Ch 1

Heather's Pov

The plane ride was really awkward. There were both old and new cast members that I have to now deal with. The old cast members were Courtney, Duncan, Leshawna, Noah, Justin, Katie, and me. The new cast members were Zoey, Dakota, Camoren, Brick, Lighting, Scott, Anna-Marie, and Jo. I sat at the very end of the plane. Being bored out of my mind, I looked out the window and all I saw was water. Now bored with that, I looked around the plane. It was a bit weird that there were only fifteen contestants.

I then saw the Zoey girl comes over to me. "Hi.", she said.

"Hi.", I said bluntly, clearly not wanting to talk.

"You okay?" she asked with genuine concern.

"Huh?", I replied. This was one of the rare times that someone truly cared or was concerned about me.

"You know… With Alejandro and all."

My eyes widen, "Wha-?" Sure I do think about him sometimes. And sometimes is every single day. He never called or texted me. I tried to get some information on his whereabouts but I only got dead ends. I'm pretty sure that he is dead. And it's my fault. All I have to remember what he kinda looked like is... her.

"No, I'm really not. I haven't heard from him in almost two years!"

"Didn't you go see him after World Tour?" she asked.

I sighed, "No. In all honesty, I think he's dead… and it's all my fault. I pushed him and he went into that fucking volcano…"

Her eyes widen, "That was not your fault. How the heck would have you planned all that?"

"I didn't. But it happened and he's dead. He should be here. Not in a grave." I sighed in defeat.

Before we could say anything more, someone pointed out that we were right above the new island. The island was a lot bigger than the last one, and a lot less toxic. Then Chef came out and told us that we were going to jump off the plane. All the newbies looked scared while the older cast looked almost numb. As for me, the memories for World Tour came back to me like a flood. And so did the guilt.

Anne-Marie was first to jump. "Oh no! Do you have any idea how long it took me to do my hair?!", she yelled at Chef who was carrying her to the edge of the plane. Then he dropped her. Luckily there is a body of water for us to land in.

Then it was Brick. He didn't put up much of a fight as Anne-Marie did.

Cameron just screamed.

Dakota didn't care and did it herself.

Jo picked a fight and it took most of the guys to get her off the plane.

Lightning, being the show off that he is, did it himself and landed on his stomach. Ouch.

Scott wasn't having it. He still has his fear of sharks. And eventually, we threw him out of the plane.

Zoey jumped and dove.

Now it was the old cast. Courtney was the worst of them all.

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS! THIS ISN'T IN THE CONTRACT!" The chef got a black eye from Courtney.

Duncan went next. He was just not impressed.

Then it was me. I looked down and saw the people who already jumped. I took a deep breath and jumped. For one moment I thought I was dreaming. I almost felt at peace. Then I hit the water. I swam up to the surface and looked around. Then I remembered that I was on Total Drama.

Then it was Leshawna, Justin, Katie, and Noah that jumped out of the plane. We swam to the island and waited for further information.

Courtney sighed, "I forgot how intense this game is."

Katie nodded, " It's weird being back. And with the newbies too."

"Hey!", protested Jo, " We're probably better than you guys!"

"Wanna go flat ass!?", yelled Leshawna.

"Guys", I interrupted, "This isn't the time to do this. Let's just force on the game and nothing else. Okay?"

"Wow that was really mature, Heather.", said Courtney who was truly shocked.

Then the devil himself walked over followed by a robot.

"Welcome victims! I mean contestants!", said Chris.

Duncan rolled his eyes, "I see you replaced Chef with a robot. Bravo."

Chris ignored Duncan "On this season of total drama, we brought back the fan favorites of the last 4 seasons. And your teams will be Heroes vs Villains! On the Heroes team will be Brick, Cameron, Dakota, Leshawna, Justin Katie, Noah, and Zoey!"

"How come I'm on the same team?!", protested Justin.

Chris just shrugged, "And on the Villains team is Anne-Marie, Courtney, Duncan, Heather, Jo, Lightning, and Scott!"

