Welcome back, Pazzoidites! (why did i come up with that, it sucks)
I'm back with the newest chapter to this story, woo hoo! The beach was fun but there's work to be done!
You reviewers rock xD Thank you so much for reviewing and keeping up with this mess of an SYOC as it progresses.
Thank you to 5everAwesome for having this idea for the challenge- which means that it is not mine. And Vasilisa belongs to kaijudude1000, I forgot to mention that last chapter.
And also, I am super sorry if your OC isn't getting enough screen time... I'm a super sucky writer, plus I'm new to SYOCs. I'm trying really hard to get it balanced sufficently, so never fear! This chapter should be a good way to do that, but who knows.
Here we go... after a long, dumb rant...

Team Alpha: Zach, Felix, Ryan, Andy, Ian, Clementine, Valentina, Celia, Harmonia, Denise
Team Delta: Aaron, Imanol, Adam, Olivia, Eadlyn, Adrian, Mika, Callie, Seth, Alexandra, Amanda
"Previously on Total Drama Pazzoide...
Our teams faced off in a traditional, and physically exhausting Olympics, putting all skills to the test. There were three challenges to be won- a running race, a tight rope walk, and a brutal combat duel! We also met my special intern Vasilisa, who apparently sabotaged Team Delta's tight rope challenge. In the end, it really came down to Eadlyn and Ariana to see who could take the cake, and the gold. With her apparent lack of common sense, Ariana swung! And she missed, giving Team Alpha a fun losing streak and Ari a ticket to the Boat of Losers.
"What will happen in this episode? Will Adam take a hint? Will Callie stop being so uptight? And who is the mysterious voice...? All those could possibly be answered if you stay tuned for this episode of Total! Drama! Pazzoide!"
(Theme Song: Go to The Pazzoide Olympics for details.)
It was a nice day on the island of Pazzoide, and about 8 in the morning. Each camper was doing their own thing, and having a good time before the next round of torture- er, the next challenge.
Zach was on his bunk, focusing on a new sketch of his. It was clear that Horton and Flumpty were guiding him through, and also being encouraging. He had felt a bit blue ever since Ariana was eliminated from the competition, and was working on a small drawing for her when he would see her next.
Adam and Eadlyn were sitting on the dock together, both talking about a variety of things. Adam mentioned some of his favorite video games he had played, and Eadlyn talked about a few of her hobbies- singing, dancing, and flirting (but she sheepishly added she didn't do it too often- which was a teeny tiny lie). The two of them clearly enjoyed each other's company, and everyone gave it the nickname: 'Their Cute Wittle Thing.'
Celia was spending her morning reading, but she wasn't concentrating on her novel. She had been dwelling on the single thought of a camper who gave her stomach the butterflies- Felix. She realized how big of a crush she had on him, and wondered... does he feel the same? Or does he consider them 'just friends?'
Another group of Alphas had been hanging out in the mess hall- Valentina, Denise, and Ian. Denise was going on and on about this new mystery novella series she had began reading last night, and told them she was already on the third book. A strong sense of friendship had begun between them in the past week, and they all knew that each one of them were strong individual competitors. Ian was a hard worker, Val was extremely clever, and Denise's beauty and new found acting skills could probably help their team out in a plethora of ways.
Alexandra was sitting on the beach and carving something with a pocket knife she had brought. She was also thinking- about how much she hated two people in particular, Amanda and Vasilisa. That gossipy blonde chick was wearing her last nerve. And Vasilisa was giving off bad vibes. For a split moment, Alexandra felt convinced that Vasilisa was trying to get someone purposely killed. The newer knife she had appeared to be carving was stabbed into the picnic table in an instant.
Seth was listening to music on his iPod, a broad mix of Nickelback and A Day to Remember shuffling through his playlist. He was jamming out to 'Out of Time' by the latter, and singing along. "You ruined my favorite records!" he chimed loudly. None of the campers really looked over at him, fortunately for him. The volume suddenly faded, and he glanced up angrily. Someone yanked out his earbud. It was none other than Queen Bee Callie.
"Who's my favorite emo?"
He growled. "What do you want?"
