Total Drama Act I: The First Interlude (Reupload) Chapter 5: EP5: That Thing Called Fusion, a total drama series fanfic

Day #3 – Musimental's Variety Restaurant, 12:00 PM

Meanwhile in the island, Chris, Candela, Chef, Don, and the eight staff members were all eating in a local restaurant in the island.

"So, did anyone bring the camera?" Candela asked as she was eating her bowl of soup.

"No, I don't think so." Don munched on his cheeseburger. "I don't wanna end up in paparazzi."

"Well what if they see our faces?" Chris asked him whilst twirling his fork on a bowl of carbonara.

"Then we're doomed?" Hah asked and sipped on his pineapple juice.

"No." Dustin smirked and sliced some chocolate cake to his plate.

"I think we should film the intro here." Candela suggested. "While there's no one eating right now. Who knows, after like, ten minutes, this restaurant would be swarmed with hungry townsfolk."

"Great idea." Don got out the camera from his bag. "Hey Dean, got the tripod?"

"Yep." Dean nodded and left his bowl of spaghetti to fix the tripod in front of their table, with the help of Noah and Maya. The four hosts stood up while the eight staff members stood to the side.

"Welcome, viewers!" Chef greeted as soon as the video started filming.

"Today, we are here at Musimental's Variety Restaurant for our lunch, where the cheeseburgers here are about twice the size of Eden's head!" Don laughed at the camera.

"Ugh." Chris smacked his forehead. "Do you really have to say that?"

"Yeah, do you really have to say that?" Eden asked, clearly annoyed. "It's not even necessary!"

"Shh!" Mara hushed all of them at once.

"Uh, guys?" Louiza tapped Chris on the shoulder. "There's someone coming."

"That better not be paparazzi." Don frowned. "Assholes…"

"Ey, Chris!"

It was Topher, looking a lot like Chris now. Instead of having his dirty-blonde hair, he actually had the guts to dye it black…

"Ah, it's Topher! One of the guys who actually respects me…" Chris smiled as he shared a high five with the latter. "Team ChrisTopher will soon strike into another season, right Candela?"

He nudged the hostess.

"I thought I was gonna be the host!" Topher laughed, trying to imitate Chris's laughter.

"Oh, yeah… right… So it's you and Chris 2.0…" Candela smiled sheepishly. "What brings you here?"

"I'm the guest for this episode, right? Plus, I have some surprises for you, Candela. Wait till the show starts." Topher told her. "It's what me and Chris 1.0 talked about."

"1.0? Since when did you call me that?" Chris raised an eyebrow.

"In my contacts list." The Chris wannabe crossed his arms.

"Really? The only surprise I know for the episode are the votes for the special performances but…" Candela scratched her head. She wasn't an easy person to persuade, and not even the others like that fact about her but they shrugged it off anyway. "Welcome to Episode 5 of Total…!"

"Drama!"

"Musical Impact!"

"Now that's what I can call fusion!" Topher confidently points at the camera, making Don do a loud smack on his face, annoyed at the fact that he was so much like Chris.

"WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE HIM!" He pointed at the guest.

Total Drama: Musical Impact

Episode 5: What I Can Call Fusion

"Should we still talk about strategy? The others do it, but I find it a bit too frustrating."

Contestants Room #8 (Clayton and Arreis)

Both teens yawned as they entered their room. They overslept a little with Kimmie, so they missed breakfast and were about to miss lunch. Their room was still completely quiet, with the power still not coming on. What could've happened?

"Y'know…" Clayton stretched. "I honestly think that Candela's trying to prank us with this awful no-power room."

"How could you say that?" Arreis tilted her head.

"Just go to the fact that our room is the only room with no power." Clayton emphasized. "This has got to be some kind of disadvantage."

"Disadvantage?" Arreis tilted her head to the other side now. "What the hell's that supposed to mean?"

They both stared at each other like that for a while, before the emo shook his head.

"Stop looking at me like that." He snapped. "You look creepy. Like some Sierra duplicate or something."

Arreis' brain burst into a million pieces. "I am not-… sorry…"

"Eh, bad stuff happens." Clayton shrugged.

Silence.

"So, like what should we do?" Arreis asked, breaking the silence. "Should we tell the maintenance or something?

"I think we should." Clayton nodded.

"I'm still sleepy though!" Arreis complained. "Sleeping in Kimmie's room wasn't really helpful since Kimmie herself was moving in her sleep!"

"Is she?" Clayton raised an eyebrow.

"Well, maybe in my dreams, but still!" the latter crossed her arms, and the emo sprinted out of the room to the maintenance office, making Arreis ran after him. "Hey, wait! WAIIIIIIIT! I SAID YOU WAIT UP, YOU IMPATIENT ELMO- I MEAN EMO!"

The camera fades to black.

Confessional: Dark down there

Clayton (Piano): I demand an explanation!

Arreis (Forte): I demand the power on again!

End confessional

Harmony River, 1:00 PM

Meanwhile, Amanda was sitting at the grass, staring at Harmony River. Whilst throwing pebbles on the body of water, she felt a finger tapped on her shoulder.

"Hmm? Oh, what is it?" Amanda turned back to what she was doing and didn't bother to look up on Sal.

"I uh-"

"Now you're apologizing?" Amanda eyed him.

"Listen Amanda, that's not the real me you saw back when we were in the Rhythm Repeaters. I just kinda got pissed with Spear," Sal scratched his neck in embarrassment. "And I guess I'm guilty for dragging Meredith in the mess too."

"You are." Amanda nodded. "Big time."

"So, yeah. You can say that I'm apologizing." Sal chuckled. Amanda did too. "Anyways, sorry for all the mayhem I caused yesterday and the day before that…"

"Etcetera, etcetera…" Amanda cracked up.

"You're so terrible at jokes." Sal punched Amanda's arm lightly.

"Hell yeah I am!"

When the two finally sighed and calmed down, Sal sat down next to her.

"You should be apologizing to Spear and Meredith. Especially to Meredith. I heard from Gabe last night that she got depressed." Amanda remarked.

"Huh? Oh no…" Sal smacked his forehead.

"Maybe all the former Repeaters since you even confused Arreis, but I think she's in still asleep." Amanda added.

"Yeah, I should." Sal got up and turned to Amanda. "Thanks for being someone to talk to."

"Anytime." Amanda smiled.

Confessional: Those times when villains aren't actually villains…

Amanda (Forte): At least Sal went back to his good side. Maybe he can shake this up.

Sal (Forte): I have OCD. But that's not why I got into this stupid personality. I think because my brain just took over my mind. Not a joke? Don't laugh at me then.

End confessional

Instrument Hills, 1:03 PM

In the hills, Evander was walking around in circles for some reason and bumps onto Robert.

"Hey, watch where you are going, you idiotic buffoon!" Evander screeched.

"I'm not idiotic!" Robert huffed and pumped up a fist. "I'm not a buffoon either!"

"Oh yeah, you wanna fight?" Evander readied his own fist but then suddenly changed the subject. "You know, I like your style. You look tough and strong so-"

"I should be a part of your alliance?" Robert finished. "No way."

"I don't even have an alliance! Everyone who was supposed to be in my alliance is in the other freaking team! Get it?!"

"Yup, I get it. If you want help, go get help from someone your own size, I guess." Robert was about to walk past him but gets stopped by Evander who abruptly placed his own hand to the other teen's chest. "What?"

"Vote with me or come to the theater with a black eye." The beefhead threatened.

"Fine." Robert sighed. "But who though?"

"Obviously Faith. She was a weakling back when there were three teams so don't you think she'll still do it here?" Their conversation was starting to get serious into strategy.

"Hmmm, maaaaaybe…" Robert nodded very, very, very slowly.

