I'm back with another chapter for you guys! Luckily, this chapter took less than 25 days, mostly because a lot of the things that I was dealing with while writing ch. 13 were taken care of. WHOO! Also, now that those things are taken care of, you guys can expect uploads that are less than a month until December. Hopefully, by then I'll be up to chapter 19, but enough of the future, it's time for chapter 14! Enjoy!

The camera points at Chris as he is seated in his trailer that is trailing the Total Drama Double-Decker and the pickup that's hauling the trailer.

"Last time on Total Drama Avengeance!" the Host started as the picture changed to show the events of the previous episode as Chris described them.

"We made a stop in a field in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and the contestants played a few rounds of Call of Duty Search and Destroy!" (Shows the field with the contestants seated in the Total Drama Virtual Reality Machine and shooting at each other)

"Well, most of the contestants, anyway…" (Shows Bridgette and Dawn not participating in the challenge)

"…Luckily, we had Courtney to fill the gap on the New Team." (Shows Courtney with the rest of the New Team)

"The game was intense! Especially the last round after the teams split the wins in the first two rounds." (Shows some footage from the first two rounds)

"The last round really heated up around the last minute, as Courtney and Brick…" (Shows Courtney and Brick shooting and ducking)

"…got into a shootout with Katie and Tyler…" (Shows Tyler and Katie shooting back)

"…until Geoff and Zoey crashed the party, Ha-Ha! Man, was that awesome!" (Shows Zoey chasing and shooting Katie, Tyler, and finally Brick while she was shot by him)

"And Noah pulled an even more awesome move by climbing the crane and making the winning kill from like 30 feet in the air!" (Shows Noah shooting Courtney to win the challenge)

"That sent the New Team to their third elimination ceremony in a row, where they finally sent Scott packing…" (Shows Dawn getting the last marshmallow as opposed to Scott)

"…but he definitely made his presence felt after a harsh scene with Anne Maria…" (Shows Scott yelling at Anne Maria before leaving in the Copter of Shame)

"…and Dawn!" (Shows Scott talking down to Dawn and making her run away in tears.)

Camera shows Chris on a massage table while Sam, regretfully, massages the Host's back.

"Yep," Chris said to the camera, "A lot happened in that last episode. So much drama! It gave me tension in my back." He then looked back at Sam and said, "Make sure to get all the knots out, would ya?"

Sam rolled his eyes and reluctantly said, "Yes, sir."

The Host then sighed contently as his intern continued the massage. "Will the Old Team continue its dominance? Will Anne Maria and Dawn be able to look past Scott's verbal abuse? And will there be any Cameo Contestants in this episode? Find out, right now on…"

"Total!"

"Drama!"

"Avengeance!"

*Theme Song*

The Bottom Deck

It was around 9 AM and most of the contestants on the Old Team were up and eating breakfast, enjoying their third trip in a row in the Bottom Deck. However, there was a slight problem.

"I saw it first, Katie!"

"No, I saw it first, Sadie!"

The former BFFFLs were having a tug of war, of sorts, with a box of Fruity Pebbles. Noah was trying to pull Katie away while Ezekiel was trying to pull Sadie away.

"Ladies, please," Zeke said, "It's just a box of cereal!"

"It's not just cereal," Sadie said, "Fruity Pebbles is my favoritest cereal in the world!"

"They're my favoritest cereal in the world too, Sadie!" said Katie.

"Yeah…because I shared some of mine with you, in Grade One!"

"Girls," Noah started, "First of all, 'favoritest' is not a word, and secondly, if you two keep pulling on the box, it's gonna-"

RIIIIIP!

The cardboard box of cereal tore in two and the plastic bag of cereal fell to the floor of the bus, unharmed. That is, until Katie and Sadie grabbed the bag at the same time.

"Please don't-" was all Noah could say before both girls pulled on the bag, making it tear open and spill all of the cereal onto the floor.

"Look at what you did!" both of them yelled at the other before turning on their heels and retreating to 'their' side of the bus.

After that, Noah and Ezekiel converged at the epicenter of the cereal.

"We have got to get those two to makeup," the Bookworm told the Homeschooled Teen who was looking up in the cereal cabinet.

"Maybe we should have told them that there was another box of-"

Noah put his hand over his mouth so Katie and Sadie couldn't hear what he was about to say.

"Unless you want to see Round 2 of this fight, I wouldn't say that."

"It was pretty entertaining the first time," Justin said from the closest table, "I wouldn't mind seeing another round."

