Disclaimer: I do not own Total Drama.

CragmiteBlaster's Words of Wisdom: At long last, the final chapter! It has been such a long journey, over four years! But, I stuck to it and never gave up! Now to say goodbye to these guys … for now, at least. I'm just stunned that I actually managed to get this story done. Not much else to say! Enjoy the epilogue!

… You're still here?

It was the third day that the kids were spending at Disney World. Truly, it was the time of their young lives and, win or lose, the show had changed them in some way, whether in a big way, or even just a little bit. Currently, they were all; finding ways to enjoy their after-show-vacation. After all, that wasn't to enjoy about Disney World?

Dexter was in one of the bathrooms, having a good time. Toilets were flooded, roles of toilet paper were everywhere and he looked on in pride. He was chanting to himself.

"Bathrooms are love, bathrooms are life."

"Bathrooms are love, bathrooms are life."

"Bathrooms are love, bathrooms are life."

"Bathrooms are love, bathrooms are life."

"Bathrooms are love, bathrooms are life."

Cuthbert, Vicky and Penny were hanging around in Frontier Land. The two girls were playing around on a shooting range while Cuthbert babbled to them.

"We were all RAWBED! Well, mainly just me because you two are motherless curs. However, if we join forces next season, we'll show those big meanies who is boss! We'll be the robbed alliance!" Yelled Cuthbert in a painfully shrill voice. "Now, are you in or are you in?!"

Vicky and Penny did not respond. They just focused on the shooting range.

"Hey! I'm talking to you! I wanna be acknowledge! I WANNA BE ACKNOWLEDGED!" Screamed Cuthbert, stomping his feet.

The girls continued to ignore Cuthbert. He looked very red in the face with anger.

"If you do not turn around right now I am gonna tell on you!" Roared Cuthbert.

Shockingly, even after such a terrible threat, the girls did not turn around.

"… You're both poo heads! I'm gonna get some ice cream!" Whined Cuthbert as he stomped off.

Once Cuthbert was gone the girls both giggled.

"You were right, ignoring the baddies makes them even more punished than hitting them about." Noted Penny.

"Thou shalt be wise to listen to me." Smirked Vicky.

"… Maybe I will from now on. Knights have a good code." Agreed Penny.

"Thou is making me blush-eth." Giggled Vicky.

Penny just smirked.

"Wanna have another round? I'll beat you this time!" Declared Penny.

"It shalt be a duel!" Declared Vicky.

And so the two inserted quarters into the shooting range and began to play again laughing as they did so.

In a restaurant, Albert and Elvira sat across from each other. They had ordered the most fancy and complex food, and the hardest to make drink, and were delighting in how much frustration and confusion they had caused the staff members. Best of all, it was all free!

"We are such snobs." Giggled Elvira.

"Eet eez a fact." Agreed Albert.

"I bet the kitchen staff hate us." Smirked Elvira.

"Zen let zem. Eet just shows zat are too classy for zem to keep up with." Replied Albert.

"Your food, sir and madam." Said a tired looking waiter as he set down some extremely fancy soup in front of the snobby couple.

Both kids winked and took out thermometers and set them into the soup.

"… Zis eez unacceptable. Zee soup eez too cold." Stated Albert.

"Send it back and try again." Added Elvira

"This is the fifth time!" Complained the waiter.

"Zee customer eez always eight." Said Albert smugly.

"The handsome man is right, and you know it." Added Elvira.

The waiter sighed but nevertheless did as he was asked and took the food back. Albert and Elvira laughed quietly.

"… I'm not actually hungry at all." Noted Albert.

"Me neither." Agreed Elvira, giggling.

"I am!" Yelled Lars from a nearby table. "My cheeseburger is taking #bleep# forever to get here because you guys keep sending your back to be cooked again! Stop it!"

Albert and Elvira both just giggled snobbishly.

Lars retaliated by tossing two open bottles of ketchup at the snobs.

Two screams were heard all around the theme park.

