Total Drama Author 2

A lot of people think that they are great authors. Over half of these people are only okay-good. This is not only a camp where people are getting their writing skills improved but they are competing to be the best author.... Who will prove that they have the skills? Who will crumble under the pressure? Who will rise to the occasion?

How it Works

 * 1) Two teams will be constructed.
 * 2) The teams compete in challenges. (i.e. Write a fan-fiction where Lindsay takes a hard test OR write a story with Noah attempting to play basketball.)
 * 3) Nalyd Renrut and TDI19 will read the stories and the decide the winning team.
 * 4) The winning team gets INVINCIBILITY!!!!!
 * 5) People (competing or non-competing) will vote for who should go home from the losing team (like American Idol).
 * 6) The judges can save them, but only once, before the merge.
 * 7) Repeat steps 2 through 5/6.
 * 8) When there are ? people left, there will be one team. (The Best-Sellers)
 * 9) More challenges, more stories, more eliminations.

Week One
Nalyd: Welcome all, to TDA2!

Owenguy101: Hiya Nalyd!

Sunshine: I really got in! I really got in!!!! *hyperventilates*

Turnertang: This is going to be awesome!

Fadingsilverstar: Ready to rock, guys!

Anonymos: Good luck all! (To self) You're gonna need it.

Fadingsilverstar: *stands on a mountain while triumphant music plays* THIS. IS. TOTAL. DRAMA. AUTHOR!

TDI19: Hey guys! Good luck on Season 2!!! Isn't it ironic? There are 19 competitors this season!!!

Anonymos: That is weird.

Sunshine: Ccrrreeeepppyyyy... OMG Fadingsilverstar! You did join! Yay, I just lost all chances of winning!!!

Fadingsilverstar: Awww, c'mon! You're a great author! I'll really have to be on my toes if I wanna compete with all of the talent here!

Zeke: Hope I make it farther.

Turnertang: I think you will do fine.

Sunshine: I can't wait for the first challenge! *bounces off walls*

Anonymos: Oh me either!

Fadingsilverstar: Bring it on!

Nalyd: I think you all shoul dno that the teams will be formed NEXT week. This week, three people will be eliminated. TDI19 and I will pick the eight worst stories, and then everybody (competing or not) will vote for three people, and the three people with the most votes will go home!

Sunshine: HOLY RAVIOLIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nalyd: Who will rise to the occasion? Who will set the bar? Who will go home after one week??? I dunno.

Zekey: Did you bring Sunny D with you, Sunshine?

Sunshine: Of course! Little Sunny D is my own personal cheerleader!

Sunny D: *waves ravioli pom-poms* Go Sunshine!!!

Zekey: You know what? NALYD HATES HIM!!!! (Sticks tounge out at Nalyd) BOO!!!!

Tdi: Three people will be eliminated? Dang

TDI19: Well, it will surely be interesting. Nalyd, will I come up with some themes and twists?

Turnertang: Yes!! Paragraph form. Thanks Nalyd!

Nalyd: I HATE script form! TDI19, we'll discuss it when we're both on, okey dokey?

Turnertang: I love using paragraph form!

thebiggesttdifan: You guys like my story? I love how Owen doesn't say anything.

Sunshine: I like it! XD Is mine alright, do you think?

Anonymos: I loved your story, Sunshine! What did you guys think of mine?

TDI19: Sunshine, you are like me. You write a lot!!!

Anonymos: Yeah, it was really long... but I finished it and loved it! Soooo, what did you guys think of mine?

TDI19: I can't say anything yet! Nalyd, do you think we will still rank the stories best to worst?

Anonymos: Gosh, TDI19, I wasn't talking to you! I was talking to the other people!

Sorrel: its amaing every one who did theres is amazing

Sunshine: I agree! It'll be tough to decide the losers!

TDI19: I have some people pegged to lose. I won't say who though!

Anonymos: Almost everyone so far has put Owen, Izzy and Lindsay in their stories so far.

Sunshine: I think I was the first to use Lindsay, and I'm the only one to use Heather so far...

thebiggesttdifan: I'm the only one to use Justin, Duncan, and Harold so far. I guess mine is a littl e creative...

Anonymos: I'm so boring!! (Sobs.)

Sunshine: *pats Anonymos on head* I liked yours! Still LOLing at it! XD

Anonymos: Thanks, Sunshine! My favorite part is at the end where everyone beats each other up. I feel bad for Bridgette, the only sane one there...

Turnertang: Yours is good Anonymos and Sunshine what about mine.

SOrrel:what abotu me

Anonymos: You were good Turnertang and Sorrel.

Turnertang: Thanks.

Tdi: My favorites so far are Anonymous' and Sunshine's! But, everyone else has done good too.

thebiggesttdifan: What's with everyone starting to use Justin? But Sprinklemist, I love that. "What? It was the sexiest name on there." That made me crack up.

Sprinklemist: It's interesting how different each story is despite being in similar confines.

TDI19: I think that is a great thing! It shows so many different styles and everyone's originality and creativity. One great thing about this competition is that it really shows all the colors of all of us, and blends them together into a wiki rainbow! I felt like being nice and metaphoric!

Sprinklemist: I can see why you won the first one.

TDI19: That is supposed to be a compliment... *laughs nervously* right?

Sprinklemist: Of coooourse.

TDI19: Suggestion to anyone who is really serious in this competition: Check out some of the best work last season and see what you have to do to help make Nalyd, and now me, happy!

Nalyd: *sighs* I miss being the sole decider of elimination... TDI19 has a say and all the voters...

TDI19: But... but... I have good comments. *bursts into tears*

Nalyd: Okay, but be witty! No boring comments.

TDI19: Oh, after some of this week's stories, I think I will be very witty. Although, I don't know if this voting thing is gonna work out.

Sorrel: hello....agina

Sprinklemist: Of course, Fadingsilverstar does awesome. Good job.

Fadingsilverstar: Aww, thanks Sprinkle! Everyone's doing great!

Nalyd: Tomorrow the page will be locked, and throughout the day me and TDI19 will read and decide the bottom eight.

Owenguy101: Okay. I'm almost done with my story.

TDI19: Is it OK if I review EVERY story, Nalyd?

Nalyd: We will both review every story. Then we will make bottom eight lists, and compromis on eight. The BEST story gets a reward!

Fadingsilverstar: *der gaspen* Oooooh! I wonder who will get the reward! There are so many great authors!

Nalyd: *laughs* Not that many....

TDI19: *laughs* Ditto on some.

Redflare: my story sucks! I hate it, but I have writers block. DX

Nalyd: IMO, there are stories that are much worse.

TDI19: There are two I am ready to critique.

Fadingsilverstar: *gulp* Hopefully I'll manage to get a decent score.

Sprinklemist: I think you'll do good (and a few others that I liked, too), I think I'll be safe but not on top... Unless the judges like my humor (I'm doomed).

Fadingsilverstar: Thanks! I think you'll do well too!

thebiggesttdifan: Fadingsilverstar, it's amazing how you make every movement so slow and dramatic.

Zakkoroen:I totally understand if I get voted off. I hope I don't, though.

Kenzen11:I really want to stay too.

Fadingsilverstar: All this suspense is making a nervous, hollow ache in the pit of my stomach...

Sunshine: Like you have anything to worry about... you're one of my favorites to win!!!

Kenzen11:I do i didn't have alot of time to write

Fadingsilverstar: Thanks! *chews nails* I don't think you have anything to worry about, Sunshine! I might decide to escape to the recesses of my mind where there's still a shred of hope that I'll do a little better than average...

Sunshine: You realize I count your writing among my favorite published novels, right? And Kenzen, if you don't mind me saying, I think your problem is mostly grammar stuff. Remember, punctuation is your friend! ^^

Kenzen11:I suck at grammer.

Fadingsilverstar: Sunshine! You got in the Final Four! Congratulations! And thank you so much for the compliment! Seriously, huh? I'm only 13! What novels do you read?

TDI19: I am 13 next week, and I won season 1.

Fadingsilverstar: Ooooh! Cool! Happy Early Birthday, TDI!

TDI19: Thanks, Gigi!

Owenguy101: Is the judging going to finish?

Tdi: YAY!!!!!! I'M NOT IN THE BOTTOM!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 (Katie and Sadie moment)

Nalyd: Fadingsilverstar16! You win first place! On Saturday, after three people go home, you get to pick your seven teammates!

Anonymos: (To self.) I should have won. (Out loud.) Nice job, Fadingsilverstar16, your story was great!

Fadingsilverstar: Yay! Thank you all so much! Oooooh, I'll have to think about who I'll pick.

thebiggesttdifan: Wow...it feels so good to be safe!

Sprinklemist: Good job, FSS16. I knew it would be you. Hopefully I can give you more competition in the future.

Kenzen11:Save me :*(

Fadingsilverstar: Thanks, Sprinkle! I'm really gonna have to be at my absolute best!

Zak:Wait, who's the other team captain? Is it Sunshine?

Nalyd: No, Fadingsilverstar16 (who needs a shorter name for lazy typers who surprisingly have time to write in parenthesis) pick their team, then the left overs are a team.

Fadingsilverstar: You can call me Gigi, Nalyd!

Challenge One
This first challenge will be writing a TDA Aftermath show! For those who don't know, TDA Aftermath is a special TDA episode where eliminated (from TDA) and non-competing characters talk about their experiences. Too avoid a lot of spoilers, you can pick any two contestants to host the show, and pick two TDA contestants to be the guests (meaning that they were eliminated.) The stories MUST be written in paragraph format. The stories will be judged on originality, gramamr, and spelling. Worst eight stories will be put up for elimination and three of those eight will be eliminated. Stories due by Thursday morning, 6:00 eastern.

Judging
(For hosts only, but other people can read. You guys can talk about this on the week one chat.)