Noah narrowed his eyes at Justin and said, "You wouldn't dare…"

The Model responded by cupping his hands around his mouth and yelling out, "Hey! Is that another box of Fruity Pebbles?!"

"MIIIIIIIIIINE!"

The Top Deck

Everyone on the New Team was already awake. However, they weren't as happy as the Old Team was. Not just because of their usual riding conditions or their current losing streak. They were all unhappy because of the results of Scott's elimination, namely Anne Maria, who was sitting in the rearmost seat on the deck with her face in her knees.

The other 6 on the team just looked at her as they contemplated what to do.

"We have to help her somehow," Brick whispered to the rest of the team.

"I know, but how?" Zoey replied.

Dakota looked at Zoey and Mike and got an idea. "Maybe Vito should pay her a little visit," she said.

"What?!" Zoey and Mike quietly exclaimed simultaneously.

"Think about it," Dakota told them, "She usually happy when he's around."

"Well, yeah," Mike said, "But I don't think another guy hitting on her, right after her heart was broken, is such a good idea."

Dakota thought about it for a second before she sighed, frustrated. "You're right."

"I think that Brick should talk to her," Dawn said as she meditated in her seat.

"Huh? Me?" Brick pointed to himself.

"You were the one she hugged last night. So, she knows that you were the one consoling her and that you care about her."

The Cadet nodded his head in agreement and said, "Ok, I'll do it, even though I'm not sure what to say to her."

"Just say what comes natural, Brick."

Brick smiled, stood up, and saluted Dawn while saying, "Ma'am. Yes, ma'am."

He started to walk towards the back of the bus while it was moving at roughly 50 mph, with no roof above his head. You can imagine how treacherous that can be, but Brick managed to stay calm as he moved slowly by every row of chairs. When he finally got to the last row, where Anne Maria was sitting, he carefully shifted his weight onto the seat next to her without falling off the bus.

Anne Maria stayed in her fetal position on the seat, even after Brick sat down next to her. So, either she knew that someone sat down next to her and she didn't want to acknowledge them, or she was so deep in thought or in such a deep sleep that she couldn't acknowledge. Either way, Brick could tell that she was still emotional over last night's events.

"Uhh…Good Morning, Anne Maria," said Brick.

"Mornin'," she replied, even though it was muffled by her legs.

"Are you feeling any better?"

"No…"

"Would you feel better if you talked with me?"

"…Maybe." The sad Jersey Girl then brought her legs down and put her feet on the floor, so that her tearstained face was exposed.

Luckily, Brick always carries tissues in his duffle bag, which he always brings with him when traveling. He dug into his bag, pulled out a pack of tissues and opened them up. However, he forgot about the wind that was blowing through the deck with the bus going 50 mph, so all but one tissue flew off of the deck and onto the windshield of a vehicle that was right behind the bus.

The vehicle swerved out of control and backed up into a thick tree, which brought it to a complete stop.

"Sorry!" Brick yelled to the driver after watching the accident.

He proceeded to give Anne Maria the one tissue he was able to keep. She wiped off the mascara that ran while she cried along with some of her spray tan, and blew her nose onto the tissue.

"Thanks," she said after she was finished.

"No problem. I am always willing to help a lady in need," the Cadet replied with a salute.

"Like last night?"

"Exactly! I want to help you however I can, Anne Maria."

She gave him a small smile and said, "That's sweet Brick," before frowning and looking down at her feet. "But I dunno if anythin' can cheer me up after what Scott did ta me."

"Just forget about Scott. He's just a jerk and couldn't handle getting eliminated this early like a man, like I did last season."

"Oh yeah! I remember dat!"

"Well, you should. You did jump into the Hurl of Shame with me and that giant fake diamond."

Anne Maria blushed in embarrassment. "I still can't believe I kicked myself off da show for some cheap cubic zirconia."

Brick patted her shoulder once again and said, "It's alright, Anne Maria. At least you can redeem yourself this season, unlike Scott. This show is called, 'Total Drama Avengeance,' for a reason, you know."

She smiled and said, "You know what? You're right Brick! I can redeem myself! Not just from last season, but from being Scott's lackey!"

"That's the spirit!" The Cadet exclaimed with a salute which Anne Maria responded to with a giggle and a salute of her own.

Anne Maria - "I had Brick pegged all wrong! He's not a stiff. He's a carin', sweet, kindhearted gentleman. And he's not too bad on da eyes eitha'. Who needs Scott or Vito when I can have Brick?"

*Static*

Brick - *He has his arms crossed while he smiles at the camera* "I think I did pretty well in cheering up Anne Maria." *He sighs contently* "Yep! I think she's gonna be ok."

