              “Last time on Total Deviant Art Action...” Lena stood in front of the film lot for the recap. “Twelve campers from Total Deviant Art Island showed up on this abandoned film lot ready for another shot at a million dollars. Not only that, but twelve new players from all different walks of life showed up, equally ready to kick some tail! We gave our castmates a tour of their new home, and even split them up into two teams: Killer Disney, and Rabid Dreamworks. Our cast is already starting to make new friends... and enemies. What will their first challenge be? Who will prove themselves? Who will prove to be failures? And who will be the first of the cast the get voted out? The answers to all these questions will come to you, right here, on Total! Deviant Art! ACTION!”

It was a sunny day at the abandoned film lot. Some of the cast seemed more happy to be awake than others, but all were glad to be served breakfast. The twenty-four competitors were all in the dining tent, some getting in line to get served, others already served and eating, and still others already finished and just socialising. At the front of the line, Meredith started to get impatient with Chef DJ.

          “What the *bleep* is this crap supposed to be?!” Meredith exclaimed as she looked at her plate.

          “Chocolate chip oatmeal pancakes,” DJ replied. “I made ‘em from scratch. Just add a bit of love, and Mama’s Spice, and..."

          “I don’t care what the *bleep* it is, I just want it out of my face!” Meredith threw her plate at DJ, covering his face with residual chocolate and butter.

          “Cool...” Nick said from behind Meredith in the line.

          “You think so, huh Nick?” Meredith smiled.

          “I think you and I are gonna get along just fine...” Nick snickered.

          “Gahhh! Could you two move it? I’m hungry here!” Zach, who was behind Nick, started poking Nick in the back.

          “But they’re like, the cutest shipping ever!” Gabby, who was behind Zach, pointed out. “Riiiiight, Curly?”

          “...What...?” Curly, who was behind Gabby, was busy staring into the eyes of Joey, who was behind Curly.

Meanwhile, at the Killer Disney table, a bit of friendly competition had gone down.

          “Hey, Allen, I bet I could beat you in arm wrestling,” Alex bet.

          “Eh. Maybe,” Allen shrugged.

          “Yeah, well I bet I could beat you in arm wrestling,” Chris bet Alex.

          “You’re on, dude!” Alex and Chris begun arm wrestling, and it seemed to be at a stalemate. “Come on, dude, stop goin’ easy! I want a challenge, man!”

          “I’m not going easy!” Chris retorted. “I mean... you wish I would go easy on you!”

          “Hey, Juliette, you’re strong, why don’t you take me on?” Alex asked.

          “Because I know for a fact I can beat you with both arms tied around my back,” Juliette replied in a deadpan tone.

          “Haha. You’re really funny, Juliette,” Jonah complimented.

          “Oh, stop,” Juliette smiled in mock bashfulness.

            “Alex, are you making dangerous bets again?” Lily asked as she joined the table.

            “Naw, man. It’s just arm wrestling,” Alex assured her.

            “Well, I still don’t want to risk a teammate breaking a hand or something. You’d better stop.”

            “Look, Lily, right?” Liam asked. “I’m Liam. I realize you’re just looking out for the team and everything, but you need to calm down. Nothing’s going to happen.”

            “I need to calm down?! Look what Alex is doing!”

            Alex was stabbing the spaces between his fingers with a knife.

            Liam set Lily aside from the rest of the team.

            “Look, I realize you’re new, and you’re trying to find your place on the team, but it’s okay. Juliette and I made it pretty far last time, so we know what we’re doing. I think if you want to stay in the game, you should just lay low for a while, okay?”

-|-|-|-Confessional-|-|-|-

          “Okay, where do I even begin?” Lily asked. “First of all, I’m not new! I was just voted off crazy early in the last season! In fact, I was on Liam’s team! Secondly, I’m not trying to lead the team! I’m trying to keep Alex from killing himself. Thirdly, where does he get off telling me what to do? Just because he won last season doesn’t mean he can tell me what to do!”

-|-|-End Confessional-|-|-

Meanwhile, at the Dreamworks table, a different kind of conversation was going on.

            “Hey, guys,” Joey sat down at the table and greeted his teammates.

            “Hey, Joey,” John greeted as he played a drum beat on the table with his utensils.

            “Hey, guys,” Curly greeted her teammates.

            “Hola, Curly,” Chase greeted.

            “…Hey,” Conor greeted weakly.

            “So,” Curly nudged Conor. “Has anyone caught your eye?”

            “That’s none of your business!” Conor replied defensively.

            “Okay, wow. Calm down,” Curly sat down next to Andrew and Sienna.

