After months of waiting, many eliminations, and several hilarious fourth wall breaks, we're finally at this story's climactic finale.
Twenty-two competitors fell. Two remains. But only one will be left standing.
This is it!
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Several shots of the island were being shown as Chris spoke. "A little while ago, we decided to add an insane twist to the show. With that in mind, we invited a new kind of competitor. So it was that twenty-four fictional characters from television, books, video games, etc., came to the island for a shot at the grand prize: one million dollars. The challenges were rough, the twists were surprising, and one by one, many were taken down. Now we are down to our last two competitors: Ash, a Pokemon trainer with his best friend Pikachu; and Lammy, a shy rockstar with a heart of gold and a guitar to whack people with. These two succeeded where the rest had failed, but after today, only one will walk away with a huge paycheck. Who will that winner be? Find out in this exciting finale of Total. Drama. Everything!"
*theme song*
Chris was now inside the mess hall. "And we're back," he announced. "Right now, both Ash and Lammy are getting ready for their final challenge. Of course, both are understandably nervous, but ready to face their opponents and whatever challenge may come. Here are their words as to sum up pretty much everything."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"We're in the final two!" Ash exclaimed.
"Pika!"
"I know, Pikachu. I'm excited too. I never thought we would make it here, especially after being eliminated early on. We admit that destroying all those crates, scorching a teammate to a crisp, and sending our team hurtling into the bottom of the cave, wasn't the best way to help out. And after Pikachu and I came back, we expected to be eliminated again pretty quickly. But we didn't. In fact, I think we've made it further than any other returnee in the history of the game. We're about to face Lammy in the final challenge!"
"Pika Pi!"
"That's right, buddy. We're going to win this. Lammy, you're a cool girl and all, but you've gotta go down."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Never, in my wildest dreams, did I think I would make it all the way to the end," Lammy said. "And now here I am. As hard as this show was for me, I don't regret entering. After all, I made the most amazing friends, learned to be more confident, and I met Yusei. He's the one who taught me not to be afraid. To rise to the challenge. He's my number one, and I will always be grateful.
"I admit there were roadblocks. Nom Nom's schemes, Yusei's elimination, Snake's troubles, and suddenly becoming the only member left in Snake's alliance. All that was hard, and at times, I wanted to give up. But I'm never going to give up. I owe it to Yusei. And to all of my friends. Coco, Snake, Sam, Toph, even Deadpool.
"All there is left is to face Ash in one final challenge. It may be hard since he's got Pikachu with him, but I know I can do this. Ash, I'm sorry, but I'm here to win."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Somewhere in the woods, Chef had set up two bleachers connecting each other. One side was yellow and had a flag on top with Ash's face. The other side was pink, and had a flag with Lammy's face.
Chris came in with a megaphone. "I guess we might as well bring in our final two." He pointed to one side of the area.
"Our first competitor is a double package of a young boy and his….rat….thing! Somehow, they went from an early elimination to this! Will they rise to the challenge and pull off a big win? Give it up for….Ash and Pikachu!"
A spot on the ground slid out of the way, and out rose Ash and Pikachu. Both waved at the camera and smiled. Chris walked over to Ash. "Do you think you're both ready to win this?"
Both gave thumbs up. "We're a team," Ash said. "And we'll take on whatever is thrown our way."
"Good words from a confident Ash, but now it's time to bring out his opponent." He gestured to the other side of the area.
"This aspiring rockstar is an example of surprise stories! Starting off as a shy lady who seemed like she would be eliminated quite early, she somehow rose up as a true contender! She repeatedly beat the odds and even succeeded where Snake had failed: taking down Nom Nom once and for all! Is this girl ready to take Ash down? Please welcome…..Lammy!"
Lammy rose up from the ground, guitar in hand (and it still has Stardust Dragon on it). She waved slightly at the screen, and even mouthed, "Hi Mom." Chris walked up to her.
"Do you think you can win against a boy and a powerful mouse?"
The lamb shrugged. "I don't know, but whatever we have to do, I'll do my best."
Chris nodded. "Those were also good words. Both competitors are ready to win this!"
He turned to the bleachers. "Hold on a second. Shouldn't those bleachers be filled up? That's confusing. Who on earth would have empty bleachers?"
