Author's Note: So, I got another Aftermath done. I have to admit I'm not really good at these but I think I did better. As always, you're the judges of that. Remeber, next week Alejandro rejoins the cast and knocks out a member of the Final Eight. First reviewer to guess who will get a one-shot dedicated to their favorite Randomverse pairing, cannon or not. I'll have to fix any spelling mistakes once I get my laptop back from repairs.
I've decided that I am going to write the AU Skytor fic. I'll post it at some point after the premier of World Tour. And I was struck with a great idea for a Duncsune AU fic, that I'll probably post sometime next month.
Disclaimer: I don't own Total Drama, the shuffled concept or the (most of) the characters.
And now, the reviews!
Checkmate King: Thanks! I thought people would like that.
Guest: Sorry to boot a favorite. I'm glad you liked the hallucinations and the reference I threw in there. Thanks for the input for the fic, though I've been calling it Skytor... And thank you for the webcam idea. I put it in, but I'm not sure how it turned out.
Piecesxoxo: Does it make me a bad person that I smiled when I read that? Thanks for your input on the fic idea.
yeezynight14: I'm glad you think that, I was worried that I'd wasted a descent character's potential twice now. It's ok if you don't know who they are, the fic will fill in enough of the lore if you decide to read it.
That British Guy: Thanks for the input on the fic. Sorry to make you sad about the boot, and I'm happy you liked Kitsune.
Currernt Castmates:
Screaming Gaffers: DJ, Duncan, Leshawna, Sammy
Killer Grips:Heather, Kitsune, Sugar, Victor
But today is all about the ones not on this list and how they've been doing since getting the boot.
Episode 12: Aftermath II: Sky Falls
A cheesy guitar riff opened the episode to a group of purple circles flying to the top right of the screen with smaller blue ones flying in the same direction at a faster speed. A large and blocky red 'T' flashed onto the screen and descended through the circles. A 'D' and 'A' followed moments later, then the three letters slid from the left to spell 'TDA' and the word 'AFTERMATH' flew from the bottom of the screen and slammed into the acronym, bumping it up briefly and slamming back down.
The words gleamed and the 'D' quickly came forward and turned slightly to the left before returning to its original position.
XXX
"And the final Guilded Chris goes to..." The two boys were shown side by side, Duncan on the left with bitter acceptance and Harold on the right with fear.
"Duncan!"
"What?!" Leshawna asked in a rage. "How could y'all vote off sweet innocent little Harold?"
XXX
The 'D' came forward again and more recap footage was shown.
The camera cut to Kitsune smiling as she reached the top of the wall, then looking at the incoming tome with wide eyes. She quickly jumped from the top of the wall and the footage slowed down as she landed awkwardly on her right foot.
"Ah!" Kitsune howled in pain as she held the foot, "My foot!"
XXX
The 'D' came forward again.
"Yes!" The goofballl cheered in relief as she caught her award.
"What?!" Shawn and Heather asked. The queen bee turned to Sugar and said, "I thought we were voting for her," with a point to the fox lover.
"I musta hit the wrong button by mistake," Sugar defended.
"Does that mean I can stay?" Shawn asked hopefully.
"Sorry," Chris said without sincerity. "all eliminations are final." He sighed and Chef grabbed him to take him to the Lame-osine
XXX
The 'D' came forward one last time.
The footage skipped ahead to Sky's hands being cuffed by Chef. "Dead girl walkin'! He shouted as she walked the Walk of Shame.
"Sky," Victor said showing up to see her off. "I am sorry you were eliminated so soon." Sky glared and huffed, passing him by without much thought. "Sky?" The gentleman asked in confusion.