*Static*

Top Deck

Brick and Anne Maria continued to talk by themselves while the rest of the team conversed. Eventually, the bus drove under a sign that said, "Boston - 20."

"Hey! That sign said that we're 20 miles from Boston! That must be where we're headed!" Brick exclaimed.

"You are correct, sir!" Chris announced over the bus's PA system. "We are headed to Boston, Massachusetts for your seventh challenge of the season!"

"Oh man! I can just imagine all of the historic landmarks from the American Revolution we could have this challenge at! Ol' Ironsides, Boston Harbor, the place where Paul Revere took his ride…"

Bottom Deck

"…Harvard University, Boston College, MIT…" Noah listed.

"…The TD Garden, or Fenway Park! Awesome!" Tyler finished.

Chris's Trailer

Chris watched and listened to the three guys list the landmarks that they would like to have the challenge at. He had a shocked look on his face as he pressed the intercom so that the contestants could hear his voice once again.

"Uhh…wow! I think you three just listed every single landmark in Boston, and a few colleges that I've never heard of. I won't tell you where you guys are going just yet, but I will tell you that one of you listed it."

"Which one of us?" Brick, Noah, and Tyler asked at the same time.

"You'll see in about 30 minutes. McLean out!"

He took his finger off the button, leaned back in his chair, and chuckled.

"I love messing with the contestants' heads," he said out loud.

"Umm, Chris. You know I'm right here, right?" Sam asked from behind Chris's chair.

Hearing Sam's voice so suddenly made Chris lean too far back on his chair and fall to the floor.

"Ow!" the Host said before lifting a fifty dollar bill towards Sam. "You didn't hear or see that."

The Gamer took the fifty and said, "Yes sir!"

30 Minutes Later

"YES! EXTREME!" Tyler yelled out as everyone got off of the bus and saw the site of their next challenge.

"You were right, Tyler," Chris said as he walked out of his trailer with Chef and Sam right behind him, "This challenge is going to be inside of Fenway Park, the home of the infamous Boston Red Sox!"

Tyler had his hand open towards Brick and Noah, who both placed a Canadian $5 bill in his open hand.

"I should have known that Chris wouldn't have a challenge in a school," Noah muttered.

"Now, let's go inside this storied stadium and I'll explain today's challenge to you guys," Chris said as he began to walk inside, with all 16 remaining contestants, right behind him.

"Oh, man," Tyler said, "This is gonna be so-"

Inside Plexiglas™ Dome in Outfield

"-awesome?"

All of the contestants were confused as they entered a Plexiglas™ rectangular prism that was about 30 feet high, 30 feet wide, and 50 feet long, and placed in left field against the huge, green wall, known as the Green Monster. The side that was against the Green Monster did not have Plexiglas™ wall, so the leftfield wall took place of the empty side. The ground on the field within the dome was covered up with hardwood that had lines painted on it to resemble a court.

"I know what you guys are wondering," Chris said as he looked at the confused contestants, "No, this isn't the same Plexiglas™ rectangular dome from the dodgeball challenge in season one, but it is very similar, isn't it?"

"Sure is. I felt some freaky déjà vu vibes coming from this thing," Noah muttered.

"You and me both, dude," Tyler said to Noah before shuddering to his memories from that challenge.

"However," the Host continued, "while the setting is similar, today's challenge is not gonna be another dodgeball challenge."

Many of the contestants breathed sighs of relief after hearing that.

"It's actually gonna be…racquetball!"

This announcement earned a few confused/worried looks from the contestants.

"Before I explain the rules of the challenge, let's bring out the two Cameo Contestants that will be participating with the New Team so both teams will be even-steven!"

The host pulled out his bullhorn and pointed it outside of the cube. "Come on out girls!" He said into it while his attention was turned towards the dugout on the third base line.

Soon enough, the contestants heard a couple of bickering voices coming out of the dugout.

"Those voices sound very familiar," Bridgette noted.

Eva's eyes widened when she realized who those voices belonged to. She slapped her forehead and said, "Oh no! Not these two."

The camera showed the feet of the two females as they entered the Plexiglas™ cube before slowly panning up to reveal the faces of Heather and Gwen.

"Oh yes, Eva, these two!" Chris said as he stood by the Cameo Contestants, "Gwen and Heather are gonna take part in this challenge with the New Team!"

"Ugh!" Heather said, "it's bad enough that I had to ride a helicopter with this loser," she pointed towards Gwen, "Now I have to team with these losers?" She pointed at the New Team.

"Hey! We're not losers," Brick retorted, "Even though we're down 4 teammates, and none of us won last season, and we haven't won the last three challenges…uh…where was I going with this?"

