Author's Note: Well gotta say that this one was kinda hard to write it, because never thought one episode would be so boring for me to write, so I had to come up with a lot of improves and ideas for me to try to make this work... I hope you guys like this idea for a chapter. Because I passed more time thinking and debating what I should do to make it better than the actual episode with new characters. So I hope you guys have fun.
MatiasND .I'm glad that you liked on how I wrote the chapter, and trust me, Ezekiel did was devious but yet the safest strategy for make nobody angry at him, he had the right to place the blame on the parrot, which nobody can blame him for that now... He used the right time for that. But anyway, nobody would ever expect being Duncan the eliminated, so I thought about this since Janurary. And my friends are witness of that, because I wanted to make it as one of the best plot twists over the show, and it seems to work. XD
OverLord Wang-Yu. I'm glad that you liked the chapter, and I cannot reveal the spoilers on who is going to win, but I can tell that Ezekiel will focus mostly on his books, Ben ten would be only written the important episodes and not the fillers, so practically most of the movies are fillers, while comic books it isn't his style, but more like a graphic novel where he makes a page drawing the characters while the rest is always the story written. And he will participate on World Tour, but in All Stars... Hahahaha, I have one crazy idea that it will surprise everyone.
BrightNova169. Well I'm glad you like the chapter, and yeah, Ezekiel now is having Eva as a personal trainer lol, but he isn't going to be bulky, his style of training was more focused in internal muscles, since they are on the beach, and Ezekiel uses the weights for everything, as walking slowly, eating slowly, trying to make his muscles stress and relax, while training everything from the inside, he lost weight, but didn't develop muscles on outside, that was the main focus of my training for him. And you are almost right, Ezekiel wrote 3 books in 2 years because he had to not only work on his books, but also help his parents with the farm, but if you give him a lot of free time, he could write a book in 7 to 8 months... Thankfully Noah helped him to edit his chapters who cut out a lot of time and made it even faster for the boy. So who knows on how Ezekiel will deal with the new books he is going to publish when it becomes a success. XD And I have to agreed that Duncan may be hating the parrot, but that animal disappeared after that episode, so he is going to be very angry, and Eva isn't angry with bears anymore, since she punished the only bear who did that... Heather on other hand, I can see her hating mooses lol.
Sleepy Guest . Hahahahahahahah, your idea of Trent punishment being by the classic chasing song was funny, but when I thought about Trent suffering punishment from the other campers, Twelfth Street Rag (Spongebob funnies ost) had in my mind, specially Trent having to eat the dirty pancakes was hilarious. Anyway have fun reading this chapter.
Just Guest. Oh trust me, Chris will had it coming and he will never be the same after that. XD Well about the others cartoons versions across that universe I don't know, depends if I get inspired into doing it for funny jokes as there would be very interesting background characters for the main campers, but who knows? Maybe someday I will write more about them when it makes sense on the context of the fanfic I'm doing. Anyway have fun reading this chapter.
BurstEvolution9000 . Well he had all the right to be angry, I mean, nobody ever expected him to being eliminated like that, not even Ezekiel and Izzy, and they knew the future.
Wolfang21. I'm so glad that you liked the chapter, and I agreed, Chris will have what it's his, and Duncan is angry with reason... And well, about Leshawna, I cannot reveal what is about to happen. But she shouldn't have said that, because now everyone is aware of what she said about Harold and Heather, what she could say in the future could be terrible... And you know what I mean... And I'm glad you liked of my version of steven universe, and I don't plan to actually write a whole fanfic of it, just little scenes to publish on this fanfic like part of Ezekiel's book, and one thing I want to make sure is... I want to make Amethist sees Greg Universe like an older brother, since she was almost like a child of 5 years old when she saw Greg for the first time, so I want to think her rebel style she learned from his rock star nature... And let's be honest... Greg X Blue and Yellow and White Diamond, the Charm of Mr. Universe never fails. But not children anymore hahahahahaha. Have fun reading the new chapter.
bardockfloo. I can't believe it that they place Maradona on the Spanish Argentina dub version of it, me as Brazillian I'm reading that in disbelief, but hey, what can I do? Anyway, Courage indeed is special for every single one of us, it made us cry even in our adulthood. And I agreed with you. I like so much to write on this fanfic, that it's kinda weird to still see on how the cannon went too cruel with every single character, and how the craziness affected everyone. I hope you like this chapter.
Mr. E Guest. I'm glad that you like the chapter. While I don't plan to write the Steven Universe fanfic or anything. I will just write scenes when I want to show Ezekiel publishing it, like showing to his friends the scenes they ever want to read. Anyway, have fun with this chapter
HeavenlyMark. Thanks for enjoying the full main course, and here is the dessert.
duskrider . The answers you seek lays on this chapter, have fun. XD
starsephirot. Yes he does speak other languages, like many does, in my theory maybe that happens when the people cross around the world tour since they visit a lot of countries and they learned their language while flying. I don't know, but yeah a few campers speak more than their usual language.
Benny Farr . Yeah, that was an irony twist, since they started so well, but knowing the chaos of the show, it seems they are going to have a very hard time from now on.
Guest99 . Thank you for liking the chapter, and to answer your question... I was inspired to write about CodyXKatie because 1- I loved how what a dramatic life created such an interesting ship, and I liked how it had a great opportunity to develop the pair, so I decided to do that, and I liked what I did... and 2- I hate Sierra, I hate her with all my life, she is the worst kind of stalker that they created as a Karmatic joke for Cody, and while I understand that he is a simp and a kinda crazy pervert on the weird way he was created on the first season... Sierra was in a point that if was a man on the show, everyone would call him a freak and a terrible person because the way she acted there was no way it was natural. I never liked her, and I find horrible people shipping them since Cody decided to just to be friends with her after all the journey they had on the show. So that's why I created her as a troll to make everyone from the Killer Bass have her as a target... And about the helluva boss fanfics... I think I will stop following the plot of the main helluva boss plot and from now on make the plot focused on the Hazbin Hotel with Moxxie, because I got spoilers of the last episode, and I saw something which was the last straw for me, and I got so angry that I decided that I will stop writing about the main plot of helluva boss, and maybe continue writing my fanfics related on Moxxie going on more of Hazbin Hotel, like Guns of Eternal Embers: A Hellish Romance , Hell's Bells, Second Childhood, Bele's Buzzy Bee and etc... The second season really messed up the way I liked to watch Helluva Boss, and maybe that's the choice I should follow... Sorry, I hope this answers your question...
Now, let's focus on this fanfic. Have fun reading everyone. And enjoy this chapter.
"Hey, Duncan." A voice made the delinquent who was drinking a coconut water alone, turn his head, to see one person who actually he was less annoyed to see. The boy who even with his new haircut was still using his iconic green winter hat and one person he would always be glad to call a friend. "Feeling better?"
"Pff, if you mean feeling better by crashing many chairs, slamming the door of those traitors who just took out of my chance of 100 thousand dollars, and then planning my revenge by pranking them while I'm alone on this chair, drinking coconut water?" Duncan commented sarcastically as he rolled his eyes, and then narrowed to the home-schooled boy. "I'm crying in happiness."
"Pff, dude, shit happens, and Chris would always find a reason to torment and create a good drama for the sake of making ratings happen," Ezekiel commented as he could understand why Duncan was annoyed. Because of a misunderstanding Katie and Sadie created a domino effect, which accidentally made Courtney vote on her boyfriend, and then when the parrot came to say his name everything went downhill, even as Trent accidentally said his name.
Duncan indeed did show how angry he was when he got on the playa del losers, by trashing the place when he got on the Playa Del Losers, so many chairs and tables and he even managed to launch crabs and lobsters across the pool whenever he saw Katie and Sadie, which made the girls paranoid to go at the water for a while. Trent woke up in front of everyone naked, since Duncan was in taste of revenge, and had the help of DJ, Geoff, and even Harold to bring the bed of the guitarist and place it in front of the pool.
Which left some campers to laugh, as Trent had to run back to his bedroom and dress himself.
Harold, Geoff, and DJ helped Duncan because they felt bad about what happened, and thankfully they could blame the parrot, while Courtney, Katie, Sadie, and Trent couldn't say the same.
"Well, whatever… you are not going to try to make me forgive them. Aren't you?" Duncan said as he narrowed his eyes at him, and Ezekiel rolled his eyes.
"Nah, I'm just stating the facts they are sorry, Sadie and DJ are baking a cake because everything happened because they thought it was your birthday. Katie is making a new T-shirt for you as an apology gift… And Trent is willing to accept the pranks because he felt he kinda deserved for that one." Ezekiel commented as the delinquent nodded his head, and since most of the campers were afraid to be in the same area as him. Ezekiel was the only one who could talk to him without being in fear. "And thankfully this dirt is not on my hands because the parrot was the cause of that shit happening."
"Okay, I get it…" Duncan commented as he lay on the chair and sighed… "I'm still trying to figure out what to do with Courtney."
"Well, she messed up, she knows she did, and is very sorry about what happened. Since you saw everything she really is grateful for what you did for her. And you saw her mother also did for you." Ezekiel stated the facts, as the delinquent couldn't help but sigh in agreement. "And she kinda is desperate to do a crazy thing as a way to compensate you for that."
