Yeah, sorry that this kinda came a tad late. Stuff came up, which more or less delayed this chapter a bit. Here's hoping I can finally get to the swing of things soon! Anyways, hope you enjoy this part of the episode.
The hunt… Is on.
Chris is standing on the Dock Of Shame, sporting his signature grin. The sun has since set, as the moon was shining above him.
"Last time, on Total Drama Dictionary..."
"22 teens and 4 tweens, each representing a letter of the alphabet and coming from all walks of life, arrived here on Isle Duplicare! It may resemble Camp Wawanakwa, but it is by far more original and superior to the previous camp we all know and love. While some campers hit it off straight away, some other campers were outright sour. The first challenge was to find Christmas presents, which were supposed to be delivered by the jolly elf himself, but… Anyways, the campers were able to find most of them, even in some unexpected places, and at the end, it was revealed they were their team's markers. Now that the teams are truly formed, the game can truly begin."
"What awaits these 26 campers, now that they're in their respective team? Well, stay tuned and find out, right here! On..."
"Total!"
"Drama!"
"Dictionary!"
Cue I Wanna Be Famous
The skies were as dark as it could get, with the stars shining above. The moon was the only source of light illuminating the island far from camp, as three figures were walking along the island. They had their belongings in their bags, strapped on their back.
"Sooooo… Where are we even going?" Isaac, one of the figures asked.
"Ahh, thought you would never ask, Test Subject!" Alec, the second of the figures answered back. "We're gonna find ourselves a proper laboratory! You see… With three additional males on our team, the chances of them using our SCIENCE against us rises by an astonishing 500%!"
Nerdi, the third figure, blinked a bit. "You doooooooo know that other than you guys, the last three are some weeb, some freaked out guy, and someone who I quite can't put my finger on, meow. They're completely harmless, meow."
"Well, last time I trusted someone with my experiments..." Alec responded back, before shuddering. "...Let's just say my last lab partner was a real piece of work. He done some stuff beyond the realm of SCIENCE that I find truly disturbing. I ain't making that mistake ever again."
Isaac looked at Alec. "...Why me?"
"Why not you? You're a fresh and trusting face, and someone who wouldn't use SCIENCE for evil purposes." Alec answered back proudly. "Maxwell's too much of a goofball, Quinn would freak out, and I don't know about you, but I don't entirely trust Ulysses. And the girls, while cute and all… Would you trust Omelette with a potion which could make your butt look bigger? You're basically the most normal of our team."
"Umm, you do know that we first met in that ship's hold. And we both were on boat A-M." Isaac reminded back. "You declared me your Test Subject right off the bat right then and there."
"Ahh, you're right." Alec nodded. "Now… Where's the perfect laboratory..."
Confessional: The right lab? It's where the heart is~! Cheesy, I know…
Alec: We would had tried one of the caves, but it was marked off by some police tape drawn on by marker. What kinda stuff happened there?
Isaac: -Nerdi is standing next to him- The reason I'm hanging with Alec? Well… I don't do well with a group of people, and while I would rather remain alone… It's best to be with someone. Strength in numbers, after all.
Nerdi: -She glares playfully at Isaac- Heeeeeeyyy, who am I, chopped lug-nuts, meow?
Tough Turtles, Boy's Side
Meanwhile, Quinn and Maxwell were sitting back on a sofa in their side of the cabin, all while Ulysses was busy tinkering with something.
"Hehe… So, this Honey kid is actually the oldest Host Club member?" Quinn asked to Maxwell.
"Yep; his birthday is on February 29th, which would also technically make him the youngest member at the same time." Maxwell answered back. "Not to mention that he can really rip you a new one if you mess with him. Or his plush bunny."
"Whoa, that kid?" Quinn asked, as Maxwell nodded back. "Wow, hehe… Remind me to never piss him off."
"You, piss him off? I highly doubt it." Maxwell smiled back. "Now, if you accidentally break an oriental vase of theirs..."
"And tinkering complete!" Ulysses said out loud.
Both Maxwell and Quinn turned to face Ulysses.
"Hehe, what tinkering?" Quinn asked.
"Yeah, what were you even doing while we were watching a Yaoi Fangirl's shipping fantasy come true?" Maxwell also asked.
Ulysses gave off a grin as he held up what he was working on: It resembled a gauntlet of sorts. He placed the gauntlet on himself.
"This baby right here shall enhance my strength. In short, it shall grant me the power of a buffed out gorilla." Ulysses answered back. "You've got anything you were munching on near you to test this puppy out on?"
Maxwell looked around him, and held up an empty jar of peanut butter.
"Will this suffice?" offered Maxwell, as Ulysses grabbed it from him.
"Now… Observe!" Ulysses said towards the two.
He soon, without breaking a sweat, crumbled up the jar of peanut butter until it was just a ball of crumbled up plastic. He soon tossed the ball behind him.
Both Maxwell and Ulysses paled at what Ulysses just pulled off.
"Alright, I don't think Honey can do that, hehe..." Quinn said to Maxwell.
"No, he can't." Maxwell agreed back. "But why enhance your strength, anyway?"
"...Growing up, I was always seen as weak. Powerless. I was picked on and beat up a lot." Ulysses answered back. "Not no more."
He soon got up, and gave a hard glare at… nothing in particular.
"The football team. My tormentors. My dad. The whole entire town. They won't be laughing once I show off this baby towards them on here..." Ulysses said rather coldly.
Maxwell stared at Ulysses, as thus Quinn as well.
"Umm, dude? I wasn't the strongest person in my town too. And I even barely knew my dad before he..." Maxwell stated. "But I highly doubt he would be mad at me for not being all that manly. Besides, Is there anything to even prove?"
"Yeah, hehe…" Ulysses agreed. "Just imagine what that thing could do to a bully..."
Ulysses gave off a sadistic grin to himself, before he shook it off, and looked at his two roommates.
"Sooooo… What you watching?" Ulysses asked.
"Well…" Maxwell began to say, as he was about to explain about his anime he was watching to Ulysses.
Confessional: Man, he seems really sneaky…
Ulysses: It'll be too easy to mow down Maxwell and Quinn. Those two are mere obstacles, standing in the way of scientific achievement. This'll be too easy.
Maxwell: Rule number 1 about Ouran High School Host Club? You don't mess with Honey's bunny. Rule 2? You do NOT mess with Honey's bunny.
Quinn: Hehe… I fear Ulysses' glove will bring about the end of mankind. Just imagine if he grabs several powerful gems and uses them with the glove as well…
Tough Turtles – Girl's Side
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Turtles' Cabin, Yuki was laying on her bed, doing some drawing. She was looking down at the character in question with some thought.
"Hmmm… Should I go for boots for her? Or just plain sneakers?" Yuki said to herself.
"I prefer the boots, myself." Selena suggested, as she leaned against the bunk. She soon looked down at the sketch Yuki was doing. "By the way, great drawing."
"Thanks!" Yuki replied back. "And yeah, I figured she would be a boots person..."
"How about you? What's your stance on proper footwear?" Selena asked.
Yuki looked towards her feet, before she continued to draw.
"Weeeelll… I prefer sandals myself, hon." Yuki answered back, giving off a sweet smile. "You know, give my toes a little wiggle room. How much wiggle room can one do with shoes blocking their toes, anyway?"
Selena took a look at Yuki's feet, and gave off a smile towards the kid.
"You know, a little color would look great on your toenails..." Selena offered. "What you say? I'll let you pick the color..."
