Episode 1: #SquadGoals
Here's the first chapter guys! Hope you enjoy it!
*NOTE: In the cast list, I mentioned a girl named 'Beija,' but that was a mistake. Her name is actually 'Falcao.'
...
Manny was sitting on the calm beach of Panganib Island, thing the crystal blue water washing in and out of the shore. These were the good times - a calm, relaxing time before the mayhem would begin for the next few weeks of bratty teenagers fighting for one million dollars. He enjoyed seeing the kids suffer the challenges, but often times, he wished that he wasn't always being forced to host the show...
"Manny!" someone yelled loudly, making Manny jump from his reflected thoughts.
"Wha...wha...Courtney! What the hell? I was literally resting before we filmed!" Manny groaned, noticing the camera and the boat filled with contestants more than ready to get onto the island, "Uh..." he looks to his girlfriend, Courtney, who would be the co-host for this season.
Courtney stares at the camera, placing her right hand on her red, silky dress. She was a model - curvy, beautiful, and ready to rumble, "Well, since my boyfriend isn't going to do the announcing, then I guess will! Welcome everybody to a brand new season of Total Drama! We're here live from Panganib Island, a lavish, beautiful island in the Philippines!"
Manny jumps into the camera, "Now, let's meet the contestants shall we?" He glares at Courtney, "First up, let's meet Silver, Logan, and Christopher!"
A girl with snow, white hair under a white beanie wearing black leggings and a black sweater that showed her midriff appeared. She waves at the camera and stands on the beach next to Courtney. You can even see a small tattoo of a wolf howling on the back of her neck.
"Hey Silver!" Courtney smiles to Silver, "How are you?"
Silver nods and looks away, with Courtney bobbing her head in awkward agreement.
Logan came up out of the boat, speaking to a camera, "Hey guys! I'm on the island now!" He points it to Manny, "Yo! Manny and your girl! Happy to be here! I'm just flogging so, don't mind me!" Logan chuckles. He wore a brown t-shirt with a neon green skull on it that faced the left and had black jeans with a hoodie.
Manny smiled, "Hey Logan, you're a Youtuber?"
"Yep! It's a definite passion of mine!" Logan smiles, walking around the beach to scan the area.
Christopher arrived, placing his suitcases on the beach, giving a salute to the hosts. He was wearing a white collared shirt with heavily patched blue jeans and a SWAT ballistic vest, "Glad to be at your service Manny! Excited for this season!"
"Thanks dude!" Manny fist bumps Christopher's, "Okay then, let's meet Sally, Drew, Julie, and Naru!"
Julie came off the boat first, wearing a denim jacket with a pink shirt with a black cat on it. Her hair was half-black and half-pink. She was taking a few photos as she was meeting the hosts, "Hey Manny! Hey Courtney! I didn't know you were gonna host this season!"
"Yep!" Courtney chuckled, "It's what happens when the ratings go down!" She looks to the camera and winks. Julie chuckles, snapping some photos with Courtney, leaving Manny annoyed.
Drew, wearing a maroon t-shirt with dark blue jeans arrived, wielding a knife, "Got a trick for y'all!" He throws it all the way across the beach into a tree; it seemed as if the cut was deep. "See?" He chuckles, "How was that for a first impression?!"
"Yeah..." Manny mutters, "No violent weapons this season, okay?" Drew rolled his eyes, running off to the tree that he had just assaulted.
"Hey everyone! I'm ready!" Sally yelled, jumping off the boat onto her knees, "Oh! I'm good, I'm good...I think!" She stands up defiantly, brushing off the sand and walking next to Christopher. She wore a Japanese Red headband with a red kurt, knee high white socks, and a red and white sailor schoolgirl uniform under a black vest.
"What a way to enter, dumbass!" a guy yelled from the boat, jumping off. He wore a white shirt under a leather jacket and had black jeans, "You come onto the show to lose and you fall of the boat like a bitch? Good job sister, your path to loserdom has been fulfilled!"
Sally turns to the guy, named Damien, and glares at him, "Don't get me started! I just got here!" Christopher seemed uncomfortable, and took a few steps to the side.
Christopher: (CONF.) Okay, we've been here for like 5 minutes and shit is already getting started...damn.
Manny looks at Damien, who threw his things on the ground, "Um, sorry to let you know, but Naru was supposed to enter first, not you!" Damien wasn't even listening, he already had earbuds in his ears, listening to music.
