Total Drama Oceans- Episode 1: We'll Go Around the World if You Stop Que-begging For it! -Part 1

Disclaimer: I do not personally own the rights to the Total Drama franchise, nor to its contents or its characters. Such rights belong to Tom McGillis and Jennifer Pertsch. Fan characters belong to noted people and myself.

Note: Since this chapter is a whole new start for a new season, it definitely won't feel like most (especially the couple last) chapters of Total Drama Charge. I have to introduce the cast here, there are a lot of people I can focus on and not a lot can happen in the first episode because of these reasons. Also, spoiler alert: but this season will actually be 21 episodes long without specials, since I couldn't bring myself to eliminate someone by the end of this first episode, and couldn't do much without adding a lot more words. Check at the end of the chapter for grammatically correct versions of Abel-Carlos's sentences.

''Coming live at you from Québec city comes the seventh season of everyone's fan favorite, hottest reality show!''

The sun shined high in the sky and brightly over the European styled Francophone town, illuminating its multicolored roofs and rock pavements. Its Old Port was shown from up above, as the camera flew over the city and zoomed over to Red, who was now wearing different clothes than in the last season. His clothing attire now consisted of: 1-his trademark sunglasses; 2-long dark-blue jeans with white socks and black classy shoes, and 3-a black, short-sleeved shirt underneath a light grey suit vest with long sleeves. He had spiky brown hair, dotted eyes and a square jaw with a prominent chin. His teeth looked whiter than snow on the mountain's top.

"We are walking live in Québec city's port, but don't worry, we'll soon board this season's boat, which is yet to have a name! Let's meet our contestants, shall we?'' He asked charismatically to the camera. ''-We'll start by the Favorites, in alphabetical order… First up is… Soldier Boy Brick! Glad to see you back, and welcome to the new season!

-Very glad to be here, sir! The events of the Reunion special have been a bit hard on the others and me, but I believe one thing's for sure: we're ready to fight on the battlegrounds of competition again!'' He saluted Red. ''-What are your orders now, Red sir?

-Please just call me Red. You can go stand over there, on the dock next to the ship,'' he pointed. Brick did as instructed, the host introduced another contestant. ''Surfer Girl Bridgette! What uuuup?'' He asked, sticking his tongue out and doing the devil's horns finger gesture. She walked to him with a surfboard in her hands.

-Heyy! Nothing much, I guess. But man, this cruise ship is gonna be the perfect place for me to practice my surf moves and ride the waves!'' She smiled while looking at the boat. ''Does it have a name?

-The boat? Nah, not yet- but don't worry, we'll talk about it later.

-Okay.'' Bridgette went to stand by Brick's side, initiating a small conversation with him.

''-Next up for the favorites… We have Geeky ''Ladies man'' Cody!''

He walked towards the giant cruise ship's given dock while keeping his hands in his pockets, vaping from an e-cigarette and wearing dirty, fully black sunglasses, trying too hard to be cool. When he came to Red, he shook his hand manlily. Red's face was deformed for a second, as he appeared to be disgusted by the short guy's entrance. He slapped the electronic cigarette out of his hand, which made it fall in the ocean water below.

''-No smoking on board, Codemeister!

-But Red,'' he protested, ''it's just a vape, you know? There's no risk for me to hurt myself with it, and no way for me to burn the ship with it, so why are you so scared?

-Kids show.'' Was the host's simple answer. ''Or rather, family show, but that doesn't matter now. Stop trying to act cool and go join the others, please.

-That was a tad bit rude, Red,'' a feminine voice whispered in his back. He jumped in the air, letting out a high-pitched scream of fear.

''-AAAAHH! Dawn, The Nature Moonchild, ladies and gentlemen! Could you please stop doing that, levitating without a ''woosh'' and pretty much, almost teleporting yourself behind people's backs? For the love of cheese, please!

-Don't worry, I'm off to join the others.'' She declared with full honesty. ''I will not levitate later. nor will I get out of my body to become a celestial body.

-You what?

-I am 20 years old, Red.1 I had time to learn new powers since last season, and even more since Revenge of the Island.'' She walked to the others. ''Nice to interact with you again, everyone!''

Red tried to smile awkwardly. He always found the moonchild to be a little weird, but he cleared his throat, then shrugged his shoulders before continuing.

''The next person to join us for this exciting competition is Crazy Ginger Izzy!''

