"Last time on Total Drama Island…" We all know the drill at this point. "The teams were dissolved, leaving each and every camper to look out for number one. And just to add a little more drama to the mix, Izzy and Eva returned for more fun! The campers remained to suffer all manner of abuse in the No Pain, No Game Challenge! At least that was the plan but to try and make amends to his fellow campers for cheating, Lincoln took on punishment after punishment. Seriously, how is anyone that durable? And in a death display of log rolling, a grizzly got a piranha haircut, winning Leshawna invincibility. Now that the campers are forced to fend for themselves, who will be selfless? Who will be selfish? And who will eat shellfish? And will Lincoln and Dawn finally get together? Stay tuned for the most thrilling episode yet on Total. Drama. Island!"
"Huh, where am I?" Dawn looked around; her voice seemed to echo as she took in her surroundings. From the looks of it, she would have to guess she was near the top of the cliff on the island. She was able to see the entire camp from down below. There was only one question though. How did she get here?
The last thing Dawn remembered was heading to the cabin to go to sleep last night after the party Leshawna threw at her new trailer. Eva was eliminated, her crystals helped heal Lincoln, they partied a bit, and went back to bed. So what was going on?
"Fancy meeting you here~" Dawn's face suddenly exploded with redness at the familiar yet oddly, and kinda hot, suave sounding voice hitting her ears. Looking behind her, she saw a quite familiar figure approach her. The aura reader's heart sped up as she saw the expression they had and she felt herself drawn to them as her feet seemed to move on their own, towards the figure.
"You…" Dawn almost had no control of her actions…but she wouldn't quite say that was a bad thing. She ended up leaping right into the figure's arms running on pure emotion as she was just inches away from his face, their eyes looking into each other.
"I've been waiting for this moment for too long." The figures voice spoke softly, their voice feeling like silk to Dawn's ears as she held on tighter to the figure.
"Me too." Dawn said in a loving tone. She cupped their face with her hand and moved in closer. Her lips out as she got ready to finally give them the kiss she's been waiting for and-
"Brbrbrbr."
Dawn's eyes snapped out as the familiar sound brought her out of the dream world and back into the waking one. She was hanging upside down on her bed as she did every night to go to sleep with the rest of the girls also asleep in the cabin except Leshawna who had the privilege of sleeping in her nice and cozy trailer.
Dawn remembered her dream clearly. She ended up finally kissing him. Oh how she wished it was real. Although…her lips did connect with something alright. When the nature lover looked, she saw she had Edward in her hands and had planted a kiss on his bill. "Oh…Edward." Dawn awkwardly laughed as she separated from the platypus and proceeded to pull herself up from the bed as se can properly sit down on it. "Good morning."
"…..Brbr." Edward deadpanned at Dawn.
Dawn sighed and nodded in response. This platypus really got straight to the point. "Yes, I had the dream…again." Dawn groaned a bit as she leaned against the wall. "I can't help it alright. It's like the more and more I want it to happen, the more real the dreams feel and the less I can do to stop them."
"Brbrbr!" Edward said a little bit loudly to Dawn. She really just needed to tell that boy.
"I know, I know." Dawn sighed as she slumped her head a little bit. "I technically did the other day…while he was unconscious."
"Brbrbr…" Edward simply shook his head in disappointment.
"Look I'll…try again today ok." Dawn told the platypus to hopefully appease him. "Last time just wasn't the most…ideal scenario considering what Lincoln did. I know it helped us both with everyone's trust but still…"
"Brbrbr. Brbrbr-brbrbr-brbr." Edward explained to Dawn. It really wasn't that hard. They both liked each other, it's not like he was gonna deny her feelings. It was just a matter of working up the dang courage to do it.
"Yeah…you're right." Dawn gave a soft smile to Edward as the aura reader gave the platypus a hug. "You're always-"
BOOM!
"AAAHHH!" Dawn, and a few other of the now awake girls, screamed as something that resembled a cannon firing rang through out the area. Many of the girls all groaned at what was probably Chris' alarm clock for them.
As they were voicing their complaints, Chris' voice could be heard from the loud speakers. "Arr, maties! Meet me at the amphitheater in five minutes and I'll tell you about today's challenge!" And for whatever reason, Chris decided to speak with a pirate accent. Well today was currently shaking up to be an interesting one.
With the time Chris had given them, the campers all made their way to the amphitheater. When they got there, they saw Chris' reason for talking like a pirate. It was because he was dressed up as a pirate. He even had an eye patch and plastic parrot on his shoulder. Even Chef had a little pirate bandana on his head.
When Leshawna arrived, she stomped right up to Chris with a fierce glare. "Watch it the next time you decide to use a freakin cannon as an alarm!" Leshawna yelled at the host who chuckled in response. "You almost hit me and my new trailer!"
"Arrrgh! The key word being almost ya swashbuckler!" Chris pointed out making Leshawna grumbled as she joined the rest of the campers at the stands. "Well, my little scallywags. Have we got an adventure in store for ye?"
Looking in between Chris and Chef, all the campers saw something hidden under a white sheet. "What's under the sheet?" Geoff quickly asked as the party dude's curiosity got the hold of him for this one.
"All in good time, laddie. Who here has a-hankerin' for a good ol' fashion treasure hunt?" The only response Chris got was Gwen sighing. "Now, this treasure hunts got a twist, mates. What you're looking for isn't hidden and it isn't treasure."
