Last time on Total Drama Preview; We move to the movie lot to begin Total Dram Action with an expanded cast, not including my son. My guy brought the new contestants, Jo, B, Dawn from Revenge of the Island, and also Max and Rodney from the final season of Total Drama…for now. But not only are there new members for the show but now new members to watch with us. Except for Rodney since he was stuck with farm stuff at home so his lost.
Both cast members mingle and we find out B was actually friends with my boy, (small world huh?) Max started to look up at Naruto who showed him a true evil laugh. *Sniff* I'm so proud.
But we also see that Dawn was brave enough to not only sit next to an agitated Heather but have a few conversations and even shared snacks. I will admit I didn't see this coming.
We watch everyone scramble in the first challenge, see some of our cast members aren't all there and how much I missed messing with these kids. In the end, we see the boys win thanks to Own and his iron stomach but choose the wrong prize before we messed with them some more.
Now we move into the new season and plenty of challenges and more important, Drama! How will the new cast members change the season up? Will we see Naruto bring some good drama to enjoy and will Heather have some more competition? Find out right now on Total…Drama…Preview!
Welcome to the season of spooky stories, scares, and treats. Yes, October is upon us and as a treat a new chapter of TDP. Things have been busy with work with long days and short staff but thankfully it's not as bad as it could be. Will be working on some of my other stories after this so check out the new poll to pick what will be next. Hopefully before Halloween but I know I am not that lucky. Nothing left to say but to say, Ready…Set…Action!
Disclaimer; I do not own anything from TD nor from Naruto. I am simply using the story of What a Dramatic Life to make a nice little story with the author's permission.
The screen lit up to show the cast in front of the trailers where interns were rebuilding them.
"Since we're waiting for the interns to finish repairing these trailers, we will start our next challenge." Chris chuckled at the upset castmates as he walks away from them, "See you after lunch."
"Another one?!" Jo glared at the retreating host.
"He did that on the first day when we were on the island." DJ said as the former campers nodded, "Sometime we will have two or three challenges a day…rarely, I must add."
"Great!" The jockette said sarcastically.
"You all love it!" Chris announced to them all. "I should do it more often."
"I hope Kushina breaks your ass," Heather replied, crossing her arms in annoyance.
The host shivered and glanced at Kushina who gave him a smile that didn't help his worry. He was hoping that his counterpart didn't screw things up with his son. He was sure his guy wouldn't play favorites since it was his job, but he was confident if he was anything like his mother, he can handle this season.
(Craft Service Tent)
"Sandwiches and sausages for lunch?" Heather blinked at the good foods as Chef placed them on her tray, "What's going on?"
"Just a little thing for you guys to remember before I serve you the regular tomorrow." The cooker smirked cruelly, "You better savor them while you can." The paled queen bee walks away from the psycho cooker.
Chef scoffed, "it's better to give them hope before you knock them back down."
"This is why we are a good team chef," Chris said, his grin not falling as he watched.
Chef nodded even if he recalled there were problems with his pay this season. He then noticed the concerned look on Kushina's face he added, in a softer tone so the others wouldn't hear him, "(The brat) and his friends should be fine. Not only does he like the food I make no matter how it is done but while I can make it not the tastiest and might upset some weak stomachs, there isn't any chance of food poison."
Kushina nodded, feeling a bit better.
"Can I have more sandwiches?" DJ asked with a smile, only to receive a growl from Chef, and the Jamaican giant gulps as he slowly walked toward the table.
"I forget how hungry I got last month eating on Chris' wrecked schedule," Duncan grunted.
"I know." Gwen sighed, "It got to the point, where I'd kill for Chef's disgusting food." The goth girl glanced at the cooker, "No offense, Chef."
"None taken," Chef muttered as he dropped her food on the floor and Gwen sighed.
Heather got a smirk on her face "so are you gutsy or just stupid enough to say that to his face and not expect him to do something like that?"
Gwen just flipped her the bird as her answer.
"You can have my extra sandwich if you want, dattebayo." Naruto chuckled, witnessing everything from his seat as the goth girl sit in front of him.
"And you can have my burned sausage, big mouth." The punk said, he never really liked burned meat.
"Thank, guys…" Gwen glanced at Duncan with a smirk as she point at his stomach, "Judging from that gut, I thought you'd be all over the extra carbs."
"Ha-ha, nice." The punk chuckled.
Courtney gave a loud huff, getting Duncan to roll his eyes, "it is just some extra food I didn't want to someone that had the balls to mouth off to Chef. If it was you I would have done the same thing."
"I'm sure," Courtney said, not believing him.
"You can have my sandwich, Gwen." Trent smiled as he sat down next to her and he doesn't even hear a soft groan from the goth girl. She better tell him soon because he was starting to get on her nerves and she don't know how long it will be until she blow up.
Max glanced around the table before fixing his glance on Rodney, sitting next to him, and rubbing his chin. "You are Rodney, correct?" The aspiring villain asked as the country boy nodded, "You look strong enough to be my minion. If we end up on the same team in the future, do you want to form an alliance with me?"
"Me? Um…" Rodney scratched his cheek before he makes a goofy grin, "Sure! Oh, what's minion by the way?"
"Excellent!" Max laughed evilly, only to cough roughly as the country boy patted his back.
Max rubbed his hands with glee, "yes! My counterpart will have an excellent minion for his plans." He sighed, "if only I was that lucky."
