Chapter One – The Return of the Islanders

"Welcome to the eleventh season of Total Drama! This year we return to CampWawanakwa and in a shocking twist we are bringing back our original twenty-two contestants for a very special reunion! It's the tenth anniversary of when these campers first met here on the island and we'd like to see what they've been up to in the last few years. Rest assured there will be plenty of danger, daring and of course drama! This year on Total Drama Ten-Years-Later!"

-title sequence-

Chris McLean stands on the dock at CampWawanakwa, which is almost completely ruined, having not had any maintenance done on it for ten years.

"Let's get our contestants in! I'll be introducing them in the order they first arrived ten years ago, and I'll include in their introductions the things everyone's dying to hear, what defines how successful they've been since Total Drama – their career and their relationship status! And here's Beth!"

A boat glides up to the dock and Beth gets off, carrying a suitcase. She's barely recognisable from the first time she stood on the dock.

"Whoa Beth, what happened to you? Plastic surgery?" Chris sniggers.

"Yes actually," Beth replies, no trace of the lisp that once plagued her. Her side ponytail has been replaced with gently cascading light brown curls and her figure is much slimmer. Chris raises his eyebrows.

"Beth is currently between relationships as she is focusing on her career as a party planner for the rich and famous! Moving on. Here we have DJ! DJ is a pastry chef and is married with one lovely little child!"

DJ walks over to Beth.

"I don't remember you, sorry!" DJ says.

"It's me, Beth!" She smiles a dazzling smile.

"Whoa, no way!"

"Yes, yes, we know, Beth is hot now, let's get on with it!" Chris gestures to another approaching boat. "Next up is Gwen! Unfortunately Gwen is a single mother and a waitress, sucks to be her!"

"Just because I don't fit into society's ideas of what successful is, doesn't mean I'm not. I'm happy and that's all that matters. All I need in life is my little Eddie." Gwen glares at Chris and joins the others on the dock.

"Suuuure…"

"Wooo!" yells someone from a boat speeding towards to dock.

"Woo!" Chris calls back, a little less enthusiastically. Geoff jumps off the boat and goes over to hug Chris.

"Long time no see, man!" Geoff smiles, letting Chris go.

"Uh, Geoff, I saw you last week at that awards ceremony, remember?" Chris points out, literally pointing his finger in the air.

"Yeah, but that feels like such a long time ago! Congrats on the award by the way!" Geoff and Chris high five each other.

"Thanks, man! Geoff here is the host of popular reality TV show 'Super Scuba Scramble!' Geoff is single and ready to mingle!"

"Hell yeah I am!" Geoff high fives Gwen, DJ and Beth, and Chris turns his attention to the next contestant.

"Stepping off the boat now is the gorgeous Lllllindsayyyyy! Lindsay is a triple threat, dabbling in modelling, acting and singing, and being very successful in all three! Her new single 'My boots and my baby' can be downloaded from iTunes now! Lindsay is happily in a relationship!"

"Aw thanks, Chip! It's so great to be back on the set of Dancing with the Stars!"

"Uhhhh, it's Chris! And this is Total Drama!"

"Ohhh right! I just have soo many projects going on right now! Luckily my manager is super hot! Hey guys!" Lindsay walks over and joins the others. Chris shakes his head in disbelief.

"Just when you thought she couldn't get any dumber! Anyway, here's our next camper, Heather!" Heather struts off the boat, giving her hair a flick, she is as gorgeous and intimidating as ever.

"Oh hey, Heather!" Lindsay calls.

"Hey, Linds, Geoff, how rockin' was that party last night? I almost didn't make the boat!" Heather laughs and Lindsay joins in along with her. Geoff just nods approvingly. Beth rolls her eyes.

"Heather is happily married and her and her husband… well… I don't really know what they do? They're in the tabloids a lot that's for sure!"

"God, Chris, we're the It couple. Hollywood's best. We don't need jobs, people pay us just to be at their parties. Duh." Heather rolls her eyes and strides over to Lindsay with a fake smile plastered on her face.

"Why are you two friends again? Lindsay, I thought you hated Heather! And Geoff?!" Beth whines, a trace of her old self coming out.

"We run in the same circles now. Unlike you." Heather crosses her arms.

"I was the one who planned that party last night!"

"Ugh, whatever!"

"Heather's MARRIED?" DJ bursts out.

"Ugh obviously!" she holds out her hand to show the massive diamond on her finger. "Alejandro and I are extremely happy."

"Who cares? Let's see the next contestant." Chris interrupts. "It's the criminal who blew up my cottage in season five, Duncan!"

"You're still holding a grudge about that? Come on!"

