Author's Note: Hey guys! Wish I was a Pirate and I teamed up to bring you the best, most amazing, most FANTASTIC season of Total Drama yet! Hope you enjoy, and by the way, we LOVE reviews;) Side note: since the All Stars finale with the island blowing up was ridiculous, in this story the island is still fully intact. Or at least as intact as it ever was...

Chris McClean stood on the Dock of Shame. He flashed the camera his trademark grin.

"Last season, on Total Drama All Stars," he boomed, opening his arms grandly, "we saw fourteen fan favorites battle it out for one million dollars. In the end, Mike took home the million, and ten contestants floated away in balloons. This was originally going to be Total Drama Underdogs, but a lawsuit from our resident C.I.T when we finally popped them down changed that. "

The camera cut to the boat pulling up at the dock. The camper's silhouettes could be vaguely seen through the glass windows.

"Instead, we're bringing back the contestants who stole WAY too much screen time to compete against the ones who never got a chance to shine, whether that was because they were cheated, manipulated, or they just plain suck!" Chris said, gesturing to the boat. "Get ready for the most dramatic season yet! This is Total... Drama...Screen Stealers and Underdogs!"

*theme song plays, camera cuts back to Chris standing on the dock waiting to introduce the first contestant*

"It's time to introduce our very first contestant! She mean, she's manipulative, and she's the queen bee, welcome back to Camp Wawanakwa, Heather!"

A young woman walked off the boat with an angry look, stomping off past Chris. "I did NOT sign up for this, I do not want to be back here!"

Chris laughed at her. "Too bad, so sad! Go stand over at the end of the Dock.

Heather did as she was told albeitly ticked off and Chris introduced the next contestant.

"Haha, anyways, our next competitor is a lovable giant who has a soft spot for animals even though they kind of hate him, welcome back to Camp Wawanakwa, DJ!"

A young man walked off the boat and sighed. "Ugh, at least it's not a plane. This place brings back some good memories. It's good to be back Chris." Dj said.

Chris laughed. "I'm glad you think so DJ, now go to the end of the dock with Heather. DJ looked at Heather and frowned. "She's back?" He walked to the end of the dock and stood as far as possible from Heather, to her fake content.

Chris grinned and started to introduce his next competitor. "This competitor needs no introduction, she's everybody's favorite CIT and she's the reason half of the people in this seasons cast are even competing, give it up for Courtney!"

Heather looked puzzled. "What do you mean she's the reason!? I'm SO going to kill her!"

Before Chris could explain, Courtney stepped off the boat.

"Hello Chris, it's good to be back for another shot at one million bucks! As long as i'm on a different team as Duncan i'm good!" She smiled.

Chris laughed. 'You're in for a shocker then, go stand at the end of the dock."

Courtney grew an angry expression. "What do you me-" Chris cut her off as he introduced the next contestant.

"Next we have everyone's favorite apology brat- nice nickname, Jo, let's give it up for Zoey!"

No one clapped, and Chris snapped out of it. "Okay, never mind the clapping!"

He faced the contestants already on the dock and growled out of the corner of his mouth, "Anyone that doesn't clap for me at the end of the introductions isthe first one eliminated." There was a quick smattering of nods.

Zoey approached the contestants and grinned. "Hey guys! Good to be back!"

DJ smiled, and everyone else gave weak grins. "Since Mike won my life has been amazing!"
"Zoey? No one cares," Chris said. "Our next competitor is someone who we haven't seen since our very first season! It's our favorite psychopath, Eva!"

Eva growled, and pushed through a throng of contestants until she got to the front. "Back off!" she hissed when DJ tried to greet her. "I'm here to win, not to make friends!"

"But you could make friends while you play?" Zoey said timidly, but a death stare sent her sinking back.

"Now we have bad boy turned model citizen, Duncan!" Chris said. "This'll be good," he added with a wink.
"Hey," he said nodding at DJ. "Princess! Haven't seen you in a while!"

"Shove it," Courtney said, turning away from him.

