A/N: A couple people requested a filler chapter so here it is, and I actually really like it, and a bonus is that every single remaining theatre geek is in here somewhere. Also for those of you wondering about the RENT reference last chapter it was in Summer and Zakk's conversation Summer said 'You Okay Honey?' which is a song title it wasn't an easy reference so if you didn't get it that's fine, especially since most of you haven't actually seen RENT which is a shame because it's and amazing musical. Anyway I hope you like the chapter!
Chris stood on the dock of shame, making grand gestures as he spoke, "On the last chilling episode Total Drama Musical... The theatre geeks competed in a challenge based off the ultimate midnight movie, The Rocky Horror Picture Show! First teams had to dress up as the key characters of the Time Warp and the Transylvanians, Team Westend ended up winning while Team Broadway was put at a disadvantage, however when it came to seeing who could Time Warp the longest Team Broadway mopped the floor and Team Westend ended up going to elimination sending Christian packing. Shame really that kid had a nice name. On a side note we had our first hook up when alliance partners Lois and Duke started making out but they have yet to come out as a couple. What will happen to the newly formed...couple-y thing? Who will be eliminated in the most dramatic campfire ceremony yet? Find out on this episode of Total Drama Musical!"
Girls Cabin
Lois and Duke were doing what they were doing as usual, plotting and kissing – plissing? – Before Lois pulled apart, "Well I'm off to get us a lackey."
"What?" Duke asked, confused.
"Well, actually I'm off to get us two one from Phantom so we have a representative from that team and another Broadway member because you, unlike me, have no pull on your team so you need this person." Lois stated.
"Hate to break it to you but no one on my team would align with me." Duke pointed out.
"But they don't have to know they're aligned with you," Lois said grinning evilly. "You'll tell me who you're voting for and then I'll tell them."
"What happened to not revealing team secrets?"
"That's only for my team not yours," Lois explained. "Now if you'll excuse me." Lois strutted out leaving Duke behind her.
The snob went to leave when he heard voices.
Confessional – Mr Lanceford be not proud.
Duke: I'm not proud of what I did next I am however proud of what I heard.
*End Confessional*
Duke rushed under the single person bed just as Emily and Daniella entered arguing.
"I don't like him!" Emily declared. "It's that simple."
"I never said you did," Daniella countered. "I simply asked what your feelings toward him were, how do you know I even meant romantic feelings?"
"You did didn't you?" Emily asked.
"Well yes, but that's beside the point." Daniella stated.
"What is the point?"
"Um, uh, whatever you love Griffin!"
"One, you just said that to avoid a question you didn't have an answer to. And two, I do not!" Emily proclaimed. "Where did you even get an idea like that?"
"You guys are Duncan and Courtney 2.0!"
"Didn't they end in disaster?" Emily queried. "And just because I'm somewhat similar to Courtney in personality and Griffin is semi-similar to Duncan does not mean we're gonna get together, and even if we did hypothetically get together wouldn't he end up cheating on me with Angela because she's somewhat similar to Gwen?"
Daniella thought this over for a minute before ultimately retorting childishly, "Emily and Griffin sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love then comes marriage then comes Emily with a baby carriage!"
"A few problems with that song," Emily stated. "One, who in there right mind actually kisses in a tree? Two, I don't want to get married, much less have a baby, until I have a stable career on Broadway, once I've played Elphaba, Mimi, Sandy, Fanny, Eva Peron and Maria (1) then I will consider getting married and possibly having children. And most importantly, that entire song implied I have feelings for Griffin which is a lie."
Daniella just blew a raspberry and left the cabin Emily following behind her still ranting.
Duke quickly ran out of the cabin smirking at what he had heard.
Boys Cabin
Leo was curled up in be reading 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' (2) when Gabe walked in.
Gabe gave Leo a friendly wave, "Hey, great book by the way, my personal favourite at least. Have you read the series before?"
Leo smiled, "Of course, but Harry Potter is just one of those series you have to read over and over again."
"See my friends never got that, they're people who read a book and never look back, I've read the series at least a dozen times."
"Two dozen." Leo stated.
Gabe nodded in approval, "Nice, I see I'm not the only hardcore Harry fan here. Didn't you love the part in the second book when...?"
The two proceeded to get into a heated debate over Ginny and Harry vs. Ron and Hermione.
Mess Hall
"So, how'd the elimination ceremony go?" Leila asked Dash who was hanging on her every word.
"Well –" Dash began but Leila raised a hand getting him to stop.
"Do you mind if I invite Cole to join us?" Leila asked pointing toward the dare devil. "He looks a little lonely." Dash gave a reluctant nod and Leila ushered Cole over. "Cole! Do you wanna join us?" Cole nodded and ran over there taking a seat on Leila's left. "I was just asking how the elimination went."
"It went great, it's a shame Christian was eliminated but –" Cole began.
Dash cut in, "Actually I was just about to answer. Well like Cole said." He put all the disgust he could master into Cole's name. "It went well, it was too bad Christian went home but considering I was in the bottom two I'm definitely relieved –"
"Why do you think you were almost eliminated anyway Dash?" Cole cut in. "Was it because you're a –"
"I think it's because I was Christian's and maybe somebody else's scapegoat." Dash interrupted. "How do you know you didn't get votes, I mean you certainly –"
The conversation went on like this for a while the boys continued to interrupt each other, they even got to the point where they didn't notice that Leila had slipped off.
Elsewhere with Leila...
Leila had snuck out of the mess hall, though she figured she could have stomped out of there and neither of them would have noticed. She stumbled across Summer and Natalia talking though Summer seemed to be struggling.
