Ripped Skirt: A parody of Ripped Pants from SpongeBob SquarePants with Total Drama characters.
Disclaimer for the series: Some (though far from all) chapters will contain moments of nudity or underwear due to the canon SpongeBob episodes' plots and gags, though it won't be anything that wouldn't happen in TD or SpongeBob. Credits to another user on FF for letting us use their idea, and another for their cast idea who wishes to remain anonymous. Some episodes may also take massive strays from canon in order for things to work. Feel free to leave a review, follow, or favorite if you enjoy it!
"Isn't the beach fun?" Ella questioned Sammy as the two were making a sand castle. "It's a wonderful day for it!" She beamed.
"Yeah, it definitely is." Sammy smiled back, focused completely on her girlfriend's beauty.
Being on the beach, the two of them were sporting swimsuits - for Sammy, a red, modest one-piece, and for Ella, a mermaid-style one. The singer had an orange top that looked like seashells on her breast, with a wire connecting it around her back for additional support. She wore a pink swim skirt below, and underneath even that was a pair of her everyday panties for extra modesty.
"You know how princesses are with their castles!" Ella reminded her, putting the finishing touches on it. "And with her own princess, the castle is twice as fun to live in!" She hugged Sammy, making her blush.
"Y-you sure are sanding a lot of love my way!" Sammy joked back. "But I appreciate it, of course."
"Aha, sand!" Ella laughed. "But I'll keep doing it, all for you!" She kissed Sammy on the cheek, causing a giggle.
"Shell we continue with our date?" Sammy asked, exiting the embrace and picking up a seashell.
"Wonderful idea! Perhaps we could try to lift weights together! I may not be all that strong, but I know you are, and perhaps you could help me!"
Ella then held Sammy's hand as she almost dragged the blonde over to an area with some strong looking people, and many types of weights.
"Ooh, okay, I see! Let me try next then!" Ella excitedly volunteered. A branch that had made its way onto the sand was lying there, which Ella tried to lift with all her might. With a few grunts of effort, she managed to triumphantly pull it over her head. "Hooray! I did it!"
No one seemed to give praise to the princess's accomplishment. The most she got was an awkward, embarrassed smile from Sammy her way. Ella's feet sunk into the sand as she frowned slightly.
As the girl with smooth black hair, a black one-piece, and a beige sun hat and Sammy kept lifting weights, Ella walked over to a man roasting marshmallows. "My apologies for bothering you, but may I use two of these, please?"
The man simply nodded his head. Ella thanked him, grabbed the marshmallows, ran back to the area, and put the marshmallows on the stick. She then tried once more to lift the weight, pulling and pulling with all the might her princess arms had. It didn't seem to be enough.
Ella thought about what she would do if she saw someone struggling to do something they were struggling with. Well, I would tell them to keep trying, of course! Everyone can do anything if they put their mind to it. With her own self-encouragement putting in some work, she tried one final time… And only resulted in a loud rip that everyone nearby could hear.
Puzzled, the singer looked at her behind and saw her underwear revealed in the middle of her swim skirt. The crowd nearby was all silent. That was the case until a few seconds went by, and they all erupted into laughter. Even Sammy was laughing nearby at seeing this unfold, although the amusement was clearly a lesser factor, though not absent. She seemed more nervous for her girlfriend.
The singer's face slowly filled with red as everyone laughed. "Oh, goodness! I didn't- My, sorry, everyone!" Ella covered the newly-revealed area up with both hands and tried to awkwardly leave the scene.
However, a man stopped her in her tracks. "Nothing to apologize for, dude!" He playfully slaps the princess on the back. "You are hilarious!"
"I-isn't she so cute with her jokes?" Sammy added, trying to help play this off.
"Aww, Sammy!" Ella responded as she gave her girlfriend a hug, now having an idea. As long as people think something is funny, then there's no harm in making herself the butt of the joke.
The scene then cut to Ella and a few other beachgoers in a volleyball match, with the others volleying the ball back and forth a few times. Eventually, it went near Ella.
"Oh, here, let me try!" She exclaimed.
Ella then had a thought as the ball came towards her. If she was able to make people laugh by ripping her skirt accidentally, then maybe she would be able to do it again by doing so purposefully! She allowed the ball to collide with her and let the other team score.
"Oh, my!" The songbird exclaimed before brushing her face off.
"A-are… you okay?" Sammy questioned.
"I'm alright!" She got back off of the ground and reached for the ball, splitting her legs a little too far apart on purpose, making her skirt tear. "But it 'seams' my skirt isn't!"
Everyone around her laughed once again, with the one who complimented her being the loudest of all.. Once again, he slapped her on the back. "Once again, dude, you have split my sides!" He complimented.
Ella beamed with her eyes closed. "Thank you!"
The scene then cut to the singer, her girlfriend, and a few others playing a game of frisbee. The girl from before passed it over to the twin, causing the princess to jump up and down.
"Ooh, toss it to me, Sammy!" She requested, and Sammy eagerly did so. Ella caught it. "Back to you, friend!" She began to aim at one of the other players and took a big step forward, causing another tearing sound. This one was a genuine accident, causing her to blush, but she played it off like it wasn't. "Oh, I-I suppose I ripped my skirt again!"
People started laughing once again, and the same man from before came up a third time. "You've still got it, dude!"
Even Sammy was struggling to keep her laughter in now. Through the contagious laughter, she grabbed Ella's hand. "H-here, let me take you to get some ice cream."
