True: Hee-hee... Hiii. :D

I have to warn you guys... some people aren't going to be paired up, I apologize. But if your characters are not paired up, I promise you that they'll be in a sub-plot later throughout the story, although it will not happen right away. There are also some couples that haven't even been introduced in the story yet. Don't be afraid to ask me if your character is going to be paired up. Also, drop me a PM if you want to give some ideas or suggetions for your OC! You never know, I might just use it!

I introduce to you, the first ever chapter of... TOTAL. DRAMA. REDUX!

...Yeah, Chris does it better. Dx


It was a nice day in Muskoka, Ontario. The birds were singing, the sun was shining, and the campers of the newest Total Drama show were getting ready to face their death.

The camera shot around the island, showing shots of landscapes, mountains, and more. Finally, it landed on the docks of the not-so-beautiful lake.

Chris McLain gave a dazzling smile. "Hey, viewing world! I need no introduction," he smirked, "but just in case you've been living under a rock the last two years, I'm Chris McLain, the host of Total Drama!" he threw his hands up dramatically, "But this year we're back at the island... aaand with all new campers!" he winked at the camera, "They bored me, so why not get some new fresh meat, eh?"

"No, it was because that C.I.T chick sued the pants off ya'!"

"Shut up, Chef!" Chris barked. It seemed to take him a few moments to remember that he was still on live TV, because he quickly composed himself and plastered the blinding grin back on his face. "And here's our first competitor, Samantha Anne Krest!"

The first camper stumbled off of the boat, nearly falling on her face. She let out a shriek as she just barely caught herself from face planting into the dock.

Her face turned bright red. "Smooth..." Chris commented.

"S-Sorry..."

Sam was extremely pretty. From her curly blonde hair, that reached her C-sized bust, to her skinny frame and pale skin, she had a natural beauty that couldn't be beat. Although her almond shaped hazel eyes were pretty, they were covered by a pair of rectangular glasses. Her clothes matched her looks, as she wasn't wearing anything outrageously fancy. She had an off-the shoulder yellow top that was tucked into her black skirt. She wore a big black belt and black flats to match. To top off her outfit, Sam wore a cute headband with a bow on it.

She flashed the camera a weak smile, showing her bright teeth.

"So I'm the f-first camper here..." Sam shyly asked, digging the toe of her flats into the dock.

Chris rolled his eyes. "Duh," he stated, making the camper flush in embarrassment, "But not for long! Next is Philamena Scarlet Tuscon!"

With that, a curvy girl covered in pink stepped off of the boat. Meaning that everything she was wearing was pink. Everything. Including her poufy pink hair, that stuck out all around her. She was wearing a pink, spaghetti strap tank top and a –guess what?– pink skirt that flowed down to her knees. Her fur boots and jacket were white though, as was her fairly pale skin. Freckles splashed just above her naturally rosy cheeks. And though her outfit screamed girly, her bright green eyes held a flash of mischievous within them.

"Call me Philly!" She chirped, a bright smile on her face. She skipped to stand beside Sam, who looked slightly afraid of the happy girl beside her.

"Yeeeaah," Chris scowled, "Does anyone here care?"

Philly shot a hand in the air. "Ooh, ooh! I care!"

Chris gave her a bland stare, but she didn't even flinch. She giggled, unaffected by the older man's annoyed gaze.

Philly turned to the shyer girl beside me. "Hi! I'm Philly!" she said, her happy smile never wavering, "What's your name?"

Sam blinked. "O-Oh... I'm S-Samantha, but I guess y-you can call me Sam..." she said, so quiet that Philly had to strain to even hear her.

"And here's our next camper, or shall I say, campers, Dexter Craig Tanner, Daniel Harrison Tanner, and Desiree Victorie Tanner!"

Although Chris interrupted the two girl's conversation, Philly had already decided that this girl was too shy. She vowed to make her more... Philly-like by the end of the summer.

Two boys and one girl were quickly off the boat and standing near Chris. "No," the boy to the far left said, "I'm Dexter, that's Daniel."

"Wait," Chris blinked. "You're Dexter? I thought you were Daniel!"

"No, I'm Daniel."

"You're Daniel?"

"I'm Daniel."

"But I thought you were Desiree!"

The only girl of the three face palmed. "You guys are all idiots. I'm Desiree," she jutted a thumb to the boy on her right. "That's Danny" finally, she messed up the boy to her left's hair even more than it already was, "And this little dork here is Dexter, but we just call him Dex."

Dexter pouted. Both he and his brother had piercing blue, almond shaped eyes. They had dirty blonde hair, although Dexter's was a shaggy mess and Daniel had every strand place. They were of average height and had a light tan.

Even their clothes matched, as they both wore black skinny jeans, and a grey graphic tee. The only difference was that the sweater Daniel wore over his t-shirt was blue and Dexter's was red. Finally, Dexter wore a red and black checkered fedora.

