Hey guys, it's Lily! Welcome to the first fanfic that I've written in a long time. It honestly has to be 8+ years since I've written a fanfiction, and I'm glad Smash 4 and TD have gotten my urges flowing again. The idea for this came to me about 4-5 months ago, but it wasn't until about 2 weeks ago that a fire lit up in me and I pumped this out. It also kind of helped that I switched it from being an all out new season to just a Season 1 AU, but I might end up writing a brand new season in the future when this is done and under my belt. I hope you guys enjoy it! Author out~
The camera faded into a scene of natural beauty. A gorgeous green landscape with lush forests, sparkling blue waters and bright sunshine glowing through the white clouds seemed to be untouched by the world around it. The camera slowly zoomed out to show a man standing at the edge of a dock, wearing an air of arrogance. He looked to be in his twenties, and was dressed fairly casual with the best fabric money could afford.
"Yo! This is Chris McLean coming at you from Camp Wawanakwa somewhere in Muskoka, Ontario!" Chris began, addressing his audience and flashing an award winning smile. "We're dropping the first season of what is going to be the HOTTEST reality show on T.V. right here, RIGHT NOW!" He gestured to the set behind him as he walked down the dock. "Here's the deal, we've had 22 campers sign up to come spend eight weeks at this crummy old summer camp. Here they'll have to face challenges against each other, then face the judgment of their fellow campers." At the end of the dock, he pointed to beneath him. "Every three days, a team can either win a reward or send one of their teammates down the 'Dock of Shame' to ride 'The Boat of Losers', where they will leave us forever."
A flash of white appeared as they switched locations, and now the camera showed a campfire pit surrounded by various logs and rocks to sit on. Chris popped his head back into view, pointing to behind him. "Their fates will be decided here at our dreaded Campfire Ceremonies, where one camper will not receive a marshmallow, ending their journey. After the smoke clears, only one will be left standing victorious." Chris held up the prizes as he listed them off. "And the winner will be rewarded with cheesy tabloid fame, and a small fortune which let's face it, they'll probably blow in a week!"
"But it won't be so easy for them to survive. They'll have to deal with black flies, grizzly bears." A shot of a grizzly bear fighting off the flies is shown. "The most disgusting camp food I've ever seen." We see a bowl filled with unidentifiable sludge. "And, most importantly, each other."
"Each moment will be caught on one of our hundreds of cameras we have set up around the camp site." Multiple shots are shown of cameras scattered all around, some in the most ridiculous of places including a bird's nest and one carelessly taped to the top of a Totem pole.
"Who will crumble under the pressure? Find out right now on Total Drama Island!" Chris ends with great enthusiasm, giving one last big arm gesture as the camera faded to black.
*Theme Song*
~Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine, you guys are on my mind~
The camera zooms around Chris in a director's chair and up an extremely tall cliff, then down into the waters below. The camera surfaces to see Brooke and Reiden floating in a raft together, noses buried into their electronics. A seagull drops down and swoops up Brooke's game system and as she reaches for it the raft tips over landing both teens in the water.
~You asked me what I want to be and I think the answer is plain to see, I wanna be famous~
The camera follows the seagull into the forest, where Jackie can be seen running away from Dan. Jessica is watching the scene and laughing hysterically, while Jason just shakes his head looking disappointed. The camera pans to see Nick pressing some logs he found while Misha stares at him dreamily.
~I wanna live close to the sun, well pack your bags because I've already won~
Fable and Nathan are arguing about something in a canoe that goes over a waterfall. Nathan's shirt gets caught on a rock while Fable continues to fall and splashes into the water. Arabelle is seen trying to bully Jamie but gets drenched by Fable's landing. Jamie gets a tiny smile as Arabelle starts to chew out Fable who looks hopelessly confused.
~Everything to prove nothing in my way, I'll get there one day~
The camera then switches to inside the Main Lodge where Chef is preparing something gross while Lloyd and Landon are both tied up, looking scared for their lives. The camera pans to the right to see Ashley and Jake sitting together, Ashley is babbling to him and Jake looks uncomfortable.
~I wanna be famous, Nanana'nanaana nana nana~
Missy is taking a jog along the shore line and stops to flirt with Scott who is clearly not interested. Renard sneaks up behind Scott and shoves him into her, running away with a mischievous grin on his face. Scott glares after him but is dragged into a suffocating hug from Missy.