-|-|-|-Confessional-|-|-|-

          “I’m not gonna lie, I have kind of a thing for Meredith,” Conor admitted. “But I can’t tell Curly that! I just got into this game, and I’m not gonna be the laughingstock of my team. Not this early on, at least.”

-|-|-End Confessional-|-|-

       “I mean, I thought Conor looked nice, but that was just so... rude,” Curly vented.

“It’s alright.” Joey put his hand on Curly’s shoulder.

            “As a rule, people are never as they seem,” Andrew explained. “Take Meredith, for example. Sure, she seems nice enough, but just when it looks like you are about to have it all, she will just take it from you!”

            “…Are we thinking of the same Meredith?” Sienna asked. “Because the Meredith on our team seems kinda scary.”

            “Well... um... you know what I mean!” Andrew stuttered.

-|-|-|-Confessional-|-|-|-

          “During the TDAI Reunion, both Curly and Meredith took a golden ticket which was rightfully mine,” Andrew reminded the audience. “Luckily, both of them ended up on my team, so voting them out should not be a problem.”

-|-|-|-Confessional-|-|-|-

            “It’s funny that Andrew should tell me of all people not to trust anyone,” Sienna scoffed. “Because I’m probably gonna stab him in the back as soon as the game allows me. But I’ll let the big dumb jock think I’m on his side. For now.”

-|-|-End Confessional-|-|-

          “Alright, campers, it’s time for your first challenge!” Lena announced as she entered the tent.

          “Ooh! What’s the theme gonna be?” Hollywood asked excitedly. “High School?”

          “Sports?” Julia guessed.

          “Romance?” Chase guessed. Julia and Conor glanced at him weirdly. “What?”

          “Nope! It’s Dodgeball!” Lena announced.

          “…Wait a minute! That’s not a movie genre!” Chris realized.

          “Brilliant,” Emily complimented sarcastically.

          “No, Chris, it isn’t a movie genre,” Lena confirmed. “Because this season, the challenges won’t be based on movie genres. Instead, they’ll be based on individual movies!”

          “How come?” Nicole asked.

          “Well, can you come up with twenty-four different movie genres?” Lena asked.

          “Comedy, Drama, Romance, Musical…” Dina listed.

          “It was a rhetorical question, Dina. Anyway, follow me to the first part of your challenge!”

-|-|-|-Confessional-|-|-|-

          “Where I’m from, they don’t play dodgeball,” Margot explained. “I hope this doesn’t hurt my team too badly.”

-|-|-|-Confessional-|-|-|-

          “I’m more of a love and peace guy myself, but I’m willing to play with some balls to win a challenge,” Liam smiled. He suddenly realized what he’d just said.

-|-|-End Confessional-|-|-

        “Welcome, cast, to the TDAA film lot parking lot!” Lena announced.

        “Why are we here?” Nicole asked.

        “I’m glad you asked, Nicole. The first part of the challenge is... to wash cars!”
        “I thought this was a dodgeball challenge. This is not Karate Kid,” Andrew pointed out.

“No, but remember, this is based off the movie called ‘Dodgeball’. There will be
three challenges based on different parts of the movie. And in the first act of
‘Dodgeball’, the guys start a car wash to earn money for their gym.”

“She’s not lying. That is part of the movie,” Conor affirmed.

“Yup. For this part of the challenge, the two teams will race to see who can wash
twenty cars the fastest. The team who thoroughly cleans twenty cars first will earn an advantage in the next part of the challenge!”

"Twenty cars?!" Joey exclaimed. "That's insane!"

"Oh, come on, Joey. When has this game ever been easy?" Lena reminded scoffingly.

“Well, I managed to make it pretty far last time...” Joey muttered.

“Whatever! Michael and Julian will judge how clean the cars are, so no screwing around.  But with that, your challenge starts... NOW!”

“Got any ideas?” Emily asked no one in particular.

“What do you mean?” Juliette asked.

“Well, we have to have some kind of plan as to what we’re doing,” Emily reminded her. “It’s not like we can just do whatever we want. That’d be unwise.”

“Well, what do you propose we do, almighty leader?” Zach jeered.

“Let’s have each player choose a car to wash,” Jonah proposed. “Then, when someone’s done, they can help one of their teammates. Kind of like a snowball effect.”

“Ooh, I like it!” Hollywood smiled. “Let’s get to work!”

Meanwhile, Rabid Dreamworks was having a huddle of their own.

“Alright, so my idea was to have three or four members of our team each focus on a car,” Joey brought up. “I think that’s the perfect number of people so that we can clean the cars quickly and efficiently.”

