Aceman - Thanks for the ideas. I couldn't think of any preview lines for this chapter when I finished the last one, so I just skipped it. Seeing how people seem to like the previews, I'll make sure to keep them up now.
Shadow - Don't worry, Duncan's got his pals Geoff and DJ at the aftermath to stick by his side. We might revisit DxC later in the season, but that's a ways away.
Author's Note - Thanks for the continued support guys! I'll try to keep this going until it's done. Off topic, looks like the season 4 characters have finally been finalized and revealed. Looks like it'll be an interesting season. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.
Episode 9 - Can't Help Falling in Louvre
"Last time, on Total Drama! The contestants experienced every pitfall Peru could put forward. They visited some ancient landmarks, hung out with the locals, and enjoyed the company of many of the Amazon's indigenous creatures! Some feelings were hurt and plenty of weird things happened. Team Chris snatched up a victory, and Duncan was sent flying during our most dramatic elimination ceremony yet! Never saw that coming. Thirteen contestants, one million dollars, and more exotic locales to destroy, right here, on Total, Drama, World Tour!"
(Theme Music)
Off the jumbo jet goes, nearing the next exciting destination.
In economy class, Lindsay is preparing her teammates for the next challenge. "All right team! We got crazy close to winning the last challenge, but we weren't close enough! Today, things are going to be different! We'll be the champions! We'll be the ones lounging in first class! We're going to crush the other teams into the dust!
Ezekiel and Bridgette cheer. "Yeah!" "Woo hoo!"
Lindsay basks in the cheers before continuing. "Now, how are we going to do all that? Any ideas?" Bridgette facepalms.
Ezekiel is still excited. "Try our hardest and never give up, eh!"
"Excellent idea Zane! Anything else?"
Bridgette has her own idea. "Let's wait until we know what the challenge is before we make some huge plan."
Lindsay is pleased. "Good idea Brittany. Next team meeting will be held immediately after Chris announces the challenge! Meeting adjourned, go Victory!"
On the other side of the room, Heather scoffed to her teammates. "Why are they even trying anymore? They've already lost their strongest players, and they've lost most of the challenges so far. They don't stand a chance."
Courtney and Gwen are sitting on opposite sides of the bench, defiantly ignoring each other and their teammates. Cody is locked in one of Sierra's prison grips, more concerned with finding a way to escape then anything else. The fangirl is the only one who notices Heather's words. "I wouldn't be so sure Heather. Number disadvantages rarely cause a team to lose. In fact, it usually means they've got a better chance at winning the challenge."
Heather strongly disagrees. "That doesn't even make sense! That makes winning challenges almost completely pointless in the long run!"
"Of course it makes sense. When one team starts losing too many times in a row, something always happens to break their losing streak. Viewers don't like seeing the same teams win and lose every time you know." Sierra states very mundanely, becoming more interested in Cody's hair.
"I'd be inclined to believe you, but past experience proves to me that you're not worth believing."
Sierra takes offense to that, releasing her grip on Cody and confronting Heather. "Hey, it's not my fault Gwen jinxed us right before the challenge started! As soon as she jinxed us, my entire prediction of the challenge changed!" Cody takes the opportunity to sneak away.
"If you knew exactly what was going to happen, then why didn't you try to change things?" Heather demands.
Sierra tries to defend herself. "I was about to, but Duncan's stubbornness made it impossible!"
"Whatever, just keep your predictions to yourself from now on." Heather turns away with a huff.
(Confession Cam)
Heather - "Sierra's a freak, and I don't need her anymore. Our next elimination, Gwen goes bye bye. Then I help Cody get revenge on Courtney. If we lose again, we get rid of Sierra. It's smooth flying till the merge folks, and I don't have to worry about a thing."
Sierra - "Heather thinks she's so smart. Reality check, she's not! She still thinks she's using me! She might be in for a rude wake up call next time we go to elimination!"
Team Chris is lounging together, enjoying their first class ride for as long as they can. Izzy is noticeably missing from the group, but the guys don't seem to notice.
Tyler is lamenting his current separation from Lindsay. "First class is great and all, but being separated from Lindsay, man, it sucks!"
Owen sympathizes with the jock. "Um, yeah, I know exactly what you mean. When I'm, uh, away from Izzy for too long, I get really...-"
Noah cuts him off. "Happy, because your girlfriend is a complete and total nutjob? And I'm not talking tiny peanuts. That girl is a Brazil-nut-sized nutjob."
Owen suddenly realizes Izzy's absence. "Hey, where is Izzy anyway?"
Alejandro is the only one able to answer. "I saw her go to the cockpit to talk to Chef."
The other guys instantly gasp in fear. As if on cue, an alarm sounds and the plane starts shaking. Contestants everywhere on the plane start screaming.
The camera switches to the cockpit, showing Izzy playing with the buttons while an annoyed Chef tries to fly the plane. "Whoa! What does this button do?" The button causes the plane to spin. "Oh! And this one!"
Chef snaps. "Girl, stop that!"
"Ooo. Blue button!" The plane starts to lose altitude, then starts flying straight up through the clouds. The plane then does a spinning nose dive before Chef finally manages to return the plane to normal flight.
The guys in first class sigh in relief. Suddenly, Heather starts banging on the door. "Alejandro! Control your stupid team already!"
Alejandro smirks. "Ah, Heather. The way she always tries to insult our team is so...cute."
Noah questions Alejandro's wording. "You like her, don't you?"
Alejandro's eyes widen, but he quickly regains his composure. "What? Now where would you get a crazy idea like that?"
Noah's explanation is plain and simple. "She's the only one you flirt with on a regular basis. You usually stop flirting with anyone else after a few days."
Owen agrees. "Yeah, Noah does have a point there."
Alejandro quickly defends himself. "Coincidences, I assure you. If it seems to you that my attention is focused on Heather, it's just because I find it fun to aggravate the original scheming villain of this show."
Noah smirks, then drops the subject. "Whatever you say, Al."
