"Last time on Total Drama Action," Chris began the recap while wrapping up a present. "The cast was able to let loose by rockin' it, sockin' it, and chowin' it like rock stars! We got a taste of some of the cast's musical talent, learned Lindsay has some hidden skills in the art of the Japanese Vocaloids, Lincoln ain't afraid to diss it and diss it hard, and DJ…put on a performance that moved even yours truly to tears! I'm not still crying! You're still crying!"
Chris wiped his eyes before picking out a bow to put on the present. "But DJ soon pulled a risky move as he separated from Chef to prove to the big bad cook that he's capable of winning all on his own! Unfortunately for him he was unable to prevent Ronnie Anne from winning invincibility, but not without some help from the party boy Geoff. Everything seemed to align with Geoff going home, but after some words from Bridgette, Izzy volunteered herself to take the lamosine out of here and resigning herself to be a one hit wonder! So long crazy! Tensions are high now, but hopefully we can shed some good will onto our fellow man! So make yourself some hot chocolate, roast some chestnuts on an open fire, and stay tuned for this week's episode of Total…Drama…Action!"
T'was the day before a challenge, when all thro' the lot, the cast was stirring, enough to upset even a mouse.
"Brbrbrbrbr…" Bridgette shivered as she wrapped herself up in a blanket. Ever since the rock and roll challenge the weather has been getting rather cold lately with cool breezes coming in and the leaves on the trees changing signaling the changing of the seasons. But for Bridgette this just meant her regretting not bringing warm clothing with her. "Achoo! Brrr it's freezing this morning. Hope Dawn's doing ok outside,"
"Tch," Was all Ronnie Anne let out as she laid down in bed, also using a blanket to shield herself from the cold, with Bridgette simply rolling her eyes in response.
CONFESSIONAL – Bridgette
"I don't know what's colder, the weather or Ronnie Anne," Bridgette let out angrily. She really wished they could have voted her off at the last challenge, but somehow and someway she managed to out eat all of them. "Wish Owen was still here, he would have won the eating challenge easily…wait…his jaw…right…"
"Tada!" Just then stepping out of the shower of the trailer was Lindsay, only she was wearing a completely different outfit than her usual attire. The ditzy blond was now sporting some much warmer clothing consisting of a purple jacket that went down to her knees with white fur rims around the neck and the bottom, some snowflakes around the bottom half of the coat, and the sleeves being a lighter purple with a polka dot pattern, dark purple thick stockings, white heel boots, a purple fuzzy beret, and topping it all of was a pair of crystal looking earrings that looked like they were made of ice. "How do I look?'
"Wow Lindsay," Bridgette let out in an impressed tone as Lindsay struck a few poses to show off her attire. Meanwhile Ronnie Anne simply rolled her eyes and scoffed at the sight but Lindsay didn't really care and just focused on showing off to Bridgette. "You look really good!
"Aw thanks Bridgette," Lindsay smiled at the compliment as she proudly looked over herself. "I brought some winter clothes incase it started getting cold here, and looks like again I was right~"
"When was the first time?" Ronnie Anne snarked, getting dirty looks from both blonds.
Lindsay decided to ignore Ronnie Anne as she reached into her luggage and pulled out another coat identical to the one she was wearing and tossed it to Bridgette. "Here Bridgette, I brought two just in case," Lindsay kindly offered the spare coat to the surfer girl with Bridgette happily putting it on, eager to put on some warmer clothes. "Just be careful not to stain it or anything k?"
"I will, thanks Lindsay," Bridgette told her fellow blond as she hugged herself after putting on the coat, helping herself warm up. The coat was a little loose around the chest region, but otherwise it fit her quite nicely. "Got anything for Dawn?"
"Sorry, I don't think so," Lindsay frowned as she looked through her bag again for anything she could give to the aura reader outside. "But I'm sure she'll be fine, remember the heatwave a few weeks ago? She didn't even feel that, maybe it'll be the same with the cold."
"Maybe try worrying about your own butt surfer girl," Ronnie Anne spoke up again, getting annoyed at Bridgette's concern over the hippy girl. "Heard you're having problems in paradise after all~'
"Gee, I wonder why…" Bridgette said as both she and Lindsay narrowed their eyes dangerously at Ronnie Anne. Oh they couldn't wait until their first opportunity to vote Ronnie Anne the heck outta here. "You really are petty, you know that right?'
"Hmph, what do you know?" Ronnie Anne raised her head up so she could glare at Bridgette.
"Well at least I know how to treat a boyfriend right," Bridgette stated followed by Lindsay nodding in agreement. "And I don't go around breaking promises he made to each other,"
"Oh yeah," Ronnie Anne growled out, knowing exactly what Bridgette was referring to. "How's treating him right working out for ya lately?"
"Well his head is currently filled with lies!" Bridgette stated as her glare towards Ronnie Anne deepened even more. "Thanks to a certain someone who doesn't know the meaning of moving on and getting over it."
"Don't act like you know me!" Ronnie Anne shouted as she got up from the bed and stomped over to Bridgette. She wasn't about to take that sorta crap from Bridgette, she had no right to talk to her that way! "You have no idea the amount of crap I went through because of him being on this show!"
"That hardly gives you the right to act the way you are right now," Lindsay spoke up, defending Bridgette as she got in between the two and forcing Ronnie Anne to take a few steps back. "If anything it's justifying the karma you're getting!"
And soon after that it escalates into a full on argument between Ronnie Anne, Lindsay and Bridgette.
Meanwhile in the boys' trailer…
"Brbrbr…Brbrbrb…Brbrbrbr…" Edward shivered out as the little mammal snuggled into DJ. Being from Australia, Edward wasn't used to any form of cold so despite his fur he was taking it just about as well as everyone else in the lot.
"I feel ya brother," DJ said as he softly stroked Edward's fur, the brick house now wearing a long sleeved sweater underneath his usual t-shirt. Thankfully Momma raised a man who was always prepared and he made sure to pack some warm clothes just for the occasion. "I wasn't made for the cold either."
"Brbrbr…I-I knew I should h-have packed my jacket," Harold shivered, the ginger geek unfortunately not as prepared as DJ was for the cold and was forced to use his blanket as his only defense against the cold that was seeping in from the outside. "I can't perform my mad skills w-when I'm shivering like this,"
"Guess since we're further up north we can expect it to get colder faster," Lincoln stated, now wearing an orange sweater to help him beat the cold. Thankfully growing up in an area close to the great lakes made him get used to the cold, but he was used to it coming a little later than it was currently. But as Lincoln spoke, the white head sighed as he could feel a pair of eyes glaring at him. "Geoff, I can feel you glaring at me,"
"Grrrrr…" Geoff growled out while doing just that, the party dude ignoring the cold with his hatred for the Loud boy.
CONFESSIONAL – Harold
"You think it's possible the heat between them can warm up the trailer?" Harold asked as he hugged himself while shivering. "I mean I don't want a fight, I'm just really cold!"