Naru finally came in, smiling. She wore a loose crop top that revealed her shoulders and midriff, blue, high-waisted jeans, and green converse, "Hey dude!" She looks to Damien, "Don't be so rude! We just got here!" But again, Damien wasn't even listening. Naru heads to stand with the rest.
Three more people came in: Aurora, Alice, and Jamie. Aurora came in first, wearing a white, off the shoulder sweater with a black mini-skirt. She even wore black, high-heeled boots. This is what got Damien's attention.
"Wow! Hot mama!" Damien yells as Aurora passes by, trying to be unbothered, "Come here babe!"
Courtney smiles at Aurora, "Just ignore him."
Aurora nods, "I'll try but...we'll see..."
Alice arrives too, wearing a purple chiffon tank top with blue jeans and a flower hairband. She wore a necklace as well, quietly mumbling to herself while she held it.
Naru smiled at Alice, "What's up? That's a really nice necklace!"
"Oh really?" Alice looks top Naru and smiles, "Thanks!"
"Wait a minute! I recognize you!" Drew says, "You're that girl in that duo band 'The Orland Stepsiblings' with your brother Steven!" He winks at Alice, "So uh...you must be rich, right?"
Alice scoffs and backs up, "I am but uh...you're making me uncomfortable so..." She accidentally backs up into Julie, who snapped a picture of Alice.
"Oh my gosh! Alice Orland! THE Alice Orland! AHH!" Julie squeals, "I love your music! Can I take an honorary selfie?" Alice smiles a little, going up for the picture.
Alice: (CONF.) *messes with hair* Wow, when I thought that no one would notice me...I was completely wrong!
Jamie arrived, wearing a white, leather jacket with large black track pants and black combat boots, "What up?!" He kicked a ton of sand into the air, which all landed on Silver, who fell onto the floor. Immediately, Jamie ran to her side and tried to remove the sand. "Oh my...I'm SO sorry! I wanted to leave off a good first impression but I guess..." Some people chuckled, leaving Jamie embarrassed.
Manny was one of the laughers, "Well then, let's met our last three contestants! Falcao, Fredrick, and James!"
A beautiful girl wearing a light purple crop top with long sleeves and blue denim shorts came in, holding a backpack full or books, canvases, and paint, "Hi!" She happily says, "That's totally me, Falcao! It's Spanish for hawk, strong and powerful!" She placed her bags down next to Courtney, who smiled at her.
Fredrick walks off the boat. He was wearing a light brown, unbuttoned jacket over a long-sleeved white shirt. He had dark brown cargo pants as well. He nods too everyone, walking with a certain swagger that made it seem as if he was charming and a nice gentlemen.
Lastly, James jumped off the boat wearing a blood-red t-shirt with a Dr. Pepper logo on it and had stonewashed blue jeans with some dog collar tags around his neck. He was even holding a guitar case in his hands. "Hi guys!" James seemed a bit shy, but seemed okay enough for interaction. He wore a hat as well that represented the Baltimore Orioles. He then stood next to the other 13 contestants, ready for whatever was going to hit them.
"Okay! Now that we're all here, why don't we get ourselves sorted into teams!" Manny takes out a crumpled sheet of paper that showed the two teams that would be competing pre-merge, "So...uh...on Team Tigre, which is Filipino for 'tiger,' surprise...huh? Is...Naru, Aurora, Alice, Logan, James, Christopher, and Damien! And on Team Loro, which is Filipino for 'parrot,' is Julie, Sally, Falcao, Silver, Fredrick, Jamie, and Drew!" He proceeds to throw the paper in the sky, "Anyway! Get with your team and do some introducing guys! You're gonna have to deal with each other of some time!"
The teams got together and spoke in decent conversations. Julie was able to snap a team photo together, while Team Tigre seemed a bit more distant from each other.
Manny cut them off, "Okay then! That was only like thirty seconds of talk but who cares?! On with the challenge!"
Everyone groaned...as if this wasn't going to happen.
"But Manny!" Falcao groans, "Can we please have a minute to head to our cabins or something? I need to put my things away!"
"I agree," James says as well, "Is Courtney gonna like be the one who puts our stuff away?" He places his guitar next to Courtney's, "Okay then!"
Courtney growls at him, "Excuse me? What the hell are you thinking? That I'm Chef?! Oh, hell no! I'm not cooking for any of you!" She looks to Manny, "What are we gonna do with their stuff? They're already complaining!"
Manny sighs, "Well..." he starts to mutter, "I was actually gonna make you the one who would put their stuff away but..."