She came running down the brick stairs close by and somehow managed to slip on them, despite the fact that they were not wet and her shoelaces were tied. She fell on the stair's middle guardrail and held her crotch as she teeth-clutched her arms, in deep pain. She flew off the guardrail and directly unto the water next to the ship while screaming: ''Hey everyooooone!'' She then proceeded to swim to the cruise boat and climbed it all the way to its highest points- all in mere seconds. On the very top of the boat, she let everyone know she was now a pirate: ''Yaar! Look at me, I'm a pirate, Ahahahahaaa!'' She jumped from the ship's top to its deck, then proceeded to run and roll to the nearest pool, ripping her clothes off. People watched and experienced many different emotions as she swam naked: Cody smiled and covered his crotch, Dawn's eyes widened, Brick saluted her and said she wasn't capable of swimming 20 laps in a row, Bridgette looked weirded out- she looked away.

''And… that was a very weird but fitting introduction, if I ever saw one. Next up: Survival Giant Aussie Jasmine!

-Oy mates, glad to be 'ere again! I'm ready to sharpen my survival skills even more this time around.'' She said. She then just walked over to the cast without any other words.

''-Wow! After a crazy intro, we got a short one. Anywho, let's welcome Ditzy Blonde Princess Lindsay!''

She tip-toed to him, wearing brand new, dark blue colored heels and a copper-brown leather bag, strapped to her shoulders. She blew kisses to the cameras, almost tripped, readjusted her skirt so her butt wasn't visible and walked to Red. He asked her: ''How does it feel to be back on the show after your short run in All Stars?

-Oh to be honest, Dead, I don't recall that season that much. I know I haven't been the best at this game, but I'm ready to prove how good I can be!'' She started walking away, searching for something in the distance. ''Right after I find this ship we're supposed to be on.

-Lindsay, it's on the other side!'' Red called out, laughing. ''-But please join the others before doing anything else. We'll get to the ship later. ''Oh, and here comes Bookworm Know-it-all Noah! And… he's already gone and by the other's side.'' Noah read a huge book with a red, rigid cover as he joined his fellow favorites.

''The Original TD Winner is also here to join us this season: Owen!'' Red pointed at the large blonde guy. ''-What is cooking, big guy?

-Haha!'' Owen chuckled happily, fist-bumping Red and cheering on. ''Woo-hoo! I'm so… fwasked to be here, man! It's like, pumped, but really at a bigger level. I'm fwasked, and I hope you all are too- and man I'm happy to see all of my buddies back! Noah, Izzy, Cody, Bridgette, Lindsay… Feels good to see you all again, in all honesty! I'm gonna win this season for the Favorites, and prove that I still have it in me! I never lost the power and talents I had back in Camp Wawanakwa, and that's why I'm keeping them with me for this whole thing! Woohoo! Thanks again for hosting, Red!'' He went to join all of the other Favorites.

-No problemo, Owen-o! But now, I'd like to introduce you all to our fan contestants! The…

-Wait, wait! What about me!'' A high male voice yelled out, coming out from the water. ''There's only 9 favorites now, Red, can't you count?

-Oh right, here comes- last but not least… Scott, The Devious Funnyman!

-Thank you!'' Scott exclaimed, pulling himself out of the water and taking his shirt off in order to dry it. ''Feels good to be here.

-Um…''Lindsay pointed to him. ''Mott, why were you in the water?

-It's not Mott, my name's Scott! And it was just to take the mud off my clothes, you know?'' He looked at the people (everyone) judging him. ''Yes, I still eat mud, but it doesn't matter nor do anything, okay?'' He slipped on the now-wet floor under him and fell on his face, almost grunting a very small ''Ouchie.''

''And now, as I was saying before dirt boy came here… the fans have arrived! I'll just introduce them in alphabetical order, and then let some of them make the first confessionals of the season, so they'll be able to introduce themselves, alright HERE THEY COME!''

The 10 Fans contestants came in full camera view, rushing towards the Favorites; some seemed to be in a state of complete ecstasy as they watched over those they would go again the season. Red named them in alphabetical order, which was also the order in which they were running.

