~A/N~ Now that we've hit the merge, it's time for something a bit special. Enjoy and review if possible! :D
"Last time on Total Drama: Return of the Underdogs..."
"Our top ten competed in a sporty triathlon of boxing, dodgeball, and a watery twist of the basketball formula. In the end, Tyler, the non-athletic athlete, won it for his team and Ethan became our second newcomer to be sent home. But just when the campers thought it was over, I revealed that they had all made it to the merge and that today would be a relaxing day off with Chef Hatchet while I was away. But what surprise do I have in store for you now? Stay tuned to find out, here, on Total... Drama... Return of the Underdogs!"
(The theme song plays)
Chris McLean stepped out on the dimly lit stage as a single spotlight focused it's bright beam on the host with the most. Suddenly, the lights flashed on to reveal a stage filled with a sofa, a small set of bleachers, and a large, glowing screen that read 'TDRU.'
"Greetings, Total Drama fans! I'm Chris McLean, your host of the first ever Total Drama: Return of the Underdogs Aftermath Special!" The crowd roared with fans cheering for names of their favorite contenders and their favorite host of course. "For the past few days, you've watched Dakota, Dawn, Brick, Tyler, Samantha, Jordan, Noah, Eva, and Staci battle it out for our grand prize: one hundred thousand dollars! But what happened to those who were... relieved of duty on our show? What happened after they were booted, literally? Where are they now? How do they feel about the season so far? And who do they want to see take home the money? All these questions and more will be answered, but before then I must answer one question that's obviously on your minds: where are Geoff and Bridgette?! Well, I regret to inform you that they have relinquished their duties to me as Aftermath host. Trust me, they really needed the break and they've been spending it together in more ways than one, wink wink!"
Inside the supply closet, Geoff and Bridgette were tied together with rope and gagged with socks. Under her gag, Bridgette was cursing Chris while Geoff was trying to scream for help, but to no avail.
Chris took a seat on the large, poofy couch in the center of the stage and relaxed his arms on the top edge of the sofa. "In this special episode of TDRU, I'll be interviewing each of the seven losers that fell victim to their fellow campers and finding out what's happened since they were voted off as well as sharing some classified behind-the-scenes clips from the first half of the season. Sound fun?" The crowd erupted in screaming. "Great! So, May I introduce our first loser, literally! She was our most social newbie, but this was ultimately her downfall when she focused more on Noah than the challenge. It's Debbie, everybody!"
Debbie emerged nervously from the curtains as the crowd produced a slow, dull clap that showed that they didn't care about the early boot. She was still wearing her cat ears and fox tail, but was now wearing a black, leather jacket, a red skirt, and a red top. Debbie took a seat on the couch and shook Chris' hand.
"So, Debbie, how you doin' now?" Chris asked winking at the teen.
"Good, I guess," the fan girl replied, unsure of her answer.
"You guess? Interesting, but let's talk the game."
"I really don't want to," Debbie blushed. "Can we talk about, uh, your sexy cheek bones?"
"Nice try, Debbie, but flattery goes nowhere with me. So, how about we start by showing your audition tape, huh? Sounds cool, right?"
"Uh, ok," Debbie said.
"Roll the clip!" Chris screamed. A video popped up on the screen behind them and everyone's eyes shot up to the stage.
Audition: Debbie
Debbie: "Hey, Debbie here! I'm a huge fan of the show and even drew some of my favorite campers!" *She holds up a picture of Heather's head sticking out of a toilet* "And this one too!" *She holds up a picture of Noah with huge muscles* "Yeah, I'm a huge fan and really want to be on your fourth season! I know that if you let me on, I'll bring joy and happiness to the show with my furry ears and tail! *She pulls out her furry accessories* "So, uh, pick me!"
End Audition: Debbie
Chris clapped as Debbie smiled faintly. "Nice job, girl. That wasn't bad. Too bad you couldn't be on Revenge of the Island, huh?"
"Actually, I'm glad I had to drop out. Those new contestants were boring. I didn't even draw anything about them."
"I see," Chris narrowed his eyes. "So, how did you drop out. I don't think you ever told us."
