It has been a hell of a long time. Jeeeesus.

Sorry for the hiatus, sorry for last chapter, and... I dunno, sorry for that thing with the blender, your goldfish and the neighbours' annoying kid?

Although you probably had mixed feelings about that one yourself.

I'll try to focus on making up somewhat less... weirdass challenges. Last one was just out of control with the elevators and the coffins and the Whack-A-DJ shit.

I'll try to keep the updates somewhat frequent from now on, but with the way I tend to handle school, things could get hectic around here.

So... Yeah.

Disclaimer: ...You know.

Happy reading!

"Last time on Total Drama Tournament: Tension ran ever higher as the campers went down the path of Hell. At least, that's what the producers told me the last challenge represented. Whatever. Aaanyway, Justin got eliminated. And to believe I once thought we could be related. Ha! He wishes. And Geoff... Oh my god, that was just the funniest... He got mauled by a bear! Stop, you're killing me here!"

"Oh, and Alejandro and Noah hooked up. Shocker, I know!"

Chris walked into the lodge.

"Bridge, it'll be okay!" Courtney said, with her arm around Bridgette's shoulder. "N-No it won't be-because Geoff is in the, in the hospital, and Bruno is gone, and I don't even- Oh god, I don't even know where they sent him!" Bridgette stammered while crying hysterically. Courtney, Gwen and Sadie were trying to comfort her.

"So, Noah." Eva said, completely ignoring the sobbing girl. "You and Alejandro hooked up, huh?" Noah spit out his water. "No we didn't! What the hell, Eva! How could you even think-" "Courtney saw you making out." "We didn't make out! We kissed. Once. It's nothing big." "Nothing big? This is Alejandro. The guy who fed your little geek crush to the sharks? ...Oh. So that's what this is about. You're trying to forget about Cody by dating Alejandro? That's just a new low." Noah got up, leaning on the table. "At least I had a low! You've never even been up!" Eva got up as well, clenching her fist. Right then, Cody decided to sit down at the table, before looking at the two of them with his eyebrow raised.

Noah and Eva sat back down, continuing the inspection of their so-called food.

"So, Alejandro, huh? You know, I think it's funny how no one even questions whether any of you swing the other way." Cody said. "Hell, I don't even know if this one swings the normal way." Eva said, pointing at Noah.

[Come on, this is funny! Shrimp deserves to be made fun of every now and again.] - Eva

"I swear, does everyone know?" Noah grumbled. "Pretty much. Well, everyone but Katie. We decided it would probably be better if she didn't know. You know, prevent the inevitable homocide." Cody replied. Alejandro walked by their table. "Hey babe." He whistled and walked off. Noah sighed. "Hey, are you even sure you want to be with him? You don't seem too enthusiastic about the whole thing, and you're the one in it!" Noah looked sideways for a second. "It's just that it's a hassle. I mean, with the competition and everyone backstabbing each other..." "Something your new boyfriend excels at, by the way..." Eva noted.

"I know..." Noah said, looking down at his food. "I'm just saying, for all you know he's about to get you in trouble. You know he's probably just playing you, right?" Eva pushed. "I know. But I think I don't mind. Can I be played for once?" Noah answered before getting up to throw his food away.

"So, what did Bridgette say?" Duncan said as Gwen came over and sat next to him. "Since when do you care about Bridgette?" Gwen asked. "I don't. Just that Geoff's my pal and all." Duncan replied. "He's my pal as well!" Trent piped up. Gwen and Duncan stared at him for a second. "...Right. Well, Geoff's been taken to the hospital, seeing as Chef's main techniques for healing people are hitting them, injecting stuff into people even though he doesn't know what he injecting into them, and occasionally making out with people." Trent cringed. Bad memories. "And the bear?" Duncan inquired. "Yeah, he's still missing." Gwen said. "Heh, it was pretty funny when it pummeled Justin..." Duncan chuckled. "I'm gonna miss that guy." "Who, Geoff?" Gwen asked. "No... well, yeah, kinda, but Bruno as well." Gwen smirked. "You're just a big softie, aren't you." "Could people please stop saying that?"

