"Last time on Total Drama Island." The camera turned on to show Chris standing on the dock going over what happened the last two episodes. "24 campers arrived and learned that they'll be spending the next eight weeks at a crusty old summer camp. The campers were faced with their first challenge, jumping off a cliff into shark-infested waters. And while most campers took the plunge, a few were forced to wear the dreaded chicken hat. At the campfire ceremony, it all came down to two campers. Courtney has experience as a C.I.T. in summer camp, but refused to jump. And Ezekiel managed to tick off every female contestant at the camp with his sexist comments about women. In the end, the first camper voted off Total Drama Island was Ezekiel, proving that homeschooling and reality TV don't really mix. Who will be voted off this week in the most dramatic campfire ceremony yet? Find out tonight on Total. Drama. Island!"
A yawn was heard coming from the boy's side of the Killer Bass cabin. While most of the boys were sound asleep and snoring, there was one boy who was waking up before everyone else. "Huh…what time is it?" Lincoln yawned out as he looked at his watch. 6 AM. Looking around, Lincoln saw that everyone else in his cabin was still asleep. "Guess I'm the first one up again."
CONFESSIONAL – LINCOLN
"I've always been a bit of an early riser." Lincoln explained with a small shrug. "What can I say, gotta be the first to get the hot water back home."
Making sure not to wake up his teammates, Lincoln carefully climbed off the bunk bed he was sharing with Harold with Lincoln having the top bunk. Grabbing a change of clothes, a towel, and some soap and shampoo he packed, Lincoln headed outside the cabin to head over the communal bathrooms to take a nice hot morning shower.
The bathrooms…were about what Lincoln expected considering how the rest of the summer camp was. But beggars can't be choosers so Lincoln didn't voice any complaints about the bathrooms conditions and just took off his cloths and headed into the shower.
Lincoln took his usual shower time of 10 minutes before turning the water off and heading out with his body wrapped around a towel. After drying off, Lincoln came out of the bathroom area wearing his day cloths and ready to take on whatever challenge his team would be given today. It's been three days since everyone first came to Camp Wawanakwa and since his team voted off Ezekial.
Lincoln headed over to the beach, deciding to spend the time hanging around the lake the island was on before everyone else woke up and they all ate breakfast. Today, Lincoln was determined for him and his team to come out on top.
Once he was on the dock, the white head just decided to put his hands in his pocket and stare out into the lake in silence. It was a pretty nice sight actually. The sun was still rising in the guy with the rays hitting against the lake making it sparkle a little bit. Lincoln couldn't help but smile a little at the sight as he heard the sound of what he thought was a bag on the beach.
Looking, to the left side of the beach Lincoln smiled a bit more when he saw none other then Dawn on the beach holding a trash bag and picking up some of the junk that littered the beach and putting it into the bag. "Hey Dawn!"
The mysterious girl put a plastic into the bag as she turned around to see Lincoln approaching her from the dock. The smile came to her face as she stood up while still holding the bag and looked up at Lincoln. "Good morning Lincoln, already up I see." Dawn greeted the white head boy who nodded in response. "Your aura is looking rather bright this morning as well."
"Thanks! Just getting myself hyped up for the next challenge is all!" Lincoln said as he did a few quick jumping jacks for emphasize. After that night at camp where Dawn told Lincoln not to put everything on himself, the white head has been trying to take those worlds to heart. So the Loud boy's been more determined then ever to for not just him, but his team to win the next challenge and not lose someone else. "So, what are you doing? Didn't know you were an early riser; I haven't seen you up this early before."
"That's because I've spent all my mornings here on the beach." Dawn as she leaned down to pick up a piece of plastic and put it into her trash bag. "I've just seen all the trash that litters this piece of mother earths creation and I just couldn't stand for it. I can't count the number of gulls and other animals that I've seen become victims of this filth."
"Yeah I've noticed that to…" Lincoln said as he put a hand to his chin. Dawn was certainly right about the seagulls as it seemed that every single gull he saw around her always had a pop ring around its neck. Lincoln looked around more and was now just started to notice how much trash littered the beach. He knew this place was crappy, heck Chris said so himself, but this was just something else. Lincoln then smiled as a light bulb went of in his head as he looked to Dawn again. "Hey here's an idea, how about you give me a trash bag and we can clean up the beach together? I don't mind lending a hand, I got two after all."
Dawn stared at Lincoln for a moment, examining his aura, before smiling and pulling another trash bag out of her pocket and handing it to the white head. "Sure! I'd really appreciate it." Dawn said to Lincoln in a grateful tone as Lincoln unfolded and opened up the bag. "How about I handle this part of the beach and you handle the right side of the beach?"
"Sounds good!" Lincoln said as he tossed the bag over his shoulder. "Meet up when breakfast is ready?" Dawn nodded in response as Lincoln head in the opposite direction…missing a faint blush appear on Dawn's face.
CONFESSIONAL – DAWN
"I've really liked getting to know Lincoln over these past few days." Dawn said to the camera with a smile on her face. "He has such a sweet and gentle aura that you don't see a lot of now-a-days. He still has a lot on insecurity's but I guess that's understandable. Especially considering his girlfriend broke up with him just before the show started. Maybe I'll be able to help him. He deserves someone who's truly there for him."
