Man guys, I truly am sorry for the horrible hiatus. I was on writers block. I never even meant for it to last so long.
Total Drama Around the World
Chapter 19: Top Notch Ecuador
First Class
" check out my dive bomb. " Duncan said and he dove inside the pool, making a big splash.
" ugh, Duncan you idiot watch it, " Angelina retorted.
" heh my bad. "
Mike snickered from his seat. " Nice one. "
" I'm so glad we won first class and I can't stress that enough. " Vinny said as he ate the delicious food.
" this food is so tasty. " Izzy added and she began consuming the food.
" damn Iz, you eat like a tank. " Vinny said. " You would definitely like my parents. They cook for me in large portions of food. "
" wow really, do you get the whole Italian treatment Vinny? " Izzy said, she could practically taste more food already.
Confessional
Izzy: I can taste it already! Pizza, spaghetti, tiramisu desserts, rice, and pizza
End of Confessional
" I sure do, in fact you guys should all come over to my house after this finishes. " Vinny suggested.
" hey count me in. " Duncan replied. " It'll be like a load off after this queer game finishes. "
" I'm game! " Mike said.
" oooh I'm definitely in too! " Izzy added.
" I've got a huge family, so I'm use to several visitors at once. " Vinny joked. " So we gotta have Tyler, Jenni, and my buddy Clay in it too. "
" that's gonna rock man, we'll chill as a team. " Duncan cheered.
Vinny turned to Angelina who had a distant look on her. " Ange c'mon, you didn't think I wouldn't invite you, right? We're still a team. "
Angelina's face lit up. " Thanks Vinny-.. I mean I knew you'd invite me. "
" oh great. " Mike mumbled.
" can Captain Pirate Pants go too? " Izzy asked.
" of course Izzy, that darn bird is a hero to this team. He saved us lots of times. " Vinny answered.
Second Class
" so it's down to fifteen. " Deena said. The Red Shell Bullets were currently in their room talking about previous events.
" seems like it. " Pauly replied as he folded his arms behind his head.
" wonder who's next? " Ronnie asked, but he was just relieved it wasn't Sammi who left.
" hopefully not us. " Alejandro answered.
" I agree. " Courtney said. " We're almost down to half already. "
" wow, I made it all the way to top 15! " Pauly said and he raised his fist. " I wanna see just how far I can get. "
Ronnie smirked. " Me too bro, me too. "
Deena stared at the ceiling. " Yeah I hope I win those ten million bucks. Oh if I did, the first thing I'll do is buy myself some clothes, or get my nails done, or get a car- "
" what? Deena that's what you'd do with the money " Pauly said. " Shit, if I won I'd get my own tour bus and travel all over the place. I'll become the biggest Dj you've ever seen. " Courtney stared at him in admiration. She thought the kid was just a regular class clown, but he had his dreams too.
" the first thing I'll do if I won is take Sam out to the richest restaurant I can think of. Then I'll buy myself a huge house. " Ronnie said.
" aww that's so cute Ronnie. " Deena joked.
" if I won I'd move away from home and start my own business. " Alejandro said. " I'm always my brother's shadow, so I wanna get away "
" what about you Court? " Ronnie said. He was eager to hear her part, and seeing as how everyone had voiced their thoughts it'd only be fair to hear hers as well. " What would you do? "
Courtney placed her hand on her chin. " Well, to be honest I haven't thought about it. "
" what! You're kidding? " Deena exclaimed and her shocked look mirrored everyones.
" the real reason I came on this show was for my redemption and some recognition. " Courtney truthfully said. " The money as I had told Chris before, was a plus. "
" suppose you did win. " Ronnie added, now even more interested in her thoughts
Her thoughts immediately went to Mark. How he saved her, how he was so kind, how he became her best friend. " If I won... I'd move into a bigger spot, I'd buy him his favorite food, I'd buy him a better car, and I'd repay him for everything he's done for me. " By now Courtney had trailed off and was speaking more to herself. " I think that's what I'd do. " Her teammates all stared at her with curiosity.
Confessionals
Ronnie: him?
Deena: him?
Alejandro: him?
Pauly: *irritated face* him!
End of Confessionals
" huh? " Courtney said as she noticed their stares. It was as if they were burning a hole on her head. She quickly got up. " Eh, gotta go to the bathroom quick. "
" who's him.. " Ronnie thought as she dashed out.
