A Day at the Beach

A Day at the Beach is the seventh episode of Total Drama: Resurrection.
== Synopsis ==
The remaining nineteen contestants must go on a scavenger hunt as the teams are further separated into groups to face another.
== Script ==
=== Intro - Recap ===
Setting: Pahkitew Island, the Dock, nighttime
Blaineley:
Previously on Total Drama: Resurrection…
Chris:
Heather and Topher bonded as she used him to claim McLean Brand Immunity Statue while Samey watched as her friendship with Jasmine quickly deteriorated. Gwen and Dawn sat down over tea and had a conversation about blooming and wilting plants and friendships proceeding the challenge. The contestants must act out a play written by the stage’s newest breakout star, me.
Blaineley:
After Courtney and Topher duked it out for the leading role, it was time for the show to begin. Despite a rocky start, the Ravenous Raccoons had a stellar run with Lindsay and Amy leading them to victory while the Vicious Vipers was turbulent with rancid failures from both Gwen and Jasmine, with Topher and Heather trying to carry the rest of the weight of their scene on their shoulders.
Chris:
In the end, the voting was tight between Gwen and Jasmine, however, due to Courtney’s insistence, Gwen voted for herself, giving the majority vote to send her home, as the two finally made up on the docks as she was sent away.
 Blaineley:
How will Topher go about conversing with Jasmine and Shawn after he tried to vote her off?
Chris:
Will Amy and Samey, please god, finally clear the air?
Blaineley:
Will Lightning do anything interesting? Probably not.
Chris:
Find out today on…
TOTAL!
DRAMA!
RESURRECTION!
The theme song plays
=== Act One - The Cabins ===
Setting: Pahkitew Island, the Cabins, morning
Dawn, Jasmine, Samey, and Shawn have returned from the forest with two large baskets full of berries. Following the events of the vote the previous night, the Vipers sitting order had changed, Topher has moved from sitting beside Jasmine on the end, now between Anne Maria and Alejandro. For the Raccoons, the mood has changed as they still celebrate their challenge win.
Amy:
I’m beginning to love the taste of victory. I can even almost taste the two million dollars.
Courtney:
A shame that you won’t be winning. The only money you’ll taste is pennies.
Eva:
It’s good to see that you’re still as bitter as ever.
Courtney:
At least we haven’t lost as often as you, ape. We still have ten members.
Jasmine (glaring at Topher):
Although if we have to lose another, I know who it would be.
Courtney (irritated):
Yes, you. The one who’s done nothing but play second fiddle to her ex-boyfriend and get overly emotional when something doesn’t go your way.
Jasmine:
Excuse me? And just what is that supposed to mean?
Heather:
It means that you’re an adult but still act like a child and think that you can get away with it, Gwen. It’s time to grow up. All you’ve done since you’ve got here is complain about “betrayal” this, and “betrayal” that while pretending to be so self-important and that this team couldn’t function without you. Newsflash, not one of our challenge wins did you give us a winning performance. In fact, we just lost because of you and you should’ve been the one to leave.
Jasmine:
But I didn’t, I’m still here and I’m in this to win. Besides, at least I did the challenge, Gwen froze up an-
Anne Maria (angry):
No! Gwen made the attempt and froze up, you ran out of the challenge screaming and crying! You keep trying to throw her under the bus, even now when she’s not here to defend herself, just to keep trying to cover the fact that you should have went home!
Samey (trying to defuse the situation):
Come on, guys, it’s a brand new day! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the events of yesterday are behind us!
Courtney:
Cram it, piano teeth.
Sadie (stirring the pot):
I agree with Samey, although I’m so interested to hear from Topher about voting your alliance member out, and failing to do so.
Amy (gleefully malicious):
Yeah, tell us about it, Topher.
Topher:
Well, it was a really hard decision, I honestly wish I could’ve voted for both of them.
Sadie:
Oh, I see, and what made you swing the vote towards Jasmine?
Topher:
Well, considering that I had to work with both of them, I found that Gwen attempted to try and get through. She failed, but she tried. Jasmine, on the other hand, gave up and ran away screaming and crying.
Jasmine:
I’m claustrophobic, Topher! That’s what you don’t understand!
Tyler (failing to whisper to Lindsay):
Hey, Lindsay, what does claustrophobic mean?
Lindsay:
I think she’s afraid of Santa?
Courtney:
That’s not what it means, you twit!
Lindsay:
Oh, well, what does it mean?
Dave:
It means that she’s afraid of confined spaces.
Lindsay:
Oh, well, why is it called that?
Dave:
It’s called claustrophobic because it’s root is the Latin word, claustrum, which means “closed-in place,” and the suffix, phobos, which is Greek for “fear.”
Shawn:
Why do you know that off of the top of your head?
Dave:
In high school, I memorized all of Wikipedia instead of having friends.
Amy:
God, you are so pathetic.
Shawn:
Oh, leave him alone. Not all of us peaked in high school.
Amy:
Would you two just kiss and get it over with already?
Sadie:
It’s a real “will-they-won’t-they” for fans of skin tags.
Anne Maria and Topher turn to each other and burst out laughing after a few snickers of trying to hold back laughter.
Dave:
But neither of us have skin tags, how does that make sense?
Amy (teasing):
And how do you know that, Dave?
Dave:
We all literally changed in front of each other on day one.
Shawn (annoying, holding his head in his hands):
Dave, please stop talking. For the love of god.
Courtney:
Why do you care, Amy? You’ve been busy yourself with Scott and his dirtier cousin the entire time you’ve been here?
Topher:
Oh-ho!
Amy:
I have no interest in either of them. At all. I’m interested in winning, that is all.
Anne Maria:
A shame you won’t be winning.
Sadie:
And neither will you.
Heather:
Awfully strong words for someone that hasn’t been on television in ten years.
Amy:
I don’t think your whole one season of Real Househens of Canada five years after your mediocre run on All-Stars really cements you as the television star that you think you are. Like, at all.
Heather:
I dominate reality tv. Everyone tunes in when I’m on.
Amy:
From 2007 to 2013. Your time is over, bathroom clown.
Heather:
Even outside of reality tv, I’m a successful actress, model, singer, dancer. You can’t even beat your mute sister in a cheerleading competition. 
