At the thought of the Total Drama Aftermath show, everyone just got more eager to find what changes are there

Chris took the remote and pressed play and the episode starts


Geoff and Blaineley were seen on the host couch

"Hey everyone" Geoff waved to the audience "welcome to Total Drama Aftermath! I'm Geoff the host"

"And I'm Blaineley Stacey Andrews O'halloran co-host of this show" the blond woman smiled "and with us are the past contestants of Total Drama who didn't join this season; Beth, Ezekiel, Justin, Trent along with Katie and Sadie"

She looked to them "so, tell me how are you handling the audience part of this show"

"It's really nice" Justin leaned back on his cushion looking good as usual "no worrying of looking hideous"

"I agree" the model nodded

"I don't like it" Ezekiel crossed his arms "I'd rather be in that show and take the million bucks home"

"As if he could" everyone rolled their eyes at homeshool's declaration

His words caused the audience to boo at him

"Ooh..." Blaineley looked at her laptop "you better watch what you say Zeke, the fans already hate you during season 1 and even named you loser the first for it"


That title got everyone laughing their guts out

"Oh man, that name totally fits him!" Duncan held his sides to stay on his seat

"And I can bet that Harold is loser the second" Geoff nodded as he laughed

The party host blinked "you're a blogger Blaineley?"

Sierra blinked at that and looked to the blond host "you are?"

"Just watch the show" she huffed in embarrassment at herself for showing one of her secret resource on information

"Not at first" she replied "I just got a letter that said go to Sierra's blog of TD and your info hunt is set" she smiled a bit "and I must say, the fans' perspective of you guys are interesting"

"Back to the non-participants" the aftermath host continued "any thoughts on Eva going this season"

"I'd say I'm glad that she has her chance to compete again" Beth smiled "even though that she is scary, she joined because she likes competition"

The crowd clapped happily at her answer making the girl blush a bit from the praise

"That's very nice of you Beth, and I'm sure Eva herself is glad to hear it" Geoff gestured to the open couch "who is our first guest right now!"


The powerhouse walked in with few members of the crowd clapping since they were still surprised that a girl like her hasn't blown up yet thanks to a certain oddball

"You can say that again" Eva nodded "I still can't believe it myself"

The others nodded agreeing with her

"So Eva how as it to be out so early?"

"Not so bad" she answered before looking at her armband "because of that, oddball just became my friend"

"Be happy that Jason is your friend Eva" Blaineley smiled "because of his impossible stunt on making you smile in your drop, the name mad muscles is being removed"

"Good for me then" the powerhouse huffed

"Say Eva, since Jason changed you a bit would you like to play truth or hammer?"

"Sure go ahead" the girl nodded "I actually wanted to see for myself if it is truth, cause I'm feeling so confused with the new feelings I just expressed back in the contest"

"Agreed" Eva nodded herself

"Great" she coughed a bit and said her question "before Jason arrived and earned your trust, did you consider Izzy your friend?"

Everyone leaned forward curious on Eva's answer

"No" she said bluntly "she maybe tolerable but friend is a bit much more like... acquaintance at best"

She waited for the hammer to swing in...but nothing happened

"Aw" the crazy girl smiled "I didn't know that you liked me"

"Believe it or not crazy" the powerhouse spoke back "your the only one who actually wanted me at the final episode money chase"


"Whoa" Geoff blinked "seems like our powerhouse has now entered the liked part of the fanbase, I took a glimpse on my co-host's blog and you have been raised from rock bottom to likable"

"All right" the co-host stood up "let's introduce our second guest, he was liked by the fans at first for keeping up in competition but plummeted down thanks to lies and cheating... Harold!"

The nerd puffed his chest in pride and got his voice back ignoring the last part "the man with mad skills enters the stage"

The others shook their heads in disappointment 'so pathetic...'

The guy walked in with the bandage wrapped on his head to keep him quiet since his jaw is still broken

Suddenly a big guy from the audience stood up and yelled

"Finally someone shut you up!" he shouted "It was long overdue thanks to your great wisdom being so obvious!"

That got the crowd to laugh a bit before calming down

"Hey!" he cried and stood up making the others smile

Harold narrowed his eyes a bit before sitting down

"So Harold..." Geoff called to the bandaged loser "how does it feel to be the first to lose?"

Harold pulled out a whiteboard and marker and wrote on it

Not good, with me gone my team will be the first one erased from competition without my skills

"Which happens to stink!" the giant fan called from his seat

Not liking that remark, Harold stood up and pulled out his nunchucks and made a battle stance

"So loser 2 wants to rumble?" the giant stood up and cracked his knuckles "will loser 1 join also?"

"You got that right!" Ezekiel jumped off his seat and went to Harold's side "I'll show everyone that I'm no loser!"

The 3 of them walked off the stage to do their battle outside the studio building


"Well that's going to be a short fight" Geoff shook his head with a chuckle

"You got that right man" Trent smiled "they are not going to last with that guy"

"Oh! Make sure you take a picture of them as a beaten pulp" Blaineley called to the giant "it would make a great poster for the blog!"

