Newf Kids on the Rock
POV. Third person
Izzy begins to narrate, "Hi everyone! The last time on Izzy's show. Gluttony."
Owen wakes up from his nap, "Is it time for dinner yet?"
"Greed."
"I had, a dream... a very realistic and strange dream, but that doesn't mean anything... right?" said Gwen in the confessional.
"Wrath."
"Damn bitch! You lied to me! You like Cody!" shouted Heather angrily as she looked at Sierra.
"Pride."
Alejandro in the confessional shook his head disapprovingly, "Sierra, Sierra, Sierra, what a place so... inappropriate to hide your embarrassing stuff, anyone could have opened the door and exposed you when everyone was in the booth... like for example now," the Spaniard smiled, "how strange... it's almost... as if someone had planned it."
"Envy."
"I fell in love with him first! I have been since I saw it in the first episode! I must have been the first one he met! That's not fair! That's not fair! It's not fair!" shouted Sierra throwing a tantrum.
"Sloth".
Zeke was silently picking his nose until he realized the camera was focusing directly on him.
"Lust."
Izzy is peeking on as Cody and Lindsay shake the mattress.
"The previous episode was full of unexpected events, plot twists, revelations, revenge, and dramatic slow-motion falls," Chris pushes Zeke off the plane and it falls dramatically in slow motion, "What do all these seven sins references have to do with today's episode?... well, nothing really, hahahahaha, I couldn't think of anything to start the narrative and then I lost my way and forgot what I was talking about... sorry," Izzy appeared on camera sitting inside Chris' hot tub, "hello people of the world, you're probably wondering what happened to Chris Mclean, well, he's not needed anymore," she said ominously while wiggling her fingers, "Izzy has taken over the broadcast and now I can do whatever I want with the show, WUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
*Lightning sound*
Izzy was startled when lightning flashed in the window, "oh, the weather is terrible today, Hey Chefy! Learn to fly better or grow wings!" she shouted into the cockpit, "anyway, what crazy place are we landing in soon? Will Noah be able to get his fanatical ally to his feet despite mourning her impossible love? Is Alejandro secretly a reptilian? Is Owen actually two people disguised as one? Are Bridgette's panties light blue as all fans imagine? Does Tyler actually have an extra toe on his right foot? Who is the surprise guest of this episode? Why does Cody sometimes talk about the sunrise in his sleep? Mayonnaise or jam? Who the hell is Ezekiel? So many things people want to know and so little time to find out! Oh the humanity!" she said dramatically, "if you want any of these questions answered, stay with me here, in the incredible world of-!"
*Steps, steps, steps*
Izzy immersed herself in the hot tub and a tired Chris came running over while looking around, "IZZY! Where the hell are you?! Give me back control of my show!" he shouted as he ran off again.
Izzy poked his head out of the jacuzzi, with an obnoxious smile, "hehehehehe... Izzy."

POV. Third person
"Oh dear, I don't believe you," Gwen said humorously.
"Don't laugh, I don't see the humor on it," Courtney said annoyed, but also holding back the urge to laugh, "How do you guys like those movies so much? A guy who has a blender for a hand and goes around blending the face of a group of teenagers seems ridiculous to me, how the hell does that work? How do you turn on the blender? In addition, the plot makes no sense at all, who goes swimming in the pool at night when they were told that there is a murderer prowling the school? And who the hell was William and if the movie has him in the name because he never appeared or they mention him?"
"Horror movies aren't supposed to make sense, they're supposed to be scary and that's it," Gwen said.
"Well, it certainly does its job, I'm terrified of the lack of coherence in horror cinema," Courtney said with a pout.
"To be fair, 'The Blenderman, the Mysteries of William' is honestly the worst of the entire saga, why did you choose that one to begin with? It's not even the first," Gwen asked.
Courtney's eyes widened, "Is there a whole saga?", she deflated on the sofa, "Argh, I can't handle this".
"Hehehehe", Gwen laughed.
And Courtney smiled, "Don't laugh, this is serious."
Confessional.
Courtney
"As part of my little project to be more tolerant of Duncan, I've been trying to... get used to the things he likes so we have some things to do together, instead of fighting over who has the best tastes," she said scratching the back of her neck, then frowned, "but I'm definitely going to take horror movies off the list, they still seem ridiculous to me, I already had to live a horror experience in camp and I think that's more than enough horror in a lifetime for me."
End of confessional.
Both were distracted when Heather opened the vent hatch above them.
"Yes!" said the queen bee, then began to climb.
"Hey... What are you doing?" asked Gwen.
"Did Izzy convince you to use the ducts instead of walking?" asked Courtney, rolling her eyes.
Heather's head emerged from the duct, "no, I'm trying to spy on the other teams in economy class."
"Why?" asked Courtney.
"'Cause because of Chris, that obsessive, lying bitch Sierra is still in the game," Heather said angrily as she tapped the side of the duct, "and there's no way I'm going to leave Lindsay alone with that crazy woman on the same team," she put her head back in and was heard crawling down the duct.
"Shall we tell her that Lindsay is in the dining room with Izzy and Bridgette?" asked Gwen.
"Hmm... nah, let's let her figure it out on her own," Courtney said sadistically, the two laughing together.

POV. Izzy
I feel like I'm forgetting something important today, but I can't remember that. It's been a hectic few days lately.
"Ah... Izzy?"
I recently found out that my new friend Sierra was actually in love with my boyfriend, and she was trying to take him away from me and the other girls.
"Izzy?"
I wonder if that was the reason why she sought me out when she wanted information from the other participants.
"Hello?"
That would explain why she asked me so many questions about Cody... but didn't suspect it at the time, all girls like Cody in some way, it's just that he's so nice and charismatic, you can't help but love him.
"Are you listening to me?"
That's why I've never reproached Lindsay for falling in love with him, and I kind of stole him from Heather when the idea was to get them together so... Technically I'm the second one who fell in love with him, well, what matters is that sharing him has never been a problem, in fact it has been the most fun. That's why I don't have a problem with other girls falling in love with him, it's fair, since I know what it's like to be in their shoes.
"Earth calling Izzy."
But if the idea is to try to take him away from me, or any of the girls I love, then things change. It doesn't matter if Sierra is my friend, if she acts like a bitch, then I'll hit her with a newspaper like one.
"Are you angry about something?"
I blinked a couple of times leaving behind my ramblings and looked at Lindsay who I was hugging against my chest.
"No, I'm not angry, why would Lindsay think that?"
"You're holding me so tight it's hard to breathe," my adorable blonde love mass said.
"I don't know why that would justify me being angry," I replied, I really wasn't angry, "and putting that aside, why did it have to be you?! Izzy wanted to be the first! Lindsay is selfish!" I said throwing a tantrum as I rocked us back and forth, what? I'm not angry, just very jealous.
"Ah... What are you talking about?" asked Lindsay confused, oh, she looks so devilishly adorable with that confused little face that I just want to bite her everywhere... What were we talking about?
Oh yeah, "Why did Cody choose Lindsay to take the initiative in privacy? That's not fair, Izzy wanted to go first, Lindsay cheated, you seduced him right? Admit it."
Lindsay's face burst red, "Were you spying on us?!" she yelled.
"..."
Confessional.
Izzy
"In my defense, I'm their girlfriend, so I have the right to supervise if they're doing anything naughty... without me."
End of confessional.
Now she was sitting on Lindsay's lap crushing her cheeks like a fish's as she pouted, "Izzy is upset with Lindsay, so now she wants compensation."
Lindsay looked around, "uh... Right now?" she asked me with a blush, oh shit, she's so damn adorable, sorry Cody, but I'm going to steal her from you now.
I decided to let the gestures speak for me, pursed my lips and approached her slowly. Lindsay closed her eyes and also pursed her lips, what a good girl.
*Sigh*
As much as I was enjoying the moment, we both stopped when we heard a melancholy sigh.
Bridgette pushed aside her salad while looking quite dejected. Oh shit, I completely forgot she was here, oops.
"Oh, I'm sorry Bridgette, I didn't want to brag about ours in front of you now that... well... Geoff is not here," I apologized.
I admit that I can be somewhat exhibitionist, but it wouldn't be okay to be too romantic in front of someone who misses her boyfriend.
Bridgette sighed once more, "It's okay Izzy... not that it matters now."
I got off Lindsay's lap and whispered in her ear, "Hey honey, what's wrong with Bridge?"
"She thinks Geoff will break up with her when they meet for something she did," Lindsay replied in my ear.
"WHAT?! WELL, WHAT DID YOU DO?!", I said as discreetly as possible.
Bridgette grimaced, "it was kind of an accident," she said, evading the subject.
"Oh... So I don't see the problem, if it was an accident then there is nothing to worry about."
Confessional.
Izzy
"I know Geoff as if he were my own brother and I guarantee you that he would not make a big fuss about a small accident, he loves Bridgette madly, he said it all the time when we were two of the four finalists... to the point of becoming annoying... seriously, I had to put a carrot in his mouth because of how fed up I was, that boy really loves Bridgette, really, they're a couple of horny guys... I don't know how someone can be so promiscuous."
End of confessional.
"The problem is that I almost did it again... but this time... on purpose," Bridgette said.
"Oops... that can be a problem," I said, "but don't worry, it's Geoff we are talking about, surely when you meet he will run into your arms or you will run into his arms, and you'll smash your lips against each other rolling on the floor passionately and making everyone uncomfortable as usual," I tried to encourage her.
She got up from the table, "thanks Izzy, but I think I need to think things through a bit," she said as she left.
Lindsay and I watched her walk out of the dining room, "wow, she's really discouraged, isn't she?"
"Yes, it's usually fine, but sometimes she gets like that," Lindsay said.
