Author's note: I can't believe I passed days to developing this chapter, but I never thought I would be the first one to plan to do this but I'm also so happy to surprise everyone with this. Have fun with this chapter, it's so amazing that I can't wait to read the entire review of everyone.

Now for the reviews:

---

OverLord Wang-Yu :Welcome,I'm so sorry for you not being able to be on the start of the fanfic, but if you want to go to each chapter and give a review of which scene you liked most you are free into doing it, but if you want to give your reviews on the next chapters, do what you think it's great for you. And while it sound temptating, I'm not sure if I should touch the legend of Scooby doo, and I know about the crossover it had with Courage, but it took decades for them to do it, so who knows if I will do it or not, but yeah since the time Ezekiel will have more works, however each book it's a season, and there is many seasons for each book, so it will take a long time. But don't worry I have plans for Ezekiel in the future, and I cannot tell much about Owen situation because to be honest, we have total drama action because of one reason. But enjoy this chapter and have fun, and once again welcome. XD

KenWil2001 :To be honest I like both Ghostfreak and Big Chill, each of them should have to be on their generations, so I have plans on how Ghostfreak would act on the books, but I think it would be running away from the subject, anyway, thank you for liking the idea of the book.

GemmaCartney : I always have described Ezekiel friendship with Geoff like Regular Show, so of course there would be references of it. XD, I'm glad you liked reading this fanfic, welcome and have fun with the future chapters.

nickvan2024 :Who knows? I cannot spoil the next challenge eliminations, but prepare yourself to have fun XD.

Zcool : Chris is traumatized XD.

MatiasND : I'm so glad that you enjoyed the work I have put around every development, I try to study a lot of subjects and make sure everything would fit so well, and I think the work had been paid off, but to answer your question about how Ezekiel got on the body of Ezekiel... I think it's for the best you don't create expectations or mind too much about it, because this was a thing that not even Ezekiel had idea on what happened. If was spiritual, if was scientifically, it would be too crazy, so it was for the best we just ignore this outcome. It's just happened, like most of isekais.

HeavenlyMark : Thank you for enjoying the chapter, and glad you catch the foreshadow of it.

djinn : That was the point made by Noah, and I'm glad that people give ideas on how to make more fun around ripjaws.

BrightNova169 :I'm glad that you liked the chapter, and your portrait on each character was very interesting and don't worry, Lindsay it's too likeable for having haters, but that doesn't mean that she didn't caused a chaos on the Indiana Jones fandom XD. And from when the episode of the The Big Bang Theory episode portraited such incident, it took months for all the good points revealing the relevance of Indiana Jones on the movie, and that happened on 2013 and 2014. That episode of total drama Island happened between 2007 and 2008, which means without a very good internet connection or google without many good sites to share the points. It would take far too long until the groups of fans reunited and posted online the good points on how to save Indiana Jones... However, the final factor would once again destroy the fandom, and this time would be blame on the directors of the movie. MWAHAHAHAHAHA, Anyway I'm glad you liked how I portrait Lindsay, and Beth was indeed inadvertently saved her team. Thank you for the suggestion of ripjaws.

Wolfang21 : HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, a man of culture as well. Yeah, I gave Lindsay the Amy speech of Indiana Jones, because it was the most hilarious episode I ever saw on the show, and I needed to do it since Lindsay is a very good detective, so using that as a good point to show her intelligence would create the chaos around the Canada, and in a few months... USA and the other countries MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Sleepy guest: I'm glad you liked the chapter, and thank you for your suggestions, I hope you like this chapter. XD

Just guest: Thank you for enjoying the chapter and your suggestion of the Ripjaw, and don't worry you are going to have fun on this chapter.

BurstEvolution9000: I'm glad to read this, It's the first time someone ever told me, so I hope you keep liking the progress of the story I have been working on.

Just a wee guest: Thank you for the review, have fun reading this chapter. XD

Mr. E Guest : Would you believe it I did by accident the reference? I didn't remember of writing that scene until you guys told me, I was like DAMN THAT'S TRUE, WOW, WHAT A have a good reading, and thank you for your suggestions XD.

Benny Farr: I don't remember if I wrote that reference by accident or I forgot, because when you told me about it was like a snap which remind me of what happened LOL. Anyway, have fun reading the chapter. And enjoy it XD.

duskrider: I'm so glad this chapter had made you happy dusk, dyslexia must have been tough for you, so I'm glad that you feel sympathetic with Lindsay, I'm so happy that you keep reading my work, so I wish you a nice reading and have fun. XD

Guestspirit: There you go, have fun XD.

Kaiserstar : Wait he does? Well, maybe it makes sense since everyone goes around the world, so they must have learned many languages as they could. But that's good to know. XD

WOW, MANY REVIEWS TO REPLY. I'M SO GLAD IT'S OVER, NOW GUYS, HAVE FUN WITH THIS CHAPTER.

Sadie was thrilled for the afternoon, having spent most of her day eagerly preparing herself to watch the newest episode of the show, since the days of the challenge were the ones which would make the campers reunite and enjoy a good time to see their friends reaching at the final 6, now she was getting excited to see who was going to be the final 5 campers. Harold as the good friend he was, made Sadie feel really happy with the wavy ponytail he did on her, instead of her iconic usual 2 ponytails, the nerd who had spent good hours taking care of the hair of all the girls on the island, managed to make sure that it would be looking great into each girl. And with a new hairstyle on her head, she was ready to do an amazing job.

After finishing her workout, she decided to reward herself with some homemade ice cream. But this wasn't just any ice cream; she was making it from scratch, eager to create enough for herself and her best friend, Katie who was sharing a few sweet moments with her boyfriend, leaning against the counter as they whispered and laughed together, Katie also got a new revamp on her usual hairstyle, since Harold wanted both girls to have more personality to each of them, he made a long butterfly haircut on her since it fit her long black hair which was disguised in two ponytails. Cody was a happy man when he found out another way to love his girl, but since the duo were having fun in the kitchen he got curious, and couldn't help but to ask Sadie one important question.

"Hey, Sadie, are you sure you know how to make ice cream?" Cody asked, looking at the big-boned with muscles who was placing the ingredients in the blender. And Cody by checking which some that felt strange for him he couldn't help but ask.

"Absolutely! It's actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it." Sadie looked up with a grin since she was doing great by using all her experience to make ice cream. "Plus, it's way more fun than just buying it from the store. And also nobody from my family, and even Katie's family complained about my ice cream."

Katie, overhearing their conversation, turned away from her boyfriend and joined them.

"You should've seen her during our school trip fundraiser. She made these amazing ice cream sandwiches that everyone loved." Katie said as she remembered the days they were doing their best to have enough money for the school trip. "We needed money for a school trip, and Sadie came up with the idea to sell ice cream sandwiches. They were a huge hit! We sold out and made enough money for the entire trip."

"It wasn't just me. Katie sewed these adorable chef hats and aprons for us to wear. They caught everyone's attention and made our stand look super professional." Sadie laughed, shaking her head. As even they were a few years younger, she always would say that if wasn't for the help of her best friend and sister of another mother, she wouldn't have done it.

"It was definitely a team effort." Katie blushed, nudging Sadie playfully.

"Sounds like you two make a great team. So, what flavor are you making today?" Cody asked as he was chuckling from the iconic duo still doing the same thing, they always would try to say good things of each other, sometimes it gets tiring, but sometimes it was fun to see them telling a good story. And he was intrigued to see what the Asian twin would be doing.

"I was thinking of making vanilla with chocolate chip mix-ins. It's simple, but you can never go wrong with it." Sadie commented as she shrugged, and Cody nodded his head in understanding. "Also yesterday I left in the freezer a tub of my special salted caramel coconut ice cream."

"Ohhhhhhh, it has been years since I had one," Katie said eagerly as she was already going to the freezer to take the tub which was written Sadie with hearts on it. "Ahhhh, I can't wait to take it a spoon."

"Wow, is that good?" Cody asked as he saw Katie bringing a small bowl for the geek to have a taste of it... And by shrugging his arms he decided to give it a try, and oh boy, his sweet tooth gleamed with joy when he got a taste of that ice cream. "Holyshit Sadie, this ice cream is incredible."

"I KNOW RIGHT?" Katie said as she was enjoying a good taste of the said ice cream, while she could see her best friend still focusing on the work. "Do you need some help, Sadie?"

"Sure! Could you chop the chocolate for me?" Sadie asked, handing Katie a bar of chocolate and a knife. "I'm going to place the heavy cream on the blender."

"Okay." Katie smiled, as Cody shrugged, since they didn't have anything much to do on the day, so working together and learning a thing or two from Sadie who actually knows how to make tasting ice cream was a good idea.

The trio was having fun making the ice cream, laughing and chatting as they worked together. Suddenly, they saw Ezekiel walking towards the kitchen, his face a mask of frustration and annoyance.

"Hey, Zeke, what's up?" Cody asked, noticing Ezekiel's tense expression. But the boy passed by him and simply walked at the counter and without a word slammed his head down with a dramatic thud. The trio exchanged concerned glances.

"Ughhhhhh."Ezekiel just mumbled while the others visibly winced from the groaning of the homeschooled boy.

