I just woke up in the middle of the night and decided to go on the hunt for the disk only because I don't want Zoey to find it, but also because I couldn't go back to sleep in the first place... I had a weird dream. 

"I am so bored!" I hear Chris call out from down the hall. I giggle lightly to myself as I continue on my search.

/"Alejandro said it was in the art..." I ponder this for a few seconds before gasping.\

I rush towards the living area only to see the smile of the Chris photo to be missing. I facepalm before going towards the viewing room. I end up catching the back end of video during the boat race where it only showed Mal but not me with him. 

"Surely he hasn't been Mal this whole time!" I back away and run back to my room. Sorry Mal, she saw. I end up falling back asleep.

"Good morning, final six! Gather on the dock, pronto-rooni-o. It's crunch time! And by that, I mean you're about to get crunched," Chris said laughing as I exited the spa hotel.

We were walking down the dock, Zoey ahead of me. "So did you sleep well?" MikeMal asked as I shook my head.

"Not as well as you might think," Zoey said as I bit my lip.

"Look, I know it's been tough for you to trust me this year. But I really am back in the driver's seat now, have been since the boat race, and it's all thanks to you! I promise, I'm the same Mike who gave you that bracelet last year." My eyes widen as I shake my head.

"Yeah, I wasn't sure who you were sometimes, but now I know." They release hands as I was going to talk to Mal a boat arrives.

"Ahoy, Mateys! Arr! Come to me, faithful bird!" I raise a brow at Chris' pirate routine as Chef comes out in a parrot costume. He didn't look happy as Chris was on the dock. "Oh, come on! Stop frowning. You look great and you know it. Hey if you don't want to be here then..." Chef then leaves. "That isn't what I was gonna say!" He then sighs walking over to us. "Sorry, It's just life is so hard in the spa hotel. I'm sick of roughing it! And since I'm craving the comforts of home, I've come up with a special challenge. Your mission, to retrieve one of six valuable pieces of pirate loot stashed somewhere on the island."

"Pfft! As if there's anything valuable around here." I feel a hand on my hip and I blushed. Chris scoffs at Scott who spoke and then looked my way as if I'm the exception.

"There's plenty, if you know what you're looking for!" Chris said in his pirate impression before looking my way as I blushed deeper. 

Chris then leads us down to where six chest were placed on a table. "To determine who searches for what, each player will choose one of these six treasure chests! Arrr! Har har! Zoey, as the winner of the last challenge, you get to go first."

"Good luck," MikeMal said. She goes up to one and gets shocked before it pops open revealing a yeti footprint. 

"Excellent. Zoey, you must bring me the yeti." I go next and feel a shiver from all the boxes except one. I open that one and dodge a patch of angry bees. I see a picture of the McLean head of invincibility. "Good one, Kaylub, you must find me the lost original statue of invincibility." Cody goes and get sprayed with skunk spray, he got a picture of a fish. "Cody you must find the original fish with the egyption symbol." Gwen is up after him as she opens hers and gets a face full of pepper. Her picture was of Chris. She sneezes. "Gwen, you must go to the crumbling, life-threatening, dangerous wrech of my former cottage and bring back an intact portrait of moi." Scott is up next and as he opens his nothing happens...then he gets hit in the face with a boxing glove that has a picture of a diamond. "Perrr-fect! You must bring me the McLean diamond, which can be found on or near the abandoned pirate ship, which just so happens to be guarded by your old pal... Fang." I growl at the mention of that overgrown sushi.

"I have to fight a shark and all Gwen has to do is find some art?! How is that fair?"

"Hey, there's no "fair" in pirate!"

"So that leaves the last chest for me!" MikeMal said as he walked up to the last chest. "What's in it?" He asked.

"Nice try, but the choice isn't official until you see for yourself."

"Fine." He opens the chest and digs in it only to retract his hand with a yelp and growl at the snapping turtle on his hand. The turtle lets go and runs away whimpering like a seal. We all look at the turtle confused.

"Okay. That's new. Mike you must bring me the long lost original golden chris statuette."

"Any clue where I might find it?"

"If I knew, It wouldn't be "long lost" now, would it?" We then all stand back in a line. "Helpful hint: Think fast, and work faster, because three of you are going home today!" We all gasp in shock.

"Yeah. Whoever comes back last, or worse, empty-handed, goes directly to the flush of shame. Whoever brings back their loot first wins a guaranteed spot in the finale and... gets to select which two of the remaining four walks the plank into the big john tonight! All clear! On your mark..." he sighs "Oh, just go!" He blows an air horn as we all rush off.

"Mal... she knows. I wasn't able to stop her from seeing the footage and Mike gave her a necklace not a bracelet." I inform Mal as we were near the spa hotel.