"Hmm...", I still feel like I'm forgetting something, but what? It's not bathing, I did it yesterday, checking my goblin traps? No, stealing Noah's socks and telling him that the rats did it? No, I did it this morning, so what?!
*Crash*
Lindsay was startled when I smashed my head into the table out of nowhere, "Izzy?!"
*Spark*
My eyes widened, now everything is as clear as a summer day in Miami, I crushed Lindsay's cheeks and looked at her with a huge smile that I think maybe scared her, "I remember!"

POV. Third person
"Waaaaaa!", Sierra cried in economy class while consuming substantial amounts of ice cream, Noah, Owen, Tyler and Alejandro covered their ears so as not to hear her.
"Oh dude, I think my ears are bleeding," Noah said.
"Yeah, how come she can still cry so hard? Does she have endless tears?" asked Owen.
"I bet it rehydrates with that ice cream," Alejandro said.
Confessional.
Sierra
The fan sobbed with rivers of tears and snot falling down her face, "I know it's too early to give up... But it is not easy to get out of grief when the person who loves you rejects you, tearing out your heart, throwing it to the ground and squeezing it with his foot in front of you... Okay, maybe it didn't happen literally, but that's how it felt! Waaaaaaaaa... I know it's not Cody's fault, he's so mowed down by the brainwashing of those harpies that he can't see what's good for him, but I'm not going to abandon him to his fate with those witches, I'll save you Cody! Just... hold on! Waaaaa!"
End of confessional.
"Okay, this is all I'm willing to put up with," Noah said standing up, "I'm going to the coffee shop to get something to put in my ears."
"I'll go with you, maybe Chef baked a pie and let it cool in the window," Owen said.
"I like pie," Tyler said standing up as well.
Confessional.
Noah
"I know that as an ally I should be trying to get Sierra to calm down and refocus on helping me now that her search for love was cut short all at once. And believe me I've been trying, but she hasn't made it easy at any point, all she does is cry and say that nothing matters anymore."
End of confessional.
"Go ahead, amigos, I think I'm going to make one last attempt so that Sierra doesn't make our trip worse than it already is," Alejandro said.
Confessional.
Alejandro
"We lost Ezekiel, which wouldn't bother me as much because the guy was dumber than a carrot, but that means I only count on Owen and Noah for challenges now, and they're not necessarily the epitome of fitness, not to mention I can't stand Owen and his constant insistence on calling me Al." The Latino shuddered, "If I want to win this game, then I have to aim for the merger by getting as many followers as possible. And who better to start forming bonds than the poor and very vulnerable Sierra."
End of confessional.
Alejandro sat near Sierra, who hugged her knees and rocked while eating ice cream.
"Hey Sierra, maybe you don't believe me if I say this, but I support you," said the Spaniard.
Sierra raised her head slightly with snot and tears running down her face, "Are you serious?" she asked while sipping through her nose.
"I'm very serious, to some extent I share your thoughts, Izzy can be quite selfish, and it's possible that she stuck to Cody on a whim, we all saw how she got closer to him at camp, right?"
"Yes, she just wanted someone to play with," Sierra said.
"Yes, and let's not kid ourselves, Lindsay is very attractive, how many boys did she not seduce with her beauty so that they would do what she wanted?"
"Probably many," Sierra said.
"And not to mention Heather, we both know how cruel and manipulative she is, right?"
"Yes, she absolutely is!" said Sierra between sobs.
"I'm going to confess something to you, I don't think Cody's relationship is right either," Al said.
Sierra looked directly at him, "Are you serious?"
"Very seriously, I think Cody doesn't reject any girl because he doesn't want to hurt them, which I understand, I mean look at me. But a single person already requires a lot of attention and by not making a decision you limit the attention you give to each of them, and also prevent them from finding someone who gives them the attention they deserve, look for example at poor Tyler who is dying to give Lindsay all the attention he can."
Sierra nodded her head, inside her scrambled mind Alejandro's words made total and complete sense, "I know, right?"
"And I personally think Heather wouldn't behave so badly if she found someone who would spend more time helping her correct her behavior. It's so sad, if only Cody had one person who opened his eyes," Alejandro said.
"I want to be that person!" shouted Sierra, standing up... but then she returned to her dejected position, "but those three are not going to let me get close to him, plus I know that Lindsay is going to make the team send me off as soon as we lose, she's a manipulative fake!" she cried again.
"What if you had the chance? What would happen if Cody was left alone?" said Alejandro temptingly.
"Ah?"
"I'm just saying, if the other girls were kicked out and you stayed in the game until the merger, you might have a chance to bring him to his senses, right?"
Sierra's eyes widened, "yes... It's true! I can do it!" she said excitedly, but then narrowed her eyes and looked at Alejandro suspiciously, "wait, why are you telling me this? What do you gain by helping me?"
"You say, besides the fact that we'll all be able to go back to sleep at night?" said Alejandro raising an eyebrow.
Sierra scratched the back of her neck blushing, "ah...".
Alejandro stood up, "I'm not looking to gain anything from this, consider it a courtesy, from one rookie to another, to show you that there are no grudges for rejecting my alliance, we're not all Heather, you know?... in fact, now that I think about it, I'm almost certain I saw her go to the cargo hold just before the Paris challenge."
Sierra gasped surprised.
"I don't know what she wanted to do there, but she looked very determined," was the last thing Alejandro said before leaving, however he smiled when he saw Sierra gritting her teeth to the point of sparking.
Confessional.
Sierra
"Of course! How could I not see it before?! This had Heather's name written all over it, she must have stolen my things and then pretended to be offended to turn everyone against me, oh that manipulative and evil shrew, I won't let her get away with it!"
Cody
"Well things have been somewhat tense since I rejected Sierra, so far she has stayed away, but I have a feeling that she could do something drastic and stupid at any time... let's hope it doesn't come to that."
"AHHHH!" Heather fell from the vent and landed on Cody's lap in surprise.
"Heather? Were you spying on me... in the bathroom?"
"Pff, no... I was trying to spy on Sierra and I got lost, that's all," she said crossing her arms.
"Well, it's a good thing I wasn't doing my thing here, right?" said Cody jokingly.
Heather rolled her eyes, "please, like there's a part of you that I haven't already seen," she said.
"You have a good point... but... Did you really want the whole world to know?" said the geek with a smile while pointing at the camera.
Heather's eyes widened.
*Static*
"Give me the tape! I want the tape! How do you open this thing?!" said the queen bee as she struggled with the camera.
End of confessional.
...
POV. Cody
I opened the bathroom door and Heather came out first, "now, don't make such a big deal, it's not a big deal," I told her.
"Hmph," she just made an offended gesture as she walked past me.
We stopped in our tracks when we realized that there was another person waiting to use the confessional, a person who saw the two of us come out of the bathroom together.
Bridgette's eyes were wide open as she looked at us like a deer in front of the headlights, "ah..."
"Not a word," Heather warned the surfer, then walked away.
Bridgette looked at me, "Would you believe me if I told you that she threw herself on me?"
"No, I didn't!" Heather's scream was heard from the back of the hallway.
"Pff, hahahahaha", we both laughed about it.
"I wouldn't have believed it before, but now I definitely do," Bridgette said as she wiped away a tear, "thank you, I... I needed to laugh at anything."
I lost my smile.
Seeing her now she seems a little discouraged, I prevented her from getting out of the competition and somehow causing problems for Alejandro, but I think I may have hurt Bridgette a bit, the last time she had the opportunity to apologize to Geoff almost immediately after making a mistake, but now that she is here she must be dying imagining what awaits her once she meets the partygoer, and if I learned anything from Sierra it is that the more time you spend away from someone, the more time you have to imagine the worst scenario... I wonder if I did the right thing by making her stay.
"Uh... Were you going to use it?" I asked her as I went away.
"Oh yes, thank you," she said as she walked by.
I sighed, I'm sorry Bridge, I'll find a way to make it up to you, I turned around to go back to first class, I don't want to be in no man's land for too long with Sierra hanging around.
"Hey Cody," but I stopped. I turned around, Bridgette was looking at me from the bathroom entrance.
"Can I ask you a strange question?"
"... I guess," I replied.
"If Lindsay or Heather or Izzy kissed another guy by accident... Would that bother you?"
"... the truth is that yes, it would bother me a little... but... it would just be an accident," I replied honestly, I'm not going to pretend to be a saint here, anyone would be upset.
"...What if they tried to kiss him again... but this time on purpose?"
"Then I would be very upset and stop talking to them."
"... yes, I guess that's what anyone would do, right? It's understandable," she said as she closed the door.
*Stop*
She was shocked when I put my foot in front of the door preventing me from closing it.
"But... after a while and with a cooler head... I would probably forgive them, and give them a second chance."
"B-But why?" she asked in surprise, "it was on purpose," she said with tears in her eyes.
"No one is perfect," I shrugged, "neither they, nor me, we all make mistakes when it comes to love, believe me, it's the stage where one makes the most mistakes, I say this from experience," I told her remembering many things from the past, "and it may sound fanciful or unrealistic but I'm sure, I would eventually forgive them."
"Why?" she wanted to know.
"Because love is stupid," I said with a smile.
"Huh?"
"Love makes you always do stupid things, like forgiving someone despite being angry with him... or well, her, and I think sometimes that can be a good thing."
"..."
"And I guarantee you... that there is no one who is more stupid when he is with you than Geoff."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Wow... that sounded better in my head", okay, I didn't think very well of my words, "ah... what I was referring to was-".
I couldn't finish my sentence because warm arms wrapped around my neck, Bridgette was giving me a hug.
"Hehehe that sounded so terrible...", she said with a watery laugh, "it's definitely something Geoff would have said", she said on my neck as he clutched a handful of my shirt.
I smiled and hugged back, "yes, he probably would have said something that stupid."
