“So, who are we gonna vote off?” Courtney asks. The killer bass just lost the first challenge, failing to build a better hot tub then the Gophers. “Well, I think it should be you princess,” Duncan replies. “WHAT?” “Well, you didn’t jump off the cliff, and the only other one who didn’t is the brick house here, and he looks like he could be useful.” Courtney gives a glare to Duncan. Ezekiel, sitting at the table goes to open his mouth, originally to say how he thinks women are worse then guys, but he gets hit in the head by a flying roll. Everyone at his table laughs at him. “Sorry dude!” Owen screams from the Screaming Gophers’ table, “Mind tossing it back here?” Ezekiel grabs the bread roll in his hand and turns around to face the other table. He throws the roll but gets nudged in the side, so it goes flying far from Owen. Panicking for his food, Owen gets up and runs for the roll. He slides for it like a baseball player would slide for home and catches it in his mouths. He smiles a bread filled smile at Ezekiel and gives him a thumbs-up. Ezekiel just laughs, enjoying socializing for one of the first times, and most of the other campers applauded their show. Both tables calm down again and Ezekiel turns back. The others start talking about who to vote off. Ezekiel remembers he had something to say about this, but for the likes of him he can’t seem to remember.
“Alright campers!” Chris starts up, “This is the first marshmallow ceremony. Congratulations on being the first losers!” “I don’t think that’s something to be proud of,” comments Bridgette. “No, not really,” replies Chris, “But anyways, let me tell you how things are going to work out for this. If I say you’re name, get up, get a marshmallow, and sit back down and enjoy the satisfaction in knowing you get to stay. Got it?” Every camper nods their heads. “Alright then, the first people to get a marshmallow are… Geoff, DJ and Eva…” The three go get their award “… Next are Bridgette, Harold and Courtney,” The three go up and get their marshmallow, on the way back Courtney sticks her tongue out at Duncan, who just gives her an evil eye in return. “Next we have marshmallows for Tyler, Sadie and Katie…” Tyler trips as he gets up, and Sadie and Katie get their marshmallow at the same time. “Now, Duncan, Ezekiel, there is only one marshmallow left, so only one of you guys are staying for the next challenge.” Ezekiel is shaking like crazy and Duncan has both hands in fists, ready to punch out someone. “So, the final marshmallow goes to… Ezekiel!” “WHAT?!” Screams Duncan, as Ezekiel happily runs for his marshmallow. “Sorry dude,” Chris says, “but that’s the way your team mates voted!” “You guys are all going to pay!” “Yeah, yeah, yeah, bad boy,” Courtney says to him, “just get your stuff and get out of our face.”
Duncan indeed did get his bag of stuff and walked down the Dock of Shame, not happy about being the first loser of course. After the Boat of Losers tugs away a few of the campers go on the bathroom cam. “Ha!” Courtney starts, “That will teach you to threaten me to get voted off. As if I would let anyone call me ‘Princess’ either!” “That Duncan dude scares me,” Geoff says next, “Besides, I think Ezekiel has potential. Like, he NEEDS to party with people, learn how to live. Voting him off just wouldn’t be fair.” “Yes!” Ezekiel says next, “I get to stay. Can you imagine what it would be like if I had lost first?”

