(Ok, it's been a while, but I was a man without TV for a long time and writing was starting to lose its flare for me. It wasn't until TV came back into my life, I felt like I had something to take a quick break at writing to do. Now… I think I can write a lot more or I hope so. So now enjoy this and I will update another story right now… first, I need to write the damn thing lol.)

The camp was full of life once again. Oh how the old have come and how they have changed. The popular power couple of Duncan and Courtney, maybe the most expected to stay together failed, DJ and Gwen, two of the saddest people you could ever meet, Noah, not exactly cynical by impulse, and more than sure to be more to come.

Then there were people still not quite different at all. Seems Cody still doesn't get out of the house, Ezekiel, still not socially accepted by the group, Eva, still a bully, Lindsay, still not quite smart.

There were still a few people not quite settled with who they are and how they might have changed. Justin for one is too hidden from the cameras to be found in cabin and forest. Believe me; the cameras were looking for that ugly face.

After dinner that guy couldn't be found anywhere. Justin was running for the sea to swim for it. Justin too busy looking behind him ran into something hard and hit the ground. Even in the strong body of his youth, there was no way He would knock down someone as strong as DJ.

DJ seemed to not even notice Justin was there at first until Justin tried to bolt for it.

"So, you're trying to leave the island too? I wouldn't suggest it. There are boots all over the coast in case someone tries to swim for it." DJ pointed to his clothes lying on the ground that were more for swimwear. "That's right; I tried already and got caught."

"But," Justin started yet he needed to pause trying to get the words right for this situation. "Why on earth would you want to run away? Nothing should be bothering you right?"

"You would think that right? DJ, always the mellow and calm guy, timid, but everyone's friend, But I can have troubles over twenty years can I not?" He asked the homeless man.

"I would think you can, but come on. If we had to pick someone who had a life gone right, we would have voted for you. Though Heather seems to have won the prize."

"Please, do not say her name right now." DJ sighed deeply and kicked the sand in frustration. "But you know Chris gave us a general idea of what happened to you. I suppose, he didn't tell us the whole story right?"

"Of course."

"So, do you maybe want to share what might really have happened to you?"

"Not really. But let me ask you this, why don't you look disgusted by the sight of my face like everyone else?"

"A person is a person, no matter how he or she looks, everyone should have a shot at being happy however they see fit." DJ said firmly. "That's what my mama always told me and I stand by it."

"Your mother sounds like a great person."

DJ felt even sadder in the sights of the former model. There was no mistake in the early morning that was bothering him more than anything else.

"I take it that was why you were swimming away from here huh?" Justin could see DJ's eyes start to water.

"It's much worse than that, doctor's say; she doesn't have much longer to live. And I'm staying here rather than being at her side to the end."

"I'm sure Chris knows the kind of pain he is putting you through keeping you here doesn't he?"

"He knows the whole story like he knows yours I'm sure."

Justin honestly for the first time since his face has been this way felt he knows someone whose pain is much greater than his own. Though they were only a few words, they had so much power and sadness that Justin could not relate to. He put the reason behind it because he was just and only does think about himself rather than others. That's where he got to thinking…

"Well, there is one thing I can say," Started the male model.

Justin was only thirteen years old. His family lived with almost nothing. His father was his only parent since his mother ran off with a pimp many years ago to live the life of dreams. That left Justin's father to take care of six kids on his own.

He often could be seen doing one of three jobs in a six day work period. Sunday was always his one day off that he spent with his kids. It was hard, but each one had their own bedroom in the same house. His father was a plumber by day, a janitor for a hospital by night five days a week. On Saturdays he could be found working at a Wal-Mart a full 16 hours stock shelves from 8 a.m. till midnight. He was their best stocker, but it was the only day he would work.

At thirteen he was discovered then and there by a modeling agent. Unlike Justin's family, he took after his mother in looks. Just like her, they were beyond beautiful. There was little you could do to their looks to alter or change how they looked and make them ugly. They made ugly things look better.

Within the week of being discovered, he signed to a contract worth nearly fifty grand a year.

"I'm promise dad; you will never have to work that hard again."

For a time, he wouldn't…

His dad was able to drop all but the plumbing job since it paid well working 6 days a week. Justin often would not be home for weeks but would have a teacher getting paid well to follow and teach him everything he needed to know for school.

Checks for about sixty percent of Justin's pay were sent to the rest of the family. With this, they were getting along just fine. They never had to worry. Things were great.

Well…

After the year's contract had ended, Justin found himself with another contract worth several times more than he made before. It was well into the 3 hundred thousands per year, for the next 5 years.

