Here's the second challenge. Remember, losing team, you have to vote off a member of your team
Last Camper Walking
"Last time on Total Drama Island: Caribbean Summer, the campers were faced with their first challenge, which included scuba diving and boat building. Some did very well, while others didn't do so well finding their keys. Even though the Toucans had more keys, and therefore more boat parts, the Iguanas proved that ingenuity and teamwork work best. At the first campfire ceremony, Paige was outraged that she got the boot over the not quite there Jamie. Stay tuned for today's challenge, and the most dramatic campfire ceremony yet, on Total Drama Island!"
"Yip! Yip! Yip!"
"Mr. Muggles, baby, Daddy's still sleeping."
"Yip! Yip! Grrrrrr!"
"What are you growling at… Ahhhh!" Everyone else was already awake to witness Russell freak out discovering the iguana in his tent. He came sprinting out of his tent, Mr. Muggles in hand, wearing only a pair of purple silk boxers, and with his hair horribly messed up.
"Have a nice sleep, Russell?" Bex asked smiling.
"Who put that lizard into my tent, and in Mr. Muggles's favorite outfit?"
"Why, I have no idea what you're talking about," Nessa said. She was holding a banana, slowly unpeeling it.
"Where did you get that food?"
"Chris came by earlier with a crate of fruits," Manny said pointing at a crate on the beach. "He was directed by the producers to deliver edible food at least once every other day." He took a bite out of his apple.
"Come along, Mr. Muggles," Russell said. "We're getting ourselves some real food." He looked into the crate to see that all that was left was mush. "Where did it all go?"
"Well, we were all hungry," Christie said, taking a bite out of her apple.
"And Misty needs to be fed as well," Madison said. "She took over once we had all cleared away from it."
"And you didn't save anything for me?"
"Oh, we did," Christie said.
"Here," Erik tossed him a strawberry.
"One strawberry?" Russell looked at the thing in his hand. He then looked at the others. "What about Mr. Muggles?"
"I wouldn't worry about the fuzz," Walter said as the dog snatched the entire strawberry into his mouth, and began to chew rapidly.
"Hello, Campers," Chris said pulling up to the dock. "Have we got a wonderful challenge planned for you today."
"I don't like the sound of that," Ashlynn said.
"And, it will do good for the world," Chris said. "Okay, everyone stand up and get a bottle of water."
"Why?" Alex asked.
"Because you're going to need it," Chris said. "We're having a good, old-fashioned Walk-a-Thon. And for every mile you guys all walk, one thousand dollars from several wealthy fans will be donated to various charities."
"Why are you promoting charities?" Phoebe asked.
"They're paying me extra," Chris said smiling. "Okay, everyone, your challenge starts in exactly one minute."
Confession Cam:
(Nessa) "And to think that he could have been doing something out of the good of his heart."
(Vinson) "I think I'll do fairly well in this challenge."
(Rufus) "Don't forget that when I win this challenge, I will also have raised the most money for charity as well. Good deeds are just handed to me."
Everyone scrambled to get a bottle of water and dressed for the day in their tiny tents. When they came back out, Chris was in a golf cart.
"To make sure you all keep walking, you each need to clip yourself onto a leash," Chris said. "Or, the dog does in your case, Russell, because we all know you wouldn't go anywhere without Mr. Muggles."
Everyone grumbled as they grabbed leash clips and found a place to clip it to their bodies. Most were around their belt loops. "When you wish to cease, simply unclip yourself, and your leash will automatically reel itself back in. You may then rest and wait for the boat to take you back to the camp site. The last camper walking wins his or her team immunity. And, we're off." Chris started the golf cart and they all began to walk behind it.
"This is so good," Genevieve said "I'll get exercise and burn fat."
"How long do you think this will last?" Todd asked Brooke with a smile.
"Not sure," Brooke shrugged.
"Not as long as that Awake-A-Thon did last season," Nessa said.
"I hope not," Ashlynn said.
"Now I know what a dog feels like," Walter said after the first mile. Everyone was still doing well. After the fifth mile, a few people began to lag slightly, but no one unclipped. It wasn't until the ninth mile that Zak unclipped himself and leaned against a tree for support.
Confession Cam:
(Zak) "I had to think seriously about this. I knew I wasn't going to win this, so I put in a little effort and hoped that my team would win, or at least not vote me off if we lost. Thinking practically, I'll be in the best shape for the next challenge while others who go for a lot longer will still have stiff and sore legs."
