We don't own Total Drama, only our OC's.
Time for the first aftermath! Let's get to it!
Revolting Raccoons: Fernando, Butch, Lin, Lucille, David, Ilyria, Eddy, Byron, Brittany, Juliette, and Dante
Oblivious Owls: Lila, Tracy, Christopher, Spikke, Brad, Dianne, Matthew, Mackenzie, and Tatiana
"Sorry, Adam, the team has spoken. You'll be taking the Bus of Losers!" Chris announced.
"You're all like Darth Vader! I hope you all rot!" Adam glared at his team, before boarding the Bus of Losers.
"Welp, you're all dismissed. For now," Chris said.
Antonio's phone rang. He apologized, and answered it. His eyes widened in shock as happy tears were seen in his eyes before ending the call. "Good news, everyone! You guys are not gonna believe this!"
"What is it?" Juliette asked.
"Christina's pregnant!" Antonio exclaimed. "I'm gonna be a father!"
If Butch and Eddy were drinking anything, they would have done a spit take at the sudden revelation. Lin and David's eyes widened in shock while Dante's jaw dropped.
"Oh my God! Congratulations!" Ilyria let out.
"But wait…" Lucille spoke up. "How? I mean, you're here…"
Antonio laughed gently. "We did a lot of you-know-what after our marriage, and before I got the call to come back."
"That's a little T-M-I, for my taste. But hey, you do you." Lin shrugged.
"Which is why I'll be quitting the show. I have to be by my wife's side throughout her pregnancy," Antonio said.
"We're gonna miss you," Juliette said.
"I'm gonna miss you all too," Antonio responded.
"Please promise you'll show pictures of your baby when they're born!" Lucille pleaded.
"If you all really want me to," Antonio looked at his teammates.
"Yeah, they'd be really cool to see!" Dante added.
Alexis would soon come into the room. "Okay, Raccoons. It's time for you to go to the ceremony."
"I have to talk to you and Chris," Antonio said.
"Fine. You can talk to us at the ceremony," the young chef responded.
The team would be sitting on little benches in the horse arena, which had been cleared of the hurdles and standees. Alexis and Antonio went over to Chris, and the three went off to the side for a moment to talk. Then, Chris turned to the remaining Raccoons.
"Antonio has just told me the news, and with that, he will be leaving the competition. Raccoons, please take some time to say your goodbyes to Antonio before he boards the Bus of Losers."
"Well you definitely know how to make an exit." Eddy chuckled, giving Antonio a fist bump.
"Thanks," Antonio smiled as he returned the fist bump.
"Not the way I expected someone to be taken out of the game." Lin noted. "But I'm happy for you, congrats to you and Christina."
"Thanks," Antonio responded. "I can't wait."
"I bet," Juliette said. "It must be exciting."
Antonio nodded. "Well, I guess I'd better grab my stuff from the coach bus."
The pro soccer player would go to grab his luggage from the coach bus, which would be waiting for both teams to climb aboard to get to their accommodations for the night. Once he did, he would get onto the Bus of Losers, and waved as it drove off.
"NO!" Spikke let out, upset. "You guys are all sick in the head to vote for my girlfriend!"
Much of the Owls looked guilty or tried to avert their eyes from the glare that the rapper was giving them.
"I will make sure you all pay for eliminating my princess," Spikke growled. Tatiana and Brad raised an eyebrow at the comment, but before Spikke could say anything else, he felt a hug from behind.
"Hey, don't worry about it. We both knew that both of us couldn't win." Shauna said with a sigh.
"This stinks. I wish we had more time together," Spikke frowned.
"I know, but these things happen. I know you'll do your best!"
"What did I ever do to deserve someone as amazing as you?" Spikke asked, trying not to cry.
"Sign up for Total Drama." Shauna laughed before letting go of her boyfriend and, surprisingly, giving Lila a hug. "Hey, even if everyone doesn't like you much, I still think you're not bad. Good luck!"
"Shauna, go ahead and pack your things, and head to the Bus of Losers," Chris said.
"Bye you guys! Good luck!" The dancer cheered before heading off.
Spikke gave a final glare to his team, before storming off.
The rapper would turn to Trish, giving her a hug. "Sorry it had to end this way."
