After a good moment, Leshawna and Harold finally separated and Leshawna gave Harold a loving look. "Harold I'll say it again, you are the strangest, baddest, and freakiest white boy I have ever met," Leshawna quoted the words she told Harold back on Playa Des Losers. "But now…I think I'm ready to take that step."

 

"Really? You mean it?" Harold asked with an eager smile. "So you'll go out with me?"

 

"Harold, when this crazy show is over you and me are gonna go on one hell of a first date," Leshawna assured Harold before giving him another kiss. "But first, kick everyone's butt here and win that grand prize. You got it baby?"

 

"I promise, I'll win this for you!" Harold declared as he put a hand to his heart. Harold then had to watch as Leshawna, his now girlfriend, walked down the carpet and waved him farewell as it drove off. "Farewell Leshawna! I'll carry on knowing you're rooting for me!"

 

Ronnie Anne smirked as she caught her statue with Tyler gasping and looking down. "Oh no Tyler…" Lindsay let out sadly. First her best friend got the boot first and now her boyfriend is gone.

 

"It's ok Lindsay, I lasted longer than last time so that's still something to be proud of," Tyler tried to look at the bright side of this as he hugged Lindsay before he started to walk away. "I'll join Beth in cheering you on babe! Good luck!" Lindsay smiled as she watched Tyler enter the Lamosine…and hit his head against the top of the vehicle. "Ow!" After getting hurt one last time for the road, the Lamosine drove off and took Tyler away forever.

 

Dawn caught her statue as Trent let out a sigh of acceptance before standing up. "Welp, can't say I didn't see this coming," Trent sent everyone a simple smile and wave before making his way down the carpet. "It's been fun guys, good luck with everything. Rooting for all of you,"

 

"Hey Trent, before you go…" Mike called out to Trent, wanting to speak with him one last time before he entered the lamosine. "Thanks…for everything. You were my first friend. I really couldn't have made it this far without you. I owe you a lot man,"

 

"Hey, no sweat dude. Was a pleasure meeting you," Trent sent Mike a thumbs up that the tanned teen happily returned. "Looking forward to hanging out with ya again, I'll tell Gwen you all said hi."

 

And taking his elimination with dignity and grace, Trent entered the lamosine and drove away from Total Drama Action for good.

 

"Oh thank goodness," Bridgette let out a sigh of relief as she caught her Gilded Chris.

 

"Oooooh…" Mike groaned out as he stood up and was ready to take the walk of shame.

 

"Sorry man," DJ apologized to Mike. "You were just a bit much today,"

 

"No, no, I get it. You're right," Mike let out before putting on his best smile. "But hey for my first go around, 8th out, out of 20 isn't too bad. Kind of expected to be out sooner than that haha. Just…thanks for keeping me around for this long. Good luck guys, I'll be cheering all of you on."

 

And so Mike made his way down the carpet of shame, and was the first of the three newcomers to head inside the lamosine and drive away from Total Drama Action for good.

Aftermath

 

Once again we open up on the set of Total Drama Aftermath at Hotel Des Losers. Courtney and Beth were at their usual spots on the couch in the middle of the set and to their left was the peanut gallery consisting of the contestants who didn't get to compete this season as well as the contestants who were previously kicked off consisting of Gwen, Duncan, and Owen with the big guy looking to the camera and waving.

 

"Welcome once again everyone to the Total Drama Action Aftermath show!" Courtney greeted as she and Beth looked to the camera with Courtney giving a simple and small smile with Beth grinning enthusiastically and waving to the camera. "Like before I'm your host Courtney."

 

"And I'm your co-host Beth!" Beth greeted while bouncing a bit in her seat causing Courtney to give her an amused look. "And we're so excited to bring you another episode of the Aftermath show. Thankfully we didn't lose our jobs after the um…'meeting' Courtney and Duncan had with the producers last time hehe."

 

"Never knew meetings could be so much fun," Duncan said with an amused grin as he remembered exactly how that 'meeting' played out. "You see a lot more people squirming then ya think,"

 

"Why do you think I wanna be a lawyer?" Courtney chuckled a bit. "That's half the job and it is oh so satisfying~"

 

"You two really are meant for each other," Noah pointed out bluntly.

 

"And that's a great Segway into introducing all our other friends we got with us." Courtney pointed out as she gestured to everyone else that was at the hotel with them. "As usual we got with us Noah, Cody, Ezekiel, Katie and Sadie, and Eva."

 

Each of the past contestants Courtney pointed out gave a smile and wave to the camera once they were called out, except for Eva who merely nodded, before Beth spoke up and gestured to the three new people in the peanut gallery. "And while they may have lost in the game they're winners in our hearts," Beth stated kindly before beginning the introductions. "We have Gwen, Duncan, and Owen!"

 

"Aaaaw thanks Beth!" Owen told the co-host with a big smile, showing off his still wired jaw. "You're a winner to me too!"

 

"And today we'll be joined by a number of other people that also unfortunately lost their shot at the one million dollar prize!" Courtney began before picking up the tablet on the table and pulling up some clips from the past challenges that went on between the first Aftermath and now. "We've had some pretty intense challenges since our first aftermath show. The space movie challenge, western flicks, animation."

 

"Not to mention the Caveman movies and Spy films," Beth listed the last two challenges as clips of the two she mentioned popped up on the big screen. "I kinda wished I was still in the game for the caveman challenge, I think I'd make a really cute cave girl! But what about our previously kicked out contestants, any challenges you wished you could have partook in."

 

"Well kinda wish I was there for the animation challenge not gonna lie," Gwen spoke up first and gave her two cents on the question. "I actually researched a lot about old timey animation for various school projects and found it fascinating. A lot of old cartoons rely on dark themes for humor and have a lot of stuff referencing occult stuff so that was right up my alley."

 

"Oh I would have loved to be there for the cowboy movies!" Owen brought up the challenge he wished he could have been there for. "I've always wanted to mimic those scenes you see at the end of most of them with the cowboy galloping into the sunset on his horse!"

 

"Is there even a horse that'd be able to carry you?" Cody asked with a raised brow with Owen not really giving a response to his question.

 

"Gonna have to go with the big guy here, would have loved the opportunity to participate in the shooting range," Duncan stated with many looking a bit off put at the thought of Duncan with a gun. "Spy movies would have been cool too I guess, wired up plenty of stink bombs before so I think I'd know a thing or two about unwiring them."

 

"Why don't I trust you with any sort of explosive," Courtney told Duncan with a playful tone with her boyfriend simply smirking and rolling his eyes. "But we'll get to hear the now ex-contestants' thoughts on these challenges amongst other things as well, we got quite the selection of people to give interviews to! We got Leshawna and Tyler with us today!"