~I want to be, I want to be, I want to be famous! I want to be, I want to be, I want to be famous!~
Amelia is standing on the dock admiring her reflection in a hand mirror. Renard stops on the dock to catch his breath, and spots Amelia. He thinks for a moment then a lightbulb appears above his head. He slams himself into Amelia sending them both off the dock. When they surface Amelia starts punching Renard's shoulder and he just floats there laughing at how it doesn't hurt him at all. The camera pans to the sun as it changes into a moon and pans back down. Lily and Silabus are seen sitting together in front of the fire, the attraction between the two painfully obvious. They are both too shy to go any further and look away from the other blushing. The camera zooms out to show all of the campers, Chris, and Chef around the campfire roasting marshmallows and whistling the rest of the opening.
The rest of the theme is whistled then fades to black~
The camera faded back in showing Chris's smiling face. "And now the moment we've been waiting for, it's time to meet our campers! Oh yeah, we also told them that they would be staying at a five-star resort so if they seem a little ticked, that's probably why." The very first boat is shown driving up the dock. "First to arrive on the island is Nick!" As his name was announced a tall, muscular boy stepped off the boat. He had dark blonde hair cut short with bright blue eyes that complimented his tan nicely. He wore a blue and white jersey with matching shorts, white socks and white high tops.
"It's great to finally be here man!" He exclaimed, holding his hand out for Chris to shake. Chris accepted it and the teen walked to the end of the dock without realizing he had been lied to. Chris snickered and then gestured to the boat.
"Next we have Scott!" Another tall boy stepped onto the dock, albeit a bit paler. He had chocolate brown hair swept to the side in a surfer's cut and eyes the same color. A black jacket over a black shirt and dark blue ripped jeans with white Nikes adorned the smiling teen. To complete his ensemble a pair of sunglasses sat atop his hair.
"Wow, this doesn't look anything like the website." Scott said, lips twitching a bit. The host smirked.
"Yeah, that's because I lied." Scott stood there for a moment with his eye beginning to twitch along with his lip. He opened his mouth to say something but then immediately closed it.
"So, this is where we are staying?" The obviously annoyed teen choked out. Chris chuckled, his grin only growing wider.
"Nope, this is where YOU'LL be staying. My crib is an airstream with A.C. over that way." The amused host responded pointing off into a random direction. Scott took a deep breath and left to join Nick at the end of the dock.
"Wonderful." He said with fake enthusiasm. He crossed his arms and leaned against the pole, ignoring Nick who was trying to start conversation with him.
Another boat had arrived and dropped off the next contestant, another male. His hair was a darker shade of brown compared to Scott's, and the same length as Nick's. He too had a pair of brown eyes and a dazzling smile. What he wore was a bright blue shirt designed to match a police officer's uniform tucked into black jeans with black sneakers.
"Welcome to Camp Wawanakwa Silabus!" Chris greeted the newest arrival.
"Thank you Chris! I must say it's an honor to meet you." Silabus said to his host. The teen looked around the set and a look of confusion found it's way to his features. "Although, are you sure we're in the right location? Where's the five star resort?"
"The world's best cheat over there lied to us." Scott called from his spot, still huffing. "There is no five star resort." Silabus' jaw dropped at his words.
"Surely he's kidding?" He asked, not wanting to distrust Chris before the game even started. The host laughed and he frowned.
"Fraid not dude, you're stuck here in this crummy old summer camp!" Before Silabus could say another word he was shooed to the end of the dock with the others. He found a place next to Scott, the frown deepening with each step. Nick once again tried to strike up a conversation, but neither of the other teens were having it. "Now let's say hello to Fable!" A much shorter teen male stepped off this time, with shoulder length brown hair and bright green eyes. Thick rimmed black glasses laid on his nose and a tattered black jacket was worn over a green t-shirt. He also had on a pair of khaki shorts that showed off his sickly pale legs, and worn out black Skechers. What was most peculiar about this contestant was that he held a book to his chest like it was his last line of defense. Scott let out a laugh and earned himself a glare from Silabus.
"H-hi Chris. It's n-nice to finally be here." Fable told the host, clutching the book even tighter. Chris frowned.