"How can we have a treasure hunt with no treasure?" Courtney asked irritably, still feeling the effects of waking up early in the morning.
"And what's with the eyepatch and the plastic parrot?" Duncan followed by slightly mocking Chris' costume.
"Arr, shiver me timbers! Good question, lads." Chris said after tossing the plastic parrot aside. "You're looking for keys to a treasure chest!" Chef then pulled the white sheet of the hidden objects revealing them to be a pile of locked treasure chest. "Inside each of these chests is a treasure that will pamper you landlubbers and one of these chests will even give you invincibility! Ha har! Now come 'round and pull a clue out of this bucket or you'll have to walk the plank!"
All of the campers proceeded to do as Chris said and walked up to the stage. The bucket Chris was holding containing pieces of wood with a picture taped on acting as their clue. "These clues will tell ye where your key be stowed."
Everyone looked at their planks of woods to see where their key would be. Lots of them got very…interesting locations. Gwen's clue was a picture of a skunk, Leshawna's was one of an alligator, Izzy had a snake, Dawn had sharks, and Lindsay was left with a bee hive. But Owen seemed to have drawn the shortest stick when it came to animals. "Ah, wha, bear?!" Owen let out fearfully as his clue was a picture of a bear with sharp teeth.
"I was hoping you'd get that one, dude." Chris said to Owen with his normal voice. He then noticed Heather's clue and chuckled a bit. "Haha, Chef's fridge. Nice. I hear he brushes it daily for fingerprints." Heather's eyes widened with fear as Chris then took notice of Geoff's clue. "That there is the septic tank. For the washrooms." After that, Chris took notice of Courtney's clue which was a picture of a balloon. "Ah the balloon. Good luck with that one."
"Well…where is it exactly?" Courtney asked with a raised brow. What the heck could a balloon possibly mean?
"Well, why don't you look waaaaaaaaaay up there!" Chris told Courtney as he pointed his hand up high with his finger pointing at the sky.
Courtney looked as high up as she could. After a few moments of looking at the sky, the CIT gasped as she saw exactly what Chris was pointing at. Floating above the island was a bright red balloon. And the only thing keeping it from flying off into space was the key Courtney was supposed to get. "But thats…so high up!" Courtney yelled as she glared at Chris. "How am I supposed to get that?!"
"Hmmmm, sounds like a personal problem." Chris pointed out making Courtney growl at him. Meanwhile Chris was just eating this up and had his usual grin on his face. "Figure it out."
The final clue Chris took notice of was Lincoln's clue which was a picture of the 1000-foot-high cliff. "Oooooo! The cliff side! Put that one in that prime spot every cliff has. You know, that one that's just ready to crumble and break."
"Oh…great." Lincoln deadpanned sarcastically as Edward blew a raspberry from his side.
However, Dawn heard a certain word from the sentence that caused her eyes to widen. "Cliff side…" The nature lover muttered quietly. Her dream she had this morning…it took place at that exact location. Where she finally gave him a kiss. Was it…a premonition?
"Relax, look on the bright side." Chris said to Lincoln as the host pulled out another pirate hat and proceeded to place it on top of the egg laying mammal's head. "Audience's love it when Edward wears hats. So you can have this little hat, yours to keep little dude."
Edward looked up at his new pirate hat and smiled with his bill a little. "Brbrbrb!"
(Translation: Arrrgh!)
"Alright scallywags, hit the mess hall for breakfast and then go find your keys!" Chris instructed everyone as he went back to his pirate voice. "Make sure you bring them back by six p.m. Eastern Standard Time to open up your chest and get your loot! Fair thee well, young scallywags."
CONFESSIONAL – HEATHER
"I don't know who came up with these lame-o challenges." Heather sighed in irritation. These stupid little games were really getting on her last nerves. From having to humiliate herself, injure herself, or both in almost every single one. "And memo to Chris. Those pirate tights do not exactly flatter your legs. Savvy?"
CONFESSIONAL – OWEN
"Woohoo! I am all about the treasure hunt! Yes!" Owen cheered with an excited tone before putting on a bit of a worried look. "The bears are a little concerning, but there's treasure!"
DAWN
After breakfast, the campers quickly got to work to get their keys before time was up. Right now we see Dawn approaching the place where her key was located. The Dock of Shame. Specifically a little bit out in the water by the dock with a little pillar of wood that the key was hanging on by a string...with a bunch of sharks swimming around it.
Dawn's clue warned her about the sharks but the nature lover wasn't scared one bit. In fact, she was actually happy about how easy this would be for her. And the quicker this could be done the better. "Excuse me? Hello!" Dawn got on her knees and called out to the sharks in the water.
The killer fish stopped rotating around the key and all of them responded to Dawn's call. The three sharks all swam over to the dock and peaked their heads out to look at her. Dawn gave the three sharks a kind and soft smile as she pointed to the key they were just guarding. "I hope you don't mind but I could use some help." The aura reader asked kindly. "Would one of you mind getting that key for me?"
The sharks responded in the way almost all animals did when Dawn talked to them. The aquatic predators gave the nature lover big toothy smiles and nodded their heads. The middle shark proceeded to dive back into the water and head back towards where the key was and proceeded to pick the lock opening tool up with its nose.
