"And that monster is…!" Chris announced with his hands showing the contestants the crate. The crate was lifted by an intern, who struggled. The crate came crashing down on him, leaving him unconscious.

"Aw jeez, medics!" Chris called out, and two other interns rushed out looking like nurses, and rushed the other one out.

"Everyone look at the crate again, please." Chris said enthusiastically.

Once again everyone, bar Cody who was still loopy, turned their attention to the cage which had dust surrounding it. As the dust cleared, the contestants could make out what it was. Inside of the cage, was a tiger.

"Wow, that's anticlimactic." Gwen pointed out.

"What do you mean? That's a tiger!?" Chris yelled, overhyping it.

"I know, but what if it was like, Ezekiel?" Sierra proposed.

"Naw, that wouldn't work. We sent him to a facility to help him with whatever happened to him. That was weird." Chris said, shaking his head in disapproval.

"Yeah, that was cweepy." Cody mumbled, but no one paid him any attention.

"So, what do we have to do with the tiger?" Sierra asked, showing genuine interest, unlike the rest of the teens.

"You all, will have to chase and track down this tiger!" Chris announced, way overhyping it.

"Alright, just let it loose." Gwen ordered, obviously tired of being around everyone who annoys her. Which was everyone there.

"What, don't you like my presentation?" Chris asked.

"No."

"But I took a commercial break for suspense!" Chris whined.

"No you didn't."

"Well the ads don't appear in real life, DO THEY?" Chris asked, clearly upset that Gwen wasn't impressed.

Gwen scoffed, trying to end their argument.

"But, we are not doing that yet. Each of you will have to hit your fruits with the bats, trying to break your gourd."

"Why do we do that?" Duncan asked.

"All will be explained. Go!" Chris said abruptly.

Alejandro missed his first few shots, hitting Chef, who was walking by.

-Confessional-

"If I come off too strong now, I will paint a target on my back. Luckily, there is a lot of drama right now, so I should be safe. But better safe than sorry." Alejandro explained.

-Confessional End-

After a few seconds, Alejandro cracked his gourd.

"Yes!" Alejandro cheered.

"And Alejandro cracks his gourd! The rest of you have 10 seconds to crack your gourds, starting now!"

Gwen, after a little bit of struggling, cracked her gourd. She didn't look happy at all though. She just wanted everyone to hurry up.

"3...2…"

Duncan immediately threw his bat to hit the gourd successfully.

"Hey, I'm not used to the middle man." Duncan joked. He walked over and picked up his bat that he threw. He successfully spun it on his finger, trying to impress the goth. When Gwen looked over, she scoffed at the punk. Because of this, Duncan lost his focus and dropped the bat. He shot a glare back at Gwen for making him look dumb.

"And that's time!" Chris announced, after smirking at Duncan, who growled back at the host.

"Aw man!" Sierra complained. She threw her bat down in frustration. It bounced back up and hit Cody square in the face due to Sierra turning around.

"Ahem, anyways," Chris said, straightening his clothes. "Alejandro, since you broke yours first, you get 10 tranquilizer balls, and this slingshot!"

"Um, tranq balls?"

Ignoring Alejandro's question, Chris said, "Gwen, you get 7 for breaking yours second." he tossed 7 tranq balls to Gwen.

"Duncan, three. And Sierra/Cody, because you didn't break yours, you get one and you don't get a slingshot."

"What? How are we supposed to knock out the tiger?" Sierra asked.

"I dunno. Your problem." Chris disregarded.

"Can we get on with the challenge?" Gwen asked, impatiently tapping her foot.

"Why're you so moody today?" Chris asked.

"Just hurry up."

"Jeez. Anyways, you gotta knock out the tiger, and then bring him back to the plane." Chris explained.

"Wait, where's the plane?" Sierra asked. Both Chef and the plane were now missing, and when they all turned around, Chris was gone, and so was the tiger they were supposed to be hunting.

"Wait, what? How is that even possible?" Duncan asked.

"I guess we go?" Sierra suggested. After she said that, all the contestants went in opposite directions, besides Cody who was still attached to Sierra.

With Sierra and Cody, they were having a conversation, but it was mostly one-sided. Cody was still a little woozy, but he was recovering.

"So, when we get out of the conversation what are we gonna name our children? Haha, JK! I've already named them! Dillon, Ashley, Cody Jr., and Zelda!"

Cody, somewhat remembering himself, says, "Legend of Zelda cool!"