The next morning, the campers were woken up rather early. They would later learn it was the day of the Awake-a-thon, but for now they just thought their challenge was the marathon. While running, Ezekiel was ahead of Heather for a while. “That home-schooled freak,” Heather says on a quick bathroom cam confession, “there’s something about him I just don’t like.” Heather sprints to catch up to Ezekiel and runs next to him. “So, you’re Ezekiel right? Home-schooled?” Heather asks him. He turns his head to face her while running and blushes a bit. “Uh, yeah…” “I bet there’s a lot you haven’t learned then,” she asks him. “Well, you know, my mom and dad teach me a lot, and…” “Well, here’s a free lesson from me!” Heather says, as she pushes him. Once he’s pushed, he slips in mud, and slams into a tree, then slides face down in the mud. “I didn’t learn anything from that,” he whimpers to himself. “Here, let me help you up.” Harold had stopped to give him a hand up. “Thanks,” he says grabbing his hand. While passing by, LeShawna shoved Harold, who lost his footing easily since he was standing in the mud and then landed on top of Ezekiel. People walking by laughed at them. The two get up, wipe themselves off and continue to run.
After that, they ate and the awake-a-thon was announced. Harold and Ezekiel don’t normally eat a lot, being skinny guys, and weren’t very sleepy, so they made it to night time. After a while, Ezekiel noticed Eva getting up and leaving, then after, Heather doing something, not realizing she was stealing her MP3player. When he looked at her he couldn’t help but think “Why did she push me?” He walks over to Harold, who was getting a little sleepy. “Hey, thanks for offer back there,” he says sitting next to Harold. “No problem,” he replies, “In the scouts, they teach us to always help out when possible. I just wish I hadn’t fallen either, then my offer would have meant something…” Ezekiel laughs a bit at his sarcastic comment. “How did you get down there anyways?” Harold asks him. “I guess I just slipped,” he answers. Ezekiel goes on a quick bathroom cam. “Yeah, I know I didn’t tell him the truth. I don’t know, I guess I just didn’t want him to think badly of that Heather girl.” Afterwards, Ezekiel looks around to see how many people have fallen asleep. There were more then he remembered. “So, you got a lot of friends?” Ezekiel asks Harold. He turns to talk to his new friend, but he’d quickly fallen asleep. “Oh, sorry…” he says to the sleeping Harold. He looks around in a sleepy daze, and then his eyes stop on Heather. He stares at her and smiles for no reason. Within seconds, he has his eyes closed and is asleep.
Later he and everyone who had fallen asleep were woken up and brought to their beds. It would still be a few hours before they’d all be woken up again to learn that Gwen had won the awake-a-thon for the Screaming Gophers. A lot of the Killer Bass members were upset when they learned this, but they were too sleepy to complain, except for Courtney of course, who is always ready to complain of the performance of others. Suddenly, a lot of shouting was heard, it was Eva freaking out about her MP3player, which was returned by Heather. That night Eva was unsurprisingly voted off.

“This is a ball!” Chris said to the campers, “This challenge will be one of classic school-yard gamming; you must simply try to DODGE the BALL the other team members will be throwing at you! If you are hit…” Chris throws the ball after Lindsay “You’re out!” The ball returns to Chris. “If you catch the ball, the one who threw it is out, got it?” The campers who weren’t too tired to do so nodded.
This challenge surprisingly didn’t change much with the substitution of Ezekiel instead of Duncan. When the Killer Bass were about to lose, Ezekiel had suggested some hunting and war strategies his father had though him one day, most of which included having to gang up on one person.
After having taken many hits to the face, Lindsay had to take a break at one point though, and Tyler, who was forbidden from playing by Courtney, decided to tag along with her outside. Heather, not playing in a round, went out to see what they were really doing. Seeing one of her alliance members in the arms of someone from the other team, she got infuriated and threw a canoe after Tyler. “Relationships are just another way of saying alliance,” Heather explained on a bathroom cam confession, “And Lindsay is in MY alliance. If she’s going out with someone from the other team, how can I trust her? … Although, there might be a good idea in this. If I can get some guy on the other team to like me, then he might sabotage his own team for me. I mean, if LINDSAY can get someone to like her, I should defiantly be able to, right?” Heather returns to her stands to watch the game. When she sits down she looks at the guys from the other team. “Now, which one would be best?” she thinks to herself, “I need someone who won’t chicken out or do the right thing, so DJ is out of the question. Tyler apparently likes Lindsay, so no. And Geoff is too laid back, he probably wouldn’t do ANYTHING for me. So that just leaves the two freaks, Harold and Ezekiel. I need to pick the more hopeless one; he’d be more likely to listen to everything I do.” Her eyes go back and forth from Ezekiel and Harold. Ezekiel then sticks his finger up his nose. “Ding-ding-ding, we have a loser…” she thinks to himself.
That night, before the campfire ceremony, Heather had managed to find Ezekiel by himself (he was actually walking back from the bathroom). “Alright, here goes nothing,” Heather quickly comments in a stall confession. “Hey! Ezekiel, or whatever your name is!” Ezekiel stops and turns to see who’s talking to her. “It is Ezekiel…” When he sees who it is he braces himself. “Ah! Please don’t hurt me again!” “Don’t worry,” she replies, “That whole thing about pushing you, it was just over-excitement for the competition. If I had known the marathon wasn’t the challenge, I wouldn’t have done it. I’m sorry.” Ezekiel relaxes. “Alright, well I guess I understand what that’s like,” he says. “Yeah, that was some good strategies you pulled today during dodge ball. I mean, I know it took out my team, but I still liked how well they were thought out.” “Gee, thanks!” He says, surprised to hear someone from the other team complimenting the way they lost. “Yeah, well now I gotta go to the campfire thing. One of our team mates is getting the boot tonight. It’ll probably be Noah; no one seemed to like him during the last challenge. I just hope it’s not me,” Heather then moves her hand on his shoulder and tilts her head sideways a bit, “cause it would be a shame if one of use leaves without getting to know each other first.” She smiles at him, but the instinct to do so originally came from her evil plans. Ezekiel starts shaking. They stare at each others eyes in the silence for five seconds, then Heather removes her hand and pulls back a bit and goes “Well, I got that thing now.” She turns around, then looks back and says “See you later,” then winks at him. He remains frozen as she walks away.
Before the campfire ceremony Heather had quickly said her real feeling in a stall confession. “And there it is,” she starts, “the dweeb is probably already ga-ga for me. All I have to make sure to do is keep this a secret and keep both me and him in the game, at least for a little while. I just can’t believe I had to TOUCH him, eeeewww, I think I need to wash my hands tonight. Oh, and by the way, Ezekiel? I’m NOT sorry for pushing you in the mud: that was too much fun!” After that the campfire ceremony went on. Like Heather had guessed, Noah was eliminated that night for not participating in the challenge.

