Edit 4/3: The Teams has been changed and reorganized.
Twila stood at the edge of the dock and saw the yacht approach. On it were the twenty-two teens who had sent in the best audition tapes. Twila could not wait for this to happen all over again.
If there was one thing the Twila Brighton lived for, it was torturing teens by giving them the most brutal and life-threatening tasks EVER. And she knew that they'd be willing to do them, just to win 1,000,000 coins. The only three things he cared about were A) Getting paid. 2) The ratings stayed up. And D) That they avoided getting sued. As the yacht drew closer, Twila smiled her sly smile.
"This is going to be good." She said aloud as the boat approached. The boat pulled up alongside the dock, and the rope ladder dropped down. The first to climb down was a 16-year-old who was well-built and had black hair, and a confident smile on his face.
"Hello, uhhhhh…" Twila took out the picture of the twenty-two teenagers and searched for this one's face, which should have the name under it.
"…Luigi."
"Hey, Twila . I am SO ready for this! I can't wait to get started! I am ready to win that hundred grand!"
"Well, what an enthusiastic attitude." Twila looked back up at the yacht. The next one to come down was Daisy, who was also around sixteen. She was a tomboy. Her fingernails and toenails (she was wearing sandals) were painted in a sloppy manner and were ridiculously sparkly, even for nail polish. Her earrings were long, shiny, dangling ones that were probably overpriced. Her ginger hair was smooth and had a orange headband in it. She was wearing ridiculously fancy clothes and high heels.
"Ugh. That ride made me seasick. I hate boats!"
"Then you're sure as heck gonna stay away from the Boat of Losers, aren't ya?"
"Are you kidding? Not only because of that, but because I want that money. I'd go on a royal shopping spree with my mother! Like I don't need it, though. My boyfriend buy me everything I want. He's rich."
"So why do you need this 1,000,000 coins?"
"He felt that I haven't been earning my own money, so I figured I'd try this." Then, a suitcase was thrown after her. She tried to pick it up, but she couldn't.
"This thing is so heavy!"
"What's in there?"
"My makeup." She then opened up the suitcase to reveal all of the nail polish, lipstick, etc. She tried hard to move the suitcase. Then, she let out a shrill cry.
"AAAAA! I broke a nail!"
Twila decided to ignore her for now.
"OK, who's next?"
The next to come down the ladder was 17-year-old Toadsworth. He had light-brown, curly hair and glasses. In fact, he basically looked almost like Napoleon Dynamite. At the thought of this comparison, Twila had to quickly stifle a laugh.
"Hello, Napol…er, I mean Toadsworth . Welcome to Isle Delino. Why do you want the prize money?"
"I want the cash to drop out of school and fly away to Luminous Forest. What do you think?"
"Ummmm, O…K…"
The rest of the campers came down off the ladder and onto the dock with their luggage. There was Princess Shroob, the youngest, who was 13 and had purple hair that was fairly long, but not too short, either (it only went down far enough to cover half het ears).
The two features about this girl that Twila immediately noticed was A) the Bible she carried with her in her other hand, and B) her sunglasses. Each large, oval-shaped lens was very reflective. Anyone who looked into them while he was wearing them could see their own reflection.
"Hello, Princess Shroob. Welcome to Isle Delino ." Then Twila noticed her very reflective sunglasses.
"Um, excuse me just a minute." Twila then pulled out a small, lipstick with her face on it. She dipped the stick on her lips, then leaned close to Shroob's sunglasses, where she saw her own reflection, and started putting on lipstick.
"Believe me, I've seen that before." Princess Shroob said as she rolled her eyes (which went unseen, due to his sunglasses).
"My sunglasses are like mirrors, I know, but I don't mind. I let people use 'em as mirrors anyway. You're definitely not the first to try that, Twila."
"Interesting. But why do you let people do it? Doesn't it annoy you?"
"Not really."
"I see. There, all done." She stepped back and put the lipstick back in her pocket. "Thanks, Shroob."
"Anytime. My 'mirrors' are at your service." Shroob chuckled, then picked up her luggage, and walked over to the others.
Then Rosalina came down the ladder. Rosalina , who was sixteen, had long blonde hair, and a silver crown. She was apparently the co-captain of the cheerleader squad at her school, and was the 27 most popular person in her school (Twila didn't even bother asking what the meant).
