A talk show like stage is set up as the opening music plays with the audience cheering and sitting down on the main couches are Cody and Tyler smiling and finger pointing to the audience. "Welcome Total Drama Peeps; welcome to the debut edition of the all new and super cool Total Drama Action Aftermath Show!" Cody greeted to the cheering crowd.
"We are coming to you live to give you the dish about everything Total Drama Action! I'm Tyler and this right here is my bro from another mother Cody!" Tyler said pointing to himself and Cody.
"And we are the Drama Brothers; been recording our first album together and we hope to have it out soon for all our fans and the single ladies our age!" Cody remarked to cheers from teenage members of the crowd. "You may remember us from Total Drama's first season entitled Island and we didn't get picked for the new Action season but we are here with our friends who also didn't get picked!" Cody then said as it showed the side stands with the other 6 non-qualifaying for Action contestants for Island.
"Give it up for Katie! Sadie! Justin! Owen and... Uh... Heather and Lindsay!" Tyler then said as the former contestants waved but when it got to the final 2 who were sitting together on the bottom row; they got booed causing Heather to huff with her arms folded and Lindsay to look nervous.
"To think that we wasted our season fighting over her Tyler..." Cody shook his head with his eyes closed and Tyler nodded.
"Well at least it led to us going over it together and realising that we were made to be bros!" Tyler said and they both high fived.
"We got texts and calls from the loving Total Drama fanbase as well as special guests from the 3 eliminated Action stars!" Cody said as the crowd cheered. "Let's get one up now... Leonard!" Cody said as there were groans from the crowd and the eliminated contestants as Cody sighed. "We feel ya but we have to..." Cody muttered as Tyler nodded.
The monitor showed clips of Leonard on the show; "Leonard really did make an impression on his fellow contestants by committing to his LARPing wizard bit; not a positive impression per say but still..." Tyler said as there were a few polite claps as Leonard came out onto the stage.
"Thank you for hosting me on this fine performance but I must say that the banquet foods backstage were quite empty." Leonard said and everyone else on stage had their eyes turned to Owen who looked nervous.
"So Leonard; how does it feel being the first one voted off and not getting to win the million dollars?" Tyler asked.
"Especially considering that you were the only one on your team who didn't vote for you?" Cody asked as Leonard shook his head.
"Though my quest has failed this young and gifted wizard; I truly can't fault my fellow party members as losing the challenge means a sacrifice and it reminds me of an another adventure that I went on with my best friend Tammy..." Leonard said as a buzzer went off.
"Oh sorry Leonard but that's time's up for you. Chris gave very specific instructions that you only got 2 minutes at maximum." Tyler said as Leonard got out a spellbook.
"Not to worry; I know the time stop spell is here somewhere..." Leonard said as security came in and dragged him away.
"What a weirdo..." Cody muttered under his breath and then faced the crowd. "We have some texts to read out from our adoring public." Cody then got out a card and perked up saying "CodyFangirl73 says 'I love you Cody and I wish that we can meet and marry!'" Cody laughed and said "Wow; I must say that I am flattered but who can blame her for the Codmeister is a real chick magnet..."
"Yeah there is an online poll for more the most desirable Total Drama Guys from the teenage girls and you and me both ranked... 4th under Justin, Brady... Wow Lincoln got the top spot and should we call Lincoln the chick magnet since he has 2 girlfriends?" Tyler said and there was a 'Lincoln' chant. "Looks like him becoming one of Courtney's lackeys hasn't hurt his popularity." Tyler then said looking a little jealous.
"Yeah Lincoln is another bro and quite lucky to score with Gwen; I can't tell you how jealous I was that he got to be her gentleman when she was freezing cold in her bikini!" Cody muttered.
"Yeah you never did get that bra from her so I won the bet!" Owen laughed as he got the girls on the stand to glare at him and some boos at this.
"Yeah Lincoln during the sleeping challenge didn't take too kindly to that when we had that sleeping challenge... Can't blame him..." Cody sighed.
