I'M BACK! Right let me tell you where I've been for the last… 5 months! Wow it's been a while. Of course, you guys know I stopped for a while so I could write Total Drama Aftershow well sadly due to personal reasons and my low writing ability I just couldn't do it and had let go of the project, this happened around late March. Then I had a load of exams happening at school and I reached a real low point in my mental health, because of this it's taken me this long just to write this episode. But I am back on top of this now I hope to get back to about one episode a week soon. Thank you so much for your patience and your support. Seeing you guys read these even though I haven't posted in forever is what motivated me to get back to it so thank you. Also, this wasn't planned but this is kind of a big episode to hopefully get you excited for the rest of the season.

Script for Episode 6 Balancing the Tension Party

Recap

Chris: Last time on Total Drama Mix it was all about teamwork or lack thereof ha ha harsh Lola, awesome but harsh. The challenge: an epic leech ball battle brought out everyone's inner psycho espically Jo's but thanks to Jo's other talent in lying it was Sierra who found herself in the toilet! Who will win this week could it be… (sarcastically) "the Wolves"?

Duncan: Hey we heard that.

Lindsay: It could still happen we're not losers!

Chris (laughs): Yeah right. Will the wolves live up to their name or will have to change their name to the Weak Wolves? Find out here on Total Drama Mix!

-End of Scene—

Wild Wolves Boys' Cabin

Cody is the lower bunk of one of the bunk beds and Duncan is at the end of the bed with a cup against the wall and his ear next to it.

Cody (yawns, sitting up in bed): Good morning Duncan!

Duncan: No, it's not. These walls are way too thick. SPEAK UP!

Cody: Well as long as Sierra's far far away I'm good. (Lays back down and closes eyes)

Duncan: Don't be so sure just because she ain't here doesn't mean your safe.

Cody opens his eyes looking scared.

-Start Confessionals—

Cody: Being on this team is pretty nerve racking plus with this losing streak you can't exactly too comfortable.

-End Scene—

Canteen

Zoey is in the canteen preparing for a party and Alejandro walks in.

Alejandro (bursting through the door): Morning!

Zoey: Hey, Alejandro.

Alejandro: What are you getting ready for?

Zoey: Courtney's surprise birthday party.

Alejandro (sighs): Can't wait for today to be over.

Zoey: Why?

Alejandro: Because we can then hopefully drop this whole birthday thing, she's been going on about it for the last week.

Zoey: Come on it's not that bad besides it's a pretty bad birthday on an island away from all her family and friends.

Alejandro: An island that if she stays on long enough wins an amount of money that neither you nor I could ever imagine. Sounds like a pretty good birthday if you ask me.

Heather walks in.

Heather: Hey guys.

Alejandro picks up a piece of popcorn from a bowl of it.

Zoey: Hey don't eat the snacks or they'll be none left.

Heather (angrily, places elbow on table): And must you chew so loudly.

Alejandro (sighs): Typical Heather! (Walks off screen).

-Start Confessionals—

Heather: Typical Heather! He calls that a comeback. It's like he's not even trying. It's like he's lost interest in me. No one has ever lost interest in me!

Alejandro: To get the upper hand I must throw Heather off her game. And so far, so blauno. Mai blauno.

-End Confessionals—

Now everyone is inside the canteen eating breakfast. Jo and Dunc are sitting next to each other.

Duncan (laughing): So, I climb over the wall, the cops running behind after being forced to ditch their cars…

Whilst Duncan is speaking his and Jo's hands fall, so they are holding each other's hand whilst resting on the table. No one takes any notice or bother towards this. Chris, Lola, and Harold walk into the canteen. The rest of the canteen goes quiet.

Chris: Alright, campers for those who don't know, this is Harold he appeared in seasons 1 through 3 and will be helping with today's challenge.

Zoey: Question: Where's Cameron, I haven't seen him all morning?

Mike: That reminds me he wasn't in the bedroom this morning getting ready I just assumed he was out for a walk.

Gwen (worried): Well, we need to find him… now!

Lola: Oh, I wouldn't I doubt he's in any actual danger.

Scott: (sounding a little worried) Well, it's worth at least looking (realising he slipped up, trying to play it cool) because… I still need to get revenge on him.

