Wow, almost fifty reviews, and I haven't even gotten to ten chapters yet! Once again, I thank all of my reviewers!

slendie258: I'm glad you enjoyed my last chapter, in spite of it's short length. As for the request for Heather to make it to the merge, I can't confirm or deny it, but I will say this: I have the order in which every contestant is eliminated written out in stone, so I'm not gonna change that.

RedEyedWarrior: I certainly have no plans to stop my numerous fourth-wall breaking jokes; I just wanted to end the chapter with three questions starting with 'Can', and needed a third one. Yeah, I'm putting in several other references to the Cheesebub's hilarious story in this chapter, plus, I might do another episode based off of Total Drama Returns (If only because I want to title an episode 'Total Drama Returns' RPublish-eturns). I'm glad you really like all of my pairings and interactions; I've said this before, but my favorite thing to write in Total Drama Fan-Fics is character interaction.

While it is true that there are a few people who don't like Owen (Heather, Alejandro, Courtney to an extent), all the other contestants really like the chubby competitor. Take a look at the Total Drama Action Ocean's 8 or 9, where Owen went on a cannibalistic rampage and tried to eat his teammates, directly causing his team to lose; and in spite of that, his teammates thought that Courtney eliminating Owen was horrible and uncalled for, a testament to both the contestant's love for Owen and to Total Drama Action's poor writing. And yes, Pablo, being the story's main antagonist, is practically obligated to use the growing gap in Duncan and Gwen's relationship to his advantage. Anyways, I always enjoy your reviews and hopefully you'll enjoy this chapter!

Potterpalgirl123: I'm glad you enjoyed that Spongebob reference.

ForteKham617: I'm glad your computer was fixed! Don't worry about your late reviews; you still hold a special place in my heart, since you were the very first person to follow, fave, and review this story! Wow, I'm glad you really enjoyed the character development I wrote! Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Scott's Trauma Chair, but I felt like it would be weird if Scott was all of a sudden back to normal. Keep in mind that Scott won't stay in his trauma chair forever in this story. I'm glad you think my couples are cute; one thing I love reading in a fan-fic are cute & fluffy heartwarming moments, and the other two things I love reading are angsty, tear-jerking drama and laugh out loud comedy, so I try to put in all three of these things into this story. And, awww, I want to hug ya too for your super positive review! And I called your stories funny because they are! Your latest chapter of Total Drama Supremacy made me laugh out loud several times! Anyways, I'm glad you think this story is praiseworthy, and I'm looking forward to more reviews!

Idolmaster Yamada: This review cracks me up , since it's almost exactly like my reivews for ForteKham617's stories! Anyways, I'm glad you found that Spongebob reference funny. Hopefully you'll enjoy this chapter!

NerdyBarista: Yes, I really wanted to put in several references to the Cheesebub's great story, and since I do rather like breakfast cereals (although certainly not as much as Geoff in Total Drama Returns!) I felt like I had no choice but to make breakfast a cereal feast. Yes Pablo could become truly powerful if he continued to read every chapter, but that might turn him into a boring invincible villain, so it most likely will be a one-off gag. Viktoriya pretending to date Pablo could be a viable strategy, if Viktoriya was OK with it. And while I really really love BBQ Ribs, I do think it would not make for an appetizing breakfast cereal. It's true that Zoey and Mike are relying a bit too much on Cameron to help them with their relationship.

Yeah, the Shipping Sailors are sort of living up to their name, but in many aspects, their team name is something of an artifact from my original idea for the team where every contestant had a romantic interest of some sort within the team. Of course, I'll go into more detail about that in the Trivia chapter, after this story is complete! And yes, the universe loves to pair up Trent and Sierra since the "universe" doesn't have a lot of ideas for either of them for this story (well, Trent will get to do something quite interesting in episode six, several chapters from now). And even though Heather is supposed to be a lot nicer in this story, she's still Heather. She's always thinking about dem alliances.

Pablo's plan will be revealed in this chapter, and I really liked the final lines of my last chapter too, which I came up with since I noticed a pattern in my writing for this story: Each episode is divided into two parts, part one which is exposition, and part two which is the actual challenge. Actully, this last week wasn't nearly as busy as I thought, but I did have a minor case of writer's block, which is why I feel like this chapter is so late. Anyways, I always enjoy your reviews and hopefully you'll enjoy this chapter!

