Misunderstood
Whew! That Proposed Dawn/Scott spinoff I promised a whole time ago is finally here!
The setting: A few days after the finale of Total Drama Vengeance in June/July 2012. That brings me on the following subject, if you ignored the capitalized warning when you clicked on this story. This story takes place after Total Drama Vengeance, another story of mine and requires you to read it to get a clue of everything! (But I hope that it will not be a waste of time, I tell ya!)
And if you haven't read that too, the main couple is Dawn/Scott with some other couples hinted as well.
This story is going to be a little more serious than Total Drama Vengeance, but mild comical undertones remain.
This story is rated T for the usual, that rating my change in some chapters though.
And now…The moment you've all been waiting for (Or not if you came by this story by accident)…Misunderstood! Read, Review and on top of this, Enjoy!
Scott laid in his bed. The morning sun was shining through his bedroom window as the redhead stared at the ceiling of the trailer, contemplating the course his life has taken after Total Drama Vengeance. Scott was supposed to be happy, or at least to be relieved. After all, between TDRI and TDV he was broadcasted internationally as a sociopath who used everybody for his own good with no inkling of consideration for the consequences ormoral standing, and he was likewise treated like a pariah. But things certainly had changed for the good for Scott after Total Drama Vengeance. His neighbors at the trailer park stopped bothering and mistreating him and the sales at his father's car dealership had skyrocketed in comparison to when TDRI was broadcasted. But despite all of this, there was still one thing that irked Scott.
And that thing was his relationship with Dawn.
Scott knew that he was yet again punished by fate for even attempting to come up with a scheme again, although he greatly doubted the fairness of said punishment. After all, Scott wasn't sure what hurt the most, being mutilated by a mutant shark, or losing the first girl who looked past your devious self thanks to the input of another. It didn't bother him that they departed on good terms (In the end), but Scott specifically found that he was 'cheated out' of his relationship. Because if Jo hadn't told Dawn about Scott's former intentions, then Scott and Dawn would still be together, or at least Scott hoped so, as he knew very well that Dawn would have figured it out sooner or later. But this led to Scott wondering something else; would've it been different if she found out herself instead of Jo telling her, or would it have went the same way then? Scott realized that it seemed very untrustworthy if Dawn would have found out herself.
Scott then came to the conclusion that the best would have been to tell her himself when he had the chance, but did he forgot to tell her or was it Scott's nature to keep it a secret? Scott decided not to break his head over it anymore and to get out of bed.
When Scott had dressed in his usual attire and walked into the kitchen (Which was right beside his room), he found his dad, or Pappy baking pancakes. Scott's father had brown hair, was balding, sported a small patch of stubble on his face, was a little heavy set and was currently dressed in a grungy cream colored tank top that slightly revealed his potbelly along with brown track pants. But Scott knew that his dad had yet to get himself cleaned up before he went to his used car business.
''Morning Pappy.'' Scott greeted his dad rather numbly voiced as he patted his back before he sat down at the small table in the kitchen.
''Morning kid, haven't slept well?'' His father asked. ''I've took some eggs from the chicken pen for ya!'' his father continued before Scott could answer.
Scott breathed in deeply. ''No better morning smells than pancakes and moldy ceiling!'' He said with mild enthusiasm as his father shoved a pancake down on his plate and sat down himself too.
''But you haven't answered my question yet Scott.'' His father said before he took a bite of his pancake.
''You didn't gave me the opportunity.'' Scott retorted, taking a bite as well.
''Well, take it now then!''
Scott sighed. ''Dad, I've been thinking about my run on Total Drama,'' Scott began.
''We already talked that over kid. It wasn't your fault, we should have expected that they love to exaggerate your worst qualities. And the drop in car sales had nothing to do with it!'' Pappy assured him.
''Oh good, because it didn't want to talk about those details. But thank you for reminding me about them!'' Scott sarcastically told him.
''Sorry kiddo.'' His father apologized before he took another bite.
''No prob.'' Scott told him. ''But to be more specific, I've been thinking about Dawn and me.'' Scott said before he cut off a small piece from the whole pancake.
Scott's father thought for a moment. ''Uh…Dawn, help me remember again, that was the girl that put you in a bad daylight with your then girlfriend right?''
''No, Dawn WAS my girlfriend.'' Scott corrected him with subtle annoyance.
''Oh.'' His father muttered guiltily before he laid another pancake on his plate.
''You see Pappy, Dawn had changed me quite a bit, and I hadn't experienced that since…Well since Janis!'' Scott explained.
Pappy looked at Scott rather doubting. ''Are you sure about that? I mean I'm sure that Janis changed you, but Dawn? I don't know, I…'' Pappy tried to explain until he saw a fat rat on the floor, chewing on a piece of pancake. ''Scott! Grab the bat and smash that vermin!'' Scott's father whispered to him as not to startle the rodent. Scott grabbed the bat that was conviently placed behind Scott's chair and prepared to smash it, but as soon as he held the bat above his head, he could not force himself to kill the rat. Scott instead shooed the rat and sat down on his chair, wiping his face in disgust.
''See what I mean?'' Scott asked as he pointed the end of his bat out to where the rat once sat before he put it back to where he got it.
