Dial M for Merger
POV. Third person
Chris begins the narration, "last time in Total Drama Action. Our contestants showed us their sportsmanship," everyone is seen running around the soccer field and exercising, "some more than others," Harold acts in slow motion while Gwen looks at him strangely, "in the end, Heather, Cody and Duncan proved that to win in sports, you need much more than talent," Heather beats Lindsay, Cody tickles Izzy and Duncan hits Justin in the face, "That's right, it also takes ambition and anger, and heck, those three really had it. In the end, despite the fact that there were three failures to choose from, Izzy was the one expelled... Again, however, she did not leave without leaving us another of her eh... classic Izzy moments," the redhead gives Lindsay a tongue kiss. Chris is in the camera room watching the scene, he changed it immediately when he realized that he was being filmed, "ahem, this week we will pay homage to spy movies, and we might have a few sneaky surprises along the way," he said while throwing a tomato at the camera a la James Bond, "right here in TOTAL... DRAMA... ACTION!".

POV. Third person
Most of the contestants were sitting in the rest area, Chris hadn't come to bother them yet, so they were taking advantage of the dead time to rest.
"So, it's just the three of us," Justin said, looking at the other two remaining members of his team.
Confessional
Justin
"Getting rid of Izzy seemed like a risky maneuver, but it was the best option, she is 100% loyal to Cody, it was only a matter of time before she betrayed us. I lost the opportunity to rule this team, but I feel like I can still have a chance to bring Lindsay to my side, especially with how motivated she looks lately and Harold has his little scuffle with Duncan, where hopefully one will end up taking the other out, and I can keep the winner as an ally, a plan that fails to fail," Justin is unaware of most of the things that are already happening behind his back.
End of confessional
Harold was sitting next to Lindsay and got a little worried to see that the blonde was quite blushing, maybe she could have a fever, "hey Lindsay, are you okay? Your face is a little red."
The blonde looked at the nerd with wide eyes and got a little nervous, "oh uh... it's nothing, just... I tanned too much and my face was red, is just that, nothing strange hahahahahahaha," she laughed nervously.
Harold narrowed his eyes suspiciously, Lindsay began to sweat from worry, "oh, it's okay then," she sighed in relief, "be careful with that, sunburn is not pleasant at all."
Confessional
Lindsay
"Last night Izzy left, and she... she left me a parting gift for Cody, although I think she was just making fun of me... then I realized that this will probably become normal when I go out with Cody...", the blonde's eyes opened, "I meant yes, if I decided to go out with Cody!", she said very hurriedly, then she looked quite sad, "... which is not going to happen... I'm really sorry, but I've decided that I'm not going to go after Cody, I think what he has with Izzy is very beautiful and I don't want to meddle in all that, I don't feel adequate enough to date a guy as cool as him or even to be on par with Izzy," she said. Then she hugged her knees, "I'm going to tell him that I like him... and that's it, I'll just do it to get it off my chest, I'm not going to go any further, I'm sorry if you're watching this Izzy, I appreciate all your support, but I've already made a decision, as hard as it is, I think it's the best thing for everyone."
End of confessional
Lindsay looked in the direction of Cody's trailer, he was sitting in the doorway, he was talking to Izzy's prairie dog who was peeking out of a hole in the ground, if she remembered correctly his name was Bully or something like that, it will seem strange to many, but she thought it was cute, Cody had a lot of weird abilities and was incredibly kind, the truth is that being around him made Lindsay feel dumb, besides her beauty she didn't really have anything that stood out to her, or at least that's what she thought, that's why she didn't want to date him, she didn't feel up to it, she was starting to develop a little inferiority complex, her multiple previous failures didn't help either, even if he told her she was getting better, she was afraid that if she came out and he somehow miraculously said yes, she might end up damaging his reputation or his relationship (even more than simply dating two girls at once would), or even their friendship... again. In reality, many things could go wrong.
With these thoughts in mind, she got up from where she was sitting and walked towards the boy who at this point could not deny that she liked him and prepared herself for the most difficult thing she has done in her life.
*Heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat*
She could hear her heart pounding in her chest, this didn't happen with her previous boyfriends, she silently begged herself to calm down.
"Lindsay?"
"Yeep!", she was startled when Cody called her, she was standing right in front of him, when did she go so far?
"Is something wrong?" asked Cody calmly when he saw her so nervous.
The mind of the blonde who already had her limited abilities, was having a breakdown at this moment, thought she was ready... It wasn't the case, she repeated over and over again 'this was a bad idea, this was a bad idea, this was a bad idea, this was a bad idea' in her head, now she just wanted to escape.
"I... eh... I wanted to tell you that Izzy left you a farewell gift?", now she turned white when she remembered what that said gift was, that was not what she had come for.
Now it was Cody who turned red when he remembered the gift that Izzy left him before leaving, "oh, how strange, she had already given me something before the award ceremony".
'I knew she was just screwing with me!', thought the blonde with resentment.
"But I guess I should expect something like this from her, uh thank you Lindsay, what did she leave me?"
*Panic attack activated*
Now she really regretted even getting out of bed this morning... but wait, this is from Izzy, isn't it? It wouldn't be unusual for her to leave such a gift, right? So there would be no problem if she just went ahead and hand it over to him, right? No one would complain to her for being a good friend who is just delivering a message, RIGHT!?
"Uh... Lindsay are you okay? steam... steam is coming out of your ears, how is that even possible?" Cody said in a whisper.
"Squeal (smells like burning)," said the rodent at his feet.
"Mm?" Lindsay placed her hands on Cody's cheeks crushing them, the blonde's eyes were a little cloudy by now, "Lind... chi?" asked Cody worriedly.
"Yes, yes, the gift, Izzy's gift, I'll give it to you right away," she said very quickly. Then she began to approach Cody with pursed lips, whose eyes widened at the sight of what Lindsay was about to do.
*Clank*
But she stopped when they both saw a can that was spewing smoke roll on the ground towards them.
*Fall*
Kevin who was on top of the trailer fell to the ground asleep, "What-?", Cody did not manage to finish his sentence when he felt very sleepy, the same with Lindsay and Butchie.
*Fall*
Before she knew it, Lindsay fell on top of Cody as they both fell asleep. The rest of their companions did not know it yet, but they were about to accompany them.

POV. Cody
"Squawk! (Get up, don't be lazy!)".
"AHHHH!", I woke up suddenly only to see that I was trapped inside what seemed to be a cave along with everyone else, who were also starting to wake up, and not only them, Kevin and Butchie were also here, Chris' grudge is immature.