“Hey, Lena never said it had to be efficient,” Nick brought up.

“She did say we had to clean them, so they should at least be considered ‘clean’,” Curly told him. “Anyway, I like Joey’s idea. All in favor?”

Everyone but Nick and Meredith raised their hands.

“Alright! Let’s do this!” John rallied.

The Dreamworks started washing,with three members on each car. Andrew, Sienna, and Dina worked on one car, Nick, Conor, and Meredith worked on another, Chase, Julia, and John worked on a third, and Margot, Curly, and Joey worked on yet another. They managed to work quickly along with making each car thoroughly clean.

Actually, I lied earlier. When I said that Nick, Conor, and Meredith were all washing the same car, the truth is that Conor was washing the car while Nick and Meredith only pretended to.

“Ughhhh, this is so gay!” Nick complained.

“I know! Who said Joey could be the leader?!” Meredith asked. “I’m a way better leader than he is!”

“Well, you were, what, the second person voted off your team last time?” Nick asked.

“That’s totally irrelevant! My old team was a bunch of *bleep*s! They couldn’t handle real leadership!”

“To be fair, you-” Conor brought up.

“No one said you could talk, ginger!” Meredith snapped. Conor started minding his own business and resumed washing the car.

Meanwhile, Killer Disney were somewhat struggling because,while they were able to wash more cars,it took longer to clean them, especially considering Zach,Jonah,and Allen weren’t necessarily pulling their weight. In fact, Jonah wasn’t even working on his own car - he was chatting with Juliette.

“So, how’ve you been?” Jonah asked casually. “I mean, it’s been a while, and I really missed you.”

“Shouldn’t you be working on the challenge?” Juliette asked. “I only ask for your own good.”

“Naw, I’m totally working on the challenge,” Jonah grabbed a wet rag and started wiping the hood of Juliette’s car.

“Do you not have any soap?” Juliette asked. “You can borrow some of mine.”

“I need soap?” Jonah asked.

-|-|-|-Confessional-|-|-|-

“In retrospect, there were about twenty other things I could have said that would make me look less stupid,” Jonah confessed. “Things like ‘Hey, everyone, please vote me off,’ or ‘I’m a stupid doo-doo head’!”

-|-|-End Confessional-|-|-

Suddenly Jonah became soaked with water. He turned around to see Julian holding a bucket over Jonah’s head.

“I want to see my face in the hood of this car, do you understand?” Julian asked. “Now, you’d better get back to work! I can pull some strings, you know!”

“When did you become Mr. Bossy Panties?” Juliette asked.

“Hey, that’s no way to treat the staff of this show!”

“No, you’re right. They treat the staff of this show far worse. You want me to show you?!”

“No, that’s okay,” Julian chuckled nervously. “I’ll just be... over there.” Julian ran off.

Meanwhile, Zach and Allen were having a nice chat by one of the cars they were supposed to be washing.

“Gah, this is so stupid!” Zach complained. “I signed up for this show to get in on the action, not to do somebody’s stupid chores!”

“Yup,” Allen agreed.

“Uh-oh. Here comes Liam,” Zach pointed out as Liam walked up to the two of them.

“Hey, guys. I realize not everyone has the same work ethic, but it’d be pretty cool if you guys chipped in and did your part,” Liam kindly told them.

“Whatever.” Allen shrugged and started cleaning the closest car.

“Thanks, dudes.” Liam smiled as he left the two of them.

“Hm... Liam has a point,” Zach thought aloud.

“He probably does,” Allen echoed.

“I mean, this isn’t action! The real action comes with the eliminations! Gah, I bet nothing beats the feeling of stabbing someone in the back and sending them home without them even knowing it! You feel me?”

“Alright, but what does that have to do with what Liam said?”

“He says we should work on this bit of pointlessness. I say we should form an alliance to take Liam out.”

“Cool.”

“Yeah! That’ll show Liam that TDAI doesn’t define TDAA. But we’re gonna need more than just the two of us. I’m thinking Lily and Nicole should join too. You in?”

“Sure.” Allen smiled.

Rabid Dreamworks were making great progress with each group (with the exception of Conor) on their second car. Their progress was slowing slightly,mainly due to John trying to converse with the other contestants and Margot staring at a boy on the other team.

“So, how are you guys liking the game so far?” John asked Chase and Julia.

“Eh. It’s cool,” Julia said simply.

“This first challenge is kinda extraño,” Chase replied. “I never expected to wash cars as part of Total Drama.”

“Yeah, it is kinda weird, isn’t it?” John agreed.

