Danny woke up to Ducan's screams as he looked down to find Harold's dirty underwear in front of Duncan. "Gross what the fuck." Danny muttered before pinching his nose, he quickly picked his outfit before exiting the room, that's all he needed to leave the room.

He entered the bathroom, he desperately needed a shower, he always got up early in the morning to shower before everyone else, considering that fact that he still hadn't gotten his surgery  since he had to wait another year, he had already changed his name legally and that was all he wanted. For now.

He sighed as he walked towards the beach since that was where they would start their challenges. "Today's challenge will test your minds, your teamwork and your skills in the kitchen." Chris started. Danny rolled his eyes as he stood beside Dj and Bridgette. The three of them quickly created a bond, probably being the closest group in the whole show. They helped eachother, that was all they needed.

"You'll be cooking a three-course meal and serving it to me, for tasting." Chris explained. "The winners get a rewards, the losers will send somebody home. Each team will apoint a head chef to create the theme of the meal and to oversee the cooking. To cook, you need ingredients, every morning a truck brings us food, today's task starts there."

"So who should we make head chef?" Danny asked the group who turned to him.

"I think it should be you." Bridgette smiled. Danny laughed before realizing the girl was serious, he quickly scrunched his eyebrows, staring at the girl in a confused manner. "I mean, your berries stew was amazing! Think about it."

"Yeah I'm with Bridgette on this one, the stew was totally rocking." Geoff agreed. Danny turned around to Duncan, attempting to get some help from the boy, but instead the boy just smiled.

"Don't look at me, I'm with them." Duncan shrugged.

"Fine, just because I'm bored." Danny agreed, he walked over to the truck, openning the doors to find so many option. "If this is what they deliver why the fuck is chef making us shit?"

Danny climbed into the truck, he ordered everyone to grab the ingredients  they needed, he considered Geoff's suggestion by making it an Italian theme and decided to go with it considering that it would probably be the easiest thing to cook, especially since Geoff knew what to cook and could help Danny.

They walked over to the kitchen, placing everything on the table. "Okay, three course meal, seven people, so I'm going to assign pairs to cook a course meal. Any of you guys know any Italian recipes?"

"I know how to make pasta sauce!" Dj answered. Danny smiled at the boy.

"I know how to boil pasta!" Bridgette shrugged.

"Then we got our first pair!" Danny smiled at the two who nodded, they high fived eachother before staring the pasta.

"Me and Sadie can rock the antipasto I'm like a black belt when it comes to cutting cheese." Harold joked. Danny laughed as the group followed him, Harold kept glancing at everyone before yelling a 'gosh' and grabbing Sadie to continue the meal.

"So, Courtney and Duncan you guys do dessert, Geoff, I need you to help me with the supervision, okay?" Danny asked the boy who nodded. Everyone stood up, continuing the food.

After a while, Dj had dropped some water on Harold, causing Danny to sigh. "Dj, be careful, we don't wanna waste water, Harold, go change quickly, it looks like you passed your pants." Danny scoffed. Bridgette gave a disapproving look before returning to the pasta.

He looked over to find Duncan and Geoff talking about dessert, as Danny made some soup for the appetizers, Bridgette and Dj were cutting tomatoes and Harold was. Still gone. Soon after, Danny watched as Dj and Geoff switched places.

"Dj, could you help me with the soup since you're free?" Danny asked the boy who nodded. He quickly walked over to the boy, continuing to stir the soup as Danny cut a few onions. Dj quickly interrupted Geoff, thankfully, after his failed attempt at flirting. God he needs help.

"God that was horrible." Danny whispered to the girl who nodded. He looked at Duncan and Courtney, finding them bicker about the pastry.

"I can't take your arguing anymore!" Danny groaned. "Courtney, help Sadie and Harold."

"Fine." She groaned. Everyone turned around to find Harold in a thong. Danny screamed before closing his eyes. That was disgusting. He watched as the boys laughed and he scoffed.

"Who took my pants?" Harold asked the three who were laughing.

"Just borrow my shorts, get out!" Danny yelled as Chris walked up, he groaned before warning the group about the remaining time. Harold left to change over to Danny's spare cargos.

Harold soon came back, to cutting the suasgae. Danny stood up on a stool. "Anyone messing with anyone starting from now is dead to me." Danny announced. He stood back down, helping Duncan cook dessert since he replaced Courtney with him.

He couldn't judge them for wanting to mess with the boy, obviously, but not when the challenge was at stake, do it in you own time. He watched as the boys continued to make fun of Harold, attempting to make him confess that the underwear was his.

"You four! Out!" Danny yelled at the boys that were causing chaos. He had enough with them, he'd rather have a team of four rather then a huge team who kept sabotaging them. "Finally, Courtney, you do dessert, Sadie heat up the soup and cook the sausage. Bridgette, continue boiling the pasta, I'll make the sauce."

"Yess chef!" Bridgette smiled as she went to the pasta. Danny went over to cook the sauce, it was annoying him, the group was being so rude and inconsiderate.

As the three hours gone by, Chris sat down at the table, waiting for his meal. "You're meal will be here soon." Danny smiled at the man who nodded. He walked back to the kitchen, giving Chris the Antipasto and soup.

"This is the best soup I've ever tasted, pass the pasta please." Chris nodded as Danny gave him the pasta. He took a bite from the pasta smiling to himself once he was done. "On a scale of 1 to 10, 15!"

Bridgette and Danny high fived eachother as they watched Leshawna gasp. Owen had eaten the meal they had planned. Chris had given them a two, understandably so.

"Tike for dessert!" Chris yelled. Duncan had brought in the dessert as Chris tried it, he placed a hand on Danny's shoulder as he smiled at him, Danny smiling back.

If Chris liked the dessert, they'd win.

If he didn't, they'd be sending someone home.

"Eh 6." Chris shrugged. Danny sighed in relief, they were ahead by 21, the gophers needed a ten to win a tie, but just as Chris was about to eat the cake, it had disintegrated. Danny but his smile as Chris started choking at the cake.

It was obvious that they had lost. Heather was now frozen and the bass had won. Danny smiled as the reward was a five star dinner. Duncan carried Danny as he squealed in happiness.

"Yes killer bass for the win!" Danny yelled in happiness.