"Are you ok man? You look like you're about to be sick." Fable nodded, silently cursing his nerves for betraying him.
"Y-yeah. Just a little n-nervous." He responded. "I know I've never been to one, b-but this doesn't look like a -"
"HE LIED!" Scott yelled. Chris glared at the teen behind him.
"Shut up Scott, I'm the one who gets to tell them that!" Chris scolded. Scott rolled his eyes and went back to pouting. Turning his attention back to Fable, Chris smiled again. "But yeah, he's right. You're not staying at a five star resort."
Fable's eyes widened and he took a subconscious step back. "W-what?! Why did you tell us we were-"
"And here comes Lily!" Chris announced, shoving Fable towards the end of the dock. Fable couldn't catch his balance, and was about to hit the floor when Nick ran forward to catch him. Fable thanked the tall blonde, blushing just a bit. Nick smiled a boastful smile and finally got his first conversation going with the short bookworm. Off the next boat stepped a petite girl with long black hair and dark brown eyes. Her skin was darker than the boys, and she had on a pink off the shoulder top over a pair of black leggings. A pair of black ballet flats and a small white shoulder purse gave her a fashion forward look. She smiled and clapped her hands together in excitement.
"I'm so happy to be here Chris! I've been dying to meet you since I saw you on that ice-skating show!" Lily exclaimed, earning the stares of all the other contestants. "I absolutely love ice skating plus the costumes are totalement fantastique!" She giggled and went to join the boys at the end of the dock.
"I saw that!" Nick piped up, breaking out of a heated debate of brains vs brawns with Fable. "One of the guys dropped his partner on her head, so they got immunity that week."
"You speak French?" Silabus asked while he went to stand next to her.
"Only a little. I've taught myself a few choice phrases for special occasions." Lily answered, turning her head away in attempt to hide the small blush that creeped on her cheeks. Whether she realized she'd been lied to or not remained unclear. The next boat dropped off another tall male with short black hair that held a slight curl, dark brown eyes and skin that looked similar to Lily's. A plain red polo, beige pants and white sneakers is what this teen wore.
"Everyone, say hello to Dan!" Chris said, giving Dan a large smile. "You were one the most eager candidates for the show weren't you Dan?"
"Indeed I was McLean, if only because when my comedian career takes off this will make great material!" The teen explained, thriving with energy. "You'll be able to say you knew me when Chris ol' pal."
"Don't call me that." The host told Dan. The teen examined his surroundings.
"We're not staying at a resort are we McLean?"
"No Dan, no we are not." Chris answered, smirking. Everyone was confused when Dan threw his fist in the air.
"YES! This will make a much better opening to my first show." He went to join the other contestants, which were all staring at him as if he were crazy.
"Oookay then…" Chris said slowly, before turning his attention back to the task at hand. "And now we have Lloyd." A medium-height boy stood next to Chris, waving at the camera. Everything the boy wore was white: His shirt, his pants, and his converse were all the same color. It looked good in contrast to his tan skin, black hair and hazel eyes. "Wow, you must really like the color white." Lloyd nodded and went straight to the other campers, saying nothing. Chris looked annoyed at his decision. "Well you're no fun."
"You have five seconds to explain what the hell is going on McLean." Said a low, female voice. Chris jumped a little and forced a smile while he introduced the next teen.
"Everyone, this is Jackie." Jackie glared and grabbed the host's shirt collar. "I don't like surprises Chris, so there better be a five star resort somewhere behind those crappy cabins." The irritated girl wore a black tank top with black fishnet gloves, dark purple skinny jeans with a skull belt, and black boots decorated with locks. A lip piercing matched her purple lipstick, her cloudy blue eyes were filled with anger and her long raven black hair flowed down to the middle of her back.
"Well aren't you a tough cookie." Chris taunted, knowing she couldn't do anything to him. "Unfortunately for you, there isn't. Just myself and your fellow campers." Jackie growled and let go of the host, sharing the same knowledge as Chris.
"This cannot get any worse." Jackie muttered to herself as she stomped her way over to the rest of the group. She found a place next to Dan to which he gasped.
"My my, who are you my exotic beauty?" The look of disgust shot at him didn't phase Dan at all, and he took a hold of one of her gloved hands. "My name is Dan, but you can just call me Mr. Right." He placed a kiss on her hand and she tore it away from him.
