Chapter 4: The Eat-Off

It's a chapter written mostly by Gabby (Which means 79 percent of this)! Confession cam is in script form. Don't ask why.

Gabby stood on the Dock of Shame, smiling and laughing.

"Hi, people of Earth and Canada! Chris was injured, so he can't host. So, Laila decided to let me take over! Today is the first challenge, we all know what happened last time, so continue reading for Total Drama Island, Season 2!" Gabby laughed even more.

Title Sequence.

The Killer Marmosets girls' cabin was quiet at 3 A.M., except for two people, who were wide-awake.

"Is he gone?" Vanesa asked, hiding under the bed. Krm looked at her.

"Yes. Why did you have to steal his car?" Krm asked, slightly worried.

Vanesa stared at her friend as if she was an idiot. "Um…because he's sort of hot!" She declared as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Krm rolled her eyes. "What is wrong with all the girls and hot guys?" she asked, not understanding at all. Vanesa stared in shock.

"I cannot believe you! You mean you don't feel that way about guys? Oh my God, you're a les!!" Vanesa spazzed out at this possible explanation, hitting her head on the bottom of the bed.

Krm rolled her eyes at her friend's assumption. "Ok. One, now I see why Laila bothers you so much, and two, no I'm not a les. I have so far thought of nothing toward guys nor girls." She explained. Vanesa was confused.

"Damn, what's wrong with you?"

Krm sighed. "Says the girl with a tattoo on her face. Anyway, I don't know I just…" she sighed and pulled off her hat, revealing wolf ears. "I guess because I'm a werewolf?"

Vanesa went into mild, momentary shock, but soon snapped out of it. "Wow, not of human species, huh?" she asked.

Krm smiled. "Nope. I could probably say the same for you. And now that you mention it, I do remember Gabby telling me that two people in the camp are mermaids. I think they are Cariba and Lyee."

Vanesa stared in amazement. "Really? Wow!"

Krm nodded. "Actually, it's kind of cool, 'cause Gabby also told me two other things. She tried to remember.

"What are they?" Vanesa asked after a long while.

"To give her meds everyday… and that today is an eat-off challenge." She finally explained. Vanesa gagged.

"Ew, gross! Laila's plotting against me. She knows I can't eat all that crap!" Vanesa shuddered.

Krm looked at her in confusion. "Actually, I can't wait! I'm starving!" Vanesa gagged again.

Morning that day, around 6:00am

All was quiet. Suddenly on the loudspeakers, Get Crunk by Broknecyde comes on.

In all the cabins you could hear the guys cursing, and shouting "What is that noise that's playing?" and the most of the girls screaming in fear, but Vanesa was still under the bed and not giving a care, and Krm was outside, singing along to the song with Gabby. Laila came up and stared at the two.

"Screamo, Gabby? Seriously?" she asked in desperation. Gabby smiled.

"Hell yeah!" she shouted. Laila shook her head. The song suddenly changed to Seek and Destroy, by Metallica.

Gabby froze in surprise. "What the? Laila, did you change the song?!" Gabby shouted.

Laila looked around, acting as if she hadn't done anything. "Who did that?" She slid the remote into the pocket of her UnderOath jacket. After Gabby shook her head, Laila jumped up. "Ha! I so win!" She quickly did what she called a "Winning Dance", which was an elaborate version of the Macarena.

Gabby looked mad. "Hey! I'm the host! Back off!" She began throwing firecrackers at Laila angrily.

"GYAAH!" Laila sprinted away, followed quickly by Gabby.

5 minutes later

Gabby sat on the ground, breathing deeply. "I'm out."

Laila was right next to her, also breathing deeply. "Just wondering, what happened to Chris?"

Nikki walked towards them. "Ahem."

Gabby didn't listen. "Something about sharks… and Chef's cooking." She explained.

Nikki smiled and clapped. "Yay! The annoying person is gone! And, err …Gabby?" She smiled and cupped her hands. "Can I have a bomb?" she asked, pleading.

