Happy New Year, everyone! I hope everyone had a great Christmas/Hanukkah (or Chanukah)/Kwanzaa/Boxing Day/Apocalypse Survival since the last chapter. As for me, well my Birthday was average and I was sick on Christmas so...yeah. But I appreciate everyone wishing me a Happy Birthday. You guys are awesome, especially if you're still reading this fanfic. Now, on with Chapter 17!

On the Downtown 2 Local Train

The New Team and their unexpected companion and local fan, Christopher, sat in two rows of seats across from each other. Christopher was pointing at a map of the 2 Train line above the opposite side's seats.

"Atlantic Avenue - Barclays Center!" he said the name of their stop excitedly. "That's where we get off."

"Is that near Coney Island?" Mike asked.

"No, but the train that will take us to Coney Island is at that stop."

"Whoa-whoa-whoa! Hold up! I thought you said dis was da fastest way ta Coney Island," Anne Maria interrupted.

"It is," the Total Drama fan replied.

"Wouldn't it be fasta if we took a train dat went straight ta where we're goin'?"

"Well…sometimes that's true, and sometimes it isn't. But, I've been using this train system since I was born, so I know all of the inside secrets that all out-of-towners don't know."

"Oh really? Like what?"

"Well, I know that if you look at the map, that the Q train looks like it will take you to Coney Island the fastest from 34th Street, but I know that the Q train becomes local in Brooklyn, while the B stays express until its last stop, Brighton Beach. Which is why my plan is for us to take the 2 to Atlantic, transfer to the B, take the B to its last stop, then we take the Q the rest of the way."

Chris's plan caused a bit of confusion amongst the team.

"Are you sure that will get us there faster than just taking the Q?" Dakota asked, "It seems like a lot of work."

"Don't worry guys. I know this subway like the back of my hand. I would never steer you guys wrong. In fact, I promise that we're gonna get to Coney Island before the other team, and if we don't then all of the girls on this team can kick me in the kiwis, like most of the ladies on this show like to do."

All of the guys on the New Team winced at the thought of that happening to their new friend. In fact, Mike put a sympathetic hand on Christopher's shoulder.

"I feel so sorry for you if we lose, dude," he said with a worried look on his face.

The Local Fan would have replied, but he was interrupted by a computerized voice.

"This is Nevins Avenue. The next stop is Atlantic Avenue - Barclays Center," the voice said.

"That's our stop, guys," Chris told his new friends as they got ready to disembark from the subway car.

Christopher - *He looks around the confessional with an excited look* "Wow! They're actually letting me do a confessional. Awesome! Anyway, I am totally serious about letting the girls kick me in the kiwis if we don't get there before the other team. Does that make me arrogant? I don't think so. I think it makes me very confident in my knowledge of the subway system." *He crosses his arms and looks confidently at the camera* "…which I am."

*Static*

Dakota - "If we lose this first challenge, I am really gonna enjoy kicking Chris in the kiwis. I hate losing, and I've always wanted to kick the old Chris in his jewels, so it's close enough in my eyes."

On the Downtown Q Local Train

The Old Team was seated on the benches inside the middle car of an 8-car Q train. Everyone was bored, so they tried to entertain themselves in their usual ways.

Noah, who was reading his book, looked up from that book and looked at the electronic map that was over the opposite bench. He saw that the next stop was Church Avenue and that the train was 14 stops away from Coney Island. Seeing this, the Bookworm rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"This is Church Avenue," The electronic voice said.

"Does anyone else find that voice annoying after hearing 13 times since we've got on this train?" he asked his teammates.

"Actually, I think it's pretty cool," Geoff said.

"You think everything is cool, Geoff."

"Yeah, but I think it's really cool!"

"Ugh! Why did this ride have to be so long?!"

"Calm down, Noah," Bridgette told him, "We'll be there before you know it."

"With my intellect, I highly doubt that, Bridgette," he said as he went back to his book.

