===Chapter 10 - My Neighbor Toadoro===
"Last time on Total Drama Tokyo, we had some Total Drama Revolution contestants cameo for a change! It was all right, I guess, but we still didn't get that many viewers... Anyway, the challenge was to go up the Tokyo Tower, and most of the contestants did that... Except Thomas, who fell off thanks to his sneeze, and was later eliminated because not only was he a jerk, he was also crippled, and he was no help to his team. The Tanukis lost, obviously, since Thomas got voted out. And Casey tried to get close to Chelsey, but failed!" Now, who will get eliminated? Find out today on Total... Drama... Tokyo!"
Chef walks in. "'Ey, Chris, how was th' episode? Did we get viewers?"
"No," says Chris. "Maybe we're just not a good show."
"Nah, we's a'ight," says Chef. "We just gotta do stuff that appeals to children."
Chris pauses for a moment. "Chef, you are a genius!" he then says.
"What? Nah, I was jus' makin' a suggestion," says Chef.
"So, we'll have a challenge based on a Japanese kiddie movie!" says Chris.
"Naw, dude, I hate kiddie movies," says Chef.
"Well, the viewers don't. I freaking love you, Chef!" says Chris, and he hugs him.
"Get offa' me, fool," says Chef.
Chris awkwardly gets off of him.
The Tanukis are shown in their dorm.
"Hey, so, since Thomas is gone, why don't you focus your attention on me?" bargains Puck.
"Well, I still have to decide. I like Chelsey too, you know," says Casey.
"Yeah, but Chelsey is a girl, and so are you. I mean, I'm cool if you're into that, but you gotta make up your mind!" says Puck.
"Yeesh, Puck, hop off," says Casey.
Flora wakes up. "Oh, what a beautiful morning."
"It seems like every morning begins with Puck doing something weird, Casey saying something about Chelsey, and Flora waking up and saying it's a beautiful morning," says Vivienne, waking up as well.
"True dat, true dat," says Puck.
"Well, most mornings are beautiful, I don't see the problem in expressing that," says Flora.
"We're just saying, it gets old after a while..." says Vivienne.
"Yeah. Flora, you're extremely boring," says Casey.
"That's not very nice," says Puck in an obnoxious voice.
"You know what?!" yells Flora.
Everyone suddenly becomes silent.
"Oh, did I just... I'm sorry," says Flora.
Puck looks at Flora, then makes a Trollface.
Vivienne says in the confessional, "Being the strongest player on the team, I feel like I may be able to hide in the shadows then emerge in the finals. Puck does nothing, and Casey is just annoying. Flora won't even last much longer..."
Flora says in the confessional, "Why am I so boring? I just want people to like me!" She bursts into tears.
Puck says in the confessional, "I joined this game so I could follow in the footsteps of my hero, Alex. I mean, I'm extremely lazy. I don't do ANYTHING, but I'm still in the game. Why is that? Like, do girls think I'm hot stuff? Haha!"
Casey says in the confessional, "I need an "Elle". Someone who I can trust, and manipulate, and be best friends with. But, who can it be? Not Puck, not Flora... Viv?"
Casey walks up to Vivienne. "So, tell me more about those disappearing powers of yours."
"I don't necessarily want to," says Vivienne. "You planning to use me for my powers?"
"...Yes," says Casey after a long pause.
Vivienne shoos Casey away from her.
Vivienne says in the confessional, "Seriously, how much of a moron does she think I am?"
The Dharmas are then shown in their room.
"Charles, unwrap this candy bar?" asks Layla.
"I am not feeling it right now," says Charles.
"Fine, I'll unwrap it myself," says Layla angrily.
Layla tries to pick up the candy bar, and her hands writhe in pain.
Layla says in the confessional, "Ugh, I guess I haven't done anything in so long, my hands aren't used to this. God, that was painful... Ha, I'm never doing it again, that's what Charles is for."
Charles unhappily unwraps the candy bar. There is a golden, shiny piece of paper inside. Charles crumples it up, and throws it in the garbage can.
"Feed me?" asks Layla.
"Here comes the airplane," says Charles happily, bringing the candy bar close to Layla's mouth.
"Yay!" she says childishly.
Isabel comes out of the bathroom.
"Hey, guys! I'm out of the bathroom!" says Isabel.
