"Last season on Total Drama Island…." Chris pauses and reads the teleprompter behind the camera. "Owen and Gwen battled it out for one hundred thousand dollars. In the end, Owen, a super-sized guy won the super-sized check but then gave it up for a guaranteed spot on this season. That we didn't give to him." Chris chuckles. "Bet he didn't see that coming! He'll be working as an intern for now. Now twelve randomly selected campers will be given the chance to battle it out for a million big ones along with twelve new campers! They've all been picked up and will be reporting to this deserted island." He gestures behind him to a large jungle. "Twelve new campers, ten old campers, and a heck of a lotta cash. Welcome to Total Drama Journey!"
The Theme Song
The camera is zooming through a dark jungle. Along the way it sees a number of creepy critters, including Izzy wrestling with a giant beaver."Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine."
"You guys are on my mind." The camera finally arrives at the end of the jungle and you see Duncan, Courtney, and a guy and girl that you don't know. The girl has extremely short curly hair and has her arms around Duncan. Courtney is yelling and Duncan is obviously trying to appease her. The guy has short brown hair, is quite muscled, and is glowering at Duncan.
"They asked me what I wanted to be," You see a girl whose face is blocked by a camera. She's taking a picture of something off-camera. Lindsay is behind her doing something to the girls long brown hair.
"And now I think the answer is plain to see." The camera keeps moving and you see what the girl was taking a picture of. Two guys are posing for the picture, each of them trying to get in front of the other. Both guys have the same haircut, with their hair just above their shoulders, but one has black hair and the other has dirty blonde hair. The one with black hair is wearing t-shirt that says 'Your Mom' on it and the other has a plain white t-shirt. Noah can be seen on the side shaking his head in disgust at the two.
Suddenly you see the top of a mountain. Ezekiel is being strangled by Eva. Heather is standing on the side, looking unsure about what to do."I wanna be famous!"
"I wanna live close to the sun." The camera falls off the edge of the mountain and stops in a valley. DJ, along with a guy with shaggy brown hair and a girl with long brown hair are sitting on the grass. Both DJ and the guy are playing with a fox and the girl is meditating.
"Go pack your bags 'cuz I've already won." The camera moves again, and Beth is seen walking behind two girls and a guy. One girl is gorgeous and exotic looking with long red hair and olive green eyes while the other has very short brown hair in pigtails and muddy brown eyes. The guy is slouching along next to them with his hands in the pockets of his jeans. He takes his hand out of his pocket to brush his hair out of his eyes in an exaggerated motion. The three are chatting.
The guy says something to Beth and she starts to cry. The three start to laugh and walk away. "Everything to prove, nothing in my way."
"I'll get there one day." The picture changes, and you are suddenly looking at a guy wearing a hoodie that covers his face. He's standing in front of a building.
Izzy jumps on his back but somehow the hood stays up."Cuz I wanna be famous!"
Suddenly, Izzy falls off the guys back and holds her ears. The camera moves to the right and you see a Latino girl standing on a porch singing. A window breaks behind her. "Naaa na na na naaaa na na na na na naaa na na na na na naaa!"
Day turns into night, and you see an airplane taking off."I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!"
You get closer and closer to the airplane, until you can see all of the contestant's faces in the windows, staring out at you in fear. The camera moves up to the front of the plane where you see Chef and Chris in the cockpit. The plane takes a sudden dive."I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!" Inside the plane, Chris is standing with a microphone and you see the contestants stick their heads out into the aisles and start whistling.
"Welcome back to Total Drama Journey," Chris announces. He is standing on a dock similar to the Dock of Shame. Behind him, on the actual island, there is a large jungle. "It's time to meet our new campers! The anticipation's killing me!" He smiles for the camera and a small boat pulls up to the dock. A girl gets off and Chris wolf-whistles appreciatively. She flashes him a smile. She has olive green eyes, red hair that goes down to her waist, pale skin, and a DD chest to top it all off. She is wearing a black long sleeved scoop neck shirt, dark wash skinny jeans, and a pair of black pumps.
"Hi, Chris," she says.
"Hey Chelsea," he replies. She walks to the end of the dock and drops her bags. Another boat pulls up and two girls get off. While they are obviously related, they are completely different in appearance. The only feature that they share is brown hair and muddy brown eyes. One has short brown hair in pigtails and is wearing a black miniskirt, thigh high black socks, and a t-shirt that says 'North Shore High School Cheerleading.' The other has long brown hair with bangs. She is wearing a pair of glasses, a blue pleated skirt that goes below her knees, and a black shirt with long sleeves. A camera hangs around her neck by a strap. "Lulu, Ema," Chris said, nodding to the respective sisters.
"Nice ta meetcha Chris!" Lulu says perkily.
"Hi," Ema says quietly. She lifts her camera and takes a picture of the jungle. As the two take their bags to the other end of the dock, another boat stops by the dock. A tan guy with shaggy brown hair and chocolate brown eyes gets off. He's wearing a black t-shirt with a cartoon fox on it and olive green cargo pants. A fox is nestled comfortably in his arms. He makes his way over to Chris.
"Hey, Kit!" Chris says. Kit nods and the fox snaps at Chris. "Whoah! Get that thing away from me!" Kit pets his fox and walks to the end of the dock where the rest of the contestants had gathered. Another boat glides up to the dock and a boy with dirty blonde hair and light blue eyes gets off. He was wearing black pants and a white t-shirt. "Max, my man!" Chris says. He holds up his hand for a high-five. Max goes to high-five him and trips over his own feet. He tumbles into the ocean.