"Plus what happened after your little dunk and what the cameras didn't show but we got an exclusive never before seen clip for you right now!" Tyler said as the crowd cheered as Cody panicked and pleaded with Tyler not to.
Lincoln dropped Cody from dunking him in the water at the beach and saw a crab; he then picked it up and put it down Cody's shirt and screamed as it crawled down him and to his lower half...
There were laughs from the crowd and the former contestants and Cody was glaring at Tyler with his arms folded. "Sorry Cody bro but we got to give the crowd what they want! Plus we got our 2nd guest up and it's... Oh no..." Tyler said and picked up a card and all colour left his face as he read it. "Lauren..." Tyler muttered as there were screams of fright and the contestants at the stand then cheesed it right to the backstage.
The monitor showed clips of Lauren as Cody nervously narrated "Lauren she... Well... She terrified just about everyone to the point where the Screaming Gaffers were actively trying to lose so that they could vote her off..."
Lauren with her scary smile walked onto stage and sat down. "So Lauren... Your own team lost to vote you off... How do you feel?" Tyler asked with a nervous gulp trying to get it out of the way.
"I feel tremendous upset and anger at my former teammates and their suffering as I enact my vengeance shall be drawn out and their pleads to just let them die will be ignored but I also feel quite happy that I gave it my best and got to try new things!" Lauren said looking scary and then smiled again.
"That's good... Wait we are getting a call from someone called Izzy..." Cody said as the monitor went down and Lauren squealed as it showed Izzy in a parking lot as there were sirens about.
"Izzy! I have missed you! My best friend!" Lauren squealed as Cody and Tyler's eyes widened.
"Lauren! I have missed you more and you totally got robbed by your stupid teammates! You deserved to win more than they do!" Izzy said as Lauren looked like she would blush.
"You are too kind Izzy..." Lauren replied as Cody fake coughed.
"Uh Izzy... Is that sirens? What is going on?" Cody asked as Izzy laughed.
"I am at the parking lot of my juvie building; I instigated a riot so that I could break out and steal my phone back to do this and... Oh... Here is my favourite guard Sanderson!" Izzy said and then moved the phone screen to show an angry looking short haired black woman in guard uniform leading other guards to chasing at Izzy.
"You have done it now Izzy! I was supposed to call my sick grandmother at this time!" Sanderson yelled as Izzy went back into view and then waved as the call ended.
"That was... Something... Well we have to cut to commercial now..." Cody said.
"After the break; we will have more Drama and our 3rd and final guest: Sid!" Tyler then said as the crowd cheered as Lauren snickered.
"Welcome back to the show and after our... Interesting first half; we are here to go over the dirt with Courtney's alliance for Action but first a text..." Tyler said and then his eyes widened as he read out. "BTRTWN01 wrote: Why did my useless sister Samey get chosen for the show and not me? I already had my bags packed and everything!" There was silence from those on stage including the former contestants who were back at their stand. "Well Sammy our main intern has said that apparently working on the show was better than dealing with her sister but... Moving on..." Tyler coughed.
"Let's go over the one to worry about this season: Courtney. As you remember from our losers episodes for Island... Well... Circumstances made us accidentally vote Courtney out of the competition and it really got to her. So much so that she has convinced 2 thirds of the TD power couple Lincoln and Dawn to form an alliance with her!" Cody said.
"Extra surprising since Dawn is the super sweet nature lover and Lincoln... Well he did well teaming with her for the Race episode last season but to actually side with her and vote off a friend from back home?" Tyler said as the crowd went 'ooh'.
"I was so shocked that Lincoln would do that! I would never vote off Sadie; not even after our fight last season!" Sadie stated as Kate nodded.
"Same goes for me; friends should stick together always!" Katie said as they both shook their heads; clearly not happy with Lincoln.
"Well let's see what Sid has to say!" Tyler said as the crowd cheered as Sid came out waving with Breakfast Bot following her passing out pancakes to everyone on stage.
