"Last time on Total Drama World Tour," Chris recapped, "Steeped in tradition, Japan's moern allure is as fascinating as its rich history. Here, our competitors experienced Japan's innotative entertainment. And Ella celebrated Japan's rich culture, which resulted in one of the longest and most heartfelt eliminations in Tota Drama history. Ella's sacrifice means we're three warriors down, fourteen to go with five milion big ones up for grabs on Total...Drama...World Tour!"

In first class, Echo was sleeping in her seat while Gwen and Courtney lounged back. "Miss Sammy," Lucas offered as he passed her a drink, "Some hot chocolate?"
"Thanks," Samey replied as she took the mug. "This is my favorite." She realized something and gave Lucas a suspicious look. "What?" he wondered. "Is it wrong to be a little bit gentlemanly towards kind people like you?"
"It's not that exactly," Samey nervously told him. "How did you know this was my favorite drink?"
"Truth? In three words, Sierra's fan blog." Lucas gave a slight chuckle as he sat down in a chair. "Ella es una conejita loca."
"Not that one!" Samey warned him. "That's-" Lucas was wrapped by a huge python. "Help me..." he squeaked out.
"How many times do I have to say it?" Trent breathed out after he changed back from a python. "Give a little warning! You could've squashed me like a pancake." Lucas regained his breathing before passing out. "Too far?" Samey suggested.
"Yeah," Trent moaned as he slumped back in his chair.

"Sometimes when I change into different animals, my mind becomes a bit more, um, wild. Never said I was proud of it."

