[I have the first challenge in mind already but if some fans could give me ideas for other obstacles that'd be great!]
Noah walks over to his girlfriend and takes a seat in the lawn chair next to her.
"So, what do you think of the gang?" Noah asks with a smirk leaning back with his arms crossed behind his head relaxing. Emma peers up from her book to smile at her boyfriend and grimaces at his question.
Emma scoffs. "Where to start?" she says about to name off the people.
Lindsay who is sun tanning: "The typical dumb blonde"
Duncan dunking Harold's head in the pool: "The bad boy"
Alejandro sitting next Jasmine with her feet in the pool trying to sweet talk her. She looks annoyed and shoves him into the pool: "The Latin bad boy"
Lightning doing laps in the pool: "The dumb jock"
Jo scarfing down hot dogs: "The somewhat smart jock, need I go on.." She says obviously not impressed with her crew.
Noah grins at her sarcasm and nods his head in agreement.
"Trust me you haven't even gotten to Harold, Courtney, or Heather and those three have a lot more baggage than you know." Noah says.
"Wooohoo! Emma come on! The water is great!" Kitty shouts out from the pool waving at her.
"I told you, after I'm done reading 3 chapters of my book THEN I'll swim" Emma says straight forward and returning to her reading until she is squirted with water and drenched. Noah is shocked by the attack and Emma is annoyed as she looks through her wet hair in her face to see her sister smirking while holding a water gun. Kitty stood proudly in front of her sister and chuckled. Emma growled but then smirked evilly.
"Oh you think that's funny huh?!" Emma challenges. All of a sudden water is squirted in Kitty's face, she looks and sees Emma holding a water gun herself.
CONFESSION
Noah: Part of me wants to ask where they got the water guns, but the other part says to shut up and enjoy the show. So I listened to that voice.
Emma and Kitty run off and play with their water guns laughing and playing.
CONFESSION
Emma: Kitty and I haven't played like that in years. It felt really good. I bit childish, of course. But it's so fun, that I have no shame!
Trent is playing guitar on a lawn chair and he sees Courtney walk by with a food platter for herself. He smiles and tries to catch her attention.
"Hey Courtney, having a cool time" He asks walking by her.
She looks confused by his sudden presence but doesn't shoo him away. "Uhhh, sure" She says.
"I've been working on this new song, wanna hear it? Maybe help me out?" Trent asks with a smile.
Courtney looks skeptical and is about to say no but she sees Trent's bright green eyes and sighs in defeat.
"I guess so" she says and walks with him. She smiles at him when he isn't looking. Duncan notices this and is seething.
CONFESSION
Duncan: I don't like the way Trent acts around Courtney all of a sudden. And I saw a smile there. Does Courtney like Trent now? Does he like her?! Uhhh….I mean, not that I care.
Courtney: I used to think Trent was a total loser because he played a poor game on season 1 and 2 but recently I've come to tolerate him a lot more. It's nice to find someone who appreciates my knowledge of music and my singing voice.
Kitty is stalking the area looking for Emma when she sees Trent and Courtney together sitting on one lawn chair smiling together. She then sees Duncan spying on them from behind a palm tree. She smirks.
CONFESSION
Kitty: OMG! My love detector is going off! And it's coming from Trent and Courtney! They are SO into each other! I bet they're secretly dating! And I'm sensing some green eyes coming from a certain GREEN Mohawk bad boy. Duncan is sooo jealous! I bet he still likes Courtney! Oh I SO gotta message this to my friends! [Kitty pulls out her phone]
Heather: So Brains vs Beauty vs Brawn, obviously I'll be on beauty. I mean duh! But then again I am smart so maybe brains. Either way, this game is mine!
Jacques and Josee are sunbathing and discussing their strategy.
"So since we both know we will be on the beauty team, it's best to predict who are teammates will be and start an alliance with the ones we like." Jacques suggests.
"Wrong, we should just play it nice for now and then when we know our team we go from there. I'd rather not waste any energy being nice to people who aren't on my team." Josee retorts.
It's night time and the contestants go to their rooms. Instead of a resort style hotel room for each contestant, there are actually two big rooms with beds for all the girls and the boys. They are all twin beds in a circle with a big space down the middle. The girls and guys get settled in. In the girls' side, Heather looks at Emma, Kitty, Josee, Macarthur, Sanders and Jasmine and studies them.
CONFESSION
Heather: So it's me, Lindsay, Courtney, Izzy, Eva, and Jo and the newbies. Jasmine is strong but she's not easy to manipulate, so she could be a threat. Emma and Kitty will be easy to beat, so that just leaves the cadets. Looking at them, it's safe to say that we won't be on the same team. So that means Emma and Kitty, perfect pickings.