Joe yelled, "Wait a minute! They have eight and we only have seven!"

"Fine,", started Chris, " you guys take the robot."

The robot came over to our side and station itself right by me. I stepped away and it followed me.

"Wow, that robot really likes you, Heather. Maybe we should rename it Alejandro 3,000.", stated Leshawna. Everyone laughed at my embarrassment.

"Great…", I signed.

"Your first challenge," began Chris, "is to find the key to the luxury hotel.''

He then showed us the hotel. It was pretty small. But it looked better than the cabins. There is no way my team is going to the cabins. I've been through that hell long enough.

Chris continued, "The key to the hotel is at the bottom of the lake, along with other keys. One person per team may go down and find a key. After finding a key you will be pushed by another teammate while riding a baby cart." he then pointed to two baby carts. "If the key doesn't fit, you have to come back and have a different teammate dive for a key."

"That doesn't sound too hard," Katie said.

Chris laughed, "Oh and the lake is shark-infested."

"SHARKS?!", everyone yelled.

Chris walked away heading for the lake and everyone else followed. I walked at the end of the crowd with Zoey. For some reason, I can find myself talking with Zoey.

"To be honest," I started, "this place is absolutely beautiful."

Zoey nodded, "Yeah it is. It totally shows Canada's true beauty."

I laughed, "Pun intended?"

She looked confused for a moment. Then she laughed, "I didn't mean for that."

We continued walking. Right before we made it to the lake, the robot came over to me. I walked away and it started to follow me again. I then grabbed a stick and threw it at the robot. Finally, the robot went away.

We got to the lake and started to make a game plan.

"Clearly I'll be pushing the cart," said Jo.

"Sha-Nah," began Lighting, "Sha-Lighting will be doing the pushing Joseph."

I rolled my eyes, " You two can rock paper scissors for it."

They did and Jo won.

There was a cliff where we had to jump. Fun, more jumping. Chris did his little introduction then blew the air horn. We did it several times and no luck. I did it once and that was no good. And the worst part of this is that our team had only seven actual humans and one super annoying robot. Then it was Scott's turn and he had selachophobia or the fear of sharks. And honestly, I don't blame him, after the hell he went through last year.

"C' mon man!", yelled Duncan.

Poor Scott was hugging onto a boulder and was shaking for dear life. "NO!", Scott yelled back.

Duncan shook his head, "Scott you have to go. I don't think the robot is waterproof."

Lighting cracked his neck, " Sha-Lighting gots this."

Then the two men started pulling Scott off the rock. Then Courtney help, then Anne-Marie. I was about to help then they got him off the rock, but Lighting lost his balance and hit the robot. Then the robot started rolling backward and fell off the cliff.

"Shit." Lighting cussed.

I crossed my arms, "That'll cost a pretty penny to replace."

Courtney sighed, "And right back to seven teammates."

Duncan was about to throw Scott into the lake when a loud noise happened.

"What was that?", asked Leshawna.

"I think one of the sharks got to the robot.", replied Brick.

Then we saw a body jump out of the water.

"Who the-?", began Justin.

We got a closer look at the person and two emerald orbs stared at us and then the body fell.

"Oh my god.", said Courtney.

"It can't be." Noah followed along.

"It's Alejandro…" Duncan finished

I just stared off into nothingness. He's alive. He was in that robot. How?!

The challenge was put on hold even though Chris was yelling at us to continue. All of us pretty much ran down to see if he was okay. When we got to the bottom, we saw that Alejandro was laying on his back almost unconscious.

"How did he survive in that robot?!", asked Cameron.

"He needs to get out of the elements.", I said sternly.

"Are you a doctor?", asked Dakota.

I signed, "Working on it."

I then saw he had a key in his hand. I don't know how he got one. I kinda woke him up and made sure he was conscious enough to put the key in. I think he thought I was someone else, which I'm fine with right now. I'm just praying that the key he has is the right one. For his sake.