"Was he a part of your team when you were on the show?" Beth asked. "If he was on the other team then it can be easy to see why you couldn't get him as a minion."
Max rubbed his chin in thought. "I honestly don't recall. Either way, I am sure I could get a new future minion and learn from my counterpart's mistakes."
"You can learn from your mistakes?" Lindsay asked as if it never accrued to her. "You must be really smart."
Max blinked, not sure if he was insulted or not. Eventually, he simply said, "thank you."
Chef was about to hand the tray to Owen but the oaf waved it away with a groan. "No sandwich and sausage for me, Chef, I'll just have this…" Owen gagged as he grabs the bowl, "Nice bowl of prunes." His sentence caused everyone, besides the new contestants, in the tent to gasp at the oaf as Owen glanced around, "What?"
"Sorry dude," Geoff said as he scratched the cheek. "But hearing you turning down food, normal food in fact was kinda out of character for you."
"I get it," Owen admitted. "I just remembered that the last challenge really clogged me up."
(Confessional)
"My, uh, plumbing's been clogged since I ate all those fake food props." Owen winced, "Pressure built-up's killing me…Ugh, come on, Colon!" The oaf struggled, "Don't fail me now!" There was a muffled fart, "Oh, I hear bells!"
The cast grimaced as while they are used to his antics and habits, they don't want to be reminded of them. They were just thankful that they didn't have to breathe it in anymore.
Chris strolls in with a pink beret hat and sunglasses as he grins at the castmates. "Are you ready for your second challenge?" The host smirked before he announced again to prevent anyone's comment, "Alright then. Second challenge's movie genre, aliens! Our unpaid interns have been hard at work figuring out what makes an alien movie successful…"
"How many interns do you have, dattebayo?" Naruto raised one of his eyebrows.
"That's a secret." Chris smirked as he gestured at the cooker, "Chef? What are the rules of Alien movies?"
"You got three basic rules." Chef started to explain as he stirred the soup, "Aliens want to take over the world and start making lots of baby aliens, people fight back and the military is called." He flicked the glob of food away, not caring if it just hit Owen's face, and glared at his boss. "Yo, Chris, where's my paycheck at?!"
Chef growled at glared at Chris. He recalled how his co-worker/friend(?) gave him a hard time with his pay. He didn't mind using his skills to mess with the maggots as he found that fun but he ain't doing no charity work damnit. Chris pulled at his collar, hoping that his counterpart wouldn't get on Chef's bad side…again.
"Um…It's in the mail." Chris chuckled nervously with shifty eyes as Chef's glare hardened, "Your challenge…Find an alien egg and return to home base before momma alien finds you. The two fastest get to pick the teams this season."
"Sorry, losers, but no one knows alien movies the way I do." Duncan bragged, "The more obscure, the better."
"I'm gonna blend up those aliens and have them for breakfast," Gwen smirked.
"Dude, Alien Chucks is my favorite alien movie of all time." The punk crossed his arms with a small smirk.
"Me too." The goth girl replied, "I've seen it twenty-seven times."
"Fifty-three," Duncan smirked.
"You'll be tough to beat, but I have my lucky charm," Gwen smirked, rubbing her hidden necklace.
"I like that movie where the aliens take over the government." Trent jumps in as he starts to speak in an alien voice, "Take me to your leader."
Trent facepalmed, completely embarrassed with himself seeing it from the other side. Gwen patted his back, knowing he didn't mean anything by it.
Duncan shakes his head at the musician, "Dude, you are so going down."
"It was a good movie, right?" Trent glanced at the goth girl, "Gwen?" The said girl really doesn't know how to get out of it.
"You know, my favorite movie is Killer Klowns from Outer Space, dattebayo." Naruto spoke up after noticing Gwen's discomfort, "What about you, Bri-chan?"
"Hmm…" Bridgette tilted her head, "I'll say Slither."
Heather rolled her eyes when she heard the answer for Naruto's counterpart, "of course you would have that as your favorite. You probably do more damage to those clowns."
"True dattebayo," Naruto agreed with a laugh. He then glanced at Dawn, "how about you Dawn? Do you have a favorite alien movie?"
"War of the Worlds," Dawn admitted to the surprise of the others. "It's where Nature was the real key to victory."
"Yo, Chris, you got some laser-shooting monster playing mama alien?" DJ raised his hand in the air with a worried expression.
"Not quite." Chris chuckled as Chef walked up to them in his alien costume, "You call that slime? Make-up! More slimes over here!" The slime drops all over the cooker and everyone glanced at the ceiling with a confused expressions.
"I hate my life…" Chef mumbled to himself.
"Oh please," Chris said with a scoff, "you love torturing the kids as much as I do."
"Doesn't mean I want to be covered in slime!" Chef added, pounding his armrest.
"Here are your GPS devices complete with maps of the film lot." The host tossed the said objects to several of the castmates, "Find the alien eggs, but be careful because you all are on Chef's menu." The castmates gulps after hearing Chef laughed evilly behind them.
(Science Fiction Set)
The castmates wander around for a while and check their GPS device. "Hey, follow me!" Izzy grinned, "I know aliens, uh-huh. I've been abducted a lot of times. There's a tracking device in my neck, see?"
"Does it hurt?" Harold asked.
"Only when I hiccup…" The crazy girl hiccupped, wincing at the electric shock.
