Episode 1: Total Drama, Freshly Baked

The salty sea breeze carried the scent of wet sand, tropical flowers, and... severe property damage.

On the shore of a jagged, unnamed tropical island, twenty-seven cookies lay tangled in a massive pile of limbs, crumbs, and crushed capes. They had all fallen asleep in their own kingdoms, beds, or offices, only to wake up face-first in the dirt.

"Ugh... my dough feels like it was left in the proofer overnight," Espresso Cookie groaned, pushing Latte Cookie's massive hat off his face.

"My hair! My glorious, perfectly sculpted hair!" Madeleine Cookie wailed, instantly pulling out a handheld mirror that was miraculously unbroken.

"Silence, contestants!"

A booming voice rang out from a makeshift wooden stage nearby. Standing behind a microphone podium was Gelato Trio Cookie. He was frantically adjusting a host's headset with one hand, holding a clipboard with another, and using a third hand to flip a switch on a massive spotlight.

"Welcome to Last Cookie Standing!" Gelato Trio shouted, flashing a theatrical, overworked smile. "I am your host, your producer, your safety inspector, and your caterer, Gelato Trio Cookie! And yes, before you ask, I absolutely kidnapped every single one of you from your daily lives to play my game for a grand prize of one million crystals!"

The beach erupted into immediate, furious shouting.

"You did WHAT?!" Croissant Cookie screeched, her wrench sparking with raw rage. "I was in the middle of calibrating the Time Rift! Do you have any idea what Timekeeper Cookie is going to do to this timeline when she realizes I'm missing?! She loves me, you absolute scoop of melted dairy! She will unmake your birth!"

"How dare you!" Caramel Arrow Cookie drew her bow, her eyes flashing. "The Dark Cacao Kingdom requires my protection! I do not have time for your childish beach games!"

"Excuse me, unrefined peasant," Clotted Cream Cookie stepped forward, brushing sand off his immaculate coat. "I am the Consul of the Crème Republic. This is an international kidnapping incident! My security detail will have you in chains by nightfall!"

"Hey! Let me at 'em!" Chili Pepper Cookie yelled, cracking her knuckles. "I was this close to stealing the royal treasury before I blacked out!"

"Whoa, whoa, everyone calm down!" Fire Spirit Cookie stepped in front of Agar Agar Cookie, who was currently staring at Gelato Trio with a blank, terrifying hunger. "Listen, buddy, I don't care about your crystals, but if my adopted daughter gets cranky and eats your sound equipment, that's on you."

"Can I eat him?" Agar Agar whispered, her jelly-like appendages twitching. "He looks... sweet."

"No, Agar Agar, we don't eat the host," Fire Spirit sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

[CONFESSIONAL TAPES]

Croissant Cookie: (Slamming her fist on the wooden outhouse wall) "I just want to go home to my wife! Timekeeper is probably tearing through the fabric of reality looking for me right now. But since I'm stuck here... I'm going to crush these challenges so fast your dough will spin!"

Black Sapphire Cookie: (Adjusting his eye-shaped microphone, smirking at the camera) "Kidnapped? Oh, please. This is the best publicity I've had all year. The rumors I am going to start in these cabins... it's going to be exquisite."

Candy Apple Cookie: (Holding her hands together, looking sweet and innocent) "I'm just a little cookie, so I hope everyone treats me gently! (Her expression instantly drops into a terrifying, cold glare) If anyone tries to vote me off, I will personally ensure they never see their kingdom again."