"No need to be like that Court, I know you still want me."

Courtney's face changed, and a swift kick to the kiwis sent him crying in pain.

Chris laughed at Duncan, who was on the floor crying with pain. "Ooh! Down for the count! I'm glad to see the drama is stirring up already!"

Courtney glared at Chris. "Hurry up and introduce the next contestant."

Chris faked feeling bad. "Oof, fine! Our next contestant is the newbie who won among the veterans, he's vicious and remorseless, welcoming for the first time ever to Camp Wawanakwa, say hello to Alejandro!"

Alejandro stepped off of the boat and walked up to Chris smiling. "Hell, Chris. This is a wonderful island of yours, it is a shame I was unable to compete here during TDI."

Chris looked at Alejandro and smiled. "Thanks man! I liked it better with the toxic waste, but she's a beauty a'int she," Chris says looking over at the landscape of the island, "well, please go stand over at the end of the dock."

Alejandro did as he was told and walked over to the end of the dock. He first went over to Zoey. "Hello Zoey, I hope you have learned your lesson from not listening to me." She frowned a bit.

"I'm sorry Alejandro! I should have listened to you, but..." she sighs smiling, "love fogs your vision sometimes. I can't wait for Mike to get here already!" Alejandro's eye twitched at that comment as he nodded and turned over to the veteran cast, walking over Duncan on his way there.

"Hello my friends, I truly do hope that you all forgive me from what I have done during TDWT, it was merely strategy, not personal at all." He said charmingly.

Nobody replied to him as they just nodded. He walked over to Heather and whispered something in her ear, making her giggle.

"Oh, Alejandro! Such a funny guy."

Alejandro glared at her. "I am not a guy, I am a MAN."

Heather rolled her eyes and smiled. "Okay, man."

Chris yawned as he looked bordley at the current contestants. "Ugh, this is boring! Not as much drama as I hoped for. Anyways, our next competitor is our very own TDI veteran, he was the winner of that season..." The camera cut over to Alejandro.

"Oh no..."

The camera went back to Chris. "welcoming back to Camp Wawanakwa, here comes OWEN!"

Alejandro is seen putting his face into his hands as he is heard swearing in spanish.

A large oaff is seen walking off the boat with 2 giant buckets of ice cream.

"Hey Chris! It's good to be back, I can't wait for the food!" He yelled.

Chris looked at him disgustedly. "Not excited for the chance at the million? Eh, whatever, just go stand somewhere away from me at the end of the dock."

Owen stupidly nodded as he walked over to the end of the dock, standing to Alejandro. "Hey Al! It's good to see you again!? How'd you spend your million dollars? Al? AL?! Why won't you respond to me Al?" Owen kept saying.

Alejandro could be seen virtually flaming with annoyance and stomped off away from Owen.

Owen frowned. "What's Al's problem everybody?" Everybody except for Duncan, due to his predicament, facepalmed.

Chris turned away from the action and introduced the next competitor. "Time to introduce our next competitor! She's a big, she's loud and she's proud, welcoming back the 5th place and unrightfully eliminated contestant *cough peanut gallery cough*, Leshawna!

A young woman walked off the boat with her signature smile. Hey y'all! Leshawna's in the house, again!" She saw Heather standing on the other end of the dock and sighed.

"Well, most of the cool people are here." She laughed when she saw Duncan. "Hey bad boy, what happened to you?"

Duncan weakly pointed to Courtney's foot and his crotch at the same time.

Leshawna looked over to Courtney. "You did this to him?". Courtney hesitated before nodding. Leshawna laughed, "Honey, give me some sugar!" She says high fiving Courtney.

"Unlikely bonding, kiwi hits, yada yada yada," Chris moaned: "I have more contestants to introduce!"

"Then introduce them!" Courtney yelled. "We don't care!"

"Oh, you'll care about this one," Chris said, smirking evilly. "It's our Goth boyfriend stealer, Gwen!"

Gwen strode up the dock, careful not to make eye contact with anyone. Courtney nervously approached her. "Um, hello Gwen. It's been a while."

