Summary: 20 contestants battle it out on a private resort in a tropical paradise hosted by the amazing Chris McLean, and his assistant, Chef Hatchet. In a brand new season of twists and turns, who will walk away with the prize?
We don't owe Total Drama, only our OCs.
Remaining Contestants: Joseph, Abigail, Brittany, Dante, Rebekah, Ilyria, Lin, Butch, Walter, and Demetrius
"I should have figured." The dancer sighed. "At least I wasn't one of the first few to go. Good luck to the rest of you!"
As Shauna began to walk over to the Pool for Fools, she tripped on herself one last time and landed right into the pool.
Antonio looked shocked at this.
"This is impossible! I can't believe you guys don't believe me!" he exclaimed.
"You sounded way too crazy, dude!" Butch shook his head.
Antonio huffed, storming up to the room, not bothering to go into the Pool for Fools.
"No, Friendo, come back!" Terra called out from a pool floatie shaped like a banana.
"He'll come back. Eventually." Spikke was sitting on a pool chair.
"And so the performance of the macabre magician comes to an end." She began. "You've been a lovely audience, but alas, I must go!"
Jerusha tossed a smoke bomb to the ground… as it cleared up she revealed that she had not moved at all and instead walked over to the other eliminated contestants, immediately giving Christopher a hug. Christopher smiled, hugging her back, while kissing her cheek.
"Now that that's out of the way…" Chris began. "Congratulations! The teams are officially merged! It's every person for themselves! You guys will be moving to a new location, still here on the resort! Go pack your stuff, and meet us down here asap!"
"Oh my gosh, I can't believe I made it to the merge!" Lucille let out, as she would go into the resort with her former team.
"Woah, the merge!" Terra gasped in awe as Trish squealed in amazement. "You did it, Lin Lin!"
"I wasn't expecting it this early, but this is where the real fun begins. I should probably go. I need to think about some things." The shorter girl said, walking back inside.
"Unfortunately, we couldn't find the wheelchair, so Lucille, due to this, you're gonna have to be medically evacuated from the competition."
"No!" Lucille sniffled as she buried her head in her hands.
"Joseph, would you do the honors of carrying Lucille back to the main resort while Johan packs her stuff?" Chris looked at the tribal chief.
"Of course."
"Everyone else, take a quick moment to say your goodbyes to Lucille," Alexis frowned a little.
Lucille sniffled as she wiped away her tears, as Abigail hurried over to hug her. "Be safe!" she let out.
"I will," Lucille sighed.
"See ya," Brittany let out simply.
"Sorry to see you go like this," Ilyria sighed.
"Gonna miss seeing you," Rebekah let out.
"You played well." Lin said, giving the handicapped girl a rare smile.
"Thanks," Lucille would smile back at Lin, before glancing over at Joseph.
"Come on." He said, lifting her up into his arms.
Lucille sighed as she relaxed in his arms. "I can't believe I'm going out like this…I thought I would last longer…"
"You should have lasted longer. You could have won that challenge!"
"I know…" Lucille frowned. "I can't believe I won't be able to see you much…despite now being on the other side of the resort."
"Yeah… But we'll both still be here."
"It won't be the same though…" Lucille glanced into his eyes, tears forming in her's as the two arrived at the Pool for Fools.
"I'll try to win for both of us."
"You promise?" Lucille would look at his lips, shyly.
"Promise." He affirmed, suddenly going in to kiss her.
Lucille would melt into the kiss, as her eyes closed, feeling fireworks go off in her heart.
"It's about time!" Miguel's voice would be heard as he let out a cheer and a clap.
Lucille felt her cheeks heat up as she pulled away from the kiss after five minutes, smiling up at Joseph. "Wow… that felt… amazing."
"Finally," Spikke muttered, as he glanced over at Trish. "I'd thought they'd never get together."
"I know! EEEE! They're so cute!" The posh girl squealed.
"So… I guess we're official now?" Lucille smiled at Joseph.
"Heh, I guess we are."
Lucille smiled, as she reached up to kiss his cheek. "I guess this is goodbye until I see you win that million dollars."