Morton was watching TV in the foyer area of the hotel. He was watching reruns of Tween Tour with a smile on his face.

"I got on TV. My life is now complete." Stated Morton. "I'm watching myself watch TV … that's so hella meta."

Darby walked in, zig-zagging sleepily as she held up a large amount of Disney merchandise.

"Aren't you gonna go and enjoy the park? It's really cool and stuff." Said Darby, yawning a little.

"TV is better." Stated Morton.

"Well, I can't judge, I've slept a lot since getting here." Shrugged Darby as she flopped down on an unoccupied sofa. "I'm gonna take a nap, and then head to Splash Mountain..."

"I saw that on TV once." Noted Morton.

"I saw it in real life." Yawned Darby.

There were a few moments of silence.

"I'll miss you. You the were the only person here who got me." Admitted Morton, not breaking his gaze from the TV.

Darby managed to tiredly smile.

"I'll miss you too. Your quietness helped me get some extra sleep. I actually feel well rested for once." Yawned Darby.

"… This is you well rested?" Asked Morton, raising an eyebrow.

"I know, I know, it's hard to see." Shrugged Darby. "… What's on TV?"

"Storage pirates. People dress up as pirates and steal from pawn shops." Stated Morton.

"Sounds fun." Said Darby with a sleepy smile.

There were a few moments of silence.

Jade then jumped out from behind the sofa and zapped herself with her tazer.

"ZAPPITY-ZAP-ZAP!" Gigged Jade.

"Sshhhh!" Frowned Morton.

"That he said." Yawned Darby.

"Oh, sorry." Apologised Jade.

Jade sat down quietly, lightly blushing as she glanced at Darby.

"WOOOOOOOO!" Cheered Henry.

"YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAH!" Cheered Sophie.

The two kids cheered in excitement as they rode in a helicopter flying in a set route over Disney Land.

"This is amazing! Such great craftsmanship! Truly a great helicopter!" Yelled Henry in delight.

"I can see my house from up here!" Bellowed Sophie, clapping her hands.

"You know Sophie, in a way I am glad I lost." Admitted Henry.

"Really? Why?" Asked Sophie curiously.

"Money corrupts, and if I won I may have ended up like that fool Dexter." Admitted Henry. "No, what really matters…

…

…

…

…

…

is being able to fly like a king in a helicopter."

"You said it!" Agreed Sophie.

And so the two kids flew on, laughing and cheering as they went.

Bea and Winter were both standing at the top of Splash Mountain in their swimsuits. Winter looked nervous.

"It's a long way down." Murmured Winter.

"It'll be fun!" Insisted Bea. "Besides, don't tell me #bleep# you've not overcome bigger #bleep# things. You were a machine!"

"Oh, I wasn't that good." Blushed Winter.

"Me and Tony think you were, and I am #bleep# sure Benjamin does too. Come on girl, have some #bleep# confidence!" Smiled Bea.

"Well … I did better than I thought possible." Admitted Winter, smiling. "Well, ok then. I can do this! Mama and Mother would want me to enjoy my time here … and, well … thrills do have an appeal to them sometimes..."

"That's the spirit." Winked Bea. "Let's go on three."

Winter nodded in agreement, but for some reason had a sly grin.

"One … two … WAAAAAAAH!" Yelped Bea.

Winter had playfully shoved Bea, sending the tomboy down the slide at full speed to the bottom She spat out some water and shook her fist at Winter.

"Meanie!" Yelled Bea, even though she was laughing really.

"I learnt from the best!" Called Winter, before she jumped onto the slide. "WHEEEEEEEE!"

Bea smiled proudly.

"I #bleep# taught her well." Chuckled Bea.

"WOOOOHOOOOO!" Cheered Tony, throwing his arms up.

"YEAH!" Cheered Benjamin, holding onto his hat.

Benjamin and Tony were both riding on the Seven Dwarf's Mine Train. Both of them were having a great time thus far.

"Best holiday ever!" Exclaimed Tony.

