This episode is nearing its conclusion! Can they escape this doomed island? Let's find out…
No joke here; this stuff is serious!
Outside, not too far from the cave…
Ada, Nick, and Olivia were busy in the falling rain and hard wind, tinkering with the DJ equipment that Ada chose to sacrifice, in order to send a signal, in the hopes that anyone could see it.
"I swear, if some chubby psycho sends me an origami animal after today… I'm gonna be a bit pissy!" Ada stated, turning some bolts on her equipment.
Olivia blinked. "Chubby psycho? Origami animal? What?"
"Don't sweat the facts, Olivia. It's just been a long day." Nick reassured, crossing some wires.
"Yeah." Olivia nodded, as she looked at Ada. "How's it coming along, Ada?"
"Just a few more twists of this here wrench, and we're good as solid!" Ada answered back.
Olivia gave off a thumbs up, as she continued to work on connecting some light fixtures together, as Twiggy walked up to the three.
"Hey, how's that signal coming along?" Twiggy asked.
"Just a little more pep, and our makeshift beacon is complete!" Ada answered with a wink.
"You want pep? I copy that." Twiggy winked, as she reached behind her back, and pulled out a pair of pom-poms.
Ada, Nick, and Olivia both looked at each other in confusion.
"How does she do that?" Nick asked out loud.
"Now, then..." Twiggy cleared her throat, as she looked up at the sky.
Hey, Storm, We ain't gonna die!
You, Fosley, Ain't got no alibi!
Cause You're Ugly!
The three builders of the beacon looked at Twiggy with a blank expression.
"Uh… You know you're supposed to cheer for us and not the storm, right?" Ada questioned.
"Hey, I've been saving that chant ALL day. Let me have my moment in the obscured sun, okay?" Twiggy retorted.
"Silly Twiggy..." Ada shook her head, smiling, as she looked up. "Okay, now with that set… Let's turn on the juice!"
Nick nodded, as he flipped on a switch, causing the fixture's two lights to start shining upwards…
…
…
…
...But rather weakly.
"Well… This is rather unfortunate." Nick stated.
Confessional: -Plays Sad Trombone here-
Ada: It didn't even penetrate the clouds! What a rip-off...
Nick: Do I got permission to blame an attack ad for that? I don't care if this is an election year or not! I wanna blame an attack ad!
Twiggy: -She is rubbing her head in embarrassment- Okay, sending a cheerful taunt at the hurricane wasn't the best course of action...
Olivia: Awww, weak! There's gotta be something I can do to ensure a bitchin' light show that'll save our hides!
"Okay, any other ideas we got?" Nick asked out loud.
"Well… What if, by chance, the streams of light got crossed?" Ada suggested.
Nick raised an eyebrow. "Er… Would that be kinda bad? Cause I've seen movies on that sort of subject."
"Eh, I highly doubt any of that'll occur." Ada smiled back. "We just gotta make this beam of light even stronger! Thing is… Who do we send up to fix up the light?"
Twiggy looked up, and nodded silent. "I'll do so."
"Er, might as well sit tight, because someone already volunteered." Nick replied back, as he pointed towards who decided to run ahead…
Olivia was already climbing the rafters, and after a quick climb, was at the light fixtures, hoping to send some signal upwards…
"Okay… Time to power up this bad boy..." Olivia muttered to herself, as she started to push at the light fixture.
Pushing as hard as she could, it seemed it wouldn't cooperate with her…
"Come on, Olivia..." Ada muttered under her breath.
"Almost… I can hear a squeak..." Olivia strained out between her teeth.
And with one last push, Olivia pushed the tight light fixture, as it tilted, hitting the beam of light coming from the other light fixture.
Upon the beam of light hitting the other beam, a super-strong bright beam shot up, breaking through the clouds, as Ada, Nick, and Twiggy cheered out loud.
"Way to go, Olivia!" Nick said out loud.
"You rule at electronical stuff!" Ada complimented as well.
"Thank you, thank you!" Olivia shouted back down, as the wind started to pick up. Olivia stood no chance against the hard gusts, as she started to fall down onto the ground.
"WHHHHHHOOOOOAAAAA!"
Twiggy wasted no time in running towards Olivia, as she dove in and caught the falling metalhead.
"You okay, Olivia?" Twiggy asked in concern, holding Olivia.
"Twig? I have the hugest respect for cheerleaders, now." Olivia answered back, as she hopped off Twiggy's arms and gave her a hug. "Thank you..."
Ada looked up at the signal being shot into the sky.
"Olivia? I totally owe you a solid..." Ada thanked with a gentle smile.
"Eh, just tell me some secrets on how to have really colorful hair like yours, and I'm golden." Olivia requested back.
"You may have potentially saved our lives, man..." Nick said out loud, feeling really thankful.
"It only needed a little elbow grease, that's all." Olivia shrugged.
"WE GOT IT!" Korpse yelled from the cave. "WE GOT A MESSAGE! HELP IS COMING!"
The four looked at each other with a grin, as they started to run towards the cave...
...As the earth began to shake again. The other campers in the cave nearby started to swarm out, as it collapsed from behind them.
"Man, can't we ever catch a break?!" Ada asked out loud.
"If this help comes, I'll count that as a break." Nick answered back. "So, what do we even do?"
"Well, our best bet is to hot-foot it over to Challenge Beach. It's a clear enough area that any aircraft may land upon." Ada suggested.
"Way ahead of you." Olivia nodded, as Ada hopped onto Nick's arms, as the campers started to make haste to the beach…
But would rescue even come? Only time would tell…
Confessional: Let there be light!
Korpse: We're not sure what kind of rescue is coming, but with how we look… Heck, one of the campers on the Geeks has bright blue hair! You can't miss THAT by a mile!
Nick: That was a bit electrifying. And scary as well… -He then blushes- I just love Ada's technological skills.
Nelson: I'm just hoping Xantara's alright…
Drake, Stella, Marissa
The three were currently in battle against the animatronic, out for their blood.
"Man, what the heck did we even do?" Marissa questioned, firing off a few shots.
"Yeah, I thought these got disposed after that Boss Challenge..." Stella noted, as she dodged a few blows.
"That thing must still be steamed..." Drake stated, as he too, dodged a few blows.
The animatronic continued its attack, as the three continued theirs. But it was clear they weren't doing enough damage to it.
"Yeesh, what's the Defense on this thing?!" Marissa questioned. "We'll be here all day, chipping it away!"
"Well, being it's got some metal machinery in it, hidden behind an easy-to-tear disguise..." Drake answered back.
Stella looked over at Drake. "Uh, how do you know this stuff?"
"One of my friend's mothers owns a pizza parlor. I took notice of one of their animatronics, and patched it's covering up nicely." Drake answered.
"I see..." Stella said, understanding about it.
"So, maybe if we open up a weak point..." Marissa noted. "Then I can fire off an arrow, and trash this thing!"
"Exactly!" Stella exclaimed. "But… Where are we gonna find something sharp enough to rip through cloth?"
