Sammy's Successful Shift
Chapter 7- Break-Your-Back Mountain
Chris: Last time on Total Drama Pahkitew Island.
Chris: We had some, uh, Technical difficulties.
Chris: Then someone - Clearly not me - Accidentally activated the island's automated self-destruct sequence.
Chris: We had an hour to shut down the main computer or the island would blow, killing everyone who wasn't aboard a fancy helicopter.
Chris: Scarlett made it to the control room with loads of time. But went loco - Big time - And demanded the million bucks or bye-bye island.
Chris: With the help of an exceedingly handsome chris-bot, the teens gently subdued Scarlett and very carefully shut down the main computer. I then cashed in some of my cannon miles so that Scarlett could travel in a special trip to some madhouse.
Chris: Today five will become four and soon we will see who will go kabloom… Or should I say whom? Whom cares. Let's start the show, It's Total Drama Pahkitew Island.
-INTRO-
The sun started rising over Pahkitew Island. It's been an entire day since they dealt with Scarlett and the near self-destruction of the island. The fire disappeared and now only some scorched áreas remained. While the snow side has melted on its majority, helped by some interns using hair dryers to defrost blocks of ice. Including one that had the Sasquachwanakwa inside.
The robotic birds flew and started chirping over the treehouse of team Maskwak. Now belonging to all remaining 5 contestants, Sky was sleeping on the girl's side of the cannon, when suddenly she heard some… crunching? She woke up and saw Sugar leaning on the door eating-
Sky: Is that a... Cabbage?
Effectively, the pageant queen was eating an entire cabbage.
Sugar: Momma needs some roughage. Nuff said, or do you want all the hard, dark, corn-riddled details?
Sky: No. Nope. I'm good. Have you seen Sammy, Jasmine or Topher?
Sugar: Pretty boy is sleeping over the other side. And the girls went early to search for food and walk. So they're probably somewhere slaughtering goats or something.
-confesional-
Sky: Slaughtering goats? Really? Sugar sure has a strange sense of life. Ugh. But if I want to win the million dollars, I'm gonna have to consider an alliance with her. How bad can it be?
-end of confessional-
Sugar bent down and seemed to be struggling.
Sugar: Nothing..How many cabbages does a girl gotta eat to host her own elimination ceremony?!
The athlete had to contain her urges to puke.
Sky: Uh... Sugar, I was thinking we-
Sugar: What're you blabbering about?
Sky: Um... No. Nothing.
Sugar: You want to form an alliance.
Sky: Yeah. How'd you know?
Sugar: It's butt and brain food. Okay, I'll team up with ya, but if you're playing with Sugar, You gotta be willing to get dirty.
Sky: No cheating.
The Cree jumped down from the bed.
Sky: A dishonest win isn't a win. We play fair or forget it. It's the only way either of us will get a shot at the million dollars. Your call.
Sugar though about it a bit
Sugar: Fine, I promise.
-confesional-
Sugar: I was totally lying.
Sky: Usually, I don't rely on others to help me win. But with Jasmine and Sammy being strong as iron together. I think the best thing I can do is team up with Sugar. And maybe Topher… although he wasn't on the boy's side. Where was he? And where's Amy?
-end of confessional-
The cheerleader with a mole was walking through the woods with a paper on her hand.
Amy: Okey Topher, I got your note, what do you want to… talk?
She saw Topher sitting along on a tablecloth, with a picnic basket and some food.
Topher: I'm glad you came. H-here, sit.
Topher grabbed her hand and let her sit close to him.
Amy: Wow. So… you did all of this on your own?... For me?
Topher: Well, yeah… I've been thinking about you a lot these days and… after what happened yesterday… I-I think i want you to be more than my… alliance partner.
Amy was flabbergasted. Did Topher really SEE her like that?
Amy: Topher… I… I think Chris said I had to do- something by-... Uh. I'll have to-
The cheerleader ended up running away, leaving the host wannabe stunned.
-confesional-
Topher: That wasn't supposed to turn out like that. Normally, the girls love when you make stuff like this. I said Nice words and all. What did I do wrong? What?
Chris (speaker): Maybe You're not as smooth as you think.
Chris laughed while the wannabe crossed his arms annoyed.
Amy: D-did Topher really meant that? I… I don't even know how to react-. Most of the guys I've met only went behind me for my looks, but he's… NO. I- i can let something like love distract me. Topher is just my partner. That's all.
-end of confessional-
Jasmine and Sammy were walking on another area of the wood while collecting some berries.
Jasmine: Well, This Island may be fake. But at least the fruits it gives are still delicious.
Sammy had a more sad look on her face
Sammy: Yeah. At least there's a couple of real stuff left among so many fakenes.
Jasmine noticed her tone and watched her concern.
Jasmine: I miss him too, you know?
Sammy: I know. It's just… I can't believe Sky did that. We're getting along so well, and then she goes and votes Shawn behind our back? She lost Dave two days ago, I thought she may know better than voting someone who's a friend.
