AN: Hey, guys, DarkShockBro here! Still pumping out these updates, which is always nice. Some edits are finally start to take hold, so I hope you'll enjoy them and this chapter in general!

Spider and Quana stood on the Dock of Shame late with the moon casting rays of light on the water to make that area glisten with beauty.

The messy redhead was the first to speak. "Last time on Total Drama Letterama, we formed three teams. The fiery Team Savannah, the gusty Team Everest and the tropical Team Mongolia. With three teams of eight, all bets were off, and everyone did their best to make sure their team was the best. Tyson got lucky and won immunity because his Easter Egg from the first day had a golden token. As such, he sat out of the challenge and would join the team that lost the challenge after they voted somebody off."

The Hispanic girl smiled. "The first real challenge was building a signal fire. Heh, you know, looking back at it, Team Everest had an unfair advantage because they had a pyro and a girl scout on their team. But even still, the teams worked together in hopes of winning first place, or second place, so that they could, at the very least, avoid elimination."

Spider then added, "Alice took charge of her team, Team Mongolia, and Bishop was one of the biggest critics of her aggressive leadership. Meanwhile, Gordon drank beer and insulted his team mates instead of doing much in the challenge. Additionally, Quarla bullied Paul a lot for whatever reason."

The sick redhead then cleared his throat and continued. "In the end, Team Everest won the challenge after Barney, our judge, said their signal fire was the best. Additionally, Team Mongolia came second, so they were also safe. However, Team Savannah lost and had to vote somebody off. Due to his alcoholic addiction, bad attitude and grabbing Sasha's butt in front of his team, Gordon ended up as the first person voted off."

The Hispanic girl shuddered. "Yeah… if he was willing to chase Sasha down just to grope her ass, who knows what he'd do in the future? Well, the good news is that we won't have the find out the answer to that, now that he's gone. Also, is there any word on VayVay?"

Spider sighed. "I'm afraid she's still MIA. Still, I think she'll be there on the fifth day of the competition."

Quana smiled. "Gee, I hope she'll be here soon; she's missing out on all the fun!"

Spider chuckled. "Indeed, she is, my lovely. So, what will the next challenge be? Will any new friendships and conflicts form? And who will be the second person voted off? Find out now, on the third episode of Total Drama Letterama!"

Ulric, Tyson, Paul, and Yannis were all laying under their individual blankets in the Loser Cabin in a desperate attempt to warm up, yet they weren't doing an amazing job at it. However, their spirits were not dampened as Ulric said, "Hey, welcome to the team, Tyson. You're definitely better than Gordon was, so that's always a plus."

Tyson nodded. "Totally dude, that guy gave me a hangover just by looking at him. Plus, I'm a soda man myself."

Paul then shivered and huddled up in a corner before nervously saying, "Germs, germs, germs! I've gotta clean this place up now!"

The guitarist shrugged. "It isn't so bad dude. This is my second night here, and besides the obvious lack of luxuries it isn't too different from the other cabins."

The germophobe gulped. "Yeah, apart from that stain over there!"

Yannis shook his head in sympathy before the tough guy laid his head down on his pillow and said, "Well, let's just try and get some sleep. ...The key word being try. Ugh."

The four guys laid down for a few moments as they got ready to drift off into slumber. However, after a couple of seconds of silence there was a knock at the door.

This caused Ulric to mutter, "Ugh… come back tomorrow, alright?!"

However, the silent dude got up to answer the door, and once he did, Xaria, holding a tray of sodas, walked into the Loser Cabin.

Once she entered the cabin, she said, "Hey guys! Feelin' sleepy?"

Yannis then nodded and let out what appeared to be a yawn. Then, Tyson got to his feet and asked, "To what do we owe the pleasure, dudette?"

Xaria responded, "I just thought you guys might want a soda. Think of it as... a little reward for surviving the first elimination ceremony."

The guitarist quickly snatched a soda, fistpumped, and chugged it down within a few seconds. However, Xaria recovered quickly, as she asked, "How about you guys? Feeling thirsty?"

With that, Yannis smiled politely and took a can. Then, Ulric took two cans and passed one to Paul. The germaphobe took out some cleaning spray and quickly sterilized the soda can before saying, "Thanks!"

