Valentine Countdown Ch.1

Disclaimer: Don’t own Total Drama Island

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Welcome, readers! Glad you could make it!”

The one who’d said this was Chris Maclean, who had been standing on the dock that lead to the infamous Playa Des Losers. He smiled brightly for the cameras before continuing.

“I’m sure you’re all wondering why I’m standing here on the dock of Playa Des Losers when the show has already ended and everyone has gone home! Well, the producers think it’d be a little nice if we had a reunion with all 22 contestants! Of course, not JUST a reunion!”

He paused, snickering.

“We all thought it’d be good for the viewers to see how everyone is after Total Drama Island, but at a time that would SURELY bring some good ratings! And when would THAT be!? Well… On the week, of VALENTINE’S DAY!”

He laughed out loud as he noticed a cruise ship coming in from the horizon. He immediately turned back to the camera and smiled evilly again.

“See, everyone knows that Valentine’s Day is when most people’s hearts get broken! And we’ll be looking forward to some of them as we record everything that happens in this one week! Look forward to it, cuz here come the campers now!”

As he said this, all 22 contestants from Total Drama Island stepped out of the boat and gathered around Chris, watching him suspiciously. Of course they were all stumped that the sadistic host was inviting them all back for a reunion, but what stumped them most was that it was actually at a place they didn’t mind being in, which was Playa Des Losers. Mainly Heather, Gwen, Eva, and Duncan glared at the host.

“Welcome back, campers! I’ll just be calling you that for old time’s sake!” said Chris, completely ignoring the dirty looks the rest of them had been giving him. “I hope you all enjoyed the holidays, cuz you’ll be taking a week off of school to be here- well, jail for a certain few!”

While some of the campers cheered about this, mainly Geoff, Owen, and Duncan cheered about this, while Gwen, Noah, and Beth had frowned. Beth raised her hand, which Chris had gestured her to speak.

“But Chris! We’ll have to make up all the work we miss!” she noted, able to speak clearly without her braces. The ones who had been cheering immediately frowned and sulked.

“I know, but I’ve already graduated so I really don’t care!” he said, once again getting dirty looks. “Hey, come on! You guys are here for VALENTINE’S Day! You should all be happy that MOST of you get to be near each other on such a loving holiday”

When he said this, he looked at Gwen, Trent, Geoff, Bridgette, Duncan, and Courtney, who sighed and shook their heads or rolled their eyes. Chris snickered.

“And who knows? There may also be MORE couples blossoming from this reunion! Just enjoy the week! No challenges whatsoever! All you need to do is relax and kick back and enjoy Valentine‘s Day! You even get to speak your mind through a confession cam in the janitor closet on the lobby floor” he said, and while some of them still looked suspicious, Owen had cheered.

“That is TOTALLY AWESOME, Chris!” shouted Owen, grabbing his bags. “I call a room on the TOP FLOOR!”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa! HOLD IT!”

The shriek had come from the one that NO ONE really wanted to come to the reunion. Heather, who had still been glaring daggers at Chris, and had grown a little hair back (Enough to be mistaken for a guy), was still not liking where this whole reunion thing was going.

“What? No catch? Nothing? I don’t think so! Something here stinks!” she shouted, stomping her foot.

“Yeah, for once, I agree with the stuck-up, daddy’s girl!” agreed LeShawna, who ignored the glare Heather gave her in response to the insult. Gwen had nodded while Ezekiel tapped his chin.

“It IS kinda suspicious, eh!” he said.

“Hey, the viewers wanted to see you guys again! … and I don‘t know why…” Chris replied, muttering the last part. “So the producers are just giving them what they wanted!”

“So we’re just part of ANOTHER embarrassing segment for your station!?” asked Courtney angrily.

“And we’re not even gonna be able to win MONEY?!” asked Eva, even angrier.

Chris started panicking on the inside. The campers weren’t stupid after all, and they continued to stare at him and question him angrily until they heard another familiar voice walking down the stairs from the five-star resort.

“MAGGOTS! GET YO BUTTS UP HERE AND EAT, FOOLS!”

