Mario Total Drama Island

Episode Fifteen

Trust v. Deceit


The familiar host is standing on the dock of shame with a wide grin on his face. Donkey Kong smiles creepily and winks at the camera oddly. He's only wearing a red bowtie which is crooked compared to the rest of him. He evens out his bowtie and scratches his fur on the side of his face but he still continues to smile. Lakitu motions him to begin the recap.

Donkey Kong begins the recap, "Previously on Mario Total Drama Island, I had to take a day off because fleas got out of control so I went to- uh, that's not important. Anyways, this crazy chick was hounding me for a chance to host the show, so I had no choice but to allow her to host it for once and I guess it's not that big of a deal, but still. So anyways, the campers had to undergo a beauty pageant challenge which was the ultimate challenge. We saw many of the female camper's true colors, but some stayed true to themselves. Goombella reined superior and proved her usefulness to her team. Janette, on the other hand, let her passion get the best of her during the challenge. In the end, Toodles decided who would be eliminated and she decided to send Janette home, bummer, but Janette can't sue or anything because it stated in the contract that something like that is perfectly fair. I could kick any of the current campers off right now if I wanted to, but I'm not. So, uh, yeah. What will happen today? Will people be betrayed? Will a couple split this episode? And why am I rambling on and on? Find out all this and more tonight with the MOST shocking campfire ceremony of the season so far, on Mario, Total Drama Island!"


The opening sequence begins, and this time it's back to normal.


The first scene begins behind the Fat Fireflowers' cabin where Toadette and Koops are outside playing soccer. They are both wearing their soccer uniforms, and apparently they both play varsity soccer for their schools. They set up a net and Koops is playing goalie while Toadette is kicking the soccer ball. Toadette kicks the soccer ball passed Koops and into the net.

"Gooooaaal!" Toadette shouts with a wide grin. "And you say you're the goalie of your high school soccer team?"

"Hey, we had a winning season last year. You're just a really good soccer player." Koops defends himself as he nervously rubs his arm.

"Aw, thanks. I've been playing all my life. It sucks that I couldn't practice this summer because of the show, but it's nice to know that there's someone else on the island that'll play soccer with me." Toadette replies with a smile.

"Uh, yeah. But what about Prince Mush?" Koops asks.

"Prince Mush, really isn't in to soccer like that. Actually I think he hates it, but he only cares about wrestling which he practices with Birdo." Toadette explains as she gets pensive for a moment about her relationship with Prince Mush.

"Oh, well then it's a good thing I'm here then. " Koops laughs as he kicks the soccer ball around Toadette who chases after him.

"Yeah, I guess that is a good thing." Toadette replies with a smile. She then gets the soccer ball and kicks it in the goal again.

Koops just smiles at Toadette and then he responds, "No fair, you caught me off guard. You're so lucky you're pretty."

Toadette just shakes her head and stands in front of the goal. Koops kicks the ball and then the scene transitions to the confessional.


In Confessional

Koops – /referring to Toadette/ "Uh… we have so much in common. We're both into soccer, we both are fans of anime, we both hate spiders, we both hate swimming, and we both like Mall of Duty even though we both suck at it. We're like a perfect match…" /sighs/ "…but she loves Prince Mush and I'm still tied down with Koopie Koo… a girl I have nothing in common with. I mean, come on, Prince Mush won't even play soccer with her, that says a lot about how much he cares about Toadette. But I don't want to be unfaithful to Koopie Koo… and Toadette probably doesn't even like me, I'm wasting my time…"

Toadette – "It's really awesome having another person that plays soccer on the island. I wish Prince Mush would play soccer with me…"


The next scene is in the girl's cabin of the Poison Mushrooms. Peach is feeling mixed emotions over what she saw the night before. She seems a bit emotionally unstable, as if she is going to kill Pauline from what she saw earlier. She and Mona are the only ones in the cabin and Peach is pacing around the cabin.

"We have to get her off this island as soon as possible. I hate her; she's caused too much damage!" Peach quietly said with anger in her voice.

"Okay, something obviously happened last night. Did Pauline make you angry because of the diamond earrings or something like that?" Mona asked.

"No, I actually forgot about the diamond earrings… but that's not what I hate her for—even though I already disliked her before… this heifer kissed Mario and I think they're dating and Mario doesn't have a choice. She's toying with my emotions, she knows we're on to something, and now she's getting back at me."

"Well, we have to be extremely sneaky…" Mona comments as Goombella walks in. Mona then winks and walks out of the cabin.

"Peach, like, you look, like, so totally angry. What's wrong?" Goombella asks as Peach tries to stomp out of the room.

"Jealousy!" Peach replies as she stomps out of the room.


In the guy's cabin, Dry Bones stares at his phone and sighs. He places it on his bed and Koops walks in. Koops has a wide grin on his face as he grabbed his toothbrush off the counter and Dry Bones stands up and examines Koops.

"What's got you so happy?" He asks.

"Uh… I don't know what you're talking about." Koops replies as he attempts to walk out of the cabin, but Dry Bones prevents him from doing so.

"What are you hiding?" Dry Bones asks the yellow koopa.

"I'm, um, just happy because I got to play soccer today, I guess… I wanted to, uh, play soccer for a while now." Koops replies and then he looks out of his door at Toadette and then he immediately glances back at Dry Bones.

"Whoa. Are you crushing on Toadette?" Dry Bones asks.

Koops looks down, unsure of how to respond. "Uh, yeah, but I have a girlfriend and she has Prince Mush, so I'm just gonna keep my hands off."

"Well, let me tell you something mister! The only reason Toadette and Prince Mush are together is because Janette pushed them together, She formed a friendship with Prince Mush early in the season and tried to force Toadette to date him. They literally have NOTHING in common, and it would be very easy to make Toadette realize she doesn't love him. I don't hate Prince Mush, but the dude's pussy whipped for a girl that's not even in to him like that. So, I don't condone you cheating on your girlfriend or anything, but I think you're probably the best fit for Toadette." Dry Bones says while spiders crawl out of his mouth.

"Uh… so if I were to break up with Koopie Koo?" Koops replied with more confidence than he ever had in his life.

"Dude, I'd say you could get Toadette." Dry Bones nods in assurance. "And I suppose Prince Mush could hook up with Birdo, the girl he's supposed to be with."

Prince Mush and Shy Guy walk into the room, and when they do Dry Bones and Koops both stop talking. Prince Mush sits on his bed and grabs a dumbbell and begins lifting it. Shy Guy sits down on his bed and starts laughing loudly for no reason which frightens the other guys in the cabin.

"My toes look funny… and toes sounds like toast… hehehe…" Shy Guy laughs. "My weed today was extra good."

"Hm, I'm just not seeing results in my left arm." Prince Mush complains as he squeezes his left arm hoping to feel a muscle of some sort. "I'm gonna go ask Birdo what I'm doing wrong." Prince Mush gets up and leaves.

Shy Guy rolls off his bed onto the floor and laughs. "My back is probably broken but hehehe… there's a cockroach on the ceiling."

"Um, Shy Guy are you alright. Usually you can handle your weed." Koops asks in deep concern of his fellow teammate.

"Never been better… eh… or have I? HAVE I? I don't know. Maybe I have felt better, in my dreams. What if we die while we're sleeping every night, and dreams are what heaven or hell is?" Shy Guy responds.

