Chris walked down the Dock of Shame, this time wearing a fedora and a slightly less evil grin. The footage from last episode began to play as Chris began his regular recap. "Last time on Total Drama All-Stars, the campers challenged their fears in our Fear Factor challenge! Courtney dived into the jelly this time, and Vera had a truck of worms dumped onto her! But the biggest surprise was when Mimi actually stripped naked! In the end, Linus blew it for his team and was sent home. Plus, Petunia our intern got a lucky break and joined the cast since Ryan had to legally quit the show. What will our campers face today? Find out right here on Total Drama All-Stars!"
-Intro Plays-
The camera turns on to shot inside of the Gophers' girls' cabin where they were getting ready as usual. Mimi was crying to herself on her bed while Vera kept making fun of her for various things. Petunia entered the cabin with her bag. "Um... hi! I'm Petunia, I'm on your team now, since Ryan had to leave. Is there an empty bed?" Petunia asked a little loudly, trying to get anyone's attention.
Dawn noticed Petunia first and walked up to her. "Hello Petunia. You can take Marinna's bunk since she left. I hope we can become good friends." Dawn said soothingly as she pointed to the bunk above Mimi's bed.
Mimi looked over at Petunia for a second and extended her hand. "Hi Petunia! I'm Mimi!" Mimi introduced herself, hoping that Petunia hadn't seen her in the previous episode.
Petunia shook Mimi's hand. "Nice to meet you Mimi. I know who you are, I saw you in Total Drama Jet Plane." Petunia said as she threw her bag onto her bunk and sat down next to Mimi.
Mimi was a happy that Petunia hadn't brought up yesterday, so she assumed that she wasn't there. "Don't hang near her Petunia, she's a very naughty girl." Vera warned, making Mimi's smile fade away instantly.
Petunia nodded, "Thanks Vera. I'll keep that in mind." Petunia replied as she got up onto her bed. "Ugh, so dusty..." Petunia sighed as she grabbed a feather duster and dusted a bit of the dust off of her bed.
Just as everyone had left the cabin, Vera stopped Mimi before she left and stood in front of the door. "Hold up. I need to talk to you real quick. You have do everything I say from now on." Vera said.
Mimi raised an eyebrow, "W-Why?" Mimi asked nervously. Vera smirked, "It'll be part of our alliance. Let's face it. You're the worst member of our team. I can convince everyone to vote you off. You do everything I say, and you stay in the game. If you blab, you're gone as well." Vera explained with a grin on her face.
-Confessional- Mimi
"Why is Vera targeting me!? It's so unfair. But she's right about everything. I can do this though! I'll get her booted off, then I don't have to deal with this. You can do it Mimi... you can do it Mimi."
-Confessional- Vera
"I hate Mimi. She has that innocence to her that I just hate! She reminds me of Lemmy in a lot of ways, another reason I hate her. When I make fun of her, I feel less hate towards her."
-End Confessionals-
Mimi sighed and shook Vera's hand, "Okay, I'll work with you for now... just, don't make me do anything too crazy." Mimi said as she left the cabin hastily.
Mimi entered the mess hall and got in line with a noticeable frown on her face. "What happened?" Noah asked as he turned around to face Mimi. "I've decided to uh... try to work things out with Vera." Mimi said in response.
Mimi quickly grabbed her breakfast from Chef and sat down next to Petunia. Petunia scooted away from Mimi quickly however, still listening to Vera.
Noah and Dawn sat down next to Petunia and refused to touch their food, ignoring it. "Hello Petunia. Would you be interested in joining our alliance?" Dawn asked as she simply stirred her spoon back and forth in her bowl of gray goop.
Petunia nodded her head excitingly. "Of course! I'm a huge Noah fan!" Petunia exclaimed as she hugged Noah. "Now I see why Cody hated Sierra..." Noah said as Petunia let go. "Don't worry. I'm not crazy or anything. I just cheered you on whenever I watched the show." Petunia explained.
Noah almost smiled, "I see. I don't have to worry about my stuff randomly disappearing then." Noah said with relief and a little bit of sarcasm.
Petunia laughed a little bit as she stirred her spoon in her bowl. "You're funny Noah." Petunia commented.
At the Bass table, Courtney was talking with Ezekiel, Han and Junior were discussing sports, and Valor was trying to eat the gray goop. "Ezekiel, how do you think we can get our team to actually win some challenges?" Courtney asked.
Ezekiel finished swallowing a chunk of gray goop and answered, "I don't know ay'e. I just try at the challenges and see what happens. Like, we should just try to win. Get what I mean ay'e?" Ezekiel asked as he put another spoonful of goop into his mouth.