Third Class
Quiet. That's what would summarize the third class. They knew what the reason was for it too. It was because a certain short girl was gone.
" c'mon cheer up Trent. " Sammi said, trying to bring the guy out of his funk.
" I know I'm worrying you, but it just sucks. " Trent mumbled. " I just wish it wasn't her. "
" you and me both. " Heather added, she had wished Gwen left and not Snooki.
" hey I know it sucks. " Corey said. " But you can't quit, take it from me I know how it feels. "
" just like Corey said, cheer up. " Gwen said.
" yeah you guys are right. " Trent said and let out a small laugh. " I mean it must be depressing if even Heather is cheering me up "
" haha totally. " Corey laughed.
Heather blushed. " Shut up, I wasn't trying to cheer you up. I was just... just trying to.. stop this quietness in here, it was irritating ". Her team's disbelieving looks caused her to stand up. " But now it's too loud, so I'm going out "
Corey chuckled as she left. " That girl just can't be honest with herself. "
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Courtney sighed as she leaned on the railing. " Oh geez, I just blabbed on. I forgot none of them know who Mark is. " She wondered why they were staring at her so curious like.
" planning on jumping. " a voice insulted.
Courtney scowled at the voice " You're not suppose to be on this part of the ship Heather. "
" Like I care, I go wherever I want. "
Courtney rolled her eyes. " Stay if you want, I don't have time for this. " And she began walking away.
" wait! " Heather called out and Courtney stopped in her tracks. " I wanted to ask you something. "
" what's that? " Courtney said in curiosity.
" before.. you had said he's like you, what did you mean? " Heather asked. Courtney knew she was talking about Alejandro.
Courtney's silence only made Heather more frustrated. " Do you... like him? "
" no I don't. " Courtney spoke after a while.
" well then... what's your connection with him? " Heather said somewhat hesitantly. She couldn't say why, but she just couldn't bare the thought of him with someone else.
" his... eyes. " Courtney said and even without facing Heather she could practically feel Heather's curious gaze. " Such lonely eyes.. "
Heather's face contorted into that of confusion and interest. She stayed silent as Courtney continued.
" like mine.. " Courtney whispered.
" I want revenge Courtney "
" is that why you came back Alejandro? "
" I want to make her pay "
Courtney winced at the memory. " Now I can see that he's becoming a monster... like me. "
" Tyler was right, Duncan is with Gwen now. "
" it's your fault for pushing him away. "
" you always had a pole up your butt princess. "
Courtney gritted her teeth in anger. " I remember how I hated all of you... because all of you hated me. When I realized Duncan left me it almost felt as if everyone became more cold hearted. I was deeply troubled, but I had no one. At one point you tried to console me, and for a moment I thought maybe I could've confided in you. "
Heather's eyes widened in surprise. It was true. When Courtney had been crying she had tried to comfort her. Up to today she didn't know why.
Courtney then turned to face Heather with a cold glare. " But I was wrong, all you felt was pity. I couldn't stand any of you. I hated all of you, so I decided on revenge. I would ruin you all and I would ruin Duncan, that's what I chose. It was killing me slowly day by day. It didn't solve anything, it just made everyone hate me even more. It got to the point where even I hated myself. I couldn't stand to look at myself, but there was no turning back anymore. "
By now Heather wasn't looking into her face. She just found it to hard to look at Courtney.
" but then... I met someone. "
" whoa you're Courtney from Total Drama! "
" thanks for saving me uh... "
" it's Mark, nice to meet you. "
Courtney smiled. " And on this ship... I met more people. "
" Court, how bout some Ron-Ron juice. "
" hey honey, looking good. "
" Courtney let's show these boys how us girlfriends can cook. "
Courtney could feel her heart warming up at the sweet memories she's made here. " These people appeared in my life and acknowledged me, that's why it all became alright. Even if I hated myself or if the world hated me, it was okay.. because I wasn't alone anymore. I realized how wonderful the feeling of existence felt. I never imagined I get such a blessing. "
Heather wondered if this is what it felt like to surround yourself with friends. If this was how it felt to be cared for, to be important to someone. She watched as Courtney's hands began shaking.
" But, thinking about the past.. it frightens me. " Courtney placed her hands on her head as if repressing the thoughts. " That suffering was freaking agonizing. Everything was all darkness and pain, a pitch-black hell. How could I've ever lived a happy life if I was like that... alone. That's precisely why I can understand him. "
" I never.. knew you felt like that. " Heather muttered. So was this what Courtney was truly feeling. Is this everything she had bottled up.