"Uuh!" Leshawna shivered, "Can you feel that? It's like there's something in here cold as ice with no soul." A stream shot out of the vent, startled some of them and Harold jumped into Leshawna's arms. The nerd fluttered his eyes at the sassy girl before she drops him on the floor. "I kept telling you that you're not my type." Leshawna scoffed, walking away from the nerd.
Harold didn't seem offended as he knew his counterpart would win her over sooner or later.
(Confessional)
"I'm pretty sure that I'm starting to get through to her." Harold sighed dreamily, "I saw the way she looks at me, it's like she's unpantsing me with her eyes."
Leshawna rolled her eyes, "you're dreaming boy."
*Static*
"Fifty bucks that the nerd will cry a lot." Chris chuckled and Chef nodded at him.
"That's a sucker's bet dattebane," Kushina pointed out, not noticing the protest from Harold.
"Then how about who makes him cry the most?" Chris suggested to make it more interesting.
Chef rubbed his chin, "I'm down with that. I say either Chris or I will be the ones."
"My money is on Naruto or Heather, dattebane!" Kushina agreed with a grin.
Chris snapped his fingers since his top pick was taken. "In that case, I say either Leshawna, Duncan or Courtney will be it."
"Deal," the other two adults said.
Harold could only sit in his seat, gapping at them for their total lack of confidence in his counterpart.
=line
"How come we are the only dots on the screen?" Heather snarled as she shook her device around, "Where's Chef?"
"How did you get in our group?" Justin asked and some castmates facepalmed.
"…There are no groups yet!" The queen bee rolled her eyes, "Plus, there was only one way we can go."
Heather groaned, "I hope he isn't on my team again."
"I see that was a win," Justin said with a shrug, not seeing a downside to that.
"Move!" Jo barked, "You are blocking the way!"
"This girl better not be on my team," Heather growled, earning a chuckle from Naruto. The castmates kept walking on until they hear a lowly growl and stop in their track.
"Shh," Gwen warned them as Owen farted with a huge grin.
"Oh, yeah! First one! Smell it…" He glanced at the glaring castmates, "Sorry."
"Sorry," Owen whispered, knowing that it wasn't the time for that.
"What is that?" Trent gulped, the lowly growl echoed again.
"Chris, is that you?" Leshawna scowled.
"It must be Chef." Duncan whispered, "You wanna run or you wanna kick some alien ass?"
"Let's kick some alien butt!" The goth girl cheered before she frowned at the musician as he cleared his throat, "Yes, Trent?"
"Yeah, let's kick some alien butt." Trent smiled awkwardly.
Trent grimaced, "was I that bad?"
"No," Gwen answered somewhat honestly. "I think it is because of the issues they are having that is making it seem worst."
"So who's going first?" Harold gulped, glancing at the castmates and B open his mouth, only to be cut off by Jo.
"I'm going first!" The jockette snorted, "You guys are such a wimp." She turns around the corner and blinked at the source of the growl. "…It's just slacker," Jo called out to her castmates and everyone blinked as they turn around the corner to see snoozing party boy.
"Huh?" said boy muttered as he looked at his counterpart in confusion. "I don't remember being that tired when we did this challenge."
"That's because you and your girlfriend were always making out every chance you had," Noah reminded him. "I'm honestly surprised Bridgette isn't doing it with her boyfriend now."
The blond surfer blushed at the reminder that her counterpart was dating someone else. Naruto also blushed, hoping they wouldn't be caught doing anything like that. Heather however was seething at the reminder and planned on getting back on the surfer if she dared started to just make out with him during a challenge and get her idiot voted off. The fact that Naruto wasn't dating anyone didn't even register in her mind.
"Geoff, dude." Duncan sighed as he woke Geoff up, "We have a challenge to do!"
"Oh, right, I forget." Geoff chuckled.
"Enough messing around, we got alien eggs to capture." Gwen rolled her eyes.
"Well we can guess who is getting kicked out," Jo muttered, happy she didn't have to deal with that during her time on the show.
(Confessional)
"I wasn't worried about Chef, alien costume or not, I mean, I did place second last season." Gwen smirked as she crossed her arms, "I know exactly what I'm doing."
"You sure about that?" Heather asked with a smirk.
Gwen didn't bother answering her as she knew she messed up. The fact the show showed this confessional just rubbed salt in the wound with her jinxing it.
The goth girl glances at her device as it beeps rapidly and looks up at her group. "Good thing we're all lined up in a row, huh?" Gwen muttered sarcastically.
"Yeah, ready for Chef to pick us off one at a time," Trent replied.
"Danger, danger, danger!" The mechanical voice spoke out of the GPS device.
"Let's get out of here!" Heather cried out.
"Which way do we go?" Justin asked nervously.
"North is nice, but east is least, west is fast," Lindsay said with a smile.
"Can't argue with that, we don't even know how to," Leshawna muttered before some of the castmates split up from the main group.
Max opened his mouth to ask about Linsday's suggestion but Beth just shook her head. The future evil overlord decided he had better things to do than question how Lindsay's mind works.
"The map says the boiler room is east of here." Gwen checked her GPS device.
"Alien eggs are always in the boiler room," Duncan smirked.
"Oh, yeah, totally!" Trent stammered, "East it is!" They also split from the main group.
"Um…Do we follow them?" Owen asked his group.
"No, we don't!" Jo growled as she snatched Heather's device, "We're going this way!" Some of the castmates followed her.
"Hey!" The queen bee shouted at the jockette and crossed her arms with a growl, she don't want to waste her time going after this girl.
"Snooze you lose girly!" Jo shouted confidently.
