Mutiny on the Soundstage
POV. Third person
Chris begins to narrate, "last time on Total Drama Action. There was a lot of tension and grudges between the four finalists. In the animal friends challenge everyone had to empathize and work with a different beast and become its friend. While for some it was relatively straightforward...", Lindsay talks to her raccoon, "for others it was a somewhat difficult task", Harold argues and scolds his chameleon, "there was an interesting friction between Heather and Justin, as well as a strong competitive spirit on the part of the blonde and queen bee. In the end, Heather won the first challenge, had Harold beaten up by sharks, and ended up being crowned the first runner-up of the competition. Wow, that girl isn't playing. While Heather took care of Harold, Lindsay had a little encounter with Justin, with whom the dear friendly and sexy blonde, taught us that she can also be mean and sexy," Lindsay abandons Justin in the hole with the horny bear, "and in a 160-degree turn, your host exploded everyone's minds when he revealed that the reward for second place in the challenge, it was nothing more than the second pass to the final, thus making Lindsay the second finalist and sending Harold and Justin to lick their wounds with the rest of the other losers", Chris is standing next to the trailers, "thank goodness they left, I was starting to get tired of them hahahahaha, who will win the million dollars in the final of this epic cinematic crusade? Find out right now, in today's episode of TOTAL... DRAMA... ACTION!".

It was nighttime, Lindsay and Heather were in the girls' trailer. The blonde brushed her silky hair in front of the mirror, while Heather just stared up at the ceiling lying on her bed, reflecting on the fact that she had actually made it to the finals with Lindsay, just as they had promised last season. However, she wasn't necessarily happy about that fact.
*Heartbeat*
She slightly looked away from the ceiling... Lindsay's round, bubbly butt, covered in her skinny pink pajamas. She quickly turned her gaze to the ceiling with a slight blush. This had been going on a lot in the last hour.
'There are only the two of us left... there's literally no one else around... shit, how awkward', now that Lindsay had made clear her intentions to make her confess to Cody, added to the fact that she kissed her in the process, it was clear that the blonde was now looking for something more than friendship from her (Lindsay never said it explicitly, but it was more than obvious), so it was a little uncomfortable for her to be alone with the blonde, more because Lindsay did everything possible to get closer to her.
"I can't believe we made it to the two finalists, it seems like a dream... you don't think this is a dream... Do you?" asked Lindsay as she approached Heather's bed.
'Four bunk beds and she chooses the bed under me, sure, why not?', "What are the chances that we're both dreaming the same silly thing? Better go to sleep now."
Heather was a little startled when Lindsay's head appeared on the edge of her bed, "that would be great, can you imagine if we dreamed the same thing at the same time?" she asked excitedly.
Heather squeezed her nose with her hand and pulled it, "I see that you feel very comfortable in my personal space, don't you?" she complained. Lindsay's face turned a little red with embarrassment. Heather blurted out, "I remind you that you and I are not friends. We had an alliance to beat the guys and they're gone, which means our deal is up too, we're enemies now, 'cause, I don't know about you, but a million dollars sounds very tempting to me."
Lindsay pouted as she rested her head on the edge of the bed, "Why do you always have to be so mean?"
"Because when you're not the one stepping on others, then you're the one being stepped on, and I don't let anyone step on me," is part of the reason she didn't want to date Cody, she'd be giving in, which in her eyes would be the equivalent of begging him to step on her... more than he already has.
"That ... it's an ugly way of looking at life," Lindsay said somewhat sadly, "no one has stepped on me before, people like me, and I've always been nice to them," she said as she walked away from Heather's bed a bit.
She took the opportunity to shamelessly look at Lindsay's stunning body, "yes, I guess it's because everyone loves your big, big personality, right?" she said while watching Lindsay's braless chest bounce with every breath or movement of the blonde.
Lindsay didn't understand at first, then she did, and her cheeks turned red. She put her hands on her hips, "Hey! I'm more than big breasts and a nice butt," she claimed, it's not like she's embarrassed that Heather looks at her, everyone does.
"But you didn't have a problem with making everyone think that for years, did you?" said Heather.
Lindsay certainly had multiple talents beyond being a huge pleasure to look at, the girl built her a damn motorized bike by herself. Only Izzy or Cody were capable of anything like that... and maybe Duncan. But Lindsay preferred to get more out of her beauty than anything else she knew how to do. Yes, she lacked a lot in the intellectual department, but she was not useless as Justin would be, who lived only from his attractiveness... now unattractiveness, she shuddered at the thought that he once liked the narcissistic model. And she wasn't a charlatan who bragged about her skills, only to fail later, as Harold would, either. He may be one of the smartest, she'll grant him that, but he was an idiot in general who didn't know when to shut his mouth.
Lindsay had qualities of both and had learned to take advantage of them better than those two fools during this season. But there's no denying that for too long she was deliberately squandering her potential. If she was as sexy as Lindsay, the world would already be in the palm of her hand...
Lindsay sighed and sat on the bed below, "now I can't even beat you in a conversation," she complained, "besides, everyone told me it wasn't important if I wasn't smart," said the blonde, "my parents said they never needed it and they're doing well."
'Surely they are just as attractive as her, I wouldn't be surprised'.
"My teachers always approved me, my friends said it wasn't important that I didn't remember their names, my boyfriends didn't either, and the other cheerleaders said I didn't need it, I just had to ask a nerd to do my homework like they did... and now I'm ashamed to admit that I actually did," Lindsay said.
'The teachers probably thought they would get away with putting their hands on her, the friends definitely didn't mind being extras as long as they could jerk off with her pics, the boyfriends wanted someone innocent for sure, and the friends were definitely bitches', in a few seconds Heather's astute mind had guessed all the intentions of the people who were around Lindsay's life, And honestly, she felt incredibly disgusted with what it entailed.
Perhaps the blonde's ignorance was actually a blessing in disguise, because otherwise she would have realized long ago that the whole world wants to rape her. And maybe she wouldn't be the radiant person everyone here knew, but a huge slut, like stereotypical blondes, or a social outcast disgusted with her own body.
The fact that no one had managed to get their claws on Lindsay meant that there were at least one or more people protecting the blonde... That or everyone who wanted something with her was too busy jumping on each other like dogs who don't want another to take a bite of their blond steak, causing them to repel each other. And Heather was definitely going to bet on the latter, since she doesn't have faith in humanity anyway.
Although she now understood why Lindsay was so slow to learn, have you ever seen a nerdy blue-eyed blonde? Because Heather doesn't, and no one would like the girl they want to fuck, to suspect that they want to fuck her, for that it was necessary for her to continue being stupid.
Sure, this was all just a theory born out of Heather's suspicious, paranoid mind, but she was used to seeing the ugliest side of the school hierarchy, so at the very least she's going to keep the idea hanging with a pin.