ONE HOUR LATER
"I think we made some good progress on the beach." Lincoln said to Dawn as the two walked next to each other to where all the now awake campers were. The two were busy at work picking up all the trash across the beach and only stopped when they heard the sounds an airhorn going off. No doubt Chris's wake up call to everyone. "Same time tomorrow?"
"Yes of course." Dawn said as she put a hand on Lincoln's shoulder. "Thanks so much for your help Lincoln, I'm sure the Earth Mother will reward you plenty of karma points for this."
Lincoln gave a toothy smile to Dawn as they finally meet up with their teammates. While Eva was currently growling at Cody for almost touching her MP3 player, most of the Killer Bass and even some of the Gophers were looking at the two with raised brows. "How long have you to been up?" DJ asked the two next to him.
"Since 6 AM." Lincoln told the two causing most of the campers to look at them in surprise. While the Bass were aware of Lincoln being an early bird, they were still a bit surprised to hear just how long Lincoln has been up. And Dawn for that matter as this was the first time they found out that she woke up early.
"Morning!" Greeting all the campers was Chris who had his usual smile on his face and wearing shorts. "Hope you slept well."
"Hi, Chris." Heather greeted the host with light black-haired girl being one of the few to not be drowsy. "You look really buff in those shorts."
"I know." Chris nodded before looking at his watch. "I hope you're all ready because your next challenge begins in exactly…one minute!"
Everyone's eyes widened a bit at Chris's words with Owen in particular speaking up with a bit of concern. "Oh, excuse me." Owen raised his hand to get Chris's attention. "I don't know if that's enough time to eat breakfast."
"Oh, you'll get breakfast, Owen." Chris told the big guy with a bit of a grin on his face. "Right after you complete your twenty kilometers run around the lake!"
This didn't go well with some of the campers. Especially Eva as she glared at Chris. "Oh, so you're funny now?" Eva growled out causing DJ, Courtney, and Lincoln to hold her back. "You know what I think would be funny?"
"Eva!" Courtney whispered harshly to the athlete. "Try to control your temper."
Eva only glared harsher at Chris and yelled. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?!"
"A little." Chris nodded before pointing forward. "You have thirty seconds."
CONFESSIONAL – COURTNEY
"Okay, that girl Eva has got to get a handle on her temper." Courtney said as she began listing the things Eva had done over the past three days. "She's only been here three days and she's already thrown her suitcase out a window and broken the lock on one of the bathroom doors."
"Okay, runners!" Chris called out to as all the Gophers and Bass were lined up ready to start their long run. "On your marks... get set... go!" When Chris gave the word, all the campers started their run across the lake.
As the run went on, many of the campers kept up the pace with running, but there were a few that decided to walk to save their energy such as Harold, Katie and Sadie, Gwen, and Heather. Although Heather's reason was more so because of her shoes. Some of the ones struggling the most with the run were Leshawna and Owen. All the way Chris drove by them on a motorbike and yelled through a megaphone.
After about two hours, many of the campers could be seen in the main lodge. Some looking completely exhausted, others such as Eva looking like they hardly broke a sweat. And thankfully Chris was handing out water bottle to everyone. Just the door was busted open with Owen coming in carrying an unconscious Noah. "Clear a table! Stat!" Owen yelled as he rushed to put Noah on a table.
"Oh…Oh boy…" A completely exhausted Leshawna come in right after Noah. "We made it…" And with the arrival of Leshawna, all the Screaming Gophers were now in the lodge.
A few seconds after Leshawna, Harold came into the lodge clenching his chest and taking rapid breaths and twitching. "What took you so long?" Courtney yelled at the ginger as she walked up and glared at him. "We just lost the challenge!"
As Owen was pressing his hands down against Noah's chest repeatedly, Gwen spoke up after realizing something. "Hey, wait a minute. If they lost, that means we won the challenge!" At the goth's words, the Gophers quickly started cheering.
"Whoa there! Hold your horses, guys." Chris spoke up, ceasing the Gophers cheering. "That wasn't the challenge!"
"What did he just say?" Gwen's mood quickly took a 180. If that wasn't the challenged then what the heck was?! Did she just run around the whole lack for nothing?!
"Who's hungry!?" Chris then pulled back a certain away revealing something that made most of the camper's eyes sparkling and have drool came from their mouths. A buffet table completely stacked with delicious looking and smelling food.
CONFESSIONAL – GWEN
"After a whole week of brown sludge, I almost cried when I saw that buffet." Gwen admitted.
CONFESSIONAL – OWEN
"And then I saw it, the buffet table. It was beautiful." Owen said with a voice that showed he was probably the happiest person in the world right now. "There was turkey and Nanamo bars and baked beans and maple syrup! Ha…can I have a minute…" Owen then quickly started to cry effeminately.