Bowser was a serious bad boy. His long, black hair was tied up in a fairly short ponytail. He wore a black shirt with a blood-covered skull-and-crossbones. The shirt's sleeves were torn off, and he had the look of mischief in his eyes, as well as a look of, "Don't mess with me or I'll kill you." His pants sagged to just above his knees, revealing his black skull-and-crossbones boxers, similar to his shirt. He had several chain bracelets, and his nose, tongue, and eyelids were pierced. This boy instantly reminded Twila of Spewart from Dark Side. As he stepped onto the dock, he simply stared at Twila, cracked his knuckles, then slowly brushed past.
Peach was sixteen and had a headstrong personality. She looked fairly like Daisy, except a little skinnier. She had blonde hair, and was, according to her audition tape, the most popular girl in her school, although it really seemed like she simply intimidated people into saying she was popular. She certainly had the evil glare for it. In her audition tape, she said that she was in gymnastics, and apparently very good at it, as her demonstrations proved. So maybe she looked like Daisy, and had the skills and physical strength of Harrlet.
Seventeen years old, Yoshi was definitely the brainiac. He said that he excelled in all subjects, and he even showed off his report cards, which, in all subjects, read A. He had green hair and was considerably short for a 17-year-old.
Donkey Kong, who was fifteen, had a wide-eyed look and had brown-colored hair, was clearly the happy-go-lucky guy, in addition to Luigi. In his video, he had quite a friendly personality, and admitted that he could never win, but if he did, he would give all the money to charity.
Boo was clearly a Goth. He had long black hair that went below his ear lobes, and even covered his eyes. His lips were black. He had simple black clothes, and when Twila caught a brief glimpse into his suitcase, he merely saw black (the rest of his clothes, or a bottomless pit?). His pants had holes in the knees, and his hands were buried in his pockets.
Twila could not see the white of his eyes at all, but he knew that this one's stare must be quite blank. Boo, like Toadworth, simply sulked over to the others without even glancing at Twila (but who could tell where she was looking?).
Wendy O. Koopa was fifteen, had pink hair, and her eyes were glued to her cell phone. She jumped down the ladder, picked up her luggage, and with one hand, she rapidly pressed buttons as she sent text messages to her boyfriend, Tanooki Mario.
"So, uh, Wendy, I assume you want the money to pay off your cell phone bill?" Twila laughed. She expected her to retort with a sarcastic comment, and state the real reason she wanted the money, but to Twila's surprise, she did the opposite.
"Yeah. My parents are EXTREMELY pissed at me for spending so much time on my cell phone." She said without even taking her eyes off her phone.
"I knew I had to find a way to pay for all my time texting and talking all those hours. So I sent in my audition tape."
Twila grinned at the memory of that tape. In it, Wendy had demonstrated her ability to rapidly send as many text messages as possible in one minute, each one having to be at least 10 letters, and had to make sense, and she record was 267. She also boasted her record of how long she had once spent talking on her cell phone: 8 hours in a row.
Wendy, still texting, walked over to the others. Then Twila remembered something.
"Wait, um. Wendy? I think there's something I should tell you…"
Too late. Wendy suddenly let out a terrified scream.
"AAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH! WHAT HAPPENED? There must be some mistake!"
"What's the matter, Wendy?" Twila said, grinning.
"T-TH-THERE'S NO SERVICE HERE!"
"Oh, yeah. That's what I meant to tell you. There is absolutely zero cell phone service here at Isle Delino."
"But…But…But, I NEED my cell phone! I NEED my texting! I NEED it!"
"Sorry."
"GEEAARRGGHHH! I did not expect this when I sent in my audition tape!" The now-cell-phoneless Wrndy sulked over to the others.
Pauline, who was sixteen and had long, red hair, was next. She said that she needed the money so that she could afford a tutor (she apparently failed in most subjects). She also said that she had been the secretary for her school three years running (ironic, considering her academic skills).
And the teens continued coming. To save a really long explanation of all the others, there will instead be a simple rundown:
Honey Queen: seventeen years old; long, yellow/black hair, and had been editor of the school newspaper.
Kolorado: sixteen years old; short, blonde hair, and he loved to read, since he always had a good, long novel with him, as he did when he came down the ladder.
Wario: seventeen; long, brown hair, quite large, and he wanted the money to buy lots of junk food.
Mimi: fourteen; short, green hair, which was in a ponytail; was clearly a perfectionist. She believed in not just doing something, but doing something perfectly. Thus, she was great at both sports and grades. She wanted the 100,000 coins to add to her college fund, so that she could get into the best colleges in Wind Kingdom (her top choice being Wind University).
