I'm glad I'm getting so many positive reviews! I have a few pairings picked out. You'll see the start of some of the in this chapter and most likely the next!
I needed to go into more development with Alec. I sorta did. For some reason he and Dominic are the harder ones for me. Which I think is strange because one of the pairings was originally Halo/Dominic but I changed it.
I got really mad earlier. I was on a roll writing and I had the beginning PERFECT and the power went out all over town. I was about to save the chapter but I didn't get it done in time. The power was out for four hours. When it came back on, none of my work was saved and I forgot what I had written. So I am actually surprised this is updated.
All Ocs belong to their original owners. I DO NOT OWN TOTAL DRAMA!
Oh, and make sure you read all of the bottom Note! I have a surprise for you there!
After lunch, Mia wanted to hang out with Josh, but she couldn't find him anywhere. Instead she packed a backpack with water and carrot sticks and went outside to explore the nature that surrounded the mansion. She walked out the back doors and down the path they had taken for the team challenge.
After about ten minutes of walking she heard a scream. She looked around and saw a rabbit. Beside the rabbit was a terrified Bruno. The bunny would take a hop towards the teen and he would back away. Mia watched for a few seconds and then went over to help. She carefully picked up the bunny.
"Don't touch that thing! It will take your soul!" Bruno screamed.
Mia chuckled and looked at the small animal in her arms. "This bunny is harmless, Bruno."
Bruno quickly walked away from the girl and the rabbit. Mia shrugged it off and started walking down the path again.
Ten minutes later she decided to take a brake. She sat down under a tree and set the bunny in her lap. She started scratching it behind its ear, fed it carrots, and softly sang to it. She heard rustling in the trees and thought it was a bird.
Hanzo was doing some training and he heard a soft voice singing. He stealthy followed the sound and saw Mia singing to a rabbit. He climbed the tree and stood on a branch for a little while.
The Screaming Ghosts were determined to win the challenge in a few days. They were all sitting in the guys' room. They were taking most of their free time getting to know one another. Halo and Dominic shared an obssession with The Big Bang Theory. Joe and Josh had formed an alliance and were sharing information in secret. They all shared a common hatred for the Twilight Saga, except for Halo. She had said that the half naked Taylor Lautner was the reason she watched the movies. Halo and Alec liked to play World of Warcraft and eat cake at the same time. This resulted in an argument over what kind of cake was the best and whether or not Blood Elves were better than an Orcs. Joe and Halo were both from 'same' backgrounds. Kris and Halo learned they each lost family members to a car accident. Halo had freaked out when she learned Kris was an anime fan. She then had proceeded to ask him about his favorite animes and characters. Leah and Jamie had learned neither one of them had very many friends.
"We are going to kick some serious Critter ass on Wednesday!" Halo fist pumped.
The others nodded in agreement.
Leah's Confessional: "Halo and Jamie are really nice. I don't like how it takes Halo an hour to do her hair and makeup, though. I mean really? I'm sure she's not ugly without it. I think Jamie is my best friend here. We both don't have very many friends. We had fun talking to each other about how the jocks at our schools are idiots."
The girls left the room and went to their own. They walked in and Halo plopped on her bed.
"Halo, do you have a thing for Joe" Jamie asked bluntly.
Halo whipped her body around to face Jamie and said, "Is it that obvious?"
Leah and Jamie both laughed and nodded. Halo's face went red with embarrassment.
"I didn't want to say this in front of the guys, but if Ethan asks our team about someone with a scar on their face, it's me." Halo said.
"Why didn't you want to tell them?" Leah asked.
Halo sighed, "It is a hideous scar. That is why I use so much makeup. But if Ethan doesn't ask about it, can you keep it between us?" The other two nodded.
Halo's Confessional: "I trust Jamie and Leah. Back home my only girl friends are Ici and my best friend, Kathryn. The rest of my friends are male so I get called a slut a lot by the other girls in school. Oh, well, I'm here they aren't! Haha! Take that Snobs!"
The Critter Guys sat in the Room of Elimination getting to know one another.
"Hanzo, you don't speak much do you?" Matt asked. The ninja shook his head.
"I will tell you enough about me so we can win the challenge," he spoke.
Bruno rubbed his hands together. "Let's here it, mate!"
"I value honor. I can walk on water, the side of a mountain, and a wall or ceiling. My favorite color is black and I do not like alcohol," the ninja stated.
Throughout the conversation Rafael was staring at Matt.
After a few more minutes of staring he said, "Hey, Matt. Have you ever been told you kinda look like Mail Jeevas?"
Matt's jaw dropped. "Rafael you are my new found bestie!"
"Nice Hetalia reference!"
"Thanks, Halo and I watch it all the time."