Tyler is concerned with a different matter. "Speaking of the girls, I hope Lindsay's doing OK down there in economy class. Izzy's flying has to be way worse for them."
Noah calmly informs Tyler of his own idea. "You know you could just go and check on her, right? Chris only cares that losers stay in loser class, and we're probably close enough to landing that he won't care either way." Tyler stares blankly for a moment, before getting up and dashing into economy class. Noah sighs in annoyance.
Before the door can swing shut, Cody sneaks through, sighing with relief as the door closes. He nervously calls to the remaining guys in the room. "Um, hey guys. Could I hang up here until we land? I seriously need to get away from Sierra for a little while."
Alejandro smiles and welcomes him. "Mi casa es su casa, my friend. We of Team Chris like to look out for our fellow men. Have a seat and relax a little."
Cody is incredibly grateful, taking the seat left vacant by Tyler. "Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! I swear, Sierra's getting clingier every day!"
Noah is confused by Cody's situation. "You were in a boy band, and yet you can't handle one fangirl?"
Cody's face turns serious as he answers. "Oh, I've handled fangirls before Noah. Sierra is nothing like them! She's an obsessed stalker mixed with a borderline psychopath! Did you know she's been stealing my underwear lately? And the other day, I saw her brushing her teeth, with my toothbrush!"
Before Cody can continue, Izzy's voice sounds from the intercom. "Ahem. This is your captain speaking. If you look out your window, you'll get to see what happens when a plane does a somersault!"
Chef manages to steal back the mike. "Give me that! Uh, ya'll might wanna hang on to something heavy!"
An alarm starts sounding through the plane. People start screaming. Contestants from economy class start pounding on the door to first class. "Help! Owen!"
The plane zooms past the Eiffel Tower, continuously descending. A citizen dives to the ground and screams "We surrender!" Barely over a strip of water, one of the planes wings hits the water, causing it to roll on its side and flip along the water. It finally comes to a landing in front of the Louvre.
Izzy cheers as her chair is ejected from the plane, and falls into the water.
Chris enters the cockpit to yell at Chef. "You said we were landing at the Eiffel Tower!"
Chef furiously yells back. "And you said there was no way crazy girl could get through that door!"
(Confession Cam)
Alejandro - "Tyler's cluelessness. Noah's snarky nature. Owen's gastrointestinal outbursts. All three of these I can handle without a sweat. But add in Izzy's psychotic acts, and I feel like I'm about to pull my hair out!"
Owen - "I've thought really hard about what Al told me in the Amazon. Al's been nothing but a friend to me since the season started, so I've gotta trust him, except... I don't believe him about Izzy! I've gotta find out of Izzy still loves me on my own!
Chris is standing in front of the doors to the Louvre, with the contestants lined up next to him. After making sure everyone is present, Chris starts the introduction. "I didn't exactly get a chance to prep my introduction, what with the unexpected water landing and all. I'm just gonna give the highlights, City of love, art gallery, fashion, lots of artwork, tasty food..."
Lindsay is easily the most excited person to be there. "Eee! Paris! This is the perfect place for me to spend some time catching up with my favorite guy, Tyler!"
Tyler agrees. "And I can't wait to spend some time with my favorite girl."
Lindsay looks confused as she looks at her boyfriend. "I forget, did you always wear a track suit?" However, she quickly regains her excitement. "Oh, it doesn't matter. Us being together in Paris means only one ! I can pick out new clothes out for you! Eeeee!"
Chris puts a hand over Lindsay's mouth to silence her squealing. "There's no time for shopping. The first challenge is about to start! Everyone, inside the Louvre!"
Inside the Louvre, Chef wheels in a heavy crate.
With the crate in place, Chris starts explaining the challenge. "Challenge time kids! Each team gets their very own famous sculpture. Team Victory, yours is The Thinker." Chris hands Lindsay a picture of said statue. "Team Chris, you guys get the Venus de Milo." Alejandro is given the picture.
Alejandro takes a moment to appreciate the picture. "Ah, Venus. Such beauty."
"Calm down, loverboy. Amazons, you ladies get The Statue of David. Here's how it works. It's up to you guys to find your statue hidden somewhere in the Louvre."
Courtney is surprised by the simplicity. "Well, that shouldn't be too hard. The statues are big, plus I'm amazing at reading brochure maps."
Chris quickly breaks her bubble. "About that... Chef has broken the statues into pieces and hidden them. First team to find their pieces, race to the pyramid court, and reassemble them wins part one of today's challenge, and an advantage for their team. And to keep things interesting, whichever team that comes in last will receive a receive a disadvantage."
Alejandro points out a concerning fact. "But The Thinker isn't located in the Louvre, and The Statue of David isn't even in France."
Chris quickly explains. "Well, we're not using the actual statues. Those are priceless. Chef made some fake ones, right?" Chef stares blankly for a moment before frowning in realization. He quickly runs away from the scene, leaving the contestants plus Chris staring at his retreating form.
Chris quickly brings the focus back on him. "Two more tiny details. Detail number one, your motivation." Pushing a button, the crate opens up, revealing a snarling Sasquatchanakwa and an angry bear. Many of the contestants cower in fear at these creatures.
Heather quickly recovers from the scare and mocks Chris. "What? Only two? You're losing your touch Chris. Couldn't find any lions or tigers to sick on us too?"
Chris calmly responds. "Nope, just those two and an escaped serial killer. Oh look, there he is right now."
Slowly looking behind herself, Heather, followed by many other contestants, scream at the sight of the Escaped Psycho Killer with a Chainsaw and a Hook.
Chris quickly finishes the instructions. "And now, for detail number deux." The musical bell rings. "You all get a ten second head start. I'd start running." All the contestants quickly run off screaming. Their motivation soon follows. Chris smiles, pleased with himself. "I love my job."
Oui, My Friends [1]
The camera is focused on the psycho killer as he's running through the hall. The camera stops after the killer runs past a large display of statues. The music starts as the members of Team Amazon reveal themselves from behind the statues.