''He's the oldest contestant in Total Drama history… Abel-Carlos, The Grumpy Old Man!'' A tan, Latino looking, aged man came forwards. He run as fast as he could with a bit of help of his cane, but he also used it to keep all the other fans behind him, not wanting them to come forwards and steal his intro. He wore a tight black beret over the scarce grey hair that remained on his head, a light toned yellow shirt, as well as black strap pants and a dark-green, orange dotted bowtie. He forced himself to smile, widening his small dotted eyes and showing the little amount of teeth that was still anchored in his mouth's gums. He spoke with a weird, but thick Spanish accent: ''Ai en pleezed tô bee here, and I rhope I can eshow the world what I em oll abawt.2

-I'm sorry, but I think I'm gonna have trouble understanding what this guy says this season,'' Red whispered to the camera.

''-Côme on, eet wonnt bee dat rhard! Laiten op, maggeut!''3 Was the old man's answer to the host's comment.

''Franziska, The Mom!'' Red announced. She was a medium height woman with dark orange hair that gave her a flaming look, and deep, forest green eyes. She wore a blue dress that had white flowers on it, a long marine blue skirt and many classy looking accessories, such as a red pearl necklace and white, diamond-shaped earrings. The accent she took while talking was a balanced mix between German and British ones. Despite already being in her 40s, her nice looking clothes, thin waist and good features made her quite attractive. Her smile showed full white teeth as she said ''Ya! Glad to be here, Red! I will be the diplomat for my team, and also a mom figure! '' and her high-heel shoes echoed on the ground. She was pushed aside by the next contestant.

''Janie, The Lumber Jill!'' Janie was a tall and slender girl with long black hair, brown eyes. She wore a red flannel trapper hat, as well as a T-shirt with a coyote brown ''Flint and Co Logging'' company logo on it, which she wore tucked under her khaki work pants, and finally, a pair of steel-toed boots. Her skin was a bit tan; it shined under the sun. Her smile spread across her face as she took a deep breath, wanting to feel the fresh Ocean air around her. ''Aaah! Fresh nature air. I dunno how much I love you, but probably as much as I love the outdoors in general.'' She took out a small pine branch from her pants pockets and sniffed it. Red asked her if the boat would need to be stopped in order to let her set foot on land sometimes and sniff more trees, to which she replied ''I'm sorry, I really don't get humor.''

Suddenly, a yellow bulldozer came behind the 7 remaining contestants, who still hadn't been introduced- it pushed them all towards the others. They yelled in complaint, and an Asian teen with hazel eyes interrogated Red ''-Hey, what's this all about now? Weren't we supposed to be introduced one by one?

-Sorry Jeannie The ''Former'' Bad Guy, but we're kinda running late now, and if there's one thing I don't want to see happen in our premiere episode, it's running out of time for the confessionals and the challenge. So sorry, but I'll introduce you all pretty quickly now… Julia, The Invisible Genius!'' A short girl with very long blond hair, raised her hand and tied her sweatshirt around her waist again. ''Keisha, The Rapper Girl!'' A short and rather large black girl smiled at the host before losing her cool a little, for valid reasons.

''-Aye yo Red, you think we could hurry it up a little?'' She asked, angry. ''If you're at least gonna force us to get picked up by a friggin' bulldozer, you could make sure we can board the boat pretty soon, huh?

-Why, you are right! Let's speed it up even more… by swinging all of you guys and girls on top of the boat, from the bulldozer!

-And how do you think you'll achieve that?" A short, scrawny guy with glasses asked. ''It's not like this thing has a catapult mode to it.

-Oh, you'd be surprised, Kyle The Crazy Fanboy, but this one does!'' And with these words, Red pressed a button, making the bulldozer accelerate, pick all fans, favorites –all competitors alike- and threw them to the ship's deck. Since Izzy had already climbed up the whole way to here, she ran around them in circles; she looked at them in the sky and saluted them by barking like a mad dog. Red named the remaining fan contestants as everyone flew up into the air, screaming and wiggling like crazy: also joining us for this season is Manu, The Chosen Warrior!'' He was a bit tall individual with Pacific Islander traits and was dressed in tribal attire. ''Followed by Tyson, The Actor!'' The camera zoomed in on a tall, good-looking teenager that wore a fedora. He imitated Red's voice perfectly, saying: ''Thank you for introducing me, my friend!'' with a slightly British accent.

''Woah! That was seriously creepy, dude! And last but not least, Zach, The Anti-Hero!'' A short, heavy guy with blue hair and a baseball cap showed a peace sign to the camera. ''Fans and Favorites, you may now do confessionals in the Old Port!'' After the break!

