Chapter 6: The Sucky Outdoors
"Last time on Total Drama Island..." The camera turned on as Kris went over what happened last episode. "A talent contest brought out the worst in our campers. It was awesome! The Killer Bass struggled to find any talent on their team, and Bradley's clumsiness pretty much knocked out their best prospect, Curtis. Glen stood up to Heath, so Heath swore to make Glen's life miserable by stealing his journal. Then he read it in front of the entire viewing world, revealing that Glen has a secret crush on someone at camp. Then, Heath managed to save his butt by convincing the rest of the team to vote off Justice Beautifulton. I'll miss her so much by the way. Who will be the next one to walk off this crappy dock? Find out tonight in the most dramatic marshmallow ceremony ever! On TOTAL DRAMA ISLAND!"
*theme song*
It's morning, the campers are at the campfire, some sitting or standing, with Kris standing in front of them.
"Campers, today's challenge will test your outdoor survival skills. I'm not gonna lie to you. Some of you may not come back alive."
This made some of the campers worry, as Bert and Olivia gasped.
"Just joking. All you have to do is spend one night in the woods. Everything you need is at your team's campsite in the forest. You just have to find it." Kris pulls out a pair of maps from a green backpack, she tosses one to Heath and the other to Denica, and then hands them a compass. "Oh, and watch out for bears. Lost a couple of interns in pre-production. First team back for breakfast wins invincibility!"
Curtis grabs the map from Denica's hand. Heath is itching and glaring at Glen. Kris then blows the airhorn and said, "Well, off you go!"
"Did she just say there are bears up in here?" LeShawn said worriedly.
"I had a little encounter with a bear once. Let's just say his head looks real nice up on my mantle."
"Ooh! This one time, I saw a bear eating our garbage! He had old spaghetti noodles hanging from his big, huge teeth! It looked like blood and guts! It was so gross. And we thought he was eating the neighbor's cat Cuddles, but it turns out she was just lost for a week. Uh, you didn't eat spaghetti, did you? Good, let's go!" What Isaac said made Lenny both nervous and nauseated.
Glen was slumped down and looking at the ground as Trisha walked up to him. "Hey, Glen, wait up! Can I walk with you?" The guitar girl asked nicely.
"No..." Glen groaned as he looked away from Trisha, still feeling embarrassed.
"Look, if this is about that whole journal thing..." Glen's only response to Trisha was to speed up and walk away from her. Trisha sighed and slumped sadly in response. She may have been a little embarrassed about what Glen said about him, mostly because Heath read it out loud for everyone to hear. But if Glen really did like her, then she's very flattered, since she really liked him too. He's cool, mysterious, dark, handsome, and very poetic. Not many guys are poets. Even though things are apparently awkward for Glen, she wishes to talk to him about it somehow.
As the Killer Bass head towards their campsite, Kam and Sam's attention was brought to a redberry bush that everyone else passed by. "Look, man. Red berries." Kam said, pointing to the bush of fruit.
Sam gasped. "Oh man, I love red berries!"
"No way, me too! Red and sweet are good to eat!"
CONFESSIONAL - KAM & SAM
"Sam and I are like brothers." Kam informed the audience with Sam right next to him.
"Brothers forever." Sam said.
"We even got the chickenpox together!" Kam happily recall that memory.
"That was hella fun." Sam happily said.
"It was so great having someone scratch all your little scabs!" Kam said.
"I know, right?" Sam nodded in agreement.
"That goth freak is the next one to go." Heath growled as he glared at the back of Glen's head while scratching himself all over. His body still covered with faint bites from the fire ants.
"Why?" Trisha questioned while giving Heath a light glare.
"Why do you think?" Heath yelled back, pointing to the goth ahead of them. "He dumped Harriet's red ant farm into my bed! I know he did!"
"Well, you did read his journal out to the entire world." Trisha rolled her eyes in response. This made Heath stop where he was and turns around, staring harshly at Trisha. This made Trisha and the rest of the team stop, nearly knocking over each other.
"So what?" Heath growled, clenching his fists.
"So what?" Trisha repeated, putting her arms on her hips. Not at all intimidated by him. "That was pretty harsh."