She walked away, "and also... Thank you for helping me get off that pole, I'm sorry I didn't thank you sooner."
"I really just wanted to annoy Chris," I lied, "it was mostly luck."
"I'm still grateful... but... How did you know he was talking about Geoff?" she asked me intrigued.
I started to walk away, "because when Geoff did something stupid on the island, it was usually just for one person," I told her slyly.
She blushed, "oh...".
"... I hope you can solve your problems," I told her sincerely.
"Thank you, I hope so too," after that she closed the door of the confessional.
Confessional.
Bridgette
She took a deep breath, "Geoff, it's me again, I just want to say I'm sorry, but right now... There are things I need to figure out, so I'm going to focus on the game now, my team needs me more than ever and I'm not going to quit, just like you didn't quit for me, and how I didn't quit you when you behaved like a jerk. No matter how much I want to see you and figure things out, I know we'll be fine, it's not the first time we've hurt each other and it probably won't be the last, but we always get back together regardless... hehe, maybe we're both too stupid... But now I think that's okay. This will probably be the last message I left for you," she blew a kiss to the camera, "see you on the other side."
End of confessional.

POV. Third person
The plane descended to ocean level, and out of nowhere it began to bounce off it like a stone thrown into the river.
"Wow," Cody arrived in first class shaking due to the plane's movement, "it's a little shaky today."
"Is that the ocean?" asked Gwen as she looked out the window.
"Woah!" the geek fell into Courtney's lap, "sorry Courts."
But Courtney ignored him, "FYI, I get sick on log flume rides, so if you don't want me barfing, break!" she shouted into the cockpit.
"Oh fuck, at least wait for me to get off," Cody begged.
...
"Hahahahaha," Chris and Chef laughed at Courtney's complaints in the cockpit.
The plane ended up landing in the middle of the ocean.
"Attention all Total Drama passengers, in accordance with emergency landing procedures, you will now be shown the nearest exit," Chris announced.
The back door of the plane opened and Chef proceeded to push all the participants out and straight into the water.
Bridgette poked her head on the surface, "that was completely unnecessary," she complained to Chef.
The cook shrugged, walked into the booth, "AHHHH!", and a second later Heather was thrown outside sitting on a cushion.
"Where are we?" asked Owen.
"Clearly in the water," Izzy said.
Lindsay gasped, "maybe our next destination is Atlantis," she said enthusiastically.
Confessional.
Noah
"And I thought there would be no more dumb comments now that Zeke is gone," he said borelessly.
End of confessional.
Chris arrived on a fishing boat, "arrr, hey there, you gowdy eingy shores. Ever been to sea?" said the presenter.
"Is that Bulgarian?" asked Lindsay.
"No, it's clearly Mandarin," Izzy said.
Sierra frowned, "oh for Cody's sake, it's Newfoundland," the fan said, "Chris is originally from here, something they'd know if you really knew him," she said dismissively.
"I don't see why we should give a damn," Heather said annoyed, she and Sierra looked at each other like a pair of rabid dogs.
Alejandro smiled at this scenario.
"Aye. It's a funny homecoming for Buddy McLean. Canada's beautiful East Coast," Chris said.
"Birthplace of Canada's beautiful-est host," Sierra said.
Confessional.
Sierra
"Ah~, only Chris could give me back the excitement for the game," she said dreamily.
End of confessional.
"It still doesn't matter," Heather said.
"Aw, thank you Sierra, if you look in that direction you will see that it's just a hop and a skip… that-a-way," Chris said, pointing his finger in one direction, but there was no land in sight.
"Is it sunk somewhere in that direction?" Lindsay asked hopefully.
"Almost," Chris said, "First part of the challenge. Swim over to your team's boat marked by the animal on board and start paddling," inside each boat was one of the show's plagues.
"Okay, listen up, Wild Cats," Courtney said calling her team, "If we swim in a V formation, like geese, we'll be—Hey I'm still talking!" the CIT yelled at Heather who was already swimming to her boat.
The reason? Sierra was doing exactly the same thing, "yeah, yeah, you have a goose butt, now start swimming at once," demanded the queen bee.
"Let's go team! We will not be defeated again!" shouted Sierra.
Lindsay and Bridgette exchanged a glance as they saw Sierra motivated again, "oh yeah, first place there we go," Tyler said swimming to the boat, behind him a trail of bubbles following him underwater.
Confessional.
Bridgette
"Well, I know Sierra has her issues with Heather, Izzy and Lindsay, but it's a fact that if we want to survive in challenges, we need her. It won't help us at all to sabotage ourselves at this point, especially now that we finally have an advantage against the Prairie Dog team," she reasoned, "besides, who knows? Maybe she and Lindsay can become friends at some point... wow, that sounded more likely in my head," she said puzzled.
End of confessional.
Alejandro swam with Owen and Noah near him, "we must use Heather's grudge against Sierra to our advantage, at this moment we can go unnoticed while they fight," said the Spaniard.
"I like that idea," the know-it-all said at the thought of a girls' fight.
"yes, let's be very discreet," Owen said.
*Pffff*
Then he farted underwater, a bunch of fish came to the surface dead.
"Eh... I t wasn't me," said the big guy, the other two looked at him with bewilderment.
Heather was the first to get on the boat, followed by Cody who helped the others get on.
"(Welcome to my boat, kitties)," Dennis said, "(Let's get land before this death trap flips over!)", she begged desperately, not that everyone understood her.
Sierra dove on top of his boat as well, "(hey, watch where you step)," Kevin said flying to the tip of the boat.
Sierra was followed by Tyler who helped the other two up.
*Blow*
"Ouch!" the athlete complained when an oar was thrown at his head.
"Less complaining, get ready to row!" demanded the fan.
"I'm going, I'm going," Tyler said, putting his paddle in the water.
Confessional.
Tyler
"I want to clarify that I didn't do it because Sierra's dominant attitude scared me, I did it out of passion for the sport of boat racing, that's all."
End of confessional.
Alejandro got into his boat first, "(about time)," complained Butchie.
"Shall I give you a hand mi amigo?", the Spaniard helped Noah up.
Owen tried to get on the boat on his own.
*Turn over*
"AHHHHHH!"
*Splash*
But since he was so heavy, he ended up tilting the boat and sent the other three flying.
The big guy went up without knowing anything, "hey, where did you guys go?" he asked about his teammates.
The other two emerged from the water with wet and annoyed faces, Butchie on top of Noah's head, "(I nibble on the boards under him and you say it was an accident)," the rodent proposed, not like the other two could understand it.
Heather passed the oars to Cody and Courtney to paddle, "you two will row and I don't want complaints," said the imposing queen bee.
"I only do it because I'm an excellent rower," Courtney said, Cody rolled his eyes with a smile at the CIT's defiant attitude.
Confessional.
Cody
"Those two are so similar, and yet, if I said it in front of them they would surely look at each other with horror," he said amused.
End of confessional.
"Hi there, contestants. Ready to row, row, row your boats?" asked Chris, "The first two teams to get their dories to the shore will take part in the final challenge. Oh, and if you land some seafood along the way, you'll get a special reward."
"Leave the fishing to me, I'm an expert, I once caught a huge great white shark, he was all grrrr, and I was like 'oh the fish shouldn't answer the cook' hahahahaha, he almost ate my leg," Izzy said.
"Okay...," Gwen said more than a little dismayed.
Confessional
Gwen
"Not that I doubt the strange story of the lunatic... And I think that's the problem," said dismayed.
End of confessional.
"Tyler, you and Lindsay should fish, I'm not comfortable doing that to the fish," Bridgette said, "I can take over from you on the paddle."
Tyler became very nervous, "I... fishing with Lindsay...", the athlete looked at the other blonde who had fishing hooks hanging from her hair.
"Hahaha, this looks great, why aren't these a thing?"
*Prick*
"Ouch! I think I know," Lindsay said after poking her finger with a hook.
"Eh... I... yes, I will, I can do that, I'm an excellent fisherman," Tyler said very nervously.
"Thank you Tyler," the surfer said.
"On your marks, get set...", Chris honked, "Now go!", the three teams started in their boats.
"Charge!" shouted Sierra, beginning to row at full power.
"Woah," Bridgette could barely keep up, "Sierra you're going so fast!" the surfer said.
Heather was surprised to see the seagulls' boat go faster, "Let's go! What are you waiting for?! They are leaving us behind," complained the queen bee.
"In case you didn't notice, we're more than them," Courtney said, paddling as best she could.
"Getting tired right away from the start is not a good idea," Cody said.
"Come on my faithful crew! We will reach the finish line one paddle at a time," Alejandro said inspiringly.
"Maybe you should row instead of heroically posing in front of the boat," Noah said doing his best.
"I would, but then who would take care of the fishing?" said Alejandro as he pulled a fishing rod and a large fish was pulled out of the water to his boat.
"Al has a point, Noah," Owen said.
The know-it-all sighed, "I know."
Izzy pulled a rope until she lifted a fishing net, inside came an octopus, "welcome on board my octopus friend," she said as she took it by the head.
*Stick*
"MMM!", he stuck to Izzy's face with his tentacles, the lunatic pulled him with all her strength until he detached it, leaving him with many suction marks on his face and messy hair, "hey, hey, no kisses, I have a boyfriend", the redhead got angry, threw the octopus into a bucket, it was scared when Dennis peeked into the bucket.
"Who's gonna make it to the rock and who's going to the chopping block?" said Chris, "Find out after the break there, b'y."
-0-
A commercial break after...
Tyler felt a tug on his fishing rod, "hey, I think I have one," he said as he began to wind the reel.
"Yeah, come on Tyler," Lindsay encouraged him.
The athlete pulled a fairly large fish out of the water, "haha, I told you I was a great fisherman," he said cheerfully.