The teal haired girl met her gaze coldly. "Remember why it's been a while... Chartney? "

"I was just playing the game!" Courtney wailed. "I didn't mean it!"

"Hey, Pasty!" Duncan said, recovering when he saw his second ex girlfriend. "Long time no see."

"Go away, Duncan," Courtney and Gwen said in unison. They looked at each other, and Courtney saw the faintest trace of a smile appear on Gwen's lips before she turned away.

"And the love triangle is as dramatic as ever! The ratings will thank us for them, I'm sure! Anyway, here's our next camper: Tyler!"

There was dead silence, and no sign of the clumsy jock. "Tyler?" Chris yelled. "Hello? Dude, you there?"

After another minute of silence, a piercing wail broke the air. "Get it off get it off get it off!" Tyler squealed, a baby chick bouncing all over his head.

"Oh yeah," Chris laughed. "I forgot it put a chicken in the boat with you."

"Not cool, man," Tyler said angrily. I swear to god the thing almost ate me!"

The camera panned to the chick, who was now hopping around the dock. It tweeted at the camera, and all of the campers except DJ and Zoey started cracking up. "Not cool at all!" he shouted. "Chickens are scary!"

"Lame," Duncan jeered.

"Oh really, Celine?" Tyler retorted, and Duncan shut up.

"Boys, love the tension, but it's time to introduce the surprising fan favorite, Noah!"

Noah walked out, book in hand. "How's it feel to be back, dude?"

"Absolutely wonderful. My heart can barely contain my excitement,"
he said dryly.

"That's the enthusiasm we're looking for!" Chris cheered.

"So happy that I could be of assistance."

"So am I! Now go and scurry off to your friends, or should I say friend," he said shooting Owen a glare, "at the end of the dock."

Noah didn't look away from his book and yawned. "Will do." He then went off to the end of the dock.

Owen gave him a huge bear hug when Noah got to the end of the dock, causing Noah to drop his book.

"NOAH BUDDY! IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK MAN!" Owen yelled, crushing Noah.

Noah's face was turning blue as he tried to escape his friend's tight grasp. "Great...buddy... now could you let me go before I die of air loss?!" He told him.

Owen's eyes widen as he let go of Noah, who fell on the knees, grasping for air.

'Haha," Owen awkwardly laughed, "sorry about that buddy." Noah got up and weakly smiled.

"No problem. So..." he said scanning the competitors, "it seems that the eel is back." he said looking at Alejandro, who was busy talking to Heather over something.

Owen stupidly smiled. "Yeah! Just like old times, the three musketeers! And look, Duncan's here too!" The screen cuts to Duncan getting pushed off the dock by Gwen.

"Ooh, rejected!" Noah said.

The camera cut to Chris who was sleeping on the dock, one of the interns had to come and wake him up.

"Wha-.. oh yeah, I fell asleep. BECAUSE THIS IS BORING! WHERE'S THE DRAMA!? Ugh, let's hope our next contestant can change that!" He laughed. "He was TDROTI biggest baddie to become TDAS biggest goof, welcoming back to Camp Wawanakwa, Scott!"

A ginger haired farm boy is seen walking off the boat and to the dock.

He looked around the island and smiled. "What? No toxic waste? No cleaver wielding lunch lady? No beautiful host?" He said smirking. Chris rolled his eyes.

"Haha, very funny Scott. Go stand over there with the rest of the returnees."

Scott did as he told as he stood beside Courtney, much to her discomfort. "Ew!" She said. Scott was oblivious as shortly after he smelt his armpit.

Chris smiled at Courtney. "Seems like you just found yourself a new boyfriend! Anyways, our next contestant is the one who stood up to Heather, had a major swear fest against Heather, and heck even made it farther in a season then Heather, welcome back to Camp Wawanakwa, our favorite bubbly blonde Lindsay!"

A beautiful lady walked off, just to pass Chris and jump on Tyler. "TYSON! YOU'RE BACK!"