I slowly sat down, what was Lindsay about to do before we were put to sleep? She was very nervous and then... yeah that, she said it was from Izzy, wait... that means Izzy...
My face burst red as I imagined the implications, I shook my head, as amazing as that was, there's a challenge going on, "Anyone alive?" I asked, and I was rewarded with a bunch of whimpers, "I'll take it as a yes."
*Blow*
"OW! My eye! My beautiful, uninsured eye!" I turned around to see Justin stand up with a black eye. Yep, just like the first time.
"I'm so sorry," Beth said, "Are you okay?"
"Ah! I bruise easier than a clingstone peach! Must prevent swelling," he ran out to look for ice, but he began to cry when he couldn't find it and had a breakdown realizing that his beauty is not permanent.
Yes, I remember how it felt when I accepted that the Codemaister was not really attractive to women at all... except for Sierra, I shuddered, accepting reality can be hard.
Heather stood up irritably, "What maniac would think of doing this to us? When I find him...", she said angrily.
Just at that moment a space in the rock wall opened up and a real-time projection of Chris began to play. I may hate this program, but a lot of its technology is amazing.
"And there's you maniac," Gwen said, looking at the presenter sitting in a chair with an eye patch and a white cat on his lap.
"Squeal (Dennis?)".
"Hehehehehehehahahaha, Welcome to ze Clogedekel, world of spy movies, man, woman and plagues," he said in a fake Russian accent.
"Squeal (I told you he was a supervillain)."
"Squawk (don't start)."
"Dude, what's with the bad Jamaican accent?" said Duncan.
"No, that's clearly German," Heather said.
"French," Beth said.
"Kinda sounds Italian to me," Harold said.
I held back my laughter while everyone was wrong with their accents, I think few have seen spy movies, another of my favorite genres, especially because of the weird spy gadgets that are never what they seem... Too bad there won't be any of that here.
"Um, hello? It's Russian? And I should know, because I am an actor," Chris said indignantly.
"Oh, really?" Duncan said as if hesitating.
"Any good spy in any good spy movie must have three essential skills. One, the ability to deactivate a bomb. Two, the ability to escape an exploding building. And three, the ability to fake an accent that makes people believe you actually speak the language. Like-a my fab Russian accent, man. You'll need two of the three skills to get through today's reward challenges. Can you guess which two? Let me give you a hint. Not the third one, man hahahahahaha," Chris said.
Confessional.
Heather
"It's good that there is a person here who knows how to defuse bombs... and no, it's not Harold, and it's a good thing that person is easily attracted to... eh... any partially attractive individual of the opposite gender," she said in a suggestive little pose.
End of confesional.
"If we find a bomb, don't let Mr. Noodle Legs go near him or we'll all be toast," Duncan said, pointing to Harold.
"You're just jealous of my amazing abilities," Harold said.
"Oh, and one last thing. Since I'm really ho-hum bored of the teams, I'm busting them up," Chris said pushing the cat off his lap by accident, from now on, it's every dude and dudette for themselves. I'll see you back on solid ground. Let the 007'ing begin."
"Furious meow (you son of a-)", the white cat jumped on Chris angry that they threw him to the ground, that's quite an ending for the transmission.
"Squawk (ha, classic Dennis)."
I stiffened when I felt soft breasts against my back, Heather was standing behind me trying not to be noticed by the others.
She was smiling too brightly for my comfort, "Too bad Izzy didn't make it this far, but what do you say if you and I team up to get to the two finalists? Like in the old days, huh? What do you say?" she said close to my ear trying not to let the others listen.
The truth is that I wouldn't mind forming an alliance with her, even if she doesn't plan to make it to the finals, it would be very useful for me to deal with Gwen and Duncan.
"Okay... I will... if... you let me touch them once," I said making the gesture of squeezing with my hands and smiling like a fool. I wasn't serious, but I wanted to see how committed she was.
She immediately burst red as expected, "...", but her contemplative silence was downright more terrifying than if she had yelled at me.
She looked both ways making sure no one was watching, then she turned me around to hide us, took my hand and...
*Boing*
... She just slid my hand under her top and bra letting me touch her chest directly, I had seen it before, but touching it was a completely different feeling, it was only a few seconds, but, they were warm, very warm and their softness and softness was amazing, besides, Izzy was right, they are bigger than before.
My heart almost stopped, I pulled my hand away as if I was burning, "What-?"
She took me by the shoulders and looked at me with a frown, "now you can't retract anymore," she told me, then she let go of me and pulled away, smiling Machiavellianly with malice, "you didn't think I would get this far for an alliance, did you? Too bad, you could have asked for something much better," my hand was shaking slightly, she just completely defeated me.
"Heather... You're a terrifying woman," was all I could say, I could still feel her softness in my hand.
She seemed pleased about that, "I know," she said, pointing her finger at me, "never forget it."
Confessional.
Heather
"Yes, I still have it, say what you want about me, but I'm definitely going to win this competition, it won't be like last time, I won't let stupid feelings get in my way."
End of confessional.
*Heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat*
Yes, I don't think that's possible.
"Oh, if there's no more teams, Beth that means you and me-," Lindsay said.
"YES!" said the farmer as she ran and hugged Justin's waist surprising the model, "now that there are no more teams we can finally be together... ah as allies of course", that did not prevent her from continuing to hug him as if she were looking for something more.
"Eh... of course Beth... yeah, let's be... allies," Justin said as he patted her on the back, though to me he didn't look very confident.
Confessional.
Justin
"Well, I had forgotten a little about Beth, but I guess this works too, now that I'm a circus freak it won't look so bad if she's with me... but I'd still like to attract Lindsay to this alliance, the three of us could win the game."
Harold
"At any moment someone will ask me to be their ally, that is, who wouldn't want to have my crazy skills on their side? Yes, at any time."
End of confessional.
"Oh... Yeah... I should have seen it coming," Lindsay said uncomfortably, oh, I'd like to ask her if she wants to join us, but... given her and Heather's story, I doubt the queen bee is comfortable with the idea, to begin with, I don't think I've ever known how Heather feels about Lindsay, "Ha? Lindsay? Like I care about her" yes, I imagine her saying something like that... Heather is a total tsundere, isn't she?
Gwen was walking around the place, "Alright... Any idea how we're supposed to get out of here?" she asked, looking around.
"In spy movies, usually places like these have secret entrances that are activated by buttons or levers," I said.
"I found the exit," Lindsay said standing in front of a paper cutout in the shape of an entrance, "follow me Ouch!" she tried to cross, but only ended up bumping, "oh, not again."
"Lindsay are supposed to be secret entrances because they're hidden, not in plain sight, gosh," Harold said.
