Episode 1: “Lovely, Lovely, Lovely, Lovely, Lovely, Lovely Show!”
“Welcome, everyone out there in TV-land!” An attractive woman, standing outside a not-so-attractive building that seemed to be an abandoned hotel, greeted. The sign on the hotel reads “Hôtel qui est Cassé”. “I’m Tyra, here to host Total Drama Couples, a brand new reality show where hopeful romantic pairs will compete for the title of ‘greatest couple’ and a special surprise! Every two days, there will be a challenge that will test the couples’ teamwork, skill, and love. After each two challenges, observed by our talented judges, there will be an elimination ceremony. At this ceremony, all but one couple will receive one of these.” She explained, holding up a heart-shaped valentine. “The couple that does not receive this must walk down the Sidewalk of Shame to the Carriage of Losers and leave Total Drama Couples forever.” Tyra strolls into the run-down hotel and stops in the lobby, where three people lounge on the couches situated in the lobby. One is a brown-haired boy, somewhat tall and scribbling away in a journal. Another is a much shorter brown-haired boy, staring longingly at a picture of Gwen. The third and shortest of the trio is a girl, less than three feet tall, with orange hair, huge glasses, and pixie wings, eating a bowl of ravioli. “Here with me today,” Tyra explains, “are our three wonderful judges. Nalyd-” the tall boy waves, not looking up from his journal- “Matt-” the shorter boy snaps out of his trance seemingly induced by the picture of Gwen, blushes, and waves to the camera- “and Sunshine.”

“I’m a RAVIOLI PIXIE!!!!” The short girl explains in a scream, her right eye twitching.

“Yes.” Tyra reluctantly replies. “Anyway, these three will observe every challenge, and decide which couple is unworthy to win Total Drama Couples.”

Tyra strolls back outside the hotel. “Nine couples will be joining us here today,” she explains, “and the first is about to arrive.” With that, a somewhat worn-out limousine pulls up to the curb outside the abandoned hotel. “Our first couple was formed on reality show Total Drama Island four years ago, with the two being attracted to each other almost instantly after they met. Though the road to their relationship was a rocky one, filled with accidents and turn-offs, they’ve become practically inseparable. Everyone, please welcome Geoff and Bridgette!” With that, she opens the door of the limo, revealing Geoff and Bridgette in the back seat, Geoff in a suit and Bridgette in a simple black dress, making out. After a second, they realize they are on camera, and quickly stop, stepping out of the limo in a much less intimate position.

“Hi, Tyra!” Bridgette greets the host. “It’s…” She pauses to stare at the sad excuse for a hotel in front of them. “…um, sorta great to be here…”

“Is this where we’re staying?” Geoff questions.

“Yes, it is! Go inside and get comfortable in the lobby, while the other couples get here.” Bridgette and Geoff give each other a glance, and then reluctantly walk inside. Another beat-up limo pulls up as the first one leaves.

“This next couple was one no one expected on Total Drama Island.” Tyra explains. “They started off suddenly late in the game, only to end quickly, attempt to restart, fail, not care about each other for a while, and then started up once again. Yup, these two roller-coaster personalities definitely have had a roller-coaster relationship! Here they are, everyone… Izzy and Owen!” She opens the door of the limo, and Izzy, in a black dress, cartwheels out. Owen, having trouble fitting through the door, follows in a tight-fitting suit.

“WOOHOO!” Owen screams, picking Izzy up onto his shoulder. “This is AWESOME!!! I can’t believe we get to be on a show again! So AWESOME!!!! Is this where we’re staying? AWESOME!!!”

“I like chickens!” Izzy declares, her eye twitching.

“That’s… lovely, Izzy.” Tyra chuckles. “Why don’t you two go wait for the rest of the competitors in the lobby.” Cheering again, Owen runs into the hotel as his and Izzy’s limo drives away. Shortly afterwards, another drives up.

“This next couple, arguably, put the ‘drama’ in ‘Total Drama Island’. These two lovebirds hit it off from the start, and stumbled over a rocky road until they finally hit a wall late in the series. By the end, however, they reunited and began officially dating… only to fall onto a rockier path in season two that led to their breaking up. In the end, though, their love for each other won out, they made up, and are here now. Please give a big round of applause to… Gwen and Trent!” Tyra opened the door of the limo, and Gwen stepped out, wearing a short black dress, followed shortly by Trent, looking amazing in a suit.

