Good day, here is the first episode. I hope you will enjoy it.
It was a beautiful day at Music Island, a quite peaceful island that was located in the sea between Europe and North America. Both Zaira and Don were at the backstage of the Music Theater in the island's small city while Chris and Chef were out on the streets waiting for the contestants. Chris and Chef were both dressed in a black shirt, black pants, and black shoes.
"Tell me, why do I always have to be with you?" Chris asked. "And in fact, this is the most ridiculous costume I've worn since the previous three seasons!"
"Chill your jets, Chris. You're still a host anyways. Zaira just sounded a bit goofy in the casting call." Chef patted him in the back. "And besides, you've got me, Don, and Zaira with ya."
Chris scoffed at his last comment.
"Let's go see how the other two are doing.
Meanwhile, in the theater, Don was peeking out from the curtain. The seats were all occupied as he gasped in shock.
"Where are those people?" Don asked. "The show starts in fifteen minutes and we're gonna be late!"
"Who knows, they're coming here right now." Zaira replied and exited the room.
The co-host wore the same costume as the other two but Zaira had on the same black shirt, a black skirt that reached above her knees, black leggings, and black flats. Her black hair was also tied up in a messy low bun.
The door opened.
"Where are the contestants?" Don asked. "They should be here by now!"
"They're not here yet." Chef answered. "Maybe the bus got caught in traffic."
"And Zaira?"
"I thought she was with you." Chris said.
"Oh yeah, she went to the stage."
At the stage, Zaira arrived and was now busy entertaining the audience.
"Good morning, everyone!" Zaira greeted. "I'm Zaira and here we are starting up the first episode of my season, Total Drama: The Music Unit!"
A wave of applause was heard. Zaira gave a signal to the tech crew at the back and a large screen appeared behind the female host.
"We are now ready to witness the arrival of our contestants!" Zaira declared. "…and performers…"
The screen turned on, showing the view outside the theater.
The camera was placed on a bush so that no one could see it. After a few minutes, a bus came to a halt. The first contestant came out, which was a female.
"Wow, this is great!" she squealed. "Being in a Total Drama show which doesn't require you to survive in the wild is actually great for a first impression."
"Yeah it is." says the next contestant who came out of the bus. He then reached for the girl's hand to shake hands with her. "I'm Lance, but you Hilda call me Lance."
"Oh, nice to meet you, Lance!" The girl shook his hand. "I'm Victoria."
"So, you've been in Total Drama before?" Lance asked. "I haven't. This is my first time."
"Same here."
At the same time, another girl came out of the bus. This girl looked rebellious, considering all the piercings and tattoos on her and she looked around everyone with evil in her eyes.
"Hi Saige." Chris greeted.
"Pfft." Saige rolled her eyes.
"Very well, Saige." Chris said sarcastically and headed for the building. "Just wait with the other pathetic losers."
"Alright."
"Did he just call us pathetic losers?" Victoria raged.
"Presumably, yes." said the sixth contestant who was taller than Victoria. "Just because you guys must be too stupid to join this show."
"Shut up, Mr. Fancy Guy." Saige spat. "I don't care about your opinions."
"Alright, then." the boy smirked. "I wouldn't want to talk to a gorgeous girl like you anyway."
"I said shut up…" Saige hissed. "…Jim."
"Oh don't worry," Jim chuckled formally. "I already have a lover."
Lance and Victoria began whispering.
"I think they're a threat." Victoria whispered.
"Who?" Lance looked puzzled. "Jim? Saige?"
"No, both of them." Victoria answered. "And yes, they do."
"Oh alright."
The next contestant came out of the bus. It was another girl.
"What a dump." she murmured. Chef came before her but heard her words.
"What was that, Annika?"
"I just said that this is a dump."
"It's not a dump because there was a lot more money spent here than the other seasons." Chef spats. "Besides, Chris isn't the one who spent it anyway."
"Well, whatever." Annika flipped her hair. "It's not like I care anyway."
Saige looked at her.
"What?"
"Let's form an alliance." Saige smiled and held out her hand.
"You're on." Annika smirked and shook it.
Jim however, looked at the two girls as if he had a plan, since he was rubbing his hands vigorously.