Then, the other three drank the sodas.

(Confessional: This totally isn't suspicious.)

Xaria: OK, here's the deal. We have a fear challenge planned and some of the Total Drama Letterz campers, myself included, have to get the fears of the new guys. We didn't know how we would do it until Wallace showed us his truth serum. And surprisingly, it works! Why else would Nakia admit to wetting the bed until she was fourteen, huh?! (laughs for a few seconds, before stopping and looking at the camera). Oh, come on! Can't I get one laugh in? (sighs and shakes her head)

Wallace: (holding a vial of a purple liquid). In the wrong hands, this truth serum could do much goodness in the world! (shudders)

After all four polished off the drinks, Xaria cocked her head and asked, "So, what did you think of the soda?"

Tyson gave her two thumbs up and responded, "It was wicked! It tasted like a hard rock concert in my mouth, dudette!"

With a nod, Xaria twiddled her fingers and asked, "So, guys… what exactly are you afraid of?"

Yannis quickly wrote something down in his notebook and handed it to Xaria, who recited, "Kasimar? Well, doesn't he scare us all?"

Paul was the next to speak. "Germs. But, I bet you already knew that."

Ulric scratched his head. "Wait, why are we admitting our fears?"

Suddenly, he came to a realization and narrowed his eyes. "Oh, it's for a fear challenge! Got it. Well, I'm not talking."

Xaria smirked. "So, if I was to ask what your fear was, you'd stay silent, right?"

The tough guy nodded. "Exactly."

Xaria continued to smirk. "Let's test that theory. What are you scared of?"

Ulric then quickly responded, "Free fall."

He then flinched and looked a bit angry. "Wait, this is because of the soda, right?"

She scratched her head. "Yep, just part of the job. I'm sorry. What about you, Ty-"

The tough guy wasn't about to let her continue, as he interrupted her to say, "No, you aren't sorry. I don't buy that for a damn second. You could have just told us what was in those drinks, you know. What if my fear was something really dark and primal, huh?"

Xaria's eyes widened. "OK, jeez, I'm sorry. Sheesh, there's not much I can do now, OK? Calm down."

Ulric took a deep breath and sighed. "Yeah… true. I guess I overreacted a little. But did they really force you to not tell us what was in those sodas to begin with?"

The girl shrugged. "I'm afraid so. Anyway, what's your fear, Tyson?"

The guitarist sighed. "I'm scared of submarines. There's no telling if they'll come part when you're in them. Not cool."

"Thanks, guys. Sorry that you'll have to face your fears sooner or later, but at least they're all out now."

After Xaria picked up all the cans and walked out, there was a few seconds of silence before Ulric grumbled, "Wonderful… that's just great…"

(Confessional: The truth hurts. I mean, jeez…)

Yannis: (holds up a picture of Kasimar and shivers fearfully).

Tyson: What can I say, submarines are really dangerous, dude.

Ulric: (sighs) "Ever since I saw videos of bungee cords snapping, I've been terrified of free fall. Oscar experienced it last season, so he's a braver man than me. And, well, sometimes fear can manifest as anger, which is why I lost it a little. Still, can you really blame me? That was a pretty dirty move. I can only hope no one has any really personal, really traumatic experiences… because that would just be terrible."

Paul: (spraying his air freshener around). I'd be very surprised if anybody didn't know my fear before that challenge… so there's that.

Helen, Winnie, Xyly, and Quarla were all laying down underneath their blankets. The anti-fun girl was the first to speak. "Finally, sleep. I hope I don't have a dream because dreams are far too exciting. Like everything else."

The cat lover responded, "C'mon, Helen! Dreams are fun. Ooh, I hope I have the kitty copter dream again!"

Helen rolled her eyes. "You are a threat to sanity, you energetic loon."

Winnie pouted. "Boy, you're a real stick in the mud, Helen."

Xyly yawned. "Xyly agrees, you should grab life by the Viking helmet horns and live young, wild, and free!"

Quarla rolled her eyes and scowled, "Shut the hell up, you three! We need sleep if we're going to win tomorrow, alright? Then again, none of us will be voted off, anyway. I say we vote off Yannis. After all, he's the second weakest and bullying Paul is too much fun."

