A/N: Alrighty, so all day yesterday I watched the TDI/TDA marathon since the 3rd season had premiered on Cartoon Network last night, aaand while re-watching those seasons I got the idea to write a bunch of one-shots from both of them, and since TDI aired before TDA I decided to do an ABC's of that first. I thought I would be a fun different task since I've kinda had writer's block on my other story Break and Enter, and I thought to shake things up a bit I would do a one-shot of at least every character, episode, genre, etc.

So, R&R and enjoy!

Arrival-

(Chris McLean's POV)

I sighed to myself as the first boat came into view of the island. I mean how in the hell did I end up hosting yet another lame excuse for a reality show. I've been in the business long enough that I should be up there with the big dogs like Ryan Secrest, Jeff Probst, or even Cat Deeley, but no…I'm stuck on a crappy island with an ex con chef babysitting a bunch of immature sixteen year olds. Life couldn't get any better right?

I snapped out of my trance when the first contestant, a short, brunette with large thick glasses, and flashy braces hopped off the boat, attempting to pull her luggage out of the boat, and on to the dock next to her. Unable to do so, the camera crew had to assist her, which was when she took the opportunity to run towards me screaming at the top of her lungs.

"Chris McLean!" She said hugging me.

"Beth…!" I said I little less enthused. "Welcome to the island!" I said putting on an obviously fake smile that she was unable to detect.

"Thank you! It's so incredulous to meet you…wow, you're a lot shorter in person…"

"Uh, gee, thanks…" I said rubbing the back of my neck uncomfortably. Great, not only could I barely understand this kid's vocab, but now she was making fun of my genetics? Well, that made one person who was already on my bad side.

After that these teens started to flood into the island like crazy. The funny part was seeing how these kids were gonna react to each other over the summer cause they sure came in different stereotypes. Goths, bimbos, party boys, punks, wanna be jock, bitches, surfer chicks, straight up losers, ghetto girls, nerds, know-it-alls, over eaters, drop dead gorgeous (and that means a lot coming from me), uptight and bossy, etc. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all…

Once they stood on the dock shoulder to shoulder I smiled the biggest, fakest smile possible, and announced. "Welcome to: Total. Drama. Island!" receiving numerous groans, a few cheers, and an occasional blank stare. My big dopey smile instantly morphed into an annoyed frown. Never mind, this was going to be a looooong summer…

"So..." I said trying to break the ice with these awkward teens. "How you all get together so we can take some pictures for the promos." The all exchanged looks and shrugged their shoulders before following me down the dock. "Not much of a lively bunch are we?" I teased.

"Oh stuff it McLean!" A tall, skinny girl with "expensive" looking sunglasses covering her eyes that were probably staring daggers at me spat.

"Whoa, chill bra. Was just trying to lighten the mood..." I said rolling my eyes. "Alright so why don't all of you get together, and yeah just like that." I said as they moved into a group bickering at each other for not being able to see, or for stepping on someone's foot accidentally. Pssh, teens.

"Alright," I said backing away from them so I could everyone of their sour faces into the frame. "On the count of three say "Wawanakwa!" One...two...three!" I said. Most of them flashed a small grin, and some continued to pout as in unison they said:

"Wawanak-!" Before they had the chance to finish the old worn out dock below them collapsed. Sending teen after teen shrieking, screaming, and cursing into the water. On the other end of the dock with the camera still in my hands, my brain had just put together what had happened, and couldn't help, but to die laughing.

"Aaaaahahaha!" I laughed uncontrollably. "Dudes! These are sooo going in the promos!" I said holding up the camera that had caught the event of theses teens nearly drowning in the water below me. After laughing my ass off at the photos the kids all flashed me an evil glare that would have sent chills down my spine if it weren't for the intense amount of pain in my stomach from all the laughter. You know what scratch everything negative I said earlier about these kids. This summer was going to be awesome!