"Geoff, would you just chill out already?" DJ told the party dude as he gave him a scolding look and tone. DJ and the rest of the super alliance were starting to regret sacrificing Izzy to keep Geoff along. Despite the warning he got on improving his behavior, Geoff has shown no signs of improving. In fact, it seemed he was getting worse each day and didn't do anything to hide his dislike towards Lincoln or Dawn, and still occasional he would try to reach out to the likes of Lindsay, DJ, and Harold to get them to 'see the truth' and it was just becoming too much for them to deal with. "Seriously, if we're gonna have to stay in here to keep warm we should all at least try to get along man,"
"Come on man! How can you take his side over mine!?" Geoff yelled towards DJ, everyone let out an annoyed sigh as they rolled their eyes. "We're supposed to be best buds bro!"
"Ugh…" Was all DJ could let out as he shook his head.
"Look, just relax DJ. I'll leave," Lincoln offered, causing Geoff to smirk, thinking this was some sort of victory over the white head. "I need some fresh air, and I wanna see how Dawn's doing anyway."
But when Lincoln went to open the door…
POOF!
"Woah!" Lincoln let out as he was swept off his feet. The second he opened the door to the trailer he was nearly buried in a giant pile of snow that fell inside. "What the…"
"Dang!" Harold let out as all the guys' eyes widened in shock at all the fresh white power that was now invading their trailer. "I didn't think it was THAT cold!"
"Brbrb!" Edward immediately hopped out of DJ's lap and began to try and dig Lincoln out of the snow.
"Wait a minute…" DJ raised an eyebrow in suspicion as he approached the snow and scooped some up. After taking it into his hands the brick house immediately knew what was up. "This is fake! It's just foam!"
"Foam?" Geoff repeated as he scratched his head a bit. Soon after that, the sounds of bells in the background suddenly hit everyone's ears, only adding to the confusion they were all facing at the current situation. "Are those…jingle bells?"
"Ho-Ho-Ho!" And if that wasn't enough, all of them suddenly heard an iconic laugh coming from outside. "Ho-Ho-Ho!"
"SANTA!" DJ suddenly gasped out as he sped outside…trampling on Lincoln in the process.
"Ow…" Lincoln groaned out.
"Hah!" Geoff laughed at the Loud boy's expense. "Serves ya right!"
"Hi-yah!" And Geoff was immediately rewarded with Harold karate chopping the back of his neck, sending him down.
CONFESSIONAL – Geoff
"Ooooww…how the heck does Harold hit that hard? He barely has any muscle..." Geoff groaned as he rubbed the spot on his neck that Harold had just struck. "Ugh, I gotta find a way to get rid of Lincoln, with everyone else on his side he'll grow too powerful…"
"DID SOMEONE SAY SANTA?!" The guys all heard Lindsay squeal from the girls' trailer.
"Woah!" Bridgette let out.
"What the hell!?" Ronnie Anne followed up.
Everyone managed to dig their way through the fake snow and get outside where they saw DJ and Lindsay rapidly looking around for Santa Claus, along with Dawn who was busy making a snowman…well, a foamman really. "Hey Dawn, morning," Lincoln greeted his girlfriend before looking over the foamman she made. "See you kept yourself busy,"
"Hehe, saw Chef bring out the snow machines and thought this would be a fun way to pass the time," Dawn explained as she patted the head of her foam creation. Just then a cold breeze of air blew by causing Lincoln to shiver with Dawn quickly giving him a concerned look. "Oh Lincoln, are you ok?"
"Y-Yeah, just a little cold is all," Lincoln let out as he hugged himself for warmth. Dawn soon gained a sly smirk as she walked up to Lincoln and pressed her body against him nice and close causing Lincoln to blush. "H-Hey come on Dawn,"
"Just making sure you're nice and warm~" Dawn told him in a flirty tone as she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Sharing body heat and all,"
"Oh barf," Ronnie Anne rolled her eyes and faked gagged.
"Ho-Ho-Ho! Ho-Ho-Ho!" Again all of them heard the iconic triple ho and it was coming closer. DJ and Lindsay gasped in excitement as they looked in the direction it was coming…with DJ's excitement soon fading as they all looked to see it was just Chris dressed as Santa riding in a sleigh with Lily sitting next to him. But that disappointment DJ had soon turned to laughter as they saw who exactly was pulling Chris' sleigh.
"Move Chefdolph! Move!" Chris let out as he pulled out a whip and used it to strike Chef. The buff cook was set up with a harness to pull the sleigh…while wearing a reindeer onesie complete with a red nose, antlers, and a fluffy white tail. "We have presents to deliver!"
"I will remember this…" Chef growled out as he stopped when he was in front of all the contestants.
"So will we~" Ronnie Anne smirked as they all took great amusement at seeing Chef like this.
"Ho-Ho-Ho! Merry Christmas one and all!" Chris yelled out to everyone as he stood up in his sleigh with his arms held out. "As I'm sure you all can tell-Woah!"
"Santa!" Lindsay, still believing that it was the real Santa in front of them, excitedly ran up to the sleigh and forced Chris back down as she sat down on the host's lap. "I just wanna say I've been a really good girl this year! And woooooow! You look so much younger and skinnier than when I saw you at the mall last year!"
CONFESSIONAL – Lily
"Poor, Poor, Lindsay," Lily shook her head at just how naive Lindsay was. "Everyone knows mall Santa's are just helpers to help the real Santa with his busy sheds…sheds…shule…that's a hard word."
"Lindsay, not actually Santa," Chris revealed, making Lindsay's eyes widened as Chris briefly removed his beard to show his uncovered face. "It's me. Chris."
"…Aaaawww…." Lindsay let out in disappointment as she got off Chris and jumped off the sleigh to rejoin everyone.
"Now back to what I was saying," Chris began again as he put the fake beard back on and straightened up his Santa costume before standing up again. "Happy Holiday's contestants! Today is the Christmas movie genre!"
"Really?" Ronnie Anne asked with a groan. She was not in any sort of mood for happy jolly Christmas films. "Holiday movies?"
"Duh! It's that time of the year after all!" Chris began properly explaining things to everyone. "The weather is getting colder, snow is falling from the sky, and stores are already putting up Christmas stuff two to three months early!"
"Not wrong," Lincoln nodded, confirming what Chris said was true. "Why do stores always put up Christmas stuff after Halloween? Where's the love for Thanksgiving?"
"Ahem!" Chris harshly cleared his throat as he glared at Lincoln. "Lincoln, dude, don't interrupt Santa! Or you'll be on the naughty list!"
"…Yes sir," Lincoln slowly nodded his head.
CONFESSIONAL – Dawn
"Oh he can be pretty naughty alright~" Dawn stated, following it with a wink.
"And don't worry contestants, Chris Claus has a gift for all of you!" Chris stated with a grin as he reached into the large sack in the back of the sleigh. Pulling out gifts, Chris threw one to each of the remaining eight contestants. "Put on what's inside and meet me at Santa's workshop in 20 minutes!"
