"Hair perfect? Check." The narrator speaks, as the camera zooms out and hovers over the island. On one section, it's covered by dark clouds as occasional bright lights suggest lightning. In another, is a sun hovering over the section, as it looks like a dessert wasteland. Another has a dark cloud hovering as snow drift to the ground. The final is a heavily forested area with wind so powerful, the trees are blowing like a flag, or wind chimes, as the leaves blow off. "Clothes neat?! Check." the voice continued.
The camera zooms into a dock where a teen stands, his arms raised, a smile upon his perfect and handsome face.
"My name is Topher! And I am replacing old man Mcclean as host for this season! If the wonderful execs like me, i might stick around. Won't you enjoy seeing me rather than grandpa Mcclean?" Topher grinned and his teeth shined from how white they were.
"Eighteen new fresh meat fight for a chance to win a million dollars! Me and your esteemed Chef Hatchet will torture them every step of the way! This island, though. As you can clearly see isn't normal! Depending on their preferences we will either place them in blistering heat, unbearable cold, dangerous winds, or drenching rainshowers, isn't that fun? I am already doing better than Chris!" Topher was pacing the dock, as the camera followed him closely. The camera then cuts to an igloo, a treehouse, a cabin, and a ten person tent. "Which do you think is the most evil? Vote in the reviews!" Topher winked and smiled. "A freezing igloo, a treehouse that shakes violently, a cabin with holes in the roof, or a tent in blistering heat! Don't worry, i am not entirely heartless. There are sleeping bags." Topher's voice over was heard.
"Topher, they're here." The camera cut back to Chef walking to Topher.
The camera turns to see a boat heading to the dock.
"Meet the contestants! One by one! Don't worry, i'll get to all of ya." Topher's voice is heard.
A girl with a smile steps off the boat, she has brown eyes, brunette hair, and a gentle smile, she is slim and has no earrings or makeup on.
"Hello, Topher!" The girl walks up and extends her hand.
"I don't accept handshakes from the meat." Topher shrugged and grinned. "Welcome, Lily."
"I am happy to be here, Topher." Lily smiles and walks away from him.
Next, a tall, heavily muscled guy walks off the boat. He has a scruff where his beard is beginning to form. He is holding a snowboard and has skiing goggles around his neck.
"Man, I am so pumped for this!" The contestant cracks his knuckles.
"Welcome, Ralph." Topher put his hands in his pocket.
"Please tell me there will be at least one cute guy here." Ralph leaned close to Topher to whisper it.
"Hey!" Topher pulled away. "Go stand by Lily."
Ralph folded his arms across his broad chest and walked off camera.
Next off the boat was a small teen, who was skinny as a twig. He had a clean shaven face and head, and a shirt with a star trek symbol on it.
He gulped as he approached Topher.
"H-hello, sir." The new kid muttered and stammered.
"Hello, Nova." Topher grinned. "Quiet kid I see."
"Y-yes, sir. Sorry!" Nova bowed his head and, then...
Time seemed to slow down. Topher was speaking but romantic music was preventing the words from being processed. Nova slowly looked up at the other two teens, and his eyes laid on Ralph. His heart was beating so rapidly it was heard over the music. Ralph looked at him and raised one hand in a hello. Nova quickly turned away as his cheeks glowed red.
"Nova!" Topher's voice broke the music and Nova quickly turned back to him. "Go stand with the other rejects!"
"Yes, sir!" Nova walked off and the camera followed him as he stood beside Lily, so hes away from Ralph.
Next, a girl walked off, she had short red hair, that is shaved on one side, and was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt. She has a rash on her neck and is looking down, self cautiously.
"Welcome, Max." Topher smiled. "We picked you based on your SO and your circumstances."
"What's an SO?" Lily called from off screen.
"Sexual Orientation." Max answered with a soft smile. "I'm transgender and bi."
"That's cool." Lily looked down, slightly ashamed.
"Umm... I'm gay!" Nova exclaimed suddenly.
"Me too." Ralph spoke and smiled.
"I'm straight." Lily giggled.
"Go stand with them." Topher spoke.
"Alright." Max smiled weakly and walked over, standing by Nova.
Next, an african american, black mid length hair. A blue jean jacket, with a lavender t shirt, a sky blue skirt, and green ankle boots.
"Hey!" She smiled brightly, and almost tackled Topher in a hug.
"Hands off the merchandise, dude!" Topher growled, as the camera zoomed in on his angry face.
"Sorry, dude!" She giggled and straightened her jacket.
"Welcome here, Diane." Topher motioned to the others as Diane joined them.
A boy of average height, with brown chestnut hair, and a black shirt, the words "Go with the flow" written on it walked on next. The camera zoomed in on his face as he smiled at the camera and winked.
