"Last time on the Ridonculous Race, some teams had a lot more fun than utters did as we hit Brazil. Okay someone is definitely getting fired for that one. The ants came marching one by one, an alliance between the Sisters and the Adversity Twins ended before it started, the Ultimate Duo became not so ultimate when Cameron finally stood up against Lightning and told him that he wasn't as Sha-bam as he wanted everybody to believe. The Fashion Bloggers strutted their way into first place and we said soy long to the Vegans when a penalty pushed them into last place and they got cut from the competition. What's even more sad is that their flight home crash landed on an island populated by cannibals, it's so weird that I can't even think about it without laughing. Now get ready for more delicious chaos because the time has come for more of… the Ridonculous Race!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Now healed of his black eye, Don stood at the Chill Zone on Copacabana Beach from the day before "The Chill Zone for last week was here on Copacabana Beach which makes it the starting point for today's leg of the race. Leaving first will be the Fashion Bloggers." he gestured to where Tom and Jen were posing, but he noticed something off "Okay what the heck?"
"What you mean this?" Tom pointed to the fez he was wearing "See I bought it from a local here who as it turns out is a distributor so I 4,000 of them and had them shipped home. I am going to make fezes happen."
"...Huh. Can I get one?" he received one "Cool."
"Alright enough wasting time." Jen picked up a tip from the Don Box "Make your way to the castle of Dracula in Transylvania?!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Yeah that's right, Transylvania. The home of majestic mountains, old Saxon architecture and the birthplace of the heebie jeebies. Teams must travel to Dracula's castle and find the Don Box with their next tip, but before that they will be taken to the airport by shuttle bus."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sure enough, all of the 14 remaining teams had wound up on the same shuttle bus headed for the airport, much to the dismay of the Ice Dancers. Well more Josee than Jacques but then again that's the norm for them.
Crimson, however, felt something very very off "What is this strange feeling?"
"I fear it may be… happiness." Ennui sounded very dramatic but still emotionless "I mean we're going to Transylvania. I can't believe it."
"Awesome."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jacques let out a sigh "Well this could've gone better, I mean we came in-"
"Don't. Say. It." Josee's voice was laced with venom.
"...An unacceptable placement?" he received no reply "And we're-"
"Stuck on the same bus as everyone else!"
"I don't think it's that bad."
"WELL I DO! And if the other teams steal the gold from us one more time, gold that we rightfully deserve, I WILL DESTROY EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM AND GRIND THEM INTO DUST!" and she stormed off to throw a temper tantrum in the back.
"...Oh boy."
Devin leaned over across the aisle "Is she gonna be okay?"
"Oh she'll be fine, I just have to wait until she rages herself to sleep."
"Just checking."
Carrie on the other hand was talking to Tom and Jen "So you guys do a fashion blog? No way that is so cool, so which one of you guys started it?"
"I did." they both answered simultaneously, but ended up sharing a look "No I did. I did. I did. I did!"
"...Oh boy."
Devin gently slid her back down into her seat "Probably best if we just let them sort it out."
"But I didn't mean to make them fight like that."
"I know you didn't but I'm gonna use this as a test. You know how I've been saying that we'd wait until after the 5th team got eliminated before we try to form an alliance right?"
"Yeah?"
"Well I weighed over the results from the end of each race and I decided that they're probably the best team for us to work with."
"But if they're arguing then-"
"I know I know, that's why we're gonna wait for it to play out and ask them during tomorrow's leg of the race. As for today…" he looked back towards the Rockers.
"Really? No offense homie but they've kind of…"
"Been in the bottom 4 almost every time? Relax homie they've got moxie, they just need to go faster and we can help them do it."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It wasn't long before the shuttle brought all of the 14 teams to the airport where they rushed to book flight for Transylvania.
Rock let out a groan "Man we're starting in last place, this really bites."
"Hey guys." Devin made his way over to them, with Carrie right behind him "You guys got a second?"
"Sure I guess, what's up?"
