## History

* Disventure Camp (Season 2)
* Disventure Camp: All-Stars

### *Disventure Camp (Season 2)*

Before the show, Aiden claims to have watched every previous season of *Disventure Camp* and *Total Drama*.

#### Episode 1

Aiden was first seen on the bus sitting next to Oliver in Episode 1. He wonders why Oliver looked familiar and was told it was because he was seen on previous shows as an intern. When the bus breaks down and the campers are told to run to the camp, Aiden ends up running with James, Riya, and Yul. As James and Yul go on about their internet fame, Aiden himself points out that he has a small following on social media. Aiden ends up in 9th place in the race to the camp and is placed on the Orange Team.

Aiden recognizes Kristal as Chris Mclean's daughter but is immediately shut down by her. Later on outside the Cabins, Aiden is talking to James about social handles from previous contestants. When Aiden points out that couples seem to rank rather high, James expresses hope that they will be the most popular. Aiden says he doesn't really follow that kind of stuff, being more focused on challenges and the show itself. For the first challenge, Aiden is paired up with James to ride a four-wheeler for their part of the relay race. While Aiden holds the flag, James drives but insists Aiden takes pics of them racing, much to Aiden's annoyance.

#### Episode 2

In Episode 2, James told Aiden how since the former posted a story of them in the show, the latter gained a thousand followers; a fact which Aiden doesn't really care about. Aiden is skeptical considering themselves friends but James makes a good point that they're the only guys on their team to which Aiden concedes to having him as a friend in the game. Aiden questions if the show can't come up with anything more original than a sleeping challenge which was already been done before.

During the challenge, James notes to him how Maggie, Rosa Marie, and Lake seem awfully close which could only mean one thing: a woman's alliance with the obvious elimination targets being the two guys. The two wonder if Karol could be part of it and Aiden agreed to talk to her upon James' suggestion. When talking to Karol, Aiden learns that she is more into allying herself with animals and is hoping to eliminate one of the girls which he tried reporting back to James but had fallen asleep. Aiden ends up being one of the last two on his team with Karol to stay awake but soon succumbs to slumber.

After the challenge, Aiden told James what he had learned about Karol, unknowingly giving him the information needed for the girls' alliance to target Karol instead. Aiden is shocked and furious at what James did to save his own skin since he assumed the three could form an alliance against the girls. Believing to have betrayed Karol's trust and being used by James, Aiden insists that James stay far, far away from him. At the elimination ceremony, Aiden votes for James for his deception but Karol is ultimately eliminated and Aiden apologizes quietly for how things transpired.

#### Episode 3

Episode 3 begins with Aiden still resenting James from the last episode who tries to be friendly towards him. James claims he was just playing the game and that Aiden is naive to believe the others wouldn't turn on him at some point but Aiden leaves in a huff. While stepping outside, he accidentally slips on Lake's books and asks her why she's still studying while competing, being taken aback at how her parents are making her maintain her grades.

Aiden expresses outrage with the episode's kissing challenge, citing how low the show would go for views (and dough). After the wheel lands on James, Aiden is displeased and wishes it was anyone other than him. He reluctantly approaches James to fulfill the challenge requirements but to his shock, he eagerly grabs his face and kisses him longer than expected, leaving Aiden incredibly flustered by the end. Aiden is also seen kissing Hunter in another round. When the challenge ends, he and James looked at one another in bewilderment as Kai chews out Yul for not kissing Maggy.

#### Episode 4

In Episode 4, James asks Aiden if he minds sitting with him in the Dining Hall but walks off after Aiden questions why did he start caring about his opinion all of the sudden. During the first question of the truth challenge, Aiden owns up to having auditioned for the previous season but wasn't considered interesting enough and boasts if that was the best they got for questions.

Aiden alongside Lake then buzzes in for the next question of who had their first kiss in the previous challenge, a fact that he brushed off but really surprised James, and becomes worried when Kristal threatens she will 'expose his worst secret' if he challenges her again. Kristal reveals that Aiden still sleeps with a teddy bear as one of the secrets she outright exposed after most of the campers are refusing to participate. As the challenge continues, Kristal drops a bombshell by asking which member of the Orange Team had sex reassignment surgery and while no one answered, Aiden looks on nervously.

Once the challenge ends, Yul convinces Aiden to vote for James to his reluctance but soon realize he was tricked as the votes were read and it resulted in a tie-breaker between Yul and Maggy in which the former wins.