The cat lover frowned. "You're a mean spirited hound, Quarla! Yannis and Paul are my friends."

The viking girl shrugged. "Xyly thinks they are nice. Give them a chance."

The aggressive girl groaned. "Ugh, whatever. As long as we don't lose, I guess we won't have to think about it. And how I got stuck bunking with you three weak bitches, I'll never know."

Winnie narrowed her eyes. "Umm… we're your teammates."

Before Quarla could interject, there was a knock at the door, causing the aggressive girl to snap, "Oh, piss off! We're tired enough, alright?!"

Ignoring Quarla's complaints, Irene opened the door and walked in with three cans of soda and a beige flask under her left arm and asked, "Hey girls! Enjoying the competition so far? You know, the trees would be happy to meet you!"

Helen rolled her eyes. "Talking to trees is too exci-."

Winnie then interjected, "Hi Irene; how's it hanging?"

The tree hugger smiled. "It's going great; the trees are happy so how can I not be happy?"

The aggressive girl then roared, "Go to hell! I'm trying to get to sleep, dammit!"

Irene bit her lip. "Touchy… well, maybe a soda will give you a reason to smile!

The anti fun girl rolled her eyes. "Smiling is-"

Xyly facepalmed. "Too exciting. Xyly gets it, already!"

With that, Winnie, Quarla and Xyly each took a soda and began to drink while Helen just looked repulsed and drawled, "I hate soda. It's too fun for me."

In response, Irene passed the anti-hun girl a beige flask and said, "I bought you some water!"

Helen nodded. "It's in my favorite color. Yay."

The four girls then quickly finished their drinks. However, once they were done, Quarla looked at Irene suspiciously and asked, "Why did you bring us these drinks anyway? You better tell me!"

Irene twiddled her thumbs. "Just to be nice. Sooo, Quarla, what are you scared of?"

Quarla's reply was quick. "Jellyfish."

Then, she covered her mouth and snarled, "Are you *bleeping* kidding me?!"

Irene giggled slightly before asking, "So, what are you scared of, Winnie?"

The cat lover shuddered, but nonetheless responded, "I'm scared of Great 're just too big for me and one of them attacked me once..."

After Winnie gulped, Irene cocked her head and asked, "Oh dear… you're OK, right?"

Winnie took a deep breath and smiled. "Yeah. I'm still scared of them though."

The tree hugger nodded. "I see. So, what about you, Xyly?"

The viking girl gulped uneasily. "Xyly is scared of statues, especially the type that have heads but no faces."

At that point, Quarla grabbed Irene by the shirt in sheer anger and roared, "How are you making us do this?! Tell me now, or I'm going to murder you in cold blood!"

The tree hugger gulped and nervously said, "I-It's truth serum! W-Wallace knows how to make it!"

The aggressive girl then let Irene go, allowing Helen to say, "I'm not saying anything."

After a quick deep breath, Irene replied, "Tee hee! I don't even need to ask, as your fear is having fun!"

The anti-fun girl cocked her head. "How did you know?"

The tree hugger gave a cheeky grin and responded, "I just had a sneaking suspicion."

Helen rolled her eyes. "Whatever."

(Confessional: The debauchery continues…)

Irene: You know, Helen kinda looks like Mrs. Tweedy from Chicken Run.

Xyly: I wonder how truth serum is made. (makes a ponderous expression)

Winnie: I always liked Irene; she was so funny last season." (gulps) "I'm not looking forward to tomorrow's challenge though…"

Quarla: (absolutely enraged) "That obnoxious tree hugging bitch! When I get a hold of her I'm gonna-"

Spider: (biting his lip) Eh heh, we couldn't show the rest of Quarla's confessional because… what she said might have traumatized children. (shudders)

Bishop, Eddie, and Zed were relaxing, with Eddie and Bishop in the top bunk and Zed being in the bottom bunk below Eddie. Bishop was the first to speak. "Well, I suppose this is a step up from the Loser Cabin, but somebody of my superior social standing deserves the Champion Cabin."

Zed shrugged. "It ain't so bad, partner. After all, these bunk beds are kinda comfy."