Lindsay smiled to herself, "Then Cody started helping me remember everyone's names, and teaching me a lot of things... it was so funny, I didn't know that's how it felt to know things," Lindsay enthused. For her Cody represents a singularity in her life (although she doesn't know the word), he was someone who, for no reason, wanted to help her with her memory problem, that alone was enough for her to put him in a higher value than the rest of the boys, and she was not wrong, because the geek, although he was also a bit perverted never stopped being a good friend to her. And in this second season, although she was initially angry about the pickle thing, she also realized that Cody wasn't underestimating her at the time like many others would, and when she hit rock bottom, he was there to pick her up, despite how she treated him, "I think I was going to fall in love with him sooner or later, I just didn't know... Does that make sense?"
Heather didn't answer her, she was busy smiling sadistically. She'll certainly agree that Cody was perhaps the best choice for Lindsay, considering all the other possibilities. Now the reason he was smiling, is because if his theory about Lindsay's life was at least partly true, then right now there were hundreds of people crying tears of blood, cursing their deities, dying inside and out, all in the face of the stark reality that the sexy blonde hottie they were chasing for years had been taken and devoured without any of them being able to do anything in this regard, rather than screaming bloody murders into the air hoping that they would reach Cody somehow.
Oh that would be, so, so, satisfying to see. She remembers how she felt herself when they heard about it from Chris that day. The queen bee's cheeks turned red. Yes, she felt annoyed at the time, but in a short time to her chagrin, the image of those two doing it went from driving her crazy to turning her on. But she'll be damned if she ever tells anyone.
"I think meeting him changed my life...," Lindsay said, pulling Heather out of her self-satisfaction, ha. Lindsay has certainly changed a lot since last season. She was still very silly and clumsy, but that had become more tender than annoying, and now she was able to jump into action when needed, so she balances herself out.
"Yes, he certainly came to stir up our lives, didn't he?" said Heather between rancor and affection, that geek broke her perfect view of the world, and although it was false, it was still her comfort zone, but she will admit that it was also boring and monotonous, causing her a constant bad mood. Since Cody turned her life into chaos she's been able to feel a lot of different things, and while she's been on the verge of insanity a couple of times, she's never felt so alive in his entire life. There are no boring moments anymore, just madness and lack of common sense all around, and she still doesn't know if that's a good thing or not, but at least she doesn't have the weight of worrying about insignificant things like she used to. It was very liberating...
That doesn't change the fact that she still wants to kill him with her bare hands, but once she does everything will be fine in the world, so that's not important.
*Clink*
The conversation was interrupted when a can releasing a violet gas fell from the gate on the ceiling. Both girls were surprised.
"What is ... That...?", Lindsay fell asleep on the bed.
"Lindsay!?", Heather fought against the dream that suddenly invaded her, "What... the hell...?", but she also fell unconscious.

Kevin was flying through the sky of the movie lot crossing the blue and clear skies, today was a good day. He slowly descended to a half-built pirate ship anchored at the studio's dock, a new and very unusual sight. He approached the boat and sat on Heather's head, who slept tied to the main mast of said ship along with Lindsay.
"Mmm...", the queen bee complained at the new weight on her head.
Kevin inhaled deep air, "SQUAWK!"
"AHHHHHHH!" and flew off as Heather woke up with a start, "What? Who? When? Where?" she tried to move, but realized she was tied up. She looked around in confusion, realizing she was on a boat, wondering who could do this to them, and her expression changed to a frown when she realized who it was, "CHRIS! When I put my hands on him I'm going to..."
Confessional.
Heather
"That little man is going to pay one day for all this nonsense, gassing us and tying us to the mast of a ship? Really?"
End of confessional.
"Lindsay, Lindsay! Wake up!" he shouted to pick up the other girl.
"Mmm... no, that color doesn't match me... zzzz," said the blonde with her eyes closed.
"Agh, LINDSAY!".
"Mmm...", the blonde yawned and opened her eyes, "good morning Heather, why are you screaming?", the queen bee stared at her rolling her eyes. Lindsay looked at the boat around her, the rope that tied them, and the seagulls flying in the sky, "oh... we're not in the trailer anymore, are we?"
"You think!?"
Confessional.
Lindsay
"Okay, anyone is a little confused when it comes to getting up, alright? That's normal."
End of confessional.
"Damn, I can't get out," Heather said as she struggled with the rope.
"If it helps a little, I have a nail file in my pocket," Lindsay said.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" asked the Asian.
Lindsay tried to wrestle against the ropes, but she couldn't do much, "uh, I can't move, could you take it? It's in my back pocket."
Heather's eyes widened and her face turned very red.
Confessional.
Heather
"Okay, I'm pretty sure someone is specifically planning these scenarios, and if I didn't know him better, I'd go so far as to say it's Cody."
End of confessional.
Heather moved her hand to Lindsay's side, slid it down her butt looking for her pocket. Lindsay herself blushed, she didn't think things through when she asked her this.
'Shit, it's too soft', it went through the queen bee's mind, finally managed to find the pocket and put her hand in, but she didn't feel anything.
"Uh, you have to go all the way to the bottom," Lindsay said, Heather rolled her eyes and stuck her hand deeper, "Hip!", Lindsay bit her tongue in embarrassment after making that noise.
Heather preferred to ignore her this time, "I got it," she said, taking the nail file.
Confessional.
Heather
"That was very uncomfortable."
Lindsay
"That was very embarrassing."
End of confessional.
Heather released one of her hands and began to file the rope very quickly. A few seconds later it began to smoke, and then it came loose. The rope fell harmlessly at her feet.
"Yes! We're free!" Lindsay said as she hugged Heather with her cheeks together to her irritation.
"Enemies, remember?" she said as she put her hand on the blonde's face and pushed her away from her personal space... once again.
Chef arrived pushing a cart just then, "Breakfast anyone?"
"From you? No thanks," Heather said skeptically.
Chef shrugged, "you lose," removed the cover of a tray to show freshly made pancakes, fresh fruit, juice, crispy bacon, eggs and blackberry muffins, everything looked very appetizing. The two hungry girls opened their mouths in amazement and desire at the sight.
*Growl*
Lindsay's stomach even made a noise, "oops, sorry."
Confessional.
Lindsay
"Okay, I didn't want to say it, but Chef's food is not that good, however that breakfast not only looked edible, it looked delicious, it almost made me want to cry," she said while wiping away a tear.
Heather
"It seems that what they say is true, there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel."
End of confessional.
Heather and Lindsay took advantage of the situation to fill their stomachs with as much delicious food as they could, even if it was a little suspicious.
Unfortunately, good things must come to an end, and this one did so when a rope appeared over their heads and Chris disguised as a pirate, fell on the table, "Yarr, maties! Me parrot, Chris Jr. Jr. Jr. and I want to congratulate ye landlubbers for making it to the final two! And as ye can probably tell, today be... space zombies movie day!" the host said.
"Owwww, I thought they would be luxury cruise ship movies," Lindsay said as she munched on a piece of pancake. Heather slapped her forehead, she had been doing that a lot lately.
"It's actually pirate movie day," Chris told her, "which I thought would be pretty obvious considering my outfit," he said, pointing to his outfit and the fake parrot on his shoulder.
"Don't take offense Chris, but the ruffled shirts don't suit you," Lindsay said with a sneer.
