Man, I'm really getting into updating this! Here's another one, enjoy!
TDRTPI EP 5 PT: 1
"Welcome back to Total Drama! I'm your handsome host, Chris McLean! And this is another episode of Total! Drama! Return to Pahkitew Island!"
-Last night after the elimination-
Kayla jogged back towards their cabin, where she had left Joey earlier. The sun was now setting, leaving only a small glimpse of the sun, making its orange rays shine upon the ground. Kayla reached the cabin and immediately ran in.
"Joey? Joey are you here?" She called. No one answered, and she became worried. She ran back outside and looked left and right, but couldn't find him.
"K-Kayla?" Came a soft voice. Kayla quickly spun around and found Joey on his back, with his head against the cabin.
"Joey! Are you ok?" Kayla said rushing over to him and picking up his head, and holding it in her arms.
"My head hurts…real bad…and my vision is kinda blurry…" Joey described to her.
"Can you stand? We should get you to a bed." Joey nodded slowly before using whatever strength he had to stand up. Kayla helped him onto his feet, and pulled his arm over her shoulder. The two slowly made their way into the cabin, where she laid him down. "Better?" Kayla asked him. Joey nodded once again, and began to fall asleep.
Kayla was sitting next to Joey, reading a book when Kyle walked in.
"Um Kayla? You're supposed to be in the girls' cabin. Are you looking after Joey?" Kayla, startled by his voice, dropped the book she was reading and quickly smiled in embarrassment.
"Uh what? Oh I was just…he hurt himself and…well I…I'll just leave." Kayla said turning red as she left the room as quickly as she could. Kyle couldn't help but smile as she left. It was obvious to him that she had feelings for him. Kyle then turned towards Joey and noticed that he was sound asleep.
"How touching." Kyle spun around, unaware there was someone present. Mark was leaning against the door, looking at Joey's unconscious form. "Is he ok?" He asked. Kyle, who was unable to speak, nodded slowly. "Well it is a shame that he is hurt. Too bad he won't be much help in the games now. Well, I'll be seeing you." Mark concluded as he walked away. Kyle watched him go, and squinted his eyes. 'There's something wrong with that guy', Kyle thought.
-CONFESSIONAL-
"Well I must say, Kayla's devotion towards Joey is touching. But it is a threat. Obviously the two have grown close, and if Joey manages to get better quicker than I expect him to, the two will be back up and running and they will pose as a major threat. Although they are not the biggest threat, they should be extinguished fast. Hopefully they will eliminate him this next challenge, and save me the work."
(Mark)
-CONFESSIONAL-
"I've got my eye on that guy Mark. He may seem smooth and cool on the outside, but I have a feeling that there's something rotten on the inside. If you ask me, he seems to be enjoying Joey's pain. I better tell this to Kayla…"
(Kyle)
Terrance whistled as he leisurely walked down the path from the elimination. It was a close call, but he had made it. But now, he had to deal with the girl. Hopefully, Joey would stay unconscious long enough for him to get her voted off, and finally him. Terrance thought for a moment before realizing something. 'I need allies if I want to get further in the game. Kayla, Joey, and Kyle have it out for me, so I need a new strategy. If I can just get Zach and Madison on my team, we'll be an even match. Then all I have to do is threaten that weirdo Victoria into voting for me, and I've got the winning edge.' Terrance laughed. It was too easy!
As he was walking towards their cabin, he saw Mark leave.
-CONFESSIONAL-
"Weird…what was he doing at our cabin?" *pause* "I'm going to watch him. He could mean trouble."
(Terrance)
-Team Endeavor's cabin (boys)-
Nathan, William, Darryl, and Alexander were playing cards and Isaac was on his bed, sound asleep when Mark entered the cabin.
"Hey Mark, wanna play?" William offered. Mark raised his hand and smiled.
"No thank you. I think I will go to sleep." William watched him go to his bunk and lay down, before returning to the game.
"Alright Nathan, your turn." William said. Nathan sighed and yawned.
"You know what, I'm tire too. See you in the morning." Nathan stood up and got into his bunk. William looked at Darryl and shrugged.