#### Episode 5

In Episode 5, Aiden and Lake have a serious talk about the latter's personal life. Lake asks Aiden if he believes she's leading a normal life to which he admits she's doing things that cause her more harm than good and suggests going to Rosa Marie as she expresses a similar opinion and wants the best for Lake.

For 'The Queen Says' challenge, Kristal makes Aiden snatch Nina from Marcus and puppeteer her until he comes back and is freaked out when Nina appears to be talking on her own. Later, Aiden is dared to eat a ghost pepper, the effects of which he immediately come to regret, then Marcus retrieves Nina who threatened to break his hands if he goes near her again. Aiden supports Lake's decision not to remove her wig for the challenge and was stunned after Lake calls Kristal out for being worst than her father since he was never brave enough to say what he thought to Kristal's face.

During dinner, Yul talks to Aiden again but this was merely a distraction for James to poison Aiden's plate with poisonous mushrooms as Yul felt threatened by his friendship with Lake earlier on. Aiden confronts James at the elimination ceremony about the plan when Yul reveals it while being whisked away by the paramedics. However, Aiden was nevertheless thankful for James not going through with it and poisoning Yul instead, appreciating that James had prioritized him over his alliance with Yul.

#### Episode 6

As the teams board the bus for the next challenge in Episode 6, James and Aiden are shown sitting next to each other as they recall the reason behind Yul's elimination to the other team. After the merge was announced, Aiden thanks Oliver for leaving backpacks along the way back to camp and is surprised to learn he has been paired with James for the challenge. While James complains about the lack of internet access in the woods, Aiden suggests he should focus more on the challenge and less on his followers which James reluctantly agrees to.

Aiden admits in the confessional that after the previous elimination, he's reconsidering his view on James and thinks he might not be as bad as he originally thought. The two would find a backpack with a tent inside and set camp once night falls. Aiden gets annoyed at James complaining about not updating his account once again but before he tells him, the thunder outside startles him. He denies to James that he's scared of thunder, just that it makes him harder to sleep, but is surprised when James cuddles him in an attempt to calm him down. Aiden blushes at the gesture before he and James fall asleep snuggling up to one another.

The next morning, Aiden and James become the first pair to reach camp using the bike they found and were rewarded handsomely with a hot-tub party. Aiden insists that everyone is invited and is pleased when James would check up on his followers later and enjoy the hot tub with him.

#### Episode 7

In Episode 7, Aiden is teamed up with Tess, Ally, and Rosa Maria for the dodgeball game and questions if the unstable platform that Kristal built will even support their weight. Aiden is later knocked out of the game and the rest of the challenge by Lake.

While taking a break before the final part of the challenge, Aiden asks Lake for some advice in regard to James since he's been getting along with him a lot better but is still hesitant to trust James again after their past experience. Following Lake's advice of giving him a chance, Aiden asks James if he wants to be friends which he agrees to. The two take a pic with each other before Rosa Marie, Riya and Lake came up to strategize on who to eliminate next.

During the elimination ceremony, Aiden seems worried at the idea of James facing possible elimination.

#### Episode 8

Aiden worries about Nina supposedly leading the challenge for Episode 8, recalling the time he puppeteer her three episodes ago, but the rest of the campers think that was merely special effects. After everyone ignores Nina's warning and went off to do their own thing, James suggests he and Aiden watch a horror movie that he hesitantly agrees to in spite of being terrified of slashers.

Aiden waits outside the Dining Hall for James to get popcorn, wondering if he can convince him about watching a comedy instead when he hears a scream. He goes inside to find what appears to be a dying James and promptly freaks out. But before he could run and get help, "The Night Butcher" suddenly appears behind Aiden and attacks him as well. Upon waking up in the Camera Tent, Aiden was immensely relieved James is alive since the deaths were faked with tranquilizers and ketchup. He was surprised when "The Night Butcher" was none other than Karol and then annoyed when she gave immunity to Hunter and Ally since they were the two biggest targets for elimination.

While discussing with James in the Cabin, Aiden objects to voting off Lake due to their friendship and express worry about Karol wanting revenge on the two of them for eliminating her. However, Karol claims otherwise and just wants to make amends which Aiden buys her story. At the elimination ceremony, Aiden is upset over Lake getting the boot and wishes her goodbye before she heads towards the bus.

