Hey, I'm back! Sorry for not updating this in a while, I had problems with lack of inspiration and internet connection, but I'm fine now. So here is the next chapter!
Disclaimer: Don't own anythin' but OCs.
"Okay," Leroy said, "we're live in three, two, one!"
The crowd watching the show in the studio cheered as Geoff and Bridgette took their place in the center couch of the set.
"What's going on, everyone!" Geoff said. "Welcome to the brand new, totally off the hook, Total Drama Action Aftermath Show!"
"We're coming to you live," Bridgette added, "to dish everything Total Drama Action!"
"This is where the real action is!" The audience cheered. "I'm Geoff!"
"And I'm Bridgette!"
"You may remember us from such series such as Total Drama Island and its even more thrilling sequel, Total Drama Action!"
"Which we were voted off of for kissing," Bridgette reminded, "and lost out on a million bucks!"
"I still say making out makes for awesome television."
"Yeah, but not too much!" Leroy commented.
"But hey," Geoff continued, "now we've got our own show, and this is way more fun, right?"
Bridgette chuckled. "Right. Now we get to hang with you, and we're super stoked for the new season!"
"What do you guys think of it so far? The film lot, totally awesome, right?" the audience applauded. "We are so psyched to be here!"
"Yeah, speak for yourselves." Eva quipped. She was sitting on a two-level couch on the right side of the stage, along with the seven others who failed to qualify for the season.
"I was speaking for myself," Geoff answered, "but, glad you reminded us you're here. Eva, everyone!"
Eva awkwardly smiled and waved at the crowd.
"We've brought along all our peeps from first season," Geoff announced.
"They may be losers, but not in our book, right Geoff?"
"That is so sweet, you guys!" Sadie cooed.
"Alright," Geoff introduced, "we've got Cody!"
'The Geek' shot a finger pistol at the camera.
"And Noah!"
'The Schemer' just smiled.
"Ezekiel."
"Go homeschool!" 'The Homeschooled Guy' was picking his nose.
"Let's give it up for Eva!"
'The Female Bully' just gave another look.
"Katie and Sadie!"
'The Sweet Girl' and 'The Sweet Girl's Friend' held hands.
"We are so super excited to be here!" Sadie said.
"And a shout-out to Courtney!"
"We are gonna sue the pants off this show, Michael!" 'The Type A' whispered into a cellphone.
"Uh, whoops, okay."
"And Tyler!"
'The Jock' winked at the camera and waved.
"There you are dude," Geoff quipped, "would somebody please tell Lindsay?"
Laughter followed this comment.
"We've also got a ton of texts and e-mails from all of you!" Bridgette added.
"Plus, we'll have a couple of you on webcam." Geoff announced. "Which is super, super cool."
"Izzy-I mean Kaleidoscope will be here!"
"And of course, Trent!"
The audience clapped loudly, accompanied by wolf-whistles.
"Aw, poor Trent, right? What happened to him is just so wrong."
"We felt so terrible for Trent," Sadie quipped, "like he went nuttier than my sister's peanut allergy. Hi Cindy!"
"But he's still super cute!" Katie said, "I barf in my mouth a little everytime I think of what happened to him."
"Oh my gosh, me too! *hurk!*"
"Uh, okay, cool." Geoff said awkwardly. "Thanks for that. It's almost time to welcome our first guest. But first, take a look."
Leroy pressed a button on a remote and the screen above the hosts immediately turned on, showing various footage of Izzy during her time on the set.
"Izzy's time on Total Drama Action may have been short," Bridgette narrated.
"But it was a real wild ride." Geoff finished.
"The girl got a monster crush," she drew a heart around Izzy when the animatronic monster put her down.
"And later, suffered a serious blow at the hands of Chef Hatchet!"
Chef thinks he's killed her," Bridgette drew a circle around Chef's scared face during the alien movie challenge, "Look how freaked he is!"
"Serves the dude right," Geoff commented, "Oh, watch, I love this part!" in the footage, Izzy sprang up after being seemingly dead. "Check her out! Hilarious, man! Ultimately, it was Duncan who killed Izzy's chances when the two took to the stage."
