Authors Note: I said this would be a quick chapter and I was correct! After my short break following Christmas, I wrote a chapter for both this and my other fic, Total Drama Zombieland within a couple of days. This entire chapter I wrote today! Anyways, if you wouldn't mind reviewing this, I would appreciate it. Only one person has reviewed this fic, and they know who they are. Anyways, next I'll work on another chapter of TDZ then the next official chapter of this fic. Oh and Happy New Year!
Instead of opening on a view of Chris in front of the high school, the camera opens on a large room with a few couches, a large table with snacks on it, and a large TV. There are ten people in the room. The camera sees Duncan, Owen, Katie, Sadie, and Beth. In addition, there is a boy with short brown hair, a red tracksuit, and a red headband making out with a girl with a blue bandanna set in her yellow hair, cowboy boots, an orange skirt and red top with a brown vest-like piece of clothing covering her large chest.
Duncan is watching the sight and says to Owen, "You know, it's a good thing she recognized who he was before World Tour started. Imagine how much it would suck if she couldn't remember who he was when they were stuck on a plane for hours at a time."
Owen laughs and replies, "You know, that would suck. I don't know what I would do if Izzy didn't remember me."
"Yeah, well at least you get to compete in World Tour! I haven't competed since Total Drama Island! How do you think I feel," a muscular girl who was wearing a blue sweat suit and had her black hair in a ponytail angrily asked.
Duncan rolled his eyes and responded, "Hey it was your fault for leaving to go get help Eva."
"What I don't get," a lanky, nerdy teen with orange hair, green-tinted glasses, and a blue shirt with what appeared to be a picture of a hamburger on it, said, "is that I wasn't chosen to participate in this season. I mean, according to the Total Drama web site, I am labeled 'The Dweeb.' So why wasn't I picked?"
Eva angrily replied, "At least you got to be on Total Drama Action! And you're going to be on World Tour! That's three seasons! I've only been on one!"
"Eva, you should totally like, calm down, right Sadie," Katie said to her BFFFL (Best Female Friend For Life).
The chubbier Wonder Twin replied, "You are so right Katie. I mean, we aren't on this season, but we aren't mad."
Eva rolled her eyes and said, "But you guys are interns! You at least do something! I don't do anything!"
The nerdy teen from before turned to a tanned model with a green shirt and cargo pants and said, "Hey Justin, do you think you can calm her down?"
The model, whose name is Justin, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll do what I can Harold. I know of only one way to soothe a savage beast like Eva." The model then ripped off his shirt. Katie, Sadie, Beth, and Eva all stared in awe at Justin's near perfect features (He still had the slightest evidence of a scar or two form TDA). The blonde girl making out with the tracksuit-clad teen would be staring too, but she wasn't facing the model. Justin then asked, "Eva, could you please try and calm down? You might be scaring some of the others."
"I c-can t-t-try to, Justin," Eva said with a slight tone of affection (though she would deny it later).
Duncan elbows Owen and whispers, "Maybe the reason why they didn't pick her was because they didn't pick Justin. He seems to be the easiest way to calm her down."
Owen chuckled and whispered, "I don't know, maybe it's just because Eva is scary." Justin put his shirt back on and the girls came out of their stupor.
Just then, a tall intern with dark brown eyes, jet black hair, a navy blue t-shirt and black jeans walked in. Harold noticed the intern and said, "Hey Carl, what's up?"
The intern looks up from his clipboard at the teens and says, "Well, the Aftermath show is about to start, so you guys are needed on stage."
"Okay, thanks for telling us," Beth said with a smile. Everyone exited the room except the couple making out, as they didn't hear the intern's announcement.
The camera now shows a stage with an audience in front of it. The audience has about a hundred people in it. Some of the audience members are holding signs like "Duncan + Courtney" "Duncan + Gwen" and "Forget Courtney and Gwen. Go out with me Duncan!" There is a couch in the center of the stage and about eighteen armchairs on each side of the couch. A large plasma T.V. is mounted above the couch. Duncan, Owen, Beth, Katie, Sadie, Justin, Harold, and Eva walk out from the left side of the stage and take seats on the left side of the couch.
Owen notices the signs that members of the audience are holding and he elbows Duncan and says, "Duncan you sly dog, you got quite a few fans."
The punk rolled his eyes and said, "Pfft, as if, those are just freaky fan girls."
The happy-go-lucky teen nodded in understanding and said, "Like Sierra?"
Duncan nodded and said, "Like Sierra, but probably not as hardcore." [1]
The television screen turned on and the Total Drama High School Aftermath logo appeared, which was a capital TDHS with the word Aftermath underneath it.
