A\N:
The second part of the first episode!
I decide to divide it in four parts, because otherwise it would take me time to write. In the next chapter, you can make your vote, but so far, all your OCs are safe. :) Meanwhile, you can enjoy the interactions between the conpetitors and Chris's first challenge.
Warnings? Some grammar mistakes, I hope you can understand it the same. The names of the teams suck, never mind. I hope once again that he wrote all the characters with their personalities right. But I'm starting to know them better and I must say it's fun to write about them.
Enjoy! Reviews always make me happy - as long as they aren't flames, but all you have been very kind to me. :D
How we met the stars - Part 2
All the contestants sat on the seats of a sort of theater - could you call it a theater? It looked more like a dump. But the conpetitors paid no heed, they were focused to watch the host that rose above the stage, bypassing an assistant who was bending down to wash the dirty floor. He stopped at center stage and with a dazzling smile he began to explain all the rules:
"How about? Every evening, after the challenge, the losing team will be here. Each of you will vote on the teammate that you want to send back home in the confession cam. The eliminated will be accompanied by Chef. The person who is the last one left in the competition wins one million dollars. The symbol of immunity will be... this! A small Grammy that will allow you to stay in the game."
Chris showed them a small reproduction of an grammy awards.
"Now, I'll divide you in two teams. But first, do you have any question? Ah, for the lunch, you have to ask Chef. He'll cook for you." said this, Chris chuckled to himself, while competitors were looking at him worried.
Damon raised his hand. "Chris, you didn't say where we will stay..."
"I'll show your houses later. The guys'll sleep on one side, the girls in the other, of course. There is a communal bathroom building for everyone to use. Now, without wasting anymore time, I split up you in teams. When you hear your name, go up on stage."
An assistant passed a sheet of paper to Chris, the latter started to read it. "Tonya. Lucas. Ben. Takara. Ginny. Nathan. Ananasia. Craig. Ellana. Jake. Brianna. You are... the Merciless critics!"
The teens looked at Chris oddly.
"Now, the other team! Luke. Trix. Damon. Jesus. Faith. Crystal. Dean. Taylor. Ken. CJ. Louise. You are... the Sleazy directors! What do you think? Do you like the name?"
The teens looked at each other undecided and Luke said:" Well... it seems... like a... name."
Chris was disappoint.
Chef popped up behind Chris. "I told you that those names would suck!"
Chris turned toward him. "My agent found them cool!" Then, he said to the teens:" Guys, he's Chef! He'll cook for you... good luck!" Chris started to laugh again, while Chef glared at him.
After he had finished laughing, he wiped a tear from his eyes. "Why don't you go to the accomodations, before reaching the main lodge?"
Ten minutes after, the teens came to the accomodations. They were amazed: the accomodations were two small houses not very far from the main lodge, and they seem the only thing of that place that was neat and clean.
The houses were of wood and painted white, the roof was painted a dark red. They were dived in two halves, one part for the boys and one for the girls. But the things that astonished the boys more were the small gardens of fake grass and fake trees around the houses. In addition, on each garden there was a golden mail on which was written the teams's names.
Almost all the teens admired the houses. "It seems to be the home of a gnome..." Craig said, looking at the Critics's house.
"Are you kidding? I found it wonderful!" Takara replied to him.
"Ok guys, I'm going to choose my bed!" Ellana said, as she opened the door of the girl's side. But when she looked at the room, she was very disappointed.
Unlike of the outside, the interior was horrible. The wood wasn't painted. and there were only bunk beds and drawers.
Ginny giggled:" Nice trick! It was too weird from Chris to prepare a comfortable accommodation!" Tonya also began to giggle with her.
Ellana replied:" Do you find it fun? Well, you can laugh now, but I'd like to see how you'll laught tonight, when we'll sleep here!"
Ananasia entered in the room and chose a bed. "We'll get used to this..."
CONFESSION CAM - Nathan
Nathan looked around nervously. The confession cam is a little dressing room.
"Ok, this is my first confessional. Uhm... I'm here in the set from... more o less forty minuetes. So far, everything is ok. Even if we have a psycho host and at the end of the week I'll be dead." He sighed, then he tried to console himself:" Well, maybe it can also fun." He giggled nervous.
Even the Sleazy Directors seem disappoint of their room.
"Ok, we have to do some cleaning here!" Taylor said, removing dust from the window with a tissue. A ray of sunshine through the window, illuminating the room, which until then had been darkened.