"Yeah, we can see, you just walked out of the bathroom, so of course you are out," says Delia darkly.
Kai is in the other room, poking a potato with his magic wand.
"What is he doing?" asks Delia.
Kai looks at them, then timidly closes the door.
"That guy is creepy," says Layla.
"Well, yes, you have expressed that," says Charles calmly. "Maybe if you were nice to others, they would like me more."
"You tell me that all the time. It doesn't work. I hate being nice," says Layla.
"Well, sometimes people have to do things that they don't like to do," says Charles.
"You've said that, too. Jeez, the author is getting lazy," snaps Layla.
Delia is sitting there angrily.
"Charles, go talk to Delia?" asks Layla.
"She is a nice person, so sure," says Charles.
Charles walks towards Delia.
"Hello," he says.
Delia makes an extremely enraged face.
"Goodbye," says Charles.
He then scoots away timidly.
"Why aren't you talking to her?" demands Layla.
"She is not as nice as I thought," says Charles.
"Yeah. See?" asks Layla.
"'See' is a letter that comes after Q and before N! Hee-hee!" says Isabel happily.
"All right, you're so stupid that you don't even know the alphabet?" says Layla.
"Wait, she had said the alphabet a few days ago," says Charles.
"Isabel, are you secretly smart?" asks Layla.
"Nooo! I don't like to fart," says Isabel.
Isabel says in the confessional, while putting spectacles on, "Okay, fine, I'm not as stupid as I say. But I'm really not too smart... I mean, the whole acting-like-I'm-ten-years-younger-than-I-actually-am thing is just so I can appear as an idiot, and people will feel sorry for me. I'm really self-conscious about my smarts... I was rejected from 20 colleges so far. It's not my fault that I don't know basic subtraction!"
Delia is jotting something down in her notepad.
"Blonde one is secretly a genius," she writes. "Evil antagonist who pretends to be stupid to get farther in the game."
Isabel walks up to her. "Hey, what are you readin'?" she asks.
"I'm not reading. I'm writing in my notebook," says Delia.
"Oh, well, they're basically the same thing to me!" says Isabel.
"Can you read?" asks Delia warily.
"Uh, lemme see a book," says Isabel.
Delia takes out a book called "The Black Death."
"Read it," says Delia. "The first three sentences."
"The Black Death was a plague that spread through Europe like wildfire. Many people died or were tortured thanks to it. It eventually killed over nine thousand people, way over nine thousand," reads Isabel.
"Congrats. I didn't know you were that smart," says Delia.
"I can read. I'm not three," says Isabel.
"Well, neither am I," says Delia.
"Yeah, I know that," says Isabel.
"Okay," mutters Delia.
"Okay," says Isabel.
Delia stares at Isabel for a second.
"This conversation isn't going anywhere," she whispers. "I am going to drop the kids off at the pool."
Delia heads to the bathroom. Isabel jumps off the bed and walks away.
The scene then changes to the Fish Tails' cabin.
"Ugh, this team is so boring," says Tolkien.
"Go play with your cards," says Estrella.
"They went missing last night. I have no idea where they are," says Tolkien.
Julian is shown in the attic, looking at Tolkien's cards.
"These are totally weird," says Julian. "Heh, maybe one more minute, then I'll return them."
"Hey, where's Julian?" asks Horatio.
"Who cares?" asks Estrella.
"I think you do, lover girl," says Roz excitedly.
"Actually, I couldn't care less. Julian is annoying," says Estrella.
"Hey, let's play a video game, guys," says Tolkien.
Horatio turns on the Wuu! to Super Smash Sisters Rumble.
"How do you play?" asks Estrella.
"What, you've never played a video game before?" asks Tolkien in shock.
"No, what do you think I am, five?" asks Estrella snidely.
"Well, I play video games," says Tolkien.
"I stand by my theory," says Estrella dryly.
"Basically, you just mash random buttons," says Roz.
"No, there's strategy involved! Roz, you don't play video games either?!" yells Tolkien.
"No, I have better things to do," says Roz pompously.
"Like what? Stalk Mr. Chapman?" asks Tolkien cynically.
"No..." says Roz.
She puts away her phone, which has a background of Chappy smiling.
"Maybe..." she then says.
She quickly takes out her phone again, which reads, "1 NEW TEXT MESSAGE FROM: Zari A." and underneath that, "Found Chappy's address. Tomorrow night?"