With the key successfully grabbed, the shark headed back over to the dock and presented it to Dawn. "Thank you so much!" Dawn said as she grabbed the key from the shark and put it in her pocket for safe keeping. The nature lover then placed a little kiss on the shark's nose and made it blush. "I hope you all have a fantastic day."
Dawn then started walking rather quickly away from the area. Dawn now had a new goal. One she considered far more important then the challenge. Meeting a certain white-haired boy on the top of the cliff. Just like in her dream.
CONFESSIONAL – DAWN
"It can't just be a coincidence." Dawn stated with a determined look on her face and pink dusting her cheeks. "The challenge sent Lincoln up the cliff exactly where we met up for our…moment in my dream. Mother earth must have sent me a premonition! Today is finally the day! Eeeeeeeeeh!"
HEATHER
With the queen bee, we currently see her acting what Mission Impossible would be if it took place at a summer camp. Heather was probably given the most dangerous location of all. Chef's fridge at the main lodge. Despite the other's challenge, none of it could compare to Chef. Especially when he was determined to stop any campers from raiding his fridge by any…means…necessary.
Heather saw this for herself as the first time she attempted it, she simply tip toed into the kitchen, opened up the fridge door…and saw Chef waiting for her inside with a cleaver that was just prime for hacking and slashing.
So she tried a different approach now. This time, Heather got the help of her little pawn Lindsay. Waiting till Chef was asleep, the queen bee had the dumb blond lower her down into the kitchen by a rope. Although Heather was still plenty nervous about the whole thing. Especially when she saw the knife at the table Chef was sleeping at…and the cleaver…and the axe…as well as the chainsaw.
Heather did her best to get this done quickly and quietly. Tip toeing over the fridge, being extra careful not to wake Chef up, Heather opened it the second she got there and quickly looked around for her key. Thankfully she didn't have to look for long as it was practically right in front of her.
Swiping the key from the Fridge Knox, Heather tip toed her way back to the rope and pulled on it to signal Lindsay she was ready to be pulled back up. The dumb blond silently nodded as she got to work pulling the queen bee up. Everything seemed to go perfectly. The key wasn't hard to find, Chef was still asleep, and Heather was making a clean escape.
Clean…until Lindsay heard a buzzing noise coming from right in front of her. Opening her eyes, Lindsay flinched a bit as she saw a bee flying right in front of her. This flinch making the dumb blond lose her grip on the rope. Heather let out a scream as she dropped her key and started falling back down to the floor. Lindsay did manage to get her grip back on the rope and stop Heather's fall…but it did nothing for the key.
Gasping, Heather quickly flipped upside down while hanging onto the rope by her legs. Heather actually managed to pull it off and caught they key before it hit the floor…with Chef waking up soon after. "How come all the other kids get ponies?!" Chef yelled as he slammed his cleaver into the table…before falling back asleep.
Before he could wake up again, and this time spot her, Heather signaled Lindsay to pull her up as fast as she could.
OWEN
Owen was certainly in for the long haul on this one. Channeling his inner Hunter, the big guy managed to track a bear down by following its tracks. This led him to a cave where he actually saw the bear itself entering it…with a key around his neck. "Oh crap…" Owen whispered as to not alert the bear's attention.
Tip toeing towards the cave, Owen peaked inside with a fearful expression and saw that the bear had fallen asleep. "Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap." Owen repeatedly whispered as he did the only thing he could do. Head inside. He wasn't no Dawn so talking to the bear was out of the question, especially due to him looking like an all you can eat buffet to bears.
Owen got on his hands and knees and crawled towards the bear and tried to reach out for the key around its neck. But right as Owen was about to grab it, the bear shifted a bit in its sleep and covered the key with one of its front paws.
That only left one option. With a 'scared for my life' expression on his face, Owen carefully slide his hand under in between the bear's arms to try and get the key. And it worked! Once he went in deep enough, Owen smiled as he felt the key and quickly grabbed onto it. Unfortunately, the bear once again shifted in its sleep…and wrapped one of its arms around Owen and pulled him close and used the big guy like a, ironically, a teddy bear.
"Oooooooh…craaaaaap…"
GWEN
Similar to Dawn and Owen, Gwen's challenge involved dealing with an animal. Skunks. Probably the most harmless of the animals that were guarding a key.
Currently on the other side of the island, Izzy was being used as a snake's chew toy.
Gwen was right in front of her key's location as well. A hole where a family of skunks were living at. Despite the worse they could do was make Gwen smell bad, that was enough to keep the goth from going in after it. She pinched her nose to try and keep the putrid smell out of her system, but that did nothing in getting her key for her.
If she just went in and stuck her hand in the hole, the skunks would likely freak out and spray her and make her smell exactly like the hole they lived in. And that was something the goth just didn't want happening to her. "Ugh! This is impossible!" Gwen stomped her foot on the ground in frustration, her voice nasally due to covering her nose.
Sighing, the goth found herself wishing Trent was here. The guitarist would probably know how to deal with the skunks. He was pretty smart like that and would be more then willing to help her. The only other person she could think of to help her was Leshawna but she was currently wrestling alligators for her key so she was a no go.
"I could help you Gwen." Gwen jumped up in fright at the sudden voice that came up from right behind her. She briefly let go of her nose because of this, but as soon as the smell of skunk hit her nostrils, she quickly plugged it back up. Looking behind her, Gwen saw that it was Dawn that appeared behind her so suddenly.
