"Bass. Gophers. Today's challenge is a true summer camp experience." Chris explains to us as we all line up with our teams. "A canoe challenge trip. You'll be paddling your canoes across the lake to Boney Island." he says in an ominous tone as he wiggles his fingers.

"When you get there you must fortage your canoes to the othr side of teh island. Which is a two hour hike through trecherous, dense jungle."

"We gotta for-what?" Geoff asks while scratching his head.

"For-tage." Chris says making air quotes. "Dude walk with your canoe."

"Oh."

"When you arrive at the other end of the island, you'll build a rescue fire that will be judged by me. The first team to paddle home and return their canoes to the beach wull be the winner of invincibility. Move campers, move!"

We all take off running towards the water. "Oh wait, one more thing I forgot to mention. Legend has it, that if you take anything from the island. You'll be cursed forever."

"Oh yeah, a cursed island! Woo!" Owen exclaims as we all look at him with wide eyes.

"Now, get in your canoes and lets have some fun!"

We slowly walk to our canoes will looking at Owen with wide eyes.Beth soon comes running from the bathroom with toilet paper on her shoe.

***confessionals***

Cody: "Chris told us to pick a paddle partner." He makes finger guns and smirks. "It was time for me to make my move. If I could just get Gwen alone for five minutes I knew I could woo her with my manly charms."

***confessionals end****

We get to the stairs and I walk down holding onto the railing. Soon someone comes behind me and bumps me in the shoulder.

"Careful clumsy." I see Duncan smirking as he runs over to Harold and Sadie and wraps his arms around them.

"Huh?"

***confessionals***

Duncan: "What? Stuck on this show for the next eight weeks with hot girls. Might as well flirt with some of them while I'm at it." The delinquent says with a smug grin.

***confessionals end***

I turn to Gwen who watched our interaction with a shrug. She laughs and I motion towards the lake. She smiles until Cody wraps an around around her.

"What do you say Gwen, you, me and uncharted waters?" He says motioning towards the water. She takes Cody by the arm and puts him in a headlock.

"Ooh Ooh Y/n come with us!" Izzy says hitting her canoe. Leshawna looks at her crazy as she holds on for dear life.

I look at Trent who would be by next choice, but see he's being fangirled on by Lindsey and Beth. I sigh but make my way over to Izzy and Leshawna. Gwen watches and sighs.

"Fine. But I'm in charge." she says walking towards the canoe.

"That's the way I like it!" Cody says with a dumb grin.

***confessionals***

Cody: "Yes! Yes! Yes! It is so on." He sarts playing and imaginary guitar.

Gwen: "Cody? He's like an annoying little brother." She frowns and looks to the side. "A really annoying little brother."

Cody: *still playing imaginary guitar*

Gwen: "So much for hooking up with Y/n. But at least Trent isn't occupying her attention."

****confessionals end****

"Just follow my techinque girlies. I'm 1/87th Cherokee you know?" Izzy informs us while flipping into the canoe. Leshawna and I strap on our life jackets. "Which means the tribe could totally like claim me at anytime."

Leshawna gets inside the canoe and I push the both of them into the water. "Let's hope it's today." Leshawna whispers to me.

I see Cody struggling to pull Gwen into the water so I pause and stop to help. "Hey guys, I'll be right back." Izzy nods and Leshawna waves her hand.

I go behind Gwen and Cody's canoe and help push it into the water. Gwen smiles and crosses her arms while Cody gives a thumbs up.

"Thanks."

"Of course." I say to Gwen as we smile at each other. I then wave at her and go back to pushing Leshawna and Izzy into the lake.

***confessionals***

Gwen: "Y/n's so cool. I love how strong and independent she is. And she looked good pushing our canoe in the water." Gwen says while smirking.

Cody: "I could definitely push our canoe in. I just wanted to see Y/n. That's all."

Y/n: "Gwen's so amazing. I'm glad we're cool again after the whole diary thing. She hasn't said anyhting about it though. But what would we even say? "Hey I like you let's go out." I don't even know if I like her. Well I mean I do. But I'm here to win not to date. And then there's Trent he's such a guy. And now Duncan's trying to flirt with me too...although I thought he had a thing for Courtney." I face palm and sigh. "This is so difficult."

***confessionals end***

Chris sets off a shotgun and prompts for us to begin paddling. I paddle with Izzy and Leshawna, Izzy in front and Leshawna in back. Izzy and I sing a song together as we enjoy out ride.

Meanwhile Gwen is suffering during her ride with Cody.

"So, you wanna go out sometime?"

"No."

"How about Friday night?"

"Uh...no."

"Saturday's good for me. How about Saturday?"

"I'm not going out with you. Ever."

