TOTAL DRAMA FIJI: SURVIVING THE DRAMA

Chapter 3: The Tribes, Part 2

Having returned from commercial break, LeShawna, the next egg thrower, was ready.

Like a couple of others before her, she aimed at Chris, only to badly misfire and hit Owen, who didn't mind.

"LeShawna's yolk is..red! Lindsay, your turn" . Emotionless, LeShawna walked to the red mat, unusually quiet.

Lindsay stepped forward, chirpy as usual. "Hey, Chip! So happy to be back on Total Drama Club!"

Heather face-palmed. "Hey, Lindsidiot, it's Total Drama".

Frowning slightly, Lindsay replied, "Oh, thanks, Helga!" before throwing her egg, which was blue, meaning she's on Bridgette's team, among others.

Tyler looked distraught that his girlfriend was not on his team, or tribe, once again. "NOOOOOO!" Justin consoled him, trying to gain an ally.

Noah was next, looking as unenthusiastic as always. He grabbed an egg, throwing it weakly, causing everyone else to roar with laughter.

"I swear I'm not that weak". He turned to Owen; "This is why I don't go out much", he explained.

Chris interrupted the conversation, "Owen, enough chat, you're next!"

Owen raised his hand, so Chris nodded at him. "Can I eat mine?", he asked.

Chris groans and turns to Noah. "Can you throw it for him?"

Although reluctantly, Noah takes the egg from Owen, revealing that like him, Owen is also on the red tribe, the final member in fact.

"Yay, little buddy!" Owen cheered, hugging Noah. He was happy being on the same team as his friend. Noah wheezed and panted while being squashed by Owen.

Sadie squeals with excitement as she steps up. "Eeek, Katie, I hope I'm on your tribe!"

Katie smiles from the yellow mat. "Me too!"

Sadie throws her egg, despite it being a one in three chance, thirty three percent, the yolk's yellow.

"YES!" yells Sadie, running, which she never did, over to the mat to join her BFF.

"Oh, Codykins, I'm next! I hope I'm on your tribe, too!" squealed Sierra.

Cody goes pale and glances at his tribe so far: Duncan, Gwen, Justin, Tyler and the BFFS, as well as himself. That left one spot. He crossed his fingers, praying to every God he knew of that the last spot wouldn't go to Sierra.

Sierra threw the egg at Gwen, who managed to dodge it, revealing, to Cody's dismay, a yellow yolk inside. Much to her delight, she then chased Cody around the small area where they where as the final person, Trent, stepped up.

Trent looked around and saw eight members on the red tribe and eight members for the yellow tribe. He knew which tribe he was on, but threw the egg anyway, revealing a blue yolk, which obviously didn't surprise him.

Chris smiled and stepped forward. "And with that, Trent't yolk is...blue! Now we can get around to naming the tribes, which we did after animals here on Fiji or rather, then Fijian words for those animals. Those of you who got red yolks; Alejandro, Beth, Eva, Ezekiel, Izzy, Leshawna, Noah and Owen, you are now known as Manumanu, aka Bird!"

"Alright! We're birds!" Owen cried in happiness.

"Lucky us" Noah said sarcastically.

"Bird tribe. Hmmpf." Leshawna shrugged.

Alejandro sighed, shaking his head. Noah. On his team. Wonderful.

"I see some big birds," Heather mutters to herself, laughing.

LeShawna decided to ignore Heather, continuing her streak of mostly silence.

Blaineley addressed the eight who got blue yolks. "Bridgette, Courtney, DJ, Geoff, Harold, Heather, Lindsay and Trent, you are now the Laga Tribe, aka Fly!"

"That's cool," Geoff smiled.

"As in a FLY ON THE WALL?!" exclaimed Courtney, outraged.

Trent forced a smile, walking past Gwen and over to DJ. "Hey big guy, been a while, huh?"

Heather frowned at the unfortunate bug her team was named after, but soon she grinned. Flies can be sneaky, getting information from others undetected.

"Yay we're flys!" Lindsay said.

Finally, Chris walks over to the third tribe. "Yellow yolk dudes; Cody, Duncan, Gwen, Justin, Katie, Sadie, Sierra and Tyler, you are now the Ika Tribe, aka Fish!"

"Better than a fly," Duncan shrugged.

"Fish." Gwen repeated to herself, unsure of her opinion on the name.

"Fish?" Justin asked, "How can you call this a fish."

He motioned towards his body.

"That's not extreme!" Tyler said, disappointed.

Chris then added something else to the mix. "Alejandro, Bridgette, Cody; since you joined your respective tribes first, you are the Tribe leaders!"

Alejandro smiled proudly, crossing his arms and puffing out his chest. "A position of respect, no doubt. I expect all of you to honor that."

Bridgette smiled and looked pleased.

"I'm team leader? I don't know... I guess" Cody said feeling a little worried about this decision.

"Yep, we're doomed," Duncan told his tribe. "Unless you can strike that right hook again."

"Ah, phooey," Izzy huffed, "Who needs ya, Al? All in favor of E-scope being team leader, say aye!"

Beth grinned. "Aye!"

Blaineley looked at the three tribes."Head off to your beaches!"She threw each leader a map and appropriate buffs. "Just look for the giant flag with your color and get started setting up shelter, looking for food, water,idols,maybe some drama. Just make sure to check your treemail tomorrow so you know when the challenge is."

With that, the three tribes headed off, ending the episode.

Glad that's over with! Now we can get onto the good stuff! Here's a reminder of the tribes, just in case you need it:

Manumanu (Red): Alejandro (Tribe Leader), Beth, Eva, Ezekiel, Izzy, LeShawna, Noah and Owen

Laga (Blue): Bridgette (Tribe Leader), Courtney, DJ, Geoff, Harold, Heather, Lindsay and Trent

Ika (Yellow): Cody (Tribe Leader), Duncan, Gwen, Justin, Katie, Sadie, Sierra and Tyler

Just one last note: the brilliant Foreseer44, who played Blaineley, made an intro for the season and put in on YouTube. It's easy enough to find.

Until next time!
