Well, this is all the reviews I could answer for... Anyway, have fun into reading it. I hope you guys like what I did on this chapter. XD
Around a house living in a forest. The silence of the leaves, and even the animals showed how impactful was the newest episode...
The sobs coming from a girl in tune with nature showed how heartbreaking was to watch the last challenge, so many innocent creatures, the bulls, the anchovies, jellyfish, and crickets... And what they did with the bunnies, was monstrous. Even if dolphins the part of nature, even if they are crueler than sharks, their demise was something that would appear in her nightmares... Or possibly would be one of her phobias, and she prayed for Mother Nature to not allow Chris into doing phobia factor once again...
Her father was with his eyes closed, and as he could hear from Mother Nature the victim of this episode was clearly Bridgette and DJ. Showing the vegetarian options was nothing that he wasn't unaware of, sometimes as he wandered as a pioneer with his family, they had to eat rotten vegetables and fruits to survive, but it takes months of practice to make your body get resistant to such dangerous meals, time of poverty always brought them beyond the limits, and he always did his best to not make his little daughter suffer the same problems he had in the past.
A rotten durian was always the ultimate challenge because it tastes like shit. He always admitted, and even his parents knew about that.
He knew Bridgette would break because Mother Nature knew how cruel the dolphins were, and even in times of burden, his family was always torn between remaining vegetarian or going to the most cruel and basic rules of Mother Nature: Survival of the fittest.
His daughter Dawn was aware of the rule, so they always prayed for Mother Nature to never let them over such circumstances of the past...
But he was proud of the surfer Beidgette, when it comes to losing his own resolves, to a cruel show like that, she wanted to remain loyal to herself, and while Chris may have broken her spirit making her lose...
She had the moral ground, and Mother Nature had her blessings over her.
His wife also knew about the mother's nature blessing, she knew Bridgette now would be always safe in her forests, and even on the water where she would go... The Mother Nature would always protect her...
Even knowing she wouldn't get the 100 thousand prize, she could do what she loved most, and Mother Nature would have her back. A blessing that just a few had... But now both parents have a daughter to comfort since the last challenge was very cruel to them and to all vegetarians and vegans.
The next morning was fulfilled with silence as Ezekiel, Eva, Sadie, Harold, Katie, and Tyler sat down in the suite room of the jock of the group... Usually, Katie would have brought Cody and Leshawna would have been around, but Ezekiel made it clear that this conversation would have been only for his team... The main focus...
Bridgette...
"To think Chris knew about the insect servant chapter... It's another low blow from Chris." Ezekiel commented that a part of him felt guilty about seeing Bridgette so hurt after saying the word Condor.
"I don't know why she didn't choose to eat the Dolphin hotdog," Harold said as he didn't understand, but he glanced the most of Killer Bass less Ezekiel was staring at him weirdly. "Hey, Dolphins got what they deserved. Since it's adult dolphins meat."
"Why are you saying like it's a good thing?" Katie said as she was feeling uncomfortable and weird by the fact...
"Because adult dolphins are one the most cold-blooded animals in relation to their own babies."Ezekiel answered the question, which made everyone stare in disbelief..."I watched a documentary talking about them... I'm not going to sugarcoat... Dolphins kill their babies because they like doing it."
"WHAT?" Sadie and Katie shouted horrified as Tyler palled and Eva glanced in disbelief.
"Precisely, they sadistically develop their own bloodlust on the babies to make them cruel assassins, to even using their echolocation to find their vital organs and then they..."Harold explained as Katie closed her ears with her ears.
"STOP STOP STOP, I CAN'T HEAR IT ANYMORE," Katie shouted as Sadie went to hold Harold with a headlock...
"STOP RUINING THEM FOR ME," Sadie said as she was making Harold choke with his air.
"You two stop." Eva then said as she made Sadie realize what she was doing and immediately released Harold who finally was recovering his breath.
"Ah, ah... Thanks, Eva." Harold said as he placed his glasses back on his head... "Anyway, I told DJ about them, and possibly as seeing Bridgette breaking. I think he did that last phase more of pity on Bridgette because she needed to rest... But I still..."
"Because she is both a surfer, but she also made her principal to never eat meat, Harold," Ezekiel said firmly, which made the group stare at him. "It was her principle, and she refused to break her principle because of the show. And... I'm proud of her for doing it."
The group stared at Ezekiel in disbelief...
"Remember when I said they would want to break us, into trying to make us go against into our principles? That's why I offered the Condor as a safe word..."Ezekiel walked as he placed his hand on every single arm of his team. He looked happy and concerned about the safety of his friends."It's for cases that it would show that we need a rest, we need to take care of ourselves. And I confess, Bridgette and DJ deserve to be here, even if they couldn't win, it was for the best for we relax here..."