"So, anyways, Koops, are you gonna ask her out?" Dry Bones asks, ignoring Shy Guy who is rolling around on the ground.

"I'm gonna break up with Koopie Koo over the phone first. Then I will." Koops smiled.

Shy Guy spread his arms and legs out while he is lying on the ground and says, "Hey look, guys, I'm a rug." Dry Bones walks across his stomach to be smart. He immediately stands back up to say, "Never mind I don't wanna be a rug any more, I feel too down to earth." Shy Guy cackles until Donkey Kong's voice on the intercom interrupts it.

"Good morning campers, I'm TRUSTING that you all had a good night's rest and I TRUST that you are all ready for today's challenge, it will be a fun one. Please meet me in the mess hall so I can explain your awesome challenge." Donkey Kong announces.


The thirteen remaining campers are all in the main lodge. Donkey Kong walks inside with a blindfold in his hand.

"Hello campers. It's certainly been a while since I've hosted a challenge, but I'm back. So first off, I would like to say congratulations to all thirteen of you, because you have all made it to the halfway point of the competition." Donkey Kong claps and all the campers joining him. "So, as for today's challenge, it's all about trust. We've saw a lack of trust among both teams in the past few challenges. Okay, for the first challenge, I need two volunteers from both teams."

The Fat Fireflowers all look at each other and Toadette raises her hand. "I'll volunteer."

Pauline and Peach both raise their hands at the same time and Donkey Kong pulls them both forward, along with Toadette.

"Wait, I changed my mind…" Peach says.

"Too bad. Now, I need one more volunteer from the Fat Fireflowers." Donkey Kong announces and Koops steps forward and stands next to Toadette.

"Okay, so Peach, Pauline, Koops, Toadette, follow me. As for the rest of you, Zess T will explain what you guys will be doing this challenge."


In Confessional

Peach – "What are the odds of me getting paired up with Pauline on the trust challenge? I knew I shouldn't have volunteered."


"Okay, out of Toadette and Koops, which one of you wants to be the leader, and which one of you wants to be the follower?" Donkey Kong asks.

"I'll, uh, be the follower. I trust Toadette." Koops announces.

"Okay, and out of Peach and Pauline, who's going to be the leader and follower?" Donkey Kong asks.

"I'm being the leader!" Pauline snaps before Peach could say anything.

"Okay, Toadette and Pauline, follow me. Koops and Pauline, stay put for a second." Donkey Kong instructs.

The host takes the two leaders into a room with a digital map of a maze that the followers are going to go through.

"Okay, Koops and Pauline will both be blindfolded and you guys will guide them through this maze and you all will be timed. The twist is that the people that didn't volunteer are going to chase after them. Oh yeah, the blindfolded victim will be on skates." Donkey Kong explains which causes Toadette and Pauline to gasp.

"This challenge sounds really hard." Pauline states.

"That's a long maze; there is no way we'll be able to do this…" Toadette says as she rubs her chin.

"Well, Toadette you're going first, the green light on the machine will represent Koops, the red lights will represent the hunters. You want Koops out of their path at all means possible because they'll have paint guns, and if they shoot him, it's over." Donkey Kong explains, then he hands Toadette a microphone headset. "Put this on, I'm going to go set Koops up and we can get started. Good luck."

"Uh, thanks?" Toadette replied.

The screen transitions to Donkey Kong and Koops at the maze and Koops is already blindfolded and has his skates on.

"I'm so scared!" Koops exclaims.

"Just listen to Toadette; she'll guide you, that is, if you trust her." Donkey Kong instructs.

"Okay, I trust her."


In Confessional

Donkey Kong – "I'm pretty sure both teams are gonna fail this challenge. It's definitely a tough one."

Goombella – "Like, we have to hunt the blindfolded person with paint guns, how am I supposed to hold the paint gun? Oh my god, like, the producers or, like, whoever came up with this challenge is, like, so insensitive."

Pauline – "Anyways, continuing with where I was at last challenge; it's time to justify myself even more. Starting with Peach, I'm not entirely sure why I added Peach in my alliance, because I don't trust her. I still think she's useful though, I'm planning to get her back from hitting me with that frying pan… but part of me wants to hold on to her, I'll wait until the merge because I'm done sabotaging my team. So I'm aiming at the other team currently."


"Koops, can you hear me?" Toadette says into the microphone as if she's a soldier.

"Toadette? I hear you!" Koops replies. "I can't see a thing. Where am I?"

"You're in a stone maze; it's like a hedge maze, but with walls made of stone. Listen to my every word; there are hunters after to you. So go straight, and I'll tell you when to turn." Toadette instructs.

"I'm on skates, so tell me early when I need to turn!" Koops exclaims as he continues to skate forward.

"Okay, turn right up ahead!" Toadette demands and Koops follows her instructions.

"Okay, time for the hunter to come inside the maze." Donkey Kong announces and five red lights on the screen Toadette is looking at appear to be running through the maze looking for Koops.

"Go left now!" Toadette yells because she notices a hunter is right near him. Koops follows her order. Soon after, Koops manages to get through half of the maze without a problem. Suddenly Toadette notices that two hunters are going up to where Koops is from different directions, and Koops will have nowhere to run.

"Koops! Hide in shell!" Toadette instructs.

"What? Why?" Koops asks.

"Just trust me!" Toadette pleads.

Koops follows Toadette's instructions and hides in his shell. Yoshi and Goombella walk up to him but Goombella doesn't notice the shell.

"Like, ohmigosh! I cannot, like, find him. Like it's like he's gone." Goombella complains. "Like, I was about to, like; shoot you because, like, I'm paranoid."

"I think he's down there." Yoshi stupidly relies as he points forward.

They run forward together and notice a figure in front of them. Then as they get closer they begin shooting their paint guns frantically, but to their surprise, they find out the figure was Mona and not Koops.

"Koops, they're gone. Get back up and skate in the direction you were going as fast as possible!" Toadette screams.

Koops skates forward as fast as he can then he turns left, while listening to Toadette's demands. Then Boo notices him and chases after him. He shoots his paint gun and Koops ducks at the noise of the gun, and Boo misses.

"Ugh. I will get you!" Boo shouts.

Koops continues skating, while dodging Boo's shots which he hears perfectly. Eventually he reaches the end of the maze which leads to the room Toadette is in. Koops opens the door by feeling the door knob. He opens the door and walks inside the room and Toadette runs to Koops, but Koops crashes into wall and falls to the ground. Toadette helps him up and takes off his blindfold.

"Koops you were awesome!" Toadette cheers as she hugged him.

"I would've never got through it without your quick wits and directions. I wouldn't even have thought of hiding in my shell." Koops admits.

Donkey Kong walks in and claps. "Congratulations Koops and Toadette, I'm actually shocked you guys did it. So anyways, Pauline, it's your turn." Donkey Kong throws a headset to Pauline who doesn't catch it and it hits her face.

"Where were you aiming when you threw that?" Pauline replies in an acerbic tone.


In Confessional

Donkey Kong – "They actually… completed the challenge, I'm literally in shock. This challenge is made for failure. How?!"