"What's with the slow nod?" Evander asked him randomly. "It's pathetic."

Robert's serious expression suddenly turned into a frown and just shrugged.

"Oh well." He got up and left, leaving Evander completely confused.

Confessional: Align with me not

Evander (Forte): In full honesty, Robert looks like I person I can befriend because of his strong attitude, even if he does look weak in my opinion. But I think I blew up the conversation. Which in my opinion, was incredibly stupid.

Robert (Forte): Should I trust Evander? I mean, I still need the complete thought of 'should I vote Faith or not' but there hasn't been that much proof since day one, so I have no idea.

1:15 PM, Dorm Building

Gabe was on the hallway, knocking on to Olivia and Sal's room.

"Hello-"

The door opened.

"Grrrreetings, Gabe." Olivia smiled. "What brings you here in this tremendous day?"

"I need to have a word with you. Do you mind if I come in?"

"No, not at all!" Olivia urged him to go inside. When they were in, the easy goes sat on the armchair, looking completely flustered. "What with that muddled look?"

"I need you to help me." Gabe told her. "Meredith's gotten into depression and who wants to see a person whose roommate is sad every day?"

"So, do you neeeed me to make her contented? Sure." Olivia nodded. "Why me though?"

"Well, because I know that you're one of her friends and because you're actually one of the good kids so of course that's the reason why."

"Okaaaay…" Olivia waited for a while for an idea to churn up her head. "I'll see to it that I'll deliberate an idea."

"Thanks." Gabe smiled, stood up and went for the door.

Confessional: Cheer up, cheer down

Gabe (Piano): Honestly, I have a bad feeling about this.

Olivia (Piano): Scrupulously, I don't have an inkling.

End confessional

Musical Valley, 1:30 PM

Xavier and Mairead were talking in Musical Valley since there wasn't really anything else to do.

"So you're from a choir?" Xavier nods. "That is nice."

"Yeah, what do you do before you entered Musical Impact?" Mairead asked. It was obvious that the two were getting to know each other more.

"I uh, watch rap a lot." Xavier answered.

Silence.

"Should we still talk about strategy? The others do it, but I find it a bit too frustrating." Xavier chuckled lightly, breaking the silence.

"No, we should just chill out for the moment." Mairead smiles and lays down on the grass.

"Hey!" Kimmie calls out to them, making Xavier look up in surprise. "What's shaking?"

"Nothing, really. Just chillin' out. Wanna chill out too?" Mairead motioned Kimmie to site next to her.

"Sure."

The three were now seen laying down on the grass.

"So, the hosts mentioned there'll be more performances…" Kimmie paused for a bit. "And special performances…"

"I do not want to hear more details." Xavier told them.

"Why?" Mairead asked him.

"We'll be doing that in impromptu, that's for sure." He replied.

"But don't we always perform in impromptu?" Kimmie eyed them.

"Yeah, but I just have this feeling that this will be different." Xavier shrugged.

"At least we still have some time to relax anyway…" The three all said in unison.

"Um…" Kimmie looks at them awkwardly. "Do you mind if Gabe, Olivia, and I join your alliance if you have one? We're in a bit of a pickle right now, and I'm not sure if the others would let us in if they have an alliance so you guys are my best choice."

"Sure!" Mairead nodded. "We could use some more members."

"Plus what's the point of having an alliance with only two members?" Xavier added.

"You guys have a point."

Confessional: Look at later

Kimmie (Piano): I'm glad Mairead and Xavier let me in their alliance. I wouldn't have to worry so much with Gabe and Olivia anymore since I'll invite them too. I have a secret plan on taking Meredith out to be honest. She kinda seems like a liability to me.

Mairead (Piano): Like I said, we could use some more members so having Kimmie, Olivia, and Gabe in could win us the majority of votes.

Xavier (Piano): I still have a bad feeling about those performances the hosts are talking about…

End confessional

Musimental Theater, 1:40 PM

Faith was in the hallways of the theater, just touring around for a bit until she heard some music. It was coming from a… guitar. Interested in it, she went to go find out who it was.

"I've never heard any music coming from a guitar before since middle school, but I have a feeling I know who it just might be…" the percussionist told herself as she went for the theater room. Once she entered, she was surprised to see who it was.

"Hey, Faith!" Vivianne smiled at her and patted a spot next to the latter for her friend to sit down.

"Were you the one playing that guitar?" Faith asked as she sat. "It's good."

"Um, yeah. I thought you already know?" Vivianne said as she strummed a string from her favorite instrument. "Ever since I was a part of a band, I always play this baby."

"No way." Faith chuckled. "I thought you were some kind of dancer or something."

"I dance too but this is what I do in my free time. I don't usually do it, but still, I've gotta practice it as long as I'm here." Vivianne told her. "Who knows, there might be a challenge when we have to play an instrument."

"I'm only good in drums though." Faith replied. "I can't really play anything else but drums and beatboxers and all that chizz."

"Still, you've got some talent." Vivianne patted her shoulder.

"Yeah, I can respect you for that."

…

"Y'know I think we should prepare for later. This place may get crowded soon." Vivianne said and the two exited the theater room.

Confessional: Instrumental friend

Faith (Forte): I'm glad I made a friend like Vivianne. She is like, literally one of the only people I can talk to and is like me. Knowing that she knows how to play the guitar made me like her even more as a friend, which is a good thing, right?

Vivianne (Forte): My alliance with Faith is obviously more than just an alliance. I'm already friends with her, and I'm ready to help her whenever I can.

End confessional

Clef Cave, 1:50 PM

Meredith was all alone in the cave. She wanted to distant herself from everyone after all those incidents with the late Rhythm Repeaters.

"This is your fault!" she suppurated quietly that no one can hear her. "If you'd just listen to Angel, then you wouldn't be in this mess…"

"Oh, really?" Spear approached her. "Wait, what do you mean you should've listened to Angel?"

"Meredith looked up at him, quickly wiping her face to make it seem like she wasn't crying. "You do remember Angel McTroope, right? Our classmate back in ninth grade who got into a car accident?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, she already knew for a long time that I really wanted to join into a contest like this. But she told me not to because it could change the way I am, and she believes that it won't be good." The historian explained."

"Oh." Spear nodded. "I heard from Amanda that Sal has changed his ways. He just apologized to her a while ago. He did the same for me and Arreis just now and he asked me where you were so here I am, looking for you."

"You know Spear," Meredith looked up to him. "I appreciate everything that you did, in all those years, ever since you, your siblings, and Sarah decided to team up with us against your uncle."

"You really do miss Sarah, huh?" Spear smiled, a small hint of red growing on his face.

"And you still really love her, don't you?" Meredith grinned. "You've been dating her for two years now."

"Yup… and I think Sal really needs to talk to you. He'd kill me if I come back without you, hehehe…" Spear chuckled.

"No, I think it could wait. I just want to eliminate all those harsh words he said off my head." Meredith crawled up on the hard floor.

"I understand." Spear nodded and head off. "Well, see you at the theater."

"See you too."

Confessional: Love and forgiveness

Spear (Piano): If you must know, Sarah Foster is my girlfriend that I've been dating since ninth grade. Meredith really reminds me of her because of her attitude, especially that significant time when Sarah and I broke up and got back together again. I'm glad that Meredith is still on my team.

Meredith (Piano): Honestly, I couldn't believe it when I heard the words 'Sal really needs to talk to you'. I really hope he really did change and it's not one of Spear's jokes. I've known Spear since middle school and he is known to be a joker.

End confessional

Musimental Theater, 2:00 PM

Once again, the audience arrived at the theater, booming as usual.

"You know," Chris began. "Is there ever gonna be an episode when no one is actually cheering when we're on the stage?"