"Guess we might as well turn in too." Darryl nodded in agreement and the two got into their bunks.
-Team Endeavor's cabin (girls)-
Penelope sat in front of Jenna as she did her hair. Nicky was currently out on her afternoon jog. After a few moments of silence, Jenna thought of something.
"Hey Penelope?"
"Yeah Jenna?"
"What would you do with the money if you got it?" Penelope sat quietly for a moment.
"Well…I guess I would let my parents decide. I'm pretty sure that if I win, I won't have much say in the matter anyway."
-Team Challenger's cabin (boys)-
Terrance nonchalantly walked into his team's cabin, ignoring the stares he received from Kyle. He flopped onto his bunk, and kicked off his shoes.
"Wow what a day huh?" He said to no one in particular.
"Shut up Terrance. Kayla and I know what you did to Joey, and when he wakes up, you'll be sorry!" Terrance merely laughed at Kyle's threat.
"Oh and what? Is he gonna beat me up? Please, by the time he gets better, you and Kayla will already be gone, so if I were you, I'd try to get on my good side!" Kyle shut up after Terrance threatened him, and got into his bunk. Not soon after, the rest of the boys got into their bunks and went to sleep. It was going to be a long day tomorrow.
-THE NEXT DAY-
"Wakey wakey campers! Challenge time!" Chris's usual announcement awoke the campers. Within a few moments, the campers appeared before Chris, fully clothed and ready for their challenge. Joey was being carried by Kayla and Kyle.
"Hey? What happened to him?" Chris said pointing towards Joey.
"Terrance-"
"He fell on his head during the night. Saw it myself. Really must've hurt." Terrance said, cutting Kyle off before he could release his secret. Chris looked at him curiously, and then returned back to what he was saying.
"Well, seeing that the teams are now completely unfair, I will be doing…a temporary TEAM SWAP!" Chris announced happily. Both teams gasped as he explained his idea, "I'm sending Joey to the infirmary with Chef, while I send Nicky over to the other team. Remember, this is only a temporary swap!" Nicky walked over to Team Challenger and stood next to Kayla. "Good, now that we have that out of our way, let me introduce today's challenge!"
Chris led the group of kids to two rather large looking trees next to each other. Each one had a pile of safety equipment at the base of the tree, and a rope leading to the top of the tree.
"Today's challenge is called, 'Timber Trust'. First, Each team will send one of their own campers to run across this oil slicked balance beam. Second, that same camper must climb up the tree. Just so you know, one tree has a good rope while the other has a…well…not so good rope. Once that camper reaches the top, they will jump off the tree and trust their fellow campers to catch them. Each camper must go up the tree and each camper must 'Trust' their teammates when they fall. First team that has everyone jumps wins." Chris explained. Madison immediately raised her hand.
"Um, excuse me, but is this actually safe? If you ask me, I think that we should-"
"Nobody was asking you! So, SHUT. IT. Besides, I have a bungee cord attached to your safety equipment, so in case you fall to far, it will save your butt. Anyway, Team Endeavor gets to choose whichever tree they want, and gets a 5 minute head start." Chris continued.
"We choose that one." Mark said, pointing towards the tree with the better rope.
"Nice choice." Chris said smiling. "Ok campers, get to your team's tree and get ready!" The campers quickly ran to their team's tree and watched for Chris's 'GO!' "On your marks, get set, go!" Chris said before blowing into a whistle.
-Team Challenger-
"I'll go first, so I can get this out of the way." Madison said. The others acknowledged her decision, and watched her approach the equipment. First the helmet, then the belts. Soon, she was ready to run across the beam and scale the tree, but awaited Chris's permission to proceed as they waited for Team Endeavor's 5 minutes to be up.
-CONFESSIONAL-
"Actually, I'm no stranger to climbing trees. When I was a little girl, I climbed trees all the time. It may be hard to believe, but I did. I stopped however when my hair started getting dirty. It's just too much work, but now, those years of climbing can finally come to some good use!"
