Chapter 4: Run for Fun!...Sort of.
LAST TIME ON TOTAL DRAMA: The campers had to put their singing voices to the test as they got to sing a song of their choice. Some were less satisfying than others. -Shows Amanda singing 'Let It Go'- But nevertheless, after about 10 songs, Trace finally had enough and made his team forfeit. I think you know who went home, y'know? But now...they will test their will to run.
Who will win and who will lose? Find out right here on TOTAL...DRAMA...ISLAND!"

Isaac had just waken up and yawned like it was going out of style. "Jesus, I needed that rest." He said with a stretch of his arms. "I wonder what the challenge is today." Isaac pondered to himself.
"Probably something hellacious and stressful, like basically every challenge from the past seasons and the current seasons challenges." Cooper said from his bunk. "The only exception is the singing contest(s)."
"Maybe so." Isaac said, getting up from his bed. "I just hope it involves running. I love running."
Cooper gave him an 'are you crazy' stare.
(Kanines Cabin(Girls)
Jacqueline let out a sigh. She'd been up for nearly 2 hours without emitting a yawn. She was indeed tired. So tired that she would make the actual embodiment of tired tired in the art of tiring...tiringly.
Lilly, Amanda, and Emily, however, were all doing separate activities.
Amanda was brushing her hair in the island showerrooms, no matter how filthy they are. And thats not just her feeling that. Everyone thinks its disgusting. Just ask Noah.
Noah: Its disgusting.
Me: Shut up, you.
Lilly was sitting down by the islands dock, looking for seashells. "Seashells are so pretty. Especially under the dawnlight." She had collected just under 10 seashells. "it'll be nice when I bring these home. With or without a million bucks." She said with a smile before walking back to the cabin.
Emily? Well...Emily was sleeping. Emily was as tired as Jacqueline. But the difference was? Emily was the one sleeping.
(Vipers Cabin(Boys)
James was sitting on his bunk, sipping a glass of water. "I really hope we win today...I do NOT wanna lose another member." He said, slightly angrily, putting another crack in his glass of water. He took a breath. "Calm down, you don't wanna make any more water fall on Layne..."
"Its not a problem." Layne said, drenched in water. "I'll just have to hang my pajamas out for the day."
Markus woke up then. "Well, today. We gotta give our best. No doubt that Chris will be unoriginal, but nevertheless, we gotta give our all.
Layne was playing Sonic Generations on his 3DS. "Yeah, whatever."
Thomas walked up to him and snatched it away. "Listen. If you don't wanna be doing this, then you can take your game systems and leave. If you wanna stay and do what you signed up to do, then start showing your worth to the team!"
Layne went wide-eyed. "O-ok."
000(Confessional Start: Thomas)
"I'll admit...i've grown a bit more happy towards men in general, but Laynes really pushing his luck."
000(Confessional End: Thomas)
(Vipers cabin(Girls)
Scarlett was up and ready for the challenge, as always. She was actually happy for today. Nothing would be able to go wrong. Except being eliminated, of course. But., nevertheless, she was sure in mind that that wouldn't happen. So she waited for the challenge call. "I wait..." She said under her breath.
"CAMPERS! GET YOU BUTTS TO THE BEACH WITHIN 20 MINUTES OR ELSE 2 WILL GO HOME TONIGHT!" A despised but entertaining voice came off over the island.
Everybody clearly got the picture for the 3rd time in a row.
-Soon…-
Every camper had gotten to the beach with 7 minutes to spare.
"Way better, campers. I'm almost proud." Chris said with a smirk.
"Why do you care on how long it takes?" Scarlett said, wondering.
"Why do you care about why I care?" Chris asked, smirking.
Cooper facepalmed.
"Anyways, todays challenge is rather simple. You must complete 2 laps around the island. The islands circular shape in rather big so you guys have some time before you complete it. No shortcuts. The starting line is also the finish line. All your members of the team must cross in order for your team to win. Whichever teams members don't all cross...will be sending someone home tonight." Chris explained. "On your mark..."
The campers walked over to the starting line, which was a white line across the shore.
"Get set..."
All the campers got ready to run, none other than Isaac, though.
"GO!"
They all then ran off, starting an official 2 lap race around the island.
Layne was, surprisingly, off to a good start, he was in 2nd place in the general race. 1st place belonging to Isaac. Isaac? Why him? He had basically been running for a hobby all his life. Too bad it didn't pay or else he'd be a billionaire.
"Man, I love doing this. I just really hope I can win." Isaac mumbled. "I don't want to go...I don't want to go back to that bitch...even if I die here, i'll die happy."
Layne raised an eye. "What's he mumbling about…?" He shook his head. "Never mind. I gotta win this for the team!" He said nearly being pinched by a crab. "JESUS H. CHRIST THAT WAS CLOSE." he yelled.