It was then he was getting to thinking, he was making all the money on his good looks. He was the one that was earning it and his father said always trust your judgment over all others. His judgment right now was telling him that it was his money and he should do what he wants to it.

Slowly but surely he began to spend more and more money on himself. Face altering operations and any slight flaw that he had, anything that made a person human, or just something you cover with makeup. It was what made him what was seen on TV in the first two seasons, only he was just a year younger at the end. He would be known as the hottest male teen all over the country, until he was no longer considered a teenager; or at least that's what they said in the magazines all over Canada.

Set with that in mind, he was soon sending less and less money to his poor family back home. Just before the season of Total Drama Island had started for the model, it had all come to an end.

He no longer sent them any kind of payment/ not even a letter was address telling them as to why he did this.

Most of his brothers and sisters began to hate him for a better term of words slap his father in the face for all he had done for them. At this time, the effects of the economy had hindered jobs even over in Canada. More importantly, he couldn't find a job worth the pay he was getting for his second job or third job, or even close. The oldest son Kevin didn't have enough money to support two houses, but he could take him and the remaining kids under 18 with his own family just starting to grow. His father's income also made it worth it. So they were able to get along even without Justin's model money.

After his loss on Total Drama Action, Justin had some downtime to relax before he had to head of the Asia for more tours and fame and sadly, his family long gone and left him no sign of where they were. He had taken surprise to see a new family that went by the Townsend's. It would be now that he would have to take a look through the internet as to how they were and where they were now.

"And when I finally found where my family was staying at…" But then Justin was broken off.

"Campers, or should I say senior campers; either way, take yourselves to the café for breakfast served by Chef. You will only have 20 minutes and then your first challenge begins!" Chris said excited.

"Looks like we will have to cut this short. Seems we need to try to eat that food to have any kind of strength to compete today." Justin said walking back to the campgrounds.

DJ however just stared out to the sea looking more depressed at the thought that he would be stuck here even if his team lost twice. But this prize, if she did hold on long enough, maybe it could save her. Now it would have to be the only thing that matters, it could be.

"Well, if I'm stuck here, I might as well try to win the prize to maybe save her. There's little time left, both ways."

He lazily got to his feet and walked back to the campgrounds.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

DJ walked in to see he was the last one inside. Only Bridgette and Geoff had yet to sit down and eat when he came in. Looking at his watch and seeing it was still so early, it had to be a huge change to see everyone alert and wide awake at this time of day. Remembering how it was twenty years ago, it was a major difference at how they were then and now.

Duncan and Courtney were matching glares at each other from each side of the table. Trent was stuck listening to Izzy talk and talk about things with Owen. He picked the wrong place to sit since they couldn't sit next to each other by the time they got their food.

Beth was getting attention from the likes of Cody and Ezekiel alike, though it was a struggle to get Ezekiel to say much of a word edge wise for the model. She really was trying to get to know him today over most of the single boys. Today was an Ezekiel day, due to the fact that he may very well be the first eliminated once again. She wanted to give all of them a chance, even him and Duncan after all Bridgette told her. But he still didn't seem so bad the on time she spent the day with his daughter and him a few years ago. She didn't even recognize him due to his attitude and look so, different from the bad boy and Mohawk nonexistent. He still had a joking side to him since he sent a clown that was bugging his daughter so much. Duncan then forced so many helium balloons tied to his feet he flew 30 feet in the air. How ironic they found out this clown, was a rapist on the run, so she thought. Did Duncan know something about that guy?

It was a very uninteresting breakfast since there was no where to run and not much to say. They all still had to get very use to not eating much, again; not to mention they will have to put up with Chris yet again.

"Teams meet me at the Cliff. I'm sure you know where that is this year. And bring your swimsuits." Chris said rather excited from the camp intercom once more.

No one look too thrilled about this, not even Owen.

Confession cam

Owen

"Yeah, I remember doing that jump many years back, I got over my fear and felt great that I was able to make our first win rather easy. But the fear came back overwhelmingly. I'm pretty sure I can't do that jump again."

Duncan

"Courtney and Beth were the ones who did not do that jump last time and I'm sure they will have a hard time this time. All we have to do is talk DJ into doing it, but maybe it might be easier than I'm making it? It has been twenty years; they could have gotten over their fear of that."

Courtney

"I'm not doing that jump, it will be career suicide. Okay, I don't think I have much of a choice here. Be much worse to get eliminated first."

Beth

"I can do that jump now. On one of my vacations I jumped off this really big fall to try and get over my fears with my at the time boyfriend Orlando. He made me feel so brave those two years. Now, I feel like I can do almost anything."

