Christian and Annie just sat their across each other,staring. "So," Christian said,awkwardly.

"So," Annie replied.

"Okay... Maybe we could talk about the alliance,since you OBVIOUSLY brought us down in the last challenge."

"Did not!" she yelled defensively.

Christian smirked."Please...You positively SUCK at singing."

Annie laughed. "I know. Elizabeth got the singing. I got the strength. For instance-" She punched rubbed his arm,it actually hurt. He laughed. "Is fighting the only way for us to be nice to each other?" she asked.

Christian laughed. "I guess."

Annie smiled." But...Why did you come to get me?"

Christian stopped laughing. "I don't know...I guess seeing you in that crowd talking about your dad...I know you have problems with your dad and all...I just thought maybe if you could face your fear of crowds,maybe you can forget about your dad."

Annie looked down. "Why do you care?"

He shrugged."I don't know."

"Oh."

Christian sighed. "I know about terrible dads okay?"

"What did your dad do?"

"He..." Christian groaned.

"What?"

"I... I don't want to talk about it okay?"

Annie stood up. "Why not?"

"It's just...I don't want to talk about it!" He yelled.

"Why are you so angry!" she yelled back.

"Because you're being annoying!"

"I just want to know!"

Christian glared at her. "It's none of your business!"

The elevator started to move again,but they paid no attention. "So what?"

"So what?" The elevator stopped. "So what? You're like everyone else. Just leave me alone!"

"Fine." The elevator doors opened and Annie walked out. Before she left the building,she face the angry Christian. "I don't know why,but when I told you about my dad, a small part of me thought...that I...could..." She tried,but couldn't finish her sentence. " I was wrong." She left Christian to steam amongst himself.

Christian just stayed and did what he always did when people brought up his parents to calm himself down. He sat down,screamed into his hands,and bit his hands until he felt pain. Today, he didn't feel any better.

*With Neveah*

Neveah was almost jumping out of her seat. As a blond girl finished her terrible singing and the host came on stage to announce Nickolas. "Go Nickolas!" she yelled,louder than everyone else in the room.

Nickolas winked at her and sat down at a piano. "Some things,we don't talk about,rather do without,and just hold a smile. Falling,in and out of love,ashamed and proud of together all the while."

Neveah clapped loudly. Scott sneaked up and tapped her on her shoulder. "Hey."

Neveah quickly spinned around. "Hey! Isn't he amazing?" she asked.

"Yes," Scott growled.

"So what are you doing here?"

"I signed up for the show."

"So that's what you spent your money on?"

Scott sighed. "Yeah. What did you spend it on?"

"That," Neveah said while pointing to Nickolas. "I think he will win. He is an incredible singer." She smiled,but Scott frowned. He decided it was time to change his talent.

Meanwhile,Nickolas was finishing up. "Don't let me go. Don't let me go. Don't let me...go." The crowd gave him a standing ovation as he walked off.

"Looks like we have a crowd favorite!" The host said. "Now here comes Scott on the dru-"

"Actually," Scott interrupted. "I will be singing."

"Okay then. Scott everybody!"

As Scott took the mic the crowd clapped,Neveha was the loudest. "So I'm gonna sing a song called If It KIlls Me by Jason Mraz." He nodded to guy who started playing piano. "Hello. Tell me you know,yeah. You've figured me out.

Something gave it away" He fixed his eyes on Neveah.

"And it would be such a beautiful moment

To see the look on your face

To know that I know that you know now

And baby that's the case of my wishful thinking

You know nothing

Well you and I

Why,we go carrying on for hours on end

We get along much better than your boyfriend

Well all I really want to do is love you

a kind much closer than friends do

But still I can't say it after all we've been through

And all I really want from you if to feel me

As the feeling inside keeps building

And I will find a way to you if it kills me

If it kills me." As he stopped singing the crowd applauded. Scott grinned in satisfaction,thinking it was more claps than Nickolas'.

As he stepped down Neveah ran to him and hugged him. "That was awesome!" she yelled. "Why didn't you tell me you were such a good singer!"