"I'm just surprised Chris paid for us to all spend the week here. Whoa!" Yelped Benjamin, before laughing in cheer.

"It's very fitting we're on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, right?" Giggled Tony.

"How do you figure that?" Asked Benjamin.

"I'm Dopey and you're Grumpy!" Teased Tony.

Benjamin pouted, trying not to laugh.

"Hey, I am not grumpy! I'm pretty darn happy!" Insisted Benjamin.

"You're grumpy compared to me! Heehee!" Giggled Tony. "WOOOOO!"

Benjamin rolled his eyes, but smiled as the ride reached it's peak.

"Anybody would be grumpy when placed next to you, buddy." Admitted Benjamin, chuckling.

Gareth, Amy, Suki and Ted were sitting on a bench together, all enjoying the sweet and bright pink cotton candy.

"This is the best week ever." Remarked Ted as he took a big bite out of his cotton candy. "I can't get enough of this stuff."

"Same. I know it's sugary and will probably induce diabetes … but screw it, it's tasty!" Giggled Suki as she licked the cotton candy, smiling at the lovely flavour of it.

"You said it Suks. It looks like pink, smells like pink and tastes like pink … what could be better?" Asked Amy in glee.

"I really have no idea." Admitted Suki.

"I know what could be better." Declared Ted.

"And what might that be?" Asked Suki as she turned to face Ted.

She was met with a kiss to the lips. Suki shrugged to herself and enjoyed the smooch. The two parted and laughed. For them, the contest really had no regrets.

Amy smiled at this, and then turned to Gareth.

"How are you liking your cotton candy, honey buns?" Asked Amy, grinning.

"It's really nice." Admitted Gareth as he took a heart bite and swallowed it. "But, I have come to a realization."

"What's that?" Asked Amy curiously.

"Despite the fact you have been calling me 'honey buns', I have not, in fact, ever tasted any honey buns in my lfie. Quite the conundrum, don't you think?" Asked Gareth.

"OMG! You're right! Ok, here is what we shall do: you're coming to my house once this week is over, your family too, and you are going to eat some honey buns. That all good?" Asked Amy, looking very serious indeed.

"Crystal clear." Smirked Gareth.

At that moment a park worker dressed in a Donald Duck costume walked by, holding a tray of honey buns. Amy paused … and then took out a hundred dollar bill and a credit card from her pockets.

"Wait up Donald! Do you take cash or credit?!" Asked Amy dramatically.

The mascot saw the pink blur approaching him and, with a scream, ran off with Amy in hot pursuit.

Gareth chuckled warmly.

"That's my girl." Smirked Gareth.

Gareth then noticed something written on the bench. After glancing at it he laughed, for this is what it said.

'Otis Wuz Here'

Bonnie skipped through the park, a smile on her face. She had just ridden on Space Mountain three times, and was planning on trying her luck on some of the sideshows.

"This is the best summer ever!" Cheered Bonnie. "I just wish the entire season had take place here!"

But Bonnie's gleeful expression soon turned to concerned as she saw Vinsun sitting on a bench looking depressed. Bonnie walked over to him and cautiously sat down next to him.

"Are you ok Vinsun?" Asked Bonnie.

Vinsun did not respond.

"… Would you like me to get you some cotton candy?" Offered Bonnie.

"… Why?" Sighed Vinsun.

"Well, it's tasty and I think you could do with some cheering up." Replied Bonnie softly.

"No, I mean … why did I think auditioned was I good idea? I have no good memories of this show. None." Muttered Vinsun, his eyes narrowing a little.

Bonnie was not sure what to say.

"I was pushed around, treated like dirt, physically hurt, the girl I liked went crazy, another girl I liked chose somebody else. All that I have gained is a painful realization of just how bad the world really is." Muttered Vinsun, pulling his stetson hat over his face a little bit.

"… But, Craig won. He's a nice person." Insisted Bonnie. "And, you do have good memories. You met Ramona, me, Craig, Emily … you have friends."

Vinsun stood up silently and shook his head.

