AN: I forgot to mention this, but it doesn't matter if you have read Total Drama American Tour or not if you are going to read this. This is a sequel to it, but the events of TDAT will not even be mentioned. However, it is recommended to read the epilogue of TDAT. If you read the epilogue, it will spoil the winner of TDAT so be careful.
Episode 2: Come for the Talent, Stay for the Prizes
***Recap***
Duncan: The producers said I have to do this stupid recap at the start of every episode. Okay. We met everyone, Jason's an ass, and we formed teams. You happy now?
Ezekiel: Duncan! You've got to do it right! Last time, eh? We formed teams and everyone met each other. We had some interesting players come into the station. From sporty jocks kinda like my buddy Tyler to punk rockers kinda like Duncan here.
Duncan: Dustin's not at all like me!
Ezekiel: You're both punks, eh? Well, no one here's really like me, but I do admire Leigh for being able to speak more languages than I can. Well, here we go!
***Back to Game***
The twenty four contestants were still listening to Ezekiel's speech as he explained what was going to happen next. "Okay guys, follow me, eh? We're going to check out the Egg Shuttle!" Everyone followed Zeke to a red and white shuttle with Eggman's face on the nose. It had hover plates on the bottom which allowed for flight, which got the attention of Nicholas right away.
"Wow, Leigh. You see those?"
"Yeah I do. I could probably have a friend of mine design one of those. He's really into that kind of stuff."
Ezekiel opened the shuttle door, and everyone took a look inside, with Jason rushing towards the back wall shouting, "Happy happy whoo!" before face-planting himself onto it. The impact was enough to knock him out cold.
"Boom! You know he hurt!" Nicholas was feeling ecstatic enough to say that.
"Wow. That's a fail." Nate also felt like saying something.
***Confessional***
Abby: I think Lindsay from the original show would be a Mensa member by now. In fact, if I see a definition of idiot in the dictionary, I wouldn't expect Lindsay's face there anymore. Instead, this Neanderthal known as Jason would be there.
Jason: That wall really hurt. I mean, wow. I can't believe walls would fight back against me! Did it grow arms or something? I mean COME ON! Maybe it did. All the walls are out to get me! First my balls, and now the walls! Wait, is Nate wearing a pirate hat? I could see him wearing one! Ahoy! We set sail to the Sweet Mountain to sail the seven cakes!
***Back to Game***
With Jason still knocked out on the Egg Shuttle floor, everyone else took a look around. "What's this place with the golden doors?" Troy asked, noticing a pair of golden doors that stood out in an otherwise gray background.
"That's my place. It's off limits eh? They built it for the guy that was going to host, but after that trial, it's mine now. Duncan and Tyler have to sleep on the floor."
"Hey!" Both of them protested.
"It's either there or outside. This place is close quarters! Anyway, in the back here is the galley where Chef Duncan will have to prepare food, since Tyler is not allowed in the kitchen after he burned himself cooking pasta at his house." Everyone except Tyler, Abby, and Laura laughed at Zeke's story.
"In here is the living area." Ezekiel pointed out the lounge, which included a brown sectional couch and a flat-screen TV mounted on the wall. "While the shuttle is parked, you can watch TV here, but not while the shuttle is in flight."
"How often is the shuttle in flight?" Tilly asked.
"We have four, well three here but four challenges everywhere else planned, eh? After I give this tour, you'll be free to do whatever for the next three hours or so." Ezekiel showed everyone the viewing room, which was a massive glass room located in the back of the shuttle. "This room's really only useful if the shuttle's in flight, eh?"
"Not much to see if there's a huge statue of Dr. Eggman blocking our view." Abby was the first to notice a golden statue from the viewing room's window.
"As I said, it's only useful when the shuttle's in flight. Tyler and Duncan might be in here designing your challenges. Well, let's check out the upstairs." Everyone went upstairs on a narrow metal staircase that looked like it was about to fall apart. "Upstairs are the bedrooms." Ezekiel continued his tour, "There were originally going to be only three teams with the old host, so some of you will have to bunk with the Game Landers. Your roommate is whoever has the same gender and venue card as you, so find out who that is. If you have a Game Land card, stay here and I'll integrate you into the other three teams."
"Does that mean we're not Game Landers anymore?" Lucille asked.
"You'll still be Game Landers, but you'll be bunking with the other teams."
Everyone kept comparing cards until it was revealed that Nicholas and Jonathan were roommates. "You mean I'm with him?" Jonathan wanted to protest being in the same room as Nicholas.
"Yup. Put you bags in Room TR1. Taylor will be with Abby in Room TR2."