"Pff, hahahahahahaha" Heather laughed at this, even if it was true, that was devastating.
Confessional.
Chris and Chef Hatchet
"Of course they do, I look good with everything," said the presenter with his arms crossed having a tantrum, chef shook his head, but when Chris looked at him, he nodded in agreement with him.
End of confessional.
"Either way a person's opinion of my appearance is just that, and quite the wrong one too," Chris said looking at Lindsay with narrowed eyes, causing the blonde to smile innocently, "so it's not important," he dismissed, "what is important is the challenge that you two will be competing in today." He said as he got off the table, "You're on deck for a swashbuckling obstacle course followed by a treasure hunt through the entire season's challenges. And if you wanna claim your million dollar booty, you better show more determination than your opponent because only one person can win this and everyone at home wants to see a brutal catfight in this final, believe it," Chris said excitedly.
Confessional.
Lindsay
"I could never beat Heather when it came to one-on-one, today I plan to change that, she is about to make a terrible mistake because she is a coward, and I am not going to leave her... uh, probably no one understands what I'm talking about."
Heather
"Lindsay and I have a silly bet. I'm not going to tell you what it's about, but she's most likely going to give it her all to beat me. Too bad, because I don't plan to lose this game a second time, I will take the money and buy myself a life away from my brothers, yes, you heard me damn plagues, I will leave that place long before you do," she said pointing to the camera.
End of confessional.
Chris gave each girl a box of scouring pads, "Obstacle number one, swab the poop deck," he said as Sasquatchanakwa and a bear with a newspaper entered the ship's restrooms.
*Pfff, pffffff*
Heather looked on in horror and a green Lindsay covered her mouth so she wouldn't vomit. Both animals came out of the latrines with noxious gases everywhere, the bear even lit a match for safety, "Obstacle number two, pun intended, grab a flag, shimmy up the greased mast, and fly your jolly roger," Chris said as both girls watched chef grease the flagpole, "And finally, a cannonball! The target is the monster-chomped movie set," Chris pulled out a flintlock gun and pointed it in the air, "Ready, set, and...".
*Bang*
"Go!"
The two finalists ran to a latrine, Lindsay entered the bear latrine and Heather entered the yeti latrine.
*Open*
Immediately after Lindsay ran out of the bathroom, "Bluagh!", and vomited over the edge of the boat, Chris grimaced. Lindsay wiped herself with her hand, "uff, sorry, weak stomach," she said as she walked back to the latrine and inside.
"Ewww, this is so disgusting," Heather complained from her latrine, "Oh shit! Splatter on my clothes! This is horrible!"
Chef approached Chris with his cart, "I get it. The food's laced with laxatives, right? Nice," Chris asked the cook, Lindsay stuck her head out of the latrine, inhaled a big breath of air, and went back inside.
"Nope, just going out in style," the chef replied.
"Going out? What do you mean?"
"That's the last meal I'm ever gonna serve on this two-bit show! I got me a gig cheffing on a swanky cruise ship, so you can kiss my behind goodbye" said Chef as he accidentally smeared his apron with grease.
"Yeah, yeah. And I got a job hosting the Oscars. Very funny," Chris said in disbelief, but the chef stuck the grease brush to his head, showing him that he was no longer his boss.
"Who's laughing?" the chef asked.
Heather peeked through the door, and breathed erratically, "I think the smell stayed in my nose."
"Bluagh!" Lindsay was heard vomiting in the latrine.
"You still have time to quit, you know?" suggested Heather exhausted.
Lindsay's hand came out the door and she pointed at her, "Never!", she went back in, "... eww, eww".
"I had to try, more scouring pads!" demanded Heather, Chris threw them at her and went back inside.
"If our contestants think they have it rough, the people on Chef's fancy cruise ship will have to suffer through his slop with no chance of winning a million," Chris suggestively told the huge cook.
"I don't think you wanna keep going there," the chef warned him.
Lindsay stuck her head out of the latrine, "more... Scouring pads please," asked the blonde.
Confessional.
Lindsay
"I never thought I'd be so upset about getting used to a specific smell, but when the bear gas stopped making me dizzy, I felt like that wasn't right at all," she said as she shuddered in disgust.
End of confessional.
Chris threw more scouring pads at Lindsay, but Heather came out of the latrine and wiped her exhausted forehead, "it looks like Heather is the first to finish the cleanup," the presenter commented. Lindsay gasped as Heather stuck her tongue out at her. The blonde frowned, inhaled deeply, and went back to work.
The queen bee was about to take the flag when Sasquatchanakwa ran by at full speed, and saw with horror etched on his face as he re-entered the latrine.
"Looks like Bigfoot's not done yet!" Chris said.
*Pfffffff, pffffff, pfffff, PFFFFFFF*
"Which means Heather isn't either," he handed another box of scouring pads to the dumbfounded girl.
"Grrrrrr, fu-*HORN*", Heather's incredibly strong curse was silenced by the ship's horn.
In the cockpit of the fake ship, Dennis was playing with the horn string. Chris watched with his mouth open as Heather re-entered the latrine.
"Wow, where does this girl learn words like that? Hahahahahaha," Chris asked the camera humorously.
Lindsay came out of the other latrine all dizzy, "yes... final... ly," she said as she staggered toward the barrel with the flags.
"Congratulations Lindsay, Heather had to go for a second round, so you have a small advantage," Chris told her.
The blonde shook her head to get rid of her dizziness, quickly grabbed the pink flag and headed towards the oiled pole. Once there she put the flag between her teeth and began to try to climb the mast of the ship.
*Slide, boom*
"Ouch!" the pretty blonde fell to the ground hitting her butt, "grease is very... greasy?... no, wait, that doesn't sound good," Lindsay said reflecting to herself.
*Slap*
She slapped both cheeks, "focus, you're in a competition," she said to herself with red hand marks on either side of her face, stood up, held on to the mast and slowly began to climb again.
Chris and Chef watched as Heather ran out of the latrine, grabbed the black flag, and headed for the oiled mast as well.
"AHHHHH!".
*Crash, splash*
Only to watch as Lindsay fell from a great height and went through the floorboards. The queen bee looked up and swallowed, it didn't look simple at all, "well, this is nothing", she put the flag between her teeth as well and began to climb the mast.
"You can't bail. We're a team," Chris told the chef.
"I fly solo. I'm a maverick!" the cook told him.
"AHHHHH!".
*Crash, splash*
Lindsay who was halfway through grimaced as Heather fell from the top and caused another hole in the ground, "I hate this show," the Asian said from the hole.
"Uff, slow and steady, slow and steady," Lindsay said to herself as she climbed very carefully.
"Dude, without this job, you'd still be selling street meat outside the bus station," Chris told the chef. He got angry and walked away from the presenter.
"I did it!" Lindsay shouted from the top of the mast, her flag waving proudly tied to the tip, Heather gasped from halfway down, the blonde slid down and stuck her tongue out at Heather mockingly as she walked past her. This prompted her to move faster.
Confessional.
Lindsay
"I'm very proud of that accomplishment, even though it was small, it's still a win against Heather, and seeing her upset felt so good... Is that a normal thing?"
