"Last time on Total Drama: Diamond Lake, we finished off things in the Dark Forest. Our four hopefuls were joined by four losers in our biggest Redemption challenge yet, the Gyro Sweeper from the classic 2008 Wipeout. There were some hard hits, tough tumbles, sensational spills. But in the end, only three of them can claim their second chance at 5 million dollars. Tribal Chief Roman, Cheerful Twin Maybelle, and Small Boy Andrius.

We kick off the second half of the season, how will it go? Who will win? Who will lose? Find out tonight on...

Total.

Drama.

Diamond Lake!"

The camera opened up with a shot of the southern part of the island. The camera flew past Greg and went straight up into the sky and started to drop into the lake. "Dear mom and dad I'm doing fine, you guys are on my mind." The camera dropped down into the lake revealing Orion, who seemed to be looking for something.

"You asked me what I wanted to be and now I think the answer is plain to see." Orion rises up to get a breath of air, only to knock Brian off of his surfboard.

"I wanna be famous." The camera moved over to the eastern side of the Island, where Rose and Krystal were glaring at each other.

"I wanna live close to the sun." The camera then cut to the activity center behind the mess hall, where Grace was listening to Post play music.

"So pack your bags cause I've already won." The camera moved over to a different part of the Activity Center where it revealed Deena and Roman engaging in an intense arm-wrestling match.

"Everything to prove nothing in my way." The camera turned around and headed over to the mess hall while passing Paige, who seemed to be trying to talk to Andrius.

"I'll get there one day" The camera then went to the kitchen, where counselors DJ and Katie were fighting a slop monster.

Cause I wanna be famous." Inside the mess hall, Linka was trying not to gag at the food and Ryo was staring at it with no emotion in his eyes.

"Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na." The camera headed off to the western side of the island, and quickly showed off Johnny and Uma having a contest to see who the better eye candy is.

"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous. I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous." The camera stopped at Griff, who was giving Maybelle a piggyback ride, only for him to trip and fall into the water. The water cleared from the camera to show all of the campers around a bonfire whistling the tune.

Three days since the kart race, we saw Ryo looking over some of the files he had on the case. He was sitting on the bleacher as the girls here were playing some volley ball, Grace and Linka vs Uma and Rose.

Linka served it up to Grace, who went for a spike. Uma just managed to hit the ball as it was close to the ground, Rose then leaped up and kicked the ball with enough force to leave it a huge dent on her opponents' field. The two Grizzlies were stunned at the feat as Rose landed on her feet.

"Wow Rose, those were some nice moves." Grace said.

"So glad I got Blind Chuck Norris." Uma stated.

"Alright, its match point you guys." Linka tossed the ball to Rose.

The ball went over her head, "Okay, just toss it."

With Ryo, he looked in the distance to see a limo pull up at the camp entrance. "Looks like Krystal and Orion are back from the spa." he then made his way down. The girls watched him go, and decided to follow him.

The five reached the entrance just as Krystal and Orion had exited the limo, the former sighed in content "Ah, Ory and I had the most relaxing time at the spa. After 2 weeks of this game, I so needed that."

Uma walked up to the two, "Well, looks like you two had some fun on your trip."

"We did, who knew exfoliating mud baths and pedicures could be so fun?" Orion questioned, "I've been dealing with the worse calluses."

Uma scanned the two real thoroughly, "Aside from your glowing skin and fleshed out pores, you two smell different than when we last saw you. I have a feeling you two did more than just get pampered." her statement bringing bright blushes to the couple's face.

"Uma." Grace pulled her away from the couple, who were really uncomfortable with how the Vegas girl was feeling them up "Can you not think about sex every five seconds?"

"I'm telling you, they did a lot more on their trip than just get their nails done. I can smell it." Uma stated, she then wrapped her arms around the two, "You two can tell me all the details during lunch." Uma walked the two to the mess hall. "You two so owe me." she whispered to them.

"Help." the two pleaded to the others.

After lunch, the teens were all gathered at a big stage area right behind the activity field. "Campers, how have you guys been enjoying your time on the show?" Greg asked the contestants from center stage.

"Its alright." Grace shrugged.

"Its been, tolerable." Krystal let out as she and Orion held hands. Though the two were still in the clutches of Uma.

"Well, today there's gonna be a few changes." Greg's statement caused some confused murmurs, "First off, Grizzlies and Panthers. Consider yourselves, split." this brought a few gasps "That's right, the teams are no more."

"Well Grace, its been fun working with you." Linka said to the chillaxer.

"Same, not sure I can say the same for her." Grace pointed to Uma, who glared at her.

Ryo looked to Orion, "Though the Panthers are no more, we still have work as the Diamond Lake Investigation Squad."

"Noted." the male twin replied. Krystal gripped his hand harder, not wanting him to leave her as the teams have split.

"2nd." they turned to Greg, "There will be a few people joining you guys, you see... while you guys were in competition, the campers that you guys have voted off have been battling in several mini challenges in the hopes of a return to the game."