"Dawn!" Gwen yelled as she gave the aura reader a light glare. "Don't sneak up on me like that! I'm already freaked out enough cause of these skunks!"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you." Dawn said to Gwen in an apologetic tone as she put a hand to her heart. "I was just on my way to the cliff when I sensed your distressed aura. I knew you had to deal with the skunks for your key and since I already got mine I thought I could help you out."
"Really?" Gwen asked with a raised brow. Then again, she should have expected someone like Dawn to go out of her way to help someone. Even if it was during a challenge. "You'd do that?"
"Of course!" Gwen watched as Dawn walked over to the skunk hole, her calm and soft smile still present on her face. The smell didn't seem to bother the nature level as she reached the hole and got on her hands and knees. "Excuse me? Anyone home?" Dawn spoke into the hole. A few seconds later, a skunk popped its head out of the hole and looked up at Dawn, not scared or frightened by the girl one bit. "Hello there little one, my friend here really needs the key that's in your home right now. Could you please get it for us?" The skunk didn't fight about it and nodded its head with a smile. The smelly creature dived back into its home for a moment before coming back out with the key in its hands. "Thank you so much! Enjoy the rest of your day." Dawn patted the skunk on its head and took the key from it.
"Wow…thanks Dawn." Gwen said with a thankful smile as the aura reader walked back up to the goth and gave her the key. "That was really cool of you." Dawn smiled and assured Gwen that it was no big deal. Just then Gwen remembered where Dawn was heading and smirked a bit. "So, heading to the cliff huh? Isn't that where Lincoln's clue lead him~"
"Hehehehe…" Dawn sheepishly laughed as her cheeks went pink. Gwen chuckled a bit with a smirk. The goth couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she also had to admit that the scene was rather cute. This girl was crushing big time. "Maybe…he wouldn't have happened to…pass by here earlier did he?"
"Hmmmmm…" Gwen hummed a bit as she put her key in her pocket. Something seemed to click in her as she looked Dawn in the eye. "Ya know…I think I saw him and Edward passing by on their way to the cliff. For some reason he had a magnet attached to a fishing pole. So…finally gonna ask him."
"…Yes." Dawn nodded a bit with a shy smile. "I want today to finally be the day."
"Well good luck." Gwen told Dawn as she patted the girl on the shoulder before walking away. "I'm rooting for you." With the goth cheering her on, Dawn took a deep breath before continuing her hike up the cliff to meet up with Lincoln.
COURTNEY
Many keys were either obtained, lost, or still trying to be obtained. So far Gwen, Dawn, Heather, Leshawna, Duncan, and Izzy had managed to get their keys with some having it easier than others. Lindsay ending up losing her key after Izzy 'helped' the dumb blond get hers from a bee hive which resulted in the entire hive of bees chasing after Lindsay and forcing her to retreat into the water where she dropped her key leading it to sink to the bottom of the lake.
And DJ, Bridgette, Geoff, Owen, Lincoln, and Courtney were still trying to get their keys. And of those campers, we currently see Courtney struggling to get her key. The red balloon was still flying high in the sky with Courtney's key attached to it.
"Ugh! Come! On!" Courtney yelled in frustration as her strategy of getting the balloon down continued to fail. That strategy being chucking rocks as high as she could at the balloon to try and get it to come down. None of her throws even coming close. "How am I supposed to get something that far up down!?"
"Trouble in paradise?" Coming up to Courtney was her delinquent boyfriend Duncan. Courtney sighed as she put her hands to her knees and took some deep breaths. Duncan had practically got his key effortlessly from a ring of fire that was set up at the camp site and was now twirling it in his hands. With his key obtained, he figured he might as well go help out his girlfriend.
"Chris put that balloon too high!" Courtney shouted with a pissed off tone and expression as she pointed at the balloon in the sky. If looks could kill the one the CIT was sending the balloon would have popped it a million times over. "How is anyone supposed to get to that unless they can freaking fly?!"
"Hey, hey, relax babe. It's a lot easier than you think." Duncan reassured his girlfriend. Duncan always liked that feisty attitude of hers, it was one of the many things that attracted him to her. But this was challenge time and it was time to play the game. He could always appreciate that feisty attitude during other scenarios. "You just gotta go about this differently. Got any hair ties with you?"
"Um, yeah?" Courtney answered in a confused tone as she reached into her pocket. When her hand emerged, she pulled out three hair ties. While she didn't really use them that often, she kept them with her just incase she want to change up her hair a bit. It was important to change things up now and then after all. But what could Duncan want with them? And how would it help her get her key?
Duncan looked at the bands in Courtney's hand and smirked. "This should do nicely." Duncan said as he took one of the bands. Courtney rose a brow as she watched Duncan test the elasticity of the band a bit and nodded as he was satisfied with the results. As Courtney was about to ask what the heck Duncan was doing, the delinquent walked away from her and head towards a tree.
Courtney's confusion only grew more and more as Duncan looked through the various branches closest to him on the tree. Once the delinquent found one that fit the bill, he snapped it off the tree and got to removing the leaves and access mini branches. With the branch and hair band in hand, Duncan got to work in making the solution to Courtney's key problem. And his solution…
"Ooooooh, duh!" Courtney slapped her forehead with her hand. Now in Duncan's hand was a slingshot made from a branch and a hairband. So thatwas how Duncan was planning to get the balloon down. Quite frankly the CIT was feeling rather dumb that she didn't see that herself earlier. But that was still a bit on an issue. "But are you sure you can make the shot? It's pretty high up."
