If You Can't Take the Heat...
POV. Third person
Chris is standing on the dock, "Last time on Total Drama Island. Our competitors became hunters and the hunted", different scenes of the contestants are seen during the challenge. "We had everything, chases, internal disputes, betrayals and bare-handed fights with animals, hahaha. Cody managed to defeat a bear with his bare hands in order to protect Lindsay", Cody is riding on the bear's back, then falls into the pit. "But then he spared his life and he seemed to return the favor" the bear leaves, leaving Cody alone. "In the end Beth rebelled against Heather, thus ending her alliance and causing her to be removed from the competition, but not before telling Heather what she thought of her, hahahaha", Beth boards the losers' boat and leaves, "Which team will demonstrate their superior cooking skills in today's fire challenge?" Find out here on TOTAL… DRAMA… ISLAND!".

POV. Cody
It was morning when I woke up and surprisingly I didn't have any weird dreams. I looked at the dream catcher on my neck, "it looks like this thing works more than just as a good luck charm," I said smiling. I got out of bed and felt better than normal. Today was the cooking challenge, the first one I wasn't supposed to participate in.
I had managed to overcome my trauma and maintain my place in the competition, I don't know what will happen now or how this change will affect the competition from now on, but all that remains is to observe and interfere if necessary, this is not the end after all.

POV. Duncan
I got up this morning and started doing push-ups on the floor when a rancid smell hit me., "Oh gross, dude!", it was Harold's underwear, the nerd left them everywhere, Geoff started laughing from his bed.
Confessional.
Duncan
"There are only three boys left on the Bass team, unfortunately one of them is Harold, yes the nerd has proven himself several times during the challenges, but that does not excuse the fact that sharing a dorm with him is a nightmare, I'm afraid that if Geoff leaves and we're left alone, it won't be a day before I kill him," he said in a matter-of-fact voice, "but for now, the nerd needs a lesson," he said, smiling devilishly.
End of confessional.
"Not cool, Harold, man! Not cool!" I told him, annoyed.
"Those aren't mine", he tried to deny, of course because there are so many boys in this cabin.
"No one else wears that kind, dude, you can't deny it", Geoff told him.
"Whatever. I'm going for a shower", then he left the cabin.
Geoff and I looked at each other and smiled, "Do you want to teach that nerd a lesson?"
"Sure man, I'm in."

POV. Cody
Chris had asked us to go to the beach for today's challenge.
"Hi Cody," a very happy Lindsay approached me to walk with me to the beach.
For someone who just lost a friend, she's pretty happy, "You look unusually happy today, did something happen?"
"Oh, Heather and the other girls let me do their hair and give them fashion tips, it was so much fun."
So Gwen and LeShawna also helped her not think about Beth, I guess they get along better with her this time.
"Oh, I really like that necklace you have, you were wearing it during the hunting challenge, right?" She asked me, referring to the dream catcher that I was wearing around my neck.
"Yes, it was a gift from a friend... a very weird friend."
"Izzy?"
"Hahaha, weird in a different way."
"Great, what do you think today's challenge is? Maybe we'll have a swimsuit contest on the beach?" she asked very excitedly.
"That's something I'd like to see," it's a shame it's not going to happen.
"Yes, me too, an opportunity to model in bikinis", very sexy girls wearing them.
"I bet you'd be excited to see Heather in a swimsuit, right?" she said as she nudged me suggestively with her elbow.
But I did see her during the first challenge... and you too Linds, "... I'm not going to deny it, but you realize that all that love interest stuff is a facade so they don't find out about the alliance, right?
"...Ohhhhh, yeah, that makes a lot of sense," I laughed. I guess Lindsay will always be Lindsay.
"...so, you don't like Heather?"
"I like all kinds of ladies, I'm not going to lie to you, I am a man after all and I think Heather is very attractive, but she is someone very difficult to handle", that was what I really thought, all the ladies of this program were very attractive, it was what I thought when I participated the first time, and that thought has not changed, it has only grown or evolved"I wouldn't mind going out with her, but I'm also not going to deliberately try to win her over, if it can happen, then let it happen, that's my policy in life now," I told her quite calmly.
"Oh I see, that's how I felt about Tyler, good luck finding the girl you want to win over then," she replied.
"Thank you Linds," she really was a sweetheart.