"And the workshop would be at…" DJ asked with a raised brow.
"The same place we had the animation challenge," Chris stated with everyone nodding, thankfully remembering where it was. "See you there, ho-ho-ho! Now mush Chefdolph!"
CRACK!
"Grrrr…" Chef growled after Chris struck him with the whip with the buff cook reluctantly moving forward.
And once they were gone everyone decided to open their presents and see just what was inside. "No way! Nu-uh! Not happening!" As soon as she peaked inside, Ronnie Anne quickly closed the present again and began shaking her head. "This crosses the line! There is no way I'm wearing this!"
"You wore everything else," Lincoln stated with the roll of his eyes. Sure the costume this time may be more on the embarrassing side but eh, he's been through worse. "Why's this a problem?"
"Because this involves wearing tights and stupid fake ears!" Ronnie Anne pointed out as she reached into the box and pulled out a pair of elf ears. "You won't catch me dead wearing this!"
"Given your extensions I thought you'd be used to wearing fake stuff by now," Lincoln pointed out with a sly smirk causing Ronnie Anne to freeze and begin blushing in embarrassment.
"I thought that was the case~" Bridgette smirked with amusement causing Ronnie Anne to begin growling. "But hey if you don't wanna wear it that's fine, get yourself disqualified because you refused to wear it."
"…" Ronnie Anne began grumbling something under her breath as she very reluctantly opened up the box again.
And while this exchange was happening, Geoff glared deeply at Lincoln.
CONFESSIONAL – Geoff
"He's rubbing off on Bridgette now!" Geoff yelled out in a both angered and panicked voice. His Bridgette would never say such mean stuff in the past, Lincoln truly was a bad influence on her. "This has gone too far! I gotta put a stop to him right now!"
CONFESSIONAL – Harold
"Show's what Ronnie Anne knows, tights are awesome!" Harold stated, now wearing the elf costume Chris provided everyone consisting of a green skin tight shirt with red frill around the neck, brown gloves, a comically large black belt with a golden buckle, a red skirt with green tights, and yellow elf shoes, a typically red and green elf hat, and of course fake elf ears over his real ones. Harold then got up and turned around, showing off his butt to the camera with the tights pressing up against his butt…well…tightly. "They allow for maximum mobility! Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all!"
As per Chris' instructions, 20 minutes later everyone was now wearing the Elf costumes Chris gave them and were now waiting in front of the set they originally did the animation challenge at and were waiting for Chris to open the doors for them. And as they were waiting, Lincoln couldn't help but stare at Dawn and greatly admire the costume she was wearing this week. "Like what you see~?" Dawn asked, knowing her boyfriend was staring at her.
"Y-Yeah~" Lincoln nodded as he kept his eyes locked on the aura reader. "You just…wow you just look so natural as an elf~"
"Why thank you~" Dawn said before doing a little twirl and showing her full body off to Lincoln.
CONFESSIONAL – Lincoln
"WHY DOES SHE LOOK GOOD IN EVERYTHING?!" Lincoln shouted with a bright red face.
Soon enough the doors to the building then opened up and revealed that the set inside was completely redone. As opposed to an old timey black and white cartoon studio, the building inside was now a bright colorful toy workshop with Christmas decorations set up from the floor to the ceiling. The bright colors even made it hard for a few of the contestants to look at first.
"Welcome my happy little elves!" Chris shouted as he stepped out of the workshop and got a load of all the contestants in the elf costumes with some of them looking anything but happy. Oh well, it certainly made him happy! "Care to come in and get out of the cold?"
Everyone was all too happy to take Chris up on this offer as they all walked into the building and were able to see the full set for themselves with a few of them being impressed with what they were seeing. It really looked like a real toy workshop you'd see in a Christmas movie, complete with conveyor belts in different sections of the workshop. "Ah Christmas, a truly special time of year," Chris began, getting all eyes back on him. "The time to reflect, provide warmth and comfort to others, and spend your moments with the ones you love. It's about joy. And you know what brings real joy? Bombing presents! Time to put you elves to work!"
"Y-You put bombs in the presents?!" DJ yelled out in fear at that idea.
"Now why would I ruin the surprise~?" Chris chuckled rather menacingly before clearing his throat. "Now then time for you all to learn how stressful the Holidays can be! While Santa has the job of delivering gifts to all the good boys and girls in one single night, throughout the entire year the elves are tasked with making presents around the clock for all the children around the world. Not exactly an easy task, especially when each child wants something specific for them."
"So what, do we just gotta make toys or something?" Ronnie Anne asked while crossing her arms, the Latina very not happy about being forced to wear the outfit she had on.
"Sweet!" Harold bumped up a fist at the idea of doing that. "I'm a pro at building models and such!"
"Except you lot won't be doing that. I've seen a lot of your works in arts and crafts last season and I doubt any child would want what you guys would make," Chris called everyone out, getting some unamused looks from most of the cast. "Instead, you'll each be given a slip of paper with the name of a child, and a present they want. It's your job to find that present and present it to Santa, aka me. Winner gets an advantage in part two of the challenge!"
"Where are the presents?" Lindsay asked as she raised her hand. Chris then moved to the side and revealed a lever he was standing in front of. Pulling it, all the conveyor belts started up and chutes above them dropping presents down onto them. "Oooooo!"
Lindsay was about to reach out and grab one of the presents only for Chris to stop her. "Ah, ah, ah, I wasn't done," Chris scolded, causing Lindsay to pout. "While about half of the presents have toys inside of them, the other half are for the naughty children and have some…less than joyful surprises in them~"
"I'm guessing you're not talking about coal are you?" Bridgette asked in a worried tone.
"Maybe, maybe not. Why ruin the surprise~?" Chris asked with a grin that had everyone unnerved. "But not just that! After all, what's Christmas…without a little Grinch trying to ruin it for everyone~?"
"Heheheheh~" Suddenly the laugh of a familiar little gremlin was heard and jumping out of a nearby gift box was Lily, now wearing a costume that made her look like a miniature version of the Grinch. "So many presents to steal~!"
"Grinch Lily here will be throwing you for a loop as well," Chris explained as he gestured to the little Grinch who was grinning way too much about the roll she was given. "She'll be trying to steal any toys you may find, making your job a whole lot harder!"
"So be careful I don't get my greedy little mitts on anything, hehe," Lily laughed rather deviously as she rubbed her hands together. "And if any of you so much as speak one syllable about this I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN AND GUT YOU LIKE A FISH!!!"
"…" Everyone was silent as they slowly looked towards Lincoln after hearing that.
"…Oh come on, it's a classic!" Lincoln defended himself as he crossed his arms and looked away from everyone.
"Anyway…time to get to work!" Chris announced as he reached into a pocket and pulled out eight slips of paper and handed one to each of the contestants. They all took a second to look over their slips before they took running positions as they looked over the conveyor belts with all the presents on them. "On your mark…get set…"
BLOOOOOOOW!