 

"Not to mention Trent and Mike!" Beth announced as an image of the four mentioned ex-contestants appeared on the big screen. "Poor Mike, it's gotta sting being the first newcomer to get the boot,"

 

"To be fair he was at a disadvantage going on," Courtney pointed out, getting a few raised eyebrows aimed her way. "He is rather less experienced at the game than the others, and as Chris himself pointed out his alternate personalities did kind of end up being a double edged sword. Sure Svetlana, Manitoba, and Mal certainly had plenty of their own advantages but Vito and especially Chester…"

 

"Ok gonna have to agree with you there," Beth nodded as she and everyone else had to agree with that when it came to Mike's chances of getting farther in the game. "Vito at least did well on the surfing challenge but Chester kinda just messed things up for everyone…"

 

"We'll have a chance to discuss that more with him when it's his time to take to the interviewing couch." Courtney stated before going to the tablet and pulling up a few clips of Leshawna that played on the big screen. "Leshawna started the season as one of the strongest competitors in the competition if her run on Island was anything to go by. She had the will, drive, strength, and of course the sass to take her all the way to the end,"

 

"But unfortunately her stay on the show was cut short when Lindsay, who was sick of taking all the crap her team was giving her, managed to work Leshawna's temper against her and lead her to abandon the challenge to turn Ronnie Anne and Heather into roadkill." Beth explained as a clip was played showing that exact moment of Leshawna running over Heather and Ronnie Anne with her moon rover. "While certainly satisfying to watch, and I was proud of Lindsay for standing up for herself, it did lead to Leshawna getting voted off by her team. But not before receiving the sweetest love confession from Harold!"

 

"It was about time those two hooked up!" Courtney yelled out as the clip showed Leshawna and Harold sharing a kiss. "Our first guest is a pro at moose riding, is afraid of spiders, and rode a bike with the queen of danger Izzy herself, it's Leshawna!"

 

Fanfare played and entering the set from the right-most side was Leshawna who waved to everyone as she stepped forward. "Hey y'all! How's everyone doin'?" Leshawna grinned as she went over the empty couches and sat down, ready for her interview. "Nice to see everyone here,"

 

"Hi Leshawna!" Katie and Sadie enthusiastically greeted the girl with a tude.

 

"It's so good to see you Leshawna!" Beth greeted her and Courtney's latest interviewee as Leshawna gave a high five to both Courtney and Beth. "It's really nice to have you here,"

 

"Hey it's good to be here girl," Leshawna nodded at Beth as she leaned back on the couch. "Sure I may not be in the game but this hotel is certainly better than staying at that cruddy ole film lot. Just got my nails done before the show started,"

 

"Oooo, very nice," Courtney said as she and Beth admired Leshawna's nails that she happily showed off. "So Leshawna, are you ready to answer some questions?"

 

"Eeeeh, that depends," Leshawna rose a brow skeptically as she looked above her. Leshawna wasn't an idiot; she watched all the episodes of the show, including the new ones as they came out, and she saw what was going on during the interviews last time. "Is some hammer gonna drop on me if I tell a tiny little fib or something?"

 

"Not sure, let me check," Courtney put a hand up to her ear to speak into the earpiece she had. "You did take away the hammer like I requested, right? Ok good. So we can just ask questions normally then? …Excuse me?"

 

"Oh boy," Beth immediately let out after Courtney said that. "I don't like the sound of that."

 

"Well what did you get?!" Courtney shouted as she stood up, an angry look on her face. After a few seconds Courtney's eyes widened as she looked upwards. "A WHAT?!"

 

Suddenly everyone gasped and watched as an anvil was lowered from the ceiling, hanging by a rope over the couch where Leshawna was sitting. "Is that an anvil?!" Katie yelled out as she pointed to the large metal object.

 

"You tellin' me they expect me to answer questions with that thing hanging over me?! Uh-uh, no way!" Leshawna began glaring towards the cameras and immediately stood up and walked a few inches away from the couch and making sure she was out of anvil range. "I think I'm good to answer questions standing thank you very much!"

 

"Good idea Leshawna," Courtney breathed a sigh of relief before growling a bit in irritation as she heard voices through her earpiece again. "No! I'm not forcing her to sit back down and possibly put her life at risk! Beth, let's just get to the questions before the producers start breathing down our necks more."

 

"Come on guys," Beth yelled desperately to the camera. "Don't we have any standards here?"

 

"Have you seen this show?" Noah pointed out with a blank tone.

 

"Ugh gonna have to agree with that." Courtney sighed out and rubbed her temples before sitting down again. At this rate she was going to have to break out the golf club again…sadly she never did return it to Ezekiel. "Ok let's just get on with this. Leshawna tell us, are you upset at your team for making you the second Gaffer to be voted off? Especially considered you made it so far last time?"

 

"Eh, don't get me wrong. While this hotel is nice and all and it's nice to hang out with y'all again it does certainly sting on losing out on all that cash money," Despite not sitting under the anvil Leshawna gave an honest answer that everyone could understand and nod in agreement with. "But I honestly can't blame them, I screwed up and let my temper get the better of me and cost my team the game."

 

"Sorry about what Lindsay pulled Leshawna." Beth told Leshawna with an apologetic look. While she was proud of Lindsay for finding a way to stick it to both Ronnie Anne and Heather, she felt the need to apologize on behalf of her bestie considering she did kind of end up getting Leshawna eliminated in a way. "I don't think she meant to get you eliminated."

 

"Hah, hey it's all good girl. I saw how they were treating her on their team," Leshawna reassured Beth, showing there were no hard feelings at all between her and Lindsay. "Heck I'd have done the same if I were in her shoes. Heather and Ronnie Anne need a few good smacks upside the head."

 

"Couldn't agree with you more there," Beth chuckled, one that was shared between Leshawna, Courtney, and a few others in the peanut gallery. "So I got a question for you, are you serious about finally being ready to be in a relationship with Harold?"

 

"Heh, didn't take you for the gossip type honey," Leshawna playfully narrowed her eyes at Beth who merely shrugged with a sheepish look on her face. What can she say, Beth loved the relationship stuff going on in the show. "Well if you gotta know, yes I am. I didn't wanna start right away with him since at the time me and Harold really barely knew each other. We were on separate teams during Island and he got kicked off right before the merge. We did get to know each other a bit at the resort but I still didn't wanna risk just jumping in, ya know?"

 

"Slow and steady does win the race," Courtney nodded in response. Her and Duncan's relationship certainly took its sweet time picking up.

 

"Yeah you get it girl," Leshawna said to Courtney before getting back on track with the question. "But now that we were on the same team this season and were working together it really helped me see everything that made Harold so great. Can't deny the white boy does have some mad skills. And he just does these things that get my little ole heart pittering and pattering like a motor boat."

 

"Aawwww," Beth couldn't help but gush a little bit.