"What?" some of the kids questioned.

"So even if we were voted off, we still weren't done?" Rose asked.

"Nope, and in the last episode. We've determined which three competitors are coming back, first she's ball of energy with a fascination of boys and stuffed animals. She's the creator of Unicorn Juice, which is like Coffee and Nightmares had a baby. Maybelle!" Greg exclaimed as the curtains pulled back to reveal Orion's sister.

"HEY GUYS!"

"Maybelle!" Orion exclaimed before he was promptly glomped by his sister.

"ORION! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! I'M BACK IN THE GAME! Isn't that exciting?!" Maybelle shook him.

"Yeah uhhhhh" he said trying to get his vision back, "Nice to see you again." he was then squeezed in a spine breaking hug from Maybelle.

Greg then announced the next returnee. "Also coming back, he may not be able to get on any roller coasters, but like they say. Its not the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog. Coming after his 4th redemption challenge, please welcome... Andrius!"

The smallest contestant in the game came out, sending out a small wave. "Hey."

"Sup... And... drius." Orion let out as he was still being crushed by Maybelle.

"Who was he again?" Krystal asked, making the small boy sigh as he joined the cast.

"Okay, while most of might not know who Andrius is. I'm pretty sure none of you forgot about our last returning camper, after all he faced off against nearly every member of the Panthers and is the only man to ignore Uma's advances." Greg stated.

His words bringing looks of shock on some of the former Panthers and Uma, "No." the girl from Vegas pleaded as her eyes dilated.

"You don't mean." Orion said.

"Yep, please welcome. Roman!" Greg presented as the hulking brute came out on stage, drawing some gasps out of fear from the cast, minus Andrius, Maybelle, and Rose. The latter having a slight smile on her face.

(BZZT)

Orion: Oh crap! Roman? That guy nearly killed us back in the Awakethon!

Uma: Damn it! The one guy I couldn't seduce is back! Grrrrrrrrr!

Linka: He was the second person voted off, how did he survive for so long?

Maybelle: I still can't believe I'm back, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Andrius: Being back here, after getting kicked off... its just so surreal. The stuff I had to go through to get back, its just indescribable.

Rose: Well this is a surprise, but not a bad one. Bet Roman's gonna be begging for his rematch, I might even go easy on him.

(BZZT)

Roman walked up to the others, "Hey." he held up his hand for a high five, only to be met with scared jumps from nearly all the campers. "Oh." he sighed as he brought his hand down.

Andrius walked up to him, "Its okay Rome, they just need to get use to yah." the two then shared a fist bump, this bringing some confusion from the former Grizzlies.

Greg then continued, "Alright, now that we're all here. Time for a little something special." he said, bringing the attention from his players "As a reward for making it this far, we've decided to bring in each of your loved ones to visit you guys." this elated the players. "First, Grace. Come on up."

Grace stood up and climbed on stage.

"For your visit, we brought in your dad Randy, and your brothers; Fred, Ted, and Beauregard." Greg said as out came her father, who was a 7ft 2 burly man with hulking muscles, long red hair with a frizzy beard, flannel shirt, jeans held up with brown suspenders, and brown boots. The other three were all tweenage boys with short red hair and the same outfit as their dad.

To differentiate, Fred wears a red cap, Ted wears a fedora, and Beauregard wears a fluffy hat.

"Dad!" she exclaimed as she hugged her father and brothers.

"Grace, I haven't been this proud since you got your first C!" Randy cried as he crushed his daughter in a one arm hug.

"Grace! Grace! Grace!" her brothers chanted.

"Orion, Maybelle. You two come on up." the twins did so, but not before Krystal pecked her boyfriend on the cheek. "For you two, we brought out your Great Uncle Steve."

As Greg announced, a 5ft 8 old man in his 70's wearing a brown suit, fez, and brown loafers came running out. He panted, "Okay, pretty sure I lose them."

"Gruncle Steve!"

Steve was then swarmed by Orion and Maybelle, "Woah, hey easy on the old bones. Good to see you two kids, and if the police ask I was here the whole time."

"Noted." the twins said.

"Andrius, you're up next." The small boy came up on stage, "For you, we brought in your parents. Mary and Po." out come a 4ft 8 woman wearing a pink shirt, white apron, and black jeggings. She had some slight wrinkles to her face, as did her husband who wore an orange shirt and white shorts.

"Mom!" Andrius ran over and hugged her.

"Oh little Andry, its so good to see you again." Mary cooed as she returned the hug. The three joined the other families as Greg called the next person up.

"Rose, do you need some help?"

"No need." Rose said before she pulled herself up on the stage. "So who did you get for me? Don't say it was my dad."

"Well we tried, but he said he didn't want to see you unless its in your room." Greg said.

"Of course." Rose sighed.

"Instead, we went with the next best thing. You're grandpa, Norman." he turned to the side where a 6ft 4in 73 yead old man came out, his hair was short and white, same with his trimmed beard and mustache. He wore a black undershirt, jeans, and he too was barefoot. His eyes were the same as Rose, meaning he two was blind.