The group nodded their heads as they could understand how it was true, and how much they regretted not losing the show sooner, Harold was satisfied with learning about why their surfer gave up, and it was true how ruthlessly Chris and Chef went hard on them.
He and Leshawna almost vomited upon seeing some of the dishes...
"At least they didn't do the actual peed pancake again," Tyler commented as he made the group nod their heads at him. "Lindsay babe really needed a time out from that, I saw in the forum that everyone felt fear into seeing that rage from her face."
"Would you blame her? I actually liked it when she looked at the girls, I would have done the same thing." Eva grinned as she could see the sparkle inside of Lindsay, usually the blond dumb girl snapping was by far her favorite moment on the show.
"I just want to know why nobody sent that bastard Trent here yet," Tyler said as he snarled at his group. "It's been 4 times we lose to him, and he is like a cockroach, he always survives or finds a way to remain in the game..."
"I have to agree with Tyler here. His jealousy of Duncan doesn't make any sense." Sadie said as she also felt the pain of her team.
Ezekiel blinked, as a good part of himself cringed, after remembering World Tour, how the jealousy of Courtney and how possessive she became of Duncan led to the fallout of one of the most contradictory scenes of all total drama fandom... He saw how terrible it became for Chris making Courtney's life a hell, but thankfully... he managed to prevent that...
"Someone must put the team together and put that stupid guitarist in his place," Eva said as she cracked her neck... She was also one of the participants who wanted so much to punish the guitarist for everything he did.
The group reunited for the sake of thinking of a good way to help Bridgette to feel comfortable at the time she appeared at the resort, even knowing that she would still be broken from her terrible experience on the brunch of disgustness, the Killer Bass losers would do their best to make her stay enjoyable, as they hope everything would be fine from now on...
At the time he was alone in his bedroom, Ezekiel knew that he may have stalled too much time... Knowing that sooner or later he must deal with it, the possibility of the fandom of total drama would go after him...
Still part of him felt like it was like the old days where he lived before, in the future in another dimension, he wanted to know the reviews.
"Why is this so difficult?" Ezekiel asked as he was staring at the old version of the computer that usually he had from his laptop. After the time he was before the show he participated, he created his email just to be sure to see the messages he would receive...before the show he was excited, but after so many weeks inside of the show, he felt anxious about how many trolls or even critics would go over him...
But still, he learned to endure it in his past life, it was the time to do that as well.
At the time he opened his email account...his eyes went wide open... A hundred thousand emails, with thousands of them having a single title on them...
"Please be well Ezekiel" Ezekiel whispered as he opened every single one of them, fans, from boys, girls, women, men, adults, and even children... Wishing their best to the homeschooled boy... Kids even drew little images of him, a pink dog, a boy with a polar bear hat, and even a chubby boy having a t-shirt star.
Dozens of fanart of the cartoons he gave his best to write, some pretty messy like a toodles art, to even a well-describing creation of kids of ten years old kids.
But what made Ezekiel so touched... Was the fan songs, leading to the video section similar to youtube.
"Hey, here is my try of Love like you...
If I could begin to be
Half of what you think of me
I could do about anything
I could even learn how to love
When I see the way you act
Wondering when I'm coming back
I could do about anything
I could even learn how to love like you
I always thought I might be bad
Now I'm sure that it's true
'Cause I think you're so good
And I'm nothing like you
Look at you go
I just adore you
I wish that I knew
What makes you think I'm so special...
From kids to girls who tried their best to sing like Courtney on the show, to boys doing their own covers, to actually musicians to play even instruments, to make the song better and better...
Ezekiel forgot which instruments or even how the piano keys were the ones that started the song, and with almost 3 years of his life not even listening to the original song...
He cried, because of how much impact it has had for him to mark a generation, and to bring back to life a song he loved to sing whenever he could as watching on YouTube... But now, the cycle started once again...
For not just a few dozen, but almost a hundred people who made his song, a voice they could always sing...
And that makes him feel grateful... To everyone, who supported him, to even being a fan of him...
"So that's how they felt..." Ezekiel commented as he cleaned his tears... "Rebecca Sugar, Steven Universe is a success, even in the Cartoon Network universe. Your song will live forever."
And Ezekiel felt happy, to see one great show was appreciated and accepted, and the legacy of a Cartoon Network show was made once again.
Ezekiel was proud...
A few hours later...
"It's the time of your medicine Zeke." The voice said as Ezekiel was still focusing into keep writing something he prepared... a letter, for a group he needed so much to cheer them up after a series of defeats in a row... Until he suddenly felt over his lap a familiar girl sitting on his lap, staring with her iconic wide grin, and her ginger hair, at what was the bane of the poor writer's existence... Was the sexy nurse outfit...
