Author's Note: Hey, just wanna say a couple things quickly. First of all I'm really surprised at how this is turning out; I wanted to just vent some ideas, and I wasn't expecting to get any reader. I'm having quite a bit of fun with this and hopefully it'll continue this way. Secondly I feel kinda bad about getting rid of Eva as soon as she got some development, but my reasoning is that's the way the show works. As soon as a character's storyline is finished, they're gone. I was able to show another side of her, but now it's time to focus on other plotlines. Lastly, a quick warning, there's a brief reference to Twilight in this chapter which could spoil the ending, you've been warned.
"Welcome back to Total Drama Revenge of the Island," Chris announced. "Last week we got to see a few relationships take some twists and turns. Like Duncan and Courtney, who were eager to prove their strengths to each other. Or Geoff as his desperate attempts to impress Bridgette didn't seem to make an impact on her. However, it was Eva's new friendship with Beth that cost her the challenge and sent her packing for home. This week won't be as pushing physically, but you can bet that it'll just as dramatic…if not more."
The camera then switched to Team Winning West. Leshawna was returning with a pile of fruits in her hands. Gwen had just woken up and glanced at Leshawna curiously.
"It took a bit of scouting, but I managed to find something edible here and there," she explained as she tossed a pear to Gwen. "It sure beats Chef's cooking."
Gwen smiled as she took a bite of the fruit, she then added, "Thanks Leshawna."
"Hey, I'm just trying to look out for my teammates," Leshawna said with a shrug. "So, how has giving up men been for you?"
"It's…not easy," Gwen sighed. "Trent is such a nice guy and it really hurts me knowing that he still wants me. Then there's Duncan, just thinking about him gives me shivers; but I know that being with him isn't a good idea."
"There's also Cody," Leshawna added.
Gwen glanced at the boy drooling off the side of his bed. "I don't have feelings for him."
Both girls laughed lightly; then Leshawna said, "I think you're doing the right thing. Trent is a good friend, and he'll get over you. I can't say the same for Duncan, but just don't give him any reason to want you and he'll probably take a hint."
"But when am I gonna get a hint?" Gwen sighed. "As much as I know that it's wrong to be with Duncan, as big as a jerk he is, as much as I know how mad Courtney is at me, I still can't lose the feeling for him."
"Maybe when this is all over you guys can all work something out," Leshawna suggested. "But trust me, if you try that now, this show will tear you all to shreds."
Leshawna's Confessional
I don't know if Chris has something against couples, or if it's just the million dollar prizes that's making people loco, but anything related to Total Drama will destroy your relationship. That's why I had to keep away from Harold, and why it's best for Gwen to keep ignoring the other guys.
Courtney had clearly had a rotten sleep. Bags had formed under her eyes and her steps were slow and lazy. She yelped in pain as a sliver shot into her bare foot. As she tried to pull it out she lost her balance and slammed her hip against the bed. In a fit of rage she screamed and kicked the bed. This only resulted in her hurting her foot even more.
Meanwhile Heather and Duncan were outside. "Please tell me you've got something to report," Heather whispered to Duncan.
"Fine, fine, I did manage to find something out," Duncan said. "Turns out, Al had the same idea as you and is using Katie to spy on you."
"How did you find out?" Heather gasped.
"Wasn't hard; that girl can't keep a secret, she all but announced it," Duncan explained.
Hiding behind the door, Katie gasped; then clamped her hands over her mouth.
"Well we've got to vote her off the next time we lose," Heather declared.
"I thought you wanted Alejandro gone. Change your mind?" Duncan said suggestively.
"No, it's just that…it's just that…uh," Heather stumbled for an explanation. "He's probably prepared for this and will make sure no one votes for him. He won't suspect us voting off his little spy."
"Right, whatever," Duncan scoffed.
When the two weren't looking, Katie frantically scrambled back inside. She quickly found Alejandro.
"You absolutely have got to help," she begged the tall boy. "Heather, she like knows that I've been watching her and stuff. She and Duncan are so totally going to vote me off!"
"And why should I care?" Alejandro scoffed back at her. "My spy isn't very useful now that's she been found out, and you know far too much anyway."
Katie gasped, "You…you…you traitor!"
Katie's Confessional
All this time, Alejandro, has only wanted me as a minion, not a friend. Now they're all going to vote me off. Sadie was right about me, I am brainless. Sadie! Oh no, I've got to apologize to her. If I leave tonight she might hate me for the rest of her life.
The teams arrived at Chef's cabin for the usual routine. However, instead of sitting at her table, Katie instead sidled over to her former BFFF, Sadie.
