Episode Thirty-Two: Yoshi's Island!

Episode 32! Yay! Thanks for the reviews guys!

TDU Train, Conductor's Room

"Last time on TDU," Chris began. "The contestants went to Dewford Town in Hoenn to compete in boxing matches among one another. When Tails spilled the beans about Angel killing Ash's father, things got ugly between the two. Despite Tails' constant apologies to Angel, and Angel's constant apologies to Ash, no one's being forgiven. What will happen next? How long can Phineas go unobserved? Seriously, where's Harry Potter? Find out here on Total…Drama…Universe!"

(Theme Song My Life Would Suck Without You)

First Class

Ash sat on the couch in First Class, alone to himself except for Pikachu. He sighed and sank back in to the cushions. "What're we going to do, Pikachu?" he asked. The Pokemon climbed on his head, causing the Trainer to sigh. "I'm not sure how we're supposed to keep going. It's kinda hard now that I know the truth…" he suddenly sat up. "Do you think Mom knows?"

Pikachu only shrugged.

"She has to," Ash said, standing up and pacing back and forth. "If my dad didn't walk out on her then that means…" he looked up. "She would know! I can't believe she didn't tell me!" He grabbed Pikachu and picked it up. "We have to go home today, buddy." Pikachu groaned, drawing the number 10 in the air. He sighed. "You're right. Only ten days left anyway. We might as well stick it out for the rest." He looked at his Pokemon. "Wanna go do some special training?"

Loser Class

"I can't believe Ash gets First Class all to himself," Joey whined, peering through the window. "Why couldn't he bring me in there with him?! I chose him when I won!"

Melaney rolled her eyes and turned to Sonic, trying to ignore Joey. "I still can't believe they aren't together anymore! I always thought the four of us would be the alliance that would make it through everything…"

Morgan gasped, rushing over to the two. "I need to talk to you guys about that. You and Trelawney pretty much predicted it together."

"What do you mean?" Sonic asked.

She quickly held up her wand. "Watch." A mist began leaking out of it, showing the episode where they went to Hogwarts. Trelawney and Tails stood in front of the crystal ball.

"Your non-Divergence will leave you open to suggestion. Something in your life will break like a twig."

"And then there's your prediction," Morgan said. Another scene appeared in the mist, Melaney in front of the ball instead.

"Hold on…something else is blocking the view…someone in this room is going to have a romantic failure! And it's not Brock for once!"

The smoke suddenly disappeared. "See?" Morgan asked. "You were the one that predicted it! I just put two and two together this morning."

Melaney gasped. "I prophesized a prophecy! This is bad!"

Sonic rolled his eyes. "Calm down, it was only a break-up. It's not the end of the world or anything."

The Yoshi was pacing around the room now. "What if it's just the beginning?! What if she freezes over Arendelle or something?!"

Sonic groaned. "She's not going to freeze Arendelle, no one's going to freeze Arendelle! It already happened! That'd be pretty stupid if Elsa didn't know how to fix it, don't you—"

"Shush!" Melaney exclaimed, placing a hand over his mouth. "You don't see the future. I do." She backed away, causing him to sigh and roll his eyes again.

"Tell me how the prophecy works out," he groaned, standing up and walking away.

Melaney turned to Morgan. "Can you believe it?! I was right! I just can't understand what Trelawney said, though. Obviously the 'breaking like a twig' thing is their relationship, but what about the non-Divergence and suggestion? I don't get that…"

Morgan shrugged. "We'll figure it out at some point." Just then, Chris burst in to the room.

"It's challenge time!"

Yoshi's Island

"Welcome to Yoshi's Island!" Chris announced. They stood in the center of an island, covered with wildlife and shaped like a Yoshi. "This place has a meaning to most people. For some, it's your rival mascot's race track. For others it might be the place you stole food from after becoming a criminal. For even one of you, it just might be your home."

Melaney shrunk in to the shadows.

(Melaney)
"If we're at Yoshi's Island, that means I'm home. And where Voldemort is."

