Things were tense in the girls cabin, mostly between Mocha and Jennifer.

CC
Mocha: I feel really bad about the cowgirl comment, I guess I was tired or something, but I should fix things.

Mocha walked over to Jennifer, "Ummm, hi, I just wanted to apologize for the thing I said earlier, I was really tired and wasn't thinking, it was a bad joke, really bad." Mocha apologized.

Jennifer looked up, "I believe you, thanks."

"So are we okay?" Mocha asked. Jenn nodded.

CC
Jenn: She wasn't lying, and I do believe she was tired. Most of us were waiting half a day to be picked up.

In the boys cabin however, they were all getting along pretty well. "Hey guys, watch this." Russel yelled out, he then proceeded to jump off the top bunk and do a back flip before landing. Everyone cheered and it was fair to say, friendships were being formed.

"Hey guys, I think we should head over to the craft services tent." Max called and the guys left.

The girls were about a minute behind.

Max was the first to arrive in the craft services tent and second was Cornelius, they were then followed by the rest of the cast, Chris was waiting for them, "Hello contestants, today is your first challenge and it will be dedicated to romance movies."

Chris said, arms raised in grandeur.

Everyone looked disappointed.

"Next challenge we will introduce teams, but for now, it's every teen for themselves." Chris said.

CC
Cornelius: Thank god, I can't believe I'm gonna have to work with people who'll just drag me down.

Chris walked around the players, "Today, this challenge is called First and a your partner will take turns showing what your interests and or talents are to the other." Everyone groaned.

"Okay, now for you're partners, if you're name's called out, come to the front. Omar, Max, Jenn, Mocha, Taylor, Jinx and Rickie."

The seven stood out the front, "Now you'll get given partners by picking names out of a hat, there's a girl hat and a boy hat, boys will pick from the girls and vice versa, now pick."

The seven each went to there respective hats and picked out names. Rickie read out his first, "Skyler."

Then Jenn read out hers, "Matt."

Next was Max, "Sarah." Sarah looked pretty happy.

CC
Sarah: At least he's a nice guy.

"Russel." Called out Taylor.

Jinx read the name on her paper, "Luke."

Mocha read out her name, "Cornelius."

CC
Cornelius: Crap biscuits.

Omar was the final one to read out his name, "Gia." Gia sighed.

Chris stood in front of the contestants, "Okay kiddies, go spread out and impress."

Cornelius and Mocha

The two stared at each other, Cornelius was uninterested, Mocha was wondering if she could try and get off to a better start with this guy, all hopes were shredded when Cornelius made the first move, "Listen, I'm not really interested in finding out your talents, so why don't you just tell me yours and I'll tell you mine." He suggested.

Mocha looked a bit annoyed but shrugged and began to explain, "I'm an artist at heart..."

Gia and Omar

"...and I can recite the name of over thirty Marvel heroes and I've watched every sci-fi movie of the twentieth and twenty first century and..." Omar babbled as Gia stood uninterested, that is, until he started again, "Wait, it's my turn." Gia blurted, eyes wide.

Omar looked a disappointed that he'd been cut off but watched as Gia pulled out a pair of headphones from a backpack, "Here, put these on." She instructed

.
Omar obliged and put on the headphones, Gia pulled out an iPod and switched on the music. Heavy metal music blasted into Omar's ears as his eyes opened right up and he dived behind a rock.

He peeped his head out from behind the rock and looked up at Gia, "Did it have to be so loud." He murmured.

Sarah and Max

"Yeah well, can you do this?" Asked Sarah as she did a backwards slam dunk on the basketball hoop behind the craft services tent.

Max looked at her as he picked up the ball and ran towards the ring.

He jumped and turned in midair to slam the ball in the net, one handed.

"Impressive." Sarah smiled as Max went and sat next to her.

Russel and Taylor

Taylor continued to watch the scariest movie in the world, pushing it every now and again to watch Russel's various stunts from various heights with various death obstacles. He knew a lot of stunts.

Taylor may not have have had the most athletic challenge, but this movie was so gruesome and scary, that it reduced ghost hunters to a puddle of whimpering uselessness.

Rickie and Skyler

"Woah." Rickie gasped as Skyler finished her balancing act.

She'd just walked across a tightrope 20 meters off the ground.

Skyler climbed back down and sighed. She was really puffed.

"So, what's your talent?" She asked between breaths. Rickie turned slightly and responded, "I don't really have any outstanding talents." He said and then winked to the camera.

CC
Rickie: I'm actually an expert Brazilian Dance Fighter, but that's for me to know and the others to find out. Hopefully not through experience.

Jinx and Luke

"...and that's the story of how I became interested in the life of being an assassin." Jinx concluded an extensive and interesting story.

Luke sat there in awe, then shook his head and talked about his main talent, "My talent is maintaining my hair." He boasted and posed to show his hair.

