Episode 3: Kings of Stardust
Author's note: Okay guys, so I've PM'd my OC creators and have decided that I will write one detailed episode per chapter. However, this chapter will be divided into two parts because it is so long, and I don't want to dump that much on you all at once. The second part of this chapter should come out sometime this week, and will contain the actual chapter. Also, please vote on the poll I posted about this story. In order to vote for the poll, just click on my profile and it should be right there on top. As usual, please review! Your reviews are greatly appreciated and can inspire me to write more! Thanks!
Chris: Last time on Total Drama Stardust Island!
(Camera shows campers standing in front of Moonshine Forest)
Chris: Our campers received their first challenge- a trip into the spooky Moonshine Forest to find checkpoints!
(Camera shows the campers scavenging around the forest)
Chris: Unfortunately, er, I mean, fortunately, nobody ran into a savage animal or beast. However, people still got sidetracked!
(Camera shows Danny leaving to go scare the Monster Moons)
Chris: In the end, the two teams that ended up having to vote off players were the Monster Moons and the Gorgeous Galaxy! Incidentally, Kayla and Silas ended up going home!
(Camera shows Kayla and Silas taking the Plane of Shame home)
Chris: Will the Monster Moons and the Gorgeous Galaxy be able to fix their early struggles and move on? Will the Asteroids continue their win streak? And what do I have in store for these campers? Come back after the commercial break to find out on Total, Drama, STARDUST ISLAND!
(Commercial Break)
(Come back)
(Camera flips to the Gorgeous Galaxy, who are all searching their lounge room)
Marko: And I REPEAT! IF YOU SEE SODA, GIVE IT TO ME SO I CAN HIDE IT IN THE LOUNGE ROOM.
Damien: Does anybody see any soda? Danny, do you have any more?
Danny: No! For the last time! I put it in our room!
Sabrina: Guys, do you think Danielle can hear us right now?
Marko: No, I think she fell asleep after drinking that soda.
(Somebody knocks on the door)
Danny: I'll go get it.
(Danny walks over and opens the door, revealing Chris)
Chris: What's all the ruckus about?
Sabrina: Well… it's a long story…
Chris: You know, I can just check the cameras later.
(The Gorgeous Galaxy look at each other)
Damien: Well…
Open Flashback
(The camera shows the Gorgeous Galaxy all in their lounge room sitting down, except for Danny)
Marko: Well… it's kind of sad that Silas got eliminated.
Danielle: Yeah, he was the only member on our team that was experienced.
Damien: But that also made him a threat.
Sabrina: Maybe it was good that we eliminated him while we could.
Marko: But I saw last season… he was a nice guy, never manipulated anyone. (stares pointedly at Damien)
Damien (standing up): What do you mean by that?
(Suddenly, Danny walks downstairs carrying bottles of Coke and Root Beer, and potentially stopping an altercation)
Danny: Hey guys! Look what I found!
Marko: No way! I haven't had soda in such a long time.
(Danny passes out the soda to everybody, and they start drinking it)
Danny (noticing that Danielle hasn't touched her Coke): Danielle, take a sip! It's really good.
Danielle: No, I shouldn't.
Damien: C'mon. It's really good.
Danielle: I don't like soda that much.
Danny: Just try it, trust me, you'll enjoy it.
Danielle: I don't know.
Sabrina: Don't worry, you'll be fine.
Danielle: I was never allowed to drink soda… My… guardians never told me why.
Marko: Then try it! It'll be good.
Danielle: But only one sip.
Danny: There we go!
(Danielle takes a sip of the Coke)
Danielle: Wow this is very good.
(Danielle takes another sip)
Danielle: AMAZING!
(Danielle keeps on drinking from her bottle as the others watch on)
Danny: I remember my first time drink Coke. It was great. (looks away dreamily)
Marko: Isn't she drinking too much?
Damien: I once had waaaaaaay more, and I was fine. She'll be fine too.
Sabrina: She finished her bottle.
Danielle: More.
(Damien tosses her a Coke can)
Damien: Here, take this.
(Danielle takes a sip)
Danielle: Mmmm, it tastes even better in a can!
(Danielle continues drinking)
Sabrina: I'm with Marko, she's drinking too quickly… I think there was a reason why her "guardians" didn't let her drink soda, whoever they were.
Danny: Woah! She finished the can!
Danielle: More.
Marko: Danielle, I don't think you should drink any more soda.
Danielle: Fine, if you're not going to give me more soda I'm going to go get some apple juice.
