Chris looked at all of the loser-uh-campers in front of him, a grin that all the teens knew only meant trouble crossed his face. This season was going to be awesome!
"Alright campers! I trust you all enjoyed your refreshing dip in the water!"
Everybody groaned and glared at Chris.
"You're a sick man, Chris."
Gwen glared at Chris along with Leshawna.
"Man, where do you get off on making us miserable?"
Chris simply chuckled at the two girls' reaction, before continuing.
"Anywho, I hope that all of you are prepared for the most epic season yet! It's going to be so much fun-for me that is."
Once again groans filled the air. Hermione, from where she was standing with Quin and Lo(the latter having thrown her arms around their necks to ensure closeness and bonding time) rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath so that only those in close proximity to her would be able to hear.
"Yea, we're going to have a blast."
Lo, having heard what she said and mistaking the sarcasm dripping from the other new girl's voice as genuine enthusiasm, threw both of her arms up in the air as she let out a cheer.
"OH YEA! THIS IS GOING TO BE OFF THE HOOK!"
A couple of people groaned at her excitement. Heather rolled her eyes at the dare-devil's exclamation.
"Oh great, another crazy person! As if this island didn't have enough of those already!"
Her comment got glares from the others, except Lo who just shrugged and continued smiling.
***********outhouse cam********
Heather is sitting there with her arms crossed, a frown on her face.
"Oh please, as if everybody doesn't already know that the people are all whack jobs! Myself excluded of course."
Leshawna is glaring at the camera.
"That-"
Gwen…
"-Heather-"
Courtney…
"-is really-"
Jo(punching her hand with her fist)…
"-starting to-"
Eva is shaking her fist angrily.
"-bug me!"
******************normal cam************
Hermione also sent a glare Heather, muttering she protectively put one hand on Lo's shoulder…
"Funny, I was just about to say that about the amount of Heathers…"
Unfortunately, that one wasn't as quiet as her previous comment and earned her a glare from the queen of mean herself, who simply decided not to grace that remark with a comeback and looked the other way, as well as snickers from the other campers. Leshawna and Gwen walked over to were she was standing and gave her a high-five each and Lo practically pushed her over as she went to hug her.
"Ooh, new girl's got it going on! Nice going sugar."
"I couldn't have put it better myself"
"Thanks Hermy! You're an awesome pal"
A blush covered the girl's face at all the attention that she was suddenly receiving. Giving them an awkward smile, she tried to keep her cool.
"Oh, well, it was nothing…"
*************outhouse cam************
Hermione was sitting in the confessional, twiddling her fingers nervously.
"I wasn't actually intending to tick Heather off, it just slipped out by accident and only Lo was supposed to hear me."
She took a deep breath and crossed her arms.
"I don't regret it, though! Lo might seem a little…odd, but she has been nothing but nice to me since we met and Heather has no right to insult her like that!"
Lo is casually sitting back smiling at the camera.
"To tell you dude the truth, I didn't even know Heather said anything bad about me until the other dudes started glaring. I'm not even insulted, she's mean to everyone regardless of how awesome they are or not, so I'm just like 'Whatever man' ya'll get me? 'Sides, I only came here for all the totally epic challenges like they have on tv, drama be overrated!"
*******************normal cam************
A loud and obnoxious honking noise fills the air, successfully shutting up all campers and turning their attention back to an annoyed looking Chris.
"Now that I have your attention…"
He throws the airhorn that he was using over his shoulder which was caught by an intern.
"Lets proceed to get all of you sorted into your teams. Before we do so however, it has come to my attention that some of you might have an unfair advantage over the others due to having spent numerous seasons together unlike the newbies. So, to make things even harder on all of you and prevent any newby alliances from being formed, I have decided to make each of the new competitors the official captain of their own team!"
Gasps were heard from old and new competitors alike. The three new guys exchanged glances, so much for being able to stick together…
*****************outhouse cam**************
Jo growls angrily at the confessional's camera.
