User:VeryUnknownFan/Alejandro and Lightning

This article focuses on the interactions between Alejandro and Lightning.

Overview
For the first few episodes of Total Drama Around the World, these two do not speak to one another, as they are on separate teams, but both of their egos, and their obsessions with their fit bodies eventually have them form a friendly competition throughout the first half of the season. Soon enough, they trust one another to consider being an alliance (which does not come true until Aloha, Merge!), where they get rid of many threats, and strategize with one another through the second half of the season. They end off the season having some respect for one another, and on friendly terms.

Total Drama Around the World
In Icey Antarctica, Alejandro takes off his shirt to hand over to Bridgette, and for some reason, Lightning feels like he needs to compete with him, so he takes off his shirt, and says he has the better body, only for Alejandro to ignore him.

When everyone is in their bathing suits for the challenge in Jamaica Man!, he brags that he has the better body again, and that he has the more toned and better looking body again, only for Alejandro to say that he is the better looking one, which both agree to. Alejandro admits in the confessional that Lightning is not that bad. They end up talking competitively to one another before Alejandro goes on the course with Sadie, and they sabotage it for when Lightning and Beth go on, and screw up, which the latter thanks them for. When the Olympians lose, Lightning tells him he hope he is not out.

Knowing that the merge is coming soon, Lightning goes to speak to Alejandro privately, and asks him for an alliance if the both of them make it, which Alejandro refuses to respond in Indian Dance.

Him an Anne Maria go to first class with the intention to make a deal and to discuss an alliance with Alejandro, before they are all cut off from having to sing in Australian Rivals. The two have to fight on another (and Geoff) for the challenge, and both of them pummel Geoff together easily, before they attack one another brutally, with Lightning ripping his hair, and Alejandro putting him in a headlock, only for Lightning to punch Alejandro in his genitalia, making him fall on the floor. He respect's Lightning's dirty tactics. After the challenge, Lightning warns Alejandro about Sadie, and that she is a snake, for him to tell Lightning that she is his only ally, and would come of use to them, only for Lightning to vote her off when he got the chance.

Alejandro finds himself with no allies (with his only ally Sadie being eliminate. He takes Lightning offer that he made 2 episodes prior, and they quickly form an alliance with one another (along with Anne Maria and Beth) in the beginning of Aloha, Merge!. Alejandro tells him that the alliance's first form of action shall be targeting Bridgette, but the two are the only ones to vote for her.

In African Safari, he tells Alejandro that they need to stir things up in the game, and complains about Anne Maria to him. Him and Alejandro spread a rumor to Bridgette about Geoff and Amy having a secret affair, and Lightning says he sees them sneak off to the confessional together constantly (both wanting to do so, so they can turn the 3 members that are not in their alliance against one another). They both decide that it is the best thing for the alliance to vote in Eva into the conversation (to add her to the alliance), but both soon regret that choice when Eva starts to verbally attack Alejandro. When Alejandro gets a higher mark than Lightning in the challenge, he complains that the challenge is rigged. Both of them decide to vote off Bridgette, and succeed.

Lightning is relaxing with Amy and Alejandro in London the Ripper, as they are enjoying first class, and says that he is sick of people telling him who to vote off. Him and Alejandro take note that Anne Maria did not vote with them for the last 2 eliminations, putting doubts about her (contemplating to vote her off). Both of them decide that they should take out Eva and Amy, and is happy when Eva is eliminated, but Alejandro is soon eliminated, causing Lightning to grow furious, and gives him a handshake goodbye, ending things well with them.

In Grand Slam, Home-Run, Hit, Strike, Foul and You're Out Lightning goes on a complete rampage over Alejandro's elimination, lashing out at his allies Beth and Anne Maria for voting him off, and refuses to trust or work with any of them.