Courtney rolled her eyes in annoyance. Ezekiel was hard to talk to sometimes. Fortunately for her, she didn't have to respond as Chris entered the mess hall. "I see you are all enjoying breakfast." Chris said with a laugh as everyone except Ezekiel was not even touching the goop.
Chris opened the door up to the mess hall and motioned for everyone to follow him with his hand. "I wonder what fun we are in for today?" Lizabeth asked sarcastically as she followed everyone else out the door.
Chris led the campers to the beach where 10 canoes were set up along the shore. "Today's challenge is a take on the challenge from the original season where the teams will ride their canoes to Boney Island! There, you will walk your canoes to the other side of the island, before riding the canoes all the way back here. We took out the fire bit because we have no idea who is in possession of a lighter. Remember, do not take anything off of the island, or you'll be cursed forever, or just until whatever you took was destroyed." Chris explained as thunder went off behind him.
Chris raised an air horn into the air with his right hand. "Get in your canoes, and then I will set off the horn, starting the challenge. Move campers move!" Chris shouted as everyone walked down the stairs to the sand.
Dawn, Noah, and Petunia began to push one canoe into the ocean together and got in. Viola and Lily got in another canoe and Lily pushed it into the ocean next to Dawn's canoe. Amanda and Maddie got into their canoe next to them, while Popo took his own canoe. Vera got in the last canoe for the Gophers and looked over at Mimi. "Mimi, can you push the canoe into the ocean for me?" Vera asked in a fake nice voice.
Mimi sighed and rolled her eyes as she began to push the canoe into the ocean. "You know, it would be easier if you weren't in the canoe." Mimi said as she got the canoe into the water and hopped in herself.
For the Bass, Valor and Jasmine sat down in a canoe together. They were getting along well, so they decided to ride together. Ezekiel had pushed a canoe into the water already and was looking for a partner. "Hey Courtney! Be my partner ay'e?" Ezekiel called out. Courtney sighed and got in the canoe in the front while Ezekiel got in the back.
Han was pushing a canoe into the water when Junior walked up next to him and helped push it. "Thanks man. Want to ride together?" Han asked as they got the canoe into the water. "Sure, why not?" Junior replied as the two got in the canoe.
Lizabeth and Rosa shared a canoe as they both slowly pushed it into the water, while Josh took the fifth Bass canoe to himself as he struggled to get his into the water. "Rosa, look at Josh. He's so weak. Should we help him?" Lizabeth asked as the two got into their canoes. "Nah." Rosa simply answered before laughing a bit.
Chris blew the air horn and everyone began to paddle to Boney Island. Mimi was on her Gameguy Advance pretending to paddle, much to Vera's annoyance. Vera scooted backwards to see what Mimi was playing and got ready to yell at her. "What'cha playing?" Vera asked.
Mimi looked up for a split second and went straight back to playing. "It's just a small rhythm mini game. I imported it from Japan. The mini game is about this quiz show where you have to match the rhythm of the host by pressing buttons." Mimi explained as Vera looked at the small screen.
Vera watched as the "host" in the game turn from a friendly light blue person to an angry red demon like person. "What was that?! That's pretty weird." Vera asked startled as she went back to rowing. "It's the host. The further you get, the more the host becomes a demon. Maybe playing this foreshadows something. The way you get further in the quiz show and the host gets more scary could symbolize something. We'll never know." Mimi said as she pressed away on the buttons.
Vera handed Mimi a paddle and glared at her. "Put that game on pause and paddle. Or maybe I'll be that demon you're talking about." Vera warned with a sly smirk on her face. Mimi nodded quickly and began to paddle.
Courtney and Ezekiel were paddling at a good pace, slightly ahead of most of the canoes. "Hey Courtney, why do you hate me? You get annoyed with what I say ay'e?" Ezekiel asked to pass the time.
Courtney turned around and pointed a finger at Ezekiel, "Because I don't like to listen to a sexist jerk!" Courtney responded angrily.
"But I was wrong ay'e! Girls can do cool things too." Ezekiel quickly said back in defense.
Courtney rolled her eyes. "You still won't change my mind. You're a freak. You're sexist. And I hate you. So shut up and paddle. We're almost there." Courtney said coldly as the two continued to paddle.
After another 5 minutes of paddling, the teams arrived at Boney Island, with Josh being the last to arrive. "Chris said we need to get to the other side of the island. Let's go quickly!" Amanda said as she and Maddie picked up their canoe and began to walk fast. The rest of the Gophers nodded and followed behind Amanda.
"We've got to beat the Gophers to the other side! Follow me everyone!" Courtney shouted as she and Ezekiel picked up their canoe and began to walk fast as well. The Bass hastily followed Courtney with Josh in the back dragging his canoe along the ground.
-Confessional- Josh
"Okay, maybe going solo was a bad idea..."