"Like what?" Duncan asked as he got curious about what his girlfriend would do to compensate for her screw-up.
"Like this…" Then a bored and annoyed tone was loud enough to make Duncan have his eyes wide open and stare in disbelief at Courtney who was wearing a Beaver Mascot Costume. Which had dark yellow fur, and a blue nose on his face… "Norbit the Izzy's Happy SAP's mascot… I think a good way to prank myself and make you laugh would be me wearing this costume for a few days."
Duncan blinked in disbelief, and then he tried not to laugh, but the chuckles coming from his mouth were enough to make him start to laugh.
"Okay, if you stay like this for a whole week, then I forgive you," Duncan commented as he laughed at his girlfriend's expertise, and Ezekiel was happy that at least the duo of boyfriend and girlfriend could be together once again…
(?)
Keith stood just outside the classroom door, taking deep breaths to steady his nerves.
"Okay, Keith, you are going to be fine. All you need to do is talk to Sky and ask her if she can help you with today's homework. I know she'd be interested," he muttered to himself, the words a mantra he'd repeated countless times over the past few weeks. Every time he gathered the courage to approach her, something always seemed to get in the way. But today would be different. Today, he would finally ask her.
.
.
.
Keith walked into the classroom and looked around, his eyes immediately landing on Sky's empty desk. And after what it passed what would be an hour, his heart sank, since the usual desk she would always appear remained empty.
"Why isn't she here?" he wondered aloud, not realizing he'd spoken until Eliza, a girl from the cheerleading squad, looked up from her conversation.
"Hey, Keith, why are you staring so much at that empty desk?" she asked, her tone curious rather than mocking.
"Err..." Keith stammered, feeling the heat rise in his cheeks. "I was just wondering where Sky is. She's usually here by now."
"Oh, right. I hadn't noticed," Eliza replied, glancing at the empty seat. "That's weird. Sky never misses class."
"Oh, she's probably at the bookstore. You know, one of the Total Drama Island contestants published a book, and Sky and some others from the gymnastics team said they'd be going to the bookstore today."One of their classmates chimed in, since most of the class knew about the little group who watches the reality show always debated the episodes around the class, and since some already watched the episode from the day before, it seemed everyone who was a hardcore fan, including Sky who had photographs of the show on her lockerroom, decided to skip class and go to buy a book.
"So she's not coming to school at all?" Keith's shoulders slumped. As even as handsome he was, girls always went to talk to him, it was like a mystery why of all the girls, Sky was the only one who never had too much time to be with him.
"Doesn't look like it."Eliza shook her head. She was also surprised to know about what happened from all the new information as well, she watched the last episode, and she forgot there would be a group of people who would want to buy the first book from the boy who seemed to be the writer of the show.
Keith sighed, feeling the universe's cruel joke pressing down on him once again. He slumped into his seat, staring dejectedly at his unopened notebook. It felt like every time he tried to talk to Sky, something got in the way. He couldn't help but think back to all the other times he'd tried and failed.
1. Keith had seen Sky at her locker and had started to walk over when a group of cheerleaders swarmed her, dragging her off to practice before he could say a word.
2. He had almost made it to her table when the fire alarm went off, and the entire school had to evacuate.
3. He had waited for her to finish talking to a teacher, only for the janitor to start cleaning the classroom and shoo him out before he could approach her.
"It's like the universe doesn't want me to talk to her," Keith shook his head, trying to dispel the memories. He felt like the universe had a twisted sense of humor, and Keith was its favorite punchline.
(?)
The line outside the bookstore snaked around three city blocks, a sea of eager fans buzzing with anticipation under the early morning sun. Sky and her older sister Jane stood near the front, having arrived hours before dawn to secure their spots. Jane, a seasoned reader and admirer of literary talent, was genuinely excited about Ezekiel's debut book, Courage the Cowardly Dog.
"You know, Sky," Jane remarked, as she drank a cup of coffee at that time of the morning and she scanned the crowd, "We've been following Ezekiel's journey since he started on that reality show. It's not every day you see a homeschooled kid from nowhere land a publishing deal. It's inspiring."
And suddenly she heard an awkward burp from her sister who suddenly coughed and then nodded enthusiastically, her eyes flickering towards the bookstore entrance.
"Yeah, he's really something. His stories, his perspective of the way he tells them, and how DJ felt so engaged to actually grow up as a person, I never thought he would be that far on the show, but it seems those stories really made him more than ready for fighting his fears. They're so unique. And now that this book is finally published... I can't wait to read it." Sky commented as she was feeling excited, knowing that would be the debut of Ezekiel as a good writer, and the more she wanted to know about him, his creative process, and how a horror book could also be wholesome, she never found a genre like that.
"Tell me about it, I have to say that Ezekiel yesterday seemed way different from when he started on the first episode. He got a haircut and even became slimmer than in the first episode, which I think after training with Eva he looked healthier. Do you think in a few months he will get more muscles?" Jane asked as she was curious about how the boy seemed to be always wearing weights from the last episode, and from his skill of having an easier time holding a bow and arrow.
*Buuuuuurp*
A loud burp made Jane then turn her eyes at her sister who was with her head blushing a few tones of red, which made the older sister raise her eyebrows. Every time Jane continued sharing her admiration for Ezekiel's literary achievements, she noticed a peculiar pattern.
"Every time I mention Ezekiel's name, you seem to..."
Before Jane could finish her sentence, Sky's face flushed crimson, and she let out an awkward burp.
"Excuse me," she muttered sheepishly, avoiding Jane's amused gaze. Which made Jane finally notice the pattern once again, it took a long time, but it seemed that enough was enough.
Jane stifled a laugh, her curiosity piqued.
"Hmm, interesting. You only burp when Ezekiel's name comes up. Sky, do you have something to share?" As an older sister, she knew when her sister was, but it became quite clear that something was going on with her sister, and now she was interested... To Sky's dismay, she tried so much to hide that information.
"It's nothing, really. Just... excitement, I guess."Sky's cheeks burned hotter, torn between embarrassment and reluctance. She tried to deny it, but from looking at her sister's face in amusement, she felt she was doing a terrible job of deflecting.
"Excitement, huh? Come on, Sky. I've known you long enough to recognize a crush when I see one." Jane raised an eyebrow knowingly.
"It's not like that. I mean, he's talented, sure. But it's not..."Sky fidgeted with her backpack strap, trying to deflect. She could feel that every time she was trying to think about the issue, her stomach always grumbled and flipped which didn't help her at all. And Jane leaned closer to her with a playful grin. It didn't help her case at all.
"Not like you've been dreaming of meeting him, getting your book signed, and maybe getting a glimpse of that free spirit smile he sometimes gives on TV?" Jane commented as she could see the way the boy always talked about it. He seemed to be always having fun whenever the craziness happened to him, even as the challenges were hard, or even in case he was on rock bottom, he always would make sure to give the best speech for his friends for them to always fight together and more important have fun and follows their principles. And that was a speech that always touched her and especially her sister as well.
"Okay, fine. Maybe a little."Sky admitted as she sighed, knowing she couldn't hide her feelings from her sister, it had been a pattern as her sister guessed. "You think that I'm acting stupid, aren't you?"
"Not at all," Jane chuckled softly, squeezing Sky's shoulder affectionately. "Nothing wrong with that, Sky. Just remember, today's about celebrating his book. And who knows? Maybe someday when he goes to sign his books, you'll finally get to meet him in person."
The line inched forward, bringing them closer to the bookstore's entrance. Sky stole another glance at the bustling crowd, her heart fluttering with a mix of nerves and anticipation. Since they were luckily the first one of the line, it was what she wanted, to give a chance for herself to know more about him... Call it a celebrity crush, but she felt that she could at least meet him someday. And not going overboard like some of the crazy fandom girls from the forum that she looked at... CodyLover was indeed a crazy fan who always would try to do everything to mess up with Cody and Katie and Leshawna and Harold since their relationships looked stable, and she promised to herself that she wouldn't go overboard like the others...
But sometimes she thought that everything was useless since her life wasn't like movies, and since he was a celebrity on a reality show, many girls who could be more beautiful than her would try to catch his attention...
All she had to do was to contempt herself with a book and maybe him signing for her someday.
*QUACK.*
Both Jane and Sky almost jumped as they noticed there was a Canadian Duck in the front line, front of them... The girls forgot that the duck itself had been in the front of the line, and when Jane tried to walk further, the duck made a sound that made both sisters surprised and step back...
The duck was there as it looked at the store like it was also waiting in the line... And behind his neck, there was a little muslin bag...
"Ops sorry," Sky commented as the Canadian Duck stared intently at the sisters until turned it's back, let the muslin bag fall on the floor, and using its beak, pointed at it... "Err, do you want me to see it?"
The duck nodded its head, which made the gymnast and the older sister stare weirdly at it, but then by shrugging, Sky opened the muslin bag which revealed to have money and a note on it.
Sky looked at the duck, then at the store, and she could guess what the duck was doing on the front line. But then just to confirm it, she decided to take a look at the paper and her eyes looked surprised at the message.
