In the halls of the apartment of the Casagrande Market; Ronnie Anne and her best friend Sid Chang were on Ronnie Anne's phone on the Total Drama Island website where they were viewing the clip Ezekiel was pitching his idea to go out hunting to to the Killer Hamsters n the middle of the first night there and Gwen chasing after then after a sleepy Lincoln unwittingly agreed to go.
They found it quite funny and still interested in the news saying that there were promises that the clips uploaded after the next episode has done airing will be juicy. "Man... To think that Lincoln spent most of his first night on the show in a net thanks to Homeschool. Still not so sure about him but if Lincoln can turn him into something then perhaps he is not hopeless dead weight." Ronnie Anne was telling Sid as she nodded.
The show was the talk of the town and especially at school with most jealous that Ronnie Anne's friend was the one in the US to get in but the show was pretty popular; her friend group was no different even if they had submitted their own auditions but were wanting to support Lincoln by watching at home as well.
"I just hope that the she-demon gets eliminated tonight!" Sid snapped as Ronnie Anne knew that Sid was among the Lindsay haters with her being devious it turned out much to the ignorance of the other campers; especially with her wanting to mess with Lincoln. Sid watching at her own apartment with family was a big admirer of Justice along with her sister Adelaide so they were both crushed to see him gone that episode and cried after it aired.
They said goodbye to eachother and Sid went to her apartment and Ronnie Anne went to join her family and the Louds in Bobby and Lori's apartment. "I was wondering if I should send someone to collect you Ronalda!" spoke Rosa as they were all ready and in position.
"Sorry Abuela and everyone; you know that I wouldn't miss this. Watching all the way to the end to see Lincoln win this!" Ronnie Anne sat in her spot as it was soon starting.
"When we last off on Total Drama Island." Chris said at the Dock of Shame as it showed clips of the previous episode. "It was time for a talent show as master judge Chef was in charge of rewarding points to the 6 campers chosen from each teams. While practicing Lincoln with his suit caught the eye of both teammate Gwen and opposing teams' Dawn. Courtney with her violin and Lincoln with his magic act impressed Chef DJ though Dawn did the same for her singing. What sealed the Screaming Beavers' fate was Tyler & Justin's distraction that messed up Lightning's act costing him some points. But it turns out Lindsay intentionally sabotaged her team leading to dreamboy Justin walking the Dock of Shame. That wasn't the end of her deviousness as she got her hands Lincoln's drawings of both his admirers and used them to convince each of them to pursue him with ol snowball hair none the wiser. Will Lindsay be found out? Who is walking the Dock of Shame tonight? Would a dinner jacket improve this look? Found out today on... Total... Drama... Island!"
"Hopefully she will be... I can't believe that I liked her!" groaned Leni and it was certainly a shocking experience seeing the ending of the first episode.
The opening is shown.
It was 2 mornings after that surprising day which had taken place after the talent show challenge; both teams were at their tables and Lincoln and Dawn were giving nervous looks at eachother while Zoey looked their way and giggled.
"Oh has something happened between them? They are being bashful towards eachother." Leni asked her groaning from just before the opening turning to excitement and the Dawncoln supporters brightened up as well.
"Okay, what is going on creepy girl? You and the magician over on the other team have been acting weird ever since 2 mornings. Right before the Hamsters did that weird bowling thing with the bowling pins made out of the trees and using themselves as balls." Lightning decided to finally ask banging his fist on the table looking to Dawn.
"They were doing WHAT?" Rita asked bewildered as most didn't know what to make of that.
"OMG; Somersault Bowling was one of the best ideas we have had in a long time! It was a lot of fun!" Katie said smiling as she sat in the confessional with Sadie.
"Somersault Bowling... Words are failing me at the moment..." Lisa muttered her logical mind not comprehending such an idea.
"Definitely sounds... Out there..." Lynn Sr agreed with his 2nd youngest daughter.
"Lincoln on the last go managed to get a strike! The only one scored; we didn't think that one was even possible!" Sadie squealed.
Footage of it shown with the Killer Hamsters aside with Lincoln waiting as Courtney (who decided that she might as well watch even if she wasn't taking part) was setting up the large wooden pins and stepped aside. Lincoln took a large run as he went into a somersault and got them all down and was on his back with one hitting him on the head as Gwen helped him up with the Killer Hamsters excited about his Strike.
"Wow! Go Lincoln!" Ronnie Anne cheered along with the others.
"That looks amazing... I want to try it!" Lynn Jr shouted.
"Me too!" Lana said as her twin just shook her head.
"Looks painful and wouldn't you get a splinter?" Leni asked shaking her head.
"Super fun!" CJ said with a smile.