-End of Scene—

Ferocious Flamingos Boys Cabin

Mike bursts into find Cameron holding a bucket, pale and looking like he's about to throw up.

Mike (shocked): Oh my gosh you look horrible!

Cameron (coughing): I'm sick! I feel like butt!

Mike (backing up a little): Yeah you… you got that right.

Cameron (still coughing): Lola, gave me rancid chocolate.

Mike (confused): And why would she do that?

Cameron (quickly): Because she's trying to get rid of me!

Mike (thinking he's joking): Oh, come on.

Cameron (grabbing Mike's shirt whilst coughing): Look at the facts: She made me miss out on a helicopter ride, she watered my phone, and she gave me rancid foreign chocolate. She's out to get me. (Pushing Mike away)

Zoey, Gwen, and Lola walk in.

Zoey: Mike? You find him? (Seeing Cameron) Woah, Cam you look horrible!

Cameron: I've heard.

Lola (acting confused): Well, what happened?

Cameron (getting in her face): Like you don't know.

Gwen: Alright, that's it you ain't doing the challenge today.

Chris (from the loudspeakers): If you aren't at the top of the cliff in 5 minutes, you'll be in the toilet this evening.

Cameron: I'll be fine to do the… (he collapses to the floor coughing immensely)

Gwen: I'd rather you be off the show and know you got better.

Lola: You want me to take his place.

Cameron: That'll never work. Besides why you would wanna help me?

Lola: Because you're my friend.

-Start Confessionals—

Lola (sighs): Alright, he's Zoey's friend.

-End Confessionals—

Cameron: I can do it!

Zoey: You're too sick and that's the end of it.

Gwen: Thank you!

Mike: If you're gonna we gotta go now!

Zoey (to Cameron): I'll come to look after you once we're finished.

Zoey, Mike, Lola, and Gwen rush out the door.

-End of Scene—

Top of the Cliff

Zoey, Mike, Lola, and Gwen run to the top of cliff where the rest of the contestants, Chris and Harold are, panting once they arrive.

Chris (looking at a stopwatch): And you're here with 2 seconds to spare.

Alejandro: You find him?

Chris: Oh yeah, where's Cameron, I thought you found him?

Lola: He's sick. Can I take his place, so he doesn't get eliminated?

Chris (after thinking about it, sighs): Fine, but the next time this happens it'll be elimination no questions asked.

Mike: Thank you.

Alejandro: Is he ok?

Mike: He'll be fine, it's probably just a bad cold.

Chris: Alright campers todays challenge is a tightrope race around the island. The first team across the rope wins.

Heather (to the Wild Wolves): Bring it on fishies otherwise winning 5 in a row just won't be as satisfying.

Jo (to Heather): What makes you think you can win this?

Chris: Ferocious Flamingos as an advantage for winning the last challenge you will get a 1-minute head start.

All Ferocious Flamingos cheer. Chris walks over to reveal 2 tightropes both with ropes either side to hold onto them.

Chris (pointing to the lane on the left): Ferocious Flamingos this is your rope. (Pointing to the lane on the right) Wild Wolves this is your rope.

Both teams line up by their ropes.

Chris: Alright, the challenge begins in 3…2…1… GO! (Chris presses the airhorn and the Ferocious Flamingos set off).

-Start Confessionals—

Jo: Heather is right in a way the Flamingos have won so many challenges recently I'm wondering if it's even possible for us to win one… without me interfering of course!

Cody: I do have an idea of how we could lose.

-End Confessionals—

Chris (looking at his stopwatch): Alright Wolves you may start in 3…2…1… GO!

The Wolves set off. View changes to the Ferocious Flamingos.

Scott (looking down): Gosh this is high.

Izzy: It's not that bad I've been up way higher.

Owen: Why?

Gwen: Believe me Owen you don't wanna know.

Heather: I think we should let Izzy talk, who knows it might interesting.

Courtney (shocked): Excuse me!

Zoey (confused): Heather are you feeling, ok?

Owen: Maybe she caught something off Cameron?

Mike: No Cameron didn't have any behavioural changes.

Brick (barging to the front): eughf come on we're wasting time (screams).

Brick steps back and sees some parkour.

Lola: Please don't tell me we have to jump across those.

Alejandro: It seems to be the only way through.