Samey:
Mute? I don’t think I’m that quiet, am I-
Topher, thoroughly enjoying the drama, uses his phone as a microphone, recording the argument.
Amy (standing up, yelling):
Maybe I didn’t want to be the head cheerleader, did you think of that?! Maybe I let her outperform me to let the little slug have a win?! If I wanted to be the head cheerleader, I could go out and get it if I wanted it, because I am talented?! You could never compete against me, because you don’t have any talent?! Baby, everything that I have, I worked my ass off because my talented ass didn’t have someone to buy my way to success?! You f[long censor noise]?!
Amy throws a handful of berries at Heather, who rises. Amy and Heather are face to face, arguing. Lindsay and Eva holding Amy back as Alejandro and Zoey hold back Heather.
Heather (arguing, but not yelling):
Well, guess what, you pencil-thin, no-lipped cow? I’m here, competing against you, and I’m successful. You have lost three members already and cannot even keep yourself from failing challenges to save your loser team. I came from wealth, yes, but let me tell you something. I can spot a cheap knock off from a mile away. I’m flattered that you modeled yourself after me, but you will never step to the original. You will never have the successes that I did. You will never be me. You are a pale comparison to me.
Topher (instigating):
Ooh, strong words from reigning queen of mean, Heather! Amy, are you just going to take that?
Amy:
I don’t want to be you, ghost. I am perfectly my own person with my own identity! If you don’t like it, then you don’t like it! At least I’m honest with people!
Jasmine:
Well, Amy, to be perfectly fair. Heather is very direct. I don’t like her, but I can respect her.
Alejandro:
You will never hear her mince words. She’s very honest. 
Heather (icy):
And there you have it. The results are in.
Amy (trying to calm down):
And the results are trash.
Lindsay:
Just breathe, Amy. In, out. In, out. Relax. 
An airhorn sound is released over the loudspeaker, followed by a familiar, but unwelcome voice.
Chris:
Attention adventurers, report to the forest clearing immediately!
Shawn:
Adventurers?
Jasmine:
I don’t like the sound of this.
Heather:
Well, since we have Shawn, you better start packing your garbage up now, Amy.
Eva:
If I were you, instead of playing mind games, you should try to focus on trying to win the game for your team, instead of resting and letting Shawn do all the work.
Heather:
And if I were you, I’d start wearing shirts with sleeves, soldier.
=== Act Two - The Challenge ===
Setting: Pahkitew Island, the Forest Clearing, noon
Blaineley, Chris, and Chef are standing in front of a large screen as the teams gather around him. Tensions still high as Amy and Heather glare at each other while Topher is typing on his phone. Chris looks absolutely giddy. He’s cooked up one hell of a doozy for sure this challenge.
Chris:
Welcome, my adventurers. Today’s challenge is a good old fashioned scavenger hunt!
Samey:
That’s it? Just a scavenger hunt? You promise? No tricks?
Chris:
You have my word, my dear.
Samey:
Oh! Well, that’s certainly a relief after these really rough challenges.
Blaineley:
What kind of stupid are you?
Chris:
Well, way to ruin the surprise, Blaineley. There is just one tiny little twist.
Shawn:
A blind man in Miami saw that one coming.
Chris:
For this scavenger hunt, your teams will be split up into groups of two to recover four objects. Since the Ravenous Raccoons have nine members and the Vicious Vipers have ten, the sole member of the Raccoons not selected will join the team of their choosing, and the two Vipers not selected will join one of the teams of their choosing.
Heather:
That’s not it.
Chris:
Okay, fine. You’ve dragged it out of me. The four groups from one team will compete against the other to bring the item back first. The team that brings the most items back and collects the points for the item wins.
Zoey:
Well, wait. If there’s only four items to find, how would that even be fair competition? One team would immediately win unless the other team could tie.
Blaineley:
Already taken care of, the last item to be found and returned will be worth three points. That way, the final item could potentially bring a one point lead to the team who finds it.
Zoey:
Oh, well, I guess that does solve it.
Amy:
That’s still not it. There’s another twist.
Chris:
You truly are wiser than you appear, Amy. Fair enough, there is one more twist. You will not be selecting your groups yourself, they will be randomly selected by the new digital spinning wheel!
Chris gives a wink to the camera. These groups will be, by no means, random.
Alejandro:
Well, that figures.
The screen flicks to life with the press of a button from a remote in Chris’ hand, a large digital roulette wheel appears on the screen. It rolls around, on one side of the screen, it lands on two pictures, Dawn and Lightning, on the other side of the screen, the two pictures land on Scott and Topher.
Chris:
Just a tutorial match up. Get it?
Everyone:
Yes.
Blaineley:
So let’s find out our first two pairs and what they’ll be competing for.
Chris pressed the same button, and the roulette wheel spins around. After a few moments, the two pictures on the left land on Amy and Samey. How random!
Samey (scared):
Uh-oh!
Amy (disgusted):
Oh no…
Chris:
Oh, yes! And that’s not all!
The roulette wheel on the right finally stops, with the two pictures landing on Alejandro and Topher. Topher looks pleased and Alejandro looks… indifferent.
Blaineley:
And the item that they’ll be searching for is…
The roulette wheel shifts between silhouettes between Samey and Alejandro’s pictures until it finally stops and slowly reveals itself into a color image of the Gilded Chris Award, returning from Action.
Chris:
The Gilded Chris Award! My first ever licensed product!
Chef:
The hint for this item is… it is hidden where sunlight cannot find it, and you must feel your way around. Up next…
Chris pressed the button again as the roulette wheel spins around and lands on Eva and Tyler for the Raccoons and Dave and Shawn for the Vipers. Again, so random, huh? The roulette wheel spins around and lands on an object that, when colorized, is revealed to be Heather’s Prehistoric Wig. Eva and Tyler high five and Dave and Shawn just look at each other.
Topher (upset):
Aw, what? I want that one!
Shawn:
Well, Dave, looks like we’re looking together.
Dave:
Yeah, I guess we are.
Amy:
Huh, I figured that you two would be happy about that.
Dave:
Oh, bite me.
Chef:
The hint for this item is… it is hidden where the cycle of life and death intertwine.
