A/N: Hey guys! I'm back with another chapter! I had a pretty awesome start with my first chapter, 10 reviews is pretty great! Actually, it's amazing! I don't understand why it doesn't show the guest review count in the review count thingy. I guess Fanfiction decided to change it, if anyone could explain the guest reviewing to me, that'd be awesome. Well, I'm here to bring you the actual first challenge, so I hope you enjoy!

As soon as Chris exited the bus, an abrupt large noise filled the bus. Everyone was joyed to see that the terror of Chris finally left, but were not so happy about the challenge on their first day.

"Hmm…. Tri-armed Triathalon. I can't remember what that challenge was," Gwen started, looking at her friend sitting beside her.

"Total Drama Island episode 21, it was when the final 6 had to be handcuffed to each other in groups of 2, where they competed in 3 different challenges, and the episode where Geoff got eliminated," a high voice from in front of Gwen and Leshawna erupted. They looked at the seat in front of them to see Sierra staring contently at the bus seat beside her, where Cody and Noah resided. She then added, "why won't my husband sit with me! This relationship is never going to work out if he won't even talk to me!" Sierra whined.

Gwen and Leshawna thought it would be best as to just leave her be, and started their own conversation.

"Oh yeah! I remember that challenge! I was with Duncan on that one, and man, was that one heck of a ride or what?" Leshawna asked the goth girl, who just nodded her head in reply. Then, something reminded Leshawna as to why she's sitting with Gwen.

"Speaking of Duncan, what's going on with you 2? As soon as he got here, he already had two fights with 2 different people! And he won't tell any of us if you two are still dating or not," Leshawna stated, and Gwen gave her a surprised look.

"Who'd he fight with?"

"Right off the bat him and Courtney had a quarrel, soon after when Trent arrived, they had one. too," Leshawna answered. Gwen still looked as surprised as ever at the mention of those two names. Leshawna felt as it was time to ask her friend the question everyone has been wondering, "well?"

"Well what?" Gwen replied, a bit with force. Leshawna smiled.

"Well spill the beans girl! Do you and Duncan still have a thing?" Gwen laughed at this question, before clearing her voice.

"You really want to know?" Gwen question mysteriously, and Leshawna nodded her head in anticipation. Gwen's smile grew bigger, "well, the truth is, Duncan and I are…"

Somewhere else in the bus, near the back to be precise, were Bridgette and Courtney were chatting away to each other, despite Courtney not having many friends during her old Total Drama experiences, she always found Bridgette to be a nice person to talk to. They were sitting right beside the confessional room, which was currently closed.

"I KNEW IT!" A booming voice roared from the front of the bus, and the bus quickly silenced. The two girls turned their attention to where the voice was coming from, and to their surprise, they saw Leshawna standing on her seat in triumph. Leshawna turned her direction to Bridgette, and pointed at her.

"YOU OWE BE 10 BUCKS NOW!" the loud girl boomed to Bridgette, before laughing her way back into her seat. Courtney gave Bridgette an alarmed look.

"What was that about?" Courtney asked the blonde. Bridgette smiled to her.

"We made a bet on guessing whether Duncan and Gwen are still dating or not, and apparently, she was right." Courtney scrunched her nose at the mention of those two names, but curiosity abducted her mind.

"What did you guess?" Courtney asked her, turning slightly pink. Bridgette took note of the girls actions.

"Doesn't matter. Why though, you still got a thing for Duncan?" Bridgette inquired with a smirk on her face. Courtney turned even redder from either embarrassment or anger. She couldn't tell.

"I would NEVER in a million years! T-This is just for strategy!" Courtney stumbled at her words, and Bridgette just laughed.

"I'm just teasing you Court, I know you and Duncan are done," Bridgette said sincerely, and Courtney sighed.

CONFESSIONAL-

Courtney- How can anyone even THINK that I still like Duncan? Geez people, that was like a year ago! This is strategy!

*STATIC*

Slowly but surely, noises of voices filled the bus once again. Beth, who happened to be sitting with Lindsay, frowned to her. Lindsay saw that Beth was looking at something, so she turned her attention to where her eyes were.

There sat a slightly bored looking Eva, with her arm up against the window of the bus, and Izzy. The crazy girl seemed to be telling a story of some sort to her, with her arms flailing as she talked.

"Gee, Linds, doesn't Eva look so sad?" Beth asked, looking at the ditzy blonde. Lindsay nodded to her.

"Yeah, I always thought Ava didn't want any friends, but it turns out she really does!" Lindsay exclaimed.

Eva took noticed the two girls looking at her, and she waved to them. The two best friends looked at the tough girl happily, and waved back to her smiling widely. Eva smirked at this.

CONFESSIONAL-

Eva- Well, looks like there are already two weaklings feeling bad for me, I sure as heck hope they're on my team. I just need a few more people, just in case those two idiots though. But, I guess it is time for me to say: Line.

*STATIC*

"And then, Noah was so surprized that I thought he was actually going to faint! He then told me "if you ever sneak into my house again, ESPECIALLY when I'm showering, I'm going to call the police on you!" Ahaha, of course that never stopped me, and happily, he never did," Izzy laughed at her own story, but then saw Eva scoping the room. Izzy poked Eva's forehead.

