A/N: I decided to start a new story. First I should explain how this works. I've taken 22 characters from different cartoons and put them in the first season of Total Drama. These characters are all around the same age which I've chosen to be 12; so they're all tweens. That's where the title comes from. Some of them aren't actually 12 so I aged them up. There are no teens or anyone older, and definitely no anthromorphic or anything weird; everyone is human. Well technically there is one exception but same thing. Thanks for reading.
Total Tween Island
Chapter 1: Not so happy campers part 1
Chris Mclean stood poised on the dock of shame as the reality TV show started its first episode. "Yo! We're coming at you live from Camp Wawanakwa, somewhere in Muskoka, Ontario; I'm your host, Chris McLean, dropping season one of the hottest new reality shows on television, right now!" He moves further down the dock of shame.
"Here's the deal, twenty-two twelve year olds from different cartoons have signed up to spend eight weeks right here at this crummy old summer camp. They'll compete in challenges against each other, and 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!"
Chris is shown in front of the fire pit. "Their fate will be decided here, at the dramatic campfire ceremonies where each week, all but one camper will receive... a marshmallow." The host pops a marshmallow into his mouth. "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'll probably blow in a week. To survive, they'll have to battle... Black flies, grizzly bears, disgusting camp food and 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 plays)
"It's time to meet our first eleven campers." Chris said. "We told them they'd all be staying at this five star resort, so if they seem a little T.O'd, that's probably why." He smiled. A few seconds later a white boat pulled up and stopped in front of the dock. "Alright here come our first four contestants, from Phineas and Ferb!"
Four twelve year olds walked out of the boat; three boys and one girl. "It's Phineas, Isabella, Buford and Baljeet!" The four looked around curiously at their new surrounding a moment before speaking.
"Is this a summer camp built onto a small island? Awesome!" Phineas said excitedly. "This is great! I wish Ferb were here to see this."
"Umm…Phineas?" Isabella tugged gently on the boy's shirt. "We were supposed to be at a five star resort. Not a crummy island."
"Yes," Baljeet agreed. "This was not what the pamphlet stated at all! Something is very wrong." He waved a pamphlet around.
"Yeah, that's our little surprise." Chris smirked. "We thought it would be more fun this way."
"I don't like surprises!" Buford pushed his fist into Chris' face. "And I don't like it when uppity hosts think they can mess with me!"
"Buford maybe you shouldn't be threatening the host…" Baljeet said looking from Chris to his bully friend.
"Get out of my face!" Chris pushed the fist away. "Now go stand at the end of the dock and wait for the others!"
"Well that was kind of rude." Phineas said as they walked over the dock.
Chris fixed his hair quickly as the next boat arrived. "And here come our next group straight from Invader Zim! Welcome Zim, Dib and Gaz!" When the three got off the boat it immediately drove off with haste. Zim was wearing his human disguise and looked around curiously but obviously had no idea what to think. Gaz looked around angrily while Dib turned excitedly toward his sister.
"See Gaz? I told you it was too good to be true!" He jumped up and down for a moment. "They'd never send us to a five star resort; it was all a conspiracy!"
"Shut up Dib." His sister said before pulling out her game slave.
"Yes yes," Zim nodded. "Very nice human camp you have here. I am clearly human and thus belong here!"
"Umm…okay." Chris said clearly confused.
"Don't listen to him!" Dib told the host. "He's an alien! He's been sent here to conquer our planet! Just look at his skin! It's green!"
"I have a very serious skin condition." Zim told the host.
"Hey Dib, don't make fun of the kid just cause he has a skin condition. Not cool bro."
"It's not a skin condition!" Dib cried out. "He's lying! What's wrong with you people?"
"Okay to the end of the dock…" Chris pushed them along.
The three walked over toward Phineas and his friends. "Hey guys," the redheaded leader greeted them.
"It's…nice to meet you." Isabella felt slightly threatened by the three but still wanted to be polite.
"Ughh!" Gaz shivered suddenly. "Happy people…"
"Hello fellow human worm babies!" Zim said very loudly as he shook Baljeet's hand.
"Y-Yes, nice to meet you." The nerd said trying to pull his arm free.
"Here comes our next group," Chris said. "It's another group of three. Straight out of Gravity Falls here comes Dipper, his sister Mabel, and…Pacifica Northwest?" Chris had to read that last name twice. "Is that really your name?"