Flurrie: sixteen; long, blonde hair with a single red ribbon in it; in her tape, she established that she was the smartest girl in her grade. Despite this, she looked anything but nerdy. She was quite pretty, which, according to Flurrie, attracted a majority of the guys in her school.
Birdo: sixteen; long, pink-colored hair; and she thought that she was a good dancer, although in her audition tape, she had fallen flat on her face while trying to spin around on one foot.
Zess T: fourteen; black hair, also in a ponytail; and she had apparently been voted "Most Class Spirit" in her yearbook for several years in a row.
And Goomba: fifteen; short, brown hair; he was also fairly short (the shortest of the campers, as a matter of fact, second only to Mimi); and she was a member of the cheerleader squad. He wanted the money to buy his girlfriend lots of jewelry so that she would be the prettiest girl in thr school.
After all the campers had been introduced, Twila had them sit around the bonfire pit.
"Welcome, campers, to Dream Supreme! I assume you all have seen the spin-off season (Total Drama Mario), am I right?"
"Yes." Almost everyone responded, except for Goomba, who merely said, "Whatever," and Mimi, who said, "I guess so."
"So you all know the basic rules. You are all here for one reason, and one reason only: to win the 1,000,000 coins grand prize. Only one will remain standing after twenty-one weeks, and for each prize challenges, one team will win coin prizes into their vaults worth: 30,000 coins to 80,000 coins."
"Twenty-one weeks?" Daisy screeched.
"Yeah, well, I decided to extend the time to one episode per week, to give you guys more time here."
"Why?"
"Because I knew you guys would hate it. Anyway, we'll split you into two teams. When I call your name, come on up here. Princess Shroob, Mario, Wendy, Peach, Toadsworth, Rosalina, Honey Queen, Mimi, Luigi, Birdo, and Daisy."
The eleven she called all got up from their seats and walked over to where Twila was standing.
"You will be known as…" He then tossed a white sheet to them, and Princess Shroob caught it. Once she caught it, she let it unroll and reveal the picture that was crudely stitched in, that of a bear that appeared to be acting. "…the Drama Bears."
"Right on!" Mario cheered. Mario was clearly the jock type. He was 5 foot 11, and he often showed off his muscles (since his shirts all had the sleeves torn off).
In his audition tape, he had done some impressive feats, including a half-court shot in basketball, and knocking a baseball clear out of the field. He had brown hair, and often wore red wristbands and a red headband.
"All those that were not called, come stand over here." Twila gestured to the other side of the bonfire pit. Boo, Yoshi, Bowser, Flurrie, Kolorado, Waluigi, Pauline, Wendy, Goomba, DK, and Zess T all got up and walked over to the designated spot.
"You guys will be known as…" He tossed another sheet, which Waluigi caught and unrolled. Waluigi was fourteen and had a black, bowl-shaped hairdo. He also wore square sunglasses that you could see through more easily than most sunglasses (unlike Shroob's sunglasses).
In his video, he demonstrated his incredible karate skills, and that he was the best black belt in his class. The picture on the sheet was of a squirrel comfort people. "…the Comforting Squirrels. Alright, now follow me to the lodges." The two teams followed Twila to the two lodges.
"Drama get the East Lodge. Comfort get the West Lodge. The restrooms are right down there. You each have thirty minutes to unpack, then meet me at the main lodge for your first challenge. And your half-hour limit starts…" Twila looked at his watch. "…NOW!"
The two teams went into the cabins. Several of them were shocked to see merely bunk beds.
"Wow. Five bunk beds. How amazing." Luigi said when he saw them.
"Oh no! Not bunk beds! Anything but bunk beds! I hate bunk beds!" Daisy complained in the other cabin.
"Why?" Princess Shroob asked.
"I don't trust that they're built well. I'm always afraid that the top will come crashing down on the bottom, and that's bad for both people."
"I don't know. I always loved bunk beds." Princess Shroob replied.
"Besides, this is like a summer camp, you know. What, did you expect king-sized beds for each of us?" Rosalina said sarcastically.
"Yeah, and with electric blankets?" Mario chimed in.
"Guys, guys. Just chill out. Oh, I call a top bunk!" Princess Shroob then walked over to the nearest one and started unpacking. All the others followed suit.
In the other cabin, the attitude was somewhat the same.
"Well, this is gonna be fun." Yoshi said.
"I don't think it's that bad." Kolorado said.
"Well, we'd better unpack if we're gonna get to the main lodge in time." Wario then started to walk towards the bunk in the corner of the room. He was halfway there when he fell through the floor.