Everyone stopped cheering because of Chris's statement.

"Ugh, way to go, Chris. You've completely killed the mood." Don rolled his eyes sarcastically.

"No I didn't!" Chris argued back.

"Yeah you did!" Candela laughed. "You should've seen your face!"

"How am I supposed to see my face when my eyes are a part of my face?!" Chris grumbled angrily.

"Chris. Chill out and use that coconut in your head." Chef attempted to calm the sadistic host, using a term people would use when they try to convince someone to use their common sense.

"You know what, this is not helping." Don told them.

"Hello everyone!" Candela waves at the audience. "Today, we are going to start our program for Episode 5!"

"HIT THE THEME SONG!" Don, Chris, and Chef shouted in unison.

"I don't think that's the correct term." Was the last sentence heard from Candela before the screens show the theme song.

*Opening Theme*

Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine

We get an overview of the theater which showed Candela, Chris, Don, and Chef bowed as they finished a performance. The crowd applauded as well.

You're always on my mind

The scenes changes to the lobby, where Oli was flirting to Amanda and Vivianne but eventually receives a slap from both of them. The two girls left instantly while the boy just shrugged.

You asked me what I wanted to be

The camera then pans out to the backstage where Mairead was busy reading a book. Arreis then comes out of nowhere and scares the preppy girl, causing her book to fly towards the camera.

And now I think the answer is plain to see

The book hits the camera and falls off, revealing the scene to be outside the theater. Clayton is seen sitting on the bench playing his phone and Xavier sitting distantly from him. None of the two were making interactions until they both left.

I wanna be famous

The camera heads for a challenge location, Musical Valley, where Sal, Olivia, and Meredith were flying a kite. The kite then hits a tall tree and gets stuck, making the three contestants frown.

I wanna be a rising star

The scene changes to Instrument Hills and Kimmie is seen sitting down on the grass, enjoying the view she got. In less than a second, Faith accidentally bumps her as she was getting away from Evander who was chasing her. The three all fell and rolled down the hill.

Go pack your bags, I've already gone far

The camera pans out to Harmony River where Samuel, Spear and May were arguing. Later on, a bird hits May's head making her gasp in shock and falls into the rushing water. Samuel grabs her hand to save her but fails and falls with her. Spear however, just cackles but lost his balance and fell as well.

Everything to prove, what can you say?

Later, Gabe was now seen resting on a rock in Clef Cave, but Robert accidentally trips over him. Unfortunately for them, a horde of bats start to chase them, making the two run out of the cave for their lives.

I'll be there one day

After a few minutes, Gabe returned on the cave with Samuel, Faith, Evander, Kimmie, and Olivia. They all attempted to make a fire but failed since the bats came back. They all ran away in horror.

'Cause I wanna be famous

Mairead, Clayton, Vivianne, Xavier, May, and Robert were now seen having a picnic on Instrument Hills but it suddenly rained and the six ran away, leaving everything behind.

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!

The camera pans back to Musical Valley, where Arreis, Oli, Meredith, Amanda, Sal, and Spear were running away from a pack of wolves.

I wanna be (a star!), I wanna go far, I wanna be famous

Fast clips of the contestants one by one can be seen. The clips show them waving at the camera or doing their respective poses in various places.

I wanna soar (high!), and reach for the sky, I wanna be famous

The hosts can be seen arguing until a spotlight hits them, making them realize that they were on the stage. Luckily though, no one was there except for them.

*whistling in tune*

After a few minutes, all twenty two characters can be seen on the stage for their cast picture. When the camera flashes, the logo of Total Drama: Musical Impact appears with a white glow behind it and several musical notes around it. The blurred cast picture served as background.

*End opening theme*

"Right now, we're going to introduce to you some special guests toda-"

Chef was cut off by a puzzled Candela.

"Guests? I thought there was only gonna be one guest!"

"Iiiit's Topher!" the other three hosts shouted, ignoring Candela's remark.

Topher came in, wearing his usual Chris 2.0 outfit and wave to all the people watching.

"Good afternoon, folks of Musimental Island and to everyone who is watching this on channel 32, National TV!" Topher nods and continues. "Today, I have the results of the special performance votes! But before that, let's welcome our former two contestants of Musical Impact, Kimberly Quetzal and Oliver Greene!"

Oli and May entered the scene. Oli wore his formal suit and May wore a blue formal dress. The two were then gestured to their seats while the audience applauded.

"And now, the moment you've all ben waiting for… we will first announce the performer of Team Piano, so all members of that team, please come up on stage!" Topher announces.

Kimmie, Clayton, Mairead, Xavier, Meredith, Spear, Olivia, and Gabe went up the stage. They all seemed nervous and unsure of what to do.

Candela, Don, Chef, and Chris walked over to Topher to help him on the announcing.

"For having 0% votes, we have…

…

…Mairead and Kimmie! Better luck next time, girls." Don told them as the two nodded and head back to their seats.

"Next, for having 2% votes, we have…

…

…Spear!" Candela announced as the green haired boy sat down. "Still too far though. For having 5% votes on them are…

…

…Xavier, Clayton, and Meredith!"

The three looked shocked at the same time, a bit disappointed since they weren't performing but hey, without performing in the episode, there's not much too worry about, right?

"And our performer in Team Piano, having 7% votes is…

…

…Both of you. Gabe and Olivia."

The crowd gasped.

"How's that possible?!" The interns all asked.

"Because anything is possible."

No one laughed at Topher's pun.

*not intended*

"Anywho, said aside for not being 'punny'…" Candela said, ignoring the laughs she got. "Gabe and Olivia, please make your way to the backstage for preparations. May we call on Team Forte!"

Evander, Amanda, Sal, Vivianne, Robert, Faith, Arreis, and Samuel all hopped onto the stage, eager to hear who's performing.

"With 0% votes on them are…

…

…Sal and Arreis!"

Arreis didn't really looked happy at this. Sal just shrugged, knowing that he had enough performances for now.

Confessional: Karma

Arreis (Forte): Ever since I joined here, I'm not seeming to get any luckier…

End confessional

"With 2% are…

…

…Samuel, Faith, and Vivianne!"

The three all had blank expressions and went off the stage.

"And for 5% we have…

…

…Evander and Robert! Which means Amanda will be performing, at 7%!"

"Are you serious?" Amanda said in a monotone voice as the other two mentioned boys went down.

"Next," Candela got ready for another round of suspense. "Are the staff groups! Please make your way to the stage!"

The eight staff members are all on the stage.

"With 10% votes on them, the staff members that will NOT be performing are…

…

…Louiza, Eden, Dean, and Dustin! Which this could only mean that Maya, Mara, Hah, and Noah are performing at 13%."

"YEAAAAAAAH!" Maya screamed as if it was the last day on Musimental Island.

"Just get dressed orayt?!" Candela yelled. "And for the former contestants... one of them had 2% votes and the other has 13% votes. Our fourth performer for today is…

…

…our previous contestant that got eliminated six hours ago, May!"

"Oh my-" May gasped and then was led to backstage, leaving Oli totally confused.

"Wow, I really missed a lot."

"You sure did, bro." Topher patter his back.

"Before we get started on the performances, I want to show Candela the surprise I've been preparing." Topher snickered.

"I told you, what kind of surprise?!" Candela demanded.

"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise anymore." Topher scoffed. "Anyway, none of these guests are from Evergreen Expedition, Youth Generation, Elemental Charge, or canon since I'm the canon character for today."

He broke the fourth wall. He turned back to Chris, who nods, and continued.

