EZEKIEL: PART ONE

6:00 a.m.
LeShawna-Well its day two at the farm and the second day this sister has been up at the crack of dawn. Farm folk or not can't they be kind enough to let their guests sleep in for once?
There is a slight thump on the curtain gaining the bodacious beauty's attention. "Breakfast is being served in five minutes so you goota be at the table by then okay?" Ezekiel's accented voice announced cheerily before there was the crunch of snow against boots as the farm teen walked away. LeShawna sighed.
LeShawna-Guess not.
The chocolate female is replaced by Izzy who is grinning happily with Faux on her shoulder.
Izzy-Izzy has got into a routine. Bay at the moon at midnight, get a few hours of sleep and crow with Faux at dawn! Yeah my Zeke and his family didn't have a rooster so Izzy taught Faux to do it instead! See check it out! Rhubarb Carrot Pie!
In response to the odd comment, Faux let out several yips which oddly enough sounded like a very canine version of the rooster's call. Izzy grinned at the camera before it turned to static.
Lap of Luxury Hotel
9:00 a.m.
Courtney tapped her foot impatiently as one by one the other TDI teenagers filed into the meeting room, but most were far from being ready. Her scowl grew as Lindsay walked into the room wearing a gold bikini.
"Is this meeting going to take long Cora? Cause I so have an appointment to get my roots done in about an hour and then I have the pedicure only a few minutes from now and then-" Courtney blew her top.
Are you so much of a dumb blonde that you've forgotten?! And that goes for the rest of you…duds! The whole point of going to this hotel in the first place was for a rest stop! Not pedicures, not spa dates OR hot tub time…REST STOP!!!"
In response to the CIT's comment, Eva gently nudged Noah. "Looks like someone got out on the wrong side of the bed this morning." The bookworm smirked. "It's Courtney. Every thing that doesn't conform to her immediate expectations upsets her."
Katie and Sadie who were also nearby giggled as did Tyler. Courtney's glare deepened. "In case you have forgotten…we still have 5 hours to reach Mr. S-Ezekiel's house and that's not counting the party preparations!"
Courtney heaved heavily for a few seconds to catch her breath before continuing. "So show of hands…who are the CLOSEST to being ready to leave? Besides myself of course." The other teens looked at each other.
Finally a few hands rose in the air. Courtney nodded in satisfaction. "Good. You five will be Car 1. Be ready to check out in 15 minutes and I expect you on the road 5 minutes after. Remember we need whatever time we can muster so NO lollygagging!"
Car 1
Gwen, Trent, Tyler, Bridgette, Geoff
Geoff sighed as he stared at the back window of the disappearing hotel. "We didn't even get to try the state of the art hot tub." The party animal moaned as Trent made a left turn. Bridgette patted his shoulder in sympathy.
"Maybe on the way back home, but right now we have something else far more important." The surfer commented before her lazy eyes widened in curiosity. In the passenger seat of the black car, Gwen was smiling.
"You're in an awfully good mood." Bridgette commented with a smile only to receive a grin in return. "It's because Heather isn't here. And Katie and Sadie weren't ready in time so the atmosphere is different."
Trent explained while the goth smiled up at the car ceiling. Tyler nodded. "As long as Lindsay and Justin don't end up in the same car I'll be as calm as a newborn babe!" Seeing the odd looks the jock looked at them in confusion. "What?"
"Nothing." Gwen quickly commented before looking at the brunet thoughtfully. "Speaking of rides how did you guys get here so fast anyway?" Tyler grinned. "Oh we just took Lindsay's helicopter." The jock commented nonchalantly.
You took her WHAT?!!!!
Lap of Luxury Hotel
10:00 a.m.
"No way…not happening." The would be counselor said shaking her head firmly. As the blonde bombshell started to protest the unfairness of it all, the CIT went promptly into lecture mode.
"The point of a surprise party is to SURPRISE the person without going over the top and a HELICOPTER is beyond over the top! So either obtain a decent car or just stay at the hotel and don't go to the reunion. It's that simple."
Courtney smiled smugly before walking over to a few of the other teens carrying boxes of prepared food from the kitchen. The overachiever smiled. "Great! Now get those foods in the car so we can get the next group moving!"
Car 2
DJ, Noah, Katie, Sadie
"I'll do the navigating if you don't mind." Noah commented dryly seating himself carefully in the passenger seat and passing his crutches to DJ who stowed them in the back seat along with a few of the boxes.
As the brickhouse took his spot behind the wheel, Courtney walked over and studied the group before immediately shaking her head. "Nope. We need full carpools people, NOT almost full. And we can still fit one more person with a little organization."
The remaining teens looked from the over packed car to each other before Duncan shrugged. "Ehh…I've gotten into tighter spots then this." With that the punk shifted a few items to the side and climbed into the car.