Just then a loud work whistle went off to signify the start of the challenge with all the elves running off to begin their search for their present. "Ok let's see…little David wants a train set!" DJ read out his slip of paper, double checking it to make sure he read it right the first time. "Don't worry David, I got you brother!"
Once he reached the conveyor belts he began looking through the presents and all the name tags on them. "Ok let's see…Travis, Emily, Jordan, aha! David!" Seeing a present labeled with David's name, DJ quickly scooped it up. "Now let's see what's inside…"
DJ closed his eyes and braced himself in case this present had a 'surprise' inside of it. But as he slowly began to open it up. "Yoink!" The present was stolen right out of DJ's hand by Grinch Lily who began running away with it in hand. "Mine now!"
"Aw come on!" DJ let out as he watched Lily book it, moving fast despite her tiny little legs. "It's the season of giving!"
"Tommy wants a fire truck?" Ronnie Anne read her paper again before looking through the presents and trying to find any that were labeled Tommy. After going through a few boxes, Ronnie Anne found one and shook it a little bit to try and identify what was inside of it. But shaking it didn't really provide any information about what could be locked inside, so the Latina was forced to bite the bullet as she opened the box and tried to see what was inside. "Now let's see if-"
"Brbrbrbr!" And as soon as she opened the box, a familiar Platypus jumped out and latched onto Ronnie Anne's face.
"MMMMMMM!!!!" Ronnie Anne let out a muffled scream as she tried to remove the platypus from her before he could sting her.
"So Kara wants a stuffed bunny huh?" Dawn read her slip of paper out loud and couldn't help but giggle a bit. "Awww, that's adorable."
Heading up to the conveyor belt, Dawn looked through the gifts and tried to find any with Kara's name on them. "Found one!" Dawn cheered as she found a gift with Kara's name on it. Grabbing it and taking a moment to see if it was filled with negative energy or not, Dawn determined that it was safe to open and peaked inside only to see it was a teddy bear rather than a bunny she was looking for. "Oh well,"
Putting it back, Dawn again began to look through the different boxes.
"Charlie, Charlie, Charlie…" Lincoln repeated as his assignment was looking for a Barbie Doll for a kid named Charlie. So like everyone else Lincoln had to sort through all the boxes and find any that had Charlie's name on them. "Oh! Found one!" Standing back a bit, Lincoln opened it with thankfully no surprises jumping out allowing Lincoln to reach his hand into it and feel for whatever toy was inside. "Huh, deeper than it look-"
SNAP!
"OW!" Lincoln let out as he pulled his hand back with a mouse trap snapped on one of his fingers.
"Hah!" And laughing at his pain was none other than Geoff who was nearby and looking through the boxes as well, the party dude needing to find a race car for a boy named Johnny. "Serves ya right dude!" Geoff then opened up a box that he found and-
"HISSSSS!!!"
"AH!!!" Geoff screamed out as an angry cat leaped out of the box he opened with it quickly lunging and grabbing onto his face. "GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!!!"
"Hmph," Bridgette let out in response to Geoff's rather catty predicament. She gave Geoff a chance to be nicer but he wasn't taking it so she wasn't gonna help him. He wanted to get rid of that cat he could do it himself, right now she had a challenge to win. "Ok Sally wants a doll house…"
Looking through the presents in front of her, Bridgette eventually found one with Sally's name on it. But right as she was about to grab it, "Gimme!" A pair of green hands swiped it away before Bridgette could grab it with Lily running away with it. "Muhahahaha~"
"I should have seen that coming…" Bridgette sighed, cursing her luck a bit.
"Hmmmm…" Harold examined his presents with a careful eye. Harold's strategy was to gather up a bunch of gifts with the name he was assigned, with Harold getting a boy named Gene who wanted a superhero action figure which was something Harold could respect, and then check them one by one. So far Harold had found a few duds and one that had a toy in it, but it was the wrong toy, so he was ready to look through another box for one. "Let's see…
Tick…Tick…Tick…
"AH!" Harold yelled out as he heard ticking from the gift he held and quickly threw the box across the room. "It's a bomb!"
"Stand back!" DJ yelled out as everyone ducked for cover with DJ throwing himself over the present to shield everyone from the blast.
…
…
…
But after a while there was just…nothing. DJ quickly realized this and picked up the present and inspected what was inside. DJ then turned to Harold with a deadpan expression and revealed that the 'bomb' was just a clock. "Oh…whoops…" Harold grinned sheepishly at all the looks everyone was giving him.
"Man, why are you so jumpy?" DJ let out as he went over to the conveyor belt and managed to find another present with his kid's name on it. "It's not like anything here can actually hurt us." And as DJ opened the present…
BUZZZZ!!!!
He was quickly proven wrong as the present he opened up contained a beehive. "AAAAAAAHHHH!!!" DJ yelled out as he quickly ran away from the swarming insects. "NOT THE BEES!!!"
"Do you really think I'd make the challenge painless?" Chris asked in an offended tone. "To think I thought you all knew me by now,"
"Ooooo, poor DJ," Lindsay winced as she watched DJ run away from the swarm of bees. She'd help him if he really needed it but right now she had a present with little Jenny's name on it and she had to check and see if it was the water gun she needed. "Please don't contain anything…huh?"
But when Lindsay was about to open her present she saw it was gone, and the culprit couldn't be more obvious. "Clearance sale!" Lily grinned as she held the present she stole from Lindsay. "Everything must go!"
"Hey!" Lindsay shouted as she attempted to chase after Lily. "Come back here adorable little Grinch!"
And as the challenge went on, Chef eventually showed up and sat down next to Chris with the host looking towards his side kick and decided to spark some conversation. "Soooo, do anything for Christmas?" Chris asked, gaining Chef's attention. "Parties, traditions, or anything."
"Nah, don't do Christmas," Chef claimed, getting Chris to raise a brow. "Hanukkah,"
"Wait…you're Jewish?" Chris blinked in surprise about this. In all his time that he knew Chef he…never knew about that. "Really?"
"Yes really," Chef confirmed before dangerously narrowing his eyes at Chris. "That a problem?"
"No-No, not a problem," Chris immediately said with his hands raised, getting Chef to back down a little. "Just…I never knew,"
"You never ask about my personal life," Chef claimed as he crossed his arms.
"You never ask about mine either," Chris argued, getting Chef to roll his eyes.
And as they talked the challenge went on with the contestants finding more surprises ranging from stink bombs, to more angry animals, and even the occasional blinding flash of light. Toys were found, but none that they were looking for…assuming that Grinch Lily didn't steal it before they could take it.
But eventually…
"Oh…Oh!" Bridgette let out as she opened another gift that had Sally's name on it. Expecting another surprise Bridgette quickly braced herself…only to find exactly what she was looking for. A doll house. "I found it! Chris, I found it!"
"What?!" Ronnie Anne yelled out as she watched Bridgette run up to Chris with a present in hand. Looking forward, Ronnie Anne grabbed a random present and proceeded to chuck it towards Bridgette. "Not on my watch surfer girl!"
