The camera opened up on Sakamannano Island before zooming down to show Drew, "Last time on Total Drama Sakamannano Island! The merge finally hit us, and what a surprise that was to all the contestants. With the merge we saw the return of Will and Kaito, allowing Kodi and Van to be reunited with their best friends respectively. With the teams now dissolved, the first merge challenge was to do a good old round of metal detecting... with Wane being so good at it that everyone else fell short in comparison. In the end, Elizabeth ended up failing, but who can blame her when Wane was there," Drew shrugged, "Who will be sent home today? Find out right here... on Total... Drama... Sakamannano Island!"
Intro Start
Multiple cameras popped out from surfboards, tiki torches, statues of Drew, and other objects on the island. The camera then flew past Drew, Pamela, and Hack, with the former two arguing about something and the latter drinking from a barrel of rum.
"Dear mom and dad I'm doing fine, You guys are on my mind." The Camera went up the dead volcano, revealing Kaito setting up some of his stargazing equipment, and Vanessa helping him out.
"You asked me what I wanted to be, and now I think the answer is plain to see." The camera jumped down into the volcano, where Timothy was listening in on Kaito and Van's conversation with a radio. In addition to Timothy being there, Wane was checking the cages of shame for any lost coins or valuables.
"I wanna be famous." Wane dusted off one of the cages, revealing that Alex somehow got trapped inside. Wane tipped the cage over and kicked Alex out, before hopping inside of it to search for valuables.
"I wanna live close to the sun." The camera then made a cut to inside the mess hall, where Kodi was teaching Will how to play Chambers and Beasts at a table, with Will shaking his head and pretending to understand how to play the game.
"So pack your bags, 'cause I've already won." The camera moved outside where Melissa and Beatrice were chatting together.
"Everything to prove, nothing in my way." To the left of Melissa and Beatrice, May was walking until Paige jumped out of the bushes, scaring the daydreamer.
"I'll get there one day." The camera moved towards the nearby Hilahala hut, where Wyatt and Flora were both petting Spirit's belly.
"Cause I wanna be famous." On the other side of the area where the Haaheo mansion was, Klaas and King were playing a match of poker, with almost all of the chips being on King's side.
"Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na." Moving away from the hut and the mansion, Persephone and Sasha could be seen arguing about something.
"I wanna be, I wanna be famous." The camera jumped over to the beach of the island, where an oil-covered Brandon could be seen fixing up an old boat. Behind him, Elizabeth was pretending to be a scarecrow.
"I wanna be, I wanna be famous." Finally, the camera moved over to Becky, who was writing down song lyrics in a notepad. Becky turned around and noticed the camera, elbowing it to the ground for privacy. The shot was then cut to Buck, Mitch, Carlton, and Billy, who all set the camera down for the final shot, as they got the camera in position they ran behind Drew, causing the camera to flash and take a photo of all of everyone previously seen. The screen moved back to show the photo on a postcard that read 'Aloha from Hawaii!" with whistling accompanying it.
Intro End
Melissa was seen on the basketball court dribbling her basketball, grumbling to herself "Stupid Wane, stealing everyone's stuff. Getting my friend booted." she groaned to herself, "Why didn't I go with her? I could've helped her stay!" Melissa aimed the ball, "Well... now that she's gone, I guess I'm on my own. First things first is to be rid of that grimy fatso Wane." she tossed the ball at the net, which bounced off the rim much to her frustration.
"OW!" Melissa stopped when she heard the shrill cry of pain from her number one annoyance coming from the bush the ball landed in.
Melissa went over to the bush as Timothy popped out, with her ball being tossed out of the bush as well, "Timothy, I'm not in the mood for more of your spying right now."
"Ugh!" Timothy scoffed, "Typical Lissa still so suspicious of little 'ole Tim!" his phoned in heartbreak gained an eyeroll from the athlete, "If you must know I was just happening to be in search of some of the island's wonderful fauna." Timothy suddenly picked a bunch of flowers and held them out to show Melissa.
"Why? So you can give them your 'girlfriend'?" Melissa cheekily wondered.
"Flora is not my girlfriend!" Timothy exclaimed, "She is a girl, and is my friend. Not everyone has to be in a relationship you know!" Timothy sighed "Anyway, I just so happened to overhear you wanting to boot out Wane."
Melissa rolled her eyes, "Whatever, go ahead and tell him. I frankly don't care what he has to-"
Timothy cut the athlete off, "And I want in."
"Wait what?" Melissa asked the sneaky tattletale.
Timothy latched an arm around Melissa, much to her disgust, "I have my own reasons to wanna be rid of Wane, after all, he stole from all of us in the last challenge, and kicked me in the kiwis. He even stole from the only person nice to me here, so he must pay."