There was an awkward silence.

“I’ll just go get more rags...” John gestured to the refill station and left for it.

“Whew. To be honest, I’m a little glad he’s gone,” Chase admitted. “I can get a bit... shy.”

“Really?” Julia asked. “I mean, I understand. I’m admittedly not very social either.”

“Interesante. Would you like to be friends?”

Julia blushed.

-|-|-|-Confessional-|-|-|-

“I’m not usually much of a people person, but I always fall for the sweet, understanding guys,” Julia admitted. “Chase is a lot sweeter than he looks. I like that.”

-|-|-End Confessional-|-|-

Margot was not washing any cars along with her teammates. Margot was staring off to the other side of the parking lot, where a certain perverted TDAI veteran was drinking from the water hose in an attempt to be funny.

“Margot?” Joey got Margot’s attention. “Hey, could you help us out here? I think the other team is starting to catch up.”

“Oh! Okay!” Margot started casually running a wet rag over one of the windows while she looked back at Chris.

“Ooh! You like Chris, don’t you?” Curly asked.

“Is it that obvious?” Margot asked.

“Yes,” Dina remarked as she passed by with a newly refilled bucket of water.

Margot glared at Dina, then casually stuck her foot out far enough to trip Dina, but not so far that it looked intentional.

“Oh no! I’m so sorry!” Margot bent over to help Dina up. As she helped her teammate up, she whispered in her ear. “Chris is mine. Don’t forget that!”

“Excuse me?” Dina shot back.

“And get well soon!” Margot patted Dina on the shoulder before she resumed washing the car and watching Chris.

Meanwhile,The Disneys were making less progress,with Jonah and Juliette still chatting, Zach talking to Nicole,and Chris screwing around with the hose. Lily was making the least progress, mainly because of her violent OCD.

“You think that’s thorough enough?” Emily, who was washing the car next to Lily, asked. “You’ve been scrubbing that same spot for thirty minutes.”

“There’s a dent on it!” Lily replied. “I’m trying to scrub it out!”

“Now, I’m no expert, but I don’t think you can just scrub out a dent,” Emily told her.

“Willpower, my friend. Sheer willpower.”

“Aaaaand... time!” Lena announced. “The Rabid Dreamworks have completed their task first and have won Part One of the challenge, earning them an advantage in Part Two!”

“Yeah!” Conor exclaimed.

“Stop having fun,” Meredith ordered him. Conor hung his head.

“Alright, follow me to Part Two of the challenge!” Lena gestured as she walked off. The cast followed her.

-|-|-|-Confessional-|-|-|-

“Okay, like, when are we going to get to the dodgeball part?” Hollywood asked. “I mean, she said there’d be dodgeball, and I have a ton of energy I just need to... let out, you know! HYAH!” Hollywood punched the air, which resulted in her accidentally hitting a stage light that had been left there, causing it to fall over and break. She looked at the camera, then at the broken light, then back at the camera. “...Oops.”

-|-|-End Confessional-|-|-

The cast, the interns, and Lena had met up at the football stadium set.

“Okay, cast, I’m sure you’re all exhausted from washing all those busted cars...” Lena started.

“Wait, what?!” Zach complained. “You mean we were cleaning cars that no one’s even going to use? Gah!”

“Well, if by ‘we’, you mean ‘everyone who isn’t Zach’, then yes,” Juliette responded.

“Haha. Oh, Juliette, you kill me,” Jonah complemented.

“Anyway, since that last challenge was kind of a doozy, this one will be pretty simple,” Lena finished. “In Dodgeball, one of the main characters has to perform a cheerleading routine for his dodgeball team.”

Nick’s face went from indifference to fear in a heartbeat.

“So, in honor of that, you guys will have to choreograph and perform your own cheerleading routine, to be judged by Julian, Michael, and myself. You have one hour to do so, starting... now!”

“Got any ideas?” Zach asked Liam.

“No. Why me?” Liam asked.

“I mean, you are the team leader, aren't you?” Zach asked.

“No. Who said I was team leader?”

“You’ve been bossing me around this entire game!”

“Guys! Focus!” Juliette interrupted. “Look, I’ve personally never been a cheerleader, I doubt any of you have been cheerleaders, and the other team has an advantage. But who cares!”

“I’m sure the judges will care,” Zach stated.

“Shut up, Zach. Now, other than Zachary McGood-For-Nothing, who wants to help out?”

“WOOOHOOO!” Hollywood cheered.

“That’s the spirit!” Juliette encouraged.