“Hey. Good to be here.” Trent greeted Tyra, placing his hand on Gwen’s shoulder.

“Please tell me we’re not staying here…” Gwen mumbled, staring at the run-down hotel.

“Sorry, sweetie, we are.” Tyra apologized. “It’s all we could afford. Why don’t you two go wait in the lobby with the others?” Gwen sighed, and she and Trent walked into the hotel. “Matt will be glad she’s here…” Tyra chuckled. Gwen and Trent’s limo drove away, and another drove up.

“This next unlikely couple has long been a fan-favorite.” Tyra explained. “A wonderful example of ‘opposites attract’, this bad-boy and good-girl pair shocked viewers and fellow competitors alike when they finally gave in to each other. Though they’ve hit some rough parts, they’ve stayed loyal to each other through thick and thin. Everyone, please welcome… Duncan and Courtney!” With that, she opened the door of the limo. Courtney, wearing a short, simple black dress, stepped out and grinned sheepishly as she waved to the camera. Duncan, much more relaxed than his girlfriend, stepped out after her. He wore a suit, but looked like he’d given up on wearing it right halfway through putting it on.

“Hi, Tyra. It’s nice to be here.” She stared at the poor excuse for a hotel in front of her. “Um… the application said we’d be staying at a luxury hotel.”

“Well… this WAS one, once…” Tyra rationalized, grinning apologetically.

Duncan said nothing, just wrapped his arms around Courtney and whispered something to her. Her face turned red, and she playfully smacked her boyfriend.

“Well, the other couples are waiting in the lobby. Why don’t you join them?” The two somewhat reluctantly walked into the run-down hotel.

“Holy ravioli, DUNCAN!!!!” Sunshine’s voice screamed from the lobby.

“Oh, great. Not her…!” Duncan’s voice replied.

“Matt, help me hold her back!” Nalyd’s voice commanded.

“Gwen…” Matt’s voice slurred, obviously ignoring his fellow judge.

“Well…” Tyra chuckled after listening to this madness, “I won’t be going in there for a while.” With that, the next limo pulled up to the curb.

“The man of this next couple shared no romantic relationship with the girls on Total Drama Island.” Tyra explained. “However, later on and off-screen, he ended up meeting and dating the girl of his dreams- oddly enough, the niece of Total Drama Island’s host. The two are together to this day, and it’s that loving relationship that’s gotten them to this show. Put your hands together for… DJ and Christin!” She pulls open the door, and Christin, wearing a simple black dress, steps out, grinning shyly. DJ, in a suit that emphasizes his large stature, steps out after her, looking huge next to his short, thin girlfriend.

“Hi.” Christin states simply in a tiny voice, obviously not used to the attention she’s receiving now on national TV.

“Good to be here!” DJ continues for her, looking around. “Uh, you sure this is the right place? It looked different on the application.”

“Well, the one on the application, it turns out, was out of our budget.” Tyra explains. “Why don’t you go wait in the lobby?” After they’ve walked out of earshot, Tyra whispers, “Poor guys…” seemingly remembering the chaos previously happening in the lobby. Another limo pulls up to the curb.

“Our next couple arguably progressed the fastest on Total Drama Island. The two were flirting in the first episode, sneaking off together by the third, and making out in the bathrooms by the fifth! Though they’ve had some slight problems- mostly, an apparent inability on the girl’s part to remember her man- they’ve stuck together. Let’s get a round of applause for… Lindsay and Tyler!” With that, she pulls open the door of the limo. Lindsay, in an attractive black dress, steps out, followed by Tyler. To match his suit, he seems to have attempted to tame his shaggy mop of hair, and succeeded about halfway.

“Hey, Tyra.” Tyler puts his arm around Lindsay and greets the host. “It’s nice to be here.”

“Welcome, Lindsay, Tyler.” Tyra replies. “The other couples are waiting in the lobby. Why don’t you join them?”

“Wait.” Lindsay comments. “You’re Tyler?” Tyler sighs and walks into the hotel with her. Another limo pulls up as the one before it leaves.