"See you on the other side Princess." Duncan smirked before closing the door. The overachiever waved sadly at the departing vehicle before turning back to glare at the other five campers.
"Well what are you waiting for? We still need to get a vehicle to carry ALL of us and we don't have much time to do it! Move people MOVE!!!"
Ezekiel's House
11:00 a.m.
Ezekiel coughed a few times to get rid of the lingering fumes from his lungs before staring up at the much larger teen through heavily powdered bangs. Owen's nervous chuckles immediately evaporated and he stared at the prairie boy warily.
"Now don't do anything hasty! Remember Santa's watching!" Owen's protests fell on deaf ears as the homeschooler continued to walk towards him with a dark glare on his face. The 296 pounds of joy proceeded to let out a terrified scream.
In a matter of seconds the other teenage guests rushed over. "Just what the heck is going on in…here?" LeShawna trailed off staring in shock at the kitchen, the terrified Owen and the upset prairie boy.
The entire area looked like a bomb had gone off. Countless bags of flour lay broken on the floor, the powdery contents covering both the entire kitchen and the toque wearing brunet who was shaking with barely contained rage.
The reason behind his anger became perfectly clear. All the food items that Ezekiel had been carefully preparing since early that morning were buried under a mountain of flour, turning most into a mess of inedible sticky paste. It was no wonder why the brunet was so upset.
"Mission Accomplished! Now Gangway! Teenager who doesn't want to die coming through!!!!" Owen yelled barreling past the gathered group with a very angry Ezekiel not far behind.

Cody-Al-right! Phase One getting the Zeke-man out of the house for several hours com-plete. Now for Phase Two. How to keep Ezekiel from killing Owen.
Harold-Note to self….if someone puts that much effort into making culinary dishes, especially right around the holidays…it's a good idea not to mess around with them. Especially Ezekiel's.
Izzy-Okay Owen may be my boyfriend and all, but even I knew he crossed the line. And Zekey was so totally creative with all that ruined dough!
The camera turns to static before it focuses in on a large Owen mummy made entirely of flour and paste. After a few seconds the mouth moved.
Owen-Oookay…messing around with Zeke's dishes bad. Doing it on purpose…even worse. Now can someone get me out of this thing! He-lllo? Anyone?
Static.
Independence Car Rentals
11:00 a.m.
Courtney drummed her fingers impatiently on the counter as the car agent searched through his computer for what seemed like an eternity. "Come on…come on. We DO have somewhere we're supposed to be right now."
"You know what they say…patience isth a virture." Beth commented with a smile only to shrink back from the CIT's look. The overachiever turned back to the counter. "At this point we'll take whatever you have! Just get us out of here!" The agent finally slid the set of the keys over.
"Green bar…Space 420. Merry Christmas." The agent commented gruffly before turning his attention back to the screen. Once the group of teens had disappeared down the corridor the agent grinned broadly at a hidden camera.

Independence Car Rentals
Car Agent-Hi again folks, intern Scott here, but you might know me best as Chris Justin. And yep we interns are still watching the former campers like hawks. If all this bonus footage doesn't get us a paycheck and a bonus this year then nothing will. Speaking of which…
Scott cleared his throat before staring firmly at the camera.
Chris Justin/Scott-The hard workers, producers and Chris McClain of Total Drama Island would like to thank Independence Car Rentals for specially outfitting one of their cars to suit the needs of Total Drama. Folks remember to mention Total Drama to get 5% of your next car rental! That and the time. And the date. And the special flashing symbol on the screen that you probably ignored when you raced to jot the number of the car rental down before you forgot. Yeah that's really important.
Static.
Making they're way down the rows of cars, Heather was the first to spot space 420. A simple 4 door car painted a brilliant shade of neon green sat in that spot earning more then one look of displeasure. "And I thought weird goth girl's was bad!"
Eva scowled. "That thing looks like it would glow in the dark! And with our luck it probably does!" Courtney gingerly opened the passenger door and tried not to look at the bright coloring. "Well we DID say we'd take what they had."
"Uhh…no actually YOU said you'd take whatever they had." Justin corrected before holding up his mirror again. Courtney opened her mouth to protest, but bit her tongue. "Who cares who said who people? We were supposed to be on the road an hour ago! So cram in and let's get going!
Car 3
Justin, Lindsay, Beth, Heather, Eva, Courtney
Beth climbed into the driver's seat and started to adjust the mirrors, while Eva shoved their things in the trunk before climbing into the packed backseat. "Don't wake me unless you want me to drive that green monster." The fitness buff warned as she pulled out her MP3 player.
Food Planet
1:00 p.m.
Ezekiel had calmed down a little once he got out of the shower and into clean clothing. His mood improved some, when Izzy presented him with his wet, but now food free toque. The others though weren't willing to press their luck.