Desiree rolled her violet eyes. She was a female version of her brothers. She had the same wavy, dirty blonde hair, though hers had black and blonde highlights. She wore white, purple, and black short shorts and a lime green tank top, which was covered by her black hoodie. To finish off the outfit she had lime green high tops and grey knee high socks to match her tube top. Not to mention the nose ring that graced her pretty face. It didn't need to be said, but Des was obviously incredibly beautiful.

Chris scowled. "Whatever, nobody really cares. Just go stand by the other campers."

Dexter winked at Sam, making her face turn bright red and breathing quicken. "Why... hello there," he said in a low voice.

Sam opened her mouth, but the only sound the came out was a quiet squeak. Go away, go away, go away... she chanted in her head.

Luckily for the shy girl, another boy stepped off of the boat, eliminating Dexter's chance of any more flirting.

"Hey," he grinned, "I'm Teddy, it's nice to 'cha."

The man that stepped off of the boat looked very... odd, at the least. He was extremely tall, extremely tall, standing over six and a half feet tall. His clothes were average; he wore a simple red t-shirt with a grizzly bear on the front and regular blue jeans with white Reeboks. Finally, he had a red hat that was on backwards, that said Teddy in black letters. His looks were regular enough, and some could even say that he was handsome, what with his black eyes and dark skin. What seperated him from the others was all of his red hair. It covered up a lot of his body and his face, making him look more like a hillbilly than the average teenager.

"Heeey!" Chris pouted, "I'm the host, I introduce everyone!" He motioned to the muscular man. "Everyone, this is Ted Bridge!"

Said guy smiled happily, waving enthusiastically at the camera. "Yeah, it's great to be here! It's so great to meet you guys!" He jogged over to the rest of the campers, as if the heavy luggage he was carrying was nothing.

He stood between Sam and Des, making their eyes widen as they looked up to him. Compared to the giant, they looked silly, with their small frame and his tall stature.

He smiled down at everyone, "Hey!"

The campers looked at each other and shrugged. "Hey," they all said in unison.

Chris scowled. "Now that we've met hillbilly boy, let's introduce Stone Max Smith!"

Stone smirked at Chris. He wasted no time in passing him and walking towards the other campers. He flipped his short black hair out of his icy blue eyes. He flashed a mischievous grin at Des, who flushed lightly in return.

He winked. "Stone."

"Des."

"Yeah, yeah," Dex pushed between the two of them, but not before throwing a quick glare in Stone's direction, "we all know each other."

Stone rolled his eyes. He was incredibly handsome, though that went without saying. From his black and grey hoodie to his baggie jeans and black shoes, he just screamed skater.

"Next, our touch chick for the season, Alexandra Taylor Ramirez!"

Alexandra stepped off of the dock, eyeing her competition distastefully. "It's Alex." she narrowed her eyes at Chris, "only Alex." With that, she strutted over to the other campers, but not before giving them a harsh glare of her own.

Des snorted, "Well, aren't you just a ball of sunshine."

"Aren't I, though?" Alex challenged, "Next thing you know I'll be dying my hair blonde. Do you think that it'd look better with highlights?"

The punk's lips turned up in a smirk, "Snarky, aren't we?"

Alex gave a light chuckle. She was incredibly gorgeous. From her onyx eyes to her dark skin, she could easily be classified as Hispanic. She wore jean short shorts that showed off her long legs and firm, wide hips and black tennis shoes, with hot pink strings and "Alex" in hot pink cursive font on the sides, only made her seem taller. She had on a black tank top with lacy, spaghetti straps that hugged her deep curves. Her black hair reached her waist, and cascaded down her back in waves and loose ringlets. To match her beauty, she had a pretty purple necklace around her neck.

She put her hands on her trim hips, showing off her black nails. "Not at all. I'm a ball of sunshine, remember?" She flipped her long hair over her shoulders, mocking the famous model pose.

The other campers looked at each other with raised eyebrows. Obviously, this girl wasn't here to make friends.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Chris waved to the other campers, "go over there, because our next camper is already arriving! Please give a round of applause for Ava Rose Patterson!"

Ava gave a wave, a small smile on her face, "Hi! I'm Ava."

Chris rolled his eyes, "Well, duh, that's what I just told them."

Her face flushed.

She carried her pink luggage over to the other campers. She gave them a shy smile, "It's nice to meet you. I look forward to competing with you."

The campers grinned back at the pretty girl. Ava was incredibly petite, standing at the short height of 5'4, though she still had small curves. She had chocolate brown curls that reached her shoulder blades and dark brown eyes to match. She had a light tan. Ava wore layered tank tops with regular jean shorts and hiking boots. Overall, she was a cute girl.

Chris scowled. Why are they getting along so well, he thought, they're supposed to hate each other! He looked down at his clipboard and an evil smirk graced his lips. "Finally, someone interesting! Next is Andrew Gerald Brownski!"

Andrew's nose wrinkled in disgust. "Ugh, this is where I'm staying? I did not sign up for this."

"Actually, you did." Chris pulled a pile of papers out of nowhere, and thrust it in Andrew's face, "Here's the contracts, if you want to check."