"Poor kid," Erik said looking back at him. "I don't think his body was built for this kind of thing."
"He might have the right idea," Eddie said.
"Oh, Eddie, you can't think like that," Genevieve said.
"Hey, don't encourage him to keep going," Russell snapped. "He's on the other team." He then walked a little faster so he put distance between himself and Genevieve. "You're sweating like a pig."
"Wow, you guys are good," Chris said at the eighth mile. "Time to make things a little harder."
Suddenly, the golf cart was moving a little faster, so that everyone had to walk harder and faster. It was at this point that Eddie and Genevieve unclipped and sat down on a rock, exhausted.
Confession Cam:
(Eddie) "I guess I should have retired with Zak, but I really didn't want to look weak. Plus, Genevieve is really nice and funny. If I liked boobs, I would be totes into her."
(Genevieve) "Eddie is such a cutie. I just want to pick him up and hug him like a rag doll. I wish he was a girl, I mean, he's almost close enough to be one."
"Is this legal, even?" Walter asked as they hit mile thirteenth.
"It's not illegal," Chris said.
"Not to mention we are doing this voluntarily," Nessa said.
"It depends on your definition of 'voluntarily'," Phoebe said.
"Hey, if you want to stop, no one's forcing you to keep walking," Rufus said with a smile. "As a matter of fact, how about all you girls leave it to us guys to fight it out."
"If ya'll hasn't noticed, two guys have dropped out, and only one gal," Madison said.
"One less girl than guys," Rufus said.
"Paige would still be walkin'," Madison said. "But, Ah understand if ya'll doesn't think ya'll can beat us."
"Madison, let's not egg him on," Gail said placing a hand on the cowgirl's shoulder.
"Ya'll's is right," Madison nodded. "He ain't worth it."
"And I wouldn't want to humiliate you on international television," Rufus said.
"Okay, that's it," Madison growled. "First one to stop walking is serving the other breakfast in bed every morning until one is eliminated."
"You're on, Annie Oakley," Rufus said with a laugh. "And, I like my grapefruit cut in half with a smidgeon of sugar on each half."
"Ah don't know why ya'll are telling me this," Madison said. "Ah'm gonna be the last camper walking."
"Not to be mean, but you two are giving me a headache," Brooke said.
"Well, if you want to stop walking, no one's making you continue," Autumn said.
"Try telling that to Christie," Walter said, nodding his head toward the Asian assassin who was narrowing her eyes at her teammates every time one of them mentioned being a little tired.
"Aren't any of you dying yet?" Chris asked. "You've walked sixteen miles."
"Who say's we're not dying?" Walter asked.
"Man, you guys are sweating quite a bit," Chris said.
"We have been walking for three hours now," Gail said. She was breathing deeply.
"If you need to stop, no one is going to hold it against you," Alex said giving her a concerned look.
"No," she shook her head. "I could have done better last challenge, but I didn't. I'm making up for it now."
"You can make it up in a different challenge," Alex said. "We won't vote you off."
"We won't be able to," Rufus said. "We're winning this challenge."
"That's what you think," Erik argued. "But, overall, we're doing better than your team right now."
"You guys promise you won't vote me off?" Gail asked.
"Promise," most of her team responded.
"Okay…" she unclipped and fell to her knees. "Ow…"
"You know what, I'm done as well," Walter said unclipping as well. Christie narrowed her eyes at him, but couldn't do anything to stop him.
Over the next four miles, Jamie, Autumn, Brooke, Phoebe, and Russell all dropped out, leaving eleven campers left walking; six Toucans and five Iguanas. As they hit the twenty-fourth mile, they were surprised to see they were back at camp meaning the island had twenty-three miles of beach.
Confession Cam:
(Brooke) "I'm kind of glad I dropped out with Autumn and Phoebe. They're nice when it's just a small group. And, my legs were killing me. Plus, I couldn't accept Todd's offer to carry me."
(Todd) "Yeah, I think my team just about jumped me when I offered to carry Brooke. In hindsight, that wasn't such a good idea because I would have had to drop out a lot earlier."
"If you want to stop, Sweetie, this would be the place to do it," Rufus said to Madison.
"Ah can keep walking like this all day," she responded. "Ah'm used to much worse conditions on uneven grounds."
"Hey, you guys made a whole lap around the island," Eddie said looking up.
"How did you get back?" Todd asked
"The interns are picking us up in speed boats and taking us back," Genevieve said. "I filled up some water bottles for you." She handed one to everyone left on her team.