"What? No! Not doing it!" Courtney yells. Her eyes then went wide, as if she had an idea, "I know! I've got a challenge idea! Everyone, dump your stuff in front of me!"
Without any hesitation, everyone placed their stuff next to Courtney who was throwing them back into the boat. Once it was all done, she spoke to the boat driver.
Everyone was confused, whispering to each other.
"Is this a challenge?" Sally asked, "Because if it is..." she grins, "I'm ready for it!"
Julie shrugs, "As long as it's not too strenuous, I'll be okay!"
Jamie chuckles, putting his hand on his hips, "Too bad Julie, I guess you're just not gonna win!"
"Well, we do have other teammates that can pull for Julie just in case, you know...so if you're trying to sabotage us...good luck..." Sally responds.
Sally: (CONF.) If Jamie even thinks that he can cross me or any of our teammates... *she shines her signature 'Sweet Deadly Smile'*
Logan was no longer filming and watching Courtney talking. He whispers to Aurora, "Isn't she hot?"
Aurora looks to Damien, who was turned away until he looked at Aurora, making her gasp and look away, "Yeah...sure..."
The boat then left the beach, starting to make a circle around the big island. The contestants were worried and eventually annoyed.
"What the...are you fucking kidding me? How dare you put our shit away like that!" Fredrick yells in annoyance. He bumps Silver's shoulder, "Don't you think that that's stupid?!"
Silver nods for longer than she needed to, then looked away. Fredrick seemed confused at Silver's unneeded silence.
Fredrick: (CONF.) What's her problem?
Silver: (CONF.) *holds up words on a notepad* Just so the viewers know, I'm what you call 'The Silent One.' Why speak when your actions mean so much more?
"Anyway, I call this challenge - 'Hijack the Boat!'" Courtney smiles, "The overall goal is to chase that boat and bring it back to where you were all dropped off. The team that brings the boat back with all of their teammates together will win immunity for tonight! And the losing team...well...we all know how that's gonna go!"
Christopher gathered his team together, "Okay guys, mind if I take control for today? My dad was in the Navy and Marine Corps and hers taught me some boat skills by the way!" He seemed pretty proud of it.
"Sorry sweetie, I know that you're trying to show off your dad and all, but does anybody care about him right now?" Damien asks, looking around at everyone.
Aurora chuckles, "Yeah, who does fucking care?"
"Hey..." James mutters, but Aurora didn't hear.
Christopher seemed annoyed, but ignored it to his best of his ability, "Fine then. What do you have in mind?"
"Well..." Damien starts, "Perhaps we could have nerd boy over here do it for us, he'll help us win!" He points to James, who gets a bit freaked out.
"What do you mean? The sea out here scares me!" James responds, to the team looking out at the calm, beautiful sea, confused.
Naru looks to her team, "I'd actually love to try out some of this boating thing! I'll do the driving!" She looks to everybody, who nodded in agreement.
Alice chimed in, "Wait guys...you do realize that we have to get to the boat first. Are we gonna run all the way there?" Tigre got scared now - what were they going to do?
But, their strategizing was over when Manny rang a loud air horn that signaled the challenge's beginning. Tigre watched Loro as they started running around the forest to get to the boat first.
"Just run!" Logan yells, beginning to film ahead of Tigre that was lagging behind.
...
(Loro)
Sally, who was behind everyone to make sure no one was behind, screamed, "Don't look back! Don't fret about the others, focus on us!"
Julie panted, "It's pretty hard to do that when you want to catch a breath every minute!"
Julie: (CONF.) I hope my team doesn't put me down because of how un-athetic I am...I'm useful in other ways!
Fredrick was throwing his hands in the air as if he was having fun with it, "This is actually pretty fun! Can't keep up?" He ask Falcao, who seemed tired.
Falcao grunted, "No, it's not! I want to go to the cabins!" Fredrick smirked and continued running.
Falcao: (CONF.) Not sure if anyone knew this, but I'm kinda annoyed...
Jamie was running next to Sally, Drew and Silver, who were both tied, "Hey, wanna hear something?"
Silver shakes her head and points to her moving feet. Sally shakes her head too, not even looking at Jamie.
He went on anyway, "Fine, I'll tell ya! Silver, I think that you're way too quiet and if you don't speak up, you're the first one going out!" Silver seemed horrified at what Jamie had said, with Sally grabbing Jamie and throwing him forward of the group. Sally looked to Sally, who smiled.