"Izzy...why do you still keep wearing this outfit every time I need to take the meds?" Ezekiel blushed as he felt the legs of the ginger 'crazy' girl above his legs, and she was sitting on his lap, he cursed his second puberty making it even more difficult for him to focus even with such a distraction.
"Yes, I do," Izzy commented as she took the pill and placed it in his mouth, by having Ezekiel take the glass of water and drink it, she waited for the right moment until she had a smirk. "I'm not wearing panties."
*Psssss*
Ezekiel spat part of the water as he coughed from the sudden scare, which made Izzy laugh happily before she got up. Thankfully Ezekiel already swallowed the medicine, but still, his letter was messed up with the water.
"Dammit Izzy, now I have to clean up my typewriter. You shouldn't say that to a person who was drinking water." Ezekiel said as he went to the bathroom to bring paper towels to clean up his trustful typewriter.
"Oh come on Zeke, you don't have some doubts about how my tights were near yours, without a fabric mak..." Izzy was teasing until she saw Ezekiel raise his hand in a motion to make her stop. "Alright, enough was enough."
Izzy went to sit on the bed, which made Ezekiel recover his breath, and once again try to focus on doing his letter...
"So after tomorrow..." Izzy commented, which made Ezekiel nod his head at her, both of them had been enjoying their time and talking about life and future projects, they still had time when Izzy's main plan would come into motion, the time she would come back on the show. "Are you sure that you aren't going to tell me the future challenges? If you tell me everything I think I can find a way to be the winner."
"You know that I cannot do that, you have to do the challenges like everyone else... but, please be careful okay?" Ezekiel asked as he knew that the serial killer episode was something that he feared his friends would be in danger... And not knowing how to actually make the flow of the time to save his friends in such a terrible problem...
"Pff, me? Don't worry about it. I have been trained all the time, I can give help and protect others when I want. Especially if I need to use someone to win the show." Izzy smirked as she felt like a winner for the 100 thousand dollars.
"Aren't you rich already? Why need to keep trying to win the prize though?'Ezekiel asked as he then felt Izzy smiling crazily at him.
"Because it's fun, going towards the challenges and then kicking everyone's butts, and then taking the prize while getting the fame of being the winner? That's the best thing happening after getting the money prize," Izzy commented as she prepared herself to leave. "But still, I'm going to miss this place, since I have to deal with the craziness of the show again. Well, gotta go now, I need to prepare my stuff before tomorrow."
"Yeah do that," Ezekiel commented but not before Izzy gave a smirk and walked slowly away to the door, even if she even stopped nearby, and went to correct a shoe near the bed... She lifted her skirt to the spectator and knowing that he was watching her, it was the perfect moment. She then got up and turned her head to see Ezekiel froze in the same state as Harold has when the moose made him touch Heather's titties... Frozen and with a big blush on his face, which was a satisfied result for herself, and happily left the room... Ezekiel remained quiet, as his entire face was blushing, and all the blood went into one simple place... "Goddamit second puberty."
Ezekiel went to the bathroom... for what reason, just he knows.
In the afternoon everyone gathered around to enjoy their good time relaxing and even having a good meal to make the rest of their days, just another reason to enjoy, Katie and Sadie are playing volleyball on the beach, Cody, Justin, and Noah is talking about their time of school, or even talking about hobbies, Izzy was doing some crazy stunts like taking the rope, her bow and arrows, and even some smoke bombs in case that she would need for the future.
Eva was lifting Tyler because he lost another bet of arm wrestling with her, so that made it even more humiliating for him, Leshawna and Harold were talking about their future together, since Harold now had to make a haiku for Leshawna for 10 days straight, just as a way she punished him for the inconvenience, still the time they have together in a shared bedroom was something Noah had to ask to move away from his bedroom.
Now Ezekiel was passing a good time of a break from writing anything, after he prepared the letter, he wanted to give a break of a few days before returning to one of his projects... Now he was doing his other hobby... drawing, especially now that he could use some colorful drawing at the moment.
From doing some doodles to the more focused drawing of Finn the human, then doing Princess Bubblegum, Jake the dog, BMO to even Lady Raincorn.
From the time he was drawing he didn't notice someone actually sitting nearby... he then felt something strange...
"Why do I have the impression someone is watching me?" Ezekiel asked himself as he turned around, and just saw a pair of glasses on the bushes. "Beth? Wow, it's been a while, you disappeared for a long time, what happened to you?"
"Eep... I'm not Beth... I'm Ma...ma...mamiobelly." The person in the bushes with the same voice as Beth tried to make a fake name, which made Ezekiel tilt his head in confusion.