The two walked away from the game and over to a nearby ice cream stand.
"Hello!" May I order a banana split, please?" The songbird asked.
"Uh, we don't have that." The vendor responded.
"That's alright! I've already split my skirt." The vendor rolled his eyes while Sammy smiled and shook her head.
Ella then skipped over to a refreshments stand. Next to her, someone was eating a hot dog. Ella then realized her chance.
"Ah, a hot dog! I haven't eaten too many myself, but I hear they're just splendid this time of year!"
The man looked at her, pausing with a bottle of mustard in his hand. He didn't respond, however, merely looking disinterested at best and confused at worst.
"Be careful with certain condiments, though! Some are so spicy that they'll make you 'tear' up!" She continued, splitting her skirt as she finished her joke. She giggled to herself while she skipped away, leaving the man as he groaned in the background.
Ella then put herself on some rocks, lying on them like a beached seal, as she began another joke.
"Oh dear, I'm trapped on these rocks." Ella prepared to split her skirt. "I sure hope I don't-" She soon was knocked off the rock by a wave, stopping her joke before it happened. She washed up on the shore, face-down.
"Huh, that's weird, fish that big don't end up on the beach. Oh, that's a lady!" The Lifeguard noticed.
A crowd gathered around the lifeguard and Ella, as murmurs of concern were heard between many people.
"Yo, are you alright?" The Lifeguard asked. Despite the accent, he seemed very concerned over the situation.
"May you come a bit closer, please?" Ella whispered. He did as asked.
"I need… I need…"
Ella then ripped her skirt, which was completely gone from her swimsuit and left her only in her panties below. Continuing her original joke, she tried to make everyone laugh once more after the accidental annoyances. "Oh, my, a new skirt, it seems!"
The lifeguard's face fell flat as everyone around began to boo the singer for her poorly timed joke. He dropped the princess onto the ground as lots of heckling was thrown her way. Everyone began to leave at once, giving annoyed comments and grumbles on their way. Sammy was the final one to remain, and she hesitantly stood there after all the others departed.
"Ella…" She muttered, finding it hard to look at her girlfriend. Regret evident on her face, she turned and walked away, leaving Ella alone.
"I just think that… perhaps this was the biggest mistake ever made on this beach." Ella told the empty air. "Is there any way to fix things?"
Ella idly looked around for anything that might help her in this situation. The tattered skirt on the ground, the waves crashing behind her, and all the sand. Her eyes soon landed on a stage, causing her to gasp. She was going to vent her emotions and fix her emotions the best way she knew how: by singing.
Climbing aboard the stage, she recollects the day. "I suppose it all began once I…" Even though no one was present, Ella split her underwear, now for theatrics rather than comedy. "Ripped my skirt."
"I felt like everyone was on my side, but I made everyone change their minds. And now I've made even Sammy hurt, all because I-" Ella turned to rip her panties again, with her top ripping a bit too from the force. "-ripped my skirt."
"It all started with me trying to be a clown, but instead, I made people frown." She began to sing properly rather than speak at this point.
A small crowd of people came up to the stage, now interested in what Ella had to say..
"And now I feel I can't even flirt, all because I-" The singer turned to rip her clothing again. "-ripped my skirt."
"And because of that I understand, my jokes ended up getting much too out of hand."
"Now I've learned something I won't forget! Be true to yourself; don't treat yourself like dirt, and you won't end up like the girl who ripped… her… skirt!" The princess split her underwear one final time as she finished singing. By this point, the crowd had increased in size by over tenfold.
As Ella finished singing the last line of her song, the crowd burst into cheers and applause, forgiving her for her earlier silliness. Before the singer could react, she heard a familiar voice yelling from her right as she ran onstage.
"Ella!" Sammy exclaimed, being unable to help herself from hugging her lover.
The singer gasped in excitement and hugged back instantly. "Sammy!"
The twin seemed a little hesitant to speak more, but she did anyway. "Your song is true, y'know? You can just act like yourself, and I'll still love you."
"Aww! I'll always love you too." The crowd let out their own "aww"s, so Ella backed out of the hug and stepped towards the audience. "Thank you, everyone!" She waved as she called out.
Fulfilling her tradition, the princess went to take a bow as a farewell, but her remaining, tattered clothing wasn't being held together very well from being torn throughout her song. Her bikini top and underpants simply couldn't handle the strain as she bowed, causing them to rip off the singer's body and slowly drift onto the stage.
She blushed in embarrassment, covered her breast and crotch with her hands, and sheepishly smiled at the audience, who was now laughing amidst their cheers. Sammy looked shocked and twice as embarrassed as Ella, while someone tossed a rose between Ella's feet.
A/N: This episode changed to be more like canon as, the more that I thought about it, the more I realized that Ella pretty much fit the plot perfectly. I think she'd be willing to make people laugh, knowing that it works, and just be a little naive about it all. She's not perfect - no one truly is.
I also know that she wasn't naked in the original SpongElla chapter, at least not fully, but yeah, you know the drill. It was more canon here. She'd be theatrical with ripping her underwear, and I'll just assume that the top just became part of Ella's performance as a result. The nudity also felt less warranted in the original SpongElla chapter because Ella didn't do much wrong. She ended up apologizing for a bunch of accidents, but here, it's a genuine mistake.
Also, yes, Sammy still wears the pants in the relationship. :)