"It won't be long." Joseph assured.
Lucille smiled a little. "Well…I guess you can set me down now."
Terra and Shauna brought over the largest pool floatie available for Lucille which Joseph gently placed the girl on.
"Thank you," Lucille smiled. She frowned a little. "It's gonna be hard getting to and from the pool now…"
"Don't worry, we've got you covered." Shauna assured.
"Yeah, now your boyfriend won't have anything to worry about. Plus, he can always visit you when he's not focusing on challenges," Spikke grinned.
Lucille giggled a bit at this, smiling as she looked up at Joseph, blowing him a kiss as he left.
"Ah, there you are!" Fernando called out, as if right on cue. "Honestly, Abigail, dear, you shouldn't have to waste your time on him anymore. Clearly he's shown to be too immature."
"Huh?" Abigail was wide-eyed.
"You want to run that by me again?" Damiano asked, standing up and looking Fernando right in his eyes.
"I'm just saying…" Fernando began as he raised his arms up in defense of himself. "You've been acting like a big baby ever since Abigail and I hooked up. Clearly if you want to be this jealous then she wasn't meant for you anyway!"
By now a few of the others were looking at the three in confusion or anticipation.
"Get me some popcorn, stat!" Chris told Johan, who gave him an annoyed glance before leaving.
"This should be interesting…" Brittany smirked.
"I'm the immature one?" Damiano chuckled. "I'm not the one stringing someone along and I'm not the one who's been trying to overthrow the team captain back when the teams were still around."
"What?!" Abigail said in shock as she looked at Fernando with her eyes as wide as dinner plates and her skin now growing pale. Upon hearing the second part of Damiano's statement, Joseph looked over at the three with his gaze now growing ice cold.
"Don't trust him, my dear Abigail, he's lying to you!" Fernando assured, tiny beads of sweat now dripping from his forehead.
"Oh? Am I?" Damiano continued, getting closer and allowing his piercing gaze to rock Fernando to his core. He wasn't sure why he didn't realize it before but seeing Dante's rather muscular frame made the model feel very unsettled. "And what would I possibly gain from lying? Abigail's affection? Please. You've had her wrapped around your finger from day one! Couple that with those angry little glances you gave Joseph during every team meeting and every time we ate in the dining room, your plan was clear. You wanted full control over everything and you never really cared for Abigail. Honestly, I'm surprised nobody said anything sooner!"
With some nerve coming back to him, Fernando shoved Damiano back into his chair and glared daggers at the boy.
"Screw you, you bastard! I've been trying to keep that secret for weeks now! Do you have any idea how much I planned and prepared?! Acting like some lovey-dovey jackass is hard enough!"
"I can't believe you!" Abigail yelled at the male model. "Someone, go and get my high heels. Now! And make sure this fool doesn't get away!"
"Oh ho ho, with pleasure!" Damiano responded, a sadistic grin growing on his face as he grabbed Fernando, whose face went stark white.
"Already got 'em!" Johan added as he returned with a bowl of popcorn for the hosts and a pair of ruby red high heels.
Abigail thanked the intern, before slipping her shoes off, and putting the heels on, before approaching Fernando.
"A-Abbi, come on! None of that is true!" Fernando laughed nervously.
"We're done. Permanently." With that, she kicked him in his family jewels. Just as everyone began to cheer, Joseph approached the crumpled form of Fernando and hoisted him up with a hand firmly grasped around his neck.
"You wanted to get rid of me? You thought you had control over the team? You really wanted to be some kind of big shot, is that it?" He began.
The joy at seeing Abigail get her revenge was replaced by a chilling silence as everyone listened to Joseph's ominously calm tone.
"Well?" Joseph continued as Fernando began whimpering and stammering a response that never came. "Do you think you're me, is that it? DO YOU THINK YOU'RE ME?!"
The silence only seemed to grow more chilling at the sound of the Samoan's thunderous tone.
"Chris!" Joseph called out.
"Yeah?" the host asked, shivering ever so slightly.
"I'm taking this trash out of the game!"
