"April 24, 2011. Exactly one year after magic was revealed to the Earth as being real on the most eventful episode in the Total Drama series. A lot of TV show producers would kill for the ratings that something like that would bring to their show, huh?" Bridgette chuckled slightly as she addressed the audience in front of her, who also chuckled at that remark.

She and the other Keepers had been invited to Washington D.C. by the American President and she in particular had been invited to give a speech for the one-year anniversary of the Magical Reveal since she was the only American citizen of the group.

The other Keepers stood around her as she spoke.

"We discovered our role as Keepers shortly after the first Aftermath episode of Total Drama World Tour aired, but we noticed our powers and strange things happening around us even before that. Our training, which was aided throughout the season by our predecessors Vesta Rosier, Marissa Bryan, Aideen Robinson, the late Deanna Wilson..."

Bridgette glanced at Heather, whose expression did not change. "... and Akari Nanika, among others was certainly... eventful..." Bridgette said.

"We were certainly not as skilled with our powers then as we are now. For example, during my first training session, I tried to make a water balloon like how Marissa had shown me. Mine wasn't as big as hers had been for one, yet I somehow managed to freeze it without intending to and made it explode with enough force to send me careening straight into the nearby ocean..." She chuckled at the memory and so did the audience and her fellow Keepers.

"A lot has happened since then and we Keeper girls or as we've been dubbed by many, the Total Drama Keepers or TDK for short, aren't afraid of being in the front of the new Magical Revolution. I am American born and though I moved to Canada at a young age, I can never forget my American roots. I will do my best to help the Revolution in both countries, as will my fellow Keepers in not only the United States of America and Canada, but in as many countries on Earth as possible."

Bridgette finished off her speech and went to sit alongside her fellow Keepers near the back of the platform as the American President went up to speak.

"Nice speech, Bridgette!" Lindsay thought.

"Thanks. I really put a lot of thought into it. It took me ages to come up with all of it and not have it sound boring and full of empty platitudes..." Bridgette thought back.

"You got that right. Sounded much better that a lot of speeches that I hear from these windbags these days. No offence, Lindsay." Heather thought.

"None taken!" Lindsay thought.

"I just can't believe that it's been a year already since all of this happened..." Gwen thought.

"I know, right? This... all of this... it's just been so crazy!" Izzy thought.

"So many things have happened, both good, both bad... I would have never thought that this would have happened to us of all people..." Lindsay thought.

"AMEN to that!" Izzy thought.

Once the event was over, the Keepers walked together to their transportation to the White House, where they were supposed to spend some time before going back to their hotel and getting ready to head back to Canada the next day.

"Seriously. I can't believe that it's already been a year though. It seems like everything just happened yesterday..." Heather said as they stepped into their limo.

"I know! We were all having the worst time of our lives as Total Drama contestants and now, not only are we some powerful magical beings, but we'll be finishing High School soon too!" Lindsay exclaimed.

"High School was hell. I can't wait until it's over." Gwen grumbled.

"It would be for unpopular people like you. People like me and Lindsay on the other hand..." Heather smirked. "As for Bridgette and Izzy, they'd rank somewhere in between. Trust me, I'd know. I worked very hard to build up my empire and I still plan on going out as the Queen Bee!"

"Like that's going to mean anything after you graduate..." Gwen rolled her eyes.

"Of course not. Unlike most people in my cohort, I'm aware of that. I have plans to build myself up after I leave of course. I can't be an unsuccessful lawyer!" Heather exclaimed.

"A lawyer. Why am I not surprised that you would take that path as a career choice?" Gwen chortled.

"Well, I want to be a doctor so I have plans to go to University of Ottawa to study biology first. Maybe I'll see Kimberly around there since she's there doing Criminology herself..." Bridgette said.

"I'm totally going into fashion design and marketing. I applied to a few schools in New York for it and I got accepted into all of them! I still can't believe it!" Lindsay squealed in excitement. "But I haven't decided which one I want to go to yet..."

"Blah, blah, blah. I'm going to UCLA. I'll be studying Mathematics, but I'm hoping to get back into acting down there..."

"You got into UCLA?" Heather asked in shock. "To study Mathematics?"

"What? I'm not stupid!" Izzy exclaimed indignantly.

"She's right. She's not stupid. She's just crazy." Gwen nodded sagely.

"More than crazy. Her factory might be open, but it's making something else! And I thought high school math would be enough. I just barely managed to maintain a B average in that wretched subject!" Heather exclaimed.