[I don't like people who call me a softie. Me! I escaped out of juvie in my audition video. Me!] - Duncan

"People!" Chris said. "And Heather." Heather threw her trash at him from her spoon. Chris stepped aside, causing Heather to hit Chef instead. "Missed me!" Chris exclaimed. "Anyway, I have come to tell you that the teams are officially disbanded!" Heather ran away from her team's table instantly. Katie and Sadie ran over to each other, hugging each other and squeeing. "We made it to the merge!"

"You sure did. Unfortunately..." Chris said. "Anyway, we do have a challenge here, guys! The beach, in twenty minutes. The west bunks are now the boys' bunks, and the east bunks go to the girls. So move your shit and get to the beach!"

"So, where are you gonna bunk?" Cody asked Noah as the two walked over to the western bunks. "I don't know. I just hope I can manage to stay away from Duncan, because I do not want to know what he's like in his sleep." Cody laughed. "I hear you there." Alejandro caught up with them. "Hey, Noah." Alejandro put his arm around Noah's waist as they walked. Noah squirmed for a bit. "Uh, hi."

"So, where are you going to bunk? Duncan and Trent are bunking in the southwest bunks, so if Cody went there as well, we could have the north bunks to ourselves..." Alejandro winked at Noah. "Uh, I'm not sure whether that's such a good idea..." Cody said. "No, it's fine! You go bunk with Duncan." Noah said, walking off with Alejandro, leaving Cody standing there. "Well, that was odd."

"Eeee!" Sadie squeed, running into the southeast cabin. Katie responded with a similar squee, hugging Sadie. "Okay, I'm out!" Heather said, dumping her clothes into her suitcase as Gwen and Eva walked in. "What are you doing here?" Heather asked. "We were hoping you'd move over to the north bunks, seeing as Courtney refuses to bunk with me." Gwen answered. "Oh, gladly. Anything to get away from these freaks!" Heather growled. "Come on, Sierra!" She dragged Sierra out with her. "Why does she have to drag..." Gwen started, but Eva interrupted her. "Well, do you want Sierra in here with us?" "...Good point."

"You get out!" "No! You get out!" Noah walked over to Cody, who stood at the door. "They can't decide who goes, huh?" "Nope." Cody said, putting his suitcase down. His arm was getting tired. "They've been doing this for half an hour now." "Well, I'm about to make this really easy." Noah walked in between them. "Hi." Duncan and Trent stopped yelling at each other in order to glare at Noah. "I've got bad news for the both of you: You're not going anywhere." Duncan grabbed Noah's lip. "Yeah, I think you should get a botched piercing before you can tell me what to do!" "Hmm, well, I think you'ww wisten to Ajejandwo..." Noah said. Duncan let go of his lip. "He insists we get the north bunks to ourselves. Sorry, honey." Trent raised his eyebrow. "Really? Do you think that's a good idea? Alone with Alejandro?" "That's my boyfriend, you know. I'll be fine. Point is, no one's moving there except for Al and I." Noah walked out, leaving the three boys. "That was... even odder..." Cody said.

"I really hope he doesn't call Alejandro Al to his face..." Trent remarked.

"Yay. Poles. More recycling." Gwen said. "Isn't it great?" Chris grinned. "Today's challenge is the Island Pole Fest!" "The say what?" Heather said, while dragging Sierra along.

[I swear, stalker sap has gone from loonie to batshit crazy! I now long for the days when she could function like a human being! And... wait... the teams are disbanded... Why am I still dragging her around?] - Heather

Sierra had pretty much gone from insane to... more insane. After failing once again to get rid of the restraining order, she had been reduced into a near cataconic state, rocking back and forth constantly, muttering "Cody... Cody..." under her breath. Heather dropped her on the sand, and Chris looked at her for a second before continuing his explanation. "The Great Island Pole Fest is an age old tradition, started last night in my office when I came up with it. It starts with the Ocean Dance Ceremony, where the traditional dance will be performed by all of you. At least, you'll try."

"...Did you hit your head or something?" Heather said. "Get on the poles!" Chris yelled. "Alright, my god!"