"Well, good call! Fernando, you're eliminated!" the host exclaimed. "Now then the-"
Chris couldn't get another word out as Joseph suddenly hoisted Fernando up higher and chokeslammed him into a foldable table, which broke under the sudden force.
"Oooh…that's gonna leave a mark," Brittany smirked.
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine,
You guys are on my mind.
You asked me what I wanted to be
and now I think the answer is plain to see,
I wanna be famous.
I wanna live close to the sun,
Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won,
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
I'll get there one day.
Cause, I wanna be famous!
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na! (as can be heard in the background)
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
(Whistling in tune)
Episode 13: Aftermath 2
Just before the show was about to begin, an unnamed intern would let Joseph know that he had been asked to carry Lucille onto the stage for her interview when it was time for her interview to begin.
"And we're going live, in five, four, three, two, one!" a cameraman let out, as the aftermath theme played, while waiting for Maria and her co-host to come onstage.
"Good evening and welcome back to the Total Drama Aftermath Show!" Maria greeted, this time wearing a midnight purple summer dress. "We've seen an entirely new set of eliminations take place as the numbers in the game continue to go down. Tensions have risen and we've just seen some of the most intense drama yet!"
"Yeah, tensions are rising and apparently so is the blood pressure of some of the people still in the game." Johan added.
"Well, let's get down to business, and welcome Shauna to the stage!" Maria announced. The dancer girl cheerfully made her way onto the stage before tripping and falling yet again on her face. With a blush forming on her cheeks, Shauna quickly rose to her feet and brushed herself off before taking her spot in the hot seat.
"Hiii~" She greeted.
"Welcome, Shauna! So, first off, how do you think you did during the competition?" Maria asked. "Any resentment to your team for voting you out?"
"Well, I'm not exactly happy about it, I was really caught off guard when I found out I was voted off. But at the same time I should have seen it coming with how clumsy I am. But hey, 14th place isn't the worst, right?"
"Now, out of everyone left who used to be on your team, who do you think has the best chance of winning? And who has the best chance of winning on what used to be team Flamingo?"
"Hmm…" Shauna pondered. "Honestly, from everyone that was on the Peacock team, I think I would have to pick Lin. She's super smart and sneaky when she needs to be. But I have to say that now that she's teamed up with Rebekah, either of them has a solid chance. For the Flamingos it's gotta be Joseph. We just saw him put Fernando through a table, I think that's gotta put him on everyone's radar as someone you don't want to make angry!"
"Speaking of Joseph, you saw how angry he was after the VR challenge. What went through your mind during that?" Maria asked.
"Watching it was definitely scary, but at the same time I thought it was really sweet that he was doing that for Lucille."
"One last question, what do you think happened to Lucille's wheelchair?" Maria asked.
"I really don't know where it may have ended up, but everyone here at the Pool saw Walter and Butch take it. It sucks that we can't say anything about it, but whatever's going on with them just isn't right!"
"Thanks, Shauna, go ahead and join the peanut gallery," Maria smiled. "Our next guest comes all the way from Italy, and has a movie star for a girlfriend, give it up for Antonio!"
The soccer player would come out, and sit on the hot seat. "Ciao!" he let out.
"Glad to have you Antonio. Now, there's quite a few questions that we have to ask you, but let's get started with the most simple. How do you feel about your elimination?"
"Honestly, I was shocked," Antonio replied. "Especially to Butch, my roommate. I can't believe he didn't believe me about Demetrius. At least a few of the girls believed me…"
"Well from what you've been able to see from your time here at the Pool for Fools, do you have a better understanding of why Butch didn't believe you?" Maria raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, and I believe he's under some sort of spell. I don't know what kind, but it's not good," the soccer player replied. "Butch can be a hothead, but I don't think he's the type to pull stuff like this. Neither is Walter."
"I see." Maria nodded. "Well, now that both of them as well as Demetrius are now in the 2nd half of this contest, do you think they can be stopped?"
"I hope so," Antonio nodded. "And I really hope those two can snap out of that spell they're under."
"Assuming they can go back to normal, out of the ten that are left do you think they'd have a good chance at winning? Or would someone else beat them?"
