(narrated by Chris Maclean)
Welcome to Total Drama Comeback...
We've finally reached the Final Ten! Last time, we had twenty-five challenges prepared by the campers voted off. And boy, were some of them gross! There was barfing, fainting, crashing, kissing, running, panicking, and loads of fun! In the end, the twist I had promised... was a letdown. It ended up as another vote off!
Sucked to be Courtney, who was voted off by her teammates, quite close and hard for some to pick. But hey, she's back with Duncan, and the two are free to do whatever they want! Provided, of course, they survive Leshawna's wrath.
But we're here to support the ten winners! Who are you rooting for? Are you supporting Heather and Ezekiel, or are you like Bridgette in that you want Heather to fall off a very high cliff? And who wants to see more of the campers who were voted off bring about cool revenge on those that so wrongly gave them the boot?
It's time to see if Bridgette, Cody, Ezekiel, Heather, Noah, Eva, Gwen, Harold, Izzy, and Beth have what it takes to stand alone in this contest, and how hard they can push themselves to win the ten thousand dollars at the end of the road... on TOTAL... DRAMA... COMEBACK!!
(cue the theme song, and we're good to go!)
Chapter 37 (Day 13, Part 1) - Hormones Being Driven Insane
Breakfast at Camp Wawanakwa brought many things: vomit, diarrhea, green faces, fear of death, loathing, resentment, and how to plan a sneaky escape like Solid Snake would (okay, the last one was just Harold).
Today, though, there was something else: tension. Though the ten campers had never spoke of it, it was in the air that now this was a free-for-all brawl. Most were uncomfortable with this.
Heather had most reason to be nervous. She had no allies, not even Ezekiel would help her if it meant she could be voted off; even though she kept trying to brush this off, it made her stomach dive whenever she thought of it.
Bridgette looked at her friends. Harold, Gwen, Ezekiel, and Beth, four people whom she loved as much as she loved her friends at home. Harold had been her funny friend, Ezekiel had given her support, Beth was her cheery girlfriend, and Gwen was her closest friend of all. It was hard to think about any of them going.
Izzy was worried because the jellybean smuggler was still loose, and possibly dangerous. She had found a few blood red jellybeans in her bed last night, and she knew what that was: a warning. Either that or he was trying to feed her cherry-flavored candies as a bribe, but that wouldn't work; not even cherry-flavored would discourage the redhead.
Gwen hated this island, this challenge, every bit of it. She missed Trent, she missed Leshawna, and she hated having to practically get in a cat fight with Heather every morning for the washrooms. Her only comforts were the sane and kindhearted Bridgette, Beth, and occasionally Cody. Sure, some of the other campers like Harold and Ezekiel weren't too bad, but she was a loner by nature, and she felt most comfortable with less people; that's why less competitors would be better.
Eva wasn't worried. Her tension was her inner battle with her anger, because right now she was thinking of how many different orifices she could shove this breakfast of Chef's into him; none of them were his mouth, and several would be handmade.
"Okay, campers," Chris said, looking at the two tables. "We have some imbalances here, if you all haven't noticed. Four Killer Bass, six Screaming Gophers. Four boys, six girls. Eight soon-to-be-losers, two future winners. Today, we will be scratching another one of you off.
"We'd like you to make a special confession to the Confession Cam before we begin. Give a shout out to who you miss most from the bunch of losers, and say not only how much you want to win this, but you would like to have come in second with you!"
(Confession Cam - Let's get ready to rumble!)
Noah - "Katie baby, I miss you. Never thought I'd say this before in my life, but I miss talking to someone. Especially you, you have that positive, innocent value to you that makes me smile when I think about it; unfortunately, my facial muscles have temporarily died from breakfast. Oh, and if anyone is going to win this alongside me, I guess Cody or Gwen would be tolerable."
Izzy - "Owen, I miss you, you big lug! Next time, don't get voted off first, eat the others! Anyway, I'm gonna win this, after I catch that jellybean smuggler. I would love to see Ezekiel win with me, just as soon as he stops hiding from me. Either him, or maybe Cody; he's cute and funny."
Gwen - "Trent, Leshawna, I miss you both a lot. The only really sane one here right now is Bridgette, and the tolerably sane." \She chuckles.\ "Oh, and about who else wins besides me in this stupid contest? Anyone but Heather."
Harold - "Leshawna, I miss you, my... wait, I had a great nickname for you written down, but I think I smudged it on my hand. Dang! Anyway, I think whoever wins this contest besides me would have to be Bridgette, Izzy, or Eva. They got skills."
Beth - \giggling\ "I am THO excited! I cannot wait to see what they have planned! Lindsthay, Leshawna, I mith you both much! I can win thith, justht watch me! And I'm pretty sure Eva or Gwen could win thith too. Or Cody and Zeke could too, they're nice."
Eva - \stares for a few seconds, then shrugs\ "... Hey, Justin, hi and all. Anyway, about winning this, yeah, no problem. Still, never know the curves. Well, I think Beth or Bridgette can win this too, I just hope Heather doesn't."
Cody - \He clicks his tongue and points at the camera.\ "Ladies, I miss you all! And I miss some of guy pals, like Trent, Owen, and Tyler. After heartbreak and some other lesser pains, I managed to get here! Gwen is so gonna be winning this time, I wouldn't even mind helping her; of course, all the girls do, 'specially Beth and Izzy."
