Pairings: Cameron/Dawn, Mike/Zoey, Brick/Jo, Dakota/Sam

All Total Drama characters are the property of Teletoon.

After losing the challenge in Finders Creepers, the Mutant Maggots attend their first elimination ceremony. However, instead of voting somebody off, Brick volunteers to be eliminated for breaking his 'code'. In a shocking twist, though, Chris instead switches him to the Toxic Rats…

Later...

Mutant Maggots Cabin (Guys)

(It is late at night, right after the Maggots' Campfire Ceremony. Brick is inside the guys' cabin, now packing his belongings in preparation for switching to his new team.)

Mike: Hey, Brick. Listen, you didn't need to do that, you know. We weren't even going to vote you off anyway.

Brick: I know, Mike. It's just that I wouldn't have felt very good had we voted somebody else off. After all, it was my fault that we lost.

Cameron: No it wasn't! Out of all of us you definitely worked the hardest during that challenge! I think all of us forgot the penalty Chris mentioned, so we should have remembered. Don't blame yourself entirely!

Brick: True, but you remember what happened. I was captured early on during the challenge! I was truly pathetic when it came to being in the dark. By the way, whom would we have voted off?

Mike: Probably Jo. She was being way too cutthroat during the challenge, plus she was the one who told you to go on without us! I actually would've liked to see the look on her face had we actually voted her off.

Cameron: Yes, I concur with Mike. Getting rid of her would've been no loss to us, and she's definitely the most unkind person I've ever met in my life…okay, she's the only unkind person I've ever met in my life. I guess what I'm trying to say is, that we'd much rather have you here than Jo.

Brick: Thanks guys. Now, before I go, I just want to say that I'm going to miss having you guys as teammates. Although we'll soon be opponents, you guys will still be my friends.

Cameron: Aw, thanks! (He gives both Cameron and Mike a hug, then begins to make his way out of the cabin)

Mike: Oh, and Brick?

Brick: Yes?

Mike: Be careful over there, because some of those guys on the Rats seem a bit shady. Just make sure to stay on their good side, okay?

Brick: Don't worry, I'll be careful. Well, good luck…Maggots. (He salutes his teammates with a tear in his eye, and heads out of the cabin. As he's walking outside, he hears a coughing noise, and turns around to see somebody standing in the shadows.)

? : Well, I guess Mr. Lame doesn't have any game. Why did you quit, you dolt?

Brick (He sighs at this): What do you want, Jo? Make it quick, please, because it's really late.

Jo: Listen, I'm not sure what you were thinking at the ceremony, but I just want to say that you're really lucky Chris let you stay. That was really stupid of you, and you lucked out. Big time.

Brick: I wasn't trying to luck out, Jo. I actually wanted to leave this place, more than anywhere I've ever wanted to get away from in my life. I wasn't being stupid, either; I was trying to leave with my honor intact. Besides, why do you care?

Jo: You know, I really don't know. I guess I could have just let you walk away just now, without saying a single word. However, I think you did this for a reason. Whatever that is, I'm going to find out.

Brick: Listen, Jo. I'm not trying to hide anything from you. I simply quit, but Chris decided to switch me over to the other team. I would have been content with leaving, but it simply seems that that did not happen. Okay? Besides, you…you wouldn't understand. (Jo stares at him for a few minutes, before breaking the silence once again.)

Jo: Look, Captain Crunch. If there's one thing I'm not, it's stupid. I know you're up to something. I'll be watching you, just so you know.

Brick: I'm not the scheming, conniving person that you think I am, Jo. (He sighs.) Listen, I don't have time for this. I have to leave now. Oh, and good luck winning those challenges without me. (Brick begins to walk away with his stuff.) Goodnight, Jo. (He continues to walk away, until Jo can no longer see him in the darkness.)

Jo: Oh, I will, Brickhouse. I will. Just you wait. (She walks back into the cabin, and falls asleep.)