"Wow... These are amazing... Please have more!" begged Owen as Breakfast Bot went to get more as they finished them up.
"So Sid; how's it like being voted off so early in the show?" Cody asked.
"I don't know Cody; what was it like not making it to the merger and then not qualifying for the next season?" Sid asked crossing her eyes as the crowd went 'ooh' as the hosts had their eyes widened. "Tyler; I have no problems with you as you are cool and tried to warn everyone about Lindsay but you Cody... The bit with Gwen's bra and it was thanks to you that Lincoln made a drunken fool out of himself on TV and almost got attacked by a bear! I think you deserved that more than him or Tyler!" Sid said with a glare as Cody was speechless.
"Wow thanks Sid..." Tyler muttered as Cody shook his head.
"Was an accident but... Wow; so quick to defend Lincoln even after him voting you off..." Cody asked as Sid looked and sighed.
"Well I did say no hard feelings and all... Lincoln and I had our squabbles sure but he is a friend and I am glad that we met through Ronnie Anne and I'm still glad that I got to be on his team." Sid said firmly as there were claps from the crowd.
"Well we will see how honest you are in playing Truth or Hammer!" Tyler said as the opening went up. "Here is how it will go Sid; we will ask you questions and a giant hammer will go down if you lie!" Tyler explained as Sid was weirded out but nodded ready.
"Okay Sid... First question... Are you bummed at all about being voted out..." Cody asked as Sid just shook her head.
"Okay... Yeah a little and same about Lincoln helping but... I did my best and he is still my friend and Dawn is pretty cool as well!" Sid answered with a smirk as no hammer came down.
"Well Sid; can I ask if there is any jealousy towards Dawn or Gwen?" Tyler asked as Sid batted an eye.
"Nice tyr but Link is a friend who is a boy. Sure Dawn and Gwen are lucky to have him and I can easily see why they like him that way and so does my sister..." Sid said and then paused as she realised what she had said and nervously waved to the cameras. "Sorry Adelaide..." Sid muttered as there were snickers.
"One last question: any chance of Breakfast Bot starting a robot uprising?" Cody asked as Sid rolled her eyes.
"Never; never happened..." Sid muttered but dodged as the giant wooden hammer came down.
"Well let's see what this exclusive clip has to say about that..." Tyler said.
After the fall of the animatronic in the first episode; the teams were making sure that eachother were safe and gathering together as Sid had Max come up to her. "Your robot; should I help you get it back; would you consider joining forces and reprogramming it for evil!" Max offered as Sid glared at him.
"Breakfast Bot is never being reprogrammed and turning evil again!" Sid snapped at him and there was the Killer Grips nearby looking to her as she looked nervous. "Years ago when I was a kid... I reprogrammed Breakfast Bot to do Ronnie Anne and her cousins' chores for them but it ended up with him leading the apartments appliances into a mini robot uprising before we fixed things..." Sid explained.
"...I learned my lesson and Breakfast Bot was never reprogrammed for selfish purposes again..." Sid muttered as Breakfast Bot came back with a plate of pancakes and Owen pretty much charged at it as the other former contestants on the stands looked terrified at the robot now.
"Another final question Sid but... Are you worried about your friend Lincoln and Dawn under Courtney's influence?" Cody asked as Sid thought it over and sighed.
"Okay yeah...Courtney definitely wants to win and made her alliance with Dawn and Lincoln to help her do it and... I am a bit worried about what Courtney would want them to do in order to get ahead in the competition..." Sid admitted as Tyler and Cody let the crowd sink it in.
"Well that's enough drama for one episode; we will see you on the next Aftermath Show!" Tyler said as he and Cody waved to the cameras as the crowd clapped.
No Geoff and Bridgette is still actively competing and I had planned for Tyler and Cody to host the verse's Aftermath show since last season as even when they were both love rivals for Lindsay in my story; I had planned for them to end up with a bromance after they were eliminated leading to them being the verse's Drama Brothers.