"That makes this a lot more difficult. One of us needs to win this challenge... meaning we can't let Zoey win. If I find your loot or if you find mine we need to find each other that way one of us wins." I nod as he pulls me in for a quick kiss before he goes off somewhere. I look around trying to find both a statuette and the Mclean head.

/"It shouldn't be that hard. Chris would never lose anything he sees valuable... that includes anything of himself."\

"Zoey is the first to find her loot! Will she be the first one back to the dock?" Chris said. Not if I can find mine first.

I continue to search then see a glitter of something golden. I follow it and gasp as I've entered a room filled with statuettes and all of Scotts wood carvings. "Like a golden needle in a haystack." I start looking through them.

"Zoey is leading her loot to the dock, if you haven't found yours yet, you might want to think about doing so right now!" The yell at the last part cause all the stuff to fall, but a quick breeze leaves everything levitating around me. 

"Okay maybe I should have done this in the first place." I use the wind to help me find both my own loot and Mal's loot. "Yes! Now to get to the dock." I rush out of the room with both loots in hand and hightail it down to the dock. "Chris, I got it!" I yell excited as I look and see Zoey coming down with the yeti. I step out of the way with Chris as Zoey hops off the log to stand by us. Letting the yeti crash into the tree.

"And Kaylub wins! With Zoey bringing in her loot as well. And here's Mal and Scott-so many empty hands! What's a host to do?!" Mal dragged in Scott who looked dazed and in pain.

"Sorry, pappy, I woulda caught the shiny rock but the sea-pig ate it!" Scott said as I felt bad for him.

"Uh-huh. What's your excuse?"

"Actually I got Mal's loot right here." I say with a smile as I hand the statuette to Mal.  

"Fine, Scott, you better hope Gwen and Cody comes back empty-handed or you're gonzo," Chris said as Gwen then comes out of the woods.

"I'm here! I'm here!" Gwen said.

"And Gwen is next to arrive, but she comes bearing loot, unlike Scott. And Cody is still missing." Gwen shows the picture and I cover my nose. "Funny, I don't remember this one."

"Yeah, I had to do a... a little restoration work. Heh." Chris sniffs the painting and nearly pukes.

"What's that earthy aroma?"

"Oh it's avant grander! It's stylized!"

"It's bear poop." I say for her as Chris then vomits on his own picture, I cover my mouth and swallow my own vomit.

"For defacing my portrait, Gwen gets the flush!" The others gasp, or groan, except for Mal and me.

"What?! No fair! Scott came back empty-handed and Cody is last!"

"True, but he didn't make me do this." He then vomits again on his picture as I hold in my own.

"Fine."

Cody then arrives with a fish that had a symbol on it, but it wasn't egyption. "Wow, Cody, you're last and wrong." 

It was later in the day as I sat outside the spa hotel that Zoey came over and sat beside me. "Who are you planning to bring with you?"

"Mal." I say without hesitation.

"What... why?" Zoey ashed shocked.

"Do you miss Mike?" She was silent for a while.

"Yes, but-" I cut her off.

"What if I can bring him back?" There was another long pause.

"Even if you could, you can't beat Mal." I chuckle at that.

"You all underestimate me just because I'm smaller and a lot quieter. I can beat him... and I will." I say determined. She nods.

"Then I guess we'll both have to do it together." I nod.

Scott came over. I blushed as he pecks me lightly on the lip. I look at his blue eyes to see clearity in them as well. 

"You better not lose to that evil freak." I nod as he kisses me again.

"Good luck, Kaylub. I really hope you win!" Gwen says as she was in the toilet with Scott as well he smirks at me causing me to blush..

"Thanks Gwen." Chris then flushes her.

"Who to flush next? It all comes down to who you want to battle in the finale: Cody, Zoey, or Mike?"

/"If I don't choose Mal... Mike could be lost forever. I know I've fallen for Mal, but Zoey loves Mike and they were together first. I can't take that away from her... it's not who I am."\

"Cody." I say simply.

"Are you sure you don't want to pick someone else?" Chris said sounding quite concerned. I smile and shake my head.

"I know what I'm in for and I'm ready." I say as Cody get flushed.

"We have our finalists! Who will rule victorious in the toughest, roughest million-dollar challenge ever? Tune in to find out next time n the season finale of Total...Drama...all-stars!"

We go to the spa hotel where Zoey had already entered. Mal holds me close and looks me in the eyes with his brown eye. 

"Mike really did miss out on something special," he said as I blushed. I took a deep breath. It's now or never. I step back and out of his hold.

"Mal... I'm going to bring back Mike and win the million dollars." I say to him with the strongest resolve I ever had. He blinks a few times in surprise then chuckles.

"You really are something. I'd love to see you try." He walks by me and then stops. "Once you realize Mike's gone forever... I'll have a million dollars and you." He whispers to me.

/"I'm only trying to get back Mike for Zoey... I really like Mal and if what he says is true... I'm sorry Zoey."\