[A stage light pops up in front of some fake buildings and turns on; a camera with a rat on top of it comes out of a manhole; another camera comes out of the hollow of a tree, along with some garbage and a very confused raccoon. A pair of hands claps a film slate in front of the camera, and the camera flies through the film lot; Chris drives a golf cart with Chef in the passenger side in the camera's path. The host grins and waves and the cook crosses his arms and scowls as the lyrics start]
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine
[The camera passes through a tree and files down a road between the studio warehouses, dodging a farm backdrop and a sunset backdrop before flying through a costume rack]
You guys are on my mind
[The camera flies up the fake mountain and peeks over the edge to see a pool of water, then jumps in]
You asked me what I wanted to be
[As the camera lands in the pool, bubbles fill the screen and then disapate to show Sugar in her bikini with a large shark behind her. The pageant queen farts as the shark opens its mouth, then it chokes]
And I think the answer is plain to see
[The camera pans up to show Harold on a surfboard hooked up to some rigging. He tries to dodge seagulls that are shooting past him like bullets, only to take one to the face and be knocked in the water.]
I wanna be... famous
[The camera quick pans to the left, showing Duncan manning what can only be described as a seagull cannon with a sadistic grin on his face. The camera pans back to show Sky looking at the punk with contempt as he fires the rest of the gulls. The camera flies between them, then pauses in front of a large door as Sasquatchanawkwa runs across it in a pink dress and boa The door opens and the camera flies into a bright light.]
I wanna live close to the sun
[The light fades into a shot of the beach set where Leshawna sits on a pool chair. She is flanked with sharks in their own chairs The camera zooms in on Leshawna as she gives a huge smile.]
Well pack your bags 'cause I've already won
[The camera pans to the right and ending up on Noah in the confessional reading a book with a smug expression pn his face and his legs propped up on the table. He leans back and goes too far as he falls backwards.]
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
I'll get there one day
[The camera quick pans to the right again to show Heather and a bald and camo cap wearing Alejandro on rock pillars against a dark backdrop. The two have dueling sticks, Heather's is blue and Alejandro's is orange. Alejandro hits Heather a few times and she responds with a jab to his face, his cap falls off and the camera quick pans down to show the hat falling perfectly on DJ's head.]
'Cause I wanna be... famous
[The camera zooms out a bit to show DJ stirring a metal pot with a smile on his face. He pulls out a small orange bottle and sprinkles something in the pot, takes out a spoon and offers it to someone off-screen; the camera zooms out more to show he was offering it to Sammy, who giggles and kisses him on the cheek. The camera pans out to show Amy watching the scene on one of two monitors in another room with a look of disgust on her face. She angrily presses a button and is surprised when an explosion rocks the other screen.]
(Na nananana nanananana nananananana)
[The camera cuts to the explosion as it fades away revealing a slightly singed Shawn nervously looking around... only to scream and run away to the right past a zombie in familliar clothing. The zombie reveals itself to be Kitsune, who giggles to herself as he runs past. The camera follows him as he runs past the Lame-o-sine then stops at the vehicle.]
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous (Na nananana nanananana nananananana)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous (Na nananana nanananana nananananana)
[The camera zooms in on the limousine's window, which rolls down to show a smiling Mike and Zoey. The window behind them rolls down to show Victor smiling at the couple. He opens the door with an formal bow. The camera flies past a series of flashes as if it were going down the red carpet and stops at Chris in a blue tux on the amphitheatre. The host grins and opens an evelope, then looks over at a scowling dress-wearing Chef as he holds a tray of Guilded Chris's. Chris purses his lips and gives a look to the camera. The camera zooms out to show the scene was being watched on a monitor, then pans down to Gwen and Trent, the latter strumming the last few notes of the theme on his guitar.
The camera zooms out to show the non competitors on the center couch of what looked to be the set of a talk show, flanked by two double tiered couches. On the top left: Noah, Sammy, DJ, and Tyler. On the bottom left: Zoey, Mike, Leshawna, Harold, Duncan, and Kitsune. On the top right: Staci, Malcolm, Victor, Sky, and Alejandro. And on the bottom right: Scarlett, Sugar, Shawn, Amy and Heather. The feed on the monitor fizzles out and changes to the Total Drama Action logo]

The introduction rift played again and the audiece cheered and applauded. Trent and Gwen sat on the host's couch in the middle and the left couches were occupied by Tyler, Malcolm, Scarlett, Noah, and Amy on the top row and Alejandro, Staci, Mike, and Zoey on the bottom row.
