Author's note:
Well I planned to write this interlude while I'm focusing more on the other fanfics. This one was done longer than the others, so my focus on this fanfic still will be slow, but at least I want you guys be happy so here is my answer to all your reviews.
MatiasND Tell me about it, all his decisions will come back to karma later.
Brazilianotaku Nice to see you back dude, well to explain... Imagina BBB 22 até BBB 24, you will understand that even if the team would become big and almost overpower... You never can expect the unpredictable things... so I want to explore that to develop all the characters. I hope you like this chapter.
duskrider Thank you for your review, and trust me, there is a lot of things on how his friends will reacts towards his stories and ideas.
BrightNova169 I'm glad you liked the chapter, and while I will be slower on this fanfic than most of the others, doing slight breaks will help my mind, so I hope you like this chapter. Also if you want to know the references, you can watch Flapjack, Dodgeball the Underdog story... City of God (which is Eva used one reference on there.), Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dragon Ball Z abridged, The Godfather 1 ... And trust me, the bear was terrified into hearing how a person soaked in pee would shout like a banshee... it was a red flag... And I agreed the contrast was clear, while one showed a good development... the other by it's own ignorance doesn't understand the consequences of his own actions... I hope you like this chapter because it's going to be interesting.
Wolfang21 Glad to see your review, and I agreed... Heather managed to save herself from being the most hated, by now becoming a Tsundere in the eyes of the others... Hahaha, the grey power already overtook her.
Slayer76 Quoting Spongebob "HOW MANY TIMES WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU A LESSON OLD MAN." That's how the Killer Bass are feeling right now.
Alright, I replied to much. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. And have a great time to wait for my other fanfics. See you later. XD And have a nice reading.
(Main Lodge - Kitchen)
In the middle of the night, Chef was preparing the MRE for the next morning... To even kill the food who dared to pick a fight with him.
Using his grill to hear the painful screams of the food was music to his ears... He doesn't know why the food acts in such a way, but he finds fun when he does that...
Being on the terrible job of doing most of the food and hearing complaints from the brats, and even being a test subject of the sadic friend he has... He sometimes thinks that his friend is being too unfair to him...
Then suddenly a loud sound of the telephone was ringing in the kitchen which he immediately picked up.
"Hatchet speaking," Chef said loudly as then at the next moment his eyes went wide open. "Are you serious?... They want me to do what?... Does Chris know that?... He doesn't know? Why? ... Oh, ohhhhhhh... Yeah, this is going to be fun... I accept the challenge... I will find 2 contestants that would be my bet on the next season... I have a former protege in mind so I think she would be my best bet. Thank you so much for the opportunity."
And at the time Chef turned off the telephone, he sighed happily with the newest opportunity in his hands... A bet to see who would be the winner in the next season... And if the people he chooses win the game... He would receive a huge raise in his salary and even a promotion for the future seasons of the show...
He doesn't know what the producers are planning. But he isn't going to waste the opportunity he has on his hands... all he has to do it's to convince Izzy and one more member to work for his victory...
It seems the future is looking bright for the Military Chef Hatchet...
(Killer Bass)
Inside the Killer Bass cabin, there wasn't anything the group could say in such a situation, since Ezekiel's prediction was correct, and Katie passed the last few hours with her boyfriend before the elimination...
Seeing Trent, Owen and the trio of bees coming back means that the worst outcome happened... Katie ran towards her own bed to cry for such fate...
Bridgette and Courtney sat nearby to stay for the girl who lost another person in the game... and this one hurt the same way as the nerd who was sitting on the stairs in front of the cabin...
Gwen went inside the cabin at the time the Screaming Gophers returned... Knowing that the cheerful and optimistic boy from their team wasn't returning with them. With her diary in her hands, she knew what she was about to write.
The boys from Killer Bass were also helping by being supportive of Katie who was still crying for her boyfriend...
Ezekiel sat on the stairs, seeing the nerd who was still in thought about what was happening...
"First Leshawna, now Cody..." Ezekiel murmured as he looked to his side... "I wonder if in a few days, Owen would be next..."
Harold sniffed as he himself wondered about the number of victories the Killer Bass has... Showing that every victory for their team would also mean saying goodbye to someone from the other team...
The duo remained quiet... Suddenly a door from the female cabin of the Screaming Gopher side was opened... And from all the members to appear at that moment...Heather approached their direction...
Harold was about to say something rude but Ezekiel got up from the stairs and opened the door...
"Guys, Heather is here..." These 4 words were enough to make the whole group get up and remain alert... Except for Katie who was still crying with the pillow in her face.
"You have a lot of nerve to come here after the elimination, Heather," Duncan said as he already could see the person who Heather is but nobody from the Killer Bass would ever be prepared for what she was going to say.
"Oh shove it, metalhead... Who cares if I use Lindsay and Beth's votes to eliminate someone from the team? If I remain on the show, everything is fair... And I'm not the only one who did that." Heather raised her hand to see her fingernails, and with a sideglance, she looked at the girl on the bed. "I'm just here to tell Chris now surprised everyone by telling the difference of votes... Can you guess with how many votes the little Cody got to go home?"
The team narrowed their eyes, as Courtney scoffed in disbelief.
"What does even matter, since you already have 3 votes to whoever you want out, and you find a way to intimidate Owen or bribe him to vote as well... So who cares if Cody was out by 4 to 2?" Courtney commented as she wasn't in the mood to deal with the annoying brat girl at that moment.