"I wonder if we could sell bowling pins like them if we can get the wood to carve them ourselves?" Hector pondered sharing a look with Carl.
"That is literally the best at sports that Lincoln has ever done." Lori joked but the Louds could tell that she wasn't exactly wrong.
"Man if they were stuck doing a sports challenge... Lincoln would be the weak link..." laughed Lynn Jr along with some of the other Loud siblings even if there were shakes of the head from their parents and other siblings especially Lily.
"Please don't try and jinx it Lynn." chided Rosa who wasn't a fan of challenging the fates like that.
Dawn was looking away nervously and Lincoln gulped when he heard what they were talking about; "...No one knows yet Lincoln... You can keep this to yourself... That it turned out that Dawn and I were eachother's first kiss!" Lincoln whispered to himself nervously and managed to blurt out with eyes on him as he then covered his mouth.
"WHAT?" they all blurted out not expecting this with the Louds looking all confused.
"Did they kiss like before this episode and after the last one?" Leni asked excited but Lori shook her head along with Ronnie Anne and Bobby.
"Lincoln must be having memory problems as even if they did kiss off screen; Bobby and I were there for Lincoln's first kiss with Ronnie Anne!" Lori pointed out with a raised eyebrow and Ronnie Anne nodded with both families being made aware of what happened over the years. Maria wasn't too keen on what her children had done and the Loud parents were upset with Lori as well.
"How could he forget kissing our Ronalda?" Rosa asked but some suspected that there was more to this.
"Huh?" Gwen asked a hint of jealousy in her voice as Lincoln looked close to panic as Cody's eyes widened and he went to glare in Dawn's direction.
"It turned out... It sounds like you two have met before." Courtney pointed out noticing how he had said it as Lincoln sighed.
The Casagrandes turned to the Louds but they were confused; as far as they knew there was no way that they could have met before the show.
"...Okay look, I was on this road trip with my family when I was 7... I saw this girl at the hotel and she was humiliated during this party that the kids at the hotel had... I felt guilty but she ended up helping me out when I was in trouble the next day..."
"Oh I remember! Do you remember Lori?" Leni asked her eyes widening as the memory came to her and the older of the sisters as well as the parents.
"How could I forget? It was the worst scolding that I was ever gotten from Mum and Dad... Lincoln had gotten lost when Leni and I were supposed to be watching our siblings." sighed Lori as the Loud parents shook their heads at the memory.
"What happened?" Lily asked scared that something happened to her favourite and only older brother along with the younger sisters and the Casagrandes.
"Yes please don't leave us in suspense." Carlos asked taking Frida's hand.
"Lincoln was helped by the girl when he fell and we found him. We were so relieved to find hom alright after finding out that he had gotten lost and we offered to take the girl back to see her parents but she said that she was fine with the animals." Lynn Sr explained.
"I remember the girl and how the other kids thought that she was weird; I saw her crying when the other kids bullied her when Lincoln didn't want to kiss her during spin the bottle." Lynn Sr said as the Casagrandes and younger sisters thought that it would have been awful to go through that.
"I remember how weird the girl was; almost like she could read minds..." Luan remembered but paused.
"I think that she said that she was visiting from... Canada..." Luna continued but paused as they froze.
"No way... You all got to meet Dawn years ago?" Carl asked amazed.
"The stars are aligned..." Rosa muttered in disbelief.
"I don't know if I can calculate the odds right now..." Lisa muttered but Lori looked like she was ready to jump in realisation of something.
"Hang on! Did they kiss? Lincoln never told us anything about that!" Lori brought up as they blinked; the only Loud brother had kept his first kiss secret for 9 years...
"We kind of shared my first kiss..." Lincoln explained as there were eyes on him.
"Oh my... So romantic! It was fate that they would get onto the show together!" Leni squealed with the other Dawncoln shippers taking this in with smiles.
"Just a kiss between kids..." Ronnie Anne told them still preferring if Lincoln got with Gwen.
"Well Zoey is supporting Dawn and we saw her face so she must know!" CJ pointed out.
"It was mine as well; my family were visiting the USA and fate made us happen to meet up. I never expected to meet him again and only realised that the boy who I shared my first kiss with was Lincoln when I told the story to him those days ago. It seemed that fate guided us to meet eachother by happenstance." Dawn finished as they took this in.
Rosa felt that it must be fate as Leni said along with others.
"Is this going to be some fairy tale story? Lightning won't let anything between you and the boy on the other team affect our chances of actually winning a challenge!" Lightning asked folding his arms.
"Seriously everyone: am I really like this when I am being competitive?" Lynn Jr asked and sighed as no one really wanted to answer.
"Come on Lightning; it's sweet and kind of amazing really!" Zoey spoke up with a smile.