"It's personal stuff," Debbie said, a glint of sorrow in her eyes.
"Oh, like someone died?" Chris asked.
Debbie sniffled and looked at Chris angrily.
"Ok, too far, but let's move on. So, how did you enjoy your incredibly short time on your favorite show?"
"It was ok, I guess."
Chris sighed in frustration. "What's with you and guessing, Debbie?"
"I don't know, I was voted off first, so I only went in ankle deep. Stop asking so many questions!" Debbie buried her face in her hands and screamed.
Chris pouted. "Wanna watch what happened after your kick of shame?"
"If you stop asking these questions, yes, anything!" Debbie grabbed Chris by the neck and looked into his eyes with a stressed glare.
"Yeah, you're not stable," he cringed before turning to the camera. "Just roll the clip!"
Kick of Shame: Debbie
Debbie crashed into the water, screaming at the top of her lungs. When she surfaced, her mascara was runny and dripping from both the water and the tears.
"I-I'm okay," she sighed while panicking. "But where..." She quickly looked around. "Oh, Noah, why must you play hard to get. All I wanted was a friend on this show. Was that too much too ask?!"
Debbie felt something brush by her leg and screamed before she was pulled under, only to resurface again and cling to a large buoy.
"Why did I never think this was a bad idea!?"
End Kick of Shame: Debbie
Debbie groaned and slapped her forehead. "Please tell me that's the last one!"
"For you, yes."
"Thank God. Can I go now?"
"Not until you answer one more question?"
"I want Noah to win. There, I'm done!"
Chris snapped his fingers in frustration. "You are like a wizard or something. Go ahead and take a seat in the peanut gallery of losers." He pointed at the set of bleachers to his left and Debbie hurried to take her seat.
Chris turned to the camera and flashed a signature McLean smile. "That's one down and six to go, so please give a warm welcome to the guy with all the looks and our second loser: Justin!"
Justin walked on stage and flashed his smile, revealing his bright white teeth and causing a woman in the crowd to scream that she was blind before fainting.
The male model, now without two black eyes, Sat beside Chris and waved to the camera.
Chris extended his hand. "Justin, my main man, how y'been?!"
"Great, Chris. In fact I've signed on to seven new modeling jobs since I was voted off, and not one of them hasn't made me rich. And what's even better, I never had to leave the Playa to shoot. It's a win-win for everyone!"
"So, you're not mad about losing the cash?" Chris narrowed his eyes and looked at him suspiciously. "Not even a little?"
"Overall, no. To that eggheaded smartass: of course! He was nothing but annoying."
"I see," Chris said with a smile. "But how did you feel about losing to Dawn, a little pacifist without a mean bone in her body?"
"I don't care about her," Justin replied. "She just did what her gut told her to do. But Noah, on the other hand, is much higher up on my enemy list."
"Cool story, but I have something else I'd like to bring up."
Justin gulped. "Please, don't!"
"Your pseudo-relationship with Anne Maria? Yeah, we're talkin' about it."
"Fine," Justin groaned. "The thing is, she was a great girl with great looks but let's be real here, I don't have time for real love with a body like this." Justin flexed his muscles and winked at the camera. "Sure, I only 'loved' her to get ahead, but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't date her if I had the time."
"That's almost sweet enough to make me gag," Chris deadpanned. "From what I saw in the show, you hated her outside of the game, but back at the playa, you two were actually talking like civilized people, even though she was begging you to date her. Thoughts?"
"Yeah, she annoyed me, but who wouldn't love to have hotties fawning over you 24/7? Am I right?" Justin smiled and the crowd screamed with cheers.
"True, very true," Chris said. "So, uh, how about we show the fans here a few clips from the past few days. You cool?"
"Sure, just keep it positive," Justin said.
"Great, now let's check it out!"
The Playa: Love or not love?
Justin was sitting in the pool when Anne Maria inched her way towards him, refusing to make any eye contact until she was right beside him.
"What now?" Justin asked with frustration in his voice. "Here to beg for another make out session?"
"Nah," the Jersey chick said. "I'm here to ask ya' somethin' important."
"So?"