"Well, it's not all bad. I mean, it was still fun for what it was." Trish sighed. "Good luck everyone! I'll be sure to give you all some free samples of my company's merchandise and products!" Trish winked.
"I don't think neon purple's my color." Brad commented.
"Trish, grab your stuff from the coach bus, and board the Bus of Losers," Chris instructed. "The rest of you, you're dismissed."
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine,
You guys are on my mind.
You asked me what I wanted to be
and now I think the answer is plain to see,
I wanna be famous.
I wanna live close to the sun,
Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won,
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
I'll get there one day.
Cause, I wanna be famous!
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na! (as can be heard in the background)
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
(Whistling in tune)
Episode 6: Aftermath One
The cameras would open up to the famous aftermath studio, where a man would be sitting on the couch. He had dark brown hair which was slicked back with some hair gel, and green eyes, standing at around 5 '12, and weighed around 120 pounds. The man wore a buttoned down blue shirt, with a dark blue bowtie, navy blue pants, white socks, and black dress shoes.
"And we're live, in three, two, one!" a cameraman announced.
"Good evening, and welcome to the Total Drama Canadian Travels Aftermath! My name's William Matthews, and if you think the last name is familiar, then yes, my little sister is actually competing on the show! However, you can call me Bill, if you all want to," the man smiled. "Today, we're joined by the alumni who haven't been selected for the new season! First up, let's say hello to movie star, Miguel!"
The Spanish movie star grinned, waving to the audience. Nothing much had changed about him. The audience screamed loudly, some of them holding up signs saying 'Miguel & Trish 4EVER!'
"Hola, everyone! It's wonderful to be here!" Miguel smiled.
"Next up, let's say hello to Rebekah, our tomboy slash aspiring police officer!"
Rebekah would wave to the audience, this time, wearing a police uniform. "What's up, everyone?"
"Up next, we've got our rich girl, who stood up to her mother, Miss Abigail Phillippa Prior-Chauncey the Fourth!" Bill smiled.
"Hi everyone!" Abigail smiled, waving to the camera. She wore the same outfit as the previous season, but had added a pretty white sweater to her outfit.
"I'm shocked this next guy was released on 'good behaviour', but here's hoping he won't take over the show again. It's Demetrius!"
Boos were heard when the camera panned to Demetrius, who scowled, giving the middle finger, which was censored. His appearance had changed from the orange prison uniform, to a simple shirt, jeans, white socks, and white running shoes. "I hate you all."
"Let's move on to our next introduction! Give a warm welcome to our soldier, Walter!" Bill announced. The soldier gave Demetrius a hard glare before giving the audience a warm smile and a salute. Overall, he looked the same as he did in the previous season, though now he wore an olive uniform that had various patches on it with dress shoes.
"Alrighty, let's say hello to the first boot of last season, it's Terra!" Bill announced with a smile. The audience turned to look at the peanut gallery only to find the spot where Terra was sitting before going on air was now empty.
"Uh…Terra?" Bill was confused, his confusion only rose when a mysterious sock puppet rose up to his right shoulder. The puppet looked almost exactly like Terra, albeit in sock form.
"Hewwo!" The clown greeted.
"Please get back to your seat," Bill deadpanned.
"Ah, you're no fun…" Terra groaned. She looked just like she did last season, though she no longer wore her contacts, revealing her sky blue eyes.
"Up next, we've got Jerusha!" Bill announced.
"Good to see you all again!" The macabre magician greeted, wearing a modified version of her previous outfit, with her usual suit now having black frills around her wrists and ankles. She now wore facepaint that made her look somewhat like a pale-white zombie with blood red eyes.
"And now, the moment you've all been waiting for. Let's give a big, warm welcome to last season's champion, JOSEPH!" Bill announced.
The cheers would be loud for the tribal man as he walked onto the stage. Just like some of the others, he also looked a bit different. He now wore a dark green dress shirt, black slacks and dress shoes. He had grown out his facial hair a bit more as well. The young man smiled for a moment before returning to the stoic confidence he normally had as he took his seat.
"Okay! Before we get started with interviewing the first four eliminations, I've got some questions for you, and that's your opinion on the 12 newbies who are competing on the show! Answer honestly!" Bill warned. "First off, let's start with Juliette! Joseph, we'll start with you, and then we'll go around with the rest of you."