"Zeke, are you okay?" Katie asked in a concerned tone and the only reply was an even louder groaning. "What happened?"

"I don't want to talk about it." Ezekiel's muffled words could be heard as he refused to raise up his head, which made the others glance at each other before Ezekiel just finished it. "Izzy and Noah found out a sketch of a character that I wasn't happy to write about. And now they insisted to me to write him. And now they are in my bedroom planning ideas for the character while I have a desire to have a meltdown."

"Wow, I never thought writing a story would be difficult like that. I mean, why just not ignore them and don't write at all?" Cody asked as Ezekiel didn't even raise his head but let his answer be clear.

"Because while I hate to admit, they have a point. So now they are passing time writing down ideas while I need a recharge." Ezekiel said as he couldn't deny the point, sometimes writers had to use characters they don't like for the sake of the plot of the story but also for the joy of the readers. The trio then stares at Ezekiel with his arm raised."Can someone bring me something to eat?"

Katie and Cody glanced at each other before Cody made a bowl of ice cream for the boy and put the spoon in his hand.

It was comical to see Ezekiel trying to reach the bowl with a spoon without looking. Since most of the time he was missing the target and hitting the counter instead.

Sadie looked in concern as she was still placing the heavy cream on the blender and Katie was cutting the chocolate.

Until the trio watched Ezekiel manage to have a spoonful of ice cream and place it in his mouth...

The munching sounds were the only thing the group heard until Ezekiel slowly raised his head.

"Holy Grob Gob Glob Grod... This thing is fantastic." Ezekiel quotes the 4 entities of Mars as his tongue tasted the salty caramel and coconut. Sadie smiled wide and Katie giggled. "What brand is this from?"

"They are homemade. Sadie did it." Katie said proudly as Ezekiel blinked and turned at the strong girl who was giggling and placing sugar a bit of salt on the blender.

"No seriously, what brand is it?" Ezekiel commented as Sadie looked hurt from the way Ezekiel said it, which immediately said at the strong-boned girl. "Because Holyshit Sadie, this is by far one of the best ice creams I ever had."

That comment alone made Sadie smile wider as Ezekiel was being honest with what he said. Especially since it had been years since he had tasted Ben&Jerry's, Häagen-Dazs, and Bacio di Latte, those were great ones he had in his past life, and it had been so long that he had a good ice to actually taste it.

"Really?" Sadie asked hopefully, as Cody could see the moody Ezekiel was over, and now it was replaced with the same Ezekiel who always liked to talk about the others.

Minutes passed in a blink, while Ezekiel was drinking a good glass of water after the refreshing ice cream tub, and surprisingly for using weight around everything he does, from eating ice cream to even drinking a glass of water he seemed to be used to wearing weights in both his wrists. Cody was glad to eat the remaining tub since he loves sugar and candy, and Sadie already finished the vanilla with chocolate chips to make it good for the night when the episode started.

Knowing that during the whole episode, Sadie would need to burn all that sugar while doing exercises or Eva would eat her alive. But she was already used to it.

Katie on the other hand was tipping her finger on the counter, which Cody was on his sugar distraction, while Ezekiel seemed to be noticing the unamused look on her face. Katie had already eaten and she was happy for a few seconds but then it felt like she just lost interest.

"Is there something on your mind Katie?" Ezekiel asked as he seemed back and recharged he could see the Tan girl snap from her thoughts and look at Ezekiel in surprise.

"Oh, nothing..." Katie commented as she could see her boyfriend finishing eating and her best friend doing her work. While she couldn't help but show one feeling that most people would understand... "It's just I feel that we have been in a routine. Ever felt the feeling of being bored?"

"All the time." Ezekiel's answer surprised Katie and Ezekiel now felt more relieved than ever. "Especially when I was with pneumonia, I couldn't enjoy the hot tub and neither the pool, the television just had the recorded episodes and the pay-per-view of the show only. And the internet access we have only for our email and the forum of the show... Writing my chapters and doing all the crazy ideas with Izzy was the only way to drive away our boredom."

Katie felt relieved as she could see that she wasn't alone on that.

"I agreed, I wish they could allow us to have telephone access to talk to our parents, I think my mom misses me so much, and Sadie's mom as well," Katie commented as Sadie sat with worry on her friend.

"Yeah, if my mom saw me right now, she'd probably freak out," Sadie nodded in agreement with Katie while letting out a laugh. "She's never seen me like this. All this training with Eva's regime has made me lose a bit of fat but with more muscles. so now I'm the big bone girl with muscles." To emphasize her point, Sadie flexed her arm, accidentally ripping the back of her shirt slightly. She giggled sheepishly. "Oops! There goes another shirt."

Katie looked at the tear and sighed.

"I'll fix that later, don't worry," she said, shaking her head with a fond smile as her friend nodded her head happily, while Ezekiel, who had been silently watching, blinked in surprise.

"Wait, you can sew?"Ezekiel asked as he had never seen an episode of Katie holding a line and pin or using a machine, but knowing how the show only cares about important scenes, he saw first hand what could happen behind the scenes.

"Yep! I'm the one who designed and made the clothes Sadie and I have been wearing for so long." Katie said as she smiled at her best friend who nodded her head and looked at the homeschooled boy with a proud look on her face.

"We have been using this design since 4 years old," Said said as Ezekiel and even Cody blinked a few times, which made the girls proud of themselves.

"So, you made those outfits yourself?" Ezekiel commented as Katie nodded her head happily.

"Yeah. When we were kids, I designed these small t-shirts and tiny shorts for us, and we loved them so much that I kept making them as we grew up." Katie said proudly as Cody and Ezekiel glanced at each other.

"Without changing the size of them?" Cody asked which made Katie giggle, her cheeks turning a light shade of pink.

"Well, I made them bigger to adjust our bodies, but I liked the concept of mini-shirts and mini shorts which made both us look as beautiful as we are right now." Katie giggled sheepishly as Ezekiel nodded his head after learning much more about his friends.

"That explains a few questions, and now I'm interested to ask one in my mind right now," Ezekiel said as he was impressed to know that from that age Katie was the one who designed the clothes. In his mind, he recalled from the total Dramarama the tiny Katie and Sadie were wearing the same clothes, but then it struck his mind like lightning, the tiny shorts and shirt, they fit themselves perfectly as kids, and now they grew up, but never changed their sizes. "Why haven't you tried new designs? From the point of you have made the same style and the way you both look comfortable even on this tiny version, I think you have the potential to try new styles and new clothes for all of us."

"Is it about the comment you said when you were having the haircut?" Sadie commented as Katie blushed in a red color this time, more of a shame, and Cody raised his eyebrows at them.

"You don't say anything, you cannot judge me because you also had the same pair of pants and shirts in your bedroom, I saw it," Katie said as her boyfriend was about to ask something, but looking at the moment it was the best to remain in silence. "And yes Ezekiel, I guess it just never crossed my mind. We liked them so much that it just became a habit. And I didn't think maybe having the same quantity of clothes would make people think we didn't change clothes."

"Katie also made the aprons we wore for our school project. They were a big hit and really made us look professional."

Sadie chimed in, as she recorded the time both girls wore a well designed pink aprons with black stripes and green letters marking their names. "It helped us with the sales of my ice cream sandwiches."

"You're amazing, you know that? Maybe I should ask you to make my clothes in the future," Cody, who had been listening with a smile, leaned in to kiss Katie on the cheek he joked, winking. "Although, I think I'll pass on the tiny shirt and tiny pink shorts."

The reply from the tan twin was just a smile and a big stomp on his foot.

"OUCH. Okay okay, I can accept the tiny shirt," Cody joked as Sadie and Ezekiel chuckled from the sudden yelp.

"Whop-eesh." Ezekiel on the other hand moved with his hands and a cracked whip sound which made him, Katie, and Sadie laugh while Cody pouted from the joke the boy just made. But then had a good smile on his face. "Thanks, girls, I was needing this. But what he said was right, if you were so used to making t-shirts and shorts, why not explore more and try new things? Maybe if people saw how great you are, you could be a great designer."

"Do you think so?"Katie said that she was now looking at her own clothes, and she couldn't help that maybe she could try new ideas.

"Yes, I do... And I think I have one idea." Ezekiel commented as he saw a good opportunity for him to use. "I have a few draws on my bedroom, about the type of style of clothing I wish for me, and it couldn't hurt if you give it a try."

"That's actually a good idea, but I think I would need materials for that, like line, fabric, etc..." Katie said as she felt a little worried about how the plan wouldn't work.

"Like Izzy who had on her bedroom?" Cody asked which made both Katie and Sadie blink, while Ezekiel placed his hand on the cheek while the memories crossed on his mind.

"Oh yeah, when her lawyers had to make a revamp on Izzy's Happy Sap factory, and they wanted her to give a look at what would be all the materials for her to decide which colors should be the factory and also the fabrics for the uniforms of the employees," Ezekiel commented as he remembered on how much stressed Izzy was on that day. "I think that's why she spent a lot of time doing crazy stunts with us because the stress was catching her up."

"Like the time you both used the shield of yours as a catapult to launch you both," Cody commented while Ezekiel rolled his eyes.