"Ah!" Bridgette let out as the box landed in front of her and opened up. Bridgette turned away, expecting a nasty surprise but after a few seconds of nothing Bridgette looked and saw a tiny wind up robot walking out of the box. "…Really?"
"Oh come on!" Ronnie Anne cursed as she watched Bridgette smugly walk over to Chris and handed him the present.
"And we have a winner!" Chris announced as he gestured to Bridgette with all the members of the super alliance cheering her on. Geoff would have normally done so too but with how Bridgette's been acting, and how she didn't help him when he needed it at all, he just couldn't find it in himself to do so. "The rest of you, don't expect a Holiday benefits package anytime soon!"
This earned a groan from the rest of the cast as Chris, Chef, Lily, and Edward all began to head out. "Now then, meet us by the big hill in 10," Chris stated before he spotted Ronnie Anne attempting to remove her fake elf ears. "And keep your costumes on!"
"Ugh!" The Latina let out as she slammed her fist against a present. "Ow!" Ronnie Anne quickly regretted that as a bunch of tacs now covered her hand.
Chris got a good laugh at that before he left with the others leaving the cast with a bit of time to catch their breath. "Well, we may not have won, but I did find this in one of the presents," Lincoln walked up to Dawn with a sly smirk on his face, pulling out some mistletoe he found and holding it above the two of them. "Merry Christmas~"
"Oh you~" Dawn gushed before the two locked lips.
Geoff watched this with a glare before noticing a large pile of presents that was stacked next to the two of them. "Whoops~" With a cheeky grin on his face Geoff kicked down the pile causing it to fall on the couple. Geoff chuckled to himself at this at first…until karma immediately hit him as the cat from earlier lunged at him from the pile. "AAAAHHH!! THE CAT'S BACK!! AAAAHHH!!!"
Meanwhile Ronnie Anne watched the whole thing with a smirk.
CONFESSIONAL – Ronnie Anne
"It's all falling into place~" Ronnie Anne laughed with an evil smirk.
Later on, everyone again had met up with Chris and Chef at the bottom of the film lot's giant hill with Chef still hooked up to the sleigh Chris was sitting in and continuing to not look too happy about it. "Hope those bells still have some jingle in them contestants because it's time for the 2ndpart of the challenge," Chris announced before reaching into his sack and pulling out a present. "But first, Merry Christmas Bridgette!"
"Oh, thanks," Bridgette smiled as she caught the gift Chris tossed her way. She suspected it was the advantage she won for winning the first part of the challenge. Opening it up, Bridgette rose her brow as she pulled out a pair of. "Snowshoes?"
"Trust me, you're gonna need em! Now then, Chefdolph," Chris then snapped his fingers making Chef grunt as Chef took smaller presents out of the bag and proceeded to toss one to each contestant. "Each one of these presents contains a snowglobe. You'll need to deliver them to the destination. If the snow globe is cracked in any way you're disqualified!"
"And where exactly do we deliver these?" Ronnie Anne asked as she took out the snow globe to see that it had a mini Santa Chris inside of it.
"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight up there~" Chris grinned as he pointed to the top of the hill…which was now covered in a thick layer of snow that made the journey to the top even more daunting than it originally was.
"…How'd you get that much fake snow to cover it?" Lincoln asked as everyone looked over the hill in shock.
"It's the magic of the Holidays baby!" Chris answered, getting a few deadpanned looks in response. "Whoever gets up the hill first wins immunity. Now Chefdolph, mu-" But right as Chris was about to whip Chef again, the buff cook caught it in his hands and began glaring at Chris causing the host to begin sweating nervously. "…Merry Christmas?"
"Happy. Hanukkah." Chef growled out before tossing the whip to the side, unhooking himself from the sleigh, and hopping into a nearby snowmobile and taking off without Chris.
"Hey! Come back! You can't leave Santa!" Chris shouted at the quickly retreating form of Chef. Quickly looking back, Chris told the contestants. "Uh, the challenge will start when you see a flare shoot up from the top! Good luck! Chef! CHEF!!!"
And they all watched as Chris ran up the hill in pursuit of his sidekick. "…Chef's Jewish?" Geoff asked with a confused look, getting shrugs from everyone except Dawn and DJ.
The contestants were stuck at the starting line for quite a bit, with Bridgette having put on her snowshoes. They all kept their eyes on the top of the hill waiting for the flare that Chris said was coming. "Hey look!" DJ yelled out as he pointed to the top of the hill after seeing something glowing brightly shoot out towards the sky. "There it is! The flare!"
"That means it's go time!" Lindsay yelled as she was quick to take off with everyone following behind. But as they actually reached the hill they were able to feel for themselves just how deep the fake snow was as their feet instantly sunk into it. "Ugh! It's…hard to move!"
"Hey, this is a challenge after all…" Lincoln grunted as he tried to push forward despite how thick the fake snow was. He's dealt with his fair share of rough snowy terrain and he was determined to push through it in order to try and win. He had to stop Ronnie Anne from winning invincibility again. "And wouldn't surprise me if there are surprises waiting in the snow somewhere,"
"We can't have that slowing us down," DJ stated firmly as he managed to head up the hill better than most. The brick house's strength pulled through for him as he pushed his way through the thick and large piles of fake snow. He had to both stop Ronnie Anne from winning invincibility again as well as prove to Chef he can win all by himself and dag gone it he was gonna do it! "Just push through man! You can do it!"
"Good luck you guys!" But of course the one that had the easiest time going through the snow was Bridgette. Her win from earlier was truly paying off as the snowshoes Chris provided her kept her feet from sinking in the snow allowing her to easily run up the snow and get a huge lead on everyone else. "I'm going up ahead!"
"Good luck Bridgette!" Dawn yelled out to the surfer girl while struggling to move through the snow herself. Sure her aura skills made her be able to fight off the hot and cold, but they didn't help her out regarding crossing rough terrain for this. She had to rely on her physical abilities for this for the most part. "Everyone, Lincoln's right about there being hidden traps hidden in the snow. I can sense negative energy in certain spots."
"Like what?" Harold asked as he took a step forward and-
BOOM!!!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" Suddenly an explosion went off sending Harold screaming and flying into the sky. Everyone nearby stopped and watched in shock as Harold eventually landed back on the ground, with it thankfully being a soft landing due to all the fake snow. "…Mines…that's what…"
"Holy crap…" Lincoln let out as he anxiously looked around the area, a bit worried about taking a single step forward. "Harold, is your snow globe ok?"
Harold, who was holding the box containing his snow globe close to his chest the entire time, took a quick look inside and thankfully despite the explosion and the fall his snow globe was still perfectly intact. "Yes! All good over here!" Harold pumped a fist in relief as he managed to stand back up. "Come on! We can't worry about each step we take! We just have to keep going forward and hope for the best!"
"Can't argue with that," Lincoln nodded and although still a bit reluctant, began moving forward. Harold was right, if they were worried about every little step they took then they would never reach the top. "Ok! Let's hit it into overtime!"