"What's up everyone?" Trent said to the audience. "I'm Trent."
"And I'm Gwen," she added with a smirk. "I'm glad to see you guys back for another aftermath."
"Where we're gonna dish all the dirt on the latest episodes of Total, Drama, Action!" Trent said and the croud went wild again.
"Sounds like there's a lot of love tonight," Gwen commented.
"I wouldn't expect things to stay that way with who our guests are," Trent said.
"True," Gwen agreed. "I'd say there's a fair deal of hate showing up today."
"Yep," Trent said and the camera pulled back to show a TV screen. "Tonight we're joined by Sky!" The screen showed the athlete's smiling face and the crowd cheered.
"And also Harold!" Gwen announced and the crowd cheered again as the dweb's face was shown.
"And let's not forget Shawn!" Trent finished to even more cheers as the survivalist's face was shown.
"We've also got our season one friends joining us in the VIP section!" Gwen announced. Trent held a finger to his ear and scowled, but got up and walked off. "Say hey to Staci!" The camera focused the chatterbox as she smiled for the camera. "Malcolm!" The pain magnet grinned. "Tyler!" The jock shot a finger pistol. "Scarlett!" The brainiac gave a slight smirk. "And Alejandro!" The arch-villain smirked at the loud mixture of cheers and boos.
Gwen looked back to Trent, only to blink in confusion at his disappearance. "And we've got the guests from the last show. Mike and Zoey!" The camera cut to the couple, Zoey leaning into Mike as they both smiled for the enthusiastic crowd. "Amy!" The cheerleader scowled as the cheers dramatically quieted. "And let's not forget last year's winner, Noah!" He dropped his usual bored persona long enough to wink at the camera, causing the crowd to cheer louder then ever.
"Way to milk the camera," Malcolm said with a mock glare.
"What can I say?" Noah teased. "I'm a fan favorite."
The camera cut back to Gwen. "Did you have to talk to him now?!" She whisper-yelled into her earpiece. "So there've been a couple of pretty shocking eliminations-"
"And one that, let's face it, we all saw coming," Trent said as he came back to the host couch. "Anything you'd like to add Al?"
"Not currently," the charmer replied with a heated glare on the male co-host.
Gwen smirked. "Mike? Zoey? Have you two got anything to say?"
"I thought Sky's elimination was pretty obvious," Mike replied.
"It was Shawn and Harold that shocked me," Zoey said.
"Really?" Noah asked. "I knew Sugar would target Zombie Boy. Heather's useless without her little toadie."
"True," Trent agreed. "But I don't think people saw it working with Kitsune's busted foot."
"These past few episodes were definetly intense," Gwen said. "We had the prison movie, the hospital drama, the haunted set."
"Then there was the disater movie and that war flick. That was some top-notch drama." Trent finished and the male audience members cheered.
Gwen sighed. "I had a feeling the guys would be all over those last two," she joked. "But I'm definetly glad not to have been on tihis season. I would've been kicked out on prison day for sure."
"No way I would've made it past that either," Trent admitted. "I've got a seriously weak stomach."
"And then Kitsune's foot?" Gwen said with a shudder. "I haven't been able to stop talking about it."
"It's true," Trent commented. "She hasn't." Gwen sent him a mock glare. "And speaking of busted stuff," the camera pulled back and the TV screen dropped down again, "we've got another bunch of unseen moments of pain from our contestants." The male audience members cheered again. "That's right! It's time for more 'That's Gonna Leave a Mark'!"