Melissa pushed off the arm, "What makes you think I wanna team with you again? Maybe you'll just blab any secrets I may have that I don't want people to know."
"You mean that you and I were taking a trip to smoochville?" Timothy mockingly made kissy faces before Melissa gave him a dark look which made him stop before she attempted to do something illegal, "Look, trust me there's a limit to how much truth should be disclosed to the public." Melissa metaphorically pressed X to doubt Timothy's claim, "But we have a common enemy, so as much as I wanna dunk my head in a tub of battery acid for doing this." Timothy took a deep breath, "We must... become... allies."
Melissa nearly barfed at the suggestion but knew that her beef with Timothy must be put on hold for the time being. She moved the ball under her left arm, "I... I suppose. If it means getting rid of Wane, then... I guess we can be... an alliance... a temporary alliance! For one time only! Just once!"
"Shake on it?" Timothy held out a hand, which Melissa slowly met with her finger. After a very tense shake, Timothy slinked back to the hut. Leaving Melissa to get back to practicing for basketball season when she got home.
Confessional: Melissa
"I haven't felt this sick to work with someone since this popular mean girl at my school joined the volleyball team." Melissa pinched the bridge of her nose, "Whatever, I'll work with the rat boy for now. Get on Flora's good side since she likes him for some reason. The exact second Wane's off the island, its light's out for that eavesdropping privacy-invading muskrat with the hips that move like a graceful swan wearing shades!" Melissa popped her basket ball in her hands before sighing, "Maybe Elizabeth was right, I have to get Timothy out of my head and focus on the game. Besides Timothy's been lucky up to this point and maybe it will run out on its own. So long as he doesn't do anything stupid, I'll pay him no mind... Oh who am I kidding? I want him gone as soon as this is over."
Confessional Over
Confessional: Timothy
"I know full well that Melissa's still gonna come for me once Wane's out, but I think I can round up enough troops to counter her. Assuming a vote comes around, Melissa's greatest strengths will be used against her! After all, who wants to keep someone who's a strong and strategic threat in the game?" Timothy laughed, "Plus, I got Flora on my side just as a bonus vote." Timothy sighed, "Thinking about Flora really makes me feel at peace... I wonder why?"
Confessional Over
Elsewhere, we see Beatrice and Brandon in the garage where Beatrice was wearing a pair of painter's gloves and apron, a mask strapped to her face as she used a spray paint gun on the ATV. "Alright, Brandon, just a few more touches and we're good to go."
"Thanks for helping out Beatrice, it really means a lot." Brandon thanked his friend.
"That's so thoughtful Bran, no wonder Sasha likes you so much." Beatrice winked as Brandon looked away. "Timothy said he saw you take her out on a date~"
"Well, there were... complications that rose up. But it was still nice to hang out with her." Brandon set down a wrench and wiped off his hands, "I think things are going great between us."
"Well, good thing it worked out." Beatrice shrugged.
"Yep." Brandon nodded as he heard Wane popping by.
"Aw, Brandon my boy!" Wane roughly pat Brandon on the back. "Aren't yee just excited to be unveiling your own state-of-the-art all-terrain vehicle?"
"Well, we still have to wait for the paint to dry after Beatrice is done with the paint job," Brandon replied, where Wane saw Beatrice spray painting a few dollar signs on the side of the vehicle in acknowledgment of the cheapskate's involvement in the process of manufacturing this vehicle.
"You know the offer still stands in letting me work your financial records when you open up your own car shop," Wane told him.
Brandon groaned, "I told you I don't work on cars purely for the money, I do it because I like restoring broken-down cars and making them new."
"I like doing that too." Wane scoffed, "And many other things that get me a fat paycheck. Much like how I like selling people broken down establishments."
"Isn't it pretty difficult to sell a person a building in need of repairs?" Brandon asked.
Wane laughed, "Oh no it's super easy, barely an inconvenience."
Brandon raised an eyebrow, "Really?"
"Yep, basic real estate Monday." Wane waved Brandon off, "Well since you and the fish lady have the finishing touches covered, I'll just get back to counting the money I got from the last challenge." He pulled out some of the treasures from last challenge and threw them into a bag of treasures he had.
Beatrice went up to Brandon and took off her mask, "I'll say he's gotten nicer, would have called me something much worse than that before. Anyway, the paint should be dried in a few hours."
They then get an alert on their phones, "Oh, just in time for breakfast." Brandon noted as he and Beatrice headed over to the mess hall for some chow.
At the mess hall, we see Flora getting a grilled PBJ from Carlton. "There we go, one grilled peanut butter and blackberry jam sandwich on gluten-free brioche."
