Previously on Total Drama Act II: Musical Power…
Blaineley came rushing towards the other hosts with a laptop on her hand.
"Guys, it says that the paranormality level of the building is skyrocketing even higher." She informed. "We have to get out of here."
"I was just thinking about how terrible of a plan this is. Brea, try and call the interns. I'll have Epi bring everyone in the bus." Chris ordered.
"On it." Brea nodded and quickly dialed her phone.
No answer.
She dialed again.
Still no answer.
"That's it, I'm going in." Brea sucked up all her reservations and headed into the building, without anyone else knowing.
Clap clap!
The hosts turned their attention to Minor B this time.
"Yes, Oli?" Epi turned to him, as well as the other contestants.
"I'd like to use this." Oli said, getting a figurine from his pocket. However, he shrieked upon seeing it and immediately dropped it, sending it rolling on to the ground.
Everyone gasped as well once they could get a full view of the figurine.
It was a Time Signature.
"THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" Oli shouted. "THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN EIGHTH NOTE!"
Colin widened his eyes. "The Eighth Note!?" He said out loud. Ryder was also shocked as well since the item that they've been looking for had been with Oli all this time.
Don shook his head. "Lyle, you're disqualified."
"Disqualified? Disqualified from what?" Lyle widened his eyes.
"From the whole game." Chris added. "You will be taking 22nd place in Total Drama Act II: Musical Power."
"Uh, WHAT!?" Lyle shouted, full of rage. "Wait, IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW!? WHAT THE HELL!?"
"Interns, please escort him out of the building. Immediately. Before anything gets worse." Brea commanded. "Lyle, you're disqualified since you've caused damage to, not a contestant, not a host, not a judge, and not even a staff member or an intern, but someone who is a part of the Act I alumni, and that's… a major offense actually."
"Wait, I swear I didn't know!" Lyle screeched but was escorted out by Ulysses and someone in a black coat. He tried to restrain from them, but failed-
Wait… someone in a black coat?
"Watch out!" Gabe shrieked from behind as they all collided into each other without cue. Unknowingly, Gabe accidentally crashed into Adala from behind, causing her to fall off the stage, landing on her right leg.
"OW!" Adala screeched in pain.
"Oh my god, Adala!" Sami widened her eyes and rushed to Adala. "Are you okay?"
"I think I broke my leg…" the improviser groaned.
"Oh fuck… Adala, I'm so sorry, this is all my fault." Gabe apologized, growing even more nervous that they might have to medically evacuate their teammate.
"We should get her to the medic." Colin suggested. "She'll be fine there."
"I'll come with you, Colin." Pierre offered and the two helped Adala up and exited the auditorium to find the medic.
"I'll go tell Jianne." Gordon suggested but Arreis grabbed his arm.
"No. We can't let her know about this. We might get disqualified." Said the veteran.
"Disqualified?" Sybil retaliated in disbelief. "She's injured, Arreis! We have to let Jianne know somehow! She might even give us a solution.
"Thing is guys," Sami looked at everyone. "Adala is going to be in the center for most of the time. Without her, all of our formations are gonna be messed up."
Gabe smacked his forehead. "Oh my god, what have I done…"
What will happen in the aftermath?
The letters T, D, A, and the number 2 all dropped at the same time against a shimmering silver background, with several music notes surrounding the three letters. Right below the three words, a faint light began illuminating in the background, forming the word 'Aftermath' in black letters.
*Opening Theme #1*
Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine
The camera zooms into the dance practice room where Lyle was practicing his ballet. May and Sami were watching him and applauded as he landed on his plié successfully, while Arabelle on the other hand, watched with disgust.
You're always on my mind
The camera leaves the room and heads to the auditorium where we can see Beatrice masterfully playing the piano until Antoinette sits on the keys smirking, causing several off-key notes being played. Ryder sees this and pushes Antoinette off the piano, causing her to land face first to the floor and Ryder and Beatrice high-fived.
You asked me what I wanted to be
The camera zooms under the high-five and next thing we see is that we are in the bedroom of one of the teams' houses, where Janice was writing in her diary. Toxa was standing right behind her, rubbing her hands as if she had a plan. Toxa then turns back, only to find Misha crossing her arms. On the window however, we can see Pierre trying to get a peek of the girls.
And now I think the answer is plain to see
The camera warps to the other house's living room, where we can see Rival and Therion doing their handshake. Mara is then seen in the window waving at them causing Therion to blush but then scowls when he sees Mara taken away by Ulysses. Both boys however, ignored Alec, who served them a plate of cookies, with a shocked expression on his face.
I wanna be famous
The camera zooms into the cookies and warps to the backstage where we can see Carter and Mag arguing, with Nash trying to break them up, by throwing his lasso at them. Lee on the other hand, freaks out as he sees this, and runs away from them instead of telling them something important.
I wanna live close to the sun
We then get a view of the storage room, where Gordon and Vanessa were looking for something. Colin opens the door, scaring the two, but leaves after that with a downed expression.