"Did you mean that stuff you said back on da' island? Ya' know, about usin' me to get ahead in da' game?"
"Sure," Justin said as he leaned back. "Don't get me wrong, you're smoking hot with great personality, but I didn't need a girl and I still don't."
Anne Maria sneered and grabbed his cheeks, kissing him and falling into the pool with Justin in her arms.
End Clip
"Yeah, that happened," Justin cringed. "She was really clingy at first, but she's not too bad now. She's still randomly lip-humping me, but I've learned to tolerate it."
"Really?" Chris asked slyly. "Why don't we see her side of the story, huh?"
"Wait, you don't mean-"
"That's right, buddy! Everyone welcome Anne Maria, our third loser and sassiest competitor of the season!"
Anne Maria stormed the stage and grabbed Justin by the head, kissing him again. Justin pushed himself away and panicked.
"Don't run from ya' little Annie, baby! Ya' know ya' need these lips!" Anne Maria tackled Justin and they both fell to the floor as the crowd erupted in laughter at the acts occurring in front of them.
Justin pushed Anne Maria of him and crawled away, but his lover was persistent. She jumped on his back and pinned his to the ground. "Admit it, bae, you need me!"
Justin sighed. "Fine, I need you. You're my dream girl. Now get off before I issue a restraining order. My back is worth thousands!"
Anne Maria smirked and stood up. "Looks like ya' finally came to ya' senses, huh?"
Justin stood up and brushed himself off. "Yeah, whatever." He turned to Chris. "Can I sit down yet?"
"On the couch, bro. You have a few more minutes with your girl over on the hotseat." Chris pointed to the seat next to him and winked. Justin sighed and sat down with Anne Maria clinging to him like a suction cup. "So, Anne Maria, how did you enjoy your time on the show?"
"Oh, the show sucked, but the resort was amazin' doll. The food was fabulous and so was someone very special to me." She looked at Justin, who cringed as she purred like a cat.
"Next question!" Justin squealed. "Please!"
"Fine by me," Chris said. "But instead of a question, let's play a game. What do ya' think, guys?"
"Is it a matchmaker game?" Anne Maria cooed seductively.
"Any more clips?" Justin begged. "Please! I'm desperate!"
"Not until you play a nice round of Truth or Shark Attack!" Chris clapped and a shark tank rose out of the floor. The crowd gasped.
"Bring it in, buddy boy!" Anne Maria shouted, puffing her chest.
"I'm dead," Justin sobbed. "My body is going to waste away!"
Justin and Anne Maria took their seats in the chairs hanging above the tank as a pair of large sharks swam in the water below.
"Alright, guys," Chris explained. "I'll ask you three questions each. Answer one wrong and you'll take a dive right into a shark's gut."
"Just do it!" Justin sobbed. "Get it over with so I can sob in the bleachers!"
"I'm loving your spirit, so you'll go first," Chris smiled. "You're first question is: Do you love Anne Maria with all your heart?"
"Not all my heart," he sighed, gripping to the edges of his chair. "Seventy percent of it is for my modeling career, but the rest... sure, whatever."
A 'ding' echoed through the stage and Chris clapped. "That's a truth!"
Justin grabbed his chest in relief.
"Alright, Annie, now it's your turn," Chris said, pulling a card out of his pocket. "If you could take one thing back this season, what would it be?"
"Easy peasy!" Anne Maria scoffed. "Lettin' my baby get voted off in the second show!"
Another ding rang and Chris confirmed it to be a truth before asking Justin his second question. "Which part of Anne Maria's body is the best looking? And, Please try to keep this family-appropriate."
"What?!" Justin gasped, blushing a little. "Just one? No, I mean why pick, she's perfect!" He screamed, expecting to drop, but a ding confirmed his statement as true.
"Nice save," Chris said. "Anne Maria, who would you rather date? Justin or Vito/Mike?"
"Vito?" she gasped. "He's still alive?"
"What?!" Justin gasped in return. "Who's this Vito guy?!"
"My old bae," she scoffed. "He and I were like two pups in a poppa' back in season four! Not that you'd know!"
Chris smirked. "Justin, you sure seemed to care quite a bit. Looks like you're a little jealous, huh?"