"Thanks." Flora smiled as she took her tray with the sandwich, some fresh fruit picked by Billy, and a cup of unsweetened iced tea before heading to a table where she sat by Kodi and Will as they started a new quest in their Dungeons and Dragons universe, "Alright, is the party ready?" Kodi asked.
Will had his little action figure ready, "Readier than a mongoose about to eat a snake."
Flora then got her little figure ready, "Lady Florida, also ready." Flora then saw Timothy sitting a bit away before he sighed and scooted over.
"Alright." Timothy placed down a small camera as his own figure.
"That will do." Kodi said before he read the notes he made for this new conquest, "Alright, so Sir William was assigned the mission of retrieving some stolen barrels of fresh vegetables from a pack of goblins that were stolen from the farmer's market. His new sidekicks Lady Florida and local tattletale thief Tim Tim."
Confessional: Kodi
"It's so much fun having a much larger party to play DnD with!" Kodi clapped his hands and smiled, "There's so much more that can happen when you play with tons of people!
Confessional Over
Confessional: Flora
"I managed to convince Timothy to join in with playing Kodi's board game." Flora clapped her hands lightly, "I think he really likes doing despite what he says!"
Confessional Over
Timothy placed his hand over his chest, "Hey!"
"We're investigating the crime scene," Kodi read as the scene then showed Will, Flora, and Timothy in medieval attire.
"My word, they really did a number here." Lady Florida proclaimed as they looked around a dismantled veggie stand.
"Alright guys, let's look for some clues," William said.
"Can we skip this part?" Timothy asked as Flora gave him doe eyes, "Oh fine." He sighed, "I have my hound pup sniff out scene."
Kodi handed Timothy a die to roll, he took it and lazily rolled a five. "Your hound catches the scent, and the heroes follow the trail into the forest." The three heroes all moved their pieces through a forest area, "Where you encounter a man-eating tarantula!" Kodi plopped a very realistic-looking spider figure onto the table.
Timothy screamed bloody murder, before suddenly leaping onto King's back out of fright, where the injured Prince child didn't even react as he cut into his steak. The sling was gone but he still had a brace on his injured hand, after taking a bite he shoved Timothy off of him and onto the floor.
"Well it looks like we're all having a fun time here, aren't we?" Drew asked as he entered the mess hall, "Well, sorry to break up the fun but it's time to announce your guys' challenge. A fun game of Hot Pineapple!"
"Pineapple? Don't you mean potato?" Kaito asked.
Drew chuckled, "Nope, we'll be using a pineapple in this game! The rules are quite simple here, all of you will be sent to random spots throughout the island, with one of you starting out with the titular hot pineapple. The person who has the pineapple will have to search the island for someone to give the pineapple to. Note how I said 'give', simply tagging someone isn't enough, you have to forcefully put the pineapple on them, if you fail to do so, it will still count as you holding the pineapple. So a few good ways to pass on the pineapple are, I dunno, shoving it into someone's pocket, putting it in someone's hoodie, or choke-slamming someone to the ground and dropping the pineapple in their cold, passed-out hands, simple stuff like that. Whoever has the pineapple at the end of thirty minutes will not only have to deal with getting auto-eliminated, but they'll get a nasty surprise in the form of a paint bomb. Oh, and if you just drop the pineapple on the ground and refuse to give it to someone else, you'll just lose at the end of the challenge anyways. Any questions?"
"Well-" Kodi held his hand up but was cut off by Drew.
"Good! No questions whatsoever, if you guys check your phones, you'll see where you're supposed to go for the challenge to start. Once you're all in your respective areas, I'll play a buzzer sound on the intercom to inform you the challenge is on. Now get going! This episode doesn't have all day!" Drew told the others, causing them to scatter while looking at their phones to know where to go.
The camera cut to show all the contestants in their respective areas: Will was near the bar, Melissa, Timothy, and Beatrice were in the forest, Brandon was on the beach, King and Wane were near the Chicken's mansion, Sasha, Paige, and Kodi were outside the Frog's hut, Flora was near the bonfire, and Kaito and Van were both in the main area where the mess hall was.
Timothy pulled out his phone and checked the messenger app, "Alright... just gotta call Melissa..." Timothy held his hand over the button to call his enemy, "Let's hope she hasn't blocked me yet." Timothy called Melissa but was immediately sent to voicemail, "Of course she did." Timothy groaned before changing his phone to the map feature. Timothy looked at the map app for a few minutes before mumbling to himself, "Well, might as well do some recon around the island, and I've got just the ally to help me out." Timothy switched back to the messenger app and called Flora.
Flora immediately answered the call, "Hey Timothy, why are you calling me during the challenge?" Flora asked.
"Yeah... I need your help, in two different ways." Timothy told his friend.
