Chapter Two: None Down, Eighteen to Go Part 1 and 2
Courtney and Gwen walk up to the host with the rest of the crowd.
Don: "Welcome Contestants!!!! This is the starting line for your 26 part race around the world. Each part ends at a Chill Zone. Get there fast because the last team to stand on the carpet of completion maybe cut from the competition. But the first team to reach our last Chill Zone will win One Million Dollars!!!!!"
Everyone except for the Goths 'excluding Gwen' started cheering.
Don: "Look over here." (Camera shows Don standing near The Don Box.) "This is our Riconculous top box also known as The Don Box. Press this button to get the travel tips that will lead you through the Riconculous Race. Ready Teams?"
Everyone got to their starting positions.
Don: "On Your Marks!!!! Get Set!!!!
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."

"Race!!!!!!"
Everyone began running not noticing that they ran on top of the host complaining about his hair and face.
Courtney and Gwen were in the middle of the crowd running towards The Don Box. They finally made it to The Don Box and Courtney pressed the button and Gwen grabbed the tip.
Gwen: "It says we either have to climb 144 flights of stairs or take the elevator to receive the next travel tip."
Courtney: "Let's go then."
They ran towards the lobby seeing a crowd of people camping the elevator. Gwen then saw two familiar faces.
Gwen: "Owen? Noah? Is that you?"
Noah and Owen turn to see Gwen and Courtney.
Owen: "Hi Gwen! I didn't know you also signed up for the race."
Gwen: "Did Josh make you participate in the race as well?"
Noah: "No, Owen and I signed up willingly. And by that I mean him bugging me until I said yes."
Courtney: "Sorry to break up the conversation Gwen but I think we should take the stairs. The elevator is taking too long."
Courtney grabbed Gwen's hand and started running towards the stairs.
Owen: "Aw I was just having fun catching up with Gwen."
Noah: "Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but we're in a race for not last place because we just missed the first elevator."
Owen: "I'll just talk to the guy in the robe while we wait for the next elevator." (Owen proceeds to walk over to Leonard.)
Noah: "Wait Owen Don't!!!!!" (He just facepalms as he sees Owen having a friendly chat with the Leonard.)
Moments later Owen walked back to Noah looking disappointed.
Owen: "I'm sorry Noah."
Noah: "you've done the right thing Owen."
Ten minutes passed of Courtney and Gwen running up the stairs and they've already passed the Adversity Twins, and the Stepbrothers.
Gwen: "Why did we take the stairs?"
Courtney: "I already told you that the elevator was taking too long."
Gwen: "The truth Courtney! All I ask for is the truth!"
Courtney: "Alright fine I got nervous thinking about talking to Owen again. We did leave on bad terms."
Gwen: "Whys that? You know Owen can forgive easily."
Courtney: "Here's a quick recap I tried to kill him over a million dollars, I unfairly voted him off, and I always insulted him and his friends.
Gwen: "Listen when we get time later I can help you apologize to Owen. Does that sound alright to you?"
Courtney: "Sure thing whatever you say. For crying out loud how much more stairs do we have to climb!"
Gwen: "Guess we should've stuck with scares huh?"
About another 2 minutes they finally reached the top of the stairs to see Geoff comforting Brody.
Gwen: "I'll get the tip!"
And with that Gwen left Courtney with the Surfer Dudes
Courtney: "Hey Geoff I didn't expect you to participate in the race."
Geoff: "Sup Courtney, long time no see!"
Courtney: "What happened to him?"
Geoff: "Oh you know same old story. Running up a ton of stairs and now a cramp shows up."
Courtney: "Does Bridgette know your doing this show?"
Geoff: "Yeah I asked her if she wanted to race but she's surfing in Australia right now. So boom entree my bud Brody."
Gwen: "Hey I'm back. Hope you still have upper body strength because we have to zip line to receive our next travel tip."
Courtney: "Oh come on! Let's get this over with. Later Geoff!"
Geoff: "Later Courtney!"
Gwen: "Well it looks like I didn't have to help you with Geoff."
Courtney: "Well Geoff was part of the Bass team so it wasn't as awkward."
They ran to the zip line and Courtney grabbed the handle while Gwen grabbed on to her. They proceeded to zip line screaming and Gwen grabbed the tip. A few seconds passed and they hit the mattress. Gwen took a moment to catch her breath before she read the tip.
Gwen: "The tip says we have to book tickets to Morocco."
Courtney: "Let's hurry then before the other teams show up!"
They both ran in the airport lobby and made it to the desk.