"No!" Justin shouted, causing a buzz to echo through the studio and the chair to fall, dropping Justin into the tank below where he was swallowed whole by a shark.
"Baby?!" Anne Maria gasped. "I'm comin' for ya," she said, diving in and punching the oversized fish in the gut. The shark spat out the male model and retreated with it's fellow shark as Anne Maria flipped them off. She grabbed Justin and pulled him out of the tank behind her.
Justin sat up and coughed before Anne Maria kissed him again. The kiss broke and Justin gasped. "You saved me?! You actually saved my life!"
"No prob, hot stuff," Anne Maria purred before kissing again. "Anything for my boy."
Justin sighed. "Maybe I've been too harsh after all. It's not very day a chick punches a shark to save my cheeks."
"Does that mean you'll go out wit' me for reals?!" Anne Maria squealed with excitement.
"Okay, but just one date, alright?"
"Sure thing!" She kissed Justin and embraced him in a mutual hug.
Chris turned to the camera. "Young love is hot stuff, huh?! No, wait not that kind of love! Get your mind out of the gutter, you punks! We'll be right back after the break," he said, slapping his head. "But not before a couple bonus clips. Roll 'em!"
Kick of Shame: Justin
Justin flew through the air until he hit something soft that definitely wasn't water. He surfaced and screamed. "What's that smell?!" He rubbed his black eyes and blocked nose from the odors around him. He felt the substance around him. It was soft and squishy.
A horn sounded, letting the male model know he was on a ship of some sort. Then it hit him. The smell. The boat. The squish.
"Compost!?" he shrieked as his voice became drowned out by the horn. "Ahhhhhhh!"
End Kick of Shame: Justin
Kick of Shame: Anne Maria
Anne Maria surfaced and took deep breaths, gasping for air. She looked around and struggled with her ropes until she finally broke free.
"Dat Eva is a pig headin' to slaughta' when I see her again. Traitor!" She looked around again and sighed. "Stupid team, gettin' rid a' the looks foist is gonna kill 'em by the end. Just ya' wait!"
Anne Maria touched her loose hair and cried. "My poof! My poor poof!"
End Kick of Shame: Anne Maria.
Geoff managed to cough out his gag and gasped for air. He turned to his girlfriend. "Bridge, hang on I'll get help!"
Bridgette mumbled something that was barely understandable due to the sock in her mouth.
"How?" Geoff replied. "Don't worry, babe, I have a plan... Hellllllllllp!"
Chris stood with Justin and Anne Maria as they hugged. "So, guys, who'd you like to see take home the money?"
"Dakota," Justin stated immediately. "Anyone with that much strife over their appearance is an A in my book.
"Dakota? That freak wit' a tail?" Anne Maria scoffed. "Yeah, I'm choosin' Tyler!"
"Uh, any reason why?" Chris asked, confused.
"He's the only one who hasn't irked me yet," she said before kissing a reluctant Justin again.
As Chris shooed them to the peanut gallery, Justin sighed. "Do you have to do that every second or what?"
Chris sat down on the couch again and sighed. "That was a long segment, but we have more guests to interview, starting with Silent Beverly!"
B walked on stage and waved to his loyal fans. However as soon as he took his seat and 'tried' to 'speak,' Chris shushed him. "And that's Beverly everyone. Next!"
B narrowed his eyes and flipped Chris the bird before walking to the bleachers and taking his seat, frowning. Debbie gave him a friendly pat on the back.
"Next up is a pair of friends who captured our hearts one day and ached them the next. It's Sadie and Katie everybody!" Chris clapped as the crowd cheered. Both girls walked on stage smiling and holding hands.
"Oh my God, were in an aftermath!" Sadie squealed to her friend. "I've always wanted to be a guest."
"Me too!" Katie squealed, hugging her friend and sitting down on the couch together.
"Hey, girls, how goes it?" Chris asked. "You, uh, settled your differences yet?"
"Totally," Sadie said. "When I left, the first thing I did was cry over Katie for, like, two hours. Then the boat found me and I cried for another two hours. Then I arrived at the playa and-"
"Sadie, you don't have to dwell on it," Katie rolled her eyes. "Can't we just put that stuff behind us for a few days until this show is over?"