Go pack your bags, I've already gone far
The camera then warps again to the dressing room, where we see Adala and Zack comforting Sybil, who looked as if she were crying. It then pans onto ELV on the other side of the room, who happens to pass by and (unintentionally) begins to eavesdrop.
Everything to prove, what can you say?
We now go to the cafeteria where we can see Holly, Evan, and Leticia chatting. Arreis and Kimmie have plates of food in their hand but Kimmie accidentally drops the food on Holly, making her mad. Mairead was on the other table, laughing, while Gabe didn't look too pleased.
I'll be there one day
The camera quickly zooms into a small library where Dustin, Oli, and Robert were playing cards. However Maya comes in and slams the table, causing all cards to fall off, getting glares from the three boys.
'Cause I wanna be famous
The scene then swaps to a camera room, where we can see Brea, Blaineley, Chris, and Chef arguing. Don then arrives and stops everyone but is stopped when Enrique starts scolding them.
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!
The scene switches to the office room where we can see Chris holding a bunch of papers, then leaves his office with a note that says "NO TRESPASSING" in big red letters.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
The first "I wanna be" shows the Sopranos (Janice, Sami, Toxa, Beatrice, Kimmie) against the Tenors (Alec, Colin, Zack, Lyle, Oli). The second "I wanna be" shows the Mezzo-Sopranos (Vanessa, Misha, Adala, May, Mairead) and the Mezzo-Tenors (Gordon, Pierre, Therion, Nash, Robert) shaking hands. The "I wanna be famous" shows the Altos (Arabelle, Antoinette, Mag, Sybil, Arreis) and Basses (Rival, Ryder, Carter, ELV, Gabe) sharing a group hug.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
The fourth "I wanna be" shows the four interns standing there with mixed expressions. The fifth "I wanna be" shows the five judges with different reactions from different performances. In the second "I wanna be famous" shows the five hosts crossing their arms with smirks on their faces.
whistling in tune*
The whole cast can now be seen on the stage, bowing as the audience applauds them loudly. Flowers were being thrown to the stage as the curtain closed, revealing the season's title, "Total Drama Act II: Musical Power" in gold letters.
End opening theme*
Aftermath II: Might Just Be a Lyle-ability
Night 10, 10:00PM
Fresh Ent. Building - Achievement Gallery
"Oh, the highlights were played alright." Evander's voice was heard from the side. "Can't believe that you only chose the elimination scenes. Except for maybe Episode 6, but still."
"Uh… do I need to apologize again?" Rosa asked.
Vivianne stepped in. "Sorry Rosa. Evander's just… cranky like always."
"No-" Evander was about to blurt out but Vivianne stopped him by pushing him towards the ground.
"Anyway, welcome back everyone to the Act II aftermath!" Vivianne said after what almost seemed like a full minute of trying to get Evander to chill.
The bulky boy got up and dusted himself off. "What an intro, ViVi."
"Yeah, thanks."
"No problem."
"I was being sarcastic, you-"
"Yeah. We get it." Evander sighed. "Anyways, please welcome back the Act I cast!"
The camera pans to the Act I cast who were all seated on the couches at the far right side of the gallery. However, there was a noticeable vacant spot.
"Are we missing anyone?" Vivianne asked the teens.
"Yeah, we're missing Xavier." Amanda answered.
Mairead widened her eyes. "Wait, I thought he was already in the hospital since yesterday? Oh no..." she sighed, growing even more worried for her friend.
"Cheer up Mairead, he'll get through this!" Kimmie rubbed her back in attempt to cheer her up, but this only made her feel worse.
"What if-"
"Shh…" Kimmie whispered. "Let's just hope the best for him. No negative thoughts."
Mairead nodded in understanding. "Okay."
Sal leaned backwards on his seat, looking up on the ceiling. "So… who's joining us today?"
"There's a lot, that's for sure." Faith answered. "Wait, don't you guys have a list?"
"Oh, yeah right…" Vivianne chuckled sheepishly. "Evander threw it in the trash bin… he thought it was a candy wrapper…"
Some of the others tried to hide their laughter (Olivia), while others just burst out (Alec).
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Alec laughed so hard that he had to wipe a tear from his eye. "But why?"
"Thank ViVi for giving me a piece of candy that had a white wrapper. She made me eat it because she said it was vanilla and then when I saw a trash bin, I threw the small list away instead. Oh and to make things worse, the garbage truck already picked it up." Evander explained.
Samuel facepalmed. "What an unbelievable story."
"You can say that again." Spear rolled his eyes.
"What an unbelievable story."
"I was being sarcastic, you twat!" Spear said as he was now the one facepalming.
"Wait, you can start now, right?" Clayton raised an eyebrow.
Vivianne sighed as she knew that things have to officially start soon. Looking at the camera, she prompt the cameraman (Or in this case, Rosa) to continue filming.
"Today, we will be meeting… uhh…" Evander stammered as he tried counting the recently eliminated contestants with his fingers. "Six? Seven?"
