Yes,yes. I have the accursed writer's block! It's really very horrible. I may have to go to the imaginary writer's hospital! Oh well. Here's the best that I got.
*Ten minutes ago*
Neveah sighed. She solemnly stared out of the economy class window.
Julia,seeing this,bounced towards her. "What's wrong?"
Neveah snapped back to earth. "Huh?"
"You seem down. What's up?"
Neveah rest her head on her hand. "Nothing. Just tired is all."
Julia studied her. "No no. Something's wrong."
Neveah sighed again. "I told you I'm tired."
"That's not it."
"My dog died?"
"Nope."
"I stubbed my toe?"
"Nope."
"I had an accident?"
"Neveah!" Julia stared at her intensely.
Neveah backed away. "It's nothing Julia!"
Julia kept her gaze for a second,then sighed. "I didn't want to have to come to this but," she pulled out a lighter from her pocket. Julia flipped the lid of it and slowly lit a flame. "Tell me Neveah or-"
"Julia put it away."
Julia slowly moved it forward. Neveah moved back and hit the wall. "Neveah."
"Okay!" She yelled. Julia smirked and pulled the lighter away. "I think I..."
"what is it?" Julia asked,lighter-free.
Neveah looked down. "I think I still have feelings for Scott," she mumbled.
"For who?"
"Scott," she whispered.
"WHO?"
"SCOTT!" Neveah yelled,then quickly covered her mouth.
Julia smiled excitedly. "Really?"
Neveah nodded. "Mmhmm."
"So why are you so depressed?"
Neveah scratched the back of her head. "Well. We broke up-"
"And?"
"It doesn't seem like he wants to get back together anytime soon. What if he's moved on."
Julia stood up and put her hand on her hips matter-of-factly. "Well you don't really know that."
Neveah stared at her.
"Go!" Julia smiled. "Tell him,you still like him!"
"Just tell him I like him?"
*Present*
"Hey Kate!" Neveah called out from the hallway. "Have you seen Scott?"
Kate's eyes widened. "Why h-have you seen him?"
"No. That's why I''m asking you. Hey why are you carrying pants?"
"No reason!" Kate jumped. "Well gotta go bye!" She sped off,leaving Neveah.
Neveah tilted her head in confusion. "Hey Nevs!" she jumped at the touch of her brother. "Ha! Gotcha!"
She shoved his hand off of her. "What are you doing here Nate?"
Nate smiled casually,a bit too casually for Neveah. "I just wanted to see my lovely sister...Plus it's pretty awkward at first class,with Vince and all."
"I see."
"Have you seen Jamie?" Nate looked around frantically.
Neveah could tell something was up. "No. Why?"
"Oh nothing! I just...I just really want to find Jamie. Are you sure you haven't seen her?"
"Nate,what's wrong with you?"
Nate gulped. "Nothing! Nothing at all! I just want to talk to Jamie is all." He grinned then backed up. "Well if you see Jamie just let me know...see you Nevs!"
Neveah grabbed his hand before he could run away. "Nate. What's bothering you?"
Nate looked down,then pulled his hand out of Neveah's grip. "Nothing."
*Twenty minutes ago*
Across the room,sitting on the first class couch,Vince glared at Nate.
Sitting on a bar stool,Nate glared back.
"Well you two lovers can't seem to keep your eyes off each other." Nate turned his head to see Alex eating popcorn beside him.
"Why are you here?"
Alex avoided his question and offered him a piece,Nate pushed it away. He shrugged. "Your loss."
"Look at him," Nate said. "Sitting there. Not even apologizing."
"I heard you threw the first punch."
"That's not the point! I mean he kisses Amy and...and..."
Alex took another piece of popcorn. "So?"
"So what?"
"Does she seem sad?"
"Of course she is! She likes him doesn't she?"
Alex shrugged. "I don't know her that much. But I think someone is sad over Mr. Ackles."
"Hmm?"
He threw a piece of popcorn into the air. "Someone whose name rhymes with Bonia."
Nate stood up. "I'm so stupid."
"Oh Nate don't be so-" He looked around to see Nate was gone. He shrugged. "Well alright then."
*In the hallway*
"Tonia!" Nate called out. "Tonia!"
He heard a voice,but it wasn't Tonia. Around the corner he could see Amy and Vince talking. Amy had her arms around Vince,Nate's jaw dropped. "I-I'm s-sorry," she said.
"No it's okay," Vince responded.
"No i-i-t's a-all my f-f-fault."
"Amy." Vince pulled back. "It's not your fault."
"I-It is!" Amy threw her hands up in the air. "I-I'm th-the one who k-k-kissed you!"
Nate's jaw dropped further,he turned his back onto the wall. His eyes were wide open,his heart beating loudly. ''It was her," he whispered. "She kissed him." He wiped a drop of sweat from his brow. By now he couldn't even breathe. "What is up with me?" There was only one person he thought he could talk to about this,the only other person who knew about the kiss.
*Present*
Kate left,and continued to secretly look for her brother,while Neveah did the same with her brother,who had quickly sped off,hoping to escape his sister.
After a while of searching she gave up,and started looking for Scott. Nate sighed after his sister finally left,but got angry again from what happened next.