"Yes," Pacifica snapped. "How rude! Don't you know who I am?"
"Yay!" Mabel cheered. "We're here Dipper! Isn't this great?"
"I don't know Mabel…" Dipper looked around. "This looks a lot different than the brochure. Maybe we should've stayed in Gravity Falls…"
"Oh don't be such a downer!" the sister lightly punched her brother's shoulder. "It'll be so much fun!"
"Your loser brother is right for once." Pacifica frowned. "This place is a dump! I can't believe I got tricked into coming here."
"Oh why did she have to come?" Mabel sighed.
"I demand to leave this island at once!" The blonde told Chris.
"Well your boat already left." Chris smiled. "But you're welcome to try to swim back." Pacifica glared fiercely at Chris but knew there was nothing she could do so she walked to the end of the dock. Mabel and Dipper started laughing.
As Mabel introduced herself to everyone else on the dock Dipper stood beside Dib. "Man I can't believe what a scam this is…"
Dib suddenly turned to look at him. "I know right?" He said excited that someone else had noticed. "And they don't even care!" Dipper nodded his agreement. "So is that your sister?"
"Yeah…" Dipper looked over toward Mabel. "She gets overexcited sometimes. Most of the time actually."
"Yeah, my sister's crazy too." He said in a whisper glancing fearfully toward Gaz. Luckily she was too busy playing her game and didn't hear him.
"And now for our last big group," Chris said as another boat pulled up. "From the Jimmy Neutron show it's Cindy, Libby, Sheen and Carl!"
Just as he said this the four stepped off the boat and onto the dock. Libby looked around before turning back to her best friend. "Girl, this does not look like a five star resort."
"What's the deal Mclean?" Cindy pointed her index finger at the host.
"No deal. The show takes place right here at camp Wawanakwa!"
"Wow!" Sheen said excitedly. "This is just like the island of doom from Ultra Lord Episode 547!"
"Oh boy," Carl whined. "I think my allergies are acting up. This island must not agree with my sinuses."
"I wish Jimmy could've been here to see this!" Sheen thought.
"Where is nerdtron anyway?" Cindy asked. Libby shrugged.
Chris frowned. "You four sure are chatty, ain't cha? Go stand with the others already." The four walked over with the rest. Carl and Sheen stood next to Buford while Cindy and Libby were beside Isabella. Everyone waited for Chris to announce the next arrival. "Well now that the big groups are taken care of it's time for a group of two."
One boy and one girl got off the boat as he said this. "Everyone welcome Billy and Mandy from the show…Billy and Mandy!" He slapped himself in the face.
Billy was looking around excitedly while Mandy glared at the host. "Oh boy!" Billy jumped up and down. "This is going to be so much fun! Yeah yeah yeah!"
"Shut up Billy." Mandy pushed him off the dock and into the water. "This is no resort. You tricked me Mclean. Don't think you'll get away with that. I always get my revenge."
"Yeah yeah," Chris said totally not intimidated. "You're not the first person with a vendetta against me." Mandy walked over to stand beside Gaz. The two locked eyes for a moment before looking away. Billy got back on dock and ran over next to Sheen.
"And here come our next two." Chris said as another boat arrived. "From Ed, Edd, n Eddy: its Edd and Nazz!" The boy and girl walked off the boat.
"A-Actually," Edd said nervously. "You can call me Double-D. All my friends do."
Nazz smiled and waved to everyone. "Hey guys! It's great to be here. Nice to meet you Chris Mclean!" She shook the host's hand. "I saw you on that ice skating show dude."
"Thanks," Chris smiled. "Always great to meet a fan."
"Yeah!" Nazz giggled. "You're routine was so funny. I loved when you slipped and fell on the ice!"
Chris' smile quickly turned into a frown. "Very funny…" He said annoyed. "Anyway here comes the next boat. All the way from Hey Arnold it's Helga!"
The blonde girl was the only one off the boat but she made up for it with her aggressive behavior. "Criminy, what is this place? I've seen garbage dumps that looked more appealing!"
"Can't say I disagree…" Pacifica muttered while filing her nails.
Chris found her reacting very amusing. "Welcome to your home for the next eight weeks Helga."
"Not if I have anything to say about it bucko!" She stepped on his foot as she walked down the dock. Chris resisted the urge to cry out as he hopped on one foot holding the other.
