Disclaimer: I don't own TDI or TDA. I do own Pinkie and Jacob though.

"Cody!" Pinkie yelled, glomping onto her boyfriend.

"Pinkie… can't…. breathe," Cody gasped.

Duncan arrived at the Dock of Shame a few seconds later and grabbed Courtney. The two started kissing passionately.

Jacob sat on the edge of the cliff, watching the sun go down. He whipped his head around as he heard the bushes behind him rustle. Lindsay stepped out of the foliage. She came and sat next to him. Once she was out of sight of the camera she started to talk to him. "So, how's your plan going?" she asked quietly.

"What plan?" he whispered back innocently.

She rolled her eyes. "Don't give me that. The plan where you seduce multiple girls."

"I don't know what you're talking about," he maintained.

"I was just thinking about it. I was wondering if you were just doing it because you're a playboy if you had some sort of ulterior motive?"

"What sort of ulterior motive could I have?"

"If you're a girls' boyfriend, you have a lot of say in who they vote for in this competition."

"She hit it on the nose! How did she guess that?" he thought. "You know, what you're doing isn't so nice either. You're tricking everyone!" he hissed at her.

Lindsay smirked. "I'm just pretending to be someone I'm not. You're messing with teenage girls' hearts."

"It's not like they'll ever know. I'm good at what I do," he said proudly.

"But not as good as I am," Lindsay thought. "Really? How did I find out so easily then?"

"You're, you're!" he sputtered. She let him squirm for a minute.

"Awww, you're so cute!" she told him. "So, how did you pick your victims?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"Because I know your secret, obviously," she said.

"I picked the girls who seemed the most unhappy in their relationships," he muttered.

"Awww! How noble of you! But why not go for only unattached girls?"

He smiled. "Now where's the fun in that?"

Izzy hung upside down from a tree, looking around her. "I don't see one…. I need to find one....."

Bridgette approached Gwen in the ex-Screaming Gophers cabin where she was sketching. Noah looked up and contemplated leaving but decided against it. He returned his attention to his book. "Hey, Gwen," Bridgette said. "Can we talk?"

Gwen put down her sketch pad. "Yeah, sure. What's up?"

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you this before," Bridgette said slowly.

"Okay. What is it?"

"I…. um… I….." Gwen waited patiently while Bridgette gathered the courage to say it. "I broke up with Geoff," she finally spit out.

"What!?" Gwen yelled in shock. Noah looked slightly amazed at the shocking news.

Bridgette looked down sadly. "It just wasn't working out."

"Working out?" Gwen said incredulously. "You two were practically attached!"

Bridgette shrugged. "I did it when I went to the Playa de Losers."

"Chris has a virtual Playa de Losers here too?"

"The jerk probably couldn't resist the footage he might get from it. Besides, it's a lot closer to this island than it was before. You could practically swim there."

"Hmmm," Noah thought. "That has definite possibilities."

Duncan and Courtney were sitting on the beach, watching the ocean. "So, Princess, what's been up with you?" Duncan asked.

"You wouldn't guess what's going on at the resort!" Courtney said quickly.

"Oh my gosh, what is it?" Duncan said mockingly in a high squeaky voice.

She smacked him playfully and continued. "Geoff and Beth hooked up." (1)

Duncan's jaw dropped. "But the dude is so into Bridgette! And with Beth?"

"I know, it's weird!"

Noah stood, frozen, behind them. "I just wanted to talk to Duncan, and I happen to hear that! Why do I seem to be attracting gossip today?" he thought. He quietly walked away.

"Deej, Deej!" Izzy yelled. DJ turned and saw her racing towards him holding something behind her back. "I got you a present!" She skidded to a stop in front of him and showed him what was in her hand. "It's a bunny!" she said unnecessarily.

He started to pet it. "It's so cute," he crooned. The bunny nuzzled his hand.

"Name it, name it!" Izzy squealed.

"How about Izzy Jr.?" he suggested.

"You want to name it after me?"

"Of course."

Her cheeks went a little pink. "Thanks. We can call her IJ for short."

Lindsay stiffened suddenly. "I've got to go. See you later!" she told Jacob. She stood up and dived off the cliff.

Jacob watched her go, wondering about her sudden exit. He heard the bushes behind him rustle. He turned and saw Eva step out of them. "It's time for the ceremony," she told him.

"How did you know where to find me?" he asked.

"This seems like your favorite spot on the island," she said quickly.

"I guess it is," he said casually. "Man, Lindsay has amazing hearing!"

Chris stood by the campfire, looking at all of the campers sitting on the logs. The fire flickered, making his face look even eviler to the campers than it already did. "It's time to find out which one of you suckers is the loser today," he told them. "I've only got fourteen marshmallows on this plate, which means that, as usual, one of you is going home."

"Get on with it," Duncan muttered.

"Yeah, seriously," Courtney agreed.

Chris shot daggers at them. "Shut up! I can still send you back, you know!"

Courtney rolled her eyes. "Carry on, please," she said sarcastically.

"As I was saying," he continued. "I've got fourteen marshmallows. One of you is going home."

"But we already know that either Noah or Ezekiel is going home," Gwen interrupted. "Why do you need to give out the rest of the marshmallows?"

"Stop killing my mojo!" Chris yelled.

"Man, he must have no life," Noah said. Chris threw the plate of marshmallows at him. Noah ducked, and the marshmallows went everywhere.

"Anyway," he started again. "I've got fourteen marshmallows-"

"But you don't have marshmallows anymore!" Izzy said.

"AUGH!" Chris screamed. "Stop ruining my fun!"

"But it's so much fun for us!" Izzy said happily.

"Could you just tell us who goes home already?" Duncan asked.

Chris pouted. "Ezekiel."

The prairie boy shrugged. "Oh well. I'll get to see Sadie, eh."

The contestants trooped over to the Dock of Shame and waved to Ezekiel as the Boat of Losers chugged away.

Chris appeared behind them, smiling for the camera. "You guys better get some rest! You're going to need it for tomorrow!"

"Wow, he recovers quickly," DJ commented.

"He probably just thought about what he's going to do to us tomorrow," Heather muttered darkly.

(1)- Yes, this is shameless plugging for my other story. However, it is the story of what is happening at the Playa de Losers, so obviously Courtney would mention it. :p So go read, I'm Here for You everyone! It will probably be the first Beth/Geoff story you have ever read!

Ah, I love being mean to Chris. It makes being an author so worthwhile. :)

I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGE! THAT'S WHY I'M WRITING IN ALL CAPS!!!!!!!!!!