"You were also there, don't place the blame on me. I wasn't the one who screamed like a little girl." Ezekiel said as Cody blushed, which made both Katie and Sadie giggle from the geek story.

"Oh come on, it was very high... while I cannot deny that it has been fun, it was crazy and dangerous," Cody commented as Ezekiel looked at him with his eyebrows raised.

"Like most of the episodes of the show?" Ezekiel asked and Cody raised his finger to comment, but then lowered down, and looked sheepish...

"When are we going to do that again?" Then the nerd confessed the question which made Ezekiel chuckle... Both couldn't deny, that thing was fun and very adrenaline-addicting.

"When we are bored and we don't have an episode of the show today." Ezekiel shrugged, as the group was preparing themselves to watch the episode of the tri-armed-triathlon, in which anything could happen. He just hoped that the things on that day would end great for him and his friends.

---

The episode itself had been a lot to talk about since the crew laughed a lot when it came about MacArthur and Sanders, and for Ezekiel, it was hilarious to have them so early on the show, they are like a breath of fresh new air for the campers and for himself, good changes to see how the next episode would go.

From seeing the confessions of each camper, many were sympathetic with Gwen as it seemed she got a reality shock from the Hook, Line, and Screamer, and for more and more Ezekiel isn't sure if in the end Owen, Gwen would be the finalists like the cannon.

Beth was smiling happily to see Lindsay happy on her way to the final three, and Izzy was surprised to see Lindsay treating the military girl friendly and talking good about her, and the mango lipstick flavor really made Izzy think about it and nod her head in approval, she was glad to make a new friend... but the ending though... Tyler gave a glare to Trent every time Lindsay talked about the dirt pancakes.

Courtney was cheering up her boyfriend while the Killer Bass chuckled at the memories of the first episode even Harold laughed at how he needed more practice with the nunchucks and he had to agree with Duncan, all of the Killer Bass agreed, that they missed the first episode, and how fun it was for them to be friends on that time. And from another perspective, after everything they went through... Duncan was right, jumping from a cliff to a zone with sharks? Easy Peasy...

Even the sharks nodded their heads as they agreed. Most of the campers had no idea how they managed to get on the playa del losers, but they got used to them. Courtney was cheering for her boyfriend since she also missed her delinquent lover.

DJ's confession made Ezekiel imagine who would be the next eliminated of the challenge, he was glad that Courage helped the Jamaican during most of the episodes of the season but enough was enough, DJ was reaching his limit, and from the way he described, everyone stared at Izzy who paused but nodded her head solemnly, a show like that could break anyone by surprise, and they wouldn't blame DJ in case he would give up.

Owen was Owen. Even if some campers were still disappointed in his decision, they couldn't help but chuckle at his antics, even the way he is, he is always cheerful and makes everyone roll their eyes with his imagination.

Now for Heather, from the way she described Noah and Leshawna narrowed their eyes, while Ezekiel raised his eyebrow from the way she talked... Heather as rude as she could be, even bitchy about many things, it's still surprising as the way she talked about Beth and Lindsay, indeed what a little action could change completely the way Heather viewed her former alliance from cannon... And Beth was smiling happily at her friend because she was used to the way the queen bee talked. Since that's how she cared about them. Beth nodded her head as Heather ordered her to take care of herself, and everyone could understand her point of view. She promised on the final 3, and in times like that, she would go full competition, which would be the time to temporarily cut the ties and focus on the game.

"I respect her decision," Ezekiel murmured as he could see how it ended, and with his eyes rolling he already knew things would work. "It's not a good idea, but I respect your decision."

And then it came the challenges, Duncan handcuffed with Heather, Lindsay with Gwen, and Owen with DJ... Which partnerships were going to be tested, as even Ezekiel would be interested to know how it was going to end...

And like the cannon, Owen won for the team, but this time DJ was the one who suffered... Ezekiel laughed when Heather felt a shiver on her spine because he knew she was the one who was supposed to be in DJ's place. Lindsay and Gwen seemed to be having fun, while Heather had a point, going against Owen in a food-eating contest was pointless. But Duncan had to give up at some point.

Then it comes the canoe trip, which made Ezekiel and Beth their eyes wide open in shock, which the Boney Island name was enough to make Beth pale, the same way as Heather, and from the panic on the queen bee's face... Everyone from the Playa Del Losers felt kinda sad for the girl...

And both Ezekiel and Beth prayed that nobody would have taken a cursed item from the island... Later they felt horrified to see Heather having a panic attack. Everyone paused as they watched how serious it was, to the point were Courtney's mouth went in shock when Duncan had to give a hug to the queen bee, and slowly managed to make her stop hyperventilating. Sometimes the Killer Bass forgot Duncan came from a family of detectives, and learning a lot from the past, even the worst shit of blood in a paper, he still managed to help a camper. Especially Heather.

Ezekiel lowered his head as he couldn't help but admit that he was caught by the moment, he should have treated better his body but he decided to create a prank war because they had bruised his ego, so in the end he had to give up because his body couldn't keep up with him. Also, the campers chuckled when Duncan offered the idea of Ezekiel asking for Heather to do Lady's Raincorn quotes, which the group was interested in seeing Heather speak Korean.

And for the relief of everyone, there isn't a rainstorm or a snowstorm happening on Boney Island.

Owen on the other hand, gave a very deep explanation about himself that took many by surprise, not realizing that even as upbeat as Owen was, nobody thought about what he truly felt about his life, and he defined a good part of his character, which he feared to screw up... But not knowing that he indeed screw up badly, DJ's words were exactly what Owen needed to hear and have a reality shock when it comes to the fat boy. When he asked what else he could have done, Ezekiel smiled proud of how DJ taught him what Courage would always have done, he would run away with the people he cared about most, and DJ was brutally honest with Owen about how Izzy would never give a chance to him again, Izzy nodded her head in agreement, she would never make the same mistake which would lead her being killed like that. When DJ said for Owen to take his grown-up pants and learn from his mistakes, everyone applauded for DJ teaching Owen how it should have been done. But then the nostalgic talk about family attacked DJ which made everyone feel how DJ must have missed his mother.

Lindsay was surprised that nobody ever thought about it. Nobody was ready for her scene with Gwen, from the joke made by Gwen being followed by Lindsay obeying her made the campers laugh, and the way she described Heather, Beth, and even Izzy as her friends was touching. And Izzy felt kinda bad for leaving the blond bombshell without saying more words or having more time to learn about her, but it was nice to see her getting a new friend, and the campers nodded their heads when Gwen explained that Izzy had her reasons to leave... And with a revelation which caught everyone by surprise except for Izzy who knew before... Ezekiel never realized that possibility if wasn't for Heather clarifying with her words that yes... Lindsay is dyslexic and even as a kid she had difficulty learning names and following orders. Which made Ezekiel slap his head for not realizing it sooner. Gwen also apologized for probably making fun of the girl for so long, but Lindsay just shrugged it off and told on how her parents had to adapt the way she must read books... And Ezekiel had a revelation at that moment... It wasn't only Lindsay, but probably many kids would suffer the same problems she had been getting into reading books. And her father's idea to make improv audio books for his daughter, made him write the idea to make sure to try audiobooks for people who couldn't read a book.

Ezekiel laughed at the faces of everyone when they found out what kind of books Lindsay liked, and to be honest for a person like Lindsay to like Sherlock Holmes and Murder on the Orient Express? It wasn't a surprise that she won the mystery movie challenge on the Total Drama Action, she was in her element. And that made the episode even sweeter for Ezekiel. And to say Lindsay created plans to be so crazy and stupid that it might work, Ezekiel would be curious about how she could have done it. It sounded fun.

So when the groups went to Boney Island, for the relief of Ezekiel, they didn't have the broken pieces of the cursed Tiki, it was just a race for the place where they had a bonfire, which was great. Everyone had their worries about the dangerous animals, but they couldn't help but laugh at DJ teaching Owen how to be a true coward while they were followed by the dangerous animals.

Lindsay and Gwen were having a great time as Cody was happy to be remembered and even got a kiss on his cheek by his girlfriend as his heroic moment, which made him proud. And the more they learned about Lindsay the more they enjoyed knowing how she liked mystery movies.

"Unusual suspects."

"Based," Ezekiel said as he agreed with her.

"The Pink Panther."

"BASED," Ezekiel shouted loudly as another great mystery movie which the campers glanced at him, made Ezekiel stare at Lindsay. Thinking about it, she would have been Inspector Clouseau's daughter.

"Ace Ventura."

"BASED," This time wasn't only Ezekiel but Bridgette and Izzy shouted loudly because they had to agree with Lindsay that Jim Carrey as an animal investigator solves cases even with his eccentricities, which was a good signal of a great movie.

And then Ezekiel blinked when she mentioned that she destroyed her father's favorite movie, which made the others don't understand what she said.

Until Ezekiel realized that she was talking about Indiana Jones, and Ezekiel knew that the Pandora box was opened. At that moment, Lindsay said the same words of Amy from The Big Bang Theory which made him surprised to see Lindsay from all people find the plot holes like that...

.

.

.