"Out of my way moron!" Helga pushed Edd down onto the dock as she made her way over.
"Hey, you don't have to be so rude!" Nazz told the girl as she helped Edd to his feet.
"You want to make somethin of it?" Helga pushed her fist in Nazz's face.
"Uhh…no." The prettier girl backed down.
"That's what I thought." Helga said. From behind her Mandy smirked.
"So our next camper has already arrived." Chris said. Everyone turned to look. "And it's Misery from Ruby Gloom!"
The purple girl with a dark aura around her had already arrived while Helga was threatening Nazz. She seemed to have her own personal thundercloud above her head. "Hello everyone…" She said in a rather dull voice. "A summer camp huh? I was expecting something much more horrible."
She then started to walk down the dock toward the others when the wood beneath her feet gave way and she fell into the water. Some of the others rushed towards the spot. "Are you okay?" Phineas asked as he and Cindy pulled her back onto the dock. She was soaking wet.
"Oww…" She rubbed her head. "I'm okay."
"Well that was depressing," Chris muttered to himself. "Luckily our next camper has arrived." The boat that just pulled up dropped off a short boy. "It's Timmy Turner from the Fairly Oddparents!"
"Hey Chris Mclean!" Timmy greeted the host as he walked over. "Wait…where are we? This doesn't look like the resort. Where'd they put the hot tub?" He sounded worried.
"No hot tub on this island bro." Chris explained. Timmy looked disappointed and walked toward the others.
"Hey dude," Sheen said getting into Timmy's face. "Did you know your hat is pink? What's up with that?"
"Hey get out of my face!" He pushed Sheen away. "I already knew that!"
"Then why are you wearing it?" Timmy decided to ignore this question.
"Okay here comes our last camper!" Chris announced as the last white boat pulled up. "Say hello to number three from Kids Next Door!"
The young girl wearing green skipped her way onto the dock and over to Chris. "Hi Chris!" She waved excitedly. "You can call me Kuki. Is this a summer camp? I love summer camp! Will there be arts and crafts?"
"That's a good question!" Mabel called out.
Kuki skipped over to her. "Hi!" The two girls high-fived.
"Thank God that's over." Chris slid his hand across his face. "Alright everybody! We need a picture of all of you for the promos so line up!" He watched as all twenty-two of them tried to form two successful lines but it wasn't going well.
"Oww! Someone stepped on my foot!"
"Stop pushing!"
"Buford get in the back! You're too tall!"
"Timmy get in front! You're too short!"
"Hey you did that on purpose!"
Eventually they were all correctly lined up on the dock so Chris could pull out his camera. "Alright hold that pose." Chris said taking the picture. "Wait, I forgot to take the lens cap off." Everyone groaned. "Hold on!"
"Hurry up Chris!" Sheen urged the host. "I think my face is stuck!" '
Gaz growled. "If I have to stand next to these people for five more seconds I'm going to lose it…"
"Okay everyone," Chris said finally ready. "Say Wawanakwa!" But right as he took the picture the dock they were all standing on broke under their weight and all twenty two of them fell into the water. Various screams of surprise and fear were heard and Chris was pretty sure Helga punched somebody.
"Alright get dried off and meet in at the campfire pit in ten minutes!"
Ten minutes later the tweens had all found their way to the campfire pit which wasn't too far away. They hadn't done much else besides dry themselves off with some towels they were given once they got back to shore. Now they all stood around awkwardly as they waited for Chris to explain what happened next.
Chris showed up right on time and walked over to them with his hands behind his back. "This…is Camp Wawanakwa!" He said stretching his arms out to indicate that he was talking about the whole island. "And it's your home for the next eight weeks. The campers around you will be your cabin-mates, your competition, and maybe even your friends." As he said this the twenty two of them each looked at the people to their right and left wondering the same thing. "You dig?"
"The camper who manages to stay on Total Drama Island the longest without getting voted off will win one million dollars!" A few of the campers cheered and many looked excited.
"Hey host guy!" Buford interrupted. "What are the sleeping arrangements like? Cause I would find it very uncomfortable to sleep in the same cabin as a girl."
"They're not co-ed…are they?" Isabella asked.
"No," Chris told her. "Girls get one side of each cabin and dudes get the other."