Jasmine: She's here to win Samey. Everyone, it's-
Sammy: I'M SAMMY.
Jasmine stepped back a bit surprised. The cheerleader sighed and curled on the floor.
Sammy: Im-sorry Jasmine. I'm just-
The Australian girl placed her hand on her shoulder.
Jasmine: Hey. Don't worry, you are stressed, and i… haven't been the best of friends these past couple of days Sammy. I let that my stupid rage against Shawn make me lose control and didn't take as much care of you… while you and Shawn took care of me.
The cheerleader sobbed a bit.
Sammy: I'm so sick of this game.
Jasmine: Don't worry, there's not much left and we can win this.
Sammy: How?
Jasmine: Easy, we obviously aren't going to vote each other off, and Chris tends to make the last couple of challenges a sudden death kind. So we make sure we aren't the last ones to save us, that makes sure either Sugar, Topher or Sky Will go home. And then it's 2 and 2, but we have a bond and they don't. So it's guaranteed we'll be facing each other in the finale
Sammy: Uh-huh. And when that happens?
Jasmine: We play for keeps, then split the money regardless of who wins. I have my dreams, but I wouldn't rob you or Shawn of your own.
Sammy: Really? You really would give a part of the money… to me?
Jasmine: You're My best friend Sammy. If there's anyone else with whom I'll share my prize besides Shawn, it's you. Now drop that sad platypus face.
The cheerleader earned a more optimistic smile and laughed a bit at the "platypus" line.
Jasmine: That's better mate. Pomegranate?
Sammy: Sure.
-confesional-
Jasmine I'm happy I was able to cheer Sammy up, poor wombat been having a hard couple of days. And her sister staying around certainly didn't make things much better, but I'm sure we can do this and split the million with Shawn. All we have to do is get to the end and avoid that dreadful cannon.
-end of confessional-
Sammy: I'm going to wash my face on the river.
Jasmine: You want me to go with you?
Sammy: Nah, I'll be fine.
Sammy walked a bit until she got into the river and started to wash her face, then she saw how a bush moved.
Sammy: oh oh.
And the Orange cat-bot jumped out.
Cat-bot: meow.
Sammy emitted a muffled yelp and her face immediately turned sorrow.
Sammy: oh, h-hey little one.
The cat moved his head a bit looking at Sammy, he seemed friendly. The cheerleader grabbed a couple of the berries of her bag.
Sammy: Here… are you hungry?
The cat approached her. But suddenly the feedback from the speaker squealed and made everyone cover their ears, and the cat runned away.
Sammy: NO wait… don't go.
Chris: Sorry. Sorry about that. Seems like every time i press this button it...
The feedback happen again.
Chris: Yep. It's definitely this button. Anyway, time to join me at the base of mount Mclean. I just named the mountain, I named it after me, you know, Mclean, 'Cause I'm awesome.
Amy: More like, egocentric.
Chris: I heard that intern, keep working. Anyway... Just get over here, pronto.
Sammy watched over the direction the cat ran away and sighed.
Sammy: I'm… sorry.
The cheerleader wiped away a tear from her cheek and started to slowly walk towards the mountain. Momentos later, the 5 contestants were in front of Chris at the base of the extremely high mountain.
Chris: Congratulations. You should be very proud of yourselves for making it to the final five.
The contestants smiled.
Chris: Proud and utterly terrified of what awaits you.
Sammy: Is the island going to try to kill us again?
Chris: Nope. The island is now completely offline. Thanks to one person whose name I never want to hear again.
Sugar ( whispers into Sky ear): He's talkin' 'bout Scarlett.
Chris: Ah-hem.
Sugar quickly went back to her original position.
Chris: Okay. Today's challenge is called Mount ever-fast. Which is like mount everest, only this mountain was modeled after one in...
Some loud chewing sounds interrupted him, and they all saw Sugar eating a cabbage again.
Chris: Why are you eating cabbage?
Sugar: My colon's more cramped than a city bus during a rush-hour snowstorm.
To prove a point, her stomach rumbled, making everyone take a step to the side.
Sugar: The wheels are spinnin'... But it ain't movin'.
Chris: Ugh. Okay, my fault for asking. Now the rules are simple, in the top of mount mclean is a flag.
The camera showed said flag.
Chris: The first one to capture the flag wins immunity and gets to feed on a fabulous take-out dinner. The last one to make it to the top gets fed to the cannon. Chef?
The cook throwed 5 bags and helmets to the contestants.
Everyone (but Sugar): But what if we- are we allowed to- is there a way we can-
Chris' air horn silenced them.
Chris: GO.
All 5 contestants started to run up the hill, while Chris took a seat under an umbrella.
Chris: This is going to sound crazy, but I kind of miss that wizard kid… "¡Force field!"
Both laughed a bit, then silence formed until Chris took a controller from his pockets.