Bridgette - "Geoff hon, I miss you terribly; when I finally see you again, wear padding because I'm gonna glomp-hug you so hard! About this contest, I can see most everyone getting far, minus Heather of course. I think Harold, Gwen, or Zeke will get the farthest.
Ezekiel - "Tyler dude! Hope you're happily smooching Lindsay and enjoying the plaza, eh! Geoff man, I miss you too, this island gets rather depressing with'oot you making it moo'r of a party, eh. As for winning, meh, I think that's possible, and everyone here has a great chance; probably better than me, eh.
Heather - "People at the plaza, all of you blew it one way or another, and now I'm left with little challenge. The arrogant bookworm, the psycho hose-beast, the lisping pig girl, the lanky and wheezy nerd, weird goth girl, the surfer chick, and the wannabe ladies man. The only ones who have skills are Eva and Zeke-san."
\Heather pauses, then realizes what she just said.\ "Wait... did I say that? OH NO! CHRIS! You delete that from the record, I demand it! I don't like that mullet-haired, toque-wearing, pasta-kissing...!! ... Whatever." \She leaves the outhouse.\
The ten campers stood outside the cafeteria, exchanging glances and chitchat. Chris Maclean looked down them, smiling proudly.
"You know what's great?" he said. "The first three people to be voted off from TDI, Zeke and Eva and Noah, are all here in the Final Ten this time around. Also, we got seven out of the ten who didn't make it to the Final Ten last time either."
"How is any of this relevant?" Noah asked, crossing his arms.
"It isn't, just thought it would be interesting if the viewers hadn't known about it yet."
"That's what Wikipedia is for, Chris," the egghead continued with a roll of his eyes.
"Naw man, you cannot trust them," Harold chimed in. "The page on Total Drama Island changes, like, every day."
Chris Maclean cleared his throat. "Moving along, we are starting the first challenge of the Final Ten, the thirteenth challenge overall! You punks feeling lucky?"
"Bring it on, eh," Ezekiel shouted, pumping his fists into the air.
"I'm gonna murderize all of them," Izzy hollered.
"Let me at 'em," Eva said with a fierce growl in her voice.
"Then get ready for ten new dares today," Chris said, doing a dramatic sweep with his hand, "provided by the contestants you all voted off!"
The campers exchanged glances, and Beth was the first one to ask what was on their minds. "Wait, we're doing dares that the campers who were voted off?"
"Yep!"
"Are you saying we're repeating the same challenge that we just did?!" Gwen shouted at Chris, furious at the host's audacity. "Don't you have ANY originality?!"
"Your words wound me, dear Gwen," Chris said with a smirk, "but they should offend those that have been voted off, because they have ten challenges for you like none other! You all are seriously going to be tested at least one, even those that think they can best any challenge."
Eva cocked an eyebrow. "You throw down the gauntlet fast, Maclean; I like that."
"Thanks, Eva! Now before we begin, I think I should mention the prizes and penalties for this contest!
"If you manage to pass all ten, you get a ride on the romantic cruise ship that we offered from our sixth challenge! You'll return here after the weekend is over-"
"That prize again?" Eva shouted, throwing her fists up in fury. "You know, some of us here are single! What is it with you, do you have stock in that cruise business?"
"No," Chris said, sticking his hands in his pocket. Out of one pocket fell a brochure of the romantic ferry business. "Maybe."
Eva rubbed her forehead, then sighed. Beth raised her hand. "Can you," the farm girl asked, "ask anyone, including thosthe voted off?"
"Indeed you can!"
Beth and Eva exchanged glances. "Okay, farm girl," the muscular girl said, grinning at the shorter girl, "whoever wins gets to ask Justin on that cruise."
"You're on, Eva!"
"As I was saying," Chris exclaimed, waving his hand over his head, "if you win all ten challenges, you also get immunity. If you win nine out of ten, you get immunity but no romantic cruise.
"If you only can complete eight to zero challenges, you are vulnerable to votes. HOWEVER! You all might want to be careful if you get five or less completed. If any amount of campers goes under six victories, the camper who has the least amount of victories is immediately disqualified!"
Chris Maclean wiggled his eyebrows. "So you all might want to complete more than half of your friends' challenges... in today's challenge of... The Final Ten's Ten Finals!"
"Cute," Noah remarked, rolling his eyes.
"Are these really hard challenges?" Beth asked.
"Well, why don't you ask the creator of the first one?" Chris Maclean suggested, gesturing to the Dock of Losers. The Boat of Losers was pulling up just then, and a certain party animal leapt off.
"What's happening, dudes?" Geoff hollered, running towards the finalists.
Bridgette gasped, her eyes sparkling in delight. "Geoff? Geoff!"
"That's right, it's me," the party lover declared, standing in front of the finalists. "And my challenge is... AWK!"
A blond-and-blue blur suddenly glomp-hugged him, knocking him off his feet and sending him skidding across the grass. "I missed you so much!"
"I missed you too, babe, but... mmmph!"
Bridgette started kissing him, and she wasn't holding back. Geoff immediately forgot what he had come back to the island for, and wrapped his arms around his girlfriend.
"Oh my," Gwen commented, her eyes wide. "Wow. She really did miss him."
(Confession Cam - Let's get ready to make out!)
Harold - "Wow. Gosh. Maybe I should do that when and if I get to see Leshawna today? No, no, I could hurt her. Hmmm..."