(Angel)
"'After becoming a criminal.' Ugh! Chris thinks he's SO smart and SO hot, but YOU'RE NOT, CHRIS! Wanna know what I've learned?! Hot and smart guys are imaginary like unicorns and perfect hair and true love and sacrifice and…and…I hate this show!"

Yoshi's Island

"Uh…are you okay?" Meowth asked nervously, watching the ground underneath Angel freeze over.

Angel took a deep breath and exhaled. "Never been better." She resisted the urge to take off her gloves and freeze Meowth in to an ice cube, shoving her hands in her pockets.

"Today's challenge is simple," Chris began.

"He says that every day," Morgan whispered to Zoey. "More like simply painful." Zoey said nothing.

Chris cleared his throat and glared at her. "Anyway, today's challenge is simple. Here I have a cart full of Yoshi eggs, which you guys must return to their nests." He gestured to the cart next to him. "Whoever—oops!" he accidently nudged to cart, causing it to roll down the hill and spill its contents, the eggs rolling everywhere. He bit his lip as one of them was run over by a go-cart. "That's gonna provoke some angry emails," he said, wincing.

Melaney slapped him across the face. "You killed a Yoshi! Now I'm going—"

Chris shoved her off him. "Calm down, prophecy pants. New challenge. Find the eggs and bring them back here so we can act like nothing happened. Anyone who brings back an egg gets immunity and First Class! GO!" He ran back in to the train, hiding from the inhabitants of the island.

Yoshi's Island, Sonic and Tails

"Whoa!" Sonic exclaimed, just barely dodging a go-cart. "Pushover!" he yelled as they driver rode away. He looked at Tails, who was sitting on a rock near the edge of the road. "What's up with you? Wait…that's a stupid question. You're obviously thinking about her."

Tails rolled his eyes. "Learned how to read minds now, huh?" He sighed. "What am I supposed to do now, Sonic? I can't stop thinking about it!"

"Easy," Sonic said with a grin. "Suck it up." Tails glared at him. He sighed. "Look buddy, it's hard for you, but I'd say she has it harder. Think about her life. It's Team Plasma. Three years of more training and stealing food. You. Dying. You again. Then nothing but Total Drama. If she gets kicked off the show what do you think she'll do? You and I always can fight Egghead or just chill or something. Her life has been a whole bunch of crap, but if she does have a moment of free time, what do you think she'll do with it? Obviously she can't spend it with you."

"That's not the point, Sonic," he explained. "Apparently I did something that I don't even remember, and if I try to explain it to her she doesn't believe me. How do I make her listen?"

Sonic scoffed. "You can't, buddy. She's more stubborn headed than I am. She saw what she saw and she's not going to believe you unless you've got proof." He sifted through a bush and pulled two circular objects out. "Omelet, anyone?" he tossed one to Tails. "C'mon. Let's bring these back to Chris."

Yoshi's Island, Morgan and Joey

"Oh eggs!" Joey called as he and Morgan walked along the race track. "Come out come out wherever you are! Before we get kicked off the show!"

Morgan slapped the back of his head. "They're eggs, not five-year-olds playing hide and seek." She held up her wand. "Accio Yoshi egg!" An egg came flying in their direction, almost hitting Joey in the face before Morgan caught it. She smiled. "Looks like I got my ticket to First Class." She was about to walk away when Joey grabbed the egg from her, beginning to run away. "You'll never catch me!"

"Accio annoying turd!" she yelled. Instead of summoning Joey, however, she ended up summoning a dozen Goombas. "Oops," she whispered.

Joey tripped over a tree root, falling on his face and smashing the egg on the pavement. "Nice job, Morgan," he said in an annoyed tone. "OW!" s Goomba had stomped on his head, and more were coming. "Let's get out of here!" he yelled.

"Right!" Morgan exclaimed. She Apparated to who knows where, leaving Joey all by himself.

"WAIT!" he yelled, Goombas beginning to swarm over him like bees. "Take me with you! NOOO!"