Gabby looked as if it was the sweetest thing she had ever heard. "Awww!" She got up and nearly hugged Nikki to death. "You're awesome! Here." Gabby pulled a firecracker, a grenade, a small hand-held bomb and a lighter out of nowhere, confusing Laila. "Have fun, Nikki, you don't have to do the challenge, so have fun!"

"Yay! Nikki skipped off to go blow up several trees.

Real World

Laila stared. "Are you having fun?" she asked Gabby, who was rapidly typing on the computer.

Gabby smiled "Yes, since this one I can write the entire chapter…or at least until I have writer's block." She added.

Laila sighed. "Wow, Gabby. I do worry about you."

Gabby shrugged. "I know, but I'm not the one eating an entire bag of lettuce. And I'm just glad you're the one editing it because well I write script form." Laila put down the bag of lettuce she had been eating.

Sebastian looked at them as if they were completely insane. "One day hell is going to freeze over because of you two." He mumbled.

Laila jumped up. "Yay! I will finally be ungrounded!" She high-fived Gabby from the desk she was standing on. "That's the entire point…and wait, Gabby, are you doing this in the middle of the story so that people read it?" she asked.

Gabby smiled. "Maybe."

Laila nodded "Well, might as well do something. Gabby, tell them what I told you this morning."

Gabby rolled her eyes. "Ok well this is what she said. 'This is random, but when people type "LOL", they're usually just quietly giggling. What about "LQTM", for "Laughing quietly to myself." I think it makes a bit more sense."

Laila smiled. "Ok now." She pulled out her iPod and began listening to something. "…BACK TO THE STORY!"

Gabby shuddered. "Yes ma'am." She mumbled.

Back in the story at camp in the mess hall

Krm and Dante stared at the food, starstruck. "So beautiful…" they said simultaneously. They glared at each other, realizing what they had just done. "Stop copying me…that food is mine!" Krm shouted. Dante and her began arguing.

Gabby stood there staring, with a blank look on her face. "And she's my baby sitter! She shouldn't be acting like this."

Vanesa jumped into the fight out of nowhere. "Krm! Back off! I told you! Dante is mine!" she shouted.

Krm sighed. "Once again, no interest." Vanesa, upon hearing this, tackled Krm and they began fighting.

Gabby shook her head. "Laila, please spilt them up." She begged, now startled at the fact that Vanesa had a cut on her face and was bleeding.

Laila pulled a needle out of her pocket. "No problem... here Vannie!" She stabbed Vanesa in the arm, causing her to fall onto the ground unconscious. "Nighty-night, Vannie." She said happily.

15 Minutes Later

"Ow…what happened?" Vanesa sat up, rubbing her head. Gabby pointed to Laila, who was now listening to her iPod.

"She gave you your medicine so that you'd stop trying to kill Krm." Gabby explained. "Anyway, you and Dante have to go rebuild the cabin, so leave." She added.

"What? How is any of this my fault? She's the one who stole my car!" Dante shouted, jumping up.

"You were the one who left the car door unlocked." Gabby said. "NOW GET OUT OF HERE ALREADY!" Dante and Vanesa walked out, mumbling. As the door closed, there was the sound of something heavy falling, and then loud cursing.

"I think Vannie fell down." Gabby mumbled. "Anyway. To the people who didn't destroy a building. Today we're having an eat-off challenge. Whoever can eat the most ramen wins!" Gabby smiled and clapped. Chef walked in, pushing a very large cauldron.

"We have to eat all that?" Karma shouted. Gabby glared.

"What is wrong with eating so much ramen that you get sick?" Gabby screamed. Laila winced – she had heard this scream through her headphones – and quietly turned off the iPod.

"Gabby, what did I tell you about screaming?" she asked politely. Gabby sighed and rolled her eyes.

"That it shatters your eardrums and that I'm not allowed to scream so loudly that it makes people's ears bleed." Gabby mumbled. Laila smiled.

"Good girl." Laila said. She went back to listening to her iPod.

"So eat up!" Gabby shouted. Chef began walking around, giving everyone bowls. As he walked around the Killer Marmosets' table, he looked down at Krm, who was holding out her bowl for more.