DEDEBUG9: I'm super glad you really like this! :D

Anyways with that wall of text out of the way, on to the main event:

Episode Four: Total Drama Returns, Part 2

Pablo, Viktoriya, and Zoey decided to come up with ideas for the challenge.

"I know!" Pablo said. "Let's make our own paintball guns and make a thrilling commercial!"

Viktoriya frowned. "But we already did a paintball challenge last episode. How about a completely original idea?"

Zoey responded "You know, there's no such thing as a completely original idea. Everything has already been done in the past."

Viktoriya rolled her eyes and said "Don't give me that post-modern hipster bull crap."

Zoey quirked an eyebrow. "Post-modern? I alluding to the book of Ecclesiastes.[1]"

Viktoriya responded with a simple "Whatever."

Zoey then said "The more I think about it, Pablo's idea makes sense! What if we shot a commercial at the War movie set? Considering that Chef supposedly fought in a war, I think he would enjoy it."

Viktoriya smirked. "That's not a bad idea. But how do we make paintball guns?"

Pablo smiled. "I have an idea for that. Anyways, Zoey! How about you go to the wardrobe department and find us good costumes for the commercial? Viktoriya and I can handle construction of the paintball guns. In about thirty minutes, we can meet up at the War film set."

Zoey smiled. "What a great idea Pablo! See ya soon!" Zoey went off to the wardrobe department.

When Zoey was out of ear-shot, Pablo turned to Viktoriya. "Have you thought about my offer? Do ya want to pretend to date?"

Viktoriya sighed. "I've thought about it, and I don't even want to pretend to date you Pablo. You're a scrawny little boy who doesn't have any money, which probably means you can't get a job. I feel like dating you would make me look like a…..loser."

Pablo sighed. "Are you sure Viktoriya? After all, if our team loses then they'll vote off-"

"We will NEVER LOSE!" Viktoriya shouted. "As long as I'm on this team, we will never be losers!"

Pablo frowned, before smiling. "If you insist. Anyways, on to those paintball guns. If we can find some water guns and fill them with paint, we would have instant paintball guns. So how about this: You get some water-guns and I'll get the paint."

Viktoriya smirked. "And while you're separated from us, you can…"

"…Sabotage Owen, Exactly as planned." Pablo finished as he smirked for the fiftieth time in this fan-fic.

Viktoriya went off to find some water guns, while Pablo went over to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Jerome, Noah, and Owen were getting ready for the challenge.

"All right guys." Jerome told his teammates. "I have a great idea for a product that we can make."

"Gee, I wonder what it could be." Noah said in his typical deadpan matter.

"I'll make my own BBQ sauce!" Jerome exclaimed.

"Woo-hoo! Great idea Jerome!" Owen said excitedly.

"Not a bad idea." Noah said. "If we are gonna do this though, we will need ingredients."

"Well then, let's go to the kitchen." Jerome said. And with that, the trio made there way to the craft services tent.

Pablo was in the kitchen, putting a note for DJ on the refrigerator. Right after doing so, Pablo heard the trio about to enter the area. The Brazilian boy quickly dashed out of the room.

"So, Mr. BBQ Sauce Gourmand..." Noah told Jerome. "...What will we need to make the sauce?"

Jerome thought for a moment. "We will need Tomato paste, molasses, honey, garlic..." Jerome paused and thought a little more. "Chipotle, jalapenos, onions, sugar, and some other spices."

Conveniently enough, Owen opened a cupboard and found every single thing Jerome listed. "Ooo! That jalapeno looks goooood." Owen was about to eat the pepper, but Noah slapped Owen's hand.

"Look Chubby Buddy." Noah told him. "We're gonna need all these ingredients for the challenge."

Noah then took the Tomato paste, molasses, honey, garlic, chipotle, jalapenos, sugar, onions, and other assorted spices to Jerome. "OK, so how are we going to make the sauce Jerome?"

Jerome was deep in thought. After thinking for two minutes, he opened his mouth and said "It depends. Should I make a sweeter BBQ sauce or go for something spicier?"

"Dude, just pick one." Noah responded.