"I find it charming as well! Lincoln looks to be a cool guy as well." DJ said nodding with his own smile.
"Dawn's teammates are for it." Carlitos smiled with everyone glad that just about almost everyone were nice enough on the show.
"We are so not going to let nature girl get between you and Lincoln! Remember it was you that he chose to draw like one of those French girls!" Cody whispered to Gwen who sighed.
"Uh Cody... Couldn't Gwen have someone else to help her and to be reminded how Lindsay set things up?" groaned Ronnie Anne.
"All that it says was that there might have been some puppy love between them all those years ago!" Gwen whispered back shaking her head but couldn't keep the jealousy out of her voice.
"Don't let the jealousy get you down!" Lucy spoke up as Gwen's 2nd biggest fan after Ronnie Anne in the group.
"Lincoln man; who have you told this to? I would be thrilled to spill to my folks if I had gotten my first kiss!" Ezekiel decided to ask Lincoln who shook his head.
"Certainly not his family..." Lola muttered with the Loud siblings wanting to have a LONG talk with him about this.
"Absolutely no one and not even my best friend Clyde knows! I swore to never let my sisters know!" Lincoln answered looking determined.
That was out the water now.
"Well they are going to learn now." Courtney brought up and Lincoln looked at her as if silently asking what she meant. "You remember that we are on a reality TV show right? There are cameras everywhere recording us and today is challenge day!" Courtney reminded him as Lincoln looked on in horror as he realised that.
"I don't want you girls to be too hard on your brother like this..." Rita told her daughters as they sighed and nodded; the Casagrandes looked at Lincoln on the screen in pity as he realised just how screwed he was right now.
"This couldn't get any worst..." Lincoln muttered as Owen let out a large belch from across Lincoln at the table while eating from a can as they all reacted in disgust. "I stand corrected..." Lincoln muttered.
"Why was he picked for the show?" Lola groaned as most thought that the image was revolting though Lana didn't seem to mind at all.
"My iron stomach can only take so much..." Courtney muttered.
"Cleaning up after the animals back home never smelled nearly as bad..." Ezekiel gagged.
"What are you eating Owen?" Gwen demanded snatching the can away and her eyes widened. "Where did you get this Owen? This can expired... LAST YEAR!" Gwen shouted out as the Killer Hamsters were more disgusted than before.
"What? He eats that?" Lana asked in disbelief and as disgusted as everyone else and the Casagrande family all looked her way in surprise. "What? Even I have my limits." Lana told them.
"I found them outside Chef's cabin in the trash; you want some? They taste good." Owen asked as they all shook their heads.
"He was looking through the trash to eat? I am hoping that if Lincoln's team loses a challenge then he is the first to go!" Lola spoke and hardly anyone could disagree.
"What is wrong with you Owen? Even my sister Lana would never eat food that are a week expired!" Lincoln asked looking like he was going to run to a trashcan to barf.
Lana nodded affirmatively.
Soon Chris came in saying "okay Campers; next challenge is in 10 minutes and get ready to bring it!"
Both teams were at the dodgeball court set up at the beach and Chef dressed as the referee; "Today's challenge is the classic game of dodgeball!" Chris spoke taking out a dodgeball while next to the other dodgeballs with Lincoln looking on in horror as Lightning looked excited.
"Did you have to jinx it?" Rosa asked Lynn Jr as the Loud family knew that this didn't look good now.
"I... I didn't mean to..." Lynn Jr groaned hoping that Lincoln's teammates were better at the game than he was.
"Mama; you know how these episodes were already filmed and edited so it wasn't jinxed." Maria said but Rosa looked firm with her arms folded.
"The other team has Lightning..." Frida pointed out and this truly didn't look good for the Killer Hamsters.
"Yes! We are actually going to win this time!" Lighting cheered out loud to the heavens.
They shook their heads; looks like Lincoln is taking his first loss in the game.
"Love the enthusiasm Lightning but please let me explain the rules: if you get hit with the ball then you are out!" Chris said throwing the ball to Courtney catching it in the gut and tossing it back to him saying that he can't do that. "If you catch the ball, the thrower is out and the catcher gets to bring in another team member out on the court!" Chris said catching the ball and then tossed it to DJ.
"DJ try to hit me!" Chris said as he gad gotten another dodgeball. "If you have a ball then you can use it to deflect another ball; but if it knocks the ball out of your hands then you are out!" Chris explained.
"So what do you do when the ball comes to hit me again?" Lindsay asked looking confused as Chris used his dodgeball to deflect the ball from DJ and it ended up hitting Lindsay on the face. "You were supposed to dodge!" Chris ranted as she held her head.