Confession Cam

Brick: Okay, okay. You want to know why I quit? It's because…if I hadn't, they would have voted off Jo instead. I don't know why, but…she just…I highly valued her as a teammate. She's just really important to me, and I didn't want to lose her. Luckily, I got to stay, as well. Perhaps I'll have another chance to…oh, I don't even know. I just hope I'm not out of time…

(Static)

Jo: Okay, I'll admit that I'm not too happy about Brick leaving our team. I mean, now the Rats are even with us! It's just too bad that we lost...I wish we had won, but I guess you can't change the past. To make matters worse, now I think Brick might ally with the Rats and try to get revenge on us Maggots! We HAVE to win the next challenge…

(Static)

Mike: Okay, I'm in a pretty sticky situation right now. Well, for one I still have some of that spider's webbing all over my hands…gross. Oh, and I also apparently kissed Anne Maria in front of Zoey during the challenge. What the hell am I going to say to Zoey? Christ, everything seems to be going wrong for me today! Oh, and we lost Brick, who was a good friend of mine and was very important to this team. Man, things couldn't get any worse…

End of Confessionals

Toxic Rats Cabin (Guys)

Lightning: Aw yeah! We finally won our first challenge tonight! Sha-PARTY!

Sam: Nah, I'm good man. All I want to do right now is play more of my new game, Action Island: World Tour.

Scott: Yeah, I sort of have a headache. I don't really feel like doing anything at the moment. (He says this in a disappointed tone.)

Lightning: Hm. Alright, party can wait. Anyways, WE WON! WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Scott: SHUT UP!

Lightning: Whoops, sorry. Lightnin' just got a little carried away. (Dawn, having heard the noise, walks over to the guys' side of the cabin.)

Dawn: Is everything okay in here? I heard a lot of shouting.

Scott: Oh, it's nothing. Beef-head here was just shouting at the top of his lungs for no reason whatsoever. (He clutches his head.) Ooooooooh, my head…

Dawn: Are you okay, Scott? You appear to have a headache…

Scott: Yeah, a killer one, at that. I just need to go outside for a while for some peace and quiet… (He is about to leave, but then he sees Brick at the door, which causes him to jump back in surprise.) Whoa! What is HE doing here?

Sam: Is that Brick? I'm not sure what he would be doing here at this hour…

Lightning: Maybe he's here to congratulate us on our victory! Or, better yet, sha-party with us! Hey, maybe that's pizza he has with him!

Scott: No, no doofus! He's not here to "party", and that's just a duffel bag. (Brick walks into the Rats' cabin, noticing that many eyes are on him.)

Brick: Um, hello guys. What's going on?

Sam: What are you doing here, man? It's really late, you know…

Dawn: And why do have all your stuff with you?

Brick: Well, you see, I was eliminated tonight at my team's elimination ceremony. However, instead of hurling me Chris switched me over to your team instead. I don't know why he did it, but it looks like I'm with you guys now.

Sam: Oh. Well, that's cool, heh-heh.

Lightning: Welcome to the team, Macho-man! I'm sure you're gonna be glad to be on a team of winners! Sha-yeah!

Brick: Uh, thanks…man. Yeah, I'm not sure I know all of your names. I'd like to get to know my new teammates, though. (He says this as he shakes Dawn's hand.)

Scott: Ugh, let's save the name game for tomorrow. I'm sorry, but I'm just really feeling bad for some reason…

Dawn: But Scott, we can't be a full team if-

Brick: Nah, he's right. I think we've all been through some, uh, drama tonight. I guess hitting the hay right now wouldn't hurt or anything.

Lightning: Sha-wait! First, we make a toast to our new teammate! (He grabs five of his energy drinks from his duffel bag, then hands everybody one.) To Brick!

Everyone: To Brick!

Scott: Good. Now that that's done, I'm going to go for a little walk… (He turns to the others.) alone.

Sam: Um…okay. (He looks oddly at Scott as he leaves the cabin.)

Lightning: All right, time to sleep and to recharge the Lightnin'! (He jumps onto his bed.) Sha-night night, everyone!

(Dawn returns to her side of the cabin, and everybody gets into their bunks. After a few minutes, the lights go out, and everybody is fast asleep.)

Confession Cam

Scott: All right, now those fools won't know that I'm planning all of their demises out here. They trust me far too much! Ha-ha! Well, on the other hand a few things didn't go as planned tonight. For one, thanks to Sam we actually won a challenge, and now they're all so f**king jubilant about it. Also, we now actually gained another member, so I'm guessing that it will take even MORE time to vote everyone off! Sucks, I know, but I DO have a "Plan B" up my sleeve for this. Watch out, Rats! Prepare to get shortchanged! (He starts to laugh evilly, but accidentally swallows a horsefly, causing him to choke on it and fall headfirst into the toilet.)

(Static)

Lightning: Team Lightnin' scored BIG tonight! Now we've got it locked, and are headed to stardom! All we need is a few more wins and…Sha-POW! Goodbye Maggots! It's foolproof, I promise you.