Chris: Okay, time to make their lives miserable.
The host pressed the red button and a box emerged from the ground, while some whirring and slamming sounds echoed from inside. Meanwhile, all contestants were running up the hill, Jasmine and Sammy took the lead, whit Sky and Sugar behind. And finally Topher last.
Sky: Sugar, keep moving. We're a team so you've gotta keep up.
Sugar: Sky, sometimes... (Wheezes) you gotta stop... (Gasps) and, um, smell the flowers.
The pageant queen did that same action with some flowers that we're conveniently in the side of the mountain.
Sky: After we win.
Sky saw Topher stop by the wall.
Sky: Topher wait.
Topher: What?
Sky: Ok, we need to keep going so i'll make it quick. You, me, Sugar, team up. Are You in?
Topher: Uhhh.
-confesional-
Topher: Obviously having an alliance like this is a good idea, the problem is, Sky is a great athlete and Sugar is more dangerous than what she looks. So it's a risky move, but at the same time, going against Jasmine and Samey alone it's twice as dangerous.
-end of confessional-
Topher: Sure, I'm in.
Sky: Awesome, Now let's move on and stay close. Knowing Chris, there are boobytraps all over this mountain.
Sugar chuckled and hugged them both by the hip.
Sugar: Oh, She said booby traps.
Topher: Just... C'mon.
-confesional-
Sky: When I win the million dollars. I'll hire the best olympic trainers in the world and win gold in every event at the summer and winter olympics. So even if I have to carry Sugar or Topher all the way to the top, I am getting that flag.
Topher: On second tough, maybe i should just formed an alliance with Sky.
Sugar was laughing
-end of confessional-
Sky: C'mon, Sugar, you gotta be kidding me.
Topher: Yeah, help us out a little here.
Sugar: What? I am helping. I'm keeping my eyes out just like you said. Like those things right there.
The olympian and the host wannabe turned around and saw 5 robotic crocodiles aggressively running towards them.
Topher: RUN
Suddenly sugar pushed them down as she jumped over.
Sugar: All right.
Topher and Sky groaned, but quickly started to run behind her. Until the three were standing on some rocks to avoid the robotic reptiles.
Sugar: Stay back, you filthy dinosaurs.
A screen appeared from the side of the mountain.
Chris: Actually, they're filthy crocodiles to be exact. Killer crocs, if I were you, I'd get moving.
Sky and Sugar jumped and grabbed the monitor to avoid one of the crocs' bite.
Topher: These Crocs are getting real bitty. Where's Ezekiel with a stick when you need him?
A bleating catched everyone's eye, and they turned to see a little goat (more likely, another robot) eating the flowers. The goat noticed the crocodiles and started to run away followed closely by the mechanical reptiles.
Chris: What? They're leaving?! I mean… Whoo. Close call. I am so glad you three are-
The girl's weight (mostly Sugar) Made the monitor break on one side, and finally fall down. Making the still "relaxed" Chris get angry.
Chris: Hey. How dare they break my equipment. Do you know how much I had to pay for that monitor? Twenty bucks.
Chef rolled his eyes while he worked on some snacks for them. Topher jumped down the rocks and helped Sky.
Sky: Ugh. That was a hard landing, wasn't it, sugar? Sugar?
The duo turned around and saw the pageant queen with half of her body buried on the floor, while her legs stickers out.
Topher: Oh, that's bad.
Sky: Hang on Sugar.
Both of them grabbed her legs and started to pull her out, until they managed it, Sugar spitted some dirt and rubbed her reddened nose.
Sky: Your nose.
-confesional-
Sugar: My nose hasn't bled like this since I tried cow tipping at uncle elliott's farm.
A recording of Sugar sneaking behind a cow, and accidentally stepping on a rake which caused it to hit her in the face is shown. The cow simply mooed.
-end of confessional-
Meanwhile, the team of Jasmine and Sammy were much ahead of the others.
Sammy: So, that's what you're gonna do with the million bucks if you win?
Jasmine: It's always been my dream to have my own business, a flower shop and cage fighting school, Called "roses are red, bruises are blue".
Sammy: Well…. That's a first.
Jasmine: Is there anything Bad?
Sammy: NO NO, Nothing, it's your dream and that's perfectly fine… it's just that a Cage fighting school and flower shop it's quite the combination when you think about it in cold mate
Jasmine chuckled due to her bad Australian accent.
Jasmine: Well, weirder stuff has happened here.
Sammy: Oh so true.
What neither knew, was that Amy was seeing them through a tablet from way ahead of the mountain.
-confesional-
Amy: Could she have a worse plan for the money? Whatever, Chris wanted me to act like a sentinel and activate some traps for the ones ahead, so this is my best chance of stopping Samey.
-end of confessional-
The duo of friends runned until they had to stop in front of a section of the mountain that suddenly had the road broken and various rock pillars were the only way of crossing a big fall.
Sammy: Now what?