The audience cheered as an intro to the segment played, several clips of various injuries from the first season scrolled across the screen similarly to the Guilded Chris intro.
The camera cut to the TV screen as static showed on it, then started playing clips. The first clip was of Victor and Shawn carrying the Trunk of Mindblowing Secrets. The two boys carried it infront of their teammates and dropped it, the sudden widening of Heather's eyes implying that the trunk was dropped onto her foot.
Next was Kitsune being loaded into the ambulance. As it drove off, the back doors opened and the girl's stretcher fell out and rolled past the rest of the teens until she reached a manhole. The gurney partially collapsed and the goofball fell into the sewers.
The third clip was just Sky trying to hit Duncan with the shovel, only to hit Harold as the punk dodged.
Fourth was set during the prison challenge, as Sugar was rummaging through the bin of food the teams used for their prison food. She smiled until a metallic clank was heard and she pulled out her arm only to find she had been caught in a bear trap.
The camera cut back to the two hosts. "So you told them no right?" Gwen asked her boyfriend unaware that the camera was back on them.
"Actually I think they may have a point," Trent answered bluntly.
"You can't be serious?!" Gwen whsper-yelled. "We are not boring!"
The audience gasped. "Wow guys," Mike said awkwardly. "That sure was a pretty good pain montage."
"You bet it was!" Trent said with a finger pistol. "Speaking of pain, how about Kitsune's foot? Amiright?"
The footage on the TV cut to Kitsune smiling as she reached the top of the wall, then looking at the incoming tome with wide eyes.
"At least she tried to dodge it," Gwen commented.
She quickly jumped from the top of the wall and the footage slowed down as she landed awkwardly on her right foot.
"A lot of good it did her," Trent added. "Though I prefer to watch all the pain Shawn went through this season.
The footage on the monitor showed Shawn falling into the eel tank during the hospital drama, being thrown out of the craft tent in the horror movie challenge, and getting hit with golf balls during the disaster challenge.
"Now that's definetely gonna leave a mark," Trent quipped.
"Let's check in on him and see how he's holding up," Gwen said and the monitor cut to the green room.
Shawn was calmly eating snacks on the couch while Harold sat on a nearby chair and Sky paced back anf forth.
"They're gonna kill me out there guys," Sky panicked. "They are going to murder me!"
"Yeah," Shawn agreed as he casually downed a wedge of cheese. "You're probably a gonner," he said with a full mouth.
"Shawn!" Harold scolded.
"What?" The survivalist asked. "I'm just being honest. She's not exactly a fan favorite right now, and I'm sure the audience agrees," he said pointing to the camera.
"Wait!" Sky panicked. "That's on?!" She ran up to it and said, "Hi everybody. I'm Sky, and I'm really not like the way I was on the show."
The camera cut back to the stage where the audience bood the athlete.
"Don't worry," Trent said. "You guys will get to heckle her later. But we have a couple of guests to bring out before her."
"And before we bring out the first one," Gwen said. "Let's look back at his journey on the show." She gestured to the screen which cut to static, then began showing a series of clips.
"Shawn started out as a strong contender this season," Trent said as the survivalist was shown hiding behind the fake car in the monster challenge.
"Who was always on the hunt for stong and reliable allies," Gwen addded as he was shown forming an alliance with Mike and Zoey in the first challenge.
"But when his first two choices were given an early boot," Trent said as Mike and Zoey were shown heading to the Lame-osine. "He was forced to look elsewhere."
"And man did he make the wrong choice," Trent said over a clip of him talking to Heather.
"Allied to Heather and Sugar," Gwen said over a clip of the three talking strategy, "he seemed to be in pretty good shape to make it far."
"But when Sugar wanted reassurace he'd side with her if it came to it," Trent said as Shawn was shown talking to Sugar, "that he couldn't give," he walked off and Sugar glared at him.
"Sugar betrayed the alliance and sent him packing," the boy's shocked face at his elimination was shown. The footage cut to static and the TV screen was raised out of sight.