The three looked around the cave, all while dodging any attacks the animatronic could land, as Drake caught something by the corner of his eye…
A sharp rock.
Running towards the rock itself, and picking it up, he gave a look at the animatronic, as he started to run towards it.
"Drake, no!" Stella cried out.
"You'll never make it!" Marissa added.
"I just gotta try!" Drake replied back at the two, as the animatronic was about to make its move. Suddenly, Drake started to slide under the animatronic's attack, and ripped a hole in the stomach of the animatronic.
The animatronic looked down at the rip in its body, as it let out a deafening roar, and started to turn around and face Drake, who was still down.
Stella covered her eyes, fearing the worst was about to happen, as…
"Drake! Catch!"
She looked over at Marissa, who was tossing her crossbow, fully loaded, at Drake. He wasted no time in catching it.
He then gave off a glare at the animatronic, who was gearing up for an attack. Aiming for the tear, he gave off a snarl.
"Get dipped, you… meanie." Drake muttered, as he fired off a shot right into the tear.
The animatronic could only look down, as it started to spark.
Drake got back up on his feet, and managed to jump out of the way, as the animatronic exploded, leaving little to nothing more than its feet.
The three looked over at their victory, and cheered out loud.
"We've done it!" Marissa gleefully cheered, as she ran towards Drake, and hugged him.
Drake wanted to tense up, but instead hugged Marissa back.
"Thanks for the support. But it's safe to say that we ALL did our part." Drake said out loud.
"You've said it, Drake." Stella agreed.
Confessional: Victory!
Drake: While I rather not be touched… Hugs are an exception.
Marissa: I feel like we all leveled up from this experience… If only they were into actual RPGs, I let them meet a few friends of mine.
Stella: -She is blushing- Thanks, Drake.
"Okay, now with our uninvited guest down for the count, how do we get out?" Marissa asked.
"Well, those rocks blocking the entrance aren't too heavy; we can remove them with ease." Stella answered back, as...
"Hello?"
"Wait, that voice..." Marissa muttered, as the three went over to the caved in entrance.
"Are you in there, Marissa?"
She clearly knew that voice…
"Ellis?!" Marissa exclaimed, as she quickly tossed aside rocks, alongside Drake and Stella. And once the way was cleared…
"MARISSA!" Ellis yelled out loud.
"ELLIS!" Marissa also yelled out, as the two went in for a hug.
"Marissa! You're safe!" Ellis exclaimed.
"Ellis! I've… After you got separated, and I saw you fade into that funnel..." Marissa sobbed out.
"Ssshh, it's okay… we're safe, now..." Ellis comforted him, as the others started to enter the cave. One of the first things that they noticed was the feet of the destroyed animatronic.
"Whoa… Like, what happened here, dudes?" Mozart asked, shivering at the thought.
"Ooohhh, yeah… Long story short, Drake here took on that animatronic." Marissa answered back.
"Wait, him?" Heidi questioned. "From what I could tell, he's a pacifist! No offense, dude."
Drake simply shrugged.
"Is anyone hurt?" Xantara asked.
"Eh, we'll be fine." Stella answered back. "But thanks for the offer, though."
Steph gave off a smirk at Drake. "You're quite strong… Shame you're wasting your true potential, hanging out with flatzy…"
Sting gave off a gentle smile at the scene going on.
"I just love happy endings..." Sting smiled, as he realized something.
Something important.
Confessional: Genre Savvy, thy name is Sting
Sting: And this is why I wore my running sneaks to the isle. Cause who knows when one would have to run for their lives?
"Er, guys?" Sting asked. "Aren't we forgetting something?"
"Sting? We're all reunited." Ellis answered back. "I don't think there's any reason to worry."
"Well, I've just got this funny feeling that we all should flee, and soon..." Sting continued. "With Drake here having defeated something that even I'm not sure how large it was..."
Steph shook her head. "Silly Sting… That kinda stuff only happens in make-believe..."
"And besides, if this was truly a load bearing boss, we would have learned about it right about now." Marissa answered back.
At that moment, the earth began to shake softly… Then stopped.
"See, Sting? That's just the earth giving off a shake." Steph retorted. "Been happening all day; no biggie."
It then started to shake softly again… Then stopped… Again.
"Then again, maybe your geeky sh-" Steph started to say, as…
The cave started to TRULY shake violently.
"...Maybe your crap isn't so farfetched, after all." Steph grumbled.
"Yeah, I think it's time to evac this place, dudes!" Mozart suggested.
The entire squad agreed, as they started to tail right behind Mozart, as the cave they were in collapsed upon itself…
In the cave, they were dodging all sorts of rocks falling from above them.
"Yikes!" Heidi yelped, as a rock nearly nicked her head.
"Man, this is really rough..." Marissa noted, as the team lept over a crack on the ground.
"Marissa? How long before we get back to the entrance?" Steph questioned. "I rather NOT die, today."
"Keep your skirt on; we're running as fast as we can!" Marissa answered back firmly.
At that moment, a rather large boulder fell in front of the group, blocking their way.
"Shit; we're trapped!" Heidi exclaimed. "We're as good as dead!"
Mozart looked back at his fellow campers, as he pulled out his bo.
"We ain't shakin' with the Reaper yet, dudes and dudettes… Bo? Do your stuff!" Mozart reassured back, as he aimed his bo at the large boulder, and fired what appeared to be a large shot of energy at the boulder, shattering it.
Everyone looked at Mozart's feat.
"Whoa..." Sting said out loud.
"Yeah, forgot you were an inventor..." Ellis added.
"This here baby's gotten me out of a lotta jams." Mozart said out loud. "But enough praising; we gotta book it!"
The team agreed on that, as they continued to run. At one point…
"WHHHOOAAA!" Steph yelled out loud, as she fell. She quickly got up, and growled. "This stupid island made me break a nail!"
"Forget about it; it'll grow back!" Stella replied back. "For now, we gotta hurry!"
"Hurry?" Steph snapped. "What makes you think we should hurry?"
The teens were silent, as they could hear what was faint roaring… A few seconds later…
A wall of water was rushing towards them…
"Er, that?" Drake questioned, as the teens continued to run.
It took a couple more minutes, but they were now at the entrance where Drake, Stella, and Marissa fell through. A vine hanging down was there, left there by Ellis when his team descended.
"Okay, dudes! It's time to GTFO outta this cave!" Mozart ordered, as everyone started to climb the vine, with Marissa and Ellis being the last ones.
But fortune wasn't done torturing them yet…
"Whoa, help!" Ellis cried out, barely hanging on to the vine. "I'm slipping!"
Marissa looked down, and wasted no time in untying her sweater. Hanging onto the vine with her legs, she untied the sweater around her waist, and just as Ellis lost his grip…
…
…
"Gotchya!" Marissa said out loud, catching Ellis mere inches from hitting the water, and possibly to his watery grave.
"Marissa..." Ellis looked up.
"I ain't letting go this time." Marissa declared, as she pulled Ellis back up, as the two climbed to the surface, right as the cave they were in collapsed upon itself…
Now outside the cave, the batch of campers could only look around in the blinding rain and rumbling earth.