"These three people have made a confessional earlier and will be shown to the audience today about their time being here." Topher continued. "Anyway, our second (since Topher's the first) guest slash judge is a contestant from Total Drama: School Challenge, a season involving 48 students from all over the world who entered the BRACAFOST WHO WATOWIMO (AKA British Academia for Students Who Want To Win Money). She is one of the only beat boxers in the season and is part of the team Yellow Ambers. Ladies and gentlemen, introducing, Faith Mariano! Oh and because there is someone else named Faith," Topher glares at *Felicity*. "We decided to simply call her as 'Pate'."

Pate entered the scene. She was an Asian girl with lightly tanned skin and black hair that reaches to her shoulders. She wore a beige short sleeved dress that reaches just above her knees and matching high-heeled sandals. She simply bowed to the audience and went to the judges' seats, where Topher motioned her to.

Topher nods and then carries on, leaving Candela extremely stunned about who the judges were.

"PENNYWISE!" Candela gasped, calling Pate by the nickname the she gave her, and was about to approach her but she was stopped by a guard. "UGH, WHY THE F*** DO I NEED A BODYGUARD!?"

She cursed, and Chris nodded, telling Topher to continue, again.

"Our third guest for tonight is a contestant from Total Drama: Time Tour, one of those seasons involving 'time travelling to the past'. This person is one of those 'hiding away from the spotlight' contestants and focuses on being a pianist and is part of the Screaming Vikings. Introducing, Alec Oracion Jr!"

The aforementioned was a tall boy standing about 5'10, and at the same ethnicity as Pate. He had short black hair swept to the side and wore a red tuxedo coat over a white dress shirt, black dress pants, black shoes, and a black neck tie.

As soon as Alex entered, Candela couldn't help but admire about how much her childhood friends grew since the years she's been with them. Alex however, was a different story, because she kept on looking at him dreamily until he reached his seat. Evander and Xavier looked kinda displeased with this.

Confessional: Love hurts, does it not?

Evander (Forte): Okay, I admit. I have a crush on Candela since day one. But at least it wasn't obvious right? Of course I'm angry about the fact that she keeps looking at that pianist.

Xavier (Piano): I actually find Candela very attractive, to be honest. Does that count as having a crush on her? Guess not. I just want to be friends. I don't mind if she and Alex ended up together but looking at Evander is making brain twitch for some reason.

Candela (host): I'm actually guessing Alieli Choi to be the last judge, but I don't know. I've met both Pate and Alex since I was ten years old, so it was kinda shocking to see they were the guests. I'm hoping that Pate kept her positive attitude, and Alex? Oh, he just grew more handsome than ever. *giggles*

Topher (guest): Do you not know that I can do a confessional too? Hahaha. So what got me this idea was that time when I talked to Chris about the new season and I want to have some guests accompany me for this episode of Musical Impact until this sneaky agent slash ninja here… *gets a picture of all the staff and points at (Eden)* just eavesdropped on our conversation and said that I should bring with me Candela's most closest childhood friends. I agreed and so does Chris so that's shabooyah to you.

End confessional

Candela suddenly shook the thought out of her head and listened to what Topher has to say. Chris nodded, signaling Topher to get going for the umpteenth time and Don and Chef were nowhere to be found(?)

"Our fourth and last guest is also from Total Drama: School Challenge. She is a poet who never wants to share her secret of burning up a library, and not-so-secretly, I just said it, and is part of the team Green Emeralds. Introducing, Alieli Choi!"

"I F***ING KNEW IT!" Candela screamed in pure joy.

Alieli came on the scene wearing a black elegant dress and had her black hair up in a bun. She was a Chinese girl who looked pretty smart since she wore glasses. But not all people who wear glasses are smart, right? Oh well.

For a rare time, she looked pretty pissed about the fact that Topher told the audience that she 'burned a library'.

"Do you seriously need to say that?!" Alieli fumed whilst going to her seat.

"And I thought you don't really talk to people." Pate facepalmed.

"Not exactly my point." Alieli's frown quickly turned upside-down as Pate gave a little chuckle.

"Now that FINALLY we have all our guests," Chris rolled his super tiny eyes around sarcastically. "we can listen to what they have to say, ESPECIALLY YOU, TOPHER!"

"Uh-huh." Topher laughs.

The screens change and show Topher in the confessional booth.

Confessional: Fusing Air and Music

Topher (Guest): Hey! Boy, do I miss this kind of confessional thing… so yeah. I came here because of that thing I talked about with the awesome Chris and I decided to bring it back to life! How does that sound!

Pause confessional

"SOUNDS AWESOME!" a fan yelled in the audience, as well as Dean.

"See, I told you it would sound awesome!" Topher looked at Don, who came back with Chef from the backstage, had his arms crossed.

"We got the microphones in the backstage." Don told the other hosts. Candela simply nodded.

"Let's look at the other confessional." Chef told them as the next confessional began to play. This time, the screens showed Pate.

Resume Confessional: Fusing Air and Music

Pate (Guest): Wow. To be honest though, going in Musimental Island gave me the creeps. Maybe because I missed the Bracafost Who Watowimo a bit too much? Oh well, good luck to those contestants!

Pause Confessional

"Why the hell's it even called the Barcode-Frost-Who-Watowhatever?" Eden, Dean, Dustin and Louiza all asked, incorrectly pronouncing almost every single phrase.

"It's BRA-CA-FOST-WHO-WA-TO-WI-MO!" Pate emphasized every single syllable.

Alieli and Alex both laughed at her for one thing.

"Bra."

Pate laughed along but slapped Alex for being a 'pervert'.

"Ouch!" He rubbed his cheek. "That's what you said!"

"You haven't even changed a bit." Pate scowled him as the screens changes to show Alex in the confessional.

Resume Confessional: Fusing Air and Music

Alex (Guest): It's actually pretty exciting to be here because of my love for music and NOT time travelling. Time travelling makes me nauseous, but I don't really show it, heh. What do the guests here even do anyway? Are we just for show or what? *slightly chuckles*

Pause confessional

"Sorry for the lame question." Alex scratches his head and turns red in embarrassment.

"Aww, he looks so adorable when he does that~" Candela cooed, making Evander a bit more upset but no one else heard her as she was interrupted by Chris.

"No, the guests here actually do something, but I won't spoil you all." Chris told them, and the screens transitioned to show Alieli about to do her confessional.

Resume Confessional: Fusing Air and Music

Alieli (Guest): Much like Pate, I missed the Bracafost Who Watowimo so much, since we had some memories there. But I'm kinda wondering why Pate, Alex, and I were the guests for today with Topher. Was he planning to hit us or something? I do not know.

End confessional

"I do not know." Alieli repeated what she said.

"I might be hitting you if you don't eat my shit." Topher rolled his eyes.

"Yuck." Pate gagged.

"No, I don't mean that kind of shit, I mean, judge this kind of shit." Topher rolled his eyes yet again. "Anyway, speaking of shit, we'll now present to you our special performances!"

"That kid says 'shit' too much." Chef remarked. "It's gonna make kids' ears bleed."

"For our first performer, we have May for our former contestants! Let's give her a round of applause!" Don says ignoring Chef's marvelous remark, and the crowd does so until the curtains fold open. Those who are not performing were seated on the front rows.

May was on stage, dressed in something… unusual. She wore denim jeans, black heels, a denim jacket left unbuttoned, exposing her black bra underneath it. She didn't wear any kind of shirt under the jacket, which made Samuel stare at her…outfit.

Confessional: Oh snap!

Samuel (Forte): I'm sorry for the language but I cannot help but stare at how May looked f***ing sexy in that outfit.

End confessional

Ignoring the look Samuel was giving her, she got ready to sing, as the music started playing with the beat.