"Wait, we have to share a cabin with the rest of our team?" Pacifica asked. "I want my own cabin!"
"It doesn't work that way." The host informs her. "Learning to live with and get along with your team is part of the show. If you can't do that your time on the island might be cut short."
Mabel turned to her brother. "Maybe we won't have to worry Dipper. It sounds like Pacifica won't be here for long."
"Hey I heard that!" The blonde pointed at Mabel.
"This drama is great for ratings." Chris said. "But I need you two to cut it short. At least until I finish my explanation. Here's the deal: I'm going to split you into two teams. If I call your name out please go stand over there." He pointed toward the left side of the campfire pit.
"Phineas.
"Gaz.
"Sheen.
"Mandy.
"Baljeet.
"Cindy.
"Timmy.
"Helga.
"Edd.
"Mabel.
"And Billy."
"From this moment on you are officially known as…the Screaming Gophers!" he threw a folded up flag at them. Billy caught it and opened it up to see the gopher emblem.
"Wow a gopher! Awesome!" He cheered.
"I wish our team mascot was something less lame." Timmy said to himself.
"The rest of you." Chris turned to the eleven whose names hadn't been called and hadn't moved from their original spots. "I want you on the other side. And those would be…"
"Isabella.
"Dib.
"Misery.
"Zim.
"Libby.
"Buford.
"Pacifica.
Dipper.
"Kuki.
"Carl.
"And Nazz."
"You guys will officially be known as…the Killer Bass!" He then threw the other flag he was carrying at the second group. Kuki caught it and opened it up to show the Bass emblem.
"We're team fish?" Pacifica said in disbelief. "That's even lamer than being a gopher!"
"It's not that bad…" Nazz tried to stay positive.
"I like fish." Buford commented. "I like to eat em anyway."
"I'm allergic to fish…" Carl mentioned.
"Alright campers," Chris drew their attention back to him. "You and your team will be on camera in all public areas during this competition. You will also be able to use our outhouse confessional to share your innermost thoughts on camera. This way you can let the audience know what you're really thinking without anyone else hearing it. Why don't you try it out?"
*Confessional*
Mabel: I'm not on Pacifica's team! Yay! I am so going to rock this!
Billy: Uhh where's the camera? I don't get it.
Cindy: Eww this is gross. Why is the confessional in an outhouse?
Zim: Prepare yourselves earth-WORMS! For I, the great ZIM will win your childish game and use the million dollars to take over your world! Mwa ha ha!
*End Confessional*
"So does anyone have any questions?" Chris asked. A few people raised their hands. "No questions? Good! Now let's find your cabins." Everyone followed behind the host as he walked them over to where the two badly cared for cabins stood. "Gophers you're in the east cabin and Bass you're in the west. You have an hour to settle in. Go!"
Gopher's cabin-boys side
The door opens and Phineas walks in carrying his bags with Baljeet beside him. "Check it out Baljeet! They sure tried hard to really give this place a retro camp look huh?" Behind him Timmy, Billy and Sheen walked in.
"I don't know Phineas…" The Indian boy answered uncertain. "I'm not sure that's what they were trying to do."
Edd walked in next and instantly had a slight freak-out in his head. "They don't really expect us to live in this shack do they?" He asked the others as he inspected the cabin. "I mean it's absolutely filthy! Not to mention badly put together. It's nearly as bad as Ed's room…"
"I'm just glad to get away from my parents." Timmy said putting his stuff on one of the beds. "And my evil babysitter of course."
"Aren't they going to be watching this?" Baljeet asked.
"Nah they spend most of their free time partying out on the town." The boy with the pink hat explained. "I don't think they watch that much TV."
"I call top bunk!" Billy said jumping on the bed above Timmy. It bounced a few times as he tested the springs.
"Hey I wanted that one!" Sheen said standing nearby.
"Don't worry Sheen," Phineas reassured him. "Baljeet and I will share so you can have the other bed all to yourself."
"Really? All mine? Whoo!" he ran over to the third bed as quick as he could as if he feared someone else might claim it.
Suddenly they heard a scream. The voice sounded female.
"What was that?" Edd asked concerned. Sheen shrugged while Billy fell off his bed onto the floor.