"How how I know you're not all as bad as Edgar?" Scowled Vinsun. "I'm done. I'm just … done. The world is a horrid place outside the family farm … and now … now I have to deal with knowing that."

Vinsun walked away with nothing more to say. Bonnie wanted to call for him, she wanted to hug him, she wanted to tell him it would all be ok.

Instead, she sat helplessly on the bench, a tear trickling down her face.

At an outdoor café Edgar was pigging out on ice cream. Many empty bowls of the stuff were all around him. He looked fatter than ever.

"Ooooooooohhhhhhhhh..." Moaned Edgar in delight from the flavour.

Without a car in the world Edgar snorted like a pig and resumed stuffing his face.

Dil and Natasha were driving a kart in Tomorrow Land. Dil sat in the drivers seat, making sure to go fast, while Natasha sat on his shoulders, cheering and spreading out her arms to feel the air rush past her.

"I feel so alive!" Cheered Natasha. "I love cars!"

"Don't you own one outside the show?" Asked Dil.

"Nope, just a snowmobile, and even then we do not use it very often." Replied Natasha. "Let's double dash while we can!"

"Yeah, right on! We still have over half a week left; let's shift it into high gear!" Cheered Dil.

Dil mimed shifting gears much to Natasha's amusement.

"I'm gonna miss you Dil, I really am." Admitted Natasha.

"I'll miss you too Natz. But I'll come visit, swearsies. You'll visit me too, right?" Replied Dil, smiling.

"Oh, you better believe it." Smirked Natasha. "… Gasp!"

"What is it?!" Exclaimed Dil.

"Oil slick!" Wailed Natasha.

The kart ran over an oil slick and span around, making the two best friends wail in both terror and joy.

Emily sat at a desk in her hotel room, looking very nervous. Ramona had been comforting her and, to her surprise … she had received an email.

An email from Sabina.

Her cousin has awoken and started to recover, and had requested a Skype chat. Emily may have been a smart kid on paper, but in this situation she had no idea what to do. She just stared at the call icon on the screen of the laptop. Ramona stood by her, a hand on her friend's shoulder.

"If she wants to make amends, you should try to meet her halfway." Insisted Ramona. "She still loves you. Don't you love her?"

"I do, but … drugs … and she did get into a fight with the dealers. I don't know if she's my cousin anymore." Mumbled Emily.

"You know she is." Said Ramona firmly.

"But what do I say?" Asked Emily.

"… Perhaps it's more about what Sabina will say. You can't go on with this eating up at you inside Em'. As cool as scary movies are … that sort of feeling is bad for you. Mama is wicked knowledgeable about brain stuff, and also about getting the facts. She's never spanked me without knowing full well I was guilty. The point is … she's still your cousin. I bet if you did drugs and were really naughty she'd still love you." Insisted Ramona. "… Please say yes. I don't want that monologue to go to waste."

"No, you're right … she would still love me. I … I should still love her too." Decided Emily. "Ok, I'll talk to her, but could you stand just off camera … for support?"

"Easy as peeing in the shower." Saluted Ramona.

"… Ew." Frowned Emily.

"Hey, the running water makes me need to go." Shrugged Ramona. "No stalling, click that call button missy."

Emily rolled her eyes … but still smiled as, with a bit of nervousness, she clicked on the call button.

For a few moments all was silent.

Suddenly the screen lit up and showed the nervous face of a girl aged about nineteen. She looked like an older version of Emily, except her hair was black and her eyes were hazel.

"Hello Emily." Said Sabina quietly.

"Hello … Sabina." Said Emily nervously.

For a few moments all was silent. Ramona coughed awkwardly.

"I'm sorry Emily. I've failed as your cousin." Sniffled Sabina in shame. "I didn't what you to know … you may be smart, maybe smarter than me, but you're still a sweet kid. I didn't want you to get worried, or to be ashamed of me..."

"Why did you do drugs?" Asked Emily quietly.