Yup, who could forget the voice of the psychotic chef that tortured them with food that looked like it came from a dumpster? Chef walked down the steps and pointed towards the stairs, telling everyone to get up there. Still a little suspicious, the 22 teens had shrugged and walked up the steps, not really wanting to have to deal with Chef’s usual ticked off attitude. Chris sighed and turned towards the darker, bulkier guy.

“Thanks, man! I almost gave it away, there!” said Chris, waving to the departing cruise ship.

“Whatever, I just do my job” he replied huffily.

“Well, readers! You’ve seen them! Now let’s check on them as they unpack!” said Chris.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CONFESSION CAM

Heather: “Okay, I don’t care WHAT he says! I DON‘T have to STAY here! I‘ll be calling my parents and DEMAND them to bring me home IMMEDIATELY!!… After I find a good room!”

Owen: “It’s so AWESOME to be BACK here! The holidays were really cold and all, but it’s GREAT to be here again in the sun and see everyone again! Especially Izzy…”

Geoff: “Dude, I was so psyched when I got my letter saying I’d be brought back for a reunion here! PAR-TAY, DUDES!!… I‘m a little disappointed that we can‘t win any money, but it‘s all GOOD!!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Lindsay, you wanna be my roommate?” asked Beth, and Lindsay gasped.

“Really? That’d be, like, SOO awesome! Sure!” said Lindsay, and they both ran into the room on the top floor that was closest to them, leaving Owen, Gwen, Trent, LeShawna, and Heather outside.

“Well, that means, like, there’s only three rooms on this floor left!” noted LeShawna.

“I call this room!” shouted Heather, running into the one closest to her. “There’s a good view of the sky from here! So it’s MINE!”

With that, she slammed the door on all of them, not noticing the unimpressed look on LeShawna and Gwen’s faces while Owen and Trent just shrugged.

“At least we’ll know who’s howling on a full moon” said Gwen, earning snickers from the others.

“I HEARD THAT!” shouted Heather from her door.

“Girl, you can be MY roommate!” said LeShawna, patting the goth girls’ shoulder.

“Sure, but let’s go to the floor below. I don’t want to be ANYWHERE near the banshee” replied Gwen, following LeShawna towards the elevator, ignoring Heather’s screams of offense. Trent had followed quietly while Owen went into another room on the top floor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CONFESSION CAM

Gwen: “I don’t care if it’s been four to five months since we’ve been together. Heather hasn’t changed, therefore my hate towards her hasn’t, either!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Katie and I are DEFINITELY roommates!” said Sadie, who had been on the floor below, holding her bags.

“Aw, Sadie! I’ll DEFINITELY be your roommate!” replied Katie, and the two squealed as they ran into their room. Tyler, DJ, Izzy, and Eva had also been on this floor, covering their ears from the high pitched squeal. Well, everyone except Izzy…

“My room will be here. DON’T bother me unless you’re my roommate” said Eva, who walked into her room and slammed the door.

“I feel sorry for whoever’s stuck with her, man” whispered DJ, making sure Eva had not been around.

“Well, maybe she’ll be the one without a roommate” replied Tyler.

However, to their dismay, Izzy had knocked on her door, earning shocked and frightened looks from the two as Eva opened her door with an angry look that faded when she saw the insane red-head.

“Hey, Eva! Can I be your roommate!?” asked Izzy excitedly. Eva frowned, but shrugged and let the red-head in as they had been friends (to a degree) while they were on the island. Tyler and DJ looked at each with confused looks. With this, the elevator doors had opened to reveal Gwen, LeShawna, and Trent with their bags. They took notice of the other two boys, and the two leftover rooms that were still open and walked over to them.

“Hey, are you guys taking one of these rooms?” asked Gwen.

“Um, I guess. Wanna be roommates, DJ?” asked Tyler.

“That’s cool! As long as you don’t mind Bunny coming along” DJ answered, holding out his little furry friend from Camp Wawanakwa.

“That’s cool with me, dude!” said Tyler, grabbing his bags and walking into the room, followed by DJ. By now, only one room had been left, and the girls turned to Trent.

“Sorry, Trent. There’s still a room upstairs if you want” said LeShawna.

“Yeah, sure, why not? Gwen can visit me later, anyway” said Trent, smiling at his girlfriend before walking back into the elevator to head upstairs. She grinned at him before following LeShawna into the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hey, Bridge! Wanna be roomies?”