"Yes," says Roz sheepishly.
"All right, Horatio, you play video games, right?" asks Tolkien.
"Yeah, dog, totally. The SNES is what's big now, right?" asks Horatio.
Tolkien just looks at him.
"Horatio, how old are you?" asks Estrella.
"It doesn't matter," says Horatio, beginning to sweat.
"But it does," says Tolkien. "If you're too old, Chris will kick you out!"
"So, man? I'm not scared of Chris," says Horatio.
The scene changes to Chris, who has a large suspicious container next to him.
Chef walks in. "What's that?"
"Dinner," says Chris, as he laughs evilly.
Chef slowly backs away.
The contestants meet in the middle of the city for the next challenge.
"So, what's the challenge today?" asks Flora happily.
"You don't care, do you?" asks Chris.
"I actually do. I can't wait to see how my skills are tested," says Flora.
"God, you're so boring," says Chris.
Flora backs away.
"Seriously, bro, just tell us the challenge!" whines Puck.
"All right, all right!" says Chris. "Today's challenge involves big, furry creatures that have a possibility of injuring or killing you."
"My favorite kind of challenge," says Layla sarcastically.
"I know, right?" says Delia, not sarcastically.
"There are three Totoros hiding around the city. They may be easy to spot, because they're huge, but they can turn invisible, so that will be the challenging part of the challenge. Your job is to find all three Totoros, then we can go onto part two," says Chris.
"Wait, but Tokyo is huge. How are we supposed to find them?" asks Julian.
"You have twenty minutes," says Chris, ignoring Julian. "GO!"
"But how do we catch the Totoros?" asks Tolkien.
"Time's a-wastin'," says Chris.
The Fish Tails hurry off.
"Our best bet is the middle of the city. There's a lot of good hiding spots there. We should probs go for the biggest Totoro," says Horatio.
"Yeah, it will be easiest to find," says Tolkien.
A small white Totoro falls from the sky, bounces off of Julian's afro, then hops away.
"Hey, I just felt something funny in my hair," says Julian.
Roz points to the Totoro which is scurrying away in shock.
"HURRY UP, GET IT!" yells Estrella.
Roz crawls on her hands and knees in a swift, monkey-like manner. She jumps and grabs the Totoro, cupping it with both of her hands so it is trapped on the ground.
"Gotcha," she says.
"Quick, get it, before it turns--" says Tolkien.
Roz opens up her hands, and it is gone.
"--Invisible," says Tolkien.
"Well, it must be around here somewhere," says Julian.
"Who cares?" asks Estrella. "The Totoros aren't even cute."
Everyone gasps.
"Do you think ANYTHING is cute, Estrella?" asks Tolkien.
"Blood," says Estrella. "Centipedes crawling across people's skin. Knives flying out of nowhere and almost stabbing people's heads. Dead dogs in the highway. Vultures that eat human carcasses. Gory, grisly corpses hanging out to dry. Oh, and teddy bears."
"I'm not really sure how to respond to that," says Julian.
"On that happy note, let's go get those Totoros," says Horatio.
The Fish Tails run away, all while trying to avoid Estrella.
Julian says in the confessional, "Lucky for her, I have gotten cut many times. A centipede once crawled into my shirt when I was at summer camp. When I was six, a psycho madman with a knife was in the same continent as me. My dog once, er, took a walk into the highway. I went to the zoo once and saw a vulture. At my Great-Aunt Reba's funeral, she was hanging out to dry, not a pleasant sight. And I have a teddy bear named Pooky, who is currently in my suitcase at the hotel. Does that make me cute?"
The Dharmas are hunting about in the countryside.
"Why are we here?" asks Layla. "Charles, I'm thirsty."
"Charles is takin' a wazz," says Kai.
"Plus, there's a lake right there," says Delia quietly.
"So? I never told Charles that he could do that. He needs my permission," says Layla.
"He's just peeing," says Kai.
"Yeah, Layla, give Charlie a break," says Isabel.
Charles comes jogging out from behind a tree.
"All right, I am back. Layla, what did you need?" he asks.
"I said, I'm thirsty," says Layla.
"Well, I do not have any drinks with me," says Charles.
"So?" asks Layla.
A rustling noise is heard in a tree. Suddenly, nothing comes out, but something is heard falling, and seemingly nothing drops onto Layla, crushing her under.