An announcer called out to the audience, "Welcome to the first episode of Total Drama High School Aftermath! Today's hosts are Tyler and Lindsay!" A spotlight shined down from the ceiling and was aimed toward the left side of the stage. It is quiet for about a moment and then the announcer again says, "Today's hosts are Tyler and Lindsay!" There is still no response. After about a minute of waiting, the announcer says, "Please bear with us folks. Will Carl please look backstage for our hosts?"
Carl searched backstage for Tyler and Lindsay. He was muttering something like, "Why did they send me? I'm like the director, not some stagehand." The intern turned a corner and entered the lounge where the cast had been but a few minutes earlier.
There he saw the couple who were making out. The boy had taken off the top part of his tracksuit, exposing his chest. The girl had taken her top off, leaving her bra as the only thing covering her chest.
Carl rolled his dark brown eyes and cleared his throat. The couple looked up at the intern, his jet black hair hanging partially over his eyes. "We're late for the beginning of the show, aren't we," the boy asked.
Carl nodded and responded, "Yeah Tyler, you kinda are. It's a good thing I found you before the guests got here. You were about to reach second base."
"But, aren't we all friends? I mean Heather hasn't been voted off yet," the girl sweetly asked.
"Lindsay, they would've seen your boobs. Friends or not, that would've been awkward," the intern replied.
Lindsay said, "I guess that makes sense."
Carl just sighed and said, "Look, just be ready to go onstage in two minutes okay?"
Tyler smiled and said, "Yeah, let's do this!"
"You are so cute Tyler," Lindsay cooed as she kissed his cheek.
Carl groaned and said, "Don't start making out again, if you know what's good for you." The two teens nodded and put the clothing they had taken off back on as the intern left.
Back by the stage, the announcer says, "Okay everyone sorry for the delay. I think we are ready to continue. Now please welcome your hosts, Tyler and Lindsay!" The crowd erupts into cheering and a few catcalls from some guys as Tyler and Lindsay walk out from the left side. They wave to the audience as they walk over to and sit down on the couch.
Tyler introduces the show by saying, "Welcome to the first Aftermath of Total Drama High School! We've got four guests with us tonight as well as a couple other segments for the show. However, let's start with a recap of what's happened so far: We've seen the contestants compete in challenges based off of Orientation, History, and Woodshop. We've learned that Emily has a huge crush on Cody, and he might have feelings for her in return. Nicholas and Jessie are wicked close, but whether or not they have feelings for each other has yet to be seen. We also learned that Mikey and Megan have a crush on one of the other contestants. On the more serious end of relationships, Trent and Gwen resolved to be friends just in time for Trent to hook up with Jennifer! Way to go Trent! Now in terms of rivalries, we've seen Gwen commit a bit of treachery in order to eliminate Courtney, though Courtney has yet to show any sort of animosity to Gwen during this season. Anyways, during the last episode we also learned that Nicholas is pissed off at Danny, though it is unknown if Nicholas is going to do something to Danny as a result of that anger. An alliance was formed and for once it wasn't by Heather! Noah, who wanted someone watching his back, turned to Joseph, who we learned is secretly evil and is only being nice to prevent anyone from being suspicious, and the two formed an alliance. As for the rest of the competitors, well they acted the way you would expect them to."
Lindsay smiled and said, "Now it's time for our first guest. She came in fifth place on Total Drama Island, said mean things about everyone on Total Drama Action, and was eliminated because of Connie's plan. Please welcome Lafonda!"
Leshawna walked out from the right side of the stage and sat in one of the chairs to the right of the couch. "Hey Leshawna, what's up," Tyler asked.
Leshawna frowned and said, "I was voted off first and lost a half a million bucks. How do you think I feel?"
Tyler raised his hands in defense and said, "It's a generic first question, don't get mad at me."
Leshawna chuckled and responded, "I'm just kidding sugar. I wish I could've made it farther, especially considering how it wasn't really my fault I was eliminated. Nobody on my team voted for me!"
Lindsay got up and sympathetically hugged Leshawna and said, "That's so sad. If I were on Carol's team, I wouldn't have voted for you."
"It's okay Lindsay," Leshawna said as her friend hugged her.
Lindsay sat down next to Tyler and said, "Well, how do you feel about Candice's plan?"
Leshawna raised an eyebrow and said, "Courtney? Well, I get saving the new kids, but why Ezekiel? I mean, I guess he is kinda smart, but still. Still, I know karma will bite Courtney in the ass before the game is over."
Tyler smiled and said, "What about the rookies? What did you think of them?"
Leshawna frowned and said, "Joseph is the biggest threat there. He is even more threatening than Noah, since he has both brains and is willing to be backhanded to win. As for the girls, working with them was nice. I liked Megan, Jessie, Jennifer, and Emily. I think Julie was nice too, but I really didn't talk to her that much. As for Rebecca, she's a bit odd, but I know she means well."
"Well, it was nice talking to you Lafonda, but would you mind moving over one spot so we can interview our next guest?"
