Author's Note: First of all I want to thank all those of you who reviewed, favourited exc. You have no idea how much it means to me to get such a good response and for the first chapter! Like I said in chapter 1 this is my very first Total Drama Series story so you can imagine how happy I am at the good response. Now, I'd like to explain something I've started to do in one of my stories and that I plan on doing on this one as well. I like to reply to all of the reviews in the next chapter instead of private messaging. I do this because sometimes readers have the questions that others might me having too and like this I'd be answering multiple persons. Hope this doesn't bother anyone. If it does you could always skip reading the replies. Anyway, sorry for the long Author's Note and thanks again for all the fantastic reviews!

Boo: Trust me, things are about to get even saucier (not sure that's a word :P) Anyway, I'm really happy to hear that you liked sneaky Dawn! I was kind of getting doubts on whether or not people would relate to her. Glad to see they did! I'll keep in mind the idea of Scott helping her clean the toilets… maybe you'll see it in this chapter…not sure :P
JGCDDH: Thanks for the review! Glad you liked it!
ARadomperson: You review really made my day! I was ecstatic to hear you say that you think I made Dawn and Scott well in character. It really meant a lot to hear you say that and I'm glad you think so. And P.S I do care about what my readers think so don't hold back on anything! Thanks again for the review!
KittyPurryMeow: Thank you so much for your review! I'm glad you liked the way I wrote about Dawn and Scott. I'm ecstatic that you thought I managed to keep them in character. That's what I was aiming for and I'm glad I succeeded!
I don't and never will I own any of the Total Drama Series :(
Alright, back to the story!
Chapter 2
Scott's POV
I couldn't believe that creepy, little freak did that to me! Now because of her I have to stop amusing myself by getting others eliminated and act like an idiot by matchmaking all the idiots on this show.
I had already known that that little freak would do something since it's my fault she now has to clean the public toilets but I never thought she would go this far. I had thought she'd make me help her clean the toilets or something and I had already hatched up a plan on how to stop her from asking me for that. I had obviously underestimated her. Freak.
Nice. She practically wants me to act nice! Helping others, play fair! "I'm not NICE!" I yelled to no one in particular. I desperately wanted to run back to Dawn and tell her that there was no way I was going to go through with it but I wasn't stupid. I knew that I had no choice. It was either help the little creep or straight to the catapult. I had no doubt that everyone would vote me off if they learned of what I had been doing.
How had it come to this? Until a few hours before I had been the one to have all of the players wrapped around my little finger. I could get whoever I wanted eliminated and all that it took was a little careful planning. And now? Now I have to go around matchmaking the players if I want to even have a chance at arriving till the final of this game.
If only I hadn't gone bragging to the camera in the public bathroom! Then Dawn wouldn't have that bloody video of me admitting to everything and I wouldn't be stuck in this situation. I had no doubt that if it wasn't for that video Dawn wouldn't have had anything on me. No one would believe her without proof. Not now that everyone thinks she was the one who stole all their stuff.
I know what you're probably asking yourselves. How could sneaky, manipulative Scott be stupid enough to give everything Dawn needed to blackmail him on a video? Well, excuse me! I had thought that she would be eliminated and I was right! She was going to be eliminated if it hadn't been for that idiot Chris who chose today out of all days to act kind and not catapult the loser as far away from the island as possible. Luck just wasn't on my side today!
The day after…
Dawn's POV
"RISE AND SHINE SLEEPY HEADS!" was the first thing I heard when I woke up. I would start grumbling but I'm used to it now. I haven't had a peaceful awakening ever since I got on this island.
Rubbing my eyes I started getting out of bed only to freeze. I suddenly remembered what had happened the day before. I was about to get kicked off but Chris gave me a penalty instead. Granted, it's cleaning the public toilets but at least I'm still in the game.
I also remembered the deal I had made with Scott and smiled. You know, I'm usually not evil at all and try to keep peace and serenity but Scott had crossed the line. No one got me framed for stealing and got away with it.
As I got out of the cabin Chris was quick to approach me. "You have fifteen minutes time before breakfast to clean the toilets", he said smirking. "Fifteen minutes", he repeated while walking away.
With a grimace I started walking towards the toilets. I hadn't opened the doors yet and I already smelled the horrible smell inside. How was I going to stand cleaning them? With another grimace I opened the door, knelt down on the floor and started scrubbing the extremely smelly toilet. "Stupid Scott!" I started muttering to myself. My head snapped up as I got an idea.
Smiling, I got up and made my way towards the boys' cabin. They were probably dressing up before heading to breakfast. When I reached at their cabin I knocked twice just to make sure they all knew someone was coming in. I didn't want to see anyone naked. Still, smiling I made my way inside. I immediately saw Scott and my smile got even wider.
Walking up to him I started talking. "Hey Scott. Would you mind coming outside for a minute? I need to talk to you." I saw him glaring at me but paid no attention to it. Still glaring, he nodded and got up from his bed, leading the way outside.
He started yelling as soon as we got outside. "What the hell do you want? I already agreed to help you in your stupid project. What else could you possibly want?"