" attention crewmates get outside know, we're here at last! " Chris called.
" well, well. " Courtney said. " They're playing our song. C'mon, let's go do some challenges. "
Courtney walked out of the ship and outside to her teammates. " So where are we? "
" beats me. " Ronnie replied with a shrug.
" yo Chris where are we? " Corey called out.
" to answer your question Corey, we're now in Ecuador! " Chris said.
" awesome, Ecuador. They've got some hot ladies over here! " Vinny exclaimed.
" just the type of situation you wanna be in. " Mike said.
" unfortunately for you, we're not here for ladies. We're here on business. " Chris declared with a laugh. " Our first challenge awaits, now onto the bus crewmates! "
Duncan dragged himself to the bus. " Gimme a freaking break, another ride on the suck bus. "
" tell me about it. " Corey muttered.
Courtney wandered over to Pauly's seat, her usual seat. " Hey Pauly. "
" oh... hey. " Pauly replied.
Courtney noticed his distant look. " Are you okay Pauly? " Not that she'd ever admit it, but she cared a great deal for the guy.
" I'm good. " Pauly reassured, this time with his trademark grin.
" if you say so.. " Courtney said, still not fully convinced.
Confessional
Pauly: I don't know who this 'Him' is, but that hasn't thrown me off my game. Nothing stops Pauly D once he sets his mind on something.. or someone
End of Confessional
At the back of the bus sat a pensive Heather, with her usual seat buddy, Corey. Heather was to busy thinking of earlier's events to pay much attention to her loud friend.
" hey I saw a cool bird! " Corey said. " Atomic H you heard me? "
Heather snapped out of her thoughts. " Huh, you say something? "
Corey frowned. " Man, you haven't heard a word I've said have you? "
Heather blushed in embarrassment. " Oh.. I uh guess not, sorry ". Wait was she apologizing, this friendship thing 'must' really be getting to her.
" nah, don't sweat it. " Corey said. " So what's on your mind, you seem off. "
" I don't know Corey... I just.. I'm just a little stressed out. " Heather murmured.
" I see, well don't try and bottle it up or anything. That's not healthy. "
Heather leaned her head back on the seat. " I just don't know what to freaking do anymore. It's like I'm at a loss. "
" what is it exactly that's bothering you? " Corey asked. He wasn't sure what she was saying, but she was opening up for once.
" my thoughts.. my mind is killing me. "
" what is it saying? "
" it's telling me to do this and not do that, to act before it's too late, and another part is just telling me to stop thinking about unnecessary things and get my head in the game. " Heather vented out everything on her mind. She placed her hands on her head. " Damn, it's frustrating. "
Corey took in her words for a moment. She seemed to be having a mental debate within her. A series of thoughts popping in that she couldn't tell what's what. " Well, Atomic H, what is your heart saying? "
Heather paused at the question.
" have you asked yourself what it is you truly want Atomic H? " Corey said. " You gotta search underneath them thoughts to figure it out. "
In the midst of all her thinking and frustration, she couldn't help but chuckle. Corey raised an eyebrow. " What's so funny? "
" you could be a therapist. "
" ... "
After a moment of silence the two broke out into laughter.
" we're here! " Chef called out and was disappointed when nobody was sent flying.
" hah! Grabbing onto the seat is pretty useful, dontcha think Chef'o, " Duncan said as he departed the bus along with the rest.
" okay crewmates we're now in Quito, Ecuador's capital. This large spacious area you see here is called 'Parque Metropolitano Guanguiltagua' "
" heh, say that five times faster. " Duncan joked, earning a set of chuckles and a glare from Chris.
" what in the world is that? " Gwen asked as she pointed to a huge area covered with a black drape
" I'm glad you noticed Gwen! " Chris said.
" seriously, how could anyone not notice that huge thing. " Courtney said.
" haha, that's what she said. " Pauly laughed. Courtney pulled him into a headlock. " Ohh shut up Pauly! "
" ow alright, alright! " Pauly said and he laughed afterwards. " Sorry, it's just you make it to easy. "
Chris coughed irritatedly to get everyone's attention. " Okay, now that you're listening. " He beckoned Chef. " Take the covers off. "
Chef pulled back the drape to reveal a huge maze-like structure.
" is that a maze? " Mike said in bewilderment.
" no way. " Ronnie mumbled.