Commercial break

Confessionals

Abel-Carlos, oiling his cane: Fers konfeshônol dees seezon, huh? (He looks at the camera, coughs out his denture and puts it back into his mouth, blushing a little.) I rhave tô e-show oll of dem wot ai battled bek een day past. Dey won't e-no wot heet em.4

Jeannie, showing off scars on her neck and shoulders: Hey people, I'm Jeannie! Those scars you see, they come from a near-death experience I had when I was only 10. You see, I'm from a tough background, and I got in a fight with the leader of the street gang I was in. For those wondering, I was born in Korea, but I've lived in New York, and then Seattle for years, so I'm an American. (She scratches her chin) Uh… what else is there to say? Oh yeah, I accidentally crashed my dad's Rolls-Royce car when I was 12. Fun times, but that's the kind of thing that I'd like to fix with the prize money: my car needs a good, shining new car!

Jasmine, cheering: Mates, I must say it sure feels nice as heck to have been chosen by you to come back again. I… (She almost starts tearing up and sobbing, but holds herself.) I really, really miss my Shawn, but I know we'll be able to get him and B back. I don't just hope, I know we can-they're not cactus. It'll probably have to wait after this season, so I won't be too mad if I take the boot early.

Owen, happier than ever: WOOOOOHOOOOO! YEAH! I'M BACK AND PLAYING! (He calms down, then randomly takes on a British woman accent) Oh, I told you that Owen would come back: I hold him dearly in my elderly, womanly heart. Sandra, he is here to sleep, eat, party, make friends and participate in challenges. Plus, this time around he has no gastric problems and can hold his farts! (Suddenly, he farts. His eyes widen and he looks at the camera, embarrassed.) Oops.

Zach, applying blue day to his hair: Hey! I'm Zach! (He waves at the camera.) I don't talk that much, but I still have to speak a little bit about myself… Whenever there's a chance to cause anarchy, I like to take it. It's not being mean that I like, more the fun chaos that can sometimes ensue after. (He crosses his arms and smiles at the camera.) I know the game: I've binge-watched TD so many times in the last 3 years that I think I might be able to manipulate a couple of favorites to side with me, and then we'll vote together at the merge!

End of confessionals

''And now, a tour of the boat- or our main mode of transportation this season. Follow me!'' Red declared and ordered, the 20 contestants now closely following him.

They stepped onto the boat by walking on a metal ramp that linked it to the port's floor. Red led the group aboard the ship: first they walked around on the ship's lower deck. Contestants looked around and felt the fresh sea breeze on their face, and Manu looked annoyed when a bird poop landed on his shoulder. He shrugged and wiped it off with his bare hands, Tyson looking at him, mildly amused.

''This is da ship's bottom deck. There are a couple of decks –including this one, the middle deck, and the upper deck- and lots of other rooms and spaces! Check this out!'' Red waved at the contestants so they'd follow him upstairs.

''-Here's the upper portion of our nice little cruise ship! It includes the upper deck, the swimming pool, hot tub, bar and indoors spa.

-Hey, uh, Red honey, I got a lil' question.

-I'd rather not have to answer literally anything, but yes Keisha?'' Red hissed, smiling as he clutched his teeth. ''What is your question?

-Look, I know this boat is pretty big, neatly designed and all, but shouldn't y'all have given it a name yet? Like, seriously dog, why does this thing not have a name?

-Because the first person to get eliminated this season will get to name it.'' He took a deep breath and then all the explanations out. ''They'll be chosen as the new first loser by today's winning team, which means that if your team wins today, you will not only get to vote one of your opponents out, but also let them name the boat you guys and girls will have to stay and live on for I don't know how many days! Phew!'' He wiped his face, out of breath from this long last sentence. ''How's that for a reason?

-Wait… Lemme get this clearly. You're not saying that the first elimination of this season won't even be done by a vote, right?'' Scott asked, very dubious.

''-Oh my, yes I do. Scott, if you have any problem with that, please come see me or any of the show's ship staff later. But for now, zzzzzip it, everyone! We are going to visit Angelica the lunch lady's headquarters: the kitchen, and the restaurant.

The camera flashed once, now showing a luxurious, huge, clean kitchen. It was bright; people remarked that its colors, shapes, pattern designs, objects (including kitchen utensils and cooking items) all were pretty modern and perfectly in shape. The contestants walked around it. While some people tried their best not to touch anything, others, like Zach and Abel-Carlos, stole items when no one was looking, or accidentally tripped on their cane and broke a plate that was sitting dangerously close to the metal counter's edge. ''I hope you all brought money with you, because food on this floating beauty isn't free. Unless you've won a challenge, that is? And you know what?'' Red asked the cast, out of the blue. ''Sorry to interrupt our lovely visit of our cruise ship, but something's gonna happen…We're having a challenge right now!''