A tv screen appeared, revealing Chris.
Chris: Now you hop from one hoodoo to the next until you make it across. There's a trick to it so listen up, this is important.
Both girls watched him
Chris: Don't fall - to - your - death.
The host laughed while Jasmine and Sammy just glared at him.
Jasmine: Or we could use our gear to climb down, and then back up the other side.
Sammy: Ha. Didn't think that trough didn't ya?
Chris: Hey, You can try if you think you have enough time before the crocodiles arrive.
Both: What?
The snarling of the reptiles Made them turn around and see the robotic reptiles approaching.
Sammy: Crap.
-confesional-
Sammy: One time we went to the city zoo, the guy who was in charge of feeding the animals misstepped and got attacked by the crocodiles, he lost half of his arm and was lucky he didn't have his leg cut. I've had a bit of fear of crocs ever since. They're not my biggest fear, but definitely in the top 3.
Jasmine: I'm not really scared of crocs. They're pretty much Australia's version of the domestic house cat. Only with somewhat bigger teeth, and some say a slightly more lethal death roll.
The tall girl chuckled
Jasmine: But they haven't met my whiskers.
A recording of Jasmine room, where a dark purple fur cat was sleeping on her bed was shown.
Jasmine: Whiskers, time for your bath.
Whiskers hisse and jumped towards the camera and it suddenly went to static.
Jasmine: Ow! Ow! Whiskers! Ooh!
When the image came back, whiskers was licking her paw, while the room was full of scratches.
Jasmine: Okay... Another time then.
Whiskers meowed.
-end of confessional-
The crocodiles keep slowly creeping towards the girls
Chris: You might wanna make a decision with the whole "Avoiding the crocs" thing. Tick tock.
Shawn: No time… too high… Can't repel. Killer crocs. We're gonna GET EATEN.
Sammy started to hyperventilate.
Jasmine: Sammy. SAMMY snap back.
Sammy: They're over me, THEY'RE OVER ME.
Chris: incredible. She's actually hallucinating from terror. I thought that only happened with drugs, Hilarious.
Jasmine: Sammy, c'mon. We've gotta go now.
The snarls of the crocodiles Made Jasmine get more worried.
Chris: Well, our final five may be no more. Will it be a double elimination ceremony? aka funeral? Find out next on Total. Dr. Pahkitew island.
-commercial break-
The crocodiles snap their jaws as they got even closer. Jasmine saw the still rambling Sammy and knew it all fell on her hands for the moment.
Jasmine: Sammy, I need you to react, I can't carry you on my back.
Sammy: B-but those croc-croc-croc…
Jasmine: We'll be fine. Just trust me.
-confesional-
Jasmine: I know I said I'm not scared of crocs. But knowing Chris there's probably tigers inside those crocs. And sharks inside the tigers. And you'd be crazy not to be scared of a shark dressed like a tiger, dressed like a croc.
Chris: mmmm, wonder if that's posi-
Chef: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
-end of confessional-
Jasmine: We have to jump from hoodoo to hoodoo. It's just one tiny hop after another.
Sammy: I don't know if I can-
Jasmine: You can do it. You're amazing. Stop doubting and tap into that potential.
Sammy: Ok, I can do this. I can do this. Here I go.
The blonde twin jumped to the first hoodoo
Sammy: Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah.
The Blonde ended up sliding off the hoodoo and grabbed by her nails to the border.
Chris: Oh no. Did I forget to mention those hoodoos are greased?
Sammy growled.
Jasmine: Hang on Sammy.
The Australian survivalist quickly extended her hand and managed to gran Sammy justa as she lost her grip.
Jasmine: Quick, gran to my back.
Sammy: But I tough you said-
Jasmine: JUST DO IT.
The cheerleader jumped and Jasmine started to jump the hoodoos.
-confesional-
Sammy: Jasmine totally saved my life. Hope i don't have to do the same, cause in that case we're both dead.
-end of confessional-
While the crocodiles finally arrived at the border.
Chris: Took ya long enough. Next time, would you mind attacking the contestants, instead of the local robo-fauna?
The alpha of the pack (assuming these worked like that) spitted the goat bell.
Chris: Ew.
Jasmine and Sammy stopped on the last log, Sammy was the first to jump. Amy saw from her position how Jasmine was getting ready to jump.
Amy: NOW.
The mean Cheerleader pushed a button and out of nowhere, a log Balanced into the path, hitting Jasmine on the back of her head as she was mid-jump. Making her fall over Sammy.
Chris: Swinging log comin atcha. And people say I don't care for the safety and well-being of our players.
Amy: Ugh. You're seriously cheesy with those lines.
Jasmine: Owwwwww.
Sammy: Oh no. Jasmine. Please answer back, stay with me. How many fingers do you see?
Jasmine: I'm fine... Ohhhh.
The Outback girl tried to stand up, but she was barely able to stay off the floor.
Sammy: Forget it. That hit was pretty hard, I'll carry you.