“Geoff, we’re supposed to stay with our own gender. I’m rooming with Courtney” replied Bridgette, pecking her boyfriend on the lips and waving to him before following Courtney into their room.

“Aw, man! This stinks!” complained Geoff, and Duncan walked over to him.

“Dude, stop being a wuss! It’s not like her elimination!” said Duncan, walking into another room on their floor. Geoff beamed.

“Hey, how about I room with you, dude?”

“Are you gonna sing your sorrow to Bridgette again?” asked Duncan, glaring at the laid back cowboy.

“Nah, dude. Unless you want me to”

“Don’t, and you‘ve got a roommate”

With that, Geoff grabbed his bag and followed the juvenile delinquent. The only ones without rooms now were Ezekiel, Harold, Noah, Cody, and Justin. Harold turned towards Noah, who’d been reading a book as usual and cleared his throat.

“Hey, Noah, wanna be my roommate?” he asked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CONFESSION CAM

Noah: “Um, yeah, as much as I knew I’d be desperate for a roommate, I was NOT gonna room with Harold. He’s intelligent enough, but… revolting”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While Noah knew Harold was a nice and flexible person (mainly that he could stand Noah), he couldn’t help but make a face as he’d seen the episode of Total Drama Island where Duncan, Geoff, and DJ had constantly picked on the boy for his atrocious habit of leaving his underwear on the ground. He coughed and grabbed his bags, walking to the elevator.

“Um… Actually, I was going to room with, uh…” he paused, looking around to view the candidates.

Justin was definitely out. He still hated his polar opposite ever since the last episode of Total Drama Island and would NEVER be able to tolerate him as a roommate. He looked around more to see Ezekiel. While he didn’t mind the home schooled boy, he couldn’t stand his constant ending of sentences with ‘eh’. Then there was Cody…

Oh, boy… Cody…

While Noah had been comfortable and more tolerant with Cody before, he couldn’t deny that life was pretty awkward around the boy ever since the Awake-A-Thon. He couldn’t even read the e-mails that the tech-geek had sent him when they returned home for the holidays… It was nice that the boy seemed okay with the accidental moment, but Noah couldn’t trust himself to room with him and possibly have another ‘accident’.

He thought harder. Who couldn’t have had a roommate, yet? He could only think of Trent, DJ, and Owen… However, Tyler had not been on this floor, where majority of the guys were right now, so he assumed that he and DJ roomed together considering they were on the same team… He absolutely COULDN’T imagine sleeping in the same room as the ticking time-bomb of obnoxious fumes… Therefore, he had only one option…

“I’m rooming with Trent”

With this said, the rest of them stared at him unbelievably. They didn’t know he even TALKED with the cool musician, or that the cool musician had even been able to tolerate the lazy know-it-all since the dodge ball competition…Noah rolled his eyes at their disbelieving looks and walked towards the elevator, not noticing Cody’s disheartened look…

Suddenly, Cody thought of something, and followed the know-it-all into the elevator, earning a raised eyebrow and questionable look, to which he grinned at.

“I’m rooming with Owen” he said.

“Good luck with that” Noah replied, rolling his eyes again as the doors closed.

Harold sighed, as he had no idea who he could’ve roomed with now when he noticed Justin walking into a room alone, locking the door behind him as if to say he wouldn’t allow anyone else in there. Oddly enough, Ezekiel walked over to him and patted his shoulder.

“Hey, wanna be roommates?” asked Ezekiel, and Harold beamed.

“Definitely!” he replied, following Ezekiel into their room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CONFESSION CAM

Cody: “I was always hoping Noah and I could be friends again, even after the Awake-A-Thon incident… I mean, I even grew interested in him when I learned I was actually bi when I got back from the show! But he’s been giving me some mixed signals, lately… Is that a bad thing?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Noah and Cody rode the elevator in silence… They hadn’t exactly been in contact since the show ended, but that was mainly Noah’s fault when not replying to Cody’s e-mails (Which he wouldn’t have had to do if Izzy hadn’t given Cody his e-mail to begin with). Noah struggled to keep his gaze forward and away from Cody, while the other boy had been TRYING to get the know-it-all’s attention to begin with.

