Hey y'all! It's been a long time since I wrote something, so here's a story that I might actually write fully.
There might be some non-canon ships at some point, so beware if you're not into that stuff!
During songs, character names will be shortened.
With that being said, here's the first chapter of "Ezekiel's Time Tour".
(BEGIN CHAPTER)
Ezekiel woke up to a scenario that he hadn't seen in a long time.
He was in a bus with some of his fellow Total Drama cast mates. He noticed that not everyone was here. He couldn't find Katie, Sadie, Justin, Eva, Trent, Beth and Geoff.
This specific version of the cast seemed very familiar to him, but he was having trouble remembering why.
His head was aching for some reason. He took his hand to his head and that's when he noticed something: he had hair.
The homeschooled boy had long lost his hair after becoming feral, yet, there he was, feeling it in his hand. And then he looked at his hand. It was normal. It had a normal color and didn't have claws.
He was very confused.
He turned his head around and saw that Lindsay was sitting behind him. Ezekiel could see her listening to one of Izzy's crazy stories. He knew that the blonde was into fashion and cared a lot about how she looked, so it made sense to him that she would be carrying around some sort of mirror.
"Excuse me, eh,", the prairie boy asked Lindsay, "do you have a mirror I can use?", Ezekiel was surprised by the fact that he was talking. He had lost his ability to speak around the same time he had lost his hair.
"Sure! Here you go, Esteban!", Lindsay gave him the mirror.
Ezekiel thanked her and looked into the mirror. He could see his face. His face was normal. He gave the mirror back to Lindsay and continued to inspect himself. He was completely back to normal.
And then, he started piecing everything together. The specific cast, his appearance, the bus… he was back in Total Drama World Tour.
And then, the moment he realized that he was in World Tour, he remembered how he got here.
"This is going to be an incredible season!", Chris told Chef.
Ezekiel was inside a cage, surrounded by lots of things, like animals, dynamite and weird machines.
"Imagine what we could with a time machine, Chef!", Chris exclaimed, "We could send the contestants to fight cavemen with dinosaurs!"
"Cavemen and dinosaurs didn't exist at the same time…", the cook muttered. Then he spoke more loudly, "How are you sure this thing works?"
The host put a hand to his chin. Then, he had an idea.
"Alright, let's set the machine to take people to… the time of Total Drama World Tour! That was a fun season! Except for the part when the plane exploded."
He typed something in a machine. That machine had a big round part, that looked like a portal. Turns out it truly was a portal, as it opened up.
"Chef, please go get Zeke."
The cook opened the cage and grabbed Ezekiel by the neck. The feral boy was having trouble breathing.
"Throw him in!", the host ordered.
Chef obliged and threw Ezekiel in the portal.
Inside the portal, there was a lot of weird colored lights that hurt Ezekiel's eyes and were giving him headaches.
"We probably should have strapped some sort of camera on him.", Chef noticed.
"Yeah, you're right.", Chris admitted, "But at least we got rid of Zeke!"
Back to in the present, or the past (or the future? I don't know anymore), Ezekiel had finished remembering what had happened.
A realization came to his mind: he knew how the season would go. He could actually win.
He decided to not get too overconfident. That was his downfall last time.
The bus had stopped. Ezekiel looked through the window. He saw the airport.
'Alright, Zeke,', he thought to himself, 'now's your chance to redeem yourself.'
Last time, he went outside before time. This time, he was going to wait for his turn.
The contestants were standing in line. Ezekiel was behind Bridgette and was the last person in the line. He noticed that there were some curtains in the back seats, probably as a way to hide the two new contestants, Sierra and Alejandro.
'Holy crap, I know his gameplan!', the homeschooled boy realized, 'I can take him down early!'
The line was much shorter now. Ezekiel was so close to the door he could hear Chris talking.
"And returning favorites, Noah, Cody and Izzy!", the host announced.
"Also returning this season, Tyler and the co-host of Total Drama Aftermath, Bridgette."
This time they didn't trip, since there was nothing to trip on.
"And last, and most definitely least, sexist homeschooled kid Ezekiel."
Ezekiel got out of the bus and awkwardly waved his hand at the rest of the cast. He really didn't like being reminded of the comments he made in the first season. How could he know they were false?