Scott blushed. "Well-"

"Hey man," Nickolas said as he came up to Scott. "You were great."

"Thanks," Scott whispered.

Nickolas smiled. "Anyway-"

"Nickolas?" A girl about eight-teen said.

Nickolas turned around. "Karen? You came!" He ran up and kissed her. "See ya later guys," he said to Neveah and Scott as he walked away with Karen.

Neveah waved. Scott just stood there,jaw dropped. "What the- I though he was- Why did he just-"

"They're cute aren't they?" Neveah asked.

"I THOUGHT HE WAS YOUR BOYFRIEND!" Scott yelled.

Neveah burst out laughing. "Nickolas? HE'S MY BROTHER!"

"Oh. " He felt very stupid.

"Besides," Neveah said while taking his hand. "If he was my boyfriend I wouldn't have kissed you."

"So you did want to kiss me," Scott said flirtatiously.

Neveah smiled. "Kinda." She leaned up and kissed him.

"Wait," Scott broke away. "Does this mean we're...dating?"

Neveah blushed."I guess."

"Alright!" He kissed her again.

*With Danny and Kate*

Danny and Kate stood there at the window,staring at an almost sweating,John. Well, Danny was,Kate was staring at the burner in the middle of the table. Danny noticed and smirked. "I bet you can't have dinner there without freaking out."

"Oh no," Kate said. "You are not going to TRICK me into going into that fire hazard. I'M going to a safety seminar."

Danny shrugged and walked toward the door. "Okay...Chicken."

"Not working!"

"Wimp. Coward, Scaredy-"

"Let's go," Kate said while pushing past Danny.

As Danny and Kate took seats across from Julia and John,John sighed. "So," John said. "Let's order."

"Yes," Julia said. "Let's...order," she almost growled.

*Kate Confessional*

"I don't think Julia wants me to eat with her..."

*End*

After waiting twenty minutes in silence all four of them wanted to leave. But neither one didn't know how to say it. "So," John said.

"So," Julia said.

"H-here's the food," Danny said. A waiter came bearing three plates of raw meet.

"We-We're supposed to...eat this?" Julia asked.

The waiter laughed. "No ma'am." He flicked on the burner on the table. "See?"

Julia clapped. "Ooh!"

John smiled . "I knew you'd like this place." Julia turned to him and smiled back.

Kate,on the other hand,was on the verge of passing out. "Th-that's v-very...hot."

"Are you scared?" Danny asked.

"No!" she yelled.

The waiter took out a bottle. "You all will want to see this." He poured some of the liquid onto the burner,making a flame. Danny shrugged. John,and Julia clapped,but Kate fainted and fell off of her chair.

Danny got out and checked her pulse. "Just a little woosey I guess."

"She looks hurt," Julia said.

Danny shook his head. "I think all she needs is fresh air."

"I'll take her outside!" John said.

"No," Danny said. "I'll do it. You two stay." Danny slung Kate over his shoulder and took her outside.

As he left,John sighed. "Well that was-"

"Interesting?" Julia said.

"Yeah," John said. "Shall we eat ma'lady?" He said while bowing.

Julia bowed."We shall sir."

*With Demi and Raine*

Demi lightly jumped out of the metro station and onto the New York fumbled out. "I don't know how people do that everyday," he said.

"It's so much fun!" Demi yelled. "Want to go again?"

"No," Raine said. "no I'm good."

Demi frowned and looked around the city until she spotted Macie. "Look it's Macie. Hey Macie!" She waved to her and her friend.

macie's face turned red. Sarah snickered. "Who are your friends Mace?" She laughed. "They look...common."

Macie growled. "I don't know them at all!" She turned her head.

"Hey Macie!" Demi yelled. Macie said nothing. Demi sighed and pulled Raine and herself toward Macie. "Macie! Whats up?"

Sarah giggled again. "So you do know ..." She studied the two of them. "Well we don't want to be rude do we?" She said to Macie. Macie gulped. "Why don't you come along with us?" She said to Raine. Raine rolled his eyes.

But Demi,unaware that she was being ignored said," Sure!"

