Finished this one quicker than I thought. I wish I had more to say, but I guess not. Talk to you at the end!
"Last time on Total Drama Omega," Don started, as a shot of Kihci Island was shown. "Dare or truth was the name…wait…truth or dare was the name of the game. There we go. Lots of previously hidden details were suddenly put in the open (Lightning admitting he lives in his dad's shadow, Brick admitting he sees himself as the weakest player), and lots of pain was dealt to our competitors (Scott getting hit with a bag of flour, Scarlett getting dog piled on). Actually when I say lots, I really mean 'not many' because, despite the ten point goal, the competitors couldn't even reach five. It honestly baffles me. Anyways, B got eliminated after a little manipulation from…" he paused. "…Topher."
The camera flashed to reveal the dock, with Don walking along it. "Dawn and Ella have a rather important meeting, Dave is head over heels about Sky, Jo doesn't trust Brick on his loyalty to the alliance and Topher may have secured his trust with Scott. So much to get through, so let's not waste anymore time. This is Total…Drama…Omega!"
The sun was rising, indicating a new day for the competitors. Two were already out and taking in the morning sun. But, that was mainly because neither knew what to say.
Ella and Dawn were in the middle of a picnic, both holding a cup of tea and a small plate of fruit. Ella was sitting contentedly, but Dawn was in her own thoughts. Neither had said a word to each other
Confessional (Dawn): "I'll admit, I'm a little out of my element. I'd usually just tell someone their issues and work from there." She paused. "...ok, they usually look at me like I'm a psycho-which is…slightly unwarranted- and then we work from there." Again, she paused. "Well, most of the time we work through it, the other times, it just ends with the looks of discomfort."
Static
The competitors had arrived at the mess hall and were enjoying breakfast. One, however, was having trouble concentrating.
"I still don't get it." Zoey said, glaring at one of her teammate's. "How is Scott still here?"
Dakota, who was in the middle of taking a bite of her eggs, suddenly stopped. "Wait…were we voting for Scott last night?" Zoey nodded, causing the ex-mutant to slap herself in the forehead. "That's right, I forgot. I voted for…the new guy on our team. He was a real jerk to me. Sorry, Zoey."
The indie chick sighed, but managed a reassuring smile. "It's okay, Dakota. We can try again next time. If we all vote together, we can finally vote him off." Then a thought struck her. She turned away and continued thinking to herself.
She didn't notice Scott, glaring menacingly at her.
Confessional (Topher): "Alright, I'm pretty sure Scott and I are on good terms again. But…maybe I should keep my distance for a bit. If I rush this too quickly, I'll be right back where I started."
Static
At the Newbies table, Jasmine and Brick had finished breakfast and were having a discussion.
"I'm not sure…" Brick started. "I think the last time I went rock climbing was…well, it was the last time I was on Total Drama. But, if you're talking about times when I didn't dislocate my arm or have to deal with falling ice blocks, it was probably…during a training mission at boot camp. I was the first one up before anyone else."
Jasmine nodded, impressed. "You gotta check out the ones in Australia, mate. My dad and I spent some summers climbing. I'm pretty sure I've climbed a quarter of all the mountains there."
As they continued talking, Jo watched them, with narrowed eyes.
Confessional (Jo): "I know I sound like a broken record, but I can't help it. I know Mr. Pushover isn't going to back out of the alliance because of his code, but if he has an ally going into the merge, he's not gonna hesitate to give me the boot. And at this point the best way to get him to stick with me is if he falls in love with me-" She puked violently, covering the camera.
Static
"I've never been to Australia." Brick said. "What's it like?"
Jasmine was about to answer, when she noticed something. Sky had walked up to them. The Aussie glared. "What do you want?"
Sky nervously glanced between them. "I…was hoping I could talk to Brick…alone."
The cadet and Jasmine both shared confused looks. But, eventually, Brick stood up. "Umm…sure. Lead the way." The two went outside, leaving Jasmine to herself.
She narrowed her eyes at the door.
Confessional (Jasmine): "What is she up to? After her whole stunt with Beardo, I don't trust her for a second. If she messes with Brick, she's gonna pay."
Static
Another duo at the Newbies table was also having a chat.
"Confound these eggs." Max declared. "They don't represent the bitter taste that evil brings." With that, he held the pepper shaker over his breakfast and started shaking it.
"Max…" Scarlett sighed. "For the last time, evil is a moral concept based on one's perception. Eating peppery eggs does not automatically make you evil."
The self proclaimed evil genius scoffed. "And that is why you are a henchman woman and I am the master." Pretty soon, the eggs were completely covered in black pepper. "Observe." He stuck his fork into his eggs and took a bite. He chewed for a few moments, then stopped, his eyes suddenly shot open and he looked pained. He kept his mouth shut, as his eyes watered. Finally, he took a big gulp and swallowed. He had to catch his breath, but he managed a grin. "See? That is what true evil tastes like."
Scarlett just slapped her forehead.
On any other day, Dave would've been confused by what had just happened, but today, he had other matters on his mind.
Confessional (Dave): "What can I do to really impress Sky? If she does like me, I assume she's not going to just say it outloud…right?" He sighed. "I guess I could just do well in the challenges…which I've already been doing, so…it shouldn't be much harder than that."
Confessional (Scarlett): "At this point, my annoyance levels are nearly topped. How on earth does someone who thinks adding an absurd amount of pepper to his eggs will make him more evil, have nearly the entire team behind him?" She pondered. "My best course of action is to organize and plant the seeds of distrust to get him eliminated."
Static
Brick soon returned to his table. "So…" Jasmine started. "What did she have to say?"
"She…" Brick wasn't certain how to answer. "Apologized."
Jasmine raised an eyebrow. "To you? For what?"
"It was for how she acted in the dueling sticks challenge. She felt bad for how she berated me and…she said she was sorry."
The tall Australian didn't say anything for a moment. "Do…do you believe her?"
Brick thought about it. "I…don't see any reason she would lie, so-"
"You believe her?!" Jasmine spluttered. "You saw how she set Beardo up. She just wants people to trust her, so it's easier for her to eliminate."
"I don't think she's like that. She probably wants us all focused, if anything. Even if it's not sincere, she probably wants me not worrying about her and instead paying attention to doing well in the challenges."
