Fear not! TDE is still in business, with a brand-new chapter coming out very soon. Until then, let us re-read the old chapters, refresh our memories :)

(I'm not gonna bother changing the introductive and conclusive author's notes)


um... i think i took too long, yeah. 3 months. eep.

but im gonna work a lot harder :)

and now, we introduce the contestants.


The shining sun filtered through the trees of the forest, reflecting brightly off the lake fountain which sat right in the middle of it. Sitting barefoot next to the lake, on a picnic blanket with a picnic basket at that, was Cara. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun and she wore a white summer dress decorated with dark pink, blue and yellow flowers. She rose gracefully and looked straight at the camera.

'Welcome watchers.' she smiled. 'The time has come!' she smiled. After a VERY long wait, we are finally going to introduce the competitors, thank you for being so patient, are you ready to meet them?' as she said this, an old fashioned horse drawn carriage bounced in, emerging from the dense forestry. 'Oh, here's our first contestant now!'

As the horse and cart drew to a stop, the carriage door opened. A slim and slender slighty tanned girl with almond shaped emerald eyes stepped out. She let out a low whistle as looked around.

She had thick dirty blonde shoulder length hair with dark brown streaks styled into a layered bob cut with thinned ends which was covered by a white beanie. Her outfit consisted of a green striped burnout top covered with a black and blue checkered scarf. She wore blue skinny jeans and black Nike high tops with neon yellow shoelaces. Her left arm had several pink bracelets around it.

'Woah. Didn't expect a lake to be here.' she smiled cheekily.

Cara smiled warmly. 'Welcome Roberta. This lake is just a meeting spot, we'll take you to your... room soon, after the others have arrived.'

'That's cool, I can wait! Oh, and it's Bob.' she frowned. 'Don't EVER call me Robeta.' she smiled again and walked over to Cara and sat on the blanket, helping herself to a jam tart that was in the basket.

A couple of moments later the next carriage arrived. This time a tall male emerged.

His dark red short sleeved business shirt was unbuttoned and to reveal a tight black t-shirt underneath. He wore tan cargo shorts and sandals and a thin gold chain hung around his neck. He had large black puppy dog shaped eyes and short ebony black dreadlocked hair that reached to the tops of his shoulders and his skin was sienna brown.

He turned and saw Cara. He smiled and bowed his head slighty. 'I'm glad I was accepted, thank you.'

Cara, slightly surprised at his courteous manner, smiled. 'Your welcome! Now, Jerome, this is Rober...' she glanced at Bob, who was giving her a cold stare. Cara looked back at Jerome. 'Bob, her name's Bob.' she smiled again. 'Just sit over there with her while we wait for the others.'

He obeyed and sat on the picnic blanket.

Not long after, the next competitor arrived.

She was stunning! She could easily be mistaken as a model, she certainly had the body for it. She had long blonde hair a eyes that were a mixture of green, blue and brown. She wore a pink midriff top with one long sleeve and on the other side two spaghetti straps, it read 'Drop it Like it's Hot'. Her leopard print short shorts were pink and hot pink and were held up by a heart belt with a keyhole. Her sandals were black with bows around the ankles and she wore bow earrings and a black bow necklace.

She smirked as she stepped out of the carriage.'This is it?' she raised an eyebrow.

Cara clenched her fists, but then relaxed. 'Not exactly. Evelyn, meet Jerome and Bob, two other contestants.'

'What idiot would name their daughter 'Bob'?'

The girl in question glared at her. 'Obviously you're the idiot, it's a nickname.'

'Whatever.' Evelyn replied, cutting the conversation off. Bob continued to glare as Evelyn walked over to them and sat as far away as possible.


~Confessional~

Bob - Little miss "I'm the best" is getting on my nerves. And she hasn't even been here 5 minutes!

Jerome - Hmmmm, I don't think these ladies are getting along very well.

Evelyn - Who does that "Bob" girl think she is? Talking back to me!


The next carriage held a tall, muscly boy. He wore a graphic t shirt and saggy black denim shorts with chained pockets and black jordans. He had smooth dirty blonde and black faux hawk and dark forest green eyes.

