Owen: Part Two

Ezekiel took a deep breath as he studied his 8 ft target. After a few minutes later he grinned as he picked up the axe. Readying himself he let the axe fly. The successful thump of blade hitting tree was a good sign.

Taking another breath he prepared to do it again when he heard the unmistakable sound of brakes squealing followed shortly by thumps and a loud crash coming from somewhere nearby. Alarmed he looked around trying to decide whether to investigate or to decide to stay put and call for help.

Aaaaaaaaahhh

Eeeeeeeeaaaaeeeeahhhh

Eaaaaeeahhhhh!!!!

The unearthly cry followed by someone running through the snow evaporated his worry. Smiling Ezekiel picked the ax up from where he dropped it and started to swing it when the tree suddenly swung towards him seconds after his blade connected with the wooden trunk.

Looking up at the bent tree, Ezekiel let out a horrified scream as he noticed a red headed girl now grinning wickedly at him hanging upside down from the tree he was cutting down. Had the fun loving girl surprised him earlier…

Ezekiel's hands flew to his mouth and he rushed away as far as he could before the contents of his stomach came up. Heaving for several seconds he heard Izzy laughing gleefully in the background. Wiping his mouth with his snow jacket sleeve, he scowled at her his body still shaking from the upchucking and the sudden shock to his system.

"Doon't scare me like that Izzy! I could have clipped you eh!" Ezekiel snapped angrily before looking around in confusion. Izzy had vacated the tree and was no where in sight. "Izzy? Izzy? Where did you go ehhhh!!!!"

Ezekiel let out another yell as he found himself flung onto the snow covered ground with the red head now kneeling on his chest. Still in a daze, he vaguely heard Izzy talking about friendship, monsters and pickles.

Shaking his head he noticed someone else come into the clearing. Blinking in shock he recognized the TDI winner staring at them with his mouth open. Ezekiel winced. "This is noot what it looks like eh!" Ezekiel blurted out instinctively closing his eyes while his hands reached up to protect his head.


Owen stared at the resort waiter on the ground in confusion. The young waiter had finally noticed him and his eyes went wide. "This is noot what it looks like eh!" The waiter blurted out his face slightly red before he closed his eyes tight and braced himself for a beating.

Owen didn't really notice as he focused in on the brunet, gulping as his eyes met Izzy's in the process. Undoubtedly the red head glared back in warning. Gulping again he turned his attention back to the cringing teen.

It wasn't until his eyes locked on the odd blue hat the other boy wore that things finally clicked. A replay of images from both the island on the resort played in his mind particularly the one in the dining hall. That was the only time that Ezekiel was not wearing his beloved hat.

As the rerun of mental thoughts ended Owen grinned. "Ezekiel! Woo Hoo!!! It is soo Awesome to see you!" The large teen cheered before racing over. Ezekiel stared at the blonde in confusion as Izzy allowed him to get off the ground.

"You…wanted to see me?" The prairie boy questioned right before Owen lifted the surprised homeschooler off the ground. Ezekiel let out a startled squeak finding himself trapped tight in an Owen hug.

"Well actually our vehicle got stuck down a hill and we were going to start searching for help…but this is even more awesome!!! Woo Hoo!!! We get to stay with one of our friends from the island!" Owen cheered happily before his smile disappeared.

"We can stay with you right?" In response Ezekiel shrugged or at least tried to. "Uhhh..sure eh. Since you and Izzy are stranded and all." Owen let out another loud whoop as he hugged Ezekiel tighter. Izzy grinned.

"Yeah my favorite! Zeke Sandwich!" The wild girl cheered promptly leaping up on her boyfriend and proceeded to hug the shy teen from the other side causing him to turn colors from both the lack of oxygen and Izzy's close contact. "Nuff…with…the hugging eh!" Ezekiel gasped out.

"Oops sorry." Owen grinned sheepishly promptly letting go, sending both the prairie boy and his girlfriend crashing down to the ground. Ezekiel gratefully took in deep breaths of air causing the blue tints on his face to disappear while Izzy gave Owen another dirty look.

