Sorry this chapter came out so late, i'll try to get as many chapters out as I can, anyway, enjoy!
From inside of a studio that isn't numbered, all of the previous contestants from seen sitting on bleachers that were on stage. On a large screen on the wall was a collection of scenes from season 1 and 2. On center stage was a large couch with another chair nearby. Sitting on the couch, waving at the audience, we're Mike and Ella!
"Hello there everyone!" Ella greeted cheerfully.
"Chris asked us to host these little 'Aftermath' episodes, and that's what we're here to do!" Mike explained. "But first, let's give a big round of applause to our ex-contestants!" He continued, referring to other 11 campers who all waved back at the audience.
"What Chris had instructed us to do as the hosts of the Aftermath Show is to interview the eliminated campers of season 2 and ask them how they felt about their time on the film lot. We'll also a few special guests! I'm so excited!" Ella cheered.
"And to start the show, here's Corlissa!" Mike announced. Corlissa walked on stage, waving at the crowd and to the others. She sat down in the chair by Mike and Ella.
"So Corlissa, please, do tell us about your time on the show!" Ella said, giving her a welcoming smile.
"Well, it wasn't too bad, but I should have focused more on the game than I did worrying about Damion." Corlissa explained.
"Speaking of Damion, what's up with him?" Derek asked.
"Yeah, is he ok?" Mike added.
"Damion lost someone who was close to him and it's really hurt him emotionally. I don't know the full story, but I don't like seeing him like this..."
"Oh my, I do hope he feels better!" Ella said.
"Um, Corlissa, no offense but we need to get to the next question." Mike noted.
"Oh, sure. Go ahead." Corlissa answered.
"Ok, we'll how did it feel to be voted out first?" Mike asked, trying not to offend Corlissa or get on her bad side.
"Well of course it sucks, now i know how Tristan felt last season!" Corlissa joked.
"Finally someone gets it!" Tristan said cheerfully, not understanding that Corlissa wasn't serious. Caine nudged him in the shoulder, trying to make him keep quiet.
"Thanks for answering our questions Corlissa! You'll have to sit with the others while we introduce our first special guest." Mike explained. He then turned to the audience.
"And now, live via webcam, here's-" Mike began, but a stagehand hurried over to him and whispered something in his ear. "Oh, well im afraid our webcam isn't working right now. But our audio is still working fine! So, live via, microphone I guess, here's Anna Sharp!"
The large screen turned on to show a speaker on it, other than that tthe screen was blank.
"Hello Anna!" Ella greeted cheerfully.
"Hey guys! Its super cool to hear see you, it kind of stinks that you can't really see me though, but it doesnt matter." Anna replied.
"So Anna, what do you think of the show so far?"
"I think its really cool! I can't wait for the next challenge!" Anna answered.
"I'm so very glad you're enjoying it Anna!" Ella chimed "Who would you say are your favorite contestants?"
"I'd have to say Viola and Michiko. Viola in general is just awesome and Michiko is really mysterious and it'd be cool to see how far she goes they go this time!" Anna answered.
"Cool! Not too sure about Michiko though, I'm still unsure about Michiko though, ever since what happened last season." Mike explained, the others nodded in agreement. "Anyway, next question, who is your least favorite?"
"I'm not too fond of Dutch, to be honest. I don't think he's really changed at all since last season."
"Well, your doubts are understandable, but I think he has really learned from his past mistakes!" Ella added.
"Y-yeah, he's not all bad..." Bella squeaked.
"He did help me and the other girls out in the Emerald Maze challenge from last season." Corlissa added.
"Well... I'm just not so sure..." Anna replied.
"Well, here's the last question. Who are you rooting for?" Mike asked.
"I'd have to say Viola, Michiko and Ruby. Viola and Michiko for obvious reasons, but I really think Ruby has a shot at winning, just as long as 'You Know Who' doesn't get in the way."
"Yeah, hopefully Hayden won't get in anybody way this time, but it is Hayden after all..." Corlissa stated.
"Well, I'm afraid that's all the time we have to chat with you Anna. Sorry we couldn't see and that we couldn't chat any longer!" Ella said solemnly.
"Aww, it's ok! I'm just glad I got to say something on the show! Bye guys!" Anna said, bidding farewell to everyone.
"Bye Anna!" Everyone said, some of them waved (their webcam wasn't working, so they couldn't see Anna, but she could still see them).