End of confessional.
The stunning blonde approached the chef and the cannon, "Ever fired an air cannon before?" he asked.
"Oh, do confetti cannons count?" she was always invited to parties and there were always confetti cannons.
Chef rolled his eyes at her answer, "that would have to do, your target is over there, you will have to pump a lot of air if you don't want to end up in the wrong place", chef pointed to the air pump connected to the cannon.
...
"Yes!" shouted Heather after tying her flag. She quickly slid down and ran toward the cannon.
"Uff, I feel like my arms are falling off, now I know why the pirates were so rude," Lindsay used the bomb with all the force her thin arms could muster. Which to the chef's surprise was quite a lot.
"How the hell do you have so much strength in those scrawny arms?" the cook asked.
Lindsay smiled, "don't underestimate the central cheerleader of the pyramid," she said proudly.
Confessional.
Lindsay
"I was used to putting up to two girls in my arms when I was part of the cheerleading squad, but I quit because I didn't look good with muscular arms," she said, flexing her slender, slender arm.
End of confessional.
Heather arrived at the canyon at that moment, "ah, ah, ah, you have to wait your turn," Chris told her stopping her.
"Grrrrrr, shit," Heather said as she stomped her feet and crossed her arms in annoyance.
"I'm sorry Heather, if it makes you feel better, this wasn't easy at all," Lindsay told her as she waded into the cannon.
"How is that supposed to make me feel better? You do know that I have to do it too, right?"
"Oh right... I didn't think about what I was saying," Lindsay said.
"No, you didn't," Heather looked at her, narrowing her eyes.
Confessional.
Heather
"You know what the worst part is? That she's not even trying to provoke me, she just drives me crazy and that's it, she reminds me of a certain unbearable geek," she said pointing to the camera.
End of confessional.
"You gonna fire the cannon or are you just gonna stand there and be useless?" asked Chris to the cook.
"Now you see that? That attitude is why I'm out of here! I've had it with watching you do your bogus job and get all the glory while I'm stuck with all the grunt work!"
Chris was offended, "Hosting is way harder than what you do! I dare you to try it sometime!"
"Fine! Let's go!"
"Fine! Be my guest!" they said, looking at each other face to face.
"Could you put your marital problems aside and continue with the competition!?" Heather complained to them, she still had to pump the cannon and couldn't start until Lindsay was fired.
"Owww, it was getting exciting," the blonde said in the cannon.
"All right," Chris said, he was going to press the button on a remote control, but he thought better of it and gave it to Chef.
*BOOM*
Lindsay flew off and getting lost in the distance, Heather watched her fly for a moment, but then got to work with the air pump.
"Piece of cake, just like the rest of your job," said Chef.
"Oh, you'll see," Chris returned.
"I'll see what? How easy is it?"
"Have you even ever read a cue card?! " they both looked at each other angrily through gritted teeth.
Heather rolled her eyes, "You guys look like my parents... without the part of taking it to bed afterwards... I hope," he said with a disgusted grimace.
And she wasn't the only one, her words made both men grimace disgusted, "that's disgusting, something is definitely wrong with your life," Chris told her.
"And now you realize?" she replied while continuing to pump.
"Well, I'm gonna have to leave you in the hands of Mr. Personality here and get on with my super-easy hosting duties," Chef said.
"I'm totally capable of shooting a girl out of a cannon on my own, thank you."
"Guess we'll see," the chef said as he left.
"Aren't you forgetting something? It's about that time. When people might go to the fridge and change channels and not come back?"
Chef looked at the camera and cleared his throat, " Who will win the million bucks? Who will not? Do not touch that clicker. We will find out right after this! I SAID GET YOUR HANDS OFF THAT CLICKER! "
-0-
"AHHHHHHHHH! "Oh!" Lindsay fell in the middle of the street on the set of monster movies, "thank goodness I was wearing a helmet," she said as she rubbed her sore butt. Seriously, she is going to need a good massage after this.
A helicopter caught his attention. Chef got down, introduced himself in front of her, and began to read a card, "Sweet landing, dude! I'm your righteous new host, uh, Chef!" he said while smiling at the camera trying to be charismatic.
"You? What happened to Chip?" she gasped, "He kicked the bucket?" she asked in alarm.
"Pff, hopefully, we... we fight and decide to play the role of the other to see who has it worse."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, I also fought with my friends," she said sympathetically while patting him on the shoulder, "it's not nice."
"Chris is not my friend," he said as he pushed his hand away, "now your challenge," he said rereading the card, "The rest of today's challenge is a g-narl- uh, gnarly treasure hunt," he said with difficulty.
"Oh, I love treasures," Lindsay said as she clapped her hands enthusiastically.
"Through all the challenges."
"Oh... I had forgotten about that."
"Fortunately, if you correctly answer a trivia question, you skip the challenge and move on to the next one," the cook told her.
"Oh... cool?".
Confessional.
Lindsay
She scratched her head and her cheeks were red, "I've never won a trivia game," she said embarrassedly.
End of confessional.
" Okay, uh… bro. Who got the space boot after the alien movie challenge? " asked Chef.
Lindsay narrowed her eyes and touched her chin a few times, "wait... I have it on the tip of my tongue," she said, "Oh! It was Geoff and Bridgette... Right?" she asked doubtfully.
"It's... Right," Chef said.
"Yes!"
"Followup question."
"Owww...".
"Where was the weirdest place those lovebirds ever made out?"
Lindsay perked up when she heard the question, "oh, that was in Chris's tanning bed, Bridgette kept talking about how good it smelled in there, and Beth and I couldn't stop talking about it," the blonde said as if she was sharing the gossip of the day.
"Tanning bed was enough," complained the chef, "now get out of here," Lindsay went to look for the next location.
...
"Hello? Chris? A little help around here?" asked Heather, the presenter sniffling near her, "Are you crying?"
"No, it's the onions," said the presenter while chopping onions... for some reason.
Heather rolled her eyes, "Would you mind?"
Chris arrived and grabbed the remote, but stopped to wipe away tears, "Darn these salty trade winds."
"We're in a lake," complained the queen bee.
"Chef's leaving the show," Chris told him.
"Oh, I know, I heard it and... I don't care."
Chris kept sobbing, "neither do I."
"I can see that," she said rolling her eyes.
"Who needs him? Because I don't," Chris said with his arms crossed.
"You know what? Fuck it! I'm getting tired of hearing your pathetic sobs, if you care then stop acting like a big idiot and... and...," Heather widened her eyes and lost all her steam, "and... tell him how you really feel about him... before he leaves you forever... and you end up regretting it," Heather sighs annoyed, the universe is sometimes so, so, annoying when it wants to be.
"Yes... maybe you're right," Chris pressed the button.
*BOOM*
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!", and to infinity and beyond.
...
Chef and Lindsay were at the bottom of the fake mountain, "Who was left on the editing floor after the make a movie challenge? And followup, what was she reincarnated from?"
"..."
"You don't have the slightest idea, do you?" the chef asked rolling his eyes.