"But she isn't being sincere." Jasmine countered. "And I seriously can't believe that you're considering that she is." She stood up abruptly. "Look, Brick, I like you, but I don't want you going down the same path as Beardo." She started walking away. "Talk to me when you've changed your mind."
Brick watched her leave. He frowned, feeling somewhat regretful of what he said. But, at the same time, he wanted to be honest with her.
Back at the Rookies table, Lightning was weirdly looking at Sam as he was eating. "Hey, Sam?"
The gamer turned. "What's up, Lightning?"
"There's something Lightning don't understand. You're, like, insanely out of shape…"
"You're just realizing that now?" Sam chuckled.
Lightning continued. "But, somehow, you said you were good at that dancing game?"
"Dance Dance Revolution? Yeah. I'm pretty good at it."
"But, like, that's a game that involves a lot of movement and stepping around, right?"
"Yeah…" Sam wasn't sure where this was going.
"So, like, how are you able to do that, but you can't even do ten pushups."
"Different muscles, I guess."
"But, like…" Lightning was desperate. "...how? It makes no sense."
"Wait a minute!" Zoey suddenly interrupted. "It makes no sense!"
"See?" Lightning exclaimed. "She agrees with Lightning."
"No." Zoey shook her head. "Last night…it doesn't make sense."
"What doesn't make sense?" Dakota asked.
"Scott…he should've gone home. Even if you voted for Topher, it wouldn't have mattered. He should've been eliminated."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, think about it. There were eight of us last night. So, to get Scott out, we would've needed five votes. But, since you voted for Topher, we would've needed four. I know I voted for Scott and I know B and Dawn did the same." She looked at everyone. "And if Dakota voted for Topher, then who…" She trailed off, slowly starting to realize something. "Sam?" She stared at the gamer. "Who did you vote for last night?"
Sam paused from eating, noticing the eyes on him. His girlfriend and his girlfriend's friend. Lightning was also looking, deeply invested in what was going on.
"Babe. You voted with Zoey, right?" Dakota asked nervously.
Sam scratched the back of his head. "I…I mean…don't we kinda need a reason to vote him off?" He said sheepishly.
Zoey and Dakota gasped. "So, who did you vote for then?" Zoey asked.
"Umm…B."
The indie chick's jaw dropped. "You voted for one of our friend's? Someone who could've helped us vote off Scott?"
"I was just trying to be fair. It wasn't like it was Scott's fault we lost."
"But you chose him over your own friend's?!"
"B and I haven't really talked that much, so does that really make us friends?"
Dakota was growing worried. "Umm…guys?"
She went ignored, as Zoey and Sam argued.
"But he's friends with me and Dawn. So does that mean you and I aren't friends?"
"Of course not, but…I don't know, it wouldn't feel right if I voted for him."
Dakota watched on, unsure what to do.
Confessional (Dakota): She sighed and cupped her hands over her face. "This is awful. My best friend and boyfriend are arguing and I don't know what to do. If I pick one side, I might lose the other. I love Sam…but Zoey's my best friend. I mean, Sam should've been voting with us, but…" She sighed, frustrated. "I have no idea how to handle this."
Static
Dawn and Ella were still in the middle of their picnic. Nothing had changed.
Neither had said a word to each other, save the occasional 'thank you' when Dawn was in need of a tea refill. Other than that, it was nothing more than awkward smiles when they made eye contact, followed by even more awkward looks in the other direction.
Finally, Dawn lost patience.
Confessional (Dawn): She sighed. "I suppose something is better than nothing."
Static
The moon child cleared her throat, catching Ella's attention. "I…don't suppose it would be an…illogical assumption that…you…have a fondness for…Disney movies, would it?"
Quickly, Ella went wide eyed and smiled. "Oh, very much so. I absolutely adore the films. Whenever I watch them, I feel like I've been taken to a whole new world…" She paused, and giggled at her unintended pun. "Anyways, the movies are so well made too. I love all of them." She then looked at Dawn. "Can you guess which one is my favorite?"
The moonchild took a slow glance from Ella's shoes to her frilly dress to her dolled up hair and bow. It did not take her long to come up with an answer. "Snow White." It wasn't even a guess.
Ella's mouth went agape. "H-How did you know?"
Dawn thought about her answer. "...lucky guess."
The fairytale princess chuckled. "What about you? Do you like Disney?"
The moonchild scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Disney is nothing more than a soulless corporation, bent on manipulating the young minds into buying their toys and going to their theme parks. And they get away with it, by pretending their movies are some groundbreaking, life changing movements for social change, when, in reality, they just want your wallet. Furthermore, I-" She stopped. Ella was watching her, head slightly tilted and a single eyebrow raised. Dawn immediately knew what that meant.
Confessional (Dawn): "She had absolutely no idea what I was talking about."
Static
"I…" Dawn sighed. "...like Mulan."
Ella's eyes lit up. "Oh, I really like that one too. I saw it, for the first time, last year. The music and the characters were great. I can recite all of the songs by memory." She cleared her throat. "Look at me-"
"Hold on." Dawn interrupted, looking confused. "You…only saw the movie…a year ago?" Ella nodded. "That's…a little surprising. For someone who claims to love the franchise, I'm surprised you haven't already seen all the films when you were little."
"Oh, I only had a select few tapes growing up. We…we…" She trailed off, suddenly growing uncomfortable. She started breathing heavier.
Dawn noticed this. "Oh, that's okay." She said quickly. "Please…continue your song."
Ella looked up at her and managed a small smile. "Yes, thank you." She cleared her throat again. "Look at me. You may think…" As she continued singing, Dawn stared intently.
Confessional (Dawn): "I…think we might have something."
Static
The competitors were soon called and had gathered at the challenge location. They were just outside the cabins. Don was standing at the front, with his head intern standing by a mobile TV screen. "Competitors, I ask you a question." The host began. "Where have you always wanted to go?"
"Rome." Sky answered
"Los Angeles." Lightning said. "Or wherever the next superbowl is."
"Paris." Dakota said, longingly.
"The Mushroom Kingdom." Sam said, confidently, before looking at his girlfriend. "I-I mean…Paris."
"Disney World!" Ella shouted
"Any store that sells a decent brand of manure." Scott shrugged.