Macie groaned and pushed Demi and Raine away from Sarah. "Listen!" She yelled at them. "Unlike you two,Sarah and I are upperclass,which means we don't want care about your stories from back on the farm! Now if you embarass me and ruin my friendship with Sarah, my social life will be RUINED! And if I'm ruined you're ruined! So I expect you to just shut up and smile. GOT IT!" Raine and Demi nodded their heads in fear. "Good." Macie turned back to Sarah. "Shall we go then?"

Sarah smiled and led to way. Before following her,Macie glared back at Demi and Raine. As she looked away Demi and Raine sighed in relief. "Do you live on a farm?" Demi asked. Raine shook his head. "Me neither."

*An hour later*

Raine sighed as he sat,bored out of his mind,in the designer clothes store. He tried to ignore the eyes of interested girls and some guys. Macie was extremely nervous, finding that everything costed more the the hundred dollars she earned. Sarah,and Demi seemed to be the only ones having fun. They tried on tons of clothes and put them on a pile on a couch. "That's so cute!" Demi exclaimed as Sarah twirled in a glittering gold dress.

"Gorgeous," Macie said.

"I know," Sarah said. "I think I'll take it." As the the three of them walked to the counter with the dress Sarah squealed and picked up a strap silver sandals. "Oh Demitria! This is perfect for you!"

"You think?" Demi said.

"Duh," She said. "You should buy it."

"Um..Okay." Demi took the sandals carefully.

Raine almost jumped for joy as he saw the three girls at the counter. "So we're going right? Like right now right?"

"Yeah. After we pay," Demi said. She gave the cashier the sandals. "So how much? 40, 45 dollars?"

The cashier laughed. "These designer sandals are 115 dollars."

"WHAT!" Demi yelled. " I-I don't have that kind of money. They're just shoes!" The whole store gasped,except Demi and Raine.

"I knew it," Sarah said. "Mace," She turned to Macie. "Your friends are not like us. Which means YOU'RE not like us. I think I'll have to excuse you from the country club."

Macie gasped. "Y-You can't do that! Their not even my friends!"

"Oh please," Sarah said while picking up her cell phone. "You probably met them at a Walmart."

"Actually we are all on Total Drama Fame and Fortune together," Raine said.

" Total drama?" Sarah retorted. "That sorry excuse for television? I always knew you were pathetic Mace."

Raine and Demi stared at eachother in shock. Macie's hands balled up into a fist. "You little bi-" She punched her before she could finish.

"Ooh..Catfight!" The cashier said.

*With Jamie and Sean*

Sean stared carefully at the food Jamie was holding out to him. "So..You..Eat it?" They were the only ones in possession of the food in the porch of resturant they were eating at.

"Yes you it!" Jamie said. "What,you've never eaten a hotdog before?"

Sean continued to stare at the hotdog. "No."

Jamie's mouth opened in shock. Then she quickly covered Sean's mouth with her hand. "Don't tell anyone that!" She looked around at the tables next to theirs. "It's unamerican," she whispered.

Sean rolled his eyes at took her hand off his mouth. "Fine I'll eat it. Just tell me what it's made out of." Jamie shrugged. "Then I'm not eating it."

Jamie sighed. "Nobody knows what it's made out of. That's the point."

"But I have to know what I'm putting in my body before-"

"Shhh," Jamie said. "You know what I said about not always knowing everything? Well this is-"

"Actually you talked about not following a plan," Sean corrected.

"Whatever," Jamie said. "Let's just start with eating this. Open up!" Sean closed his mouth tighter as Jamie held the hot dog to his mouth. Aft a minute of trying to push it into his mouth,Jamie gave up. "Fine! I'll eat it...Baby."

"Ugh...Fine." Sean took the hotdog from her hand and took a bite. He struggled to get it down his throat. Jamie smiled as he swallowed the peice. "Yuck...I need something gourmet. Let's just order something.

"Sure," Jamie said. Then she gobbled up the rest of the hotdog. She looked at the menu then check her pockets for cash. "Tar tar sauce! I spent the rest of my money on the hotdog. Can you pay?"