We all met on the beach. Chris was about to announce the next challenge.
"Today's challenge will test your minds, your teamwork, and your skills in the kitchen! You'll be cooking a three-course meal and serving it to me for tasting. The winners get a reward and the losers will send somebody home. Each team will appoint a head chef to create the theme of the meal and to oversee the cooking. To cook, you need ingredients.", a truck emerged from the water, I wonder how it did it, "Every morning, a truck brings us food. Today 's task starts there", a dolphin in uniform leaned out of the driver's window and greeted us.
"Hey, you see the dolphin too, right?" a surprised Owen asked a surprised Noah.
"I can't believe I'm going to say yes," he replied.
"Uh, shouldn't he have arrived on a boat? He's a dolphin," Lindsay asked me. I just patted my confused friend on the shoulder.
Once the surprise was over we approached the truck to collect the ingredients, "We could do a killer Italian theme!", I heard Geoff say, it looks like he's going to be their head chef again.
"Head chef! Called it! " Heather commented, I didn't protest, the way I see it this can go in two directions, Heather acts like a bitch during the challenge and makes everyone fed up, which causes us to lose and expel her, or the most likely, she acts like a true leader considering that she has lost an ally and that she could be in the team's sights, so we win and no one goes home, which also works, in any case I am not a target today and there is no need to resolve anything beyond the kitchen either. since this time there is no cursed idol.
Confessional.
Heather
"Now that Beth is gone, I only have two people left in my alliance and Cody's loyalty is questionable. That's why I plan to get the team together a little this time and focus my strategies on Bass" she said with a cruel smile.
Courtney
"The others decided to make Geoff the head chef. This time I'll just focus on the dish in question and go with the flow, bickering won't help anyone."
End of confessional.
After collecting the ingredients we headed towards the kitchen. Heather began organizing the theme and cooking equipment.
"Okay, Gwen, Lindsay and... Trent, you're on the citrus macadamia upside down cake flambé. Is that okay?"
Gwen looked doubtful, "huh... Did you just ask us if it's okay? Like you really care?" she asked her.
Heather rolled her eyes, "I can reconsider, my consideration you know," she threatened.
"Sounds fair," Gwen replied quickly.
Just then Owen arrived carrying the sack of oranges, "I'll help you friend," I told him before he dropped them.
"Thanks dude".
"Owen, Noah, take care of the ribs," Heather told them.
"Whatever you order your majesty," they both laughed at Noah's joke.
Heather just glared at them, "whatever, LeShawna and Cody you're on pineapple skewers and mango dip."
"Girl, let me handle the appetizers. I know how to make a pineapple chutney that will knock the socks off the devil.", said LeShawna, I wonder how she learned it considering she's allergic to pineapple.
"It seems like a good idea," I said, giving my support.
Heather sighed, "it's okay you can take care of that, just don't ruin it," she warned us, "I have something else to do, I'll come back later to see how the dishes are going," then she left. I wonder what she's up to now.

POV. Duncan
Harold went to the cabins to get more clothes after I spilled water on him. Geoff and Bridgette were making the pasta together, I motioned to Geoff and he nodded.
"You know, you look good when you're cooking dinner", Bridgette seemed flattered, "kinda like my friend Evan's really hot mom", and the compliment was gone, she was not happy.
I slapped my face, "He's terrible at this, isn't he?" Courtney commented.
"Pretty bad, you know what? Let him deal with it alone, we have a dessert to prepare."

POV. Trent
"Let's see, we need hazelnuts, oranges, sugar...", while Lindsay read the ingredients, I arranged them on the table.
*Crack*
Some ingredients fell to the floor, "argh, great," Gwen bent down to pick them up and I couldn't help but get distracted.
"Do you want me to help you?" I asked her after a while as she approached me.
"Thank you," she told me, a little blushing.
"You're welcome," I said, also blushing. We stayed seeing each other for quite a long time.
Then we got up, but we were both still distracted, "And those would be all the ingredients, do you have them?" Lindsay asked me, turning to look at us, without having noticed our exchange.
"Yes, I have them all," I didn't and at the time I hadn't realized that many of the ingredients were wrong, I only had eyes for Gwen.
Confessional.
Trent
"Ever since Gwen and I started dating, everything has been going great, even Heather has stopped bothering us for some reason, so things have been a little soggy since then, I hope this doesn't interfere with the challenges, that would be embarrassing".
End of confessional.
"Okay then, now I'll start reading you the steps to prepare the flambé," Lindsay said excitedly.
"Yes, I have them all," I repeated like a fool, I really wasn't paying attention.
"Great," she replied without realizing it.

