A/N: I'm surprised I got this out in time! I spent a whole week not writing because of a family death. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
Everyone sat in front of a projector in first class. Waiting for something to happen, eventually Veronica got impatient. "Okay what are we waiting for?"
Chris glared at her. "Hush. Noah was supposed to be here with the promo when we got done with the first part of the challenge! If you wanna blame anyone, blame him."
As though talking about him had summoned him Noah entered the room. He was disheveled. His hair, normally so stylized, was messy. His sweater vest was off center, and in general his clothes were wrinkled. He was breathing heavily, his eyes wide open from shock.
"Noah man you look like hell ran over." Chef said, he chuckled but there was an underlying concern in his voice.
"That's because hell did run me over." He gasped. "Turns out I have a huge fanbase, which makes no sense considering how little screen time I had, and some of them are not against unwanted physical contact."
Most of the contestants looked at him with sympathy and a few looked worried about their own future. "Stop complaining. Did you get what I wanted?"
Noah handed the host the promo. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take a long shower."
"Just be back by the end of the challenge." Chris yelled.
"Whatever!"
Chris started the promo for action. . It started with Chris announcing the season on the film lot. Followed by a clip of Gwen, Trent, and Duncan running from a bear, Trent placing a show light, and Owen eating a full chicken. Owen spoke a line but though it came from his mouth it was not Owen;s voice. It was weird and the weirdness didn't stop as Izzy's voice was also dubbed.
"What the hell?" Alister said, incredulously.
"That piece of cinematic gold is the Japanese promo," Chris explained. "Total Drama is huuuuge here!"
"But the voices were dubbed in english, despite that being its original language." Amber noted.
"Turns out the locals just didn't like the sounds of the original cast." Chris said with a shrug. "Sorry!"
"You're not sorry at all." Veronica deadpanned.
"True...," Chris acquiesced. "Ready for the next challenge? I hope you paid attention because you'll be writing, directing, and producing your very own Japanese commercial"
"There's a brand new candy hitting the Japanese market," he explained before pulling out a pinkish bag of snacks with the image of a fishtail on the front. "It's Chef's 'Total Drama Yum Yum Happy Go Time Candy Fishtails'! I call this the 'Total Drama Yum Yum Happy Go Time Candy Fishtails' Challenge, "of Celebration Fun."
"Mmm, you said we were gonna pay a real Tokyo ad firm," Chef growled.
"Oops," The host said unapologetically , "I did! Didn't I? As props,you'll be allowed to use anything you can find in the airplane's storage area. Since Team Victory won the first challenge, they get to choose their props first."The six teens cheered at this, sharing a high five. "With Team Chris is really, really, really, really, hot choosing second," the host added, "and Team Misfit stuck with...whatever dregs are left..." The six glared at Chris, save Jeremiah who just looked excited.

In the cargo area of the plane Team Chris watched while team Victory chose their props. Alejandro examined a small cardboard house and the spider costume from Phobia Factor. "I'm seeing a tiny Tokyo and a giant radioactive monster."
"Oh I wanna be the monster! Let me be the monster! I'm great at destroying stuff!" Kennedy pleaded.
"That's a super swell idea Al!" Martha cheered.
"Please it's super generic." Alister scoffed.
"If you have any ideas I am open to hearing them amigo." The Spainard directed towards him.
"Um, okay, so. Okay I can't think of an idea, but that doesn't mean yours is good!" Alister glared.
"Alister we are all teammates. Must you be so antagonistic?" Stafans asked.
Before the jock could give an answer Veronica cut him off. "A generic idea is better than no idea. Now let's get going, we only have so much time!"
With that Victory picked up their props and headed for the door. Alejandro stopped to talk to Rhys. "Good luck in the next challenge."
"Thank you, good luck to you as well." Rhys told him, smiling. The group left.
. "Okay so does anyone have ideas for the commercial?" Rhys asked his team.
"Everyone is at a rad party, when we run out of snacks!" Nathan offered.
"Then one of us shows up in some crazy costume and saves the day with the candy fish tails!" Corbyn added.
"Guys these are Total Drama fans! If anyone would know what appeals to them it's me!" Madison cried.
"I don't know what her idea is but I already like it better." Ed snarked.
"Okay, what did you have in mind?" Rhys asked her.
"Well…"
/
Team Misfit sighed as they looked at what was left, a red hood, a purple skirt, a hockey mask, and pieces of random equipment." The odds are against us." Amber noted.
/
Back with team Victory they are trying to set up the city but Kennedy keeps stomping around and making monster sounds. Veronica gave her a look. "Can you try to be serious for once?"
"This is me being serious. Seriously invested in my role!" She cackled.
"At least she's doing something!" Alister complained glaring at Alejandro, who was currently sitting in the director's chair trying a fish tail.
"Let it go." Stafans asked the jock. Alejandro gagged. "He's clearly suffered enough.