*Splash, bite*
They both watched wide-eyed as the baby seal jumped out of the water and swallowed the fish whole, then fell back into the water.
"You know something? There's a lot of fish in the sea, why settle for something so small?" said Tyler nervously.
"M-Mm, you're right, we should try to fish something bigger," Lindsay said just as nervously.
Behind the Seagulls came the Cats, Heather had her eyes totally focused on Sierra, whom she looked at with contempt.
Next to them very close and advancing slowly were the Prairie Dogs who already had a good number of fish.
"Great, even if we don't get there first we have plenty of fish to eat," Owen said drooling over the fish.
"Dude, they're live fish," Noah said with a grimace.
"And what? Sushi too," said the chubby man.
*Ding, ding*
"Everyone knows what that means, right?" Chris said over the ship's speaker.
"I wish not," was Heather's reply.
Musical moment.
Alejandro: "We're heading down to Newfoundland~, That rocky Eastern shore~", he sang while playing the accordion.
Owen: "I'll have the shrimp, mussels, cod, and the lobster thermidor~", he sang while stomping his feet.
Gwen: "I can't get a thing to bite so we better get there fiiiirst~," she sang while holding a fishing rod.
Izzy: "Don't worry guys, I already catch crabs~, mollusks and also fiiiiish~", she sang while dancing the waltz with a huge tuna.
Heather: "It's a sea shanty and it's darn catchy~," she sang while showing Sierra the middle finger when they began to pass them.
Which offended the fan a lot.
Sierra: "Come on Bridgette row, row, head starboaaard~!"
Bridgette: "That's what I'm trying to do, please give me a break~."
Sierra: "No!"
Bridgette:"Agh".
Cody and Courtney: "We're heading to the coast~, reaching the shoreside~."
Gwen: "Courtney, do you see~?", pointing to a large rock with a figure above.
Courtney: "Could it be~? Steer hard starboard side~," she sang looking in the same direction, Cody sighed.
Heather: "It's a sea shanty and it's darn catchy~, Ouch!", she fell backwards into the boat as they changed direction.
End of the musical moment.
Heather stood up annoyed, "Can you tell me what you're doing?! I didn't order a change of course!" she complained.
"I'm sorry Heather, but there are more important things than your complaints right now," Courtney said, her eyes still on the rock.
Confessional.
Heather
"You neglect yourself for a second and insubordination is unleashed everywhere," she said with her arms folded.
End of confessional.
"What could be more important than getting there first?" Heather asked Courtney.
"Ah... well...", said the CIT.
Izzy appeared and leaned on top of Courtney's head, "I think Courts wants to take us to Duncan who's on top of that rock," she said, pointing to the rock.
"Duncan?" asked Heather with a raised eyebrow, she looked at the top of the rock, and the truth is that it did look like Duncan was there, but Heather was nowhere near being naïve, "that's ridiculous, what would Duncan do on top of a rock in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight?"
"Well...," Courtney said, trying to find an explanation.
"Well, Duncan was always unpredictable, he never needed a reason to do something stupid, like ending up stranded on a rock in the middle of the ocean," Gwen said.
"Yes, exactly," Courtney said a little desperately.
'Ok, this is getting ridiculous,' the geek thought with a frown, although with the fog and distance the rock clearly looked like Duncan, it didn't make sense that it was him because of the above, not to mention that the figure didn't move a single muscle.
It was visually painful to see these two so desperate for the criminal, that they would abandon all logic just for the small hope that they could actually meet him again.
"Heather is right Courtney, it doesn't make sense for it to be him," Cody told the CIT, "besides, we've been looking at him all along and he hasn't moved once, doesn't that sound strange?"
"Maybe he's just resting," Courtney said with kicked puppy eyes.
"Are you listening to yourself?" scolded Heather, unaffected by Courtney's gaze. The CIT lowered her head, "let's get back on the race, we have already lost a lot of ground".
Cody patted Courtney on the back a few times.
Izzy, who was using a couple of glass bottles as binoculars, gasped in surprise.
"What is it? Did he move?" asked Gwen hurriedly.
"No, there's a person climbing the rock," Izzy said.
Cody was shocked to hear this, 'A person on the rock?', "let me see," Izzy handed him the bottles, Cody put them in his eyes and twisted them a couple of times to zoom in, 'What the hell?', thought the geek when he saw that there was indeed a person climbing the rock.
...
Bridgette looked around, "Are we first? Sierra, maybe we should slow down, it won't do any good if-", the surfer stopped when a certain Spaniard who was posing presumptuously and his team of two stood right next to her.
Alejandro looked and winked at them.
"Did you say anything Bridgette?" Sierra asked her without stopping paddling or looking at her at all.
Bridgette squeezed her paddle and frowned at Alejandro, "I said, full power to the finish," she said as she began paddling faster than before.
Her boat was starting to outperform the Latino's again.
Something that Alejandro did not like, "row, mis amigos, we are falling behind".
"Uff, we're trying," Noah replied, Owen was sweating like a pig.
"We can't afford to lose, gentlemen, we're not in the best of situations right now," Alejandro said.
"I can't believe we couldn't catch anything because of that silly baby seal," Tyler said as he looked at his broken line.
"Were seals always so spiteful?" asked Lindsay.
"I guess," the athlete said as he put a new line on his rod and tossed it into the water, "at this rate we're not going to be able to catch anything," Tyler said as he deflated.
"Cheer up Tyler," Lindsay said as she put a hand on his shoulder and smiled beamingly at him, "you said you were an amazing fisherman, remember? I know you can do it."
*Heartbeat*
Tyler blushed at how close Lindsay's face was to him, they both stared at each other, "ah... I...", said the athlete very nervously.
"Hmm?" Lindsay cocked her head.
"Lindsay...I".
The blonde gasped, "Where are Cody, Izzy and Heather? I don't see them anywhere," she said worriedly.
Tyler sighed, "It doesn't matter, I'll just keep fishing."
Bridgette looked ahead and her eyes widened, "ah... Sierra, maybe we should slow down," he said in a panic.
"Not until we've secured the win!" the fan said.
"If we don't we may not even live to see victory!" the surfer shouted in panic, "Icebergs ahoy!" she shouted pointing forward.
A large number of ice formations were standing in their way, "AHHHHHHHHHH!", both teams shouted in fear.
Confessional.
Noah
"I didn't sign up for this program to end up trapped in a terrible parody of the Titanic, and where the hell were the Cats during all this?" asked the know-it-all.
End of confessional.
...
POV. Cody
My eyes couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God! I can't believe it! It's really you! THE CONTESTANTS OF TOTAL DRAMA IN PERSON!"
It was a girl no older than 6 years old, mocha skin like Courtney's, dark hair below her shoulders mostly straight but curly at the end, brown eyes, a light blue T-shirt, blue pants and orange shoes. She was the one who was climbing the rock with the fake Duncan.
"Woah," Heather was surprised when the girl suddenly hugged her, "It's an honor to meet you all!" she said super excited as she passed by each one and gave them a hug.
"It's... good meeting a fan," I said patting her on the back when she hugged me.
"Uhhh~, you're Cody, I'm a big fan of yours, and your band, I have all the music of the Drama Brothers, you're my favorite contestant," she said excitedly.
"Oh... that's... flattering," I said in surprise as I tousled her hair.
"But I can't understand much of the lyrics, what does intimacy mean?" she asked, tilting her head.
"Oh that's-" I quickly covered Izzy's mouth.
"Something for grown-ups! I'll tell you when you grow up," I said very nervously while sweating, better not to corrupt the innocent mind of a child.
"Ah... I'm sorry to ask you this, but why were you climbing a rock in the middle of the ocean?" asked Gwen in disbelief.
"Oh, let me introduce myself, my name is Priya, I'm 6 years old, and what you saw is part of my training," the girl said.
"Training?", we all repeat.
This is very strange, this girl wasn't here last time, unless I overlooked her in my attempts to keep Sierra away from my personal space when Gwen and Courtney started climbing the rock. But it was too easy to watch, we couldn't have overlooked it if it had really been here that time, did this happen because of my intervention with the timeline?
"Yep, I said training," she replied proudly, "my parents are mega Total Drama fans and they're training me to one day be a competitor like all of you."
"And I thought my parents had high expectations," Heather stammered.
"Aren't you... A little young for something like that?" asked Courtney uncomfortably.
The truth is that the idea of a 6-year-old girl being trained specifically for a competition like this is a scary thing, I only trained for a year with a crazy and paranoid homeless person and became abysmally good. It's scary to think about what kind of monster this girl could become in 10 more years.
"Wow," Priya was shocked when Izzy wrapped her in a hug and picked her up.
"I like this girl, she reminds me of me when I was young," Izzy said happily.
"Hahahaha," Priya hugged her back.
"That's nonsense, nothing guarantees that this show is going to still be around 10 years from now, Chris is already pretty old, he'll probably kick the bucket before that," Heather said, adding a mockery against the host at the end.
...
POV. Third person
"Ah... ah... Achoo!", on the fishing boat Chris sneezed hard.
"Handkerchief?" the chef offered.
"Thank you friend, someone must be talking about me, probably a beautiful girl who can't resist Mclean's charm," he said presumptuously.
Chef rolled his eyes.
...
POV. Cody
Heather had a shudder, "how strange it is not even that cold".
"There definitely will be," Priya said excitedly, "this show is the most popular in the world, there's no way it's going to end before I can participate and take the million dollars crushing the entire competition," she said competitively.
Heather, Gwen, Izzy, and I, looked at Priya, then we turn to look at Courtney, then Priya, then Courtney, Priya, Courtney.
"Stop doing that!" until we finally managed to irritate the CIT.