Yuki shook her head. "Thanks for the offer, but I rather keep my toenails barren."
"Awww, I was gonna offer all the colors I had on me, too." Selena responded back. "So much for you having rainbow toes..."
"Um, would some of those colors make for some great paint?" Yuki asked.
Selena blinked. "I… wouldn't know. I mean… Who ever thought of painting something using cosmetics?"
"Two year olds?" Yuki asked. "That's what my mom said when I used her lipstick to scribble on the walls once."
Elsewhere in the room, Omelette and Vikki were watching TV, as a few snacks surrounded them. They were watching an old performance of Vikki, when she was a small child. Currently, Vikki's face was barren from her clown make-up, save for a few faded pink heart markings on her cheeks.
"So, give it to me straight… You were actually a circus star?" Omelette asked.
"You betchya, my fun-lovin' pal!" Vikki answered back. "It's where I knew all the ins and outs of clowning and of being a clown at that. Even when the circus closed its doors a couple years ago, I still kept to my roots at that."
"Always a clown beyond the end, huh?" Omelette said, giving off a smile as she cracked open a soda. "So, since you said the circus closed… What do you do now?"
Vikki smiled, as she soon reached into her hat and pulled something out...
HONKA HONKA
The sound of a clown horn Vikki pulled out from her hat squeaked throughout the room, with confetti and a business card coming out of it. It also scared Selena as well.
"Hey! Don't you mind?! Me and Yuki are trying to have a conversation, here!" Selena scolded the clown girl.
Vikki scratched her head, blushing in embarrassment. "Heh. Sorry, Selena."
The business card soon landed upon Omelette's lap. It appeared to look really colorful. She picked it up and read it out loud.
"FunnyTime Entertainment?" Omelette asked.
"It was once Give Ya A Fun Time Entertainment, but..." Vikki answered back, giggling as she scratched the back of her head. "My dad had to explain that kinda business name… May not be appropriate with my younger target demographic."
"So, you do parties and such?" Omelette questioned. "Like for kids and such?"
Vikki nodded back. "You betchya; I always had a soft spot for kids, and I knew I could cheer them up, or at least, make them laugh."
"Which is always good." Omelette smiled back, as another thought hit her. "Came across any Entitled Parents?"
"Eh, only a few." Vikki answered back, shrugging. "But I did learn how to defend myself from those pieces of sauerkraut. Even if I do have to slam a bit of whipped cream in their faces."
"Quite a fitting punishment if I say so, myself..." Omelette said, sporting a grin.
Vikki smiled back, as she inched closer to Omelette.
"Spoiler warning: The whipped cream's not gluten free."
Omelette's eyes went wide as saucers behind her shades, as she continued to grin.
"Oooohh, you're quite the demon, aren't ya?" Omelette asked.
"Hey, if I get to destroy their 30 dollar hair-do after they pushed my buttons, then so be it." Vikki replied back, giving off a smile.
Confessional: Destroy them all! Destroy them all! ...I'll take the chicken!
Vikki: Yeah, I rarely use my clowning to get revenge on someone. The worst offender? Some religious nut, who tried to get me excommunicated! Thankfully, her ex apologized for her behavior. And got custody of the kids… I say that's a win?
Omelette: Eh, what's the deal with gluten anyways? I see no prob with that stuff. Those nutritious nutballs should just sit back and rellllllaaaaxxxx…
Yuki: You know… I love a good challenge. Maybe I outta paint something with nail polish one day? Though… The stench from the polish… Ack!
Selena: If I wanna survive on here, I should get myself an ally. And why not start with Yuki? Just become more of an older sis to her… Then when it's time… Backstab her! -She gives off a devious grin- This'll work out well.
Meanwhile, the trio of Alec, Isaac, and Nerdi were standing outside the front door to the boathouse. Or at least Alec and Isaac were, while Nerdi was busy trying to pick the lock keeping the boathouse sealed shut.
"Ahhhhh, here it is, Test Subject. Our laboratory for which we shall conduct SCIENCE!" Alec announced out loud. "Or it will be shortly, once your cat friend unlocks the door."
"Why choose this place, exactly?" Isaac asked.
"Well, who else would wanna sleep in there, anyway?" Alec answered back. "It's filled with all sorts of horrors. Many of which may be unsuitable for your peepers. Viewer description advised."
"Again, I only got up to the episode where that girl with the glasses left… Beth, was it?" Isaac asked. "Yeah, after Heather squeezed through again, I turned it off. Besides, it was bedtime, and I wanted to be well-rested. Although for someone…"
He gave off a sly smirk to Nerdi, as she was still trying to pick the lock.
"She decided to watch a few episodes of Ouran before bed." Isaac admitted. "No wonder I had dreams of an exclusive and expensive Host Club offering me cake."
Alec looked at both Isaac and at Nerdi. "Wow, sorry to hear your dreams were some yaoi fancat's fantasy…"
"Hey! I heard that, meow!" Nerdi shouted back. "I haven't written any yaoi in a week… Ish!"
Alec raised an eyebrow, as Isaac looked towards Alec. "It's true, ya know… She appointed me as her proof-reader."
Soon, a lock was hurled towards the two male's feet, as Nerdi grinned, opening the door.
"Chez Boathouse is open, meow…" Nerdi said, as she entered the boathouse, and turned the lights on.
The interior of the boathouse really fit the mood. There were all sorts of sharp instruments lining the walls, from spears to sickles. Some canoes also lined the walls, as thus a few oars as well. There also appeared to be a couple of cots inside, in addition to a few large tables as well.
"Gee… Talk about your fixer-uppers…" Isaac noted.
"Yeah, welcome to Tetanus City, meow." Nerdi agreed. "Speaking of which, are you up with your vaccinations, Alec?"
Alec, however, started to laugh maniacally.
"MWAHAHAHAHA! This is PERFECT for our SCIENTIFIC ENDEAVORS, Test Subject!" Alec cheered, as he looked down at Nerdi. "Good work undoing the lock, kitty."
"Another minute, and I would had to break out… I dunno, some kinda acid or something." Nerdi responded back, before glaring at Alec. "And don't call me kitty, meow!"
The three soon got their cots set up, as Isaac slid a crate close to his, and took out a framed photo and set it at the side of his bed. He looked at the pic with a forelorn expression on his face.
"Betty…" Isaac sighed. "Why did you have to… If I haven't went to that prom…"
"Sooooo… Who's the girl?" Alec asked, noticing the picture.
Isaac was alarmed as he looked at Alec. "Oh, just an old friend. Anyways, what kinda experiments are we gonna do? Invisibility? Frost breath? Bringing imaginary friends to life?"
Alec grinned. "Ooooohhh… More than that, Test Subject..."
Screaming Squids, Boy's Side
In the cabin, Xane was busy reading a catalog, with his plant on the table next to his bed.
"Wooooo, look at this." Xane said to his plant, as he showed it a pic. "You think I look good with that piece?"
Meanwhile, the other four boys were discussing on something.
"So, there's only four beds… Meaning, one of us has to share a bed." Danny stated. "And it ain't gonna be me; whatta think I am, some pansy?"
"Well, one of us can always share one with Xane. I mean, he wouldn't mind. Probably." Ross interjected. "Look at him; he's reading a bedtime story to his plant."
Xane looked at Ross. "Um, it's a catalog on gardening equipment. I was only showing her a watering can."
Ross blinked. "...Plants have genders?"
