"I am soooo tired," Khione said as the two co-host walked to their hotel.
"From what?" Maddie asked. "Doing nothing all day?"
"Are you kidding?" Khione asked. "I was stuck shopping with Beth and Lindsay! That show is my salvation,Maddie. SALVATION!"
Maddie chuckled as she opened the door to the hotel. "I wonder how the contestants are doing?"
"You didn't leave them alone with Chris and Chef now did you?" A voice asked. The two recognized the voice. It was Gwen,her hands on her hips,and standing next to her friend,Bridget.
Khione jumped. "It's you guys!" She ran over to them and hugged them.
Maddie frowned. "Hey Bridget." She crossed her arms. "Gwendolyn."
Gwen crossed her arms. "Hello,Madeliene."
*Confessionals*
Khione: Khione slapped her forehead. "I hate it when those two are together. They always end up fighting. I don't how it happened though. Maddie met everyone before I did. For some reason,everyone hate her, except for a few of them...I wonder why that is?" Khione pouted. "Nobody tells me anything!"
*End*
The two glared at each other until Khione broke them apart. "So why are so many Total Drama people here?"
"Well," Gwen said. "A friend of ours is having a party for all of us." She turned to Khione. "Do YOU want to go?"
Bridget sighed. She turned to Maddie. "You can come too. If you want..."
"It okay," she replied. "I have something else I need to do."
Bridget smiled. "Oh well. Come on Khione,let's go."
Khione looked strangely at Maddie,then she turned to Bridget. "Okay. See you later Maddie."
Maddie waved goodbye. As soon as they were out of sight,Maddie took out her phone and called Chester. "Hey! You can come in now."
He walked into the hotel and saw Maddie chatting with two guys. "Hey," he said.
Maddie turned around. "Hi!" She pointed to the two guys. "I'd like you to meet Justin and Alejandro. They're going to help you with the practice date."
"So," Alejandro said. "Let's position ourselves to the restaurant where there's a lovely lady waiting for you."
Justin rolled his eyes. "Of course YOU think she's lovely."
Alejandro grimaced. "Shut up."
Justin snickered. Maddie took Chester's hand and pulled him to the restaurant.
*At the party*
"Oh no,"Khione said. "Why didn't you tell me this was Lindsay's party?"
"Oh that? It seemed to have slipped our mind," Gwen lied.
"But let's just have fun!" Bridget exclaimed.
Khione smiled. "Yeah! I'm going to get a soda. Do you guys want any?"
"Sure! Get us some!"
"Alright!" She turned to the crowd. "LET'S PARTY!"
"WOOH!" The crowd replied.
"Alright!" Khione went to get the soda. When she came back,she frowned. Gwen was with Duncan,making out. And Bridget was with Geoff,making out. Khione sighed and walked away,handing the soda to some strangers. While exploring the huge mansion the party was in,Khione ran into Owen and Dj. The two were wear swim trunks. "Hey guys!"
"Hi Khione!" Owen said. "Wanna go for a swim?"
"I don't know. I don't have a swimsuit."
"There's a jacuzzi," Dj said.
Khione linked the two boys' arms with her's. "Let's go!"
*At the hotel*
"H-hi," Chester said nervously. He waved nervously too.
Courtney slapped his hands away."Not like that,stupid!"
"Ow!" he replied. "Remind me why you all are here?" He asked pointing to Justin,Alejandro,Heather,and Courtney.
"Because," Justin said. He put an arm on Maddie's shoulder. "She paid us twenty bucks to help you on your date with Khione. The beautiful Courtney is helping you with table manners,the seductive Alejandro is helping you with the romantic stuff, the wonderful me is helping you with wardrobe,and Heather here is your practice date."
"Why does everyone get a good adjective except me?" Heather snarled.
Justin groaned. "Fine,the wicked Heather."
"You!" Heather jumped to claw is face.
Alejandro grabbed her hands. "Heather don't ruin your perfect dress,by destroying that jerk. You're beautiful and wonderful,no matter what he says." He turned to Chester. "Are you listening?"
Chester sighed. "I don't need this." He turned around,hands in his pockets,and walked away.
"You guys are terrible at this," Maddie said. She ran after Chester. "Wait!'
She finally caught up to him when they got out of the hotel.
"What?" He said.
"Why are you leaving?" Maddie asked.
"I thought you wanted me to go out with your friend. I didn't think you would just ASSUME I was so terrible at dating that you would get this date crew!"