Tyler laughed and started hugging her. "Yup, it's me baby! I've missed you!"

The rest of the cast looked at them awkwardly.

"Cute. Anyways, for our next player we're bringing back-" Chris was cut off by loud music playing.

"Geoff!"

A blonde man with a cowboy hat is seen stepping off the boat. "Dudes, what's up!?" Geoff enthusiastically says.

Nobody responded.

"Yeesh, tough crowd tonight! Anyways, who's ready to PARTY!?"

Most cheered at this.

"WOOH! IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK!" Geoff said as he ran to the end of the dock to greet his friends.

"Good to see the enthusiasm; man!" Chris said. "Maybe you could share with some of your fellow cast mates," he added pointedly, shooting a glare at the group idly standing on the dock.

"DJ! Awesome to see you dude!" They high fived, and Geoff cast a glance around the dock. "Dude, where's Duncan?"

DJ merely pointed into the lake, where Duncan was struggling to pull himself up. "Not... cool... Pasty," he shivered, teeth chattering furiously.

"Schooled by a girl already brah? Tough season coming!" Geoff joked.

"Nice to have you back, man."

Geoff and DJ instinctively formed a protective shield around Duncan, protecting him from his vindictive exes.

"Aw! Look how cute! DJ and Geoff are protecting wittle good boy Dunkie! But will this next arrival break his shield? Let's welcome Bridgette!"

"Bridgey bear!" Geoff shouted, leaving the guard immediately and passionately kissing his girlfriend.

"Geoffy poo!" she moaned in between kisses. "Baby, I missed you!"

"They saw each other literally 10 minutes ago!" Gwen whispered to the person next to her, annoyed. She then saw that it was Courtney and slid away.

Geoff and Bridgette continued to make out right next to Chris, but eventually the slurping sounds became too much to handle. He reached out a hand a pushed them off of the dock. The surfaced, spluttering water, shrugged, and began making out again.

"Okay! Ignoring that disgusting PDA, let's move on!" He looked at the boat, but no person was ready by the ramp. "Where's Izzy?"

Suddenly, an animalistic sound rang through the shore, and the redhead swung in on a vine. "Izzy, where did you get a vine? You were just on a boat!" Chris asked.

"Well, I-"

"Never mind! Go stand by the others before you hurt someone!" Izzy ran over. "Hey guys, what's up? Do you know what's up? The sky. The sky has weird colors. I like it when it's all red and looks like a zombie movie, wow, zombie movies are scary- ooh! Lake! She jumped in after Bridgette and Geoff, splashing them and leaving them grumbling.

"Oh, I miss my Izzy..." Owen said sadly as he saw Izzy jump into the ocean.

Chris laughed at Owen. "Dude, it it makes you feel better Ozzy was my OTP in TDI! Anyways, time to introduce our very next competitor! This freak, I mean contestant, had her debut in TDROTI, where she made a bunch of friends! If animal friends count as friends, haha. It's everyone's favorite aura reading moonchild, welcoming back to Camp Wawanakwa, here comes Dawn!" Chris says.

Dawn steps off the boat, walking past Chris and going straight to the end of the dock.

Dawn sighed. "Cameron!? B? Where are those guys, are they not competing this season?!" Dawn says sadly.

Noah looked at the moonchild for a split second then went back to his book. "It would appear that way, too bad, it really is." He said in his usual sarcastic tone.

Dawn scanned the book worm which made him take a step back in pure creeped out-ness.

"You have a pitch black aura. You're sarcastic guy who's mean..."

"Thanks for the recap." Noah went back to reading his book, but Dawn continued.

"yet you're smart and caring to those you love." Dawn said smiling.

Noah looked at her and slowly walked away.

Dawn frowned. "Did I scare him off? What did I say?"

Chris yawned. "I called you a freak for a reason, man. And now, for our our last, and certainly not least, contestant, we have a nerd with mad skills and a thing for BOOBIES, it's the one and only, Harold!"