"An alliance. No biggie... right?"
"I need a further explanation..."
Aaron was also in the mess hall, trying to tune his acoustic guitar with Imanol writing in his sketchbook beside of him. The first boy was telling the latter about how his mother had actually sent this to him last night, and that he was trying to learn a bit now. Imanol was tuned out, though, and focusing more on his daily plans. Up at exactly 7:30 AM, be in the Mess Hall around 8, and have down time in between the challenge and 'breakfast.'
Clementine-Noelle was scribbling around a piece of paper, scrawling out a fashion sketch out of pure boredom. She wasn't really an artist, but when she was unentertained, she felt as if there was no other choice. She wasn't even really drawing, more of attempting to listen into the other contestants' conversations. It was a good skill you should have if you're needing to manipulate someone.
Adrian and Mika were laying on the beach, the breeze vigourously picking up and the sand itching at their bodies. They were still continously flirting lightly and still oblivious to the clear fact they like each other.
"Nice weather..." Mika said calmly.
Adrian nodded. "Yeah. It's so nice I can't see past the sun."
Instead of commenting on the fact he couldn't tell what his friend meant, Mika laughed nervously. "I think that means it's bright..." he told himself, clueless.
Felix had just finished up a 'friendly' conversation with Clementine-Noelle, and he was heading back to the cabin after he forgot his watch. And his blueberry muffin. As he checked the bedside table, he gasped. "WHO STOLE MY MUFFIN?!" Felix decided to begin a small investigation to see if he could find the breakfast delicacy thief. That's when the purple- colored crumbs appeared at the foot of Ryan and Ian's bunk bed.
"Ryan..." he snarled. He followed the lengthy path to the bathroom. "RYAN... I DON'T KNOW YOUR LAST NAME! Return that muffin ASAP!"
"Uh... frankly, it's pretty late now. I just finished it off..."
Felix growled. "I clearly wrote a note that said, 'Felix's Muffin- Do not Eat!' Can you read?"
"The note would've emotionally and mentally prevented me from eating it. But it physically didn't prevent me from anything, Felix."
The blonde boy merely stormed off, holding a grudge against the gamer for devouring his savory, wonderful muffin... his mouth was watering thinking of his loss.
Amanda sat awkwardly with Olivia, poking at the supposed eggs made by Chef Hatchet. Olivia had been awake since 6 AM to work on new skateboarding tricks, whereas Amanda had just woken up. The fact that the actress didn't really know the skater made it weird between the two of them... and there was only thick silence between the girls. As Amanda picked up a piece of the 'eggs,' a Russian girl was walking through the Mess Hall. Both girls scowled severely at the sight of the villianous intern, Vasilisa.
Harmonia was in the girls' side of the Team Alpha cabin, tidying up her dress to make it appear neater. Being wealthy, Harmonia was always taught to look neat and never like a mess. Her glossy hair fell in a beautiful sheet beneath her shoulders, and she tied it into their regular pigtails. She was going to conquer, and look great while doing it.
Finally, Andy was jogging around the island in order to keep himself in shape. Sweat dripped from his forehead as he panted, inching towards the blue ocean. It was cold... that was for sure... and felt absolutely amazing.
"Campers! Meet me at the bonfire for the next challlllllenge!"
At the bonfire...
"Your next challenge to compete in is a phobia factor!" Chris announced, adding emphasis by throwing his hands in the air. "We're recreating season one's fear facing challenge."
"What's the twist in this one?" Aaron rolled his eyes.
"The twist is... there is none! All you have to do is face the fear you wrote on your application."
Harmonia gulped. No one knew her deepest fear, and she begged to keep it that way.
"The interns will lead you each to an assigned room. If you successfully defeat your phobia, you'll hear a little chime go off. And if not, there will be none. The team with the most faced fears wins!"
Ryan - Team Alpha
"It says on here that your fear is... snakes," the intern read to him.
The gamer nodded nervously, his stomach twisting into knots. "Th-that's right." He looked around the room, seeing the false plants and ferns surrounding him.
"Alright. Come on out, Bitsy!"
"B-Bitsy?" Ryan stammered. "Is the name b-because he's small?"
