The cast were told to get settled into their new cabins, which have been renovated to be bigger and have more comfortable beds and more space for everyone to have their own little section.

"Ah, good to be back at my old my mini lab." Griff sighed as he sat down at the same desk he did experimenting at.

"I'll say sir!" Bradley went over as he set up a small folding table, "This cabin has so much room for work!" He pulls out some vials and beakers.

"So boy, what's your next big project?" Griff asks the boy apprentice.

"I'm working on a serum that will temporarily turn me into a fox!" Bradley smiled "My neighbor has five little fox pups, and they're just sooo cute!"

"Oh to be young and full of untouched childlike wonder." Griff sighed as he looked over a bile.

"So far this is what I got so far." Bradley drinks a sip of a mixture before he sees a tail shoot out. "I'm still working out some of the kinks." He wags his fox tail.

Brodie is scampering up to Dawson, who's doing pushups with his feet on his bed. "Hello, you must be Dawson."

"That's what it says on my application to the marines." Dawson said as he pushed his frame up.

"So manly." Brodie said, "You mind training me too?"

"Why?" Dawson turned his head.

"Oh you know, good for my health."

Brodie: Ladies like a guy with muscles, and I could use em. I lost a bet with my high school football team and I have to do this whole season with my mascot outfit on. And no respectable girl would wanna be with a tiny boy in a bee suit.

"Tell me fancy dressed human, what brings you to this recreational site for trashy reality entertainment?" Zeeb asks Lamont as they were next bed neighbors. "Is it the thrill of competition, the rush of new experiences, or the satisfaction when you crush ANYONE THAT GETS IN YOUR WAY!!!!!"

"Such ferocity and passion." Lamont admires Zeeb's intensity. "I mostly came here for the friends, see what new faces I can meet. The tomb of my community says it's always best to meet some you haven't seen before."

"A mighty nice testament." Zeeb replied, "Everyone in my hometown is basically the same brain dead hollow meat sack that buried themselves in their own mediocrity."

"Perhaps a change of scenery could be of use." Lamont handed Zeeb a flier, which got the purple life-form's interest up.

On the opposite side of them, Holden eyed Zeeb as Post beside him unpacked his suitcase. "Okay am I seriously the only one that notices that one of our cabin mates is an alien?" He asks.

"So I'm from Germany, why does that matter?" Brodie asks hurt as he was doing pushups beside Dawson.

"Not you, I'm talking about him." Holden points to Zeeb, who looked up from a book Lamont was reading him. "I mean look at him, purple skin? That's gotta raise some eyebrows."

"Oh that? Why tis nothing more than a mere skin condition." Zeeb explained as everyone in the cabin looked at him, "My uh... great grand maternal unit took some odd medicine from a questionable doctor in my home land of... Guam. And it's been passed down through the generations."

"And does the condition also lose yah your ears and nose?" Holden grilled the cabin mate.

Zeeb turned away with his hands clasped, "Yes."

"Let him go my child." Lamont told Holden, "He may look different but he's no less human than anyone here, and I suggest you refrain from making more comments of that nature."

"But-"

"He's right man." Post patter Holden's shoulder, "We cannot judge anyone based solely because they look not like you, a thing no side of the spectrum is innocent of." He sighed, "Now let's head to the mess hall for lunch, DJ is starting the season off with a big feast." He said as he led the rest of the boys out the cabin towards the mess hall.

Holden sighed despondently.

Holden: Now, I know I may have a reputation for jumping the gun when it comes to calling out Bigfoot and ghosts and all that, but Mr. Banister was extremely hairy! But I'm getting off topic, I know that Zeeb is not of this Earth. What he's here for I don't know, looks like I have a new mystery at hand.

Zeeb: Phase 3 of Operation: Reality of DOOOOOOM is in progress. I have established a profitable bond with the human known as Lamont, he sees my skills and abilities for the pure marvel that they are! The other males seem to be quite useful to me, however the specimen known as Holden appears to be a major annoyance. I have a feeling he may already be suspicious, but never fear as my INGLORIOUS brain will find a way to quell this potential problem.

Meanwhile in the cabin opposite the lake, the girls were all unpacking their luggage.

"Ah, feels like old times." Rose said as she laid down on her old bed, which have been left without a bedspring and sheets. Just how she likes it.

"I know, so many memories from this place." Linka said as she pulled out her father's mask, "I found out about my family."

"You doing okay?" Rose asks her fellow veteran.

"I'll be good, thanks for asking." Linka asks her blind roommate. "How're things going with you and Roman?"