You're totally right," Sadie gasped. "Like, totally totally!"
Chris groaned. "Care for a question, or are you two just gonna blabber during your time limit?"
"Yeah," they both said together.
"Alright, Sadie, Katie, what would you say separates you from each other?"
Sadie thought for a minute. "Definitely our attitudes. I'm always more mellow than Katie and she's, like, mean every now and then."
Katie gasped. "I am not mean most of the time."
"What about when you broke down in those caves and quit the game? You were so mean in that episode!"
"No I wasn't!" Katie whined. "Jordan was being a butt!"
Chris turned to the camera and whispered. "These two pretty much write their own jokes, heh!" He turned to the pair. "Next question?"
"Sure," Sadie said. "Bring it, Chris!"
"Alright, how did it feel to be eliminated from the game so early? And for Katie, why did you just quit?"
"I didn't care anymore," Katie shrugged. "All I wanted to do was apologize to Sadie and I just needed closure more than money."
The crowd 'awww'd and Chris smirked. "Sounds like you made a bad choice. You two don't seem to be getting along right now."
Sadie rolled her eyes. "It's because Katie is-"
Suddenly, a buzz rang throughout the studio and the best friends cringed from shock.
"What great timing, huh?" Chris smiled. "That sound means it's game time. Wanna know what you're playing?"
Both Katie and Sadie nodded.
"Oh, just a little game I like to call Shock Your Bestie!" Chris handed the girls two collars and told them to put them on. They did so without any reluctance. "Alright, here's how this is gonna work: I'll ask you a series of questions. At any time, you can press these remotes to shock each other." Chris handed them two small buttons.
"But, I can't shock Sadie," Katie said.
"Me neither," Sadie whined.
Chris narrowed his eyes. "Either you play, or I throw you into the shark tank. Got it?" The girls nodded together. "Great! Now you're first question is this: Which one of you is smarter?"
"Me," Sadie said. "It's, like, my thing!"
Snickering could be heard in the audience as Katie gasped and pressed her button, shocking Sadie and causing the larger girl to jump.
"But I'm the smart one!" Katie said. "I totally outlasted you!"
Sadie shocked Katie and screamed. "By one episode!"
Katie shocked Sadie. "Yeah, but I still beat you!"
"This season! Remember season one!?"
Katie shocked her friend again. "I don't care!"
The girls shoved down on their buttons and the collars kept shocking until they short-circuited, leaving them both worn out and with their hair standing straight up.
"Well, that was short-lived," Chris sighed. "So much for that drama, I guess. It looks like you two aren't so friendly anymore, huh?"
Katie sighed and explained the situation to Chris. "We're just growing apart, I guess. Fighting showed us how, like, different we are, y'know."
"Yeah, I know too," Sadie hung her head in sadness. "We focused on how we liked, like, the same stuff for so long that we forget why we're different."
"I totally understand," Katie said, touching Sadie's shoulders. "We're a perfect match, but we have to live our own lives."
"Totes," Sadie said, hugging her friend as the crowd cheered.
Chris cringed. "Ugh, friendship. You gals sure made up fast, and I don't like it. Where was the drama; the pain?!"
"They get into fights even faster," Justin yawned from the bleachers.
Chris shrugged. "In that case, it's just a waiting game. I guess we'll see how you two turn out at the finale. You can take your seats." Chris pointed at the peanut gallery and the girls walked over and sat by Justin. Anne Maria growled and snarled as they tried to touch his chiseled neck, scaring them into shock.
Chris turned to them. "And one last thing. Who do you want to win?"
"Noah," Katie said.
"Yeah, totally Noah!" Sadie agreed.
B held up his blackboard. It had Dawn's name on it. Chris narrowed his eyes and glared at the silent giant.
The host turned back to the camera.
"Well, there's only one left," Chris smiled. "He's a somewhat popular video machine from the internet who got high on shrooms and crushed on a fellow newcomer. It's Ethan, everyone!"