"Anyways, one of us is sleeping with him, no questions asked." Danny finished.
Xane, hearing that, scooted over to the wall.
"See, he's already agreeing with the idea." Danny said out loud. "That plant lovin' bum's probably enjoying this sausage fest of this cabin."
"Guys… We have a couch." Peter deadpanned towards the group, pointing to the couch in the room. "Maybe one of us can crash on it, instead?"
Zero grumbled, as he stepped towards the door.
"As always, there's strife. We're closer and closer to our certain extinction." Zero stated towards everyone, as they looked at him. "Enjoy sending yourselves to your early graves."
He soon left the cabin, closing the door behind him.
"What's up with him?" Danny asked.
"Nevermind that; he's an edgelord, anyway." Peter shrugged back. "Either case, I'm taking the couch. Ya know… Bite the bullet and such. I do that all the time in CoD."
He looked at his bandaged thumb, and grumbled.
"Once my thumb heals… I'm wiping the floor with you, Tina." Peter said, sporting a slight grin.
With Ross, he walked over to Xane, and leaned against his bunk.
"Umm… Xane, right?" Ross asked, as Xane looked up. "You aren't kidding that plants have genders, right?"
Xane nodded back. "Hoooo, if you want to know anything about plants, I'm your man… Did you know that cannabis can only be male?"
"Dude. That's drugs, right?" Ross asked, blinking a bit. "Do you smoke that stuff? With your personality, you probably do. So, do you?"
Xane shook his head. "Naaaaahhh… I may have the attitude of some stoner, but I don't do drugs, hooooo..."
"I thought you probably would had." Ross responded to Xane.
"I rather plant to help our planet, hooooo..." Xane said out loud. "It's the only one we've got. That, and we were born too early for far out space travel."
"Which royally sucks..." Ross pouted back. "I would had scored you an alien boyfriend."
"Ummmmm… I've got a girlfriend back at home." Xane giggled back.
"Wait, really?" Ross asked. "Cause, I could had swore you were… You know."
"Hoooooo… Even though I may be into flowers and gardening, I am indeed into girls." Xane responded back, smiling.
"Ahh, alright." Ross said, before he smiled. "You do know I have a Gaydar installed on this thing, don't ya?"
Xane blushed brightly. "Ummm… Errr… Yeah, let's go for that."
Confessional: That won't stop the Yaoi shippers, though~!
Xane: Hooo, if any of the boys wants a girl, I do have a lot in my horticulture class… You think anyone would be interested in Zero? Are bad boys still in, hoo-hoo?
Ross: Hey, what girl wouldn't resist Xane's charms? He's tall, handsome, sweet… He's like the romantic interest in many a mother's romance novel! (He blinks a bit) Umm… Not like I read that stuff when I'm not trying to find aliens! Nope!
Peter: I should really plan on how to beat that Nintendo lovin' nut tomorrow...
Danny: (He is holding a book) Swiped this from Ross' bag. (He reads the title) What the hell is this 'Passions of a Well Done Cauliflower'?
Far from camp, Zero walked through the forest, as he noticed a family of bunnies just hanging out. The bunnies soon looked over at Zero.
Zero's seemingly permanent scowl soon disappeared, as a soft smile grew on his face. He soon dug into his pockets and pulled out some veggies.
"You guys hungry?" Zero asked, offering the veggies to the bunnies. They approached Zero with some caution before noticing he wasn't harboring any threat.
"At least you guys aren't as evil as the human race." Zero continued. "All they care about is war and money. Doesn't matter, though. We'll wipe ourselves out soon enough anyway. Then this planet is yours to roam around as you wish."
One of the rabbits looked up at Zero in concern.
"Don't worry about me; as long as the animals are safe, that's all that matters." Zero said towards the rabbit, as he pet it. "And even if I win, I'll still find a way to keep you guys safe, after the end does come and the human species is deservely erased from history."
He continued to feed the rabbits some more veggies, as he sighed.
"If only you met me six years ago, while I was more cheerful… Back when I trusted humans…" Zero lamented.
He soon looked up at the sky.
"Damn you, dad… Damn you and your Dugar following ways..."
Screaming Squids, Girl's Side
The four girls were currently busy readying themselves for bed. Tina was busy playing on her Switch, Hannah was busy scribbling on some paper, Luka was watching something on her laptop, and Whitney was busy reading a magazine while eating some chips. Soon, she dropped a chip and climbed down the bunk just to grab the chip and eat it.
"Um, that chip fell on the floor…" Tina said, not looking up from her game.
"5 second rule~!" Whitney sung out, as she was about to reclimb her bunk, when she glanced over at Luka, who was in a sleeveless shirt. Part of her upper back was exposed, showing off what appeared to be a tattoo of a sea turtle etched upon it. She soon climbed back down. "Saaaaayyy… That's some pretty wicked skinart of a sea turtle you got there, Luka!"
Luka looked over at Whitney, and smiled. "Ah, thanks. Scored me that when I got my snakebite piercings… As well as a couple more ear piercings. And I've got a ton more awesome inkworks done."
"Ah, cool!" Hannah beamed, looking from her sketchbook. "Can we see?"
Luka nodded, as she turned around and lifted up her jammy shirt, revealing a tattoo of a dolphin on her lower back. She soon lifted both of her pajama pants legs up, revealing an iguana hugging a lollipop on her left leg, and a peace sign resembling a paw print on her right ankle.
"Ah, cool!" Hannah grinned. "Man, I can't wait until I'm old enough to get inked! Most of my fam is already inked up, and I wanna follow in their footsteps!"
Luka smiled at the kid. "You'll get there one day, kiddo. And I bet, you'll be sporting the most awesomest of ink of them all."
Hannah beamed at that, as Whitney cleared her throat, sporting a wide grin.
"I also got a tattoo, too! It's embedded directly on my right butt cheek! Wanna see?" Whitney offered, as she started to lower her jammie shorts.
"No-no-no! No!" Luka, Tina, and Hannah both protested back, as she pulled her shorts back up.
"While we're on the subject… Tina? You did mention you had a tattoo, too?" Luka asked.
Tina smiled, as she lifted her shirt to reveal a Jigglypuff, wearing a flower in her hair and singing a song, inked on the right side of her upper back.
"I got it done to hide a scar I received protecting someone." Tina explained, as she grinned. "And… To be honest, I kinda want more."
"Yeah, getting tattooed would do that to you." Luka replied back. "You go in for one, and before you know it, your entire arm's covered in ink years later."
"Although, strange thing… It didn't hurt too much to get it done." Tina continued. "I thought it would be torture, and would sting a lot but it actually didn't."
"Try explaining that to my dad; when he got his first, he was whimpering in pain near the end." Hannah said, smirking. "Course, that's what mom said to me; I was just a glint in his eye at the time."
"Us gals are made of some more tougher stuff than the dudes! Are we right, or are we right?" Whitney asked out loud.
"You betchya!" Hannah grinned back towards Whitney.
Confessional: Can we imagine how Whitney would fare against Eva?
Whitney: For the record, it was a blue rose inked on my posterior.
Luka: I wouldn't know about that, Whitney~! My old man? He once got close to a lion. A female lion. And they're usually the hunters out there on the prairie.
Tina: Isn't it ironic that we're called the Squids, and all of us have some ink on us? With Hannah wanting to get inked up in the future?