"Definitely seeing some interesting things." The former champ began. "Some of them look like they have a good chance of winning the whole thing while others look like they won't last much longer."
"But what's your take on Juliette? Do you think she'll last long?" Bill asked.
"She hasn't done anything that I can acknowledge yet. I can't see her making it past the merge, at most."
"Alright, thanks, Joseph. Jerusha, you're next," Bill smiled as politely as he could, clearly unnerved by the girl's facepaint.
"Hard to really say, the game did basically just start, after all. But there's some stiff competition so I don't know where she'll end up, but if she's getting on Butch's good side then he can definitely help her."
"Okay, thank you for your input. Abigail?"
"I think she's really sweet. And I also think she and Butch might be a perfect match for one another!" the girl smiled.
"Demetrius?"
"She's a dumb blonde, simple as that," the criminal hissed.
"How dare you!" Rebekah glared at the criminal. "As for me, I grew up in Paris during my high school years, and my dad enrolled me and my siblings in the elite De Sauveterre Academy. That was where I met Juliette, her sisters, and her cousin. I think she has a pretty good chance of winning," the tomboy said.
"Okay, thank you. Terra?" Bill asked.
"Are you really sure you want Terra's input?" Walter asked.
"Yes. I do," Bill responded. "It's part of the job."
"Well, I'll be honest." The clown said. "I guarantee you that she'll turn Butch into a man by the time the show's over!"
"Wise words. Walter?" Bill turned to the soldier.
"Somehow I knew she would say something like that…" Walter sighed. "Still, I think she has potential. Surely if she sees something in Butch then she has a good eye, and as a team they could go far in the game."
"I think she's pretty cool," Miguel smiled when the aftermath host turned to him. "I've been to Paris before, and it's nothing like Spain. Who knows? Maybe we're looking at the next champion."
"Okay, let's move on to the next newbie, and that's Lila! Joseph, start us off!" Bill exclaimed.
"Hmm, at first I thought she would be sort of an easy target. Someone everyone would just forget about and vote off early. But now that she's in an alliance with Brad and Tatiana, even I don't know what could happen. I just know that it could mean trouble for everyone that isn't ready to deal with them."
"Demetrius?"
"She seems…interesting. I thought she might be dumped early, but nope. I really don't think she'll win," the criminal said simply.
"Jerusha?"
"Honestly, I don't trust her. Both in the game and around Christopher."
"Rebekah?"
"Honestly? I feel the same way Jerusha is. I don't trust her, especially since she's in an alliance with two strong players. I think they might dump her later on."
"Walter?"
"I'm more fascinated by the alliance she's in rather than Lila herself."
"Miguel?"
"It's hard to say, Bill," the movie star let out. "I think she might be a post-merge boot, but I don't know."
"Terra?"
"I love her hair!" The clown cheered.
"Abigail?"
"It's really hard, at first glance. I mean, she seems…so…perfect, in a sense," the rich girl let out. "Nice hair, no blemishes, totally nice… maybe a bit too nice and I think that's why everyone's so wary around her."
"Time to move on to the third newbie, and that's Adam! Joseph, your thoughts?" Bill asked.
"Hopeless." Joseph replied flatly. "He was an obvious first boot."
"Demetrius?"
"A brainless idiot," the criminal hissed.
"Terra?"
"A dork." Terra said with shocking seriousness. "Besides, Star Trek is better. Not much better, but better."
"You'd better not let him hear you say that," Bill deadpanned. "Rebekah?"
"For once, I agree with Demetrius. He's a brainless idiot."
"Walter?"
"If he had simply focused on the game he would not have been the first one eliminated, simple as that."
"Abigail?"
"He's really annoying," the girl groaned. "Watching the first two episodes were a pain, especially since he kept ranting on and on about Star Wars."
"Jerusha?"
"I can respect the spectacle of his passion, but I just don't get why he's so obsessed with that series. Hasn't it fallen off in terms of quality recently?"
"Miguel?"
"He's like one of the crazy stalker fans I had to deal with when I first started out," the movie star sighed. "I'm glad I've got good bodyguards around."