"Seven!" Vivianne groaned. "That's what you get for throwing the paper away."
"Well thank you for making me throw it away!" Evander shot back.
Both Clayton and Olivia pushed the bickering duo away from the scene, hell even away from the gallery so that they can bicker in peace.
"Anyway…" Olivia rolled her eyes and eventually stared intently at the camera. "One of our recently eliminated fellows will be joining us for a game of…"
"Truth or Lie Detector!" Clayton announced, he and Olivia lowkey taking the hosts jobs away from Evander and Vivianne. "But before that, let's welcome our 26th placer whom almost everyone in the Minor team despises her… I think… it's Arabelle!"
Arabelle came in the gallery, stomping mad as usual as she made her way towards the armchair. The side table with the lie detector was also present like last time.
"What the fuck is this-" Arabelle asked, obviously pointing towards the lie detector.
"A lie detector." Olivia answered. "Now please, do strap your hand on the device as you will partake your part on this aftermath."
"O… kay?"
SEGMENT #1: TRUTH OR LIE DETECTOR
"So Arabelle, question number one..." Olivia cleared her throat as she handed grabbed a cue card. "Why did you join the show?"
Arabelle sighed. "I want to prove myself to my mother. She is treating me like shit ever since my father's out of the picture. I mean, what kind of parent treats their child like dirt?!"
When she didn't got shocked, almost everyone in the room (save for ELV) had surprised expressions on their faces. Even Clayton nearly dropped his cue card.
Alec (27th Placer): "Even I never expected that from her."
"We're sorry to hear that, Arabelle. Hopefully your mom's watching right now so that she could see how much… potential you have." Clayton sympathized.
"Agreed." Olivia nodded, looking at her cue card for the second question. "However, why have you decided to act like that towards your fellow teammates? Or anyone in general?"
Arabelle tapped her free fingers on the armrest. "Maybe I took out all my anger towards them."
Once again, she didn't got shocked. Everyone else (minus ELV again) got shocked instead. (No, not electric-shock, I meant surprised-shock)
Alec (27th): "There are already a lot of surprises and it's only Arabelle so far." He thhen noticed something. "Wait, why am I still here…?"
"And… last question…" Clayton cleared his throat as well. "What did you regret in the show?"
"My attitude." Arabelle answered, the device not shocking the girl once more. "Maybe if I would've been nicer then I wouldn't be here now. But that doesn't mean I don't want to go here of course."
Olivia nodded. "Thanks for answering, Arabelle." The former contestant nodded and joined the others. "Up next, we have our favorite cowboy who somehow ended up in 25th… please welcome Nash!"
A loud "Yee to the Haw!" was heard off to the entrance (it was obviously Nash) startling the cast. The southern cowboy sauntered his way in with his favorite cowboy hat in his head. He plopped his way to the chair, staring on the lie detector. "What in tarnation is this?"
"It's a lie detector! How do you guys not know what this is?" Clayton facepalmed. "Do you guys see this in variety shows or something?"
"I don't really watch those, partner." Nash countered coolly, strapping his hand on the device. "Throw me those questions, partner!"
"Alright then." Olivia eyed him, already getting weirded out by the fellow. "Hmm… this is an interesting one… can you spill some beans between Carter and Mag's conflict?"
Almost everyone (again, except for ELV) looked all the more interested as they leaned forward to listen. Hell, even Samuel got out a notepad and a pen from thin air. Nash however, raised an eyebrow in utter confusion as he genuinely had no idea what they were talking about.
That is, until his eyes widened, coming into a realization.
"Oh… that…" Nash chuckled. "You know partners, based on their conversations I've heard on camera and off camera, I think Mag could possibly be a daughter of Chris. Sometimes her choice of words are kinda Chris-like, partners, even her smirk is kinda like Chris' for darn toothin'."
When he wasn't shocked, everyone was surprised for the umpteenth time this episode… and then there's ELV chilling in the back.
Olivia had to blink twice to regain her composure. "Is that some kind of theory or-"
"Maybe." Nash tipped his cowboy hat. "Than again, maybe not, y'all."
Olivia glanced at her cue card. "What I just said is not supposed to be part of a question, so I will be delivering the real second question. Some fans are trying to get you to confirm that you joined this show to prove to your father, something similar to Arabelle but you also wish that your friend Dixie is watching, if I am correct."
Nash nodded, but didn't say anything after that. As he didn't get shocked, Clayton widened his eyes.
Clayton (TDA1 Alumni): "Did everyone made a deal before coming here and swore to tell the truth to everyone so that they won't get shocked? Very funny guys…"
"Hmm… okay, last question." Clayton said, holding up his cue card. "Are you mad at Misha for eliminating you using the Whole Rest?"
"Not really," Nash answered, but was now shocked by the lie detector, causing him to swear some… Southern obsceneties… "PARTNER, WHAT THE HELL-"
"Relax Nash, that thing doesn't kill you." Kim assured from the other side.
