Disclaimer: ...do people seriously think fanfiction writers own the things they write about? Well just to clear things up I do not, have not and probably will not ever own TDI so yeah that is a fact which upsets me greatly and yadda yadda yadda, I can not come up with anything creative for a disclaimer joke today...sorry.
One rainy day at the infamous Camp Wawanakwa the campers were bored out of their minds.
"Okay this is sooooo boring!" Lindsey whined from her bunk in the girls' side of the Gopher cabin.
Gwen looked up from her diary and rolled her eyes "yes Lindsey we know, we heard you the first thousand times you said that."
"Oh right sorry" Lindsey apologized quickly. That was pretty much what had been happening the entire day, the challenge, Chris wouldn't tell them what this new horror was, had been canceled due to the rain and none of the campers really wanted to fight this decision, so there they were, stuck inside their craptastic cabins with nothing to do.
Lindsey sighed and rolled over so she faced the ceiling. She was about to complain again when a rain drop hit her face, "ah!" she cried.
"What is it?" Beth asked standing up. Lindsey pointed to the ceiling, Beth and the rest of the girls looked up. Gwen groaned "great another leak" she said standing up and putting her diary under her pillow away from prying eyes, she looked around the cabin, there were already five buckets, two old pans, a few old makeup bottles, and what looked suspiciously like a chamber pot spread around the room catching the drips of various leaks in the ceiling. She walked to the doorway and looked outside, she turned back to the others "didn't Noah, Izzy, Owen and Trent go to get more pans from Chef a while ago?" she asked.
Beth nodded "I think so….they should have come back by now…."she trailed off looking out of the window, there was a flash of lightning followed by a large crashing sound and several screams. Heather, who had been painting her nails, jumped up, knocking the polish onto Lindsey's face in the process "what the heck was that?" Heather demanded. Gwen shrugged then there was a fierce knocking at the door.
"Gwen, Leshawna! Let us in!" cried Bridgette's voice from outside. Gwen quickly opened the door allowing a drenched Bridgette, Courtney, Eva, Katie and Sadie into the cabin.
"What happened to you guys?" Beth asked grabbing a few towels from a nearby suitcase and throwing them to the Bass girls.
"The roof of our cabin got hit by lightning or something and collapsed!" Courtney said.
"What about Tyler and the other guys?" Lindsey asked still wiping nail polish from her face.
"I'm not sure" Bridgette replied "I think it was just our side but they haven't been in the cabin all day."
"Where'd they go?" Gwen asked.
"I'm not sure" Courtney answered "Duncan said something about stealing food from Chef and then he and the rest of the guys rushed off."
There was another flash and the sound of thunder. Shapes could be seen out the window rushing towards the cabin, the shapes were talking to each other, yelling over the sound of the storm, their voices carried inside to the girls "Crap, what happed to the cabin?" a voice the sounded like Geoff asked.
"It got hit by an ice cream truck, what do you think?" came the sarcastic retort of Noah's voice.
"Guys this is no time to be arguing" DJ's calming tone "let's just see if the girls are okay."
The shapes had reached the cabin "are you guys okay?" asked the large shape that sounded like DJ.
"Princess, are you in there?" called a slightly smaller shape pushing DJ out of the way.
Inside the cabin Courtney rolled her eyes and opened the door, all of the guys, and Izzy, were standing there soaking wet "yes we're fine now get in here before you get hit by lightning, with all those piercings you're like a walking lightning rod" she addressed Duncan.
Said delinquent smirked "aw you do care."
"No I don't, just get in here" Courtney said holding the door open. The guys strode in, Noah was sitting on Owen's shoulders, apparently walking through a thunder storm wasn't his forte. Beth handed out more towels, there weren't quite enough so Duncan stole one from Harold. Noah hopped off Owen and looked around the cabin taking note of the leaks "I don't think this place will hold up for too much longer, we need to find someplace safer."
"How about the arts and crafts center?" Geoff suggested after shaking his head like a dog.