"Alright, well, what would you like to do to kill time?"

"I'm trying to kill time right now, but I can still feel time going by, exponentially slow."

"The next stop is Beverly Road," the electronic voice said.

"And that stupid voice isn't helping either!" Noah halfway yelled to the speakers in the ceiling.

"Temper, temper Noah," Katie said in a soothing tone as she put her hands on his shoulders, "Besides, I know how we could kill time." A seductive wink followed that statement, which the Bookworm blush and start sweat.

"K-Katie! No, not in a public train with a bunch of strangers," the flustered Know-It-All said hastily.

"Aw, come on. Please?"

"Ohh! Please don't beg, Katie."

At that moment, the Nice Girl touched her cheek with her boyfriend's while her palm was against his other cheek, making Noah's face look squished.

"Pleeeeeeeeeeease?"

"This is Beverly Road," the voice said as the train slowed into the station.

"This is gonna be a really long ride…" Noah droned as the train came to a complete stop.

Katie - *She giggles a little* "I love it when Noah gets all flustered and embarrassed. It's so cute!"

*Static*

Geoff - "Dude! Katie and Noah remind me so much of Duncan and Courtney back in season one. Except Katie is a lot flirtier than Duncan was, and I bet Noah likes it a lot more than Courtney did." *He chuckles then sighs* "Those were the days, bro."

On the Downtown B Express Train

Meanwhile, the members of the New Team were seated on a new train. The B train that they were currently on was leaving the Prospect Park station.

"…the next stop is Church Avenue," said the electronic conductor.

"Only five stops till we get off and get on the Q train, guys," Christopher told his companions.

"That's great, Chris," Zoey said, "but I can't help but wonder where the Old Team is."

"I wouldn't worry, Zoey. They are probably not that far from where we are right now, since they are probably taking a train just like us."

"What makes you say that, Christopher?" Dawn asked.

"Well, riding the rails is the fastest way to get from Manhattan to Coney Island, unless you have a speedboat or something."

Coney Island Beach

Chef Hatchet was sitting in the driving seat of a speedboat that was parked next to a pier in the Atlantic Ocean, on the shoreline of Brooklyn. Sam was sitting in a seat right behind Chef, looking behind the boat.

"I don't think this is safe, Chris!" Sam yelled so that he could be heard by his temporary boss.

"Relax, intern!" Chris said as he stood on the water with skis attached to his feet, "I've seen people water ski on TV. It doesn't look so hard. Punch it, Chef!"

Chef raised a thumbs-up before turning on the engine and moving the acceleration lever so the boat could start moving. Once the boat started moving, so did the rope that connected Chris's handle to the rear of the boat. The Arrogant Host got ready right before the rope went taut and started to pull him on the water. Unfortunately, the rope pulled the Host too hard and too fast making him lose his balance on the water.

"Whoa! Ahh!" Chris yelled as his body was dragged on the ocean surface while he, somehow, continued to hold onto the handle. "Chef! Please! Stop! The boat!"

"Uhh…Chef?" Sam said while he continued to look back at Chris.

"What is it, Gamer Nerd?" Chef asked.

"I think Chris wants you to stop the boat."

"What makes you say that?"

"Because he's yelling, 'Chef! Please! Stop! The boat!'"

"Hmm…then I guess I should stop the boat then, huh?" Chef asked as he continued to hold the accelerator in place.

"Yes, Chef!" the Gamer replied.

Chef responded by pushing the accelerator even more.

"GAH! SLOW! DOWN! CHEF!" Chris yelled.

"Whoops! Thought that was the brake," the Cook said before pulling the accelerator all the way back.

The speedboat slowed down to a complete stop while Chris continued to skip along the water. In fact, the skipping host managed to land on the floor of the boat, between Sam and Chef. While he lied on the floor of the motorboat, Chris breathed in and out rapidly from exhaustion.