Ash and Lammy shrugged, and Chris rolled his eyes.
"We might as well put those bleachers to use and add some spectators. By spectators, I mean the previously eliminated competitors. We're going to bring them here in the order in which they were eliminated."
Ash and Lammy waited while the first competitor appeared.
"Our first eliminated competitor….Fred!"
Fred waved at both finalists before sitting on Ash's side of the bleachers.
"Next up…..it's Stan!" (He will announce Bubblegum based on her second elimination.)
Stan sat on Lammy's side, but he was also wearing a "Come to the Mystery Shack" t-shirt. The finalists rolled their eyes. Typical Stan.
"Our next spectator is….Maya!"
Maya sat beside Stan on Lammy's side. She simply smiled at them.
"Next is the Blue Bomber himself….Mega Man!"
Mega Man saluted Ash and sat on the yellow bleachers, next to Fred.
"The next spectator…..Connie!"
Connie sat on Lammy's side of the bleachers initially, but then had a look of frustration and switched to Ash's side.
"Make up your mind!" Chris yelled at Connie.
"Sorry."
Chris shook his head. "Just bring the next one in. Zelda, come on!"
Zelda simply nodded at both before sitting on Lammy's side.
"Spectator number seven is….Superman!"
This time, Superman didn't sit fully on either side. He flew to the bleachers and sat smack-dab in the middle.
"First Connie, now you?! Pick a side!"
Superman shook his head. "I'm not taking sides on this. I'm cheering for both."
Chris rolled his eyes again. "Fine, whatever. Just bring out Coco."
This time, it was no contest. Coco immediately ran to Lammy's side of the bleachers. Zelda looked at her excited face and scooted a few inches away.
"Little Miss Pretty…..Rarity!"
Rarity sat right on Lammy's side and waved. She was wearing some new decorations to her mane and tail, and those were guitar-shaped hairclips.
"Nice show of support, Rarity. Now how do you remove the decorations you put on the cannon?"
"Why should I? That cannon looks better now."
Facepalm. "Whatever," Chris said. "Just brink in the next spectator. Its….Shrek!"
Shrek sat on the foot of Ash's side of the bleachers, for certain reasons.
"Nice idea, Shrek. Next up is…..Goku!"
Goku also sat on Ash's bleachers, looking excited for the competition to start.
"Our last pre-merge spectator is...Dante."
The first thing Dante did was glare at Chef; he was the reason Dante was eliminated in the first place.
"You wanna keep staring at me, punk?" Chef asked.
Dante shook his head and walked over to Lammy's bleachers, sitting next to Maya. However, he didn't quit glaring right at Chef.
"We're at the post-merge group," Chris announced. "And it's….Double D!"
Double D did the same thing Superman did and sat right in the middle of the bleachers, showing he wasn't inclined to either finalist. Chris huffed. "Fine," he said.
He turned back to the camera. "These people's seating methods are weird. Anyway, next up is…..Deadpool!"
"Hi guys!" Deadpool screamed at the finalists. Funny thing was how subdued he was after his trouble with Julie, but Ash and Lammy smiled at the fact that he seemed back to his original, nutty self.
"I can't wait to see you guys compete! It's going to be awesome and-"
"DEADPOOL, SIT DOWN ALREADY!"
The mercenary groaned. "Ok already." He sat on Ash's side, where most people kept a respectable distance.
"Next up is….Toph!"
Toph made her way to Lammy's side of the bleachers, waving at Lammy as she sat down. The lamb looked where the others were coming from; she knew who was coming next.
"The duelist himself….Yusei!"
Yusei smiled and waved at Lammy as he passed by, making Lammy blush a little. They kept eye contact even after Yusei sat next to Coco on the pink bleachers.
"Alright, quit it, lovebirds. Our eliminated returnee….Princess Bubblegum!"
Bubblegum bowed before both finalists before sitting on Ash's side.
"Don't be fancy with your entrance, ok? Let's just bring out Mandy."
Mandy walked right to Lammy's side and sat down, looking expectant.
"We're bringing out the next two at the same time. Here they are….Sam and Snake!"