Nalyd: TDI19, my bottom eight are Zakkoroen, Ricky490, Owenguy101, Tdifan1234, Codaa5, Kenzen11, TDIMan7, and RockSK8R. What about you? I also think that

TDI19: Here are my reviews. Okay, so we agree on Zak, RockSK8R, TDIMan7, Kenzen11, Ricky490, Codaa5, and Tdifan1234. I agree with the Turnertang nomination. So how about Fadingsilverstar16 as best? --
 * Sorreltail18- Uhhh... the grammar was OK at best. I want to see more effort in your story next week, if you are still here.
 * Zakkoroen- I hope that even though you were not able to write a story this week, that the voters see your talent and keep you on. Bottom 8
 * RockSK8R- It was not creative at all. Grammar was better than I expected. Also, there were tense problems. Overall, it just did not work. Bottom 8
 * Sunshine- I completely hated it.... if this was opposite world. Grammar was fabulous, story line was great, and the hosts were a PERFECT choice. I loved Lindsay finding Tyler. BOB THE LEPRECHAUN!!!!! I am calling it now.... FINAL 4!
 * Thebiggesttdifan- I liked it! Good grammar, good plot. Loved the end!
 * Ezekielguy- Ummmmm.... I don't feel like this was finished. Overall, a fair job. I think you should have made it farther last season.
 * Anonymos- HILARIOUS, CLEVER, AND CREATIVE! You got skills. I can't wait to see your evolution in this competition.
 * Turnertang- Meh. This story was just alright for me. A little boring, except for Eva. "It's probably just the wind!" LOVED THAT! Remember, you punctuate sentences AND you DON'T capitalize asked, said, etc. Bottom 8
 * Tdi- You used the same hosts. WHY? Overall, good.
 * Ricky490- I am upset you did not put up a story, as I think you have a knack for writing. Bottom 8
 * Owenguy101- Overall good. Next time, I want to see you go out of the box, because I think your choices were a little safe. Remember, DON'T capitalize asked, said, etc. Loved the Gilded Chris Candies! XD!
 * Sprinklemist- LOVE IT!!!!! Great, great job. You are very creative and clever and I loved how you created so many different random situations and tied them all together!!!
 * Tdifan1234- Same as Ricky490, I really wanted to see yours. I hope you can make it past this little blunder. Bottom 8
 * Codaa5- Where's the story? Awwwww.... I think you do have potential after looking back at last season. Bottom 8
 * Redflare- Ummmmm... I thought the grammar could have been better, but overall a fair job.
 * Kenzen11- I am going to start with the positives. Katie and Sadie hosting was a good idea and I liked having DJ's mom come out. Now, the negatives, and there are a lot. Your grammar is, PLEASE NO OFFENSE, horrible. Your sentences run into each other. You don't use capitalization correctly. You don't use punctuation at all. Your spelling is poor too. You used script form when asked not to (in parts). STORIES NEED GOOD GRAMMAR TO MAKE THEM WORK!!! Lastly, I saw little effort in this story. I think you are out. I am sorry this was very mean, but honesty is the best policy. I can't sugar it up and say this was better than everyone else's, because it wasn't. I can't sugar it up and say it was just OK. If you want to learn to be a good writer, I need to give constructive criticism, which tends to be harsh. Bottom 8
 * Fadingsilverstar16- Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. FRONT RUNNER! WHOO!!! I think that you are better than me. Good luck, great job!
 * Usitgz- Intersting. Crazy twist, but intriguing. Good job.
 * TDIMan7- More tough love here. Honestly, I think a turkey sandwich can write better than you, basing it on this story. Horrible grammar, and THE MOST BORING STORY LINE of the 19. Most importantly, I saw NO EFFORT AT ALL in this story. So, bye-bye. Bottom 8

Did you not read my comment to Gigi, Nalyd??? XD [/wiki/user:TDI19 ~Hi, it is TDI19!!! ] [/wiki/user_talk:TDI19 ...To... ][/wiki/special:Contributions/TDI19 ...From... ] 23:22, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Results
Nalyd: TDIMan7, RockSK8R and Kenzen11 are outta here!

Owenguy101: Goodbye you guys.

Team picking
Nalyd: Fadingsilver16, pick seven other peopel to be on your team.

Fadingsilverstar16: Alright, I pick Sprinklemist, Sunshineandravioli, thebiggesttdifan, Anonymos, Zakkoreon, Redflare, and Owenguy101!

Nalyd: You are the writing Gophers!

Fadingsilverstar16: Yay! So Nalyd, when's the next challenge gonna be up?

Nalyd: SUnday! BTW, good picks. Smart moves.

Gigi (Fadingsilverstar): Thanks. There was really no hesitation in picking Sprinkle and Sunshine!

Nalyd: I will be shocked when this team loses.

TDI19: me too! Didn't you knoew

Zeke: I bet'll get picked last 'cause of what happened last season.

Tdifan:Hey, guys. Sorry I didn't write a story last time. I was pretty busy last week, but I'll try my best to on my story this week. : )

Sprinklemist: I'm a Gopher! Woohoo! Thanks for the praise, Gigi.

Owenguy101: Me is a gopher!

Zeke: Zeky the loser...

Tdi: Wow. The other team has the best writers, no offense to my team. At least we have the runner up from last season

Zeke: Exscuse me? I'm a perfectly good writer! I'm GREAT!

Tdi: I'm not saying everyone sucks on this team. I think that we can win challenges

Zeke: OK but I'm warning ya, yer talkin' to the guy who wrote "My Totally Dramatic Life!"

Tdi: K

Turnertang: We are still going to win team!

thebiggesttdifan: I think we should redo the teams. It doesn't seem fair since there was no other captain.

Nalyd: If one team constantly wins there will be a switch.

Turnertang: Well they are going to win cause Fadingsilverstar picked the best authors so that means they are kind of going to win.

Usitgz: All the members of my team are friends, that makes ke happy.

Tdi: Team! We can win!

Turnertang: Yeah, we can do it!

Week Two Chat
Nalyd: Challenge soon.

Owenguy101: Oh boy!

Sunshine: HO YEAH! I have an AWESOME IDEA!!!!!! *does the happy-pixie dance*

Turnertang: I hope I do better this week.

Sunshine: I thought your's was good! Is my story this week alright? Writing as Justin is strangely enjoyable...

Turnertang: Your an amazing author Sunshine.

Sunshine: Thanks!!! I can't wait to see yours! ^^

Turnertang: I'm working on it right now.

thebiggesttdifan: Ya like my story?

Nalyd: The three stories up now are awesome! Gophers have it in the bag!

Anonymos: Thanks!

Gigi: Great stories, guys! I knew I made fantastic choices! Thursday is the due date like last time, Nalyd?

Nalyd: Unless stated otherwise, always thursday.

Gigi: Great. I've already started on mine.

thebiggesttdifan: Sunshine, your story really makes sense! I love it!

Turnertang: Everyone's story is so much better than mine!

thebiggesttdifan: I think Sunshine's the second to use first-person view, the first being me.

Nalyd: This group of authors is awesome!

TDI19: I completely agree. Each of you has your own individual style and all of them are turning out to be incredible. A good majority of you would have ANNIHILATED me if I was in this season! Great job and keep it up!! :)

Redflare: My story is horrible again DX.

TDI19: OK.... this is kind of predictable. Now, after a season of third-person stories, someone switches it up to a first-person piece. Now.... a lot of people are using the first person..... hmmmm. Just goes to show that when someone sees something they like, they pounce on it and take it for themself...

Anonymos: I didn't!

thebiggesttdifan: I hope maybe we get some *GREAT IDEA DELETED*...ooh la la that would be AWESOME!

Sunshine: Mine was the first story up, so I guess it's pretty obvious mine isn't copied... XD

Turnertang: Also your story is great Sunshine!

Sunshine: I'm blown away by everyone's writing ability!

Turnertang: I know. There are many great authors here.

Sunshine: Before this started, I was kinda hoping to make it to the finals. Now, I think I'll be lucky to make it to the merge. A lot of the people here are a lot better than me.

Turnertang: I still think you can make it to the finals.

Sunshine: Haha, no way. If I'm extremely lucky, and Nalyd and TDI19 pity me greatly, I might make it to fifth or so...

Turnertang: Someone doesn't believe in there selves.

Sunshine: LOL... nah, I just think there's plenty of people here who have more skill and are more deserving of the win.

Turnertang: You defiantly are a front runner in this competition.

Sunshine: I guess... I was actually pretty confident until Sprinklemist and Fadingsilverstar joined. XD

Turnertang: You're just as good as them.

Sunshine: No, they trump me big time. Just watch, Fadingsilverstar's gonna post her story and I'm going to drop to the ground crying at it's awesomeness... XD

Turnertang: If you believe you can win then you will! (Starts flying) WEEEEEEEEEE!

Anonymos: I don't stand a chance against you and the two of them... Turnertang what are you doing?!?!!

Turnertang: (Holdind coffee) I was hungry so I flew to Starbucks and bought some coffee. Here you and Sunshine can each have one. (Hands them coffee)

Anonymos: Uh, thanks...

Turnertang: (Fly's away) WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Sunshine: *chugs coffee* CAFFEINE!!!!!!!!!!!!! *laughs insanely*

Anonymos: (Shivers.) Scary...

Turnertang: (Comes back with a Mickey Mouse Hat) I went to Disney Land. I brought you guys presents. (Pulls out the real Goofy and Pluto) Here you go.

Sunshine: GOOFY!!!! I missed you, man!!!

Goofy: Garsh!

Anonymos: (Kicks Goofy.)

Sunshine: What was that for, Nonny? (LOL, boredom-fueled nickname XD)

Turnertang: (Fly's away)

Anonymos: Nonny? Goofy is so annoying!!!

Goofy: Well, garsh, Nonny, I didn't know you felt that way. Why don't we go get some coffee?

Anonymos: (Sighs) Fine, Goofy, let's get some coffee... you coming Sunshine?