A scrawny nerd is seen stepping off the boat with his keyboard.

"Gosh, this place again?" Harold complained.

Chris laughed. "Yup! And look at all of your friends who are back!"

The camera cuts to Duncan clenching his fists, Courtney breaking a stick in two, Heather covering her breasts, and Leshawna now running towards him.

"BABY!" She yelled.

"Leshawna!" Harold yelled as he dropped his stuff and ran to his girlfriend.

Duncan came in between the two and tripped Harold who tumbled over Leshawna, who was no off the dock, soaked in the lake below.

"Hahaha! Long time no see, Dorkus." Duncan said as he looked at the now bruised Harold, dusting himself off while standing up from his fall,

"Yeah," he replied, "and it was the best time of my life." He walked away and went to the end of the dock. "Are you okay Leshawna?!" He asked her.

"Ugh, yeah, i'm fine sugar. Don't worry about me." She told him.

He smiled cheekily. "Okay." He walked off.

Leshawna sighed. "You weren't supposed to say that." She eventually got back to the top of the dock, water dripping from her hair, clothes soaked.

A while later after Chris realised nobody else was showing up for the season, he got ready to start speaking.

"Hey guys," Chris smugly started to smile, "how is it to be back here for ANOTHER SEASON OF DRAMA?!"

"It," Duncan said.

"F***ing", Heather said.

"SUCKS!" Lindsay yelled.

Chris laughed. "Do you all share a brain or something? Anyways, follow me to the elimination bonfire where I'll introduce to you how this special season of Total Drama will work out.

*the cast are seen at the bonfire with Chris in front of them*

Chris took a big whiff of air. "Ah, the sweet smell of tension. I remember how it felt to hand out the marshmallows during TDI. So many good memories..." Chris said getting drifted back into thought. He quickly snapped out of it once Leshawna snapped him out of it.

"Oh, what? Where are we? Oh yeah, i'm explaining to you all this season premise!" Chris states.

"Okay, so here's the deal, each one of you are hand picked fan favorite all stars!" He said as he started walking around the cast, "but each of you for a different reason. See, some of you stole the show with your big drama sensations," he said while looking at Heather and Leshawna, "while some of you because of your..." Chris starts using hand quotations, "outstanding personalities." He then looked to Tyler and Noah.

"Some of you got far and some of you didn't because of how you acted out though, no matter how cool you guys are. So that's why this season of Total Drama we're pitting the people who made it far and hogged the camera for themselves against those who, even though they have huge fanbases, didn't get enough time to shine as they hoped!"

Courtney raised up her hand. "Um, Chris, what does that mean?"

Chris sighed. "And I thought you were the smart one..." he grumbled under his breath. "It means this season it's the people with too much screen time vs those who didn't get enough!"

Courtney nodded her head, slowly.

"Now that we, hopefully, have no more questions, it's time for me to announce the teams! Everyone who's name I call out, go stand over to the right."

"Heather."

"Owen."

"Duncan."

"Gwen."

"Alejandro."

"Scott."

"Courtney."

"Lindsay."

"Zoey."

The 9 people are seen standing on the right side of the bonfire.

"Great! You guys will be known as the SCREEN STEALERS!" Chris announces as he throws Scott a red flag which had a camera on it.

"Really Chris?" He said out loud.

"What? Don't like it?" Chris said, smiling.

Scott rolled his eyes as he shut up.

"Good, now the rest of you..."

"Noah."

"Tyler."

"Harold."

"DJ."

"Eva."

"Leshawna."

"Geoff."

"Bridgette."

"Dawn."

"Izzy."

The 9 people stood where they were.

"You guys will be known as the Underachieving Underdogs!" Chris threw them a yellow flag with a groundhog on it.

"Ooh," Noah said, "very original Chris. Love the color."

"Thanks, Noah! Glad you like it." He told him.

"Hey!" Courtney interjected angrily. "They have a numbers advantage!"

"Suck it up! You don't have to share a bunk with Izzy."

Courtney huffed angrily, but didn't add anything else.