"Okay girls, can we stop talking about school now and just enjoy the ride? I mean we'll all be back at school within the next 2 - 3 days anyway..." Bridgette said.

"You're right. Let's just relax and enjoy our stay here and..." Gwen was cut off when the ground shook violently.

"What the hell was that? It wasn't a natural earthquake!" Heather exclaimed.

They all screamed again when the ground shook so hard that the limo flipped right over.

"What's happening?" Lindsay screamed in fright as the ground shook again.

"Nothing good, that's for sure!" Izzy exclaimed. "Let's get out of here! I'm beginning to feel like a milkshake- and not the kind that brings the boys to the yard!" Izzy squirmed out of her seat as Gwen made a portal out of the car.

"Yep, definitely nothing good." Gwen said as she looked around, seeing several monsters roaming around Capitol Hill.

They all transformed.

"I'll get the driver out. You go ahead and help out however you can!" Gwen headed towards the driver's side.

"How can we help?" Bridgette asked, flying up to a soldier that she knew was high in rank judging by his uniform.

"Ah, Keeper Bridgette. Good to see you in person at last. I'm Colonel Jacob Warren Jr., the great-grandson of Keeper Marissa's predecessor Keeper Elizabeth." He shook her hand.

"Small world.." Bridgette said.

"I know. But enough of the pleasantries ladies. I'm sure you're eager to get into action. The monsters seem scattered primarily in the North West and South East areas, but the White House is in the centre of it all. It's officially on lockdown and the entire First Family is safe..."

"Small mercies..." Bridgette thought.

"Good. I can't imagine what would happen if the President had been killed by a magical creature. It would set back everything we're working on!" Heather exclaimed as she blasted back an approaching monster with several boulders.

"I get the feeling that is what someone wants! Otherwise why would they have picked today when we're here?" Bridgette froze another monster and shattered it into several pieces.

"Whether that's the case or not, we need to bring this under control. Now I've got to go rejoin my soldiers. I will hopefully see you around when the chaos is over!" Colonel Warren ran off to rejoin his soldiers.

"What's the scoop?" Gwen flew over to them, blasting a creature out of her way.

"Somebody set loose some monsters in the capital of the United States on the anniversary of magic being revealed to Earthlings while we're here! Obviously want to create a division between us and non-magicals!" Lindsay blew back three creatures.

"Let's get to work ladies! I don't want to be around here all day!" Gwen slashed at another monster with an energy sword.

Xavier laughed as he watched the chaos break out on a television in his living room.

"This... this is way too much fun!" He exclaimed.

"I think it's just way too much, period." Zilla said flatly.

"Don't you think that you're going overboard with this? Why not let just let them destroy themselves instead of you trying to destroying them? Sowing seeds of distrust, hatred and lies? Being subtle?" Savion asked.

"While that approach is also fun, this helps to speed up the process." Xavier explained slowly.

"But... Don't you think this is going overboard? You don't have to kill and hurt people yourself in order to create divisions among them..." Zilla said.

"Hey you two! Are you going soft? What's the problem? This stuff is fun!" Payne said.

"Yeah! Just sit back and enjoy the damn show already!" Drake exclaimed.

Zilla and Savion looked at one another and sat back down reluctantly.

"All over the Internet, people are going crazy!" Gwen's brother said to her in a Skype conversation on her laptop once she was back in the hotel room she was sharing with Lindsay and Bridgette.

"I can only imagine. It was chaos to get back here... Plus we had to meet with the President and a few other army people before we could come here. The amount of tiredness I feel right now I feel..." Gwen yawned. "...is comparable to after the final battle with Radcliffe or... yawn... when we had to deal with that explosion in Desiderata Valley..."

"Go to sleep, Gwen. You're going to need it. That much I can tell. Please. Go. We can talk tomorrow when you find the time..." Her brother said.

"Fine. Good night, Matt." Gwen yawned again.

"Technically you mean good morning, but I'll accept that." He ended the call with a grin.

"Seriously, this is going to set us back a bit getting back to Canada, isn't it?" She asked the other two.

"Pretty sure it will. It's a miracle that being Keepers and all, that we didn't miss out too much on school..." Bridgette said.

"But of course we have lots of awesome people to help us out, like Hasim. He actually helped me to pass biology this year!" Lindsay exclaimed.

"A miracle in and of itself, that is..." Gwen yawned again.

"Let's just get to sleep, you two. Surely we could all just talk tomorrow?" Bridgette ducked under the sheets of her bed.

"Agreed. Like my brother said, I know I'm going to need it..." Gwen jumped into bed and snapped her fingers, plunging the room into darkness.