The rich snob rolled his eyes. "First off, never call me 'partner'. Second of all, if I had my way, I'd never go within a mile of a hick."

The farmer scratched his head. "Well, that ain't very nice. Why are you so concerned 'bout money anyway?

Bishop shrugged. "In a world where money talks, you have to be rich to succeed."

Zed returned the shrug. "Eh, money ain't that important."

The rich snob looked as if he got punched in the gut. "Excuse me? Let me make one thing perfectly clear to you: I'm important because I have money and you are not because you're a farmer. Why do you even want the cash prize anyway?!"

The farmer responded by saying, "Well, I'd like to win the money to buy a new tractor for the farm. And maybe I could buy an automated milking machine so we can milk the cows faster."

Bishop rolled his eyes. "You have no class."

Zed sighed and shook his bunk slightly to get Eddie's attention, but to no avail. So, the farmer shouted, "Hey, Eddie! You there, partner?"

The detective seemed to snap out of his trance then, as he shook his head and responded, "Oh! Yes, I'm here. My apologies. Just thinking about a few things."

Before Zed could question Eddie, there was a knock at the door causing Zed to get up and open the door. Subsequently, Gary walked in with three cans of soda, and the farmer said, "Howdy, Gary."

Bishop sighed and rolled his eyes. "Am I going to get any sleep at all tonight?! Ugh, whatever, what do you need?"

Once the three boys were in front of him, Gary offered, "I just thought I'd give you three some celebratory drinks, seeing as you got past the first elimination ceremony. Nothing special or anything."

The detective waved him off. "No thanks, I'm not thirsty."

To contrast, Bishop yelled, "Gimme, I'm thirsty!" before snatching a soda.

Zed then cocked his head. "So… what's that there drink, partner?"

After Gary passed the farmer a soda, he responded, "It's just a new recipe I thought up, and you'll be one of the first to try it."

Zed then tipped his hat and added, "Sounds good 'ta me."

After both Bishop and Zed drank the 'soda', Gary asked, "So guys, if I may ask, what exactly are you scared of?"

The rich snob was quick to respond. "Seeing money get burned."

Suddenly, he froze in shock and his expression became almost homicidal as he growled, "What did you put in the drink, you asshole!?"

In a brave or stupid display, Gary almost ignored Bishop and replied, "It's truth serum. So, what about you, Zed? Do you have any fears?"

Zed thought for a moment before mumbling, "Well, I'm kinda frightened of riding a bull. They're wild and crazy, y'know?"

After Eddie snapped out of another minor thinking trance to see the fearful expression on Zed's face and the enraged expression on Bishop's face, he added, "Hold on, isn't this a bit unethical? Couldn't you just ask us to admit our fears initially, or even give us the truth serum before we got to the island to figure this out earlier? I am well aware that fear challenges exist in these types of shows, but this is utterly absurd. But, regardless, I didn't drink the soda, so you're not getting anything from me."

"Well, I hate to say this, but we needed to get your fears out for the challenge somehow. Spider and Quana said the producers required it. And as for your fear, you admitted it last season, remember? You're afraid of clowns."

Eddie then facepalmed and groaned. "Ugh. Really, man?"

Gary scratched his head. "Don't worry guys, I made the same mistake. I'm scared of the dark, and that's why I've got a flashlight with me."

This didn't appear to put a damper on Bishop's anger, as he then shouted, "That's not the problem, you dick! Get the hell out of here!"

Gary sighed, but nonetheless listened to Bishop as the three returned to bed.

(Confessional: Compliments to the dick!)

Eddie: (shudders) I despise clowns in general. Their make up, colorful wigs and red noses are just plain freaky...

Bishop: (enraged) I cannot believe the sheer audacity that Gary has! How dare he do that to me?! When I meet him next...

Zed: (sighs) I reckon I'll be seeing a bull tomorrow… dang it.

Alice, Cherry, Opal, Sasha, and Kim were all laying down. Alice and Kim took the top bunks, Cherry and Sasha were on the bottom bunks, and Opal decided that she would volunteer to sleep on the floor. Or, at least, Kim would have been there, had she not dismissed herself to take what she explained as a walk around the island.

