(A/N: I think this qualifies as Thanksgiving-ish, don't you? No? Well, whatever. It just felt weird not writing anything- I tried to write another story for the Total Drama Series, but I think my mindset was on the CTV trilogy. So, without further ado, I bring you:
BEYOND THE SET!)
All was quiet at the abandoned film lot- until, of course, a beaten down old bus pulled up, and fourteen grumbling teenagers piled out.
"Another season of this," Trent groaned, "I can't believe this!"
"You're telling me," Justin scoffed, "were you the one who was covered in superglue last season? Or how about the time I got beaten up by Bigfoot, huh?"
"There's no bears here, right?" Cody asked meekly, stepping out of the bus.
"None in sight," Gwen shrugged, also exiting the bus.
Bridgette got off the bus, and stood next to her boyfriend.
"Don't look so down Justin," she smiled, "maybe we can make it to the final two together."
"With any luck I'll be out of here first and back at Playa de losers," Justin muttered.
"Wawanakwa and Playa De Losers is all the way on the other side of Canada," Sadie said, getting off the bus, "I don't think we're going there once we're eliminated."
"Ruin everything, why don't you," Justin snapped, "why don't you just throw some salt in my eyes while you're at it?"
The next person to exit the bus was Katie. The other six contestants glared her down, and she sheepishly walked further away from everyone else.
"Ah," Duncan smiled, "you smell that, Zeke? Smells like victory."
"Yeah," Ezekiel agreed, "we like, have it in the bag."
Ezekiel and Duncan were then shoved out of the way by Izzy, who had lunged out of the bus.
"Hey guys!" she greeted, standing on all fours, "Hey, look! I'm like a little doggy! Woof woof!"
Trent and Justin looked at each other.
"Someone's Coo coo for cocoa puffs," Trent muttered.
"WOO!" Tyler exclaimed, getting off the bus with Lindsay, "Hey guys!"
"Hi everyone!" Lindsay greeted.
The next person to step off the bus was Noah. He looked over Tyler and Lindsay, then rolled his eyes.
"Funny," he remarked, "I didn't know the circus would be in town."
"The circus?" Lindsay asked, "EEE! I love the circus!"
"He was making fun of you, Einstein," Gwen sighed.
"Really?" Lindsay asked. Her face suddenly turned indignant, "Well that wasn't very nice!"
Finally, Heather joined the other contestants.
"Hey guys," she smiled, "nice to meet you all. I'm Heather, in case any of you forgot."
"Like any of us care," Duncan scoffed.
"Hey, has anyone seen Chris?" Trent asked.
"No," Justin answered, "which, looking back on it, probably isn't a good sign."
"Wait," Sadie said, "I think I see something over there."
Everyone turned, and saw someone driving a golf cart their way.
"That must be him," Bridgette said.
"Wait," Gwen said, "Chris isn't that short, and he doesn't have blonde hair."
"GAH!" Tweek exclaimed as he pulled up to greet the contestants, "I'm stuck doing another season as an intern because of you guys!"
"Because of us?" Tyler asked.
"Yeah!" Tweek exclaimed, "IT says- GAH!- in my contract, if there's a second season, I'm legally bound to continue my internship!"
"Sucks to be you," Duncan laughed.
"So where's Chris?" Sadie asked.
"I dunno," Tweek shrugged, "But- GAH!- I'm outta here!"
With that, Tweek drove off.
"Damnit," Duncan groaned, "where the hell is he?"
As it turns out, Chris was currently living it up at a nightclub.
"WOOO!" he cheered, "BARTENDER! One more round!"
Back at the camp, the contestants were beginning to get annoyed.
"I say we just go in," Gwen shrugged.
"So Chris can sue us?" Cody asked, "You know he'll find a way."
"Well then, I guess we just have to wait here for however long it takes," Bridgette smiled.
TWELVE HOURS LATER
It was midnight, and all of the contestants were back on the bus, using the chairs as beds. They were just drifting off to sleep when a limousine pulled up, and honked it's horn.
"WOO!" Chris cheered, "Sprig Break Miami!"
"What the hell?" Gwen groaned as she and everyone else got off the bus.
"Guys!" Chris exclaimed, quite drunk, "You know what? You're the best, you really are. I love you guys- BLARGH!"
By this point, Chef has arrived at the scene.
"Oh, damnit Chris," Chef snapped, "sorry children, looks like Chris has been hittin' the bottle again. Come on in, I'll show you around."
Chef led the players to their trailers. A blue one for the girls, a red for the boys.
"You can put your stuff in there, and get a goodnight's rest," Chef said, "Chris has a challenge planned for you tomorrow."
"Already?" Katie groaned.
Everyone glared at Katie, and she fell silent at once.
"Well, I'm heading off to bed," Bridgette yawned, "'night guys."
The next morning, Chef arrived back at the trailers, and showed the contestants to the Crafts and Services tent, where he had breakfast already made for them.