Justin leaned against a rock formation and a secret elevator is active, "over here".
"Well done ex-supermodel," Heather said.
Confessional.
Justin
"Now that I'm a hideously deformed circus freak, I have to rely on my brains to win this thing. You hear me, brain? Yeah! I'm speaking to you," he said, hitting his head.
End of confessional.
We all got on the elevator, it quickly took us to the upper level. When the elevator stopped, the doors opened to reveal a very elegant round room whose greatest curiosity was the bag on top of a shelf covered with a glass dome right in the middle of it all.
"Unbelievable."
"Great."
We were all looking around the room, I looked at the walls surrounding the ledge and I could easily see where the lasers would be, this challenge was not going to be so easy.
"This is like something out of that spy movie," Harold said, "The Ultimate Ultimatum," I saw that movie.
The projector turned back on and Chris was once again in front of us, only now he was covered in scratch marks all over the place.
"Squawk of laughter."
"Squeal of laughter."
"Don't I look awesome in blue?" he asked.
"Do you really want me to answer that?" asked Gwen sarcastically.
"Now for the first part of the spy movie challenge. See that case in the middle of the room? You have to get whatever's inside, 'cause you're gonna need it for part two of the challenge."
"No problemo," Duncan said, "easy smash and grab."
"When it was that easy?" asked Heather rolling her eyes.
"I hate to agree, but she's right," Gwen said.
And as if they were proving the queen bee right, the lasers were activated, stopping the criminal suddenly.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, I need to finish," Chris said annoyed, "you gotta get whatever's inside without setting off the alarm. But be careful, those lasers will cut you clear in half," not really, but they must burn like hell.
"I look a whole lot better whole," Lindsay said, I totally agree.
Heather walked over to look at the lasers, "I think we did LeShawna a favor when we ejected her, her butt would never go through these lasers."
Gwen frowned at Heather's words, I'm surprised at how loyal LeShawna remained, I wish she had kept some of that loyalty for Courtney, but I guess one more person was out of her capacity.
...
POV. Gwen
Chris' broadcast went down so the challenge officially began, everyone started looking for a way to get through, now they were distracted.
I pulled Duncan by the arm before he left too, "we're going to need someone else if we want to kick Heather out," I said as I made sure no one heard us.
Duncan lifted something from his unibrow, "I thought you said you wanted to get to the last two?"
"Yes, but Cody is almost certainly helping Heather, and Beth left with Justin, so there are only two neutral people left."
"Not so much, Lindsay wanted to team up with Beth, so she's probably going to go to the supermodel side and unless you want to turn the last three into the last six, I don't see it as good," Duncan said.
"Well, then we only have one option," I said, but I knew he wasn't going to like it.
And she was right, he frowned immediately, "no, it's not going to happen oh no, it's out of the question," he said stubbornly.
"We need one more person, can't you put aside that stupid grudge in order to win?"
"Stupid? I remind you that it was his fault that I was expelled," he said.
"And you say you didn't deserve it, you took your jokes too far back then," I blamed him.
"Oh sure, now I went too far, I remember how you laughed at my jokes, even the ones I did at the resort," he pointed at me, shit, I didn't know what to answer to that, "if you want to recruit that nerd, then go ahead, but don't expect me to stay if he accepts," he said walking towards the lasers, "for now I'll focus on winning this."
"Fine, do whatever you want, I guess we weren't such a good team after all," I yelled.
It took me a little while to realize how quiet the room was, and when I looked to the side I knew why, everyone was staring at me. I think now I fucked up.
"Their first lovers' fight already? Wow Gwen, you do know how to make things exciting, don't you?" said Heather completely pleased.
"Uff, that's awkward," Lindsay said.
"Totally awkward," Beth followed.
Confessional
Harold
"They were fighting over me," the nerd said excitedly, "yes, I know not in that sense and one of them actually hates me... but they were fighting for me, I knew it was only a matter of time."
Gwen
"Stupid Duncan, he just mess stuff up, what does Courtney see in him? He's so stubborn, yeah, he's tough, he looks imposing, he's a skilled competitor and he knows how to really have fun...", the goth looked confused, "wait, what did I was trying to say?".
Duncan
"Gwen got angry and all that, she knows that between Mr. Weird and me, I'm the best option, she'll soon come running back to ask me to come back, and maybe I'll accept, it's like with Courtney...", the criminal's eyes opened, "uh... it's not that I think she's like Courtney or anything like that."
End of confessional.
...
POV. Cody
So, Gwen and Duncan had an argument, I wish that meant something, but it just shows how close they are to becoming Courtney and Duncan, the truth is that I'm starting to get upset to my stomach. It's not easy to see people you like (or consider close in Duncan's case) go straight down into the abyss of their own volition, I'll definitely destroy this relationship to save them, but I can't do it now, whatever I say, they'll only deny everything as long as Duncan keeps dating Courtney, since neither accepts yet that they like each other to begin with. This breakout must be worked out slowly and carefully or it could end up worse than it already is... or it will be.
"Hey Beth, how about we try to get through the lasers together?" Lindsay said, but the farmer looked a little doubtful.
"I don't know Linds, I was actually planning to do it with Justin and...", Beth rejected Lindsay for Justin, as they were not on the same team this time, Beth does not have the inhibition that she and Lindsay developed by being close to the model, this could end up breaking their friendship, I wonder what I should do there. But it's not a priority, if Beth became repellent to Justin, it was for a reason, she just has to realize it again.
"In fact, Beth, I'd rather you help Lindsay, as I'm trying to use my brain and I need time to do that thing where people say 'I got it' and then they do something cool," the model said.
"Thinking?" asked Beth.
"Exactly," Justin said, that seemed like enough for her to try to help Lindsay.
I'd better focus on the challenge, there should be a pattern in the lasers to be able to pass, Chris wouldn't do an impossible challenge, let alone a first part, there's almost always a trick.
"Get off my back!"
"How? Don't think I'm enjoying this," I looked to the side when I heard an argument, immediately my eyes widened.
Heather was lying on the floor with her right leg up, and the other bent over a laser with her foot flat on the floor, was held on her left elbow as well while her right arm was in the air inches away from a laser. Now the really interesting thing, Gwen was lying on her belly right on top of Heather, the goth's crotch was pressed against the thigh of Heather's bent leg, the breasts of both were pressed against each other and their faces full of hatred for each other were inches away from touching, avoided only by Gwen's elbows resting on the ground on either side of the queen bee.
This couldn't be misinterpreted, because anyone who saw them right now would think the same thing, that they were going to devour each other, even if their faces only show dislike and hatred, who says this can't be done with hatred?
