Aftermath 1: Crowning Glory!

"Who do you want to win in Musical Impact?"

Day #4 - Crown Island, 9:20 PM

The camera cuts to a beautiful island in the night surrounded with white sandy beaches and forests, a perfect view of the crystalline ocean, and a small resort. It then spins around only to find a certain magenta-haired female smiling happily.

"Welcome folks and viewers to THE FIRST AFTERMATH SHOW! HOSTED BY YOURS TRULY, SIERRA!" Sierra waved at the camera. "I'm only hosting this aftermath episode, so let's make it count!"

"You can count on me like one, two, three-" a random song played.

"WHO THE HELL LET BRUNO MARS IN HERE!?" Sierra shrieked.

The camera shook left and right, then Sierra's happy smile turns serious.

"Anyway, we are here at Crown Island to meet four out of our eighteen performers that were sadly eliminated from the show due to certain circumstances. But I hope staying at Crown Island Resort won't be a pain to them!" Sierra said.

"Growing pains, growing pains, they keeping me up at night-"

"Okay, this random song thing needs to stop-"

"Should we go in the resort or what-"

"Shut up, Trent!" Sierra snapped. "We're going in, okay!"

"Okay."

*Special Opening Theme 1 Plays*

Song: ?

The camera shows a short overview of Musimental Theater.

'Cause you really hurt me

It replayed the scene when Oli fell into the water back in episode 2.

No you really hurt me

It showed another replay, this time with May confronting one of her teammates in episode 3.

'Cause you really hurt me

The next replay showed Samuel leaving the competition because of getting a 5-3 vote in episode 5.

No you really hurt me

The replay after that showed Arreis getting yelled at by Chris for being in his office in episode 6.

'Cause you really hurt me

Another replay showed each of the eliminated contestants' intros from when they first arrived.

Oh you really hurt me, oh

The next one showed a replay of the performers' first performance of the season.

'Cause you really hurt me

It showed the contestants being paired up by other contestants.

Oh you really hurt me

It showed all four of them enter the resort as the title 'Total Drama: Musical Impact Aftermath' appears on the screen.

*end special theme*

Sierra and Trent went in the lobby of the resort. The resort looked pretty large, having three floors, two pools with slides, and dining area, in which you can get a beautiful glimpse of the ocean. Before they could proceed, there was a note near the wall.

"Huh? What's this?" Sierra asked.

"It says that we should go to the dining area." Trent shrugged.

"Whaaaaaaaaaat? Okay, let's just go there anyway." Sierra answered and the two head into the hall and entered the dining room.

"HIIIIIIIII SIERRA AND TRENT!" May greeted happily and gave the two a hug.

"Hi! We're sorry we've kept you guys waiting!" Sierra apologized.

"You don't have to be sorry!" Oli smiled. "We just finished our preparations for our performance!"

"Performance?" Trent asked.

"Yup!" Samuel nodded. "Is everyone here? Let's get started!"

Suddenly, Arreis entered the room, looking as if she hasn't slept. There were bags under her eyes.

"Oh dear, Arreis!" Sierra came and hugged her 'clone'. "What happened?"

"Chris happened." Arreis scoffed her arms.

"Wait, you were eliminated?!" May gasped. "Why?"

"I can't really imagine Team Forte turning their backs against you!" Samuel exclaimed.

"No, they didn't vote for me." Arreis shook her head. "Chris kicked me out of the contest for going inside his office to return our applications. I saw them scattered on the floor of the halls the other day and of course, it's best to put them back where they belong. But then, I got caught, and boom! I got here." Arreis explained with a hint of frustration in her voice.

"That's not cool." Trent commented.

"Uhm, okay. Let's set aside all negative thoughts and move on to our performance!"

"Yup!" May grinned and whispered to Arreis about the song they were going to perform and who will sing who, as well as her parts of the song.

"You guys can sit on the chairs. We'll all be having our late late dinner after this haha." Oli chuckled.

"Oh wow. I can tell you guys prepped this up, huh?" Sierra said. The four went to their positions with their instruments.

"Alright. Soooo... um... good evening to us all..." May nervously spoke. "We'll be performing a song called 'Princess of China'. Hope you guys like it!"

Then, they began playing music as all four of them sing in unison.

"Oh"

Oli began singing the first part.

"Once upon a time somebody ran
Somebody ran away saying fast as I can
I've got to go, I've got to go!"

Samuel picked up the next part after him.

"Once upon a time we fell apart
You're holding in your hands the two halves of my heart
Oh, oh!"

All four of them sang altogether once again.

"Oh"

Both May and Arreis carried on in the next verse.

"Once upon a time, we burned bright
Now all we ever seem to do is fight
On and on"

All four of them sang in unison again.

"And on and on and on

Once upon a time on the same side.
Once upon a time on the same side, in the same game
And why'd you have to go, have to go and throw water on my flame"

May began singing on her own for the chorus.

"I could've been a princess, you'd be a king
Could've had a castle, and worn a ring
But no, you let me go"

Arreis sang the same part after her.