DJ

"I'm not jumping."

End of session

As they all walked up the cliff many chats were going on about what this new challenge might be. Katie was being pushed by Sadie as pretty much the whole 22 contestants conversed with each other on this one.

"There is no way Chris is having us do the same challenges over again." Heather started point blank. While many didn't like the idea of agreeing with her, on anything, they all sadly nodded.

"This might be on of those challenges that might you know, be like what we did in the past. You just have to add and few changes to it eh." Ezekiel added.

"Well what could be worse than jumping into a sea full of sharks?"

"Now that my face is this way I can't think of much." Justin started. "Except for the fact that my face is this way."

"There are many things worse than being ugly, like being a mime. Hey, maybe Chris might have us duel to the death with our worst fears?" So said Trent.

"I don't think that we could get anything worse than a possible defeat for Gwen than being underground." Cody said defeating Trent's idea. "Or Duncan's Celine music stand fear."

The chatter went on and on like this over and over. Ezekiel stood out from it all as he notice DJ, was the only one looking worried about the whole thing. This wasn't the look that he had with his problems with his mom, the look he had now was looking in the water. From what Ezekiel could see there was no sign of any sharks.

"You still don't want to do the jump big guy?" Ezekiel asked falling back to DJ as he was the furthest from the crowd.

"Well, even though I can swim, I still have a problem with the height factor. The lake is pretty deep and when you put Chris on the job, anything could happen next. He seems to put the worst for everyone in every challenge. I try not to worry about it most of the time when we were here, but if something kills me, I mean they can kill me; I can't be at her side when the time comes. And then there is the fact…" DJ started to smile a bit. "There is a chance I can save her still. She can still be put under that expensive treatment if I can win. She has no insurance since Canada is trying to become a new America."

"Yeah, what a bunch of hosiers those Americans are. Can't even get good health plan going."

"Dickweeds."

Both members of the opposing teams were able to share a laugh with one another. What was even better is Ezekiel was able to find two people to accept him. But, Ezekiel just had to ask…

"So what do you think with what I was accused of?" Ezekiel asked.

"At first I won't lie, it seemed as if you did it and it was all kinds of sick and wrong, but then when no evidence of you being in the room, or anywhere else, you still had me wondering. But since then I have met a man who works as a detective. I asked about the case and gave all the input I knew. He looked further on the internet and told me there is no way you did it. Courtney had to be lying with everything. How she got that girl to agree and say you did it and even why, that's what I don't get." DJ looked very puzzled in trying to think. This got Ezekiel into thinking of more dirt he found on Courtney in the past. Something he could not prove, but know indeed happened.

It was a late fall day. Ezekiel had been driving a large truck since four in the morning two providence's over. Ezekiel had taken longer trips in the past. After he had officially graduated from high school he had gotten into farming more and more for a neighbor until he made it his full time job.

He was in his late twenties making a delivery to all places the Government of the same state where a certain CIT was now the Governor of.

What they delivered, were live animals so they could be promised fully fresh. It was now quite popular to do now in Canada, and it brought the farmers back in the game and made it, a more popular career choice. Some farmers even sold livestock to be kept as pets. Also, what some farmer couldn't raise in their area, they would purchase a few from another that did so trade could be more established. It often could be done in trade, or cash benefit.

So this was a business Bridgette could never stand, However Eva in her high day, would use this religiously.

Ezekiel had never made a delivery here before. He had to sign many paper just to get in. He brought in thirty chickens and 10 cows to make enough food for a benefit ball the governor was having in the next week. They needed the animals now and they knew these guys may have been a bit more expensive, but the animals were fed in a more old school way. Food these animals should properly eat. The aged the right way, so it was worth the extra buck.

That was his life. But now it was time to get a look at Courtney's life.

Though she had said she would put what she had done in the past it would seem as if that was not true in the least.

"Oh Roman!"

Ezekiel, all alone, could hear the rapid pounding behind a door he has to go through. So whatever had been going on and no, Ezekiel had never seen sex let alone done the deed, this would be his first time seeing it.

Now, at this time, Courtney and Duncan are both still married and thought to be a happy couple. But Ezekiel got first hand what was really going down…

Courtney never stopped cheating on Duncan as she did in college.

The same problem still existed when it came to these two. Duncan, being the cop he was, in a city with crime somehow on the rise and too few good cops on the take, often would be pulling overtime. But most of the money he made into overtime was being set for his daughter and college. Because of this, Courtney was too lonely once more and though she promised herself it would never happen again, the same person who knew this secret then now knows even more.