Andrew grumbled and took the papers in his hands. He dug his nose into the contract, slowly reading each and every line written. He walked over to the other campers, and stuck his nose in the air. "Hello, peasants. I'm Andrew Brownski. You're welcome, by the way, for joining this horrid camp. I'm sure that meeting me is one of the biggest accomplishments in your pathetic little lives."

They scowled.

Andrew snorted, not even giving the campers a second glance. He had perfectly combed blonde hair, with not a strand out of place, and bright blue eyes. For a teenaged boy, he was actually very short, standing at a height of 5'6. He wore a fancy, red bathrobe, oddly enough. Under it he had on a white shirt. Andrew had on designer jeans and expensive dress shoes to match. Because, yes, this is totally something that you would wear to a deserted island.

Chris grinned. "Glad that we've finally got some drama! Sheesh, I was starting to think that this season would be a snooze fest! No matter though, I already see the next boat! Next is-"

"Hi, I'm Bambi!"

His eye twitched. "As I was saying... our next camper is Bambina Marie Logan!"

Bambina giggled, "Christopher! I watch you on TV all the time, it's amazing to meet you!" She twirled off of the boat, nearly falling over with the heavy weight of her luggage.

The newest competitor was incredibly pretty. She had light peach skin and blue eyes that matched the sky above her. Bambina had incredibly curly brown hair that reached her waist. Although she was incredibly short and petite, she had very... womanly curves, to say the least. She had a stylish denim skirt with the occasional hole and hot pink and black checkered leggings. She also wore black high top sneakers and a hot pink headband with a bow. Finally, she had on a cute v-neck t-shirt with a notebook design, having hearts, rainbows, LOL, LOVE, and more written all over the front. Although this didn't need to be said, Bambi was very, very beautiful.

She waved at the campers. "Hi! I'm Bambina, but you can just call me Bambi, because Bambina is, like, super long and is oober hard to remember." she gave a bright smile, "I can't wait to compete with you guys."

Each of the campers (besides Andrew, of course, who was currently grumbling, holding the camper's contract in one hand and his pile of money in the other) cracked a smile at the innocent girl's antics.

"Hi Bambi!" Philly waved wildly, "I'm Philly, it's nice to meet 'cha!"

Bambi smiled happily. "Hi!"

"No time for introductions now," Chris said, "It's already time for the next camper. Put your hands together for Riley Samantha Anderson."

The teen that stepped off of the docks was of average height, had an average skin tone, and average hazel eyes... if you couldn't tell, she looked pretty average. The thing about her though, was her hair was red. Not just your average strawberry hair, but red. It was incredibly short, and was styled in a pixie cut, on top of it was a black beanie. She had a cone shaped body, with small muscles gracing her petite form. She wore baggy jeans and a light blue sweater, though over it was a white t-shirt with "Cosmogramma" on it.

She grinned. "Hey, I'm Riley."

Riley walked past the other campers, not even commenting on any of them, though her nose crinkled in distaste when she passed Chris.

"I can already see the next camper, Paul William Stewart."

Paul could be described as handsome. He had short red hair that was messy and unkept on the top of his head. He was very short and had almond shaped, green eyes and was incredibly pale. To match his simple looks, he had a regular green t-shirt and plain blue jeans. Overall, he looked like the kind of guy that you would see walking down the street.

Paul wasted no time as he walked past the competitors, analyzing them. He eyed them distastefully. They're all the same, he thought, each and every one of them want nothing more than the attention of others.

He ended up at the very end of the dock, away from the other campers. They looked at him quickly, thinking nothing of it, before waiting patiently (and others, not so patiently) for the next boat to arrive.

Bambi looked at Paul and frowned. How come no one else wanted to talk to him? That was so rude! With that thought in mind, she bounced over to the loner.

"Hi!" she giggled. She stuck out a hand for Paul to shake and smiled brightly at him, "I'm Bambina, but that's like, totally hard to remember, so you can call me Bambi!"

Paul grunted. Bambi pouted. Wow, this guy had horrible hearing. But that was okay, she'd just have to talk louder, and that was no problem for the bubbly girl.

"Um, yeah. I'm excited for the first challenge? Aren't you? But I'm scared that it'll be something totally hard like first season. Ooh, maybe we could play tag! Or hide-and-go-seek? Or- Paul? Paul! Paul! Paul? Paul, are you still listening to me? Paul? Hey, why is your face getting all red?"

It was true that Paul's face was now nearly the color of his hair. Unfortunately for Bambi, it wasn't out of embarrassment.

He scowled. "Look, leave me alone, and I'll leave you alone. Got it? I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to win."

Bambi's lip quivered, as if she was going to burst in to tears at any moment. "But... but how will I get to know you better, silly?"

"I'll give you a hint, don't." With that, he stomped off to the campers, who were paying the two no mind. Bambi looked after his back sadly.

Paul scowled. He turned around to look at Chris introduce the next camper. He jumped when he met the eyes of an angry Alex, who was standing a mere few feet away, but he quickly composed himself. He wouldn't give her the satisfaction of scaring him.