"Hey, it's an invisible Totoro!" says Kai.
Kai waves his magic wand, and the Totoro appears, but Layla disappears.
"Where's Layla?" asks Isabel.
The Totoro scampers away into the bushes.
Layla then comes out. She is now a small white Totoro with evil-looking eyes, mini versions of her clothes, and her hair.
"Kai, I officially hate you," she says in a squeaky voice.
"Gee, thanks," says Kai. "I didn't mean to."
"Charles, turn me back into a human," Layla squeaks.
"All right, Kai, let me see your magic wand..." begs Charles.
"But you're not a trained magician. You gotta practice first," says Kai.
"Practice schmactice, just let him do it!" squeaks Layla angrily.
Delia points to a Totoro in the bushes. But the others are too busy arguing, and it scampers away.
"Nice going, you missed a Totoro," says Delia angrily.
"I don't even care about the freaking Totoro. I just want to turn back into a human," squeaks Layla, beginning to sob.
"I think we know her weakness..." says Delia enigmatically.
"Ooh, Layla, can you turn into a fish next?" says Isabel happily.
Layla jumps and hits Isabel in the foot. Isabel says, "Owie."
Kai says in the confessional, "Ok, so I screwed up. I hope I can make it farther, I really need the money to show my jerkass brother who's boss."
Layla the Totoro says in the confessional, "I am going to kill Kai."
The Tanukis then creep by, behind a bush.
"Shh, there's the Dharmas!" says Puck quietly.
"All right, guys, just don't make any noise. And Puck, no LEEDLE LEEDLE LEEDLE LEE-ing," says Casey quietly.
"Let's just be PJs," says Vivienne.
"And there's the Totoro!" says Flora, who doesn't know that it's actually Layla.
"I got it," says Puck valiantly.
Puck tiptoes out from the bush, and pounces on top of Layla.
"Hey, it's that fat penguin guy!" yells Layla. "Get off me!"
"Don't try to get me with your tomfoolery," says Puck. "Guys, I got it!"
Puck runs away. Everyone glares.
"Maybe it's better that she's gone," says Kai cheerfully.
"Hey, that looks a lot like Layla..." says Casey, looking at the Totoro that Puck caught.
"It is Layla, fool. Now, bring me back to my team," says Layla in anger.
Casey looks, and starts to laugh loudly at Layla.
"It's not funny, guys," she squeaks.
The scene then changes to night, where they are all in the middle of the city.
The Fish Tails have the two larger Totoros with them, in nets.
"Nice going, Fishies," says Chris. "Where's the little white one?"
The little white Totoro crawls out of Charles' trousers, and makes a squeaking noise.
"Ugh, so it was in there the whole time?" yells Layla, still a Totoro. "Charles, you're so useless."
"Um, what sort of accidents happened here?" asks Chris warily.
"I did stuff," says Kai.
A strange British guy rides by on a rainbow Nyan cat, and sprinkles magic dust.
The dust covers everyone, and they all begin to cough. Once it clears, Layla is a human.
"Gee, it's about time," says Layla.
"Just be glad you're a human," says Delia hauntingly.
"So, the Fish Tails, for winning the first part, get an advantage in the second part," says Chris. He hands them all pogo sticks.
"What are these gonna do to help us?" asks Estrella.
"You'll see," says Chris. "Anyway, your challenge is to jump on Large Marge, the big gray Totoro. Last contestant standing wins. You guys can push and kick each other to get each other off if you want."
"Why is it named Large Marge?" asks Tolkien warily.
"Do I look like I know or care?" asks Chris.
"No, not really," says Tolkien.
"Okay, good. Those pogo sticks seem pretty helpful now, eh?" he asks.
"...Can I sit out?" asks Estrella.
"Not unless you want to get voted out," says Chris.
Estrella says in the confessional, "Okay, I may not look like it, but I actually want to win."
Large Marge roars loudly.
"Uh, does it do that frequently?" asks Puck, scared.
"Nah, only when it's hungry," says Chris.
Everyone looks at Chris. Realizing what he's said, he then says, "But I fed it. Last night. Heh, heh."
"Can we just end this challenge already?" asks Casey.
"Fine, get on Marge," says Chris angrily.
The contestants get on the large Totoro, who begins to wriggle about.
"Uh, I'm not sure this is safe..." says Tolkien.
