6teen Fan Fiction ❯ 7teen: For Love, For Jude. ❯ Total Drama decision ( Chapter 4 )

CHAPTER FOUR

 

By closing time we were all ready to go.

 

It wasn't too hard getting all the girls to Comic-Cavern. Jonesy even successfully managed to get the tapes that were needed. Amelie even agreed to be Claudette's translator. “I knew there was some reason I liked you.” I teased her.

 

She playfully slapped my arm for that remark. “I just `ope you know what you're doing, Jude.” She said with concern.

 

Just then, the gang showed up with four of the girls. Melinda however came on her own when Jude Text-messaged her, but she came wearing a ski-mask as she still didn't want to be seen in public. Not ever if Jude was a mall celebrity on my wall-of-fame. “You actually had feelings for her once?” Wyatt whispered to Jude.

 

“Love works in mysterious ways, bro.”

 

Rita and Claudette gazed at each other as if they were starring into a mirror. Except for her brown hair, Claudette looked exactly like Rita. The girls tipped to one side, then another. They both pursed their lips at one another, and twirled their hairs.

 

“Wow… it's like totally having an identical twin only I'm cuter.” Rita cried.

 

Claudette was not impressed though.

 

As soon as everyone was in, I locked the gates, and I turned off the super-pay cards' theme over the store speakers, and froze the flowing marquis-lights.

 

“Judas… Ce qui sont nous faisant ici?” Claudette asked. Everyone turned to Amelie for translation. “Jude she asked you… “What are we doing `ere?”

 

“Yeah… I'd like to know that answer to that too.” grumbled Melinda.

 

Jude took his place, standing on top of my display case counter. “I called you Betties here because it's time I leveled with you all.” he said.

 

He explained how he thought that each and everyone of them were so special and unique. “If I could choose all of you, I would, but… I can't! So let's look at what we got here. Mykan…?”

 

I nodded, and the motioned to the ladies, “Now girls, if I can direct your attention to the picture-board…” I said and with the help of my computer programs, chiming sounds were heard as Jude's picture and five hidden pictures labeled 1 through 5 appeared on the large board near the wall-of-fame.

 

“Crikey… cool graphics there, mate.” said Callie.

 

I thanked her and then told the girls, “Now here's what have. We have Jude there at the bottom, but he has five girls coming after him at once.” Then one by one I caused the number-boxes on the boards to turn over revealing of the girls.

 

Each one flipped over to a different marimba note…

 

“Number-1…” Ping “Is Starr…”

 

“Number-2…” Ping “Is Callie…”

 

“Number-3…” Ping “Is Rita…”

 

“Number-4…” Ping “Is Melinda…”

 

“And Number-5…” Ping “We have Claudette.”

 

The girls each gazed at their own respective photographs. Then Jude explained what was going to happen…

 

Jonesy had smuggled in security-tapes that Ron never threw out. Tapes that were filmed a year ago and what was going to happen was, one by one each movie would be shown, and then it would be Jude's decision to which girl was the best through pros and cons.

 

“I think that's fair, there. “ Callie agreed.

 

“Whoa… I know…” added Starr. “I've always wanted to be in a competition.”

 

Every one of us noticed how calm and easy she was acting towards this whole thing. “Uh… you do realize you may have to break up with Jude, for good this time!” Jen reminded her.

 

“Yeah, sure… it's all cool.” replied Starr.

 

“Oh whatever… can we please get started already?” Melinda said rudely.

 

With that settled, the tapes began to play, and the elimination began.

 

The first one to be eliminated was Callie…

 

The video showed that she and Jude did have fun chatting on the phone, but not only was it nearly ridiculous hanging out with someone whom you never actually had seen before, but Jude turned into a wreck; the way he had to fuss over the pay-phone and nearly put himself through sleep-depravation which began to make him go crazy.

 

She also lost points for having to break-up with Jude. Not as if it wasn't a bad thing as during the time Callie was still in Australia, but she could've at least gave Jude her email so they could at least continue to be long-distant friends.

 

Finally, Jude still didn't know all that much about Callie anyways and she still didn't know that much about him. Neither of them could really understand their needs to live. “Sorry Callie… but it looks like your out.” Jude said, and Callie's picture was marked with a large red-X on the board.

 

“Hey, it's no biggy…” Callie said. “I can understand all that. At least we can be friends.”

