"Last time on total drama island! 23 campers arrived and learned that they'll be spending the next eight weeks at a crusty old summer camp. "

"The campers were faced with their first challenge."

"Jumping off a cliff into shark infested waters! And while most campers took the plunge-

"Poor DJ was forced to wear the dreaded chicken hat. At the campfire cerymony it all came down to two campers. DJ is big and strong, but lost his team the challenge-

"And Ezekiel managed to tick off every female contestant at the camp with his sexist comments about women. In the end, he became the first person voted off total drama island"

"Who will be voted off this week, in the most dramatic campfire ceremony yet? Find out tonight! On total drama island!"

(Peter's POV)

After having being woken up 7 in the morning, everyone gathers outside, exhausted.

Chris: "Morning, hope you slept well"

Heather: "Hi Chris, you look really buff in those shorts"

Chris: "I know"

Okay, this is starting to worry me. A few days ago he agreed that Lindsay was the prettiest, now there is comments between him and Heather? He hasn't done anything.. Illegal before right?

Chris: "I hope you're all ready, because your next challenge begins in exactly one minute!"

Owen: "Excuse me, I don't think that's enough time to eat breakfast"

Chris: "Oh, you'll eat breakfast Owen. Right after you complete your 20km run around the lake!"

Eva: "Oh, so you're funny now?! You know what I think would be funny?" She looks like she is about to cause some serious damage. But myself and Duncan hold her back, while Courtney whispers to her

"Eva, try to control your temper"

Eva: "Your enjoying this aren't you!?"

Chris: "A little. You have 30 seconds."

"Okay, that girl Eva has got to get a handle on her temper. She's only been here one day, and she's already thrown her suitcase out a window. And broken the lock on one of the bathroom doors"

Chris: "Okay runners! On your marks, get set, GO!"

"I don't run. And I definitely don't run in high heels"

I run in the group at the front. Apparently if you don't get there before dinner time, you don't get food. So I make sure to be one of the first to arrive the main lodge. Before falling to the ground, gasping for air

And after a little while, more and more people arrive. But no one talks, they needed to save the air

At last the final group arrives. Owen, carrying a completely dead Noah to the table to do CRP, I know most of the alphabet, but I don't know that. But I think he is helping. Lewshawna also comes in, falling to her knees. And finally Harold

Courtney: "What took you so long? We just lost the challenge!"

Harold: "I think i'm having heart palpitations"

Gwen: "Hey, wait a minute. If they lost, that mean we win!"

Chris: "Whoa, there, hold your horses guys. That wasn't the challenge. Who's hungry!"

"After a whole week of brown sludge, I almost cried when I saw that buffet"

"And then I saw it, the buffet table, it was beutiful! There was turkey, nymo bars and baked bean and maple syrup. Uh, can I have a minute"

It felt weird. I mean we didn't know what the challenge was. And this was probably some kind of trick, but I haven't eaten properly at all since I got here. So I don't care. Today I am eating like a bear before the winter

And then, it was all gone. So sad

Chris: "Okay campers, time for part two of your challenge!"

Owen: "I thought eating was the second part?"

Gwen: "What more do you want from us?"

Heather: "Weird goth girl is right, haven't we been through enough?"

Chris: "Um, let me think about that. No. It's time for the awake-a-thon!"

Gotta give it to him, that's clever

Chris: "Don't worry, this is an easy one. The last camper standing wins invincibility"

Gwen: "So what you're saying is the 20k run, and the turkey eating frenzy were part of your evil plan to make is harder for us to stay awake?"

Chris: "That's right Gwen. Move! Move! Move!"

We head towards the campsite, and I make my way over to Bridgette "Guess your off to a better start"

Bridgette: "Why would you say that?"

"I noticed you didn't eat any of the turkey. Your parents split up on thanksgiving?"

Bridgette: "What? NO! Why would you think that?"

"Sorry, ehh friends refrence.. Sometimes I forget everyone else dosen't love that show like I do.. Anyway, so why didn't you eat?"

Bridgette: "That's fine. I'm a vegetarian. But believe me, I had myself a good meal too. A lot of good options on that buffet."