-|-|-|-Confessional-|-|-|-

“Dang, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Juliette so... encouraging,” Chris brought up. “It was kinda weird to be honest. Still hot, but, still, kinda weird.”

-|-|-End Confessional-|-|-

“Hello, Rabid Dreamworks,” Michael greeted.

“Hey, Michael. What’s up?” Joey asked.

“Lena told me to tell you what the advantage you won is.” Michael handed Joey a piece of paper.

“What’s this?”

“Julian and I have already prepared a cheer for you.”

Sienna grabbed the paper from Joey. “I can do that! I’m co-... I mean, HEAD cheerleader at my high school!”

Nick, meanwhile, was in a fetal position, sucking his thumb, and whimpering. Sienna had to put every ounce of effort into not cracking up at the sight.

“What’s his problem?” Sienna whispered to Andrew.

“I believe he’s afraid of cheerleaders,” Andrew replied. “He managed to face his fear last season, but it looks like that did not help.”

-|-|-|-Confessional-|-|-|-

“Hey! You can tear some *bleep* up with a pom-pom!” Nick argued.

-|-|-End Confessional-|-|-

“Oh, get ahold of yourself!” Meredith grabbed Nick by the jacket, picked him up, and shook him.

“But... the cheerleading...” Nick was shaking like a madman. “So loud... so cheerful...”

“Will you be joining us, Meredith?” Curly asked.

“What? Of course not! I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing one of those *bleep* skirts!” Meredith snapped.

“You don’t have to wear a cheerleading outfit. You just have to cheer.”

“Eh. Pass.”

“Come on, Meredith. We need all twelve people for this thing to work!” Sienna insisted.

“What part of ‘no’ is so hard for you to understand?!”

-|-|-|-Confessional-|-|-|-

“Meredith certainly isn’t the easiest person to get along with,” Sienna said simply. “Andrew’s right, we should lose her as soon as we can. Nobody gets on Sienna’s bad side and lives to tell the tale.”

-|-|-End Confessional-|-|-

Eventually, both teams had figured out their cheer to perform.

“Okay, Killer Disney, show us what you’ve got!” Lena instructed.

Upbeat music started to play,unsure what exactly to do,the Disneys started doing various flips and jumps to the music,except for Zach,who was lazily waving his arms. The music started to become faster and Hollywood got more into it.

“C’mon guys! WOOHOO!” Hollywood shouted with a big smile as she started doing cartwheels,flips and large leaps. Soon,she was able to stack up the other team members into a pyramid,backflip off of the group and land right on her feet. At that moment,the music stopped.

“Nice job, Killer Disney!” Lena complemented. She held up a sign with a 7 on it.
“Not bad at all!” Julian held up a sign with a 9.

“I feel like some people didn’t pull their weight, but some of their teammates were able to make up for it.” Michael held up a 6.

“And that makes a grand total of 22 for Killer Disney!” Lena announced. “Rabid Dreamworks, you’re up!”

“Uh, Lena.These instructions say we need 12 people for this performance and well...Nick and Meredith aren’t participating” Joey said as he pointed to the two contestants.

“Well,you’ll have to make do with 10” Lena replied. “Alright,begin!”

Another upbeat track started to play as the Dreamworks got into position the start their routine. They started doing somewhat shaky flips and jumps, slides and catches but were overall doing well. But as they came up to the finale,due to the decreased number of participants Sienna and Andrew ended up colliding into each other which by the domino effect screwed up the entire routine. Sienna and Andrew crashed onto Chase and Dina,who then tripped up Julia and John,who caused Curly and Joey to topple over Margot and Conor who both landed on their faces.

Sienna managed to get up. “Ta-da...?”

Lena, Julian, and Michael, without hesitation, all held up signs with a 1 on them.

“Well, that was embarrassing,” Lena pointed out. “But Killer Disney wins this part of the challenge, meaning it's time for the final part.”

“Sweet! Do we finally get to play dodgeball?” Alex asked.

“Yes, Alex, we finally get to play dodgeball!” Lena announced.

“Sweet! Doodaloodadoodaloo!” Alex played an air guitar solo, vocalizing the guitar as well.

“...Alright then. Follow me to Part Three!” Lena set out to leave the stadium. The cast followed, but while no one was looking, Sienna set Nick and Meredith aside.

“Look, if we lose this challenge, one of you two is going home,” Sienna told them. “I hope you realize that.”

“Oh, no, Meredith, we might be going home,” Nick said in mock fear.

“Ha! Yeah!” Meredith added.

“Look, Blondie, it’s dodgeball,” Nick reminded her. “We have Meredith. We have Andrew. We have Chase. We have me. We’re going to win.”

