The episode starts with Don narrating. "Okay, what happened last time, is going to take a long time time to forget." "You saw the episode, you know what happened, there was an illegal laboratory set up by a modern day Nazi." "Whatever the heck was down there, thank God it was not on camera." "It turns out the Ezekiel from episode 1 of Total drama world tour onwards, was actually an illegally created clone." "The real Ezekiel is now currently in a mental hospital, suffering from PTSD." "Now, let's go over some positives." "Hazel took a dump on Chris's eye, and it was freaking hilarious, I love karma." "Then we went off to Alaska, where we found out that Josee's specialty, is competing in snow, as she managed to win the snowmobile challenge." "In the same challenge, Chris, Rock, and Pete lost there chance at a million bucks." "There are only five challenges left in the regular season, and still, nobody has clinched a spot in the chase." "Today, nobody will be clinching a spot, because there will not be a challenge this episode." "The reason why will be explained very soon on, the race around the states."

Intro consists of a shorter version of the final countdown.

Self defense class with Officer Chambers was the same as per usual, with Harold struggling to defend himself while only using one hand, and Jay continuing to prove how good of a fighter he was. As they were walking back to the hotel, Lorenzo began to strike up a conversation with Jen. "I'm not asking you to be my girlfriend, but I am asking you out on a date" said Lorenzo. "Oh wow, okay, I never had somebody ask me out on a date before" said Jen. "I wouldn't necessarily say that I have a crush on you, but I won't deny that I think you're hot" said Lorenzo. "So basically, you want to be friends with benefits" said Jen. "Not really, it's just one date, just because you're not romantically interested in someone, doesn't mean you can't go on a date" said Lorenzo.

(Confession cam- Going on dates can make people nervous)

Jen- "I don't really have too much to say about the date, other than the fact that we spent the whole time playing darts, and talked about our favorite sports movies."

**End confessional**

(Room 1- the fashion bloggers)

"Honestly, your date actually turned out better than expected" said Tom. "Something that he absolutely refused to talk about, was the food poisoning he had to deal with earlier this season" said Jen. "I can understand why he would want to forget that memory" said Tom.

(Room 2- the stepbrothers)

After his date, Lorenzo decided to go to bed, despite how early it was. This was the golden opportunity, for Chet to get him. He got under the covers next to him, and farted. Then he covered Lorenzo with the blanket. When Lorenzo got out from under the sheets, he glared at his brother. "Get out of here, we are not sharing a bed, that's gay" he said. "Screw you, it's cold in here, I need to keep warm" said Chet. "Then I guess I might as well return the favor" said Lorenzo. This time, it was Lorenzo giving Chet a dutch oven.

(Room 17- the rockers)

"Oh Lord, these coons are absolutely hideous" said Spud. Rock immediately froze, unable to believe that Spud would actually say something so racist. He looked at the pictures that Spud was checking out on Google images, and found a bunch of raccoons.

(Room 13- the tennis rivals)

"As soon as this show is over, we should go fishing in the Campbell river" said Pete. "Screw that, let's go to Ucluelet instead" said Gerry.

(Room 8- Jay and Chris)

"I just lost my chance at winning, and it's all your fault" said Chris. "If your diseased seagull hadn't shat on my eye, i'd be able to see more clearly, and I would have won the snowmobile race. "Shut up, you have no right to insult Hazel, she did the right thing" said Jay. "You need to get it through to your thick skull, that nobody gives a damn about you."

(Room 7- the goths)

"I'm not going to lie, i'm still incredibly disturbed by the entire situation with Ezekiel" said Ennui. "I know, he has suffered way too much, I really hope he can recover from this" said Crimson.

Before everyone got on the bus next morning, Don had something to say. "Normally I wouldn't tell you what state the challenge is in until we're there, but in this case, I don't think I have that much of a choice." "We're temporarily heading back into Canada, in order to enter the state of Alaska." "It's going to take us over a day to get there, with how far away it really is."

They were all soon on the bus, ready to begin this long road trip. Getting back into Canada was incredibly difficult, as there were a bunch of negotiations involving the border. There were some troubles that Sanders had to go through, in order to get her sword into Canada.

With how far away Alaska was, it was going to take them a long time to get there. They would have to stop for gas and bathroom breaks more often than they usually do. During one of those stops, as Noah was just walking around and minding his own business, an old lady walked up to him. "I've been a diehard fan of you ever since the first episode of the Ridongculous race, and I was wondering if I could get your autograph" said The lady. Noah then signed the old lady's purse, and then she handed him a shining green stone.

Once they were on the bus again, Noah was sitting with the geniuses. They were inspecting the green stone that Noah had just received from a complete stranger. "There's no questioning it, it's a real emerald" said Mary. "That lady must be an incredibly huge fan, if she was willing to give you something so expensive" said Ellody. "I think I know what to do with the emerald, i'm going to take two small pieces of it, and encrust them into me and Emma's wedding rings" said said Noah.