"Um…Sadie, can I talk to you?" Katie asked nervously.
"What?" sniffed Sadie.
"It's just," Katie began, then she started to sob, "I'm really really really, totally sorry I was so mean to you. You were the bestest femalest friend I ever had in my whole entire life. I should never ever have left you behind."
Sadie was crying too now, "No I was the horrible friend. I shouldn't have been made just because you wanted to be with someone like Justin. I would have done the same thing, but instead I just got mad. That was so super immature of me; I shouldn't have let that ruin our friendship."
"You know, it takes a true friend to admit they were wrong," Katie said.
"Well then you're a truer friend than me," Sadie replied.
"No you're the truest friend ever," Katie said as they embraced each other.
"Let's never fight again," Sadie said.
"I love you, Sadie."
"I love you, Katie."
"Stop," Noah sighed. "You're going to give me diabetes."
"Alright, campers, finish up your breakfast and meet my out by the stage," Chris called.
"What stage?" Lindsay asked.
"Oh, you can't miss it," Chris promised.
Once the campers had eaten what barely qualified as food, they made their way outside. Sure enough, they easily spotted a brightly coloured background and platform. As they approached they saw four podiums sit up on the stage.
"Welcome, welcome to the Total Drama Trivia Show," Chris, in a tacky suit, announced. "For this activity four competitors will have to answer various skill testing questions to win a spectacular prize."
"Prize?" Heather repeated clearly interested.
"That's right," Chris said as Chef unenthusiastically revealed a pile of crates. "For every question you get correct your team will receive one of these crates. You will need to contents to have a shot at winning today's real challenge."
"So, who's going to be participating in this trivia game?" Gwen asked.
"Who better to represent the teams than their captains?" Chris said. "Come on up here, Courtney, Izzy, Noah, and Leshawna."
The four made their way up to the podiums.
"This'll be a piece of cake," Courtney boasted. "I got straight A's on my last report card."
"That's nice," Noah shot back. "But I got straight A+'s."
"Well…I was voted most likely to be a scientist," Courtney shot back.
"I was invited to join Mensa Junior," Noah as he mimed a yawn.
"Only junior?" Courtney retorted.
Leshawna just banged her head against her podium; she sighed, "I'm toast."
"Hey, what does this button do?" Izzy exclaimed; as she pressed it a loud HONK blasted through the area.
"Yes, that's," Chris began but was interrupted by another HONK, "the button that you'll-" HONK "-press when you know-" HONK "-the answer."
"There are four categories," Chris explained, glad that the honking had stopped, "Science, Geography, Literature, and The World's Greatest Host. Each category has three questions. We'll cycle through them and when you know the answer-" HONK "-yes, Izzy, you do that. If you get the answer wrong it can be answered by another contestant. If no one can answer it then no one gets the crate. Now let's begin."
The contestants each got into a ready position, except Izzy who was still busy pressing the button.
"For Science, what is the smallest particle in an atom?" Chris asked.
Izzy immediately pressed her button.
"Izzy," Chris said.
"Yeah?" the redhead asked.
"What's the answer?" Chris sighed.
"The what?" Izzy asked perplexed.
"What is the smallest particle in an atom?" Chris repeated.
"Not a clue," Izzy responded.
"Then could you please refrain from hitting that button?" Chris grumbled. "Does anyone actually know the answer?"
Noah hit his button and answered, "Electron."
"Correct, that's one crate for Team Something South," Chris announced as Chef tossed a crate to Sadie.
"On to the next question, Geography," Chris continued. "What country is Mt. Fuji located in?"
"Too easy," Courtney exclaimed as she hit her button. "Japan."
"Correct," Chris exclaimed. "One crate for Team Evil East."
"Now on to Literature," Chris said. "Romeo was of what house?"
"Montague," Noah said calmly with his finger on his button.
"Two crates for Team Something South!" Chris exclaimed. "Next question, what is my favorite pastime?"
The contestants each looked uncertain about this one. Izzy eagerly slammed her button.
"Yes, Izzy," Chris said.
"Collecting barnacles off of an angry orca whale?" she suggested.
"Uh…no," Chris said.
"Torturing innocent kids," Noah tried.
"Close, but no," Chris said. "No one knows? Then no crate for you!"
Leshawna was looking even more worried now, while Noah and Courtney eyed each other challengingly.
"Science again; what is the uncommon fourth state of matter?" Chris asked.
Izzy once again was eager to unleash another HONK.
"Yes, Izzy," said Chris clearly not expecting anything from her.