The intern shook her head. "Nope. It's because he loves to bite!"
Ryan quickly gulped. Ever since he played an arcade game where you had to hunt down the feral animals... the snake was who got him. It was too intense for a 7 year old, and he flipped out when the blood dripped down the screen.
"If you'll pet the snake, that's a point for your team. And if not, you know what happens." The intern left him alone in the room.
"Please don't hurt me, little snakies..." Leaves rattled as it looked like a creature was slithering through the bushes. Eyes appeared from each bush. After an estimate of five minutes, Ryan ran out of there faster than Temple Run.
The bell did not go off for Team Alpha.
Amanda- Team Delta
Amanda walked down the long hallway, wondering what would be waiting for her in that room. News of Emma's death? The worsening of her cancer? Or even worse... mosquitoes... the flying demons from Hell.
The door was opened for her as she walked in. A big mesh cage sat on the table in front of her.
"You listed two fears, but only one we can really use. Your phobia of mosquitoes. We're going to release all of these bugs, and you have to spend ten minutes in here before you can get out."
Amanda gulped, but nodded. "O-okay. I can do it."
The intern unzipped the mesh, and a million bugs flew around the room. The intern ran out and Amanda was left alone.
"Okay, Amanda. You can do this..." She stared at all of the bugs flying around. "You can do th-this..."
One landed on her arm, and she screamed. "I can't do this!" Amanda fleed the room, mosquitoes clinging to her clothes.
A bell did not go off for Team Delta.
Felix - Team Alpha
"So, you're afraid of... dolphins?" Vasilisa asked, dumbfounded.
"Don't. Even. Say it," he mumbled.
"Whatever, you just have to pet Lei (1) here, okay?" The enchanting marine animal did flips around the water, and Felix screamed.
"I DON'T WANT TO PET THIS MONSTER!" he screamed.
"You have to try, or else you can't leave."
Felix's hand trembled as he reached out to touch the dolphin. Her eyes sparkled, and she looked pretty adorable for such a devil. "Awww..." With that, Felix easily gave the dolphin a pet on the head. "Oh my goodness, I actually did it?!" He pumped his fist.
The bell went off.
Seth - Team Delta
As he made his way into the room, Seth couldn't stop thinking of his biggest fear- crabs. Once he was pinched in a very... sensitive place.
"I'm not ready," he told the intern. "I can't do this!"
The intern merely ignored him, opening the door to reveal a room full of crabs.
"No!" Seth plead. "I'm begging you- I don't want to be clamped up again! I'll face my fear of... cake!"
She continued to remain silent. "Step inside. You have to spend five minutes in there. If you survive, you earn the first point for Team Delta."
The door clicked, signalling that it was locked. Seth facepalmed as he tried his hardest to tug it open. He whipped around, only to see a large, red crab on his heels. He immediately let out a scream as it pinched his tendons.
The bell did not go off.
Valentina - Team Alpha
Volcanoes...
Volcanoes...
Not volcanoes.
For as long as Val could remember, volcanoes had given her quite a fright. The thought of an eruption made her worry... and the thought of ashfall burying a city... she shuddered.
"So what do I have to do?" she asked, wanting to get this over with. The intern, who's name tag said Anna and was a boy (might the authoress add), ushered her over to an eroding lavender table that looked like a science project.
"The volcano is built," he said. "You just have to add the baking soda and the vinegar to cause the eruption. Can you handle that?"
Val gulped as the intern passed her about a liter of vinegar and nearly a kilogram of baking soda, and her hands visibly trembled as she held onto them. "I-I can try."
"Good luck." The intern dashed out of the room and up to a sound booth. The squeal of an adjusting microphone filled the room and her ears. "Okay, for the point. Do you want to do this, Valentina?"
She thought it over, glancing at the papier mache volcano, glancing at the ingredients in her hands, and glancing up at Dylan. "Yes. I'll do it. For Team Alpha."
"That means I'll be guiding you through the experiment. First, pour in the baking soda, and then the vinegar. Simple as that."
Listening to what he told her, she dumped both of them in quickly. It sizzled and fizzed for what seemed like forever... until it finally exlpoded.