Yoshi's Island, Meowth and Ash

Ash crouched down and lifted up a nearby log, checking for eggs underneath it. He looked up at Meowth. "Why am I looking for eggs with you again?"

"Because, twerp," Meowth began. "We's the only Pokemon peeps left. So naturally, we should form an alliance to move forward in the game."

Bathroom Confessional

(Meowth)
"Between Commado Zoey and the Dorito twerp, my tail is gonna end up being ripped off! That's why I have to have this twerp protect me from them! Not to mention grabbin' Pikachu wouldn't be too bad either…"

Yoshi's Island, Meowth and Ash

Ash stood up. "But how do I know you're not lying to me?"

"C'mon," Meowth said with a wink. "Would I ever lie to you?"

"Uh, yeah," Ash answered. "You pretended to get fired from Team Rocket to steal Pikachu. Not to mention the seven hundred times you guys dressed up to try to trick us. Plus half the time the disguises weren't even any good!"

"Okay, okay," Meowth said. "So I've lied a few times. But the past is in the past, right?"

"I guess," Ash said reluctantly, shaking its hand. Pikachu growled.

"Great!" the cat Pokemon said excitedly. "Now let's go find us some eggs!" It skipped through the grass, Ash following close behind. "I'll bet you've already got all the badges and won all the Leagues, right?" it asked, trying to use flattery.

"Well, not exactly," Ash admitted, scratching the back of his head. "I still haven't really won a League." He looked down at the Pokemon. "Hey, you're part of Team Rocket. Got any clue on what Team Plasma was doing during the apocalypse?"

Bathroom Confessional

(Ash)
"The way to get info about evil organizations is to ask an evil organization, right?"

Yoshi's Island, Meowth and Ash

"All this Meowth knows is that Team Plasma was too stupid to conquer their own region so we tried to do it for them!" the Pokemon explained. "You were there."

"Oh yeah," Ash said, remembering. "But that was before the apocalypse. Did you hear anything since then?"

"Nope! Meowth answered. "Haven't heard a—oof!" he fell on the ground, tripping over something. "Would ya look at that?!" it exclaimed. "I found an egg!" It picked it up and handed it to Ash. "You can have it, alliance buddy!"

Ash took the egg. "Thanks," he said after a few seconds. But what about—"

"Don't worry about good ole Meowth," it replied, pointing to itself. I'll find one for meself, then we'll both have First Class!"

"Okay," Ash said. He smiled and walked away. "See ya later, Meowth!"

"Bye!" Meowth called.

(Meowth)
"I know it's wrong to trick the twerp, but I gotta do something! Besides, he'll be kicked off before he figures out the truth or anything!"

Yoshi's Island, Zoey

"I hate Chris," Zoey growled, slashing a bush away with her machete. "Messing up the challenge, then sending us out to fix it…" she continued on, groaning about him. "Last time he made us look for eggs I almost got my head bitten off by Larry…" She suddenly gasped, spotting an egg in the grass ahead. "Bingo," she whispered. She was about to grab it when a Bullet Bill whipped by her head. "What the?"

"Haha!" a voice came from on top of it. Bowser Jr. sat on the Bill, the egg in hand. "Papa's gonna make a great Yoshi army, and no one's gonna stop him!"

Zoey groaned. "Not today!" She scaled a tree within seconds, tackling him to the ground and off the giant Bullet. "Give me the egg!" she yelled.

"Never!"

"I SAID GIVE ME IT!"

"NO!"

"Yes!" Zoey yelled, wrestling him away and snatching it. "Stay away from me!" she exclaimed, dodging one of his fireballs. She kicked him in the stomach, knocking him in to Bullet Bill and sending both flying. She grinned. "Nothing can stop me from winning the million!"

Chris laughed, flying above her with his jetpack.

Zoey looked up and glared at him. "What's so funny, Chris?"

"Dude!" he said through a laugh. "That's a Koopa egg!"