"Don't tell her that; let her get hit!" Ronnie Anne shouted with a cheer as most found the image of Lindsay so satisfying knowing what she was like.
"I hope that your face gets all bruised up!" Leni spoke looking firm.
"I hope that no amount of make up covers that up!" shouts Carlotta looking as firm.
"You have 1 minute to game time! Hamsters; you will have to sit 1 person out each game! Best of 5 wins the challenge!" Chris said as Lincoln instantly put his hand up.
"Listen everyone; you had better have me sit out every game because... I suck! At sports in general and nothing that my parents or my sister Lynn ever tried could fix that! But dodgeball in particular? I am hopeless! If there is any challenge that I would be the weak link then this is the one!" Lincoln told his teammates looking like he was dead serious.
"They have a chance if he sits out every game." Lynn Jr spoke with hope.
"Come on now Lincoln; I am sure that you are being too harsh on yourself..." Dawn said assuringly with a smile coming over but then read his aura with her being shocked. "You are not exaggerating; you are hopeless..." Dawn said as Lincoln sighed but nodded and Zoey smacked her face.
"Directly said to the boy she likes..." Lily sighed even if most giggled including Ronnie Anne.
"Dawn needs to be less blunt; especially to her future boyfriend." Zoey said in the confessional with her arms folded looking disappointed.
"Not wrong about her needing to be less blunt as I can see her not making much friends if she was on the show with different people." Luna said with few able to disagree with her.
Lined up were Katie, Courtney, Owen, Cody & Gwen for the Killer Hamsters and a smirking Lightning, Dawn, Tyler, Lindsay & DJ for the Screaming Beavers. "It's on like Donkey Kong; we are going to eat you up and spit you out!" taunted Lightning with Dawn giving him a look.
"Well; we are going to totally eat something!" Owen put back as Courtney then smacked her face in irritation.
"Owen. You are disgracing the sacred art of the 'trash talk'." Lynn Jr sighed slapping her face.
Chef then blew his whistle with those sitting out on both teams cheering for their sides (though only Zoey was let on the Beavers' side); Tyler tried to throw his ball at Cody but he ended up throwing it right at Zoey.
"As bad as Lincoln could get; I never heard anything about him hitting someone on his team who wasn't even in the game!" Lynn Sr shook her head.
"Is he really a sports guy or is he just a wannabe?" Ronnie Anne asked and they guessed that it was probably the first one.
"Try to hit their team! Not our team, especially not those in the game!" snapped Lightning in Tyler's face looking like he was ready to hit something. "You look like you are supposed to be the other sports start but even the worst teammate I ever had would never have done something like that! Is the sports gear just for show?" Lightning asked shaking his head.
Lynn Jr was once again seriously wondering if she was like this when she got too competitive.
Owen went to throw and hit Tyler in the stomach eliminating him; Lightning gave him a death glare and threw a ball right at Owen eliminating him.
"Big guy is out..." Carl spoke thinking that this looked sore.
"This is going to be easy; sorry Dawn..." Cody smirked running and throwing at Dawn but she moved to the side easily dodging it. "Wait what... That was a fluke... Can I borrow this..." Cody asked Sadie taking her ball and threw it at Dawn but she easily caught it with one hand as she was balancing her dodgeball on her foot with her leg stretched out.
"Wow. Does being one with nature make one good at dodging?" Frida asked with most amazed.
"Wow Dawn..." Lincoln muttered in awe as Cody went to join him, Ezekiel & Katie on the stands as Tyler rejoined the Beavers.
"Should I see about finding some hippie girls to join my teams?" wondered Lynn Jr.
"Okay this; take Lightning out and then the rest should be easy... Save Dawn for last..." Courtney muttered aiming for Lightning but he taking a ball from Dawn, then used it to deflect the ball from Courtney getting her out to her irritation.
"Dawn is... Just wow..." CJ wondered in awe.
"Yeah, she is good..." Ronnie Anne had to agree.
DJ then threw his ball at Gwen but she dodged and Gwen threw one hitting Lindsay in the face eliminating her, Katie gulped as she tried to deflect a ball from Dawn but it knocked her out of her hand.
"I could watch Lindsay getting by a dodgeball all day!" Luan cheered along with the others.
"From Gwen as well." Lucy pointed out as Ronnie Anne grinned.
Gwen gulped as she found a free ball to throw but it ended up being caught by Lightning with a a yawn.
"At least you made it to the last of your team Gwen." sighed Ronnie Anne in her head.
"Round goes to the Beavers!" Chris said as the Beavers cheered as the Hamsters went to their side of the court.
"I am out again; trust me people... You DON'T want me out there! I would just get hurt embarrassingly!" Lincoln told him as Katie, Courtney, Gwen & Owen went onto court to play this round.