"Back off creep." She spat, wiping the kiss off on her jeans. Scott started laughing at the scene
"Is that seriously the best line you have?" He asked in between his fits of laughter. Dan seemed unfazed by Scott's words and only smiled.
"I only speak the truth my friend." was the teen's response, winking at Jackie. Jackie rolled her eyes and moved towards Nick, who seemed too afraid to say anything to her.
"That was the most life I've seen from you guys yet!" Chris stated, pleased to see things were heating up after a span of boring. "Keep it up, I was about to fall asleep."
"Um hello? Mr. Host?" Another female voice said from behind. It belonged to a girl about the same height as Fable, with long, curly blonde hair and dark blue eyes. She wore a red sleeveless top with a black skirt and black heels. "Could you please direct me to the spa? I've had the most horrid ride."
"Welcome Misha." Chris greeted. "I'm totally not sorry to tell you that there is no spa here. What you see is what you get." Misha sighed and walked straight past Chris.
"I should have known I was being lied to. What kind of resort name is Wawanakwa?" Scott whistled as Misha walked to the end of the dock, and Nick made his way to meet her halfway.
"Hey there beautiful, I'm Nick." He held his hand out and Misha gracefully accepted, even adding a small curtsy.
"Pleasure to meet you Nick." Nick offered his arm and Misha took it, finding a place together behind Jackie.
"You're pretty dolled up for something this intensive." Nick pointed out. Misha shrugged and smoothed out her skirt.
"I was always taught from a young age to treat everything like an occasion." She responded. "That includes dressing the part."
"Our next camper has arrived! Welcome Jessi- " Before Chris could finish his sentence a small duffle bag was thrown on his stomach. He looked up and glared at the girl standing in front of him. She had shoulder-length ash blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She wore a purple tank top and dark blue denim shorts with black leggings underneath. To finish her look she had on a pair of black high tops. "Jessica." The host finished, throwing the bag back at her.
"Chris where the hell is my brother!" Jessica yelled, placing her hands on her hips. "You said Jason and I were arriving in the same boat!" Chris gave a devilish smile, he knew he was going to enjoy her reaction.
"Yeah, the producers didn't really agree with that so he'll be showing up dead last." Jessica's hands reached for his throat, but a thick contract landed in front of them. The girl continued to fume as she stood next to Jackie, who looked as pissed off as she was. "And before you say anything, yes I lied about the resort." Jessica shut her mouth and kicked the pole next to her. Chris glared at her. "Hey, careful with that! We don't need you going under so early."
"Going under already?! AWESOME!" shouted the next boy who jumped onto the dock. He was the tallest contestant thus far, with shaggy brown hair and dark brown eyes. An orange shirt was what he wore, along with some white pants and black jordans. Most curiously, a pair of fox ears and a tail could be seen. "I knew this show was going to thrill me, but I didn't think it'd happen so quickly!"
"Easy there Renard." Chris said, staring at the ears that seemed to move. "We're not doing anything, you guys are just arriving. Although I might need to do something to get the energy moving again." Renard's tail wagged behind him as he walked to the end of the dock, standing next to Scott. Scott looked at the teen with contempt.
"You mind not standing next to me freak?" He said, eyes staring daggers. "I don't want your problems rubbing off on me." Renard frowned for a moment, but his smile came back and he threw his arm over Scott's shoulder pulling him close.
"Trust me, I'm harmless." The taller boy said with a very slight hint of malice in his voice. Scott struggled but ultimately could not get out of the hold. Chris chuckled at the two teens.
"Now that's what I like to see. And now to welcome Missy!" As her name was called, a girl around the same height as Nick stepped off her boat. She had long red hair tied into a messy ponytail and dark brown eyes. She had on a blue tank top, brown work out pants and black Adidas.
"Thanks so much for having me McLean. I'm a big fan." She said, a bit more seductively than expected. "Probably your biggest. I don't watch anything unless it has your hunky self in it." Missy blew a kiss and went to join her fellow campers, leaving Chris to stand there unsure of how to react.
"Couldn't you have thought of a less gross way of kissing up to the host?" Jackie said, her nose turned upwards in disgust. "He's like twice your age." Missy rolled her eyes, standing a bit too close to Scott for his liking.