(Static)

Sam: Scott really acted weird tonight. I mean, during the challenge he was just sort of an asshole, but even after that he's acted so…strange. He seems to like being alone, that I can understand. I just have this strange feeling that I should keep an eye on him more…

(Static)

Dawn: I saw many intense auras tonight. Brick had a large shade of colors that showed he was upset, but somewhat relieved. Maybe that has to do with him and Jo…perhaps. Lightning's was boasting intensely after the challenge; he was very jubilant about the win. Sam was glad to have won for us, since his aura was radiating more than usual, as well. Scott on the other hand…I don't know what to make of him. He's just odd because his aura is so cloudy and…hard to interpret. I guess I'll have to watch him and see what he will do…

End of Confessionals

The Next Morning…

Toxic Rats Cabin (Guys)

(Everybody is sleeping peacefully in their beds.)

Scott (talking in his sleep): Ugh. Nyeh. Land-shark…go away! (Suddenly, a loud noise blares into the cabin, and immediately causes Scott and Sam to shoot out of bed.)

Sam: Great Aunt of Zebes! My ears!

Scott: What the hell is happening?

Lightning (now suddenly awake): I'm up, Coach! Lightnin' is up! (He jumps off of his bunk and runs towards the door, only to crash into Scott and Sam.)

Brick (now waking up to his alarm clock, which is playing the Reveille): Aaaaaaaaah. Rise and shine, soldiers! (He runs outside and passes Lightning, Sam, and Scott who are lying on the ground, moaning in pain, and have the noise ringing in their ears.)

Sam: So, how about that new guy?

Confession Cam

Sam: Wow. I've never heard that much loud noise since I played Rock Hero IV: Rock n' Rule! And trust me, that is really saying something.

(Static)

Lightning: Man, I was having an amazing dream last night! I was about to score a touchdown and win the Super-Bowl! That is, until that new guy's alarm clock woke me up! Plus, there's no way Lightnin' is ever joining the military now, because it'd be real tough to hear that every damn morning! Man, I have to wonder what kind of stuff Brick dreams about…

(Static)

Scott: Stupid Brick! He's going to get it, you know-like this! (He pounds Brick's alarm clock in his hands and drops it in the toilet.) Ha! Wait…what the- (he is suddenly hit by a stream of toilet water) BLUUUURGH! AUUUGH!

End of Confessionals

Mutant Maggots Cabin (Guys)

(Cameron is in his sleeping bag, making observations of Mike's "multiple personalities".)

Cameron (watching Mike, intrigued): All right. Let's see if I can get the next one…

Mike (talking in his sleep): C'mon guys, settle down.

Mike (as Svetlana): All right, six-feet landing, Svetlana. Practice makes perfect…hi-ya… (Mike jumps off of the bed, and lands on the ground with a painful crunch. However, he remains asleep.)

Mike (as Vito): You're goin' down, twinkle-toes…

Mike (as Chester): I've had it with you punks! Can't I get some good old-fashioned sleep around here?

Cameron (taking notes): Fascinating!

Confession Cam

Cameron: So far, I've documented four different personalities in Mike: himself, then Chester, Svetlana, and Vito! All have their advantages and disadvantages, it seems. Mike is like a walking, living psychology book, and he's a real page-turner!

End of Confessionals

Mike (now waking up): Ooooooooh man. I have a huge headache…and why am I on the floor?

Cameron: Oh, you fell out of bed two minutes ago. I was surprised you didn't wake up at first, actually.

Mike: That's odd. Hey Cam, listen. I need your help.

Cameron: With what?

Mike: Look, I'm really scared that I messed up things with Zoey. I kissed Anne Maria in front of her, and I'm not sure if she's going to forgive me! What should I do?

Cameron: Well, I say give her time to cool off. Then, maybe later, you can talk to her about it and work it out. Then, you should be fine and dandy.

Mike: Hey, you're right! Everything is going to be fine! (He walks up to the door and swings it open.) All right, world! Prepare for Uncle Mikey! (He marches out of the cabin, with his chest held high.)

Cameron: Um, okay. I just hope he doesn't think he's invincible now…

Mutant Maggots Cabin (Girls)

Zoey (yawning): Gee, it sure is a rotten day. (She is sitting on the top bunk, sulking.)

Jo: What? That sure sounds weird coming from you, flower girl.

Zoey: I know. It's just that I feel so…betrayed.