"Good question. I think maybe they might have a chance, but if not, I'd say Joseph has a good chance of winning. He's really strong, and just has a really commanding presence."
"He most certainly does!" Maria stated.
"Enough to make us all break out in a cold sweat." Johan added.
"Right, well, for our last question. After what just happened with Abigail, do you think she and Dante will get together?"
"I really hope so. They'd be cute together. Unlike Fernando, I didn't ship her with him," the soccer player answered.
"I don't think anyone does anymore." Maria laughed. "Anyway, thanks for your time, you can go ahead and join the others."
Antonio would go and join the others in the peanut gallery.
"Our next guest was the last boot before the merge, give it up for the Midnight Magician, Jerusha, everyone!" Maria announced. In a cloud of smoke, Jerusha was already sitting in the hot seat, ready and waiting for her questions.
"What an entrance! Jerusha, how do you feel about your time in the game?" Maria asked.
"Well it was certainly shorter than I was expecting, but it was an enriching experience! I was able to meet so many interesting people and I was able to showcase my talents. All in all, I'd say it was good."
"And you also got a boyfriend too! Now, how did you feel about that?"
"I wasn't expecting to meet that special someone here, but I'm glad I did. Christopher being another performer was just the cherry on top!" Jerusha replied, blowing a kiss to her boyfriend.
Christopher caught the kiss, smiling and winking at her.
"Well, you two are adorable! How did you feel about watching that moment with Abigail, Dante and Fernando?"
"Oh, I knew something was up with them! Something about the way Fernando talked to Abigail just seemed off to me. He seemed way too suave."
"And did you like watching how Abigail dumped Fernando?"
"Oh that was awesome! I think I can speak for most of the girls here, when I saw it felt empowering to see a guy like him get what's coming to him!" Jerusha replied. "Too bad that empowering confidence was replaced with a chilling fear when Joseph stepped in…"
"Now, who do you think has the best chance of winning with the 10 remaining contestants?"
"Joseph for sure! After what we saw and watching him power his way to winning invincibility, I don't know if he could be stopped! But on the off chance he does go down, I think it would have to be… hmm, possibly Lin, Rebekah or Ilyria."
"Thank you, Jerusha, you can go ahead and go to the peanut gallery," Maria smiled. With an excited smile, Jerusha hurried over to Christopher and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Now, it's time to welcome our second-to-last guest, the first boot of the merge, it's Lucille!" Maria announced.
Lucille smiled as she came onstage, in the arms of Joseph, the larger man setting her down in the hot seat before waving goodbye to everyone.
"Thank you for helping her, Joseph." Maria began. "A bit of a shame that he can't join us this time, the Aftermath is only for the eliminated contestants, after all."
"That might be for the best." Johan added. "As badass as his chokeslam was, I think we can all breathe a bit easier without the risk of pissing him off. He's probably not in the best mood right now too."
"Right. On that note, let's get to the elephant in the room." Maria began. "Lucille, how do you feel about Joseph after what he just did?"
"Honestly, I still care for him, and I loved how he showed Fernando who's the boss," Lucille replied.
"I'm guessing you also found it sweet to know how hard he looked for your chair?" Maria added.
"I do," Lucille nodded, smiling brightly.
"Well, it would be rather redundant to ask who you want to win so let's shake it up a little. Lucille, is there anyone left who you do not want to win?"
"Ugh, there's a few…" Lucille began. "Firstly, Brittany, she's mean, and secondly, Demetrius. He's not my choice for a winner."
"What's your take on Demetrius hanging around with Walter and Butch?" Johan asked.
"I don't like it at all. Those two aren't acting like themselves when we all first arrived at the resort," Lucille answered.
"I see. Well, one last question; what do you think happened to your wheelchair?"
"I don't know, I just hope it can be found soon," Lucille answered.
"I'm sure we all hope it turns up soon." Maria replied. "For now we'll have someone assist you to the Peanut Gallery."
Trish and Terra hurried over to the handicapped girl and carried her over to the bleachers, setting her down gently.
