I do not own Total Drama. This AU will deal with the friendship between Izzy, Eva and Noah, with some others like Owen and Cody later on. Also, NoCo, Owzzy, plus some other pairings in later chapters.

Eight-year-old Noah Desai stood alone on the playground. He was a skinny child, with brown eyes, brown, shoulder-length hair and a natural tan, being Indian-Cadandian. Normally he'd be reading a book adults would say was too advanced for him to understand, but Noah would, as he was a genius. However, for his first day of the third grade at a new school, his parents made him leave his books at home. They wanted him to be social. To have friends. Noah wouldn't really call himself shy nor lonely, since he had eight older siblings, but because of his intellect, he felt comfortable within a story than playing some dumb childish game.
However, today, Noah felt alone. Without his books, he didn't know what to do. Nobody really approached him, so he went over to the edge of the playground to sit and watch all the kids have fun. Fun Noah felt he was too smart to have. Little did he know, there were two kids watching him.
"Come on! He looks lonely! Let's play with him!" the redheaded girl said, excitedly.
"He looks like a wimp. And a dork." The taller girl with black hair said, crossing her arms.
"If he is, then our team will finally be complete!"
"What are you talking about, Izzy?"
"Team E-Scope! You know, Eva! I'm the leader, and you're the muscle. We just need the brains." Izzy said, still staring at the boy.
Eva sighed. E-Scope was what Izzy called herself, for whatever reason. Eva could never get an answer out of her. "He better be smart then. Cause you don't have any brains."
Izzy giggled maniacally and dragged Eva with her toward the boy.
Noah sat alone, daydreaming about the books he would read when he got the chance. He was so spaced out that he didn't notice two girls running up to him. He was finally brought back to reality by the redhead shaking him.
"HEY! You awake?!" she said, smiling like a madwoman.
"Give me a heart attack, why don't ya?" Noah quipped. He picked up sarcasm from his oldest brother. Noah found that he really enjoyed using it whenever he got the chance.
"What's your name?! I'm Izzy!" Izzy said, with barely any volume control.
"Noah, now please, leave me alone."
"Noah! I like that name. This is Eva. She's tough and mean!" Izzy said, giggling, despite Eva glaring at her.
"I don't have any lunch money." Noah assumed that was why they were here. "That buffoon in the black skull t-shirt already took it."
"Duncan? Yeah, he's an even bigger meanie than Eva." Izzy said. "And I don't want money. I want to know if you're smart."
"Why?" Noah asked, a bit creeped out because of this girl.
"Just tell us! She'll never leave you alone if you don't." Eva said, getting angry.
Noah sighed. He didn't even know these girls and yet they were annoying him. He decided to give in, in hopes they would leave him alone. "Yes, I'm very smart. Adults call me a genius."
"Awesome! Welcome aboard, Noah!" Izzy exclaimed.
"Welcome aboard...?" Noah questioned.
"Yep! Welcome to Team E-Scope! I'm E-Scope, the leader."
"I thought you were Izzy?" Noah asked, confused for the first time in his life.
"Get used to it, dork." Eva said, annoyed with Izzy again.
"Eva is the muscle, cause she's so tough! And you're the brains!"
"What if I refuse?" Noah asked, hoping they would go away.
"I'll tie you up and do bad things until you agree." Izzy said, with a darker tone and made even Eva a bit disturbed.
Noah could tell that she wasn't joking. Plus, he would get two friends without much effort on his part, so his parents could let him have his books back. "Okay, I'll join Team E-Scope." Noah just hoped he wouldn't regret this decision in the future.
I really love Team E-Scope. I never really liked Eva that much until that episode (I forget its name lol) and she works surprisingly well with Izzy's insanity and Noah's somewhat abrasive personality. Plus how she yelled at Noah to hurry up when he was taunting Duncan implied that she really was going to split the money with Izzy and Noah.