"Well, then Trent didn't get the memo since I didn't ask him or even talk to him to vote Cody out..." Heather waited for that opportunity to give the expose...and from the look of all the faces of the Killer Bass, the Queen Bee managed to accomplish what she was aiming for. "5 votes against 1, I didn't know they stopped being friends... Since they were a bit close at the start of the show."
Bridgette was about to call Heather for her lying, but suddenly the girl who was crying on the bed, rose up, with her eyes red and tears ruining her maskara...
"He did WHAT?" The tan twin shouted as she stomped in the direction of the door, but suddenly was caught by Courtney and DJ. "LET ME KILL HIM, LET ME KILL HIM"
Heather smiled as she slowly got away from the Killer Bass cabin, with the fuse blowing up... She can be safe for another 2 challenges which could be possible for the merge to happen. And there isn't a lie in what she said. She spoke the truth, and she was grateful to Trent for using himself as her meat shield.
"Wow, never thought someone would have the courage to backstab a friend like that at this point of the competition," Sky commented as she could see how betrayed Cody felt when Trent also voted for Cody and with that eliminated from the program...
"You tell me. I have to say, for someone who received a Godfather execution... Trent is courageous to continue competing." The big sister sat near the sofa as she brought some snacks for them to see how Katie would deal with the news... "I feel sorry for Katie... Cody wasn't supposed to be eliminated like that."
"The problem is that Heather already has 4 votes to whoever she wants to vote," Sky commented, which implied her opinion. "I think Chris went too far by explaining it was 5 votes against 1..."
"It was for to create drama... Also, I think Cody deserved to know that Screaming Gophers are backstabers... I can't wait to see the pretty boy get what he deserves." The older sister answered as she took a few chips and munched... "Heather has now control of Screaming Gophers. 3 votes against 2. I think Owen will be next on the elimination table."
"I hope not. Owen doesn't have to be eliminated like that." Sky said as she looked at the channel with the charismatic boy on the show.
"Would you say that after you stumble on his pee jar and soak yourself with it?" The big sister snarked but even after that quote... The duo of girls remembered the time Heather got herself in such a terrible situation... And they shrived in fear.
"Okay, I know Heather is a bitch, but not even her deserved to be soaked in his pee..." Sky said, imagining herself like that would give her nightmares.
"Do like me and blame the curse Beth brought to the island... Because there is no way in hell if that wasn't the curse" The sister commented which Sky agreed.
"I suppose so... I hope Beth doesn't suffer much backlash the moment they find out they were cursed because of her." The Asian sisters remained on their sofa... Having a few snacks and watching Katie receiving such bad news...
Neither of them liked to see Katie losing another person she liked in such a way...
"Do you think she will say Condor?" Sky asked and her sister just shrugged... "She is on there without her sister and she already gave some help to their team... But I think after Cody's departure she can break any second and give up on the challenge..."
"She might do that... But there is... Wait, isn't that Heather? Why she is walking on the Killer Bass cabin?" The big sister was amused until she watched the queen bee going to the Killer Bass cabin... Changing the channel until the duo stared at Heather... "Wait... She is not..."
"He did WHAT?" Then the screech came the tan twin and in the next second the duo of sisters watched the group of girls and even some of the boys trying to hold the tan twin with her eyes burning with hatred. "LET ME KILL HIM, LET ME KILL HIM"
...
"Sky..." The bog sister commented as the aspirant Olympic athlete turned her head... "Please tell me that Heather didn't just sell out Trent betrayed Cody..."
"She just did..." Sky commented as the duo remained quiet... Until... "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, DEAD MAN WALKING"
The sisters laughed as they never thought Heather would be so quick to actually tell what happened to Cody.
"Okay, little by little Heather is becoming my top 5, she really knows how to adapt and how to make the game go in her favor." The sister had to give credit when is due... "Heather is resilient, and she may be on the final three..."
"That if the Killer Bass didn't eliminate them first... So when do you think the merge will happen?" Sky said as she grabbed a soda...
"Probably after more 2 or 3 challenges... It would be fun to see Screaming Gophers lose all three because of the curse...But I think Beth will tell Heather at some point." The sister replied as they giggled. "I know Heather it's a tsundere for both Beth and Lindsay, it's so funny to see it..."
"Yeah, it kinda sucks that at some point they are going to break... Depending on how Heather will react to Beth cursing everyone will determine if their friendship will survive." Sky replied as now they saw Katie shouting and crying while all the Killer Bass went there to console her and try to make her calm... However, at that moment she saw the familiar green hat boy walking towards the Screaming Gopher cabin... "Wait, now is Ezekiel who is walking towards the other team's cabin..."
"What is he planning to do?" The sister asked, since now the duo got on the edge of their seats...
(Screaming Gopher - Girl's Cabin)
"Done, now I have a few days and a few challenges without a target on my back," Heather said satisfied as she went back to her own bed, and saw both Beth and Lindsay already doing makeup for their time to sleep on the show. "I hope you both let something for me too."
"Yes, we did," Beth answered, pointing at the products above her table.
"Good, now we can relax after such catastrophic defeat. We just need to survive a few more challenges before the merge happens." Heather decided to explain her plan to both her allies, but at the time she was about to explain the details, someone knocked on the door.
