Aftermath 2: A Flight of Events
It was another sunny day in Central Park as the audience filled up the bleachers once again. Moments after the crowd settled down, Jane started the show. "Welcome once again to the Total Drama American Tour Aftermath Show! Please welcome our old guests. It's time to present Elijah, Seeiah, Tonia, and Roxanne!" All four old guests arrived and sat down on a brand new white couch while Jane continued. "Joining them are six more wonderful guests. First off, we have a rebel musician that dyes his own hair purple. He's a bad boy, and knows how to charm the pants off any girl he sees. Please welcome Lucas!"
Lucas walked onto the stage and sat down in a folding chair. "Hi Jane."
"How was your time on TDAT?"
"Horrible. Everyone wanted me gone from the start."
"Not really. You did cause quite a bit of mischief, and you kept flip-flopping teams."
"Chris made me! Everyone thought I was the bad guy. But we all know by now that Chris talked to Dakota back in Washington."
"He's just a pawn." Seeiah decided to interrupt. "He's so dumb, that he doesn't know how to button his own shirt. He's nothing but eye candy."
"What about Logan? He's not the sharpest tool in the shed either."
"Enough about the others, Lucas." Jane focused everyone back onto the subject. "Tell us about your time after you were voted off in Orlando."
"You mean after the cops started chasing me?
"Yes, tell us more." Lucas told Jane his story about he ran into some old friends of his and after an hour, he was finally finished.
"Thank you Lucas."
"Can I sing a song now?"
"A short one." Lucas got out a harmonica and started to sing a song.
America, America
I love you oh so much.
But why do you hate me?
I only do so much.
"Okay. Rhyming words with themselves leads to you getting booted off my stage. Bye!" an intern dragged Lucas off the stage in time for Jane to introduce her next guest. "Well, we have another male contestant with us. I hope you like football as much as he does. Give a warm welcome to our Green Bay Packers fan boy, Xander!"
Xander walked onto the stage and sat in the chair Lucas was just in. "Hey everyone! Go Green Bay!"
An audience member was the first to heckle. "You look dorky with that cheese block!"
After the heckling, Jane started the interview. "How was Bentonville?"
"A dump. Dakota used me, and now he's tag-teaming with Jake and Logan, that backstabber."
"I know Dakota wronged you, but you have to know that he's working for Chris."
"Knew that already. That's old news. I applied for a scholarship at a local Wisconsin community college. Maybe I can turn pro!"
"That's nice. We're here to talk about your time on TDAT. How were the other players? Any dirt on them?"
"Well, Jasper loves watching static on the TV and stares off into space. Josh sings in the shower at night, and I caught him talking to himself a few times. Logan doesn't even lift weights. He says his muscles are natural."
"Wow. Sounds like Josh was creepier than we thought. Anyway, Who do you want to win?"
"Tough question. Let me get back to you on that."
"Maybe next aftermath then? You're taking up valuable stage space, and we have four more people to interview. Stay tuned for more aftermath madness after this short commercial break!"
***Commercial***
Chris: Congratulations to our twenty-four new contestants for season five of Total Drama. Total Drama Colors will begin as soon as this current one's done! Provided I don't die in the course of TDAT, I will be taking these teens to an amusement park they will never forget. Enjoy such stereotypes as The Retro Gamer, The Lyricist, The Punk Rocker, and The Crazy Stalker. Stay tuned to find out more.
***Back to Show***
Jane greeted the audience again. "Welcome back to the Aftermath show. Our next two guests formed a nice couple on the show, so it would be nice of them to introduce them together. Please welcome the blank slate Jasper and his girlfriend Leilene!"
Jasper and Leilene enter the stage and sit down on two folding chairs next to Jane. "Hi. What's up Jane?" Jasper didn't feel like himself. That last line felt like he was eager to say that.
"Whoah! Jasper is that you?"
"Yeah. Thanks to Leilene here, I feel a lot more confident about myself and I can take on the world. She's even going to take me to her town somewhere in California!"
"Yeah. How was your time of TDAT?"