#### Episode 9

Episode 9 starts off with everyone waking up in their cabins freezing, due to the sudden snow outside. As Aiden attempts to build his sled for the challenge, Aiden comes across a tarantula. While initally freaked, Karol claims that it seems to be harmless and suggest Aiden hold onto it to help his fea; which does appear to help. James tries to talk to him about what he overheard Karol said about her plans for Aiden and himself. Aiden though claims that the two need to focus on the challenge.

Aiden admits in the confessional that he worries that James paranoia is gonna make him try to trick Aiden into eliminating Karol again. During the second part of the challenge, Aiden and James team up with James pulling the sled that Aiden is riding. James ask Aiden if he thinks he is lying about Karol. Aiden is honest and admits that because of his past actions, he is hesitant to completely trust James yet. James admits that he can understand that, and even apologizes to Aiden for not including him on his intent from the start. James then reveals to Aiden the video he took of Riya and Karol talking, revealing to Aiden that she really does want to eliminate them as soon as possible. Aiden is shocked by the video and feels foolosh for trusting Karol and not James. James assures him that now they both have proof it is okay. In the next part of the challenge James stirs the sled blind folded while Aiden guides him. Right before the challenge however, Aiden is seen putting the spider onto Oliver; who is Karol's partner in the next challenge.

As they are racing, Aiden has James ram into Karols sled, who in turn rams into them much harder and knocks them off their sled, stopping them from racing. When the spider causes Oliver to crash him and Karol into a snow bank, Karol is seen to have broken her leg, expunging her from the competition. Before she leaves however she calls Aiden out for endangering the spider she trusted him with, which ultimately got squished by Karol when she landed. Aiden however claims that she needs to check her priorities as she seems more worried about hurting an animal as opposed to hurting himself and James. Later on when James ask about Aidens sabotaging Karol, Aiden admits he just wanted to freak her out, not to harm her.

James then admits he is quite proud of Aiden for appearing to be finally taking the game seriously. Aiden happily hugs James for the compliment. At the elimination ceremony when Ally is eliminated, Aiden points out it is cause they are a real threat together.

#### Episode 10

Episode 10 starts with Aiden waking up next to James. Apprently the two fell asleep as they watched a movie the night before. James then asks if he has seen his phone, which Aiden denies. While James continues to look, Aiden goes and has breakfast with Rosa. Aiden and Rosa talk about what they would do with their winnings. Aiden claims that he would use it to travel. When James and Riya meet up with the two, both claim to have lost something important. The alliance though then talk about targeting Hunter in the next challenge in the hopes of eliminating him next from the contest.

When James and Aiden go off on their own during the hunting challenge, James tells Aiden that he thinks that his phone and Riya's perfume were not lost but stolen. Aiden thinks this is a rash assumption and questions who James thinks the culprit is. Hunter then begins to shoot at them, resulting them to run off and seek shelter in the dining Hall. When Riya and Rosa come in, Rosa admits that she told Hunter of their intent. While initially upset, When Riya claims it was all part of their plan to trap Hunter, Aiden claims it is actually quiet brilliant. When the set up fails however, Aiden, James, Rosa, and Riya go off and try to find Hunter. When the four meet up again, all fail to find him. It is then announced that if time runs out without a soul winner then whoever has the most ballons in the end would win (In this case Rosa María or Aiden as then have two balloons each). James then suggest letting Aiden win and proceeds to pop Rosa's balloons. Despite Aiden's protest, James pops all of Rosa's balloons for supposedly stealing his phone and ratting the alliance out to Hunter. When Hunter goes on the offense once more, Aiden's second ballon is popped and he cannot fire as he is out of darts. When Rosa looks for more darts in her bag, it reveals James and Riya's belongings, implicating her for the earlier thefts. The rest of the group are too stunned by the revelation to notice Hunter has popped all their balloons. Aiden is upset with Rosa for her actions and seems to vote her off along with James and Riya.

#### Episode 11

Episode 11 starts off with Aiden congratulating James for reaching two million followers. When James points out that Aiden himself has also gained some followers, Aiden does not seem that interested in it. Riya than greets the boys ad they discuss the previous elimination and about getting Hunter out of the game next. Aiden and James then invite Riya to the Lake to hang out. While James is swimming, Aiden himself is sitting on the dock. When James suggest he take off his shirt and join him, Aiden expresses discomfort with taking off his shirt. James then suggest just swimming in the shirt and with that Aiden jumps in. Aiden and James express excitement for the making it so far in the game and ponder on what they will do once the game is over. When James sugest they take a trip together, Aiden is happy with the idea.

