Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

The Camera focuses on Sprintstorm, who's standing on the Dock of Shame. "Yo! We're coming at you live from Camp Wawanakwa, somewhere in Muskoka, Ontario. I'm your host, Sprintstorm, dropping season one of the hottest new reality show on television, right now!" He winks and gives a smile. "Here's the deal: 22 campers have signed up to spend eight weeks right here at this crummy old summer camp. They'll compete in challenges against each other, then have to face the judgment of their fellow campers. Every three days, one team will either win a reward, or watch one of their team members walk down the Dock of Shame, take a ride on the Loser Boat, ha ha, and leave Total Drama Island, for good!" Sprintstorm walks to the Campfire pit. "Their fate will be decided here, at the dramatic campfire ceremonies where each week, all but one camper will receive... a marshmallow." Sprintstorm takes a bite out of a marshmallow. "In the end, only one will be left standing and will be rewarded with cheesy tabloid fame and a small fortune, which let's face it: they're probably blow in a week. To survive, they'll have to battle... Black flies..."

A group of flies are flying over the cabin.

"Badgers and foxes.."

A badger roars in the background.

"Disgusting camp food..."

A maggot on a plate winks. "Hey now!"

Sprintstorm smirks. "Aaaaannnnnddddd, each other! Every moment will be caught on one of the hundreds of camera situated all over the camp. Who will crumble under the pressure? Find out here right now on...TOTAL.....DRAMA......ISLAND!"

*Theme song*

"Now, let's welcome our first eleven campers! They think they're going to stay in a 5-star resort. Ha! They'll get quite a surprise! Heh, heh!" Sprintstorm turned to have a large boat come. "Please welcome Swiftnose!"

Swiftnose, a brown tabby, ran up to Sprintstorm and hugs him. "HI SPRINTSTORM! It's so awesome to meet you!" She looks him up and down. "You're a lot shorter in real life."

"Uh, thanks..." Sprintstorm blinked. "Welcome Wesley, a big old guy with a big old heart!"

A dark brown cat walked out of the boat. "Uh, you sure this is the right place? Where's the hot tub?"

"This is it, Wesley! Camp Wawanakwa!" Everything is silent for a few minutes.

"Great." Wesley sighs, and stands by Swiftnose.

"Now meet Willowfall!" Sprintstorm points to a brown cat with gray patches. Her green eyes are looking around.

"You mean we're staying here?!" Willowfall asks in disbelief.

"That's right Willowfall!" Sprintstorm winks.

"I did NOT sign up for this." Willowfall growls.

"Actually, you did!" Sprintstorm held up a stack of papers. Willowfall grabbed her contract and tore it up. "The great thing about lawyers is that they make a lot of copies."

Willowfall turns her back to Sprintstorm. "I am not staying here!" She hissed.

"Well, I hope you can swim, 'cause your ride just left!" Sprintstorm laughs.

"I hate my life." Willowfall growls.

"And now let's meet Stormcloud!" Sprintstorm shakes tails with a blue-gray cat.

"Yo, Sprintstorm! It's awesome to meet you, man!" Stormcloud meows cheerfully.

"Nice to meet you too, man." Sprintstorm nods.

"Thanks, man."

"If he says 'man' one more time, I will kill him." Willowfall muttered.

"And now: Stoneface!" A pretty gray cat walks onto the Dock, her blue eyes big. Sprintstorm eyes her. "Non too shabby."

"Ah, thanks!" Stoneface giggles, then peers at Sprintstorm's face. "Okay, you look soooo familiar!"

"Sprintstorm?" No reply. "The host of the show?" Stoneface smiled.

"Oh yeah! That's where I know you from!" She nodded. Willowfall slaps her forehead with her paw.

"Idiot."

Dramatic music starting to play as a black cat walks onto the Dock, taking off her sunglasses and eying the campers. Swiftnose walks up to her.

"Hi! I'm Swiftnose!" She meowed. The black cat scoffed.

"Everyone, welcome - " Lightning strikes in the background, " - Heatherfrost!" Sprintstorm introduced this cat, who had a sadistic glint in her gray eyes.

"Where is this? Sprintstorm, you specifically said that we would be staying at a 5-star resort. I want my 5-star resort!" Heatherfrost growls.

Sprintstorm ignored her. "Redfall my man!" He shakes paws with a ginger tom, whom had many piercings.

"I don't like surprises, brah." Redfall warned Sprintstorm.

"I know; your parole officer told me. He also said to give him a holler if there were any... difficulties." Sprintstorm replied, unshaken.

"Whatever." Redfall walked along the Dock, but stopped to wink at Heatherfrost. "Meet you by the campfire, gorgeous!" He purred sarcastically.

"Drop dead, you skeeze!" Heatherfrost hissed.

"And let's welcome Fireclaw!" Sprintstorm pointed to a ginger cat riding water skis, but he fails, flips over, and crashes onto the Dock, splashing water all over Heatherfrost. The black cat snarled, then stomped off.

"Thornmew, everyone!" Sprintstorm pointed to a brown cat, with splotches of black. He was carrying a keyboard and other items.

"So this is a crappy summer camp, and not a show on a big stage instead?" Thornmew asked.

"That's right, Thornmew!" Sprintstorm nodded.

"Yyyyyyyeeeeesssss! This is so much better for my mad skills!" Thornmew stuck his paw in the air, then slowly brought it down as he said "yes".