They quickly got dressed when the delivery boy made it to the room he was suppose to be in. Courtney didn't notice by looks that he was right from the start.

"You, how much do you want?" She started.

"What are you talking about eh?" Ezekiel asked.

"Delivery boy, we all know that you know that if you know anything about me, you know that this isn't my husband."

"Yeah, but it's not because you're the Governor, it's because you are also with me in the Total Drama series when we were teens eh."

It was from there Courtney got everything. Only one of the contestants acting truly the Canadian stereotype and he was standing right in front of her. The only thing she was amazed and at the same time very distraught over at the same time, was that he was the one that knew, again. It was getting quite strange that she was getting caught by the same guy twice.

"You know him?" so went the lover.

"Unfortunately yes." She turned to the Hispanic man when a frown. Then, she was able to quickly turn the tables on Ezekiel into a set of eyes and burning rage.

"If you know what's good for you, you will take the bribe and leave me be and never come back into my life again." She hissed.

"I don't want your money eh. I just think if you are going to keep doing this, for the sake of your family, you know the one that you are suppose to have a husband and hopefully a few kids," Ezekiel did not know the family lives of any of the contestants so all he could do was assume. "That you would come clean. Maybe it will end, but you get to do what you want."

Courtney did take this and seriously thought about what she was doing. It was something she did want to free herself from, something that could make her feel at peace. She felt the need to end this with Roman and get back with Duncan, but then she would have to consider how lonely she would be. Roman was always there for her. Duncan with how hard he was working which by her thoughts he didn't have to but he would always say…

"You don't know what the future holds. Whatever comes I want to make sure I have my girl taken care of, period."

This, while admirable was also though to be foolish by Courtney's standards. She was a Governor whose popularity was on the rise. Each and every month or two there was something she was doing to better this place. Many thinking she should soon take on more power.

But, this could ruin everything; this could be the end of her career if she had a scandal like this, so she thought to herself. Many people ruin themselves on one mistake in life and if anyone knows Courtney, she believes she makes very little or none at all. After all, she hates to lose and hates to have anyone be in charge of her. So instead of planning on ending this, she was just going to use her political skills to convince him otherwise. If anyone know politics, that means to lie very well.

"I think you are right Ezekiel. I am tired of living this life. Leave the papers you need here and I will talk to Duncan the very next chance I get. He is so busy working on some case he is hardly home. But I'll make it work. The guilt really does kill me."

The only truth in that state was that she was feeling the guilt but like the smart woman Courtney was, she knew Ezekiel most likely didn't concern himself with famous people all around anywhere. He'd never know that it was true.

Ezekiel did agree and eventually leave. That's when they got to talking again.

"So, do you really think that we are going to stop here babe."

"Oh shut up and kiss me."

And so they got hot and heavy and disturbed no longer.

Now, in the next few weeks even months Ezekiel whom yes, never did pay any mind to anything famous, he did however try to get a listen in one what was going on with Courtney's life. Mostly to see if she could live up to her word as she says she will do. All politicians should do so, so why not her?

As the time in the month's passed nothing seemed to come out. He talked to a few of his people as it seemed to be the case of maybe they hid it very well. But a few things did not add up to Ezekiel. He kept it to himself for the time being.

It wasn't until fours years later… that's when she became the Prime Minister of Canada.

Ezekiel just so happened to take the day off to listen to the speech. They didn't need him for much that day as it was, but when he watch the speech go on. He saw Duncan, though covered up and lacking a Mohawk, you could tell. But in her state of advisers he could tell.

Dressed up and fitted quite nice in a suit; his hair, very well done, but for Ezekiel, there was no hiding that face. That was the same man she called out the name Roman out in a passion of sex. That had to mean they were still doing this. This meant she never told. All the things were coming together.

Ezekiel, as naïve as he was had to walk back into his room, not even he was going to let the obvious happen here. His mother visiting him asked him as he went back into his room pen in hand.

"Dear, what are you about to do."

Ezekiel, filled with anger and confusion, felt it was his right to now let Duncan in on the truth about his wife had to get down to business in letting him in on his wife. To be lied to all this time to the woman he vowed to love forever.

To his mother, Ezekiel's face would change into a smile as to show nothing was wrong at all.

"I just need to write a simple letter about a trip I'm going to need to take, that's all."

The door closed behind his back as he began to write.

Knowing those things and how the result came was more trouble than he thought that could ever be.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Now that all were at the top of the cliff, the cast could be seen in their swimsuits and a Chris Mclean all dressed up as he use to be so many years ago. Hair was a bit grayer than it use to be. Looking to Noah in particular he grinned rather widely.