"Let's kill two birds with one stone, and hear your thoughts on the twins, Matthew and Mackenzie!" Bill exclaimed. "Joseph?"
"We haven't seen much from them yet, not sure what they can really do."
"Demetrius?"
"They seem cool," the criminal responded simply. "That's all I'm gonna say."
"Walter?"
"While I hate to say that I share the same opinion as this venomous snake, I'm inclined to agree, those two seem like good people and competitors."
"Rebekah?"
"I've followed both of their channels, more in particular, Mackenzie. I think they both have a good chance. Maybe Mackenzie might warm Fernando's heart."
"Terra?"
"I wonder if they would consider collabing with me…"
"Jerusha?"
"I can respect fellow performers, we all have to start somewhere!"
"Abigail?"
"I think they seem sweet. Especially Matthew, with his crush on Alexis. Maybe they might end up together."
"Miguel?"
"I like them both," he said.
"Alright, next up, let's hear your thoughts on David! Joseph, since he's your cousin, I'm sure you have a LOT you want to say about him?" Bill asked.
"Not really. He's my cousin, so I know he has a lot of potential, but that doesn't mean I know what he's thinking or feeling about the competition. From what I'm seeing so far, he's doing alright, it's his teammates that I'm more worried about, specifically Byron and how he could make him lose focus on the game."
"I really don't think Byron would do that," Rebekah let out. "Honestly, I think they're a perfect match for one another, which is shocking, considering who Byron's related to. But I can respect a good photographer when I see one."
"Walter?"
"He's a relative of last season's winner so I expect good things out of him."
"Abigail?"
"He seems pretty cool," Abigail smiled.
"Terra?"
"If he plays his cards right, his game could be picture perfect!"
"Jerusha?"
"Well, he is Joseph's cousin so he has to have that family muscle in him somewhere, right? I think we just need to wait and see him pull that out."
"Miguel?"
"He reminds me of one of the paparazzi I've had to deal with. Not a super creepy one, but a nice one," the movie star replied.
"Demetrius?"
"I don't want to say anything mean, considering the champ is here…" Demetrius began, "so I'm gonna say that he's cool, and deserves to be the cousin of the champ."
"Okay, let's hear your thoughts on Brad! Joseph? What do you think?"
Joseph leaned forward in his seat with a focused look on his face. For a moment he was silent, as if collecting his thoughts. "He's interesting. He has a plan for the game, clearly, but it's a matter of what that plan is and if he can pull it off."
"Abigail?"
"I think he has a chance to win, but I'm not sure," the rich girl replied.
"Terra?" Just like Joseph, she looked uncharacteristically serious.
"I don't know. He's smart, I mean so are some of the others, but I think we all need to watch him really closely."
"I see. Now, let's move on. Jerusha!" Bill exclaimed. "What are your thoughts on Brad?"
"He's a tricky one, that's for sure. Not entirely sure what to make of him." The macabre magician shrugged.
"Demetrius?"
"He's serious. Not a future winner, but maybe merge," the criminal let out.
"Walter?"
"It would be dishonest of me to say that I'm not interested in what he has planned. I think he's a competitor the others should look out for."
"Miguel?"
"He seems cool," the movie star said. "I wonder how far he'll go."
"Rebekah?"
"Tricky," the tomboy let out. "I think he might go all the way, but I'm not sure."
"Okay, next up is my little sis, Dianne! What are your initial thoughts on her? Despite the fact that she did beat stage four cancer…." Bill let out. "Joseph?"
"When it comes to the game, I'm not sure yet. But she might have to expect some trouble soon with Lin after what we saw in the last episode. And if there's anything I know about Lin, she can be dangerous as an enemy." The Tribal Chief explained.
"Okay, Demetrius?"
"I find it crazy that a man like McLean had a freaking cancer survivor come on the show. Hasn't she suffered enough?" the criminal hissed.
"Terra?"
"If Lin doesn't like her, then I don't like her. Simple as that."
"Abigail?"
"Gosh, now I feel bad for Lin," she began. "But I find her super sweet, and her voice! That was stunning! I just loved how she covered that Bishop Briggs song."
"Walter?"
"I worry about the can of worms she may have opened, but in terms of the game, I think she's doing fine."