"Wonderful." Don said, not really paying attention. "Because today's challenge will take us all around the world…more or less. All challenges will be based on countries and places that come from this big blue marble. It'll be a series of one on one challenges with one Rookie paired against one Newbie. Because of their numbers disadvantage, the Rookies will have two members competing twice."
"We should save our stronger players for later." Sky said. "Jasmine, maybe you-"
"Oh, no!" The aussie snapped. "Don't think for a moment I've forgiven you! I'm not about to let what happened to Beardo happen to me."
Sky sighed, looking annoyed. Dave stepped in. "Hey! Leave her alone! She wants to win just like us. Beardo may have been-" He stopped.
Confessional (Dave): "Oh, right. I hate Beardo." He paused. "Well, I mean, I can't just say that, but…I don't really want to defend him either."
Static
"Beardo was…eliminated, but it wasn't Sky's fault. Let's just focus on the challenge."
Jasmine rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything. Dave backed off. He noticed Sky looking at him. "Thanks, I appreciate it." She said quietly.
Dave blushed again. "Um…" He didn't know what to say. He looked at Don. "So…let's get this thing going already!" He said, desperately.
"Yeah, that's what I was doing." Don said, annoyed. "Anyways, don't worry about who'll go when. I will be the one picking who competes in what challenge. First team to reach five points wins the whole thing. So, let's get into our first challenge." He pressed a button on a remote. The TV screen started flashing multiple colors. It appeared to quickly be going through a bunch of flags. "The first country is…" He pressed the button again. The screen stopped, landing on a flag with three vertical lines, one blue, one white and one red. "France!" Don exclaimed. "And the first two competing are…Scarlett and Topher."
The two stepped forward.
Confessional (Scarlett): "This is my chance to set myself apart from Max and prove my worth. If I can succeed in today's challenge, and Max fails in his, I'll have an argument to get him eliminated."
Static
Don had both competitors standing in front of a wooden easel. "France is known for a lot of things, not including surrendering in wars, and one of them is the art of caricatures-"
"Actually, while the art style was popularized in France," Scarlett interrupted. "It actually holds its origins in Italy and-"
"Thank you, Scarlett." Don said, agitated. "Anyways, what a caricature is, is an exaggerated drawing of a person. Emphasis on 'exaggerated.' Make a decent enough one of one of your teammates and you'll win the first point. You'll have twenty minutes, starting…now."
Both competitors nodded and turned to look at their teammates.
Confessional (Scarlett): "Wonderful. Not only do I have an opportunity to show my worth, but I've also been given a chance at humiliating one of my teammates." She chuckled darkly. "It shouldn't be hard to figure out who I'm referring to."
Confessional (Topher): He was holding his picture up to the camera. It was a lightning bolt with eyes, stick arms and stick legs. "I don't know about you, but I might be the next Robert De Niro…of art."
Static
Soon, both of them were done. Scarlett handed her caricature over to Don. He stared at it, with a raised eyebrow. "Scarlett, you drew…Max?"
"Ah, yes." The redhead said proudly. "It must be hard to tell with exaggerated proportions. You see-"
"No, actually." Don said, turning it around. "It looks…exactly like Max." Sure enough, it was Max. As in, an exact copy of the self-proclaimed evil genius.
Scarlett shook her head. "No, no, no. You're not seeing it." She pointed at the area between its eyes. "As you can see, the spacing between Max's eyes are two centimeters closer together, almost making it a unibrow." She then pointed at Max's mouth. "And not only that, I have made it appear as though he has chapped lips. Note the cracks along his mouth."
Don was not convinced in the slightest. He went over to Scarlett's opponent. "Well, Topher, with Scarlett's drawing done with, it would appear the only way for you to lose this challenge is if you gave me nothing at all." Topher proudly handed Don his caricature. The host looked it over, before frowning. Then it turned into a reluctant shrug. "Well…it doesn't look anything like Lightning, but I did say you would only lose if you handed me nothing and this is far more exaggerated than Scarlett's."
The genius redhead was confused. "On what basis is his better than mine? That's a cartoon drawing. Did you not see the large spacing between his eyebrows?"
"I didn't. And no one else could either. Therefore, by default, Topher wins the first point for his team." The Rookies cheered.
Lightning swiped the caricature from Don. He scanned it, then put it down. A single tear rolled down his cheek. "This is…sha-art."
Scarlett walked back to her team, defeated.
"You had the chance to make me an evil emperor or a ruthless dictator and you failed." Max berated. "Your worth to me is fleeting, so you better make it right, henchman woman."
Scarlett glared and gnashed her teeth. Then she noticed all her other teammates looking disappointed. Suddenly, her anger was replaced with uneasiness.
The TV again began spinning. The competitors had been brought to the dock. The screen soon stopped and displayed another flag. This one had the union jack symbol on the top left corner and a series of white, red and blue horizontal lines. "Our next…well, not a country, but our next challenge will be based around…Hawaii! One of the most beautiful and relaxing of the fifty states, it's also one of the most popular places for honeymoons." He pointed to the water. "Both competitors must swim to the bottom and retrieve five wedding rings. You may only bring up one at a time and the first to snag five will win this challenge." The screen dinged, revealing the next two competitors. "Jo and Zoey will be partaking in this one, so get to it, ladies."
The jockette and indie chick jumped in. The rest of the competitors were left in awkward silence.
Sam glanced over at his girlfriend, still thinking about how she was feeling.
Confessional (Sam): "I don't really think I did anything wrong by not voting for Scott." He paused to consider. "But…I guess I probably should've told Dakota what I was doing."
Static
As Jo brought up a ring, Brick was also deep in thought over what to do. But it was about Jasmine. He was standing next to her. She suddenly turned and looked at him. The cadet smiled, nervously. Jasmine glared and quickly turned away. Brick sighed.
Confessional (Brick): "I can't really take back what I said because that would be going against my code. But, I don't want Jasmine to be mad at me. I like her." He froze, suddenly blushing. "I-I like…hanging out with her."
Static
Sky watched the two competitors, as Zoey brought up another ring. Dave walked up to her. "Hey…" He tried thinking of what to say.
Confessional (Dave): "I guess flattery might be a nice thing to hear…or does that make me sound too desperate?"
Static
"...I think you could've done well in this challenge."
Sky raised an eyebrow. "Why's that?"
