Hey! I found the hand written copy of this story! Of course, I didn't get very far, but it did include the Final Challenge (chapter and diagram reference) and yes, I did think that far ahead. It was good for me to find it, because I could remember all my shippings and my state of mind. Also, I found my drafts of This is Your Right, so my sister can update that, too! So, all of these shippings are from my original TDI state of mind, but out of respect for TDA and TDWT, I have Gwen broken up with Duncan, Sierra and Alejandro aren't competing, but they come along to cheer them on, Courtney is pinning after Duncan, Beth has a crush on Cody, and Cody still has a crush on Gwen. Oh, and Ezekiel is back to normal (or as normal as an Ezekiel can be.) So yeah! Vote for Courtney!
Chapter 3 – Detention, Tug-o-Get Out of Jail Free Card
I was never the most popular kid in school. Even after Total Drama. Most people in school now knew me as "the kid who blew it." Whenever people called me the Codemiester, I knew they were making fun of me. It was horrible at school. My life was a living nightmare. Every day I was made fun of. I had no comfort; I only hope that I would see Gwen again.
One day I was walking to my next class when the principal called me to his office via announcements. I sighed in annoyance. One of the bullies who liked to beat me up probably blamed something he did on me. Again.
I came into the principal's office and sure enough, a bully named Butch was sitting with the principal. I sighed.
"Okay, what did Butch say I did this time?" I asked, sadly.
"Butch tells me you blew up the boy's bathroom," the principal told me, "He also tells me that you tampered with the showers."
Butch snickered at me, and I tried not to look. "So how many weeks of detention do I get this time, even though I didn't do it?" I wondered.
"Three," he said, "One for the bathroom, one for the showers, and one for your cocky attitude. Now get to class, mister."
I silently got up and shuffled off.
My next class was gym. I hated gym. That's where everyone ganged up on me. Especially during Dodgeball. That's why I had liked TDI. I had been able to show off my true skills. But if I did that for real, then Butch and his goons would beat me up. So I always had to lose, again and again.
So I silently got changed into my gym clothes and went out to the gymnasium. As I passed by the bleachers, a familiar voice wrung out to me.
"So, Cody, what did you do this time?"
I turned towards the voice and my eyes nearly popped out of my head. "Chris? Chris McLean?" I exclaimed in astonishment. I never thought that I would be so happy to see him.
"I'm here too," Chef Hatchet muttered.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, ignoring him.
"Have you seen the news recently?" Chris asked.
"No," I replied.
So Chris explained to me how a show called Terribly Nice Camp was threatening to push Total Drama off the air, and how he was going around to collect the original cast of Total Drama Island, and that Katie, Sadie, Tyler, and Duncan were all waiting on the bus.
"But I can't go," I told him," I have detention for the next three weeks."
Chris sneered. "So?" he wondered.
"Good point," I said, "But how do I get out of it?"
"What is going on here?" barked a loudly obnoxious voice before Chris could say anything, or even open his mouth. I turned and saw, to my horror, the principal and Butch coming towards us. Butch looked very smug, pleased that he was going to get me into even more trouble.
But this didn't faze Chris. He smiled pleasantly and said, "Hello. You must be the principal of this school. Terrific. I've come to pick up Cody here."
"And just who are you?" the principal demanded.
"I'm Chris McLean," he told him, "The host of Total Drama, in which Cody was a participant. You see-"
"Oh! I know that show!" Butch interrupted rudely, "That's that crummy show that's going under! Ha! You guys are such losers!"
"Hey!" came a familiar voice from the door. It was Sadie. Katie, Duncan, and Tyler were with her. "We're not 'going under!'"
"And we're certainly not losers," Duncan added, "I bet the five of us have had more action than you, chunky."
Many kids "oh!"-ed at his statement.
"Enough!" the principal shouted, "If you are not Cody's guardian, then you can't take him. And you are not."
"Well, no," Chris admitted, "But Cody is under a contract. Anyway, I'll make you a deal. Your gym leader takes on Chef Hatchet here in tug-o-war. If we win, we take Cody."
"All right," the principal replied, grinning, "And if we win, Cody will be suspended from school! And receive four more weeks detention!"
"Deal," Chris said.
I gulped, "Hey Chris, can I talk to you for a moment?"
"What's up?"
"I know Chef is strong, but you haven't seen the gym teacher. He's huge."
"Oh come on," Chris said, "He can't be that big."
His words were eaten, however, when the teacher came out. He was so tall he nearly hit his head on the doorframe. "All right," he growled, "Who's my victim?"
Chef stood up. "Ah," he hissed, "Fresh meat."
The principal got a long, thick rope from storage and handed one end to Chef, and the other end to the gym teacher. "All right, begin!"
All the kids in my gym class started cheering for the teacher while Katie, Sadie, Duncan, Tyler and I cheered for Chef Hatchet. The teacher's faced strained as he pulled on the rope with all his might. A vein pulsed in his forehead. Chef wasn't even budging. Chris looked at his watch then looked at Chef.
"Come on, Chef," he called, "We have a schedule to keep here."
"Oh, right," he said. Then, with one mighty tug, he pulled the gym teacher forward, who fell flat on his face, unconscious.
"Game, set, and match, my good sir," Chris said to the principal with a smug grin, "Come on guys. We've still got a lot of people to pick up."
Everyone stared as we left the gym. I couldn't be happier.
Okay, that's it. I'm spent. I noticed that I didn't say it was Cody until Chris said his name, but hopefully you figured it out. Anyway, I don't have the next chapter written down, but that's okay, because I don't really write out my fan fictions before typing them up anymore anyway.
I think next chapter I'll try to squeeze in more people in one chapter so I can get to the good parts faster. I'll bet you're all dying to know what the TNC kids are like! So, read and review, otherwise I will be unmotivated.