*knock*knock*knock*knock*
Heather frowned her eyes, and with slow steps, she walked towards the door... At the time she opened, she was surprised to see Ezekiel walking in without any permission.
"Okay, which one of you took something from Boney Island?" Ezekiel said loudly which made the trio of girls freeze in the places... especially the farm girl who was wearing glasses at that moment.
"What the hell are you talking about, weirdo?" Heather glared at the homeschooled boy, but he replied with the same glare...
"You came to our cabin telling important information about the betrayal, so to repay that I'm going to explain to you, all the signals of the bathroom being destroyed, the beds breaking on the Screamin Gophers' side, and even you who just managed to have the first golden shower of the show..." At the time Ezekiel said the two words, Heather wanted to strangle the boy in front of her, but she was interrupted. "These are the facts that something is way off... this isn't a simple accident... someone cursed your cabin. This is the only thing I will tell you, as your payment for telling the truth."
Beth palled, as Heather raised her eyebrows in surprise, and Lindsay looked terrified.
"If there isn't anything else you are going to say, then you may l..." Heather was pushing the green hat boy in the direction of the door...
"WAIT," Suddenly a shout was enough to interrupt Heather and Ezekiel... Beth took something under from her pillow and then showed it to both of them... Ezekiel narrowed his eyes while Heather had her eyes wide open. "Do you mean that this thing has made us lose all the challenges until now?"
"I don't know, I'm stating the facts of your beds needing more maintenance, and the shower being broken twice after tonight... I don't know who used it after you guys came back from the challenge, but one of you used the shower again and it broke once again." Ezekiel said as he pointed at the tiki. He knew the idea of exposing such a secret before the next challenge would have been a terrible idea... But since Heather decided to not hide information from his team... he decided to pay the favor. "So you brought the curse upon your team, now my job is done. This is a payment for you exposing Trent. From how you are going to free yourself from the curse, it's not my job to tell you."
"WAIT..." At the time Ezekiel was about to leave, Heather held his shoulder, making him stop... "You said like you know how to lift the curse..."
"I do..." Ezekiel replied shortly, as he took his shoulder from the Korean hands. And at the time she was about to scoff Ezekiel continued. "If you think just placing the Tiki back on the island, you are terribly wrong... There are a few other steps that you should do before the curse is lifted."
"Such as?" Heather asked as she raised her eyebrows...
"You took something from the island... you should give something personal as a repayment for doing that." Ezekiel explained the logic, knowing that sometimes doing the opposite would be the only way to fix the mistakes you have made. "Create an altar as a way to pay tributes for the haunted island... such things like that. In the Hawaiian curse, you had to dance the Hula around the altar... But we are not talking about Hawaii. But Boney Island."
Heather remained quiet, as the idea of going back to that cursed Island made her spine shrive, not in a good way... She glanced at Beth who was trembling and even with some tears in her eyes.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know... I didn't know..." Beth cried as she looked at the Tiki who became the unlucky charm bringing the despair over the Screaming Gophers, and Lindsay stepped away from Beth, but with a sad expression on her face...
"What are we going to do?" Lindsay said as she could see her friend Beth was getting despaired... And Heather was biting her lips in conflict with what she was about to do...
"Ah, screw it" Heather then decided to do something she knew that she would regret later. "What do you want?"
Ezekiel stopped... and looking in the faces of Beth, Lindsay, and even Heather... he discovered that they were indeed willing to do anything to lift the curse...
"..." Ezekiel remained quiet, and then with a thought of his mind... he concluded. "I want one more favor from you, and one favor by each of you two."
Heather's eyes went wide open... knowing that somehow accumulating favors to the boy in front of her sounded too easy to be true... it sounded way too fishy...
"Okay." Lindsay was the first person to agree which Heather facepalmed...
"It sounds fair. I'm in." Beth smiled and once again Heather was on the verge of beating her face into the wall...
And now Ezekiel looked up, to see the queen bee now having a thought spot and what would be her decision... but looking at Lindsay and Beth already agreeing without knowing him, she was trapped... again...
"Fine, you won... I owe you 2 favors." Heather admitted she couldn't win... she was against someone who had more pieces than her...
"Good..." Ezekiel nodded his head, and with his eyes looking sharp he decided to explain the details. "We will depart in 3 days."
"3 days?" Heather asked and then narrowed her eyes in anger. "Why we can't go sooner?"
"There is no way Chris would allow us to get out from the island without the crew preparing the cameras around Boney Island again... for the sake of the entertainment, he would record everything, even our almost death on the haunted island. So the only way was to make sure he knew that we were going to the island, while he did the challenge... " Ezekiel pointed out some facts. Since he knows that some episodes of Total Drama wouldn't waste such an opportunity. "That way it would be a recording of two videos for one episode."
Heather had her eyes wide open, as Ezekiel knew the ins and outs of how the show was made... which also gave a very logical reason for how the boy was aware of everything around the game...
"So that means that we are just going when Chris has the team of cameras and people recording us going to undo the curse?" Heather repeated as the boy summarized which she hated to admit, but it sounded exactly the conditions on how Chris would allow them to rid the curse... "Fine, 3 days..."
"Good... Now, let's this be the last time we have a conversation like that Heather... Don't look for my team or me like that ever again. I mean it." Ezekiel narrowed his eyes before closing the door slowly... and at the time the queen bee saw the boy leaving the cabin...
She sat with her hands on her face.