Bruno cleared his throat. "Do we know enough about each other to win?"
Matt nudged Hanzo's side and joked, "Hanzo here has probably been keeping tabs on all of us!"
Hanzo didn't make a comment.
Matt's Confessional: "I really really really hope that he hasn't. 'Cause if he is, I'm probably on his hit list now. Although it would really help us."
Rafael's Confessional: "Rafael likes Matt. He is awesome! He likes anime. He told Rafael he and his sister collect manga. He told Rafael he could borrow some!"
Alec's Confessional: "So, I've just been sitting in the background. I haven't really told anyone a lot about me. But I think I've told enough we have a good chance of winning. I have a bad feeling that we are going to get some questions about out personal lives."
The Critter Girls were in their room talking to one another. Jesse was telling them a story.
"So, I open the lid and inside is this gross looking, pink stuff. I took the moldy cracker and dipped it in the pink stuff. It wasn't that bad."
The girls stared at her in disgust.
Alice's Confessional: "I like Jesse and all, but she has a really sick mind. It's sad that she is homeless, but she needs too stop telling her stories about the disgusting garbage she eats."
"So, girlies, any of the guys catch your eye?" Jesse asked.
Mia blushed. "Ya, I kinda like Hanzo. I ran into him earlier today and we hung out outside. He's mysterious."
"I supposed Josh is good looking. But from our team I'd have to say Matt." Alice stated.
Ici made a gagging sound. "Matt is gross and all he does is play video games. I think Bruno and Joe are cute!"
A knock was heard on their door. Ici got up an answered it. She opened it and Halo was standing their.
"Hey, Hails," she greeted her sister.
"Hey, Ici. You wouldn't happen to know where my turtle earrings are, would you? I can't find them anywhere," Halo asked.
Ici walked over to her suitcase and pulled out a pair of earrings. "You let me borrow them the day before we left our house. I thouht you might want them so I packed them." She handed her sister the earrings. Halo thanked her and left.
"It's nice to see how well you and Halo get along," Mia said.
Ici laughed. "At home we are at each others' throats!"
Dinner time came and all the teens were in the dinning room. Ethan had told them they would be sitting with their teams from now on.
The Creepy Critters' table was on the left. It was a circular table. The order went Rafael, Matt, Alice, Hanzo, Mia, Ici, and then Bruno.
The Screaming Ghosts' table was on the right. It was a square. The order went Josh, Joe, Halo, Jamie. Leah, Kris, Alec, and then Dominic.
Chef brought out dinner. He had cooked some sort of meat with vegetables on the side. Mia left her meat alone and ate the vegetables.
Halfway through dinner the power went out. "Really, Ethan?" Someone asked.
"Hey don't look at me!" Ethan said in a defensive tone.
"How can we look at you if we can't see you!" Halo grumbled.
"The Ghosts are trying to screw with us!" Someone else yelled.
"There are no Ghosts!" Dominic said.
Mia set her fork down and closed her eyes. She started shaking. "Ethan, please turn the lights on."
Everyone sat in the dark for a few more minutes. The power came back on. They looked at the tables. "Beware of us" was written in blue, glowing slime.
"Really, Ethan. More slime?" Halo asked.
"That isn't my slime." Ethan said.
Everyone walked back up to their rooms. Alec sat on his bed talking to Dominic.
"Do you really think Ghosts exist?" He asked.
"There is no scientific way they can," Dominic replied.
Josh grumbled from across the room. "My stupid computer is acting up again."
Alec walked over, took the laptop from his team mate, and started typing. After about seven minutes, the laptop was working perfectly.
"Wow! Thanks!" Josh exclaimed.
Joe's Confessional: *Normal Voice* "I've been talking to Josh. We decided if we lose, Alec is the first to be voted off. He doesn't do anything. Unless he proves himself at the challenge, he is outa here."
"So, tomorrow I think we need to do some flirting," Josh stated.
"What makes you say that?" Kris asked.
"It'd be nice to have a girlfriend here."
I don't like the way I ended it. But I thought I needed something supernatural to happen and the power going off at my house today fit perfectly.
Also, later on in the story I want to do an "Ask the Cast" chapter. You can ask the cast (including Ethan, Chef, interns, and eliminated contestants) anything you want. I am probably going to have several of them. I think I'm going to have one after every elimination challenge.
So, send me some questions! Just state who it is for, a fan name, and what it is. It can be anything you want! (Fan name as in a fake name for you) And if you are the creator you can send in questions from family members of the contestants.
I am glad that so many of you like Halo. I have the challenge chapter figured out a little bit. I know which team is going to lose and who is going to be eliminated.
I still need some ideas for pairings. I have two right now.
How was it? Favorite part? Favorite Confessional? Favorite Character?
I want to know!