"Our final guest got the beatdown of the century, being the second merge boot, give it up for the not-so-hot-anymore, Fernando!" Maria announced.
The male model slowly made his way onto the stage, his shirt off but his entire chest covered in tape and bandages.
"Thank goodness Chef is a registered nurse." Johan chuckled as he watched Fernando walk pitifully over to the hot seat and cringe as he slowly sank into it.
"Alright, tough guy, anything you want to say about what just happened?"
"Well…" Fernando began. "I have bruised ribs now… And it hurts to breathe a bit…"
"Not gonna lie." Shauna spoke up. "You kind of deserved it for stringing Abigail along like that."
"Yeah it's, like, totally uncool to play with people's feelings!" Trish added.
"Not cool at all," Lucille scowled, crossing her arms.
"Well, do you have any regrets for what you've done?" Maria asked, her eyes narrowing.
"Hmph, I played the game in a manner I saw fit. You have to break a few eggs in order to make an omelette! So what if a few people break, this show has had people that have done much worse things!"
"You're such a jerk," Miguel let out. "You deserve what happened to you."
"I agree," Spikke replied.
"Me too," Antonio nodded. "Thank goodness you're no longer in the competition."
"Fernando, who do you think will win the competition?" Maria asked. "Who do you think doesn't deserve to win?"
"I don't care who wins… nor do any of them deserve to win. Especially not Abigail, Dante or Joseph!"
"You're really just an ass, aren't you..." Johan shook his head.
"I think we're done here." Maria sighed. "If you can manage to, you're free to head over to the Peanut Gallery."
"No, I think he should stay there." Shauna huffed, some of the other former players also not wanting Fernando anywhere near them.
"Looks like there's a lot of negativity going around right now, why don't we fix that!" The hostess continued. "While the contestants still in the game have to deal with Chris and each other, that doesn't mean they don't get up to their own shenanigans once in a while, nor does it mean that everyone here just does nothing all day. Let's take a look at some of the hijinx that everyone here gets up to when you folks at home aren't looking!"
Maria brought out a remote and pressed one of the buttons on it, turning on the titantron screen above her and allowing everyone to watch the footage.
The first clip showed Terra talking to Trish and Spikke at the poolside area during the Escape Room challenge. Spikke looked a bit unsure about talking with the clown but Trish appeared to assure him that it was alright.
"Ok, so I wanted to ask you guys about this hypothetical situation I thought up." Terra began.
"Sure, go ahead." The posh girl replied.
"Ok, ok, um. So you're running as fast as you can through the woods, to see how fast you can run. You think in your head, 'I'm the fastest in the universe, this is freaking amazing!' You stop in the middle of the woods, at a giant opening in the middle of the woods, and there you see a hole. And you run over to the hole and you see Sasquatchanakwa looking up and smiling. His two hands are closed and he says 'red pill or blue pill?' And he holds his hands out for you to pick one."
The situation elicited a laugh from the two for a moment before Trish decided to answer.
"I say 'redpill me, baby!"
"Is that what you say? Spikke, what's your answer?"
"I don't want to get bluepilled by Bigfoot."
"He's probably trying to hurt me." Trish chuckled.
"His hands are closed." Terra repeated.
"And he's down a hole?" Spikke asked.
"Like a two-foot - it's not that deep, but yeah, it's a hole."
"He's standing in a hole and he's, what, seven-foot-eight?" Spikke asked, getting a nod from Terra. "So he's the same size as us at that point?"
"Exactly."
"It's up to his ankles?" Trish wondered.
"So, if I take the blue pill, what happens, does he dig deeper into the hole and go further down?" The rapper asked.
"You have to say 'red pill or blue pill'." The clown repeated. Spikke couldn't help but laugh just a bit more at this point.
"Ok, I say red pill, he opens the hole and I go down with him."
"No no, he opens his hand and eats the red pill. Then he waves and goes 'bye-bye'."
"That's the red pill?" Spikke laughed. "Ok, so can the blue pill be… I want the blue pill to be that he steps out of the hole and cracks his knuckles and beats me up."