Summer was tearing up, "It's just I really miss him, you know and –"
She noticed Leila approaching and Natalia sent her a little wave, "Hey."
"Hey," She greeted. "Without trying to out step my boundaries what's wrong with Summer?"
Natalia turned to Summer, "Do you wanna tell her?"
Summer shook her head.
"Do you want me to?"
Summer paused for a moment but finally nodded. Natalia explained the whole situation.
When she was done Leila put a comforting hand on, a now crying, Summer's shoulder, "I am so, so sorry. Have you told any one else?" Summer shook her head. "Not even Zakk?"
Summer shook her head just as Zakk walked in, "Hey."
Summer bit her lip, "I-I have to go." She ran off
Zakk raised an eyebrow, "What was that about?"
"It was nothing." Leila and Natalia said in unison before going to follow Summer.
Confessional – Caring hands
Zakk- Natalia said that I shouldn't pry when it came to Summer's family, I mean, I don't know, what happened, her brother die or something? I was just curious and wanted to know if she was okay, I mean, I like her and I don't want her feeling like crap.
*End Confessional*
Back at the Mess Hall
Jennifer sat at one of the tables reading 'Mockingjay' (3) when Lois approached her, "Hey, Jennifer."
"Um, hi Lois." Jennifer said, confused.
"So, how are you?"
"I'm good, you?"
"That's awesome, so are you liking the competition so far?"
"Yeah."
"You think you're gonna win?"
"Maybe."
Lois smiled, "You know I could easily turn that maybe into a definitely."
Jennifer looked suspicious, "How?"
"Well I was thinking if you and I aligned we could make it far, I make no promises of the final two but definitely far."
"We're on different teams."
"Well, yes but I was thinking I could get us a representative on Team Broadway."
"Who?"
"See I can't tell you if you're not in my alliance."
Jennifer sighed, "Fine, so who'd you have in mind?"
"I'll tell you as soon as I get them to join." Lois stated walking off.
On the Other Side of the Mess Hall
James was currently questioning Garrett, "So you're gay?"
"Yes, I think I've addressed that before." Garrett answered.
"Have you ever kissed a girl?" James queried.
"Well I played Princeton and Rod in a community theatre production of Avenue Q so I guess you could say so." Garrett replied.
"I meant not through a puppet or in a play." James clarified.
"Then no."
"So then how did you know you're not straight?" James asked. "How do you know you're not bi or something?"
"Because I've never been attracted to a woman, in fact the thought of kissing a girl is a tad repulsive."
"Oh, have you ever had a boyfriend?"
"Yes, though I'd rather not talk about him."
"Oh, so you've came out to your parents?"
"Obviously."
"How?" James asked.
"What do you mean how?" Garrett said. "I just told them I was gay."
"It's that easy, they weren't even surprised."
Garrett shrugged, "I didn't exactly hide it. Why all the questions about homosexuality?"
James tensed up a little bit, "No reason, can't a guy just make friendly conversation?"
"Generally homosexuality isn't a friendly subject, you're a jock I figured you'd no this."
"So, you get picked on?"
"Yes, the sad thing is teenagers aren't exactly friendly about homosexuals, adults aren't that friendly either for that matter."
"Oh."
"Yeah oh, now if you'll excuse me I think I'm done with our friendly conversation." Garrett said walking off.
Some Other Place in the Mess Hall
Brooke was doodling in a notebook when Lois approached her, "Hey, Blondie."
Brooke scowled slightly, "Hi."
"Whatcha drawing?" Lois inquired.
Brooke turned pink, "Nothing."
"It's a bunch of little hearts with the words 'James + Brooke = 4ever' isn't it?"
Brooke was now scarlet, "How'd you know?"
Lois shrugged, "I didn't, you told me."
"So are you just here to humiliate me or is there an actual purpose?" Brooke asked.
"Actually yes, I was thinking that we should align." Lois stated. "I know we didn't get off on the right foot exactly but I think you, me and Jennifer could be great together."
"Jennifer?"
"I just talked to her she's in."
"Well what's in it for me?" Brooke asked.
"I can assure you we will all make it far, maybe even the final three." Brooke looked sceptical. "I can also assure your safety till the merge." Brooke raised an eyebrow. "And Trent Squared."
Brooke thought it over for a moment, "Alright."
Lois smiled, "You definitely won't regret this."
Somewhere in the Forest
Rai, Will, Angela and Griffin were gathered around a stump, that they were using as a table, cards in there hands.
"Cheat," Rai declared.
Will flipped over the last two cards revealing a pair of twos, "Nope they're all yours."
Rai sent him a playful glare before collecting the pile of cards in front of her, "So where'd we even get the cards?"
"Billy the Intern," Angela answered putting down a card.
"Is that his title now, darling?" Griffin asked.
"Cheat," Angela said as Griffin grumbled but picked up the cards. "And don't you go using Emily's pet name on me."
"So what should I call you?" Griffin queried as Will placed down a couple cards.
"Angela," She answered.
Rai placed down three cards from her huge hand, "I don't know, I always thought pet names were cute." She batted her eyes towards Will.
"See someone appreciates them," Griffin said placing down his last card. "And I win."
"And Rai definitely loses." Will stated chuckling a little.
Rai sent another playful glare his way, "Yes well that's your fault. So do you guys wanna play –?"
But they never found out Rai's suggestion because Chris' voice came over the speaker, "Attention Theatre Geeks please report to the Mess Hall."
The Mess Hall
The theatre geeks all sat at there respective team tables as Chris spoke, "Welcome teams I hope you're all prepared to do some serious bonding because today we'll be doing,
"A Chorus Line."