"Lipstick and Polaroids
Late night hanging with your boy
Record player playing white noise
That's the way, that's the way I"

She flipped her hair, eyeing at Samuel for about half a second seconds before resuming.

"Like it when the stars are out
Drop top cruising out of town
You and me, it's going down
That's the way, that's the way"

Going to the pre-chorus, Alieli began to wonder at how such an awesome singer like May would get herself eliminated.

"Hold me down, I'll play your game
Kiss until I, I
I'm addicted to your everything, everything"

The stage lights flashed blue as May jumped on to the chorus.

"My body's tripping on you
Feeling higher than the moon
Got me trying something new
Falling into you, foolish
My body's tripping on you
Feeling higher than the moon
Got me trying something new
Falling into you, foolish"

Samuel whistled as May went to the second verse.

"Black nails and denim jeans
Every night feeling like a dream
Always know just what I need
That's the way, that's the way I"

Again, she flipped her hair like what she did earlier.

"Like it when you play a little rough
Breathe you in, can't get enough
Keep it in, oh, I need a rush
That's the way, that's the way"

"Who's the singer of this song?" Mairead nudged Vivianne. Vivianne though, had no clue as she just shrugged.

"Hold me down, I'll play your game
Kiss until I, I
I'm addicted to your everything, everything"

This time, the lights turned green.

Confessional: Re-run

May (17th Placer): So I chose to sing 'Foolish' because well, it kinda fits me. You know, getting eliminated and all, but those looks that Samuel gave… *shudders*

End confessional

"Blurring all the lines, lost in paradise
Woah, woah
Baby stay the night, fading out of time
Woah, woah"

As May hits the final chorus, she looks at all her former teammates, as if she missed them(?)

The lights went back to the normal white as she finished the song.

"Falling into you, foolish
Falling into you, foolish"

"And that was Kimberly May Quetzal everyone!" Candela applauded as May bowed and went back to her seat.

"Next, we have Mara Garcia, Maya Parker, Noah, and Hah Shutape performing another song!" Don announces as the four went on stage.

Both Noah and Hah wore a white shirt, pants, tennis shoes, and a white cap to top their outfit.

Maya wore a black shirt, black jeans, boots, and a leather jacket.

And Mara wore a black skimpy dress with black sandals.

"Ready?" Chef said and began the music.

Maya went up and rapped in a waaaaay cliché manner that it almost sounded… wrong.

"**Uh huh, it's Maya Parker
I got one more problem with you girl
Aye"

Mara began singing her lines, almost sounding like Ariana Grande.

"Baby even though I hate ya
I wanna love ya
I want you you you
And even though I can't forgive ya
I really want to
I want you you you
Tell me, tell me baby
Why can't you leave me
'Cause even though I shouldn't want it
I gotta have it
I want you you you"

Confessional: High Notes

Mara (staff): Fun fact: I hate singing in high notes. I'm an alto, but I don't know why Maya made me sing this high.

Pause confessional

"Head in the clouds
Got no weight on my shoulders
I should be wiser
And realize that I've got"

Hah began singing, or rather, whispering his part, as the other three danced.

"One less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya"

Maya and Mara sang in unison.

"I got one less, one less problem"

Noah picked up the lines next as the music gradually began louder.

"One less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya"

The chorus ended with the girls.

"I got one less, one less problem"

After that, Mara sang her next part.

"I know you're never gonna wake up
I gotta give up
But it's you you you
I know I shouldn't ever call back
Or let you come back
But it's you you you
Every time you touch me
And say you love me
I get a little bit breathless
I shouldn't want it
But it's you you you"

Resume Confessional: High Notes

Mara (staff): Not again. Seriously.

Pause confessional

"Head in the clouds
Got no weight on my shoulders
I should be wiser
And realize that I've got"

Both Hah and Noah began (whispering) in unison:

"One less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya"

"WHOO!" Team Forte shouted.

"I got one less, one less problem"

"YEAH!" Team Piano chanted.

"One less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less, one less problem"

Maya suddenly jumped in front, eager to part her part.

"**It's Maya Parker!"

The audience laughed.

Confessional: Wrong Way

Maya (staff): Okay, okay, I'll admit it: that sounded like shit.

Hah/Noah/Mara (staff): *the screen split into three showing the three staff members laughing uncontrollably*

End confessional

"uh
What you got?
Smart money bettin', I'll be better off without you
In no time, I'll be forgettin' all about you
You saying that you know
But I really really doubt you
Understand my life is easy
When I ain't around you"

Maya laughed and took a breather for less than a second.

"**Maya Maya, too biggie to be here stressing
I'm thinking I love the thought of you
More than I love your presence
And the best thing now
Is probably for you to exit
I let you go, let you back
I finally learned my lesson
No half-stepping
Either you want it or you just playin'
I'm listening to you knowin'
I can't believe what you're sayin'
There's a million you's baby boo
So don't be dumb
I got 99 problems
But you won't be one
Like what!"

Resume Confessional: High Notes

Mara (staff): If I ended up becoming a singer, I am so gonna use autotune.

End confessional

"One less, one less problem
One less, one less problem
Head in the clouds
Got no weight on my shoulders
I should be wiser
And realize that I've got"

All four of them stepped in, getting ready for the last part.

"One less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less, one less problem
One less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less, one less problem
One less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less, one less problem"

"And that was our first group staff!"

The audience applauded as the four made their way back to their seats.

"Now," Chris says. "For these next performances, our four judges will begin their scoring for these next performers. This is to determine and see who has the Advanced Note and the Noisy Note. Let's welcome our first performer from Team Piano, Olivia Mims!"

Olivia enters the scene, wearing a white shirt, a beige jacket over it, skinny jeans, and brown shoes. Team Piano begin cheering.

"GO OLIVIA!" Meredith, Mairead, and Kimmie cheered.

"You can do this!" Xavier shouted.

"Win that Advanced Note for us!" Spear called.

"Uh, there's still Gabe, you guys." Clayton shrugged and changed the subject again. "LET'S GO OLIVIA!"

"LET'S GO!" Team Piano shouted for the last time.

Olivia smiled at all the cheers she's getting, as well from the audience, took a deep breath, and began singing as a piano played in the background.

"Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion"

She took another deep breath as the song intensifies.

"And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?"

"Yeah, we can!" Team Forte shouted but no one heard them as the chorus plays.

"This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me"

Olivia smiled, knowing that she's already halfway done, and she could win this for her team.

"Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
And it's been two years I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe"

"Go Olivia!" the audience cheered.

"And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?"

The crowd waves their hands to the song.

The music calms down as Olivia sings once more.

"Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion"

"C'mon!" she yells to the audience as they sing along.

"This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong)
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me"

Everyone calms down as she sang the final line.

"Know I've still got a lot of fight left in me"

Confessional: Audience Impact

Olivia (Piano): I did that, so my spectators' impression would advance. Doesn't that count?

End confessional

"Nice!" Chris clapped. "Judges?"

"It was really good." Topher nods. "But not that good enough."

Team Piano saddened up a bit.

"Okay. Pate?"

"Wow. I jumped a little when she was like 'C'mon!' and I didn't know what to do but overall, great performance." Pate smiled.

Olivia smiled as well.

"Alright!" Don nods. "Alex?"

"Well, I don't know what to say there."

Everyone eyed at the pianist.

"In a good way of course! Geez, why do you people keep on underestimating me?" he placed his hands on his face.

"Because you look funny." Evander murmured so softly that no one could hear him.

"What about you, Alieli?" Chris turns to the poet, who adjusted her glasses.

"Well, I think it's safe to say that Ms. Mims's performance here is quite better than Ms. Parker's rap." Alieli nods, making Maya facepalm in the background.