"Our first guest only sleeps outside, is a master at building traps, and broke out of a flooded submarine," Gwen said. "Please welcome Shawn!"
She gestured to the backstage exit where the survivalist walked out to applause. "Hey guys," he said as he walked over to the guest couch and took a seat.
"Welcome to the show man," Trent said happily.
"So Shawn, how are you feeling?" Gwen asked.
"You're kidding right?" Trent asked, earning himself a glare. "Dude just lost a million bucks."
Shawn sighed. "Yeah I did, but I knew going in that me winning was a long shot. I can still get the money for the bunker, but it's gonna take a while."
"Even then," Trent said, "getting backstabbed like that had to hurt."
"Again, I kinda expected it at some point. And I don't even blame the others for siding with her."
"He's a lot calmer than I would've been," Tyler said.
"Yeah, that sounds like a lie," Trent said. "And you all know what we do to liars!" A large anvil swung down and almost hit the survivalist. "That's right, it's time for Truth or Anvil!"
A shot of a golden statue of Lady Justice was shown against a black background... then was promptly smashed by a large anvil.
"Anvil?!" Shawn asked with wide eyes.
"That was one of the changes you okayed?!" Gwen asked incredulously.
"What can I say?" Trent said with a shrug. "Anvils add more drama." He winked to the camera and added, "more Total Drama!"
"So that thing's gonna fall on me if I lie?" Shawn asked for clarification.
"Yep!" Trent said with a smile. "So first question."
"I just wanna state that I am not okay with this," Gwen interjected.
"You and me both," Shawn muttered under his breath.
"Everyone here wants to know; What's up with the zombie obsession?"
Shawn narrowed his eyes at the host. "It's not an obsession, the undead are coming and people need to be ready for it."
"And by 'ready' you mean hiding away in a bunker like a coward," Trent challenged with a raised eyebrow.
"What do you mean by that?" Shawn asked even more offended than before.
"You talk a big game about preparedness, but your big plan is to hide out away from the rest of the world," Trent continued. "It's clear you can't be trusted and I don't blame Sugar for booting you like that."
"Whoa!" Gwen yelled. "Time out! Trent you're going way too far!"
"It's fine babe," Trent said with a dissmissive wave that earned him another glare. "I'll get us our answers. So Shawn, what started the obsession that turned you into a bigger hypocrite than Heather?"
"There's no way he's worse than Heather!" Gwen retorted.
"Let's see," Trent said as he counted the facts on his fingers, "he willingly teamed up with the girl who read your diary to the whole world, he spent his entire time on the show looking for alliances, he voted of Noah without so much as a second thought, and was perfectly okay with letting his own teammates fail so he could stay in the game. All that pretty much screams villain to me."
"All that stuff was Heather's idea!" Shawn yelled in his defense.
"True, but like I said, you went along with it. And, you've dodged my earlier question."
"Fine, I used to have really bad insomnia so I stayed up late and watched movies on TV. At one point all they showed were zombie flicks and I've been trying to avoid have my brain snacked on ever since. But none of that means I was happy about following Heather!"
"But you still did," Trent pointed out.
"Yeah, and if I stopped then you'd be all over me for betraying her. I knew my best shot at winning. It just didn't work out for me."
"Ladies and gentleman, Shawn," Trent said in a mocking tone. "A real nice guy here."
"You're twisting what I said to make me look bad!"
"You're the one who said it dude," Trent retorted.
"Looks like we only have time for one more question," Gwen interrupted.
"And I found the perfect one." Trent said. "Shaneberryallstar wants to know; Shawn, are you and Heather a thing?"
"Not you guys too!" Shawn said in exasperation. "I got enough of that back on the film lot. I do not have a crush on Heather, or anyone for that matter."
The hosts looked up to the anvil, but it didn't move. "What really?" Trent asked surprised.