"Noah, you brought something to my attention yesterday that you guys might not but as in shape as you use to be. So I thought that maybe I'd come up for a challenge that could help you guys whip into shape just a bit more."

"But how is jumping off and cliff and making a hot tub going to help us do that Chris? Lindsay asked.

"Surprisingly, that would be a good question, if you were doing the hot tub part." Chris answered.

Confession cam

Lindsay

"Oh, it was at this time I was getting really excited. I knew I could use the time I exercise three hours a day 5 days a week and be great at this challenge. I'm really worried about Owen though."

Courtney

"Great, the one guy we don't need in this challenge, and not only if he blows it for us, we can't vote him off for the next two lost challenges by our team."

Trent

"Well, if the big guy can do the dive once, he can do it again. It's the exercise part that really worries me."

Owen

"Well, here is the thing; I need these kinds of challenges to help out my goal this season. Even though I just got started, Izzy and I both agreed I need to stay in this as long as possible. I'll do my best and I will not quit."

End of session

"But before I even get into that there is one problem. See Justin and Courtney, and I knew this in the beginning, should have been on the other teams." said Chris.

"What!" went most of the twenty two contestants.

"Yeah, and since no one wanted them, your two teams are still stuck with them. So Owen, Heather, chose a person of the opposite sex to join the other team. They can't be your first pick or Justin and Courtney."

Confession cam

Duncan

"It was in the contract believe it or not. That's how I knew."

End of session

After about a minute of thinking Chris broke it up and made them chose. Every guy wants right now to leave the team including DJ though he couldn't and no girl wanted to leave except for Courtney, who also could not do so.

"So Heather, who did you pick?"

"I'm going to have to go with the one guy who did not want to do any physical activity then and thus most likely won't do it now, Noah."

Noah said nothing and walked over to the other side. Cody on the other hand was about the scream. What he thought he was getting, now he is not.

"And now, what about you Owen? Who did you pick?"

"Well, I had to look at my team and who would help me to win today the least and sorry Beth, that's you."

"It's ok Owen." with that she went off to the other side.

"Wait, why pick her? She is in shape now." Courtney demanded.

"Yeah, now, but I'm thinking more long term for this move."

"Idiot!" She responded with anger. Owen took it with a grain of sand.

"Okay, now that that is over and done with I can tell you what each of you are doing. As I said, you will all be taking a dive down this monster cliff; it's shark free today folks. (Deep sighs could be heard all about.) What you will also need to do when you swim back to shore all on your own, you will need to take to good old famous 20k run around the island, all by yourself. Then you must make it back up the cliff and then the next teammate can go and do the same thing. If you cheat, we have cameras and we will know and all cheaters will be eliminated and forced into doing another season of this show next year. That's right when you are older. You have to love the almighty contracts."

All the moans and groans could be heard from each member of the cast. Not only would this be a long challenge that you had to rely on everyone, but would Katie really have to do this.

"And Katie, since you can't run on your own or swim really, you will not perform in this challenge and will be immune this one time from being eliminated. But someone else from your team will have to do the same thing twice. So think it over well guys.

"Well hey this is a good thing for us. Izzy is in great shape. You can do it babe right?"

"Uh huh! Oh yeah! I can pretend it was like that one time were we had to make out and run from those giant scorpions."

The cast mates, including Chris looked shocked at this.

"Oh relax; I and Owen had done it three times without making out. We thought it would be a challenge to do it blindfolded. And what better way to be blind?"

Confession cam

Noah

"Yeah, did not need to picture that."

End of session

"So now we will give you five minute to set your order. One more thing, captains go first."

The two teams huddled up together and made their orders after their respective captains. No drama was really set in this. If this was on TV, the faces of who was going where could be seen.

For the Old Timers (Owens' team) It went Owen, Izzy, Izzy (because that is just how she is.), Courtney, Cody, Tyler, Trent, Leshawna, Noah, Ezekiel and Lindsay.

As for the Golden Oldies (Heather's team) the order is Heather, Eva, Duncan, Sadie, Geoff, Beth, Justin, Bridgette, Harold, Gwen and DJ.

"Well then, are the teams ready to get this on!?"

"NO!" so went the mass response from everyone.

"Well, such a shame. Your challenge starts NOW!"

Heather immediately dived down to the bottom giving no signs of stress for her team. Owen on the other hand was getting some Shady looks for not jumping when he should.

"So are you going or not boy?" Leshawna said looking at him with an annoyed glare.

"Yeah, since we can't vote you off yet, you better not ruin it for the rest of us." Said the Prime Minister.