"He is still going down! And that is a promise." Heath makes his threat clear to everyone before moving forward.
A few minutes later, Kam and Sam are resting by the trees, with their mouth smothered in red juices. "Oh man, they were the sweetest berries I've ever had."
"Damn right, they were sweet." Sam agreed, then he noticed their teammates are long gone. "Kam, where's the rest of the team?
"I don't know." Kam replied. "They must be nearby. Hey Killer Bass, where are you?!"
"Killer Bass!" Sam called out, then gasped. "This is just like when we were 7 and we lost our moms at the mall."
"And you started to cry and the security guards had to like, page our moms and they were so mad." Kam continued.
"Geez, they should have been watching us, and they're mad? At least we didn't get kidnapped." Sam finished. Followed by a moment of uneasy silence between them.
"Killer Bass, where are you?!" The bros screamed.
After a long hike, the Screaming Gophers have made it to their campsite, a mostly open area of the woods where supplies were waiting for them, such as a tent and sleeping bag.
"Uh..." Olivia laughs nervously. "There's no food here."
"This is a survival task." Trisha informed Olivia as she look over the piece of paper. "Look at the instructions."
"I wonder if there are any bears around today." Olivia asked as she walked up to Isaac. "Wouldn't it be funny if we made some bear sounds and then they came?"
Isaac laughed and agree with Olivia. "Ha, that would be so funny!"
"ROOOOOOAR!" Olivia let out in a deeper voice. "'I'm a bear!'"
"Would you please shut the hell up? I'm trying to read here!" Heath yelled rudely at Olivia, then looked back at the instructions he took from Trisha's hands. "It says we're supposed to find our own food." Heath scoffed and looked around the campsite, finding nothing edible. "I still don't see it."
"I think they mean in the woods." Trisha pointed out.
"I'll go! I'm good at finding food!" Olivia said, as she started walking into the woods.
"I don't think I'm that hungry anyway." Heath complained, having no faith in the fat girl finding anything to eat.
Meanwhile, Kam and Sam are still lost. They haven't spotted their teammates yet. All they see are trees, trees, and more treas.
"You don't know where we are, do you?" Sam asked Kam.
"Yes I do! No, I don't. It's not my fault, man. All these trees look the same."
"I knew I shouldn't have listened to you. You always do this." Sam groaned.
"What, you don't think I'm smart enough to find them?" Kam glares at Sam, crossing his arms.
"Well you're not exactly the best with directions." Sam told his bro as he takes off one of his sandals to brush off some dirt and pebbles.
"Yuh-huh, I am!" Kam argued.
"Nuh-uh! Apparently, you're not!" Sam argued back and started walking ahead of him. "'Cause we're lost! Like that TV show!"
Kam gives Sam the Italian salute when he wasn't looking.
Back to the Screaming Gophers, they set up their tent and the campfire. Now they're just sitting around, while Olivia hasn't come back yet.
"Oh god, I am so hungry." Heath loudly moaned.
"I think my stomach ate my stomach." Isaac painfully groaned out.
"Yo!" Everyone turned to see a pizza delivery guy show up. "Who ordered the pepperoni, extra cheese?!"
"It's for the camera crew! Over here!" said the cameraman waving his hand, which got in front of the camera.
Heath gasped and glared. "Hell no! Why should they have pizza and we have to search like animals?!"
"Because we're the contestants?" Glen stated obviously, not taking his eyes off his journal.
"(BLEEP) you, Twilight!" Heath yelled, still pissed at the goth for the ants. Glen just rolled his eyes.
Then the campers hear the bushes rustling. Olivia comes out, carrying a bunch of average-sized fish tied together in a rope. "I am woman! I bring fish!"
"Are you kidding me?" Heath said in disbelief. The fat girl actually pulled it off.
"Aw man, you're awesome." Trisha complimented.
"Oh, I love fish! I love fish!" Isaac said as he sank his teeth into the raw fish, making everyone gasp and cringe with disgust. Isaac quickly realize this and took the fish out of his mouth. "I... I guess we should cook it first."
"How do you know how to fish?" Heath demanded Olivia.
"My grandpa taught me. I caught a shark once; it bit me in the butt." Olivia told everyone, before turning around and bend over. "Check it out."