"Because…y'know, you're training to be in the Olympics. You gotta be pretty good at…swimming."
"I mean, I am a pretty good swimmer, but I'm training for gymnastics, not swimming."
Dave realized his mistake. "I…what I mean is…" He was desperate for a response. "You…have good legs to…do…swimming. Gymnastics…needs…good legs too…right?"
Sky shrugged. "I guess, but I doubt I'm the only one who would do well. Everyone of our teammates has their own strengths too." She went back to focusing on the challenge.
Dave was a little confused.
Confessional (Dave): "Why couldn't she have just taken the compliment? I said she has nice legs and…nothing." He took a deep breath. "I need to be patient. I still have no idea if I'm doing this right."
Static
Ella was standing by herself, not engaging with anyone. She then noticed a bird fly up next to her. "Oh, hello." She held her finger out, so it could perch on it. "And what can I help you with?" The bird tweeted in response. Ella's eyes lit up. "A song? Of course, I would love to hear it." The bird began, chirping away a musical tune. As it continued, it started flapping its wings and flying around, in tune with the beat. It finished with a shrill, long call, gracefully landing back on Ella's hand. The fairytale princess was amazed. "That was…incredible. Thank you so much for gracing me with such a performance." The bird shook its head and tweeted. Ella raised an eyebrow. "It wasn't your idea? Then…why did you do it?"
The bird extended its wing. Ella looked at where it was pointing. Dawn was also watching the challenge, but shot a careful look at Ella's direction and a small smile. The fairytale princess was speechless.
Confessional (Dawn): "These little acts of kindness will do great in helping Ella open up more. I suppose in all my aura readings, I've never considered that making those people comfortable -as opposed to mildly disturbed- is a key in confronting their dark secrets."
Static
"And that makes five!" All the competitors turned. Jo had just pulled herself out of the water, proudly standing in front of her pile of five rings, next to Zoey's pile of three. Don continued. "And with a win for the Newbies, the score is tied at one a piece."
The indie chick soon pulled herself up. She was disappointed at the loss and looked towards her teammates. Most didn't notice, but Zoey did see Scott…glaring directly at her. She was confused, but didn't say anything.
The next two competitors were ready for their challenge.
"Sam and Dave," Don announced, pointing at the screen, which already had the chosen country on it. The flag was white with a red cross on it. "Your country is England." In front of him was a table with two sets of five different statues on it. "I have five very important pieces of English history in front of me." He pointed at each of them. "Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey, Tyne Bridge, Buckingham palace and good ol' Big Ben. For your challenge, you have to correctly place the order in which these landmarks were created from oldest to youngest. The challenge will end once someone gets it right. You may begin now."
The two stepped forward towards their sets of statues.
Confessional (Sam): "I'm not really much of a history buff, but I did play a video game that took place in England. I'm pretty sure there was some history in the cutscenes…that I mostly skipped over."
Confessional (Scarlett): She looked annoyed. "Of course, my challenge was some ridiculous drawing fiasco, while the simpletons get a challenge based on history, something I can answer in five seconds maximum."
Static
The redhead watched enviously as Dave fumbled with the Tyne Bridge statue. He placed it on the left, which further frustrated Scarlett. He then placed Big Ben next to it. The genius couldn't take it anymore. "That's not where-"
Don suddenly appeared, putting a finger up to her lips. "No outside help from teammates. Do that again and Dave is disqualified." He went back, leaving behind a stunned Scarlett and her glaring teammates.
Soon, Dave and Sam had their first attempt done. Don looked at them. "Neither of you are correct. Try again."
Both sighed, as they started their second try.
"Come on, Dave. You can do it!" Sky called.
A small smile crept across Dave's face. He presented his next try. Still wrong.
"It's okay, Dave!" The Olympian shouted again. "Don't let it get you down!"
Scarlett was confused. "Why is she allowed to-"
"I don't wanna hear from you." Don said. "You already tried cheating once, I can't trust you to do it again."
The redhead grumbled.
Dave then realized something. He switched the statues around. Don stared at it. "Dave, that's the same order you already did."
"I know." He said. "Just say it's wrong."
Don was confused, but obliged. "Wrong again."
"You'll get it next time!" The Olympian called.
Again, Dave smiled. Don watched on, slightly weirded out.
Sam had presented his next order, which was also incorrect. He looked back at his teammates. He noticed his girlfriend. The two happened to lock eyes, which surprised Dakota. She quickly turned away. The gamer frowned.
In his distracted state, he was surprised to hear Don's voice. "And Dave secures the point for his team."
Everyone looked, Dave had his statues lined up, with Westminster Abbey first, then Buckingham Palace, then Big Ben, then Tower Bridge and finally, Tyne Bridge. Evidently, this was the correct answer.
Confessional (Dave): "I didn't actually mean to get it right that time. I kinda liked the cheering." He sighed, longingly. "Especially from Sky." He gave an odd look, then turned to the camera. "Does an elevated heart rate mean I'm in love, or I should see a doctor? I'm still not sure how to handle this new feeling."
Static
"With the score at 2-1, let's see if the Rookies can tie things up again." Don announced, about to press the button to reveal the next flag. It was another white flag, but with a single red dot in the center. "Japan! You want a vending machine that probably has an entire car in it? Then this is the country you're looking for!"
The chosen competitors were Dakota and Brick.
Confessional (Dakota): "I need a distraction. This whole thing with my boyfriend and Zoey is stressing me out." She tried to look confident. "I won us our last challenge, and I'll win here too."
Static
The interns had rolled in a large platform. Dakota and Brick stepped onto it. The interns then threw them each a wooden stick. Don then pressed a button.
"Woah, what's going on?" Brick exclaimed, trying to remain upright.
The platform had started raising and the surfaces they were standing on shrink slightly, creating several gaps. The platform stopped raising, once it was six feet in the air.
"Challenge is simple." Don casually explained. "First one to fall loses. And go!"
Both competitors were more focused on balancing themselves, than knocking the other off. Once they were balanced, neither were sure what to do.
"Hey." Brick said. "Good to see you, Dakota."
"You…too." Dakota awkwardly responded.
"Come on!" Jo exclaimed. "Hit each other!"
The two eventually figured they should and clashed sticks. Brick almost slipped off and had to jump to another platform. Dakota, with her massive height, found it difficult to move around.