Pauline – "After watching Toadette complete the challenge I realize she is a tough competitor. I've been focusing so much on my team; I never even take notes on the other team. I'm glad I sabotaged her last challenge, this time I want to mess with her mind though." /laughs vindictively as a bee that was flying around the bathroom lands on her nose/ "…uh"

Peach – "I'm not the best skater… so if we lose this challenge I can't blame it all on Pauline…"


Peach is at the start of the maze. She's already blindfolded and on her skates. She holds onto the wall hoping she won't fall over.

"Peach, can you hear me?" Pauline

"Yes… I hear you… uh, Pauline I can't skate very well, just letting you know ahead of time." Peach confesses.

"Ugh. That's fine, start the maze by turning right." Pauline says trying to take a different path than Toadette lead Koops.

"Okay." Peach responds as she turns right while hanging onto the wall for her dear life. She almost slips and falls.

"Peach, I heard that! You almost fell, bend your knees and lean forward while you skate. Be careful… take your time…" Pauline commands. "And turn right!"

Peach follows Pauline's orders and bends her knees. She crashes into the wall instead of turning right. "Ow." Peach falls on the ground and then stands up and starts skating the way she came from.

"No, turn back around! You're going backwards, you missed your turn!" Pauline shouts into the microphone. Then she notices the red dots appearing on the screen coming from all directions. Peach finally turns right and starts heading up the path.

"Oh my god, this is like a video game." Shy Guy yells loudly as Prince Mush puts his hand on his own mouth to tell Shy Guy to shut up.

"Now Peach probably knows where we are. We have to sneak up on her or at least ambush her…" Prince Mush tells Shy Guy.

"Oh, yeah… hehehe." Shy Guy replies.

Peach continues skating, unsure of where she's going. Pauline tries to guide her but Peach stops listening and tries to go her own way even though she can't see. She crashes into a wall and then Birdo notices her. Birdo runs up to her and tackles her down. She shoots her with the paint gun, Shy Guy, Dry Bones, and Prince Mush all run up to her and shoot her with the paintball gun. Eventually Peach removes her blindfold and takes off her skates. She stands up and snatches Dry Bones' paintball gun and shoots all four of them.

"Zess T go do something break them up!" Donkey Kong says into a walkie talkie.

"Copy that." Zess T replies back. She runs through the maze and rakes out a small circular object. She switches the object to on, throws it at the five of them, and runs away as quickly as possible. All of a sudden the object explodes dark purple paint that gets all over them. Peach screams because pain is all in her hair. Birdo Continues shooting her paintball gun until Zess T walks up to her and snatches it away. Then Prince Mush looks at Peach and they both grin and begin shooting Zess T with the paintball gun.

"You guys are so dead!" Zess T shouts as she starts shooting back with the paintball gun she snatched from Birdo.


In Confessional

Zess T – "They shot me with paintballs, normally I'd kill them for what they did, but eh, it's cool because at least I got to shoot back…" /laughs/

Pauline – "Peach didn't listen to a word I said, and she got herself caught! Either she doesn't trust me, or she was blatantly trying to lose. I'm the only girl that does that around here. Something is up, and I WILL get to the bottom of it! Uh… anyways, I think I know how I'm going to mess with Toadette…" /grins/

Peach – "Ugh… I got paint all over me. And the worst part of it is, most of the paint on me is purple… I HATE purple." /cries/


Pauline is behind a cabin talking to a Duplighost under a gray sheet. The Duplighost transforms into Prince Mush.

"Wow, you look just like him." Pauline says with a nod.

"It's what I do." The Duplighost replies. "Where's my twenty bucks?" Pauline hands him his money. "Okay, so I just kiss you, and then break up with this chick. Seems simple enough."

"Who knew an intern could be so useful?" Pauline replies with a wide grin. "First tell her you need to talk to her as soon as possible, I'll get rid of the real Prince Mush for a little while to buy you some time."

"Okay, I can do that." The Prince Mush copy nods.

Pauline grabs Yoshi and Mario and pulls them close to her. They both look at her then at each other in confusion.

"Mario, Yoshi, how good are you two at… kidnapping?" Pauline asks them. They both still look at each other for a few seconds then turn back to Pauline and nod confidently. "Excellent…"


The screen transitions into the washroom where Prince Mush is taking a shower. He's singing loudly in the shower when Yoshi sneaks inside with a rope in his left hand and duct tape in his right hand.

"Psst. Yoshi why a are you a sneaking around? It's not a like he can a see you." Mario tells Yoshi.

"Shut up. I'm trying to pretend I'm in one of those spy movies." Yoshi whispers back.

"I gotta wash this paint out muh face, out muh face, out muh face. Gotta wash this paint out muh face, out muh face, out muh gorgeous face!" Prince Mush sings loudly. Yoshi and Mario are shocked that he can actually sing. The wrestler wraps the bottom half of his body with a towel and steps out of the shower. He immediately notices Yoshi giving him a very sinister glare.

"Hehehe…" Yoshi laughs under his breath.

"Hey… Yoshi, what's the duct tape and rope for?" Prince Mush asks as he slowly backs away from Yoshi in fear. Yoshi tackles Prince Mush and puts the duct tape over his mouth immediately. Then Yoshi ties rope around his wrists, elbows, knees and ankles to make sure he can't move at all.

"Help me grab him!" Yoshi instructs.

"You're a not a going to put a clothes on him first?" Mario asks as he looks at Prince Mush who only has a towel around him.

Yoshi hands Mario a pair of boxers. "Are YOU going to put boxers on him?"

Mario shakes his head. "Never mind, where a did a Pauline want us a to a put him?"

Yoshi rubs his chin and then says, "I know a place."


The screen shifts over to Yoshi and Mario taking Prince Mush over to a waterfall that is somehow shaped like a heart. It is the waterfall Janette told Prince Mush about a while back. Yoshi throws Prince Mush into a cave near the waterfall where a bear is sitting watching TV while drinking a cup of lemonade. Prince Mush looks at the bear in fear. The bear just shrugs and continues watching TV.

"Are you a sure no one will a find him there?" Mario asks Yoshi.

Yoshi nods. "Whenever I got lost in the woods I went in the cave and no one found me… until one of the producers lead me back to camp… then I kept coming back for some reason…"

"Uh… that's a weird…" Mario responds back.

"So what's up with you and Pauline lately? You like Peach!" Yoshi says to Mario.

"Well… she a said she a liked me and then I a guess I a don't have a choice. But it's alright, I mean a Pauline is a cute and her a hair a smells sooo good." Mario replies.

Yoshi changes the voice on his translator to that of a drill sergeant. "NO! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DATE PEACH THIS IS ALL WRONG! YOU BREAK UP WITH PAULINE THIS INSTANT AND THEN ASK PEACH OUT!"


Pauline and the Duplighost are sitting in front of the Fat Fireflowers cabin. The Duplighost, who still looks like Prince Mush, is pretending to flirt with Pauline. Pauline is trying to act just like the victim, so she's not hated and so Mario doesn't break up with her. The Duplighost starts playing with Pauline's hair as Toadette walks out of her cabin and notices them talking.

"Prince Mush, what are you doing?" Pauline says as she backs away from the Duplighost. The Duplighost grabs her and pulls her closer to him. "Prince Mush STAHP!"

"Pauline I've watched you for some time now, and you have the most beautiful eyes." The Prince Mush copy pulls Pauline's face closer to him. "And you have nice kissable lips…" He forcefully kisses Pauline and then Pauline pulls herself away.