(For a person who is at the cashier, or a person who is waiting in line, Howard is tasked to bring me the book Courage of Cowardly Dog, since I'm unable to cross around the roads until the right time on the line, I did give him this task because I trust he would find the right store.
The money is in the bag, and I trust in your judgment to make it the right price and give me the change money... Since it had been my allowance for 2 months, I wanted to be sure that it was enough money to buy the book.
Please if you are in the front line, please, buy me the book as well and give me the bag with the book for Howerd to bring me... He is very smart, so he knows when someone is trying to trick him...)
Sky paused as she gave a look at the duck who was using his wing to point at his eyes and then pointing at the gymnast and her sister like it was watching them both... Before Sky continued reading the note.
(He is a very trustworthy family friend of mine, so I know that you are going to do the right thing. And I wish Mother Nature bless you for your help and your good heart. And I will wait patiently and hopefully to read the book made by Ezekiel from Total Drama Island. Please...
From the girl of the forest... the moon child, Dawn...)
Sky blinked a few times, and Jane decided to read once again, which made Sky blink and ask her sister.
"Err... Jane, was this duck here at the time we came?" Sky asked as the older sister tilted her head, and looked at the duck who was waiting patiently at the time of the bookstore to open, there was one truth that they never thought they would ever imagine.
"Yeah, he was here before us," Jane commented as she felt surprised, shocked and in disbelief. "A duck was the first on the line."
"Yeah..." Sky looked at the duck, and she couldn't help it. "It's fair, you were the first of the line. I will buy the book for you to take to her."
Howard quivered its beak, and both sisters couldn't help but wonder how a girl like Dawn managed to make a Canadian Duck cross the city just to find the bookstore and ask them to buy a book for her.
Life was weird.
.
.
.
"Okay, I think that's good for you to go," Sky said as she gave the plastic bag where the duck placed on its beak... She made sure to have 3 of them to sustain the weight of the book while it looked like it would be a long flight. Which the Canadian duck appreciated.
"And it seems it had 20 dollars of change, so make sure to not drop it okay?" Jane commented as she could have sworn the duck scoffed at her. "Hey, don't be rude."
Howard scoffed once again but then nodded in appreciation for the help of both sisters. And with a quick salute, the duck took flight and left both sisters staring at the duck flying in the morning.
"That was by far the weirdest thing I've ever done," Jane commented as she felt happy to have her own book in her hands, and the same could be said for her sister. She gave a slight look at the content of the book inside the store, and she could see why Ezekiel gave so much love and care to the book, there was a page of each story where it's dedicated to each villain, from a drawing of each monster he placed on the first volume, for them to not only use their imagination but also having a graphic view on how horrifying and how many challenges Courage had to deal with his adventure in a farm in the middle of nowhere. "I can't wait to read this at my break from work today."
"Oh yeah, you will be going to work. Sorry for making you wake up this early with me." Sky said as her big sister scoffed at her like the duck did to her.
"Are you kidding? I was excited to see it, it was very much hype, and from the way the campers were so eager, I wanted to give it a try. And I'm sure that this will be interesting. Now that you ditched school for today, you better enjoy this day off, while after tomorrow we are going to watch the new episode, and be ready for what's going to happen." Jane commented as she gave a hug to her sister, and looking at the hour, they both needed to be in a hurry, one to go home to read the book, while the other going to be at her temporary job until she found a better one. "Now let's go, I already dealt with the craziness for a whole day."
"Alright, and from the look of every one of the lines. It seems it will take hours for them to get their own." Sky commented as both sisters felt good luck on their side, and since they were the first one... sand Howard the Canadian Duck, they knew that not only them but also Dawn whoever she was had the good right to being the first girl to have the book from that region...
Wondering who Dawn is, and how strange she must be to make a duck to buy a book for her.
(?)
"Thank you, Howard, your help is very appreciated." The soft voice of the aura reader was enough for the duck to know that she was being honest about her gratitude for him since she had for the little friend of feathers. As the girl of nature placed a little bag of bread crumbs, enough for the duck to feed his whole family for a few days. "I hope this is enough to pay you for all your hard work."
*Quack* *Quack*
"Oh, I'm so glad. Now, I don't want you to waste more of your time, your girlfriend must be worried sick about you. And thank you once again for your help." Dawn smiled as the Canadian Duck nodded its head and quickly flew back to the forest. "And now... it's only me, this book, and you Mother Nature... can you tell me where Howard went?"
The silence of the defining nature made the moon girl remain in silence until slowly had her eyes open from the revelation.
"Oh... it seems that I'm not the only one who felt impacted by the show... especially the case of the coincidence of Howard finding a girl who also had a crush on the same boy as me..." Dawn commented sadly, as she felt herself in a pickle... "Mother Nature, what should I do?"
.
.
.
"What do you mean it's a surprise depending on my decision?" Dawn asked, not sure why Mother Nature was so mysterious, and to make things even more confusing. "Why are you laughing Mother Nature?"
Dawn asked as it seemed the leaves and the wind themselves sounded funny as the way they moved around the house. And from the curious gaze, she knew that she couldn't get her answer... But she knows Mother Nature will remember the person Howard just found like she was fated to meet her someday. And everything she could do was to trust Mother Nature and live her life.
"Okay, I'm going to read the book, call me if you need me okay?" Dawn commented as she went to her secluded bedroom, and opened the first chapter showing a picture of an anthropomorphic red cat who has a sinister and mysterious persona. He looked sophisticated, a calm demeanor contrasted with his malevolent intentions... Indeed it surprised Dawn how a person could make a sweet animal like a cat shows a very villainous and cruel side from making the first chapter named... "Katz Hotel... hmm, let's see what is it about..."
"Holyshit, this Katz is horrifying," Sky commented as she was still reading the first chapter of the book, she never thought a cat who could make a collection of mortal spiders would be something that would creep her out, and from seeing that sport would be simple and yet with a lot of pressure for her to participate, it was just beating the ball with her hand, and hit the wall... "I'm curious about how long I would be able to keep up."
Sky always wondered what would be such a first chapter, and indeed was something that she never realized, the hype was indeed met, and the book indeed reached their expectations or even surpassed, since the first chapter, already had an impact that nobody would ever expect. And Sky really felt a feeling in her stomach, as she couldn't help but admit that indeed she had a crush on her idol, a boy who didn't have much, just a simple typewriter and a dream which she knew that possibly became true...
She already got his book, so maybe someday she would have the opportunity to have him sign up.
And while she lost a day of school, at least she knew what she did was worth it, so maybe someday, if she had a good opportunity, she would like to meet him up. Maybe someday.
"Jane are okay?" A person asked as he asked the girl in the college who was having a lunch break and was in shambles and sniffing without a pause, she was holding a tissue in her hands, as she was reading one of the most beautiful things in her life.
"I'm fine, I'm just reading this book and I didn't know how to react to it. It really catches me by surprise." Jane said as the boy looked at the cover of the book of a pink beagle... And stared at her in disbelief. Jane took a few minutes to compose herself. "The henchmen of nowhere really hit me in my feels, and I'm not even in the middle of the chapter."
The person tilted his head, and he just shrugged.
"Well, suit yourself, I'm going to be eating my lunch over here." The boy commented as his classmate nodded her head and returned to read the chapter.
A few minutes later, the person was eating his mac'n cheese when suddenly the girl in front of him was in shambles and didn't have tears in her eyes anymore. But like a 180-degree change, the boy had no idea what to expect.
"Pfff AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." Jane laughed so hard that the boy jumped on his seat, and stared at the girl who was just laughing without control. "Damn Courage that was savage."
The cafeteria stared at the native descendent losing control of her laughers.
"What the hell is wrong with you Jane?" A boy who came from the back of the cafeteria commented as his voice made Jane stop laughing, and then her face turned into a frown. "Couldn't you keep your mouth shut for a whole hour? You stupid Asian..."
The boy gave a slight remark, and Jade frowned deeply, as the other girls and boys took offense from that comment. And the boy knew that she wasn't Asian but she was a part of a native Canadian, from the Cree Clan who had been there even before his grandparents were born...
And since that boy never cared about what he could say in front of the whole cafeteria... There was something he had in common with Eustace, which made Jane have a smile on her face.
"What are you smiling?" The boy commented as Jane decided to take her sunglasses with her... And take a deep look at the book.
Clearing her throat, she decided to give it a try.
"And you sir, are extremely..." Jane commented as she then placed the book down and looked calmly in the eyes. Placing both hands together as politely can be. "Bald."
...
The boy from the other side of the cafeteria froze, and stared at her as his eyes were twitching like he was going to have a seizure, while the other students there remained in silence... but some of them couldn't help but release their laughs.
"Pff HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." The Asian students shamelessly laughed while the bald boy stared angrily at the girl who was just staring politely at her.
"Oh yeah? Look here you stupid bitch, that's not an issue if you will never find a boy with that bitch attitude." The boy remarked as to even insult her, and while Jane would want to grit her teeth, she once again took her glasses and read once again the book.
"And you sir... are extremely..." Jane commented as she did exactly the same thing, placed both her hands over the table, and stared at the boy. "Bald."