"The trees are coming down..." Drake muttered.
They could also see a cliffside in the distance… One with a gigantic slingshot apparatus on it, as well.
"And the cliffside which houses eliminations; it's toast as well!" Sting added, watching as the cliff cracked off the island, and fell into the drink.
"This is REALLY bad..." Heidi said out loud. "Judging by what's happening, it's far too dangerous to get back to Twiggy's!"
"Then, where should we head off to?" Stella asked.
"Maybe... Challenge Beach?" Steph offered.
"We've got ourselves a plan! And besides, the other campers may have made their way towards there, as well." Marissa said out loud.
"Then, let's book it, dudes!" Mozart suggested, as the campers started to make a run for it.
Confessional: Er, is there time to even do one?
Ellis: -He is holding the confessional cam- I know I should be running, but… -He looks over at Marissa running as well, as he blushes- She's a keeper, alright.
With the others…
The other campers were in the middle of getting back to Challenge Beach, as the earthquakes started to violently shake the earth.
"Yeesh, hard rain, whipping winds, the earth crumbling..." Grace said out loud.
"You would think the four elements were out for us, or something." Ada noted.
At that moment, what appeared to be a wall of fire started to tail the campers. Nick did some thinking, all while holding Ada.
"Er, Ada? Was your DJ equipment… Well, water-proof?" Nick asked.
Ada sighed. "Well… It was, but I had to sacrifice that bit to rework it into a beacon."
"You would think that fire stalking us would be soaked by this heavy rain." Nelson noted.
"Actually, some forest fires don't get extinguished by rain..." Ada replied back.
"Really? Man, you would think we're extras on the set of a Final Destination flick, or something..." Nelson shook his head.
The ground underneath them soon started to rumble, as they had to hop over the crumbling earth, almost like a video game.
But someone lost their footing…
"Whhhooaa!" Moana yelled out loud, and nearly fell right into the earth, as…
…
…
"...I gotchya!" Olivia yelled out, grabbing Moana's hand, as she pulled her back up. The two gave off a silent nod as they continued on their way.
After dodging a few more obstacles along the way…
"Guys! There's Challenge Beach!" Verna yelled out loud. "We're almost there!"
The teens ran straight out of the forest, and onto the beach itself, as the Search Party was emerging out of the other end of the woods.
"Guys!" Korpse said out loud.
"Hey, it's Ada and everyone else!" Marissa shouted out loud.
The teams got together, as they turned back and looked at the forest in question.
The entire forest was engulfed in flames, and the island continued to shake, with some of the cliffs breaking apart and falling into the ocean.
"Well, now that we're all together, now what?" Thunder asked. "Aside of waiting for rescue?"
Nelson did some thinking, as he looked at Mozart.
"Hey, Mozart! You've built several things outta coconuts; think you can-" Nelson began to say, but…
"Sorry, no can do, little dude." Mozart replied back. "I don't think I can build something large enough that can carry all of us."
GENKI looked at Mozart with confidence in her eyes.
"Mozart! You can dismantle me and-" GENKI said out loud.
But Mozart shook his head. "Outta the question. It… Wouldn't feel right. Plus, you still got Woodstock stored in there."
"If they are truly sending help, we may want to have some sort of signal." Stella stated, as she looked at both Mozart and Marissa. "Marissa? How many arrows do you got left?"
"Well, I shot 4 at the animatronic before handing it over to Drake, and he shot one at the animatronic, shutting it down after exposing its weak point. I'm down to one arrow." Marissa answered seriously.
"Gotchya." Stella nodded, as she turned towards Mozart. "Mozart? Think you can make some explosives with a single coconut?"
"I don't see why not…" Mozart answered back, as he eyed a coconut hanging on a palm tree, struggling to hang in there in the wind. "I'll just go ahead and snag that."
Just then, the earth started to shake even harder, as a crack on the sand started to surround the campers.
"You may wanna forget about that coconut plan..." Verna said out loud.
But Mozart ignored Verna's order, as he ran towards the tree. Using his bo stick, he knocked down the coconut, and ran back towards the campers. Verna promptly slapped him on the back of the head.
"Jerk! You disobeyed my orders!" Verna scolded.
"Hey, I've got the coconut, did I?" Mozart replied back.
"And just in time, too. Look!" Ellis said out loud.
The crack going around the campers started to get larger and larger, as the land they were started to seemingly float away from the island.
"What the hell?" Grace questioned.
At that moment, some powerful waves started to carry off the land they were standing on, as they started to drift further and further away from the island.
They could only watch, as the island, their home for a week and about a half, started to crumble down, and sink within the depths of the ocean, until there was nothing left.
Amehurst Island was no more…
"The island… It's totally destroyed..." Marissa muttered.
"But, at least we all survived." Sting said out loud, as he noticed something floating in the water…
One of the Confessional cameras.
Confessional: Yay, we're alive! ...Sorta.
Sting: Okay, technology is one wicked beast. A waterproof confessional cam. Need I say more?
At that moment, however…
"Hey, don't you feel water under your feet?" Moana asked.
"I do too, babe..." Mozart added.
They looked down to see what they dreaded the worst…
The small island they were floating on was taking in water, and starting to sink.
"Have we suffered enough, already?!" Olivia complained. "Our island sunk, we're gonna drown, what more can go wrong?!"
All of a sudden, some music came from the confessional cam…
The theme to Baywatch. Olivia facepalmed herself.
"You have gotta fucking kidding me..." Olivia muttered.
Ellis grasped onto Marissa's hand, the both of them fearing the worst…
Most everyone grabbed onto someone, them too thinking the same thing…
They were about to die…
…
…
…
…
...hoooonnnkkk…
The campers looked off in the distance. What appeared to be a boat was sailing around in the ocean.
"Is… Is that a boat?" Heidi asked out loud.
"Dudes! We gotta get their attention, and fast!" Mozart ordered.
Stella reached into her pockets, and pulled out her microphone. Inhaling, she could only do the one thing she knows what to do…
"HEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPPP! WE'RE RIGHT HERE!"
Verna elbowed Mozart, as she glanced down at the coconut he was holding.
"Right, a signal. Gotchya." Mozart nodded, as he quickly got to work.
"HEEEEELLLPPP!"
"Are they truly coming?" Ada asked.
"WE'RE ABOUT TO SINK!"
"And done!" Mozart exclaimed, holding up what appeared to be an explosive, made out of a coconut. "Marissa? You wanna shoot this thing up in the air?"
Marissa wasted no time attaching the bomb to the arrow. Aiming for the sky, she fired off their one and only shot at sending a signal…
…
…
BOOM!
The bomb exploded in the skies, as the water was now up to their legs.
"Now what?" Marissa asked.
"One can only hope we get saved..." Mozart replied back.
"HELP US!"
By that time, the water has reached up to their waist, as they could feel they were floating on water… Their 'raft' has completely sunk…
And they were struggling to stay afloat on the rough waves.