"I'm sorry, but I was too good to pass up," I said with a sneer, which earned me a push from Courtney, "hey Priya, do you normally do this rock climbing thing?" I asked the girl who was squeezing her cheek against Izzy's.
"No, I usually do it on a climbing wall, mostly chased by a bear."
"Wait what?"
"Nothing!" I swear I heard something about a bear, "I was always a fan of yours," Priya said, "and when I saw you after the year-long hiatus and saw how changed you were and how good you are now, I knew I had to try harder," then she is here because of me, "my family lives around here and sometimes my father takes me fishing, So I took a boat and came here to climb this rock... but... I forgot to tie up my boat and the current took it away," she said embarrassed as she scratched the back of her neck.
"Wow," was all Heather said, "it's not that I'm not enjoying this time hanging out with a fan, but you realize we probably just lost the challenge?!" she yelled angrily.
"Damn, it's true," Gwen said, "the other teams should already be at the finish line."
"If it's any use, I know a quick way to get to shore," Priya said.
"Really?!" asked Heather super excited.
Priya nodded, "just paddle in that direction and the current will take us to shore super fast," Priya said.
Wow, I didn't even know you could navigate around here using the currents.
"Well, Courtney, you heard her, course to port," I said to my partner in the oars.
"..."
"Courtney?" I turned around, the CIT was looking at the top of the rock, the fog had cleared revealing the truth.
"He was never here," she said dejectedly.
I felt a little bad, and even worse when I heard someone else sighing behind me. If only Courtney could surpass Duncan right now. But it wasn't likely, it wasn't until Duncan made a fool of himself in All-Stars that she finally felt ready to let him go and a part of her may never have gotten over it, love is so complicated, like a fly trap, it catches you and even if you manage to break free, you'll be all sticky.
I put my hand on her arm and gave her a squeeze, "look on the bright side, now you have a lot more time to think about the huge scolding you're going to give him."
"Pff, Hehehehe, yes, you're probably right," she said with a muted but sincere smile, I guess that's the best I'm going to get out of her.
...
"Ninety-seven bottles on the wall~, ninety-eight bottles on the wall~, ninety-nine bottles are on the wall~", I never thought that I would hear that song from Izzy again, and I also didn't imagine that Priya would like it enough to sing the whole song.
"Look! I see the coast!" said Gwen.
"It's land ahoy," Courtney remarked, the Gothic rolled her eyes.
"She's so funny," Priya said.
"I know, right?" Izzy said.
Her comments only made Courtney sulk.
"Oh no, there's the other teams," Heather said.
Ahead of us the other two teams were leaving the glacier field and heading towards the coast. Their boats were beaten and somewhat damaged, I wonder what happened between them.
Confessional.
Bridgette
"That glacier field was the worst-"
Tyler
"Most terrifying-".
Noah
"Unreal and traumatic-".
Sierra
"Experience of my whole life, the things that happened there-"
Alejandro
"I wouldn't wish them on my worst."
Lindsay
"Enemy, and I'm only glad I had-."
Owen
"I wonder if there's lobster-flavored gum, hmm... lobster."
Bridgette
"I'm glad I don't have to go through-."
Noah
"Something similar for the rest of my-."
Tyler
"Life... although I have to admit that-".
Alejandro
"It was very exciting and crazy, and-."
Lindsay
"The whole world is witnessing what happened, I would hate that-"
Sierra
"Someone would have missed it, since it was-."
Owen
"How about a crab chocolate? I would definitely pay anything to try a chocolate with that flavor," he said dreamily.
End of confessional.
"We're never going to catch up with them," Courtney said.
"Oh~, if only someone could come up with a miraculous and very ridiculous way to get us to shore in the blink of an eye," Izzy said dramatically as she sat on my lap and leaned against me, looking at me suggestively.
Four other pairs of eyes also landed on me, "What?"
"Come on, do that thing where you have a crazy, weird idea to get us out of this situation," Heather said with a smug smile.
"Ohhhhh~," Priya began to jump up and down instead, "Can you do it? This is one of the reasons why you are my favorite, can you, can you, can you, can you? Please, for your number 1 fan, yes?" she begged with puppy eyes, it would be better for Sierra never to hear you utter those words, I have no doubt that she would be willing to make war on a girl half her age.
Confessional.
Sierra
"I feel a disturbance in the force, as if someone is trying to challenge my position! Oh no, don't even think about it whoever you are, I'm going to find you and finish you off, there's only one Cody No. 1 fan and that's me, you heard me right fucking bitch!" she yelled at the camera aggressively, "You can't hide from me!"
End of confessional.
I brushed Izzy off my back, "What? Do you think I have a miracle in my pocket or something?" I said, reaching into my left pocket.
*Touch*
And then I realized that if I had something that could help us, "ah..."
"Let me guess, did you find a miracle in your pocket?" asked Heather rolling her eyes.
"Something like that...", I replied, I approached the back edge of the boat, "if it worked with a bear...", I said taking the bag of sweet fish tails from my pocket.
"Agh, that thing stinks," Gwen said, covering her nose with her fingers.
"Yes, it's been in my pocket since the Yukon," I confessed.
"And what's your plan, throw that at the other teams and have them pass out from the smell?" asked Heather sarcastically.
"Oh yes!" Priya and Izzy said excitedly.
"Heather, Heather, you're a girl of very little faith," I said, she rolled her eyes. Throw all the fishtails in the water, I just hope the smell makes them more appealing.
...
POV. Noah
"What's going on? Why are we slowing down," complained Alejandro, "the finish line is right in front of us and the seagulls are still in front of us by a nose."
"We are... exhausted," I replied wearily. I couldn't even feel my arms anymore, I don't think I'd ever tried so hard rowing in a boat, and I'd only paddled twice in my life, "getting out of the iceberg field wasn't easy or fun in case you don't remember."
"I'm pretty sure I've lost 30% of my weight in sweat," Owen said as he gasped.
"How the hell do Bridgette and Sierra not get tired of rowing?" I said looking at the two girls on the other team who didn't slow down.
"Both must have a motive that moves them forward," Alejandro said while rubbing his chin.
Confessional.
Sierra
"I'll be the one to keep Cody!"
Bridgette
"I don't plan to lose to Alejandro."
Lindsay
"Don't you think purple looks good on me?" she asked as she put on lipstick and looked at herself in the mirror.
End of confessional.
*Growl*
"Oh-oh, it's not a good sign," Owen said after his stomach rumbled.
Alejandro looked at our bucket of fish, "Owen, were you eating the fish I caught with so much effort?"
"Eh... no," Owen said nervously.
*Growl*
"I think that means yes," I said boredly.
Alejandro hit his forehead in frustration.
*Pffff*
"Agh, dude, you really think this is the time to do this?" I complained when Owen started leaking.
"I'm sorry, those fish were somewhat—*burp* raw, I feel like there's a big explosion coming."
Alejandro rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "big explosion, huh?"
"I think we're both thinking the same thing," I said, knowing where his thought process was going.
...
POV. Cody
"And if the bear resists, you pinch its nipple," Izzy told Priya.
"Wow, that's amazing advice, you're going to be a really good mom one day," the girl said innocently.
Heather's expression of bewilderment was very funny, I guess something like that can touch a queen bee's nerve, "awwww, thank you, I really hope so," Izzy said looking at me out of the corner of her eye.
"It's still... a little early for that," Heather said, "Cody! How much longer do we have to wait?!", she shouted to change the subject.
"Just a little more," I hope, I kept looking at the water but everything was calm. Come on, just appear, it's been a while, but it should still be around here, the fish tails should be able to attract it.
*Bubble*
My hopes were kindled like a fire when the water began to bubble and a colossal shadow appeared beside our boat.
"Ah... guys, what's that?" said Gwen in fear.
*Emerge*
"Ahhhhhh!", the girls gathered at the front of the boat when a huge orca surfaced right behind us, spewing water into the sky through its blowhole, I for one was relieved that it was still around.
"S-that-is a killer whale?" asked Heather in fear.
"Yes," in which I replied to Heather.
The orca was chewing on something, "(hey, this is very good)," she said while looking at me with one of her tiny eyes.
"Hi Willy," I said while stroking his nose, "I need a favor, if you can get us to shore as quickly as possible, this huge tuna will be all yours," I said as I picked up the huge fish that Izzy had caught.
"Are you negotiating with an orca?" asked Courtney incredulously.
"Okay, this already broke the ridiculous meter," Gwen said.
"Great," Priya said.
"Hey! I was going to use that tuna to-! Something," Izzy said.
"Sorry Izzy, we need it to win the race," I apologized.
Izzy sighed resignedly, "well, I can't say no to that little face", I don't know if she was talking about me or the killer whale.
I looked at the huge whale, "What do you say? Deal?"
"(All that fish to myself? Ha! You have a deal, bro)", the orca dived into the water.
I looked at the girls on my team, "maybe you want to find something to hold on to."
"Seriously, this is ridiculous," Gwen said as she clung to the seat.
"If it works, don't question it," Heather said, doing the same as her.
Izzy put Priya on her shoulders, "Raise your arms very high, girl! An explosion is coming! WOO HOO~! Hahahahahahahahahaha".
"Explosion! Woo hoo~!" Priya replied with her arms raised.
"Woah!", the killer whale began to push our boat at full speed towards the coast simulating a motorboat.
"We're going to make it!" said Heather excitedly.
"If we survive!" said Courtney.
...
POV. Third person
"We're going to make it, we're the first," Tyler said excitedly.
"Yes! We're going to win," Lindsay said giving him a big hug, which made him incredibly red.
"Hahaha, in your smug face Heather!" shouted Sierra.
...
Behind them the Prairie Dogs prepared their trump card, "Ready Owen? Let it out now," Alejandro said.