Heather didn't respond but smirked as she recalled that Duncan and Gwen were right about where the eggs were. She only had to wait until Jo's actions backfired on her.
"Well…I think we'll head for the boiler room, dattebayo." Naruto chuckled as some of his teammates nodded, "Let's go!" They ran off, never noticing that they were leaving a snoozing party boy behind before the alien cooker shows up and take Geoff out.
"I swear that the maggots are getting lazier lately," Chef grunted.
Chef grunts in agreement, "I'd still take this over coming up on the two maggots making out."
"But they lived up to the trope of the horny couple that ends up dying because of their actions," Chris pointed out.
Chef just grunts again, hoping that his godson wasn't dumb enough to do that during a challenge.
(Jo's Group)
The group froze up at the sound of Geoff's scream before Jo grunted out, "Snap out of it, just focus on finding the egg!"
"Um…Which way is the boiler room again?" Owen asked.
"It must be this way." Harold pointed at the east before he jumped at the sound of a thump, "Did anyone else hear that?!" Jo, Owen, and Izzy gulped at the nerd, confusing him before he feels someone tapping his shoulder and turns around to see Chef.
"Say hello to eternity!" The cooker smirked and fired the paintball gun at the nerd, knocking him back.
"Nice one-liner," Chris complimented, laughing at not only the hit but the fact the other kids on screen were panicking.
"I'm hit!" Harold groaned, "I'm hit!"
Owen stared at the downed nerd and his stomach starts to gurgle loudly. "Ah! It's time!" The oaf whimpered as he ran to the cooker, "Take me out, I beg you! It's an emergency!" Chef shrugged his shoulders and fired his gun at the oaf. "Oh, thank you! Thank you! Make way!" Owen cried out, charging for the bathroom.
"Honestly I probably dodged a bullet there," Chef admitted, even if he was planning on shooting him anyways.
(Confessional)
"Oh, man, I didn't think I was going to make it." Owen moaned, "But this bowel never let me down. Great job, guys!" He grinned before his eyes widened at the sound of a fart, "Oh, I think there's more…COMING THROUGH!"
*Static*
An intern curled up on the chair, sobbing to himself with a plunger in his hand.
Chris gave an annoyed sigh, "we lose more interns in the early seasons like that. We even were forced to add 'hazardous gas' on future contracts."
"But for good reason dattebane," Kushina pointed out.
"Bring it on, you dumbass alien!" Jo scowled, rolling her sleeves up.
"One of us isn't getting out of here clean." Izzy pulls out a mini paintball gun.
"…Where the fuck did you get that from?" The jockette blinked at the crazy girl.
"For your sanity, it's best not to question where Izzy gets anything," Cody suggested to the new girl since she didn't have much exposure to Izzy.
"Noted" Jo grunts, eyeing the giggling girl in question.
"You call that a paintball gun?" Chef chuckled evilly as he tossed his gun away before he pulls out a huge paintball gun, "This is a paintball gun!"
"Fun! I love this game!" Izzy giggled and pull out a bigger paintball gun.
"…Again, where the fuck did you get these from?!" Jo blinked at them and pick up the tossed mini paintball gun.
"If I can handle hand-to-paw combat with a polar bear, I can handle a bald, emotionally withdrawn cooker in a Halloween costume." The crazy girl taunted.
"Ha, you got that right!" The jockette snickered.
"Who you calling a cooker?!" Chef roared, fired his gun at them and they jumped out of the way before firing their gun at the cooker.
"That's what you had issues with dattebane?" Kushina asked him with a raised brow.
Chef shrugged, "I'm bald and I make it work. I got PTSD from the army so I know I am emotionally withdrawn. But my title is 'chef' not cooker, I worked hard to master my skills and won't have some weak-ass title undermined that."
Kushina hummed at this, "fair enough."
He sucks his stomach in, dodging the paintballs, and fired his gun several times. Izzy dodged most of them, never noticing that some of them hit Jo in the face, and the crazy girl glanced up to see one of the paintballs hit her in the chest, sending her flying across the catwalk.
"Oh, oh…" Chef glanced at the motionless crazy girl, "Not again!" He jumped in the air as the crazy flipped up on her feet with an insane laugh, "I thought you were dead!"
"I swear that crazy maggot will give me a heart attack one day," Chef adds with a huff. "Make me go too far and do something I can't take back."
"Yeah, I get that a lot." Izzy waved it away with a grin and walk away with a grumbling jockette.
Jo scowled at seeing her counterpart lose like that. She preferred doing out swinging but the crazy girl had to ruin that.
(Naruto's Group)
The redhead scratched his head, staring at the fork paths, and turns his head back to his group. "Does anyone remember the way, dattebayo?" Naruto asked since none of them had the GPS device with them.
"We should go this way." Heather pointed at the right path.
"No, take the left path." Dawn glanced at them, "It's safer than the right path."
"Really? Why not the right path?" The redhead tilted his head.
"It's because I have a feeling that something bad will happens if we take this path." The petite girl replied and some castmates glanced at each other.
"Oh right," Jo muttered recalling something, "I heard that you did seem to have some sort of weird feelings during that one challenge with the trapped snowballs."
Dawn just nodded, not giving any further explanation B looked like he was about to say something when Izzy lends towards Dawn. "Oh, that is so cool. Did you get experimented on too to get those powers?"
"No I wasn't experimented on," she told them, not looking like Izzy said anything crazy.