"… Because I was very stupid. Unlike you, I am not a prodigy … I'm just a moron." Sighed Sabina. "My parents are really angry with me..."

"Mine are too. I went out of control in my 'crusade for vengeance'..." Admitted Emily.

"That's my fault. I shouldn't have done it … of course you'd get involved. You're my favourite cousin … always will be." Said Sabina quietly.

"This is awkward … it may take time for things to go back to normal." Admitted Emily.

Sabina slowly nodded in agreement.

"But … if it means anything to you, I'll be going to rehab to get this sorted. I was in a bad way … I was in withdrawal and low on money … I just lost control. I tried to attack them, but they were stronger..." Said Sabina, looking haunted. "Nothing could justify it, and I am scared of rehab, but … I just keep telling myself 'do it for Emily', and it all feels a little easier."

"… You really are still my cousin, no matter what." Whispered Emily. "Um, I'm at Disney World right now, so … I'll be sure to get you a souvenir. Everything is free for us."

"… Could you get me a Goofy Plushie?" Asked Sabina hopefully.

"Only for you … you silly goof." Smiled Emily.

The two cousins continued to talk, slowly but surely building their bond back up, and Ramona smiled.

"Awwwww, family moment." Thought Ramona.

Ling and Pablo were walking through Tarzan's treehouse. Pablo stood at the base of one of the trees, while Ling was making her way to the top of one of them.

"Um, Ling? I am ninety percent sure that is against the rules." Warned Pablo.

"Well, what can I say, this show turned me into a common criminal." Smirked Ling.

"Well, if you're not careful you may break the law of gravity." Giggled Pablo.

"Oh, I'll be fine. I've done this a load of times back home." Assured Ling. "In fact, you should come on up. We'd be sitting in a tree and K-I-S-S-I-N-WAAAH!"

Ling had lost her grip and fell downwards … right into Pablo's arms.

"Looks like you still need some practise." Noted Pablo.

"This show has been practise in a way … practise for life in general. I saw the world outside my home … and I love it." Smiled Ling. "Thanks for catching me."

"No problem." Assured Pablo as he prepared to set Ling down on her seat.

"Whoa, hey. Did I say that you could put me down. I like being carried." Giggled Ling.

Pablo could only laugh.

Over in Frontier Land Robbie and Terrence were both playing on one of the shooting galleries. Both had looks of intense focus on their faces. Karrie was nearby, petting Frightful and cheering Robbie on. Soon enough the game came to an end and Terrence cheered while Robbie groaned.

"I win again!" Smirked Terrence.

"That's the tenth game in a row, how do you keep beating me?" Complained Robbie.

"Psychic powers..." Said Terrence ominously.

Robbie looked like he was seriously considering this possibility.

"… Nah, I'm just kidding. You're holding the gun totally wrong, and I've done shooting galleries for years." Chuckled Terrence. "Just a matter of practise."

"S, you hold guns a lot, huh? Does your mother know?" Asked Robbie, giggling.

Terrence paused, and then sighed as he put the gun down.

"I am going to go and cry myself to sleep now." Declared Terrence.

Robbie winced, looking guilty, but soon chuckled when he saw Terrence had only been joking as he was going to get some cotton candy. Seeing this, Robbie sat down next to Karrie and petted frightful.

"It feels strange, going home." Noted Robbie.

"It is. But, I had a wonderful time on this show. I made it to the top twenty, I saw some amazing things, I met you … and I have overcame my phobia of birds. Best summer ever!" Exclaimed Karrie.

"I quite agree. Not a bad season at all." Smiled Robbie. "And, since this may be the last time the world sees us on TV for a long time, perhaps we should close out on … a joke."

"I'm all ears Robster." Winked Karrie.

Robbie blushed, and smiled.

"Why do people enjoy making potato puns?" Asked Robbie.

"I don't know. Why?" Asked Karrie.

"… Because people find them apeeling! Get it?" Joked Robbie.

Karrie began to laugh loudly and soon Robbie joined in. Frightful almost seemed to roll her eyes for a moment.