"Hey, Dude." The guy walked up to Topher.
"Welcome, Gabe." Topher nodded and smiled brightly.
"Hows it going, my man." Gabe spoke, with a smile.
"amazing! Got this awesome show, wonderful hair..." Topher grinned. "Go join the others."
Time seemed to slow down as the next contestant exited... A girl of average height, victorian boots, and an amazing body, she has a beautiful dress on.
Gabe's mouth gaped open as the camera showed the contestants in awe of her beauty. She looked at them.
"Uh, you okay, guys?" She giggled lightly.
"Melissa, welcome." Topher smiled. "Ignore them, they are in awe of your beauty."
"Will there be singing this season, Topher?" Melissa asked.
"Maybe, if I am feeling generous." Topher shrugged. "Join them."
Melissa smiled and walked to the group.
"Hi!" Diane extended her hand.
"Hello!" Melissa smiled and shook her hand.
"Hope we are on the same team." Diane smiled.
"Me... Me too." Melissa giggled.
A girl of average height was next, she had odd snow white hair, with bright eyes. She has a black beanie on. Silver hi-tops on, and a silver jacket.
She adjusted her beanie and smiled nervously.
"uh... Hello." She waved nervously.
"Hi, Silver." Topher greeted her.
"Hah.. I see where you got your name." Max chuckled.
"Oh... Sorry." Silver looked down.
"Be nice." Ralph gently elbowed Max.
"Go stand with the others." Topher ordered, and as Silver joined the others, Topher turned to the camera.
"we aren't done yet! Join us after the commercial break for the rest! On... Total... Drama... Season!" Topher raised his arms and laughed.
:: ::
"Welcome back! Now for the next contestants." Topher greeted them as the camera turned back on.
A girl with red hair, and green eyes walked out, she had a jean jacket on and jeans.
"Welcome, Jane." Topher smiled.
"Umm... Yeah, whatever." Jane shrugged and joined the others without another word.
Next, a boy in a green tracksuit, he had black hair with green eyes. He was throwing a football up and down.
"Hello, Topher." He smiled. "Everyone should prepare to lose, to me."
"doubt it." Jane growled.
"Trevor, just go stand with them." Topher sighed.
"Of course, boss man." Trevor smiled, and walked to the others.
A girl walked off next, she was pale with a shirt of an anime character on it. She had a portable game device in her hand, that she was stuffing into her bag.
"Hey! I know you!" Nova suddenly piped up. "I... Uh... Nevermind."
"No, speak." Trevor looked at Nova, confused.
"She is on youtube." Nova mumbled. "I watch her all the time, i love anime and cosplay..."
"Me too!" Ralph smiled at him.
"Hehe..." Nova turned away.
"Then you know my name." the girl bowed. "Victoria."
"Pretty name." Gabe smiled.
"not here for romance." Victoria shrugged. "Here to get the money and go to Japan to find my dad."
"neither am i." Gabe shrugged. "Got a girl back home. Daphne."
"Great." Victoria smiled and walked to the others.
"Well, that was easy." Topher chuckled.
Next was a girl, a short girl, who had a stern look to her. She walked to Topher and shook his hand forcefully.
"Ow!" Topher pulled away.
"What a jerk." Trevor chuckled.
"Got something to say?" The girl smirked.
"Maya, just go stand by them... Ow that hurt." Topher rubbed his hand and Maya stood beside Trevor.
A man walked out of the boat and smiled, he walked with a short of swagger. He smiled and put his arms behind his head.
"Hello." He greeted the contestants but when his eyes landed on Melissa and Jane and Diane, his mouth opened a bit. "Didn't know the cuties were already here..."
"Cool it, horn dog." Jane growled.
"Hey its a compliment!" Diane giggled and blushes softly.
"I... Uh have a boyfriend." Melissa looked at the boy.
"Oh, that's cool i guess." The boy shrugged.
"Ethan, go join the others." Topher ordered.
"of course." Ethan smiles and did as told.
"Who the heck is that!?" Gabe exclaimed.
"Okay, even i don't find her cute." Ethan mumbled.
The camera went from the contestants to the new one, a girl who is tall, very pale, with a lot of dark make up, red lipstick, and purple hair, shaved on the left. The hair goes to lilac tips. Her eyes are green and the only noticably cute thing about her is her freckles.
"Got something to say?" She walked up to Ethan and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
"Yo! Go with the flow..." Gabe tried to coax her down.
"Veronica, don't kill the contestant yet." Topher ordered.
Veronica let go and glared at Gabe.
"Thanks, man..." Ethan mumbled as Gabe helped him up, he had fallen to his knees as she released him.
Next, a girl with a notebook and pen walked off the boat. Black hair tied in a ponytail, tan skin, pink camisole, blue jeans and pink high tops.