Sierra: I love Paris in the springtime!
Je t'aime Paris in the fall!
It's the city of love in the summer!
Gwen: Well, now it's just a bummer, cause-
Courtney: YOU DON'T GET TO SING! Ahem… Paris, the city of lights! The city of wonders!
It would take forever to take in all the sights!
To think we're actually here is a dream come true,
Though I don't recall my dream ever having you!
Gwen: Oh, and the psycho killer was?
Courtney: He'd be in it before your goth-butt, that's for sure!
Heather: Shut it, you two!
It's time to start the challenge, and this time we'll do it right.
This place is really big, and I don't want to search all night.
The sooner this song is done, I'll get to clear my mind!
Now, Oui, my friends, we've got a statue to find!
Gwen: Oui, my friends, that killer's just a square.
Cody: Oui, my friends, I'm more afraid of that bear!
The members of Team Chris run by the Amazons, quickly followed by the Sasquatchanakwa. A few pieces of their statue being carried by Alejandro and Tyler.
Alejandro: This challenge seems like a piece of cake, it doesn't seem that hard.
Noah: Just gotta find some statue pieces and drag them across the yard.
Owen: Add a little glue, and we're done! Time to feast!
Tyler: That's what we would be saying... if we weren't being chased by that giant crazy beast!
Said beast roars at the group.
Alejandro: Oui, my friends, all we can do is run!
Izzy: Oui, my friends, this place is really fun!
Owen: Non... my friends... I think I'm almost done! Ahhh!
The Sasquatchanakwa gets dangerously close to Owen, but a convenient blast of Owen's gas stops him in place. The members of Team Chris take the moment to put some distance between them and the beast. The camera shifts to the members of Team Victory, looking around pieces of artwork.
Lindsay: Paris! The shopping is what I want to do!
Paris! The fashion is what I want to see!
All the models, the fashion, it's like this place was built for me!
The clothing's all the rage, and it's exactly what I seek!
But instead I'm stuck in this place, and it reeks!
This "Love-ray" place is really boring, don't you agree?
Bridgette: Oui, my friends, this is getting kinda long.
Ezekiel: Oui, mes amis, il est temps de mettre fin à cette chanson.
Bridgette: I didn't know you could speak French.
Ezekiel: You do now, eh.
Lindsay: Oh, we end up in Paris.
Lindsay, Gwen, and Courtney: We feel very despaires.
Lindsay, Gwen, Courtney, Alejandro, and Noah: And we really want to leave right now!
The camera swaps to show Chris and Chef in the security room, watching the contestants on the monitors. "Not exactly how I would've ended it myself. I prefer a little more flashy in my song endings. How about you?"
Chef was also surprised. "I was expecting some kinda mushy love song."
Chris agrees. "I know! This is Paris after all. City of love. Barely seen any yet. Oh well." Chris turns to the camera. "We'll be right back."
You ever noticed how some shows skip certain events when they cut to commercial, and you feel as if you've missed something when the show comes back? Yeah, this is one of those times.
(Team Chris)
The members of the team quickly run past the camera screaming. They've, once again, found themselves being chased by the Sasquatchanakwa. Alejandro and Tyler lead the pack, each carrying a pile of statue pieces. Noah follows right behind them, while Izzy and Owen bring up the rear.
Alejandro has grown increasingly frustrated. "How does that thing keep finding us?"
Noah quickly explains. "I'll give you a hint. She's wearing green, mentally psychotic, and every time we get away from that thing, she sings "We lost it, we lost it, we lost the stupid yeti!" Said psycho girl was busy making faces at the creature.
Alejandro groans. "Ugh, we have got to find a way to get her to calm down and focus on the challenge!"
Noah has his own proposal. "We could always just ditch her."
Alejandro is shocked by this suggestion. "Noah! You can't just leave a women to fend for herself against such a monstrous feral beast!"
"Why not? Izzy's pretty much one herself."
Tyler looks back to see Izzy growling at the beast. "He kinda has a point there."
Alejandro rolls his eyes. "Just keep running. I'll think of something."
The camera moves to focus on Owen and Izzy. Owen nervously tries to make small talk. "So... Izzy... what ya think of all this artwork here? Pretty amazing huh?"
Izzy grabs a painting and starts admiring it. "Oh, I know! It's amazing how aerodynamic some of these pieces are. They make for some perfect ammo." She throws the painting towards the piece, hitting it in the head. "Ha, ha! Bullseye! Err...Yetiseye!"
"Good shot Iz, but I think you just made it madder."
"I know! This is just like antagonizing animals at the zoo! Except this one can fight back!"
"Are you really sure that's a good idea? It doesn't seem very safe."
"Safety's for little girls and DJs. Danger's Izzy's middle name!"
"But... what if he catches us? I'm like a full course meal to that guy!"
Izzy throws her hands up in frustration. "Come on, Owen! Where's the fiery, fun loving spirit you had on the island? Where's the goofy guy that never let anything get him down?" As she talks, they run past another hallway. Their fellow teammates are just visible running down it.
Owen looks down. "I think he's in here... somewhere."
"Prove it."
"What?"
"Prove it!"
"OK, I wi-" BAM, Owen crashes into a wall. He quickly shakes it off and gets up. "Why is there a wall here?" A quick look around and he notices something missing. "Where's Al? And Noah? And -" A loud roar draws both their attention. The Sasquatchanakwa stands in the way of their only escape route. "my mommy? Ahhh!" Owen quickly cowers behind Izzy.
Izzy rolls her eyes. "If you want this all you can eat you can eat buffet, you're going to have to go through me first!" Izzy howls a battle cry as she jumps at the beast, planning to hit him with a flying kick. She's just about to make contact when... the monster grabs Izzy by the leg, spins her around in the air, and throws her back to the cowering Owen. "Well, that didn't work. Guess we're dead. Later folks!" Owen starts screaming as the Sasquatchanakwa nears.