And it took 5 seconds until Cody and Harold had a meltdown. Just like Chris on the confession who started crying.

"UGHHHHHHHHHHHH." The nerds moaned as they looked at one of their favorite movies ruined from the simple perspective of Lindsay.

"Wait a minute. The Nazis were digging in the wrong place. The only reason they got the ark was because Indy found it first." Cody gave a point that Harold thought about it, but then another point crossed his mind.

"Actually, they were only digging in the wrong place because Indy had the medallion," Harold explained in detail as he couldn't help but point out another good point which made Cody's eyelids twitch... "Without him, they would've had the medallion and dug in the right place."

Another second passed, until both boys groaned in displeasure, while Katie and Leshawna looked at both nerds having a a meltdown.

"Wait, wait. If it wasn't for Indiana Jones, the ark would never have ended up at the warehouse." Cody snapped his fingers and Harold had his eyes wide open and smiled.

"That's true, he collected and delivered the ark to the proper authorities for filling," Harold said in agreement, which both could feel their mission accomplished.

Sadly both for them, Ezekiel watched The Big Bang Theory.

"Although technically Indy was supposed to take the ark to a museum to be studied, he couldn't even get that done." Ezekiel pointed out which left both nerds having their mouths dropped in shock, and then blinking until the terrible feeling once again hit on their stomachs.

"Noooooooooo..." Both Cody and Harold went on their knees and had the Indiana Jones plot messed with them.

Ezekiel glanced at the duo reaching the breakpoint, which appeared a thought on his mind.

"Should I tell them about how in the future they found explanations that would help to save Indiana Jones?" Ezekiel thought to himself, but then looking at the duo reaching that point and the Kingdom of the Cyrstal Skull was about to be released that year? Ezekiel remembered how many fans of the movie got disappointed and trashed the franchise for what disappointment the future movies of the old archeologist hero became... "Nah, it's from 2013 to 2015 they solved the mystery of saving the Indiana Jones plot, let the fans don't get their hopes too high on Kingdom of the Cyrstal Skull. It will save their hearts from disappointment. I suffered with that Pandora Box opened from that comedy series, so let Canada suffer with him."

"Hey." Then a familiar voice whispered which made Ezekiel glance at Izzy who was curious about it."In the future, they found a way to save it?"

"Yes, they did in 2013 to 2015," Ezekiel commented as he saw the ginger girl raise her eyebrow.

"Aren't you going to save those 2 having an existential crisis?" Izzy asked which made Ezekiel scoff.

"Fuck no, I had to suffer from that revelation in the future, it took me years to move on from that, I'm bulletproof now. And nobody helped me when I was in their place. So misery loves company, if I had to suffer, so they as well..." Ezekiel smirked as he could see Izzy enjoying their talk. "And the internet isn't that advanced that where everyone could research in Google all they want, it took a lot of debate and many people arguing for finally came up with solutions... Which I'm going to be in silence to save them from the disaster,"

"What disaster?" Izzy said curious as Ezekiel raised his hand with four fingers shown.

"The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull doesn't deserve the hype, and maybe Lindsay is going to save a lot of money from the disappointed fans, which while it sucks, it's a sacrifice we must do..." Ezekiel said solemnly as the time he was alive in the other universe, he got into the fandom of Indiana Jones with his mother who was a teacher, from what subject she taught at other schools he had no idea, but from all the material she gave him to study at home, and with her support into learning more about geography, English and even history, he missed the times when she rewarded him by watching classic movies that both his parents loved to watch when they had a day off... Especially from the meltdown both of them were disappointed to see Indiana Jones surpassing the limits of bringing aliens to the movie. The worst revelation of the movie, the boy who is a rebel is Indi's son.

A nostalgic smile appeared on his face, while Izzy looked at him in disbelief.

"Wow, it shouldn't be that bad." Izzy raised her eyebrow and in disbelief.

"It's your money you are using, so suit yourself." Ezekiel shrugged as he then glanced in a direction and noticed something unfamiliar. He just saw Courtney and Bridgette looking at them both. "Err... what's going on with Courtney and Bridgette?"

"Ah, nothing too much," Izzy just shrugged off, which made Ezekiel blink, but then return to see the episode.

.

.

.

"They have been whispering way too much," Courtney commented, as Bridgette tried to read their lips, but failed spectacularly.

"I don't know how they do that in the movies, it's very hard to read lips." The surfer commented as the duo ignored the moaning of pain from both nerds, while their respective girlfriends tapped their backs as they tried to give comfort to their broken hearts and dreams like Chris had...

"Well we have to find out more about them," Courtney gave up as she decided to focus on the television, with both girls already passing days watching closely on how the duo always acted.

"Well, we could wait for the right opportunity. I mean, they seemed acting naturally and we will find a way to prove we are right." Bridgette shrugged as the C.I.T. girl couldn't help but accept.

"You are right... Maybe we could do a better investigation and talk more with Zeke, maybe he is overworking himself and needs something to distract himself and relax." Courtney nodded her head as she even looked at Katie, Sadie, and Ezekiel were eating ice cream. "I'm going to talk to him later."

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Now, I'm going to kiss my boyfriend and enjoy the rest of the show." Bridgette smirked as she was walking at Geoff while Courtney rolled her eyes.

"Okay, if she kisses more than 5 minutes I'm going to use the spray." Courtney smiled as she then returned to the only show they were allowed to use.

.

.

.

The group watched the duos appearing and saw the new challenge of how difficult it was going to be for them. Since it would require a memory test and determine the victory and the immunity.

The totem of shame and humiliation, and how the campers would find themselves confused in trying to remember the right order, some campers who had great memories like Noah, Courtney, and Ezekiel memorized the order, and while Noah and Courtney did by the memory of campers, Ezekiel followed the order of episodes which he remembered clearly from which person was eliminated on the specific challenge.

But the group then blinked and cringed at how Owen couldn't save himself from saying something he could regret.

Justin felt uncomfortable by Owen saying that about him, and DJ came to the rescue and gave a lesson to Owen about not making things worse for him.

Heather and Duncan surprisingly showed a good dynamic as they worked together while Killer Bass rolled their eyes at Heather's attempt at Duncan's elimination from saying their word, and Courtney saw how Duncan looked at her wooden face.

Lindsay surprised everyone in a way nobody expected, Lindsay opened her heart and with a speech like that, there was no way Beth couldn't be emotional and cry a lot. As the campers couldn't help but admire Lindsay's resolve, she and Heather are determined to reach the final 3.

Ezekiel never thought about how Lindsay showed gratitude for Beth's sacrifice, and surprisingly, Ezekiel couldn't help but think that maybe something like that would happen.

If Heather and Lindsay get on the final 3, the triple dog dare you challenge is going to be a battle of resolve, and this time Heather and Lindsay won't have each other's back... And to be honest... He would be lying if he wasn't eager to see that challenge happening.

But in the next episode, nobody knows who could be eliminated.

Courtney, Bridgette, Harold, Katie, and Sadie couldn't help but be amazed by Lindsay's determination and Tyler smiled happy and proud of his girl who wanted to win to show that she could do it.

That speech alone made many who were watching would be eager to cheer for Lindsay and Heather to reach the final three. In the name of Beth and Izzy who did their best to make solid steps while Killer Bass crumbled from the pressure without most of their pillars.

Courtney smiled at seeing how much Duncan cared about her... Everyone who saw Chris making fun of him getting hit by Eva's head was funny, but Heather said that even though Eva was out of the game she could hurt the others and made all the campers laugh. Who knew the Queen Bee had good jokes?

And then the end of the challenge, which everyone chuckled at how Chris couldn't say their names right. And with Heather and Duncan with immunity... It could be anyone who could be eliminated.

But DJ saying he voted on Lindsay because he knew that he would be in a tie with Owen was a very good play, while some of the campers were still in shock. Ezekiel smiled proudly at the speech DJ gave as he was on the boat of losers, and when he gave the sudden move from Courage shouting yes, Ezekiel chuckled at how DJ indeed incorporated the spirit of Courage...

Just a story, which was able to transform his life. And how an idea was enough to change the lives of others. In the same way, Ezekiel felt when he watched his favorite shows. He laughed, he cried and he learned from every single one of them... And he was proud to pass this message on to the others as well...

---

"Alright, it seems that we came to a decision then?" Ezekiel asked as both Izzy and Noah nodded their heads, it had been a long hour after the episode, and since the group was waiting for DJ to get to the Playa Del Losers, they had to debate the main issue of the alien that it had to be written around the show. And Ezekiel had to make a draw about the new version of Ripjaws.

The new version of Ripjaws was inspired by mudskippers, fish that can absorb less oxygen from water and gradually adapt to terrestrial environments. As Ripjaws matures, he requires less oxygen from water, allowing him to spend more time on land.

"From the key features, we have Oxygen Separation, which one long is specialized for extracting oxygen from water, while the other is the storage lung which acts as a reservoir, and storing water to make him not dehydrate and can be utilized for various purposes in case Ben would act creatively," Ezekiel explained from the words he debated with the duo who nodded their heads at him. "And depending on the months and years of experience, as he ages, he needs less oxygen from water, and having more facility in opening in the land... This is fair since he is 10 years old, and in case years in the future he uses this transformation would make him more experient in using transformation."

