"We've reached the halfway point", said Cosmo. "And now it's time to meet the last ten campers."
The next camper to step off the ferry had a big head, and hair that looked like chocolate soft serve ice cream. He was wearing a red T-shirt with a yellow atom on it, and blue jeans.
"Hello Cosmo and Wanda," the boy said. "Thanks for letting me borrow you both when I ended up in your universe."
"Jimmy Neutron, even though you're not from our world, you're very welcome," said Wanda. "Now go ahead and meet the other campers, champ."
"Much obliged," said Jimmy as he walked over to the other campers.
Soon afterwards, a short gray heeler girl barged off the boat and started jumping around.
"Muffin!" smiled Cosmo. "It's so glad to see you here on the island!"
"My name is Bububabu!" she insisted as she tackled Cosmo. Wanda lifted her wand, which glowed, causing Muffin to lift off of Cosmo.
As Cosmo dusted himself off, he noticed a pair of orange wings inside the ferry.
"Look, there's a dragon!" he pointed onto the ramp as a purple and yellow dragon charged onto the dock.
"Hold your horns, here comes Spyro!" the dragon introduced himself.
Next in line was a portly girl with brown hair. She was wearing a red bow in her hair, a pink zippered jacket, and purple pants.
"Ddi you know that my great-great-great-great-great-grandparents were the first settlers on this island?"
"Staci, you can tell us more about your family later," said Cosmo. "I'm looking forward to hearing more stories!"
A short vulture with spiky hair flew out of the ferry and into the other campers. He was wearing a red soccer jersey with the number 9, and a pair of blue shorts.
"My name's Jason," he said. "How do you do?"
"Welcome to Camp Wawanakwa, Jason," said Wanda. "I'm sure you'll have fun on the island."
As Jason flew over to Discord, he immediately recognized him and started to panic. "Oh no, not you again!"
A teenage girl with red hair was the next to arrive. She was wearing a yellow sweater, a green skirt, and glasses. Her hair was kept in a bun.
"I had higher expectations of this island," she remarked. "Everyone here is either insane, too young, or just plain incompetent."
"I don't understand half of what you said," said Cosmo. "But welcome to the island, Scarlett."
Scarlett walked over to join the other campers.
Just then, a boy with black hair, wearing a red and white cap with a green symbol, white shirt, blue vest, blue jeans, and black and white shoes, stepped onto the dock. On his shoulder was a yellow mouse-like creature with red cheeks and pointed ears.
Howie started to look nervous.
"If it isn't Ash Ketchum and Pikachu," said Wanda. "Welcome to Camp Wawanakwa, champs."
"It's great to meet you all," said Ash.
"Pika pikachu!" agreed Pikachu.
Just then, a short pink pig wearing a red dress arrived.
"I'm Peppa Pig!" she snorted.
Just then, a young woman with brown hair in a ponytail, with a blue streak, stepped off the ferry. She snorted in anger. She was wearing a pink shirt with a blue vest, a yellow long-sleeve shirt underneath the pink shirt, a blue miniskirt, green leggings and pink boots.
"Fifi, welcome to Camp Wawanakwa!" said Cosmo and Wanda.
"YAY, COSMO AND WANDA!" said Fifi as she hugged the hosts. "I can't wait to get to the finale!"
"Can't... breathe..." Cosmo lifted his wand, as Fifi was teleported next to the other contestants.
Last but not least, the shortest contestant arrived. He was wearing a top hat, a cape, a black suit, a red and blue striped necktie, white gloves. He had short black hair, yellow eyes, purple eyelids, gray fur and sharp teeth.
Howie was starting to have a panic attack.
"Ratigan..." said Wanda under her breath. "I sure hope you don't seriously injure anyone this time."
The professor smiled as he strutted over to the end of the dock. "Of course not, Cosmo and Wanda," he faintly smiled. "I would never dare do such a thing."
"Now that we're all here," said Cosmo as he wished up a camera. "Let's all take a group picture!"
He held the camera in one hand as the campers all gave their best smiles. "Say cheese!"
