Once school ended, Priya, MK, Millie and Julia returned to the Total Drama Mansion. When they arrived, all 4 of them went to Millie and Priya's room. Millie couldn't help but witness a smell that was briefly strange to her.

"What's that smell?" she asked.

"Some dinner everyone here has been making," Julia answered.

"Can't wait to chow down," Priya said. "Ow!"

"Let's get her to our room," Millie said.

The second they arrived, Priya laid on the floor near her bed.

"Thanks," Priya said. "I could surely use a massage."

"Priya," Millie started. "We have a bigger problem than your back on our hands."

"Exactly," MK commented. "I can't believe I didn't get the job because I'm Asian."

"Well, think about it, M," Millie said. "Have you ever seen anybody black, latino, or Asian working at Rainbow Shops?"

"Latino, yes," MK said. "Asian, no."

"You know, I can't even believe people are still so prejudiced," Priya said.

"Even Chris McLean saw it in his heart to have more diversity on his show," Julia replied.

"Well, they're out there, ladies," Priya said. "Matter of fact, this reminds me of my friend Marissa from the second grade."

"Whatever happened to him?"

"Well, one day while Marissa and I were at the park, her mom came charging over all of a sudden."

"What did her mom do?"

"She told her she's not allowed to play with kids my kind."

"What'd you do?"

"My parents were too busy training me for Total Drama to do anything. Plus, I was just nothing but a little kid. Before that day, I never thought of Freddy as different, or white. He was just my friend."

"Man," MK said. "I always knew about racism, but I never knew how much it could hurt."

"Yeah, MK," Julia commented. "That's intense. Well, I'm off to work."

"What? What? What?" MK asked Julia. "Are you actually going back there?"

"Well, yeah, MK," Julia answered. "It's so I can quit. Please, I'm not working for somebody like that. Fight the power! Peace out."

Everyone left the room except Priya.

"Wait!" Priya called out. "What about my massage?"

Seconds later, Kitty and Lillie entered the room.

"Hi," Lillie said. "I'm Lillie."

"Name's Priya," she said. "What's up?"

"Kitty's been teaching me about Asian culture," Lillie answered.

"Would any of that culture include massaging people's backs?" Priya asked.

"Do you want me to massage your back?" Lillie asked.

"Yeah, and Kitty too."

"Okay," Lillie said.

"Wait," Kitty told Lillie. "This is another thing about Asian people. Some, mainly those with heritage traced from Japan, use their feet to give massages."

"Their feet?" Priya asked. "Yeah," Kitty said before moving Priya to the middle of the floor. "Okay Lillie. Do as I do."

"Okay," Lillie said.

The 2 ladies stepped on Priya's back.

"Now what?" Lillie asked.

"Move your feet a bit," Kitty answered. "But be gentle."

Over the next 7 minutes, Priya was finally getting a much needed massage.

"This is more like it," Priya said.

"I still wanna know what a massage has to do with Asian culture," Lillie said.

"Known as foot pressure," Kitty started explaining. Ashiatsu is the western adaptation and blending of barefoot techniques found in Thai massage, barefoot shiatsu, and Keralite foot massage. This can do wonders to improve or restore flexibility in athletes, and can increase circulation in thick or muscular clients at a much faster rate than hands on massage."

"You learn something new everyday," Priya commented.

"Ashiatsu is also a wonderful modality for those clients that just want a really deep and relaxing massage," Kitty added.

"That's awesome," Lillie said.

Once they finished, Kitty asked if Priya felt better.

"I do," she answered. "I'm gonna take a nap now."

Lillie and Kitty understood and left the room.

"Hmm," Priya thought to herself. "I'm glad to have Kitty as a friend who knows a bit about Asian culture. I wonder who else does."

With that, Priya was napping like a quiet cat. We now teleport inside Priya's dream. For a while, it looked like there was nothing.

"Where am I?" Priya asked.

Then, a shadowy figure appeared out of nowhere.

"Come on!" Priya said. "You want me? Come and get me!"

"With pleasure," the shadowy figure said.

For about 2 minutes, it was a karate showdown.

"Wow!" Priya said. "You must have trained for this like I have."

As they continued, the shadowy figure thought it had Priya pinned. That only lasted 2 seconds.

"I trained for moments like this as well," Priya said.

"You know," the figure said. "I have argued with Chinese politics, I have entered my fair share of karate showdowns, but you, by far, are one of the youngest trained ladies I have ever met."

"Wow! That's cool."

"Tell me about it,"

"Who are you anyway?"

"Allow me to introduce myself while removing the cloak. Jackie Chan! Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too. No wonder you're such a karate pro."

"It was tough starting out."

That was when another figure entered.

"You think that's tough?" the figure asked. "Try being the first woman from any part of Asia to go into outer space and become an astronaut. I'd like to see you try."

"Priya," Jackie started. "Say hello to astronaut turned doctor, Chiaki Mukai. She's one of the reasons medical operations can be done while in space. Chiaki, Priya. Priya, Chiaki."

"So cool!" Priya said. "I am applying to med school next year myself."

"Look at you following in my footsteps," Chiaki commented.

That was when zither music started playing.

"You never told me you guys played string instruments," Priya said.

"That's not me," Jackie said.

"That's King Gasil playing a gayageum," Chiaki said. "Come with us."

The three of them went to another room.

"Royal greetings," King Gasil said. "Like my music?"

Priya said that it's cool. She then mentioned that some of today's people would go against that while showing them her iPod shuffle.

"Well," Jackie said. "If it wasn't for this kind of music, you wouldn't have your kind of music."

Priya's iPod then disappeared without a trace.

"What did you do with my iPod?" she asked.

"Just trying to show you what Korean style music would be like without this king's contribution," Jackie answered. "If it wasn't for those like him, K-pop would mean nothing today."

"Of course, I didn't get paid like the stars of today," King Gasil said.

"Let it go, please," Chiaki said.

"Wow!" Priya said. "I wish my friend was here to see this. She's Asian like all of you."

"You and your friend have no idea how much came from our people," Jackie answered.

More Asian figures then came into the room, greeting Priya.

"Priya," Jackie started. "Say hello to Hideo Shima. This Japanese engineer was the driving force behind the building of the bullet train, the world's fastest train known to man. Meet Byung-hyun Kim. He was the first Asian to win a World Series title, and for a few years, held the record for most saves in a single season. Yuri Kochiyama, Yuji Ichioka and Emma Gee, human rights activists."

There was also Dalip Singh Saund: first individual of any Asian American elected to congress, Li Na: first Asian tennis player to win a grand slam title and Samuel (Sammy) Lee, Olympic champion. In fact, he was the first Asian American to win back-to-back gold medals at the Olympics. Priya was about to shake everyone's hand, but woke up from her dream.

"Aw, man," she said. "I have to tell Kitty about the dream I had… after I start working on this paper."

"What about MK and Chloe?" you ask. Stay tuned to find out.