"Hehehe…" he chuckled. "That'll work."
After for some time, the eighth contestant came out of the bus, it was another boy.
"Wow…" he stared. "There's a lot of hot chicks here, ain't that right, uh…"
He looked to the girl behind him, who was the next contestant.
"Dusty." He read the girl's name from the tag of her bag.
He fiddled her hair playfully.
"Yuck! Get away from me, Daniel!" Dusty ran away towards the other contestants.
"Fool!" Daniel shrieked.
"So be one!"
As soon as the two ran away, the next contestant exited out of the bus.
"Oh, hello Patrick." Chef waved.
"Hmph." the boy, Patrick, scoffed in response. He looked at the outside of the theater. "This show looks like it's for babies."
"No, it doesn't." said the next contestant who was right behind him. "I just hope that where we're about to sleep on won't be like a garbage dump or out of the wild."
"Stop talking, Melissa." Patrick scowled crossly. "Please?"
"Okay." Said the girl who was obviously Melissa.
"That's what my family and friends call me anyways."
"I said– "
"Okay, sheesh!" Melissa said and went off to a corner only to bump into Dusty.
"Hi, JoAnne– "
"Move outta the way." Dusty ordered fastidiously. "And what did you just call me?"
"No, you interrupted my sentence!" Melissa protested imposingly. After that, Dusty ran off. "What with teenagers these days…"
"Sorry 'bout that." Daniel apologized and got out a mini slingshot. "Hehehe…"
"Oh please, Daniel." Patrick rolled his eyes as soon as he saw the slingshot. "If you shoot that I swear you'll be the first one out!"
"Nah, I don't care."
The next contestant soon exited out of the bus. He looked around the place with concern
"This looks scary." he whimpered. "I hope I won't get stage fright."
"Nah, it doesn't look scary enough, Derrick."
The boy jumped up. He turned back to see the next contestant, which was a girl.
"Really, Hilda?" Derrick asked. "You don't get stage fright?"
"Nope." She shook her head
"Oh. Okay. I guess I'll just…" Derrick walked. "…be right by the bench."
After a while, the next contestant came out. She looked everywhere excitedly. Then, she just went and stood off to the side. Afterwards, she stared at Saige intently.
Saige saw this and approached her.
"What are you looking at, moron?"
"Nope. I'm not a moron." the girl replied. "I'm Annabelle. Nice to meet you."
Annabelle held her hand for Saige to shook but just swept it away.
"Stay away from me, Annabelle." Saige sneered rudely. "I don't want to see a duplicate of another person like you anyways."
"Um, okay." Annabelle shrugged. "Wait, what did you just called me?"
"Nope." Saige crossed her arms.
Soon after all the commotion, the next contestant came. He was a boy who went out of the bus and stood off to the side.
"Hi." Said the boy. "I'm Leslie."
"Leslie? Nice name." the outcast replied. "I'm Derrick."
"You got the guts to sing huh." Leslie smirked.
"Who, me?" Derrick chuckled sheepishly. "Um, yep."
"Whatever." Leslie left.
"…That was weird." Derrick scratched his head. "I thought I made a friend."
After that another boy came, who was obviously the last male contestant. Right as he got out of the bus, he just sat on another bench.
"Uh, hello." He greeted Leslie who was standing near him. "What can I help you for?"
"Hi." Leslie greeted back in a plain manner. "Who are you?"
"I'm Josh." Josh smiled. "What's your name?"
"I'm Leslie." Leslie said.
"Nice." Josh nodded. "Can I call you Rusty?"
This made Leslie mad.
"Look, I'm not some metal bike or whatnot that got stuck out in the rain for a couple of years so don't call me that junk!" Leslie yelled which made Josh back up a little.
"O-okay…"
After all the contestants have arrived, Chris came in and joined Chef.
"So, let's see if you're all here…" Chris counted all the contestants to see if everyone was present.
Or not.
"Hey, where's the last one?" Chef asked the contestants.
Everyone looked around their surroundings to see if the last contestant was there. But a girl stepped out of the bushes unexpectedly. She was presumably the last female contestant. "Oh, there you are, Claire." Chris said. "Why'd you wanna play hide and go seek?"