“After disappointing and annoying his teammates on Total Drama Island, most never would have thought this sarcastic, pessimistic boy would get himself a girl. Shockingly, once done with the competition, he found a girl just as brainy and sarcastic as him. After several failed attempts to woo her, these two finally got together. Would you all please welcome, in my opinion, the most shocking couple yet… Andrea and Noah!” She opens the door of the limo. Both are sitting in the backseat of the limo, ignoring both Tyra and each other, reading books. Noah wears a suit, slightly loose-fitting due to his short stature, and Andrea wears a simple black dress that falls to her knees. After a moment, they mark their places, close their books, and step out of the limo.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Both say at the same time as they look at the abandoned hotel.

“Quit copying me.” Noah mumbles to his girlfriend, seemingly annoyed.

“You’re copying me.” Andrea retorts in her thick Puerto Rican accent.

“Oh, so mature of you!” Noah comments sarcastically.

“Yeah, like you were being so mature accusing me of copying you in the first place!” Andrea replies with equal sarcasm. The two then turn their backs to each other, glaring at the ground.

“Well.” Tyra chuckles awkwardly. “Would the happy couple please go wait in the lobby?” Still looking away from each other, they start walking towards the hotel. Just before they enter the hotel, Noah hesitates and turns to Andrea.

“Andrea? You know I didn’t mean that, right? It’s just sometimes, when I talk…”

“I know.” Andrea assures him, smiling. They put their arms around each other and walk into the lobby. The shouting of judges and couples alike, which had quietly continued in the background for some time after Duncan and Courtney’s arrival, stops instantly as they lay eyes on the unexpected couple.

“All right, then.” Tyra laughs. “Something tells me that happens a lot.” Another limo pulls up to the curb.

“This couple was virtually nonexistent in season one of Total Drama Island.” Tyra explains. “But in season two, the villainous nature of one and the lovestruck innocence of the other caused them to fall into a half-false relationship. After a while, however, the villainous nature was lost, and the fake love became real love. And now this trick-turned-real couple is here. Please give a warm welcome to… Justin and Beth!” Tyra opens the limo door. Beth, wearing an old black dress, steps out of the limo, waving to Tyra. Justin, looking stunning in a suit, also steps out, sending Tyra into a trance-like state.

“Hey, Tyra.” Justin casually greets the host.

“Uuuuhhhh…” The entranced Tyra replies. Justin shrugs and walks into the hotel with Beth. Once he leaves, Tyra snaps out of her hypnotic state and gives an embarrassed laugh. The final limousine pulls up.

“It’s arguable that no one, not even the lovebirds themselves, suspected this next couple. The start of it was sudden, the romance was brief, and the breakup came quickly, though it took… quite a while for it to sink in. Strangely enough, these two have since gotten back together! For reasons I’ve yet to deduce…” Tyra adds quietly. “Please welcome our final couple… Harold and LeShawna!” She opens the door of the limo. Harold stumbles out awkwardly in a suit, followed by a confident-looking LeShawna in a black dress.

“Wuzzup, Tyra? Good to see you, girl!” LeShawna greets with her usual enthusiasm. Harold stands quietly behind her, looking around the area.

“So, instead of a luxury resort, we’re staying at a run-down, abandoned hotel?” He asks in a raspy voice.

“That’s right.” Tyra admits.

“Yes!” Harold exclaims after a pause. LeShawna rolls her eyes and leads her boyfriend into the hotel. Tyra shrugs and walks in after them as the final limo drives away.

“Alright, couples, listen up!” Tyra commands as she walks into the now-filled lobby. The gentle chatter fades as attention turns to Tyra and things turn more normal, or at least as normal as things could be, considering the fact that Sunshine is clinging to Duncan’s arm and Matt is sitting awkwardly close to Gwen. After a moment of taking in the slightly off-center group, Tyra explains to the couples the rules of the game.

“…and once you have been eliminated, you are out of the game for good.” She finishes, a few couples listening intently, a few watching her ramble on with a bored expression, and one trying to get a certain pixie to stop hugging his Mohawk.

“Okay, so now that you all know how the game works, I bet you just want to go relax.” The couples nod robotically, which, sadly, is enough to knock Sunshine off Duncan’s head and onto the floor.

“I still love you!” She declares from her awkward position on the ground.

Nalyd rolls his eyes and mutters to himself.

“Anyway…” Tyra chuckles awkwardly. “On this floor of the hotel are the lobby, pool, gym, and spa.” A few heads pop up at the mention of a spa. “Well, what remains of the spa, that is.” A few disappointed heads sink back down. “The second floor has the dining services.”