"Okay! Now, for the point tally! Each judge will give a score from one to ten, one being the worst, and ten being the best. Now, let's turn on the screens!" Chef instructed, and the results displayed.

Performer: Olivia (Piano)

Guest A (Topher): 5

Guest B (Pate): 8

Guest C (Alex): 8

Guest D (Alieli): 9

Total: 30

"Not bad!" Candela applauded, and the audience cheered as Olivia made her way back to her seat. Team Piano hugged her in return as the next performer got up.

"For our next performer, we have Amanda, from Team Forte!" Chef announced as Amanda went up on stage. She wore a white dress, a gold necklace, and had her hair curled up and almost looked like… Lorde.

"You can do this, Amanda!" Sal and Arreis cheered while Evander sulked in the background.

"She looks like Lorde." Faith and Vivianne said in unison. Robert and Samuel couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Amanda saw them and flashed up a peace sign. Then, she got ready to sing as a beat started playing.

"I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address, in the torn up town
No post code envy"

"My favorite part of the song." Candela squeals.

"But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair"

"She still looks like Lorde." Vivianne commented.

"And we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler
You can call me Queen B
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy"

Amanda got ready for the second verse but couldn't help looking at her teammates who were flashing thumbs-ups on her.

"My friends and I we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
We didn't come from money"

Candela began singing along for some reason.

Amanda jumps to the next chorus and begins walking around the stage.

Some of the audience are starting to call her Lorde 2.0, but in a good way.

"We're bigger than we ever dreamed, and I'm in love with being queen
(Ooh ooh oh)
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair"

Amanda jumps to the last chorus and like Olivia, the audience waved their hands in the air to the song.

Confessional: 2.0

Amanda (Forte): Is it just me or is the audience calling me Lorde 2.0? I don't take it as an insult, but maybe because of what I'm wearing? Whatever.

End confessional

"Judges?" Chef turned to them.

"Same as for Olivia." Topher said simply.

Amanda gave a 'tsk' sound.

"Pate?"

"It's okay. Not much of a Lorde fan but I like what you're wearing! It so fits you!" Pate complimented.

"So you're judging her outfit and not the song?" Chris eyed her.

"Of course I liked it!" Pate nodded.

"Alex?"

"It's alright." he shrugged.

"That's all you're gonna say?" Alieli raised an eyebrow to the pianist.

"My mind is blank." Alex shrugged again. "And if you underestimate me again, I will-"

"Alieli?" Don butted in.

"I'm not judging the performers' outfits unlike Pate here…" the poet eyed at the beat boxer. "Anyway, Amanda, your performance was splendid, and I liked it a lot."

"Alright, here are the scores!"

Performer: Amanda (Forte)

Guest A (Topher): 5

Guest B (Pate): 9

Guest C (Alex): 7

Guest D (Alieli): 9

Total: 30

"Oh dear…" Kimmie said, pointing to the scores.

"Olivia and Amanda are a tie." Sal told them.

"And if Gabe doesn't reach thirty points, then…" Meredith covered her mouth.

"Team Piano will get the Noisy Note and we get the Advanced Note." Vivianne finished.

"Our last performer, we have Gabe Johnson, from Team Piano!" Candela announced and soon enough, Gabe entered the stage, wearing a white formal shirt, black vest, black pants, and dress shoes.

"Gabe! Win this for us!" Meredith shouted.

"We're counting on you!" The rest of Team Piano called out.

Gabe nodded, determined to do this solo, and began singing.

"She said "I'll throw myself away,
They're just photos after all"
I can't make you hang around.
I can't wash you off my skin.
Outside the frame, is what we're leaving out
You won't remember anyway"

He tapped his foot to the beat as the lights flashed bright red.

"I can go with the flow
But don't say it doesn't matter anymore
I can go with the flow
Do you believe it in your head?"

He begins to dance as the audience claps to the beat.

"It's so safe to play along
Little soldiers in a row
Falling in and out of love
With something sweet to throw away.
But I want something good to die for
To make it beautiful to live.
I want a new mistake, lose is more than hesitate.
Do you believe it in your head?

He repeats the last chorus.

I can go with the flow
But don't say it doesn't matter anymore
I can go with the flow
Do you believe it in your head?

Gabe bows as he finished singing.

"Okay, judges!" Don announces.

"I LOVE IT!" Topher exclaims.

"Pate?"

"IDK." Pate shrugged. "I mean, the song was… weird but Gabe's voice really kicked it off so I don't know."

"Alex?"

No response.

"He's in the bathroom." Alieli laughed. "Anyway, I say it was alright, no prob."

"Okay, let's take a gander at the scores!" Chris points at the screens.

Performer: Gabe (Piano)

Guest A (Topher): 10

Guest B (Pate): 8

Guest C (Alex): 5 (because he wasn't able to give his comments)

Guest D (Alieli): 7

Total: 30

"What'd I miss?" the pianist asked as he went back to his seat.

"A lot." Alieli and Pate chuckled but Toper shushed both of them.

"You've gotta be f***ing kidding me…" Robert shook his head.

"So this means…" Candela tells them. "There will be no one getting the Noisy Note!"

Silent cheers from the contestants.

"But the Advanced Note goes to…

…

…Olivia!"

"YEAAAH!" Team Piano cheered.

"We gave it to Olivia because Gabe already had it last time. And because Gabe reach thirty points and broke the tiebreaker, it could only mean that Team Piano won because if Gabe had 29 points, Forte would have the Advanced Note. But to be fair, no one will get the Noisy Note." Candela explained.

Team Forte were happy and sad at the same time, but Team Piano was screaming with pure joy.

"And this ends our program! Thank you all for coming!" Don waves to the camera and the audience exited the theater.

"Well," Topher said. "We'll be off now. We still have some things to do."

"What things?" Pate asked.

"Oh you'll see." Topher smiles. "Goodbye, cast of Musical Impact!"

"See ya!"

The contestants, staff, and hosts waved.

"Get dressed, we're going to Musical Valley." Chris ordered.

As soon as everyone got ready, they all boarded the bus to Musical Valley.

Challenge Location #3, Musical Valley

"Aaaaand, here we are at Musical Valley!" Chris yells like a bird and exits the bus, as well as the others.

Musical Valley looked really calm, seeing two medium sized hills and a long path on the bottom of the valley, leading to Far Forest.

"Now, this is the five-phased challenge." Don tells them. "These will test your strengths and weaknesses. Finish one phase faster than the other team will earn you five points, and the other, four. The team with the lowest points will see me tonight in elimination. Kapeesh?"

"Kapeesh." The sixteen contestants nodded.

"Now, all of you, position yourself in the starting line." Candela ordered. "Stop running in the white line in Far Forest for Phase 2."

All sixteen contestants positioned themselves in the white starting line.

"Ready…" Chris says.

"Set…" Don says.

"GO!" Chef yells and Candela blows a whistle. The sixteen contestants began running as fast as lightning.

Phase 1 – Marathon – Musical Valley to Far Forest

"I don't like running." Spear panted, slowly lagging behind. Him and Arreis were now on the same speed but then, Spear stopped.

"Why'd you stop?" Arreis asked him.

"Shortcut." Spear pointed at a narrow pathway towards the forest. "Let's go."

Confessional: How Deep Is Your Trust?

Spear (Piano): Running is a pain to my feet, and this shortcut may solve my problem.

Arreis (Forte): I don't know if I should trust him or not, considering that he's on the opposing team. But hey, he used to be my teammate. Maybe he still has his wits after all.

End confessional

After that, the two arrived at the checkpoint. Candela was standing next to two targets. One for Forte, the other for Piano.

"Line up on your team's color." Candela ordered. Spear headed for the black line and Arreis headed for the white. "Wait for your whole team to arrive then we may now proceed to Phase 2."