Jinx walked up to him and felt his hair.

Luke's eyes narrowed, "OK, BACK OFF, NOBODY, AND I MEAN NOBODY, TOUCHES MY HAIR." He shouted, fuming.

CC
Luke: No way did she just touch my beautiful locks, do you know how much damage she could've done and the grime that could be in there. Now I have to wash and condition and don't even get me started on the drying. There's so much work to do about...
(Rant continues for ten minutes which we didn't record.)

Jenn and Matt

"I just generally love maths and I'm actually quite good at it. There are other things I like, but it's your turn now." Finished Jenn.

She looked up at Matt who was on his video game, he began speaking without looking up, "I'm an amazing gamer, I also support many charities and support companies." Matt summed up quickly.

The contestants all gathered around Chris.

"Okay kids, the next and final challenge is called hide and find. The girls will go to the set that bests represents their talent or interest and the boys will have to find them. Last boy to find their teammate will be going home, and you can never comeback...ever." Chris explained, the boys gulped.

CC
Max: Sudden death. That's a bit of pressure. Luckily, I know exactly where Sarah will go.

"Okay girls, you've got ten minutes, spread out!" Chris said to begin the challenge. The girls ran off, their minds thinking about where to go.

CC
Jenn: There aren't many movie sets or movies about maths, so the decision was hard, but I think the school is the best one.

Skyler: I guess the daredevil movie set was the best place for a tight roping girl.

Sarah: Sport movie set, duh.

Jinx: Hunting movies.

Taylor: Horror movies were definitely my choice.

Gia: I'm not exactly sure about whe... Rock bio pic movie set.

Mocha: There aren't many artist movies, so I'm going to the cartoon area. Hopefully he'll work it out.

Ten minutes later.

"Boys, are you ready, are you set..." Chris said, all the boys looked forward and Chris pulled out a massive air horn.

BLLLAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!

Everyone jumped out their skin and a couple of birds fell out of trees, but they were off the moment they recovered. Unfortunately, Matt was a little behind on recovery as he'd been right next to Chris.

CC:
Matt: Ooooooowwwwwwwwww.

Cornelius ran off into the studio, his mind already crossing off places. He ran until he saw an intersection and then stopped to make it look like he needed to catch his breath.

CC:
Cornelius: Better slow down, give them a false sense of security.

Cornelius then ran off to the cartoon area. As he got closer, he heard someone banging around and knew he was right.

He rounded the corner and entered, "Surprised to see me, well, of course your not." Cornelius stated before spinning walking out with Mocha following right behind.

Max stood behind the ring on the basketball and sports set and waited for Sarah to o for the shot, she ran up to the hoop and jumped, ready to finish the lay up. Then Max bursts onto the court and swatted her.

Sarah jumped back and looked at Max who was laughing. She playfully punched his shoulder before laughing as well.

Omar thought back to his experience that afternoon.

(Flash backs in italics).
Gia put the headphones on his ears, then she pulled out her iPod and pressed play. Omar jumped behind a rock immediately, he then poked his head out from behind, "did it have to be so loud."
Omar then knew where to go and headed off to the music rock bio pic set.

Rickie thought about what Taylor's choice may have been and realized that her stunt was on par with something that either the circus did, or a daredevil did. He thought a little more and couldn't think about any circus movies, so he strolled off in the direction of the daredevil movie set.

Russell knew exactly where Taylor would be, the horror movie set. He ran as fast as he could there.

When he arrived, he looked around and saw Taylor almost praying to a chainsaw. He walked up to her and Taylor obviously heard him because she explained it, "This is the same chainsaw they used Chains Two, the best movie ever."

Matt got up and started running to the place where maths came from, school. Luke was also running to the hunting movie area after much thinking and it looked like they were neck and neck.

Matt took the lead before Luke overtook and put a bit of room between them, but Matt made it up and they were equal. Luke saw the set door was open and dived. Matt just kept running.
Matt's foot was about to step down and beat Luke when Luke's head hit the ground, signaling him as second last and unfortunately, sending Matt home.

CC:
Matt: I would of liked to stay a little longer, but what the heck, more gameboy time.

Everyone sat in the gilded Chris theater. They looked a little confused, "Why are we here when there's no voting?" Asked Rickie.

Chris looked at him, "So I can do this." He said and pressed a button.

Matt's area of bench disappeared and he slid down some kind of chute. He was screaming the whole way.

Everyone just watched wide eyed.

CC:
Mocha: I preferred the limo.

Chris walked over to the edge of the stage, "That's the end of that, episode 1 finito. Will Gia be nice to Omar? Did Matt survive the chute of shame? Will Mocha and Cornelius make up? Find out the answers to all these questions and more next time on Total, Drama, Return, of the Set.
