"You don't honestly think you're gonna be voted out do you?" Zakk asked. "Summer, you're way too awesome to be voted out."
"I bet you just jinxed it," Summer said.
"Oh really?" Zakk questioned. "And what are we betting."
"The winner can get the loser to do anything for them," Summer said. "Anything."
"You're on," Zakk said.
Later...
"So you're not worried?"
"No, are you saying I should be worried?" Lois snapped at Brooke.
"No, but your team is up for elimination," Brooke defended. "You could be eliminated."
"Yes, but nervousness, along with most emotions are a state of mind, so I just choose not to be nervous," Lois stated.
"I don't think that's true," Jennifer muttered.
"If I say it's true then it's true," Lois snapped.
"I don't think that's true either."
Elsewhere...
"So, Angela?"
"So, Gabriel?" Angela responded mockingly. "Why do I feel like I'm getting interviewed?"
"Maybe you've realized what an inquisitive person I am," Gabe said. "A person who's really good at listening, so if you wanna get something off your chest feel free."
"Yeah, it could be that," Angela responded. "Or it could be the fact you're holding a notebook and a pen."
"Well, I guess," Gabe countered looking down at the notebook in question.
"Subtly isn't really your forte is it?"
Confessional – Listening is my forte... unfortunately.
Gabe: I thought the reporter shtick might be to much but Daniella wanted me to record everything in case she mentioned something important and taping her would just be creepy. Though I guess taking note is a little creepy too...
*End Confessional*
"I guess not, but this isn't about me, it's about you."
"Now I'm sure you're interviewing me," Angela said. "What do you wanna know?"
"I wanna know about you, your family, your favourites, your hobbies, your romantic life." Gabe said emphasising the last part.
"Oh," Angela nodded in understanding. "So that's what this is about."
"What do you mean?" Gabe asked still lacking the subtlety every reporter should have.
"You, like everyone else, want to know what's going on between me and Griffin," Angela said with a roll of her eyes.
Gabe sputtered a bit, "There's something between you and Griffin?"
"No! And that's what I'm trying to tell people! We're just friends!" Angela said.
"Like how Duncan and Gwen were just friends?" Gabe asked nervously.
"No! Not like that, I don't like him like that," Angela said.
"Good," Gabe said with a sigh of relief.
"What?" Angela asked.
"Nothing," Gabe replied quickly. "Well, I've gotta go... write an article!"
Confessional – Not good with excuses either.
Gabe: Write an article? Really? What was that? God, I really shouldn't talk to pretty girls. *His eyes widen* Not that I think she's pretty! I mean she's not ugly! She's gorgeous! I'm... gonna stop talking now...
*End Confessional*
Meanwhile...
James sat on his bed tuning his guitar, or attempting to he kept getting distracted because Garrett was watching him from the other side of the bed with an unreadable expression on his face, "You know, it's really hard to do this when you keep staring at me."
"You could always stop tuning it and pay attention to me," Garrett suggested.
"Didn't peg you as the needy type," James commented.
"I am not needy, I'm an independent person," Garrett said.
"I kid, I kid," James said. "I guess I should've learned not to do that by now." Garrett gave him an accusatory look. "Still kidding."
"Well you suck at it," Garrett said.
"At least I have a sense of humour," James taunted.
"I have a great sense of humour," Garrett said. "I just choose not to show it."
"Sure," James muttered.
"You know, you're kind of verbally abusive," Garrett said. "You really should warn me about all your issues, such as the foot fetish and the verbal abuse."
"You're really still on the foot fetish thing?" James asked and Garrett nodded smugly. "Man, you're annoying."
"And to think I was willing to engage in PDA," Garrett declared. "Oh well."
James rolled his eyes, "You were not."
"Yes I was," Garrett declared. "But now I'm not, go sit over there."
"It's my bed!"
"Your point?"
"Whatever," James said getting up and sitting on some random bunk. "You're a teenage boy you'll crack eventually."
"Please, I'm gay and I live in a small town I could go forever," Garrett said.
"Oh, yay," James said.
"You still have Brooke," Garrett muttered.
"What was that?"
"The girls still obsessed with you despite lying about your dead father," Garrett clarified. "Which wasn't even that big a deal."
"She's not obsessed, she's just friendly," James defended.
"Oh really?" Garrett said. "I guess I didn't tell you what happened yesterday..."
Yesterday...
"Hey Garrett!" Brooke chirped sitting down next to the blonde. Garrett was currently picking at his dinner and was deep in thought.
"Brooke," Garrett said barely looking up from his food.
"So you're friends with James right?" Brooke asked.
"Um, you could say we're friends," Garrett said looking for the right phrase.
"Well, do you know if he likes me?" Brooke asked.
"He doesn't," Garrett said bluntly.
"Are you sure?" Brooke asked.
"Yes."
"Yes he likes me?"
"No."
"So he doesn't like me?"
"Yes."
"So he likes me?"
"I have a feeling this conversation is gonna be pretty repetitive so I'm gonna go," Garrett said leaving his tray behind.
Present Day...
James snickered; he was now back on his own bed watching his boyfriend talk with an amused look on his face.
"What's so funny?" Garrett asked. "And I thought I told you to leave the bed."
"You did but I came back," James said responding to the second statement first. 'You know, you're cute when you're jealous."
Garrett sputtered indignantly, "I am not jealous."
"Alright, whatever you say," James muttered, his face was getting closer to Garrett's though whether if it was him or Garrett that was doing the leaning in was unclear. And soon hormones kicked in and the boys began to do what hormonal teenagers do. "Victory," James muttered between kisses.
Unfortunately for James they heard foot steps coming closer, James pushed Garrett away resulting in the perfectionist bumping his head against the wooden frame that was supporting the bed above the one they were sitting on.