Sal arrived, tripping on a rock.

"Crud!" he clutched his foot just as he was about to reach for the white line.

"Should we call the medic?" Candela asked him.

"No." he groaned.

Later on, Vivianne, Faith, Evander, and Gabe arrived, noticing Sal siting on a tree stump.

"Uh, what happened?" Gabe asked him and went to the black line while the other three went to the white one.

"Rock on foot." Sal answered.

After a few minutes, everyone except for Amanda and Kimmie were present.

"Where could those two be?" Candela tapped her foot.

Just then, both girls came in, Amanda running in barefoot as she reached the white line, Kimmie on the black line reaching her teammates before the other girl did. Team Forte smacked their foreheads.

"It's hard…to run… in heels…" Amanda panted, holding her high heels.

"Here are the points:"

Phase 1:

Forte – 4 points

Piano – 5 points

Total:

Forte – 4 points

Piano – 5 points

Phase 2 – Accuracy – Far Forest

"Each of you will take a turn, aiming for the middle of the target. The team with the most middle shots gets five points. Ready?" Chef said. "Go!"

Spear took the bow as well as Arreis. They both missed.

"Shucks." They both said.

Next, Sal and Gabe took the bow. They both got the middle.

"Yes!" both teams cheered.

Vivianne and Olivia were next, and Vivianne got the middle. Team Forte cheered.

Next was Faith and Clayton. Clayton surprisingly got the middle and his eyes widened and Team Piano applauded.

Evander and Xavier did so after them and Evander got a point, leaving Xavier quite mortified.

"Um… my bad." Xavier chuckled sheepishly.

Robert and Mairead played next and neither of them got a point.

Samuel and Meredith did it next and Team Forte got another point.

And at last, Amanda and Kimmie made the shot. They both got the point.

"Five points for team Forte!" Chris announced.

Phase 2:

Forte – 5 points

Piano – 4 points

Total:

Forte – 9 points

Piano – 9 points

Phase 3 – Puzzles – Far Forest

"For phase 3, we'll be placing a jigsaw puzzle. However, there is no picture on it. You have to see each side of each piece and how it forms to perfectly fit it in so good luck! First team to finish gets five points. Go!" Don blew the whistle and the teams scrambled the pieces.

"What kind of puzzle has no picture?" Samuel raises an eyebrow. "This stinks!"

"Like you." Viviane mocked. Faith giggled.

With Piano, they were having a challenging time as well.

"How many pieces are these?" Meredith asked them.

"There's a lot, that's for sure." Mairead replied.

"I don't know anymore!" Clayton smacked the puzzle. "I think I'm crazy!"

"No you're not." Xavier said.

After some moments later…

"We're halfway done!" Evander said and slammed a random piece into the place.

"No dude. We're actually…" Robert looked at the puzzle.

"Done!" Team Piano shouted.

"WTF?!" Team Forte gasped.

"Five points for Team Piano!" Chris announced.

Phase 3:

Forte – 4 points

Piano – 5 points

Total:

Forte – 13 points

Piano – 14 points

Phase 4 – Self-Defense – Harmony River

"Self-defense!" Don yells. "Everyone, wear these!"

Each of them was given a white robe and a black belt.

"We're utterly going to wear these uniforms?!" Olivia exclaimed.

"Uh, yes." Candela nodded. "What's self-defense without a martial artist uniform?"

"OH YEAH!" Vivianne cheered.

"Okay, step aside everyone. For round 1, alphabetically, we have Amanda and Clayton!"

"Oh crap." They said.

"Go!" The four hosts yelled.

"Uh…" Clayton stammered before Amanda kicked him in the shin. "Ah!"

"And that's what happens if you get kicked at the shin." Spear said, eyeing at Robert from the first episode.

"Team Forte gets a point!"

Confessional: Unprepared

Clayton (Piano): IF YOU'D GIVE ME THE TIME TO PREPARE THEN WE WOULD GET A POINT!

Amanda (Forte): Easy.

End confessional

"Round 2! Arreis and Gabe! Go!" Candela blew the whistle.

Arreis punched Gabe's stomach lightly, so did Gabe with Arreis' face. A bit too lightly though…After a few punches, Arreis called it a quits.

"Team Piano has a point!" Don applauded. "Next is Kimmie and Evander! Round 3!"

"Oh boy, I SURRENDER!" Kimmie yelled, right before Chris could blow the whistle.

"Why?"

"JUST LOOK AT THE SIZE OF MY OPPONENT!" Kimmie wailed.

"Oh well. Forte gets a point!"

Confessional: Surrender

Evander (Forte): And we get a point without doing anything. That's good(?)

End confessional

"Round 4! Next, Faith and Mairead! Go!" Chef yells.

Smack!

Mairead landed a punch to Faith's side.

Whack!

Faith kicked Mairead's leg making her fall. The preppy girl grabbed the percussionist by the hand and she fell also.

Pow!

Mairead kicked Faith's bottom.

"What the f***?!" Faith said before getting hit in the nose.

"This is getting too violent." Candela remarked.

"Heeheehee…" Chris cackles. "The point is for Team Piano! Round 5! Robert and Meredith! Go!"

"Oh no…" Meredith whimpers before she gets kicked in the arm. "Aah! My arm!"

She then threw a weak punch at Robert's gut. Robert then threw a punch at her stomach.

"Owww…" Meredith whimpered again and called it a quits.

"Forte gets the point!" Chef says. "Round 6! Sal and Olivia!"

"What?!" the two said in unison.

"Um…" Olivia scratched her head.

"I surrender." Sal said.

"I capitulate." Olivia followed.

"No one gets a point then." Don nods. "Round 7! Samuel and Spear!"

The two high school rivals gave each other a death stare.

Confessional: Capitulation

Olivia (Piano): I can't harm my comrade.

Sal (Forte): I can't hurt my friend.

End confessional

"NOT MY SHIN, GODDAMMIT!" Spear cursed as Samuel kicked him in the shin.

To get revenge, Spear kicked the guitarist's special area.

"OWWWWW!" Samuel wailed. Both boys were now on the ground. Samuel then kicked Spear's precious area also.

"Oww…" some of the boys yelled.

"AHAHAHA!" Evander and Robert laughed, high-fived each other, and then cried of laughter, until they were rolling on the ground.

"ALRIGHT, NONE OF YOU GET THE POINT FOR HITTING YOUR P****ES!" Chris broke the fight between the two. "No points! Round 8! Vivianne and Xavier!"

In one sweep, Vivianne slapped Xavier in the face, making him fall unconscious.

"Whoops…" Vivianne chuckled sheepishly.

"Forte gets the point. Therefore, they get the five points!"

"WHOOOO!" Forte cheered while Piano looked in disgust.

Phase 4:

Forte – 5 points

Piano – 4 points

Total:

Forte – 18 points

Piano – 18 points

Phase 5 – Cooperation – Beating Meadows

After everyone had their bandages and gauzes on their bodies and some of them gain back their consciousness, it was time for the final phase.

"For the final phase, you will all be playing a game of simple soccer. Piano versus Forte. Once the timer of one minute is up, the team with the most points will get the final five points and will be declared the winners. No disadvantages, but because Piano has the Advanced Note, they start with one point." Chef told them, making Piano cheer and Forte sigh.

Everyone was now in position. Evander and Clayton were the goalies.

"GO!"

Robert now has the ball. He passed it to Vivianne but was given to Xavier instead. He ran and ran and tried to score but failed since the bulky Evander blocked it.

"UGH!" Mairead sighed in frustration.

Evander smirked and tossed the ball to Faith. She ran for the goal and kicked it without Clayton noticing.

"CLAYTON!" Team Piano yelled.