"Thank you Zeke. So far she's the only one worth talking to because she's not stupid enough to talk back."
Jonathan went into his room first to check it out. "Two bunk beds? and a small TV? That's it?"
"It's better than what last season's contestants got." Nicholas added.
"Oh yeah. They didn't even get TV's and they all had to share a room."
Back in the hallway, Taylor didn't say anything, but she put her stuff next to Abby's in her room. Ezekiel gave the next set of keys to Shawna and Marisol. "You two are going to be in Room SM2."
"Come on slowpoke we don't have all day!" Duncan was starting to get a little annoyed by Ezekiel taking forever.
"Why don't you and Tyler set up the challenge for today, eh? We need the main stage to be set up for it." Duncan and Tyler left the shuttle while Ezekiel called out the next room. "Nate? I'm putting you with Chase in SM1."
"Odd couple much?" Lucille decided to comment on the situation. "Good luck in there Nate, he might beat you to a bloody pulp."
"Come on Lucille, you need to give him some credit." Shawna overheard the conversation as Nate and Chase put their stuff in their room. The two of them left their door closed so they didn't have to hear the other room assignments.
"Who has a Starlight Carnival card?" Dustin and Laura raised their hands. "Only two of you? Who's the third person, eh?"
"Jason maybe? He's still on the floor talking about marshmallows or something." Laura went over to wake him up by punching him as hard as she could.
"Ow! That really hurt! What are you some She-Hulk?"
"Yes. One more word from you, and I'll punch you again."
"Jason and Dustin will be in Room SC1. Room SC2 will be for Laura and Tilly."
"Laura and Tilly? Who came up with these?" Lucille was still puzzled about the room arrangements.
"So I'm with farm girl?" Laura questioned Zeke's decision and then turned her head to talk with Tilly. "I hope you train hard at the farm."
"I'm nowhere near as strong as you."
"Learn quickly."
Laura and Tilly went into their room as Ezekiel gave out the Planet Wisp room assignments. "Eliza and Madison are in PW2. Leigh and Jacob are in PW1."
"So, Leigh, you own a camera or something?" Jacob asked almost instantly after Ezekiel gave out their keys.
"Yeah, and it's part of my cell phone."
"Cool! You think you can take a picture of this?" Jacob took off his jacket and rolled up his right sleeve so he can flex his bicep.
"I guess." Leigh took out his cell phone, and took a quick picture.
"Awesome! We'll be great friends! So what do you like to do?"
"I'm into languages and world building. I'm creating my own fantasy world with its own language…" Leigh continued talking as Jacob fell asleep on his bed from boredom.
***Confessional***
Leigh: Okay, Jacob doesn't seem like a bad person, but he's too self-absorbed. Maybe I'll wake him up.
***Back to Game***
Leigh poked Jacob on the shoulder to wake him up. "Uh? Is it morning yet?" Jacob felt startled after Leigh poked him.
"No, but you fell asleep."
"Oh, you were boring me man."
"That's not a nice way to show you're bored."
***Confessional***
Leigh: Update, Jacob doesn't seem interested in anything besides his body. Maybe I'll get him out of his little shell.
***Back to Game***
"So, what's that?" Leigh asked, while pointing to Jacob's jacket.
"Oh, that's my designer jacket. Cool isn't it? I got it at a bodybuilding competition a few weeks ago."
"Oh? You compete?"
"Yeah. I didn't win, and I'm really sad about that."
"So, anyone you like here?"
"Eliza's a hottie. A perfect ten if you ask me. Maybe you should help me ask her out."
"I think you should ask her yourself, and keep your jacket on. Girls don't like showoffs."
"I might do it later."
Back in the hallway, Ezekiel gave out the next set of keys. "For Aquarium Park, I have Remi and Troy in Room AP1 and Mimi and Lucille in AP2."
"I'm with her?" Lucille and Mimi both objected to the assignment.
"Come on, I have to be with Gigi! We need to be together!" Mimi tried to plead with Zeke.
"Come on Zeke, let them be together so I don't have to hear them cry all night. I'd take Stacy over them."
"No way! It affects the equilibrium of the amusement park or something."
"What? I have to be with Mimi or I'll die."
"The producers want you separate for some reason."
"But we're on the same team!" Mimi kept arguing to Ezekiel's deaf ears.
"Mimi is with Lucille, and Gigi is with Stacy. End of story. As for the last room, that leaves Jeremy and Parker to be in AC1. Gigi, your room is AC2 with Stacy." Jeremy and Parker took their stuff into their bedroom as Ezekiel went into the kitchen to make a phone call. "Duncan? I need you to catch some Wisps for next week's challenge. What? Just get some cyan ones. Bye."