Later on that day, as everyone was sitting in a restaurant to have lunch, Noah told Emma about his idea, and she absolutely loved it. While waiting for his food to arrive, Junior actually ended up falling asleep. He was woken up, when he felt a slight tap on his shoulder. He reluctantly opened his eyes, and saw that Owen was sitting right next to him. "Junior, I need some advice" said Owen. "Even though she's married to someone else, I still have feelings for Izzy, and I need help moving on." "The reason why I came to you for advice, is because you were in the same position as me at one point." "You had feelings for Carrie, moved on, and found someone else, I just want to know how you were able to do it." "Well let's just get something important out of the way, there is a major difference between having a crush on someone, and being in love with someone" said Junior. "The first thing you need to figure out, is wether or not your feelings for Izzy are a crush, or if you legitimately love her." "Now, that being said, if you ever do find somebody else, you should still remain friends with Izzy." "If there are no longer any romantic emotions between you two, but you still think of each other as decent people, you should still occasionally hang out with her from time to time." "You may not get as lucky as I do, and it might take a little longer, but i'm sure that you'll find someone else."

(Confession cam- Romance is a complicated subject)

Junior- "The are a bunch of people in this world, that could have given a better explanation than me." "Me and Carrie haven't talked about the crush that I used to have on her." "Ever since the season started, we haven't actually sat down and had a legit conversation." "I think one big reason, is the incident that happened in Wyoming." "The thing that makes everything awkward, is the fact that I was the one who ended up winning that challenge." "I still have that Full house DVD, and I do acknowledge that I won it fair and square, but it keeps reminding me of the fact that Devin's health is pretty fucked up, and he might not be around much longer."

**End confessional**

Everyone was soon back on the bus, and the goths were discussing something serious with Emma. "Okay, given what just happened, we are begging for an answer" said Crimson. "Is Ezekiel invited to your wedding?" asked Ennui. "Well, seeing as how he was innocent the whole time, I guess" said Emma. "That is, if he's gotten over his trauma from being tortured beyond the point of insanity." "It's all going to depend on the doctors in that mental hospital, and wether or not they deem that he's not a danger to himself and those around him."

Eventually, the sun had finally gone down, and Don had parked the bus beside a hotel. "Okay, it's getting late, we all better head on up to bed" he said. He then turned to the camera. "Tune in next time to see what we have planned for these guys once we're in Alaska, on the next episode of the race around the states." The screen then went black.

Epilogue

It was late at night, and Jay was leading Junior somewhere. "Why do we have to do this at 2:00 AM?" asked Junior. "This could have waited till morning, I need as much rest as possible with how much my head is hurting." "Trust me, you want this off camera moment to be private, you wouldn't be able to handle it if anyone else knew" said Jay. They then walked into a cemetery. Junior did not understand what was going on, until they stopped at a certain gravestone that read:

R.I.P

Sarah Henrietta Santori

October 28 1975- December 4 1985

Junior could not believe it, right in front of him underground, was the remains of the sister that he loved so much. "You know, when Mickey pointed out that he was here, it took a lot of resistance for me to not tell him who Sarah really is" said Jay. "I just thought that while we were in the area, you'd want to speak to her again." Junior then got down on his knees, and stood there in silence, staring at Sarah's grave. "Hey Sarah, I haven't spoken to you since the Loki incident" said Junior. "If i'm being honest right now, with all the things that have been going on, i've still been thinking about you this entire time." "I know you died long before I was born, but I still love you, and really miss you, but not as much as dad." He then put his arms out in front of him, and was now leaning overtop of where she was buried. Then he began crying. "Please, I want to see you again just one last time, just one." "Just one more time, I want to give you a hug, don't you realize how much i'm suffering right now?" "I am in a place, that is worse than hell, and I mean, a thousand times worse." "I just want to see you one last time, please, come back, for me and for dad." Junior was now becoming even more upset, because what he wanted more that ever, he was never going to get. He left the gravestone and went off to find a closet to start bawling his eyes out in, but not before leaving a bouquet of roses at Sarah's grave.

Authors note: If you and your ex still consider each other as good people, there is nothing stopping you from remaining friends.

The cost of an Emerald, depends on what country you are in, and what jewelry store you are selling it to.

Ever since I started writing this over a year ago, I had already planned out a scene where Junior is crying at his sisters grave. Even though he knows it's never going to happen, he really wants to talk to his sister just one more time, he is absolutely convinced that his life is worse than a living hell.

As always, if you have an idea for a challenge in an upcoming state or a prize for a future challenge winner, feel free to let me know in a review.

Thank you for reading and please have a great day.