Sunshine: CAFFEINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Turnertang: (Fly's back) Where did they go? I brought them sourvineirs from my trip to American Idol. (Pulls out Adam Lamber, Danny Gokey, Simon Cowell, and Paula Abduel)

Sunshine: It's Simon!!! *chucks a bowl of ravioli at him XD*

Goofy: Garsh, I'm scared!!! HOLD ME, NONNY!!!! (Jumps into Anonymos' arms.)

Anonymos: (Drops him.) Get out, Goofy!!! Let's go get coffee...

Turnertang: See ya later. (Fly's away)

Gigi: OMG I LOVE DISNEYLAND! I'M GOING THERE THIS WEEKEND (like I do every week xD)! *off topicness* I'LL TAKE AN HONORARY RIDE ON BIG THUNDER FOR YOU ALL. AND A HUG FROM MICKEY. &lt;3333

thebiggesttdifan: I hate Disney. Anydarnway, what's the next challenge TDI19?

Sunshine: Geesh, TBTDIF, it's only Tuesday! This challenge doesn't close 'till Thursday!

Goofy: Garsh!!!! Disney is amazing!!! That's what made me, hu-yuck!!!!

Anonymos: Uh-hu....

Turnertang: (Fly's back) i brought you guys stuff from the natural history museum. (Pulls out full tyrannosaurus rex fossil)

Gigi: Guys? I have some bad news... I think I actually may have to resign if my current case of the flu gets any worse. Also, I have final exams this week and this cold is not making it any better... I really, really don't want to quit, so I may just have to come up with a quick ending for my submission and just post it.

Sprinklemist: I hope you get better. I hope you can keep competing, and submit your story (no matter what format).

Gigi: *holds up hands in defeat* Alright guys, please know that the story I just posted I am not too satisfied with. I had no idea what to do with it so I just decided to wing it. Let's hope the judges take pity on me are a bit more satisfied with it than I am. Actually, that's one of the darkest stories I've written yet. Hm...

Sprinklemist: It's still a great story, Gigi. If not vaguely familiar... I;m sure you'll be safe.

Nalyd: Don't quit! Your team may be able to win and save you! If not, the audience loves you. (And me and TDI19 can save somebody)

Sunshine: *cries at awesomness of Gigi's apparently "bad" story* We ARE in the same boat... I posted my Justin story thinking "everyone's going to hate this"...

Gigi: Aww, Sunshine! I don't hate your story! Actually, yours is one of the best I've seen so far! (And Sprinklemist's, although I haven't read his or anyone else's yet because of time, I know will be great!)

Sprinklemist: I think you might find mine to be... Similar to yours in some respects. I'm a guy by the way.

Sunshine: They are kind of alike... weird... was mine really all right?

Sprinklemist: I heart yours. It makes Justin's personality change make sense.

Gigi: Oops. Sorry, Sprinkle. *edits* 0.o Ours are similar. I like yours alot better, though, especially the end. Fiendish smirk? Heather, you little devil you. xD And by the way, did mine really come off as dark and depressing, or is that just me? (Whether that's a good thing or not is for you guys to decide.) Also, yours was awesome, Sunshine! How you wrote about Justin finally realizing that he has "powers" was great!

Tdi: Mine sucks. I hope I'll make it to next week

TBTDIF: Fading, you're really good at writing drama, but we haven't seen you with comedy yet. And I don't think drama can...JUST KIDDING! A good drama story is exactly the same as a good comedy one.

Gigi: Thanks tbtdif! Yours was great too! Thanks for the praise, Nalyd! Man, it's good to be safe!

TBTDIF (why is this nickname so long?): Yeah, it sure is. When will someone be eliminated, guys (Nalyd and TDI19)

Anonymos: I'm sorry my story was so bad! I'll redeem myself when the next challenge comes out!

Sunshine: *attempts and fails to figure out why people liked hers* (What happened to the stories??? o.O)

Gigi: Are you kidding me, Sunshine? Yours was so awesome! Totally gives insight into Justin's personality. I think they remove the stories after the judging is done. I posted my story about Heather on my fanfiction.net account and my deviantart account. Is that okay, Nalyd and TDI19?

Redflare: Mine suck every week.

Anonymos: Sunshine, Nalyd puts the stories here to prevent lag.

Sunshine: Oh... probably shoulda figured that out. Redflare, yours was pretty good! And I still don't get the appeal of my writing... all I do know is I like writing in first person best...

Anonymos: My story got such a bad review!!!! I shall redeem myself when the new challenge has been posted!! So tomorrow I shall redeem myself!!

Gigi: Sunshine, I already told you yours didn't suck like mine! The only think I really had to focus on was deliberately not saying Heather's name until the very end. I hope the people on fanfiction.net don't slaughter me. ;_;

Anonymos: I'm sure they won't! Your story was awesome!

Usitgz:It's too bad half of my team didn't write a story :(.

Challenge Two
Nalyd: Okay, this week's challenge is a Playa Des Losers theme. Here's the catch: It has to be about either Justin, Katie, Sadie, Tyler, Beth, LeShawna, Duncan, Heather, Gwen, or Owen. All the people we heard little-nothing from at Playa des losers. Again, paragraph form ONLY. It will be judged on grammar, spelling, and if it makes sense.

Judging (2)
Nalyd: Time to judge!

Writing Gophers
1. Zakkoroen- Great! Good to see you back to your old writing standards!

2. Sunshine - Way to book out a great story! Loved it!

3. Thebiggesttdifan - An average story, pretty good. Little confusing...

4. Anonymos - Dance? Hotel des Losers? Very confusing. Good spelling and grammar however.

5. Owenguy - Makes sense, not very good grammar, and only decent spelling.

6. Sprinklemist - Definitely one of the best stories! Great everything!

7. Redflare - Moving story about LeShawna being accepted in playa des losers.

8. Fadingsilverstar16 - Beautiful story. Truly the best. I felt myself pity Heather (Who I always soemwhat pitied.) Even Heather Haters would be moved...

Typing Bass

 * Sorrel- I actually kind of found myself bored with the storyline, as it was basic. Anyways, it was just OK. It was kind of like ordering a sandwich, but with no meat in the middle; just the bread. You should definitely watch your spelling though. sepARATe.
 * Ezekielguy- Awwww.... just when I thought you had a shot at redeeming yourself this season, you post nothing week 2... :(
 * Turnertang- I liked the idea and the randomness... but you need to work on your punctuation.

Results
Nalyd: I say the Bass lose, and none of them should be safe from elimination. TDI19, agree?

TDI19: I agree completely!

Nalyd: Just like last time, anyone can vote and anyone can go home.

Nalyd: Ricky clearly got the most votes (12)

Week Three Chat
Nalyd: Challenge coming today!

Turnertang: I don't get the challenge. What are we supposed to do?

Anonymos: Will we be scored on the conflicts? Because the conflicts involving Heather are the most numerable and the biggest, so are we also going to be scored by the originality of the conflict? I know it has to be real, but if they are not as common, will they get better scores?

Owenguy101: Ricky's gone. I'm kind of glad he's gone. He did not post anything.

Sprinklemist: I tried something completely different. I hope you guys like it.

Nalyd: LOL Sprinklemist! Great job! In one fo my facs Courtney got rabies, LOL. Me and Sadie think alike, I suppose.

Sprinklemist: Was it in the Horrible Misadventures of Courtney? I read that, but forgot about. I forgot how much you don't like Courtney. I totally wasn't trying to pander the story toward you. Haha!

Gigi: Perfect! I've had an idea swimming around in my head that would totally fit in with this prompt. *grins evilly* And by the way, yours was very creative, Sprinklemist! Great job.

Anonymos: Did you guys like my story?

Tdifan1234: uhhh...who's Gigi? Anyway, You guys like meh story?

Gigi: I'm Fadingsilverstar16!

Turnertang: I'm glad you finally have a story Tdifan and its really good.

TBTDIF: Hey, guys...I might have to miss the next challenge.

Tdi: I hope my story is good

Gigi: *biiiig sigh of relief* So glad I was able to get mine done before the deadline.

Tdi: I look at the elimination chart and I'm the only person to not get any votes! Well, on my team, anyways

Challenge Three
Nalyd: Okay, this week's challenge is to put an end to a conflict. Take any people who hate each other, and make them forgive and forget. Like, for example, take Heather and Gwen (or a conflict where the people don't hate each other so much) and write about them eventually forgiving each other. It will be judged on believability, how major the conflict was, grammar, and spelling.

Judging (3)
Nalyd: TDI19, how about I get the Typing Bass, you get the Writing Gophers.

Writing Gophers

 * Zakkoroen- Lol! Short but good! Loved the end! It had everything needed: tacos, frozen pizza, and simultaneous ascension into heaven.
 * Sunshine- Uh-huh! Woo-hoo! *dances* Sunshine is in the ZONE!!!!! Great imagery, great grammar! Top NOTCH ALL AROUND! Calling it again: FINAL FOUR!!!
 * Thebiggesttdifan- You know, this one was just OK for me. There was something confusing about it. IDK, but good grammar. THANK YOU! You used quotations inside a quotation! Yay!
 * Anonymos- LOL! LOVE THIS STORY! CLEAR!!!!!! Yay! Good storyline and grammar! :)
 * Owenguy101- I liked it. You kept switching the tense you were writing in a lot though. Also, the epilogue was good. That Heather!
 * Sprinklemist- Wow! Thank you! The moral was incredible!!!!!! THE STORY WAS AMAZING! You are like a the $20 bill in the wallet surrounded by singles!
 * Redflare- You made this a very easy review to write. Ummmm.... good luck fixing your computer.
 * Gigi- You know that amazing book? YOU COULD BE THE AUTHOR OF IT!!!!!! That is it.