The campers (excluding Sierra) got on one of the poles in the circle. "After you." Alejandro said, letting Noah past. He then got on the pole next to Noah's, winking at the know-it-all. Courtney helped the still crying Bridgette on her pole, and then slapped her when she wouldn't stop crying. Bridgette looked at her with a shocked expression on her face. "I'm sorry, but I want you to stay, and if you keep crying, you can't participate." Bridgette sniffed, but nodded.

"Uh..." Cody stammered as the makeshift dock made for the campers sank after Trent got onto his pole. "Only eight people will continue onto the next part of the challenge." Chris said, from his pole in the middle of the circle. "So that means four people will get ejected in this part. Literally!" Chris chuckled. "Uh oh." Noah deadpanned. "You people have to copy my killer dance moves during this part of the challenge." "Good thing Leshawna was voted off already!" Heather quipped. "If you fail to do so, Chef will launch you off the pole. He's got a remote control, as you can see. If he presses a button, the pole of the loser in question will shoot up, launching the camper off." Chris turned around. "Sierra! You gonna sit this one out?" "Cody..." "Hmmkay..."

[Cooodyyy...] - Sierra

"So! Start the music!" Chris started dancing, and the campers started to copy his "moves". "What the hell are you doing?" Heather said, copying Chris's moves as Cody was already ejected from the pole. As he landed on the beach, Sierra ran after him, but he managed to run to the cabins and lock the door. "What the hell are we all doing?" Duncan said as the campers continued to copy the moves.

"How is this a traditional dance?" Alejandro asked. "This is the Running Man!" "Well, every tradition's gotta start somewhere, and this one just starts now!" Chris continued to dance and Noah misstepped. Alejandro grabbed him before Chef could launch him. Noah blushed, but continued dancing as Alejandro put him back down. "That is so cheating!" Heather hissed. She was then ejected.

[That was weird. Maybe he was being really nice? I'm sure that was it. He's so nice! I'm sure he just had a bad day the third season. ...The entire third season.] - Katie

[...She still has no idea...] - Sadie

That was when Chris really got... funky.

[Well, that was just hilarious.] - Heather

[Are you kidding me? I mean... Seriously?] - Noah

[Well, that was the most embarrassing thing I've ever done in my life...] - Gwen

"Ah, this is great, Chris! The dance is flowing through my veins!" Alejandro said, dancing. Noah rolled his eyes. "Never heard anyone have fun while being forced to dance before..." "But Noah, dance is wonderful! Come on! Feel the energy!" Alejandro said. "Sure, sure."

"Okay, I think this is one of the less bothersome challenges, I really do, but I'm not really good at this kind of dancing..." Courtney said, seconds before being shot off her pole.

"Sad thing is, Chef probably wouldn't have noticed it at all if she hadn't drawn attention to it." Chris said, laughing as he kept dancing.

Minutes passed as Chris kept dancing, harder and harder moves. "Come on, guys! I studied this routine, and I'm starting to run out of moves!" Chris said.

"Ah, forget it!" Eva jumped off herself.

[Listen, I don't dance. I can't believe everyone else kept dancing so long! Damn it! ARGH!] - Eva, seconds before destroying the confessional.

"Right!" Chris stopped dancing. "Now, you people do realize that's gonna be on Youtube forever, right?"

"Now, as you probably already saw, the rest of the island is surrounded by poles at well. The next part of the challenge is as follows: You people have to start jumping around, from pole to pole. If you land on the same pole as someone else, you can decide to keep jumping... or you could try to push the other camper off. Which is basically what you should be doing, because the last person standing wins!" Chris got off his pole and swam to the shore. The rest followed. "Wait, Katie, you have to stay here. Every camper will stay at a certain pole near a certain landmark on the island. Katie, yours is the circle of poles."

"Can you really call that a landmark?" Noah asked.

"I'll see you later, Katie!" Sadie yelled from the beach. The two waved at each other.

Chef drove over with a golf cart. Gwen got on, and Trent and Duncan pushed ahead to sit next to her. Noah and Alejandro sat next to each other, and Alejandro put his arm around Noah's shoulder. Trent, who didn't manage to get the seat next to Gwen, decided to sit next to Sadie. Bridgette sat by herself in the front, because she would get motion sickness otherwise.