Team Chris and Team Victory, save for Dakota, were sitting in loser class. Greg was scribbling in a notebook while Sam played a video game. "Boom!" Sam exclaimed. "I finally beat that boss!"
"Pretty impressive, Sam," Greg complimented as he took a glance at his handheld.
"Huh?" Helga wondered as she pulled out a pink bow from the seat cushions. "Didn't this belong to Princess Girl?"
"Yeah," Phoebe sighed. "I'm really sorry Ella's gone."
"Stupid loser class," Jo grumbled. "We need to win the next challenge."
"Right. We just have to try our best."
"Can the inspiration speeches, Wonder Wuss. I've got a better idea." Jo turned her attention to Sam. "You know how you spell ugly?" she asked him. "U...U...U, U, U!"
"Jo!" Phoebe scolded. "Don't be mean!" Sam was about to say something when Greg passed him a sheet of paper. He adjusted his glasses before reading the paper. "And you, Jo, look like...a dude," he told her. Sol chuckled at this while Jo was left speechless for a moment. "Oh, yeah?" Jo countered. "Well, you look like a ball of lard with eyes!" Greg passed Sam another note. "You, Jo, really look like...a dude," Sam responded. Jo's face turned red with frustration. "The only thing uglier than this," she told Sam as she showed him his reflection in one of Dakota's mirrors, "Is this!" She showed him another reflection of him. Greg passed Sam another note. "Do you look like a dude?" Sam read before putting the paper down. "Yes."
"Why, you-!" Jo grumbled as she raised a fist to Sam.
"JO!" Dakota shouted as she entered the room, an angry expression on her face. She whipped her tail at Jo, knocking her into the luggage. "I better not catch you messing with Sam or his friends again!" Dakota warned her.
"But...but he said I look like a dude!" Jo argued.
"He's not exactly wrong, Jo," Phoebe pointed out.
"I thought you were man on first day of camp," Helga admitted. "But I was proven wrong soon." Jo gave a grumble. "See, Sam?" Greg pointed out. "Brain beats brawn every time."
"And how is everyone back here?" Chris asked as he popped in. "That is what I would ask if I cared. Coming through, make way." He walked past everyone and headed to his quarters. "Where are you taking us next?" Jo wondered as she brushed herself off. "Can it be somewhere where there's no pinball of any kind?"
"Or pandas," Phoebe sadly noted.
"Or candy fish tails," Topher added.
"Aw..." Luna moaned.
"Our next destination is everything you've just asked for," Chris replied. Greg had a concerned look.
Confessional: Greg (Team Chris Is Really Really Ghost Pepper Hot)
"Experience has taught me that when Chris says one thing, he means something else." He took a look out the window and gasped as his eyes widened in shock. "I hope Desi packed my snow gear 'cause it looks like this plane's going way north."
End Confessional
The plane shook in the air. Team Victory rushed to fasten their seatbelts, with Helga being knocked into Topher. "You okay?" he asked her.
"Fine," Helga moaned. "I had worse."
"We've got some nasty airbumps," Chef reported over the intercom. "Lock your butts to a seat. Over!"
"You don't need to say 'over'," Chris informed him.
"I like saying it. OVER!"
"WHEE!" Luna squealed as she did a cartwheel.
"AHH!" Sam screamed as Greg clutched onto his shirt with fear. "WE'RE GONNA DIE!" Topher squeezed the boys' shoulders, and they were out like a rock. "Can't believe that actually worked," Topher noted. Helga and Phoebe clutched their seats while Dakota was praying. Sol was trying to buckle himself when the strap ripped. "Perfect," he sarcastically muttered. In the cargo hold, some mice jumped out. "Cowards!" Max spat out. "How dare you desert me!"
"Can we stop messing with them and level out?" Chef asked Chris.
"Um...nah!" Chris decided. The duo laughed. The plane soon landed and crashed in an icy area in Canada. "Careful!" Phoebe warned as she opened the door. She and the others were shoved out of the plane and landed in the snow. "Incoming!" Greg warned as he jumped out. He crashed into a hidden ice block. "Welcome to the Yukon!" Chris greeted. The wind blew, freezing a bird and her eggs.
A moment later, everyone was at a starting line in front of a half-frozen river. The cast, save for Helga and Greg, were shivering from the cold. "Much better than that Egypt place," Helga noted. "Nice and cold."
"Nice for you," Greg; now dressed in a heavy green snowcoat, green snowgloves, yellow snowboots, a yellow beanie and a green-and-yellow scarf; muffled. "Even with this, I STILL feel like I need to warm up!"
"Hello!" Sol scolded. "Where are our jackets?! We're freezing!"
"Relax," Chris, in a white parka and mittens, assured them. "I ordered coats for everyone." The cast cheered at this. "They won't be ready for weeks, but as soon as they arrive, I'll be sure to hand them out." Everyone moaned at this. "Maybe we should huddle for warmth?" Courtney recommended. Sol smirked at Samey. "D-don't...you...d-dare," she stammered to him. "I'd...rather...fr-fr-freeze!"
"And I thought Helga was stubborn," Greg squeaked out as he and Sam were held tightly by Dakota. Phoebe and Courtney hugged Topher for warmth. He looked at Helga, who gave a soft smile. She noticed Trent and Gwen on her and pushed them away. "I have boyfriend!" she spat out.
Confessional: Helga (Team Victory)
"I do not like that Topher boy. He is nothing like my teddy bear Rodney. Ah, I can still imagine his warm muscles, his caring smile, and me rubbing my hands in his dark...GINGER! Ginger hair!" She gave a groan.
End Confessional
"Little chilly without mittens," Chris noted.
"Cocoa?" Chef, in a snow vest and fur hat, offered.
"Don't mind if I do." Chris drank his cocoa. "Much better," he sighed.
"This may sound pointless," Sol began, "But are you gonna share that?"
"Of course not," Luna cut in before Chris had a chance to speak, "It's Chrissy's favorite drink."
"Wrong," Chris corrected, "My-"
"Second only to tomato juice."
"That's...not on the fan sites. How'd you-?"