Red's declaration was followed by a collective gasp of surprise. And then the camera flashed again.

Contestants were now standing in Quebec city's old port, now separated into their two separate, distinct teams: fans versus favorites. They formed two lines and glared at each other from both ends of a metal counter, placed horizontally and covered with a gigantic transparent bowl. Said bowl contained a gargantuan amount of warm, savoury poutine: its golden fries were covered with hot brown sauce and squeaky cheese curds. Zach, wanting to cause a little mischief for fun, took a handful of poutine with a playful grin of disgust on his face and placed it on a small plastic spoon he took out from his pockets. He folded it into a ball and shot it at a nearby roof, which it bounced off and then went to hit the ground, other roofs, and other objects a couple of times. It finally landed in a splat on Manu's shoulder, coming from the favorites' side. He looked at them, flaming red in an immeasurable anger.

Confessionals

Manu, angry, speaking in a simplified, broken English: Name is Manu. Am chosen warrior of gods. First bird poop my shoulder, then sauce potato ball land there too. Am furious! Who trying to hurt me and gods? Manu get revenge!

Izzy: Man, I really wish we could get on with the challenge already! It feels like this episode might be close to over already!

End of confessionals

Manu automatically turned to Noah, rushing him and slamming him unto the ground before putting a knee on the scrawny guy's stomach and holding his wrists. He yelled at his face.

''-You dead, thin kid!

-Uh, not to be mean, or anything, but uh…'' the genius scratched smiled nervously, trying to keep his cool in the situation. ''You're crushing my bones, big guy. Kinda… hurting me a little, here.

-I no care, you threw potato ball!

-Somebody, help me! This man's actions are totally justifiable!'' He yelled, in a mix of both fear and deep-rooted sarcasm.

-Cease this, gentlemen!'' Tyson rushed in and grabbed Manu's arms from behind, telling him ''he isn't the one who threw this ball, I can see it in his poor, hunted squirrel eyes.''

Noah tried to object by lifting his right index finger up, but Owen came to shield him, protecting him from Manu's wrath as well. ''Nobody touches my buddy Noah! Rawr!'' He hit his huge stomach with hard clenched fists and roared in a slightly camouflaged, protective rage. Then he let out a fart again, which ruined the scene.

''-Hm-hm!'' Red coughed, effectively interrupting the drama. ''-I think I speak for all of us when I say we'd like you to stop fighting, and get on with the damn challenge.

-Aw come on, Red, are you crazy? We wanna fight too! Onwards!''

With these words, Izzy randomly jumped at Kyle and started hitting him in the face, despite the fact he had done nothing wrong, nor did he spite anyone. Then, chaos ensued. People started having a food fight: poutine was thrown, hurled around the place and Red started to panic- a rapping Keisha by his side.

Yo! We're coming right at you from the best food fight

In the good old town of Quebec city, close to where I was raised

Ain't got no time to end the episode? I believe that could be right

Red, how about you close the episode soon? Hope your host talents are right!

''Well, guess we don't actually have much of a choice here. We're ending the episode now, and we'll continue the start of this season in the next episode of Total! Drama! Ooooceaans! Fans Vs Favorites!''

The camera cut to black after showing a group picture of all the contestants. Fans and favorites, already and still battling each other.

Author's note: Well, that took longer than expected, and the chapter was also longer than I thought it would be, so the challenge will start and continue in the next chapter. I might eliminate 2 people in it, and the story will actually be 21 episodes long, unless I add in a special as well.

1 If we assume that there's a one year time interval between ROTI and All Stars, and another year between AS and Pahkitew Island, as well as another year between PI and Charge, plus a final year between Charge and Oceans, Dawn and the rest of the second generation cast would be 20. The Island cast (who were 19 in All Stars) is 2 years older- meaning they're 22 now. The Pahkitew cast is now 18 years old, so technically each generation of campers is theoretically separated by a two year age gap.

2 ''I am pleased to be here, and I hope I can show the world what I am all about.''

3 ''Come on, it won't be that hard! Lighten up, maggot!''

4 ''First confessional this season, huh? I have to show all of them what I battled back in the past. They won't know what hit them.''
