Total Drama Island: Return To Wawanakwa

Episode 1: Back To Basics- First Challenge Pt.1

Five minutes have passed by since the start of the challenge, and all of the campers split up into small groups. They all agreed that by splitting up, they could cover more ground, and likely find a key faster. Alternatively, by splitting up, the campers were able to surround themselves with the people that they wanted to be in an alliance with. Thus, when the time came to vote someone off, they would have at least a handful of people who wouldn't vote them off.

While many of the campers exited the main camp area to look for a key, Amalia and Callie elected to look around the mansion, believing that Chris would hide the key in the most unexpected spot. They looked all around the edges of the mansion, but they didn't find a key. But they weren't about to give up. At least, Amalia wasn't.

"Alright, I'm going to grab the rope up here, drop it down to you, and you'll climb up," Amalia explained as she crawled across the roof.

"Are you sure this is safe?" Callie asked, sensing danger.

"Don't worry, I do this all the time," Amalia assured as she lowered the rope down to Callie.

"Back home, I sneak out onto my roof every other night. It gives me such an adrenaline rush! I mean, unless I have a test the next day, then I don't. I can't afford to fail, right?"- Amalia

"I'm scared..." Callie admitted as she slowly climbed up the rope.

"You've got it! Just don't look down!" Amalia insisted as she held the rope tightly.

"Alright..." Callie muttered as she slowly inched her way up the rope, eventually leading her to the top where she completed her summit.

"I did it!" Callie exclaimed, jumping in celebration.

"Careful!" Amalia warned, grabbing Callie by the shoulders, "You don't want to fall off, right?"

"Yeah, thanks, hehe," Callie thanked, giggling quietly, "Hey, considering that no one is around us, do you think, like, we could agree to an alliance?"

"Oh yeah, absolutely," Amalia agreed with urgency.

"Yay!" Callie cheered.

"Back home, I wouldn't say that I have a lot of friends. Being homeschooled makes it a bit hard. To find someone as open and encouraging as Amalia is so relieving! To feel like I have someone here that genuinely cares for me makes me feel so happy!"- Callie

"Have you found anything?" Amalia asked.

"Nothing," Callie answered with a sense of disappointment in her voice.

In all fairness, the roof was pretty big. Under it rested ten bedrooms, four bathrooms, a spa, a luxurious living room, dining room, and kitchen. For a mini-mansion, it was very well-build, considering that they were on a show notorious for having a low quality of living.

"Well, that's the edge," Callie reported, having reached the edge of the roof.

"I guess he didn't hide it up here," Amalia rationalized.

"Well, where to next?" Callie asked, seeking guidance, "Where would Chris hide a key?"

"Oh, I think I have an idea..." Amalia revealed as she walked past Callie with a mischievous expression on her face, "Follow me..."

"I've got a bad feeling about this..." Callie muttered to herself as she followed Amalia.

On the other side of the island, Katelyn attentively paced through the woods, looking for anything significant. Devin, wanting the chance to talk to Katelyn, followed closely behind. Aaron, not wanting Devin to get rejected, followed them both.