"I feel like it's something I should know, but my brain is blank," Lindsay shrugged.
Confessional.
Lindsay
"It's been a long time since that challenge, what did you expect me to do?"
Chef Hatchet
"Is there a brain inside that head?"
End of confessional.
"Too bad, you'll have to do the challenge, only instead of dragging equipment up the hill, this time, you gotta haul the hill up the hill!."
"... that doesn't make sense."
"It has it if I say so," he handed a shovel to the blonde so that she could start loading the hill in her wheelbarrow.
"¡AHHHHHHH!".
"I'll be back," said Chef as he left to greet the other competitor.
...
"Ouch!" said Heather as she landed on the set of monster movies.
Chef arrived panting and sweating, "dude, challenge, treasure hunt, trivia, challenge, question, blah, blah, blah," said the tired man.
"Okay... none of that made sense," Heather complained.
"I am not reading all these stupid cue cards again! Just tell me, who was voted off first and why?"
"Ah... Geoff and Bridgette?"
"And where was the strangest place where they have made out?"
Heather rolled her eyes, "You mean Chris's tanning bed? Yes, we all know that story, what ignorant person has not heard it?"
"Well, you can skip the challenge and go straight to the next one."
Now that painted a smile on the queen bee's face, "Yes!", she ran away.
Chef opened his eyes wide when he remembered that he had to be there to receive her at the next point, "agh, damn", then he also started running... again.
...
Lindsay was loading her wheelbarrow with dirt from the fake mountain when Heather arrived and surprised her.
"Owww, no, I lost my advantage," the blonde said.
Heather leaned on her knees to catch her breath, "you... won't get rid of me... so easily...," said the queen bee.
Chef also arrived panting, "you... Who was left on the editing floor after the make a movie challenge? And followup, what was she reincarnated from?"
"... that was Izzy, and according to her it's the reincarnated form of her grandmother Mavis or something like that."
"That's right, you can move on to the next challenge," Chef told her.
Lindsay gasped, "How do you know that?"
"She was bothering me with the matter one night," Heather said as she walked past her, "you better take that dirt up, or you won't be able to see me win."
"Maybe I'll do that!" Lindsay said defiantly. Heather shook her head and went ahead of the blonde now.
"Oh great, now I have to catch up with her again, hurry up or you'll be left behind!" the chef told Lindsay before going after the queen bee.
The blonde lifted the wheelbarrow and began to take her up the hill, "come on Lindsay it's not over yet, thanks for the encouragement brain," she said to herself, "aw thanks for the compliments, but I'm just doing my job."
Chris arrived and saw her talking to herself, "sometimes I really worry about that girl."
...
"Why should I know how the loser Trent developed his fear?" While she watched the entire first season after it was over, she wasn't paying attention to every single detail.
Chef put a saddle on her back, "it's not my problem."
*Whistle*
The queen bee widened her eyes at the sight of an old horse leaping from the top of a platform toward her.
"AHHHHHHH!"
*BOOM*
...
"Then the mime came up behind him surprising him, and no matter how much little Trent ran, he was always there," Lindsay said.
"That's right," the big man said, then discarded the card and ran, Lindsay following closely.
...
"If I remember correctly, DJ loves to cook," Heather said.
"That's right."
...
"Definitely cooking, I still remember the delicious sandwiches he made," Lindsay said eagerly.
...
Chris was in the service store, "Chef is a fool, I mean, all he has to do is cook, and he doesn't even do it right," said the host entering the kitchen.
"Multiple purrs," only to be met with the surprise that a pack of raccoons was breaking into the kitchen. The animals stared at him for a few seconds.
And then they took everything they could and fled.
"Hey! Come back here little vermin!" said the presenter.
"Grunts."
"AHHHHHHHHH!" but a few stayed behind to fight him, "Get out of my hair!" he said as he was subdued by the vandals of the forest.
...
"Hello? Chef?" said Heather who was waiting impatiently for him in the prison camp.
The big man came running and exhausted, he leaned on his knees to catch his breath. Lindsay also arrived and stood next to Heather.
"Oh, great, now she caught up with me because of your slowness," Heather complained.
Confessional.
Lindsay
"Well, that was incredibly rude."
End of confessional.
Lindsay smiled mischievously behind the Asian woman's back, "Yes! I finally caught up with you," the blonde said as she hugged Heather from behind and stuck to her.
*Boing*
Heather froze for a moment as she felt something soft and large pressed against her back, "Hey! Let go of me!"
" Chill! I'm doing the job of two people here! I haven't run this much since basic training!" the cook complained, "now, what are Gwen's lizards called?"
"No idea / Does she have lizards?"
Chef rolled his eyes, indicated to the two girls the obstacle course of the prison escape, "I would move fast, before I release the dogs, they smell fear hehehehehehe".
At the chef's words, both girls opened their eyes and went to the obstacle. Chef collapsed on the floor a second after they left.
...
Chris got up from the ground and took off the pot that the raccoons put on his head before kicking him out of the service store. Now you could see that inside the premises there was a wild party.
"Maybe... I should go check on the others," he said as he slowly backed away.
...
After completing the obstacle course, both girls advanced to the next challenge, where Heather answered badly and Lindsay was the one who beat her now.
*BOOM, BOOM*
"Why am I blindfolded!? The damn mines are buried," Heather complained as she ran through a minefield.
*BOOM, BOOM, BOOM*
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Heather yelled as she flew off with the latest explosion.
...
"Cody won by tickling Izzy," Lindsay said, Chef nodded.
...
"I don't know, Harold liked to brag about everything, how am I going to know what he was really the best at? Was he good at anything he said to begin with?" complained Heather.
Chef shook his head and beckoned, a bear with marshmallow gloves came into the ring, the cook put gloves on Heather's hands. She swallowed hard.
...
"I don't know what Owen's favorite food was... Does it count if I just say food?" asked Lindsay.
Chef looked at the card and thought about it carefully... but in the end he just shook his head.
"Owww".
Chef put a helmet on Lindsay as she climbed into the getaway cart, Sasquatchanakwa was in the other cart ready for the race.
"Be nice to me, I just got my license."
...
While Lindsay competed with the yeti and Heather competed with the bear in making slam-dunks, Chef fell asleep on the side of the basketball court.
Until Chris arrived, "What kind of host are you? Wake up!"
"What? Who? When? Where?" said the exalted cook, "oh, it's you."
" As host, it's your job to ramble on, not to make the contestants ramble on. Listen, let's split the work, I'll go with Miss Bright Smile, and you stay here with Miss Frown."
"I heard that!"
"Good," said Chef.
...
"Justin's best friend is himself," Lindsay said on the bridge of princess movies.
Chris nodded.
...
"Look, I don't remember what rude Izzy yelled during the race, but if you let me skip this challenge I'll tell you something about Chris that you don't know," Heather offered.
Chef raised an eyebrow, "I hear you...".
"Chris doesn't want you to leave."
Chef looked at her surprised, "Really?"
"The pathetic little goblin even cried at the thought of you leaving... him... the show... this thing, whatever you two have," Heather said exasperated.