Courtney: "We would like to book 2 tickets to Morocco please."
Worker: "Okay here are 2 tickets for The Drama Stars and your in luck because you are the fifth team to book flight one."
Both: "Alright!"
They ran in the plane as fast as they could. When they entered they saw Jacques and Josee creepily smiling at the window, Ryan and Stephanie making out, Carrie blushing towards Devin when he wasn't looking, and Dwayne struggling to put on Junior's seatbelt while Junior was embarrassed. They took their seats and not long after Noah and Owen ran in with Owen completely out of breath.
Noah: "Relax big guy we don't have to do anything for awhile. So get comfortable this is going to be a long while."
Owen: "Sure thing little buddy." (He giggled and grabbed his teddy bear and sat down.)
Gwen: "Hey Owen I didn't know we were going to be on the same flight."
Owen: "Wow what are the odds! Now I guess we can finally catch up."
Courtney: "How did you get ahead of the other teams?"
Noah: "I don't want to talk about it."
Courtney: "Uhm listen Owen I never got to apologize for how I treated you on Total Drama.
Owen: "Yeah you were pretty mean back on the show. But hey I can forgive you since you did apologize. Group Hug!!!!" (Owen pulled Gwen and Courtney into a group hug.) "Come on Noah you too!!"
Noah: "Sorry I don't feel like..." (Noah didn't get to finish before Owen pulled him in.) "IT!!!!"
After a moment Owen decided to end the hug.
Gwen: "So what made you want to enter the race guys?"
Owen: "Oh that's easy. Me and Noah were fan favorites on Total Drama World Tour and we both been on tons of reality shows since then. Like Meltdown Kitchen and Scare Tractor and Fashionista Flip Flop."
Noah: "Don't know how you got on that one. Anyways after Owen signed us up he called our team the Reality TV Pros even though I haven't won any yet."
Courtney: "Welcome to the club Noah."
Pilot: "Ladies and gentlemen we will be taking off shortly. So please be seated at this time."
Owen: "Well it looks like we'll have to catch up later if one of us doesn't get booted today."
Noah: "Gee thanks for making me lose some confidence Owen." (Owen just laugh nervously.)
Dwayne: "Oh Come On!!!"
All the teams turn to see Dwayne all tangled up in his seatbelt while Junior just face palms.
Devin: "Uh do you need help with that?"
Dwayne: "No no I got it." (Proceeds to get himself more tangled."
Gwen: "Here let me just help." (She untangles him and buckles him up.)
Dwayne: "Wow thanks. You know I swear the seatbelts were different in cars."
Junior: "This is a plane dad. Not a car."
Dwayne: "I knew that I was just wondering if you knew which you did. Congrats you've learned from the best."
Everyone just sighs and return to their seats.
Courtney: "I kinda feel bad for that kid." (She whispered to Gwen which she nodded in response.)
Gwen: "Well I'm gonna catch a few Z's. Wake me up when we're getting close."
Courtney: "Got it."
Courtney: "I still don't forgive you for what you've done to me in World Tour boyfriend stealer!"
Gwen: "But Courtney I thought we were friends again."
Courtney: "Oh please you? I was just using you in the race to get money!"
Courtney turned into a Demonic form and grabbed Gwen. She tied her up dragged her into a coffin.
Gwen: "Courtney please don't!" (She begged and cried in fear.)
Courtney: "Bye bye Gothie!"
With that the coffin closed and looked her in. She was pounding and screaming.
She screamed herself awake
Courtney: "Gwen? Gwen!? Are you ok?"
Gwen: "I'm fine it was just a nightmare."
Courtney: "You wanna talk about it?"
Gwen: "Alright then. Oh by the way the plane is about to land."
Courtney: "Alright let's get this race started."
Two minutes gone bye and everyone ran out the plane and airport. The Ice dancers pressed the Don Box first.
Jacques: "The spice is right. It's an All In!" (With that the Ice Dancers ran to the nearest cab and it drove off.)
Everyone else ran and collected their tips. Then they all ran and called taxis. It took a few seconds for The Drama Team to get a cab and get in
Driver: "Where to?"
Courtney: "To the nearest Spice Kiosk please!"
The driver just nodded and drove.
Courtney: "So did anyone you know . . . Miss me since the show ended?"
Gwen: "Nobody said much since the show has ended. The closest thing would probably be Bridgette."
Courtney: "Bridgette missed me?"
Gwen: "Yeah she did. But sadly I told her we weren't friends anymore and that was before we reunited."