"Ughhh." The boy facepalmed angrily as the whole cafeteria was laughing at him. "Oh yeah? So why don't you go fuck around and leave this college like a whore like you are... I heard they are paying a good price for a cheap girl like you."
The more the boy insulted, the more he wanted to make Jane angry at him... But when he saw her once again reading the book, he was ready to have anything she would say... but not that.
"Are you bald?" Jane asked as she then let the book over the table, and then pointed at him. "YES!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." Which was enough to make the whole cafeteria laugh at the expertise of the boy who got enough and flipped the table which hit some of the other students.
"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? WHO TRASHED THE CAFETERIA?" That was enough to make Principal Hector walk towards the cafeteria and make many point their fingers at the boy who seemed to lose control again. "Igor, this is the last straw, I told you that any time you would flip like that, I have no choice but to call your father."
That was enough to make the delinquent boy pale.
"Please Principal Hector, don't do that, if my father comes here, he will send me to military school," Igor commented in despair, but the Principal had enough of his excuses.
"I have no choice, now you will come with me, and not more buts." The Principal said as he took the boy by the arm which he tried to fight, but the difference in their sizes was enough to make the boy understand that he couldn't escape from his grip. "I know your father had more patience with you than me, but enough is enough. You will come with me, boy..."
After a whole minute, the silence was interrupted by the cheers of the students who were freed from the asshole who had annoyed them for so long. While Jane kissed the book as a gratitude for a good idea. Indeed a book that is a terror but with wholesome and funny endings.
Now she couldn't wait to read the whole book and the next volume when it came.
2 days later, the sisters and the moon child returned to their living rooms and decided to watch the next episode of their favorite show.
"Last time on Total Drama Island." Chris created the presentation as he once again showed the flashback of what would be of the last episode. "In a one-hour special episode, we visited the kicked-off campers at the Resort of Rejects. Playa Del Losers! We learned about how Ezekiel not only recovered but also managed to publish his first book which seems to be a good way to start his career as a writer, Bridgette and Geoff are still going strong... however their friends creating limits to their interaction with their new hot sauce spray... I should have thought about that."
Chris snapped his fingers as he smirked from losing his idea while showing the flashback of everything happening at the five-star resort.
"Katie and Sadie even as they departed and developed very different lifestyles, still shared the same brain. Leshawna created a rivalry with a fan on the forum of the show, which had been a lot of discussion and pettiness into proving how to anger a fan who is annoyed with Katie being in a relationship with Cody and Leshawna proving that she is the girl for Harold..." Chris commented as it showed images of the show while many could see the interactions of each camp. "Trent took the opportunity to humble himself and ask forgiveness from everyone, which they accepted the apology, but not before each of them gave him a slight... or a messed up punishment for the guitarist. I think Lindsay is going to kiss Tyler for what he did. Nice revenge dude, never thought you had that in you."
Chris smirked as he then decided to narrate the rest of the summary of the last episode.
"In a shocking twist, we let the losers vote off one of the final five campers, and in an even more shocking twist, it was Duncan who found himself in Loserville, population: Eighteen. Who will be voted off this week in the most dramatic campfire ceremony yet? Find out tonight on Total. Drama. Island!"
"Welcome back to Total Drama Island!" Chris greeted the viewers, still standing on the dock with his umbrella. Incredibly heavy rain continues to pour down on the island like it has never done so before. "This week, we've prepared a bizarre episode full of surprises. For instance, take this weather. Rain is not an easy thing to control, let me tell you. But we figured the four remaining campers were getting off way too easy. So, we pulled some strings, and voila!" But once Chris finished talking a bolt of lightning struck down right at his umbrella, shocking him. "DAH!"
Cutting over to the cabins, we see Heather, Lindsay, and Gwen sitting at the girls' cabins, all three of them staying dry thanks to the roof. Gwen was drawing something on her paper while Lindsay and Heather were doing their toenails. "Listen up, campers!" Chris' voice boomed through the loudspeakers, getting the campers' attention. "One of the most grueling challenges of any summer camp experience is the dreaded rain day! Where all activities with a remote possibility of fun are canceled in favor of the Craft Tent. The forecast for tomorrow: rain, rain, and more rain, followed by rain! See you all in the Craft Tent tomorrow at 0700 hours."
"Ohhhh, what do you think we are going to be crafting tomorrow?" Lindsay asked as she tried to keep the morale high from the girls who were distracting themselves from the terrible ideas the host of the show planned to make for them.
"Possibly something stupid," Gwen said as she rolled her eyes, while Heather nodded her head.
"Amem," The queen bee agreed with the goth as she herself was enjoying taking care of her toenails. "I doubt they would even care about what we are going to do."
"Oh..." Lindsay commented in disappointment since she would have loved to make something good for her family.
And while in the boy's cabin, there were two cadets who had been using one of the rooms as their own.
The lack of the campers left both cabins with enough space for them to enjoy for the rest of the show.
Both cadets were playing cards as they were having also to deal with the terrible rain happening on the island.
"I still can't believe how Chris and our coworkers managed to make a rainstorm from nowhere." Cadet Sanders said in amusement while she took a card in her hand.
"Well, it has been the most fun we ever had since the police academy...Do you have a 7?"MacArthur asked as the black cadet rolled her eyes.
"Go fish," Sanders replied as the duo looked on the corner where there was a squirrel who had not only the donuts but also the pants of Cadet MacArthur... "Remind me again why we let a squirrel play cards with us?"
"Because I don't trust this guy." Her partner replied as she used her thumb to point to her side, where there was the leader of the raccoons who was staring intently at his own cards, and looking suspiciously at the cadet. "Hey, don't look at me, I'm also losing my pants here."
*Tsj arha aj*
The raccoon mumbled something as the squirrel rolled its eyes and gave a pair of aces at the smirking animal.
"I don't know why or how, but someone is cheating over here." Cadet Sanders commented as MacArthur stretched herself while nobody could see the useless cards she hid in secret.
Indeed that storm day had been crazy for everyone.
.
.
.
Back to their cabins, Gwen was lying on her bed, while Lindsay couldn't help but also feel bored.
Gwen also felt that she would give anything to read something to pass the time. She remembered the time when both she and Bridgette passed hours and hours reading the paper sheets of Ezekiel about Steven Universe and debated on what was going to happen next.
And she thought Duncan and her would be the only ones to represent their own team... But sadly, from nowhere Duncan was eliminated, they didn't do a challenge, and yet they decided to vote off Duncan. And now, she felt like she was the only remaining bass on the show, a former Screaming Gopher.
The only thing she could do at the moment was to survive for more than 2 weeks or less, and it would be over...
But now there are only four...
Herself, Lindsay, Heather, and Owen...
Now that she thinks of it... Where the big guy go?
(Confession – Owen)
"Woohoo! Final four, baby! Yeah! Haha!" Owen loudly cheered with a giant smile on his face. He could hardly believe it, he was one of the last four contestants standing in the competition. He never believed he would make it this far. "You know, I really like the other three. They're solid competitors. We all have a real trust thing going, which is why it's a good thing no one knows about the junk food I'm stashing." Owen chuckled a bit at the thought of all that junk food he had stashed in his mattress…before realizing he said it out loud. "Okay, they'll probably be mad. But not as steamed as Chef when he finds out I was raiding his pantry." Owen chuckled again before quickly covering his mouth realizing he just said that out loud as well. "Oh! Darn it! There's something about this confessional that just makes me to confess stuff."
And so the day went on at Camp Wawanakwa. But also did the rain.
It just kept raining, and raining, and raining, and raining, and it rained some more to an almost unnatural degree to the point where the water level rose so high…the water ended up dragging some things with it.
Now in the morning of the next day, Chris could be seen walking up to Chef, who was carrying around a pot with what looked like rotten potatoes, with a confused look on his face.
"Hey, Chef, you seen the campers?" The host asked as he scratched his head a bit and looked around for any signs of the remaining four competitors.
"No, and I peeled a whole bag of rotten spuds." Chef was just as unaware of the location of the campers as Chris, adding in all of his hard work going to waste.
"Hmm. I can't find them either, and I also couldn't find the cadets. Come to think of it, I can't even find their cabins." Sure enough, just as Chris said, both the boy's and girls' cabins were completely gone…washed away with the mass amount of water that fell from the sky.
And from what happened with the campers... It seems they couldn't prevent the events of Mother Nature over their lives.
Out somewhere on the lake where the island was located, we see both of the cabins floating around in the water. Floating not too far from the cabins…were a pair of bunk beds with one set having the cadets Sanders and MacArthur sleeping inside the boy's cabin, while the bunk beds had Lindsay and Heather sleeping on them, Gwen was sleeping on her own bunk. The campers and cadets were sound asleep and completely unaware of their current situation…at least until they all suddenly rolled over in their sleep and went right into the lake.
Even a family of raccoons were floating toward the water as they used wooden chairs as boats...
Cadet Sanders was one of the first to wake up, and since she had to do the first shift of the morning, she thought it was a good idea to take a shower before getting a nice mug off.
*Splash*
That was the last thought she had when the cadet was the first one to hit the water.