Bass' cabin- girls' side
Meanwhile in the girls' side of the bass cabin Pacifica let out a girlish scream. She along with Nazz, Misery, Isabella, Kuki and Libby had been picking where they would sleep (Pacifica insisting she get the last bed) when a cockroach crawled out from one of the beds.
"Gross!" The rich girl said jumping up on her bed. "Someone kill it!"
"Would you stop freaking out?" Libby said annoyed.
"Maybe someone should take it outside?" Nazz suggested.
Just then the Bass boys (who had heard the scream) ran over and entered the cabin. Dib and Dipper were in front with Buford right behind them. Zim and Carl were outside the cabin for different reasons. Zim because he didn't really care and Carl because he was scared.
"What is it?" Dib asked. "Is it an alien?"
"No, it must be something paranormal." Dipper suggested.
"It's a cockroach." Buford stated flatly. The bully tried to squish it with his boot but the bug scurried out of the way. Soon it turned to a free for all as the boys and girls each tried to step on it but missed.
Then the bug suddenly hid under Misery's bed. The dark girl had been quietly sitting on her bed watching until then. Before anyone could do anything else the bed suddenly broke and fell to the ground. Unfortunately the top half fell on top of her.
Everybody suddenly hurried to push it off of her. Luckily no one was on top of it at the time. "Are you okay?" Dib asked offering his hand to pull her up.
"As okay as I can be." She said taking his hand and pulling herself up. "But I can't say the same for that bug."
Buford pushed the bed up to see the squashed (and dead) cockroach. "Well I guess that takes care of your pest problem."
An hour later all twenty two pre-teens had made their way to the mess hall for lunch. They all stood in line with a tray in their hands waiting to get something to eat. This is where they met Total Drama's "chef", who they learned was called Chef Hatchet. They all immediately found him to be a very intimidating man.
"Listen up!" He called out as he began to explain his rules. "I serve it three times a day, and you'll eat it three times a day! Grab your tray, get your food, and sit your butts down NOW!"
The first two to be served were Cindy and Timmy who both looked nervous as Chef plopped a helping of slop on their trays. The blonde looked at it suspiciously. "Excuse me is this healthy?" Timmy looked at her like she had a death wish. Chef must've thought the same thing as he gave her a fearsome glare. "Uhh never mind! This is good!" They both ran off as quickly as they could.
A few minutes later Zim and Mandy were up next. The Irken shuddered as he saw the meal on his tray. "Your human food is disgusting! It sickens me!"
Mandy glanced down from the food on her tray up to Chef. "I think mine just moved." She told him.
Chef took out a big mallet and slammed it down on Mandy's food. Splashes of food flew all over the two tweens. "Ahhh!" Zim screamed. "It burns!" He dropped his tray to grab his face which was reacting negatively to the feel of the food. He then ran off.
"Thanks…" Mandy said ignoring the food on her face. She walked over to find a place to sit.
Isabella is seen sitting down at the Bass table slowly putting a spoon filled with food into her mouth. The second she does her face turns green. Next to her Libby poked hers only for it to hop off her plate and onto the ground. On the Gopher table Gaz ignores her tray completely choosing to play her game instead. Beside her Sheen is actually eating the food energetically while Mabel watches on amazed.
*Confessional*
Dipper: It's not food. I'm not sure what it is, but it's not food.
Buford: Prison food is better than this! Trust me.
Nazz: Is lunch supposed to be a challenge too? I think today's a good day to start my diet…
*End Confessional*
Ten minutes into "lunch" Chris Mclean walks into the mess hall. "Hey guys. Welcome to the main lodge. How's lunch?"
"Please tell me you brought a pizza with you so we don't have to eat this crud anymore." Helga asked him. Suddenly a large kitchen knife flew right by her head and imbedded itself in the wall.
"Ahh!" Kuki screamed. "I'll eat it just don't kill me!" Everyone else nodded in agreement with her.
Chris chuckled. "I just came to tell you all that your first challenge starts in one hour." After he said this he quickly walked out.
"Do you think the challenge will be difficult?" Edd asked.
"Nah," Libby reassured him. "It's the first one. How hard could it be?"
One hour later all twenty two of them were standing on top of a very tall cliff in their swimsuits.
"Oh crap," Libby said.
A/N: Reviews are appreciated. Sorry if you were hoping a certain character would appear and they didn't; I didn't want to put more than 22 people in. Part 2 should be out soon.