(Madison)
-Team Endeavor-
"Here, let me go first!" Alexander volunteered. Nobody objected as he ran up to the pile of equipment. He put it on as quickly as he could, and began running across the balance beam. After a moment of awkward struggling, Alexander made his way across. He then hopped off the balance beam, and began scaling the tree. As he made his way up, Alexander reminded himself not to look down. He was halfway up when he grabbed onto a branch and it snapped! Luckily, his other hand grabbed onto a sturdier branch before he fell. "AH! Chris I don't know if this is safe!" Alexander called down to Chris.
"What? I can't hear you!" Chris called back up to him.
"I SAID, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS-oh forget it." Alexander gave up on trying to reach Chris and continued up the tree. When he finally reached the top, he dared to look down. Not any more than 25 feet above the ground. Slowly, Alexander looked at the trunk of the tree, and allowed his fingers to let go. He closed his eyes the second he let go, fearing that he wouldn't want to see what happened next.
The remaining of his team crowded at the bottom of the tree, and waited for Alexander's body to reach them. In only a matter of seconds, Alexander landed safely into the hands of his teammates.
"And that's one point for Team Endeavor." Chris announced.
"Thanks." Alexander said as his team set him down.
"Welcome. I'll go next." Darryl said.
Darryl ran back to the starting line, and got into the equipment. After a few seconds, he started running across the slick balance beam. Darryl tried as hard as he could to keep his balance atop the slick beam, while waving his hands to and fro.
"C'mon Darryl you can do it!" Penelope called from the sidelines. Darryl continued to make his way across the beam when he lost his footing and landed on his stomach.
"OOOOH ouch! Hahaha! That's got to hurt!" Chris laughed from his seat. The rest of the campers cringed as they watched Darryl stay still for a moment on the log. Darryl had gotten the wind knocked out of him, and was trying to pull himself up without falling off the log. He slowly turned himself so that his body was align with the beam, and brought himself up on shaky knees. Eventually, he made his way off the balance beam and slowly began making his way up the tree.
"C'mon Darryl faster!" Isaac yelled.
"Hey he's trying his best. Poor guy just got the wind knocked out of him." William defended.
"Well he could at least try to go a little faster." Isaac said crossing his arms.
-Team Challenger-
"TEAM CHALLENGER, YOU MAY NOW BEGIN! GO! GO! GO!" Chris said through the megaphone. That was all Madison needed to start making her way across the beam. Unlike Darryl and Alexander, Madison used the sleekness of the beam to almost slide across. In almost half the time it took Alexander to cross the beam, Madison had made it across, and had begun her way up the tree. To her team's surprise, she made her way up the tree in no time at all, and awaited her team's ok.
"Ok Madison! We're ready!" The rest of her team called from below. Madison closed her eyes and let go. Soon, she felt the slight tug of the rope binding her to the tree, and the hands of her teammates holding her.
"Great job Madison! I'll go next!" Kayla told them.
"AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A TIE! FOR ONCE, TEAM CHALLENGER ACTUALLY HAS A CHANCE TO CATCH UP! THE CURRENT SCORE IS 1, 1!" Chris reported.
-Team Endeavor-
Darryl finally reached the top of the tree, and almost fell off just from his weakness.
"Ready Darryl hurry!" Penelope called from below. Darryl let go instantly and landed safely with his teammates.
"I'll go." Mark volunteered before anyone could ask who would go next. He quickly ran to the beginning of the beam and got suited up. Mark quickly wobbled and slipped his way across the beam, and began scaling the tree.
-Team Challenger-
Kayla suited up as fast as she could and prepared to cross the balance beam. 'Oh man I hope I don't end up like Darryl.' She prayed as she set a foot onto the beam. Kayla slowly started inching her way across, and before long, she hopped off the beam and stood at the base of the tree.
"Go Kayla we'll be waiting for you down here!" Kyle said as the team readied near the tree. Kayla nodded and started her way up. As Kayla looked to her left, she could see Mark a little farther ahead of her. 'C'mon Kayla! We can take the lead!' she convinced herself. With all her energy, Kayla quickly started thrusting herself up the tree branches, almost like a monkey. She eventually passed Mark, and when she reached the top, it almost looked like she jumped off instead of fell off.