"Hello, Topher." She smiled. "You were amazing on Pahkitew. Gone too soon!"
"Well, thank you." Topher smiled.
"My name is Julia, you guys." She smiled and waved. Only Ethan and Gabe waved back. "Tough crowd."
She joined the others and sighed heavily, being surrounded by shy or rude people.
Next, a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes stepped out. He was wearing a leather jacket, with sunglasses around his neck. He had jeans and sports sneakers on.
"hey, Chris 2.0." He grinned.
"I'm NOTHING like that old man!" Topher growled.
"Yo, chill. You aren't as good as him either." The boy grinned.
"Go! Now! Before I send Chef on you!" Topher ordered, and the camera cut to Chef's sick grin, as he held a spaghetti launcher.
"Uh... I'll go to them now." The boy chuckled and walked to them. "Name's Jake by the way."
Next, a boy with curly black hair walked out, a bandana around his neck. He had a jacket and jeans.
He smiled and looked at everyone. "Hello, names Shawn."
"Hello!" Diane smiled back.
"Welcome, Shawn. Go to them." Topher ordered him.
"The final contestant..." Topher began.
The last one, was a tall man with broad shoulder, and a buzz cut haircut. He had a sleeveless shirt on, and shorts, with combat boots. He had his hands behind his back.
"Welcome, Adam." Topher smiled.
"You love your hair i heard." Adam began.
"Very much." Topher smiled proudly.
Suddenly, Adam pulled a water bottle out from behind him and twisted it, he had a sick grin on his face. As he let go, the water bottle untwisted rapidly and the cap shot out and smacked Topher in the face as a jet of water hit his face, causing him to stumble back off the dock into the lake.
"Holy..." Ralph gasped.
"nice one, dude!" Jake grinned and laughed.
Adam bowed and winked at the girls.
"Guys..." Gabe mumbled.
"Sharks!" Julia exclaimed.
Shark fins were circling where Topher was floating, as it went to an aerial view of the dock as Ethan, Gabe, Julia, Shawn, and Diane ran to Tophers aid.
"Go for a swim and assist him." Jake chuckled as he gently pushed Gabes back so he fell in too
"hey! Thats dangerous!" Shawn glared.
"Help them, boy." Adam grinned.
"You won't get away with this!" Gabe growled and grabbed Diane's hand as her and Julia pulled him out.
Shawn and Ethan pulled Topher out, who scowled at Jake and Adam.
"What's their problems?" Nova mumbled.
"Beats me." Ralph shrugged.
"Meet me by the center of the island, Chef will show the way, i gotta dry off." Topher scowled.
"Come here, meat." Chef scowled and lead all the contestants away.
:: ::
After a while of waiting and chatting, Topher returned.
"So, Lily... Got a special someone back home?" Max asked.
"Nope! I'm a lone wolf." Lily smiled.
The camera pans to Ethan chatting with Diane, inaudible dialogue, then to Nova and Ralph, then to Veronica and Maya. Then Adam and Jake and Jane sitting beside eachother on the far end.
"i took the liberty of choosing the teams out of a hat. When i call your names go stand on the left side of the seats." Topher smiled. "First... Lily, Ralph, Gabe, Nova, Silver, Melissa, Victoria, and Shawn." The camera cut to each of them as their names were called. Nova smiled brightly when he was on the same team as Ralph. "You are the Growling Gerbils."
"Gerbils growl?" Nova asked, and shrugged.
"According to our experts, they do." Topher shrugged.
"Aren't the total drama 'experts' always wrong though?" Lily asked.
"Shut it!" Topher growled.
"Next, the rest of you - Diane, Max, Trevor, Ethan, Adam, Jake, Maya, Veronica, Julia, and Jane." Topher spoke. "You are the... Amazing Antellope!"
"Least I am with the cool guys." Jane grinned, and looked at Adam and Jake.
"Whats the first challenge, dude?" Gabe asked.
"Chef!" Topher ordered, and Chef, in his pink dress that made all the contestants avert their eyes, wheeled up a spinning wherl that had four sections, one was white and filled with snow, one had a sun on it, one had wind, and the last had a rain cloud.
"Ahh, you're just jealous." Chef spoke when Jake laughed at his outfit.
"No, we are sick." Veronica grumbled.
"Now, spin it Chef." Topher ordered and Chef spun the wheel with all his might. "Wherever it lands determines our challenge area. Winter, summer, fall, or spring..."
Topher, then turns to the camera. "Contestants at home! Vote for the challenge area you wish to see first! And it will happen! Which friendships will blossom, which love will grow, which rivalries will grow and what drama will happen? See it next time on... Total... Drama... Season!"
The credits then began to roll as the first episode draws to a close...