“I get to run that!” Sunshine declares, picking herself off the floor and dusting herself off.

“She makes a mean ravioli.” Matt explains.

“And no one else wanted to do it.” Nalyd adds.

“Moving on…” Tyra gives the judges a look. “Your rooms will all be on the third floor. Our rooms-” Tyra gestures to herself and the judges- “are on the fourth and fifth floors.”

“But wasn’t there a sixth floor?” Beth asks.

“We’re not gonna get into that.” The host and judges explain simultaneously. A few of the couples exchange glances.

“Well, that’s all for now. Go pick your rooms!” Tyra wraps up the information session.

“Steer clear of room 28-B.” Sunshine adds. “I don’t wanna talk about why.” Her eyes seem to glow for a minute, and she shudders fearfully. There is a short pause, and then the couples start upstairs to pick their rooms. The lobby is quiet for a brief moment.

“Hey, what IS in 28-B?” Matt asks after a moment.

“I said I don’t wanna talk about it.” Sunshine repeats, one eye twitching at the memory. Tyra shrugs, and Nalyd pulls out his journal.

“Room 9-A, Trent?” Gwen laughs as the couples pick their rooms.

“What can I say?” He replies. “If there’s one thing that hasn’t changed, it’s that nine is my lucky number.” Gwen rolls her eyes playfully.

“I’ll let you choose, Beth.” Justin states, giving Beth a stunning grin. Beth sighs and swoons, seeming almost ready to pass out.

In the meantime, Andrea and Noah fight over whether they should take room 24 or room 30. While they argue, Beth decides on room 24-A, and Lindsay leads Tyler into 30-B while mumbling about how she never realized he was Tyler all along. Oblivious to the fact their argument is now pointless, Andrea and Noah continue to shout at each other.

“You two are like an old married couple.” Duncan laughs as he and Courtney pass by.

“No, we’re NOT!” They retort at the same time. After realizing what they’ve done, they glance at each other and start laughing. They then place their arms around each other and walk into the closest room to finish the argument. Luckily for them, the closest room happened to be 28-A, with the dreaded 28-B as a close second.

“Don’t take room 31.” Owen warns the remaining couples. “It only has one bed.”

“We’ll take it.” Duncan offers jokingly. Courtney smacks him playfully.

“Room 42!” Harold declares as he and LeShawna scan the area.

“42?” LeShawna repeats.

“The answer to life, the universe, and everything.” Harold explains. LeShawna rolls her eyes, but allows the pick.

“I wanna pick!” Izzy declares to Owen. She quickly proceeds to cover her eyes, run in circles, and smack into the door of room 16-B. She opens her eyes afterwards. “This one!” She decides. Owen shrugs and walks in with her.

“Hey,” DJ comments, coming out of one of the rooms. “36-B has stuff in the fridge.”

“Called it!” Duncan declares, dragging Courtney in. DJ and Christin shrug and begin to walk away, only to hear Duncan’s voice scream, “AAAAH! What IS that?!”

“I said there was stuff in the fridge.” DJ replied. “I didn’t say it was food.” Christin chuckles in spite of herself as she opens the door to room 12-A. DJ gives her a nod of approval and walks in, though Christin hesitates, thinking.

“Wait…” she comments. “This hotel is called ‘Hôtel qui est Cassé’, right?”

“Yeah.” Noah, who is standing in the hallway chatting with Harold, replied. “Why?

“That means ‘Hotel which is broken’ in French.” Christin explains. A dead silence follows.

“Well…” Gwen comments after a moment. “That makes sense.” Almost on cue, a piece of the roofing breaks off and falls to the ground outside. Finding this a good end to their conversation, the couples retreat into their rooms for the night. The only people left in the hallways are Geoff and Bridgette, who have been quietly looking at the different rooms the entire time. Eventually, they reach a room near the end of the hallway.

“Room 50?” Bridgette offers.

“Works for me.” Geoff agrees. They walk in, only to fall to the ground making out before even remembering to shut the door.

Later that night, all is calm in the run-down Hôtel qui est Cassé. That is, until Matt’s scream echoes from the third floor. “HOLY—Oh, MAN, that’s just WRONG!!!!!”

“I told you not to look in room 28-B!!!” Sunshine’s voice shouts.