"Err... Beth, while I enjoy creating names and stories related to people and creatures... I'm sure Mamiobelly isn't in fact a name." Ezekiel closed his sketchbook and walked near the bushes. "It has been more than a week since I've been here and I didn't see you until now, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, it's supposed to be me asking that to you," Beth said as she got out from the bushes, and her appearance was with dark circles on her eyes. "I just want to ask why aren't you mad with me?"
Ezekiel had his eyes wide open in surprise, not only for the question but for the fact Beth had been in that state for a long time. That came from a single conclusion, Beth blamed herself for having the curse on the island... He knew that if he said it wasn't her fault, it would also make her still beat herself up from a mistake she made... So he decided to follow along...
"I was..."Ezekiel commented as it made Beth flinch and tried to look away. "I really was angry with not just with you, I was angry with Duncan and the boys for making my cold get worse, to even I got angry with myself for going beyond my limit and trying to do the challenge even in the worst condition I was..." Ezekiel decided to say firmly to clarify how he felt, anger, everybody gets angry and blames someone on some occasions. But knowing one thing... "But I decided my life is more important now, I want to focus so much on my recovery than actually keep pushing my luck and get myself killed."
Beth remained quiet, as she could understand why he said that, but somehow she still felt empty.
"But you want me to blame you, you want me to punish you for losing the game." When Ezekiel said that, Beth had her eyes wide open in surprise like he read her mind... "So that's why you owe me 3 favors now."
"What?"Beth said in surprise which made her lose her composure, but a part of her had sparkles in her eyes.
"If you think you are going to get scott-free from the fact I had to go to the hospital? Nah, nothing is for free, so now you owe me 3 favors, that's your punishment. And with that, you are forgiven." Ezekiel commented as he got up from his seat, and Beth felt like a little weight from her shoulders was lifted. "Also I want already use one favor now. Are you ready?"
"Really? Now?" Beth asked as she was still trying to process what Ezekiel wanted, and before she could even press further Ezekiel raised his hand...
"My favor now, I want you to swear to me that you would never take a foreign object from another island or country without permission ever again." Ezekiel said firmly, which made Beth flinches and made her recoil, "Or even further, if either Lindsay or Heather decides to do the same thing remind them about the consequences of what happened when you took a cursed object from a haunted island. Can you swear to me?"
"I...I..." Beth stuttered as she could see Ezekiel glaring at her until she nodded and raised both her hands. "I swear with all my heart that I'm going to be careful and never take or even touch something from another country or island without knowing and without permission. I swear."
After Beth swore to the homeschooled boy that she would never commit the same mistake again, that made Ezekiel smile.
"Good, because I once saw on the internet a girl who took a forbidden object from Hawaii, she managed to get herself and her boyfriend banned from France after almost destroying some art in the Louvre," Ezekiel didn't explicitly say it was Beth or Lindsay, and he was thankful for the fact there isn't cameras around to catch his white-lie, and seeing Beth palled from knowing such terrible information, that would solidify her safety from the curse. "We were lucky to survive that island with only cold in our system... it could have been way worse, but at least the curse is lifted... and we shouldn't talk more about this... okay?"
Beth wanted to press further about what he knew, but Ezekiel had already taken his time to get up and left the place, without even giving time to Beth reply to him... and strangely, she felt way better than before, but her eyes were so tired that she accidentally slept on the water of pool...
On that afternoon the group was reunited on where they would watch the Pay-per-view together, the girls who were left on the island alone were with terrible morale, Gwen, Courtney, and Bridgette were taking time to comfort themselves, and Bridgette took a day to clean up her stomach because Chef kindly made a stomach wash drink, which literally made they vomit everything they ate from that day, they needed badly to take out every single weird stuff from their body, and the military Chief was good enough to help the girls to once again remain on their feet.
A good chocolate bar in the hot tub really made Courtney's mood stop being sour, and how a few potato chips made Gwen and Bridgette also go back to their tracks...
Everyone from Playa Del Losers was worried about the next challenge since Bridgette was the one who would be voted out from the remaining Killer Bass team. And when everyone was reunited and discussing what was going to happen.
Suddenly a telephone in the room over the Playa del Losers made everyone jump in surprise.
Cody who was near the telephone, felt apprehensive about seeing the telephone ringing especially on that time, since it was the first time happening.
"Hello?" Cody asked until he heard a familiar voice. "Ah, channel 230? Okay..."
Justin who was with remote control managed to change the actual number of the channel which everyone in the room saw nobody other than Chris Maclain staring right at the camera and also holding a telephone.
"Hello Losers," Chris greeted the group of former campers who stared at the screen in surprise. "I hope you are enjoying the stay on the Playa del Losers."
"Yeah Chris, it has been awesome around here," Cody commented as some members nodded their heads agreeing with Cody, but some still rolled their eyes or were wary of what Chris was planning at that moment.