"Carrie and I were wondering if you wanted to work together today, I mean other teams are doing it so we were wondering. You wanna try doing the challenge together? Just for today I mean that way we could at least get into the top 5 or so."
Rock looked over at Spud listening to music "I guess it would be nice not to be in the bottom 4 for a change. Sure why not, it's only for like a day right?" they shook on it.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"The first 7 teams to get their tickets, mainly the Best Friends, Rockers, Fashion Bloggers, Goths, Bromigos and Ultimate Duo, are on the first flight to Transylvania."
Cameron let out a sigh as he glanced over at Lightning and turned to the camera "Ever since I lashed out at him during the challenge yesterday Lightning hasn't said a word to me or to anyone. I really hope he doesn't crush me like a grape."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"The first flight carrying the first 7 teams has already taken off, but the last 7 teams booked for the second flight leave 45 minutes later which may prove to be quite a difficult hurdle to overcome."
Kevin noticed Gwen seeming somewhat down while sketching in her book "Are you really gonna keep griping on me about my little sanity draining stunt yesterday? Come on, I said I was sorry. Let it go already."
"It's not that you idiot." Gwen looked up from her sketchbook and let out a sigh "It's about what I said to get you to shut up. About Cody I mean."
"What about it?"
"To be honest I only thought I was saying it to shut you up but I realized it was true, I really do love Cody with all of my heart."
"...Oh. Well it took you long enough."
"Yeah yeah I know, laugh it up."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jen and Tom were still having their own problems "Okay yeah you typed it up but it was my idea so I was the creator and you were more like the secretary."
"I'm sorry, what now?" Tom shot her a look.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"The second flight is at last in the air after departing from Brazil as the first plane finally touches down in Romania."
"Come on, move it!" all 7 of the teams on the first flight rushed out of the airport, only to stop when they noticed Dracula's castle in the distance, freaking out 6 out of the 7 teams.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Wow." Crimson muttered "Okay, so Dracula was the first goth in history which means he was our king. To be here in his domain is… I just… I can't… I'm so…"
"Hey stop it." Ennui quickly called it off "That was close, you almost got some color in your face." this was followed by a wolf howling in the distance."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jen looked away from Tom as she read the tip "Okay let's just go ahead and get to the castle already."
"Yeah I know, that's what the tip said." Tom pointed out, his tone somewhat bitter "Or did you want to take credit for that idea too?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Geoff shuddered "So there's no taxis around but we look up the road and there's the castle plain as day, even though it's night. It was so creepy, I got so many goose bumps that they nearly made me take a goose dump."
"Dude." DJ shot him a weirded out look "No, just… no."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
By this point, Josee and Jacques had reached Dracula's castle and found the Don Box waiting for them "Yes! First place at last!"
"Wait a second, that shouldn't be possible." Jacques pointed out "The Goths were far ahead of us and the rest of the teams."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
As it turns out, Ennui and Crimson were inside the castle already, admiring a painting of none other than Dracula himself "Doesn't Vlad look striking?"
"I can see the similarities." Crimson pointed out "You look so much like him, you might even take his place as ruler of all things dark one day."
"Stop it, you're going to make me blush."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Who cares where they are?" Josee picked up a tip "It's an All In."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"For this all in challenge each team has to enter Dracula's castle and locate an empty coffin and whoever took the tip from the Don Box outside of the castle and to the graveyard with their teammate inside of it and tip it into one of the open graves. Creepy I know, but anyway once you complete the task see the local grave digger to collect your next tip. Oh, and the teammate inside the coffin may not get out or help at all or it will result in a penalty."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"As the first group of teams prepare to start on the coffin challenge, the second flight arrives carrying the last 7 teams has at last arrived in Romania. The races for first place and last place are really about to begin now."
"Come on!" the Sisters, Artists, Reality TV Pros, Adversity Twins, Sisters, Mother & Daughter and Stepbrothers all rushed out of the airport, only to be terrified at the sight of Dracula's castle in the distance.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Oh man." Jay muttered "Look we know that vampires aren't real, we're not a couple of scared little kids okay? But that being said, werewolves are a different story."