Sean smirked. "Now it's time for me to teach you something." As the waitress came,Sean studied her. She was a brunette,about 17,and her eyes were wet from crying,probably from a break-up.

"What...Is ...your...order?" she said between sniffles.

Sean closed his menu. "Yes,I'll have the-" He turned to her with fake-sympathy. "Oh...what's wrong?"

The waitress covered her eyes. "M-My boyfriend...broke up with me! I thought we had something special."

"Well he is an idiot to have let such a pretty girl get away," Sean said. The waitress blushed. "If I was him, I'd be running back to you right now." He took her hand. "He doesn't deserve you."

The waitress uncovered her eyes and stared at him . "Are you trying to make me feel better, or are you hitting on me?"

"Guess," He said. The waitress giggled. "Ice tea and tiramisu for me,please."

"Uhh...Chocolate ice cream please," Jamie said.

"Right away. "The waitress said. She stared at Sean as she left.

"That was a shocking performance," Jamie said. "So what's it for?"

"Free dessert," Sean said as he leaned back in his chair.

"I don't know if it's going to work though."

"And you also don't know that you just ordered off of the kiddie menu. Here she comes."

"Chocolate ice cream for the girl and ice tea and tiramisu for the...boyfriend."

"He's not my boyfriend," Jamie said.

"Oh!" the waitress said happily. "Then you're free tonight..."

"Jacob," Sean lied. "And you are free too?"

"Yeah! Tonight,here, then?" Sean shook his head. "Good enjoy! That will be 20 dollars."

"Okay." Sean took out his wallet. "Oh no. I only have a ten. Gosh I'm such an idiot."

"It's okay!" The waitress yelled. "There's a special...discount today. It's free. Enjoy."

"Thanks," Sean said. "See you tonight."

"See you tonight,Jacob!" She said as she walked away.

"Jacob?" Jamie asked.

"My discount name." He took a bite of his tiramisu.

*With Nate and Amy*

"So let me get this straight," Nate said as he was still sitting with Amy at the cafe table. "You want my help to break Vince and Tonia apart?"Amy nodded. "You want us to work together? To split them apart? And you are doing this because you want to help me get Tonia." Amy nodded again. "No offense,but I barely know you."

"Y-You know my n-name i-i-is Amy," she said.

"I also know you stutter,but we barely talk at all. Why are you asking for my help?"

Amy shrugged. "Y-you and T-Tonia."

Nate smirked. "You sneaky girl. You want me to get Tonia out of the way so you can have Vince all to yourself."

Amy shook her head. "I-It's n-not like t-that."

"I think it's exactly that." He put his head in front of hers and stared at her. "You like Vince." Amy's face turned red and she pulled away. "I knew it! Your ashamed to admit it."

Amy tried to cover her red face. "Shut up," she whispered.

He didn't pay attention. "That's why you've been cutting between those two all the time-"

"Shut up," She said.

"But you don't want him to know-"

"I said shut up!"

Nate continued to ignore her. "But of course,Tonia's more outgoing than you-"

"SHUT UP!" Amy yelled. Nate finally noticed her anger. "I should have n-never asked you for help." She walked out of the cafe.

She sat on the curb,trying to clear her head. Soon Nate sat next to her. "I'll help you." Amy turned her head. "If you can help me with Tonia and I'll help you with Vince." He saw she wasn't going to forgive him. "I'm sorry." Amy finally smiled and shook his hand.

"I-It's a d-d-deal."

*With Alex and Elizabeth*

"So."Elizabeth said to Alex and the girl wrapped around his arm.

"Times Square sure is beautiful isn't it?" Alex asked.

"It sure is honey!" Scarlet,the girl with her hands wrapped around his arm said.

They said nothing until a woman came to their table to talk to Alex and Scarlet. "Would you to lovebirds like to join our couples' game? Only 25 dollars each to enter. The prize is one hundred dollars!" She said while handing them a clipboard.

Alex shook his head. "No thanks I-"

"Alex," Elizabeth said. "You two should do it. You are dating right?" She said suspiciously. "Right?"

"Of course." Scarlet said. "Let's do it Alex," She said while taking the clipboard and signing their names.