"Well, it's time to introduce our second eliminated contestant, so without further adieu, here's Sapphire!" Ella announced, Sapphire came onto the stage and sat in the seat Corlissa was in earlier (Corlissa was sitting with the others now).
"Hey Sapphire, how've you been?" Mike asked.
"I've been alright, a little miffed about getting booted second, but it is what it is." Sapphire answered.
"Well, how would you describe your time in the game?" Ella questioned.
"It was alright until Hayden had to take me out. I guess now I know how you guys feel."
"Who do you think will make it to the finale this season?" Mike asked, the crowd began to cheer, they seemed interested in the question, even some of the peanut gallery looked intruiged.
"It's a bit of a stretch to guess the finalists when only 4 people have gone down so far." Sapphire noted. "But if I'd have to guess I'd say... Damion and Ruby, not really sure why though."
"Well that does sound like a unique setup for a finale, but I guess we will have to wait and see." Ella noted.
"That wraps it up for questions, Sapphire, why don't you join the others while we introduce our second guest for the evening." Mike stated, the stagehand from earlier went up to Mike and whispered in his ear again. "Great news guys! Our webcam is up and running again! Now, live via webcam, here's Tyrone Colt!"
The webcam turned on to show a short, African American boy with blond hair, he wore a red hoodie and rainbow shorts, he was of average build.
"What's up guys!" Tyrone greeted.
"Hello Tyrone, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Ella said cheerfully.
"Likewise!" Tyrone said.
"Ok Tyrone, who are you rooting for?" Mike asked.
"Viola, of course, anyone with hair as awesome as hers has to win!" Tyrone replied.
"Really?" Derek questioned.
"All because of her hair? That's a stupid reason!" Tristan added, prompting Caine to nudge him in the ribs again.
"Well is there anyone you don't like in the cast?" Ella asked.
"Hayden, only because he's such a spoiled sport!"
"He can be a bit of a bother." Blake admitted.
"Yeah, hopefully he won't make it as far as he did last season." Tyrone noted.
"Is there a certain movie genre you want to see?" Mike asked.
"A bank heist movie would seem interesting." Tyrone admitted.
"It does sound very fun. But Chris and the network have control over what movie genres will be used." Ella stated. The sound of a buzzer went off, a different stagehand whispered into Ella's ear.
"Oh, the buzzer means that our time with our guest is up. I'm so sorry Tyrone." Ella announced.
"It's cool, don't worry about it. Being here is good enough, later guys!" Tyrone said, bidding farewell to everyone.
"Take care, Tyrone! Well folks, I think it's a good time to bring out our next eliminated contestant. Here's last season's winner, Michael!" Mike announced, the crowd cheered loudly. Michael took about 5 steps on staged before Kristen knocked him down.
"MIKEYYY! I'm so happy to see you! Did you miss me?!" She asked him before giving him a sweet kiss. Charlotte pulled Kristen off of her boyfriend.
"Hehe, come on Kristen, you can have Michael all to yourself once the interview is over." Charlotte chuckled. Kristen pouted a bit and went back to her seat. Michael sat down with Mike and Ella.
"Aww, that was very sweet! Michael you and Kristen are lucky to have each other!" Ella stated.
"Haha, thanks. But I think I'm lucky to have her. Before I met Kristen I was practically insane, it just goes to show how one person can change you." Michael explained, Kristen blushed and the crowd went 'aww' again.
"That's really sweet! Now Michael, how did you feel about being the third booted off?" Mike asked.
"It stinks, but I suppose it is fair that I lose since I did win last season."
"You lost your chance at he money though!" Ben called out.
"True." Michael responded.
"Ok Michael, next question, who do you think deserves to win the most?" Ella asked.
"Probably Viola, Dutch, or Luis. Viola and I are rivals, she's a strong player and has earned her place on the show. Dutch has changed from complete *sshole to a pretty cool guy and after what he's been through last season, I think he deserves a chance to win. As for Luis, he's one of my best friends! He's a smart guy so I know he can find a way to beat Hayden and I noticed he's been playing a bit rougher than he did last season!" Michael explained.
"How do you feel about Hayden weaseling his way out of elimination?" Blake called out.
"Honestly, I feel like Chris is rigging the game to keep Hayden in, just to make more drama happen and 'raise the ratings'." Michael answered. The contestants and the crowd seemed to agree with his answer. The buzzer went off again.