From the point of view of Noah, that power was very well balanced, and since Omnitrix was more used as a way of research and exploration across the true peace without war, it was a good way to adapt his weakness as the time they became older and wiser.

"Now mine," Izzy said as Ezekiel nodded his head and continued to explain the good powers Ripjaws would use around the chapters and how it would be more convenient around the lore, like most of the other aliens. Making each of them have strengths and weaknesses.

"Mechanism of defense, he can use the stored water to sharpen and enlarge his scales, to make them more like tools to crush rocks on the water, but if used in another way it could transform them into projectiles. He can launch these sharpened scales as water projectiles for ranged attacks but also leaks the water stored inside of his body like water drops bullets, wasting a good source of water inside of his storage lung. He can also create large fins that can be thrown like boomerangs, adding to his offensive arsenal." Ezekiel commented on the last skill like something possible that no Piscciss Volann could have thought into something like that. Since Ben was a child, he could think of ideas outside of the box, which helped him to become a great hero in the future. "And now for the drawbacks... which mostly likely is the water management. Every time Ripjaws uses his water projectiles or sustains damage, the stored water is consumed.

Water Replenishment: After using his abilities or taking hits, Ripjaws needs to return to water quickly to replenish his water reserves, ensuring he can continue to fight effectively."

"He sounds so much more awesome," Izzy commented as Noah nodded his head.

"Yes, and from the way you are describing, you plan to make his challenges and fights very difficult for him which would explore his weakness like that. Which would show a good conflict for the future." Noah concluded as Ezekiel had to give to both of his friends, they really managed to make one of the most filler aliens to finally reach his potential. And that without thinking of ideas they gave to him which he would probably use on Ultimate Ripjaws... He was already thinking of making a few fanarts of them when they get bored.

"Well, I have nothing else to say, he is on the team." Ezekiel accepted and Izzy was very happy and Noah was satisfied with the results. And with the new project of Ben 10 in the future, nobody will ever imagine what kind of superhero he is going to make. And looking at how much time he would take to make that book... It would be the time he would probably be writing on Total Drama Action.

DJ thought that since the elimination he could return to his momma and have a nice conversation with her, however since the captain had told him that he was supposed to go to a new place with the other campers, it had been a stab in his heart... But somehow the captain showed a good kindness to him and said there was a package that he was supposed to bring from downtown, so he could try to use a public telephone to make a call to his family since nobody would know.

That would make their trip longer, but it would be enough for the giant Jamaican to be happy and get in contact with his momma again.

And hours passed until the boat reached the shore of a city that he hadn't seen for so long. And while it would be overwhelming to anyone who returned from the show. DJ was more focused on one simple thing.

"Momma, it's me," DJ commented as he was holding the telephone in his hands, preparing himself for anything his mother would say to him, and even that wasn't enough for what his mother would say.

"Devon Joseph, I have never been so proud of you." Momma on the other side of the telephone the voice and the maternal love that he missed for so long finally made him release the tears he had been holding for so long. "You did your best, and you did the right thing until the end, and you shouldn't be worried about me, I made great friends while you were on the show..."

DJ felt happy with himself as he showed that indeed he did the right thing, but when his momma told him that she made friends while he was on the show he was surprised as he couldn't imagine that all the Killer Bass mothers decided to make lunch together and meet each other, and that actually made him happy, because if he knows all the parents of his friends, that means that he could call them to visit home or even invite them to go to his Birthday party as the same way he could sleep on his friend's house.

His momma usually only trusted people who she was friends with, and being friends with all the mothers of his friends indeed had been a great thing. Since she said she wasn't alone...

"So from what Eva told Anastasia, you will be in a resort 5 stars until the end of the show..." Momma had told her son about the details about what good things DJ could be enjoying and he couldn't help but be relieved to enjoy some good experience and even see his friends. "Also, if you see Eva, tell her that her mom wants to strangle her until she passes out."

"WHAT?" DJ asked loudly as he couldn't understand why his momma wanted to say that. "Okay, well the captain probably must have taken the package. I love you, momma, take care of yourself."

"Don't worry about me. Have fun with your friends. I know that you have so much to talk to them, and they will be happy to see you again." Momma said as the brick house with a heart knew what was about to happen. "I'm so happy for you have such amazing friends, my son, have fun and rest, you deserve it.'

DJ sniffed as he saw the bunny on his shoulder, which made him smile kindly and then return to the telephone.

"Thank you, momma, I love you," DJ said as a good way to turn off the telephone. He felt so relieved like he dropped all the weight off his shoulders.

Returning back to the boat, the Jamaican stared surprised as he saw more luggage and suitcases than before. Even leather backpacks that looked familiar.

"Wow, someone must be wanting to bring clothes at the trip," DJ commented as he couldn't understand why the captain would want to bring those until someone spoke behind him.

"Those are mine." The voice alone made the Jamaican jump on his place and turned his head to see a person he never thought he would be so happy to see.

"Eva, you are h...okay?" DJ was about to give a hug to his bodybuilder friend until he saw most parts of her torso and arms were covered in bandages, and he hesitated to say hello to her.

"I'm fine, I just have to leave the hospital since they were getting on my nerves," Eva commented as she cracked her neck. "Being on the bed while doing nothing had been a torture for me, and seeing that you guys reached the final 6 while I was laying on the bed annoyed me so much that I broke out from there."

"You broke out from hospital?" DJ said in alarm as he then realized what the words of his momma had said to him, and knowing that possibly he would need to pass the message to her, he didn't hesitate. "Then I think you should know that your mother wanted to strangle you."

For the first time, DJ never imagined seeing it, but he saw Eva flinch from hearing that message.

"I can imagine that," Eva mumbled as she looked at the captain who was ready to start the boat. "We better leave now."

DJ for the first time recognized that tone of voice, it was the tone of I made my parents mad so I better run before they catch me. A part of him smiled, knowing that deep down even the strongest woman he ever known had the same fear as many children in the world.

Anger of a mother indeed could be a universal thing.

But at least the duo could enjoy their rest with their friends, while Eva could pass her recovery by herself.

Everything is fine...

(Camp Wawanakwa ) (Pay-Per-View)

On the next morning at Camp Wawanakwa, the final 5 campers who managed to get so far on the show could understand that the more time passes the more lonely the place gets, since more empty the place would become without their team and friends to enjoy the whole island with them. Once a place that was full of movement, interaction, and energy, now lays the feeling of emptiness and sadness crossing around the remaining members of the show.

Each member felt the pressure of the competition since anything could happen, and they were thankful for whatever entity because the show finally was approaching an end.

Also for another good side, Heather, Lindsay, and even Duncan found good entertainment when they saw the cadets Sanders and MacArthur doing their patrols and acting on command sometimes when it wasn't about them. But for one person in question.

"PLEASE, I GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT, JUST LET ME HAVE ONE BITE," Owen begged as he approached both cadets who were holding their boxes of Donuts and a bowl of coffee in their hands. And MacArthur was holding a taser gun on the other aiming directly at the fat boy.

"One more step big guy, and I will shoot you for getting belligerent," MacArthur said as Owen tilted his head, and accidentally moved one step forward. "You asked for it."

"WAHWUAHAHAUHSUAHSUAHSUAS." Owen was about to say sorry but immediately was attacked by the taser which made the big-boned guy get electrified by the security who was hired to protect them, not to attack the campers. And when Owen went down with a little steam coming across his body, the pines were released back to the taser gun.

MacArthur blew the taser and placed it back in her belt.

"I love my job." The cadet said as the other cadet rolled her eyes. "Alright, 2 boxes of donuts and 2 liters of coffee for those ingrates, and in exchange, they would cover our shifts on the Weekend nights."

"Well you had a fight against them, and you lost it, it was great that we decided to act like diplomacy and everything went back to normal." Sanders walked as the security guards crossed carrying their donuts and coffee to the woods. While Duncan, Heather, Lindsay, and Gwen who just appeared there at the last moment raised her eyebrow at the scene.

"Owen tried to beg those academy cops for a donut again?" Gwen asked as the group nodded their heads at her, "I should have expected. So what did I miss?"

"Well, just the crying and the begging Owen does when he is despaired for food, and since someone trashed his secret candy stash by implementing you know which stink bomb, Owen got himself vomiting for the whole night while I moved my stuff on the Aquarium." The delinquent explained to Gwen the circumstance of what happened and why the familiar fart sound happened across the night, which made Gwen stares at Duncan by surprise. But he waved her thoughts away. "I was lucky that I was taking a shower when that happened. So I had to be quick and grab the essentials before I would have to wait for a few days until the smell got out from some of my clothes and then wash it at least 5 times."

"I hate how you sound so casual about it." Heather finally voiced her thoughts as both Gwen and Duncan shrugged in response, while Lindsay gave a slight wave at Gwen who gave a slight smile.

"If I have to confess, I was the one who maybe had caused this whole El Mongo and La Muerte sequence, Chef Hatchet learned to make a fatal stink bomb and now could use it to torture us whenever he wants, but at least he isn't aiming at us, as long we don't piss him off," Duncan said as he had no idea on why Owen was being targeted by the Chef, but probably having a secret stash of candy would make Chef infuriated with anyone.