"Pfft, I don't trust your guts." Max muttered as he takes the right path with the nervous country boy, "I'm positive that path will guide us to victory."
"I can't believe that I'm saying that but I'm with him." Heather follow them with a grumble and Dawn cast her eyes down before someone placed a hand on her shoulder, causing her to look up to see the smiling redhead.
"Let's take the left path, dattebayo." Naruto chuckled as B nodded, "I trust your feelings."
"Yeah, I'm with him." Bridgette smiled.
"…Thank." The petite girl nods.
Dawn was surprised to hear someone listen to her advice even if her facial expression didn't change. She did however nod and said, "thank you."
(Heather's Group)
The queen bee's group walks into a large room and blinked at Justin's group as they walk in. "Oh great!" Heather scoffed, "We just went in a circle…Ugh, I should have listened to the hippy girl."
Heather raised a brow and glanced at Dawn, wondering if she had unexplained abilities like her idiot, how animals acted so lovingly around him.
"We're happy to see you again," Leshawna said sarcastically.
"Um…How did we get here?" Lindsay glanced at the model.
"If we knew, we wouldn't be lost." Justin sighed.
"You are so smart, Josh, and gorgeous like O!" The bombshell smiled.
"Ow," Justin muttered with a small wince, "that one actually hurt a little."
This got a few chuckled at the teen model but no one paid it much mind.
"…She's not bright, huh?" Max whispered to the queen bee.
"Yep." She nodded before everyone jumped in the air as the doors closed on them with a slam.
"I hate to be the bearer of big bad alien news, but I think this must be a trap." The sassy girl gulped and everyone gathered together in fear before they screamed out as the slimes rained down on them.
Chef gave an evil chuckle, happy to see so many maggots get caught like that.
(Boiler Room)
"Wow, Dawn, you're right about the left path, dattebayo." Naruto chuckled as his group walked into the boiler room and waved at Gwen's group, standing over the pit of eggs.
Max hummed and pulled out a small tape recorder, "memo to me; look into the possible powers of the cast member named Dawn."
"Hey, Whiskers." Duncan waved back, "Did you run into Chef?"
"Nah, we don't." The redhead replied before the punk's device warned them of an incoming momma alien.
"Quick, lower me down!" Gwen shouted as DJ and Naruto ran to her and lower her down to grab one of the eggs, only to have it shattered in her hands. "Ugh, aren't there enough plastic props?!" The goth groaned as she grabbed another one gently.
"It's not my fault you don't respect a movie's budget and break their props for no good reason," Chris said in a sassy tone.
Gwen glared but didn't fall for the bait.
=line
"Did everyone have one?" Bridgette asked and everyone nodded at her with eggs in their hands. The group glanced at the door at the sound of the alarm and noticed that Chef was peeking out behind it with an evil smirk. Before they know it, DJ, Bridgette, and B got hit by the paintballs.
"Run!" Trent shouted, running away from the alien cooker with the remaining castmates.
"Save yourselves!" DJ wailed out as the surfer girl patted his back and B just wiped the paint off his jacket.
B snapped his fingers as he saw his counterpart taken out. "Nice try man," Naruto said, offering his friend a fist bump which he returned.
(Film Lot)
The five castmates ran out of the science fiction set and skidded on their feet at the sound of the host's voice. "Attention, civilians, the military is here to protect you." Chris chuckled as he piloted his helicopter, "Unfortunately, we can't let you leave with any alien eggs."
"But we are supposed to take the alien eggs, that's what you said!" Trent shouted with a glare.
"Right, I did!" The host laughed and just dropped the slime bombs at them.
Chris rolled his eyes, "and you should also know the military will always have one of two objections: either quotient and destroy all traces of aliens or capture any technology or samples to be used to make weapons. I was doing my job properly."
"Incoming!" Duncan shouted before the group jumped away as the bombs landed and exploded all over, coating everything in slime.
"Glad I don't have to clean that up." Chris chuckled and the punk climbs on his feet, checking himself to see that he was covered in slime. He glanced around and sees that Dawn was also covered in slime, except for Gwen, Naruto, and Trent.
"Does that mean we're out?" Duncan sighed.
"Too bad, so sad." The goth girl joked, "More money for me."
"Uh-hoo, down for the count." The punk clutched his chest playfully.
Courtney made a disgruntled noise seeing this while Duncan rolled his eyes.
"Better luck next time, dattebayo," Naruto said to Dawn.
Heather nodded, "you did well for your first real challenge. With Idiot and my counterpart you could be a great help."
"I will try my best," Dawn promised, not noticing the surprised look the others were giving them.
"Better luck next time, dude, dattebayo." The redhead chuckled, "You too, Dawn."
"Thank you." The petite girl wiped the slime out of her hair and glanced at the frowning musician as he stared at the laughing punk and goth girl.
Gwen glanced around before she gives out a gasp, "Oh no, our alien eggs!"
"There it is!" Duncan jerked his head at the rocking egg on top of the plank.
"I'm on it!" Trent ran toward to get the egg before anyone does and the goth girl rubbed her neck, noticing that something was missing.
"My necklace, it's gone!" Gwen gasped and the redhead scanned around before he noticed something near the grate, it was the necklace. He glanced up to see Trent kept running to the egg, it turns out that the musician didn't hear the goth girl's cry. Naruto widened his eyes, noticing that the necklace was slipping into the grate, and ran toward it.