Chris:
Up next…
Another press of the button, another spin of the roulette wheel. The wheel lands on Dawn and Lindsay for the Raccoons and Anne Maria and Courtney for the Vipers. Anne Maria and Courtney immediately begin yelling at each other, talking over each other so no real words are heard, while friendly Lindsay hugs Dawn. Chef fires a starter's pistol in the air to silence the fighting girls as the roulette wheel lands on their item, Cameron’s lost Power Armor helmet.
Zoey:
Aw, Cameron. I miss him and Mike.
Heather:
How are they, Zoey?
Zoey:
They’re really good. Mike and I got engaged and Cameron moved in with us. 
Heather:
And how’s he doing without all his personalities?
Zoey:
He’s still having a hard time coping, but he’s slowly making progress with his therapist. He misses them all, though. 
Chef:
The hint for this item is… it is hidden where the element of life runs free.
Chris:
Up next…
Another push of the button, the final roulette wheel spin. The wheel lands on pictures of Lightning and Rodney for the Raccoons and Jasmine and Zoey for the Vipers. The roulette wheel lands on their item, Beth’s lost retainer.
Jasmine:
What is that?
Courtney:
That can’t be…
Heather:
How did it even get here?
Courtney:
That’s so gross!
Lightning:
Why? Sha-what is that?
Chris:
That one of a kind collectible is the winner of season two, Beth’s retainer. She left it on the film lot, and when Wawanakwa flooded, it managed to swim its way here. 
Chef:
The hint for this item is… it is hidden where a steep drop overlooks a deep dive.
Chris:
Now that we got that out of the way… Sadie! Heather! Scott! As you three were not picked by the wheel, you may now select your own group to join.
Blaineley:
Sadie, you’re up first!
Sadie:
Well, this is a really hard choice. I think I’ll pick Dawn and Lindsay, since she’s my second best friend!
Lindsay:
Ohemgee! This is going to be so fun!
Blaineley:
Heather, now the choice is yours.
Heather (with a sickeningly sweet smile):
I think that I’m going to have to go with my dear friends Anne Maria and Courtney.
Courtney:
I’m already paired with the ape, how much do I have to suffer?
Blaineley:
Scott, your turn.
Scott:
Well since I can’t go with the mean, pretty brunette girl with the blonde sister, I think that I’ll go with Zoey.
Upon hearing Scott say that he wanted to team with her, Amy makes a gagging motion after rolling her eyes. Scott and Zoey have a small hug as he joins her and Jasmine.
Chris:
Well, there you have it. Amy, Samey, Alejandro, and Topher; you are hunting the Gilded Chris Award. Eva, Tyler, Dave, and Shawn; you are hunting for Heather’s red wig. Dawn, Lindsay, Sadie, Anne Maria, Courtney, and Heather; you are hunting for Cameron’s lost Power Suit helmet. Lightning, Rodney, Jasmine, Scott, and Zoey; you are hunting down Beth’s retainer.
Chef (firing his starter's pistol):
Go!
The groups split up and run off in different directions. The camera cuts to a confessional block.
Amy:
Of course I’m paired up with Samey. Why wouldn’t I be?
Topher:
I didn’t know that I could have gotten a new wig! I want it!
Alejandro:
I must confess that I do like Topher, but he is quite weak in the mental department if it’s not a matter of celebrity. I fear for us today.
Rodney (distracted):
Topher looked really pretty in Lindsay’s hair yesterday… But he’s a boy?
Shawn:
Why does everyone think I’m dating Dave? Where do rumors like that get started? As for everyone knowing that Jasmine and I broke up, I suspect that Topher had a hard time keeping that boring news a secret.
Heather:
It was fun watching Amy explode this morning. She fell perfectly into my trap. Her competitive spirit and her desire to finally outshine her far more decorated sister, Samey, mixed with a blunt comment set off a chain reaction to show her team what a short fuse she has and that she is more of a hindrance than asset to them. She’ll be gone before the day has come to its close.
Sadie:
Since we’ve finally won our second challenge yesterday, I need to do anything I can to make sure that we win again.
The camera cuts to a split screen of Eva and Tyler and Dave and Shawn walking through the forest.
Dave and Tyler:
Are you sure that the forest is the right spot?
Eva and Shawn:
I’m positive.
The camera shifts to Eva and Tyler.
Tyler:
Well, how do you know? What do trees and grass have to do with life?
Eva:
Trees are alive, dude. They’re living things.
Tyler:
But they don’t breathe?
Eva:
No, they use photosynthesis.
Tyler:
The trees use 80s songs to breathe?
Eva:
No, Tyler. Those are synthesizers. 
Tyler:
Oh… What were we talking about?
Eva:
You must have a great body, because I don’t get what Lindsay sees in you.
Tyler:
Aw, thanks! Although, it’s not the best body in the world.
Pan to Dave and Shawn walking through the forest. They’re taking this opportunity to talk, while still looking around.
Dave:
It’s been a long time since we’ve been paired together.
Shawn:
Yeah, it has. Dave, have you been avoiding me?
Dave:
No, what makes you say that?
Shawn:
Well, considering that since you saved me in that one challenge, we haven’t talked since, and you wouldn’t pair with me after, until we are forced together now.
Dave:
Well, you were preoccupied with Jasmine and your relationship.
Shawn:
Dave, Jas and I had one talk about our relationship, ended it, and that was it. We’re just friends.
Dave:
Yeah, I know that. Everyone knows that. Topher accidentally blabbed while you were out getting berries.
Shawn:
So why is everyone calling us boyfriends? I don’t get it. Some creation of Topher’s drama-centered mind?
Dave:
Who can say where things come from? Rumors are weird.
Shawn:
Dave? Is there something you want to say?
Dave:
Hm… Maybe Topher did say something?
Shawn:
You’re lying, Dave.
Dave (stuttering and talking awkwardly):
Okay, so… maybe, uh, just possibly, I could have mentioned to someone that I wasn’t sure exactly how I felt… about you.
Shawn (momentarily confused):
About me? What do you- Oh!