"Age is but a number." Missy said making eyes at the still trapped teen boy. Scott shuddered and tried to ignore her burning stare. Jackie was about to retort when the next contestant arrived. Chris snapped out of whatever thought he was in and gestured towards the boat.
"Brooke! Nice to have you with us." He said as she stepped down. It was another petite girl, with shoulder length black hair with a single purple streak going down the side. Her glasses looked exactly like Fable's and hid her light brown eyes. She is wearing a forest green t-shirt, a dark brown skirt that ends just above the knee and brown ankle boots. The golden triangle barrett in her hair shimmers in the sunlight, and she shyly waves to everyone. "You just recently turned 16, making you the youngest competitor here. How do you feel about that?" The girl doesn't answer right off the bat, as if she's waiting for something. Chris rolled his eyes and an awkward moment of silence is held. "Fine. How do you feel about that Princess?" Chris sighed, giving into the young girl's request. Brooke smiled a wide smile.
"I feel pretty pumped about it Chris! I may be the youngest but that won't deter me!" She said with great confidence and skipped to the end of the dock. She stood right next to Dan and giggled. "You're cute." Dan laughed and bowed towards the girl.
"I'm flattered Princess. However, my heart already belongs to another." He said, blowing a kiss to Jackie. Jackie responded by flipping him off and he sighed happily.
"How...cute…" Chris said, still annoyed at what the camper made him do. A scream was heard behind him, and the usual cocky Chris came back out. "Ah, I see Amelia has made it safely." The girl had shoulder length, curly auburn hair and bright blue eyes. She is wearing a white blouse, blue jeans and white ballet flats. A gold bangle hangs off her left wrist and jiggles around while she throws her hands around.
"CHRIS MCLEAN EXPLAIN YOURSELF THIS INSTANT!" Amelia screamed, stamping her foot down. The host couldn't help but laugh at the spectacle in front of him.
"Jeez, it's nice to meet you too." He joked, ducking to avoid what had to be the weakest punch ever thrown. "You got lied to doll, nothing else to it." Amelia let out an "ugh" and turned around to hop back on her boat, only to watch it sail away.
"You CANNOT make me stay here! This isn't what I signed up for!" She voiced, only to have a contract shoved into her face. Yanking it out his hands, she ripped it up and dropped it into the water.
"Good thing about lawyers Amelia, which I'm sure you know with how much your dad has sued, is that they make LOTS of copies." Chris holds up an extra 2 copies of the same contract Amelia threw into the water. The brunette huffs and walks over next to Nick.
"Hey there big guy." Amelia said, batting her eyes and turning up her charm factor. Nick offered his other arm to the girl. Amelia took it with a smug smile now on her lips, masking the anger that still boiled beneath her skin.
"Someone's a bit out of their element." Jackie mocked. Amelia's head whipped in her direction, the anger resurfacing.
"Shut it weird bitch." Amelia shot back. Jackie smirked and decided it would be better to leave it at that. They would be plenty of time to push the fellow girl's buttons over the next weeks. Maybe this wasn't such a waste of time after all. Amelia rolled her eyes and tugged Nick, bringing him closer to her. Misha frowned as she was jerked to the left, clutching onto Nick tighter. Nick, obviously enjoying this, smiled smugly.
"Contestant number 15 is Landon. What's up dude?" Chris asked the lanky, pale teen. He had unkempt, sandy blonde hair that ended right below his ears, and bright green eyes. This teen is wearing a black t-shirt with a picture of the Milky Way galaxy and white letters stating "YOU ARE HERE" in bold print, along with khaki shorts and black Vans. He smiled and pointed upwards.
"A lot of amazing things Chris. We have our own Solar System and our Milky Way galaxy, but we also have so many other wondrous things like the Andromeda galaxy, Triangulum Galaxy, supernovas-"
"That's not what he meant you geek." Scott said, not even trying to escape Renard's grasp anymore. "Not like you would have anything to talk about."
"No need to be mean about it dude. It happens." Silabus said, not liking Scott's tone.
"Yeah, chill dude." Lily added.
"Ooooh, whoops. Sorry, I just get so excited to talk about her." Landon said, high fiving Chris before walking to the others.