CONFESSIONAL – LINCOLN
Lincoln was seen rubbing his chin with a contemplating look on his face. "Hmmmm…yeah. Something about this is fishy." Lincoln said as he narrowed his eyes at the camera. "Everyone else was digging in and eating about as much as they could. Except for Dawn, she just went for the fruits and veggies…and so did I. Whatever Chris is planning I'm not falling for it."
"Uuuuugh…" Before anyone knew it, the entire buffet was completely eaten. Nearly everyone was groaning and holding their completely stuffed stomachs.
Two exceptions being Lincoln and Dawn who were sitting next to each other on the table. "So, this is somehow part of Chris's plan?" Lincoln asked Dawn who nodded in response.
"Yep, his aura reads like an open book. This is part of the challenge today." Dawn explained to Lincoln as he finishing up his plate of fruits and veggies. "And even if it wasn't, I'm a vegan. I would never even dream of eating another animal."
"Ok campers!" Chris called to everyone, making them wince as he used the megaphone. "Time for part two of your challenge!"
"I thought eating was the second part." Owen groaned with his mouth full and food staining his face.
"What more do you want from us?" Gwen said as she held her stomach.
"Weird goth girl is right." Heather admitted while groaning herself. "Haven't we been through enough?"
"Um…Let me think about that…No!" Chris yelled with a giant smirk on his face. "It's time for…The Awake-a-thon!"
Lincoln and Dawn looked to each other and gave small smirks. Looks like they called it. "The what-a-thon?" Owen asked, not knowing what Chris was talking about.
"Don't worry! This is an easy one!" Chris began explaining the details of the challenge to everyone while stilling talking through the megaphone. "The team with the last camper standing wins invincibility!"
"So, what you're saying is the 20k run and the turkey eating frenzy were part of your evil plan to make it harder for us to stay awake?" Gwen asked, finally understanding what the actually challenge of the day was.
"That's right, Gwen!" Chris happily admitted.
"Man, he's good." Gwen had to say, the host was certainly good at planning.
"Alright campers, to the camp fire pit!" Chris instructed everyone as he started to leave the main lodge. "Move, move, move!"
"So," Trent walked up to Gwen while holding his stomach. "How long do you think it'll be before everyone's out cold?"
Before Gwen could answer Dawn and Lincoln passed by with the latter speaking up. "Between 12 hours and four days." The light blond told the two Screaming Gophers members casually.
At that moment, Owen passed by groaning loudly with some drool escaping from his mouth. "Yeah…no way anyone's lasting that long." Gwen shook her head with Trent soon doing the same.
12 HOURS LATER
All 23 campers were all hanging around the camp fire site. Nearly all of them looking completely exhausted with bags under their eyes. Despite not falling for the feast, Lincoln was looking quite tired himself as he, and quite a few others, let out a very loud yawn and doing their best not to fall asleep. The only that didn't seem tired was Dawn as she sat on a stump in lotus position. The mysterious girl being the only one to lack bags on their eyes.
"We're now twelve hours." Chris's voice softly spoke up as the camera gave a view of all the campers struggling to stay awake. "So far all 23 campers are still wide awake."
"Woohoo!" Owen cheered with heavy bags under his eyes as he tried to stay awake with his usual happiness and enthusiasm. "I can do that in my sleep! Woohoo…" After a few seconds, Owen proceeded to pass out on the ground with a thud, the Gophers falling down to 11 awake members.
CONFESSIONAL – GWEN
"The Awake-a-thon was definitely the most brutal thing I've ever done in my life." Gwen said with a sigh.
Gwen let out a loud yawn as she looked down at the ground, feeling like complete crap. "This is the most boring thing I've ever done in my life." Gwen said with Trent sitting next to her.
The guitarist let out a yawn before looking at Gwen. "Could be way worse."
"Oh yeah?" Gwen questioned as she looked at Gwen. "How?"
Trent smiled at the Goth girl and said. "I could be stuck here without you to talk to." Gwen couldn't help but give a small smile at Trents words, a small hint of pink coming to her cheeks.
All the while Heather watched with narrowed eyes.
CONFESSIONAL – HEATHER
"So my strategy is to get two other campers to form an alliance with me and take to the final three." Heather explained as she put a finger to her chin. "The only question is, who can I find that is either desperate or dumb enough to do whatever I say?"
"What are you doing?" Gwen asked with a raised eyebrow as she and Trent looked to see Lindsay trying to stand on her head.
"Trying…to get the blood to rush to my head." Lindsay answered with a smile on her face. "Heh…I think it's working."
"Can I try?" Beth asked as she walked next to Lindsay.
"Sure!" Lindsay encouraged.
Heather looked at both Lindsay and Beth with a grin. Lindsay was as dumb as they could come and Beth was obviously a desperate wanna-be in Heathers eyes. "Perfect." Heather said as she walked over to the two girls. "Perfect. Lindsay, Beth, can I talk to you for a sec?"
"Sure!" Both girls said in unison…both standing on their heads.
