Now we move to Tyler. He'll be a LOT more fun than Courtney (unless, of course, you don't like Tyler, in which at that point, there is something wrong with you).

Disclaimer: Must we put these up every time? I don't think anyone owns Total Drama Island!

Chapter 3: Tyler

Total Drama Island was one of the greatest things to happen to me! I met a hot girl, Lindsey, and I got to show off my stuff. So I was pretty bummed when I was voted off.

What bummed me out even more was when I got home after the season ended. I was sitting on my couch, eating an orange when this strange song started playing in my head. It would pause, then start a second or two later. As it got to the last part, which went "This is your right, you're gonna die!" the orange that I was chewing on suddenly seemed to fly back into my throat and got caught there. I started choking and was rushed to the hospital (my parents couldn't remove the orange). When the doctors couldn't get it out either they removed my vocal chords. Yes.

Now I have to charade everything to communicate with others. It's very frustrating. Nobody ever gets it right. I have to frantically wave to get people's attention. Very annoying.

Anyway, I got my letter from Chris just a few days after I got out of the hospital. I definitely said yes! I packed my stuff and headed out.

As soon as I got to the island, I was immediately greeted by Geoff, my main man. "Hey Tyler!" Geoff exclaimed, slapping me hard on the back. "Heard you got your vocal chords removed. Bummer." I glared at him. "So, are you as psyched as I am to be back?" He asked, seeing that I really didn't want to "talk" about it.

I nodded and pumped my arms in the air to show how excited I was. Then I noticed Heather leaning against a tree, filing her nails. She had an ugly scar that went across her eye, down her cheek, down her neck, and came out her arm. I pointed at her.

"Oh yeah, Heather got hit by a truck. She was taken off life support yesterday," Geoff told me. That wasn't what I wanted to know. I wanted to know how many stitches it took to sew her up.

Suddenly, I was crushed from behind in a hug. "Hey Tyler! What's up?" Owen shouted in my ear. I smiled and raised my hand. Owen's grin faded. "Fine!" he snapped, "Don't answer me!"

I frowned as Owen walked past me, carrying his luggage. I would love to have growled, "Well Owen, I would love to answer you, but I can't speak!" But of course, I couldn't, because if I could, I would've answered him and I wouldn't be talking about this. Uh…

Anyway, Geoff, Owen, Heather, Gwen (who was already there), Chris and I sat back on the beach and waited for the others. Chris refused to tell us what was going on, and he actually looked nervous. The only one who seemed to care though, was Gwen. And I was also quite worried, though I had a very limited way to express that.

Eventually Cody and Trent showed up (at the same time, poor Cody) and Trent took the only available seat next to Gwen. So Cody, disappointed, had to sit on the other side of Trent.

"So," Trent said to Gwen, "What happened to you? I wasn't able to catch the report."

"I almost fell into the fiery pit the school calls a furnace," Gwen muttered, "Luckily my brother was able to catch me in time."

"That's horrible!" Trent gasped.

"Yeah," Gwen replied.

"I almost got cut in half by a giant pendulum!" Cody piped in before Gwen could ask Trent what happened to him.

Trent looked at Cody in surprise. "You did? How the heck did that happen?" he asked, truly concerned.

"One of my now former friends shoved me in its path," Cody explained, trying not to sound proud of himself. "I just barely got out of the way in time."

"Same here!" Owen exclaimed, "I almost got trampled by a flock of turkeys! Boy, were they angry!"

"A flock of what?" Heather asked in disbelief.

"You know what happened to me?" Geoff interrupted, "I got trampled on by a rhino."

"Really? I was being chased by a murderous mime," Trent told us.

"Well at least none of you were hit by a semi truck and sent to the emergency room," Heather growled.

I wanted to add that none of them had their vocal chords removed, so I pointed at my throat to remind them.

Pretty soon the campers started arriving in packs. Lindsey, Beth, and Justin. DJ, Duncan, and Harold. Katie, Sadie, and Ezekiel. Bridgette, Courtney, and Leshawna. Eva and Izzy. The only one who wasn't there was Noah. Nobody seemed to notice, though. They were all busy reuniting with old friends and crushes. I admit I didn't really take notice either. I was with Lindsey, trying to explain to her that I couldn't speak anymore when Katie (or was it Sadie?) piped up.

"Hey!" she exclaimed, "Where's Noah?"

Isn't this good grizzly fun gang? What really happened to Noah? I'm not telling! You'll just have to be forced to read the next chapter! Mwahahaha! You know what to do… R&R.