 

"So yeah, when me and Harold meet up again I'm gonna show that little man one heck of a good time," Leshawna vowed before frowning as she noticed the expression some of the boys perverted smirks. "Hey! Y'all get your mind out of the gutters! I meant take him on some dates, I ain't crazy enough to go all the way to third base before we even went to the movies or dinner together,"

 

"Just ignore them Leshawna, boys will be boys," Courtney stated with both Leshawna and Beth nodding in unison before Courtney went to pick up the tablet again. "Now let's move onto some viewer questions! Our first question is from LincRold_1504, where and who taught you how to dance like that? The one you did on the beach challenge?"

 

"Oh boy…" Beth let out as the rest of the peanut gallery either flinched at the memory of it or began snickering.

 

"Hah, you think I got moves like that from being taught? Nuh-uh baby, what you saw was nothing but pure raw talent!" Leshawna bragged, clearly lost in her own delusions of grandeur as she did a few 'small' dance movements. "Developed those moves over the years all on my own, I'm one of the best dancers back home."

 

"Heheheh," Noah quietly snickered as he looked over to Owen. "Hate to see one of the bad ones."

 

"Hahaha," Owen quietly laughed as he and Noah shared a high five.

 

"Hey shut up you two," Cody told the two of them with a worried look. "If she hears us we're dead!"

 

"Y-Yes, clearly…" Courtney awkwardly cleared her through, trying her best to be polite and not just revealing the obvious truth to Leshawna about her dancing. "You must have r-really worked hard on it."

 

"I'd be happy to give you all a show right now if you want," Leshawna offered, ready to bust a move here and now.

 

"Nono!" Beth quickly said, getting Leshawna to raise a brow. "We…only have so much time in the show, hehe. W-We need to spend it answering questions. M-Maybe some other time…"

 

"…Fine," Leshawna sighed but shrugged and accepted that answer much to everyone's watching belief. "Hit me with the next one then,"

 

"Nice save," Courtney whispered to Beth before reading the next question. "BattleCry85 asks, Leshawna, how does it feel to be with Harold now? Oooooo, another question about your relationship~"

 

"Heheh, yeah I expected this to happen," Leshawna chuckled, fully expecting to get asked at least a couple questions about Harold. But hey she had nothing to hide so she'll happily answer. "But I gotta say it feels really great. I do really like Harold and I know he liked me back, so I'm glad we're finally able to take that first step and start getting romantic with each other. Well, guess I still gotta wait to see him again but you know what I mean."

 

"Oh I think we do," Beth said with Courtney nodding in agreement, both girls having boyfriends so they definitely understand where Leshawna was coming from. "Any plans for when you do see him again?"

 

"Well, I meant it when I said we were gonna go on one hell of a date." Leshawna confirmed, showing she was gonna keep her word about that. "But after that we'll just have to see what happens, take the first basic steps of a relationship ya know? Don't wanna go into too much too fast."

 

"Totally fair, me and Brady are doing the same thing," Beth explained with Leshawna nodding in response. Leshawna still couldn't believe that Beth scored a hottie like Brady but hey the first Aftermath episode she watched proved it. "Now the last question we got for you from Fantastc98765, Leshawna, are there any stories about you growing up that you like to share? Someone with a bold personality has to have a lot of history."

 

"Ooooo, you don't even know the half of it haha!" Immediately Leshawna began laughing as a bunch of old memories popped into her head about some of the stuff she and her friends and family got into. "Of course there was the time my parents each taught me how to drive, me and my cousin Leshaniqua getting into all sorts of crazy stuff, oh! Oh! I know! Me and my group of school friends during homecoming!"

 

"What happened then?" Beth asked, curious about this.

 

"Ok, so there was a group of these mean girls at school, think just a bunch of Heathers," Leshawna explained, making many of the others shiver a bit. One Heather was too much, they didn't wanna imagine more. "You know the type, cheerleaders and bragging and hyping themselves up and stating how their float is gonna be the only one that matters. Gettin' under everyone's skins. So me and my friends thought they should eat their words. So the night before the parade we managed to snuck into the school and set up a few 'surprises' in their float. Come the day of the parade, they're in the front and doin' there thing when the surprises we put in their float went off. Bags of honey and feathers that got all of them makin' them look like a bunch of chickens!"

 

After Leshawna told her story nearly everyone on set started laughing at the image of that. "Wow! I knew you could be vengeful but that is something else!" Courtney let out in between her chuckles. "Color me impressed Leshawna!"

 

"Hey, someone had to show those female dogs their place," Leshawna told the host with a proud smirk. "I'll see if I can get the pictures to show y'all"

 

" Oh we'd really appreciate that. Now Leshawna one last question for you," Beth began once they ended the viewer's questions. "Who do you think deserves to win the million?"

 

"That's easy, Harold. He's got my support all the way," Leshawna stated without even needing to think about it. "But really I'd be happy as long as neither Heather or Ronnie Anne get it, those girls give dirt a bad name!"

 

"Very good answer Leshawna," Courtney nodded, happy with Leshawna's answer. "Thank you for your time,"

 

"Hey my pleasure," Leshawna told Courtney before pointing towards the peanut gallery. "Now you mind if I go sit over there instead? I wanna avoid that anvil like the plague,"

 

"Go right on ahead," Beth said with Leshawna heading over to where everyone else was and sitting herself down on a free seat. "Now before we go to our next guest once again we have a series of unseen clips for you all. Starting with Chester's nap time."

 

CHESTER'S NAP TIME

 

"Zzzzzzz…" Currently in the confessional Mike's alternate personality Chester was currently catching a nap in the chair. The camera on and recording every second of the alternate personality snoozing. "Zzzzz…zebra's got my check book…zzzzzz…"

 

Just then the door to the makeup trailer was heard opening up with Heather stepping into the confessional to say what she had on her mind only to see the old geezer fast asleep in the confessional seat. "Hey! What are you doing?!" Heather yelled out in an annoyed tone. "Wake up already geek!"

 

"Wha-huh-whoozit?" Chester let out as he was rudely stirred awake leading him to glare at Heather. "Dag nabbit can't ya see I was trying to catch some shut eye here? What's an old man gotta do to get some rest around here?!"

 

"Are you seriously doing the whole old man thing again?" Heather growled out, already running out of patience regarding Chester. Heather was certainly glad the guy wasn't on her team, even if he did have a few secret skills hidden up his sleeve, she wasn't sure how she'd take having to deal with this guy and his weirdness constantly. "Look, just get out of here already! Make way for the superior player newbie!"

 

"Superior my wrinkly behind!" Chester yelled out as he stood up and faced Heather, the bald queen bee cringing a bit in response to that. "Back in my day little brats like you knew to respect their elders! I'll show you one for I'll tell you what!"

 

Heather then watched as Chester pulled out a cane from…somewhere. "Where did you even-Ow!" Heather let out as Chester whacked her on the head with a cane. "Hey! You can't just-Ow!" Chester whacked her again. "Stop tha-Ow! I mean-Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!"