Nash's mouth formed an O, astonished at the little device before standing up, unbuckling the strap out of his hand as well. "Well I'll be damned!" He exclaimed gleefully, joining the pack of teens seated on the other side.
"Okay…" Olivia nodded slowly, before turning back to the camera. "Well, up next, we will now welcome in one of our dancers of the season who landed on 24th. Please welcome, Janice!"
Janice stepped into the gallery carefully, waving at everyone with a nervous smile as she was greeted with a round of applause from the other teens. Her eyes then grew a bit more comcerned aas they landed on the lie detector. "Wait don't tell me that this is-"
"A lie detector? Absolutely." Olivia smiled, (but it was an "I'm so done" kind of smile) and gestured Janice to sit down and strap her hand on the device.
Claayton smirked as he read his cue card but cleared his throat as to not make things seem obvious. "Alright, question one: Have you ever suspected that Lee was actually in love with you the more you hang out with Lyle?"
Janice widened her eyes with surprised as she stammered. "No- wait… what-" she was suddenly cut off as she felt her hand getting shocked, causing her to recoil her hand. "Okay… maybe a little bit! How could I just ignore the way Lee stares at me though?!"
Kim made a tsk tsk sound from the side. "I feel you girl." she added, followed by a snarl towards Samuel.
"Okay, I'm sorry, yeesh!" Samuel apologized, but only made some of the others laugh.
"Ooh…" Amanda teased both Kim and Janice. "Looks like you guys have some admirers following you guys~"
Janice just sighed. "Well, I can't just tell Lee that I already have a boyfriend now, can I?"
Amanda's eyes grew even wider. "Wait, you and Lyle are a thing now?!"
Olivia facepalmed. "Have you been paying attention?"
"Maybe?"
"Good." Olivia nodded as if nothing had happened. "Here's question number two but, it's a little bit… touchy… so to speak. You don't have to answer if you don't want to. " Olivia cleared her throat once more as Janice nodded, ready for the question. "How would you help your father now that you've been eliminated?"
The dancer shrugged. "I honestly have no idea. This show was an option for me to earn some money but… I am honestly not sure if my brother has options too as we are not actually close."
"Understood." Clayton said as soon as they noticed that Janice was telling the truth. "Last question before we move onto our next fellow castmate, who would you blame for your elimination?"
"I would blame it on Arabelle for not contributing in the film challenge, but I think I should be blamed for losing. I couldn't control the camera properly and I think I should've tried to be more calm on the spot." Janice answered.
"Well I can't blame you." Sal commented. "I mean, who does well under pressure?"
"Some people do." Olivia answered, pointing to Faith, Clayton, and Alec in particular. "Maybe even ELV if he fixes his stage presence."
"My what?" ELV asked.
"Stage presence." Olivia facepalmed. "How could you not know the meaning of stage presence?"
"Because stage isn't my thing." ELV answered coolly without putting too much effort in his answer.
"Yeah… thank you Janice." Clayton said, grabbing another cue card. "Now, please welcome our loveable veteran who was always seen with a juice box last season, it's Oli!"
Oli made an entrance to the gallery by sliding his feet on the floors, as well as winking on the ladies (particularly Amanda, who only groaned).
"Ah, the mighty lie detector, huh?" He said, strapping his hand onto the said device.
"Finally, someone who actually knows what a lie detector is!" Clayton cheered, but was met with a few glares in less than a second. "So… question number one… which season you think you did better?"
"Definitely this one." Oli answered without a doubt as thee device didn't shocked him. "I was the first boot last season for goodness sake! And it's probably thanks to Spear."
"Oh, so this is how you thank me after saving you from drowning in the waterfall last season?" Spear asked disappointingly.
"Oh yeah… sorry about that." Oli apologized, rubbing the back of his head, ashamed.
Spear nodded in understanding. "You're good."
Sal widened his eyes. "Well, that was quick." He said, laying his head back down on the couch. "Was lowkey expecting a fight or something." He added, promptig a facepalm from almost 50% of the crew.
"Yeah… I see…" Clayton answered unenthusiastically as soon as he saw the crew's reactions. "So Oli, who do you consider as your closest friend on the game, not including the veterans?"
"Gordon." Oli answered, once again, the device didn't shock him. "I thought he was a scary person at first, but he became my ally and then we had some good chats before I got eliminated."
"Pretty much these so called 'chats' you guys had were off-camera so we don't know about them." Amanda added.
"Or maybe they were on-camera but Amanda didn't even pay attention to the show as usual." Meredith said.
Kimmie grinned. "Oh my god Meredith, you finally said something!"
"...what…?"
"Okay Oli, last question!" Clayton called out (as to silence the Act I cast in the background). "Who do you think had the Time Signature before you did? The device will shock you if you get the answer wrong."
Oli panicked. "What!? So if all my answers are wrong then that's how many times I'm gonna get shocked?"
"Yup." Clayton nodded.