The spies walked next to each other and sat with Yusei and Toph on Lammy's side. Both waved at the lamb.
"Bring in the tennis player….Julie!"
Julie waved at Ash and sat on his side of the bleachers, next to Deadpool.
"And last but certainly least, the final eliminated contestant….Nom Nom!"
As opposed to most of the other spectators, Nom Nom didn't even glance at Lammy or Ash. Instead, he sat on Lammy's side of the bleachers. Like he had said before being shot out of the cannon, he was cheering for Lammy because she was the one who took him out of the competition.
Though others felt there was a second reason for his alignment.
"Wait," Double D asked Nom Nom. "Lammy was the one that got you eliminated in the first place. Why cheer for her?"
Nom Nom looked right at him. "She's the one who eliminated me in that final deathmatch. I didn't think she could do it, so I have to respect her somewhat."
"He's forgetting the fact that Lammy saved his miserable life," Dante added, smirking.
"AND I'm trying to forget that happened, thank you very much."
Rarity was surprised. "Aww, you admitted it! And you're thankful for it. You do have a heart."
"How about you shut up before I shave your mane off?!"
That shut everyone up.
"Ok then," Chris stated. "One last thing. Some of the losers have made some banners to celebrate both competitors. Deadpool and Julie made one for Ash, and Snake and his crew made one for Lammy. Guys, reveal your banners."
Deadpool and julie stood up and pulled out a giant sheet, unfolding it to reveal a yellow and black lightning bolt design. And it said in big letters, GO ASH AND PIKACHU! Ash smiled. "Thanks, guys."
Chris looked at the banner. "Not bad. Snake?"
Snake had brought in a huge roll, and he, Yusei, Sam, and Toph grabbed the top of it.
"We unroll on three," Snake told the group.
The group said in unison, "One, two, three!"
The banner unrolled to reveal a pink and silver background, and Lammy's guitar was on it. In alternating pink and silver letters read, ROCK ON, LAMMY!
"I don't know what to say, guys," Lammy said.
"If you think that's impressive, we're not done yet," Sam added. "Rarity, now!"
Rarity zapped the banner with her horn, and the banner started alternating colors, making it look better than it was originally.
Lammy smiled. "You guys rule," she told the group.
"Go Lammy!" Yusei exclaimed. Everyone on Lammy's side cheered (except Mandy and Nom Nom).
Both banners were put above the bleachers. Chris looked at them and nodded.
"You guys are very artistic. And now, to get the challenge underway!"
He rolled down a map, which showed an intriguing race course. "You both are going to run all the way up to the top of the cliff. That thing's a steep incline, so it's not as easy as you think. Once you get to the top, there will be two toboggan sleds waiting for you. The yellow is Ash, and the pink is Lammy. You're going to take the sled and speed back down the cliff, but this time, you'll go down our special obstacle course. Mud pits, a lot of trees, even explosives. The finish line will be right here, back at the spot where we're standing. First person to cross the finish line will be the winner of Total Drama Everything and will receive one million dollars. Second place gets absolutely nothing, so hit this final challenge with everything you have, because there will be no do-overs. Got that?"
Lammy and Ash nodded.
"Then both of you, shake hands. Come on, show good sportsmanship."
The two finalists face each other and shook hands.
"Whatever happens," Lammy said, "I want to say good luck to both you and Pikachu."
Ash nodded. "You too."
Both turned to the cliff (fun fact: they're at the base of it) and got ready.
"This is it!" Chris announced. "The final challenge! Ash, are you ready?"
"Yeah!"
"Lammy, are you ready?"
"Yes!"
Chris smiled. "Then on your mark….get set…..GO!"
And Ash and Lammy started running out of the area and up the cliff. Everyone watched and cheered.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Looks like the final card is being played," Dante said. "Oh, I've been spending too much time with Yusei."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
A few people were following the finalists as they ran, while the rest watched on the monitor back at the spectator area. "This is going to be fun," Connie said.
"I wish I had brought popcorn," Goku added.
Deadpool smiled and pulled several bags of popcorn from out of nowhere. "The Magic Satchel has never let me down," he said. "Who wants some popcorn?"
"Can we have some?" Toph asked.
