Disclaimer- Total Drama is not mine.

Hey dudes/dudettes! I decided to take a break from On The Run for a little while so I could write some other stuff. So the new season, I'm giving it two thumbs up personally, it's a huge step up from the last new cast. I really enjoy all the characters and my favorites so far are probably Shawn, Jasmine, Scarlett, and Max (because the guy's hilarious) I find the character Scarlett very fascinating so I thought I'd write the season from her perspective. Hope this goes well.

Episode 1- So, Uh, This Is My Team

I was seriously having doubts about this show, looking around the blimp that was taking us to the new island there were some really weird people as far as I could see. I'm about 99% certain that I could get into any collage I wanted with my off the charts IQ and participation in mathlettes, science club, student council, and the physics club. But a million dollars never hurt anyone. Let's do a checklist of all the mental hospital rejects this show has.

There was Snow White in a pink dress, maybe she was practicing for a play or something, or she was one of those people who go on reality shows so they can get discovered by people. Like that Dakota girl from last season, didn't that turn out great for her. She was sitting next to this girl with dark brown hair, the girl in question was wearing a tan tank top with a purple necklace and black leggings, she actually looked semi-normal, not too annoying, a first for this show. Right now she was offering gum to the guy she was sitting next to, and I think it's safe to say he was the weirdest looking out of all of them. He was this short, pudgy, Asian kid with purple hair and Dr. Evil clothes. He made this weird face when he was offered the gum, then changed it in a millisecond when he took it with a calm face, then made a sour face, spat it out then started ranting at the piece of gum in his hand. All right, he wasn't just the weirdest looking.

"Cinnamon! There is no need for you to be that spicy!" geez, you could have asked.

There were two girls who looked identical, no doubt twins, who were wearing red cheerleader uniforms, ugh. I always hated cheerleaders, and two of them on the show were enough to drive me insane, I hope we aren't on the same team. They switched seats for some reason after this big, hairy, black guy on the ground near them started beat boxing to the singing of Snow White. Then one of the cheerleaders who had a mole on her cheek screamed "Giant!" when she saw the girl she was sitting next to. The girl was dark skinned, wearing an Indiana Jones outfit, and really, really tall.

"Are you and I goanna have a problem?" she said it in a thick Australian accent. Whoa, I thought the show only took people from Canada.

Suddenly this guy with a muscular body, dark blond hair that was coated with gel, and wearing an outfit similar to Chris comes running around the blimp shouting for Chris. I guess we have a new Sierra people, be very afraid.

Eventually he runs into this big girl filling her nails she had a pink blouse, tight jeans, and big blond hair. The girl grabbed the Chris fanatic by his shirt coiler and pins him to the wall.

"Stop your fidgeting! You scuff my pageant shoes and I'll toss you out the window! You'll be squished flat in two minutes!" she said with a thick country accent. I figured I better not get on her bad side but I had to intervene.

"Actually, in the first fourteen seconds he would fall eighteen hundred feet, but then he would reach terminal velocity and drop a hundred and seventy-six feet per second, so if we're flying at the recommended thirty-two thousand feet, he would hit the ground in at least three minutes and six seconds." I said with out a moment of hesitation. I had to first state my self as a big intellectual to the competition and second, correct that ridiculous mathematical error. I know that she was just using a threat but I kind of had to correct her.

"Wow, that girl has some real brains, huh." spoken by a tall, really muscular guy with orange hair, a white t-shirt, and overalls. I think it's obvious that I'm smart, but it's good that I made the impression I wanted. He said it to the guy next to him who was wearing jeans, a long-sleeved white shirt, an orange vest, and a moss green toque. He had longish brown hair and a few whiskers on his chin. He immediately started freaking out at what the other guy said.

"Brains?! Whose brains?! No one is getting my brains!" riiiight. That purple haired kid has some serious competition for biggest weirdo.

The only two other left were one kid who looked almost exactly like that guy Noah from the first few seasons but there were a few differences like hair, head size, and this guy's sweater vest was blue.

Net to him was...a...guy in a wizard costume. And now that's three people in the contest for biggest weirdo. Four if you count the new Sierra.

Then the intercom comes on and that Chef guy starts talking "Hang on, this might get heary." wait what? But I don't have time to say anything because the blimp starts to shake and things start flying everywhere. The guy with the orange vest (I really have to learn their names soon) slides off his chair and Snow White is crawling around and still singing in her screams. God, we are falling to our deaths, can't you do something else?