Ethan emerged from the curtains to cheers from the audience. Apparently he was more popular than Debbie with the crowd of fans. The YouTuber took his seat and shook Chris' hand.
"So, Ethan, goes it?"
"Uh, great, I guess. The bathrooms at the playa are nice." Ethan blushed and sighed as the crowd laughed.
"The bathrooms?"
"Well, it's better than the woods or an outhouse, right?" Ethan smiled, trying to make a joke.
"Sounds good to me," Chris nodded. "But tell me, how did you feel to be cut right before the merge?"
Ethan closed his eyes and pouted. "It sucks. I thought I was going to the end with Samantha, but I guess that team switch screwed us over in the end, huh?"
"And I take full responsibility for it," Chris smirked. "Now, how about a rundown of your relationship with Samantha."
"Do I have to?" Ethan groaned.
"I have a shark tank," Chris narrowed his eyes, taunting the nerd. "I think you'd be better off answering up."
Ethan tapped his chin. "Well, it started out on the boat on the way there-"
"Actually, we have that clip!" Chris exclaimed. "Roll it!"
Ethan tried to stop him, but it was too late.
The Yacht: Love at first sight?
Ethan and Samantha were sitting in silence on the comfy couch as Jordan rapped quietly to himself and Debbie drew a picture of DJ.
"So, you excited?" Ethan asked her.
"Not really," she sighed. "It's gonna be a load of trouble on my part."
Ethan blushed upon hearing her talk and smiled. "We could be in, uh, a-"
"Alliance?"
Ethan sighed, lying to the other newcomer. "Yeah, that."
Samantha thought about it for a minute and smiled. "Sure, I guess. The more the merrier."
Jordan overheard the talk and smiled, leaning over and talking to her. "An alliance? You two are making one now?"
"Uh, yeah, why?" Ethan asked the young man.
"I could join, right? I'm really good at lots of stuff, like fishing, rock climbing, golfing, and rapping." Jordan winked.
"Really?" Samantha chuckled. "Rapping? How's that a good skill for a game show?"
"It's not, but I have other skills too. Wanna, uh, talk about it somewhere more private?"
Samantha sighed. "Well, it's better than what I'm doing now, so sure." Samantha got up and walked away, leaving Ethan to wallow in his sorrow.
End Clip
Ethan sighed. "Yeah, that's what happened. I tried asking her out using the game as a reason, but she just wasn't thinking that way."
"And what happened on the island?" Chris asked. "More despair?"
Ethan nodded.
"Cool," Chris said. "Do you think this 'Samanthan' ship could work out though?"
"No," the teen sobbed. "It's not. The most I can do is tell her how I feel and just let it go from there."
"Hmm, that's mature of you, dude," the host said. "Most guys would whine about shit like this. Anyways, before you take a seat, tell me who you want to win."
"Either Samantha or Noah," he said, smiling faintly.
"Sounds good, now get off my couch!"
Ethan rolled his eyes and took a seat next to B.
Well, that's all of 'em," Chris said to the camera. "But stick around, because we're about to take a trip down memory lane after this commercial break!"
Kick of Shame: B
B hit the water and looked around for a few seconds before shrugging. He felt the top of his head and remembered that his hat was safe in Dawn's hands.
End Kick of Shame: B
Kick of Shame: Sadie
Sadie opened her eyes to discover that she had washed up on a beach. She sat up and was greeted by a rock shaped like a skull that cast a massive shadow over the entire island.
"Boney Island?!" She stood up and squeaked in fear. "Why here?!"
Sadie shivered and looked around more. "I can't believe I lost to Eva in a tiebreaker. That's just stupid, but not as stupid as Katie right now... I miss her already!"
Suddenly, a roar erupted from the jungle and Sadie ran down the beach, screaming at th top of her lungs.
End Kick of Shame: Sadie
Kick of Shame: Katie
Katie was sitting on a floating log pouting. "I miss Sadie already. Why did we have to fight anyways?"
Out of nowhere, a group of sharks, visible only by their dorsal fins, began to circle the log, causing Katie to scream.