Olivia pulls down her shorts to reveal the scar, making most of the Gophers react with disgust. Except for Isaac, who stares at it with amazement. "That is so awesome!"
Night has fallen over on the island, Kam and Sam are still lost. Their feet are really sore, and walking in sandals all day didn't help. And they're still arguing.
"Well, at least I know how to drive, you... you have-to-walk guy. Now who's smarter?" Kam said.
"Trip to the beach last year ring a bell?" Sam asked.
"Do you always have to keep bringing that up?" Kam asked annoyed. "Though I did look rad in those swim trunks that day. Ha."
Sam stopped walking to face Kam. "You drove my dad's car into a snack shack!"
"It was totally in my blind spot!" Kam crossed his arms. A couple of squirrels are watching them from a tree branch and started laughing at their fight, even mocking them. "Whatever! If it wasn't for me, you'd be riding the bus to the mall!
"Well, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to find your way to the mall!" Sam yelled back at Kam.
"Oh, I know my way to the mall, dude!" Kam claimed as he got into Sam's face.
"You lean on me! If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't even be on this show!"
"You're just saying that because I'm the handsomest, skinniest and have a good complexion! And you're just short and chubby. That's why the girls like me better!" Kam said arrogantly.
Sam gasped at that. "That is low, man!"
"Well, it's true." Kam said with a smug. "Everyone at our school thinks so."
CONFESSIONAL - KAM & SAM
"Sam has quite the charm with the ladies." Kam claimed as he points at Sam next to him.
"Well you do have the best pick-up lines." Sam said back to his bro.
"We're a couple of good-looking guy, aren't we?" Kam said with a smile.
"Don't you love that we can say that to each other and not let it get over our heads?" Sam asked his bro.
"I love that about us!" Kam said happily.
"Me too!" Sam exclaimed.
Suddenly Sam screamed and jumped at Kam. Now the two started rolling on the ground fighting each other, with punches and kicks. Sam then sits on Kam's back and headlocks him. Kam tries to pull Sam's arms off his head, but manage to free himself by grabbing a handful of fresh mud and hit it on Sam's face. This distracts Sam long enough for Kam to jump at Sam, leading to more punches and kicks. After a few minutes of fighting, they got tired and lay on the ground, panting for air, covered in bruises and dirt. Then they stood and wipe off the dirt from their clothes.
"That's it, dude!" Sam yelled as he walks away from Kam. "We are so not bros anymore!"
"Fine!" Kam yelled as he started walking.
"FINE, INFINITY!" Sam yelled in retaliation.
As for the Killer Bass, they've finally reached their campsite. After reading the instructions, they're quick to set up camp. Currently, Bradley and Georgia are setting up their tent. Denica and Harriet are setting up the fire, with Harriet doing all the work. DJ went out for food. Curtis is essentially supervising everyone and making sure everything was going well. None of them seem to notice Kam and Sam are missing.
"Whoa, bra. You pitch a tent like a guy!" Bradley complimented Georgia, which came out wrong. Crickets chirped in the silence.
CONFESSIONAL - BRADLEY
"'Wow, you pitch a tent like a guy.'?!" Bradley facepalmed himself.
"I mean, you're not all girly about gettin' dirty and stuff." Bradley tried to explained.
"Uhhh...Thanks, I guess." Georgia said.
"Do you know if dinner's ready, Denica?" Curtis asked.
"What am I, your apron-wearing housewife?" Denica glared.
"No, I..." Curtis stuttered.
"Hey guys, look what I found!" DJ announced her return, holding a cute little coughing bunny.
"Well, I've never had rabbit stew before, but what the heck? I'm game." Denica said as she and a few other walked up to DJ.
DJ gasped by that remark, and pulled the rabbit away from everyone protectively. "This is not dinner, this is my new pet! I'm callin' him Bunny!"
"You couldn't find any food?" Curtis asked, then sighed. "Then it looks like we're eating grubs and berries for dinner."
"Has anyone seen Tweedledee and Tweedledumbass?" Denica asked, referring to Kam and Sam.
"Kam, look." Sam pointed out with a smile as he looked at a metal fork stabbed into a tree. "It's the tree with the fork in it. That's good, right?!"