"I went to your old high school to check if Sierra's info was right. And those teachers of yours had A LOT to say about you, like-"
"Okay, okay," Chris interrupted as he covered Luna's mouth. "Moving on. Crossing the icy river in Canada's frozen tundra used to be easy back when the river was frozen solid. But thanks to global warming-"
"And Luna," Sol cut in as he pointed to his sister.
"Earth is finally becoming a lot more interesting, by which I mean DEADLY!"
"Yay!" Luna cheered.
"No cheering," Helga scolded.
"Today's challenge is called Total Drama: The Icicle!" Chris announced. "Teams must make their way across this watery chasm by jumping from ice floe to ice flow. First team member across must make their way to the dog sleds on the far shore and become the dog, pulling a sled all the way to the finish line as you grab the rest of your team along the way at marked meeting points. Sleds are first come, first serve, so move fast. Don't worry. If you fall into the water, we're legally required to save you. So, we have a diver ready at standby. And by diver, I mean our klutzy intern Lucas."
"Recuedame que me ria, McLean," Lucas shivered as he stood at the edge of the river, his skin now matching the shade of the water.
"The sled race wouldn't be a trouble for Solstice," Echo teased. "He's already a complete dog."
"I guess the same applies to you," Sol countered. "You know what they call the female dog." Most of Team Amazon and Team Chris laughed at this while Echo could only scowl. "Whichever of you weaklings doesn't reach the sled head straight for the finish line," Jo ordered to Team Victory. "That way, we won't waste time stopping at every meeting point."
"That does sound like a good idea," Dakota thought.
"I think that could work," Phoebe hoped.
"Meh," Helga shrugged.
"What is the reward for this challenge?" Topher asked Chris.
"Did I say reward?" Chris replied.
"I'm just thinking that we've already had three eliminations, and we don't have enough people to eliminate someone in every episode."
"Besides," Samey added, "We're overdue for a reward, even if it's a cheesy one like bowls of ice cream."
"Yeah," Chris said, "But we found teams try harder during elimination challenges. So this year, there's no set routine. Every challenge could end in elimination." Everyone voiced their complaints. "That's the spirit!" Chris encouraged as Chef walked over with a horn. "On your mark, get set, go!" Chef blew his horn, which sounded like a moose call. The teens ran towards the icy river. Sam jumped on an ice floe first, but he slipped into the freezing water. "Out of the way, What's-His-Face!" Jo barked out as she hopped over him.
"It's...S-S-S-Sam," Sam shivered.
"Sorry, who?" Echo wondered as she walked over to the ledge of the floe. "I don't think anybody named Sam competed on Total Drama before." She hopped over to the next floe. Dakota went over to the ledge and pulled Sam out of the water. "Wh-what just happened?" he stammered.
"Those jerks," Dakota grumbled as she glanced at Jo and Echo.
Confessional: Dakota (Team Victory)
"I seriously don't get this. Sam's the least-talked-about contestant from this cast. Even Max and Echo get more praise on the fanblogs, but one's the first boot and the other's a certified criminal! Sam deserves recognition and fame more than anyone else here! I'll make that my mission!"
End Confessional
Luna easily hopped on the ice floes. "Careful..." Greg muffled as he moved on another ice floe. He managed to jump onto the next ice floe. "Yes! I've got this!" Just then, Echo jumped on the ledge, sending Greg skyward until he crashed into a snowbank. "Thank goodness this coat insulates pain as well as heat," he groaned.
"Man, that water looks cold," Samey noticed as she looked at the river.
"I bet a real gentleman would test the waters to make sure it's safe," Lucas suggested. "I can do that."
"No way, you masked moocher," Sol cut in as he pushed him aside. "I'll be doing that."
"I was the one who suggested it, and-"
"Forget it! I'm going!" Sol ran up and jumped towards the water when he suddenly realized something. "What am I doing?" he wondered. He tried to run back to shore but he quickly fell into the frigid water with a SPLASH. Lucas couldn't help but laugh as Sol bobbed back up and shivered. "And here I was thinking I was the impulsive one!" Lucas teased. "Tu aprendes algo nuevo cada dia."
"Dit le gars qui cache toujours son visage derriere un tissu," Sol countered with a hint of his Cajun accent spliced in.
"Perdoneme?!" While Lucas and Sol continued to argue in their native tongues, Samey managed to slip away from them. "The further, the better," she quietly hoped as she got onto an ice floe.
"This is too easy!" Jo boasted as she quickly got across the ice floes. Gwen landed on another floe. "Wow," she breathed out. "So far, so-" The ice began to crack apart. "WHOA!" Trent was jumping across the ice when he heard her. "Hang on!" he shouted as he went back. He ended up crashing into Samey. A polar bear rose from the water and growled at the duo. They screamed as it tilted the ice floe up in the air. "I don't wanna be bear food!" Samey cried out. Suddenly, an ice block hit the bear in the head. "Back off!" Sol shouted as he hung onto an ice floe. "I ain't gonna start buying funeral flowers for Sammy, got it?!" The bear nodded and swam away. Samey and Trent were dunked in the frigid water. "Hang on!" Trent shouted as he swam towards where Gwen was.
"So," Sol began as he waded towards a shivering Samey, "Wanna thank me for saving you and Trent? Hmm?" Samey continued to shiver until she suddenly let out a sigh of relief. "Why is the water feeling warmer?" Sol wondered.
"Well, how do you think you warm up frigid water?" Samey pointed out. Sol noticed the water around him and Samey had turned yellow. "AH!" he screamed out as he tried to swim away. "You peed! Yuck!"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no! I ain't THAT desperate!"

