"It's here! It's here!" Amber squealed, opening the large letter. "Yes!" she squealed again and ran into the living room.
"Amber, dearie. Slow down before you get hurt." Trudy looked up from the dining room table. "What's all your excitement about?"
"We got accepted, Trudy!" Amber exclaimed.
"I'm almost afraid to ask what for." Patricia said from the couch that she was sitting on with Eddie. The couple had been watching videos on YouTube with their own commentary while Mara quietly read a book across from them. That is, until Amber busted in the room screaming with delight.
"To Total Drama Remix!" Amber smiled widely. "I entered us weeks ago, but they finally replied!"
"Woah, wait. 'Us' as in the whole house?" Eddie raised an eyebrow.
"Duh!" Amber rolled her eyes. "I had to send in a video of everyone, first, though."
"What videos did you send, Amber?" Mara asked, her interest peeking.
"You reading, Willow dancing and stuff, Alfie and Jerome pranking, Nina and Fabian talking, Patricia and Eddie making out, ect., ect." Amber beamed.
"Amber!" Patricia groaned. "Me and Eddie snogging? You had to send that in?"
"Yeah, Amber. Yacker and my love life is our business. Not some producer's." Eddie added.
"Does it really matter? We're going to be on TV!" Amber screeched.
"Really?" Eddie asked, perking up slightly.
"Yes!" Amber nodded eagerly.
That night at dinner, after Amber had made the big announcement to everyone, Mara produced even more news.
"You know, Amber." She began. "There is a prize involved if you happen to win on this show."
"There is?" Jerome asked, sitting up in his chair, wanting more information.
"Did I not mention that?" Amber asked.
"No, as a matter of fact, you did not!" Jerome said.
"How much money, exactly, Mara?" Eddie asked.
"One million U.S. dollars." Mara smile. "Which is approximately—"
"A lot of money!" Alfie finished.
"Amber, when do we leave?" Nina asked.
"Tomorrow morning." Amber smiled at her returned friend.
Patricia choked on her water. "Thanks for the warning, Amber!"
"Does this involve missing school?" Mara asked. Fabian nodded, thinking the same thing.
"Of course! But don't worry, I already cleared it with Sweetie."
"Gee, thanks Dad for keeping me in the loop." Eddie said. Patricia snorted at her boyfriend's cluelessness.
"I would suggest hurrying up and packing, then, sweeties." Trudy proposed.
"Yes!" Amber agreed. "Go!"
And with that, everyone scattered off to go and pack. Each housemate also thought about the new adventures and drama that could occur on the island. If only they knew how much.
So… Stepping away from my usual angst and drama and going for a bit more humor! Let me know what you think! This is also my first Total Drama fanfic, AND my first crossover, so we'll see how this goes!