"Where you even listening?" Izzy asked her. Eva shot her head to Izzy.

"Yeah yeah yeah, you snuck into a house and showered with Noah…" Eva replied, not paying much attention. Izzy's eyes shot wide open.

"I didn't shower with Noah, I snuck up on him while he was you silly goose! Now I must re-tell the story all over again! Okay, so one day I woke up thinking 'hey, I feel like bugging Noah today'…"

Off in some other part of the bus, was Tyler, sitting beside Ezekiel. The prairie boy's eyes seemed to be locked on something at the back of the bus, blushing slightly. Tyler turned his head to the back of the bus, looking for what he was looking at. Ezekiel quickly turned his attention to the ceiling, and Tyler gave him a peculiar look.

CONFESSIONAL-

Tyler- Okay, that was weird.

Ezekiel- Ever since World Tour, I've seemed to develop a uh… crush on one the girls, eh? I don't know what to do about it though…

*STATIC*

After an hour or so, the bus finally came to a halt, and all the teens exited it, relieved. Near where the bus was parked, was a small boat that could hold no more than maybe 14 people. Further in the distance, you could see an island. A very certain island that would bring back many horrible, great, disgusting or exciting memories. Gwen looked horrified at the scene. They were at a dock, there was a boat, and they could see the island where camp Wawanakwa resided. This could only mean one thing.

"Please tell me we're not going back to-"

"Camp Wawanawkwa is where your first challenge will begin!" Chris announced, seeming to be coming out of no where. Many groans were heard scattered across the teens, and Gwen hung her head down low.

CONFESSIONAL-

Gwen- Okay, so I knew that the challenges were going to be based off old challenges, but I didn't think we were actually going BACK to the island! *sigh* Please don't let this be permanent. Too many memories on this island that I don't want to think about.

Harold- Sweet! We're back on the island. Maybe I can find the pair of pjs I left here all those years ago…

Trent- One of the things I prayed that I wanted to not happen, happened. So much for forgetting about the past… crap.

Geoff- YEAH! This is where Bridge and I first met! WOOHOO!

Bridgette- Aw! This is where Geoff and I first met. How reminiscent.

Bridgette and Geoff- *Making out*

END-

All the contestances tried squeezing there way onto the boat, and somehow, in the end, did. Chris hopped onto the boat, and stood on the top of it where everyone could see him.

"So, you guys enjoying everything so far?" There was silence. Chris cleared his voice, before continuing, "any of you find any of these yet?" he pulled out a golden marshmallow, as all the campers shook their heads.

"Hmm, too bad. I'm feeling nice today, so… here," he spoke and threw the golden marshmallow into the crowd.

Alejandro and Heather both jumped up to reach it, before slamming into each other, and fell to the ground in pain. Another hand reached out to grab it, and it did.

"What does this do again?" Lindsay asked as she identified the golden treat. She took a bite of it, before pulling it out, and held her mouth in pain.

"OW! Why is this marshmallow made of plastic?"

Alejandro and Heather sighed, and the Latino lifted himself off the ground, and offered his hand to Heather. The raven haired girl spat at the offer.

"In your dreams," she said as she brought herself back to standing, and whipped her shorts.

"Anyways, as you all know, your first challenge is one from Island, so… we thought since we didn't really have anywhere else to go at the moment, and the island technically still mine… let's do our challenges here for the time being!" Chris announced, grinning at every word he spoke.

"You're really making this up as we go along, aren't you?" Noah hastily asked.

"I thought the island was destroyed though," Harold questioned suddenly. He then continued, "it was turned into a toxic waste land, right?"

"Right you are, Harold my man," Chris replied, and Harold gave him a bizarre look. Chris continued, "as you know, last season, Revenge of the Island, former camper Cameron won the big million, and luckily for him, it didn't get destroyed."

"Lucky duck," Heather whispered under her breath.

"And since he was feeling nice, or something, he decided to share his money with all the other competing campers that season. One of those newbies, Dawn, decided to spend some of her money on fixing the island, so the 'poor animals' would have a better place to live, so voila! A fixed, normal, camp Wawanakwa!" Chris took a big breath after finishing his spiel.

"Where is the new cast though?" Harold countered, and Chris frowned.

"Look at it this way, who here actually watched Total Drama Revenge of the Island?" Chris asked. Sierra's hand shot up, and slowly other hands were brought up too. You could hear muffled voices of "I saw one episode…" and "I'd watch it if there was nothing else on".

"That doesn't change anything, whether we watched it or not though," Harold countered.

"Well, you see, no one really liked them as much as they like you guys, and besides, they're somewhere. I know the world thinks that they are competing this season, but as you guys know, they aren't. You'll find out in due time where they are and what they have to do with this season. Now, back to what I was saying-"

"Wait! I have more questions! What's the prize money this time?" Harold continued, and Chris gave him a death glare.

"I already said what it was, at the beginning!"

"No you didn't," Harold replied to the flaming host. Chris then raised a brow.