Worst of all, I've imagined this kind of scenario between the two of them, I used to think there was something more to it every time I saw them fight like cats. My previous self was extremely perverted... okay I'm still quite perverted, but at least now I know how to hide it... well, I don't know how to hide in the slightest... But at least now I can make up for it with charisma and kindness.
Luckily this time I came prepared, I took out my camera and took a quick photo... Just in case.
"I'd laugh about it, but I don't think I'm in a position to do it," Beth said.
"Hey, I got the joke," Linds said.
"Linds, that wasn't a joke," somehow they both got stuck in the same position as the first time, weird.
"This is your fault! You had to follow me when I got into the lasers, didn't you?" Heather complained to Gwen.
"It's not my fault that you went in the place I planned to use," Gwen replied.
"Because this was the best place, until you came and fell on top of me," Heather said, so that's what happened, "you just wanted to prevent me from winning the reward," I know I should be trying to get to the prize, but this is too entertaining and hot to look away, others clearly think the same because no one's lifting a finger, either to help or to get to the prize.
"Of course I don't want you to earn the prize, but this wasn't exactly my plan," Gwen said of the compromising position.
The goth's elbows slipped a bit due to the whole discussion, causing Gwen's face to get even closer to Heather's, to the point that their noses were pressed together, it almost seemed like someone was doing it on purpose, because the tragic faces that these two put on were downright hilarious.
"Duncan, a little help here," Gwen said.
"Cody, get this gothicc bitch off me," Heather called me.
Confessional
Heather
"Why do they all suddenly want to sexually assault me!? I'm very aware of how attractive and desirable I can be, but these people are animals," she complained for two hours.
End of confessional
"I'm sorry Pasty, but I'm very busy trying to cross the lasers," Duncan said standing with his arms crossed in a place where Gwen couldn't see him, while enjoying the sight of the two girls about to deepen their hatred, "besides, we're not supposed to be allies anymore."
"Grrrr", the goth only managed to growl at him angrily.
"I'd love to Heather, but this seems like a good opportunity for the two of you to settle your differences and get to know each other a little better," I said as I returned to the task of trying to cross the lasers.
"Cody, you damn son of a *beep*! Don't think you'll get away with it, if you let me here-!"
"Good luck," I said, they'll be fine, a kiss won't kill them, and it'll please Gwether fans, I know even in my time they still made a lot of noise.
Let's see, how to pass? I don't have Courtney's feline skills, and size is irrelevant, demonstrated by Beth, so trying to pass it with huge spider skills (which I don't have) is out of the question.
Maybe I'm looking at this from the wrong angle, I'm thinking like Courtney would, but she has the skill to back up her ideas, I don't, I have to think smart, but save me all the work.
"Well, there won't be an alliance with Harold, happy?" said Gwen.
"Quite a bit," Duncan said.
"Okay, now get me out of-", just at that moment... Gwen's arms gave way.
Oh wow, there it is... a kiss to reinforce their friendship, that already compensated for the fact that we could not see Courtney's butt during this challenge... I think touching Heather's chest awakened a little bit of my kinky side today, and I thought I was getting used to it because of Izzy's antics... In any case, they're going to be furious the rest of the week.
Confessional
Gwen
She was enthusiastically brushing her teeth and rinsing with mouthwash at the same time, "my friends back home will never respect me again," she said, then continued brushing her teeth.
Chris
"Hahahahahahaha, don't you love these guys? They are definitely my ticket to the red carpet."
End of confessional
"Oh nice," Harold said, but in his distraction he forgot that he was half-crossed over a laser.
*Zap*
"Uuuuh my kiwis!", ouch.
"Okay, brain, it's all up to you," Justin said to his reflection in the mirror, you know the situation is bad when he says something like that, "I know you haven't had a lot of exercise in the past, um... sixteen years, give or take, but you can do this", the model tried to cross through the lasers, but ended up tripping and sliding on the floor, by pure luck the mirror repelled a laser that was going directly towards him, "haha, Mirror mirror in my hand, who is the smartest one of all?", well I would say Cameron, that armor he made in the final of the fourth season was incredible.
Well, now I want to go in there less than before, we're running out of staff here, I have to think something fast, but what?
"In some ways I feel like this is my fault, maybe trying to cross the two at the same time wasn't a good idea," Lindsay said.
"Oh you think!? And the idea of using your best friend as a support to spin without taking into account that you could both end up in this situation!?" said Beth.
"Hmmm... no, that doesn't sound like something I would plan, it's too elaborate, I'm not that smart," Lindsay said.
"I would hit my face... but then I would have nowhere to lean on," Beth said.
"All of this would be easier without all these lasers getting in the way," Lindsay said, it's true, but sadly the only way to turn them off is to break them. the... dome.
My eyes widened like plates of realization, "that's it," I quickly checked my infinite pockets. Please tell me I brought it, please tell me I brought it, yes! My utility knife, hell I hadn't needed it since camp, but luckily I always carry it with me.
Ok, razor, no, scissors (busy at the moment ha), no, spoon, no, corks, no, tweezers, no, screwdriver... hm, it might work.
I prepared to do the hardest pitch of my life, I have to coordinate it well, I'm just going to get one chance.
Duncan managed to get Gwen off Heather, and she hit him quite hard in the chest, "that was for leaving me lying on top of her," said the goth as she tried to remove Heather's lipstick from her mouth.
Duncan for his part just smiled, "hey I thought you were fighting and I didn't want to get involved", he lied shamelessly, Gwen looked at him with half-closed eyes.
Concentrate, this will be the most important shot of your life so far, "abnormally good aim, don't fail me now", I threw my knife through a hole in the lacers to the dome, everyone was looking expectantly at what was going to happen, the knife was flying through the air without deviating, please hit it, please hit it.
*Clannnnnk*
The screwdriver tip of the knife cleanly struck the glass dome emitting a slight resonant sound. We all held our breath.
*Crack*
A crack opened at the point of impact...
...
..
.
And that's all that happened, "Oh come on!" I complained, that always worked in the movies.
"Squawk," Kevin?
The seagull flew calmly between the lasers and sat atop the dome.
*Peck*
...
..
.
*CRACK*
And with a single peck in the crack, the glass shattered completely, "What the fuck?" I said stunned.
"Squeal (tks, presumptuous)".
The lasers began to go out, Heather collapsed to the ground in relief, Beth and Lindsay collapsed, Justin and Harold broke free, well, exactly as I had planned.
"Well done Cody," Harold said.
Confessional
Justin
"With my newfound intelligence I could have thought about it too."
