A/N: For the record, I have no FREAKIN' idea about boats so I would love for all of you to bear with me. I actually finished this chapter before I posted the first. I wanted to see how my first chapter went with you all and thanks to my first reviewers I am delighted to say I will be continuing my story. Chapter 3 is already in the works!
Chris "Last time, on Total Drama Luxury Tour… our soon to be shipmates return to Hawaii for the new season. Our past three winners chose their teams and now the three teams begin their first challenge of building a boat. Will the teams succeed, or will old conflict rise anew and tear them apart? Find out right here on Total… Drama… Luxury Tour!"
The host turns to Chef, "Does 'shipmates' sound good?"
Chef "Eh, put it on the maybe list"
*cues theme music*
Chris "Welcome back! Alright bluejackets! Any questions before we get started?
Leshawna "Is this a race on who builds the boat the fastest? Or who builds the best design?
Chris "Both will be taken into consideration"
Each team huddles up to figure out how to get started on their first challenge of ship.
**Screaming Admirals**
Duncan "Alright, first we get the stuff we need done first, bells and whistles later!"
DJ "I just hope it floats, you know I'm not so good at swimming!"
Beth "We don't have much to work with"
"Don't worry, I built a boat before. I am sure I can do just as good on a bigger model," Duncan reminded after recollecting his experience in Sweden, "DJ, Eva, you two and I move all the heavy parts. Beth, Doris, you two work on the sail. Gwen, Beth, Leshawna, work on the interior"
Gwen "Good leadership, Duncan"
"I learned from organizing juvie breaks," Duncan and Gwen exchanged chuckles.
C.C.
DJ "I really hope my curse finally lifted. I think it may be what destroyed my team last time"
Harold "Duncan just won't lay off the Doris names, gosh!"
Geoff "I really hope we finish this soon, feels like forever since I made out with Bridge!"
Eva "Okay, I don't like being bossed around, but since this is my first season since the island, I better control myself"
**Killer Captains**
Cody gives a depressed sigh after watching Duncan and Gwen work together.
"Focus, Cody!" Heather angrily barked, "Okay team, this is what's going to happen. Since our muscle is lacking, we're going to need Trent and Courtney to do all the heavy lifting"
"What?" Courtney responded angrily.
"You seemed so confident back in Greece," Heather smugly reminded. "Bridgette, you know water better than all of us, any ideas?"
"Shipbuilding is a bit of a stretch from surfing but perhaps I can make something work with the bottom of the boat since I know what floats" Bridgette pointed out.
"What do you want me to do, eh?" Ezekiel asked eagerly.
"Either build the sail or be our anchor, homeschool!" Heather yelled, clearly unforgiving over the last experience she had with the prairie boy.
"Ooo, I can weave us one! Not the ideal material but it still can work!" Sierra jumped in, "Also I can use that skill for the exterior design of the ship!"
"Alright. Cody, Katie, any ideas?"
"Don't worry, the Codeman has already drawn up some blueprints!" The gap toothed geek announced proudly.
"Not bad, Cody" Trent praises.
"I suppose that is impressive, but if you build us a steel Gwen, I will drown you!" Heather threatened.
"Well as for me, I repaired motorcycles before. Maybe that talent can be applied here" Trent added.
C.C.
Cody *sighs* "Gwen…"
Sierra "Okay, this is a bit bad. Every Total Drama fan knows that the team with "Screaming" in its name always dominates the team with "Killer" in its name. I really hope we can overcome that. But hey, anything is possible with CODY on your team!"
Courtney "Ugh! I cannot stand Heather being team leader. I gotta get people to vote her off with me. Bridgette, Katie and Trent don't like her, so maybe I can work an alliance with them. After she is gone, I will devote all of my power on CRUSHING Duncan and Gwen!"
Heather "Cody better stay focused on our team. I will not allow him to let Gwen distract him… because I need a strong alliance of course"
Ezekiel "Heather is still mad at me for what happened. I don't get it, I said 'I was sorry' eh"
Katie "I miss Sadie…"
**Rabid Skippers**
"Alright everyone, let's do it!" Owen encouraged.