"Why would you want that?" Trish asked, laughing harder now.
"Cause the blue pill is bad and the red pill is good! Isn't it? Isn't that the whole point of the movie?"
"You say 'blue pill', and he goes, 'watch this'. He pulls a snake out of the hole and he swings it as hard as he can, he smashes it against the side of the hole and it dies."
By now Trish looked to be on the verge of cracking up. "Wait, what?!"
"What would you do?" Terra continued. "He kills a snake in front of you and he smiles and says 'you want?'"
"I'd be like, 'I guess this is your circle of life thing going on here?'" Spikke answered.
"And then he looks at you and his mouth opens and his eyes bulge, he says, 'You can talk?! AAAAAAAHHHH!' He then digs as deep as he can go."
The three teens then burst out into laughter as the clip came to an end.
"While that was funny it does make me wonder what goes on in Terra's mind for her to make that up." Miguel noted.
"Nothing and everything!" The clown replied proudly.
"I feel like a lot of Terra's moments here could make it into a collection of funny clips." Shauna laughed.
"Well you're not wrong." Johan shrugged. "We do have a good number of clips because of Terra. Remember how Chris made you all get out of your rooms in the middle of the night for the Escape Room challenge and made you all sleep on the lower floors?"
"Oh yeah!" Shauna replied. "Terra came screaming into my room and started shaking me and said 'Shauna, Shauna, wake up! You gotta wake up, please!"
With another wave of laughter, Terra finished her statement from that morning. "Hahaha, yeah, I said; 'SHAUNA, SHAUNA, TURN ON THE TV, THEY HIT THE PENTAGON! THEY HIT THE FLIPPING PENTAGON, SHAUNA!'"
"Weren't you upset about getting woken up like that?" Antonio asked in between his fit of laughter.
"Well a little bit, but it was already, like, nine in the morning so I should have been up by then!" The dancer replied.
"Turn on the TV, it doesn't matter what channel… GAH!" The clown finished.
"We've got a few painful clips from the VR episode, so we're gonna play them!" Maria announced, as she pressed a button on her remote.
Lin simply raised her hand up and tightened it into a fist. The very air itself seemed to suddenly weigh a ton as everyone sank to their knees. Fernando suddenly began plummeting towards the ground neck first and with one sickening crunch his body vanished just as Ilyria's did.
"Okay, that was so satisfying," Spikke smirked, at the male model.
"Play it again!" Terra pleaded. Maria smirked deviously as she looked over at Fernando, rewinding the footage and allowing everyone to watch Fernando hit the ground again before rewinding it again.
"So. Good." Miguel grinned.
"I hate you all." Fernando seethed.
"You deserve it after what you put poor, sweet Abigail through," Antonio glared at him.
"And it looks like we've got a clip of Lin and how she was practicing with her power," Maria said, as she played the clip.
Lin separated herself from everyone just as she learned what sort of power she was given for the challenge.
"Gravity, eh?" She said to herself. "So how can I make this work?"
As she placed a hand to her chin, she unintentionally used her power on herself, increasing her own field of gravity to the point where she face planted right into the ground.
"Grd drrm rt…" She mumbled through the dirt.
"Ooh, that must have left a mark," Miguel winced.
"Up next we have an instant classic!" Maria chuckled. "The Escape Room challenge definitely brought out some good laughs and some painful injuries, as Butch definitely learned!"
"Oh just step away!" Ilyria sighed, using her bobby pin to pick the lock, and upon hearing the click, the lock would fall harmlessly to the ground. The spy opened the door and stepped out of the way as Butch charged right past her and ran right into the wall, knocking himself flat on his rear.
"Hah!" Antonio grinned. "Served him right. Ilyria's pretty cool, especially with how she was able to pick the lock with just a bobby pin."
"Now, I suppose we should share a few sweet romantic moments," Maria smiled. "Who should we start off with first?"
"How about Christopher and Jerusha?" Antonio suggested.
"Alright, let's roll the clip!" Maria grinned, pressing a button on her remote.
Jerusha smiled before giving her answer. "Mine has to be our act during the first challenge. It was the first time I ever really got to put a little extra spice into one of my acts, especially with a friend!"