"Ow! What was that?" Garrett hissed.
"Someone's coming," James replied.
Just then Brooke came in gently opening the door," Hey, am I interrupting something?"
"No, of course not. What would there be to interrupt?" James spoke rapidly and quickly.
"Nothing, I guess. I just heard Garrett say 'ow' so I thought you guys were fighting or something," Brooke said.
"Nope, Garrett bumped his head, we were definitely not fighting," James said.
Confessional – Wow, couples do start to sound alike. Example: Jarrett
James: But we probably will be soon.
*End Confessional*
Garrett: But we probably will soon.
*End Confessional*
"Oh, well that's good," Brooke said. "While Chris' is gonna play Little Shop of Horrors in the mess hall soon, I thought maybe you'd wanna come." Though James seemed blind to it Garrett saw this statement was directed more at his boyfriend then him.
"Actually, James was going to take me to get some ice given that he's the reason I bumped my head," Garrett declared giving James a look that said they won't be doing anything like that anytime soon.
"I thought you weren't fighting," Brooke said.
"Oh, we weren't," Garrett said he gave James a look that said they definitely were now.
"Oh, well I'll see you in there," Brooke said leaving.
"And that is why you need to come out," Garrett said.
In the Mess Hall...
"I hate to go and leave you lonely," Cole said.
"It's alright," Leila said. 'It's only just one movie."
"I guess," Cole said, he sighed and started to get up but Leila pulled him down.
"Don't get eliminated," She said pulling him into a hug.
He smiled a dopey smile and left before he could see Leila give Dash, who was sitting on her other side, a hug and wish him luck.
Outside...
"Hey," Summer said walking up to Zakk. "Before we go to the campfire can I ask you a question?"
"Sure," Zakk said with a shrug.
"The last challenge it was revealed who your mom is, is that true?"
Zakk sighed, "Yeah, well I live with my dad, who is awesome by the way, but I was the result of a one night stand and I was left on my dad's doorstep and he raised me on his own and we were doing fine until I got in a car accident."
"Oh, gosh are you okay now?"
"Yeah it's fine now, but I needed blood then and while the only person who could give it to me was my mom, Blaineley. After the procedure she tried to reconcile with me and her camera crews. But, I really don't care the woman is a bitch."
"But, she's your mom," Summer said.
"Yeah but I have my dad and some awesome friends," Zakk said giving her a little wink.
Elimination...
"Alright Team Westend! It's your second time being here! You know the drill!
Confessional – Voting
Dash: Man, I really lucked on out the challenge today. But can you blame me? I hate elephants and I just freeze up around them. *He sighs again* Man, I really hope Leila doesn't think less of me for this. Though, it was nice helping her with her challenge, even if I did do a small part. *Dash looks up at the camera with a serious expression* Speaking of which, I vote for Cole to be eliminated. The dude is cool and all, but I just dislike him. Plus, I've heard rumours of him trying to vote me off, so he can keep Leila for himself, so... yeah.
*End Confessional*
Zakk: There isn't anyone else to vote for and she's kind of a bitch.
*End Confessional*
Natalia: It has to be Summer. Not only did she lose the challenge for our team...plus I'm sure Zakk could concentrate better if Summer wasn't here.
*End Confessional*
Cole: Well, the only three people on our team to not get a point is me, Dash, *shudder* and Summer. I'd have to vote for... Dash. Probably the nicest and easiest of the fears. And yes, that's totally why I picked him!
*End Confessional*
Summer: Everyone here is so nice! I'm just picking at random! Sorry!
*End Confessional*
Lois: They're not useful physically and have way to good a social game. The choice was obvious.
*End Confessional*
"After reading your vote's one thing is clear, nobody is on the same page. The one person without votes was... Zakk." Zakk smiled and caught his marshmallow giving Summer a wink.
"Cole...
"Dash...
"Lois... Girls this is the final marshmallow and it goes too...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...Natalia!"
Summer looked crushed, she gave Natalia a small smile and then made her way to the docks.
Zakk's face immediately fell and he got up and ran down to the docks, "Summer!"
"Yeah," She said.
"You won the bet," He said.
"Zakk," She said.
"Yeah?"
"Kiss me," She said. And as there lips collided you could see both teens smiling. They pulled apart. "Bye."
Zakk nodded and waved goodbye.
Confessional – Summer's last words
Summer: Am I disappointed I was eliminated? Of course. Was the kiss worth it? A little. And who knows maybe I'll come back, it's Total Drama so anything could happen.
*End Confessional*
"Well there you have it folks! Summer is gone but Zummer lives on!" Chris declared. "Will anyone else hook up? And what do we have in store for the teens next time? Find out on the next dramatic episode of Total. Drama. Musical!
A/N: What did you think? Sorry this took so long life and laziness have been getting the better of me lately. Here's your questions:
What did you think?
Sad to see Summer go?
Surprised to see Summer go?
Happy to see Zummer get together?
Was there to much romance/fluff in the chapter?
Favorite quote of the chapter? Of the story?
Did you catch the Wicked reference? (It barely counted as a reference)
Did you catch the Ask Milly reference? Do you watch Ask Milly?
Alright I hope you liked the chapter! It was giving me a tooth ache righting it, it was very fluffy but I wrote after watching some cheesing RomCom which would have been crappy if the guy from The Office wasn't in it (not Steve Carrell the other main guy (I think his character is Jim or John or something)).
I was sad to get rid of Summer but I felt like it was her time to go in a way.
If you haven't seen Ask Milly (or anything FineBros) your homework is to watch Ask Milly on YouTube (not for children!) It's hilarious.
