Author's Note: Part 2! And here I go, already showing you why it's rated T.
Chris stood in the messy cafeteria while Chef cleaned up in the background.
"Last time on Total Drama Heart Island," The host announced. "There was a perfectly chaotic food fight!"
"With my food," Chef murmured.
Chris glared at him and continued. "Nathan tried to befriend the asocial Graham, while Cashmere proved to be the only one who can eat any of Chef's food."
"They're all wimps, that's why," Chef muttered.
Chris sent him a harsher glare and said, "The teams found out they had to wander around the island, finding statues of me!"
Chef muttered something incoherent, which was just as well considering the glare Chris sent him.
"Find out what happens next on Total Drama Heart Island!" Chris smiled and then turned around towards Chef. "Chef, can you not act professional in front of an audience? And why were you in my shot anyway?"
Chris started ranting again, brushing off any reply Chef might have had. "See, Chef, this is why I'm host and you're not. Because I have charisma, charm and can act professional."
"Well, pretty boy," Chef replied. "You just had your little breakdown on camera."
Turning around, Chris noticed that the red light was still blinking. "Augh! You were still filming! God, can't you do anything right intern?"
"Sorry!" called an awkward, male voice off camera as the camera started shaking while the intern fumbled with it.
"Now you just spoke on camera!" Chris sighed, "We'll just edit it out later."
Lynn wandered around the camp, trying to find the bathrooms Chris neglected to show them on the tour. Despite not getting hit during the food fight, she decided to at least wash her face before she began the challenge.
She eventually stumbled upon a large, gray blocky structure between the two lodges. After initially wondering how she missed that, Lynn walked up to the two, matching doors that had no markings on which is for which.
Lynn carefully examined both doors, trying to find any identification, but no luck.
"How could something like this happen?" Lynn wondered out-loud.
Izzy giggled as she held the two bathroom door signs, smashing them together in a way to resemble kissing.
"Mwah, mwah," She giggled. "You may now kiss the bride!"
Izzy then started humming the wedding march.
"Uh, Izzy?" Owen said, sitting beside her in the shade of Heart Island's forest. "I don't think we're supposed to be here."
"Well, duh!" Izzy exclaimed. "What's the fun of doing something if you're allowed to? Besides this will teach those crazy producers for not picking Izzy for 'Total Drama All Stars'. Izzy definitely has all-star power!"
"I know," Owen fidgeted. "But I think Noah might be mad if he found out we were here."
"Why do you say that, my big, cuddly donut?"
"Because he already texted me saying that if he found out we were here he would stop being friends with us!"
"Aww, Noah doesn't mean that," Izzy cooed. "Besides Izzy knows how to cover her tracks!"
"See that camera over there?" Izzy pointed to a camera situated in the tree tops. "Watch this!"
Izzy bounded up the tree trunk and took hold of the camera before chomping on it and spewing the lens out.
"Hmm," Izzy said as she chewed thoughtfully. "Tastes like metal and my Grandmother's vitamin pills everybody says I should stop eating!"
She hopped down and landed on the mossy forest floor with a thud. She then turns around and glares at the current camera filming this.
"Oh, and intern?" She said coolly. "I definitely would hurt you."
The camera angles shift to the forest floor and starts bumping up and down in turn with the intern's steps as Izzy cackles in the background.
"Well," Lynn said. "I guess I'll just have to guess."
She shrugs and chooses the door on the left, covering her eyes as she opens the door. A puff of steam floats through the bathroom door before it swings shut, leaving Lynn to her decision.
"Uh, hello?" Lynn calls and her voice echoes throughout the bathroom. "Anybody there?"
"Please don't be naked or a boy," Lynn mutters beneath her breath. Unfortunately Lynn's prayers are left unanswered.
Nathan walks out of the shower, lower body snugly wrapped up in a towel. His black hair is matted against his neck and Lynn can't help but stare at the slight abs on his stomach.
"Oh, hey Lynn!" Nathan greeted, oblivious to Lynn's bright red blush. "Are you lost, or something? Because I'm pretty sure this is the boy's bathroom."
Lynn stutters in response, "R-Right! Got lost! Big island! Got to go!" Before dashing out the door.
...Confessionals…
Lynn is sitting cross-legged, murmuring to herself, "Calm down, calm down, he's just a boy. A hot boy who I happened to see half-naked, but, no need to fuss."
….Break…
"I just realized there were no signs on those doors," Nathan said, fully-clothed. "Somebody should get on that."
….Break…
"I saw the bathroom doors and there were no signs on them!" Tiana blabbered. "So I made these!" She said, shoving two portraits of two stylized silhouettes of a boy and girl into the camera. "Good, right? Wait, why am I telling this to a camera?"
….End Confessionals…
The contestants were standing at the cafeteria entrance, waiting to find out what to do next when Chris waltzed up in front of them.
"Okay, contestants! You have five minutes to discuss your strategy. Now strategize!"
The groups immediately huddled together.
"So, maybe we should spit up? To cover more ground?" Ricky suggested.
"Exactly what I was thinking," Jayce said authoritatively. "Since we have eight people, we should split into groups of two. Any suggestions?"
"Ashton and I can be a pair," Ricky said.
"I can pair up with Tiana," Annabelle offered.
"Aww, thanks!" Tiana gushed.
"No problem, you're nice," Annabelle says.
Maggie glanced around at the team members left, and tugged on Launa's sleeve. "Do you mind if we pair up?"
"Not at all!"
"Guess you're with me," Cashmere said, sidling up to Jayce.
"Yeah, guess so."