"Hehehe. I know honey." Sierra agreed. Suddenly, a pack of baboons jumped the two, trying to take Cody with them. By this point Cody was wide awake from his trance, and started freaking out. Not at the monkeys, at the fact that he was attached to Sierra.

"AAAAHHH!" he screamed, squirming trying to get away from her. Sierra, thinking that his scream was from the monkeys, attacked even more ferociously, Eventually, Cody was able to get off of Sierra and he ran away. When he ran though, the backpack was still connected to him, so when Sierra noticed that her backpack was gone, she assumed the baboons got Cody. They ran off because they were scared of the stalker, but she thought they were retreated with her love. She chased in pursuit, trying to get her Cody back.

With Gwen, she was trudging along, not even caring. She honestly didn't care. She wanted to go home. This stupid competition was useless. All it ever caused her was pain. She lost the million in the original season. When she broke up with Trent, everyone was against her, bar Cody. When she hooked up with Duncan, everyone was against her, except Duncan. And even he ignored her and paid more attention to his ex. And now she had a fight with the only person left who liked her? Great. She felt just peachy. Sierra still hated her. And Duncan.

Jesus Christ, Duncan. What the hell was wrong with him? He paid attention to Courtney and not her. And now, he was trying to get back with her as soon as Courtney got kicked off. What a scumbag. How could I have ever loved him?, Gwen thought. She kicked a stone in frustration, when she heard rustling in the bushes next to her. She fumbled for her slingshot, and put a tranq ball in it. She pulled it back, ready to knock out whatever animal was about to attack her. When the rustling stopped, a hand popped out.

"Senorita, please don't shoot!" Alejandro said, holding his hands out in submission.

"Oh, it's you. Yay." Gwen said, sarcastically twirling her finger.

"What's wrong? You seem gloomy." Alejandro asked, trying to get on her good side.

"How have you gotten this far?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your act is so fake, yet you've made it to the final 5. How is that even possible?" Gwen asked.

"Well, Heather made it to the final three, didn't she?" Alejandro reminded.

"Yeah, that's true. But that doesn't mean anything. You should've gotten eliminated!"

"I was on a team with Owen, Tyler, Izzy, and Noah. Noah was the only one who was smart enough to find out my act and he's gone now, isn't he?" Alejandro said.

"You disgust me." Gwen glared.

"Oh yeah? What about… this?" Alejandro asked.

"What do you mea-" Gwen asked, before turning around to the sight of Alejandro who had pulled his shirt off.

"Uhhhhh." Gwen tried to talk, but she couldn't.

"Like what you see?"

"N-no! Stop it!" Gwen resisted, shielding her eyes from the latino.

"W-what? How?" Alejandro asked, baffled at her resistance.

"Are you gonna turn into another Justin?" Gwen asked.

"What do you mean?"

"In Action, he went crazy over how no one found him attractive anymore. "

"Oh what? That's won't be me!" Alejandro assured, hugging Gwen much to her confusion.

"Back off!" Gwen said, pushing him away.

"Fine then." Alejandro said with a smirk.

"What's with the smile?"

"Oh, nothing." Alejandro tried to convince, but as he walked away, Gwen realized.

"Hey! Where's my balls!" Gwen cried out, before taking chase after the deceiver.

Duncan was having rotten luck. As soon as they all split up, Duncan ran into a lion pride. The leader immediately tackled Duncan and started clawing at him. When Duncan escaped, a bird got stuck in his hair, so his hair felt as if it was being pulled out.

Why am I having such bad luck? Duncan thought, before walking into something else.

"Whatever that is, I'll beat snot out of you!" the punk threatened, holding his fist in anger. When they turned around, Duncan grinned.

"Huh? Oh, it's you." Cody said, turning around. Cody grew a scowl, but grew fearful when he noticed the punks fist. "Hey, buddy. Why the fist, hehe?"

"Remember Greece? Remember the lucky punch you got on me?"

"Um, what are you talking about?" Cody asked, shrinking back. He backed up, putting his hand up in defense. After a second, Cody went into a full sprint, with Duncan following him moments later. Cody lost the punk after weaving through a couple trees, (which he miraculously found). He hid in a bush as Duncan ran past. Cody stuck out his arm, and Duncan ran right into it. It knocked him out, and Cody ran away hoping to get away from him when he would wake up. "He's really weak." Cody commented while running.