"Who's her?" Misha asked, tugging Nick back towards her being. Amelia glared at the blonde and tugged Nick back, putting Nick in the center of a tug of war.
"Now now ladies, there's enough of me to go around." Nick said, laughing at the two girls fighting over him.
"Why, Space herself." Landon answered.
"Space doesn't h-have a gender." Fable said, looking up from his book. "Space isn't even an a-animate object."
"Well duh, I know that." Landon told the boy. "To me however, Space is a beautiful woman who's an endless mystery waiting to be solved."
"Wow, and I thought you had issues." Scott said to Renard who only shrugged.
"I can respect the dedication at least." Renard responded to the rude teen, and finally released him from his grip. Scott moved to the opposite side of the dock and Missy followed him.
"Hey there cutie." Missy said, winking at Scott. Scott let out an annoyed sigh.
"Listen, I'm not interested nor will I ever be. Go bug someone else." He told the girl. Missy didn't budge, causing Scott to face-palm. "Whatever, just don't get in my way alright?"
"Jake's here!" Chris announced, getting the show back on track. A teen as tall as Renard was on the dock now with shoulder length, feathered black hair. His light skin and bright blue eyes stood up in comparison to his dark wardrobe which consisted of nothing but black. Black hoodie, black shirt, black pants and black sneakers. It was the complete opposite of Lloyd.
"First an all white, then an all black?" Chris asked, shaking his head. "You guys aren't very creative with your clothing choices." Jake said nothing as he walked by and stood next to Lloyd, looking like a human Ying Yang symbol. "And again I get nothing, what are you guys mutes?"
"No, I just don't see a point in talking to you right now." Jake responded, Lloyd nodding in agreement.
"I want everyone to get here before I start introducing myself further." Lloyd said right after. "I don't feel like doing it over and over again when there's 6 contestants left to arrive."
"HEY LOSERS, FUTURE WINNER COMING THROUGH!" The next female contestant shouted as she approached the dock. An aura of intimidation seemed to radiate off her, and even Chris shuddered as she stepped off her boat. She had fiery red hair tied into a loose braid that hung off her right shoulder, and wore a black halter with red skinny jeans, black fingerless gloves and black combat boots. The intensity that glowed within her emerald green eyes was enough to reduce a small child to tears.
"Speaking of remaining contestants, here's Arabelle." She walked to the end of the dock and laughed.
"Where's my competition Chris?" Arabelle taunted. "Surely these clowns are just here for decoration?"
"Excuse me, but my make-up happens to look just fine." Amelia retorted. "And I wouldn't go around calling people clowns dressed like that."
"You want to go priss?" Arabelle threatened. Amelia stepped behind Nick and the red-head smirked.
"That's what I thought, bitch. Now clear a space for me." She ordered. Lily pulled Silabus to the side with her, visibly frightened by the new girl. Misha also pushed Nick over and joined Amelia behind him when Arabelle took her place. Jackie grinned and walked up to her.
"I think we're going to get along just fine." Arabelle stared for a moment, then put her hand up to Jackie's face.
"Sorry babe, but I ain't here to make friends." Jackie scowled at being called "Babe" but backed off. Arabelle noticed Lloyd staring at her. "What are you staring at, monochrome?"
"I've never seen a girl like you in real life before." Lloyd responded. The teen raised a brow and crossed her arms.
"What is that supposed to mean?" She growled. Lloyd gulped and put his hands up in a defensive position.
"You're loud..and scary…" He answered, preparing to get punched. Arabelle shook her head at his fear.
"Hmph, suppose I should take that as a compliment." The dock was eerily quiet after that with the occasional cough. No one said a word, afraid to light the fuse of the female time bomb. Even Chris stood there awkwardly although he was tapping his foot. The next contestant was late in arriving and he knew the audience was going to get bored. He sighed in relief as the next boat sailed into view, holding a gangly teen who happened to be the palest contestant yet. He didn't seem concerned about the moving boat beneath him as he was pre-occupied in whatever was going on in the laptop he held in his arm. The boy continued to click away the keys even after the boat had gotten to the dock, and another awkward moment of silence passed before Chris spoke up.
"Uh, Reiden? You there bro?" At the sound of his name he looked up and gasped.