"*beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*" Heather cursed, as she thought she was safe from the target on her back... but now she regretted ever opening her mouth at the time she visited the Killer Bass... Now she is in debt of Ezekiel twice... and with Beth looking nervous, the same way Lindsay...
She was afraid for her friends...
(?)
The travel around the sea was something the geek boy wasn't very interested to be engaged with… Since at the time, he left the island… Cody didn't turn his head off… looking at the island for what would have been the greatest time he passed there… The girl who actually saw for what he is… The tanned skin that made him enjoy a good time on the beach, the cheerful smile that made him wake up from his sleep with the optimism of the day…
And the first kiss that he had with her… even if was something that it would be in the show… it was something that he would cherish in his memories. And now after leaving the show, he couldn't help but miss her… every single minute of it.
With now the idea of going home, back to the mansion where he would be with his parents… at least he would say to the students of his class, that the journey and adventure he had on the reality show, has been one thing that he would treasure for the rest of his life.
The time he passes, as a few hours would have been enough for him to land on the shore… But suddenly… the trip looked to be far too short in comparison to the last time he came… He didn't remember that it was that quick…
"We are here." The voice of the captain said as the geek boy took his luggage and turned his head off… And instead of being a dock from where he got in the first place… it was different… It was a paradise island. "Welcome to Playa de Losers. Where all the eliminated contestants are transported for the rest of the episodes."
"Wait… this will be the place I'm going to be? I thought we would go home." Cody asked in surprise, as he saw the captain dropping his bagages on the docks, and pointing at the beach which looked a bit more paradise than the camp he was living in…
"Yep. Have fun with the other contestants." The captain said, but not before kicking the but of Cody and dropping the geek into the beach in the middle of the night.
"Ughhhh…" Cody groaned as his cheeks seemed to be in pain from the rude captain… "Creatine…"
Cody took a time to look around, and see that it was indeed beautiful, a spot in the sand, in the middle of the night with all the stars in the sky… The word paradise would have been described better than the word playa de losers. This should have been the hotel 5 stars that the group must have signed the contract for.
But yet… Cody would have exchanged that to still being on the side of Katie, still trying to win the challenges, and even eating the crap food of Chef, just to be on the side of his girlfriend.
"CODY, OVER HERE." Then a shout made him snap from his thoughts, and at the time the geek turned his head, he saw something he wasn't expecting. Izzy smiled cheekily, Sadie also smiled but she looked less chubby, and in exchange, she developed little muscles around her biceps and legs… And Eva was still in the wheelchair but somehow she looked still like the same.
Cody walked towards the trio, who were waiting for him…
"Hey... Izzy?" Cody asked in surprise as he saw the ginger winking at him. "How did you manage to escape RCMP?"
"A good magician never reveals her tricks." Izzy smiled proudly at herself, as she could see the boy getting confused from her amazing escape.
"Wouldn't you be in problem if they find you here?" Cody asked worried which Izzy giggled madly.
"Oh Cody, that's the thing... I'm the problem." Izzy laughed Sadie and Eva looked at the crazy girl with their eyebrows raised, but not before staring at the Screaming Gopher boy who was still in the process of accepting his defeat.
"It's nice to see you here Cody." Sadie smiled as she went to give a hug to the boy, but the strength on her arms was enough to make him tight and almost lose his air.
"Argh... yeah, it's nice to see you too Sadie... can you release me please?" Cody tapped her arm, which made the girl stop hugging and making him get down... on the floor with his face.
"Ops, sorry... I'm still trying to get used to this." Sadie said with a sheepish smile...
"I can notice..." Cody said as he cracked the bones of his back, to make sure that his back went to the right place... "You look different."
"That's because she has been in my workout regiment since the day I came here," Eva answered for the Asian twin... and Cody suddenly stared at the gentle and cheerful Asian actually bulking a few of her muscles. "She begged me to train her at the time I got eliminated."
"Why?" Cody asked which Sadie sniffed and tried to hold her tears...
"It's because of Katie... The time I saw the bear attacking the Killer Bass, I was so afraid that something would happen to Katie... so at the time Eva came here, I wanted to be like her... I wanted to be the one who could protect my best friend." Sadie said determined, Cody smiled as Katie had said... Sisters from different mothers. "Also, I want so much to strangle Trent for what he did with you and Ezekiel."
Cody had his eyes wide open from that statement.
"I said to get in the line," Eva ordered, which Sadie sighed and gave a step away from Eva. "Tyler was the one who called dibs from the way he looked at Lindsay, you being eliminated like that, and what he did with Ezekiel and Gwen... Oh, I want so much to have 5 minutes to speak with him..."
"I don't know if I should be touched or scared from the way you said that." Cody's eyes shrank which the bodybuilder ignored... But the crazy military girl just giggled.
"Well you could touchared... or Scauched. Depends on which country you speak." Izzy snickered and Cody raised his eyebrow to her... "I saw the video of the group scaring shitless of you. And seeing Ezekiel, Duncan and Harold intimidating you was the funniest thing I watched in my life."
Cody's face palled as he could see the girls smiling cheekily at him.
"Just to be clear, I'm not going to say sorry for them. I approved what they did to you." Sadie commented as she remembered how she loved seeing the geek struggling since she always supported Katie and she knew how Cody had been annoying in the first episode... But after that, the more time he passed with Katie, the more good traits she could see in the boy, and the funnier it became to see the boys scaring shitless of him. "Also if you get my sis preg, I will be happy to castrate you personally."