Confessional (Dakota): "Honestly, when I was up there, I was kinda hoping Jasmine was watching. I know we're on opposite teams, but I really wanted her to be impressed by what she saw."
Static
"You got this one, babe!"
Dakota's concentration was suddenly broken. She pushed Brick back, enough to turn around. She saw her boyfriend, smiling up at her, giving a thumbs up.
Confessional (Sam): "I don't know, I guess I felt like I owed her one. Maybe me being a supportive boyfriend might earn me some points."
Static
Dakota couldn't help but blush, when she saw what Sam was doing. But then, her eyes wandered over to Zoey and she was instantly reminded of how she felt earlier. She turned back around to face Brick and swung. The cadet ducked it. The momentum carried Dakota around and she swayed.
Brick saw the opportunity and stuck his stick out, pushing into Dakota's stomach. "Sorry." The cadet said and pushed forward. It wasn't a big push, but it was enough to knock Dakota back and off the platform. Thankfully, the interns had placed a mattress underneath, so the ex-mutant's fall had a soft landing.
With Brick still standing, the Newbies now had three points, to the Rookies one.
Zoey looked on as Dakota got back on her feet.
"You're gonna just stand there and watch? Not surprised."
The indie chick turned. No one was looking at her. But, she did suddenly realize that Scott was standing next to her.
The competitors had arrived at the next challenge location, next to a tall cliffside. The screen was already showing the country of choice. It had several blue and white horizontal lines, with a white cross on the top left corner. "Greece! Democracy, the Olympics, showers and those oh so delicious gyros are just some of the many things we have to thank them for. But, not just that, it's also a choice place to do some sick rock climbing." He then pointed at the wall of rock behind him. "And that's what you'll be doing. Or rather…" He waited for the screen to show the next competitors. "...Jasmine and Dawn will be doing. The interns will attach the climbing equipment, while the rest of us meet you at the top."
Jo looked around. "So…what, are we also climbing the wall?"
Don shook his head. He pulled out a remote and pressed it. An elevator style door opened behind some nearby rocks. Inside was a large cube room.
"You built an elevator inside the mountain?" Scarlett said, amazed. She, and the others, started walking in. "How on earth did you do that?"
"Oh, easy." Don said. "What we did was-" He was cut off by the elevator closing.
As she was strapped in to start climbing, Jasmine was having trouble focusing.
Confessional (Jasmine): "I still don't get why Brick trusts Sky. She's just setting him up, like she did with Beardo. And…if he wants to believe her, fine. But he can't blame me when she stabs him in the back."
Static
Soon, Don and the other competitors were at the top. "Competitors, your challenge starts…now!" He shouted.
Immediately, Jasmine started climbing. It all came naturally to her. She knew rock to climb and which ones to avoid.
Dawn hadn't started yet. She wasn't sure how to handle this. Suddenly, a bird swooped down and chirped at her. "Oh, hello." The bird tweeted. Dawn raised an eyebrow. "How…could you help me? I don't think you'll be able to carry me." The bird chirped again, gesturing towards the rocks. "Oh, I see. Alright, lead the way."
Jasmine was still climbing. She easily pulled herself up and onto the next rock. She still couldn't shake Brick from her head. I can't let him distract me. She thought. He's one his own for this one. She shook her head and continued. Finally, with one big pull, she pulled herself to the top. The aussie stood up, proud of herself. "Easy peas…" Her celebration faltered, as she saw what was on the top.
Sure enough, there was Dawn, casually sitting on a rock.
Jasmine was stunned. "Wha- How?! How did you get here before me?"
The bird fluttered onto Dawn's finger. "I had a little help from my aviary friend." She didn't see Ella, in the back, celebrating to herself.
This win put the Rookies up by another point, giving them two, while the Newbies still had three.
Jasmine grunted. "Dang it!" She stomped the ground in a fit of rage. However, she stepped on a bad spot. The ground suddenly crumbled beneath her and fell off the cliff. The aussie didn't realize the trouble she was in, until it was too late. She started falling.
She screamed, as she saw the other competitors disappear from sight. Then, suddenly, she stopped. She was suspended in mid-air. She felt something holding onto her arm. She looked up and was amazed.
Brick was clutching her arm, while also holding himself up. He was clearly struggling, as his muscles tensed up and his face strained.
Jasmine…was in awe.
Confessional (Jasmine): She was struggling to find the words. "I…I don't think anyone's ever held me up like that…at all. I think the last time I was held was by my dad…when I was like, two." Her cheeks started glowing red. "Brick is pretty freaking strong."
Confessional (Dakota): "Dang it! That would've been the perfect chance to show Jasmine my strength. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad she didn't fall…but…it should've been me."
Static
Still straining, Brick used his other hand to grab Jasmine's arm. He took a deep breath and pulled her up, enough to pull herself back up.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you alright?" Brick asked.
Jasmine snapped out of her awestruck trance. "Um…y-yeah, I'm…I'm good." She felt herself blushing. "H-How are you?"
"I'm…good?" Brick said, confused.
Jasmine chuckled nervously. "T-That's…good. We're both good."
Confessional (Jo): She groaned. "It's spreading…"
Static
"Alright, sorry to break the moment." Don said, walking up to them. "Brick, awesome rescue there. Jasmine, while you're alive, you still lost the challenge unfortunately."
Sky suddenly stepped in. "That doesn't matter, Jasmine might be…Jasmine?" She looked at her teammate.
Jasmine was not paying attention. She was watching Brick, who was stretching his arms, after holding her up for so long. She hadn't noticed it before, but he had a nice pair of toned muscles on his arms. She couldn't help but continue staring at them.
The competitors had arrived at an open field. The TV screen was already there, with the country already shown. It had two red lines and one big yellow one in the middle. There was also a multicolored shape near the middle. It had two towers and a crown.
"Spain!" Don announced. "Known for its flamenco dancing, bull fights and treating soccer like the Second Coming." Mildred stepped up next to him. "And my head intern will be part of this challenge."
The blonde intern rolled her eyes. "What? Am I going to dress up as a bull and chase them around? Or challenge them to a dance fight? Or are they just going to chuck soccer balls at me?"