''Are you sure she hasn't jinxed you? She seems like the kind of girl that can do such things!'' Pappy asked rather suspicious. ''You've smashed awfully little rats since you've came back from Total Drama Vengeance.'' Pappy added.
''Every time I tried to hit them, I thought what Dawn would think and saw her angry scowl in front of me!'' Scott admitted rather sad and a little ashamed.
''But why?'' His father asked, seeking confirmation to what he believes is wrong.
''Because I still like like her!'' Scott admitted. ''I feel like I'm cheated out of my relationship with her! Thanks to Jo!''
Scott's father thought about it for a second ''You're saying thanks to Jo, but remember that you're not completely free of blame yourself kiddo!'' Pappy mildly lectured him. ''If you just confessed your sins to her…'' Pappy tried to explain.
''FYI, before you go all catholic on me, I already realized that!'' Scott almost yelled out in frustration.
''Hey, I can help you or I can just let you be here, your choice, but you're not yelling at me Scott!'' His father lectured him while pointing a finger in his direction.
Scott let out a disappointed/tired sigh. ''You're right, sorry Pappy.'' Scott apologized.
''No problem. But maybe it is best to tell her how you feel about them.''
''What are you thinking about?'' Scott asked with mild curiosity as he leaned over the table slightly.
''I'm thinking about going to her place, spending some time and when the moment is right, Boom! Tell her that you still like her beyond friendship!'' Pappy explained rather lively.
''You seem to have experience with it!'' Scott noted.
''How'd you think that I told that mother of yours how I felt about her?'' Pappy replied before he thought about said moment. ''Lord wasn't I stupid back then! I should have known that she was a two face that gets attracted to the rich guys!'' Pappy mumbled rather hateful as he trailed off.
''You'd think that would work?''
Scott's father snapped back out of his memory and nodded positively before he checked the time. ''I have some stuff to do before I get to work, I'm sure that what you do will be right. Have a good day kid!'' Pappy assured him as he took the last of his pancake and threw it into his mouth before he walked into the bathroom.
Scott entered his favorite (And closest by) Internet Café that was known as 'The bitty bean'
''Hi Scott.'' A guy with black hair covering his face wearing a white T-shirt with brown sleeves and the logo of the internet café lazily greeted him.
''Hello Alfred.'' Scott greeted back even lazily.
''Back to watch some fuzzy stuff?'' Alfred asked without a remote hint of sarcasm.
''Yup, starring your mother!'' Scott replied sarcastically.
Alfred sighed tiredly. ''Real original comeback Scott.''
Scott sat down behind one of the PC's and turned it on, going directly to his E-mail. He opened a new mail and began to type the following.
To: ChrisMcleanawesomeman
Subject: Dawn's address.
Hello ignorant host.
Despite my unappealing intro, I humbly ask you for Dawn's current domestic address, seeing that you have all our files and all.
Scott thought of a way to convince Chris to hand over the information. He looked rather doubting at the computer screen before he hesitantly wrote further.
To: ChrisMcleanawesomeman
Subject: Dawn's address.
Hello irritating host and former cash-cow.
Despite my unappealing intro, I humbly ask you for Dawn's current domestic address, seeing that you have all our files and all.
Do not forget that the press LOVES attention like this, 'For what reasons is Scott going to visit Dawn?'. Can you see the headlines already? I certainly do! And remember that they also PAY GENEROUSLY for this kind of information.
Somehow, I look forward to your reaction.
Subtle greeting…
Your favorite formerly devious redhead,
Scott Hayden.
Scott looked at the E-mail in great doubt. He knew that he had to convince Chris with arguments like this to hand the information over, but at the same time he knew he might regret doing this in the future. Scott decided to sell his soul and sent the E-mail to the host. Scott switched the PC off.
''Later Alfred.'' Scott greeted as he walked towards the door, with Alfred looking in annoyance at the leaving redhead.
''You know there's a tip jar here butthole!'' Alfred yelled after Scott as he pointed downwards on said jar.
''You don't deserve it.'' Scott said before he closed the door.
Later that day, Scott came back to check for replies. He opened his mail and saw the following response from Chris.
To: ScottHayden1995
Reply to: Dawn's address
Hey there former tool of suffering!
I'm going to be straight up with you, when I read the first line of your mail, it made Chef and me laugh and Chef suggested to post it on 2gag. But then you mentioned the money part, and let it be coincidental that I need a little money for the upcoming season. So here you go:
42 Hollowtree road
North Dundee SA K9Z 0Z5
And because I'm still awesome, here's her E-mail Address.
DawnBjórgun
You're welcome.
P.S, Don't be surprised when the paparazzi show up, I informed them about your little trip already! :D
P.S.S, Don't forget to watch Total Drama Superior starting in a few weeks!
Sincerely,
The host with the most known as Chris Mclean.
Scott placed his palms on his forehead and leaned back in his chair. He knew that Chris would do this, but it was the only way. Scott then pulled himself together again when he told himself that this was a problem for later and began to type a new E-mail for Dawn.
And that was the first chapter!
I apologize for the E-mail adresses, but wouldn't allow me to write them down, think of a nice (Or funny) mail browser yourself!.
Could you find any of the references?
Anyway, what Scott is going to write to Dawn and her reaction is among the things you can read about in the next chapter!
And if you feel like it, please, leave a review!
Tot dan.