"Oh wow, I'm here already? That was fast!" Reiden said appearing to be genuinely shocked. The teen wasted no time in pulling a business card out of seemingly no where and shoved it into the host's hands. "Mr. McLean it's a pleasure to meet you. I might be young but I'm actually working on starting a career as a freelance graphic designer so if you ever need anything done or-"
"Look our next contestant is here!" Chris exclaimed, cutting Reiden off. The pale teen looked annoyed but found a place next to Brooke at the end of the dock. He went back to clicking away on his laptop, completely oblivious to the fact that Brooke was gawking at him like she had seen a ghost. The boat had dropped off another short boy with a little bit of muscles on his bones. He is wearing a tan shirt over a white undershirt, grey pants and black sneakers with multi-colored laces. His brunette hair was styled into a messy fauxhawk and his hazel eyes showed no emotion along with the rest of his face. The newest teen gave a glance behind Chris.
"So you mean this show is at some crappy summer camp?" Chris nodded and the boy was quiet for a moment. "That means you lied to everyone already here and everyone who arrives after me." The host gave a wide grin.
"That's exactly what it means Nathan." Chris told him. Nathan shrugged and went to join his fellow campers at the end of the dock. He didn't say another word and continued to wear the same expressionless stare. It caused Chris to shudder a bit, but the sounds of another boat arriving caught his attention. A tall, slim red-headed girl jumped onto the dock smiling from ear to ear. The camera panned from the bottom up to show she was wearing a light pink tank top, a bright red skirt and black wedges. A small pink scarf was tied around her neck and her bright brown eyes shone with an excitement that matched no other. Chris was overwhelmed by the wave of energy floating off her, but kept it cool for the cameras. "Welcome to Camp, Ashley."
"Hi-hi Chris McLean! It's sooooo nice to finally be here with you I've been dreaming about this moment since the moment I sent my application in and I almost couldn't believe you actually picked me my mom didn't believe me I had to send her the e-mail and everything!" She finished, waving ridiculously fast at the same time she spoke. Before Chris could get a word in, she gasped. "Ohmigosh are those my fellow cast members?!" She exclaimed and ran down to the end of the dock. She stopped right in front of Jake and stared at him with her large grin. Jake didn't notice at first, so when he looked down to see what everyone was looking at he almost jumped back. Ashley still said nothing even as Jake stared back.
"Um, can I help you?" He asked feeling rather uneasy. He wasn't used to girls being so interested in him, hell he wasn't used to ANYONE being this interested in him. Ashley just giggled and grabbed his arm, snuggling up the giant.
"You're tall." were her only words. Most of the cast snickered while Jake stood there with no idea how to respond.
"Thanks for...noticing?" Jake said to the girl, who was now permanently attached to his right arm.
"That girl has issues." Arabelle sneered.
"Hey now, there's nothing wrong with her being excited." Nick rebuttled.
"But there's a difference between being excited and being crazy." Jackie chimed in.
"I don't think it's fair to classify her as crazy so soon." Silabus said to the others.
"I agree, let's give her at least a little bit longer to prove us wrong." Misha added.
"Y-you guys...she's r-right there." Fable stuttered. "Sh-she can hear you." It seemed to be the complete opposite however, as Ashley kept her gaze forward without even flinching at the words being said as if they went through one ear and straight out the other. Jessica shifted her stance and looked away.
"She's starting to creep me out something fierce." The blonde commented. "Not even my brother goes this long being quiet."
"You know, I like her." Chris admitted, gaining a few confused looks. "What? I have a feeling she'll bring in some great ratings."
"I hardly doubt she'll bring more ratings than myself Chris." Amelia said, fluffing her hair a bit with her free hand. "I'm the only reason the male audience will even be tuning in."
"You're right, guys LOVE watching stupid people." Arabelle scoffed. The brunette turned to say something back, but Chris cleared his throat.
"We're almost done campers, this is the 2nd to last contestant. Say hello to Jamie!" He gestured to the newest female, but there wasn't much to see. She was gangly like Landon, and her clothes had seen better days. She is wearing a black sweatshirt with bleach stains, faded grey jeans and dark grey vans, which might have been white at another time. Her red hair was dark and messy hanging in loose, limp strands and her grey eyes had no shine to them. She looked like the wind would swoop her up and take her away at any given moment. "Gotta be honest with you Jamie, you don't look like the type of person for this show."