Heather: Let's give it a shot what's the worst that could happen.

Gwen: You fall and die.

Alejandro (looking down): You wouldn't die from this height, the injuries you get could lead to your death, but you wouldn't die directly.

Heather: Wow, Alejandro you're so smart.

The Flamingos jump through the parkour struggling a little, but all make it. View changes to the Wild Wolves who have just reached the parkour.

Trent (seeing the parkour, gulps): Yep, I thought this seemed a little too safe for a challenge created by Chris.

Lightning (at the front of line): You all are making a big deal out of nothing it's just a few jumps.

Duncan: Well, if you're so good at it lets see you try then.

Lightning jumps across the parkour easy and looks back at Duncan smirking. Duncan rolls his eyes and the rest of the team follow him. View changes to Ferocious Flamingos and they reach wrecking ball alley.

Scott: Seriously, is Chris this unoriginal with coming up with new obstacles.

Chris (through the loudspeaker): Really! You try coming up with it it's harder than it looks.

Heather: I think it's actually very creative.

Chris (through the loudspeaker): Thank you Heather.

-Start Confessionals—

Gwen: Ok never thought I'd say this but I'm starting to get annoyed at how nice Heather's being.

-End Confessionals—

The Ferocious Flamingos start making their way across wrecking ball alley. Heather misses her step suddenly and falls. Alejandro catches her.

Heather (whilst being pulled up by Alejandro, smirking): I knew you still cared.

-Start Confessionals—

Heather: Now who's typical. Sucker! As if I'd caught something off Cameron. But as long as I keep him guessing I'll always have the upper hand.

Alejandro: How dare she trick me! I should've let her fall. (sighs) Stupido!

-End Confessionals—

The Ferocious Flamingos make it across the rest of wrecking ball alley. View switches to the Wild Wolves who are about halfway across Wrecking Ball Alley. Jo trying to show off jumps on one off the wrecking balls and tries to jump to the next one but falls and Duncan catches her.

Duncan (pulling Jo up): Woah, there clumsy.

They both smile at each other before realising what's going on and look away. The rest of the group chuckle at this. The Wild Wolves make it across the rest of wrecking ball alley. The Wild Wolves reach the next obstacle where Chef is standing on a platform with a tennis ball gun in hand.

Leshawna: Oh man, seriously is Chris trying to kill us?... wait a second, Chris does this every challenge why I am surprised.

Chef hatchet: Valid point you got there. (Shoots tennis ball at Leshawna).

Chef Hatchet continue to shoot tennis balls at the rest of the contestants but misses. After a while Chef Hatchet tries to shoot at Cody but just about misses, Cody makes it look like the tennis ball hit him and falls down but manages to hang on to cliff face.

Lindsay (worried): Hang on Cody, we'll get you back up, just hang on.

Duncan: We don't got time for that, he's dead weight he'll be better off eliminated.

Cody: Don't worry you guys go ahead I'll catch you up.

-Start Confessionals—

Cody: I've been taking rock climbing classes since I was since 6 so I've got great strength when it comes to hanging onto things.

-End Confessionals—

Leshawna: No, we ain't leaving you behind it won't benefit us in anyway.

Trent: Exactly, plus I've got an idea. Has anyone got something sharp?

Duncan: I've got my knife. But why do you want that?

Trent: Why do you have a knife on you?... Wait, I don't wanna know. Just give me it.

Duncan: Don't you dare lose this or you'll regret it. (Passes Trent the knife).

Trent cuts off a section of one of the ropes on the side.

Lindsay: Good idea Trent!

Trent: Thanks, hey Cody! Catch (Throws one end of the rope down to Cody).

Cody catches the rope. Trent and everyone else on the team hold onto the other end and pull him up. The Wolves continue walking across the tightrope and manage to catch up to Owen who is a little behind the Flamingos, none of them have noticed, standing in front of a spinning log.

Noah (seeing Owen): Hey buddy, shouldn't you be with the rest of the team.

Owen: It's fine I'll catch up.

Jo (after smirking): You guys go ahead I've got an idea on how I could help Owen.

Owen: Really! That'd be great Jo.

Duncan: Since when did you play fair?

Trent: Finally, something we can agree on. This is a challenge Jo, if you help Owen it could result in your elimination.