"Jerusha?"
"I may get some flak for this, but I'm interested to see where the drama with her, Eddy and Lin goes."
"Interesting thoughts. Rebekah?"
"She's a badass. The way she covered that Bishop Briggs song was on fire!" the tomboy exclaimed.
"Miguel?"
"I met her once when she was in the hospital. She was so kind, and wasn't like some of my fans, who ask me to sign their chests, or other…intimate areas," the movie star let out.
"Next up, let's go with Tatiana! Joseph?"
"I'm just going to try and ignore what Miguel mentioned at the end there. As for Tatiana, she's another interesting case. I like her attitude, and I'll be keeping a close eye on her going forward."
"TMI, Miguel," Abigail sighed.
"Sorry, but as a movie star, you do have to deal with some crazies," he let out.
"Okay, Rebekah?"
"She seems like a future winner. I'm not too sure, but considering that she's in an alliance with Brad and Lila, I sense that they'll be causing some trouble."
"Demetrius?"
"Blunt. Too blunt," the criminal let out.
"Walter?"
"Much like Joseph, I do like her attitude. Sometimes you have to be blunt in order to get your point across. I can see her going far."
"Abigail?"
"Honestly, she scares me a little," the rich girl said.
"Jerusha?"
"I hope he doesn't get mad at me for this, but she kind of reminds me of Joseph in a way."
"Ah, interesting," the aftermath host let out. "Terra?"
"She's like a weird fusion of Joseph and Lin, sort of. I don't know, it made more sense in my head."
"Fair. Miguel?"
"She's cool," the movie star said.
"Okay! Let's move on. Next up, let's hear your thoughts on Byron! Joseph?"
"He's attracted to my cousin. I'm inclined to hope they end up happy together, but with him being so forward, I'm not sure."
"Walter?"
"His family history paints a negative connotation but I believe he's done well to separate him with his cousin. At least for the most part."
"Demetrius?"
"He may be too forward with David, but at least he's not obsessed unlike his cousin," the criminal let out simply. "She was way too crazy."
"Terra?"
"He's shooting his shot, can't blame him for that." She shrugged.
"Abigail?"
"I still cannot believe he's Sierra's cousin. I'd thought she'd have someone exactly like her in personality wise as her cousin," the rich girl said.
"Jerusha?"
"I think everyone's not giving him enough credit. Give him some time and I think he'll dazzle everyone!"
"Miguel?"
"I hate that I have to agree with the criminal, but considering his cousin, he might do okay," the movie star said.
"Rebekah?"
"He's cool."
"Okay, next up on our list…Eddy! Joseph?"
"He seems like he could be a good player, but with the drama about to unfold surrounding him, we'll have to see."
"Jerusha?"
"Shorty's gonna have a storm coming his way!"
"Abigail?"
"I have to agree with Jerusha. There's a storm brewing, and it's not looking good."
"Walter?"
"I thought he looked familiar when I first saw him, and as fate would have it. His older brother was trained by my father. That has nothing to do with him, but I just found that interesting. As for Eddy himself, I believe he should be interesting to watch as a contestant, but with his upcoming issues, I do worry about him."
"Demetrius?"
"He seems…interesting. That's all I'm gonna say."
"Terra?"
"He better hope Lin forgives him, because if she don't, I don't!"
"Miguel?"
"He seems interesting," the movie star said. "But honestly, I think he's gonna do well in the competition."
"Rebekah?"
"Short, but serious," the tomboy said.
"Last but not least, it's Tracy!" Bill exclaimed. "Joseph, what are your thoughts on her?"
"She's naive, but she's tough. If she can manage to stick to her guns then she can go far."
"Demetrius?"
"She's way too innocent for my liking. Honestly, I hope she crumbles early."
"Jerusha?"
"She seems like a nice girl, but I'm actually a bit worried about how harsh this game might be to her."
"Abigail?"
"I actually have to agree with Jerusha," the rich girl said.
"Walter?"
"She seems like a strong girl, but much like some of the others have said, I worry about how this game might affect her mentally."
"Terra?"
"She seems like a fun girl, not as fun as me, but fun!"
"Miguel?"
"She seems innocent about everything around her, but I hope she won't become like Ezekiel," the movie star said.