"PFFT! HELP! WE ARE ALL FLOATING-"
"Okay, guys! Don't panic!" Moana instructed. "Panic will only result in your death."
But Stella was starting to feel exhausted from the yelling.
"Stella! We still gotta get their attention!" Drake said out loud. "Just stay with us..."
"I… can see a bright light..." Stella muttered.
Drake knew what that saying meant.
"No, Stella… Stay away from the light!" Drake instructed.
"But the light… It's beautiful..." Stella smiled back, as she started to drift off, floating in the strong ocean…
"Stella, stay with us! Stella?!"
…
…
"STELLA!"
…
…
…
…
"...We got another one!"
Stella weakly opened her eyes. Was she being carried on the ship? She could hear her heart thumping, as she closed her eyes…
Thump-Thump…
Thump-Thump…
Thump-Thump…
"We got someone! Short, female..."
"We got another one! Someone help her on the ship!"
"Drake..." Stella could only mutter out, as she drifted back out…
Thump-Thump…
Thump-Thump…
Thump-Thump…
Stella drifted back into the real world. She could swore she saw a few beams of light, not coming from any of the searchlights on the ship...
"I recognize these guys..."
"I do, too! Are they contestants from that show?"
"Get it together, there's still a few more out there!"
"Drake… Where are you..." Stella weakly asked herself.
Thump-Thump…
Thump-Thump…
Thump-Thump…
"That's the last one! Tall, black hair… Goes by the name of… Drake?"
"How they survived out there for so long, I do not know..."
…
…
"...But they're all gonna be okay."
Stella let out a weak smile. She closed her eyes, only muttering a single word.
"Drake..."
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…

...Stella woke up, in what appeared to be a soft bed, in a warm and dry room. She was currently in a hospital gown, and was missing an earring. She looked around, to see the rest of the campers, still out of it.
"What… happened?" Stella asked. "Where are we?"
She could hear a faint voice call over what appeared to be an intercom.
"Dr. Cronon, please report to Room 232. Dr. Cronon, please report to Room 232."
"Huh… Looks to be a hospital..." Stella said to herself. "I guess the show's over..."
She then looked over at the other unconscious campers.
"Still, our lives are worth more than some silly fame..." Stella said, as she could here some moaning coming from one of the campers.
She got up, tied the back of her gown up, and walked over to said camper, who opened their eyes.
"...Stella?" Drake asked, weakly smiling at his friend. "Did… we make it?"
Stella let out a gentle smile. "Or course we did, Drake."
"That's good..." Drake smiled back, as he observed Stella. "You're missing an earring."
Stella felt around her ears, and he was right. She was missing one of her earrings.
"Crud..." Stella sighed.
"I'll get you a new pair, I promise." Drake reassured her. "But still… It had to be some miracle that we all survived… For a moment there, I've thought..."
"Nah, don't say another word." Stella replied back.
The two looked at each other, as they could hear some moaning coming from one of the beds. Said person then started to come to.
"Ellis?" Drake asked.
"You okay, Ellis?" Stella questioned as well.
"Well, I'll be okay, once Marissa wakes up." Ellis answered back. "Still, what the hell happened? And what were those beams of light?"
Stella was stunned by Ellis' response.
"Beams of light?" Stella asked.
"Yeah, I saw some near Drake, me, and Nelson. The beam of light near me was almost like a guide to where I was. Then after I got rescued… It then said, and I quote, 'Take care of Marissa for me', end quote."
Drake looked over at Stella. "I could swore the same happened to me… You don't think?"
Stella looked up at the starry sky out the window. "Miracles exist for a reason, Drake."
"Plus, that's not all they managed to salvage, aside of us." Ellis stated, as he pointed at what appeared to be a camera.
Both Drake and Stella looked over at the camera.
"The confessional cam?" They said together in unison.
Confessional: Confessional Cam 5 is ALIVE! And nobody will get that reference!
Drake: Yeah, I'm just glad this day is done… I rather not hang out on any islands that could collapse underneath us anymore… Glad we're all safe, though.
"Still… I wonder when Marissa'll wake up?" Ellis asked. "Today was rather rough, and I rather see her beautiful face after the day we had."
"I'm sure she'll wake up soon enough." Stella gently reassured.
And almost on cue, Marissa started to stir awake. She blinked to see some blurry-like figures standing near her.
"Er… Who are you guys?" Marissa asked. "I can recognize some sort of figures, but… It's hard for me to make out."
Ellis gave off a smile, as he offered up Marissa's pair of glasses. "Need an equip or two? Don't ask why they were near me."
Marissa put on her glasses, and could see clearly that it was Drake, Stella, and Ellis near her.
"The heck happened?" Marissa asked. "I seriously thought we were about to meet up with Leviathan from Final Fantasy 4… And next thing we know, we're in some warm room."
"Well, not sure who this Leviathan is… But we didn't run into him." Stella answered back.
Marissa also noticed something was a bit… off.
"Also, where's our clothes?" Marissa asked. "I can feel a heavy draft crawling up my back."
"If I'm mistaken… I think we're in a hospital." Drake answered out loud, as he heard another intercom voice.
"Dr. Kyle, to the infirmary. Dr. Kyle, to the infirmary."
"Yep, defiantly a hospital." Drake finished.
"I see..." Marissa noted. "Still wish I had my hat and sweater..."
"I'm sure they're washing and drying it off." Stella replied back. "Heck, my star pendant is currently on the nightstand near my bed."
Marissa smiled, as she looked at Ellis. "Ellis? If I caused you any worry today..."
"Marissa… We've all survived. There's nothing to worry about." Ellis reassured gently.
"Still… I don't want to worry you again..." Marissa said, blushing in the process.
"Damn..."
The group could see that Ada has came to, and was sitting up in her bed, with Nick close by, also up as well.
"My DJ system… How could I had been so stupid to have it cause a fire?" Ada asked, as Nick put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"We had to do it, Ada..." Nick answered back. "Had not been for you, we all be in a watery grave by now."
"Still… A fire?" Ada asked again.
"We'll get you another one, okay? Something water-proof! With a LOT of sparks to go along with it!" Nick reassured.
Ada smiled. "You're a true party pal..."
"So are you." Nick replied back, the both of them blushing at each other.
A minute later, Nelson, Korpse, and Xantara woke up, clearly concerned about where they were.
"Whoa… Where are we?" Nelson asked. "Why am I in a pink gown?"
"Er, might wanna check the sheet at the foot of your bed, dude." Korpse answered back.
Nelson crawled over to the sheet at the foot of Nelson's bed.
"Yeeeaaahhh, someone may wanna correct that." Nelson said out loud, as Korpse giggled.
"Still, you look good in pink." Korpse stated. "Not me, though… I don't look good in pastel pink! Give me hot pink, any day of the week!"
"Other than that… You doing okay, Korpse and Xantara?" Nelson asked.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Xantara answered back, while meditating.
"What a relief..." Nelson sighed, as he looked up at the ceiling. "Korpse?"