"Is he okay?" Ema asks quietly. Chris looks at the water in a fleeting moment of fake concern and then moves on. A boat pulls up and a girl gets off. She is short with doe-like brown eyes and short, curly, brown hair. She's wearing jean skirt, a pink t-shirt, and some 5 inch wedge heels. She walks confidently towards Chris, not wobbling at all on the crazily high heels.
"Hi Chris!" she chirps.
"Hey, Eliza. How's it going?"
"Pretty good!" She suddenly stops in her tracks as she notices someone. In a blink of an eye she is standing in front of Chelsea. Chelsea is blocking Eliza's punch. Chelsea smiles at Eliza brightly.
"Nice to see you too, Eliza," she says.
"The pleasure is not mine," Eliza replies. She retracts her fist and moves to stand away from Chelsea sullenly.
"Oookay," Chris says unsurely. "I guess they know each other from somewhere?" He shrugs. "Oh well." Another boat stops at the dock and a short guy with short brown hair and brown eyes steps onto the dock. He's wearing ripped jeans and a Dragonforce t-shirt.
"Zander!" Eliza squeals.
She attempts to jump on his back and he pushes her away. "Eliza," he growls warningly.
"Don't be such a stick in the mud," she says, rolling her eyes. "God."
"Good to have you Zander," Chris says. Zander slaps him a high-five and drops his bag at the end of the dock. It clangs as it hits the ground.
"Ooooh, what'd you bring?" Eliza asks. She unzips his bag and pulls out a 50 pound weight. She hefts it. "Zander, you know you can lay off the training for a week or two, right?"
Max finally emerges from the water and sights Eliza holding the weights. "Did I hit my head again? Am I seeing things?" he mutters. "Is that small, cute girl lifting a 50 pound weight?"
Eliza slings the weight at his head. His eyes widen and he ducks. The weight flies by his head, only missing him by a few inches. "Don't you dare call me cute!" she screams.
"Chill out Eliza," Chelsea reprimands her.
"I don't need that from you," Eliza tells her rudely.
"My weight!" Zander yells. He dives into the water and swims after it.
"Oopsies." She giggles. "Sorry Zander!" she calls after him.
"I'm going to kill you!" he screams back at her.
Chris opens his mouth to say something but is interrupted by another boat pulling up and a guy getting off. He has black hair and stormy blue eyes. He's wearing grey shorts, dark blue Converse high-tops, and a dark blue shirt with the words 'Your Mom' printed on it. "Hey Chris," he says, dropping his bag on the dock.
"Nice to see you Rick." The two exchange a fist bump. Chris starts to say something else but is once again interrupted. This time, by a very loud voice singing something badly.
"The hills are alive with the sound of music!" Another boat stops at the dock and a Latino girl jumps onto the deck. Everyone cringes and holds their ears. She adjusts her yellow off-the shoulder top over her skinny jeans. "The song they have suuung-"
"My ears!" Rick moans.
"You did not just diss my singing," the girl says.
"It was bad Maria," Chris says blatantly.
"Ooooohhhh! Buuuuurn!" Rick yells.
"Would you shut your mouth before you say something else stupid?" Maria says.
"It wasn't stupid, it was just true!" Rick says. He and Chris crack up.
Maria rolls her eyes. "Idiots," she mutters. She dumps her bags in the pile as another boat pulls up.
A guy with dark brown hair with bangs and hazel eyes wearing a dark blue and black plaid shirt and dark jeans looks at the contestants on the other end of the dock. "Parker!" Chris says. The two fist-bump.
"Chris, my man!"
"What's up?"
"Nothing much. Came to win a million dollars."
Chris smiles evilly. "We'll see if you do. We'll see if you do."
A boat pulls up and another girl gets off. She has long wavy brown hair and large green eyes. She's wearing bell bottom jeans and a 'Save the Earth' t-shirt. "And our resident hippie, Meena!" Chris announces.
"Chris, I'm not a hippie. Not all environmentalists are hippies," Meena explains impatiently.
"Whatever," Chris says, waving off the explanation. "We only have one more new to arrive!" he says, looking at the camera.
"But Chris, there are already twelve of us here," Chelsea says.
"No, only eleven people have-" he stops suddenly, finally noticing someone. "R- rizo. When did you get here?"
A guy wearing a black hoodie that covered his face was standing at the back of the crowd of contestants. "I've been here all along," his deep voice says.
"O-okay," Chris says, a little creeped out. He turns to look at the camera, darting glances at Rizo out of the scorner of his eye. "We'll be back after this short break." His phone rings and he pulls it out of his pocket to answer it. "Hello?" he says into the phone.
For the second time in ten minutes, Max manages to trip over his own feet. He falls to the ground, narrowly avoiding smashing his head on the dock.
"Are you okay?" Ema asks worriedly.
"It's all good," he says, getting up and brushing himself off.
"I'm Ema," she says shyly.
"Max."
"Um, I know this is kind of weird but….. can I get a picture of you?"
"Sure, sure!" He walks backwards slowly and stands a bit away from her.
"1, 2, 3," Ema counts. On three, Lulu walks right through her picture and blocks the view of Max.
"Oh, I'm sooory," she coos. "I totally didn't see you!"
"Yeah right," Ema mutters, so quietly that only the camera hears it.
"Hi, I'm Lulu!" Lulu sticks her hand out for Max to shake. Max takes it unsurely, and she shakes it briskly. "Nice ta meetcha!"