However, they had finally reached the top floor, where they were told by Owen and Trent themselves that that was where they’d be. Finally reaching it, the two had walked out and noticed a loud cheering coming from a room nearby. Anyone who had been on the show would’ve known that it was Owen, and that was the room Cody headed for while Noah listened for some music to be playing.

“So… how was your holidays, Noah?” asked Cody.

The other boy had looked at him with a hesitant expression while the boy grinned. Noah didn’t really know what to say, but when he was about to try, they heard a door open and Owen step out of it. He took notice of the two and waved happily.

“Hey, guys! Whatcha doing?” asked Owen.

“Cody was going to ask for your cooperation in the hope of sharing your current residence” Noah replied, hoping to get Cody out of his sight as soon as possible, but earning a blank look from the taller, fatter boy.

“…Hah…?” he asked, and Noah mentally slapped his forehead.

“I was wondering if I could be your roommate” said Cody, translating for Noah.

“Oh, sure! That’d be AWESOME!” said Owen, leading Cody into their new room while Cody looked back at Noah and waved, to which Noah didn’t reply. He didn’t notice Cody’s disappointed frown.

Now that he’d been alone in the hallway, Noah finally heard some guitar strings from a door in the hallway, and walked over to it, knocking lightly.

“Come in” was heard from the other side, and Noah placed his bags down and walked in to see Trent on one of the beds with his trusty guitar. He took notice of the know-it-all and frowned slightly.

“I need a roommate, and everyone but Justin’s got one…” he said.

This didn’t change Trent’s facial expression one bit. Noah was aware that many of the contestants had not exactly been fond of the dark-skinned bookworm, but he could at least try with Trent, couldn’t he?

“Look, I know I was… overbearing during that challenge, but… even if I HAD joined in, you guys would’ve lost anyway” he argued, not really knowing how to convince Trent to let him stay.

Trent’s facial expression changed to him being deep in thought, and he looked back at the boy again to speak something that had been on his mind.

“Well, you didn’t have to mock our efforts, dude. I was pretty bad in that challenge, but at least I tried” said Trent, trying to get his point to Noah, which it kinda did.

Noah sighed and turned around, planning to just ask someone if they’d let him sleep on the ground in their room, knowing this wasn’t going to get anywhere. However, Trent had stopped him before he could.

“Man, you can stay here, just… I just wanna know why you act the way you do” asked Trent, putting the guitar down for a sec. Noah looked at him.

“What do you mean?” he asked, not getting Trent’s point.

“I mean like why are you always cynical and sarcastic? Doesn’t it matter that people get offended by your words?” asked Trent, looking at the boy straight in the eye.

“I think that’s my business and mine alone” replied Noah, preparing to walk out the door again.

“Suit yourself, man, but I heard Justin isn’t exactly the easiest to persuade into sharing his room” said Trent, grabbing his guitar again to pick notes while Noah’s face glowered darkly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CONFESSION CAM

Trent: “Yeah, I kinda did feel bad for tricking Noah like that… But seriously, dude’s got some major issues to act the way he does! I just wanted to help”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Really? EIGHT siblings!? Wow, dude… Never knew there WAS a family that big!” said Trent, amazed, impressed, and definitely shocked at this new information Noah had given him.

“Yeah, well, it’s not exactly something to be proud of…” said Noah, leaning his head in his palm, sitting on his own bed while telling Trent all these things.

“No kidding… And they’re all older… I don’t have any brothers or sisters, dude, but I definitely knew friends who had some, and their older ones… weren’t exactly the nicest people I’ve met…” said Trent, scratching his head at the memory.

“Whatever…” replied Noah, not believing he had actually told this to someone like Trent…

“Dude… Now I see why you’re like this…” announced Trent.

“Yippee, give the boy a prize” replied Noah, rolling his eyes and mockingly waving his arms in the air.

Trent stared at him, offended at first, but remembered a friend of his who was constantly verbally abused by his older brother, and imagined what that, plus seven other brothers or sisters would be like… His face saddened… And he stood to pat Noah on the shoulder lightly and comfortingly, getting a confused and surprised face in return that turned into narrowing his eyes in suspicion. Yet, with Trent’s encouraging smile, Noah’s face softened and he looked away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CONFESSION CAM

Noah: *Sigh in irritation* “He’s cool, popular, and everything else I hate… But… Even I can admit that he’s a good guy…” *Eyes widen* “But that DOESN’T mean I won’t still be sarcastic and sadistic! Because that’s who I’ve grown to be and I’ve got no problems with it!”