Mickey nodded "Yeah and if they can smell fear then I am in so much trouble because I am doused in pure unyielding terror."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
By this point Rock was telling Carrie and Devin an old story of his "Then he's screaming about how the moose doesn't need mouth to mouth since it's just one of those things that you mount on a wall!" they laughed until they met a fork in the road "Oh boy. So what do we do now, go our separate ways?"
"Actually I think I've got a better idea." Devin told him "Me and Spud can go one way while you and Carrie go the other way, that way we'll be sure to regroup once we find the coffins."
"...Works for me."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Junior gestured for Dwayne to get into the coffin "Now remember, don't get out of there or do anything that will end up getting us a penalty." he started struggling to push the coffin.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Will any of these teams even make it out of Dracula's castle alive to make it to the graveyard? I would say probably not, but the only way to know for sure is to stay tuned when we come back right here on… the Ridonculous Race!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"The race continues through Dracula's castle in Transylvania as most of the teams struggle to complete the first challenge."
Cameron cringed from within the coffin "Lightning still hasn't said a word to anyone since we arrived, and for a guy that likes to brag about himself that's really unnerving."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jacques let out a sigh as he rubbed his face "I know it's a race and all but with the way Josee was moving that coffin and all I was sure I was going to end up covered in bruises."
"Oh is that right?" Josee shot him a dirty look "You mean like if someone were to hold you over their head and drop you on the ice face first in a stadium filled with thousands of people on the single most important day of your life? Is that the kind of covered in bruises you were talking about?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
By this point, Tom and Jen were still arguing as they found the coffins "I really do hope there's enough room for your ridiculously giant head and all of your great ideas in there."
"You know it's going to be nice to have you carry me for a change." Jen stepped into the coffin and slammed the door shut.
"The way I see it, the only change is that this time you're in a coffin." he pushed it over.
"You did that on purpose!"
"Your point being?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ennui examined the interior of the coffin "Vintage hexagon oakwood with corinthian leather interior. Very nice."
Crimson stepped inside "Take me to the grave digger." the door to the coffin slammed shut.
"Coffins can be so flimsy."
"When I die I want to be buried in one that was made during the plague, they really knew how to make a coffin last."
"That is so true."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
By this point Rock was walking with Carrie and making small talk "So be real with me, you've got it bad for Devin right?"
Carrie stopped and blushed "What gave it away?"
"Your confession in Morocco, I was standing like 3 feet away."
"...Oh. Fine, yes I do love him. But the problem is that we've been friends for so long and he already has a girlfriend so can you please not say anything?"
"Don't worry, I promise I won't but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't." he ended up crashing into a coffin "Oh hey cool we found them, now we've just gotta wait for Devin and Spud to show up and we're on our way."
"LOOK OUT BELOW!" Devin and Spud suddenly fell through a hole in the ceiling and into one of the coffins.
"Oh hey way to make time guys, found the coffins so let's get moving."
"...Okay." it turns out Devin had been left highly disoriented from the landing, but Spud was no worse off than usual.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
By this point, Ennui was still dragging Crimson towards the graveyard in her coffin "We're almost there."
"Stop." Crimson suddenly rose up from the coffin like an actual vampire "I know it's against the rules but this might be your only chance, well the only one you'll actually remember that is. Get in the coffin."
"...Okay." so he hopped in the coffin as the door slammed shut.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Josee was still flipping Jacques forward on hey way to the graveyard and passed Father & Son on the way, only to find the Stepbrothers already there "What the- Weren't you two on the second flight? How did you get here so fast?"
"Who are you talking to?" asked Jacques from inside of the coffin, only to be pushed into the hole rather forcefully "Oh come on, it was just a question!" he climbed out and noticed the Best Friends and Rockers arrive "Huh, good for them. Hey Josee, is that the gravedigger?" he pointed to the grave digger.