Aiden then expresses a need to tell James about somehting he finds uncomfortable and admits it has to do with the challenge where campers own personal secrets were revealed. Before Aiden can elaborate however, James insist that if Aiden isn't comfortable talking about it then he doesn't have to and promises that no matter what nothing will change his mind on him. Relieved, Aiden hugs James in appreciation. Soon after the semi-finales begin where the campers have to jump off ledge into the lake. Aiden then admits to James that he is terrified of heights, but James assures him that he will help him conquer his fear.

After making it to the lowest ledge, Aiden begins to count down until he jumps, only to have James literally give him a push over. While not entirely happy with James actions, he does appreciate the help and thanks James when they wait for the second part of the challenge. Riya then takes the moment to reveal what she found on James phone when she took it. Riya reveals that James has been using Aiden to gain more followers, and has even received money from fans who want to see the two together. Aiden at first thinks Riya is lying but when James admits there is truth to it, Aiden becomes frustrated. In hurt Aiden claims that all James cares about is followers and insist that James no longer talk to him, not want to hear any apology that he has to offer.

In the confessional Aiden shows just how hurt he is by James actions. During the second part of the challenge , with Aiden having but a sling shot and lemons, he focuses on knocking down Nina. Aiden then calls Riya out for not telling him of the information sooner and calls her out for being a opportunist, looking for the right moment to wreck chaos. In frustration, Aiden is able to knock out Nina, gaining immunity for the night. Aiden, still mad at James, walks right by him without giving him a second glance.

At the elimination challenge he is shocked that Riya has the immunity totem, but also that she was the real thief from the previous episode. Aiden, along with Hunter and James, voted for Riya, but it does not matter as she is immune to elimination, hence Hunter is eliminated from the game. The episode ends with Aiden claiming that he wants to win and never see anyone in the camp ever again.

#### Episode 12

Episode 12 picks off where the previous episode left off. Aiden and James are locked out the Cabin by Riya and decided to sleep in the dinning hall alone. The next morning Aiden is seen reminiscing of his time with James, clearly heartbroken that perhaps none of it was ever real. At the finale Challenge the previous campers return to show support for the finalist, and it shows that most of them support Aiden to win. Aiden is obviously happy to see Lake and even picks her to assit him in the finale challenge.

On the bus ride to the challenge starting point, Aiden admits he feels stupid after what he learned, and even expresses that me might not want to fix things with James after what happened. In the first leg of the race, Lake is able to drag Aiden on skis to the top, as Aiden is able to collect all he needs in spite of Riya's attempts to sabotage him. When Aiden is scaling the ledge, Lake tries to reason that James does have real feelings for Aiden, even if his earlier intent was not. Lake uses her own growth to show that people can change, and that maybe he should talk to James to see if that he has changed as well.

When Aiden gets to the top, he begins to panic about gliding down, something that Riya exploits. Despite Aiden telling her to leave him alone, she only eggs him on about how he was used and lied to over and over and how he only made it so far because of dumb luck. Riya backs Aiden up right to the edge, which he falls off, barely grabbing on to the ledge for dear life. The episode ends with Aiden sounding like he is about to fall to his demise any second.

#### Episode 13

Part Two of the finale shows Aiden slipping from the edge, just as James comes and grabs him by the wrist, hoisting him back up to saftey. Aiden thanks James, who in turn makes sure he is alright. James then takes the time to explain that while he was using Aiden at first, and that it was messed up for him to do, after a while James grew to have real feelings for Aiden. Aiden questions if he is just saying that to get back his followers, and James reveals that when he lost it all (his followers, his image, his friends) all he really wanted was Aiden.

Aiden stunned by this revelation admits that he was irritating when he learned of James previous intent. James and Aiden make amends and James insist the two take the leap together. Aiden though, knowing only one of them can continue onwards and that James has the better chance of beating Riya, insist James go on ahead. James is hesitant to go, so Aiden reminds of him of giving him a push in the previous challenge, pulls him in for a kiss, and then pushes James off the ledge. As James glides down, Aiden encourages James to win, and even tells Rosa on the radio to meet James at the dock.

With Aiden now out of the competition he joins the new group of supporters for James. While watching the race unfold, Aiden ask Lake what she plans to do after the show. Lake reveals to Aiden that she will be staying with Rosa Maria for a while as her family is quite upset with her previous actions on the show.

When James wins the race, Aiden hugs and congratulates him on his victory. James though claims that it is their victory, which earns a kiss from Aiden. Aiden and James are seen holding hands, cementing them as an official couple right before James receives his winnings.
