Total Drama: The Original Island
Minisode 8: The Dark Horse
By: BigBadBrad
The Minisode starts as Claire looks around, she is in the privacy of the woods. She peacefully clips and trims flowers and bushes. She smells the aroma of the air filled with the scent of roses and lilies. She lays down comfortably in the middle of a grass patch. However her relaxation is disrupted as her beeper goes off. She checks it to see it was Chris beeping her.
Just dropped off Travis at the Miami hospital and took Lucas to his extremely disappointed family, just landed in New York today, how are you?
Claire blushes as she reads his message.
Good, today just gave the campers a rest day after what happened yesterday night. However I do have this…. Feeling. I feel like I forgot something. Claire sends it before her phone instantly vibrates.
Good luck, because our newest caper is about to arrive, plus you have to tell the teens that their teams are dispersed. Claire's eyes widen as she runs through the trees with her black beeper in hand, she trips and falls over branches and slips in puddles. However, she's most worried when she sees a bright yellow boat slowly float over to the island.
"S***," Says Claire quietly as she runs from the seaweed infested green and black in the forrest hoping to get to the dock in time.
Crap, I forgot about that, he's coming right now. Talk to you later, send Evelyn my love. Messages Claire, she looks as Chris replies, will do. She pockets her beeper and continues her own sprint.
She arrives just as the boat enters. On there is a teenage boy with short light blonde hair in the style of a crew cut. He wears a white undershirt with a blue jean jacket with the arms ripped off of it. In his hands is a skateboard.
Nui, Lance, Milly, and Andrew hang around the plaza area as boy gets out. Milly remains unimpressed, she narrows her eyes as he walks out of the boat.
"Who are you?" Brittany asks as she enters the scene going on outside, Jackson simply watches through his window.
"Sup," The boy gets out and shakes Milly's hand "I'm Lester, but you guys can call me Jackal, Steve or Stev," Steve says as they break apart.
"So...umm why are you here?" Nui asks politely.
"He's here as a… replacement for Jackson," Claire says as she raises her finger in the air.
"I'll be fine with him as long as he's not flirtatious," Milly says sarcastically as she remembers being on the sideline with Travis in the Illinois Jones challenge.
"Don't worry, I'm already in a relationship," Says Steve casually.
"Oh...ok," Says Lance cautiously.
"Ok, umm so what team will he be on?" Nui asks questionably.
"Obviously, ours," Scoffs Brittany as she files her nails.
"What do you mean? We only have 2 members on our team?" Milly says somewhat pissed offed.
"Both of you two, please calm down, there will be no teams. From now on, you guys will have to survive on your own. Girls, you will sleep on my left, the former Spider side, where it looks like and Brittany have a cool set up, meanwhile, the guys will be sleeping on my right, the former dolphins side...umm hope you like clothes on the floor, Steve," Claire jokes as Steve frowns. However he rushes to former female side of the dorm with his skateboard and suitcase in hand.
Jackson closes the blinds as Steve gets closer.
"Give him one day out here and he'd be half as enthusiastic," Jokes Lance to Nui.
"Mhmm, he seems too chill for his own good," Jokes Nui back this makes Lance lightly giggle.
"Hey… do you want to leave… maybe go into the woods?" Asks Lance as he points away from the camera.
"Don't go places, number one, I have a sneaking suspicion someone else is on the island and number 2 there's a challenge soon, you guys should get moved then get prepared, I'm going to finish my taxes in the meantime, chao," Claire says as she waves off the group of teens. They all look to each other before they lave their separate ways.