It took the combined efforts of Eva, Gwen, and Izzy to pull Bridgette off of Geoff. The surfer chick, red in the face and panting, wiped her lips with her sleeve. "Errr, sorry. Go ahead, Geoff."
"Errr, right," the party animal replied, straightening his lucky hat. "Well, the first challenge of Final Ten's Ten Finals is a classic dare, a dare that makes people stare! Who wants to see some underwear?"
The finalists exchanged glances, confused by this. "What on earth are you talking about?" Gwen asked him.
"The first dare is the Underwear Flash," Geoff declared, looking very pleased. He walked over to the cameraman, and patted the top. "See this beauty here?"
"Careful, buddy," the cameraman remarked, "this beauty costs five hundred dollars."
Geoff shuffled away from the expensive gadget. "Well, you see it. So your dare is to flash your underwear, top or bottom for girls, and you win! That easy!"
"You're just doing this because there are more girls than guys," Heather shouted in fury.
"Mmmmmmaaaaaaaybe," Geoff purred, rubbing his chin slyly. "So, who's gonna flash the undies first?"
The campers exchanged glances again, looking nervous and/or upset. The silence was broken with the creak of the Confession Cam's door.
"Did I miss the rules for the first challenge?" Harold asked, peeking out. His pants were pooled at his feet, his briefs exposed to the world.
There was a pause, then Geoff cheered. "Harold wins!" The nerd looked confused, then he realized his pants were down. Cursing, he pulled them up as quick as possible.
Cody, not to be outdone, unbuttoned his pants and dropped them. Flexing as he displayed his briefs, he grinned. "Enjoy the view, ladies! Woo!"
Heather, Eva, and Noah burst out laughing. Izzy scowled at them, then wolf-whistled at Cody. Bridgette and Gwen, to be nice, let out cat calls.
"And the handsome man Cody wins too," Geoff shouted, clapping. "Dudes, this is so much fun! C'mon, people, let's see some more undies!"
Izzy let out a wild shout, then ran in front of every one. She lifted up her green top, exposing her bra to the camera. "Here's second base, boys and girls, enjoy the view!" Pulling her top down and running off, she cackled and howled wildly. The others watched, some startled and some amused.
Gwen sighed, then lifted her gothic top to show off her black bra. Noah, with resentment in every single motion, dropped his pants; he waited with a furious glare on his face until Geoff gave the okay, then he yanked them back up. Ezekiel did the same as Noah, but was smiling in amusement instead.
Heather looked utterly repulsed. "I don't wear a bra with this top, party freak."
"Then you gotta show your panties, girl."
"What?! N... nuh...," Heather began to stammer, then furiously crossed her arms. "I hate you so much right now."
She unbuttoned her shorts and pulled them down slightly, exposing her pink underwear. Most of the campers began to whistle and cheer, as she shouted angrily at them to shut up.
Beth was shivering in fright, looking down at herself. "I...," she muttered, "I cannot do thith. I... I'm too sthcared."
Heather, buttoning her shorts back up, smirked back at the farm girl. "Too bad, pig girl."
The farm girl turned away in shame, as Eva patted her shoulder in comfort. "Looksth like you get Justin," Beth said to her.
Geoff shrugged and offered the short girl a smile. "It's okay, babe, no one's forcing you to do it."
"Yeah, it's fine," Eva said, a rare bit of sympathy on her part. She faced the camera, then lifted up her sports top to reveal her sports bra to the camera.
Bridgette, the last one, giggled nervously as she lifted up her jacket and shirt. Geoff whistled in approval, and she turned a bright red.
"Is that your lucky bra?" Gwen asked the surfer girl with a sly smile.
"No, no it isn't," Bridgette said, still blushing.
"Whoa, Bridgette, you got a lucky bra?" Geoff asked, his face lighting up.
"And the first dare of the Final Ten's Ten Finals is done," Chris announced. "Only one person was unable to complete it! So Geoff will lead you to your next challenge, and then he'll be leaving you in the care of the next ex-camper."
"Aw, c'mon," Bridgette whined, her arm already around Geoff's waist. "Can't Geoff stay with us?"
"No Bridgette, he'll be waiting by the bonfire ceremony area until we're done with all the dares."
"One more kiss?"
"Oh... okay."
(Confession Cam - Let's get ready to get ready!)
Gwen - "... And that one last kiss lasted five minutes. That was amazing."
After pulling Bridgette away from Geoff, and also having to go out and find where Izzy had run off to, the campers were reassembled at the next area. A short distance from the campgrounds, Courtney was standing alone with a pointer in her hands.
"Greetings, finalists," she said pleasantly. "It's time for your second dare."
"How are you and Duncan doing at the plaza, hmmmm?" Harold called out, grinning impishly.
Courtney flushed slightly, then tapped the top of Harold's head with her pointer. "Now now, calm down. Questions later.
"What we are going to do is appeal to all fields of the court, if you catch my drift, hehe. You see, since we are nationally broadcast, and we must be considerate to all manners of people. So today, for your second dare, you are going to have to be open-minded. Thus-"
"Get on with it," Eva growled.
"Yes," Heather shouted, "get on with it!!"
"GET ON WITH IT," Izzy, Noah, and Gwen roared in unison.
Courtney's eye twitched, and she sighed. "You're going to kiss someone of the same gender."
