Revolutionary Bore

The eighth chapter of Total Drama School, posted on November 10, 2010. The two teams merge, leading to a history-themed challenge set during the American Revolution, as well as the return of two infamous pre-mergers.
==Story==
The Apples are asleep in their dorms. Alex is having a weird dream about floating in a boat made out of candy canes. But suddenly, a huge Sharissa pops out and laughs like a maniac, making Alex explode!
"Huh? What?" Alex wakes up.
Confessional (Alex): Sharissa is still haunting me... even in my dreams! That's so creepy.
Meg and Gary also wake up. Meg says, "What's all the noise about?"
Alex replies groggily, "It was a dream. I think it's some kind of omen."
Meg says, "Pssh. That's crazy-talk. Now let's get up. Who knows where Chris wants us today."
The teams leave their dorms and see Chris, just relaxing by the Main Lobby. The School Bus of Losers is parked outside the school.
"Um, Chris?" says Carson. "Why is the School Bus still here?"
Chris giggles. "You'll find out, Carson. But anyways, welcome to today's challenge! Today's challenge is based off of the subject History! But first, something else."
Confessional (Gary): What else does he want from us?
Chris yells, "The teams are merged today!" He gets out a party hat, puts it on, and blows out a party-blower.
Amanda says, "So I guess we're the final 6? Phew. That's rewarding."
Chris replies, "Nope!" Everyone says, "Huh?"
Chris says gleefully, "To mix things up, we have 2 returning contestants!"
Confessional (Carson): So THAT'S why the School Bus of Losers is still here.
Chris shouts, "First up... it's everyone's favorite little poseur... Devin!"
Amanda groans. "Oh, lord." she mutters.
Confessional (Amanda): I already have enough stress with Carson here, and now Little Gangsta is back? Ugh!
Devin comes jogging out of the School Bus of Losers. "Yo, yo, yo, homes!" he shouts. "The Dev-man's back in the house! And so are... my saggy pants!"
Everyone stares at him, waiting for his pants to fall down, but they stay upright. "Yep, I got a belt today, peeps! No more embarrassment! Word!"
Gary says, "Glad to have you back, Devin." Carson nods.
"And, who might you ask is the second person returning?" says Chris.
Confessional (Alex): (crossing his fingers) Oh. Whoops, heh heh. I'm just exercising my fingers.
"It's the creepiest, craziest, most insane girl ever... Sharissa!"
Alex grins, and sees Sharissa yelling like a maniac, running out of the bus,
"Hey guys!" she says, "Glad to be back! Meggie! You're still in the game!" Sharissa rushes to Meg and gives her a bear-hug.
Meg says uncomfortably, "Hey, Sharissa. Nice... to see you, I guess."
Sharissa sees Alex. "ALEEEEEX!" she shrieks, and kicks him.
Alex mutters, "Finally, things are getting back to normal."
Chris then says, "Okay, guys. Back to the challenge. So, today, as I already explained, is based off of History class. You'll be reenacting a war."
Everyone gasps.
"No, you idiots." he says, "With paintball guns. Now, there is a flag hidden somewhere in the school. Everyone will be trying to get that flag. Whoever gets the flag first wins for tonight and is safe from elimination! But, there will be obstacles. Like ol' King Chef III."
Chef, in a powdered wig and British royal coat, grins evilly and holds up a rifle.
Veronica says nervously, "That's not a real rifle, is it?"
Chris laughs sadistically. "You can also shoot each other with paintballs. So, yeah. That's today's challenge. Here's some traditional war garb." He hands the boys blue hats and the girls pink hats, and paintball guns for everyone.
"On your mark... Get set... GO!" The contestants take off running across the school.
Devin is running, but can't really run fast thanks to his saggy pants. Carson and Gary catch up with him.
Gary says, "Hey guys, ever thought of making an alliance?"
Carson says, "Well, sorta, but I already have that thing with Amanda, and Gary, I know you have a little crush on Meg..."
Gary says, "No comment. Now, how about an all-boys alliance? So we can kick out the girls 1-by-1?"
Devin says, "Sounds good, homes. But wait!" Devin points his paintball gun at Gary and Carson.