"I'm not." She replied matter-of-factly. "In fact, when I heard about this stupid show I wanted nothing to do with it. I knew it was a scam the minute you showed your face McLean." The girl sighed before continuing her story. "However, my stupid mother and my stupid sister thought it would be hilarious to enter me as a joke and they wouldn't let me back out of it once they learned I got picked."
"That's horrible!" Lily exclaimed.
Jamie ignored her and kept going. "I basically had zero say on the matter, even though they entered me without my permission. So now I'm stuck here with the rest of these poor souls." Jamie deliberately found a spot farthest away from the rest of the teens and said nothing else. If anything, she looked like she was about to cry.
"Man... " Chris started, looking pretty solemn. "I KNEW this show was a good idea!"
"You cannot possibly keep this girl against her will!" Lily yelled, distraught. "Surely you can find the 23rd entrant and swap them?" Jamie hid her face in her hands, embarrassed Lily was making such a fuss.
"Please stop…" Jamie groaned from beneath her fingers. "It's fine, now that I'm here I might as well try to enjoy myself."
"You can't enjoy yourself if you never wanted to come!" Lily took a breath, about to continue her rant when Jessica shoved her aside and sprinted to the end of the dock. She landed into Silabus' arms, causing them both to blush massively.
"Hey, save the pushing for the competition." Renard complained. "Don't be wasting your strength so soon!" Chris barely stepped back in time to avoid being toppled by Jessica. His earlier glare returned as she embraced the skinny boy stepping off the boat. His ash blonde hair ended right below his ears and was gelled back. He is wearing a navy blue button-up shirt with black slacks and black dress shoes.
"Oh Jason I'm so glad you're ok!" Jessica shouted, tightening the grip on him. "I panicked when the boat left without you, and then Chris said you were coming last-"
"I'm fine sis." Jason gasped, struggling to breath under his sister's iron grip. "Jess I can't breathe!" The girl let go of her brother and started fixing his hair, to which he swatted her hands away. "For crying out loud Jessica you're my sister, not my Mom."
"I can't help it, Mom made me promise to watch over you when we left." Jessica replied, fighting the urge to start fixing his hair again. "Are you sure you're fine? You're not hungry or anything?" Jason rolled his bright blue eyes at his sibling.
"I'm fine Jess. Honestly."
"Oh my god Twins!" Ashley squealed, causing all around her to jump. Jake, surprisingly, was unaffected. "I've never met twins before, can you guys like read each others mind?!" Jessica narrowed her eyes and shook her head, while Jason let out a nervous laugh.
"It's impossible to read minds." Nathan responded. "Being a twin does not make it possible, that's not how the world works Ashley."
"Alright Campers, that's all 22 of you!" Chris announced, with an excited grin. "Take a good look around you, because these are the people you will be spending the next eight weeks with." A few flirtatious smiles, glares, and eye rolls were exchanged among the teenagers. "Now, we need a shot of you guys together for the promo so gather on over here." The gang of 22 walked over and stood in two rows with the girls in front and the guys in back. Chris took out his camera and set it up after jumping on the boat. "OK, One two three!" The teens started to get up when the host waved them back down. "Hold on, I forgot the lens cap." A collective group sigh moved among the group as they got back into position. "No one move until I say so got it?"
"Got it!" Lily piped up.
"Alright, let's try this again. One, two, and -" Almost like he planned it, Chris had to put the camera down a second time. "Whoops card's full!"
"Get on with it!' Jackie shouted, slapping away Dan's hand from her shoulder for about the tenth time. "I cannot be held responsible for what's going to happen to this idiot!"
Chris snickered and held the camera up once again. "This should work for sure this time. Everybody say 'Wawanakwa!'" The campers shouted in unison, however the cheerfulness was soon replaced by fear as the dock broke beneath them, plummeting everyone into the water.
"WHAT THE HELL MCLEAN!" Jackie, Arabelle, and Amelia all screamed.
"WOOOO! LET'S DO THAT AGAIN!" Renard yelled, obviously the only one enjoying himself.
"That was so not planned by the way." Chris responded, lying through his teeth. He landed safely on the shore line and pointed in the direction of the camp. "Dry off and meet me at the fire pit in ten minutes!"