"Really," Shawn said with an air of finality.
"Looks like it's time for a small break," Gwen said. "We'll see you after these messages." She smiled and the crowd cheered.
The scene faded into the TDA Aftermath logo, and the 'D' popped out at the screen once again.
(Commercial Break)
The episode returned with another flash of the Aftermath logo, and a montage of clips from 'The Shawnshank Redemption' began to play. Sky was shown yelling at DJ during the prison escape challenge, and then clips of her several arguments with Duncan were shown after that. Another clip of her trying to hit Duncan with the golden shovel was shown.
The montage clips skipped ahead to clips from 'The Fall of the House of Gaffer'. Harold was shown winning a card game before the challenge. Another clip of him screaming after being scared by Duncan was shown. The camera pulled back out from the screen to the studio.
"Do you really think these changes are good?" Gwen whisper-yelled to Trent.
"You know it babe," Trent said with a finger pistol and a wink.
Gwen groaned in frustration. "You know you don't have to act like that unless we're live." Trent just smuggly pointed to the camera. Gwen gave a wide-eyed stare to the camera and blushed. "And we're back," she said awkwardly.
"It's time we meet our second guest," Trent said. "But first let's take a look." The hanging monitor cut to static and then started playing clips. "Harold was a bit of an underdog this season," said Trent over a shot of Harold, Leshawna, and Sky on top of the canvas to the hot air ballon being drug into the lake during the season one special.
"But he was primed to float by under everyone's radar," Gwen said over a clip of Sky and Duncan arguing with the dweeb in the background.
"Despite being the last guy picked for a team," Trent said as Sky was shown picking him. "Harold had the luck to be put on the same team as his girlfriend," he was shown asking Leshawna if he wanted any pizza.
"And with two other people the Gaffers wanted gone as soon as possible," Gwen added over pictures of Amy and Sky giving glares.
"Things were looking good for Harold," Trent said over a clip of one of the dweeb's confessionals.
"Until he was eliminated by a surprise vote from DJ and Sammy," Gwen finished as Harold's elimination was shown, as were his last words to Leshawna.
"Our next guest is an awesome beatboxer, writes romantic haikus, and somehow signed up for the same reality show as his twin sister wihout either of them realizing. Give it up for Harold!"
The dweeb walked onstage with a smile as the audience cheered for him. He walked over to the guest couch, the Shawn had already moved from the bottom to the top row, and sat down. He smiled over at Scarlett, but she looked to dejected to noticed. He frowned back.
"Welcome to the show Harold," Gwen said with a smile.
"Thanks Gwen," Harold said. "It's nice to see you guys again."
"I'm sure it is," Trent said slyly. "But let's get down to it. How much do you hate DJ and Sammy right now?"
Harold started to speak up but Gwen interrupted. "And since he's not gonna warn you," she said pointing to her boyfriend. "Be careful about lying," she pointed up and Harold looked up to see the dangling anvil.
"Wicked," the dweeb said with a smile. "But to answer your question, I don't hate either of them." Everyone gasped and waiting for the falling anvil... that naver came. "What? I don't."
"You can't be serious," Trent said in exasparation. "They cost you a million bucks!"
"But I can't be mad for doing something I would have in their position," Harold retorted.
"Riiiight," Trent said slyly. "You and Leshawna."
"She's amazing isn't she?" Harold asked with a dopey look.
"She's something," Trent smirked. "But what about her lying to the team to get the reward?"
Harold brought a hand to his chin. "I guess that was pretty heinous," he admitted. "But outside of the lie, I don't see any harm done."
"Then there was how she treated the team after you were eliminated," Trent said.
"I don't think you're qualified to talk about how people act after someone's elimination," Gwen pointed out.
Trent ignored her. "So it's obvious how much you cae about her," he said. "But do you ever wonder how she feels about you?"
Harold looked confused. "What do you mean?"
"Well we have an exclusive clip from her spa night," Trent said. "And I'd love for you to see it."