Gary shrieks, "Dude! Remember, ALLIANCE?" Devin scratches his head. "Oh, yeah. Whoopsy."
Confessional (Devin): Alliance! Word!
Meanwhile, Amanda and Veronica are in the Teacher's Lounge, Chris and Chef's private quarters.
Veronica says, "Amanda, are you sure we're supposed to be in here?"
Amanda says, "Relax. It'll be-- what was that?"
A rustling is heard in the hallway. It's Alex, getting a drink at the drinking fountain. Amanda says, "Shhh." and sneaks up behind Alex. She readies her gun, and...
"YAAA!" Sharissa pops out of nowhere, splattering Amanda with paintballs. Amanda shrieks. "Sharissa, you IDIOT!" Sharissa giggles, grabs Alex and runs away.
Amanda says to Veronica, "Let's go. We have to find that flag." They leave the Teacher's Lounge and start heading towards the Gym.
In the Gym, Devin, Gary and Carson are under the bleachers. Devin says, "I've got a rockin' idea for the name of our alliance, yo. Bling Brothas!"
Confessional (Carson): Bling Brothas? What does that even MEAN?
Devin says, "It's the name of the group of gangstas at my school, yo."
Gary says, "But we're not... gangstas."
Devin grins and takes out a bandanna and some sunglasses out from his backpack. "Here." he says, putting them on Gary.
Gary says, "I don't really feel comfortable with this on. But I love it!"
Carson says, "OK, so who's going to be our first target? I think Veronica, she's sorta useless."
Gary says, "Yep, so Veronica? Sounds good." Someone steps into the Gym. "What was that, homies?" says Devin.
The boys take out their guns. Carson peeks through a crack in the bleachers. "It's just Meg, guys. PSST! HEY, MEG!" he shouts.
Meg looks around. She can't see anyone. Gary climbs out of the bleachers. Meg then sees him, and readies her gun.
Gary says, "No, don't shoot! We just need to talk." Meg mutters something and walks over to Gary and the other boys. "What do you want?" she says.
Gary responds, "Wanna vote out Veronica with us?" but Meg shakes her head. "Amanda's my rival. I'm voting her tonight. That is, unless she gets invincibility. Which she won't. I will. See ya!" Meg takes off sprinting.
Alex and Sharissa are stalking around in the hallway. "Where's that stupid flag?" Sharissa mutters. "Let's open up all these lockers." She begins trying different combinations, but that doesn't work, so she ends up picking the lock.
Alex says, "Y'know, nobody is using these lockers. They're just for decoration, so why would the flag be in one anyway?" He gets splattered with a paintball. Alex looks behind him, and sees Meg laughing her head off and running away.
Meg is running through the halls until she stops. There, blocking the entrance to the Cafeteria, is Chef with his rifle. He laughs like a disturbed horse.
Meg gets extremely scared. She sees the flag tucked into his pants. "How am I supposed to get it?" she says to herself. She contemplates for a moment, then charges full-speed at Chef. She is pulling her paintball trigger as fast as she can, getting Chef completely covered in paint. Chef screams and fights back. Luckily, his rifle isn't real, but it does shoot out water full-blast...
Meanwhile, the "Bling Brothas" are trying to find the flag. They see, from far away, Meg and Chef fighting. "Not even going to go there." says Gary. They head the other way, but Carson is sort of scared.
"Ever feel like you're being watched?" he says, and the other two boys agree. Suddenly, Amanda, from behind, rams into Carson, knocking him down and starting a dogpile on the floor. Veronica soon follows.
"Where's.... the.... flag?!?" Amanda says, in between punches and struggles. Carson says, "I.... don't.... have it...!"
From far away, Meg's voice echoes through the halls. "I do!"
Amanda growls, and gets off of the Bling Brothas. Her and Veronica sprint as fast as they can, trying to find Meg.
They finally see Meg, who's completely covered in water, but has the flag in her hands. "Hey, guys." she says tauntingly. "Guess you were just a little too late, huh?"