"No. It's not good." Kam said with a frown. "It's the same tree we saw two hours ago! We just walked in a gigantic circle!"
Hoot! Hoot!
They screamed in absolute terror at hearing the sound of an owl hooting. The two boys end up running into a cave and gasping for air.
"We'll be safe here until morning." Kam said.
Just then, a bat flies around Sam got screeching, making him run around until he hides into a corner of the cave. "We're going to die here. We're going to die here."
"Okay. Fire's hot. Fish are grilling. Tent is tenting." Olivia listing off the things around the campsite, as the rest of the Gophers relax around the campfire that's currently cooking their fish. Although Isaac appears to be nowhere in sight.
"Nice goin', girl." Trisha complimented Olivia. "Fish looking pretty good."
"Thanks, man. I owe it all to grandpa." Olivia said as she recounted all the times she and her grandpa went camping, fishinng, or hunting together.
"So you and your grandpa really fought a bear once?" Trisha asked, amazing at the idea that the big girl actually done so.
"Heck yes. It was the scariest day of my entire life." Olivia said as she proceed to tell her story. "We were out in the woods when we came upon the great beast. I tell you, he was ten feet high if he was a foot! And then he roared his terrible roar! ROOOOARR! We grabbed our shotgun. We knew it was either him or us. It was nothing personal, just the law of the wild. And then, bam! One shot was all it took to fell the great beast. We took his blood and marked ourselves to honor him. It was a good death."
"Yeah right." Heath rolls his eyes, not believing a word of Olivia's story. "There's no way you took down a ten-foot bear." Heath then noticed someone's missing. "Hey, has anyone seen the crazy redhead?"
"I think he had to take a wiz." Lenny said, remembering Isaac saying so.
"That was, like, over an hour ago!" Trisha stated, immediately standing up with concern. "Isaac! Isaac?!"
"Isaac the Gopher, where are you?!" Olivia called out loudly to the redhead boy.
Just then, the bushes started rustling.
Olivia laughs in relief. "Good. We thought we lost you there for a minute-" A large brown bear emerges from the bushes. "Great Pyramid of Giza!"
The bear growls viciously at the campers. Everyone froze with fear, with Cady peeing in her pants.
"We're all going to die!" Olivia screamed and runs in a panic around the campers. "We're gonna get eaten alive by a bear! Oh, the horror! Somebody help us! I want my mommy!"
Annoyed with Olivia's screaming and running, Heath tripped her. "The trees! Climb into the trees!" Heath ordered.
The Killer Bass are sitting around the campfire to get warm. Bradley is startled by an owl hooting. DJ was sitting next to him while holding Bunny noticed his discomfort. "Be cool, boy. It's just an owl."
Bridgette sighed. "Sorry. I just get real freaked out in the forest."
"This reminds me of this really scary story I heard once." Denica said, getting everyone's attention.
"Awesome. Tell it, girl." Georgia said, already interested.
"Are you sure? Because the story I'm thinking of is pretty hardcore." Denica warned.
"Ooh, we're so scared." Curtis said sarcastically with a roll of his eyes.
"Alright, you asked for it. One night, a lot like this one..." As the Killer Bass listens, they become deeply immersed and terrified. "So suddenly... They-they heard this tap-tap-tapping on the side of the car. The girl started to freak out, and by this time, even the guy was getting a bit scared. So he turned the car on and he stepped on it. When they got back to the girl's house, she opened the door and screamed! Because there, hanging from the door handle..." Denica said sinisterly. "was the bloody hook. They say that this killer is still alive, wandering these very woods. He could be just about anywhere, really. Maybe even right HERE!" Denica quickly pulls out a hook attached to her hand, causing the rest of the team to scream.
Curtis, Bradley and Harriet hid behind DJ since she's the tallest. Denica laughed evilly at them being so terrified.
"Denica, that was so not funny!" Curtis scolded as he walked up to the punk girl.
"Oh, yes it was! I just wish it was all on camera!" Denica then looked at the camera recording them. "Uh, oh wait, it is!"
"You are so vulgar." Curtis glared at Denica. "Do your parents even like you?"
"I don't know, Jumpy McChicken." Denica answered with a smirk. "I haven't asked them lately."
