MrTempleguy: Sadly that is classified information so I cannot tell you, but they will have a big part in this reboot!
Episode 1- Welcome to Total Despair: On Hopeful terms
"Attention all contestants, Nighttime is now over and the Cafeteria is now open. Be your very Best today Upupupu!"
The high-pitched voice of Monobear easily woke every contestant from their slumber. Most took a quick shower, some just changed and made their way to the cafeteria. Eventually all the contestants had arrived in the eating area and helped themselves to several of the breakfast items available. Once they have all settled Jo decided to start a meeting.
"Okay, Listen up! Since yesterday's search was a failure I suggest that we start a discussion on something some of you guys are bothering me about!" Jo announced.
"And what would be that?" Noah asked.
"You know you can say my name right?" Anne Maria told Jo.
"Anyway! I think we should talk about why we're here!" Jo shouted.
"What do you mean by that?" Lindsay questioned.
"Why 21 teenagers from a Canadian reality show are trapped in a school for a murder game." Jo stated simply.
"I must agree, it is quite strange that this would happen to us." Alejandro said.
"Maybe for a ransom?" Brick said.
"Please, as if any of you would be that important. Why even force us to kill each other if they need us to get money?" Heather said.
"Why are there only 21 of us?" Izzy said nonchalantly.
"What are you talking about now?" Justin questioned.
"It's weird how we're not even." She said simply.
"Anyway, our only hope now is to somehow get rescued." Jo said bitterly.
"Unless someone attempts to..." Eva didn't finish her sentence.
"If any of you even think for a second about taking that bear's offer, I'll personally deal with you." Jo threatened. "And you're gonna beg for me to kill you too."
Most of the contestants finished eating in silence, though some tried(and failed)to start a conversation. Barely noticing each other, the cast abandoned their plates and went off to their separate ways.

Harold wandered around the halls absentmindedly. He was still confused on how any of this is actually happening. He casually went into one of the classrooms, and surprisingly found someone. It was that cynical bookworm Noah.
He coughed to signal his arrival, Noah didn't budge from reading is book. Harold got a little closer, Noah didn't move a centimeter.
Harold finally sat in a desk next to Noah and Idly whistled. Noah closed his book and sighed.
"Yes?"
"How many times have you've read that already?" Harold asked.
"Three times actually, most of the time I pretend to read it to ward people away from disturbing me." Noah responded.
"Ah! What is it anyway?" Harold asked.
"The Problem with our Skies." Noah said flatly.
"Really?!"
"No."
"Okay, then what is it?" Harold questioned again.
"The Grand Garnsey."* Noah said.
"Do you like it?" Harold asked.
"It's a classic but Honestly It's not my all-time favorite." Noah responded. "It's honestly just something I carry around for...reasons."
"Fine, but why are you here by yourself?"
"I WAS having some alone time, until someone randomly waltzed in here." Noah remarked.
"I get it, I get it. Fine, I'll see you later." Harold responded.
"Bye." Noah said simply.
And so Harold left, leaving Noah to his own devices. Noah looked in the inside of the cover. There was some writing.
It read: "You like Books don'tcha! Me and Eva got you this! So nerd out to your hearts content! Happy birthday Noah!-Love Izzy."
Noah looked back at the door to make sure no one caught him smiling.

"Do you think they don't like us?" Sadie asked her BFFL.
"Why the heck wouldn't they?!" Katie responded. "I mean we're their BIGGEST fans! They just don't know that we're perfect for them!"
Sadie thought to herself, Katie was always the one who followed her heart. But after a while Sadie just thought that maaaybe Trent and Justin didn't want a relationship with them. She dared a few other times to tell Katie about her thought but she would always brush them off.
Here we go again, Sadie just doesn't understand it! I know it in my heart that we'll be the ultimate celebrity power couple! She just has to learn to trust her more. Justin and Trent at least liked them...right? Katie stopped and looked at a certain door.
Somehow they wandered towards the Mono-Shop and an idea just blossomed. While walking around the BFFFLs picked up several of the coins the bear scattered along the halls.
"Oh Sadie look! It's a store! If we can't go to the mall then this should be, like, the next best thing!" She shouted.
"Should we really-" Sadie didn't even finish before Katie pulled her inside.
The Monoshop seemed to still be untouched since a while ago. Monobear still stood in the exact same spot. The BFFFLs ran up to the counter and spoke to it.
"Hey creepy bear thing! We have a bunch of coins so we wanna buy your stuff!" Katie shouted at the bear.
"Please insert coins in slot on the side of information desk." Monobear stated in a monotone voice.**
Katie and Sadie looked at each other questionably. Katie ducked under the desk and saw a small coin slot, bewildered, she inserted two coins into it.
Monobear stood for two minutes before quickly dashing to the wall to a couple of drawers. He opened one up, and pulled out two bracelets. He plopped them onto the desk and said: "Congratulations, you have received 'two friendship bracelets', please come again."
"...OH MY GOSH SAAADIE!" Katie shrieked. She held both up, but extended one towards her BFFFL.
"One for each of us!"
Sadie gasped and then squeed.