"Nice to meet you too," Max says.
"How funny is my sister with all the picture taking?" she says playfully. "You'd think she prefers it to actual life!"
Maria and Eliza both watch Lulu as she talks to Max. "I don't like it," the two say in unison.
They look at each other. "It totally looks like she did that deliberately," Maria says.
"Forget looks like. She did do that deliberately," Eliza says scornfully. "I hate attention whores like her!"
"It's okay," Ema tells them quietly. "I'm used to it."
"Girl, you should never have to get used to crap like that," Maria says. Ema shrugs and walks away. "Look at her! She's all beaten down and depressed! She didn't even try to put up a fight!"
"Well, she does have to live with that harpy." Eliza jerks a finger. "That kind of thing wears on you after a while."
"And you would know because?" Maria asked.
"Little sister. The devil incarnate," Eliza explained.
Chelsea waltzes over to Kit. "Hi, I'm Chelsea," she says, smiling brightly.
"Kit."
"Your fox is so cute!" She tries to pet him and Yang goes to bite her. She jerks her hand back quickly. "Just as cute as you!"
He gives her a look that clearly says, "Excuuuuuse me?"
She blinks. "I'll talk to you later." She walks away. "Or not," she mutters under her breath.
Next, Meena walks up to Kit. "Awww, your fox is adorable! What's his name?" She starts petting the fox and the fox actually lets her.
"He's Yang. And you are?"
"I'm Meena."
"Kit." The two pet Yang in silence for a moment. "Well, Yang certainly likes you. And he's normally a good judge of character." He pauses to think. "Well, unless you smell like burgers or chocolate. Then he won't like you no matter what."
Meena giggles. "Well, I'm flattered."
"She's such a dork," Parker says to Rick, poking a finger towards Ema. "Thank god that we have some hot girls here."
Rick gives him a disdainful look. "Dude, don't make fun of girls."
"Chill dude."
"You chill, dude," Rick replies sarcastically. He stomps away from him.
"What's his beef?" Zander asks, pulling himself onto the dock holding the weight.
"I dunno. He suddenly got really mad when I was talking about how hot the girls here are."
"Some of the girls here are pretty hot," Zander said, his gaze moving towards Eliza.
Parker laughed. "Dude, you like her?" he scoffed. "Do you have eyes?"
Zander decked him and Parker fell to the floor holding his eye. "And for the record, I do not like her!"
Rick started to clap.
"My god, why is he clapping?" Eliza says. "That poor guy."
"Poor guy my ass," Zander mutters. He turns to Eliza and she freezes under his glare. Suddenly she bolts off the dock and Zander chases her. She giggles madly as she dashes into the jungle with Zander hot on her heels.
"Such freaks," Parker says.
"Dude, that so called freak just gave you a black eye," Rick says, snickering.
"Shut up!" Parker snarls at him.
"Ah, drama," Chris says happily, flipping his phone closed. "Good thing we never stop filming!" He smiles and you can practically see dollar signs flashing in his eyes. "Good news people! The boat with all of the returning contestants has finally been fixed, so they should be coming any minute now!" He turns and looks at the ocean expectantly, as if that was the cue for it to arrive. "Any minute now…."
Suddenly everyone hears hysterical laughter getting closer and closer. Eliza and Zander burst out of the foliage. "Face…. So…. funny…." Eliza pants out between giggles. She points at Zander whose face is twisted into an angry glare. The two skid onto the dock and Zander grabs Eliza and throws her into the ocean. She surfaces and pushes her hair out of her eyes. "You got my hair all wet!" she whines at Zander.
"You threw my weight into the ocean," Zander counters.
"Touche," Eliza says. "I hear a boat!" she announces. Everyone turns and sees a large broken down cruise ship coming towards them slowly.
Izzy is jumping up and down on the deck waving frantically. Once the boat actually gets to the dock she flips over the railing and lands on the dock. "Hey everyone, how's it going, what's up with you guys, how've you been?" she asks, not stopping for air. "I'm super excited to be here and the ride here was awesome, I got to talk to Zeke for the first time when Eva tried to strangle him and I had to stop her when he started to turn blue!"
"So prairie boy's making some friends," Chris comments. The aforementioned prairie boy stepped off the boat and onto the dock.
"Well, we're not really friends, we're more like acquaintances or people who talk or people that know each other," Izzy explains. "And then I stole Chef's coffee and chugged it because I've never tasted coffee before and you know, it's really good!"
"Hi, Izzy!" Eliza says as she clambers onto the dock.
"Hi, Eliza! I was totally psyched to see you and talk to you and stuff!"
"Izzy. Take a chill pill and go stand on the end of the dock," Chris instructs her.
"Hahahaha, take a chill pill! You know, my mom says that to me all the time and I always tell her that I only have two speeds: off and full speed ahead!" She charges to the end of the dock.
Chris turns to Ezekiel. "So, Ezekiel. What's up?"
Ezekiel glances upward and comprehension dawns on his face. "Noo'thing much," he says.
"Dang!" Chris curses. "Was hoping to get you with that again. But anyway, good luck. Maybe you can even aim for the second episode this time!" he says sarcastically.
"Thanks, eh!" Ezekiel says, totally missing the sarcasm.
Eva gets off the boat and stalks straight past Chris. "Eva!" he says while she's passing him. "How's anger management treating you?" She ignores him and drops the bag of weights she was carrying on the end of the dock, narrowly missing Max's foot.