Jo: Betrayed? How? (At that moment, Anne Maria walks in, and is spraying her hair as usual.)

Zoey: YOU! (She lunges at Anne Maria, and starts clawing at her.)

Anne Maria: HEY! Stop it! (She retaliates, which causes Jo to step between them and, quite literally, break the two apart.)

Jo: You two stop it! I don't know what the hell this is about, but just put it aside for now, because you two are on the same team.

Anne Maria: Jesus Christ! What the hell was that for, Muffinhead? Don't get your panties in a knot!

Zoey: I need to go out for some fresh air… (She stomps out, and slams the door behind her.)

Jo: Weird. (Zoey proceeds to the outside areas, and walks around while looking sadly at the ground.)

Mike (sees Zoey walking around): Hey, Zoey! It's Mike! I want to talk to you for a- (She ignores him, and continues walking away.) Damn it. I suppose this is going to be harder than I thought…

Meanwhile…

Campfire Pit

Dawn: Hmmm… This stone is shaped beautifully. I believe it will do for my collection. (She places it into a black trash bag that she is carrying with her.) Now, I do believe that that some wood from this pit will be nice… (She then looks over to see Brick run over to her, then slow to a walk.)

Brick (while saluting Dawn): Good morning, fellow teammate. Need any help collecting wood? (He leans over to help her.)

Dawn: No thanks. I can collect this wood easily, and only a certain kind will do. You know, you don't have to be so nice to me.

Brick: Okay. But it is in my nature to be nice…there's nothing wrong with that, right?

Dawn: Of course not. Although, just because you have insecurities with your image doesn't mean- (Suddenly, Dawn cups her hands over her mouth, knowing she said something potentially hurtful.)

Brick: Wait, what the- who told you that?

Dawn (now ashamed): Oh, I'm so sorry Brick. I didn't mean to say that out loud. You see, I have this "quirk" that let's me know these things, and…I shouldn't have said that. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings.

Brick: Well, no. You didn't hurt my feelings, Dawn. You're absolutely right. However, I always try to improve myself every day.

Dawn: I…I didn't freak you out? Well, I'm glad I didn't offend you. I guess that I can also improve, as well. I shouldn't say those things. You know, even with what I said, you're a really nice guy, Brick. I'm glad you're on our team now.

Brick: Thanks, Dawn. We are all imperfect. However, I know that people like you and me mean well despite those…odd traits we have.

Dawn: That is very true, Brick. You have a good perception of reality. Now, I have to continue on my rounds, so I'll see you later.

Brick: Goodbye, Dawn! Man, now I feel great. (He picks up a log in one hand.) I now know why I came here to this island! I came to improve, to become stronger, and now I can finally gather the courage I need to- (Suddenly, he hears a whistle blowing.)

? : Ten-hut!

Brick: Sir yes sir! (He raises his hand, hits himself in the face with the log, and falls backwards onto the ground. Then, he looks up and sees a familiar face.)

Jo: Playing patty-cakes with the new playmates, huh? Bet you love doing all that stuff that's so frou-frou la-di–da, right? Well enjoy the honeymoon, G.I Joke! Because today we're bringing the pain!

Brick: Listen to me, Jo. Just stop trying to get under my skin, okay? I know you have this, like, primal urge to try and challenge me at every chance you get, but I don't like it anymore. So please, just stop. (He gives her a jab in the chest with his finger.)

Jo: What are you talking about, brick-for-brains? (She gives him a push.) If you're trying to make me feel bad that we lost you, then you can think again. See, the thing is, we don't need you anymore! I'm a champion sprinter, shot-putter, and squat thruster! (She thrusts her lower body at him, and as he watches her, he becomes dazed from doing so.) I'm going to whip all of these noodles into shape. (She points to Cameron.)

Cameron (reading from a book): "How to do A Push-Up". Step 1: Lie on the ground. Step 2: Push…up. (He attempts to do a push-up, but he fails miserably at it, and falls back to the ground.) Ooooooooh. My arms…

Jo: Well, we will get them trained sooner or later. Anyways, I'll see you around, Jarhead. (She walks away while looking disapprovingly at Cameron.) Do more, scrawny.

Brick: And a crappy day to you, too! (He stomps angrily away, seething.)

Confession Cam

Brick: My god! Jo always finds a way to make me mad. I mean, I care about her very, very much, but…she doesn't feel the same way about me. She doesn't understand. I try to be a nice and caring gentleman, but she has no respect for anyone. If only there was a way…

(Static)

Cameron: Man, those push-ups really drained my carbohydrates. If only there was a way for me to gain more strength in my arms…

End of Confessionals

Cameron (still exhausted from the push-ups): God, I'm so pooped right now.