"Yeah?"
"It's nothing short of a miracle that we all survived..." Nelson said out loud.
"Yeah, today has been nothing but pure bad luck, up until we got rescued. Heck, I even lost my earrings I wore today…" Korpse stated. "No big whoop, though. I can always buy a new pair."
"Yeah..." Nelson replied back. "Same can be said for our 3DSes."
"Well, actually..." Korpse said, as she reached onto a nightstand, and found a Twilight book. She opened it to reveal 3 Nintendo 3DSes. "Verna asked for our devices before we booked it. Watertight, shockproof… Our 3DSes are all safe and sound!"
"That's all great and all, but..." Nelson commented. "Why a Twilight book?"
"Beats me..." Korpse shrugged.
Confessional: They are true survivors…
Nelson: -He is examining the book, and is reading an inscription made on the other side of the cover- Made by Latif Wolfe… Some other stuff… -He then looks up- Verna? Your little bro is very awesome!
Korpse: Glad we all survived… I ain't leaving this earth yet! Though… I didn't tell Nelson, but I could had swore that I heard two voices telling me 'thank you' in a soft whisper… Who were they?
Xantara: What a day, huh?
Thunder and Twiggy were soon awake, and talking amongst themselves.
"So, how's your ribs?" Twiggy asked out loud.
"Eh, I'll be fine." Thunder replied back. "I've been through worse..."
"You think you'll be able to go on with the contest?" Twiggy questioned seriously.
"Well, I ain't gonna quit just because of a broken rib." Thunder stated. "Besides, the docs did everything they could."
"I'm still gonna keep an eye out for you, okay?" Twiggy said seriously.
"Yes, mother..." Thunder pouted, which made Twiggy giggle to herself a bit.
Soon enough, everyone was awake, and talking amongst themselves.
"So, without no island… What's gonna happen to us?" Sting asked.
"Heck if I knew, Sting..." Moana replied back.
"So… Think we may be headed home?" Olivia asked, as she sighed. "I rather not go home..."
Moana looked at Olivia with concern. "Abusive parents?"
Olivia was quickly alarmed. "What, no! My parents love me dearly! It's that my hometown is rather boring..."
"Huh… Wish I knew there was something I could do to help you..." Moana said, as someone was approaching the campers…
Someone familiar.
"Campers!" Chris announced.
Everyone was relieved to see McLean… For once.
"Hey, Chris? The hell happened?" Ada questioned.
"Well, for one thing, I learned not to buy cheap-ass islands online. But in either case, even though you know this by now, Amehurst Island is no more." Chris stated. "And the island we were lobbing off our eliminated contestants is too damaged beyond repair to be of any use."
"So… Is Total Drama… canceled?" Nelson asked.
"Yeah, what he said! Is our plug being pulled?" Steph questioned as well.
"Quite an insensitive thing to say when you're in the hospital, Steph." Chris replied back. "But in either case, you all are in the hospital of the town we hosted the Truancy Challenge a few days ago. Yep, welcome back to Poutine Shores, campers… Or, should I say... Residents?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"I spoke with the town committees, and they all agreed that they should host and continue Total Drama here for the rest of the contest, so thereforth, the game continues!"
The campers, er, residents wanted to cheer, but realized they were in a hospital, and that silence was recommended.
"Now, once your duds are delivered back to you, meet outside, okay? Cause seriously, you really need some underoos." Chris said, as he made his leave.
Some of the contestants groaned at Chris' remark.
"Hey, it's not like our butts are special, or anything." Grace shrugged.
Now back in their normal outfits, they were waiting for Chris to give them some more information. In the meantime, they were talking amongst themselves.
"I ain't parting with my hat and sweater AGAIN." Marissa stated, as she patted her beret. "Mirian would be disappointed if I lost the gifts she gave me before she died."
"Still, I'm quite surprised that they managed to stay on, while we were in the ocean, to be honest." Ellis said out loud.
Marissa nodded in agreement. "Yeah..."
Ellis raised an eyebrow. "Something wrong, Marissa?"
But Marissa simply shook her head. "No-no! Nothing's wrong."
With Verna, she simply sighed to herself, as Mozart got closer to her, as the host approached the teens.
"Okay, first and foremost, all of your belongings are over at our destination, safe and sound." Chris said out loud. "Second off, you'll just adore what we've got in store."
"I hope so; cause if it's anything to do with hurricanes after today, sign me the fuck out." Heidi stated, as everyone seemed to agree with her.
At that moment, a bus parked in front of the hospital, as the teens started to board it. It soon took off, headed for its destination.
On the bus, everyone was seated, and just watching the scenery whiz by.
Verna sat by a window seat, and as the bus started, she sighed, as she looked out.
"Hey, you okay, babe?" Mozart asked.
"GENKI wants to ask what's wrong." GENKI added.
Verna could only sigh, as she continued to look out the window.
With someone else, the trip was far more pleasant to them.
"Cool! Not the twist that was wanted, but the twist that still keeps us in the game!" Nelson exclaimed, watching the scenery fly by. "Is that awesome, Korpse?"
But Korpse shrugged. "Eh, I was more of a city girl, anyway."
Korpse noticed something was coming up…
"Look, Nelson! A burger joint!" Korpse exclaimed, watching the burger joint whiz by their window. "If we have the time, perhaps we may stop off there after a challenge, and eat out?"
"You mean… Like a date?" Nelson asked, as Korpse chuckled.
"Never been on one, before, had ya?" Korpse questioned, as Nelson nodded. "I'm a dating rookie too, to be honest."
Nelson put his hand on Korpse's hand. "First time for anything, right?"
Korpse smiled back. "Yep. But don't expect me to dress too fancy, got it?"
Nelson nodded in understanding. "I gotchya. Besides, it's only a burger joint; it's not like we're going to raid an opera hall."
"That's the truth." Korpse giggled.
Confessional: Besides, a burger joint offers 100% less death and tragedy, anyway.
Korpse: Hey, I may be rich, but I rather stay outta the fancy dos, thank you… -She looks around- So, super-temporary confessional, huh?
The conversations between the contestants lasted for a few more minutes, until the bus was starting to pull up in front of what appeared to be the exterior of a brick cottage, with vines climbing up the walls.
"Whoa… We're staying here?" Moana asked out loud, as the bus stopped, and the contestants started to pile off.
"Residents!" Chris announced out loud. "Welcome to your new home for the remainder of your stay in the contest!"
"Huh, some nice digs you got here, McLean..." Olivia complimented.
"Yeah, I agree with Olivia." Sting nodded, as Olivia swooned in triumph.
"But that's only the exterior! Let's head inside for the Grand Tour!" Chris continued, as the contestants started to follow the host.
The contestants were now in the well-decorated foyer of the cottage, as they looked around.
"Now, then… We're currently in the Foyer." Chris announced. "As you can guess, this connects the rest of the house together."
"Yeah, I know how Foyers work." Korpse shrugged. "Granted, this one has a few less statues."
"Note to self; have more statues of myself in my foyer..." Steph thought.