"You know what," Nessa said. "This is really toning my legs."
"Yes, look at the bright side of it," Christie said. "You know, aside from the fact that you're trying to help us win."
"I'm surprised that more of you haven't dropped out," Chris said.
"Hey, Brookworm, how you doing?" Todd called her as they passed her sitting in the shade of a tree reading a novel. She looked up and smiled at him, and he returned the smile.
"Don't even think about," Bex warned, grabbing his arm and forcing him to keep going.
"See you all again at the forty-six mark," Manny called out as they walked out of sight.
"Hm, I think we're going to have to make this a little more challenging," Chris said, and once again, he started to go faster in the golf cart. Now, power walking was the only way to keep up with the golf cart. Ashlynn found out the hard way that falling too far behind would snap the string, which then back-lashed and snapped against her face.
"Oh, are you okay?" Erik asked, unclipping to make sure she wasn't hurt.
"Does it look bad?" Ashlynn asked taking her hand off her face.
"Not at all…" Erik said. "The line is actually kind of cute." She smiled at him and blushed slightly.
Confession Cam:
(Ashlynn) There is a slight red line across her face at an angle. "If I had known was going to snap like that, I would have dropped out at the camp." Rubs red mark. "That really stung."
"Erik!" Nessa yelled. "Oh, never mind." She turned to the other three members of her team. "Manny, Christie, Vinson, do not stop walking or else!"
"Wasn't planning on it," Christie said.
"We've still got the edge," Rufus said. "As there are five of us, and four of you."
"Are you so sure about that?" Nessa asked.
Rufus turned his head to see Alex lagging. "Pick up your pace, man."
"If you need to stop, it's okay," Todd said to his teammate.
"Agreed," Bex called out.
Alex nodded and unclipped.
"Now it's even," Christie said.
Another four miles later, and everyone was lagging a bit. "That's it," Nessa said and unclipped herself before leaning against a tree for support.
"I've lost feeling in my legs," Bex said.
"Then stop," Christie said.
"Not if my life depended on it."
"How you holding up, Texas?" Todd looked at Madison.
"Ah could still keep this up all day," she said. "How about ya'lls guys?"
"I've got the energy to keep this up for a long time as well," Todd said.
"I could go twice the amount we've gone," Christie said.
"Vinson?" Manny asked the quietest camper.
He shrugged. "I think I've got another three laps in me."
Rufus tried not to let his jaw drop. "Three laps?" He had to compose himself before continuing. "Nice poker face, but there's no way you have that much energy."
"Okay, I'm giving up," Bex said unclipping, and then allowing herself to just fall backwards, landing in the sand.
Confession Cam:
(Bex) "Stopping when I did was the best idea I ever did. He had three laps left in him. If he hadn't been on the other team, I would have kissed him."
"Wanna keep her company, I won't complain," Rufus said to Madison.
"Ah'm not stopping until Ah've won this thing," she said.
"Stop flirting, you two," Christie said. "It's kind of annoying."
"Flirtin?" Madison asked. "With him? Not happening."
"I don't flirt," Rufus said. "And, as head over heels Madison probably is for me, doesn't really make a difference. She's not my type."
"What's yer type?" Madison asked. "Big-breasted and stupid?"
"No, feminine," Rufus replied.
"Yeah, right," Manny said rolling his eyes.
"You're flirting," Vinson said.
"He speaks," Rufus said with a smirk.
As they hit mile thirty-five, Chris sighed. "What is wrong with you? Your legs should have fallen off by now."
"I've still got at least twice this much left in me," Rufus bragged.
"Is that so?" Chris smiled.
"Oh good going," Todd growled, knowing Chris has something planned. Suddenly, the golf cart was moving even faster so that they all had to start jogging to keep up.
"Let's see how long you all last at this rate," Chris said.
Todd, Manny, Christie, Madison, and Vinson all shot glares at Rufus. "You are so dead when this is over," Christie said. "Mark my words."
"I'm so afraid," Rufus rolled his eyes.
"You should be," Manny reminded him as Christie pulled out her ever-trusty knife and sliced his cord.
"Hey!" Rufus yelled, seeing he was no longer connected. "That is so not fair."
"No rules against it," Chris said. Rufus frowned.
"Chris, seriously, there has to be some sort of penalty or let Rufus reconnect," Todd reasoned.
"Granted he is on the team, I want to win this fairly," Manny said.
"Fine, Christie, you're off," Chris said.
"What!"
"Not your best move," Manny said.