Driver: "We're here and don't worry about paying. This guy named Josh already did that for you."
They both looked at each other and shrugged. They left the cab and ran towards the Spice Kiosk."
Gwen: "What do we need again?"
Courtney: "The tip says we need Cumin, Cinnamon, Paprika, Saffron, and Ginger."
Gwen: "can you get what's on the list?" (She asked the worker. All he did was point at a sign that said he they had to make the choices.) "Dang It!"
Courtney: "I got this one Gwen. My grandma knows her spices."
Courtney pointed at all the right spices. And the man gave them a full pouch with a tip tied to it.
Courtney: "Oh no not again."
Gwen: "What?"
Courtney "We have to ride another Camel across the desert to make it to our next challenge."
They both groaned and ran towards the closet camel. With some of the other teams."
5 minutes have passed and the smell was only getting worse and Josee gagged.
Josee: "I can't take" (Gasping.) "This stinking Camel anymore."
Gwen: (Took a few sniffs.) "You are mistaken if you think that's a camel."
They turn around to see the Reality TV Pros catching up.
Courtney: "There it is!"
The teams saw the next Dawn Box near a restaurant and The Drama Stars were the first to press the button.
Gwen: "It's a Botch or Watch. One of us has to eat the Stew." (Gwen pours the spices in the boiling pot.)
Courtney: "Leave this one to me Gwen."
Gwen: "Are you sure Courtney?"
Courtney: "Remember who has a strong stomach Gwen?"
Gwen: "Like the Ice Cream?" (Courtney just Glares at her.) "Sorry couldn't resist."
Courtney: "I meant the Chinese food challenge back on World Tour."
Gwen: "Oh yeah I forgot that part."
Worker: "Ladies the Stew is done."
Courtney: "Wow that was fast. I'm gonna take part in this challenge." (She started chugging the Bowl.)
Gwen looks around and sees some teams chugging and other teams arriving. She turned and saw Owens face more red than a tomato chugging the stew."
Gwen: "Is he going to be alright?"
Noah: "He'll be fine. But I may have told the worker to pick the 5 closest to him."
Gwen: "Are you crazy!? Why would you do that!?"
Noah: "Trust me I've stuck around with him for so long now I know what he doesn't eat."
Owen: "Pots hot." (Gasping for air.) I think you picked some of the wrong spices!"
Noah: "Oh come on I've seen you eat. You're about as picky as a raccoon just do it!"
Courtney: "Done now come Gwen!"
Gwen ran off with Courtney.
10 minutes have passed and they were still searching for the Chill Zone.
Gwen: "Oh come on this feels like Egypt all over again."
Josee: "Move it or lose it!"
Jacque zoomed passed them carrying Josee smiling. They were officially creeped out when they saw them smiling at the camera. The Ice Dancers however we're not paying attention to where they were going and hit a tree.
Another 3 minutes have gone by and they saw the Chill Zone in the distance."
Courtney: "Hurry!"
Josee: "Move Faster!!!"
Don: "The Race is neck and neck. 2nd place goes to."
".."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"The Drama Stars!"
Both: "Yes!"
The ice Dancers hopped on the Chill Zone seconds later and waved to the camera.
Don: "As a Canadian ice dancing team you probably hear this a lot. 3rd Place!"
Josee's happy smile turned into a psychotic smile and started raging and kicking the sand in anger."
Don: "Okay then. Anyways there's a hotel near by so you guys can get your rest.
Courtney, Gwen, and Jacque nodded while Josee was still kicking and punching the sand.
They walked into the hotel. Sure it wasn't First Class from World Tour, a 5 star Hotel from All Stars, or Playa De Losers. But it was still nice.
Courtney: "If we placed 2nd I wonder who placed 1st."
Carrie: "Hello there. Congrats on making through the first race. I'm Carrie and my partner Devin is currently taking a nap after a long day of racing."
Gwen: "Nice to meet you Carrie I'm Gwen and this is Courtney." (Carrie shook both their hands.)
Courtney: "What made you join the race?"
Carrie: "Devin asked if I wanted to race with him. And as his best friend I couldn't deny traveling around the world with him."
Minutes later more teams entered the Hotel. And Gwen turned to the Tennis Rivals.
Gwen: "I'm surprised with people your age you've made it here pretty fast."
Pete: "I'm not considering we're athletes."
Gerry: "Sure we were on the last flight because we fell off the zip line." (Pete coughed and said something about Gerry pushing him.) "But besides that we found fast camels and we lost our taste buds." (They laughed.)
Courtney saw Noah and glared at him.