Dave (honestly emoting, but still being awkward):
Ever since I was eliminated and betrayed and hurt by Sky, left for dead by Chris, and had to find my way home, I’ve thought a lot about you. I honestly just agreed to this season because I knew you’d come back, and I wanted to see if I was just missing my best friend or if I wanted something more.
Shawn:
Well, why didn’t you just tell me that? You can always be honest with me.
Dave:
Well, I don’t exactly have the best reputation when it comes to relationships and dating. I didn’t want you to be scared.
Shawn (laughing a little):
Dave, you’re five foot two and weigh, like, eighty pounds. Trust me, I’m by no means afraid of you. You’re like a cake to me.
Dave:
Well? How do you feel?
Shawn (honestly):
Dave, you don’t ever have to be afraid to tell me how you feel. I care a lot about you, and I always have. I can confess that I’ve had similar thoughts about you, but I have to be honest with you. Jas and I just broke up and I’m not looking to get into another relationship right away.
Dave (understanding, but with a small tinge of disappointment in his voice):
I understand, Shawn. I really do.
Shawn:
I hope you can understand that and we can stay friends. Let’s just be friends for now, and let time decide what happens, then? If that doesn’t work for you, I don’t know what else we can do here.
Dave (with a sigh of relief):
That works… that works.
The two give each other a friendly smile as Eva and Tyler meet up with them.
Eva:
I suspect that neither of you found that skeleton’s wig?
Dave (competitively):
Well, if we did, why would we tell you?
Eva:
As much as I would enjoy ripping your body limb from limb, string bean, I don’t see any reason why we can’t keep this a respectful competition.
Shawn:
Agreed. No, we haven’t seen anything. 
Tyler, not paying attention, walks away and faces a tree, as Dave, Eva, and Shawn converse. 
Eva:
You’d think a red wig with a bone in it would be easy to stop in a sea of green and brown.
Dave:
Honestly, why are we even locating a wig?
Shawn:
Honestly, who cares? As long as Topher doesn’t get it.
Eva (amused):
I take it Captain Loudmouth is as effervescent in person.
Shawn (annoyed at just the mention of Topher):
Oh, you have no idea. I’d kill for a team swap. I’d trade him off for anyone, or trade myself for anybody else.
Eva:
Seriously? Anyone? To be on a team with Lightning, Rodney, Lindsay, and Meathead here?
Shawn:
At least they’re all useful.
Using his abnormally strong fingers, Tyler shakes the tree he’s been staring at during their conversation. Eventually, the red wig falls down from a tree branch, and he catches it in his hands.
Tyler:
Hey Eva, what were we looking for again?
Dave:
Some old red wig.
Tyler (presenting them the wig):
You mean like this?
Eva:
Yes, that’s it! That’s the wig! We won!
Chris (over the loudspeaker):
Not so fast, Eva. You have to deliver the wig back to us!
Eva:
You have got to be kidding…
Dave:
So… it’s not over yet, hm?
Eva (annoyed):
Tyler, run! Now!
Tyler:
Run? To where?
Shawn taps on Tyler’s left shoulder, making him turn around. While distracted, Dave grabs the wig as he and Shawn run off.
Shawn:
Doink! So long, losers!
Eva:
Tyler, you better start running after them, or I’m going to mow your ass like grass. NOW?!
Eva chases Tyler with a stick, swinging it at him to make him run after Dave and Shawn. After a while, Dave and Shawn stop to catch a breath.
Dave (heavily):
I… didn’t think… we were… this far out.
Shawn:
Especially… when it feels like… the forest is just a cheaply… animated… rolling background.
While they were trying to breathe, Eva and Tyler tracked them down. Eva aggressively tackles Dave down and rips the wig out of his hands.
Shawn:
Get off of him!
Dave:
I’m… okay!
Eva tosses the wig to Tyler, who runs as Eva gets off of Dave and charges after Tyler. Shawn helps Dave up, and dusts him off.
Shawn:
Are you okay?
Dave:
Yeah, I’m fine. Thanks. We should chase after them, but they’re already so far ahead of us, how could we catch up?
A vine randomly just appears right by Shawn, as if I just remembered that the island is robotic and changes.
Shawn:
A singular vine? In a temperate coniferous forest? Is Chris trying anymore? Anyways, Dave, grab on!
Shawn grabs the vine and runs back, then runs forward, swinging on the vine as Dave grabs onto Shawn. 
Dave:
I didn’t expect this to be so fun!
Shawn:
I’ve always wanted to do this…
Shawn released a Tarzan yell, as he swings with Dave, and then jumps off mid-swing, taking Dave with him. Shawn lands on his feet in front of Tyler, catching Dave and carrying him over one arm, and steals the wig from Tyler with his free hand.
Tyler (shocked):
Oh, hey, dudes! That was impressive!
Shawn:
You can compliment us after we win!
Shawn runs away with Dave over his right shoulder and the wig in his left hand as Tyler applauds them. Eva catches up.
Eva:
Tyler, what are you doing? Where’s the wig?
Tyler:
Oh, that! Those two guys swung up and took it.
Eva:
And you just stood here?
Tyler:
Well, no. I complimented them, too.
Eva:
Oh, god… Well, there’s no way to catch them, now. They’re almost there.. Stand back! Now!
Tyler ducks for cover as Eva tosses her stick like a javelin. While running, Shawn passes the wig up to Dave for safe keeping as he runs back to the clearing, however, the stick catches them, and as Shawn and Dave reach the clearing, it catches the wig and Shawn’s hat, and continues flying until it gets impaled right next to Chris’ head. Shawn, Dave, and Chris all turn and face each other with shocked expressions, and then to the stick holding the wig as Eva and Tyler come running up.
Tyler (heavily breathing):
Eva!
Eva:
Yes! We did it!
Chris:
Ah, ah, ah! I said that you had to deliver it here! The fact that Shawn’s hat was delivered with the wig tells me that he and Dave were the last to have it, which means that Shawn and Dave scored a point for the Vipers!
Tyler:
Aw, well… Better luck next time, Eva!
Eva:
Better luck next time?! I’ll show you next time?!
Eva stomps up to Chris’ throne, and rips the stick out, then rushes after Tyler. The camera cuts to Amy and Samey on the beach as a loud THWACK! is heard.