"No," Gwen said seriously. "You are not showing him that."
"Showing me what?" Harold asked.
"He needs to know," Trent defended.
"I need to know what?" Harold asked with mild irritation.
"But you can't show him that on live TV!" Gwen yelled. "It'll crush him!"
"What will crush me?!" Harold yelled in even more irritation.
"I know!" Trent replied giddily. "Think of the ratings!"
"Ratings?!" Gwen yelled incredulously. "You can't seriously think ratings are more important than people's feelings!"
"This is TV babe," her boyfriend replied with another finger pistol. "And we're TV hosts."
Harold, having been ignored long enough yelled, "SCARLETT'S NOT MY SISTER!" and quickly jumped out of the way of the falling anvil. The hosts gasped and looked at the now destroyed couch. "Sorry guys, but you didn't look like you were stopping anytime soon. Now what's this thing I'm supposed to see?"
"We don't have time to do that and get to Sky's interview," Trent said with a pout.
"But we can squeeze in another question," Gwen said. "So what's the deal with you and Scarlett?"
"What deal?" Harold asked as two interns carried off the broken couch and he and Shawn took their spots on a new one.
"Take a look," Gwen said gesturing to the monitor.
\
The footage cut to showing an elimination from season one.
"Scarlett and DJ," Chris said, "the final marshmallow goes to..."
"DJ."
"What?!" She asked angrily. "Who voted for me? WHO?!"
"Scarlett!" Harold yelled. "Not now! Not here!"
She took a deep breath. "You do realize that I'm counting on you to win this?"
He put a hand on her shoulder, "I know."
"Very well," she said before she walked off.
\
The scene cut back to the interview. Harold looked at Scarlett, who nodded solemnly. "It's not my place to say," he replied seriously, much to his twin's shock.
"Well in that case," Trent said while rubbing his hands in anticipation. "It's time for the guest I've been waiting on all day." The feed on the TV screen started playing the clips of Sky's time on the show.
"Sky started the game as one of the stronger players," Gwen said over a clip of her running from the monster in the first challenge.
"She was chosen as one of the team captains," Trent said over a clip of her winning the second challenge. "Unfortunately, her boyfriend was the other captain," was said over the two finding out the team arrangements.
"With her over competetive nature," Gwen said over a clip of one of Sky's confessionals, "and her already troubled past with Victor getting worse," her kiss with him at his elimination was shown, "things got complicated."
"Of course getting some bad advice from Sugar didn't help," Trent joked over a clip of the two girls' conversation before the prison challenge.
"Eventually Sky's temper was just too much for her team," Gwen said over several clips of Sky yelling at her team. "and after a tiebreaker gone wrong for her," Duncan's trick in the tiebreaker was shown.
"Sky was left without a Guilded Chris," Trent finished as the athlete was shown being escorted to the Lame-osine. The monitor was raised once again and the camera cut back to the hosts. "Our last guest of the night is terrified of cockroaches, belches when she's nervous, and wants to be an Olympic gymnast."
"She also cheated on one boyfriend on national television, dumped him for the guy she kissed, then dumped him on national television," Gwen added. "Let's hear it for Sky!"
The athlete poked her head out and gulped at the loud booing from the audience. "No way I'm going out there," she said to someone off screen... only to be pushe out by a scowling Chef.
Sky walked over to the couch as the audience jeered at her. She took a seat next to Harold on the couch. "Hi everybody," she said awkwardly.
"Wow," Gwen said with a chuckle. "It must be tough coming out here."
She sighed. "It is."
"Oh," Trent chuckled. "It's gonna get tougher. Let's hear what Victor's team had to say about how you left things.
\
"I'm upset about Duncan," Kitsune explained. "You saw how he just brushed me off like that, assuming it wasn't edited out," she said briefly looking to the side. She looked back at the camera and said, "I always thought we were perfect for each other because we both like pranks and jokes. But I also thought Victor and Sky were perfect..."