Valentina may have been stuck in the middle of that eruption, but...
The bell went off.
Imanol - Team Delta
The goody-two-shoes gulped as he began thinking of eight legged devils... a chill went up his spine as he thought of the embarassment from the previous time seeing one.
"For your phobia of spiders, Imanol, you have to spend five minutes in here with this tarantula."
"T-tarantula?! Is... it in a cage?"
"Not in the budget, I'm afraid," the intern said. Imanol felt anger and fear all at the same thing. Paranoia set in and it was like an arachnid was crawling up his spine.
"Well, is it poisonous?"
"Slightly. Try not to get bitten, big guy." The intern punched Imanol's arm, harder than he apparently attended. He growled, as the door was swung open.
The furry, black spider was roaming freely around the room, arching its legs and sending a large hisssss towards Imanol.
He couldn't do this. He really, really couldn't. He hurdled down the hallway, screaming his head off.
The bell did not go off.
Olivia - Team Delta
The room Olivia was ushered into was pitch black. But it felt like someone else was in here. Oh ,and She knew just who...
The intern handed her a flashlight, and the door clicked shut. The skater cursed under her breath angrily.
"Who's the birthday girl?!" came a loud shout. A honk followed after.
It was a freaking clown. A synonym for clown was practically big squishy vampire man.
At least that's what this clown looked like. A big squishy vampire man.
As a surge of fear rushed over her, she held the flashlight right into his beady brown eyes.
"EAT FLASHLIGHT, DIRTY CLOWN!" Olivia screamed, both blinding and nearly gagging the clown.
The bell went off.
Zach - Team Alpha
The intern directed the artist towards his room. It was separate from everyone elses, in a roomy metal loft plenty far from their large building. He was feeling slightly confident, especially after speaking with Horton and Flumpty for a moment before the door was opened.
When he saw it, it was absolutely... tech-y. The walls were sheets to have images projected onto, and the ceiling was simply a dozen projectors in a square and were those... sprinklers? The floor was grass, there were little daisies hidden in them, and it looked like he was much more fortunate than the others. What'd he do to deserve a trip into paradise?
Once the surround sound speakers were at full blast, flashes of light were everywhere.
This was a thunderstorm, not a nice paradise! Why did he not think this through?
Then the rain started up, pelting him harder with each shriek he emitted. It gosh darn hurt, like a needle was entering his skin each time the drop fell.
The thunder boomed across the room. The pouring rain began to ache even more, and though he didn't want to give up, Zach screamed, "Stop! I-I can't!"
The rain immediately stopped. As did every other part of the thunderstorm.
"Relieving. We were about to release a tornado on you."
The bell did not go off.
Clementine-Noelle - Team Alpha
Clementine walked into the room, glistening with light from a pool that was there. She was in her bathing suit, a purple and black striped bikini, and armed with a towel and lime green goggles.
"I get that there's no money around here, but can they at least afford goggles that won't make me look like a freaking idiot?" she scowled. Clementine set the towel on the chair facing the meter-deep end. She looked down into the water, an endless, midnight blue pit. She shuddered, but took a deep breath.
"There's no lifeguard," she announced, trying to sound convincing, towards the cameras. "I could die, you know."
There was no response, clarifying that she had no option but to get in and try and conquer her dang fear. "Thanks, mom! Dad! I'm going to drown because of you!"
Still, no one answered her prayers. So she stuck one foot in.
And the other.
Then both of her legs, her torso, until the water was around her shoulders. Clementine was still latched onto the side, goggles around her blonde hair and a frown on her face.
She launched herself from the edge, and was now paddling weakly in the center of the 'deep end.' When she stuck her face in the water, and the bottom wasn't even visible, she realized that this wasn't happening.
The bell didn't go off.
*Confessional*
Clementine: "I'm a fool! I could've done that!" she cried.
*static*
Alexandra - Team Delta
This was so boring... Alexandra was merely sitting there, watching on the screen as the other contestants were humiliating theirselves. It wasn't hilarious... she needed something more!
How about a prank? On none other than Chris! How priceless that'd be!