"Are you going to give up?" Raine asked from the mess hall. Nate took a peek at the two of them. Raine was standing over Demi,who was drinking some sort of purple liquid.
Demi drank the last drop then burped. She turned to Raine. "Now will you tell me that secret?"
Raine frowned then dropped his hands onto the table. "Nope."
Elizabeth sat at the table with Demi. "I'm surprised you drank so much of Annie's dog medicine."
Demi turned to Elizabeth. "But it's not going to hurt me right? You said it was lilac."
Elizabeth shook her head. "No. I said it was a laxative."
Raine smirked. Demi stared at her stomach which was starting to grumble. "So," Raine said. "Give up?"
Demi clutched her stomach. He groaned. "Nope. I'm just going to go to the bathroom and I will be right back to get that secret!" He took up,leaving a trail of smoke behind her.
Elizabeth chuckled. "We have about a good two hours before she comes back."
Raine took a seat and laughed with her. He stared at the now fading smoke. "She won't give up." He grinned. "That's one of her most annoying and best quality."
Elizabeth looked up at Raine who was now just playing with a spot on his shirt. Although this was about the third time she ever talked to him,and the first that they were alone, he seemed different. He seemed to be more open,less dark and hostile. This,of course,disappointed Elizabeth. When he was dark,they seemed to be more alike. Elizabeth leaned back. "So what is this big and scary secret?"
Raine leaned back with her. "Oh I can't tell you that.''
"Why not?"
He didn't respond.
Elizabeth chuckled. He was embarrassed. "You're scared about anyone knowing,how cute."
Raine grimaced. "Don't call me cute. That's precisely why I don't want people to know."
"Okay. If you tell me the secret,then I won't call you cute."
Raine sighed. "I don't trust you."
"But you trust Demi don't you? Why can't you tell her?"
Raine faced Elizabeth. He had a confused expression on his face. "Why would you think I trust her?" Elizabeth was thrown. Raine went back to his original position. "Besides. She could never keep a secret."
Elizabeth frowned,then stood in front of him. "I can keep a secret. And because I'm dying to know that secret. I'll make you a deal."
Raine straightened up. "What deal?"
"If you tell me the REAL secret,then I'll get my hands on some of Annie's AND Chef's food. She'll be bound to give up."
Raine tapped his chin for a second and thought it over,then he finally agreed. "Fine." He reached inside his jean pocket and took out a small notebook. He flipped it to the third page then handed it to Elizabeth. "Don't tell ANYONE."
By now Nate was feeling a little guilty to be listening in,but didn't budge at all.
Elizabeth read the notebook,then looked at Raine questioningly. "I don't get it. It's just a song lyrics." She read it again. "In fact it's a kind of like a love song."
"Demi almost caught me singing it to Tonia."
Elizabeth smiled. "So the secret is you like Tonia?"
At this Nate was as furious as he was confused before. He stormed off. He wanted to hit something,he really wanted to hit something. He started with the wall,and continued to leave the scene without listening to another word of the conversation.
If he did,he would have heard Raine say "No! I didn't write it for her. I didn't write it for anyone."
"So why did you sing it to her?"
Raine shrugged. "I don't know...She was sad. I thought it would cheer her up okay!" he yelled,almost in anguish.
Elizabeth was shocked. "That's actually very sweet."
Raine took the notebook from her. "And that's why this," he held up the notebook. "Stays a secret. I don't want anyone to think I'm into that sappy stuff,or that I'm-" he groaned. "Cute."
"Fine."
"Really?" Raine was kinda regretting showing her the notebook now.
"Really." She held a hand up. "Cross my heart and hope to die," with the other hand she traced a cross mark over her chest.
Raine sighed. "Thanks."
Elizabeth sat down. "No problem."
Raine was completely relieved,although he still didn't really trust her.
"But can I say something?"
"What?"
"That song really is cute."
"SHUT UP!"
*Cargo Hold*
Jamie gave and insane giggle. "You shall never catch me!" she yelled as she ran into the darkness of the cargo hold with Scott behind her.
"JAMIE!" he yelled angrily. Jamie suddenly stopped and turned around,smiling evilly. Scott cautiously and slowly walked towards her. "Just give me the pants and we can put this all behind us."
Jamie shook her head. "No can do Scotty." She walked to the light switch. "You see,as you were hiding out in the bathroom I was working on this." She flipped the switch. The light shone,revealing an elaborate array of paint ball guns set up at every corner,and four catapults set up at Scott's sides. Scott looked at his feet,and realized that he was standing on a red X.
"You are...ingenious."
Jamie took the compliment. "Thank you." She took hold of a rope beside her and pulled,setting off all of the paintball guns. Scott was being pelt by all the paint,but decided to not go down alone. He pulled Jamie towards him,using her as a human shield. "Stop!" she yelled.
"Haha! Got ya!"
Jamie frowned,but couldn't help laughing. She twirled around and reversed the situations,using Scott as a shield. "Do you think I would fall for that?"