\
"The uncertain status of my relationship with Sky has demoralized me a fair bit," Victor confessed. "But as team captain, I must not let it affect my performance in challenges. However, if others need some time alone, then I see no reason not to let them have it."
\
"You see all the stuff going on with Kitsune and Duncan and Sky and Victor?" Shawn asked the confessional. "That's why I don't do relationships. Well that.. and the fact that way more guys die in zombie movies because of a girlfriend. And I don't see myself liking a girl enough to risk letting myself become a midnight snack for the brain munchers."
\
"So Sky," Gwen started. "Let's talk about how you could just dump the nicest guy in the world."
"I'd rather not," Sky admitted. "And I didn't dump him."
"But you did blank him after getting kicked off," Trent pointed out.
"I listened to the wrong person," she replied. "If I could go back and redo things I never would've believed Sugar."
"But we're not here to talk about what you would change," Trent retorted. "We're here to talk about what you did, and you did break Victor's heart without a second thought. So start talkin'!"
"Tell the truth and you'll be fine," Shawn whispered in Sky's ear.
"Dude!" Trent complained. "Don't warn her! Just tell the truth, or become even shorrter than you already are," he told her with a chuckle.
"Look," Sky said. "I still like Victor. But I couldn't focus on being with him and the game."
"Too bad it didn't work for you," Trent snarked. "You really have nothing to say about kissing him when you had a boyfriend back home?"
"Well-"
"Hold that thought," Trent interrupted. "We have someone on webcam who really wants to talk to you about that."
The feed on the monitor fizzled and cut to a tallish pale white boy with messy red hair and a nasty glare and wearing a white polo shirt.
"Keith?!" Sky yelled in surprise causing the audience to gasp.
"Sky," the boy spat.
"Look," Sky started. "I'm sorry for how-"
"You cheated on me!" He accused. "With that outdated fop!"
Sky glared at the screen. "Victor is ten times the boyfriend you ever were!" The audience gasped again. "I was going to break up with you before I even made my audition tape, but you wouldn't leave me alone!"
"And he's any better?" Keith mocked.
"Victor respects me! He actualy listens to me when I talk! And he doesn't wave me off!"
"Are you still talking about that? Look babe, you look hot in that leotard, but you can't spend so much time on a hobby."
"This is why I broke up with you! You never listen to me! You just wanted to control me to be your perfect girlfriend. "
"That's because I love you, and that's what you do when you love someone."
"I don't control Victor and I love him!" The audience, hosts, and previous contestants all gasped. Sky, having realized what she said, got up and ran off stage with barely concealed tears.
"Ugh," Kieth said. "She always was too emotional."
"Goodbye Kieth," Gwen said nonchalantly as she pressed a button on a remote and Kieth's feed was cut off.
"Well that was interesting," Trent said with a chuckle.
"It sure was," Gwen agreed. "Join Chris and the others next time for the most shocking episode of Total Drama Action ever!"
The audience cheered one last time and the lights on the stage turned off.
"Trent," Gwen said. "I am not happy about this."
"I know," he boyfriend replied, "but we have to keep our jobs."
Gwen sighed and walked away, leaving Trent looking dejected.

Harold was sitting in the green room by himself when Gwen walked in. "How's Sky doing?" She asked.
"Better now I think," he replied. "So what were you guys talking about showing me?"
The aftermath host handed him a laptop and said, "Here. Watch this."
The dweeb pressed a button and then gasped in shock."
Author's Note Post Script: Not much to say here. All this really does is set up the climax of the next Aftermath and dealing with Trent's new additude.
I can't take credit for Kieth's appearance, he's based on the kid that was trying to recreate DJ's sandwiches. And the idea for him to even be on the show came from a guest reviewer.
There's probably more I should mention, but if you have anyquestions I'll anser them in reviews.
With that I'm signing off
