Well, after debating for a bit, I decided that for my first story, I'd just do a collection of drabbles I've written. Hope you like it. :)

Chris McLean stepped up the stairs to the attic sluggishly. He had to clean it, and he was more than just a little scared to do so. He noticed one box with TDI written on it in marker, he shrugged and opened it. He pulled out two flags, one red, with a fish on it, and one green, with a Gopher-like creature on it.
Oh, the memories. He could remember that first day with perfect clarity. The campers as they arrived, oblivious to the horror, the challenges, and the friendships they would discover soon enough. He remembered assigning the teams, and handing them the same flags he was holding now. He remembered as the teams became smaller and smaller, until they dissolved, and it was every camper for themself. He missed those kids terribly.
Chris put the flags aside, and pulled out the next object, a photo album. The first page was a picture of them just as the dock broke. He chuckled, that was a fun memory. There was a better picture next, after the dock was repaired, taken a little before the first camper was voted off. But, this was when they barely knew each other, the next few pages were filled with snapshots of each challenge. Then, Chris found the one he was looking for. The last group picture. It was taken at one of their reunions. He smiled.
At the bottom were Katie and Sadie, laying out, one arm waving at the camera, the other hands were interlocked. BFFLs. Katie and Sadie had stayed that way, despite that they moved apart, and couldn't see each other everyday. Mainly because Katie had married Noah, and Sadie had married Justin. The latter marriage shocked them all.
In the center was the winner, Owen, Izzy was on his shoulder, and DJ and Geoff were leaning against him. Geoff's arm around Bridgette, and DJ's around, shockingly, Heather. Lindsay was on the other side of Heather, and they were, even more shockingly, smiling at each other, they had made peace the day this picture was taken. Lindsay was hugging Tyler, Chris had shown her to him to make sure she was hugging the right camper, and thus, didn't get beat up by one of the other girls. Beth and Cody were on the other side of them, arms around each other's shoulders. Chris had heard they'd gotten together a little after this picture was made, and that Lindsay and Beth were still close friends.
On the other side of Bridge and Geoff, were Duncan and Courtney, he had his arms around her waist, but she was pointing at him accusingly, a perfect way to show their relationship. On the other side of the yin-yang couple, was Gwen and Trent. Trent had his guitar in one hand, and one arm around Gwen, who was smiling brilliantly. Shocking on a Goth. Noah and Justin were on the other side of them, turned towards each-other, and glaring daggers. Chris chuckled to himself at the memory of that, and laughed louder at the next two. Ezekiel was cowering from an angry Eva, who had a dumbbell hanging an inch above the prairie boy, threatening to drop it if he did anything wrong. Last, but certainly not least, were Leshawna and Harold. Leshawna was hugging Harold so tightly he was turning a little blue from lack of oxygen, but he was still smiling.
Chris smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. He missed those kids. He missed hanging around Playa de Losers, hearing Courtney chase Duncan across the plaza, her screeching, and him yelling, "Come on, Princess! I didn't mean it!"
Watching Izzy and Owen chow down on the awesome buffet, and watching Bridgette and Geoff plastered to each other in the hot tub.
Katie and Sadie's squeals, Harold trying to please Leshawna, whatever way he could, Trent playing the guitar, and Gwen listening and watching him play.
Chris couldn't stop a few tears from spilling from his eyes. You know, he was pretty sure that the contract said he could bring them back for one more season. . .
Well, Chris is out of character, but, hey, Chris has grown attached to those campers, and dregging up all these memories kind of shocked him. :)
Hope you liked it and feel free to review, actually, please review, I want to know what you think of this.