The camera clicked, as a picture of all 20 campers and the fairy hosts developed.
Soon afterwards, each of the campers arrived at the campfire with their suitcases. They were all standing up, waiting to know their team placements.
"This is Camp Wawanakwa, your home for the next eight weeks," said Cosmo.
"The campers standing around you will be your teammates, your competition, or even your friends," said Wanda.
"Once we reach the halfway point," said Cosmo. "Everything becomes one on one."
"And whoever stays on the island the longest willl win the grand prize of..." said Wanda.
"TWO MILLION DOLLARS!" Cosmo chimed in.
Dora raised her hand.
"Excuse me," she said. "How are we going to sleep? Because I want to share a bed with HIM." She pointed at Caillou.
"Sorry, sprout," said Wanda. "The boys and girls will be sleeping separately."
"Excuse me Cosma," Lindsay raised her hand. "Can I have a cabin with the lake view since I'm the prettiest?"
"Aw, come on, guys!" said Fifi as she hugged Tyler and Chip. "It'll be fun."
"At least you don't have to sleep next to him," whispered Tyler, referring to Howie.
"First things first," said Cosmo. "When Wanda calls your name, you will sit down in the front row."
Wanda wished up a list of names, and she began to read each name.
"Spyro... Fluttershy... Jason... Lindsay... Ratigan... Staci... Ash... Fifi... Caillou..."
"And Dora!" Dora ran over and sat next to Caillou, as the best friends shook hands.
"You guys will be known as the Pink Parrots!" An emblem of a pink parrot showed up on the screen.
"Awesome," said Spyro as he held the team flag. "I'm a parrot!"
"Now it's my turn!" said Cosmo. "When I call your name, go ahead and sit in the back!" Wanda handed Cosmo the list, and he took his turn reading the names.
"Elena... Boris... Scarlett... Jimmy... Peppa... Tyler... Chip,... Howie... Muffin... and Discord!" As the campers took their seats in the back, they waited for Cosmo to announce the team name.
"Team 2, your team name will be... the Green Goats!" An emblem of a green goat showed up on the screen.
"Meeh, meeh!" Muffin imitated a goat. "I'm a goat!"
"Is everybody happy with their placements?" asked Wanda.
"At least I don't have to be on the same team as HIM," said Jason as he pointed a wing at Discord.
"At least I'm away from the big mice," sighed Howie, referring to Ash's Pikachu and Professor Ratigan.
"Metting adjourned," said Wanda. The campers got up, carrying their bags.
As Wanda and Cosmo guided the campers back to the cabins, they pointed to the outhouses along the trail.
"Wanda and I have poofed up these toilets all around the island," said Cosmo.
"What's so special about these outdoor dunnies?" asked Muffin.
CONFESSIONAL:
"This is the confessional room," said Wanda. "In here, the campers can let out their feelings about their time on Camp Wawanakwa."
"I thought this was a consession stand," said Cosmo, who was holding some popcorn and soda.
"Not consession, confession!" Wanda corrected him.
(STATIC)
A loon was putting some lipstick on its beak. The camera zoomed into the confused bird's face.
(STATIC)
Lindsay's back was facing towards the camera. "I don't get it. Where's the camera guy?" she wondered.
(STATIC)
"Did Howard just call me... a big mouse?" said Professor Ratigan, bewildered and slightly satisfied.
END OF CONFESSIONAL
"So where are we gonna sleep?" said Jason.
"My great-great-great uncle James invented log cabins," said Staci. "Before him, people had to sleep in the trees and they kept falling out all the time."
"And my great-great-great-great-great aunt Phyllis invented roofs," she continued. "And before her, houses were just walls and furniture, and every time it rained, you had to get a new sofa."
The campers arrived back at the cabins, as Wanda pointed at the flags.
The cabin on the left looked nice, and the cabin on the right was a worn-down log cabin.
"The Pink Parrots will be sleeping on the left," said Wanda. "And the Green Goats will be sleeping on the right."