"I just thought that if you were that desperate to go on a date that was set up by a stranger-"
"The reason I took that offer," Chester butt in. "Was because I'm just visiting Paris,and I thought that I would do something spontaneous."
Maddie crossed her arms. "That's total cheese."
Chester frowned.
"We need some crackers for that cheese!" she joked.
Chester turned around. "See ya."
"Wait!" She spun him around. "I'm sorry I took assumptions. How about some food. On me. Then I'll really get to now you and tell you a bit about Khione."
Chester smiled. He link the girl's arm with his. "Let's go!"
*At the party*
"I lovin' this place!" Khione yelled. Even if it was Lindsay's party,she was enjoying herself. She hopped out of the jacuzzi and soon saw Gwen ad Bridget sitting around a table. "Hey guys!"
Bridget turned her head. "Hey!" She motioned her to sit down. Khione took a seat between her and Cody. Around the table was Bridget, Geoff, Cody,Gwen, Trent, Duncan, and Lindsay. "We're playing a little truth or dare. Care to join us?"
"Umm. Sure." She took a piece of popcorn from the bowl in the middle of the table.
"Okay," Duncan said. "Khione truth or dare?"
"Truth."
Duncan rubbed his chin. "Khione have you done a little,you know?" He put his hand above his mouth,forming an imaginary bottle,and pretending to drink from it.
Khione scratched her head. "Umm..."
"Ha!" Duncan laughed. "I knew it! You're turn."
Khione sighed. "Gwen." Gwen perked up. "Why do you all hate Maddie so much?" It was a question that had been on her mind for a while now.
This time Gwen scratched her head. Khione saw that everyone else was acting strange. "Don't you know?" Geoff asked. "Maddie's evil!"
"What?" Khione was shocked. "Are you serious?"
Cody nodded. "She is."
"But..." Khione couldn't believe it. "Are we talking about the same person?"
"Indeed," Gwen said. "Why do you think her only friends are Justin,Alejandro,Heather,and Courtney,the only evil people in the show?"
Khione was speechless.
"Maddie used to be Blaineley's apprentice after she became host of that show, Reputation Destroyer." Khione remembered that show. She saw some of it that other day. It was a show that destroyed people's reputations by publicly embarrassing them on t.v. Blaineley was the host of it. "She used to help Blaineley embarrass the victims."
"But I never saw her on t.v." Khione did shamefully watch the show in her free time. "And besides,Maddie always hated that show."
"That's because Blaineley fired her," Bridget said. "For being TOO good."
"What do you mean, too good."
Lindsay put a hand on Khione's. "Maddie didn't just hurt people for t.v. She did it to people whenever they messed with her." Lindsay sniffed. "She glued my lips together by giving me glue instead of lip gloss!"
"She broke my guitar," Trent said mournfully. "And it was signed,by Slash!"
"My parents hate me now because of her," Bridget said.
"They think I got her pregnant!" Geoff said.
"She stole my sister's fiance," Cody said. He took a piece of popcorn.
"She squealed on me and got me in juvie," Duncan said. "For the fourth time!"
"My poem was supposed to be published in a real book," Gwen said. "But SHE ruined my résumé."
Khione couldn't believe it. Was this really the Maddie she knew? "How did you know it was her?"
Cody gave her a white card. "She would always leave these on our doorstep."
Khione read it. 'She what happens when you screw me over.-Maddie' It was Maddie's handwriting,but was a little shaky. Khione threw it on the table. "No! I can't believe this!"
"Believe it honey," Gwen said. "Did you know that you were originally supposed to be the only host?"
"No that's not possible!" Khione snapped. "I-I didn't come to the show until Maddie was already there! see the commercials!"
"But you audition was before the commercial wasn't it?" Trent reasoned.
"Yeah," Khione said. 'But but."
Gwen put a hand on her shoulder. "If Maddie already got the job as a co-host,she's not far from being the ONLY host,now is she?"
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying,watch your back." Gwen popped a piece of popcorn into her mouth.
Khione looked down. All of this,it was so weird. Maddie was her friend. Khione couldn't imagine her stealing her job,but then she remembered New York. She felt a buzzing in her pocket. Khione picked it up. It was a text from Maddie. 'How's the party? See you later tonight!'
"Speak of the devil," Duncan said as he saw the text.
*Maddie*
Maddie sighed as she closed her cell phone. "This is wrong," she said to herself. "This is totally wrong." She took a look around Chester's hotel suite. "So wrong."