The golf cart arrived at the Dock of Shame, where Bridgette was kicked off. She swam over to the pole and got on, sniffing. "You okay?" Chris asked. "Yeah, I just..." Bridgette started. "Yeah, just kidding! I don't care! See ya!" Chris said as Chef drove off.

Chef stopped at a part of the forest. "Noah! Get off!", he grunted. "I really wonder what would happen if I said no..." Noah said, getting off. "I'll see you soon." Alejandro said, blowing a kiss at Noah.

[Eugh.] - Gwen, in Chef's kitchen, where an intern had planted a new camera.

"You know, a random part of the forest really isn't a landmark either..." Noah said as the golf cart drove away.

Chef stopped again at the dodgeball court. "Duncan, this is your stop!" Duncan jumped out. "Cool, can I take some dodgeballs with me?" "No." Chris said before driving off. "Yeah... I think I'm gonna make that a rhetorical question." Duncan said, walking into the dodgeball court.

The golf cart stopped again at the waterfall. Alejandro got gently sent off to the pole. As the golf cart drove off, he ripped off his shirt and swam over to the pole.

Chef dropped Gwen off at the pole near Boney Island. "Cool. So, if I now grab one of those tiki idol things and throw them at the others, will they get voted off?" Chris chuckled. "Well, if you get them, you throw the challenge, so..." Gwen rolled her eyes as the golf cart drove away.

"Sadie! Out!" Sadie jumped out at the thousand-feet cliff. "I don't have to... jump off that... right?" "...Maybe. Nah, just kidding." Chris chuckled as he drove off. Sadie shook as she swam to the pole.

[You know, Chris is really scary...] - Sadie

"...And Trent, this is your stop!" Trent got thrown out at the southeast island. "Well, okay then... You know, Noah's right, you really can't call this..." Chef drove away, leaving Trent in the middle of a sentence. "...Right. It's annoying when Noah says it as well..."

Chef drove Chris over on top of the thousand-feet cliff. Chris walked over to the very edge and grabbed his megaphone. "START JUMPING!", he yelled into the megaphone.

"God, I hope Chef oiled the poles."

Sierra grabbed one of her bobby pins and stuck it into the lock. She wriggled it around for a bit.

"Under here... twist, and then push in... turn... That didn't- Cody... That didn't do it." She pulled out the bobby pin and threw it away. "Hmm... how to- Cody... How to get in then..." She thought about it for a second and then ripped the lock off. She walked into Chris's office.

She snuck over to the cabinet where the restraining order was and started looking around in it. "Hmm... A lot of- Cody... A lot of unpaid bills in here... Oops, Chris! LO- Cody... LOL! Ah!" She tried to grab the restraining order, but she was distracted by a figure at the door. "Get away from there, Sierra." "Oh! Cody..." Cody jumped over to the cabinet. "You can't be this close to me, Sierra. Get out." Sierra didn't move. "I won't move! The law- Cody... The law means nothing to me! I LOVE YOU!" Cody looked over to the door. "Eva?"

Eva walked in and grabbed Sierra. "NO! CODY! WE COULD BE HAPPY TOGETHER! Cody... CODY! YOU KNOW IT!" "No idea what you're talking about." Cody closed the cabinet as Eva walked over to the cabins, locking her in. "That's for the arm wrestling challenge!", she yelled. "Just wait..." Sierra said from the other side of the door.

"You know, no one really likes us..." Courtney said, looking for her PDA before remembering Chris took it. Heather looked up from filing her nails. "And your point?", she said. "We merged. You do realize we're the first people out, right?" Heather inspected her nails, making Courtney wait for an answer. "Whatever. Like I want to spend time with these morons anymore." "But... two million dollars!" Courtney argued. "...Yeah, I know." Heather got up, putting her hands on her hips. "So an alliance?" Courtney got up as well. "Yes! We could..."

"No." Heather cut her off, walking over to her suitcase to put her nail file in. "But... Why not?" Courtney asked. "Do you still remember Season 3? I really don't even wanna sleep in the same room as you, let alone help you out in a challenge." Courtney frowned. "Well, that's... stubborn..." She then walked over to the door. "Oh well. You're out before me anyway. And just so you know, you know just as well as I that I can bring you down. Maybe cut your hair again while I'm at it." Heather gasped. "That's it! Get over here! I'll destroy you!" Courtney ran out.