Noah's voice floats from the inside of the ship. "For the last time Lindsay, Tyler is not here!" He stomps onto the deck, rolling his eyes. Lindsay follows.
"Are you Tyler?" Lindsay asks Chris.
"Yeah," Chris says, waggling his eyebrows suggestively. Several gasps of disgust are heard at the thought of Chris' pedophilia. "What? I was joking!" he tells the camera.
Lindsay doesn't seem to understand what he's talking about. "Are you sure that you're Tyler? I remember he wore red, and no offense, but red is soooo not your color!" She blinks her baby blue eyes several times in confusion.
"Lindsay, just go to the end of the dock," Chris says in annoyance.
"Okay!" she says happily.
Beth jumps off the boat next. "Hi guys!" she says, with no lisp. "Guess what? I got my braces off!" She flashes everyone a bright smile.
"That's nice Beth," Chris says with an utter lack of interest.
"Woohoo," Noah says sarcastically, shaking his hands in the air.
"Congrats Bella!" Lindsay says.
Duncan and Courtney get off the boat together. "So you two are together now!" Chris says excitedly.
"My lawyer said not to say anything that be used against me," Courtney says primly.
"How can that be used against you Princess?" Duncan says, snickering.
"You wouldn't understand Neanderthal!" Courtney raised her nose in the air, an act that was utterly defeated by the fact that Duncan was taller than her.
"Wait, are they together?" Chris asks. "I can't tell!"
"Trust me, nobody will ever figure them out," Heather says, setting her bags down. "It's 'cuz they're not normal."
"Shut it, Heather," Duncan says. Courtney shifts her glare from Duncan to Heather.
"C'mon, can't we all just get along?" DJ asks as he emerges from the boat.
"With them/her?" Duncan, Courtney, and Heather all say in unison. "Not a chance." DJ sighs.
"Now that that little love-fest is finish, we can get started!" Chris announces in glee. An intern drives onto the dock with a golf cart. "Everyone load your bags onto the cart!" Everyone complies and the intern drives away slowly. "Now, we could have given you all a chance to get your bearings and meet some of the other campers. But we thought it would be more fun to just get you started on the first challenge now!" Several jaws drop in shock.
"While the last season was sadistic, I get the feeling that this one is going to be worse," Noah mutters. Ema and DJ whimper.
"Now, the format for this season is going to be a little different," Chris explains. "Every challenge will be held on a different deserted island. We got the big bucks from selling Camp Wawanakwa as a tourist destination."
"Who the hell would ever want to go there?" Heather said.
"Don't interrupt," Chris says, glaring at her. "The challenges are that you have to get from one end of the island to the other. This challenge, it's everyone for themselves. The last two people to arrive at the other side of the island will be up for elimination. If you lose you will not get to the next island, you will take the Drop of Shame, and enter the Dormitory of Losers."
"Sounds…. depressing," Maria says.
"Oh it is. It is," Chris says, smirking. "Well," he claps his hands twice. "Chop, chop! Get started!"
Most of the contestants sprint into the woods while Ema and Noah hang back.
"Aren't you going to go run with the rest of them?" Ema asks Noah.
"And look like an imbecile? No thank you," Noah replies. He starts to pick his way slowly around the edge of the jungle. Ema follows him. "Why are you following me?" he asks rudely.
"You probably have a plan," she explains quietly. "You don't seem like the kind of person to just be lazy, so you probably have a plan."
"You didn't watch the first season then," Noah mutters bitterly.
"Oh I did," Ema explains. "You wouldn't have been useful even if you did play dodgeball. If you say you're not athletic, they shouldn't make you play. S'not your fault that you're not one for cheering." She looks down at the ground, embarrassed after talking so much. Noah glances at her in surprise.
"Perceptive," he says quietly. The two walk along the edge of the jungle in silence, unaware of the person following them.
In the jungle, Ezekiel was running for his life. Literally.
"I'm going to pulverize you, Homeschool!" Eva screams.
"All I said was hi, eh!" he thinks desperately. "How is that insulting?"
"You know, you should really stop bothering Zekey," Izzy tells Eva, running next to her easily. "I know you don't really hate him even though you chase him all the time and try to strangle him and stuff."
Eva stops short. "What do you mean by that?" she asks, her voice quiet and dangerous.
Izzy skids to a stop and chuckles. "Seriously, when was the last time he said anything sexist? You're carrying a real big grudge."
"I don't know what you're talking about," Eva says. She turns to peer through the thick foliage in front of her. "Damn. Lost him."
Izzy rolls her eyes. "You ought to be nicer to Zeke!"
Eva laughs and starts off in the direction that Ezekiel went.
"What was the point of running again?" Meena asks, breathing hard.
Kit sets Yang on the ground. "To separate from the pack. None of them have a good enough sense of direction to find the other side of the island now." He bends down next to Yang. "Civilization, please," he requests. Yang sniffs the air and sets off. Kit follows behind him. "You coming?" he asks Meena.
"Oh! Yeah," she says, hurrying to catch up.
"Why are you following me?" Parker asks in frustration. Beth smiles unsurely.
"'Cause your hot? 'Cause you seem cool? 'Cause I want to be friends with you?" she thinks.
"Out of all the girls here, the ugly one has to fall for me?" Parker thinks.
"This place is so gross," Heather comments to herself. She stares at the large swamp in front of her in disgust. If she was looking behind her, she wouldn't have leaned so far over the mud. She sees a flash of blonde hair as a small push on the back sends her hurtling into the mud.