After Zeke's phone call, he went into his quarters to check them out. "Wow, eh? I've never sat in luxury before." He thought to himself as he inspected his room. "A bed made with golden sheets, and a bathroom with a massive hot tub. But, that Chris portrait has to go." Zeke went on the bed to remove the portrait of Chris McLean hanging from the wall, only to find a note hidden behind it.
"To Chris McLean," Ezekiel started to read the note aloud. "Remember our deal right? You help me, and I let you host your show here. Don't forget or suffer the consequences." The rest of the note was smeared and Ezekiel couldn't read it.
In Abby and Taylor's room, Taylor spent most of the time listening to her Jazz music while Abby was reading. "Can you turn it down? My ears are hurting here." Abby complained over the volume. Taylor turned the music down, allowing Abby to think out loud. "My team sucks. We've got a cocky jock, a cocky cheerleader, a snooty preacher who I think will be the most likely to go to hell, a wild video gamer that should know when to shut up about everything techy, and a stalker that I wouldn't want a million miles from me. At least she can hump that baseball jock all she wants. As long as I'm not involved with those two imbeciles, I'll be just perfect."
Taylor got tired of Abby's thoughts and left the room, taking her headphones and mp3 player with her. She went into the galley which was empty. She wondered where all the food was. It didn't occur to her to ask anyone else on the shuttle. Everyone else was talking with their roommates, so she went outside to get some fresh air.
Eliza and Madison went out of their room soon after to go shopping. "Hey, Zeke didn't say anything about us leaving did he?" Eliza asked her friend.
"Not really. He just left after Parker and Jeremy got their room."
"Let's hit the mall!"
"Totally! We should go there right now!"
The two shopaholics left the shuttle and looked for a park map. "Tropical Resort Marketplace: 2 miles from this spot. Lizzy! I found a spot!"
"Where Maddie?"
"The Tropical Resort Marketplace; we can take a hover car there!" Eliza and Madison went to the hover car station. "To the Marketplace!" Madison told the Egg Pawn driver where to take them, and they arrived at their destination within seconds.
"Talk about fast travel, Maddie. Where to first?"
"I saw that White Arrow boutique in that brochure. We should go there first!" The two girls walked into the store, and started their shopping spree.
Back at the shuttle, Jeremy and Parker were bored out of their minds. "You're Parker right?"
"Yeah."
"Any ideas? I'm not sure if we can leave yet."
***Confessional***
Jeremy: Zeke didn't say anything. He just left or something after Parker and I got our room. Maybe he's at the Main Stage yelling at his goons.
***Back to Game***
"So besides Jason, anyone here you hate?" Jeremy asked Parker.
"I don't even hate Jason. Sure he's weird but you got to give the guy some credit. I mean, he managed to fill out the application form, let alone get accepted."
"You think the Planets will vote him off or something?"
"Maybe. Dustin's trying to help him calm down. Can't say much about the others, bro."
"You know, we need to get going to that party store if we're going to make it."
"Maybe Jason should come too."
"I don't think so. If he comes, Dustin comes too."
"Fine."
***Confessional***
Parker: (Covered up in foam and wearing a Speedo) So Jeremy, Dustin, Jason, and I decided to do something while we wait. We went to the party store! Oh we had a blast!
***Back to Game***
Parker and Jeremy picked up Dustin and Jason as all four of them went to the party store. On the way there, Jeremy decided to get to know Dustin better. "So Dustin, what are you into?"
"I'm in a band."
"What instrument?"
"Guitar, man. You skate too? I used to skate all the time."
"Know any tricks, dude?"
"Just ollies."
"Really? You suck, man."
"What about you?"
"I'm no pro, but I can do several flips and stuff. I know some really sick tricks!"
"Show me. You have your board don't you?"
"See you there!" Jeremy got on his board and shot off in front of Jason and Parker. Dustin soon followed with his own board, leaving Jason and Parker behind.
"You know, we might go this way." Parker spoke to Jason, expecting an insane response.
"Sure." The two of them turned left and went into a party store to buy a few things. Once they entered, they encountered an Egg Pawn and a sign that said. "All party foam is 90% off. We're having our blowout sale!"
"Okay Jason, ready for something sweet?"
"What is it what is it what is it what is it?"
"You and I are going to have the all-chicks party of our lives! We get these cans of foam, and we'll spray the girls with them!"
"Woo hoo! Anything for the sexy la-DAYS!"