*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*

Then an alarm was enough to make the 4 campers stare around until Chris' voice could be heard from the loudspeaker.

"Alright Final 5 Campers, congratulations on being the remaining members of the show, while the next episode of the show will happen in 2 days. I have a surprise for everyone in the amphitheater. So you better find me on there in one hour." Chris' congratulating and giving the news to the remaining five was unsettling and yet worrisome because usually nothing coming from Chris Mclean is good.

---

(Amphitheatheater)

Chris stood at the front of the amphitheater, a wide grin plastered on his face as the remaining campers: Gwen, Duncan, Owen, Lindsay, and Heather took their seats. The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm, golden hue over the stage.

"Alright, campers! Congratulations on making it to the final five!" Chris announced, his voice echoing through the amphitheater. "You've all done an amazing job so far, and while we're preparing the next episode, I thought you deserved a little treat. Today, we have a special surprise for each of you."

The campers exchanged curious glances, a mixture of excitement and apprehension on their faces.

"Surprise?" Owen asked, eyes wide with anticipation. As he was on the verge of despair "Is it food? Is it candy? Please tell me it's candy."

"No, Owen, not this time."Chris chuckled. Knowing how the cadets tased the chubby boy for irritating them to their limits, he was going to love to see the edited version on pay-per-view in the future. But composing himself it was time to explain what's about to happen to the anxious campers."Today, we've got something even better. We have video messages from home! Each of your families has sent a 25-second message just for you."

The campers' eyes lit up with surprise and excitement. They leaned forward, eagerly anticipating the messages from their loved ones. Lindsay was jumping on her place in excitement, while Heather rolled her eyes but a good part of her missed her own mother, Gwen tried to hide but she was happy to know that she would receive a message from her mother and brother, and Duncan smirked, since he didn't see his parents since juvie, and it will be nice to find what his parents had to say about him.

Chris held up his hand to quiet them down.

"Now, here's how it's going to work. Each of you will get to see a video message from your family. We've kept them short and direct, and some were hilarious, just 25 seconds each, so make sure you pay attention! These messages are meant to give you a little boost and remind you of why you're here and how far you've come. But if you didn't manage to pay attention, this will be aired on the commercials on the television, so you may watch it someday on the channel."

"So, we get to see our families, even if it's just for a few seconds? And then we have our families exposed to whatever message they have for us and it will be aired on the television as many times as the show is allowed? "Gwen scoffed as she glared at the host who smirked at her, curiosity piqued. "Damn, you guys are good."

"Exactly," Chris replied. As he couldn't help but be excited to see how they would react to the videos by themselves, a good part of him already could smile evilly just for the thoughts. "These messages are from your parents and are meant to give you that extra push as we head into the final stages of the competition. It's not just about surviving anymore; it's about thriving and showing everyone what you've got."

"Oh my gosh, this is so amazing! I can't wait to see my parents!" Lindsay clapped her hands together excitedly.

"WHOHOOOOO. Let's go Chirs." Owen shouted as Chris chuckled at their acts. And already had the remote control on his hand.

"Alright, campers. Let's start with an easy one... Starting with you Duncan. Let's see what the parents of the bad boy last pillar of Killer Bass had to say. And in 3,2,1…" Chris pressed the button and at the time it showed a man resembling a more mature and bland version of Duncan, with his haircut which would be described as cowlick wearing a green sweater with a green tie, and on his side a blond woman with a short blonde hair red blouse sitting in a couch, while Duncan blinked as he saw a tan woman who looked exactly like his girlfriend, however, the age had caught her up as she showed to have a decade or two older than the girl who he has a relationship. The woman herself was wearing a red suit with a long red skirt and stared at the camera with a solemn look on their face.

"Hello Duncan, we came here because we are allowed to tell you that we love you…" Duncan's mother said which made the father roll his eyes as he was already to point out everything.

"Despite your arrest for the happy nud year stunt." The father, on the other hand, wasn't amused by telling one of the infringements and crimes that the boy had done.

"Or for selling your father's hair pieces as pets." The mother continued and before the father would say the rest of the message. The red suit woman intervened.

"Or for the pool party in the city Hall Fountain. But that's not what we are going to talk about." The woman finally explained Duncan could see that the attitude of command and authority from his girlfriend where it came from. "I have been working around the paperwork and I managed to convince a few friends of mine that since you are participating in the show, they decided to reduce the sentence to make you pay a few weeks of community service instead of being on the juvenile. So you are a free boy now."

"All of this thanks to Victoria." Duncan's mother commented as the father nodded in agreement.

Duncan had his eyes wide open in surprise as he never thought he would be so happy to hear that he wouldn't return on the juvie at the time he got over from the show. Even though it would suck to pay community service, instead of being on the juvie again that was a great exchange.

"But now returning on another thing… You better treat my daughter right Duncan, because if I find out that you destroyed her heart, then no lawyer in the world would save you from all the lawsuits and humiliation that I would be going to do with you, especially if I could make this show's contract into something way worse that it would make you legally their slaves. So do not provoke me." Victoria said those words which made Duncan pale and sweat in fear as he could see the angry face of his girlfriend who would want to rip off his face in case he messed up with Courtney, and already dealing with her was challenging but the pressure of having worst things than juvenile, made him fear for his life… Then he blinked when Victoria smiled at him. "But seeing how much you two grew up as responsible leaders even with the help of another member of the team, I never thought to see my daughter more active and happy than the time she was on the school… so for that, I'm grateful for you. Now, win this game for Courtney okay?"

"You did the right thing, son, even though you have been a criminal." Duncan could see that his father showed a tone of pride and even with the tone of sarcasm he was used to it, but pride had been something very foreign for the delinquent.

"That hairpiece was is what's criminal." Duncan's mother replied that the father looked at his hair, while Victoria raised her hand and both mothers gave a high five… Immediately the video ended with Duncan giving a loud laugh…

"I'M FREEEEEEEEEEE," Duncan shouted as he thought he won the lottery, a better way to describe freedom than laughing loudly, as Gwen rolled her eyes.

"Do you still have to pay community services, I have to confess wow, never thought you did a lot for being arrested," Gwen confessed as Duncan scoffed but was proud of himself.

"What can I say? I'm a vandal, but I at least know my limits, and it was all for the sake of having fun. But you saw my dad's hair, I told him many times that it could be a tiny dog if done right, and he didn't believe me." Duncan commented proudly as Heather rolled her eyes and Lindsay clapped for the delinquent who now isn't going to return on juvenile.

"Well, isn't that nice guys? See? Who says I don't bring good news? Now who wants to be next?" Chris smiled as he then decided to point out at the goth of the group. "Gwen, are you ready? To bad… 3,2,1…"

At the time Chris pressed the button, appeared what would be a green couch with a woman with brown hair and a pink blouse and skirt smiling happily at the camera, while on the other side of the couch, there was a boy with a green wood t-shirt, blue pants and cyan cap which was covering his hair, however, the boy was having an existential crisis at the moment.

"Gwen, we miss you so much that, your brother and I decided to ask a favor from a friend to pretend to be the future you." Gwen's mom said those words made all the friends stare at the goth who rolled her eyes and groaned. "Also your brother gave a very convincing act with his existential crisis, isn't that right Cody?"

"Life is a lie, everything happening in adventure movies is nothing more than a lie, doing nothing wouldn't change anything other than actually doing something," Cody said as he was monologuing about one of the episodes of the show until he felt a slap on his head which made him snap from his thoughts. "What? Wait, is that on? GWEN DO NOT LET LINDSAY WIN, I CAN'T LIVE DOWN MY FAVORITE MOVIE BEING DESTROYED LIKE THAT, TAKE HER DOWN."

"Cody." Gwen's mother said in a warning tone, which made him gulp.

"Sorry, well, take her down gently because she is your friend and also Tyler's girlfriend, but what were we talking about?" Cody turned to see his mother smiling at him, which made him sweat. "It was her idea, Gwen, she called Ezekiel's mom for that."

The mother smiled as she nodded her head in agreement, which was a bomb for some members who were watching the scene.

"What?" Gwen and Duncan said in confusion and surprise until the next scene showed what would be a vision of the table where it happened to be a meal, while Cody was wearing a fake beard a fedora, geek glasses, and a T-shirt written I hate T-shirts as a good way to use ironically a T-shirt. The mother was wearing the same clothes but she was using a lot of makeup to identify she was trying to disguise her age and was wearing a gray wig… In the middle of the table, there was what would be a long-haired woman who just had the same colors of her hair, almost the exact way she had, but it was long hair and the front part was covering the eye. The color scheme was similar, and Duncan could swear that the woman was an older sister or the true mother of the said goth who was just staring in shock from the same view.

"Gwen you didn't even touch your meatloaf," The mother commented as the woman who resembled Gwen rolled her eyes.