"Great," The woman said. "Let's go!" She took Alex and Scarlet both by the wrists and toward a stage in the middle of Times Square. "Okay people!" She said to a microphone. "We now have just enough people to start the game. Wooh!" The audience clapped and cheered. Elizabeth snuck in to watch in the front row. "Now let's introduce our couples!" She went on to talk to all the people on stage. When she got to Scalet and Alex. "Hello..."

"Scarlet."

"Alex."

"Hello Scarlet and Alex! So how did you two meet?"

She gave the mic to Alex. "Well...Uh...A few months ago I ran away from home and was hanging around this building. It turned out to be a photography studio,she was interning at and,well she helped me through a lot of stuff...We've been best friends ever since."

The host took the mic back. "So your just friends?"

Elizabeth smiled,until Scarlet took the mic. "But! Later something just clicked...and we uh...started dating!" Elizabeth frowned.

"aww! Isn't that sweet!" The host said. "Let's start with the first challenge! That kissing challenge!" Alex and Scarlet both flinched. The screen started to appear on the stage. "We have some home movies to share with you all. And the last four couples who can continue kissing,without laughing for the longest time will go on to the next round. The game starts...NOW!" The screen popped up,showing infinite videos of people falling down. All the other couples started to kiss except Scarlet and Alex,they just stayed there,sweating like crazy. "Come on kiss!" The host said to them. "Or you two are disqualified!" They looked around them to see people staring at them,Elizabeth too.

Alex slowly leaned in until Scarlet squealed and backed away. "Alex I can't!" For a brief moment Time Square almost seemed silent.

"Why not?" The host asked.

"Because I have a boyfriend," she said. She took Alex's hand. "I know we promised eachother,we wouldn't fall in love,but when you left for the show I met this guy and I decided how stupid our promise was. That's why I can't do it. Elizabeth!" She turned to Elizabeth. "Elizabeth I'm sorry,but the only reason I did this is because Alex made me do it!"

"I know," Elizabeth said.

"Scarlet!" Alex said.

Scarlet turned to him. "I'm sorry Alexander Mcclean,but you have to accept that you can't run away from everything." She turned to Elizabeth who was by now running away. "And that you have to after some things." She pointed to Elizabeth and Alex turned to her. She was running away from him,and just bumped into a man on the street. "Go after her!" Scarlet yelled.

Alex just stood there. He looked out and saw that she sat down on the stage. "She got away."

*With Elizabeth*

Elizabeth stared sadly outside the window of Starbucks. "Hey," a voice came from behind her. She turned around to see it was Annie. "How come you didn't get anything?"

"Some lowlife pit-pocketed me outside," she said. "I got nothing."

Annie smiled. "well luckily I had enough change for two." She pulled out two cups of black coffee.

"Yum," Elizabeth said sarcasticly.

Annie put a hand on her shoulder. "What's wrong?"

Elizabeth pulled away. "Alex...He...I thought he was different...That he actually liked me...but he's just like everyone else...just trying to get rid of me."

Annie frowned. "That's not true."

"It is true!" Elizabeth yelled. "Nobody likes me! I'm alone."

Annie put both of her hands on Elizabeth cheeks and looked at her sincerely. "Listen to me. I love you. Our brother and mother both love you. You are NOT alone. I am ALWAYS here for you." She took her hands away and picked up her coffee. "Besides. We don't need anyone else other than ourselves." She took a sip and closed her eyes. "We don't need anymore heartbreak."

Elizabeth sighed. "That's what you think." She pour some milk into her coffee,then hugged Annie. "But thanks anyway."

*With Haden*

"I'm buying a ticket for Saturday Night Live please," Haden said while showing some of his money. The man at the ticket stand took it and gave him two tickets. "Oh I'm sorry,but I'm just buying one ticket."

"Sorry no refunds," The guy said. "Take a friend." Then he closed the ticket stand.

"A friend," Haden said. He looked around and saw Vince. He walked up to him. "Vink what's up?"

"Vince," he corrected.

"So do you want to see a...show with me?"

Vince turned to him. "I'm not gay."

