AN: The Sims of the contestants are done. You may view them on my deviantart profile. A link is in my profile.

This first chapter is just introductions, but please read all the way, for there is a twist. Let me know if I messed up any characters.

Chapter 1—Big Apple, Big Dreams

***Intro***

Chris: Welcome to a new season of Total Drama. Total Drama American Tour! That right! We're taking 16 lucky contestants on a trip around the United States of America to compete for another million dollars! Join me, your host Chris McLean, on an exciting adventure as we travel from East Coast to West Coast and maybe make a few stops in between. Sixteen contestants compete, but only one will win. Find out here!

***Start Game***

"We had someone drop out." Chris was on the phone. "Bye."

Chris hung up his cell phone. He and Chef Hatchet arrived at John F. Kennedy airport in New York City to meet the new contestants. The first to arrive was a girl wearing a blue plaid shirt with a camera around her neck. "Hi Jane." Chris said to her.

"Hi Chris. Can I take your picture?" Jane took her camera off her neck and started to take a picture of Chris. The host smiled with an almost perfect white grin. Jane pressed the shutter button on her camera and a picture was taken in a fraction of a second.

"Can I see it?" Chris asked. Jane showed him the picture on the LCD screen. "Nice. Goes great in my house."

The next contestant arrived wearing a black t-shirt. "Everyone viewing, this is Josh!"

"Any hot girls here?" Josh asked as he went to join Jane in the waiting area.

"We'll find out. Our next contestant is Tonia."

Another female contestant arrived wearing an all-pink outfit. "Hi Chris." She said quickly as she joined the others. Josh was quick to start flirting. "Are you single? Cause if you are, I…"

Tonia slapped Josh before he could finish his sentence. "Ow."

Chris announced the next contestant. "Now, we have another girl coming. Her name's Roxanne!"

Roxanne wore a green tank top and tan cargo shorts. "It's 'Rocky.'" she said quickly to Chris. She looked like she could pummel anyone that was there. "Can we just get this over with?"

"Whatever." Chris introduced the next contestant, who was a boy wearing a school uniform. "Hey everyone, this is Jasper!"

Jasper walked by slowly, not saying a single word. He joined the others, still not saying anything as another contestant wearing green and yellow came in and yelled out, "GREEN BAY!" The other contestants just sighed, with Rocky muttering to herself, "He must be the obsessed fan." Chris introduced him as Xander. Just as Xander joined the others, another female contestant arrived.

"Hi Chris." Said a contestant wearing a purple t-shirt and a side ponytail.

"Hi Michelle. Welcome to New York City." Michelle went to join the others.

Another contestant arrived at the airport, but not through the terminal, but the entrance of the airport instead. "I had to bus it here, Chris!" the guy said, wearing a skull logoed t-shirt. He had purple highlights in his hair, so it would be easy to spot him in a crowd. "The stupid airline wouldn't fly me here from North Carolina!"

"Not my problem, Lucas." Chris responded. "Just join the others."

"No Fly List my ass." Lucas muttered to himself as he joined the rest of the contestants in the waiting area.

Another girl arrived wearing a red blouse. "This is Holly." Chris briefly mentioned.

"Nice meeting you." Holly responded. She went over to where the others were. "This is it?" she thought to herself.

"Hey there. Want to go out?" Josh asked immediately.

"In your dreams, freak. Keep your thoughts to yourself." Holly answered with a bit of sarcasm.

The tenth contestant arrived. She wore a purple vest with a black shirt underneath. "What's up Chris. The name's Seeiah."

"See-uh, whatever." Chris tried to say her name, but always came out short. "I'll have to give you a nickname. I can't pronounce it."

Seeiah went to join the others. Roxanne was the first to comment on her bald head. "Are you a man or a woman?"

"Does that matter to you?" Seeiah answered, in a voice suggesting a woman's.

"Wow. What a freak. Am I the only sane one here?" Lucas added.

"Mwahahaha!" Someone was laughing in the airport corridor.

"What was that?" Xander asked. He went outside the waiting area to find out what the laughter was all about. Walking towards Chris was a boy in a black trench coat and spiky red hair. He simply would not stop cackling at the top of his lungs. The passers-by were starting to notice what was going on as this contestant made his entrance.

