"Ugh, please tell me that YOU KNOW WHO ain't coming to our table..." Sugar complained to Leonard, while she was watching Ella walking up to their table with a slice of vanilla cake on the plate in her hands. Sugar was glaring at the princess when she had her thick arms crossed over on the white cloth-covered table. Leonard looked at both Sugar and Ella at the same time, just when Ella has stopped by them.

Sugar's face was filled with constipated irritation and disgust, while Leonard looked a little surprised and wonderous, recognizing the princess in a very light purple lavender dress. Ella's smile twinkled, paying her whole attention to Sugar since she's the apparent 'friend' that Ella has missed the most. They've made no contact with each other ever since her elimination from Total Drama Pahkitew Island. Now is the time for Ella to use her last opportunity to try to become friends with Sugar. Ignoring Topher's previous advice, she went up, placed the slice of cake on the table, and deliberately gave Sugar a hug.

"Oh Sugar! It's finally great to see you again! I have missed you so dearly! I'm very happy to reunite with you!" Ella exclaimed, gently placing her arms around Sugar's thick boulder bare arms. The country blonde was making the same disgusted face as before, when Ella was still hugging her. After a few seconds of a quick embrace, Sugar immediately pushed Ella away firmly, and then crossed her arms again.

Ella looked surprised and confused at Sugar right after pushing her away as an unpleasant reaction.

"Okay, missy! Let me tell you ONE thing! Just because this is a dang ol' reunion, doesn't mean that we can be best friends for life! Pageant Queens like ME ain't gonna be friends with any former competitors from any pageant shows that I've been on! Pageant Queens don't allies with losers like YOU! The ONLY friend that I need is my man, and that is, my wonderful wizard! And let me tell you, Ella...that if you EVER lay a finger on my man, your perfect fake self is gonna be beaten! Got it?!" Sugar stood up and pointed her index finger at Ella's face, while threatening the princess.

Ella has made a nervous and a frightened reaction when Sugar told her off. She sweated a little bit as Sugar was squinting her ocean blue eyes at her. Ella fidgeted a bit, and looked down at the slice of vanilla cake she's placed on table when she's greeted Sugar. She slowly placed her light purple gloved hand on the side of the plate, and scooted it slowly close to Sugar.

"I...I-I-I...I just w-w-wanted to bring a...slice of c-c-cake, and congratulate you for taking th-th-third place on the show!" she nervously replied, trying to be careful on reasoning her actions, while moving the slice of cake towards Sugar. Ella's stuttery words made the pageant queen scrunch her eyebrows more, meaning that she felt offended, knowing that she only got third place after experiencing Total Drama Pahkitew Island.

She slammed the side of her fist on the table firmly, which made Ella moved her hands quickly to herself, and began to breath in, getting ready to take the anger out on her.

"Sugar...don't... She was only trying to be nice!" said Leonard, encouraging his girlfriend while witnessing her unpleasant reaction about to occur after being congratulated for not winning, but being in third place instead.

"Save it, my wizard man! Let me put her in her place before I enjoy this cake that I'm about to eat after I finish yelling at her!" she back-talked when she turned her head to Leonard, who now made a frighten response to her tone of voice. He sat still, frozen when Sugar turned her head back to Ella, who turned to her side, and shielded herself with her own arms, placing her own hands at the side of her temples.

"ALRIGHT, NOW I DON'T KNOW WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE FOR CONGRATULATING ME FOR GETTING THIRD PLACE, BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, MISSY! I'VE NEVER LOST IN ANY OL' PAGEANTS BEFORE, AND IF YOU THINK COMPLIMENTING ME FOR THIRD PLACE IS SO DANG GOOD, THEN YOU'RE WRONG, ELLA! BECAUSE I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE WINNER LIKE ALWAYS! I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THIRD PLACE, NOR RUNNER-UP! YOU'RE CONGRATULATING ME JUST SO YOU THINK IT'D BE OKAY FOR ME TO BREAK MY WINNING STREAK! SOME FRIEND YOU'RE TRYING TO BE BECAUSE FRIENNNNNDS DON'T SUPPORT OTHERS FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO WIN! THIRD PLACE DOESN'T EQUAL WINNING, AND THAT'S ALL YOU'RE DOING, ELLA! CONGRATULATING ME FOR NOT WINNING!" she yelled in a very loud tone of voice, which drew Shawn, Jasmine, and Samey's attention from the other table as it also drew Rodney and Amy's attention when they were standing at the corner of the big room, as well as Dave and Sky's attention. Ella's eyes were closed in a very frightened way during the duration of Sugar's rant.

The pretty princess has had a hard time responding for a few seconds while her lips were quivering from the shaky feeling she has under her own skin.