"That's it?" Noah asked skeptically.
"Hm? I just thought that sending everyone off to do their thing would work out in the end"
"We need designs, schematics, and actual ingenuity towards shipbuilding" Noah reminded.
"Don't be such a naysayer, Noah. You forget, both me and Owen are experienced shipbuilders" Alejandro brought his façade to Owen's side and wrapped his arm around him, "Come on team, we can do this!"
"Anything you say, Alejandro…" Sadie dreamingly applauded.
"Thanks, Al" Owen said graciously leaving Noah scoffing.
"Cadet Izzy is better at DEstructing than CONstructing" Izzy proudly announced.
Lindsay picks up a beam and accidently bonking Tyler on the head, knocking him unconscious.
"Oops, sorry Tanner"
"Okay, Tyler is incapacitated. Come on team, we can do this!" Alejandro cheered.
C.C.
Noah "People don't change. They learn, but they never change"
Sadie "Alejandro is sooooo dreamy…"
Justin "I don't get it, Alejandro comes out of nowhere, and all of a sudden I'm invisible, I'm more beautiful than he is, aren't I?"
Owen "We so have this, I knew Al wasn't so bad!"
Alejandro "If Owen calls me "Al," ONE more time…
Tyler *sits unconsciously on the confession toilet* "…"
Chris "Hurry up, sea dogs! Hehe… "sea dogs," that's a keeper"
The teams work hard to assemble their ships. Thanks to Cody's simple and comprehensive schematics, the Captains had the edge in design. However the muscle advantage in terms of construction speed goes to the Admirals. As for the Skippers, they are going at a steady pace.
"You call that a ship, Skeeze?" Heather taunted the punk and his work in progress.
"I call it the 'S.S. Suck it Heather'" Duncan responded as Gwen laughed at the burn.
"Jason, you gotta work harder!" Lindsay scolded.
"Sorry, it's just that I never did this kind of thing on my own without charming someone else to do it for me, also this metalwork might break one of my nails" Justin apologized.
"Don't worry, Cadet Izzy will hold them for you!" Izzy announced as she grabs one of Justin's fingers and tears the fingernail right off.
"!" The model girlishly screamed due to a torn index finger.
**Screaming Admirals**
"Doing well so far, guys" The punk praised.
"Umm, Duncan?" The goth approaches Duncan.
"What is it, babe?"
"I need to tell you something really personal"
"Shoot"
"It's just that… we need a bathroom installed in the ship…"
"Hehe, no problem, babe. Hey dweeb, get us a toilet seat why don't ya?"
"Alright, gosh!" Harold obeyed, reluctantly.
"Hey, where did Geoff go?" Leshawna asked after noticing his absence.
**Killer Captains**
"Is that flag done yet?" Heather inquired impatiently.
"Here it is eh-woah!" Ezekiel said carrying the flag before tripping over tearing it, "Oops, sorry eh"
"Ugh, you are completely USELESS!"
C.C.
Heather "I thought I would get back at him by working him to death, but it looks like the inbred destroys everything he touches"
Ezekiel "Come on Zeke, your better than this, eh? I can't get voted off right away for a THIRD time!"
"There, the bottom is done!" Bridgette proudly exclaimed to herself.
"Good job, Bridgette" Trent praised the surfer girl, "I'm going to help Courtney with the sides"
The pair parted as Bridgette moves on to her next chore before the "party admiral" approaches her.
"Bridgey bear!" Geoff says confidently, "wanna bail from our groups and make out behind that tree?
"Sweetie, I can't. We need to focus on the challenge!"
"But I can't stand being away from you, honey! It was hard enough watching you from the sidelines last season" Geoff protested, "And what if one of the guys trick you like Al did in the Yukon"
"Don't worry, Trent and Cody are two of the nicest guys around. Oh and rest assured, Ezekiel is definitely not a threat" Bridgette assured.