Chef gave her the thumbs up, Heather smiled and moved on.
Confessional.
Chef Hatchet
"Chris would really miss me if I left?" he said in surprise.
End of confessional.
...
Heather caught up with Lindsay in the cavemen challenge and overtook her by correctly answering the question of which game Courtney has lost the most (chess), getting ahead of Lindsay once again.
"I don't know what color Gwen's panties were, why is that even a question!?" complained Heather.
"Don't look at me, I only read what's on the cards," the chef replied, "now go up," he said while there was the capsule suit of the vomit commenter, Heather was already making a disgusted face.
...
"Izzy! She's the one who sings in the shower," Lindsay replied after thinking about it for a while.
"Right, you still have time to catch up with Heather, you better hurry," Chris dispatched her, Lindsay ran away.
...
"Come on, come on," Heather would say as she tried to play the pattern on the screen with the guitar.
*Zap*
"Ouch!" "Son of a-"
*Zap, Zap, Zap*
"Ouch! Shit!".
...
"Beth's boyfriend's name is Brady," Lindsay said.
"Right."
...
Lindsay and Heather arrived at the next challenge together, surprising each other.
"Ladies, the next question could determine who climbs the golden ladder to Glorytown and who slides down the stinky slide to Loserville," Chris said with the intention of generating tension. The two girls swallowed audibly due to nerves.
"Who got kicked out after the rock star challenge?"
"Cody," they both said at the same time.
"Okay, what's Cody's ideal kind of girl?" asked Chris.
"Ah... the naughty ones?", or at least Lindsay has seen that Izzy is very kinky.
"It's enough for him for them to be minimally feminine," Heather said confidently to Lindsay's surprise.
Confessional.
Heather
"What? It was pretty obvious."
End of confessional.
"That's right," Chris said.
"Yes! I win!" said Heather.
"Not so fast, that was Lindsay's question," Chris said wiping the joy on Heather's face, "Heather, your question is, how many bear scratch scars does Cody have on his body?"
Heather's eyes widened, "What? How do you expect me to know? It's not like we-"
"Thirty seven".
...
..
.
Chris and Heather turned their necks toward Lindsay slowly, "or thirty eight if you count the little one behind her ear," the blonde said thoughtfully.
"How the hell do you know that?" asked Chris as dumbfounded as Heather.
Lindsay's face turned very, very, red, she looked away from them, "I counted them," she barely whispered.
"YOU WERE ONLY WITH HIM ONE NIGHT!" shouted Heather.
Lindsay didn't answer her, just letting out steam from her ears. Perhaps she herself had become a pervert.
"Wow, if that had been your question you would have definitely won... but it wasn't, so they're both tied," Chris said.
"Great, now what?" asked Heather.
"Now, you both have to do the last challenge," Chris said, "hahahaha, hahaha, haha!"
Heather and Lindsay backed off a bit when Chris started laughing like crazy.
"He's being creepier than usual," Lindsay said.
"And I thought that wasn't possible anymore," if Cody was there, he probably would have thought 'just wait a few more years' to Heather.
" That's why, I'm bringing back the shakingest, the quakingest, the bone-mashingest, face-bashingest challenge of all! The disaster movie earthquake challenge!" both Lindsay and Heather turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat at Chris' statement.
"Why do I feel like the questions were asked to achieve this specific situation?"
-0-
Both girls were taken to the terrifying and still very functional, natural disaster simulator. The sight of the sloping piece of street like a ramp and full of dangerous obstacles caused dread in the hearts of both girls. This was one of the most physically painful challenges. Heather almost lost her head here, not to mention when they almost drowned.
Near the ground, three small pests looked at the panorama that unfolded in front of them.
"Meow (that thing is fake and yet my tail is warning me of impending danger)," Dennis said with her hair standing on end and her tail wagging like crazy.
"Squawk (yeah, just by seeing it I want to make the call to fly south immediately)."
"Screech (then this will be decided with a death race to the end of the world)," by world, Butchie meant the piece of land at the top of the ramp.
"Squawk (just as Rabioso prophesied, at the end of the road... there is only the end."
The three animals paid their respects to the two competitors who were most likely going to stretch their legs.
"If something happens to me, I just want you to know that I'd love to be your friend in our next life," Lindsay told Heather.
"Well, I don't."
"Can't you stop being stubborn for once?"
"It's not that... I just don't believe in that nonsense," Heather said rolling her eyes.
"Oh... yes, it sounds pretty much like you," Lindsay conceded.
"And the final challenge to decide the winner once and for all starts now, ready...", Heather and Lindsay got into position, "ACTION!"
Chris turned on the simulator and both girls climbed on top of it.
"Wow! Woah! This is worse than I remembered!" Lindsay swung her arms to keep her balance.
"And the worst part hasn't started yet," Heather knelt for a second as she looked down at Chris's ball-throwing machine.
"Forecast of the day, hail size ping pong balls hahahahaha," Chris was shooting ping pong balls at them, but once both girls found their balance they started climbing up trying to dodge the balls or ignore them as much as possible.
The challenge was hard, yes, but they were no longer the same girls who faced it the first time, they had passed all kinds of tests and an uphill race was not going to stop them. That's why Chris decided to pull out the heavy weapons (i.e. everything he could find), from hammers and keys to bricks and bottles. He put it all in the trigger magazine and threw it at the two competitors.
"Ouch!" said Heather as he hit her with a brick.
*Boing*
"Ouch!" a hammer hit Lindsay in the butt, then it bounced hard.
Confessional.
Lindsay
"I don't know if I'm going to be able to sit down at the end of this," she said as she rubbed her butt.
End of confessional.
"Is it the best thing you can do!? That's pathetic!" Heather yelled at him.
"Yeah, I've been spanked harder," Lindsay said.
"...", Heather stared at her.
"... That didn't sound like I expected."
Chris was annoyed by her comments, so he changed the game, put the ball launcher aside and instead made a makeshift slingshot to throw a toilet at them.
*Boing*
Both girls widened their eyes and bent down.
"Okay... maybe bothering him wasn't the best idea," Heather admitted.
*Boing*
"Keep climbing," Lindsay said when a sink nearly hit them.
"Let's go to the poles, he won't be able to hit us there," Heather said.
Down below, Chris was looking around for something to throw at them.
*Beep, beep, beep, beep*
At that moment Chef arrived in the golf cart bringing a safe the size and shape of a refrigerator, "they made me think of you," said the man.
"Really?"
"Want a hand?"
They both put the safe on the rubber band and began to pull back with effort, "the way you torture the kids... you're a natural, you know that? Knockin' em down, bruisin' em up. Killing their spirits. Nobody can do it quite like you, pal," Chris said.
"You really mean that?"
"If you really wanna leave the show, it's cool. Good luck."
"Hmmm," Chef thought for a moment, "nah… I couldn't leave you all alone like that. You'd be terrible on your own. You're not that good," the cook said with a smile.
"So... you'll stay?" asked Chris happily.
"After a raise... and a vacation."
"Deal."
"Then let's finish these suckers off."