While Sugar yelled at Ella even more, an attractive young male has walked into the ballroom, while the room was still playing R&B music. His dirty blonde hair was combed and styled nicely as usual, just like how his hair was presented during Pahkitew Island. He was also wearing a light blue-grey formal blouse with the sleeves that are rolled up to his elbows with a white tie along with a black vest. He was also wearing a pair of black formal pants that matches the shade of his vest, and a pair of dark brown dress shoes. His formal shirt was nicely tucked into the white belt that he was wearing to complete his look. Even more handsome than before, it's Topher who's walked in the door.

Checking himself out with a small pocket mirror in his own hand, his green eyes were reflecting the confident look he has on his face while smiling, showing his million-dollar teeth.

"Looks like tonight is the night, the Tophster! You will bring the light in the ballroom since you're clearly the most-" he spoke, yet he stopped talking when he's heard an unpleasant shouting that came from his own view. His eyes rolled right above the pocket mirror he was holding, when he's noticed Sugar, who was leaning towards Ella in a scary way, yelling at her while he's also noticed Ella protecting herself with her own arms covering her head, kneeling down while allowing Sugar to take her wrath out on her. The words that Sugar told to Ella were very unclear and blurry between their's and Topher's distance.

He squinted his eyes and scrunched his brows from curiosity, when he took a few steps. He walked closer until he could hear their conversation clearly. The words coming from Sugar's mouth became even more unpleasant, and Ella sounded very nervous every time she tries to speak.

"B...b-b-b-but...you misunderstood! I never intend to-" Ella spoke before she was interrupted once again.

"INTENDED TO DO WHAT? MAKE SUGAR-HOLLA MAD? YEAH, YOU'VE ALREADY GOTTEN ON MY LAST NERVES DURING THE PAST TIME WITH YOUR 'Oh Sugar! We're destined to become the best of friends! We're the princess and the queen who should be best friends for life!' WELL IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN, ELLA! I AM NOT EXPECTED TO BE FRIENDS WITH ANYONE WHO WANTS MY FRIENDSHIP! THE ONLY FRIEND THAT I NEED IS MY MAN! MY WIZARD! MY LEONARD! HE'S THE ONE AND ONLY WHO I CAN TOLERATE WITH BECAUSE HE'S AT LEAST NOT A FAKE LIKE YOU ARE! I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO SAY THAT I WAS REALLY GLAD TO GET YOU OFF THE SHOW!" the overweight blonde snapped more, which made one of Ella's eyes open after the last sentence of her rant.

She was lost and confused with what Sugar meant when she's said 'I was really glad to get you off the show'. It's a sentence that Ella was very unfamiliar with, something that she didn't learn just yet. Then she opened her other eye, and looked at Sugar for a brief moment with her curious and a confused look on her face.

"You were glad to get me off the show?! What do you mean, Sugar? You had nothing to do with me getting disqualified from the competition. Chris told me that there was an anonymous person who wrote the note, and I just thought it must be one of the camera guys who were filming us during the show!" Ella spoke in disbelief, thinking what Sugar has said at the end of her rant was nonsense, also thinking that there would be no way that she could've done this to her.

"BECAUSE I WAS THE ANONYMOUS PERSON, YOU DUMMY! I WAS THE ONE WHO WROTE THE NOTE AND TOLD ON YOU TO CHRIS! YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! I WAS THE ONE WHO GOT YOU OFF THE SHOW JUST SO I WON'T HAVE TO TOLERATE WITH YOUR ANNOYING BLABBERING AND SINGING, ELLA!" the pageant queen confessed with more intended insults, which made Ella gasped loudly in response.

Ella started watching Episode Seven ever since she was eliminated from the competition, which was why she didn't learn the fact that Sugar was the one who got her disqualified until now. Sugar's public confessions in the room have earned many deadly glares surrounded herself. Sky, Dave, Jasmine, Samey, Shawn, Rodney, Amy, and Topher were all glaring at Sugar after announcing on how she's the one who rigged Ella's chance of staying longer in the competition.

The last of Sugar's vent brought instant tears into Ella's dark raven eyes, when she gently placed both of her hands over her mouth after making a loud gasp as her reaction. She was surprised with what Sugar did to her, which felt almost as worse as getting turned down by Dave in his own favor of taking his interest in Sky instead.

"S-S-Sugar...h-h-how could you d-do this?!" she responded, right when one of her tears started streaming down on her left cheek, looking at the blonde in sorrow and disappointment with what she's done to her. Sugar's face remained glaring at the princess, not caring the fact that she's already hurt her feelings.

"Fake crying ain't gonna win any sympathy from me, missy!" she replied, pointing at Ella while keeping her eyebrows scrunched up.

Just then, Ella placed her face into her own hands, and started sobbing. Leonard looked lost and confused, and he's remained quiet when Sugar and Ella have gotten into an unpleasant conversation, courtesy to Ella while it went the opposite to Sugar. Ella began to run away from their table.