"Yes, yes I am, and I didn't really want you back on the show but Chef insisted it would boost ratings so I relented. But I'm giving you fair warning, you're on thin ice, buddy." Chris pokes Duncan in the chest. Duncan folds his arms and rolls his eyes. Chris goes back to addressing the camera. "Duncan is single, cause who would ever want to date him? And he's the C…"

"I'm unemployed!" Duncan cuts him off.

"Sure, whatever. That's why you can't afford to keep that green in your mohawk huh?"

"Something like that." Duncan shoves Chris a little with his shoulder as he joins the rest of the campers.

"Next is Tyler!" Lindsay squeals in delight and claps her hands together. Heather rolls her eyes. Tyler skis in behind the boat just as he did in season one. He manages to stack the landing once again, knocking Chris over. Chris grunts and stands up, glaring at Tyler. "Tyler is Lindsay's manager and boyfriend!"

Tyler cartwheels to Lindsay, kicking Heather in the face and planting a kiss on his girlfriend.

"Ow, watch it, you clumsy jerkface!" Heather reprimands.

"Sorry, Heather!" Tyler puts his arms around Lindsay and they glance at each other worriedly.

"So Heather's still a bitch, but is our next contestant still a huge nerd?" Chris announces as Harold steps onto the dock. Chris looks Harold up and down, taking in his clothes and glasses. "I think that answer to that is yes! Harold has recently snagged himself a girlfriend and a few of his many jobs include a ninja, a magician and a beatboxing rapper!"

"There's no way Harold's a ninja! The other things I'd believe because they're incredibly LAME, but last time I checked, Harold was shit scared of ninjas." Duncan mocks.

"The best way to overcome your fears, is to become them. After season three, I attended Ninja Steve's Ninja Camp and now I am a freelance ninja."

"That makes no sense."

"Yeah, right!"

"Is that even a real thing?"

"It makes perfect sense, Duncan. It is right, Heather. And yes it is a real thing, Gwen. I'd be happy to show you my skills."

"No time! Here's Trent!" The others breathe a sigh of relief at the fact that they don't have to witness Harold's "skills."

Trent jumps off the boat with a guitar clung across his back.

"Trent is a musician who has had mild success, I guess. You may have heard his song 'Where's the drama in that?' which reached number 47 on the charts last year. He's currently single." Trent points his fingers at Gwen then puts both his thumbs up. Gwen rolls her eyes.

"If one more person rolls their eyes on this show today, I may have to stick forks in them!" Chris shouts. "Now, let me introduce… Bridgette! Bridgette is still a babe, she's a professional surfer and yes fellas, she's single!"

"I'm not looking for a relationship, Chris."

"Doesn't mean they can't try, am I right boys!" Chris elbows Trent in the side, raising his eyebrows suggestively. Bridgette sighs and stands next to Gwen, giving her a smile.

"Hey Gwen, how's it going. I haven't seen you in years!"

"Enough with the chit chat! What's a guy got to do to introduce some contestants in peace and quiet?" Chris stamps his foot. Noah walks over to him.

"Wow Chris, you're looking old." Chris glares at Noah with a pout.

"Gee thanks, Noah. Want me to kick you off first?" Noah just shrugs. "That's what I thought. Noah is a professor at the University of Canada and he's engaged, although god knows why."

"To a dude!" Duncan coughs under his breath.

"Excuse me?" Noah strides over to Duncan.

"I said you're engaged to a dude." Duncan crosses his arms smugly.

"Wow, in three words you've shown me that not only are you as childish as the first time we met, you're also a homophobic asshole." Noah says, deadpan.

"I'm not homophobic. Just guessing you're engaged to a dude." Duncan shrugs. Noah smirks at Duncan, giving Duncan a feeling of unease.

"Oh, you'll find out soon enough who I'm engaged to." He then walks away and stands by himself.

"Very mysterious. Arriving now is Leshawna! Leshawna is a beautician and she is taken, sorry boys!"

"That's right! Y'all better back off or my man is gonna come down here beat the livin' daylights outta ya! How's it going Harold, baby?"

"I really don't think you should call me baby, Leshawna, we aren't together anymore."

"You're still my baby, sugarpie! You know you and I will always have somethin'!" She gives him a tight hug and he nods his head sadly.

"Aw, what a touching reunion. Enough already! Here's Katie and Sadie!" Katie and Sadie step off the boat and everyone stares in surprise. The girls aren't dressed exactly alike. Katie is wearing a cute floral dress with her hair hanging down around her waist and Sadie is in a button down shirt and navy pants, her curly hair in a bob.

"Katie…" Chris starts, only to be cut off mid-sentence.

"It's Katherine now," says Katie, smiling.

"Fine. Katherine is a primary school teacher and is in a relationship, Sadie is married with three kids and is unemployed."

"Having three boisterous children between the ages of two and six is a full time job, Chris." Sadie says defensively.

"Yeah, uh huh. Go away."