Hannah: As for what I'm drawing? Well, it's future tattoo plans! -She holds up a pic, which looked to be rather amateurish.- ...Yeah, I may wanna ask Yuki for art lessons, or have her draw up my future inkwork. Those things are gonna be on my bod forever eventually, and I rather not wanna have my crappy art on my body then. Forever's a very long time, my dudes!
Funky Flounders, Boy's Side
Jonah was standing outside his side of the cabin, with his camera close to his face.
"Yooooooo, bitches! It's ya main boi Jonah here, wrapping up his first day on Total Drama Dictionary!" Jonah announced out loud. "And it looks like yours truly lucked out, cause this boi right here's got the finest of ladies on his team! However, as for the men…"
He opened his cabin door to see Bob working on Frankie's sock puppet, and both Ethan and Frankie on the couch, watching TV. He soon turned his camera back to his mug and walked back in.
"Well… At least ya main boi has elimination fodder? Yours truly shall top them soon enough." Jonah grinned to his 'audience'. "Like, comment, and subscribe if you agree, bitches!"
He pointed the camera at Bob, as Jonah gave off a smirk.
"So, what would be your favorite moment of mine? You have permission to say all of them." Jonah said towards Bob.
He looked up at Jonah. "Did you get banned for a year from the Netherlands after that 2am prank involving a Formula One race car?"
Jonah shrugged. "Hey, a President was staying over there for some vacay. Sooooo, I decided to wake up his stuffed up life."
Bob blinked. "You woke the President up?"
"Not the president, a President." Jonah answered back. "It could be any President. Anyways, got arrested, and banned for a year. Whatever, I'm from America, where bullying is encouraged and legal. Yeah, eat it, Canada! Our country rules, so you can just go SUCK IT!"
"...Yeah, keep on digging that grave of yours, buddy." Bob responded, as he went back to touching up Frankie's sock puppet.
As for Frankie, he was sitting alongside Ethan, who was watching some cartoons on TV.
"So, what cartoons do you usually watch?" Ethan asked Frankie.
Frankie looked at Ethan silently. "...I don't?"
Ethan's eyes went wide. "You… don't?"
Frankie shook his head. "...Can't. TV is always occupied..."
"Really? Dang." Ethan said. "Then… You wanna watch something that is a cartoon?"
"...Is that what we're doing right now?" Frankie asked.
"Okay! Then, how about-" Ethan began to offer, as…
"GET OUTTA MY ROOM, YOU PHEASANTS! OR I'M TELLING MY DADDY!" A voice shouted out loud, alarming the boys.
Everyone was soon looking at each other.
"Was that Gabriella?" Bob asked. "Geez, what kinda beef does she have with the girls next door?"
"You think she even likes beef?" Ethan asked.
"Whatta think? Someone as attractive as her can afford all the beef she wants." Jonah smirked back.
Bob noticed a half-full glass full of a beverage from nearby, and snatched it up.
"I'm gonna listen in, see what's up." Bob said, as he downed the entire beverage down whole, and soon started coughing. "Oof, went down the COUGH wrong pipe…"
Once Bob recovered, he held the glass up to the adjacent wall, as his roommates got closer to him.
"So, what's going on?" Ethan asked.
"Sssshh..." Bob shushed Ethan back.
The four boys stayed silent, until Bob took his ear away from the glass.
"Guys..." Bob said, as he looked at his fellow teammates. "She's kicking out Candace, Kayley, and Nancy from their room. Says that they deserve to sleep in the dirt."
"Dang, really?" Ethan asked. "Cause last time I heard, laying down on dirt feels really uncomfortable. Tons of small rocks and minerals."
"Kid, when did that happen?" Jonah asked the young kid.
Soon, the door was kicked open, revealing Gabriella as she pointed at Frankie.
Frankie gulped in pure fear.
"Servant! Come at once!" Gabriella ordered. "Or… I'm telling you know who!"
Frankie uneasily got up, as he walked over to Gabriella, as the brat soon glared at Bob.
"And you… You better stop spying on my private conversations, or I will make sure you're sleeping in the streets for the rest of your natural life. I can see you undressing myself with your eyes… Perverted freak." Gabriella sneered, as she forcefully pulled Frankie out of the room and slammed the door behind her, with a random picture frame falling in the process.
"You wish; that honor belongs to Daisy from the Mario series!" Bob responded back.
"Isn't that TMI, Bob?" Ethan asked, giggling a bit.
Bob blushed a bit. "Anyways..."
He looked at the sock on his bed.
"Mayhaps I should make this sock extra special to the best of my abilities..." Bob said, giving off a smile. "This'll be one awesome challenge..."
Confessional: At least that challenge won't get you booted?
Bob: (He holds up his hands, with his fingertips bandaged up.) Yeah, while sewing up stuff is a strong suit... Not trying to get picked by a needle kinda... Isn't.
Ethan: Yeah, I'm just glad we aren't sleeping in a tent. Cause last time my family went camping? ...Not a pleasant experience.
Jonah: Daisy? Boy, you're wrong with who's the hottest game character. That honor belongs to Airheart from Fortnite! Yeah, you know; the hottest and bestest game EVAR! All other games can't hold a candle to Fortnite! Call Of Duty? That game's for BABIES. HELL YEAH! (He flexes his muscles, as he gave off a grin to the camera.)
Funky Flounders – Kayley, Candace, Nancy
Candace, Kayley, and Nancy were standing outside their cabin, having been tossed out by Gabriella, along with their belongings.
"Jeepers, what crawled up her butt?" Candace asked the girls.
"I dunno, but don't hold it against me if I suddenly decide to throw tomorrow's challenge for the chance for us to vote her off." Nancy said out loud, feeling annoyed.
"Nah, you shouldn't go that far." Kayley replied back, trying to calm Nancy down. "The Goddesses shall smile upon us eventually. And then we can smite her from the show…"
"And if that fails…" Nancy continued. "You wanna raise the dead, and scare her? You're the resident witch girl around here..."
Kayley was about to say something, when suddenly, a Gator vehicle stopped near the girls, as its occupant Dana stepped out and approached them. She sighed disappointedly.
"I just knew this would happen." Dana said sincerely. "Sorry you guys got tossed out; Gabriella can be a bit of a handful to work with."
"Boy, I'll say. She's forcing Frankie to massage her feet as we speak… And God knows what OTHER tortures awaits the poor guy." Nancy agreed.
"Then, why just reject her before the show?" Candace asked. "Just let some other person rep the letter G?"
"Blame her dad; he's basically a Xazillionaire… Is that even an actual number? The dude's like, too powerful, so to not risk it, we decided to accept her." Dana questioned to herself, as she reached to the back of her Gator and pulled out a rolled up yellow bag. "Anyways, I don't want anyone sleeping out in the cold without any shelter, so I'm giving you gals a tent. It should be large enough for you three."
"Well, it totally beats sleeping in the trees; who knows what kinda nature awaits up there." Candace said, accepting the tent.
"Eh, just owls and bats and stuff." Kayley predicted.
"Think it would give us our invites to Hogwarts?" Candace asked.
"I highly doubt it, Candace… And besides, I quit reading Harry Potter after I heard some stuff about its author which… Kinda rubbed me the wrong way." Dana answered back.
"And that's why I stick to The Hunger Games. Sure, your fave tribute will die a really bloody death, but at least its author isn't a bag of bones." Nancy said out loud.