"Uh yeah, I know I did that back then but right after the challenge, the fear hit me like a ton of bricks, so you know, I don't think I can do it." Owen said with a small smile as his whole team started to push him over. Heavy as he was, ten people were going to get him over the ledge pretty easy.

Owen yells with fear of death as he was falling. Heather just rising up from the water was shocked to see three hundred pounds of Owen was about to land on top of her, which it did.

The hit plus the pressure of the water set her to shore like the sharks did the first time Owen took on this endeavor. Heather, not being as big as a shark could not take the head on blow and be conscious during the whole thing and was knocked out at sea.

Chef was near the beach saw everything and went to check out the girl to see if she was alright.

"I'm so sorry! Is she going to be alright!" chef just nodded and the large man went around the beach with a jog, he still had a 20k run to do.

Meanwhile up on the cliff.

"Hey Chris, since Heather can't compete, can't we just have someone go twice?" DJ asked the host.

"Sorry dude, you are just going to have to wait until she wakes up, if she does. The OT's (Old Timers) manage to get all eleven runners back here before that, well then you lose, that's all there is to it." Chris said with his oh so evil charm. The GO's (Golden Oldies) look down and depressed while all the OT's cheered in success. Maybe it was a good thing Owen didn't jump right away.

Meanwhile where the contest was going on, Heather was stuck knocked out.

Meanwhile, where the contest was REALLY going on, Owen had gone only one of the 20k run so far. He was now crawling on his knees trying to keep going. The vultures had come to watch this guy for what looked like to be his true swan song. They laughed and poked Owen with their claws. They were hungry and enjoy all the possible meat that could have from this one.

"Great Barrier reef, can't you birds go bother someone else? That's it; I'm not going to make it! Goodbye world!"

Owen laid flat on his back as he started to drift off into sleep unable to keep going. Before he could truly sleep the vision of his longtime girlfriend Izzy had appeared in the sunny sky. A giant Izzy appears in the sky and it starts to talk.

"Hey big O, I know you got more than that. You need to kick it in high gear and win it for the team. Come on big boy you can do it."

"But Izzy, I can't move anymore up there. And I'm so hungry I could eat anything right now."

"DJ is making lunch for the teams back at the cliff. Ribs sandwiches with extra barbecue sauce. One of your favorites."

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Back at the top of the cliff DJ could be seen handing out many different types of sandwiches with the middle aged campers all enjoying the food with happiness and soon to be full bellies.

"Man, it only takes one day of Chef's food to love DJ's half to death. It's a good thing you can't leave like on Total drama action." Duncan said in between chewing.

"And how, I wish you could have been chef this year." Sadie said as they all took it in bite after bite. Even Chris could be seen enjoying an egg salad sandwich.

"If Chef wasn't under contract to cook for your guys, I'd hire this guy."

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Owen had seen the vision of everyone eating without him which was true. Owen simply got to his feet and stood that for a minute. The vision of Izzy no longer then he just stared out into space until…

"GIVE ME MY RIBS!!!"

The yell was so loud it could be heard even on the cliff tops.

Owen sweated his legs tired, but for food he did not quit. The big guy wouldn't stop until he made it all the way through the 20k at top speed and up the hill. It took him two hours to do the first two. Then it took him another 3 to finish.

His legs taken a beating, he lands on the ground on his back panting heavily. The rest of the cast looked at him. When he was running up hill he looked like a boulder that wouldn't stop. Everyone got out of his way fearing for life including Eva.

"Oh God let me at those ribs!" He said in between breaths.

"Izzy told me that's what you would want." DJ said as he tossed the sandwich perfectly into the mouth of Owen.

Confession cam

Gwen

"Who was expecting him to finish so fast? It took us almost the whole day to finish the last time; well, it did for those who were at the back of the pack."

"How did he know there was food up here?"

Harold

"Since Heather was knocked out it got me to thinking as to what out team should do. If we can't win, we might as we know who we are going to vote off."

End of session

_____________________________________________________________________________________

The GO's looked below to see if there was any sign of Heather getting up anytime soon. It didn't look good right now. That's when Harold started to speak.

"Hey guys, I was just thinking, since we can't vote off Heather, who would we vote off?"

The rest of the Golden Oldies did look at each other for an answer that none of them could come up with. They were all so lost as to vote off. Not too many problems with people in the crowd with their teammates; well there was one.

"The sooner I don't have to deal with you the better." Bridgette voiced up toward Duncan whom of course sides with Courtney in the relationship problems they have.

"I know that you have your views on that past, but that has nothing to do with the game. Duncan is the best player we really have when you look back at things."

