Time for TDA:OL vs. NL once again. First, I gotta tell you guys, I had some major writer's block with this chapter. I'm not the most fashionable person, so I had some difficulty imagining all these outfits. But, I think I did a pretty good job with all 20 characters. Alright, enjoy!


"So, who's doing the cameo?" Staci asked.

"I am," said a voice that came from inside one of the portable changing rooms.

"Is that…?" Bridgette partially asked before the past contestant opened the door and revealed themselves.

"Why, yes. Yes it is!" said the mohawked delinquent.

"That's right, folks! Today's Cameo Contestant is, Total Drama Action winner (in the US at least), Duncan!"

Some cheers were heard from the contestants, mostly from Geoff, Scott, Staci, and Anne Maria. Everyone else was either silently shocked or not as enthusiastic about Duncan as the others.

Confession Cam

Bridgette - "Oh, you have got to be kidding! Why did it have to be my band that got Duncan? I would never want to play music alongside that backstabbing cheater! Ugh!"

*Static*

Geoff - "So awesome! My bro, Duncan, is gonna be in a band with me, Tyler, Ezekiel, and my girl! It's like a Killer Bass reunion up in here, dude! WHOO!"

*Static*


"Some of you may be wondering why I chose Duncan to be the Cameo Contestant in this challenge," Chris said.

"Not really," Bridgette replied.

"Well, I'm gonna tell you regardless. Ha-ha! If you guys remember back to season 2, Duncan totally rocked the rock biopic challenge, and during season 3, while he was out of competition, Duncan was a member of the band Der Schnitzel Kickers!"

"Yep," Duncan said as he walked over to his band, "I'm a real rocker. You guys are so lucky to have me in your band."

"Shyeah!" Geoff cheered.

"As if," Bridgette muttered.

"Now that that is settled," the Host continued, "It's time to do some changing! Everyone get ready…set…GO!" He blew an air horn to signal the start of the challenge.

The first person out of the preverbal gate was Dakota who sprinted towards the clothes racks.


*Static*

Dakota - "If shopping and fashion were Olympic sports, I would so win the gold medal for both!" *She thinks a bit* "No, wait! The silver medal! Silver goes much better with my eyes than gold."

*Static*


Everyone else made it to the clothes racks, but they weren't moving as quickly as Dakota, who already got clothes for herself and the other 4 members of her band.

"Wow, that was quick," Brick commented.

"Yep," Sam said, "That's my girl!"

"EEEE! We are gonna look so great together!" Dakota said as she started jumping with excitement. "Let's get changed! I call first!" She ran into the closest changing room and closed the door behind her. Before any of her bandmates could react, she opened the door and exited the changing room in her new outfit.

"How do I look?" she asked as she posed.

They were all wide-eyed with smiles on their faces as they all complimented her in their own way. Sam wolf-whistled, B gave a thumbs-up, Dawn said she looked great, and Brick said that he needed to get fashion tips from Dakota.

"I know," Dakota replied to the compliments, "I…am…good!"

Meanwhile, the rest of the bands were still looking for clothes as the rest of Dakota's band went to change.


*Static*

Confession Cam

Brick - "Yes! With Dakota's fashion expertise, the first part of this challenge should be a cinch! Then the team will sail to a third win in a row! Maybe when we're in the bus, Dakota can give me some fashion tips." *He pauses for a bit before crossing his arms and putting a serious look on his face* "Yeah, you heard me."

*Static*


*25 minutes later*

A small stage was setup right outside of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's entrance with a curtain separating the stage and the contestants waiting to be judged. Also waiting were the judges, who sat at a table in front of the stage.

"Alright, Total Drama rockers," Chris said to call attention to himself, "it's time for Chef Hatchet and myself to judge your band outfits. And they better be good, because Chef and I are gonna be strict and snippy! First, the band of Bridgette, Geoff, Tyler, Ezekiel, and our Cameo Contestant, Duncan! Come on down!"

Each member of the band walked through the curtain at a time. Bridgette walked out first in her aqua blue strapless tank top that she usually wears under her aqua blue hooded sweatshirt. She wore a denim jacket over the tank top along with acid wash denim jean pants with a few holes in them. She replaced her sandals with aqua blue Converse shoes and let her hair down out of her usual ponytail, in which she put a few temporary aqua blue streaks.