"Ooh, the drama. But ever the diva, Izzy will be back for more. Our first guest has impersonated a grizzly and was caught peeing in a pool. Currently no. 8 on the RCMP's most wanted, Izzy, AKA Kaleidoscope!"
Leroy looked at the screen. It showed the green room, where Izzy was watching herself on a screen while eating crackers.
"Ooh, I'm on TV!" she exclaimed.
"That's because you're on." Leroy said as he entered the room.
Izzy suddenly spit out something. "Oops, cracker crumbs, you get back here!" she grabbed all of the crumbs, and grabbed a few olives and more crackers, then dropped them down her tank top before coming on stage.
"E-Scope!" Beth hosts greeted.
"Hi, Bridgette, Hi, Geoff." She said, "It's so glad to be here."
"Awesome to have you," Geoff said. "but bummer about the show. Gotta be tough losing out on a million big ones."
"Yeah, well you would know."
Bridgette narrowed her eyes.
"Hi, you guys!"
"Hi, Izzy!" Katie and Sadie said.
"Hi, everyone out there in TV land!" she waved. "Graham Cracker! That's my old boyfriend, Graham!" she pointed at the audience. "He got a restraining order against me last year. Remember that. Graham? So funny. Okay, we were in the court room, and the judge was all like, 'You cannot come within 200 meters of the plaintiff or you shall suffer the consequences of this courtroom!' The long distance was hard, but we made it work. By the way, Graham, you should get new blind for your room. What are they made of, lead? I couldn't see a thing with my binoculars! Miss you, Graham Cracker! I am totally into crackers right now. They're just so flaky!"
"No wonder about that restraining order." Leroy muttered under his breath.
"Kind of like someone we know." Bridgette said.
Geoff cleared his throat. "So Izzy, how did it feel to be the first one voted off the show?"
"I don't know Geoff, how did it feel?"
"We were the first one voted off the show." Bridgette whispered.
"Was it disappointing? Humiliating? A sober experience, Geoff?"
"Sure it was disappointing, I mean, it's like you got dreams for this money and-hey man, I'm supposed to be asking the questions!"
Several chuckles followed, Leroy's was heard in particular.
"My life is an open book." Izzy continued, "Well, not yet, it will be once I write it, and you open the book."
"What went through your head after being voted off?" Bridgette asked.
"When you realize you're not getting a Gilded Chris Award, well, I can't lie to you."
"Wow, it's that painful to remember?"
"No, I just can't lie to you. I was outfitted with a lie-deterrent microchip that emits shockwaves at the first hint of dishonesty. That's a really nice top, Bridge-*zap* Ow!"
"Okay…so what exactly did losing out on the Gilded Chris mean to you?"
"It meant I missed out on that buttery chocolate statuette. Oh, I once took an art class sculpting chocolate moods; my instructor said I had a flair for cocoa. *zap* Ow! Okay, okay, he said I was totally loco! That's what he actually said."
"I think it's time we play a fun little game called," Geoff announced, "Truth Or Hammer!"
Leroy ran onstage, pushing a large golden statue of Lady Justice before pulling out a ridiculously large wooden mallet and smashing it into pieces.
"Haha, works like this," Geoff explained, "we ask you a question, and if you give the wrong answer, a huge hammer will swing down and knock you clear out of your chair!"
"If my implant doesn't get me, the hammer will!"
"Should we give it a test run?" Geoff asked.
"You see," Leroy quipped, "the hammer has the same lie-detecting technology that Izzy's microchip has. By the way, I was the one who put that there."
A large hammer suddenly swung down. Leroy and Izzy managed to dodge it.
"It works!" Leroy said.
"Missed me!" Izzy exclaimed.
"Nice one, E-Scope! Bridge, a question, please?"
"Uh yeah, okay. Season two started off so well for you. Where'd things go wrong?"
"I think it's when I turned down that secret alliance with Chef."
Gasps and whispers among the audience.
"You mean, Chef actually tried to form a secret alliance with you?"