"That's for being so mean," Lindsay says, frowning down at Heather. Heather opens her mouth indignantly and gets a mouthful of mud. She starts to struggle as Lindsay walks away and only sinks further into the ground.
"Wait, is this quicksand?" Heather says in horror. "Lindsay!" The blonde doesn't even turn around.
"Where the hell am I?" Rick wonders aloud. He hears rustling in the bushes and decides to move along before whatever it is shows itself.
Ezekiel was once again running for his life. After escaping Eva, he had discovered one of the 'less friendly' inhabitants of the jungle.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screams, as a large, angry panther chases him through the jungle. In his hurry, he manages to trip over almost every tree root or plant in his way. Ezekiel had become quite adept at running away from things that were large and angry. Namely, Eva. He just wasn't good at it in the thick jungle.
In an attempt to shake off the panther, he jumps into a large stream that is running through his path. The panther follows. "Shoot! I thought cats didn't like water!" he thinks. Suddenly, the panther swims to the opposite bank. He looks confused for a moment, until he notices the large roaring coming from behind him. He opens his mouth to scream again just as he starts to go over the waterfall.
His shriek pierces the jungle.
"What was that?" Lindsay wonders. She shrugs, disregarding the scream, and goes back to contemplating how to get across the stream. "I guess I'll swim," she says. She steps into the water.
"Why are you following me, Neanderthal?" Courtney asks scornfully.
Duncan raises his bushy eyebrow. "I don't know what you're talking about, Princess. You're the one following me."
"Why would I be following a criminal like you?" she scoffs.
"'Cuz you like me," Duncan explains to her, stating the obvious. "Duh."
"Do not!" Courtney claims vehemently.
"Do too," Duncan argues obnoxiously.
"Do not!" Courtney glares at him. He looks back coolly.
"Do not."
"Do too!" Her face screws up in confusion and he laughs.
"I knew it, Princess," he says, much to Courtney's annoyance.
"Are they together or not?" Maria whispers to Max, looking away from the two arguing in front of them.
"I'm sure they are."
"How do you kno-. Oh." Maria notices what Max was looking at. Duncan and Courtney are standing in the clearing, making out.
Lindsay is running around, shrieking. Several piranhas cling to her clothes persistently.
"DJ! DJ! Help me!" Heather calls after she sees the gentle giant.
"Are you okay, Heather?" he asks, pausing.
"Do I look okay?" she says incredulously, gesturing at the quicksand around her waist. "Help me!" He grabs her arms and starts to pull her out of the quicksand with some difficulty. Heather is almost completely out of the quicksand when he slips and falls in himself. Heather pulls the rest of her foot out of the quicksand and stands up.
"Could you help me?" DJ asks.
"Are you kidding? No way! That would hurt my chances," Heather says, walking away. "I wonder if there's a stream I could wash off in," she muses.
"Parker?" Beth calls. "Parker, where are you?"
Parker inches around the tree and walks off. "Thank god. Looking at her face was giving me a migraine. And she insisted on talking to me! She's such a dork!" he thinks.
Zander is standing by the edge of the river. "How exactly am I going to get across this?" he thinks. "It has a strong current, there's a waterfall, and it's too wide for me to swim." He hears giggling from behind him and is suddenly pushed headfirst into the river. He surfaces, sputtering, and sees Eliza standing on the shore, gloating.
"That's for earlier!" she says. He starts to swim desperately but is beaten by the current. He screams as he plummets over the waterfall. "Oops," she says, slightly bothered. She shrugs and her worry disappears. "Oh well, he'll be fine."
Zander splashes into the pool at the bottom of the waterfall, narrowly missing a large rock. He swims to shore quickly, hoping to avoid anything that might be living in the pool. Onshore he sees Ezekiel unconscious on the ground, bleeding from a large wound on his head. "Ouch," he says, studying the wound.
Ema took a deep breath, finally mustering her courage to say something again. "So, your name is Noah right?"
"Yeah. And you are?" Noah asks. He got no answer. "Does she have to think about what her name is?" he thinks. Finally, after waiting for an answer that didn't come, he turned around. Ema was no longer behind him. "Huh. That's weird."
Ema struggles as Lulu ties her up. "I hate you!" Ema yells at her.
"Thank you!" Lulu says, smiling at her sister.
"Why are you doing this?"
"We can't have you making friends now, can we?" Lulu says, still smiling sweetly.
"At least everyone will know what a terrible person you are now," Ema mutters.
Lulu laughs. "No they won't. I disabled the cameras around here."
Ema glares at her, conveying exactly how much she wanted to get back at her sister. Lulu pats her on the head. "Don't look at me like that. I just don't want you to stand out more than me."
"Attention whore," Ema says. She bites Lulu as soon as Lulu's hand gets close enough to her face.
"Ugh. Animal," Lulu says, nursing her hand. She gets up and walks away, leaving Ema tied up.
Ema rolls her eyes. She manages to pull her the long sleeves on her thick shirt up and pulls her wrist together. This makes the rope loose enough that she can push it up her arm, bend her wrists around, and untie it.
"You'd think that she would check that I'm not using any tricks. It's not like this is the first time she's tried this," she thinks as she starts to untie her ankles.
"Where did she go?" Noah wonders.
"Hey!" Lulu waves at Noah as she jogs toward him. "Your name is Noah right?"
Noah nods apprehensively. "Do you know where my sister, Ema, is?" she asks. "I saw her running off somewhere in a hurry. She looked really annoyed about something."
Noah shrugged. "I was walking with her a second ago, but I don't know about after that," he says.