"I have a boyfriend you dog. And aren't you supposed to be dating Toadette!" Pauline exclaims as she stands up and purposely looks at Toadette who's just standing there in shock. "I hope you know you're dating a player!" She stomps away and grins when she's at a good enough distance from the drama.

"Prince Mush… what was that?" Toadette asks in shock, she's unsure about how she's supposed to respond.

"Toadette, I'm not into you anymore. We're over!" The Duplighost stands up to walk away. Toadette tries to walk after him but he says, "Just stop. I don't want you anymore. Just leave me alone!"

"What?" Toadette replies.


In Confessional

Toadette – "Well, somehow it happened again. Just when I thought I found a nice guy… this happens… but I refuse to cry because of this. I'm strong and I'm not going to let my emotions get me eliminated from this competition. I just would like to know… what's wrong with me?"

Pauline – "Hm, I love this game." /laughs evilly/ "That intern was such a great actor, he should really consider acting."


Toadette walks into her room and sits on her bed. Suddenly it starts raining outside and then thunder is heard. Birdo walks into the room and immediately notices Toadette looking down. Birdo sits down next to Toadette and tries to comfort her.

"Aw, Toadette, tell mama what's wrong." She says.

"I saw Prince Mush kiss Pauline… and then he broke up with me… it's all so sudden..." Toadette replies.

Birdo angrily stands up. "He did? Oh I will kill him!"

"No… no, that won't solve anything. I'm just going to ignore him I guess… it just seemed so unlike him." Toadette responds.

"Well, tell me when you want me to beep him up because I will!" Birdo shouts and nods.

Toadette smiles. "Thanks Birdo. She stands up and walks outside into the storm. She walks down the dock alone and sits down on the edge of it.

"Ugh. That makes me so angry!" Birdo shouts while Dry Bones walks into the room because he's curious as to what's going on. "I know you're there Dry Bones!"

"Janette must be rubbing off on me, because I MUST know what's going on. Why are you so heated?" He asks.

"Well I saw Toadette was feeling down. She wasn't crying or anything but sensed she was sad because I'm still a girl underneath all these muscles. She told me Prince Mush kissed Pauline then broke up with Toadette. Ugh. That makes me so angry; I want to kill Prince Mush AND Pauline."

"…what? I mean I didn't think they'd last, but it's unlike Prince Mush to kiss… Pauline. He seemed like he was obsessed with Toadette…" Dry Bones rubs his chin as Koops walks inside the cabin, while holding a large umbrella and looking confused. He looks at Birdo and Dry Bones.

"Hey, do you guys know where Toadette went?" Koops asks as he shuts the umbrella.

"She's down the dock!" Birdo snaps in annoyance. "I wouldn't mess with her though. She just had her heart broken."

"What? How? Koops asks in shock.

"Prince Mush apparently kissed Pauline and then broke up with Toadette… even though I don't recall them ever becoming 'official' so I don't see why this is a big deal. Anyways, Koops, now's your chance!" Dry Bones announces.

Koops opens his umbrella and runs outside and gets struck by lightning. He doesn't let that stop him and continues running down the dock of shame. He slips and falls and ends up sliding down the dock, passes Toadette, and lands in the lake. He climbs back onto the dock and smiles at Toadette who just looks at him in shock.


Meanwhile Yoshi finally unties Prince Mush.

"Why did you tie me up?" Prince Mush asks.

"Um… because I wanted to." Yoshi replies and then laughs. Prince Mush gets up and runs back to the camp in fear.


Koops is trying to comfort Toadette.

"Hey, Toadette, Birdo told me what happened… I'm shocked." Koops replies as he holds his umbrella over Toadette to keep her dry over himself.

"I don't need the umbrella… I'm already soaked…" Toadette replies as she looks down into the water.

"You know what? I forget Prince Mush, he is a fool to let go of an amazing girl like you. You are beautiful and kind! Any guy would be lucky to have you!" Koops shouts to Toadette.

"Koops, you're so sweet." Toadette replies as she looks at Koops, and now she can see that Koops has a crush on her. "…no… I'm not going to let you be a rebound, or anything. Plus you have a girlfriend!" She tries to standup but Koops' sigh makes her sit back down.


Meanwhile, Prince Mush runs into his cabin and changes into an outfit as quickly as possible while Shy Guy is examining his weed.

"Dude, I think someone put something in my weed… I'm feeling different." Shy Guy says as he inhales the smoke from his bong.

"Uh… where's Dry Bones and Koops?" Prince Mush asks. "And did the next challenge start yet?"

Shy Guy shakes his head. "I think they're in the girl's cabin. Hehe."

Prince Mush leaves the cabin and Shy Guy follows behind him because he is bored. Prince Mush walks into the other cabin.

"YOU!" Birdo yells as she stomps over to Prince Mush.

"Oh… she's talking to you… heh heh usually she's talking to me because she hates me." Shy Guy laughs.

"Why the heck would you do that to Toadette! You're lucky I don't hurt you! " Birdo yells at a confused Prince Mush.

"Wait, what did I do?" Prince Mush asks in confusion.

"You know what you did, you cheater and heartless… um… I can't think of a meaner word to use so I'm just going to stare at you condescendingly!" Birdo yells and then stares at him.

"Wait. What did I miss?" Shy Guy asks as he looks around at everyone's faces.

"Guys I was tied-" Prince Mush says.

Birdo cuts Prince Mush off before he can justify himself. "Prince Mush cheated on Toadette with Pauline or something like that. And then he broke up with Toadette and proved he's a heartless dou-"

"Wait… what? I never did that!" Prince Mush replies.

"Liar!" Birdo screams at Prince Mush.

"What? Dude why would you do that? Now I should give some Toadette some weed so she won't go crazy after the breakup!"

"…where's Toadette?" Prince Mush asks tired of receiving false accusations on something he didn't do.

"She's down by the dock talking to Koops…" Dry Bones replies. Prince Mush runs out of the cabin as fast as he can.

"Toadette, I, uh, really like you… I've tried denying these feeling, um, especially because of Koopie Koo… and Janette and Prince Mush scared me from liking you…" Koops confesses to Toadette.

"Um…" Toadette is about to say something but Koops pulls Toadette close to him and kisses her while the rain is pouring down. Prince Mush reaches the end of the dock and notices them kissing. He runs down to them and pushes Koops into the lake with all his strength and anger. Toadette just looks at Prince Mush in confusion.

"Get out of here!" Prince Mush yells to Koops when he climbs out of the lake. Koops runs away in fear before saying anything else. "Toadette, can we talk?"

Toadette looks away. "Talk."

"What happened, what you saw, that wasn't me!" Prince Mush justifies.

"Prince Mush, I want to believe it wasn't you, but it was, I mean he sounded like you and even looked like you… and now you're trying to find a way to get me back. You're so confusing…" Toadette responds as she gets up.

"Why won't you believe me?" Prince Mush asks her as she starts walking away. She turns back around and looks at him.

"I really wish I could, Prince Mush, I really wish I could…" She replies then turns around and heads back to her cabin.

"Attention campers, please report to the kitchen for the next part of today's challenge!" Donkey Kong announces.


The next scene, all the campers are inside the main lodge.

"Alright I need two different volunteers for this challenge from both teams. Oh yeah and the score right now is Fat Fireflowers have two, and Poison Mushrooms have zero." Donkey Kong tells the campers.

