I don't own Total Drama Island or Xiaolin Showdown!
Logan held up the ball triumphantly, and Sarah screamed in outrage and began tearing her hair out like a madwoman.
"NO! NO! INCONCEIVABLE!" she screamed before turning beet red and passing out.
"Oh, dear, not again," Edward said as he stepped over to her. "I've got this, guys, don't worry. She'll be fine, just give her a few hours. It's over now, she probably won't snap like that again while we're on the island."
"What do you mean 'probably', Edward?" Misty snapped, "Your cousin could have been hurt! What is she, bipolar or something?!"
"That would go under the 'or something' category, and it's not my place to tell you," Edward replied calmly.

Misty: "Okay, the book I was reading, wasn't about fish. It was about psychological issues in teenagers, and I really hate to say it, but Sarah's outburst was a classic sign for a number of psychological issues brought up by traumatic events and sequences. In fact, sometimes it can be caused by massive amounts of constant stress built up over time. I think that's what Edward was meaning was that her outburst of insanity was her way of dealing with a stress overload."

Brett: "Misty didn't even try today, which is really confusing. I talked to her, and she said that Sarah had a psychological disorder of some kind that she was trying to figure out. She says that she'll tell me in the morning, and if not that she'll leave the book here with me just in case she gets kicked off the island. In all honesty… I think she will. I mean, everyone was mad at her today for not even bothering to try."

"Campers, there are only ten marshmallows of the evening," Chris said holding up a plate full of marshmallows. "When I call your name come get one."
"Yikes," Edward muttered. "Sure hope it's not me."
Sarah was still out cold, and Chris looked at her.
"Edward, come get two of them. One for you and one for Sarah," Chris said calmly, and Edward walked up and took two marshmallows. "Make sure she gets hers."
"thanks, and I'll be giving her mine for her efforts," Edward added as he sat back down and pulled a small ziplock bag out of Sarah's ninja pouch on her hip. "I packed it in there just in case."
"Smart thinking. Trinity, Jessie, Harriet," Chris announced, and the three lined up to get their marshmallows.
"Here, put mine in there for her, too," Trinity smiled, and Edward held out the bag for her to drop the marshmallow in.
"Naruto, damon," Chris said, and the two smiled before Damon took his gingerly and walked over to Edward.
"she's getting mine as well, she looks a little bit low on blood sugar," Damon said calmly, and Naruto held his out as well.
"Thanks, guys," Edward smiled fondly. "I'm sure she'll appreciate this."
"Hey, she went berserk to try to get us to win," Brett shrugged. "I'd have wanted the same courtesy if it was me that did that."
"Bartholomew, Brett," Chris announced, and the two went up to get their marshmallows. "campers, this is the last marshmallow of the evening. Who will get it?"
"Oh, call off it!" Misty yelled angrily. "I know that I'm not the one who gets it!"
And with that she stormed off and out of the campfire section, with all the others staring at her in shock and awe.
"Who gets it?" Coda asked, and Chris held out the plate.
"You do," he replied with a laugh. "There was only one vote for her to stay on."
"NOO! MISTY!" Brett yelled as he threw his marshmallow over his shoulder, which Chris caught in surprise. "MISTY DON'T LEAVE ME! I LOVE YOU!"
"Oh, wow!" chris laughed. "Now that is being true to your anime character cosplay!"
"I think he means it," Harriet said staring after where the two trainers had run off.
"Oh well," chris said with a shrug as he popped the marshmallow into his mouth. "Well, get a good night's rest campers. Oh, and Edward, make sure that Sarah gets the medical attention that she needs since you're her cousin."
"I know," he said with a glare. "I'm not dumb."
"Never said you were, Anubis," Chris said as he, too, walked off before pausing. "I'll talk to you at eight in the morning, Damon. Meet me at the lodge at seven if you serious about this."
"Thanks, Chris," Damon smiled. "that's been bothering me for a while now."
… (Nine o'clock the next morning)…
"So, what seems to be the problem, gentlemen?" Chris asked narrowing his eyes as Naruto and Damon sat down in the medical cabin. "Is it lover issues with girls?"
"It's about Sarah," Damon said, and chris raised an eyebrow. "She was moaning out some stuff while she was out cold earlier…"
"Yeah, it got us real worried," Naruto said nodding. "Was she raped?"
"WHAT?!" chris yelled in shock as he jerked out of his seat. "What in the name of Sam Hill gave you that insane idea?!"
"Well, she was moaning out 'please no, daddy,' and 'I'll be good, I promise', and 'please don't hurt me'," Naruto said defensively, and Chris rubbed his temples.
"What I am about to tell you is completely classified," Chris said sitting down with a heavy sigh. "Naruto, I'll talk to you about this later. I want to talk to Damon alone after I tell you this."
"Tell us what?" Naruto asked, his eyes wide. "What's wrong with her?"
"Sarah grew up in a really rough neighborhood," chris explained. "now, I can't give you all the details, as that would go against the role of counselor at the camp. However, I can tell you that she didn't really have a childhood and has been through a lot of different near-death scenarios."
"Oh," Naruto said in shock as Damon narrowed his eyes. "Is that why Edward knew what to do for her?"
"Yes, alongside the fact that he's her cousin and grew up in the same neighborhood," chris added before realizing his mistake. "The reason that Ed isn't like Sarah in that aspect is he was taken out of that neighborhood when he was ten, and she has been there her whole life."
"Oh, okay," naruto said blinking in shock. "So, if any of the others ask…?"
"Just tell them that she grew up in a rough neighborhood," chris shrugged. "But remember, rule one of the medical cabin is that you don't say a word of what went on in here, understand?"
"Yes, sir!" Naruto saluted before standing up. "So…"
"If you still have questions, I'll talk to you when I send Damon down," chris said calmly, and Naruto nodded and left the cabin. "Alright, what else is bothering you?"
"Actually, it was about Sarah anyways," he admitted. "See, I can kind of guess that by saying that she grew up in a rough neighborhood, you're covering something up."
"I'm under all the rules of the medical cabin as well," chris pointed out. "But continue."
"Her mother is abusive," Damon said, and Chris' jaw dropped.
"What? What makes you think that?" chris asked gob-smacked.
"Well, one is her attack methods today, which were that of a wild animal who is used to fighting until her attacker is maimed enough for her to get away. Second is the way that she tends to take any insults really personally. Third is that her eyes just screamed that she was used to fighting for survival. And… and sometimes I've heard her crying in the middle of the night in her sleep. and also, I heard her moaning out a plea for her mother not to do something, and begging her father not to do something else. "
"Ah, that," chris said swallowing. "I'm afraid that I am forbidden from telling you."
"But her mother is abusive," Damon said, and Chris was silent. This silence was all the answer Damon needed, and his eyes hardened. "I get it now. You're doing this to help get her out of an abusive home for as long as you can."
"Yes," Chris admitted finally and very quietly. "But that is top secret! Like, Naruto housing the fox top-secret!"
"So basically I'll get kicked off if I tell," Damon surmised, and Chris nodded. "Okay, that's cool. I'll just have to keep a closer eye on her, that's all. Naruto will do anything I say, he'll help me with this no problem."
"Just be careful," Chris said warily. "She'll go crazy if she figures out that you know."
"I know. I'll just tell her that Edward told us to keep her under the least amount of stress possible," he smiled, and Chris nodded with a smile.
"Now I know why you're called Damon," Chris laughed. "Good stuff."