Especially Owen. After being freed from his doughy prison, Owen was more then willingly to do whatever it takes to get the prairie boy back to his shy, cheerful and not pissed off at Owen self. And until that happened, he avoided Ezekiel at all costs.
In the meantime under careful restrictions from the homeschooler's parents, Harold and LeShawna were more then willing to accompany Ezekiel on the trip to Food Planet as well as keep him distracted until the surprise party.
Besides the two hours it would take to take to get to the store and back to the house and the time spent shopping, the couple figured everyone and everything would be all ready to go by the time they walked in.
"Okay we need aboot 8 big bags of flooer joost to be safe, 3 bags of sugar, 5 bags powdered sugar, vanilla extract and 7 packages of each of the chocolate chip bags and that's it for this part of the aisle eh. Now for the first part…"
Unfortunately for them, when it came to food, Ezekiel was a very efficient shopper. Dumping the first group of items in the cart, the homeschooler wandered further up the aisle muttering to himself.
LeShawna and Harold stared after him. "That boy is somethin else." LeShawna commented shaking her head. Harold nodded worriedly. "We have to find a way to stall him! Otherwise this surprise will be bust!"
"Wot's sculpturing goot to do with shopping eh?" Ezekiel questioned coming back with his arms loaded. While the homeschooler placed the things in the cart, the couple looked around frantically for a distraction.
"Hey didn't crazy white girl say she wanted to make…jello…cottage cheese…pretzel… surprise?" The large and in charge sister suggested weakly earning a confused look from her boyfriend and a thoughtful one from Ezekiel.
Finally he grinned back. "And with doomies. Wotever those are. Thanks I almoost forgoot eh!" Ezekiel walked away again this time with Harold following to show the toque wearing brunet where gummies could be found.
The sassy sister shook her head again. "I come up with some crazy dish on the fly and look what happens. I have DEFINETLY been around Izzy for too long. Well a distraction is a distraction." LeShawna mused before chucking a few jello boxes in the cart.
Most girls just want a man
with the bling-bling
Got my own thing got the ching-ching
I just want real love
Grabbing her cell from her jacket, LeShawna clicked the talk button. "Hey whatsup y'all?" The plus sized girl listened to the other person on the other and she smiled. "Baby girl! I haven't heard from you since last night! So you guys on the road yet?"
Since 9:20. Little Miss CIT insisted. And Car 1 as she called us is still about an hour away and out of windshield fluid for the car so we've stopped at a grocery store to pick some up.
LeShawna froze. "Gwen hon that store you're in now…it wouldn't be called Food Planet by any chance would it?"
Actually it is. How did you know?
Alarm bells started to ring in her head and LeShawna was quick to answer. "Gwen! Who else was in Car 1 with you?"
Trent, Tyler, Bridgette and Geoff. Why?
Before LeShawna could reply a bloodcurdling scream echoed throughout the store, confirming the chocolate female's worst fear. There was a few seconds of silence on the other end before Gwen spoke.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you're running interference with Ezekiel in this store and said male just ran into either Bridgette or Geoff or both.
"Hit the nail on the head baby girl." LeShawna sighed as she raced towards the source of the scream. "Hit the nail on the head."
2 minutes earlier
"You want to make sure to get the Gummy Worms or the Gummy Bears. They're not only the best, but classics!" Harold declared holding both packets up. Ezekiel studied both for a few seconds before shaking his head.
"Its loike eating Snakey or Izzy's bear buddy withoot all the danger eh." The prairie boy commented before grabbing another bag. "Are these any good?" In answer the gummy package was knocked out of his hand.
"Gummy Slugs are the living incarnate of the truest evil on this planet, besides Chris of course. Not only that I am beyond violently allergic to them. The doctors thought I would never walk again."
Ezekiel nodded stepping away from the fallen bag. Looking at the remaining choices, Ezekiel grinned pulling yet another package off the hook. "Gummy People Special Edition Pack. Now you can literally bite off the head of Police Officers, Annoying Bosses, Bad Cooks and even TV Hosts! Contains…"
The nerd grinned back at the homeschooler, before proceeding to empty the peg. With their arms loaded with the Gummy People packages, both boys started to leave the area and head back to the cart.
Unfortunately they never got there. Harold let out a gasp and opened his mouth to issue a warning. It was too late. The toque wearing brunet in front of him collided with another person sending both to the ground with Gummy People falling down on them like rain.
Wincing from the impact, Ezekiel slowly opened his eyes and gasped. The other person rubbed their head and smiled back nervously, especially seeing the look of horror on the homeschooler's face.
"Oh Hi Ezekiel…Ummm Happy Christmas Eve?" Ezekiel screamed. Stumbling to his feet and tripping over them a few times, the homeschooler raced off with Harold and the other teen running after him.
Imagi's Ramblings: So another day, another chapter and another ring tone. Figured Most Girls by Pink suited LeShawna. Also don't own that…belongs to Pink.