"Now we're talking!" Parker went up to the Egg Pawn to buy ten cans of foam. "Ten cans of party foam please."
"100 rings." The cash register displayed the price
"Rings?"
"Oh I know!" Jason had an idea. "Maybe if I go and get some rings, I'll be right back!" Jason darted off screaming and thirty seconds later, came back with 1000 rings.
"Dude." Parker was shocked over what just happened.
"They're just lying on the ground."
Parker paid up 100 of the 1000 rings Jason collected and both of the boys went outside of the store. "Wait here." Parker asked Jason to wait while he went into a restroom to change into his Speedo. When he came out, Jason already had the cans of foam ready and he started spraying Parker with the foam.
"Okay bro, not on me!" Parker tried to get Jason to stop. "It's for the chicks!"
"Come on! I love doing this! Spray spray spray! Ooh I got your left arm there! I think I'll call that arm Snow White now!"
Parker tried to resist the spray, but his pleas for Jason to stop eventually turned into hysterical laughter as Jason kept spraying Parker with foam. Within seconds, Parker's entire body was covered in foam as Jason used the last of the spray. "Haha. We're out aren't we?"
"I can get more."
"That's okay. Now help me up!" Jason went to help Parker up, only to get some of the foam on his teal overshirt. "Okay dude. I can tell you want to party, but I am not your drawing board for foam."
"But it was fun! Wasn't it?"
"You know, maybe it was. If we do it again, I might come up with a compromise. My left arm is all yours to draw or spray foam on. Now we need a shower!"
"Got it Parker!" Parker and Jason started to head back to the Egg Shuttle.
***Confessional***
Jason: This is where this happened. It was awesome! Parker rocks! I was wrong about Chase being the Queen. It is so Parker! He let me get these cans of foam at the party store, and he had me spray him with them! Had so much fun with it! Too bad I got some on my shirt.
Parker: (Still covered up in foam and wearing his Speedo) Give Jason a can of foam, and you've got this. He's such a silly goose, that he even got foam on some on his own clothes. Don't ask about the Speedo thing. It's just practice for when the chicks get here.
***Back to Game***
Back at the shuttle, Marisol kept knocking on Chase's door. "Hello? Oh my God! Chase get out here!" Marisol was determined to get to first base with her crush. However, every time the door opened, Nate was there to answer it.
"Oh it's you again. Chase is busy lifting weights."
"Wow, cool. That's so awesome that you told me that! He's so burly!"
"I'd date you if you weren't so creepy. Now go away."
"So naïve, I love that about you."
"Are you going to let me see Chase or not?"
"Get out before I call Zeke on you."
"Fine. You're no fun, Nate." Marisol left the door and went back to her room. Nate closed the door after she left.
"What happened?" Chase finished his last bench press set.
"Your stalker showed up."
"Oh. I've got more weights to lift. Have fun with your little game."
"I will! I'll beat Lucy one day! I know I will!"
By this time, Eliza and Madison came back from their shopping excursion with at least ten full bags of clothes. "Wow! We had to use rings. Good thing there was an ATM." Eliza started the conversation with her friend.
"Sure Lizzy. I totally loved that pink dress you bought. You should wear it sometime."
"Maybe later. I still love this purple tube top and jacket I'm wearing."
"It looks great on you!"
Jacob came in and started to spy on the two girls who were still talking about their clothes. He listened to them for a few seconds, and then decided to make his move. "Hey Eliza, if there was something in common that we had, it would be our connection."
"What?"
"Ugh, never mind."
"What are you saying? If you're trying to hit on me, forget it."
***Confessional***
Jacob: BLEW IT! I didn't even show off my bod, and she still rejected me!
***Back to Game***
Soon after, Jeremy and Dustin came back from their skate-off. "You're not half bad Dusty. Can I call you that?"
"Whatever."
"It's all cool. Where are Jason and Parker?" All of a sudden, Parker entered the shuttle being completely covered in foam and wearing a black Speedo. "Don't let Jason near any cans of foam guys."
"Okay, but why are you in a Speedo?" Dustin was still confused with Jeremy still gasping over the sight.
"Long story."
"Parker had a plan for an all-girls party, well all the girls and us." Jason tried to defend him.
"But this happened." Parker continued to defend himself, "Jason had one of his crazy episodes or something, and started spraying the foam on me."
"I don't get it. You're hiding something." Jeremy was getting suspicious. Just as Parker ran to his room to change back to his normal clothes, Tyler came into the shuttle to fetch everyone.