Setting: Pahkitew Island, the Beach, afternoon
Tyler (yelling, in the distance):
OW!
Samey (trying to strike up conversation):
I wonder what that was…
Amy, angry at this pairing up, rolls her eyes, ignoring Samey as they continue walking, hoping to locate the Gilded Chris Award before Alejandro and Topher. The camera cuts to them walking on the beach. Topher, taking selfies of the two of them and typing on his phone. Alejandro smiles for the many pictures, knowing how to pose for the camera, but looks VERY annoyed when Topher isn’t paying any attention.
Alejandro:
Topher, mi querido, perhaps you would enjoy engaging in actual conversation while we hunt down this award that truly pales in comparison to your radiant beauty, in a way to pass the time?
Topher:
You think I’m beautiful? Well, obviously. I know. But it’s nice to hear somebody else saying it to me for a change.
Alejandro (through his teeth):
Sí. Your beauty is unmatched. Like a blessing from the sun goddess herself.
Topher:
You are absolutely right. What else?
Alejandro (getting visibly annoyed):
Your teeth are as white as the purest new-fallen snow, like fresh milk. Your skin is as soft as velvet. There is no comparison for your beauty.
Topher, visibly pleased with Alejandro's “compliments,” goes back to his phone, although talking to Alejandro. Well, talking at him.
Topher:
My fans are going to love these pictures of us! Two hot guys, the internet will collapse. It’s what we deserve.
Alejandro (not so under his breath):
Estúpido feo pálido fantasma cabeza hueca perdedor vaca!
Topher:
Sorry, I don’t speak Italian.
Alejandro spots a cave up ahead, and hatches an idea. He gives an evil smirk, and then turns to Topher.
Alejandro:
Mi hemosa estrella, I simply cannot resist anymore. I simply must have you.
Topher:
Wait, really? What took you so long? Okay, let’s do it.
Alejandro:
No, not here, uno molesto. That cave up ahead, where these infernal cameras cannot see us. Some things are meant to be private.
Alejandro grabs Topher’s hand and leads him to the cave up ahead, leading him deep inside. Alejandro cups Topher’s cheek in his hand, gently stroking his skin. Topher stares at him with wide, excited eyes. Moving in closer, Topher tries to bridge the gap between their faces, attempting to kiss him. However, Alejandro quickly moves out of the way, causing Topher to fall forward. According to plan, as Alejandro believed, however things quickly went south, as Topher’s body had not yet made any THUD! sound, however, Topher did let out a yell, and only then was there a landing sound. Alejandro looks genuinely shocked.
Alejandro (calling out):
Topher? Are you okay?
Topher (confused):
Alejandro? What happened?
Alejandro:
Do not move, pretty boy, I will be back with some help!
Topher:
Pretty boy? O-okay, I’ll wait here!
Alejandro rolled his eyes and walked out of the cave. He probably should get some help for Topher, but why when he could just win this challenge himself? As he walked, he spotted Amy and Samey walking along the sand. He decides to catch up to them, and “help” them with the challenge.
Samey:
Come on, Amy. You can’t just ignore me forever. We have to communicate to get through this challenge.
Amy (snapping):
No! I don’t have to communicate anything to you! I don’t care what production riggery set this grouping up, but I don’t have to work with you! I would much rather get eliminated than to spend any of this time with you!
Alejandro:
Hola, preciosas diosas! 
Samey (relieved to be spared from this yelling):
Hi, Alejandro!
Alejandro:
What may you two stunning, gorgeous, glorious works of art-
Amy:
Cut the crap, Alejandro. What do you want?
Alejandro:
So insightful, Amy. I propose that we all work together to find this statue.
Amy:
What’s in it for us?
Alejandro:
Surely, if we all return it together, we’d both get the point for our teams.
Samey:
That’s logical thinking.
Amy:
Wait, where’s your partner?
Alejandro:
Ah, yes, Topher. His phone was running low on charge, and as you know, he likes to keep his adventures well documented, so he asked for permission to run back to the cabin to charge it back up. How could I resist such a charming face?
Amy:
He was getting on your nerves and you wanted him gone, huh?
Alejandro:
My dear, he is quite enjoyable. Now, if you were to pair with me, I have an idea of where to look.
Samey:
Well, Amy, why not join him?
Amy:
Oh, hell. Why not? I might as well have someone to talk to.
Samey looks deflated as she follows behind Alejandro and Amy as he leads them back to the same cave he had just abandoned Topher in. He stops before the entrance, feigning fear.
Alejandro:
Well, ladies, I believe that this cave holds the statue we are to be looking for. I must admit that caves give me a terrible fright, so I can go no more.
Samey:
The old Maskwak hideout? What makes you think that the award is in here?
Alejandro:
Your questions will be answered with your eyes. Peer deep into the cave, and you can see a glittering object.
Amy (looking in):
So you are at least honest. No tricks, Alejandro?
Alejandro:
You have my word on my honor.
Amy (rolling her eyes):
That’s what I was afraid of.
Looking at each other, Amy and Samey nod in silent agreement and enter the cave. As it quickly becomes dark in the cave, they could no longer see the ground. Samey trips over a large rock and falls into Amy.
Amy:
Get off of me, you lummox oaf!
Samey:
Sorry, I didn’t mean to!
Samey gets to her feet and then offers a hand to Amy to help pick her up, however she refuses and gets up on her own. The two continue to walk through the cave, and then, they meet the same fate as Topher, slipping and falling down the cave, screaming. They both land on Topher.
Topher:
Ow! Watch the hair!
Amy:
Topher?
Samey:
Topher!
Amy:
Why are you down here?
Topher:
Alejandro and I were walking and… sharing a moment, and then, all the sudden, when I went to kiss him, I fell down here.
Amy:
Alejandro? Oh, that makes a lot more sense.
Samey:
You mean he-
Amy:
He was getting annoyed with Topher, so he tricked him into the cave to get rid of him, and now that he’s tricked us into falling down the cave, he’s going to get this point unopposed. He played us.
Topher:
Well, that’s not true! I’ll have you know that he’s out there right now, getting us help! He’s a great guy, don’t slander his good name!
Samey:
So… what do we do now?
Amy:
Mouth-breathe in my face while we sit around and wait to die. Find a way out!