"Okay Zeke," Duncan whispered, "I think we should recruit Katie into our alliance. She needs our help, otherwise she'll be voted out of the game for sure."
"You got it, boss," Ezekiel nodded.
"Maybe Lindsay could be fooled into joining us," Duncan thought.
"what about the newbies?" Ezekiel asked.
"This group is for veterans only," Duncan snapped, "and besides, look at them!"
Duncan gestured to Izzy, who was swinging on a lamp.
"I am Izzy, queen of the jungle!" the red head exclaimed.
After ten or so minutes, chris walked into the mess hall.
"Hey guys," he greeted, "sup?"
"Dude," Duncan said in awe, "don't you have a huge hangover?"
"Nope," Chris said, "can't have a hangover if I was never drunk."
"But-"
"As I was saying, it's time to explain how this season works!" Chris smiled, "Coming in here, you may have noticed the building to the left of the tent. That's the make-up confessional. It serves the same purpose as the old confessional, except it's a bit nicer."
CONFESSIONAL: Lindsay
(looks around)
"I could get used to this!"
(End)
"Now," Chris continued, "here's how each challenge will work. Since we're at a film lot, each challenge will be based off of a movie. Except this time, each challenge will be in two parts. There will be the genre challenge, which is about the type of genre the movie is. If you win the genre challenge, you win an advantage in the immunity challenge. The immunity challenge will be based off of an actual film. The team that wins this challenge wins immunity, and naturally the other team has to send someone home. Eventually, we'll be down to two people, and a final challenge will determine the winner of the season. And one other thing- we'll actually have non-elimination challenges this season, where the winner of the challenge just gets a reward. I can pull up a reward challenge at any time I choose. You'll be pleased to know that today's challenge is a reward."
No one said a word.
"Wow, try to contain your enthusiasm," Chris muttered, "today's challenge will be a free for all- and there will be two winners. These two winners will be the team captains. Questions?"
"Uh, yeah," Justin said, pointing at Izzy, "is she okay?"
"I don't know," Chris smirked, "that's why we picked her as one of the new contestants."
CONFESSIONAL: Heather
"Being one of the new contestants gives me an advantage. I already know about everyone else's strengths and weaknesses- except the other two new players. But I'm not worried about them."
(End)
"Now, everyone follow me, and I'll lead you to the set of the first challenge," Chris smiled.
About half an hour later, the contestants arrived at the set Chris had been talking about- and it was made to look like a warfield.
"So we're doing a war movie?" Duncan asked.
"Nope," Chris smiled, "it's a comedy movie. So, we'll do the genre challenge first. So, for the comedy challenge, your job is simple- make me laugh. The first person to do so wins the advantage for today's challenge."
"Uh, okay," Trent said, "I have a joke. So this guy-"
"Lame," Chris interrupted.
"What are we gonna do?" Ezekiel whispered to Duncan.
"Relax," Duncan smirked, "I know how to make Chris laugh. Hey, CHRIS! Look at this for minute!"
When Chris Turned to look, Duncan kicked Ezkeil straight in the crouch.
"GAHHH-AHHH DAMNIT!" Ezekiel shouted.
Sure enough, Chris began laughing.
"Okay, okay," the host sighed, "Duncan wins the reward for today's movie challenge, which I'll get to in a minute. But first, I'll reveal what movie the challenge is based on. Our very own Chef starred in it, actually. Today's movie challenge is….

"THE SOUTH PARK MOVIE!" Chris exclaimed.
(A/N: For those of you confused by this point, I don't blame you. Just imagine this is a universe where shows like South Park are reality shows. So, like, Tweek would be a real person, who happens to play himself in the South Park show. Make sense? No? Whatever, keep reading.)
"Now," Chris said, "here's how the challenge works. In the South Park movie, America started a war with Canada, and the Americans tried to execute Terrance and Phillip. Your goal is simple- find the two Terrance and Phillip dolls, and bring them back here to me. The first two people to bring me a doll wins the roll of team captain. Duncan, since you won the genre challenge, you get a two minute head start."
"Sweet," Duncan smirked.
"So Duncan, you can start… NOW!" Chris exclaimed.
At that, Duncan took off running, leaving everyone else behind.
"Well folks, looks like Duncan is taking the lead," Chris smiled , "but will he win the challenge? Who will the team captains be?"
"Oh no," Justin said, "no two-parters. Let's just get this over with, okay?"
"Will Justin be automatically disqualified for getting on my nerves?" Chris continued, "Find out next time on:
CAMP TV:
BEYOND THE SET!"
"Damn it Chris," Justin groaned.
(A/N: And there's a cliff hanger for you. I'll probably put the second part of this challenge up late tonight. I would have posted it as one thing, but I don't like to publish four thousand word chapters. I myself don't have the attention span to read that long of a FanFiction, and I know a lot of you don't. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the first episode!)