"Oh, we've been doing fine." Rose said as she hung her head off the bed. "We enrolled the boys in a nice school, pays to be the runaway daughter of an aristocrat."

"I thought you hated using your parents' money since you wanted to distance yourself from them." Linka said.

"Well, when you have yourself a family to look after. Sometimes you just gotta do things that you don't particularly like." Rose sighed.

Maria giggled as she hid underneath her bed as Karen walked over and sat down.

PLLFFT

Karen deadpanned as Maria cackled, the barista pulled a Whoopee cushion from under her. "Really? A whoopee cushion?"

"Don't discount the classics, they're a 'gas'!" Maria laughed, "First rule of comedy, never show your hand right away."

"I thought the first rule was repetition kills the joke." Karen remarked.

"True, doing the same thing constantly will get old. But the best running gags are all about timing and circumstance." Maria said, "Take this bowl of nachos for instance, try one." She offers Karen with a grin.

"I'm not eating those they smell weird." Karen shook her head.

"Really?" Maria sniffs the nachos before Karen pushes the cheesy chips into Maria's face. "Well played my friend." She told the barista.

Ursula was reading from a book as Zandy hopped onto the bed beside her, "Well ruffle me feathers, I recognize a face like yours."

"Yeah, I pole danced with my sister Uma." Ursula sighed, "We may be twins but I assure you I'm not as promiscuous as her."

"I was gonna say you're that girl from the interwebs, the one that kept her hand in a Brazilian fire-ant glove for 30 mins without squealing like a porker with a splinter." Zandy said.

"Oh yeah, I forgot I did that on a family trip to Rio." Ursula said.

"Last time I did the same thing with Texas Scorpions, my hand resembled a boxing glove." Zandy said, "How did you manage?"

"I don't know, all the little pricks just didn't hurt me as much. Just gave me a little tingly sensation that... anyway, cool entrance you did on the horse." Ursula changed the subject.

"Why thank you, I took 2nd place in the Jr Texico Equestrian championship tournament." Zandy said.

With the last two girls in the cabin, Skarla and Syd were sharing their scientific knowledge. "So you built a fully functioning washing machine when you were 5 that can wash 6 different loads at once in one rotation?" Skarla wondered, to which Syd held up 4 fingers. "Oh 4."

Syd then gave Skarla a question mark with a beaker on her holo-watch.

"Oh, what do I do? Well I'm studying glaciology, but I work part time at a novelty ice cream shop that turns food into ice cream." Skarla pulls a small tub out of her cooler bag, "Try this pizza flavored ice cream, I need a second opinion."

Syd looks at Skarla incredulously before taking a bite, she then coughed and gagged at the taste.

Skarla takes a lick herself and shivers, "Note to self, go lighter on the anchovies."

After all the contestants got settled in, they walked to the mess hall where returning camp counselors DJ and Katie awaited them. "HIIII GUYS!" Katie waved, "It's so cooooool to be back!"

"A pleasure to be reacquainted Katherine!" Griff shook her hand.

"And to celebrate the new season, me and DJ have prepared an all you can eat pizza buffet!" Katie presented a large array of handmade pizza, dough tossed by DJ with sauce handmade by the culinarily trained Total Drama veteran, and cheese freshly shredded. The cast all grabbed slices to their pizza preference. Some simple with pepperoni and mushrooms, others grabbed slices with pineapple on them.

As soon as every cast member had a plate, Greg then walked in "Hello campers!" He announced as everyone turned to the host. "Great to see some new faces to our little family, along with a few returning faces. As you've seen, DJ and Katie have returned as the season's chef and nurse respectively."

"Hi Nurse Katie!" Brodie waved.

"Hi Brodie!" Katie waved.

"While you guys enjoy your first day pizza lunch, Imma tell you about this new season. As you all know, the last player standing at the end of this season will be rewarded with a cash prize of 5 million dollars. But getting there will be quite the journey, to make the journey easier for one of you. Hidden somewhere in the campgrounds is the Diamond Lake immunity idol." Greg showed them a picture of an Aztec medallion.

Zeeb: Oooooo, an idol that guarantees my safety? It shall be MIIIIIIIIIIIINE!

Rose: These young bloods are gonna look so dumb when the blind girl finds the idol.

Dawson: Idols are for the weak.

"So be on the lookout for this or anything else you may find hidden within a 10 mile radius." Greg said. "Everyone enjoy your pizza, and meet me by the lake at 1900 in your swimsuits for our first challenge of the new season where we will determine the teams for Diamond Lake Season 2."