"Okay, fine. Sheesh." He says putting his hands up in surrender. "So is Sunday out of the question?"

Gwen spins her oar around and knocks Cody in the nuts. He finally shuts up and holds his crotch.

***confessionals***

Cody: "Okay, maybe she wasn't quite ready for the Code-Meister."

***confessionals end***

"And then these bushmen taught us how to properly catch and cook crocodile..as well as koala."

"Uh, isn't killing a koala bear illegal?"

"Why would you wanna kill it?" I say to Izzy.

"Oh I don't know, probably yeah. And Y/n, I love animals too don't get me wrong. I was just doing what I was told for survival."

I look over to Trent but see Lindsey cuddling up onto his lap. I roll my eyes and keep rowing my canoe.

"What's up with you hunny, you got all quiet."

"Nothing, I'm good. Promise." I say with a smile, although I was lying.

★○★○★○★

"I thnk I know why you keep shutting me down." Cody says to Gwen. "It's because of Y/n, isn't it?"

Gwen stops rowing for a minute and he takes that as a chance to continue.

"Look, me and Y/n and like this.", he says crossing his fingers. "Very hot girl. And I can definitely sense a "I'm into Gwen" vibe from her. Especially with the way she's always ready to defend you. I'll put in a good word for you if you want?"

Gwen smiles and raises her eyebrows. "Wow. That's really cool of you."

Cody shrugs and looks up into the sky. "Ah well."

"If you can get us in the same boat on the way home, I'll so owe you one."

"Interesting that you would say that. See, I'm in a bit of trouble myself."

"What do you mean?"

"Well I kinda bet Owen that if I got your bra, he'd do all my dishes for the rest of the competition-" Gwen immeditely hits him in the crotch again. "Right... asking too much. Got it."

The air gets foggy as we near the island. We get to the shore and stop rowing.

"Okay, can you see that skull." Izzy jumps out of the canoe. "How cool is that, it's like this palce is haunted or something!"

We hear a scary noise coming from teh island while animals start to scurry and the leaves ruslte.

"Let's just get this over with." Gwen says as she and Cody lift their canoe.

★○★○★○★

We all run with our canoes further into the forest.There were many skulls lying around. The aura was gloomy and the sky was dark. Izzy seemed to be enjoying this excursion while everyone else was terrified.

A tree falls down to block our path and some huge beavers reveal themselves from the shawdows. We all run away and the teams split up from one another.

We run into a dead end and have to stop in our tracks. Luckily when they see the water, the beavers turn around and go back to where they came from.

"Hey, they're leaving." Trent points out.

"Did anybody pack a change of underwear?" Owen asks the group making us laugh. "No seriously." He says before farting. This lures some geese out of their nests and causes us to run away again.

"I'm definitely gonna need more underwear."

"Someone do something!"

Cody gasps and then reaches into his pocket. "Oh wait! Look."

"Where did that come from?"

"I was gonna make us a romantic picnic..."

"With bread from your pants?"

"Just throw it already." Trent interrupts their conversation. The geese take the bread and leave us alone. But, the bass take the lead.

"Come on the race isn't over yet. We still have to burn stuff." Izzy attempts to encourage us. We get back to running with our canoes. The other team goes right and we decide to go the other way.

Trent, Lindsey and Beth lead the way as we follow them down the opposite trail. Soon Trent starts to sink.

"Woah. Guys uh...don't wanna panic here but I'm shrinking!"

***confessionals***

Trent: "Right. How am I supposed to know what quicksand looks like? It looks like sand!"

Chris: He laughs at the camera. "Can you believe they fell for that!" He continues laughing. "I set it up...but I didn't think anyone would walk into it. That's just great."

***confessionals end****

"Uh oh...", Trent mutters as his sinking rate increases.

"Trent's stuck! I'm coming Trent!"

"No dont!"

Lindsey hops into the quicksand to try and help Trent.

"I'm stuck too!", she says with her hands in the air. "I so didn't see that coming."

As they sink further into the sand, Cody comes up with a plan to get them out. He drops his canoe and hangs from a vine,like Tarzan. He swings by Trent's extended hand and flies face first into a tree. Then the vine falls where Trent's hand is and he hauls Lindsey and himself out of the quicksand.

"Woo, thanks bro, you're a lifesaver." Trent says to Cody giving him a high five. Cody snaps out of his daze and shakes his head.

"I am?"

"My hero." Lindsey hugs the boy and smiles at his heroics. "Where did you learn to do that?"

"I watch a lot of movies." His response is bashful due to this newfound attention he was receeving.

"This is very touching guys, but we've still got a challenge to win." Gwen snaps everyone out of their daze and gets them to lock in.

★○★○★○★

The bass lagged behind as we were already on the beach constructing our fire. Heather rubbed the stick together with her hands while Leshawna tried to spark it by hitting rocks up against each other.

