Chapter 40

"Rocking Knocked Out"

Last time on Total Drama Nation, our campers were invited to a luau. Not your everyday luau either. There was coconut throwing, roasted pig surfing, drinking (a lot on Geoff's part) and Chef in a grass skirt. *shudders* The Dancers lost thanks to Geoff's drunken stupor and Dale's sabotage tactics. Which is why it was no surprise when the two guys ended up on the chopping block. While the campers hate for Dale continued it was the drunk, lovesick, party boy who rode the Failure Copter, puking all the way to the cabana to be reunited with Bridgette. This week the campers are going on the road trip in a tour bus, after being given Chamomile tea that is. Who will dose off into Loserville? Who will avoid the hasty clutches of slumber? And with only 12 contestants remaining, who will be in the merge? You're getting sleep tonight of TOTAL DRAMA NATION!

~cue theme song

Courtney, Duncan, Eva, Noah, Katie and Sadie sat in the mess hall.

"Okay there's 12 of us left, only two more challenges till the merge." Courtney said.

"Then it's simple, the next two people in that copter have to be Dale & Leah." Noah said.

"Babe, I have an idea." Katie said.

"Let's hear it." Noah said.

"Well after the merge, when someone's eliminated they can't return, but if we get rid of Dale before the merge he could come back." Katie said.

"She does have a point." Sadie agreed with her bff.

"Then we eliminated Dale right after the merge? Sound good?" Eva asked.

"Yep, sounds great." Duncan said.

"Alright campers gather outside for your 19th challenge." Chris said.

They all gathered outside, looking at the giant bus in front of them.

"Geez, look the group. Only 12 of you left out of 30. Okay our new captains are: Noah and Katie. It'll be Noah's Noises vs. Katie's Kooks. The Noises are: Noah©, Justin, Sadie, Courtney, Duncan and Leah and the Kooks are: Katie©, Diamond, Eva, Dale, Cole and Tyler. Now this challenge is called Rocking Lullaby. Each one of you will drink a cup of Chamomile tea and then get on the tour bus. The challenge is to avoid falling asleep on the tour bus, while rock music is playing and the bus is shaking. The tea will make you drowsy, which will make for a real challenge. The last person awake wins immunity for their team. What you don't know is you already drank the tea, when Chef gave you tea this morning. Now get on the tour bus and we'll start the challenge." Chris said.

All 12 teens gathered onto the bus and Chef started to drive the bus around the island. Then the music began to blare.

CONFESSIONAL HUT

Cole-The only problem I have with this challenge is my dad's a traveling musician. I'm used to falling asleep on tour buses.

SADIE-I can't fall asleep unless, it's deathly quiet. It just doesn't happen

Cole wasn't lying cuz a half hour into the challenge, he was snoring away. Diamond became really concerned and tried to shake him awake.

"Cole wake up!" she yelled.

CONFESSIONAL HUT

EVA-Well if we lose, I know who I'm voting off

After about an hour Justin, Katie and Leah joined Cole in dreamland. Everyone seemed to have a system to staying awake. Duncan and Courtney were running around the bus, Tyler was doing exercises, Noah had Sadie rip out an arm hair every time he shut his eyes, Eva was doing pull ups on one of the support bars, Diamond had a bag full of Pixie Stix and Dale was one lap of the bus every time he was about to nod off.

After about 2 hours, Duncan and Courtney were collapsed in the middle of the walkway, Tyler had fallen asleep in the middle of a push up, Noah had become to the arm hair pulling and snoring loudly, Sadie was yawning, but couldn't sleep, Eva was still her pull ups, but their speed had decreased, Diamond's Pixie Stix idea had caused her to crash and Dale was out cold.

2 hours later, Eva was forcing herself to continue doing pull ups and Sadie was bored. Suddenly Sadie watched as in slow-mo as the fitness buff dropped from the bar.

"Sadie and the Noises win!" Chris announced.

Later that night Duncan and Courtney laid on Courtney's bed.

"It's great that we're still in this competition together." Courtney smiled and kissed Duncan.

"I here you babe." Duncan said kissing, her back.

"I love you so much." Courtney cooed and rested her head on Duncan's chest.

"Right back ya." Duncan smiled and kissed the top of her head.

CONFESSIONAL HUT

KATIE-Sorry, but you let us down

DIAMOND-I want your rich ass, off this island

Eva-I said I'd do it and I am

DALE-I didn't even have to do anything

Cole-I have to vote for you Dale

Tyler –Sorry bro, but you kinda dug your own grave

"Alright campers there are six of you sitting before me, but there's only five flowers in my hand. Let's start this up."

"Katie."

Katie cheered and ran over to grab her flower

"Diamond."

Diamond grabbed Cole's hands and grabbed her flower.

"Eva."

Eva stood up and swiped her flower from Chris with a growl.

Tyler was shaking in fear, Dale was looking around skeptically and Cole was getting really nervous.

"Tyler."

"Yeah, baby!" Tyler cheered and grabbed his flower

"Dale, Cole I only have one flower left, one of you will stay in the game and the other will ride the Failure Copter out of here. The last flower goes to…………………………………..

…………………………………..

…………………………………..

…………………………………..

…………………………………..Dale."

Dale grinned evilly Cole and grabbed his flower. Cole hung his head in defeat and Diamond began to cry.

"Cole, no!" Diamond cried.

"Babe it's okay. No one sabotaged me, this way my own fault. I can with that." Cole said and kissed her passionately.

"Bye baby!" Diamond cried and hugged him tight.

Cole kissed her again and looked her in the eyes.

"Win this for me, win if for the newbies and win it for us." Cole smiled and got into the Failure Copter.

As it rose, he sang the song he wrote for her.

"I love your blue eyes. I love your crazy pink hair. I love you my New York coffee girl."

Cole – I CAN ONLY BLAME MYSELF FOR THIS LOSS. I HOPE DIAMOND TAKES IT ALL THE WAY. GOOD LUCK MY COFFEE GIRL.