Geoff walked out next wearing his signature lucky hat. However, the rest of his usual clothes were not on his person. He wore a white unbuttoned button-up shirt instead of the usual magenta button-up, but he did ware a skinny tie that was the same color as his magenta shirt. He also wore acid wash jean shorts with a few holes in them and a pair of pink Converse shoes.

Tyler was next as he struggled trying to walk through the curtains. He wore a t-shirt, which was the same shade of red as his tracksuit. It read, "I Rock and You Don't," in white text on the front and the back of it. He wore black jeans that reach down onto his red Converse shoes.

Ezekiel ran out through the curtains with a goofy smile on his face, his hands in the air, and no shirt on. Luckily, he did have pants on, brown shorts that had a few tears in them. He also wore Converses, of the forest green variety.

Duncan walked out of the curtains and…

"Dude," Chris said, "You look exactly the same."

"Well, in my opinion, I already look like a rockstar," Duncan replied, "Besides, I did technically change. I gave my red Converses to Tyler and put on these black ones." Tyler nodded to confirm that Duncan spoke the truth.

"Alrighty then. Let's get to the judging. I'll go first." Chris paused as he looked over the band. Four of them showed signs of nervousness while Duncan just stood impatiently.

"I like that you all matched with the shoes, but you each have different colors and tastes." He paused again before continuing. "I'll give you guys a…9!"

The band cheered a bit before the Host continued, "It would have been a 10 if Zeke didn't look like The Hulk without the bulk."

"Aw…" Zeke groaned.

"My turn," Chef said, "I also liked the matching shoes, but I think the different colors contrast way too much. So, I give you guys a 6."

The whole team groaned after hearing Chef's explanation.

"That gives you guys a total of 15 points. Not bad, but there's still room for improvement. Next!" Chris called the next band which was the first band from the New Team.

The first member to walk through the curtain was Dawn. The first thing to notice about her was her face makeup. She had two lines of eye black under both of her eyes made to look like war paint. Her hair was put into a ponytail once again, but this time her ponytail had purple streaks (made from all natural ingredients made by a company that doesn't test on animals, of course) in it. She wore a light purple t-shirt that said, "Animals Rock!" in glitter. The shirt was a little too big for her petite physique so the collar reached from her neck to the side of her left shoulder. Instead of her usual purple skirt, she wore a plaid school girl-esque skirt with purple in place of the usual red. She also had her usual pair of purple leggings under her skirt down to a pair of black slip-on shoes.

B walked through the curtains next. He kept his baseball cap on, but other than that his outfit was completely different. Instead of his usual jacket and orange sweatshirt, he had an orange t-shirt that had a black printed image of a brain with electricity flowing around it on the front. He did wear his standard teal shorts and brown sneakers though.

Brick walked out next in a black t-shirt with a camouflage guitar printed on the front and in a pair of camo cargo shorts. He kept his army boots on as those were the only shoes that he was comfortable wearing and Dakota thought that they completed the outfit.

Next was Sam, who came out wearing a Rock Band 3 t-shirt which was a black shirt with the 5 instrument icons and the "3" from the logo in 3 rows and 2 columns. He kept his blue shorts on, but he did change his shoes from his usual orange sneakers to a pair of Vans shoes with black and white checkerboard patterns.

"And now," a familiar voice said from behind the curtains, "Prepare to be dazzled!"

Dakota was revealed to be the source of that voice as she pushed open the curtains and walked onto the stage. Her outfit was even pinker than her usual clothes. She wore a short hot pink shirt that had a glitter heart on the chest. The shirt was so short that it showed off her midriff. She also wore a pair of tight hot pink leather pants, and a normal pink newsy cap along with her usual pink slip-on shoes. She did a pose to try and further impress the judges.

"Wow!" Chris exclaimed, "Color me dazzled! I like that all five of you put a lot of your own personalities into your rocker clothes, even if some of those personalities are lame."

All members of the band didn't look very pleased about that comment.

"However, lame personalities aside, I give you guys a 9!"

Their expressions changed quickly as they cheered for their high score. Now it was Chef's turn.

"I also like the clothes matching your weak selves, but I'm not a big fan of purple and pink…"

This made Dakota and Dawn gasp in shock.

"But I do like camo! So, I'ma give you guys… a 7."

The band breathed a sigh of relief right before cheering for their even higher score.

"Alright, that gives you guys a total score of 16! One more point than Duncan's band."