"That would make a good printout for t-shirts too" Chris added with a nodding Chef

The co-host then smiled to Geoff "so mister host, are you ready to meet your long awaited girlfriend to return in your arms?"

He gulped "I think so, but I don't think that I can talk to her for a bit" he looked at Blaineley "can you take over for a while cause I need to get my mind straight for a moment" he stood up and walked of stage

"Well that's something I didn't expect" Geoff blinked at his guy's sudden leave

"Maybe it's because Jason kept your girlfriend safe" Justin reasoned "after all, with him keeping Bridgette company before her elimination can make you worry on the questioning part"

"It seems that our host is having trouble keeping his thoughts together" Blaineley smiled "well let's take a break and we will return to have more Total Drama Aftermath!"

"Looks like this aftermath show will be much shorter than ours" Noah wrote down the change "but I wonder if oddball's meddle will make him the main topic on all of the Aftermath episodes"

"It might be" Trent agreed "he did do a lot of things that are impossible to us"

"Welcome back everyone!" Blaineley smiled "sadly Geoff still hasn't come back from his moment, so I'll get us started"

"Before I introduce our third guest of today" she looked to Trent "Trent, what do you think of our oddball's singing?"

"Pretty good" the musician answered "his song in the New York challenge really attracted a crowd"

"I'll say" Chris smiled "and he got dragged away from his team"

"Well you won't believe this then" she looked to the blog "cause it said right here that Jason's song from that challenge got him a lot of fans"

"Why's that?" he blinked

"It said right here on his blog about your songs in TDI and TDA" the co-host started reading "music is power, the power to express emotion. Trent, your songs was about your own feelings" she then took a breathe "but when I sing, I express the feelings of not only me, but others as well"

The crowd gasped at the oddball's idea of music

"Whoa..." Trent was wide-eyed "I never knew he was that good"

Sierra squealed at that "I knew that song felt familiar!"

"No kidding" Cody nodded agreeing with his girlfriend

Harold however denied it "big deal, it's like not even good"

Leshawna slapped his head in irritation "shut it Harold!"

"That's right folks" Blaineley nodded "Jason can make memorable music for everyone to hear, after his New York challenge, no doubt the fans would want it now more than ever"

"Enough of that" Geoff spoke as he entered the stage "let's welcome our last guest Bridgette"

When everyone expected the surfer to be on stage, she didn't come out making everyone wonder why

"Uh... is there something stalling her?"

"Let's check the back room and see ourselves" the co-host snapped her fingers making the big screen appear "shall we?"

"Bridgette?" Beth called from the door "are you okay in there?"

"Sorry, I'm just looking for Jason's gift" the surfer called from inside "I misplaced it somewhere"

"Seems that surfer girl got klutzy today" Heather smirked

"Oh be quiet" Bridgette huffed in embarrassment


While that was happening, screaming was heard revealing the losers looking scared with their clothes ripped after their fight with the giant

"You gotta help us!" the homeschool cowered "he's gonna kill us!"

Harold nodded in haste before the giant grabbed their legs and dragged them back outside making the 2 of them scream in fear/silence

Harold was wide-eyed at his counterpart's condition before once again going quiet

"Finally" Duncan smiled "another moment of peace from the wimp's annoying mouth"

"They should've kept quiet and took the insults" Blaineley shook her head with small smile "then this battle would've been avoided"

The crowd agreed with a small laugh

"And now without further delay" the co-host smiled "let's welcome Bridgette"

The surfer stepped making the crowd clapped in joy

"Bridge!" Geoff jumped out of his seat and onto the floor grasping his girlfriend's legs "tell me that you haven't fallen for the new guy!" he cried "I don't want to lose my girlfriend because of him!"

"Talk about being worried..." Duncan smirked making Geoff cover his eyes using his hat

"Don't worry Geoff" Bridgette called "I'm sure my girl won't be like that"

The crowd laughed a bit from the host's action to his girlfriend

"Relax Geoff I'm not" Bridgette smiled before looking to the aftermath cast "and I brought gifts from Jason"

She then opened the bag and pulled out a note reading it aloud "dear aftermath cast, I know most of you don't need trinkets but I'd like to do it because I want to be friends with you"

"That's nice of him" Beth giggled

"To Katie and Sadie" Bridgette tossed them something "a friendship necklace"

The BFF's squealed at their gift and wore them happily

"That's so sweet" Katie smiled

"Now I wish he was part of us" Sadie pouted

"To Justin, a pair of special sunglasses since your not much of a hat person"

"Sweet" the model then felt something on the legs "a button?" he then pressed it to see the lenses change color "cool"

"Now that's nice" Justin smiled "it would fit my modeling career"

"To Beth, good luck bracelets" Bridgette pulled out the item and continued reading "I felt bad that you had to be kicked out of France, you and your BF could use something to remind of the nice time there"

The girl took her gift and gasped happily "there's even the Eiffel tower on it!" she jumped a bit "oh Lindsay is going to like this when she sees it!"

"I can't wait to wear it!" Lindsay hugged her best friend "thank you J!"