"Uh-huh. He said he'd help me win this thing if I shared the money with him."
"Huh…wait, I think we've got a never-before-seen clip! Awesome!"
Leroy pressed a button on a remote and the screen cut to static before playing the clip.
"I'll help you man up and win this thing," Chef told Izzy, "we split the prize money, 50-50." He held out his hand.
"Hi-ya!" Izzy kicked Chef in the chest, which knocked him away. ""Oh, I don't think so!"
"Woah,"
"I can't believe Chef did that!"
"Awesome impact!" Geoff drew a red circle where Izzy kicked Chef. "Ooh, check it!"
"Oh, look at that poor guy!" Bridgette pointed to a wide-eyed Leroy in the background.
"Dude thinks he's next!"
"Hey! I'm standing right here, you know!" Leroy retorted.
"I would never try to hurt Leroy." Izzy said as the hammer suddenly swung down. She barely managed to dodge it. "Nearly got me that time!"
A glaring Leroy gave an 'I'm watching you' gesture to her.
"So, then what happened?" Geoff asked.
"My guess is Chef made a deal with DJ. Yeah, I think Chef threw the acting challenge with Duncan so DJ's team won and I lost but hey, what do I know?"
"A lot, apparently."
"Let's hear from a viewer now." Bridgette said, "GluePunx350 asks, 'Do you think DJ will get busted?'"
"Well, I don't know about DJ," Izzy replied, "but I busted my arm once. Yeah, look, now I'm double-jointed! I'm doing it, backwards!" she bent her arm in the opposite direction. Geoff and Leroy gave her weird looks.
"Should we move on to Trent?" the former asked.
"Yeah, onto Trent!" Izzy cheered.
"Trent is such a stand-up guy," Bridgette said, "he did not deserve what happened, right?"
"Oh, totally not!" Sadie commented.
"And all because of Gwen." Bridgette continued.
"Woah, back up, Bridge. Couple's break up. Wasn't Gwen's fault."
"Trent lost out on a million bucks because of Gwen."
"So? Gwen went behind Trent's back and told his team to vote him off. That doesn't mean-"
The audience suddenly gasped.
"Woah, what?"
Leroy looked at the screen which was now showing Trent in the green room.
"Aw man, what?" Trent yelled. "Are you kidding? Gwen did what?! This is a joke, right?"
"My word…" Leroy mumbled.
"Um," Geoff stammered, "Did someone not tell the dude? Sorry man."
"Poor Trent." Bridgette commented.
"How was I supposed to know?" Geoff snickered before clearing his throat. "That was harsh. Tough break. Gwen may have asked Trent's team to vote him off, but dude was purposely losing all their challenges. They would've done it anyway."
Cheers from the audience.
"Maybe. But Gwen stabbed Trent in the back, she dumped him and told his team to vote him off the show to cover her own butt. That's low."
"Gwen should pay; so should Trent." Eva commented.
"Trent isn't innocent in this," Geoff said, "what about the time he kissed Heather? Gwen was totally wrecked, remember?"
Sadie gasped. "I remember. Trent totally cheated on Gwen per season."
"That was Heather's fault. She tricked Trent into kissing her!"
"But the dude hardly needs to be tricked into kissing the hottest chick on the show."
A loud gasp emitted from everyone else.
"What?"
"I cannot believe you just said Heather was the hottest girl on the show!"
"I mean uh-he shouldn't have kissed her! Ugh, I wouldn't have."
Everyone waited for the hammer to swing down…but it never happened.
"It's the truth! You're super hot too, Bridge. You're sweet and caring, y'know. Heather's just got...an edge."
"It's called being mean!" she pushed Geoff to the floor, "Or have you forgotten how awful to me she was first season?!"
Leroy's eyes grew wider when he heard the crowd's excited chants within all the commotion.
"She was like that with everyone." Geoff argued.
"Oh, and yet you still think she was the hottest chick on the show! Maybe you should be dating her!"
"Well, maybe you should be with Trent! You sure are defending the dude enough!"