*Static*

Bridgette - "'Duncan's band?' Hmph!" *She crosses her arms* "He shouldn't even be here, let alone participating in this challenge."

*Static*


"Since the New Team is currently ahead," Chris continued, "let's have the second New Team band out next. That way the ending is much more dramatic!"

The next band member to walk out was Zoey, who was dressed very similar to Dawn. Instead of wearing her red hair in pigtails, she took out her hair ties and let her hair down. Zoey, like Dawn, had eye black under her eyes made to look like war paint. She wore a t-shirt that was red like her regular top and, just like Dawn's shirt, it was a bit too big and it had glitter writing on it, except her glitter said, "Girl Power." Zoey also wore a school girl-esque plaid skirt, but her skirt looked like a standard school girl skirt. Under the skirt, she wore black leggings down to her black slip-on shoes.

Mike was next out of the curtains. He made sure to keep a shirt on, in order to keep Vito from showing up. However, he did change his exchange his regular shirt for a plain white sleeveless shirt and his regular jeans for a pair of black jean shorts. He kept his normal sneakers on.

The next band member to walk through the curtain was Scott. He kept his normal sleeveless shirt on, however he did exchange his jeans for black jean shorts. He kept his usual shoes on as well.

Next, it was the Jersey girl who walked through the curtains with her solid poofy hair. She replaced her violet top with a short, violet strapless tank top that exposed a lot of her torso, but not too much. Instead of jeans, she wore a black mini skirt that was a little too tight for comfort, and not just Anne Maria's comfort. She also had on a pair of knee high black leather high heel boots.


Confession Cam

*Static*

Zoey - "I guess Anne Maria didn't get the memo that we had to dress like rockers and not like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. She better not be trying to get Mike's, or should I say Vito's attention, by dressing so skimpy. Ugh!" *She pauses for a second before putting a smile on her face* "Speaking of Mike, did you see how hot he looked? Whew! I am such a lucky girl! EEE!"

*Static*

Mike - "Does Anne Maria really think that women in rock bands dress like that? If so, she's definitely never heard of Korey Cooper from Skillet.

*Static*

Scott - "Wow! I can honestly say that this is the first time that I've found Anne Maria attractive, until she starts talking, at least."

*Static*


The last member of the band was Staci. However, she was taking a bit of time walking through the curtains.

...

Soon enough, the judges and the rest of the band were losing their patience.

"Anytime now, Staci!" Chris called out.

...

Staci still didn't walk on the stage. That was when one of the other contestants walked backstage to see what was wrong.


Backstage

"Staci!" Tyler called out when he got backstage, "Staci, where are you?"

"I'm…over here," she said as she walked from behind a full clothes rack.

"Your band is waiting for you. What's the hold up?"

She sighed and said, "You can't tell anyone this, Tyler."

"I promise."

"I have…stage fright. I'm too nervous to walk out there and be judged by Chris and Chef."

"Why? I mean, you don't look bad."

She looked up at the Sport-o and asked, "You really think so?"

"Of course! I wouldn't lie to you. And, even though Chris and Chef are being harsh on everyone, I don't think they'll say anything bad about you," Tyler said with a genuine smile.

"Aww! Thank you Tyler! You're the best!" Staci told Tyler before she hugged him off the ground. She couldn't see it, but Tyler's smile went uneasy while he was being squeezed to death.


Confession Cam

*Static*

Staci - "Tyler is the sweetest guy I've ever met. Lindsay is such a lucky girl to have him as a boyfriend. If he was single and I wasn't going after Scott, I would sooooo go out with him! But, alas, I have to pry Scott out of the clutches of that tanned Jersey witch."

*Static*

Tyler - "I still think Staci can make a lot of friends here. She just needs to open up more, like she did with me. Maybe if Lindsay becomes a Cameo Contestant, I can introduce them. That would be sweet!"

*Static*


Stage

"Ok! I'm ready," Staci said before she walked through the curtains. Everyone that was watching gasped collectively as she was fully visible on the stage.

Staci covered her shortened hair with a wig that she found on the clothes racks. It looked very much like the afro wig that Heather wore in the second season. As for her clothes, she wore a pink dress that looked like it was a disco ball as each square of reflective material reflected any light that shone onto the dress. She also wore a pair of pink slip-on shoes.

Everyone that was watching her just stared silently at her in disbelief. That is, until Chris broke the silence with which signature chuckle which escalated to a full laugh. Pretty soon, everyone else was laughing too.