Oli gulped. "Umm… Ryder?"
An electrical sound was heard as Oli's hand got shocked.
"OW OW OW OW OW!" Oli shrieked, waving his hand so hard that the lie detector yeeted away from his hand and hit Olivia directly on the face causing her to land on the floor (hell even Clayton had to duck since he was right next to her).
"Uh…" Alec cleared his throat. "You guys want me to call Evander and ViVi or something?"
"Please do." Olivia groaned as her forehead began to bruise.
"Sorry!" Oli apologized, getting out of the chair and rushing towards Olivia. Should we call a medic?"
Olivia stood up. "An ice pack would be alright."
"Alright." Oli nodded and jogged out of the gallery to find an ice pack.
"WAIT HE DIDN'T EVEN ANSWERED AGAIN-" the Act I champion tried to stop him. "Oh well. The correct answer is Colin, anyway."
"Wait… Colin?" Amanda asked. "When did he had the-"
"It was an Eighth Note, you idiot. Oli had it and it just turned into a Time Signature. I don't even know why the hell you didn't knw that!" Kim ranted. "If I'm not mistaken, you were also the one who said that the 'Eighth Note is a fraud' last time during Theory Hour."
"Chill partners, I'm sure we'll all be headin' to this… Theory Hour thing-a-ma-jig soon!" Nash said optimistically.
"Let's… move on…" Clayton said unsurely. "God, I am a terrible host. Anyways, our next teen was unfairly placed on 22nd due to a certain mishap, please welcome Lyle!"
Lyle entered the gallery, in a not-that-formal manner compared to his entrance of the show. He sat down on the armchair and strapped his hand in. "This thing won't hurt, right?"
"It will hurt if you don't tell the truth." Olivia groaned as she clutched her head. At the same time, Oli returned with an ice pack and gave it to her.
"Okay then… ask away." Lyle smirked as he got ready.
"What would you feel if you knew that the challenge after your elimination is a dance challenge?"
"Wait, a what?" Lyle widened his eyes. "So you're saying that they just did a dance challenge?"
"Yup." Clayton nodded. "That's why Yves and Jianne aren't here."
"Ah, so that's why the trainees weren't complete." Faith nodded.
"Wait, who are Yves and Jianne?" Lyle asked.
Olivia turned to him. "You'll meet them soon, maybe tomorrow."
"Okay then." The boy nodded. "Wait, have I answered the question?"
"Kind of." Clayton shrugged. "Hm… second question… who do you blame for your elimination?"
"Definitely Toxa." Lyle answered without a doubt. "No doubt that she's going next if she keeps up the heinous act."
"Welp." Clayton gulped. "Looks like she hasn't changed her ways then. Well… the last question is… how would you feel if Janice ended up with Lee instead of you?"
Lots of "ooh"'s were heard from the castmates.
"I would be fine with it." Lyle chuckled. "I mean, if Janice is happy, then I'm happy for her."
"Awww~" Janice cooed. Once Lyle stood up from his chair, the girl pulled him into a hug.
"Aww, that's just sweet." Olivia smiled as the two joined the rest of the cast. "But anyway, up next we have an improviser who is known to be a strong player due to her leadership skills, it's Adala!"
Gabe entered the gallery instead of the mentioned. "Uhm… Adala had to be rushed to the hospital so I don't think she'll be able to join us tonight."
"Ouch, that's a shame." Alec hissed. "Poor Adala."
"So I guess it's Gabe's turn then?" Olivia asked. "Hopefully we'll have time to visit Adala and Xavier once this aftermath is done."
"Oh, this." Gabe said as he took a seat. "This is a loe detector, right?"
"Absolutely." Olivia nodded. "So first question, what would you have done so you wouldn't have injured Adala?"
"I should have at least caught her when I had the chance." Gabe answered sadly. "Now I feel guilty for everything."
Olivia sighed. "I agree, that must not have been so good. But here's the second question, which season you did better in?"
"I think… last season." Gabe answered without a trace of doubt. I didn't caused any injuries there, and I was only eliminated due to a randomizer."
"I say you did well on both actually." Clayton added. "You were a really good contender."
"Thanks." Gabe smiled a bit.
"Now for the last question," Olivia looked at the cue card. "Do you still have any feelings for Meredith?"
"Uhm… no-"
He then got shocked.
"Stupid little shit-" Gabe swore as he was electrocuted by the device. "Okay, maybe a little." He winced. "But it's not too serious though. We're still just friends. Period."
Meredith sighed in relief. "Please tell me this segment is over."
"Yes." Olivia nodded towards the historian. "Yes it is."
SEGMENT #2: GOODBYE MESSAGES
"Let's go now to the goodbye messages!" Clayton announced towards the seven previously eliminated teens. "Some of your teammates have filmed some goodbye messages for you guys."
"Let's check some of them out." Olivia quickly said as she struggled to keep her ice pack intact on her head. "Play the clips."
"Alright." said Rosa as she turned on the television.