'Hey!' he greeted everyone. 'Awesome to be here!'

'Hello Derek! These three will introduce themsleves to you. Just sit on the blanket while we wait.' Cara greeted.

'Sure!' he sat down next to Jerome and started greeting them and making friends immediately.

'So, what's your names?' he asked.

'Well, I'm Jerome.'

'Bob.'

Evelyn was silent.

'... and her?' Derek asked.

'Bitch.' Bob answered coldly. Evelyn gasped and flipped her off, then she crossed her arms and looked away while Bob made a face at her.

'Um, her name's Evelyn.' Jerome answered.

'Oh.'


~Confessional~

Derek - I get the feeling Bob and Evelyn don't like each other. But Jerome seems pretty cool.

Jerome - At least I won't have to watch those ladies kill each other alone.


The next competitor was a slim and slender girl with a sweet smile. She had long layered light blonde choppy hair and the lower layers dyed dark brown. She had almond shaped smokey blue eyes accompanied by some eyeliner and long curved eyelashes. She had glowing pale skin which was covered by a black and white plaid tunic and black denim leggings. Red ankle boots covered her feet and the jewelery she wore was a dragon neckalce and small blue hoop earrings.

'Um...' she paused, then forced a smile. 'HI! I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M ACTUALLY HERE!' everyone jumped at her sudden outbreak of enthusiasim.

'Riiiiiight...' Cara rolled her eyes. 'Er, everyone, this is Asha.'

'Hi.' they said in a unison.

'Ok... just sit with them and, yeah, we're just waiting.'

Asha just nodded and walked over.


~Confessional~

Asha - Shit! I totally blew it! Everyone thinks I'm weird now... :(

Bob - A bit random, but she seems OK.


The next carriage arrived only seconds later and it held a young man. He icy blue eyes and messy brown hair and he was tall, and very fit. He wore a black tee with a blue and black plaid unbuttoned long sleeved flannel shirt, jeans and high tops. He had some scars.

'Damien, nice of you to join us! Please, help yourself.' she gestured to the growing picnic.

'Ok.' he replied. He bent down and grabbed some cookies, then stood up leaned against the nearest tree.

Soon enough, the next person arrived. A short caramel-coloured girl (who had skin very much like Courtney's) with baby blue eyes stepped out. Her dark brown curly hair fell down to her chest. She wore a black and red plaid button up and shorts that ripped right before the knee and plain white DC sneakers. She lowered her tinted shades and smiled at Cara and the others.

'ShiAnne, welcome!' Cara greeted. 'Help yourself to the treats, the others seem to like them.' The two looked at the other campers and Bob gave her a thumbs up.

'Kay then.' ShiAnne went over to the others. Jerome smiled at her and she smiled back.


~Confessional~

Damien- Cookies are good, Chef couldn't have cooked them.

ShiAnne- The cooking is really good!


The next 2 contestants arrived almost at the same time. A pale boy with black floppy hair and steely blue eyes and a short tanned girl with brown curly hair stepped out of their carriages at the same time. The boy wore a black t shirt, black skinny jeans and black hight tops. and the girl wore a white tank top under a baby blue v-neck short-sleeved shirt and gray jeans with light blue converse. She was really energetic and smiley but he looked very quiet and distant.

'Jasper and Adelina!' Cara smiled.

'Hey!' Adelina exclaimed. The two looked expectantly at Jasper, who muttered a small 'Hi.' As they walked over to the others, Adelina plafully punched him in the arm. 'Not very talkative?' she asked cheekily. He looked at her slowly, frowning. She bit her lip, a bit intimidated. Then, he smiled, making hr smile too.

'Not really.' he replied.

The next 4 people arrived in the same carriage. Everyone looked at Cara. 'What? They were picked up in a car and brought into the nearest town because they lived further away, so I thought "Heck, save the horses, put them in the same carriage".' she pouted. 'Duh!' The competitors just rolled their eyes.