Typing Bass

 * Soreltail18 - Ummm... Good conflict, okay spelling and grammar... believability, however, not very. LeShawana and Duncan have frequently shown signs of disliking each other,so I don't understand why she'd want them together.
 * Ezekielguy - Dang, No story. I had high hopes for Courdy. (Courtney+Cody) No story = No points. NO STORY TWO WEEKS IN A ROW.
 * Turnertang - No periods, luckily only a few spelling issues. I think it makes a lot of sense for LeShawna and Heather to bond over a common hared, maybe not Gwen. Great conflict though. Good luck.
 * Tdi - Not a very strong conflict to resolve (but better than many others). Sort of awkward throughout. Good grammar and spelling. You definitely have a chance here.
 * Tdifan1234 - Really funny. I don't think they really had a conflict, more like love-hate. The conflict in the story isn't even resolved; Noah still hates them.
 * Codaa5 - Where be the story?
 * Usitgz - Weak conflict. Couples spelling errors.

Results (3)
Nalyd: You can keep judging TDI19. I think its safe to say which team loses, however. Can I PLEASE score Gophers next time?

TDI19: Yeah, yeah....

Bass Voting - Closed
Nalyd: No Bass are safe!

Nalyd: Y'all can chat here until Week three starts. Codaa5 is clearly out with nine votes against him.

TBTDIF: I might not be able to compete this week...but if I can find time, I will.

Gigi: Hope you can find time, TBTDIF. I'm not supposed to be too busy next week, and hopefully I'll be able to crank out a story before Wednesday. I wonder what the challenge will be this time....

Usitgz: I made it past the third week this time! I'm sad that everyone votes for me, I have afeeling I'll be voted out next |:(

Week Four Chat
Nalyd: Final fifteen!

Owenguy101: Uh. It's week four. Not three.

Anonymos: And we're the final 14 not 15...

Sprinklemist: I already know what I'm doing for this challenge.

Anonymos: I'm having trouble selecting a movie...

Nalyd: My bad. XD

Owenguy101: I know so many movies that this challenge will be a snap.

Sprinklemist: I know a lot, too... It's just that the movies I really like, people probably haven't heard of...

Sunshine: Can we do an episode of a TV show too or is that stretching it? (I'm dying to do a parody of an Avatar episode with TDI characters... Duncan Zuko! &lt;3)

Gigi: I love Avatar! Yeah, I think and episode of a TV show would be good. If not, I'll pick a scene from a movie I like.

Nalyd: Sure, tv shows too. I think the Gophers are gonna win again.

Gigi: Yay! Hm...now that I think about it, a Disney movie might be the safest bet. After all, I do own like twenty of them. xD

Sunshine: Woohoo! Workin' on my entry right now! I'm doing one of my favorite episodes of Avatar... it's in season 2... I wonder if you can guess it!

Gigi: Ooooh...is it the episode where we meet Toph and she joins the Gaang?

Sunshine: Nah, though I do love that episode. TOPH IS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER!!!!! And I'm not sure which character would be Toph... hmm...

Turnertang: In my story am I supposed to call the characters by their real name or the person their playing?

Anonymos: MY STORY STINKS!!!! (Cries.)

TDI19: Well, for my story of "Snow White" last season, I called the characters a mix of both names. (i.e. Snow Bridgette, Grumpy Eva, Prince Geoff, etc....)

Gigi: Aw man, it looks like I'm gonna have to brush up on my tragedy for this challenge. *puts on sad music*

Sprinklemist: I think I have to change my story idea. It will take forever, and I can't figure out how to make it different from the actual movie... Fortunately, I have another idea.

Nalyd: Guys, If Redflare quits I think we'll still have an elimination. He'll place fourteenth. Okay?

Redflare: Ooh I love Greese. We do go together like wm bam boo just like my brother its shama lama- oh forget it.

Sprinklemist: Sigh, all done. That took a long time.

Nalyd: Sprinklemist! I started readin yours and I exploded laughing!

Anonymos: O MY GOSH!! TDIFAN'S DOING HAIRSPRAY!!! I had the idea, but I did Grease instead. (Very poorly, might I add.) You put in all the leads, but (this is an optional character) you could put in Prudy Pingleton, Penny's mom.

Sprinklemist: I love her name for it, Hair Gel. Lol! (Thanks Nalyd)

Tdifan: Thanks. Hopefully during the summer, I'll make a tdi cameo movie saga, including Hair gel(Hairspray), Goth(Wicked), Cody and the Chipmunks(Alivn and the Chipmunks), and others!

Tdi: That sound cool! I would like to do a TV show one! Like, The Very Oddparents, iGwen, Cody and Noah (Phineas and Ferb), and others!

Sprinklemist: We're allowed to do tv shows for this challenge. I like the Powerpuff idea.

Tdi: Thanks. I'll change it to an episode so it will be easier

Sprinklemist : I just noticed that my story says Sprinklemist's Song above it. O_O

Nalyd: IDK how it got liek that. You may change it (I figured you did that...)

Sprinklemist: I didn't. I checked the history of this page, but it was like that before I added my story. I think I'll leave it, it's unique.

Sunshine: Must... finish... story... so... long... only... half... hour... TV... episode... (me + editing = epic fail XD)

Sprinklemist: You edited my song (it's okay). Sunshine... I know how it feels. I'm so glad I didn't pick a movie...

Owenguy101: I cannot figure out a idea! *cries*

Redflare; I have decided to leave.

Nalyd: You sure Redflare?

TBTDIF: Sorry I haven't been on, guys. One of my family members has passed away and I'm at a place with little internet access. Can you give me extra time?

Gigi: I'm so sorry to hear that TBTDIF. I know how you feel. My sister's unborn baby passed away yesterday.

Sprinklemist: Oh no, guys! I'm really sorry to hear that.

Challenge Four
Nalyd: Okay, this week y'all have to write a parody of a movie or story using TDI characters. Please include a cast list. This will be judged on if the TDI characters fit the roles assigned to them, grammar, and spelling.

Judging (4)
Nalyd: Okay, I got Gophers this time, TDI19 you got Bass.

Writing Gophers

 * Zakkoroen - Other than Geoff as Luke Skywalker, great picks! I just don't see Geoff serious enough to do that. Is this finished?
 * Sunshine - First of all, great picks. Second, you definitely captured the essence of perhaps the greatest Avatar episode ever! (They could have a spin-off: Zuko - One of many, many firbeenders. LOL!) Great as always Sunshine.
 * Thebiggesttdifan - I'm very sorry about the hardships you've faced lately.Maybe if the Gophers lose we'll save you. Your cast was great. Too bad you couldn't finish it.
 * Anonymos - Anonymos, you did great overall this week. Keep this up and I can see you in final six.
 * Owenguy101 - Your cast was okay. Your biggest problem was frequently switching between present and past tense. "He comes up." "He said."
 * Sprinklemist - This story is great. I kept laughing at it. Poor Owen. XD You're doing great!
 * Fadingsilverstar16 - AWESOME! You are consistantly great every week, and I think this is my favorite story of your's.

Nalyd: Okay, the Gophers are doing awesome. Nobody didn't post a story, but even with Redflare gone I think they've got it in the bag.

Typing Bass
TDI19: Well.... at first glance... it looks like I have a pretty easy job ahead of me!


 * Sorrel- *sigh* I thought you might have been able to rally with this story... but, I think you are in trouble tonight.
 * Ezekielguy- OK. Just OK. You put the story together well and it was definitely the TDI characters! It felt rushed, and was too short, though.
 * Turnertang- You need to work on your punctuation a lot, because it was constantly missing! The storyline was alright! I saw a reference to Spaceballs in there, am I right?
 * Tdi- I feel you let your team down. You were doing well before this, and this is a bummer.... The only problem with the beginning was the tense. You would say "are seen" which is present tense, and then switch to something like "said", which is in the past tense later in the sentence. I did love the cast though!
 * Tdifan1234- The casting was AMAZING! Unfortunately, that is all I can say. I was looking forward to "Hair Gel".
 * Ustigz- Uh...... weirded out by this one. At least you wrote a story! It was OK overall.

Well, I guess the Bass lose, and ANY of them could leave. Nalyd, what about you?

Bass Voting - Closed
Nalyd: Again, nobody is safe.

Okay, who has spent their last week here? Sorrel Ezekielguy Turnertang Tdi Tdifan1234 Usitgz

Nalyd: Will the Bass EVER win? Voting closes tomorrow afternoon, or in the morning if somebody has more than ten votes.

Nalyd: With ten votes, Tdi is out! Y'all can talk here. Next Week will start today since I'll be on vacation this weekend.

TBTDIF: Really, this is unfair. The team picking was really mean, and I suggest at least maybe...teams merging earlier?

Tdifan: I sort of agree. Maybe we could do a team switch or something?

Gigi: Yeah, I think it's time to do something. When were you planning to dissolve the teams anyway, Nalyd?

Nalyd: i was thinking merge, final nine/ten/seven. It will most likely be ten, so two more weeks. Y'all will be fine!

TDI19: I would like to say to Tdi, that I think you are the first really surprising elimination so far this season. I think you should have outlasted half of your team. Goodbye!

Anonymos: Yeah, Nalyd. I think the teams should be switched.

Owenguy101: Nah. I don't think the teams should be switched. It's as good as it is.

TBTDIF: That's because you've been standing in our shadow, Owenguy. I don't want teams to be switched, but merged would be easier.

Week Five Chat
Nalyd: Yo final 12!

Anonymos: (Pretending to be a gangster in an awful.) Yo, homie dawg! In the crib, yo.......... Foshizzle.

Sunshine: I... I can't go on like this. I'm overwelmed by the guilt. I-I... I LEFT OUT A BIG PART OF THE EPISODE WHEN I WROTE THAT PARODY!!! *cries* (Ha, I'm overreacting again, I think. I left out the flashback of Fire Lord Azulon's/Hatchet's funeral for time reasons, which may have been a bad idea as it explains how Ozai/Justin became fire lord...)

Anonymos: Don't feel bad, Sunshine. I left out a lot of my story... That's why my story was so bad.