Marko (sighs in relief): Well, apple juice will be fine.
(Danielle picks up Marko's iphone)
Danielle: Can I use this?
Marko: Sure, not sure how you're going to use it to get apple juice though.
(Danielle walks over to the kitchen)
Damien: She's acting a bit drunk.
Danny: I've never heard of someone getting drunk because of drinking soda before.
Sabrina: Well, if she's drunk, maybe we shouldn't trust her to be in the kitchen alone. You know.. where there's knives…
Damien: Nah, it'll be-
(A blender comes on)
Marko: What is that?
(The Gorgeous Galaxy run over to the kitchen, where Danielle is using the blender)
Marko: Oh, she's just using the blender.
Danny: Uh… I hate to break it to you Marko, but there are two ingredients in her "apple juice". Water… and your iphone.
Marko (suddenly noticing this): Wait, STOP THE BLENDER!
(Marko runs over and stops the blender, and takes out his phone, which is utterly destroyed)
Marko: What were you doing?
Danielle: Making apple juice.
(Damien bursts out laughing, and Danny cracks a grin)
Marko: Guys! Not funny!
(Sabrina elbows Damien)
Damien: Oops, sorry, right.
(Danielle suddenly picks up a pineapple, and begins ripping it apart)
Danny: What is she do-
Danielle: SPONGEBOB! I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE!
Sabrina: Say what now?
Chef (through loudspeaker): Campers report to the cafeteria for your dinner. NOW!
Danielle (dropping to her knees): The Lord has speaken!
Marko: We cannot take her to the cafeteria.
Danny: Yeah! Our entire team will be a laughingstock!
Sabrina (stepping towards Danielle): Danielle, I think you'll need help getting back upstairs so you can sleep.
Danielle: No. I don't need help. Do you know why?
Danny (curiously): Why?
Danielle: Because I'm Batman.
(Everyone starts laughing)
Damien: Did she just say that?
(Danielle begins running outside)
Marko: Danny, get her, and take her to the girls room.
(Danny picks her up and takes her to the girls room)
Marko: Ok, we have a mess to fix.
Close Flashback
Damien: And that's what happened.
(Chris begins laughing)
Chris: Oh, that's great. By the way, you'll have a challenge in about 30 minutes, so get her ready. With her background, she could be useful.
Danny: What's her background?
Chris: That's not for me to tell. That's for you to figure out.
(Chris walks away)
Sabrina: I swear, that guy can be so mysterious sometimes.
Marko: But what is Danielle hiding?
Danny: Besides that fact that she gets drunk from soda?
(Camera flips to the Shooting Stars girls room)
Tessa: Aaliyah… I know we fought a lot recently, but as the only girls on this team, I saw that we should form a truce… in the form of an alliance.
Aaliyah: Really?
Tessa: Yeah.
Aaliyah: Fine, I'm good with that.
Tessa: But on one condition, we keep Ambrose on our team at least until there's only three of us left.
Aaliyah: What… why? That's unreasonable! I hate that guy! And he's a threat…
Tessa: But I want our team to win, so there's no danger of us getting eliminated! We can take him out at the merge.
Aaliyah: I don't know about this.
Tessa: Why do you dislike him so much anyway? I didn't see all of Revenge of Pahkitew Island… I did see some of the shenanigans he pulled, but not all of them.
Aaliyah: It was bad.
Open Flashback
(Campers come out of their cabins, Mistro Maggots looking really tired) Note: The Mistro Maggots were one of the teams last year.
Ambrose: Woah, what happened? You guys look terrible!
Satchel: Don't… talk to me.
Kaelyn: There was a terrible smell in our cabin last night.
Kaarina: I have no idea what it was.
Corwin: Nobody did, but it kept us awake the entire night.
Aaliyah: Too bad, so sad. I hope you guys can keep up for today's challenge.
Corwin: Oh believe me, we can.
Jason: Can't we all just be friends?
Chris (through loudspeaker): I love the drama, but here's today's first challenge.
(Camera flips to the next flashback)
(Aaliyah is walking when suddenly Ambrose strides up to her out of nowhere)
Aaliyah: Woah!
Ambrose: Chill, it's just me.
Aaliyah: What are you doing here?
Ambrose: I know you were the one that did it.
Aaliyah: Did what?
Ambrose: Don't play dumb with me. I'm certain that you were the one that made the smell in the Maggots cabin. Let me guess, you somehow got a schedule of when the challenges were and planned to keep them awake the night before a challenge?