Chris sighed from his position in the golf cart. "Come on, people!" , he yelled through the megaphone. "It's been twenty minutes already! Start knocking people off!"

Sadie ran around on the poles nervously, before passing Trent and Duncan, who were fighting on the poles. "Oh... That's it!" Sadie yelled, knocking the bot of them off. Alejandro then knocked into her, pushing her off the pole. "Oh... Oops." He jumped onto the next pole as the three swam over to the shore.

[That was so mean of him! My crush is totally over now. Oh well, at least I knocked some people off! Yay me!] - Sadie

[Well, that's it! I've had enough squealing into my ear to be defeated by her in a challenge now! She's out!] - Duncan

"Bridgette! For God's sake, start jumping! You haven't moved since the challenge started!" Chris yelled through his megaphone.

[He really loves that thing, doesn't he?] - Gwen

"I-I'm sorry, Chris, I just... I can't do this! I miss-miss... I..." Right then, Bridgette stopped being intelligible. Gwen jumped up to her pole. "Hey, are you okay?" Gwen asked. Bridgette couldn't give an understandable answer. "Do you want to stop?" Gwen continued. Bridgette shook her head. "Okay then... Hey, if there's anything you need..." Gwen said. Bridgette nodded. Gwen hopped over to the next pole.

Katie squeed as she looked backwards. Alejandro was shirtless and hopping towards her! Katie got lost in her own little dream world, where Alejandro was a prince and she was his princess and he was still shirtless and... "Hey, Katie." Katie awoke from her daydream as Alejandro hopped over to the pole in front of her. He really did hop like a prince. He smiled. "Listen, with the things that have been going on, you understand things between us can't really continue the way it's going right now..."

[Oh my god! He likes me too! He can't stand being apart from me anymore! Oh my god!] - Katie

"So... Adios." He pushed her into the water.

[...Maybe he can stand... But what was he talking about then? Oh my god, I don't understand!] - Katie

Alejandro hopped on ahead.

Gwen jumped over to a pole near the cliff. This was seriously boring. She had more fun desperately trying not to sleep. Twice. Of course, the first time, she did have Trent beside her... Gwen stopped for a moment. Sometimes she wondered whether she had made the right choices. Was breaking up with Trent such a good idea? He didn't seem too... crazy now. Although, he and Duncan did go crazy fighting each other. Was Duncan insane too, then? To be honest, Duncan wasn't ever sweet like Trent was... She needed to stop thinking about these things. God, she really needed to stop thinking!

She jumped over to another pole, but misstepped and fell into the water.

She wasn't coming back up.

Why wasn't she coming back up?

Trent ran across the beach. Why did no one notice that she wasn't coming back up? Alejandro and Noah were still hopping (they both weren't big fans of Gwen, so that wasn't a big surprise), and Bridgette was crying too much to actually see. Heather, Courtney, Cody, Sierra, Katie, Sadie and Eva were all at the cabins, but Duncan was on the beach and he didn't do a thing! And Chris and Chef were on top of the cliff and they love to laugh at people, so they must've seen!

Trent decided there was only one option left. He jumped after her.

As he swam, he noticed a shark started following him. He tried to swim away, but unfortunately sharks are faster than him. The shark passed Trent, however, and swam down to the bottom of the lake.

Where Gwen was stuck.

She was trying to get her foot off a chain, but she was starting to run out of breath. And the shark was swimming towards her!

Trent swam to the surface. "Help! Somebody!" Duncan still didn't do anything. He stood on the beach, like he was frozen. The other campers came running from the cabins, and Eva jumped into the water, wrestling the shark away from Gwen. Trent swam over to a now unconscious Gwen, loosening the chain and getting Gwen out.

He swam to the surface, where everyone (except for Alejandro, Noah and a crying Bridgette) was waiting. Gwen woke up, dazed and confused. Chef brought her to the infirmary, and Trent sat down on the beach. He looked over at Duncan, who still hadn't moved a muscle. 'Nice. You really care about your girlfriend, don't you?'