Trent and Gwen winced, both for the fact one counterpart didn't hear and the other for fear of their counterpart might lose their favorite necklace.
"Got it!" Naruto shouted as he grabbed it and skidded on his side, it was close call.
"Oh, thank you!" Gwen hugged him with a sigh of relief as she put her necklace back on, "I don't know what I would do without it."
Both teens sighed, happy that it wasn't lost. Gwen gave Naruto a grateful smile, "thanks for that."
"Yeah, great work dude," Trent agreed.
Naruto rubbed the back of his head and chuckled, "not a problem."
Heather rolled her eyes but knew it was just something her idiot would do. While she wished it wasn't to Gwen it was still something she can see him doing.
"Welcome." The redhead chuckled as he feels his hidden necklace, "I know how you feel if I lose mine."
"Hey, can you believe it?" Trent smiled as he walked toward them with two eggs, "There was an extra egg under the plank…Here." The musician handed one of the eggs to the goth girl, never noticing a frown from the said girl, "Race you to the base!" He ran off and she was about to give up until…
"Go." Naruto smiled at her, "If I remember correctly, the winners with eggs will pick their own team, and if…"
"If we both have eggs, we won't be on the same team!" Gwen smiled as she ran off, "Thanks for reminding me!"
Trent and Gwen winced again, recalling their counterparts' issues were still strained. "this is going to get awkward, isn't it?" Trent asked the goth.
"Oh if Chris has his way then without a doubt."
"You're not going after them?" Duncan asked with a raised eyebrow, "Don't you wanna win?"
"Hmm, Nah!" The redhead chuckled and the punk rolled his eyes, sometime his redhead friend can be so unpredictable.
(Trailers)
The slimed castmates sat around, waiting for anyone to show up and some of them smiled as Gwen and Trent ran to the base. "We have our two winners, our only two winners, the rest of you stank!" Chris chuckled as Naruto, Duncan, and Dawn joined the group, "As our winners, Gwen and Trent will now be able to pick their teams which means they will be competing against each other this season."
"Ah, dude, no!" The musician gasped as the goth girl sighed softly, "You can't do that!"
"…Don't you hear me early?" The host pitched his nose bridge, "I did say that the two fastest get to pick the teams this season."
"Oh right," Chris muttered as he recalled that. "My guy did say that. I would have left it a surprise but it led to some good drama so we still win."
"I hope Naruto and Heather will be on the same team this time, dattebane," Kushina said hopefully.
"Me too," Chris agreed. "I know our boy will dominate this season and with his best friend, we will get plenty of drama. Both on the same team will make it so much easier."
"…You did?" Trent blinked.
"He did!" Everyone rolled their eyes.
"Okay, I want everyone to vote off one cast member in the most thrilling Gilded Chris ceremony first. After casting your votes, Gwen and Trent, you have to pick the teams before we start our ceremony." Chris announced.
"Wait, that'll put one team at disadvantage!" Harold gasped with his castmates.
"Yes, I know!" The host chuckled, "It's more interesting that way because you don't know which team will have one less member!"
"Fuck that's a good move," Duncan said, hating that fact he was impressed.
Chris rubbed his hands with glee, "oh I wish I had thought of that."
After they cast their votes, Chris had the castmates lined up in front of Trent and Gwen. "It's time to pick your team then try to stick it against each other's team." The host announced with a sadistic smirk.
"We're not gonna get all competitive and nasty, are we?" The musician glanced at the goth girl.
"Um…Maybe." Gwen shrugged.
"Okay, let's get this bloodbath started!" Chris grinned, "You're gonna choose schoolyard style, boy, girl, boy, girl…Ladies first…Since we have no ladies here, Gwen!"
The goth rolled her eyes, "hilarious."
"I know I am!"
"Um…I don't know…" The goth girl glanced at the boys, "Naruto."
"Uhh!" Trent gasped, watching the redhead give his crush a high-five.
Trent winced as he knew his counterpart would be jealous. Seeing Gwen's uncomfortable look he admitted, "while I will no doubt be jealous, I can see why. I'm sure he would have been a top pick for anyone."
"Duh," Heather said as though it was oblivious. It didn't help that she didn't like the fact Gwen was on his team again as she knew the goth had feelings for her idiot even if she denied it.
(Confessional)
"I can't believe she just went ahead and chose Naruto." Trent sweated with shifty eyes, "I mean, they are getting along very well lately and she wants to be on the same team? What am I supposed to make that?" He frowned, "You think you know a person."
*Static*
"The boy is losing it." Chris rolled his eyes, "I think he just forget that Naruto is with Bridgette…Which is awesome! Think of all the drama!" He laughed evilly.
Trent facepalmed hard as he forgot about that and knew his counterpart will too. It didn't make him feel any better about what was about to happen next.
"I choose…" Trent growled, "The beautiful Lindsay!"
"Yay!" The bombshell skipped innocently to his side.
"Subtle," Gwen teased.
"Yeah, I wasn't thinking," Trent admitted. "I mean here I could also get Duncan."
(Confessional)
"Gee, that was low." Gwen huffed, "It's so oblivious that he is trying to make me jealous…Ugh, it's getting hard to try to tell him that I don't like him any more now because there's a good chance he'll snap."
Trent winced as did Gwen, they both knew this season was going to be hard to watch.
"Hmm…Since I like to keep things cool, I pick Leshawna." Gwen smiled.
"The girls are back in town!" The sassy girl gives her teammates high-fives.