"Pfft, you underestimate me babe." Duncan said with a tone full of confidence. He's never missed before with a slingshot no matter how far or high it was. Ducks flying in the sky, his neighbor's window, the nerds back at school, Duncan always got his target.
Looking around at the ground, Duncan spotted a stone that was the perfect size for this. Not too big and heavy that it wouldn't reach and not so small that it wouldn't do a thing. The perfect stone to pop some toddlers balloon and make him cry.
With a stone in position in the slingshot, Duncan looked up at his target. The wind died down leaving the balloon floating in place. Easy target. Closing one eye to adjust his aim better, both feet firmly on the ground, Duncan pulled back on the slingshot as far as it would go…and released.
Courtney lightly bit her lip in anticipation for this. If Duncan missed, she would end up keyless. She kept her eyes on the bright red balloon in the sky and-
POP!
"YES!" Courtney cheered as the stone Duncan shot successfully hit its target. The balloon floating in the sky popped and the key soon fell down to earth. The CIT kept her eyes locked on the key and ran to where it was falling and was able to successfully catch the key in her hands. "Oh yeah! That's what I'm talking about!"
"Happy to help." Duncan smirked as he walked up to Courtney. "I didn't hear a thank you ya know."
Courtney giggled in response as she walked up to her delinquent boyfriend. She gave him a half-lidded stare as she wrapped one arm around his neck, and used her other hand to draw circles around his chest. "I could do that." Courtney began as Duncan started to like where this was going. "Oooooor I could give you a little reward~"
"I think I like that sound of that better~" Duncan said as he picked up the CIT bridal style. The CIT giggled as the delinquent carried her off.
OWEN
Owen was still in the position he ended up in earlier. The bear had one of its fore legs wrapped tightly around the big guy. Owen needed to find a way out without waking up the bear and risking a mauling/eating. Thankfully Owen did manage to think of something.
Using his key, the big guy lightly tickled the bear's nose with it, hoping it would get the bear to shift in its sleep. And it managed to work as the bear lifted the leg that was securing Owen in place…before yawning and using the same leg to drag Owen's head into its mouth. "Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap. Oh crap, oh crap." Owen said repeatedly as this was possibly the worst position for him. He was right in the bear's mouth! How could this possibly get any worse?
The bear then proceeded to wake up.
"Crap infinity…"
LINCOLN
"Ugh…finally…made it…to the top." Lincoln breathed out as he finally reached the top of the cliff. Edward was currently sitting on his head while still wearing the pirate hat Chris had given him. The little guy konked out halfway up the mountain and rode on top of Lincoln's head the rest of the way up.
When Lincoln got his tip, he needed to figure out how to get his key before making his way up the cliff. Going up and down repeatedly would take up too much time. And so, being the Man with the Plan, Lincoln got to work in thinking of a way to get his key.
Based on Chris' description of where exactly the key was, trying to climb up or down the cliff wasn't an option. Not only was the spot the key was ready to crumble the second it was grabbed onto, but Lincoln wasn't really an athlete either. He doubt he could climb it even if it was stable.
So he had to get the key without actually climbing the cliff. How could he do that? But he managed to remember an important detail about the keys. They were made of metal. Metal that would most likely be attracted to a magnet. After sticking with this thought, Lincoln thought of the perfect plan.
Get a fishing pole from the boat house, get a magnet from the arts and crafts center, tie said magnet to the fish pole, and use it to fish up his key!
And that's exactly what he was about to do now! "Alright Captain Edward, get some rest." Lincoln said to his little buddy as he picked Edward up off his head and placed the platypus on a nearby rock. Edward was happy to lay down on the stone surface and collect some rays of sunlight.
As Edward relaxed, Lincoln got to work on getting his key. Carefully stepping forward to the edge of the cliff, Lincoln peaked his head over the edge to try and find the spot where his key was. "Come on, come on, where is it?" Lincoln muttered to himself as he tried to keep calm about looking down 1000 feet. While he did dive down this spot in episode two, it wasn't like he was completely fine with 1000-foot jumps now.
After a few moments of looking, Lincoln managed to spot his key. Thankfully it wasn't too far down as he spotted the key on a small piece of stone attached to the cliff. "Yeesh, Chris wasn't kidding." The spot the key was on really was prime for breaking. It was cracked and even crumbling a bit. Even with just the key on it, Lincoln figured that if he didn't get the key soon, it would take a dive into the blue lake below. "Come on magnet don't fail me now…"
Lincoln sat down on the cliff side and casted his rod. The Loud boy lightly bit his lip in anticipation as he lowered the magnet down towards the key. His eyes locked on his adjective as he hoped that the key wouldn't fall. Once the magnet was low enough, Lincoln slowed its descent so the magnet would bang against the stone. "Come on…come on…"
CLICK!
"Alright!" Lincoln cheered as his plan was successful. His key was successfully attached to the magnet. And not a second too late as once the key was gone, the spot it was one completely broke off and was heading for the water. "Woah! That was close!" Lincoln simply shrugged. No reason to be concerned about this now. He had the key and that was that. "Come to papa~"
Lincoln then quickly reeled in his catch and took it off the magnet. Standing back up, Lincoln threw his magnet rod to the side and quickly got away from the cliff side to lower his risk of accidently falling off. He looked at the key in his hands for a moment before putting it in his pocket. "Wonder what treasure's in store for me." Lincoln asked himself out loud.