She ran across the room, and right when she ran passed Topher, he began to watch her run away from his own sight as well. His face was filled with a lot of concern, being one of the people who believes that Ella's the victim in her conflict with Sugar. Knowing for the fact that him and Ella had a quite interesting and a pleasant talk during the day they got the invites, he started wondering if he should go talk to her. At the same time, he's also wondered if he should leave some space for her to cope with, to help herself until she gets into a better mood later. His frown grew big, not enjoying the time after witnessing Ella running while she was bursted into tears. He felt bad.

She immediately exited the ballroom. After she left at Topher's sight, he quickly turned his head around, and faced Sugar as he shot another glare at her. Not only he was annoyed by Sugar's treatment towards Ella, but he was also irritated by her true nature, being vile and disgusting, especially towards classy likable girls like Ella. His eyes squinted, and his brows scrunched with constipated details. He's glared at Sugar for the longest time when she rejoined the table her and Leonard were at, when the couple happily started talking again.

Topher's fists were locked shut while they were hanging down by his own sides. He breathed quietly to his own-self, while watching Sugar and Leonard smiling at each other when they've resumed to their previous conversation before they've reunited with Ella. He's wondered how Sugar can have love, while Ella can't. He's been staring at them for the past three minutes, yet neither Sugar nor Leonard have noticed the fanboy standing there, who was still angry with them being very ignorant to Ella's feelings, especially Leonard since he didn't do too much. The only excuse is that he was afraid of going against Sugar's problems since he knew she might end up hurting him if he defended Ella. From his own fear at least.

Just then, he was able to shake it off for only a temporary amount of time, and has walked over to the snack table. He pulled out a plastic cup from the stack, as he picked up the dipper that scooped some red punch from the glass bowl. He poured it into the cup, and placed the dipper back into the bowl. He took a sip of the punch to sooth out the dry throat that he's had, which helped moisten up.

'Geez, the way Sugar's treated Ella really reminds me of how Chris has treated me during the last season. I know I shouldn't have to worry about that jerk anymore since he's in jail right now, but this is the first time that I actually felt bad for someone...Ugh. Maybe I should go talk to Ella. I have so much on my mind to get off of,' Topher has thought to himself, when he's had his arms crossed. He was still holding onto his glass of punch that is now half-empty.

He's spent over about ten minutes having to think about the issues he's dealt with outside of Total Drama. Then he started thinking about the comparison of his story to Ella's, involving their certain former idols having to stab them in the back, which got him into a more melancholy mood for a short amount of time.

After a little bit, he turned around, and walked away from the snack table. He's never cared about reuniting with any other previous contestants who have participated last season since most of them have barely talked or interact with him. The matter of fact, his team never enjoyed him considering that he was concentrated on talking to Chris and striking his ego rather than helping his team-mates complete every challenge there was. He's never made any friends when he was in the competition with everyone else.

The R&B music in the room turned into a pop song that was sang by another female artist, right before Topher exited the room. He threw the plastic cup in one of the green bins in the hallway after finishing up his refreshment. Then he started noticing Mike, who was still standing by the opened doors that are the entrance to the room. Topher has also noticed Zoey's absence when he exited the entry.

Topher has known the both of them well enough as the lovely romantic couple considering the fact that he has seen them participating in Total Drama Revenge of the Island and Total Drama All-Stars. He's watched every single season and episode of Total Drama. He turned to his left, and faced Mike while making a few steps towards him.

"Hey...Mike! Where's your girlfriend?" Topher spoke and asked the former Multiple Personality contestant, deciding that he could start out a conversation with someone that he knows better than most people who have participated in the same season as him. Mike's attention drew to Topher when he's heard him calling his name.

"Oh, Zoey went to go comfort Ella. We just saw her running out of the room, and she was crying! Did something happened back there?!" he answered and asked in response, making a curious expression while he was looking at the attractive former fanboy. Topher made a sorrow expression on his face, and started scratching the back of his head after witnessing the fight that happened fifteen minutes ago.

"Well...apparently from what I saw, Sugar was just yelling at her, and she also even confessed that she was the one who got her eliminated on purpose! Ella never found out until Sugar spoke the truth. I was just on my way to go talk to her since I also saw her crying while leaving the ballroom," Topher replied. Mike nodded as he understood from what happened.

"Poor Ella...she doesn't deserve this kind of treatment! She was only trying to be friends with her, and I don't get why Sugar wouldn't accept that! It's really disgusting how badly she's treated her! I'm really glad that Zoey's willing to comfort her though. She never really has many friends like I do, so I feel really lucky to have her as my girlfriend!" Mike responded, and smiled a bit at the end of the sentence, reminding himself of how lucky he really feels to have a girl like Zoey, who's still more capable of making more friends rather than himself. Topher smiled a bit in response, knowing how happy those two are with each other.