"And it would be nice also to find a larger space for my clothes. These drawers are too small!" Crystal said.
Trix didn't seem pleased at the lack of privacy that she needed.
"Girls, are you ok?" Jesus knocked on their door.
"What're you doing here? This isn't your room!" Trix said.
"Forgive me. I just wanted to know if you need something. No matter, you call me if you need help." The boy answered.
"You're very kind, but we're fine. Thank you very much." Taylor responded politely.
Soon as the boy walked away, Faith said:" That guy seems so gentle."
"Well, I usually don't trust anyone, especially courteous boys." Trix commented.
Louise began to jump on her bed happily. "Whoo-hoo! I can't believe to be here!"
Faith smiled at her joy, while the others girls were just impressive by her energy.
Some time later, adolescents were in single file while Chef is giving them the "lunch". He said:" Last season's competitors have had problems to appreciate my... uh... cooking. I hope that you are less picky."
He poured a mysterious green goo in Ellana's bowl. She looked it disgusted. "Uhh... what is it?"
Chef replied:" I don't think that you would like to know it." The girl went to sit wondering if eating it or not.
Lucas, taking his lunch, went to sit next to Ginny and Tonya. But when he sat down, he realized that there was a plate of green goo in his chair. He was sitting on that thing!
He stood up, looking at his pants. "Oww, this is gross!"
The two girls began to laugh. Lucas asked:" Why did you do that?"
Tonya put her arm around his shoulders. "Come on! Take it easy! You know, I couldn't wait to make this joke to someone here, all the people at home know almost all of my tricks!"
Ginny asked them, still a little chuckling:" However, what's your favorite Harry Potter's character?"
CONFESSION CAM - Ginny
Ginny said:" I absolutely love Harry Potter! My favorite book and movie! I know all the bio of every character and I own all the Hogwarts houses' regular and Quidditch robes!"
Dean sat near Ken and looked him into his eyes. "You, you are my friend, aren't you?"
Ken looked him a little worried, trying to get away a little by moving the chair. Dean sighed and gave him a facepalm.
Meanwhile, Chef was serving food to Faith. She continued to asking for more:" More, please... more..."
Chef shouted:" Why don't you eat what you have on your plate, for now?"
Jake, who was behind her, said:" I see you like to eat, toothpick!"
Faith responded:" Yes, I don't gain any weight!" And she went to sit.
An hour later, the teens gathered outside the partially destroyed buildingof the set. Chris was waiting for them.
"So, how's it going? Do you like the houses?"
"In our house the door handle is broken..." Luke said.
"And the light bulb doesn't work..." CJ added.
"I don't care..." Chris said. "If I were you, I worry instead of the challenge you'll have to face now."
"What is the challenge, McLean?" Craig asked, rather annoyed.
"Today, since it's your first day, we'll start with something peaceful. An exciting and violent... action movie!" Chris said with a smile.
The teens continued to listen him.
"Your first challenge is this: step into this building you see in front of you and get a bomb that will explode in forty minutes. The bomb is on the top floor of the building, you expect a long climb. But beware, in the palace there are many surprises that will make the challenge more difficult..."
"W-what k-kind of s-surprise?" Nathan asked fearful.
"What surprise is that if I tell you now?" Chris replied smiling. "Of course, the first team to get the bomb wins the challenge, while the losing team will send home a teammate. Any question?"
Many people raised their hands, but Chris ignored them. "It seems not. Are you ready? Go!"
The two teams entered in the building, but a team went in one side, and the other team went in the other side.
The merciless critics went to the left.
"We must seek an elevator!" Craig cried.
"Why?" Ben asked.
"Simple, no? We take the elevator, we reach the top floor in a second and we have more time to seek the bomb." Craig said.
"But do you think there is any elevator in this kind of ruin?" Jake asked.
"Yeah... and then, it doesn't seem a good idea..." Ananasia said.
"Do you want to win, or not?" Craig said. "Look, here's an elevator!"
The teens stopped in front of the elevator. It was narrow, there wasn't space for many people. However, Craig insisted to go all together, so as to save time. So, the Critics came together in the elevator and Takara pressed the button on.
While the elevator was going on, Ben realized that he was close to Brianna. When their eyes met, he asked hopefully:" Hi... what's up?" But Brianna just rolled her eyes and looked away from him.
Suddenly, the elevator stopped. All gulped.
"Ok guys, what's happen?" Ellana asked, beginning to be afraid.