Cut to Alejandro, laughing lowly to himself as he looks around the cave.
Alejandro:
Come on, where is it? This is the only place light doesn’t touch!
The camera cuts to Lightning and Rodney walking around the outer ring on the beach. The two have nothing to talk about, so it’s quite awkward. Rodney tries to make some conversation, not knowing what to talk about.
Rodney:
Did you feel confused seeing Topher with that wig on?
Lightning:
What? Sha-who the hell starts a conversation like that?
Rodney:
I’m just thinking. He looked pretty… but he’s a boy?
Lightning:
Sha-hey, man, the Lightning don’t judge.
Rodney:
So… what do you want to talk about?
Lightning:
Know anything about football? Tossing the old pig skin?
Rodney:
Pig skin? Isn’t that cruel? What’s football?
Lightning:
You’ve sha-never heard of football?! Dude! You’re, like, sha-jacked, surely you must’ve played! Come on, what do you sha-bench?
Rodney:
Bench? Like, to sit on?
Lightning:
How heavy are your weights?
Rodney:
Well, I can lift up to two adult pigs in my arms at once!
Lightning:
Two pigs? That doesn’t sound like a lot.
Rodney:
Pa-pa’s pigs on the farm usually weigh about three hundred pounds.
Lightning:
Six hundred pounds?! You can’t bench more than me! No way! What do you weigh? Can’t be more than me!
Rodney:
Maybe two hundred sixty three or so?
Lightning:
You weigh fifty-two more pounds than me? No way! Let’s sha-flex and see who’s bigger! Come on!
Lightning and Rodney both did the same bicep flex, and sure enough, Rodney’s biceps were bigger. Lightning looked irritated. He went to say something else, but was cut off by loud laughter on top of the cliff overlooking them.
Zoey:
You mean he didn’t know?
Jasmine:
Uh-uh, not at all. Shawn is clueless about small things like that.
Scott:
Well, it’s not like we learn fancy things like that in them newfangled books y’all read. It’s not his fault.
Looking up, Lightning spots Jasmine, Scott, and Zoey looking over the top of the cliff. Both ends of the cliff have spotted Beth’s old retainer, sitting on a ledge. Lightning and Rodney start to scale and climb up the large cliff as Zoey devises a plan from the top.
Zoey:
I have an idea! If we could all hold each other up, we could probably be just tall enough to reach down and grab the retainer. Only problem is, I don’t want to touch it. It’s old and gross.
Scott:
My specialty, I’ll grab it.
The three got in formation. Zoey at the top, holding Jasmine by the legs, who was visibly disgusted with holding Scott up by the legs from his smell. Despite their best efforts, the three combined weren’t long enough to reach. Scott has an idea.
Scott:
Jasmine, you have to let me go. I’ll fall onto the next ledge, and reach from there.
Jasmine reluctantly gives him a nod and releases Scott. Like a cat, he drops down onto the next ledge, and reaches down. His hand comes in contact with Lightning’s as he was climbing up. 
Lightning:
The Lightning is sha-gonna win this game! Sha-BAM!
Scott:
Sha-shut up!
Scott quickly reached down and grabbed the old retainer as Lightning’s head popped up and his hand grabbed onto Scott’s, trying to squeeze it tightly to make him drop it. With quick thinking, Scott places his shoe onto Lightning’s face and kicks him down, knocking him into Rodney, and they both fall down to the bottom of the cliff. Scott takes a step back, runs, and then jumps, his hand getting caught by Jasmine, and she and Zoey pull him up.
Zoey:
Alright, Scott!
Jasmine:
Perhaps I have misjudged you, Scott.
Scott:
Alright, now we need to get this back to Chris…
Jasmine:
And we have to find a way to keep it from going to Lightning and Rodney.
After Scott and Zoey high-five, Scott looks at Jasmine, and then at Zoey, trying to think of where to put it. He suddenly gets an idea, and he puts Beth’s old lost retainer in his own mouth, for safekeeping. Zoey looks disgusted and Jasmine gags, then throws up.
Scott (lisping like Beth):
Okay, tho, we need to take thith back to Chrith. Then we can thecure thome more poinths. Thound good?
Chris (over the loudspeaker, grossed out):
No, Scott, for this time only, I’ll make an exception. Get rid of those.
Scott (spitting the retainer out):
Well, okay.
Scott shrugs and chucks the old retainer away over his shoulder. The retainer falls over the cliff and hits Lightning on the head. The camera cuts to Dawn, Lindsay, and Sadie walking by the cabins.
Setting: Pahkitew Island, the Cabins, afternoon
Lindsay:
What are we looking for again?
Dawn:
Cameron’s power suit helmet.
Lindsay:
And what’s that?
Sadie:
That’s what he wore to beat Lightning, right?
Dawn:
Yeah, that’s right!
Lindsay:
And where do we find that at?
Sadie:
By finding whatever the element of life is and where it roams free.
Lindsay:
Oh!… And what is that?
Dawn:
Water. The element of life is water. I suspect that “where it roams free” is either the ocean that flows into the beach, or… a waterfall.
Dawn leads the two down a long dirt path from behind the cabins while Lindsay and Sadie were having some typical valley girl conversation, with each sentence followed by a loud squeal from the both of them. After a long few minutes of walking, Dawn leads them to a field of flowers with a large waterfall in the background. It looks like a scene from a majestic painting.
Lindsay:
It’s, like, so beautiful here.
Dawn:
Life at its purest, free from human tampering and torture.
Sadie:
Like, are you sure the thingy we’re looking for is here?
A hummingbird flies up from a flower and around Dawn’s head, then lands on her finger. It lightly pecks at her skin for her attention, and she gives it a gentle scratch under its beak. In return for affection, the hummingbird flies from her finger, and flies toward the waterfall, gesturing for the three to follow. 
Sadie:
Are we really going to listen to a bird?
Dawn:
The hummingbird is nature’s locator. 
The three follow the hummingbird as it flies around the waterfall, fluttering around where the water lands from the falls and meets to a lake and into a stream, flowing down to the beach. 
Lindsay:
It’s telling us to dive off that waterfall!