Heather raised an eyebrow "are you kidding? Me, stay in that old tool shed, never" she said with her nose in the air.
"No one said you had to come Miss Thing, by all means stay here and let this place cave in on you, it'd be doing the world a favor" Leshawna retorted.
"What about the library?" Cody offered.
"This place has a library?" Gwen asked "where?"
"It's just behind the mess hall, fairly sturdy and roomy too" Cody answered hoping that his knowledge would impress the Goth, it didn't.
Trent nodded "sounds good man, let's get over there before this place gives" he said casting a nervous glance at the roof.
"If Trent is going I'll go too" Gwen said shooting a smile at Trent, he returned it.
"That sounds like a good plan, I'll go too" Courtney said interrupting their little moment.
"If Princess goes I go" Duncan said putting an arm around her shoulder. She shrugged it off and glared at him but walked over to the door "we'd better get moving people, that roof doesn't look like it will last much longer."
"Leave it to Chris to find roofs made out of paper" Leshawna said before leaving the cabin. The rest followed her out, Cody led them around behind the mess hall to what looked like a regular log cabin "are you sure this is the place?" Gwen asked eyeing it suspiciously.
Cody nodded "this is it, I think it used to belong to the previous inhabitant of the island" he said pulling the door open. They all quickly rushed into the warmth of the cabin. It was one of those impossible places that are bigger on the inside then the outside with no explanation as to why. There was a small den like area with a roaring fire in the grate, a small, round, coffee table sat in front of the fire surrounded by a few large sitting chairs and a rather long sofa. Beyond the little sitting room were a huge number of bookcases in long rows that seemed to go on forever. Gwen walked forward her mouth hanging open "this place is perfect" she said a grin spreading on her face, she raced over to one of the bookcases and began scanning the shelves.
"Nice going man" Geoff said giving Cody a high five before going and sitting in one of the larger armchairs. The rest of the campers began circling through the room, Eva, Owen, Tyler, and Lindsey joined Geoff by the fire while the rest went to look at the books.
"Oh my god! Sadie look at this picture book" Katie said holding up a book, the cover bore the title "Unicorns: Aren't they just the cutest?" The BFFFL squealed at the picture and looked at the book with her friend. Courtney walked by them rolling her eyes, further down the row there was a small table where Bridgette sat with a large pile of books next to her. Courtney walked over "hey Bridgette, what are you reading?"
The blond looked up "oh hey Courtney, I was just looking at some of the fiction books, there are some of my old favorites here, like this one" she said handing Courtney the one she had been reading.
Courtney looked at the title "Alice in wonderland, I remember reading that one, it's kind of weird."
Bridgette nodded "it is a bit" she grabbed another book off the top of the stack "now this is my favorite" she said with a smile.
"Ivanhoe" Courtney read "oh I love that one, well I guess I like most stories about knights and such, they're so romantic" she said with a dreamy look on her face.
Bridgette smirked "I wouldn't have thought you were the romantic type, but I agree completely, I'd love for a guy to sweep me off my feet" she admitted staring off into space.
Courtney sighed "too bad there aren't any guys like that here" she said reaching for the book on the top of the stack and setting it down on the table, she frowned "that's weird…."
Bridgette looked up "what's the matter?"
"This book" Courtney answered.
"Yeah so?"
"Look at the title" Courtney said passing Bridgette the book, Bridgette read the cover and her eyes grew "Total Drama Medieval Story….okay that is just weird…..think we should tell the others?"
Courtney nodded. She and Bridgette quickly rushed back to the fire; everyone was sitting there looking at various books. Izzy sat leaning against Owen skimming through The Psychology of Arson. Noah and Harold were flipping through comic books while Cody was reading a self help book entitled How to Impress That Gloomy Goth Girl in the Corner. Katie and Sadie were still looking at the unicorn book and occasionally glancing at Justin, who was looking at himself in a mirror.
"Guys, we just found this book and well, I think you should see it" Bridgette said once she and Courtney caught their breath. Duncan and Geoff looked up from the books they had been reading, How to Escape from Prison and Pick-up Lines that Actually Work respectively.