The two approached each other, "Been a while Rose." Norman said.

"It sure has." Rose replied, the two then clasped hands as their biceps flexed.

"Man, that old guy is shredded." Uma drooled at the old timer's muscles. "I wonder-"

"Don't even think about it." Linka told her as the blind family joined the other families.

"Linka, you're next." Linka went up on stage, "Now, for you. We brought in your favorite caretaker from your orphanage, Sherrie." Greg announced as out comes a 48 year old woman, 5ft 8 with a blue chef's outfit.

"Ms. Sherrie." Linka went up and hugged her.

"Hello Little Linka, oh how much you've grown." Sherrie cooed as she returned the hug.

"Krystal, you're up." the rich girl groaned as she dragged her feet up to center stage.

"Don't let it be parents, please don't let it be my parents." she begged to herself.

"Well lucky for you, its not." Greg told the rich girl "For they are currently at a rich person party, so instead we brought in your head butler. Reginald." Out from the curtain came a 6ft 7 40 year old man with a white busy mustache, and a tuxedo.

Krystal sighed in relief before going over to hug the butler, who patted her on the head. "Thanks for coming Reggie."

"The pleasure is all mine Miss Krystal, and I must say its quite nice to see you've buried the hatchet with the Palmers twins." Reggie said, "Especially that Orion fellow." Krystal blushed at that as she and Reggie joined the others, "Master Orion and Miss Maybelle."

"Hi Reggie!" Maybelle greeted the old butler with a handshake.

"Oh, too bad your dad couldn't come." Orion chuckled in fake disappointment.

"Its kind of better this way." Krystal said.

"Uma, if you will." the girl from the city of sin climbed on stage. "For you we brought your sister."

Out of the curtains came a girl who looked similar to Uma, but with a black dress with a bat pattern, and black slip-ons. She and Uma glared daggers, "Uma." the new girl sneered.

"Ursula." Uma retorted.

The two sisters just walked off to the side, "Ok, Ryo." the detective came up on stage. "For you we had a bit of a challenge, but it took a lot of precautions. But we brought in your caretaker, who's asked to be called Watagi." Greg then brought another elderly looking man, with combed over white hair, a big white mustache in a grey suit.

Ryo went over to Watagi, the old man greeted "Ah Ryo, I'm so glad you're doing well on this show. I assume things are going well on the case?"

"Yep, and you will not believe the things I found." Ryo told him, "Well I had a little help as well, let me introduce you to my friends." Ryo and Watagi went off to where the others were. "This is Orion." the pale teen introduced, "He's my second in command."

"Hey, um... Watagi." Orion said as he shook hands with the latest old timer, "This is my sister Maybelle and my Gruncle Steve."

"Oh I know all about your... 'Gruncle'." Watagi sent a glare to Steve, who looked away with a nervous whistle.

"Steve what did you do?" Maybelle whispered in concern.

"What didn't I do?" he whispered back.

Greg then looked to the final person, "And the last but not least, Roman." Roman slowly stood up and walked up on stage, he was a little worried about who they got to visit him. Wondering how the others will react, "Roman, we got two people who have been very excited to meet you."

Roman sighed, "Just bring em out here."

"Jimmy, Jey... come on out." Greg called.

Out from the curtains came two certain little boys, the ones who weren't in the Dark Forest were stunned to see the two little balls of sunshine. But what really shocked the ones who did know who they are, was what they heard...

..."Daddy!" the kids cheered as they ran towards Roman who leaned down to take the two in for a family hug. Roman felt tears coming as he held the two kids close to him.

Jimmy and Jey are twins, both wearing black shirts and pants along with black sneakers. Jimmy wears a headband while Jey wore a black cap.

"DADDY!" Everyone gasped.

"Jimmy... Jey... can't believe you guys are here." Roman let out as he broke the hug.

"Bewieve it Uce!" Jey stated.

"We saw you in your challenges, you were cool!" Jimmy said.

Watching this scene, the others were starting to put together why Roman was the way he was.

(BZZT)

Andrius: They were his kids? I just thought they were little brothers or cousins. No wonder he was so desperate to get back in the game.

Maybelle: Aw, his boys were so cute. I just want to pinch their cheeks.

Ryo: Roman's a teen dad... that I didn't see coming.

(BZZT)

"Alright, now that everyone has met their loved ones. Let me fill in you on tonight's challenge." the campers and their loved ones looked to the host, "At 8pm tonight, we will be hosting the first ever Diamond Lake Family Talent Show! Where you and your family will be showing off any special skills you may have. Whether it be singing, dancing, juggling, anything goes. Also, you'll be playing for a reward. An all expenses paid trip to Busch Gardens."

The reward brought out some cheers from the campers and their families.

"You guys will have about..." Greg checked his watch, "4 hours and 42 minutes to prepare what act you will be performing, so go get ready to perform." he then turned to the camera, "And you guys get ready for more TDDL, right after these messages."