Jasmine crossed her arm over her friend's shoulder and allowed her to carry her. It was definitely a very slow pace, but it was better than nothing.
Chris: Someone it's not making her job right.
Amy: I'M TRYING.
The host rolled his eyes and then saw the robots watching over the cliff while whimpering like puppys.
Chris; awww, What's wrong? Afraid of a little hundred and fifty foot drop? Maybe this will change your mind.
Chris pressed a button and the crocodile's eyes turned Shining red, their whimpers became vicious snarling and they started to walk in the walls of the pit.
Which was a more than welcomed fortune for the odd trio of Sky, Sugar and Topher, that just barely arrived at the hoodoos.
Sky: No sign of those crocs. It's safe now guys.
Topher: Great.
Chris: Ladies and Topher. Welcome, you're still alive. That's okay there's still plenty of time and it's a long way-
The screen suddenly detached itself from the mountain and fell off to the abyss.
Sky: Whoa, look how deep that…
Suddenly, the pageant queen started to walk without care, all while holding her head up to stop her nose from bleeding and her eyes shut.
Topher: Sugar?
Sugar: Can we take a break soon? I'm just plain tuckered.
Sky: Um, sure. In a few more steps.
Sugar arrived at the other side and even ducked the log by pure luck when she decided to bend and take air.
Sugar: Ugh. I feel like nothing's going right today.
The blonde backwards.
Sugar: Oh crud, we have to cross that? Well here goes nothing...
Sky: NO-NO. We gotta go that way.
Topher: Yeah, You stay there until we get across.
Sky: Right, You wanna team up or?
Topher: Actually, I need space if you don't mind.
The olympian in training did as asked, Topher took a little impulse and then proceeded to slide his way through the hoodoos, jumping every so Often to change his position and landing on his hands in the end.
Sky: WOAH.
Sugar: Nice moves pretty boy. How you do that?
Topher: Ice skating and some gymnastics, 3 years. Learn a few tricks for slippery situations.
Sky: Nice, Now it's my turn.
Sky did a similar deal as Topher, but when the log came towards her, she jumped, grabbed it and used its movement to balance herself to the other side, also landing on her hands.
Topher: Way to go Sky. Olympic gymnastics?
Sky: Like you said, learn a few tricks. Now let's move.
Sugar: Ha-ha. Funny. If I was Chris I totally would've made people cross that.
Topher: You do realize that-
Topher was suddenly draged by a hand behind the big rocks. Sugar turned around and saw no one.
Sugar: Topher?... Eh, his loss.
-confesional-
Sky: Okay, being partners with Sugar is a lot harder than I thought. But a promise is a promise, so I'll do whatever it takes to win… as long as it's by the books. Also, Topher is a good partner, so hey, if everything goes wrong, i can count on him right?
-end of confessional-
Topher turned around and saw Amy holding a controller.
Topher: Am-
The cheerleader placed her hand over his mouth.
Amy: Keep silence, I'm lucky that Chris' cameras in the área have fallen off, so I can give you an advantage.
Topher: Awesome. But how?
Amy pressed another button and the wall of the mountain opened to reveal an elevator.
Amy: Here, this will get me to the next challenge i have to actívate, and then you can use it to get closer to the top cave. Chris doesn't really know all the insides, so he will think you entered the lower entrance.
The alliance entered the elevator, and started the slowly upwards, whit a elevator music remake of the show song being the only company they had. So it quickly became a awkward aire between them.
Topher: So… you're the one swinging that log from before.
Amy: Yeah. It's kinda my task to control certain hazards and slow down the players.
Topher: So the log not going for me was intentional.
Amy: Un, duh. You're my ally, of course I'm not hitting your pretty face.
Topher: So you do think I'm pretty.
Amy: Well… yeah, like I'm not blind.
Topher acquired a cocky smile and cornered the twin, making her blush.
Topher: Well, you're certanly a delight to share room whit.
Amy: T-Topher.
Topher: Your eyes shine like a pair of sapphires, it's very hypnotic.
Amy's face got so red that it made her intern jacket look pink in comparison. Topher started to close the distance between them and Amy seemed like she was going to correspond, but suddenly.
Amy: OH LOOK. This is my stop, you keep going, win this and…. yeah, win this
The blonde cheerleader ducked the kiss and then pressed the button so the elevator continued to go up while the host wannabe recovered from the confusion. As soon as she heard the elevator was gone she grabbed her jacket, covered her face and released a muffled screech.
-confesional-
Topher: Ok, I was 100% sure that was going to work.
Amy (keeps screeching under her intern jacket)
-end of confessional-
Meanwhile outside, Sammy continued to carry Jasmine
Jasmine: Really Sammy. I'm feeling much better, you can put me down now.
Sammy: Only if you're absolutely sure because I could carry you all day.
Just as she finished talking, her legs gave out.
Sammy: Maybe not.