"Anyways, I should also give you all sleeping bags. I've got three of them, right here!" Dana continued, as she looked in the back. "What the…"
She lept onto the back of the Gator, as she started to shoo away a wild animal whom stowed away. It ran off into the night. She soon kneeled down, and found pieces of what remained of a sleeping bag. She cursed under her breath.
"Umm… Judging by that MA rated language, I take it one of our bags got trashed by Bert Racoon?" Candace asked out loud.
"Well… Good news and bad news. Good news? Got 'cha sleeping bags!" Dana said, tossing the two remaining sleeping bags off the Gator.
"What's the bad news, then?" Kayley asked.
"Candace is right; one of the bags got torn to shreds. Meaning… Two of you's gonna have to share a bag." Dana answered back. "I'm sure you gals can figure something out."
She soon hopped back into her Gator, and started the engine.
"Anyways, I'm outtie. Night, gals!" Dana said, as she drove off into the night, with the three girls watching.
"Right, so… Anyone knows how to pitch a tent?" Candace asked out loud.
"I do? I haven't been camping since I was eight." Kayley answered back. "I mean, we have much of the night to learn, or in my case, re-learn. Besides, what kinda dangers outside evil spirits, vampire bats, and ravenous owls not giving us invites to Wizard School awaits us in the dead of night?"
Soon, the pale light of the campfire and the moon were all but shadowed in an instant…
The three girls looked up to see what appeared to be a 50 foot tall Isaac, looking down at the ground, alarmed.
"Ummm, Alec?" Isaac asked down in a booming voice. "The heck did you put in that lemon-tasting potion?"
Nancy looked at Kayley dead in the eyes. "I hope you remember how to pitch a tent, my dude..."
Confessional: Pitch Pitch Fall In Love!
Kayley: Besides, with us away from that killjoy… I bought the Midnight Hour Funkit we can do before we snooze! (She pulls out something from her bag.) I got Tarot cards, dream catchers… (She pulls out an Ouija board and quickly puts it back in.) I… think we'll be skipping that one.
Nancy: Dude… That was a 50 foot tall Isaac. Like, how? ...Maybe I need more sleep. Not like I would get any, with Vikki on the isle. (Her expression turns into a nervous one.) She's scary as crap...
Candace: Geez, Gabriella is probably one of those jerk girls in cartoons who just love belittling the main characters. Now that I think of it… If they were THAT rich, you think they would had bought the protag's house and kicked them clear across five districts?
The Next Day…
The sun has since risen over the horizon, as both Bob and Ethan were walking towards the Mess Hall. Bob let out a huge yawn, to which Ethan took notice of.
"What's wrong? Didn't sleep too well?" Ethan asked.
"Nah, it ain't that… Stayed up well into the night stitching up Frankie's sock puppet." Bob answered back. "Hoping to give it to him during the challenge. Ironically enough, it's the only free time we actually have, all while Gabriella is breathing down his neck."
He soon showed off the sock puppet, which looked more like an actual puppet.
"Man, Frankie is so gonna love this..." Ethan said, giving off a warm smile. "Yeah, after last night when Gabriella took him hostage..."
"Yeah, I don't get all of this Veruca Salt crap, myself. Heck, I never even encountered an entitled narcissist like herself before." Bob responded back, as they were at the doors.
"She's a bitch." Ethan stated. "Only with 99% less fur. Do we really wanna know what a furry Gabriella would even look like?"
Bob stared darkly at Ethan. "Pure horror..."
The two entered the Mess Hall to see a table all dressed up with a tablecloth. At the center of the table appeared to be a plate, complete with a cursive letter G dead center. There were also candlesticks by the left and right of the plate as well.
"You know, I actually agree with you; Gabriella is a bitch." Bob looked towards Ethan to which he nodded back.
"Whoa, that's some naughty language, Bob!" Dana playfully scolded towards Bob from the kitchen.
The two boys approached the bar which Dana was standing behind from.
"Morning, Dana; what's with the special table? We having a very important guest?" Ethan asked.
"Oh, I wish; it's Gabriella's special table set-up made specifically for her..." Dana responded back, before frowning. "I just hope I have it properly set up right; otherwise… I dread to think what Gabriella could even do."
She soon gave off a smile towards the two boys.
"Anyways, whatcha want for breakfast?" Dana asked. "I've got Eggs Machiavellian, bacon & eggs, eggs on toast..."
"You must enjoy eggs quite a lot." Ethan giggled.
"Hey, it gives you the jump-start protein you need to begin your day!" Dana responded back. "That, and my dear ol' mom, who is NOT that old yet, taught me everything she knows."
"Really?" Bob asked.
Dana smiled sweetly at Bob. "Certainly."
Bob nodded back. "In that case, I'll take a bacon & eggs."
"Same as me!" Ethan chimed back.
Dana gave off a grin and a thumb's up. "You got it!"
She soon entered the kitchen, as she started to make prep work for the boy's breakfast.
"Hope you don't mind that I had to use the cheapest eggs possible; with Gabriella around, we're kinda coaxed to give her specific foods, otherwise, she will SCCCRREEAAMMM..." Dana said towards the two.
"Gah, I hate that sound..." Ethan moaned, wincing a bit. "She is way too loud for my tastes."
Dana soon looked around, and got closer to the boys.
"Don't tell her I snuck into her specialty food for a couple of your eggs." Dana whispered towards the two.
"You have our word." Bob promised. "Seriously, why even bother auditioning Gabriella at all, and not someone named like… Um… Grace, or Gladys?"
Dana shook her head. "My dude, you've got no clue on who her dad is, right?"
"No, not really. I don't go around looking at the dirty laundry of the rich and famous." Bob said, shaking his head. "And if he is as bad as his daughter..."
"Is he a bitch as well?" Ethan asked.
Dana giggled. "You two's been watching way too much South Park to be belching that much bad language… Anyways, her dad's probably even richer than all of us put together. Even more richer than the eventful winner of this show. And he's also probably very powerful, cause, well, he's a rich dude. That's all that I can say, I shouldn't dig any deeper into the contestant's lives."
Bob nodded, as he noticed a bit of smoke coming from the kitchen.
"Yeah, cause I think you're about to dig yourself into a bit of trouble." Bob said, pointing towards the kitchen.
Dana looked at the kitchen, as her eyes went wide. "Crap!"
She ran into the kitchen, and sprayed some fluid from a fire extinguisher. After a few mere moments, she sighed.
"Well, this stove's screwed. And those eggs are, as well." Dana said out loud, as she tossed the overcooked and foam covered eggs into the trash. "Sorry that breakfast's a bust, boys. I'll try to make it up to you guys."
"Eh, it's fine." Ethan shrugged, as he poured himself a bowl of cereal, instead.
"Can't you fix the stove?" Bob asked.
"Well, the thing about it is… It's been kinda tampered with by one of our fellow Interns to the point it looks like it came from the year 3020." Dana answered back. "Only she would know how to make it function properly."
"Want us to get her?" Bob offered. "We've been meaning to find some decorations for a cave Ethan and I, along with Yuki and Hannah found yesterday during the challenge."
"If you don't mind." Dana nodded back, as she approached Bob, grabbed Bob's hand gently, and wrote a few digits down with an ink pen. "It's her passkey to her underground lair. It shouldn't be too hard to find, there's usually one tree that's a bit different than the others."
Bob nodded. "But what's to come for everyone else's breakfast?"
Dana grinned. "Don't worry about your gal pal Dana; Ethan gave me an idea, already!"
Confessional: Well, it is the most important meal of the day. What can possibly go wrong?