"I got dis, Brick," Anne Maria said as she walked in front Brick and faced Heather, "What Brick was tryin' ta say was, our losin' days are ova, startin' wit dis challenge!"

"That's the spirit, Anne Maria!" Zoey said. The Jersey Girl replied with a smile.

Confession Cam

*Static*

Zoey - "I know that Anne Maria and I usually argue with each other and physically fight on occasion…but after the last elimination ceremony, I could tell that she was emotionally devastated by Scott. When I saw her like that, all of that bad blood just went away and I just wanted to help her."

*Static*

Anne Maria - "Ya know…Red isn't dat bad, once you get past all the Goody-Goody stuff."

*Static*

"Alright, now that Gwen and Heather have joined us, I can explain the challenge to everyone," Chris said to both teams. "Like I said before, the challenge is racquetball, or to be more specific, a series of racquetball matches!"

Some of the contestants had a confused look on their faces as Chris continued to explain.

"For those of you who don't know what racquetball is, it is like a combination of tennis and handball."

Some of the contestants were still confused.

"And if you still don't know what racquetball is, Sam and Chef are about to demonstrate," the Host said before he gestured to Chef Hatchet and Sam who were holding racquetball racquets.

Confession Cam

*Static*

Gwen - "Ugh, that Sam guy. I still have nightmares about being trapped in that stinking box with his fart cannon of a butt. Those blasts could have given Owen a run for his money."

*Static*

Chef, who was standing in a rectangular box in the middle of the court, pulled a ball out of his apron pocket and bounced it a couple times before hitting it with the racquet towards the Green Monster wall.

"The server serves the ball from the service zone towards the play wall, in this case the famed Green Monster, aiming the ball towards the opponent on the back half of the court and making sure that the ball hits the floor after passing the service line and the short line, a.k.a. the long lines that make up the service zone."

The ball bounced on the floor, after passing the service zone completely, and was headed towards Sam, who was in the middle of the receiving zone.

"The receiver must stand in the middle of the receiving zone when the ball is being served. In order for the return to be good, the ball must hit the play wall before it hits any other surface. After the ball is returned correctly, the ball is completely in play."

Sam swung his racquet and hit the ball back towards the play wall.

"When the ball is in play, players, or teams, must alternate hits to continue the rally. The rally ends when one of the players either misses their shot, hits the ball at the floor before the play wall, or hits a killshot, which is when the ball is hit towards the point where the floor and the play wall meet and the ball rolls on the floor."

Chef proceeded to hit a killshot, which made a loud popping sound as it hit the play wall and the floor at the same time.

"Oh darn," Sam flatly said in disappointment.

"Since the server ended the rally without making an error," Chris continued, "the server gets a point. Remember, only the server can get points when he/she ends the rally successfully. If the receiving player successfully ends the rally, they don't get a point, but they get to serve the next rally with the previous server becoming the receiver. Those are all the basic rules of racquetball. Any questions?"

Most of the contestants stared incredulously at Chris with their mouths agape. Suddenly, Gwen raised her hand.

"Yes, Gwen?"

"Yeah…could we get a less complicated challenge?" she asked.

Many of the other contestants made sounds of agreement.

The Host chuckled at the question before answering. "If you think the rules of racquetball are complicated, you're gonna have a bad time. Ha-ha! South Park humor."

Confession Cam

Noah - "I now officially hate that internet meme…and South Park."

*Static*

"Now, before we start the challenge, you guys need to do a couple things," Chris said as he pointed to the contestants. "Since there are 9 people on both teams, you guys are gonna play 5 matches. Four doubles matches and 1 singles match. You guys get to decide who the doubles pairings are gonna be, because I'm too lazy to do it this time. So, decide on."

Once Chris said this, both teams received a clipboard with a piece of paper that said, "List Doubles Teams and Single Player," on the top. The teams then got into huddles.

Old Team Huddle

"I think it would be best if we placed two people who have great chemistry in the doubles pairings," Noah said, "So, I think the teams should be Geoff and Bridgette, Tyler and Ezekiel, Katie and I, and Justin and Sadie, thus leaving Eva as the single player."

Almost everyone on the team agreed with Noah, but the one that didn't voiced his grievance.

"No!" Justin shouted, "I have way more chemistry with Eva than I do with Sadie!"

"What?!" Sadie asked in a shocked tone.

"Heh?" Eva objected.

"Sure, Eva," the Model continued, "Remember, that thing that we agreed on back in Cleveland?"