Jasmine: Rest your limbs a bit mate, cause it's time to break out the climbing gear.
Sammy looked up, there was no more road ahead, just a big wall.
Sammy: Ugh… five minutes.
Down the mountain, Sky and Sugar stopped to recover air, and the Olympian saw a cave entrance.
Sky: Sugar, if this cave has an exit somewhere higher up the mountain, we could catch up to Sammy and Jasmine or even pass them.
Sugar: Yeah, but what if it doesn't?
Sky: It's a risk, but if we stay on the trail I don't think we'll catch up to them.
Sugar: Hmmm. Path or cave.
Suddenly the pageant started a… peculiar sign-song game of choice.
Sugar: My mother punched your mother right in the head. H-a-e-d. Cave it is.
Sky just saw her baffled while she entered the cave
-confessional-
Sky: I hope our mothers never meet…
-end of confessional-
The camera moved to the hoodoo cliff, where the 5 robotic crocodiles ascended, now having rockets on their feet.
Chris: Oh, killer robot crocodiles, is there anything you can't do?
Sammy was struggling to keep up in the uphill way.
Sammy: Gotta keep up. Gotta keep up. Gotta k-
The rock she grabbed gave out, but thankfully her security cord stopped her fall.
Sammy: That was close.
Jasmine: You okay down there Sammy?
Sammy: Yep. I'm hanging in there… Oh great, I'm making puns to not panic.
Meanwhile, the duo of Sugar and Sky continued to walk through the cave.
Sugar: This cave is mustier than a wet dog in a storm-cellar.
Sky: There, I see daylight up abo...
But her words had to be stopped when they saw no less than a dozen bears sleeping close to the exit.
Sky (whispering): Shhh. Not a sound.
the two started to slowly walk. Sadly, Chris "conveniently" appeared with one screen and screamed.
Chris: Hey. I see you found our bear cave. Oops.
The entire group of bears woke up and growled at the girls.
Sugar: Nuh-uh, Sugar ain't goin' out like this. I got dreams to make them real.
-confesional-
Sugar: My plan for the money may seem real normal, but I wanna go to college to study veterinary medicine with a minor in cosmetology. And then get a job puttin' make-up on famous animals.
-end of confessional-
Sugar: I may not be able to put lipstick on these bears right now, but someday someone somewhere watching some movie will say… "You know who put the make-up on that monkey? Sugar did!"
Sky: What?
Sugar: Sorry, mental rambles. Point is, I can get us out of this, but it ain't gonna be pretty. Can you handle it?!
Sky: Um...
Sugar: I said… CAN YOU HANDLE IT?
-confesional-
Sky: I have no idea what Sugar is about to do, but I am 147% sure I can't handle it.
-end of confessional-
Sugar: You bears are about to be sugared.
The pageant queen bended and pointed her butt towards the bears, with a grunt, she fart-blasted all the bears, it was so strong, that it literally ripped the fake fur from them, exposing their metaliz endoskeletons, and immediately started to fail and explode. Once the bear fumigation was done, Sugar exited the cave with a semi-unconscious Sky on arms.
Sky: what - happened… In there?
Sugar: Remember the nine heads of cabbage that i-
Sky: NUFF SAID.
-confesional-
Sugar: PFF, prude. She belches like a drunk farmer but can't handle some cabbage gas?
Sky: You know… i think i understand Dave germophobia a lot more now.
The athlete's cheeks bulged and the camera cutted.
-end of confesional-
The side of the mountain opened, allowing Topher to be out.
Topher: Right, where's the top?
The host wannabe turned around and saw one final hill to climb.
Topher: ugh. Hope this climbing gear is not cheap. Or i'll be splat like a fly.
Jasmine: You know, us working together like this, there's no way we won't win.
Sammy (mutters): More like whit you working like this.
Jasmine: I'll be happy to split that million with you partner.
Sammy: Uh, yeah. Sure thing.
Jasmine: You... You are okay with that, Right?
Sammy: Of course, it's just that i don't feel like im-
Jasmine was so distracted hearing Sammy, that she didn't notice she placed the pickaxe close to a slope, breaking it and making her fall.
Jasmine: Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.
Sammy: JASMINE NO.
Luckly, her bag got tangled on a branch.
Sammy: Jasmine. Hang on.
Jasmine: NO. I'll get out of this and meet you up there but you go get that flag, you hear me?
Sammy: But-
Jasmine: I SAY GO.
The cheerleader saw her, but she knew there was no way of convincing her to move on, nor did she really have a way of helping her.
Sammy: Okay…. I'll see you at the finish line.
The cheerleader continued to ascend, while the bag continued to slowly tear,
Jasmine: Uh oh. I hope something breaks my fa-
And it finally broke.
Jasmine: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH.
Sky and sugar continued to walk up.
Sugar: You know, mama says, if you roll around in the dirt for twenty minutes, it'll rub the stink right off of ya.
Sky: Do you hear something?