Don grinned. "Nope, none of those things. You're gonna take part in a very well renowned tradition in Spain." Mildred seemed intrigued. Don reached behind his back and pulled out…
"A tomato?" The intern pondered. "Am I throwing it at them?" Don shook his head, still smirking. Realization struck Mildred. "They're going to be throwing them at me, aren't they?"
Don nodded and turned to the board. It had already landed on the two competitors who would take part in the challenge. "Max and Scott, another famous tradition in Spain is the act of throwing tomatoes. You two will have the space here." He then pointed to his left, where some other interns were dropping off boxes of tomatoes. "And all these delicious and ripe pieces of fruit to throw at my head intern. First to hit her three times will win."
Both competitors got in position, armed with tomatoes. Mildred was understandably worried, as they eyed her. From the sidelines, Scarlett watched, unamused.
Confessional (Scarlett): "Obviously, Max will have some sort of invention that wins him the challenge. It doesn't matter how improbable it is, it's happened too many times. At the very least, my disappointment will only be…subpar."
Static
The challenge began and Scott immediately threw the first tomato. Mildred didn't have time to react and it hit her in the face, bursting on impact. First point went to Scott.
Max went to throw his tomato. But his throw landed a few feet away from Mildred.. Scarlett rolled her eyes.
Confessional (Scarlett): "Obviously, just a setup for my own disappointment. But, I'm too smart to be fooled."
Static
Scott threw a second tomato. Mildred dodged it, but barely. Max went for another throw, but it missed.
"Having fun there?" Don asked, gleefully.
Mildred glared. "What do you think-" A tomato to the face cut her off. Scott grinned. Scarlett raised an eyebrow. She looked over at Max, who was growing frustrated.
Confessional (Scarlett): "So…does Max not actually have a plan this time? Is…has his luck finally dissipated?" A small smile was forming.
Static
Max stomped his foot to the ground. "Confound these wretched pieces of produce. I command you to strike the weakling!" He gathered a few more.
Scott threw another. Mildred narrowly avoided it. Scott chucked another. The blonde intern staggered to the right and dodged it. However, she couldn't stop herself and slipped and fell to the ground. The country boy grinned as he aimed.
At that moment, a hawk flew behind them and squawked loudly. It threw Scott off his concentration and he dropped his tomato at his feet. Max, meanwhile, was also startled. He yelped and threw his tomatoes into the air. They went high above the ground, before beginning their downward descent.
Mildred, who was still lying on the ground, rubbed her head. A tomato suddenly splattered onto her shoulder, then another hit her other shoulder and the last one exploded on top of her head.
The Newbies and Rookies started, dumbfounded. None more so than Scarlett.
Confessional (Scarlett): She sighed. "I suppose that's what I get for having even the slightest bit of hope."
Static
Don stepped forward, next to the tomato stained Mildred. "And it looks like, thanks to his clever plan, Max has earned his team their fourth point, putting them one win away from winning the entire thing."
Max stared, then quickly stood up straight. "Um…yes, yes of course. All part of the plan. It's important to give them a sense of victory, because it'll be oh so satisfying when you crush their dreams into dust!"
While the rest of her teammates were impressed (and a little weirded out), Scarlett's skin was glowing red (like a tomato).
Scott walked towards his teammates. He looked bitter about the loss.
Zoey stepped towards him. "So, Scott, I thought you were trying to actually win for us, but now, you…" She trailed off, as Scott had just walked right past her, not saying a word. Zoey was surprised.
The screen showed the next two competitors.
"And, in a rematch from the Truth or Dare challenge, Lightning and Ella will take part in the next challenge." The screen then showed a series of flashing flags. It stopped on one with three horizontal lines, one orange, one white and one green. And in the center of it was a blue circle shape. "India!" Don exclaimed. "Only the 7th largest country in the world, it also holds twenty two different languages and is the largest producer of spices in the world. It's also the producer of a drink. One that is as healthy as it is gross…" He then presented each competitor with a tall glass filled with yellow liquid. "Gomutra!" Don happily said.
From the sidelines, Dave gave a face of disgust. Sky noticed. "What's that?"
"It's…" Dave hesitated. "Ummm…it's…" He was too nervous to say anything, especially with Sky around. "It's…it's pretty gross because it's…"
"Cow urine." Scarlett answered plainly. "They have to drink cow urine."
Sky recoiled. "Ew! Why do they have to drink that?"
"Gomutra is believed to be a cure to most known diseases." Scarlett said. "It's a rather imbecilic belief, if you ask me."
"Tell that to my mom." Dave sighed. "She made me drink that whenever I was sick and it tasted like-" He stopped, realizing Sky was looking at him. "It…uhhh, it didn't taste good, but…I mean, I haven't drank it for years, so…my mouth doesn't taste like pee, at least." He chuckled nervously and turned away, slowly realizing how terribly he handled that.
Ella and Lightning began their challenge. The mega jock took his glass. "So, it's basically just milk. Don't know why it's yellow, but maybe they're different in Indiana." He took a drink and immediately gagged, before putting his glass back down. "Ugh! That was sha-nasty."
Ella also took a sip and cringed. "Oh my! That was…rather unpleasant." She took another small sip and had the same reaction.
Both competitors repeated this, drinking it, but in small sips.
"Well, this is gonna take a while." Don mumbled.
Dawn was watching Ella, nervously.
Confessional (Dawn): "While it seems unlikely, I can't take the risk of Ella suddenly developing a moral objection to drinking something from an animal. It seems implausible, but when dealing with someone as unhinged as her, I can't take that risk."
Static
Since Dawn wasn't directly helping Lightning, she was allowed to talk to him. "Lightning!" She called. "Drinking cow urine has been a proven benefit to people's health…"
"N-No, it hasn't." Scarlett said, but she was ignored.
"...that might include your…" She tried thinking of something. "Your…bad knee!"
The mega jock raised an eyebrow. "Lightning don't have a bad knee. He has two good ones."
"Yes, but…you might get bad ones some day. And cow urine has been proven to help with…not having bad knees."
Lightning pondered about this. He looked down at his glass and grabbed it. He used his other hand and pinched his nose. Then he leaned back and poured the whole drink down his throat. Tears built up in his eyes, but he kept going. He finally put the now empty glass down. He was breathing heavily and some of the Gomutra was still on his lips.
"Well…I'd say that's good enough to earn you your third point," Don explained.
"Oh god, I can smell it from here." Dave gagged.