The Female Bodybuilder raised half of her unibrow at Justin and said, "I never agreed to anything with you."

"Well that settles that," Noah said after he finished writing on the paper. He started to walk towards Chris with the clipboard.

"No!" Justin screamed out while reaching out with his hand. As he continued to pose dramatically, Sadie gave him a look of disbelief.

Sadie - "Hmm…Justin looked pretty disappointed to be paired with me." *She started to think for a bit* "Pfft! Nah! I'm sure he was just joking. I mean, like, who would be willing to compete with Eva in a sports challenge?" *She started to laugh before starting to slow down and lose volume*

*Static*

New Team's Huddle

Heather held the clipboard and wrote down what she thinks the teams should be, without telling the rest of the team.

"Uhh…you gonna tell us what you're writing there, Heather?" Zoey asked.

"I'm writing down the teams. Duh!" She replied.

"Shouldn't we discuss the teams before we make them?" Mike asked.

The Queen Bee scoffed and said, "As if I'm gonna let you losers pair me up with one of you. That's why I'm gonna be the single player."

"Are you sure you want to do that, Heather?" Dawn asked.

"Uhh…yeah! Why wouldn't I be sure, weird pale girl?"

"That's original," Gwen said with a roll of her eyes.

"I only ask because I overheard the other team and I'm pretty sure Eva will be playing against you," the Moonchild replied.

Heather widened her eyes and turned her attention towards Eva, who was glaring directly at Heather and punching her own palm.

The Queen Bee gulped, crossed her name out and said, "On second thought, I don't mind playing in a pair." She then shoved the clipboard in Mike's hands and said, "Here! You decide the teams. Just don't pair me up with Weird Goth Girl."

Mike chuckled nervously and said, "I wouldn't dream of doing that, Heather." He then proceeded to look around the circle of teammates to help decide who would play in a pair or by themselves. After coming to a consensus, he started writing down pairs and the single player. When he was done, he showed the paper to rest of the team.

"I think this lineup would be a good balance of athleticism for all 5 rounds," Mike explained himself.

The rest of the team looked at the list and most of them thought they were all good decisions. Heather, however, looked the list over and saw who she was paired up with and instantly made a face of disgust.

"Something wrong, Heather?" the MPD teen asked, "If you want, I can pair you with someone else."

She opened her mouth to answer, but she looked at the rest of the team. "Ugh! It's not like I can do any better than her," she thought to herself.

The Queen Bee openly sighed and said, "Don't bother. It's not like I can have a better partner."

"Alright then, I'll just take this to Chris then," Mike said as he started to walk away with the clipboard in hand.

Mike - "Is it just me, or did it seem like Heather just gave someone a compliment?"

*Static*

Chris took both teams' lineups and looked them over himself. After seeing the pairings and who they will play against, he chuckled.

"This should be a good challenge," he said. The Host turned his attention to the teams and started announcing once again. "Alright teams, since most of you aren't really dressed properly for this challenge," he takes glances at Heather, Anne Maria, Geoff and Bridgette, "we have provided you guys with team uniforms. New Team, you guys will use the locker room in the third base dugout to change, while the Old Team will use the locker room in the first base dugout."

"Wait," Gwen said, "The girls and the guys are gonna change in the same place?"

"There are bathrooms in the dugouts if you wish to use them. Or you could change out in the open, but I can't guarantee that there won't be camera footage of it. Ha-ha!"

The Goth Girl rolled her eyes at the joke as she followed her team to the dugout.

Once both teams got into their respective dugouts, Chris turned his attention towards the camera.

"Since these guys are gonna take a while to change, we'll take a commercial break. When we come back, we'll show all of the juicy stuff that went on in the dugouts. Until then, here are some questions for you viewers to think about. Who did Mike pair everyone on the team with? Can Heather coexist with her partner? And who is gonna have to face Eva if we get to the Single round? Find out when we come back to…"

"Total!"

"Drama!"

"Avengeance!"

There you go! If any of the readers were confused by the racquetball rules, you can look for a video on Youtube. That's how I learned the rules since I have never played a match of racquetball in my life. So, now that I left you guys with a cliffhanger, tell me what you think the New Team's lineup is for the challenge. Remember, there's 4 pairs and one single, and Mike made them. Leave your guess in your review and if you're right, I'll mention you in the footer Author's Note.

P.S.: Speaking of contests, the poll is still open and so is the cover art contest. Still no entries, and I'm halfway to chapter 30. I know there are artists somewhere on this website and hopefully they read this. Please enter! Chapter 15 should be uploaded in a couple weeks, give or take. Cya guys then!