"Like ohmigosh me and Yoshi volunteer!" Goombella says as she bites Yoshi's tail and drags him over to Donkey Kong.

"Thanks for volunteering me!" Yoshi squeals.

"Okay, who from the Fat Fireflowers wants to volunteer for the cooking challenge?" Donkey Kong looks at everyone on the team.

Shy Guy raises his hand and sings, "Do, re, MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"Okay, who else wants to be part of this challenge?" Donkey Kong asks.

Prince Mush steps forward and says, "I guess, I'll do it."

"Okay, follow me into the kitchen. The rest of you can sit back for a little while, but you all are still part of this challenge. Don't forget that! You guys actually play an important role in this challenge!"

Yoshi, Goombella, Prince Mush, and Shy Guy are all standing in kitchen with six large mushrooms in front of them.

"Okay, this challenge is a tough one. In front of you have six mushrooms in front you. Two of the mushrooms are perfectly fine and actually healthy. Two of them are mildly poisonous, and two of them are severely poisonous. On the wall to Goombella's left, you see a large bookshelf which are all books on mushrooms, for your challenge you all must first classify these six mushrooms based off the books."

"Wait… like, why do we have to, like, classify them? Like we already know they're mushrooms…" Goombella asks as Donkey Kong slaps his forehead.

"Annyways… after you think you find a mushroom that's not poisonous, you'll use that mushroom and make shroom fry. The hardest part is figuring out which mushroom is bad, and I'm pretty sure it will get twice as hard once one team settles on a mushroom, because the other one will be twice as stressed. You all have two hours… good luck."


In Confessional

Goombella – Like ohmigosh, it's, like, totally unfair because the other team has Prince Mush, he's, like, a mushroom, obviously he knows mushrooms…"

Yoshi – "RAWRRRRR!" /licks hand/

Shy Guy – "I thought we were just going to cook for this challenge… ugh, I'm relying mostly on Prince Mush on choosing the right mushroom, I mean he should know this, right? I mean why can't we just take our chances and pick a mushroom and hope for the best? Besides the fact that is could kill people…no biggie."


The other campers are sitting in the mess hall and all are already bored. Donkey Kong walks in and explains what the other four campers have to do.

"That challenge seems tough." Mona comments.

"Wait if they're cooking does that mean…" Boo asks before Donkey Kong cuts him off.

"Yes! Thanks Boo for leading me to what I was planning to say next. You all will eat one bite of their shroom fry! If you choose to do it, you win a point for your team, because you trust them. If you don't, you don't get the point. Simple as that." Donkey Kong explains.

"Thank god I'm already a ghost!" Boo feels relieved. "I can eat whatever they got as long as it doesn't give me diarrhea. Because I just had that last night and it was awful, I couldn't make it to the bathroom so…"

"And let the story end there." Mona comments with a laugh.

"So we're just supposed to sit here for two hours? How boring…" Dry Bones states.

"Not really. There's nine of you, you guys just have some formal conversations with each other, I'm pretty sure you'll find something interesting to talk about." Donkey Kong states with a wide grin. And he walks out of the room.

"Uh, so what do we talk about?" Peach asks.

"Pauline, was that really Prince Mush that kissed you? Can you describe it? Sorry, but I'm ripping the bandage right off." Dry Bones states.

"Yes it was Prince Mush, who else would it be? It's only US on the island. This wasn't the first time he flirted with me though… it happened various times before. I tried to ignore it, but he finally took it too far." Pauline lies.

"Wow he's such a jerk." Peach comments as she takes out a piece of gum, put it in her mouth, and starts chewing like a cow.

"But Prince Mush was obsessed with Toadette, creepily obsessed. Something just doesn't add up here." Dry Bones says.

"What doesn't add up? He kissed me! It's on the cameras; you guys can watch it yourselves in a few weeks!" Pauline says with passion in her voice to make it seem more realistic.

"Ugh, this entire situation just makes me so angry!" Birdo shouts.

"This information just kills me!" Boo laughs to himself, shocked that no one else understood his joke. "…because I'm a ghost…"

"Anyways… to change the subject, let's talk about something juicy." Peach says.


Yoshi and Goombella are flipping through books and they are freaking out because they can't find any information on mushrooms. Prince Mush and Shy Guy find useful information because it has a picture that looks just like the six mushrooms on the table.

"Okay, it says this mushroom smells just like an onion and it's moderately poisonous… so let's find the one that smells like onions." Shy Guy whispers to. Prince Mush.

"Uh… what do onions smell like?" Prince Mush asks.

"I don't know, like onions? It'll be the one that makes us cry!" Shy Guy replies.

"Okay, like, this book, like, says that any mushroom with hair under the cap, like, is poisonous. Yoshi, like, you should, like, so totally check under the caps of the mushrooms for hair. " Goombella tells Yoshi.

"Okay." Yoshi replies and runs to the mushrooms and finds one with hair on it which is the one on the far right. "Eliminate the one on the far right."

Prince Mush smells all of the mushrooms and grabs two of them that smell like onions. Prince Mush puts one back and holds on to the other.

"Okay, Shy Guy this one is only moderately poisonous according to this book and it smells like onions because I'm tearing up."

"Are you that's not because Toadette kissed Koops?" Shy Guy asked with a giggle.

"How do you know about that?" Prince Mush asks in shock.

"I don't know. I guess my weed gave me a supernatural sense of some kind where as I know stuff before people tell me stuff…" Shy Guy replies. "I'm so putting weed in our shroom fry just to be funny."

"Okay, Shy Guy, this says that good mushrooms should have a strong exotic taste… so are we gonna try these shrooms?" Prince Mush says.

"Man, I'm already tripping on some shrooms." Shy Guy replies. Prince Mush slaps his forehead.


The other nine campers are continuing a conversation that started off camera.

"Oh my goodness, Mona, I can't believe you haven't done that yet. Y'know since you got the breast implants I thought you were more than ready for something like that." Peach laughs.

"My boobs are NOT fake! These boobs are the exact boobs God gave me." Mona states.

"Yeah… if God blessed you with silicon…" Boo comments and laughs.

"Someone is going to hell…" Birdo comments which causes everyone to laugh even more.

"So, Birdo, are you lesbian? I've been wondering that since the first day I met you—I mean you act like one but I don't know?" Peach asks.

"Whoa. Are you flirting with Birdo?" Boo asks.

"Why do so many people think that? I'm not lesbian, but I do think some girls are hot though, so hot that I'd get a strap on and just do them and- uh, anyways… I'm in no way lesbian." Birdo says and now everyone at the table is looking at her with blank expressions.

"I a do not a believe a you!" Mario says with a laugh.

"What, girls, you can't say you haven't thought another girl was sexy before? Come on I can't be the only one." Birdo laughs.

Mona nods. "Well I have but I don't take it as far as you do!"

"Whatever." Birdo replies with a laugh.

"Yeah, whatever. That's all you have to say." Pauline says with a laugh. "I feel like I'm high for some reason I can't stop laughing."


In Confessional

Mario – "The conversations the nine of us a had a makes everyone forget that a we are a still a on a camera. Everything that was a said might a air on national TV for a the world to see. And I a sat there and talked about a how I wet the bed until I was a eleven to a those crazy people. And a… dang I just a repeated it…"

Boo – "Sitting in the mess hall talking to everyone was fun and relaxing. It got my mind off things, I played my banjo a bit, we all pretty much got to lay back and have a good time."