Jo: I'll be fine; besides, I won't be that far behind.

Leshawna: Alright then.

The rest of the Wild Wolves walk off screen onto the spinning log. Jo waits until they're out of ear shot.

Owen: So? What's your plan?

Jo: This!

Jo takes her hands off the side of the rope and pushes Owen over the side of his rope, so he falls onto ledge.

Jo (laughing evilly): See ya at the elimination ceremony!

Jo makes her way across the spinning log and catches up with the rest of the team.

Jo (to the Werewolves): Told you I'd catch up.

View changes to the Ferocious Flamingos who have just reached the finish line. Chris and Harold are there.

Heather: Yes! I can't wait to stick this in Jo's face.

Chris: Sorry the win doesn't count until all the contestants have reached the finish line.

Izzy: Huh?

Alejandro (realising Owen's missing): Owen! (Sighs, angry) You never said that you're making up the rules as we go.

Chris: And this surprises you because?

Alejandro: Fine! (sarcastically) Allow me to search for our beloved teammate.

Alejandro walks off screen back onto the tightrope.

Zoey: What are we supposed to do then?

Chris: I guess wait and hope the other team doesn't get here before Owen and Alejandro do.

Jo (from off screen): No need to wait and hope!

The camera zooms over to where the Wolves are standing next to the tightrope.

Chris (walking over to the Wolves with Harold): Congratulations Wolves you win todays challenge and have won immunity.

The Werewolves cheer. Jo smirks at Heather and Heather rolls her eyes.

Chris: Also, as a constellation prize you get Harold on your team for the rest of the game or until he's eliminated, a sick twist!

Harold: What? You can't make me compete!

Chris (laughing): Yes, I can. (Pulls out some sheets of paper) Contracts remember.

Harold sighs and crosses his arms.

-End Scene—

Canteen

Courtney walks in and is the only one in there.

-Start Confessionals—

Courtney: (sighs) Today is actually my birthday, but it seems like everyone forgot.

-End Confessionals—

Mike walks in.

Courtney (trying to seem happy): Hey Mike.

Mike (surprised): Oh hey, Courtney.

-Start Confessionals—

Mike: Courtney cannot be in here it will ruin the whole party surprise. I need to get her out of here and fast.

-End Confessionals—

Mike: Courtney, I heard everyone else was up at the craft centre and I came to find you.

Courtney: Oh, right cool.

Mike: You go ahead I just gotta grab something quickly.

Courtney leaves. Just as Courtney leaves the rest of the contestants burst in from the kitchen and start setting up the party. They hide under the table just as Courtney walks back in.

Courtney: No one was at the… (realising the party decorations). Mike?

All the contestants burst out from under table.

Everyone except Courtney: Surprise, Happy Birthday Courtney.

Courtney screams and her and Zoey hug.

Courtney: You guys didn't have to make a big fuss over my birthday.

Heather: You want us to leave?

Courtney: What? No! Fuss on.

Zoey: And we have all sworn on the civil code.

Courtney: Really, everyone.

Zoey (proud): Even Scott.

Scott (angry): I am not proud of it.

The scene cuts to everyone dancing in the canteen. Mike stands up on one of the benches.

Mike: Ok everybody, everybody listen. Listen up. (The rest of the contestants go silent). The time has come for whoever wants to say some words about the birthday girl. Zoey you wanna go first?

Zoey: Sure.

Courtney walks up and sits on the bench Mike is standing on. Zoey and Mike switch places.

Zoey: Hey everybody. Courtney first happy birthday, you're one of the funniest people I've ever met. Courtney you're smart, fun, and awesome and you're the only girl I know who can easily pull a lamppost out of the ground. Jo you're up.

Zoey and Jo swap places.

Jo: Alright, I gotta few words to say about Courtney.

Courtney (angry: Better watch it joke.

Jo: I just wanna say Courtney even though we're on opposite teams I still consider you one of the best people I've met whilst on this island.

Courtney: Yeah, I'm not falling for that.

Jo: Well, it was worth a shot. Courtney you're funny, you're cool and you're the only girl I've ever met who can destroy a room better in under a minute. So happy birthday you crazy psychopath. Mike you're turn get up here.

Jo and Mike swap places.

Mike: Courtney, you're one of the few people that actually scare everyone up here (points at his head).