"Rebekah?"
"She's actually really cool," the tomboy said.
"Alrighty! Thanks for that, everyone! Let's get started with the first four eliminations, and welcome Adam to the stage!"
Some applause would be heard as Adam would march out, wearing a Stormtrooper's outfit, complete with the helmet. The Imperial theme from Star Wars would be playing in the background.
"Good grief…" Demetrius groaned.
Adam took off the helmet, revealing his red hair.
"So, you were the first boot, and you annoyed your team with your love of Star Wars. Why?" Bill asked.
Adam sighed. "Well, I'll tell you. My passion for Star Wars is only to help me cope with the fact of my parents dying at the hands of an impaired driver, with my younger sister in the back. She was the only survivor."
"Oh my god…" Rebekah was wide-eyed.
"It's been hard, especially on Alexandra. But she's got my best friend by her side as her loving boyfriend, and I have my girlfriend, so I'm okay," Adam continued.
"Alumni, do you have any questions for Adam?" Bill asked.
"I don't," Demetrius said bluntly. "I'm not sure about the others."
"Why not just be straightforward and tell us about the reason behind your obsession from the start? While you may not have known many of the veterans here for very long, some of them would have been willing to hear you out. Lucille would have, for example." Joseph asked.
"I was afraid that most of you would still hate me even after I admitted the truth," Adam responded.
"I know what you mean." Terra piped up, resuming her more serious tone as the hollow look she once wore returned.
"Anyone else?" Bill asked.
"Not really a question." Terra continued, a sly grin growing on her face. "But I'm just going to say it: Star Trek is better."
Adam glared at her. "You're like the female version of Darth Vader!"
"Okay, thank you, Adam. Go ahead and join the peanut gallery. Next up, we've got Antonio, who quit after hearing some shocking news!"
Antonio would come out, hand-in-hand with his wife, Christina, who had a visible baby bump starting to show around her belly. Loud cheers would be heard from the audience.
"Antonio, Christina, welcome, and first off, let me congratulate you both on your new addition!" Bill exclaimed.
"Thanks, Bill, it's our first child, and we're over the moon!" Antonio smiled.
"Now, tell us, what was your initial thought of coming back to the show?"
"Honestly, I was debating, but Christina said she had to go and do some filming, and encouraged me to go for it," the soccer player replied.
"And I got the news not long after I began filming. I was so excited, and I had to tell Antonio right away," Christina said.
"Alumni, do you have any questions or advice for the soon-to-be-parents?" Bill asked.
"First off, congratulations!" Abigail exclaimed. "Honestly, my advice is to love your child, and not push too many expectations onto them."
"We'll take that into consideration," Antonio smiled.
"Congrats," Demetrius said simply.
"Do you know what you guys are having?" Rebekah asked.
"It's a bit too early to tell, but honestly, I'll be happy if it's a boy, or a girl," Antonio said. "I'm not too picky."
"Me neither," Christina smiled.
"Anyone else?" Bill asked.
"Nah, I think we're good." Joseph replied.
"Alrighty, you two can go ahead and join the peanut gallery. Next up is Shauna!" Bill announced.
The dancer waved politely to the audience as she went to take her place on the hot seat once again.
"Welcome to the show, Shauna. Tell us, how do you feel about your elimination?"
"Well, I definitely wasn't expecting it to happen so soon. I was hoping to go further than I did last time but I guess it wasn't meant to be." The dancer sighed.
"Are you mad at your team for your elimination?"
"Not really. I mean, I get being voted off for having the lowest score from the judges, but being the first target of that alliance between Brad, Tatiana and Lila totally blindsided me! I wouldn't say I hold it against them, but I was just, like, stunned that it happened."
"What do you think of your boyfriend's reaction to your elimination? He seemed pretty pissed," Bill raised an eyebrow.
"I think it's sweet that he's so upset about me leaving, but at the same time I'm really worried about him now. When he gets mad, he tends to stop thinking as clearly as he should."
"Alumni, do you have any questions for Shauna?"
"What do you think Spikke will do now that you've been eliminated?" Walter asked.
"I don't know." Shauna sighed. "Like I said, he tends to shoot first and then ask questions second when he gets mad. What I'm worried about is that he'll end up frustrating his team or hurting someone."