"As you can tell, there are a few more rooms to check out. So, if you'll please follow me..." Chris instructed.
The teens were now in what appeared to be a living room, with a rather large couch, and a large, flat-screen TV. There were also some plants, as well.
"Right now, we're in the living room, where you can hang out between challenges, and fight over who watches what." Chris explained. "Though I wouldn't try watching Total Drama GvP, while on Total Drama GvP."
"Wait, why?" Thunder asked. "Are we still on the show?"
"Well..." Chris started to say, as he pulled out a remote control, and turned it to a channel.
The campers were surprised at what they saw… It was of themselves… Watching themselves!"
"Err… What?" Sting questioned. "What kinds Spaceballs crap are you pulling?"
Heidi elbowed Grace on the shoulder, and whispered something in her ear, to which Grace blushed.
"Aw, cut it out!" Grace teased back.
"Yeah, let's change the channel; hopefully there's something more suitable on the tube." Mozart requested.
Chris shrugged, as he switched the channel to what appeared to be a political debate.
"Not suitable enough." Nick stated.
Chris changed it again, and the TV displayed a cartoon of a scary clown, wearing a fire-fighter's outfit. Everyone shivered slightly, except for Olivia and Drake.
"Or that?" Moana asked. "Seriously, that scene creeps me out."
"That isn't stopping Drake." Korpse smirked.
Chris turned off the TV, to Drake's disappointment.
"Now, then… How about we check out another room?" Chris asked out loud.
The teens were now in a dining room, with a door leading into what appeared to be a kitchen.
"Now here, is our kitchen-" Chris announced, as...
"I call dibs!" Twiggy said out loud, as she entered the kitchen, to do a bit of inspecting.
"Well… Someone's a bit eager." Chris continued. "Now, this here is where you can cook up meals… Well, you all know how kitchens work."
"Damn right I do!" Twiggy yelled back.
"Now, if Twiggy Stewart is done in the kitchen, we can check out what's outside?" Chris asked out loud.
"Fiiiiinnneee..." Twiggy sighed, exiting the kitchen. "But I'll be back in there, got that?"
"I gotchya..." Chris replied back.
The teens were now outside, near a rather medium-sized garden. There were all sorts of seasonable veggies growing in it. There was a dock going beyond.
"Now here, is the Garden of Survival, or… Eh, it's just your usual garden, to be honest." Chris shrugged his shoulders. "This here is your usual campfire place… And also where you can come to unwind."
"I see..." Verna nodded.
"Now, only a few more rooms to go!" Chris announced out loud, as the teens continued to follow the host.
Now upstairs, the teens were looking in a rather large closet, with a recliner in it.
"Here, is the new Confessional! While we would like to call it the Diary Room, we don't wanna be sued." Chris stated. "But in either case, you all know how the Confessionals work by now. Any questions?"
"Er… Why is the door cow patterned?" Mozart asked.
"Uh..." Chris pondered, as he thought of something. "Last thing! The rest of the rooms are your bedrooms, each decorated the same. Left side is the Geeks Side, while the Right leads off to the Popular's side."
"Sounds simple enough." Grace nodded.
"What's more, is that they're co-ed! And being a lot of you have found someone on the isle, you're welcome to share the room with them! But, we don't want no hanky-panky now! What would your parents say if you became parents in your teens?" Chris remarked. "Now, choose your roommate, and make haste to your room!"
Confessional: Why do you think this may be a good idea?
Olivia: Awwww, I wanted to sleep in Sting's room! Ah, well… At least I'm roomies with Cherri. That counts, right?
Stella: Hmm… This may mark the start of a new gal in me.
Korpse: FUCK! I ended up rooming with Steph! This is gonna be bad… Ugh!
The Kitchen
Thunder and Twiggy were busy doing a bit of cooking, Twiggy even more so. She was cooking up a storm and was excited.
"Ha! It's great to be back in my element!" Twiggy cheered out loud. "Sure, campfire cooking was good, but nothing beats a home-cooked meal!"
"Don't I know it..." Thunder smiled back. "Haven't had this much fun in the kitchen since… Well, ever!"
"Also, how are your ribs?" Twiggy asked.
"They're still aching a little..." Thunder answered. "Not as bad as before."
"In either case, if you need anything to be done, I'll be by your side, okay?" Twiggy said out loud.
The two continued to cook, as a thought hit her.
"You know, I've been thinking… About how my dad was going back to dating. What if it becomes… Well, more serious?" Twiggy asked. "Can I truly accept a new mom?"
"Well, all I can say is never forget the memories of your birth mom." Thunder answered back. "While she may be gone, she'll still be with you in spirit."
Twiggy blushed. "You know the right things to say, Thunder..."
The two looked at each other with a loving look in their eyes, as Moana walked into the kitchen, and saw the two.
"I ship it!" Moana teased out loud, causing Thunder and Twiggy to turn away, blushing in embarrassment.
Drake and Stella
Meanwhile, in their room, Stella was watching some cartoons of her own stead.
"Huh… From what I heard, Nickelodeon's toons were kinda… crap. This Loud House, on the other hand..." Stella stated.
"Well, I was kinda skeptical about it at first… But I gave it a shot." Drake smiled. "Now?"
He displayed a pic of Leni Loud that he drew up.
"Yeah, I kinda became a fan." Drake stated.
"Still… This is kinda awkward." Stella stammered. "I'm watching cartoons with a guy… Watching cartoons. With a guy."
"Hey, ain't no problem with that." Drake shrugged. "If anyone ever says that cartoons are meant for little kids, then I have just three words to say to them: Brave. Little. Toaster."
Stella blinked. "Er… Was it that cartoon you looked at involving that scary clown?"
Drake shook his head. "And you aren't ready for that classic yet."
Stella could only giggle. "Well, whatever you say, Drake… You awesome guy, you..."
She yawned, as she started to lie down, using his legs as a makeshift pillow.
Drake wanted to move, but Stella looked too comfortable. He decided to get comfortable as well.
Ada and Nick's Room
Ada was busy, looking down at her feet, with Nick beside her.
"I still don't know what I can do without my DJ system..." Ada lamented.
"Like I said, we'll get you another one." Nick reassured. "Or ask Mozart to build you one?"
"Still, that thing was my first DJ system! Sure, it may had been old, but it didn't let me down!" Ada retorted. "How good can I be with a new system? It just would feel… Wrong."
"But you're still good at bringing the party!" Nick replied back.
"Me, bringing the party? You gotta be insane! How can I still bring the party without nothing to help me?" Ada asked.
"Ada?"
"And when me and Kade corrupted you, too! I mean, what good is your wardrobe for such a cutie like, now?"
"Ada?"
"I mean, what can I even do? All I'm good for is bringing fun parties to the crowd! Now? I'm just someone who's roomies with a cutie who-"
Nick said nothing, as he kissed her on the lips.
"Uhhh…" Ada said, blushing a deep red.
"I believe in you." Nick replied back with a smile.
"Then..." Ada grinned. "Do you believe THIS?"