Cody flinched, while Eva smiled with her teeth like showing a good sharp on it.
"Now now geek boy. I will not beat you up... Sadie will be glad into doing it..."Eva smiled as she could see the rich boy sweating. But then she gave a key to him. "Jokes are funny in due time. But I think everyone needs a good night's sleep... Here is the key to your room... The staff will help you to get there... Also... Every room has a television and recorded episodes from the show. They installed pay-per-view, so channels 40 - 45 are focused on the live cameras of the camp."
Cody stared at the bodybuilder in surprise... And quickly grabbed his key...
And one by one they left... Leaving only Izzy and Cody...
"One piece of advice Cody..." Izzy commented as she cracked her neck. "There is one abandoned room numbered 22th... It was the former room of Eva, and she destroyed it after Phobia Factor... And... I also helped it when I just watched it, in an honest view as a watcher...Trent is on the verge of committing social suicide because I saw how Ezekiel got out of the challenge... And before you ask if was that bad, you should see it."
And with that, Izzy turned her back, and left the Screaming Gopher boy alone... with the interaction he had with the girls... he couldn't help but want to see one more thing...
It didn't take long before Cody found his room, and like a well-expensed hotel, it looked fantastic, like the times his parents took him to visit some hotels in other states or countries... And with a good television and cable already in front of the bed...
Going to the channel from the pay-per-view... there isn't much he was trying to see around those channels in the middle of the night... just one little thing... The Killer Bass Female Cabin... Cody blinked, in tiredness... didn't even go to take a shower to prepare himself to sleep. He just looked at the channel, where all the girls from the Killer Bass were sleeping... even one in the corner who seemed to be whimpering and sniffing on her sleep...
Cody sniffed... But with his television on... he could hear the constant sounds of the sleeping girls... And that was enough for him to take his blankets, and before closing his eyes... just wish one last thing.
"Good night Katie... I hope to see you soon." Cody whispered before his eyes took him to the land of the dreams.
On the next morning, Cody heard the sound of a rainstorm happening on the playa de losers, the sound of the winds traveling around the trees, and even the window being attacked by the raindrops... It made him wake up wary about what was going to happen on the island. So the first thing he did was turn on the television to check the channels if the camp was having the same problems as the island he was... To his surprise and happiness, the camp seemed to be intact, as the campers looked fine to wake up to pass their time.
Cody would have smiled to see Katie's face again... but at the time he saw it on the screen, he palled... the tan twin who always would be cheerful and happy, was now with her eyes in fury and teeth grinding in anger...
"Oh God, she does know..." Cody concluded, seeing the Killer Bass walking around the Main Lodge, some were talking about the ideas of what the next challenge would be, and plans to talk about what they were going to be doing for the day... And the girls actually trying to cheer up Katie who wanted so much to kill Trent... Cody doesn't need to be a genius to understand that she is angry... like the way he thought she would be, but how she discovered it was a mystery.
*knock* *knock* *knock *
"Cody, are you there sweetheart?" Then a familiar voice was enough to make the geekster turn his head and go to his door. It didn't take long for the boy to open it and see the ghetto black girl Leshawna, the eye candy model Justin, the book smart Noah, and the crazy Military expert Izzy who were on the other side of the door. Leshawna smiled as she saw the boy after so long. "Good to see you awake. We are going to the dinner hall to have breakfast, wanna come?"
Seeing his team once again was a surprise, and since his stomach was grumbling after not eating anything since the last night... Cody smiled, and with that, he could appreciate the place, even if the rainstorm was happening outside, the service from the place could be compared to a good club that his parents go to once per year.
A good swimming pool, a clean beach, and even services like 5-star food, drinks, and even spa service for everyone who just got eliminated.
The tables around the dinner room were giant, and there was a lot of space, but from the time Cody got on there... There was a good circle around three tables near each other... The Killer Bass eliminated members who were enjoying good pancakes with everything they ever desired. It was Canadian bacon or American bacon, bacon and eggs, orange juice, and even some toast for their joy.
It was a paradise in comparison to the breakfast they got inside of the camp.
Saying that he didn't miss the good food after weeks of eating the same military food would be a lie. Sadie, Izzy, and Leshawna giggled at the time a tear dropped from the geek's eyes and from the pleasure he was having missed pancakes...
"Wow, I kinda forgot how good edible food tastes like." Cody joked, and in response, the group nodded their heads. And after such a terrible time dealing with the show, having a break like that was actually nice. And looking at everyone around, it seems that everyone was enjoying their time on the island. "So what you guys have been up to around this rain?"
"It started a few days ago, but I heard in a few days there will be a lot of sun here. So it's a good thing for us to pass the time watching television, Noah is reading a few books, Justin using the mirror, and Eva and Sadie are doing their workout, which has become a custom around here." Tyler appeared as he brought his own plate with pancakes... "Lindsay would have loved the spa service around here."
"Well, everyone around here watched all the episodes of the show?" Cody couldn't help but ask loudly, which made Noah stop reading his book and then look at the geek who was still curious.
"Yes we are, we wanted to see how long Heather would go before everything she planned would blow to her face," Noah said as he pointed at the big television around the dining hall. "We are betting on when she was going to leave, but every challenge has proved how Heather adapts around the challenges and manages to survive for another day... Which is annoying."