And after a flash of lightning, which should be impossible since there's no thunderstorm, Chris appears out of nowhere.

"Hello newbies! Ready for some fun?" right after he said that his fanatic and Snow White come to his side and both say "Yes." very excitedly. I understood why the guy was saying that, but what was with that girl, she was either too optimistic or just really, really stupid. Either way I could tell I was going to dislike her a lot.

"Huh, a couple of keeners, I'm sure a little pain and starvation will fix that." Chris said with slight discomfort as he walked away. Wait did he say starvation, the pain thing I understood, but starvation?

"Let's get started, this aircraft stinks," well duh, "and is equipped with two emergency exits. Here," he motioned to the door next to him, "and one at the other end of the cabin." he pointed to the big door I was standing next to. "At said exits you will find parachutes packs, only half of them contain actual parachutes." typical. "The other half contain surprises." oh no, he said the s word. "Which will be utterly useless while falling from the sky."

"Well hopefully we won't need them." said the girl with the gum. And are there any smart people here? Have you not watched the show? There is no way this plane is not going to go down in the condition it's in and the show's reputation for endangering lives. In fact, taking all that into consideration there was a 100 percent chance the blimp would malfunction in the next 5.36 seconds. Then Chris started talking.

"Who knows, this season's full of surprises, like this," he whipped out a remote with a single red button and pushed it, I heard something explode and the blimp started going down. See? People started running around the ship for a few second waving their arms around and screaming, because that's totally going to help you escape certain death. I ran over to one of the crates and opened it, I weighed two of the bags and picked the heavier on to make sure I wasn't picking a fake. Then ran out the door with the others. I have to say, as dangerous as it was I don't think I've ever had such an adrenaline rush. I free fell for a bit and then cautiously pulled the string.

Good, mine had a parachute.

Turns out that if you didn't have a parachute you wouldn't die, you just fell in the lake, all except for that gum girl who flipped off a tree branch and dove into the lake, whoa. I landed next to the Chris fanatic right next to the lake. Wait, how did Snow White float down, with a bird? How is that possible? It's a simple matter of weight ratios; a three-ounce bird could not carry an over 90 pound girl. This. Just. Bothers. Me. And from the looks of it, it bothered Chris too. I didn't hear the conversation he was having with Chef but I did hear Chris say, "Only one missing. Not too bad" I looked around and saw that purple hair kid fall out of the tree that his parachute he was stuck to, ha.

We then followed Chris to wherever he was going and when we eventually stopped at another part of the beach, he started announcing stuff.

"Welcome to Pahkitew Island! To the right, everyone who had actual parachutes." good, I was about to learn everyone's name. "Scarlett, Topher, Rodney, Jasmine, Max, Amy, and Samey." All right then, so, uh, this is my team.

"Uh, it's Sammy." Said Sammy or Samey.

"Amy says everyone calls you Samey." Chris said.

"Well yes but-"

"Cus you're the second twin, the lesser Amy if you will." thank you captain exposition.

"But my real name is S-"

"Your officially Samey." and that closed the matter. I don't think I'd say it out loud but I felt that I liked Sammy much more than Amy, she just seemed nicer, so if she wanted to be called Sammy, that's what I was going to call her. Also it would probably tick off her sister, who as far as I could tell was much more like the cheerleaders I encounter in my school.

"Your team will be the Pimapotew Kinosewak," wow, that's a mouthful, "Which is the Cree word for Soaring Eagle." no it's not, it means floating salmon.

"Um no, sorry, wrong, that means the floating salmon." said by the gum girl. Well, she was athletic and smart, I better be careful around her.

"Oh, then I guess you're the floating salmon." oh, I guess you're an idiot. "Those without chutes, Shawn, Lenard, Ella, Dave, Beardo, Sugar and Sky. Your team is, the Waneyihtam Maskwak, which in Cree means, ferocious ti-"

"Confused Bears." corrected Sky.

Chris ripped up the notes and said to Chef, "This is what you get for using a free online translator."

Chef shrugged, said, "My bad." then walked away.

"Any who, seeing as how there's nowhere for any of you to sleep tonight," wait what? There have always been cabins, or trailers, or plane cabins, or something for the contestants to sleep in? This is what mom meant by 'fresh air' "Keep calm Scarlett, it's only for two weeks, you can do this." I thought to myself.

"We figured your first challenge should be, to build your own shelter."

"Oh muffintops, I'm too tired for that." Said Sugar as she sat on a rock, hey you should be lucky we don't have to jump off a hundred foot cliff or ride a giant totem poll down a hill like the past newbies. We got it pretty good compared to them, and what did she mean by muffintops? Then there was this fart sound but it obviously came from the guy Beardo.

