Okay! Just so you know most of this is taken from Bren Tenkage AKA Brenthewise stories. (all the TDI ones at least.) I only own Isobel, no one else was my idea. Most of the words in this are not mine. It's just the best of Hao and Isobel really...
Disclaimer: Don't own Hao, or any of the characters except for Isobel. A lot of the words in this story are not mine. They are from the original stories but I put them in because it tells their story.
Kenny: AJ take him out.
AJ: got it.
She makes some hand signs.
AJ: FIRE STYLE FIREBALL JUTSU!
She breaths a huge fire ball at him and the formless disappears, Tenkage however lands onto the ground and grabs AJ by the neck.
Tenkage: You….will die.
Before he could break her neck he is hit in the back of the head by me.
"Leave her alone!" I yelled at Tenkage. I watched as AJ ran off to heal herself. At least she would get away. As for me, I was either going to die or kill Tenkage.
Tenkage glared at me, and I shivered. 'Tenkage really…really scares me' I thought to myself. I charged at him but he pulled out his sword and smashed my shoulder with the bunt edge.
"AHHH." I yelled out of pain. My HP went down to 237. This wasn't looking up for me.
"Go on and scream, no one will save you, you are al de-"Tenkage was cut off by Hao kicking him in the crotch.
Hao looked at me momentarily, "Isobel, run."
"But-" I muttered.
"Do it… get back, Bren will protect you."
"What are you doing?" I asked him. I was so confused what the heck was he doing?
I watched as Hao grabbed Tenkage. "Secret move… twin snakes kill each other." I wanted to scream at him, 'DON'T DO IT! PLEASE DON'T!!' I was on the verge of tears as an aura from Hao engulfed Tenkage, Hao was down to 0 HP and Tenkage took 9999 damage.
Just before he disappeared, he walked over to me, slowly fading away as his warm lips brushed against mine for most likely the last time. He wiped away a tear that I hadn't known I had shed.
"Hao…" I whispered once he was completely gone.
-later: after Tenkage disappeared and the formless were gone-
After I had told them what had happened to him, and Bren explained that he wasn't dead, just at a virtual Playa Des Loser type place, I left to go to my room and locked the door behind me.
I walked over to the bed and buried my face in the pillow. The tears that were so close to spilling out before, now cascaded onto the pillow. I know he's still alive, but he isn't here, and it's my fault that he isn't here right now. It's all my fault.
I couldn't help but think back to the first time I met him:
-
Hao: come on guys lets go.
He is on Bui's shoulders with Bui carrying his stuff
Harold: who made him boss?
Duncan: I think his big friend did….frankly I don't care, this time I will win this season
Isobel walks pass Bui
Hao: hello
he jumps down and gets in front of her
Hao: names Hao, future winner of total drama island 2, want to go out?
his answer is a kick in the crotch
-
Why couldn't I just be nice to him back then? Maybe because he was so cocky, and if I had, would I still be here without him.? Probably yeah.
-
At the Mess Hall
Hao: come on Isobel I know you like me, so you want to go out
Once again he gets kicked in the crotch by Isobel
Confession cam, Hao: I know Isobel will like me in the end.
Confession cam, Isobel: that Hao….I hate him
-
He was so right. In the end I did like him, maybe even... love him.
-
Hao and Isobel jump but Hao hits on Isobel mid-flight and when they jump Isobel kicks Hao in crotch but they both land in the inner ring
-
On the Bear Side
Hao: I will rep us, I seen the show and I have the DVD's so I know a lot of secrets
Gwen: you better not lose or else
Hao: I won't, and Isobel I do this for you
Isobel kicks him in the crotch once again
Hao in a high pitched voice: ohhhh maaaan….
He falls to the ground in pain
-
AJ: yummy, cheese. How did they know my favorite?
Duncan: trust me they know everything.
Hao: Isobel come on why won't you go out with me?
Isobel kicks him in the shin then in the crotch
Confession Cam, Bui: (he doesn't say anything but just shakes his head)
Duncan: Except how Hao will date Isobel HAHAHAHAHA
Bui helps Hao back into the cabin.
-
Ughhh! I'm so mad at myself! WHY DIDN'T I? Why couldn't I have just said yes. Agree to go on one date with him. But... I guess if I hadn't kept turning him down, then he wouldn't have turned around to be a good person.
-
At the End of the day
Bren has 3 keys, Ean has none, Isobel has 2, Hao was only able to find 1, Kenny has 3, AJ has 3, and Aries has 3
Pirate Chris: ye found a lot of booty, now pick your reward but be warned of the dreaded vote off card
Hao opened his chest and found the invincibility card
Normal Chris: not bad Hao
Hao: that was lucky
...
