Author's Note: I have an OC, who hosts a TV show and she's sadistic and manipulative. I thought she'd mesh with Chris really well. I had to change a few things around about her because she has green hair and yellow skin…
I changed her around a lot, so she's only got the same name, Lena (Lenalia) Greene. She's just your average tree-hugger! Who is 18!! Because pedophilia is wrong.
My first TDI fic, so don't be too harsh! Also, I use flames to roast marshmallows, so flame away!
Enjoy!

Lena wandered the empty forest, closing her eyes in blithe, soaking in the wonderful aspects of nature that was here on Total Drama Island.
Sure, the idea was all for commercialism and the island was probably going to be destroyed once the show got cancelled, but it was a true beauty and Lena wasn't going to let anything bring her down.
She opened her eyes and looked around at all the different color greens on the trees, all of the flowers, all of the animals- how everything blended together like a painting. It was true paradise.
There weren't enough words to express how much Lena loved nature and the Earth. Others called her tree-hugger, and it's true, she would hug a tree any day of the week.
Lena walked around some, bending down to smell the flowers and to let the grass peek in between her bare-foot feet. She sniffed a flower, careful not to rip its gentle stem.
"Man, this place is the best," she murmured to herself. Lena got up, and without dusting her jeans off she walked some more. Lena softly pushed away some brush and walked into the woods. She heard a twig snap in the distance and looked around confused.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" Lena called out.
CONFESSION CAN
"Okay…Weird…" Lena looked around suspiciously.
"No?" a voice deep inside the forest replied precariously.

Chris Maclean was the manipulative and sadistic host of Total Drama Island. Sometimes, that was a lot to live up to. Chris could never show how he really felt; he had to leave that up to the campers.
What he did for ratings…
And the worst part about it all? Every single last camper was underage. It was like the network was teasing him. They're probably laughing in his face right now.
So, not only is Chris stuck on a deserted island with a bunch of underage whiny teenagers, but his only company is a hatchet-wielding chef who cooks the crappiest food this side of the universe. A lot to be jealous of, right?
In order to escape some of his problems, Chris had ventured into the forest to clear his mind.
CONFESSION CAN
"As long as no one catches me here, I'm fine. It's not like people wander the forest for fun or anything," Chris said.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" a soft, feminine voice asked.
Shit. Chris mentally berated himself. He had forgotten about the crazy tree-hugger who came out to the woods every day.
"No?" Chris replied, scrambling, trying to leave.
"Chris?" Lena said skeptically.
"That's my name," Chris muttered.
"Wh-What are you doing here?" Lena asked, trying to hide her smile.
When Lena came to island, she didn't like Chris one bit. He was cruel, and he seemed to get pleasure out of the campers' misery. He was obnoxious and rude, too. That all changed and she saw Chris in a new light, just recently.
Lena had no idea what, but something had forced her to take another look at Chris. This time, she realized under that TV show host mask, Chris really was a nice guy. That's when she started falling for him- falling for him hard. Lena managed to hide her crush, but still got that warm and fuzzy feeling whenever she saw Chris.
"I'm uh- I'm-" the normally eloquent Chris stuttered, trying to think of an excuse.
"You're looking for an area to set up our next challenge?" Lena smirked, with a glint her eye.
"How'd you know?" Chris asked her, smiling for a reason beyond him.
Lena's stomach flopped and she felt a blush coming on.
"Because I'm cool like that," Lena answered, laughing.
"Hey, don't tell anyone I was here, please?" Chris asked her nicely.
Lena was flabbergasted. Chris had actually been nice for a second. And to her of all people…
"Alright," Lena agreed. "But stop being nice, it's starting to creep me out," Lena giggled.
Chris just closed his eyes and lightly laughed.
"I think we ought to go back. Everyone's probably wondering where you are," Lena advised.
"Eh," Chris shrugged. "I need to stop by my cabin before dinner, but I'd love some company," his hands were in his pockets.
"Sure!" Lena said excitedly. "I mean, cool," she corrected herself, smiling the whole way.
The two of them hiked back to Chris's cabin together. Lena looked at the expansive, glass roofed, three-story cabin.
"That's your cabin?" she asked.
"Impressive, huh?" Chris grinned.
"No, not really. It looks like a waste of energy and power," Lena replied honestly.
"Well, it functions mostly on solar power," Chris told her as he took his keys from his pocket and unlocked the door. "You wanna come in?" he asked Lena after some debate with himself.
"I actually have to get back," Lena answered. "It was really nice talking to you, though."
"Wait," Chris reached for her arm as she turned away.
"Yeah?" Lena asked.
"Never mind," Chris shook his head before taking out his keys and unlocking his cabin so he could go inside.
Lena stood there, grinning. After a few moments, she skipped away happily. She twirled her shoulder-length brunette hair before walking into her cabin.
"Lena! I was wondering where you'd run off to," Bridgette greeted her friend.
"Just exploring," Lena sat down on her bunk. "Has the dinner bell rung yet?"
"Nah," Bridgette answered. "I'm gonna go surf some, see ya later!"
Bridgette picked up her board and left the cabin. Lena lay down on her bed, thinking about her encounter with Chris. It wasn't much, but Chris rarely talked to her, let alone one-on-one without other campers around.
There was a knock at her cabin door and Lena got off her bunk. Usually people just barge into the cabin.
I wonder who's knocking… Lena opened the door.
"Chris?" she raised an eyebrow/ I thought he was at his cabin. What's he doing here? Not that I'm unhappy he's at our cabin.
"I wanted to show you something," Chris shoved his hands down his pockets.
"Cool," Lena stepped out of the cabin.
"When's dinner?" Owen walked up to Chris and asked him.
"Dude! Why do you ask me that every day? It doesn't change!" Chris yelled.
"Oh, right!" Owen walked away.
"Retard," Chris mumbled under his breath.
"Chris?" Lena reminded.
"Come on," Chris slipped his hand into hers and led her towards the woods.
CONFESSION CAN
"AHHHHH!!!!" Lena squealed. "CHRIS IS HOLDING HANDS WITH ME!!!"
"Where are we going?" Lena asked him.