All of this laughing made Staci look down at her feet in embarrassment until the host said…

"Staci! You look awesome!" in between his laughter. This made Staci look up with a hopeful smile. "You look like a disco queen from the 80's," Chris continued in between chuckles.

"That's… good, right?" she asked in a confused state.

"It's hilarious! And making me laugh is always good," he replied as his laughter slowed. "Whew, that was a good laugh. Alright, time to judge. I'll go first, as usual."

Chris looked over the second New Team band again before voicing his opinions. He smiled his signature grin before starting.

"Staci looks hilariously awesome, Anne Maria looks incredibly hot, and Zoey looks a lot like Dawn."

"Dakota helped Dawn and I out at the same time," Zoey said.

"I don't multitask well!" Dakota yelled from somewhere unseen.

"Can I finish my judging please?" Chris asked as everyone went quiet. "Thank you! As I was saying…you girls look great, but Mike and Scott…you two look like country bumpkin twins."

"Hey! I resemble that remark!" Scott replied.

"All in all," Chris continued, "I give you guys a 7!"

The band cheered a bit after hearing their first score.

"Now, it's my turn," Chef said which instantly quieted the cheering. "First, I agree with Chris on a couple things. You two fools do look like country bumpkins."

"Hey! It's not my fault that Scott has zero fashion sense!" Mike replied.

"Tcch! Like I need any," Scott rebutted with a roll of his eyes.

"Shut up, Bumpkins!" Chef yelled to get them quiet. "The second thing that I agree with is that Ms. Chatterbox does look hilarious! In fact, you remind me of my prom date. Whew! She looked groovy back in the day. Now…not as much, but it does work on you, girl."

Staci clapped and jumped in celebration.

"The rest of you fools could learn a thing or two from Chatty Girl. So, I'm giving you guys a 6."

"Aww," was heard from most of the band, but Staci was still all smiles after getting complemented on her outfit, twice!


Confession Cam

*Static*

Anne Maria - "I can't believe dat…dat…Staci was actually praised by Chef. How could he like her more dan me? I looked hot! Chef must be blind or somethin'!"

*Static*

Staci - "I can't believe that Chris and Chef actually complemented my outfit! That is soooo awesome! Tyler was right! I had nothing to worry about. Now I know how my great-great-grandmother felt when she modeled in Paris.

*Static*


"Alright, that gives you guys a total of 14 points, which puts you guys in last place so far," Chris stated, "However, your teammates in the other band currently lead by one point over the first Old Team band. So all the second Old Team band needs is a 17 or higher to win the first part of today's challenge." The host then turned to the camera behind the judge's table. "Can the band of Katie, Sadie, Eva, Justin, and Noah get a score of at least 17 to win for the Old Team? Let's see! Let's go guys and girls!"

The first two through the curtain were, not surprisingly, Katie and Sadie. Also unsurprisingly, they were dressed exactly the same and they both took out their pigtails. Instead of letting their hair fall on behind their heads, they brushed their hair to the side and put some red and yellow temporary dye in. They also put on a lot of light blue eye shadow on along with feathers attached to their eyelashes. Around their necks, they had pink plastic pearl necklaces which lied on their chests and the tops of their black corsets. On their hands, they both wore black fingerless leather gloves with rhinestones on each knuckle. Below the corset on their torsos, they wore black layered lace skirts that looked like they were wearing pom-poms for skirts. Underneath the skirts, they wore black pantyhose that reached halfway down their calves. To complete their outfits they wore black short-heeled shoes with golden buckles on the topside.

Everyone that was watching stared at Katie and Sadie incredulously with their mouths wide open.


*Static*

Confession Cam

Katie and Sadie: Katie - "Can you believe it Sadie? We made them all speechless!"

Sadie - "I know! It was soooooo awesome! We soooooo won this challenge!"

Katie - "I know, right?"

Both - "EEEEEEEE!"

*Static*


The next one through the curtain was Noah. The first thing to notice about Noah was his hair. His hair was very curly and damp as it reached his shoulders. Also evident on his face were a pair of Aviator sunglasses with black lenses and golden frames that covered almost his whole face. On his torso, he wore a light blue t-shirt under a red leather jacket with golden designs on both sides of the zipper, which was unzipped. The sleeves of the jacket were rolled up to Noah's elbows so that his forearms were exposed. On his legs and feet, he wore a pair of black dress pants, white socks and a pair of black patent leather shoes.