This shocked all of the finalists. "Um, what?" Beth managed to squeak out.
"It's the Yaoi/Yuri Tribute dare," Courtney continued, now grinning wickedly. "Pick your partner, one of the same gender, and give him or her a big smoocho!"
Izzy immediately rushed over to a couple of the boys. "Noah, Cody," she cried out, her wicked grin spreading across her face in record time, "time to appease the fangirls!"
"Oh no no no no," Noah started to chant, his eyes going wide.
"Yes yes yes yes," Izzy chanted back. "It's boy kissing time! Go for it!"
Cody, also looking nervous, shrugged. "Um, okay. Noah? If you're ready."
"Ready for a firing squad moreso," the egghead growled. He shut his eyes tight, leaned towards Cody, and started to pucker up. Cody, wincing, began to pucker up and leaned forward.
"Yes, yes," Izzy purred, her hands up to her mouth, "go on, go on, smooch smooch!"
When they were about an inch apart, Noah's eyes opened slightly. Seeing Cody so close, puckered up and ready to kiss him, he let out a horrified scream. Cody was so badly startled, he screamed too.
Noah ran off, hands up in the air and sprinting like a girl. Cody was knocked back by him during his hasty retreat, and the tech-geek fell on his back on the grassy ground.
"Oh no," Izzy whined, looking very crestfallen. "So many fangirls have been let down."
Ezekiel cocked an eyebrow. "Well, we gotta have one pair of guys do it to be fair, eh," he said. Quite suddenly, he grabbed Harold's collar, pulled the taller boy close, and kissed him on the lips.
Jaws dropped. Gasps went round. Eyes widened, including both Harold's and Ezekiel's. The prairie boy let go and pulled away from the taller boy. "Um, Harold?" he said as he wiped his lips with his sleeve. "No offense, eh, but you could really use some chap stick."
"Well, I was gonna put some on, but you were just too eager to kiss me, idiot," Harold muttered, also wiping his mouth.
Courtney, who was probably the most wide-eyed, shook off her shock. "Um, yeah, so Harold and Ezekiel pass."
Regardless of what just happened between them, Harold and Ezekiel grinned and high-fived. "Too easy," Harold said.
"Yeah, I doo'nt knoo' what was Noah's problem was, eh," Ezekiel commented.
Bridgette and Gwen exchanged glances, amazed by the boys' quick victory. "Well?" the surfer chick asked, smiling.
"Yes, I believe we should."
The two girls pulled each other close and gave each other a big kiss. Cody, Ezekiel, and Harold all made high-pitched whimpers, more wide-eyed and gaping than anyone else had been. When the two girls parted, Cody let out a very happy swoon.
"Okay, you two pass," Courtney said, noticing how pleased the boys looked. "Boys, you can stop staring now."
Bridgette and Gwen exchanged a wink as they stepped away, causing Harold to swoon and fall down. Ezekiel wiped away the blood that had leaked from his nose, and he muttered, "Yeb, ub, who'bs nebst?"
"Me me me," Izzy chanted. "Look out fanboys, Izzy's applying some FAN SERVICE! Wooo!"
She grabbed Beth, and kissed the startled the farm girl before anyone, including Beth, could react. After a few seconds, the redhead parted from the shorter girl. "There, all done!"
Courtney was wide-eyed again. "Um, Izzy?"
"What, longer?" the redhead rolled her eyes and threw up her hands in a fit. "Fine, okay!" She wrapped her arms around Beth and started to kiss her again.
"No, Izzy, it's good," Courtney shouted. "You two pass, you pass!"
Izzy let go of Beth, who fell on her butt. "We did? Oh cool! Hey, Beth, we passed."
"Um, what?" the farm girl asked, flushed and dazed.
Courtney looked over at Heather and Eva, then a wicked grin that was much like Izzy's spread across the CIT's face. "You two are the only ones left. Go for it."
Eva bristled. Heather gasped.
(Confession Cam - Let's get ready to smooch!)
Eva - "Aw man. Chris wasn't kidding when he said these challenges would be hard. I could pump about three hundred pounds, wrestle a bear, break a brick with my bare hands... but kiss Heather?! I think I'd rather rip out my eyeballs with a corkscrew."
Heather glared at Eva, taking her queen bee stance. "You are going to kiss me, you hear that?" she snapped at the fitness buff. "I am not losing this challenge because you are a weakling!"
Eva's eye twitched. "Weakling?" she repeated in a dangerous whisper. "Weakling?! WEAKLING!? I'LL SHOW YOU!!"
She yanked Heather down to her level, and gave the queen bee a very harsh kiss on the lips. Everyone made disgusted grunts and groans as Eva opened one eye and looked over at Courtney.
"Yes yes, you pass," the CIT informed her.
Eva pushed Heather away, so hard that the queen bee was knocked several feet away. Courtney was unable to hold back a giggle at this, then cleared her throat.
"Okay, everyone but Noah and Cody passed this challenge," she said, smiling pleasantly. "That sure was fun, wasn't it? Well, onto your next challenge, and I wish you all the best of luck!"
"Wait, that was kind of one-sided," Heather said as she stood up. "There were more girls than guys, it was pretty unreasonable."
"Well, I thought about that, and the only other guys on the island are Chef and Chris," Courtney replied, cocking an eyebrow with a smug smile. "Want to see them kiss?"
"NO NO NO," the ten campers shouted as loud as they could, "NO NO NO NO NO!!"