"Pretty cool. I met a lot of cool friends like Josh and a lot of enemies like Lucas. I'm glad I did it even though I didn't talk much before the show. My parents spent a lot of money to have me in speech therapy, but now I don't need it anymore!"
"That's nice, man. Leilene, tell us about your experience."
"I felt like I was under the radar for most of the tour, but in Detroit I felt a little blindsided. I'm not mad or anything, but I am curious as to what happened."
"How did you like that challenge where everyone had to hop on one foot?"
"Terrible. It was the worst challenge I ever did. That first challenge sounded better. What was Chris thinking, Jane?"
"I have no idea. It would have been cool seeing you guys do a criminal heist instead of that lame challenge."
"Sure. Get Xander and Lucas back here! We're going to play a short game that has nothing to do with Detroit." Xander and Lucas rejoin Jane as two interns bring out a large dunking machine. Jane started to explain the rules. "Attention viewing audience, which one of these four peeps gets to go into the tank?"
"Lucas! Lucas! Lucas!"
"Lucas it is! Get in there!"
"Do I have to?"
"Yeah. Xander, Jazz, and Leilene will try to dunk you with these car mufflers." Jane then whispered to the three throwers. "These are from Detroit. Don't tell the audience that, also watch where you throw them." Jane then spoke out loud to the audience. "Whoever manages to dunk Lucas into the water wins a free TDAT t-shirt. Read? GO!"
Jasper went first. He tried throwing the car muffler, but it only went two feet. Leilene was next. Her throw barely hit the target. Xander went, and missed. "Aww. All three of you missed. Try again." Jasper threw the car muffler again, and made t another foot, but still missed. Leilene tried again, and missed.
All three of them threw their car mufflers and missed the tiny target until someone bolted onto stage. "I want a turn!"
"We haven't got to you yet, Holly!"
"I don't care!" Holly threw a car muffler and managed to hit the target on her first try, sending Lucas into the icy cold water. "See? I could have done it."
"I wasn't doubting you. While Lucas dries off, let's interview out next guest Holly. How was your experience on TDAT? By the way, here's your shirt."
"Horrible. This creepy guy named Josh kept stalking me. Thanks for the shirt, though."
"Admit it. You still like him, even after what he did to you in Denver. Here's some nice proof!
***Start Tape***
Holly: Yeah, Joshie's so hot. I could kiss him all day. (Holly holds up a picture of Josh and starts to make out with it.)
***Back to Show***
"That did not happen." Holly objected to the tape.
"Well, we've got another one." Jane showed the audience a second tape.
***Start Tape***
Holly: I wish I could marry Josh. Hopefully he doesn't see this.
***Back to Show***
"The cat's out of the bag." Jane smiled as she said that.
"I have no comment." Holly stormed off the stage.
"I think it's time for another commercial.
***Commercial***
Judge: Feel like you're getting sued? Too bad! I hear all sorts of cases from whiny brats to male models! If you're getting sued, I hope you have a good lawyer or you'll be sentenced to death by me, The Honorable Robert Mills.
***Back to Show***
Jane greeted the audience once again. "Welcome back to the TDAT Aftermath show. We have one last guest this week. Please welcome our cocky flirt, Josh!
No response.
"Josh? Joshua Strike? Where is he?"
Still no response.
After a third pause, Jane received a note from an intern. After reading it, she made an announcement. "Well, it looks like Josh is in Seattle." Jane read the note further, "How'd he get on another plane? Anyways, it looks like Josh cannot be with us today." The audience sighed in disappointment, although in disbelief about his plane trick.
"With no Josh, I'll have to end the Aftermath early. Join us next time where Jasper, Leilene, Holly, and the rest of the jury will vote for a winner at our secret finale spot. Viewers at home, try to guess where it is! Stay tuned for another exciting week of challenges and fun right here on Total Drama American Tour!"
AN: Josh is back in the game. Sorry about the length. Like the first Aftermath, I'm not good at filler, but take note of a few things here, as they'll be important later. The TDSCR cast will eventually be posted on my DA page.