Suddenly, a vase hits Sasquatchanakwa's head. "Hey, fur bag! Three more morsels for ya, right here!" Turning his head, the monster sees Noah, Tyler, and Alejandro in the distance.
Tyler nervously turns to Noah. "Dude, there's no way this is gonna work!"
Noah reassures him. "Oh yeah? Just watch. This totally works on my dog." Noah puts a hand behind his back, then glares at the beast. It accepts the challenge, and charges at the group.
The camera skips back and forth, Sasquatchanakwa getting closer, and Noah staring down the beast. Right as the beast is about to grab Noah, he unleashes his secret weapon! He starts waving around his arm, pretending he's holding a ball. "Who wants the ball? Who wants it?" Sasquatchanakwa instantly falls for the trick, getting on all fours and bouncing around, eager for the ball. "You want it, don't you? Go get it!" Noah throws his pretend ball behind him, and Sasquatchanakwa chases off for it. Noah proudly dusts off his hands. "If he's anything like my dog, that should keep him busy for hours."
Izzy excitedly rushes over. "That was amazing Noah! I seriously thought that thing was going to rip you to shreds! That would've gotten that place so mes-"
Noah silences Izzy. "Mr. Monster is gone, so we're going to focus on the challenge now, OK?" Izzy nods.
Alejandro is impressed. "Well played, Noah! Now, onwards!" Alejandro leads the team off.
Owen dazedly picks himself up off the ground. "What happened? Are we dead yet? Guys? Wait up!" He rushes off to join his team.
(Confession Cam)
Owen - "Maybe Izzy's right... maybe I'm not the same person I used to be. I don't even know if I can keep up with Izzy anymore! And if I can't keep up with Izzy anymore... what's keeping us together?"
Izzy - "Woo, that was fun! But now, Izzy's got a new challenge. Owen's in a funk right now, and Izzy's gotta get him out of it! Maybe a change in wardrobe is needed."
(Team Victory)
Ezekiel, Bridgette, and Lindsay are walking along a hallway searching for more pieces. Lindsay stops to talk with her teammates. "OK, team. The song got us a little off schedule, but now we have time for a meeting. Any thoughts or ideas?"
Bridgette responds first. "Knowing Chris, some of our pieces are probably guarded or surrounded by traps."
Ezekiel adds in his thoughts. "Yeah, and they're probably hidden in a special area, like a guard room, or one of the exhibit halls."
This information worries Lindsay. "Wow, that's a lot of places to search. We better split up and search for places they could be. Let's meet back her in a few minutes!" Lindsay rushes off without another word.
Ezekiel and Bridgette start to search, but they barely walk three steps before they see a large flag with their team logo pointing to a doorway that leads to an Egyptian exhibit. "Well, that looks rather suspicious, eh."
Lindsay quickly rejoins her team. "You guys found anything yes?" Her teammates quickly point out the arrow. She feels a little skeptical about it. "You sure they might be in there? I don't remember seeing any statues in Egypt." Ezekiel and Bridgette just push her up to the doorway.
The three peek inside. A pile of statue pieces are easily visible inside an open sarcophagus. Lindsay instantly perks up. "Well, that was easy." She starts walking into the room, but is quickly pulled back out by her teammates. Their action greatly confuses her. "Hey, what was that for?"
Bridgette quickly shushes Lindsay, before pointing into the room again. "Look." Off to the side of their statue pieces, the bear is lurking around.
Lindsay is instantly disheartened. "How are we ever going to get those pieces with that thing guarding them?"
After a moment of thinking, Ezekiel responds. "I have an idea."
(Team Amazon)
The Amazons have found most of their pieces, some carried by everyone. They're wandering about the hallways, looking for their last one.
Heather is getting frustrated. "Come on guys! We've gotta find this last piece and beat the stupid boys to the pyramid court!"
Sierra has different priorities however, involving a certain guy on their team. "Don't you just find this place romantic, Cody?"
"Not really." Cody backs away from Sierra, accidentally knocking over a stand of building maps. Interested, he picks one up.
Sierra wraps an arm around Cody. "All this artwork is just divine! Such beauty, such emotion! And the best part... I get to spend this time with you!"
Cody tries to pull away. "Um, art's not really my thing. I'm better with computers and tech stuff."
Sierra just pulls him closer. "Just imagine. If one of us wins the money, we could move here, get married, and experience this every day!"
Cody looks down and his eyes catch interest in something. "I'm fine, no need to be imagining- woah."
Sierra throws her arms up in joy. "I knew you'd love the idea!"
Cody moves away as he explains. "No, not that! It's this map of the Louvre. Our team symbol's on here, all of them are!"
Courtney overhears this information and rushes over. "What? Let me see!" She tears the map out of Cody's hands and quickly scans it. "Our symbol's over some stupid Amazon exhibit! Ugh! It's practically on the other side of the Louvre!"
Heather quickly makes up a plan. "OK, this is how we're going to do this. Courtney, Gwen, and I will go get the last piece. Cody, you and Sierra go to the pyramid court and start putting together our statue! Let's go!" Heather, Courtney, and Gwen quickly run off, leaving a concerned Cody. "Wait, what?"
Sierra enthusiastically scoops Cody into a hug. "Alone at last!" Cody simply groans.
(Team Chris)
The team has found nearly all their pieces now. Their only remaining piece, the head, lies on the other side of a laser grid.
Alejandro sees no solution. "How do we get our last piece from behind those security lasers?"
Tyler has the answer. "Guess who was captain of his gymnastics team at kinder gym? It's Tyler time!" Tyler dives right throw the lasers, confident in his abilities. Unfortunately, his abilities quickly get him stuck. "Um, guys? Oww! Little help!"
Alejandro sighs, then turns to Noah. "Noah, you will have to move through the lasers. Owen's girth and my muscled chest will not fit."
Noah objects. "I don't think that'll be necessary."
Alejandro is confused. "How else are we going to finish the challenge?"