At that moment, she pounced on Nick, as the two started to kiss each other.
Grace and Heidi
The two were in their room, as Heidi was looking at her football, as thus her golf club.
"Grace?" Heidi asked her roommate.
"Yeah, Heidi?" Grace responded back.
"You… Think we truly deserved to survive?" Heidi questioned. "I mean, we cheated DEATH itself. We went in for a Hail Mary with alerting that boat, and we're still alive."
"Well, on the bright side, we didn't die a gruesome, bloody death via a quote-unquote accident. So, I guess we're still golden, and our time isn't up yet." Grace answered back.
"Well, yeah." Heidi replied.
"Plus, other than us surviving, the seeds I managed to sneak in my belongings survived, as well!" Grace exclaimed. "Isle Amehurst may be gone, but it's trees fruits shall live on!"
"That's the ticket!" Heidi replied back.
Olivia and Cherri's Room
Olivia and Cherri were in their room, chatting about stuff.
"So… How do you even prevent your piercings from infecting?" Olivia asked out loud.
"Well, first off, make sure you always get internally threaded jewelry." Cherri suggested, as Olivia was jotting down some notes. "Next, find a piercer that you can truly trust. I found mine when I was 14, when she started to work on my ears."
"Neat!" Olivia beamed. "What next?"
"Always keep them cleaned, too." Cherri continued. "And never, ever, touch the piercing. I know you wanna twist it or tap it to show off, but remember, the key is sterility."
"I gotchya." Olivia nodded. "Yep, after the show, I'm totally ready to get some metal added to my face!"
"Well, I do know that one gal, who did my piercings and ink. Maybe I can hook you up with her if you want?" Cherri suggested.
Olivia blushed deeply. "Er, Cherri? That sounded better on paper."
Cherri realized what she said, and giggled.
"Yeah… It did. Oops!" Cherri shrugged.
Olivia was soon silent, almost in deep thought.
"Er, Olivia? You feeling okay?" Cherri asked seriously.
"Well… You know that I adore Sting. Yet, hanging with Moana today made me realize that she isn't a bad gal trying to steal Sting… But just a friendly gal." Olivia answered. "If I become friends with her… I lose Sting. If I don't..."
"I see..." Cherri noted.
"What should I do?!" Olivia asked out loud.
"Well, this is something I can't help you with. You gotta figure that one out on your own..." Cherri answered back seriously.
"I'm on my own for this one? Crap..." Olivia lamented.
Confessional: Decisions, decisions…
Olivia: To befriend, or not to befriend... Ugh, this is a much more deeper and tougher decision than choosing a design for a lower back tattoo!
Ellis and Marissa's
The two were in their room, with Marissa starring out the window, and Ellis looking at Marissa.
"Ellis?" Marissa asked.
"Yeah, Marissa?" Ellis replied back.
"Today was a day I rather not repeat..." Marissa answered. "I lost you once, then found you, then very nearly lost you for good..."
Ellis sighed. "Well, to tell you the truth… I was also afraid that I lost you, too. I even cried, as well…"
"I… didn't even know that..." Marissa muttered.
"Well, Grace and Heidi know." Ellis stated.
"Still, I already lost Mirian..." Marissa said, sighing. "I don't want to lose you, too..."
Ellis put a comforting hand on Marissa's shoulder.
"You won't have to worry about that." Ellis stated, as he gave off a gentle smile. "Because I won't die anytime soon."
"It's not just that..." Marissa said.
"What do you mean?" Ellis asked.
"Well… I never had a friend like you since Mirian. Us two? Whenever she was feeling well enough, us two would… Well, have fun like we did back on the isle." Marissa explained. "Heck, I even hooked up with her."
"Still, I do care for you. You were with me, after I barely survived being voted off, you were there when I explained what happened with me and Isabel… You were even there to defend me against Isabel, not knowing she changed her ways." Ellis stated.
Marissa looked at Ellis with a gentle smile. "Ellis? Thanks… I needed to hear that."
"And hey, everything I said was no lie." Ellis reassured.
Marissa gave off a smile as she gave a quick peck to Ellis' cheek, to which he blushed back.
Nelson and Xantara
In Nelson and Xantara's room, Xantara has changed into her nightgown, and was pouring some tea, as there was a knock on the door.
"It's open!" Xantara said out loud, as Nelson entered, with a serious look in his eyes.
"Xantara? This may come outta left field, but… Can Korpse room with us, tonight?" Nelson requested.
"Well, I did see some pretty bad auras coming outta Korpse, like she was agitated by something." Xantara stated.
"All we can say is… Steph happened." Nelson sighed.
Xantara gave off a gentle smile. "Then she can stay."
Nelson smiled. "Thanks, Xan!"
He then went back out the room, and a few moments later, reentered, with Korpse in tow.
"Err… Namaste, Xantara." Korpse greeted with a bow. "Thanks for housing me; I rather not be around… Well, you know."
"No problem. Anything for a friend of a friend." Xantara replied back. "Though..."
She then looked over at Nelson.
"I wanna ask something..." Xantara said out loud. "Hey, Nelson?"
"Yeah?" Nelson asked back.
"When I was getting some tea, I could had swore there were some popsickles. You wanna get us some?"
"Sure!" Nelson exclaimed, as he left the room, and closed the door behind him.
"Hey, why you sent Nelson out?" Korpse asked.
"Well, I just want to ask something…" Xantara said out loud.
"Ah, geez… I know where this is going..." Korpse sighed.
"What, no-no! This isn't anything bad, honest! I just want to know… What attracted you to Nelson, to begin with?" Xantara asked.
"Well… To be honest, I adored his cuteness, his kindness… And his love for his older sis. Hell, I still feel down about slapping him the other night..." Korpse admitted. "But it did make our relationship stronger than ever."
"I see..." Xantara nodded.
"Plus, some of the other people of the goth subculture, aside of my friends? I don't find them that attractive, to begin with. Nelson was the perfect mix of both cuteness and attractiveness." Korpse continued. "And I more or less lucked out on that front."
"I see… And your friends?" Xantara asked.
"Don't worry; they're a group of peeps who I can truly trust." Korpse reassured. "Why else would I hang with my friendly smarty companions? I'm sure they'll accept Nelson with open arms in our group."
Xantara nodded, as she suddenly frowned. "I understand completely..."
Korpse looked at Xantara with some concern. "Hey, you okay, Xan? Bad aura striking your vibes, perhaps?"
"Oh, no! Nothing like that!" Xantara denied. "I just wanna ask..."
"Yeah?"
"Why are you friends with me? With your friends at home, they're goth. And both you and Nelson are gamers… I kinda stick out like a sore thumb..." Xantara admitted.
Korpse gave off a gentle smile. "Well, you're an easy-going gal, who always looked after her friends first. Heck, from what I heard, you purposely lost the fear challenge just so you could free yourself to make that party for Ron."
"Thanks, Korpse." Xantara nodded, as Nelson reentered the room.