"Whoa," Duncan and Geoff said at the same time. They were walking towards their cabin and saw Chris and Lena holding hands and laughing.
"Is that what I think it is?" Duncan asked.
"Dude! Even Chris has a girl!" Geoff exclaimed.
"Shh!" Duncan whispered. He motioned for Geoff to follow Chris and Lena with him.
--
"Are we there yet?" Lena asked.
"Has anyone ever told you that you ask too many questions?" Chris retorted.
"Sorry," Lena shrugged.
"Okay," Chris said. "We're here."
"Wow," Lena soaked in the beauty of the clearing. There was a small waterfall and giant rocks looked like they had been specially placed in each spot. Flowers of every color and size were everywhere. In the back, there was an array of trees. The two of them were seated on the biggest rock that overlooked the waterfall.
"Wow," Lena reiterated. "When did you find this, Chris?"
"It's been here all along. The network wanted me to- never mind," Chris shook his head.
"You can tell me," Lena put her hand on his shoulder. She scooted closer to him as he did the same. In no time, Chris and Lena were so close together, they could feel each other's breath. Chris leaned closer to her and kissed Lena softly.

"Go Chris!" Geoff cheered.
CONFESSION CAN
"Nice Chris! I knew you had it in you!" Geoff rooted.
CONFESSION CAN
"Now, if only if Court would lighten up like that," Duncan said thoughtfully.
"SHH!" Duncan whispered harshly. "Let's go."
--
Lena broke away. "I-I-"
"You're really good," Chris complemented her.
"Thanks," Lena blushed profusely. "I have to go," she said hurriedly before leaving.
CONFESSION CAN
"AAAAHHHH!!!" Lena squealed even louder than the first time.

That night at dinner, Chris had a goofy grin the whole time. It was starting freak everyone out.
"Chris is smiling WAY too much," Lindsay whispered to Heather.
"So?" Heather scoffed. "The happier he is, the easier the challenges. Simple," Heather smiled smugly.
--
"Lena," Chris whispered to her as she was throwing her trash away.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks," he thanked her.
"For what?" Lena inquired.
"For everything," Chris replied. "I'd be ready for tomorrow's challenge," he winked at her before leaving.
Lena just stood there, with a silly smile on her face.