Owen was sitting on the edge of the boat with his pants down, "here it goes, grrrrr," he pushed as much as he could.
"Take cover, everyone," Noah said as he and Butchie shrank inside the boat.
*BOOM, PFFFFFFFFFFFF*
"AHHHHHHHHHH!".
...
"AHHHHHHHHHH!".
The seagulls watched in horror as the prairie dogs passed by them propelled by their Owen-shaped jet engine.
"See you at the finish line!" mocked Noah.
"No!" said Bridgette.
"No!", Lindsay said in panic, pointing to the cloud of gas, which fell on top of them.
"OMG!"
"My eyes!"
"Gross!"
"(It reeks of desperation)."
"We made it, the victory is ours," Alejandro said as he looked out over the coast.
"AHHHHHHHHH!".
"What's that noise?" Noah wondered.
The three of them looked back, only to be surprised to see the Wild Cats team approaching at full speed.
For a millisecond both boats were next to each other, and Heather did not miss the opportunity to stick her tongue out at Alejandro when their faces were facing each other.
Then the instant passed and the Cats overtook them in an explosion.
"(This is as far as I have come brothers, I can't go any further)," Orca said.
"Thank you," Cody said as he tossed the huge fish into the water and was taken by the killer whale.
In a last act of gratitude, the orca raised its huge tail and hit the water, sending the boat straight to the coast.
*BOOM*
Perhaps a little too strong, as the boat crashed on the shore and everyone was scattered on the sand.
"Cough, next time, call a smaller animal, Aquaman," Courtney complained.
"I don't know what you're complaining about, it brought us to shore," Cody said from his spot lying on the sand and gazing at the sky.
Priya got up and shook her head to wash off the sand, "that... was...".
Confessional.
Priya
"SO INCREDIBLE! is this what awaits me when I am a competitor? I can't wait... wow, this is my first confessional, I'm so excited, my parents are not going to believe the day I had today," said the girl jumping on the toilet with emotion.
End of confessional.
Chris came down from the sky with his jet pack on the coast with the Wild Cats.
"Unbelievable," the girl said.
"And in an almost miraculous way the Wild Cats come back and win the first part of the challenge," the host announced.
"Woo Hoo! We beat the jerk of Alejandro and stupid girl Sierra," Heather celebrated excitedly.
Cody got up and started to remove the sand, when he was suddenly grabbed by the shirt, "Come here, you irritating nerd!", and then Heather caught his lips in a passionate tongue kiss, which almost left the geek in shock.
"Ewww, teenage love... how disgusting," Priya said with a grimace.
Confessional.
Heather
"So what if I kissed him? Thanks to him we won the race and kicked Sierra's ass, if you want to have a loyal and committed boy you have to give him something to look forward to," she didn't realize how red her face was as she spoke.
End of confessional.
Chris looked at the girl, then at Courtney, then at Cody caught in Heather's embrace, then back at Courtney.
"When the hell did you have time to-?"
*Kick*
"Ouch!" the host began jumping on one leg when Courtney kicked him in the knee.
"Finish that sentence, come on, I dare you," the CIT threatened him.
"No, no, it's okay, I like to stand on both my legs," Chris said waving his arms.
Heather finally let go of Cody who had a dumbfounded look on his face, "wow, just wow... so that's how you are when you get affectionate, huh?" he said to his girlfriend with a smile.
"Don't get used to it," the queen bee said, looking away from him.
"Hmm...", only to run into a stew from Izzy, "I was the one who caught that tuna, you know?" she said to the queen bee.
Heather sighed, "well come- MMM!", she couldn't even finish when Izzy threw herself on her and smashed her lips against hers, kissing her passionately and sticking her tongue in her with great enthusiasm.
Cody's eyes widened, "now that's a reward," he said with a silly smile.
"Hey, I can't see anything, what's going on?" asked Priya, Courtney was covering her eyes with a red face.
"I'll... I'll tell you when you're older," she told her.
Alejandro's boat pulled up to shore, "nice," Noah said as he and Owen smiled at the sight of Izzy trying to eat Heather. Alejandro, for his part, only frowned.
Confessional.
Gwen
"I must insist that this should not be a show suitable for all audiences, seriously."
End of confessional.
While Heather got rid of Izzy, who insisted on continuing to kiss her, the seagulls' team also arrived on the coast.
"Prairie Dogs, you managed to come in second, so you'll compete against Wild Cats in the second round for the win," Chris said.
Owen and Noah high-fived as Alejandro smiled.
"Seagulls, you had the lead for most of the race and still came last, which means you are out," said the host, the whole team lowered their heads, "now you'll have to clean the fish and the lobsters the other teams brought in...", Chef handed him a bucket, "shuck all these giant clams", he said while throwing one to Bridgette.
*Splash*
Bridgette caught the clam but its fluids splashed all over her face, "great," she said disgustedly.
Lindsay shuddered, "not this again," she said, recalling her experience with the season two martial arts challenge.
"Ahem, Chris, I thought you mentioned that the team that brought in the most seafood would get a reward," Heather said in a disgustingly sweet way.
"Very presumptuous of you to assume that you have more fish than we do, Heather," Alejandro told her.
Even though Owen ate some, they still had a good amount left.
"Ahem," Izzy kicked the side of his boat and it tilted on its side spilling several fish and a Dennis with a bloated stomach.
"(Uff, now I can die in peace)."
"Did you say?" the redhead challenged him.
"Calm down everyone, as both teams brought a good amount of fish, you will be able to enjoy the reward together... watching the seagull team clean up a ton of fish," Chris said.
Confessional.
Tyler
"I find it very ironic that we couldn't catch a single fish and yet we will have to spend the rest of the day cleaning a lot of fish," he said frustrated.
End of confessional.
"How is that a reward?" complained Heather.
"You'll be able to see Sierra clean a bunch of clams, isn't that reward enough?" said Chris as he threw a clam at the fan and she also ended up with her face covered in clam slime.
Heather's face went from irritated to pleased, "okay, I think I accept it, this time," Sierra growled at the queen bee and squeezed the clam in her hand until she crushed it to everyone's surprise.
"Well, the competitors who are still in competition follow me in," Chris said.
While everyone else was coming in Izzy approached Lindsay and whispered something in her ear, the blonde smiled at her, "sure, don't worry, leave it all to me," she said nonchalantly.
Izzy gave her a hug and a big kiss on the lips before leaving. Lindsay approached Bridgette and whispered in her ear, the surfer gasped in surprise, "count me in," she said excitedly.
Sierra, who had been watching everything, raised an eyebrow without understanding what was happening.
Confessional.
Sierra
"What are those three up to?"
End of confessional.

"Welcome to my traditional Newfoundland kitchen party," Chris said, both teams were seated on either side of a long table in the center of the room.
Priya was sitting on a barrel in the corner watching it all.
"In this part of the competition, it's Team Prairie Dogs versus Team Wild Cats in a screeching-in relay. Screeching in is a ceremony performed by the locals to welcome the newcomers," said Chris.
"Yep, and it's not for everyone," Priya said, "my dad says this separates boys from men."
Noah and Owen swallowed.
"But I'm still a boy," the big guy said.
"Not for much," Chris said, "First, you have to swig a whole lot of apple cider," he said as he put several bottles on the table.
"That doesn't sound too bad," Owen said.
"Actually... it's apple cider vinegar," Priya said with a grimace.
"Yes, that's actually what I was supposed to say," Chris said, "It'll put hair on your chest."
"I preferred not to, thanks," Courtney complained.
"Courtney, Izzy and Owen each must finish a whole bottle, and since the Dogs are fewer, Owen's bottle will be worth two," Chris said.
"Pff, no problem," Owen said, "How bad can it be?"
"A lot," Priya said, "and it gets worse when it comes out," she said with a shudder.
"I've been asking myself this for a while, who is that girl?" asked Alejandro.
"It's Priya," Izzy said.
"Hello," the girl greeted, Alejandro rolled his eyes, that didn't mean anything.
"As soon as you do, it's up to Alejandro, Heather and Cody, who will then have to decipher a local Newfoundland saying spoken by my cousin, Jerd McLean," a very short man, and half the size of most competitors, with a red-haired beard and mustache, and the same face as Chris, who also wore a yellow rain raincoat and a hat of the same color, he entered through the bottom of a double door and stood between Alejandro and Noah.
"How's the cotton there, b'y?"
"I see that height is not something that runs in your family," Heather said.
"Hahahahaha," Priya laughed about it along with Izzy.
"Then," Chris said with a frown, "they tag to Noah and Gwen," the host regained his smile, "who will have to kiss a cod," the know-it-all and the goth opened their eyes wide, "like you mean it," he said sadistically.
"Ewww", said Priya.
"Ah... I'd like to change my position," Gwen said.
"I want to make the same request," Noah said.
Confessional.
Noah
"No prize is worth this kind of humiliation, no girl would ever approach me again, except... Izzy, and that would be very sad."
End of confessional.
"Let me process your requests... Applications denied, now... let the screeching in begin," Chris said.
Owen, Courtney and Izzy took their bottles and put them in their mouths, and immediately Courtney's eyes widened and began to cry, but the CIT refused to be the one to lower their jug, Owen and Izzy for their part did not seem to have any problem with the taste.
"Come on girls, you have the strongest stomachs on the whole team," Cody encouraged them.
Izzy was the first to finish her jug, "Ahhhh...", and her face locked into a grimace as the flavor finally reached her brain.
She was followed by Courtney, "done," she said as she wiped away tears.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad at all," said Owen who looked pretty good to the irritation of the other two, "You got anything back there in a balsamic? Maybe a few chips on the side?"
"All three finished their vinegar at the same time, which means both teams move on to the interpretation part," the host said.
"Better to give up now Heather, there is no shame in not knowing the jargon," Alejandro provoked her.
