Chris Maclean was standing on the Dock of Shame, as usual, to introduce the show. However, there was something a little bit different about the Dock. It wasn't on a beach anymore. The Dock was now built into a high wall that separated the set of Total Drama Virtual from the road. The same wall also blocked any view of the actual set.

"Welcome to Total Drama Virtual! It's me, Chris Maclean, standing on the Dock of Shame. We've moved some of the original props into our swanky new set to give all of our campers and viewers a nostalgic feeling. "

Chris paused for a moment to flash a grin for the camera.

"This season has some very special surprises! Sadly, Owen and Tyler will not be joining us in this exciting season for personal reasons but we have two new campers to take their places. All twenty-two campers will compete for a $100,000 prize. Any minute now, the campers will be arriving."

Chris turned and searched the road for signs of the campers. After waiting for about 30 seconds he starts to look impatient.

"Any minute now."

Suddenly, a motorcycle appeared on the horizon and the sound of high pitched and slightly hysterical laughter was heard. There was also some loud screaming.

"Duncan! Duuuuuncaaaan! Heeheeee……. Lookey lookey Duncan! The road stopssss here! Stopping road? Road stoppeth? Stoppingeth Roadeth?"

As the motorcycle pulled up, Chris stared at the girl behind Duncan on the motorcycle. I could have sworn that voice belonged to…. Nah, couldn't be.

Duncan pulled the helmet off Courtney's as she started singing her ABC's. Chris' jaw dropped.

"Duncan, what did you do to Courtney?"

"Well, after we decided to not take that death trap you sent to pick us up, I decided to borrow this motorcycle from some guy who was there."

"You stole a motorcycle?" asked Chris, "Wow. Didn't see that coming. Not!"

"No, actually I really did borrow it. Courtney made me leave a note. Well, anyway, after we started to drive away, Courtney found out that she has a fear of motorcycles and became this mess."

Courtney walked over to Chris and started hitting him on the head.

"Evil TV man! Your magic will not work on meeee!"

"No no no!" Duncan said. "Princess, don't hit him. You have to mess up his hair."

Chris screamed in terror and hid under the Dock of Shame just as a bus pulled up. The bus looked like it had just been pulled out of a junkyard and had clouds of smoke coming out of the engine. Five campers quickly ran out of it with angry looks on their faces.

Beth, Geoff, Katie, Sadie, and Ezekiel all shouted together:

"WHERE'S CHRIS?"

Beth saw him cowering under the Dock first and walked over to him.

"Chris, are you too cheap to actually get us a bus that works? You'd have to be stupid to think that we would stand for the way we were treated in Total Drama Island again! If you mess with us, there will be HELL to pay!"

With that, she poured her water bottle all over his head. All the campers except for Courtney applauded her and she turned around and smiled. Most of them gasped at her new look. Beth was no longer wearing slightly dumpy looking clothes, glasses, or braces. She was wearing a plain green t-shirt and a pair of cutoff jean shorts.

"Beth, Beth," said Courtney deliriously," You messsssed with evil TV man! And you got white teeth! No brace face! Brace face mace… mace case…. mace case brace face! Heehee!"

Katie and Sadie both rushed over to Courtney.

"Oh my gosh, what's wrong with her?" Katie asked.

"She has a fear of motorcycles." replied Duncan.

"What does that have to do with her being like that, eh?" asked Ezekiel.

"How do you think we got here?" Duncan asked him. "Do you see another death trap bus rattling around here?"

At that moment something went by the campers at about 100 miles per hour.

"Did you guys hear screaming?" asked Katie.

"And maniacal laughter?" added Sadie.

"Izzy!" said Beth and Geoff together.

The same bus turned around and started to head for the campers. Izzy's screaming could be heard above everyone elses.

"Okay, everyone!"This is just like a movie! On the count of three, you all jump out! Don't worry, I've done this thousands of times before and haven't gotten hurt except for that one time I went into a coma!"

"That was NOT helpful Izzy!" yelled Noah.

"You know, I have a fear of breaking every bone in my body," screamed DJ.

"1, 2, 3, JUMP!"

Noah, DJ, Izzy, Cody, Bridgette, Heather and Trent jumped out of the bus and fell together in a heap. The bus continued to go and destroyed the Dock of Shame while Chris ran for his life.

As they all struggled to get up, they started to argue.

"Now who thought it was a good idea to let Izzy look at the engine when it broke down," asked Noah.

"The same person that convinced us to get on the bus in the first place," said Heather while glaring at Cody.

"Well, I'm sorry, but we would have never gotten here if we didn't have someone look at the engine. Besides, there was no other way to get here!" argued Cody.

"Come on! Izzy fixed the engine, didn't she?" said Izzy.

"Yes, you did Izzy," said Bridgette," but you also disconnected the brakes by accident and got the accelerator jammed all the way down."

DJ whimpered for his mommy as all the campers looked towards the road to see if they could see the next bus. Instead of a bus, they saw Eva, Justin, Gwen, and Harold walking towards them. When the four finally arrived, Justin, Gwen, and Harold collapsed on the ground.

"I just walked so far. I think it was around four miles," gasped Gwen. Trent rushed over to her in concern.

"You're all such wimps. It wasn't that far!" said Eva.

"It feels that far when you have to run for your life away from a bus that some psycho is driving!" Gwen yelled at Izzy. Izzy looked at Gwen apologetically.

"Too bad my mad skills couldn't fix that bus," wheezed Harold.

"Your 'mad skills' couldn't fix a go-kart!" said Justin.

"He TALKS!" screamed Courtney, "Silent cutie talks! Duncie he talks!" Justin flashed her a smile and posed for her. Most of the female campers (and even some of the male ones) swooned but Courtney just stared at him.

"What's wrong with her?" asked Eva.

"Long story," replied Duncan.

Gwen surveyed the crowd of people in front of her as Chris stopped cowering and walked over to the group.

"I thought there were new people joining this competition?" she asked.

"Good question, Gwenie!" said Chris chipperly. "There are two new people coming. They should show up eventually.

"Don't call me Gwenie," Gwen said as she glared at Chris with pure hate. Trent patted her shoulder comfortingly.

"Why are only two new people coming?" asked Beth.

"Well….." said Chris.

Gwen continued to glare at Chris as a van came into sight. The van pulled up and four people got out. Leshawna walked over to the window of the car.

"Thanks for the ride!" she said.

As the car pulled away, Leshawna, Lindsay, and the two new campers waved goodbye.

"Welcome to Total Drama Virtual, Pinkie and Jacob!" Chris smiled his biggest smile and did the arm movements that had become the trademark opening of Total Drama Island. Most of the campers looked at him in disgust. Then they turned to look at Jacob and Pinkie.

"Nice to meetcha, man," said Jacob.

"Ditto" said Pinkie as she looked at her new fellow campers.

"Is Clive ignoring us?" asked Lindsay.

Jacob was a tall, good looking guy who was wearing a blue t-shirt and jeans. There wasn't anything really special about him. Pinkie was very pale with pink glasses. Her long brown hair was in braids and she was wearing a hot pink tee shirt. On her wrists, she had two large bracelets that looked heavy. In short, she looked like a huge geek.

"Now, let's get the real competition started!" said Chris with a sadistic chuckle.