Trent: “It was pretty weird being nice to him after what he said during the dodge ball challenge… But at least I can say that I might have earned a friend outta him for it, and he might have learned to loosen up a little! He’s actually pretty cool deep down. Kinda reminds me of Cody, too”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hey Owen, dude?” Cody asked, pulling a pile of clothes out of his bag to put in his drawers.

“Yup?”

“You already know I’m bi, right?” asked Cody, grabbing more stuff.

“Yup”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CONFESSION CAM

Owen: “Come on! EVERYONE knew! He sent an e-mail to ALL of us telling us he found out he was bi! It was a shock, I mean, I couldn’t eat for 30 minutes due to the shock!”

Cody: “Yeah, I told everyone, and I wasn’t sure Owen got the e-mail, so I was just checking! Pretty much everyone knows about my orientation!… Well, with the possible exception of Lindsay, who I’m not sure even knows the meaning of bi”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Well… I kinda need some help with something…” Cody admitted, placing his bathroom stuff on his nightstand for the time-being.

“You don’t want me to help you practice kissing guys, do you?” asked Owen, face faltering at the thought.

“NO! No no no! That’s not it! I just need some advice!” said Cody, waving his arms in front of himself.

On the inside, Owen sighed in relief. He wasn’t gay, or bi, as much as everyone seemed to think so due to his constant falling for Justin’s looks ability. However, he looked at the tech-geek excitedly as he’d never been asked for advice before.

“Um… How would you impress someone? Someone who’s… kinda distant from you?” asked Cody.

“Are you trying for Gwen again? Dude, Trent’s gonna KILL you!” Owen said. Cody’s jaw dropped.

“NO!! I don’t like Gwen anymore! Look, just answer my question please!!” said Cody, suddenly wondering why he had chosen Owen to be his roommate.

“Uh… Hmm… Well, I got Izzy to notice me by standing out from everyone else!” said Owen, punching his chest proudly. Cody stared at him blankly.

“Um… Okay, but… I’m not that tall…” replied Cody, scratching his head.

“ I mean with ACTIONS, dude!” said Owen. “I do something that Izzy just CAN’T ignore!”

Cody stared at him in curiosity. Something IZZY couldn’t ignore? It had to have been good if someone as mentally insane as IZZY couldn’t ignore it.

“What do you do?” asked Cody.

“I EAT!!” answered Owen. “I eat large amounts of food in a way that Izzy can’t help but NOTICE! And it works! She noticed me! How do you think I got to make out with her in the psycho killer challenge?”

Cody stared at him, tapping his chin in thought, but understood Owen’s logic. Of COURSE! To get Noah’s attention, he’d have to do something unordinary that was still cool! Owen’s large food consumption was DEFINITELY something manly and cool to Cody, so if Cody did it, there was no WAY that Noah could ignore it like he’d been doing with all of Cody’s other attempts to start a conversation!

That’s what he’ll do!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the campers had all been settled in and unpacked, they had all gone outside with most of them in their swimsuits and were just chillin’ and hanging out the way normal teenagers do when they’ve got free time. Trent and DJ, who had Bunny, were lying in the pool chairs like they had done when they had been here during Total Drama Island, except with Gwen being in the chair next to Trent. Lindsay and Beth were playing with a beach ball in the pool, Heather had been tanning, LeShawna had been preparing some pranks to pull on the oblivious queen bee, and Harold had been picking some flowers nearby to present to LeShawna later when he had the chance.

Katie and Sadie were doing their usual ‘Justin Watch’ as he dived off the diving board gracefully and landing in the water. Geoff and Bridgette had once again been making out in the hot tub, Eva had been lifting weights, and Tyler had been watching Lindsay, who invited him to play with her and Beth. Courtney and Duncan were sitting by the refreshment stand, Courtney being in her usual ‘denial’ mode while Duncan constantly flirted with her. Ezekiel was chatting a little with Noah (a little to his misfortune) about books on the side with their feet in the hot tub, and Izzy had been swimming underwater in the pool near the refreshment bar.