"Chris can't be serious! There's no way any of those losers are qualified to lead a team to victory!"
Dawn sits in the confessional in a meditative position with her legs crossed.
"I have sensed some conflict in each one of the new competitors' auras, but that is balanced out by much positive energy. I sense that each of them has the potential to be a great captain in their own ways."
Lightning is frowning at the camera before pointing at himself.
"Sha-Lightning doesn't need no captain. Sha-Lightning is his own captain!"
Brick stares into the confessional's camera.
"I'm not sure about what kind of soldiers the new recruits will end up being…"
He stands up and gives a salute.
" but I will follow orders and make sure to give my captain respect, unless they're like Jo..."
Scott sits back relaxed as he wittles a piece of wood.
"Meh, I'm not really that worried about the new guys, from what I've seen they don't really pose a threat. Besides, if they prove to be a problem later on, I'll just get rid of 'em."
Amy scowls at the camera and crosses her arms.
"Now we have to take orders from those losers?! Can this place get any worse?"
Sammy fiddled with her hands as she sat in the confessionals, a smile as well as a small blush on her face.
"Well, I guess this won't be too bad…Quin seems nice. I think he'll be a good captain."
B looks at the confessional, scratches his head in thought for a moment before signing a thumbs up.
Jasmine smiles as she looks into the camera.
"They seem like nice enough blokes, I'm not too sure about that Quin, though. I'll keep an eye out."
Beardo makes a confused-sounding sound effect as if to say 'who knows' while shrugging.
Owen smiles happily at the camera.
"I haven't talked to them yet, but so far they seem really nice. I bet they're going to be awesome captains!"
As he said 'awesome' Owen threw his hands up into the air for emphasis, a 'toot' escaping him as he did so.
"Hehehehe oops."
Eva glares angrily and shakes her fist at the camera.
"This stinks! And I am not just talking about this freaking outhouse!"
Noah scoffs at the camera and folds his arms, an unimpressed look on his face.
"Great, clumsy is going to be a team captain, that is just perfect…I feel sorry for the poor suckers that gets saddled with her."
Hermione had her head thrown back and was currently in the process of groaning into her hands.
"Seriously?! How'd he even find out?! I can't be a leader! There are more qualified people for it! Why me?!"
Quin sat back with his arms crossed, glaring at the camera.
"Chris sucks."
Lo threw her hands up into the air and let out a cheer of excitement!
"Oh yeah! Team captain baby! I've always wanted to be the captain of something, but I always got outvoted…except for that one time I created my own club, but that doesn't count cause I was like the only member. Who knew that normal people don't like freefalling out of a plane in wingsuits?"
Excitement dying down for a second, she gave a sigh.
"Man, its just a total bummer about Q-dog and Hermy…It would've been an epic alliance…"
***************normal cam************
Clearing his throat, Chris pulled out a ratty old bag and gestured the three newbies to step forward.
"Alright, team captains, its time to pick your teams. When it's your turn pull out a name, the person whose name you pulled will be on your team. Questions?"
A couple of people raised their hands.
"None, alright then! First up is Hermione!"
Hermione stepped forward and stuck her hand in the bag only to quickly jerk away as a small electrical current ran through her fingers.
"Ouch!"
Chris grinned as Hermione rubbed her fingers.
"Did I forget to mention that you'll get zapped every time you stick your hand in?"
Everybody glared at him.
"Oops."
Bracing herself, Hermione once again stuck her hand inside the bag. Trying to ignore the painful prickling of electricity, she pulled out a name, and handed the paper to Chris's outstretched hand.
"Noah!"
**************outhouse cam**************
Noah scoffs at the camera.
"Greeaaat"
Hermione let out a groan.
"Perfect…just perfect…"
****************normal cam************
Noah walked to where Chris gestured the first team should stand, both him and Hermione avoiding making eye-contact with each other.
Next up was Lo…
"Brick!"