"Attention everyone, wash up and meet us in the amphitheater for the first team challenge. You have fifteen minutes!" Everyone scrambled over the bathroom sinks with some of the girls going into the public Tropical Resort restrooms just to fix their hair. Eliza took the longest to make sure her hair was spot-on perfect by the time it was ready for the challenge. Fifteen minutes passed, and everyone was accounted for at the Main Stage.
"Okay guys, here's our first challenge." Ezekiel addressed the entire crowd. "It's a bit of an icebreaker just in case you don't know everyone on your team, so I want each team to perform a talent contest involving everyone on your team. Duncan, Tyler and I will be the judges. As long as it's legal on Earth, it's legal here in the theme park."
"Bonus points will be awarded if your team pulls something from the park in your show." Tyler added. "We'll give you one hour to come up with an idea. Winning team gets a reward, and last place team sends someone home tonight. Ready? Go!"
***Tropical Sweets***
Abby was the first to speak. "We need a plan and fast. Since none of you are as smart as I am, I declare myself team leader."
"Whoa cocky much?" Nicholas was not impressed.
"You'd better shut up or I'll shut you up."
"Guys? Can we get an idea?" Chase tried to calm down Abby and Nicholas. "We're not going anywhere if we don't agree on anything!"
"I'll agree with anything Chasey says!" Marisol was eager to show her appreciation. "You want to know what these are?" Marisol opened up a locket containing baby pictures of Chase.
"Where did you get those you thief!" Chase almost yanked the pictures out of Marisol's hands. "You stole them from my wallet!" The rest of the Tropical Sweets laughed except for Abby. "Give them back now!"
"Marisol, that's not right." Shawna decided to step in after the laughter. "Those belong to Chase."
"Just think of what God wants you to do." Jonathan said his piece.
"No one cares about God anymore." Abby decided to do another long rant. "We all know there is no God. Where do your prayers go? Do any of them get answered? No. You spend the rest of your life wondering why God abandons you only to find out there's no God in the first place. Spare yourself the turmoil later if you just quit now. Don't be spreading your faith on any of us."
***Confessional***
Shawna: I'm starting to get tired of Abby. Sure Marisol's a freak, but Abby just has to go. She's so obnoxious.
Jonathan: How dare she mock the word of God! She will be burning in the sixth layer of hell in the City of Dis!
***Back to Game***
"We can do this Sweets! Just think of an idea!" Shawna wanted to get the idea ball rolling, but nothing was coming up.
***Starlight Planets***
Five of the six Starlight Planets were sitting in a circle. Jason was not with them, thinking he was playing a game of Duck Duck Goose. "Duck," he patted Laura's head. "Duck," He patted Leigh's head. "Duck," He patted Madison's head. "GOOSE!" He ended with Dustin's head and ran off into the distance. Dustin did nothing and ignored the whole thing.
"What the hell?" Eliza tried to bring up what just happened. "Never mind. We can do the challenge without him."
"Now we just need ideas." Laura was getting a little bit impatient with the rest of her team idling.
"I got it! We can build a hologram of every venue in the park!" Leigh came up with an idea.
"No one here knows how to do that, Leigh."
"It was just a thought. O-namae desu ka? (Translation: What's your name?)"
"What?"
"Oh sorry. I was thinking about something else. That's right, you're Laura."
"Speak English asshole."
"I like Leigh's idea, but it's way more than we can handle." Madison was the first to defend the hologram idea. However she came up with something a little different. "Why not make a diorama of every venue in the park?"
Dustin slapped his face with his own hand.
***Confessional***
Dustin: Who had to pay me to join this game? This is Total Drama Colors, not Total Diorama Colors. Not that I wanted to cause drama, but as long as I'm under the radar, I'm cool with that.
Madison: I don't get why Dustin's so down.
***Back to Game***
"Why so down, Dustin?" Madison felt concerned about Dustin's sudden sour mood.
"I wanted something with a little more action."
"Well, there are six, I mean five of us." Laura came up with something. "Maybe each of us can act out a venue here."
"Getting better. Which one would you be?"
"Probably this one."
"I call Planet Wisp!" Madison was eager to claim her venue.
"I'll do Aquarium Park." Leigh signed up.
"I'll take Sweet Mountain." Eliza was on board. That left Starlight Carnival and Asteroid Coaster left between Jason and Dustin.
"Who wants to get Jason?" Dustin was concerned about him getting lost and not making it on time to the talent show.
"Leave him. We can leave a venue out." Laura was adamant about leaving Jason out to do his own thing.
