The contestants headed out of Cody's Casino. Jacob had left Cody's early, saying that he needed to finish preparing for his own party. Everyone looked at the scene before them in amazement. Jacob had set the whole street up as a carnival. There was a Ferris wheel, a Super Spinner, a Daredevil drop, bumper cars, and a merry-go-round. Signs pointed to Jacob's house, advertising food and drinks.
Sadie and Katie were the first to recover from seeing the amazing sights. They grabbed Ezekiel and Justin.
"I want to go on the Ferris wheel!" the two girls said in unison.
Both boys were quickly dragged over to the Ferris wheel. Pinkie and Cody followed.
"Ooooh! Ooooh! Izzy wants to go on the Ferris wheel too!"
Izzy dashed to the Ferris wheel with DJ following her, still smiling dreamily.
"Leshawna, would you like to go on the Ferris wheel with me?" Harold asked her.
"I don't think so."
Harold walked away, his hopes crushed. As the rest of the contestants wandered off , Gwen finally got her chance to ask Leshawna her question.
"Leshawna, what's going on with you and Harold?"
"Between me and that white boy? Nothin' honey. I only kissed before him in the heat of the moment."
Gwen didn't know why, but for some reason, she felt relieved.
"Eeeeeeee! The view is sooooo pretty!" Katie squealed.
"Yeah. What do you think, Zeke?" Justin turned to the prairie boy to find that Ezekiel's lips were otherwise engaged. "Never mind."
"Awwwww. Aren't they so cute?" Katie commented.
The cute couple broke apart and Sadie laid her head on Ezekiel's shoulder.
"You and Justin would be even cuter!" Sadie replied.
Katie and Justin blushed.
"Sadie, you shouldn't say things like that!" Ezekiel reprimanded her.
Sadie tried to telepathically tell her boyfriend to shut up so she could continue with her matchmaking.
Ezekiel continued and Sadie decided that if telepathy didn't work, elbowing him forcefully might. "It might hurt some- OW! What was that for, eh?"
Sadie rolled her eyes and laughed at his cluelessness.
Gwen and Harold sat in the Ferris wheel gondola silently. The several conversations they had attempted had all gone south and they had settled for an awkward silence.
Harold mustered up his courage to try to initiate a conversation. "So," he started, "Your party was sweet."
"Thanks," she replied stiffly. "So was yours."
"Thanks. Yours was definitely better."
"Um. Okay."
"The pirate ship on the wall was really good looking."
"Really?" Gwen smiled excitedly, "I worked really hard on that! I was worried that it wasn't going to be that good but it ended up turning out okay."
"You mean you painted that yourself? I thought you had found it in the catalogue! It looked too perfect!"
"Really? I love to paint. I hope to become a full-time artist eventually. I've sold some of my work to get some extra money but I'm still not sure if I'm that good."
Harold listened attentively as Gwen chattered about her art.
Lindsay stared out the window, fascinated by the sight of the Maclean Drive from above.
"Oooh, look! There's my house." She pointed at it to Jacob. "I'm kind of sad we didn't have my party. But yours is really fun!" She smiled at him. "I don't know much about you, Joe. Let's play the getting-to-know-each-other game!"
"Fine. But my name is Jacob not Joe."
"I'm sorry! I'm really bad with names," she said sadly. Her sadness lasted only a second as her attention wavered. "I'll ask the first question! What's your favorite color?"
"Ummmm, Blue I guess."
"Your turn!" she bounced up and down in her chair excitedly.
"Why are you on this show?"
"Because I was picked, silly! My turn. Where's your favorite place to hang out?"
"My room. Why did you audition for Total Drama Island in the first place?"
"My friend told me I should! What's your favorite musical?"
"The Music Man. Do you always do everything your friends tell you?"
"Of course, Jack! That's what friends are for!" Lindsay paused for a moment to think of her next question. "Do you have a crush on any of the girls here?"
He answered quickly without hesitation. "Yes. Why were you friends with Heather in the first season?"
Lindsay's eyes narrowed at the mention of Heather's name. "Because she said we were. If you're here, who's making the Ferris wheel move?"
"Duncan said he'd keep an eye on it for me."
Duncan completely forgot his promise to Jacob when Courtney asked him if he was too scared to go on the Daredevil Drop.
"Princess, I can take any ride! The question is if you can take it?"
"Really?" she asked, "You won't get scared and cry in front of it like you did when you were six?"
Duncan's face darkened. "How did you know about that?"
Courtney laughed and continued to taunt him. "Your brother sent me a photo album of your younger days. Awwww! Widdle Duncan was sooooo cute!"
For once, Courtney's teasing made a crack in Duncan's ego and he was off to prove his manhood on the Daredevil Drop.
"Izzy," DJ said nervously, "You probably shouldn't be doing that."