Suddenly a wolf howls in the distance, making Curtis gasped in fear and wrapped his arms around Denica. "Uh, don't worry, I'll protect you."
Denica looks at Georgia who gives her a wink.
The Gophers had safely climbed up a tree, away from the bear.
Heath, Trisha and Glen are on one branch. "So what do we do now?" Trisha asked Heath.
"Don't look at me." Heath told Trisha.
"It was your idea to climb the trees." Glen stated.
"Well, why don't you ask the bear-hunting expert?" Heath said. "Hey Olivia, what now?"
"How should I know?" Olivia asked, sitting on another branch by herself above them, clinging onto the tree for her dear life.
"Girl, you said you killed a bear!" LeShawn yelled. He's sitting on another branch with Bert and Lenny, opposite of Heath, Trisha and Glen.
"I was being theatrical!" Olivia stated.
"This is all your fault!" Heath yelled loudly at Olivia. "If you hadn't been growling like that, we never would've attracted him to our site!"
"Excuse me for living!" Olivia cries out and starts banging her head on the tree.
"Hey, hey, hey. Ease up on the big girl. She did bring us all that fish." Trisha defended Olivia. Just their luck, the bear is sniffing their fish still roasting on the fire.
"Hey! Lay off our fish!" Heath yelled at the bear.
"Oh no!" Lenny realized something horrible. "It's probably already eaten Isaac!"
"Then it shouldn't be hungry anymore!" Heath said, causing the rest of his teammates to stare at him in shock. "What? This is survival of the fittest. He should've just peed in his pants like Cady."
Cady, sitting on another branch above everyone else, looked down in shame.
Suddenly the branch LeShawn is sitting on begins to snap off, sending Leshawn falling to the ground screaming. Right in front of the bear. Everyone on the tree gasped.
"Dear Abby, he's going to die!" Olivia said.
LeShawn slowly backs away from the bear as it comes closer, until he backed into the tree, cornered. "Eh, nice bear. Somebody help me!"
"LeShawn, get up!" Heath screamed.
"Run, look out!" Trisha screamed.
"Don't move!" Glen screamed.
"Hey, are you okay, man?" A voice asked, coming from the bear.
"Uh, did that bear just ask me a question?" LeShawn asked his equally-confused teammates. They also recognized its voice, which is revealed to them when the "bear" removed its head and Isaac's head popped out, revealing to be the crazy redhead in a bear costume.
"Oh my goodness, I did not see that coming!" Olivia said as she slide down the tree.
"Okay, I'm so confused right now." Lenny said.
"What are you, some kind of freak?" Glen asked an obvious question.
"I thought it would be funny!" Isaac said laughing.
CONFESSIONAL - ISAAC
Issac is still wearing his bear costume. "Okay, okay, that was so funny, like 'Oh, it's a bear! Oh no!' And like 'We're all gonna die now! Help! Help!'" He laughed. "And I'm like, 'Rah! I'm gonna eat you!'" Laughing more. "Like I could actually do that! There's no way, okay?" He finished with laughing.
Back at the Killer Bass' campsite, they've all huddled together inside the tent. They're having difficulty sleeping, except for Denica. The wolf howling in the distance didn't help.
DJ noticed the surfer dude is constantly shifting and sat up. "What's wrong? Gotta go pee?"
"Like crazy, but I'd rather not leave the tent."
"Me neither." DJ said, holding a jar of her own urine.
Not wanting to know how DJ did it, Bradley mans up and walks out of the tent to find a place to take a leak. He got startled by a swarm of bat flying towards him and then past him. But then one landed on his face, making him trip next to the campfire, accidentally kicked a fire pebble at the tent. Burning it completely.
Back at the Gophers' campsite, the team finally have their fish dinner. Heath hands one to Isaac who's still wearing his bear costume, minus the mask. "Rockin' the fish sticks! Nice!"
The bushes suddenly rustled, and out comes another "bear".
"Heh. Wow, that costume is really good. I mean, I thought mine was good, but this one is like, really good." Isaac complimented.
"It's probably Kris trying to mess with us. Yeah, nice try lady." Trisha said.