Meanwhile, Chris was watching the whole scene on the screen, and laughed:" I love this show! And still more, the new competitors with no experience in the reality show! They won't survive a week here! But let's see if the Sleazy Directors are more successful!"
The Sleazy Directors were walking in an hallway.
"People, it's dark here..." Luke said.
"Perhaps we haven't taken the right way..." Crystal said worried.
"There is a stair!" Louise cried and surpassed the others running. Her teammates followed her.
Unfortunately, they were in front of lasers. Suddently they heard Chris's voice from a speaker:" Watch out for those lasers, which could burn you if you touch them!"
"Is Chris watching us?" Luke asked, forgetting that it was a reality show.
"I ALWAYS look you!" Chris shouted.
"This makes me feel uncomfortable..." Trix said.
"Should we find another way?" Daman asked, looking the lasers worried.
"Oh, come on dude! I've already done a lot of times, in my movies." CJ ensured the others.
"Are you an actor?" Crystal was surprised.
"Of course! Have you ever heard about Chris Lyle Jacobs?" The boy asked her, quirking the eyebrow.
Crystal looked at him confused. CJ remained a little disappointed, but he told her, flirting:" Well, maybe one day I would invite you to watch "Two Dudes and a Baby" with me, babe."
Unexpectedly, Jesus screamed:" BUT WHY DON'T WE HURRY?"
All the others stared at him half frightened and half surprised. Jesus managed to find his usual clam. "Er... uh... that is, I meant... if you like."
CONFESSION CAM - Jesus
Jesus said:" My plan is this: be nice with the others, in order to win their friendship and above all their trust. But stay calm is more difficult than I expected." He sighed and looked straight through the camera. "I'll have to work hard to get my goals. Thankfully they didn't know my real me." He smiled evily.
Without more, the competitors started to walk trying to avoid the lasers.
Meanwhile, the Merciless Critics were locked in the elevator. Everyone was in panic.
Tonya said:" I think Chris made us a trick."
Ginny added:" Not so cool. A trick it's nice when it isn't dangerous..."
Ellana cried:" Please, do something! I don't want to stay trapped in here!"
Jake said, pointing Craig:" Why don't you ask at our guide here?"
Craig replied angrily:" We all agreed on taking the elevator, in your opinion how could I know that it would stop?"
"Guys, calm down. The only one to blame is Chris. He had said there would be some surprises. Now we must find a way out of here. Remember that we are a team, we must work together." Ananasia said, trying to calm Jake.
"All this is wonderful. Now, please, take us out of here." Ellana said, who couldn't wait to go out.
Lucas intervened:" Try to press others buttons. Maybe it'll work."
Craig said:" I'll take us out of here in my way!" He tried to open the elevator's door and added:" If someone has a bit of muscle, I would appreciate a little help."
Jake rolled his eyes, pushed through the others and helped him to open the elevator's door. He also said:" We need something that blocks the door."
Ginny took out a small stick of iron. Brianna asked her:" What is that?"
"I dunno, I found it before and I thought it would be useful to make some trick..." the girl replied.
"That is ok." Jake took the stick and succeeded on blocking the elevator's door. The boys were able to exit.
They knew that they were on the top floor. Craig said to them, glad he was right. "Have you seen? Just learn to trust."
Jake and Ellana rolled their eyes, while Ananasia said:" Now we have the advantage there. We can divide and seek the bomb."
Ben tried to get close to Brianna again. "Looking for the bomb with me, baby?"
The girl replied, a bit shy and uncomfortable:" Uh... but in truth I... I was going to seek the bomb alone."
Before the boy could reply, many men, dressed in a black suit, appeared and surrounded the competitors.
Nathan gave a little scream and jumped into the arms of Ginny. She smiled at him.
Meanwhile, the Sleazy Directors were walking in the hall, trying to avoid the lasers. Only Louise moved quickly, overcoming the others. "Go guys, go!"
Suddenly, Ken turned to another of his characters: this time it was Taz.
Dean, who was on his feet with one leg, turned toward him worried:" What are you doing?"
Ken, didn't answer, but ran ahead and surpassed all the others in less than five seconds, before returning to normal. Others looked at him open-mouthed.
When everyone crossed the hall, all went up in a staircase in a hurry.
Unfortunately, a surprise was awaiting them upstairs.
What will the Sleazy Directors find upstairs? What will happen to the Merciless Critics? Which team will win? You will have to wait for the next episode of... Total Drama Movie!
So, how was it? I hope you enjoyed it, and sorry for my poor English. Please, review and go see the forum.