"Lighten up!" Izzy yelled from her position, hanging out of the window by her feet. "Izzy's not afraid of getting hurt!"
DJ sighed. "I was hoping something good would happen on this ride. I mean, seriously, she said that she loved me!"
Izzy hauled herself back into the gondola and noticed DJ's disappointed face."What's wrong, DJ?"
"Nothing." He tried to force his face to look happier.
"Are you afraid of heights?" Izzy asked, completely mistaken. "Izzy used to be afraid of heights until she realized that they were something to be enjoyed! You could fall to your death any moment!"
DJ suddenly realized how high up they were and developed a fear of heights as Izzy finished talking. "How is being able to fall to your death an enjoyable experience?"
"Well, you're cheating death! That's why Izzy loves doing dangerous things! Every time you get out of a life-threatening situation, you just won another round against death. It's like a big game. If you think that way, you don't have to be afraid of anything. Here, let me show you."
DJ wondered what Izzy was doing as she pushed him towards the exit to the gondola. He suddenly realized exactly what she was doing as she unhooked the door and pushed him out. She held on to his feet and dangled him in the air.
"See? It's thrilling! And when you get back up you can say, 'HAHA! Death, I laugh in your face!"
"Okay, it is a little thrilling. But Izzy, I'd like to cheat death a little faster so could you pull me up?"
"Sorry. Izzy can't do that. You're a little heavier than she expected."
After neither Courtney nor Duncan were fazed by the Daredevil Drop, they proceeded to ride it another ten times. Afterwards, they felt a little sick and called a truce.
"Hey Princess, are you up for some bumper cars?"
Courtney smirked. "The question is not whether I am up for bumper cars but whether you are, widdle Duncie-wuncan."
The two raced to the bumper cars and met Eva, Bridgette, Heather, Trent, and Leshawna engaged in a seriously epic bumper car tournament. Courtney and Duncan hopped into two of the empty cars and joined the battle.
Now, these bumper cars were no ordinary bumper cars. First of all, there were was no safety bar so if you were hit hard enough, you would go flying into the mattresses waiting on the sides. Secondly, the cars only had two speeds: off and Oh my god I think I'm going to die.
The seven sped around the large track at maniac speeds, trying to throw as many people as possible into the soft mattresses waiting on the sides.
Since Duncan had forgotten about the Ferris wheel, it never stopped going and the riders got a little impatient. Eventually, they all jumped off when they got close enough to the ground. DJ was especially relieved to get off because he had spent about ten minutes dangling head first from the gondola.
"Come on. Say it, DJ! Say it!" Izzy jumped around him and started to chant. "Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it!"
Gwen and Harold had found that they had a lot more in common than they could have imagined. Harold had spent a week at Van Gogh Art Camp every year for three years and had a hobby of writing poetry. Gwen had shared his passion for ninja's and World of Warcraft at an earlier point in her life.
Ezekiel was utterly confused (and a little bruised) after his ride on the Ferris wheel. Sadie had continued dropping shameless hints about Justin and Katie and elbowing Ezekiel to keep him quiet. He planned on asking Sadie exactly what she meant by them.
All of the couples who rode the Ferris wheel were closer, both figuratively and literally, since most of them were snuggled together as close as humanly possible.
"Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it-"
"Fine!" DJ interrupted her. "Haha! Death I laugh in your face. There. Are you happy?"
Izzy's face burst into a maniacal grin. "You've gotta say it like you mean it! HAHA! Death I LAUGH in your face!"
DJ contorted his face into Izzy's psycho grin. "HAHA! Death I LAUGH in your face!"
Everyone near them looked at them in shock.
"Oh my god," Gwen whispered in horror. "She's making him….. like her!"
"Yesssh! That wasss great!" Courtney slurred. All of the bumper car riders except for Heather (who was reapplying her makeup) walked out of the ride a little unsteadily.
Duncan put his arm around Courtney. "We make a greaaaaaaaaaat team!"
Courtney kissed him. One kiss turned to two, and then three until the two were making out on the ground.
Trent sat on the ground, crying. "Gweeeeeen! Gwenie hates meeee!"
Eva collapsed next to him, also crying. "You dunno what it's like to have everyone hate you! EEEEEEVRYONE hates meeeee!"
Almost all of the contestants stumbled around doing equally weird things.
Cody and Pinkie were sitting on a bench, approaching second base fast.
Gwen and Harold had somehow started to kiss.
Leshawna was dancing all on her own and was tripping over herself.
Sadie and Ezekiel were having a very serious conversation about Katie and Justin getting married and moving to Alaska to raise lamas.
Jacob and Lindsay decided to join Leshawna in dancing and were trying to do the Chicken dance in super speed.
Izzy and DJ were doing different renditions of her trademark phrase.
