I'd Walk 4 Miles If I Could Just See You

"Last time, on Total Drama Island, the campers were introduced to their home for the next eight weeks known as Camp Wawanakwa! They had to do their first challenge, which was to jump off a cliff, and create the most awesometastic hot tub ever! The Screaming Gophers owned the challenge, while Noah, in the backgrounds, formed the first alliance of the season. Meanwhile on the Killer Bass, Tyler and Heather are getting along pretty well. When they lost last time, two campers' meddling ended up causing Sadie and Geoff to be eliminated! Distraught by her friend's departure, Katie begins an evil conquest! What will happen now on Total! Drama! ISLAND!" Chris' voice echoed as he introduced the episode.

In the Screaming Gophers' cabin…

Noah was conversing with his alliance. They were all talking about whom to vote for if they lost the challenge, while Bridgette and Lindsay were busy freshening up for the day in the bathrooms. Justin was trying to charm Leshawna, who just pushed him away, as Duncan carved something into the walls of their cabin.

"Wow, Brianna, you look so good today!" Lindsay forgot Bridgette's name. However, the latter was amused by her rather low intellect, and decided to converse a bit more.

"It's Bridgette, Lindsay. And, thanks," Bridgette replied. After that, they both turned to the mirrors in the bathrooms, to fix their hair and such.

Confessional

-Bridgette-

"Lindsay might not be the smartest, but she's really nice. That's what counts, right?" Bridgette said, while putting her hands on her knees. Then, she turns the camera off before fixing an outplaced hair.

-Lindsay-

"Brianna's really cool! She knows how to work a hairdryer!" Lindsay commented, before playing with her hair. She seems so into it, before she forgets to shut off the camera.

"How could you not be charmed by a god's body like mine?" Justin questioned the sister. Leshawna turned to him, and explained why.

"I know guys like you. You only want girls to make them fall in love with your body, and not your actual personality. Boy, I can read you like an open book!" Leshawna sassed the male model. Justin was gaping as Leshawna saw right through him.

"I'm beautiful, though! I don't need personality!" Justin cried out in desperation, to which Leshawna just turned her back and walked away, leaving Justin depressed for the day. Courtney watched the entire thing with a smirk; Leshawna was right. Justin only used girls for his dirty work. Of course, Courtney would never fall for that model. She had her eyes set on someone else.

I'll impress him with my leadership skills, and then I'll win him over! Courtney thought out a plan as she glanced at the boy she was crushing on. He was talking to Cody, Eva, and Izzy, when he turned to see her staring. Courtney turned abruptly, blushing furiously, before walking away.

"Noah, who should we vote for if we lose?" Eva asked the brains of the team. He pondered it for a moment, before answering.

"I don't know. I assure you that I will know at the end of today's challenge," Noah answered calmly. The rest of the alliance nodded, before splitting up. Meanwhile, Duncan overheard the conversation while he was carving a skull into the wood.

"That little nerd thinks he can just choose whoever he wants to be eliminated? Think again, Noah." The delinquent snickered, before going back to carving.

"All challengers must report to the front of their cabins immediately!" Chris' voice boomed over the PA. All twenty-one teens grunted, before going outside to see the host with Chef next to him.

"All of you are going to run a four-mile race throughout the island, and you will end where Chef will place the yellow flag!" Chris announced to the campers. Before they knew it, they were all lined up, before Chef shot the gun.

Noah and Cody took an early lead, despite their not-so-stellar muscle. Justin quickly overtook them, however, and smirked as he passed by them. Leshawna was keeping a steady pace, while Bridgette tried to accelerate ahead.

Soon, all of the contestants were racing around the halfway point, near the cliff that the first challenge took place in. Eva was in first, and kept a steady lead. Tyler was in second, while Owen was trudging behind in last place. Lindsay was running barefoot, as she thought that running with heels was suicide. Meanwhile, Duncan was evened out with Noah for fifth place.

"So…huff…who do you think we should vote for if we lose?" Duncan asked the bookworm the question knowingly. Noah eyed him suspiciously before answering.

"We should…huff…obviously vote out who…screwed us over in the challenge…" Noah panted before straying behind Duncan. The delinquent simply smirked, before trying to take fourth place away from Justin.

As the race finished, Eva and Izzy were the first to arrive, while the others trailed slowly after. The finish line was already broken as the rest of the teams followed in the exact same spot as the beginning. The Screaming Gophers and the Killer Bass had looked even, when Chris decided to announce the winner.