"Hey guys, I just wanted to welcome you guys to the show myself and I wanted to apologize for Alejandro's behavior before. Trust me, I'll have a talk with him" She said with fake enthusiasm.
Emma has her arms folded across her chest and looks suspicious while Kitty just smiles.
CONFESSION
Emma: Okay I haven't been here a day yet and I already know that Heather girl is bad news. I mean does she really think we would fall for this phony attitude of hers. Personally I feel insulted that she thinks I'm that dumb. But better not step on any toes now. So….
"Gee thanks Heather, it's so nice to be accepted." Emma says forcing a smile.
"No problem in fact, I suggest we all have a little good old fashioned sleep over fun to get to know each other better." Heather says. Eva and Jo groan while Macarthur looks confused.
CONFESSION
Macarthur: I never had a sleepover growing up, so I don't know what good old fashioned sleep over fun is. But if that girl tries to dress me up or even thinks about putting any of that make up junk on my face, she'll be sorry.
"Oooo! You mean the good old fashioned blindfolded, peg legged pirate treasure hunt in the sewer! I love that game!" Izzy shouts out excited. It's silent for a minute.
"Uh no" Heather says weirded out, along with everyone else.
"A nice friendly game of truth or dare" Heather says. Lindsay and Kitty cheer and clap while everyone just stands there and looks at each other.
CONFESSION
Kitty: Do I buy this fake friendly attitude? Of course not. But I love truth or dare! I've never lost a game! I mean yeah there really isn't a winner or loser, but I'm the champ!
"Truth or dare, really?" Jo says annoyed.
"Sounds like fun! Let's do it!" Josee says.
CONFESSION
Josee: Playing games like this is for children, but it could be a perfect way to learn more about my competition.
"Come on Macarthur, it's just some innocent fun. And hey, if someone says dare, you can make them do anything" Sanders says. Macarthur gets a grin on her face and is about to speak.
"As long as it's legal" Sanders points out and Macrarthur deflates a little.
"Okay ladies let's play" Heather says and the girls get in a circle. Eva and Jo still groan as they get into place.
In the guys' side everyone has a different before bed ritual. All except for Noah who goes straight to bed. He's about to sleep until he gets knocked out of his bed by a pillow. He hits the ground and wails in pain as he holds his head. He looks and sees where it came from.
"So loser, how'd you convince that babe to date you? Promise to do her homework for a year or something?" Duncan said joking.
Noah rolls his eyes. "Okay, first of all, that is one that is one of the lamest insults I've ever heard. Second, she's a sophisticated law student with a 4.0 GPA and third she and I are dating because she likes me." Noah retorts with a smirk.
"Good to hear dude. You and Emma really connect. You make a good pair" Trent says.
"Yeah, until she realizes that she could do better." Duncan says with a cocky smirk.
"Dude, on a scale from 1 to 10 that girl is like 10! And you're eh, more of a 5" Lightning says. Duncan chuckles and Noah looks unimpressed.
"Right as if I'm going to pay attention to a guy that couldn't count to 20 without counting his toes." Noah says.
"Don't think of it that way. It's no big deal that your girlfriend is considered out of your league. Heck, everyone thinks Leshawna is out of my league but look at me." Harold says.
"You aren't dating Leshawna remember? You got friend-zoned" Noah pointed out.
"For now, but I know she loves me. I just gotta wear her down" Harold says.
"Not helping dude" Trent points out putting his hand on Harold's shoulder.
"Well as much as I'd love to discuss my relationship with you girls I'm gonna get some sleep. You guys do what you want" Noah says reaching his limit and goes to bed.
CONFESSSION
Noah: Seriously, if I wanted to be given the third degree about my relationship and deal with this kind of gossip I might as well be sleeping in the girls' side. There's no scale or leagues or any of that junk. Emma and I are fine.
"Gentleman, Noah is right. We must get some sleep. For who knows when we'll ever get a good night sleep like this." Alejandro points out. Duncan shrugs and goes to bed.
"Affirmative. We should expect an early wake up call" Brick says and goes straight to bed.
On the girls' side, the game has taken its toll on the girls and they are getting bored. Eva and Jo are leaning on each other and sleeping. Jo has some drool dragging on her chin. Izzy is snoring while sleeps in her bed curled up like a dog. She scratches herself with her leg.
"It's Emma's turn. Okay, truth or dare" Heather asks.
Emma sighs. "Truth" she says.
"Okay, are you actually dating Noah by choice?" Heather asks. Emma is really pissed now.
"Yes, I'm dating him because I like him. We've been together for almost a year now and I'm happy with him. Okay" Emma says, hoping to put an end to this.
"Wow, have a cow why don't you, it was just a question." Heather said defending herself.
"I wanna go next." Kitty says.