"Don't worry Lincoln bro! I will win this for you aye!" Ezekiel patted him on the back as he went to be the 5th teammate.
"You really think that he could do this?" Lori asked not having much faith.
"Well he did surprise us by working well with Lincoln with the hot tub and apparently he is a National Spelling Bee Champion so he could have his own talents." Bobby reminded his wife and most knew that it wouldn't be the most surprising thing about Ezekiel if he did turn out to win this round for them.
"You had better be as good as dodgeball as you are at building!" Courtney warned Ezekiel as they were facing Zoey, Dawn, Lightning, DJ & Lindsay.
They were hoping so.
Chef blew his whistle as Lindsay asked "What are we supposed to do with this again?" She was then hit in the face by a ball from Ezekiel with him high fiving his teammates as Lindsay got up and saw Tyler on the stands smiling at her and she smiled back, Cody looked at this in jealousy.
"Good one Homeschool." grinned Ronnie Anne as more cheers.
"I am confused; she seems ditzy but is cunning and devious... Is she kind of an evil savant?" Hector ended up asking and they thought that this probably was the case.
"Here goes nothing; wasn't the best at sports..." Zoey muttered but looked on in shock and proud of herself as she managed to get Katie out when she threw by hitting her on the knee.
Dawn was doing some ballet poses as she dodged the balls coming her way from the Killer Hamsters as Courtney looked ready to grit her teeth.
Most were in awe again.
"That girl... She has to be some sort of alien! No one could like that just by being a 'one with nature' hippie type. Plus that 'aura reading'..." Courtney snapped in the Confessional.
"I bet this will have Zach believing..." Luna said as they knew that one of Lincoln's friends in his school friend group was still after proving the existence of aliens.
Lightning grinned as he collected balls and started throwing them right at the Killer Hamsters getting them all out.
They shook their heads knowing that Lightning was a powerhouse here.
"Round goes to the Screaming Beavers! One more round won for them and they win!" Chris said with Chef blowing his whistle and the Screaming Beavers excited.
"Surely they will have to turn this around now..." pleaded Lynn Jr with hope that kept on dropping.
Out on the field ready to play for the Hamsters were Cody, Ezekiel, Katie & Gwen while Lightning, Tyler, Lindsay, Zoey & DJ were up for the Beavers. "Guys... I am feeling gassy from those beans... I better sit this one out..." Owen muttered sitting down next to Lincoln.
"I am now imagining the smell..." groaning Lola along with the others.
"Watch out Linky!" Leni called out as they smell would be nasty with him sitting next to him.
"Are you sure that you can't play Lincoln?" Sadie asked Lincoln as he looked firm.
"Trust me; this is for the best if I don't... OWEN! THAT IS DISGUSTING!" Lincoln snapped as the Hamsters held their noses as putrid natural gas came from Owen and Lincoln ran away and onto the court as Chef then blew his whistle.
The faces of Ronnie Anne and the Louds turned white. "Oh no..." most said at once.
"Wait, what? No... Chef..." Lincoln pleaded in horror as he realised what was going on and groaned going to his knees.
"Come on Lincoln; this is like in the climax of a movie where the plucky underdog digs deep and overcomes the odds..." Cody assured Lincoln coming over and putting a hand on his shoulder only for them both to get by Zoey & Tyler.
"Sorry Lincoln..." muttered Zoey apologetically as they both went to the stands.
"Well he would be accurate if he was talking about the intended climax of Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. Was supposed to end with the main characters losing." Lynn Sr said trying to lighten the mood.
"I will avenge you buddy!" roared Ezekiel throwing his ball at Zoey and cheered as he got her only to get hit by Lightning, Katie and Gwen began running away to dodge but a barrage of thrown balls at Lightning got them out.
"Oh... In a rather embarrassing 3 to nil; the Screaming Beavers win the day! Hamsters; you lose and for the first time, you have to vote someone out!" Chris said as Lincoln sighed joining his team.
"Going from winning the first 2 challenges to losing embarassingly in the 3rd..." Lynn Jr said putting her hands on her face but CJ jumped.
"The best bet to vote off..." CJ pointed out and they gulped realising who he meant.
"So soon..." Leni asked.
"First from his team..." Lily asked wiping away a tear.
"Well; our first loss..." Courtney sighed.
"Well; we had a weak link this time and sorry Lincoln but..." Cody sighed looking quite reluctant along with the other teammates and Lincoln looked understanding.
"AHHH!" Ronnie Anne groaned with her arms folded.
"Don't be too upset Ronnie Anne; Lincoln gave it his all and there's no shame in losing." Maria tried to console her.