The next day the talent competition was announced and the killer bass were each demonstrating their talents to pick which one to do. Courtney had already taken control and said she’d play her violin as one of them, and DJ had shown his talent, which everyone agreed would be good. Ezekiel was asked to show his talent. He cleared the area and took out a kazoo. He blew on it once and everyone jumped when they saw and heard a bush move. He quickly took out his bow and arrow and shot at it. “OUCH!” LeShawna yelled out, “Can’t a sister go to her cabin without getting shot at?” She walked out and smacked Ezekiel across the face, knocking him to the ground. “You’re not supposed to be here,” Courtney tells her, “You could be spying on us!” “Relax girl,” LeShawana replies, “I just wanted to touch up my make-up…” LeShawna then passes through and goes to her cabin. After Harold watches her walk by, he steps up to show his talent. He takes a deep breath and Courtney just shouts “NEXT!” Harold hangs his head low and walks away, helping Ezekiel back up along his way. The two sit at a picnic table and start to talk. “I don’t like her,” Harold says, “She’s bossy and mean…”
“Speaking of who you like and don’t like,” Ezekiel asks, “how do you let a girl know you like her?” “What?!” Harold asks. “You know, I don’t have experience with that, and I’m just curious,” he says, not wanting to reveal his crush. “Well, I wouldn’t send them a secret admirer letter, if that’s what you’re asking!” Harold defends himself, as he watched LeShawna come out of her cabin with a note in her hand. “Never mind,” Ezekiel says. “Alright, I’m gonna go for a walk,” Harold says as he leaves. After that, Ezekiel’s attention is caught by people applauding. It was for Geoff, who had just shown off his boarding skills. “Alright,” Courtney says after the applause, “you’re our third talent!” “Awesome, thanks.” Geoff, high-fives a few people, then everyone goes off to do their own thing. While passing by, Geoff and Bridgette make eye contact. He smiles at her and she blushes a bit a giggles. Embarrassed by this, her eyes grow wide and run off. Geoff just shrugs and keeps walking. Ezekiel saw what just happened and goes to ask him the same question he just asked Harold.
“Geoff!” Ezekiel yells out catching up to him. “Hey dude,” he replies. “Um… I think you’re confused, my name is Ezekiel…” “Haha, you really DO need to get out and learn more about popular culture,” Geoff replies, remembering he’s been home-schooled his whole life. “Yeah, about that,” Ezekiel says to him, “One of the things my parents wanted me to learn about is girls. Tell me, how do you show one that you care?” “Well,” Geoff answers, “I think the best way to show you care is to make something for them from the heart.” While saying this, Geoff pats his chest on his heart and he does the same thing while in a bathroom confession. “I, myself, am planning to make a bank for a special girl once I get the material and chance.” Afterwards, Ezekiel scratches his chin. “Make something, huh?” he says to Geoff, “Thanks, I think I got everything I wanted to know!” He then runs off. “Glad I could help,” Geoff shouts as he waves bye to him, “and work on learn the teen speak too!”
That night, all the campers who weren’t in the talent show went to watch it. Trent went first and sang his song then DJ tripped up and Justin did his show. When Bridgette went on and started blowing chunks everywhere, even Ezekiel was grossed out. He didn’t get hit, but Harold got a little bit on him. “I’ll be back in a few minutes…” he says to Ezekiel, leaving to wash off. Then Heather came out in her ballerina and Gwen’s diary. Ezekiel couldn’t stop smiling. “I’ve never seen anyone look so beautiful,” he thinks to himself. Then, Heather starts her act, including the part where she reads Gwen’s diary. After her part, Ezekiel stands up to applaud her, but everyone starts booing and hissing before he gets the chance and then Chris informs her she got the lowest score on her team. “Uh-oh,” Ezekiel thinks