"Oh, I wasn't implying that she was annoyed at you or anything!" Lulu assures him.
He narrows his eyes. "Something's fishy about this whole conversation," he thinks. "I'm sure you weren't," he replies dryly. He continues walking.
"You seem really nice, Noah!" she announces, following him. "I think we'll be good friends!"
"I think not," he thinks. "I have met very few people that are as fake as you. You know, having sisters really prepares you for stuff like this."
"I so don't-"Courtney starts to say.
"Courtney!" Duncan interrupts her. He tackles her and the two fall the ground a few feet from their original position.
"What are you doing?" she asks indignantly. He points at the large snake that she was about to step on.
"Anaconda," he says.
"Oh. Thank you," she says grudgingly.
Chelsea finally steps outside the jungle. "You know, traveling on your own is really much more efficient," she says to herself. She sees Rizo standing in the distance. "Really works for him," she mutters, walking towards him. She looks around and notices the long strip of road randomly running through the beach.
Eliza suddenly bursts out of the jungle. "I've finally caught up to you Chelsea!" she yells. She throws shuriken at Chelsea. Chelsea ducks, avoiding the projectile weapons. Chelsea grabs Eliza by the wrist and stares at the threatening spikes attached to her knuckles.
"What are those?" Chelsea asks incredulously.
Eliza grins. "Shuko. You like?" She knocks Chelsea's feet out from under her. Chelsea hits the ground and immediately rolls to the side, avoiding Eliza's follow-up punch. She quickly gets to her feet. Eliza sighs. "I totally didn't want to resort to this…. But I guess I'll just pull out all the stops!" She throws a small pellet to the ground and the air fills with smoke.
Chelsea coughs. She looks around nervously, trying to see Eliza through the smokescreen. A shadow flickers in front of her and she lashes out at it. Her fist connects with hard wood and a large log crashes to the ground.
"Damn!" she curses. The smoke starts to clear and there is no sign of Eliza. Suddenly, Chelsea gasps and you see Eliza standing behind her. Eliza pulls her fist out of Chelsea's shoulder and blood leaks down Chelsea's back. Chelsea turns to face her and assumes a fighting stance. "Then I'll get serious too," she says, her eyes narrowing. Both girls watch each other warily.
"Stop it, you two!" Zander calls. He emerges from the jungle, carrying an unconscious Ezekiel over his shoulder. "Save it for later." The two girls relax slightly. "Did you take care of the cameras?"
Eliza nods at a camera that's attached to a tree. It is smoking and has a shuriken sticking out of it.
A fox sticks its nose out of the foliage and lets out a bark. Kit and Meena emerge from the forest. "Thanks, Yang," Kit says, picking him up.
Meena starts to pull twigs and leaves out of her hair. "That fox just went straight through everything! And it didn't slow down!" she thinks.
Izzy's voice was heard. "And then I went with the giant anteater and decided to-"
"SHUT UP!" Eva roars. "Do you ever stop talking?"
Izzy and Eva stepped out of the forest and headed towards the group of contestants. "No. Not really," Izzy replies.
DJ turned his head towards the sky as he sunk farther into the quicksand. He was up to his neck and after a few more minutes, he would be no more. He heard footsteps coming towards him. "-Elp!" he croaked. "Help!"
Chris Maclean's face appeared above his. "Dude, you are so out of this challenge. Why the hell did you help Heather?"
Noah mimes strangling himself for the cameras while Lulu chatters on about cheerleading. He notices the crowd of contestants on the road in front of him. "Thank God!" he says, clasping his hands and looking up at the sky.
"Yes! We're here!" Lulu says, completely oblivious to the fact that Noah was making fun of her.
Ema, who was following them from just inside the jungle, rushes to get to the crowd of contestants.
"I told you we shouldn't have taken a left there!" Courtney says angrily. Duncan rolls his eyes.
"I doubt we would have gotten there any faster if we took a right," he says.
"Do they ever stop arguing?" Max asks.
"Only when they kiss," Maria says sarcastically. Max trips over a tree root and Maria stops him from falling on his face.
"Oh look, the other side of the island," Duncan says smugly, smirking at her.
"Whatever," Courtney mutters as they step into the sunlight.
Chris pulls up to the group of contestants on a golf cart. He hops off and surveys the group. "So Parker, Rick, DJ, Heather, and Lindsay are still missing," he says.
"And Beth," Courtney reminds him.
"Whatever," he says.
"Hey, can we get some medical assistance?" Zander asks. He points to Ezekiel, who has a bandage wrapped around his head and is still unconscious.
Chris tries not to laugh and fails miserably. "We don't have any out here," he says, wiping his eyes in mirth. Many jaws drop.
"What happens if we get injured? For example, if one of us was mauled by a bear!" Courtney says.
"Oh, there are no bears on this island. Only some panthers, wild boars, piranhas, and some other dangerous animals," Chris says cheerfully.
A scream is heard and Rick charges out of the jungle with a wild boar on his tail. He runs in circles for a minute and everyone watches in shock.
"Do something!" Courtney yells at Chris.
Chris shrugs. "Nuthin' I can do."
Eliza sighs and pulls out a blow dart. Rick runs past them and she shoots the boar with the dart. It sinks to the ground, unconscious. She quickly hides the blow dart.
"Awww, who did that?" Chris asks, disappointed.
Parker saunters out of the jungle and sees the unconscious boar. "Dude, what happened?" he asks. Nobody answers him.