 

"Ahahahaha!" Courtney and many others laughed out in response to the clip. "Well looks like Chester is useful for something as it turns out. And here we'll see Jasmine proving her strength to the others in some good old fashioned arm wrestling!"

 

JASMINE'S TEST OF STRENGTH

 

"Come on…come on…" Geoff sweated and struggled as he tried to fight back against Jasmine's arm as she was slowly bringing it down to the table, a smug smile on her face. Around them all the other contestants watched with some of them rubbing their hands in pain including the likes of Ronnie Anne, DJ, and Tyler. It all started with Tyler challenging Jasmine to an arm wrestling contest, and losing horribly, with a few others challenging her as well. Others were smarter though and decided to just watch knowing they stood no chance against the Australian Amazon. Which Geoff soon learned as his arm was pinned down. "Ow!"

 

"Hah, nice try mate but you should know never to tangle with the best of the best," Jasmine bragged as she pointed two thumbs at herself. She wasn't usually one to brag but when in a competitive environment like this she couldn't help but revel a bit in her strength and athletic abilities. "Come on, anyone else wanna tango with the beast right here,"

 

"Ahem," A throat was cleared loudly, getting the attention of everyone. Stepping up to the plate was Izzy, the psycho hose beast grinned widely before cracking her neck and holding her arm in the proper arm wrestling position. "Set em up sheila~"

 

"Oooooo, them's fighting words mate," Jasmine gave Izzy a competitive glare and smirk as she locked her hand with Izzy's and got ready to start. "Bring it on~"

 

"Ready…set…go!" Dawn counted them off before chopping her hand downwards.

 

"Grrrrr!" Izzy growled out as she immediately started to push against Jasmine's arm to try and pin it down to the table. But her attempts were more…on the fruitless side. Jasmine smirked as her arm remained firmly in place, Izzy's attempts not even fazing the Australian Amazon who faked a yawn. "Come on…I'm making you budge…!"

 

"Heheh, keep trying mate," Jasmine chuckled a bit as she rested her head on her other arm. "I can do this all day~"

 

"Geez, first fighting Chef and now this," Beth said with both an impressed tone as well as a fearful one. "Seeing stuff like this kind of makes me happy that I got booted early. Definitely don't wanna risk going up against Jasmine in basically anything. But in this last clip we'll get to see more of Bridgette and Lincoln's friendship in, Bridgette gets animated!"

 

BRIDGETTE GETS ANIMATED

 

"Is it done yet?" Bridgette asked as she looked over the desk in the animation building that Lincoln was at. Once the challenge was over and before they could start their movie marathon as Chef got things ready at the Gilded Chris stage, Lincoln decided to have a bit of fun on the set. With the animals all cleared out Lincoln was able to use one of the desks on the first floor to draw something out with Bridgette eagerly looking forward to seeing it.

 

"Almost," Lincoln grinned before sticking his tongue out in concentration as he finished up the last drawing he was working on. After a few more moments, Lincoln was done and held up the sticky notes he was drawing on and presented it to Bridgette. "All done! Give it a flip!"

 

Bridgette grinned excitedly as she began flipping through the sticky notes quickly. The fruits of Lincoln's labor paid off as Bridgette watched a small animation of her play out through the flipping notes. It was an animation of her with a jump rope, jumping up and down while spinning the jump rope around her. "Lincoln this is so cool!" Bridgette told him as she started flipping through them again. Sure it was rather simple but Bridgette could understand how difficult making something like was. "Can't believe you were able to do this, it really looks like a real cartoon."

 

"Aw shucks," Lincoln blushed a bit at the praise, trying to be modest he merely waved off the praises. "Not my first time drawing up a little animation like that, it's fun!"

 

"Dawn was right, you really will do great in art school," Bridgette complimented her friend as she stashed the little animation in her hoodie pockets to show the others later on. "So would you wanna make your own comic book or a cartoon?"

 

"Hmmmmm, that's a tough question actually…" Lincoln put a hand to his chin as he thought hard about the question. He would love to do either, don't get him wrong, he had a deep love of both mediums. "I wanna say comics, mostly because I've made a few myself in the past. With some help from my friend Clyde of course. But if I'm able to make a cartoon you definitely won't see me complaining about that. Would just need a good original idea for it,"

 

"Hey, maybe you can make a cartoon based around our experience on the show," Bridgette suggested with a bit of a chuckle.

 

"Ha! Imagine that!" Lincoln soon began laughing a bit with her.

 

"Oooooo, I'd love to be a cartoon!" Beth clapped her hands at the idea of that. "I'll happily be a voice actor for myself!"

 

"It would be pretty cool not gonna lie," Courtney chuckled at the idea herself before reaching for the tablet and beginning to play some clips of the next guest they had come on. "Now our next guest had quite a lot to prove coming into the second season! Being the second one voted out in season one, Tyler was eager to prove that he was more capable than what people originally thought from his short time on the show. However most of it usually led to him being sent to the emergency room. But still that didn't stop him from getting up and trying again and again. Gotta admire the tenacity,"

 

"Our next guest has sustained more injuries than anyone in the show's history, got salt and pepper thrown at his face, and is the boyfriend of my BFF." Beth began hyping the next guest up as she gestured to where he would be entering from. "It's Tyler!"

 

The fanfare played and everyone looked to where the jock would be entering from…only to see no trace of him anywhere. "Um…where is he?" Courntey asked only for Beth to shrug her shoulders. Narrowing her eyes in annoyance a bit Courtney stood up and shouted. "Tyler, that's your cue!"

 

"Woohoo!!!" Suddenly Tyler was heard, everyone watched as the jock came onto the set…swinging on one of the wires to the lights. "Extreme!"

 

"AH!" Everyone screamed as they lowered their heads as Tyler swung around before letting go and landing right on the couch the interviewees were supposed to go on.

 

"Yeah! Nailed it!" Tyler cheered for himself at successfully pulling that off. And without getting injured to boot.

 

"Wow that was…actually pretty impressive Tyler," Beth complimented as she smiled at Tyler with Courtney still giving him an annoyed look. A little warning to that stunt certainly would have been appreciated. "Nice job!"

 

"Thanks Beth! Wanted to make a big entrance ya know!" Tyler grinned as he leaned back on the couch without a care in the world. "Good to see everyone again, how are ya guys doing?"

 

"Hey Tyler!" Owen enthusiastically yelled out to Tyler while holding up Mr. Coconut. "It's good to see you again, Mr. Coconut here missed you!"

 

"…" Mr. Coconut let out.

 

"…Why didn't you take that away from him," Tyler immediately grew irritated as he aimed his question at Courtney.

 

"Just…ignore it Tyler." Courtney sighed out before putting her smile back on and getting on with it. "Now before we continue I do need to warn you about the anvil above your head…"

 

"Oh that," Tyler surprisingly waved it off and continued to sit on the couch. "I ain't worried about that, I saw it when Leshawna was interviewed. I don't plan on fibbing at all so I'll stay right where I am,"

 

"That boy has guts," Leshawna stated with many nodding in unison.