Drew chuckled, "Seems that we already have a rivalry!"
(Tigre)
Damien was growling, obviously pissed off about their situation, "Someone needs to carry me, right now!" He went to a full stop, making everyone else do the same.
"Damien! Let's move!" Christopher bluntly says, "I don't leave anyone behind and even though you seem like a terrible person, I'm not leaving you behind!" He got into Damien's ear and screamed, "NOW MOVE IT!"
Alice gasped, whispering, "Christopher is so tough..."
Naru sighs, "That's actually kinda cute though...it's like we're...I don't know, similar."
Naru: (CONF.) When I used to live in an orphanage, they used to call me the 'Destroyer!' Well, partly because I got into fight all the time and stuff. But regardless, the fact that Christopher and Damien could get physical at any time sounds awesome! I wanna see a brawl!
Alice stood between Damien and Christopher, "Instead of arguing, let's resolve it, okay? This running plan is just awful. We need some kind of plan to win...fast! And in my opinion, if Christopher had an army dad, he must be strong. So...I was thinking..."
The scene then cut to Christopher carrying the other six of his teammates, all chanting, "Tigre!"
Logan held his camera on the top, "WOW! THIS IS AMAZING!" Aurora threw her middle finger at the camera, making Logan laugh, and all of a sudden, they saw Loro making their way towards the slowly moving boat.
"Oh no! Christopher! Faster!" Alice yells, with Christopher nodding and screaming as he ran for the boat.
At this point, Loro was swimming towards the boat, striding as sat as they could. Then, they heard a loud screaming above them. They looked above but were too late to notice before Tigre landed straight on top of them.
The teams struggled for a bit before they went straight into fighting to get onto the boat.
Fredrick started punching at Damien, "Take this bitch!" He threw a hand at Damien's face, who got hit. Damien's face was filled with anger, thrashing back at Fredrick. Aurora noticed this fighting, joining in by punching Fredrick in the face as well. "ARRG!" Fredrick yells, "Help!" Drew quickly comes to him, shoving Damien away and throwing Aurora to the side.
"You okay man?" Drew asks. Fredrick, whose face was bleeding, nodded.
Fredrick: (CONF.) So...fucking...pissed off right now...
Meanwhile, Sally, Christopher, Naru, Falcao, Alice, Julie, James, Logan, James, and Silver continued battling it out in the water, all struggling to get to the boat that was now abandoned once the teams interfered with each other. Naru was wrestling Sally while Christopher tried to stop James and Logan from reaching the boat. Eventually, Julie was able to sneak onto the boat and start the engine. No one noticed it until she yelled to everybody, "The boat's on! Hop on!"
Everyone noticed this and began scrambling for the boat, leaving Julie dumbfounded.
Julie: (CONF.) *facepalms* How stupid can I get?!
Damien and Fredrick wrestled, but were stomped on by Christopher, who was grabbing Julie's arm, "Move!"
Julie pulled back, making Christopher fall over, "Never!" She snapped a photo of Naru with a bright flash that shocked Naru and made her fall to the ground.
Naru: (CONF.) Damn! That camera has the brightest flash that I've ever seen!"
But, Julie accidentally slipped on the wet boat floor, allowing for Alice and Aurora to begin steering the boat with everyone on it already, "Here comes that win!" Aurora cheers. She looks to Damien, who had pinned Fredrick and Drew to the ground, and went up next to him, "So, you put these boys in their place?" Aurora looks to Fredrick and Drew, who looked pissed.
Damien smirks, "Yeah...wanna teach 'em a lesson?"
Aurora cracks her knuckles, "Don't mind if I do!" And then she proceeds to keep the two pinned down.
Alice was driving, constantly looking behind her, but then screamed and fell over when she saw Silver underneath her came to trip her over, "AH! Where did you come from?!"
Silver ignored her and drove the boat, eyeing for a rock that was shaped like a slope that you could drive up and be thrown into the air.
"Uh..." Jamie says, fighting back James, "Silver, what are you doing?" But Silver still ignored him, then she hit the gas and the boat stormed onto the rock, throwing the boat high into the air. Everyone was screaming, afraid of where they would land.
Manny, with his binoculars, sees the contestants, "Oh...they're done? That was fast!"
Courtney chuckles, looking at her nails, "Told you I had good ideas!" People landed on the beach, while some landed in the water.
After some commotion, Manny noticed the majority of people on the beach being from Team Loro, "And Team Loro wins our first season challenge!" The teams scurried back together, either cheering or sighing in sadness from their loss.