Gigi: That's not nearly as bad as my story! I had to condense the three illusions that the Little Match Girl had into one hallucination scene! And I also screwed up with the italics in one sentence... ;_;

Sunshine: I think my story last week broke the record for longest TDAuthor story entry... it was SIXTEEN pages long on MS word!!!

TDI19: Yes, Sunshine, it definitely did! My longest story was at least 3 pages, maybe 4!

Nalyd: Y'all like the challenge? ;)

TDI19: Yeah! This would have been easy as pie for me! :) Anyway, I have the challenge for next week, if that is OK, Nalyd!

Nalyd: Tell me on my talk page.

Tdifan: I don't think I can go on. You see, I'm graduating my school this week and I don't have time to write an 1000 word story. I'll be waaaaaaaaayyyyy too busy. Sorry.

Usitgz: Hmmm... this week will be interesting.

Sunshine: 1,000 words? Is that all? Pshaw. XD

Owenguy101: 1000 words! *faints*

Anonymos: I'm writing my story now, I'm already over 1,000.

Anonymos: Okay, my story is up!

Turnertang: I put up my story!

TDI19: OK. Happy Graduation Tdifan!!! I agree with you Sunshine.... pshaw! Owenguy, it is not that hard..... well, for me! Anonymos and Turnertang, thanks for putting the word count up!! Can everyone do that please!!??

TBTDIF: I can handle this. Word accuracy is my skill.

Zeke: A thousand words? I can't. Sorry, I'm dropping out.

Turnertang: Why isn't anyone doing this challenge?

TDI19: Wait? Are you just not posting a story this week or are you officially leaving? It is only Saturday Turnertang, they have until Wednesday!

Turnertang: I know but everyone is saying "1 thousand words! I can't do it."

Anonymos: Why are so many people dropping out?

Turnertang: I can't believe people would drop out of this awesome camp.

Sunshine: I got my story up! Whoo! *does the Duncan* So, uh, is it any good?

Owenguy101: I didn't want Zekie to go. Please come back.

Sunshine: Did anyone like my story? No one's answering... :(

Gigi: It was fantastic, Sunshine! And the way it's coming out, it looks like your story's gonna leave mine in the dust.

Sunshine: *laughs hystarically* No, seriously. XD

Gigi: I am serious. That was totally great! So much better than mine. *kicks writing skills*

Sunshine: *kicks Gigi kicking writing skills* You could be, I dunno, Stephenie Meyer or something! *awaits everyone laughing at her being a Twilight fan*

Gigi: Ah...the good old days of being a Twilight fan. *nods fondly* I'll take that as a compliment. *huggle* But seriously, your story reminds me of my Heather one in that Playa Des Losers challenge. You do a really good job at bringing the drama. Great minds thing alike, I suppose!

Sunshine: I'm just waiting for a challenge where I can let my insane humor run free! XD

Gigi: Yay, humor! I'm waiting for a challenge that's open ended enough for me to be able to write some nice tragedy. Can you believe it? I actually cried while writing my submission for the last challenge. Aren't I sad? xD

Sunshine: I cried during Trent's song in the first TDA Aftermath... and at the end of the 6teen episode where Nebula and Jude broke up... *sigh*

Gigi: I shed a tear sometimes when I watch the fireworks at Disneyland (I'm goin' there tomorrow! Yay!). Especially Christmas. That song is so pretty. ♥

TDI19: You live near Disneyland?? Have fun 2MORO!

Gigi: About thirty minutes away, which is great for me since I'm a huge Disney nerd even though I'm 13. xD Today we went to go see that "A Christmas Carol" train thing at LA Union Station. The exhibit itself was okay and the train is pretty, but the three hour wait left both me and my mom extremely dissatisfied. Thanks, TDI19!

TDI19: That is so cool!

Gigi: Thank you! I'll think of you all when I'm dropping on Tower of Terror tomorrow. xD

TDI19: LOLZ! Please do!!! XD

TBTDIF: I cry whenever I see part of some SpongeBob episode (Chocolate with Nuts) where this guy is extremely injured. And then he turns out to be a fake...hmm...sounds like Heather.

TDI19: I get the Gophers this week Nalyd! You get the two stories on the Bass. Easy job for you!!

TBTDIF: Now I KNOW that the teams are unfair. Anyway, my story's done. My favorite part is the end, where I altered Noah and Duncan's quote from Total Drama Drama Drama Drama Island.

Gigi: Sigh. I may not be able to get a story up this week. My family's going through some hard times and I'm most likely going to be gone all day today and tomorrow to support my sister and her children. You guys can vote me off if we lose. I'll try the best I can, but if the Gophers lose, you can go ahead and kick me to the curb. Sorry, guys. It's been fun. ;_;

TBTDIF: Does this sound familiar?

Challenge Five
Nalyd: Okay, this week is all about length. The stories each have to be at least.... ONE THOUSAND WORDS!!! That's right! Any stories under 1,000 words will be immediately disqualified from the challenge. TDI/TDA must be written out. But what good is quantity if there is no quality? You can write any type of story, but it must be TDI characters. This will be judged on if you reach 1,000 words, spelling, grammar, and creativity.

Sorreltail18's Story

Sunshine's Story
(1,789 words)

Control your temper, I thought to myself as I clutched one fist tight around the item it held, the other even tighter against bare skin. I thought I felt my nails dig into the skin, felt a few drops of blood leak out of my palm, but I ignored it.

Right now, nothing could distract me.

As the boat continued its course to wherever I was going, I forced myself to move just enough to rewind the tape a few minutes backwards, and then press play. It was more difficult than I thought it would be to perform the simple task. I felt like if I didn’t concentrate, my fingers would pound right through the buttons, cut through the entire VCR, and my arm would break through the other side. The tiny part of my brain that was still thinking rationally tried to explain that I was not nearly strong enough to do that, that the worst I could do was push the button a little too hard and make it stick. Hard as that part of my mind tried, the majority of my mind was overwhelmed by fury, and that made me feel unnaturally powerful.

The video began again, and the familiar face, which I had disliked somewhat before and hated passionately now, moved across the confessional again. He twisted the vote box open, pulling out the papers inside it and replacing them.

“You guys think you’re SO funny.” He mumbled. “Let’s see how you like it when someone messes with your love life…”

Oh, I’d tell him how I liked it, all right…

I clenched my teeth tight, so tight they might have started bleeding in protest, though if they did, I did not notice. I inhaled deeply through my nose, trying desperately not to release the oxygen in a scream as I propelled my fist through the television screen. The rational part of my brain panicked again, telling me desperately that I should not do that, and probably couldn’t. Trying to explain that, even if I did manage to shatter the glass of the screen, it would only result in a multitude of stitches in my arm.

But even that tiny remaining voice was beginning to be consumed by hatred and rage.

The slowing of the boat, then the slight jostle of it as it stopped, temporarily caught my attention. I took a deep breath, released it slowly, and prepared… prepared to act my rear end off for my parents. If I didn’t put up a good façade, they would catch me. Once I was in my room, alone, I could release my rage all I wanted…

I turned to step off the boat, and was promptly surprised.

This definitely wasn’t Quebec City.

The rage in my head turned temporarily to shock. My eyes took in the palm trees, the clear, starry sky, and the huge resort that stood in front of me. The cold night breeze confused me further. It looked like I was somewhere tropical, warm- maybe down in the US, Florida or California or something. But the cool Canadian air brushed my skin, touched at my shoulder-length brown hair. I was definitely still in Canada, perhaps even still in Ontario. All the different facts attacked each other, nothing quite making sense, and the dull burn of anger still in the very back of my mind sure wasn’t helping things.

“Where the heck am I?” I finally asked, not looking to see if anyone was listening. The sound of my voice was strange, as I’d spent most of the boat ride in silence… that is, after my angered ranting had worn itself out, left me exhausted in the back of the old, run-down boat.

“Playa des Losers.” A voice explained. I was pretty sure it was the intern who’d driven me here, but I wasn’t yet coherent enough to turn and check. I would admit, he was a brave man; anyone else might have jumped ship after an hour of my deranged, enraged ranting. “It’s where all the losers from Total Drama Island come. You’ll stay here until the end of the competition.” The name of the place I’d just been eliminated from caused a slight jolt of pain in my chest, and the anger in my head washed forward for a second, like a wave crashing against the shore before pulling back into the ocean once more.

All was silent for a while, and then I heard the motor of the boat start up again, the intern apparently having decided I was not going to speak again. The boat’s engine roared loudly, the sound overwhelming everything for a moment, before the sound faded slowly into the distance. I did not bother to look up and watch the boat leave me behind, though a part of me longed to twist myself around, rush to the end of the shore and wave my arms into the sky, begging the intern to take me back to the competition, to continue my claims that the whole thing was unfair.

But I didn’t. I just stood there in silence, my eyes lingering on the stars.

I was faintly aware that the ten eliminated before me had come out to stare, though I paid them no attention. My mind was strangely blank, though it seemed like a cloud-covered sky; nothing bad was happening at the moment, but the grey clouds flowed over everything, a looming threat.

My eyes slid away from the stars to look at- I struggled to think the words ‘my fellow losers’, I still hadn’t quite comprehended I had lost this contest. As I looked to them, the jolt of pain shot through my heart again, even harder than the last time, and the clouds in my mind began to thunder, threatening to storm.

They were all staring at me, expressions varying from fear to disapproval. And all of them were mumbling among each other. Talking about me.

A flash of lightning blasted through my head, and the rage I had struggled to keep locked up burst free.

“SHUT UP!!!!” I screamed, the fierceness of my voice surprising everyone, myself included. “JUST EVERYONE SHUT UP!!! It was- I was-” my voice began to break, and I felt my joints begin to disappear, threatening to dump me onto the ground at any moment.

I whirled away from the shocked stares and ran.

Plants and twigs smacked against my skin as I tore away from the other losers. I could practically feel the bruises and scratches forming. The starry sky disappeared under the tops of the trees. The ground crunched underneath my feet too quickly, I was running faster than I ever thought I could. But right now, I did not notice any of it. Nothing was important. Nothing could distract me.