"Nope. Ash supporters only." All of Ash's supporters (except Fred, Shrek, and Bubblegum, who were following Ash; and Mega Man, who doesn't eat) grabbed a bag of popcorn and stuck their tongues out at Lammy's supporters.
Luckily, Zelda also knew about the Magic Satchel, and gave everyone on Lammy's side (except Yusei, Snake, Sam, and Mandy, who were following Lammy; and Nom Nom, for obvious reasons) some popcorn as well.
"Why don't I get popcorn?" Nom Nom asked Zelda.
"Because you're a furry koala jerk," Dante replied before Zelda could speak.
Double D raised his hand. "Hey Zelda, Deadpool, any of you have fruit?"
Zelda threw him a banana, and Deadpool threw him an apple.
"Fantastic."
"You want anything, Superman?" Deadpool asked.
Superman nodded. "I don't really need to eat, but at this point, some trail mix would be nice."
Deadpool threw him a bag of trail mix. "Help yourself."
(Meanwhile…)
Ash and Lammy were running up the cliff. Both occasionally glanced at each other, but they mostly kept their focus on the race. And they both had supporters running with them.
"Here's some water," Snake said, handing Lammy a bottle of water. "Hydration is key in this kind of thing."
"Thanks, Snake."
Fred handed Ash a water bottle as well. "Thanks, Fred."
"Pretty exciting, huh?" Sam asked Lammy. "Final two."
Lammy laughed. "Tell me about it."
"Whatever happens," Yusei added, "all three of us are right behind you. Well, at least until you get to the toboggan race."
"I have no idea why I'm really running with you," Mandy added. "But you defeated Nom Nom, so I guess you seem ok."
Sam looked right at here. "Come on, Mandy. Show some enthusiasm."
"No."
"Figures."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"What in my history on this show makes people think I'll show any enthusiasm?" Mandy asked.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Shrek looked and saw Lammy having a conversation with her supporters. "Don't make the same mistake she's doin'," he told Ash. "Ya make conversation, ya lose focus. So just focus on winnin'."
"Uh, sure?"
"Fantastic," Bubblegum added. "Whatever you do, don't look back. That money is practically right in front of you."
"Ok then."
Fred smiled. "We're right here with you, so just keep going."
"Doesn't this still count as conversation?"
"Oops," said Shrek.
Ash looked back at Lammy, who wasn't too far behind. "I have an idea."
Pikachu ran over to where Lammy was. "Sorry, but I need to win this," Ash called out. "Pikachu, whack the front of her with Iron Tail!"
The mouse nodded and turned his tail into a steel weapon. Then he whacked the area in front of where Lammy was running. It startled her and the supporters and caused them to fall down. Ash beckoned Pikachu back and ran ahead.
"Chris didn't say anything about doing stuff like that," Snake said as he got up.
"Looks like you have a lot of ground to make up," Yusei pointed out.
Lammy nodded. "Then I might as well keep going," she said as she started running again.
(Later…)
Ash and Pikachu finally made it to the top of the cliff. "This thing is taller than I thought," he said. "Then again, we haven't climbed up this thing since the cliff challenge."
Quickly, they saw the two toboggan sleds; one yellow, one pink. They immediately ran over to the yellow one and hopped on.
"We're not going to be able to follow you on this part," Bubblegum stated. "All we can do is wish you good luck."
"Thanks, guys," Ash said. "Pikachu, are you ready for this?"
"Pika Pikachu!"
"Then let's go."
He started his sled just as Lammy and her friends arrived. "We need to move," Snake exclaimed. "Now!"
Lammy nodded and quickly got on the sled, but before she could start it, Yusei grabbed her arm.
"Before you go…" he said, then he kissed her.
Once it was over, he smiled. "Good luck. Don't look back."
Lammy smiled back at him. "Ok."
Then she repositioned herself on the sled, and Snake and Mandy gave it a good push so Lammy could have more speed.
"You can do it!" Sam called out.
Lammy smiled at them as she sped down the cliff.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Whoo!" Deadpool exclaimed. "Race time!"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Back at the spectator area, everyone was anxiously watching the race on the monitor. Everyone who followed Ash and Lammy to the top of the cliff were teleported back to the bottom.