Pirate Chris: Arg, that be life me matey, Isobel ye turn
Isobel opens one chest and had nothing, and the last she opens has a card with a picture of the boat of Losers
Pirate Chris: Ouch, now she has to walk the Plank
Isobel: oh well….
Isobel is about to leave when Hao takes her card
Hao: Chris, she didn't get the card, I did
Confession cam, Isobel: WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH HIM?!?!?!
Normal Chris: umm ok…guess I was wrong, Hao you get taken out now
Hao walks to the dock and blows Isobel a kiss
Isobel: moron
Hao leaves
-
Chris: Whatever
Isobel walks down
Chris: Ah yes, Isobel, the Queen of Crotch Shots, guess what, look behind you
Isobel looks back and Sees Hao
Isobel: Uh oh
Hao: Don't worry….I am smart enough not to get too close
Hao walks pass her
-
Chris: well since Bren can't eat for obvious reasons, I guess its Aries from the Sharks VS Isobel from the Rabbits
Aries and Isobel start eating
Confession cam, Aries: You know I think the meat loaf surprise the Juvie made tastes better then this stuff
Aries and Isobel are at the last Meat ball but when Isobel swallows the last meat ball her stomach groans
Isobel: oh….man….don't feel so good….ohhh
She throws up
Hao: you ok?
Isobel: I'm fine….oh
Isobel throws up on Hao's shoes
Hao: Maybe not
-
Rabbit side
Isobel is Hammering some boards
Confession cam, Isobel: That Chris...doesn't even leave us blueprints for cabins.....
Someone taps her shoulder and when she turns around Hao is looking at her with some Flowers
Isobel: Look I don't li-
Hao: no this is a peace offering; I just want to tell you I am done with trying to obtain an impossible dream
Confession cam, Isobel: Who are you and what have you done with Hao?
Isobel: umm ok?
Hao: Look I just want to be friends, is that cool?
Isobel: I guess....um sorry about the whole crotch shots
Hao: trust me that's nothing
...
After its done the Rabbits are looking at the work
Hao: Wow, can't believe we got it done in 4 hours
Hao goes inside to inspect
Hao: Hey did everyone remember to nail the support beams?
Izzy: Oops, sorry I forgot to tell you that I borrowed your nails
DJ: Uh oh
The Cabin falls on Hao
Isobel: AHHHH
Isobel Runs in and pulls him out of the rubble
Confession cam, Isobel: Ok for the record I didn't save him because liked him, I saved him because he was my teammate
Hao: my leg....
-
Chris: Yeah, the last place person will be sent to the dock of shame, so that means you can't just wait here and have the last person cross the finish line get taken out
Tenkage: Perfect
Chris: So like I said, anything goes, now then, the race begins….NOW!!
Everyone runs out and follows the path into the woods with Bren/Tenkage in the lead
Tenkage: You can't beat me
Isobel is running beside him
Isobel: Oh yeah take this
She does a swinging kick knocking both of them to the ground with everyone passing them
Isobel: That's for my shoulder
Tenkage: Oh yeah…that was fun
Isobel glares at him
Isobel: EVERYONE GO ON AHEAD I WILL TAKE CARE OF HIM
She gets into a stance and Bren/ Tenkage pulls out his wooden sword
Confession cam, Kenny: When I saw Isobel about to take on Bren…I was impressed, too bad she was gonna get the snot beaten out of her
Isobel charges at Bren and does some kicks to his face but he blocks with his free hand
Tenkage: Come on, do you really think you can beat me like that?
He punches her in the chest sending her back into a tree, which at that point he runs off
Isobel: jerk….
She gets up and follows him
...
Back of the Pack
Bren is running ahead of Isobel who is ticked off
Isobel: COME BACK AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN
Tenkage: Fine….
He turns and holds the sword in the Iai stance (crouching down with the sword at the side ready to take out, see Batojutsu from Ronuni Kenshin)
Isobel: What's that?
Tenkage: This is the Iai stance….in swordsman ship this stance is a perfect defense against a foe
Isobel gets closer and then when she gets too close he swings hitting her hard and fast in the side
Isobel: AHHHH
Isobel falls to the ground
Tenkage: Give up….your weak, I wonder why Hao would like you
He steps on her back then grabs her left arm
Isobel: What are you doing?