Courtney: "Gwen told me that you gave Owen the wrong spices."
Owen: "It's alright Courtney I drank seconds after I finished the Stew."
Noah: "And by that you mean you drank from a drooling Camel. And besides that the other teams were catching up. I kinda panicked and rushed."
Courtney: "Whatever, oh congrats on not going home first guys."
Owen: "Thanks Courtney."
after another five minutes Junior was holding his temporary blind dad.
Gwen: "What happened to your dad?"
Junior: "He ate the stew to fast and is temporary blind."
Courtney: "Does anyone here know how long that will last?"
Ellody: "It'll last about another 2 hour by my Calculations."
Jay: "It's true. It happens to me and Mickey all the time."
Courtney: "Your voice sounds very familiar."
Ellody: "I was just about to say the same thing."
After a moment of everyone talking to each other Don has entered the lobby.
Don: "Can I get everyone's attention for a moment." (The noise has settled down with everyone looking at the host.) "I would like to congratulate everyone for making it through day one of the Riconculous Race!" (Mostly everyone started cheering.) "If you currently look up at the screen it will show a montage of an eliminated team. After the montage is over you all can eat dinner."
The TV first Shows the Larpers leaving a taxi. Then it shows Leonard creeping Owen out with his 'magic'. Next it shows them 2 zip lining. Now it shows them throwing confetti at the Adversity Twins and the Goths. After that it shows them riding a camel. And it finally shows them trying to preform magic with the Vegans and Father and Son passing them.
Don: "Now you guys can do whatever you want. But remember to get some rest because the next challenge happens tomorrow.
With that done and over with everyone started to head towards the Cafeteria.
Courtney and Gwen just grabbed their food and were looking where to sit when they saw Geoff waving to them.
Geoff: "Gwen, Courtney over here Dudes!"
They sat across from Geoff and Brody.
Gwen: "So how did you guys meet. Let me guess a party?"
Brody: "Woah is she like psychic dude."
Geoff: "Sorry dude I told her about all my parties during a challenge of Total Drama Island."
Courtney: "Wow I can't believe someone would try to use magic to win the race. That's just sad."
Geoff: "What's sadder is that he tried to do the same thing on Total Drama Pahkitew Island and got 2nd eliminated."
Gwen: "Wait he was on Total Drama?"
Courtney: "How did he not get first boot?"
Geoff: "There was this Beatboxer named Beardo who both did nothing and started annoying everyone with his sound effects."
Brody: "At least do something man." (Junior couldn't help but overhear the Conversation.)
Junior: "No way you guys are talking about Total Drama Pahkitew Island! I love that show."
Geoff: "No way Dude! Did you watch the other seasons?
Junior: "Sorry guys I only watched Pahkitew. But anyways you got it half right. Sure he was useless but he did all those sound effects unwillingly because he is a huge introvert who make random noises when he gets scared."
Courtney: "And you know this how?"
Junior: "He said it in his audition tape."
Geoff: "Dude if you loved Pahkitew Island. I recommend watching the other seasons because I heard that it was the worst season from some of my friends."
Junior: "Did you guys watch Total Drama?"
Gwen: "No Me, Courtney, Geoff, and those two over there were contestants of Total Drama." (Pointing at Owen and Noah.)
Junior: "that's so cool! When I win or go home I'm gonna have to watch it."
Courtney: "It was nice meeting you Brody and Junior. But I'm getting pretty tired and I'm about to head to my room."
Gwen: "Same here I hope to see you guys during the challenge tomorrow."
Brody: "Sounds good to me."
Geoff: "See you two tomorrow."
Junior: "Lucky, I have to stay up strategizing with my dad all night long." (Junior said with a hint of sarcasm.)
Brody: "Sorry to hear that dude."
Courtney was brushing her teeth and Gwen hopped on one bed. After Courtney was done she hopped in the other bed.
Courtney: "You know I couldn't have asked for a better partner to do this race with.
Gwen: "Really? Thanks Courtney I couldn't have asked for a better partner myself as well."
Courtney: "I'm going to go to bed now and I hope we don't get the McLean wake up Treatment on this show."
They both laughed at that statement.
Courtney: "Night Gwen."
Gwen: "Night Courtney."

I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
So I decided to extend the story by both doing interacting on the rides and adding a hotel near the Chill Zone.
I also decided to exclude Don explaining the Challenges since it will get too repetitive to write.
Let me know what you guys think of this chapter.
UNTIL NEXT TIME BREADBASKET OUT!!!!!