"Awesome, but also I think there is also something more awesome than that." Chris gave his signature grin as Leshawna and Harold stared at each other. Until Chris decided to show a black case on the screen. "An opportunity for two of you to return to the island to have another try in getting 100 thousand dollar prize."
That comment alone made everyone have their eyes wide open, and the people who wanted to have another chance to return to the show. And now most of them had their eyes looking greedy and anxious back to return to the island.
"Glad that this took your attention, everyone, the challenge will be simple... every single one of you is going to be interviewed by me, after the whole interviews, I will decide which two of you are going to return to the show, but also those two will also find out who else returned only after coming from the boat tomorrow," Chris explained the rules made the whole group stares at each other. "Well, who is going to be first?"
"Err... Cody, can I be the first?" Cody who was holding the telephone was surprised to see Ezekiel the one offering himself to participate.
"Zeke?" Cody asked in surprise, and Eva, Katie, Sadie, and even Leshawna stared at him and glared in concern.
"Are you out of your mind? You are still not recovered 100%" Leshawna commented as the others seemed also agree with the black girl, which Ezekiel had an idea of why...
"Oh that you are right, I actually don't plan into actually getting it, I just want to be the first to say I wouldn't do it, but it's good for him to know I'm recovering myself, so don't worry, I'm not going to return on the show." Ezekiel dismissed their worries as he was going to turn down the idea, so that made everyone relieved.
"Well if that's the case, you can have it Zeke." Cody gave the telephone to the green winter hat boy who was staring at the screen.
"Hey, Chris," Ezekiel commented, and the gleam of the eyes of the host of the show seemed to become brighter.
"Ezekiel, nice to hear your voice again, does everyone are still there?" Chris commented as he narrowed his eyes on the camera.
...
"Alright everyone out, I want to make this interview, now shoo, shoo," Chris said as he made motions with his hand, and most of the former campers went out of the room where only the host of the show, and the homeschooled boy holding the telephone. "Are they all gone?"
"Yep," Ezekiel commented as he took a chair to talk to Chris on the telephone. "It's nice to talk to you again Chris,"
"How are you? Are you ready to return to the show?" Chris commented as he already showed a good smile on the screen, but Ezekiel shook his head.
"Sorry to tell you that Chris, but I'm still on my 60% to 70%, I'm still sick, so I cannot be able to go back to the camp. I have to refuse this offer..." Ezekiel was clean to express his knowledge, and seeing Chris's face showing a bit of concern and mostly frustration, Ezekiel could understand the reason. "But if you want, I can nominate 2 possible candidates to help you have something in your mind."
"Oh, really?" Chris said as he raised his eyebrow, as he hoped Ezekiel was one of the best contestants, and having him back on the show would have made the ratings go higher than before. "So what do you have in mind?"
"Eva and Izzy." Ezekiel was straight and clear, which made Chris raise his eyebrows at him. "If you want to bring someone to make the game interesting, have the most unpredictable character, Izzy around, she will make the chaos and will make some crazy plot twists following your game."
"You are not wrong." Chris nodded his head, seeing that the homeschooled boy has been watching television and even writing stories that would intrigue the public, having someone unpredictable can always be interesting to see around the show which would make good ratings. "Why Eva?"
"For three reasons. One, Eva was eliminated from injury while being heroic and saving the team, which would make all the fans who cheered for her would become crazy at the time she returned, second, she is the strongest around the campers when it comes to physical challenges and that would intimidate everyone as it could be against her, she was already MVP many times, so that would make her a very good obstacle for the campers try to surpass her." Ezekiel explained that Chris nodded his head and even wrote down some notes like the interview how it should be... "And their reason...if you want drama, see Trent shit himself at the time you release Eva in his direction like a wild animal ready to kill its prey.."
"Oh?" Chris said as he started to smirk again. "Does she also have a grudge against Trent?"
"After watching what he did, Tyler wants to punch Trent in the face... but Eva... she wants to beat the crap of him, but also there is one more on her target... She became fiercer and I would be in panic in case I would have to fight against her." Ezekiel explained in a way that Chris was smiling widely at him. "And in case you are thinking of Leshawna would cause drama with Heather, sure she would, but in case Heather leaves the show, the drama would be over... but if you make Eva appear, even if Trent leaves the show, Heather would need to think many ways to protect herself to not get on Eva's radar or she would be eliminated."
"Ah, making Eva a main focus and threat to the others, but also showing that she would create a huge chaos into beating the others up... of course, you know Ezekiel, if wasn't for the fact you are a competitor, I would have hired you as a producer to make ideas for the campers," Chris smirked which Ezekiel rolled his eyes.
"And have a salary of the intern? Or the possibility of my friends getting more pissed than the ideas you took from my stories of Courage the Cowardly Dog? Pass, but still, I'm glad that you are having a lot of fun." Ezekiel commented as he could see the smirk becoming a smile. "Anyway, I think that's enough for the interview Chris... It was nice to talk to you."