And so she dashed into the cabins, dug through her bag, and found that firework she's been waiting to use ever since 4th Grade. Ah, the silky red wrapper... and the untouched fuse.
Alexandra tucked the lighter into her pocket and ran into the operating room, which read that this was Mika's room. She watched him as he was doing... whatever he was doing... and set the firework in the trashcan below the board of buttons and levers and that fancy stuff. The fuse was lit, slowly burning down, and she raced out of there, down the halls and outside.
BOOM! She watched 1/20 of the building burst into smoke, and fireworks erupting out of it. She was doubled over in cackles, but a firm grip held her hand, and the cold touch of metal was burning on her wrist.
"Hey! Who's-" When she whipped around, she noticed the policeman behind her. "O-Officer Cecetti? I-I thought you were at juvie! Why are you not at work?"
"Because I work for the national government now, which means I'm the officer at a legitimate prison."
She gritted her teeth, but then the anxiety rushed through her. "Wait- I'm going to actual prison?"
He nodded. Therefore Alexandra felt terrified. He dragged her down an unfamiliar hallway, and stuck her right in a jail cell.
Hours passed, and the rebellious teen felt like a bird in a cage.
"Hey Alexandra?"
"Yes, Mike?"
"It's Officer."
"Whatever."
"What?" she snarled.
"Have you ever wondered, 'I wonder if this person is being honest?'"
"No, I haven't- wait!" Alexandra shot up, eyes wide in shock. "This is a prank, isn't it? D-did you know that I would be trying to set that firework off?!"
"I knew it better than I knew the fact that an apple is a grain."
Alexandra began picking the lock. "You're absolutely hilarious. Anyways, I better get back to that boring room. I think that I should be back there by the time that I have to-"
The bell went off.
"Wait, that was my fear? What the f-"
Eadlyn - Team Delta
"So, a room full of bugs, eh?" Eadlyn asked, trying to appear confident.
The intern nodded. "Yep, a room full of bugs."
"What kind, may I ask?"
"All kinds." He made a rainbow-like shape with his hand. "Mainly insects, considering we had to use the spiders and mosquitoes for Imanol and Amanda."
Eadlyn nodded timidly as the door opened up.
Nothing had ever looked more terrifyingly interesting in her life. The insects were all swarming around, and there was a variety, from ants to bumblebees to... crane flies?!
"Considering how much danger is in this room... we're only making you stay three minutes. Sit in here for that long and you're team gets both a point and the lead."
"The lead?!" she boggled. "I'm in!"
Eadlyn took a seat on the bench. The timer began. A few bugs crawled up her legs and arms and one snaked into her shirt... but she managed to stay in there for the three minutes.
The bell went of for Team Delta.
Andy - Team Alpha
The door squealed open for spooky effect, and Andy stepped into the poorly lit room. The lights were flickering but also casting a green glow among the furniture. It looked like a real life horror movie. There were porcelain dolls lining the walls and Andy trembled.
One individual doll sat in the middle of the room, with a sly expression on her glass face. She was like a Marionette, but worse.
He took a step forward to it, and reached out to pick it up, but decided against it, for it seemed too risky.
"Hello, Andy," said an unfamiliar voice. It was raspy and high-pitched.
"Hello?" he responded.
"Come and play wth me."
"Come and play with us."
He swore that the doll in front of him blinked, and he hurdled outside of the room. There was the sound of shattering glass.
The bell did not go off.
Callie - Team Delta
The room Callie was led into could hardly even be called a room. In fact, it was more of two-thirds of a closet.
"You only have to spend half an hour in that room, alright?" The intern locked the door and started a timer.
"Alright!" she replied. "You can do this, Cal. You can do this..."
But Callie wasn't so sure. It was really dark in there...
And tight...
And she couldn't breathe! She couldn't breath!
"OKAY! JUST LET ME OUT!" she shouted, banging on the door.
The intern stopped the timer. "Congratulations! You got... sixteen seconds...?"
The bell did not go off.
Celia - Team Alpha
The room Celia entered was broad and open, and was filled with windows. She felt herself trembling as she glanced out of them.
