky, you had to make this awesome Chris McLean cake, let's see what you got," said Sylvia in her melodic voice.
"Delight your eyes on this," said Sky in an enthusiastic voice pressing the button to put down her screen.
The screen goes down and reveals the cake, the three judges laugh at the result.
Sky's Chris has the shirt well done, even the collar, the color was a little bluer than the original, but it was ok. The face was different, it has a broader nose, his dotted eyes looked creepy as if angry, and his teeth were big and square. The hair looked like a playdough wig but had the brightness of the original Chris gel.
"Oh my gosh, Sky your Chris is so wild, hehe, he looks pretty angry, and I love his smile, what do you use to make his teeth?" asked Sylvia, laughing.
"I use chewing gum pieces to make the teeth," said Sky smiling.
"That's a great idea señorita, I love the bright on his hair, it looks like him, the hair could use a little more of work but is close enough," said Alejandro trying to not laugh.
"I put some cooking oil to make it like it was gelled. And I am very proud of the result," said Sky blushing.
"It doesn't look like him, but I think it is close, the damn shirt, on the other hand, looks good, but you don't carve the shoulder, so it looks like a box more than shoulders. Even then, it is a good job, you are not as muscle head as you looked," said Chef smiling.
"There is no need to be rude," reply Sky, angry.
"He is joking, don't mind him, Sky, it was pretty interesting, but now we have another 2 Chris McLeans to meet, see ya," said Sylvia waving at the athlete.
Sylvia began to dance with tropical rhythm while walking to the next kitchen, Alejandro behind her dancing with a hand on his belly and the other at the side of his head. Behind them, Chef was walking slowly.
Delightness or Disgustness second camper: Lindsay's Chris McLean cake.
Sylvia stops dancing in front of the second screen, Alejandro and Chef, at her sides. Next to it was Lindsay trying to adjust her hat to look less ugly, but to no avail.
"Lindsay, you had to reproduce this Chris McLean cake, show us what you made," said Sylvia in her trademark voice.
"Delight your eyes on this," said Lindsay in a joyful voice, pressing the button of her screen
As the screen goes down, showing her cake, the three judges began to laugh loudly.
The cake had a white-blue shirt, with no visible buttons, but it had the collar, it was pretty well done and looked almost like a real shirt. The head was also well done, maybe too much well done. Instead of dotted eyes had big expressive black eyes, it had pinkish lips, and his cleft chin was there but was almost invisible.
But the more prominent part of the cake was the hair, it looked like real hair, real blond hair, so Lindsay also painted his eyebrows blond to match.
"Hahaha, I can't breathe," said Sylvia laughing loudly, "This looks better than the original, I love it," Sylvia want to say something more, but couldn't stop laughing.
"You airhead, I must say that the shirt is pretty well done, but this is not the damn Chris McLean, this is another person. It even seems nicer than the original product," said Chef trying to not laugh, but smiling.
"Oh, right, the problem is that Kyle looked, like, so old fashioned, so I try to improve it a little. I could do a better job, but this food makeup is not very good," said Lindsay looking a bit disappointed.
"I want to ask you about the hair, is that pasta?" asked Alejandro looking at the blonde hair of the cake.
"Wow, yes, is pasta, you had a good eye, Jalapeño, I was looking for something to use as hair, and then look at the pasta and think, this is perfect. But Chris was not blonde, but then again, he will look better blonde, so I use it anyway," said Lindsay showing a sheepishly smile.
"It's Alejandro and I must admire these girls resourcefulness, Sky's oil trick, and now Lindsay's pasta, this is an ingenuity battle," said Alejandro with a flirtatious smile.
"Thanks, my boyfriend always said that I'm more intelligent than people realize," reply Lindsay with a big smile.
Sylvia takes a deep breath and stops laughing, "That was wild Lindsay, but now we have one last Chris to see."
Alejandro takes Sylvia by the hand and takes her dancing salsa to the next kitchen, Sylvia looks surprised but get the rhythm and keep the pace with the Arch-villain. Chef seems surprised, and then walk behind them.
Delightness or Disgustness third camper: Leonard's Chris McLean cake
"Wow, Sylvia, you really can dance," said Alejandro with a flirty smile.
"Thanks, Alejandro, you too," replies Sylvia smiling. She, Alejandro, and Chef stand in front of the last Kitchen.
"Leonard, what are you doing?" asked Sylvia, the larper was making a magic circle on the floor with flour.
"I'm creating a powerful ward, to contain the homunculus in case it goes out of control," replies Leonard in a solemn voice.
"Ok, only be careful because flour can make the floor slippery," Sylvia then began to speak in her melodic voice "Leonard, you had to make this Chris McLean cake, show us what you got."
"Deliiight youuur eyes upon this," shout Leonard in a loud and paused voice, pressing the button after ending his line.
