In the Toon City Dave and Busters; Hunter was playing a basketball arcade game.
He tossed one ball behind his back and it fell in the hoop.
The game lit up.
"Excellent!" the Game said.
Hunter tossed another ball in the hoop.
"Awesome, you're really good at this." the game said.
Hunter looked at the card reader and saw the number 500 inside a ticket icon.
"Oooh, five hundred tickets, nice." said Hunter.
He walked off to play another game and passed a game called Fishbowl Frenzy that Roger and Ripper were at and Roger had a blindfold on over his eyes and his hand was on the button.
"Dude, there's no way you'll be able to get the 350 bowl on this game with your eyes covered, it's basically a game of chance and luck." said Ripper.
"Yes there is Ripper my man, I can do it." exclaimed Roger.
He swiped his card in the card reader and the game started.
Roger waited a bit before pressing the button and a ball started going down and hitting several pegs before landing in the bowl that said 350 and went off revealing words saying You Won 350 tickets as Axel appeared.
"I'm basically playing a more modern version of Plinko." Roger said as he took off his blindfold.
Axel smirked.
"That is really impressive." Said Axel.
"Yeah, I've got a plaque in this arcade." Said Roger.
He pointed to a framed plaque on a wall with a picture of himself smiling with the words 'Roger Meerkat, the best Plinko like arcade game player' on in.
Ripper became confused.
"This place will give a plaque to anyone?" Said Ripper.
Roger pointed to a Speed of Light game and next to it was a framed plaque that had a picture of Sonic on it and it said 'Sonic the Hedgehog, fastest record of playing Speed of Light'.
"Point five second record." Said Roger.
"Sure beats those games where you spin a wheel just to get tickets." said Axel.
"Eh, I still get the jackpot in those games." said Roger.
The three noticed a Pirate's Treasure Quest game and Roger swiped his card in the card reader before spinning the wheel.
He grinned and zapped a tiny lightning bolt in a plug in outlet and it traveled to the same arcade game before slowing the game down and stopped at the 2000 space.
"See what I mean?" said Roger.
Then some cheering sounds were heard, shocking the two and they turned to see a teenage girl at a redemption Stacker game having gotten to the top of the board.
The girl looked like Julia, but wearing a brown zipped up jacket, blue jeans, and black sandals.
"Boy, bragging rights." said Axel.
Ripper became confused.
"She looks strangley familiar, where do I know her from?" said Ripper.
Interview Gag
"If that person turns out to be an old flame of Ripper's, I'll laugh my own ass off. Considering what kind of person Ripper was before he even competed on Total Drama, he wouldn't be the ideal person to have as a boyfriend." said Roger.
End Interview Gag
Ripper did some thinking as Hunter appeared.
He saw the girl.
"Who is this girl?" said Hunter.
The gir turned to the group and looked at Ripper.
"Ripper, Ripper, Ripper, Ripper, never thought I'd see you again." said the girl.
Ripper snapped his fingers.
"Now I remember, she sat three desks behind me in history class." said Ripper.
The girl nodded.
"Yes I did." said the girl.
"Let me guess, your first crush was on her." said Axel.
Ripper scoffed.
"As if." said Ripper.
"I was the one crushing on Ripper, or my name isn't Meradith, or just Mary." the girl known as Mary said.
Everyone was shocked.
"Hold up, you're telling me that you were attracted to Ripper?" said Axel.
"Yes." said the girl.
"The very person here with us right now?" said Hunter.
"Exactly." said Mary.
"The same Ripper who was on Total Drama Island's reboot for two seasons so far?" said Roger.
"Before he even auditioned." said Mary.
Roger and Hunter looked at each other before bursting out laughing like crazy.
Mary became confused and looked at Ripper who just shrugged it off.
The two male teens stopped laughing and pulled out their phones before sending text messages detailing what they just learned.
They then got different replies that were audio recordings of laughter before the two themselves resumed laughing.
"What, what, what's so funny?" said Mary.
Roger and Hunter stopped laughing and sighed.
"Oh lady, you must have been dropped on your head more times as a baby then Ripper and his brothers combined." said Hunter.
"If you even saw the first season of the shows reboot, you'd realize that Ripper wasn't the ideal boyfriend, much less anyone any sane parent would want their sons or daughters hanging out with." said Roger.
Hunter chuckled.
"Yeah, this one time, he used one of his teammates as a human shield just to get a skull for a challenge." said Hunter.
"There was also the time he put some pillows from another teammate in his pants to muffle his own farts from a somehow still living velociraptor." said Roger.
"He even talked a friend he made on the show to dress up as a cassowary and flirt with another cassowary just to steal an egg for himself." said Hunter.
"And to top all that off, he ate a fucking long ass tape worm in the hopes of kissing another girl on the show by way of Lady and the Tramp." said Roger.
Ripper glared at the two.
"Don't remind me of that!" He said.
Axel sighed.
"And people think I'm gross for my Jabba the Hutt like table manners." said Axel.
Hunter looked at Axel.
"You're one to talk drill seargent nasty. You knocked Ripper off a boat before a challenge even began just because he was getting on your nerves." said Hunter, "Who does that on a Survivor ripoff?"
"Apparently Axel does, and she wound up getting with Ripper even after bullying him through most of season 2 when he was actually putting in an effort at being a friend." said Roger.
"Oh snap." Said the basketball arcade game.
Everyone looked at the game.
"That was perfectly timed." Said Hunter.
"ORDER FOR ONE ROGER MEERKAT, HUNTER NOCEDA, AND RIPPER READY!" a voice from the restaurant part of the arcade.
"Well, time to eat." Said Ripper.
He, Roger, and Hunter walked off, leaving Axel and Mary behind.
"Well time sure does fly." Said Mary.
"You have no idea." Said Axel.
The two chuckled only for Mary to grab Axel by the neck and held her down to eye level angrily.
"Okay I'm going to level with you, I don't know who you think you are taking Ripper away from me, but I called dibs on him long before you came around." Said Mary.
Axel became shocked by this and she became uncharacteristically scared by this.
"He's the one who came onto me." Said Axel.
"Spare me the details, I'm proposing a little wager right here, right now, one game in this arcade, one round to see who can rack up more points and/or tickets, the winner gets to lay claim to Ripper for good. Deal?" Said Mary.
Axel nodded.
"Deal!" She said.
Mary smiled.
"Good, but first, I need to use the ladies room and get something to eat, I'll need the energy to kick your butt!" She said and left.
Axel gulped is shocked.
"That's Crazy!" Said the basketball arcade game.
Axel looked at the game.
"What do you know, you're an arcade game." Said Axel.
Axel then walked off.
The Game sighed.
"Play again?" said the game.