"Ah! What do you need?" Flora replied.
Timothy looked around to see if anyone was nearby, "Well, I need to know where the pineapple is, so if you spot it could you send me a text to let me know?"
"Oh that won't be needed! I have it right now!" Flora happily responded and held the pineapple up, with the pineapple in question having a thirty-minute timer on it, though it was down to twenty-five minutes now.
"You... you already have it?" Timothy cleared his throat, "Well, that makes my job a lot easier, can you let me know where you are so I can grab it from you?"
Flora raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "You need the pineapple? Isn't the goal to give it to someone else?"
"Yeah, I'm trying to get Melissa off my back, so I'm helping her get rid of Wane so she'll leave me alone finally." Timothy explained, "So just stay where you are so I can grab it and find Wane! But, uh, also could you tell Melissa to unblock me so I can meet up with her to get Wane out? I tried calling her but obviously, it failed."
"Yeah, I can do that Timothy! Let me just text her that really quickly..." Flora sent the text to Melissa, "Done! Alright, I'm right by the bonfire, I can wait here for you to come by! Just don't take too long or I'll have to go!"
"I'll be there asap!" Timothy hung up the phone and immediately began running to the bonfire.
Flora chuckled as she put her phone in her pocket, "Well, guess I better do something to keep myself entertained-" Flora was cut off by someone coming up behind her before tying her arms together with a rope, "Huh!?"
"Aha! Guys! I found the pineapple!" Paige yelled to her phone, like Timothy, she and her two allies had thought to use their phones to keep in touch for the challenge, "Flora had it so I tied her up to stop her from getting in the way!" Paige tossed Flora to the ground.
"You what?" Kaito exclaimed.
Van chuckled, "Uhh, a little too enthusiastic but good job, now just give the pineapple to King, I doubt he'll even try in the challenge since he's always acting bored during everything." Van told the archer who gave a salute even though they couldn't see it, "Tell us if something goes wrong, I'll be searching for other contestants to distract."
"As will I." Kaito added.
Paige hung up the phone after getting the info, "Alright time to go find King..." Paige looked down at Flora, "Oh yeah, I should probably take you to the mess hall so you're not just stuck out in the sun." Paige grabbed Flora and pulled her up on her feet, "Come with me."
"Uh... could you at least tell Timothy I'm here first?" Flora asked.
Paige shook her head, "Sorry, you're not with Team Chickens, so I can't help you out."
"Ah... ok." Flora held her head down as Paige dragged her to the mess hall.
It seems everyone who had some form of a relationship on this island had the same idea as Timothy and Paige's group, as the camera cut to Brandon talking to Sasha on the phone, "So where do you think would be a good spot to hide?" Brandon asked Sasha.
"Logically, the best hiding spot should be hiding somewhere where nobody would check, but we'd need to know who has the pineapple to do that." Sasha told Brandon, "I think we'd have a better chance trying to play aggressive by getting the pineapple and giving it to King, Melissa, or Paige, as all of them are physical threats to us. Maybe Paige, as she's the most unpredictable person left."
Brandon then noticed Paige grabbing Flora at the bonfire and stayed silent for a few seconds, "I found the pineapple."
"What!? Who has it?" Sasha questioned.
"Paige." Brandon blankly stated as he hid to avoid Paige, "Looks like she's tying Flora up and is just gonna leave her with the pineapple, should I follow her?"
Sasha thought for a moment, "I... need to think about it. If we go after Paige, there's a chance we can get rid of a major physical threat to us, but if we let Flora stay with the pineapple, we can get rid of one of the former Frogs, and knowing how close your team was, it would bring them down to three allies."
"Three? There should be five, shouldn't there?" Brandon asked, "Kodi, Melissa, Beatrice, Timothy, and Will."
"There's no way Melissa would ever work with Timothy, so we can cross him off, and Beatrice I am confident we can have join our alliance." Sasha explained, "I doubt she's closer to any other Frogs, and after we get her on the team we can ask Wane to join since he'll easily join us if it means keeping him safe. I'd suggest letting it play out, but if you find a chance to get Paige out, use it."
Brandon stayed out of sight and slightly nodded, "Got it. I'll stay far behind to see what I can spot. Where are you now? Let's try grouping together."
"I was at the Frog's hut, but I'm moving over to the two volcanoes to move out of sight and to gain a good vantage point. Kodi and Paige started at the Frog's hut too, so looks like all three of us went in opposite directions."
"Alright, I'm gonna watch Paige for a bit and then I'll return to you Sash. See ya." Brandon hung up and put the phone in his pocket before following Paige, "Let's see where you're going..." Brandon mumbled.
