Right. I don't wanna know about the medical inaccuracies, I know there's tons. It's just part of my plan. Thanks for reviewing, CvluvFoxy, Starburst278 and Ali6132.
"Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you, can't help it if there's no one else..."
My eyes flickered open. I was in a hospital, I could tell that much, but I felt like something was missing.
"Amethyst Jettison?" an unfamiliar nurse came over.
"Amee." I managed. "No one calls me Amethyst."
The nurse checked her notes. "Suffering from memory loss after a blow to the head...possible relapse. Okay, Amee, can you tell me, what's the last thing you remember?"
I thought back. "I got my acceptance letter for Total Drama World Tour..." I gasped. "Oh my...what happened to me? Did I get hurt before that and miss out on competing?"
"Listen." the nurse said ."You are suffering from memory loss. I personally watched that show and you did compete. You got knocked out while you were competing in the fifth season, Total Drama All-Stars. Then you passed out during the finale and it seems that you weren't given sufficient medical care while you were knocked out, resulting in a relapse that was worse than your original state. I'm afraid what you've forgotten is two years' worth of time. According to the notes I have, you recently turned nineteen years old."
I only remembered being only just seventeen. "What about my mom...and my brother...do they know I'm here? And my dad?"
"We've contacted them." the nurse told me. "They'll be in to see you later today. Also, the others who brought you in said they'd visit. Some of the old contestants that were on All-Stars – six of them."
"So what's going to happen with my memory?" I asked.
"According to the doctor, your memory is now stable." the nurse said. "They had to do some surgery and X-rays, but you should not have any more relapses, and should slowly regain some memories as time passes. We're keeping you under observation for a couple of days, but since you've woken up, you should be able to go home after the doctor's checked you over."
The visit from my parents and my brother Hamish was normal. "So there's been how many seasons of Total Drama?"
"Five." My mom said. "Maybe you'd like to watch them to regain your memory?"
I nodded. "Yeah, it might help."
After my parents and Hamish left, it was a few minutes before a voice called "Miss Jettison, there are six more visitors." They were let in, but I only recognized two of them, and not from real life. I'd only seen them on TV before, but I'd know the Total Drama Island/Action contestants Gwen and Heather anywhere, although Heather's hair had grown back after the two years mentioned.
The other four people I didn't recognize. There was a pretty redhead with her hair in pigtails and a flower, holding hands with a taller boy with spiky hair and tan skin, a tiny African-American boy in a red hoodie...and someone that felt very familiar but I couldn't place. He was muscled, wearing a bull necklace and smiling. The main thing I could see was that he was gorgeous, and it was hard not to get lost in his green eyes.
"How are you, Amee?" Gwen asked, and it was weird to hear her actually talking to me.
"Okay, I guess." I said. "Apparently I've forgotten everything after getting accepted on Total Drama World Tour, so I don't really remember most of you. I know Gwen and Heather from TV, but no one else."
Everyone gave me a sympathetic frown.
The redhead tried to smile at me. "Well, I'm Zoey. I competed on the fourth season of Total Drama, and the fifth season, when we were on the same team. That's Mike-" the boy with spiky hair - "And Cameron." The small boy.
"We were quite good friends." Cameron piped up. "We talked quite a lot when we were hanging out at Playa Des Losers after getting sent home."
Mike's gaze fell for a moment when he said that, but he looked up again quickly enough.
"And that over there," Heather said, indicating the gorgeous guy, "Is Alejandro. And because I know you get psycho whenever anyone else does it, you told him it was okay to call you Amethyst. Charming jerk." she muttered.
"Oh, Heather, you don't have to pretend you don't like me." Alejandro teased her.
"Just because we're dating doesn't mean I can't stand you half the time!" Heather shot back. "Before you lost those years, the three of us had an agreement." she explained. "So he's dating both me and you."
I frowned.
Alejandro crouched so he was at my level, and caressed my hand in both of his. "Can you really not remember me, Amethyst? Think back."
I sighed. "I can't." I said. "I'm sorry. But you do seem more familiar. I think I recognize you, but nothing about you."
Heather gave a smirk. "You might want to rewatch the third season before you decide to rejoin this agreement, then. After rewatching it myself, I have to say, you were pretty sneaky. I couldn't believe how much you knew and kept to yourself."
"Lay off, Heather." Mike said. "Anyway, I need to say something. After all, it's my fault she's here."
"It's not your fault." Zoey said quietly. "It's Mal's."
"No, I mean, I know, but..." Mike came a little closer to me. "I want to apologize." he said. "I was the one that knocked you out the first time. I mean, it wasn't me, I wasn't in control of myself, but, still...I'm sorry."
I smiled weakly. "It's okay, Mike. Like you said, you didn't mean to do it."
When I got home four days later, I did get to watch all the recorded seasons of Total Drama World Tour and Total Drama All-Stars. I was amazed at seeing myself interact with everyone. Izzy, one of my favourites, was my friend, along with Noah, who I didn't really know. Tyler and Owen were also on my team. I was...wait...I had been dating Alejandro for that long? Was that why he was so familiar?
I didn't really understand why I'd been drawn to him. Sure, he was gorgeous, but I was one of the few people on the show who knew that he was trouble. I saw my confessionals talking about the way he'd manipulated Bridgette in an early episode, and his own confessional after he spied on me finding out about it.
"Amethyst being on my team will make it harder to keep her quiet without eliminating her. But losing a challenge is a small price to pay for having the upper hand in this competition."
Sure enough, our team actually lost the challenge after that, but that was only because we had baby carriages with us and Heather switched our one with a regular one nearby. Besides that, it was only a reward challenge and no one got eliminated.
After I learned about Sierra's blogs, I went on my laptop to check if I had one. I found two – one that was just me, and an "Alethyst" site - basically a blog that had everything concerning my relationship with Alejandro – Sierra seemed to know everything about it. My own fanblog was even worse – there was all of this personal stuff – even things I didn't remember about myself! Oh yeah, and she'd written a label. For me, it was the "Secret-Keeper", because of everything I'd kept to myself – mainly knowing Alejandro's true intentions, as well as his crush on Heather, and his reasons for playing Courtney, etc.
I figured I should check out Sierra's fanblog about the other people I'd competed alongside, so naturally, I started with Alejandro. His label was the "Arch Villain", which worked, but didn't really say much about him that I could see, even in the show. There had always been a fine line between competitiveness and evil in reality shows. When it came to everything I saw, Alejandro wasn't a villain in conventional terms. He was simply a victim of reality TV, driven to acting "evil" by the competition.
Mike, I discovered, was the "Multiple Personality Disorder". His blog explained exactly what had happened to him. He had five alternate personalities, and the one that had knocked me out was a previously suppressed one called Mal, short for "The Malevolent One" - basically Mike's evil twin. He'd not only knocked me out – he'd tried to kill Cameron around the same time, one of his good friends, and he'd been all too ready to kill Zoey, his girlfriend, in the finale (while her being put in danger often got Mike back in control). Luckily, Mike had somehow taken control again.
I quickly looked up most of the other contestants I didn't remember that I'd competed with – Zoey ("Indie Chick") and Cameron ("Wide-Eyed Bubble Boy") of course, but also Sam ("Nice-Guy Gamer"), Scott ("Devious"), Jo ("Take-No-Prisoners Jockette") and Lightning ("Athletic Overachiever"). Sierra hadn't made a blog for herself, but she had made several "Coderra" blogs, which focused on her "relationship" with Cody (a.k.a, it looked like she was more obsessed with him and he tolerated her more than anything on the show, but later accepted her as a friend).
I managed to get "All-Stars" on YouTube, and checked out what I'd been up to. I saw myself becoming friendly with Cameron, trying to protect him from Sierra (who had started thinking he was Cody, and begun going creepy stalker on him), and worrying about Mike/Mal.
I had been instructed to stay at home for a few weeks and try to surround myself with familiarities of the last two years, so that's what I was doing. About a fortnight after I'd gotten home, I got an email from the Total Drama production crew.
