Chris Mclean walked through the crowd at the carnival, He's been working there for almost 2 years and he had two jobs, the first job included hosting and performing a magic act and keeping the crowd entertained and his second job at the carnival was to draw people in to play more carnival games and rip people off, making them think that it's easy to win.
Chris was on his way to change into his magician costume as he passed his friend Chef's food stand, Chef wasn't the best cook, but all he ever sold was cheap, deep fried, greasy food that idiots would pay $10 for. Chris and Chef shared a trailer together at night and always traveled together, they would place money bets with other people in the carnival, they cheated a lot and everyone hated them.
"Hey Chefy." Chris walked up to his stand. "Can you make me a caramel apple?"
"I told you I don't sell those." Chef glared at him.
"Yeah, but you totally have the stuff to make one." Chris smiled. "Can't you just heat up some caramel for me and dip an apple in?"
"I have deep fried Twinkies." Chef rolled his eyes and handed it to Chris. "Take it or leave it, man."
"Fine." Chris took the stick and took a bite. "Not bad. Later on tonight I think we should start writing more scripts and challenges. I need a better gig than a carnival magician."
"We'll work on it, do you really think that I want to stay here?" Chef sighed. "Go do your show, I'll see you after. I heard you have a new assistant?"
"Yeah, her name is Blaineley, that's what I've been told." Chris sighed. "I'm supposed to go meet her."
"Don't get romantically involved with her." Chef smirked. "That's why you lose these girls."
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, whatever." Chris rolled his eyes and walked away.
Chris was back stage in the dressing room waiting to meet this Blaineley girl who was supposed to be his new assistant. When she walked in, she had on a red dress and long blonde hair, older than the girls that Chris was used to, nevertheless, Chris was going to charm her just like all the other girls.
"You must be Chris Mclean?" Blaineley asked him.
"Yes, I am." Chris looked her up and down, she wasn't bad looking. "Blaineley, I assume? Are you excited to help me with the show?"
"It's a job I suppose." Blaineley laughed. "It was this or prostitution."
"You have really pretty hair." Chris winked at her. "You and I are going to get along great."
"Let's hope so." Blaineley smiled at him. "So, what exactly am I supposed to do?"
Chris smirked at her and walked up to her, placing his hands around her waist and kissed her. Once he broke away from the kiss, he pulled out a silver ring with a ruby shaped like a heart on it.
"Matches your dress." Chris smiled. "It was my grandmothers but it looks amazing on you."
"Wow, I love it! It's so pretty." Blaineley smiled and looked out the window. "Looks like the carnival is closing."
"Shit! It's raining?" Chris looked out the window, knowing that when it rained the show was cancelled. Chris sighed, knowing that he wouldn't make enough money to pay for his trailer needs, which meant that Chef wouldn't have the money either. "Guess we aren't doing that show. You can stay though, I can think of a few things that we can do together."
"I have a boyfriend." Blaineley told him. "He works here. His name is Josh."
"We don't need to tell him." Chris winked at her. Blaineley smirked and obviously agreed. The two were making out and Chris planned on getting further, he never cared about which girls he slept with because they were usually replaced within a week or two. Unfortunately, Chef opened the door before he could get that far.
"Chef, I was in the middle of something here..." Chris pointed to Blaineley.
"He gave me a ring." Blaineley smirked and Chef shook his head.
"Chris, the place is shutting down and we need to get our stuff from outside that damn trailer that we unfortunately own." Chef groaned. "My house of cards is going to get ruined!"
"I told you not to build that shit outside." Chris smirked and kissed Blaineley's hand. "He's right, I should be leaving before my lawn chair gets soaked..."
Back at the trailer that Chef and Chris shared, everyone nearby was getting their stuff inside. Everything was getting soaked and there was no hope left for Chef's house of cards. Chris grabbed one end of the table and Chef grabbed the other and they made it inside. Chris went to open up a can of beer as Chef sat down and sighed.
"You gave her 'your grandmothers ring'? That's the 6th one this month." Chef rolled his eyes. "Carrying cheap rings around aren't going to work every time."
"It's worked on every girl I tried it on." Chris smirked. "Woulda worked with Blaineley too."
"Damien was pissed at you for putting all that fake blood on the bathroom floor, he had to clean it." Chef changed the subject and rolled his eyes.
"How does he know I did it?" Chris smirked. "I'm not the only asshole around here."
"Because you always do it?" Chef laughed. "You're just the biggest."
"Don't you just want to get out of here?" Chris asked him. "I'm tired of being a carnie, I want to leave here and travel. You should come with me."
"To where?" Chef laughed. "We don't know what we can do! We write scripts that nobody wants, I have ideas for shows and that we can do, but nobody ever wants to listen to the two high school dropouts who work at the carnival."
"I want to find a place where we can be in control." Chris smirked. "I want my name to last forever! I'm destined to do great things! Some men try so hard to be good men, but I don't want to be a good man! I want to be a great man!"
The rain was heavy and the winds were blowing heavily, so when there was a knock on the trailer door, Chef and Chris looked confused. They opened the door to find Josh standing there holding the ring that Chris gave Blaineley in his hand.
"Chris, it's for you." Chef laughed.
"No, I'm here for you too." Josh smirked at Chef. "C'mon outside, I found plenty of people who would love to talk to you."
Chris and Chef exchanged looks of confusion as they stepped outside into the pouring rain. They saw a large group of people who were glaring at them.
"What's this about?" Chef asked.