"Certainly a question a lot of us are wondering."
Lincoln quickly turned to the source of the voice and quickly smiled as he saw Dawn was suddenly behind him. "Oh hey Dawn!" Lincoln greeted as he eagerly ran up to the girl. He saw her clue earlier and knew Dawn was gonna get her key effortlessly from the sharks. "I take it you got your key already?"
"Hehehe, yep!" Dawn giggled as her face went a little pink. Right now…her dream was playing out almost exactly like it did this morning. She was exactly where she was in her dream. The area was the same from the very flowers beginning to bloom nearby. The only difference was the way Lincoln was acting…but that wasn't really a bad thing. She liked him just the way he usual was. "And it looks like you got yours as well."
"But of course." Lincoln said as he took out his key and twirled it around a bit to show off. "Had some help from an old friend I like to call electromagnetism."
"I knew you could do it. You were…always really smart like that." Dawn complimented the Loud boy as she shyly moved some hair away from her face. Lincoln's face went a little red at the compliment but he was still smiling that goofy smile. Gosh Dawn could stare at that smile all day. "So it looks like we have the next four hours to just…relax."
"Man I am down for that, my feet are killing me after the hike up here." Lincoln said as he and Dawn proceeded to sit down on the grass next to each other. Meanwhile Edward was still on his rock…and peaked an eye out to look at the two.
At first the white head and aura reader sat next to each other in silence, simply enjoying the other's company and Dawn couldn't get enough of it. Granted she still needed to speak with him in order to tell him, but they had a little time. They could just enjoy being with each other and enjoying the…
"Wooooooow…look at this view." Lincoln commented as both he and Dawn looked down the mountain. From where they were, they could see Camp Wawanakwa in its entirety. "Man…close up it's just a crappy summer camp but from up here…it's beautiful."
"That's nature for you. It's pure untainted beauty." Dawn commented as she also enjoyed the pure spectacular view of the camp. All the little details to the trees, the camp site below, the sparkling lake, even the screams of Owen echoing in the distance. Dawn then looked away from the magnificent view and then to Lincoln. Taking a deep breath Dawn decided…it was time. "You know…it's hard to believe everything that's happened since we came here."
"I know right." Lincoln fully agreed with Dawn. He thought his home life was crazy but life on Total Drama was just flat out insane. The challenges, the food, the strangely intelligent animals, and the people. But Lincoln wouldn't change even the worst experiences for anything. Especially with the people. While some like Heather and Duncan were…less then desirable to say the least, Lincoln has made some really good friends here at camp. DJ, Bridgette, Harold, Geoff, and of course the most important one to him being the girl right next to him. Dawn. "I…wouldn't have made it without you ya know."
Dawn giggled a bit as her face heated up. Just then the nature lover scooted closer to Lincoln and surprised the white head by grabbing his hand. "You really are too sweet sometimes do you know that?" Dawn teased a bit getting Lincoln's face to heat up more as he sheepishly chuckled. "But…I could say the same thing about you ya know."
"Huh?" Lincoln was a bit to surprised to hear that. He would fully admit to anyone like he did just know that Dawn really was the reason he was still in the competition. But to hear her say that he was why she was still here? "W-What do you mean?"
"Remember what I told you about myself during the second challenge?" Dawn asked as she scooted even closer to the Loud boy to the point that their arms were touching. Lincoln and Dawn's face were incredibly red and heated as the aura reader kept speaking. "Back home I didn't really have any friends. At least no human friends. Everyone thought that I was just some weird creepy girl that talked to animals."
Lincoln nodded as he remembered every single word Dawn said. "Yeah, I remember." Lincoln's arm suddenly moved on its own as it wrapped around Dawn and pulled the nature lover closer to him. "And I remember saying those people are idiots. Dawn, I mean it when I say you're easily the greatest girl I've ever met. You're kind, sweet, easy to talk to, calm, and always putting others above yourself. I'm so glad I went here. Even if Ronnie Anne ended up breaking up with me. It was all worth it to meet you."
Dawn immediately found herself readjusting her position. Readjusting herself…so that she was sitting right on Lincoln's lap. The Loud boy stuttered a bit as his entire head went lava red from his. Dawn looked right into his eyes and all nervousness she had seemed to disappear. "I can't tell you how happy it makes me to hear you say all that." Dawn's voice was like sweet honey to Lincoln's ears. The aura reader leaned in closer so that their faces were only inches apart. "And…that's the reason why…"
"T-T-T-The r-r-reason for w-w-what." Lincoln stuttered as he felt his body heat up from her touch.
…
"The reason why I love you."
Before Lincoln could say anything in response, Dawn quickly closed the distance between the two and crashed her lips onto his. Finally giving him the kiss she's been waiting for, for so long. Dawn closed her eyes as she kept her lips on Lincoln's and kissed the white head with all the passion she's been holding for so long.
Lincoln's eyes widened like dinner plates at this. Dawn…was kissing him! She was actually kissing him! After only a few seconds, Lincoln closed his eyes similar to Dawn and leaned into her lips. This kiss…it may not have been his first but he could easily say it was the best. Dawn's lips were incredibly soft, warm, and even tasted of blueberries a bit. Most likely due to her lipstick. It only served to make it all the sweeter.
