Chapter 2—Boston Key Party
AN: I was really bored today. I must write fast or something. I also update pretty fast, so there shouldn't be too much down time. Let me know if I'm going too fast. Anyway, here we go.
***Recap***
Chris: Last time on Total Drama American Tour, we met sixteen new contestants from various backgrounds and places in the United States. We all met in New York City where we had a new surprise twist. Two people were sent home immediately by vote off. It was a test of first impressions, and it paid off with Jane and Jake eliminated. The fourteen remaining contestants are now on their way to Boston for the first real challenge in the competition. Stay tuned right now on TDAT!

It was still night time in Central Park. "Who voted for me?" Logan thought to himself.
"What's wrong, man?" Dakota went to see what was wrong.
"I feel like someone voted for me."
"How do you know? Is it because Chris called your name near the end?"
"Maybe. It's really bothering me."
"Don't think about it. It was just a first impression thing. There must be some people that appreciate you."
"Maybe you're right."
"Let's get some sleep, man."
Logan and Dakota went into the hotel along with the others to spend the night.
At the hotel, Josh was in a similar situation. "Who would vote me off?" he whispered to himself. "I'm hot. I'm sexy. Girls should be kissing my feet, and my lips. At least that freak Jake's gone, though it was no surprise."
Lucas noticed Josh was talking to himself. "Wow. Are you crazy? I'm trying to get some sleep."
"What do girls want, Lucas?"
"Don't be in their face so much. You've got to let them have their space. Also don't talk to yourself. It's really creepy." Lucas turned off the light and both of them went to sleep.
The next morning, the fourteen remaining contestants followed Chris back to JFK airport to board the new Total Drama Jumbo Jet, which was just finished by Chef Hatchet. "So this is it?" Xander asked. "I think it should be green."
"Sorry. It's gray." Chris answered. "Green's just too expensive."
"Okay then." Michelle added. "I would have preferred pink, but I guess I can live with gray."
"I really wanted pink." Tonia said.
"Let's just move on." Chris said as everyone got into the plane. The first room on the tour had a set of recliners. "This room is the lounge. It has four recliners and a TV that has the major broadcast networks."
"Cool! I get to watch football!" Xander exclaimed.
"Not all day." Roxanne interrupted. "I've got my action movies to watch."
"What about my sitcoms?" Leilene added.
"Hush, all three of you." Chris got everyone back on track. "Everyone will get to watch TV later. Follow me." Chris took everyone into the galley of the plane. "This is where Chef will prepare your food. It's the same stuff our last batch of contestants ate." Chris took everyone to the back of the plane. "This is the elimination area. The losing team will have to vote someone off every week. Every week will have an elimination, so there are no reward challenges."
"No rewards? Seriously?" Dakota asked.
"None. Winning team gets invincibility." Chris replied. "Now we need to get to the front half of the plane." Chris took everyone to a long, narrow compartment with eight beds. "This is the girls' quarters."
"Bunks?" Holly asked.
"You've got a problem with that?" Chris answered.
"And they're not pink!" Tonia added. "Everything's got to be pink!"
***Confessional***
Roxanne: What's up with Tonia wanting everything to be pink? Xander's not much better with his football obsession.
***Back to Game***
"Green covers for all. Guys included. The guys' quarters are on the other side of the plane. They look just like these." Chris took everyone back to the lounge for some more explanations. "Chef will be flying the plane between destinations. Use the bathroom as a confessional, and stay out of my quarters and the cockpit. The cargo area is also off limits. We had a problem with a contestant hanging around there last time."
"I heard about that." Logan said. "He turned feral and had to get therapy sessions to get back to normal."
"Really?" Dakota added. "I heard he's still in therapy."
"It was in the news all last year." Samantha chimed in. "Reality TV Host sued for massive damages against…"
"ZIP IT RIGHT NOW!" Chris was not happy with facing his past. Everyone was silent. Chef did the last of the checks before entering the plane and going towards the cockpit. The escape hatch closed automatically, and the plane prepared to take off. "Are we moving?" Leilene asked.
"Sure are." Holly answered. "Though we'd better get to our destination quick."
"Airsick?" Seeiah asked Holly.
"No. I just hate flying."
"I've done it all the time."
"Not really at much as me." Roxanne interrupted. "I fly all the time as part of my stunt work."
"Really. I travel a lot with my family." Seeiah answered.