"Whats she doing?" Lincoln said as he watched Heather taking Lindsay and Beth to the edge of the campfire site. He couldn't make what they were saying, but he saw Lindsay and Beth cheering excitedly over something as they hugged each other. Meanwhile Heather simply smirked and crossed her arms. "She's up to something…"
"You're most likely right." Dawn said to Lincoln whit in lotus position. Lincoln was currently leaning against one of the stumps at the site with Dawn sitting on it in a meditating position. "Heather was an extremely gray and malicious aura around her. Whatever she's up to can't be good."
"I don't need to read auras to figure that out." Lincoln said, sending a brief glare to Heather before looking at Dawn with a curious expression. "So hey, how come-" Lincoln cut himself off as he let out a loud yawn. "Excuse me, so how come you don't look tired? I know we both avoided the real fattening and sleep-inducing foods but I'd think we'd both still be pretty exhausted."
"Its simply a matter of mind over body." Dawn explained to Lincoln as she took a deep breath in through her nose and then let it out through her mouth. "Plus, I'm using my chi to help stabilize my body as well and not experience fatigue."
"Chi?" Lincoln questioned with a curious expression. "Isn't that like…an anime thing?"
"Um, no not exactly." Dawn giggled a little at Lincoln's question. "It's the energy that helps sustain our bodies and give us and everything around us life. Its what connects us all as beings of mother nature."
"Huh, that sounds really cool." Lincoln complimented, earning an unnoticed dust of pink on Dawn's cheeks. "So is chi how you doing things like…read auras, talk to animals, and appear out of nowhere."
"More or less." Dawn said as she held up her finger to reveal a ladybug crawling on it. "That sort of thing has been in my family for generations. On my mothers side at least. I come from a long line of nature lovers and aura readers. We all believe that plants, animals, and all living things need to be protected and understood."
"Wow…you got some really strong beliefs. I really respect that." Lincoln said as he put a fist against his heart. Anyone standing firm in their beliefs in something for generations was incredibly respectable…well…so long as they good not terrorizing belief. "So, why'd you come onto a reality show like this? Doubt your someone to care about fame and or fortune."
"Oh of course not." Dawn immediately shook her head in response. "I couldn't care less about fame. And money's not important to me. But what is important to me is nature and all my animal friends. If I win the $100,000 dollars, I wanna donate it all to help mother earth.
"Man…ya know, the world would be really better place if there were more people like you the world. Looking out for others instead of themselves." Lincoln said as his respect for Dawn only grew and earning himself a sweet smile from Dawn. "As for me…well I'm with you on fame and money. I mean I guess they're both nice but I really just came here because I thought it would be a new experience where I could make some new friends and try new things. And I guess I'm been doing a good job so far." However Lincoln then slumped down as he let out a sad sigh. "Although coming here sure did cost a lot…"
Dawn gave Lincoln a sympathetic look as she put a hand on top of his shoulder. "I already told you Lincoln, you shouldn't blame yourself for that." Dawn told the Loud boy with a tone that was both firm and soft. "She broke up with you for completely unjust reasons and she should be ashamed of herself. You shouldn't feel guilty in the slightest and deserve someone who treats you better."
"…I guess." Lincoln sighed out.
CONFESSIONAL – LINCOLN
"Alright…I'll bite." Lincoln sighed as he rested his head on his hand. "So, me and my girlfriend at the time Ronnie Anne both auditioned to get on this show together. However, I got accepted and she didn't. And when I said I was still going…she wasn't so happy about that. Even though we BOTH agreed that if just one of us go we'd simply support and root for them! But nope, apparently THAT got thrown at the window and she started arguing with me and saying how I shouldn't go if she didn't also go. One thing led to another, we started shouting and then…she dumped me. I was hoping this show would help me forget about it but…so far, no luck. Well, at least Dawn's a great friend to have so she makes things a little easier. DJ and Harold are also really cool. But for now, I just gotta focus on the challenge."
With Eva, she was currently sitting next to both Bridgette and Geoff while listening to heavy metal music on her MP3 player. The athlete then stood up as she put her MP3 in her pocket. "I'm going to the bathroom." Eva told everyone as she headed towards the bathroom area. But as she walked, her MP3 player fell out of her pocket.
Heather watched this happened and a smirk came to her face. The light black-haired girl walked over to where the MP3 player fell and looked around to make sure no one was watching. Once she determined the coast was clear, Heather did some stretching motions and sneakily picked up the music player. But as she did that…
"I don't believe that belongs to you." Heather gasped and quickly hit the MP3 behind her back as she looked to see Lincoln standing behind her. The Loud boy giving Heather a glare as he crossed his arms.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Heather said with feigned innocence. "I was just doing some stretches to help stay awake."
"Oh really?" Lincoln wasn't buying anything Heather was giving him and pointed to the hands she was hiding behind her. "Because I just thought I saw you pick up Eva's MP3 player."
"Hehehe, I'm pretty sure I did no such thing." Heather shook her head, not looking Lincoln in the eye. "Now if you excuse me, I have to meet up with the rest of team." But as Heather tried to walk away, Lincoln stepped in front of her and halted her path.
"Then show me your hands." Lincoln demanded as he glared harder at Heather. "You seem pretty keen on hiding them."