"How else was I supposed to get Sol to leave me alone?" She gave a sigh. "Amy isn't gonna let me live this down."

Topher was jumping on the ice floes when he lost his footing. He was about to fall into the water but Helga quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him up. "Thanks," he breathed out, "But you know we're on different teams, right?"
"Winning this competition won't be satisfying if opponents are frozen," Helga answered.
"Wow, you're nicer than I thought you were. Team Victory should be proud to have you." Helga gave a quiet gasp.

"What is fuzzy feeling inside chest? It only happened once before, around Rodney." She widened her eyes in shock. "Uh-uh. Rodney and I have always stick together. But now...with just me...I miss Rodney?"

Gwen was trying to cling onto the drifting ice floes. "Come on," she groaned. However, she soon lost her grip and found herself falling. "Huh?" she wondered as she suddenly found herself on the back of a walrus. "Please tell me this is Trent." The walrus nodded his head as he looked at her with his red eyes. "Thank goodness," Gwen breathed out. "Hey, do you think you could get us to the other side of the river?" He started to swim to the other side. "Thanks."
Helga had jumped to another floe when she noticed Topher stunned with fright. "Just jump over here!" she told him.
"It's too far!" Topher shouted. "I don't think I'll make it!"
"Yes, you can! Jump!"
"Okay..." Topher jumped over and crashed into Helga, and the duo accidentally locked lips. "Th-thanks for catching me," Topher stammered as Helga's cheeks turned red, "And for that kiss."
"Pl-pl-please," Helga stammered as she got to her feet, "That was accident."
"I know, I know. I'm so sorry about that. But you have to admit, it felt nice."
"I kinda have a boyfriend."
"You have a boyfriend or you...kinda have a boyfriend?"
"I...kinda...I have...kinda...boyfriend! Kinda."

"The sleds are just up ahead!" Phoebe cheered as she reached the other side. "Whoo-hoo!" Topher and Helga soon reached the other side and shared a smile. "Wait!" Helga shouted as she pushed Topher away. "You're trying to make secret alliance, aren't you?"
"Alliance?" Topher wondered. "Oh, no, no, no. I'm not intending to do such a thing. I'm just trying to be friendly to such a kind person such as yourself." Helga relaxed a little. Gwen soon reached the shore and hopped off the walrus. "Thanks for that," she told the walrus as he changed back into Trent.
"S-s-sure thing," Trent shivered as he got out of the icy water.
"Oh, you're freezing cold, aren't you? Here, let me warm you up a bit." Gwen wrapped her arms around Trent, making him smile.
"Yes!" Jo cheered as she made it across. "That's how it's done!"
"Nice," Chris replied, "And lucky you. Phoebe got here first. She's on dog duty so you get to kick back and enjoy the ride." Jo put on a fur hat as she got in the best sled. She noticed Phoebe sniffling as she put on the harness. "What's with the whimpering?" she complained.
"I think I'm getting homesick," Phoebe exclaimed.
"Oh, come on! Move it!" Courtney and Echo reached the sleds next. "Courtney," Chris announced as they skid to a stop, "First Amazon to arrive. Grab a sled and start pulling."
"Echo got here at the exact same time," Courtney argued. "We should both pull the sled!"
"Yeah...no. In the event of a tie, we go alphabetically."
"Echo, help me out here!"
"What can I do?" Echo countered as she sat in the next-best sled and put on a fur hat. "I didn't invent the alphabet."
"Oh, no!" Sam moaned as he reached the last sled, which had radioactive symbols on them.
"Afraid so," Chris smugly replied. Luna hopped into the sled. "Cool radio signs!" she giggled as she popped up, now glowing neon green. "Yay!"