Heather noticed the unfamiliar sound and quickly woke up in fear.
"AHHHHHHHHH" And that was the last comment before her body moved and let her fall from her bunk bed to the water.
"Heather? What AHHHHHH." And from the chain reaction, Lindsay rolled from her bed in surprise and fell as well.
The loud noises were enough to wake up Gwen who suddenly noticed that she herself was unable to control her body and fell into the water.
"WHAT'S GOING ON THERE?" MacArthur shouted as she also had mascara covering her eyes, and at the time she went to the stairs, she immediately fell down into the water. "OFFICER DOWN, OFFICER DOWN."
"Where'd all this water come from?"Gwen asked as she looked around, knowing the entire place was flooded.
"How should I know? Why don't you ask the leeches?" Heather yelled as she lifted her arm out of the water to reveal that a bunch of leeches had somehow already attached themselves to the queen bee so they could drain her blood. Naturally Heather was quick to shake them off. "Ah! Get off me you little parasites!"
Meanwhile, cadet Sanders managed to drag MacArthur back to the boy's cabin, while the glute-strong woman spat all the water on her partner...
"Great, it seems the rainstorm from last night made both cabins move and cross the river... Also, you girls should be getting out quick." Cadet Sanders suggested as she pointed at a fin raising on the water. Which made Heather, Lindsay, and Gwen had their eyes wide open.
"RUN!" Everyone yelled in unison as they all swam away from the incoming shark as fast as they could.
Thankfully they were able to climb up onto one of the cabins to escape the shark. While the said animal jumped to give a bite in one of the bunked beds.
"Quick! We need something big and chewy to shove in its mouth!" The goth girl said as cadet MacArthur got up and stared angrily at her.
"Don't you even dare." MacArthur knew that someone was going to have a bad time if they tried to use her as a shark bait.
"Owen!" Heather called out to the biggest object she knew.
"Ohhh, you mean the fat boy... Yeah, makes sense, where is he anyway?" The cadet asked as the other cadet who was looking around, didn't find anything similar as the fat boy around...
(Confession – Owen)
"So I snuck in and ate the entire soccer team's bake sale. I mean, the wholesale." Currently, Owen is in the middle of a story where he ransacked a bake sale during his childhood. The big guy has been in the confessional pretty much all day as his confessions yesterday led him to confess more stuff, and thus heading to the outhouse before the cabins got swept away by the rainwater. "But I got caught on account of the icing in my hair. My mom made me pay for it out of my allowance, but mmm, those soccer moms make a mean brownie. Hahaha. I'm hungry."
Owen then opened the door to the outhouse…and saw that he was floating around in the middle of nowhere. "Ahh! I'm all alone!" Owen yelled as he quickly ducked back into the confessional. "Adrift at sea! Ahh! Without breakfast."
Back with the other four remaining contestants, their cabin had ended up washing up on what appeared to be a deserted island. Looking around, it certainly wasn't like any part of Wawanakwa they'd seen. From the sand crossing the entire area, it looked like the cabins had gone down somewhere they couldn't identify at all.
"Okay. Is anyone else a little creeped out by this deserted island?" Gwen asked as she cautiously looked around. They didn't know anything about where they were, anything could end up popping up and trying to hunt them down.
Lindsay was the first one to raise her hand, while the cadets gave a slight glance at the area. From the place having tropical plants, even if they were in Muskoka in Canada. It had been way out of the ordinary.
"Puh-lease." Heather commented as she walked near the blonde bombshell. Rolling her eyes as she couldn't believe the way the goth girl was acting, especially after everything they passed over the show. It had been pretty obvious. "Any moron could see that this is one of Chris' cheesy production sets with fake props."
Heather kicked a nearby rock, thinking it was a possible fake scenery, but she then felt a huge pain in her feet, proving herself that she was wrong.
"Urgh, oh!" Heather said, as both cadets crossed their arms and stared at her in amusement.
"Yeah, definitely one of Chris' cheesy sets," Sanders said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Showing they were also caught from the problems where the girls were on…"Because, you know, fake rocks are fashionable these days."
The chubby cadet cleaned up the dust from her shoulders and already took her clothes and gear with all the essentials the cadets had in the cabin.
"Maybe next time you'll learn to differentiate between reality and your delusions of grandeur. Pro tip: real rocks hurt."MacArthur commented as Gwen smirked as the queen bee narrowed her eyes and scoffed.
"Very funny, you two." Heather shot them a glare, rubbing her foot. While Lindsay looked in concern at her friend.
"Just doing our job. Someone's gotta keep the reality in check." Cadet Sanders shrugged as she got to open the box where she went to the boy's cabin to also have her full clothes gear and the essentials for the protection of the campers.
MacArthur on the other hand, is enjoying to see Heather having a terrible day.
"Yeah, and someone's gotta make sure you don't hurt yourself while figuring out the obvious. You're welcome." The glut cadet commented as she could see Heather scoffing. "Geesh, you need a chill pill girl. You guys already passed a lot, and you shouldn't be surprised that problems like that happen."
"So what are we going to do?" Lindsay asked as she could see the goth girl trying to remain calm.
"We need to think a plan about what to do," Gwen commented as Lindsay nodded her head, and tried to stare in the air with a serious face…
"Okay, I need to think…" Lindsay commented as she concentrated, MacArthur noticed the expression on the blonde's face, and she couldn't let it pass.
"Don't worry, trying anything for the first time is hard," MacArthur commented as both Gwen and Heather narrowed their eyes at the cadet who just shrugged. "Come on, that was a gimme."
"Thanks." Then Lindsay's voice interrupted which made the cadet pause… and then realized that she took it as encouragement, which she tried to think about it… "Err… my plan… is, maybe asking you and Summer what to do?"
"Who is Summer?" Then the voice of cadet Sanders appeared which she was now prepared on with her full gear on. And with her munition supply, the duo of cadets was now ready to start their new operation. "Anyway, we are just in a castaway situation, so all we need to do is first, we need to establish a safe perimeter. Check for any threats, gather supplies, and then figure out a way to signal for help."
"Got it," Gwen commented as a good part of herself felt relieved that at least they weren't in a bad situation. "And what if they couldn't find us? Maybe we should create a raft?"
"Sure, but first we need to have something to eat and be warm at night, supplies are always a must first, and the energy could be used to build a raft later." Sanders commended for the idea of Gwen who nodded her head.
"So we need to find food? Like fruits?" Lindsay asked as the girls nodded their heads.
"Yeah, why don't you girls try to find food, while me and Sanders will try to find out if there is danger, wood, and check if there is a boat route to use this beauty," MacArthur said as she showed a flare gun which made Gwen's eyes wide open, and a huge relief on her heart.
"Okay, so we have options, and that's great," Gwen commented as she got up and decided to help. "Lindsay let's go to find something for us to eat."
"And what about me?" Heather commented as MacArthur decided to smirk before looking over her shoulder.
"Try not to kick any more rocks, Heather. We're trying to survive, not start a foot injury clinic." MacArthur left, as both cadets chuckled, while the queen bee looked very angry.
"Yeah, Heather, leave the rock-kicking to the professionals." Lindsay's voice said as it made her best friend look at her in betrayal.
"Even you Lindsay?" Heather asked as she couldn't believe what the blonde bombshell had said while she just giggled.
"Yeah, they are professional, they must have done a lot of times, they must know how it hurts," Lindsay commented as Heather, noticed that her friend didn't mean it, while she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Fine, let's just get moving." As they started organizing their efforts, the reality of their predicament set in. They were stranded, and it was up to them to make it through this challenge, together.
(Confession – Chirs.)
"Just to set the record straight, my sets are not cheesy!" Chris pointed out as he crossed his arms offended, getting defensive over Heather's comments. Since he spent a lot of time planning and preparing everything to happen across the challenges. "I had three interns who got a full medical team taking care of them after moving those rocks into place. A whole medical team of interns to take care of only 3 who would have lost their lives. And they don't have too much to worry about. They have cadets Sanders and MacArthur to help them out, they have to get out from that island and come to the camp by themselves. It's on them now."
"So I guess that means Craft Day is canceled. Anyway, I'm starved. Let's eat." Chris shrugged as he smiled. Calling the Chef who looked at the host in disbelief.
"You actually wanna eat this slop?" Chef who knew how picky Chris was over many things, stared at the rotten potatoes and at the host in disbelief,
"Ch, yeah, right. I'm gonna hit the breakfast buffet back at our camp." Chris corrected this time Chef smirked as he could see that his friend was still the same.
"Cool." Chef Hatchet started to chuckle as he pushed his friend on the chest slightly, while Chris also started to chuckle as well, and then pushed Chef even harder with both his hands. "Oof"
This made Chef irritated which gave a big push, which made the host feel down over the trash cans…
(Confession – Heather)
"Mental note. Never sign up for a reality show ever again." Heather told herself that she never wanted to go through something like this again.
"I can't believe that we have to be looking for fruits, and something to eat…" Heather commented as she was feeling annoyed by the fact that she knew something was obvious. "Of course, this is just Chris' lame attempt at challenging our shipwrecked survival skills."