-End Confessional-
The Gophers reached a fork in the dirt path and came to a stop. "Which way do we go?" Maddie asked. "If I remember watching TDI correctly, the right path was quicker." Petunia answered, pointing to the right dirt path.
"Good thinking Petunia. Your mind is just as big as your aura." Dawn complimented and smiled at Petunia. "Aww, thanks. I just watch a lot of Total Drama." Petunia said as she briefly scratched the back of her head.
The Bass reached the same fork in the dirt road and looked back and forth in both ways. "The Gophers went right..." Courtney began, "So let's go left." Han finished as he and Junior began to walk down the left path. Courtney and everyone else nodded and followed.
The Gopher's path was short, but it was filled with animals, most of which were vicious. There were bear attacks and crow attacks commonly on the path. "The path is short, but it's dangerous! I think the other path would have been better." Viola said as the Gophers continued to walk.
"We're still doing better in the challenge though, which is all that matters." Maddie noted as they continued to walk. Lizabeth nodded in agreement.
The complaints soon ended however as the Gophers reached a clearing in the woods. The shore was now visible and there were many cheers from the team as they set their canoes down and high-fived each other. "Thanks Petunia! We couldn't have gotten here quickly without you. I almost feel bad for the Bass." Popo thanked as he quickly high fived Petunia.
"We'll get the canoe into the water Petunia. Take a quick little break." Noah said as he and Dawn began to push the canoe through the sand and towards the water.
While the rest of the team was pushing the canoes, Petunia was looking at the flowers. Then she noticed it, a small wooden figure of a head, but with horns coming out of it. "What's this?" Petunia asked herself as she picked up the figure. She almost thought she heard a voice from the figure. This world will eventually reach the point of no return... Saving the lives of all is impossible. Only the chosen ones will obtain a ticket to tomorrow. Do you want to have a ticket? Or, do you want to stop me? Petunia stuck the head into her jacket pocket before proceeding to join her team.
With the Bass, the team was having trouble finding their way through the forest. "We are so lost. We lost the challenge already as well probably." Courtney sighed as she tried to find a clear path.
Jasmine walked up to Courtney and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Don't feel bad. We just made a mistake! Let's get past that and move on!" Jasmine said as she went back to her canoe and marched on with Rosa.
Courtney nodded her head and continued to walk with the rest of the Bass. "Thanks Jasmine, I needed that." Courtney said with relief in her voice before taking a huge breath.
The Gophers were already in their canoes and ready to paddle off. "Let's go! To victory!" Amanda shouted as the team began to paddle. Victory was almost assured for the Gophers now.
As soon as they left the shore of the island however, Petunia began to hear a ringing in her ear. Dawn noticed the look on Petunia's face and became concerned. "What's wrong Petunia? Your aura, it's wilting." Dawn asked with distress in her voice.
Petunia fixed her hair up a little bit and answered. "I don't know. I just hear some ringing in my ears." Petunia responded. Dawn nodded her head and went back to paddling.
The Bass had finally reached the shore of Boney Island and got out of the forest, but had little hope since the Gophers were already half way there to camp. "How are we supposed to win now? They have such a big advantage!" Valor pointed out angrily.
Courtney got in her canoe and raised her paddle. "We just paddle as fast as we can and do our best! It's all we can do, so let's give it our best shot!" Courtney shouted as she and Ezekiel began to paddle through the water.
The rest of the Bass got in their canoes and began to paddle as fast as they could as well. "We can catch them if we try!" Courtney shouted as she paddled as fast as they could.
The Gophers were almost at the beach of camp and were about ready to celebrate their victory when Courtney and Ezekiel's canoe went right past them. "No way! Hurry! Before the rest of them come!" Vera shouted as all of the Gophers began to row quickly.
It was too late for that however, as three more Bass canoes rocketed past the Gophers. "We won! Yes!" Junior cheered as he and Han's canoe arrived on shore.
Amanda and a few other Gophers sighed as they all reached the shore and got out of their canoes. "The Gophers are the winners!" Chris announced, much to the Bass's surprise.
Courtney was flabbergasted at this and looked as though she would blow a fuse. "WHAT!? HOW DID WE LOOOooose..." Courtney yelled, before slowing down when she saw Josh still paddling, nearly out of breath.
"So yeah, Bass, I'll be seeing you at the elimination ceremony tonight." Chris said as he walked away from the shocked and mad Bass team.
Later that night, there was no real elimination ceremony. The vote was unanimous, save for Josh's vote. No one got any marshmallows, just Josh was sent down the dock of shame. "About time we got rid of that weakling." Rosa chuckled, playfully elbowing Lizabeth.
-Confessional- Lizabeth
"What can I say? Josh practically signed the deed."
-Confessional- Petunia
"My h-head. It hurts. I need to get some sleep."
-End Confessionals-