POV. Owen
Noah was varnishing the ribs with sauce, I inhaled deeply, it smelled so good, without realizing it, I had started to drool.
Noah looked at the ribs doubtfully after finishing off the varnish of sauce, "uh, do you think they need more sauce? I'm not a rib expert," my little friend said.
"Of course, more is always better when it comes to ribs, trust me I'm an expert," I replied, I could already taste those ribs with extra sauce.
"Ok, we'll need more sauce then, I'll go get more, take care of the ribs," he told me as he went to get more sauce.
I looked closely at the ribs, then saw an unlabeled jar of what looked like sauce, "Hey Noah, I found sauce around here."
"Great, varnish it while I get the rest," he replied from another part of the kitchen.
I started pouring it on the ribs and spreading it with the brush, thinking about how tasty they would be.
Confessional.
Owen
His lips were red and swollen, "in retrospect, pouring unlabeled sauce, before verifying that it was sauce, was not one of my brightest decisions."
Noah
He had a bandage around his head, "in retrospect, leaving Owen alone with food was not one of my brightest decisions."
Heather
Her eyebrows were painted on with makeup and she was very angry, "I leave them alone for ten fucking minutes and they cause Armageddon, then they wonder why I'm always angry."
End of confessional.

POV. Duncan
"Come on Duncan, I know you can flatten more evenly," Courtney told me, she's so obsessive about little things, I think she was complaining for two hours in the confessional before the challenge started.
"I know what I'm doing princess, try not to curdle the custard with your attitude," I replied.
"Ha ha, you're so funny", I know, I don't need your praise.
At that moment Harold came in, dressed in a tiny thong, scaring Courtney away, I had to avoid falling to the floor laughing.
"Okay, who took all my shorts?" which was difficult, considering the others were laughing too.
Chris peeked out from the front and shuddered too, "Three hours and counting, guys."

POV. Trent
"Ok, now we have to add the fuel to flambé the dessert," said Lindsay reading the last step of the recipe, "uh, it says not to add too much here, how much is too much?", I didn't pay attention as I watched Gwen talking to Owen and Noah about ribs, throwing away a lot of fuel in the process.

POV. Duncan
Harold started working at the antipasto, "Dude. You've gotta put some clothes on, man. It's unsanitary to cook in something that… small", Geoff said mockingly.
"So gimme back my pants then!", Harold claimed angrily, oh this was so funny.
"Harold's right, dude. If you go to the cabin, you'like find a clean pair of underwear and shorts waiting", he walked away paying attention to me, Geoff and I laughed like crazy.
Then I returned to Courtney, who was looking at me with her arms crossed and one eyebrow raised.
"Hey, don't look at me like that princess, he brought it on himself, this is just a lesson."
She rolled her eyes, "just try not to take it too far, this team doesn't need any more trouble," she scolded me.
"I promise," I said, crossing my fingers behind my back. She looked at me suspiciously for a moment, but then went back to mixing the cream.

POV. Cody
"I'm sorry you have to do most of the work, but my pineapple allergy is pretty severe," LeShawna apologized.
"No problem," I wasn't sure, the recipe had a lot of different ingredients than what Heather had planned to use, so I had to go back to the truck to get them, I don't know what the others have been doing while I was gone, I hope they didn't start a fire.

