It had been 5 years since Mike's last season, Total Drama All-Stars ended. He felt a bit lonely without his multiple personalities (even Mal), but he knew that they were always a part of him. He was a bit bummed out that he lost the money, but was even more happy that he reunited with the girl of his dreams, Zoey. Just the thought of her made him smile dreamily. They were still going strong in these past five years. After Total Drama Revenge of the Island, Zoey's family moved in the house right across from where Mike lived. They attended the same high school, graduated summa cum laude (highest honors) together, and even went to a really good college in Toronto, where Mike studied film and acting and Zoey went into education. They recently graduated and life was good.
It was a hot July afternoon. The sun was shining brightly, birds were chirping, and there was not a single cloud in the blue sky. It was very peaceful.
During that peaceful afternoon, Mike was happily playing in his backyard with his 5-year old sister, Michelle. "Alright, Michelle! Catch!" he yelled out, throwing a tennis ball across the green grass.
"Okay Mike!" she yelled back in a cute, squeaky voice. She ran over to the ball with her dark brown pigtails bouncing back and forth and her chocolate brown eyes staring at the ball as she rapidly moved closer and closer to the ball and then picked it up.
"Now, get over here and give me a big hug!" Mike told Michelle.
"I'm coming! I'm coming! I'm coming!" Michelle kept on yelling happily as she ran over to Mike and tackled him to the grass. "I'm here!" she happily said. Mike laughed and gave her a big wet kiss on the cheek.
"I'm so glad I get to spend the entire summer with you Mike!" Michelle chirped.
Mike grinned, saying, "I'm really happy that I get to spend every moment with the bestest little sister in the whole wide world! Speaking of which, why don't we go into the kitchen and get some of that Rocky Road!"
Michelle hopped up and down excitedly and grabbed Mike's hand. They got up off the ground and walked hand-in-hand inside the house.
After snacking on some ice cream, Mike walked to his room and decided to take a look out the window and admire the beautiful summer afternoon. Suddenly, Mike glanced at Zoey's house. He thought, "Whoa! I almost forgot! Me and Zoey's 5th anniversary is coming up soon! In fact, it's in a week! Going out for five years is a pretty important anniversary. I wonder what I'm going to do..."
He kept thinking and thinking. On their first anniversary, they just watched a movie at the theater together. On their second anniversary, they went to a dinner theater event. On their third anniversary, Mike played his guitar and sang a romantic love song to her in the night outside of her house. On their fourth anniversary, they just went for a romantic picnic in the park. This time, Mike wanted to make it special.
Suddenly, he had an idea. He decided to go for a little drive.