"I'm not trying to play hide and seek, Chris." Claire replied. "I just went to go see… something."
"And what's that something?" Chef asked quizzically.
"Eh, just looks like a camera." Claire shrugged. "I don't know why is it there anyways."
"Alright, since we are all eighteen then, let's head in the theater."
All contestants followed the two hosts inside. As soon as they entered, they were now in the lobby. The lobby looked huge and all floors were in red carpets. The walls were painted in a light gold color which gave the whole place a fanciful look.
"So, this here is the lobby." Chef told them. "You'll be going here once you are eliminated. Because, when you're eliminated, you'll still be doing some performance on stage so this is where we'll meet you."
The contestants nodded in response as soon as Chef turned back to them, later on, pointing to a door.
"This is the confession room." Chef pointed "For this place only though. There are also confession cabins all over the island since most of the challenges aren't in the theater."
Afterwards, they went to the second floor.
"Right here is the way to enter the balcony of the auditorium so yeah, expect a lot of people watching inside." Chris mentioned. "And there are bathrooms in there as well so let's head onto the third floor now."
All of them entered the third floor.
"Here are the bedrooms, where you'll guys be sleeping." Chef told them. "These bedrooms are for the contestants. The hosts though will be in the other side of the hall."
All the contestants, nodded. Again.
"Before we head on to another place in this building," Chef stated. "We'll divided you into pairs to see who sleeps in which room."
Some of the contestants looked pleased with this. The others looked nervous.
"I have a question." Daniel raised his hand. "Are we sleeping girls with girls and boys with boys or the weird way?"
"The weird way." Chris smiled maliciously as everyone groaned for they knew what Daniel meant. "So, for pair number one we have…"
He got out a piece of paper with the contestants' names on them.
"Victoria and Lance."
"Nice!" Lance smiled and shared a high-five with Victoria.
"Pair number two, we have… Jim and Saige."
"Oh, how niiiiiice…" Saige said sarcastically. "I have a pathetic roommate."
"Pathetic you say?" Jim had a malicious grin on. "Heaven knows what'll happen to– "
"Oh, shut up!"
"Yeeeaaaahhh do what the girl says and shut up." Chris glared. "Pair three are Josh and Leslie."
Both contestants just shrugged.
"Pair four are Annabelle and Dusty." Chef mentioned.
"Pfft." Dusty rolled her eyes.
"Pair five, we have Derrick and Annika."
"H-hello." Derrick waved. Annika grinned maliciously in response making Derrick gulp.
"Pair six, are Daniel and Melissa."
Daniel furrowed his eyes at Melissa and smiled. Melissa just smiled back.
"And pair seven are Patrick and Claire."
Patrick got mad again while Claire waved.
"Oh. Yay." Hilda shrugs. "I'm by myself."
"Very well, let's head on back to the first floor."
Dusty: Ugh. Great. Just reeeaaally great. First off in my arrival, I had to deal with an awkward guy who flirts a lot with girls. Now I must deal with some random western guy being my roommate for the entire season. Oh, what joy and happiness would I get from here?
Lance: Yes! Victoria's my roommate! Now I can easily have a potential ally in this game of wits. Or survival. Well, if she's on my team per say. If not, then *sighs* where else would I go? And if you're wondering, no, I do NOT like her like that, okay?
Annika: I've got this weird feeling that Derrick might backstab me during the game. Heaven knows what's he's hiding under that innocent face of his. If this ever happens, I'll have to be on a good look-out for anything suspicious, then the game would simply just be like a pancake flipped to perfection.
Patrick: I can't say that I'm going to be good roommates with Claire. Judging by her looks, she looks like someone I would never get along with. Oh well. Let's just see what time will bring, come forth the challenges.
Saige: Crap. Just pure crap. I don't know how will I deal with this nuisance.
They went back to the first floor. Upon reaching there, they walked to the backstage hall which was located on the other side of the building.
"And here are the backstage rooms." Chef and Chris said in unison. At the same time, Zaira came out of the auditorium with two girls. One of them was a dark-skinned chubby female, with short black hair in a bob hairstyle, with black eyes. The other one was a skinny Caucasian skinned female with long black hair reaching her mid back with bangs on her forehead also with black eyes with black square framed glasses. They both wore the intern uniform.