Heather started to grit her teeth. This guy really wasn't letting up. And something told her he wouldn't be afraid at using force and as much as the thought made her want to barf, Heather saw Lincoln shirtless during the cliff jumping challenge and knew he had a decent amount of muscle that his cloths hid well. Seeing no other way out of the situation, Heather very reluctantly showed her hands. As well as the MP3 player she took.
"You did no such thing huh?" Lincoln said as he quickly swiped the music device away from Heather. "What a load of bull crap."
"Oh, yeah meant that MP3 player." Heather continued to play her false innocence card. "I just say it on the ground and was planning on taking it to the lost and found."
"Uh-huh, sure you were." Lincoln rolled his eyes at Heathers continued attempts to trick him. He's met and seen girls like Heather before and they read like an open book. "Listen, take your own advice and mind your own team. I'm onto you."
Heather gritted her teeth more and she said through them. "…Fine." Heather then walked away with Lincoln giving a satisfied nod.
CONFESSIONAL – HEATHER
"That walking snowball is going to pay." Heather said with her eyes making a fierce glare. Needless to say, she was really ticked off at Lincoln. "No one gets away with telling me off like that. Or messing up my plans! He's going to get it!"
Soon after Eva returned from the bathroom with Lincoln quickly walking up to her. "Hey Eva." Lincoln said getting the athletes attention. "You dropped this on your way to the bathroom, picked it up for you."
Eva's eyes widened as she checked her pockets and sure enough her music player was gone. So the athletic girl took it back from Lincoln. "Thanks." Eva said to the white haired boy with him giving a nod before going back to sit next to Dawn. All the while Heather watched with a glare.
24 HOURS
The challenged was now at the 24-hour mark. On the Screaming Gophers side, Owen, Izzy, and Noah had all fallen asleep with everyone else looking exhausted and ready to fall anytime now. All expect Justin who was standing firm, unmoving with his chest puffed out and his eyes wide open.
On the Killer Bass side, Bridgette, Katie, and Sadie were all knocked out. Everyone awake was in a similar position to most of the awake Gophers with the exception of a still wide-awake Dawn and Courtney who, while tired, kept running in place.
"Congratulations, campers!" Chris said as he watched the completely exhausted and sleep-deprived campers from next to the metal barrier. "You've made it to the twenty-four-hour mark. Time to take things up a notch!" Everyone then watched as Chris pulled a sheet off of what was revealed to be a large stack of books. "Fairy Tales!"
"Oh, he's not serious!" Gwen complained as that was one of the last things she wanted right now.
Chris then cleared his throat and got ready to read…only for a harp to be heard as everyone watched and laughed as Chef came up next to Chris wearing a pink sheep costume. Chef growled as Chris and a few others laughed at him until the host clear his throat again and started reading from the book. "Once…upon a time…there was…inside this boring kingdom…a boring village. And inside this boring, sleepy, village…filled with very boring children…that did very…boring things."
The story actually ended up getting quite a few yawns from some of the campers. It even managed to get a member of the Gophers out. Cody, who proceeded to lay asleep on Owen's but…only to be woken up by Owen farting. But he was still out.
More time passed as more and more campers kept falling like flies. It got even worse when Chef, now dressed up like a ballerina, started dancing around with Chris playing The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy on a radio as Chef through some sort of sleep inducing sparkles on the other campers with these sparkles managing to knock DJ out as he tied himself to a tree…causing the tree to fall.
40 HOURS
CONFESSIONAL – COURTNEY
"I figured that if I kept moving, I could outlast all of them." Courtney explained her strategy of constantly running in place. "I just had to keep my eye on the ball."
"We should talk about our strategy," Heather said to Beth, not noticing Lindsay was no longer sitting next to her.
"Yeah…yeah…strategy." Beth even struggled to speak due to the lack of sleep she was experiencing. "But…shouldn't...Lindsay be…here for it."
"What?" Heather yawned out before looking to the stump next to her and indeed seeing that the dumb blond was gone. Growling a bit, Heather looked to where she knew Lindsay was. Looking past Beth, Heather looked to see Lindsay snuggling up to a passed-out Tyler. "Lindsay!"
"Huh? Wha?" Lindsay let out as she looked around to see who had called her. But the dumb blond ended up flinching when she saw Heather glaring at her and snapping her fingers before pointing to the stump Lindsay was previously sitting out. Not wanting to make Heather mad and get kicked out of the alliance that Heather made that included her and Beth, Lindsay quickly went back to the stump she was on. "I just wanted to visit him for a second honest!"
"That is the sixth time you were distracted by him!" Heather harshly scolded Lindsay making the exhausted blond flinch. "What did I tell you about him?"
"That boys aren't allowed in the alliance because they'll turn their backs on us…" Lindsay quietly muttered back what Heather told her earlier. Over the last three days both Tyler and Lindsay kept giving looks to each other with Tyler always trying to do crazy stunts to impress her. They worked but Tyler always ended up getting injured. When Lindsay asked if they could invite Tyler to be in the alliance Heather quickly shot down the idea by telling Lindsay that boys weren't trust worthy.
When in reality it was just so Lindsay wasn't distracted from doing whatever Heather said.