"I'll get him. We need him." Dustin got up to search for Jason. The rest of the Starlight Planets continued to rehearse their parts without Dustin.
***Aquarium Asteroids***
The six team members were coming up with ideas in rapid succession. One involved Jeremy with his skateboard while Mimi and Gigi sing. That idea was thrown out almost immediately.
"Oh my gosh Gigi! Even though Remi doesn't want us to sing, we should sing just for him!"
"Wow Mimi. You're right. We can do a dance number too. We know all the songs!"
While they continued talking, Jason ran back to the meeting area with a butterfly net trying to catch a loose Cyan Wisp. "I'm gonna catch you and learn how to fly! I'm going to flap my wings and fly! FLY I SAY!" Within moments, Jason tripped over Gigi.
"I'm gonna kill you Jason!"
"You are so dead!" Mimi got up and smacked Jason in the face.
"Come on guys? Don't you realize I've been beaten up and covered up in foam already today?"
"We don't care."
"Well, I can't even tell you two apart. You both look the same!"
"HOW DARE YOU! You die tonight!" Gigi attacked Jason with all of her might. Mimi joined in until Duncan stepped in to break up the fight.
"Jason! No more! Stay with your team! If I hear another word, I'm kicking you out of this game!" Jason gulped at Duncan's threat. "In fact, go back to the shuttle. I don't want to see you anymore."Tyler walked in to see what the matter was, "Tyler, take him to the shuttle."
Dustin came back soon afterwards. "No word of Jason anywhere."
"I'm taking him back to the shuttle. He tried to kill the twins." Tyler answered. "You might be one team member short soon. He's not mature enough to be here." Tyler took off with Jason back to the shuttle and the Aquarium Asteroids continued with their ideas for the talent show. Dustin went back to his team to finish his team's idea for their show.
When everyone left, the Aquarium Asteroids continued their dance routine. "Spin!" Stacy called out as Mimi and Gigi worked together to do a spin. "Okay. Spin again!" Mimi and Gigi spun in the opposite direction.
The twins continued their dance until Remi decided to talk to Stacy. "You write music right?"
"Yeah?"
"Maybe you can sing instead of them."
"Sure. I'll come up with something." Stacy then addressed the two twins. "Okay you two keep working at it. I'm going to write a short song real quick."
Stacy started to write her song. She got a few lines in, until Remi showed up again to talk about the effects. "Mind if Jeremy and I do the effects?"
"What were you thinking?"
"Something flashy."
"Like fire?"
"Totally." Jeremy added. "Gotta have fire in a talent show!"
"Sure. Now we need to practice." The Aquarium Asteroids continued practicing their routines until Ezekiel called time.
***Game Landers***
The Game Landers were also strapped for ideas. Nate thought about doing a video game, and while Lucille agreed, the two gamers had different ideas on how to execute it. "Platformer!" Nate shouted.
"First person shooter!" Lucille yelled.
"That's so new! It's got to be a platformer like the games of old."
"Yeah, well I can pwn you anytime, anywhere, so we're going with a shooter game."
"Uh no. I still want a platform game."
"Fine. I'll let you do your little platform game, but if we lose, you're going home."
Jacob decided to interrupt the gaming discussion with his own idea. "How about we do a muscle show! Parker and I have Speedos." Jacob took off his shirt and did a few poses. "Check me out guys!"
"Put your shirt back on." Lucille was disgusted with Jacob's cockiness.
"I'm not interested." Nate decided to chime in with his opinion.
"Why not? At least Leigh seemed interested."
"No one cares about your biceps, dude, except Leigh and maybe Marisol."
"Ooh that's low, but I just realized something. I'm going to be on TV!"
"You're already on TV, now come up with something all six of us can do."
"Fine." Jacob put his shirt and jacket back on and joined the rest of his team during the idea brainstorming. "So what are you two doing?"
"We're coming up with a game performance. You'd make a good common enemy." Lucille commented.
"What? I'm the…enemy?"
"If you take it that way, then yes. In fact, why don't you hang out with Jason? He needs friends too, and you two would make a perfect match."
"Who him? Forget it. He's crazy beyond comparison, and he's always with those blond guys."
"Hey!" Parker overheard Jacob and Lucille's conversation.
"Sorry dude, but it's true! Why do you hang around him so much?"
"Why don't you understand him? Oh right, you only care about yourself isn't it?"
"Guys? Can we get back to the challenge?" Nate felt focused. "So we have this game idea, and Lucille and I can be playing the game while the four of you act it out."
"I'll act as the player!" Tilly decided to volunteer.