"Now we're talking!" Lindsay grinned as she did her best to push through the snow as well and make her way to the top.
"Grrrrr…" Ronnie Anne growled as she watched everyone quickly get ahead of her. She couldn't allow this…she can't! She could tell everyone was motivated to defeat her specifically, and that was pushing them to fight through harder than ever before. And with the surfer girl sporting snowshoes, it was likely she was going to get to the top first unless something slows her down greatly. "I can't…let them win! I can't let them win!"
She was so close…she was in the final eight…she couldn't just let them get rid of her now! She's gone through too much just to lose right now!!!
"Come on dudette!" Calling out to her from above was Geoff, the one single ally she had at this point in the game. Geoff was encouraging her to continue forward and keep fighting. "You can't just let them win or they'll vote you off! You gotta keep going!"
"Grrrrr!" Growling more ferociously, her face going red in the process, Ronnie Anne forced herself to put it into double time as she stomped her way through the deep fake snow.
And so the challenge progressed, things only grew more chaotic the further up people went. Mines became more plentiful and more and more explosions went off with the contestants desperate to protect their snow globes as they held it close to them, and amongst all the chaos everyone found themselves separated from everyone else. Unfortunately for the contestants they would soon find out that the mines weren't the only things that would be slowing them down.
"Phew…halfway there DJ," DJ panted as he continued to push through the snow, sweat stains visible on various parts of his elf outfit, a testament to how much he was pushing himself for this challenge. Despite the fatigue he was feeling though, DJ kept pushing himself to go further. He had to win this, he just had to. "You can do this DJ, you…can…do this!"
Gruuuunt…
"Huh?" DJ blinked a few times as he looked around after hearing some kind of loud caveman-like grunt from nearby. Looking around, DJ soon gasped in horror as he saw none other than Sasquatchanakwa roaming around the snowy hill. "Oh crap!"
Quick to try and avoid being seen by the yeti, DJ ducked into the snow to escape the creature's field of vision. But just because DJ couldn't be seen…doesn't mean he couldn't be sniffed out. As Sasquatchanakwa roamed around, the yeti took a deep breath through the nose and cringe in disgust at smelling some rather rank BO. Taking a second to smell his own pits to confirm that it wasn't him, the yeti sniffed around a bit before digging through the snow and pulling out a terrified DJ. Giving the brick house a quick sniff the yeti recoiled in disgust and quickly found that he was the source of the odor.
"Hehe…s-sorry…" DJ let out a squeaky apology as the Yeti held him up by his collar. "Got any deodorant a brother could borrow…?"
Sasquatchanakwa merely growled in response.
He in fact, did not have any DJ could borrow.
"Ah crap, where did everyone go?" Lincoln put a hand above his eyes as he observed the area around him, looking for wherever anyone else could be. As they progressed up the hill they ended up finding an area where Chris had just buried a ton of mines. As soon as they started walking around explosion after explosion went off causing their entire alliance group to be separate. And now Lincoln couldn't even see anyone else around. "Well…hope they'll be alright, who knows what else Chris left around the place…"
Grrrrr…
Lincoln violently flinched at that sound. Turning around…he soon found another one of these surprises as he turned around to find a bear approaching him and growling rather viciously. "Um…n-nice bear…" Lincoln tried to say quietly as he backed away from the bear, really wishing that Dawn was around him right now. But she wasn't and the bear kept approaching him while growling. "…I don't suppose…there's a chance you're Izzy right?"
"ROOOOOOOOOOOAR!!!!" The bear's roar was all the confirmation Lincoln needed.
"….Didn't think so…" Lincoln let out before running for his life. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
CONFESSIONAL – Lincoln
"I swear Chris likes bears WAY too much!" Lincoln angrily let out.
TOP OF THE HILL
Currently at the top of the hill, waiting for the contestants was Chris, Chef, Lily, and Edward. The four of them were taking the time that the contestants were using to go up the hill to rest and relax with a nice cup of hot cocoa with Chris and Chef also having tablets they were using to observe all the contestants as they went up the hill. "Aaaaah, now this is the life," Chris sighed out as he raised a mug. "Good drinks, good company, and watching teens scramble around."
"Amen brother," Chef nodded in agreement as he lifted up his mug too and clanged it against Chris' mug, the buff cook having calmed down after enjoying some hot cocoa. "It's the simpler things in life that bring you joy,"
"Like marshmallows!" Lily grinned as she dumped a few into her own mug.
"Brbrbr!" Edward let out with his mouth completely stuffed full of them.
"Huff…Huff…" The four then heard some heavy panting and looked to see Bridgette making her way to the top of the mountain with the surfer girl soon collapsing as she reached the top. "I…did…it!"
Chris got up from his chair and went over to the blond and took her box from her and observed the snowglobe inside and saw that it was perfectly intact. "Hmmm, indeed you did Bridgette!" Chris grinned as he tossed the snowglobe up and down in his hand. "Your snowglobe's a-ok and you're the first one here! So you win invincibility!"
"Yaaaay…" Bridgette tiredly let out as she raised one of her arms up. "Now what?"
"Now take a second to catch your breath and then join us for some hot cocoa!" Chris told her before taking a look at his tablet and the seven contestants who were still hiking up the mountain. "Something tells me this is gonna be a long day,"
"Huff…Huff…phew…" Back with Lincoln, the white haired boy had managed to finally lose the bear. Running away from the bear had been especially hard due to the snow, but years of living in the Loud House have built up his reflexes and physical abilities and he managed to find a small ledge to shimmy through in order to escape and hide from the bear. "I think…I finally…lost him…"
After taking a couple moments to catch his breath, Lincoln was about to head out and continue upward…before he remembered he was on a small ledge. "O-Oh boy…" Looking forward, Lincoln saw it was a rather steep slope below him. If he fell off, it would likely be game over for him with him both tumbling down to the bottom along with the likely possibility that his snow globe would break. "Ok…slow and steady wins the race…"
Doing this best to slow down his breathing, Lincoln slowly began shimmying to the other side to get off the ledge and back to the main hill.
Slip!
"W-Woah!" But unfortunately for Lincoln he was unable to hold his footing for long as he ended up slipping off the edge. Lincoln closed his eyes, bracing for the incoming fall. But before he fell down too far he felt someone grab his hand and catch him before he could tumble down. "Wow! Oh man…thanks for that-"
But Lincoln cut himself off when he looked up and saw who saved him.
Geoff.
Lincoln flinched as the party dude held him in a tight grip, Geoff glaring down hard at the Loud boy. "G-Geoff…" Lincoln stuttered a bit as he addressed Geoff, but the party dude was silent as he continued glaring down at Lincoln. "H-Hey man…I know things haven't been good between us but can you please help me up?"
"…." But Geoff continued to remain silent.
"…T-This isn't funny dude please…" Lincoln continued to try and plead with Geoff.
"…Happy Holiday's dude," And with that…Geoff let go. Releasing Lincoln's hand and allowing the white head to fall. Time seemed to freeze for Lincoln at that moment as he looked up at Geoff in complete shock, only able to see the party dude's angry face.