"Whatever, you bald-headed freak." Roxanne and Seeiah got into a fight in the middle of the lounge. They fought for about thirty seconds before Logan broke it up. "Stop it you two!"
"It's on, Roxy!" Seeiah yelled out
"It's ROCKY" Roxanne yelled back.
***Confessional***
Seeiah: How dare she insult my style! I am who I am, and no one's gonna change that!
Logan: Rocky and Seeiah need to calm down. Especially Seeiah. We need her to help us win this challenge.
***Back to Game***
The flight only lasted thirty minutes before Chris made an announcement. "Get ready contestants for our first challenge. We're landing in Boston right now, so get ready." The plane landed on the Boston runway. After a complete stop, everyone got out and followed Chris out of the airport. Chris called four taxis that took everyone to Boston Harbor where they found a colonial era ship with some locked crates.
Everyone got out of their taxis and formed into their teams. Chris started to explain the first challenge. "Welcome to Boston, Massachusetts. Today's challenge is based off the events of the Boston Tea Party, where angry colonists threw crates of tea into the ocean to protest against England."
"We don't need a history lesson, McLean." Lucas interrupted.
"Shut up, Lucas." Chris continued. "These crates here are locked, but instead of throwing them into the ocean, you'll be opening up these crates using special keys located throughout the harbor. Each team has to find three keys. Team Freedom's are red, and Team Liberty's are blue. First team to open all their crates and throw the contents overboard wins the challenge."
"So we've got to throw the contents overboard?" Samantha asked.
"Certainly, but not the crates themselves. Ready?" Chris sounded a foghorn and the challenge started.
"Ooh, can I dive in the water?" Elijah asked his team.
"What's in there?" Seeiah replied.
"Maybe a baby seal, or even a key."
"You're gonna regret it." Elijah took off his sweater and dived right into the water to look for a key. He bolted out immediately afterwards. "AAAAHHHH!"
***Confessional***
Seeiah: Told him he'd regret it.
Elijah: That water was FREEZING! I'm never going in there again!
***Back to Game***
At Team Liberty, Lucas and Jasper went together to look for some keys. "We need three keys. Can you help me go to the fishery to find a key?"
Jasper nodded his head yes.
"What's the matter? Don't talk?"
Jasper shrugged.
"Okay then. Let's go." Jasper and Lucas went together towards the fishery to find a key. Jasper pointed towards what looked like a blue key hanging on the roof of the fishery. "OK. How good are you at climbing?"
No response.
"You've got to talk or we're not going to win this challenge. Just try and climb up the wall."
Jasper attempted to climb the fishery wall to get the key. He wasn't really good and only got three feet off the ground before landing flat on his butt.
"Haha. Not good." Lucas laughed at Jasper for a while before he attempted to climb the fishery wall himself, and after four attempts, he finally got the key. "Two more." The two of them went back to the ship.
Meanwhile, Michelle and Xander needed to get a red key located in the mast of the cargo ship. "I'm not climbing up that rigging." Michelle complained. "You do it, Xander."
"With pleasure!" Xander started to climb up the rigging. When he reached the top, he yelled out "GREEN BAY RULES! NEW ENGLAND SUCKS!" at the top of his lungs after grabbing the key.
"Don't ever do that again!" Michelle yelled as Xander climbed down the rigging. He gave her the key and Michelle opened up their first crate. It contained nothing but white feathers. The two of them easily lifted the crate and threw the feathers overboard.
At Team Liberty, Roxanne, Tonia, and Leilene attempted to find a blue key hanging from the bow of the ship No one knew how to get it at first, since it was too low to grab from above and too high to grab it from the water. "One of us needs to get in the water and catch the key." Tonia said as Leilene and Roxanne were listening.
"I'll do it." Roxanne leaped into the freezing water. Tonia got some scissors from her purse to snip the cord holding the key. She cut the cord, and the dangling key was free to drop into the cold water below. Roxanne was ready to catch the key. However, she was in the wrong spot and missed the catch.
***Confessional***
Tonia: Now we know who to vote off.
Leilene: Rocky's causing us lots of problems.
***Back to Game***
Roxanne dove deeper into the water to attempt to retrieve the now sunken key. She noticed a key at the bottom of the ocean. Thinking it looked blue, she grabbed it, and resurfaced quickly.
Elijah noticed Roxanne holding a red key in the middle of the ocean. "Hey! No work for us!"