"No way; Lincoln has helped us out and got us to victory in the last 2 challenges before this and it was Owen's disgustingness that got him on the field! Besides; I would rather not share a cabin with him tonight and smell his farts!" Gwen spoke up looking defiant.
"I could get behind them losing him..." Lola said shaking her head.
"Yeah; I am sticking up for my buddy as well!" Ezekiel spoke in agreement nodding his head.
"I will give him this; he is trying to be a good loyal friend." Ronnie Anne said.
"Yeah but in this case... We might have more sport related challenges and he admitted that he wasn't so good... Sorry Lincoln; I will be sure to thank you in my acceptance speech when I win it all and I hope we can keep in touch afterwards!" Courtney said with a smile as Gwen rolled her eyes as she glared at Courtney.
"This is the thanks he get as he helped you all win the first 2 challenges..." snapped Lynn Jr with her arms folded.
"Wish he could have lasted longer. Sigh..." spoke Lucy shaking her head.
"Lincoln did his best and that's all we can ask for him." Lynn Sr tried to console them.
"Thanks but it's alright; I gave it my all but... It's a competition and I hope we can still be friends! I will see you all at the campfire ceremony, I just want to have one last look around the island before I go." Lincoln smiled with a resigned sigh as he walked off but his teammates looked uneasy and so did Lindsay, DJ, Zoey and Dawn.
"At least he will have people missing him..." sighed Leni hoping that they could meet up again after the show is done.
Later Lincoln was drawing a landscape of the trees as he jumped as he found a hand on his shoulder; "Oh Dawn... Hi!" Lincoln greeted Dawn as she looked concerned. "This could be our last chance to talk..." Lincoln muttered as Dawn shook her head.
"I looked at my homemade tea leaves before going to find you; they said that fate would give you another chance. In case that they are wrong; I want to see how you are getting on. You have nothing to be ashamed off; I am not the biggest sports fan myself." Dawn told him looking hopeful.
"Well she was the 2nd best behind Lightning." Carlos spoke still unable to believe what he had seen.
"Fate gave her a message through tea leaves? He may still have a chance to survive this!" Rosa spoke with some hopeful confidence.
"Not much that fate can do when Lincoln unfortunately has most of his team going to vote him off Mama." Maria told her but hoping that it wasn't the case.
"Thanks for the sentiment Dawn but I don't think the fates will be bending over backwards for me." Lincoln shook his head but put his hand on her shoulder. "But it's easy for you to say as you were incredible out there! I am lucky that my first kiss was with someone as cool as you!" Lincoln told her and Dawn was red in the face and so was he.
Leni managed to smile along with Lily and Carlitos.
"If you are truly to be eliminated tonight; consider this a parting gift from me." Dawn told Lincoln as she went and kissed him on the cheek and waved to him with them both embarrassed by this.
The three cheered as Ronnie Anne just sighed along with Lucy.
"So unexpectedly bold of her." Luna said smiling along with others there.
"I am going to miss her..." Lincoln muttered as he managed to go back to his drawing. "Now... I can draw that giant X in the mud..." Lincoln spoke to himself but paused as he just realised the X in the mud and went to dig it up curiously with his hands. "Uh... This feels like something Lana would do..." Lincoln muttered but found something.
"Well... At least Lincoln can bring home buried treasure?" Lori asked puzzled along with the others.
"Was this a pirate's island long ago or did the show dig something?" Sergio asked and most forgot that the parrot was there.
At the campfire pit Lincoln was showing off a wooden sculpture bust of Chris' head smiling. "That was really buried here?" Gwen asked perplexed.
"Wow Chris; so modest of you to think that this was treasure worth burying." scoffed Ronnie Anne sarcastically.
"What is that for?" Carlotta asked with most shrugging that it was probably nothing.
"It's weird but it will make for a nice souvenir as I go home..." Lincoln said as Chris got their attention with a plate of marshmallows as they all sat down.
"Your first time at the campfire ceremony Killer Hamsters; the votes have been casted and I see that I know who is out of here. I am handing out the marshmallows and whoever doesn't receive one will have to walk the Dock of Shame, board the Boat of Losers and leave the show for good!" Chris explained as Lincoln nodded with a resigned sigh.
They shook their heads; "Just rip the bandaid off and get it over with Chris..." sighed Luna looking dejected.
"Ezekiel. Gwen, Courtney, Sadie. Cody. Katie." Chris spoke tossing them their marshmallows as there were apologetic looks at Lincoln who gave his best smile wanting to take this in stride. "Before I give out the final marshmallow... That's a nice handsome McLean-Brand Chris Head that you got there. Only 1 that we have buried here." Chris informed him as Lincoln looked perplexed.