Birdo – "Okay, I am NOT lesbian…" /rubs arm with apprehension. A fly flies in her snout and she doesn't spit it out/ "Just because I think a certain way about girls doesn't make me lesbian, and just because I like lifting weights doesn't mean I like girls…" /Three more flies fly into her snout/ "Wow it's like a feast in here! Yum!"


In the kitchen time is running out. There are only ten minutes left and both pairs failed to find any new information that would help them decipher which of the remaining mushrooms were good or bad aside from the information they found earlier. Shy Guy already tasted all five of the mushrooms on the table and failed to find one with a strong exotic taste. So they ended up wasting all their time flipping through many books with no useful information.

"We're running out of time, I'd say we should just take our chances and go with the moderately poisonous one. I mean it's only moderately poisonous. At least we know it's not severe." Prince Mush tells Shy Guy.

"But we know for a fact that it's poisonous…" Shy Guy replies.

"But what if we pick another mushroom and it ends up being more poisonous. Like I said before we should take our chances with this." The wrestling Toad states.

"Fine. But if they all die, I'm blaming it all on you!" Shy Guy informs Prince Mush who just laughs.

"That's fine."

Goombella and Yoshi also fail to find any other useful information except the fact that the mushroom with the hair is poisonous and the fact that Shy Guy and Prince Mush already picked their mushroom.

"Like okay, we have, like, ten minutes left, what are we going to do?" Goombella asks Yoshi.

Yoshi changes the voice on the translator to the voice of a game show host. "Umm… let's see we could just pick one of the four remaining mushrooms, cook it, and hope we get very lucky… or we could cook all four of the unknown mushrooms into shroom fry and whichever one smells the least weird is the one! So Goombella it's your choice, deal or no deal?"

"Deal! Er… no deal! Like whichever one is the one where we cook them all… if we're allowed to do that." Goombella responds.

"Okay! Let's turn them all into shroom fry! I'll cook up two mushrooms, you'll cook up two!" Yoshi says enthusiastically.

"Um?" Goombella looks down hinting that she has no arms or hands.

"…or I'll cook all four mushrooms and you just sit there and look pretty!" Yoshi tells Goombella who nods in agreement.

Seven minutes fly by and the four campers only have less than one minute left. Yoshi takes all four Shroom Fry's out and places them on the table.

"Goombella how much time do we have left?" Yoshi asks in fear.

"About 47 seconds…" Goombella replies.

Yoshi smells each and every shroom fry and realizes they all smell the same. "They all smell similar! Looks like I'm going to take one for the team. I'm going to try one of these… if I end up getting poisoned… don't use that one!" Yoshi takes a bite from one of the plates and waits three seconds just to find out it is not poisonous at all. Goombella and him cheer and throw away the other three versions they made. Then a timer goes off and Donkey Kong walks into the kitchen.

"Okay, time's up. Time to feed the other campers what you all got." Donkey Kong tells the four that are in the kitchen. Yoshi proudly carries his plate out of the kitchen, confident that it's not the poisonous one. Shy Guy carries the other plate out, feeling really afraid, because he knows that there is poison in it.

"For each member of your team that tries your dish, you get a point. They already know the challenge and know that it was a difficult one. So, Boo, take a bite of Yoshi and Goombella's shroom fry for the point. Boo takes a bite and shrugs.

"Eh… I'm already dead it wouldn't affect me…" Boo laughs.

"Okay, Dry Bones, are you going to try Prince Mush and Shy Guy's dish?" The host asks the bones.

Dry Bones nods and takes a bite. "It doesn't taste that bad… too bad I'll never know if it is legit poisonous or not… that is until the next person on my team tries it."

Mona refuses to try the shroom fry for her team. Toadette also refuses to eat the shroom fry and calls it cannibalism. Peach takes a bite out of the shroom fry for her team and slowly swallows it in fear. She smiles afterwards when she figures out that it wasn't poisonous. Koops doesn't try his team's shroom fry because he thinks it looks poisonous. Mario eats his team's shroom fry without a problem. Birdo eats the shroom fry but it ends up being poisonous and she turns green and falls to the ground.

"Thank goodness I didn't eat that!" Koops mumbles to himself as he watches Birdo choke while on the ground.

"I got this, I got this…" Zess T says as she grabs Birdo and drags her into the kitchen to perform CPR and make her feel better.

"Birdo still got a point for her team though… that's some real dedication right there. Anyways, Pauline you're the last one. Are you going to try it or are you going to chicken out?" The host asks the apathetic antagonist.

She takes a bite of the shroom fry and swallows it without an issue. Donkey Kong nods and smiles.

"Now the scores are all tied up. Both teams have four points! Do you all know what that means?" The host asks and everyone just shrugs. "It means it's time for a tiebreaker challenge! Follow me!"


The campers are all outside near an archery shooting range that some interns just set up for the challenge. Birdo is fine and normal now.

"Okay I need two volunteers that are exceptional at archery!" Donkey Kong announces.

Boo floats forward to represent the Poison Mushrooms. Birdo steps forward to represent the Fat Fireflowers.

"I got this guys. I know how to shoot like a pro!" Boo brags.

"Okay the rest of you put these blindfolds on…" Donkey Kong hands all the remaining campers a blindfolds and they all put the on in fear. "Okay, all you guys gotta do, is allow your teammate, either Boo or Birdo, to shoot an arrow at you. Hopefully they'll miss because that should be their intentions. Now all of you line up against that wall and I'll call you over to stand by the target one by one. Pauline you're up first!"

Pauline shrugs and an intern grabs her and stands her in front of the target.

"Okay, you guys aren't really doing anything for this challenge this is all fake… you guys get to sit here and laugh at everyone's reactions…" Donkey Kong whispers to Boo and Birdo.

"Aw, I wanted to test my archery skills…" Boo complains and looks down.

An Intern grabs a bag of arrows and sneaks up right next to where the target is.

"Okay, Pauline are you ready?" Donkey Kong shouts.

"Um… I'm not sure!" Pauline shouts back in fear.

"Oh… Pauline don't you trust me? I won't hit you!" Boo yells.

"Ugh… just get this over with!" Pauline demands in fear.

"He just shot the arrow, look at it fly!" Donkey Kong lies and the intern waits three seconds then jabs the arrow right next to where Pauline's head is causing her to scream and take off her blindfold.

"That was so close, oh my god!" Pauline starts taking deep breaths and runs over to Boo and Birdo.

An intern grabs Koops and takes him in front of the target. Koops takes a deep breath and then he says, "I'm, um, not sure about this… this is, uh, seriously putting my life in danger…"

"Oh come one! You don't trust Birdo?" Boo shouts and then laughs under his breath.

"I, uh, seriously think I'm about to have a panic attack. I'm sweating and feeling dizzy. I can't do this. I can't do this!" Koops shouts and steps away from the target in fear.

"Okay, Koops, take off your blindfold…" Donkey Kong tells the scared koopa.

He takes off his blindfold and walks over to Pauline and Koops.

"It was fake, you wimp!" Birdo whispers to Koops.

"How was I supposed to know that?" Koops asks Birdo.

The intern walks Mona in front of the target.

"Eh… I like winning and don't want to let my team down, so, hit me with your best shot!" Mona yells in confidence.