-later, after everyone was passed the 1st lap-
Chris was looking on the cameras around the island to see who was in the lead. Here's how the order was so far:
1st: Isaac
2nd: Scarlett
3rd: Layne
4th: Lilly
5th: Cooper
6th: Thomas
7th: James
8th: Jacqueline
9th: Amanda
10th: Markus
11th: Emily
"Man, this race is really heated. With some closer than others!" Chris mumbled to himself. "I might be obvious who's gonna be first..." Chris said.
Chris then walked out of the camera room in order to look at the race better when Isaac passed the finish with Scarlett not too far behind.
"Isaac, you are the first member to cross for your team."
Isaac jumped with an obvious hint of joy.
"But the question is...can all of your members pass before the other team?"
As that was said, Scarlett passed the finish line and Layne crossed as well.
"Scarlett and Layne! The Vipers are now one step closer to victory!"
As Chris was done speaking, about 20 seconds later…
And 'Animal Lover Lilly' crosses the finish, being 4th place overall!" Chris said. "And now if you could stand over by Isaac that way you can't get trampled by the other racers, that'd be great!" Chris said sarcasticly.
Chris just yawned. "Who wants to speed this up? I'll put on a montage on who makes it places 5th-9th since Inky thinks he sickness is still around and he wants to rest to get rid of it."
Me: QUIT BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL! koff (I seriously have a cold.)
"5th place goes to none other than Cooper! 6th place goes to Markus, who made a comeback from 10th place! 7th place goes to Mr. Nice Guy James! 8th place goes to Emily and 9th place goes to Jacqueline!
That just leaves Thomas and Amanda to come around the finish!"
Thomas and Amanda had just come around the final oart of the race around the island, as Amanda was way ahead of Thomas, as it seems. Or was she?
As they got closer, and teams were anticipating, they also learned that shadows are misleading as hell. Thomas was literally right there at the finish line. And what did he do? He stepped over it of course.
"And the Vipers win the challenge!" Chris said. "Go get some rest, you guys." As the Vipers did as they were told, Chris turned to the Kanines. "As for you guys? Well, you guys have got some voting to do!"He said as he walked off. "You guys have 2 hours."
The Kanines team looked at each other, worried.
-before the ceremony-
Isaac was sitting beneath a tree. "Dang it...we were so close too!" He put his hand over his head. "Please make me stay here, God."
A voice from behind him then spoke up. "Mind if I sit with you?"
He then looked behind him to find out that it was Lilly. "I don't mind at all, Lil." He said sincerely and smoothly. He continued to look at the moonlight while Lilly sat down next to him.
"Stinks that we lost." Lilly said while looking down in a pouty matter.
"Yeah...but when you're all the way down, there's nowhere left to go but up. At least thats what im told."
"You're being told by the right people, then." She said right before giving Isaac a hug.
The hug wasn't usually an awkward one now. It was kinda like a kind hearted, warm, hug. That you wanted to be in forever.
Sadly, though, it was forced to end. Abut 20 seconds into the hug, Chris called up over the intercom.
"Kanines! Get to the ceremony and the elimination will start!"
Isaac and Lilly then shot up and ran to the campfire, both having slight blushes on their faces.
-at the ceremony-
"Kanines...you raced like champs, you played like champs...you just didn't become champs. That's why you're here! We all know the gist about if you don't get a marshmallow, so lets do this! First one safe is...Emily.
"Yes!" She yelled as she got her marshmallow.
"Jacqueline, Isaac, and Lilly." He said as the three ecstatic campers caught their sugary sweet.
"Cooper...Amanda...two of you...one marshmallow. Who will go home? You're gonna see right now, because the one who is safe is….

.Amanda. So by that happening, I have to say that Cooper is eliminated.
Cooper stood up from the log. "Oh well, guess my stay has ended. Goodbye, friends. May you have the best of luck in the merge." And with that, he walked to the dock.
-At the dock…-
"Coop. Have any last things to say to your former teammates?" Chris asked.
"Nope! Pretty sure I said it all on the island. I just don't get why I was voted off though..." He mumbled as the boat drifted off.
Once the boat was out of sight, Chris turned to the camera.
"Wasn't that a fun episode? Surely you must be happy that you weren't the one running, eh?" he cleared his throat. "Anyways, who will win and who will lose? Find out next time on Total...Drama...Island!
-Amanda Start Confessional-
"Yes...i can be nice. But when you fight for family? Hehehe...well? Game on." Amanda said after she cracked her knuckles.
-Amanda End Confessional-
Quick Note:
Hey guys! Im surprised that I actually got this one out. Sure I might not be as long as the others or as entertaining as the others, but I did have a hassle writing this one out.
You see, my throat has been hit with something bad. Feels like a sore throat, but I think it stopped by now. But I still have undeniable pain in my mouth because of my tongue and lip bites. It sucks. I got in a fight and cut into my tongue deep, causing a deep bite, which adds on to the suckiness even more.
Yep, even squids have sick days.
But, lemme know what you thought about the chapter that way I can improve on anything or anyone that I forgot/need to add in to a character. The criticism helps a helluva lot, guys. Even through sickness, you guys are my number one priority.
See ya'll later, because this is Inky Zzarzz signing off.