" whoa! Check it! " Corey exclaimed in pure admiration.
Sammi peered at Corey's amazed face. " Dude, what's so cool about this? "
Corey grabbed her by her shoulders. " Are you kidding me Smoking Aces, didn't you ever want to try out a maze when you were little? "
" Corey you are such a strange boy. " Sammi replied. " What makes you think I'd want to do a maze as a kid? "
Corey shook his head. " Tsk, tsk, Smoking Aces you have much to learn. You must've been a girly girl or something. "
" hey, I'll have you know that I had a good reputation as a kid. " Sammi countered.
Angelina groaned in annoyance. " Get on with it Chris, I can't stand around doing nothing. "
" you guys have like no manners at all. " Chris whined. " Anyways, each team will be entering from a different door of this maze. Your job is simple, reach the end of this maze before the others do to win an advantage. "
" maann! I'm so fired up! " Corey beamed with excitement. " Let's do this thing Get Backers! "
" yeah! That's the spirit. " Trent said as he high fived his eager teammate.
" well then, places everyone. " Chris said and he lined them up on their doors. Once they were ready he spoke. " Okay, let the 'Maze-merizing Race' began! "
The teams rushed inside.
Team Red Shell Bullets
" I think it's this way. " Deena said.
" hell, why not? Lead the way. " Ronnie said.
" I'd love to. " Deena replied. She led them on through a straight path only to reach a dead end. " Huh, I was sure this was it. "
" allow me señorita. " Alejandro offered, as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
" fine, go for it. " Courtney said.
Alejandro smirked. " Follow me amigos. I'll save us from this cruel challenge. "
" Alejandro you're so awesome! " Deena cheered.
*THIRTY SECONDS LATER*
" another dead end. " Pauly said.
" que? It can't be. " Alejandro grumbled and he slumped to the floor. " Amigos, I failed you. "
" geez bro, don't take it so rough. " Ronnie said, trying to comfort his disappointed friend.
" don't worry Alejandro, you tried your best. " Deena said.
Alejandro took her hands in his. " Thank you, your kind words proved to alleviate my mood. "
" hehe, don't mention it. "
" let me take a crack at it. " Ronnie suggested.
" knock yourself out. " Pauly said.
Ronnie began walking with a confident face. The team felt he knew what he was doing. Ronnie had a flawless look in him too.
*TWO MINUTES LATER*
" no way! " Ronnie spat.
Pauly sighed. " Well, what do you know, another dead end. "
" pipe down Pauly, it's not as easy as it looks! " Deena snapped.
" she's right amigo. " Alejandro added.
" I'll have a go at it then. " Courtney chimed in.
Team Get Backers
" well Corey, which way? " Sammi snapped as they encountered yet another dead end.
" yeah, mr. I-always-wanted-to-do-a-maze, which way? " Heather added.
" gimme a second to think ladies. " Corey countered. " Geez you're all down my throat. "
" this is getting us nowhere. " Gwen complained.
" yeah, we've been walking for God knows how long? " Trent added.
" guess mazes just aren't your best talent, huh Corey? " Sammi taunted.
" hey, I said that I wanted to do a maze when I was a kid, not that I'd built my whole life on doing one! " Corey defended. " I'm a future NFL player, not a maze racer! "
" don't even sweat it, how can anyone be good at these things anyway. It's all based on pure guessing. " Gwen said.
" thank you, at least someone understands. " Corey replied.
" I'll take the lead this time. " Heather announced with confidence. " Follow me "
" this is just the thing you're good at, guessing. Not like you can do something that requires thinking. " Gwen mocked.
" bite me! " Heather snapped.
" hehe, easy now ladies. " Trent said.
Heather took the lead and her teammates followed right behind her. " We gotta narrow it down to the spots we haven't been to "
" sounds good, oh fearless leader. " Gwen sarcastically said.
" I cannot wait for you to leave. "
" likewise. "
Heather turned to a corner and frowned. " A dead end... great. "
" that sucks. " Trent mumbled.
" this could take forever. " Gwen groaned.
" hey I got an idea. " Sammi said and she faced Corey. " Do you got your knife on you? "
" yeah, why? " Corey replied as he handed her his precious knife.
" I've been thinking about what Heather said before, y'kno about narrowing it down. We can do that with this, we'll just mark off the places we've been too already. " Sammi explained.