"But what if it messes up your boob job?" Boo asks and then laughs.

"Just shoot the arrow at me…" Mona replies and Boo makes a sound with a bow to make it sound like he shot it and the intern stabs the bow right next to Mona's chest. Mona screams loudly in fear and then rips off her blindfold. At this point Pauline realizes that it's fake and laughs.

"Donkey Kong this is probably your best challenge yet, laughing at all these people who are afraid of literally nothing. Oh my goodness… I can't deal!" Pauline tells the host. Donkey Kong tells her to be quiet so the other campers don't catch on.

Mona walks over to the place where Boo and Birdo are and looks around. She shrugs and watches as Toadette accepts the arrow to be thrown at her and then Mona realizes the whole thing is fake. Toadette screams very loudly when the intern jabs the arrow right in between her braids and her face. She takes a deep breath and walks over to the group.

"Alright, Goombella it's your turn." Donkey Kong announces. The intern walks her in front of the target and she begins shaking.

"Like, ohmigosh, this is, like, so scary. Usually I'm up for anything, but, like, this. I'm not suicidal!" Goombella frantically says.

"C'mon Goombella, just trust me!" Boo yells and Goombella shakes her head, which is also her body.

"No… I'm sorry Boo; I just don't trust you enough, like, to, like go through with this. Like the only person I would, like trust, on my team, is totally Yoshi. Everyone else might accidentally hit me!" Goombella shouts to Boo.

"What makes you think Yoshi won't hit you accidentally?" boo asks her in confusion.

"I don't know… but I still, like, trust him!" Goombella responds. "Anyways, like, can I take this blindfold off now? I'm totally not doing this!"

The intern near her removes her blindfold and Goombella skips over to the rest of the group that can see. Pauline tells Goombella that the whole thing was fake and Goombella gasps loudly.

"Like, now I feel like such an idiot…" Goombella sighed. "Like, I hope I don't, like, get eliminated for this. I was, like, literally scared for my life. I'm not ready to be a ghost like Boo! No offense."

"None taken." Boo replies with a laugh.


In Confessional

Yoshi – /dancing while singing/ "Do the Yoshi Shake, Yoshi Shake… hehehe."

Peach – "Yeah, I chickened out, I did not trust Boo whatsoever, he voted off Rosalina instead of Pauline… which is very irrelevant to this challenge, but STILL! Once you lose my trust, you never gain it back unless you make me cookies, but not the raisin kind; it's ironic that the word sin is in the word raisin because raisin cookies that look like chocolate chip cookies ARE a sin!"

Dry Bones – This challenge was probably the easiest challenge yet. I sensed it was fake from the beginning, no way Donkey Kong would let us die on national television…" /looks down at self/ "Oh wait… why do I care?"


Shy Guy is standing in front of the target with a blunt in his mouth. He takes a deep breath and says, "I'm ready, man; hit me with your best shot."

"I'm not a man!" Birdo shouts. I should aim for your heart because of that!"

"Stop, you might make him chicken out and we need all the points we can get." Koops tells Birdo.

The intern jabs the knife right near Shy Guy and he doesn't scream. He pulls off his blindfold and looks at the arrow. He laughs and then walks over the other campers that can see.

Yoshi is walked up to the target without any type of fear. He nods his head because he's prepared for anything that is thrown at him.

"Come on, I'm not afraid of nothing but the dark and teddy bears that terrorize cities!" Yoshi exclaims.

"Oh the grammar…" Boo comments on what Yoshi just said.

The intern stabs the arrow right near his head and Yoshi doesn't even flinch or scream.

"Is that the best you got?" Yoshi yells as he pulls off his blindfold. He runs over to the rest of the campers to celebrate.


In Confessional

Prince Mush – "I can't lie, I'm afraid of this challenge… I mean think about it, Birdo hates me for some reason and she probably wouldn't hesitate to try and hurt me… how am I supposed to trust someone that hates me?"


Prince Mush is walked up to the target and is shaking like crazy. He takes his blindfold off and throws it on the ground.

"I can't do this…" He tells his team. "Birdo hates me, so I don't trust her. Sorry team."

"You're not forgiven!" Birdo shouts as she crosses her arms.

"Okay and the score is tied, it's up to Mario to either break the tie or me leave me to decide who the losers of this challenge will be… eh hem… the Poison Mushrooms because they have more campers on their team!" Donkey Kong announces which causes all of Mario's team to start cheering him on.

"Okay a, let's, a, do this!" Mario announces with enthusiasm.

"That's the spirit!" Peach cheers.

"Oohh. Look how sharp that spear is, it looks like it could go right through your skull…" Birdo comments trying to scare Mario.

"Don't listen to her!" Peach shouts.

Mario just shrugs and the intern jabs the arrow right next to Mario and he screams in fear. Then he tears off his blindfold and runs to the group.

"Okay, awesome job Mario. Poison Mushroom, congrats you won today's challenge!" Donkey Kong announces which is followed by light cheers from the team. "Fat Fireflowers you guys must face yet ANOTHER elimination. Also, Poison Mushrooms, I want you guys at the bonfire at tonight's elimination ceremony tonight. I have surprising news for all of you!"


All the campers are sitting on tree stumps near the bonfire since there are exactly thirteen of them. All six of the Fat Fireflowers and Pauline are sitting in the front row.

"Fat Fireflowers, there are only FIVE mushrooms on this plate and there are thirteen of you sitting before me but only the six of you matter at the moment…" Donkey Kong laughs and everyone just looks at him questionably. "Um… anyways, you all cast your votes and made your decisions, the Fat Fireflower that does not receive a mushroom tonight, must walk the dock of shame, board the boat of loser, and leave the show for good. And they can't come back, EVER! So anyways, the first mushroom of the night goes to… Birdo"

Birdo gets up and grabs her mushroom and eats it confidently.

"Dry Bones and Shy Guy are also safe because they're chill and laid back, yo." Donkey Kong says and everyone gives him a weird glare again.

"Don't ever say that again." Boo tells Donkey Kong who sighs.

"Anyways, the next marshmallow goes to, miss I refuse to eat mushrooms because that's cannibalism even though it's really not because they are not the same type of mushrooms, Toadette."

Toadette stands up and looks back at Koops and Prince Mush who have yet to receive their mushrooms yet. She sighs knowing one of them will be eliminated.

Donkey Kong takes a dramatic pause and then he says, "Prince Mush and Koops, this is the final mushroom of the night… and it goes to…" Donkey Kong stops talking. "One second I gotta take a bathroom break." He walks away to uses the bathroom and returns six minutes later and then picks up the final mushroom and says, "…Koops, who managed to receive the final mushroom three times now…"

Koops sighs in relief as he grabs the final mushroom and then looks back at Prince Mush who is looking down.

"Well I guess this is goodbye everyone… I tried my best, and Birdo I'm sorry I couldn't trust you in the challenge earlier…" Price Mush sighs as he walks closer to Toadette. He walks slowly past her and then turns around and says, "You're not even gonna say goodbye?"

"Goodbye, Prince Mush." Toadette replies and then she immediately walks over to Pauline while Prince Mush slowly walks down the dock of shame.

"Pauline… what really happened?" Toadette asks in a forceful tone she never used before.

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth, I hired a Duplighost to transform into Prince Mush to cause conflict between you two which would split you guys up." Pauline grinned.