When everyone saw what Noah was wearing, there was a collective sound of stifled laughter and giggles.


Confession Cam

*Static*

Noah - *He has his arms crossed as he glares at the camera* "That's the last time I let Katie and Sadie dress me."

*Static*


The next band member to walk through the curtains was Eva. The first thing to notice that was different was her hair style. She had taken off the hair tie that gave her signature ponytail, so now her hair was free flowing on her head. Other than her hair, Eva wasn't dressed any different than usual.

Last, but not least, was Justin who dramatically pushed the curtains as he walked through them. He, of course, didn't have a shirt on. However, he did wear a pair of acid wash jeans with several holes in them as well as a pair of old while Nike sneakers. After showing off his rockstar clothes, he started doing poses which included flexing, gyrating, and other suggestive motions.

"Umm… dude? Justin? Why are you dressed like a hobo who got his shirt stolen?" Chris asked.

"Hobo?" Justin asked right back, "This is such a rockstar look, Chris. Like those guys in those garage bands."

"Ooooo-k then. Let's start then judging."

Chris gave the whole group a second look. When he looked at Katie, Sadie, and Noah, he had to stifle his laughter.

"Ha-ha! I'm sorry, but you three look like you took a time machine back to the 80's. Especially you, Noah," Chris said amidst some chuckling. This laughter didn't sit too well with Noah, who crossed his arms and furrowed his brow.


Confession Cam

*Static*

Noah - "He would know how the 80's were, since he probably lived through them. All ten years."

*Static*


"As for the other two, you guys barely even tried, especially you, Eva."

Eva growled a bit. "If you think I'm gonna dress up like them," she said while pointing her thumb at Katie and Sadie, "Then you're crazier than Izzy."

"Nevertheless, you two don't look very 'rock star.' It's too bad that the rockin' looks from the 80's trio didn't rub off on you two. Otherwise you would have gotten more than a 7 from me. So, now you guys need a 10 from Chef to win for your team. Chef?"

Attention was shifted to Chef who stared at the band in front of him. The band waited in silence for the Judge's decision. After a bit of silence from Chef, he just yelled one word. "Five!"

This score made the band as a whole gasp in shock.

"Muscle Girl: No effort! Pretty Boy: More model, less substance. Twins: You look like love children of Madonna and Cyndi Lauper! And Egghead: You look like a Michael Jackson impersonator! I don't like effortless copycats! Now, beat it!"

The band walked off the stage as a few of them hung their heads in shame.

As they walked off the stage, Chris chuckled and said, "Beat it. Good one, Chef! Ha-ha!"

Both judges got up from their table and walked to where all 4 bands stood.

"Alright, New Team," Chris announced, "You guys won the 10,000 point bonus thanks to the band of Dakota, Sam, Brick, B, and Dawn!"

Everyone on the New Team cheered for the advantage that they were awarded.

"Now, it's time for part 2 of today's challenge, which I will explain, after the break! But first…"

The Host turned toward the camera that was placed behind him.

"Which team will be good and which will be 'Bad?' Is this challenge gonna be a 'Thriller' like some of the past challenges? And will part 2 'Rock Your World?'"

"And will the host stop making Michael Jackson jokes that aren't funny?" Noah asked offscreen.

Most of the contestants and Chef laughed at Noah's joke while Chris looked unhappy about being interrupted.

"Find out," Chris continued with his grin, "After the break."


Alright! As you can already tell, this challenge is episode is gonna be a three-parter when it comes to chapters. That may happen from time to time, especially if I get writer's block again. Don't know if that will be a good thing or a bad thing for you guys, so feel free to voice your opinions in your reviews. Also, the poll for past contestants that you'd like to see make cameos in this fanfic is still open on my profile. Also open is the cover picture contest, so if you're an artist and you have an idea for a cover, send the pic to me and the picture may become the official cover for Total Drama Avengeance. Also, the winner of the contest will also have an Original Character of theirs make an appearance in a future chapter. Alright, hope you all enjoyed chapter 8! Chapter 9 should be up the Tuesday after this one.

P.S.: You may have noticed the mentions of Michael Jackson in this chapter. Well, that's because June 25th is the 3rd anniversary of his sudden death, and I felt the need to mention him especially since he was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and this challenge is a music related. RIP Michael Jackson.