*Confessional*
Celia: "It makes me feel s-so embarrassed when I admit it... b-but I'm terrified of windows. As a child, I had to move into a new neighbourhood. But when I did... there was this sinister old woman across the st-street, who r-really liked me," she mumbled. "When I went to visit my friend next door, I brought a popsicle with me, but when I went, there was the woman, asking, 'May I h-have a bite of your i-ice cream?' I d-didn't say anything, but she stole it from me, and walked away..." she trailed off. "Finally, that night, when I was playing in my room alone... I felt uncomfortable, and so I glanced a-around. S-sure enough, there was the woman, watching me through my window as I played. I h-hate looking out o-of windows! I h-hate them!"
*static*
Unsteadily, she sat in the antique purple chair, crossing her legs politely and her gaze dropping to her lap.
What was going to happen? What could happen?
She patiently waited, looking out of the windows from time to time. She decided to look out of one up close.
When Celia went up to one, something jumped up from out of the bushes, an untidy figure with mint green skin and torn up clothes.
"E-Ezekiel?" she merely asked, not taken by surprise the slightst bit.
The bell went off.
Adrian - Team Delta
As he entered the dark room, Adrian couldn't help but to think of how Mika was doing with his fear. What was it? Was he okay?
In fact, he was actually more focused on Mika than himself.
"You know, I can't believe that two of you guys had the same fear! Weird..." the intern trailed off. "But here we are, Adrian!"
He was all alone in the room, which cleansed his mind (though he had an empty brain anyways).
"Same fear...?" he repeated, with a clown coming to his find. There was a honking from the corner. Again, clowns. "Oh, sh-"
The clown popped out, a new one, but with the same menacing grin. "Don't be afraid little boy!"
"Augh!" he shouted, jumping back.
"Hey hey hey! Don't be scared, I'm only-"
"SUCK ON THAT, DIRTY CLOWN!" Adrian pulled the nose off of the clown's cakey face and shoved it into his mouth.
The bell went off.
Mika - Team Delta
Mika slowly stepped in the room, by himself, because the intern was up in a sound booth with the controls for his fear. Firecrackers. He could still see the memory of the ER as a child...
"Here we have this fireworks," announced the intern, "and there's you. You just have to stand there while they're set off.
"Isn't that dangerous?" he questioned.
The intern didn't respond, but instead Mika was greeted with a surprise explosion that left the intern screaming. Mika shrieked too, but with held more courage. More of the fireworks were triggered and he caught a glimpse through the window. Alexandra?!
Mika raced out of the room, screaming for dear life, but to his surprise...
The bell went off.
Ian - Team Alpha
Ian's eyes were as large as plates when he stepped into the small room. He let out a shriek as he looked around. Needles on the walls, on the floors...
There was even a deep pit of needles where he was about to step.
"Ee!" he screamed audibly.
After a few moments of panic attacks, he realized that they weren't coming closer as he had first thought.
"I-I'm alive!" he celebrated. "This is nothing!"
The bell went off.
Aaron - Team Delta
Rather than a room, Aaron was brought into a section of bright forest, full of pleasant songs of birds.
What was Chris tricking him into?
"So your paper says you're afraid of monkeys?" snorted the intern, who just so happened to be Vasilisa.
Aaron nodded. "So?"
"So, you're facing that fear right here, right now. We have four monkeys in this forest who are set out to find you and kill you."
"Kill me? That's a joke, right?"
She shook her head. "No, it isn't. These monkeys will literally come and murder you."
"Monkeys don't know how to kill! You're just overexaggerating!" shouted Aaron out of anger.
Vasilisa stepped back into the shadows with a sinister look on her face. God, he hated that intern.
The loud squeal erupted from the bushes, and it sounded like there was a shing of a knife.
"You are *beep*ing kidding me. Monkeys don't have knives, this is so freaking stupid."
One was tossed, and landed right beside of his ear. His eyes widened, but he still wasn't believing it.
However, the bell did not go off.
Denise - Team Alpha
"Woo, I'm so excited! Are you excited? I'm gonna face my fear! What am I doing? Will it be a monster? Or heights? Or will I do a combo? I can dress up as a monster and jump from a tall height!"