The face of someone he once called a friend.
.
.
.
.
CRACK!
Giving a satisfied nod, Geoff then continued to go up himself.
Back at the top of the hill, as time went on more and more contestants began showing up. After Bridgette was DJ who managed to escape the Yeti, after him Dawn followed with her hitching a ride on a bear she found, Harold and Lindsay showed up together with the two managing to find each other and helped each other to get up the hill. After them Ronnie Anne arrived and was not happy in the slightest after seeing she was the 6th to make it up the mountain.
"I…I made it dudes…" And finally being lucky number 7 to show up was Geoff, who panted heavily as he got to the top of the hill. His little…'detour' cost him some time but at least he was able to ensure that Lincoln was disqualified. "I did it!"
"Wait, where's Lincoln?" Dawn asked in a concerned tone with everyone else soon growing worried, though Geoff had a smug smile as she asked that.
"About that," Chris spoke up as he looked over his tablet. "Our resident snow head took a bit of a tumble and broke his gift. Since no one else broke theirs he's in last place."
"Well that's a bummer," Bridgette lowered her head a bit before smiling smugly at Ronnie Anne. "But hey, at least we can tell him Ronnie Anne isn't immune this week."
Before Ronnie Anne could show any signs of worrying about that, Chris spoke up again with a sly grin on his face. "Yeah…about that," Chris' words got everyone looking at him with raised brows. "Being an elf in Santa's Workshop means you're holding a child's happiness in your very hands. And if you fall short, someone is going to have a miserable Christmas. So, Santa can't have elves like that in his workshop."
It took a second for everyone to register what Chris said, but soon all the members of the super alliance gained horrified looks. Especially Dawn. "...No…." Dawn whispered out. That can only mean one thing…
"Sorry to say, but this was a Sudden Death round," Chris revealed, dropping the hammer down on everyone.
"W-Wait…that means…" Harold stuttered out.
"Yeeeep!" Chris nodded his head with his usual grin. "Lincoln is out!"
"Haha…HAHAHAHAHA!" And everything was silent until Ronnie Anne began laughing harder than anyone's ever heard her laugh before. The Latina was ecstatic right now, Lincoln was actually out! He was out of the game! "YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!!!"
Everyone ignored Ronnie Anne's gloat fest as they were processing the information given to them. Lincoln was out…he got Sudden Deathed. "But-But-But…" Dawn continued stuttering, the aura reader having trouble accepting this. All the while Geoff looked away from everyone. "How?!"
"Oh I don't know, why don't you ask Geoff here?" Chris suggested with a sly grin as he pointed a thumb to Geoff. The party dude flinched as Chris diverted all attention his way. "I think he's got a stocking full of coal in his future~"
"No…" DJ muttered as he shook his head. He knew Geoff hasn't been…the best guy in the world lately…but to outright do something to cause Lincoln's elimination...DJ just couldn't believe it. "G-Geoff would never…right?"
"Geoff…" Geoff violently flinched again as he heard Bridgette speak up. Her tone was quiet…but he could feel the pure raw rage bubbling underneath it. Something he's never experienced before. Now Geoff felt something building up within him…guilt? Shame? He couldn't tell. "Geoff. Look at me. Now!"
"Bridge…I swear I-" Geoff tried to say, but when he turned around to face his girlfriend he cut himself off. Bridgette was giving him a dark look filled with murderous intent, something he could never have previously imagined appearing on his girlfriend's face in the past.
"You…You!!!" Dawn yelled out, fully showing her anger as she pointed at the party dude. She knew the whole thing now.
"What'd he do Dawn?" Harold asked while glaring at Geoff. "Tell us!"
"He threw Lincoln off the cliff!" Dawn announced for everyone to hear, causing everyone to gasp in response as Geoff began backing away from them. "He's the reason Lincoln was eliminated!"
"Oh this is too rich~" Ronnie Anne let out as she watched the whole thing with delight.
"But…why would you do that?" Lindsay let out before she too began glaring at Geoff and began feeling anger towards the party dude. "How could you do that?!"
"I-I don't know…" Geoff stuttered out, that horrible feeling in his gut growing worse.
"Geoff," Bridgette growled out, her anger coming out more and more. "Answer the question!"
"A-Alright! A-Alright!" Geoff raised his hands as he complied with the demands. "I was worried he and Dawn would take you away from me! You've been spending so much time with him and he has been such a jerk lately!"
"WHAT?!" Dawn shouted out as she began stomping towards Geoff, prompting Lindsay and Harold to begin holding her back. Meanwhile as they watched the entire thing, Chef walked up to Chris and offered him some popcorn with the host happily accepting. "THE ONLY JERK HERE HAS BEEN YOU!!!"
"So…you still actually believe I would cheat on you…" Bridgette let out as she turned her back to Geoff. "Even after everything I told you…you just didn't trust me…"
"Bridgette listen I-"
SMACK!!!!
Geoff and everyone else fell silent as the sound of a hard slap echoed throughout the area. Geoff felt an awful stinging pain as Bridgette's hand collided with his face hard enough to leave a visible hand print immediately. "Shut. Up!" Bridgette growled out at Geoff through her teeth, the party dude unable to make a single sound. "To think you'd believe I'd cheat on you…"
"Oh I don't know~" Not passing the chance to rub salt in the wound, Ronnie Anne couldn't help but approach with a mocking smirk. "You have been spending a lot of time with Lame-O late-"
CRUNCH!!!
"MMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!" Ronnie Anne was cut off as Bridgette's fist suddenly collided with her nose, following with an audible cracking sound. Ronnie Anne soon fell to the ground as she cradled her now broken nose in both her hands while squirming around in pain. "MMMMMMMMMMM!!!!"
"STAY! OUT! OF! THIS!" Bridgette yelled down at Ronnie Anne, her fist still tightly clenched.
"Wowowowowowow!" DJ let out as he got in between Bridgette and Ronnie Anne. He was pissed too but they shouldn't resort to violence. "Let's calm down! This is no way to handle this!"
And all the while this was happening, Dawn raced down the mountain to go check on Lincoln. "Wow, the Christmas spirit is truly something special," Chris chuckled as he took a bite of popcorn.
"Luckily for her there's plenty of ice around hehehe," Chef chuckled as he pointed down at Ronnie Anne who was still on the ground in pain.
"That's true, don't worry Ronnie Anne your broken nose will be fine, and congratulations on letting a second blond kick your butt. Now we just need Lindsay to take a crack at her!" Chris said with a mocking tone and laugh, making Ronnie Anne flip them the bird. "Merry Christmas to you too!"
"Lincoln! Lincoln!" Dawn shouted her boyfriend's name after reaching the bottom of the hill. Luckily she was able to find him quickly and saw him…making snow angels on the ground. "Are you…alright?"