"Now that we have the teams set up, I guess I'm going to show you which cabins each team get!"

*screen cuts to the two teams standing in front of the two cabins.*

"Okay," Chris started to say, "left cabin is for the underdogs and the right is for the stealers. Left side for each cabin is Girls only and vice versa for the guys." He told them as the contestants nodded.

"The confessional is over there to my left," he said pointing over to the place where they would eventually let out their deepest, darkest secrets, "so if you ever want to confess something go over there and get it off your chest! But just to warn you, there are millions of people worldwide watching what you say, so choose your words wisely!"

"Now seeing as how you've all competed in a season before I guess I don't see the need to hold your hands right now. You can go and socialize or whatever teens do and I'll tell you when your first challenge is! Have fun!" He said as he started to walk off.

*camera cuts to the boys side of screen stealers*
Duncan is seen bunking with Owen and Scott bunks with Alejandro.

"Owen," Duncan said, "I get top bunk."

Owen frowned. "Why can't I have top bunk!?" Duncan sighed.

"Because if you get top bunk you break it in two while I sleep and fall over me." He explained.

"Oh, okay."

"Let's start this season right, okay men?" Alejandro said, effortlessly sliding down from the top bunk. "We are the Screen Stealers. We're on this team because we get the attention that we deserve. The other team didn't get attention for a reason."

"Yeah, Al!" Owen said excitedly, jumping up and down. The mattress quaked under him. "We got this!"

"Don't," Alejandro huffed, "call me-" The corners of his mouth turned up. "Never mind."


CONFESSIONAL: ALEJANDRO

*static*

Alejandro: Owen hasn't changed. He'a as vile and infuriating as ever. But to make it far, I need to make friends. Which will be rather difficult, considering that all of these people saw World Tour and know my tricks. But I have a lot more up my sleeve.

*static*

CONFESSIONAL OVER


*camera cuts to the girl's side of the Stealers*

Heather and Courtney both climbed up to a top bunk, not bothering to consult the others.

"Um, why do you guys get top?" Zoey asked quietly.

"What was that?" Heather asked, her voice dangerously low.

"Why do you get the top bunk? I... I can't sleep without Mike on the bottom."

"Well Multiple Freak isn't here, is he? So I guess you'll have to deal with it," Courtney added.

"Maybe I want a top bunk too," Gwen said, stepping protectively in front of Zoey.

"Here Gwen, have mine! I'll take the single!" Courtney said cheerfully.

"Zoey, take Courtney's bed."


CONFESSIONAL: COURTNEY

*static*

Courtney: Look, I know I wouldn't normally do that for someone. But I need Gwen to see that I can play to win and still be her friend.

CONFESSIONAL: GWEN

Gwen: It's obvious what Courtney is trying to do. She wants to be friends again. Well, she held a grudge against me for over a year. It's fun now that the tables are turned."

CONFESSIONAL OVER


*camera moves to the girls section of the Underachievers*

Eva plopped her stuff down on the top bunk. She settled in quickly, then jumped down, landing in push out position. She cranked out 100 before speaking again.

"You idiots gonna get ready at some point?"

"Eva," Dawn said kindly. "I know your lack of feminism has made you embrace your athletic side, but you don't need to impress anybody here."

"How did you know that?" Eva said, bewildered.

"It's in your aura."

"Whatever," she muttered. "I'm out."


CONFESSIONAL: EVA

*static*

Eva: How much does that blonde freak know? I know I've never made it far, but I'm here to win this time. That girl could mess up my plans, so she has to go.

*static*

CONFESSIONAL OVER


"Girls, we have got this!" Leshawna said, putting her cheetah print bags in the bed under Eva's. "No Heather on our team to throw off my groove!"

"Izzy wants to go look at poisonous animals!" She dashed out the door. Everyone shrugged, then resumed unpacking.

"I miss Geoffie already," Bridgette said sadly. "But you guys are cool at least."