"Oh, hello everyone!" Zaira greeted. "So here are my three secretaries–"
Chris and Chef looked at her suspiciously.
"I mean, interns. Yes, interns. Because I'm gonna need help on rearrangements. Anywho this one here is Mia." She referred to the dark-skinned one. "She's very skilled in designing and picking in costumes and whatnot."
"Hello, failures." Mia greeted evilly. "Hope you'll enjoy your show… hehehe."
Hilda: This Mia girl looks like a freak. Or rather, she acts like a freak. I thought interns are supposed to be nice unlike the contestants, but, I guess they're just the same. The only difference might be that they work for a different task but we just compete.
Derrick: I don't like this person. At least I'm a guy so I don't need to worry about her.
Daniel: Phew. It's a good thing I'm a guy. Not a girl. I don't regret my decision. *smiles*
"Yeah… right… She talks like that…" Zaira then looked at the other girl. "And here is Zia. She's an expert in hair design."
Zia just waved at the contestants in response.
Patrick: The only thing I could say is that, she's weak. At least she's just an intern.
Melissa: I hope I can make friends with her. She sounds nice.
Leslie: Yeah, for a second there, I don't think she's mute. I think that petty girl is just trying to hide her voice or she will sound as ugly as a train horn about to blow up into a million pieces and fall off from the sky. Okay, I said too much.
"So um, wait, where's Laura?" Zaira looked frantically for the missing intern.
"Present." The last intern said
"She's new so I… don't know much about her… well anyway! While the audience is watching a really long movie in there… hehehe." Zaira cackled and at the same time, there was loud cheering coming from the auditorium, followed by a bunch of ooh's. "We'll get you dressed up one by one. Hm, since I'll be doing the girls, I'll do…"
She looked at all the females in the contestants.
"You first." She pointed at Melissa.
"Ooh, goody!" Melissa clapped and stayed behind Zaira.
"Hm, I'll do this girl over here." Mia pointed at Annika.
"Don't mess up my looks." the percussionist sneered. Saige in the background however, smiled at her.
"I won't." Mia told her with an evil grin.
Meanwhile, Zia whispered something in Zaira's ear. After that, the female host nodded in response.
"Okay Dusty, you'll be going with Zia." Zaira told her.
"Fine." She nodded.
As the girls left to three of the rooms, Don came out of the auditorium.
"For boys, we'll do this three at a time." Don remarked. "I'll take the… uh, you."
He pointed to Jim.
"Exciting!"
Don went in a fourth room and Jim followed suit.
"Now, it's my turn to pick." Chef said to the contestants who were now sitting in nearby sofas. "I choose you, Derrick."
"Okay." Derrick said and followed him to a fifth room.
"And lastly, it's my turn." Chris smirked. "Come with me, Patrick."
"Alright." Patrick followed the arrogant host in the sixth room. The rest of the contestants waited with Laura.
Once everyone was out and ready, the hosts ordered them to line up since they'll be entering the stage one by one.
"Mia, Zia, go and assist the contestants waaaaaaaaaait, where's Laura?!" Zaira asked.
"In the bathroom." Mia answered.
"Oh. So anyways," Zaira continued. "Us hosts have to be in the stage now. And all the contestants, while waiting, practice your performance that you'll be doing."
"What?!" everyone gasped.
"Ugh, just get this piece of paper!" Zaira scoffed and gave the paper to Mia. The latter looked happy but Zia looked sad.
"Ooh, the song you bitches will be singing is called–"
The scene quickly cuts as the camera pans to the four hosts going to the front stage.
As soon as they got there, Chris held up a sign that would tell the tech team to stop the movie. A wave of awwwww!'s was heard in the background. The four just stood at the stage.
"And now, the moment you've all been waiting for," Don began. "We're here to introduce to you our cast of…"
"Total!" Chris and Chef yelled.
"Drama!" Zaira and Don followed.
"The Music Unit!" They all said in unison in which the audience roared with applause while the theme played in the screen.
How is the first episode? Let me know what you think about it in the reviews. Thank you. I will see you next time.