"I can't! Both of the sauces have their major pros and cons! It's such a difficult decision!"

Noah rolled his eyes. "Wow, if it's that difficult a choice, then why don't you make two different BBQ sauces?"

Jerome grinned from ear to ear. "That's a great idea Noah! I'll make a Honey BBQ sauce and a Firey Hot BBQ sauce! Now let's get a cooking!"

Jerome put a pot on the stove, and started giving instructions to Noah and Owen. Meanwhile DJ came into the kitchen, and decided to get started on lunch. DJ noticed the note that Pablo put on the fridge. DJ read the note aloud. "To DJ; For today's lunch make a quadruple bean chili for all the campers." DJ scratched his head in slight confusion. "That's weird; Chef usually let's me choose what to make for lunch... But I better do it, for the sake of the plot."

Cody and Courtney were both glad to be working on the challenge together. Cody asked the C.I.T. "So what should our commercial be about?"

Courtney thought for a moment. "What if I did a commercial for my Lawyers? They would appreciate the free publicity?"

Cody smiled. "Good idea! That way we don't have to waste time making a product. So want kind of commercial should we make?"

Courtney thought a moment. "Maybe a semi-serious commercial with a hint of comedy?"

Cody said "Great idea Court. Here, let me set up the laptop." Cody pulled out the laptop that Chef gave each group, and started typing up potential ideas for the commercials. Courtney looked over them, and frequently laughed at several of Cody's jokes. Cody was glad that Courtney appreciated the skills he brought to the team.

Bridgette was talking to Gwen; was drawing in her sketch-book. "So I was thinking about doing a commercial for surfing supplies. It's what I'm good at and...Gwen, are you listening to me?"

Gwen looked up "Oh..uh...sure!"

Bridgette realized that Gwen was drawing in her sketch-notebook. "What are you drawing?"

Gwen frowned. "Oh! Nothing! Nothing at all..."

Bridgette snatched her friend's sketch book and took a look at what she was drawing. Gwen had drawn a picture of Viktoriya falling into a pool of sharks. "Wow Gwen... I know that Viktoriya can be really annoying, but this is really...mean-spirited."

Gwen frowned. "Well you wouldn't be saying that if your boyfriend was in love with her..." Gwen started crying a little.

Bridgette, in an attempt to comfort Gwen, hugged her. "Look, I know how it feels to be jealous, but it will only make things worse."

Gwen responded "I can't help it! I'm afraid that Duncan doesn't love me anymore!"

Bridgette said "Don't assume the worse Gwen! He's still dating you, isn't that prove enough that he still wants to be with you?"

Gwen sighed. "Maybe...Anyway, let's get back to the challenge; If we're doing a surfing commercial, then we should go to the beach set right?"

Bridgette smiled. "Good idea!"

Meanwhile, Jo and Tyler were already getting ready to shoot their commercial. They were at the sport movie set. Tyler was filming himself dribbling a basketball and trying to perform a slam dunk. Emphasis on the trying to. The jock yelled "To the extreme!" as he ran from one side of the court to the other, leaping up to perform a slam dunk. Unfortunately, Tyler missed the basketball hoop, and fell down with a thud. Tyler got right back up and tried again. Only to fail again. Tyler repeated this process for five minutes straight.

Jo couldn't handle it anymore and yelled "Tyler! Stop doing that! Let me help you!"

Tyler frowned. "I can handle this! You know what they say: No pain, no gain! I'll just keep on learning from my failures until I can pull off the slam dunk!" Tyler then tripped and fell flat on his face. Jo smiled a bit. She found his persistence in spite of his clumsiness to be amusing, not to mention endearing and oddly...cute. Jo then frowned when I typed the word 'cute.'

Jo sighed. "Remember what I told you last episode? You have to take your time, and work on your technique!" Jo grabbed the basketball. "First off, do the slam dunk right next to the hoop. Next, position yourself and aim carefully!" Jo went up to the hoop and demonstrated. "Finally, jump and slam dunk!" Jo jumped up and successfully pulled off a slam dunk.