Duncan and I tried to stand Alejandro up so he could walk. He was too weak to even stand. I had Lighting help us put Alejandro into the baby cart then Jo pushed off with him.

We went back up the cliff and continued the challenge.

Maybe five minutes later we see only Jo come back and she starts yelling that the key Alejandro had was the right one. The Villains celebrated and the Heroes pouted. We walked back to the new campsite.

The Villains went inside the hotel but I decided to walk around. After some time passed, I found a little pond and I sat by it. I started to think to myself. Why did I come back? I could be doing something worth doing. Oh right. I have a medical bill that I've been trying to pay off. And I feel that I need the money more than ever before. What am I going to do? I know everyone hates me. Okay, maybe not Zoey.

As I was pondering on life, I felt someone tapping me on the shoulder. I looked behind me and saw Courtney.

"Can I help you?" I asked.

She shook her head and sat down by me. "No no really. Why did you run off? Everyone's eating right now. Aren't you hungry too?"

I laid down "Yes I am. But I don't want to face him. I know he hates my guts."

"Alejandro's asleep. Jo told me he passed out on the couch when she helped him inside." Courtney replied.

"Really? Well, I don't want to even look at him. Too many memories I want to forget but just can't. And after all the things I did to him, he won't forgive me. And I don't blame him."

"Things?", asked Courtney.

I rolled my eyes, "You already know about the volcano. Can you keep a secret?"

"Sure."

"Let's just say, being on a plane all the time is pretty boring. So at the very end of the World Tour… Alejandro and I found some fun in each other." I blushed.

Courtney stared at me, "So you two had sex?"

"Yeah," I continued, "I thought nothing of it. Zero protection. I lost my virginity. But truly being honest, I don't think I would want to lose it to anyone else. Sappy I know. So after the World Tour, I found out I was pregnant. And obviously, Alejandro is the father."

"Whoa.", Courtney replied.

"Yeah. So after nine months of pure hell, my little girl, Allison, was born. But she had kidney problems and had to have surgery when she was six weeks old. She's fine now, but she does need to have treatments every once and awhile."

Courtney sighed, "Wow. I have no words. Honestly, I can't hate it. Before Duncan cheated on me with Gwen, we had sex like twice. Then I got pregnant too. I have a son named Corey."

I smiled slightly, "Cute name."

"Yeah. It's kinda weird that we're having a civil conversation. But it's nice. We better get back. The Heroes team has to eliminate someone."

I got up, "Yeah. Let's go."

We walked back to the hotel and went inside. The place was pretty nice. Clean and organized. I looked over to the couch and saw that Alejandro was still asleep. I grabbed something small to eat and went to my room to get unpacked for the night. Afterward, I walked around the hotel. They had a lot. A sauna, a hot tube, and a massage place. Courtney came and told me that it's time to go and see who will get eliminated. I fixed my hair and went out with Courtney, not bothering to wake up Alejandro.

There was a bench with a peanut on it. Chris told us to sit there. It was apparently the peanut gallery. Lovely.

Then the cameras came back on and I had made it look like I didn't want to be here. And I really didn't.

Chris started telling the Heroes who are safe. Katie, Dakota, Cameron, Zoey, Brick, Leshawna, were all safe. But Noah didn't run nor pushed fast enough with the cart. And Justin was just not doing anything other than being a show-off.

"And the person that is safe is…" Chris paused, "Noah."

Shocker there. At least he did fucking something.

This year's way of going home was a giant toilet. Sometimes I think Chris is running out of ideas of ways to sent losers home. At least it isn't a cannon.

So Justin went home and everyone else went back to the hotel/cabin to get some sleep.

Courtney and I went inside and saw that Alejandro wasn't there anymore. He might've gone to his room to get some more sleep. Everyone went to bed while I stayed out to get a cup of water. I sat on the couch and drank my water. Five minutes later I put the cup in the sink and went to bed. Tomorrow should be something else.