*Boing*
They dropped the safe, but they hadn't realized where the girls had gone when they were pointing at them.
"Ah... aren't they close to…?", asked the chef worriedly.
"Yes... yes, they are," Chris said just as worried.
"Well shit, this is going to be a disaster."
Do you want to take that vacation now?"
"Of course! Let's get out of here!" they got into the cart and escaped.
...
The girls had reached the top of the tubes and had not been aware of the exchange, reconciliation and subsequent escape of the host and the cook.
*Whistle*
Lindsay heard something, and thanks to her (fake) military experience as the admiral her hotness, she immediately put herself on guard and looked for the source of the sound.
Only for her eyes to widen afterward, "Heather watch out!", Lindsay lunged at the other girl knocking her to the ground. The safe flew overhead.
*CRASH*
And it crashed hard into the fake ground making a new hole in the middle of the road.
The two sat down, "you... you saved me," Heather said stunned.
"Hey, you would have done it for me," Lindsay told her.
"No, we both know not," she told her immediately.
"Yes, you would," Lindsay refuted.
"In your dreams," Heather tried to protest.
"I know you would have," Lindsay said confidently.
"Well, you are terrible... judging the... People?"
*Boing, boing, boing*
Heather got stuck staring at Lindsay's cheerful chest as it bounced.
"Heather?" asked the blonde tilting her head like a confused puppy.
Heather continued to look at the blonde's breasts. However, this time it wasn't purely for sexual reasons.
'Are they... Bouncing... faster and faster?', Heather's eyes widened, she looked around and turned pale, "We need to get out of here!"
"Why-?" then Lindsay felt it too, the entire structure was shaking faster and faster, "oh... shit," cursed the blonde as she rarely does.
When Chris and Chef threw the safe, they hit the piston that makes the whole structure move, breaking it down, now it couldn't stop.
Heather saw where the safe fell, "that clown must have damaged something, hold on to anything," Heather told her.
The simulator began to accelerate, now it looked like a mechanical bull that wanted to throw them out of it.
"If this wasn't incredibly scary, it would be a fun attraction!" Lindsay said, trying not to think about how terrifying this was.
"Well, I would never get on it in my life!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!", both screamed in fear.
The piston began to smoke from the overexertion, the streets of the simulation cracked where it should not crack.
"Squawk! (It's the end of the world!)", he said as he flew away.
"Squeal! (Every man for himself!)", Butchie and Dennis fled through a hole in the ground.
And a moment later...
*CRAAAAAAAAASH*
The structure collapsed.
-0-
POV. Cody
We all saw on the screen how the structure collapsed and a thick cloud of dust rose that prevented us from seeing anything.
The sound of the structure falling we could hear outside the studio.
...
..
.
We all held our breath with our hearts in our throats, myself included. I could only pray that they were both okay. A small change of trajectory, that was what it took for chaos to break out. It made me remember why I'm so scared to alter things in the timeline.
"What happened!? Where are they!? They're fine!? TELL ME SOMETHING!" yelled Izzy as she shook Noah by the neck.
"What do you want me to tell you!? I'm seeing the same thing as you!" was the response of the dizzy-eyed know-it-all.
"We should go outside and see," Trent said with a standing position.
"Yes, it's a good idea," Geoff said, also standing up.
*Open*
However, the sound of the studio door opening, and the sound of footsteps, froze everyone in place.
*Step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step*
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the tension was increasing by the second, the scene was beginning to get clearer, but there was no sign of the girls, anyone could be coming.
*Step... step... step... step*
Then the figure was present and we all looked with surprise.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, uff, I think the dust got into my mouth... hey, what is everyone doing here?"
"... I see it and I don't believe it, the first to arrive is none other than LINDSAY!" shouted Geoff.
My heart pounded again as Heather walked a moment later behind her. Both were full of dust and their hair was unkempt. But at least they were fine.
"That means the official winner of Total Drama Action! She is none other than the queen of fashion and the most striking girl of all... Congratulations Lindsay!" said Bridgette with joy, the applause and cheers were not long in coming. Neither girl could believe her eyes as cheers erupted from all sides, both staring at nothing like deer in front of the headlights.
"I... Did I win?" asked Lindsay in disbelief, everyone crowded around her and lifted her into the air, "I... I won, I really did, I won the million dollars!" she shouted with emotion and tears in her eyes.
"Well done girl," LeShawna said happily as she applauded.
"She deserves it," Gwen agreed.
"The blonde won, ha, who would have imagined it?" commented Duncan.
"I considered it," Courtney said presumptuously.
Duncan raised an eyebrow, "Is that so?... because I remember you saying that Heather was assured of victory."
"You're not going to let me forget it, are you?" the CIT complained.
"I probably want to enjoy it for as long as it lasts," the criminal mocked.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!", Izzy jumped on the crowd and lunged at Lindsay knocking her to the ground, a second later she got up with her arms around her neck and spinning around in euphoria.
"You did it, you did it, you won! Izzy is so proud of her special little girl! Hahahahahahahaha," she shouted as she spun her around.
"Hmm," all Lindsay could do was shed tears of joy with a faint smile on her face, "I... I really did, I tried so hard and... I was finally able to beat Heather," she said proudly.
Izzy let go of her and stood in front of her, "Izzy never doubted your victory", then without warning she tilted Lindsay back and kissed her on the lips. Thus provoking another stunned look from everyone as only Izzy can do.
"I'm confused eh, isn't that Cody's girlfriend?" asked Zeke.
"Which one?" asked Eva.
"Exactly, eh."
*Boom*
Oh, Tyler passed out... Wow, we should have actually seen it coming.
Izzy was in her little world as she gave Lindsay her reward, and I have to admit, it was an incredibly hot sight.
"And that's why people watch this show," Noah said.
"I thought it was because of the competition and the prize," Owen said.
"... nah, it's definitely because of this," concluded the know-it-all, I would certainly watch this show just because of the beautiful girls here.
I sighed heavily, finally the competition is over, at least for now. Only the Aftermath remains, which will surely be very different from the original.
"Ah," Izzy finally let go of Lindsay who ended up very red, but I don't know if it was because of embarrassment, excitement or shortness of breath. She looked at me immediately, a huge smile was drawn on her lips.
"Hey, he-", I didn't manage to finish because this time it was she who threw herself at me capturing my lips with hers in a deep kiss while wrapping her arms around my neck.
"Awwwwwwwww," Katie and Sadie said.
"Hey, what did I miss?" said Tyler to his feet. Then she saw Lindsay kissing me.
*Boom*
And back to the ground... Why doesn't anyone catch him?
"Hahahahahaha, oh, that's still funny," Duncan said as he wiped away a tear.
"You're terrible," Courtney said.
A moment later Lindsay broke away from me and put her head on my shoulder, "I missed you so much," she said as she deepened her embrace.
I wrapped my arms around her waist, "...So you counted how many scars I have?" I asked humorously. She got a little startled, "now I don't feel guilty about counting your moles that night", I think it's just my imagination, but Lindsay suddenly got hotter.
She looked at me with resentment and her face red, "you're evil."