to himself again, “this could be bad for her… She might get voted off… Well, if her team loses that is, and right now it doesn’t look like we’re going to win…” Then he looks around, remembering his friend who went to clean himself off. “Where did he go?” “Ladies and gentlemen,” Chris announces on stage, “We have a last minute substitution. Instead of Geoff and his skateboard tricks, we have Harold doing… something…” Harold is then pushed on stage. “We never did his talent,” Ezekiel thinks to himself. Afterwards Harold does his amazing beat boxing routine and wins the show for his team. Ezekiel cheers like everyone else then realizes something about Harold winning the competition for the Killer Bass: it might mean that Heather would get voted off that night. His best friend would have gotten the girl he likes voted off…
That night Ezekiel waits nervously in the forest to see if Heather will be returning. He watches all the Screaming Gophers walk back to their cabin and doesn’t see Heather return yet. “She must have gotten voted off after all…” he thinks. Then, he sees her, she was just farther back. “Hey! Heather!” he calls to her. She looks around to make sure no one sees her or heard him, after which she goes to join him. “I just wanted to tell you, I thought you were really beautiful tonight during the talent show,” he admits to her. “Oh wow, thanks,” she says, a bit shocked. “Yeah, and I’m really glad that you didn’t get voted off.” “Well you know I don’t want to get separated from you just yet,” Heather says, cracking an evilly flirtatious smile, “but you know, my team doesn’t seem to like me very much and I don’t really know why…” her smiles changes to fake tears, “I’m… I’m afraid they might vote me off if we lose again!” “That’s not good…” “No,” she says, moving closer cuddling a bit on him, “that’s why I want you to help my team win.” “How do you want me to do that?” Ezekiel asks. “By making your team lose.” “I don’t know about that. I mean, I know you want to-” “Please,” she interrupts, running her hands in up under his hat and though his hair, “You’ll probably not get caught and stay her anyways.” “Al-alright,” she says, almost melting in Heather’s hands, “I’ll do it…” “Super!” she says, then starts walking away, “Well, good-night then!” Ezekiel gently waves at her then thinks to himself “Am I really going to make my team lose for her?”
“That Ezekiel is such a boob,” Heather admits in a bathroom confession, “I just flirt a bit, flip my hair at him and he’s putty in my hands. Now with him working for me on the other team and Lindsay and Beth doing whatever I say, I’m going to win this competition no problem! … Still, it was pretty cool that he called me beautiful… I never did have a guy say that about me before…” After that ends we see Ezekiel walking back to his cabin, he meets up with Harold on his way there. “Hey Harold, nice job at the talent show and… are you looking for something?” “Oh, yeah, thanks. I’m just looking for my ant farm…”
Total Drama Island part one

Imagine an aleternate reality. In this reality, a small peice of bread has the power to change an intire time line and create a whole new series of events. This, is the time roll! Yeah, I really thought out of the box for the title =P .

Alright, so most of you should know by now that I think Ezekiel and Heather would make a great couple on TDI if Ezekiel would of stayed. This in mind, I came up with this story where Ezekiel stays, and you enjoy the events that follow. Oh, by the way, I'm sorry if I offended any Duncan fans by making him the first one voted off instead, but based on first impressions I think he's the one who made the second worst one...

Also, I haven't gotten the chance to proof read this, so please inform me of any spelling mistake or grammar errors. As usual, I'm putting advanced critiques encouraged, so don't hesitate with ANY comments, questions or sugestions (though I have most of it already planned)

Edit: why do I forget this everytime? DA RUINS paragraphs... please ignore that...