"Chef…" he said breathlessly.

"Yes?"

"Return the boat…so we can go…wait for the contestants."

"Aye-aye, captain," Chef said while he gave a salute.

He restarted he engine and started to head back to the pier where they rented the boat from.

On the Downtown B Express Train

The train that the New Team rode on exited a tunnel and the contestants and their traveling companion saw sunlight for the first time since they got on the first train 30 minutes earlier.

"Wow! The train is above ground! That's so awesome!" Brick said excitedly as he looked through the window and saw the trees and houses that they were speeding by.

"Oh no, Brick," Christopher said, "We're not above ground yet, just outside of the tunnel. But we will be going like 30 feet above the streets soon."

"Cool!"

"Wow! You really know your way around dis place, huh?" Anne Maria asked.

"Absolutely! In fact…"

While Anne Maria, Brick, and Christopher continued their conversation, Dakota was looking at her image in her makeup mirror. She continuously stared at her blonde roots in a mixture of relief and disbelief.

"You ok, Dakota?" Zoey asked as she sat down next to her friend.

"Yeah…it's just…I kinda liked being abnormal for a while. I mean, I didn't really like the spiked, green hair, or the horrible speaking skills, or being 20 feet tall, or the tail, but I did like the super strength, the tan skin, and, most of all, the attention that I got from Sam. He really liked Dakotazoid, and now…she's gone."

"Dakota," the Redhead started to reply, "First, Dakotazoid isn't gone. You are Dakotazoid! Even if you aren't a super strong mutant anymore, you are Dakotazoid. Second, you don't have to worry about not having Sam's attention. You've had his attention since the second challenge last season, although he probably didn't have yours at the time."

That comment made Dakota blush a little in embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter what you look like, Dakota. Sam is always gonna have admiration for you. The guy is head-over-heels for you."

"Zoey speaks the truth, Dakota," Dawn interjected.

"Were you eavesdropping on our conversation, Dawn?" the Princess asked.

"I would not consider it eavesdropping when I'm sitting right next to you. Anyway, Zoey is right. I've seen from Sam's aura, even going back to the beginning of last season, that he was and still is completely into you. And I have a feeling that that isn't going to change. Even if something more drastic than you morphing into a 20-foot tall being happens."

Hearing this made Dakota smile as she looked at both of her friends.

"Aww! Thanks, girls! You two are the best!" she said as she wrapped her arms around Zoey and Dawn's shoulders so they could embrace in a group hug.

Meanwhile, the train was stopped at a station.

"The next stop is Kings Highway," the electronic voice said from the speakers before the doors closed.

On the Downtown Q Local Train

"The next stop is Kings Highway."

"Whoo! Only 8 more stops, guys!" Geoff shouted excitedly.

"Like it matters," Noah said from behind his book. "The other team is probably already there, waiting for us."

"Well, we haven't seen the other team in almost an hour," Justin said, "Who knows where they are now?"

"Justin's got a point, Noah," Tyler said, "The New Team could be halfway to Yankee Stadium and not know it for all we know."

"I'm sure the other team is smarter than that, Tyler," Bridgette said.

"I wouldn't say that. They did keep Scott for, like, 6 challenges," Katie pointed out.

The whole team muttered in agreement.

"But, to be fair, we did allow Heather to win the third season after what she did in the first two seasons, eh," Ezekiel said.

Everyone muttered in agreement again.

"Good point, Zeke," Tyler said. However, his words were met with a pout and a turned head. This made the Wannabe Jock frown and look down at his feet.

The rest of the team decided to ignore the exchange between Ezekiel and Tyler and continue the conversation.

"Speaking of Heather," Noah continued, "How epic was that fight between her and Dakota?"

Eva chuckled before saying, "It sure made me laugh. Two spoiled brats fighting over who was more spoiled? Classic!"

Everyone on the team laughed at Eva's statement.