"What's the book Bridge?" Geoff asked hoping she hadn't seen the book he was reading.
Bridgette handed the book to Gwen who was nearest "Total Drama Medieval Story" she read the title so everyone could hear "what's that supposed to mean?" she asked.
"I have no idea" Bridgette answered "we were just looking through this stack of books and found it."
"What's it about?" Beth asked from her spot on the floor.
"I don't know" Bridgette replied looking at the book.
"Well why don't we find out" Courtney said taking a seat on the couch next to Duncan, sitting by him was purely accidental as Harold had been sitting there just before but Duncan pushed him out of the seat, "how about you read it Gwen."
"Well I don't know…."
"Come on Gwen, we may as well find out what it's about" Trent said.
"Well okay then" she opened the book "Total Drama Medieval story, by C. Hatchet."
"Who the heck is C. Hatchet?" Heather asked looking up from her beauty tips magazine.
Gwen shrugged "I don't know, hang on here's the dedication maybe it'll say…"
This book is dedicated to Chris Maclean and the campers from Total Drama Island. Those campers were used as inspiration for this story. Some characters may resemble the campers but it is not intended in any way.
"That's it?" Heather asked, now she was paying attention.
"I guess" Gwen answered "so the book is based on us….weird."
"Keep reading" Lindsey said "I wanna see me in a book!"
"Uh technically you won't "see" yourself Lindsey" Gwen said "but I guess this could be cool, okay first the Prologue…."
Long ago Huzzah, in a far away world there was a land surrounded by a great ocean Huzzah; let's call it Muscoda, yes that's a good name Huzzah. In this land there were two kingdoms, Huzzah. The fishing Kingdom of Bass, Huzzah, and the mining Kingdom of Gophers, Huzzah. The two were never in agreement about anything and they were constantly at war, Huzzah.
"Wait stop!"
"What's the matter?" Gwen asked looking up at Noah.
"You keep saying "Huzzah" over and over" Noah complained "it's getting irritating."
Gwen shrugged "don't blame me, that's what the book says, anyway where was I…oh right…"
The two kingdoms were at a constant stale mate, Huzzah, with citizens and soldiers dying left and right. Until, Huzzah, a great and powerful savior, Huzzah, came to stop the fighting, Huzzah….
"Okay that's even annoying me now" Gwen said as she scanned the rest of the page "he says that every other word, okay you know what I'll just cut out the Huzzahs from now on" she cleared her throat "anyway…."
This savior was a true visionary, he came from out of the blue and united the two kingdoms with ease. He was so great and wonderful that he was named king of both kingdoms and a castle was made between the two for him to reside in. His name was Chris Maclean.
"Wow, wow, wow, Chris is the visionary?" Duncan asked incredulously.
Gwen made a face and nodded "that's what the book says, creepy."
"Would y'all quit complaining and just let the girl read?" Leshawna groaned from her armchair.
Clearing her throat Gwen continued reading….
With Chris being king a few problems arose. He had no heirs so who would replace him? Also what was to be done with the members of the already established royal family of the Gopher Kingdom? The Bass did not have a royal family, their form of government was slightly different, I will explain later.
Chris, being the wonderful genius that he was came up with a plan, to have the Gopher royalty come to the new place with him and help him build up a new city their, which was already a very good place to buy land and several families had already bought homes and set up shop. As for representing the Bass kingdom in the central city one of the kingdom's finest knights had set up a training academy there and several young knight wannabes had already signed up and moved to the city to train there…..
A/N:...okay I know this first chapter was really suckish, this is only the prologue so do not worry it will get better! I will try to update this and my other stories on weekends but with school I can not make any promises. Also I may be in the school play which will give me even less time but the play has inspired yet another TDI story, I will post the summary of it on my profile. Anyways sorry again for the suckishness of this chapter, the next one will be better...I hope...Huzzah! Oh another thing I am going to be starting and ending each chapter with the word Huzzah it is my new favorite word so until next time Huzzah!