"Well, that's it for questions, thanks for answering them Michael." Ella stated, smiling at the previous winner.
"Not prob." He said, sitting next to his girlfriend in the peanut gallery. Kristen embraced him and laid her head on his shoulder.
"And now. Here's our third guest, and final guest for the show. Meet Ronnie Jay!" Mike announced, the big screen turned on again. This time it showed young teen who looked Jamaican. He had long black dreadlocks that are tied in a black green and red Rasta cap. He was wearing a green shirt and blue jeans. The room he was in was full of white smoke, Ronnie's eyes were noticeably red.
"Hello friend! How are you?!" Ella asked gleefully.
"Ey, *cough* 'ow are ya Total Drama peoples!" Ronnie responded.
"Is he... high? Alyx asked.
"Hey, he keepin' it real tight, you know what I'm sayin'!" Tristan added, clearly impressed.
"So uh... Ronnie, who would you say is your favorite contestant on the show?" Mike asked, a little unsure if he should continue this webchat.
"I tink 'Ayden is pretty cool!" Ronnie answered before coughing a bit again, he seemed to be in a bit of a daze when he said this. The others gasped at his answer.
"Hayden of all people is his favorite!" Charlotte questioned.
"How?!" Derek shouted.
Ronnie's eyes cleared up a bit, he looked a bit more focused now.
"Sorry about dat', I was a bit woozy dere'. I don't really 'ave a favorite, you're all good people!" Ronnie corrected.
"Well, is there anyone you happen to dislike?" Ella asked.
"Well, I don't quite fancy people dat' are uptight like Briar or Ciana, and even Viola to some extent." Ronnie Jay answered.
"Thanks for answering Ronnie Jay, but I think we should leave you in peace, take care!" Mike stated with a nervous smile on her face.
"No problem, one love!" Ronnie replied, shutting off his webcam.
"Hehe, well that was a bit awkward." Mike noted, chuckling a little bit. "Anyway, we still have one more contestant to interview! Here's our last contestant. Introducing last season's runner up: Astrid!"
Astrid happily sat down with the two interns, waving at the ground and to her friends.
"It's nice to see you again Astrid!" Ella said cheerfully.
"It's nice to see you too!"
"So Astrid, how did you feel about your time on set?" Mike asked.
"It wasn't bad, but it wasn't all that good either. I feel like I didn't have enough time to really put out my full potential!"
"That's a shame, I loved your performance last season!" Ella squealed. "You started out small, but you steadily rose to the top and made it to the finale!"
"Hehe, yeah. I just hope that Hayden doesn't get as far as he did before. He's been quiet so far, but that's just how it was last season, and I don't think any of us want a repeat of that! Especially Tamara, she's already suffered enough because of him!" Astrid explained.
"Couldn't the same be said about Dutch?" Mike asked.
"Oh, hehe, yeah. I kind of forgot about him, though Tamara did have the displeasure of having to date that little weasel!" She hissed.
"I'm sorry you had to deal with him, after watching last season I know he did some very terrible things." Ella proclaimed. "But, who do you believe will win this season?"
"I think Viola has a good chance this time, she's really taken control of her team and I kind of admire her for it!"
"That's a very nice thing for you to say Astrid! I also admire my friend's role as a leader!" Ella chimed. The buzzer went off again.
"Well, it looks like that's all the time we have." Mike announced. "Tune in next time for the next episode of Total Drama Action!"
Several hours later, the two interns met up with Chris outside of the Aftermath Studio.
"So how'd we do?" Mike asked.
"In all honesty, you did a decent job. You'll be doing this about every 4 eliminations with one exception. Until then, I talked with the network to make a special sweepstakes for the show." Chris replied.
"What kind of sweepstakes?" Ella asked.
"One lucky Total Drama fan will join both of you in this season's Aftermath show! Just make sure you don't steal the spotlight from them and they don't steal it from you. Anyway, get some rest, and I'll see you in a few days." Chris explained, leaving the two.
"Oh, this is getting to be very exciting!" Ella squealed in excitement.
And that's about it. Sorry this chapter didn't have too much drama or action (see what I did there) in it. But this is the first Aftermath episode of the season. How was it by the way? Who is the special guest that will appear in the next Aftermath? Speaking of the Aftermath episodes, how can I make them better? Let me know!