 

"Well…if you're sure," Beth wasn't too sure about this but if this was what Tyler wanted then they didn't have much choice. She just hoped he was an honest person. "So Tyler, how do you feel about being cut sixth? You made it farther than last time for sure but still on the earlier side,"

 

"Hey I'm all good," Tyler reassured them with a grin, not appearing to be upset about getting kicked off. "I aimed to do better than I did first season and hey, I did! Plus me and Lindsay are still going strong so I definitely won in one area!"

 

"Well glad to see your spirits are still up," Courtney said with a smile before pulling up the tablet. "Now let's go to some viewer questions shall we? AstroSpider asks, were you always this prone to get physically hurt or did it only happen when you joined Total Drama?"

 

"What? Getting hurt?" Tyler scoffed at that and crossed his arms, the jock apparently in denial of all this. "I have no idea what you're talking about?"

 

Beth and Courtney both deadpanned at Tyler as Beth grabbed the tablet and began playing a montage of clips that showed the various moments of Tyler getting hurt throughout his time on the show.

 

"…That was all edited in!" Tyler claimed, but it was clear no one believed him.

 

"Tyler, you can lie to us but you can't lie to yourself," Courtney told him in a blank and blunt tone.

 

"I'm not that accident prone!" Tyler tried to claim as he kicked forward, only to hit his foot against the leg of the coffee table. "Ow!"

 

"Clearly…" Beth shook her head before reading out the next question. "JauneArctheGod asks, How come you didn't defend Lindsay from getting hateful comments thrown at her by either Heather or Ronnie Anne? I mean those two keep making fun of her and saying rude things to her most of the time and you are not saying anything in defense, what's up with that?" After she read out the question Beth ended up shooting Tyler a nasty look. "Yeah! I wanna know that too, you just let her be bullied!"

 

At this, Tyler winced a bit and began both looking and feeling guilty. "Look, I'll admit I was just afraid of getting in between girls fighting like that. My dad told me never to get in between girls fighting, it never ends well." Tyler answered, but based on the looks he was getting no one was quite satisfied with that so Tyler began explaining more. "But also…I was just a bad boyfriend. I talked about it to Lincoln and he laid it out to me, I didn't respect Lindsay that much. I was wrong not to, so from now on I promise I'm gonna try my best and make it up to her and be the best boyfriend I can be. Lindsay deserves nothing less."

 

"You better mister," Beth, while she did appreciate Tyler's words and honesty, made sure Tyler knew that he better be keeping his word about this. "Because if you hurt her then you'll have me to deal with!"

 

"Easy Beth, down," Courtney urged Beth, putting a hand on her friend's shoulder to calm her down. "Let's just move onto the last question. Marius Wales asks, besides sports and Lindsay, what are your other interests?"

 

"Oh! That's an easy one!" Tyler perked up about this, happy to answer and definitely happy to change the tone from the last challenge as well. "I'm a big fan of game shows!"

 

"Game shows?" Courtney and Beth asked in unison.

 

"Oh yeah I love them. Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, The Price is Right. Me and my buds have nights where we all get together and watch our favorite game shows." Tyler explained with a fond smile. It was one of his favorite past times he's done with his friends for years. "But Japanese Game Shows are definitely my favorite, they just get so wacky and crazy."

 

"Huh, can't say I expected that but hey it sounds fun. And one last question Tyler," Courtney asked the usual last question. "Who do you believe deserves to win the million?"

 

"Lindsay easy," Tyler instantly answered with Beth and Courtney nodding their heads, completely expecting that. "Woohoo! Got through the whole thing without getting hurt! Who's the man, Tyler's the man!"

 

 

SNAP!

 

And then the anvil proceeded to snap from the rope it was on and land on Tyler, crushing the couch he was on. "…Honestly we probably should have seen that coming," Beth pointed out slowly before quickly rushing to try and get the anvil off Tyler.

 

"Ooooook then," Courtney nervously chuckled before looking towards the camera. "Everyone please enjoy another segment of, that's gonna leave a mark while we try and make sure Tyler's alright! Medic! And Eva!"

 

THAT'S GONNA LEAVE A MARK!

 

Whimsical music began to play as a montage of the shows most recently and painful moments began.

 

"AAAAAAHHH!!" Heather and Ronnie Anne yelled as they continued to run away. But unfortunately the two girls weren't quite as fast as a full speed rover and soon enough Leshawna successfully ran the two over leaving them all scuffed up on the ground. "Uuuuugh…"

 

"Haha! That's what you two get!" Leshawna laughed as she turned her head back while continuing to drive. This unfortunately made her miss the crater that was right in front of her and-

 

CRASH!

 

All the Gaffers watched as Leshawna crashed her rover right into the middle of the crater. "…Oops…" Leshawna slowly let out as she finally realized she may have messed up. "My bad."

 

Things were tense as their guns were still all raised. Tyler was refusing to back down so now it was just a matter of who would strike first. The only things they could hear was the train moving on the tracks and the occasional whistle of the train. Eventually…someone pulled the trigger and that one was Tyler. "AAAHHH!!!" Tyler let out a war cry as he shot the revolver at Trent.

 

Trent ducked to dodge it , he and Manitoba were about to open fire, until the BB bullet hit the door frame of the cart and began bouncing across the cart. Everyone watched as the bullet zipped in all directions, bouncing off the cart walls, floor, and ceiling and eventually-

 

"GAH!" Tyler let out as his own bullet hit him in the head and sent him to the ground unconscious.

 

"I think there might be some down here," Ronnie Anne and Geoff were searching the entire second floor by themselves for their team so the two were trying to double time it to find the sheets they needed for the challenge. Entering another room full of instruments Ronnie Anne stuck her hand inside a tuba only to be met with quite the nasty surprise. "OW!"

 

Removing her hand from the tuba Ronnie Anne did manage to pull out a bundle of sheets, but in the process a bunch of mice that were making their room in the tuba all bit their hand. "Grrrr!" Ronnie Anne let out before shaking her hand around to try and get them off. Once she shook them all off the mice all squeaked angrily at her before they scurried away. "Weirdly reminds me of home…"

 

"Grrrr…" Mike growled out before gasping loudly as his hair lowered down to cover one of his eyes. "Hehehe~ Surprise~" Mal said with a smirk. Suddenly Heather's eyes widened as she found herself being pushed back as she went from overpowering Mike to being completely overpowered herself by Mal as suddenly their positions were reversed with the alternate personality now threatening to push Heather off. But that'd be too easy, he'd like to have some fun. "Nice rug there."

 

Heather then watched as Mal released one of his arms from the tiny bone, and still somehow continued to overpower her, and grabbed her new wig from her head. "Hey!" Heather shouted at him only to watch in despair as Mal chucked it away. "NOOOO!!!"