"That was not me, a pageant queen never farts unless it is her talent, but there'd be more to it like maybe she'd play a flute or-" ew, but she was cut off by Chris whistling and then shouting, "Hey, fart monster, yeah, I was talking." he was standing on a huge mountain of random stuff. "Each team will take supplies from the common area before they begin to build. But, the supplies are guarded by Chef." First off, bad grammar, secondly Chef was on a nearby ledge sitting in position to shoot a tennis ball cannon. "Armed with a powerful tennis ball blaster." He jumped down. "A glancing glow will sting." As example a tennis ball was shot at Dave's head.

"OW!" Sky looked concerned, and in an act to make himself look tough he stood up straight and said, "That only hurt a little." yeah, okay you're not going to be a weak link at all.

"And a direct hit will take you right to the ground." and cue Max getting a tennis ball right in the kiwis. Ouch. "Will someone please help that little boy to his feet?" Rodney picked him up, and then dropped him immediately after. "Good enough. On with the challenge, team Maskwak will build their shelter farther in land, team Kinosewak farther down the beach. Best shelter, according to me, wins the challenge." he blew an air horn and the firing of tennis balls was massive. I don't really thinks it's physically possible to fire that many with just one cannon.

"Let's move Salmons!" Said Jasmine, and since no one had a better plan we followed her behind some tree stumps. Right after Rodney and Jasmine started talking at the same time and I couldn't hear what they were saying, mostly because I was thinking up a plan of my own.

"Just listen to the plan, we need to figure out what items are important and make sure we get them. Got it?" said Jasmine to Rodney, who kind of seemed in a daze. I guess Jasmine was the leader, which I didn't have a problem with since she seemed pretty smart and confident. "We'll send out players one by two by two so one can get the supplies and one can act as a shield, and that's how we'll win, cool?"

"With a plan that... flowers you in sunsets that aren't not true." okay, we've got one idiot babbling gibberish, two cheerleaders, Indianess Jones, the second Chris, and a purples hair weirdo on our team. We are in trouble. Jasmine looked at me obviously creeped out by whatever the guy was saying, then got really creeped out when he started making a kissy face. I had to tell the team my idea.

"Riiiiight, the wood is the most important thing out there so-" I didn't want to interrupt so I raised my hand, "If you have something to say Scarlett just bark it out."

I'm kind of a shy person, so when someone as confident as Jasmine comes along I get nervous, I adjust my glasses and say, "Um, no but the wheel barrow is more important than the wood because it's a class two lever, and with a wheel acting as a fulcrum-"

"We can carry-" Concluded Sammy, well sort of.

"Carry stuff in it! My idea, mine!" interrupted Amy, and I'm pretty sure it was my idea, typical cheerleaders.

"Nice Amy, you and Samey help Rodney load the wood into the wheelbarrow and go." Said Jasmine, and I repeat, it was my, oh never mind.

"Heavy is my heart, carrying of-" more gibberish until Amy dragged him by the ear saying, "Move it mumbles!"

We watched them try to get the supplies and Jasmine said, "Hey, brilliant idea mate."

"Oh, um, thank you Jasmine." I really don't know how to talk t people in case you haven't noticed.

We saw Amy use Sammy as a shield as Rodney got the wood, God I really wanted to punch this girl in the face already. When he was done, Rodney scooped them both up in the wheelbarrow with a large amount of wood.

"I'm going for the rope, everybody bring something good okay?" said Jasmine. "Hiyah!" she said as she jumped up, she's like the Olympic gymnast I always wanted to be.

All right I needed a strategy, I looked at the pile and saw what I needed.

"All right, if we go over there and grab the parts of the metal roof we can use them as shields and grab stuff," I say, but when I turn around only Max is there and he wasn't listening." We run out anyway and I find a wagon to substitute the wheelbarrow and load it with wood and blankets. For some really annoying reason Max gets in the wagon and shouts, "Pull faster minion, before we're-" but he gets hit in the face with a tennis ball, that's karma for you.

Before we know it Sky hits back a tennis ball that knocks out Chef and that gives us all about five minutes to get what ever we need in a tennis ball free environment. I manage to get a lot of nails and sheets of wood, perfect for a roof.

Eventually we're out of time and working on the shelter, we managed to get a lot of supplies. Jasmine starts giving orders.