"I forgot to unblock Timothy for this challenge," Melissa told herself as she read Flora's text and unblocked Timothy's number. "Let's hope he's actually helpful with getting Wane out, I don't wanna waste my time with him." Melissa rang Timothy's number, and wasted no time questioning him about what he knew, "Alright Tim, I know you have cameras everywhere, who has the pineapple and where are they? I wanna get this over with." Melissa was now out of the forest and was currently heading to the garage where Brandon's newly-finished ATV is.
Timothy scoffed, "Ok, first of all, I got rid of my cameras at Flora's request, and secondly, Flora has it. I called her and she said she had it near the bonfire. Where are you?"
"Grabbing something to get Wane with." Melissa opened the door to the garage and walked inside before looking through the shelves for a specific item.
Timothy groaned before a facepalm could be heard, "Yeah, that really tells me where you are."
"It means I'm at the garage," Melissa replied as she moved over to a different shelf.
"So just say you're at the garage!" Timothy responded in annoyance as Melissa began to groan.
"Just get the pineapple and meet me at the garage!" Melissa grabbed the bridge of her nose while looking through a few boxes on the shelf she was at.
Timothy sighed, "Yeah yeah whatever, I'm almost there anyways so..." Timothy stopped for a moment, "Um... Flora isn't here."
Melissa raised an eyebrow as she put a box back in place, "What?"
"I don't know! She's just not here!" Timothy yelled at the phone as Melissa groaned again.
"Call her and find her!" Melissa ordered Timothy.
Timothy let out a very loud and obnoxious moan, "Ok ok, get off my back, I'll go find her!" Timothy hung up the phone to go call Flora while Melissa found what she's looking for.
"Hopefully he can do that right." Melissa rolled her eyes as she grabbed a bottle of super-glue, "This is my best chance to get rid of Wane..."
Speaking of Wane, he was currently walking through the forest so as to stay out of sight from anyone else. "This challenge is way too easy." Wane laughed and rolled his eyes as he heard the sound of someone walking towards him. The conman got ready to run when the person who was following him revealed themselves to be none other than... Beatrice, "Oh, it's just you."
"Uh... yeah just me." Beatrice shook her head at Wane's reaction to her, "I'm just passing through so I can go hide somewhere, so I'll be on my way." Beatrice prepared to leave as Wane cleared his throat.
"Hold on! I have a proposition to sell you before you go anywhere!" Wane went over to Beatrice with a fake smile, "I think you, me, Brandon, and Sasha should all form a four-person alliance since the rest of your teammates have five people together." Wane took note of the other Frogs, "It's on both of our interests to take them out before they can become a threat."
Beatrice scoffed and raised an eyebrow, "Did the other two agree to this? Because I really doubt they did, especially since Brandon can just side with the rest of us and bring Sasha with him."
"Yeah... he totally agreed to do so!" Wane lied in an attempt to get Beatrice on his side, "Yep I definitely asked him!"
Beatrice laughed and walked away from Wane, not wanting to deal with him at the moment, "Yeah, sure you did Wane." Beatrice kept chuckling as she got farther and farther away from Wane. "How stupid does he think I-" Beatrice was cut off when she accidentally stepped into a net trap, which pulled her up into the air and left her suspended as Kaito and Van revealed themselves.
"Oh, apologies Beatrice." Kaito rubbed the back of his head, "We set up this trap in hopes of catching King with it, we didn't assume you'd be the one getting caught."
Beatrice struggled in the net, "Well, that's fine, but can you let me down now!"
Van winced and looked at Kaito, "Ooh... sorry Beatrice, but we're kinda doing everything we can to prevent other players from getting the pineapple... so you're gonna be here a while."
"Yes," Kaito nodded, "But to make up for it I will stay here with you as to prevent you from being eliminated."
"I guess that works?" Beatrice tried to shrug but couldn't do anything while inside the net, "Ugh... this is gonna suck."
Confessional: Beatrice
"Note to self, watch where you're going more so you don't have to spend an entire challenge upside down in a net!" Beatrice groaned as she held her forehead.
Confessional Over
"Come on Will!" Kodi ran around on the beach and began to run into the forest with Will following him closely behind, "Nobody's gonna find us here! I mean who would look in a forest?"
"I would!" Kodi heard two voices call out as both Brandon and Timothy revealed themselves
"Ah!" Kodi jumped back before realizing neither of them had the pineapple, "Oh, we're fine..."
Will looked at the two suspiciously, "You guys are looking through the forest? Why?"