From Episode 7: All Tricks Behind A Mask
Adala (Minor): "I'm sorry to see you guys leave. You guys were good teammates as well. But Arabelle… I hope you will seek the help you need in the future. Good luck."
Colin (Minor): "Hey, hope you guys are doing just fine. Also Oli, sorry that you have the Time Signature… it should be me going home instead of you but… I guess we can't change things now, huh? You deserve to go further than me in my opinion, but anyway, I wish you all the best of luck though."
Antoinette (Major): "Well, sucks for you guys to be eliminated. Here's to hoping you guys are doing good right now. Also Janice, I suggest that you don't blame yourself for your elimination. Sure you messed up, but that's just how the game works, right? Don't be so down on yourself."
Carter (Major): "I hope to see you guys soon. Don't be discouraged that you got eliminated. Just remember that this is a game and there could be one winner. Also Nash, if you see this… don't tell anyone what you've heard between me and Mag."
"Ehehehe…" Nash chuckled sheepishly, glancing at everyone present. "Sorry, partner. Looks like I kinda broke that rule..."
Arabelle, Janice, and Oli just nodded in understanding from the other goodbye clips, appreciating what there team memebrs had said.
"I don't blame Colin for my elimination though." Oli perked up. "It would've been better if no one found that 'Eighth Note' in the first place."
"Agreed." Janice nodded.
"I see… but okay guys, let's play the next tapes." Clayton announced as another clip began playing.
From Episode 8: It Don't Mean A Thing
Gordon (Minor): He sighed. "First Oli and now Lyle, well it's hard having your friends get eliminated. So Lyle, I hope you're doing good at there, but hey at least you're with Janice now, right? Try not to dwell on that incident, m'kay?" He chuckled. "Also, I hope Xavier recovers fast as well."
Therion (Major): "Sorry to see you go, Lyle. You were a great teammate and it's really unfair that you have to go like that. Of course you won't do something like that and there must be a reason behind it. You're a good person, we all know that. But best wishes for you in the future, and let's hope that Xavier heals soon."
Lyle smiled after hearing these messages from Gordon and Therion. "I wonder how Xavier us doing though?"
"Just got a text from the medic staff." Mairead announced. "He's still recovering but he'll join in the next aftermath. For Adala, it will take a while for her leg to heal, but she'll also be joining us next aftermath so that's the time where you guys can interview her. I guess there's nothing to worry about, huh?"
"I probably should apologize when Xavier comes back, it's only right that way." Lyle added as Janice held hands with him.
"Good idea." Clayton said. "Let's move onto the last batch of clips now, shall we?"
From Episode 9: Let's Burn It Up
Sami (Minor): "Hey Gabe! We're still sorry to have you go along with Adala. Our team is getting even smaller now without you guys around and honestly, we have no idea how to move forward anymore without you guys." She sighed sadly. "Best of luck out there."
Robert (Minor): "Hey bro, it's… honestly getting harder for me that you're gone, you know? First Kimmie and now you… you know, I can't lead my team all by myself. Now that Arreis moved to Major, things just went like, ten times harder. But here's to hoping that we'll pull this off. Hope you and Adala are safe out there, see you guys soon."
Sybil (Minor): "Hey guys! The team and I are still bummed at what just happen, we're not even sure how to go on now, but… hope you guys cheer for us back there, and for you Adala, I really appreciate to have you as a friend, really. You're the only one whom I actually opened up to and… without you, things just got harder… hope you stay well. As well as you, Gabe, you don't know how much we missed you."
Zack (Minor): "Hey Adala, if you're seeing this, get well soon! And Gabe… please, don't think about beating yourself up for what happened. It was an accident. Accidents happen. I may have not really watched Act I but I know that you're genuinely a good person and you would never do things like that on purpose. We love you guys, you know that."
Gabe almost felt like crying at that point. He genuinely misses his team so much and it pained him whenever he thought of the dance challenge that made them cheat. Meredith who was seated next to him, patted his back.
"Awww…" Clayton commented. "How sweet of them. I'm in envy now since Act I never really had a good aftermath."
"Blame Brea for that one." Sal chuckled. "It's her fault that the aftermath was so boring."
"Hey, you guys didn't liked our performance?" Kim pouted. "Well… that's a shame."
"Shame on you." Samuel joked.
"Well… anyway…" Olivia said but her ice pack fell off her head. "It's Theory Hour time."
SEGMENT #3: THEORY HOUR
"Oop-" Clayton gasped as he saw his paper. "Looks like four of our previous theories were true."
"WAIT WHAT-" Olivia quickly asked, forgetting to pick up her fallen ice pack and rushed up to Clayton, snatching the paper. "So my theory is false?"
"SPOILER-!" Clayton scolded the runner-up of last season as he got back his paper. "Like I said, four of our previous theories have been proven. The makers of these theories will recieve a prize of… wait for it… a hundred dollars!"
"Wait, what about a hundred grand?" Sal asked, but Faith smacked the back of his forehead.