Molly skipped out from Space Mountain, a smile on her face, while Jethro followed behind her, looking rather ill.

"That was amazing!" Exclaimed Molly. "So many sights and sounds! Let's go again!"

"NO! Let's not go again!" Moaned Jethro as he collapsed onto a bench.

Molly looked concerned and sat down next to Jethro.

"Don't you like roller coasters?" Asked Molly.

"I'd never been on one before … but after that, I can officially say that I, in fact, do not like them." Said Jethro with a groan. "This must be karma."

"Hanging out with me is good karma! Um, I think? Christianity doesn't really have a karma system." Admitted Molly. "But, um, maybe we can ride something a little slower next?"

"Gladly." Replied Jethro. "Oh, by the way, do you see a bin anywhere?"

"Just over there. You doing your bit to keep God's Earth nice and green?" Smiled Molly.

"No, I want to be sick." Said Jethro flatly. "But, first … I feel really wobbly and crud after that ride. Can I brush you hair a little? It'd stop me going crazy."

Molly just smiled and nodded as she took off her hat, letting her long golden-blond hair flow free. She handed Jethro a brush she had gotten from a gift shop and so the brushing began. Soon both were smiling. Molly leaned into Jethro a little, enjoying this.

Jethro smiled.

Maybe there was some value to being good? He was sure Molly would show it to him.

At the Jungle Cruise, Oliver and Zora were sitting on a boat and enjoying the slow ride along the river.

"This is really nice. So relaxing, and after the tour, relaxation is what we all need. Especially those who made it to the finale." Mused Zora from her seat.

"I have to say, you're right. The slow speed combined with the sounds and those props … I think we should go on this ride again before we leave." Noted Oliver.

"Agreed. But remember, we have to ride on everything at least once." Declared Zora.

"I quite agree, and with all the time we have to spend here, we should manage it." Said Oliver confidently. "Oh look, a lion!"

"Nice. Though, it'd be nice if this ride was underwater and we could see dolphins, sharks and fish. Even a glass bottom boat would be nice." Mused Zora. "Still, for what it is … I love Disney Land!"

"I hope I can get autographs from all of the Disney princesses." Said Oliver gleefully.

"Who's your favourite?" Asked Zora curiously.

"Belle." Said Oliver automatically.

"Mine is … heheheh, I bet you can guess." Winked Zora.

"Hmmm … Snow White?" Asked Oliver in faux confusion.

"Oh, you." Chuckled Zora. "I sometimes think I am one of the only people who actually loved the Little Mermaid 2."

"… I liked it too. Melody was great." Smiled Oliver.

"Finally! Another!" Exclaimed Zora.

The two kids laughed as the boat continued to go down the river.

Jarvis and Pandora sat on a picnic blanket near Disney Castle, enjoying sweet snacks and the sunshine. Pandora was now wearing a light pink sun hat.

"Thanks for the hat Jarvis." Said Pandora quietly. "But, did you have to use real money when we get things for free?"

"I didn't have to, but I wanted to. It makes the gift worse more." Said Jarvis with a smile. "So, just a few more days and we'll be going home. I'll try to visit you as often as I possibly can … you said you're going to that specialist hospital?"

"It's for the best." Sighed Pandora. "I need serious help … I can't go on without it."

"Are you afraid?" Asked Jarvis gently.

"A little bit. But … this show, and you, taught me that I can really overcome anything. I'm tougher than I thought I was." Admitted Pandora. "In fact, now I know how a smile feels."

And sure enough, Pandora smiled … before giving Jarvis a quick kiss. Jarvis hugged her close with one arm, and raised the other.

"We have a good life ahead of us." Said Jarvis warmly. "PK Sparkles."

Sparkles rained down from Jarvis' hand onto Pandora, making her squirm and giggle from all the flashiness and sickliness of them. Both shy kids were soon laughing.

In a restaurant the interns were all enjoying themselves. Owen had a giant bowl of ice cream in front of him. Tyler glanced at his much smaller bowl, and pouted.