Timothy held his phone up, "Well, I need to find the pineapple or Wane in order to get him out." Timothy revealed as Wane just so happened to be sneaking around right behind him, "Well, I mean, Melissa's gonna be the one to do it, since she's a little peeved about him getting rid of Elizabeth, so if you see him please tell me so I can forward that message to Melissa." Wane began to slowly walk away, only to step on a branch, alerting the group of four, "Wow, that was easier than I expected!" Timothy pulled out his phone and called Melissa as he chased after the conman, "Melissa I found Wane! He's near the entrance to the forest that you get to at the beach!"
The three watched Timothy chase Wane away as Brandon sighed, "Could you two tell me if you find the pineapple? I wanna get Paige out because she's a threat."
"Yeah! I'd love to help out a former teammate, what do you think Will?" Kodi asked Will.
Will nodded and smiled, "Of course, we can help you out with that. Let's keep a look out for it, Kodi!" Will told his friend who happily smiled in response. Unfortunately for the three there, Paige was directly above them and grinned as she revealed herself.
"Aww, you wanna get rid of little ol me?" Paige leaned against the tree and laughed, "Sorry, but I'm a girl on a mission and I can't let you have it!" Paige hopped to the ground and easily avoided the three trying to grab her to stop her from going anywhere, "I'll see you later though, toodles!" Paige ran off to the beach while Brandon gave chase, with Will and Kodi watching on.
"Umm... let's just go back to hiding?" Kodi asked Will, who nodded in agreement.
Paige kept running as Brandon got a call from Sasha during his chasing of Paige. "Kinda busy right now Sasha!" Brandon told his friend as he answered the phone and Paige kept running away, "I'm trying to catch Paige, but she is really quick on her feet!"
"Yeah I can see that from up here." Sasha watched Brandon from the volcano via a pair of binoculars, "I was calling to try and suggest how you could catch her." Sasha explained as Brandon followed Paige into the bar, only to notice that she somehow disappeared from sight.
"Where did she..." Brandon was cut off by Paige jumping down from the ceiling of the bar and pushing him to the floor, before she began to hogtie him to prevent him from following her, "Ah!" Brandon struggled with the rope as Paige finished keeping him down.
Paige laughed and took the phone, "Sorry Sasha! But looks like this pineapple belongs to the Chickens who didn't leave the team!" Paige tossed the phone back to Brandon as she ran away.
Brandon groaned as he tried to untie himself, "Do you know any untying tricks?" Brandon asked, still trying to get himself out of his situation.
"I do, but we should probably just throw in the towel for this challenge, I doubt we're gonna have any luck catching her, especially with the lead she currently has." Sasha began to explain, "There should be about seven minutes left in the challenge too anyways, so it's better to just leave her with the pineapple and hope that she fails to catch whoever she's going after."
"Can I at least untie myself?" Brandon asked.
"Yes," Sasha chuckled while watching Brandon fight with his restraints, "The bar has a cupboard that has a broken corner that's rather sharp, use that to cut your rope and you should be free... it's around... five cupboards north for you."
Brandon scooted over to the cupboard and began to cut at the rope that was bounding him, "Thank you for that..."
King sat on the beach while waiting for the challenge to end, "This island is so vulgar." King thought while he looked out on the sunset, "Whatever moron was in charge of keeping this place couldn't clean an island to save their life." King was so caught up in his thoughts he didn't even notice Paige run by before dropping the pineapple in his lap.
King gave a very slight smile, something rare for him, "I'm sure Rosalia would love it though. I don't understand how she finds joy in garbage like this, but regardless, she does. Maybe after I inevitably win this season I'll buy the island for her sake, not like the money has any use for me." King looked down at the pineapple and rolled his eyes, finally noticing it "Hmm? The pieces of garbage want me gone now? Well, looks like it's time to put them back in their p-" King's thoughts were cut off by someone hitting him in the back of the head, knocking him out.
The person in question was none other than Melissa, who snatched the pineapple from King's hands, "Alright Wane, good luck trying to worm your way out of this one." Melissa stepped away from King and gained a look of pure confidence and Rage as she ran full speed into the forest, fully intent on taking out the conman.
Melissa ran through each part of the forest, unknowingly getting close to stepping in traps as she passed by Beatrice hanging in the net, and Kaito who tried to catch her in order to take the pineapple away from her. Melissa's body was practically in autopilot, and she didn't stop even as Kaito tried to chase after her.
"Melissa!" Kaito panted as he followed her, "Please give me the-" Kaito accidentally stepped into another net trap her and Van had set up earlier, "...Figures..." Kaito sighed as he hung upside down, "At least Van and Paige will be back here soon..." Kaito watched Melissa run off as he waited for his teammates to get back to him.
Melissa kept running through the forest to catch up with Wane, and she eventually did, seeing as she ran into the man fighting off Timothy, who was currently gripping onto his leg to prevent him from running away, "Wane!"