"Thank God you people saved her." Chris said. "Think of the lawsuits!"

Alejandro and Noah started jumping around again, while Bridgette was still sobbing. Alejandro met up with Noah. "Hey babe. I see you've lasted quite a while now, huh?" Noah looked behind him to see a shirtless Alejandro. "Uh... yeah..." Noah lost his train of thought for a second. "Hmm, well, I would just hate to have to fight you last, so..." Before Noah could probably react, Alejandro threw him in the water. "I'm sure you understand." He hopped on ahead, trying to find Bridgette.

"...Sure..." Noah said, spitting out some water.

"Oh, I hope Alejandro wins!" Katie said, clapping and jumping up and down. Sadie looked at her, sadly shaking her head.

"Do you think we could somehow bring Bruno back?" Courtney asked. Gwen looked at her. "Hmm?"

"Well, she's so lost without him, obviously. The poor thing, losing her pet. You have iguanas, right?" Courtney said.

"Uh, she's not crying because of Bruno... You know that, right?" Gwen replied, turning to face Courtney.

"What do you mean? Of course she is." "Uh, no? She's crying because of Geoff. He's the love of her life!" "Of course not. She broke up with him for a reason, you know. He's a lousy do-nothing. Bruno would always protect her. He's a keeper." "She's crying over Geoff!" "Bruno!" "Geoff!" "Bruno!" "Do you people need a lamppost with numerous flyers?" Noah asked, getting out of the water.

Alejandro made it to a sobbing Bridgette. "Oh yeah, you were the cryer... So sorry about your... boyfriend, or bear, or whatever..." Bridgette said something unintelligible. "Yeah... sure. Anyway, I'm sure you realise we're the only two left. Really, this was just too easy. I'm just gonna savor the moment, because what are you still gonna do?" Bridgette sniffed and looked at him with wide eyes. "Yeah. For some reason, it's really fun to mess with you. I loved messing with your head, and I'll enjoy making you lose now. I'm sure everyone will vote you off. Pity votes, really. I'm also sure you regret coming back onto the show, huh? All you did was lose your boyfriend, your little teddy bear, and your dignity. It's wonderful."

Bridgette stopped sniffing altogether. "Are you so sure?" Alejandro stopped gloating. "Because I'm not. I lost Geoff. My bear attacked him and sent him to the hospital. But I do still love him, and I did not lose him. We made up. Didn't see that coming, did you? I lost Bruno. He got sent off somewhere, and nobody knows where exactly. But I will find him. I don't care how, I don't care how long it takes me or who I have to get out of the way to do so. I will find him. And I think the first thing I'd do upon reuniting with him is sending him to kick your sorry ass to the hospital as well."

"Ooh, bitter words from such a peaceful girl. Careful, you might just become the new Heather." Bridgette shook her head. "Not exactly. I will never go as low as you. Because if there's one thing I hate, it's pathetic people like you. You have to claw your way up, not to the top, but just out of the snake pit where they keep all the vile people. And did you think I'd just give you the win?" Bridgette said, with eyes of steel. "Think again." She kicked Alejandro off the pole.

"Noah?" Noah turned around from where he was sitting on his bunk. "Yes?" Eva and Cody walked in. "We have to talk." "Ooh, we're getting serious here." Cody sat down on the bunk opposite Noah's, and Eva leaned on Noah's bunk. "It's about Alejandro." Cody said. Eva went over to the door and locked it. "When did that get a lock?" Noah wondered out loud. "Long ago. Anyway..." Cody said. "We think he's bad news. Actually, we know he's bad news. Come on, Noah. You knew he was bad news in Season 3!" "Yeah, I know. Like I said, I know he's bad for me. He pushed me off the pole during the challenge, and I know he didn't care. I know he'll eventually vote me off. I'm not an idiot. I just really don't care. If he wants to give me a fake reality for a few episodes that will probably be my only shot at emotion for the rest of my life, then so be it. I'm really not complaining. He's acting really fake nice. It's great." Cody shook his head.