"Whoa!" He screamed as he plunged through the weak, old, rotted wood. Goomba, Flurrie, Boo, and Pauline ran to help pull him out. Pauline pulled, and, naturally, ended up flying backwards when she lost her grip. The other three managed to help him out. Goomba, who had merely watched the whole thing from the side, doubled over with laughter.
"Ow! Thanks, guys. I can't believe that just happened.
"How much do you weigh?" Yoshi asked.
"315."
Pauline nearly fainted.
"What?" The oblivious Wario asked.
"N-nothing." Yoshi stammered. The Comforting Squirrels then finished picking their bunks and unpacking mostly in silence, while a few of the campers conversed. Of course, Wendy in the other lodge continued complaining.
"Ugh! These floors are all dirty!
"Haven't these people heard of something called 'cleaning up'?
"These corners have spider webs in them!
"This bed is all creaky and loud!
"Where's the hot tub? The TV?"
The Drama Bears also continued unpacking, and both teams finished just in time for the end of the 30-minute period. Then the two teams all walked over to the main lodge, and lined up as Twila instructed them to.
"Alright campers! I assume you have all chosen your beds, finished unpacking, and made yourselves comfy."
" 'Comfy' is hardly the word I would use for this disgusting place!" Rosalina screeched.
"Anyway, this is the main hall. This is where you will eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner here, and you will often have meetings or receive your next task here. First off, your very first meal here at Isle Delino. Since it's 1:17, this is considered lunch, so enjoy Chef very own hand-made meal. Oh, I almost forgot. This is Chef/Co-Host Brighton ." Twila gestured to the large man standing next to her. Brighton had orange and yellow hair, a mustache, and sun-shaped pin.
"He will cook all your meals, and assist me in antagonizing you all for the next twenty-one weeks. So what's on the menu today, Brighton?"
"I made my very own Sticky Sun Sandwiches." He held up an example. The bread was orange , and between the two slices of orange bread was a thin slice of pale yellow cheese. No one dared to ask what it was made of. "Line up and come get it."
"What if we don't want it?" Wendy asked.
"Then you get nottin' to eat for the next five hours. Now come get it now, or starve."
Everyone lined up to get the food. In addition to the sandwich, there was a carton of milk.
The only ones who didn't get any food was Daisy, Pauline, and Toadsworth (these turned out to be the lucky ones). The first one to take a bite was Luigi. He chewed slowly, and chewed some more. And chewed and chewed and chewed and chewed and chewed and chewed and chewed. He didn't stop chewing.
"So, how is it?" Shroob, who was sitting next to him, asked.
"Mmmm."
"Was that a 'yes'?"
"Mmmmmmm."
"Oh, I think he said 'no'."
"MMMMMMMMMM."
"Wow. He must hate it."
"Tho!" He said, his mouth still full.
Wendy, who sat across from him, said, "Ewww. That's disgusting! Just swallow it if you want to talk!"
"Tho! I cath thwallow ith!"
"Huh?" Wario asked.
"I think he said…" Toadsworth started.
"Thith stuth ith impothible to thwallow!"
"I think he says that he can't swallow it." Princess Shroob translated.
"Ith thicky!"
"Oh. It's sticky! That's why he can't swallow it. That explains the name 'Sticky Sun Sandwiches.' "
Luigi ripped open his milk and tried to wash it down, but he simply spewed the milk all over the table. A single drop landed on Wendy, and she freaked out.
"EWWWWW That is disgusting! I've got boy germs now!"
"Augh! Thith milth ith horrible! It muth be…" He looked at the carton. "Oh my goth!" He held the carton to Kolorado. Kolorado looked at the expiration date.
"Oh my gosh! This milk expired in August of 2005!"
Mario looked at Brighton. "Why would you serve us stuff you can't even swallow? Or milk that's four years since spoiled?"
" 'Cause I feel like it. You got a problem with that?" He gave him a brutal stare.
Mario was frozen solid.
Needless to say, no one else dared to touch their food or milk. And poor Luigi finally managed to rip out the sticky food by shoving his shoe in his mouth and scraping it out.
When lunch hour was over, Twila said to the campers, "Alright campers. You've had your very first meal at Isle Delino. Now it's time for your first challenge in the race for the 1,000,000 coins prize. Everyone follow me." All the campers followed Twila out of the lodge and towards the lake.
"Oh man! I'm not too sure about this guys." Goomba said worriedly.
"I just hope it doesn't have anything to do with that 1,000-foot mountain!" Rosalina exclaimed.