Lorenzo shuddered from within the open grave "Well I think it's safe to say he isn't the ice cream man."
"There's ice cream?! Where?!" Owen started struggling from within the coffin "Come on, let me out!"
"Okay that's enough of that." Noah forcefully showed Owen into the grave with a smile on his face "That was way more satisfying than it should've been."
"Come on already nerd!" Lorenzo climbed his way out of the open grave, only to be startled by the grave digger which caused him and Chet to fall back into the grave, and yet regardless of this he still received the tip "Oh. Thanks." he read the tip out loud "Ride on horseback to the Romanian Gymnastics Training Center and find the Don Box with your next tip." he shared a look with Chet "Horseback?" he could hear a neighing and looked over to see a large number of angry horses in the distance.
"...Well that's kind of scary." Chet commented "But what's sweet is that we're in first place!"
"Oh yeah I know, the last time I won anything was that medal for being awesome!"
"Hey you stole that medal from my cereal box!"
"Will you stop ruining my moment but spray!" they started beating the crap out of each other just as the Fashion Bloggers and Bromigos arrived and the Best Friends and Rockers received their tips.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Cameron held up the tip "It took us a little bit longer than we had anticipated to find the graveyard."
"Just say it!" Lightning suddenly exploded out of nowhere "It took me awhile to find the damn graveyard alright?!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Yes!" Jay held up a tip in triumph as he helped Mickey out of the grave "So it looks like there's no werewolf or anything."
Mickey nodded "Yeah but believing there was pushed us further than we thought we would be able to go."
"Yeah, and because of that we're still in the race." and they went on their way, not noticing a sinister shadowy figure watching them in the distance.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Devin and Carrie helped Rock and Spud out of the graves just as Kevin arrived at the graveyard, carrying Gwen in their coffin "The Ice Dancers and the Stepbrothers have a pretty solid lead but if we hurry we can catch up, either of you guys know anything about riding on horseback?"
"Oh I've got this one." Rock quickly collected two horses, one for each team "My mom is a zoologist so I know a lot about animals, now come on! First place here we come!" and they all took off.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The Stepbrothers were closing in on the training center "There's the training center!" that is before they were suddenly overtaken by the Ice Dancers, with even the horse smiling for the camera "Oh you've gotta be kidding me!"
"Coming through!" the Best Friends and the Rockers bypassed them and reached the Don Box just as the Ice Dancers rushed inside "It's a botch or watch, looks like two of us are gonna be doing gymnastics."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Gymnastics, nastics that take place in a gym. Seriously who writes my script? I've fired three guys already as it is! Whoever didn't face the bullet ants in Brazil must perform twp gymnastic feats. First they have to walk a balance beam and land a split jump at the center, second they have to complete a flip over a vaulting horse. Once they do both of these well enough to get a thumbs up from a local judge who hates everything by the name of Bela Karaoke and it's a foot race down the road to the Chill Zone. Like always, the last team to arrived could be cut from the race."
Josee easily completed the challenge and received a thumbs up "Hello first place!" and so she and Jacques ran out the door.
Not long after Devin and Rock both completed the challenge and received two thumbs up of their own "Yeah!" they high fived and rushed off, with Carrie and Spud both following close behind.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Josee let out a scoff "Of course I'm good at gymnastics, it's actually not that different from ice dancing. The only difference is that in our sport you wear knives under your feet and there isn't any soft padding to land on if you fall, just a rock hard layer of solid ice."
"Oh for crying out loud!" Jacques let out a groan of frustration "I said I was sorry!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"The race for first place is about to come to an end but the race for not last place is about to begin."
Jen let out a groan of frustration "Tom was taking breaks like every 10 feet, he clearly needs to work out more."
Tom let out a scoff "Or maybe Jen could try a little something called laying off the bread a little bit." this was met with a gasp from Jen.
"Fez hats are ridiculous and you will never make them popular!" this was met with another gasp.
"Oh is that right, you mean like the time you tried to make plaid leg warmers happen?" this was met with yet another gasp.