"Now welcome Stormwhisker!" Sprintstorm pointed to a silver cat.

"Hey Sprintstorm. Good to meet you, man. I saw your figure skating show. Nice job." Stormwhisker nodded.

"Thanks, brah! I rocked that show." Sprintstorm winked. "Please give a round of applause for Falconstrike!"

A brown cat with two tails padded onto the Dock, carrying a surfboard. Redfall scoffed.

"Nice board, honey. This ain't Malibu." Redfall whistled. Falconstrike narrowed her eyes in confusion.

"But I thought we were going to be on the beach!" She replied.

"We are." Sprintstorm meowed. A seagull crashed into a cliff and dropped at Falconstrike's feet.

"Great." Falconstrike muttered.

"Now, let's introduce Airstripe!"

A black-and-white cat walked onto the Dock. "Oh great. Wonderful place. I'm sure you got the memo's about my life-threatening allergies?" He asked Sprintstorm.

"I'm pretty sure someone did."

"Good. Is this where we're staying?" Airstripe asked in disbelief. Redfall rolled his eyes.

"No, it's your mom's house and we're throwing a party." He growled.

"Cute piercings. You do them yourself?" Airstripe asked sarcastically, rolling his eyes. Redfall grabbed Airstripe's lower lip.

"Thanks. You want one?" He snarled.

"Uh, no thanks. Can I please have my lip back?" Redfall dropped Airstripe.

"Grayclaw, everyone!" A gray cat walked up. Thornmew stared at her as if she were a bug.

"I've never seen someone like you in real life." He observed.

"Ex-ca-use me?" Grayclaw countered.

"You're real big... And loud." Thornmew replied.

"What did you - oh no you didn't! You haven't seen anything! I'll show you big, baby!" Grayclaw growled.

"Welcome Moonclaw and Redeyes!" Two identical black cats walked side-by-side onto the Dock. One had blue eyes, the other red.

"OhMyGosh! Redeyes, look! It's a summer camp!" Moonclaw jumped up and down.

"OhMyGosh, I've always wanted to go to summer camp!" Redeyes jumped with her friend. "EEEEEEEEH!" Both cheered.

"Jaggedclaws! What's up, man?" Sprintstorm greeted a black-and-white cat. Jaggedclaws looked up literally.

"I think I see a bird, eh." He replied. Willowfall slapped her forehead.

"Okay, look, dude, I know you don't get out much. Been home schooled your whole life, raised by freaky prairie people, just don't say much and try not to get kicked off too early, okay?" Sprintstorm gave Jaggedclaws the advice.

"Okay, eh." Jaggedclaws gave a goofy smile and joined the others.

"Sunset. The Sunster. The Sunmeister!" Sprintstorm winked.

"Hey, psyched to be here, bro. I see the ladies have arrived." Sunset attempted to flirt with Grayclaw.

"Back up, stringbean." Grayclaw gave him the "talk-to-the-hand".

"And now, let's give a round of applause for Ivyface!"

A muscular brown cat arrived on the island, and dropped her bags on Sunset's paws.

"OW! What's in there, dumbbells?"

"Yes."

Redfall and Wesley exchanged a glance. "She's all yours, brah." Redfall said to Wesley.

"Tigernose, everybody!" Sprintstorm introduced a brown tabby with a happy smile.

"Woohoo! What's up, guys? I'm so psyched to be here!" Tigernose laughed.

"Here comes Tawnyflower." Sprintstorm pointed to a tortoiseshell cat walking onto the island.

"Thank you. Hi. You must be the other contestants. It's really nice to meet you all." said Tawnyflower politely. Tigernose shook Tawnyflower's paw.

"How's it going? I'm Tigernose."

"It's nice to meet you, Tig - oh wow!" Tawnyflower's wide green gaze went to the Boat, where Oscar was.

"Hey, Oscar! You do realize we chose you based on your looks, right?" Sprintstorm greeted the handsome cat. Oscar shrugged.

"I can deal."

"And now our last contestant: Bluefoot!" Sprintstorm greeted a blue-gray cat with a crazy look in her blue eyes.

"Hi, Sprintstorm, hi!" said Bluefoot, falling off the Boat and bonking onto the Dock, hitting her chin.

"Ooh, that's bad." Fireclaw chuckled.

"Not funny, you guys! She could be really hurt!" Tawnyflower ran to Bluefoot and pulled her out of the water.

"That felt... great! Except for hitting my chin. Is this summer camp? That is so cool! Do you have paper mache here? Are we having lunch soon?" Bluefoot pummeled them with questions.

"Good call!" Tigernose replied at her last question.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The campers, Chef Talonear, and Sprintstorm were at the campfire pit. "The first team will be consisting of Willowfall, Stormwhisker, Heatherfrost, Sunset, Stoneface, Swiftnose, Moonclaw, Tigernose, Grayclaw, Oscar, and Airstripe! You will be called the Screaming Gophers!" said Sprintstorm.

"The other team will be Stormcloud, Falconstrike, Wesley, Fireclaw, Redeyes, Bluefoot, Tawnyflower, Jaggedclaws, Redfall, Ivyface, and Thornmew! You are the Killer Bass!"

"Teams, meet me at the cliff in just a few for your first challenge. Put on your swimsuits!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The teams came to the top of a very high cliff. Only one word was said, by Stormcloud.

"Woah."