"Not a problem," Leshawna said.
As Leshawna moved over, Tyler said, "Well, our next guess has the craziest hair on the show, does not like his stepparents and was hoping to get an apartment. Give it up for Alexander!"
The Hispanic slacker walked out from the right side of the stage and sat in the chair where Leshawna was sitting a moment earlier. Lindsay cheerfully asked, "Hi Alejandro, how do you feel?"[2]
Alexander blinked and said, "Yeah, my name isn't Alejandro. It's Alexander. Anyways, while it is a bit of a shame that I was eliminated so early, it does mean I can stay here the rest of the season. So it's not all bad."
"Interesting way to look at it. So what do you think of the Noah and Joseph alliance," Tyler asked.
"Oh, they will control this game the best they can, but with control freaks like Courtney and Heather, they will have a run for their money."
Duncan stood up and cracked his knuckles and said, "Hey! Watch what you say about my girlfriend!"
"Dude, you're going to get a chance to talk later," Tyler said to the punk.
Lindsay then said, "So did you like working with the other guys during the war challenge?"
Alexander shrugged and said, "It was okay, I guess. I would've preferred being in the field actually, just because it seemed like a videogame. Still, it was nice having the others listening to me."
Tyler looked over at the slacker and said, "Thanks for your time, dude."
"Anytime man," Alexander replied with a smile.
The jock turned to the camera and said, "Before we welcome our next guess, it's time for That's Gonna Leave a Mark!"
Scene 1: The scene where Mikey is knocked into the lockers during the laser tag challenge is shown in slow motion. When he hits the lockers a sound effect of a bone breaking is played.
Scene 2: Nicholas is putting the base of the swinging bench together when a piece of the canopy falls and hits him on the head, knocking him unconscious.
Scene 3: During the scavenger hunt, when Ezekiel slips on the water, he hits his head on the lockers before hitting the floor.
Scene 4: During the first challenge, Rebecca gets fed up with Heather and pinches her nerve endings. She collapses and is then kicked by Joseph.
"Man some of those were awesome! Especially what happened to Heather," Tyler said happily.
Lindsay added, "Yeah! But what happened to Mark was sad. Anyways, our next guest is the nicest competitor on the show, is easily scared, and formed an illegal alliance with Chef in Total Drama Action. It's DJ!"
The gentle giant walked over to the couch and shared a fist bump with Tyler before sitting in the seat Alexander sat in moments ago. DJ smiled at the blond and said, "Lindsay, you got my name right."
"Hey, I did, didn't I? Yay for me," Lindsay said happily.
Tyler asked, "So how goes it bro?"
DJ sighed before saying, "Well, I know why they voted for me, but why couldn't they vote for someone less favorable?"
"That is an excellent question, but I don't have an answer for you," Tyler said to his friend.
Lindsay asked, "Who did you consider your friends of the rookies?"
"The rookies huh? Well, Mikey and Julie became my friend during the first challenge and Jennifer became a good friend during the second challenge," DJ replied.
"Speaking of Jennifer, are you happy that she got together with Trent? And what about Cody and his love interest Emily," Tyler asked the gentle giant.
DJ replied, "Well, I'm happy that Trent got together with Jennifer. They seemed to have a lot in common. As for Cody, well Emily is nice and she really likes him so I think he should go for it."
"Thanks for your time DJ," Lindsay said.
Tyler turned to the camera and said, "Now for our final guest! She makes references that many don't quite understand, was eliminated first in the war challenge, and has a certain affinity with Japan, its Rebecca!"
The anime nerd ran out from backstage and did a flip over some of the armchairs. Her leg gets caught on one of the chairs however and she falls to the ground. Duncan then calls out, "Look at her, she just pulled a Tyler!"
The audience laughs as Tyler stomps over to Duncan. The jock looks the punk straight in the eye and seriously says, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Dude, it means she is as klutzy as you are," Duncan says to his face.
Tyler looks embarrassed and says, "Oh, sorry for having to get all serious. Can you wait until it's your turn to talk though?"
Lindsay asks, "So Rene, how does it feel to be eliminated so early?"
Rebecca sighs and says, "Well, I feel depressed that I wasn't able to show off my talents. However, knowing Chris I will be back for another season."
Eva angrily shouted, "Maybe not! I've only been in one season!" Tyler, knowing better, did not try to tell Eva to wait.
Rebecca continued, "Anyways, until that moment, I will work on my personality."
Tyler raised an eyebrow and said, "You think the others didn't like you that much?"
"Judging from what I pieced together from the Confession Cam I hacked, yeah," the anime nerd responded.
Tyler said, "Well we have a never before seen clip."
The clip opens on a group of people right after the elimination of Rebecca. Mikey, Mega, Danny, Julie, and Ezekiel are all walking back to the Cafeteria. They began to discuss the elimination.