POV. Courtney
Harold entered dressed in his pajamas, and the others applauded him, how childish they all are.
"Nice jammies," Duncan told him.
"This is all I've got left. So if you sickos want to see me butt naked, hit me with your best shot," he replied.
"Well, stop leaving your butt bags all over the cabin and we'll back off."
"I told you it wasn't me!" Harold lashed out.
I just shook my head, that stubbornness won't get you anywhere, you should give in Harold it's best for you.
"Wow, it looks like things are pretty interesting on this side," said a new voice.
"What do you want Heather? This is not your team's side," I responded quickly putting myself on guard, nothing good can come of her being here.
"Relax Courtney, I'm here to make love, not war. We're out of tomatoes and I thought the friendly Bass might look deep into their hearts and give us some," she said in a dramatic voice. Who does she think she's fooling?
"Sure friend, take as many as you need, we already made our sauce anyway", What!? What are you doing Geoff?
"What are you saying Geoff? She's the enemy, we shouldn't help them."
Confessional.
Courtney
"Yes, I know how hypocritical that was, but come on, it's Heather."
End of confessional.
"Relax princess, they're just some tomatoes, we don't need them anymore," Duncan said.
"Grrrr," I just grunted when she was given the tomatoes, if it was some other Gopher I would have at least considered it, but it's Heather, she's been irritating me more ever since she dared to comment on the size of my breasts.
"Thank you guys," said the queen bee, "I must say you are doing very well leading your team as head chef Courtney."
I looked at her confused, "Hey Heather, Geoff is the head chef," Sadie said also confused.
"What?" she said surprised, "Isn't it Courtney? I thought with your leadership skills you would be the one in charge, no offense Geoff," she apologized, What is she doing?
"Wait, what does that mean?" Geoff asked unsure. Oh, that bitch.
"Well..." Bridgette said, not knowing how to answer.
"Bridgette?".
"It's just that sometimes you're not the brightest."
"Is that what you think?" Geoff asked, hurt.
Before I could say anything I noticed Heather looking at the dough of our dessert, I quickly got in front of her, but that didn't stop her.
"Wow, that dessert looks a little unbalanced."
"Duncan made the dough, that's why it looks like that," shit, I responded reflexively.
"Excuse me, what does that mean princess? I've been following your instructions, don't try to throw me under the bus," he replied angrily.
"Hey, guys, I don't think it's time to fight..." Sadie said, but no one heard her.
"I wouldn't expect anything better from a clothes thief," Harold commented.
"What did you say, nerd!? Come here and say it to my face," Duncan threatened.
Before we knew it we were all arguing and Heather left without anyone noticing.
Confessional.
Heather
"Too easy," she said pleased, "the Bass are so dysfunctional that a few comments are more than enough to bring them down."
End of confessional.

POV. Heather
I returned with my team and it seems that Owen, Noah, LeShawna and Cody's groups were going well, the ones left to finish were...
"Why haven't you guys finished yet?" I said after seeing that the flambe had not yet cooked, "I have to do everything myself," I lit the cake with the lighter.
*Boom*
And the cake exploded in my face. It seems that I had only been scorched a little, I looked for a frying pan in alarm and saw that my eyebrows had been charred "Ahhhhhhh!" I looked angrily at the three responsible for the incident, who reasonably shrank uncomfortably, "they are going to pay for this "I threatened them, then left the kitchen, fuck the challenge, I need my makeup.
If we lose I already have candidates to go home.
Confessional.
Gwen
"I admit that was not our intention, it really was an accident."
Trent
"Wow, man, I can't believe Heather almost lost face because of me, I feel so bad right now."
End of confessional.

POV. Courtney
We were all still arguing. Every time someone tried to get us back on track someone else lashed out and we still hadn't finished the dishes. I can't believe a few words from that bitch made us jump on each other. At this rate we were going to lose the challenge.
"ENOUGH!", to our surprise, Sadie stood up at the table and spoke, "Look at each other... yes, what Heather said may have been hurtful, but they aren't things we didn't already know about each other.", We all looked at each other embarrassed, "if my fight with Katie taught me anything, it's that friends are not perfect, they are full of flaws. But if you put them aside, you will be able to see all their virtues," the BFF told us.
We all stayed silent, "well, you have good ideas from time to time Geoff, you came up with the Italian food thing after all," Bridgette said to Geoff, making him happy.
"Thank you babe, and you Harold, despite your mess, you helped us get our first victory."
"Yes, but we would be finished without Duncan's plan."
"What can I say, I wouldn't have joined the game if a certain super competitive princess hadn't persuaded me."
I smiled, "well people, what are we waiting for? There is a challenge to win", everyone nodded and went back to work, I approached Sadie who was coming down from the table, "thank you, what you said really helped us."
"No problem, don't underestimate a BFF when it comes to friendship problems," she said.
"Okay! Who's made s'mores out of my underwear?!" Harold shouted.
"That, on the other hand, is a problem far out of my league," I slapped my forehead.