"Oh, you know what would be so great, is if you pick O!" Lindsay bounced, wanting to be with her boyfriend and the musician rubbed his chin.
"Um…Sure, Owen!" Trent nodded, it's better to have the winner of last season on your team.
"Whoo-hoo!" The oaf hugged them together with a cheer.
"Duncan." The goth girl called out.
Trent snapped his fingers at his counterpart's mistake. Even if they weren't dating he knew that would mess with him even more.
(Confessional)
"Oh, come on!" Trent groaned as he buried his face in his hands, "Why did she pick him? They are so alike!"
Courtney shot a smirk at the pair while Duncan rolled his eyes. Gwen however had a rebuttal, "maybe because he's tough and good at challenges."
"That's fair," Trent agreed. "That was mostly my jealousy talking."
"Bridgette," Trent smirked at Naruto but the redhead never noticed it as he kissed his surfer girlfriend.
"Don't worry, it won't change anything." Naruto smiled at her and Bridgette nodded but she kept worrying about someone stealing him away from her since they are on different teams now.
Gwen was about to call someone out before Leshawna whispered to her, "Remember…Keep your enemies closer."
"No…Really?" The goth girl gulped, "You don't mean…" The sister nodded, "Fine…We choose Heather."
"Really? Yes!" Heather smirked at the worried surfer girl as she joins Gwen's team and take hold of her childhood friend's arm. "It's about time we're on the same team."
"Finally," Heather said with a huff. "Now we can rule this season properly."
"Yeah, it's cool we are on the same team this early," Naruto said happily. "Now all we need is our other friends like B and Dawn, dattebayo."
Heather thought it over, figuring that someone that went to AP classes with Naruto must be smart to be useful plus anyone that can work well with her idiot means they can work with her. Dawn on the other hand…she glanced at the shorter blonde and thought it over before figuring she didn't see a downside from what she saw so far. She looked back at the screen, not noticing Dawn glancing at her as she noticed a slight shift in Heather's aura that slowly started to match the one on screen.
"Hai, you said it, dattebayo." Naruto chuckled.
"…Beth," Trent said.
"DJ." The goth girl nodded.
"Justin."
"Um…Dawn, was it right?" Gwen asked, earning a nod from the petite girl as she joins the team.
"Welcome to the team," Naruto said helpfully.
Heather nodded, "I'm sure you will be helpful."
The others stared in surprise while Dawn nodded, "thank you. I will help however I can."
"Hmm…Izzy." The crazy girl just whistled as the musician blinked, "Izzy?"
"She likes to be called Kaleidoscope," Lindsay whispered.
"Oh, right…E-scope?"
"I regret that," Trent admitted in a deadpan tone.
"Aww, I want to be with Red." The crazy girl pouted and some castmates chuckled at her.
"B," Gwen said as the silent boy smiled at them and gives them a light nod.
Naruto and B bumped fists while Heather felt things were finally going her counterpart's way.
"I'll pick Rodney," Trent muttered.
"He's a strong-looking boy, that makes sense," Leshawan said with a nod. She didn't see the jealous look Harold had upon hearing this.
"And that's where I'll jump in!" Chris declared as he catch their attention, "Since there's only one girl and three boys left, I'll place them in your teams…Jo and Max, you're with Trent, Harold and Geoff, you're with Gwen."
Max scowled, "why was I one of the last ones to be picked!"
"Probably because you are new and don't know what you can do yet," Beth offered helpfully. "But you're on our team now so I'm sure you will make friends with us."
Max paused, surprised by the truthful yet not hurtful answer and the protentional promise. "I would like that," he muttered softly.
"What! No!" Gwen gasped and her teammates glanced at each other worriedly.
"Too bad!" Chris chuckled, "Gwen, I christen your team, the Screaming Gaffers!" He turns to the musician's team, "Trent, you're the Killer Grips!"
"Worst. Names. Ever." Noah deadpanned as he wrote down the teams.
"Debatable," Max added since the team names for the season he joined were mistranslated badly.
"Honestly the only season that had decent names was World Tour," Cody pointed out.
Noah turned his deadpan to Cody, "Our team name was 'Chris is really really Hot'."
"That sounded like a personal issue," Cody countered.
"Grip?" Beth gasped, "I don't wanna be a grip!"
"Pul-ease…" Heather scoffed with an eye roll, "It's not like being called a gaffer is something to brag about. It sounds like something that has rabies." Everyone jumped at the sound of a crash and turns around to see two scowling interns.
"I'm sick and tired of gettin' no respect around here!" The skinny intern growled and walks off with the fellow intern.
"…Bye, Gaffer and Grip!" Naruto waved at them.
"…Their names are Gaffer and Grip?" Duncan blinked dumbfounded, "How the hell do you know their names…Wait, which one is which?"
"Oh is that why they left?" Chris asked with a shrug. "Not a big loss. I got some cool team names out of it,"
"Oh, the skinny one is Gaffer and the big one is Grip, dattebayo." The redhead replied, "I always chat with them when they were filming us but that part always gets edited out."
"While smart for them to edit that out," Chris said, trying not to notice the annoyed look on Kushina's face, "it's good that my boy can know his way around the crew. It will make things easier for later."
"What are you planning dattebane?" Kushina asked him with narrow eyes.
"Nothing bad," Chris assured her. "Just maybe try and get him to join in a new season of Total Drama. Or introduce him to show business. It would be fun to have you two on board."