"I hope Luna doesn't mutate like Dakota did. Uh, not that it's a bad thing. I still love Dakota to death. It's just...well, it's Luna. I don't want her getting something like fire breath." He shuddered.

"Get moving!" Jo ordered.
"I'm trying!" Phoebe strained as she started to pull her sled forward.
"Try not to maim any animals!" Echo taunted, making the hero start to tear up.
"Gee, how lovely," Courtney scoffed. "Now how do you get this harness on?" Phoebe was about to speak up. "Don't help them, Wonder Wuss!" Jo ordered. "I'm not losing any headway! Move faster!" Sam started to pull his sled forward. Echo cracked a whip at Courtney. "Hey!" Courtney complained. "You can't just-" Echo cracked her whip again. "MUSH!" she shouted, making Courtney run as she pulled the sled. Jo looked back with slight concern.

"I'm the meanest competitor here, but even I'm not that cruel to the others! Not even to Brick-For-Brains and his girlfriend Wonder Wuss."

"Will anyone survive the coldest challenge in Total Drama history?" Chris narrated. "Place your bets and cross your fingers. The results after this."

Samey was shivering as she headed towards one of the meeting posts when Lucas popped up. "What are you-?" she began. "How'd you find me?"
"Followed your footsteps in the snow," Lucas explained. "I managed to sneak in a thermos of coffee. Want a sip?"
"No, thank you. You mind beating it, El Romeo?" Samey picked up her pace. "Hard to get, huh?" Lucas thought. He took a sip from his thermos. "Agradable y caliente," he sighed. "Ella se lo esta perdiendo. No solo en el cafe."
Echo glanced at the horizon and saw Gwen and Trent at a meeting point. "Whoa, Courtney!" she shouted. "WHOA!" Courtney skid to a stop as Gwen and Trent hopped on the sled. Echo cracked her whip again. "Stop!" Courtney cried out.
"You kidding?" Echo scoffed. "This makes you go faster...and it's just too much fun!" She cracked her whip again, making Courtney run.

"Whipping? With a whip?! When the time comes, she is so gonna get it."

Sam kept pulling his sled. "If you see anyone," he told Luna, "Call out so we can pick them up."
"Ooh!" Luna called out. "There's you, What's-His-Face!"
"Other than me! And my name's Sam!" Greg ran up to the sled and hopped on. "Found Greg, What's-His-Face!" Luna exclaimed.
"For the love of Dugtrio, don't let her mutate," Greg hoped.
"My thoughts exactly," Sam agreed.
"Here I am!" Dakota called out to Jo and Phoebe.
"Get on here!" Jo told her as she hopped onto the sled. "All that's left is Miss Siberia, and we can dash to the finish line. We're finally gonna win one!"
"We're home-free!" Dakota cheered. The two girls heard Phoebe tearing up again. "Knock off the sniveling and get moving!" Jo barked out.
"I'm trying," Phoebe sniffled, "But the thought of home..." She started to cry again. "I think she's a bit homesick," Dakota thought.
"A meeting point," Topher noticed as he and Helga walked up to a flagpole. "Let's wait here."
"But I need to head to finish line," Helga argued.
"Our teams will find us. Save your strength when you need it most." Topher noticed Helga's flustered face. "Everything...okay?" he slyly asked.
"F-fine, fine," Helga stammered.
"If you're worried about the challenge, don't be. I'll stay by your side for as long as I can."
"Oh, um, thanks."