"Don't worry, Sadie, Chris doesn't appreciate motherhood or think that being a mother is worthy of respect." Gwen says icily, shooting daggers at Chris.

"So how come you guys don't dress the same anymore?" Bridgette asks.

"Oh, we kind of grew out of it. We have actually grown apart quite a bit. I haven't seen Sadie in about three years." Says Katherine, Sadie nods in agreement.

"And now, this time ten years ago, little Ezekiel was stepping onto the dock. Sadly Zeke passed away and is no longer with us. Shall we have a minutes silence to remember him?" Chris glances at the contestants. Some are shaking their heads, some shrug.

"Who's Ezekiel?" asks Lindsay.

"Okay, clearly not! Let's have our next contestant, Cody! Cody is an accountant and is married with one child and one on the way!"

"Oh my god, Cody, who are you married to?" asks Gwen.

"Sierra, of course," Cody says happily.

"Sierra? Really? But I thought you thought she was crazy?"

"She is crazy! Crazy about me! And I'm crazy about her too!" Cody says dreamily. Heather sticks her finger down her throat and makes gagging noises.

"Ugh, gross! Can we get on with it please? I'm sick of standing here."

"Heather's right. Here's Eva! Eva is a personal trainer and she is single."

"Well duh." Says Heather. Eva stomps over to her.

"Shut your dumb face you dumb ugly bitch!" Eva's face fills with rage.

"Whatever!" Heather looks at her nails. Eva punches her in the face.

"Still haven't got that rage under control I see!" Chris chuckles. "Now we have my big buddy Owen!"

"Yeeeeeehaaaa!" Owen bellows, jumping into the lake, sending a huge wave of water splashing over everyone. He belches as he scrambles onto the dock.

"Sorry!" he says sheepishly to the varied looks of disgust and venom that greet him. There are a couple of people who look happy to see him though, that being Noah, Geoff and Trent. He grabs the three guys and Chris and pulls them into a huge embrace.

"Owen…" Chris chokes out.

"Yeah?!"

"I… have…to…introduce you!"

"Oh, sorry!" He let's go and stands next to Noah.

"Owen is a single man and works in an office doing who knows what, he doesn't even know himself!" Owen shrugs. Another boat pulls up.

"Our next arrival is Courtney!" Courtney steps gracefully onto the dock, hands on hips. She smiles at the gathering of people.

"Hi everyone, it's so nice to see you all again!" Faces of disbelief looked back at her and her calm façade faltered for a second until Chris started talking again.

"Courtney is a lawyer, who saw that coming?! She's also engaged."

"What? You're engaged?!"

"Yes. Duncan, is it?"

"You know perfectly well it is. Who's you're fiancé?" Duncan's outburst has receded to a casual curiosity.

"Noah." She holds out her hand and Noah walks over and takes it.

"NOAH!? You're kidding right?" Everyone else seems as surprised as Duncan is.

"Why do you care who I'm engaged to anyway?" she huffs.

"I don't. I just… I'm annoyed because now I owe Geoff fifty bucks."

"Huh? What for?" Courtney asks.

"Back in TotalDramaIsland we thought statistically there'd most likely be two gay people among us. I bet him it was Noah and Owen." Courtney glances at her fiancé then raises her eyebrows at Duncan, before turning her back on him and leading Noah back over to the rest of the group.

"Who'd Geoff say was gay?" asks Owen, tapping his index fingers together.

"Izzy and Justin."

"Shut up! Who cares who's gay? As long as I get the camera back on me! And speaking of Justin, here he is!" Chris finally interrupts. Justin is as gorgeous as ever, he's shirtless as he steps off the boat.

"Wow, this place hasn't changed a bit. Hey ladies!" He blows a kiss at Lindsay and Tyler shakes his fist at him.

"Justin is a model, clearly, and he's single."

"But only because one woman is never enough! I can't be tied down like that."

"Yeah, yeah. And last but not least, it's Izzy!"

"Oh my god you guys, I'm so psyched to be back. Did you know that while the show wasn't being filmed here I lead an expedition to the middle of the island and we found a diamond mine? But then there was an earthquake and it caved in and like two people died or something but not me, but now I can't remember where it is."

"Uh huh. Now that you're all here, let's get you into teams! You'll be on the same teams as last time! The Screaming Gophers are: Heather, Lindsay, Gwen, Noah, Owen, Trent, Beth, Justin, Izzy, Leshawna, and Cody! Duncan, Katherine, Sadie, Courtney, Tyler, Eva, Harold, Geoff, Bridgette and DJ, you are the Killer Bass!"

"We should go back to the original teams," says Katherine.

"These are the original teams," Chris says patronisingly.

"No, I mean before Izzy and Sadie swapped."

"You don't want to be on Sadie's team?" Chris says disbelievingly. Katherine shrugs. "The teams will stay as they are. Get ready for your first challenge!"