The screen goes down and shows the last cake, Sylvia and Alejandro laugh, as Chef keep looking with his signature frown.
"You crazy kid, what the heck is this damn thing?" asked Chef, trying to be mad and not laugh.
The cake was covered on blue fondant, with runes drawn over it, the shoulders were shorter, so its neck looked unnatural long, instead of white Chris face was red, his dotted eyes had big black circles under them, the mouth and the smile was done in fondant and looked almost like the one on the model cake, but it had fangs. Lastly, it didn't have hair, the head was painted in black color, so it looked like having a shaved head.
"I recreated not the physical form, but the astral form of the man named Chris McLean," said Leonard.
"This is too much, what's with today's cakes, every new one is wilder than the last," said Sylvia laughing, "So you are telling us that Chris is red?" asked the host.
"Yes, it's a reflection of his evil ways and his sadistic nature," said Leonard.
"I don't know if it's a great work or not, I am astonished," said Alejandro, still laughing.
"And the damn shirt, if it can be called shirt, what is with the doodles you draw over it?" asked Chef frowning.
"These are glyphs of protection, in case an evil spirit from the outer planes tries to posses this homunculus, it will be returned to his main dimension upon touching these," said Leonard, nodding.
"Every time I speak with you, you seem crazier and crazier," said Chef frowning.
"Stop, your doubts weaken my magic," said Leonard putting his hand to protect himself from Chef.
"Ok, let's leave it at that," said Sylvia ending the discussion, "we have already seen three out of the world Chris cakes, now each of you will cut the perfect slice of your Chris cake and take it to our table. While I go to take a seat, my feet are killing me," saying that, Sylvia went to her chair in the judge's table.
Sky, Lindsay, and Leonard cut a slice of their cakes, and carry it to the table, the last part of the round had started.
Delightness or Disgustness first tasting: Sky's Chris McLean Cake.
"The first cake is Sky's Chris. It looks pretty good, so let take a taste," said Sylvia smiling.
Sylvia, Chef, and Alejandro take a taste of the cake. Sylvia and Alejandro smile while Chef raises an eyebrow.
"I like it, the cake is moist, it had a lot of buttercream, and there is some other flavor that mixes pretty well with the chocolate, but I'm not sure what it is," said Sylvia with a quizzical smile.
"It's apricot jam, Sylvia. Meathead, why the hell did you put apricot jam in the damn cake?" asked Chef in a loud voice.
"My mother usually put it as filling in chocolate cake, and it goes pretty well, so I thought-" said Sky flustered by the sudden question.
"Well, you can be proud of your mama because she knows what she is doing. The apricot help to make a more bitter cake, well done," said Chef smirking.
"I don't like sweet food very much, but I like this cake, the apricot really reduce the sweetness, bien hecho," said Alejandro with a big smile.
"Do you have to always mix Spanish words when you talk?" snarl Chef.
"I love my native language, but if it annoys you puedo hacerlo más," said Alejandro, with a fake smile that hides the real meaning of his sentence.
"Do whatever you want, I don't care," said Chef glaring at the Spaniard.
Delightness or Disgustness second tasting: Lindsay's Chris McLean Cake.
"Now let's try Lindsay cake, it also looks good, but the color is a bit different," Sylvia said while looking at the cake.
The three judges taste the cake, Sylvia moves her head, Alejandro raises an eyebrow, and Chef frowns.
"The cake texture is good, is moist, but it doesn't taste as strong as the other," said Sylvia tasting another bit of the cake.
"Airhead, did you use less chocolate powder?" ask Chef while tasting.
"Yes, my personal trainer said that too much chocolate is not healthy, so I put a little less chocolate than was writing in the recipe," explained Lindsay, "was that a bad idea?"
"Well, your damn chocolate cake doesn't have too much chocolate flavor, so WHAT DO YOU THINK?" shouts Chef, "Don't answer the damn question, it was a bad idea."
"It is indeed a little insípido, but I don't hate it, is not the worst chocolate cake I ever taste," said Alejandro with a smile.
"Well, I am with them, the cake is good, but I usually prefer more chocolate in my chocolate cakes, but it is well baked, so good job," said Sylvia.
Delightness or Disgustness third tasting: Leonard's Chris McLean Cake.
"Now let's try Leonard cake," Sylvia examine for a moment the cake, "but Leonard, you didn't put buttercream on this cake," said Sylvia surprised.
"Buttercream?" Leonard began to stroke his fake beard, then look at Sylvia, shocked, "Was there an ingredient with that name?"
"Leonard it was on the recipe, it was a whole step on it Leonard, I love my buttercream, now it would not be the same Leonard," said Sylvia jokingly, then she winks at the mage.