Bob: Secret underground lair? Futuristic stoves? Something tells me that this season's gonna be rather crazy.
Ethan: (He is nomming on some cereal.) There's a secret lab under our feet? Only thing at the bottom of my feet is skin. And possibly dead skin cells, if they're still attacked to them. Is that even healthy?
Dana: You think it was a good idea to send Bob and Ethan to fetch her? She can get pretty… Well, out there. Heck, she's already out there with that time machine microwave.
A few minutes elapsed, and soon, the two tween boys were in a sea of trees surrounding them. They found themselves in front of a large tree. It looked all bent, and dead, with three holes in the front of it. The first two were side-by-side and slanted, giving off the impression of eyes, while the third hole was large, gaping enough to seem like it could swallow a camper whole.
Bob looked at the tree, and nodded. "Yep, if I know video games, this has to be the right tree."
"You think it's safe? Like, that Whitney girl got ate by a shark yesterday. Just imagine what being eaten by a tree would feel like." Ethan responded back, still holding to his bowl of cereal. "It's too early in the morn to be eaten by wood."
The two soon entered the tree, and noticed a door, which was sealed shut. A passkey was on the wall near the door. Bob entered the passcode, and not too soon, the doors soon opened up, and the two boys entered, with the doors sealing shut behind them.
It was revealed to be an elevator, along with a Bossa Nova version of the TD theme playing as background noise. The ride down took less than 10 seconds, as the doors soon opened up again, and the two boys departed from the elevator, and looked all around the new room they arrived in.
It appeared to be an underground laboratory, with some shelves lined with various gizmos and gadgets. Each and every invention was stamped with a letter M, with half moon marks underneath the letter.
"Man, this is some truly space-age stuff..." Bob said out loud.
"Yeah, tell me about it." Ethan responded back, as he eyed one of the inventions. It looked to be a remote control of sorts. "Ooh, cool!"
He placed down his cereal and picked the remote up to examine it, as Bob looked at Ethan with a concerned look on his face.
"Um, I don't think we should be tinkering with those." Bob warned. "Considering all the buttons and gizmos all of this stuff has installed on it..."
He was suddenly zapped by the remote, as he split into four individuals, each of them looking like Bob, only with different colored sleeves on their shirt.
A red-sleeved Bob grinned deviously. "Hehehe… Time to blow everything the crap up!"
He soon produced some rather large cherry bombs straight outta nowhere, surprising the other Bobs in the room.
"Um… That's not very nice to just blow stuff up..." A blue sleeved Bob shuddered towards the red-sleeved Bob. "And… Where did you get those, anyway?"
"The Internet holds a lotta promise!" The red-sleeved Bob grinned back.
"Who knows what explosion we may have? All we know is that it'll be FABULOUS!" A pink sleeved Bob sung out.
The normal, green-sleeved Bob blinked. "Ethan? Please merge us back."
Ethan nodded, as the three other Bobs were merged back into Bob's body.
"Thanks; nobody should know my love of musical theater." Bob said towards Ethan.
Ethan nodded, as he placed the remote control back down.
The two continued to tour the laboratory, as they noticed a few pictures on the walls.
The first one depicted a blonde girl wearing thick glasses on her face around the age of six, holding what appeared to be some gizmo with a blue prize ribbon tied to it. She was sporting a smile and wearing a white lab coat which was too large for her. Next to her appeared to be a blonde male also around her age, as well as an elderly woman, each of the two showing approval. A male and a female were also in the pic, as well, each of them smiling.
"Considering that young girl's holding something which won her first place at some contest… I guess this is her lab? I do dig that mom's Pikachu hoodie, though." Bob asked out loud.
"I think I saw that gizmo somewhere around here?" Ethan pointed out, as the two looked at the second pic.
The second one showed the same blonde girl, now older and around Bob's age, grinning as she was holding a trophy up high, with some robotic apparatus next to her. She was still wearing a lab coat, only this time, it fit her snugly. The same blonde male was seen in the pic, as well as the older male and female, with the older female holding a pic of the elderly woman, which was in black and white. A ribbon was atop the pic of the elderly woman.
"I guess that old woman was this girl's grandma, and she died between these pics… Still, that apparatus next to her. Wouldn't wanna run into that in a dark hallway at night." Bob said out loud.
"It's holding a chainsaw and a shield… I didn't think those two could even match." Ethan also said out loud.
The two examined the last pic as Bob picked it from the wall. It appeared to be the same blonde girl still, but now a teenager. The same goofy grin she had from before was still there, along with the lab coat. She had a couple of girls next to her, with their arms wrapped around her body. The two girls both had wildly dyed hair, and wearing punk/goth clothing, and even sporting a few piercings in addition to a few tattoos on their arms as well.
"I guess these are her buddies?" Bob asked out loud. "They seem a bit too wild for someone like her. Then again, who are we to talk?"
"Yeah, like… The two other girls around our age have some real funky hair." Ethan pointed out, smirking. "Not as funky as someone I know back at home."
"Hey… Some guys find pink highlights rather attractive." Bob responded back, blushing lightly.
Not a second later, what appeared to be a camera, with a tiny speaker attached to it, lowered from the ceiling behind the two.
"Who DARES enter the secret lair of Maggie Reality?!" A feminine voice spoke out loudly, spooking Bob and Ethan.
"EEP!" Bob yelped in fear, as the two turned around.
"I swear, I didn't know that button would split Bob in four!" Ethan excused back. "I just wanted to see what it would do!"
"You must be a brave one to travel into a POWERFUL LAIR! You know what I do to trespassers, don't 'cha?"" The voice continued.
What appeared to be a cannon, resembling a MegaBuster from Megaman lowered. It started to glow, almost like it was charging up. Both Bob and Ethan paled in fear.
"Umm, it's one of the contestants! Dana asked us to fetch you!" Bob answered back.
"Funny… You don't look like a contestant to me… Especially one for Total Drama... Ah, well. I needed to fire this baby off anyway." The voice finished. "Say yer prayers! MWAHAHAHA!"
Both Bob and Ethan winced. They knew they couldn't run away. The two braced themselves for the worst as they grasped their hands together...
…
…
…
…
...PWeeeeewwww.
The two opened up their eyes, to see confetti and streamers rain down from the fired off cannon. The cannon soon retracted back up, as well as the camera. A door in front of the two soon opened up, revealing a female.
"Bwahaha! Gotcha!" A female voice playfully laughed out loud. "You should had seen yer faces!"
Both Bob and Ethan looked forward, and viewed the female approaching them from the well lit room behind her.
She appeared to have pale skin, and have a mane of bright, dyed purple hair that was spread out atop her head, along with a pair of thick eyeglasses over her eyes. She was also sporting a black t-shirt with the same M logo on the inventions stamped on her shirt, jean shorts, a hot pink lab coat tied around her waist, a pair of black boots, and she was also sporting a few piercings in her ears, along with some snakebite piercings, a nose ring, and an eyebrow piercing as well. She was also sporting a few tattoos on her arms, and one on her thigh. She was holding what appeared to be a wrench, as she was slapping it on her other palm.
"So… You're this intern girl that Dana mentioned?" Bob asked.
"Ya betchya!" Maggie answered back, as she pointed at herself. "Ya probably know this by now, but… The name's Maggie, and… If I scared the crap outta ya two, sorry about that."
"Eh, it's cool. Used the bathroom before I arrived here" Bob said, shrugging, as he looked at the photo he was holding and compared the two. "I guess this is a before pic?"