"Why are you drawing this out? This is already bad enough!" demanded Lynn Jr but Rosa was now looking closely at the Chris bust.
"Plastic replicas will be available on the official Total Drama Island merchandise store at twenty bucks and for ten bucks more you will get it plus a personalised CD of cover songs by your's truly!" Chris plugged showing a plastic replica while sitting in the Confessional.
"Wow plugging merch during the show that is in the shape of your own face? You really are modest Chris." Lori said shaking her head with her arms folded.
"Really? It kind of makes him egocentric to me." Leni said not understanding her older sister's sarcasm.
"Wish I could sell merch like that to make a killer..." Carl spoke with his grandfather nodding.
"Do I get something for finding it then?" Lincoln asked and Chris smirked nodding.
"Indeed you do... By finding it and bringing it to the Campfire Ceremony... You receive... Invincibility from being eliminated." Chris explained and their eyes widened as Lincoln was tossed the final marshmallow.
They blinked and it took a minute for this to sink in.
"What did I tell you Mija?" Rosa told her daughter with a satisfied nod as they began cheering.
"Lincoln manages to luck it out by finding a stupid trophy..." Lynn Jr said with a sigh of relief.
"Had us all sad there..." Lily spoke.
"You're still in Lincoln! You better take full advantage by winning it all!" Ronnie Anne cheered with a grin.
"Lincoln you are staying and Owen buddy; sorry but with 3 votes you are out of here!" Chris spoke as Ezekiel was cheering out loud with Gwen clapping for him.
"Good riddance." Lola spoke with a smirk.
"Wow really..." Lincoln said in awe and looked to Owen getting up. "Sorry Owen; here have my marshmallow.." Lincoln said apologetically to Owen giving him the marshmallow as Owen eat it and pulled him into a bearhug.
That did look painful but the Loud parents were proud of their son for being a good sport here.
"Oh thanks Lincoln! No worries about it; I have had fun and met a lot of friends!" Owen said as he finally let go and was escorted to the Dock of Shame.
"Well; he is certainly being a good sport about losing. Certainly nice despite some... Well disgusting attributes." Carlos said and it was agreed.
Courtney took a deep breath and said "this could be a blessing in disguise Lincoln; we could use your brains more..."
"No worries Courtney..." Lincoln with a shake of his head.
"Nice save there Courtney after throwing him under the bus like that earlier." Lynn Jr shook her head.
"So a second chance to stay in and show Gwen what you have!" Cody whispered into Lincoln's ear.
"I stood by you Link; you and me... We are going to the final 2!" Ezekiel said patting Lincoln on the back looking determined and everyone looked amused at his confidence.
"Yeah; let's see how that goes..." laughed Ronnie Anne as there were snickers at Ezekiel's bold and confident statement.
"Well he has made it this far at least." Bobby pointed out so who knows.
"You know what; if Homeschool somehow wins it all then I will eat Sergio's feathers!" laughed Lynn Jr.
"Thanks Ezekiel and Gwen for sticking with me; I wouldn't have understood if you had to be fair but I appreciate it." Lincoln smiled as Gwen smiled at him.
"Your definitely the more superior company and if I had to make a list of those here I like the most; I think I warmed up to you the most." Gwen told him and looked embarrassed as she went and kissed him on the cheek as there were gasps and Lincoln was red in the face.
There were eyes widening but Lucy slowly smiled as Ronnie Anne started cheering out loud.
"Besides... I would rather Owen not stink out the cabin tonight with the smell of expired beans." Gwen said as she then ran away chiding herself for being so forward.
They laughed at the good point that she had brought up earlier.
"My boy Lincoln getting the attention of two different girls who both kiss him on the cheek on the same day." Lynn Sr said surprised as most were amused by this.
"He gets the attention of 2 girls and I can't even get one!" ranted Carl with his arms folded as Frida tried to console her son saying that he will meet the one someday.
"Hope that they both don't find out about it; they still don't know about the other drawing..." Lana brought up concerned.
"The fates apparently told Dawn the right message; i should ask how to do the tea leaves thing so I can ask what do I do when I get kissed on the cheek by two different girls I may like on the same day!" groaned Lincoln holding his head in the confessional.
"I think it would have been more merciful if Lincoln had been voted off." Lisa spoke and most were not happy with her comment but couldn't exactly debunk the meaing as he was not in an easy situation.
"Maybe he should date them both; he had to go with 3 different girls to that dance at one point." Ronnie Anne spoke with Luna, Luan and Lynn Jr gulping.
"When did that happen?" Lily asked surprised with the rest of the Casagrande family shocked as well as the three didn't look their way.