"Looks like this is it," said Mega Man. "One race to decide it all."
"Have you all been eating popcorn?" Sam asked the group.
Zelda nodded. "All Lammy supporters are getting some from me, and all Ash supporters can get some from Deadpool."
"I hope neither of y'all are out," Shrek said.
And everyone that followed the finalists got some popcorn.
(Meanwhile…)
Lammy was currently speeding down the cliff, but she could see Ash well in front of her. She needed a plan. Luckily, she saw a rock in front of her shaped like a ramp. Perfect. Speeding to the rock and leaning forward to gain some speed, she soared off the rock.
After a few seconds of flying, she landed right next to Ash, who looked at her in surprise, but looked forward again to avoid a collision with a tree. They had made it to an area with a lot of trees.
No sooner did someone steer away from an obstacle that they had to steer again. There were that many trees, rocks, and other hindrances. At times, Lammy held up her guitar to shield herself.
"I still can't believe you brought that up here!" Ash called to her.
"It's nearly indestructible," Lammy explained. "You can thank Yusei for that."
Ash just shook his head. "Pikachu, I want you to blast away as many obstacles as possible."
Pikachu nodded and started using his electric shocks to blast away several rocks. Some of the debris hit Lammy at times, but she was able to block easily. At one point, she had to dodge a huge boulder that Ash accidentally sent her way.
Finally, they cleared through the tree area. Both finalists sighed in relief, but then saw another problem in their way.
"Mud puddle!"
Both went right into the mud, and it really made things a problem. While it didn't really slow either of them down, it splashed all over the place, covering both in mud (thankfully, Chris had also provided goggles for this race). It also made it hard to see, making it harder to avoid obstacles. Needless to say, this obstacle was muddy and hard to manage.
Eventually, both were able to get out of the mud. Lammy and Ash wiped their goggles off and kept looking forward. There didn't seem to be any obstacles in front of them until…
BOOM!
An explosion rocked the course. Everyone turned and saw a smoking crater, which had exploded a split second after Ash had passed over it.
Now they were frustrated. "DARN YOU, CHRIS!" Lammy exclaimed.
More explosions popped up out of the blue as Ash and Lammy sped on. Everyone watched on the monitor as they heard one explosion after another. Yusei and Snake were watching the screen, more worried than anyone else. Even Nom Nom was anxious. He didn't breathe too hard as he watched the screen.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Who says I don't worry about other people?" Nom Nom asked. "Ugh, Rarity's right. I guess I do have a heart. And I hate it."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Lammy narrowly avoided another explosion and suddenly noticed that both she and Ash could finally see the bottom of the cliff.
At the spectator area, Julie was using binoculars to see both racers. She smiled.
"They're almost here. And they're currently neck and neck!"
Now the spectators were standing up, cheering the finalists on.
"Go Ash!" Deadpool yelled.
"You can do it, Lammy!" Toph called out.
Ash and Lammy heard the calls. They were almost there.
"I can see the finish line!" Ash called.
Lammy nodded. "Looks like this is it! This will win it!"
Both continued to avoid explosions as the continued down the cliff. Everyone watched them both in excitement.
Chris was acting like the typical race host. "One million dollars! One winner! Who will it be? The Pokemon trainer Ash, or the rockstar Lammy? Both are neck at neck! It's Ash! It's Lammy! Who will win!"
Lammy held on to her guitar for dear life, and Ash held Pikachu as they braced for impact. They were fifty feet from the finish line…...thirty feet…..ten feet….five feet…
"PHOTO FINISH!"
The sleds were back on level ground and starting to slow down. Finally, Ash and Lammy came to a complete halt. Slightly shaking, both steadily got off the sleds and sat down.
"I'm not dead," lammy told herself. "I'm alive. I crossed the finish line in one piece."
Ash and Pikachu were laying on the ground, exhausted. "Good job, buddy."
"Pika!"
After a few minutes, both walked back to the center of the area, waiting for the results.
"We're going to enhance the image of both of you crossing the finish line and zoom in to see who won," Chris explained. "Chef, enhance the picture."
The picture on the monitor was zoomed in several times, and….