"We know you're not a bear, dude." Olivia said, poking its nose. This made the "bear" growl.
"Uh, I don't know, Olivia. This one looks kind of real."
"Kris did say there were bears." Heath recalled. Everyone moved away from the possibly real bear except Olivia.
"Oh, come on, guys. They're just trying to see if they can punk us twice! This is not a real bear and I'm going to prove it to you." Olivia tried to pull its "mask" out, but only ripped off some of its... real fur. "Wow. That does look kind of real.
The bear stood annd roars at Olivia. Cady once again wets herself.
"Yeah. That's a real bear." Olivia realized, then screams. Everyone else followed her.
"Great. That's just great, Bradley! Now we have nowhere to sleep!" Curtis said.
"Yo, drama king. Relax, it's cool." Denica said.
"Cool? It's 'cool'?! Things could not possibly get worse!" Curtis said.
Drip.
Curtis felt a drop of water hit his head... followed by downpour. Curtis screams in frustration.
Kam and Sam are still in the cave, huddled together, while watching the rain outside.
The Screaming Gophers are once again up on the tree with rain pouring down on them, and a bear waiting below.
The Killer Bass sit under a big leaf being held up by DJ to keep them dry.
Due to the bear, the Screaming Gophers ended up sleeping in the tree. Definitely wasn't so cozy, as it left them with stiff backs.
"Oh! I think it's safe, guys." Trisha said, straightening her back. "The bear's gone."
"And the map." Glen said, holding a completely soaked and ripped map.
"'Kay, I don't know how raccoons sleep in trees, because I'm so stiff." Isaac said, still wearing his bear costume.
"They must be really limber." Olivia said, while stretching herself.
"You know what, psycho? I don't wanna hear another word from you or the bear huntress here." Heath said harshly at them. "If you two hadn't been acting like bear bait all night, we could have actually slept in our tent!" Heath scolded them.
A bird lands on their tent and started tweeting.
"SHUT UP!" The three screamed, making the poor bird drop to the ground.
"Is it morning yet?" Kam asked, as he and Sam just woke up.
"Ugh, I think that was the worst night of my entire life. It was even worse than the night I went out with that girl with the manky bad breath 'cause he ate garlic shrimp at that place." Sam noticed Kam shaking. "What?"
A bear shows up and roars at them. The boys screamed and ran off. The bears tuft of fur fall off its bald spot thanks to the fat girl.
Despite their bad night, Curtis is sleeping rather comfortably, thanks to cuddling something nice and warm. sighs happily and had his arms around Denica.
"Morning, handsome." Curtis's eyes snapped open as he looked and saw what he's cuddling was the delinquent girl who greeted him.
"Gah! You were snuggling me!" Curtis quickly stood up.
"Technically, you were the one cuddling me. I was just lying down trying trying to catch a few Z's." Denica stated with a smirk.
"You are such a harpy." Curtis insulted the punk girl as he walked off.
"I've been called worse." Denica shrugged, making Curtis growl.
CONFESSIONAL - CURTIS
"Okay, I just wanna say for the record, that I was totally asleep and therefore, unconscious at the time of the 'alleged cuddling' with said alley cat." Curtis uses air-quotes on "alleged cuddling". "So essentially, it never happened."
Kris was putting wood into the fire pit for the elimination ceremony tonight. Just then, the Killer Bass ran back to camp. "We're the first ones back!" Curtis cheered.
The Screaming Gophers arrived not too long after. "Oh no! They beat us here!" Heath aghast, then pushes Olivia to the ground. "This is all your fault, you big fat hippo!"
"Uh uh uh uh." Kris walked up to them. "Not so fast, Gopherinos! It seems that the Killer Bass are missing a few fish."
"Oh, you mean Kam and Sam?" Curtis asked. "I'm pretty sure they got eaten by wolves last night."
"Darn shame." Denica said, shaking her head. Not really upset about it.
As if on cue, everyone sees Kam and Sam coming into camp.
"We made it!" Kam said with enormous relief.
"We're safe! Holy crap, guys! We were totally lost and then got into a fight!" Sam explained.
"And there was this huge bear, and he was all 'Rahhhh! You're in my crib, so get out!'" Kam continued.
"And we had to run, and it was hella scary!" Sam finished.