"What can I say? My old me looked really boring. A white lab coat? Hard pass. A skirt? Total nope. The glasses? Eh, they can stay; the boys love girls with glasses. 'Sides, need them to see worth a crap." Maggie replied back, shrugging. "As for the rest of me... Purple hair, piercings, and some wild ink is where it's at! Along with a dyed pink lab coat. My life is more fun, now!"
"Boy, Hannah will be jealous…" Bob giggled a bit.
Ethan looked around the lair some more. "So, did you actually tinker with this stuff?"
"Ya bet!" Maggie replied back, grinning. "Gizmos and gadgets a plenty, buddy! It's made with the brightest of brains, the latest in technology, and… Well, that last bit, I'll save for later."
"Anyways… We came to fetch you cause Dana broke the stove." Bob said honestly.
Maggie scoffed. "Again? I did give her directions on how to repair it. She can be such a handful. Like the time she tried to repair a PS4 before the show."
She walked over to a TV, with a PS4 hooked up to it, and turned it on. Only for the start-up screen to display a green, electric blob forming the Xbox symbol.
Bob blinked in amusement. "...How?!"
"Beats me. But we should get to repairing that stove of hers, alright?" Maggie said, giving off a smile.
Confessional: Well, that was a bit off the beaten path, huh?
Bob: Yeah, while I would had liked to try out one of Maggie's inventions, she could be rather cross if I done so and I broke it.
Maggie: -She is holding her wrench- I would had never fired off an actual laser at anyone anyway. That ain't cool in my book. Ah, well, let's get to breaking out Luan on that bad boy! This ain't your ordinary wrench; this fine lass can change into any tool which fits the situation! -She blinks- ...I'm totally being shipped with my wrench now cause of the name, am I?
Ethan: She made an Xbox out of a PS4… How insane is that?
Back in the Mess Hall, the campers were eating up what appeared to be…
"Cereal?" Jonah asked out loud, looking at the selection of foods today. "That ain't ya boi's bag."
He brushed his hair aside, as the winds whispered his name.
...Jonah...
Candace, the next in line, blinked. "How do you even do that?"
She soon let out a smile.
"Anyways, you shouldn't let that bog you down; cereal's basically any jump-start meal for any cartoon nut out there!" Candace said, smiling. "It gives you the get-up and go for your day! Annnnddd… You have all sorts of choices as well!"
Jonah smiled towards Candace. "Well, if you put it that way…"
He started to reach for what appeared to be a box of Kix, as Candace quickly shook her head.
"Except for the Kix. That's one cereal you don't wanna try." Candace warned. "It's got no colors, no junkie stuff, no flavor, no taste, no substance, no fun... It's basically cardboard! And yet, it's bought by the droves anyway. Where do they produce this crap? Mars?!"
"That would be my first guess; it's probably produced by some alien overlord, who's hellbent on conquering this planet via the way of Entitled Mothers and their demon spawn who's from another galaxy." Ross said, walking up to them. "And knowing our crap luck, it's probably their food source too, cause… What kinda human being born on Earth would actually ENJOY that stuff?"
Selena, overhearing Ross, frowned as she looked at her bowl of Kix.
Vikki grinned. "Nice! If Kix is off the table for alien invasions, then Circus Fun cereal is A-OK!"
She poured some of it into a bowl, added some milk, and bit into it. Omelette soon approached her.
"Er, all for nothing, but… Is that Circus Fun Cereal even safe to even consume?" Omelette asked, as she read the expiration date on the box. "It came out in 1986."
Vikki gulped. "Great, now you tell me..."
She ran out of the mess hall, as audible vomiting was heard, as Tina walked into the Mess Hall.
"Umm… Why is Vikki chucking her cookies on the zinnias outside?" Tina asked.
"She bit into some ancient cereal from the mid 80's." Luka answered back. "Maybe we should get our early substance from nature?"
"Yeah, you're probably right." Tina agreed, as she sat down in front of the two. "Besides… Who knows what eating a cherry flavored Bowser could do to your insides."
"Hey, take that up with Kirby." Whitney said, grinning. "He's the name you should know~!"
"Hoooo, guess our cereal is in some other Mess Hall, then." Xane also said, as he bit into some cereal. "This Pac Man cereal ain't half bad."
Hannah read the expiration date on the box. "Xane? I think your stomach's about to catch a Pac Man fever..."
Xane's body started to turn into a green hue. "...Excuse me, hoo..."
He ran out of the Mess Hall, as some more audible vomiting was heard.
Confessional: Jeepers, episode two and all the contestants are already vomiting.
Vikki: On the bright side… We've all went through the Total Drama experience? By the way, sorry your zinnias got ruined, Dana.
Xane: At least I didn't do it in the zinnias… Hoo…
Dana: Perhaps I shouldn't had dug into that cereal vault that came with this island?
"I said I wanted my ostrich egg omelet… NOW!" Gabriella whined out loud.
"Gee, someone's feeling salty..." Omelette remarked back towards Gabriella.
"And I wanted sleep, Gabriella!" Nancy yelled from her table, as she rubbed her back. "Man, I didn't feel that much back pain, even when I was getting my back tattoos done..."
"You were sleeping wrong." Kayley pointed out. "The perfect sleeping position when camping? Well, I can teach you if we're still sleeping outside tonight. You too, Candace. Don't think I see you rubbing your side."
"Kayley, dude… Maybe put some leaves underneath the tent for a foundation tonight?" Nancy suggested.
"It'll take a lotta leaves." Kayley answered back. "But consider it done."
Pretty soon, both Bob and Ethan entered the Mess Hall, triumph in their quest.
"Everyone! Breakfast shall soon be served!" Bob announced. "How late are we?"
"Late enough for two people to be sent outside chucking their cookies, hon." Yuki teased back.
Bob facepalmed. "Maggie? Might wanna work your magic before we re-enact The Brunch of Disgustiness..."
Maggie soon entered the Mess Hall, as everyone stared at her. She soon sported a wide grin.
"MWAHAHAHA!" Maggie laughed out loud. "You're facing the inventing glory that is MAGGIE REALITY!"
Gabriella groaned. "Great, another freak of nature. Maybe you can make yourself useful and invent me my ostrich egg omelet? Before I tell my daddy on you?"
Nancy grinned as she looked at Maggie. "Dude, you look metal as F!"
"I'll say; she has more ink on her body than I do..." Kayley pointed out loud, as she smirked. "For now."
"How many tattoos do you have?" Nancy asked Kayley.
"Oh, around eight." Kayley answered back truthfully.
"Lucky… I only got around four." Nancy said, looking at her cereal in shame.
Maggie grinned. "Don't you all worry; I'll have that stove tricked out again in no time, everyone'll be tasting one of the most awesomest meals they ever had!"
"FINALLY!" Gabriella shouted out loud.
She soon walked into the kitchen, as both Bob and Ethan shared a high five before they sat with their teammates.
"So, anything I missed?" Bob asked.
"Oh, just Candace explaining the wonders of other cereals." Jonah answered back. "She's quite a treasure..."
He brushed his hair back, as the winds whispered his name…
...Jonah...
"...Okay, maybe I should ask Maggie later on with how you're doing that thing." Bob pointed out. "That is not natural."
"Oh, that? You have to reach the same level of hotness as me to pull that off." Jonah responded back, deviously grinning.
With Ethan, he noticed Yuki was nearby his table, so he was chatting with her.