"Hahahahaha", now I kissed her, but it was shorter, "congratulations Lindsay, this is your victory", I said as I separated.
"Waaaaaa!", Owen appeared out of nowhere and caught Lindsay in a hug with one of his arms while holding Noah in the other, "I'm so happy for you," Owen said through tears.
"How did I end up here!?" complained Noah.
"Aw, thank you guys," Lindsay said gratefully as she tried to wrap her arms around Owen's neck, emphasis on trying.
I left them there, there are still many people who want to congratulate her after all. And there's someone I've yet to talk to, someone who was doing his best not to draw attention to himself right now.
"So... how do you feel?" I asked the queen bee who was dusting herself in one of the armchairs without attracting anyone's attention.
She sighed to have been discovered, "... honestly, even if it was against her... It sucks to lose, I hate it," she said irritated.
"Yes, I imagined a similar answer, it sucks to lose... but you can't deny that it's comforting to see her smile like that, right?" I said as we looked at Lindsay with a beaming smile.
Heather's face turned red without her noticing, she sighed, "yes, I guess getting upset that she won, wouldn't be any different than kicking a puppy."
"Heather... Do you like Lindsay?" I asked out of the blue.
She froze, "What-!? Why do you ask me that so suddenly!?" she became upset.
"I'll take it as a yes," sometimes she's so easy to read.
"Grrrrrr," she grunted angrily.
"Hey, at least you have good taste," I said jokingly.
*Kick*
"Ouch!", she kicked me in the leg, really?, "how mature".
"You deserve more than that and you know it!" she accused me. Then she was paralyzed.
I looked behind me, Lindsay was standing there innocently with a smile, Izzy was next to her and I honestly freaked out a little how excited she looked.
"Heather... Do you remember our agreement?" asked Lindsay. Everyone else fell silent so they could listen, meddlers.
Heather tensed up, stood up, and took a few steps away without turning around, "I have no idea what you're talking about", wow, it's the most desperate denial I've ever seen... If I ever saw one.
Lindsay stood next to me and put her hand on my shoulder, "you know, that one we had after Cody left," I blinked, what is she talking about?
Izzy seemed to be about to explode. Heather scratched her head erratically with both hands, "Damn!", she turned around and looked at us angrily, "you know that I'm probably going to be a total bitch with you right?", I opened my eyes wide, Are you talking about...?
"You're more fun that way," Izzy said.
"I'm going to judge you for everything! All the time!" he warned.
"You already do it, and I know you like what you see," Izzy said again.
Heather looked increasingly irritated, "I'm not easy to deal with and you know, do you realize that I'm going to be very capricious and selfish?", is she trying to make us hate her? By now she should know that we wouldn't be having this conversation if that were the case, she can really be very stubborn.
This is all a bit confusing, but in a way it's my fault. So I guess I have to do my part, "Heather... I'd really like to hear how you really feel for once," I told her.
The queen bee seemed about to fall apart, "please," Lindsay pleaded in a puppy's voice.
Heather finally broke down (metaphorically because she's still standing), she sighed very heavily as she deflated, "You know what? I give up, I just lost a million dollars which was at my fingertips, I couldn't hit bottom deeper than this. So if you love me, go ahead, I'm fed up with this back and forth," she said defeated but confident.
This sounds like anything but a proposal... but I guess it's Heather's way of doing things, what you gonna do?
I stepped forward in front of the defeated queen bee, "Heather... Would you like to be part of this strange circle of weird people that the three of us call relationship?" If we are going to do this in front of everyone and in front of the world, then let there be no doubt about anything.
Heather didn't say anything for a moment, then to my surprise... she smiled, not a sarcastic, tense, or evil smile, just a simple honest smile.
"Why not?... I can't fall any lower now, and at least there are two sexy girls in between... the only bad thing is that now I'll have to put up with you all the time," I opened my eyes wide at her words, And since when am I the extra in all this? I couldn't help it "pff, hahahahahahaha... you... you really don't change for anything or anyone... Do you?", I laughed at this absurd, absurd and strange situation, what else am I supposed to do?
"Well, get used to it, you... damn you guys are forcing me to do this, so you can't complain about anything I say or do," she said, regaining her trademark arrogance. That is an impressive bipolarity.
"YES!" shouted Izzy as she hung on Heather's arm, "One more and this one is on fire!", is this some sort of video game collectathon for you? Izzy immediately kissed Heather on the lips surprising her. Woah... It didn't take long for her to go all out.
Heather parted from her, "Hey, what do you think that-!"
"Don't forget about me", now I didn't see that one coming, Lindsay of all the people latched on to Heather's other arm and kissed her on the lips also to the total bewilderment of the queen bee!
"...", if you don't hear anything it's because everyone in the studio is very busy trying to pick our jaws off the floor at the spectacle of seeing three of the sexiest girls on the show exchange saliva with each other.
Three girls who are my girlfriends now... Shit, I feel like I'm about pass out, how deep did I screw up this rabbit hole? Is this a bribe of fate for all the shit and giggles? Because seeing Heather and Lindsay exchange saliva as many of us imagined they did when no one saw them in the original timeline certainly makes me not care much about the consequences.
My head is an absolute chaos, everything is scrambled... and yet...
"I... can't... believe... it...", said Bridgette dumbfounded, Geoff's nose was bleeding... as well as Zeke, Noah and... Courtney!?
"I mean, yes, there was chemistry between those four all the time... but to see it really happen...," LeShawna said, her eyes wide.
"Oh heck, how I envy that geek right now," Duncan said, Courtney gave him a look, "What? Who doesn't?"
"She actually said yes... I think that was the craziest thing about all this," Noah said dumbfounded.
"It's going to be hard to feed so many girls," Owen said.
"is the only thing you think about food?" said the know-it-all rolling his eyes, "Cody hook up with all three of them, that's not being lucky anymore, there's definitely witchcraft involved here," Noah, are you aware that I hear what you say?
Lindsay separated away from Heather and rubbed her cheek with her newly recovered friend and now girlfriend. Izzy did the same on the other side, both knowing that this is going to make her angry.
Heather looked directly at me, "You must feel very pleased with yourself right now, right? You seduced three beauties to date you at the same time and for some reason that doesn't fit in my brain, we all said yes," she said with crushed cheeks and a frown.
For a moment... everything around me slowed down and blurred... now it was just me and Heather.
Only it wasn't this Heather... it was my Heather... the adult Heather, tired, spiteful, exhausted and bored with the world I knew... the one that for years I left in solitude even though I was her friend.
Then Izzy appeared out of nowhere and hooked onto her right arm surprising her, then Lindsay appeared on the other side and leaned on her neck while intertwining the fingers of her hands. And once again... The world moved again, and in front of me again was the very angry girl, but with a very, very alive and passionate fire in her eyes, a girl who was no longer alone... never again.
I could feel a huge smile on my face, "what can I say... no one can resist the charms of the Codemaister".
Heather actually blushed, What face will I be putting on right now?, "pff, that's a pathetic nickname," she said rolling her eyes.
"Yes... that's why I never use it," I said calmly.
