Going Underground

Somewhere in Canada, there is a house. It is an ordinary house, in an ordinary neighbourhood. The family is an ordinary family, with a mum, dad, two boys, and a dog. The dog a fine German Shepherd called Grace, she is a playful companion that loves walks, belly rubs, and will eat pretty much anything. The eldest is a bright lad named Steve aged fourteen that likes to play sports- in particular tennis, eat pizza, hang with his mates, doesn't like to do his homework, or clean his room and likes to tease his younger brother. Messy lad number two, Mitchel, likes his sports like his brother, but often spends his time reading comics. The mother, Lilly, an animal lover- who is a zoo keeper and works with the big cats, a busy social woman, who loves to cook and can be quite adventurous at times (which sadly sometimes doesn't work) and supports her two sons in whatever endeavour they desire. The Dad, Michael Jettison, tells corny jokes, loves a good laugh, enjoys documentaries, a great appreciator of artwork and music, and always quick to get takeaway whenever his wife experiments with food.

So-nothing extraordinary.

A woman approaches the house.

She is a tall woman, with a slender yet sturdy build, pale skin almost white, and she held herself tall with a straight back, her head high, she had thick black wavy hair that went down to her mid-back. She has a sharp face, a small nose, plump lips, slanted soft green eyes with long curly lashes, well defined cheekbones attached to a long neck. Her hair was out and covered half her face, she wore a wide brim burgundy coloured hat, a white long sleeved cotton blouse, dark high waisted burgundy pants, with a black pair of black boots.

This woman's name was Gwendolyn. Gwendolyn Daugherty.

Upon answering the door, Lilly greeted Gwendolyn warmly and led her to her husband's study. Gwen after-all was an associate of Michael. Leaning against the bookshelf waiting for Michael, Gwen wondered why she kept doing this- she could find something else.

Michael walked into the study a big smile on his face "Gwen a pleasure to see you"

She returned the greeting and hugged him back. She then handed him the manila folder she had held in her hand.

He grinned "We really appreciate what you do for us".

She sighed- because they probably couldn't get anyone else. That's why she did it.

He looked to her and she smirked back "so shall we" she gave a slight nod and that was all the response he needed to move efficiently toward his desk. She followed him and sat on his desk; he sat next to her and took out the purple pen in his pen holder.

And suddenly the desk moved, this was one of the most enjoyable parts of her job. The desk moved downwards, at a fast pace faster and faster- until it suddenly stopped. Gwendolyn smiled as her hair settled back down neatly in place, she didn't think she'd ever tire of it.

Michael as it turns out is one of the producers of the Total Drama world and they had just entered the Total Drama headquarters.

So- something extraordinary then.

Gwendolyn and Michael walked down a hallway- which had pictures of Chef, Chris, and Ex-contestants on the walls. They then walk into a silver room, that had computers and mini TV screens everywhere, a few coffee machines and popcorn machines and at the end behind a painted screen, was a giant wall sized TV screen, matching massive speakers, with several comfortable looking couches in-front of it.

"Hey Gwenie" a tall intern with bright green hair excitedly waves her over. Michael goes to see what another intern was doing, a soft shake of his head and an easy smile on his face at the interns antics.

Gwen approached the young man "Hello Web"

"Gwenie, Gwenie" he exclaimed as he hugged her, she ruffled his hair once she was released. "I've only been gone one day" she laughed- he just shrugged his shoulders "I still missed you"

"So what have you got for me" she asked.

Web pointed to the screen "this"

She read the details on the screen; the candidate did seem to suit the requirements of a usual contestant. She then went around the room and collected a list from the other interns.

Eventually picking out a few- she printed out head shots with a few basic details and walked to a desk of-the-side and was soon joined by Michael who sat on the other side of the desk. He rubbed his hands together "So let's get too it"

They went through the collective photo's one after another until they had a lot smaller list. Gwen leaned back in her seat and locked eyes with Michael- he gave her a tired smile "Well whatcha waiting for- get"

Gwen shook her head amused looked at the first page and then promptly teleported to a new destination.