Outside the Screaming Beavers' cabin the Beavers were watching as they saw their opponents at the cabin. "A stroke of luck saved Lincoln in the end... Glad too as I like Lincoln more than Owen. Owen is nice but... Mama said not to say something about someone if you don't have something nice to say about them." DJ said as Zoey and Dawn were glad.
They laughed at this and still DJ being nice.
"Glad too." Lightning said simply as he had gotten looks. "Magician boy was near instrumental in our first 2 defeats and him being out after a poor showing in dodgeball would not at all be satisfying to Lightning. Magician boy looks to be a formidable opponent and if Lightning is going to beat him and the Hamsters then Lightning must beat him on his A-Game!" Lightning clarified banging his fist onto his other hand as they took this in.
"Wow the jock considers Lincoln a worthy opponent despite his horrendous performance in the dodgeball game." Lynn Jr taking pride in that along with the others.
"That does mean that he will be gunning for Lincoln." Carlitos spoke gulping along with others but the older ones were sure that Lincoln would be fine.
"Glad to see you still in Lincoln!" Zoey cheered out and Lincoln smiled at her.
"Thanks for the support earlier Dawn... Guess the fates were right." Lincoln called out looking red and so did Dawn as they both looked away. Zoey looked confused as Dawn was covering her face.
"I kissed him on the cheek..." Dawn admitted as her teammates looked stunned but Zoey got over and was ready to squeal.
"Slow and steady Dawn; we are getting there..." Zoey cheered and Lindsay saw Lincoln going to a tree to gather his thoughts.
There were smiles from the Dawn supporters.
"Lincoln I must say congrats on staying in but Dawn just told our team something; did she really kiss you on the cheek?" Lindsay asked greeting him with a low voice as Lincoln sighed.
"Could we get her hit in the face by another dodgeball? Please?" pleaded Luan as they sighed at seeing her being up to her tricks again.
"It was nice while it lasted..." muttered Lynn Jr with the sentiment shared.
"So did Gwen after my butt got saved by this bust." Lincoln said showing off his wooded Chris bust as Lindsay looked surprised. "What am I going to do? You saw my drawings and I am not sure about how to go about this... I now see them both as friends but what if they both find out and this starts something... My sister Luna once had a song called a Stormy Love Triangle and I think it says everything about this predicament..." Lincoln explained looking like he was going to panic as Lindsay put his hand on his shoulder.
"Oh yeah; I have that song and it was Lincoln and Clyde that helped me come up with it." Luna brought up shaking her head as her song did fit Lincoln's predicament right now.
"I am sure that whatever happens; they will both value their friendship too much to ruin it for this. Just leave it be for now and I can help you with whatever you decide. How about this; if i get any ideas then I can share them with you?" Lindsay suggested and Lincoln smiled at her.
"Mama would ground me forever if I shouted out where I think she should stick her ideas..." fumed Ronnie Anne with her arms folded.
"Thanks Lindsay; another person here I can definitely count on for being a friend!" Lincoln told her and Lindsay smiled.
"This is getting really hard to watch..." Bobby groaned with nods at this; no one at all suspecting what Lindsay was like.
"I am genuinely glad that Lincoln is still here and not that disgusting Owen. I legit do like Lincoln a lot as a brother; you know one of those brothers you like to mess with for fun. Neither Gwen nor Dawn know yet of the other kissing Lincoln on the cheek or the other drawing that Lincoln did on the other girl so far. This is going to be a lot of fun." Lindsay giggled in the Confessional.
"Lincoln already has all the sisters that he needs! He doesn't need some harpy manipulating him!" snapped Lori ready to tackle the TV as they got her calmed down.
"I am scared for Lincoln and what Lindsay could do." CJ said and they had their fears as well.
"Could Lindsay end up making them both hate Linky?" Leni asked and they paused but there were shakes of the head.
"She will get found out sooner or later and I am sure that they are both smarter to realise if she tries to get them to be tricked of thinking badly about him." Carlotta said confidently along with the others joining.
"Seeing him kissed on the cheek by them both and finding out that along Dawn was Lincoln's first kiss 9 years ago." Luan said as that was still a shocker.
"To think that he kept this even from Clyde..." muttered Lori honestly impressed by this fact even if she still intended to give him what for.
Later Ronnie Anne was getting ready for bed when she got a message alert from Sid with a link; it was for a trending page for the Total Drama Island show and the top trending post: a compilation video from the episode of Lindsay getting hit by dodgeballs and it was made into a loop. "That was quick..." thought Ronnie Anne in her head as she laughed.
Had to make that reference to the Really Loud House even if I think this show is somehow even more hit and miss than the main show. The episode in particular is one of my 3 faves with the parent teacher conferences one and then my fave is the one with the dance.