I burst through the flora, and found myself near the shore. I thought for a moment I had run in a huge circle, and turned around to see the faces silently criticizing me once more, but saw only more trees and flowers. Good. I had reached another part of the shore.

I stared out into the water for a single moment, then the rage seared through me like I’d been lit on fire.

I screamed wordlessly, kicking a nearby rock as hard as I could. It flung into the air, and then splashed into the water. I picked up another one with my free hand and flung it into the air. It skipped across the water several times, and then sunk.

The anger consumed everything within me, flowing through my veins, consuming my mind, as my wordless shrieks and abuse of random rocks continued. Finally, I kicked a somewhat large rock rather hard, and felt my toe crunch with the impact. The rage was replaced by pain for a brief moment, and was just barely enough for me to shove away the anger and slide to the ground, clutching my foot as I watched the toe bruise and swell.

My heart ached as I moaned and stared up to the sky. As the light of the stars filtered through my eyes, I felt the strangest combination of confusion, pain, and illness. A tiny bit of the anger seeped back into my mind, though the new emotions overshadowed it.

I sighed and let my eyelids droop. It was beginning to hit me now. I had lost.

But then a new thought slipped through the cracks of my mind, tiny and meaningless, and quickly blew itself up to enormous size, clouding out everything else in my crowded brain.

It wasn’t losing that was bothering me.

My hand tightened slightly around the object it was holding, then the fingers uncurled, one by one, to reveal the precious object.

I stared at it, and the hollow eyes of the wooden skull stared back.

And I knew I had truly broken down the dam now.

Everything overwhelmed me very quickly then. His blue eyes; his smirk when he looked at me, like he’d just won a contest’s grand prize; the way he laughed…

No, no, no. As much as I had ignored my voice of reason before, when it was rage that was overwhelming me, I searched desperately for it now, begging vainly for it to snap me out of this, only to find it, too, was overwhelmed by this.

The way his face lit up when I came to see him; that first taste of being bad; that first kiss outside the cabin; the way he placed his arm around me…

His desperate, confused face as he waved goodbye.

Oh, god, I missed him. Though it was irrational, unnatural, impossible in every way, I knew it was true. I didn’t care at all about losing the contest… I cared about losing him.

“Duncan,” I choked out, and my voice sounded horribly strange. It was scared and desperate and pained, breaking several times throughout the single word.

And with that, both my mind and my body gave up the struggle it had been putting up for so long, trying to keep me standing tall and strong. Feeling very small and weak and alone, I let my head fall into my arms as the sobs broke free. Tears streamed down my face, wet and hot, as my chest heaved with my wordless cries and each breath I took slid slow and hard down my windpipe. I cried for a long time, the sleeves of my shirt becoming stained with salt water, and clutched the skull carving closely to my chest as the tears I had held back for a long time exploded out of me.

Somewhere in my hysterics, my body drooped to the sand, and I slipped into the quiet nothingness of sleep.

Thebiggesttdifan's Story
Word Count: 1,731

Ridiculous. Just ridiculous, Duncan thought. Where were they? The wind howled and Duncan adjusted his Mohawk. Ever since the endless fall had begun, Duncan could never get his Mohawk straight. The wind was always messing it up—but not matter how much his parole officer suggested, Duncan never changed his hairstyle.

Although he had never met Noah and Cody except on Total Drama Island, he thought they ought to have come back by now. They had left him a couple hours ago. Although Duncan was not the waiting type, he talked himself into waiting—and since then the thought of leaving had never crossed his mind.

Suddenly, Duncan’s cell phone rang, another thing he had talked himself into doing. It was Noah. “Come here, you idiot!”

“I have no idea where you are.”

“I’m over at Joe’s business. Get over here!” Joe Williamson was the only real connection between Duncan and Noah before this. He was a former classmate of Noah, and Duncan had “met” him once—make that stole his wallet. But Duncan knew where Joe’s business was all right. It was a landmark to the city—selling the best pastries in town.

“Fine, but tell me where you are. You couldn’t stand out in a crowd of people dressed completely different from you.” Duncan hung up the phone.

When Duncan entered Joe’s pastry shop, there were a lot of people crowding around a booth. Suddenly, Duncan felt a vibration in his pocket. He flipped out his phone and saw a text message. “I’m at the kitchen, near the cookie dough.” Apparently Noah had taken Duncan’s statement literally. He sighed, maneuvered around the bustle in the crowd, and flipped open the doors to the pastry kitchen.

“Now tell me what’s going on.” Duncan stared angrily at Noah, who was casually leaning against the kitchen counter.

Quietly, but keeping his voice dripping with his trademark sarcasm, Noah said something that changed Duncan’s mood completely. “Cody’s been murdered.” Duncan shifted. Sure, he had heard of murders. He had even experienced the feeling of someone being murdered when his mom had been hit by a rock thrown at her in the head a couple years ago. But this…who would want to murder a guy who was useless unless you wanted to learn how to be a geek?

“M-murdered?”

“Sorry to break it to you, but yeah. I usually wouldn’t be feeling sympathy for you, but right now I know how you feel.” There was a faraway look in his eyes.

“Wait—what? I was just sad that he was murdered. How long has it been?”

“If it had happened earlier, do you think I would have let you know?” Noah sighed. Duncan had no answer. “You want to go see the scene of crime?”

“Sure.” So Noah got up and led him out of the kitchen and near the hubbub of people. In between was scariness—something Duncan hadn’t seen since the days of Total Drama Island—Cody, sitting there, with his arm over his chest. Blood lay on his ankle, and it seemed to be leaking into his socks. “Wow. Shouldn’t we call someone? I couldn’t have been the only person you let me know.”

“Don’t worry,” Noah grinned wickedly as he eyed his BlackBerry. “I got another person underway.”

Leshawna Hamilton sat at her desk, fingering through packets of sugar. “Girl, you know I hate this kind of coffee,” she said to her assistant. “So why in the dang world did you get me it?” Suddenly her phone rang. She fumbled for it but got it on the third ring. “Noah Kolaski,” she muttered. “Do I know him?” But Leshawna rolled her eyes and put the phone to her ear anyway. “Leshawna Hamilton, the head of Muskoka police, what do you want?”

“There’s been a nearby murder. You heard of Joe Williamson?” Noah grinned.

“Is he the guy who was murdered or something?”

“No, but his pastry shop is the location of the murder.”

“Oh. THAT Joe Williamson. So, who was murdered?”

“Cody Ganatik.”

Leshawna remembered instantly where everyone had come from. “Wait—so you’re Noah and he’s Co—There is no way I am talking to someone I met sixteen years ago. So Cody was murdered?”

“Yeah. Joe’s pastry shop—come here. You know where it is, right?”

“Right. Bye.” Leshawna hung up, and then Noah did too. Duncan was enraged. “You called a police officer?”

“Well, duh,” Noah said. “Who would you call first if your boy—best friend had been murdered?”

“Courtney.” But they were interrupted as a police car pulled up. “I gotta hide!” Duncan panicked. “That police officer might recognize me!”

Leshawna cleared her throat. “So there’s been a murder here?” The crowd chanted in approval. “Okay. Are there any eyewitnesses?”

A girl spoke up. “I’m a worker here, and I was just working here when Cody came in. I honestly can’t say I know exactly who killed Cody, but he looked about thirty, maybe thirty-two, and he had green hair. I couldn’t tell what style it was, though.” Everyone eyed Duncan.

“Great, great. What’s your name?” Leshawna wrote something down.

“Um…Rachel Wilson.”

Rachel Wilson. Where had Duncan heard that name before?

“Great, we’ll remember to put you as the witness for the trial. Get him in our car. Rachel, too.” Rachel walked in, while two security guards grabbed Duncan, who at that moment was entirely clueless. “What? Why am I—“

But Duncan was in the police car, and soon he was driven to a jail. Noah watched with fear and anger. He knew that Rachel Wilson from somewhere. But the question was—where?

Duncan cried. Really cried. He cried so hard, his Mohawk lost a bit of its dye. Duncan shifted it back and grumbled. He thought in rage. Murdering somebody? BS. Although Duncan had stolen stuff before, he never actually thought of murdering anybody. And then an emotional thought crawled through his head: ‘’I wish Mom were here.’’

After Duncan’s mother had died from getting her head hit by a rock, Duncan was left with his father, who thought that he was a criminal as much as his parole officer did, his parole officer, and…that was it. Finally, Duncan escaped to a small town, where somehow the atmosphere changed him. He wasn’t a criminal anymore. He had been framed.

Noah sat back in stress. He had ordered himself a chocolate croissant, but that didn’t help him feel any better except hunger-wise. He knew there was nothing he could do except provide useful information. He was near giving up…

“Girl, I STILL hate this coffee! Can’t you get me the right thing?” Noah awoke to the sound of Leshawna. He realized he must’ve fallen asleep at the pastry shop. “You’re still here?” he asked Leshawna.

“Well, yeah.” Leshawna rolled her eyes. “I need to investigate this place!”

“And…you brought your assistant.”

“Look, I stayed here overnight too. I feel like you’re onto something. You can be a w—“

“I didn’t see anything! I can’t be a witness.”

Leshawna snickered. “Well…how would you feel about THIS?” She handed him a paper.

“Well, I can go with it, I guess…”

“Attention! We are here today to announce…The People of Muskoka vs. Duncan D. Nelson.” A judge struck his gavel as Duncan and Noah sat on one side of the room. A hired lawyer, Fiona Comaka, sat on the other side of the room. The jury blinked simultaneously. “Are there any opening statements?”

Fiona started out. It was a good one, but Noah had planned a good one as well. He’s smart, all right, thought Duncan. Good with strategy, too.

“I would like to call my first witness, Joe Williamson,” said Fiona robotically. Duncan gasped, but Noah tapped his pocket. “They took away my BlackBerry,” Noah whispered, “but they can’t take away my knowledge.”