"Okay, I guess" Geoff reluctantly caved and proceeds back to his team, "I'll try to cope"
Bridgette sighs and returns to work as Heather glares at her for what had transpired.
**Rabid Skippers**
With Tyler unconscious and Justin still in pain for his torn finger, the team had slowed down but close to their goal.
"Should we work on walling inside?" Owen asked Alejandro.
"I'd think if we left it as is, we'd be able to earn rooming after winning a challenge" Alejandro assured.
"Set up the flag pole and that should do it" Noah announced.
"Come on seafarers, it's been eight hours!" Chris shouted impatiently.
"Cut us some slack, eight hours is rather impressive actually" The bookworm annoyingly remarked.
**Killer Captains**
"Hurry up and make a rudder!" Heather ordered, "The other teams are almost done!"
As Trent and Cody hurry to assemble it, Sierra gets an idea.
"Sierra, where are you going?" Heather inquired.
"I'll be RIGHT back!"
**Screaming Admirals**
"Great job, admirals! Now push! DJ and Eva pushed the massive ship towards the ocean as Geoff, Duncan, and Harold pulled. Gwen, Beth, and Leshawna cheer them on. Fortunately they were already close to water, otherwise pulling a ship almost the size of the Total Drama jumbo jet would have been a tad trickier.
"Come on, ginger biscuit" Leshawna cheered.
In no time at all, the Admiral ship made it to sea.
"Looks like the Screaming Admirals set sail first" Chris announced as the team cheered.
"Alright, we won!" Gwen exclaimed, hugging Duncan.
"Don't be so sure, gothy. I said both quantity of time and quality of the boat will be taken into consideration, and yours' seem a bit rushed" Chris reminded.
"You gotta be kidding me" Duncan groaned.
"You'd think by four seasons you'd be used to this by now"
**Rabid Skippers**
"Sail's in place, let's head out!" Alejandro ordered as Noah and Izzy brought the wounded aboard.
With Owen pushing and Alejandro pulling the boat gradually made it to sea.
"Looks like the Skippers have finished as well. Ooo… I like the carving design" Chris complimented.
"What carving design?" Noah asked finally noticing all the Izzy hieroglyphics carved onto their ship.
"Sometimes leaving Cadet Izzy alone with a knife is a good thing" Izzy proudly pointed out.
"I'm leaning towards the Skippers, but let's see how the Killer Captains are doing"
**Killer Captains**
"Arrgh! Let's just hurry up and finish this!" Heather yelled to her teammates. Cody puts in the final touches to the rudder. He then rushes to Ezekiel's side and helps pull the ship while Trent pushes.
"Hurry up men… and I use that term loosely…" Courtney ordered, angering the three boys, "and where is Sierra?"
In a few more minutes, the ship is finally pushed into water with the boys climbing up, joining Heather, Courtney, Bridgette and Katie.
Chris notices the slowest team finally finishing, "It's about time, well I guess your design is alright, but I am gonna have to give it to the Rabi-
"WAIT!" Sierra screamed as she ran to her ship carrying something to the bow of the ship, "Let us put the final touch to our ship!"
Sierra attaches to the front of the ship a statue of Chris McLean she weaved at the last second. "There, how about now, Chris?"
"I stand corrected, victory to the Killer Captains!" The ego-maniacal host announced. The victorious team cheers while the others groan. "Well on that note, I am feeling generous, so there will be no eliminations today!" The losing teams cheer up after hearing this. "As for our winners, Chef, tell them what they won!"
"Interior decorating! During your stay at the next destination, professionals carpenters will install personal cabins, a bathroom, and a dining room for your fantastic maiden voyage" Chef formally announced.
"Yes!" Heather cheers.
"Oh shoot, we forgot to put in a toilet!" Owen cries out. "And I have to use the potty!"
"Grrr…" Alejandro subtly gritted his teeth.