(Confession Cam - Let's get ready to advance!)
Harold - "That was awkward. Not totally unpleasant, though... I mean, I surely have done worse around here."
Beth - \still dazed\ "Oh... oh my gosh."
Bridgette - "Gwen's lipstick has an interesting taste."
Noah - "Damn it all, foiled by one lousy challenge. But then again, nothing could be more humiliating than that."
Lindsay stood in front of the communal restrooms, beaming at the finalists. "Hiyas, everyone," the blond beauty chirped, happy and bubbly as ever, "I admire you all immensely for making it this far!
"Now's let see! Nick, Bella, Hannah, Erika, Korey, Belinda, Lizzie, Harpo, Greta, and that one guy who's dating Hannah, it's time for your Alternate Makeover!"
"What'sth that?" Bella (Beth) asked.
"I'm gonna make you all look so much more pretty, make you all over," Lindsay said with a happy squeal.
"That doesn't sound too bad," Korey (Cody) remarked.
"As someone of the opposite gender!"
Eyes bulged. Jaws dropped. Palms hit foreheads.
"This," Noah grumbled, "is getting to be the worst day ever created."
"Who's ready for a saloon treatment?" Lindsay chimed, holding up blusher and lipstick.
Ezekiel smacked his lips, which were coated in cherry lip gloss. "The shorts are a little tight," he said, looking down at his new short shorts, "but the black stockings are up to my thighs, it feels awkward."
Eva flipped her ponytail, which was fashioned into a more masculine manner. She cracked her knuckles, and looked down at her new top, which sported no sleeves. "I don't think she put a lot of effort on me, and yet, I'm quite okay with that."
Noah looked down at his chest, which was now puffed up in a girly way, so to speak. "Well, I hate these shorts, the knee-high socks are ridiculous, and I don't know why I'm the only one with fake DD boobs!"
Izzy cackled. "You make them look good!" She was wearing green shorts, a minimal green wrap over her breasts, and her red hair was tucked under a boyish hair wig. A green headband kept the wig on.
Cody looked down at his legs, which were no longer covered because he was wearing a knee-long skirt. "Well, I got the legs for this, and the hair extensions don't hurt like I thought they would."
Beth nervously fidgeted with her hair, her ponytail gone. She was wearing green overalls, and a pink and green shirt. "I'm not sthure I like wearing overallsth."
"I don't like belly shirts," Harold remarked, looking down at himself. Lindsay had managed to find a shirt just like his, except it exposed his belly and shoulders. He nervously blinked because the eye shadow was itching. "And I think I may be allergic to this stuff."
"That stuff always irritates peoples' eyes. And they wonder why I don't like make-up," Bridgette remarked. She was wearing boys jeans, a short-sleeved jacket, and her hair was done in a boyish ponytail. "Still, I gotta admit, she did a lovely job with you, Heather."
Heather glared at Bridgette something fierce. The queen bee's make-up was all gone, replaced with some fake stubble on her cheeks. She was wearing a tight magenta shirt with no sleeves, khaki slacks, and she was wearing a wig that was the most manly haircut possible. "Shut up."
Gwen smirked, her eyes twinkling but only one showing. Her other one was hidden by green bangs, and a black beanie topped her head. She was wearing a gothic green-and-blue shirt, a black vest, a spiked belt, black jeans, and gothic boots. "Yes, Heather, you look marvelous. The stubble is a good look on you."
"Shut up, shut up, shut up," Heather shouted.
"You can't kiss Estaban while you have that fake stubble," Lindsay instructed the queen bee. "It'll rub off."
"So, we're done, right?" Noah asked. He pulled on one of his fake boobs, then let it knock against the other, starting a metronome swing. "You humiliated us, you dressed us up, so can we get rid of this stuff?"
"No, Norm, you have to keep it on until you're done with all the challenges," Lindsay instructed him. "And stop knocking your boobs, please, it's unnerving."
(Confession Cam - Let's get ready to cross-dress!)
Noah - \trying to cross his arms underneath his very large, fake breasts\ "This... is something I'll never live down. Ten thousand bucks is not worth this... but... it's too late to turn back now."
Gwen - \She flips one of her green bangs away from her eye.\ "Oddly enough, this is rather... fun. And Cody looks so cute with that skirt on." \She laughs.\
Cody - "... Is it wrong Gwen's still hot when dressed as a boy?"
Eva - "This is like some kind of weird fetish."
"Hello," Owen said, desperately trying to hold back laughter, "boys... and... girls! BUA HA HA HA HA HAAAA!"
He fell down, shaking the earth, kicking his legs up in the air. Heather snarled and kicked him in the side, but it just made him laugh harder.
Chris dangled a cookie over Owen's nose, and the chunky teen stopped laughing. He snatched the cookie and started munching.
"Yum," he replied, then brushed off his mouth. Izzy hopped onto his back, performed an impressive handstand on his shoulders, lowered herself down and kissed her boyfriend.
"What's the challenge, my big slab of man?" she said with a giggle, sitting in a classic piggy back position.
"Yes, that's right," Owen exclaimed, recovering from the pleasant shock of an upside-down kiss from his girlfriend, "it's time for the fourth challenge in Final Ten's Ten Final! Who's ready?"
The campers exchanged glances, looking worried. Owen noticed this, and cocked his head. "What? Why you look so nervous? Surely whatever I think of cannot be worse than what you've all already done."