"And now, to mix things up and keep it all fresh," Chris started announcing, we're adding two new contestants! He's and honor role student with a diplomat for a dad and an amazing ability to charm the pants of most species, Alejandro!"
Alejandro came out of the bus, with sunglasses on, and then takes them off. Most of the girls (and Owen) were really attracted to him. Ezekiel didn't have a plan on how to take Alejandro down yet, so he just smiled and hoped it would give Alejandro the impression he was on his side.
Chris announced the other contestant.
"And she's a sugar-addicted super fan with 16 Total Drama blogs, Sierra!"
Sierra got out of the bus and started talking so quickly and so excitedly that Ezekiel couldn't keep track of what she was saying. All that he could understand from what she said was "paper bag".
She then ran to Cody.
"Oh my gosh, Cody! I dreamt of this moment, only you weren't wearing a shirt!"
A part of Ezekiel felt bad for Cody. It probably wasn't very comfortable to be having a stalker pursuing you 24/7. However, another part of him wished he was in Cody's place, as he didn't really have much fans and probably no one from his small fanbase was actually crushing on him.
As he was thinking this, the Total Drama Jumbo Jet got next to the cast. Ezekiel looked at the plane and saw that it was as terrible as he remembered it.
"What the?!", Duncan exclaimed.
"Excuse me,", Courtney said, "I would like to express some concern about the safety of our plane."
Chris claimed that it was safe. As if on cue, part of the plane fell off, with a rat and a raccoon in there.
"Now boarding.", the host said.
This made an already distressed Owen even more distressed, who started crying, saying it was unethical and asking that the United Nations and his mother were called. Chris shut him up with a frying pan to the head.
"Anyone else got a problem with it?", Chris threateningly asked.
The contestants just pretended to like the plane, as they did not want to get their skulls damaged.
Chris turned to the camera and spoke to the audience.
"Now boarding on a voyage to a million big ones, we're saving you a first class seat from all the action, right here on Total...Drama...World Tour!", Chris sang the "World Tour".
As the contestants stand in the airport, looking at the man who wants to make them suffer sing, only one word was needed to translate everyone's emotions and thoughts.
"Seriously?", Duncan asked, speaking for basically everyone.
Inside the plane, the contestants were talking about the fact that they had to sing. Most didn't like that.
"Why are you doing this to us?!", Heather demanded knowing.
Chris explained.
"Singing reality shows are huge, and the worst the singing, the higher ratings which is why on this show, there will be no vocal coaches, or rehearsals or warning!"
The contestants groaned at this. Chris, in proper McLean fashion, ignored them.
"Any who, this is the dinning area, where you'll enjoy in-flight meals."
Ezekiel didn't speak this time. Leshawna asked a question.
"Is there a lady's room?"
"Just through there.", Chris pointed behind him.
"Good, cuz I gotta make a deposit."
When she was inside the room, the other contestants heard her yell.
"There's a camera in the potty? Again?!"
Chris laughed at this, while the contestants felt even more bummed out.
The tour continued as they went to a very crummy part of the plane. In a plane as crummy as this, that means it's incredibly crummy.
"Losing teams will enjoy luxurious economy class accommodations between destinations.", Chris told the contestants.
"Ok, well, where are our beds?", Lindsay asked, as there was nothing that seemed appropriate to sleep on.
The host turned his head to his right.
"Owen, care to demonstrate?"
Owen was strapped to the wall. There was an industrial amount of drool coming out of his mouth, and he was occasionally sleep-talking, saying things like "Plane! No!".
"That does not look comfortable.", Heather said on everyone's behalf.
"No comfort,", Chris said, "for losers safety harnesses and an emergency exit, but no comfort here, here or here."
As the host pointed towards various locations when he said "here", Sierra laughed at his sense of humor. She also started saying something that Ezekiel couldn't understand.
Chris and the contestants were now in an area that was so luxurious that it looked out of place in the plane.
"This is the first class cabin, the domain of each week's winners.", Chris told the contestants.
While Alejandro was flirting with Lindsay, Ezekiel was planning on pretending to be on his side and, when the spaniard was least expecting, he would eliminate him. But Zeke felt like he needed help to make his plan work. He decided to talk to Noah, as he knew that the bookworm had managed to trick Alejandro into believing he was on his side.