 

BAM!

 

Mal then proceeded to slug Heather in the face and send her down into the tar to the satisfaction of many. "Too easy," Mal chuckled as he tossed his bone up and down.

 

But in his frustration, Mike let out a deep gasp and a certain cranky personality took over and stood up from where he was sitting. "Oh for Pete's sake!" Chester yelled out as he began storming up to Lincoln. Everyone gasped out in worry and began running after Chester as the old man took the bolt cutters from Lincoln. "It's not a rocket ship! Just cut all of them and the bomb won't be able to work!"

 

"No Chester!" Harold yelled out to the alternate personality. "Don't!!!"

 

But everyone watched in horror as Chester got all the wires into the bolt cutters and-

 

SNIP!

 

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Everyone yelled out as they quickly hit the dirt.

 

 

 

 

"…There see!" Chester yelled out after a few seconds with nothing happening. "It's fi-"

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

 

And like that the bomb went off after a few seconds of delay. Thankfully it was only a garbage bomb…but that still meant everyone was covered in garbage. "Uuugh…" A dazed Chester let out. "Did anyone get the number of that taxi…"

 

Once the montage was over Tyler, who had a massive lump on his head, was being carried away on a stretcher by some people in medical uniforms with some other people dragging away the destroyed couch. "Ok, looks like Tyler will be fine everyone. Nothing he hasn't faced before," Courtney sheepishly told the camera before clearing her throat and just deciding to keep the show rolling again. "Thanks again to Eva for helping move the anvil."

 

"I like a challenge," Eva stated with a shrug.

 

"And now that we're no longer doing anvils!" Courtney made sure to yell that while putting a finger to the ear piece. "We can continue with the other interviews in peace!"

 

"Hopefully," Beth said before pulling up the tablet and bringing up some clips of the next guest that was coming onto the show. "Trent started the season with a rather average record from the last time, though he was known for getting hurt quite a bit like when Owen crushed him with a crate of oranges or when Lindsay accidentally poisoned him during the trust challenge. But that didn't stop him from playing as hard as he could, nor did it stop him from scoring the girl of his dreams, Gwen! And in season 2 Trent happily put newcomer Mike under his wing and in the end helped Mike tell his team about his condition and proved himself to be a reliable friend to everyone on his team with them only voting him off because he refused to break the gentlemen's code."

 

"Our next guest is quite the guitar player, has a thing for mysterious goth girls, and has nine as his lucky number," Courtney began hyping him up before gesturing to where he would be coming in from. "It's Trent!"

 

The fanfare played again and, thankfully unlike Tyler, Trent came in from the right and waved to the camera before looking at everyone and giving them a greeting as he sat down on the remaining couch that was left on the right side. "Hey everyone, psyched to be here," Trent said in his usual calm and collected tone as Gwen got up from the peanut gallery and went up to her boyfriend and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Hehe, good to see you too babe,"

 

"You both mind if I sit here with Trent," Gwen requested of the two hosts.

 

"Hey don't let us stop you," Courtney told the goth girl with Gwen sitting down next to her boyfriend, Trent wrapping an arm around Gwen. "So Trent thankfully we won't have to risk an anvil dropping on you so we can get right to the questions now! Tell us Trent how do you feel being booted out of the show, two seasons in a row without making it to the merge. That's gotta be a little rough huh?"

 

"Maybe but hey like I said in the episode I made the mistake, I cost the game and hey I don't blame them for voting me off. That was just the consequences I had to face," Trent explained with a shrug, telling it straight like he usually does. "And hey sure I may not have won the million dollars but I made a ton of cool friends and got myself the coolest and hottest girlfriend in the world and if you ask me that's worth more,"

 

"Aaawww," Beth let out as Gwen blushed a bit, especially when Trent gave her a peck on the cheek. "That's really sweet Trent,"

 

"Hey it's just how I roll," Trent said with a chuckle. "And hey it looks like I might have someone new to enjoy music with. Gwen introduced me to her cousin Ella and she wasn't kidding, she really is super talented. Would love to play something with her sometime,"

 

"Oooo, you'll have to show us when you do," Courtney said before bringing up the tablet. "Now let's move onto the viewer's questions. TheCrescentRider asks, what was the first song you've made or played for the guitar?"

 

"Oh that would be a song I called One Woman," Trent answered, easily remembering what the first song he made was. "I actually sung it for my audition tape. It's all about wanting to find that one woman that my heart truly yearns for, and hey looks like my song came true~"

 

"You bet babe," Gwen told her boyfriend, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

 

"Aaaaww, that's really sweet," Courtney said, expecting nothing less from Trent. "Now then Observer asks, Trent, what are you planning to do next now that you and Gwen are both out of the game?"

 

"Well that's pretty easy, just spend some time with each other," Trent said as he held Gwen closer to him, the goth girl having no issues with this and gladly snuggling into Trent. "We haven't gotten much one on one time with each other since the resort at the end of the last season, so we've been trying to catch up on that and just spend some one on one time together, get to know each other a little more."

 

"Also we've been scouting some places near the hotel we can go to," Gwen followed up with. "So we'll definitely be going out on some dates soon, really looking forward to that."

 

"Aaaww, that sounds really nice," Beth gushed before reading the last viewer question to Trent. "And finally GengarDarker4602 asks, what was the first thing that attracted you about Gwen? What made you want to…conquer her? A-Am I reading that right?"

 

"Well that's an…interesting choice of words," Courtney couldn't help but laugh a bit as she looked over to Trent. "Care to comment Trent?"

 

"Curious about this myself as well," Gwen told her boyfriend in a playful tone, crossing her arms.

 

"Um, well, I can't say I ever thought about 'conquering' her," Trent stated rather awkwardly, a few of the others laughing a bit in response. "But I guess what first attracted me to Gwen is just how…mysterious she was. She was closed off but I could tell there was a lot to her than just a moody and antisocial girl that everyone else thought she was. So I tried to get to know her more and well the more I knew her the more I liked her and well, here we are now."

 

"Good answer," Gwen accepted, letting Trent breathe a sigh of relief.

 

"Really sweet answer Trent. And last question," Beth asked Trent the usual last question. "Who do you think deserves to win the million,"

 

"Hmmmm, good questions. My first two options for that are out already," Trent brought his hand to his chin as he thought about it. Of course his first two choices were Gwen and Mike but obviously they were out already. But after some thought Trent gave his answer. "I guess I'd have to say Lincoln, he's been a great leader to the Gaffers so I think he deserves to win it."

 

"Good answer Trent," Courtney nodded in response before looking at the tablet and getting ready for their last bit of clips. "Now before we get our next guest out here we'll show you the last set of clips we have with Kiss and Tell! Just remember viewer discretion is highly advised with this since our last set of clips definitely were…something. Let's see what's in store for us this time…"

 

BETTER CLEAN THE CONFESSIONAL

 

"Mmmmmm~" Lindsay and Tyler moaned as they made out in the confessional. They were oblivious to everything around them…until Lindsay opened her eyes and separated herself from Tyler. "Hey, is the camera still on?"