“Yeah! You can’t tell us what to do!” Meredith added.

“Come on, Meredith. We have a challenge to win.” Nick and Meredith left the set, as well as Sienna.

“Grrrr...” Sienna clenched her fists and growled. “They’re dead. They are sooooo dead!”

Meanwhile, the rest of the cast had made it to a set which had a dodgeball court. Nick, Meredith, and Sienna finally showed up.

“Hey, guys, thanks for finally joining us!” Lena called out to them. “Look, I know you guys have all seen the dodgeball episode from Total Drama Island, but in case you forgot, it goes like this: Five players start on each side of the court. On the whistle, you race to the middle to grab one of the balls lying on the center line. It’s your job to hit someone on the other team with one of those balls. If you are hit with a ball, you are out! If you catch a ball that someone on the other team throws at you, that person is out, and you get to bring someone from your team back into the game. If you’re holding a ball, you can use it to deflect the other balls, but if another ball causes you to drop it, you are out. Other than that, it’s fair game.”

“Sounds easy enough,” Margot said.

“Oh, and one more thing. Come on out, Noah!”

A thin, medium-sized Indian boy wearing an outfit suspiciously similar to Gabby’s walked onto the set.

“We decided to let Noah be the referee for this game, simply because we could.”

“Well, it’s either that or OOF!” Noah was tackle-hugged to the ground by Gabby.

“Oh my GOD! It’s really you!” Gabby squealed. “I’ve always dreamt of actually meeting you! I’m like your biggest fan!”

“You don’t say?” Noah replied sarcastically. “Great, I’ve always wanted ANOTHER biggest fan.”

“Try bunking with her,” Dina replied.

“Alright, Gabby, you can get off now,” Lena told her. “The challenge is about to start! Best two of three games wins! And here we go!”

The two teams walked up to the court. The Dreamworks had Chase,Andrew,Meredith, Conor, and Curly. While the Disneys had Juliette,Alex,Zach,Jonah,and Hollywood.

Noah blew the whistle and the game began,all 10 contestants ran at the 5 balls,except for Zach who just stood there. Andrew,Alex,Juliette,Hollywood, and Meredith managed to get them.

Juliette tossed her ball at Conor but missed while Andrew and Alex kept picking up each other’s dodgeballs and throwing them back at eachother,missing every time due to dodging.

“You know,you’re so pretty when you violently throw rubber balls at people” Jonah said to Juliette.

At that moment of distraction,Jonah was smacked hard in the face by a ball thrown by Meredith.

“HA! Eat it,lover boy!” Meredith boasted.

“You’re out, Jonah” Noah said unenthusiastically.

Alex threw another ball at Andrew,he managed to dodge it,but it ended up hitting Conor straight in the stomach.

“Conor’s out” Noah sighed.

Zach,not caring at all was hit by a ball thrown by Curly,and Curly in return was hit by Hollywood’s ball who then threw a ball at Meredith who caught it.

“Hollywood is out. Dreamworks bring in another player” Noah said looking up from a book.

“Nick! Get in here!” Meredith shouted as Nick walked up to the court.

Alex and Andrew were throwing balls at each other again where they ended up hitting each other in the face.

“Alex,Andrew,you’re both out” Noah said.

Juliette was the only player left on the Disney team.

“You know you can just give up right now.” Meredith sneered to Juliette.

Nick,Meredith,and Chase who all had a ball threw them at Juliette. She was able to dodge all three and threw a ball at Chase,but hit Curly instead.

“Curly,you’re out” Noah said flatly.

Meredith kept chucking balls at Juliette and while she was busy with dodging hers,Chase threw a ball right in Juliette’s direction,hitting her in the stomach.

“The Dreamworks win round one,” Noah sighed,twirling his finger in mock enthusiasm.

“Oh,I’m so sorry senora. It was only for the challenge.I didn’t mean to harm you” Chase said apologetically.

“Yeah,yeah.Whatever...” Juliette groaned as she walked to the bleachers.

Round 2 began with Sienna,Conor (again),Joey,Margot,and John. While the Disneys had Chris, Emily, Allen,Lily,and Alex (again).

Chris,Emily,Joey,John,and Allen got the balls and began to throw them. Margot not sure what to do flinched and was hit by Chris.

“Are you okay?” Chris asked in concern.

“Oui. Thank you Chris” Margot said with a wink.

Dina glared at Chris and soon he was hit in the groin by John’s ball.

“Chris, Margot,you’re both out” Noah said.