"But what if isn't?" Gwen asked as she looked at Heather raising her finger. "Remember the horror night when Chris couldn't predict that we actually had a serial killer on the show."
Heather, dropped her finger as Gwen pointed out that fact, even as Chris couldn't predict the outcomes of his challenges, not knowing that it could potentially escalate in a way that everybody could get hurt and even go to the hospital.
"Do you think Eva is fine?" Then Lindsay asked which made both girls pause… and stare at the cheerleader who seemed to be holding what would be a rock, and looked in concern from the last scary challenge they had.
"I don't know… I hope she is." Gwen sighed, as she never thought to see a camper being in the hospital, not once, not twice, but trice. Good friends of hers who had to be eliminated over time… "But we couldn't find out if we don't move ourselves and find a way to get to the camp."
"Okay," Heather commented as she was scoffing from the lot of work the girls would be doing since it seemed they were going to be there for a while.
(Confession – Owen)
"Okay. Going to my happy place." Owen tried to comfort and calm himself down as he rocked back in forth in a fetal position while shutting his eyes. "I'm in the doughnut shop. There's an all-you-can-eat-for-a-dollar sale on. Unlimited chocolate milk. D'ah go away!" Owen then started to slap himself, something apparently going wrong in his fantasy. But he was cut off from whatever was going on in his head by a thumbing noise and the feeling of the outhouse no longer floating around aimlessly. "Is that…"
Opening the door to the outhouse, Owen smiled as he saw he was beached somewhere. He didn't bother to look around and see where exactly he was, he was just happy to be on dry land again! "Sand! Sweet mama in a sidecar going ninety!" Owen cheered as he ran out of the outhouse. But as he ran past some bushes…he ended up seeing a giant T-Rex skull and proceeded to scare the daylight out of Owen leaving the big guy to run back into the outhouse screaming.
"This day is really sucking…"
(Confession - Chris)
"The T-Rex skull was my idea," Chris commented proudly on one of the best ideas he ever had on the show. "Did you see the look on his face? That was worth every intern,"
"Alright, I will check on that side, and you will check on that one," Sanders commented to her partner who immediately couldn't find her. "Wha..."
"Hey, Sanders. Look at this house." MacArthur called as the other cadet looked up and ended up finding a pretty large tree house. One that looked about as big as the cabins! "LOOK AT THIS VIEW."
.
.
.
"Okay I have to admit, it helps to find a location and even is stable enough for us to sleep for tonight," Sanders commented from the treehouse after having climbed up the ladder to get up there. So far everything about the treehouse seems to be in good condition. She hasn't been inside yet but so far no wood is old and decaying and the foundation was stable. "I will be searching for the girls, while you..."
"Leave to me to keep a hawk eye, just to check if there is a dangerous animal to taser..." MacArthur showed a grin as she was eager for some action, and from the time they have been working on the show, those challenges or crazy events have been very fun for her so far.
"Roger," Sanders said as she jumped downstairs and went to leave the girls.
"Alright let's explore inside." When MacArthur was about to go inside, as she approached the door a skeleton with a tribal hat suddenly appeared leading to the cadet screaming and tackling the skeleton as she started to beat up the part of the scenario. "You are under arrest for attacking a cadet. EVERYTHING YOU SAY CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU BETWEEN MY PUNCHES."
(Confession – Owen)
"Help! I'm all alone! I'm gonna die!" Owen cried out as he opened the door to the outhouse, pleading anyone would be there to answer his call and help the poor guy out. But just then Owen spotted something not too far away that made him smile. "Hey, are those coconuts?"
(Confession – Chris and Chef)
"Will someone please explain to me why there are palm trees and coconuts up here?" Chef asked the million-dollar question of those tropical fruits being in a completely untropical place. "We're in northern Ontario!"
"They were leftover props from the Bigassic Park movie shoot," Chris explained leading to Chef raising a brow at the host. "What? We're on a budget! And we had to pay a lot for the interns to be treated, but with all the bonus we had from the merchandising we were able to find way more tropical props of other movies as well... That's why they were planted instead of being on vases. But also we have avocado, passionfruit, kiwis, guava... Come on, it needed to look real. A movie of dinosaurs will be a great way for us to get money, I know it."
"Okay, okay. You don't need to be anxious." Chef commented as they both rolled their eyes.
Owen let out a burp after he got his fill of the coconuts and even some bananas he managed to find, with only one coconut remaining on his lap. "It's been a grueling nine minutes of isolation, where a human mind is ripe for cracking!" Owen narrated his journey of survival before taking the remaining coconut and looking at it with a rather crazed look. "You know what I'm talking about, right, Mr. Coconut?" Owen then raised Mr. Coconut up and down to make it seem like the fruit was nodding. "Ah! You do! It's just you and me, buddy! We'll hunt, forage, and survive together! But first, I need to pee." Owen then brought himself and Mr. Coconut back to their survival base which was the outhouse. "Can you look the other way, please?"
Back to the track, it didn't take long for the cadet Sanders to guide Lindsay, Gwen, and Heather, each girl brought what would be a lot of bananas, coconuts, and every tropical fruit they could ever find… Needlessly to say the trio of girls was second guessing where they were since that quantity of fruits and tropical trees was abnormal even from the show standard.
"Okay, so this is the place where you two found?" Heather asked as she took off her sunglasses and couldn't help but nod in acknowledgment. "Better than our cabin…"
The group walked until suddenly the entire group paused, to just stare at what would be one of the weirdest things they had ever seen in their lives, even cadet Sanders had to pause and stare at it in complete shock.
Nearby the tree, a giant T-rex Skull was lying nearby the area.
"Woah," Gwen commented as she looked in shock. Heather felt the same, as Lindsay sweat from seeing a giant skull that looked intimidating.
"That's a giant lizard," Lindsay commented, as Sanders stared at the girl in disbelief. "Wait… Is that a dinosaur?"
"Yes." The trio asked, which made Lindsay pale. Which Gwen knows the reason of why she is scared.
"Don't worry, they are probably extinct… possibly all dead," Gwen commented as Lindsay walked nearby, just to be sure. "Hey Lindsay, you never know what it was on there, maybe you should be careful."
"I have to confess, I didn't see it at the time I was looking around, I missed this," Sanders said as she followed the blonde girl, but not before giving the orders to the other campers. "I will follow her, while you both go upstairs and we can plan about what happened from there."
With both Gwen and Heather nodding their heads, the Afro-Canadian cadet decided to follow the blonde girl, who was just checking the bones and then she found something from the other side, which made the duo stare it in disbelief.
"Footprints?" Cadet Sanders commented, which Lindsay nodded her head, and pointed in the direction of what would be the confession booth which made the girls tilt their heads and go straight over there.
.
.
.
Back with the now iconic duo of Owen and Mr. Coconut, the big guy was starting to look like a true wilderness survivor. The sleeves on his shirt were ripped and he had a giant beard and mustache combo on his face with the beard reaching to the maple leaf on his shirt. He also used a thing of lipstick he had for…some reason to paint a smile onto Mr. Coconut and used some grass as hair for the fruit. He also used the makeup to mark on the door of the outhouse how long they'd been there. "Eleven minutes of isolation and Mr. Coconut and I have decided to live in the outhouse. Where it's safe." Owen narrated his survivor story while finishing up the touches on Mr. Coconut's face.
"OWEN?!" Then a voice was enough to make the big fat guy jump in his place, as he suddenly dropped the only friend he created at that time… "Mr. Coconut. I'm so sorry."
Until the blonde boy with a giant beard then stared at the duo of girls who walked in his direction.
"Is my eyes deceiving me? Is… Cadet Sanders and Lindsay, we are saved Mr. Coconut." Owen commented as he brought the object to his shoulder like a good friend, and made the blonde Lindsay smile at the big guy, while the cadet looked at the boy who seemed to have lost his mind.
"Ohh, who is your friend Owen?" Lindsay asked happily as she approached the boy who had just gotten out of the confession booth.
"And what is with that fake beard." Cadet Sanders asked as she then tried to pull it off only to find that the beard was real and attached to Owen's face. "What the hell?"
"Ow!" Owen let out as the girl released her grip and Lindsay took a glance at the coconut on his shoulder. "So that means you both are real and not a mirage. We are saved… Oh yeah, Lindsay, cadet… this is Mr. Coconut, he had been a good friend of mine on this island by… 13 minutes."
"Nice to meet you Mr. Coconut," Lindsay commented as the cadet was still feeling a migraine coming towards her mind. "Anyway, we just found out that we are on this crazy tropical island, and we found a lot of fruits with us."
"Food," Owen commented as his stomach rumbled in starvation. Both girls couldn't help but notice it was indeed the last camper who felt so desolated.
"Explain me again... Why is there a skeleton in handcuffs?" Gwen asked as the chubby cadet was preparing her bed, and surprisingly a few bunk beds were waiting for everyone. And there was also a dressing mirror.
Heather was still eating a chocolate which she just discovered on one of the beds... Which once again confirms her theory that they aren't actually lost.
"Assault against a police officer, he will pass a long time thinking about what he did," MacArthur commented as the skeleton was cuffed outside of the window. "Can you pass me the marshmallows? I kinda need to enjoy this. And fruits aren't my thing."