"Hey, Noah,", Ezekiel whispered, "I don't trust that Alejandro guy. Do you, eh?"
"No.", Noah whispered back, "Don't tell anyone, but I'm going to pretend to be on his side and get rid of him when he least expects it."
"That was my plan too! I guess great brains think the same, huh?"
"Ok, first, the saying is 'great minds think alike', second, you should brush your teeth. It smells like something died in your mouth."
Ezekiel tried to smell his own breath. When he did, he noticed that it truly smelled bad.
"Will do, eh.", Ezekiel told Noah.
Then, they saw Tyler falling to the ground. It looked like he tried to impress Lindsay and had failed.
The contestants were now in an impressive room. If first class looked amazing, than you should look at this place. It was incredible for relaxing.
Unfortunately, it was Chris's quarters, which were off limits.
"Oh Chris, I heart your limits.", Sierra told the host.
Ezekiel was pretty confused about why she said heart as a verb and didn't just say love.
The host and the contestants were back in the dinning area.
"And that's pretty much it,", Chris concluded, "I skipped the cargo hold and galley, but I'm sure you'll find those exciting destinations later when I 'accidentally' lock you in them."
Suddenly, there was some turbulence. That caused Bridgette to fall off her seat and to Alejandro's arms.
"Señorita, are you okay?"
"Is the earth moving?", Bridgette asked in an obviously lovestruck tone.
Ezekiel didn't like what happened. Not only did he know that Alejandro was just using her to get further in the game, but the homeschooled boy was still crushing on the surfer.
"Nope, we are! Whoo!", Izzy answered Bridgette's question.
"One more thing!", Chris remembered, "I'm sure you remember a little something called the elimination ceremony, takes place right in there my friends.", he pointed behind him.
They were at the tropical themed place where the elimination ceremonies take place. Ezekiel decided to be much further from the door this time. The tropical theme made the prairie boy think if the decoration was a way of hinting at the finale's location.
Chris explained how the ceremonies would go.
"If you don't receive a barf bag full of airline issue peanuts you'll be forced to take the Drop of Shame."
The contestants were back at the dinning area, sitting at the tables. Ezekiel was happy that he wasn't thrown out of the door. In the table opposite to his, he could see DJ missing his mother and Sierra being creepy over Cody. Suddenly, he heard a familiar ding ding.
The lights dimmed out as a spotlight shined on Chris McLean. He was wearing a tuxedo and a hat and was holding a cane of sorts. He took off his hat and posed.
"Whenever you hear that friendly little bell,", Chris explained, "it's musical number time! Now let's hear it."
"But what are we supposed to sing?", Courtney asked.
"You have to make it up as you go. Wouldn't be challenging otherwise, would it?", Chris told the contestants, with a malicious look.
Ezekiel decided he wouldn't be singing his solo part this time. He decided to just go with what other people were singing.

(Come Fly With Us ends)
To the contestants' dismay, Chris wasn't paying attention. They had worked their butts off to make that song (or in Ezekiel's case, just singing it), and the host was reading a newspaper instead of actually listening.
Chef's voice blared from the plane's speakers.
"Enough singing pro-capes, strap your selves in, we are now beginning on into Egypt. Musical numbers, worst idea ever, Chris is such an idi-", Chris gasped at this, and at the same time, Chef noticed something, "Hey, why is the P.A. light still on? Oh sh-"
Chris, being extremely annoyed, said they'd be right back.
Ezekiel used this time to compliment Bridgette.
"You're a very good singer, eh!"
"Thanks!", she thanked him.
Alejandro raised an eyebrow at this, wondering if he could use their interactions to his advantage.
As the plane started to land on Egypt, Ezekiel realized this was the moment where he would see if it was worth it being thrown through that portal.
(And CUT)
Hope you liked this first chapter. Things will get more interesting later on.
The story will be mostly focused on Ezekiel, so a lot of stuff that was on the show won't be in this fic. This means that confessionals won't appear, as Ezekiel doesn't use them all that much. The bathroom where the confessionals are made will be used, though.
Leave a review if you want to tell me what you think and follow the story so you can read the chapters as soon as they come out!