"Umm,good for you?" Haden said, "That was random. Anyway,how about that show?"

Vince sighed. "Sure. I'll go."

"Go where?" Tonia asked.

"Saturday Night Live," Haden said.

"Can I come?" She asked.

"Uh sure I guess," Haden said. "It's getting late,we should go."

"Guys wait!" Hana yelled as she was running toward them. "W-What are you doing?"

"We're going to see Saturday Night Live!" Tonia said.

*An hour later*

"Hey Tonia can you hold this?" Haden asked,showing his two tickets. "You guys can go inside I'll try to snag some tickets."

Tonia took them. "Umm...Okay. Vince come on!" She took his hand and they walked inside.

"Guys wait!" Hana yelled. She sighed and took Haden's hand. "Let's go."

"But we don't have tickets!" Haden said.

"We don't need them. Let's go," she said.

Haden gasped. "You mean sneak in?" he whispered.

Hana sighed. "Yeah. Let's go."

*Hana Confessional*

"I decided to humor him a bit!"

*With Tonia and Vince*

"Are you sure we should've left them?" Vince asked.

"They'll be fine," Tonia said. "Don't you remember? Her cousin works here."

*With Haden and Hana*

Haden jumped into the hall holding his hands in karate chop form. "We have to be sneaky," he whispered. He peered down the hall and saw a stage-hand coming. "Shh!" He yelled. He pushed himself onto a wall as the stage-hand passed. "Let's go go go!" He ran down the hall and motioned Hana to come.

"This is..." Hana laughed and followed him,but stopped when she saw he was holding Dana Carvey hostage.

He had him up a wall with his hand on his mouth. "Shh," He said. He carefully pinched his shoulder and walked away as Dana Carvey fell on the floor,alseep.

"What did you do!" Hana yelled.

"He was about to let us go! We don't need anyone giving us away. So he's gonna be taking a nap until the end of t"

Hana groaned. "He's the host!"

"Say what?"

"Besides they is no letting us go because WE DID NOT SNEAK IN HERE!"

"Say what WHAT?"

"My cousin works here and that's why we got in for free. I just decided to let you play your game,because it was funny. But this is too far."

Haden looked down at Dana Carvey. "So this is the host...I just knocked him out..."

"Hey there's Carvey!" A security guard yelled. He ran over and saw he was asleep. He turned to Haden and Hana."You two are definately out of here!"It only took five minutes for him to pick up Haden and Hana,and throw them outside.

Hana sighed. "Knocking out the host...Not your best move...Welll at least you didn't punched him...I'm going to the airport."

Haden stared at the door they were thrown out of. "Hey...I MADE YOU LAUGH!" he just realized. Hana's face turned red.

*At the airport*

"I don't know why you're mad at me," Maddie said to Khione. "I honestly don't."

"Let's see," Khione said. "Why would I ever be mad at you? Oh that's right! You tried to get me fired!"

"I did not!"

"Then why were you calling the producers?"

"I wasn't!"

"Then who were you calling?"

"My mom!" Maddie yelled.

"Oh," Khione said. "I-I'm sorry."

Maddie crossed her arms. "Should I forgive you?"

"Yes."

"Why."

"Uhh." Khione reached into her pocket. "Because I have candy?" She held out some gummy bears.

Maddie smiled and took them. "Thanks." She hugged 's phone then rang. She pulled away to answer it. It was a text. "Who's that?"

"Just a comment on the new show I'm hosting."

"New show?"

"Yeah,Totally Interviewed. I didn't tell you?" Maddie shook her head. "You're mad aren't you."

"Yeah!" She slapped Khione in the back on her head. She looked at her watch. "Two o'clock. Time to go."

Whoo! Finally done! Bye bye New york. The next challenge is somewhere in Canada and there will be singing!

So you guys need to tell me marching/fighting songs that you want your character to sing. I might do groups because not all of you review,but more than one song suggestion is preferred. I might use them for the other characters.

If you don't know what song to pick let me tell you what I would have picked. 'Marchin on' and 'Uprising'. But you know,pick your whatever marching/fighting song you want.