Heather glanced but by shrugging she just launched the pack of the sugary sweats for the cadet who now opened it happily.
"Ah, what a crazy morning," MacArthur commented as both girls scoffed.
"You don't need to tell me twice," Gwen commented as she looked at the good supply. "While I think we have a good supply of food and a nice place to sleep. I still think we should be doing something like building a raft to prepare ourselves to leave."
"Oh come on," Heather commented as she rolled her eyes, a good part of herself still strongly believed that there was something off on this island. "Of course, Chris planned to make this island a challenge for us to survive?"
"Well, then he is doing a very good job because me and Sanders had no idea how we got dragged into this," MacArthur commented as she rolled her eyes. "Gotta tell you, girl, you have a strong belief and I respect you for that. But you also need to relax a bit... It's not like the worst thing you have ever passed on life."
Gwen paused... As Heather remained quiet... The cadet had brought up a very good point.
"Okay, you have a point. I would have taken this place instead of Boney Island any day." Heather commented that a bit part of her comments and strong belief was because she had hope, she hoped that they were still in a show, and not another kind of crazy island on which she had a very bad experience and even a panic attack on it.
"Well, I was buried alive once... I think I can take a day or a few preparing a plan for us to leave." Gwen admitted which made the cadet nod her head pleased.
"See? That wasn't too hard. And come on, yesterday we had an annoying rainstorm and we had nothing better to do, now we have a place to explore, food to eat, and even drink water from the coconuts." The cadet commented as the queen bee and the goth girls looked at each other.
"Now that I think about it, we are way better here than at the camp," Heather commented as Gwen knew what she was implying.
"Stay here or return to our trash camping... Wow, it sounds like a very tempting offer." Gwen mused as the girls started to laugh.
At the time the door opened, the girls froze for a second but they were relieved to see the cadet Sanders, Lindsay and to the surprise of everyone Owen was there... With a big beard?
"Owen?" Gwen asked as she and Heather looked at the boy who seemed who have better days. "What happened to you?"
"And what is with the fake beard?" Heather commented as she then pulled the said beard, which she became surprised as it was indeed attached to his face.
"Ouch." Owen let out a comment that made the other girls blink, while cadet Sanders just rolled her eyes.
"Don't question it, not even me could understand how he grew a beard in 13 minutes." The sassy cadet said as she and the blond went to the beds and had enough of the morning.
While Owen was with Mr. Coconut in his hands.
"Anyway, now that we are all reunited over here, and we have supplies of food and practically water. We have these options: A- we could make a signal with fire which would bring the attention of boats and helicopters or B- we could build a raft to paddle into the direction where we came from which would be a shot in the dark." Cadet Sanders gave the options which was very solid for both girls who were there to decide.
"I would say we go for the raft," Gwen commented as she could see the options in her hands. "While it's a very solid strategy to make fire. We didn't see an airplane or helicopter around, and neither a boat."
"Well, we could be doing both. Since we were just here for an hour or two, we don't know if we could see the boats or not."Heather gave another point, which once again was enough to make the girls come to a decision.
GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Suddenly, cutting Heather off, what sounded like some sort of monster growl rang throughout the entire island. Freaking everyone on it out.
"What was that?" Heather asked as the group felt once again there was horror across the island.
"It sounds like a dinosaur call," MacArthur commented which made both Heather and Gwen look horrified.
"Dinosaurs?" Gwen felt as if her day couldn't get any worse, now they felt they should be in a hurry.
"Okay. I think option A is no longer an option, let's eat everything and build the raft quickly." Cadet Sanders who was also horrified with the revelation commented as the girls nodded their heads, even Owen and Mr. Coconut agreed with the idea.
GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The time was essential since everyone was doing their best to focus on building a raft big enough for them. Owen was bringing the wood, while Cadet Sanders and Gwen were tying it up with leaves. Heather was taking care of the supplies of food and coconuts to drink across the trip. Meanwhile, Lindsay departed from the group to gather more leaves and sticks to help.
"Okay, sticks and leaves, sticks and leaves," Lindsay repeated to herself as she crossed the bushes, her eyes scanning the ground for good wood to make a paddle for the others. She ventured further north, focused entirely on her task. Her mind buzzed with determination. "Sticks and leaves, sticks and leaves. I hope I find enough to help everyone. They're counting on me!"
As she moved through the thick foliage, Lindsay's eyes caught sight of Chris and Chef enjoying brunch in a more fancy camp setup. However, her mission was so clear in her mind that the sight didn't register as unusual.
"Hi Chris. Hi Chef," she greeted them cheerfully, still focused on her mantra. Completely ignoring them, as she returned to her own quest. She wandered past them without a second thought, her mind still absorbed in her task. "Sticks and leaves, sticks and leaves. Hmm, these sticks look perfect! And those leaves will be great for tying everything together."
As the duo watched the blond bombshell walking back to the woods, both blinked as they stared at each other. Back at the makeshift brunch,
"Did Lindsay not realize..." Chris looked up from his plate in disbelief. While he saw Chef shaking his head.
"Don't think too much. Give her an hour or two; she'll figure it out." Chef commented as both couldn't do anything about it. Since it seems they have a potential winner over the challenge.
"Fair enough. Now pass me the ice cream, please." Chris smirked as both returned to their activities, enjoying the peaceful moment away from the chaos.
They would have a lot of fun watching the recorded moments of the campers surviving such a challenge.
Returning to the group, Lindsay felt happy to help out her friends. She beamed with pride as she handed over the sticks and leaves she'd gathered.
"Look, everyone! I found some great materials!" Lindsay called as the group nodded their heads in appreciation for Lindsay giving as the help as she could. And even at a fast pace.
"Good job, Lindsay. These will work perfectly."Cadet Sanders gave her an appreciative nod. Since they have been working against the clock, on a desert island, any kind of help matters, as she then looked around for her partner. "Hey, does anyone see MacArthur?"
The campers shook their heads, as they saw the other cadet who was with her hair messed, up and with Mr. Cocounet who had a mark of lipstick on his face. Which everyone blinked when the bad cop cadet sat between them and started to help.
"What?" MacArthur asked loudly, as the group looked confused, while Owen gave a thumbs up to the coconut imaginary friend he created.
(Confession - Lindsay)
"I'm really glad we're making good progress on the raft. Everyone's working so hard, and I'm happy I could find those sticks and leaves to help out." Lindsay sat in the confessional, her face glowing with pride. But then she paused a thoughtful look crossing her face."Oh, and I need to make sure to tell Chef and Chris that they're on the island. " Until she let out a gasp. "CHRIS AND CHEF."
"They're here on the island! They're in danger because of the dinosaurs!" Lindsay said as a part of the panic crossed her face... She needed to find a way to act quickly until suddenly Angel Lindsay and Devil Lindsay had a gong near her head... And with the biggest swing, the gong made noise which made Lindsay gasp even louder. "WAIT! If Chris and Chef are here, that means we never left the island! This is all just another one of Chris's challenges! So that means Heather was right all along, and in case we find Chris again, the challenge is over. Oh yeah, it's all coming together."
Lindsay said proudly to herself while both angel and devil shoulder of herself gave a high five.
Chris and Chef were having good fun as Chef was playing the drums, while Chris was playing limbo at the crew's secret location when suddenly a flare gun was shot which made both stop and stare at what would be the table of food, which was full of food.
Chris' smile remained on his face when he saw the deeply annoyed faces of not just Lindsay, Heather, and Gwen, but also his employee cadets MacArthur and Sanders who were seeing that even after would be a crazy morning and afternoon, it seemed they never left the place.
"Hey everyone, you went faster than I thought. Lindsay managed to tell you all that we have been here?" Chris commented as he could see Gwen walking angrily at him.
"We passed the entire morning thinking we were lost in a desert island, when in fact we had been at the camp Wawanakwa this whole time," Gwen said as she stomped angrily at the look of the Chef who nodded his head at her. "And then you both seemed to be having fun and a day off in expertise of our suffering?"
"Well yeah, but also it was a challenge of survival, and to really the location on where you were… Which by surprise Lindsay won today's challenge and immunity." Chris commented as the girls narrowed their eyes at him.
"I would appreciate it the next time me and my partner would be dragged into their challenge we would get a heads up… Boss…" Cadet Sanders commented, as Chris and Chef blinked… until one of them facepalmed.
"I knew I forgot something, so the interns didn't even tell them?" Chris commented as the military veteran just shrugged unsure. "Well, did you help them too much?"
"WHO CARES?" Heather shouted angrily as she decided to walk away. "I'm tired, just tell me where the camp is for me to return."
"Oh yeah… About that," Chris commented as he chuckled which made everyone know that good things aren't. "The cabins where you usually sleep actually is being built again, so it will take a few days to have them back… so you must find a place to stay, and this secret spot which isn't secret until a certain blond spot us… is full. So I wish you good luck in finding your own place. Now if you mind, I'm going to enjoy my time, see you guys at the campfire."
The girls felt their eyes twitching, while Owen was enjoying the good food which went on the floor after the flare hit the table… The campers and Cadets were unsure of what to say until Gwen groaned.
