Let's continue the special. Thans for reviewing, Gage the Hedgehog, Silver Writer 0927, EmEm811, SuperKitty4789 and GamehunterMC.
"Attention, campers!" Chris' voice blared through the speakers. "The case is wet! Repeat, the case is wet!"
"Head for the beach!" I called to my team. But of course, Izzy stayed in the treetops, and ended up falling onto the shore, on top of...Courtney. We'd heard her ditching Duncan after he twisted his ankle, but we'd been too busy catching up with Izzy to dwell on it.
But this time, it was a good thing. After Courtney went down, the case just fell into Izzy's hands. "Wow, that was good luck! Except for her head." Eva and I followed her quickly.
Noah slowly passed Duncan, though. "So, your girlfriend turned on you, huh? Hate to see that happen. Bet you feel like a loser about now, huh? Less of a man."
"Enough of a man to take your head off, geek!" Duncan threatened, and soon, Noah was running with the rest of us, screaming more like a little girl than us girls did.
"Noah, hurry up!" Eva called.
"Hey, get back here!" Courtney screeched after us. "No one is stealing the money that I stole!"
So how come we managed to lose her?
"You run like a girl." Eva commented to Noah.
"Forgot my 'roids back at the gym." he deadpanned.
"I'm thinking of changing my name." Izzy remarked. "Yeah – to Kaleidoscope. Isn't that pretty? You could call me E-Scope for short."
"Sounds like an interesting name, E-Scope." I chuckled. "Personally, I'd stick to my given name."
Suddenly, we skidded to a stop. Justin was just...standing there.
"Watch it!" Eva warned. "It's a trap!"
"Justin. The anti-me." Noah said evenly. "So we meet again."
Izzy gasped. "Whatever you guys do, don't look him in the eyes! He has powers!"
"Give me the case." Justin said calmly.
"Are you kidding us!" I scowled, not looking at him properly.
"Back off, really hot guy!" Izzy shouted.
Justin raised an eyebrow as he spoke. "I didn't want to have to do this, but you leave me no choice..." This time, I couldn't take my eyes off him as he took his shirt off. But it didn't matter if I couldn't. Izzy was the one holding the case.
"Izzy, don't fall for it!" Noah cried. "Look away!"
"I can't!" Izzy gasped. "He's too beautiful!"
I stared at Justin, drinking in his appearance. He was too perfect to believe it. I'd always called him a Ken doll before, but no Ken could be that perfect.
Izzy handed over the case as I voiced my agreement with Izzy. "Let him have it...he's just so amazing..."
"He's so pretty..." Eva added dreamily. "He deserves this..."
"Thank you." Justin said, flashing us his perfect smile, then walking away.
Five seconds later, we all snapped out of it. "What happened? Where's the case?" Izzy shrieked.
"You just handed it to a male model." Noah told her. He scowled at Eva and I. "And a lot of good you two were."
I hung my head. "I can't believe I let him do that."
"I'm so ashamed." Eva groaned.
"Me too." I agreed.
"You two should be." Noah told us. "Iron Woman and Moody Goth Girl – that was seriously pathetic." There was no denying he was right, although I didn't appreciate what he'd called me.
"Yeah – save us the insults and don't call me that again." I snapped. "Even 'Stephie' when it doesn't come from a certain guy friend of mine is better than that. But save your remarks for that sneaky model, Noah-it-all. He's the one who deserves them." I couldn't help sneaking in my pun on our smart guy.
"Attention, campers!" Chris called from the speakers. "The case is now somewhere beautiful...and headed towards camp!"
Izzy spoke up. "E-Scope is not going to let him get away with this, no matter how hot he is! Come on!"
"Yeah, we'll crush his skull!" Eva roared.
"A little too far." Noah told her.
"Sorry."
"What about grabbing the case and hitting him over the head with it before taking it to the dock?" I suggested.
Eva gave an unsettling grin. "Sounds like something I would do."
Izzy brought us to the fish cabin, where she found some of the stuff from the paintball hunting challenge. She made us all wear orange glasses, and put antlers on Eva and I, with camoflage caps on herself and Noah.
"Remind me why we're getting dressed up again?" Noah asked.
"I feel kind of dumb." Eva muttered.
"Can I at least have a cap and not antlers?" I complained.
"No!" Izzy responded. "We're doing this because that way, he won't see us coming! Now remember, the minute you have that pretty boy Justin in your sight, fire at will!" She tossed each of us a bucket. "And then, take the case back! Have you got that?"
The three of us saluted. "Yes, Sergeant E-Scope!"
The first thing we saw was Katie, Sadie, Bridgette and Geoff running from a moose.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat!" screeched Izzy.
"Look up!" I pointed. There was a hot air balloon, the basket holding the four-guy alliance of Owen, DJ, Cody and Tyler, and Courtney. And they had the case.
"Justin doesn't have the case!" I hissed. "Should we keep going, Sargeant E-Scope?"
Izzy was adamant that we go for Justin, even when it was clear that Courtney had it.
Next, Lindsay got hold of it, but guess what? Justin appeared out of nowhere, asked Lindsay for the case, and she gave it back to him.
"Not so fast, pretty boy!" Izzy cried. "FIRE!" Eva, Noah and I were on the bathroom roof, so we tipped our buckets of water on Justin, and he started to scream.
"Try this!" Izzy dumped a bucket of bait over his head and took the case. "I'm a zillionairess! All right! Yeah!"
Noah and Eva didn't get off the roof as fast as I did, but I ended up in the water like fourteen others, including Izzy. But whether in the water or not, all of us saw a shark eat the case.
"So, you lost the case." Chris stated to me and the other competitors in the water – Duncan, Gwen, Izzy, Leshawna, Trent, Owen, Heather, Harold, Lindsay, Beth, Bridgette, Geoff, Justin and and DJ. "Way to go. I didn't wanna do this, but since none of the fifteen of you officially won, you all officially tied." He began to grin. "Which means that you will have another shot at winning the million dollars!" They all cheered. "In Season Two!"
Okay, that wasn't fun. None of us wanted to compete again, nor did we agree to it.
"Actually, you did." Chris told us. "It's called the fine print. Read it, live it, love it!"
"I HATE the fine print!" Gwen snapped.
The rest of the competitors were told that they'd watch from the sidelines, although Courtney was furious, saying she wanted another chance.
"But Chris, what about my contract?" I protested. "Aren't the rules different for non-Canadians?"
Chris' grin didn't waver. "Oh yeah." He snickered. "But you're still competing, Steph. Check the fine print – you still have to compete – just...you still have to do schoolwork, and you get homework sent on from your school for the next six weeks!"
I gasped. Gwen gave me a sympathetic glance. Chris went on to let us know that we would be taken to a new location in two days. The show would be in an abandoned film lot, and called Total Drama Action.
That night, while everyone else got a chance to go home, I was stuck at Playa Des Losers on my own. It was no fun without everyone else, but hey, at least I got a chance to hang in the hot tub without Bridgette and Geoff monopolizing it!
Yep! I haven't written TDA properly, so...I lied. I'm doing the next season with Stephanie. Also, I really want to put Stephanie on the Killer Grips, even though all of her closest friends are Gaffers. Thoughts?