Noah shrugged. "True, I guess."
"Except if he wants us to binge on rotten food," Heather remarked.
"Or see who can let out the loudest belch or fart," Harold said.
"Or tell us all to eat laxative and see who stays in the bathroom longest," Eva grumbled.
"Or worse," Beth whimpered.
Owen was writing down on a notepad during this. "Uh-huh, uh-huh. But no, my challenge is nothing like this. You see, I have a great skill I don't think any of you do!"
Whimpers escaped from mouths. Lips were bit in nervousness. Prays of mercy were made.
"Fishing!"
Owen held up a fishing pole. "Fishing for everyone here! You have one hour to catch a fish or any other type of ocean creature!"
He tossed fishing poles to everyone, and then clapped. "It's time for you all to start fishing! And ladies, don't let your make-up run!"
Owen fell down again, hitting the ground as he cackled. The boys dressed as girls rolled their eyes, shrugged, and cast their lines.
(Confession Cam - Let's get ready to fish for fish!)
Heather - "I cannot say how immensely relieved I am that Owen picked something sanitary for his challenge."
Bridgette - "While I don't approve of fishing, Owen let me know, after he was done laughing that is, that I can release the fish after I catch it. So no harm done."
Ezekiel - \He is filing his nails, blowing on them occasionally.\ "Sure, it's an interesting dare, but holding a fishing pole so tightly almost ruined my nails, eh. And Lindsay worked hard on these."
Fishing turned out to be a lot more tedious than most of the campers thought.
Ezekiel was complaining about ruining his nails. Eva started hitting the water with her fishing rod, yelling and swearing at the fish to take the bait. Harold accidentally stuck himself with his fishing hook several times.
Bridgette was actually the first to catch one, a beautiful bass. She tossed it back in the water, wishing it the best of luck; Owen let out a long sigh and muttered, "There goes my lunch."
Noah managed to reel up a small octopus. Ezekiel whimpered at the sight of it, but stood his ground.
"My, how interesting," Noah commented as he held it up. "Looks like I may have a knack for catching sushi."
The octopus sprayed ink at him, splattering his face. The egghead blinked, then looked over at Owen. "Permission to chuck the little dickweed back into the ocean?"
"Sure thing," Owen said, then added, "HAW HAW HAW HAW!"
"Hey guys," Izzy called out. "Look what I caught! Look look look!"
She had, hanging from her fishing line, a great white shark dangling in front of her. The rest of the campers screamed and put as much distance between themselves and the shark as possible.
"That's really cool, Izzy," Owen whimpered, hiding behind Eva, "but you gotta throw it back."
"Phooey."
Gwen caught a small fish, and dropped it down the back of Heather's shirt. The queen bee let out a scream, and fell into the water. As the campers laughed, she pulled herself back onto the dock.
After a second of letting herself drip, she let out a startled cry. She strained, then she pulled a small fish out of her pocket.
"Ooo, you managed to catch a fish without using your rod," Owen said, marveling at Heather. "Good job!"
Gwen slapped her forehead. "Well, that was rather stupid of me," she grumbled, then looked over at her friends. "Don't hate me for that."
"The prank wath worth it," Beth said with a grin.
"Ub, I'b obay wid ib," Ezekiel strained to say, holding his bloody nose shut. Gwen quirked an eyebrow, then noticed he was staring at Heather. The ravenhair's breasts was perfectly outlined under the tight male shirt, and her nipples were hardened from the cold.
"Zeke, you're a girl now, remember?" Gwen said to him, crossing her arms. "That's just weird."
"I knoo', I'b terreb'blee ashamed with mybelf, eh."
Bridgette saw all this. She bit her finger nervously, looking to the side.
(Confession Cam - Let's get ready to scheme!)
Bridgette - "Okay, now I'm seriously worried! Ezekiel is falling for Heather, I can see it! I cannot let him do that, she would hurt him so much! I hate to say it... but I'm going to have to be a bit of a schemer."
When the fishing contest was over, most of the campers had caught a fish. Only Eva and Beth had failed to do so, and the two girls hung their heads in shame.
"Too bad neither of uth get to asthk out Justin now," Beth muttered.
"Yeah, this sucks more than fishing does normally," Eva remarked.
Cody patted Beth's shoulder. "You can always get another shot in the future, Beth. After all, Chris seems to own stock in that ferry business."
"Thanksth, Cody," the farm girl said, then giggled. "You know, I might have asked you out on that cruise."
Cody blushed, fidgeting nervously with his skirt. "Um, really?"
"Yeah, but I don't date girlsth."
The tech-geek, fitness buff, and farm girl burst out laughing. They followed Owen, who was leading them to the next challenge.
Bridgette slung her arm around Ezekiel, smiling at him rather coyly. "You weren't so bad at fishing, home school. Ever have any practice?"
"No, not really," he replied, still cleaning the blood away from his nose with tissues.
"You know, my friend Sabrina loves to fish," she said, ever-so-subtlely. "I don't care much for it, but she loves to spend the time at the docks; she loves to listen to music or read as she does so."
"Interesting, eh," Ezekiel said, then he blinked. "Wait, wasn't Sabrina the one who fancied my accent?"
"Yep! She once told me that she could spend hours listening to it."
"Oh my," Ezekiel flushed slightly. "But I'm not much of a talker, eh."