Izzy suddenly came up between the quarreling couple. "Uh, can I show you guys something that I can do with my eyelids?"
"I think it's time we take a break." Bridgette said.
"Oh, now you wanna break up?!" Geoff yelled. "Well, that's just great, Bridge."
"I think she means a break for ads." Izzy corrected. "We'll be right back!"
Leroy pressed a button on his remote. The screen switched to an ad featuring a dish with flies buzzing around it in front of Chef, who was holding a jug-shaped hunk of meat with a skunk's tail sticking out of it.
"This episode of the TDA Aftershow was brought to you by Chef's Roadkill Café, where Sundays are Bring Your Own Meat. You hit it, we spit it."
Five minutes later…
"We're back!" Izzy announced. She was now sitting on the main couch, with Bridgette and Geoff sitting on either side, backs turned to each other. "We're talking Gwen and Trent with Geoff and Bridgette! Got a little sidetracked, but we're good now, right guys?"
"Ugh, fine, right, whatever."
"Ugh, fine."
"Okay. Seems our lovebirds can't agree on anything. Bridgette's on…"
"Team Trent."
"And Geoff is on…"
"Team Gwen. Woo. Hoo."
"We need help settling this little lovers' quarrel, so thanks for all your texts and e-mails. Oh, and uh, feel free next time to use ESP. I'm psychotic."
"Uh, I think you mean psychic." Bridgette corrected.
"I'm pretty sure my therapist said psychotic." Bridgette's eyes widened. "Should we check on Trent first?"
The screen lowered again with a press on Leroy's remote. It showed the green room, where Trent was now in tears.
"Uh, how about a video, okay?"
"A look at Gwen and Trent's relationship. Check it out."
Leroy began playing the clips, which began with the first day on Camp Wawanakwa.
"Ah, young love." Geoff began. "I remember what that was like."
"Trent only had eyes for Gwen when he sang her a song in the talent show. What a sweetheart." Bridgette stated. Courtney, Katie, and Sadie swooned in agreement.
"Yeah, he was a real sweetheart, when Gwen was buried alive and Trent forgot to dig her up." As Geoff said this, a clip from 'Phobia Factor' played, with Trent hurriedly digging Gwen up and the latter throwing a walkie-talkie at him. Cheers erupted from the audience.
"The beach incident was totally forgotten," Bridgette continued, "until Heather came up with a plan to kiss Trent in front of Gwen. Gwen was devastated."
"So was Trent. Plus, Trent made it up to Gwen by supporting her in the final challenge."
"He ran alongside her carrying a rock."
"It was sweet, and it won Gwen over."
"Once on the film lot, Gwen and Trent's hookup didn't last long."
"Forced onto opposite teams, the stress of competition finally got to them."
"You mean it finally got to Trent."
"Uh so he got a little lovestruck. Gwen dumped him and told his team to vote him off!"
"He was SABOTAGING HIS TEAM'S CHALLENGES!" Geoff yelled. "The Grips would've voted him off anyway! Dude did not deserve to win the million bucks!"
Izzy had to restrain Bridgette from attacking him. "Okay, time to settle this. Either we talk, or we thumb wrestle."
"Fine. Talk."
"Okay, we know how you two feel, let's hear from everyone else."
Sadie raised her hand. "At first, I was totally on team Trent. I mean, poor guy. But seeing that video reminded me of how devastated Gwen was when Trent kissed Heather."
"You mean when Heather kissed Trent." Katie corrected.
"Same thing!"
"Uh, no it is not. That's like saying you got our faint blue swimsuit in the second grade before I did when I got it first!"
"You did not!"
"Did too!"
"I'm definitely team Gwen," Cody said to Noah, "she's hot, and I have her bra."
"I'm on team Gwen," Courtney said, "not because I like her, but because Trent is a loser. By choice!"
"Maybe it's time we bring out Trent." Izzy suggested.
Leroy nodded and lowered the screen. This time, in the green room, Trent was crying while playing his guitar.
"You went behind my back," he sang, "In the worst kind of an attack, oh. Now you find me gone, I'm no longer your pawn."