"FINE. But stay on your side!" Heather shouted at Anne Maria. Both wore uniform swimsuits with the school's logo on it. Heather wanted to relax in the baths but arrived to find the tanned girl there already.
Of course an argument broke out between the two of them. Anne Maria argued that she was there first, while Heather said she was the one who FOUND it first. They bickered and shouted insults at one another for at least ten minutes before the begrudgingly agreed to use it at the same time.
The bathhouse was surprisingly large, in the middle was a pool that was slightly bigger than a hot tub. On the sides of the room were long sinks with showerheads above them. There was a two stalled changing station and a clothing line with Hope's Peak brand swimsuits. Nearby were baskets of towels and several buckets.
Both girls sent stink eyes at their opposite ends, positively steaming.
'I'm surprised that orange paint she splattered on herself isn't washing off, must be permanently stuck.' Heather thought snidely.
'That girl is making this pool colder by the second! I should've tore that smirk a minute ago!' Anne Maria frowned.
Eventually both girls got out of the water at the same time, though this time in utter silence. Of course until Anne Maria threw a bucket of water at a fully clothed Heather. Her yelling was heard throughout the whole school.
A cloaked person in a far off room in the building snickered, before going back to the control panel.

Justin had just returned from the Mono-Shop, just barely managing to escape the sights of the BFFFLs. He idly took out his goods, a Snazzy hand mirror and a small bag of red gumballs.
"Hey Trent you want these?" Justin asked the guitarist. Who was sitting down tuning his instrument
"Sure." He answered nonchalantly.
Justin tossed the bag over to his band member and went back to sit on a box of blankets.
The two Drama Brothers decided to hide out in the storage room to avoid the BFFFLs , which has worked out so far. The room was large with rows of steel shelves that could be pushed around easily.
Their heads turned together when they heard the storage room door open. Though instead of Sadie and Katie coming in to fawn over them it was someone else. Alejandro leaned on the door, smirking.
"Hello Amigos, I am not interrupting something here am I?" Alejandro asked. "May I ask why you both have decided to hide in here?"
"Oh um, Don't tell Katie and Sadie we're here!" Trent said quickly.
"I enjoy being fawned over, but those too simply push it." Justin added. "And running around is doing nothing good for my ankles."
"Ah ha, I see! And I believe you received that mirror from the mono-store?" Alejandro asked Justin.
"Yes, how did you exactly know?" Justin questioned.
"The bag you have, it quite plainly say 'Mono-Shop' on it."
"Oh, then yes you're right."
"It also helps that Heather went to the store herself as well." Alejandro said.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Someone screamed from a part of the school.
"...Was that Heather?" Trent asked.
"It appears it is. Very well." Alejandro then opened the door. "I'll see you two another time."
As he walked out the door he acted surprised.
"Why hello Katie and Sadie, are you two coming into the storage?"
Trent ran behind the shelves, while Justin hopped into a box. Alejandro smirked and then walked off into the empty hallways.

"Come on you stupid hunk of junk!" Sierra shouted at a computer.
For the past hour the Super fan had tried to get at least one of the computers in the V/R room to connect to the internet. She wasn't a hacker, though if the rumors about Noah were true she might bring him around to do it. At the moment she had swimming around her mind, mostly Cody but also about her blogs.
"Who knows how long it's been since I last updated! I swear, if Mom beats my 'Number of updated blogs working at the same time' record! Stuffing is going to fly!" Sierra threatened a non-existent Monobear.
As Sierra focused her attention on the computer she was on a figure loomed behind her, before quickly jumping out of sight. They silently scurried under the tables before jumping out from under a computer at the front of the room. Four rows away from Sierra.
They quickly ducked under the computers once more before popping out from under another four seats down from Sierra's. They rolled over behind her and aimed their knife.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Izzy shrieked.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Sierra Screamed.
"DIE! DIE! DIE DIE DIE!" Izzy shouted, jabbing the knife into the fangirl's shoulder. After a minute of this Sierra sat still with a bored expression. The 'knife' barely hurt, probably because it wasn't real.
"Izzy where did you get that knife?" Sierra asked.
"I bought it at the Monoshop!" She said smiling. She held up the knife and pressed here finger on the tip of the blade. The blade easily slipped back into the sheath, though at first glance it looked completely real.
"E-scope strikes again! HAHAHAHA!" Izzy laughed, cartwheeling out of the V/R room.
"Haven't heard her use that name in a while." Sierra shrugged off the event and went back to the computer.