" Smoking Aces that's brilliant! "
Confessionals
Corey: that's my Smoking Aces for ya, smart. Us Get Backers have the best team
Heather: see, I'm smart. If it weren't for me Sammi would've never thought of that
End of Confessionals
" c'mon then guys! " Trent cheered.
Using the knife Team Get Backers were able to narrow down their choices. Eventually reaching the end of the maze.
" hah, what I tell you guys!." Sammi boasted when she noticed they were the first ones out.
" alright Sam! " Gwen cheered.
" nice job winning the advantage people. " Chris said whilst clapping. " Now we wait. "
Team Monster Sharks
" dude we're lost. " Duncan said.
" hang on bro, I said I'd get us outta here. " Vinny replied as he steered his team to another route.
" we're so lost. " Angelina grumbled.
" it's a maze, you're suppose to be lost. " Mike joked.
" mazes are fun, dontcha think guys. " Izzy said as she petted her parrot.
" Izzy, let Captain Pirate Pants lead the way. " Duncan suggested. " He can see from above these big walls and tell us where to go. "
" but that's cheating. " Angelina cut in. " We'll probably get instant elimination Duncan. "
" she's right D-machine, we can't use outside help. " Izzy added.
" well that was my idea, where are yours? " Duncan said, irritated by being wrong.
" hey I got it! " Mike said.
" what, c'mon spit it out! " Duncan eagerly said.
" well what if we peek through the walls, they're not that high up. "
" I'm not giving none of you a boost. " Angelina said with her arms crossed.
" this is a man's job anyway " Mike retorted, before turning to Izzy. " Izzy I can tell you've got the best memory outta all of us, as crazy as ya are, so it's on you. "
Izzy gave him a salute. " Tell me my mission. "
" we're going to give you a boost, and you try to remember as much of the path as you can. "
" I hear you loud and clear Mikey. "
" wow bro, nice plan. " Vinny complimented.
" let's do it man, I'm pumped! " Duncan said and he placed both hands together. " Okay Vin, go. "
Vinny climbed onto Duncan's shoulders. " Mike go, be careful. "
Mike carefully climbed passed Duncan and onto Vinny's shoulders. " Alright Izzy hurry! "
" Duncan are you alright there? " Angelica asked.
" this is nothing. " Duncan said through clenched teeth. " I can do this for hours. "
Izzy easily climbed passed the three men and stood over Mike's shoulders. " Okay, I see it. "
" c'mon girl, hurry! " Vinny ordered, as he felt Duncan's legs wobbling.
" shit... can't, can't hold.. ya! " Duncan groaned as his legs gave away. The three guys fell onto the floor with a thud, except for Izzy who landed on her feet. " I got it fellas. "
Vinny and Mike helped Duncan onto his feet.
" follow my lead. " Izzy said and she successfully led her teammates out of the maze.
" woohoo! " Mike cheered.
Chris smirked " Team Monster Sharks you guys are second, we'll now wait for our last team. "
Team Red Shell Bullets
" we're lost Court. " Ronnie said.
" no we're not. "
" being lost sucks Courtney. " Deena complained.
" we're not lost Dee. "
" estamos muy perdidos. " Alejandro muttered.
" I understand Spanish y'kno, we're not lost! "
" honey face it, we're lost. " Pauly added.
" we're not, we're just taking the scenic route. " Courtney said, holding in her annoyance as she led them through the hallways.
" what's there to see? " Ronnie grumbled.
" err... fine! " Courtney snapped and she threw her arms up. " We're lost guys! "
Pauly massaged her shoulders to calm her down. " Relax honey, I'll take over from here. "
After more dead ends and turnings the Shell Bullets finally made it outside the maze.
" we're free! " Ronnie said and he stretched his arms out. " Feel that fresh air baby! "
Sammi chuckled at her boyfriend. " Too bad you're dead last Ron. "
" aww c'mon man! " Deena cried as she noticed everyone was already there.
" sorry Shell Bullets, but you're last. " Chris taunted. " Now onwards to the next challenge, back to the bus people. " Pauly placed his hands behind his head. " Oh damn, we ended up losing. That sucks yo. "
Courtney took his arms and led him inside the bus. " C'mon Pauly, cheer up. " He smiled as she led him. " Aww you're so nice to me. " He said in a dreamlike state.
Duncan scoffed as he walked past them two. They were to jittery. Why couldn't it be him?