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
...The tip of the neck of Lammy's guitar was shown to be the first thing to touch the finish line, an inch further than Pikachu's ears.
"That's it! It's all over! The winner of the race, the winner of Total Drama Everything, and the winner of one million dollars is...LAMMY, BY A GUITAR!"
Everyone stood up and clapped, cheering. Snake and Sam hugged in joy, Toph whooped in excitement, and Nom Nom simply smiled and nodded. Deadpool and Julie looked disappointed, but satisfied at the same time. Ash saw the result and smiled. "We did good," he told Pikachu.
Lammy, during the excitement, couldn't believe it. She kept looking around, asking, "Wait, I won?" She smiled, still in disbelief, but happy. "I won! I actually won!"
"Hey, Lammy"
The lamb turned and saw Ash and Pikachu standing behind her.
"Good job," Ash said, smiling. "You've earned it."
Lammy smiled back. "Thanks. You were amazing too. And so were you, Pikachu."
"Pika Pi!"
Yusei shook his head out of happiness and pride, then he ran down the bleachers, hurried over to Lammy, hugged her, and spun her around a couple of times.
When he stopped, their eyes locked on their faces. "Lammy," Yusei said. "You did it!"
Lammy simply shook her head. "We did it."
She reached for her guitar and pulled Stardust Dragon off the back. "This card helped me win this," she said, handing it back to Yusei. "So thank you."
Yusei smiled, and then the two kissed.
(That night…)
Everyone was sitting by the fire, with Lammy and Ash sitting next to each other. Neither could stop smiling.
"As a tribute to our first season," Chris announced, "we're going to have one final bonfire ceremony. After several eliminations, challenges, and twists, we finally have a winner. Lammy!"
Lammy stood up as Chef handed her a giant check for one million dollars.
"Bigger check than I thought it would be," she said, laughing.
"Now what do you plan to do with your prize?" Chris asked.
Lammy looked at the group. "For starters," she stated, "I have a couple of friends who I want to split it with." She pointed at Yusei and Coco.
"After that, I really don't know. Buy a house, build a recording studio, help kick-start my music career. I have a lot of choices."
"And to mark this day," Chris continued, "Lammy gets the final marshmallow of the season." He handed a marshmallow to her.
She beckoned to Ash. "Come on over here," she said.
Ash walked over to her, and Lammy pulled the marshmallow into two halves, handing one to Ash. Both high fived as they ate their halves. Then they joined hands and held them up in the air in celebration. The group cheered.
When it died down, Connie asked, "So what now?"
"It's obvious!" Deadpool exclaimed. "PARTY!"
So they threw a party in the mess hall. Yusei and Lammy were spending the first part of it having another duel, while Deadpool pigged out at the snack tables. And most people simply danced and hung out. Everyone was having fun.
Well, almost everyone.
As Yusei finished the duel with a victory for him, Lammy looked around. "Where's Nom Nom?" Sure enough, he wasn't in the mess hall.
Both ran out to find Nom Nom sitting at the dock, looking a little sad. "Nom Nom?" Lammy asked, a little curious.
The koala turned to see who it was. "Oh, it's you guys," he said, with not as much bitterness as usual. "Oh, and congrats, Lammy."
"Thanks, I guess," Lammy said, "but are you sure you don't want to enjoy the party?"
Nom Nom smiled sadly. "Thanks for the offer, but I'll be fine. Don't worry about me."
"Are you sure?" Yusei asked. "I mean, we're all having a really good time in there. You don't need to sit here all night by yourself. Besides, aren't you going to enjoy the fact that the game's over? That you can finally relax?"
Nom Nom just remained silent.
"It's your choice," Yusei added. "But know that the people in the mess hall ceased to be your enemy the minute the game ended."
He and Lammy left Nom Nom still at the dock, but their words left Nom Nom thinking. He had made an enemy of almost every other competitor, but that didn't stop people from trying to get through to him. And besides, these "enemies" had actually been there to protect him multiple times. During the fort battle challenge, then when Snake snapped, and after losing to Lammy in their battle.
"Wait, guys!"
Yusei and Lammy turned back around.
"I guess the party wouldn't hurt."
Lammy smiled. "Then come on already."
Nom Nom ran over to them. "After all, it's just a party."