"YEAH!" Team Forte cheered.

"Finally, I did something for once!" Faith cheered as well.

Only thirty seconds remain. The ball was now given to Kimmie and she passed it to Spear. Spear ran up to the goal, and luckily, made the shot.

"Piano has two points now!" Candela announces.

The ball was now given to Olivia. She then passed it to Gabe, then Meredith. When Meredith decides to pass it to Mairead, she failed massively and passed it to Samuel instead, who passed it to Amanda.

"WHOO!" she yelled and passed it to Arreis.

Arreis made a run for Clayton but then realizes that she might not make the shot. She then passed it to Samuel then shot at the goal.

"And Forte gets two points!" the hosts exclaimed.

The alarm rang off.

"IT'S A TIE!" Candela yelled.

"A neck tie or a bow tie?" Don asked.

"UGGGHHH, does that quote need to come up in ALL of my stories?!" Candela whined.

Everyone gathered up in the middle of the field.

"So as for a tiebreaker round," Chris cackled.

The hosts eyed at him.

"will be…"

The author cringed.

"That two of you had to peck each other."

"Uh, what?!" Candela asked him. "I'm sorry but I don't know what the f*** that's supposed to mean."

"Kissing! Duh!" Chris yelled sarcastically.

"Has Chris gone mad?!" Candela asked the other three hosts, but they shrugged.

"The first two people in each team to give a small kiss on the mouth wins a point for their team!"

"YOU SERIOUS?!" the whole world screamed.

"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Candela asked him. "WHAT KIND OF IDEA IS THAT ANYWAY!"

"A shitty one." Faith remarked sourly.

"Okay, decide on who should do it, and the points are yours!" Chris cackled again.

(Forte)

"Uh…" Vivianne scratched her head. "Not me."

"Not me." Faith said.

"Definitely not me." Evander scoffed.

"Not me." The rest of Forte said.

(Piano)

"So… who should do it?" Kimmie asked frantically. "No one? Okay!"

Kimmie ran out of the scene and jumped on a bush.

"What was that all about?" Clayton asked them. "Ehhhh…"

He sighed and did criss-cross-apple-sauce on the grass.

(One minute later)

"Chris, you need to change your idea no-"

"WE WON!"

"Who did?!" Candela asked and looked to the team that was cheering.

…

…It was Team Piano.

Confessional: If you love me, let me know

Gabe (Piano): Meredith, do not speak of this again or else!

Meredith (Piano): For the sake of our team… I swear, Gabe is just a friend, but someone had to do it!

End confessional

"I told you Spear and Amanda could've done it!" Evander facepalmed.

"See you all in elimination."

The hosts waved.

Night #4 – Musimental Theater, 8:00 PM

Vivianne, Faith, Amanda, and Arreis were sitting in the backstage.

"So… what now?" Vivianne asked.

"I suggest we vote on Samuel." Amanda said.

"How come?" Arreis asked her.

"Look, Samuel is acting really pathetic. Like, looking at May very sensually, kicking Spear in the balls and such?" Amanda retaliated.

"I see." Arreis nodded.

"I guess I can agree to that. Samuel and I were targeted by the other Beat Breakers back when there were three teams." Faith told them.

"So it's Samuel then?" Arreis asked.

"Yep." The other three confirmed.

"I need you guys to vote Faith." Samuel told Evander, Sal, and Robert.

"I know she was a target but no thanks." Evander got up and left.

"So will you guys vote with me?"

"I'm sorry for the offer Samuel, but no thanks." Sal said.

"Yeah." Robert agreed.

"Oh." Samuel looked down.

Confessional: Gone

Samuel (Forte): I guess I'm gone now. Goodbye, everyone… *sniffs*

End confessional

Elimination Ceremony, Forte #1, 9:00 PM

"Welcome to the first Elimination Ceremony for Forte." Don said. "But I'm sure this is not your first ceremony in the season. Duh!"

Team Forte shuddered. Who could go home next?

"So safe with zero votes against them are…

…

…Amanda, Arreis, Evander, Robert, and Vivianne." The five of them caught their cookies and happily ate them.

"Faith, Samuel, and Sal. You all received votes. Faith because AS USUAL, Sal because… of something, and Samuel because AS USUAL." Candela said, not wanting to elaborate each problem. "So safe with one vote is…

…

…Sal."

Sal sighed in relief and hate his cookie.

"Now, Faith and Samuel, one of you has two votes, the other has five. Therefore, our 16th placer of Total Drama: Musical Impact is…

…

…Samuel. So Faith, you 're saved. Again." Chris nods. Faith hugs the girls of Team Forte as Samuel leaves them, not wanting to say goodbye as a single tear ran down his cheek.

"I knew it… No one wants me here anyway…" Samuel murmured as he left the scene.

"So, MAN I HAVE A HEADACHE!" Candela whined.

"Because you're thinking about-" Chef was interrupted.

"No!" Candela tackled the poor chef.

"Anyway, what will happen to Forte now that Samuel is gone? And will Team Piano keep Gabe and Meredith's secret a secret? Found out next time in…" Chris says.

"Total Drama: Musical Impact!" they all said together.

BONUS SCENE:

"Okay, okay. Is the camera on?" Candela asked them.

"I think it is." Chris shrugs.

The four hosts were sitting on the stage. No one was there except for them.

"So, we would just like to thank you all for supporting Musical Impact." Don smiles.

"Because, it's my first season to reach over seventy reviews!" Candela squealed.

"Hell no, you have EXACTLY seventy reviews, AND you counted those annoying flames." Chef smacked his forehead.

"Oh whatever." Candela shrugged. "Anyway, be sure to vote on the poll about who will perform next in Episode 6: Rebound Fractionizer. But the ones who performed this episode won't be an option as well as the other group staff since they will perform next."

"So as a big thank you gift to you all, we hoped that you enjoyed this long episode." Don nods.

"And we all wish you a…" Chef starts.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" the four hosts waved. "SEE YOU ALL ON 2019!"

Voting Confessionals: Team Forte (3rd Elimination Ceremony)

Amanda: The vote wasn't too hard, really. Just fleshing it out with Faith and Vivianne got me agreeing because of his actions. Getting Arreis to vote with us was a plus, but Evander doesn't seem to care at all. Maybe he's got a plan in his head? I don't know. *votes for Samuel*

Arreis: You know, Amanda is actually a player, talks about strategy with others and stuff and I respect her for that. I actually feel bad for her since Meredith underestimates her, but Meredith has a point to so I'm in a pickle, I guess. I think I could get along with Amanda more now that we're on the same team again, but I'll just go as planned for now. *votes for Samuel*

Evander: For some reason, the alliance I made with Gabe, Olivia, and Kimmie died so that's inevitable. Maybe I can churn up my own plans here and I'll see them at the merge in no time. Sorry to the person I keep voting… or not sorry. *votes for Faith*

Faith: Our plan's in the bag. Me, Vivianne, Arreis, and Amanda. Other news is our alliances in this team are not equal, but who knows? Maybe they could be voting on me but who cares. Our choice gets the bat. Sorry, I don't think you're needed here…*votes for Samuel*

Robert: Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing. So to take this shortly, this is just a random vote because I kinda disagreed with Evander on voting Faith off, and I think Sal does too, but he seems like a threat. Oh well, here goes nothing. *votes for Sal*

Sal: I'm sorry, Samuel. Your idea is really influential, but you're just not a team player. *votes for Samuel*

Samuel: Remember the Breakers' former plan about voting Faith off? That's what I would do, and I'm sticking to it. Sorry, Faith. *votes for Faith*

Vivianne: It's obvious on who I'm voting. We just talked about it and I'm sure this is going to work. *votes for Samuel*
