The Ridonculous Race to your Heart

None Down, Nineteen to go! Part 1/Meeting you Again

It was a beautiful day in the city of Toronto, the sky was a pleasing blue with little to no clouds drifting slowly across the sky, and flocks of birds gracefully flew around the buildings in their way. The water moved swiftly under the bridge, with a boat riding against it. As the camera kept the focus on the scenery, the voice of a man could be heard, like he was there himself yet wasn't there in person, "This is Toronto, the capital of North America. Birthplace of funk and where the albino panther roams free!" The camera zooms in on the boat, an albino panther wearing a red collar, stands at the edge of the boat, roaring loud enough that even the camera picks up on the sound.

The camera cuts to a man who stands tall while being only 5'7. His wispy, caramel-colored hair stays unmoving despite being on top of a 4 story building while the wind was blowing. His dark brown eyes keep eye contact with the camera in front of him, moving his thin lips to a smile that screams "made for the camera", "Beneath my manly size 13 brogues, 18 teams are arriving at this historic train station, ready to embark on a race around the world," the camera zooms out to show the train station right below the man's feet. The cars zoom by at a slow pace, showing an obvious traffic jam taking place as packs of people move on the sidewalk.

The camera zooms back in for a full body shot of the man as before, "I'm your host, Don, and this is..." As Don pauses his sentence, the camera zooms in incredibly close to his face, showing his very, very white teeth to the camera as he smiles, "The Ridonculous Race!"

Owen and Noah sat in front of the camera, a backdrop of the world map right behind them. They were the 5th team to show up by train, the clip was of Noah looking annoyed while Owen looked the exact opposite. Their team name read Reality TV Pros! At the bottom of the screen.

"Noah and I met on Total Drama ," Owen started. Noah couldn't help but think it felt very much like those confessionals Chris made them do. He is just glad that it isn't in a bathroom, "and we've both been on tons of reality shows since then, like Meltdown Kitchen, and Scare Tractor and Fashionista Flip Flop--"

Noah quickly interrupted Owen before he could continue the very long list of reality shows they had been on (and failed at) before they were here longer than needed," Don't know how you got on that one," Owen, taking no offense to Noah's sarcastic comment, just chuckled joyfully.

"I'm just so psyched to be reunited with my little buddy! C'mere!" Before Noah had a chance to protest, Owen grabbed him out of his seat, hugging him tight while there was pain written all over the shorter boy's face as he let out a high-pitched (girlish) scream.

13 more teams and 26 contestants were introduced and stood with everyone else right beside Don, "And last, but certainly not least, Harold and Cody, both of them were former band members of the popular boy band: The Drama Brothers! Now known as Former Pop Star Sensations! Quite the mouthful that was."

As Harold and Cody made their way to everyone else, once they were in view they were swarmed by three other people who were all squealing and jumping in place.

"O-M-G!! I can't believe it's them! The Drama Brothers are right here in the flesh!" A tall girl stood right before them, getting close to their personal space. She had long hair almost as dark as the night sky, held up by two red ribbons in the form of pigtails. She wore a white button-down shirt with a red sweater over it that matched her ribbons. She wore a black mini-skirt to go with her knee-high socks and knee-high brown high-heel boots that made her look way taller than she was, "I need to cherish this moment forever!" She quickly took out her pink phone, holding it up high to get all three of them in the picture at the same time.