So, after a few seconds, Alice said, "You all did reasonable today; be proud of yourselves. You were behind me, of course, but you did good enough."

Cherry scratched her head. "Thanks... I think. Would it kill you to be a little modest?"

The professional girl shrugged. "I'm not being arrogant as you irrationally imply. Honestly, I am the most valuable member of the team."

The racing girl sighed. "It you insist. Also, sorry you have to sleep on the floor, Opal. I'd give you more room if I felt comfortable with sharing, honestly."

Opal giggled. "No problem! Besides, while I'm down here I can play hopscotch with rubies, sapphires, and emeralds! Hahahaha!"

Cherry giggled, causing Opal to continue, "Sometimes I wish I had a Gorilla Barnús pell; it'd be as prickly as a cactus! Hahaha!"

With that, Opal began barking which caused Alice to pull her pillow over her head and shout, "Shut up, you maniac! Leave us alone!"

Cherry grinned. "Oh, come on, Alice! She's just a little bouncy, that's all. Just like Landrover on maximum suspension! Vrooooom, baby! Yeah!"

Alice groaned, "Seriously, are any of you sane?"

(Confessional: I hate to say I told you so, Max. Oh, wait, no, I don't!)

Alice: "Ugh, why can't I have one sane person on my team?!"

After Kim put her stuff in a top bunk and excused herself under the pretense of a simple walk around the island, she walked up to the same area as last night in order to have her second nightly meeting with Tabitha. And, like before, the former chessmistress was there, with a slightly nervous expression.

As such, Kim was the first to speak. "Ah, Tabitha. Good to see you. Shall we?"

Tabitha gulped, but nonetheless nodded, and with that, the two made their second trek into the forest. A few seconds later, Kim said, "So, how have you been? Anything special happen after our first meeting?"

Tabitha looked to be in a ponderous state for a few seconds before saying, "Umm… well, after that meeting on the first night, I was doing the rounds on the vending machines. And there was a guy who stupidly had his arm in the machine. So, I decided to help him out and get his…"

After the former chessmistress sniffed and sighed, Kim cocked her head and asked, "So, you got his hand out? Why? He was the one who tried to cheat the machine, you know. And, wait, who was he anyway?"

Tabitha sniffed. "I guess… I just felt like something came over me… hopefully, it won't happen again. And he had orange and black hair… I never asked what his name was."

Kim giggled. "Seriously? Rheneas did that? Oh, man, what an idiot! I always thought he was such a strong competitor… good to know his delinquent side can kick in at the worst possible times. Heck, he might even be a good goat."

The former chessmistress cocked her head. "Goat?"

The dangerous flirt shrugged. "It's a Survivor term. I watched the Heroes vs. Villains season before auditioning in the first place."

Tabitha nodded. "Ah, I see. You definitely seem to know what you're doing, Kim."

Kim nodded. "Heh, damn straight. I already pulled off a big move no problem an hour or so ago."

Tabitha's eyes widened. "Really? What was it?"

The dangerous flirt smirked. "You know Gordon, right? That drunken perv? Well, he had a 'crush' on a player I don't like very much. So, I buttered him up and told him he should 'confess his love' to said player, and this caused him to chase after her and grope her ass. In front of his whole team! And because of that, I was also able to kinda sorta flirt with another potential goat, Eddie. Urgh… I just wish his relationship with that 'player' wouldn't get in the damn way! I hate her so much…"

The former chessmistress nodded. "I see. And no one knows you did it?"

Kim shrugged. "No one on the team, at least. Unless Spider and Quana are cruel enough to use footage against me. I'm pretty sure that's against the rules though, and hopefully they'll at least follow said rules. Urgh, where's Jeff Probst when you need him?"

Tabitha sighed. "At least they're better hosts than Chris. He broke the rules in every single way he could just to create more drama. And rest assured, I'll do my best to make sure they'll follow the rules."

Kim's eyes widened. "You could do that? Seriously? That'd be great!"

The former chessmistress blushed. "It's the least I could do, I suppose. We strategic girls have to stick together, you know."

Kim smirked. "Heh, I guess you could say that. So, before I go, anything else important happen?"