Brick marched forward to the designated area. As he passed by Lo he halted and gave her a salute.
"Sir! It's a pleasure to serve with you, sir!"
Lo smiled happily at Brick and held up her hand for a high-five.
"Aw yeah, dude! We'll make an epic team!"
Brick returned the high-five before continuing to walk/march.
It was then Quin's turn…
"B!"
B walked towards the designated area, as he passed Quin he gave him a smile and a two-fingered salute.
"…"
Quin answered the gesture with a nod.
"Hi."
Chris rolled his eyes at their interaction.
"Yeah, I can see that we won't have to worry about shutting this team up…Next!"
And so, the process continued until, finally, all contestants had been sorted into three respective groups.
Group one consisted out of Lightning, Jo, Brick, Courtney, Izzy, Scott, Sadie, DJ, Lo, Beth, Dawn and Amy.
Group two had B, Anne Maria, Leshawna, Gwen, Quin, Heather, Zoey, Mike, Cameron, Lindsey, Cody and Leonard.
And finally there was group three(or the 'Losers' as Chris would call them) who existed out of Dave, Eva, Harold, Alejandro, Sierra, Jasmine, Hermione, Noah, Owen, Beardo, Ella and Samey.
Oh yes, this season was going to be fun…
"Alright,"
Chris cleared his throat looking at the three groups gathered before him.
"now that you're all sorted, it's time for you all to pick team names! Choose wisely, cause you'll be stuck with them for the rest of the season!"
Immediately the three teams huddled together to discuss potential names. Hermione's team was done first.
"Team Perseverance!"
The other teams seemed to take a little longer though, and in their indecisiveness it really was no surprise that someone thought it would be a good idea to pull a Sierra…
"Team Sorcery! Because thanks to my immense prowess in the art of wizardry, I have no doubt that I will be able to lead my team to victory with magic."
Leonard stated proudly, much to the annoyance of his teammates as they gave him irritated stares. On the other team, however, Lightning was inspired.
"Wait! Say sha-what now? You don't have to pick it as a sha-team? In that case, team Sha-Lightning! Cause, Lightning will obviously be carrying his sha-team to sha-victory!"
His team's reaction was almost more annoyed than Sorcery's as members from both teams started to loudly voice their displeasure at the situation.
Chris merely smugly smirked at the teams' displeasure.
"Alright, so the team names are as follows, 'Perseverance', 'Sorcery' and 'Sha-Lightning'!"
Several members from the latter two teams protested at that, only to be promptly shushed by a slightly annoyed host.
"Like I said before, all names are final!"
"But-"
"Fi-nal!"
The teens could only groan in agitation and glare at the two knuckleheads responsible.
Zoey went up to the boy in the wizard suit.
"Leonard, picking the names was supposed to be a team effort."
The robed boy didn't seem too fazed as he addressed the red-head.
"Ah but as the leader of our merry band of heroes, surely I speaketh for all with my wisely made decision."
Heather scowled at the delusional nerd as she stalked up to him.
"You are not our leader you moron!"
Leonard leaned away from Heather's accusing finger-pokes slightly, a slightly confused expression on his face.
"But, who could possibly be a greater choice than a mighty wizard such as myself?
Pointing angrily in the direction of the broody new guy, her glare at the 'wizard' intensified.
"That new guy is supposedly our leader and even though I doubt that he is even remotely qualified for the position, which should be mine, he is still a thousand times better than a loser like you!"
Meanwhile, team Sha-Lightning were experiencing similar issues.
"YOU! I should pound your face in!"
Lightning just rolled his eyes at Jo's threats.
"Sha-please, like any of you could have come up with something better."
It took the combined efforts of Brick an DJ to keep Jo from ripping Sha-Lightning into teeny tiny Sha-pieces.
And chapter three is out! Please tell me what ya'll thought by reviewing, remember I welcome constructive criticism and on an important note that I should probably add so as to avoid a lawsuit, I do not own TD!