"So, diggin' the paint on your face." Ethan said out loud.
Yuki smiled. "Hey, you can't go wrong with a smiley on the left side of your face, sweetie. Then follow it up with a daisy on the other side."
"Speaking of which, why do you do that every morn? Like, do you got scars you wanna hide?" Ethan asked.
"Naaaaahhh, I just enjoy decorating my face every day." Yuki answered back. "Regular make-up's boring. I wanna be unique as possible. You know, be a household name, and someone that everyone'll want to root for."
"That plan will be kinda a toughie; some of them root for the bad guys. And considering Duncan, Alejandro, Lightning, Mal, and Sugar won their seasons..." Ethan pointed out.
"Umm… Didn't Sugar get booted before the finale?" Yuki asked.
"Eh, that game was mostly rigged in her favor." Ethan answered back, shrugging. "I'm surprised that her mom wasn't pulling some strings behind the scenes."
Confessional: Did he say too much? Should we take him out?
Ethan: Yeah, last decade had way too many bad guys win. Like-
Chris: We had to truncate Ethan's Confessional cause he said a lotta spoilery stuff from shows not Total Drama which could ruin anyone's binge-watching experience.
Zero: As usual. Humanity is always pulling for evil to win. We're royally f-ked as a species.
An hour later, most of the campers were eating a hearty breakfast, as Chris appeared on a TV screen inside the Mess Hall.
"Campers! It's soon to be time for your first Challenge as teams!" Chris announced, getting the camper's attention. "Yep, this time, everything is at stake, as if your team loses this challenge, one of you is getting the boot."
"Jeepers, way to scare tactic us, dude." Maxwell stated.
"Anyways, once you're done with your breakfast, meet me near the campfire. McLean… Out!" Chris said, ending the transmission.
"Whatta think this upcoming challenge will be?" Vikki asked. "Maybe we'll have to stay up into the wee hours of the morning..."
"Nah, I highly doubt Chris would pull off a similar challenge." Omelette answered back. "Besides… We be kinda beat. Look at some who we've have to out-awake."
Vikki glanced over at a couple of the contestants.
"Yeah, you're right. How can we even beat a binge gamer and a witch in staying up several hours?" Vikki asked.
Confessional: Simple! Very, very carefully.
Ross: If it was an awake challenge… We may have this in the bag! Yours truly stays up late nights, checking out signs for alien life! Or for paranormal activity. Whatever arrives first.
Isaac: (Nerdi is by his side) It shouldn't be too horrid if this is a Stay Awake challenge. We stayed up into the wee hours of the morn working on various projects. Or rather… Nerdi is one to stay up late.
Nerdi: Heeeeeyyy, you think it's my fault my favorite anime has buff dudes beating people up, meow...
Soon, all of the campers were standing outside near the campfire, as Chris approached the campers.
"Campers! Welcome to your first challenge as official teams!" Chris announced out loud. "And for your challenge… You shall be going on a scavenger hunt!"
Omelette suddenly chuckled. "I… stand corrected."
"Wait, seriously?" Nancy shouted out loud. "We had one yesterday!"
"Humanity is always tampering with the past..." Zero muttered darkly. "Always making changes to works that doesn't need any changes…"
Ross nodded towards Zero. "No wonder everyone went on a witch hunt in Hollywood when they were announcing they were remaking A New Hope." He agreed back.
"...Don't talk to me, worthless human." Zero sneered back, as he walked far from his presence.
Ross looked towards Zero. "Hey, it's still too early in the morn to be an edgelord, you know!"
"Anyways… You all shall be looking for a specific pair of artifacts which match your team! The first team to find their objects are today's winners!" Chris continued, as Maggie walked over to the team, holding a tray that had three devices on it, with their monitors resembling a radar screen.
"Um… What is this nerdy stuff?" Danny asked out loud, holding the device.
Maggie grinned. "Thought someone would ask. Those things? They're your radar for this challenge. It'll make things loads easier for you and your team."
"Whatever..." Danny muttered as he tossed it over to Tina. "Take it, you nerd."
Tina barely caught it, as she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good call, cause NOBODY wants to be at a disadvantage during the challenge. MWAHAHAHA..." Maggie laughed out loud.
"So, what are we even looking for?" Maxwell asked, as he tapped on the screen.
"Simple!" Dana interrupted, as she pressed a button, and a giant monitor rose from the ground, and turned on.
A logo for the Tough Turtles was displayed, as what appeared to be a gem stone, carved in the shape of a star, was shown onscreen.
"The Turtles shall be searching for the Crystal Shards from the Paper Mario series. There are seven in all, and each hidden in certain locations." Dana instructed.
"Which should be easy-peasy! We've got someone here with a hammer!" A grin sporting Omelette said, as she looked at Vikki while she fiddled with her shades. "You do have a hammer, right?"
Vikki smiled back as she reached into her sleeves and pulled out a squeaky hammer. "I do, if you don't mind it being a squeaky hammer."
"I… am probably sure you don't need a hammer for this challenge, girls." Dana giggled, as she pressed the button.
This time, the Screaming Squids' logo was displayed, with the image of a Chaos Emerald on the front.
"For the Squids, they shall be hunting down the Chaos Emeralds from the Sonic series." Dana instructed. "And before anyone asks, nope; these are just replicas. You can't go into some super form, or sell them for a quick buck. Trust me, I tried."
"Going into super form?" Hannah asked.
"Trying to sell them for a quick buck." Dana answered back, giggling a bit. "You know, for reasons..."
Peter smirked. "Ahh, Genesis does what Nintendon't." He said, looking at Tina.
"Dude, they're buddy-buddy with everyone now. It's been like that since they stopped with game consoles." Tina responded back, as she looked at her radar.
"Ohh, just wait until tonight. My thumbs are nearly healed, sooooo… Get ready to get owned, girl." Peter dared back.
"And as for the Funky Flounders..." Dana said, as she pressed the same button.
On screen, appeared to be the Funky Flounders logo, with a spherical ball stamped with a couple of tiny, red stars on it.
"You're gonna be looking for the seven Dragon Balls!" Dana announced. "Again, like the Chaos Emeralds, those are just replicas, so don't think one of you can wish yourself the victor of this game. Trust me, I tried."
"Whatcha wish for?" Bob asked.
Dana looked softly at Bob. "It's kinda personal. Sorry."
"Anyways, you all got radars? Good! Then off you go! The challenge begins now!" Chris announced.
The campers ran off together, as Chris looked at the camera.
"And there you have it! This challenge is on! However, who shall crack at trying to find their Macguffins? Find out… After the break." Chris announced, as he looked at Dana. "Anyways, what were you trying to wish for, anyway?"
"Like I said, it's kinda personal." Dana answered back. "It's the kinda personal thing which had you suddenly incite a riot."
"Whoa, you've got a criminal record?" Maggie asked, smirking back. "I thought our boss here was the only one to had one. Quite a hefty one, too!"
"Heeeeyyy!" Chris whined back in embarrassment.
Dana chuckled. "Well, he's still the only one with a criminal record~."
"A record I should be proud of having." Chris declared, grinning back.
Maggie looked at the host. "Um, I think being arrested while preforming a seance using a My Buddy toy as a sacrifice isn't something to be proud of. Especially in the Netherlands."
And thus, the hunt is on for… Well, various nerdy objects! Will they succeed? Who knows!
NEXT TIME: The search… Continues. Annnnnddd someone is given the boot.
