Alex Gremlin's Total Drama Island (Gwen x OC)

If You Can't Take The Heat...

Jesse did not sleep well. That little memory of his was still slimming around in his head like a tumour. He burst awake from it three times in the night. Eventually it was morning and he woke up with bags under his eyes and walked to the bathroom.

As he began brushing his teeth, he heard a voice.

Jesse

"What the?"

Jesse turned around but there was nothing. Then he turned back to the mirror... where a dark face was smiling right back at him!

JESSE!

It yelled and lunged at him through the mirror

"ARGH!" Jesse burst awake.

"Jesse, you okay?" Trent asked, a little  worried as he sat next to Jesse's bunk.

"T...Trent? (Sigh) You're a sight for sore eyes." Jesse said as he gripped the bridge of his nose and eyes.

"You were talking in your sleep, dude." Trent explained.

"You gonna be okay?" Owen asked, standing behind Trent.

"Yeah... I'll be... I'll be fine. Let's just get to the next challenge." said Jesse as he got up and got dressed. Owen and Trent looked at each other, concerned for the katana wielding contestant.

The Campers assembled at the beach where Chris began explaining the challenge.

"Today's challenge will test your minds, your teamwork and... your skills in the kitchen! You will be cooking a three-course meal and serving it to me for tasting. Winners get a reward, the losers will send somebody home. Each team will appoint 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 tasks starts there." Chris announced as a food truck rose from the water driven by a dolphin.

The Bass opened it first to reveal real food! Well this proves that Chris served them that slop on purpose.

"Head chef! Called it!" Heather announced.

Jesse rolled his eyes. "Oh that is so going to end well."

"Leshawna: mangoes, Beth: pineapples, Lindsay: macadamias, Trent: molasses, Gwen: tomatoes, Jesse: sugar!" She announced reading from a notepad.

Jesse grabbed the bag and slung it over his shoulder.

"I bet my last box of pringles we fail, thanks to her." Jesse commented.

"I'll take that action." Owen said.

"Me too. I need some proper food." Gwen added

As soon as we arrived at the kitchen, Heather grabbed an apron and started giving orders. Again.

"Gwen, Lindsay, you're on the citrus macadamia upside-down cake flambe." she said.

"Know how to make an upside-down flamer thingy?" Lindsay asked Gwen with an obvious answer.

Owen then entered with a bag of oranges but after bumping into Heather, he both dropped them out of the bag, slipped on them and then fell and squashed them.

"Go back to the truck and get more oranges!" Heather demanded.

"I'm on it." Owen said, walking out with orange stains on his t-shirt.

"(Sigh) Trent, you and Jesse are on ribs. Leshawna and Beth, you're on pineapple skewers and mango dip." Heather ordered.

"Girl, let me handle the appetizers. I know how to make a pineapple chunny that would melt the socks off the devil." Leshawna responded.