"Wow, Eva!" Noah said as he put his book down, "That has to be the first time you made me genuinely laugh."

"Well, I don't think my joke was as funny as your face, right now," she said pointing to Noah's face which was covered in Katie's kiss marks.

This statement made the Bookworm blush as everyone else laughed again. This made Noah bring his book back up to his face to cover it up again.

"This is Kings Highway," the electronic conductor said as the train slowed down into the station.

"I'm surprised she doesn't want to join and laugh at me," the Bookworm said pointing to one of the speakers that the electronic voice was projecting from.

Katie then wrapped her arms around Noah's shoulders, giggled and said, "I'm sure the computerized train voice is not out to get you, Noah."

"Well, it sure seems-" he began to reply, but stopped in midsentence. He stared out the window toward the train that had stopped right next the one that they were currently on.

"Seems like what, Noah?" his girlfriend asked.

"Isn't that Anne Maria's hair?" the stunned Bookworm asked as he pointed at the window he was staring at.

Katie turned her attention to the window and saw that it was indeed Anne Maria's hair. Not only did she see that, she also saw a few other members of the New Team seated on the train.

"That is Anne Maria! And the rest of the New Team!" she exclaimed as she pointed along with her boyfriend.

This caught the attention of everyone else on the Old Team. Everyone moved from their positions to get a better look out the window before the Q train pulled out of the station.

"Oh crap! That was them!" Justin shouted, "They're on the express train. That means that their train is faster than ours, doesn't it?"

"Yeah," Bridgette said as she looked at the subway map, "but according to the map, the B train's last stop is three stops before Coney Island."

"So, they're probably planning on getting off at that stop, then getting on a Q train instead of just riding the Q straight there," Noah theorized.

"Wow! I guess they are smart," said Katie.

"Maybe, but there is a small flaw in that plan," Noah told her. "If they are able to get on a Q right after they get off the B, then they will definitely get to Coney Island before we do. However, if they don't, then they will probably have to board this Q train. If that happens, then we're pretty much neck and neck."

"Whoa!" Geoff said as he held his head, "That made my brain hurt, dude."

"So, all we can do now is wait?" Tyler asked.

"That's right," the Bookworm answered.

"Ugh! I hate waiting," Eva muttered with her arms crossed.

Meanwhile, the Q train was slowing down to stop at the next station while the B train that the New Team was on passed by.

On the Downtown B Express Train

The Old Team may have noticed them, but the New Team had not noticed that they were noticed. Everyone (that spoke) was still in the middle of a conversation. Zoey, Dakota, and Dawn were talking about how happy they were in their relationships, while B listened to Mike, Anne Maria, Brick, and Christopher talk about common interests.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Christopher said, "You guys got to use a virtual reality machine for two of the challenges? That is awesome! And it also reminds me of a fanfic I read. Heh! So, how was it being all virtual and stuff?"

"It was pretty cool," Mike said, "It was like we were sucked into a video game, which is pretty much what it was."

"For me it was like going to sleep and having a really realistic dream," Brick said.

"I was just about ta say da same exact thing, Brick," Anne Maria interjected.

"I'll have to agree with you two," The MPD Teen said, "It was almost like having dreams about being a wrestler or being in Call of Duty."

"Mike!" the Cadet shouted as he gestured to their companion, "Spoilers!"

"Whoops!"

"Pfft! I don't care about spoilers," Christopher said, "I always spoil myself when it comes to my favorite TV shows. In fact, I always try to watch episodes of Total Drama online before they even air here in the US. Doesn't bother me in the least."

"Wow! Talk about devotion," Brick said.

"I wasn't lying when I said I was a huge fan. However, I'm not as big a fan as Sierra, which I am very thankful for. I don't need any restraining orders against me."

The last comment made everyone laugh before they were interrupted by the electric conductor saying, "This is Sheepshead Bay. The next stop and last stop is Brighton Beach."