Duncan
"Pff, it was just luck," he said with his arms crossed.
End of confessional
I went to the broken glass and took the bag with the reward, "thank you," I said to the seagull while stroking its head. I don't know if he was happy because his expression didn't change at all, but I guess he was.
The others came and came up to me, "well done," Heather said with a dry look, "I was angry that you left me back there... with her," she said, pointing to Gwen who refused to look at Heather, "but since you won the reward I guess I can let it go," I smiled.
*Blow*
"Ouch!" she slapped me on the arm.
"Now, I can let it go," she said opening and closing her fist, I guess it's fair.
"So what's in the bag?" asked Beth.
"Well...", I said putting my hand in.
...
POV. Lindsay
"A grappling gun and wire cutters," Cody said pulling things out of the bag, too bad, I wish there was something more useful, like lip balm, my lips have been dry lately.
"Wait a minute, didn't Chris say something about disarming bombs and buildings about to explode?" said Heather in fear.
The floating screen where Chip was coming out turned back on, "The room blows in ten, nine...!" he said starting a countdown.
"AHHHHHH!"
My eyes widened, are we going to die here!? My heart began to hammer hard in my chest, but...
Beth hugged Justin, "I love you Justin!" she cried.
"I love myself too!" he said as he hugged her back.3
"Guys...", Cody tried to speak.
"Well, it was a pleasure to team up with you Pasty, despite our... small differences," Duncan said.
"The same thing I say, I wish...," Gwen stopped.
"What?" asked Duncan.
"It's nothing," Gwen said.
"Guys," Cody called again.
"I'm too knowledgeable to die!" said Harold.
"I just hope my face is on every TV show after this," Heather said resignedly.
"Squeal (at least we'll leave just like Rabioso)."
"Squawk (With rabies?)".
"Squeal (no, in a building about to explode)."
"Guys!"
But... I haven't told him how I feel yet.
"Gu-!" I grabbed Cody by the shoulders startling him.
If this is really the end then I'll tell you everything, I have so many things I regret, not making peace with Heather, not going to Paris, not knowing what a baguette is, never trying pineapple lipstick, never finding out if the refrigerator light is still on after you close it, finding out if my toys were moving when I'm not looking at them... I want to leave without at least one regret.
"Hey, Cody, this is probably something sudden, and I understand if you don't feel the same way, but we're about to be blown to pieces so at least I'd like you to know before we go to the other side," I said hurriedly.
"Lindsay what-?"
"We went through a lot of things, remembering the names, the bear attack, you clutching my breast while you slept, the bikes, our fight, our second fight, our reconciliation and our friendship kiss", wow... we have been through many things, I am surprised to remember them all, is this what they call seeing your life pass in front of your eyes?, "all this led me to realize that... I like you very much! In a romantic way! and I wish I could date you even if you already have a girlfriend I wouldn't have minded being the second", I know I said I wasn't going to get into his relationship with Izzy, but here on the verge of death, I realize that would be a big mistake, I really love Cody, and the idea of never seeing him again, It terrifies me so much, I think I'm shedding tears, my vision is blurring, "maybe I'm selfish and if so then I want to be the biggest selfish person of all and I hope you can accept my feelings even if it's this one time", the countdown was at 3... 2... nothing happens here.
I joined our lips in one last kiss and hugged him with all my strength. Yes, I definitely don't know how to kiss friends, because this one doesn't feel like one either.

"¡1... pffffffffff!".

The silence that followed was deafening, everyone was incredibly still trying to take in not the fact that they were still alive, but having heard the most sudden and bizarre declaration of love in history, which was shouted at the top of their lungs for literally the whole world to hear.
But once it had settled in, everyone proceeded with the appropriate reaction.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?"
Confessional
Gwen
"Okay... I suspected it for a while, but still... wow, just wow."
Duncan
"I thought he had already had her... I've been proven wrong," he said with an indifferent shrug.
Harold
"Oh, how I wish my beloved LeShawna had been here, I'm sure she would have confessed to me in the heat of the moment, some of us are just unlucky."
Beth
"Yeeeeeeeeeeeees! She proposed to him! It means she's not interested in Justin at all!" she said cheerfully.
Justin
"WHAT!? Once again a girl has pushed me aside! For Cody!? That's not possible, Lindsay was supposed to be part of my alliance, even if I'm a circus freak now, and once again that geek has ruined everything," he said slamming the table.
Heather
She was massaging her head, "well, in hindsight, this was more than obvious, all the signs were there, weren't they? You could tell from miles away that she liked him," she said, massaging herself faster and faster, "I knew it! But he was supposed to have a girlfriend! That must have been more than enough to dissuade her! And yet she goes and does this stupid thing RIGHT NOW!", she was now scratching her head erratically, "AND NO, I'M NOT JEALOUS AT ALL! IF SHE WANTS TO BE THE THIRD WHEEL IN THAT RELATIONSHIP CIRCUS, THEN IT'S HER PROBLEM, NOT MINE! HOWEVER, SHE BETTER NOT THINK THAT SHE CAN GO AND SNATCH HIM FROM ME! BECAUSE HE IS MY ALLY! I SAW HIM FIRST AND HE NOTICED ME FIRST! WHAT DOES THAT BLONDE BITCH WITH HALF A BRAIN THINK SHE THINKS...!?", she remained silent, then hit the camera with her fist completely breaking the lens, in the background you could hear her angry grunts.
End of confessional
...
POV. Cody
I tried to tell everyone that Chris wouldn't kill us, but they were too busy being naïve and saying goodbye to the world as we know it. Unfortunately, there was someone who took it worse than the rest, and said person right now is paralyzed with her arms around my neck while shaking slightly, her sweet and fruity lips are still against mine, I think she is afraid to separate and face ... Well, the entirety of the world that had just witnessed her strange statement, I could even feel the heat radiating from her fiery face at this moment.
On the positive side, I know how Lindsay feels now, on the negative side, the face that Heather looks at us with is starting to terrify me, I think she's a little angry that Lindsay would do something so bold and just when she had let me touch her breast, definitely, a tsundere.
Lindsay finally parted our lips, but immediately hid her face in my neck, I think she needs time to not want to disappear into some hole in the ground.
Unfortunately time and consideration are privileges that do not exist in this program, since Chris spoke again.
"Hahahahahahahaha, of course that wasn't a real countdown, wow, I hope no one said anything embarrassing or revealing thinking it was their last moments of life hahahaha," Chris said.
"Mmmmm...", I felt Lindsay shrink even more in my neck.