Vinny sat down next to him. " Yo D, that was some work we put in right? "
Duncan didn't notice him until Vinny flashed his hand in front of him. " What you say? "
Vinny frowned. " Get it together Duncan, don't lose your head. "
" I'm fine. " Duncan replied, but his distant face contradicted his words.
" well alright then. "
" man, she's to good for him. " Duncan mumbled, more to himself than Vinny.
Vinny followed Duncan's gaze. " Who Court? "
" what does she see in him? "
" dunno. Only Courtney knows that. "
" not like I care or anything, but... " Duncan trailed off. " I just think she could get better. "
Confessional
Vinny: oookay, not really fooling me Duncan
End of Confessional
Pauly was on his usual seat. " Yo Court we'll so win the next challenge for sure. "
Courtney grinned. " That's the good ol' Pauly I know; a confident guy. "
" hey Courtney... about our talk before, you know back on the boat. "
" what about it? "
" you mentioned some dude, who is- "
" We're here! " Chef shouted and he halted the bus.
Pauly cursed under his breath. " Nevermind. " He departed the bus alongside the others.
" and we're at? " Gwen asked.
" we're in the city of 'Ibarra', a few miles away from 'Quito'. " Chris answered. " Our challenge zone. "
" so what's it gonna be this time? " Corey asked.
" follow me children. "
" hey, we're all nineteen here. " Angelina snapped.
" yeah, we're no babies. " Duncan added.
Chris led them towards a lake. " This beautiful lake here is 'Lago Yahuarcocha'.
" it's nice, but I take it that we're not here to sightsee. " Gwen sarcastically said.
" nope. Now it's game time. " Chris pointed to the water. " Check it out. "
There were flags standing over the water and three floating objects were positioned on the water, covered by drapes.
" huh, what's that? " Courtney mumbled.
" This is what you'll be using for this challenge. " Chris explained. " This challenge will be consisting of you guys using these things. "
" they're not all the same. " Mike pointed out, as some machines looked bigger then the others.
" good eye Mike, they're 'not' all the same. " Chris replied. " The winners of the first challenge will be using a hydroplane boat, or the thunder boat, cos' they won first. "
Chef revealed a red boat with a big motor.
" wow, that's our ride! " Corey said happily.
" yes it is. " Chris responded. " Now for the Monster Sharks, Chef. "
Chef pulled the drape and this time a customized jet ski was revealed.
" not bad. " Vinny said.
Chris eyed the Red Shell Bullets with a grin. " Heh, and last and definitely least, the Shell Bullets. "
Chef laughingly revealed the last boat.
" you gotta be kidding me. " Ronnie said.
" that can't be our ride! " Deena cried.
" it looks cheap. " Alejandro added.
" it's pink. " Pauly muttered.
" it's a raft, an air-filled raft. " Courtney finished.
" since you guys were the losers, then that's what you're ride is going to be. " Chris said. " The challenge will be race around those flags. The first team to do two laps around wins first class, while the losers end up in third class with one person short. "
Everyone gulped.
" this challenge requires three people. The boats each have their own assortment of gadgets, but it's up to you to figure it out; anything goes in this. Now pick out your three suckers and let's get the 'Clash of Boats' challenge underway! "
" I'll do it! " Deena cheered.
" you seem confident. " Ronnie joked.
" I don't know what got in to me, but I wanna go for it. " Deena replied.
" in that case, count me in too. " Pauly declared.
" I'm in too. " Alejandro added.
Courtney smiled. " I guess we have our volunteers, good luck guys. "
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
" I'm so riding that hydroplane. " Trent said. " It looks so cool. "
" I'm in too. " Heather replied.
" so am I. " Sammi added.
" awwww! Not cool, I wanted to ride that hydroplane. " Corey whined.
" guess we're going to take the backseat on this challenge. " Gwen murmured.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
" I'll handle that baby. " Vinny said.
Duncan smirked." Then I call shotgun. "
" then I'll be joining you mateys. " Izzy said.
Mike frowned. " There's no way I'm sitting here with this hamster. "
" bite me douchebag, I don't wanna stay with you either! " Angelina retorted.
" can you guys act like adults for once, geez. " Vinny groaned. " You're giving me a big ass headache. "
Mike and Angelina glared at each before both turned away with their arms crossed.
" guess not. "
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Chris eyed the volunteers. " Alright, take your places everyone. "
The nine players boarded their boats.
" wait! " Deena called out. " Is this a paddle? Are you serious, where's our engine? "
Chris sneered. " Hehe, that IS your engine. "
" so not cool bro. " Pauly muttered.