"Extreme appetite." Noted Tyler. "I feel outclasses."

"You know it." Giggled Owen.

"Bigger is always better." Purred Izzy from her seat next to Owen. "You eat that ice cream, big boy!"

"Oh, I will!" Grinned Owen.

Owen proceeded to eat the entire dessert, bowl and all.

"Mmmmmmm..." Moaned Owen, loving the flavour.

"Three … two … one..." Grinned Tyler.

"AAAAAH, ICE CREAM HEADACHE!" Wailed Owen, clutching his head.

"Whoa, nasty bro!" Noted Tyler.

"His brain may be cold, but his body …. yum,. So hot!" Purred Izzy.

Owen blushed, and this made the brain freeze lessen just a little.

Noah and Katie sat at a table together, talking pleasantly.

"So, what are you going to buy with the money that you won from the bet?" Asked Noah curiously.

"I've already spent it." Winked Katie.

"Oh really? On what?" Asked Noah.

At that moment Justin walked up in a maid outfit and set a pink smoothie down in front of Katie. Noah almost began to cry in laughter.

"Laugh all you want Noah, I still made more money off this show than you." Smirked Justin.

"At least I didn't get defeated by some kids." Retorted Noah.

"At least my forehead isn't the size of a cinderblock." Scoffed Justin.

"At least my chin isn't wrinkly." Scowled Noah.

"Egghead!"

"Meat man!"

"Nerd!"

"Pansy!"

"I ship it." Said Katie with a naughty grin.

At a different table Bridgette and Ezekiel were both eating salad. Ezekiel gazed at Noah's hamburger longingly.

"Eye's off the forbidden fruit Zekey." Smirked Bridgette.

"If it's froot, does that mean I can eat it, eh?" Asked Ezekiel hopefully.

"Nope. If this is gonna work out, well, meat is something you'd need to cut down on. Sorry." said Bridgette, rubbing her arm awkwardly.

Ezekiel pondered this, and then smiled.

"Easy enough, eh. I'm soor I can find a way. Besides, Lars kept his word and gave me five thousand dollars. If I am to never be on Total Drama ageen, I'm glad it ended oop nicely." Smiled Ezekiel, taking a bite out of the lettuce. "Hmm, needs some ketchup."

"It's always ketchup with you men, isn't it?" Smirked Bridgette.

At a different table Cameron and dawn sat across from each other. Cameron had a very small meal of chips in front of him,. Meanwhile Dawn had several plates of chips, three gigantic veggie burgers and an extra, extra, extra large vegan milkshake.

"Um..." Cameron trailed off.

"What? I'm hungry." Said Dawn with a cheerful shrug as she began to eat her feast.

Cameron glanced down at his own meal. Suddenly, he felt less hungry.

Megan sat alone in her room. She could here all of the laughter and cheer from outside, but she could not bring herself to go out there. She was too nervous and worried for what could happen.

"After all I did, I can't go out there." Whispered Megan.

Megan sighed and lay her head on the desk in her room.

"… Maybe I could order room service or something." Mumbled Megan. "At least Slender Junior will keep me company."

Megan hugged her Slenderman plushie closer, enjoying the soft feel of the fabric.

There was a knock at the door, and Megan tensed up. Who could it be? What did they want with her?

"Are you in there Megan?" Called Craig.

Megan hesitated, but then walked to the door and opened it up to let Craig in.

"What do you want?" Asked Megan quietly.

"I want two things. The first … is to know why you're not out there enjoying the park with the rest of us." Inquired Craig.

"… How can I? I can't forget what I did. Nobody else will. I don't deserve sympathy. I'm just a sociopath." Muttered Megan. "I just … I just don't know what to do, except hide in my room in shame. I bet mum is more ashamed of me than ever."

Craig hesitantly placed a hand on Megan's shoulder.

"We will Skype her later. I promise you, she loves you." Said Craig firmly.

"I know nothing about love." Muttered Megan.