"Not funny Chris," I said to the scoffing host, I have to get Lindsay to get on the same page again or she'll miss her chance with the bombs.
"That's where you're wrong, it's very funny," said the malevolent presenter aspiring telenovela villain, "anyway, you'll need the zipwire gun and the wire cutters for the next spy challenge, whether Cody our beloved blonde-conquering geek decides to share his tools or not, that's up to him. Oh, by the way, hahahahaha the first countdown was just a test, the real count starts now 30... 29...," Chris said.
Well, we have time against us, it's not the time to stand still being miserable... but first, "Hey Chris," get his attention, "Woof, woof, woof!"
"Scared meow (Dog! I hate dogs!)".
"AHHHHHH! Not again!" the white cat came out of nowhere and lunged at Chris scratching him in fear.
"Lindsay, hey Lindsay, we have to move now," I said.
But she shook her head, "Lindsay isn't available at this time."
I sighed, I guess it doesn't matter anymore right, I moved her head to make her look at me again and gave her a quick kiss on the lips to let her know that I'm not upset, this surprised her, "we'll talk about this later, yes, I... I haven't answered you yet, right?" I said. She blushed, but smiled awkwardly nodding her head, well that's better than nothing, she finally let go, time to work, "we have to get out of here and fast", even if the building doesn't blow up, this is a challenge and the challenge is to get out of here before the time runs out.
"We can use the zipline to get out of here," Harold said, "but we need another structure of some kind for it to grab onto."
I moved to the side of the wall and opened it like LeShawna did the first time, outside was the warehouse that was our goal, "well I think that place is pretty good," I said to the rest, no one protested, "I'm going to throw the rope."
"Not so fast," Heather said, snatching the gun from me, this will be interesting.
"Oh, now what? We don't have time for nonsense," Gwen said.
"What makes you think we're going to get you out of here?" asked Heather arrogantly, that woman can change her mood in proportion to the control she has over someone.
"Excuse me? Cody won the reward, you can't hoard it," Beth told her.
"He's my ally," she said, looking undisguisedly at Lindsay, damn, she's incredibly jealous, "therefore I have the same right to the prize as he does, and I say you'll need to give something in return if you want us to get you out of here," she said.
"Are you going to let her get away with it like that?" Gwen complained.
I raised my hands in surrender, "she let me touch her boobs, she has my hands tied", Heather put a mortified look and then looked at me with murderous intentions, if you are going to behave like the bitch you were before, then I will punish you as I did before, I'm not afraid of you darling.
"Wow, I knew that sooner or later she would lose what little dignity she had left," Gwen said rolling her eyes.
"Shut up!" shouted Heather angrily, "I have the gun, so offer something worthy or you'll have to pick up your pieces off the ground when this explodes!" she said, with only 15 seconds left on the clock.
"How about my fire ant farm?" said Harold.
"My French maid's suit," Beth said, Heather in a maid's suit... it is worth dreaming.
"Dark blue lipstick," Gwen said.
"A voucher to hit someone you dislike for free," Duncan said.
"A photo autographed by me," Justin said.
"My curling iron?" Lindsay said, it looks like she's already calmed down a bit.
"You are all pathetic," Heather said, rolling her eyes.
8 seconds, ok, this is ridiculous, "no one votes for us in the next elimination challenge," I said.
"What? Not that-" Heather was about to say.
"Deal," Gwen said reluctantly.
Duncan sighed, "deal."
"Good," Beth said.
"We have a deal," Harold said.
"Yes," Lindsay said.
"But-agh, deal," Justin said annoyed.
"What do you think you're doing?" Heather complained to me.
"I got us an immunity pass for the next challenge, I don't know what you're complaining about," I told her as I snatched the gun from her, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't think of anything to refute.
In one motion I aimed and shot the hook to the warehouse a little below us, it began to retract and then caught in the corner of the building. Wow, my aim is improving.
I wrapped the wire around the pillar and secured it, "all set."
"How are we going to get there with a single cable?" asked Justin.
Well, if it works, why change it? I walked up to Harold and took his belt, then held it out to Duncan who raised his eyebrow.
"You have stronger arms than mine," I think.
"Good," the criminal said, reluctantly taking the belt.
"Screech (Freedom!)", Butchie came out of the hole riding Kevin, I've seen stranger things.
...
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!", we all got out of the building holding on to the criminal who was holding on to his belt as we slid onto the roof of the warehouse.
*Fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall, fall*
We all ended up falling into the building, "Get ready for the fireworks!" said Harold covering his ears.
From here we could see how the fuse reached the end of a set of fake bombs... and that's it, there was no explosion.
"Aww. Another false alarm?" the nerd said again.
"I know I've said this hundreds of times, but I really hate that little man," Gwen said with her arms crossed.
"As if we have the budget to blow up and entire building," Chris said behind us leaning on something covered with a tarp, "I was just playing with you, again, because I can."
"It's not funny," Lindsay said spitefully.
"I nearly peed my pants," Beth said.
"Right, hehehe, nearly," Harold said as he hid the pee stain by pulling up his pants again, how disgusting.
"All right, kiddies, time for your next super spook challenge, maybe it will bring back some Cody memories," Chris said as he removed the tarp to reveal barrels of stinky bombs, yeah, how nostalgic, "In front of you, you will see eight bombs, you will have to deactivate the bombs with only the tools you got from the last challenge. The wire cutters, oh wait, isn't Cody the only one who has it? And oh isn't Heather the only one who can use them besides him?" said Chris mocking the others who looked at him with spite, "hahahahahaha, well, everybody else will just have to find their own way of cutting the wires, any questions?"
Harold raised his hand, "Where can I get the bomb schematics?"
"Do bombs come with instructions?" asked Beth, Lindsay kept quiet, I guess she still has other things on her mind.
"Cool, if there are no questions," Chris said ignoring us, "then what are we waiting for?" he said as he left, but stopped suddenly, "Oh, yeah, one more thing. Those barrels are filled with the most stinky, the most noxious substances known to human kind, yeah, that's right, we're talking major stink bombs."
"You mean worse than Owen's farts?" asked Harold.
"Yes. Yes it is. Yo, Chef!" the presenter called.
The cook arrived in an elevator in a white tennis uniform, I have so many questions right now, "Why can't you handle this? I'm busy!" he complained, flipped a switch and the bombs began their countdown simultaneously.
"Good luck. 'Cause this time, you're really gonna need it," Chris said as he left along with the chef.
Lindsay chose the same bomb as last time I chose the one next to her, Beth was next to Justin at the other end, Heather was the one following me.