"Well before you yachters begin your maiden voyage, I'm gonna give you all these GPSs. They are quite similar to the ones you used at Drumheller," Chris says as Chef throws one on each ship. "To get to your next destination, you all will have to do the steering and navigating yourselves. No unlicensed chef piloting for you this time"
"You serious?" Duncan shouts at his moderately sociopathic host.
"Hey, at least we are giving you all supply crates at every stop. Can't have you all starving to death before I am through with you, hehe! As for me and Chef, we will be riding the chopper awaiting your ships at your next location. Now without further ado, happy sailing! We will be awaiting you making port to your next destination and challenge!" Chris and Chef take off on their helicopter.
**Screaming Admirals**
"Me and Gwen can navigate the ship for the night and we can rotate shifts from there" Duncan instructed.
"You and Harold are so lucky" Geoff muttered, "Bridge never felt so far away from me"
"It's for the best, Geoff" Gwen comforted, "You and her kind of hold each other back in terms of competition"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Calm down there, party boy. She only means that you get distracted easily" Duncan assured.
Geoff only sighs and goes inside to the hollowed lobby they called the interior.
**Killer Captains**
"I have to say, we did pretty good today. Who wants to man the ship tonight?" Heather asked her team.
"I'll do it, eh!" Ezekiel graciously offered.
"Don't you touch anything!" Heather snapped at him.
"Isn't this romantic, Cody? You and me… on a cruise… together?" Sierra spoke romantically to her geeky crush.
"Umm… I'll navigate for the team, Heather!" Cody suddenly felt the urge to volunteer.
"Okay, I'll help you, too! In case you get… sleepy…" Sierra eagerly offered.
"No, I mean, we can't let him get distracted or we'll go off course" Heather stated. As soon as she proceeds to walk away she shoves Ezekiel off the ship.
"HELP! MAN OVERBOARD!" Homeschool yelled to his team as Cody instructed Sierra to help him.
Meanwhile inside the ship, Courtney is talking to Bridgette, Trent and Katie, "Listen you three, I need you to help me get rid of Heather"
"Umm… I'm not sure…" Bridgette mentioned hesitantly, "I mean Heather had done some mean things, but I think by now we should at least give her a second chance"
"Bridgette, I thought we were friends. And what about you Trent, don't you remember what she did to sabotage your relationship with Gwen?"
Trent shakes his head, "Don't think that really matters anymore"
"Am I the only one who remembers all that Heather did?"
"Well I guess if I had to vote someone, it would be her or Ezekiel." Katie pointed out.
"Let's just focus on winning and worry about who leaves first later" Bridgette says, trying to ease the tension.
**Rabid Skippers**
"Why don't you all hit the hay? I'll navigate for us, tonight. It's the least I can do for all that I had done last season" Alejandro suggested to everyone on the deck of the ship.
"Wow, thanks Al!" Owen graciously waved goodnight to the Latin heartthrob before following everyone else inside the ship.
C.C.
Alejandro "You're first, Owen."
Noah "I will not buy into that eel's lies. This time, however, I will be MUCH more subtle when dealing with him.
"Ugh… what happened?" Tyler asked, finally regaining conscience.
"Oh, sorry Tyler. I accidentally bonked you in the head" Lindsay embarrassingly answered.
"Aww… I can't stay mad at the cutest girl in the world! Besides you remembered my name!"
"Aww… thank you!" The blonde beauty said before embracing her uncoordinated boyfriend.
"Umm, Izzy?" Justin hesitantly asks.
"Cadet Izzy!" The psycho corrected.
"Umm… Cadet Izzy, can I have my fingernail back?"
"Cadet Izzy ate it" Izzy blatantly answered leaving everyone speechless.
Chris "Well there you have it, our first challenge with no elimination. Will our young salts' ships make it to all the numerous destinations, both new and familiar, or will they be visiting an early trip to Davy Jone's locker? Find out next time on Total…Drama… Luxury Tour!