"Are you kidding me?!" Christopher moaned, "But I thought everybody had to be on the beach to count as a team, not the majority! This is so stupid!"
Sally chuckled at Christopher, "What's the matter little boy? Sad that you didn't win? It's life bro, get used to it!" Christopher growled at Sally, but then looked to his team in disappointment.
Manny then stands between the teams, "Okay. Since Loro won today, they have the opportunity of getting to go back to the cabins on a jeep driven by my girl Courtney!" Loro cheered as they headed off.
Fredrick, as he was heading off with Drew and his team, looked back to Aurora and Damien, grinning evilly.
Then Manny turned to Tigre, "Well, I thought that tigers could beat parrots but I guess they didn't! Sucks for you! It's time to eliminate someone!"
...
(Elimination)
It was nighttime at this point, and Tigre was surrounding a campfire created by Manny. The host took a seat next to them, chuckling, "Okay...so...how was your first day as a squad? Was it what you wanted?"
Christopher spoke first, shaking his head, "Not at all. I thought people would be more compliant."
"With what?" Alice asks Christopher, "You can't actually expect us to do what you want."
Aurora nods, "Alice is right. People like that make me sick."
Christopher: (CONF.) Are people actually going against me? On the first day?! Urrgh... *puts hands on head*
Naru adds in, "Maybe if we designated a team leader we could get among better. I say Alice and I!" Alice smiles at Naru, who smiled back.
James shakes his head, "We need a leader who is tough and can do anything in stressful situations, so I choose Christopher!" Christopher nods.
"What?" Naru exclaims, "I'm tough as nails too James! Do you want me to show you!" She grabs James by the shirt and puts a fist at his face. Logan and Alice stopped both of them.
Logan sighs, "You guys need to stop. There is no fun with this, okay?" Naru sits down, glaring at James.
James: (CONF. ) What am I doing to offend Naru? I just fell like Christopher would make a better leader than Alice and her! I didn't say I wanted to be the leader here! *sighs*
Manny smiles at the commotion, "I like the drama! Okay now, go to the confessionals and vote for who you want to eliminate!"
Aurora: (CONF.) *writes* Honestly, this is the only option...
Logan: (CONF.) It's kinda hard to vote someone out...but at least I'm out of the blue! No drama for me!
Alice: (CONF.) I'm a bit annoyed...urrgh...
Damien: (CONF.) One down already? Well, it'll make my job a bit easier! *chuckles*
Christopher: (CONF.) *writing*
James: (CONF.) Sucks for you... *puts name down*
Naru: (CONF.) *puts name down* Let's see what'll happen...
The voting was done and Manny was collecting votes. Once he was done, he looked to everyone, "Okay!" He takes out a plate of Jollibee Chicken, "Jollibee is a very popular fast food chain in the Philippines, and luckily, we've been endorsed by them! How cool is that?!"
"Not at all," Damien bluntly says.
Manny, feeling awkward, goes back to talking, "Okay, when I call your name, grab a piece of Jollibee Chicken because you're safe! And if you don't get one, you're out! Okay...those who get chicken are...

.Naru! Logan, you have been eliminated!"
Logan was shocked, "What?! Already?! WHY!"
Alice sighs, "Well, you don't seem to be that useful, so we voted for the right person to go home... Sorry."
Logan sighs as he was escorted by Manny to the Bee Boat Of Shame, "So Logan, even though you have been eliminated, you have the amazing opportunity to be the first person to ride our Jollibee-promoted Bee Boat! Losers take it when they go home! So go! Bye dude!" and Manny pushes Logan onto the boat.
As the Bee Boat sailed away, Logan turned on his camera, "Hey guys, vlogging to you live on a Bee Boat is..." and the boat disappeared into the distance.
Manny smiles, "Wow...that is such a stupid boat, huh? Anyway! This first day on Panganib Island has proven itself to be tough, so can Tigre handle it, or will they fall into the pressure? Find out next time on Total Drama Panganib Island 2!"
...
Anyways, thank you for reading the first chapter! It was great writing and I hope you enjoyed it! I'm going to leave a poll out on my profile if anyone wants to vote for who they like so I can really see who the popular ones are. I used to do them for every episode, but now, I'll done one for Episode 1, 6, and every episode of the merge since eliminations after the merge will be based on votes (but I will see soon).
Leave a review on your thoughts too if you don't feel like voting!
Thanks again, see ya!