She scowled. "She was trying to be nice, you know."

He raised an eyebrow. "And I care... why?"

Alex jutted a hip to the side, putting a hand on it and letting the other fall to her side, and narrowed her eyes. "I can't believe you."

Paul rolled his eyes. "Oh yeah, because you're just Miss Sunshine."

Alex's nose crinkled in distaste. "Whatever." With that, she scowled and stomped off to comfort Bambi.

"Next is Jose Milon Capces!"

Jose was fairly handsome. He was slightly toned, though his small muscles were covered by a black t-shirt that had a green lantern symbol on it. He also wore regular blue jeans and black shoes. His black rimmed glasses covered his brown eyes. He had very short black hair.

He pushed his glasses back. "H-Hi..." he passed Chris without a second glance and stood next to Ava.

Ava gave him a small smile, to which he flushed and grinned back.

"I'm Ava."

"Jose..."

Chris grinned. "Ooh, do I detect a romance?" he said, making the two shy campers blush. "No matter though, I already see the next boat. Let's welcome Sebastian Kane!"

If you looked at Sebastian, the first thing you would notice was that he was pale... extremely pale. His skin was a sickly white color that contrasted with his spiky, dark brown hair. He had bright blue eyes and a very muscular build. Sebastian wore black combat boots that reached his knees and black cargo pants that were tucked into them. He had a simple white t-shirt and two dog tag necklaces. Overall, he looked like an average guy.

"It's Larx."

He walked over to the edge of the dock away from everyone else. The campers looked at each other with raised eyebrows.

"Okay, Sebastian!" Chris grinned happily as Larx's left eye twitched at his full name.

He snorted. "Whatever."

"Well, aren't you a happy camper. Get it? Camper? You know, the saying? Heh, and you're a camper on TDR? Get it? I crack myself up! ...Oh well, not everyone can have the same wonderful humor I do."

The competitors face palmed.

"The next boat is already here. It's Ramona Rebecca Ray! Ooh, try saying that five times fast!"

The girl that stepped off of the boat grinned and gasped. Suddenly, she started to talk incredibly fast, "Ramona Rebecca Ray, Ramona Rebecca Ray, Ramona Rebecca Ray, Ramonda Rebecca Way... Dang it, I messed up!"

Ramona had black and (oddly enough) pink hair that reached her small bust. She had bright blue eyes that were accentuated by eyeliner wings on the side. She was incredibly short, but had enough energy for a crowd of people packed into her 5'3 body. She had a blue miniskirt and a black singlet. Ramona also wore black ankle boots and black and white knee high socks. Finally, she had on brown arm warmers and wore black lipstick.

She waved wildly at the other campers. "Hi, I'm Ramona!"

Philly grinned when she looked at Ramona. She could already tell that the two of them would be good friends.

When the two locked eyes, it was like a cheesy moment from a Twilight film (you know, when Edward and Bella see each other and omg!we're in love. Yeah. It was like that. Scary.).

"I'm Philly."

"Ramona..." (1)

Suddenly, the silence and calm aura around them was broken when they burst into bright smiles, "It's nice to meet 'cha!" they said... in unison.

Chris's eye twitched, "Great, now we have two Izzy's... lovely." he inwardly sighed in relief at the sight of the next boat, "Ooh, good! Another boat.. let's welcome Leigh Marie Ezra!"

She smiled so happily that it was almost scary. "Like, hi! I'm Leigh! I'm just so excited to be able to compete against you and it's just so great to meet you!"

Leigh was incredibly gorgeous. From her peach skin to her wide green eyes, she had a child-like beauty. She had dark blonde hair that fell just past her shoulders in loose ringlets. She had a model-like figure, with wide hips, a small waist, and a fair sized bust. Leigh wore a multi-colored, tie dyed blouse and white capri leggings. She also had on a blue jean jacket and white wedges. She had silver hoop earings and a silver necklace, though the necklace was hidden under her blouse. Overall, she was a very, very beautiful girl.

She giggled and twirled a blonde ringlet as she walked past the campers. She smiled at the girls brightly, making most of them smile back, and winked at the boys, which caused them them to flush and almost drool at her gorgeous features.

Leigh hid a smirk as she took her spot between Ava and Dexter. Wow, this is my competition? she thought, this will be easier than I thought it would be.

Dexter looked her up and down, shamelessly stopping at her chest. It was obvious that he wasn't unlike the other guys, and he too was already addicted by the beautiful girl.

Leigh giggled when Dexter's eyes met her green ones. "Hi..."

Chris snapped out of the trance that Leigh's looks held him in and coughed. She's under eighteen, she's under eighteen... "W-Well... now that we've all met Leigh, let''s introduce Konner Jonathon Grey!"

There was only one word to describe Konner, and that was hot, incredibly so. He had dirty blonde hair that was slightly messy and long, though it wasn't need of a haircut. He had relaxed brown eyes, with flecks of green in them and an even tan. He was incredibly muscular, with a deep six pack that showed through his shirt and strong arms and legs. He wore a purple shirt that had a slight v-neck and had a pocket on the chest. He also had baggy denim jeans that showed a sliver of his blue boxers. Finally, he had black sneakers on his feet.