The audience applauded at this.
"Our next guest was unceremoniously dumped by his girlfriend and cheated out of a million bucks. Please welcome Trent!"
Leroy opened the door to the green room as Trent rushed out and took his seat on the left couch, beside Izzy.
"We're live on the TDA Aftermath with Trent, everyone!" Bridgette announced.
"Good to have you on the show, dude." Geoff greeted. "Brutal about before."
"Geoff is really sorry about what happened earlier." Bridgette said in a forceful tone.
"It's cool. Wasn't his fault." Trent replied.
"So, what happened, Trent?"
"Uh, I'm not really sure." He replied. "Things were going great until Gwen and I were split on different teams. Then she and Duncan started hanging out."
"Ugh! Duncan is so gonna get it!" Courtney whispered angrily.
"And then the competition set in." Trent finished.
"…And something else." Bridgette added.
"What do you mean, how crazy things got?"
"How crazy you got. Careful how you answer this, 'cuz a great big hammer could come down and knock you right outta your pants!"
"Huh? Uh, I guess somewhere I decided Gwen was more important than the money."
Geoff moved back in anticipation, but the hammer didn't come down.
"Aw come on, where's that hammer? It was a million bucks, dude."
Bridgette slapped him. "We gave up the million bucks!"
"I-I don't know, I guess I just lost my game," Trent said. "I really let my team down. Sorry Grips."
A chorus of "Awws" emitted from the audience.
"I gotta ask about the whole number nine thing, dude. Check it out."
Leroy began to play the footage from 'Beach Blanket Bogus'.
"Nine moats, nine flags, haha, nine wicked jam rooms…"
"Four letters in your name, five letters in Trent's, put 'em together and you get-"
"Nine! He can't be doing everything nine times just for me!"
"Augh dudes," Trent said, "This is so not where my lucky number nine comes from!"
"It isn't?!"
"Augh Duncan, that idiot!" Dude sure knows how to play the game. The number nine thing has nothing to do with Gwen. I had this toy train my granddad gave me as a kid. Right before he died, one of the wheels fell off, so there were only nine. I was devastated. So my mom told me nine was now my lucky number."
"Awws" came from the audience again. Even the eight on the couch on the right were moved by the story.
Katie wiped a tear. "Oh I am so on team Trent."
"Me too." Sadie added, and the two BFFLS hugged each other.
"Uh, can I switch teams?" Courtney asked.
"I knew Duncan was up to something!" Trent said.
The screen switched to a picture of a mortified Gwen.
Bridgette chuckled. "See how mortified Gwen is? Well, this is what she's going to look like when she learns the truth." She drew a large pair of cartoonish eyes with large pupils over her real ones.
The audience laughed at this.
"We've got a lot of e-mails here." Bridgette continued. "Snowgirl writes: Trent, what kind of girl are you into?"
"It was a girl like Gwen." Trent replied, "Guess I'm gonna have to find a new type."
Katie and Sadie immediately volunteered.
"Sorry girls," Geoff said, "but it's time to check in on our webcams. We've got Ginger from Sudbury. What up, Ginger?"
A girl who somewhat resembled Beth appeared onscreen. Her hair was orange and was tied in pigtails.
"Trent! I'd love it if you went psycho crazy over me!" she yelled.
"There you go. Another admirer." Geoff said.
"Uh, yeah."
"Thanks Ginger." Bridgette continued. "We've also got Steve the…Yeti? From Vancouver!"
The screen cut to what looked like Sasquatchanakwa.
"How's it going, dude?" Geoff asked.
"Chris Mclean," 'Steve' said in a gruff voice before slowly shifting to a more familiar tone, "is the best host ever! How'd you get your own show? You stink!"
"Yo Chris," another familiar voice yelled, "if I wanted to take the hot tub by myself I-ooh, you on the webcam?"
"Chris?" Both hosts asked in unison.
'Steve' smiled nervously until Chef suddenly appeared on the screen. "Don't believe a word Izzy says." he advised, "The girl's crazy."
Trent looked at Izzy, who smiled and shrugged.