(Confessional)
Alejandro: Like rotted fish intestine with a side order of fermented squid and dirty hockey equipment. (He barfs)

Team Misfit is brainstorming when Jeroboam speaks up. "I have an idea." Everyone looked to him. "Georgia, how are you at playing a villain?"
"I'm Georgia Brown! A master of all things theatrical.." She replied.
' "We need another lead. A few extras and someone to film it." He instructed.
"Please let me play the lead!" Jeremiah exclaimed.
"Are you sure, because the part is female?" Jeroboam informed him.
"That's not a problem." The theater nerd grinned.
"I'll handle camera." Patricia said.
"Perfect, you're a photographer right?" Amber asked, Patricia nodded. "Then that leaves Jeroboam, Leilani, and myself as the extras." She turned to Jeroboam. "What do we do?"
/
Rhys and Nathan are sitting in front of a backdrop that looks like the dock of shame. The latter is holding a bag of fishtails, the former looks uncomfortable. "Cut!" Madison yelled. "Rhys stop being so stiff!:
"You said your ad only required two people. I told you I'm not the best at acting!" Rhys told her.
"But you and Nathan have the best chemistry!"
"Nathan and Corbyn have better chemistry." Rhys retorted.
"Sure if we were going for friendship, but we're not!"
Chris begins to walk by, interrupting the argument."You have five minutes left to film your ad. Then it's happy fish yum, what, whatever. We'll be watching them in five minutes.
/
Back with team Misfit, Jeremiah is wearing the red hood and purple skirt. He's holding a long pole with a candy fishtail stuck through the end. Georgia is wearing the hockey mask.
"Alright now remember you're going to be protecting the people in the name of hope, love, and candy fishtails." Jeroboam told Jeremiah.
"Alright!" he replied, giving a twirl.
"Georgia you want the hope of the people to fade." Leilani said.
"Trust me, I know what people want." Georgia said, sounding a bit cocky.
"Patricia,we all ready on the camera front?" The girly boy asked. We see Particia holding the camera and ready to film. She gives a thumbs up. "Alright! Let's make a commercial."
/
Everyone is sitting in the viewing room. Chris steps in front of them. "Alright,now that you're done filming it's time to see if your hard work has paid off. Chef?"
The hulking man was sulking. "No budget, no ad agency rip-off cheese-ball cheap show," he grumbled. Noah gave him a pat on the back.
"First up, Team Victory with 'Monster rampage.'" Chris introed. The screen began to show team Victory's commercial. Kennedy was wearing the spider costume, along with the hands and head of Chef's alien costume. She was stomping around breaking up the boxes before her. She cackled as she crushed a 'house' under her foot.
Across from her stood the rest of the team wearing military helmets. "Oh no the crazy prankster monster!" Alejandro cried.
"We have to get out of here!" Veronica cried convincingly enough.
"Women and children first!" Stafans called.
Alister crossed his arms and didn't say anything. He was promptly hit by Veronica's elbow. "Whatever will we do?" He said sarcastically.
Martha says nothing, waving around her arms in a panicked pantomime.
"Are you alright Martha?" Stafans asked, breaking character. Veronica facepalmed.
""We will stop her this way!" Alejandro exclaimed, throwing a candy fishtail into Kennedy's mouth. She swallows and makes a satisfied noise. Then everyone dances to a jingle.
"Next up," Chris said "Team Chris with 'Nostalgia on the docks'." The sound of waves lapping against the shore plays as Nathan and Rhys 'sit on the dock,' Rhys looks incredibly uncomfortable.
"I'm so glad you didn't get voted off." Nathan said, sliding his hand closer to Rhys'.
The brunette shifts uncomfortably. "Um yeah I am too."
Nathan leans forward. "I would be devastated if I had to watch you walk down the dock of shame."
Rhys scoots away from him. "Yeah, if we were separated, I don't know what I'd do?"
Nathan holds out a candy fishtail. "You want a fishtail?"
"S-sure." He replied. The two ate their snacks and gagged. The background faded to white.
We hear Madison's voice. "Total Drama Yum Yum Happy Go Time Fishtails. They'll take you back to season one."
As the film ended Chris gave the members of Team Chris a look. "Okay that was um, interesting."
"That was a disaster, like opening night in a rundown theater, under repairs, closed to the public." Noah deadpanned.
Rhys facepalmed. "I can't believe I'm going to say this, but maybe we should have gone with Nathan's idea."
"It was a look back to the romance of season 1! When everything was pure and love triangles were nonexistent! It-" Madison was silenced by Chris' hand.
"Next up Team Misfit' with 'the power of hope is within you! Total Drama Yum Yum Happy Go Time fishtails!'"