 

The next to get voted off was Melinda.

 

“What…?!” she said sounding shocked. “Why? I never did anything bad to you.”

 

“Oh, but I think you did…” said Jude. “Roll' em.”

 

Having to meet in secret, and yet gross places was cool, but it was far more bad for one's way of life. “Jen really opened my eyes that day…” Jude explained. “A girl shouldn't be ashamed of her boyfriend that she has to meet him secretly.”

 

There was event he segment where Jen said, “Don't you want to be able to hold her hand in public, and get invited to parties, and meet her friends?”

 

Finally, she couldn't stand being near Jude just because he farted. “Uh… but that's not fair.” growled Melinda finally throwing off her ski-mask. “I just can't stand bad odors.”

 

“Which means that I'm obviously not your type…” Jude pointed out. “Sorry, bra… you're out.” And Melinda's photo was crossed-out, much to her annoyance, but the relief for the rest of us.

 

Now, only Starr, Rita, and Claudette were left, and it was Rita who got the next boot. She gasped, and then she realized why when she saw the movie…

 

She was too clingy. Too psychotic. “You still have your good points, Rita, but in the end… you're just way too clingy. Sorry, but that's that.” and Rita got marked-off.

 

We all covered our ears, expecting Rita to break down and bawl her brains out, but she didn't. “Okay… that's fair. I guess…” she said trying to be brave. “Okay… I can handle it.”

 

Jude patted her arm, “Be strong, bra… you'll survive.”

 

Now it was down to just two. Starr, and Claudette, and even Starr couldn't relax now that it was this close to being decided. “Well… good luck.” she said to Claudette.

 

“Oui, bonne chance à toi aussi bien.” said Claudette, and Amelie told us that she said, “Yes, good luck to you too.”

 

Jude decided to run both videos before deciding anything, because both the girls were so incredibly amazing to him it was almost impossible to choose between them.

 

First-up was Claudette's movie…

 

Jude fell in love with her for her pretty looks, and the grace she portrayed skating on his ice-rink. At first Coach Halder wouldn't let them see each other, until Jude peeked in at Coach in the change-room and force him into a little deal that was never fully honored as Jude was no good at keeping secrets.

 

“Back straight, head held high… Tooshy-tail if ya wanna fly.”

 

We all shared a laugh at that…

 

Still Jude and Claudette looked so perfectly cute together and they got along well, but only two major things made the downside. “Sorry bra… don't speak angel.” Obviously meaning he could barely understand French.

 

Also, if Claudette really wanted to be a champion figure-skater, as well as an ice-skating actress. She'd really have to practice, be called away to perform and stuff. It just wouldn't work out that way.

 

Now Starr… “She is a Betty-Lynn-Lovely.”

 

She and Jude got a long so perfectly, it was as if they were separated at birth. They enjoyed the same stuff, they liked hanging out. They both were even so relaxed and chilled it was enough to boggle the mind.

 

Then, when Starr changed to hardcore Goth, Nebula, she broke up with Jude after he tried to fit in with her new Goth friends, and that's when… IT HAPPENED.

 

The Zombites: The most powerful, most deadliest organization of terrorizing, teenage Goths had appeared and took advantage of Jude. They drugged him along with many others changing him into one of them.

 

“Heh, heh, ah, ah, ah…!”

 

It was only due to Starr's feelings, and realization of how much she needed him in her life, that everyone was able to beat the Zombites, save Jude and return him to normal.

 

Claudette began to realize there was no way she could win, and she really didn't want to now. Jude approached Starr as the movie began to show pictures of them at “Super-Terrific-Happy-Sushi” playing “Fish tank Theater”

 

“I suppose it is better to have loved a blue-fish, than not to have loved any fish at all.”

 

Just then, Jude's blue fish kissed Starr's red fish, and he kissed her cheek before everyone of us in the store. “I know there are a lot of finned fella's in the ocean Princess, but I only have bulgy eyes for you.” He said to her. “Can you find it in your scaley-heart to forgive a jerk-fish like me?”

 

Starr and Jude kissed before us all, just like their fish in the picture, which had confirmed he was going with Starr. All of us applauded for the couple, even the girls who lost applauded.

 

Amelie wiped a tear from her eye. “I just love a `appy ending.”
