Day 22: Pirate Movie

As Beth and I fell asleep I had a sinking feeling.


We all wake up tied to the mast of a ship. 


"Duncan can you please untie me."


"Sure," he says without hesitation he unties me as I untie him and Beth.


"Breakfast anyone?" Chef came and served real food as Duncan at first made fun off it.


"Duncan, you need to eat this." I say already munching on some flapjacks.


"Wow." The three of us eat before Chris arrives with his parrot friend.


"Today's movie genre is pirate movie day. And you're on deck for a swashbuckling obstacle course followed by a treasure hunt through the entire season's challenges." Chris then hands us swabs. "Obstacle number one: swab the poop deck. Obstacle number two-pun intended-grab a flag and shimmy up the greased mast and fly your jolly roger. And finally, a cannonball. The target is the monster chomped movie set. Ready, set, and... go!"


We instantly set off and the second the two enter their bathrooms they pop back out because of the smell. I focus on cleaning and very swiftly finish.


"And Kaylub is the first to finish."


"Kaylub?" I look back to the two and give them a nod. 


"I'll be right back." I grab my purple flag and instantly hightail it up the pole easily tying it to the mast. I then go and pump up the cannon.


I rush back to the start and grab swabs to help Beth out before she finishes and then I help Duncan who was back in for a second time.


The two go to put their flags up as I go over and see Chef and Chris bickering.


"This show won't be the same if it isn't you two. Please don't fight." I say as the two blink at me.


"Fine, Chef you try being host for a bit and I'll take over you're position for bit. Deal?"


"Deal." Chef then launches me out of the cannon.


I land and soon Chef comes over in a helicopter and starts trying to read off of cue cards.


"Stop, just skim over what's on the card and take out the important details. Then-" Duncan then comes flying in as I step to the side letting him land.


"Okay, now what?"


"We answer a trivia question, get it right we skip and move on to the next. Get it wrong and you have to do the challenge." I say as Chef nods.


"Okay, shoot."


"Who got the space boot after the alien movie challenge?"


"Geoff and Bridgette due to always making out."


"And where was the weirdest place those lovebirds ever made out?"


"How am I supposed to know?"


"Kaylub?"


"Chris' private quarters in a tanning machine."


"Kaylub moves on and Duncan, you got an alien to kiss."


I move on and wait for Chef.


"Who was left on the editing floor and follow up, what was she reincarnated from?


"Izzy and her own grandmother." I move on as Chef waits for Duncan.


"Who left the rodeo and where did his phobia come from?"


"Trent, and from that one time as a kid when the mime snuck up on him." He nods then I move on waiting at the prison set.


"Gwen and her lizards names are Angus and Vampira." I move on to where the horror movie challenge was.


"DJ and he loves his mama." I continue to go through and answer the questions.


/"The reason I know all of this is because people don't ever think that the shy kid is listening when they speak around me or they completely forget I'm even there. Like how I know Beth isn't always good because one time she ate all of the cookies delivered to the girls and she punched the camera out." I giggle remembering it. "Also Duncan isn't all bad... he can be really sweet and protective at times." I blush lightly.\


Soon I'm at the final challenge when the two catch up to me as well as Chris and Chef.


"Ooh, look at this suspenseful outcome. The next question could determine who climbs the golden ladder to Glory Town and who slides down the stinky slide to Loserville. Alright who was voted off after the animal buddy challenge?"


"Courtney!" We all say together.


/"Oh no. I know a lot about her, but I still don't like her enough to actually remember anything for her."\


"What was Courtney's band name?"


"The-" I started only to get cut off by Beth.


"Who cares? She Shouldn't have been here in the first place. Launching a lawsuit against the show not one but twice-that's poor sportsmanship, and totally cheating, and plus Courtney is barely a human being!" I blink at Beth.


"Wow, Beth. Interesting. But that wasn't the question."


"Courtney's band was The Type A Psychotic Crazies. Later losers!"


"Hold on, bro. That was Kaylub's question which was rudely interrupted by Beth. Your question... what color is Courtney thinking of?"


"Right now? Are you serious? I don't know, er, blue?"


"Tough luck. You three have to do the last challenge." We all were okay with the idea of doing the buddy animal challenge. "That's why instead i'm bringing back the shakingest, quakingest, the bone meshingest, face bashingest challenge of all... The disaster movie earthquake challenge!"


We arrive at the challenge as I look at the thing I never faced. 


"This sucker tossed the mighty Owen around like a ragdoll. Contestants ready? Goodluck suckers, ha-ha!"


"Just stay low, and try not to poop your pants."


"I'm glad one of us is going to win," I say with a smile to the two.


"Yeah."


"Action!" We run as at first we dodge golf balls, then tools.


"Mclean! you throw like a girl!" Duncan taunts.


"A five year old girl!" Beth adds. Oh no!  I turn to see him launching a toilet. I knock the two down as the toilet flies over us then I grab them and run from the sink.


"Let's not tempt Chris into actually murdering us," I say to the two as we all continue to run. Then a shiver runs up my spine. I turn to see a safe come flying and I see where it's going to land. I rush back and push Duncan ahead of me as the safe knocks me into a hole.


"Kaylub?"


"Go! You have enough of a lead to win this."


"You saved me?" I smile at him before feeling myself slip further. He helps me out and aids me to the zipline. We zipline down as Beth finally reaches the zipline and follows us.


It was neck to neck to neck and as a final conviction, I push Duncan with enough force to send him through the door first.


"Duncan!" Beth and I enter after him to see the entire TDI crew was here. I blush seeing Cody and Noah looking my way. 


Duncan receives the suitcase as Courtney hugs him and kisses him. After the festivities, and Brady being real, Duncan comes over to me.


"You gave up the win for me, why?"


"I have-" He cuts me off


"We both know you were fast enough to leave both Beth and I in the dust even after getting injured due to the safe, which is my fault. Why?"


"You like Courtney a lot right?" He blinks. "I'm willing to lose for someone else's happiness. Plus I bet these two seasons has got to have my dad looking for me right? Go get her." I smile and walk away unaware of a speechless delinquent behind me.