The cellphone on the table suddenly ringed.
Geoff picked it up. "Oh, and we've got a call. Hello?"
"Gwen and Trent stink!" a high-pitched voice yelled on the other side, "Go team Eva!"
"You're on team Eva? Why?"
"Eva should have won the hundred grand!" the voice suddenly shifted to a familiar one. "And I'll pound anyone who even-"
"Eva!"
A shocked Eva put down her phone and glared.
"Oh, speaking of getting pounded, it's time for: That's Gonna Leave A Mark!"
Leroy started to play a tune to introduce the segment.
"Ah, the humiliation never ends." Bridgette remarked.
"Dudes," Geoff announced, "here's what you didn't get to see on the show!"
Leroy snickered as he eagerly pressed a button on his remote. The screen began playing never-before-seen clips from the show.
A campy tune began to play as the screen showed a clip from 'Riot On Set', where Duncan and Izzy were walking backstage. Suddenly, a spotlight fell and hit Duncan square on the head. Laughter could be heard; Leroy's most distinctively.
"Looks like it's 'lights out' for Duncan!" Bridgette remarked.
"I'll say." Geoff continued as a circle was drawn around the impact. The screen switched to another clip of 'Monster Cash', where DJ was running away from the animatronic monster as Duncan watched in horror. "And here, he's about to take it again!" he gave Duncan a clownish makeover, complete with wig, red nose, and ridiculously large shoes. "Trent, I know you wanna lay the guy out for what he said to Gwen, but I think the monster's about to beat you to the punch!" the monster stomped on Duncan. Geoff giggled as he drew some limbs sticking out.
The next clip was from 'Beach Blanket Bogus', where Lindsay was busy making her team's sandcastle. Suddenly, she retracted her finger because a crab had pinched it.
"Ouch!"
The next clip was from '3:10 To Crazytown', where Beth was twirling her lasso. However, she got her legs caught in it, and as a result, tripped and fell to the ground.
"I don't even know what to draw for that one!" Geoff laughed.
The last clip was from 'Alien Ressur-eggtion', where Chef dressed as Mama Alien walked across the hall. However, he slipped on a puddle of slime and landed head-first on the ground.
"Now that's gonna leave a mark!" Geoff finished as the audience applauded. "Oh man, that was brutal!"
"Do you guys think I can sing a song?" Trent asked. "It's something I wrote after Gwen and I broke up."
"Aw, for sure, Trent."
Trent began to play his guitar and sing.
You ripped my heart out of my soul,
You never text me back anymore.
Now, I remember the nights we stared into the sky,
But now, you make me feel like dirt.
And though I never told you that summer, girl,
You were my entire world.
But now you're gone.
As Trent finished, the crowd cheered and whistled wildly. Even Leroy nodded in approval.
"Bridge, I'm sorry about all that stuff with Heather." Geoff said to her. "I think you're the hottest girl on the planet."
"Aw, right back atcha. I mean, you're hot too."
"You guys are lucky you got such a healthy, well-balanced-"
Trent was cut off by the sound of Bridgette and Geoff making out once again.
"-relationship."
"Can we get that hammer out here?" Izzy asked. "I guess that's a wrap! Geoff and Bridgette will see you next time!"
"If they don't get fired." Trent added.
"We got a huge season coming up!" Geoff moaned.
"Which means we'll be coming to you live for the next aftermath." Bridgette said.
"Don't forget to join Chris next time for the most dramatically thrilling episode of Total…Drama...-"
"-Action!" Izzy finished.
Later…
Leroy was sweeping the floor after everyone left (sans Bridgette and Geoff, who were still making out).
"E-hem." Leroy rolled his eyes. The kissing couple looked at him for a moment before raising their legs.
"Yeesh." Leroy muttered as he swept. After a while, he began to think about the earlier issue to Trent getting voted off until he came to a realization.
"Wait a minute," he thought, "Gwen wouldn't have told the Grips to vote him off if Justin didn't blackmail her!"
Yeah, I'll do as hard as I can to finish the next one soon, so see you next time!
Please Review!