Christopher smiled. "You were dazzling," he admitted. "And…beautiful."
"Aww, thank you!" Jerusha squealed, hugging her fellow magician.
Christopher blushed, as he hugged her back.
"You know. Even if this wasn't planned, being in a dark and secluded place like this is a bit macabre, and I kind of like it!"
"It's a little scary," Christopher admitted.
"Scary can be nice." She said, getting closer to Christopher.
Christopher gazed into her eyes. "Can it?"
"It can, let me show you."
The clip soon came to an end, as Christopher blushed, rubbing the back of his neck. His attention suddenly shifted over to his girlfriend, who rested her head on Christopher's shoulder, who smiled, and kissed her forehead.
"Okay, let's play a moment between Butch and Ilyria, before their kiss!" Maria pressed another button on the remote in her hands.
"The hell is this stuff made of?!" He grumbled.
"I have no bloody idea!" Ilyria let out. Finally stopping with his useless efforts, Butch looked over at his teammate.
"So, any ideas?" He asked.
"Of how to get out? If I had my gadgets, I would blast us out," Ilyria deadpanned. "But no. How about you?"
"I already did all I can do."
"Useless," Ilyria sighed. "Utterly, useless."
"Well you ain't too useful either, Princess!"
"Don't call me that you bloody arse!" Ilyria let out, glaring at the brute.
"Why? Does it bother you? Would ya' rather I tolk loik I'm Bri'ish like you, Princess?!"
Ilyria's cheeks turned red as she glanced away. 'What the hell is wrong with me? What the hell is wrong with him?!'
"Well, who would've thought that they would hook up?" Miguel smiled.
"I don't know…" Trish added. "Something just feels icky about their relationship right now. I mean, I said they looked cute together at the time, but, something about them right now just feels… off."
"I have to agree with you," Spikke responded.
"Well, we won't know for sure until later! I suppose we can play the next clip on our list!" Maria smiled. "And no, it's not you, Fernando. You don't deserve a clip."
"Thanks," Lucille would smile back at Lin, before glancing over at Joseph.
"Come on." He said, lifting her up into his arms.
Lucille sighed as she relaxed in his arms. "I can't believe I'm going out like this…I thought I would last longer…"
"You should have lasted longer. You could have won that challenge!"
"I know…" Lucille frowned. "I can't believe I won't be able to see you much…despite now being on the other side of the resort."
"Yeah… But we'll both still be here."
"It won't be the same though…" Lucille glanced into his eyes, tears forming in her's as the two arrived at the Pool for Fools.
"I'll try to win for both of us."
"You promise?" Lucille would look at his lips, shyly.
"Promise." He affirmed, suddenly going in to kiss her.
Lucille would melt into the kiss, as her eyes closed, feeling fireworks go off in her heart.
"It's about time!" Miguel's voice would be heard as he let out a cheer and a clap.
Lucille felt her cheeks heat up as she pulled away from the kiss after five minutes, smiling up at Joseph. "Wow… that felt… amazing."
Lucille blushed with a smile as that clip played.
"Well, since we're talking about romantic moments…there's something that I want to ask Trish," Miguel smiled at the posh girl.
"Oh?" Maria raised an eyebrow as her younger sister began to look flustered.
"We've gotten to know one another the past few weeks after we were both eliminated, and I've found you to be very beautiful. I was wondering…if you would go out with me?" the movie star asked, blushing a bit.
Some of the teens on the bleachers gasped and cheered for the two while Trish herself covered her blushing face in her hands.
"Ohmigosh this is so sudden why are you saying this now?! AAAAAAAHH!" She squealed.
"What are you gonna say?" Spikke grinned at the posh girl.
"I think you should at least take her out for dinner or something first." Maria laughed. "Give her a minute though, she's not good with sudden announcements like this."
"Well, if she wants to go to dinner with me," Miguel smiled.
"YES!" Trish blurted out suddenly.
Miguel smiled as he went over to her, kissing her hand. "Then I'll pick you up later tonight, señorita," he said in his smooth, Spanish accent.