Clayton deadpanned. "Yeah… I'll just read the theories."
#1: "More than two people are gonna be eliminated next time." -Alec
#3: "The Beatrice, May, and Ryder love triangle will be worse than the Mara, Therion, and Ulysses one." -Clayton
#4: "One of the items is actually a Time Signature." -ELV
#14: "Mag and Carter are gonna drag Nash into their problem." -Spear
"I actually won something?!" Alec and ELV exclaimed in unison.
"I didn't even know that my own theory is listed." Clayton chuckled. "Oh well, a hundred bucks for me."
A random staff member came in and handed four bundles of a hundred bucks to Clayton. The former champion then gave a bundle to Alec, ELV, and Spear.
"So it says here that if your theory has happened or if te chance of your theory happening in the future episodes is zero percent, then you can guess again." Clayton added. "But if your theory still has a chance of happening in the future, then you cannot guess again."
"Wait, so you're saying that I can't guess again until the end of the season?" Olivia asked him.
"Since your theory is about the winner, then… yeah, you can't guess anymore." Clayton snickered.
"Oh, how quaint-" Olivia ranted but stopped herself. "Once again, we are going in alphabetical order." she said as a staff member gave sticky notes to some of them.
The screen splits into ten (Alec, Arabelle, Clayton, ELV, Gabe, Janice, Lyle, Nash, Oli, and Spear) as the teens wrote down their predictions. The other teens watched as Olivia was on the bulletin board, waiting for them. "Alec, you will be going first."
Theory #17
Alec went up and pasted his sticky note on the bulletin board. "My theory is that the conflict between Sami and Sybil is useless and that they are actually referring to completely different people during the time of their accidents because all of that is just pure coincidental."
"Ooh, that is a really good one." Kim commented. "You know Alec, if there was a 'Best Theorist' award for this season, you would definitely have it."
Faith was grinning from the side but it soon grew into a smirk.
"That's happening in the end of the season." She blurted.
Sal raised an eyebrow. "Proof?"
Faith grabbed the television remote and turned it on. "Watch. I saw this earlier."
From Episode 6: Blank Sided Coins
Brea (Host): "There's more to this season than just the overall winner." She said. "There's a special awards ceremony episode before the reunion. Some of the awards there are the Best Season Protagonist, Best Season Antagonist, Best Aftermath Theorist, Favorite Guest, Favorite Judge, hell there's even a Fan Favorite Award for the contestants. That's not all, but those are just some." She snickered. "No one can hear this, right? I swear, if you see this clip, I am going to kill you."
Everyone's jaws hung wide open.
"Faith, you sneaky son of a bitch." ELV stated, (shocking some of them since he never said anything like that before lol).
"I know right?" The percussionist laughed. "Looks like we're not only looking forward to one winner."
"Brea's gonna kill us." Spear said. "And it's all thanks to Faith."
"You're welcome." Faith smiled.
Theory #18
Arabelle went up to the bulletin board and smacked the sticky note. "My prediction is that ELV's notebook may be surrendered to the hosts."
"My what!?" ELV stood up.
Lyle widened his eyes and fumbled through his pockets. "Oh shit-"
"You dropped it before you head out of the theater." Kimmie pointed out.
ELV approached Lyle, anger rising up on his face.
"You said that you would give me back my notebook."
"I had no idea that your notebook was no longer in my pockets, I swear." Lyle said defensively.
"Well then who has it now?" ELV asked everyone else.
"Toxa does." Mairead answered.
ELV sighed, going back to his seat. "Great job. Just… great job."
"I swear, Arabelle is the queen when it comes to fights and arguments." Clayton commented again. "Like, she can make two people argue without even trying."
"That's just… kind of my thing." Arabelle shrugged. "Makes for good views though, you guys think?"
"Definitely." Meredith nodded.
Theory #19
"My theory," Clayton began as he placed his own sticky note. "Is related to my previous one. But now, my prediction is that Ryder does not end up with Beatrice, May, Arreis, or Antoinette."
"What's with Arreis and Antoinette?" Amanda asked.
"I SWEAR AMANDA, YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE GODDAMN SHOW!" Kim shouted before calming herself down. "Listen. If you remembered that in EP6, some paranormal shit made Ryder and Antoinette made out so it could be possible that there's something between them. Even in EP7, Arreis questioned some things to Arreis and Ryder was trying to hide it away from her so there is a possibility that those will change and Arreis will try to help him. Beatrice and May are history."
Olivia blinked. "You know what Alec, maybe you and Kim could battle it out for that theorist spot."
"Question though, why is Clayton so invested with the Beatrice-May-Ryder-Arreis-Antoinette plot?" Samuel asked with full curiosity.
"I don't know, I'm just more invested towards that." Clayton chuckled. "Don't get me wrong, everything else is interesting too, it's just that that one caught my eye the most."
Theory #20
"Someone not a contestant is going to get involved in an accident." ELV said, sticking his note on the board. "Let's say interns, hosts, judges, or even guests."