"Tell me about it." Leshawna snarled but then regained her composure. "I mean, that skinny white brat got me, she played well... But she deserved everything my lovely skinny man did to her... It was the best laugh I had in months."
"Yeah, to see Harold work together with Gwen was indeed a very good way to punish that Korean snob." Noah rolled his eyes but even with that, he clapped at least once for the performance.
"Well if y..." Cody was about to reply when suddenly Sadie broke the table in anger.
"WHAT A BITCH, HOW DARE SHE?" The angry shout of the chubby bulky asian twin called the attention of the whole group to jump on their seats...
"What just happened?" Cody asked as he saw his friends sighing exasperated.
"CodyLuver4Life." The former members from both Killer Bass and Screaming Gophers replied as Sadie turned off her PDA and went back to her training, angrier than ever.
"Wait, I have a fan?" Cody asked in surprise but from the look on the other competitors... It was not a good sign.
"More like a crazy fan and a hater for Katie," Leshawna explained, making the geek boy have his eyes wide open in surprise but also in terror. "She has been spamming how much she hated Katie around the blogs and even called her names for the whole time."
"What did the Wako user say this time?" Noah rolled his eyes, as he was prepared to know the possible craziness of the fans over the show.
"She called Katie a whore, saying that she must use her body to confuse Cody's mind into giving up the game..." Sadie replied, to which Noah flinched, and even Leshwana looked horrified before showing anger on her face.
"OH NO SHE DIDN'T," Leshawna said as she got up from her seat. "I'm going to the computer for a while. I need to show this brat her place."
"There she goes," Noah commented, knowing how crazy things would turn that way.
"How could someone say that to Katie? She has been so great for me, and I like so much to be on her side." Cody said as he was terrified by that.
"That's what fans and haters are for. Having them can be both a blessing and a curse. But having a crazy fan and a crazy hater is the worst of two worlds... Just to be sure I would make a restriction order against her." Noah advised as he saw Cody confused by both reactions of Leshawna and Sadie. "Leshawna took it personally when the user said that both your relationship with Katie was such as lame like Harold hooking up with Leshawna... That triggered a bitter fight between 10 users against CodyLuver4Life..."
"Wow, that user is crazy." Cody felt palled, as he knew that in the future he would need to support Katie all the time.
"Crazy isn't half of it," Justin replied as he grumbled too. "She dared to call me ugly online and tell me that I was wasting your potential of best member of the Killer Bass, and Eva just made her like Gwen because now she could be slut away from you..."
"That girl is a psycho..." Cody concluded but then he heard someone cracking their fingers.
"Oh, I hope she is..."Eva replied as she and Sadie cracked their knuckles, and with a scowl on their faces. "That way we can beat the shit out of her and claim it's self-defense."
Cody looked at Tyler, who was in silence but at the same time afraid of the outcome of everything.
"Guys, while I understand that Sierra should get her punishment in the future, let's not focus on what an internet user is saying. She is literally a user against many who support Katie. It will always be a losing fight." Izzy replied as she was happy to take the breakfast and enjoy a good time...
The people who were sitting around suddenly realized what Izzy had just said...
"Wait... You said her name is Sierra?" Cody asked Izzy who nodded her head happily.
"Yep, you may need the real name for the restriction order... And before you ask, I made a fake account and made friends with her just for the sake of knowing her personal info..." The orange-haired girl explained which made Justin and Tyler look at her like she was crazy.
"Doing that isn't illegal?" Tyler asked which made Izzy nod her head.
"Oh, it is... But she has been using fake names and passing herself as some people to call your parents to take your personal details about your life just to publish online, Cody ... So..." Izzy then told about how the crazy user has managed to take some of their secrets... Which made every one of them mad... Even Justin.
"Okay, that girl has problems, she needs therapy. Or to go to jail." Justin may have known about such things happening to people like him, but to be such extreme... He was both envied and horrified at the geek boy who was sweating a lot.
"What am I going to do?" Cody said that he could potentially be targeted by the crazy girl and how that would affect his relationship with Katie...
"And done, let's see if that psycho will learn her lesson after messing with us." Leshawna said as she cleaned the dust on her fingers..."She was so adamant the Codikins belonged to her, that I told her 100 reasons why Cody would never be with her... And the other users are making fun of her because of that."
Cody and Sadie looked at the black girl who was happy to sit back on her seat.
"Thanks, Leshawna." Cody thanked me as he could see that such a user is going to be a pain in the ass if they don't care of it quickly. So in case Courtney wins the game, he could ask his parents to hire her and even some other lawyers to help make the user stop bugging their lives.
"No problem sweet boy. She messed with us, now she needs to take the heat... And I'm surprised that she was also blaming Trent for backstabbing yah... That was something the users would defend her..." Leshawna started eating her breakfast... As the sweat flavor passed on her mouth. She looked at Cody... "I gotta say, Trent is going down into a spiral of bad decisions."
"Yeah, I know... I thought he was going to leave yesterday so I did my vote to Owen to show my support... But..." Cody got sad that the person he thought would have been his friend had decided to do that to him.
"You didn't expect him to vote in you... And to be fair, if I were him, and had such a massacre of paintball history on television... I would have accepted and voted myself out." Noah mused as he opened his book. "From all episodes, we learned the Killer Bass is pretty vindictive with their own team members, and Trent has the biggest target on his back since he messed up with one of the pillars..."
"Pillars?" Cody asked as Eva grunted before Tyler came to explain.