"I didn't?"

Many of the campers shook their heads no. Chris waved it off, and continued.

"Whatever, I guess you'll have to wait and see then. No more interruptions now! Your first challenge Tri-armed Triathlon! We're starting this season off with a semi-easy challenge. Once we get on the island, you are all going to need to find Chef and I at the complete other side of the forest. The winners get these:," Chris took 2 more golden marshmallows out of his pocket. He then continued, "this challenge is strictly for making you're teams. You will each be handcuffed to another person, and the first duo to arrive will be on team 1. The second group of two will be on team 2, and then the third back on team 1. All odd numbered groups arriving will be on team 1, and evens on team 2. Simple as that. You and your partner MUST find us as fast as you can, because the last duo to arrive gets a harsh disadvantage for something later on."

Most campers nodded their heads while Chris was explaining, except for Lindsay though. She was as confused as a 4 year old being taught grade 12 math.

"Good, now let me put you guys with your partners." Chris pulled out two bowls from behind him, each containing folded up pieces of paper.

"We're going to do this girl-boy partner thing, so the teams will have an even amount of girls and guys. Now, for the first duo…"

CONFESSIONALS-

Alejandro- This is great! Hopefully I'll stuck with one of the stupid twins, AKA Katie or Sadie, and manipulate them into being in an alliance with me…

Courtney- I swear to all that's good and holy if Chris pairs me with Duncan I will RIP HIS SKULL OUT OF HIS HEAD AND MAKE HIM EAT IT!

Chris- Umm…

Lindsay- I don't really understand what's going on… I hope Taylor is my partner so he can explain it to me!

Gwen- Hopefully I won't be paired up with someone awkward…

*STATIC*

"First up… Sierra…" Chris read the paper, and then reached his hand into the boy's bowl.

"Please don't be me…" Cody quietly prayed, closing his eyes.

"And Geoff!" Chris finished, and threw Geoff a pair handcuffs. Geoff shrugged.

"That's cool," he said, while handcuffing his wrist to Sierra's.

"Next up is Ezekiel and Heather!"

Ezekiel whimpered quietly, as Heather handcuffed her wrist to Ezekiel, complaining to no one.

"Now… Leshawna and Duncan," Chris announced, tossing the cuffs to a wide-eyed Leshawna.

"Partners with him… AGAIN?" Leshawna sighed, and sadly cuffed their wrists together.

"Shush! We need to get going with this! Next three teams are: Cody and Lindsay, Bridgette and Tyler, and Katie and Alejandro," Chris read, tossing each group the cuffs. He carried on, "Gwen and Harold, DJ and Beth, Noah and Izzy, Sadie and Owen, and Eva and Justin."

"I guess that leaves me and…" Trent started, looking around, and his eyes landed on Courtney, who had a not impressed look on her face.

"Courtney!" Chris smiled and threw her the handcuffs. She quietly walked her way to Trent, and put the cuffs on them.

"Good! Now that we have that in order, looks like we're here now!" Chris pointed to the island they were now docking, and a girl in a dirty green jumpsuit and red short hair pulled back into a pony tail was waiting at the dock for them. She hand a hat on covering her eyes, and on that hat was a big flower at the side of it.

Chris hopped off the boat, and smiled widely to the waiting campers.

"My intern here will tell you when you can start looking for Chef and I. But before I go hiding, there will also be many 'destractions' in the forest among you, that you can take along with you. But warning you now, they may be great and all, but they might slow you down. Goodbye now!" Chris started running off into the forest.

Lindsay, who did not listen to anything Chris had to say, thought the challenge has started already.

"Let's go Cadie!" Lindsay said, dragging Cody. She was about to jump off the boat, before Cody somehow caught her.

"Um… not yet, Lindsay," Cody said, before falling backwards from Lindsay's weight.

10 minutes passed, and the duos were either sitting or standing, waiting, or talking strategy. The red haired intern looked at her watch and then at the campers. She cleared her voice.

"You guys ready?" she squeaked to them, almost as if she was excited seeing the cast. They all nodded and cheered, but Sierra gave her a questioning look.

"She looks familiar…" She whispered to herself, and Geoff heard her, being standing beside her. He ignored her out loud thought, though.

"Well… GO!"

Yeah, I'm ending it off here. The challenge will probably be uploaded soon. I just didn't want to keep you guys waiting, and if the challenge WAS in this chapter, the chapter would be WAY too long. Sorry this took a little while, I've been busy at camp. I'm a *tear* counsellor at a summer camp, and on August 4th I'm going to be a CIT at an overnight camp. So After the challenge I might not update for awhile.

BY THE WAY, to the guest reviewer who asked me about this being a GwenxDuncan story, and if there was going to be at least Gwen and Trent friendship… well, I'm not sure if you know this or not… but, I am the BIGGEST GWENT FAN IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! *Ahem* so, yeah. I'm not giving anything away, but this story contains a TxGxDxC love square. I don't want to spoil anything though, so you'll have to read and find out.

Review please! I love hearing what you have to say! And also, if you can, please participate in my poll on my profile. Hehe, byebye for now!