The three judges taste the cake, soon after Sylvia began to laugh, Alejandro put a hand on his mouth and Chef rolls his eyes.
"Leonard, what did you put in the cake," said Sylvia laughing, "it's short but too dense, and it's dry and moist in my mouth. I don't know how did you do it."
"Wacko, You overmix the batter, so the cake collapse and it form gluten streaks, also one of your cakes overcook, so it's dry, if you put the damn buttercream it will give it some moisture, but no, you had to forget it," said Chef pointing at Leonard with de fork.
"Sorry, I really would like to taste this, but-" he put his hand in the mouth "it too bitter and the texture, ugh" said Alejandro, with teary eyes.
"Hehe, it seems someone found a burnt piece," said Chef laughing.
"Well, it was a wild ride, Leonard, but look what you did, it an awesome cake like you never did before, and you should be proud," said Sylvia with a smile.
Delightness or Disgustness : Winner award.
"Campers, all of you did a great job, well some of you could make it a little better," said Sylvia looking at Leonard, "but only one of you can win the prize money and the soon to be collectible Delightness Trophy which is not on the table."
"Blaineley, please bring us the Trophy?" Sylvia asks in a loud and melodic voice.
Form door number 2 Blaineley enters the room, still in her red bikini with the blue long skirt cover-up. She put it in the table with a strong hit, glaring at Sylvia.
"Here it is," she then walks away with her nose in the air.
"Thanks, Blaineley," said Sylvia, but as soon as the host end her sentence, she heard a yell from Blaineley, she slipped on Leonard's flour circle and flew against the staff, crashing hard against some camera crew. Lindsay and Sky run toward the crashing point as the judges stand up their seats.
(An image of the Total Drama Logo appears in the middle of the screen, with a message "We interrupt the show for a brief moment.")
"Don't worry, Blaineley is ok, but I never thought that director assistant was such a dangerous job," said Sylvia worried as soon as the scene comes back to the screen.
"I think it usually is not, but we are talking about Blaineley," said Alejandro, shrugging.
"Well, returning to the show, Al, do you have the money bazooka ready?" said Sylvia smiling.
"Here it is, and please never call me Al," said Alejandro forcing a smile on his face.
"Oh, sorry about that, Chef, can you announce the winner?" asked Sylvia.
"Of course, this round was a pretty close one, the damn cakes looked good and were edible, except the one from the wacko, so we needed to discuss a lot before selecting the winner, but you don't want to hear about that, you want to know who won, so without more preamble, the winner of this summer episode is…

"Sky."
"Me?" said Sky in a loud voice "I can't believe I won, I really won the brunch of delightness," said the athlete with wide eyes, Lindsay walk and hug her, as Leonard nodded.
"Just as I foresaw, now that my vision is realized, the world is secure once more, and I can go on my next quest," said Leonard before throwing some powder on the floor that makes a smokescreen, but after it dissipates he is was still here.
"Well, with this I can help my parents pay for this year's training for the Olympics, I am so happy," Sky made a cartwheel and a round off only from the excitement of winning. She then stops and continues talking, "Truth to be told, there is something that has been in my mind since ending the 6th season, so now I want-" Sky began to blush, and just at that moment, a big pile of money hit her, dragging her across the room, but not knocking her.
"Alejandro, Why did you shoot her, you cannot shoot people with that Alejandro, why no one hears me?" Said Sylvia shaking her head.
"Sorry señorita, but nobody told me this cannot be shot at the winner. In fact, is not the obvious thing to shoot at the winner?" asked Alejandro with a smirk on his face.
Sylvia kept silent for a moment thinking about that, "Anyway, no more shoots at people. Sky, are you ok?" asked the host, worried.
"No problem, it was nothing," said Sky, her hair a little disheveled
"Well then, let's remember this summer with the episode commemorative selfie," said Sylvia, as campers and judges come together to take the photo.
In the selfie appear Chef on the right side, again covering part of the lens with his finger, on the left side is Leonard making a strange hand gesture. In the back is Alejandro putting her arms across Lindsay and Sky's shoulders while Sylvia hugs him from behind, the four of them smiling.
"Well, this was the last episode of the season, so thanks again for watching Brunch of Delightness, the rest of the episodes are out there so go and rewatch them, thanks for staying with us, and please stay tuned for the next show of Total Drama Network. Bye"
Congratulations to Sky for winning the last episode. I really doubt between her and Lindsay, maybe someday I should do an alternate ending.
With the 6th episode, we end the season of the show, it was a blast writing this story, even if it didn't have too many reviews or followers, maybe it was not an attractive format, anyway for those who like it I have a surprise, but you will have to wait for the next week.
As a fun fact, The luna theatre company that I mention in the story is based in Aluna Teather company in Toronto.
As always, thanks for reading and I hope you like it.
