"Last time on Total Drama Island, the Screaming Gophers kicked butt in the Awake-A-Thon, and the Killer Bass took their second loss in a row. Harsh. Heather orchestrated the first Total Drama Island alliance by convincing Lindsay and Zahira to join forces with her, then pocketed Eva's mp3 player and sat back to watch the fireworks. Cody attempted to find out Zahira's real feelings for Noah. Who will break the rules of their new alliance? Will Gwen be able to stay awake until the end of the episode? Will Zahira and Noah become the first Total Drama couple? And who will take the next humiliating walk down the Dock of Shame? Stay tuned for the most dramatic campfire ceremony yet, on Total Drama Island!"

(Intro)

Everyone was eating breakfast in the mess hall.

Zahira was sitting across from Lindsay and beside Heather. They'd invited her to sit with them. Zahira had to admit, being in an alliance felt good. And so did finally sleeping. The Gophers were all wide awake, while most of the Bass looked dead.

And Chris had to provoke it.

"Duncan." He greeted as he walked over, standing at the head of the Bass table. "You look like death, dude." He laughed. Duncan glared. "Stuff it." He dropped his head back onto the table. "Harold snored all night." She groaned. Chris laughed. "Wow. Four nights with no sleep? How much are you hurting?" Duncan snapped his head up. "Wanna find out?" Zahira glanced over her shoulder, making a mental reminder to stay away from him.

The door opened, and Harold stepped inside. He looked tired too, but the biggest thing about him was the drawn mustache on his face. He walked past the Gophers table, and none of them could hide their giggles. Neither could the Killer Bass. Except Duncan, who Zahira began to think was actually dead.

"Hey everyone! It's Gwen!" The goth walked through the door. The Gophers erupted into cheers for the player who'd won them the last challenge. Today's morning had been filled with "who won the challenge?", "who got voted off?", "who were the last two?", "what happened last night?". All of them had been asleep by the time the winner was declared. It felt like school gossip.

Heather turned to Zahira and Lindsay. "So. Let's go over the rules one more time." She commanded. "Number 1. I am the captain of this alliance. So I get to make the rules. Number 2?" Lindsay piped up. "Breaking the rules can result in getting kicked out of the alliance?" She beamed.

"Good." Heather praised. "Number 3. I can borrow any of your stuff without asking, but my stuff is strictly off limits." Zahira and Lindsay exchanged a glance. "I don't know about that last rule." Lindsay pointed out. "That's cool. I can change it. I can also find someone else to take to the final 3."

Both of them shook their heads quickly. "Good." Heather smirked. "Wanna have some fun?" Zahira turned as she shouted to the Killer Bass table.

"Hey fish-heads! Way to kick out your strongest player. Why don't you just give up now?"

Someone threw a load of mashed potatoes. Heather sidestepped it, and it smacked Gwen in the face. "Missed me." She taunted. Courtney crossed her arms.

Chris, attempting to avoid the oncoming fight, stepped in, clapping his hands. "Okay, listen up, campers. Your next challenge begins in 10 minutes. And be prepared to bring it."

Cody leaned in. "What do you think it'll be?" Zahira shrugged. "I've stopped asking that after the first day."

The challenge took place in the indoor court. The teams stood in a line. Duncan was asleep on the bench. Chef blew a whistle and walked to the center, glaring at the teens as he did so. "Today's challenge is the classic game of dodgeball!" Chris held up a rubber ball. Zahira groaned.
