I’ve been wondering how to write this “thank you”, but in appreciation of all of their efforts, too, I’ll let the critters of Wawanakwa thank you themselves! ;)

Gull: “Hi, everyone!” *Gull appears on the outdoor stage used by the TDI campers for their talent contest*   “I guess I’m sort of your spokes-animal for the critters of Total Drama Island, so I’ll just say thank you to all of you humans! We appreciate your protecting our homes and babies from your litter, and for helping me get out of that 6-pack ring. 0o0 Also, thanks for liking us enough to vote for us as your favorite stories for *Gull looks at a nearby wall calendar and reads* August 2012!”  0g0

“I’ve given some of Sunshine’s pixie dust to all the critters here, so Jay could ask them about their lives on this island. So, without further ado, here’s Buck!

* Gull waves his wings to the side, and Buck slowly emerges from the nearby forest, while looking at Gull*

Buck: “Umm… Hi everyone. Thank you for liking us. Does anyone here want to feed me some smores? Or some soda pop? I love your steamed corn, too! Does anyone here have a salt shaker? Salt’s delicious! Or anyone have some fruit they’d like to sha……..re?” *Gull herds Buck off of the stage towards the animal catering table, where Buck can fill up on all the food his tummy desires*

* We the audience soon hear a lot of eating sounds coming from backstage, where a smallish tent has been erected for food and equipment*

* Gull returns, somewhat embarrassedly* “Umm….Sorry about that. Buck doesn’t have a lot of people manners, but he really likes you all! Also, he’d like me to—“ *a plate crashing onto the floor backstage is heard, along with a few footclops of hooves*

* Gull hurries backstage and we hear a few *Screee’s* accompanied by some more foot-clops of the hoofed animal exiting the area*

* Gull returns, somewhat agitated, and says* “Sorry again! Buck is being herded out back by Jay, where he can eat all the food he likes in silence. Meanwhile, here is my friend, Loon!”

* Gull begins clapping his wings together, as Loon lands on the stage*

Loon: “Hi everyone!! Thank you very much for inventing coloredlip-sticks!!! They’re a lot of fun to use! And very practical, too! Also, thank you all very much for enjoying our stories, and us?” *Loon blushes, because she’s still fairly shy* “Anyhoo, Gull and myself and the others really appreciate that you like us so much! Thanks for protecting our environment, too We love you!!”

* Loon then gives a beautiful hoot, with a haunting lilt, towards the audience as she waves and walk/slides towards the water*

* Gull watches as Loon gets to the water and swims back to her family nearby. Gull then turns back towards us and introduces the next animal from the stories*

Gull: “Everyone! Here’s Rochelle! I know some of you folks aren’t bug lovers, but Rochelle and her family don’t really like us when we’re stepping on them or hacking them in two with axes, either. So here’s Rochelle!”

Rochelle the Roach: “Hi everyone!” *waves to the crowd with her two front legs and her antennae from the stage, then climbs to the top of the microphone for a better view and sound*

Rochelle: *high-pitched and loud* “Can everybody hear me?!” *everyone in the audience squeals and holds their now hurting ears as the microphone squeals in complaint, too*

Rochelle: *much more softly now* “Sorry! I’d like to apologize for that, and say thank you very much for voting for us! Gull has been wonderfully kind, and told us how you all felt bad about Railly being killed. Our whole family is grateful for that! :)

“You also really make great food, and my family enjoys living in your buildings and eating all that stuff that Chef makes! He’s an awesome cook! He doesn’t seem to mind us being with him and all that food, either. So anyway, thanks again for letting us into your homes!” *she chuckles briefly* “Through your television sets! :D”

* Rochelle waves, then flies away towards the cabins*

* Gull watches Rochelle leave, then rubs his still ringing ears* “I didn’t need to give her very much pixie dust. She’s pretty smart for a bug. I’m reconsidering eating bugs as a part of my diet, so I’ll probably just eat fish and berries,” Gull concludes, looking at his notecards for the name of the next guest.

Gull: “Next up is a fish called Sprinkle.” *Gull reads his card silently, then states* “Sprinkle is a shark, and knows plenty about people, along with many of her aquatic friends. So let’s all welcome Sprinkle to the ….Um. On second thought, let’s all go meet her at the docks!”

* everyone follows Gull to the docks, and crowd around the water’s edge, while the camera is lowered into the water, and a big canvas is raised so everyone can see and hear what Sprink has to say*

Sprink: “Hi, people!” *Sprink then leaps out of the water in front of them, scaring everyone and backing them away from the shore some*

Sprink: “Just showing you where I am! I’m not going to eat you. You can blame that ferocious image on the media and movies. :(

* everyone shuffles around on the shore looking at each other, then looking back at Sprinkle, who was now watching them from the lake*

Sprinkle: “I just want to say that you’re very nice people most of the time. But you’ve got to protect the wilderness if you want anything wild to survive. And we understand why you have aquariums, now, thanks to Gull and his pixiedust!"

* Sprink looks at Gull and smiles, and Gull suddenly looks like he's about to faint*

Sprink: *turns to speak to the crowd again* "Try not to kill us sharks anymore? Thank you!  Also, way cool on the loving-Beasties votes!!  :D  All of my friends thank you, too!”

* Many sharks jump from the water like dolphins doing somersaults and spins and flips, then splash down again, almost at the same time. This time, many people move away from the water to avoid the splashing, rather than the massive numbers of sharks.*

* All of the sharks, several octopi, and other types of creatures now wave to the people from the water*

Sprinkle: “All of my friends and family say ‘Hi!’ And thank you for not eating shark fin soup! I’m sure it tastes nasty! ;) All us water beasties thank you for loving us!  Thanks!  :D”

* Sprink and all her aquatic friends take off towards the deeper water, many of them waving as they leave. Gull is recovering from his sudden scare.*

Gull: “Those fish are in these waters?! OgO I’ve gotta be careful where I hunt for fish! Wow!”

* Gull suddenly remembers his audience and tries to find his place in his note cards*

Gull: “Thank you very much for your time,” Gull says as he finally finds the note card he wants, “and don’t forget to save the environment! 0o0 We can all save the world together!”  *Scree!*  “Thanks for voting Beasties #1!"

Gull: “Oh, and when you leave here, the buffet is over by the fire pit. Enjoy, and don’t let Buck bully you into giving him too much stuff that’s bad for him. ;) By the way, his buffet and yours were separate, so don’t worry about deer spit in any of your food.  Parteh!!!  :D”

* Everyone, including Gull, leave and enjoy music, dancing, great food, and all the animals and people that want to get to know each other a lot better. Jay gets to interview all of the humans and animals that attended, and writes up some lovely new stories, which are now posted!*

Extra note by Jay: Sunshine warned me that time travel was complicated. :P xDD

Seriously though, thank you VERY much for liking the Beasties enough to vote them FS! Yay!!! :D