"We'll take what we can get," Madison said. "Buh bye, Christie."
Christie frowned and unclipped, then sat down on the shore waiting for the boat.
Confession Cam:
(Christie) "So unfair. There were no rules, so there can't be penalties. And what was it with Manny, agreeing with the other team?"
(Rufus) "She is so dead when I get my hands on her. And there is no way I am serving Miss Hick breakfast, I was unfairly kicked out of the competition."
(Madison) "Aah, he's gonna be my slave. He could have kept walking, even out of the competition, but he didn't."
"So, then there were four," Vinson said.
"How's it feel being the only girl left, Maddie?" Todd asked.
She turned to him slowly, fire in her eyes. "Don't call me Maddie! It's Madison or Mads or Texas. Not Maddie!"
"Um… sorry…" Todd said. "You know, this jogging is not working for me. Keep up the good work, Madison." And he unclipped.
Confession Cam:
(Todd) "I've looked the devil in the eyes and survived. Mads works well for her."
"Now you're outnumbered in more ways than one," Manny said.
"That's how Ah like it," Madison said.
"How is your family life?" Manny asked. "Just out of curiosity."
"Fine," Madison said. "Why? Ah'm very close with my siblings… granted, I think my little brother is afraid of me."
"How old is he?" Vinson asked.
"You know, you should talk more often," Madison said. "And he's two years younger. And my sister is four and a half years younger. And my other brother is seven minutes younger."
"You have a twin?" Manny asked.
"There are two of you?" Vinson asked.
Madison laughed. "We're nothing alike except in hair color and we like horseback riding. He's all nice and calm and gentlemanly. He's weird."
"He's the weird one?" Vinson asked.
Madison stuck out her tongue at him. "Yes, he is. We're from Texas. He acts like he's an Oakie or something."
"You three are persistent," Chris said. "Will two of you just give up already?"
"Not a chance," Madison said.
"Uh, do we get a break for the bathroom?" Vinson asked.
"Nope," Chris said. "You can either hold it in, go in your pants, or quit."
Vinson bit his lip and looked at Manny. "I drank too much water, man."
"That's fine," Manny said. "I can win this."
Vinson unclipped, then trotted behind a bush.
Confession Cam:
(Vinson) "I really had to go. And I'm enough of an oddball, I wasn't about to soil my clothes."
"So, Madison, how much more you got?"
"More than ya'll," she replied. "Ah helped mah little bro train for a marathon in the spring."
"Your brother ran a marathon?" Manny asked, surprised.
"Not yet," Madison said. "He has a three year training program set up for himself. He's not old enough yet." Madison smiled. "Hey, Chris, is this as fast as this pony wagon can go?"
"Crap!" Manny gulped.
"Pony wagon?" Chris snapped, looking back at Madison.
Confession Cam:
(Chris) "Just so we are clear, that golf cart is top of the line."
"You want faster?"
"No," Manny said.
"I'll give you faster." He then stomped down on the pedal. Madison and Manny began sprinting, Manny trying desperately to unclip so that he wouldn't get whipped in the face if his string broke.
"Chris, stop," Manny yelled. "I quit. I give. Toucans win!"
Chris slowly brought the golf cart to a stop and Manny unclipped himself, then bent forward, breathing deeply. He glanced up at Madison, who was happy dancing and unclipping herself. "You're insane."
"Mah brothers tell me that all the time," Madison said. "Ah'm fine with the truth." She whistled, and within a few seconds, Misty appeared at her side. "Good girl. See ya'll suckas at the campsite!" She jumped on Misty's back and rode out of sight.
"You gotta hand it to her, that was a pretty smart move," Chris said.
"Just drive back to the camp," Manny said climbing on the golf cart.
"Sorry, but this isn't a bus," Chris said, pushing Manny out and then speeding away.
Once back at the camp sight, Chris smiled. "And the Toucans win this challenge, with Madison lasting the longest. Okay, Madison, as you went the longest, you're allowed to choose one person from the other team to be safe from elimination. Who are you going to choose?"
Madison smirked. "Well, Ah'm gonna hafta save Vinson. Ya'lls is so quiet, Ah'm gonna make ya'lls talk more often."
"Okay, Vinson, you are safe. Iguanas, you have to vote off one of your teammates. I will see you at the campfire ceremony."
So, that's the second challenge. Review please, and if your character is an Iguana, please PM your vote to me. i'd do a rundown, but I'm tired and I have to pack because I'm going home for a week from college. Just remember, you can't vote off Vinson.