"You know, I kinda liked Rebecca, but I voted for her because she is a danger to keep around," Megan said.
Mikey agreed, "That is true. I however voted for her because of how obsessive she was with anime and manga."
Danny nodded and said, "Obsession is a dangerous thing in this game. Look what happened to Trent in TDA."
"Well, hopefully nobody else gets eliminated for being obsessed," Julie says.
Ezekiel said, "Yeah, I guess, eh."
Mikey looked at his teammate from the challenge and said, "Look, I don't know why you are acting all pessimistic, but if it's worth anything, I'm sorry for forcing so much on you during the challenge."
Ezekiel looked at the gamer and said, "Really? Well, okay, I'll try to stop being so pessimistic."
"Back to the point thought, I think Rebecca would've made it farther it she said less things about anime. I mean, I'm the gamer but I don't talk about games all the time," Mikey said.
Julie smiled and said, "You're right Mikey, but perhaps we were unlucky. Maybe she talks about different things back home."
Danny shrugged and said, "Possibly, possibly."
Tyler analyzed the clip and then said, "Well clearly no one hates you. They just don't like your constant anime talk."
Rebecca sighed and said, "Yeah, I guess I should work on that a little more."
Tyler then said, "One thing I gotta know, what was up with giving the sword back to William?"
Rebecca smiled and said, "Well, he made it for me and I gave it to him as a symbol of friendship and also as a way for him to remember the promise he made me, which was to go as far as he can."
"Interesting. Well, peanut gallery, anything you want to say about what's going on this season," Tyler said.
Eva shouted, "I should be on this season!"
Harold looked over at Eva and said, "We already know that, Gosh!"
Justin said, "I don't know about you, but I hope one of those new girls wins. They are a pleasure to my beautiful eyes."
"Oh your eyes are so beautiful, right Katie," Sadie said.
Katie replied, "Oh so totally beautiful Sadie."
Duncan smirked and said, "I know Princess will do just fine."
Owen said, "And Izzy too! She'll be fine."
Beth said, "I hope Cody does well. He was one of the few who were nice to me on the island."
Tyler said, "And that was our peanut gallery! Now Harold set up a certain thing for us, care to explain?"
Harold stood up and said, "Gladly, I created a version of the theme song. Let's play it!" The lights dimmed and the screen started to play the theme.
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doin' fine, You guys are on my mind.
The camera zooms into the school through the front doors, passing by Chris who is sitting in the office with Ezekiel sitting nervously in the office. The camera passes the library, where we see DJ, Geoff, Bridgette, Leshawna, and Gwen talking as they carry various objects from the first history challenge.
You asked me what I wanted to be, and now I think the answer is plain to see, I wanna be famous!
The camera passes a classroom, where Courtney, Noah, and Joseph are standing up front presenting something. In the other seats, Alexander is sleeping, Heather is filing her nails, Danny listens intently and Julie smiles at the three.
I wanna live close to the sun, so pack your bags 'cause I've already won! Everything to prove, nothing in my way I'll get there one day, 'cause I wanna be famous!
Mikey, Nicholas, and Cody are running and shoot laser guns behind them at Megan, Jessie, and Emily. All six of the competitors are laughing.
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na,
Rebecca and Izzy are dueling with wooden swords. Rebecca is using the one that she used in the woodshop challenge, whereas Izzy is using a wooden sword painted blue, but in the same style as Rebecca's. [3] As they duel, William watches on, judging.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous! I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
The entire cast is in the auditorium, sitting in the audience with the exception being Trent and Jennifer as they are on the stage playing a duet version of the theme. Whistling can be heard as they finish playing and the logo for Total Drama High School shows up.
The audience is clapping for Harold's handiwork. "Thank you," Harold says as he sits down.
Lindsay smiles and says, "Well that was our show."
Tyler nods in agreement before saying, "That's right and on the next episode of Total Drama High School there will be another challenge, more drama, and another shocking elimination!"
"So make sure you to watch the next episode of Total Drama High School," Lindsay calls out.
Tyler continues, "Oh and the next Aftermath will be hosted by Harold and Eva! Good night!" Tyler and Lindsay start to make out as the ending music played and the rest of the cast walk off stage.
[1] –
Keep in mind that in Chapter 1, I said this took place after the TDA reunion special but before TDWT. The Total Drama cast knows who Sierra is, and she will show up in this fic toward the end. On a different note, have you noticed how silly fan girls are?[2] – Just like above, Alejandro will make an appearance at the end.
[3] – Izzy is wielding the Power of Self Respect from Scott Pilgrim vs The World. I cannot say enough how epic that movie is.
Whew, another chapter done! An aftermath will appear after every fourth elimination. They will be shorter than most chapters, but will also feature the non-competing and eliminated contestants. Please review and until next time have a happy new year!