"Cody! Cody!" Sierra called out, looking for her love. She was looking around frantically, hoping that her precious Codykins was safe. She was about three miles from where Cody actually was, but Sierra could have sworn that she had a feeling telling her that she was close. "What if Duncan got to him? What if… no! What if GWEN, the homewrecker, got to him!? CODY! I'M COMING FOR YOU SWEETIE!" Sierra took off into a full sprint, bounding over animals just to find her future husband.

After a few minutes, Sierra heard a noise similar to the baboon she brawled with earlier. She peeked behind the bush and saw some of it's minions giving the king a foot massage. The king moaned in pleasure, before noticing that Sierra was watching them, growling.

"YOU! WHERE'S MY CODYKINS!?" Sierra shrieked, startling the minions. While the king ran away, it's followers stood their ground, trying to give their king a head start. The monkeys attacked first, using their feet to try to kick the stalker down. All failed, as Sierra punched them all down. As soon as all the baboons were down, Sierra trailed the king, knowing that he had hidden her precious cargo somewhere. The monkey king had disappeared into a bush, so Sierra followed.

Duncan had gotten up, and raced in a blind rage, trying to find the techno geek. "Stupid jerk. Keeps getting lucky punches." Duncan grumbled, who had stopped running and was now stomping along.

"I'm gonna make sure he gets his due. Soon, Cody. Soon." Duncan threatened, before hearing a rustling in the bushes.

Gwen had been chasing Alejandro for quite some time now. Gwen was starting to get tired, but she didn't want to give up.

"Come back here you scumbag!" Gwen insulted. Alejandro just ignored the goth, as she had been insulting for almost the entire time they were running. After a while, they heard screaming, and someone talking. They assumed it was Chris and the plane, so they went to check it out. When they got there though, they heard growling that sounded suspiciously like a tiger, so Alejandro pulled back his tranq ball in his slingshot. (Gwen would have, but Alejandro stole hers.) When something leapt out of the bush, Al shot the ball, but not before noticing that two balls were shot at him and Gwen.

Lights out for Gwen, Alejandro, Duncan, and Sierra. They were all passed out, leaving only the tiger, who was actually there, to dance around on their sleepy bodies. He pranced around them, wagging his tail as if to 'strut his stuff'.

"Hey, get out of here, tiger!" Chris shooed, trying to get footage of the teens. "Hello? Hello? Why aren't you guys responding? Are you giving me the silent treatment? C'mon!"

Chef, who was watching from a distance, facepalmed at the stupidity of his boss. "Chris, you do realize that they're knocked out, right?"

"Oh. Whoops. All right guys, time to SING!" Chris announced. Once again, Chef facepalmed.

Cody wasn't really trying. He was more thinking back on the season as a whole, since he was likely getting eliminated soon. Also because he was half asleep when the challenge was announced, so he really didn't know what to do.

This season was great! All my friends were on the other team, besides Gwen! And Gwen hates me right now! Plus most of the friends who were on the other team was eliminated early on! Not to even mention Duncan and Sierra. Cody thought back to how Gwen was in season 1, when she talked about all the sane people on the island. Cody thought of Harold, Bridgette, Lindsay, Leshawna, and DJ. He also thought of Noah, Owen, and Tyler. He thought of all the evil people like Heather, Alejandro, Sierra, Duncan, Gwen to some extent, Blaineley, and Chris. Cody really didn't have any beef with Chef.

Cody then thought of the two people he didn't mention. Poor Zeke. Cody felt nothing but pity for the feral kid. He really did hope that he would turn out okay. Then the other person came into mind. Courtney. Cody sighed, reminding him that Courtney was kicked out. He frowned, wishing the CIT was back in the game.

I mean, she's so smart, helpful, kind on good days, pretty, fierce, competitive, wonderfu- Cody's thoughts were interrupted when he realized something.

"D-do I- naw, there's no way, right?

-Confessional-

Cody opens his mouth to comment, before quickly shutting it. He wanted it to be special. Then, going back to his thoughts, sighed lovesick.

"Wish you were back, Courtney."

-Confessional End-

As Cody was thinking, he heard growling behind him.

Duncan? SIERRA? Were Cody's first thoughts before turning around, and seeing a tiger.

"A TIGER!? CHRIS!" Cody complained, completely unaware that this was part of the challenge. The tiger charged him, with Cody only barely jumping out of the way. The tiger crashed into a rock, knocking itself unconscious. Cody, fed up with Chris, dragged the tiger all the way back to the plane, (which he had gotten a glimpse of while he was on Sierra's back. While it was difficult, the plane wasn't that far away from where he already was.