"Anyone else?" Bill asked. "No? Okay, thank you, Shauna. You can head to the peanut gallery. Our last guest will be my co-host, starting from the next aftermath, let's give it up for Trish!"
The posh business woman stepped onto the stage, talking on the phone with someone again.
"Look, we need to sign the deal with this company, and if it means you need to stay up for the whole week signing papers, then get it done!"
"Okay then…" Bill blinked. "If you can finish your phone call at a private time, then we can get started with your interview."
"Sorry, sorry!" Trish smiled. "Sometimes I just get so busy with work that it cuts into other stuff. Honestly, I'm surprised it's not the reason I lost."
"What are your thoughts after your elimination? Are you bitter towards your former teammates?"
"Not at all, like I said, I figured my work would be the reason I lost, and because of that I thought I'd be out first! They had their reasons, and I never really needed the money anyway. I came back because I wanted to have fun competing again!"
"You also developed a good friendship with Tracy, and my little sister. Talk to us about that," Bill smiled.
"Well it was a lot of fun teaching Tracy about city life, but I'm kind of worried about what'll happen to her now that I'm not in the game. As for Dianne, we didn't talk too much, what with everything and everyone in the game. But she was fun to talk to, and I'm looking forward to seeing her again."
"Alumni, do you have any questions for Trish?"
"I do. Why are you so obsessed with neon purple cheetah print? It's ungodly horrible," Demetrius hissed like a feral cat. "It doesn't go well with anything!"
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK YOU TRASH BAG WEARING, SAGGY-FACED, FLEA-BAG!" Trish spat, her face contorting into one that almost made her look demonic.
"Nope," Demetrius leaned back, smirking and crossing his arms. "It's the truth."
"Fine." Trish replied, sounding eerily calm as she looked over at the criminal. "Terra…"
"I'm on it!" The clown replied, cracking her knuckles.
"Oh for the love of god…" Demetrius groaned. "I was speaking the truth!"
"You were speaking your truth. That doesn't make it true for everyone, my dear idiot." Terra stated, taking out a rubber glove from her pocket and smacking Demetrius across the face with it.
"Oooh!" the crowd let out.
Demetrius scowled, turning back to the clown. "I'm NOT gonna do anything illegal to you. I don't WANT to go back to jail again."
"Don't forget…" Terra began. "I'M the one who gave you permission to go free! I'M also your parole officer. The organization has given me permission to place you back into custody if there is even a hint of you trying anything or saying anything out of line. So I will be watching you like a falcon."
"I don't intend on breaking parole," Demetrius hissed. "Unless you get on my bad side."
"You really, really want us to play paddleball again, don't you…" The clown sighed, shaking her head.
"I hated it. As much as I hated pickleball," the criminal huffed. "Way. Too. Competitive."
"I don't even want to know…" Walter stated.
"Mother of mercy…" Bill let out. "This is getting intense, don't you think?"
"That's Total Drama for you." Trish sighed. "Anyway, neon purple cheetah print is a nice design and anyone who disagrees is wrong. End of story. Moving right along…!" Trish motioned for Bill to continue on with the show.
"Right, right," Bill nodded. "Now, alumni, if you could travel anywhere in Canada, where would you travel to, and why?"
"I'd love to visit Niagara Falls," Abigail smiled. "I heard that it's beautiful, especially at night!"
"It does seem nice," Bill smiled. "Jerusha?"
"Hmm… I hear Victoria's Street over in Newfoundland and Labrador is supposed to be super spooky, which is right up my alley!"
"Joseph, a little bird told me that you were able to take your family, and Lucille's family to Toronto, where you got to partake in a Toronto Blue Jays baseball game! I'm sure your younger siblings enjoyed running the bases, am I right? Would you like to go back to Toronto, or somewhere else in Canada?" Bill asked.
"I threw the first pitch in that game but that was about it, my brothers had fun though. Toronto was nice but I'd like to explore the rest of Canada on my own. Personally though, I much prefer warmer places like California and my home in Hawaii."
"Walter? How about you?"
"Well, you all should know me by now, I would love to visit all of the military bases and historical landmarks in Canada." The soldier shrugged, smiling proudly.