"Same here. I don't really have that many friends either since I'm not too much of a social butterfly, I guess. The only friend that I have is my orange cat back home, but he didn't like me too much since I always annoy the snot out of him. By the way, Mike, NICE job on decorating the room! It looks fantastic for the prom reunion! One thing that I would like to point out though, is the lighting in the room. I've just noticed a couple of light bulbs that already went out, so it didn't really give that much satisfaction. Other than that though, the ballroom, the music, and the food looks great! It's definitely worth it!" Topher complimented and gave out his critique, while looking straight ahead at the room inside.

"Really? Zoey and I just got those pair of stringy lights a week ago, and this is our first time using them! That was strange knowing that a couple of lights went out already... Maybe it's the poor power that we have in this room, but thanks though! Zoey and I have worked REALLY hard on setting up the whole room, so I appreciate your comment, Topher!" Mike replied and grinned, showing his gap teeth after Topher's compliment. Topher smiled back, while looking at Mike.

"It's no problem! If you need any help or advice, you can always count on me since I'm the expert of making things look great, especially for parties and formal occasions! I'd be more than glad to tell you what kind of supplies you should get for events like this!" he responded, pointing himself with his own thumb as he showed his bright white teeth again, giving out the confident vibe.

While the two boys have decided to get to know each other even more outside of the ballroom, sobs were made in a different hallway. Two of the girls were sitting on the floor with their backs against the wall. Zoey's hands were wrapped around Ella's bare shoulders, giving her a compassionate hug, while she was crying in her own gloved hands. Zoey's face was filled with concern and worry. Her perfect eyebrows have arched to a shape of a wide U as she moved her fingertips over one of Ella's shoulders. Both of the girls have their knees against their own stomachs.

"There there...it'll be okay, Ella! I'm so sorry for what happened to you! Like seriously though...I don't get why Sugar won't accept your friendship offer. It's just so rude!" Zoey spoke in a soft tone of voice, yet she also made a disgusted face after mentioning Sugar's name. A few seconds later, Ella lifted her head up slowly, yet her head was slouching downwards while she was just looking down, not even bothering to look at the indie chick.

"I...I really don't understand that either. I don't understand why Sugar won't become friends with me as well, and I also still don't understand why she would do something like this! I don't know what I could've done wrong to make her hate me... But... If she doesn't want to be friends with me, I suppose I should respect that, and leave her alone. Because all I want is for her to be happy, and I've made it worse for her..." the princess replied, still frowning while her cheeks were filled with tears that have already streamed down. She sniffled a bit, which made Zoey pat her back gently.

"Oh Ella, it's not your fault! You know, I've always had a hard time making friends as well. Not a lot of people really liked me because they see me as someone who's just desperate for friendships, and to be honest, I kind of admired you for trying to be friends with someone who thinks that she doesn't need any friendship at some point. It's hard to find people who would be friends with me..." Zoey responded, rolling her dark brown eyes down at the floor at an easy view. Ella wiped her tears with her own fingers, and started looking at Zoey.

"Why Zoey...I would totally love to be your friend! You are a very nice and a very polite girl, and I've always admired your attempt to be friends with anyone around you! You've always inspired me to do such deeds! I've done a lot of deeds for Sugar, yet she declines them, and takes all of them as insults! I could tell that you've tried so hard on being likable, and I've admired you for that! Not to mention how adorable you and Mike are together! You guys are the best couple ever, and I'm really happy that things are working out between you two!" she replied, and made a sad small smile, which drew Zoey's attention to her.

She smiled back in return, and it looked more happy than Ella's smile at the moment.

"Really? Thank you so much, Ella! You're one of the nicest people I've ever known in my whole life so far! You remind me of Dawn, that girl who used to participate in Total Drama Season Four with Mike and I! She was a little bit creepy, but she's super nice, and she loves animals too! I would also love to be your friend as well!" Zoey replied, giving Ella a big hug, which made Ella hug her back immediately in response. Both of the girls smiled during their five-second embrace.

"Oh yes! I also remember Dawn as well! She's quite adorable, and definitely great with animals too! I've watched all seasons of Total Drama, although Total Drama World Tour is my favorite season since it's filled with musicals! You know how much I love to sing!" the princess added, quickly cheering up after from what happened. Both girls have smiled even more, as they started standing up from the floor, while Zoey helped Ella up more.

"Feeling better now?" the indie chick asked, making sure that Ella's usual happy mood returns considering the fact that she doesn't want her to spend the whole time feeling the sorrow in her heart. Ella wiped the last few tears from her eyes, and smiled even more while nodding.

"Yes, I do feel better now! I'm ready to head back into the room!" she replied, which enlightened both of their moods even more. They've ended up walking away, heading their way back into the hallway that directs them to the ballroom.