"You know what?" Gwen interrupted as she threw her hands in the air. "Screw this."
"Yeah, you are right. I'm going to take a shower. I'm feeling terrible." Heather said as she wanted to get clean up and pass the time at the camp where she knew where it was.
(Aquarium)
"Ahhhhhhh, I needed this," Gwen said as she relaxed over the hot tub. She never thought she desperately needed something that much in her life. And she felt that indeed the Aquarium was the safest place for her and her team to be when it came to anything. Surprisingly even with the flood happening across the forest, The campers managed to make a path across the hole to make sure the rain wouldn't affect their secret spot. "If I knew the rain would mess up with everything, I would have stayed here all this time."
Gwen commented, that she never felt so angry about being on the show that at that moment, she knew that she was feeling the pressure of being in the finals, and thankfully the show was getting close to finishing, and she got so far on the show, now she felt with the obligation to have the prize, she would use it like Ezekiel once said, she would pay a good part of the money for therapy, and possibly use the other part to college funds for her.
Living a life of school felt so much better now, even as a good part of her, felt guilty that one of her friends never had the opportunity to have a proper education.
Gwen stared at the trailer of her friend who got eliminated by technicality… And couldn't help but smirk.
"If it was Eva, I knew she would have beaten down Chris and Chef for making her annoyed and suffering a challenge like that." Gwen smiled as she felt the look of the Killer Bass flag staring at her… And it was like a moment she closed her eyes… And she still could hear them having a conversation like the old times.
("Okay, it's ace of spades" Harold commented which surprised everyone on the place.
"Woah, it really is," Katie said as she gave the card to Harold while everyone had their eyes wide open in surprise.
"Pff, there is no way, I mean what is the..."
"You have 5 of hearts," Harold commented as he interrupted the C.I.T. girl who just snapped.
"HOW THE HELL DID YOU KNOW THAT?" Courtney shouted in disbelief, while Harold just smirked at her.
"Magic camp, I spent 3 years doing it to perfect myself," Harold replied as he took a little fabric in his hand, and then with a slight hand, it turned into a picture of himself with a ballerina outfit. "Ta-da... Ops, how did it get there?"
Harold took it back to his pocket while he smiled sheepishly.
"Nice come back Harold Houdini," Duncan commented as he laughed at the comedy act, which Geoff was even applauding from the fun... So the delinquent decided to have some fun. "Now, do a fireball trick."
That comment made Geoff glare at him since the boys created a pact of using the fireball trick as an excuse for the terrible gift Geoff would want to give to Bridgette.
"Ha ha ha. Very funny guys, it's not like AHHHHHHHH." Geoff gave a sarcastic laugh and when he was telling it wasn't funny, Harold took a light fabric and made a fireball consuming it in front of the party boy who jumped in surprise. Making the group laugh at him. "LOW BLOW HAROLD."
Duncan, Ezekiel, and Courtney applauded while they snickered at the pouting cowboy who had DJ, Katie, and Bridgette pat his back...
"Thank you, thank you, you are all so kind." Harold bowed at the applauses, while Gwen couldn't help but close her eyes again.)
Good memories like that were what made her miss more of her friends.
"Please guys, give me strength just for more than 2 weeks, to win this show," Gwen whispered as she never thought she would be the only bass remaining, and the more and more she wanted to survive such challenges.
(?)
"Well, I have to admit that things could have gone way better," Chris commented as the sound of loud rain finally appeared outside of the trailer where he and Chef were enjoying a good relaxing time. "But at least we will have some fun moments to edit around the show."
"You're right, at least we don't have to worry about the crazy challenge since they did it all by themselves. But I think it would have been way better if the cadets didn't were caught on the said challenge." Chef Hatchet commented which the host just shrugged.
"Well, what is done is done. But now, I'm kinda bored over here, so you won't mind if I listen to a CD over here right?" Chris asked as the cook of the island shrugged, and nodded his head. "I didn't have much time to listen to this, so I was interested to know what Ezekiel did from his book, and he said this is the first edition of the recorded book, so I have it for me."
"Isn't the one where he talks about the scary stories? Are you sure that you want to hear that in the middle of the rainstorm?" Chef asked as he raised his eyebrows, which Chris simply scoffed.
"Oh come on Chef, I know his stories are scary, and even some I had inspiration to use it. But I think you are exaggerating, I mean, I'm not the campers. I can take it…" Chris commented as he placed the CD on the Radio player and decided to play it.
"Courage the Cowardly Dog in… Freaky Fred." Ezekiel's voice was heard on the radio as the duo looked at each other as there was a little toybox song behind the said title. And it didn't stop when the voice of Ezekiel was once said, but this time was very different. A bit more, creepy. And he started rhyming. "Hello, new friend. My name is Fred… the words you hear are in my head. And I said my name is Fred and I've been… very Naughtyyyyyy…"
Chris felt his spine shiver. While Chef Hatchet gulps, from the tone of the voice.
.
.
.
"The story I'm about to tell, I tell you, I will tell you well, Is of my dear aunt Muriel, and just how I've been… naughty…" Ezekiel once again rhymed as both Chef and Chris felt so captured with the story, and they felt something very wrong with the man who was rhyming in the story.
"Muriel is the aunt of this freak?" Chris whispered as then he heard Ezekiel voicing Eustace to explain more about the freak person.
"The freak is a barber…" This made the eyes of the host shrink, he placed both his hands over his handsome hair and sweat in fear. "A freeeeeakyyy barber, with his own freaky barbershop, with freaky things happen… freaky BARBER THINGS."
Chris felt his teeth clinching, and even Chef had his eyes wide open in surprise.
"Ohhhhh, I know those types of guys," Chef commented which made Chris press pause…
"You do?" Chris commented as Chef nodded his head.
"I had a hair salon in the 80s, and I heard every kind of story… and if that is what I think it is Chris, you should bail…" Chef commented as he could feel his own back sweating, to make a capture of a crazy person being freaky on the narrative, the military man had to admit, he wouldn't like to find a person like that.
"Nah, I mean, it's fine… It's the first story, it wasn't supposed to be that bad… Let's just keep hearing." Chris commented as he pressed the play.
6 minutes later…
"La la la la la la la… la la la la la la la…" The choir sang while the electric shaver buzzer happening and Courage's scream happened, which made Chef pale and cover his head with the blanket, even though he was bald, he was feeling the pressure over the terrible sound of the freaky barber shaving the fur of the poor pink beagle.
"Damn, that boy knows how to scare people, Chris," Chef commented as he was actually glad to have Izzy planning to add him to his alliance on the next season, while he looked at the host, who just wasn't there… "Chris?"
He looked and found there wasn't a trace of him, just an open door, and a person running away in the rain.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." Chris screamed as he ran away from the trailer, trying to find his own security and lock himself on his personal trainer.
(Campfire.)
"I don't care how many days you are going to waste, I want all my barbers having a background check and psychological test, and I swear that if there is one who is too happy to cut hair, I want him fired OKAY? I DON'T CARE IF IS A STORY OR NOT, THERE ARE FREAKY PEOPLE LIKE THAT, AND IF YOU WANT THE BONUS OF THIS YEAR ON YOUR SALON, YOU BETTER LISTEN TO ME... GOT IT? Great... thank you and have a good night." Chris said by telephone, while the campers looked at the host of the show wearing a motorcycle helmet. In a way to protect his hair. When he saw the group of campers and even the cadets who were staring at him, Chris coughed his fist and composed himself to talk to the campers and continue the show. "Now that we solved this whole day, I hope you guys learned your lesson, always make sure your cabins are securely fastened to the ground. Which brings us to yet another dramatic marshmallow ceremony."
Everyone was there staring at what Chris had said, and even Owen who was now shaved with a new shirt and holding his friend Mr. Coconut. Chris was ready to start another elimination ceremony. Which then showed there were 4 marshmallows, which made Lindsay, Gwen, and Heather look at each other in confusion.
"Heather, Lindsay, Gwen, Owen... You all are saved." Chris commented as it gave each camper a marshmallow, but then Owen had his eyes wide open in shock when he realized one thing.
"Oh, no. You don't mean!"Owen realized as he looked at his new friend who just got the worst fate.
"Yep. It's time for Mr. Coconut to walk the Dock of Shame." Chris smirked as he walked toward the fat boy who started to cry. And while in the background, one of the cadets could hear that her partner was sniffing but also glaring in the direction of the coconut.
"What's going on? OUCH..." Sanders asked as she then felt her partner stomping on her feet.
"I did not have a break up with a coconut. Got it?" MacArthur commented angrily at her partner who raised both her eyebrows but then scoffed as she rolled her eyes.
"Okay, I will find an ice cream tub for you to eat," Sanders commented as she then got a big hug from her partner, who was sniffing while Chris was launching the coconut away on the boat of the losers.
"MR. COCONUT! NOOOOO!" The campers watched what would be the weirdest elimination campfire of their lives, and with on how the crazy day went... Everyone preferred to return to their beds and get ready for the next day.
Since most everyone was done with it. Except Owen who was still crying for his friend who would be enjoying a great experience at the 5-star resort.
Life indeed was strange.