Noah simply points off screen. The camera pans over to reveal Izzy smoothly jumping around the lasers. Noah calls out to the girl. "Hey, Izzy! Can you go grab the disembodied head, so we can finish this challenge and leave already?"
Tyler calls out. "What about me, guys?" Without getting an answer, Izzy hops over to her trapped teammate. Somehow, she manages to lift him up, and toss him out of the lasers. He hits the ground with a thud and responds with a weak "Thanks."
Izzy cheers as she flips through the lasers, grabs the head, and hops back through to her teammates.
(Confession Cam)
Noah - "Is anything she does even a surprise anymore?"
Tyler - "I just forget to limber up first. Give me another chance at that, and I'd clear through those lasers, no problem."
(Team Victory)
A faint humming sound alerts the bear. The sound leads him to the doorway. As soon as he pokes his head outside, cart, driven by Ezekiel, with Lindsay and Bridgette riding, crashes into him. The impact sends him flying through the Egypt exhibit, only to crash into a pile of sarcophagi and bandages.
Ezekiel stops the cart next to their statue pieces. Bridgette quickly scoops them up and loads them onto the cart. "Got them!"
Lindsay cheers as they drive away. "To the pyramid court!"
(Team Amazon)
The Amazon girls arrive at the exhibit and run inside. The area is decorated with all kinda of fake plant life, fake animals, and possibly fake artifacts. Heather commands the other two. "Split up and look!" All three run off to rummage through the room.
Courtney searches through some fake bushes, but finds nothing. As she turns her back, another bush starts shaking. Courtney hears the sound, but as soon as she looks at the bush, it stops. Confused, Courtney slowly creeps up to the bush, and prepares to brush out whatever is hiding.
As soon as her hands touch the bush, a tribal mask pokes out, yelling something in a native tongue. Courtney screams. "Zing Zing!"
Just as she starts to run off for help, the mask starts laughing with a familiar voice. Gwen takes off the mask.
Courtney instantly glares at her. "Oh, real mature! You practically gave me a heart attack! And I don't recall us being on speaking grounds!"
"Relax! It it was just a joke." Gwen pulls herself out of the bush.
"What are you doing moving museum property anyway? I'm sure the museum told Chris to penalize anyone who breaks something!"
Gwen roles her eyes. "It's just a mask, a factory one too. I took it off one of the dummies. You have got to see them, it's hilarious!"
Courtney reluctantly agrees. "Fine, show me. Just make sure you put that mask back."
Gwen leads Courtney over to a display of a typical Zing Zing camp. Three dummies stand on display. Two of them appear exactly like the ones the team had previously encountered. Gwen places the mask she took on one of these. However, the third is... different. It seems to depict a large male, roughly the size of Chef Hatchet, dressed the same as the others, except with lighter skin, and is curiously missing a hand.
"Just look at that thing! It looks like a bad Chef clone! You can't tell me that doesn't make you want to burst out laughing!"
"It does look a little funny. It looks like such a neanderthal."
"And what's with the missing hand and skin color? Did the museum order it like that, or did the factory send it as an April Fool's joke?"
"OK, I agree, it's really funny!" Both girls start walking away laughing.
A few steps, and Courtney has a sudden realization. "Wait a minute. This thing wears a mask, is missing a hand, and looks like it belongs in a caveman exhibit, right?"
"Right. Why?" Gwen's answer comes from a chainsaw falling right between the two.
Both girls turn around to see the killer reaching to grab them. "Ahh! The psycho killer!" In self defense, both girls punch him in the face. As they pull their fists away, the killer collapses to the floor.
The girls look down at the collapsed killer, then turn to compliment each other. "Nice punch." "You too."
Gwen rolls her eyes at the killer. "Man, this guy's a weakling."
"I know, even Duncan can take more hits then this guy."
Heather finally joins the girls, having found their last piece. "I found it! Let's go! We have a challenge to win!" The three run off, making sure to step on the psycho killer on their way out.
As they're running, Gwen has a question for her teammates. "Either of you feel like a huge letdown just happened?" Neither Courtney or Heather can agree.
Pyramid Court
Heather, Gwen, and Courtney dash onto the courtyard. What they see instantly shocks them. Cody, with no Sierra in sight, is struggling to finish their half-finished statue, while the other teams are nearly finished.
Heather is furious. "Cody! What happened?"
Cody dives at Gwen's feet and begs his teammates to understand. "It wasn't my fault! Sierra! She wouldn't let me do anything! She kept talking about marriage, and kids! She just kept hugging me! She wouldn't stop hugging me!"
Courtney rolls her eyes. "Where's Sierra now?"
Cody quickly explains. "I told her we were missing a piece of the statue and she took off."
Heather stomps her foot in frustration. "Ugh! She's so useless! Let's hurry up and finish this thing before the others-"
As if on cue, Noah puts the head on his team's statue. "Finished!"
Lindsay quickly puts the finishing piece on her statue as well. "Us too!"
The Amazons collectively yell "What?"
Chris walks over to admire the statues before announcing his judgment. "Nice job, Team Me. You've got Venus looking as beautiful as her picture, right Al? You guys take part one!" The team cheers in celebration. "Team Victory, I think you'll be happy to know that you guys won't be stuck with any disadvantage in the elimination challenge!" Lindsay and Bridgette high-five while Ezekiel cheers. "Amazons, since your statue's missing a few pieces, it look's like you'll be stuck trying to dig your way out of last place. It's a real shame too. David really reminds me a lot of myself. Hot, muscular, admired by all for his beauty."
(Confession Cam)
Noah - "They also both lack a heart, a brain, and a certain reproductive organ."
Sierra walks into the pyramid court looking concerned. "I couldn't find our missing piece, Cody. Maybe our teammates found it-" She finally notices the rest of her team is there. "Oh, hi girls. What's going on?"
Heather angrily fills her in. "What's going on," is that we just lost an important part of the challenge, and it's all your fault!"