"The winner of this challenge is…the Screami-" An overweight teenager carrying a bookworm cut off Chris. Noah was unconscious, and was red with heat. Owen looked as if he just ran as fast as he could, before Cody set him on the floor gently. Then, he took a bucket, and ran to the bathroom. After a few minutes, the tech geek ran outside, and dropped the water on Noah's head. However, this still didn't wake him up, and Cody started to worry.

"Is anyone certified in artificial respiration?" Gwen asked everyone worriedly. Chris was biting his fingernails, as he didn't need a lawsuit in only the second episode of the show. Cody sheepishly raised his hand, as Gwen and the others looked on expectantly.

The tech geek gripped the unconscious bookworm's hand. He had washed his hands in the bathroom getting water, so he wasn't worried about the cleanliness of his hands. With the two of his hands, he stretched Noah's mouth open, and Cody plunged his own lips to meet Noah's.

Cody began to blow air into Noah's body, before stopping, and thrusting Noah's chest. Within a few minutes of doing "the kiss of life" and thrusting, Noah was reinvigorated, standing up, while thanking Cody. The tech geek blushed madly like how Courtney did before. Everyone clapped except for one person, who laughed.

"Ha! The two nerds are fags for each other! That's so gay! Oh wait, that's not gay, they are!" Duncan laughed maniacally, as everyone stared at him with disgust. Even Heather and Tyler looked at him, as if he had done worse than what they did before. Cody had probably just saved Noah's life; and Duncan could only think about how "faggy" that was?

"You're a prick! Cody just saved Noah's life!" Courtney stood up, and walked over to the delinquent. She was steaming with anger, as Duncan snickered.

"Yeah, by just kissing him! I've always heard that true love comes from life and death, and I guess that I'm right!" Duncan snickered, before Cody's face flushed. Noah walked over to Duncan, fully prepared with sarcastic remarks inside his mind.

"Are you filming this?" Chris smirked, as Chef nodded. Noah was slandering Duncan, while everyone else watched. Courtney looked on with a grin, to know that justice had been served. However, as she looked to her right, she saw Cody getting redder, and redder until it happened; Cody burst into tears, and ran into the bathrooms. Everyone stopped, and stared at Duncan.

"The fag got what he deserve-" Noah punching him in the jaw cut Duncan short. Despite his scrawny figure, the punch packed power, and Duncan fell down after. The Indian ran into the bathrooms, while everyone else was really quiet.

Meanwhile, in the bathrooms, Noah was stepping on the old tiled floors. He could hear the faint sound of crying. Suddenly, Noah got closer and closer, before his eyes nearly popped out at what he saw.

Cody was cutting himself with a sharp razor on his arms, near his shoulders. Noah saw the tears dried up on his face, as he started to walk towards the troubled boy. Cody felt his mental pain replaced by the physical pain as the blood flowed, relieving him of any stress. Then, Cody saw Noah, and tried to put away the razor. However, Noah already saw it.

"Cody…why didn't you tell any of us about this…" Noah chose his words carefully. He didn't want to upset Cody anymore than he already was. Cody stared at the bloodstained razor, and set it down on the sink.

"Noah, you wanna know why? You'd think I was a freak. You'd think I wasn't normal if I was cutting myself. Well, sometimes, physical pain takes away from the mental pain you get from being bullied every day! But you wouldn't understand! You're the High IQ, the guy who has friends because he has a selling point!" Cody began, as Noah felt his own tears fall. Noah almost never cried, yet he felt a pang of sympathy for the boy.

"But, no! Life just doesn't work that way for all of us! You don't get to choose who you like! Life does! And sometimes, life gives us a giant kick to the face when we like someone of our own kind! You know, what, though? I don't care. Duncan can go screw himself, because I am done! I'm done with everyone who has ever hated me! Guess what, everyone?! You got your wish! Cody Emmet Jamison Anderson is not going to be alive anymore!" Cody screamed, before he grabbed the bloodstained razor. Noah, knowing what Cody was about to do, jumped onto the smaller boy, essentially wrestling him for the razor. When Noah grabbed the razor from Cody, he threw it into the drain as soon as possible. Cody lunged for it, but it was too late. When he realized this, Cody went into hysterics.

The rest of the campers, save for Duncan, entered the cabin despite the gender sign on the front door. They saw Cody with multiple cuts on his shoulders, while Noah looked sorry for the treatment that the tech geek got. Cody kneeled, and looked up to Noah.