“Your knowledge is in your pocket?” Duncan asked. But there was an interruption as Fiona said, “Your witness.” Noah went up to question him.

“So, you are the owner of the pastry shop of the scene of crime?”

“Yes.”

“Did you see who killed Cody?”

“Ummm…no, but I heard him scream.”

“So you do not know who killed Cody?”

“No.”

“Okay then.” Noah signaled to Duncan: “We’ve won round one.” He went back to his seat.

“I call…Matt Tollin to the stand,” said Fiona next. She questioned him, but he didn’t seem to know much. Noah, on the other hand, he shot down right away. “We’re in jeopardy,” whispered Duncan. “The jury is sure to call me guilty!”

“Hold on,” Noah grinned. “I’ve been waiting for this.” Duncan admired Noah. He always had a plan for everything.

“The Prosecution rests, Your Honor,” Fiona said. Noah and Duncan both knew that was a dumb move. Because Fiona had missed her most important witness—the one who Noah and Duncan were about to call.

“I call Rachel Wilson to the stand.” Fiona’s eyes widened in bewilderment. Rachel shot her a glance as she slumped in.

“So you say you saw a guy with green hair, but you couldn’t tell what style it was, kill Cody.”

“Yes.”

“Are you aware that the gun you had in Joe’s pastry shop was about to reload?”

“Yes.”

“So while you were putting bullets in the gun, you should’ve caught his hairstyle—IF he had actually been in the store.

“Hey!” Rachel yelled accusingly. “Are you saying that I killed Cody?”

“Yes, yes I am. Your witness, Fiona.” But Fiona was too stunned to say anything.

“O…kay then,” said the judge. “Any more witnesses?”

“No. The Defense rests, your honor.”

“Any closing statements?”

Noah gave his, but Fiona was still stunned.

“All…right. Has the jury reached a verdict?”

“Yes. We say that Duncan Wilson is, in fact, not guilty of murdering Cody,” said the Head of the jury. “Rachel Wilson is.”

“Wow, that was great!” shouted Duncan as he and Noah were on their way out.

“Love to see that happen. You must feel like a winner now, huh? More of a man.” Noah smiled.

“Not enough of a man to take your head off, geek.” Duncan laughed.

EPILOUGE

Rachel confessed that she had killed Cody, and had framed Duncan for it. Her real name is Heather. When she came across an actress’s name—Rachel Wilson—she used it as her name so people wouldn’t know who she was.

WORD COUNT: 1756 words!

There were only seven campers left standing in Total Drama Island. Chris had thought and thought about what he wanted to do for a challenge. He decided he would bring back five of the original challenges, one camper would win each one, and one would win invincibility every time, which would bring it down to two. The five who won invincibility would vote one of the two out.

The seven remaining finalists sat in the cafeteria as Chef Hatchet put a pile of slop on each of their plates.

“Do we really have to eat this?” Gwen moaned.

“Eww! This is not going to help my diet!” Heather whined.

“I don’t do carbs,” Lindsay retorted, “They’re bad for my figure.”

“YOU WILL EAT IT,” Chef ordered, “AND YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!” The three girls cringed.

“Um, excuse me,” Duncan interrupted, “I’m on a strict “no crud” diet.”

“DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY, SOLDIER!!” Chef instructed Duncan, “NOW YOU THREE LITTLE SISSY GIRLS, SAY ‘THANK YOU, MASTER CHIEF HATCHET!!!”

“Thank you, Master Chief Hatchet, sir!” The three girls cringed.

“Your welcome, privates!” Chef replied.

“Done, Chief Hatchet,” Duncan got up off of the floor. Chef glared at him, and Duncan sighed, “’’Master’’ Chief Hatchet.”

“MUCH BETTER, CADET!!!” Chef shouted, as the four sat down, and they other four went to get their “food.”

Chef slammed some glop onto Cody’s plate.

“Um, Master Chief Hatchet?” Cody quivered, “I think my food just moved…”

“THAT JUST MEANS IT FRESH!!” Chef shoved Cody into his seat, as DJ went to get his food.

“Here you go,” Chef said, slamming goop onto his plate, “TAKE THIS AND EAT IT!”

“Yes, sir!” DJ obediently ran over to his seat.

“Excuse me!” Leshawna piped up.

“WHAT?!?!!” Chef whirled around, spatula and whisk in hand, and they almost smacked Leshawna in the forehead.

“Oh! I know you are not waving your kitchen utensils in my face!” Leshawna sassed back. Soon, Chef and Leshawna got into an all out argument. All the while, Chef was waving his kitchen utensils in her face.

“Good morning, campers!” Chris burst into the cafeteria, with a bullhorn. He walked right over to Leshawna and Chef, and blew the bullhorn in her face.

“Oh! I know you are not waving your bullhorn in my-“ Leshawna was cut off by the bullhorn again.

“I thought hard about the challenge for today, and we’re going to recreate five previous challenges, the winner of each one will win invincibility, which will bring us down to two without invincibility. The five who won the challenges will vote on who they want to leave. First challenge is dodge ball!” Chris stated.

“Oh, no!” Lindsay gasped, “I still have bruises from the last time we did that! And I STILL don’t know how to play!”

“There’s a shock…” Heather muttered.

“As I was saying,” Chris continued, “There will be no teams, and it will be every man for himself,” He could feel the stares from the girls, “Or herself,” He quickly added, “Everyone will get one dodge ball, if you’re hit your out. If you catch a ball, the person who threw it is out. You can use your dodge ball to block another one, but if it gets knocked out of your hands, then you’re out.”

“Wait, what?” Lindsay was being her usual ditzy self. Chris handed everyone a dodge ball.

“What do I do with this?” Lindsay asked.

“One, two, three GO!” Chris started the game. Immediately everyone turned to Lindsay and threw dodge balls at her.

“Your going down, Leshawna!” Duncan shouted, and he was about to throw his dodge ball at her, but Gwen threw one at him first. Heather whirled around to thrust a dodge ball at Gwen, but Leshawna hit her first. DJ didn’t especially want to hit anyone, but he brought himself to throw a dodge ball at Cody.

“Hey, Cody!” Gwen gave him a flirtatious wave to distract him, and she threw a dodge ball at him. Bu, Leshawna threw a dodge ball at Gwen, before she could hit her.

“Leshawna is the first one to win invincibility!” Chris exclaimed, as he motioned her to come with him, “She no longer has to participate in any challenges,” Leshawna heaved a sigh of relief, “As for the rest of you, let’s go see Chef Hatchet for out next challenge.”

“ATTEN-TION!!!” Chef commanded, “AT EASE!! If you remember my boot camp was the best challenge anyone on this worthless planet had seen, so were recreating it. YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?!!” Even Duncan looked scared.

“We’ve shortened it down to one challenge,” Chris explained.

“DON’T INTERRUPT MASTER CHIEF HATCHET!!” Chef exploded, “WE’RE GONNA HANG YOU UPSIDE DOWN AGAIN!!” Chris and Chef Hatchet forced everyone to climb up onto the tree and hang upside down.

“NOW, GO!!!” Chef yelled.

“Um, I have problems with stuff like this,” Cody piped up.

“QUIET, SOLDIER!” Chef shouted.

“I tend to get a little… a little… dizz… dizz… dizzy…” Cody plummeted off of the branch.

“That’s it!” Heather protested, “I’m done,” She jumped off of the branch.

“I can hang here forever!” DJ exclaimed.

“I’ll bet…” Gwen muttered, then fell.

Lindsay was listening to music, “Oh, I love this song!” She started waving her arms and legs and she fell off of the branch, but her skirt snagged onto a branch.

“Technically, she’s still in the game,” Chris stated, as Duncan fell.

Lindsay was still kicking her legs, and she accidentally kicked DJ in the nose and grabbed onto it and fell.

“LINDSAY WINS!!” Chef boomed, “I’d fight a war with you any day, soldier.”

“Um, sounds… great!” Lindsay smiled, as she joined Chris and Leshawna.

“Moving along,” Chris signaled for the non-invincible campers to follow him, “Our next challenge is the cook off. You each will make me an item of food. I will judge each one and the best one wins. You can use whatever you find in the kitchen.” There was a mad dash for the food, and each person had ingredients in hand.

“What are you going to make, Gwen?” Cody asked.

“None of your business,” Gwen retorted.

“I can dig that. I’m down with that, yo,” Cody replied as Gwen stared at him with a blank expression on her face.

“I know what I’m gonna make,” DJ said, triumphantly.

“Me too,” Duncan agreed and the two both went to cook their meals. Heather also began her meal.

“You know, Gwen,” Cody was trying to give her some advice, “If you hold the chicken like that, you’ll burn it.”

“I don’t need your help, dork,” Gwen turned away from Cody. She also burnt her chicken.

“Told you,” Cody said.

“Shut it!” Gwen shouted and stormed out of the kitchen.

“Looks like Gwen loses,” Chris stated, “Time up!” The contestants brought out their meals; Cody had nothing to show for himself, unlike Duncan, DJ and Heather. Chris tasted their food and made a decision, “The winner is DJ!” DJ ran over to where Leshawna and Lindsay were, as Chris signaled the other four to come with him.

“There are only two more chances to win invincibility, so look alive!” Chris stated, “We are now going to recreate our first challenge ever, cliff diving!” The four moaned.

“The only difference is there is no danger zone, it’s all safe!” Chris exclaimed and some faces brightened up knowing there would be less chance of death, “It’s now a target, and the one who hits the closest to the center is the winner!” First Cody started running off the edge, and tripped, and hit a zone on the edge.

“Smooth…” Gwen said, sarcastically, preparing to jump. She ran off and came close to the center, and was the candidate to win. Heather jumped and she snagged on a rock, sort of like Lindsay on the tree, and didn’t even get into the water. Duncan jumped last and he hit the center exactly. He climbed out of the lake and went over to Leshawna, Lindsay and DJ.