Chris interrupts the girls and gets the focus back on him. "Save the ranting for later, Amazons. We've got our next challenge to introduce! Since we're in the fashion capital of the world, we're gonna have a fashion walk-off! Each team will pick a designer and a model-"
Lindsay grabs her boyfriend. "I pick Tyler!"
Annoyed at being interrupted, Chris continues. "from your own team!" Lindsay looks down in disappointment. "Each designer must come up with an outfit for their model to wear. Then the models will strut their stuff down the catwalk, while our three guest judges heartlessly pick us a winner! The group with the worst fashion sense will be taking their team to elimination. The members of the winning team will each enjoy a candlelit dinner for two up in first class, with the date of their choice." The contestant smile with hope. "So long as that choice is someone still on the plane."
Sierra squeezes Cody. "We'll have the best date ever!" Cody sighs and stares longingly at Gwen.
Alejandro seductively whispers to Bridgette. "I will gladly invite you to dinner if my team wins, as I hope you will me, mi amor." Bridgette chuckles nervously, and quickly backs away.
Heather scoffs. "I'm tempted to pick you, just so I can explain in excruciating detail everything that's wrong with you!"
"Team Chris, since you finished your statue first, you guys get an assistant!" An intern with blond hair and a light blue shirt walks out, carrying a load of supplies.
Izzy eagerly volunteers. "Oh! Oh! You guys have to let me make an outfit for Big O! I've already got a ton of ideas! I just have to get the right measurements first." Izzy grabs a measuring tape from the intern and starts measuring different dimensions of Owen's body.
Noah voices his opinion to Tyler and Alejandro. "I don't know about you guys, but I'm all for anything that keeps Crazy busy, happy, and not messing with my clothes."
Alejandro makes the final call. "Chris, Izzy will be representing our team by making an outfit for Owen."
Chris finds their choice very confusing. "Seriously? Weird." Then he moves to address the next time. "Team Victory, your choice?"
Lindsay begs to Bridgette. "You've gotta let me make an outfit for you! I've already got a design in mind, and you can wear it next time you go on a date with Jeff!"
Bridgette agrees. "Sure, why not? Just promise me it won't be anything too... not my style, OK?" Lindsay nods and turns to Chris.
Chris moves on. "No surprise there. Amazons, any volunteers?"
Gwen does the opposite. "Count me out. Fashion is a waste of time, and I hate models."
Heather tries to elect herself for the challenge. "Obviously, I should do the designing. I'm the only one with any fashion sense on this team."
Courtney scoffs. "I wouldn't wear any of your clothes if they were the last clothes on Earth!" Heather glares.
Sierra is happily daydreaming. "Codykins would look so cute in so many outfits..."
Sierra's rambling gives Heather an idea. "Hey, that could work. Sierra's obsessed mind must have at least one good idea for this."
Cody immediately objects. "What? No way!"
Gwen leans down and whispers to Cody. "Please, Cody? This is our best chance to stay out of last place. If we still lose, I promise to help you vote her off."
That was all the incentive he needed. "Oh... fine. I'll do it. I'll be the model."
Sierra snaps out of her daydream and shrieks with joy. "This is like a dream come true!"
Chris happily "Oh, and since you guys finished last, here's your supplies!" A single roll of material is tossed to Sierra.
Heather is shocked. "You expect her to make an entire outfit with just one roll?"
Chris continues to smile. "Nope. Now get to work designers! You each have your own work area backstage."
(Confession Cam)
Lindsay - "Fashion is totally my element! I can't wait to show those judges what I've got! And maybe I can use any leftover material to make something for Tyler!"
Cody - "At this point, I'll do anything to get Sierra gone. Even..." He shudders. "Playing dress up."
Sierra - "Best. Challenge. Ever! Eeeee!"
(Sierra & Cody)
Sierra eagerly follows Cody into their work area.
Cody takes a quick look around before sighing. "Let's get this over with. What do you need to do first?"
Sierra happily answers. "You should take your shirt off first."
Cody supplies a reason for himself. "To take my measurements, right? Fine." Cody removes his shirt and waits with dread for Sierra to get close. When she doesn't, Cody gets confused. "Sierra? Aren't you going to take my measurements?"
Sierra slyly responds. "I already know what your measurements are. I just wanted to look at your shirtless body." Cody sighs.
(Lindsay & Bridgette)
Bridgette is sitting in a chair, stubbornly denying Lindsay's request. "No way."
Lindsay "Come on, Bridge! You've gotta let me do your makeup! It could be the thing that sets you out from the others and get the judge's support!"
"I don't wear makeup, Lindsay!"
Lindsay doesn't give up. "Please! Please! Please!" As a final method of attack, Lindsay stares at Bridgette with puppy dog eyes."
Bridgette tries to resist, but inevitably gives in. "...Fine"
Lindsay jumps with joy. "Great! Now hold still while I apply your mascara." Bridgette sighs.
(Izzy & Owen)
Izzy and the intern are struggling to strap a girdle onto Owen.
Owen is concerned. "Izzy, is this really necessary?"
Izzy quickly explains things to him. "Of course, Big O! I'm giving you a whole new look, and part of that look involves tight clothing. See, everyone expects you to be wearing some big, shaggy outfit that fits you comfortably. Well, we're gonna surprise them! It'll totally wow the judges!" Izzy gives the girdle one last tug before backing up, satisfied. The intern steps back as well.
"Whatever you say, Iz. It's just, this thingy around my gut is making it kinda hard to breath." Owen gasps in a breath.
Izzy tries to reassure him. "Don't worry, Big O. People all around the world are constantly sacrificing their ability to breath easily for fashion, but mostly in Europe and North America."
Owen is surprised by the info. "Really? Gosh, I've never really understood fashion. If you think this'll help us win the challenge, by all means, keep doing what your doing."
Izzy turns to give her assistant new orders. "Intern assistant guy! Nah, that's a horrible name. You look like a Billy to me. I'm gonna call you Billy from now on. Billy, I need you to find some rope, wire, duck tape, black spray paint, an oxygen tank, and leather, lot's of leather! Go Billy!" Billy the intern sighs.