"But he was shot in the chest and is athletically slowed down this time around. There is no way he can be as good as he was then."

"Hey you think I'm going to let you ruin this for me. This isn't about differences with me. This is about my girls' future which your friend says she won't support because of me."

Bridgette stumbled on that. She paused to realize even though she hates Duncan, would she be that cold that she wouldn't help her daughter go to school. That would be low.

"I'm, not sure I'd believe she would do that."

"Well believe it." Duncan said walking off in the other direction.

"Well, what say the rest of you?" Harold asked.

"It's going to be tough… but I think I'd have to vote off Justin." Beth said.

"What? Why me?"

"Because other than Heather, who else would have a good chance of ruining our team?"

Justin looked down with a sad expression, though it was difficult to gather through deformed face. Not too many people felt bad for Justin since they all knew what he did to Beth which is why she might feel more hurt about what he did, rather than anything that Heather ever did. Justin knew this and knew that she would be a problem for him through the whole challenge like Bridgette to Duncan.

Time had passed and the sun had faded into night. Right as Izzy had finished her second turn, she immediately dived right back into the water, not taking a break to rest.

"That's just how the love of my life is." So called the leader of the Old Timers to the whole group."

Heather's problem hadn't improved in any way. Courtney had just rounded out her turn and Cody had just started to dive when sounds could be heard below the cliff. An unpaid intern was looking over Heather as she laid still. She finally began the stir with blurry morning vision. It took her a minute to adjust to the fact that it was now night.

"What, where am I?" asked Heather as she heard footsteps behind her that belonged to Cody.

"The game is still going, but there is no way your team can catch up now. I'm the 5th person up and you still have to go 20 kilometers to finish yourself. Then your whole team still needs to go." Cody finished and jogged off but not before saying. "Be lucky you are immune.

Cody was right; she was immune from being eliminated. That she was grateful for. But how lucky could she be to manipulate whoever of the remaining nine teammates still in the game when the team loses for the third time? She wasn't the same brat to think they would fall for getting rid of her again after more or less ruining the challenge for them. All she could hope was someone slipping up for the other side. That was the only hope she had.

Heather started to stretch along the ground to get ready. She exercised quite a lot, but never did a 20k before. No doubt Cody would struggle as well as Noah and Leshawna. There could still be time.

When off and running after a good ten minute stretch, she caught and easily passed the internet game maker and jogged at a pace that made it easy to keep give her team a chance to catch up.

"It doesn't matter if she passes me, no way will she win it for her team."

_____________________________________________________________________________________

"Heather is gone!" Yelled Harold whom was still awake after it being passed 11 at night. Most of the team had fallen asleep on the ground outside of Eva, Duncan, and Bridgette. The other team had all its members up and running considering there was a chance their turn would come. Later runners like Lindsay and Ezekiel were about to rest, but now they were all up and looking over to the cliff.

"It's about time." Eva said pissed off. "I was scared I'd be voted off early for no good reason like last time."

"Why? Everyone seems to agree with Beth on the Justin thing." Leshawna said with a yawn looking down the former model in his sleep.

"It's just, sometimes you can never be sure."

"Well that MP3 business was pretty bad Eva. You made the whole team feel unsafe. You may not have been the biggest of us, but you certainly scared pretty much all of us." Bridgette said with a frown.

"I wasn't scared." Duncan added.

Eva had her whole attention on Bridgette.

"You are still and traitor to me, so I'd suggest keeping away from me." Eva said darkly with death glares at the surfing goddess.

Bridgette not being the natural fighter that she is turned scared and tried to back off from Eva's advancing steps only to have Geoff suddenly conscious and in front of her wife, but he wasn't alone. Who else was there watching Geoff's back put her into a state of shock. It was Duncan.

"You know, I'm sick of all the letters you send to my wife and your threats, you really need to take a chill pill and deal with the fact that you and my wife had nothing going on. So why is she the traitor after the insane incident you took with her?"

Because your wife, yeah her, she was suppose to be in an alliance with me!" Eva shouted. Not only did the whole crowd wake up to her mighty yell, the all turned to Eva in shock.

"Is it true?" Courtney asked.

"Yes…" And then she began to explain what really went down between Eva and Bridgette in the first season of Total Drama.

After the incident with Ezekiel and his sexist comments Eva needed to cool off so she decided to take out all of her pain out on a nearby tree. Bridgette also took her time to chill out and focus on the water. Being as she was, the look of the sea would always calm her. Sadly, this polluted lake would have to work. It wasn't quite as effective and the sounds of something getting hit was really getting on her nerves. She just had to get off her feet and see what was doing this.