As the chubby blonde let out a nervous chuckle, Izzy turned her head back to where Ezekiel was pulling the axe out of the tree trunk. With one final pull the blade was out the force almost knocking Ezekiel off his feet again.

Adjusting his hat, the homeschooler swung the axe again causing Izzy to grin eagerly. "Wicked! Chopping the Christmas tree! I remember this time when my cousin Angie went to a tree farm and-"

Izzy stopped when she noticed the tree starting to fall. "Oooh! TIIIIMBER!!!!" The red head roared happily as the tree fell to the ground. Noticing the confused look on Ezekiel's face she explained.

"You're supposed to say that right before a tree falls and I never got to say that before now! See back home we have these Christmas Tree cutting parties but for some reason everyone gets this really weird look on their faces when I offer to chop the tree down and then they want me to stay behind and-"

As Izzy continued her story, Owen was helping Ezekiel with the tree. With the larger boy's help the tree was placed onto a waiting sled shortly after the prairie boy removed a helmet. As both boys worked to secure the tree, neither noticed that part of the rope had somehow wound around one of Owen's ankles.

Following Ezekiel down the hill both Izzy and Owen gasped in delight at the sight before them. "Oh Jack Frost! A Snowmobile! AWESOME!!!" Izzy bounced on the balls of her feet in excitement. "Izzy gets to drive! Izzy gets to drive!"

Grabbing the helmet from Zeke and placing on her head, Izzy leapt onto the snowmobile waiting impatiently as Ezekiel tied the longest end of the rope tightly to the back of the machine. "It's aboot twenty minutes to my house and aboot five to get to the town eh." Ezekiel explained looking up at his companions. Zeke suddenly blanched in realization.

Rubbing his hat nervously he explained. "Snoo mobiles can't hold moor then two people at a time eh and…they can only hold 350 pounds." Seeing the crestfallen look on the blonde's face Zeke explained the rest hurriedly.

"I doon't knoo where yoor vehicle is and someone has to stay behind until I can get help eh. And the town it's noot far!" The cuddly chubby let out a heavy sigh. "Don't worry about me...I'll be fine."

Ezekiel offered another apologetic smile and Izzy grinned. "Come on let's go!" Ezekiel grinned back as he removed the spare helmet from the snowmobile compartment. "Sure okay! I'm still driving though eh."

Owen sighed again watching as a pouting Izzy reluctantly let go of the controls and allowed the prairie teen to sit in front of her. With a turn of the key the snowmobile started up, the roar of the engine easily drowning out the peace of the forest and barely drowning out Izzy's excited yell.

From a safe distance Owen took the opportunity to vent his feelings. "Where's the Confessional Can when you need it?!" The large teen yelled out angrily to the sky. His words going unheard…or so he thought.

Irritably Owen turned his head and let out a gasp. Hanging around a pair of nearby trees was a white shower curtain with gold stars on it. The curtain was currently open revealing a tree stump in the center. What really drew his attention was the video camera that had been tied to one of the tree trunks.


Traveling Cam

5 minutes ago

Chris Trent-Hey guys welcome to the Traveling Cam. I'm…well the Chris version of the camper named Trent. Yeah...Once Boss McClain got wind of the reunion at the party he sent all of us Chris "doubles" to secretly track all the campers. Currently Chris Duncan and Chris Justin are at the party guy's other party replacing the camera film any chance they can.

Chris Tyler-According to the Chris Justin they've already gone through a week's worth of camera film! And that party is still going! Chris Noah and Chris Geoff are at the roller ring with the musician and the other best friend and we're here trailing the psycho female and the first winner of Total Drama Island.

Chris Trent-But them running into the homeschooler…wow that was a surprise.


Chris's House

Traveling Cam

Chris-That was AWESOME!!! Owen letting Izzy drive…Izzy scaring Ezekiel and the hurling?! Hahahaha!

Chef-In case you all at home are wondering, the Traveling Cam is portable. Set up a curtain, grab a camera and boom you have the Traveling Cam ready to go.

Static.


Traveling Cam

Woods

Chris Tyler-So that's about the long and short of it.