"Oh! That's our stop guys. Let's get ready to get off," the Total Drama Fan told his traveling partners as he got up from his seat.

After the train started moving again, everyone on the New Team prepared to get off of the train.

A couple minutes later, the train began to slow into the Brighton Beach station, where they saw a Q train sitting across the platform with the doors open.

"Uh oh…" Christopher said while keeping his concentration on the Q train.

"Uh oh? Why uh oh?" Zoey asked.

"Everyone, once these doors open, I want you to run as fast as you can to that train and get in."

As soon as Christopher's statement ended, the doors opened. As soon as the doors were opened wide enough for him to fit through, Christopher ran through the doors and darted into one of the open doors of the stationed Q train, leaving all of the New Team stunned and confused. This all happened in a matter of seconds. In fact, the New Team members were barely on the platform while their guide was already on the other train.

The Q train's doors started to close when the New Team was only halfway across the platform. By the time they made it to the train, the doors were completely closed. Meanwhile, inside the train, their winded Tour Guide regained his breath after his brief dash.

"Phew! The high school track star's still got it!" Christopher said as he stood up straight again.

Then he turned around and saw that his companions were not standing on the train with him, they were standing right outside the train on the platform.

"Oh, crap in a bucket!" he exclaimed as he went to the door that his friends were tapping and knocking on. [1]

Both sides tried to open the doors up with their hands, but the train started moving. Realizing that opening the door was a futile plan since the train was moving, the Local Fan tried to give his friends one last bit of advice.

"Go to the back!" he tried to yell through the door as he pointed to the rear of the train. "Go to the back!"

Before too long, Christopher was out of sight and the New Team was stuck on the platform.

"Oh no!" Dakota said, "We lost our advantage! Now what?"

"Well, he did say to go to the back," Brick said as he pointed to the end of the platform that was on the opposite side of where the train went. "There's got to be a reason why he told us to go there."

"Well, he's got us dis far," Anne Maria said with a shrug, "Might as well do what he said. But if we still get dere after the Old Team, I call dibs on kickin' his family jewels first."

After that, the team started making their way to the rear end of the platform. At that moment, a second Q train appeared down the track. Unbeknownst to the New Team, their opposing team was already on that train.

On the Downtown Q Local Train

The Old Team was still seated on the train. However, they weren't as relaxed as they were during most of the ride. Everyone was paying close attention to the windows on both sides of the train as they approached the Brighton Beach station.

"This is Brighton Beach," the electronic voice said.

They all kept their attention on the windows as the train slowed into the station. Soon enough, they saw what they were looking for.

"I saw them!" Bridgette said, "And they're…getting in the back of the train?"

"Why would they get on in the back of the train?" Katie asked.

"Maybe they know something that we don't," Justin theorized.

"If that is the case, maybe we should go back there too," Noah concluded as the train started to move again.

Everyone agreed and got up from their seats to go to the doors that separated each train car. However, they all stopped at the door.

"'Riding or moving between cars is prohibited,'" Tyler read on the door.

"Whoa! That's a bummer," Geoff said, "But we have to obey the rules."

Right after he said that, a man walked from the next car into their car through the doors that they were facing.

"'Scuse me," the man said as he made his way past the teenagers.

"Oh, come on! If he can walk through, than so can we," Eva said as she opened the doors and proceeded to walk through. She managed to make it through to the next car with ease.

Tyler was pumped up after seeing this.

"Yeah! Yeah! Extreme!" he yelled before opening the door and running through. However, as soon as he got to the bridge between the subway cars, the train began turning. The momentum from the turn made the Sport-o lean over the rail which was about 35 feet above the ground.

"Tyler!" everyone on the team yelled fearfully.

The momentum continued to push Tyler over the railing as the train slowed into the next station. Tyler's body was leaning over so much that his head was outside the width of the subway cars. He could even see the station's pillars coming towards his exposed head.