End Kick of Shame: Katie
Kick of Shame: Ethan
Ethan was floating on top of the water, belly up, waiting for his ride to show. "Yknow, maybe she and I just weren't meant for each other? I mean, she's not into me at all, right? Sometimes I just get carried away and think I deserve girls because I'm not a mean jock, but maybe I should really lower my standards. What do you think?"
The camera panned over to show an otter lying on it's back the same way. It squeaked and Ethan smiled. "Thanks, buddy."
End Kick of Shame: Ethan
Audition: Ethan
Ethan: *He straps on his headset and aligns the camera* "Hey, guys. It's The Commonerd here for a very special vid. I know I promised a play through of Rust but this is a huge announcement: I'm auditioning for Total Drama's next season! Now, why would you pick me, you may ask, host guy. Well, I'm a huge gamer and really never get out of the basement much. But, hey, that's fine according to 49,573 people, right? So, pick me if you want to bring in 49,573 people to your ratings. I know it's not much, but like you, ratings are everything to me. I guess that's it, so please choose me and I'll see you guys in the next video... Wait, should I do another take?" *The camera shuts off*
End Audition: Ethan
As Geoff sobbed for help in the supply closet, Bridgette managed to cough out her sock and gagged from the taste. "How long has it been since Chris washed these things?!"
"I don't know," Geoff whined. "But I'm worried about how long it'll be until someone finds us, man!"
"Geoff, calm down," the surfer chick said, smiling with her back to his. "I'm sure someone will notice that we're not there and come looking. It's not like they could start the show without us, right? We're the stars!"
Geoff sniffed and smiled. "Yeah, you're right, Bridge! All we have to do is keep screaming for help!"
"No!" Bridgette sighed. "My ears hurt enough. Try something new, maybe?"
"Don't worry, I'm on it!" Geoff tried shaking around to break free of the ropes but only fell over and, being tied to Bridgette, brought her with him. He cringed. "Sorry, dude..."
Bridgette growled. "If we get out, I'm totally having Chris arrested."
Suddenly, the doorknob began to rattle and both teens gasped.
Chris waved to the camera as he sat on the puffy sofa. "And we're back again with more of the TDRU Aftermath Special!"
The crowd cheered and the losers in the peanut gallery yawned, looking at the time. Anne Maria had nearly fallen asleep in Justin's arms and Debbie was drawing pictures of her fellow losers.
Chris chuckled. "This has been a season of pain, but let's not forget that which has gone unseen by the folks at home. That's right! It's time for... That's Gonna Leave A Mark: McLean Edition!"
The lights dimmed and the screen behind the stage lit up with the season's logo before cutting to black.
That's Gonna Leave A Mark
Noah crawled up onto the beach with the rest of the 11 campers and stood up, shivering. Eva walked by, pushing him down. He jumped up, a crab pinching his cheek and causing him to scream.
Brick climbed from branch to branch until he reached the top limb where the puzzle piece was hanging. He heard a noise to turned to see a small squirrel looking at him and cocking it's head. He gently reached out and the squirrel bit down on his index finger, causing him to fall off.
Jordan climbed into the tree by camp and yawned, laying down and closing his eyes. He opened them suddenly to see a bat crawling on his stomach. He shrieked and fell off, but caught the branch. He smiled, but gasped when the branch snapped.
Eva was walking alone in the woods and tripped on a gopher hole, face planting into a rock.
Tyler was running through the rain and slipped in the mud, falling and accidentally doing the splits, passing out soon after.
Dakota was walking through the cabin door and the door suddenly slammed on her tail. She screamed and tried yanking out of the hold.
Ethan was resting by a tree when am opossum dropped from the branches above. He leaped up screaming and bashed his head into the tree in an attempt to knock it off.
Dawn picked up a plank and carried it over to the pile, accidentally clotheslining Katie in the face.
Sadie was washing up in the river when she withdrew her arm, revealing it to be covered in leeches completely.
B was eating a piece of fish when a wildcat dropped onto his head, clawing it his eyes and cheeks.
Samantha was peeking inside a knothole in a tree and an owl flew out, hitting her in the face and knocking her out.
Justin stubbed his toe on a stump. He immediately fell over and began to cry for the medical team.