"Ezekiel, Courtney, and Duncan. They are the three pillars of the team since they work together as team leaders and come to decisions to help the team work better." Tyler explained as he pointed out how each of them had to come to make important decisions. "And Ezekiel had trust issues with Trent before even the challenge started... and the fact that he dropped the walkie-talkie really made him drop the ball... Courtney was very angry at the moment that he planned to be cooperative with only Gwen."
"Yeah, not one of his best moments." Cody scratched his head and remembered how much Katie was with the guitarist, especially on what he did with Geoff and Ezekiel. "Maybe I should watch the episode to be sure how terrible it went."
"Trust me, Cody. While I found it Ezekiel was a rascal for what he did to me and Harold, what happened to him was something that I wouldn't wish to even my worst enemy." Leshawna snapped her fingers as she tapped the table with her fingers. "If I was in his position, I would have beaten Trent so much that he would be wishing to go home."
"Oh come on, are you still mad at Ezekiel for giving the cake to Heather to bribe Owen?" Tyler rolled his eyes, as Eva used her wheelchair to go near the group.
"Well, not anymore. I got it that he did that because he wanted his team to win and I would be angry with Harold if he threw the challenge for my sake, but I won't lie that the little rascal deserved the punch he asked for it. He has guts, and I respect him for that. But it's an iconic scene that I will always watch when I want to see someone punched in the face." Leshawna joked, making the whole environment lighter than before. "Harold has good friends. And sometimes I wished to have the green hat boy and my skinny nerd in our team instead of dealing with the Korean queen bee."
"Well," Cody nodded his head in understanding. "Katie said Ezekiel was like glue for their team when everyone thought that their team would be torn apart... he somehow managed to make it work."
"That's because he did..." Eva and Sadie said in unison.
"To be honest, I wish to have been in the game a bit longer to show my value... but seeing how the crazy challenges come around every single time... I feared for both my team and Katie." Sadie commented as she now looked calmer than before...
"I have anger issues, but after entering the game... I thought creating friends would be an obstacle to ignore and focus on winning the game... The little green hat seemed to have looked right through me and taught me to value the others for their own skills as well. I never thought Harold would have become MVP almost as much as me. That taught me to never underestimate anyone who I can look at as a competitor." Eva replied as she looked at her own leg. "I swear that if I somehow go back to the game, I'm going to beat the shit out of that bear and then I will take all the guitarist teeth off, from what he did with my team."
The group of losers had their eyes wide open for seeing Eva showing her true anger, as her own face looked demoniac, and she wanted nothing more than revenge...
Cody gulped as he had no idea what to say at that moment. So he looked for Izzy who was making piles and piles of pancakes to enjoy her good time playing with her imagination.
And now he realized that he would be staying with them until the end of the show... how crazy his life has turned him into...
(Killer Bass - Boy's Cabin)
A few days passed until it was another time for the challenges... Ezekiel was always the first person to wake up from the boy's cabin, and looking at how the boys seemed to be sleeping most of the time... Seeing that his friends would be focusing much on the challenge of the day. He had to prepare himself for the trip he was going to make...
Seeing the floor was one thing that disgusted him and even made him facepalm... He decided to walk up towards the top bunker where Harold was sleeping peacefully.
"Harold, wake up," Ezekiel whispered, sighing pushing the need to wake up and still drownzy after the last night. "Harold, your dirty underwear is on the floor again..."
"Hum?" Harold asked as Ezekiel pointed at the floor, and slowly woke up... and the first reply he would have was having his eyes wide open in panic. "It's not mine..."
Ezekiel facepalmed, and was about to explain, until suddenly Duncan woke up to do his own matinal workout. Doing push-ups to keep his body still in shape. Duncan didn't seem to notice at first…until he sniffed and his eyes shot open at the rank smell his nose detected and saw a pair of Harold's dirty underwear right below his face.
"UGH!" Duncan gagged loudly as he backed away from the pair of underwear.
This caused the other guys to wake up with DJ and Geoff laughing and Harold simply winced at looking at Duncan who found out about his underwear as well.
"Not cool, Harold man!" Duncan yelled while glaring and pointing at Harold for leaving his dirty clothes on the cabin floor…again. "Not cool!"
"Those aren't mine." Harold denied as Duncan stood up.
"Oh right!" Duncan continued to yell as DJ and Geoff got up from bed. The delinquent was starting to get sick and tired of Harold always leaving his dirty stuff on the cabin floor. "You're always leaving your gitch lying around!"
"No, I'm not!" Harold yelled back as he crossed his arms. "Gosh!"
"Uh, yeah you are, dude." Geoff backed Duncan up as he and DJ walked next to the delinquent.
"You have like, absolutely no proof," Harold claimed as he got up and pointed at the three guys in front of him.
And at the time anyone was to reply, Ezekiel decided to make it the end of it.
"ENOUGH," Ezekiel shouted which made everyone stop arguing. And with his fingers pinching between his eyes... He gave a deep sigh before telling Harold. "Harold we are on live television, if someone saw you doing that, that's proof enough that they will expose you... and if people on television saw that, Leshanwa also could have seen that."
And using Leshawna's name, everybody in the cabin knows that the nerd would tremble in fear of her knowing that.
"If Leshawna finds out that you have a costume into letting your dirty clothing in the floor, she would be *beep*, so I want you to be honest with me... do you know how to do laundry?" Ezekiel asked and cut Harold before he replied. "It's not shameful to admit you don't know, if you have problems not knowing we can teach you how to do it right."