"I once didn't either. But after this show, now I do. It's something you cannot force. Something you can't control. Something that causes pain. But, it's also a kind thing, a tender thing … a thing that can help people when they feel at their lowest … a thing that can surprise us all. Jarvis and Pandora. Winter and Tony. Molly and Jethro. They all know what love is." Said Craig warmly. "Nobody holds anything against you Megan. Yes, you were bad. Very bad."

Craig paused.

"… But what would shunning you achieve? Hmm? It'd just make the situation worse. You need the love and friendship you've never had." Said Craig, gently taking hold of Megan's hands. "Jethro, Edgar, Lars, Terrence, Cuthbert … they're all done bad things too, and while they may not all feel bad about it, they're still, you know, people as well. And you do feel bad, which puts you above some."

Megan smiled, taking all this in and feeling a little better.

"So … what was the second thing you wanted to know?" Asked Megan, looking shy.

Craig put on his most confident and winning smile. He winked.

"Wanna come to Space Mountain with me? We can call it a friendly outing, an excursion between pals … maybe a date?" Offered Craig. "You'll love it. I may have been wrong many, many, MANY times … but I never lied."

Megan was silent, shaking a little as she considered this.

"Will there be aliens?" Asked Megan.

"Only one way to find out. Won't you join me?" Winked Craig.

Megan smiled, really smiling. She even laughed. The two kids slowly reached their hands up, until they were holding hands. And with that, they exited the hotel room, ready for whatever awaited them outside the room.

They were enemies no longer.

(Bonus Scene)

It was a week after Total Drama Tween Tour. Currently Doctors and Nurses milled about in a hospital, making sure everything was going well and the patients were feeling ok. In one room, numbered 025, sat Lars. He sat on a chair besides a bed.

In the bed was a man in a coma he might never wake from.

Mr Dragmire.

Lars was talking to him, finishing up the story he had been telling him.

"-So, I gave Ezekiel the money I promised and after a weak in Disney Land I headed home. That's why I have not been here much recently." Recounted Lars. "Pandora urged me to try and make amends with mum … I tried, and … things are going a little better now."

Lars paused. He knew he'd get no response, but he hoped that his dad could still here him.

"… I wish I had you back dad. I miss you so much..." Sniffled Lars. "Emily is so lucky … it's not fair! Why does she get her cousin back, but I don't get you back!? Why…?"

Lars hung his head and was silent for a few minutes.

"I did a lot of bad things on the show … I've done many bad things off the show … it led to serious pain in the finale. I … I have decided … from now on, I am going to try and be a better person." Decided Lars. "I'll fix up the vandalism and graffiti, make some apologies … I could have won if I were nicer. But now … I'll make you proud … I'll be the son I used to be long ago..."

Lars climbed onto the bed and gave his dad a big hug.

"I love you dad. And, starting from the moment I exit the room … I'll be a changed person." Vowed Lars.

Lars took a deep breath … and walked out of the room, and out of the life of bullying and cruelty.

Mr Dragmire lay comatose and still. For a brief moment, he twitched.

"L-l-lars..." Said Mr Dragmire quietly from within his coma.

THE END

With that, the curtains close on bar none the LONGEST story in the entire Total Drama Fan Base (for now). What started as a goofy story of kids going around the world ended up as so much more, with dark complex plots, tear jerking happenings and characters developing in ways that I had never felt possible when I had started. Truly, I have grown up with this story and gone from a kid to a man, in a way.

It was super hard to write this story, I'll admit. Due to the surplus number of characters in it, it was hard to write scenes at times due to just how many people there were. Thus, some characters (mostly the early boots) were filler and neglected. But, this lesson has been learned and will not be the case in the future.

For now my plan is simple. After I write my traditional after-season journal on DA, I'll be having Letter Starz as my main project, with CvC on the side. The main idea is to get Letter Starz to the end of the first island and then write CvC until the first elimination round is done. After that, I'll just stick with Letter Starz 90% of the time. Hope that plan suits you all!