The rest of team challenger safely caught her below and sent Zach off to the front.
"Whooohooo! Yeah that was fun!" Kayla said throwing her hands in the air and smiling. "I just wish Joey was here, I hope he's ok…"
-At the Infirmary-
"Alright now, open your mouth so I can give you this pill, it'll help clear your vision." Chef said as he leaned over Joey with a gigantic pill in his hand.
"Um its fine, I think I can swallow it on my-" Chef suddenly threw the pill into Joey's throat and handed him a glass of water.
"Quick. Drink that water and report to me how you're feeling in a few minutes." And with that, Chef stood up and walked away, leaving Joey choking on the pill. Thanks to his gag reflexes, he was able to cough it up. Joey gasped for air, and put the glass to his mouth, hoping the water would help his throat. He quickly spat the water out.
"UGH! Tastes like dishwater! I feel like this place will kill me faster than any of the challenges Chris has out there!" Joey said to himself. "Man, I wish Kayla were here, she would probably find a way to cheer me up."
-Team Endeavor-
Mark landed in his teams hands soon after Kayla had. Team Endeavor quickly chose Nathan to go next; while they watched their opposing team start to catch up.
"AND WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT! CHALLENGER IS ACTUALLY CATCHING UP! CAN TEAM ENDEAVOR KEEP THEIR LEAD? OR WILL CHALLENGER CATCH UP? THE SCORE IS NOW 3-2 TEAM ENDEAVOR." Chris revealed.
Nathan geared up, and set his first foot on the balance beam. After he felt it was safe, he raised his second foot onto the beam. Slowly, he started wobbling his way across. Nathan continued across the beam when he suddenly, he lost his footing and landed on his groin. Everyone cringed and turned away as Nathan sat in agony. Nothing but murmurs escaped his mouth.
"Ouch! Nathan buddy? You ok?" Chris said, smirking. Nathan couldn't even turn his head to dignify that he had heard Chris; he just simply bent over, hugged the beam, and began to pull his way across. After a few more agonizing pulls, Nathan finally dismounted the beam, and hobbled his way over to the tree. He gradually made his way to the top of the tree, where he let prepared to let go.
"I swear… if one of you drops me…I'm going... to kill you…" Nathan managed to get out before releasing his grasp on the tree branches. Below, William spotted a bug on Jenna's shoulder.
"Jenna hold still." He told her.
"Huh? What? What is it?" She asked him, starting to get nervous.
"Nothing, I just…wanna…" William closed in on her, ready to smash the bug, while Jenna backed off, not wanting to get hit.
"Huh? Guys! We need you! Nathan will drop any minute and when he does-"*BAM* Nathan's rope saved him from any harm, but it was now hanging him from his stomach, leaving his head dangling. Soon, the blood began rushing to his head, and he became nauseous. "Whoops…" Penelope said, releasing Nathan from the rope. He quickly stood up and rushed off into the forest before puking.
-CONFESSIONAL-
"Worst. Team. Ever." Nathan said, looking groggily at the camera.
-Team Challenger-
Zach cracked his knuckles while eyeing his target; the tree. His plan was to speed his way across the beam and climb the tree as fast as he could. 'The others took their time on the beam except Madison. She was smart to use the sleekness of the beam to her advantage. So, I will run across the beam, and climb the tree. When my team's ready, I'll fall into their arms and we'll move on. Simple.
'Okay Zach, ready? Set? Go!' Zach thought before he sped at full speed towards the start of the balance beam. To his surprise, he lost his footing, and landed on his chest. Fortunately for him, the force he put on running to the beam, sent him sliding across and into the tree.
"Ooooh ouch! That one's gonna leave a mark! Whoops, looks like we're out of time! Who suffer the most? Who will be betrayed by their team? Who will win? Endeavor? Or Challenger? My money's on Endeavor-"
"Hey!" Team Challenger shouted.
"-Join us next time, here, on Total! Drama! Return, to Pahkitew Island!"