But, the bass quickly got their fire lit.

"Hey, how come you did that so fast?", I ask from beside Leshawna.

Duncan flashes his lighter and sparks it. Unlucky for us, Chris allows it.

★○★○★○★

I find a secluded area to pick up sticks and fail to notice Cody sneaking up behind me.

"Hey Y/n." I shriek and drop all of my sticks.

"Cody...hey dude. What's wrong?"

"Nothing much really."

"You were really cool back there, saving Trent and all." I compliment him. He pops open a soda and offers me some. I shake my head and decline it.

"Let's talk Y/n, Gopher to Gopher."

"Sure, what do you want to talk about?"

"Gwen."

"Hmm. Why? Is she alright?"

"See, that's what I wanted to talk about. She's always shooting me down everytime I hit on her."

"You don't really have a way with words..."

"And it's because she likes you."

"Um, I know that." I say as I start to get flustered. "You told me what she wrote in her diary." I say as I play with a piece of my hair. "So what?"

"So...you gonna swoop on on that or what?" He says nudging me in the sides. I pull my knees up to my chest and fully face him.

"Honestly, I'm not sure. I love Gwen. She's amazing. Like my best friend here on the island. And we have a good thing going, I don't wanna ruin that...Plus I also think Trent's kinda cool-"

"Trent?"

"Yeah. Trent. He's so nice to me and a great guy. But I don't know... I don't want to get into a relationship, that's too complicated. And I'm here for the competiton. It's Total drama, not total romance."

"I see." Cody says stroking his chin. "Well if you ever wanna talk, I'm here. For the time being, switch canoes with me. Go sit with Gwen and I'll take your spot with Izzy and Leshawna."

I smile at Cody and nugde him in the side. "You're really sweet Cody. Honestly."

He shrugs his shoulders and starts to blush.

"Ladies, are you two done with your tea party? We're in the middle of a challenge here.", Heather interrupts us.

★○★○★○★

"This ought to do the trick." Izzy says tossing something into the air. "It's a homemade fire starter made with tree sap and sage. Stand back guys, this is gonna be big." Izzy gets a crazy look in her eye asshe smiles down at her item.

We slowly start to back away as she throws it into our fire. It causes a huge explosion. The light refraction is almost blinding as we all shield our eyes. The wind even sent Chris' helicopter back a little.

"We have our fire building winner! Point for the gophers!"

"Where did you learn to do that?" Heather asks to Izzy who ended up on the ground from the explosion.

"I once did a summer training with the reserves. Yeah I got in some trouble there and blew up the kitchen by accident, which is why the RCMP is like still all over my butt." She says while leaning onto Heather. "I am so totally AWOL."

★○★○★○★

The challenge ends and we're all walking back towards our canoes.

"Y/n wait."

I stop walking with Lindsey and Beth and turn to face Cody. He tugs on my arm and starts to lead me towards a canoe.

"Um, yes?"

"Here, swap with me. I uh, wanted to get a one on one convo with Izzy to learn more about how she made our fire bigger."

"Okay cool." I say with a shrug and go over to Gwen's canoe. She waves and I return the wave as well.

We start rowing our canoe and I spot that the killer bass aren't moving. Apparently they have no oars. Izzy slows down her rowing to offer them some advice.

"You guys could get someone to swim behind the boats and push them. I did that once with this huge 50ft yacht and the whole crew had to flutter kick and it took like eight days to get to shore. And like four of us got eaten by sharks, haha I didn't but it was really insane. Okay later!" Leshawna gets mad and starts rowing their canoe, causing Izzy to fall.

Before we can get to the shore, the Killer Bass pass us with their canoes ontop of each other and DJ operating as the motor.

★○★○★○★

"And now, the always anxiety inducing mashmallow ceremony." Chris says spinning the plate of marshmallows on his hand. "When you hear your name come and get a marshmallow. Beth."

"Trent. Gwen. Cody. Owen. Heather. Y/n. Leshawna. One last marshmallow. The person who doesn't get this marshmallow will walk off the dock of shame and take a ride with the boat of losers. Who's it gonna be?"

Lindsey just plays with her hair while Izzy confidently smirks at Chris.

Soon a helicopter hovers over our campfire getting all of our attention. They shine a light on us and begin speaking.

"IZZY. WE KNOW YOU ARE DOWN THERE. YOU ARE UNDER ARREST."

"You mean all that trash you were talking was true?" Leshawna says while shielding her eyes.

"No, just the RCMP part. See ya. YOU'LL NEVER GET ME ALIVE!" She yells and then takes off running to avoid the helicopter.

"Well, that wraps that up."

We all stare wide eyed at the scene in front of us.