"I could've been a princess, you'd be a king
Could've had a castle, and worn a ring
But no, you let me go"

The four of them sang again. Sierra was secretly singing along for a little bit.

"And stole my star
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
You stole my star
La, la la la la la"

An interlude played and after that, they all resumed on singing. We can all tell they were having a good time in the evening.

"Oh-oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh-oh oh oh oh oh oh oh"

Everyone sang until the outro.

"'Cause you really hurt me
No you really hurt me
'Cause you really hurt me
No you really hurt me
'Cause you really hurt me
Oh you really hurt me, oh
'Cause you really hurt me
Oh you really hurt me"

"Bravo!" Sierra and Trent applauded.

"Yeah, now we can eat dinner. I'm starving!" Oli commented.

All six of them began eating dinner. They had different foods like steak and rice and a side of juice. They also shared some stories about how they were coping up with stuff.

After dinner, everyone helped fixed things.

"We'll be interviewing you guys so I hope you won't fall asleep till then." Sierra told them.

"Sure, no problem!" The four of them nodded.

A while later...

"Now, let's go in the girls' room. We're gonna be starting the interviews!" Sierra told the camera.

Knock knock!

"Come in guys!" Arreis's voice can be heard

Sierra stepped in the room with Trent holding the camera. Arreis motioned them to sit in the couch.

"Hello!" Sierra waved. "I thought May was here?"

"Oh, she's in the shower. That girl takes some time in the bathroom every night." Arreis said.

"I guess we should start with you then." Trent commented.

"So, how's being on Crown Island?" Sierra asked.

"I just arrived here though. Can't say I like it yet but I can tell that this is a great place." Arreis nods.

"Okay. How was your game back at Musimental Island?"

"Not really the best experience." Arreis admits sadly. "I haven't got that much time to bond with my team and my former team fights and argues a lot. Plus I lost for no reason. Just because Chris ordered me to stop that doesn't mean I should get eliminated!"

"Ouch. Okay I see where you're going. So do you regret any actions regarding the game?"

"Maybe I shouldn't have brought the files back to that lame guy's office." Arreis scoffed. "I should have left it there on the floor."

Sierra jutted her chin. "Okay, doing a bad deed can get you an advantage I guess?" She chuckled nervously. "Last of all, who do you want to win in Musical Impact?"

"I'd say Kimmie." Arreis answered. "That girl's got guts. She may be a bit of an airhead but at least she's got a chance."

"Alright. Thanks for your time, Arreis. Do you mind me asking about Oli's whereabouts?"

"Oh, he's probably in the kitchen getting a midnight snack. That guy gets hungry easily." Arreis amswered. Sierra thanked her and left the room.

Meanwhile, Oli was indeed getting a snack from the kitchen refrigerator.

"Hmm, should I have some biscuits? Or maybe I'll get a bag of popcorn? Oh well." He sighed as he got a juice box and closed the refrigerator. After doing so, he turned back, only to see Trent!

"DUDE!" Oli shrieked and nearly dropped his drink. "Were you gonna scare me?"

"Not really. You said it's okay for us to interview you though." Trent said. "Anyway, first things first. How was your time in this island?"

"Boring since I was the first one here." Oli admitted. "When May came though, we played instruments and stuff. Usually I would play a random guitar and she would sing. It was like we were having our own concert! Then Samuel came in and we agreed to perform when you guys came as soon as we heard the news."

"Nice." Trent nodded. "Although, some fans in social media were talking about your relationship with Amanda. Care to give a word?"

"I like her. Yes, that was cannon but I already knew she would reject me by calling me a fool and stuff. Hopefully we'll bond by the time she arrives here." Oli smiled.

"I see. Next question, who you like the least in the game?"

"I'd say Meredith." He shrugged. "She kinda blindsided me by voting me off instead of someone else. So I thought we had a deal but I guess that deal is off."

Trent nodded. "Who do you want to win the season?'

"Evander." He stated. "Can't really forget about his solo performance and I guess he deserved to be a good player."

"Okay. Thanks for taking your time! You can continue on finding a snack if you wish."

"Oh I already did!" Oli said and handed Trent two cupcakes. "The other one's for Sierra. You can have the other one though, it's the least I could do."

"Thank you." Trent said. "Where's Samuel by the way?"

"He's probably in the terrace." Oli shrugged. "I saw him head there anyway."

"Alright, thanks again, my man!" Trent nodded and went to find Samuel. He was indeed in the terrace because he can hear a male voice singing with the accompaniment of a guitar.

"Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep," Samuel sang with his guitar. "Dreaming about the things that we could be..."

"Hi, Samuel!" Trent greeted.

"Hey, Trent!" Samuel waved to him.

"Do you mind if I sit and interview you for a bit?"

"Sure."

After he was seated, Sierra fixed the camera to Samuel and Trent.

"How's your time here in Crown Island?" Trent asked him.

"It was pretty good." Samuel answered. "Oli, May and I jam a lot while we're still here. Arreis just came so I'm not entirely sure yet."