"Can the Rookies pull off a massive comeback?" Don narrated. "They still need one more to tie things up. So, let's see if they can do that in the next challenge."
Don stood next to the mobile TV, which showed the next two competitors. "Looks like Sky will be competing. And, since we got through all the Rookies, we'll start again with Sam." There country had three differently colored horizontal lines, with a checkered logo in the center. "Croatia." Don announced. "Home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. And, as you'll soon find out, provided the main filming location for a popular TV show-"
"Game of Thrones!" Sam answered, excitedly. "Are you telling me this challenge is based off of one of the greatest TV shows of all time?!"
"Yes." Don said, slightly annoyed at being interrupted. He snapped his fingers. Some of the interns came up, holding bits of cardboard, including a tube. "Since, obviously, we can't re-enact the more…bloody aspects of the show, this is the best we can get. Basically, this challenge is a one on one duel. You have armor and your weapon. Three direct hits means victory for one of you."
The competitors were soon set up for their challenge. They were cardboard helmets and two thin pieces of cardboard draped over their chests and back. Both were holding brown tubes, with customized handles taped to the end they were holding, making them look more like swords.
Don took out a powder horn. "Let the games begin!" He blew into it.
Sky readied herself in a fighting stance. Her concentration was quickly broken. "What are you doing?" She said to her opponent.
Sam was slowly moving his body, humming as he did. He continued, making more movements.
Again, Sky asked. "Seriously, what are you doing?"
"Dance off, bro." Sam said, thrusting his arm in and out. "You and me." As he continued, he started moving closer.
Confessional (Lightning): "Well, I'll be sha-damned! Dude's got moves."
Static
Sky had elected not to partake, continuing to stare.
Sam glanced a look at his team. Most of them were just as puzzled as Sam's opponent. But the gamer did take note of his girlfriend looking away. He frowned, but turned his attention back to Sky. He was soon only a few feet away. He saw a chance and lunged forward, with his sword.
The olympian saw it coming and easily stepped to the side. She brought her sword down on Sam's hand, causing him to drop his weapon.
One
She then brought her sword back and quickly poked him in the side.
Two
Finally, she brought her sword over her head and brought it down onto Sam's neck.
Three
Sam didn't even have time to react to getting hit because of how fast Sky was. He awkwardly reached down to pick up his sword. "H-How many hits was that?"
"Three." Don answered. "And, with that victory, The Newbies earn their fifth point, which means they are the winners…again." He sighed, turning to the Rookies. "I was hoping for a bit of a comeback on your guys' part, but, unfortunately, much like the last season of Sam's favorite show, that was a major disappointment. You know the drill, at this point." He then turned to the Newbies, with a much more cheerful demeanor. "As for you guys, I hope you have enough room for…a pool table!"
The Newbies cheered, while the Rookies watched on, enviously.
Both teams were soon heading back to the cabins. Obviously, the Rookies weren't too happy. But, one was upset for different reasons.
Confessional (Dakota): "I still don't know what I'm going to do about Sam and Zoey. I know she's still upset about what Sam was doing, but…" She sighed. "I need something else to distract me."
Static
Dakota turned to one of her other friends. "Dawn, who are we voting for this time? I figured Scott again, but I just wanna be sure."
The moonchild thought for a moment.
Confessional (Dawn): "I'll admit, in all my dealings with Ella, I haven't thought much about Scott. I suppose fate has something different in store for him, if we've failed four times. Maybe it's time to go in a different direction."
Static
"I think we should vote for Topher. He might've had something to do with B's elimination. I sensed it…well, more because he had a big grin on his face when it happened."
Dakota nodded. "Ok, let's do it." She thought about bringing up her issues with Sam and Zoey, but decided against it.
Ahead of them, Sam had overheard them.
Confessional (Sam): " I really messed up. I don't hate Scott, but if it meant keeping him around would've hurt my relationship with Dakota, I would've voted for him the first chance I got. I'll vote with them tonight, to make up for my mistake."
Static
Zoey had split off from the rest of the group, as they were heading towards the cabins. She was deep in thought over the challenge.
Confessional (Zoey): "I feel kinda bad over what happened. Sure, I wanted Scott gone, but I didn't want it to come at the expense of my friend's relationship." She took a deep breath and sighed. "But, maybe it's not as bad as I'm making it out to be. Sam and Dakota just need to talk it over, I'll apologize and we can get back to getting rid of Scott."
Static
"So, you do know what it's like to feel guilty."
Zoey turned. There was Scott, glaring coldly at her, leaning against a tree.
The very red-head frowned. "You don't need to rub it in, Scott. You're already a jerk enough."
The country boy just scoffed. "Oh, I'm the jerk? Alright, whatever helps you sleep at night."
"What are you talking about? You're just as responsible for what happened between Sam and Dakota."
"Hey, I didn't tell Soft Serve anything. It was his choice to not vote for me. But, it was your choice to hang it over his head and make your bestie question her relationship."
Zoey sighed. "Alright, fine. I messed up. But, unlike you, it's not like I wanted to hurt them. You're a jerk by choice."
Scott raised an eyebrow. "Oh…" He said, quietly, looking down. "I see."
Zoey was confused. "What…what are you doing?"
"I'm a jerk by choice, aren't I? And you're not, is that what you're saying?"
"Y-Yeah."
Scott let out a long sigh. "So…what do you call last season, then?"
"What...?" Zoey was dumbfounded. "What on earth are you talking about? You're the one who got two of my friends and my boyfriend eliminated. Not to mention, you-"
"I'm talking about the finale!" Scott snapped, a hint of bitterness in his tone.
Zoey still didn't get it. "W-We weren't in the finale, though. What are you getting at?"
"We were in the finale. On the sidelines. Well, you guys were. I was…" He trailed off, angrily looking away.
"Scott, are you blaming me for you getting put in that trauma chair? That wasn't my fault. It was Chris, who-"
Scott put his hand up. "I know it was Chris! But you know what hurts more? Being laughed at. And that's exactly what you, and everyone else did. You laughed at me, during my lowest point in life." Zoey's mouth fell slightly agape. She wanted to say something, but words were now failing. Scott continued. "You can call me a jerk, but all I was doing was trying to win. It was nothing personal, I just did what I had to do. So, you can claim you're all sunshine and happy times, but that doesn't change the fact that you laughed at someone who couldn't talk, eat or even move on his own. So, if I'm a jerk, what does that make you?"