With Chris's introduction, Konner stepped off of the boat. As he strode across the dock, he winked at the girls he passed, and nearly all of them swooned. He smirked at this.

Finally, he stopped at the end of the dock... right beside Alex. He gave her a dazzling grin, which she returned with a scowl and hmph of aggravation.

Konner blinked. He looked at her again, and sure enough, the girl was posed with her arms crossed, her onyx eyes piercing into his brown ones. Konner scowled. How dare she ignore his super sexy smile of awesomeness! His grin was what made all of the girls go wild.

Ignoring Alex's obvious displeasure, he flipped his hair out of his eyes and turned on the charm.

"Hello there, gorgeous..." he gracefully took her dark hand, never taking his eyes off of her own and a smile gracing his lips, "Do you have a name, beautiful?" he leaned down to slowly brush his lips on her hand, their eyes still locked.

"No, I don't."

She said nothing more and ripped her hands out of his own, making a quick turn and strutting across the dock.

Dexter turned to him and smirked, "Dude. You just got owned."

Konner scoffed, licking his lips as he watched Alex's hips sway back and forth with each step she took. "She wants me," he looked at Dex, "She just doesn't know it yet."

Dex opened his mouth to reply, but was interrupted by Chris.

"This is my show, stop stealing my spotlight!" he glared at the two, before giving the camera a bright smile, "Anyway, let's introduce... uh... Kanbe Mitsuhide Kobayakawa?"

An asian boy ran off of the boat, his long black hair flowing behind him. "Yeah, that's me! It's great to be here!" He gave each competitor a great big smile, and his enthusiasm made it impossible to grin back. "Whoop, whoop, can't believe I actually made it! Yeah!" he fist pumped, before turning to Chris and flipping his hair out of his eyes. "Can't wait for the game to start, man! It's gonna' be awesome!"

Des, Alex, Konner, and Leigh each rolled their eyes at the boy's enthusiasm.

Kanbe was fairly handsome, though he seemed the type of guy that would be your little brother over a possible lover. He was fairly short for a seventeen year old guy. He was obviously Asian, from his oval onyx eyes to his pale skin tone. He also had long black hair, that reached the bottom of his neck and was shaggy. Kanbe wore a white t-shirt with red dragon designs, long black pants, a gray chain link necklace, and regular black sneakers.

He grinned. "Yeah!"

Chris snorted. "Whatever... It's time to meet the next camper, Phillip Charles Maximom!"

Phil was fairly handsome. With brown eyes and an average skin tone, he didn't stick out much. He had black hair that was greased back and reached the back of his neck and a decent amount of facial hair. Phil had a fair amount of muscle, though it was hidden under his black t-shirt and blue jeans. He had black sneakers and wore white athletic tape around his forearms.

He nodded, not saying anything as he walked past the campers. The campers looked at each other.

Chris shrugged. "Friendly. Anyway, let's welcome our next camper, Finley Karel Davis!"

Finley skipped off of the boat, narrowly missing falling on her face like other campers before her (cough cough, Samantha, cough cough), "Hi, Finley here!" she giggled.

She looked at her opponants. Secretly, she was analyzing each and every one of them. Ooh, they would be cute together. No, wait, I didn't see him! They're already going to hook up, I can tell.

Finley smirked, her eyes lighting up as she went over all of the possible couples in her head.

She was fairly pretty. She had her brown hair styled into a messy pixie cut and wide brown eyes. She had a light tan and a slightly boyish figure, with a near flat chest and virtually no hips what-so-ever. She wore a white tunic that covered up her jean short shorts. She also had on tan keds and a charm bracelet.

Ava looked at Finley (who had her hands wrung together and an evil look on her face) and sweat dropped, "Are you okay?"

Finley blinked, before immediately perking up, "Oh, of course I'm okay!" she winked at Ava, who blinked in confusion.

"Finally, our last competitor!" Chris didn't hide his sigh of relief, "I already need a break from you guys, and it's only the first episode! Oh well, let's introduce our final camper-"

Before Chris could even say the word hair gel, which is technically two words, but who cares, the boat drove up, a cloud of darkness following it. No, seriously, there was one huge dark cloud, and it was only covering the boat... scary.

A red and black van stepped onto the dock, making a single jolt of lightning strike.

Bambi screamed at the sound and thrust herself behind Paul, hiding herself from the newest competitor. Paul glared at her and shoved her out of his way. She whimpered.

The unknown camper gave a cocky smirk. "Vanessa; charmed, I'm sure." she looked at Chris and rolled her eyes, as he was currently curled in a ball behind Konner (who looked like he was going to throw Chris into the lake himself), "Idiots."

Chris gave a pathetic mewl, "...Vanessa Junette Edwards?"