While Duncan and Harold were arguing about who was worse at disarming bombs, I started to check everything I could about mine in the short time we had, indeed, it was similar to the one I disarmed on the island, but from what Chris said each one was armed differently, so I had no way to defuse it without making a mistake.
Something is weird here, Chris is an idiot and I'm sure he wouldn't mind blowing stink bombs in our faces, but this challenge was pretty much impossible to win, Lindsay was very lucky here, what am I not seeing?
I felt a slight tug on my sleeve, Lindsay wanted to get my attention, "Can you turn it off?"
"I don't know, it's not like the one I deactivated at camp," I said, "And you? Do you have any ideas?", she looked at the cables thoughtfully, "Lindsay", she looked at me again, "don't underestimate your fashion sense", I told her, she opened her eyes, then looked at the bomb.
Then she held out her hand to me, "lend me the wire cutter", I held it out to her without hesitation, "It's the blue one, out of all colors, it's the most fashion-forward", she said.
"Are you going to cut the cord based on that?" asked Heather with total skepticism. Lindsay's determination did not waver, "we are dead."
"Only if I'm wrong," Lindsay said, then cut the cord, and the timer on her pump stopped, "YES!" she shouted excitedly.
"Everyone, cut the blue wire fast," Gwen said.
We all managed to cut the wires, Lindsay gave Heather the wire cutter and she reluctantly accepted it, I used my pocket knife, too bad it didn't work.
"Brain, this just might be the start of a beautiful friendship," Justin said.
Before everyone relaxed, I pointed out the obvious, "the other bombs didn't stop, they must have been armed in a different way," I told them with real alarm.
"Brain, we are so over," the resentful model said.
"What do we do now?" said Beth in fear.
Alright fate, I know you love to fuck me up by complicating things more than they already are despite how hard I try, so, for once, I'm going to be the one to fuck you.
"Didn't disarm a bomb on the island, only for another one to explode here, throw the bombs over the edge of the roof," I said hurriedly, taking advantage of the seconds we had left we laid down the barrels and rolled them over the edge of the roof, then we ran to the opposite edge and jumped.
"AHHHHH!"
*BOOOM*
The explosion was heard quite close, but the walls of the warehouse protected us. That idea came to me at the moment, it was more of an angry impulse than a plan as such, but it worked, all thanks to the fact that we were on the roof... or maybe that's why we did the challenge on the roof, to throw the bombs if we discovered in time that they are not all the same, the only reason they didn't have time to think the first time, was because Courtney was being mean with the wire cutter, Am I thinking about it too much?
"Phew, that one was really close," Duncan said.
The air around us changed color and...
"Shit, that's disgusting!", The smell was horrible!
"Let's get out of here!" said Harold, then proceeded to flee the area.
...
POV. Third person
Chris was sitting a long way from ground zero of the explosion, "wow, it looks like they noticed, too bad, it would have been fun to watch them really stink hahahahahahaha."

POV. Cody
We were back in the rest area, the air still looked and smelled terrible, "the good news," Chris said with a mask to avoid the smell, "is that none of you were bathed in stinky substances, the bad stuff, the bombs still exploded, filling the air with foul smells and we only had two masks, one for me and one for Chef," said the presenter.
"The other good news, more tomato soup for dinner," Chef said as he stirred a giant cauldron with the red mixture.
"Good for us," Gwen said sarcastically.
"Cody and Lindsay, as the winners of the first and second challenges, you get the reward! An all expense paid trip to the local cheese factory, the two of you... alone... one with the other in a small space for several hours hahahahaha," Chris said, emphasizing the latter.
Lindsay blushed slightly, Heather as dignified as she is, turned her face with a rather audible and not at all jealous "hmph".
"While on tour, you'll get to sample all the cheeses of the world from blue cheese to green cheese to head cheese, which isn't technically a cheese… but reeks just the same," Chris said, but Lindsay wasn't listening anymore.
"Hey, Chris? How long do we have to soak until the stink wear off?" asked Harold.
"Oh, I'd say… another twelve hours should do", everyone complained about this, "hahahahahaha", with that he left.
...
POV. Third person
Chris took off his mask in an area that had no stench, "well that's it, the teams are no more and love dramas fill the air, as well as the bad smell, let's see how these stinkers do on their own next time on TOTAL... DRAMA... ACTION!".
"Meowing furiously," the white cat returned to take revenge on Chris.

POV. Cody
Lindsay and I were sitting in both corners of the lame-o-sine as it took us to the cheese factory, she was looking out the window as she hugged her knees.
The silence was a little awkward knowing how bubbly Lindsay is in general, she didn't know how to approach the elephant in the room, it was so sudden, but she told me under the false notion of certain death, so I'm sure everything she said was serious, she really feels that way.
"Uh, Lindsay? About what happened during the challenge..."
"...Could you please forget it?"
"...", I looked at her, she was still looking out the window, but from here I could see her red ears.
"I... I said a lot of embarrassing things at the time," you kissed me, too.
"...Was it a lie?"
"NO!" that was enough to make her turn around and look at me, "no... It wasn't a lie, it's all true... I really like you a lot."
*Heartbeat*
"Why would you want me to forget it?"
"... because I was ready to quit," that surprised me, "I was ready to tell you how I felt, just so I could get it off my chest and then forget about it," it didn't seem like that was her intention at all.
"...Is it because of Izzy?" she shook her head, "is it because... Tyler?"
She blinked, "Who?" I almost choked on my own saliva.
"Eh... that tall, he played sports, now he thinks he's a nerd..."
"Oh, that Tyler...", then she does remember.
"You know? He actually did everything about becoming a nerd for you-."
"I know."
"...", ok, now I'm definitely surprised, shown by my dumbfounded expression "y-you... you know?".
She nodded, now smiling sadly.
"So why did you pretend that you didn't?"
"... because I stop liking him when he changed...", she said, "Tyler changed just a little and I stopped liking him", she said sadly being aware that what she said sounded bad, "I have always rushed when it comes to boys, I saw him on the island and immediately the first thing I noticed was that he was cute, everything else didn't matter."
"And when he became a nerd he was no longer the cute boy you liked," I realized.
She nodded, "I'd fallen in love with the jock kid at camp and not really Tyler."
Then I got a realization, that's why it was so hard for her to remember him, she never really noticed Tyler, the Lindsay from before didn't really look at people, she only kept some details of them, so when she stopped seeing him during the second season her interest had dissipated and that's why she didn't remember him when they met again in the third one, because she didn't really know who Tyler was, ouch, that's actually sad.
"Tyler is a good guy, but at the time I noticed him for the same reason I looked at my other boyfriends, because of passing attraction... not out of love, it took me a long time to realize that," she said resting her head on her knees.