"Speaking of May..." Trent said in a serious tone. "What was the thing you talked about with her back in episode 1? You know, the deal?"

"Oh, that's just to scare her off. I didn't really thought of that deal anyway." Samuel shrugged. Trent got a feeling that he was lying but kept going with a different question anyway.

"So, what do you hate about your team?"

"I hate it how the others were being judgmental due to my performance. Of course, nobody's perfect so why go on ahead and judge others when you can't even point out the flaws of your own work?!" Samuel ranted, clearly referring to Sal out of all people, considering that he had good performances. Maybe Amanda too but she admitted a flaw to him, considering the fact that she was his roommate before he left.

"Lastly, who do you want to win Musical Impact?"

"I'd say Xavier. I can tell he seemed pretty quiet at first but you know, he grew up to be a better player now that he's got Mairead with him as well as Clayton. I do support their friendship."

"Okay!" Trent nodded. "Thanks for taking your time to have this interview! And by the way, you know where May is?"

"Honestly, I'm not sure. Try the girls' room." Samuel answered.

"Alright, thanks again!" Trent thanked him and he and Sierra left.

Meanwhile in the girls' room...

May just entered the room with a towel wrapped around her head. She was already in her sleepwear, as well as Arreis.

"Hey, Sierra and Trent were looking for you earlier. They were gonna interview you." Arreis told her.

"Really? Okay, I'll just wait here for them." May shrugged and sat on her bed.

Knock knock!

May went to the door and opened it, only to find Sierra with Trent holding the camera.

"Let me guess: Interview?" May snickered.

"Right you are." Sierra nodded. "You ready?"

"Yup! Let's have a seat on the couch." May motioned them to sit on the couch and sit they did.

"I'm gonna go grab myself a glass of water. See ya guys!" Arreis waved and left the room, leaving the three of them there.

"Okay May. How's your stay here in Crown Island?" Sierra asked.

"It's pretty good. I was bummed out when I first got here but when I saw Oli here, we talked about some stuff and got to know each other which is good. Then Samuel came. We had a bit of a fight but we got along and decided to do some performances. " May explained.

"I can see where you're going to." Sierra commented. "Tell us though, how come you despised Samuel upon meeting him in the game?"

"Well..." May looked a bit hesitant to answer but did so anyway. "I just hate the fact that he was Lucette, my sister's, ex-boyfriend. Then he starts hating me for 'being involved with it' in which clearly, I wasn't. I hate that fact."

"Can't say I blame you. That's what a lot of people go through anyway." Sierra patted her back. "Next question, what's your connection with Robert in the game?"

"I met him back in elementary. Fourth grade to be exact." May told her. "He bullied me because he knew I was... let's just say a part of some royalty. He doesn't like those kinds of people because they are always treated with an ample amount of respect. I guess that's why he despised me. But I retaliated and said some not so good stuff to him and I try to avoid him in the game. Maybe I should apologize to him for everything when he comes here."

"Aw, glad you're deciding to get back to him and be friends." Sierra nodded. "Who do you want to win in Musical Impact?"

"I'd say Clayton or Olivia." May answered. "He was a good teammate back when we were a part of the team Harmonious Heirs. Haven't seen him do his solo yet though. Olivia though, she's got this huge chance and I'm seeing her as a great friend. She was able to deal with Sal without breaking her relationship with him so I guess I can learn a lesson or two from her. We were able to watch the show here in this resort since the show usually comes up in 12:00 noon."

"Okay. Thanks for taking your time to interview. Can you tell the others to meet us in the pool in 10PM for an announcement?"

"Alright sure!" May nodded.

A few hours later, all six of them were in the pool.

"Alright so before we go, we'll have some different things that will happen in the next aftermath." Sierra said. "First, two other people will host it."

"So the hosts change every aftermath?" May asked.

"Yes." Trent nodded. "Second, in the next aftermath, you guys will have a mini-challenge since an aftermath happens every after four people are eliminated."

"We'll be eight in here then." Oli commented.

"Yeah. Wonder if we're still gonna be jamming as usual since we'll be a lot in here." Samuel said.

"Oh and after the second aftermath, we'll be one episode closer to merge!" Arreis nodded.

"Everyone will perform in the merge episode, so be prepared." Sierra told them. "Oh wait, it's getting late. I guess we'd better head back to Musimental Island."

"You sure you guys don't wanna stay here for the night?" Oli asked them. "Besides, there's plenty of beds haha!"

"I guess staying for the night wouldn't hurt..." Trent shrugged

With that, they all began to prepare for bed. Later, the six were now shown in one of the bedrooms dressed in their sleepwear.

"So this concludes our first aftermath episode!" Trent says.

'Next episode, we'll go back to the game and see what's what!" Sierra smiled. "We'll see you guys next time on..."

"Total!" The girls yelled.

"Drama!" The boys shouted.

"Musical Impact Aftermath!" They all screamed together but the tripod fell to the floor, as well as the camera.

"Shit!" Trent's voice can be heard right before the camera fades to black.

End episode.