Vanessa was incredibly pretty. She was model thin but she still had small curves and a fair sized bust. Her eyes were a beautiful color of the darkest green, and her right one was covered by a lock of her red hair that reached her mid-back. Vanessa wore black skinny jeans and a red tank top under a black vest (that had silver stars on the back- ooh, sparkly!). Her gold necklace read "sexy".

She smirked. "Yes, that's me." She walked (ahem, strutted) down the dock, eyeing her competitors with only one word on her mind, easy.

Konner grunted and shoved Chris from behind him and smirked. "Dude, I know I'm hot, but you're taking our relationship way too fast," he mocked.

Chris's left eye twitched.

"Anyway, there are the campers for Total Drama Redux! You may love them, you may hate them, but too bad! You're still stuck with them for an enitre season!

"Now, it's time for the moment that we've all been waiting for.. drum roll, please!" as if materializing from thin air, Chef appeared and started to play the drums, "It's time to announce the teams for this season! If I call your name, come stand to my right. Finley, Jose, Kanbe, Larx, Vanessa, Alex, Konner, Paul, Andrew, Desiree, and Bambi; you are now... The Killer Wasps! Now, the rest of you come stand to my left. Dex, Daniel, Sam, Leigh, Riley, Stone, Ted, Ava, Phil, Ramona, and Philly; you are The Screaming Spiders!

Chris clapped his hands together. "Now I suggest that you go unpack and get ready for tomorrow! The competition will start bright and early." he gave an evil grin that only he could pull off.

"But wait," Bambi said, raising her hand, "Aren't you going to show us where everything is?"

"You've watched the earlier seasons, you should know! Now chop chop, off you go!"


The Killer Wasps; Girls Side -6:20 PM

The female side of The Killer Wasps' cabin had only been in room for five minutes, and there was already a fight breaking out.

"No, I want the single bed."

"Look, woman, I don't care how much you want the -bleeping- single bed. I'm tired. I'm sweaty. I've been hit on by some -bleeping- idiot that can't take no for an answer. All I want now is to lay down in my single bed. I'm getting it."

"Well, I'm prettier."

Bambi and Finley whimpered in the corner as the two dominate teenage girls continued to duke it out.

Alex growled before opting not to reply, but to instead let her fists finish the conversation. She grabbed Vanessa's collar. "We'll see how pretty you are when I'm done with you..." She raised her right fist, but paused when she felt a hand rest on her elbow.

"Alex, Vanessa, stop it." Des said, "we're a team, whether you like it or not, and we all need to figure out how to get along. Now sit." She pointed to the floor.

The Hispanic scowled and threw Vanessa to the floor. "Whatever." she rolled her eyes, "I'll share bunks with Des. I want the top bunk." her tone left no room for argument.

"Ooh, ooh! I'll share with Finley!" Bambi giggled.

Vanessa smirked, "So that means I get the single bed." she threw her luggage on her bed, before sitting on the ground cross-legged in between Des and Finley. "So what are we going to do?"

Des shrugged. "I don't really know. Chris said we have a lot of time to converse, so let's... just talk about-"

Finley's former fear turned into excitement. "I know, let's talk about boys!"

Alex hopped off of the top bunk and sat indian style between Des and Finley. She rolled her eyes. "Wow. What are we, a bunch of preteen girls?"

She was ignored by Finley, who was now turned to Des with an evil look in her dark eyes. "I saw that someone here was making googly eyes at a certain bad boy," she gave an over-exaggerated wink, "What do you think about Stone, my dear Des?"

She scowled, but her teammates didn't miss the light blush that graced her pale cheeks. "I just met him, what, twenty minutes ago?" she put a hand on her chest and let out a mock gasp, "Oh, yeah, he's my Prince Charming!

Vanessa gasped. "Wait, Stone? Isn't he on the other team?"

Finley let out a high pitched squeal. "Eeeek, it's a secret love, like Mario and Julia!"

"Romeo and Juliet," Alex corrected and sighed, "their names were Romeo and Juliet..."

She waved her hand. "Oh, same difference."

Bambi was nearly jumpiing out of her seat in anticipation. "What about me, Finley, oh, what about me? Am I going to get my happily ever after on this island?" (2)

Finley looked at her. "Give me your palm." Without warning, she jerked Bambi's pale hand towards her own. Bambi gasped at the pain, but she soon got over it and the smile replaced it.

"Wow, you can like, read palms?"

The boy obsessed teen shook her head. "Well... no.. But it makes me feel like a psychic when I do!" she gave a happy smile and turned towards her hand. "Your love will be a hard journey, I can already tell. You'll fall for a boy that doesn't know how to love. Something will happen, he'll do something wrong, but in the end..." Finley gave a cheeky grin, "LOVE WILL CONQUER ALL!"

Bambi grinned, but gasped when she felt a searing pain in her arm. She turned to see that Finley was poking her in the arm.

"I'll bet it's Andrew. Ooh, or Larx. No, wait, Larx scares me. I'll bet it's Andrew! Or Phil? Yeah, it's probably Phil. Paul, maybe?"