Seeing Cashmere hang off of Jayce like that, Launa flushed an angry red.
...Confessionals…
"Jeez," Launa mutters. "I felt like such a spaz since I came on this show. Though I guess it make me more in tune with my emotions."
….End Confessionals…
"So, I was thinking we could split up into pairs." Atlas said. "So we can cover more ground."
Lynn nodded in agreement. "It makes sense. I can pair up with Settler."
"Graham and I can pair up," Jason said, eyeing Graham.
...Confessionals…
"This will be a great challenge to talk strategy," Jason said. "None of our teammates can overhear what we're planning. We'll rely it to Settler later.
….End Confessionals…
"So that leaves Hans, Nathan and me," Atlas summarized. "We'll just be one big group."
"Cool!" Nathan cheered.
"Time's up!" Chris said. "I assume you guys paired off into groups of two, or two groups of two and a group of three in the Arteries' case."
The contestants nodded, some exchanging a few surprised glances that the other team had thought of the same idea as them.
"Well, in that case, it's time to receive your new group assignments!" Chris exclaimed.
The cast groaned and some of them muttered "Why?"
"You see," Chris explained. "If you picked the pairs yourself, everybody would get along and there would be no source of conflict. But I assure you that our team of producers, and me, picked pairs that would cause fighting and agony, all for the audience's viewing pleasure."
"If this was your plan all along, then why did you let us pick partners?" Graham questioned.
"What can I say? I like disappointment with my morning coffee."
"So pair assignments," Chris said. "Jayce, you're probably mad at Ashton for writing a poem, that while did win, let the team down, so what could be better than leaving you and him in a forest alone for hours? Nothing! So you two will be paired up."
Ashton glanced warily at Jayce, who had no readable expression on his face.
...Confessionals…
"Why did Chris say that?" Ashton asked nervously. "Does he think Jayce will hurt me?"
….Break…
"That guy is real subtle," Jayce said sarcastically, referring to Chris. "I'd rather not have the contestants frightened of me, it makes my plan a whole lot harder."
….End Confessionals…
"Launa you're really outgoing and Annabelle, you're really shy. So you two will be partners. Maggie and Tiana? Vice-versa. So have fun together."
...Confessionals…
"Tiana seems nice," Maggie said. "So the changes doesn't make me uncomfortable or anything."
….Break…
"Launa looks pretty nice," Annabelle remarked. "And she's sporty, so I guess that might help?'
….Break…
"I heard Maggie's a dancer," Tiana chattered. "So we can talk about the arts and stuff!"
….Break…
"This seems like a great way to meet new people," Launa said. "And I can always work with Maggie some other time, so I don't mind. What did Chris think I was gonna be like, mad?"
….End Confessionals…
"Ricky, Cashmere," Chris said. "You guys are both egotistical, so have fun trying to one-up each other!"
...Confessionals…
Ricky just sighs, head held in his hands.
….Break…
"Why does Chris think I'm egotistical?" Cashmere asked. "It's not like I did anything too bad, so far."
….End Confessionals…
"Arteries," Chris proclaimed, turning to the team. "Your turn now!"
"Settler, you're a little obsessed with Jason, so it makes perfect sense that you'll be paired up with him this challenge."
...Confessionals…
"Obsessed?" Jason says with wide eyes.
….Break…
"And when Chris said 'obsessed' his eyes practically tripled in size!" Settle narrated. "Still, that isn't a good thing. I don't want him to be avoiding me because he thinks I'm gonna make a doll of him like that Kelsey girl."
….End Confessionals…
"Lynn, Nathan. You're a boy," He said pointing to Nathan. "And she's a girl," He then pointed to Lynn. "Who happened to have an embarrassing moment this morning. So, say hello partners!"
"Hello!" Nathan greeted again while Lynn looked mortified.
...Confessionals…
"Ah, the people's common enemy," Jayce said. "The opposite sex! Because apparently they can't keep their hormones under control."
….Break…
'I don't even want to know what happened between those two," Graham said.
….End Confessionals…
"Nathan, you're not embarrassed or anything?" Chris asked.
"Why, we're buddies!"
...Confessionals…
Lynn just sat there, before taking a few deep breaths and saying, "I'm fine."
….End Confessionals…
"Kay," Chris said, a little weirded out. "Atlas, Hans and Graham you're just leftover, so group of people nobody wants!"
"Technically, you're the one that made the pairs, so nobody really didn't want us-" Hans said.
"Group!" Chris insinuated again.
...Confessionals…
"Nice to know Chris can't make a normal group without giving it a demeaning nickname," Graham remarked.
….Break…
"It's gonna be a little weird working with Graham after trying to vote him off," Hans admitted. "But I'm sure it'll be fine!"
….Break…
Atlas shrugs, "It's kind of the original group, so as long as Graham isn't whiny, we'll be fine."
….End Confessionals…
"So kiddies, go out and find my statues!' Chris exclaimed and the teams meandered out.
"Ugh, so anti-climactic," Chris muttered about their exit.
Chris is standing on the dock, delivering his end-of-the-episode speech. "And the teams have set off on their journey. Who will succeed and who will lose? Will Jayce kill Ashton? And what did Nathan mean by 'buddies'? And will the pairs stir up drama? We hope so! Find out what happens next on Total! Drama! Heart! Island!"
Author's Note: I know this chapter is kinda short and a little out of pattern, having three parts for a challenge, but I really felt I should end it here, and preserve the suspense for the next update. And Izzy and Owen made a cameo! Don't expect this to be regular, but old cast making appearances might happen a few more times in the story's run. Until the next update (which will hopefully be soon)!