View changes so now Izzy is where Mike was standing.

Izzy: So, Courtney grabs onto the vine and starts swinging with me and then beats me up whilst we're still swinging.

View changes so now Scott is where Izzy was standing.

Scott: And even though I haven't known Courtney for too long. I know that if I ever get in a fight and have either a football team or Courtney back me up. I'm going with Courtney. You are one bad dude.

View changes back to everyone dancing.

Courtney is sitting by a table by herself watching everyone. Gwen comes on screen and stands beside a chair opposite Courtney.

Gwen: Hey, I was wondering if I could talk to you.

Courtney (sighs, clearly doesn't want to): Ok, why not?

Gwen sits down.

Gwen: I've been doing a lot of thinking about the whole Duncan thing, honestly, I just wanted to say.

Courtney: You don't gotta say it.

Gwen: No, I need to say it.

Courtney: Oh no no no you really don't.

Gwen: No, I'm gonna say it.

Courtney: It's not necessary to say it.

Gwen: Yes, it is. Girl, I'm saying it.

Courtney: Don't you dare say it.

Gwen: I'm saying it.

Courtney: Do not say it.

Gwen: 3…2…1! I'm sorry!

Courtney: What took you so long?

Gwen and Courtney fist bump.

Gwen: I miss you girl.

Courtney: Yeah, I miss you too.

View changes to where Leshawna is dancing and Heather walks over to her.

Heather: I saw you with Gwen the other night. Look I'm gonna give you one last chance or you ain't gonna like the result. Clear? Good!

Heather walks off screen.

Leshawna (whilst Heather is walking off): Like I'm scared of you.

View changes the party has now ended and Zoey and Cameron are in the canteen. Cameron and Zoey are sitting on one of the benches. Cameron is holding a bowl of soup.

Zoey: Why were you so mean to Lola earlier?

Cameron: Because she is trying to get rid of me!

Zoey: No, she isn't she really like you. She saved you from elimination today. You're just being paranoid. What evidence do you have?

Cameron passes Zoey the empty chocolate box Lola gave him.

Cameron: Read the expiration date.

Zoey: I can't read this it's in… another language.

Cameron: It's Japanese it says 1872. Those chocolates are older than everyone on this island combined.

Zoey: I'm sure it was just an accident.

Cameron: Yeah, Lola getting me sick, so I'd miss out on Courtney's birthday and the challenge so I am now super unuseful was an accident was it.

Zoey: Alright, that it (stands up and pulls Cameron up with her). We are going to go and see Lola and sort this out.

Cameron: Eughf I don't wanna.

Zoey: Well too bad.

-End Scene—

Elimination Ceremony

The Flamingos are sitting on the logs with the Werewolves in the peanut gallery. Chris and Chef walk on screen. Chris is holding a plate of marshmallows.

Chris: Alright, Flamingos for the first time in a while one of you are going home. The following people are safe (when Chris says each name, he throws that contestant a marshmallow): Mike, Scott Courtney, Brick, Izzy, Gwen, Cameron, Heather, and Zoey. Owen and Alejandro one of you is going home, the final marshmallow goes to:

Alejandro. Owen you're out!

-End Scene—

Flush of Shame (TW: Mentions of Tr*um* and D.I.D in Scene)

Mike is walking along the dock and Alejandro starts walking belong side him.

Alejandro: So, you actually have other people living in your head. What are you crazy?

Mike: No, I have just have a lot of trauma and this is how my body copes with it.

Alejandro: Still pretty creepy honestly can't blame Scott for what he did to you.

Mike blocks Alejandro.

-Start Confessionals—

Mike: Ok if there's anything that I learnt last season it's to stand up for myself.

-End Confessionals—

Mike: Ok, that's actually really offensive. D.I.D might seem a little… different to you but it's a completely healthy coping mechanism. You narrowly escaped elimination back there, I wouldn't get cocky if I were you.

View changes to the Flush of Shame which Owen is in.

Chris: Owen, any last words?

Owen: Yes, everyone listen carefully you must not trust… (Owen is flushed down the toilet).

Chris (laughs): Who should no one trust? What will become of Cameron and Lola? And who will win between Leshawna and Heather? Find out next time on Total Drama Mix!