"Now if only I could find true love," Spikke groaned playfully.
"Maybe one day!" Shauna hummed, giving him a sly look.
"I guess," the Greek rapper pouted, before noticing the sly look. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Okay, let's get moving before everyone's teenage hormones take over." Maria laughed. "We've got one last clip to show!"
The camera footage soon started to show the kitchens, with Alexis cooking up a storm. "Hey, uncle, wanna help me?"
"Sure sweet pea, what do ya' need?"
"I hate that nickname," the young chef grumbled. "But I need 3 cloves of garlic sliced and diced."
"On it." The older man replied, quickly and easily chopping up the vegetable.
"Thanks, uncle," Alexis placed it into the pot, and stirred it, before grabbing a ladle, and scooping it, before blowing into it. "Alright, my homemade tomato sauce is ready for tasting! Wanna have the first taste?"
"Sure!"
Alexis passed him the ladle, Chef tried the sauce, being careful to examine the taste and texture.
"What do you think? Does it pass your taste buds?"
"Aww, honey, you know everything you make is great!"
"Thanks, uncle. I can't wait to serve this for dinner tomorrow," Alexis grinned, as she turned off the stove to avoid the sauce overcooking.
"Great, I'm sure everyone'll like it! But before you go, wanna try something I whipped up?"
"As long as it won't get me sick, sure thing," Alexis smiled. Her uncle then hoisted up a rather large pot of what appeared to be his own sauce.
"Been tryin' out a recipe your cousin gave me." Chef explained, handing her a ladle of the concoction. "Careful though, it is supposed to be a little-"
"HOOOOOTTTT!" Alexis screeched, as her mouth felt like it was on fire. As his niece ran around looking for something to cool her burning tongue, Chef pondered the recipe.
"Hmm, maybe I need to add a bit more kimchi and California Reaper… Don't worry honey, I know we've got some milk here somewhere!"
Alexis would soon find the milk, and poured herself a large glass, before gulping it down in three seconds flat.
"Wow. I cannot handle something that spicy," she grumbled.
"Like it?" Chef asked. "I've been thinking of using it for next season if we're greenlit for one. Your cousin, Jared, called it the 'Mississippi Queen'."
"Good name for something really spicy. Maybe he could help us next season," Alexis smiled.
"Did I just hear the title of a song?" Johan asked as he peeked inside the kitchen. Alexis suddenly had a devious idea as she looked at the intern.
"Uncle, I think you found your new taste tester! Come on over here, Joey!"
Knowing that something was up, the musician bolted from the room, the two chefs running after him.
"Okay, that was funny," Spikke laughed as the clip came to an end.
"Not for me!" Johan hissed. "I still can't taste anything after that!"
"But Alexis's sauce wasn't that bad, right?" Miguel raised an eyebrow. "I mean, you did try that before you tasted Chef's sauce, right?"
"Thankfully. Although I'm terrified of the thought of Chef mixing the two."
"Well, Alexis is one of the best young chefs, despite only being 19!" Maria smiled.
"I thought she was 24?" Antonio muttered. "Who would have thought that she's only a year older than us?"
"Well it just goes to show that talent and skills can even be honed from a young age." Maria stated. "But I think we're out of time for this Aftermath! I'd like to give a big thank you to our wonderful intern and co-host for being here as well as our amazing Peanut Gallery and special guests here tonight! Anything you all want to add before we sign off for the night?"
"Go, Joseph! You've got the million dollars in the bag!" Lucille cheered as she blew a kiss to the camera.
"I was robbed!" Fernando shouted before clutching his back in pain.
"You got what you deserved," Miguel glared at the male model.
"Plural pronouns!" Terra yelled in glee.
"My ears!" Spikke groaned as he covered them due to Terra's scream.
"Can this show get any crazier?" Johan shook his head, a smile plastered on his face.
"It's all downhill from here, kid." Maria sighed. "Tune in next time, where the 10 remaining contestants go head to head in a Wipeout-themed challenge, here on Total! Drama! HAWAIIAN RESORT!"
