This is my first story. It takes place during TDWT. DJ apologizes to Harold about helping Duncan and Geoff to play pranks on him during the first season after Harold asks DJ why someone kindhearted like him would help.

My Apologies

While the plane was heading towards its next destination after leaving Egypt, Harold arose from his seat beside DJ and headed towards the bathroom. Just two hours ago, Duncan and Ezekiel were the first contestants booted from the plane. Harold was somewhat glad to be participating in a third season and hoped he would win this time. Leshawna was visiting Gwen in first class and Bridgette was sleeping. "Thank goodness Duncan is gone because he probably would have started playing pranks on me again," Harold thought. After using the bathroom, Harold returned to his seat. DJ then remarked, "I wish that Geoff and Duncan were here to talk to." When he heard those names, Harold instantly thought about something he always wondered about ever since the second season ended. He decided that he would just get it over with and just ask DJ right now.

"DJ, could I ask you something," Harold asked his muscular teammate. DJ responded, "What is it?" Harold cleared his throat. "During our first season, why did you help those troublemakers Duncan and Geoff play those childish pranks on me about leaving my underwear all over the cabin? I'm surprised that someone nice like you would help them, especially that miscreant Duncan, and I definitely know Duncan couldn't have threatened someone your size into helping." DJ pondered the question for a moment then responded. "The reason why I went along with them was because they said that you needed to learn a lesson about leaving your dirty underwear all over the cabin."

Then Harold responded, "I get it," then released a sigh, "I shouldn't be surprised because it's so easy for that Duncan to corrupt anybody." DJ then said, "Harold, would you accept my apology? I'm sorry for helping them." Harold then accepted DJ's apology. At that moment Leshawna returned and Harold chatted with her for awhile before settling down to get some sleep.