As Bridgette and Ezekiel continued to chat, Heather watched them from behind. "What's that blond tramp trying to do?" she asked herself.
"Keep him away from you," Gwen replied, elbowing Heather out of the way. "Bridgette knows nice girls like Zeke should stay away from bad men like you."
"Get bent, weird goth... guy!"
"Oh, I'm so mortally wounded."
Owen led them to the stage, which had the curtains closed. He walked off with a wave and a fart.
"He needs to see a doctor about that," Cody remarked, pinching his nose shut.
"Especially since he's around the ladies," Harold replied, shaking his head.
"Gardenia loves to be around boys, and she likes intelligent boys too," Bridgette was telling Ezekiel. "And she's a bit of a coffee addict too. You like coffee, right?"
"Well, kinda, but-"
They were interrupted when the curtain was flung open, and Katie and Sadie strutted out. "Hi, guys," they chimed in unison.
"Noah," Katie added, and flung herself off the stage at her boyfriend. The egghead was barely able to let out a cry of surprise before she hit him, knocking them down to the ground (rather painfully for him).
"Ow," he whimpered.
"Sorry about that," Katie said. "But wow, your boobs cushioned my fall!"
"So glad my new look had benefited us both."
Eva snickered. "So then, twin girls, what's the challenge?"
Sadie giggled and clapped her hands. "Well, we call it the Mesmerizing Peep Show!"
The campers who did not have a girlfriend lying on them looked nervous by this. "What," Cody dared to ask, "are we peeping on?"
"Oh, you'll find out," Katie said. "Only one of you is allowed behind the curtain at a time. Behind there is something so startling that you have five seconds to look away before you fail the dare. You all ready?"
Noah's eyes widened. "Oh, it's Justin, isn't it?" he got up, helping Katie up as well. A determined scowl spread across his face. "I'll show that anti-me he's not all that a bag of potato chips!"
"You actually use that quote, dude?" Harold asked.
"Well, when you got Valley Girl boobs, the mood fits."
Noah stormed behind the curtain, throwing it back. There was Justin, shirtless and soaking wet, one of the most beautiful, gorgeous sights a mortal could lay eyes on.
Sadie stood next to him, holding a stopwatch and giggling. "Five seconds, Noah," she reminded him.
"Oh tosh," Noah said, turning up his nose and closing his eyes. "Piffery. Mummypots."
"Wha-da-wha?" Sadie stammered, looking confused.
"Never mind, Sadie, he looked away," Justin said with a shrug. "Not bad, Noah."
"Yeah, it's hard to see how us guys will have trouble with this," the egghead countered.
"You're the one with double-Ds, dude."
"Don't talk about my boobs," Noah snapped before storming out.
Justin and Sadie exchanged looks. "He seems awfully mean to be dating Katie," Justin commented.
"It's a ying-yang thing, really," Sadie replied. "I hope she spreads some of that Katie-niceness onto him."
"Gonna need a lot of Katie-niceness."
(Confession Cam - Let's get ready to ogle!)
Noah - "Yeah, you all might think of me as a homophobic jerk right now. Not wanting to kiss Cody, hating to dress up as a girl, looking away from Justin. Well people, there are limits to showing how 'open-minded' you are, and these aren't within them, damn it!"
Eva was unable to look away from Justin when she walked backstage. She stood there, gaping mouth and long-winded swoon on her breath. When Sadie tried to pull the fitness buff back out, the muscular girl shoved the larger girl away with one push. Justin had to ask Eva to leave, and she did as she was told; when she walked back out onto the stage, she slapped her forehead and cursed herself something awful and unrepeatable here.
Cody managed to look away. He blushed when Sadie whistled at him, and told him how cute his skirt was.
Gwen gaped when she saw Justin, and began to shake as her mind was screaming at her to look away, while her hormones were screaming to continue gazing. She managed to tear herself away from looking milliseconds before the fifth second ticked by.
Heather was transfixed when she saw Justin; however, when the male model saw Heather with smeared, fake stubble on her face, he shouted and flinched. She turned her nose up in an almost-instinctual habit, and succeeded in the dare.
Izzy was glaring at Justin when she saw him, but this led to her downfall, as she was glaring for more than five seconds. Cursing at him, she stomped out as Justin insisted to Sadie, "I never dated her, I don't know why she keeps saying that!"
Ezekiel was almost hypnotized by the sight of a shirtless, wet Justin. He smacked himself forcefully with the last of his willpower, managing to look away with his own blow. When Justin and Sadie congratulated him, he asked if he had smeared his make-up.
Bridgette swallowed nervously as she stared at the gorgeous man. When he winked at her, she swooned and looked up at the sky dreamily, which counted as the same as looking away from him. With a mutter of, "Don't tell Geoff, please o' please," she quickly ran away.
Harold took one look at Justin, and looked away with a finger in his nose. Sadie let out a loud, "Ewwwwww," as Justin burst out laughing. "You men and gross humor, you're all alike," she remarked.
Beth took a deep breath as she saw Justin, and was surprised when the male model looked at her sheepishly. "Wh-what?" the farm girl asked.
"Nothing, it's just that," Justin said, shrugging his wonderful shoulders and looking away bashfully, "you look really cute in those overalls."
Beth swooned and fell over backwards in a faint. As Justin went to wake her, Sadie shook her head. "Poor girl, if she had done that one second earlier, she would have passed."