"I never knew Topher was a gentleman. He really has changed for better...much better...AHH! I have Rodney!"

"That cadet's all, like, 'I'm better than you'," Jo boasted as Dakota listened with a bored expression, "And I told him, 'Says the guy that wets himself in dark caves'."
"Um, girls?" Phoebe spoke up. "I can't-"
"Hey, I'm talking here!"
"I don't see any flags," Dakota noted. "Weird. Phoebe, where's the path to the finish line?"
"No clue!" Phoebe told them. "My tears froze my eyes shut ten minutes ago."
"Why didn't you say something?" Jo complained.
"Well, maybe if someone wasn't shushing me while she bragged about her triumphs over Brick, I could have!" A baby seal crawled across the ice where Team Victory's sled was heading. "Baby seal!" Dakota warned. However, the waring came too late as Phoebe hit the baby seal, sending it flying into the water. "Did I hit that poor baby seal?" she gasped.
"Yep," Jo bluntly replied. "Fell right through a crack in the ice."
"We have to rescue him!"
"No need," Dakota assured Phoebe. "He's climbing back up."
"He is?" Jo questioned. Dakota gave her a hard nudge, and Jo started barking like a seal. "Oh, he's okay," Phoebe breathed out.
"Can we get moving now?" Jo pointed out.
"Yeah, sure thing." Phoebe pulled her sled forward, unaware that the seal had climbed back up and was growling at her.
Topher and Helga looked over the horizon and saw Team Chris's sled. "Looks like this is my ride," Topher noticed. "Sorry I can't stay any longer."
"It's okay," Helga sighed. "I will race you to finish."
"If it's alright with you, maybe there's enough time for one more 'accident'?" Helga thought about it a moment before getting a small smile. She and Topher leaned in for a kiss when her tongue got stuck to the flagpole. "What?" Helga muffled. She saw Topher hopped onto his team's sled and give a little wave. "Etot ublyudok!" she loudly cursed.
"Need a lift?" Gwen asked a blue-tinted Samey as Team Amazon's sled pulled up.
"Pl-pl-please," Samey shivered. "I'm just glad it's not- Oh, no." She noticed Lucas walking towards Team Amazon's sled. "Have room for another passenger?" he asked.
"Do we h-h-have to?" Samey asked.
"Samey, be nice!" Trent scolded. He turned to Lucas. "Sure, you can come."
"It wouldn't hurt," Gwen agreed.
"Muchas gracias," Lucas thanked as he got on the sled.
Team Chris's sled reached where Sol was. "About time," he told his teammates. "Let's get to that finish already. I'm getting famished."
"I heard that they're building the world's largest cake in Russia right now," Greg informed him.
"Really? What flavor cake?"
"Huh. I'm not really sure."
"Giddy-up, What's-His-Face!" Luna shouted to Sam.
"I am moving!" Sam told her as he tried to pull the sled, though he wasn't moving.
"No, you're miming," Sol informed him, "And we ain't nowhere near France right now."
"I'm guessing it's your shoes," Greg added. "Sneakers don't exactly have a lot of traction on icy terrain." Team Chris saw Team Amazon pass them.
Helga was still stuck to the pole when Chris drove by in a snowmobile. "Oh, dear," he began, "How did this happen?"
"I try to kiss that louse Topher," Helga muffled as her tongue was still stuck, "And pole got in way."
"This all sounds very heartfelt. I bet it would be an amazing song!" Ding-ding! "What?!" Helga gasped. Team Amazon's sled skid to a stop right by her. "Whoa!" Chris told them. "Hello, back-up singers!" They moaned at this. "I thought you forgot about that stupid musical challenge!" Echo complained.
"As if!" Chris laughed. "It's my favorite part!"
"Any day that Echo's unhappy is a good day, huh?" Lucas asked Samey.
"J-j-just start the music," Samey stuttered. Some rock music began as Helga looked around. "The strings of my heart are a tangled mess," Helga began.
"Ooh, mess," Gwen, Courtney and Echo chorused.
"It's beating so hard, it jumping out of my chest."
"Ooh, chest."
"I tried to fit two men into my soul."
"Ooh, soul."
"I ended up stuck to a pole!"
"She got stuck," Courtney, Echo and Gwen sang, "Should've ducked! Worst of luck! Stuck, stuck to a pole!"
"I fell for every little thing that he said," Helga continued.
"Ooh, said."
"And when I closed my eyes, he jumped onto sled."
"Ooh, sled."
"He moved on; I'm still stuck in this place."
"Ooh, place."
"Would somebody pour warm water down my face?!"
"She got stuck," Echo, Courtney and Gwen sang as they walked over to Helga, "Should've ducked! Worst of luck! Stuck, stuck to a pole!"
"Stuck, stuck, stuck to a pole!"
Team Amazon and Lucas finished, though Samey ended hers with a sneeze. Chris clapped his hands. "Very nice," he complimented.
"I mean it," Helga muffled. "Pour water onto face."
"I'd offer my thermos of coffee," Lucas said, "But a polar bear grabbed it."
"Amazons and intern, be gone," Chris ordered.
"Wait!" Helga begged as they all ran off. "Water! My face!"
"Wish I could," Chris shrugged as he held up a water bottle, "But I only have the one bottle. Sorry." Team Amazon and Lucas raced off on the sled. Chris drank out of the water bottle and then wiped his mouth. "Ahh," he sighed as he dropped it. Helga stretched herself to reach the bottle, but when she picked it up, the water was all gone. "Good luck," Chris told her.
"AHHHH!" Helga screamed at the top of her lungs, spooking some moose.
"What was that?" Greg wondered as he and most of Team Chris heard the scream.
"Probably just a moose call," Topher shrugged. "Nothing to worry about."
"Moosies!" Luna exclaimed as she hopped up and down, making the ice crack. "Moosey, moosey, moosey!" The ice finally broke, making Team Chris fall. Sam managed to grab onto the ledge and hold on. "Too...close," Greg breathed out as Team Chris and their sled dangled from Sam's harness.
Confessional: Sam (Team Chris Is Really Really Ghost Pepper Hot)
"I'm pretty skilled with my hands thanks to all my years of gaming. They've got high levels of strength and speed. Watch." He reached towards a mouse trap with a piece of cheese on it. "Come to Papa, cheesy." He grabbed the cheese without setting off the trap. "Ta-da!"