"Didn't I just give you some?" He asked. Krm nodded and smiled. Chef sighed.

"Wait." He walked around, leaving a confused Krm sitting in her chair. Gabby quickly walked up and gave Krm another bowl.

15 Minutes Later

"Krm, that's your 27th bowl. Aren't you done eating yet?" Gabby was staring at Krm, who was devouring yet another bowl of ramen.

"No. And it is DELICIOUS!" Krm finished the bowl and held it out for more. Gabby reluctantly handed her another bowl.

Around the mess hall, it was obvious to see Krm was the only one doing decent – considering she had now eaten 27 bowls and was on her 28th. Most people were only on their 5th, but a few had given up. Laila looked at her iPod screen and raised her hand.

"Challenge is over! Stop eating! Krm! That means you!" Krm reluctantly put down the bowl, several noodles still hanging out of her mouth.

"Anyway, let's see. For the Flaming Chickens, you had…" Gabby quickly counted. "72 bowls. For the Rabid Armadillos, you had… 59 bowls. For the Killer Marmosets…you had 2 less people than everybody else. Your total was…" Gabby paused, counting.

"Hurry up!" Terry suddenly shouted. Gabby flipped him off.

"79 bowls. Killer Marmosets win!" Gabby shouted. The team jumped up, shouting and giving each other high fives, mostly to Krm, who had started eating the 28th bowl again.

"Rabid Armadillos. You have to choose 6 to be safe and 7 to be voted against. Good luck!"

The Confession Cam – It returned!

Spicer: I swear, she's trying to kill me! I ate more today than I've ever eaten in a day before.

Karma: What the hell happened? I mean, we had more people than anybody and we lost!

Effie: I have no idea what happened. Anyway, if anybody needs to leave, it's Karma. She didn't do anything!

Zach: That was fun. I think Grace is sick now, but that was awesome!

Krm: (smiling maniacally and eating yet another bowl of ramen.) I like ramen.

The Killer Marmosets – Guy's Cabin

Dante and Vanesa had made pretty decent progress with the cabin, aside from the numerous injuries Vanesa had caused both her and Dante. It was a very awkward silence, actually. After 20 minutes, Vanesa finally broke the silence.

"So why are you so obsessed with that car? I mean, you were sleeping in it last night, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't just because I destroyed this cabin." Vanesa asked. Dante sighed.

"My mom gave it to me a couple of years ago… and now…" Dante couldn't finish, and fell silent.

"Now what?" Vanesa asked. Dante was silent.

"She's dead." Dante looked at the ground. Vanesa watched him out of the corner of her eyes.

"I'm sorry." She whispered.

"Okay, now a question for you. How come the only people who actually look at your face are Krm, Laila, and Gabby?" he asked. "You have your hair covering it 90 percent of the time." Vanesa turned away.

"Because." She mumbled. Dante sighed.

"Come on, you can't be hideously ugly." He said. Vanesa didn't look up.

"Vanesa…" he began.

"You have to promise to tell absolutely nobody what I look like." Vanesa finally answered.

"I promise." He said. Vanesa finally looked up. Dante was in mild shock. First off, her eyes were purple and blue, swirling into a vortex. She had a scar near her mouth that still had stitches on it. There was a black, elaborate rose tattoo near her right eye. Not as shocking was the fact that she also had about 8 face piercings and about as many on her ears. She smiled cautiously and looked down.

"See? You aren't hideously ugly. But how'd you get all that past your parents?" he asked. Vanesa froze.

"My parents are dead. Laila's aunt and uncle adopted me. And technically, they aren't even her real aunt and uncle. Her grandmother got remarried, and her step-grandfather has about 5 kids, one of whom is my "mom"." Vanesa did air quotes for the last word. "That's the only way I know Laila. So I'm not even her real cousin, technically." She said. "My so-called mom isn't even related to her." Dante nodded, now understanding.

"But the tattoo…?"

"Got it in juvy."

"You were in juvy?'

"34 times."

"34? For what?!"