"So will you eventually learn to accept that friends rule?" Yusei asked.
"Don't push it."
(The next morning…)
The party was a major success, and everyone had a good time. Even Nom Nom had fun, and Mandy wasn't bored. It lasted until around three in the morning, but they left a little something at the snack table.
Deadpool was snoring loudly, having passed out into a food coma during the party. As the sun rose through the window, the mercenary moaned and awoke. He looked around a little before huffing.
"Looks like the party's over," he said. Then he noticed the camera pointing at him. "Oh hello readers. I hope you enjoyed this fine story. Hey TheMasterKat, that date offer's always open if you change your mind. Anyway, this is Deadpool saying 'Thanks for reading'."
And he fell right back asleep.

The story is finally done! I did it! I completed the story!
Congratulations to Lammy for winning in a close race! I admit it may have been a little obvious, but it was fun all the same.
Now, someone has suggested that I explain my elimination order, so here it is.
Fred: As kind and as strong as he is, I eliminated him first because I didn't see him playing a major role in my story.
Ash (1st elimination): Ash seemed like the kind of guy who could easily mess up and make a huge blunder, sending him packing early.
Princess Bubblegum (1st elimination): She seemed the perfect choice for Nom Nom to start his reign of terror. Smart, but slightly naive and overprotective.
Stan: He also didn't have a pivotal role in my story.
Maya: I wanted Nom Nom to eliminate someone who would seem unlikely to steal everyone's stuff, as the more unbelievable it is, the less trusting everyone can be.
Mega Man: Again, I didn't have a big role for him, though if he makes it into the next season, I hope to expand his role a little.
Connie: Having Mandy take something away from an eliminated competitor appealed to me, and Connie's sword was the perfect fit.
Zelda: I love The Legend of Zelda, but she seemed a little too smart and skilled for her own good.
Superman: Do I even need to say it?
Coco: Who else could do badly in the singing challenge and get away with it?
Rarity: Someone gave me the idea for Rarity to be suspicious of Nom Nom's schemes. I decided to add the "get eliminated but reveal everything" part as a slap in the face to Nom Nom.
Shrek: Smart, good family, amazing friends. Does he really need a million dollars?
Goku: Same as Superman
Dante: He's like Duncan. The only man who could rub Chef the wrong way. The difference is that Chef had the opportunity to eliminate Dante, and I decided for him to take it.
Double D: He was smart and lucky enough to make it far, but he didn't have much chance of making it much further.
Deadpool: Another slap in the face to Nom Nom. Besides, after fixing things with Julie, Deadpool's story was pretty much done.
Toph: Everyone else seemed like they could breeze through the quiz. Toph simply didn't, since I doubt she has TV where she lives.
Yusei: His role ended the moment he and Lammy became official. Besides, Nom Nom's hatred of him was enough to switch the votes.
Princess Bubblegum (2nd elimination): Snake's first lash out was bad for the others, but I still had plans for that very plot element. And this was usually where most returnees fall.
Mandy: Her downfall would leave Nom Nom without allies, and therefore, pave the way for Nom Nom's defeat.
Sam: I knew for a while that she would leave on the same chapter as Snake.
Snake: This was the continuation of his Nom Nom problems. I wanted Snake to be eliminated like the bad*** he is.
Julie: I realized I had not made Ash and Pikachu do much since their return, so I decided for Nom Nom to manipulate them into eliminating Julie.
Nom Nom: The villain always falls. That's all I can say.
Finale: Lammy started the story as an underdog. In fact, I had a hard time thinking up a plotline for her until I decided for her to be with Yusei. I saw her story as one of an underdog becoming a strong contender. Her transition from shy weakling to a more confident girl appealed to me, and after what she went through during the story, she deserved the win.
And there you have it.
I will still take character suggestions and poll votes for a few more weeks, but know that the next story may be a little tough going since I'm about to start college.
Lastly, I want to thank everyone for sticking by since I started the story. It wasn't always easy, but thanks to you all, I pulled it off. I love you guys.
So just remember to read and review, fav and follow, and all that.
With all that done, this is your super awesome author signing off. Thanks for everything, and I'll see you around!
TheMasterKat out!