Tabitha simply shook her head, prompting Kim to continue. "Alright. Well, see you tomorrow. Same place, same time."

After the former chessmistress gave the dangerous flirt a thumbs up, Kim stood up and walked back to the Middle Place cabin. She opened the door without knocking to reveal Lavender handing soda out to her four other cabinmates.

Cherry was the first to react by saying, "Oh, hey, Kim! Have a good walk?"

Kim yawned and smiled. "Yeah. The island's real nice, you know?"

Lavender then turned to the dangerous flirt and said, "Oh, Kim! So you were taking a walk, huh? Must have tired you out, right? Want a soda?"

Kim yawned again. "Nah, I'm too tired."

Alice then cocked her head. "Wait, why do you need to walk around the island anyway? You aren't doing anything weird, right?"

The dangerous flirt waved her off and said, "Oh, no, don't worry. I'd never do that. I just tend to walk around at night to get myself tired. After all, I don't sweat easy and I need my beauty sleep a lot."

With that, Kim walked up to her top bunk, plopped down on the mattress, yawned, and said, "Good night, girls."

At that point, Lavender scratched her head and said, "OK…",

With that, the cheerleader violently shook her head, collected all of the now finished soda cans, and asked, "So, girls, since you're new to the show, the audience is going to want to know things about you. As such, if I may ask, what are you scared of?"

Suddenly, the supposedly sleeping Kim woke up and gasped. "Lavender! Why are you asking us this right before bed? Do you want us to get nightmares?"

With that, the dangerous flirt sniffled and choked out, "I auditioned for this season because I thought you guys would treat us nicer than Chris ever could… but I guess that wasn't true after all."

Lavender gasped in horror. "Oh, no, no! I'm really sorry, that's just what Spider, Quana, and the producers told me to do! I didn't mean to upset you, I swear!"

Kim sighed as a few tears continued to stream down her eyes. "You know, I really shouldn't be surprised. But, to satisfy the sick lust you guys get from watching us squirm in fear, I'm afraid of mouse traps. Good night. I truly hope I'll be able to sleep OK now..."

After the dangerous flirt put her head down and prepared to drift off into the realm of sleep, Lavender seemed noticeably unnerved and had a guilt-ridden expression on her face. But, she still asked, "OK, girls, I'm really, really sorry for this, but I'm afraid I have to continue. So… what's your fear, Cherry?"

Cherry gulped. "Well, that's an easy one, I'm scared of Brum. That show always gave me the heebie jeebies… it really did."

Lavender nodded. "OK… w-what about you, Opal?"

The crazy Chinese girl grinned. "Bread!"

The cheerleader scratched her head. "Uh… you're scared of bread?"

Opal kept her grin. "No way, silly! Hahaha! I'm scared of robotic penguins that sing the Banana Phone song! Duh!"

Alice rolled her eyes. "Idiots. She's making you reveal them for a fear challenge'. Don't you remember last season and the season before that?"

Sashs shrugged, sighed, and put her head down on her pillow. "It won't make a difference to me. After all, I admitted I'm scared of Giygas last season."

Lavender cocked her head. "OK then, Alice. What are you scared of?"

Alice quickly replied, "I'm scared of hamsters."

Less than a second later, she screamed, "Gah! How?! Why?!"

Lavender sighed. "Wallace whipped up some truth serum. Sorry, but I had to do that because we need that information for a future challenge. You have my apologies. And Kim… I really hope you sleep well."

(Confessional: ~Are you a sweet dream, or a beautiful nightmare?~)

Alice: (growls) Lavender is a monster! How could she do that to me? I liked her last season but now I can see she's a demon! Gah!

Opal: (singing) ~It's in your eyes, a color fade out! Looks like a new transition!~ (sighs)

Kim: (laughs) Oh, man, why didn't I do that last time? That was amazing! And the best part was that I'm totally in the right this time! I mean, tricking someone into revealing their most primal fear? Can you really claim you have the moral high ground after you do something like that? I should be angry that they insist on believing that they're better than me just because they 'do good', and 'fight crime' and all that horse*bleep*. Well, OK, I am. I'm furious. Especially considering that the whole mouse trap thing? That's not my worst fear. I never, ever drank the truth serum. Heck, even last time, I quickly swapped it with some water. I mean, sure, the mouse trap incident in elementary school happened, but… let's just say fear is a very primal emotion." (shudders) "Yeah… I'm getting out of here now." (runs out of the confessional with a somewhat panicked look on her face)

Team Everest was relaxing in the living room foyer of the Champions Cabin while feeling satisfied at their first victory. After a few seconds, Max was the first to speak."Good job, guys! You pulled through like a +5 Battle Axe against a Level 20 monster in D&D!"