Owen and Cody had been by the buffet table, and Cody looked over to Noah and gulped as he grabbed a plate as big as Owen’s and followed the big guy over to where Noah and Ezekiel were. They took a seat, not bothering to greet the two as Owen began eating, making sure Cody sat next to Noah. Cody looked hesitant for a minute, but Owen gave him a thumbs up, encouraging him. Taking a deep breath, Cody started eating the turkey wing, making sure to shove as much as he could down his throat in order to get Noah’s attention.

However, Noah hadn’t been cooperating very much, still chatting with Ezekiel. Cody looked at Owen, as if asking for help, to which he nodded. Owen immediately turned to his own plate and shoved his face in it, making growling sounds that nearly made Cody pee in his pants. However, this had worked, as both Ezekiel AND Noah turned to see the two of them, and Cody shoved his face into his food as well.

The two watched Cody and Owen eat and eat and eat… So shocked and grossed out that they couldn’t even express it in their faces… Finally, Cody was starting to get full, and he looked at Owen to ask mentally if he should stop. Unfortunately, Owen had completely gone overboard in the act and was just eating like he normally did. With this, Cody had kept on eating, ignoring the sickening feeling he was getting in his stomach…

Noah was starting to look worried now. Cody was stuffing himself with food, and he hadn’t even known why. For Owen, it was normal, but Cody… He couldn’t consume HALF as much as Owen could! Hell if ANYONE could! He reached a hand out to try and stop Cody, but before his hand reached him, Cody couldn’t take it anymore…

…And…

“BLECH!”

Noah shut his eyes in order to avoid the disgusting scene of Cody turning around to throw up on the ground behind him. Everyone had been looking at what the commotion was about now, and some of the even started laughing (Duncan and Eva, mainly). Once Cody had finished, he coughed a little and sat up, feeling groggy, and embarrassed…

…He puked in front of NOAH…

He fell unconscious, not noticing the worried expressions that were plastered on everyone’s face. Including Noah’s, although he’d still been disgusted at the sight of vomit…

Chris had walked out in front of the cameras that were taping this and looked at them, trying hard to keep his laughter inside of his gut… But being unsuccessful in doing so…

“Wow, man, THAT is some SERIOUS damage! Let’s get poor Codester here to the Playa Des Losers infirmary to rest while Chef cleans this mess up!” he said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CONFESSION CAM

Noah: “…I’m speechless… That was seriously disgusting…”

Owen: “Man, I didn’t know Cody couldn’t eat that much! He hadn’t even finished HALF of his plate!”

Gwen: “Okay, that was gross, but we were ALL wondering- WHAT in the WORLD was he doing?!”

Heather: “Why do I try to embarrass these losers? They do it well enough on their own!”

Izzy: “… That was so cool!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Okay, Cody’s in the infirmary, Chef’s cleaned up the mess, and everyone’s just doing what they had been doing before!” started Chris.  He snickered in Chef’s direction before continuing.

“But they’re also wondering, just as Gwen said, what Cody was trying to do! Heh heh, Chef and I know, and normally, the producers wouldn’t be letting this kind of storyline be broadcasted on live TV, but I convinced them that the HUGE population of *OTAKUS will surely eat this stuff up, getting us some AWESOME ratings!”

He made sure no one was listening when he had said that, and was glad to see no one was paying attention to him in any way. He smiled back at the camera again before continuing.

“So, I bet you’re all wondering- Will Cody get out of the infirmary alive? What will he do to try and impress Noah next!? Will Noah learn to be nicer to the other campers? And will Owen STOP EATING!?”

He intentionally shouted that loud enough to try get the attention of the huge boy who was STILL eating near the hot tub. Chris sighed as he failed, and turned back to the camera.

“Well, you’d better stay tuned, readers! Cuz the next chapter will hopefully be up soon! Find out what will happen next in the next EXCITING chapter…

…Of VALEN-…-TINE…COUNTDOWN!”

“Is THAT what you named this reunion!?” Chef asked.

“Quiet and cut the camera!” Chris replied through clenched teeth fixed in a smile.

…TBC…