"What?" Zoey looked down at the egg, watching it hatch as a small turtle came out. It attempted to bite at her nose, causing her to drop it and back away. "I hate you!" she screamed. Chris laughed again and flew away.

(Zoey)
"One of these days, Chris, one of these days…"

Yoshi's Island, Phineas

"There you are!" Phineas yelled angrily, spotting Meowth. He grabbed it and pinned it to a tree. "You better not have told anyone about what I did!"

"I didn't," Meowth said, rollings its eyes. "Calm down, Dorito head. No one knows."

Phineas growled. "They better not…if anyone does, I'll kill you, got it?!" Meowth nodded nervously. "Good. Now go find me an egg—"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Meowth said, wriggling out of his grip and landing on the ground. "This Meowth ain't anyone's servant. You might be blackmailing me, but I'm not doing your work for you." It began to run away, but Phineas grabbed it and picked it up by the tail.

"Find me an egg," he growled.

Meowth groaned. "Fine."

Bathroom Confessional

(Phineas)
"If that stupid cat spills the beans, I'm done for. Maybe I'll kill him after all…just to be safe."

Yoshi's Island, Melaney and Angel

"Is this challenge weird for you?" Angel asked, scanning the edges of the roads. The two were walking on the go-cart track.

"What do you mean?" Melaney asked.

She shrugged. "I don't know. I mean, Chris pretty much killed one of your unborn kind or whatever." She looked up. "Hey, wait a minute. You can eat people and turn them in to eggs!"

"So?" she asked.

"Why don't you just eat Chris and Chef so we can go back to First Class?!" she exclaimed. "We could've been done with this hours ago!"

She rolled her eyes. "I'm not eating anybody. Besides I really don't feel like tasting Chris' enormous amount of hair gel…" She continued to search through a bush next to the road. "I found an egg!" she exclaimed.

"Seriously?" Angel asked.

"Yeah," she replied, pulling it out of the bushes. "There's another one in here too!" she tossed it to Angel. "Great," she said quickly. "Now we can get back to Chris and not run in to any other Yoshi's." She was about to walk away when Angel grabbed her arm.

"Why are you in such a rush to get out of here?" she asked. "So your family lives here, big deal. Or is there something else?"

"No," Melaney answered, Candor shining through.

Angel rolled her eyes. "Obviously there is. Don't try to hide this crap from me. After all this Team Plasma bull I'm an expert on it."

Melaney was silent for a few seconds. "I prophesized a prophecy!" she blurted.

"What?" Angel asked.

Bathroom Confessional

(Melaney)
"That's not the secret I was trying to keep…that was just to distract her…"

Yoshi's Island, Melaney and Angel

"Uh…back when we were in Hogwarts. In Divination I predicted someone other than Brock would have a romantic failure, and Trelawney said Tails' non-Divergence would open him up to suggestion so that something in his life would break like a twig," she explained. "So I pretty much predicted your break up."

Angel rolled her eyes. "It's not a prophecy though. People break up all the time," she said, then quietly added, "But most have a reason."

"But what if this is the start of something bigger?!" Melaney asked. "What if Tails builds a machine and blows up the world?! And then there's you being…that."

"You just gestured to all of me," Angel said.

"My point exactly! What if the apocalypse happens again?! Or what if you kill someone or—"

"Stop," Angel said, putting her hands in front of her. "Relax. I'm not crazy. No one's going to freeze over the world. No one's going to die…because of me. There's no guarantee what other people might do."

"You never know…" Melaney said suspiciously. "Can we go back to the train now?"

"Nice try," Angel said. "Show me where you live so I can figure out what you're hiding."

"But it's getting dark!" Melaney exclaimed.

"All the more reason!" Angel said with a grin.

"Can we at least give these to Chris?" she groaned.

"Fine."

Yoshi's Island, Chris

The contestants waited outside the train for Chris, when they suddenly heard him screaming from inside.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NO GAS?!" Chris exploded from inside.