"AHHH!" he yelled as the pillar approached his skull at a rapid pace. It would have stuck his head too, if he hadn't been pulled back onto the bridge in the nick of time.

"Whoa! That was close! Thank you so much…Ezekiel?" Tyler said as he saw his hero. "But I thought you weren't talking to me."

"I'm not," the Prairie Boy replied, "But that doesn't mean I'm gonna let you fall off a moving train, eh."

The two friends then exchanged a handshake, before continuing on into the next car. The rest of the team followed while the train was in the station.

Meanwhile, in the rear car, the New Team was seated patiently, unknowing that their rival team was only two subway cars away from them.

Back with the Old Team, they decided to only move between cars when the train was not moving, even though Eva was against that idea.

"I'm sorry, Eva," Bridgette told her, "But we can't risk another incident like that."

"Fine. I'll just go by myself, then," the Muscular Teen said with a shrug.

"Wait, Iron Woman," Noah said, "If you reveal that we're on the same train then we lose the element of surprise, which we may or may not still have."

"Noah's right, guys," Justin said, "we need to keep every advantage that we can over the New Team."

After saying this, Justin received weird stares from everyone on the team.

The Old Team

Eva sighed and said, "Alright, I won't go into the last car. But we should still be as close to the other team as possible, so they don't get too much of a jump on us."

Everyone agreed as they waited for the train to stop again before proceeding to the next car.

"This is West 8th Street - New York Aquarium," the electronic conductor announced.

"Aww! I wish we could go there before we leave," Bridgette said as the team started to change cars.

"Can we worry about being tourists after we finish this challenge?" Noah asked.

"Right, right, sorry."

Meanwhile, the New Team was listening to the electronic voice announcement.

"The next and last stop is Coney Island - Stillwell Avenue."

"Alright guys," Mike said, "Almost time for us to get off."

With that, everyone on the New Team got up from their seats, still unaware that the Old Team was in the next car. The team of Originals tried their best to stay out of the New Team's sight by crouching under the view of the windows as the train approached the last station.

At the Coney Island - Stillwell Avenue Station

Christopher stood at the beginning of the station platform, waiting for his friends' train to get in the station. He had been waiting there patiently since he got off of his train about 5 minutes ago.

"I hope they heard what I said," the New Team's unofficial tour guide said to himself as he saw a Q train approaching the station.

The aforementioned train slowed into the station, thus ending its predetermined route. As the train concluded its trip, Christopher watched each car pass by, looking for the New Team.

Suddenly, the train stopped and he was looking at the final car, which contained his traveling companions. Once the doors opened, the New Team walked out of the car and was once again face to face with their unofficial tour guide.

"Awesome! You guys heard my advice!" Christopher said as his friends walked off the train.

"Yeah, we did. But, why did we have to go to the back?" Mike asked.

"Because that's the car that's closest to the exit here," he answered. The Fan then looked over to his left and saw some familiar faces. "Hey! Isn't that Bridgette, Geoff, Noah, Katie, Justin, Eva, Tyler, and Ezekiel over there?!"

The aforementioned contestants were trying to sneak past the New Team before Christopher called them out.

"Well…so much for surprise," Noah said.

"RUN!" Ezekiel yelled before both teams started to run for the exit.

"Oh man! This is gonna be close," Christopher said before beginning to run behind both teams.

On the corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues

Chris, Chef, and Sam waited in front of a makeshift stage and a finish line with a banner that said "Finish!"

The Host looked at his watch, which had himself on the face with his arms as the minute hand and hour hand.

"What's taking them so long?" he said as he looked up from his personalized watch.

"They should have been here by now," Chef said.

"Look!" Sam said as he pointed across the street to the entrance of the train station.

Both teams were neck and neck as they ran out of the station amid a crowd of people. Unfortunately for both teams, they were facing a "Don't Walk" crosswalk sign and heavy traffic.