Aaliyah: That would be-
Ambrose: And you probably made the smell by getting some of Chef's old food and keeping it in their lounge room. I saw you go in there two days ago. Is that what you did then?
Aaliyah: (stays silent)
(Flashback: Camera shows Aaliyah opening door and finding schedule outside, then smirking.
Second Flashback: Camera shows Aaliyah laughing and talking with Kaarina, then excusing herself to use the bathroom, and dumping the rotten food in the corner.)
Aaliyah: I only did it because-
Ambrose: I want no explanation. I'm going straight to the Maggots.
Aaliyah: No! Please, I'll do anything…
Ambrose: I'm not going to be bribed…
Aaliyah: I'll form an alliance with you.
Ambrose (hesitating): I don't know… The last time I made an alliance they tried to get rid of me.
Aaliyah: But you have dirt on me.
Ambrose: True, I guess I'll have to accept the alliance. Well, bye!
(Ambrose runs off)
Open Confessional
Aaliyah: My one question is, how did Ambrose find out about all of this?
Ambrose: There is a reason I know about all this...
Close Confessional
(Camera flips to the next flashback)
(Camera shows Ambrose walking towards Wacko Whales cabin)
Ambrose: (sets piece of paper and bag of rotten food in front of door, before knocking on the door and then sprinting away)
Analiyah (opening door): What's this?
(Aaliyah picks up the paper)
(Camera zooms in on the paper, showing the heading, which says: "Challenge Schedule")
Aaliyah: The Challenge Schedule and a bag of rotten food… I know what to do with this… (smirks)
(Camera shows Ambrose washing hands in the lounge)
(Magnolia walks in)
Magnolia: What are you doing?
Ambrose: Oh just washing my hands after a walk.
Magnolia: I didn't know you were all into being sanitary…
Ambrose: I'm not. Well, good night!
(Ambrose goes upstairs towards the boys cabin)
Magnolia: Weird…
Close Flashback
Tessa: He did all that?
Aaliyah: Yeah, basically, he then had blackmail over me… He limited my game.
Tessa: That is bad… but you have to understand that our best chance to stay in the game is keep him in until the merge!
Aaliyah: I'll think about it.
Tessa: But we're in the alliance, right?
Aaliyah: Right.
Open Confessional
Tessa: What she doesn't know is I can bite her back at any second.
Aaliyah: What she doesn't know is I can bite her back at any second.
Close Confessional
(Camera flips to the Amazing Asteroids, who are all sitting in their lounge room, except for Ashton)
(Ashton walks into the lounge room, holding a pile of food)
Josh (seeing this): Oh yeah, bring it home baby!
Aurelia: I haven't seen that much food in forever.
Maxine: Have you guys noticed that while our meals that we have in the cafeteria are terrible, the snacks that Chris has packed in our kitchens in really good?
Josh: I feel as if he wants us to have our energy up for the challenges.
Layne: Actually, food would be good.
(Suddenly, Ashton trips over, sending some of the food flying)
Ashton: No! Awww man… sorry guys. I can be a bit of a klutz sometimes.
Open Confessional
Ashton: Dang it! Me being unlucky better not start again, or I'll be vote off!
Close Confessional
Josh: There goes the food.
Maxine: Well, I was on a bit of a diet…
Josh: Diet? The closest I've been to a diet was erasing food searches from my browser history.
(Josh looks through the fallen food and suddenly picks up a slice of cheese and a cherry cola)
Layne: You're going to eat that?
Josh: Well, there's the 5-minute rule.
Ashton: Isn't it the 5-second rule?
Josh: Never mind that! Cheese is my favorite food and Cherry Cola is my favorite drink.
Maxine: You know, you're not fat right now, but if you continue eating like that, you may be.
Josh: Don't worry about that. (suddenly looks sad) Once I leave this show, I won't be able to eat like this…
Aurelia (curiously): Why not?
Josh: A fire left my little brother Miles and I homeless and orphans… Previous contestants of Total Drama such as Noah, Beardo, Dakota, and Owen have been helping out.
Ashton: Actually, I think I saw you on the news! The Prower family fire… I'm sorry for your loss.
Josh: It's all good.
Maxine: But Joshua-
Josh: Again, it's Josh.
Maxine: Josh, you should try eggplant. It's healthy and tasty!
Josh: If you think eggplant is good, you should try any other food. It's probably much better.
