The votes are in! A winner has been decided! Honestly, it took me by surprise…but I wont give it away here. This is the final chapter of Total Drama Island, SEASON 2 (*tear*) and season three will begin soon after this! Watch for it! And now, the finale!
The bright lights from above stung the eyes of the enormous crowd that had gathered. The seats were filled row after row of fans of the Total Drama series. Everyone was dressed elegantly to accommodate the Academy Award-style theater. In the first two rows of seats were the guests of honor: the forty-two campers featured throughout Total Drama Island, Action, and SEASON TWO.
In the center of the row were the three finalists, Terran, Allister, and Raine, all covered in varying degrees of disgustingness. Raine struggled to stay awake and her bloodshot eyes stared listlessly forward. Mud was caked all over her body. Terran had long since passed out and was snoring loudly, garbage and other "stuff" covering him, causing an intolerable odor. Allister seemed to be the cleanest, but was covered in bruises, cuts and scratches from who knows what. Even his left arm was in a sling and his right eye was colored purple.
The other campers seemed relatively placid and…happy. Couples sat together, the veteran campers smirked at the newest batch of teens whose summer was ruined by the stupid reality show. The stage was empty and a lone podium stood in the center, holding a single pineapple. The crowd awaited the sadistic and narcissistic host, Chris MacClean, to make his appearance.
"God! This guys is such a―!" Hailey began, but was abruptly cut off by the lights dimming and unnecessarily dramatic and cliched music filling the theater. The heavy curtains slowly pulled back to reveal Chris in his trademarked light blue tuxedo. Hey threw his arms out to present himself to his "adoring" audience, that responded with silence and the very out of place cricket chirp. He coughed once and a prerecorded applause sounded.
"Thank you, thank you! I love you all!" he announced as he walked up to the podium. The applause faded to silence. "Welcome the finale of Total Drama Island, SEASON TWO! Before we announce the winner, I have a little something I want to say―" He produced several sheets of paper form inside his jacket and cleared his throat. The audience groaned before he uttered even the first word.
Two and a half hours later…
"…and that is why llamas should never suspenders," Chris finished. By now, most of the audience had either fallen asleep or left. "Now, we will come to the reason we are all here: to announce the million-dollar winner!"
A large screen lowered behind Chris. A projector from the far wall began showing random clips of the final three campers during the final challenge. Raine was hooked to a rope that was strewn all across an obstacle course. She struggled to follow at throughout the cross, and fell many times into the swampy muck below her. Terran stared with big puppy dog eyes at Chris but only received a push off the diving board into the pool filled with trash, Chef's food, and other "stuff" to gross to be mentioned on cable television. Allister stood catatonic in a cave as the large bear rose onto his haunches and let loose a bone-quivering roar.
"Since the challenges had no coherence or significance to the actual game we couldn't really figure out how to decide who won…but it was still funny!" Raine looked at him with daggers. Terran had now woken up and looked lost but the remembered where he was.
"Hm…? Did I win?" he mumbled.
"Not yet, Terran!" Chris called out. He motioned for the final three to join him on the stage. Allister, Terran, and Raine complied begrudgingly. "The envelope, please!" Chris called to his right. Chef, in his gorgeous sequined dress, appeared to numerous catcalls and giggles.
"Y'all be quiet! You're just jealous you can't pull this dress off!" He handed Chris the envelope and walked condescendingly back off the stage. Chris opened the envelope slowly.
"Terran…" he began. He paused for several seconds to increase the tension. The audience was now silent, the tension too thick to be cut even by a meat cleaver. Honestly, Terran didn't really care if he won or not. He just wanted to sit back down and go to sleep. "You are…not the winner!" Chris giggled.
"Awesome! I mean―that sucks, man…" He jumped off the stage and went back to sleeping. Chris gave him a questioning look, then resumed. Raine and Allister looked at each other nervously as Chris picked up the final pineapple. "The winner of Total Drama Island, SEASON TWO is…

ALLISTER!"
The crowd erupted in applause and Allister smiled the largest he had since the show began. Raine shrugged and gave the winner a hug.
"Good job," she said.
"Thanks," he replied. He snatched the pineapple from Chris. Chef emerged again, this time carrying a large cardboard check for one million dollars. Allister grabbed it, too, to Chef's annoyance. Once the audience died down, Chris spoke again.
"Congratulations! But there's a twist," Chris added with a smirk. Allister's face fell. "I'm sure the veteran contestants have had enough sequels, but the producers―with some of my encouragement―have decided on another!" The campers groaned loudly. "Yes, that's right! Ten of you will come back for Total Drama EXPLOSION, along with ten from season one, and ten new campers!"
Now, all the campers, new and old, groaned. "When I call your name, it means you've been one of the lucky ones to join us for this new fun season!" Raine and Allister went to go sit in their seats and prayed they wouldn't be picked.
"From SEASON TWO, we will have Type-A, LEIGHTON!" Leighton's jaw dropped. She adjusted her new weave and begrudgingly walked to join Chris. "Also joining, we have loser-turned-meanest-guy-on-the-island, VINSON!" Vinson sighed and joined Leighton on the stage. The two nodded at each other. "Coming with them, we'll also have our goth Sapphire, eccentric Marietta, and tree-hugger Lena!" The three girls walked up, Marietta the only one excited.
"Yay! I get another chance!" she squealed.
"Yeah…right…" Chris mused. "We will also have party-guy TJ, rocker-chick Raine, and surfer-dude Terran!" Raine went up on stage with a sinister look at Chris while TJ tried to wake up Terran and drag him onto the stage. "And rounding out the cast, we have this season's winner, loner Allister and bitch Hailey!"
"I resent that!" Hailey screamed from her seat as she walked up to the stage with Allister keeping his distance from her.
"I bet you do…" Chris mocked. "And from season one―drum roll, please!" A faint drumming sounded and ceased. "Psycho hose-beast Izzy! Lazy genius Noah! Dumb-blonde Lindsay! Party-dude Geoff! Surfer-girl Bridgette! Teddy-bear DJ! Drop-dead gorgeous Justin! Queen bee Heather! Loud and proud LeShawna! And last but not least, female bully Eva!"
The ten veterans joined the large group on stage. Chris turned to face the camera head-on. "Do you want to be in out final group of ten new campers? Just listen to your author for more information!"
Yay!!! It's over! Hooray! And season three is starting! Double-hooray!!! Anyway, now for the important stuff: I posted a new story called "Total Drama Explosion." If you want to be in it, go there, fill out the form, and hopefully you'll get in! If not…oh well! I'm only taking ten (preferably seven guys and three girls, to keep the genders equal) so hurry up! If you're a returning camper and you want to update your character's profile, feel free to fill out another form! So, see you when I see you! And I hope season three is as good as season two!