"What did you do?! That was my only chance! My only chance of freedom! My only…" Cody burst into tears, before Noah did the most unexpected thing. The campers watched, as Noah kneeled down onto the tiled floor, and took Cody in his arms, allowing Cody to cry on his shoulders. This went on for about five minutes, before two interns came in to take Cody into the infirmary. However, he was resolute in staying with Noah, so the bookworm decided to go with him.

In the infirmary…

Noah waited inside the tent, looking at Cody with multiple bandages on the area near his shoulders. The Indian sat down next to the tech geek, and they struck up a conversation.

"N-Noah…th-thank you…" Cody began to speak. Noah gave the tech geek a genuine smile, before hugging him once more.

"Cody, it doesn't matter if you're gay, or not. To tell you the truth, I'm bisexual, so I know what you're going through. Why do you think I always look sarcastic? My emotions are blocked out by walls that only certain people can get through. You, Izzy, and Eva are those people," Noah explained to Cody. The bookworm gathered his thoughts inside of him, while the tech geek did the same.

Is Noah the one?

Is Cody the one?

He's so special if you get through to him…

He's the nicest person ever…

He's just like me…

He understands me…

I think I know…

I believe I know…

that he's the one…Noah gazed at Cody, who returned the action. Noah's face inched closer and closer to Cody's, until their noses touched. Cody, for the first time in a few hours, grinned.

"What are you doing?" Cody asked, though he already knew the answer to that question.

"Kissing you," Noah said, before closing the distance between his and Cody's lips. Noah noticed that Cody's lips tasted like strawberries, while Cody thought that Noah's tasted like chocolate. The kiss was passionate, before Noah broke it. After they composed themselves, they both grinned, while they watched the rest of the show in the TV inside the tent.

"Screaming Gophers, since one player didn't compete the race consciously, it's time for your first campfire ceremony!" Chris smiled sadistically. The Screaming Gophers gaped, when Izzy interrupted the host.

"It's not like Noah did it on purpose, like my uncle did one time to get out of school…" Izzy droned into one of her stories, before Chris had three interns take the Screaming Gophers to the campfire.

In the campfire…

All of the Screaming Gophers were pretty tensed up at the campfire, considering what had happened.

"Screaming Gophers, I have ten marshmallows here today, yet there are only eleven of you. One of you is going home tonight, and never coming back to this island. EVER," Chris emphasized on the last part. The Screaming Gophers lined up, and put in their votes with a secret ballot.

Confessional

-Courtney-

"You went too far today. Too far. Now, you're paying the price," Courtney says while forming a fist. Her face turns red with anger.

-Lindsay-

"So, all I have to do is choose the name of a person I don't like? Okay!" Lindsay says excitedly, before picking off a random name. She puts the cap of the pen on backwards, and leaves it for the next person.

-Eva-

"Because of you, one of our campers is now severely injured! What's wrong with you?!" Eva yells, before crossing off a name, and punching a hole through the confessional door.

-Gwen-

"Good bye. No one will miss you," Gwen says before stabbing the pen through the name.

-Duncan-

"What did I do? The fag deserves it. People like that shouldn't exist in our world. It's not like the first people were fags, anyway. I'm voting for Cody. I know I won't make a difference under normal circumstances, but let's just say I did something a bit sneaky," Duncan says confidently, before relaxing back onto the confessional. He accidentally falls into the toilet bowl.

The eleven campers were now sitting on the logs near the campfire. Chris was holding the plate of marshmallows, before the Screaming Gophers received them.

"The following people are safe until next time!

Noah!

Cody!

Lindsay!

Leshawna!

Courtney!

Eva!

Izzy!

Gwen!

Bridgette!"

The aforementioned people received their marshmallows with pride, as they glared at Duncan. It was down to Duncan and Justin, while Chris held the final marshmallow.

"The final marshmallow goes to…

Justin!" Chris threw the marshmallow to the male model, before Duncan became angry. Courtney smirked, as she turned her back on him.

"How could my plan fail?!" Duncan fumed, before Chef carried him into the Dock of Shame. The campers waved goodbye tauntingly, as Duncan swore revenge on each and every one of them.

Confessional

-Bridgette-

"I thought he'd pull a trick like this," Bridgette says, after opening the vote box to see ten votes against Leshawna. She switches them back with the original Duncan votes, and then winks at the camera.

"Well, that was a certainly dramatic episode! Noah and Cody got together, while Duncan was the one who got the boot after his homophobic comments, and now there are even teams again! Who will go to the loser's area next time on TOTAL. DRAMA. ISLAND!" Chris announces before the camera cuts to black.