Tyler looked really impressed. "Awesome! Those were some wicked tips bro!" Jo frowned at being called a 'bro'. Tyler followed Jo's instructions. He carefully positioned himself, aimed, and leaped into the air. Unfortunately, because of Tyler's strong fingers, once he brought down his fingers onto the hoop to slam dunk, he inadvertently brought down the basketball hoop, causing it to fall down on the clumsy jock.

Jo sighed. She went up to the video camera and turned it off. They had to figure out a different sport to do for the commercial.

Meanwhile, Duncan, Cameron, and Mike were trying to come up with ideas for their commercial. Duncan sighed. "I don't really know how to make much, other then fires."

Cameron thought for a moment. "Well, what about your carving skills? You could use your knife to carve various statues out of wood, and we could do a commercial for that."

Duncan quirked an eyebrow. "Not a bad idea...but wooden carvings aren't exactly the most exciting product we could advertize."

Mike responded "Well, even with a boring product, we could still make an exciting commercial. Insurance companies can make entertaining commercials about something as boring as insurance."

Cameron smiled. "Well then, let's brainstorm ideas."

Meanwhile, Courtney and Cody were at the spy movie set, shooting their commercial. Cody held up the movie camera and filmed Courtney's first scene. "Have you ever spilled your coffee on your lap? Have you been unfairly kicked off of a reality TV show? Have you ever had your house blown up by a criminal mastermind?" After Courtney says this, a house in the background of the set blows up. "Well then the Law Firm of Fleckman, Fleckman, Cohen, and Strauss can help! [2]"

Cody stopped filming. "Cut! First scene done, great job Courtney!" Courtney then grabbed the video camera from Cody, and looked over her performance.

The C.I.T. frowned as she re-watched her performance. "What are you talking about? I did a bad job acting here! The way I emphasized the word 'can' in bold letters was weird! My performance wasn't believable, let's do another take!"

Cody sighed. "Are you sure, your take looked fine to me..."

"Well it didn't look fine to me!" Courtney retorted. "Let's do take two!"

Cody sighed again, and started filming once again.

Meanwhile Harold was attempting to come up with a commercial idea. But this was not an easy task because Leshawna and Heather were bickering as usual.

"I still can't believe I have to work with ya!" Leshawna told the queen bee. "We're gonna lose again thanks to you!"

"What are you talking about?" Asked Heather.

"It's your fault we lost the challenge last episode, since you paired me up with Anne Maria!"

Heather rolled her eyes. "Right, I was the one who starting arguing with Anne Maria and decided to start a mini-paintball fight with her because of it."

Leshawna frowned. "Girl, are you asking for a beating?"

"Are you serious?" Heather asked. "Are you gonna knock out another tooth just because I told you the truth?"

Leshawna smirked. "Maybe, that was the only positive highlight of season three for me!"

Heather frowned. "Really? Cause it was totally uncalled for! Seriously, I was just trying to warn you about Alejandro's scheming because I thought we had become friends in season two! Beating up your friend to the point of losing a tooth is kind of a horrible thing to do!"

Leshawna sighed. "We weren't friends at that point! Look, I was grateful that you stood up for me back in season two, but that was because I thought you had changed! But afterwards, seeing you feuding with Gwen, made me realize you hadn't changed at all! You'll still mean for the sake of being mean! And not to mention what you did to Alejandro!"

Heather frowned again. "What?! That jerk totally had his comeuppance coming!"

"Maybe so!" Leshawna agreed. "But you used the exact same tactics that he had used all season! It shows you still haven't changed! Not to mention, thanks to you, Alejandro was horribly disfigured and he's still recovering from it! That's a pretty disproportionate punishment that you gave him!"

Heather snapped "Well knocking out my frickin' tooth for trying my best to help you is a much worse case of disproportionate punishment you hypocrite!"

Leshawna scowled. "I'm just trying to convey one of the most important themes in this fan-fic!"

Heather frowned. "Well another important theme in this fan-fic is forgiveness! When the frick are you gonna forgive me Leshawna?"

"When you stop acting evil!" Leshawna snapped back.

"I haven't done a single evil thing since this season started!" Heather truthfully retorted. "While I was helping our team and making new friends, you were spending all your time feuding with Anne Maria!"

Leshawna scowled and tried to attack Heather. But Harold stepped into between the two bickering girls and tried to calm them down. "Leshawna, stop picking a fight with Heather! All the time spent arguing, could be spent doing the actual challenge, Gosh!"