The catwalk for the challenge is a simple raised platform, a pink curtain with a few stage lights on one end, and a judging table after the end of the other.
The other contestants are all sitting along the side of the catwalk, waiting for the challenge to continue.
Chris walks out from behind the curtain and addresses the people with a microphone. "As our designers put the finishing touches on their models, it's time to introduce our three guest judges. Our first judge is a modest, gossip loving man who loves his cat fights. Please welcome, the host of Celebrity Manhunt... Josh!"
Josh walks in blowing kisses before taking the first seat. "It's great to see you kitties again! I have to say, this is shaping up to be a great season so far, and I'm proud to be a part of it!"
Chris continues. "Our next judge was supposed to be the psycho killer, but nobody's seen him in awhile. So instead, welcome our cook who kills, our pilot with the skills, the man who pays my bills... Chef Hatchet!"
Chef takes the middle seat and glares. "What, now I'm on the same level as a psycho killer? Do I look like a serial killer to you? Huh?" Murmurs of "Yeah!" "More than the real killer." and a sarcastic "No, of course not." can be heard from the contestants.
Chris is pleased. "Good one, Chef. Now, go ahead and welcome our last guest... Blaineley."
Blaineley stops and glares at the host. "Hey, how come I don't get an introduction?"
Chris answers her with an annoyed tone. "Because you already get plenty of screen time co-hosting the Aftermath Show. Now take a seat, so we can move on already." Blaineley takes the remaining seat with a humph.
The three designers walk up and take a seat with their teams, signaling they were finished. Chris takes notice and continues. "Alright, looks like our models are ready. First on stage, Sierra couture as worn by that poor sucker, Cody!"
Cody pokes his head out and sighs. Some catwalk pop music starts to play as Cody tries to walk down with dignity. His attempt is futile however, as he is dressed in only a speedo that matches the color of his usual shirt, and a pair of sandals. Sierra gives him a wolf whistle and cheers. Alejandro, Noah, and Tyler burst out laughing as he passes them.
Heather glares at Sierra. "That's all you could come up with?"
Sierra answers while staring lovingly at Cody. "Yeah... I kinda lost track of time. I decided this was good enough. Just look at that sexy body."
When he reaches the edge of the platform, Cody turns and rushes back behind the curtain, clearly embarrassed and annoyed.
Josh is unsure of what to think. "That was... different. Not exactly what I would've predicted."
Chef is a little more supportive. "I didn't expect much, but gotta give him props for having the courage to even come out here."
Blaineley has her own opinion. "It would look find on other models, but on Cody, it does not compliment. Sierra forgot the number two rule of guys fashion. A scrawny body means you leave a shirt on."
Chris announces the next group. "Next up, here comes Bridgette wearing a Lindsay original!"
Bridgette walks out wearing a light blue dress that reaches her knees, and a collar with a gem around her neck. Her face is done up with a little blush, lipstick, and mascara. Her hair is tied into a bun with a light blue ribbon. Finally, she's walking on high heels. The background music apparently changes to a light rock type of music, mostly an electric guitar playing. [2]
Bridgette reaches the edge and turns around. She barely takes two steps before she trips over her feet. She stumbles all the way back across the platform and falls past the curtain. "Whoa, whoa! Ah! Stupid heels!"
Josh claps and cheers. "Wonderful, beautiful! I'm sure Geoff will just love to see you in that. Great job ladies!"
Chef agrees. "I wish my wardrobe people could make a dress as nice as that. Seriously, what does a guy need to do to get a good dress around here?"
Blaineley isn't as impressed. "It was OK, but nothing amazing. I've got plenty of outfits that look just like it. Also, walk much?"
Chris moves on to the final group. "Looks like the judges have already picked out a winner. Can Owen and Izzy change their minds? Let's find out!"
Owen walks out, but the camera focuses on his head, which is now wearing makeup and a sticker covered ear. A squeaking noise can be heard as he moves. People gasp, others scream. Many people block their eyes as he walks by. Chris shudders.
When he finally reaches the edge, the camera pans out to reveal his appearance. The rest of Owen's body is stuffed in a tight, black leather jumpsuit. Bulges of fat appear to be attempting to break free of the suit. A belt is squeezing into his gut. His arms and legs are stiff and rigid. Patches of duck tape show where rips have already occurred.
Owen manages to chuckle. "How do I look?"
(Confession Cam)
Heather - "It won't get out of my head! Get it out! Get it out!"
Gwen - Scared for life two challenges in a row? Come on!"
Noah - "You'd think being on the same team with him would make one grow used to things like this. It doesn't!"
Tyler - *barfs into the toilet* "Nasty!"
Ezekiel - "Even I know that was disgusting and unnatural, eh."
Josh falls over and feints. Blaineley barfs on the floor. Chef gives a dull response. "And that's breaking rule number one. Fat guys and skinny clothes do not mix." Owen looks confused.
Chris quickly focuses the camera off Owen, and back on himself. "Well, I think our results are pretty obvious. Victory, to the Victory team." Said team cheers. "Go ahead and pick your dates now."
Lindsay is already hugging Tyler. "Oh, Tyler, this is going to be such a romantic night!"
Bridgette is having a little trouble deciding."I don't suppose you brought Geoff here too?"
Chris answers with a smile. "Nope, he's still lounging at the aftermath studio. No time to get him here before we take off."
Alejandro blows Bridgette a kiss, which makes her flinch. Opening her eyes, she spots Ezekiel, kicking at the ground looking disappointed. "I'll have dinner with Ezekiel, if that's OK with him."
Alejandro is shocked. "What?" But not as shocked as Ezekiel. "You want to have dinner with me?"
Bridgette smiles at him. "Yeah, you're my teammate, and one of my friends. So, want to go to dinner with me?"
Ezekiel blushes. "Sure, eh."
Chris mocks the moment. "Aww, how touching. Now that we have the winners dealt with, Team Chris, I'll be seeing you all at the elimination ceremony tonight.