The round went pretty quickly,with Joey and John quickly taking out Emily and Lily, and Alex and Allen quickly taking out Sienna and Conor, leaving it down to Allen, Joey, Alex, and John. Allen and Alex both threw their dodgeballs,John dodged Allen’s but was hit by Alex’s. Joey tried to catch another thrown by Allen,but missed and the ball hit him in the knees.

“Disneys win round 2” Noah sighed,not looking up from his book.

“You’re the bestest,” Gabby told him.

“I try,” Noah replied, not even bothering to look at her.

“Alright, we’re doing good,” Joey told his team. “I think we should use our strongest players for this one. Andrew, Meredith, Chase, John, and myself. Do we all agree?”

“What about me?” Nick asked.

“What, you’re not afraid of dodgeballs, too?” Sienna asked.

“Hey! I’ve barely even gotten to do anything in this challenge!” Nick replied. “I think the least they can do is let me play.

“Well, I haven’t played in any of them, but... okay,” Julia muttered.

“Look, if it means that much to you, I’ll sit out of the challenge and you can take my place, okay Nick?” Joey offered.

“That’s more like it!” Nick folded his arms.

Meanwhile, Killer Disney had a similar plan.

“Alright, since we’re on such thin ice, I think we should only use our good people,” Juliette offered. “Alex and Allen, you two are definitely in. Hollywood, I like your energy, you can play too. Just try not to let them catch the ball this time. I think I should be in it too. That just leaves one more. Any volunteers?”

“I’ll do it!” Gabby offered. “When my team needs me, I shall deliver! For NOAH!”

“Please keep me out of this,” Noah remarked.

“Whatever. Just get into position.” Juliette instructed.

The teams got into position and noah blew the whistle. All 10 contestants rushed for the dodgeballs. Andrew,Meredith,Alex,Juliette,and Hollywood got the balls.

Meredith chucked her ball right away at Juliette who dodged it and threw her ball back at her,hitting her.

“Meredith, you’re out” Noah said.

“What?! *bleep*!” Meredith yelled as she walked to the bleachers.

Andrew and Alex continued the same routine from Round 1 while Hollywood was chucking balls but not hitting anyone. Gabby was staring at Noah and soon got hit in the face by a ball thrown by Nick.

“Looks like should have been looking at the players instead of me, Gabby” Noah sneered. “You’re out”.

Allen threw a ball at John who caught it.

“Meredith!” John yelled as Meredith rushed back it,swiped the ball from John and hit Alex in the groin.

In retaliation,Juliette chucked a ball and hit Nick square in the face. Andrew kept throwing balls at Hollywood,but she was too fast for him. While he was distracted,Juliette tossed a ball in his direction and hit him on the side of the head. Both John and Chase threw balls at Hollywood,she dodged John’s and caught Chase’s.

“Alex! you’re up!” Hollywood yelled before getting hit in the stomach by Meredith.Juliette hit Meredith in the face again,leaving John left against Alex and Juliette.

“Say goodnight,kid” Juliette sneered as she tossed her ball.

John was able to pick up a ball in time and deflect Juliette’s,Juliette’s ricocheted ball ended up hitting Alex,John then threw the ball and Juliette hitting her in the face.

“The Dreamworks win... Woohoo” Noah said blandly.

“Yay! Alright! Woohoo!” Mixed cheers came from all twelve members of Rabid Dreamworks.

“Alright, good job, guys.” Lena clapped as she walked to the centerline of the court. “Killer Disney, I’m sorry to say, you’ll be voting somebody out tonight. Ouch.”

It was dinnertime, and everyone was eating some of Chef DJ’s soup. Zach, Allen, Nicole, and Lily all sat together on one side of Disney’s table.

“I’m sure you’re all wondering why I’ve called you all here,” Zach stated.

“Yeah, kinda...” Nicole admitted.

“Well, it’s pretty much an undeniable fact that people in alliances always make it far in this game, and I’ve chosen the three of you to form an alliance with me.”

“Why us?” Lily asked.

“Because not only are you strong competitors, you’re well-liked. I want to make sure the four of us get as far as we can in this game. And we can start by booting the threats.”

“Who do you have in mind?” Allen asked.

“Well, I’d originally considered Liam, but the kid’s a pushover. Then I’d considered Juliette, but she’s actually a pretty good leader, and I think we should keep her a bit longer, maybe vote for her when the merge is closer. And Alex... eh, he’s pretty harmless, even if he is a threat.”

“Can you just cut to the chase?” Lily asked.

“Yeah. I think we should vote for Jonah.”

“Really?” Nicole asked.