"Hey Sam, I'm sorry what I said I about girls liking me more." Kam apologized to his bro.
"And I'm sorry I brought up the snack shack."
"And sorry I called you a bouncy-bubble-butt."
"What? You did?" Sam asked, not remember Kam ever calling him that in his life.
"Um... I think I was only thinking it." Kam sheepishly admitted.
"I'm gonna use that." Denica snickered.
"Ah, so what? We're alive! And you're my bro and I love ya, man!" Sam said, as he and Kam gave each other a hug and popped their foot.
"I love ya too, bro!" Kam said as they hugged harder.
Curtis clears his throat to get their attention. "You two finished your little bromance?" They nod their heads. "Good. Because thanks to you, we just lost the challenge!" He yelled, making the two boys flinched.
"Alright, Killer Bass." Kris said. "One of your fishy butts is going home. Gophers, you're going on an all-expense paid trip to... the Tuck Shop!"
The Screaming Gophers cheered, while the Killer Bass glared at Kam and Sam still in each other's arms.
The Screaming Gophers are relaxing in their hot tub in their swimsuits, with party music playing from their boombox.
"Oh, my gosh this is so good! I never thought chips could taste so good! I think I'm gonna be sick." Olivia suddenly vomits.
"That's gross, man." Heath said disgusted.
"That's better." Olivia said. "Whoo! The Screaming Gophers rule! Hey, gimme some of those chocodiles."
And so began the fifth dramatic elimination ceremony. "You've all cast your votes." Kris said as she held up a plate containing only 10 marshmallows with there being 11 of the Killer Bass. "The camper who does not receive a marshmallow must immediately hit The Dock of Shame, grab the Boat of Losers, and get the heck outta here. And you can't come back. Ever. Now. I can see you're all tired, so tonight, I'll just throw them to you. Savvy? Curtis. Denica." Curtis glares at the punk girl. "Bradley. DJ. Harriet." Her marshmallow hit her head before landing on her palms. "Georgia." She catches it with her hat. "Taylor. Bros." The boys hugged each other, realizing they're about to be separated. "This is the final marshmallow of the evening. Sam." Kris threw the last marshmallow towards Sam, but he didn't catch it.
"No! Why Kam? Why him?!" Sam yelled.
"This sucks!" Kam sadly yelled.
"I can't do this, man! I've never been anywhere without Kam! We have to stick together or I'm nothing without him!"
"Sam, listen to me, man." Kam said, as he grabs Sam's shoulders. "You can do this. You are brave and strong, and like, maybe even smarter than me. And plus, you're like, the funnest guy I know. You have to do it for both of us!" Sam respond by nodding sadly.
Kam and Sam hold hands until the Boat of Losers sails off, separating the two. Kris, Cady, Georgia, DJ, and Bradley stood near Sam at the dock, with the latter four looking on with sympathy.
"I miss you already, man!" Sam cried.
"I miss you too, man!" Kam called out as he's getting further away.
"Bros forever!" Sam bumps his fist, like they did on their first day when they're briefly assigned to opposite teams.
"Bros forever!" Kam repeated.
"Bye!" Sam waves at Kam is now out of sight. But not out of mind, for Sam anyway.
Curtis is sitting on the steps of the cabin, sulking over his team's loss. And trying to swat the annoying moths around him. He noticed Denica walked up and sat ext to him
"What do you want now?" Curtis said to Denica.
"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry I scared you." Denica apologized with sincerity in her voice.
"I was not scared!" Curtis claimed, crossing his arms. "It was completely circumstantial. And there is no such thing as a hook man."
"Yeah, you're probably right." Denica said, then draws out her hook again. "Or are you?!"
This made Curtis scream again, then growled angrily. "Ugh! You are impossible!" He walked away.
"He wants me." Denica said all cocky. Then puts her hands behind her head, accidentally poking herself with her hook. "Ah!"
Author's Notes:
The saying "red and sweet are good to eat" came from the Hey Arnold! episode "Roughin' It". I used to think it was "red is sweet, the good to eat".
I'm sure you readers know what TV show Sam was referring to.
I gave Geoff's awkward line to Bradley instead, since I want it to remain in some way.