"Why don't you take your jargon and put it right up your-?! the queen bee yelled at him.
"Heather! There are children present," Cody said, pointing to Priya, who looked confused.
"Wardrobe... put it deep inside your wardrobe," the queen bee concluded. Alejandro just smiled amused. Cody intertwined his fingers with Heather's under the table, which calmed her irritation somewhat.
"Come on Cody, come on Heather, you guys can do it," Priya encouraged them.
"Take it away, Jerd," Chris told his cousin.
"Ring them in at the pumphouse," Jerd said.
Both Heather and Alejandro exchanged a bulging-eyed look with no idea what Chris's cousin had said.
"Okay...," Noah said, "Are those even words?"
"What's going on Al-ejandro? Aren't you going to answer?" Heather challenged.
"No, no, that's not what a gentleman would do, ladies first," he returned the challenge.
Heather thought deeply, opened her mouth ready to speak.
"Could it be that Jerd was asking to use the bathroom?"
And her eyes went to Cody who answered first.
"Correctamundo, Jerd asked to use the washroom like a true maritimer," Chris said, "the Wild Cats move on to the kissing part."
"YES!" encouraged Priya.
"And remember Gwen, like you mean it."
"Great," Gwen said sarcastically.
Confessional.
Gwen
"Is it wrong that I wished they wouldn't answer right?"
End of confessional.
"How did you know?" Heather asked Cody in disbelief.
He smiled at him, "I didn't know" he lied, "but normally the first thing you learn when you go to a foreign country is to ask where the bathroom is", in fact, Cody spent a good deal of time learning Newfoundland sayings during the pause period, but he already sensed that like many things, this would probably stay the same.
"That makes a lot of sense to me," Owen said.
"Aw, you little know-it-all nerd," Heather said as she hugged Cody to her chest, rewarding her boyfriend was proving more rewarding than expected.
What she didn't expect was the annoyed face that Alejandro made, which lit something inside Heather, she licked her lips sadistically.
She grabbed Cody by the cheeks and started smooching with him right there to everyone's surprise, including him.
"Ewww, I think I'm going to throw up," Priya said.
Confessional.
Courtney
"Is it my idea or does Heather act like she just took aphrodisiac?" she asked the camera red-faced.
End of confessional.
Sierra, who had been looking out the window, collapsed screaming "Whyyyyyyyy?!", with tears in her eyes as she left scratch marks on the glass.
Izzy looked happily leaning on her hands, "ah~, it was worth drinking that vinegar."
Out of the corner of her eye Heather gave Alejandro a condescending look. The Spaniard crossed his arms and looked away with apparent indifference, which only made Heather want to go further.
"Alright lovebirds, that's enough, Gwen is supposed to kiss the fish, not you, Heather," which would have happened if Chris hadn't stopped her with a bored look.
"Hmph," was all her answer.
At that moment the chef arrived carrying a bucket full of cod and stood in front of Gwen and Noah, "strange goth girl, here is your date hehehehehe," said the cook while handing her a live cod.
She looked at him and the fish stared back at her, "ah", her face turned green from the smell.
"Oh no, don't even think about it," Heather threatened, "you can kiss that fish or you can kiss the sole of my shoe when I kick you off the plane."
"But you don't wear shoes," the redhead said.
"Not now, Izzy!" the queen bee shouted.
Gwen had to swallow the urge to vomit, to make the image worse the flies had begun to flutter over the fish.
"(Excuse me, but I have a wife)," said the cod
"This is very strange," Cody said to himself.
"While Gwen is trying to get to second base, let's go with another saying," said Chris, "Jerd."
"The worst thing you can have in your head is a nartoot," Jerd said.
Noah and Alejandro exchanged a look.
"Alejandro? Any guesses?" asked Chris
The Spaniard rubbed his chin, "The worst thing you can have in your head is... no teeth?"
Jerd nodded, "Bingo, now Noah can kiss cod too," Chris said.
"Hooray for me," said the know-it-all.
*Splash*
He grimaced as Chef dropped a cod in front of him.
"Perfect, they've already caught up with us, what are you waiting for Gwen?" shouted Heather.
Gwen had pursed lips and closed eyes as she approached the fish, gave it a simple kiss and then pulled away sticking her tongue out in disgust, "yes, I did it," she said.
"You call that a kiss?" said Chris, "you'll have to do better if you want to win."
"Come on Noah, imagine she's the popular girl in high school," Owen said.
"Oh yes, because the popular girl at my school had fish lips and flies fluttering all over her face," the know-it-all said.
"Really? Then it should be easy," Owen said.
Noah sighed, "(you're not exactly my friend type either)," the cod said.
"Imagine it's Cody or Heather, it worked with the vinegar," Izzy suggested to Gwen.
Cody blushed at Izzy's thought, "do it, and I'll bury you in the same hole as Sierra," Heather warned the goth.
Gwen swallowed, "you're not helping me," she complained.
Noah closed his eyes and tried to get close to the fish, but the smell was too much, "oh my gosh, I'm going to throw up," he said with a green face.
"Just imagine it's someone you've always wanted to kiss," Courtney told the goth, "A first love, your favorite singer, a vampire, whatever," the CIT said.
That dream and what she couldn't do at that moment came back to Gwen's mind. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, the image of a certain person came to her head.
Then she pounced on the fish.
The next thing that everyone saw could only be described as a scene straight out of a horror movie, created by the most profane of minds in the world of cinema, and allowed only in the cinemas of the most corrupt and degenerate countries.
"Oh God! It's too much tongue, it's too much tongue!" squealed Courtney covering her eyes.
"I don't think I'll ever be able to eat fish again," Heather said with a traumatized look.
"This is going to haunt me for the next few nights," Alejandro said about to vomit.
The others had their eyes locked on the shameless crime against nature.
Priya had so many questions right now, and so afraid of one day knowing the answers, "I think I just lost my innocence," the girl said.
"Uh, Bluag!" was too much for Noah who ended up vomiting on the floor.
"And... uh... we have a winner, Gwen," Chris said, resisting the urge to throw up.
"...", but the Gothic was disturbingly caught up in the moment.
"Ok! Enough! Let the poor fish go!" Chris yelled at her while covering her eyes.
Gwen finally parted ways with the cod and looked around not understanding what was going on or because everyone was looking at her in bewilderment, "What, how, when, where?"
Chef took the fish from her hands, "you're sick, girl," the cook told her.
"(Call me)," said the fish with hearts in his eyes.
Confessional.
Gwen
"But what happened?"
End of confessional.
-0-
The three teams were gathered inside the hut.
"Thanks to Gwen, the Wild Cats won the second challenge, making them the winners of this week's challenge... again," Chris said.
"YES!", celebrated the whole team.
Heather stood up and pointed her finger at Sierra, "Pack your things, or you know what, better not, just jump off the plane and do us all a favor."
Sierra looked at her with resentment but also with resignation.
"I love your enthusiasm Heather, but I'm afraid Sierra isn't going anywhere, because in celebration of my homeland and home, this is a reward challenge," Chris said.
"YES!" shouted Sierra.
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me!" burst out Heather, "You just made that up! Admit it," she accused him.
The host shrugged, "Who knows?"
"Grrrrrr".
'I'm sorry Heather, but unless the timeline collapsed, this was always meant to be a reward challenge,' Cody thought as he watched Heather go berserk.
"Today was the best day of my life," Priya said, "even though I'm probably going to need therapy... But it was completely worth it!" she said excitedly.
Lindsay first became aware of the girl's presence, she and Bridgette looked at Priya, then Courtney, then Priya, then Courtney, Priya, Courtney.
"Don't you dare," the CIT warned them.
"When did you have a daughter Courtney?" Lindsay asked innocently.
"Pffff," Bridgette held back the urge to laugh out loud.
"Agh," the CIT collapsed banging her face against the table.
"Wild Cats, like today's winners will be able to enjoy a delicious-."
"Ahem," Izzy caught everyone's attention, "I'm sorry Chris, but I'm afraid there will be a small change of plans."
The host blinked twice, "Ah?"
"Mom has something else in mind for tonight," the lunatic said.
Lindsay and Bridgette exchanged a knowing laugh.
"What's this all about?" asked Heather with a frown.
"It's about-," Izzy said as she took Cody's hand and dragged him outside to the geek's surprise, "A party!" he finished.
"Woah," Cody said looking around, there were lights hanging over them and the tables had several seafood dishes, Chef was out there watching the food.
Izzy opened her arms and gave Cody the strongest hug he's ever attempted, "Happy one-year anniversary honey! Hahahahahahaha," she laughed as she circled around with Cody in her arms, then proceeded to fill his face with kisses, "muack~, muack~, muack~, muack~, muack~".
"Seafood!" shouted Owen as the others came out to see the place, the fat man ran to the sandwich table but the chef hit him in the hand with a spatula, "Use a plate, barrel of butter!", a scolded Owen proceeded to do just that.
"What?!" said Cody dumbfounded, "When... How?" he asked, trying to assimilate everything.
"I had a little help," the redhead said.
Another pair of arms wrapped around him from behind and a pair of soft melons crashed against his back, "Bridgette and I took care of decorating the place," said a cheerful Lindsay as she hugged them both.
"It looks amazing," Cody told his second girlfriend with a smile.
"Yes, Izzy appreciates it," he said as he also took Lindsay and squeezed the two together.
"Hehehehe, enjoy it, today is your special day," Lindsay said as she went to pick up Heather.
Cody rubbed the back of his neck, "I'm sorry, I think with all the hustle and bustle of competition and celebrity life I completely forgot to take into account dates like these...", he said a little regretfully, he had never had a girlfriend before, so he wasn't used to couples celebrations... he should probably take it more into account considering that he is dating three girls, "I didn't get you anything."