Sugar: Yeah, sounds like-
Before they could react, Jasmine landed on them
Sugar/Sky/Jasmine: owwwwwwwwww.
Topher finally arrived at the mountain top.
Topher: agh, phew. That was-
The snarling of a crocodile made him stop talking and saw the robot making guard to the flag.
Topher: Oh come on. How in the heck did one of those crocodiles get up here?
The monitor right at the side of the crocodile showed Chris.
Chris: Are you kidding me? These robo-crocs can do anything, they're even equipped with the latest version of mytunes.
The crocodile started to reproduce the song that was always heard when Justin was around.
Chris: Anyway, they're going to eat you. Good luck.
The host wannabe started to run around from the robo-crocodiles, while Sammy managed to climb.
Sammy: I made it-
Topher: Hey, not the face, not the face. ahhhhh.
Sammy started to run towards the flag, but she was tackled by her sister.
Sammy: YOU?
Amy: You're not winning this Sparemy.
Sammy: Leave me alone.
The twins started to fight, while Topher avoided another crocodile, although he did scratch him, splitting his perfect cut.
Topher: Oh that's it. Nobody messes with my style. BRING IT ON METAL CASE.
The crocodile jumped towards him, but Topher jumped over and stomped on his back, breaking it. Then he avoided another one and repeated the stomp on another croc, he gunned it for the flag, but stopped when he saw the twins fighting. Sammy was overpowering her sister, and started to slap her.
Sammy: LEAVE. ME. ALO-
Suddenly, the nice twin felt a hit on the back of her head before falling semi-unconscious to the side. Amy looked up and saw Topher holding the pole flag and extending his other hand towards her.
Topher: Need a hand m'lady?
The twin with the mole simply responded by jumping to his arm and kissing him. The host wannabe quickly dropped the flag and corresponded. Neither noticed Chris coming down with his jetpack.
Chris: Ugh. Seriously guys? in the middle of the challenge?
The two broke the scene and looked at the sides embarrassed.
Chris: Whatever, Topher. You're the winner.
Topher: Yes.
Jasmine, Sugar and Sky were recovering. When the screen appeared showing Chris, Topher and Amy.
Chris: We have a winner. Topher captured the flag and won immunity. Oh yeah, and Samey is also here, The next two to the top get to stay, last one here blasts away.
Jasmine started to run, leaving Sky And Sugar behind quickly.
-confesional-
Sugar: I've only gotta beat one of them to the top and Sky's making herself easy pickins. Time to show her that playing dirty is the best way to play.
-end of confessional-
Sky was pushing sugar as much as she could.
Sugar: Oh, sky. I'm so tired. I don't think I can do it anymore.
Sky: Come on, sugar. We're a team. We can do this.
Sugar: You mean I can do this.
The pageant queen moved to the side, which made Sky go forward due to her push and fall off the cliff.
Sky: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Jasmine: Oh no. Sky.
Sugar: Don't hit your head on the cannon.
Jasmine: How dare you… you… FAT HIPPO.
Sugar: Don't hate the player, hate the game.
But sugar glee was broken when out of nowhere, A rocket robotic crocodile raised white sky riding on its back.
Sky: Whoooooo-hoooooo.
-confesional-
Sky: Sugar, our deal is OFF.
-end of confessional-
The robot took the athlete to the top of the mountain while Sammy was finally recovering consciousness.
Chris: And Sky comes in third.
Sky: Yeah. Eat that dollar store honey boo boo.
Chris: Sugar and Jasmine, I can think of one million reasons you should get moving.
The two final contestants started to run. But Sugar quickly slowed due to being tired.
Sugar: No... No. Aw, fudge nuggets. -leans on a tree- There's no way i'm catching her.
Amy: Oh, you are.
The mole twin pushed a button, and suddenly, the tree that Sugar was leaning started to move, and it ended up falling right on Jasmine.
Jasmine: ahhhh.
Sammy: JASMINE.
Sky: OH NO.
Jasmine: Owww…
Sugar: Ha, I meant to do that. Buh bye.
The pageant queen started to walk away, until she saw how Jasmine managed to stand up with the entire tree. She was walking with a 10 foot tall three over her body. Yes she was slow. But damn if it wasn't a scary sight.
Sammy: Go Jasmine. You can.
Amy: No she ca-
Sammy: SHUT IT.
But sadly, Amy was right, as Sugar ascended to the top.
Chris: Sugar makes it to the top.
Sugar: Yiiihaaaaaaa.
Sammy fell to her knees.
Sammy: No… again… it happened again.
Sky placed a hand on her shoulder and sent an angry glare towards Sugar.
Chris: Sorry Jasmine, you're going home!
The outback survivalist just sighed disappointed.
-confesional-
Sugar: Madame make-up monkey lady is still in the game. BOOM.