"ARGH! You'll never get me alive, mateys!"
DJ rolled on the ground laughing. He jumped up and stared at Izzy.
"You'll have to walk the plank!" he announced with a serious face.
Sadie and Justin joined in Sadie and Ezekiel's conversation and claimed that they would raise alpacas because 'That's where all the money is.'
Heather finally exited the bumper car ride and surveyed the madness going on. She decided to go and talk to the only person who seemed sane.
"What the hell is going on here?" she asked Noah.
He was watching everyone with the same perplexed look that she had on her face. "Like I know. They just all went crazy all of a sudden.
Bridgette wobbled as she suddenly appeared in front of Noah. "Hiiiiii Noah! Gesh what? I played cars!
"That's nice, Bridgette." He froze as he smelled something. "Wait a second." Noah grabbed her face and smelled her breath. "She smells like beer!"
"They're drunk? How did all of these idiots get so drunk?" Heather asked. "I didn't see alcohol at any of the parties."
"Who knows what Chris does to our real bodies," Noah watched Bridgette as she started to cry, asking for Geoff.
A Confessional: We interrupt Total Drama Virtual to bring you this important message.
Chris: (He is reading from a paper in a monotone voice.) Total Drama Virtual in no way condones or supports underage drinking. Some of our staff thought it would be funny to play such an immature prank. They are no longer part of the Total Drama team.

Phil: Um, us interns would like to apologize to the contestants for putting so much beer in most of the IV's.
Wendal: But it did force Chris to fire us!
Phil: Well, yeah that's what it was supposed to do.
Wendal: So now we don't have to test whatever dangerous challenge Chris thinks up next.
Phil: Yeah! Remember when he made us test that torture challenge and lowered us into a giant bee hive?
Wendal: (He shudders at the memory.) Remember when he made us go all the way into town to get him expensive caviar out of our own pockets and then used it in a pea shooter?
Phil: Remember when he snuck away from the show to hang out with girls and we had to cover for him when the producers came?
Wendal: Remember when he killed my puppy by kicking it too hard?

"What do you think we should do? I'm out of ideas." Noah strained to hear what Lindsay was telling Jacob. He vaguely heard the words 'string theory' before Heather answered him.
"I guess we should get them inside so they don't hurt themselves."
Noah turned to her with a critical look on his face.
"Okay, sorry, you don't like that idea. Just stop looking at me like that!" Heather babbled.
"Look at you like what?" Noah asked. "My face always looks like this."
Heather managed to trip on something nonexistent in front of her feet.
"Okay," she said, "I think I'm a little drunk."
Noah walked to Lindsay, Jacob, and Leshawna to attempt to get them inside.
"String theory is so totally aweshome!" Lindsay ranted. "It combines quantum mechanics and general relativity into one aweshome theory!"
Noah raised his eyebrows. Apparently, Lindsay got a lot smarter after being drunk. He lured the three inside with promises of a dance contest. As he walked past Ezekiel, Sadie, Katie, and Justin, he heard Sadie and Katie singing some song and doing hand motions.
"Happy lama, sad lama, mentally retarded lama…."
Heather snickered at the two as she tried to get them to go inside.
"Super lama, drama lama, big fat mama lama, Moose!"
Ezekiel and Justin burst into applause when the two girls finished their song. Ezekiel looked at Heather quizzically.
"Hevver, didn't you like the song?"
"Yeah, yeah, it was great. Can we go inside now?"
"We don't want to go anywhere wiv you!" Katie and Sadie stuck their tongues out at Heather.
"But don't you wanna to perform your song for everyone?"
All four people started to run (and trip) inside. Heather smirked and tripped over her own feet. She sat down hard and looked up at Noah as he appeared next to her.
"How come you're not drunk?" she asked.
"I have a high tolerance for alcohol. Runs in the family. Now let's get you inside." Noah lifted Heather and steered her into the house.
Soon, everyone was inside and they all started to fall asleep. Noah looked around at everyone.
Katie, Sadie, Ezekiel, and Justin had al fallen asleep together.
Gwen was resting her head on Harold's shoulder with her arms around him.
Trent and Eva were crying themselves to sleep.
Izzy and DJ had also fallen asleep together.
Pinkie and Cody had finally stopped making out.
Leshawna was curled up on her own on the floor, dead asleep. She rolled onto her back and slapped the air in front of her.
Bridgette was curled up in the corner, with tears running down her face in her sleep.
Noah looked down and sighed. Heather had attached herself to him before she fell asleep. Her grip on him was so tight that he couldn't get her to let go. Noah's eyes started to close, and before he knew it, he joined the rest of the contestants in sleep.
A/N: Well, I'm finish with another chapter.... Next chapter we have to say goodbye to two more campers! :(