Wane turned his head to see Melissa running full speed at him, "Oh shit!" Wane kicked Timothy off of him and tried to run away while Melissa throw the pineapple full force at his back the moment he began to get far away, knocking him to the ground.
"Well, I'll leave you two too it." Timothy shrugged as he ran away from the pair, leaving Wane to fend off Melissa by himself.
"Ugh..." Wane groaned and got up to see Melissa getting extremely close to him, Wane panicked and began running forward as fast as he physically could in order to avoid getting grabbed by Melissa, "Damn it was one elimination relax!" Wane yelled as Melissa kept up running after him.
Confessional: Wane
"That is genuinely the scariest thing I've ever had to live through." Wane was panting in the confessional, "And it was from Melissa of all people!"
Confessional Over
Confessional: Timothy
Timothy sat back in the confessional, "Jesus if that's what Melissa's like when she's mad, remind me never to piss her off again!"
Confessional Over
Wane hopped over a tree branch as he kept trying to run away from Melissa, the two had been chasing each other for about two minutes now and time for the pineapple was ticking down one by one, Wane looked over his back and noticed he had lost her for now, but he still kept running to be absolutely sure that he was safe from the Frog's wrath. Wane hid behind a tree and waited for a few moments to see if he could hear Melissa approaching him, Wane took slow breaths as he heard nobody coming after him, he really had lost her.
Wane sighed in relief as he looked around the forest for Melissa, "Phew, thank god... that witch is finally gone!" Wane laughed as he fell to the ground, "Looks like I've come out on top yet again!" Wane grinned as he began to hear ticking coming from behind him, "Huh?" Wane turned around but didn't see anyone holding the pineapple nearby. "Melissa must be hiding somewhere..." Wane thought to himself as he got up and looked around to find Melissa.
Wane looked up at the trees to see if Melissa was hiding up there somewhere, but he began to notice that no matter where he looked, the sound of ticking was always coming from... behind him? "Wait a minute..." Wane turned his head over his shoulder and saw the pineapple was stuck to his back, "AH!" Wane tried to grab the pineapple from his back, but he quickly discovered that it wasn't coming off anytime soon.
"Gotcha!" Melissa revealed she was hiding behind a nearby tree. The athlete held up the bottle of superglue she grabbed earlier, causing Wane's jaw to drop, "That was for Elizabeth! Good luck getting out of this!"
Wane kept trying to get the pineapple off of his back before sighing, "Ah shi-" Wane was cut off by the pineapple exploding and covering his entire backside in paint. Wane groaned, "Dammit, I can't believe I lost here off all times." Wane deadpanned as Melissa laughed and walked off to leave him by his lonesome.
Drew's voice came over the island's intercom, "Aaaand it's over! And by the camera's footage, Wane is tonight's loser! Wane please head over to the bonfire asap for your elimination, and make it quick, we don't got all day for this!"
Wane crossed his arms, "That's not fair! She shouldn't be allowed to use glue to stop me from getting rid of the pineapple!" Wane complained as Melissa grinned victoriously.
"Like you know what is and isn't fair." Melissa replied as she left Wane by his lonesome, "I'm sure it was very fair for Elizabeth when you took all the treasure and stopped her from winning the challenge!"
Wane just groaned in annoyance as he wiped his back off on a nearby tree.
The camera cut to Wane holding his bag of goodies as he sat outside the loser floater. Of course, the conman wasn't alone for his elimination, as a lot of people came to see him get sent away.
"Sorry man." Brandon shrugged, "Tried to keep you in as thanks for your help with the ATV, but that's just how the game is sometimes."
Wane rolled his eyes, "Whatever, this dumb game is rigged anyways, the best players like me lose all the time."
"Right. The 'best players'." Melissa held up air quotes before crossing her arms and glaring at Wane.
"Well guess what?" Wane held up his bag, "I'm still gonna make a profit anyways 'cause of all the trinkets I've collected over the course of the season! So I'll gladly watch you losers lose the chance to win a million while I sell this to total drama fans!" Wane laughed as began to head into the loser floater, only for the bag to break from the weight of the trinkets, causing all of Wane's treasure to fall into the water.
"My treasure!" Wane turned around and tried to save as much as he could before the interns closed the cage on him, preventing him from grabbing anymore, "Noooooo!" Wane cried out as he floated away, with Melissa slightly chuckling at his expense.
After the conman was finally gone, Timothy turned over to face Melissa, "Well Melissa, I think we made a pretty good team and we should keep this truce up for longer, after all, there's no good in targeting each other, is there?"
"This alliance was temporary." Melissa reminded Timothy, "Don't act like I'm gonna stop going after you for everything you've done just because I needed your help."