"And finally to Geoff and Trent" Bridgette pulled out a CD case "after seeing you both in season 2, I saw some problems you carried with the people you felt for, so I made songs to reveal that"

"Oh this should be dramatic" Chris rubbed his hands in glee

The surfer looked to the audience "what do you say everyone? Should we play them?"

The crowd cheered loudly wanting to listen as well

But before the music played Bridgette read the last part of the note "everyone, please ready your tissues, cause Trent's song will make you cry" she then smiled "let's start the music"

Everyone leaned back on their chairs and waited for the music to start


Here we are again, awake at 5am
I didn't mean a word I said

Can we just pretend I can take it back
change the way the story ends?

I remember when things were simple then
didn't always hurt this way

I would fall asleep
You would carry me
You would take my fears away

Am I messed up?
Forever flawed?
Beyond repair?

But forever yours

All my life, all I ever did was try and try
I never meant to be your problem child...
your problem child...

Yeah

I don't know why, I always found a way to make you cry
I never meant to be your problem child...
your problem child...

Yeah


Katie and Sadie were hugging each other, crying hard for the sad emotions the song played

Lindsay and Beth were on the same boat as they too felt the strong feelings of the music

Bridgette felt herself engrossed to sad song and cried into her hands, Geoff hugged her close to comfort her and himself from the song

Duncan stayed strong but even he can feel the weight of the oddball's words

Not to mention Izzy, Owen, Leshawna, Blaineley, Noah, Heather, Justin, Gwen along with Chris and Chef were feeling the tears in their eyes

Trent, being a musician himself, was able to resist the effect. Instead he can feel the song connecting him to his obsession of the number 9... the one thing that reminded him of his grandpa


When you look at me
I wonder if you see, all the things you thought I could be

Or all the crazy nights?
All the stupid fights...
all the tears filled our eyes

Am I messed up?
Forever flawed?
Beyond repair?

But forever yours

All my life, all I ever did was try and try
I never meant to be your problem child...
your problem child...

Yeah

I don't know why, I always found a way to make you cry
I never meant to be your problem child...
your problem child...

Yeah


The song ended with the crowd either clapping or crying at the beautifully made song

"So beautiful..." Blaineley wiped the tears off her eyes, she looked to the crying aftermath cast "Trent... what do you think?"

"It was spot on" he wiped his tears "it made me realize that I was only thinking of grandpa so much that when he died I pushed away my parents' company for it"

"Aww" she clasped her hands together "you realized something, I'm sure that Jason will put this song on cliptube" she then looked to the crying blond couple holding each other "Uh...guys?"

"Sorry" Geoff blew his nose "It's just so beautiful"

"I'll say" Bridgette nodded "let's hope that his last song won't be too emotional" she looked to the audience "let the music play"

Chris paused the video getting everyone to look up

"I know that you all still have tears to shed so let it out right now before the song starts

After a few more minutes of crying, everyone was set and ready to listen

Chris pressed play again and the song was heard


My heart is is sinking as I'm lifting up above the clouds away from you
and I can't believe that I'm leaving
Oh I don't kno-kno-know what I'm going to do

But someday I will find my way back to where your name is written in the sand

Cause I remember every sunset
I remember every word you said
we were never going to say goodbye

singing la-da-da-da-da

Tell me how to get back to
back to summer paradise with you

And I'll be there in a heartbeat
(heartbeat)

O-oh

And I'll be there in a heartbeat
(heartbeat)

O-oh


Even though they got out of their crying from the first song, it returned again and this time all of them were crying waterfalls


My soul is broken
streets are frozen
I can't stop these feelings melting through

And I'd give away a thousand days
just to have another one with you

Well real life can wait, we're crashing like waves
we're playing in the sand
holding your hand

Cause I remember every sunset
I remember every word you said
we were never going to say goodbye

singing la-da-da-da-da

Tell me how to get back to
back to summer paradise with you

And I'll be there in a heartbeat
(heartbeat)

O-oh

And I'll be there in a heartbeat
(heartbeat)

O-oh

I'll be there in a heartbeat...


And just like before, the crowd clapped or cried on the song that was played, but this time the hosts and guests were able to somewhat control their tears

"So wonderful" Beth smiled at the music

Katie and Sadie were wiping their tears with tissues along with Justin and Trent

"It sure is" the musician nodded "it definitely goes well with Geoff and Bridgette"

Blaineley turned to the host and his girlfriend with Geoff crying his heart out while Bridgette was wiping her tears since the song was about them

"Oh wow" Duncan rolled his eyes "nice reaction Geoff"

"You try reacting on a song that's about you" the party animal retorted while sniffling

"Oh...kay" she then looked to Bridgette "what do you think?"

"It's lovely"she smiled "it also made us realize that all we did was kiss a lot, so this song gave us an idea to have a date on the beach"

"True that" Geoff nodded as he went to crying

"Well let's end this episode now before more water works come in" the co-host waved her hand "I hope you all enjoyed our show that is Total Drama Aftermath!"

The screen went black as the cast were still crying tears

Chris wiped his tears and finally got himself together "All right folks let's get some lunch before we get back to more viewing of episodes"

They nodded, all that crying from Jason's song really made them hungry