"Yeeeeah I'm good," Lincoln reassured his girlfriend as Dawn sat down next to him. "Was like landing on a pillow actually"
"Phew…thank you Mother Earth…" Dawn said with a sigh of relief. But now came time to tell Lincoln the bad news…something she wasn't ready for. "Lincoln…"
"Sudden Death right?" Lincoln could immediately guess what was going on. Given the conditions for disqualification Lincoln had a feeling that breaking the snowglobe was grounds for being instantly eliminated. And Dawn sadly nodding at him confirmed it. "Yep, figured that was the case. Oh well."
"You're not…upset…" Dawn blinked a few times at Lincoln's tone. Even his aura. He didn't seem sad or angry at all.
"A little bit, I mean it was a million bucks after all," Lincoln shrugged as he sat himself back up. "But not as much as I thought I would actually be."
"Really?" Dawn couldn't help but blink a bit in surprise.
"Yeah, really, I'm cool," Lincoln reassured his girlfriend. "I mean does it blow? A bit but what's getting mopey gonna do for anyone?"
"…Huh…" Dawn couldn't help but let out. But soon a smile once again graced her face as she turned to Lincoln again. "You've grown a lot in such a short time,"
"Heh, all thanks to you," Lincoln told her, causing Dawn to blush a bit.
"You did most of the work," Dawn assured him as she brushed a bit of his hair. "So it's likely they're going to take you away once they get here,"
"Well…let's have some fun before that then," Lincoln suggested with a bit of a grin.
"And what do you-"
SPLAT!
And Dawn was met with a snowball to the head.
"Got ya~" Lincoln grinned before he began retreating.
"…Oh it's on mister~!" Dawn giggled before standing up and making her own snowball.
"Don't start without me!" And running down to join them was Harold, DJ, and Lindsay. Ronnie Anne and Geoff were still at the top of the hill by themselves and Bridgette just wasn't in the mood for a snowball fight after everything and was heading back to the trailers. "I should warn you, I'm like a ninja in the snow!" Harold bragged as he began making his own snowball.
"Just you wait brother!" DJ grinned as he got to work on making a big snowball. "I tend to go bigger the better!"
"Oh I love snowball fights!" Lindsay grinned as she scooped up some snow to make a snowball…only to accidentally make a snowcube. "Oh this always happens…"
And watching the whole thing was Chris and Chef, the two holding fresh mugs of cocoa. "Should we get the lamosine now?" Chef asked Chris after taking a sip of his drink.
"Hmmmm, ah let em have fun for a few hours" Chris waved it off, deciding to let the contestants have some fun while the sun was still out. "It's Christmas."
"You know it's not actually Christmas right man?" Chef raised a brow at Chris.
"Don't kill the mood Chef. Don't kill the mood."
THAT NIGHT
The sun had now fallen on the film lot and it was time for Lincoln to head down the walk of shame and take the lamosine off the set of Total Drama Action.
"Welp, guess this is it," Lincoln smiled as he turned around and saw all of his friends behind him, ready to give him a proper goodbye. "Good luck guys, I'll be cheering you all on,"
"Thanks man," Harold said as he walked up to Lincoln, the two sharing a fist bump. "Sorry you got the boot."
"That's just how the game is played," Lincoln shrugged, still taking his loss with nothing but grace. "But hey, I know you guys are gonna kick major butt out there,"
"Dang right we will," DJ reassured Lincoln, raising a determined fist. "You can count on us,"
"I promise, won't be long before Ronnie Anne and Geoff are riding this thing outta here!" Lindsay promised as she walked up to Lincoln and shared a quick hug with him. "Count on it!"
Lincoln nodded at Lindsay before looking towards Bridgette, and immediately frowning at seeing the state she was in. It was obvious she was completely heart broken by what Geoff had done. "Bridgette…" Lincoln slowly began as he walked up to the surfer girl. "I am so sorry about this…"
"…It's not your fault…" Bridgette told Lincoln, a fire ignited in the blond's eye. "It's Geoff's…and he's gonna pay…" Hearing this, Lincoln opened his arms up for a hug with Bridgette happily accepting it.
After they held onto each other for a few moments, the two separated with Lincoln then moving to the last and most important of them. Dawn, and in her arms was a sad looking Edward. "Hey, cheer up buddy," Lincoln told the platypus as he raised his bill. "I'm counting on you to look out for everyone here ok?"
"Brbrbr…" Edward sadly let out, but nodded his head nonetheless.
"And Dawn…" Lincoln told his girlfriend, looking her in the eye and seeing how tough this was for her. "Stay strong ok? I know you got this,"
"…Ok," Dawn managed to let out before the two connected their lips, sharing a deep kiss for a few seconds before Lincoln separated.
But right as Lincoln was about to enter the lamosine, "Wait for me!" Running up to him with a few bags in her arms was Lily, who ended up joining Lincoln in the lamosine. "I'm going with you!"
"Really?" Lincoln asked as he closed the door to the lamosine. "Are you sure?"
"Uh-huh! I came here to spend time with you after all! So you're stuck with me!" Lily told him before sticking her head out of the window. "Bye everyone! It's been fun! Bye uncle Chris! Bye uncle Chef!"
And before anyone could ask about all that the lamosine drove off. The contestants then looked towards Chef and Chris, who were watching the whole time, as they stared silently at the scene…before they held onto each other and began crying. "BWAHAHAHAHA!" The host and his sidekick cried out in unison.
In the lamosine, as they were heading towards their destination Lily took the opportunity to reach into one of the bags she brought. "Lincoln look!" Lily then pulled out a Gilded Chris award, making Lincoln's eyes widen. "I took this before I left!"
"Lily, did you take that from Chris' trailer?" Lincoln asked her skeptically.
"It's chocolate~" Lily stated as she waved it in front of him.
"…Ok let's split it," Lincoln nodded as Lily began uncovering it.
Back at the trailers, Dawn and Lindsay approached Bridgette from both sides and put a supportive hand on her shoulders. The surfer girl smiled at this as the three of them entered the girl's trailer together. After they went in, Ronnie Anne walked up to the trailer with her nose freshly patched up after spending some time in the infirmary. But as she went to go into the trailer. "H-Hey!" Ronnie Anne let out as she was unable to open the door. "Open up! You can't just lock me out!"
"Come on dudes!" And Geoff was in a similar state, as soon as DJ and Harold entered the trailer they locked the door so Geoff couldn't come in. "This isn't funny!"
"Tensions have never been higher here," And Chris then walked in front of the camera to begin the outro. "The love is gone and the hate is on! So much for the season of good will! What kind of things will happen to our cast next? Has Geoff royally screwed his love life? And who will injure Ronnie Anne next? Find out next time on Total…Drama…Action!"
CONFESSIONAL – Chris
"To those who think I'm actually upset about Lily leaving, pfft, yeah right! I was just playing it up ya know? For the drama! I'm not gonna miss that spoiled little brat…or the way she smiles at me when I get up in the morning…" But as Chris went on, his face fell as it became harder to deny his feelings. "Or how I can hang out with her when Chef's busy…or-or…how she's genuinely nice to me…I-I'm not…"