-end of confessional-
Whit the night falling on the island,
Chris: I imagined a different outcome but as long as I get to shoot someone out of the cannon, i'm happy and i'll sleep okay. Now-
Sky: Wait, why do you have marshmallows? I thought Jasmine was automatically eliminated.
Chris: Yeah, and she is. I just wanted to drop salt in the wound. Sugar, Sky, Sammy and Topher are safe.
The four catched their marshmallows, but Sammy was far from happy.
Sammy: Can't i change places with her?
Chris: Sorry, but we already had Dave quitting and 2 disqualifications. I'm all done for specials this season. Topher, you win a take-out order from the prairie oyster palace. You're nuts if you're not nuts about these nuts.
Topher: Would you like some oysters, my queen?
Amy: Oh shut up you silly.
Chris: Disgusting. I prefer Jasmine and Shawn, since she was unable to get out from down-undah the tree, means they got a date away. after shes shoot from the cannon… Is that croc wearing make-up?
The camera moved revealing that Sugar was applying make-up to the last remaining robo-crocodile.
Sugar: So pretty.
Sky, Topher and Amy simply didn't know how to react. While Sammy was on the brink of crying.
Sammy: This is all my fault. I should'a helped instead of going ahead.
Jasmine gave her friend a hug.
Jasmine: It's okay. My idea, remember? I guess we won't be partners, but I still hope you win it.
The rumbling of Sugar stomach broke the moment,
Sugar: Better hurry it up, I got a cannon of my own about to go off here.
Sky: Ugh. Go to the forest.
Chris: Quickly jasmine. Quickly.
Everyone but sugar abandoned the main area.
Sammy: I will miss you.
Jasmine gave her a smile and handed her hat.
Jasmine: Here.
Sammy: Your hat? b-but-
Jasmine: Now you have something to give back once we see each other after the finale.
The cheerleader cracked a little smile and hugged the hat. Jasmine drafted her glance towards Sky, a tense silence formed, but Jasmine broke the lack of sound.
Jasmine: Sorry about Dave.
Sky was a bit surprised, but simply said.
Sky. Sorry about Shawn.
The two shook hands before Jasmine finally entered the cannon. Amy gave her a mocking wave, Jasmine simply fired back with a middle finger, leaving her mouth gaped.
Chris: Fire in the hole.
The host pushed the button and Jasmine was sent flying across the night sky. Another emotional bullet for Sammy. She had already lost 3 friends, and now, her best friend was also gone.
Sugar: Better take cover. The bus is about to move.
Sky, Topher, Sammy and Amy runned away, while Chris didn't have luck and was trapped in the blast area.
Chris: Next time -coughs- Total dra -coughs more- Pahkitew.
The host ended up passing out due to the smell. While Chef saw everything wearing a gas mask.
Sky walked towards the treehouse, while Sammy had a slower pace, holding Jasmine hat on her hands. And the mocking voice of her sister interrupted her sadness.
Amy: I'm lonely, so lonely.
I'm always alone.
I never get emails
or calls on my phone.
Sammy: You can't help yourself right? You feel the need to come here and stomp on me.
Amy: Funny. You have no right to say any of that.
Sammy: WHY? WHY DO I HAVE NO RIGHT?
Amy: Seriously. You still act like you don't know?
Sammy: BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW.
Amy. YOU KILLED MS.FLUFFY.
Sammy stepped back at the accusation.
Sammy: W-what?
Amy: YOU KILLED MY CAT. And then tried to hide it away thinking I wouldn't see it. But I did. I saw you burying it.
Sammy: N-no. I didn't. It ran away… mom sai-.
Amy gave her a hard slap. Harder than any other she ever gave her, to the point that she had the red mark of her sister's hand. But she didn't expect to see her sister… with tears on the brim of coming out.
Amy: You always say you're nice Samey. But I know the truth. You're the one and true monster.
Amy walked away, leaving the sobbing Sammy processing everything. And it was there that she remembered. She remembered how the cat was suddenly looking bad, and she also knew the reason why. She also remembered how she buried the pet, and then, the last image was a young Amy pushing her and everything went black.
Sammy hugged Jasmine hat as tears fell through her face. She remembered… EVERYTHING.
Sammy: Amy… i'm sorry.
-END OF THE EPISODE-
And with another pair of bullets to our protagonist, we finish this episode.
Re-working the scenes was kinda fun, as the addition of 1 extra player and Amy helped me to splice more scenes.
Sky and Sugar were the same as canon, while Topher was trying his moves with Amy. And even though at first she resisted, his move on the top of the mountain has cemented the couple's status.
Jasmine had to leave us here, as she has completed her role overall. And works as another big hit for Sammy who keeps surviving, at the cost of losing her friends. But the bigger hit was the reveal made by Amy at the end, which unlocked the memories of the nicer twin. and the painful truth behind the years of abuse of her sister… or at least, part of it.
In the next episode we have our final 4 contestants coming up with unique challenges to determine the two who will advance to the finale, and the two who will end dead metters away from the oasis.