(Everybody laughs)
Open Confessional
Aurelia: I never knew about Josh being homeless and an orphan. There's still so much I need to know about him… For an alliance of course. (blushes)
Close Confessional
(Camera flips to the Monster Moons lounge room)
Satchel: I can't believe we've had to eliminate someone already. My team in Total Drama Revenge of Pahkitew Island was the Mistro Maggots, and we were the best.
Elsa: Didn't the Sick Seagulls become the first team in Total Drama history to win three challenges in a row?
Satchel (pauses): Overall, we were better. Trust me.
Jason: That was last season though. This season, we have to move on to bigger and better things. We may have started off slow, but we can do great! Right Jordan?
Jordan: Yeah, I believe we can Jason.
(Hazel observes all this while staying quiet)
Open Confessional
Hazel: I need to figure out who I can trust in this team. They all seem pretty trustworthy, even Satchel.
Close Confessional
Jason: See, here's the thing. We have everything we need. Jordan is a beast, Elsa is famous and cool, Satchel is athletic, and Hazel has great perception, and I'm the pep talk guy! Our team is built for success! We may have started off extremely slow… but we can do better.
(the Monster Moons applaud- except for Hazel)
Hazel: I don't know…
Elsa: Hazel, we have to be positive! I agree with Jason!
Satchel: Yeah, great pep talk man.
Jordan: That was good. But we need to work together well in the challenges.
Elsa: That's up to the entire team to collaborate. The last challenge, it didn't go too well, but we can do better this time.
Satchel: I sure hope so… cause I really want to beat Ambrose.
Jordan: I didn't see Revenge of Pahkitew Island.
Hazel: Yeah, what did he do to you?
Satchel: He eliminated me unfairly. And he was kind of a jerk!
Open Flashback
(Camera shows Jason and Aaliyah talking)
Aaliyah: We have to vote Ambrose out.
Jason: Though I'm not fully convinced, I'll agree with you. He did overreact today when I won the challenge.
Aaliyah: Yeah, about that… You know what? Never mind. But I convinced Satchel and Kaelyn to vote out Ambrose.
Jason: How'd you do that?
Aaliyah: Bribery. And when it came to Kaelyn, I just convinced her that Ambrose was a threat. And I told her that if she didn't vote him off, I would personally make sure that she would be eliminated.
Jason: Harsh.
(Time skip)
(Camera shows campers and Chris sitting at the campfire)
Chris: When I call your name, you get the unfortunate, I mean, fortunate luck to stay on this show for at least one more episode. Jason, you won today, so you've been granted immunity. The others who are safe are… Kaelyn, Macaria, Silas, Jack, and Aaliyah.
(Chris passes out marshmallows)
Chris: You both are on the hot seat for being severe threats to win the game… Satchel and Ambrose… But, the one who is going out… is Satchel.
Silas: YES! HE'S GONE!
Jack: *cough* Silas, he's still here…
Silas: Oh… Uh… I mean… God bless your soul.
Satchel: Why, you little- (lunges at Silas, and grabs him by the neck)
Ambrose: How quickly you've seen to forgot this morning.
(Jack and Jason, approach Satchel)
Satchel: Fine, you know what? This show stinks. But I'll be back. Chris, Chef, you better make another season. Cause I'm going to come back even stronger.
(Time skip)
(Camera shows girls cabin)
Aaliyah: Who did you guys vote for? Satchel or Ambrose? I voted for Ambrose.
Kaelyn: Satchel… you know because you told me to!
Macaria: I didn't vote off either of those two.
Aaliyah: Then who did you vote for?
Macaria: I'll decline to answer that.
Aaliyah: Okay… So, Kaelyn and I voted for Ambrose. I know that Satchel and Jason did too. That's 4 votes. Macaria didn't vote for either of the two. And Silas, Jack, and Ambrose all voted for Satchel. But that would be 4 votes for Ambrose, 3 votes for Satchel, and 1 vote for another person… Macaria, are you sure that you didn't vote for either of the two?
Macaria: Yes! I am smart enough to know who I voted for!
Kaelyn: But then how was Ambrose not voted off? There's something fishy going on here.
Aaliyah: I'm going to take a night walk.
(Aaliyah leaves the room)
Macaria: I voted for her.
Kaelyn: I'm not surprised. The only reason why I voted Ambrose off was because she blackmailed me to.
(Time skip)
(Camera flips to Aaliyah and Jason, who are walking nearby the woods)
Aaliyah: You did vote for Ambrose, right?