2 boys and 2 girls emerged. One of the girls had dark olive skin and violet eyes and had her dark brown was in a high ponytail and her side bangs covered her right eye. The other had light brown skin and hazel eyes and jet black long, thick and wavy hair with sweeping bangs to the right. The first girl wore a white tank top under a black shirt with a silver swirl deign printed on it, dark skinny jeans and white ballet flats and the second girl wore a blue-violet jean jacket over a purple and lavender tie-dye tank top along with dark wash capris and lavender flip-flops.

The first boy wore a black tank top, dark green baggy cargo pants, and enormous black sneakers and the second boy wore black skinny jeans, black and white canvas shoes, white singlet, blue plaid shirt unbuttoned rolled up to elbows. The first boy had thick shaggy hair styled into high faux hawk and the tips of his hair were dyed black, he also had red almond shaped eyes. The second had messy dirty blonde hair and brown eyes.

'Kaylee, Lilynette, Caden and Jackson!' The four of them smile at the others. 'Respectively.' Cara added with a cheeky smile and a wink.

They walked towards the others, chatting to eachother.


~Confessional~

Adelina- Jasper's quiet, but he doesn't seem mean.

Lilynette- Kaylee and me seem to be friends already.


Waiting for the last three carriages, Cara scanned the group. Bob was glaring at Evelyn, who was glaring straight back at her, Jerome was complimenting ShiAnne, Derek and Damien were talking, Kaylee and Lily were giggling about something, Adelina had just smiled at Jasper, Jasper, Jacko and Caden were hanging out and Asha was sitting thinking about something.

The third last carriage arrived and a goldy-browny-eyed boy with short light brown hair wearing a gray hoodie and light blue jeans stepped out. He was grinning like an idiot.

'And here's Ben!'

Ben walked up to Cara, winked at her and pushed a strand of her behind her ear. 'Heyy cutie, did it hurt when you fell from heaven because you look like an angel.' he wiggled his eyebrows. She stared at him, eyebrows raised. Then, she grabbed his shirt, pulled him close and smiled seductively. He was so shocked but grinned ear to ear.

'Ben...' she whispered in his ear softly. 'My cute little Ben...' she looked him straight in the eye and winked. 'Listen to me.' she whispered, Ben gave her a confused look for a second... before she quickly lifted him off the ground with her grip and glared at him. 'NEVER. Touch. Me. AGAIN.' she yelled, then threw him on the ground, shattering his ego.

Everyone burst out laughing as she smirked victoriously, crossed her arms and looked away.

'Dude! You just got owned!' Bob laughed. He stood, hung his head and skulked away to the picnic basket.


~Confessional~

(Basically clips of everyone laughing their heads off, except Ben, who hangs his head in shame)


The next carriage arrived a few minutes later (after everyone had calmed down). A brown-eyed girl with straightened hair with a braid on the side stepped out. She had very tanned skin and was a little skinny. She smiled.

'Hello, Alimah!' Cara greeted.

'Hey everyone!' she said. They all smile at her as she joins them.

Then, the last carriage finally arrives.

A tall green-eyed boy stepped out. He had brown hair styled in a fohawk and wore a midnight black hoodie,with a white and green tapout shirt underneath,pure black jeans and black and white nikes.

'James!' Cara grinned, glad the introductions were finally over. He nodded slowly and managed a small smile at them. He walked over to them as they stood.


'That's everyone!' Cara announced and hushed their private conversations. 'Now that everyone is here, I can now announce the teams!'

Everyone grinned.

'Ok... Alimah, Asha, Damien, Jackson, James, Jerome, Kaylee and Lily! You are the Screaming Spongebobs!' they moved into their group. 'So that obviously means that Adelina, Ben, Bob, Caden, Derek, Evelyn, Jasper and ShiAnne are the Killer Krustys!'

Both teams looked at their teamates. Evelyn didn't seem too happy though about Bob being on her team.

'What! I refuse to be on the same team as this... this..' she gestured to Bob.

'Gorgeous and super awesome lady?' Bob tried, smirking. Evelyn glared at her.

'Deal with it.' was as Cara said, as she started walking to begin the tour of their new home...


Okey dokey! Introductions done! Hell yeah! I know I used the same phrases a lot but... oh well!
