I was bored, and decided to do this iPod 10 song shuffle thing. I don't plan for them to be that long, as I'm gonna do it all in one sitting; updated every time I finish a drabble. Involves crack and fanon pairings. So, I may as well start, and see where to go with this.
First song: Goodbye to Romance, by Ozzy Osbourne
Drabble: Lonely and heart-broken, Duncan reflects back on his time with Total Drama Island… and runs into someone unexpected.
Who would've thought that the juvenile delinquent that took reality television by storm some ten years ago would end up like this? Duncan sure didn't. Could anyone have been able to warn the criminal that Courtney would soon lose interest in him? Maybe not.
As he walked the streets in his only clothes, the same ones he wore on Total Drama Island, Duncan suddenly passed in front of a TV store, when a report caught his attention.
"Yes, it's official; from the hit reality show, Total Drama Island, stars Gwen and Trent are getting married this spring…"
Duncan stopped to stare at the screen, looking at his old friends. With a sigh, he stayed glued to the spot, remembering back to their time on the island.
Yesterday has been and gone
Tomorrow will I find the sun
Or will it rain?
Everybody's having fun
Except me, I'm the lonely one
I live in shame
I say goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end
He wasn't sure how, but they found him. A letter from Trent and Gwen was sent to Duncan, asking that he come to the wedding for old time's sake. The criminal sighed. They hadn't heard yet of his and Courtney's separation. He couldn't blame them; he lost contact with them years ago.
As Duncan walked the streets, he was stopped by a young woman that seemed all too familiar.
"Duncan? Is that you?"
"Wait… Bridgette?" Duncan questioned. Sure enough, there was the blonde surfer girl he poked fun at. Suddenly, guilt rushed into him as he thought of his actions.
I've been the king, I've been the clown
Now broken wings can't hold me down
I'm free again
The jester with the broken crown
It won't be me this time around
To love in vain
I say goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end
"It's been so long," Bridgette noted. Duncan nodded. He was tempted to ask about Geoff, but kept his mouth shut. He didn't want her to hear the pain and suffering in his voice.
"Have you heard about Trent and Gwen's wedding?" Again, Duncan nodded.
"Are you going?" This time, Duncan didn't respond.
"I don't think I will," he admitted in a low voice.
"Why not?" Bridgette asked, her hands in her pocket. Duncan looked back to the TV station.
"I've already caused enough damage; it's best if I don't show up."
With that, the criminal started to walk away.
And I feel the time is right
Although I know that you just might say to me
What'cha gonna do
What'cha gonna do
But I have to take this chance goodbye
To friends and to romance
And to all of you
And to all of you
Come on now
He wanted to stay and be with a familiar face, but Duncan knew that it as better if she stayed away from him. If they all stayed away from him.
I say goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end
Bridgette followed him.
"Come on, there's gotta be more to it than that," she insisted, placing her hand on his shoulder. Duncan brushed it off.
"What do you care? You should be happy I'm getting what I deserve."
Bridgette grabbed Duncan, and spun him around. They stared at each other for a few seconds, until Bridgette spoke.
"I heard that Courtney left you; is that true?" Duncan nodded, looking down. The surfer girl sighed.
"So me and Geoff aren't the only ones," she mused. Duncan's eyes widened.
"What? No way, seriously?!" he asked, shocked that the two had broken up. Bridgette shook her head.
"We just… didn't connect." Duncan silently nodded.
"Actually, I was kinda hoping to find you," Bridgette admitted. Duncan looked at the surfer chick.
"Maybe, since we're both heart-broken and everything, we could go together to the wedding. You know, it's no big deal if you don't-"
Duncan cut her off by pressing his lips to hers. Bridgette was surprised at first, but she soon melted into the kiss, wrapping her arms around Duncan's neck.
And the weather's looking fine
And I think the sun will shine again
And I feel I've cleared my mind
All the past is left behind again
The wedding was beautiful; the bride and groom stayed around long enough to catch up with old friends before heading off on their honeymoon. Duncan had caught the garter, while Bridgette snatched the bouquet.
"Well, looks like there's a good chance we're next," Duncan chuckled. Bridgette smiled.
"Oh, we just got done with a wedding! Let's enjoy ourselves for now!" she insisted. Duncan shrugged.
"Fine." Bridgette gave her new boyfriend a quick kiss before heading over to watch Harold beatbox for entertainment. Duncan reached into his back pocket, and brought out a little black box. He looked at the diamond ring inside; it had cost ten months salary, including overtime and a bunch of double-shifts, but it was worth it.
"You're next," he thought to himself, putting the little box back in his pocket.
I say goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end
I think this one came out rather well. The next one ought to be up soon!