 

"Huh?" Tyler let out before turning back towards the camera. "…Eh," Tyler then crashed his lips against Lindsay again who merely shrugged and began kissing her boyfriend again.

 

"Hehehe~" Lindsay let out a rather lewd sounding giggle as Tyler got really deep into the kiss with the jock parting his lips a bit with Lindsay doing the same. The two began squirming a bit on their seat before they ended up falling down to the floor of the confessional, unseen by the camera but still heard. "Mmmmmmm~"

 

"W-Wow Lindsay~" Tyler let out a bit of a daze from what Lindsay was doing to him. "Wow Linds~ Didn't expect that from ya~"

 

"I got a whole lot more for you Tyler~" Lindsay spoke with a rather husky sounding voice. "Now lay back, I'm in charge~"

 

"Yes ma'am~!"

 

"…" Everyone was silent for a bit after seeing that special little 'confessional' with many of the guys, plus Katie, having a rather perverted grin on their face. After a few moments, it was Gwen that broke the silence. "Ya know, I knew it was a matter of time before something like that happened in the confessional."

 

"I hate that I have to agree with that." Courtney let out with a face palm, already regretting showing these clips. It was astonishing to just learn that many of her cast mates were…certainly on the friskier side. "Makes me wonder how long it'll be before a couple is actually directly caught on camera."

 

"Oh boy this show is gonna be flagged to heck and back if that happens…" Beth said with a dread before reluctantly starting the next clip.

 

LINCOLN AND DAWN GET PRIMAL

 

The contestants were currently getting a break between the first and second challenges, with some of them needing some time to recover after the wheel race, and Lincoln and Dawn were simply sitting on a pair of rocks together and enjoying the time before the second challenge.

 

At first they were enjoying the silence together until Lincoln glanced over at Dawn and properly admired her and the…little fabric she was wearing. Lincoln's face went red as he continued to stare at her, her complexion practically shining against the sun, her top clinging onto her breasts perfectly, and her butt threatening to spill out of her bottom. "I know you're starring~" Lincoln went red as Dawn spoke up and turned to him with a flirty look. "Now who's the little minks~?"

 

"Still you~" Lincoln pointed out as he scooted close to Dawn. "I mean look at you, your absolutely gorgeous~"

 

"Well someone's a real flatterer~" Dawn giggled a bit as she leaned closer to her boyfriend, pressing her bust against his arm. "You like seeing me like this~?"

 

"You better believe it babe~" Lincoln told her as he put a hand on Dawn's hips and slowly rubbed them, his hands making their way up to his waist. "And I love what you've done with your hair~"

 

"I figured your would~" Dawn licked her lips before leaning towards Lincoln's ear. "But why don't we cut the words and have some real fun~"

 

And Lincoln didn't say much more as Dawn grabbed him by the tie and pulled them behind the rocks.

 

 

"Huh…ya know, surprisingly tame compared to last time," Beth said before reaching for the tablet. "Now let's get our last clip and…huh…that's odd."

 

"What? What's wrong" Courtney asked with a raised brow.

 

"We don't have a third clip," Beth told her, causing Courtney to blink a few times before looking over the tablet. "We were supposed to have another Bridgette and Geoff clip right?"

 

"Yeah we were…" Courtney slowly said as she scrolled through the clips they had. Sure enough they didn't really have anything else from those two. "That is weird. I guess we're gonna have to settle for just two clips this time. Oh well. I guess we'll just get started with our last guest of the night!"

 

"Sounds good to me Courtney," Beth snapped her fingers at Courtney before putting on clips of the last character. "Our last guest was one of the three newcomers to the season. Mike seemed rather average compared to the likes of Jasmine and Ronnie Anne, but he quickly proved that couldn't be further from the case as he revealed himself to have Dissociative Personality Disorder with five other personalities consisting of cranky old man Chester, Jersey ladies man Vito, bad boy Mal, Russian Gymnast Svetlana, and Australian Survivalist Manitoba Smith."

 

"Our next guest has been kicked by a horse, hogtied Ronnie Anne, and once ate a brain made out of bacon," Courtney hyped up the last guest of the evening before gesturing to the right. "It's Mike!"

 

The fanfare played one more time as Mike walked up the set, waving his hand and looking a bit nervous. "W-Well hey everyone!" Mike stuttered a bit as he made his way to the couch and sat down to Trent's right, the only remaining seat on the couch. "It's nice to b-be here, and cool to meet everyone that wasn't on season 2 of the show."

 

"Well Mike may I say it's a pleasure to meet you," Courtney greeted Mike politely, helping ease up the nervous boy a little. "It's certainly been interesting seeing someone with your condition competing on Total Drama, you certainly had a fair share of memorable moments,"

 

"Hehe, well hey that's me alright. Never a dull moment," Mike quipped, earning a number of laughs from a few people. Mike then lowered his head and frowned as he turned to Trent. "H-Hey Trent, sorry for getting kicked out r-right after you did. Didn't do too well with you gone…"

 

"Hey don't be so down man, like I said sometimes that's just how the game can be. You just got unlucky is all," Trent reassured Mike as he put a hand onto his shoulder. "You ain't got nothing to be ashamed of."

 

"Trent's right Mike, besides you still made it decently far in the game," Gwen added in, giving Mike a supportive smile. "Considering it was your first season and you had your DID, I'd say you did really well."

 

"Well when you put it like that, I guess I did do pretty well huh?" That all got Mike to perk up again. He should be proud for making it as far as he did. Not quite the halfway point but still not a bad ranking at all as the 8th eliminated out of 20. "Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. So Courtney, Beth, you have any questions for me?"

"Why yes we do," Beth was the one to speak up first as she gave Mike a typical first question. "So tell me, did you feel mad at your teammates for voting you off solely due to your condition? After all it was Chester that messed up and not really you,"

 

"Nah I'm not mad, I mean Chester is still a part of me so I still do hold responsibility for it," Mike completely owned up to it. He refused to be one of those people who used their mental disorder as an excuse for their actions. Whatever Mike and his personalities did was completely on them, it's why he still felt guilty over the whole going to Juvie thing. "Besides let me tell you, getting blown up by a trash bomb and having to bathe in tomato soup ain't exactly a fun time. So I can't really blame the Gaffers for voting me off."

 

"Well that's very mature of you Mike," Courtney complimented the tanned boy before bringing up the tablet. "Now let's move onto some fan questions and see what they have to ask you, Tranquoc asks, how on earth did your alters appear? Gonna guess they mean your alternate personalities."