"This is somehow connected to my theory, correct?" Kim asked.
ELV shook his head. "Not really. Yours has to do something with everyone including the contestants. Mine's excludes them."
"Ah, I see. Hope that doesn't happen though." Alec nodded.
"So that I won't win." ELV chuckled, resting his head on his seat.
Theory #21
"I think that the intern in the black coat is Hah." Gabe said, placing his note on the board after ELV.
"That's funny. A lot of fans said the same thing you did." Clayton said.
"Wait, really?"
"Yeah, really."
Gabe scratched his head. "Can… can I change it?"
"Nope."
"Crud."
Alec laughed. "I like the fact that this segment is called Theory Hour yet the segment doesn't last an hour and it only lasts up to thirty minutes."
"Well, Theory Half An Hour or Theory Thirty Minutes doesn't sound good, partner." Nash chuckled.
"You guys have a point there…" Gabe nodded.
Theory #22
It was Janice's turn. "So here's what I think: Toxa may look like the main villain, but someone else is actually the main villain, we just don't see it."
Everyone in the room could see the possibility of that happening, especially Clayton since he was friends with the mentioned.
"Who do you think would be he main villain though?" Olivia asked her.
"Hm… maybe someone like Colin? Or even Pierre. I'm not entirely sure." Janice answered.
"That's an interesting theory actually… because Toxa could be eliminated next." Oli pointed out. "She has like, five people against her or something."
"True, partner." Nash nodded.
Theory #23
"I think that someone is going to quit the competition." Lyle said as he taped his own sticky note. "Like last season with Faith."
"Oh… yeah… that... " Faith sighed.
Lyle noticed Faith's reaction and immediately apologized. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"No, you're fine, really. I've move on from it, don't worry guys." Faith smiled. "Besides you guys are like family to me now. Who knows, once Act II ends, we can all hang out."
"That will be crowded as hell… forty-two people..." Arabelle commented. "But that sounds like a good idea."
Everyone smiled.
Theory #24
"You know what, partners?" Nash said, the cowboy pressing his sticky note on the bulletin board. "I'm just going to bet on my own two cents that Mag is Chris' daughter and that Carter is referring to a different person."
"I don't mean to toot your own horn Nash, but you can't just make that guess just because Mag can do Chris' antics." Sal interfered.
"Like father and daughter, partner. Think about it. Plus, you partners haven't seen what I saw, off-camera." Nash added.
"Yeah guys, Nash has a point." Samuel said. "I mean, why would Chris even have sex with Carter's mother in the first place?"
"Samuel I swear, you and Pierre are probably just the same person." Mairead facepalmed.
Theory #25
"My prediction is that one of the judges may resign or retire before the season ends." Oli declared.
"What makes you say that?" Olivia asked.
"I'm not sure." Oli answered. "I mean, if you look through the previous episodes, Evan is still kind of salty about the loss of his son. I'm not really sure. Plus, Holly is… you know… old."
"You really think that? Mrs. Rosewood is that old?" Mairead chuckled a bit. "Not to sound rude but, maybe not as old as you thought she would be."
"We don't know for sure but good prediction, Oli." Clayton said.
Theory #26
Spear had a huge smirk plastered on his face as he pasted his sticky note on the gallery's bulletin board. "My prediction is that a couple in the show will end up doing something... kinky." he said with a chuckle towards the end.
"Has everyone been infected by the Samuel-virus lately?" Kim facepalmed.
"Hey, that could happen you know! Considering that almost half of the cast are on legal age." Samuel wriggled his eyebrows.
"Yet some people decided to do that before they even hit legal." Samuel said towards Kim.
"Shut the fuck up-"
"OKAY HOW DID WE EVEN GET TO THIS TOPIC!" Meredith shouted.
Olivia checked the clock. "Well, it's almost time to-"
Suddenly, Evander and Vivianne barged into the room.
"What did we miss?" Vivianne asked while sipping on a smoothie.
"Wait, you guys went out for smoothies this whole time Olivia and I were hosting?" Clayton asked in disbelief.
"Maybe they're a thing now." Arabelle teased.
"No, it's just a peace offering." Vivianne rolled her eyes. "Is the episode done? The CEO's taking us to the hospital so we could go visit Adala and Xavier then if possible, he might take us all out for dinner with them."
Alec stood up, his mood brightening up. "You guys aren't serious."
"We are serious." Evander said. "We're leaving in like, ten minutes."
"I hope the two of them are doing great right now." Lyle commented.
"Same." Gabe nodded. "It's time that we apologize to them as well."
Olivia turned to the camera. "Well, this has been Olivia Mims,"
"And Clayton Lunar." Clayton added. "And we'll be seeing you guys next time on the aftermath of-
"TOTAL DRAMA ACT II: THE SECOND SONATINE!" the whole cast waved. "HAPPY HOLIDAYS!"
As soon as the camera stopped filming, the teens all exited the achievement gallery.