At the sound of Paul's name, Bambi's face flushed. Finley didn't notice.

"Oh, no matter... I'll figure it out later," she winked.

Bambi blushed. "Um, yeah, okay... L-Let's talk about Alex's love life now!"

She was greeted by the bland stare of Alex's coal eyes, "Gee, thanks."

"Oh, we don't need to." Finley smirked slyly, "I already know who she's ending up with."

Alex bit her lip. She thought of all of the boys on the island. From quiet Jose to friendly Ted, she honestly couldn't see herself hooking up with any of them. She couldn't hide her curiosity. "Who?"

"Why, the handsome Konner of course!"

Her reply was a bland stare.

Alex snorted, "Puh-lease, I know guys like him. They're all the same. The only thing that they want is to get into your pants. If he -if you- think that I'm a big enough fool to fall for that, you are sadly mistaken." she put her hands on her hips, "He's a player, nothing more, nothing less."

Vanessa smirked. "He might be a player, but he is super hot. You can't deny that, Lexi."

"I don't care if he's hot, I don't care if he's rich, I don't care if he's the -bleeping- President of the United States. I'll never ever like him."

But she should've known better than to never say never.

~/Confessional\~

Bambi: *squeals* First confessional of the season. Yes!

Alex: My team is made up of a bunch of idiots. 'Nuff said.

Vanessa: This is my competition? *scoffs* Please. Chris should just give me the money now.


The Screaming Spiders; Girls' Side -6:20 PM

All Sam wanted to do was curl up in her bed and read a good book. Of course, though, it seemed like luck wasn't on her side today.

She held her heavy backpack in her left hand and The Notebook in the other. Her teammates had already made it up the creaky stairway and were already unpacking.

The only thing between her and Noah Calhoun was the teen standing in front of the doorway.

"Hey! It's Sam, right?" Dex called. He winked at her, but didn't proceed in moving out of her way.

Sam flushed, "Y-Yeah... It's Sam." she pushed her glasses higher up on the bridge of her nose, "Could you please m-move out of my w-way? I.. I just really need to pack, i-if that's alright..."

Dex nodded matter-o-factly, "Yeah, yeah, I get it. I need to unpack too." He pushed off of the doorway with his right hand, "I'll see you later, Sammy."

"It's Sam," she muttered under her breath.

"What was that?" Leigh could barely contain her smirk. Perfect, an early romance already. If these idiots continue to drool over each other, the only thing between me and a million dollars is a push and a shove. "It looks like somebody has already found their summer love!"

Sam didn't get a chance to reply. Although, it was probably a good thing, considering her face resembled more of a tomato than Sam.

Philly had her regular bright smile on her face, "You guys would be totally adorable!"

Ramona nodded, "Yeah, totally!"

"I can see why you would like him..." Riley smiled slighty, "he is super cute."

"B-But I don't e-even... I've b-barely talked to him!" Sam sputtered. She really didn't understand how the girls could make assumptions so quickly.

Leigh gave her a kind smile that was almost blinding. "It's okay, you like, don't have to talk about it if you don't want!" she motioned to the two bunk beds, "Well, anyway, Ava and I are already sharing a bunk," she turned to said girl, "I want the top, by the way. Philly and Ramona are also paired up, but you can share with Riley!"

Each of the girls nodded.

It was obvious that Leigh was the "captain" of the girls so far. She had a she had a certain charm that made her a perfect leader.

Romana giggled and jumped onto her bed. She looked up at the bunk above her and could feel Philly moving. She had a sly smirk on her face before kicking the bottom of Philly's bed quickly. "SURPRISE!"

Philly, who was just unpacking by throwing her stuff all over the floor, jumped. "Eek, you scared the nuggets out of me!" She flipped over the bed so that her entire upper body was hanging off of the bed, looking at Ramona, with her legs wrapped around the wooden posts that kept the bunks in place.

The two burst into a fit of laughter.

Leigh's eye twitched. I'm on a team with a bunch of idiots. No matter though, that just means less competition. "So, guys, how about we get to know-"

Philly interuppted her with a gasp. Her long legs slipped from the bed posts, sending her crashing towards the splintered wood. She moaned in pain, before she looked up and met Ramona's eyes, and let out a slight giggle.

Leigh forced a smile on her face. "Okay, guys, enough fooling around. We need to-"

"So Sam," Ava said, "have you ever read The Lord of the Rings? It's super good."

Sam grinned weakly, showing off her perfect teeth. "Y-Yeah... I liked it..."

The beautiful smile on Leigh's face was quickly replaced by a scowl. "No, seriously, it's time-"

"So, does anyone here play soccer?" Riley asked, "I thought about trying to get a game together if we ever get the chance to have some free time."

"SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP! I'M TRYING TO TALK."

The girls mouths dropped. Leigh's pretty face was wound up into a horrible grimance of annoyance.

She seemed to notice that everyone was staring at her oddly. She smiled innocently. "...Please?" she fluttered her eyes, "I just want to get to know you guys better. If we all just talked, maybe we could learn each others strenghts and weaknesses..." she narrowed her eyes. "Now."