*Maddie Confessional*
"So after eating with Chester we chatted a bit. I found out that he's a funny,sweet, cute,care free guy! He's a dream,but he's Khione's date! He offered me to watch a movie at his suite. Why did I say yes?"
*End*
"Do you want some water?" Chester asked.
Maddie just sat on the living room couch,her hands cupped on her legs. "Nope. N-n-no thanks."
Chester shrugged and sat next to her. "Don't be nervous. I won't bite." He took the remote and turned the movie on.
"Oh," Maddie said. " horror movie. Typical. What are you trying to pull?"
"Nothing!" he said defensively. "It's just a movie your friend Chris starred in,The Night of the Badminton."
"Oh." Maddie leaned back. "Okay then." It seemed innocent enough,but as Khione was finding out,Maddie was far from innocent.
It was true because half an hour in,Chester had his arm around her,and she didn't mind. Was she insane?
Maddie could say yes about twenty minutes later,when she had back to the floor,and Chester's lips were sucking her neck,then to her lips. She closed,her eyes,trying to wipe away the guilt. It was the truly a guilty pleasure.
*The next morning*
After a night of partying, Khione found herself asleep in the mansion. She rubbed her eyes and tried to recollect her memories. After the gang told her their secret,she continued to party,and at some point,bumped her head. She rubbed the sore spot on her head. "Oh shit," she said to herself. "Maddie's probably missing me. I should-I should get to the hotel. Maddie's..." Khione thought about Maddie. Was she really as evil as the others said? Khione wasn't the most trusting person,but something about what they said seemed true. When she got the job they said the show would start in february,but it started in January. Now it seemed suspicious.
Khione decided to go to the hotel anyway. When the cab pulled up to the hotel,Khione hurried to her their two bedroom suite. She opened the door. The room was empty,untouched. She looked through each room,and nothing. She felt her phone buzz in her pocket. She picked it up-another text from Maddie. 'Sorry I didn't come 2 the hotel yesterday. I was busy. I think u should cancel that date tonight. Hes not the one-Maddie'
"Speak of the devil," Khione said to herself.
*Chester's suite*
Maddie closed her eyes as she shut the phone. "I'm a bad person," she said to herself. She stood in his living room shamefully.
"Hey! That's mean," Chester said playfully as he walked out of his bedroom. Maddie took a look at his messy brown hair and the green tips of his bangs. Then she glanced at his chest.
"Shut up!" she snarled. "I wasn't supposed to be here,with you! Why would I be so stupid to stay with some stranger for a night. How did this happen?"
"Umm let's see," Chester said. "You brought me to a date seminar with your friends,then we got dinner,watched a movie,and then well,you know the rest." he winked at her.
Maddie slammed her head on the wall. "Idiot."
Chester lifted her head. "Don't go and kill yourself. I say that was a wonderful date. Besides if you really remembered what happened last night,you'd know that you were barfing and sleeping most of the time." he walked to the bathroom
"What?"
"But who knows? Maybe there'll be more dates to come?" Chester shut the bathroom door,leaving Maddie alone.
Maddie couldn't help but blush at the idea. A part of her was telling her to leave and never look back,a bigger part said stay for a little while. "What do I do?"
She decided to listen to her brain and leave. As she was walking out,she noticed something. She forgot her hat.
Maddie looked around the suite,and saw it in the bedroom. She shook it off and took her hat from the nightstand. Under it was a note. She picked it up.
It read, 'Get the girl to fall for you,then break her. Do that and you'll get your money.'
Maddie felt anger well up in her. She could tell that she was 'the girl'. Maddie crumpled up the note and threw in onto the floor.
"Hey can you toss me my shirt?" Chester asked as his head popped out of the bathroom door.
Maddie growled and threw him his shirt,and a lamp.
Just so you know,Maddie is in no way similar to me. Did any of you expect me to be EVIL! And who is this mysterious note-writter-person? You'll find out some time,just not in the next co-host chronicle. The next one is about how Khione got this job,I'm gonna need help from her creator though *Ahem!* CharmOriginalProductions
So anyway on another note. I was reading the last chapter(yes I read my own writing,it's not that self-absorbed) and I found out that my writing sucks! It's not really the grammar or the spelling,it's the story line. I really need help with this story line! I'm not that funny,so I really need help on the comedic part. I pretty much have the drama part. Maybe I'll start watching Total Drama again to fix this problem. Or get a beta reader. I don't know what to do about this story line. So I'm requesting any help you got!
Next chapter up soon! I'm still taking votes! So vote if you haven't voted yet.