After another minute or two, Heather wanders out of the jungle. "Damn, I was hoping she'd get eliminated," Courtney says under her breath. Several others murmur their agreement.
"Where am I supposed to go again?" Lindsay says. The only sound that answers her is the rustling of the trees.
"Where the hell are they?" Duncan asks. "We've been waiting for like, an hour!"
"Actually, it's only been 52 minutes," Chris says obnoxiously. "And we're only waiting for two more people. DJ's already been eliminated." He hears rustling from the jungle. "Speak of the devil."
Beth steps out of the jungle, her face scratched up and her hair full of twigs. She walks slowly to the group. "Am I last?" she asks.
Chris nods. "Yep." Her face falls. "You're last to be safe!" he says finally. She smiles in relief.
More rustling from the jungle brings everyone's attention back there. Lindsay emerges, quite a sight to see. Her clothes were in tatters. All the guys' jaws dropped, and several of them started to drool. Her shirt was shredded so much that you could see her neon pink bra through it and her skirt wasn't covering much at all. Her prized cowboy boots were full of bite marks. "The fish here are mean," she announces, frowning. Chelsea, Lulu, Courtney, and Eliza started to scowl at her.
"Wow…. Lindsay," Chris says, ogling her. "Sadly, you're still up for elimination."
"Really?" she says. "Darn."
Suddenly, a loud roaring was heard from above them and Chris hopped back onto his golf cart. He drove away quickly while the contestants watched him in confusion. "Oh my god!" Beth yells, pointing at the sky. She started to run after the golf cart as everyone looked at where she had pointed. A large plane was coming straight for them, landing gear ready. The contestants scattered, running for their lives.
Thankfully, when the plane landed, nobody died. "Are you insane?" Courtney yells at Chris.
He gets out of his golf cart and laughs. "Just get on the plane," he says. The contestants follow his instructions and troop onto the plane. They sink into seats, tired after their day of trekking through the jungle. A voice comes on the loudspeaker, and all the old campers groan.
"Welcome to Chris Airlines," Chef says. "We're leaving now, so buckle up."
"There aren't any seat belts!" Parker complained.
Chef stuck his head out of the front cockpit with an annoyed expression on his face. "You think I care? I'm not paid enough to," he yells at them.
"Cool! No seatbelts!" Izzy yells.
"Now now Chef," Chris says. "Everyone ready for departure?"
"DJ's not here," Beth says.
"We're leaving him behind for now," Chris explains. "That quicksand worked way to well," he mutters.
"Quicksand?" Maria said incredulously.
"So guys, on this plane we've got our very own… Turbulent Confessional!" Chris announces.
"Who came up with that name?" Izzy asks, cocking an eyebrow at him.
He crosses his arms and glares at her. "I did, for that matter. Got a problem with it?"
"Yeah, it's stupid," Izzy says.
"Whatever. It's at the end of the plane. Mention who you want to vote off, okay?"
"Dude, how is Ezekiel going to vote?" Zander asks.
Chris shrugs. "Not my problem. He steps into the cockpit, closing the door behind him.
The Turbulent Confessional
Zander: I'm kind of worried for Ezekiel. The dude is totally dead to the world. I never would have found him if Eliza hadn't pushed me into the river. (He frowns.) That totally wasn't cool. I have to get her back for that. So, I guess I have to choose between DJ and Lindsay? I definitely have to choose DJ. I watched the last season, and he is such a wimp! Half the time, he freaks out at a crucial moment and ruins the challenge for the team. Lindsay is a liability too, but at least you can control what she does most of the time. DJ will just randomly freak out. If he gets voted off, then I have no chance of being on a team with him. (He chuckles.) And Lindsay is hot.
_
Chelsea: I totally wish I could vote off Kit. Or Eliza. God, she is so annoying! She just won't stop attacking me. I'm going to get a scar from where she stabbed me. (She rubs her shoulder.) And Kit….. He totally blew me off! Something must be wrong with him. He was cute but he seems totally antisocial. I guess I have to choose between Lindsay and DJ though. I've got to vote off Lindsay. DJ is pretty hot. Lindsay is too hot. She'll distract the guys from me. (She narrows her eyes.) And I don't like that.
_
Rizo: DJ.
_
Max: DJ.
_
Rick: DJ.
_
Duncan: Man, Lindsay is hot! Especially with those clothes… Princess would look hotter like that though. Oh wait, I hope she isn't listening…. (He pauses and waits nervously for a second.) But I'm going to vote off DJ. Lindsay is too hot to send off now, even though she has the brains of a brick wall.
_
Courtney: I'm voting off Lindsay, that little sl**! If she thinks she can steal all the guys here with that kind of get-up, she has another thing coming!
_
Lindsay: (She tugs on her almost non-existent shirt.) I asked Chris if I could get a change of clothes. I don't think he was listening. He didn't even look at my face. He only looked down…. What do you think he was looking at? (She pauses to contemplate the very obvious answer to the question.) Oh well. I guess we'll never know! But he did say that we had to vote right? I heard that Lisa and DJ are up for the vote. I don't know who Lisa is, but DJ is nice. I guess I'll vote for Lisa then.
_
Chris: Why the hell do the contestants insist on destroying my cameras? I'm sure I missed some great footage…..
Izzy was curled up in her chair, rocking back and forth. "It'll be okay, it'll be okay, it'll be okay," she muttered.
Eva stares at her. "Why did I get stuck sitting next to her," she mutters. She notices Ezekiel slumped in the seat across from her, still unconscious. "Hey, can I switch with Homeschool there?" she asks Zander, who was sitting next to him.