All five of them scrambled to make a circle.

Whether it was for the good of the team, or in fear of their team leader, no one was really sure.

~/Confessional\~

Leigh: *massages her temples* Do not destroy. Do not destroy. *notices the camera and smiles brightly* Yeah, I'm like, super stoked for the first episode!

Sam: *smiles weakly* I'm really excited for the first challenge...

Riley: *blinks* Wow. That Leigh girl has some pipes.


The Killer Wasps; Boys' Side -6:20 PM

"So... why are you guys here?" Jose asked.

Kanbe stuffed his final suitcase under his bunk, before turning around and hopping on the bed. He sent a grin in Jose's direction, who was sharing the bunk with him. "For the money, duh! I mean, a million dollars? Who would jump at the chance?"

Jose flushed when he realized that the answer to his question was totally obvious. "Oh... yeah, I'm here for the money too."

Andrew pulled out his wad of cash, "I'm here for the million as well," he snorted, "...but it's not like I need it." As if to prove his point, piles of twenty dollar bills fell out of his robe. He squealed (Yes, he squealed. He didn't gasp, he didn't growl, he squealed).

"Yeah, of course I'm here for the money," Konner licked his lips, "but the girls here aren't a bad prize, as well."

The rest of the guys glanced at each other and shrugged.

Konner raised an eyebrow. "You guys seriously haven't checked out any of the chicks?"

Larx rolled his eyes. "Unlike you, we're civilized enough not to completely molest them with our eyes."

Konner didn't answer, instead settling for an innocent shrug.

"Besides, this is a competition," Paul said, rolling his eyes. "If you do try to start a relationship, one of you will just get kicked off soon anyway."

"Well, aren't you optomistic." Jose pouted slightly. (and it wasn't just because Paul's comment reminded him that he probably couldn't be with a pretty girl with even prettier brown eyes. Nope, not at all).

He scoffed. "Why? It's true."

Konner grinned manically and snickered. "Well, Paul, it didn't seem like you were thinking that when you were with Bambi."

Paul groaned, digging his face into his hands. "Oh my God. She is so annoying."

"Oh please, she's not that bad. She's just... friendly?" Kanbe said, shrugging.

"Yeah," Paul rolled his eyes. "Friendly like a rash."

~/Confessional\~

Paul: *rolls his eyes* I'm not sure what's worse. My team or the fact that I am going to be stuck with them all season.

Kanbe: *bouncing in his seat* So yeah, I think that this season will be really exciting because -camera suddenly skips over, only showing Kanbe talking ecstatically- and then I'll win the money! *fist pumps*


The Screaming Spiders; Boys' Side -6:20 PM

It was possible that life couldn't be more awkward for The Screaming Spiders' boys.

"Dude, your sister's kinda hot."

Never mind, it just did.

Dex turned to Stone, who was grinning sheepishly at the Tanner brothers as he unpacked his black packback. "Too much information." his nose crinkled in disgust.

Stone shrugged. "It's true," he said.

Danny scowled. "Maybe to you, but she's our sister. That's really the last thing that we need to hear." Silence was his only response.

Ted noticed the tension in the air and forced on a bright smile. "Come on guys, we're a team! We need to get along." his dark eyes darted from teammate to teammate.

"So... what are we supposed to do?" Phil asked.

Ted gasped, his eyes twinkling. "We could play a game!"

"No."

He pouted. "Fine, whatever..."

Awkward didn't even begin to describe the situation.

Each camper would put away their things, sometimes glancing at each other but quickly away after they caught the other's eyes. Tension was so thick that you could cut it with a knife.

"Guys, we're being ridiculous." Phil raised an eyebrow at his teammates reaction (or... lack of one), and continued, "Like Ted said, we're a team. Whether we like it or not, we need to work together."

Danny sighed. "He's right... But what are we supposed to do?"

Dexter grinned like a boy on Christmas day. "Let's just talk! Okay, so there was this one time me and Danny...


Chris clapped his hands together. "Well, there it is! See you next time for more love, more friendships, and more drama! I'll see you next time on Total. Drama. REDUX!"


(1) Because I know that this is coming, no, Ramona and Philly are not in love. No matter how Twilight-esque their meeting was.

(2) "Oh, will I ever get my happily ever after?" Yes. I am aware that this looks like it should be in a cheesy fairytale... Shut up. xD

True: I updated? I know. I'm just as shocked as you are.

To start, I would say that I was so so so sorry and that I should've updated earlier, but that's so old. So now I'm just thinking it very, very hard. xD

Second, you should totally send in confessionals for your OCs. Foh sho. :D

Third, to be honest, I didn't like this chapter that much. I'm sorry, :( I'm used to doing angst, I haven't done a regular "happy-go-lucky" story in forever. Hopefully, the next few will be better. Not hopefully, they will be. :)

Forth, this wasn't edited. I'm a lazy, lazy girl. xD

Rah-rah-review.

Peace, Love, Happiness

~True(:
