Who else is loving the new season of Total Drama? I'm obsessed! I have decided to make a sequel to this and another sequel after that. But that's after I finish this fanfiction, which will hopefully be sometime before I grow old and get struck by lightning. Anyway, today's chapter is told by Gwen. We're going to assume a time jump and several more have joined them. Gwen is on the bus as well. I really want to get to the good stuff.
Chapter 4 – THE HORROR! THE HORROR!
I hated that Chris could just wave a piece of paper in my face and get me to do this. He had tried nearly everything to get me to agree to help him, but what worked was the stupid contract that I will forever regret signing.
We were on our way to Harold's house. He was the last one we had to pick up. He lived in a suburban complex, and when we arrived, he was standing outside in his driveway.
"Ooh! It's my baby!" Leshawna exclaimed with joy. The bus door opened and many of us got out of the bus to greet Harold.
"Hey! What are you guys doing here?" he wondered in shock.
"Don't tell me you haven't seen the news!" Chris said in astonishment, "About that Terribly Nice Camp wanting our prime spot on television and such?"
"I saw it," Harold replied, "I thought it was just a joke! You mean it's real?"
"Yeah, it's real," I told him, "Now get on the bus so we can get this over with."
"But I can't leave now!" Harold exclaimed, "I promised my mom I'd clean the garage!"
"Come on, Harold!" Leshawna begged, "This is important!"
"So is helping my mom," Harold pointed out.
"Aw, is wittle Harwold gonna get yelled at by mommy?" Duncan taunted in a degrading voice.
"Be quiet, Duncan," Harold growled.
"Okay, how about this," I interrupted before Harold and Duncan could go for each other's throats, "Why don't we stay and help Harold? Then we can go faster."
"Yeah," Leshawna said, going over and pulling up the garage door, "I mean how hard could it be?"
The words had barely left her mouth when piles and piles of junk came pouring like a tidal wave out of Harold's garage.
"Garages are for cars, Harold," Duncan pointed out.
"And your point is?"
So, for the next hour and a half, all twenty two of us (Chris and Chef didn't help, no surprise) helped to clean out the junk yard that dared called itself a garage. At one point Harold's sweet potato mother came out, offering us all a suspicious liquid which was definitely NOT lemonade.
After we were finally done, Harold quickly got packed and we all got back on the bus. Chef was driving (scary!) while Chris was trying to set up a TV set on our raggedy bus.
"I managed to get a copy of the first episode of Terribly Nice Camp," Chris explained to us, "I suggest you watch it to see what we're up against."
He popped in the video and it started. Unlike our (totally lame but awesome) show, it started off with the theme song. And, oh God was it annoying! It was frilly and cutesy, not at all hinting at a malicious reality show. Pinks bears and happy ponies danced around on screen, making me cower in my seat where I sat next to Leshawna and Bridgette.
Finally, after the opening song was over, the host appeared. A tall, black haired woman, who was wearing a luxurious red gown and way too much make up stood in front of a large, beautiful mansion. "Good evening everyone," she greeted the imaginary audience, "My name is Christine VonPerfect."
As she said this, I saw Chris flinch. I thought it odd, but I quickly got over it. Christine was speaking again.
"It is my great honor to introduce Terribly Nice Camp!"
"It's not a camp! It's a mansion!" I grumbled.
"This is my co-host, Troop Master Wendy!" Christine gestured to the woman standing next to her. She was blond, and ditzy, and was wearing a huge smile, like her face was stuck that way.
After talking about how great the show was going to be (I doubted it,) the contestants started arriving, and she introduced them.
A beautiful and obviously slutty blonde girl named Bethany arrived first. After her was an incredibly short guy who looked just like a block with spiky hair and the word "kill" on his shirt. His name was BJ. Then an overly enthusiastic long black haired girl named Glenda showed up and hugged everyone. Another short guy (but not nearly as short as BJ) came next. He had a frown on his face and he looked like a seven year old about to throw a tantrum. Christine introduced him as Jeff (true story.) A curly blond hair girl in a business suit arrived next and, in a monotone voice, said her name was Lisa. The next chick was freaky. She had a big head, narrow hips, and pig tails that looked like pom poms. Her name was Daisy. The skinniest boy in the world named Danny came next. The next one, a jock with great hair named Taylor, made Tyler gasp.
"That's my cousin!" he exclaimed, "He never told me he was on a reality show!"
"Did you tell him you were on a reality show?" DJ wondered.
"Yes," Tyler replied, grumbling, "He thinks he's better than me at everything."
"He probably is," Courtney laughed.