Leshawna blinked. "Did you side with Heather?"

Harold nodded. "Yes, yes I did. Now can I request that we do a commercial for my Nintendo 3DS?"

Both Heather and Leshawna sighed, and responded with a "Sure, why not?"

Pablo, Viktoriya, and Zoey met up at the War film set. Zoey had brought several Military uniforms from the wardrobe department, as well as make-up for war paint. Meanwhile, Viktoriya found a few water guns and filled them with paint that Pablo brought. Also, Viktoriya managed to find a few leftover paintball guns from the last challenge. However, before they got a chance to start shooting their commercial, Chef announced via the speaker system that lunch was served. Viktoriya and Zoey went off to the craft services tent, while Pablo went off to 'use the restroom'. Well, that's what the Brazilian boy told Zoey. In reality, Pablo was going off to find Owen. Pablo stumbled upon Jerome, Noah, and Owen getting ready to film their BBQ sauce commercial. Jerome had just finished making buffalo wings for the commercial.

"Come on guys!" Owen complained to his teammates. "Why can't I have a teensy taste of those BBQ sauces?"

"Because you're you." Noah deadpanned. "You have zero control over your appetite. You'd most likely gobble them up before we even got a chance to shoot the commercial. Besides, it's lunch time; we can grab some food right now."

"But the craft services tent is five minutes away from here!" Owen shouted melodramatically. "Can't we bring some wings for the trip?"

"A five minute walk doesn't exactly qualify for a trip Owen." Noah said in his signature sarcastic tone.

Pablo, who was watching this scene play out while hiding in a bush, smirked. The Brazilian boy pulled out a bottle of 'Desperado, the Fragrance of Last Resort' and sprayed the perfume towards Owen.[3]

Once the scent reached Owen nose, the gassy giant snapped! "OWEN HUNGRY! OWEN DASH!" Owen, in his amplified hunger, dashed off at the speed of sound towards the craft services tent. Owen stormed in, being the first contestant to arrive for lunch. He looked over, and saw DJ carrying a huge pot of quadruple bean chili. Owen pushed DJ to the ground and quickly began gobbling up the chili.

By the time that (with two exceptions) all the other contestants arrived, Owen had completely devoured the entire pot of chili! Heather frowned and said "What's going on here?!"

DJ sighed. "Sorry guys, but Owen just devoured the lunch I made for everybody!"

Confessional:

Pablo: The first part of my plan to take out Owen went exactly as planned. (Pablo chuckles) Just wait until the Fanon Fixers get a whiff of part two! (Pablo then started chuckling again, which develops into a sinister evil laugh)

This did not go over well with the other contestants. "What?!" Exclaimed Harold. "Owen, why did you eat all of our food! I mean, GOSH!"

Leshawna nodded her head in agreement. "It's bad enough that you gobbled up the rest of breakfast before Pablo and Jo got some, but now none of us have anything to eat for lunch!"

Owen put down the empty pot. "Well it's not my fault I got super hungry! Besides, that chili wasn't that filling anyway, I'm still feeling famished! So famished...So very famished..."

All of a sudden the gassy giant scooped up Cameron, who looked like a Corn-Dog according Owen's hallucinated mind, and almost ate him! Everybody screamed, but luckily, Chef stormed in the room and shot Owen with a tranquilizer gun. Owen passed out. Chef sighed. "That was too close!"

Mike couldn't help but ask "Why do you have a tranquilizer gun with you?"

Chef responded "Well, I always carried one with me back in season four, just in case I ran into a mutated animal. Looks like I'm still doing it out of habit, but I'm glad I did!"

Chef ordered a few pizzas from a nearby restaurant. After making sure that all the contestants had food for lunch, the chef turned host ordered the interns to wire Owen's mouth shut while he was unconscious.

Bridgette and Gwen looked super nervous as they ate their slices of veggie pizza. Courtney noticed and said "Hey, did something happen to you two?"

Bridgette and Gwen both looked at each other. At the same time they responded "Nope, nothing!"

Courtney didn't looked convinced. "Are you sure, it looks like something really bad happened to you! In fact, is that a band-aid on your arm Bridgette?"