The Chris mixed jock paused when he heard the roar of engine coming from somewhere outside.

Chris Tyler-Whoops! It's go time again!

Static before darkness?

Owen-Oh venting camera how I've missed you! Muwah!

Silence before the darkness fades revealing the close up of Owen sitting back down.

Owen-So anyway I have something really important to say.

The almost 300 pound of fun then proceeds to let out some of his infamous sounds for the next few minutes after which he sighed in contentment.

Owen-Okay now for the important part. I mean sure Izzy has said over and over again that she and Ezekiel are just good friends, but somehow I get the feeling…Nah! (laughs) Sure I don't know the dude that well, but he's a good guy. It's not like he's going to leave me out in the middle of the woods to die or let anything bad happen to me right?

The rope around Owen's ankle suddenly jerks and yanks the jolly giant off of the stump.

Owen-AHHHH!!!! SOMETHING BAD IS HAPPENING! SOMETHING BAD IS HAPPENING!!!!

That was all the happy go lucky boy was able to say before he is dragged outside the Traveling Cam.


Izzy let out a loud cheer as the snowmobile started to finally move, heading down the snowy hill with the sled being pulled behind them. "Faster Zeke! Faster!" Izzy insisted. The prairie boy obliged and increased the speed some.

"We cannoot go too fast it's really steep here and we might loose the tree eh." At Ezekiel's reasoning's Izzy pouted. Hearing an increasing rumbling sound, the crazy fun loving girl turned her head and she cackled in glee. "Yeah!!! This is just like the movies except with snow instead of a boulder!"

"What are you talking aboot-" Ezekiel started to ask slowing the machine down some to look. The sight of an enormous snowball quickly bearing down on them caused him to let out a horrified scream before proceeding to floor the machine.

The next past minutes were just a blur to Ezekiel as he swerved at full speed to avoid the snowball, trees, little drops and other hazards. His heart beat frantically and more then once he fought back a scream with each close call.

Finally it ended. The snowy ground leveled off and the ever persistent snowball started to slow down as Ezekiel did the same. The homeschooler let out a relieved sigh as this new hazard finally came to a halt.

As he turned off the engine, Izzy let out another happy cry. "That was so awesome! Let's do it again!" Ezekiel quickly shook his head and dismounted. Looking back in the direction in which they had come, the teen let out another shudder.

"I have no idea how we survived that eh." Ezekiel muttered to himself looking back from the hill to the snowball. He let out a shocked cry as the snowball suddenly erupted revealing a very dazed Owen smiling goofily at him. "Ball cold and goes round and round!" Ezekiel winced.


Several hours had passed since the snowball ride of doom. The happy go lucky teen had since then had the rope removed and had recovered from his ordeal and was currently riding in a truck with Izzy.

The town mechanic had taken care of Izzy's mini van and after lecturing Ezekiel about having a double passenger with him, had loaded up their things in his truck and proceeded to follow after Ezekiel on the snowmobile much to Izzy's disappointment.

Both she and Owen though quickly cheered up at the sight of the farmhouse. The moment Ezekiel and the truck stopped Izzy flung herself outside in excitement eager to explore. Owen was more interested in smell of food wafting from inside the house.

The large teen was so eager to get inside that he accidently dropped his cell phone, which Ezekiel picked up curiously. After examining it and pressing the talk button he was momentarily surprised to hear the phone ring. After several seconds it clicked causing the toque wearing brunet to almost drop it. Ezekiel placed the phone to his ear just in time to hear the words leave a message. Shrugging he did so.

"Hi there eh Mr. and Mrs. Owen's parents. The snoo up here is pretty thick eh so Izzy can't get to her aunt's house tonight eh, so there staying overnight at my house. I was on the same show and my mom is home so there safe here eh. I joost want you to knoo. Thanks eh…"

"Ooh hey! You're a cute little fella!" Ezekiel turned his head and paled as he noticed Izzy had somehow found and was now holding a red fox as she started to head indoors.

"Izzy no! Fooxes doon't go in the-"

Beeeeeep.