"That's good to hear"

(The campsite)

Chris: "We are now 12 hours in, with 23 campers still wide awake"'

Owen: "Woho! Stay awake for 12 hours. I can do that in my sleep. Woho!" He then plummets to the ground

"So my strategy is to get two other campers to form an alliance with me, and take to the final three. The only question is, who can I find who is either desperate or dumb enough to do whatever I say?"

I see Lindsay doing a hand stand

Gwen: "What are you doing?"

Lindsay: "Trying to get the blood to rush to my head, I think it's working!"

Beth: "Can I try?"

Lindsay: "Sure"

Heather: "Perfect. Lindsay, Beth. Can I talk to you for a sec?"

Hmm, something is fishy. I keep my distance, but make sure to stay close enough to hear what they say

Heather: "Okay, I have a plan to get me and two other contestans to the final three. And I choose you guys"

Lindsay: "Really?"

Heather: "You should know this is a very big deal. I am placing my trust in you. And trust is a two-way street." They nod eagerly. Lindsay and Beth seem so sweat. Really hope Heather ain't planning on taking advantage of that "So you'll do everything I say then?" Oh no..

Lindsay: "Sure! Eeee, we're going to the final three!"

"Oh my gosh! Heather is taking me to the final three! I'm going to the final three, i'm going the final three! I wonder what will happen then?"

Lindsay: "Speaking of alliances, you know who I think is really cute?" I can tell she looks towards Tyler

Heather: "Oh no, no no no. You can't date him"

Lindsay: "Why not?"

Heather: "Because he's on the other team"

Lindsay: "Uh okay.. What about Peter? He's so hot"

That is interesting..

Heather: "What no! He is on the other tam too! You can't inter-team date. It's like against the alliance rules"

Lindsay: "There are rules?"

Heather: "Remember what I just said about trust Lindsay. Of course you can always leave the alliance. If you do though, I can't protect you from getting kicked off"

Lindsay: "No, I wanna be in the alliance!"

Heather: "Good, then it's settled"

She walks off. Good honestly, listening to how she plans on using them is painful. I wanna talk to them, but I don't want them to know I was eavesdropping. But it is hard seing Lindsay upset. Luckily Tyler waving to her seems to have gotten a smile on her face

"Heather said I coudn't date him, she never said I coudn't like him"

(22+ hours awake)

I make my way over to Courtney and sit down beside her "Got a plan to stay awake?"

"Yep, I plan to just keep moving. Can't fall asleep while walking"

Intersting thought, "That's smart. But I don't think you wanna exhaust yourself."

"So what is your brilliant idea?"

Her tone towards me seem to have changed, And I don't know why. We have done a lot of small talk, but is isn't flowing the way it has done the other days "Uhh, well. We sit oppostie each other. continue to talk to make sure the other is awake. And if one of us falls asleep, that's when the other one do your idea of keeping yourself moving"

"Guess that could work" We both get on our knees, looking each other in the eyes. Her beutiful brown eyes take my attention for a moment, before I grab it back. "So, we're gonna need some subjects. How about the things you talked about with Bridgette?"

Guess she must have noticed when I talked to her "Oh, I just wondered why she didn't eat any turkey, considering that is the best food we've had"

"Oh. Huh, like Chandler"

My eyes widen with joy "Exactly like Chandler! Except she didn't eat because she is a vegetarian, and Chandlers parents divorced. But other than that, exactly the same"

Immediately the conversation flows naturally again. The power of Friends I guess?

But our conversation gets stopped by loud screaming, and I turn to see Tyler

"AHHHHHHHHHH. Oh, wow. " He sits back down. Sure

Chris: "Congratulations campers, you've made it to the 24-hour mark. Time to take things up a notch"

No, way

"Fairy tales"

He starts reading while Chef plays the harp. This is serious. Dangerous. "Courtney please, this is it. If you see me fading, i'm giving you full access to slap me"

"Okay" She slaps me

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" She dosen't even look tired anymore

"You looked tired. Wait a second, I think you still are." She woudn't..

"Courtney, no" She gets closer, while I try to get away.

She gets in a few, before we both fall back to the ground laughing. To exhausted to continue. Good news is we missed like the entire story. But one sound we did hear

Classic Owen. Love you man

"Peter really make this challenge a lot more fun. He is just so fun, but also proper and.. Uhh, a good teammate. Yeah. Great teammate"

(51+ hours in)

Many of the campers have fallen asleep already. And apparently Justin painted his eyelids! Jeez, better looking than me, and clearly smarter. Man i'm loving this dude..