Amanda glares. Chris then walks over to the contestants, most of them being either very beat up or piled on top of each other on the floor. "O-kayyy." says Chris. "Well, whatever. Meg wins, so she gets invincibility. All of the rest, it's time to vote out a player. Oh yeah! Girls, move all of your stuff to the Screaming Rulers' dorm. Boys, go to the Apples." He walks away.
In the boys' room, Alex and Gary are hanging out.
Confessional (Alex): I can't believe I've made it this far! All I ever do is sit around and avoid work. I must have some sort of luck.
Gary says, "Think you're going to win?"
Carson comes in with a suitcase. "Me? Nah. It's just fun being here."
Devin walks into the dorm with a very large trash bag and some pairs of extremely large pants. "Yo, yo homies! Where am I gonna sleep, yo?"
Gary mutters, "Take the far-left bunk." Devin looks at the bunk, which is completely torn-up with flies buzzing around it.
Devin says, "Word." and gets onto the bed.
Carson then says, "OK, guys, the key part of having an alliance is voting out people. Earlier we said we'd vote out Veronica, but we need to put some thought into this."
Alex mutters, "Wait? Alliance?"
Gary says, "Oh yeah, we didn't tell him. We have an alliance called Bling Brothas, and we're sorta focused on picking off the girls."
Alex says, "Nope. That means you'll target Sharissa, and as much as I hate her, she can still be useful." Alex plops down onto his bunk and begins to fall asleep.
Devin says, "Okay, yo. You don't need to be in our alliance. Now, how 'bout Meg, yo? She's a jerk, ya know wha' I'm sayin', homes?"
Gary says, "Nope. 1, she's hot. 2, she's helpful. And 3, she's hot."
The other boys stare at him. Carson laughs, "You have a crush on Meg? You'll never--" Gary glares. "Whatever."
In the girls' dorm, they aren't bonding as much.
Amanda is doing her nails on her bed, when Meg walks in. Meg says, "Which bed do I get?"
Amanda replies smugly, "You get to sleep on the floor." Meg begins to laugh. Amanda says, "I'm not kidding."
Meg shouts out, "Stop being a jerk! Now, let me sleep on a bed." Amanda calmly says, "No."
Meg says loudly, "Well then, I'm going to take your bottom bunk!"
Amanda says, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. The bottom bunk is for Veronica, not you." Veronica then comes in and puts all of her stuff on the bottom bunk.
Sharissa says, "OK, guys. Don't get all rowdy! Meggie, you can share my bunk. Amanda and whatever your name is, I'll just call you Ginger, stop being such @#$%!"
Amanda and Veronica gasp. Amanda says, "Did you just say what I think you said?"
Veronica says, "And why Ginger?"
At the elimination ceremony, Chris says, "Well, well, well. Quite a lot of tension going around here."
Confessional (Meg): I've made it to the merge and I won tonight. It's so obvious I'll win it all.
Confessional (Sharissa): Amanda's a jerk. I'm just glad I got Meggie to vote for her with me.
Confessional (Devin): Yo yo foo! Watch me get safe tonight, yeah!
Chris says slowly, "Meg, you won the challenge, so take your A+." Meg grabs her A+ from the table. "Sharissa, you're also safe." Sharissa grabs her prize. "Alex." Alex sits there and Chris throws his A+ to him. "Veronica and Devin." Devin starts dancing and jumping while Veronica smiles. "Amanda." Amanda laughs evilly and gets her A+.
"Gentlemen, this is the final A+." Carson and Gary stare at each other.
"The final A+ goes to..."
"Well, actually, both of you." Chris gives Carson and Gary both A+'s.
Gary says, "What?" Chris then laughs. "Silly kids. It was a fake elimination. Just a reward challenge. And speaking of rewards, Meg, for winning the challenge, you get authentic Revolutionary War-time Candy!"
Meg gets her candy and bites into it. "Eeugh! This is hard as a rock!"
Chris says, "When I said it was Revolutionary War-time, I meant it was actually made in the 1700s."
Meg groans and goes back to her dorm, along with everyone else.
Chris then signs off the episode. "Will the 'Bling Brothas' dominate at the next real elimination? Will Sharissa and Meg team up against Amanda and Veronica? And will Alex ever quit being so lazy? Tune in next time on Total... Drama... Schooool!"