"Rebekah?"
The tomboy hummed for a moment, thinking of her answer. "Prince Edward Island. It seems awesome."
"Good choice!" Bill smiled. "Demetrius?"
"Toronto. The EdgeWalk would seem cool to do," the criminal said simply.
"Miguel?"
"While I hate the idiotic stupid snake, I have to agree with him. Doing the EdgeWalk sounds so fun."
"There is an urban legend near Niagara Falls," Abigail glanced at Walter. "I know the story pretty well."
"Well, you can tell us all the story after we finish going around with the answers to this question," Bill smiled. "Terra? Your thoughts on where in Canada you'd like to travel to and why?"
"Nowhere and everywhere, just because!"
"Just pick one place, Terra. One province. One territory. Heck, even a city, or attraction!" Miguel begged, glancing at the clown. "I want to hear this urban legend that Abigail's talking about."
"So do I!" Rebekah let out.
"I suppose I want to hear it too," Demetrius grumbled.
"Fine, fine!" The clown huffed. "I guess I'd like to go somewhere in Calgary. Hmm, now that you mention it, that gives me an idea…"
"Please don't…" Demetrius begged.
"Well, now that we've heard from everyone, Abigail, are you willing to tell the story about that legend you were talking about?" Bill asked.
"I am," Abigail nodded. "Brace yourselves, it's pretty scary.
There was once a village located on the opposite side of the tunnel. It's said you can still find old foundations among the trees.
It's one of those communities where everyone knew each other's business.
Looking down on one family. The father, known for being an alcoholic. He'd mistreat his wife and daughter. As the years pass, a dark secret among the families.
Then the wife had enough. One too many frightening nights. The last promise of better days ahead. 'I'll stop. Just don't leave!'
She planned it. He found out.
Legend states there was a fight. In the dead of night, the husband stopped his wife. Knocked her unconscious as the daughter ran out of the house.
He went into a rage. Walked from the house. Looking for the girl.
Hearing a noise from inside the access tunnel to the main road. 'If I can't have her, nobody will.'
Walking inside, holding a canister of gasoline. It's said he doused her in the liquid and then lit a wooden match. Legends say that if you light a match in the tunnel around midnight, you'll hear the ghostly screams of the little girl."
"Okay, now that was spooky," Demetrius shivered.
"There's another version of the tale, which involves the little girl being assaulted by a man, before being set on fire," Abigail said.
The criminal shivered again. "I really hope I don't get nightmares from this."
"Me too," Bill shivered. "Me too."
"You all would've never made it in the military." Walter shrugged
"Do you think you would survive the legend, soldier?" Demetrius smirked at him.
"Could you?"
"Well, how about you both go then?" Rebekah smirked.
"As long as the clown doesn't come along," Demetrius hissed.
"Well now I have to!" Terra replied.
"Me and my big fat mouth," Demetrius grumbled.
"Okay, we've reached the end of the show! Tune in next time, as Trish joins me on the couch where we interview the next four eliminated contestants, and Walter, Terra, and Demetrius as they explore the spooky legend of 'The Screaming Tunnel! I'm Bill, and thanks for watching! Goodnight, folks!"
As the crowd left and the Aftermath soon came to an end, a lingering camera caught The Midnight Men, waiting backstage and quickly losing patience.
"So, when are we supposed to go on again?" Johan asked.
"I don't know." Charlene sighed. "But we were told by the producers that we were supposed to perform!"
A woman that appeared to be in her early 20's soon entered the room. She looked very similar to Charlene, but her hair was a natural chocolate brown as opposed to Charlene's dyed pink. She wore a professional looking suit with an off-white buttoned down shirt and black dress shoes.
"Well, they finished the show without us." She said.
"Oh for the love of-!" Charlene groaned. "F*ck this! I'm going back to the bus! Thanks for telling us, sis."
"So, what now, Sapphire?" Johan asked.
"Well I suppose we go back on the road, maybe we'll run into Jen while we're out. We can come back here next Aftermath."
"We're still getting paid for this, right?" Kevin asked.
"We were paid in advance. Plus I can probably 'persuade' the producers to give us a bonus for them ripping us off." Sapphire replied.
"Best manager ever." Rodrick laughed.