“Heather, Gwen and Cody, only one of the three of you can win this last challenge, and only one of you can get invincibility,” Chris stated, “So here’s the challenge… You have to redo the bike race. We still have all of your bikes from the first one, so here,” He gave them their bikes, and they went to the starting line, “On your mark, get set, GO!” The three took off. Gwen was leading, with Cody right behind and Heather trailing in last, but then, Heather pushed a button on her bike and sped past Cody and caught up to Gwen. Heather got slightly ahead of her and silently dropped a nail on the track and Gwen’s tire popped. Heather crossed the finish line for invincibility.

“All right, Heather, DJ, Duncan, Leshawna and Lindsay, you can decide on who goes home,” Chris stated. The group of five broke up in two groups, Heather and Lindsay in one, and Leshawna and Duncan in the other. Heather and Lindsay wanted to vote for Gwen, and Leshawna and Duncan wanted Cody gone. DJ was in the middle and he had to choose. Heather and Duncan both tried to manipulate him, Heather saying she was a threat, and Duncan protesting that he was too annoying to be kept around. DJ did seem to see logic in both sides of the argument, but before he could say whom he supported, it was time to vote.

“Alright campers,” Chris started the ceremony, “You know the drill, if you don’t get a marshmallow, go down the Dock of Shame, board the Boat of Losers and leave. Now for the marshmallows, all invincibility winners get your marshmallows,” The five got their marshmallows, “Gwen and Cody, this marshmallow will go to one of you,” He held up the marshmallow, “Now I will read the votes: One for Gwen… One for Cody… One for Gwen… One for Cody. This last vote will decide it all,” Cody and Gwen held their breath as he pulled the final vote out of the box, “The final vote is for…. Chef Hatchet?!” Chris was surprised, but Chef was even more so, “Um, since there’s no way for a tie-breaker, it looks like, Chef Hatchet is out…”

“THIS ISN’T THE LAST YOU’LL HEAR FROM ME SOLDIERS!!!” Chef screamed as he trudged down the Dock of Shame and onto the Boat of Losers. The boat left the dock with Chef on board.

“That was sort of… unexpected…” Chris said, still in shock, “Join us next time on Total… Drama… Island!”

The All Boys TDI Sleep Over

“Welcome to my house!” Geoff said excitedly to his TDI friends because today was the day he was having his only boys sleepover with his friends “Nice place you got here.” Duncan commented as he walked into Geoff’s house with his bag “Wow, this is a big house.” DJ said as he came into the house “Thanks guys. You can put your stuff in the in my bedroom. Geoff replied as Duncan and DJ started to walk up the stairs “Are these all your guests?” Geoff’s Mom asked as she walked down the stairs “No, there are still eight more to come.” Geoff replied, “Okay then. I’m going out to shop. I’ll be back in the by ten o’clock.” Geoff’s Mom said as she walked out of the house “See you later.” Geoff said as three more cars pulled up “Gosh! This is a nice place!” Harold said as he went up the stairs “Great place eh.” said Ezekiel as he walked into the room “Wow man, this is a great place. I bet it has a lot of food too.” Owen said “Good to see you guys. Just put your stuff in my room.” Geoff said as another three cars pulled up “Hey Geoff. What’s up?” Tyler asked as he walked in “Nothing much. Just go up into my room and you can wait with the other contestants.” Geoff replied, “Cool.” Tyler said as he walked away “Great place you got here.” Trent said as he walked in with Justin “Hey guys. Just head up to my room.” Geoff said as he saw the last two cars come up “Hey Geoff. Were are the ladies?” Cody asked, “This is a all guys sleep over.” Geoff replied, “Okay then.” Cody said disappointedly as he headed up the stairs “Welcome Noah. You’re the last guy.” Geoff said as Noah walked into the house “Lucky me.” Noah said sarcastically as he went up stairs. Later in Geoff’s room they were deciding what to do. “I say we play some football!” Tyler yelled “No way! We should play video games!” Cody yelled back “Okay first we’ll play football then we’ll play some vide games.” Geoff compromised as they headed to the backyard “Okay I’ll be a captain and Geoff because it’s his house.” Tyler said, “You pick first.” Geoff insisted, “I’ll take Duncan.” Tyler decided, “I’ll take DJ.” Geoff said, “Okay I’ll take Trent and I guess Owen.” “Woo-hoo!” Owen cheered as he ran over to Tyler’s side “I guess I’ll take Justin and Cody.” Geoff said, “Good pick.” Cody said as went to Geoff’s side “I’ll take Ezekiel.” Tyler decided, “I guess I’ll take Noah.” Geoff aid “Gosh! Why am I always last?” Harold asked as he went to Tyler’s side “You start out since we have an extra player.” Tyler said as Geoff grabbed the football “I’m open!” Cody yelled as he ran into a free spot “I’m not.” Noah replied as he walked out of the field and began to read “Heads up Cody!” Geoff yelled as he threw the ball and it hit Cody but he still caught it “I caught it? I mean I caught it!” Cody cheered “Hut Hike!” Geoff yelled as everyone started to run “This is to you DJ!” Geoff yelled as he threw the ball to DJ really hard but instead it hit Harold and he fell to the ground unconscious “I think we should call 911.” Trent said as Geoff ran inside as and grabbed the phone and came back out “They said they would be here as soon as possible.” Geoff reported, “Maybe we should play video games.” Tyler said “Good choice.” said Justin as they walked back inside “Should we play Super Smash Bros are Mario Kart?” Cody asked, “Lets play Mario Kart. It sounds less dangerous.” DJ said as Cody put in the game. They played for hours and hours. “So what do you girls want to do?” Leshawna asked because the girls were also have a sleep over “Lets go sneak in to the boys sleep over and ruin it and take embarrassing pictures.” Izzy said, “That’s not a bad idea.” Gwen said, “I agree with Izzy.” Beth said “Me too. Which one is Izzy?” Lindsay asked “Come on.” Leshawna said as they went to Geoff’s house “I win again!” Cody cheered because he just beat Duncan, Tyler, and Trent at Mario Kart “I don’t care!” Duncan yelled as he threw the control but it hit the TV and it fell on Justin “I’ll get the phone again.” Geoff said as he grabbed the phone “I wonder why there are ambulances here?” Beth asked “I’m leaving.” Heather said as she walked away “Okay.” Gwen said as she rang the doorbell “Who is it?” Geoff asked as he opened the door “I’m the pizza man.” Gwen said because she had a mustache on and a pizza box “Let me go grab some money.” Geoff said as he ran into the house “Now! Gwen commanded as the other ten girls and Gwen ran into the house “Here you go.” Geoff said as he gave the money to the pizza guy “You know you look a little different form the first time I saw you.” Geoff commented because as the girls went into the house the real pizza man just came “I just got here.” said the pizza man as he grabbed the money and ran away “That was weir said Geoff as he went back to his room “Okay girls, we have to be very quiet.” Leshawna said as Lindsay bumped into the wall and knocked over a bunch of stuff “Did you hear that?” Owen asked as he grabbed his fifth slice of pizza “I think its robbers.” Duncan said “I’ll take them down.” Geoff said as he grabbed a baseball bat and ran down stairs “There they are!” Geoff yelled as he saw the girls dressed as robbers “Uh-oh.” Gwen said as she started to run “Take this!” Geoff said as he swung the baseball bat and hit Gwen “Lets get out of here!” Beth said as all the girls ran away except for Gwen because she was unconscious “This robber looks familiar.” Geoff said, as he took off the mask “Oh great it’s Gwen.” Geoff said as he grabbed the phone and dialed 911 “The robbers were just the girls trying to sneaking but I hit Gwen unconscious.” Geoff said as he walked back into the room “You did what?” Trent yelled as he stood up “Come down.” Geoff said “No way! You hit my girl!” Trent yelled as he ran at Geoff but Geoff dodged it and he hit Ezekiel and they both flew out the window “It’s a good thing I had the phone with me.” Geoff aid as he called 911 for the fourth time “Maybe we should go to sleep.” Geoff said “Good idea. This way no one can get hurt.” DJ said as he went into his sleeping bag “I guess.” Duncan said as he whispered something to Cody, Tyler, and Geoff before he got into his sleeping bag “Good night everyone.” Geoff said as he turned off the lights. Later the boys woke up at 9:30 “Okay lets pull a prank on Owen or Noah.” Duncan said “Owen.” Geoff, Tyler, and Cody said as they went down the stairs and boiled some water to make it really hot and then went back up the stairs “Okay put Owens’s hand into this.” Duncan said as he handed Cody the cup of really hot water “Okay.” Cody replied as he tripped and the water spilled on Owens’s face “It burns!” Owen screamed as he woke up “Don’t worry I have the phone.” Geoff said, “No more pranks.” Tyler said “No way. We still have to pull one on the girls.” Duncan said as he pulled out a firecracker “We are going to light this and fire it into the girls room.” Duncan said, “This will be fun.” Geoff said as they lit the firecracker “Three, two, one!” Cody yelled as the firecracker went off and woke everyone up “Look out!” Leshawna yelled as the firecracker crashed threw the window and hit Beth and then blew up “That’s got to hurt.” Leshawna said as she saw Beth unconscious “I’ll go grab a phone.” Leshawna said as she left the room “Good job guys!” Duncan said proudly “What happened?” DJ asked “Nothing.” Cody replied, “We are all just going to sleep.” Geoff said as he turned off the lights and in the morning the boys came down stairs “What happened to some of your friends?” Geoff’s Mom asked, “They left at night.” Geoff replied, “Well everyone moms are here.” Geoff’s Mom said “See you guys later.” Duncan said as he left “Bye Geoff.” Tyler said as he left “I had a great time.” Cody said as he left “I have to say it was pretty fun.” DJ said as he left “I finished a lot of books.” Noah said as he left “So was this an exciting sleep over?” Geoff’s Mom asked as she shut the door “It was an average sleep over.” Geoff replied