"This is Jake, everyone." Chris stated.

"Hope he's not on my team." Xander thought to himself. "He's really creeping us out."

Another female arrived. She looked Asian, yet had brown hair. "What's up everyone! I came to win!" Her name was Leilene.

"Welcome!" Chris answered as Leilene joined the others. Xander went back as well, as a contestant with an open blue shirt arrived. "This is Dakota."

"'Sup." He answered. The girls swooned over him as Dakota entered the room, showing off his abs to them.

"Cute!" Two of the girls in the waiting area remarked.

"Thanks." The cowboy replied.

The last of the girls arrived. Wearing a plain white t-shirt and cowboy boots, she introduced herself to Chris. "I'm Samantha, from Dallas."

"Dallas?" Dakota responded. "I'm from there, too."

"Great!" Samantha replied.

"We've got two more contestants to introduce." Chris interrupted the two Texans. "Next is Elijah."

Elijah arrived wearing mostly black. "What's been up, McLean?" He said jokingly.

"Nothing really. We need to introduce our last contestant, so get with the others already."

Elijah joined everyone else. Chris had one last contestant to introduce. "Our last contestant is Jason."

No response.

"Jason? Was he the one that dropped out?"

Suddenly, a huge muscular guy in overalls arrived to meet Chris. "Are you Jason?"

"No? I'm Logan. The producers told me I replaced him." The buff guy answered.

"Whatever. Just join the others."

"Everyone here?" Chris asked as all sixteen new contestants were still sitting in the waiting area. "All we need to do now is form teams. If I call your name, stand on my right." Chris called the names, "Samantha, Xander, Dakota, Seeiah, Michelle, Logan, Jane, and Elijah." All eight called contestants got up and stood where Chris told them. "Everyone else, stand on my left." The other eight contestants got up.

"Those on my right will be called, 'Team Freedom,' and their team color is red. The other team is 'Team Liberty,' and their team color is blue."

***Confessional***

Jake: Let's see here. Perfect for my plans. These losers will go down.

Samantha: Dakota and I are from Dallas? And we're on the same team? Amazing!

***Back to Game***

Chris took the contestants out of the airport briefly and into Central Park. He explained the rules along the way. "Each destination will have one challenge, where one team will win, and the other will have to vote someone off. Later in the game, there will be a merge where every contestant is for themselves."

"We've seen the show before. We know this." Jake interrupted.

"Shush." Chris hushed Jake quickly. "The losing team will vote someone off in a new version of the Total Drama Jumbo Jet. One of the contestant's parents from an earlier season sued and so we had to make sure this jet is perfectly safe, but Chef and I can still torture you in other ways."

"Where is the plane?" Elijah asked.

"At the airport, still being fabricated. One Chef won't build a plane in a day. It might even take a week. Anyway, contestants receiving a golden Statue of Liberty this week will be safe from elimination. Unlike previous seasons, the safe item changes every destination."

"How do we know what it is?" Tonia remarked.

"I'll tell you."

"OK, then. Can they all be gold?"

"Uh…no."

Tonia started to cry. "Don't worry." Leilene tried to comfort her.

"Here's the deal," Chris said to the contestants. "I'm adding a new twist to this season, and it happens right now! Two of you won't even get to go to our first real destination next week."

"What?" Everyone was shocked.

"That's right. Each team has to vote someone off right now."

"But we just formed teams! We don't know anyone." Dakota interrupted.

"Don't worry." Logan said, "I've got your back."

Chris had one last thing to say, "Come back in three hours. Team Freedom, you're voting first, then Team Liberty."

AN: Voting time! Each reviewer should vote off one person on their team. You may only represent your character. Only votes submitted via PM will be accepted. Since this is a double elimination, both teams will be voting. Votes will be tallied in either three days or after everyone has voted. (Whichever comes first.) You can still review the story, but your vote must be sent via PM, or it won't count.

If you do not vote, I will vote on behalf of your character.

Teams:

Team Freedom: Elijah, Logan, Dakota, Xander, Samantha, Seeiah, Michelle, Jane

Team Liberty: Jake, Jasper, Lucas, Josh, Tonia, Holly, Leilene, Roxanne