"Er, Korpse? Twiggy said that Chris ate the last of the freeze pops for some reason. You wanna come with me, buy some freeze pops, and explore the town some, being last time we were here, we were being tailed by Truant Officers?" Nelson requested.
Korpse nodded. "You got it, bud."
Nelson and Korpse left the room, holding each other's hands, as Xantara could only frown at the two...
Confessional: Wow, talk about deep…
Xantara: Am… Am I truly a third wheel? I mean, the only ones that I really talked to was Nelson, Korpse, and Ron…
Nelson: Course, knowing our luck, we may end up being tailed, anyway. -He chuckles-
Steph
She was busy in her room, doing her nails, as there was some knocking on the door. She grumbled, as she got up and answered the door.
Sting was there, with a serious expression on his face.
"So… It's guyliner..." Steph smirked out loud. "What brings you to my room?"
"I'm still not finished with what I had to say..." Sting said out loud, trying to keep his anger in. "While we were on the island, why did you say that stuff about Verna's little brother?"
"Oh, that song and dance again?" Steph replied back. "Well, what would you want me to do, you autistic retard? Bend over and kiss your feet?"
Sting growled. "I am not autistic, but I have some cousins that are… Still, how could say that?!"
"Hm, say what, now?" Steph questioned.
"All of the stuff you meant?! You aren't like this outside the game, are you?" Sting asked.
Steph could only scoff. "Truthfully, if it didn't give me more focus… I would just stick to normal bullying."
Sting raised his eyes in horror. "But… What about us that want to just have a good time this summer?"
Steph scoffed again. "No... This is more than just a game; whoever gets on this show? They're more or less famous. I seen previous seasons, and you know who gets all the screentime? All of the true meanies out there. If anyone died today, then where would this show be? Canned. I'm playing this game to be seen and heard through the end, and no one is going to stop me. Even if I just yell about how autistic people shouldn't be born, or how I can make pre-justice comments... As long as I get my fame... I'm satisfied."
She then grabbed up Sting's hoodie, and dragged him close to her face.
"Figure out what you're really here for before you end up getting yourself and the rest of us killed again." Steph said, as she shoved him out of the room, and slammed the door shut in front of Sting.
Sting could only stand there, as a tear fell from his face.
Confessional: Wow, heavy…
Sting: I'm… Not sure what to say… Steph is in a whole 'nother league… -He sighs- Guess I truly fit the wardrobe now, huh?
Steph: I still may have some use for him. Plus, with him crushing on Moana and Olivia crushing on him… I may have to play nice for a while, but if this plan succeeds… HAHAHAHAHAHA! This is gonna be fun to watch!
Mozart and GENKI
Mozart was currently feeding Woodstock, who was back in his cage.
"Thanks for holding onto Woodstock in your storage, GENKI." Mozart thanked out loud.
"GENKI knows best, Mozart!" GENKI saluted, as she looked out the window.
"Hm?" Mozart asked, as he too looked out the window. "Hmm, Verna was sitting in the garden for quite a while..."
"GENKI suggests you talk to her. Her sadness banks must be overflowing." GENKI said out loud.
Mozart nodded seriously. "I shall, robo-babe."
He soon walked out the room, all while GENKI continued to watch from the window. Even Woodstock hopped onto GENKI's shoulders, watching his owner as well.
"Squeak..." Woodstock squeaked out, almost understanding what was going on.
Outside the garden, Verna was looking out at the ocean with a sad expression, as she sighed.
"Man, what's the point, anymore?" Verna asked herself. "I know I survived, but… Why?"
She sighed again, as Mozart approached the downtrodden Pokemaniac.
"Er, babe?" Mozart asked out loud. "You been out here for almost an hour… And with nary a 3DS in your hands. What's going on, brah?"
"...Nothing." Verna said, as she turned away.
"Doesn't seem like nothing to me." Mozart stated seriously.
"I said, nothing's wrong..." Verna replied back.
"...Verna? I'm being very serious. Now tell me… What's the matter?" Mozart asked out loud.
Verna sighed, as she turned around, and starred at Mozart, with some tear-stained eyes.
"What am I, Mozart?" Verna asked out loud. "
"What do you mean?" Mozart replied back.
"Too much has happened over time, during the show... I bullied Nick right when I first met him, I said some stuff I never meant… I was then forced to do stuff under Steph's watchful eye, or she would unleash my secret out to the world, only for my secret to reveal itself anyway… The only reason I'm still here was because of Korpse trading me away due to the Staci Idol, and today, we all nearly died!" Verna lamented.
"Verna? You may be overthinking a bit… Maybe we should head back inside and have some rest, okay?" Mozart suggested.
"So far, in this game… I lost so much. I lost my friends, my popularity, my self-respect… And even before the game, I very nearly shattered the relationship I had with my little bro… Someone who I cared about since he was born..." Verna continued on.
"But there's still people you can still support on here." Mozart replied back.
"Really? But this is Total Drama; or Survivor High School… Besides, we'll just forget each other after this show is over." Verna said, sighing. "You ever seen any of the actual Survivor contestants send out Christmas cards? No..."
She then sighed sadly, as she gave Mozart a serious look.
"Mozart… Why did you waste your time befriending me? I even belittled you, one time..." Verna asked.
Mozart was silent in thought, as Verna's lip started to tremble.
"I… can't take this, anymore..." Sniffed Verna, as she put her hands over her head and started to cry.
Mozart then decided to sit down, and hugged Verna, with her accepting Mozart's shoulder to cry on.
Confessional: ...Yeah, no joke for this scene.
Mozart: Things are getting dark, dude. I expected some fun, not drama…
Chris was on a dock, not to far from the Garden, ready to deliver the outro.
"And so, we live on to survive another day! But… What may happen next time? Will Verna cheer up? Will Olivia learn to just accept she's already lost Sting already? Will Nelson and Korpse be chased off by their fans? And who'll be the next boot off? Join us next time! For..."
"Total!"
"Drama!"
"Geeks VS. Populars!"
The Playa
The eliminated contestants were currently looking at their new digs at the Playa.
"If anyone needs me, I'll be trying to find some training equipment..." Yolei stated, as she departed.
"And if anyone needs me, I shall be thinking of my next party!" Kade exclaimed.
"I'll be sharpening my swords..." Benny nodded as he left the scene.
"And I shall be elsewhere, being I didn't get a chance to leave first..." Lance stated, as he too, left the scene, leaving Yentoulis alone.
"So… What now?" Yentoulis asked out loud.
VOTES: Er… Everyone got off the island, but is still on the show? Figure it out. ^_^
And thus ends the Hurricane Arc. Man, that was an episode, huh? And it truly changed the game in a huge way. But what may happen, now that the game is set in a suburban-like setting? Who knows…
Special Thanks to my good friend Dragonettes, who helped me with the chapter. I couldn't had done it without you! Also special thanks to my friend Meifly for giving me some body piercing tips to use for Cherri and Olivia's conversation.
NEXT TIME: The teams visit the hospital! However, things go Survival Horror real quick…
BaconBaka… OUT!