POV. Cody
After Heather's irritated exit, we had finally finished the dishes, although the flambé looked just as bad as the first time. I hope that the pineapple cocktail and the ribs will be enough, "Alright guys, let's decorate the table a little," said LeShawna, taking command.
"Owen, Noah, keep an eye on the food," I told them. With Noah watching Owen he wouldn't be able to eat the dishes.
"And if it grows legs and leaves, I'll let you know, I've got it," said my know-it-all friend.
We went to decorate the table and I was happy to not see any cursed idols anywhere. For a moment I was afraid she was like those dolls you throw in the trash and they keep coming back in horror movies.
-0-
POV. Noah
"Dude, stop drooling over the food, you'll ruin it," I said for the third time to Owen.
"Come on, just one rib," Owen told me desperately. I guess there's no harm in eating just one, it's better than having a hunger attack and eating the whole thing.
"Okay, but you can only eat one, you don't want to make the others mad," he nodded, pulled out a rib and ate it in one bite, "How is it?"
His pupils shrank and he spat out a torrent of flames. How the hell was that possible? "AHHHHHHH! THIS BURNS!" He started running around the kitchen.
"Owen!", he ran past me, throwing open the door, "oh shit", that door was the last thing I saw before everything went black.

POV. Courtney
Duncan was putting too much filling in the rolls, "You're such a slob. They all have to have the same amount of custard.", it exasperates me that they are not the same.
"Oh, relax. They're fine. You know, you'd be a lot more fun without that pole up your butt.", I'm fun!
"I'm like, the most easy going person I know!".
"Oh yeah. You're totally laid back", he shot the filling out of the pastry bag into my face, oh yes, that's that does it.
I threw the bowl with the rest of the cream on his head, his surprised face was really funny, "hahaha", I took some cream from his head and tried it.
Confessional.
Duncan
"Man, that girl creases me. I dig that in a chick, also, I gave Cody her bra, she's going to be mad if she ever finds out.".
Courtney
"Duncan and me? Right. As if. I'm so sure. Not in a million years. Please. When pigs fly".
"Yo! You still busy protesting in there or can someone else have a turn?", LeShawna asked from outside.
"Like I was saying, not gonna happen.".
End of confessional.

POV. Cody
The Bass served their dishes first, the antipasto and spaghetti were as good as last time.
Even though they didn't have a DJ and his excellent culinary skills. It seems that Bridgette and Geoff have their touch too.
"On a scale of one to ten, fifteen. How will the Gophers respond?" Chris asked, now it was our turn.
LeShawna motioned for Owen and Noah to come out... but when they didn't she and Trent came into the kitchen to see what was going on, I started to sweat a little, what could have happened this time?
I was a little relieved when the appetizers and ribs were brought out, but there was still no sign of the other two.
When Trent stood with us I asked him what happened, "Hey Trent, where are Noah and Owen?"
"I don't know, when we walked into the kitchen Owen was nowhere to be found and Noah was on the floor passed out," how weird.
Chris proceeded to try the pineapple cocktail first, "wow, this is a quality appetizer, 10," the host announced, LeShawna and I high-fived, at least that went well.
"Okay now the ribs, they look delicious," Chris took one out and tried it, we were all expectant. But he opened his eyes wide and shot a stream of fire from his mouth. How the hell did he do that? "AHHHHH! Spicy, too spicy!" the host said as he grabbed his throat.
Courtney quickly walked in and out of the kitchen with a glass of milk for the host.
Chris snatched it up and sighed in relief, then thought about it for a moment as he gasped, "Well, I'd say... 1", ouch, that's a tough blow for us, I'm sorry to say, but we already lost this challenge, it looks like the others agreed, "Alright, it's time for dessert."
Confessional.
Gwen
"It may have cost us the competition, but I'm not going to lie, I really enjoyed that."
End of confessional.
Courtney and Duncan presented their dish, she seemed nervous, but Duncan put his hand on her shoulder reassuringly, it seems like things are still moving forward the same for those two, I wonder what I should do.
Chris tried the stuffed rolls, "eh~, 6? Let's see if the Gophers can achieve a miracle", I'm sorry, but I didn't prepare any this time.
"Trent put the burned flambe on the table, but it deflated to ashes, as well as the hopes of this team.
"Oh, that's not good," LeShawna said.
He tried it anyway, but he started to choke, I quickly got behind Chris and gave him a solid smack on the back with my elbow. He spat out the burnt remains, "yeah, no points for that. Looks like the Bass win again."
The Bass celebrated while we became discouraged, at least now I know it had nothing to do with luck and that I have to be as attentive to events that change as those that don't.
"And as promised, the winners will be enjoying a reward tonight. A five-star dinner under the stars."
They were excited by the news, so much so that Duncan hugged Courtney and picked her up. She was fine at first, but then she got fed up. If I didn't know all the bad things their relationship caused, then I would have found it a lot funnier.