The two wrapped their arms around each other and quickly started a full on make out session. Dawn pushed Lincoln back first to the ground, but neither cared. The rest of the world was dead to them as they kept kissing each other with love and passion. This was the moment both had been waiting for. Their feelings for each other finally brought forth and bringing them both together and binding their auras together.
If only this moment could last forever. The two still needed air and were forced to separated so they could breath. Both took heavy breaths as they looked deep into the other's eyes. Dawn was on top of Lincoln and her face was still only inches above his, the two ready to kiss again as soon as they regained enough oxygen. But not before Lincoln had his say.
"…I love you too." Lincoln said with his voice having nothing but love for the nature lover on top of him.
Dawn's eyes welled up with happy tears as she immediately rewarded her love by connecting their lips again. This time Lincoln instantly melted into Dawn's lips as the two continued their make out session. Weeks of bonding, getting to know each other, helping each other, and just being there for each other finally leading up to this. A moment of pure love and passion among the 16-year-olds.
Once again the two separate from the need for air. Lincoln wrapped his arms around Dawn's waist and sat up, placing the aura reader in his lap. Both smiled lovingly as they continued to stare into each other's eyes. Both finding the other's eyes even prettier than they were before their big moment. But instead of kissing again as soon as they had air, Lincoln had to say something. "Dawn…"
"Yes?" Dawn asked with a cute head tilt.
Lincoln took a deep breath before finally saying it. "Will…Will you be my girlfriend?"
Dawn felt her heart stop for a second, but then quickly speed up as tears of joy fell from her eyes. "Nothing would make me happier." Dawn then sealed the deal by connecting her lips to Lincoln's for a third time.
With four hours remaining before the two had to return to camp with their keys, the new couple decided to spend that time finally letting their passion go free.
All while Edward watched them with a proud smile on his bill before waddling away and giving the boyfriend and girlfriend some privacy.
FOUR HOURS LATER
The time given to everyone to find their keyswas over. Almost everyone was gathered up at the amphitheater and was ready to use their keys to find their treasure. The only ones absent were Dawn, Lincoln, and Izzy. But the latter soon made herself known to everyone as she walked up to everyone…with a snake wrapped around her. "Hey, guys!" Izzy greeted as everyone's eyes widened at the 'passenger' Izzy had with her. "Whoo! What stinks?" For those wondering, it was Geoff. The poor guy dived all the way into the communal washrooms to find his key.
"Heh, Izzy," Duncan laughed as he pointed to the snake wrapped around the crazy girl. "You've got a snake on your head."
"I know, but don't worry. He's friendly." Izzy reassured everyone…right as the snake bit down on the psycho hose beast's head. "See? Kisses." Izzy then proceeded to pass out from snake venom.
"Hey wait a minute?" Leshawna asked as she looked around a bit. The girl with a tude was currently covered in bite and scratch marks due to the alligators. And the TV censors would never be allowed to show what Leshawna did to them. "Where's Q-Tip and Dawn?"
"Wait! We're here!"
"Don't start without us! We're sorry we're late!"
Everyone heard the voices of Lincoln and Dawn approaching them. And when they looked…they saw a sight they've been waiting to see for so long. Most sent the new couple smirks or smiles, while others, I.E Heather, sent them a glare. Both Lincoln and Dawn's cloths were all ruffled up as a result of them rolling around on the grass together with Lincoln having his face almost completly covered in Dawn's lipstick.
"Well, well, well, well," Duncan smirked as he crossed his arms. Looking down, everyone also saw the two had their hands close together. "Bout time this happened."
"Hehehe," Lincoln sheepishly laughed as Dawn shot him a flirty look. "Is it that obvious?"
Everyone nodded as a few campers walked up to the new couple and cheered for them. Gwen patted Dawn on the back as Courtney and Bridgette hugged her in congratulations from both sides. Meanwhile Lincoln was met with pats on the back from both DJ and Geoff and even Duncan shot him a thumbs up.
"Ok everyone, I'm sure we all have questions for the new couple." Chris said as he gave a sly look to Lincoln and Dawn. "But before that, Dawn, Lincoln, me and Chef have to know…who kissed who first."
Dawn rolled her eyes a bit as Lincoln gave a confused look. "Um, Dawn kissed me first." The Loud boy answered with a raised brow.
"DAMN IT!" Chris swore as he stomped his foot on the ground.
"Haha!" Chef laughed as he crossed his arms at Chris. "Pay up pretty boy!"
Lincoln and a few others deadpanned as they watched Chris hand Chef over a fifty-dollar bill. "You know…probably should have expected this." Lincoln deadpanned as Dawn slowly nodded. Honestly it would be weirder if someone didn't bet on his love life.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHH!"
Everyone suddenly gasped and jumped as a strange squealing sound could be heard in the distance. "What the heck was that?!" DJ yelled with a frightened tone.
"Huh." Chris let out after giving Chef his money. "Didn't know he had coyotes out here."
"Those aren't coyotes." Lincoln stated in a blank tone. He felt like he knew exactly who was making that sound. And 10 of those someone's. "It's something much wilder."
The host rose a brow at Lincoln before simply shrugging. Clearing his throat, Chris decided to get on with it. Big deal losing fifty bucks. With the ratings this episode was going to get from Lincoln and Dawn finally getting together, it wouldn't even matter. "Yarr, with that out of the way, it be time to claim your treasure." Chris announced in his pirate voice as everyone presented their keys. The only ones who failed at the task were Lindsay, Bridgette, and DJ. "Who's fortunate enough to bear the precious key, come forth with it!"