"I think Taylor and I can be platforms." Parker volunteered, but he got a cold stare from Taylor. "Hey, it's not like you talk or anything right?" Taylor walked off away from the rest of her team.
***Confessional***
Parker: I think she's gone if we vote someone off tonight.
Lucille: Wow, Parker. Must you be so rude? She doesn't have to talk you know.
***Back to Game***
"It's decided." Nate came up with his final plans. "Lucille and I will act like we're playing the game onstage. Tilly will be our hero, and you boys can be the bad guys."
"Fine." Parker and Jacob said in unison. Tilly nodded her head in agreement. The Game Landers decided to rehearse without Taylor's help until time was called.
***Starlight Planets***
Dustin rejoined his team and made an announcement. "I have some sad news guys. Jason's been kicked out."
"Finally!" Laura was glad to hear the news.
"That means we have to do everything ourselves. I'll do Asteroid Coaster. Starlight Carnival's going to be left out."
"Oh okay. New we need to rehearse." The five remaining Starlight Planets continued rehearsing their routine until Ezekiel called everyone back to the stage.
***Everyone***
One hour later, Ezekiel called everyone to the stage. "Okay, we only have two judges now. Tyler had to take care of some stuff at the shuttle, eh? So Duncan and I are going to judge your performances. Highest score wins."
"And what do we win?" Troy asked.
"A trip for your team to ride the Big Boy Wheel! You also get some nice buttered popcorn, eh? Now I'm going to randomize the team order. Asteroids? You're up first!"
***Confessional***
Troy: I can't believe the twins are going to do their little dance.
Stacy: Better me singing than the twins.
***Back to Game***
The six Aquarium Asteroids all walked up onto the stage to start their act. Troy put the music on as Mimi and Gigi started their dance. Soon afterwards, Stacy started her song.
Wisps are aliens.
They come in colors.
of the rainbow.
You have the fast lasers,
and the digging drills,
and seven other types.
Colors red and blue
combine oh so true.
After a fire effect perfected by Remi and Jeremy, their performance was over. "I'm giving your team a 6 out of 10." Ezekiel thought it was okay.
"You get a 4 from me." Duncan was not as impressed. "Try harder next time. Game Landers? Your turn."
The Game Landers went onstage and did their act, which was mostly Nate and Lucille playing video games. The other team members didn't really do anything except cheer their team on.
"4 out of 10, eh?" Ezekiel scored the Game Landers' performance first, not seeming interested in Nate and Lucille playing games.
"3. You suck." Duncan wasn't too thrilled either. "Planets? You're up!"
The Starlight Planets did their gig with interpretive dancing of five of the park's venues done by each of the five active team members. Zeke loved it so well, he gave it an 8 out of 10.
"Wow, you still suck. You get 3 out of 10." At this point, Duncan seemed like a tough crowd. The Tropical sweets were last. They went up to the stage. The first thing they tried to do was apologize for not having a talent.
"Do something!" Duncan was getting impatient.
Suddenly, Marisol got out a sheet of paper and started to write love poetry about each of the boys present at the ceremony. After reading ten fairly short poems, she prepared to read the last one.
Chase, you are my angel
Whatever will I do without you?
You're so hunky and hot
Whatever will I do without you?
Chase wanted to leave, but Duncan stopped him. "Where are you going?"
"I can't take it anymore. She's obsessed with me, and we only just met!"
"Deal with it bro. Now sit down. I know she has some wonderful words to say about you."
"I don't trust a single word she says." Chase tried to cover his ears as Marisol continued her poem.
I want you to be wed
to me and only me
So that when we go to bed
I can fly and be free.
Duncan stopped her from finishing. "Stop! We heard enough! Your poem sucked Marisol! No points for your team."
"Tropical Sweets?" Ezekiel was the next to address the team. "You'll be voting someone off tonight. Report back here in three hours. As for the Starlight Planets, you win free passes and popcorn!"
All five Starlight Planets cheered for joy as Ezekiel gave each of them a pass for the big Ferris Wheel and a bag of buttered popcorn. The five of them ran off together towards the Big Boy.
***Confessional***
Shawna: It's not our fault we lost. I think we all know who's going home. It's either Miss Perfect or Miss Stalker.
Marisol: I'm so sad we lost. But I'll be with Chasey all day!
Chase: Marisol's going home. I can tolerate Abby, but not her.
***Back to Game***
Back in the Egg Shuttle, Tyler tried to concentrate on his independent study math homework, but couldn't because of Jason's maniacal high-pitched cackling. Ezekiel and Duncan walked in to see what was wrong. "Guys?" Tyler addressed the other two hosts, "We need to get rid of Jason permanently. He's laughing so loud and all he's been doing is having loud conversations with himself ever since we put him in his room."