"I MEAN THERE'S NO GAS!" Chef's voice came, just as loud. "IF THERE'S NO GAS, WE CAN'T GO ANYWHERE! THAT'S HOW TRAINS WORK!"

"THIS IS AN ELECTRIC TRAIN! IT DOESN'T NEED GAS!"

"WELL THEN WE'VE GOT NO ELECTRICITY IN THE TANK!"

"THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS EITHER!"

Morgan rolled her eyes. "If Cilan was here he'd be able to explain…but it's probably not worth listening to him for the rest of the season."

Chris stepped out of the train, ticked off. "Okay. Here's the deal. Chef doesn't know how to work a train, so we're gonna be stuck here for a few more hours. In the meantime, you guys can continue looking for eggs, or just troll around the island. I'm gonna have a little talk with Chef!" he stormed back in to the train and slammed the door.

Joey looked around, realizing that the sun had set. "So he left us out in the wilderness?! Alone?! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"

"Not unless Melaney brings us to her place," Angel said, crossing her arms.

"FINE!" she exclaimed. "Let's go then." The group followed her across the island to a small camp filled with Yoshi's, a large campfire burning in the center. "Just don't let them know we're here—" she began, but Joey stepped on a twig and made a huge cracking noise.

"Melaney's home!" a cyan Yoshi shouted. They all emerged from their tents, cheering. The group was soon pushed near the campfire. One of them gasped and pointed to Melaney, Angel and Tails. "The prophecy's true!"

"What?" Angel and Tails asked simultaneously.

"Oh jeez," Melaney mumbled.

A red Yoshi approached the campfire, using pyrokinesis to show the image of a human baby within the flames, floating down the river. "Ten years ago, a human child was found on the shores of this island. Using magic, she was transformed in to a Yoshi to fit in with us."

"That's you?" Angel asked. "That's the giant secret?! That you were a human?" she scoffed. "Big deal."

"Yeah…" Melaney said, pretending to agree. "That's what it is."

Bathroom Confessional

(Melaney)
"Okay, yeah, so I was a human. But what they don't know is that I'm a Yoshimagus…and I can change forms if I want to…"

Yoshi's Island

The red Yoshi formed the fire in to a snowflake. "Years later, it was predicted that she would meet someone that would bring destruction through the power of ice and snow."

Bathroom Confessional

(Angel)
"Life is like Sonic 06. IT SUCKS."

Yoshi's Island

Angel rolled her eyes and stuffed her fist further in to her pockets, but the pyrokinetic Yoshi approached her and took one of her hands. "Remove the gloves," she ordered. Angel sighed and slipped off Elsa's gloves, revealing her normal white ones underneath. The Yoshi nodded. "Hatred will freeze a broken heart."

Angel scoffed. "What?"

"You have to let go of your hatred toward him," she whispered. "You're more than capable of what you think. When you learn the truth, you'll unleash your full power…your broken heart will be mended, only to freeze seconds later. When the time comes, don't let your anger overcome you. You'll only end up killing yourself." She then backed away as Angel quickly shoved the gloves back on and held one hand close to her chest.

(Angel)
"Kill myself?! I can't do this anymore…I need to leave. Tomorrow."

Yoshi's Island

There was silence until Chris appeared, covered in smoke from trying to fix the train. "Challenge time's up!" he announced. "Anyone who doesn't have an egg should head to the Elimination Room, because one of you is going home." The contestants began heading back to the train, Tails, Melaney, Sonic, and Angel a few yards behind. The four walked along the edges of the island, close to the cliff.

Tails bit his lip and looked at Angel, who was refusing to make eye contact. "Are you—"

"Don't," she whispered, holding one hand to her chest with the other. "Just…don't. You can't change my mind about us. I have bigger things to worry about…" She walked ahead next to Melaney, when the ground suddenly crumbled beneath the two.

"Melaney!" Sonic shouted, grabbing her arm before she could fall, the egg in his other hand. Angel was less lucky and was left hanging by her spear, shoving it in the side of the cliff at the last second. Sonic attempted to pull the Yoshi up with one arm, but it was impossible. He glanced at the egg.