Chris brushed off their protests and continued his speech. " Now that you're all in place, let's do this. " He held up a gun. " On your- "
" whoa, is that a real gun? " Mike barked.
" oh this, of course not. " Chris replied. " Do you think I want to get sued by Courtney again? "
" hey, cut that out! I told you I'm not like that anymore! " Courtney growled.
" now can we begin now... " Chris spat irritated by the interruptions. " Good. "
" hey Chris. " Pauly called out.
" what now! "
" oh nothing, just wanted to annoy you. " This caused a set of laughs.
" nice one man. " Trent laughed.
Chris gritted his teeth. " Grrr... enough, it's challenge time! Now on your mark, get set and, GO! " Chris fired the gun.
The boats blasted forward with speed, well except for the Shell Bullets.
" we have to go faster! " Deena ordered.
" I'm paddling this shit as fast as I could! " Pauly retorted. " This is as fast as it gets. "
" esto es muy malo, we gotta do something. " Alejandro said. " We're losing by a lot. "
" I've got an idea. " Deena said. " We're going to hijack ourselves a better boat. "
Team Get Backers
" woohooo! " Trent cheered. " This thing is so fast! "
" easy Trent, we're not inside the damn cockpit y'kno! " Heather shouted.
" yeah Trent, you trying to throw us overboard or something, " Sammi added.
" sorry ladies. "
Suddenly their boat began getting hit.
" what's hitting us? " Trent called out.
" it's the Monster Sharks! Evasive maneuver Trent, now! " Heather ordered.
" gotcha! " Trent began steering his boat towards the left. " Doesn't this thing have any weapons? " In frustration Trent slammed his hand down on a button. Two sets of turrets appeared above.
" whoa, what's this? " Sammi asked.
" later Sam, it's time to fire back. " Heather answered.
" I wonder what they shoot? " Sammi wondered aloud and she pressed down on the trigger.
A flurry of coconuts started flying out.
" cool. "
Confessional
Sammi: the special effects are cool. These things sound so much like real guns
End of Confessional
" Heather, what does yours shoot? "
" apples. " Heather replied.
Team Monster Sharks
" damn it we're being hit! " Duncan growled.
" fire back with the rock shooter! " Vinny shouted as he steered the jet ski.
" hear ya loud and clear boss! " Izzy replied and she focused her turret. " Fire! "
Duncan pressed down on the trigger and the turret fired out rocks.
" eat my rocks! "
One of Team Get Backer's bullet hit Duncan's turret, causing it to malfunction.
" oh shit! " Duncan shouted, as the turret began to shoot out rocks by itself.
" get down matey! " Izzy ordered and she fired at the turret. It successfully stopped it but broke it in the process.
" hang on guys! We're making a turn! " Vinny yelled, as he made a turn.
" craaappp! " Duncan shouted as he slipped from his position.
" D-machine! " Izzy yelled. She jumped over and took a hold of his arm. " Hang on, I got you partner. "
" thanks crazy girl. " Duncan replied and he lifted himself back onto the jet ski.
" you guys alright? " Vinny called out.
" more or less. " Duncan replied.
They crossed the lap right behind Team Get Backer's hydroplane boat.
" I'll get payback for us. " Izzy said. " No one gets away with shooting at us. "
" careful Iz, we only have one weapon left. " Vinny warned. " Don't you go shooting half-assedly. "
They were to busy shooting that they didn't notice Team Red Shell Bullets sneaking up near to them.
Team Red Shell Bullets
" Now! " Deena shouted.
In a quick motion Alejandro and Pauly jumped over to the jet ski.
" what the hell? " Duncan said, but Alejandro quickly pushed him inside the water.
" hey! " Izzy shouted and she charged in for Alejandro, but Alejandro easily dodged her and she fell in the water.
" whoa, what are you doing? " Vinny barked.
Pauly shoved him onto the water. " We're hijacking you bitch, see ya! " He took the wheel and drove next to Deena. " Hop on! "
Alejandro extended his hand out and helped her on board. " You're a genius señorita. "
" thanks, now take the weapon and shoot down those Get Backers. "
Alejandro positioned the gun and began blasting the enemy.
At the other end, Team Get Backers were getting assaulted by the barrage of rocks.
" oh no! " Sammi said, as her turret was shot and broken. She backed up as it caused some sparks to fly out of it.