"CHRIS! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?" Cody demanded. Chris looked shocked, before realizing what had happened.

"Oh yeah, your contest was to bring a tiger back to the plane, so I guess you win!" Chris announced, as he called all the other contestants back.

"Wait, I won?"

"Yeah dude." Cody cheered once Chris old him this. All the others looked mad at him, except Sierra, who was giggling because Cody won.

"All right everyone, Cody won, so head inside and cast your votes."

Once everyone had finished voting, Chris tallied up the votes.

"It's a 3-2 vote!" Chris announced.

"Cool, now can you get on with it!" Duncan complained.

"One vote for Alejandro!" Alejandro didn't look shocked, though he did seem somewhat nervous.

"One vote for Gwen!" This time it was Gwen's turn to look nervous.

"Another one for Gwen!" Now, Gwen was biting her fingernails.

"Another one for Al!" After a quick cringe, Alejandro returned the nervousness as did his competitor.

"And the last vote goes to!" Chris started.

"...Gwen. You're out, gothie!" Chris said, overly cheery.

"Wait, it was a 3-2 vote? Who voted with me? Duncan?"

"Nah, you suck." Duncan returned.

"It was me, Gwen." Cody revealed.

"Why? You obviously hate me!"

"No, that was what Courtney wanted! I didn't want to mess with you!" Cody said.

"Oh, sorry Cody." Gwen apologized, looking down in shame.

"It's fine Gwen. Bye. Say hi to Trent, Harold, and the others for me!"

"Sure." Gwen smirked, before jumping out of the plane.

"So, Codester, who ya taking to first class?" Chris asked, with a grin on his face. When Cody turned around, he felt small. It was if there were three gods, staring down at him, each with different expressions. Duncan punched his palm, with a deadly grin. Alejandro also had a grin, but his was more of a devious one. And Sierra had a grin on her face as well, but hers was completely different. Hers was one of excitement, yet she knew that he would pick her.

"Do I have to pick one of them?" Cody asked, hoping for a loop hole.

"I don't care."

"Then I choose myself!" Cody answered proudly.

"Alright, suit yourself." Chris said.

Alejandro looked very disappointed, as he couldn't make a new ally. Duncan looked extremely disappointed, as he wished to beat Cody to a gooey pulp. Sierra… well Sierra let out a bloodcurdling scream, more than shocked that he didn't like her. But Sierra knew, in her heart, that if she kept trying, she would win his heart.

Cody was escorted to first class by two interns, with another two behind them making sure that Sierra wouldn't follow. It was worth it, as Sierra tried to crawl towards him, but was restrained. In his mind, Cody was arguing with himself, as he knew that he was screwed competition. But on the outside, Cody had the goofiest grin on his face, knowing that he loved Courtney.

Author's Note: Wow, been a while, huh? Well, I really don't have an excuse this time. I just didn't know what I wanted to do with this chapter. All I knew is that I wanted Cody to realize he loved Courtney, Cody and Gwen to make up, and Duncan try to beat up Cody. Otherwise, I really didn't have a direction I wanted to go in. This now gives Duncan a new role as an antagonist. Up to this point, he's just been annoyed that Courtney and Cody 'like' each other, and that he tried to get Gwen back.

By the way, the reason I did a tiger and not Ezekiel, was because I hated the feral Ezekiel plotline. While I didn't like Sierra that much, feral Zeke was definitely the worst part of the season for me, (besides maybe Gwen x Duncan. Sorry, I hate that couple). So yeah, Zeke will be the same guy from season 1, besides maybe being sexist.

I really didn't understand the canon episode. I mean, Cody got to be by himself almost the entire episode, (without Sierra!) and they literally just had him sit somewhere until Sierra got there. I mean, are you kidding me!? Let Cody do something! That's why I had Cody go off on his own for a while. And if you're wondering why there wasn't a song this chapter, it happened when Cody realized that he like Courtney. The others were waking up, so they sang while it was focused on Cody. I didn't want to write it, and Cody deserves his own screen time.

About when the next chapter will be released, you guys might not like the answer. I'm not sure when actually. Next episode is Easter Island, which is one of my favorite episodes this season. But, the next chapter I'm working on is for my other story, so here's the thing. The week after next, I'm going on a week long vacation, so I won't be able to update then. It's possible that I'll be able make a new chapter by then, but it's not likely. Anyways, see you guys in possibly a couple of weeks! Bye!