Everyone hushed up as the next person arrived. We didn't want to miss any of our competition's names, so we could taunt them later. Harry looked sort of like a cooler version of Harold, only smarter looking and for some reason he had a picture of a turkey leg on his shirt. Rocky was a pimply faced loser with thick glasses and the words "I 3 Math" on his shirt. After him was Jackie, a tough looking blond kid wearing a leather jacket and spiked cowboy boots. Isaiah, the kid who arrived after him, was also a loser, but didn't have pimples like Rocky. He had a hair do that looked as though he were trying to convince the world that disco wasn't dead. A small brown skinned girl named Ruby arrived next. She had very long hair, and looked absolutely terrified, as if she was hiding in her room and her parents had forced her to do this.
The next two boys are very hard to describe. One was an incredibly fat boy with a freakish haircut looking like a cross between devil horns and having just rolled out of bed was standing and glaring at the boy next to him, who was thinner and darker toned, but having an equally disastrous haircut. The fat boy's name was Rudolf and the skinny boy's name was Rufus. By the look on their faces, they knew each other already, and didn't like each other. I snickered.
"It's like they're the opposites of Katie and Sadie," I pointed out to Leshawna and Bridgette.
They were about to reply when Katie and Sadie gasped. I thought they were offended by my comment, but I saw that they were staring at the screen.
"Katie!" Sadie exclaimed, "It's Bella!"
Bella looked just like a famous actress, and was wearing slutty clothing. She kissed at the camera. Katie groaned.
"Aw man!" she muttered, "I thought we were going to be rid of her again! How unfair!"
"I hate her," Sadie muttered, "Miss Know-It-All."
"You're just jealous because she came in first in the science fair, and you came in second," Katie pointed out.
"I should've won! What with my big magnet!" Sadie complained.
Katie gave her a stare. "She cloned her own dog," she reminded her friend.
"Big deal," dismissed Sadie, "Like the world needs another cockapoodle!"
"Shh!" Courtney hissed, "Someone else is showing up now!"
Indeed, a huge muscular dude was arriving, looking very manly. His shirt said "Buck," so I assumed that's what his name was. After Buck was a kid almost as skinny as Danny. Only he looked like he was actually trying to give off the tough guy look. His name was Adam. Ozzy looked like he had been a serial killer in a past life. He had a can-do smile, was incredibly skinny, and was sporting a thin mustache and goatee combo. I think Duncan liked the girl who arrived next. She was obviously a punk wannabe with a spiked color, black clothes and cross hatched stockings. She had a bored expression and was chewing gum. She was introduced as Coco. Tristan was also a pimply faced loser like Rocky, but it was very hard to say who the bigger nerd was. Where Rocky had dark hair, Tristan had light hair and was wearing a business suit, much like Lisa. Last to arrive was a stiff looking girl named Iggy. She was wearing a tie (what?!) and wore no expression whatsoever. She reminded me of a robot.
We watched as Christine announced that in honor of the first episode, no one was getting kicked out this challenge. The winning team would simply get to choose which side of the glorious mansion was theirs. This mad many of us angry, but we forced ourselves to remain quiet.
"I will now split you into your teams," TV Christine told the contestants, "Bethany, Glenda, Lisa, Daisy, Rocky, Buck, Isaiah, Iggy, Tristan, Ozzy, and Ruby! You will be Team Rainbow!"
At that, we had to pause the tape. "I'm sorry," Duncan said, "Their team name was 'Rainbow?'"
"I bet the other team is equally lame," Trent said, unpausing it.
"BJ, Danny, Jeff, Taylor, Harry, Jackie, Adam, Bella, Coco, Rudolf, and Rufus! You will be Team Unicorn!"
"Told you," Trent said, smugly.
We continued watching until Team Rainbow won and chose the Eastern side of the mansion, which wasn't any different from the Western side. By the time the episode was finished, was getting dark, and we still hadn't arrived at the air port yet.
And yes, we had to sleep on the bus. The dirty, disgusting school bus.
Well, there goes that idea. The point of this chapter was to let you know who the TNC characters were. I put the opposites in the same order as their TDI counterpart arriving on the island in the first season. That way it's easy for you to know who's the opposite of who.
I plan on drawing pictures of the TNC contestants so you know what they look like. When I do, I'll put them up on my Deviant Art account, name DragonTheKing. So you have that to look forward to as well as the next chapter!
Also, I'm starting the Second season of TDI vs. TNC, because my sister pointed out that I can! (Because the second season has to do with the Revenge of the Islanders plus Sierra and Alejandro, therefore, you don't really have to know much about this season. I'm reintroducing the new people, anyway. It's third season I can't do yet.)
So yeah! Vote for Courtney!