"Let's see…I set fire to most of my foster parents' cars, but only if they were like, vans or economy cars. I like sports cars and muscle cars too much to destroy them. I stole about 43 cars, graffitied about 18 schools, some of them I didn't even go to, blew up the girl's bathroom in 8, ruined the senior prom with paint-filled balloons, threw a party in the teacher's lounge, threw another party in Wal-Mart, blew up the neighbor's car, dropped flaming shoes into a chemical – filled river (setting it on fire), and crashed the principal's Corvette into his office." She listed them as casually if she was talking about the good things she had done."

"Why did you crash a Corvette into the principal's office?" Dante was now frightened.

"Okay, first off, it was when I was 13, I was trying to drive to Los Angeles because I had heard rumors that I was going to be leaving my foster home, so I stole the Corvette because that was the first one I got to in the morning. But yet again, I was only 13 and I didn't have my license, and I tried to put it in reverse, I couldn't figure out how it worked, and I ended up crashing into the principal's office. The car was fine, but he was all mad at me, so I drove the car away as fast as I could, which caused about 15 crashes. The cops finally caught me 3 counties over, and that was about…58 miles away." Vanesa smiled. Dante stared.

"Do you even know how to drive?" Dante asked cautiously.

"Absolutely no idea." Vanesa stated firmly.

"Stay away from my car."

Later that day, around the campfire

"Welcome to the campfire! I'm sure you know what to do, but I have to explain it anyway. Every time there's a challenge, the losing team will have to choose 6… or 7, in you people's case…people who are going to be safe. The entire team will vote on who leaves the island. The loser has to walk the Dock of Shame and go to the Boat of Losers, and they can't come back unless we say. Okay, who came up with these names?" Gabby shouted. "Anyway, if you don't get one of these marshmallow, um, actually, I'm not sure what they are." Gabby held up a yellow marshmallow duck, otherwise known as a "Peep." She sighed. "Nikki, Karma, Cariba, Lyee, Serlenia, and Dakota. You are the ones here tonight." Gabby looked at them.

"Nikki…" Gabby paused. "You are safe." Nikki stood up and picked up one of the yellow marshmallows. "You really think I'd let them kick you off?" she asked. Nikki smiled and sat back down.

"Cariba and Lyee…" Gabby paused again. "You are both safe." The sisters got up and both got their marshmallows.

"Serlenia…you are safe." Serlenia jumped up and went to retrieve the marshmallow.

"Dakota." She paused and looked at Dakota, who looked very nervous.

"Karma." Karma didn't look as freaked out as Dakota.

"Only one marshmallow remains. One of you will be leaving tonight." Gabby stopped, pausing for "dramatic effect."

"Dakota…" Dakota crossed her fingers.

"You are safe." Dakota jumped up and ran to get the marshmallow. Karma looked very mad.

"What?! But it's only the first challenge!" Karma shouted, jumping up. Gabby shrugged.

"Sorry. The votes don't lie…normally." Gabby said. Karma shouted several curse words angrily and marched off.

"Everyone else, you are safe until the next challenge."

The five got up and walked to their cabin.

An hour or so later, Killer Marmosets Girl's cabin

Vanesa stared at the bottom of the bunk above hers, biting her lip. Why did she tell Dante all of that? Why was she still fighting after all that had happened to her?

Vanesa sighed and brushed a strand of red-streaked hair out of her face.

"Because…" she whispered to herself.

"I think I love him."

oOo

Laila: (sitting in a chair, eating popcorn.) That was awesome!

Gabby: Umm… (Starts counting fingers)

Laila: What's with the counting?

Gabby: Well, it's about almost Halloween, I need to come up with something for the Halloween special, and some people are annoying at school

Laila: I know, oh and yes, for the people that are reading this, there is a Halloween challenge.

Gabby: Whether it will be on Halloween or not, we are not sure…REVIEW PLEASE… SCRATCH THE PLEASE JUST DO IT YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!!!!!  HEHEHE SMILEY …if you have hate mail or comments either deal with it or tell me or just you know, "If you have something bad to say don't bother saying it at all."