Lankston rolled his eyes. "D&D is overrated. But still; good job guys. I could have done a little better, but still, good job."

Fripp began jumping up and down. "Yay! Yay! Yay!"

Rheneas shrugged. "Heh, there's really nothing to it, guys. All that awesomeness comes from years of practice on the art of fire. I'm really hopin' we'll get more challenges like that, y'know?"

Imanda nodded. "Thanks guys, I'm definitely going to earn my 'win a signal fire building challenge on a reality show' badge now!"

Nina grinned akd asked. "Hey, anybody got any marshmallows? We could have a little party! And I could stick the marshmallows up my nose and eat them!"

The blockhead stuck his tongue out. "I once ate a hot dog through my nose!"

Jill chuckled. "Sure, all we need are the marshmallows."

Donny stuck his tongue out. "Yuck, marshmallows are worse than 'The BRG'! Ugh, I'll just get a friggin' soda."

The sarcastic chick then smirked. "Huh, didn't know you were a vegetarian, Donny."

The short dude cocked his head for a second or two before realizing his error. "...Oh, screw you! You know what I meant!"

After Jill chuckled again, Donny headed over to the soda machine and crouched down in front of it before Rheneas said, "Dude, I wouldn't do that if I were you. I tried that and my arm got stuck. Hell, if not for Tabitha, I could still be stuck there."

The sarcastic chick raised her eyebrow. "Whoa, back up! Tabitha helped you? The same girl who manipulated people, constantly lied, allied with Kasimar and made Uzuri cry?"

Rheneas nodded. "Yup, that Tabitha.."

Max shook his head. "She's meaner than an orc!"

The pyromaniac scratched his head. "I don't know, guys. She may be a little rough around the edges, but I really don't think she's as bad as people think. I really don't.

Lankston rolled his eyes. "Hmph. Doubtful."

(Confessional: Sorry, I lost the key to the door surrounding my heart. Oops!)

Rheneas: (sighs) Look, I know a lot of people really hate Tabitha, but I'm not in that group. It's kinda tough to explain in words, but I just have a feeling she may have a truly kind side. She helped me last night, right? And I remember seeing Kim talk with her on the first day too." (blush) "Yeah, I think she's got some good in her, y'know?" (once he realizes his cheeks are heating up, he shakes his head violently) "A-And b-besides, Kasimar deserves more hatred! He's a complete negative dickhead, you know? Yeah…"

After a few seconds, there was a knock at the door. A few more seconds later, the door opened to reveal Raven walking in carefully with a tray of eight sodas.

Once she got up to everyone, she chirped, "Hi, everyone! Good job winning the challenge! So, are you enjoying the Champion Cabin?"

Lankston shrugged. "It's passable."

Imanda then nodded. "It's almost as fun as earning my first badge!"

Raven nodded. "Good to hear! Anyway, I thought I'd bring you some complimentary sodas as a small reward for winning the challenge. Care for one?"

In response, everyone took a soda and opened them. And, although Lankston seemed to have trouble opening his soda, the others seemed to be rather content with the taste of the soda.

After everyone threw their sodas away, Raven asked, "Sooo… Imanda, what are you afraid of?"

Imanda's reply was quick. "Being stuck on a canoe in the middle of a lake. ...Why did I just say that?"

Raven then continued. "So, Rheneas, what about you?"

The pyromaniac's reply was also fast. "I'm afraid of bats. ...Wait, what?!"

The shy girl cocked her head. "I see. And Nina, what about you?"

Nina responded with a pout. "I'm afraid of soap! It buuuuuurns!"

Raven then turned to a concerned-looking Max and asked, "So, how about you, Max?"