 

"Well, they sort of appeared during various scenarios." Mike answered, thinking about this for a moment before giving a more specific answer. "See, my personalities…they sort of appeared to help me make up for shortcomings of mine. Like I already told the story about Mal on the show, but with Vito I struggled with talking to girls but then he appeared to help with that. Chester kind of helps me vent out my frustrations, etc…except for Manitoba. I dressed up as an adventurer for Halloween and then Manitoba appeared. Kinda can't explain that."

 

"Huh, strange. I don't know much about DID myself so I can't really explain that," Courtney said with a shrug and Mike merely waved it off. He didn't quite understand everything himself about his condition, he just dealt with it one day at a time. "Well the next question is from Gbeago1504, How did Mal get you in trouble and end up in Juvie with Duncan? Ya know I'm curious about that myself."

 

"Can't say I know either," Duncan said as he eyed Mike. "I heard rumors in Juvie but nothing definitive."

 

"Well…I guess it wouldn't hurt to tell you guys the truth," Mike began hesitantly, scratching the back of his head. "Now I don't exactly remember since ya know Mal was in control, but from what I was told by my parents and the police apparently he wrecked one of my bullies new cars with a crowbar, and when he approached Mal about it they of course got into a fight and Mal knocked him out with the crowbar."

 

"Yikes!" Katie let out as everyone else's eyes widened at that story. "So property damage and assault? No wonder you got arrested."

 

"Yeah, it…wasn't fun," Mike nervously admitted with others giving him nods of sympathy. "Luckily when my DID was brought up in court it helped me get out of my sentence, mental disorders thankfully buy you a lot of leeway in court."

 

"Yeah they're basically Get out of Court free cards…" Courtney grumbled, knowing that was the case due to her studying to be a lawyer one day. "Well one last viewer question, WaterDragonMaverick asks, What are some of your greatest achievements at home with the help of your alternate personalities?"

 

"Oh well that's quite a few of them," Mike was easily able to begin listing various stuff. "Svetlana's helped me win quite a few gymnastic medals and trophies, and Manitoba helped me get quite a few Muskrat Boy patches since you know the hat is part of the uniform, and even Vito and Mal help me with arm wrestling matches for the occasional test of strength. Chester though…can't say he's helped me win anything."

 

"Yeah, that's not too surprising. And lastly Mike," Beth asked the usual last question. "Who do you think deserves to win the million dollars."

 

"Hmmm…I'm gonna have to say…Dawn," Mike took some time answering but it didn't take him too long to make his decision. "She knew about my DID from the start but didn't say anything to anyone, I really appreciated that she kept it a secret until I was ready to tell everyone. So she's got my respect."

 

"She's come quite a ways from blurting out everyone's secrets on the fly hasn't she," Courtney said with a chuckle, getting a few nods of agreement. "Guess being on the Island really helped her social skills."

 

"Oh! And it looks like we're getting a viewer call!" Beth announced as she held up the tablet which was now receiving a call. "Looks like it's from someone named…Zoey! Anyone you know Mike?"

 

"Can't say I do actually," Mike put his finger to his chin as he tried to recall anyone named Zoey. But nothing was coming up. "But hey let's answer it anyway, I'd love to talk to them."

 

"Got it," Courtney was the one to hit the answer button and appearing on screen was a girl their age with brown eyes and pretty red hair done up in short pigtails and a pink flower on it. She wore a sleeveless and shoulderless red top that exposed her midriff, a black choker, light brown jeans, and two red bracelets on each wrist. "Hello there Zoey and welcome to the Aftermath show!"

 

"O-Oh wow! I-I wasn't e-expecting anyone to a-answer my call, talk about lucky," The girl on the screen known as Zoey stuttered nervously a bit as she greeted everyone. Meanwhile Mike found his eyes being fixated on the girl with his cheeks going a bit pink as he admired just how pretty she was. "W-Well hey everyone there on T-Total Drama! It's r-really nice to be here. H-Hi Mike! It's really nice to meet you!"

 

"I-It's nice to meet you too Zoey," Mike found himself stuttering a bit as he greeted Zoey. "R-Really cool to have you call me up today. W-What's up?"

 

"Well…I-I was wondering if I could ask you something," Zoey said rather shyly before averting her gaze from Mike on the screen. "I-If that's ok with you o-of course, y-you don't h-have to i-if you don't want to…"

 

"No, no, that's totally fine!" Mike reassured her, nodding his head. "Ask away,"

 

"Well…I guess I was just wondering…how were you able to audition for Total Drama in the first place?" Zoey asked as Mike raised a brow at her. "It's just…you have your condition yet you were able to audition anyway and got in during season 2. I was…I was gonna audition for season two but…I kind of ended up chickening out of it…"

 

"Trust me, you might have lucked out there," Noah pointed out, only for Eva to lightly elbow him. But considering it was Eva it still made Noah wince a bit.

 

"Well…don't get me wrong it was certainly scary making that audition I won't lie to you there," Mike told her, answering the question completely honestly. "But…I guess I wanted to show that I could do it despite my condition. I knew it would be difficult to compete despite it but…I wanted to show that I could do it ya know? Show I'm not hindered by it. And honestly, I don't regret it at all. Going on the show was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I got pretty far and made some of my first friends. So I guess I can say if you're ever scared of doing something, just go in and prove to everyone that you can do it despite what they think."

 

"Wow…that's…really cool Mike. Thanks," Zoey told him with a light blush on her face, with one soon appearing on Mike again. Suddenly Zoey began blushing even more as she began fidgeting a bit with her hands. "Hey um…I know this is super weird to ask and I really don't mean to appear as one of those creepy fans but…maybe when the show is over I could…meet you in person? I-If that's ok with you o-of course, n-n-no pressure or anything…"

 

"O-Oh um…yeah! Y-Yeah sure!" Mike found himself answering that rather quickly as he grinned at Zoey. "I'd love too!"

 

"R-Really?" Zoey appeared surprised at that but soon broke out into a grin. "W-Well that's great! I-I can't wait to see you! I-I better go now but…I'll see you soon Mike, bye!"

 

"Bye!" Mike waved her off as Zoey hung up, leading Mike to let out a sigh with a bit of a dopey grin on his face. "Wow…"

 

"Aw dude nice!" Trent complimented his friend as he patted him on the back. "You just scored yourself a date!"

 

"I-I did?" Mike stuttered a bit before it all dawned on him. He…did kind of accept a girl's request to hang out. A really, really pretty girl. "O-Oh wow…I…guess I did…hehe,"

 

"A girl with very pretty red hair~" Sadie pointed out to Mike.

 

Mike's face went red with him trying to hide behind his hands as everyone gave him amused looks. "Well I guess Mike's got a lot to look forward to," Courtney stated with a chuckle before she and Beth looked at the camera. "And so do all of you at home! With the Gaffers and Grips tied with their teammates it's anyone's guess as to how things will go for them moving forward! So stay tuned so you don't miss it on…"

 

"Total. Drama. Action!" Courtney and Beth said in unison as they ended the Aftermath.