Jason: Yeah! I thought he would be eliminated.
Aaliyah: Something strange is going on here…
Jason: It's fishy, but we'll figure it out later.
Aaliyah: Don't you almost get the feeling that someone is cheating?
Jason: But who?
Aaliyah: Ambrose.
(Camera shows leaves rustling, and a figure emerging)
Jason: Who's there? Step back! I have a… uh… yeah, hopefully that's not a bear, or we're screwed.
(Camera shows Ambrose)
Ambrose: Relax Jason, it's just me.
Jason: Ambrose? How funny, we were just talking about you.
Aaliyah: Jason!
Jason: Talking about how awesome you are!
Ambrose: Really? I heard something else.
Jason: It's true!
Aaliyah: Jason… give it up. Did you cheat?
Ambrose: No… I just slighted the odds in my favor.
Aaliyah: Satchel should have been here…
Jason: So… it's true? I wasn't completely sold yet, but now… I see.
Aaliyah: Who have you eliminated this season so far?
Ambrose: Satchel, Corwin, Magnolia, Bridgette, and Cody.
Jason: We'll… we'll tell everyone! You'll be eliminated next episode, right away! I can't believe I believed in you!
Aaliyah: I didn't expect it at first either. Ambrose… the jig is up. We'll tell everyone.
Ambrose: Who will believe you? Nobody. Aaliyah, you're viewed as the most evil person in the show, and Jason, you're an awesome person, but do you have any proof?
Jason: No…
Aaliyah: We'll find a way.
Ambrose: You'll have two episodes to find proof.
Aaliyah: Only two? There's more episodes than that left!
Ambrose: Not for you guys.
Jason: Are you saying what I think you're saying?
Ambrose: Jason and Aaliyah… next to be eliminated.
(Ambrose walks away, smiling)
Ambrose (as he walks away): You know, you guys were great players. No hard feelings, it's just for the prize.
Close Flashback
Jordan: He did all that?
Satchel: Yeah… As soon as I was eliminated, I watched every episode of Revenge of Pahkitew Island, and when I saw this part, I was furious. Nobody makes a fool of me!
Hazel: He did.
Satchel: It was a one time thing! Don't worry, this season I'm locked and loaded for battle.
Elsa: Ambrose is a threat unfortunately. Hopefully as soon as the Shooting Stars lose, they'll vote him off.
(Camera flips to the Powerful Planets, who are also sitting in their lounge room)
Kaelyn: What do you think the next challenge will be?
Faymen: Well, we just went into the Moonshine Forest and got checkpoints, this one cannot be worse.
Miranda: I don't know. I've seen all of the previous seasons of Total Drama, and Chris almost never goes easy on the campers.
Kaarina: Well, since the last challenge we had was more of a mental challenge, I'm expecting a more physical challenge this time around.
Corwin: Well, our team is pretty good, so I think we'll be fine no matter what type of challenge we get.
Miranda: We shouldn't be overconfident though, that can lead to our downfall.
Faymen: Actually, isn't that what happened to your team last year? The Mistro Maggots? The reason why you let the Sick Seagulls get that three-peat (three challenges won in a row) was because you guys were overconfident.
Corwin: I try not to think of those dark days.
Kaelyn: But Connor, Kaarina, and I have experience working on the same team, so that's good.
Kaarina: Adding on, the fact that our two new team members are siblings should add to our team chemistry!
Faymen: Yeah, I guess this is true. But I really want to start the next challenge. I'm so excited! I love this show! So adventurous!
Chris (through loudspeaker): Campers, report to the cafeteria for your challenge!
Miranda: I guess we'll find out what our challenge is now.
(Time skip)
(Camera shows the campers sitting with their respective teams in the cafeteria)
(Chris and Chef walk in)
Jack: About time you guys showed up.
Jared: Where have you been?
Ambrose (whispers): Probably working on fixing that hair.
(the Shooting Stars laugh)
Chris: I heard that! Well campers… your challenge is simple… and interesting.
Jared: What's our challenge?
Chef: Don't interrupt maggot! Let him speak.
Ambrose: Yeah, Jared, shut up! (snickers)
Chef: You too!
Ambrose (salutes): SIR YES SIR!
Chris: Anyway, your challenge is called… "Kings of Stardust"!
Jack: That doesn't sound good…
(TO BE CONTINUED)
Eliminated: Kayla, Silas
Author's Note: The challenge will be in Episode 3 part 2: Kings of Stardust.