"But it's Emma's turn" Heather says.
"Trust me Kitty can take it, I don't usually play this anyway." Emma says without a care. Kitty squeals.
"Yay! Okay so, Courtney! Truth or dare" Kitty asks really into it.
"Ugh, truth I guess" Courtney answers clearly not into the game.
"Are you dating anyone new right now?" Kitty asks.
Courtney gasps as her eyes bug out. "No! Of course not! No way! I've learned my lesson!"
Kitty smirks and looks at Emma who is smiling too.
CONFESSION
Kitty: She's soooo dating Trent! Eeee!
Emma: Once again Kitty's love detector has gone off.
"Um, not to put a damper on the party but I think we better hit the sack girls. The competition starts tomorrow and we need some shut eye." Jasmine suggests.
"I agree" Courtney says quickly and quickly goes to bed. The other girls shrug and go to bed.
CONFESSION
Heather: Well that was a bummer. None of the girls had anything interesting to say and didn't do any good dares. I was nice for nothing!
Josee: Nothing! Not one single piece of useful dirt to use against them. Ugh! These girls are so dull. I stayed up late for this.
It's the next morning and a bullhorn echoes through the resort and shakes the place. It also shook everyone out of their beds. The girls and boys all groan in pain and look annoyed. The sisters, cadets, and ice dancers didn't know what was with the wake up call, but the other competitors knew.
"GOOD MORNING COMPETITORS! HOPE YOU GOT SOME SHUT EYE CUZ TRUST ME, YOU'RE NOT GETTING A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP LIKE THAT FOR THE REST OF THIS GAME!" Chris announces and laughs.
"Get dressed and be at the docks in 1 hour. It's time to split you guys up into teams!" Chris says.
In the girls' side, Heather smiles.
CONFESSION
Heather: Let's see what losers I'm gonna be teaming with.
Josee: It's time!
Everyone walks over to the dock. Josee pulls Jacques aside. "Okay, so you remember, as soon as we meet our team, start the friending process" She says whispering.
"Suck up" Jacques says making sure he understands what she's saying. "Like a vacuum cleaner" She answers back evilly with a smirk. Jacques returns the smirk and winks at her. Heather and Alejandro pass by them and she looks suspicious.
"Hey, the minute we get split into teams, we send those two home first one by one. I don't trust them." Heather says. Alejandro smiles at her anxious expression.
"Relax, when you and I have our team it's already a given that they will be enemy number 1." Alejandro replies.
CONFESSION
Alejandro: Whether Heather and I are on the brains or beauty team, we know our strategy. Eliminate the biggest threat and that is the ice dancers.
Everyone huddles up at the dock where they meet Chris who has a screen on wheels with him. He looks too happy.
"Well, I'm glad to see you guys look so nice and healthy. It'll only make it more satisfying when I see you all starved and beaten and torn to shreds" Chris says chuckling.
"Can it McLean, just tell us our teams already" Eva demands.
"Sheesh, take a pill. I'm getting to it. As I said before, you all were picked by a fan poll on our former Total Drama World Tour/All Stars competitor, Sierra's fan blog. We had her ask who the fans thought would be a perfect fit in teams based on their strength, their looks, and their brains. You all came up. And now, to announce your teams, please welcome our favorite blogger, Sierra!" Chris refers to the screen and Sierra pops up. She squeals in glee and cheers. She waves her hand frantically at the screen.
"Hi guys! OMG! This is so amazing! It's so great to see you all again, and some new faces too! I was so surprised to see how many fans answered my poll. And I know this season is going to be fantastic! Eeeee!" Sierra cheers. Chris whistles at her.
"Get to the point Sierra!" Chris says angry.
"Oh right. So there will be 3 teams of 7 and first I'm going to start with Team Brawn" She announces.
Everyone looks anxious to hear who's on the team.
"Duncan, Eva, Jo, Lightning, Brick, and ridonculous race contestants, the cadets!" Sierra announces. The named contestants cheer in approval.
CONFESSION
Duncan:HA! Brawn, totally knew that was coming! Ever since All Stars, I've secured my rep. No one calls me mister nice guy anymore and showing off my brawn, that's gonna make me look even better.
"Wow, didn't see that coming" Noah says rolling his eyes.
"Next is team Brains!" Sierra announces. Noah smiles and then looks at Emma who smiles back.
"I was really surprised with a few of these but, I trust the fans. Okay, we have Noah, Harold, Courtney, Trent, Heather, Izzy and Josee!"
"WHAT?!" The ice dancers shout. Heather is shocked as well. "EXCUSE ME!" Noah gasps and looks worried. Emma is upset by the news as well. Not only was Noah not on the same team as Emma, but from the process of elimination, he knew who WOULD be on her team, and that made him nervous.