Dawn: Need a hand, Cameron?

Cameron: Huh? Oh, sure. Thank you, Dawn. (She helps him to his feet. While she does, Cameron looks at her, and he finds her to be beautiful. Her hair shimmers in the sun, and her eyes are a light blue. He stares into them for a few moments)

Dawn: Cameron, are you okay? You seem to have a lot on your mind.

Cameron: Huh? Oh, sorry. Heh-heh. Well, to be honest I am sort of stressed. There are so many things that are making me feel kind of out of it, so to say.

Dawn: I know what you mean. Does it have anything to do with your team?

Cameron: I guess. We did sort of fall apart last night, since so many things happened. We lost Brick, and now Mike is in this love triangle with Anne Maria and Zoey. He really likes Zoey, but you see...

Dawn: Vito took over and kissed the other girl?

Cameron: Exac- (He freezes, and looks Dawn square in the eye.) Wait. You know about...?

Dawn: About Mike's Multiple Personality Disorder? Yes. I also know that he is fighting with them for control. Also, Jo is being a bully to you?

Cameron: Holy rabbit pellets! I had thought I was the only one! Yeah, Jo can be mean. She does rule with an iron fist. Anyways though, I'm so glad that you know! Can you tell me anything else? So far I've seen three alternate personalities.

Dawn: Interesting. My senses indicate a fourth personality that has not yet revealed itself to me. We'll likely have to keep an eye out for it, for we don't know what it is yet.

Cameron: Huh. That's some pretty cool information. How do you even know that?

Dawn: I can sense auras, as well as thoughts. It is my gift. People never believe me when I tell them, but I can assure you that I'm not lying.

Cameron: Really? Hm. Okay, I'm going to think of something so you can tell me what it is! (He thinks of something.)

Dawn: Oh, testing me are you? Well, let me see…you're thinking about monarch butterflies!

Cameron (surprised): Spot on! They're my favorite animals. Okay, let me try another one… (He thinks of something else.)

Dawn: You have in your mind…spaghetti and Caesar salad!

Cameron (shocked): My favorite meal! You're really good, Dawn. (He then gets an idea.) Want to try one more?

Dawn (smiling): Sure, Cameron. Anything you say.

Cameron: Okay here it goes… (He conjures up a thought.)

Dawn: Okay, let's see here…I can't see anythi- (Suddenly, Dawn stops talking, and begins to blush. Cameron looks over at her, and smiles. Knowing that she had indeed read his mind, he too blushes.)

Cameron: So?

Dawn (her face now bright red): Wow…Cameron, I- I- I'm speechless…

Cameron: So you are a mind reader. Dawn, I… I think I kind of like you.

Dawn: Oh Cameron…I think like you too. (The two move closer.) Here, this is for you. (She places a kiss on his cheek, and after a few seconds, pulls away.)

Cameron: Thank you, Dawn. I just want to say that you're the most amazing girl I've ever met. Okay, you're the only girl I've ever met that is this amazing. All I can say is that that's one of the most thrilling things that have happened to me in my entire life. After being in a bubble for so long…

Dawn: I know Cameron. Your life is very visual to me. You've suffered a massive loss of adequate time in the outside world, and have been confined indoors most of your life. You're somewhat the opposite of me- I have spent so much time outside that it is like my home. (She places another kiss on his forehead.) Poor thing.

Cameron: I know. (He realizes something.) Hey, Dawn. I think I have to go. I'm so sorry. But there's something I have to take care of…

Dawn: I understand that it must be important. I'll let you go. But I hope to see you again. Remember, this can be our meeting spot. It's at the pit, and don't you forget. (She pinches his cheek.)

Cameron: I won't, Dawn. I won't. Now, if we don't have enough time to meet again before the challenge, I just want to wish you good luck in today's challenge. Wow, that sounded really redundant.

Dawn (giggling): Not too redundant. Good luck to you too, Cam! See you! (He sets off.) Oh, I just love that boy…

What new romance has sprouted?

What does Cameron have to do?

Can Brick find a way to do whatever he's planning?

Will Scott cause trouble? And what's his "Plan B"?

Will Lightning get a chance to have his party?

And can Sam finally beat Rock Hero IV?

Figure out the answers to these questions and more, next time!