"Topher, Scarlett, glue the boards. Rodney, help me with the support beam, Amy, Samey, faster!" wait, where's Max? Ah who cares?

Suddenly there's a loud sound like a drill coming from the other team.

"What are they building?" asked Sammy, a shelter, like us, that's what the challenge is. You should also know that the alphabet goes a, b, c, d...

"Sounds pretty serious." said Rodney.

"All the more reason to work harder." said Jasmine, and I had to agree with her, so we did. Unfortunately that was made hard for me since Topher would not shut up about Chris. By the way he talk you would think they were engaged or something.

And somehow in the time span we have we manage to make a pretty impressive tree house shelter. Perfectly sturdy, pretty roomy, we even made beds. Chris comes by on a jetpack once Jasmine announces its completion.

"This is nice, and a smart move building it above ground level." Why...

"Oh yeah, and why is that?" asked Max, whoa where did he come from, and where did he go? And why wasn't he there to help us? Then the ground started to shake,

"Here comes your answer." the answer came in the form of a stampede of moose. Which toppled Max, my anger with him was satisfied. "This island's a little more wild than the last one." I think season four would be to differ. Not long after he leaves there's a huge avalanche like sound and I feel pretty confident about our chances.

A little while later we're at some meeting place where Chris announces the winner.

"I'd like to say it was a hard decision but let's keep it real, Team

Pimapotew Kinosewak wins the challenge!" as expected, we all cheer and what not over our victory, I was just glad we had somewhere to sleep. We also won a take out from some restaurant that we had no intention of eating so we went back to the shelter.

As we walk back Topher says, "I knew Chris wouldn't let us loose with me here. Yup, we're pretty tight, I can tell." he said with confidence, I could tell that he was going to be very similar to the jerky guys who copied my homework. He kept rambling on, I noticed that Max had left the group again but I felt that it didn't really matter.

As we climbed up the rope latter and piled into the tree house, I notice with great discomfort that there was no barrier to separate males from females. I timidly tugged on Jasmine's sleeve and she turned around to me.

"Yeah Scarlett?"

"Um, I don't know if you noticed but there is no barrier to protect the privacy of either genders on our team so should we put up some sort of wall to make the shelter less coed." I said quickly.

"Huh, yeah, we don't want the guys peeking on us." I just nodded. I think she was trying to start up conversation because she kept talking, but small talk wasn't exactly a strong point for me.

"So, you've got a sharp mind there don't you?"

"Perfect 4 GPA and 191 IQ." I state.

"Whoa, so how come you don't talk that much? Your mind could help us loads in these challenges." She says.

"Well most of the time I find that the less one talks the more intelligent they become, also all the strategies you device seem to satisfy our team and seam to give us victory."

"All right, but make sure to contribute, you don't want to get yourself voted off." I felt my eyes widen when she said that, she wanted me to stay?
"So, I think that that guy Rodney has a slight attraction towards you." Even though I wasn't good at talking and what I talked about was painfully obvious.

"Yeah I know, don't tell him I said this but he's really weird. Besides I prefer someone else." I was slightly surprised at that. Not that I liked anyone on the island, far from it, but I didn't expect her to. All the guys here seemed either too annoying or too weird, but those kinds of people that were chosen for the show, it could make one feel sub conscious about oneself but I know that I was chosen for my larger intellect. All the guys on our team were just plain weird and annoying. Rodney just spoke gibberish, Max was the kind of person who thought he was much better than he really was, and Topher was much more into Chris. On the other team, Dave seemed to be afraid to get dirty in any way, Beardo was, well, himself, and Shawn believed zombies were real. Sure it could be possible to reanimate a corpse by channeling electricity to the nerves, but nothing would make them cannibalistic, especially for human brains. But I tried to find out never the less.

"Um, who?"

"That zombie guy, Shawn. He's hilarious, keeps pretending zombies are real, not to bad with survival either. Did you see him get that stuff for his team in a millisecond, it was amazing." okaaay then. As confused as I was at this I didn't want to stop the conversation, I don't really have any friends, unless you count the mathlettes, physics club, student council, or science club. And I defiantly wasn't used to talking about guys like this.

"Well that's great for you I guess." I said awkwardly.

"What about you? Got your eye on anyone?"

"No." I said simply.

"Got someone at home?" she asked.

"No."

"Okay then." then she stopped talking. Great, one of the only normal conversations I've ever had and I had to mess it up.

"So what should we use for the wall?" she asked.

"Well the preferable material would be something most sturdy but since we don't have the materials for that we could use cloth or branches or something." She looked like she had a plan forming. Then she took the blankets off one of the beds and then said, "We need a way to hang this up."