"What? Why would you do such a thing?" Toadette asks as Birdo cracked her knuckles because she's overhearing everything Pauline is saying.

"Because in the end, this is a competition, a reality show, unless you think like the bad guy, you're just going to crash and burn." Pauline tells Toadette as she flips her hair and sits back down.

Toadette dashes down the dock and reaches Prince Mush just as he makes his first step on the boat. She hugs him.

"You were telling the truth the whole time… I should've trusted you…" Toadette confesses as she tried not to cry but tears end up running down her cheeks.

"Toadette, I probably would've done the same thing you did if I saw the same thing, I don't know what Pauline did, but we shouldn't let that tear us apart." Prince Mush says, "I will cheer for you to win until the end of this show. I know you can do it, you have the charisma."

"Prince Mush… I voted you off… I'm so sorry… maybe I'm the bad guy…" Toadette states as Prince Mush holds her tightly.

"You're not the bad guy, Pauline just manipulated you… But you're gonna get her back not only for you, but for us."

"I love you Prince Mush…" Toadette tells him. "Even if we are totally different…"

"I love you too Toadette!" Prince Mush yells as the boat drifts away. He continues waving to Toadette until she's too far away from him. Toadette heads back to her tree stump and sits down in sadness. Right now, she feels like the biggest idiot in the entire competition.

"Okay, guys it's time for the big news. First and foremost, let me say tonight will be the last night you guy go to sleep as teams. Tomorrow morning teams will officially be merged and you'll all have to fend for yourselves. The remaining girls will take over the Poison Mushrooms cabin, and the remaining guys will move to the Fat Fireflowers' cabins. But the biggest surprise of all is that we have a new camper joining the show today!" Donkey Kong announces when Boo cuts him off.

"Wait. We worked our butts off to dodge eliminations all these weeks and some lucky camper gets a free pass to make halfway into the season. That's unfair!"

"Well, she was supposed to be on the show originally and I'm not going to get into details about that, let's she say she filed a lawsuit against us for something else, and now she's here. If you truly think it's unfair, well why don't you all agree to vote her off the first chance you get?" The ape explains as a large white boat reaches the dock.

Koops' heart drops when he sees the girl the on the boat. It was no one other than his girlfriend, or should he say, ex-girlfriend, Koopie Koo. Koops almost has a panic attack when she steps off the boat. The beautiful koopa took her blonde hair out of a ponytail and moved it around. She's wearing tight blue booty shorts, a black tank top, and big white shoes. She rubs her bright skin for a second as she takes her first few steps onto the dock.

"KOOPS!" She yells as she ran to the shy koopa and hugs him tightly. "Words can't describe how much I missed you!"

"Uh… hey Koopie Koo, did you get my text I sent earlier?" Koops asks referring to a breakup text he sent her earlier in the day.

"Oh no, my phone broke last week… I never got around to getting a new one, and I tried to contact you on Facebutt, but you're never online… but none of that matters as long as we're together again." Koopie Koo hugs Koops again. "Words can't describe how much I love you and missed you!"

Koops takes a deep breath. "Uh… Koopie Koo, we need to talk…"

"Aw, sweetie of course we can talk, right after I take my things to my cabin and unpack!" Koopie Koo replies with enthusiasm. Koopie Koo walks towards the Poison Mushroom's cabin where Donkey Kong guides her and Shy Guy and Boo go up to Koops in shock.

"Dang broski, you didn't tell me your girlfriend was that hot." Shy Guy says as he looks at her tail while she's walking away. "Look at that tail, that's a sexy, nice, big, round, tail right there. I'd like to smoke weed with her."

"Yeah, I'm not into koopas but she's really cute. I'm pleasantly surprised Koops!" Boo tells Koops.

"I'm going to help her unpack!" Shy Guy announces as he gets up and runs after her.


In Confessional

Koopie Koo – "Ahh, my first confessional… I'm so glad to be here with Koops, I was so sure he would've been eliminated by now but he toughed it because he's my baby."


Shy Guy helps Koopie Koo unpack her suitcases and he smells every piece of underwear he comes across.

"So, why is a girl like you, like a guy like Koops?" Shy Guy asks in pure curiosity.

"I like Koops." Koopie Koo replies with a smile.

"But he doesn't even like you back and I mean he kissed another girl for heaven's sake." Shy Guy blurts out and then covers his mouth because he realized he said too much.

"He what? Who'd he kiss?" Koopie Koo asks in pure rage.

"Go talk to him about it! I'm just a victim!" Shy Guy runs out of the cabin in fear.

Koopie Koo stomps out of her cabin. Koops and Birdo are talking near the bonfire.

"Her phone broke, maybe that's fate's way of telling you, that you two are meant to be together!" Birdo tells Koops.

"I know, I know, but everything is so… complicated." Koops responded.

"Well, if you're still gonna try to go after Toadette; you might as well give up now, because that ship has sailed, literally." Birdo says.

Koops sighs. "I just wish I knew exactly what I wanted…" Koopie Koo notices them talking and she crosses her arms. Her eyes travel to Koops whose eyes widen in what she thinks is interest in Birdo. Then her eyes travel to Birdo who she takes to be the girl Koops' kissed. She shakes her head and the screen fades out.

Prince Mush's Audition

"Hey producer people, I'm Prince Mush and I'm a wrestler, for my audition I'm going to tackle my mom while she brings in the groceries. My mom will probably kill me for this, but this is all for your show!" The enthusiastic Toad announces.

His mom walks through the front door holding a large amount of groceries in her hands. "You can't help bring in groceries Mush? You're so lazy!"

Prince Mush tackles his mother on the floor causing all the groceries in her hands to fall all over the ground. She picks up a large baguette and beats Prince Mush with it as hard as possible.

"Ow, mama, I'm sorry!" He says as he continues to get beat. "Ow, dude, turn the camera off!"

The camera shuts off.


A/N

6/28 – I finished this chapter in less than a week, I'm so proud of myself, even if I am lacking sleep because of it. Writer's block :K I hate it, it's the reason for the long wait, writers block and exams. :K

- Anyways, this chapter is what I like to call a "drama" chapter where there's a superfluous amount of drama in one chapter. I'm sad I had to let go of Prince Mush, but I promised myself that most relationships would have at least one member of the relationship gone before the merge. I used this chapter to really develop all of the Fat Fireflowers a bit more, because the past few episodes the Poison Mushrooms had more than enough screen time.

- I was planning for Koopie Koo to enter the competition and some reviewer actually suggested something similar to what I was planning. And shout out to that reviewer that suggested that, I'm too lazy to go through the reviews and find you, but you know who you are… I hope.

-Also, for the first time ever, the girls now outnumber the guys! (6 guys, 7 girls) Thanks Kaiimi for pointing that out, I didn't even notice that the guys were dominating the competition. Girls should really be stepping it up.

- Lastly, thanks so much for the reviews, favorites, and follows. They are what gave me the motivation to continue this story! The poll on my lookup, please do it if you haven't already, it will be switched with the guy's version next chapter.

-ToadettexKoops are probably not canon in this story. So... yeah...

- Characters I want to hear opinions about: Toadette and Miss Queen of Evil herself, Pauline. Please rant about Pauline as much as you want, please do. :D Just give me your opinions on them etc. And if you can, please leave a review so I know people are reading this. It's much appreciated.