"Don't do it!" Melaney exclaimed.

"It's either you or the egg," he said. He dropped it in to the ocean, the used his free hand to help pull her up, causing her to land on top of him. "Well this is awkward…"

"Melaney?"

The two looked up to see a male orange Yoshi standing over them. Melaney quickly pushed Sonic off. "Voldemort!" she exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"

"I live here!" he exclaimed. "And don't try to change the subject. You were cheating on me with this…this blue rat here."

"Hey!"

"No I wasn't!" she shouted. "He just saved me from falling off a cliff! And it hasn't been working out between the two of us anyway, so…yeah, we're through."

"What?!" he exclaimed.

She shrugged. "Look, we spend too much time apart, and it's obvious that you've got trust issues. So why don't we just break up?"

There was a few seconds of silence before he finally answered. "Fine. Good luck finding someone new after me." He stormed away, leaving the four in awkward silence.

Angel groaned, trying to hang on to her spear. She looked up at Tails. "Hey jerk face, wanna lend a hand?" He sighed and grabbed her hand, pulling her up. She quickly let go of him as soon as her feet were on the ground.

Melaney sighed as Voldemort walked away. "Now what do I do?" she whispered.

Sonic stood up. "You uh…could always go out with me, you know," he offered. She slapped him across the face. "Ow! What was that for?!"

"It's too soon, you idiot!" she exclaimed. She began to walk away, but Sonic stopped her.

"Did I mention that yesterday was my birthday?" he asked, his hand rubbing his cheek.

Melaney stopped in her tracks. She had liked him since the beginning of the season. She sighed and turned around. "Sure. Why the hell not? WayPastDauntless it is!"

(Sonic)
"YES!"

(Angel)
"Third wheel time…for Tails. Definitely ditching the show tomorrow."

Yoshi's Island

Chris walked over, megaphone in hand. "OH LOVEBIRDS AND BROKEN-UP PAIRING THAT COULD HURT THE RATINGS!" he shouted. "SONIC NEEDS TO GO TO THE ELIMINATION ROOM!"

"Why?" he asked.

"It's very simple," Chris stated. "While you and whatsherface were getting together, the others voted you off. So that means Sonic is off the show!"

"But you didn't count all the votes!" Tails exclaimed.

Chris shrugged. "I don't run the show."

"Yes you do!" Melaney shouted.

"Well I'm in charge then!" Chris shouted. He threw a tiny boogie board at Sonic and shoved him off the cliff and in to the water below, turning to the camera. "What will happen next? Is Angel really going to leave the show? How will Melaney react to Sonic leaving as soon as they got together? Only nine contestants left here on Total…Drama…Universe!"

Chapter 32's done! Yay! Sorry it took me a while to update, but whatever. And yeah, yesterday was the 23rd anniversary of Eggman…and Sonic, I guess. Hey, I actually LIKE Eggman, he's hilarious. And speaking of Eggman, MIKE POLLOCK (his voice actor) REPLIED TO MY COMMENT ON YOUTUBE! TWICE! I FEEL SO HONORED! :3 But seriously though, he's definitely one of my favorite voice actors. Have you heard the PA announcements he does in Sonic Colors? What about the Sonic Boom line about Evil Ham? I don't think I need to say more. So for this chapter, I want EVERY reader reviewing this particular chapter INCLUDING YOU, MORGAN, so I can get a sense of how many readers I have (and see if Morgan is still actually reading :3). I want to see how many Vanillites I have. Anyway, Q of the Week: Your feelings on the Sonic and Melaney pairing? Normally I prefer Sonic alone, but I found this one kind of appealing. Sorry SonAmy fans, I just don't see what you guys see. It's not because I don't like Amy either, it's just that I can't see them going any further than what they're already doing (Amy chasing Sonic). Maybe if she grew up a little bit, then it would be possible. But other than that, I don't see anything. ANYWAY, EVERYBODY MUST REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW! SEE YA LATER!