"Same as always Ezekiel, now go and talk to the others, let's see what they have to say," Chris said as he already had some strong names in his mind... the votes were rigged from the start...
Ezekiel was about to go to bed, after having a good shower. hours have passed at Chris's decision to bring two campers back to the show, and since he wanted to be the first one to return to his bedroom, he wanted to enjoy the good time he had... Until he heard some knocks...
"Huh? Who is it?" Ezekiel commented as he went after the door and at the time he opened it... he was surprised to see Eva staring at him with her arms crossed. "Oh hey, Eva. What can I do for you?"
Eva remained with her arms crossed, but to surprise the winter hat boy, she without asking or even warning... she hugged him.
"You already did too much Ezekiel, thank you." Eva hugged him as she tried to not use too much strength, and the hug itself surprised deeply the homeschooled boy until he collected the pieces and understood what happened.
"So Chris chose you to another try... heh... you deserve it. But now that you are here... Can you do me a favor when you return to see the Killer Bass?" Ezekiel asked as he was released from the hug, and with a nod from Eva, Ezekiel smiled, as he immediately went to the table, with a letter ready to give to his friends... And knowing it would be in Eva's hands, he knew that he could trust her. "Please go to the Aquarium and before the challenge, please reunite the group and read this letter for them, okay?"
Eva had her eyebrow raised upon seeing the letter... so knowing that it was a little favor for Ezekiel who suggested she be part of the cast once again... she was more than ready, so she nodded her head, and before leaving, she messed the hair of the boy, even if his winter hat was on the top.
Eva chuckled before leaving the homeschooled boy, knowing that the next day she wouldn't be there anymore. So in the meantime, she felt she was going to miss her time on the playa since she needed to toughen up before returning to the camp, Chris's instructions were clear, she could not tell the campers about her stay on the playa del losers which would bring their attention into losing quicker than they should. And the other instruction was...Create chaos and make her enemies shit themselves, that made Eva grin evilly if was for the sake of the sick entertainment for Chris? She had one boy and one animal that she wanted to pay a visit to.
She was more than ready for the challenge.
The next morning coming across the Playa del Losers, two boats left the place where the next episode of the show would be aired, some of the members watched their friends leaving the Playa, as some were going to miss them, but also cheering for the time they would appear once again on the show.
But some still were sleeping since it was too early to be, Ezekiel woke up from his bed and checked on the clock, soon it was going to be the time he was going to take his pneumonia medicine, knowing that the person who would usually come appear... wasn't there... But instead, there was something on the corner of the table, a medicine pill, a glass of water, a little gift box with a note on the top...
Ezekiel waited patiently until the clock was exactly on the time he needed, so at the moment it was time for him to take his meds, he did it without thinking twice. And by drinking all the water, he gave a slight glance at the note...Ezekiel slowly raised the note, and he could see who clearly the person was...
Hey Ezekiel, guess who is now going to the show again? Yeah, of course you know, I heard from Chris you indicated to me, and even if this happened before without knowing about the future, should I say that? How you can describe the time from the former past that happened before you came from the future?
"Cannon event Izzy." Ezekiel chuckled as he smiled at her letter, already knowing she was way smart, but sometimes even a genius with Ph.D. would have some confusing moments like that, The Big Bang Theory and Back from the Future case an example.
Anyway, still, thank you so much for your support for me... I'm going to try to put my plan in motion and possibly win this game. (Wink drawn) But also...thank you for being someone I can trust too, you have helped me so much, and from your warnings of the future, I know that my future will be brighter, and words cannot express how much your help meant to me... So I left this gift for you only... As a way to show my gratitude, and to make you never forget about me.
Thank you... for saving my future.
Izzy.
P.S.: Enjoy my gift.
Ezekiel had his eyebrow raised as he nodded his head and left the letter on the table, he brought the gift to his hands and opened it happily... However, his entire face became red when he saw 3 things...
1 - A green bra,
1 - A green G String Panties
1 - Photograph of Izzy, blowing a kiss in a compromising position, in her nude glory...
Ezekiel felt his brain toast, as he took out his winter hat... And had just one more thing to say.
"Goddammit, second puberty," Ezekiel said before going to the bathroom.
"And now I would like to annunciate the first Killer Bass motherly reunion. I welcome you all, and I thank you for accepting my invitation." A well-dressed woman, who has a portrait of a lawyer called around the group of women who have been around the main room, and by everyone staring at the well-matured woman, they could swear, the C.I.T. Courtney was a younger copy of the girl in front of them. And on the name tag showed a name that every member of the group could see clearly, Victoria was the name that would fit a daughter like Courtney. "I think since our kids have been friends since the first episode. I think it would be fair if we also meet each other."
