Author's Notes: The summary generally explains the layout of this story; each chapter follows a day-by-day basis focusing on several campers at a time. So hopefully every character gets an appropriate amount of screen time.
Now, on with the story!

Day 1: Coming Back
!!
"Yo! I'm coming at you live from Camp Wawanakwa, somewhere in Muskoka, Ontario. I'm your host, Chris McLean."
"We all know who you are, Chris," the voice of a familiar goth girl spoke up from behind the handsome host. Gwen and the rest of the first season campers were gathered together at the campfire pit once again, but not for competitive reasons. Clearing his throat, Chris continued while casting a sideways glance at the aggravated campers.
"As I was saying, the campers from Season One of Total Drama Island have returned for a special winter and Christmas reunion. This time, however, they are here only to relax and spend time with friends and, for several of them, also their loved ones. How's that for a vacation?"
"'Vacation'? You're kidding me, right?" Leshawna asked with a skeptical expression.
"You'd think that the last reunion would have forced everything else to cancel," Duncan noted with an agitated frown.
"I'd rather spend my Christmas time at home, to be honest," DJ added.
"Yeah, this place stinks!" Eva exclaimed angrily.
"Alright, that's enough of that," Chris intervened with a frown. "You're lucky that this is a vacation and not a competition, unless that's what you want…" The campers quickly shook their heads, which the host smiled slyly. "That's what I thought. Chef will still be serving his usual meals, and the cabins are still separated for the guys and girls. Nobody will be voted off either. Any other questions?"
"Nobody will be voted off? That's a rip-off," Heather commented with a sneer. "What if there's someone who you absolutely cannot stand?"
"Too bad for us," Courtney muttered to the other girls, who chuckled at the CIT's remark. Heather glared back at them.
"You will just have to deal with it," Chris replied. "For the next twenty-five days, everyone here will be stuck on Camp Wawanakwa with each other with no outside contact except for on Christmas Eve. So get yourselves nice and comfy…for now." With one last maniacal chuckle, Chris left the campers sitting dumbfounded and shocked.
"Well…" April broke the silence with a smile. "At least most of us are here with best friends and loved ones!"
"That's right," Duncan said with a grin, wrapping an arm around his girlfriend's waist. "All of the couples here get to spend more time together. Isn't that right, guys?"
"I hear you, man," Tyler replied with a satisfied smile before he and Lindsay shared a passionate kiss. Geoff and Bridgette soon did the same.
"It's great to spend time with loved ones, especially when it's impossible to do so at any other time," Brooke stated cheerfully while hugging both Cody and Ezekiel in each arm.
"This'll be a good time to chat with ya, Cous'," Ezekiel replied to Brooke with a nod.
"I'm actually glad to be able to see you all, too," Cody said with a grin. Trent, Gwen, Leshawna, and Harold turned to each other with the same thankful feeling.
"Oh my gosh! I feel the very same way! Do you feel that way, Sadie?" Katie asked with a wide grin.
"I totally feel the same way, Katie!" Sadie replied cheerfully before both girls squealed with joy.
"Will you all just shut it?!" Heather shouted at everyone. "There is no reason to be all happy and joyful at a place like this!"
Izzy turned to Owen and grinned deviously. "Wow, somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." Owen and the rest of the campers busted out laughing at this remark, except for Heather who simply left the group in a huff and went inside the girls' cabin.