Dawn (politely):
I don’t think that’s exactly right, Lindsay.
Dawn walks up to the waterfall, and the hummingbird nuzzles her cheek. She gets in the water and places her hand through the falling water. It’s an entrance.
Sadie:
What is it?
Dawn:
The waterfall, it’s hollow. I’m sensing Cameron’s presence radiating from behind it. The helmet is here without a doubt.
Dawn crawls through the waterfall, and after a few minutes, she re-emerges, with Cameron’s helmet in hand.
Sadie:
This feels too easy. No traps? Nothing?
Dawn:
I doubt Chris thought those would be necessary. To the enemies of nature, that passageway would’ve been hidden. However, that does make me wonder who put it there in the first place, Chris is certainly no friend of nature.
Lindsay:
Maybe it was Chef? He seems like he’s good with animals.
Dawn:
Okay, let’s take his back to Chris and secure our point.
Sadie:
Right. Let’s go.
The three walked back, cutting time by going through the forest, and they then spotted Anne Maria, Courtney, and Heather. However, the three didn’t even notice Dawn, Lindsay, and Sadie… at first, as they were all yelling at each other.
Courtney:
Well, maybe, if your big ass didn’t have to stop to get a snack, we would have found this damn thing by now!
Anne Maria:
You’re just mad that I have all the right curves and you’re a praying mantis with a stick up your ass!
Courtney:
Well, dip me in chocolate, and you’d have to stop to eat me!
Anne Maria:
Well, I’d certainly be the first!
Courtney:
And what is that supposed to mean? Your mouth shouldn’t run faster than your legs can!
Sadie (whispering):
Sh, quiet, let’s get out of here.
Dawn and Lindsay nod in agreement and the three keep walking away, however, Sadie steps on a twig, making a loud CRACK! sound, alerting Anne Maria, Courtney, and Heather to their presence.
Heather:
Stop right there!
Anne Maria:
Cam’s helmet!
Courtney:
We’ll be taking that!
Courtney rips the helmet out of Dawn’s hand as a blue bird lands on her finger, Dawn begins petting the bird.
Lindsay:
Hey, no fair! We found it first!
Anne Maria:
And rightfully brought it to us.
Heather:
Thank you for the point, honest.
Sadie:
That doesn’t belong to you.
Courtney:
Which is why we will be returning it.
Courtney waves the helmet in Sadie’s face to mock her, and then the bird flies from Dawn’s finger to Courtney’s, starting to peck at her fingers, causing her to drop the helmet. Lindsay swiftly drops down and reclaims the helmet, holding it tightly as Anne Maria grabs it, trying to pry it from Lindsay. Just then, a large cluster of blue birds fly from a nearby tree and start pecking at Anne Maria, Courtney, and Heather, leaving Dawn, Lindsay, and Sadie be to run back to the clearing and claim the first point for their team. The camera cuts to Alejandro outside of the cave, looking for the gilded Chris.
Alejandro (growing impatient):
Come on, where is it? Where light doesn’t touch… and you must feel your way around… No! It must be in-
The camera cuts to Amy, Samey, and Topher deep in the cave. As expected, there’s tension between the twins and it only keeps rising. Topher keeps turning back and forth between the twins as they speak.
Amy:
Well, maybe if you weren’t stupid, we wouldn’t be in this mess!
Samey:
You’re here with me, so you fell for it too!
Amy:
Well, maybe if you were bearable, I wouldn’t have to pair with shady people like Alejandro, now would I?
Samey:
Well, that’s not fair! You haven’t even spoken to me or mom in years!
Amy:
Take the hint! I don’t want to be associated with your mother or you! It’s bad enough that we look alike! I moved out and now I’m happier without her and you! I don’t need mother’s starlet daughter in my life anymore!
Samey:
So, that’s what this is about? This whole thing? You’re taking mom’s neglect towards you out on me? How is that fair?
Amy:
I don’t care about fair! I want you to feel the way that I feel! You’re my sister, you’re supposed to be there for me! You’re supposed to love me! You’re supposed to help me! You took anything and everything away from me! Friends, boyfriends, positions, parental affection! Everything I had, everything I wanted, you stole it all away from me! You basked in the glory of being everyone’s favorite while I had to do whatever I could to act out and finally get some attention!
Samey:
I never asked to be the favorite! 
Amy:
But you never once stopped to say that it was wrong! You took the love and advantages and never once stopped to consider how I felt!
Samey:
I suppose I didn’t…. But that doesn't mean that you can just take your anger and trauma out on me! I’m your sister! I didn’t deserve that! All through high school, you bullied and tortured me just because you could!
Amy:
Well, it’s not like I could have just said it to mother!
Samey:
I suppose not, but I’m your sister… 
Amy:
I know, that’s what my therapist says.
Samey:
You’re in therapy? I guess that’s why you just ignored me instead of screaming or just hitting me.
Amy (tearing up):
Well, I only came back to see you. I wanted to see how you were doing. I love you.
Samey (also tearing up):
I love you, too!
The two sisters for the first time in ages hug and Topher is revealed to have been recording their fight/make up, and then he takes a picture of the two hugging with his flash on. Amy realizes that his phone is still on.
Amy:
Wait, Topher, your phone is still alive?
Topher (trying to hide his phone):
Uh… no?
Amy:
Topher, give me your phone!
Topher (defensive):
No, you can’t make me!
Samey:
Come on, Topher, please?
Before he could even respond, Amy grabs him by the hair and pulls, and in between yelps of pain, he sacrifices his phone to her. She releases him and he gives a whine, 100% about his hair. Amy turns the flashlight on his phone on, revealing a path in front of them.
Amy:
A way out, hopefully! Let’s go!
The three run ahead on the path, occasionally ducking under low hanging rocks, and enter into a room filled with bright purple gems lighting the way, with the Gilded Chris Award sitting on a rock podium built like a throne between two large gems. The three walk over to it, and then at each other, before Samey grabs it. Topher begins pocketing the purple gems, stuffing what he could into his pockets.
Topher:
What? You take my phone and I see something pretty and expensive looking. Of course I’m going to take it. It should belong to me, like, duh.
Samey:
Okay, Amy, I got it. 
Amy:
Okay, let’s go!