"I better not see it happen again." Heather warned Lindsay who would've flinched if not for releasing a loud and long yawn. "Now then, we should discuss our strategy."
"Yeah…our…our…wha…" Lindsay finally couldn't stay awake anymore as both she and Beth proceeded to pass out cold.
CONFESSIONAL – HEATHER
"Well that's just perfect!" Heather welled with an incredibly irritated tone. "First Mr. Orange takes back Miss Rageholic's MP3 player, and now Lindsay won't focus because of that stupid jock!" Heather growled a bit before a little idea came to her head as she put a finger to her chin. "Hmmmmm…"
"Ok, favorite song?" Gwen asked as she and Trent continued to sit next to each other. To both pass the time and to help each other stay awake, they kept asking each other various questions.
Trent thought about it for a moment before answering. "She will be Loved." Trent said with a smile on his face before asking his question. "Favorite color?"
"Midnight blue." Gwen didn't even have to think about this one.
"Ooh, mysterious. I like that." Trent said with a little grin on his face. Gwen smiled, but soon yawned causing Trent to quickly put a hand on her shoulder. "Aw, don't fall asleep. Okay, quick. Favorite movie moment?"
"You're gonna think its cheesy." Gwen told Trent.
"I promise I won't." Trent reassured the girl.
Gwen averted her gaze a bit before saying. "The kiss at the end of that road trip movie." Gwen admitted to the guitarist. "You know, the one with the guy and the three girls?"
"I know the one." Trent laughed a bit with Gwen even joining in on the laughing with Trent. "You like that movie?" The moment would have been sweet…had a now naked Owen not sleep walked past them. Both of their eyes slowly widened as they looked to where Owen was laying previous and saw only all of his cloths scattered about. They then watched as Owen, still sleep walking, headed into the woods.
CONFESSIONAL – OWEN
"Did I mention that I ate the entire dish of baked beans and maple syrup?" Owen sheepishly asked. "Funny thing about baked beans, they make me sleepwalk."
"Heheh, look at that." Lincoln couldn't help but laugh as he watched Katie and Sadie sleeping right next to each other. The two best friends fell asleep at the exact time and hadn't even rolled away from each other in their sleep. "They even sleep together."
"It makes sense. Their auras are practically bonded together." Dawn commented with her usual sweet smile on her face. "Its rare to behold such a sight."
"So hey, what determines a person's aura?" Lincoln asked Dawn as he decided to pick up on what Gwen and Trent were doing and thought that asking questions would help out in staying awake and helping the time go by. Also burning the imagine of the naked sleep walking Owen out of his mind. "Like, do darker colors mean bad people and lighter colors good?"
"No, not at all." Dawn explained to Lincoln. "While yes, a color like black and grey can mean someone is evil or wicked, it could also just mean they are strong, bold, or mysterious. The colors of aura more so show a person's personality, not their morality. While the shape or pattern of an aura is determined by the person emotions and how they are feeling."
"Ooooh, I think I get it now." Lincoln said as he thought about what Dawn said. "So whats my aura like?"
"It's a very purplish-blue aura." Dawn told the white head as the two looked at each other. "It tells me that you're a very trust worthy, smart, faithful, and creative person." Lincoln couldn't help but blush a little bit at Dawn's description of him. "And it's shape…well…"
"Let me guess." Lincoln smirked a bit. "Wild, out of control, and kinda chaotic." Dawn sheepishly nodded in response. "Hey, I'm sure you're aware, but given my life that's absolutely no surprise." Lincoln and Dawn couldn't help themselves and proceeded to laugh a bit.
"So…just out of curiosity…have you ever had a boyfriend before?" Lincoln asked Dawn whose eyes widened a bit in response.
"Um, no actually…" Dawn revealed as she rubbed her arm. "Actually I don't really have that many friends back home other than animals. Most people think I'm creepy and weird."
Lincoln frowned at hearing that. Sure Dawn might have a mysterious vibe to her but in the end its what made her so charming and cool to be around. At least in Lincoln's opinion. The white head then smiled as he put a hand on Dawn's shoulder. "Well its there lost." Lincoln told the mysterious girl with a smile. "You're a really awesome person. Anyone who doesn't realize that is an idiot." Dawn felt her cheeks turn red and a little warm at his words. The mysterious girl couldn't stop herself as she got off the stump and leaned on it with her body a mere inch away from touching Lincoln. The two looked right into each other's eyes and smiled. They even hardly noticed their cheek colors.
"Look at him. He's like a statue." Both Lincoln and Dawn's attention were drawn to Trent and Gwen as they looked in amazement at Justin who was still standing tall and firm with wide unblinking eyes. "He hasn't moved in over…fifty hours! Hello? Yo!"
"Yip! Yip!" Both Trent and Gwen yelled and made wild movement to try and break Justin's concentration. "Yip, yip, yip, yip, yip!"
"Amazing." Gwen couldn't help but be impressed by the unbreakable wall that was Justin. "Look at the concentration."
"But he's not concentrating." Dawn's words got most of the awake camper's attention as they all turned to look at her. "He's asleep. He just painted his eyelids."