It was to her sad sight the Eva was clashing with a tree and she showed no signs of quitting. It killed Bridgette on the inside for the tree's sake. Even as intimidating as this girl was, she would have to confront her.

She approached Eva knowing full well saying what she was going to say could provoke a massive beating, but it was for the trees.

"Hey how would you like it if you were a tree and some girl was taking out your rage on you?"

"I'd most likely would do nothing. For I am a tree and I can't move to chase a human." Eva remarked back.

"Well that still doesn't mean you can just walk around hitting any other plant life to. They are living things after all."

"But it's a tree, meaning that it can take the blows really without protest."

"Well why not hit a pillow or something?"

Eva show her what happened to a pillow she was hitting. The pillow did not fair too well after a few of Eva's hits sadly.

"It's that kid. He thinks he's going to tell me I'm weak just because I'm a girl? I put up with that too much in life. I worked twice as hard as any boy I have ever known to be as strong as I am. So I'm sorry if a tree has to take the blow for my own issues right now."

"Well, why not just have us talk to the other boys about getting rid of him? And since you are such a strong competitor, you and I could maybe team up?" Bridgette suggested.

Now Bridgette wasn't on for dark deals such as this, but at the time she though Eva was controllable if she had a friend in the game. Eva did agree that someone while not that strong, she was athletic enough to team up with. Her first choice would have been DJ, but he showed signs of fear of her already. Duncan looked like he had enough problems and Geoff didn't look like the competitor as she thought.

Funny, he made it to the final six…

They both agreed to the plan and from that point on it would be an agreement to have them both in the final two and win Total Drama Island.

But it was a dream way too far off from impossible…

Eva's rage over an MP3 sealed her fate, though she didn't know it, she thought the whole camp voted for her, which included Bridgette in the mix. However, Bridgette was the only one that didn't and instead voted for Harold. She stayed true to her alliance although short lived as it is, a promise was a promise.

In fact throughout the whole camp Bridgette soundly fought for Eva to stay Geoff might have been to only other person not to vote for Eva. Duncan and Courtney didn't even give it a thought to change their minds. Katie and Sadie being one mind were in the same boat. DJ thought about it, but in the end decided it was best to put all his fears to rest. In the end on Bridgette's and Eva own votes only differed from the person whom was voted off second from the Killer Bass which happened to be who everyone expected it to be.

I Bridgette's case, she couldn't be too sad about it. She did everything she could to save her. It's just Eva never knew.

Since their time on Total Drama, Bridgette has tried time after time to convince Eva otherwise but nothing changed a thing. After TDA and everyone went their separate ways, whether that meant they went on to perform on more seasons or be shoved off to the side and back to normal life as Chris Mclean scored off more and more unlucky teens for as long as he could.

"And that's what lead to this. All these years, I didn't vote you off then. Other than yourself I may as well been the only one." Bridgette said sadly.

"Wow," Owen started. "If they were able to keep that up, I may have never won that Season."

"A lot of us might have not gotten as far as we did with an alliance like that put in place so quick." Duncan said.

"Heather's alliance was not even put into place until the second challenge." Beth said.

"So wait, you really did not vote for me after the Awake-A-Thon?" Eva turned to look at a tired Bridgette nodding over to Eva.

Confession cam

Eva

"So much wasted anger over the years, all pinned on the wrong person… it makes me want to, but I can't, I…" She then starts to cry in her own hands for what was the first time in a long time. "I had many reasons to be angry, but this was not one of them. I know that now."

She then regains he composer and looks back into the camera with the same fierce Eva-like way.

"If you think that does not make me tough, just wait, now I just need to point my rage at two other people. They are justified and I will make sure they don't leave this island happy. Believe it or not, Courtney is not one of them."

End of session

It was then everyone seemed to be getting along quite a deal better but then once voice kind of ruined the whole reuniting, Heather.

"Hey there, you know Duncan it's your turn now."

Duncan just shrugged and went diving down as he was the second person to now go for the GO's. It would be a long race if it was this late. Most of the back runners who might have to wait another day to run like DJ, Lindsay and Noah were fast asleep and resting.

Heather was getting looks from her teammates over something she really couldn't control. And everything seemed to be going the way of the GT's. One can only wonder though how long that will last?

So what will happen? With the Golden oldies down 1 to four how can the possibly catch up.

Who is Eva thinking she needs to get revenge on now?

And how will they all fair running the course.

And of course, what new things will be seen of the casemates past. How will they all meet up and reveal something new.

Tune in next time (which I hope will take not nearly as long of a time.)