But honestly, I didn't really notice any of it. Courtney and I even completly forgot about our plan to keep moving. With us just looking at the night sky, laying side by side

"I have heard about a few alliances"

"Who?" I think she is genuinly intregued, but with how tired we are, enthusiasm is hard to judge

"Heather with Lindsay and Beth for one. And Trent and Gwen sure seem tight too. Woudn't suprise me"

"They sure are"

"Think we should do that?"

"What?" She moves her head, looking straight at me. Seeming really puzzled

"An alliance. You know, maybe we could even make a deal. Where if one of us wins, we share the 100k. 50k. Sound okay? Or is my sleepiness making me dumb?"

"No, that sounds good. I can agree to that" She slowly gained a smile on her face, before laying back down. This time, just slightly closer to me

I must have fallen asleep at some point, because I feel myself wake up. I open my eyes, and notice Courtney is cuddeling up to me in her sleep. Her arms across my chest.

I feel like I should wake her up, or atleast move her. But i'm so comfortable, I just pretend to go back to sleep. With how tired I am, I probably won't have to pretend for long. Besides, I don't wanna wake her up. She needs sleep too

Only a minute or so after, I have her moving slightly. Her head, that has previously used my head as a pillow had moved. I'm about to open my eyes to, but quickly close them shut, when I feel her head fall back on my shoulder

I don't know if someone tried to move her, maybe she just moves around in her sleep. Or maybe, she was just as comfortable as I was. Honestly, kinda hope it's the latter

Geoff: "The lovebirds planning on waking up soon?" He nuzzled us both. Making the both of us get up. I don't really dare to look at her, I can feel a blush approaching.

Courtney: "We just fell asleep"

Geoff: "Hey it's okay man. Noah and Cody did it to"

Peter:" Oh, in that case then-.. Wait what now?"

Geoff: "Believe me, you will want to watch it after the show is done. It was awesome!"

Courtney: "Sooo.. what happened with the challenge?"

Geoff: "Gwen won"

I dare to look towards Courtney, only to see her dissapointed look. Guess I lost focus on the challenge.

We head back to the campsite, only to find all of our belongings outside, And Eva screaming from the inside "WHERE IS IT!? WHERE IS MY MP3 PLAYER!?"

She takes her head out of the window "ONE OF YOU MUST HAVE STOLEN IT, I NEED MY MUSIC! NO ONE IS GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL I GET MY MP3 BACK!"

Man, but I really need that shower! Guess mine and Courtneys first alliance meeting is going to be short. No one keeps me out of the bedroom!

Courtney: "Okay, whoever took it better give it up now, before she destroys the whole camp"

Heather: "Hey guys! Wow this place is a real mess"

Courtney: "Someone stole Eva's mp3 player"

Heather: "You don't mean this do you?" She shows it. Because obviously she has it "I was wondering who it belonged to. I found it by the campfire pit. You must have dropped it"

Eva comes out with joy "Oh thank you, thank you!"

Heather: "Sure thing"

"Turn a team against their own members, easiest trick in the book"

Eva: "So, sorry about that little misunderstanding. Guess no one stole it after all. Okay, maybe I overreacted a little.."

(Campfire pit)

Chris makes his speach. Man that man can talk. But all of us are to tired to really focus. Duncan, Bridgette, Courtney, Katie and sadie, Me, Tyler, DJ, Geoff all get a marshmallow. Leaving only Harold and Eva. Guess that means she voted for Harold. Cause I sure know everyone else voted for her.

Chris: "Harold. Eva, the dock of shame awaits

Eva: "Nice, really nice. Who needs this lame-o tv show anyway!?" She also kicks Chris on the way out for good measure

Chris: "Ow! Have a good night's sleep tonight. You're all safe"

We wave her off

Courtney: "Bye-bye Eva"

I can see Eva turn, holding a sharp stick. She throws it at Courtney "DUCK!" I take my hands on her shoulders, forcing her down a level. It goes past her

Courtney: "Touchy!" She then turns to me with an appreciative smile "Thanks"

"No problem"

The rest of us gather around the campfire, holding our marshmallows on sticks above the fire

Peter: "To the killer bass!"

Courtney: "And to not end up her again next week"