"Ha, relax, little boy. It'll be fun," chirps Roz, getting on her pogo stick.
"Ready?" yells Chris. "Set..."
Tolkien begins to sweat. Horatio takes off his sunglasses, and Puck takes off his helmet, revealing to be completely bald.
"What?" he asks, noticing everyone is staring at his bald head. "Oh, this. Heh. I should prob grow it out, eh?"
"I will love you more if you do," says Casey.
Puck puts his helmet back on self-consciously.
Chris blows a starting whistle. "GO!"
The contestants begin to hop around the Totoro. Soon, Puck trips and falls off.
"Nice going!" yells Casey sarcastically.
"Sorry, Case, I tried," says Puck.
"Just--" Before Casey can finish her sentence, Delia pushes her off and she lands on Puck.
"You deserved it," says Delia.
"For what?" yells Casey innocently.
Delia flashes her an evil stare and jumps away.
"Don't ask me," says Puck. Casey glowers at him.
Horatio bumps into Layla with his logo stick.
"Ow!" she yells, and falls off. "Charles, get him!"
Charles charges at Horatio, who easily pushes him off with a pogo stick.
Roz is hopping about, carrying a crowbar.
"How did you find that?!" yells Estrella, while boinging.
Roz just giggles, then flits away, hitting members of the other teams with her crowbar and making them fall off.
"While the contestants violently fight, please enjoy this ten second commercial," says Chris.
The scene switches to a psychedelic background. Funky music is playing.
Kavren comes out and begins to speak in Japanese. He then dances in his banana suit for ten seconds.
The scene changes back to Chris, who is sitting on a lawn chair sipping a martini.
"Now, back to the show," he says pleasantly.
The camera zooms to Large Marge, who is lying down. All of the contestants except Roz are piled up in heaps below the Totoro.
"So, you won, eh?" asks Chris.
"No, they're just piled up like that for fun," says Roz. "Yah, I won. Now, can my team be invincible?"
"Sure," says Chris.
Everyone on the Fish Tails gets up hesitantly. "Whoo-hoo!" says Julian woozily, fainting soon after.
"Other two teams, I'll see you at elimination," says Chris.
"Ehh?" asks Puck.
"You heard me," says Chris.
Puck says in the confessional, "Well, that was no fun. I wanna vote for someone on the other team, but..."
Casey says in the confessional, "This game is getting too boring. Maybe I should quit. Would Chelsey like that?"
Layla says in the confessional angrily, "I am this close to firing Charles. Ugh, that jerkface."
Chris is at the elimination ceremony.
"Dharmas, Tanukis... Once again, you let the Fish Tails swim by. You guys gotta get your game on, eh? Anyway, the first sushi goes to Kai," he says.
Kai grabs his sushi and eats it. Layla glares at him menacingly.
"Isabel, Casey, Puck..." says Chris.
The three get their sushi. Puck chews on it obnoxiously, and Casey throws hers at him, while Isabel giggles.
"Chris, may I have a sushi? I am quite peckish," says Charles.
"Sure, Charles," says Chris. "Anything for the most important non-contestant on the show. Besides me."
Chef comes in and glares at Chris, then he stamps out in a huff. Chris tosses Charles a sushi, and Charles happily eats it.
"Anyway, Flora and Viv are safe, too," says Chris, tossing them both sushi.
"Mmmm, I love sushi," says Flora. "You don't say," says Vivienne.
"Layla and Delia. One of you is snobby and got turned into a Totoro, then whined."
"I had a good reason..." scoffs Layla.
"And Delia, you're creepy. Final sushi goes to..."
"Layla."
"Woo-hoo," says Layla sarcastically. "Let's go, Charles."
The two walk back to the hotel.
"You all will regret that this ever happened..." mutters Delia.
"Delia, I'll miss you. Kind of. You were hot. And better than Layla," says Kai.
Vivienne looks on in horror. "Don't worry, he's probably kidding," says Flora, attempting to comfort her.
"Whatever. I am out," says Delia. She stomps to the Taxi of Losers, then disappears.
"Yay, a three-person team!" says Isabel happily.
"What, I am not a person?" asks Charles.
"No, I was referring to Layla," says Isabel. Layla glowers at her.
"Who will win? Who will lose? Who will turn into an animal next? Find out on Total... Drama... Tokyo!"