"OMG… No, I can't even…" and she rushed off.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Don was somewhat surprised to see the Ice Dancers arrive so quickly "Ice Dancers congratulations, you guys are in-"
"First place!" Josee started posing with joy "Took it long enough too."
"...Yeah now get off the carpet." he pushed them off and addressed the next two teams that arrived "Best Friends you guys are in second place, Rockers you're in third." this was met with cheers from both sides.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"The race for first place is over, as is the race for the top three, but the race for not last has at last begun."
Owen was trying to do the second stunt, only for the springboard to fail him "What the heck?"
Noah however was more interested in something else "Well what do we have here?"
"Get out of the way!" as it turns out Emma had charged and leapt over Owen in place of the vaulting horse, flipping gracefully through the air and landing on the matt, receiving a thumbs up from the judge.
'Well now… I think I just got my first boner.' Noah was then crushed by Owen and dragged off towards the Chill Zone, with the Sisters right behind them just as Chet finished the challenge and received the thumbs up.
"Man he's got some serious skills." DJ commented.
Lorenzo let out a scoff "Yeah but that's only because he takes rhythmic gymnastics, but I say that if he had any guts then he'd drop that crap and sign up for my class where I learn about the ancient art of karate."
"You know that's actually pretty cool. You guys bring different skills to the table, it makes you guys that much stronger of a team."
"A good team? As if! Yeah, hell no to the hell no!"
"Hey loser I'm done!" Chet barked "Are you coming or what?!"
"Yes!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Don was quick to count off the next two teams "Reality TV Pros are in 4th place. Sisters are in 5th place."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"The race for not last is beginning to heat up as three teams in particular, mainly the Ultimate Duo, Fashion Bloggers and Adversity Twins, are struggling that much more than the other teams."
Sure enough, Lightning tried to do the split jump only to end up hurting his crotch with a very painful squirting noise "Ow…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
One by one teams arrived at the Chill Zone and Don counted then off, starting with the Stepbrothers "6th place!"
Mother & Daughter.
"7th place!"
Then the Goths, but there was a problem.
"You guys are in 8th place, or would be in 8th place if you haven't broken the rules with the coffin so I'm afraid I'll have to give you a 10 minute penalty."
"Totally worth it." was all Crimson said.
"...Uh huh." he pushed them to the side as more teams arrived, starting with the Artists.
"8th place!"
Father & Son.
"9th place!"
The Bromigos.
"10th place, and with only three more teams out there the Goths look nervous." they didn't.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jay finally completed the vaulting horse challenge and received a thumbs up "Alright this is awesome!" and he and Mickey rushed off.
Lightning hurt his crotch on the vaulting horse yet again "Ow…"
"Lightning!" Cameron frantically rushed over to help him "Are you okay?" he received a dry look "Listen, about what I said yesterday-"
"Look it's not like the Lightning likes being a jerk to people all the time, it's kind of become this habit of mine. You think it's fun being the one that everyone hates?"
"Maybe the problem is that you're so afraid that everyone is going to reject you that you try to push them away first, I'm guessing that either you have problems at home or you were picked on a lot."
"My mom left a few years ago because of my pops being so arrogant so he tried to make me into a mini clone of him and it kind of stuck."
"Well he's not here now so just do your best and let's finish this."
"Yeah, yeah I think I gotcha. Tell me little dude, you think we're gonna be friends after this is over?"
"Sure why not?" he heard a zapping noise and they both looked over and cringed "Ouch."
As it turns out, Tom had crashed into the lamp above while trying to do the horse vault challenge and got electrocuted "Ow…"
"Oh my god!" a horrified Jen flipped her way over to him over the vaulting horse "Tom are you okay?"
"I'm sorry Jen, I'm so bad at gymnastics. You know my strengths are with coordinating clothing, if you were doing this then we'd already be done. You're so good at these things."
"Oh come on Tom, you're great at everything you put your mind to. I mean it's so great it's annoying but it's still great."