"... But you did it," I told her, she looked at me, "many spend their whole lives chasing the wrong people, and they never realize it," I said looking at nothing.
"Well, I think Gwen should win."
"Really? But she rejected you on international TV for someone more cooler, hunkier and more stylish."
"Thanks for pointing that out, Lindsay, haha, Gwen is my dream girl. I'm just not her dream guy. But as long as she's happy, hey, I'm happy."
"It's not easy to shake off that fog of deception that forms in front of your eyes when you're chasing that person you think is everything to you, when all they do is cut you off from everyone else around you," as my friends began to drown in their problems, what did I care about all that? That the girl I liked had once again chosen someone else, that if I could save her from expulsion she would somehow notice me, that my world had ended when she left. What a big idiot I was, sometimes it makes me want to find myself back then only to hit me in the face really hard and yell at me "you're not the only one who has problems", "but you managed to figure it out for yourself Lindsay, and that's awesome", I said with a smile.
She blushed, "Has it happened to you?"
I looked at her for that, "...Why do you ask?" I said somewhat distantly.
"Because you look sad right now," she told me.
"...", Was it like that? I guess I hadn't realized how I looked while I was reminiscing about the past, "it happened to me... more times than I'm willing to admit," I said scratching my head, "and I wasn't even able to realize it alone," Sierra is always going to be my karma for acting ignorant, "even in that I've been very wrong," I finished.
We are silent for a moment, two people who are once again trying to come to terms with themselves.
"If it's not because of Izzy, or Tyler, then why didn't you want to have a relationship with me?" I asked him, getting to the point again.
"... it's because of me... because... I don't deserve it," I looked at her without understanding, "you're the most amazing person I've ever met in my life, both for being cunning, smart, kind and brave, and for not being afraid to be vulnerable when you're with me, and show me your flaws, and how you don't let any of that get to you," she said, "I really fell in love with all about you."
*Heartbeat*
"While the only thing I have in my favor is... that I am attractive... and that's it. I'm not smart, attentive or skilled like Izzy, I'm clumsy, ignorant and very superficial. And even though I'm trying hard, I still don't feel like I could be someone who would make you happy if we were in a relationship... People will probably say you dated me just because I'm hot," she said embarrassed of herself.
"..."
"..."
So, Lindsay is self-conscious about her lack of intelligence now, I've never seen her question her own lack of intellect before, not even the adult Lindsay had ever cared about being stupid, she was always proud of being nothing more than a blonde bombshell. But now she's asking herself if it's okay to be anything more than that... It's amazing. And I know exactly what the answer to this incredible question is.
I slid down the seat and sat next to Lindsay, she flinched when I touched her side. I looked straight ahead, "Remember when we ran into that bear in the woods? I almost fainted, it was you who brought me back back then," I said as I remembered her voice calling me, "the first person to befriend Beth, was you. In the extreme sports challenge, you were the one who defeated Courtney in water skiing. And even though Heather manipulated you, the one who swept everyone away in the bike challenge was still you," I said this time looking at her face, "you're a creative girl, you have more style than anyone, you're a master of improvisation, you're very skilled in crafts, kind, considerate, funny, cheerful, very sweet and incredibly beautiful," Now she was blushing, "You're not afraid of people calling you a dumb blonde or laughing at your clumsiness, you don't judge people by their appearance or superficially, and you treat everyone well", I hugged her and started stroking her head affectionately to her total surprise, "You may not be the smartest person, or the most attentive, but that doesn't make you less than amazing... because you are amazing, and for me you always have been", I could feel how she began to sob on my shoulder, I felt her tears spill on my clothes, she returned the hug quite forcefully now, "if you want to know what it is that I feel for you... I'm the same, I like you a lot Lindsay, I like you as much as I like Izzy... and I'd really like to go out with you too if you're okay with being with a fool who can't give his heart to a single girl," I said as I buried my face in her fine blonde hair. This beautiful girl has changed a lot throughout the competition, and yet it seems that there are many things about the original Lindsay that I still didn't know.
Even though she was crying, the only thing I could feel at this moment was serenity in the air, I feel that we have both vented many things here, many things that had been stored for a long time, now I feel a little lighter and I imagine that she does too.
The minutes passed, where we only kept hugging... but the moment had to be broken somehow, and it was Lindsay who did it.
She slowly undid the hug and climbed onto my lap placing one hand on my shoulder and wiped away tears with the other, "if you're okay with me... I... I would very much like to be able to date you," she said with a watery smile.
"I'm not okay with you," I said shaking my head, "that would be like saying that I'm just conforming, when in fact I'm very happy that you told me how you feel and that you were interested in me," she turned red, but kept smiling.
"I couldn't give you the gift that Izzy left you, does it bother you if I give it to you now?"
"... no."
She came over and wrapped her arms around my neck, then kissed me a third time, only this time, her tongue slid down my lip asking for permission, permission I granted her without hesitation, "hmm~", she groaned as her wet and slippery tongue suddenly invaded my mouth, sneaking away and meeting mine, my hands slowly sliding from her waist into her voluptuous ass, Carefully kneading both cheeks, her huge breasts also put pressure on my chest the tighter she tightened her embrace around my neck. This was very different from the way Izzy did it.
"Ah", after spending a few minutes exchanging saliva we ran out of breath and separated, Lindsay licked the trace of saliva on my lips before parting away, we were both panting, but I laughed, "I guess you delivered it as Izzy specified it, right?".
Lindsay burst into red, "she... she was quite explicit," she said, looking away.
"...And did you like it?", now she looked really funny as she got nervous.
"I… didn't dislike it?" she said, trying to avoid the question.
"Pff, I can tell," I said holding back my laughter, Izzy is going to devour her at the slightest opportunity, I feel a little sorry for her.
Lindsay looked at me with squinting eyes and a pout, "pervert, Cody is a little pervert", of course, joke with my height, because that's so mature. This girl is too sweet, I think I'll get cavities just kissing her, but hey, I was always a sweet tooth so I'll be fine. Lindsay grabbed my cheeks and looked at me cheekily, "I already gave you Izzy's gift, now I want to give you one of mine", she put our lips together again, but now she kissed me much more energetically, her tongue went into my mouth without permission looking for mine, her hands crawled through my hair trying to deepen the kiss, and her body pressed against mine trying to crush me.
Now I officially have two girlfriends... Two of the sexiest girls I've ever met in my life, no less... woah... I wonder how long it will take to get to the cheese factory, hopefully there is still a long way to go, I don't want this moment to end yet.