"I see the finish line!" Dakota exclaimed.
"Man, did we take the long way around," Jo noted. "Straight ahead, Wonder Wuss."
"I don't see any other sleds. We're gonna be first!" Team Victory cheered at this.
Most of Team Chris had gotten back on solid ground while Sam and Greg pulled the sled up the cliff. They tugged so hard that the sled went flying. "Yeah!" Topher, Sol and Luna cheered as they hopped on the sled. Sam and Greg were painully pulled along. The duo ended up snowballing. "Look out!" Sol warned but it came too late. The huge snowball crashed into the sled, and Team Chris rolled down the path. They crossed the finish line right after Team Victory, with Team Amazon finishing in last place. "We made it," Sam moaned as Team Chris got out of the snowball.
"That was so FUN!" Luna squealed. "Let's do it again!"
"Last place?!" Echo complained. "I can't believe I did all that work for nothing!"
"Actually," Chris corrected, "Team Victory crossed the finish line without Helga, so they come in last." The rest of Team Victory voiced their complaints. "Which means Team Amazon is in second place and Team Chris Is Really Really Ghost Pepper Hot takes first." Team Chris cheered with joy.
Confessional: Phoebe (Team Victory)
"Helga probably only messed up because I did get a curse in Egypt. I mean, a baby seal? Come on. The only way I'll believe I'm not cursed is if they don't vote me off. Like that's gonna happen."

