Hey everybody. I am back with a new chapter! I coudn't write a new chapter until Christmas is because we were barrowing my grandmas computer and she took it back. I had to wait until Christmas because I got a laptop! This is the first new chapter written on my new laptop. I hope you all like this chapter. Like I mentioned last time two characters would be coming back. I have counted the votes. For the guys it was an obvious winner. You guys really wanted Mo back didn't you? For the girls it was a close one. Haley got back into the game by beating Lita with only one vote. It was a close one beet ween those two. Also like I have said in previous chapters I have every challenge planned out but I have one or two I'm considering changing if any of you still have any suggestions. Now here is chapter 12.

Chris: Last time on Total Drama High School, our remaining students had a music class challenge. Each student was given a random instrument which they had to learn to play and make a song as a group. The Screaming Backpacks weren't able to work together. Mandy led the Killer Pencils to victory with her musical talents and leadership skills. At the detention ceremony Jennifer was eliminated. Now only 10 remain. Who will be one step closer to winning the million dollars? Find out right now on Total...Drama...High School!

*Theme song starts*

Chris: *Walks into the cafeteria* Good morning. I have a very important announcement to make. You have all made it to the half way point of the game. From this point on the Screaming Pencils, and the Killer Pencils are no more. From now on you are now competing individually.

Jordyn: You mean no more teams? Yes! *Drags Dally to sit down with Michael* Now we can all eat together!

Dally: Yup, our trio back together again!

*Confessional*

Dally: I'm so happy all three of us made it to this far. We are going to rule this game!

*End confession*

*Confessional*

Gary: I'm not surprised I made it this far. I know I'm going to win. I just need to play the people who are left right. I have the four people I've been working with since the beginning of the game. Three of them I have an alliance with and five new people to mess with. This game is going to get interesting.

*End confession*

Chris: Also for making it half way through the game, no one will be going home tonight. Todays challenge is just for reward. Today we will be going on a field trip!

Amanda: A field trip? Where to?

Chris: A local zoo.

Delacroix: We are going to a zoo?

Chris: That' right. Now follow me outside to the bus. Theres a couple of surprises waiting for you.

*Front of the school*

Jennifer: *Walks onto the bus* What are you doing here?

Gary: What's who doing here?

Mo: Hey guys. I'm back in the game.

Amanda: But we voted you out.

Haley: You voted me out too but I'm back too!

Gary: What are they doing here? They're out of the game. They shouldn't be here.

Chris: We had a poll on the Total Drama website for two contestants to come back and these were the lucky two with the most votes.

Jennifer: Your back! *Runs up and kisses Mo*

Mandy: Since when are you two dating?

Mo: Since the library challenge. We started talking and then, I don't know. We kissed. After that the challenge ended and me and her didn't get any book marks. Since my team lost I was voted out.

Jennifer: And I was able to stay in the game.

Chris: Alright everybody get moving. We have to get to zoo early so we don't have to wait in long lines.

*The zoo*

Gary: Chris. Theres nobody here.

Randall: Is this place even open?

Chris: Yes it is. Now come on and remember to stay with the group.

*Bird cages*

Chris: These are birds students. *Points to the birds* They are feathered creatures that have wings and can fly in the air.

Mo: Lets ditch this place Jennifer.

*Bathrooms*

Mo: This is better than that tour from Chris. *Stars making out with Jennifer*

*Monkey cages*

Haley: *Walks up to Mandy and Amanda*Hey girls. Haven't seen you two for a while.

Amanda: That's because you were voted off.

*Confessional*

Haley: I have never really gotten along with other girls before. For some reason they just don't like me. I ha ve always gotten along with guys better.

*End confession*

Haley: I'm just going to go over there then. *Walks up to Dally* Hey Dally. Whats up?

Dally: Haley. It's so great to have you back in the game. I was really disappointed to see you go first.

*Confessional*

Jordyn: I went through a lot of trouble to get rid her for hitting on my boy friend, and now she's back in the game? I have to take her down.

*End confession*

*Confessional*

Haley: After I was eliminated I found exactly why I was eliminated. Apparently Jordyn thought I was hitting on so called boy friend so she had me voted off. Me and him just became friends. Nothing was going to happen beet ween us. She thought I was hitting on him before, I'll definetly be hitting on him now.

*End confession*

Haley: Yeah I'm happy to be back. I was kind of disappointed be the first out but then I got to come back? I was surprised that I was one of the most popular of the eliminated contestants.

Jordyn: I don't like that girl Michael. We have to get rid of her.

Michael: You don't like her? But she's really cool.

Jordyn: Look we just need to get rid of her ASAP.

Dally: Hey guys. This is boring. We should just wander around another part of the zoo.

*Shark tanks*

Dally: Now this is what I'm talking about! Looking at these awesome sharks is way better than watching those monkeys throwing poop at eachohter.

*Bear cages*

Chris: And watch as the bear takes a nap on the rocks.

Gary: Are you sure it isn't dead?

Chris: No it's not. Now everyone follow me to the see the giraffes. *Walks to the giraffe exhibit*

Gary: Hey did you guys see where Jennifer went?

Randall: No why?

Gary: We need to find her. I need to talk to her.

Natalie: I saw her go with Mo somewhere.

Gary: I'll deal with her later. Follow me. *Walks somewhere*

*Tiger cage*

Delacroix: Did you guys notice we're the only ones left?

Mandy: Yeah where did everyone else go?

Amanda: I don't know but I can't stand to be on this tour for much longer. I' m out of here. *Walks away*

Mandy: Looks like it's just us.

Delacroix: I'm sorry but I'm going too. I don't think I can listen to Chris explaining what each animal looks like, and does. I'm going to catch up on my book. *Walks away*

Chris: Congratulations Mandy!

Mandy: For what?

Chris: You have just won the first individual challenge. The challenge was to stay with the group. Everyone else bailed out which means they are out, and you are the winner.

Mandy: What do I win?

Chris: You get an actual meal, not cooked by Chef Hatchet.

*Confessional*

Mandy: I can't believe I actually won a challenge! To bad it wasn't invisibility but who cares! I get to eat an actual meal! Living on Chefs crappy food for the past few weeks has been terrible.

*End confession*

Chris: Oh and Mandy you get to buy a souvenir from the souvenir store.

Mandy: Really? *Runs into the souviner store and comes out with a toy panda* I'm going to name you Mr. Panda!

Gary: I can't believe she won the challenge.

Mandy: I just followed the rules. He said to stay with the group and that's what I did.

Chris: And that wraps up another exciting episode of Total Drama High School. Tune in next time for the most exciting episode yet!

I hope you guys liked the chapter. Merry Christmas everybody!