Izzy wrapped her arms around his neck and drew him into a deep kiss.
"It's okay, Izzy has everything she wants," she told him happily.
Cody also smiled, and now it was he who kissed her by surprise, which greatly excited the redhead.
*Blow*
"Aum! What the hell? A clam?" said Cody, confused to see that he was hit in the head with a clam.
"Psss, hey."
Cody noticed Priya watching him hiding behind some boats.
"Open it," the girl said.
Cody raised an eyebrow, opened the clam and inside it was a nice pearl, "wow...".
This caught Izzy's attention immediately, "What's that? What is it? What do you have there?" I ask with bright eyes, as if it were a bird that has found a treasure.
"Uh... Do you want it?" asked Cody.
Izzy gasped, "Can I?"
Cody smiled, "happy anniversary."
"YES!", Izzy snatched the clam immediately, the pearl fell to the ground while Izzy played with the clam, opening and closing it several times, "look how it opens and closes, opens and closes is so fun hahahahahaha, I can put a lot of things in here".
"Ah... "Izzy," Cody said as he looked at the pearl in the sand, "it's supposed to-," she interrupted him with a big hug.
"Thank you so much for the gift."
In the end Cody smiled resignedly and returned the hug, "I'm sorry I didn't keep track of our first anniversary," he apologized.
"Aw, Cody, my sweet and innocent mountaineer... the anniversary of our relationship was weeks ago, we both forgot it hahahaha," Izzy said humorously.
Cody's eyes widened, "What, then what-?!."
Izzy brought her lips to his ear and whispered seductively, "today is the anniversary of our first time, genius~", then licked his ear.
"Oh...", of course it was that, only Izzy would consider something like that worthy of celebration.
"I'm going to go show this off to Noah," Izzy said with the clam in her hand, running off to find her forced best friend.
"Hehehehehehe, I'm sorry for you Noah," Cody said as he bent down to take the pearl, better save it for another time, "... so a year, huh?" Cody thought, in his mind they saw all the things he has lived since he returned to the past, and even before that, "... It seems like it all happened forever ago," he said as he looked at his reflection in the pearl, he had never been as aware of reality as he was at this very moment, most of the time he felt as if he was trapped in a very long and deep sleep.
Images of Jamaica flashed through his mind, his gaze drifting to Izzy who was showing off her treasure to a dull Noah.
"What am I supposed to do?" the geek asked with a sigh.
"Hey," he looked down, Priya was next to him, "I'm sorry the pearl thing didn't work."
Cody leaned over and tousled her hair, "okay, she's more than satisfied, and that's what matters, thank you."
"It's the least I could do, today has been the best day of my life, I sailed on a boat powered by a killer whale, I crashed on the coast, I got to meet my heroes, and I saw them compete live, thank you very much," Priya said as she gave Cody a hug.
'I wonder if that's how it feels to have a sister,' Cody thought as he hugged her back. He suddenly had an idea, "hey, if you're really going to be a competitor one day, maybe you should keep this for good luck," he said as he offered her the pearl.
Priya gasped, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, it's a gift, from one competitor to another," Cody told her humorously.
Priya's eyes filled with tears, "I swear I'm going to take good care of it for the rest of my life."
"And let me give you a couple of tips, always remember this," Priya looked at him expectantly, "the competition... it is not the most important thing."
"Huh? What does that mean?"
"Just remember it, I promise it will make sense when the time comes."
"Okay, I will," she said.
"And most importantly, no matter how ugly things get, always, always... trust yourself."
"I promise I will, I won't let you down," Priya said determinedly.
"Nice, because I really hope to see the day you become champion," Cody told her.
Priya held out her pinky, "it's a promise."
Cody intertwined his pinkie, "it's a promise."
"Hey Priya, there's cake on the snack table," said Izzy who appeared out of nowhere and leaned against Cody.
"CAKE! I want to!" she said as she ran away.
Izzy looked at Cody mischievously, "let's go," she said while pulling his hand.
"Uh... Where?"
Izzy turned around and lifted part of her top exposing a bit of her breasts, "behind the rocks~", she said in a singing voice, Cody swallowed with a red face.
...
At the same time...
Sierra stabbed the fish on his plate as he watched Izzy take Cody out of the party and onto the rocks.
"Waaaaaa!", she began to cry out of nowhere disturbing Bridgette a little who was sitting near her and had no idea about anything.
...
At the same time...
Heather was watching the exact same scene with a frown, "Can't they be more obvious?" she complained.
Lindsay who was eating next to her looked at her cocking her head like a puppy, "Are you jealous Heather?"
"Of course not!" she said defensively, to which Lindsay only laughed.
The blonde leaned her head against her lover's neck, "Izzy is right, you are so adorable when you are not honest."
Heather turned red but remained silent, just like Cody the queen bee couldn't believe that she had already spent a year with these people.
She was genuinely surprised, she hoped that they would get fed up with her in the first months of their relationship, but the opposite happened, and the only thing they do is stick to her more and more as time goes by.
She looked at Lindsay's blonde hair on her shoulder, and her indiscreet cleavage highlighted by her position, Heather found the blonde extremely beautiful and hot, she was a little envious of her at camp, or perhaps Lindsay always attracted her and she hadn't noticed. Seeing how she behaves around her, it is almost unreal to imagine that they were fighting for a long time.
Now it is even funny to imagine that if she had been more aware of her sexuality, she would probably have snatched her from the foolish athlete herself.
And to think that they could only make amends and go even further than that, because they both fell in love with the same boy, is even cruelly hilarious how ironic and twisted their circumstances are.
"But it's not like I can complain," Heather said.
Lindsay straightened up, "Did you say something- MMM?!", she couldn't finish because Heather grabbed her cheek and started kissing her softly.
The queen bee separated for a moment leaving a thread of saliva between them, "I said that if they can have fun, then we too", then she claimed the lips of the blonde again who closed her eyes letting herself go.
Owen and Noah along with the chef looked at the scene with silly faces, "and that's why I support Cody's relationship," said the know-it-all.
"What's going on? Let me see too," Priya said, Owen covered her eyes.
Sitting alone, Tyler sighed dejectedly at Heather and Lindsay's impromptu show. A hand rested on his shoulder.
"Amigo, don't do this to yourself, you have to overcome it, there are many fish in the sea," Alejandro told him comfortingly.
"Fish can't replace Lindsay," Tyler said.
The Spaniard rolled his eyes, "I mean there are hundreds of other women out there, and I'm sure a lot of them would love to date you, you're a star of both TV and sports."
Tyler sighed, "none of those girls will ever be the same as Lindsay."
"And don't you think that's a good thing?" the athlete looked at the Spaniard, "you can martyr yourself with the image of Lindsay in the arms of three other people for the rest of your life, or you take her out of your life for good and maybe, you can finally move on."
Tyler was thoughtful.
He didn't notice Alejandro's sinister smile. The Spaniard stood up, patted Tyler on the shoulder and left him alone with his thoughts, thoughts left by him to grow more and more in the athlete's head.
...
At the same time...
"Here you go," Courtney said to Gwen as she passed her a glass.
"Thank you, I can't get the cod taste out of my mouth," said the goth.
The CIT shuddered when remembering the profane act of the Gothic, "look on the bright side, we won the challenge thanks to you," Courtney tried to encourage her.
"Yes... a reward challenge where it didn't matter if we lost or not," Gwen said.
"Come on, I'm trying to cheer you on," Courtney said running out of arguments, "it's not like any of us knew the challenge was going to be a reward."
"Yes... you're right, it was impossible to know," Gwen said as she drank from her glass.
"So... Who were you thinking when you kissed the cod?" asked Courtney with morbid curiosity.
*Spit*
Gwen spat out her drink startled by the sudden question, Courtney raised an eyebrow.
"Cough, cough, that's a secret," she said, her face red and sweat dripping from her pale face.
"Come on, we're both girls, there's nothing to be ashamed of, I bet you were thinking of a vampire," she said jokingly.
"Hehe, yeah, you guessed it, it was exactly that," Gwen said nervously.
"Ha, I'm not surprised you're so embarrassed then."
"Yes... it is very shameful... Oh look at that, I've run out of drink, I'm going to go get more," Gwen said as she stood up and ran away quickly.
Courtney crossed her arms as she watched her leave, "well, it wasn't something to be so embarrassed about", she looked away and stumbled upon the scene of Heather kissing Lindsay, her face turned strangely red, "oh are you serious?" she complained, she tried to look away, but all she got was to see Izzy drag Cody out of the party and onto the rocks, "Oh, that irresponsible couple," she said, standing up and walking in their direction.
Suddenly the memories of the other night came to his mind and she stopped short with her face boiling.
However, Gwen's show with the cod also came back to her mind again and she shuddered, she needed something to get that out of her head.
'Someone has to make sure that those two are not too irresponsible', with that thought the CIT resumed her march with her body starting to heat up and a slight shudder in her back. No one noticed her departure.
...
"I guess this isn't too bad," said Chris, he was with Jerd and Chef at the snack table. The host tried to take one.
*Blow*
"Ouch!" but Chef hit him with the spatula,
"Use a plate pretty boy."
"Pretty boy ha," Jerd said.
"Hahahahahahahaha," they both laughed at the host.
"Whatever," Chris said, "which tropical destination will we visit next? Will Cody survive what Izzy has in store for him? Is Heather more perverted than we all thought? Can Tyler get over Lindsay once and for all? Will Sierra be left without tears at some point? Will Owen ever learn to watch what he eats? Where's Courtney?" he winked at the camera, "the answers to those and many more questions here, in Total... Drama...!"
"World Touuuur~!", sang Jerd and Priya appearing in front of Chris.
"Hey! This is my show!" shouted the host.