Zander shrugs. "If you move him."
Eva stands up and hoists Ezekiel into the seat next to Izzy. She sits down just as Ezekiel stirs. He sits up slowly. He winces and holds his head. "Ow!"
Izzy, distracted by Ezekiel, turns to him. "Are you okay?" she asks.
"I think so, eh. Where am I?" he asks.
"You missed most of the challenge," Zander explains, leaning towards them. "We have to vote between Lindsay and DJ."
Ezekiel blinks a few times. "Oo'kay," he finally says.
"Hold on to your hats ladies and germs!" Chris yells over the loudspeaker. The plane takes a sudden drop and all the contestants suddenly found their hearts in their mouths. Izzy starts to scream. The drop suddenly stops and the plane starts to ascend again. Izzy doesn't stop screaming. Ezekiel holds his head, getting an even worse headache.
"Izzy! Izzy!" he says in an attempt to get her to stop screaming. He starts to snap his fingers in front of her face. She blinks a few times and stops screaming.
"Oh… Sorry," she says.
"It's oo'kay," he says pleasantly. "You oo'kay?"
She draws her knees to her chest. "Kind of."
The Turbulent Confessional
Izzy: Awww, that was so nice of Zekey! He totally changed after Total Drama Island. He took a Sexists Anonymous class and turned a new leaf! He was trying to apologize to everyone on the boat but he only got to apologize to me and Eva. Eva started to strangle him for some reason. Yeah, it didn't go so well. But it was still a nice thing to do! And then he listened to my story about the alligators in the sewers! And the one about my great-grandma and her pet sweater. And the one about my cousin who had a monkey. (You hear a banging on the door.)
Heather: Hurry up, Izzy! We don't care about your stupid monkey cousin!
Izzy: He's not actually a monkey! He just has unfortunately large ears! Oh…. Sorry, Larry!
Heather: Just vote already!
Izzy: Fine. Whatever, I'll vote for DJ. Happy now?
_
Heather: Finally, she's out of here. Took her long enough. (You hear banging on the door.)
Izzy: Hurry up! (She says it in a snotty voice that is obviously imitating Heather.)
Heather: Shut up! Okay, I'm totally going to vote for Lindsay. She is holding a huge grudge and-
Izzy: We don't care about your stupid grudge!
Heather: Izzy, get a life!
Izzy: Only people without lives themselves say that.
Heather: …. I'm going to kill you.
Izzy: Ooooh, she's going to kill me.
Heather: (She gets up and the camera turns off.)
_
Lulu: (She is smiling a lot and talking a sickly sweet voice.) I thought my plan went well but somehow she escaped. Whatever, it doesn't matter anyway, because she didn't stand out in this episode at all. I'm going to vote for Lindsay because she stands out too much. She takes attention away from everyone else. (She looks down and starts to mutter to herself.) And me.
_
Ema: I guess that my wish to make friends on this show was too good to be true. Like always, Lulu is going to ruin everything. And she'll make sure that nobody knows that she was the bad guy. (She sighs.) I'm going to vote off DJ because he seemed totally useless in the last season. But Lindsay was too… Oops, maybe I should change my vote. Can I do that?
_
Ezekiel: I have a huge headache, eh! I doo'nt even knoo' what happened during the challenge. I fell doo'n the water fall because of the panther. And then I crawled oo'nto the shoor. But then I doo'nt knoo' what happened. (He rubs his head absentmindedly.) I guess I'll vote fur DJ. He's a little bit cowardly, eh.
_
Kit: Meena is nice. (He has a small smile on his face.) I'm voting for Lindsay.
_
Parker: Man, the people here are really weird. Don't get me started on them. I'm going to vote for DJ.
_
Meena: Kit is kind of nice, but he doesn't talk much. I spent most of my time with him trying desperately to keep up with Yang. I wonder if I could get him to loosen up…. Oh, I'm voting for DJ.
_
Eva: I'm voting for Lindsay. She's such an idiot! Just because she's got good looks… (She starts to mutter to herself.)
_
Eliza: I'm voting off Lindsay. I can't believe she showed up like that and she's still wearing it. She's acting like it's some sort of fashion statement. And then all the guys were drooling over her. Even Zander was all ga-ga about her. What's she got that I don't? Zander never looked at me like that. Not that it bothers me that he doesn't.
_
Beth: I'm voting off DJ. My mom said that my world would open up when I got my braces off, so I might have a chance of being friends with people as cool and gorgeous as Parker and Lindsay.
_
Noah: If I could vote off Lulu, I would. I trust her as far as I could throw her. Trust me, I know that kind of stuff. I have sisters. As it is, I'm going to vote off Lindsay. If she was any more idiotic, she wouldn't be able to walk and talk at the same time.
Chris' voice crackles over the loudspeaker. "Attention campers. We have our loser for today! Originally, we had a whole dramatic ceremony-type thing planned but that went down the toilet when DJ got stuck in some quicksand. Lindsay, you're safe."
She squeals and bounces in her seat.
"Despite the fact that you voted for yourself. Seriously, how stupid can you be?"
She blinks a few times and looks confused while everyone else rolls their eyes.
"We'll be landing at our next destination soon. Everyone get ready."
"Get ready for what?" Beth asks.
The plane drops a couple of thousand feet and Izzy starts to scream again.
A/N: Congrats to me! This is the longest chapter I've ever written of anything! It's over 8,000 words!