Timothy sighed and shook his head as he walked off, "It was worth a shot... oh well." Timothy walked off as Melissa looked out to the water's surface, content with how she avenged Elizabeth. Timothy chuckled, "Looks like I gotta start scheming to get rid of her..."
After the challenge, and Wane having been sent off in the floater of losers, we see Kaito sitting on the couch in the mansion typing away on a computer, "Unprecedented, this footage is truly amazing." Kaito took notes as he watched a camera feed of a rover that had been sent to Mars.
While Kaito was watching the footage, someone opened the door to his room and entered.
"Who is it?" Kaito asked before he heard Van's voice.
"Hey Kae Kae! I see you're back on your little science project." Van spoke behind him.
Kaito sighed in relief that it was just Van, "Oh yes, apparently, a new rover was sent to mars the other day, and the footage is being shared publicly," Kaito kept writing notes as he watched the rover moving through a cave
"I see. Well, I was gonna check out the hot tub." Van told him, "With everyone else out doing their thing, I'll be all alone... Well, I'll leave you to your work."
Kaito heard her leave before he turned and flinched as he saw her in her sky-blue swimsuit, her shades, and a little blue veil on her left hip. He saw her before in this suit, but something about this time felt different. She looked... what's the word that people use... hot?
"Um..." Van turned her head back to Kaito, who looked down so she couldn't see him blush "Actually, if it's okay I can... meet you out there?"
"You sure?" Van asked. "What about your research?"
Kaito looked back at the footage, "Eh, I've worked enough for one day. I could use actually use a break, can't get anything done if I collapse from exhaustion, right?" Kaito lowly chuckled as he hoped he seemed convincing enough before closing his notebook and shutting his laptop. "Wait for me outside while I grab my swim trunks." Kaito quickly moved upstairs laptop in hand.
Van blinked numerous times, "Wow, Kaito never willingly gave up a minute of his work before." Van pointed out as Sasha walked past the doorway.
"I can." Sasha spoke up as Van turned to her, "You've had an effect on him since he got booted some weeks ago, now he's actually going outside and stuff like that." Sasha joked.
"Well yeah, I mean what's life without a little fun every now and then to unwind?" Van questioned as she tapped her fingers together, "Aren't you supposed to be out with Brandon for your second date?" Van was still unsure of being around Sasha so she tried to change the subject.
"Oh don't worry about that Van, you worry about your own alone time." Sasha chuckled as she strutted outside, leaving Van in a surprised blushing state.
Van covered her face, "Every time with her and Kaito I swear..."
The camera cut to show Flora rubbing her arms, which now had rope marks on them, "That was quite the challenge, huh?" Flora asked Timothy, who gave a light nod in response, "But did you mend everything with Melissa?"
Timothy sighed and shook his head, "I tried, but I don't think she's ready to forgive any time soon." Timothy got up with a confident look, "Looks like I'm just gonna have to start planning how to get rid of her!"
Flora frowned in response, "I don't know if that's the right choice Timmy..."
"I know it seems brash Flora, but trust me, she's gonna go after me first chance she gets," Timothy explained his reasoning, "So I gotta come up with a plan to counter her before she can get rid of me... it's the only chance I got if I want to stick around and stay in the game."
Flora sighed, "I guess... but I'm still gonna try to convince her otherwise. Please don't try to do this until after I try at least?" Flora asked Timothy.
"Fine," Timothy nodded, "But I know she's already planning on getting rid of me right as I speak, so don't be surprised when she does it." Timothy warned Flora about Melissa.
"She won't Tim," Flora looked confident in Melissa, "I just know she won't..."
FreshmEn: Another day another chapter, well, another three chapters actually. Yeah, I was going through a bit of writer's block so I solved it by writing these three episodes back-to-back. But hey, a triple feature is pretty nice to have I suppose. Since I didn't leave an AN on the previous two chapters, I'll explain why the merge had 14 people in it despite being a 20 person story, and there's two reasons. One meta reason and one story-based one, the story-based reason is that the merge would normally be 12 people, but due to the interns screwing up the double elimination, the merge's cast was larger than it was supposed to be, and the meta reason? We liked the cast a lot and extended the merge because of it. Yeah. That's the big reason, we just really like this cast.
Zoryan El Muerto: Guess Wane's gonna keep Pin-apple-ing the million!
Reasoning For Elimination: Wane is a very fun and funny character to write, but he was doomed to fall as soon as the merge came around. In fact, he only managed to get by the first merge episode because it was literally a challenge meant for him, had it been anything else we probably would've made him lose, or just get voted out. Again, he's a fun character, but he doesn't have the legs to stand on his own, and his only real chance was his slight friendship with Brandon, but even that's not enough to save him.