Still using the flashlight on Topher’s phone, Amy leads the way until they find a small hole with sunlight peering in. Guiding out Samey and Topher, Amy then crawls out herself. Amy and Samey hug again, and Amy returns Topher’s phone back to him, and he then takes a selfie of the three of them.
Samey:
Let’s get this back to Chris.
Topher:
Sounds good to me.
Amy:
Let’s go!
The three begin running back to the forest to get to Chris, but Alejandro appears in front of them from behind a tree. Amy and Samey look furious, but Topher looks happy to see him.
Alejandro (artificially relieved):
Ah, you three made it out, I’m so happy to see you! I was looking for aid to round up the rescue party. I’m so relieved to see that you’re all safe.
Topher (dreamily):
Oh, it’s okay. I’m glad I get to see your face again.
Samey:
Knock it off, Alejandro. You tricked us.
Amy:
It’s over, Alejandro. Our alliance is off. You’re done for.
Alejandro:
Is that so? How sad. Get the boat ready… but not for me.
Alejandro grabs the Gilded Chris Award from Samey’s hands, grabs Topher by the hand, and runs towards the forest clearing. Amy and Samey charge after them, trying to catch up, however, it is too late. Alejandro had delivered the Gilded Chris Award to Chris, securing the point.
Chris:
And the Vicious Vipers win again!
Amy:
NO!
Alejandro:
Amy, Samey. Sorry my dears, it is for the best that I win.
The two twins turn to face each other, nod in understanding, and punch Alejandro in both eyes in perfect unison. Cut to another confessional block.
Dawn:
Amy seems… at peace now. She has finally made up with her sister.
Heather:
Seeing Amy leave tonight after watching her fate unravel this morning will taste almost like winning the two million dollar prize will.
Topher:
Amy is, like, a huge celebrity right now. Thanks to my help, she’s the number one trending on Twerter. I sold the voice recordings of her fight with Heather and her making up with Samey to a gossip site, as well as the pictures of them hugging, and I made, like, SO much money!
Alejandro:
So Amy and Samey figured out that I tried to sabotage them to win the challenge myself. That plan may not have worked, but I still triumphed in the end, and as a bonus, Topher is still securely my ally and will do anything I ask of him, and as long as I show him my abs, he’ll be too clueless and hot to even think of betraying me. I may just need to take him to the finale with me. It’s refreshing to be praised like a god while beating him with absolutely no work.
Shawn:
I feel great about today. Showcasing my athletic prowess and smarts. I think Tyler is a formidable opponent, however, I’m terrified of Eva. She is almost as scary as the zombie apocalypse, and I have no doubt that she could brave it herself.
Sadie:
Now that Amy and Samey are friends, I need to think of something to shake this game up now that my ally has joined my enemy. What to do, what to do?
The camera cuts to yet another Raccoon campfire ceremony
=== Act Three - The Campfire Ceremony ===
Setting: Pahkitew Island, the Campsite, nighttime
The Vicious Vipers were once again sitting in the peanut gallery as the Ravenous Raccoons sat on the uncomfortable tree stumps. Amy and Samey stare at each other with a smile, with Lindsay and Dawn happily watching them. Tyler, still dazed after Eva attacked him, has cartoon birds flying around his head. Chef drops off the tray of marshmallows and leaves to get the boat of losers ready for the eliminated contestants. Chris looks amused by the constant failures of this team as they vote off yet another member.
Chris:
Well, Raccoons, I would say that I’m surprised to see you here in this position for a fourth time, however, we all know that would be a lie.
Blaineley (unamused):
Wow, way to hide your bias, there, Chris.
Chris:
With that being said, we have nine contestants, eight marshmallows. Let's get into it. You all know the drill well enough by now since this is your fourth time here.
Heather (gleefully malicious):
Why don’t you repeat them for all of us who don’t have it memorized, Chris?
Chris:
No, no. I’m tired of saying it to these losers. Let’s just get into it. When your name is called, collect your marshmallow…
Dawn!
Lindsay!
Sadie!
Eva!
Tyler!
Rodney!
And Lightning!
Blaineley:
That leaves Amy and Samey… Amy, you got awfully aggressive today. We cannot risk you getting into an actual fight. Your anger is a ticking time bomb. Did your team give you the benefit of the doubt against Heather? Samey, you keep fading into the background and do next to nothing when you aren’t told to do so by someone else. Did your team decide that you have more use?
Amy and Samey grab each other’s hand and await the results.
Chris:
In a vote of four to three, the last marshmallow goes to…
Samey!
Blaineley:
Oh man, this feels wrong.
Amy:
It’s okay, really. I’m fine. I got what I needed.
Scott:
No, not the pretty girl!
Heather:
So long, Amy. Rest in peace.
Blaineley:
Now, let’s see how everyone voted…
With the press of a button from Chris’ remote, the screen between him and Blaineley flickers to life, showing the members voting. Amy votes for Lightning. Dawn votes for Amy. Eva votes for Samey. Lightning votes for Amy. Lindsay votes for Samey. Rodney votes for Samey. Sadie votes for Amy. Samey votes for Rodney. A confused and disoriented Tyler votes for Amy.
Dawn:
Sorry, Amy. You just seemed to be at peace now.
Amy:
It’s fine, I promise.
Chris:
Amy, it’s now time for you to pack your bags and walk the dock of shame and board the boat of losers…
Amy:
Yeah, yeah, I get it.
Chris:
That’s what I should say, however, watching you and your sister finally reunite and make up after all this time has warmed and thawed out my icy heart. I’m giving you a lifeline. You will be staying… for now.
Amy is immediately hugged by Lindsay, Samey, Eva, and Rodney. Sadie and Heather look mad, as Scott looks relieved. 
Blaineley:
Well, there you have it. Nobody is going home today.
Chris:
That’s right.
Chef:
Well, you all could’ve told me that.
Blaineley:
Now that Amy and Samey are friends, where does that leave Sadie and Amy’s alliance?
Will Topher continue to believe in Alejandro like a fool?
Will Dave ruin his friendship with Shawn?
Chris:
Find out the answers to these questions and more next time on TOTAL!
DRAMA!
RESURRECTION!
The screen fades to black and cuts to static