"I'm not eliminating him, eh? He needs to be with the others. If you eliminate him, you'll forget what you did to me during my therapy sessions."
Duncan disagreed. "Take him to Eggman. He'll know what to do."
"No thanks, Duncan. I'm putting him back on his team." Ezekiel went to Jason's room to let him out. "You're back in the game for now. Join your teammates on the Big Boy."
"I don't really want to. They all hate me."
"I don't think so. Dustin's trying to be your friend, eh? What about Parker?"
"It's not them. It's the others like Laura."
"Your team needs you. Go to the Big Boy and have a great time." Ezekiel gave Jason the sixth ticket to the Big Boy Wheel and sent him off into the resort. He went back to his quarters to talk with the other hosts afterwards. "What's next week's challenge?"
"Duncan caught the bunch of Cyan Wisps that you asked for. We'll come up with something for next week's challenge and get back to you Zeke."
"It was easy. They're attracted to this optical cable stuff I've found throughout the park." Duncan showed Ezekiel a piece of optical cable he ripped from the Tropical Resort floor. "Eggman called while you were gone, and he said we can have as many Wisps as we need."
"That was nice of him, eh? I but he's using our show for publicity of his theme park."
"Don't you have to go and do an elimination ceremony or something? We'll handle Jason." Tyler and Duncan continued talking in the galley as Ezekiel left to take care of the impending elimination.
Three hours later, all six Tropical Sweets were back at the main stage after the talent stage was taken down. Ezekiel joined them soon afterwards. "Each of you gets a yellow park ticket. Hold on to it as it's your admittance into the next part of the game, eh? Each of you will go into the voting confessional behind the stage to vote someone off. Who you vote for will be considered for elimination from the game. When you are ready, cast your vote."
***Confessional***
Abby: Isn't it obvious. Stalker chick needs to go. She's going to freak all of us out if she stays any longer.
Jonathan: I'm not sure who to vote for.
Chase: Yeah, it's for her.
Marisol: I'm voting Abby because she's getting on everyone's nerves.
Nicholas: Do I have to show who I'm voting for? I want a secret ballot Zeke!
Shawna: Ever heard of a secret ballot?
***Back to Game***
"Now that everyone's voted, time for me to show them." Ezekiel walked to where the votes were cast and collected them. He read the votes. "First up is Marisol." Marisol did not feel too well about hearing her name. "Next up is one for Abby." Abby started to get rightfully nervous. "Third vote's for Marisol. Fourth vote's also for Marisol." Ezekiel felt rushed to finish the ceremony so he could watch Canadian hockey in the Egg Shuttle. "The first person voted off Total Drama Colors is…Marisol. You will need to bring me your ticket and bracelet."
Marisol felt rejected. "Why did you all vote for me? I love you all, and this is how you repay me?"
"We tried to warn you." Shawna answered, "But you wouldn't listen."
"Goodbye, stalker girl. Don't hump the confessional camera on the way out!" Abby was more than happy to say goodbye to what she thought was her first victim. Marisol handed her ticket to Ezekiel, who stamped it with a black VOID stamp. She then gave the host her yellow bracelet. Ezekiel placed the bracelet onto a wooden peg shaped like a tall tower.
***Confessional***
Chase: Phew. I can rest easy. I felt safe, but now I feel even safer with Marisol gone.
Abby: One down, well maybe two, but twenty two more to go. I will make it to the top no matter what, and these imbeciles will kneel before the ground I walk on by the time they're done here. First it was Marisol, and then the others will follow. They will all be the sheepish swine that I herd; herd straight to the elimination block.
Nicholas: Glad she's gone, but why does Zeke have to make us reveal our votes? Maybe it's for the TD Colors Wiki or something I don't know.
***Back to Game***
"For the rest of you, rest up, we have our first Wisp challenge in two days." Everyone left the elimination area and walked back to the Egg Shuttle. Ezekiel got into his pajamas and decided to watch the last fifteen minutes of his hockey game. "Canucks are losing? WHY? Join us next time, eh? Our contestants will be learning to navigate with Cyan Wisps with a challenge that my goons will design. Later!"
***Final Words***
Marisol: Why would they vote me off? Really? Do I get a cookie or something? Abby, you are going to pay for what you did to me. You too Chase! You are nothing more than dirt! I thought I loved you, but you only use people! I HATE YOU CHASE! CURSE YOU! Curse all your children too!