Lindsay and I were sitting on the stairs leading to the beach, she was nervous and I was bored leaning on my hand, while Heather (now with properly painted eyebrows) paced back and forth in the sand, irritated like a caged beast.
It is incredible that her eyebrows were burned despite the circumstances being different. But it helped me understand something, the events work just like the routes in a video game, depending on the decision you make, a new path opens in the story. On the other hand, there are the crossover events, in which it doesn't matter if you come at them from different angles, they are bound to happen no matter what you try to change them, like the bear that appeared even though it didn't leave any crumbs or the burnt eyebrows of Heather, where Trent was at fault instead of Lindsay and Gwen.
This is a pretty solid theory, but it's not that it's of much use, since I don't know which are multiple events and which are crossed, the only thing I can do is act and see the results.
"Stupid, miserable, fools, I try to be considerate, and what do you do? You cause a cake to explode in my face, leaving me without eyebrows, only to then go and lose the challenge," she was very upset, but Al is right. , she's a little sexier when she's like this, I'm not going to pretend like she's not.
"Now we have to decide which of the losers is leaving tonight," he said, narrowing her eyes at Lindsay, who hid behind me in embarrassment.
"Leave her alone Heather, you know this wasn't her fault, I'm defending her," she also looked at me badly, but she didn't have anything to attack me on this occasion, I also know that she wasn't mad at me, so she couldn't really intimidate me.
She calmed down a little, "well there are still four others who ruined it today, we have to choose the most annoying one."
Yes and they were all my friends, it may seem like I'm being insensitive by helping Heather vote for them, but that applies to someone who doesn't know that they are going to a vacation resort after they leave, or that many of them will have two or three more chances for the million, this competition was only the first.
Lindsay touched my shoulder so I turned to look at her and she pointed to someone in the distance, I made a hand gesture to Heather for her to shut up, Trent had come towards us.
"Hey guys, Heather wanted to apologize for almost burning your face," she looked at him annoyed, "also, there's something I'd like to ask you about tonight's vote," he told us a little awkwardly, this is weird, "I want you to vote for me." What?
"What?" Heather asked.
"Who?" Lindsay asked, but we all ignored her.
"Yes, I thought about it a lot and I really realized that my new relationship with Gwen may have clouded my judgment during the competition, that's why I've decided to finish it...the competition."
"So, you're telling us that between Gwen or the million, you choose the goth?" Heather said doubtfully.
"Yes, that's what I say...uh, I mean yes, I choose Gwen."
"Have you talked to her about this?" Lindsay asked, Heather looked at her dirty, but didn't say anything, I guess she was curious too.
"Actually yes, I didn't agree at first, but I explained my reasoning, I don't want to hurt another teammate by accident, besides it's enough for one of us to reach the final, I already got the girl, I don't need a hundred thousand dollars," he said happily, "she reluctantly accepted... with the promise that I will write to her as soon as possible when I leave.".
"I see, well who are we to stop a determined man, we'll miss you Trent," Heather said a little too happily, this saved her time after all, besides, at the moment she wasn't really at enmity with Gwen, so she didn't care that much about her relationship with Trent.
I for one wasn't all that surprised that Trent wants out for hurting Heather, he's the type to take responsibility for his mistakes, perhaps for being a superstitious believer in karma, to the point of even quitting the competition.
"Well, if that's your decision, then you have our votes, friend," I replied.
"Thanks, man, I already talked about it with the others, and they will vote too, I really appreciate it."