Kushina seemed surprised at this but smiled softly. Chef grunted and smirked, "I'm all for adding the brat but Kushina here will be nice. It might make the new season fun."
"Okay, since we're running late now." Chris checked his watch, "Let's have our first Gilded Chris ceremony!"
(Gilded Chris Ceremony)
The new teams listened to the ceremony music and stared at the host in his tuxedo as he walk up to the podium. "Welcome to the first Gilded Chris ceremony!" Chris grinned, "Before we start, I want to make a little announcement…The next ceremony, you won't use ballot papers to vote because you will vote them off with a voting device under your seats from now on. With them, you just push the button of the person you want to vote off. Got it?"
"Yeah, we got it." Some of the castmates muttered boringly.
"So who's going to be voted out?" Geoff asked. "Since only one of us will be kicked off."
"My money's on you," Jo grunts. "Your guy kept slacking off for some reason."
"Gwen and the others were worried when Chris added you to their team," Noah reminded him.
"Huh?" Geoff muttered as he scratched his head. "… oh boy."
"Okay…" The host rolled his eyes as Chef walks onstage in his dress, complete with jewelry, and growled at the laughing castmates. "If you get a Gilded Chris, it means you're safe." Chris grinned, "And now…The Gilded Chris go to…" The cooker started to throw the awards at the castmates as Chris called out their names, "Trent, Gwen, DJ, Duncan, B, Izzy…"
"E-scope!"
"Fine…E-scope." The host sighed before resuming his announcement, "Lindsay, Justin, Owen, Beth, Naruto, Dawn, Jo, Heather, Leshawna, Rodney, Max, Bridgette." Chris smirked as he glanced at Harold and Geoff, "Now it's down to you two…The one that gets the final Gilded Chris is…"
"…" The party boy smiled.
"…" The nerd sweats.
"…" The host smirked, "Harold!"
"Yeah! Boo-yah!" The nerd cheered.
"What?!" Geoff gasped as he looks around, "I thought we're tight?"
"Yeah, we are…" Duncan muttered, "But you kept slacking off lately."
"Without your girlfriend to make out all the time, you must have partied too hard," Owen offered helpfully.
Duncan got a smirk on his face, "hopefully Whiskers and her can keep themselves from going at it during a challenge."
Naruto blushed as did Bridgette at the reminder and hoped that wouldn't happen. Heather growled and gritted her teeth. She then noticed Dawn had offered her another nut snack which the queen bee took in order to grind her teeth on something.
"That's true, sometimes you don't know that we have challenges to do." Leshawna nodded.
"Because you're a fucking slacker," Jo said bluntly.
"Any final words?" Chris chuckled.
"Well…Keep partying on, everyone!" The party boy shrugged and walk toward the Lame-o-sine before it drove off.
"Okay, time for you guys to go back to your now-fixed trailers and get some snooze." Chris waved them as he walk offstage.
Geoff seemed disappointed at his counterpart losing so soon. Bridgette patted his pack and tried to cheer him up. "Hey don't feel bad. I'm sure you will be part of the aftermath show."
Geoff beamed, "right!" he paused and looked confused, "but if you are still on the show then who will I work with?"
"Ummm…" the surfer didn't have an answer to give him.
(Boy's Trailer)
"Dibs on bottom, dattebayo." I chuckled as he walk to the end of the trailer, "Who wants to bunk with me?"
"I will." Justin smiled as he climbs up on the top bed and went straight to sleep.
"I demand to sleep on the bottom bed!" Max jumped on his bed, "Also I request Rodney to bunk with me." The country boy nods his head with a chuckle and climbed onto the top bed.
"Hey, B." Duncan grunted, "Let's bunk together, I'll take the top." The silent boy nodded, he just wants to sleep now.
"Want to bunk with me, DJ?" Owen asked.
"Sure…But I'll take the top." The Jamaican giant said quickly, you don't want to bunk under the oaf at all…Ever…
"I'll take the bottom," Harold said and Trent nodded his head.
The guys shrugged since none of them had any issue with the arrangement much like last time.
(Girl's Trailer)
Unlike the boys, the girls were fighting over whose getting the top or bottom bed and who they want to bunk with. "I'm taking the top bed." Dawn said emotionless, ignoring the fighting girls as she lay down on her bed.
"Smart to stay out of our way," Heather complemented, wondering if the girl's attempts to keep from bunking with her will backfire once more.
"I'm not one to join conflict" Dawn admitted. "And I'm sure it will end peacefully with them mostly happy."
"Um…I'll bunk with her." Bridgette gulped, taking her bed since she stay out of the fight. It took a while until they draw brushes and take their bed. Gwen with Leshawna, Lindsay with Beth, Izzy with Jo, and only Heather has her own bunk bed.
"Ha!" Heather cheered at her counterpart's minor victory, flipping the other girls off.
"…"
"…"
"…fuck" was all Gwen could say as the other girls grumbled at the loss once again.
Our campers finally rest for the night and not a single one probed. As far as we can see (laughs). We see the new teams, Trent's guy slowly going crazy, and we get Heather and Naruto as one team. Let the Drama begin! What crazy antics will my boy bring to the season? How will the new challenges play out with the different teams, and will the new guys shake things up? What is the deal with Heather acting almost civilly with Dawn? And most importantly will any of these girls get Naruto's attention? Seriously he brings drama without even trying. Plus, since Kushina also wants him to get a girlfriend she can't be mad at me. Find out next time on Total…Drama...Preview!