"Well, you do know you can't be in the alliance anymore, right?" Eva said. "Oh, you don't feel like teaming up with the villain?" Noah said. "Nothing against you, of course." Eva and Cody walked out as Alejandro walked in. "What did they want?", he asked. "Nothing." Noah said. "Listen, about you throwing me off the pole..." Alejandro looked away. "Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't..." Noah looked at Alejandro for a second. "No, it's fine. You just wanted to win, right? Makes sense." Alejandro looked up, and Noah gasped softly.

[There was genuine emotion in his eyes. What the hell... Does he actually like me? No way!] - Noah

[Oh no. This cannot happen to me again! I made a big enough mistake with Heather! Come to think of it, Noah is a bit like... NO!] - Alejandro

"So, umm..." Gwen entered the boys' cabin, where Duncan was cutting into the bunk with his knife. "I talked to Trent just now..." Duncan got up swiftly. "Why? Why would you..." Gwen raised her hand to shut him up. "He saved my life, remember?" Duncan looked down. "Yeah, I guess..." "He told me you did nothing." Duncan kept looking at the floor. "I mean, I was drowning, I was stuck down there! You know, I've been thinking, and you really never did much for me. Do you even care? Or am I just another girl to have on your arm? I could have-" "I was paralyzed." Duncan interjected. "I froze! I just... I saw you fall, and you didn't come back, and then it hit me, and- and then I thought I could actually just lose you, and I just couldn't-" Gwen raised her hand again and stepped forward, tilting Duncan's head up and kissing him. "Good. I actually thought I should've gotten back together with Trent at first. Now I know there's no need to."

"Cody... Cody... Cody..." Sierra rocked back and forth in the corner of the cabin while Heather filed her nails. She broke one when she slapped Courtney, and now she had to adjust all of them to match the press-on nail. Ugh much?

"Cody Cody Cody Cody Cody Cody Cody Cody..." Heather rolled her eyes, got up and slapped Sierra. "For God's sake, get a grip!" Sierra stopped and blinked. "We get it, you're creepy and obsessed! But most people actually have a place in society, and if you don't, you get shipped off to a loony bin, where you will never see your beloved geekface again!" Sierra blinked again. "Now, get up and get over it. And stay over it this time. He doesn't like you, shit happens!" Sierra sniffed, but got up. "There we go."

"Oh, I feel so bad about Alejandro losing! Bridgette can be so mean. Like when she puked all over me, that was so rude! She could have puked over Izzy or something! But Alejandro was really nice to me today. I think he might ask me out!" Katie said, jumping around the cabin. Sadie, who was sitting on her bunk, decided to get up and stop Katie. "Honey, I need to tell you something." Katie looked at her with a confused look on her face. "What?" "Did you notice Alejandro being... nice towards someone else? Besides you?" "Well, Alejandro is just really nice! Like how he saved Noah during the dance challenge..." "Yeah, that's what I wanted to talk to you about..." Katie tilted her head. "About Alejandro saving Noah during the dance challenge?" "Yeah... Uh... Alejandro and Noah are dating."

"What?" Katie said, before bursting into tears. "But... I'M A PRINCESS!" Sadie tried to comfort her, but Katie pushed her away. "I HATE YOU! AND I HATE ALEJANDRO, AND I HATE NOAH! OH, NOAH'S GOING DOWN!" She ran out crying hysterically. Sadie sat down. "Oops."

"Well, the merge arrived, and that means you can vote for anyone! Everyone you hate, but couldn't vote for yet, because they weren't on your team! Except Bridgette, of course." Bridgette smiled and stuck her thumb up while Chris threw a marshmallow at her.

"Let's see... First of all, Gwen." Gwen walked over and got her marshmallow. "Hmm, I haven't gotten one of these since the intern challenge..."

"Also, Trent." Trent walked over, more towards Gwen than towards Chris.

"Uh, Cody's also safe." Cody walked over, avoiding Sierra as she leaned forward.

"Katie, you're safe." Katie sniffed and walked over, slumping.

"Courtney! You're safe." Courtney sighed in relief and ran over.

"Also, Duncan, Eva, Sierra and Noah!" The four walked over getting their marshmallows.

Courtney smiled and put her hands on her hips as Heather looked on in shock. Noah folded his arms over each other nervously, as Alejandro was left as well.