"What?!" Lincoln gasped out as everyone looked to Justin with expressions of disbelief.
"I thought you all knew." Dawn said genuinely. Lincoln then stood up and walked over to Justin and wiped his finger across his eye lid. Sure enough, Lincoln and everyone else gasped as both makeup was smeared on both Fingers finger and Justin's closed eye as the handsome teen was stirred awake and actually opened his eyes.
"Cheater!" Lincoln yelled at Justin making him flinch. "Hey Chris!"
"Whats up?" Chris asked as he turned to Lincoln glaring at a nervous Justin.
"We got ourselves a cheater!" Lincoln said as he pointed harshly at Justin. "He painted his eye lids!"
"Get out! Oh, I've gotta see this." Chris then ran over to Justin to see the situation for himself. Justin smiled nervously as he blinked a few times to show the make up on his eye lids. "That is so crazy incredible! But, you're still out, dude." Justin slumped down a bit as the Gophers were down another member.
"Well glad that was taken care of." Lincoln said as he dusted off his hands. "Now then where…were…we…ah crap…" Lincoln suddenly lost feelings in his legs as his eyes went blurry and felt like that weighed a ton. "Welp…that's it for me…good night everybody.
And with that, Lincoln passed out on the ground face first. "Lincoln!" Dawn called out to in concern. The light blond girl was quick to flip Lincoln onto his back. The white head snored as Dawn brought him over to a stepped and let Lincoln lean against it in a comfortable sleeping position. "Get some rest, I promise we'll win this."
85 HOURS
Lots happened during the last few days of staying awake. Duncan made Harold pee his pants by sticking his hand in warm water, Noah kissed Cody's ear while they were both asleep, and the still sleep walking Owen swam up a waterfall with salmon. The only remaining campers were Gwen, Trent, and Heather or the Screaming Gophers and Duncan, Eva, and Dawn for the Killer Bass. Amazingly, Dawn still showed absolutely no signs of exhaustion.
Gwen let out an incredibly loud and long yawn, "I'd kill for a coffee right now." Gwen groaned out, feeling absolutely miserable.
"What's the matter with you people?" Chris asked as he walked to everyone while, as if taunting Gwen, holding a coffee. "Come on, fall asleep already!"
Just then Gwen crawled up to Gwen with the goth tugging his pants. "You've gotta hook me up, man." Gwen begged for any form of caffeine. "I'll even eat the grinds! Anything!"
Chris pulled away from Gwen as the host looked to the remaining campers. "Alright, you six stay with me. "The rest of you go get a shower, for heaven's sake. You stink!" Everyone did as they were told as Heather, Gwen, Trent, Duncan, Eva, and Dawn, followed Chris with all the other campers heading out to either take a shower or pass out somewhere else.
Chris took a long mocking sip of his cup of coffee as the remaining six campers sat down on the stumps. "I didn't want it to come to this, I said that to Chef Hatchet last night, I said, 'Chef, I don't want it to come to this." Chris explained from behind the metal barrel. "But darn it, these campers are tough." And so…I've come up with the most boring, sleep-inducing activity I can find."
CONFESSIONAL – GWEN
"Oh come on! What now?" Gwen yelled before crossing her arms. "Okay, you know what? Bring it on!"
Chris then grinned as he pulled out an incredibly large red book. "The History of Canada." Chris narrated in a soft voice before opening up and revealing a pop-up of a beaver. "Chapter One: The Beaver, National symbol and a dam fine hat." Duncan, Eva, Gwen, Heather, and Trent all groaned while Dawn glared harshly at Chris for that statement.
And so Chris read and read and read. He read the book in a soft narrator-like voice and it sure as heck did trick of boring the campers to sleep as Heather, Eva, and Duncan soon passed out. And it wasn't long before Treen was seen falling off his stump. "Trent! Noooo!" But despite Gwen calling out to him, Trent fell flat on his face and was out cold. "Don't leave me…"
And now it was down to two contestants. Gwen for the Screaming Gophers and Dawn for the Killer Bass. And Gwen couldn't help but look in complete shock as she turned her head to Dawn. The mysterious girl still not showing signs of tiredness. No bags under her eyes, not yawning, and her body somehow didn't stick like hers and everyone else other than Chris's did.
CONFESSIONAL – GWEN
"Ok, how is that even possible?!" Gwen yelled out in a tone of disbelief and surprise. "First this girl knows someone's life story by looking at them, then she talks to animals, I'm convinced she can teleport with how she's always popping up out of nowhere and then leaving without a trace and when some of the girls went hiking we had to cross a mud puddle and she somehow didn't get her shoes dirty so I'm convinced she can levitate somehow to. And now four days without sleep and she looks like she just woke up. What could possibly be going on with her?"
Chris kept reading but Gwen and especially Dawn didn't let up. Chris stopped reading for a second before checking his watch. "Time for a bathroom break!" Chris told the last two campers still awake. "Any takers?"
"I'm good." Dawn said while still sitting in lotus position. "Thank you."