We were at the bonfire ceremony, but unlike other times, there was no tension in the air, only resolution.
"Gophers, you lost... again, it's the third time, am I going to have to call you the new Bass?" Chris mocked.
"Just get this over with," Gwen said looking a little sad. I feel sorry for you friend, at least this time they will say goodbye on good terms.
"Heather... ...Lindsay... ...LeShawna... ...Cody", said Chris, "everyone else ruined it one way or another today hahahaha... ...Noah... ...Gwen... this is the last marshmallow, Owen you defiled those ribs with the hot sauce", he still had swollen lips, "Trent, you left Heather without eyebrows hahahahaha", Trent covered his face in shame, "And the last marshmallow of the night is for...

"¡Ches!".
"Trent you're going home buddy".
"Well it wasn't all that bad, I hope to see you all later when this is all over," he told us.
"Take care Elvis, at least you were a better cabin mate than Owen," he farted at being mentioned.
"Chorry", he couldn't be understood with his swollen mouth.

POV. Gwen
"Trent, wait," I said as he climbed into the losers' boat, I didn't think twice, I pulled his collar and gave him a kiss on the lips, surprising him, "you better write, or I'll come for you, it's a promise," I told him. I was feeling so happy and sad at the same time right now.
"Hehe, of course I will, you make sure you win this, for both of us."
"I don't know if I can, it won't be the same without you here," I really didn't want him to leave.
"It's okay, I know you can, you have good friends here after all," he told me.
"Yes, you're right," he really did.
The ship began to leave, I stood there until it was no longer visible.

POV. Cody
It was Owen, Noah and I sitting on the dock of shame, Owen and I had fishing rods while Noah read a book. It was the morning after Trent left, last night Duncan said he would have a surprise for everyone on the beach and for us to be there.
Obviously I knew what the surprise was, but I wasn't going to ruin it. Harold may be my friend, but his personal hygiene was disgusting, that changed after this joke. I wish it had stayed that way.
"I don't see the point in this fishing thing, it seems boring," said the know-it-all.
"Oh come on, it's not that bad," I replied good-naturedly, the usual familiar seagull was next to us stealing our bait.
"Sure~, and it has nothing to do with 'that', right?" 'That' was the girls from both teams swimming in the lake in front of us in their swimsuits.
Yes, that was the reason for my good mood, this was something I missed the first time due to my expulsion, seeing it on the program was not the same as seeing it live, "I have no idea what you're talking about, friend." , of course I took a lot of photos, it didn't seem to bother them, some even posed and smiled at the camera, I also took some of us.
"Hehehe, when do you think he'll wake up?" Owen asked, looking at Harold's bed in front of the beach with him still sleeping in it.
We watched as Harold squirmed, "I'd say... now," Noah commented.
Harold woke up disoriented, "hahahaha, good morning Harold," the girls said mockingly to the naked boy.
"AH!", who quickly covered himself with a pillow when he realized his situation. I also took a photo of him, after he covered himself of course, I didn't want that on my mind all the time.
"So, learned your lesson yet?" Duncan asked him as he was in a canoe with Geoff.
"Yes! Okay, yes."
"Oh, we're gonna need more than that, man," Geoff told him.
"I'll never leave my crusty underwear out again! I swear!" he replied.
"What the heck? I believe him. It was a pleasure doing business with you!" He threw him a bag with his clothes, while he and Duncan laughed.
Harold ran towards the cabin, "well he certainly learned his lesson," Noah commented humorously.
I just nodded, Owen pulled a fish out of the water, but it was immediately stolen by the seagull, "Ah, damn."