Zoey was stunned. Of all things she was expecting Scott to say, that was definitely not one of them. She struggled to say anything. "I…you…But I…" She held her head, trying to make sense of it all. "That…But, I wasn't…You kinda…I…I…" Finally, she put her hands down and looked at her teammate. She was on the verge of tears. "Scott…I'm so…so sorry. I…I don't…there's no excuse for what I did. I laughed at you when you were at your lowest point."
The country boy just stared blankly at her.
"And…and I never realized it until now." Zoey went on. "There's not a single thing I can say that'll make it up to you." She looked at him. "Is there?"
Scott thought for a moment. "I'll tell you what. You've been trying to vote me off, since we got there. So, for tonight, and only tonight, I want you to vote with me."
Zoey frowned. She knew where this was going and didn't like it. Despite that, she still nodded. "Who do you want me to vote for?"
Scott opened his mouth, but didn't immediately answer. "I'll tell you later." He said. "But, I think we're done here for now."
Zoey glumly got up. "I'm…sorry, Scott. I really am." She whispered and trudged away.
The country boy watched her leave. Once she was out of sight, Scott wiped his eyes with his arm.
And a small smile crept across his face. "And that is how you get an annoying redhead off your back."
From a nearby bush, Topher popped up. His eyes were wide with admiration. "That. Was. Unbelievable." He said. Scott took a mock bow.
Confessional (Scott): "Do I actually care that I was laughed at while in the trauma chair?" He shrugged. "Eh, not really. I probably would've done the same, if it were me."
Static
Topher continued the praise. "I mean, you look up the textbook definition of manipulation and you'd see something like that. How you just emotionally played her into doing what you want and-" He stopped, realizing something. "Hey, why didn't you tell her who to vote for?"
Scott considered his words. "I…I figured we should let her wallow in her guilt a little. Telling her too early might make her rethink her choice."
Topher nodded, then walked away. Scott watched him.
Confessional (Scott): "The real reason I didn't tell her there is because…I'm not sure if I want to keep Topher around. Sure, he's done better, but he almost cost me big time once. He might have to learn the hard way that you don't make mistakes around me."
Static
Later that night, the elimination ceremony was just beginning.
Don stood in the front with the tomato covered Mildred holding the tray of marshmallows. The competitors were noticeably quiet. Dakota had her body completely turned the other way, so her boyfriend couldn't see how upset she was. Sam didn't have to see her face to know. Zoey was watching her friends, then she turned to Scott, who simply nodded at her. He then turned his attention to Topher, who was sitting quietly, unaware he was being stared at.
Confessional (Topher): "After today, I'll tell Scott what I did. Then, we can go back to being allies, before I eventually turn on him. And, of course, set myself up to be the greatest contestant this show has ever seen."
Don spoke up. "Looks like you guys are on another losing streak. Trying to break your previous record?" No response. Don shrugged. "Let's get rolling. Our first marshmallow goes to…Lightning."
The mega jock caught his treat, somewhat annoyed. "Lightning likes being first, but not like this."
"Take your wins when you can." Dawn said, effortlessly catching her own marshmallow. "Otherwise, you'll be denying yourself your own happiness."
Lightning just shrugged in response and took a bite of his treat.
"Dakota…Zoey…" He paused, with only two marshmallows remaining. "Surprisingly, the penultimate marshmallow goes to…Scott. For the first time, you aren't in the bottom two." He tossed the immunity treat, which the country boy contentedly caught.
Topher went wide eyed, as he suddenly realized something. "Wait, what?!" He looked back at Scott, who was chewing his marshmallow. He looked at Topher and winked at him. The wannabe was terrified.
Sam was also looking pretty nervous.
"Topher, Sam, one of you is leaving and not coming back. And that person is…"

"…Sam."
Topher breathed a sigh of relief.
Confessional (Scott): "Yeah, the more I thought about it, keeping Sam wasn't a good idea. When push comes to shove, he'd choose his girlfriend over me. Now I've got a guilt ridden redhead who just dug her own grave and a sucker ready for manipulation."
Static
Sam stood up suddenly, more defeated than surprised.
"No…" He heard.
The gamer turned to see his girlfriend, holding her knees. She was still looking away, but Sam saw a droplet of water hit the ground by her feet. He sighed. "I'm sorry, babe. I should've told you from the beginning." He waited for a response, but didn't get one. He walked away towards the dock.
Zoey, who was sitting next to Dakota, put her hand up to give a comforting pat on the back. She stopped before she could do it…and slowly put her hand back down.
Sam was strapped into the jetski. Don and some of the Rookies were there to see him off. "Well, Sam I hope there's some jet ski simulators you played, because this might be uncomfortable for you." Sam just sighed.
Mildred had just strapped him in, and gave Don the signal to start things off. Unaware of the pile of rope at her feet.
Don spoke into a walkie and the boat started. Sam was pulled forward. As he was dragged into the air, the pile of rope was also getting pulled, as it had gotten latched onto the jet ski setup. Mildred noticed, but it was too late. The rope reached the end and latched around Mildred's foot. She was pulled off the dock, screaming all the way.
As Sam was lifted into the air, so was Mildred, dangerously (and hilariously) hanging upside down.
Don was at the dock, ready to sign off. "Well it looks like things are getting interesting. With Sam now gone, he leaves behind his distressed girlfriend and her redheaded friend." He paused. "Well, friend for now. The fallout of this elimination should lead to some juicy development. We'll see where this goes on the next episode…of Total Drama Omega! See you there!" As he waved off, in the background, Mildred's rope snapped and she fell, still screaming, into the water.
With Don being the host of the show, it only makes sense to have a Ridonculous Race inspired challenge. And let me tell you, the research I put into all those place took several...minutes...on Google.
Fun fact: the scene of Scott manipulating Zoey was something I planned during the planning stage. It's honestly something I'm proud of. But yeah, Sam is gone, Dakota is down in the dumps and Zoey is probably feeling all kinds of guilt.
I like Sam a lot, but I needed him gone. Too much going on with everyone else. Let me know what you like and even what you don't. As always, I love hearing from all y'all. See you for the next one. Should be a fun one.