"Doesn't someone need that for their bed?" I ask.

"Nah, I'm sleeping on the branch up there." She said pointing up.

"Alrighty then." Sleeping in trees, that's completley normal. I walked around to find a stray nail or something to hang the blanket up with and eventually I find one in the wall, it didn't really have a reason for being there so I pulled it out and pushed it in the wall to hang up the blanket as Jasmine did the same thing on the other side.

"What are you guys doing?" a voice asked, I turned around to see Sammy walking in the room.

"Scarlett thought we should hang up a wall to keep the guys from peeking at you guys." said Jasmine as she finished.
"Um don't you mean us?" She asked.

"I'm sleeping on the tree branch."

"What if you fall off?"

"No worries." she said as she held up a rope and walked out just as Amy walked in. Great, I was stuck in a room with two cheerleaders.

"What's this?" She asked in her usual bossy voice.

"Scarlett thought we should have a wall to separate us from the guys." Said Sammy.

"Well then you can bunk with the human encyclopedia here, I'm taking this one." She said as she climbed on one of the bunks. I decided to leave her alone until I had to go back, Sammy had the same idea apparently.

"I'm really sorry about her, she hasn't always been the nicest, I'm sure she meant it as a compliment."

"How long has she been treating you like this?" I ask, she looks nervous when I ask.

"What do you mean?" She asked, even though she knew perfectly well what I meant.

"You know, walking all over you, bossing you around, taking credit for your accomplishments, making you do stuff you don't want to, insulting you when your better than she is."

"You think I'm better than her? But she's older and smarter and prettier."

"Well you seem smarter than she is, and you're a heck of a lot nicer, and in case you haven't notice, you two are identical."

"Well thanks but I don't get what being identical has to do with anything."

"It means that you're just as pretty as she is." I say bluntly.

"Okay, well first thanks, and secondly, if I'm just as good as she is then how come people like her more?"

"Well that's easy, her belief that she is better than you, not doubt coming from the fact that she's slightly older than you, makes her think that she's better than you in every way. And even though it's obvious that you're better in most areas she is obsessed with keeping better than you, so she takes credit for whatever you do and bosses you around which just confirms the power she has over you. And if you act like she'd better than you by not defending yourself others might treat you the same way." Since I was rambling I lost her focus so I summed it up. "As long as you treat he like she's better than you and don't command some respect others will treat you the same way."

"Oh my gosh your right." she said, she looked kind of sad so I put a hand on her shoulder.

"You just have to stand up for yourself Sammy, just don't sink to her level." She perked up significantly after that.

"You called me Sammy." she said surprised.

"Well that's your name so of course I used it."

"No one ever calls me that, thanks Scarlett, so are we, like, friends?" I sort of just stood there for a second awkwardly. No one had ever really wanted to be my friend, I never really cared since I preferred books and knowledge. But since I didn't have any books or technology I figured that a friend was probably a good idea. "Well I've never actually had any friends before so I think we are."

"Really! I've never really had many friends either. So should we go inside." It was getting kind of dark, but then I remembered something. "Actually I have to do something really quick but you go a head."

Before the season I watched every episode of the past five seasons to see what I had in store for me. And in every episode the contestants had made a confessional so I figured I should as well. It took me a while to find it since there was a heavy forest on the island. I walked into the outhouse and it reeked. Which is strange considering that it should have been cleaned after the last island flooded. Never the less I sat down and began talking.

"I'm not really good at socializing with people, I don't really need a million dollars for collage since my genius mind could get me anywhere but it would be nice to prove that someone with nothing but a brain can accomplish something. Mostly everyone here is at least a bit strange at least and completely crazy at most. But I think I have a good chance at winning." I didn't have anything else to say so I left.

On my way back I heard something weird in the forest, I decided to investigate a little further. I saw some figure sitting down on a rock talking to the siloette of a rabbit.

"Now how about this one? Mwa ha ha ha ha ha! No, no." All right I had seen enough.

When I got back to the shelter everyone was asleep so I got in the bed under Sammy, took off my glasses and placed them next to me and fell asleep wondering with fear and curiosity about what was next.

Wow, this is the longest fic I've ever written, almost 5,000 words! Do you guys think I did a good job writing in Scarlett's perspective? Want to see anything else? Note that not all the episodes have came out where I am so I haven't seen all the episodes yet. I'll probably do a chapter for On The Run next. Unless you guys want this one, whatever.