"Alliteration," said Jimmy and Scarlett together. Everyone else looked confused except Ratigan and Discord.
"The colors and mascots start with the same letter," explained Ratigan.
"Excuse me," asked Fluttershy. "What's inside the fancy cabin?"
"You know, uh, fancy stuff like a massage room, a hot tub, and a fireplace," said Cosmo.
CONFESSIONAL:
"This cabin is much nicer than my apartment room," said Jason. "My parents made it completely empty when I moved to America, except for a bed, a wardrobe, and a desk with a chair."
In the Parrots' cabin, Fifi had somehow gone to the boys' dorm. She had a mischevious smile on her face.
"You're so smart," she told the professor. "I feel that."
"Shouldn't you be on the girls' side?" asked Ash.
Spyro charged into Fifi, sending her flying across the second floor, and into the girls' dorm.
"Where are the outlets?" asked Lindsay. "I have to plug in my straighening iron."
"There are some in the bathrooms," said Wanda, who was floating right next to her.
Outside the Goats' cabin, Jimmy and Scarlett were measuring the height of the doors, which were falling apart.
"80 by 36 inches," said Jimmy.
"Or 203 by 91 centimeters," added Scarlett. "That should be tall enough for Discord, who is at least a foot taller than me."
Just then, they heard an ear-piercing scream from the girls' dorm. Muffin and Peppa were panicking uncontrollably.
"AAH! AAH! HELP! HELP!" screamed Peppa. "THERE'S A SPIDER IN THE GIRLS' BEDROOM!"
"AAH! A SPIDER!" screamed Muffin. "GET IT OFF ME! IT'S GOING TO POISON ME!"
Boris and Elena immediately ran over to the spider.
"Oh my god," gasped Boris. "What seems to be the problem?"
"There's a spider in my bed!" yelled Muffin.
Elena walked over to one of the bunk beds and held her hand out to the spider, as it walked cautiously towards her.
"There there," she assured the spider. "If you bite anyone, you will be grounded."
"My mum and dad said that spider bites really hurt," said Muffin. "They told me to look out for redback and funnel-web spiders."
"What Muffin said is accurate," said Scarlett as she walked into the dorm. "However, very few deaths have been reported in Australia over the last several decades."
"Due to the development of antivenom, as well as proper treatment," added Jimmy.
For lunch, the campers were served a mystery meat.
"Excuse me," said Lindsay. "My nutritionist says I shouldn't eat any white sugar, white flour or, like, dairy."
"Did you know that my fifth cousin, three times removed, was the first chef?" said Staci. "Before then, people had to eat raw and non-processed foods."
Howie took a bite of the meat and immediately spit it out.
"Hey uh, Cosmo and Wanda," he said as he wiped his mouth. "Can I order a pizza instead? I can't eat this crap."
"Sorry champ," said Wanda. "Only the winning team will earn a special dinner."
Howie howled in disappointment.
"Aw, come on..." said Cosmo. "The food here is pretty good." He took a taste of the meat. "Mmm, pork."
CONFESSIONAL:
"There's a good reason why I don't eat pork," said Howie. "I'm half-Jewish, on my dad's side."
Later that afternoon, the campers sat together at the amphitheater, waiting for their first challenge.
"What do you think they'll make us do?" asked Caillou.
"It's our primer desafío," said Dora. "That's Spanish for 'first challenge'. How hard can it be?"
"Welcome to your first challenge," said Cosmo. "Which will be decided at random! Yay, randomness!" He lifted his wand and summoned a spinning wheel. "Let's go spinning! Whee!"
Cosmo and Wanda spun the wheel together. After a few seconds, the arrow stopped on the slot that said "Cliff diving".
"Put on your swimsuits, everyone," said Wanda. "We'll meet on top of the cliff in 30 minutes."
About 30 minutes later, the campers had gotten changed into their swimsuits and gathered on top of a giant cliff.
"Your first task is to jump off this 1,000 foot high cliff into the lake," said Wanda.
"Oh dear," said Fluttershy as she looked down from above.