"Blondie, I haven't forgotten Total Drama Island. You either, loudmouth. Watch your backs." Eva growled, still doing push ups.

"That was years ago. Just move on!" Leshawna said angrily. She took a deep breath. "Look, we may not love each other, but we're a team. We gotta work together."

She put out her hand. Eva stared at it for a moment; before shaking it. "I guess we're stuck together."

Bridgette smiled. "This might actually be kinda fun this time around."

Eva and Leshawna stared at her, then burst out laughing.


CONFESSIONAL: DAWN

*staric*

Dawn: It was nice to see the team bonding. I like Bridgette already, I watched the past seasons and we have a lot in common. Leshawna is loud, but she has a bright aura that is truly good. Eva is a mystery. She's had a tough life, and she thinks deciet will get her far in the game. I could feel her trying to conceal those thoughts from me, so she is hard to read. But I sensed a heartwarming burst of compassion and gratitude when Leshawna held her hand out that was truly genuine.

*camera pans to the male Underachievers cabin*

"DJ, dude, wanna bunk with me?" Geoff said happily.

"Sure, man. You got top? I need to be able to pet Bunny while I sleep."

"You brought Bunny?" Harold said uncertainly. "Fact: I have multiple allergies that having an animal in the bunk would not help."

"No worries," DJ said. "Bunny wouldn't hurt a flea." He pulled the rabbit out of his suitcase, and began lovingly petting it. "I'm here for you Bunny," he cooed.

"One of our teammates is talking to a stuffed animal. I'm sure this team will fly right to victory." Noah said monotonously.

"Yeah, bro! I'm pumped!" Tyler said. "I'm top!" He climbed to the top, and fell down, landing with a thud. "On second thought, I'm bottom."

Harold put his luggage above Tyler, and Noah took the single.

"Man, I miss Bridgey bear," Geoff said dejectedly.

"It's okay. You'll see her soon." DJ said, laying a comforting hand on his friend'a shoulder. "Yeah, you're right."


CONFESSIONAL: GEOFF

*static*

Geoff: Man, am I stoked! I'm a fan favorite, I have a chance to win one million big ones, I'm on the same team as my Bridgey, and the Latin, girlfriend seducing scum is on the other team where he can't do any damage! And if he tries anything... I'm ready to pummel him.

CONFESSIONAL OVER


"All teams, report to the mess hall!" Chris's voice blasted out of the intercom, startling the teams.

"Chica, are you ready for the challenge?" Alejandro said, sliding his arm around Heather's shoulders.

"Oh, screw this. I swore never to come back to this stupid island, and thanks to little miss CIT, here I am." She stormed away, sitting down at the table marked with an 'S.'

Courtney caught up with Gwen, who was walking alone. They stood in silence, Gwen looking anywhere but at Courtney. Eventually, Courtney got the message and walked away.


CONFESSIONAL: COURTNEY

*static*

Courtney: Gwen is blanking me! Ugh, if Mike hadn't shown her my chart we'd still be friends! You didn't hear this, but I really miss her.

CONFESSIONAL OVER


Once all of the contestants were seated, Chris strode up. "Who's ready for the first challenge?"

A couple of cheers were heard from Geoff and Tyler, but every else remained quiet.

"Good! For this challenge, we'll be playing a nice, old fashioned game of baseball!"

After a moment of disbelieving silence, everyone cracked up.

"Baseball?" Duncan snorted. "Real creative, Chris."

"Oh, I didn't even tell you the good part yet! Oh, Chef!"

Chef came out of the doorway, dressed like a cheerleader. In his hands was a torch.

"The ball with be lit on fire and pitched to you! Hit the flame ball, or you're toast!"

No one moved.

"Come on, maggots! We don't have all day!" Chef called.

Still no movement.

"The first team there gets a special reward!" He tried, and there was s mad dash for the field.


Next time on Total Drama: Screen Stealers vs Underdogs!

"Baseball? With the added effect of fire!? IZZY LIKE!"

"Pasty, why won't you just talk to me!"

"Hey Alejandro, look out!"