" damn, be careful Sam! " Trent yelled, from inside the cockpit.
" it's up to you Heather, take them out! "
" actually guys... I'm out of ammo. "
Team Red Shell Bullets were now catching up thanks to their new boat.
" they're not shooting at us, they must be out of ammo. " Pauly stated. " Now's our chance! "
" Alejandro take out their motor! " Deena said.
" way ahead of you. " Alejandro replied. He began shooting down his target.
Trent tried to dodge it, but the motor began smoking.
" oh no, not good. " Sammi said. " Our motor won't hold out! "
" damn it, we're so close to the finish line! " Heather shouted. " Now if we get hit we gotta pull a grand theft auto and jump out. "
The finishing point was getting closer and closer.
" alright, we're almost there. Alejandro wrap it up so we can win this already. " Deena said.
" I'm on it amigos. " Alejandro aimed the turret towards the enemy, but stopped when he noticed the fire coming out of the enemy boat.
Heather...
If he shot, that thing would really blow up and hurt her... nah, it wouldn't. Besides, she's dealt with worse... right? She could handle it.
" take them out Alejandro. " Deena said.
Shoot, shoot, shoot.
" Alejandro hurry, what are you waiting for? "
Just shoot, just shoot, just shoot.
" Alejandro! "
Just shoot, just shoot, just shoot.
His hands dropped to his sides and that was all it took for the Get Backers to speed up and reach the finish point.
" There you have it people, Team Get Backers has won first class! "
" aww yeah! " Corey cheered and he rushed over to his team along with Gwen.
" nice job winning first class team. " Gwen said.
Trent hopped off the cockpit. " I could've sworn we'd lose, oh well we got lucky I guess. "
" yeah, I wonder. " Heather muttered.
" Team Red Shell Bullets wins second class and you Monster Sharks win third class. "
" just great! " Mike complained.
" now back to the boat! "
On the boat Alejandro quickly dragged himself towards the second class, ignoring his teammates stares.
" okay losers, get on over to the deck. " Chris ordered as he headed over there himself.
" do you think it'll be a random elimination again? " Vinny asked.
" beats me, it could be. " Duncan answered.
The Monster Sharks arrived over to the deck where Chris was waiting.
" okay losers, one of you is biting the dust, or in this case the sea. " Chris joked, laughing to himself. The others rolled their eyes. " So it's elimination time. "
" hey, I don't see that weird machine. " Vinny said.
Chris chuckled. " That's because this will be a regular elimination, now you know the drill. "
Confessionals
Vinny: sweet! It's my lucky day and do you know why, cos' I'm definitely not going home
Mike: I can't believe our asses lost. Now we gotta go in wack third class. Oh well, least I ain't going home
Angelina: I hope Mike leaves, I don't care about third class
Duncan: I know we lost, but it definitely wasn't my fault. I shouldn't be going home
Izzy: did you see me in action, I was like wooo!
End of Confessionals
" let's see who's getting their butts kicked out of here. " Chris said. " Okay... the first seaweed on a stick goes to, Duncan. C'mon up here. "
" sweetness! " Duncan took the seaweed on a stick and sat back down.
" now, I got another one here for Vinny. "
" yeah baby, that's how Vinny does it. " Vinny happily grabbed the seaweed on a stick.
" and one for you Izzy. "
" booyah! That's what Izzy's talking bout. " Izzy cheered and she took the stick from Chris. She gave Vinny a high five before sitting down.
" Mikey, Angelina, one of you is about to go home. " Chris taunted. " The final seaweed on a stick goes to... "
...

" Mike! "
" yes! " Mike cheered.
" WHAT? " Angelina shouted.
" sorry, but game over. " Chris replied. " The plank of shame awaits. "
Angelina sighed sadly. " I guess this is it. "
" don't worry Angelina, you played awesome. " Izzy reassured with a smile.
" yeah cheer up, don't be a baby Ange. " Duncan added.
Vinny placed his hand on her shoulder. " Like I said before, after this thing finishes, we'll throw a big party; you're invited too. "
" heh, thanks. I'll miss you guys. " Angelina said with a small smile. She faced Mike and softly laughed. " I'll only miss insulting you Mike. "
" ahh hit the road. " Mike said, but with no actual anger.
Chris turned to the camera. " There you have it people, another episode is done. Team Get Backers won the advantage in the first challenge and won the last challenge as well, with a little help from Alejandro that is. Stay tune for more Total Drama Around the World! "