Bridgette quickly retorted "Maybe, but I didn't get it while shooting the commercial!"

Jo, Cody, and Tyler were dining next to Bridgette. Cody noticed Bridgette's suspiciously specific denial. "Looks like Helmet 798 is setting up a brick joke..."

Tyler looked confused. "But Brick isn't competing in this season!"

Jo face palmed at Tyler misunderstanding a literary trope.

Meanwhile, Duncan was barely eating his slice of pepperoni pizza, since he was too busy carving a wooden statue of Viktoriya's head. Pablo noticed and said "Hey Duncan, watcha doing?"

Duncan responded "For my commercial, I'm gonna be selling wooden replicas of various contestants' heads."

Pablo looked confused. "What would you use them for?"

"How am I supposed to know?" Duncan retorted, since he felt frustrated that he wasn't sure what his commercial was gonna be yet. Gwen noticed Duncan carving an image of Viktoriya's head and frowned.

Harold was talking with Jerome about what had happened earlier. "I wish that Heather and Leshawna would stop bickering. Not only is it holding back our team, but it hurts to see the two people I like the most fighting." Harold then sighed.

Jerome gave Harold a sympathetic look as he applied his new BBQ sauce to his slice of sausage pizza. "That must bite, man; seeing your girlfriend argue with your friend."

Harold blinked. "Well actually, me and Leshawna broke up a few months ago. We're still really good friends though."

Jerome looked a little surprised. "Oh." Jerome then thought about Harold's earlier words, about liking Heather. "Wait a minute Harold...Do you "like" like Heather?"

Harold looked a little surprised. "Well...maybe a little. I just wish that she would notice me more."

Jerome smiled. "Well then, maybe I can help you with that!"

Harold smiled. Harold then high-fived Jerome. "Boo-yah!"

Meanwhile, Noah, eating pepperoni pizza, was sitting with Pablo, who was eating his first ever slice of three cheese pizza. "Wait a minute..." the snarky bookworm said. "...Why aren't Trent and Sierra here?"

"They're still working on their commercial." Pablo explained. "While I was walking back here, I saw them filming their commercial. From what I can tell they were working pretty hard on it."

After about ten minutes, the teens were done eating and left the craft services tent. Tyler looked super excited. "All right! After eating that delicious pizza it's time to finish...wait a minute...is Helmet 798 gonna..." Tyler looked directly below him "Crap."

Author Notes:

[1] What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun. Can one say about anything, "Look, this is new"? It has already existed in the ages before us. (Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 in the Holman Christian Standard Bible)

[2] I went back and re-watched the Total Drama Action Episode Ocean's 8 or 9 to make sure I got the name of Courtney's Law firm right.

[3] Speaking of Ocean's 8 or 9, there is a scene in this episode where Beth uses the roast-chicken scented perfume I mentioned to get Owen to bust out of a vault. Unfortunately this sends Owen out on a hunger-fueled rampage, in a matter similar to what happened here.

I was seriously debating whether or not I should divide this episode into three parts. But there is a lot going on in this episode (Which should happen when you're writing for 21 different contestants) and I felt like I kept you guys waiting long enough. Especially since next week I'm going out of town to visit a Campus Ministry conference. That means there won't be another update until about two weeks. Hopefully this chapter will keep you entertained until then! I didn't think I would need close to five thousand words to describe this small portion of the challenge, but I was mistake!

Even though I have the entire plot of this episode planned out in my head, writing it down can still be tricky, and the Heather & Leshawna fight is a great example of this; Heather asking Leshawna what had happened to their friendship is one of the earliest ideas I had for this story but I didn't know where to place it. Even now, I do wonder if the dialogue I had written for them could be better, but I'll leave that for the judgement of my reviewers. Anyways, thank you for reading and I'll see ya next time!

Next Time on Total Drama Fan-Fiction Theater: The fourth episode concludes as the teams finish their commercials and screen them! Meanwhile, Duncan and Gwen continue to fight; can they stay together? And what will happen when Pablo's plan to get rid of Owen gets to it's second phase; will the Fanon Fixers lose again? Plus, just what is Pablo planning for his own commercial? And finally, what will Trent and Sierra's commercial be like? Find out in our most dramatic and Total Drama Returns reference-filled chapter to date!