"I also have to agree, making a reunion party with us was really a great idea," the brown-haired woman said as she felt well received just like the other mothers who also were around the tag was named Alisson, and a skull and a moon draw. "Also thanks to your children. I know that my sweet Gwen has great friends to help around. And while she was a Screaming Gopher, her experience there wasn't good... But your children accepted her with arms wide open, and I cannot thank you all enough."
The mothers smiled as they could clearly see how the mother dotted the gothic girl, and they had to confess, the girl was very nice and friendly, she was an example to not judge the book by the cover.
And the warm smile around the group was everyone staring at the great table of food in the house. All with a great combination of every single mother bringing something to eat or drink, and with the courtesy of DJ's Momma also on there, the dessert was guaranteed clients for her in the future, since the Caribbean rum cake was what made the mothers don't care if they have diet or not.
"I will need to do leg press for 2 hours to burn this on my body." The ruff voice of the well-muscled woman commented as she already could guess the number of calories she would have to burn at the time she got out from the meeting, but with a shrug, the juggernaut mother ate 2 plates of food anyway. The name tag of Anastasia and a dumbbell drawing as well.
"Hmm, this Mc'n cheese is delicious, who did it?" The woman appeared to be blond with even some gray hairs around her head, but still, the well-free spirit smile, and even still wearing her swimsuit clothing, and a name tag on her chest, with a surfboard drawing... And a name tagged Karen. She was enjoying the tasty food over the table.
"Oh, that's me. My son always says that money won't buy happiness, but my mac'n'cheese always does. You must be Bridgette's mother, am I right?" The woman raised her hand and even walked towards the surfer woman who seemed to be enjoying very good food. Her name tag showed a party hat with Sarah's name on it. "I'm Geoff's mom."
"Oh, I've always wanted to meet you. Since our kids are in a relationship." Karen commented as she gave a slight handshake to the mother of the party boy. "So, why don't you tell me more about yourself?"
In another part of the room, DJ' Momma was also enjoying good food, time and even watching Anastasia, Eva's mom already having a good amount of food to eat to recover her calories just to burn them out later. A time when both women would talk about their time raising their children and how they became so big and strong.
"I just hope my son is alright, that moose was completely an accident." A woman wearing glasses and even having a ginger hair-bun on the head she was still feeling anxious about what was going to happen. The tag on her blouse was glasses and the name Rachel on it. "Harold was in such a lovely stable relationship, and just like that, I can see him being beaten by both Leshawna and Heather."
"Rachel, calm down. It's going to be fine, " Both women said at the same time, one was a tan-dressed woman, and the other was also slim and very well-dressed in an dress Asian, both women tapping her back trying to assure the ginger boy would be fine. The tan woman with the tag and the name Jessica, and the Asian-dressed woman with the tag and the name Jennifer.
"Do you remember the case Katie had to deal with the first freak out?" The Asian woman said as she felt nostalgic, which the other woman nodded at her.
"That was early or after she got lost in the mall with you taking them both?" The tan woman replied which made the other woman groan.
"Please don't remind me, it took me hours to try to find them. But hey, at least your daughter has a boyfriend. You could go mama bear on him, but it seems her friends went first." Jennifer commented as the tan woman laughed even leaving a tear on her eye.
"Oh yeah, seeing him almost piss himself was indeed something our family loved to watch. I even recorded it for future dates." Jessica replied which made the other woman roll her eyes but with a smirk.
"You are cruel," Jennifer commented as both smiled but then returned to help the nerd mom recover from her outburst.
"And then my husband almost broke his arm by sampling tying to fix a bowling ball machine. Tyler had to bring butter from the supermarket 10 minutes from there." The woman who was telling the story of how her husband lost both his shirt and almost his arm at the time the group went bowling. And from seeing the scared face of DJ's momma, she could see that it was indeed something to be concerned about. The woman was dressed in gym clothes, and even had a headband on her head, she had a tag on her clothes with the name Dehila on it... "That's why we always should be ready for all the accidents."
"Your family are bringers of destruction and pain..." Anastasia commented as she stared at a woman who looked affronted... "You are awesome, maybe our family should hang out."
"Do you mean it?" Dehila smiled as DJ's momma had her mouth wide open... but just shrugged as the group decided to make a date for the group would even go to eat or even do some workouts together.
And like every mother, becoming friends in their inner circle. Victoria enjoyed very much meeting every single mother from her daughter's team, she raised a winner, but watching her daughter learn, adapting and improving herself in every challenge, and having some good friends and possibly a boyfriend, while she wasn't that much fan of Duncan, but still seeing him maturing was one of the best aspects that she has been watching on the show.