"Alejandro, Sadie, and Heather. You three got the most votes." Chris stared at them for a second, enjoying their squirming.

"Alejandro. You were a jackass to Bridgette, causing her awesome return to reality. I think you get why people voted for you..." Alejandro looked aside.

"Sadie, you knocked a bunch of people off during the pole challenge, and you're loud." Heather glared at Sadie.

"Heather, you're evil and nobody likes you." Heather turned her death stare towards Chris.

"Well..." Chris waited a second.

"First of all, Heather, come get your marshmallow." Heather got up and ran over to get her marshmallow, waving it in Alejandro's face.

"So, Alejandro and Sadie. One of you is leaving today. ...Alejandro, you really were a jerk." "Coming from you?" Alejandro retorted.

"...Yeah, whatever, good point. Anyway, you're safe as well, even though I don't understand why you didn't get twelve votes..."

[My vote goes to Sadie. I know Heather is a good target as well, but Katie and Sadie have become expendable, and a lot of the guys are voting off Sadie...] - Alejandro

[I vote for Alejandro. No, actually, I vote for Al. He doesn't like that, does he?] - Bridgette

[I'm going for Sierra! I can vote for her! Oh god, I so vote for Sierra!] - Cody

[I vote for Heather. I do not let people slap me without revenge. She'll pay!] - Courtney

[I'm going for Sadie. I have had enough of her and the other dumb pink blur as well!] - Duncan

[I'm going for Alejandro. He needs to keep his hands off of Noah.] - Eva

[Heather. That was really easy.] - Gwen

[I am so voting for Alejandro. There is no way he won't be voted off after the whole Bridgette thing. I totally have the moral high ground! Yes!] - Heather

[I VOTE FOR NOAAAAHHHH!] - Katie

[I vote for Sadie. I guess people vote for Alejandro a lot, but I heard a lot of people are voting for Sadie as well. So she's screwed. I hope...] - Noah

[I think I'll go for Heather. She can be so mean! She slapped a lot of people today.] - Sadie

[I vote for... Eva. She's been around Cody a lot. He's miiiine!] - Sierra

[I'm going for Sadie. I'm sorry, but she pushed me off when I was fighting Duncan!] - Trent

Alejandro got up, taking his marshmallow. Noah launched himself at him, hugging him.

As Cody and Eva shook their heads at the sad fact that Noah was really lost now, Sadie walked over to the dock, but Katie ran up to her.

"NOOOO! SADIE! I-I-I-WHYYYYYY!" Katie was a mess. Sadie grabbed her.

"Katie! Remember what I said at the beginning? When we were seperated for the first time?"

"I know, but it's just so unfair! I mean, we were just reunited again!" Katie whined. Sadie smiled. "I know. But you have to be strong. I know you can win this, and you can beat everyone if you just focus. Can you do that for me?" Katie nodded. "I'll see you after you win the two million." Sadie got on the Boat of Losers. As it departed, Katie started crying again, waving. Sadie waved back as the boat went behind a rock.

"Well, that was that! Sadie got voted off, a moment I've been waiting for a long time! I can now start recovering from the hearing damage I recieved from her squealing! Anyway, as the merge has arrived and everybody is either hooking up or going after each other, many questions remain! Will Trent get Gwen back? Will Alejandro get Noah voted off after all? How long will Katie survive without her BFFFL? ...I mean, come on. Her BFFFL. I should seriously be paid more. Ooh! Will I be paid more? Find out next time on Total. Drama. TOURNAMENT!"

"Well, I guess I kinda knew I wasn't gonna win. I mean, I kinda sucked at most challenges. But I gave it my all and that's the most important thing of all!

And Katie... She's gonna do great! I just know it! Oh... KATIE! I MISS YOU!"

And they're finally seperated. That took me way too long.

Oh, and the merge! I dragged that out way too long as well.

And I thought about bringing people back, because that happens basically every season, but I decided against it, because the only person I could find a plotline for was Blaineley, and that plotline would get into subjects I know way too little about to write about without it feeling blunt and wrong.

I really do apologize for making Noah so pathetic. I'll try to remedy it next chapter, I promise.

So, comment please! It's what keeps the story alive. It's on life support now. You guys, do you wanna kill it?