Katie was kissing Noah out on the stage, trying to get close but it wasn't easy with Noah's large, fake breasts. "Shame we don't get that romantic cruise again," she said.
Noah sighed, then shrugged. "I doubt I'd be allowed on with this carryon luggage," he said as he bumped her with his fake boobs accidentally, trying to hold her closer.
She giggled and kissed him again. Beth was being led out by Sadie and Justin, the male model putting on a shirt.
"Hey, Beth, you okay?" Cody asked. "You're awfully red in the face."
The farm girl let out a happy sigh, then nodded. "I'm great, really I am."
"Lucky girl got complimented by Justin," Sadie said, giggling. "I'd die for a compliment, you know."
"I've always said you were a great swimmer, Sadie," the male model pointed out. The larger BFFF swooned and fainted.
Cody waved a hand in front of Beth's happy face, and didn't get a reaction. He let out a crestfallen sigh, which Gwen noticed from her uncovered eye.
(Confession Cam - Let's get ready to ogle!)
Cody - \crossing his legs as she faces the camera\ "Why does every girl I like have to fall for someone cooler, hunkier, and more talented?"
Gwen - "Man, I was really hoping Beth and Cody would hit it off. But then again, Justin is kind of like a flash in the pan, there is hope!"
Katie clapped her hands, catching the attention of everyone. When all eyes were on her, she announced, "As much as I'd love to spend more time with Noah and you all... I gotta revive Sadie!"
She leapt to the side of her best friend, waving a hand over her face. Justin watched for a second, then turned to the campers.
"It's time to head back to the campground, where more of the challenges await," he informed them. "And I gotta say, the next one may be rough on some of you. Hope you're prepared!"
(Confession Cam - Let's get ready to cliffhanger the crowd!)
Harold - "Um, when did Justin start talking?"
Noah - "Yeah, my reunion would have been better if I didn't have these blocking the way!" \He swats the fake boobs, and sighs.\ "I'll never find a girl with extra-large boobs attractive again, these things are giving me back pain."
Izzy - "Izzy hates Justin, he ruined everything! I wish he was the jellybean smuggler, but there's no way he could have delivered the threatening beans last night."
Cody - \glumly resting his head on a hand\ "So much for a romantic cruise. Then again, who could I take? Beth's swooning over Justin, and Eva would probably kill me."
Heather - "Bridgette is up to something, and I'm going to find out what. She's not going to keep me away from Ezekiel. ... Not that I like him, I just need an ally! Honest!"
Bridgette - "I am not, repeat not, letting a spoiled, rich girl hurt another of my friends! I just have to keep Zeke's mind elsewhere for the time being. I don't think anyone suspects me of anything right now, 'cause I'm playing as subtle as possible."
Ezekiel - \tapping his chin\ "I'm pretty sure Bridgette is woo'ried I'm really attracted to Heather, who wants to use me as an ally, eh. Though Bridge's friends do sound really nice..."
Beth - \swoons\ "Justhin likesth me! I didn't think it wath pothible..." \She drifts off, then looks worried.\ "Oh... but Cody... oh dear, what do I do? ... Wait, am I actually consthidering two guysth are anxiousth to date me?" \She laughs, then sighs.\
Gwen - "So, it's either Justin or Cody for Beth, then. Never thought I'd be involved in another love triangle. This sounds more like Bridgette's work, but she's too busy trying to distract Zeke so he doesn't fall for the rich witch."
Eva - "How can these people think of relationships at a time like this? There are still five challenges, and I've done crappy so far! These are harder than I thought they would be, damn it. I should never taunt Chris, he doesn't fight fair."
Chris took a deep breath as he stood outside the cafeteria. "How you holding out over there, Duncan?"
"Fine, Chris," the punk replied as he cleaned his nails with his switchblade.
"How about you two?" Chris called out to DJ and Trent, who were sitting at a table in the middle of the campgrounds.
"Fine, really," Trent called back. "It's not like we're waiting for an enemy attack or anything, Chris, why do you keep checking up on us?"
"Sorry, just a little worried about some of the upcoming challenges," Chris said, shrugging his shoulders. "Some of these might get ugly."
"Which is good for ratings," DJ muttered under his breath. Trent had heard him, and nodded.
"Still makes me think though," Chris said, tapping his chin. "I mean, of those cross-dressing, spit-swapping campers...
"Who is going to lose this? Elizabeth, Evan, Noel, Rizzo, Colette, Bart, Harmony, Brandon, Hector, or Greg?"
"I wonder," Duncan mused aloud, "if any of them are going to win the romantic cruise prize?"
"Well, I'm more concerned about the romantic struggles, to be honest," Trent admitted. "What's going to happen between Beth, Cody, and Justin? And is Bridgette going to keep Ezekiel away from Heather?"
"None of those questions are as puzzling," DJ remarked, quirking an eyebrow, "as to why you all are summing up the day's events so far?"
"Force of habit," Chris admitted. "You never know when commercial breaks may start."
Part 2 approaching, we really mean it.

Okay, I'd better make a quick comment for all the Cody x Beth fans out there. I keep repeating myself, nothing is official yet. And if you aren't a fan of that pairing, it's the same message to you.
Now with half of the campers having failed at least one challenge, things might get more interesting. What's in store from Trent, DJ, Duncan, Chris, Leshawna, and Tyler? You'll find out eventually!