"Wow, your daughter looks exactly like you." Then a voice was enough to make the lawyer woman stop in her tracks and to see something which surprised her... A woman wearing a dark green winter hat a book drawn on the tag with the name Martha on it, and a blonde woman who had also tags of skulls and a cheese on her tag and the name Sheila on it. The duo who came made Victoria an amused look on her face, but also recognized the name tags and possibly why the duo came after her.
"Ezekiel and Duncan?" Victory deduced as both mothers nodded their heads at her, and were surprised to see the appearance of the winter hat woman. "You must also be surprised to be misguided as Gwen's relative because you almost look like her."
"Oh, I remember my husband telling me that. But I'm not aware if I have a relative with her." Martha commented as she looked at the blonde woman who was also happy to be there.
"Ah, hello... well, I want to thank you both, since it's been a while since I saw Duncan becoming so much more responsible, and even behaving himself more. His parole officer was very surprised by his improvement. And I thank you both for that." Sheila commented that she felt grateful for both mothers having made his son a more behaved son, and even becoming more mature around the show.
Martha smiled, as she could see how happy the parents were and in harmony, the group was into enjoying eating and talking.
"I have to agree. I never saw my son Ezekiel so happy to have friends for the first time, in many years I was afraid of him doing something that would make him hurt... but this show kinda proved my point... that I never saw him growing up so much. And I'm happy to meet the other 2 pillar mothers." Martha commented as both Sheila and Victoria nodded their heads to her.
"Don't say like that, your son indeed was an inspiration. My lawyering company used the opportunity of the show and managed to catch a few laws related to how some schools indeed showed some lack of security, and how sometimes the votes of people willing to stop going to public schools to trying to study from learning at the libraries and even trying to hire personal teachers to help them focus into their studies..." Victoria had to give the hand of the boy, after never going to school, he showed something that she never thought of before. "And I even caught some of my assistants debating on which first book your son would publish first in the future."
"I have to agree. Duncan's brothers want so much to read Courage the Cowardly Dog to see if they are going to get scared like Duncan did." Sheila said happily, and Martha felt like a grown of a good friendship.
"Well it may be any of them, but I'm glad to see that my son finally opening his wings... it will be difficult to see him go, but he is like me... wanting to go free, and when I was on his age, I wanted to be an explorer and do many crazy adventures as well," Martha commented as she was happy to remind the old memories where she would go at the nature and even hunt with her bow. But then she looked at both Victoria and Sheila. "And I have to tell you both, Courtney and Duncan indeed took the role of old siblings on him, because it's funny to see them doing the most difficult part into explaining how life works... even watching television and movies, sometimes I feared he would be outside of the social circle, but I have to thank both Courtney and Duncan to help him to fit in..."
"Well, I wish I could take all the compliments, but it was my daughter's accomplishment, and I have to say, while Duncan may be a brute diamond in some edges... I can see how my daughter is also growing up with the help of her team... Now I'm curious, what did he do to make himself juvenile?" Victoria had to confess that seeing a kind and sweet mother indeed shows a difference between water and wine. And from what she learned, Duncan had many detectives' relatives, so he must be aware of the law.
"Well... it was more he ran naked on the street at the New Year's party, selling his father's hair pieces as pets, and recently before going to the show he did a pool party in the city hall Fountain," Sheila explained kindly which made Victoria's eyes widen in surprise and with a slight twitch, and Martha whistle in surprise.
"I have to say, this kid knows how to entertain himself," Martha commented as she could see the delinquent boy doing that.
Victoria sighed.
"And here I thought he would have done something to go to prison... He is just a vandal like he said... It's easy to deal with that in court, I can eat them out like cereal, however... pieces of your husband's hair as pets?" Victoria asked as she asked in disbelief, and saw the blond woman rolling her eyes.
"His father's hair was a crime. It was terrible, and I was the one to ask him to rid them... but he managed to get money into doing it." Sheila commented as she even showed an old picture from her purse a picture of the old version of the hat, which made both Martha and Victory have their eyes wide open in surprise.
"Are you sure this isn't a squirrel? Because I saw some gray squirrels in my life, and this looks almost like them." Martha commented as Victoria shoved into seeing such horror...
"Okay, you proved your point, this should even be illegal and be treated as a crime." Victoria nodded, as she herself knew that it would take a while, but it seemed that she had a case in her hands.
"Thank you." Sheila expressed her feelings over her husband's terrible taste, she even scoffed. "When we had our children, it was a very nice time to use it, like the time when we were a band to sing children's songs."
"Oh really?" Both Martha and Victoria asked in surprise, and Sheila was happy with the good times both her husband and her, they became a famous band for children known as Banana and Cheese. Not knowing Victoria now has a very good weapon of blackmail for Duncan to behave at her house in the future...
That's the start of a beautiful friendship and family.