"Oh thank you you perfect sweet girl." he pulled himself back to his feet "I promise I won't let you down, I can do this."
"I know you can, I believe in you." she put on her fez hat to show her support.
"The blog was your idea by the way, it's yours all the way."
"No you made so many great changes to the blog, if anything it's way more your blog than it is mine."
"How about this instead, we say it's ours."
"I like that, I really do."
"I always want to work with you Jen."
"I feel the same way Tom."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Don counted off the Adversity Twins once they reached the Chill Zone "11th place, you guys live to see another day." he looked over at the Goths "You guys have about a minute and a half left on your penalty by the way.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jen and Cameron were both cheering on Tom and Lightning respectively "Come on you can do it, you rule Tom/ Lightning!"
"Alright, here goes!" Tom quickly did the flip over the vaulting horse and received a thumbs up from the judge "Yes!"
"Great job Tom now come on, let's go!" Jen grabbed him by the hand and they took off for the Chill Zone just as Lightning finished the challenge.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Don turned his attention to the Goths once a loud buzzer sounded "Goths your penalty has expired, you're in 12th place."
"Woohoo." they just walked off without showing any emotion, which is normal for them.
"...Oh joy, they're still in the race."
"Please tell us we are too!" the Fashion Bloggers ground to a halt on the Carpet of Completion.
"Yes you are. 13th place, you're still in and so are your fezes."
"Yes!" they rushed off just as Cameron and Lightning arrived, Lightning carrying Cameron on his shoulders.
"I'm sorry, you guys are out." this was met with groans.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Cameron let out a sigh "Well that could've been a lot worse, I mean we played clean and fair and we learned a lot."
Lightning nodded "Yeah, and now the Lightning is gonna learn how to kick it with his little buddy by his side. Ultimate Duo for the win! Well not this time at least but next time for sure!"
"Yeah we totally will." they were walking away from Dracula's castle only to notice a large swarm of bats following behind them "Okay is it just me or are there far too many bats around for it to be normal?"
"...RUN!" and they both ran away screaming as the bats swarmed in.
A/N:
Sorry this took so long, I was having a hard time finding the motivation to write this chapter. But on the bright side, this is where shit gets good. The birth of Nemma (Noah x Emma)!
So yes, the Fashion Bloggers staying is one of the four big changes from the canon elimination order. This is for two main reasons. First, I like them and thought they deserved to make it farther. Second, I pretty much put Cameron and Lightning in the race as fodder so that I wouldn't have to write out the Daters because let's face it, they suck. Also, I kind of had the idea of pairing up Jen with Geoff but I'm not sure how to go about it. If you guys could give me some suggestions then I would really appreciate that.
I figured pair up the Best Friends and the Rockers in this chapter because I thought the Rockers deserved to place in the top 3 at least once before their comeback begins in Finland.
Now then, onto a serious problem I have. I'm trying to write the character roster for my Total Drama All Stars fic, but I'm having a hard time deciding who to put in as the 7th original cast member. So far I have Adam, Cody, Bridgette, Duncan, Heather and Alejandro. I need a 7th. I was thinking on doing Courtney but I hit a roadblock that many people despise: Sundae Muddy Sundae. I was going to eliminate her before then but I can't think of any good place to do so, so I decided to cut her out of the season altogether. But that leads to another problem, that being that I need to think of someone to replace her. It can't be Gwen, DJ, Noah or Owen because they're competing in the Ridonculous Race. I can't do Leshawna because I plan to have her do a cameo later in the season. I was also going to do Lindsay but that would leave the heroes and villains team unbalanced. I need someone that I can put on the villains team, so if anyone could give me some suggestions then that would be great. Oh, and just so you know, since Lightning and Cameron are, or were in the Ridonculous Race, the Revenge of the Island roster for the All Stars fic will be Mike, Zoey, Jo, Scott, Brick, Dawn and Anne Maria (to my VERY GREAT reluctance, I'm only putting her in to balance out the generation count). Please review and let me know what you think.