The intern tried to ignore Denise's constant blabbering. "It's going to be heights, alright?"
He led her to a high up diving board of-some-sort. It was creaky and looked on the brink of collapsing.
"Ooh! Yay! I'll go get my bathing suit!" She began to skip off, but the intern stopped her.
"No, you won't need it."
"But if I'm jumping into water-"
"You don't need it."
Denise stuck out her bottom lip.
"Just climb this, jump into the water, and you get a point."
The Sweetheart had a look of sincere determination upon her face as she climbed the rickety ladder. She had to use a lot of force to pull herself up, so much that it brought down the ladder and the diving board alike.
"Default point?" she asked hopefully. The intern shook his head.
The bell did not go off.
Adam - Team Delta
Adam felt a shudder spread throughout his body at the thought of his phobia.
Slime.
*Confessional*
Adam: "Slime... it's just gross. Wh-what else is there to say?"
*static*
Adam was wearing his swimming attire, which was purple swim trunks, and he slowly approached the mat he was told to stand on.
Where slime would pelt him. Personal freaking victory, right?
As soon as he stepped onto the mat, the bucket flipped over and slime was dumped on top of him. It was surprising, but not to the point where he flipped out.
"Really? That's all?!" he exclaimed.
The bell went off.
Harmonia - Team Alpha
Chris gathered everyone in the Mess Hall so that they could watch Harmonia's fear be performed. After all, everyone would be very entertained.
Harmonia wasn't. "Why does everyone have to be here? Can't I have a private phobia challeng like everyone else?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because you have the best fear of everyone."
"Does she have thanatophobia?" asked Ryan. "Because if she does, I am not watching her die."
Chris and Harmonia both shook their heads.
"What's her fear then?" Seth questioned.
"Don't. You. Dare. Tell them," snarled the Japanese girl. "I demand to be alone!" She stomped her foot on the ground, but it had no emotional effect over Chris.
"Harmonia is terrifed of unicorns."
This was met by laughs from everyone.
"Well it's not my only fear. I'm also afraid of losing."
"We're on a losing streak..." mumbled Ian sheepishly. "Isn't that enough?"
"Fortunately, no. We're all going to sit here and make Harmonia watch a full episode of Pretty Little Pony."
"Nooooo!" cried Aaron desperately. "Please, I am begging you not to make me watch that garbage!"
Chris grabbed the remote and a cute little theme song began to play.
Harmonia was going to yank her pigtails out. It was more of anger than far that was getting to her.
Finally, she broke. "AHHH! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE! TURN THIS CRAP OFF!"
Chris smirked. "Just what I was waiting to hear."
The bell did not go off.
Both Teams- At The Bonfire
"Well, after tallying up the results, the winning team was, with six points opposed to four..." The host paused for maximum emphasis. "Team Delta!"
Team Delta were all cheering, while none of Team Alpha was breaking down. Everyone expected Clementine or Harmonia to threaten a recount, but they remained quiet.
Maybe it was just a habit now.
"There's an hour before the next voting ceremony. Talk it out, Alphas, and I'll see you here tonight."
Team Alpha's Cabin
"We lost. Again," groaned self-elected leader Clementine.
"Obviously," added Ryan.
"Why do we keep losing? Can't we win for once?!"
Felix shrugged. "Well, obviously not..."
Clementine- Noelle sent him a firm glare. "What I'm saying is, tonight, we should vote out someone who (A) didn't face their fear, and (B) shows signs of being a threat."
"I-I'm safe!" Celia exclaimed from on her top bunk.
"Me too," Ian remarked, relieved.
"That would mean that Felix, Valentina, Celia, Ian, and I are safe."
"How are you safe?" Val protested. "You didn't complete yours!"
"Well, duh, I mean, I'm the leader."
"Well, duh, you were self proclaimed," chided Harmonia.
Clementine rolled her eyes. "I'm only saying that eliminating me would be a big mistake."
"Keeping you is a bigger one," Andy interrupted.
"I heard that whoever is eliminated this time around gets to be the Aftermath host. Wouldn't that be great!" Denise sang, rolling over onto her stomach.
