Recap: Welcome to Total Drama: the Movie. Our teens are marooned on an unknown tropical island…

A beautiful white, sandy beach merged into a thick, mountainous jungle of palms trees but the bedraggled teens crawling out of the ocean did not likely notice that.

"Wooo!" LeShawna panted, flopping down just above the tide-line on the beach. "We. Must have. Swam for. Miles."

"I know…" Lindsay collapsed next to her. They lay there for a moment staring at the clear, blue sky. "But at least this is a nice spot for me to work on my tan…"

"Girl, how can you be thinking about tanning at a time like this?" LeShawna looked over at her.

"Hm? Oh, I always have time for tanning," Lindsay said earnestly. "I've made lists of all the great places I've been. Hawaii had, like, tons of great tanning spots!" Then she frowned. "Except when that volcano exploded…"

"For sure." LeShawna looked back up that sky and stretched. "Mmm. The sun does feel kinda nice."

"I know, right?" said Lindsay.

The two girls basked in silence for a while.

"Say, Leesha," the blonde cocked her head, as a something just occurred to her. "Where are we?"

"That's a good question, honey…" LeShawna sighed. "I got no idea!"

"Oh, well," Lindsay dismissed. "I'm sure someone will find us soon."

"That's pretty little head of yours doesn't have a care in the world?" LeShawna gave an aggravated exhale.

"Of course not." Lindsay smiled. "Worrying gives you wrinkles."

"Well, I- no." She cut herself and squeezed her eyes tight shut. "Nevermind. I'm just going to enjoy the warm sun and being alive."

"MMHHHMPH!" A muffled cry followed by a thud echoed close by. LeShawna sat up quickly.

"Did you hear that?"

"Oh, you the 'MHHMPH' that sounded like someone was calling for help?" Lindsay asked. "Yep. I totally heard it."

"Oh, come on!" LeShawna got to her feet. "We need to go check this out."

"All right," Lindsay agreed. "But first could I finish my tan?"

"Now!" LeShawna told her and headed out of sight towards the noise.

"Okay." Lindsay good-naturedly hurried after her.

Rounding a pile of rocks farther down the beach, LeShawna came face to face with an angry purple octopus attached to a scrawny body.

"Harold?" Her eyes widened. "Is that you?"

"Who?" asked Lindsay, peaking over her shoulder.

"MHMPH! HMMMPH!" The skinny boy flayed his arms; tripping over his own feet came crashing down to the ground. Lindsay and LeShawna moved to peered down at the flopping form in the sand.

"Gawh!" Harold pulled the octopus from his head with a squelching pop. "Ow!" He rubbed the round sores the suctions left on his face and neck.

"Oh. Hi, LeShawna." He smiled up dreamily at her. LeShawna just folded her arms and shook her head sadly. Lindsay helped him to his feet.

"Thanks." He told her, brushing himself off.

"Well, I'm glad you're alright." LeShawna touched his shoulder. "We should probably search for the others. Did you see anyone else?"

"Yeah. Did you see Tyler?" Lindsay looked hopeful. He shook his head.

"That's assuming anyone else made it." Harold pointed out. "I didn't see anyone anywhere."

Harold sat awkwardly in the confessional cam, furiously writing in a notepad.

"The odds that anyone could survived are slim at best." He looked up. "But none of that really matters because my sweet, beautiful LeShawna is with me." He sighed dreamily.

"But there has to be someone around here somewhere." Lindsay said.

"True…" Harold agreed and then dropped on all fours, sniffing at the ground.

"You mean I'm right?" Lindsay asked. "Yay!" She bounced excitedly.

"Um… what are you doing?" LeShawna watched him in bafflement.

"Determining which way is most likely will lead us to civilization," explained Harold as he licked his finger and held it up in the air.

"Well, pick a direction and we'll head that way," LeShawna said. "We're bound to bump into someone."

"Ooh! Maybe we'll see Tyler!" Lindsay clapped her hands elatedly.

"Well, I was hoping more for someone with a boat and a trip home…" LeShawna said. Lindsay looked crestfallen. "But Tyler works, too," she added quickly. She turned towards Harold. "So which way? Left or right?"

Harold considered his answer carefully.

"According to studies of wind speed and terrain analysis I can further examine the possibilities of-"

"Right." Le Shawna interrupted him. "We'll go this way then." She started down the beach.

"Okay." Lindsay said cheerfully.

"Wise choice," Harold nodded his approval.

"Well, you coming people?" LeShawna called impatiently over her shoulder.

The other two hurried to catch up with her.