Scott wiped some paint out of his face,then saw some paint balloons lying on the floor. In attempt of attack,he grabbed them and started to throw some at Jamie. "Attack!"Jamie ran off in escape,Scott followed,only to find her with her own paint balloons. She smirked. "Oh this is war."
"Bring it on."
*After several minutes of the paint war*
The two sat on the messed up,and now colorful, floor,laughing. "I have to admit," Scott said. "That was fun." He turned to Jamie. "Now give me back my pants." He realized long ago that Kate wasn't going to find him soon.
Jamie pulled the clothing away.
"Oh come on!"
"Sorry Scotty. You're going to have to take it from me." she leaned forward,but ended up slipping on the wet paint. Scott quickly caught her.
"Hey," Scott said,still holding Jamie. "Why do you call me Scotty?"
Jamie shrugged. "No reason." The two continued to laugh together.
Too bad they didn't look at the doorway,where Neveah had just came in. But she didn't stay long. What could it be that made her not bear the sight? Was it the lingering time the two stayed together? Or was it because Neveah could swear that Jamie was leaning in,and vice versa? Either way she left,forcing herself not to cry. She didn't just leave,she ran.
"What's your hurry?" Julia asked her. "Are you excited because of Scott?"
"I was wrong." She turned to Julia. "Scott's moved on."
"Neveah..."
*What really happened*
"No reason." The two continued to laugh together.
Scott and Jamie just stayed there,not saying anything,just staring.
Jamie leaned in a little. Why,she didn't know.
Scott was frozen. Then he got an excellent idea. He followed Jamie's example.
Then,suddenly. "Ha!" Scott jumped up triumphantly,paint covered jeans in hand. "I got it! I am victorious!"
Jamie smiled,then stood up. "You are a cheater!"
"Am not!" Scott laughed. "But,in consolation,you can hit me with that paint balloon you were hiding."
Jamie stopped laughing. "What do you mean?"
"You know,the one you were leaning in for." After putting his pants on Scott opened up his arms. "Come on. Hit me."
Jamie looked down,and shuffled her feet,putting her empty hands behind her back.
"Oh Jamie..."
"Attention!" Maddie's voice came over the intercom. "Everyone on the marshmallow team please come to elimination. And I do mean everyone."
Scott looked at Jamie before heading for the doorway. "You know I JUST got out of a relationship with Neveah."
"I know." Jamie smiled half-heartedly. "It was just a heat of the moment thing."
Scott smiled then turned around. "You know,that prank was-OW!"
"Gotcha!" Jamie sped off past him,smiling. Scott rubbed the back of his head,which was now covered with pain because of Jamie.
Scott stayed there for a second,until he heard a soft growling behind him.
*Elimination ceremony*
"Where have you been?" Kate asked her brother. She looked over him. "And what happened?"
Scott grinned,then took a seat. "Nothing."
Jamie took her seat too. "Okay! Now we can get this started," Khione said.
"Where's Maddie?" Alex asked.
"She fell asleep right after making that announcement."
"Where are Chris and Chef?"
"They're off watching Glee," Khione said.
John shook his head. "Nu-uh Glee is on Thursdays."
There was silence. Everyone stared at John.
"What?"
Sean shook his head. "Dude," Haden said.
"What?"
Khione cut the tension. "I think it's recorded on their DVR. Anyway,let's just get your butts to voting."
*Six point five,four,two,seven,one minutes later*
"Let's see," Khione shuffled through the votes. "one for blah blah. One for whatsername. Two for whosit. Okay,I think I got it! The...one...two...three...FIFTH person to leave Total Drama Fame and Fortune is-" Khione held out that last word. All the contestants leaned forward on the edge of their seat,Haden falling in the process. "Kate."
Everyone did their casual gasp,then Kate stood up. "Yes!" she exclaimed. "I am finally off this death machine!" She happily walked to to Khione and took her parachute.
"I'm going to miss you Kate!" Scott said brotherly. He ran up to her,arms open.
Kate stepped aside. "Don't hug me when you have,that."
Scott looked at his clothes and realized the paint was still wet. "But Kate!" He walked forward.
Kate stepped back,and finally she fell off of the plane. "AAAHH!"
Khione grinned. "I love the sound of a teen plummeting to their doom."
Sean raised an eyebrow. "Doom?"
"Doom? Who said doom?" Khione replied.
"Ah!" Chef burst through the door. His hands were tied and he was sweating. He collapsed,then looked at Khione. "Don't EVER do that again," he said between gasps.
"What!" She said innocently. "Are you accusing me of waiting until you fall asleep,then tie you and Chris up in chairs,and make you watch reruns of Glee?"
"He didn't say any of that," Julia pointed out.
"Oh...Well I didn't."
Elizabeth rolled her eyes. "Yeah...Right..."
Khione looked around the room. "Where's Chris?"
Chef gasped again. "He's still watching."
"See!" John said. "It's not that weird."
"Shh," Julia patted his shoulder. "Just be quiet babe."
There you have it! The next chapter will be the aftermath,so you can be excited about that. If you have any questions or dares for the five eliminees (Ben,Macie,Christian,Hana,and Kate) feel free to tell me! And if you have any ideas for the story,ANY AT ALL,just tell me. There's an eighty percent chance of me putting it in.