"Let's see here. Arsenic? No, Okay here we go! Advil!" Bridgette said happily.
In her hands was a clipboard, which Bridgette pulled out of one of the many drawers in the Nurse's office. Geoff opened up a cabinet and scooped up a white bottle and tossed them to DJ.
"Here you go Deej. That should help your headache!" DJ smiled in response. Bridgette handed DJ a glass of water.
"Thanks guys." DJ said. He quickly downed two aspirins with a glass of water.
"That should take care of your headache DJ. That was a bad fall after all." Bridgette said.
"DJ can take it, he had loads of them before!" Geoff chipped in.
"I guess, but man what that bear said was messed up!" DJ said earnestly.
"Yeah, major Buzzkill." Geoff agreed.
"I'm sure no one will take it seriously! We'll just have to wait until we get rescued!" Bridgette said.
"Yeah. But something still's bothering me." DJ said out loud.
"What is it Deej?" Geoff asked.
"Well, I keep having this weird idea that I'm suppose to be remembering something." Dj said. "But when I try to remember it, it just comes up blank. Like a chunk of my brain is missing!"
"I'm sure you'll remember whatever it is. Even if it sounds really important!"
"yeah, but I just thought...how did we get here?" DJ said.
"We were kidnapped dude!" Geoff replied.
"Yeah, but what happened before that? Like I don't remember being drugged or getting picked up by someone." DJ said.
Bridgette and Geoff looked at each other, both questioning in their minds, How did they get here?

"So you're friends with Noah and Izzy right?" Owen asked Eva. He sat across the cafeteria table from where she had sat. He decided to talk to her after seeing her sitting by herself.
"Yep." Eva replied. Not even bothering to take out her earbuds.
"So, what did you think?" Owen asked.
"About?" Eva said curtly.
"You know...when I sorta kinda maybe hung out with them?" Owen replied.
"You mean...?" Eva shot him a questioning look.
"Oh i don't know, it's just that ummm. Y'know. hung out with them you were never around!" Owen laughed a little before going silent. "And well, I guess I never gotten to know you!"
"Probably because I was eliminated early and never returned to ay other season of total drama as a contestant." Eva replied.
"Yeah, but like..." Owen seemed stuck for a moment. He sighed before continuing. "Since Noah, Izzy, and I always hang out I think it would be good to know Izzy and Noah's hanging out pal!"
At this point Eva quirked her unibrow. It looked like the big guy wasn't going to leave her alone anytime soon.
"Fine. What do you want to know?" Eve said.
"Well...What's your favorite food?" Owen asked, smiling.
Yeah, Eva should of expected that.

For he third time today, Lindsay did not understand what was happening.
"Don't you get it?" Jo shouted.
"You are just paranoid!" Brick shot back.
"At least I'm not wasting time getting buddy-buddy with people we don't know!"
"It's called understanding!"
"Please, you wouldn't know understanding if it bit you on the-"
"Are you two like, dating?" Lindsay said, interrupting Jo.
"No!" Both shouted at her.
"As if I would go out with pants pee-er here!"
"I stopped doing that a year ago already!" Brick shouted exasperatedly.
"Doesn't stop anyone remembering!" Jo yelled.
"Why are you two fighting about again." Lindsay asked.
"He doesn't get that we can't make 'friends' in a life and death situation!" Jo said.
"If we don't get to know eachother, it will just lead to misunderstading!" Brick responded.
Lindsay ultimately lost track of the conversation after a minute. Probably because she had gone deaf from all the shouting.

Mike's fingers lightly tapped the buttons on screen, he sat on the carpeted floor right in front of a door. He recently found out that the ID-cards could send messages to other contestants, and Monobear, but Mike wasn't going to even bother with that contact. He waited until his message was sent.
[Mike said_I hope you understand.]
[Zoey said_I know it's just...]
[Zoey said_I thought we were going to pull through.]
[Mike said_I wish we could.]
[Zoey said_I did too!]
[Mike said_But you know what he can do!]
[Zoey said_I know! But...]
[Zoey said_I can't do this...]
[Zoey said_Not now...]
[Zoey said_I just wish you told it to my face...]
[Zoey said_goodbye.]
[Mike said_ Zoey?]
[Mike said_ Zoey?]
[Zoey has Dropped Call]
[Mike said_ ZOEY!]
[Mike said_ Zoey...]
[Mike has Cancelled Call]
Mike got up, and sulked away. He just missed faint crying coming from behind Zoey's door.

AN: Well this took forever. Sorry guys, It's really hard to do Free time events but they are really important! So not doing them isn't an option. But I hope you guys like the way I write their interactions. Next chapter is a motive with 2-5 free time events(not with all contestants though.) FTE serve as character build up, and giving you clues to the plot!
Anyway, I really hope you guys enjoyed this chapter because it's actually one of my favorites, since I feel I really improved as a writer! And if you're confused about anything, or you just have a question for me either PM me(state whether you want it public or privately answered) or put it in the reviews.
So tell me in the reviews, which Free time event was your favorite? Who do you think I write the best? Who do you think will survive(for now), die, or kill? Who do you want to see live or die? What do you think of the FTE pairings I made (Sierra and Izzy, Katie and Sadie, Heather and Anne Maria, ect.)
See you when the motive drops!-Anontomy