"Great, I spent 5 years in Italy to learn more about the history of art and the renascence era, then I had to suffer annoying subway trips around Paris to go to Louvre to learn more about the great artists and when I came home to enjoy the little piece I have of my life the first thing I got when I come up on this house was meatloaf… well at least it's better than the trash I had been eating on the island for so long."The adult woman commented with sarcasm that even Cody blinked in surprise and stared at how she clearly acted exactly like the sister he knew… until she narrowed her eyes. "Are you going to be staring? Anyway, how have you been? Did you get over the fact Indiana Jones 5 was terrible and couldn't be great after the disaster of the Raiders of the Lost Ark?"

Cody remained quiet as he stared at the food he looked as if he had PTSD.

"Why are we still here? Just to suffer?" Cody placed both hands on his head as he melted down in sadness while it cut perfectly back to the mother and brother who were staring at the camera.

"I gotta say she did perfectly your portrait and I can tell why people are asking me if she was my relative. I'm glad that this plan had worked out, right Cody?" Gwen's mom commented as Cody used his finger to spin around his head.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo," Cody said as he made a motion about how their mother got crazy before the video stopped.

At the time Chis pressed the button, Gwen was with her mouth dropped, as Duncan couldn't help but whistle.

"Wow, not going to lie, Ezekiel's mom captured you completely," Duncan commented as Chris was laughing from seeing the face twitching of the goth who was very embarrassed.

"Oh that's hilarious," Chris said as Gwen placed both her hands on her head in disbelief.

"I can't believe that happened," Gwen said as Lindsay clapped happily.

"Wow Gwen you got a message from the future, and you looked so great with long hair, I think you should try," Lindsay commented as Chris laughed louder, and Heather decided to intervene.

"It's not a message from the future Lindsay, it's just an actor who did a short video," Heather explained which the blonde bombshell understood and nodded her head. Thankfully that was enough to stop the humiliation.

"I should have expected my mom would have done that. But at least I wasn't the only one who suffered. I was right about Cody freaking out." Gwen commented as she gave a smile to Lindsay, since her brother could be annoying sometimes, she was glad to see him also having a meltdown.

"Alright, let's go for our next victim, I mean our next lucky camper." Chris corrected as he pressed the button which showed something that most people wouldn't expect.

The screen flickered to life, showing Lindsay's family standing in their opulent living room. The setting was lavish, with plush furniture, ornate decorations, and a grand piano in the background. Lindsay's father, dressed in his flamboyant ringmaster attire, stood front and center, his slicked-back hair and eccentric demeanor immediately catching everyone's attention.

"Hello, my little chipmunk!" he began with a dramatic flair, holding a rubber duck in one hand and gesturing wildly with the other. "We're so proud of you! You had done so great things around the show. Hey, remember the time when you made the whole Indiana Jones fandom cry? Hahahahaha. Ah, good times!"

Gwen, Heather, and Duncan chuckled at seeing Chris pouting from the way the man in front of the screen making fun of the revelation of what Lindsay had done on the last episode, and the blonde girl herself giggled sheepishly, knowing that she may have screwed up…

"Please darling, tell your friends to not ask why you didn't like the movies they love again, alright? I don't think they would survive because of the amazing intelligence you have." The man himself said proudly while some would be against that the man frowned at the screen. "Don't judge her, she is smarter than you will ever understand. Also, honey, I heard there will be a movie of Sherlock Holmes made with Robert Downey Jr. So I'm preparing to buy tickets for the debut on Holywood, Paula and Charlie already are preparing which clothes they are going to wear."

"Lucy, honey… I think it's best if you let us speak with Lindsay as well."Then a voice revealed which made both Chris, Duncan and even Owen have their mouths drop into seeing the blonde's mother, one of the most beautiful women in the world, step forward, her flowing blonde hair catching the light. She wore sparkling plum eyeshadow and dark magenta lipstick, her elegance contrasting with the chaos around her. The father grumbled a bit and let the woman speak for herself. "Lindsay, sweetheart, you're doing amazing! Just remember to stay true to yourself and be careful around those with stronger personalities. We're thrilled that Heather has been such a good mentor to you. We can't wait to see you and invite Heather and Beth over when this is all done!"

"Oh you are right Lily, I hope Beth likes ducks because I think farmers always get on my good side when they talk about which ducks they like most." Lucy gave his cheerful clap which the campers could realize where Lindsay's claps and way of act came from.

Suddenly, the camera shook as one of Lindsay's younger sisters, Charlie, burst into the frame, her long hair trailing behind her.

"Lindsay, we miss you so much! Stay strong and keep being the amazing person you are. And don't let anyone push you around, stand up for yourself, just like you always do!" She punched the air for emphasis, nearly knocking over a vase, which their mother quickly caught.

Paula, Lindsay's older sister, facepalmed as their father accidentally knocked over a stack of toy ducks behind of the video. She sighed but then smiled warmly at the camera.

"Lindsay, keep your head in the game and stay focused. You've got this! Remember, if you ever need to solve a problem, just think it through like we always do. The 100 thousand is almost on your hands, you can do this."

As the camera panned out, their father could be seen trying to pick up the toy ducks while juggling a few more, his grandiose and dramatic nature on full display.

"And don't forget my little chipmunk, we're always here for you! Make us proud!" He tossed a rubber duck into the air, and it landed perfectly on one of the ornate shelves behind him. Which in the end gave a little flip and when it opened it started spitting fire, which in the end made the group jump away from the man which turned the video off.

Everyone blinked, while Lindsay was shedding happy tears, and was ready to win the show.

"Wow, I have to say. I didn't expect that." Chris commented as he was being honest from seeing on even the family seemed to be normal by some standards, and he could imagine Lindsay being part of that family. "Now, Heather you are next."

At the time started the next video, Heather could see her parents above the couch as the room looked elegant, while a bit on the corner there was a lamp… The man on the left was a very elegant and rich man who seemed to be wearing a pink polo shirt with a crown logo on it, and a blue shirt, while on the other side of the couch was Heather's mom who seemed to be a well-matured version of her which seemed to be having a smile on her face, which made Duncan and Chris look at the Korean girl who usually had a frown on her face.

The woman was wearing a combination of caramel pants with a greener blouse on her… Her hair had the same colors as her daughter's while using a short haircut which made her so elegant.

"Hi, Heather Feather. It's Moomsie & Poopsie, we miss you so much." The father greeted his daughter in a cheerful way as his mother nodded her head in agreement. "My golf game has been really off since you have been gone."

While the father had explained that, the campers could see the chair being moved in front of the camera above the chair there was a photo portrait of Heather in a golden frame on it.

"Pedicure seems to be less…" The mother paused for a few seconds before she could find the right words to say. "Spiritual."

"Right, right." The father commented as he crossed his legs, while he then gave a smile to the camera. "But having you having so much fun with your new friends cheers us up. So be free to spend all the time you want with them,"

"They are also invited to come to visit us when you three want to spend a good part of the day shopping." The mother commented as she showed a good smile, and behind them, a man was carrying many shoes, and a group of men carrying a wardrobe. "Also we felt horrified with the terrible experiences you had to pass around the show."

"Well, my father says misery builds character, so you have become more mature my feather, I know you have more friends to pass the time with, so enjoy your teenage days and have fun while you win the show would yah?" The father gave a positive message while suddenly a man carrying the bed was placed in front of the couple.

"Hey, where do you want me to put the bed?" The person carrying the said furniture asked while Heather's mom looked horrified for being busted, while the father looked nervous.

"Whoopsie…it happened again Heather, he said he was sorry." That was the last thing the man of the house said when the video turned off, which made Chris hold his laughter but fail miserably.

Duncan blinked in disbelief, Gwen stared at the screen and then at Heather who had her face red with both embarrassment and anger.

"Wow, that explains everything… Well, almost, I'm curious about the last part." Gwen asked as she then saw Heather stomping her foot angrily.

"Damien, when I get my hands on you, I'm going to break your arms…" Heather said angrily as Lindsay stared at her friend in horror which made the queen bee try to calm herself down. "That little devil probably used an ink bomb in my bedroom and now they had to move all my stuff to the guest room until they fix everything."

"Oh," Lindsay said as Duncan and Chris laughed at Heather.

"Ah, a classic prank," Duncan said proud of the kid but looking at Heather who was staring at him, he placed both his hands on his kiwis because his instincts were calling for him to be quick and protect him.

"You are lucky for thinking fast. But I'm going to turn your community service a hell if I see you on the streets." Heather said angrily and Duncan scoffed at her, but he could sense she was indeed going to punch or kick his crotch… "You cannot hold your kiwis forever."

"I can try," Duncan replied as he saw the queen bee scoffing and returning to her place.

"Sometimes I hate my siblings." Heather snarled as Lindsay tapped behind her back in sympathy. Having friends indeed was great for the Queen Bee at that moment.

"Alright, it was fun, but now we need to do the last camper," Chris said as he was with the remote control on his hand. "Owen you're the last. Let's see."

A the moment the video started, there were two people on the camera, one who was extremely obese, sweaty, balding, and wearing glass, as he wore a blue and sweaty social shirt with a yellow strapped tie, while his weight was too much for the one side of the coach which made the woman on his side who was also chubby to be carried on the other side.