"Um…hold on…I had it," she muttered. "Nope, don't got it."
"What a surprise," Chris said as he rolled his eyes.
Courtney answered next, "Plasma!"
"That's two points for Team Evil East," Chris exclaimed.
"I am not letting those two hog all the crates," Leshawna declared to herself.
Chris began, "What—"
He was cut off, this time by Leshawna's HONK.
"Whatever the question is, I got it," she said.
"What is the capital of Nunavut?" Chris asked.
"Aw, jeez," Leshawan sighed, clearly nervous.
"Alaska!" called out Duncan.
"Alaska," Leshawna answered, then, "Alaska?"
"Can't believe she fell for that," Duncan said smugly.
"Iqaluit," Noah answered matter-of-factly.
"Team Something South pull ahead with three crates," Chris announced. "Now on to Literature again, who is the protagonist of Moby Dick?"
Again, it was Izzy who slammed down her button.
"Do you actually know this time, Izzy?" Chris sighed.
"I'm pretty sure I do," she replied. "Let's the protagonist…hm…well, I'm pretty sure it's male."
"Ishmael is correct," Chris said. "Score one for Team Nutty North. Now, let's see if any of you know anything about me. What is the name of my wife?"
Leshawna was first to push her button as she declared, "Without a doubt, you do not have a wife."
"You don't have to rub it in," Chris mumbled, then louder, "We're reached the final four questions. Everyone has at least one crate. Let's see how this turns out. What is the only mammal that lays eggs?"
"Platypus!" Both Noah and Courtney cried simultaneously.
"A tie?" Chris remarked. "Well I guess that means that neither of you get a crate.
The two smartest competitors shot each other murderous glances.
"What is the largest country in the world?" Chris continued.
"Russia!" Courtney was able to answer before Noah.
"What is the name of Edward and Bella's baby?"
Both Courtney and Noah looked shocked by this question.
"Ha ha, I got this!" Leshawna cheered. "Renessme!'
She received many disbelieving stares.
"What? It's a good book," Leshawna defended.
Leshawna's Confessional
Don't judge me. It's a good book!
"And now for the final question," Chris said with a smug grin. "I may be the best host in the world, but there was one moron who rejected the offer to play my role. You know her as Blaineley, but what is her real full name?"
Izzy was first to HONK.
"Izzy, do you not understand the concept of that button?" Chris sighed. "You push it when you know the answer. Know the answer."
"Wait a minute, I know this," Geoff gasped from the audience as he began scribbling a note.
He tossed it up to Izzy who answered, "Mildred Stacy Andrews O'Halloran!"
"Point goes to Team Nutty North!" Chris exclaimed. "That concludes part one of the challenge. Why don't you open up your prizes now?"
Heather, Duncan, and Alejandro all began to pry open the boxes.
"Glitter glue?" Heather remarked.
"Feathers?" Alejandro questioned.
"A block of wood?" Duncan wasn't even sure how to respond to his prize.
"That's right," Chris said. "For this challenge you'll be making good old fashioned arts and crafts."
"And what?" Courtney asked. "No killer bears, or deadly lava to make things more interesting?"
"Hey, do you think that I have a magic hole full of infinite money?" Chris said. "Well…it's not working right now, so we've had to cut some luxuries."
Beth and Sadie opened up their three crates. They found string, beads, and jewels. Gwen and Cody opened their crates to find a tube of milky white glue and old macaroni.
"How come they get the sparkling stuff, and we just get the boring kind?" Sierra pouted.
"Hey, the plain regular glue may not be as showy as it's glittery rival, but it's twice as reliable," Cody defended.
Gwen just rolled her eyes. Lastly Bridgette and Geoff found some yarn and some pipe-cleaners.
"Alright, get to work on those crafts," Chris ordered. "I'll be judging them after an hour and the team that fails the hardest will have to send someone home."
The teams immediately began discussing what they should make.
"I think these things would be perfect for a friendship bracelet," Beth said as she examined their art supplies.
"Ooh, can we, like, dedicate to Katie, the best friend in the world?" Sadie suggested.
"Oh, that's so sweet," Katie, who preferred to avoid her team, replied. "I'm so lucky to have a super friend like you."
"Whatever," Noah said.
"I've got an idea that can't fail," Sierra exclaimed to her team as she began working with the supplies.
"Just leave this to me," Izzy said to her team. "I once had to escape from a cell using just string and sticks. This should be a piece of cake compared."
"Actually I have a better idea," Lindsay interrupted, yet no one paid her any attention. "Hey, listen to me! I've got an idea that is so much better. Pay attention to me!"