Alejandro immediately objects. "How do we lose? Sierra didn't even make a full outfit, just a speedo!"
Chris calmly responds. "Dude, your team's outfit made people barf, including one of the judges."
Owen lowers his head in disappointment. "I'm sorry guys."
Alejandro tries to comfort his teammate. "Do not worry, my friend. You don't need to take the blame. Now come, we have much to discuss." Alejandro walks off while Owen waddles after him.
The plane is back in the air, and the members of Team Chris are sitting in the elimination room. Noah, Tyler, and Alejandro sit in the back row. Owen, back in his usual outfit, and Izzy sit in the front.
Chris is standing next to his podium looking disappointed. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. You guys were having such a good run of avoiding this place. It pains me to have to break up the Chris Crew, but all good things must come to an end. The votes have been cast, and it's time to send someone down the drop of shame. Our first bags go to Alejandro and... Noah!" Alejandro happily catches his bag. Noah just sits and looks bored.
"Also staying in the game... Tyler!" He catches his and lets out a cheer.
The focus draws to the remaining bag, and the two contestants. "Owen, Izzy... this is the final bag. Any thoughts on why it's down to you?"
Owen answers as maturely as he can. "Well, I wasn't very helpful today, so if it's my time to go, I'll understand and respect the decision."
Izzy simply shrugs. "Eh, haters gonna hate."
"OK... the last bag goes to..."

"Owen!" Owen is greatly shocked at hearing his name, but quickly changes to happiness as he eyes the peanuts, then sadness after Chris's next words. "Izzy, you're out."
The look of shock on Izzy's face quickly melts back into excitement. "Oh, well. Guess it's time to fly. See ya, guys!" Izzy makes a run for the door and dives out. "Geronimo!"
Chris walks up to the door with a parachute in hand. "Eh, she probably won't need this, but I better throw it anyway. Legal reasons and all." He tosses the parachute out the door and closes it.
The camera splits to first class. Lindsay and Tyler are deep in a make-out session. Bridgette and Ezekiel clink glasses. A third table is filled by Chris and Chef. Chris looks at the camera and signs off. "That's one more teen off the plane. Will next time be as insane? Tune in and find out, next time, on Total, Drama, World Tour!"
(Voting Confessionals)
Izzy - "Izzy doesn't know who to vote for, so she's gonna vote blindfolded!" *She blindfolds herself and stamps Tyler's passport*
Owen - "Al explained to me that eliminating Izzy would be our best action right now. I'm sure you'll see this at the studio Izzy, and, I'm sorry. *Stamps Izzy's passport and sighs*
Noah - "Getting rid of Izzy means safe flights for the rest of the season. Can't pass that up." *Stamps Izzy's passport*
Tyler - "Izzy's a good teammate and all, but she's too... unpredictable. At least I can trust the rest of the team to take challenges seriously. Guys alliance for the win!" *Stamps Izzy's passport*
Alejandro - "And with this, the most difficult to control member of my team is gone. Now to put a little scare in Owen to cement his loyalty." *He laughs evilly and stamps Owen's passport*
...
Izzy - 3
Owen - 1
Tyler - 1
Eliminated - Harold, DJ, LeShawna, Duncan, Izzy.
(Helicopter of Losers)
Izzy:
"Woo hoo! This sure was an awesome season! There were mummies, crocodiles, speed sledding, statue climbing, dance parties, camping trips, and a trip to the zoo! This season had everything! I even got to fly the plane a few times. One more for old times sake couldn't hurt." Izzy hops into the cockpit. "Hey Blaineley, how's the flying going so far?"
Blaineley's yells at the girl. "Izzy, how many times do I have to tell you to stay in the back?"
Izzy doesn't listen. "Oooo, what does this button do?"
Blaineley gasps. "Izzy, no!"
A siren begins to sound and the helicopter starts to lose altitude. Izzy starts to cackle with glee.
Blaineley gives an angry shout. "Izzy!"
[1] - The visuals for the song... don't really have anything. Basically the camera just focuses on whoever is singing at the time. Visualize whatever you want.
For the rhythm and beat of the song:
Sierra starts the song like the original.
Courtney's part completely changes the beat, making it more slow, and awe induced.
Heather's part speeds it back up to normal, same speed as the "Oui, my friends" parts in the original.
Whenever it's transitioning between teams, it's the transition music used in the actual song (also played when nobody is currently singing).
Team Chris's part is the same as Heather's.
Lindsay's part is supposed to be like Sierra's rants in the song.
Ezekiel's line roughly translates to "Yes, my friends, it's time to end this song."
The last part split screens to show the members of each team that are singing, and is sung the same as the ending.
[2] - While the music played for Cody and Owen is the same as the original episode, Bridgette's is the music from the I'm Sorry song. And yes, it is the dress she wore for that song. In this version, Lindsay made it.
I'm definitely proud of this one, and I hope it reaches you people's expectations.
Why was the song changed? - Well, Cody never voted for Sierra in the Amazon, so she wasn't being fake sad this episode, and the original wouldn't have made sense anymore. I originally had hoped for a love song, or a location song for this episode. I tried doing a love song, I couldn't really come up with anything good, so I settled for a location song.
Elimination issues - I'm sorry Izzy fans. I'm not sure if it's obvious, but Izzy's one of the hardest characters for me to write lines for. This entire chapter was my attempts to keep her in character, and give her a place in an important plot. Her absence will be important to the next couple episode, so she was removed for a reason. Have faith, maybe she'll be a returner. You'll have to keep reading to find out.
How will Cody deal with Sierra's continued obsession?
How will Owen feel without Izzy?
What am I going to do with Team Victory for three more episodes to try and keep them interesting?
Find out, maybe next time, on Total, Drama, Alternate Tour!
Preview lines for Newfoundland:
"Nice and peaceful, exactly how I like my plane rides."
"Oh, Tyler!"
"Oh, Lindsay!"
"This is gonna be fun."
Now I've got to figure out how to write Jerd McLean's lines...