Max gulped, but still quickly said, "I'm afraid of skeletons. ...Gah! How are you doing that? Seriously, that's totally not high-technicaaaaaaaaaaal!"

Raven giggled before saying, "It's because of Wallace's latest invention: truth serum. So, what's your fear, Jill?"

Jill gulped. "I-I'm afraid of roller coasters. ...Darn it!"

Donny then got a determined glint in his eye and proclaimed, "I'm not saying anything, alright? That's not gonna happen!"

The shy girl cocked her head. "Sooo… what are you scared of, Donny?"

The short dude shuddered. "Really heavy wrestlers. T-They're just so big. ...Oh, come on! You've gotta be kidding!"

With that, Raven turned her attention to her final target and asked, "So, Lankston. what is it you fear the most?"

Lankston shrugged. "I'm not telling."

The shy girl scratched her head. "Um… what's your biggest fear?"

The condescending one smirked. "None of your business."

Raven cocked her head. "Err… what gives you the creepies?"

Lankston laughed. "Well, that's for me to know and you to guess, isn't it? Now please leave. I want to get some sleep."

Raven then gulped, nodded, and left the building while the others gaped at Lankston.

Ultimately, Max was the first to speak. "How on earth did you resist the truth serum?"

Lankston smirked. "Simple, I didn't drink it. You may now begin bowing down to me."

(Confessional: Tricky tricky!)

Lankston: Yep; I'm just that good.

Donny: (frowns) OK, while Lankston was smart enough to not drink the truth serum, he doesn't have to be boastful about it and rub it in.

Imanda: (sighs) I'm not looking forward to the next challenge.

Nina: Ooh, I found some more of that juice in the bin! (takes out a can of the truth serum soda and pours it over her head).

The next morning the contestants were eating breakfast, and they instantly noticed that they had been given different quality meals. When they all sat down, Gary explained that he was cooking for the winners, Raven for the second place team and Chef Hatchet for the losers. Currently most of the contestants were feeling nervous about the next challenge, but one particular contestant was feeling extra confident: Lankston.

After a few seconds, he bragged, "Yes, indeed, it really does come in handy to have such nigh endless intelligence like I do."

Fripp grinned. "Like Gorrest Fump!"

Lankston rolled his eyes. "Whatever."

Jill then said, with a frown, "You really don't have to be so big headed about it. Hooray, you got lucky by not doing something. Fantastic. Have a cookie."

Before Lankston could responded. Spider and Quana entered the mess hall. Once inside, they noticed the somber and grim expressions on the contestant's faces and collectively sighed, knowing that no one was pleased with the stunt they helped pull last night.

Spider was the first to speak. "Yeah, we screwed up, guys. We're really sorry. Lavender came to us looking extremely guilty, and that's when we realized we went too far. Well, I guess we'd better come clean. First and foremost, the challenge today is not the fear challenge."

All of the contestants were taken aback by such news, and Quarla looked ready to kill them. In fact, she had to be restrained by both Helen and Ulric as she started dropping all sorts of curse-related bombs all over the mess hall. It took about a minute, but after her long, profanity-laced rant, she finally decided to ease up and let the two continue.

This little freak-out caused the two to almost break down in tears, and Spider didn't feel good enough to continue, so Quana took a deep breath and said, "Yeah… So, anyway, our real challenge for today is something completely different. You're going to be building flying machines!"

At that, Max brightened up. "Cool."

Thanks to a positive reaction, the Hispanic girl continued. "There are a large amount of supplies for constructing your own makeshift flying vehicle. The challenge is who can make a vehicle that can go the highest from one blast of thrust, kind of like a rocket ship. You can make any design you want as long as it works."

Quana cleared her throat. "You have six and a half hours to make something that can really propel itself upwards, and you must also make sure it can land safely as one person per team will be riding it. Additionally, you cannot sabotage other teams or add weapons onto your vehicles. So, get ready to start building because your challenge starts now!"

After Quana blew an airhorn, the teams quickly ran out of the mess hall. Within a couple of seconds they were outside, ready to start building.

Finally, Spider had recovered, and he concluded by saying, "And so, the third challenge has begun! Who will soar and who will fall? Find out when we return to Total Drama Letterama!"