When no one looked her way she stormed off.
Lindsay's Confessional
For some reason they're not listening to me. My idea will win us this, but they still don't respect me. I've got to force them to see things my way. This calls for something drastic.
"Alright, I've got an idea, everyone," Courtney declared.
"What is it, a crown for Her Majesty?" Duncan mocked.
"Shut up, Duncan!" Courtney snapped.
"My wish is your command, my lady," Duncan continued.
"I said, 'Shut up.'" Courtney snarled.
"There's no need for anger," Alejandro tried to sooth Courtney. "Let's just all get along."
"Alejandro's right," Heather agreed.
That really bugged Courtney. Her grip tightened on the tube of glue she was holding. A glob of glittering blue shot straight into Heather's eye.
"You. Little. Brat!" Heather hissed as she reached for the nearest tube.
Soon Courtney was covered in neon pink.
"That's a good look for you," Duncan laughed.
Courtney looked to be steaming as she unscrewed a tube of purple and dumped it all over Duncan. From there it all went to chaos. Glitter glue was shot all over the place. Alejandro ended up with feathers stuck all of him and the block of wood had fallen to the ground and cracked in half.
"Time's up," Chris announced was the hour had ended. "Let's take a look at your masterpieces."
Before he could continue Lindsay charged back wielding an axe. With a swing she stuck it through Izzy's sculpture made of yarn and pipe-cleaners.
"What was that for?" snapped Bridgette.
"That's what you get for not listening to me," sniffed Lindsay.
"Hm, an axe stuck in a mound of yarn," Chris examined. "I think it, very abstract."
"But the axe wasn't one of their supplies," Noah protested. "Isn't that against the rules?"
"It probably should be, "Chris replied. "But since it was you who pointed that out I'm going to choose to ignore it."
He then moved onto Sierra who had sculpted a perfect model of Chris's head out of macaroni.
"Gorgeous," Chris exclaimed.
He then moved on to Sadie and Beth who presented a small bracelet. Using beads shaped like letters they spelled out "Katie."
"Eh, very cheesy," Chris sighed. "You better hope that the next team screwed up massively because I don't think you could afford to lose another member."
However Chris was shocked to see Team Evil East. Each of them was a disaster of sparkling glue and feathers. The wood lay splintered on the ground.
"Really, guys?" Chris chided. "You had three whole crates and this was all you could come up with? Team Something South today is your lucky day because your art doesn't suck the worse. As for Evil East, I'll be seeing you tonight."
Courtney's Confessional
Who does that Heather think she is? Agreeing with Alejandro like she's his puppet, that's my job. Not being his puppet, that is…I mean I agree with him. Because I'm his girlfriend. Which is different from puppet.
Katie's Confessional
I don't even care if they vote for me; I'm just glad that I have my BFFF back. Sorry Chris, this is one friendship you won't be ruining.
The members of Team Evil East were all staring at each other furiously.
"Well, let's get this over with," Chris said as he pulled his plate with four marshmallows. "Which one of you is the most blamed tonight? The first marshmallow goes to…Duncan."
The boy caught his marshmallow then shot a wink at Courtney.
"Also safe are," Chris continued. "Courtney and...Alejandro."
Heather and Katie were the last two remaining. Heather tried to remain stoic, yet her knees knocking gave away her true fear.
"And the final marshmallow," Chris began, "goes to…Heather!"
Heather grabbed her marshmallow, then smiled victorious at the rest of her teammates. Only Alejandro returned the smile.
As Katie made her way down the Dock of Shame Chris asked, "Katie any parting words for your team?"
"They're like so not my team," Katie scoffed. "The only team I need is the one with my BFFF, Sadie. If you're listening Sadie, like, I totally wish you the most luck possible."
With that she boarded the Boat of Losers and disappeared into the night.
"So that wraps up another episode of Total Drama Revenge of the Island," Chris concluded. "Who will go home next? Which relationship will I destroy? Find out soon."
Courtney exited her cabin angrily.
"Something wrong, princess?" Duncan asked as he followed her.
Courtney was too focused on her current thought that she didn't snap back at Duncan.
"Look at what I found under my bed," she declared as she showed the rocks from Boney Island. "That jerk, Justin, must have left them there."
She then tossed them into the water and shouted, "Good-bye, curse!"
The rocks bounced along the water until they hit a shark. The fish angrily swam towards the island.
"Looks like you made him mad," Duncan laughed.
"Why do I care? He can't walk on land," Courtney said.
To her surprise, the shark did come up onto land and began chasing after her.
"Close the door, close the door!" she cried as she ran inside.