“I mean think about it: he spent most of the challenge just flirting with Juliette, he’s the one who came up with that brilliant strategy for the car wash, not to mention he got pretty far in the last game, making him a threat. He couldn’t be more vote-able if he tried.

“But how are four of us going to get him voted off?” Nicole asked.

“That’s where you guys come in. If you can each convince someone to vote for Jonah tonight, that’ll be seven votes, which is a majority.

“I’m not sure I can do that...” Nicole admitted.

“Well, you’ll have to try,” Zach ordered. “Anyway... are you in?”

“I’m down,” Allen replied.

“Definitely!” Lily replied.

“Um...” Nicole seemed hesitant.

-|-|-|-Confessional-|-|-|-

“Yeah, I’m not stupid. I know people are going to vote for me tonight,” Zach stated. “That’s why I’ll convince everyone to vote for Jonah. The only problem is, nobody here really likes me, so convincing them to not vote for me will be a challenge. Luckily, I have an alliance on my side.”

-|-|-Confessional-|-|-|-

“It’s no surprise that Zach’s going home tonight,” Emily confessed. “I don’t think he tried even once in the challenge, and he’s just rude overall. This won’t be a difficult vote by any means.”

The Gilded Lena Ceremony was underway. Alex, Emily, Allen, Nicole, Lily, Chris, Juliette, Jonah, Zach, Gabby, Hollywood, and Liam all sat on the bleachers across from Lena, who stood on stage with Julian and Michael.

“Welcome, Killer Disney, to the first Gilded Lena Ceremony of the season!” Lena announced. “If you look under your seats, you’ll find a small tablet. Using these tablets, choose the castmate that you want voted out of the game.”

The twelve castmates quickly cast their votes, and Julian handed Lena the results sheet.

“Alright, the results are in!” Lena announced. Michael handed her a platter of Gilded Lena statues. “If you receive a Gilded Lena statue, that means that you are safe for the night, and will participate in the next challenge. If you do not receive a Gilded Lena statue, then you must take the Walk of Shame, get in the Lameousine, and leave the game! The first statue goes to Juliette!” Lena tossed a statue to Juliette.

“Alright!” Juliette exclaimed as she caught the statue.

“Alex, Allen, and Hollywood, you are also safe.”

“Yeah!”  Alex and Hollywood shared a hi-five. Allen merely shrugged.

“Liam, Chris, Emily...”

“Well, 'I Feel Fine',” Liam joked. Chris and Emily stared at him. “Come on. Does anyone besides me listen to The Beatles anymore?”

“Lily, Nicole, and Gabby, you guys are safe too.”

“Oh, thank goodness...” Nicole smiled weakly.

Jonah suddenly noticed that he and Zach were the only two members of Killer Disney left without a Gilded Lena. “What the? Why’d you vote for me?” Jonah asked Zach.

“You know, Juliette, you’re so adorable when you’re just sitting there,” Zach said.

“Hey! I don’t do that!” Jonah retaliated.

“Yeah, you kinda do...” Juliette admitted.

“Juliette!” Jonah cried.

“Calm down, Jonah, I’m about to hand out the final Gilded Lena,” Lena told him.









































“And... Zach!” Lena called.

“What? You guys all voted for me?” Jonah looked hurt.

“Well, Zach did make kind of a good argument,” Gabby replied.

“SHH!” Zach shushed her.

“That was really low, Zach,” Juliette looked angrily at Zach.

“Heh. No skin off my nose,” Zach shrugged.

“Jonah! Your Lameousine awaits!” Lena reminded him.

“Sorry, guys...” Jonah walked down the Walk of Shame, looking rather depressed. He was about to enter the Lameousine, but was stopped.

“Wait!” Juliette ran up to Jonah. “Don’t worry, babe. That little blonde troll will be the next to go. I promise.”

Jonah blushed. “You know what? You’re so... uh, you’re cool.”

Juliette kissed Jonah on the lips. “I’ll miss you.”

“I’ll miss you even more.”

“Okay, guys, that’s quite enough romance for one episode,” Julian shoved Jonah in the Lameousine and shut the door. The Lameousine drove off into the distance. Juliette waved goodbye at it.

“Will Zach’s alliance keep him alive in this game?” Lena asked the camera. “What will become of the conflict between Dina and Margot? Will Sienna get her revenge on Nick and Meredith? The answers to all these questions and more will come soon, only on Total. Deviant Art! Action!”
If you can dodge elimination, you can dodge a ball!

This will be the last episode of TDAA before I finish up TDIC. Other than that, thanks as usual to :iconshadow326: for helping me out.