The woman had blonde long hair and pink lipstick on her lips, while her clothes were simply a pink blouse and a purple skirt, which made both look formal…

"Hey Owen, this is your folks. You what is your folks isn't it?" Owen's father and his mother waved as the group was surprised to hear the deep voice of the big man's father. And on the next second, they could see where his way of talking came from since the father himself was misspelling his words. "Oh this is stupid, can we start over?"

The mother on the other hand smiled as she rolled her eyes.

"They say the camera adds ten pounds oh but I don't see it at all. I think you look terrific." The espouse said to the man who pulled his tie from being uncomfortable.

"I see them," Heather murmured when she felt an elbow from her sides, which came from both Gwen and Lindsay and the queen bee rolled her eyes but remained with her mouth shut.

"Son, that episode where you burp the entire alphabet I don't think I've ever been prouder to be your father." The man said as the woman then coughed on her fist. Which made the man compose himself. "But also your mother got very disappointed in you when you made that girl cry, so you better apologize to her okay son?"

Owen nodded his head, as he was feeling happy with the message of how his family wanted the best of him...

"Oh yeah, Max came here to stay for a few weeks and he wants to give you a message." The mother said those words, and Owen's smile froze and then his pupils shrank as he stared at the screen…

The campers and the host of the show saw a teenager with purple bowl-cut hair and wearing a lab jacket. As he looked evilly at the camera.

"Salutations Owen, I Max Mayhem found myself in these terrible circumstances while I tried to replicate the biggest weapon of mankind, which I'm still giving a few tests on the future, which I'm grounded for passing the time with your family," Max explained as Owen felt his face pale into knowing which weapon he was trying to replicate, and the dread feeling was coming for his stomach. "But in the meantime, I was forced to watch this show with your family, and I never realized how proud you made me of you my cousin…"

Owen's mouth dropped as he looked confused at his cousin.

"Yes, sacrificing your minions for the purpose of survival, you took the trust of the crazy girl, and pushed to your enemies as you prepared yourself for the survivor… That's what we evil geniuses do with our minions. And I see a great potential for you Owen, to become evil just like me…" Max said as Owen's face froze and saw the boy trying to do an evil laugh, but failing spectacularly which made the campers roll their eyes. "Well, you could have the few countries that I wouldn't want, but in the future when I conquer the world, you could be a mayor in one of the cities which I don't like. We as an evil family."

"Awww, look at him, Max is really happy for his cousin." Owen's mother commented as the video turned off, which made everyone look funny at what was supposed to be a joke…

Owen on the other hand.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO." Owen dramatically screamed as he felt himself the worst scum of the earth, at a point that made everyone jump away from him. And the big man crawled on the floor and got into a fetal position. "I'm a monster, a MONSTER, I BECAME A VILLAIN LIKE MAX, I DON'T DESERVE TO BE ON THIS SHOW."

"Owen, knock it off," Heather said as she kicked his butt, but nothing happened, as the fat man was crying rivers, as he felt disgusted with himself. Heather glanced at Duncan who just shrugged.

"Come on Owen, it's not real. What do you t…" Gwen was about to say that boy's wasn't to be taken seriously but Owen interrupted her.

"He said he is trying to make the stink bomb."At the time Owen said those words, Gwen and Duncan froze, and then narrowed their eyes…

"Okay, he may be someone to be careful to be around," Gwen commented as she never wanted to deal with someone creating El Mongo and La Muerte again, Duncan would remember that as he could see the big guy being ashamed of himself.

"I thought it was for survival, but I never thought I would become the only person I feared most. Max is the evil genius and the evil supreme, and I do everything I can to stop him."Owen said dramatically while Chris was making sure to let that scene being recorded to the pay-per-view, and even the episodes after to make fun of it…

That boy Max really scares Owen, and he would have a lot of fun with it. So he will remember that name in the future.

"Alright everyone, you guys got the motivation you need for the next challenges. So have fun into those 2 days off, and prepare yourself for what's coming in the future." Chris smiled as some campers had no other thing to say, but to accept what happened. They got a surprise, some got what they wanted and needed, others got humiliated and a reason to be ashamed of…

What will happen in the future, nobody knows.

(Playa Del Losers)

"It was a big surprise when Eva came up with DJ, I thought she would still need to be a few more weeks before being discharged from the hospital." Courtney commented as both she and Bridgette walked the corridors of the resort, going directly to one specific suite in mind."I mean, I'm really happy to see her not being in such a dangerous situation, I mean, it was a serial killer and he stabbed her a lot of times."

"Yes, but knowing Eva, she made a bear into a female, and broke both arms and legs of the said killer, I think that she is the definition of what doesn't kill you makes you stronger," Bridgette replied as she walked with her new haircut made by one member of her team, who knew Harold gave so much work for the blonde member of their team to have a great haircut for her, she never thought she would look amazing with curtain bangs, but since Harold had helped his friends, Geoff had his mouth dropped and they kissed so much that it was worth it the hot sauce spray on their faces, it was burning but it was also hot to enjoy their kisses together. But still, the pain remained, but it was worth it at that time. "But I just hope that she doesn't do more of that because it had been a terrifying experience,"

Courtney nodded at her friend, as the brown-haired girl also got a new haircut that she knew Duncan would lose cool, Harold surpassed himself as he made an unravel haircut on her, which made her usual boring hairstyle become wilder and let a good wild and attractive look appear on the usual girl who always sticks for the rules. But knew that if the delinquent saw her with that new look, he would give her the same treatment Geoff gave to Bridgette, she used the whole bottle, not just because she was jealous of her friend... It was because they were 20 minutes making out, non-stop, yeah, that had been the reason and not because of jealousy.

"You don't have to tell me twice, I'm just glad Chris had the good sense and decided to hire police as security guards for the show, while I think that's a bit too late, it shows that at least he cares that nobody dies," Courtney commented as she could see the true reason behind the host idea of doing disclaimer and saying they are going to have more medical assistance and security. "I would have made a lot of lawsuits from risking our lives like that. A serial killer? Seriously? After that challenge, nobody was the same."

"I agree, I'm just glad that everyone is okay now, Eva as much she looked bandaged she seems better than the time she left the island." Bridgette agreed as the duo seemed happy to be in front of a door. "Do you have the keys?"

"Yep, he asked me to take his sketches which are in the drawer near the typewriter." Courtney nodded her head, and Bridgette smiled as she turned her back on the door. "Do you want to help to catch it?"

"Nah, it's just a few sketches, and I think someone needs to tell the others if they think we are snooping around." The surfer replied as she showed it had been a good point since in any kind of circumstances the group could try to say they have invaded his privacy so it would be best to explain to the others before they give any stupid ideas around their minds.

"That's a very smart idea. I will not take long." Courtney said as she got inside the room, and from the time she saw, the bed itself felt a bit messed and even a few blankets were not organized, however when she looked on the desk where the typewriter was the papers were organized, even a few set of papers, paperclips, and even pencil and pens were organized in a specific order. "I can't believe it, the bed was messed but when it comes to work he is well organized and clean. I have no idea what crosses the boy's mind. At least it will be easy to find."

Courtney opened the drawer and there was the set of drawing sketches, Courtney was impressed by how the boy had been focusing on drawing himself on the paper and even made a few different sets of clothing she had her eyebrows raised impressed by his work.

"I can't wait to see if Katie can make something like this." Courtney smiled as she was about to leave when she saw on the corner of the desk, a green gift with a tie on the floor, which made the girl roll her eyes, take the tie, and place it inside the box, but at the moment she opened it, she had her eyes wide open in surprise...

A Green G String Panties, which made her blink, and then she saw a picture of HOLYSHIT.

Courtney's face became scarlet from seeing a nude pose giving a blowing kiss on the picture, and immediately placed the photo inside of the gift closed the box, and let it drop all the sketches on the floor, which she immediately got clumsy and tried to organize then as she walks fast outside of the bedroom.

At the time Courtney got out of the door, she opened with too much strength which made Bridgette jump in her place.

"Courtney," Bridgette said scared as she looked at the C.I.T. girl who was with a face full of scarlet and devoid of emotion. "What happened to you girl?"

"I don't want to talk about it," Courtney said as she decided to prove that indeed her friends Ezekiel and Izzy had something, but not like that, using that kind of information was too personal, and it was shameful for her to share with anyone. She had the right idea, but with that information, how she could tell the others about Ezekiel having a naked picture of Izzy without saying like a pervert or worse, a girl who invaded his privacy? "I'm not going back there."

"What do you mean?" Bridgette asked as Courtney was still with her face blushing madly almost like burning. "What happened? Why are you blushing so much? Courtney?"

Courtney ignored the calling as she was doing her best to make sure to tune down the thoughts she was having across the gift, panties, a bra, and a picture, she knew that they were on the right track, but now she needed to find better clues without making her look like a pervert or someone who invaded their private life.

While Bridgette tilted her head and wanted to ask about what made the girl like that and what made her blush madly, now the curiosity made her look at the bedroom for a few seconds, but the conscience she had in her mind made her shake her head and return to their friends who were waiting for them on the pool, she is curious if Katie was indeed going to do some good work on new clothes for Ezekiel.

But still, she wanted to know why Courtney was blushing so much.

What a crazy morning.