"Ugh, me please." Gwen groaned out as she got up. She struggling to find her footing and started walking away while trying to keep her balance…and then it happened. Gwen finally couldn't take it anymore as she suddenly lost her balance and fell down on the ground face first.
Passed out.
Chris ran over to the goth to check on her to see what was up. The host turned Gwen onto her back and saw that Gwen was fast asleep and snoring.
The last Screaming Gopher was out.
"And that's it!" Chris announced loudly to everyone as he went over to Dawn and gestured both of her hands on it. "Gwen is out! Dawn is still standing! The winner of the awake-a-thon are…The Killer Bass!"
"WOOOOHOOOO!" Everyone from the Killer Bass all cheered for Dawn while the Screaming Gophers all slumped down in defeat, the only one missing from them being Owen.
"Dawn!" Lincoln called out to her with a giant smile on his face as he ran up right next to her. "You did it! You won!"
"…"
Lincoln rose a brow as Dawn didn't say a thing in response. "Dawn?" Lincoln poked her shoulder to get the light blond's attention…only for Dawn to suddenly fall face first on the ground. "Dawn!"
Lincoln picked her up bridal story allowing for her and Chris to see that Dawn had finally given in and was out cold, light snoring. "Wow, holding out to the last second." Chris laughed a bit as Lincoln checked her over to make sure she was ok. "Impressive."
CONFESSIONAL – DAWN
"Guess my…chi reserves finally…ran low…" Dawn said with the girl finally looking completely exhausted with baggy eyes, messy hair, and struggling to even speak. "Still…86 hours…that's a new record…woohoo…" Dawn then raised up her arms…only to fall down on the outhouse floor and pass out again.
CONFESSIONAL – HEATHER
"In a way, maybe its for the better that we didn't win." Heather said with a smirk on her face. "This way, I can finally get rid of the one thing distracting Lindsay from doing whatever I say. Beth, Izzy, Justin, and Noah were easy to convince. So was Owen after we, ugh, 'retrieved' him. Cody took a little convincing but all I had to do to get the little geek on my side was give him a chocolate bar. So its obvious who'll be going home."
"Get some rest Dawn, you've more then earned it." Lincoln whispered to Dawn as he continued holding her. The Loud boy held her tight and close as he started heading towards the cabins. As he passed by his team, Harold, DJ, and Geoff saw him carrying Dawn and gave Lincoln a thumbs up, causing the white head to raise his eyebrow.
THAT NIGHT
Once again, it was time for the elimination ceremony to begin. The still completely exhausted Screaming Gophers were all sitting on the stumps with the fire crackling in front of them. Chris was at his spot behind the metal barrel holding a plate of 11 marshmallows. 12 Gophers would soon become 11, and 23 campers would become 22.
"You've all cast your votes and made your decision." Chris said as many of the Gophers rubbed their eyes and yawned. There are only 11 marshmallows on this plate. When I call your name, come up and claim your marshmallow. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow must immediately return to the Dock of Shame, catch the Boat of Losers, and leave. And you can never come back. Ever."
Chris repeated what he told the Bass during the very first elimination ceremony as a few of the Gophers managed the strength to tense up. "The first marshmallow goes to…Owen." Chris called out.
"Woohoo!" Owen cheered as he walked up to Chris and quickly ate the marshmallow given to him.
"Heather, Lindsay, Beth." Chris called out to the first official alliance of the game who all got their marshmallows with smiles on their faces.
"Cody, Noah, Izzy." The next three Chris called struggled a bit to stand up without passing out. They luckily were able to make it over to Chris and collect their marshmallows.
"Gwen, Trent, Leshawna." Chris once again called out three campers at a time who all quickly got their marshmallows, wanting this thing to be done with so they can go back to bed.
"Campers, this is the final marshmallow of the evening." Tyler and Justin tensed up incredibly as they looked to see one last marshmallow on Chris's plate. One of them would be going home and could never return to the island. "And the last marshmallow of the night goes to…" Both Justin and Tyler gulped as they slowly looked to each other, waiting in anticipation for who would be getting the last white sugary treat.
"…Justin." The handsome team gave his perfect white smile as he walked up to Chris to collect his marshmallow.
Tyler's mouth went agape as Lindsay looked in disbelief. "W-What?" Lindsay stuttered in disbelief. Why would her team vote for Tyler? He was super cool, nice, and athlete. Plus she really, really liked him! She hadn't even gotten the chance to kiss him yet. Outside of her dreams that is.
Tyler stood up with a lowered head as Chris gestured to the dock of shame. "Sorry dude, dock of shame is that way." Tyler sniffled a bit as he started heading to where Ezekial walked down a few days ago.
"Tyler!" Tyler turned around and saw that Lindsay had called to him. The dumb blond smiled at the jock and said. "When this all over…you wanna go out sometime."
Tyler's face quickly turned to a face as he eagerly nodded. "I'll be counting the days." Lindsay blushed and then looked in sadness as Tyler walked away to the dock, sighing as she saw the boat of losers carrying Tyler away from the island.
"The rest of you, you're all safe." Chris told the remaining Gophers with his usual grin. "For now."
And with that, another episode of Total Drama Island comes to end.