"That's not out key!" Leilene shouted at Roxanne.
Roxanne realized her mistake and threw the red key back in the ocean water.
***Confessional***
Elijah: She's really mean. Now I've got to go back in there. At least I was right about there being a key in the water.
***Back to Game***
Elijah had to go back into the water to get the key Roxanne threw in there. While he was in the water, Lucas and Jasper got back from their excursion at the fishery. They opened their crate filled with black feathers and tossed the feathers overboard. Roxanne finally got the blue key she was looking for at the bottom of the sea and gave it to Tonia.
Tonia opened the second lock and this crate contained bags of tea. "Let's throw these overboard." With Leilene's help, she tried to lift the crate with the tea, but it was a little heavy. Lucas and Jasper helped, and all four of them threw the tea overboard.
Meanwhile, Logan, Dakota, and Samantha tried to find the third red key. They noticed a key inside a display case in an Italian restaurant. "Let's go." Dakota said as all three of them went towards the restaurant.
"Whata are you a doing a?" a waiter asked as the three of them went into the restaurant.
"We need to find a key."
"No a shirta, no a shoesa, no a servicea." The waiter kicked the two boys out. Samantha was allowed to stay.
***Confessional***
Dakota: I AM wearing a shirt! It's just opened up so the girls can see my sexy abs.
Logan: Hey! I'm wearing my overalls. That counts as a shirt right?
***Back to Game***
Dakota buttoned up his shirt as Logan put his sweater on. The two of them reentered the restaurant as they rejoined Samantha. "I need to ask you a quick question." Samantha asked.
"What a is it?" The waiter answered.
"I need to see that display case. It has a red key my friends and I need."
"No a salea. Go awaya."
"We really need to get to that display case. We really need that key." Dakota answered.
The four of them continued arguing as Josh and Holly went to find the last blue key. They located it at a lighthouse on the harbor. "We just need to climb these stairs right?" Josh asked.
"Yes, you. That's what stairs are for." Holly asked.
"If we win, can I take you on a date?"
"In your dreams perv boy. Is that all you think of?"
"No?"
"Just don't talk to me. In fact, don't even talk to any of the girls here if you know what's good for you." The two of them climbed up the lighthouse and got the last key with ease.
Meanwhile at the ship, Elijah returned with the second red key. The team worked together to open up the crate filled with bags of tea and throw the bags overboard. "Now we just need that last key." Xander said as the team waited patiently.
It was starting to get dark. At the restaurant, Dakota, Logan, and Samantha finally persuaded the waiter to give them their last key. They quickly ran back to the ship, with Dakota unbuttoning his shirt on the way. By the time they got there, Team Liberty already unlocked their third crate filled with 50 lb weights. All seven of them worked quickly to unload the weights and throw them overboard.
Team Freedom opened their last crate. Their strategy was to let Logan and Dakota do the heavy lifting and the others to throw them into the water. Michelle thought of an idea. "Why don't we build a slide to make it easier to get rid of these weights?"
"Not a bad idea, Michelle." Seeiah answered. "We girls can build the slide while the boys continue to throw weights.
However, by the time the slide was built, it was too late. Team Liberty threw the last of their weights into the water. "Team Liberty wins!" Chris exclaimed.
***Confessional***
Seeiah: It really wasn't a bad idea. We were just not fast enough.
***Back to Game***
All fourteen contestants got onto the plane. Team Freedom had to vote someone off. "I'm not sure who to vote off." Logan asked his two friends.
"Seeiah's too crazy. Xander's annoying. Tough call." Samantha answered.
"Maybe we get rid of Xander, then Seeiah." Dakota chimed in.
"No. Maybe Seeiah first. We need Xander's strength." Logan added.
Meanwhile, Seeiah and Michelle were trying to decide who to vote off. "Those three farmers took too long. We need to get rid of them." Seeiah stated.
"Which one first?" Michelle asked.
"I don't know. We could get rid of Xander, too. He's annoying all of us."
Xander already made up his mind as him and Elijah watched some football in the lounge. "Who you voting for, Eli?"
"No idea. What about you?"
"I've decided."
Chris called all seven members of Team Freedom to the elimination area to vote someone off.
AN: Voting time! Team Freedom needs to vote someone off. Votes will be tallied in either three days or after everyone has voted. (Whichever comes first.) You can still review the story, but your vote must be sent via PM, or it won't count.