This was met by a shrug.
"Well, whoever we eliminate has to someone useless."
"How i-insulting!" shrieked Zach. Nods of agreement flooded in. Clementine face palmed.
"We can eliminate Ryan, Zach, Andy, Denise, Harmonia, or me, I guess. Ryan isn't much of a threat, but he's also a strategist."
"Guilty as charged," smirked the Japanese boy.
"Zach belongs in an asylum, which is a big Red X."
Zach's mouth dropped open. "I'm not a mental patient. And my ears work."
"Andy... he's pretty strong, but quite the jerk."
"That's not true!" he confronted. "I think I'm friendly."
"Well, you're an unintentional jerk..." Ian trailed off.
Andy didn't reply, there was no use.
"Denise... honestly I don't see anything to be worried about with her..."
Denise pumped her fist. "Thanks, Clem!"
"And Harmonia, she's just annoying."
"Excuse me? I will literally go and flip that table over there!" Harmonia folded her arms.
"No!" Felix answered. "That table has my precious Lego alarm clock! Break it, and you will pay."
Harmonia rolled her eyes.
"And me... well, there's no reason to eliminate me."
"I could think of a few," Zach mumbled.
"I could th-think of a f-few million," Celia chimed.
Clementine groaned. "Whatever. But hear me out, this is my plan..."
At The Bonfire...
Once the Team Delta peanut gallery had assembled and Team Alpha had filtered in, Chris began the ceremony.
"Team Alpha. I honestly didn't except to see you here again. What a surprise." His voice sounded serious, but he conveyed a sarcastic undertone. "Even I'm going to say it- Team Delta, will you just lose already?!"
"In your dreams!" retorted Alexandra.
"Anyways, I have nine marshmallows on this plate, and a ticket to the Dock Of Shame for one of you unlucky ducks."
"Quack!" chimed Denise.
"Cast your votes."
*Confessional*
Valentina: "As much as it hurts, Clementine made a good point about him."
*static*
Ryan: He draws a big red 'X' on a poster Clementine's face.
*static*
Denise: "I can't decide! If I vote for her, she'll kill me. If I don't vote for her, she'll still kill me because I wouldn't have voted for who she wanted!"
*static*
"And the votes are in!" Chris exclaimed. "The following are safe, all with zero votes;
"Felix...
Valentina...
Denise...
Celia...
Ryan...
and Ian. You six recieved no votes."
They high-fived each other with their empty hand.
"With one vote, and still safe..."
The remaining campers exchanged glances.
"...Harmonia...
and Clementine- Noelle. Congrats."
The two enemies only shot glares at each other. Zach and Andy both looked nervous at this point.
"Zach, nice to see you in the bottom two again, buddy," chuckled Chris. "Anyways... the safe camper is...

The artist caught his marshmallow, and gave one of his imaginary friends a high five. This left Andy appalled.
"Me? W-why me? Who voted for me?"
Only one person had the courage to raise their hand, and that was Clementine.
"Bye-bye, Andy," she waved smugly. He frowned, walking onto the dock.
"Well, I'll see you guys later."
Denise waved frantically. "BYE ANDY! CAN YOU HEAR ME FROM BACK HERE?"
He nodded. "Yeah."
And so with that, Andy stepped onto the boat, and it rolled out into the dusk.
"What a frightful episode! So many twists and turns, so many secrets, and so many questions. Can Team Alpha finally win? Is Alexandra going to end up in prison? And will Clementine and Harmonia kill each other before next week's episode? All these queries answered next time on Total... Drama... Pazzoide!"

That's the most I have ever written, and I am trying to get a freaking book published. This was nearly 72 hours of straight typing, not counting the various breaks I took over the weeks. And sorry for the long wait, too. I didn't mean for it to take that long, or for the chapter to be so dang boring x/
so... any new favorite characters, or any new theories... or any new ships? I can try and set all ships asail but i dunno we'll see :3
I also posted a new story... but it's in Italian o-O so i don't know if you want to check that out, but it'd be cool 3
So... Fomment maybe?
But I hope you enjoyed nevertheless! Arrivederci!