And when they went to open their chest the treasure was…underwhelming to say the least. Some were decent at best such as with Duncan getting a few bags of chips and some candy bars and Dawn got a few two liters of pop. And some were…rather stupid such as Gwen's accordion, Leshawna's leg lamp, and Courtney's candle opera.
Some like Izzy only got treasures to help with her snake problem as her treasure chest contained anti-venom.
But it got even worse for some like Owen who got…nothing. Yep, some of the keys didn't open a single chest. On the bright side, Chef provided some tranquilizers to knock out the bear that was currently trying to devour Owen. Even Owen got a tranquilizer in him to keep things fair.
"Ugh!" Heather inserted her key into the last chest she hasn't tried…and nothing. Her key was like Owen and didn't open a single chest. "YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!"
"Haha! Yeah alright!" Having the exact opposite mood as Heather was Lincoln. When he opened his chest, it was none other then the invincibility pass Chris had spoken of. And with it was a basket filled to the brim with goodies and sweets. "Today must be my lucky day!"
"I'll say~" Dawn said to him lovingly before placing a kiss on his cheek.
"Cutest couple ever!" Lindsay commented with a big smile.
CONFESSIONAL – HEATHER
"I will not stand for this!" Heather yelled as she slammed a fist into an open palm. "Courtney and Duncan are doomed to fall apart eventually, calling it right here. But Dawn and Lincoln? Nuh-uh! This will not do! Those two are too powerful together and I am going to split them up if it's the last thing I do!"
CONFESSIONAL – DAWN
"Hehehe." Dawn giggled. "It's cute Heather can think she can split me and Lincoln up."
CONFESSIONAL – EDWARD
"Brbrbr…" Edward let out as he ran his ankle barb through his neck.
The last one to open their chest was Geoff. Thankfully his key opened a chest and its contents…an envelope. "Huh? What's this dude?" Geoff asked as he pulled out his treasure. When Chris saw this, his eyes widened a bit before an evil grin came to his face. Opening up the envelope, Geoff pulled out a sheet of paper with the only thing on it being a black spot in the middle. "Yo Chris, what the heck is this supposed to mean?"
"Ooooooo! Sorry Geoff but that's the black spot." Chris chuckled while shaking his head as he walked up to Geoff and placed a hand on the party dudes' shoulder. "Looks like your out of the game my friend."
…Everything went silent. Did…Chris just say Geoff was out of the game. "W-What do you mean dude?" Geoff stuttered, hoping he misheard Chris.
"Guess now's a good time as any to announce a new feature to the game." Chris announced to everyone as he clapped his hands together. "Everyone, welcome…to the Sudden Death Rounds!"
"Sudden death?" Gwen repeated with a bit of a worried look. "What does that mean?"
"Ya see, he producers and I figured the whole ceremony was getting a bit old." Chris explained everything to everyone, his face showing he was having way too much fun with this. "So for the second half of the competition we decided to add in sudden death rounds in random challenges. You're unlucky enough to meet the requirements of the sudden death, you're out of the game! You know, to spice things up~"
Everyone gasped as Geoff stared at the sheet of paper that just got him out of the game. "But-But-But-But-" The party dude stuttered, trying to comprehend everything happening.
"Sorry bro, but the black spot is a pirate's death sentence." Chris told Geoff as he patted his shoulder a few times before gesturing towards the Dock of Shame where the Boat of Losers was waiting for him. "Or in your case, an elimination sentence! The Dock of Shame awaits my friend."
Geoff sighed and slumped down. Nothing he could do about it. This was the new rule after all. "Well…guess that's it for me dudes." Geoff said in a sadden tone as most of the campers looked at him with sympathy.
"I'm really sorry Geoff." Lincoln apologized as Dawn had her arms wrapped around the Loud boy. "That really sucks man."
"Yeah…but hey, way to go man. Finally got her." Geoff complimented the two couple as he sent them a thumbs up. Geoff then bid his goodbyes to everyone else. Giving fist bumps to the guys, getting a few pats on the back from a few of the girls. And then finally came Bridgette. "Hey Bridge, it was super cool meeting you and everything. Maybe when the show is all over we could-"
Bridgette cut off Geoff by giving him a kiss on the cheek. "I'd love to." Bridgette told him with a smile. Why should Dawn be the only one to give her man a kiss? Especially since he was leaving the island.
Geoff chuckled a bit as he nodded at Bridgette. "Sweet." Geoff said to the surfer girl before making his way to the Boat of Losers. "Party on dudes! I'll be rootin for you guys back home! See you at the finale!" And with that, Geoff got on the boat that was quick to carry him off the island.
"Man, I feel really bad for Geoff." Lincoln said as Dawn continued to lean against her new boyfriend. "Although this does kinda make my invincibility pass worthless."
"Maybe, but you still got a basket full of goodies." Dawn said in an attempt to cheer Lincoln up. And this was successful as Dawn gave Lincoln a flirty look and asked. "Speaking of goodies, now that the challenge is over, shall we continue our earlier activates~"
"Yes ma'am!" Lincoln excited said as he scooped Dawn up in his arms. Despite Geoff leaving, Lincoln would still call this the best day ever.
And as the new couple went off to enjoy some fun together, came the end of yet another episode of Total. Drama. Island.