"Aw man!" Mike exclaimed, "This is gonna take forever!" Then suddenly, he gasped while making a weird face.

"Zis is nothing for Svetlana!" he or she said after growing longer eyelashes and having lipstick appear on his lips.

Svetlana proceeded to do a flip onto a moving car, and then pushed off with her hands before landing on the top of a moving bus before jumping off and grabbing onto a light pole on the opposite side of the street. She then spun around it a few times before letting go, flipping through the air, and landing on her feet right under the finish line.

This left everyone in a state of shock and amazement. The first one to break the silence was Christopher, who only said, "Whoa…"

Confession Cam

*Static*

Christopher - "I've lived in the city my whole life, and I've never seen anyone, anyone jaywalk like that! That was amazing!"

*Static*

"Pfft! I can do that too," Tyler said as he began to back up. Before anyone could talk him out of doing it, the Wannabe Jock had already started running towards the traffic.

He jumped on top of a moving car before jumping on top of a truck cab. Then, he jumped onto the roof of a moving bus going the opposite direction. Next, he jumped towards a light pole on the opposite side of the street and grabbed onto it. Then, Tyler started to swing his body towards the finish line so he could get some momentum. However, he had too much momentum as he let go of the pole. This momentum sent him into the finish line banner, which reacted like a trampoline, sending him back towards the street.

"Ahh!" the Sport-o yelled as he flew right into the side of a moving bus that barely made it by the street light before it turned red.

As the light turned red, the "Don't Walk" sign changed to a "Walk" sign. This allowed the rest of both teams to safely cross the street. However, the Old Team had to go to the bus that Tyler was stuck on and get him unstuck, while the New Team crossed the finish line.

"The New Team wins the first part of the challenge!" Chris announced right before the Old Team crossed the line while carrying Tyler.

"Whoo! We won the Stanley Cup!" the dazed Wannabe Jock cheered. [2]

This made many of his teammates groan and shake their heads.

"See!" Christopher said as he finished crossing the street and started walking to the New Team, "I told you guys, I'd get you here first."

"You sure did, Chris!" Brick said as he gave him a high-five.

"Your directions were awesome!" Mike said before giving him a fist bump.

The rest of the team thanked their new friend in various ways, while the Old Team looked confused.

"Who the heck is this guy?" Eva asked with half of her unibrow raised.

"That's not important," Chris the Host said, "What is important is the second and main part of this challenge, which is…a Hot Dog Eating Contest!"

"Ohh! So that's why you told them to come to Coney Island," Christopher said in realization.

"That's right, dude with the same name as me. We're having the challenge here at the site of the annual 4th of July Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. I thought it would be a nice tribute."

"Now, before I announce the rules, I have another announcement to make," the Host continued. "Since the New Team won the first of today's challenges, they will get today's Cameo Contestant! Without further adieu, Cameo Contestant, come on down!"

At that moment, one of the original contestants walked out from behind the makeshift stage, towards the current season's contestants. He was currently holding two Nathan's hot dogs in his hand while sipping on a large-sized drink in his other hand.

"It's Total Drama Island winner, Owen!" Chris the Fan announced excitedly.

"Hey guys!" Owen said excitedly, "Great to see ya, again!"

At that moment, Noah smacked himself in the face and said, "We're doomed."

*Commercial Break*

[1] - Yes, I really do say "Crap in a bucket!" I got that from a Youtube video and I cannot stop myself from saying it when something bad happens to me.

[2] - Just a little bit of acknowledgement for the NHL since the lockout has finally ended. Go Rangers!

There you have it! The New Team gets the advantage for part two of the challenge, and boy is it a big advantage! LOL Will Owen guarantee victory for the New Team, or will the Old Team pull a surprise win out of nowhere? Find out in chapter 18!

PS: Thanks to Pabulover123 for the idea of having a hot dog eating contest at Coney Island. Also, the Cover Art contest is still on.