Anne Maria shook her can of spray around trying to get every last drop out and accidentally sprayed herself in the eye.
Debbie followed Noah through the woods as he pushed branches out of the way. She turned around and looked back, getting slammed in the face by a limb.
Dawn was holding a woodpecker on her arm like a falcon tamer. She was petting it's head when it pecked her directly in the forehead, causing her to cringe in pain.
Staci did a cannonball into the lake and smashed into a boulder instead.
End Clipshow
Chris and crowd clapped while the losers in the bleachers rolled their eyes.
"Well, that might have been fun, but we have something else left to finish off our special episode of Total Drama: Return of the Underdogs. I will be reading viewer questions and comments to our seven losers." He turned to the peanut gallery. "Everyone ready?" The former players shrugged. "Great!" Chris pulled out his phone. "Our first question is from Superdramer232... Justin, what is your best memory of this season so far?"
Justin tapped his upper lip. "I don't know. I hated being here! I guess my time at the playa."
"Good. Next question is from Mamallamafan777... Ethan, what's the scariest game you've ever played and is it on your channel?"
Ethan smiled. "Really? Someone asked me a question?!"
"Yeah," Chris sighed. "Can you just answer. We have like ten left."
"Oh, sure. The scariest game I've ever played is probably Dungeon Nightmares for PC. See, all you have to do is get an artifact from the maze and make it-"
"Next question!" Chris shouted, shutting Ethan up for good. " Hissbissmiss9876 wants to know what Katie and Sadie plan to do after the season ends. Ladies?"
Katie and her friend looked at each other nodded. "Meet a guy!" they both said at the same time.
"Like, one for the both of you?" Chris asked, drawing laughs from the audience.
"No, silly," Sadie giggled. "One hot stud for me and one for Katie. Of course, my guy will be, like, so much hotter than her guy, but we can switch." Sadie turned to Katie. "Right?"
"Uh, what?" Katie growled.
"No time," Chris said. "I'd love to milk this, but there's like two minutes left and we need to hurry! From some other chick no one cares about: Debbie, do you have rule 34 of the cast drawn?"
"Yep!" Debbie smirked before cringing. The other campers looked at her in disgusted shock.
"Okaaaaaaaay," Chris said. "I think we'll end this prematurely, just in case the questions get, ahem, worse beyond belief!"
Chris stood up and waved to the audience. "Well, that was weird, but we got through it unharmed and in one piece, so I'll see you next time. I'm Chris McLean, and this is Total-"
"Stop!" A voice boomed from behind the stage. Chris looked over to see Geoff and Bridgette scowling at him.
"What are you doing here!? I locked you... in on a hot vacay!"
"Yeah, the janitor closet!" Bridgette growled. "It's a good thing that old man managed to find us in time so we can take back our show, so hand it over before we call the cops!"
"What she said, man!" Geoff crossed his arms and glared at Chris.
The host nervously looked around and smirked. "Debbie drew you guys naked!" Chris whipped a small ball out of his pocket and smashed it on the ground. It erupted with smoke and clouded the stage, but Chris was gone when it cleared.
Geoff gasped. "Oh no! The show's almost over! We're too late!"
Bridgette gasped as well. "We can still sign off right?!"
Before anyone else could talk, the stage lights shut off and the lovers were left in the dark as the crowd and the losers left the building.
Geoff sobbed. "Well, at least it's dark enough where no one can see us makin' out right..." He was met with a kick to the shin. "Ow, that hurt!"
~A/N~ Hopefully you all enjoyed that blatant filler episode and won't mind reviewing. But hey, at least JustAnne and the wonder twins got closure on their plots like I promised. Next time will be the first merged challenge, but these challenges might play out differently from the normal "individual immunity" challenges from the show. You'll see what I mean.
zorbo678: Noah's one of my favs too, but even if he loses, at least be happy he made the merge for once. WT cheated him out of the top 5 in my opinion.
jj13dog: Wow, I didn't know anyone would spend time making a ship name for those two. Nice Pokemon reference too (much water)! XD
acosta perez jose ramiro: Thanks again. Your name is awesome btw! :)
Anyways, have a great day and I'll see you guys next time! :D