"We're sick and tired of all the pranks, getting ripped off and scammed by the both of you!" Josh yelled at them. "Blaineley showed me the ring and I don't know how you think you can get away with all of this crap! We decided as a group that both of you are out!"
"Yeah, now you're gonna pay!" Some other guy yelled.
"Trouble makers!"
"Con artists!"
"Let's get em'!"
"Shit!" Chris grabbed Chef "Run!"
"To where?!" Chef ran from the crowd with Chris leading them to a balloon with the carnivals name on it. Chris climbed inside and started to untie the ropes as Chef jumped in. "Are you outta your mind?! We don't know how to fly an air balloon!"
"I guess this would be a good time for you to learn." Chris smirked as the balloon lifted into the air and the angry crowd of Carnies seemed pissed by the getaway. They started to shoot the balloon and managed to miss every time. "Later Assholes!"
Chris and Chef floated away from the carnival and they were in trouble, the winds were getting heavier and they still had no clue how they were going to manage to work that damn balloon. Eventually Chris sat down on the floor of the balloon and left Chef, who thought they were going to die, figure out how to do it. Soon enough pieces of trees started to come flying at them and hitting the balloon, that's when Chef ducked and covered next to Chris.
"Dear god, I have so many things I want to do with my life! Please let me make it to the ground safely!" Chris curled into a ball in the corner of the balloon as Chris looked up, he saw they were getting sucked into a tornado "Oh shit!"
"I want to live!" Chef pleaded with anyone who could hear him, which was only Chris. "This was all Chris's fault and he just dragged me along! Please, take him and spare me!"
"Thanks!" Chris sarcastically yelled at Chef as something else hit their balloon.
"What?! We're going to die anyway!" Chef yelled as he stood up and promptly got his with an object and became unconscious. Chris wanted to end his misery and bashed his head as hard as he could and went unconscious too as they spun round and round.
Chris woke up and he was surprised that happened. He stood up in the basket and found himself barely floating in the water and Chef was nowhere to be found. Chris jumped out of the basket and swam the rest of the way to the shore. He looked around seeing the most beautiful tulips and lilies and roses growing everywhere. This place was amazing, it was almost all woods and forest. Chris smiled and looked at the sky and took a deep breath, the air was so much cleaner here than any of those crappy towns he had been too over the years. Chris loved this place, he sat down and looked around, he could stay there forever.
Chris heard footsteps and rustling in the tall grass and he saw a girl with strange hair, it was a blueish, Greenish and had some black to it. She was a very pale girl and was wearing very skimpy clothes with a short skirt.
"Are you okay?" Gwen kneeled down in front of him. "I saw your balloon crash!"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Chris smiled at her. "I'm Chris...Chris Mclean. Who are you?"
"Oh, sorry!" Gwen blushed. "My name is Gwen. You travel by balloon a lot?"
"Oh yeah, all the time." Chris lied and stood up. "Where am I?"
"You're in Wawanakwa." Gwen smirked. "Tell me something, are you the man that we've been waiting for?"
"What are you talking about?" Chris asked her. "I've been all over and I've never heard of Wawanakwa."
"How have you never heard of this place?" Gwen asked. "We've been waiting for you a long time Mr. Mclean."
"I'm still not following you." Chris told her. "Care to explain? I need to find my friend Chef."
"I'm Gwen and I'm one 3rd of the triangle that is Wawanakwa, We have founded this place when we ended up here 3 years ago." Gwen explained "I know this is going to sound crazy, but it's true. I was on a cruise with my parents 3 years ago and there was a bad storm and I ended up here with two other girls who were also on the cruise. We realized that there was no way to get out of here and we made a home here, Heather thinks this has something to do with the Bermuda triangle and Courtney just wants to leave. I have tried the best to make this my home. One day Courtney found writing in the rocks that tell of a legend of a man that would come by flight in some form, he would be the one to save us all. Heather, Courtney and I all rule part of Wawanakwa, since we can't seem to agree on how this place should be ran. As more and more people started getting stuck here, they had to pick sides and we've become a community of 30 some people. That's not bad for a small place in the world that nobody has been able to figure out why they were dumped here! But, now that you're here with your balloon, Courtney's prophecy must be right, as much as I hate to admit it, and now you're here to save us!"
"Save you?" Chris was confused by all this.
"Yes, tonight you'll stay with me." Gwen took his hand. "I'll arrange for to meet with Heather and Courtney and we can talk about finally uniting again as one whole when you take charge and lead us to a new era!"
"Take charge?" Chris asked her as Gwen was pulling him through the grass.
"Duh!" Gwen laughed. "Now that you're here, you can take over as our ruler, assuming that Courtney's prophecy is right, you'll be the rightful ruler. I'll explain it to you all tomorrow before the meeting."
Chris had no clue where Chef was and no clue what he was supposed to do, but he did like the sound of ruling these 3 idiots and taking over.
There you have it, this is my take on Oz, the great and powerful. I had a semi weird time writing this first part which is why it's rushed, I knew what I wanted him to do when we got to Wawanakwa I just needed to get him there. They should be in character from this point. If you saw this movie, this is similar but not the same, The other contestants will be in this, supporting one of the 3 girls by living in the part that they are ruling. You can throw suggestions in on who should support who, but I have a few characters in mind for certain places already. I was also thinking about possibly Noah not agreeing with any of them so he makes his own land in a small spot in the woods with a few people because they don't support any of the three. So, let me know what you think. I'm trying to make this a story about how Chris lied to make Total Drama happen and all his dreams come true. It also shows why these kids are competing all the time and never going home. So, it's AU and it's not? Yeah...Throw suggestions my way.