Later, Team Victory was at the elimination ceremony, though Phoebe's eyes were still frozen shut and Helga's tongue was still stuck to a flagpole. "Victory," Chris began, "I have peanut-filled barf bags for the three who get to stay." He tossed two bags. "Dakota...and...Jo. So, it's down to Phoebe and Helga. Oh, Phoebe...health hazard to pandas, birds and now baby seals, which you could've avoided if you hadn't cried your eyes frozen shut and gotten your team lost." Phoebe teared up again. "It's almost as though you're, I don't know, cursed? Helga...reasons for you to take the plunge include making out with a pole...actually, that's it. Pole-kissing." Chef walked up to Chris. "If we're both here, who's flying the plane?"
"I have it covered," Chef assured him. A balloon Chef was sitting in the cockpit. "I repeat," a voice said, "Uncharted aircraft, this is a no-fly zone. Over. Hello?"
"The final barf bag goes to..." Chris announced. Phoebe and Helga looked on with concern. "..."

"...Phoebe."
"I'm not cursed!" Phoebe cheered as the last bag was tossed to her. "Oh, sorry, Helga." Helga walked to the door with the pole in her hands. "Helga, any final words before taking the Drop of Shame?" Chris asked her.
"Yes!" Helga shouted, though her voice was still muffled. "Topher EVIL! He lie about-"
"Oh, would you look at the time?" Chris shoved a parachute to Helga, making her fall out of the plane. She pulled the chord but the parachute was tangled up by the pole. "TOPHER!" she yelled out. "ON ZLOY! ZLO!" Chris and Team Victory watched her fall. "Hmm, looks like the chute got tangled," Chris noticed. "Guess we should've removed the pole, huh? Did not see that coming."
Confessional: Topher (Team Chris Is Really Really Ghost Pepper Hot)
"To think, I was scared of Helga back on the island. But I managed to turn the tables on her with a tactic that Alejandro would be envious of. And soon, one by one, they'll all go down."
Confessional: Sam (Team Chris Is Really Really Ghost Pepper Hot)
"I still can't believe I saved my team back there. Dakota even said my name would go dow in Total Drama history! How cool would that be? Whoo!"
End Confessional
Just then, Gwen opened the door to the confessional. "Oh, sorry," she apologized. "Um, what's your name again?" Sam gave a sad moan as Gwen walked out. "Will What's-His-Face ever get some recognition?" Chris narrated as he stepped into the confessional.
"My name's Sam!" Sam yelled out with frustration.
"Find out next time on Total...Drama...World Tour!"
Bonus clip:
Helga tried to catch her parachute but missed. "I can't believe I tried to kiss that scumbag!" she cried out as she tried to remove the pole off her tongue. "Rodney! Oh, no, what have I done?! Stupid pole! Stupid tongue! Stupid, stupid, stupid!" Down below in Moscow, there was a gathering by a huge cake. "Comrades," a man began, "It took two years, 200 bakers, and 2,000 tons of icing, but Russia is finally home to the world's largest cake!" Helga's screams cut through the gathering before she crash-landed in the huge cake, splattering it on everyone. "Mmm, vkusnyy shokolad," she gushed as she licked her lips. "Apologies about cake, but at least you know it tastes as well as it looks."
After a long wait, episode 4 is here! Helga is another early boot and another victim of Topher, sadly. I do plan to make some changes to how Team Victory was treated in canon, but it's still a work in progress.
Sol and the intern Lucas both tried to get closer to Samey, even though she gave them the cold shoulder. (And how she drove Sol away was pretty funny, wasn't it?) Echo's still her cruel self, and even Jo was appalled at her whipping Courtney. (Like her or not, there's no arguing that Jo's one of the more humane baddies compared to people like Scarlett, Mal and even Alejandro and Scott.)
The intern Lucas is an OC created by LaCuevademisgustos.
The next episode will take the teens flying towards the Big Apple to bob for apples. I wonder what kind? Red Delicious? McIntosh? Gala? Until next time, this is Dunsparce519 saying naslazhdaytes' i khoroshego dnya. (Russian for enjoy and have a good day. Hey, the bonus clip was in Moscow. It counts.)