The background was that of a starry sky. Jeremiah stands on the left wearing the hood and skirt, before Georgia on the right. "Did you really think you could beat me?! My power is infinite!" Georgia says dramatically, she lets out an evil laugh. She sends her hands forward and black glowing beam, clearly added in the editing process, hits Jeremiah sending him to the ground. "Give up! Your chances of victory are none!"
Jeremiah gives a convincing groan and stands up slowly, as though he had actually been hit. "I will never give up! Evil cannot win!" He cried, brandishing the stick, with a fishtail through it.
` Georgia cackles maniacally. "Then die!" She moves her hands forward, and again the black glowing beam shoots out, this time continuously. Jeremiah groans somehow managing to look like he was pushing against the spell, despite it being an effect.
"No her power! It's too much." He groans.
The lighting brightens and we see Amber, Jeroboam, and Leilani. "Don't give up fishtail girl!" Jeroboam cries.
"We believe in you." Amber says stiltedly.
"To the end." Leilani deadpanned, sounding no different than usual.
"I can feel it!" Jeremiah cried. "The hearts and minds of the people are one!" He stands up, and points at Georgia. "In the name of love, hope and fishtails I will defeat you!"
Georgia keeps cackling as Jeremiah lifts up his 'wand' and begins to slowly twirl and he chants. "Total Drama Yum Yum Happy Go Time Fishtails Attack!" A flurry of fishtails, once again added in editing, fly into Georgia. She falls with a scream.
"NO!" She cries before vanishing. The rest of the group starts talking to Jeremiah as triumphant music plays. We don't hear them, rather we see the bag of fishtails and the name of the snack. Then the commercial ends.
Everyone blinks in stunned silence. Chris finally speaks up. "Well that was, melodramatic? Well Chef?"
"Chris, ah, I think I gotta go with Team Misfit.." The group of six high fived each other. "Anyone who dresses in drag and is still proud is a man in my book." The cook said looking at Jeremiah with pride.
."Congratulations Team Misfit." Chris told them. "But Chef, I also have to know: who bit the biggest?"
"Those guys," he replied pointing at Team Chris"With that awkward romance thing. You lose!" Team Chris looked heartbroken.
"But lucky for you this was just a reward challenge!" Chris declared. "Team Misfit will be treated to an all you can eat Sushi Bar and authentic ramen." Team Misfit cheered.
/
Team Misfit is in first class enjoying their prize. Jeremiah, Leilani, and Patricia are sitting at the bar with a bowl on ramen each. Leilani also had a lot of sushi and wasabi. "You're an amazing actor Jeremiah." Leilani complimented.
"You can call me Jeremy." Jeremiah told her. "You're a great director! You and Jeroboam both did a good job." Leilani's lip twitches in some semblance of a smile. He turns to Patricia. "And your editing was spectacular."
"It's my passion." Patricia said fiddling with her hands as though unused to such praise.
Meanwhile Jeroboam and Amber are sitting on the seats. They each have some ramen and sushi. "Everyone really came together today." Amber smiled. "You especially Jero. That was a great idea."
"Well," Jeroboam began trying to find his words. "You did great too."
Amber shook her head. "I was pretty useless this challenge."
The girly boy cupped her face. "Don't say that about yourself. You're a great leader and good friend."
Amber seemed flustered. "Thanks."
Georgia intervened. "Jeroboam I just wanted to say what marvelous job you did today."
"Thanks." Jeroboam replied . "But the commercial wouldn't have been nearly as good without your acting."
"While that is true, your idea was top notch!"
"That sweet of you." Jeroboam said standing up with a smile.
"Think nothing of it." Georgia said, giving him a hug. She looked over his shoulder, Amber's eyes narrowed. She smirked back.
(confessional)
Georgia: With Jeremiah, Leilani, and Patricia being so close, I need an ally. Jeroboam is ideal. He's a sweet guy who obviously doesn't get much female attention. If Amber gets in the way, (she shrugs.) That's not my problem.
Static.
Amber: I know Georgia;s game. I've seen plenty of politicians use it. If she thinks I'll just sit by idly while she uses my friend, she has another thing coming.
Static
We see Chris in the cabin, wearing his pilot outfit."Juicy." He chuckled. "It's Sayonara from Japan. Where will our travel's take us next? Can Amber stop Georgia from using her friend? What other weird products does Chef want to sell? All these questions and many more probably won't be answered on the next episode of Total Drama World Tour!"
A/N: As you can see I've moved around some reward challenges. They felt really cluttered in the original season. So I'm trying to space them out more. Team Chris had to have some Melodramatic commercial, and as a fan of the first season I couldn't pass up the chance for Madison to try and direct the thing.
There was no way Team Misfit would lose this challenge. They have a director, an anime fan, two amazing actors, and a photographer with good editing skills. I didn't mean to make such a killer team for this challenge but I'm not complaining.
Is your OC still in character?
How's their balance?
Are they any good at jumping?