"Pff, I know..." Harold scoffed but then Ezekiel, Duncan, DJ, and Geoff glared at the nerd who immediately dropped his act. "Okay, okay, usually is my mom who would come to my room and take my clothing..."
"Well, she is a saint," Duncan said as he crossed his arms... And Harold was a bit offended, but he was complimenting his mom, so it wasn't that bad. "Okay, I will let that pass, if you have problems with the basics of cleaning your underwear. You can take it to the shower, use the soap, and pass on the dirty area, you can take your shower while you clean this *beep* at the same time."
"Just like that?" Harold asked as he raised his eyebrows, not knowing that it was that simple.
"Well, it's for extreme cases, Momma said to always use the most practical way to do the laundry, but the way Duncan taught is the more efficient in the short run, but it will mess up your underwear in the long run," DJ replied as he himself has some dirty clothing on him. "Tomorrow I'm going to clean up my shirts and pants... I can teach you how to do the laundry. But I recommend you do what Duncan said because it looks disgusting."
Harold nodded his head and got up to take the dirty clothes...
"Okay, thanks, guys. Sorry about that." Harold apologized to the group who seemed to be relieved to take out the bad habit of the nerd who refused to admit his mistakes. "I'm going take this and take a shower."
And at the time the Bass nerd left the place, Duncan was giving an exasperated sigh and rolled his eyes.
"Thank God that he admitted it... I was this close to planning a prank to pull on him." The delinquent looked at Ezekiel who was going down from the bunker.
'Well, every time we can use Leshawna as a point to make him behave himself is a good way to show that he is wrong and that he needs to grow up... At least we dealt with such an issue." Ezekiel stretched himself before taking his bow and arrows... "Also Duncan, I love doing pranks, but let's just not make pranks in the days of challenge... we need our team to be focused, so we can plan some pranks to do around when we have free time tomorrow or other day."
Geoff and DJ also seemed interested in the proposition of the homeschooled boy...
"Oh, look at that, the golden heart child has a devious side." Duncan was impressed Ezekiel rolled his eyes, and from his backpack took what would be many tiny orange orbs created from tree sap and sand... a good thing he would need for his own adventure.
"Oh come on Duncan, I love to laugh, but like a good prank, we shouldn't focus much on our friends, so that would be unfair..." Ezekiel explained that he didn't like the idea of Harold being hurt, and bulied from the rest of the show...
"Well, and what if wasn't our friends like Trent?" Duncan had a devious smile which made the other boys then has a sparkle in their eyes...
"Then let's go full war, then." Ezekiel shrugged, knowing that he didn't care for Trent anymore... What he did with Cody clearly affected Katie in such a way, that he stopped caring for the guitarist. "Try to see if Harold is up too... He was the one who pranked Heather, so he may have some new ideas."
"Makes sense..." Duncan nodded in acknowledgment, but then he saw Ezekiel tying himself with ropes, and even preparing his quirv for something. "Dude, what are you doing?"
Ezekiel stopped, and by checking himself if he was ready for the trip... he seemed satisfied with everything he had,
"I'm going to take a walk," Ezekiel explained which made the trio look at him in disbelief.
"You are way too prepared for just a walk," Geoff commented as the green hat boy just shrugged.
"It's a very enthusiastic walk," Ezekiel replied, which made the group look at him weirdly. "I will be right back."
And with that, Ezekiel has left... leaving a group of his team confused about what he was doing at the moment.
"Sometimes I think this boy is getting crazier and crazier," Duncan commented as he went back to his push-ups, now without the disgusting interruption from the terrible underwear...
(Beach)
At the beach, Heather tapped her foot impatiently, as Beth looked nervous about what they were about to do...
"Where is he? If he stood up, I'm going to strangle him." Heather was getting angry with waiting for the boy who proposed to return the cursed item.
"You didn't have to come, Heather, you can stay with Lindsay at the camp and I can go alone with him..." Beth said in a worried tone, knowing that she screw up a big time and now her best friend had to suffer the idea of themselves going back to the haunted island... And luckily at the time she was about to receive a reply from Heather, Ezekiel passed the stairs of the beach...
And to the surprise of both Heather and Beth, Ezekiel was well equipped with his bow and arrows, and even a big piece of frozen ribs he was carrying on his hands.
"Sorry for the wait, it was difficult to trick Chef into going away from the kitchen and taking this from the refrigerator." The homeschooled boy explained as he placed the ribs above the canoe. Heather and Beth stared at him in silence. "These Ribs were also a part of a tribute for the animals since they like to eat meat, it can be used as a good way to stall time for us to run..."
Heather and Beth remembered the bevers and the gooses... which made both of them gulp loudly about the possibility of encountering them...
"I hope you girls are ready to go... because I can guarantee that it will take some hours before we come back here... Someone does need a bathroom break before we go?" Ezekiel asked as he placed himself above the canoe... leaving both Heather and Beth staring at each other... Heather was about to reply, but Beth was raising her hand as she was shaking to go to the bathroom.
Heather sighed as she rolled her eyes...
"Okay, you may go Beth... but do it quick," Heather ordered Beth went happily to the bathroom... And now Heather may be thinking about the whole days of challenges that she was going to do... and how at the end of the day... she must come with a painful decision...