I smiled up to him. "Well, you see Scott, this morning when I woke up Chris was kind enough to remind me about the penalty I have to go through because of you. You do remember that right? I wasn't eliminated but I have to clean the public bathrooms and I think you know that they're really smelly and dirty. That's why, since this is all your fault in the first place, I'm going to ask you to come and help me clean it up. I don't think I need to tell you what would happen if you said no."
I was never an evil girl. I was already starting to feel bad for blackmailing Scott into helping me with my matchmaking plan. There was no way that I was going to go show the video to the others just because he said no to helping me clean the toilets but I wasn't going to look like a wimp and take it back now that it's out in the open.
Scott looked ready to kill someone. Me, to be precise. I saw him taking a deep breath and I shut my eyes tight waiting for the incoming explosion. What I hadn't been expecting, however, was Scott saying, "Fine, let's go", through gritted teeth. I opened my eyes to see him glaring at me, his face a deep tomato red. If looks could kill I would already be buried five feet under soil by now.
We quickly made our way back to the toilets. "God, this thing smells!" yelled Scott as soon as we had knelt down in front of the toilet and opened the lid. "Doesn't anyone flush after using this thing?" he kept on yelling.
I raised my eyebrows at him. "Do you?" I asked. He gave me a half offended, half furious look. "Of course I do! I'm not an animal, you know!"
"Sorry", I said feeling guilty for judging him so quickly. He just scoffed at me and started brushing with a disgusted look on his face. I couldn't blame him. The toilet really was disgusting.
With both of us working we were done in ten minutes, to both of our relief. "I don't think I could've taken another second of that", I complained as soon as we got out of the bathroom. Scott just glared at me and started walking towards the breakfast room. "Hey, wait up!" I yelled while trying to catch up to him.
"What?" he snapped turning around to face me. I don't know why but for some reason I wanted to make him angry. Well, angrier than he already was.
"I just wanted to talk to you about my matchmaking plan. You did say you were going to help me after all", I said with an innocent smile on my face. If I thought he was red before it was nothing compared to now.
"Yeah, I did say that didn't I…after you BLACKMAILED ME!" he said the last part with a yell that made me flinch. I saw him taking a few breaths, hopefully to help him calm down. "I'll tell you what", he started in a calmer tone but he still sounded angry. "You tell me who you want to end up with whom and I'll handle the rest. I'll be done in a day, two maximum."
That said he turned around and continued walking towards the breakfast room but I was not happy. I wanted to be a part of the 'making it happen'. I quickly managed to catch up to him. I snatched his arm and turned him around. I caught him unaware so when I tried to turn him around to face me my plan worked a little differently.
While turning around he lost his balance and fell right on top of me. Unluckily, I wasn't expecting this to happen either so I fell down on the ground, with Scott on top of me.
When I looked up I found myself face to face with Scott. I had never seen him this close before and I had to admit, he was good looking. We were paralyzed by shock and we just kept looking into each other's eyes.
Scott was the first to snap out of it and shaking his head, he stood up. "What now?" he said, not even bothering to give me a hand up. He might be good looking but he greatly lacked in manners.
"I-I don't agree with your plan", I said, mentally cursing my nervous stammering. I was still shocked by what had happened.
"What the hell is wrong with my plan?" he yelled. "I'm practically handling everything and you're still not satisfied! What else could you possibly want?"
"That's the reason I'm not satisfied!" I yelled back. I rarely yell but he was really starting to get on my nerves with his attitude. "I want to be a part of the matchmaking. I don't want to just give you the pairings and have you do everything else. I want to help."
I was speechless when he burst out laughing. "You… helping?" he said still laughing. You said it yourself yesterday. I'm sneaky and persuasive something you're not so I don't really need your help but since I don't actually want to be doing this and since I would not mind seeing this plan fail miserably…fine we'll do this together", he said with a smirk on his face. I knew he was taking this whole thing as a joke so even though I hated to do it and I didn't really mean it I had no choice.
"Look Scott, either you take this seriously or I'm going to go to the breakfast room right now and show everyone the video. Are you really going to make me do that?"
Once again I had managed to wipe his smirk off his face. "Fine", he said with a glare.
"Here's the plan…", he said still glaring at me but at least I could be sure that he would take this seriously. After all, the happiness of the rest of the contestants depended on this plan.
Author's Note: Cliffhanger…sort of :P I promise to update as soon as possible with chapter 3 so you'll get to know Scott's plan. But on the bright side, this was quite a long chapter. What did you think of it? Did you like it? Hate it? Why? Did you like the little twist where Scott fell on Dawn? Please answer my questions with a review! Anyway, I'd like to say that it could be a few chapters before something starts happening between Scott and Dawn. There will be little twists like the ones in this chapter but nothing serious. I don't want to go too fast. After all, they can't just go from hating each other (at least in Scott's case, you'll see what Dawn thinks later) straight to liking each other in a romantic way. Sorry if that's what you were expecting. Looks like I got carried away with the Author's Note again. Hope you guys actually read these :P Anyway, stay tuned for chapter 3 and in the meantime, REVIEW! :D :D
Love, Kikkina123 xxx