He doesn't reply but instead pull her arm when she hears a crack
Isobel: AHHHHHHHHHHH!
He gets off and leaves
Tenkage: Be thankful that I didn't break both arms…now then good bye
-
Chris: let's see how Isobel is doing
He goes to the pool where Isobel is on a beach chair making out with Hao
Chris: wow….guess I owe Chef 20 bucks
Hao: Hey…we worked out our differences
Isobel: Yeah….
Hao: Don't worry I will take care of you,
Isobel: Awww your so sweet
-
I guess both of us have changed... Each of us in our own ways. Hao became a nice person, and I learned to trust people.
-
Chris: Ok the 2 teams will be; Bren, Owen, and Isobel as Team Power, The other will be Aries, Kenny, and AJ as Team Magic
Chris: Ok the first match, Team Power VS Team Speed
Team Power looks at the newly warped NPC team, which consisted of a Ninja, a Warrior, and a frenzied looking beast Girl (a beast girl looks like a cave girl but only with a tiger tail)
Owen: Oh Chocobo trainer that girl is creepy
The girl snarls
Chris: Begin
The screen changes to the Final Fantasy Battle Screen
Beast girl uses Bite
Owen takes 100 Damage

Bui nods in agreement
-
Isobel: Honestly, if nothing happens I am gonna go crazy
2 large black ships appear both with a Jolly Roger
Isobel: I should use this power for good
Bren: Prepare for battle
...
The camera moves to Bren who is duel wielding swords and is hacking up formless
Bren: REALLY I LOST COUNT AT 37!
Hao and Isobel take out a bunch of Formless with a tag team style
Isobel: This is awesome
Hao: I know
-
Chris: weak...anyway Bui is next
Bui spins and it lands on the Skull again
Chris: Time to face your fear
2 wolves appear
Bui: uh oh
The Wolves chase him around the town
Bren: How long are they gonna chase him?
Chris: Until he stands and fights, or runs into the cage
Hao: This may take a while
Isobel: What do you mean?
Hao: Well...
The answer is Bui running pass them then again and then again
Isobel: I see
Chris opens the cage then beckons Bui to it, in which he goes inside and hides
Aries: dude, its ok, your safe
Bui nods
Chris: Ok time for Isobel take on her torture
Isobel spins and it lands on a cannon
Chris: You must be launched from a cannon into pig...well you know
Hao: Um I will take over for her
Isobel: aww, thanks Hao
She kisses him before he is launched into the big pile of...well you know
Hao walks out stinking badly
Chris: P.U. that is rank, but I'm afraid Isobel has to go into the cage because he did the challenge
Isobel smiles and walks into the cage
Confession cam, Isobel: I lost, but at least I don't stink, Hao is such a nice guy
Hao spins the wheel and it lands on a bear
Chris: Moon a bear
Hao walks into the cage
Chris: Smart guy, I only know 2 people who did that, and only one of them is with us
-
They run away
Chef: I'm not getting paid enough for this.
He decided to back track and hunt someone else, so when he goes back he takes the path Isobel and Hao took.
Isobel: Think he is on to us?
Hao: you go on ahead
Isobel: Huh?
Hao: I will hold him off, you win this challenge
Isobel kisses him then continues onward, just as Chef goes into his corridor
Hao: Bring it o-
He is cut off by an arrow in the chest making him disappear
Chef: One down, 7 to go
Confession cam, Isobel: I felt bad for Hao
Chef runs through the path ways and he sees Isobel
Chef: Say good night
Isobel grins
Isobel: Good night
Isobel punches the wall and part of the ceiling falls, but it didn't fall on Chef
Isobel: Huh, it always works in the movies
She is shot and she disappears
-
Hao: So what do we do?
Bren: I will go and find an army, I will be back as soon as possible
Kenny: Dude I won't leave you, I will come along as well
Bren: Thanks, Hao I am leaving you in charge, make sure the defenses are good, and the NPC guards are ready, they are under your command
Hao Nods, as Bren and Kenny mount 2 chocobos (the Horses of the gaming world)
Kenny: Don't worry we will be back
They ride off west into a forest leaving the 5 alone
Bui: What should we do?
Hao: We prepare for battle
Hao goes into the builder's selection and selects guard towers for the wall
Isobel: Nice
Hao: I always did like RTS (Real time Strategy) games
Bui starts upgrading the barracks and black smith to help the troops
-
4 days later
Opens to Hao in a training room doing push ups (shirtless) with lots of weights on his back, impressing Isobel who is watching
Isobel: Wow, I'm impressed....
Hao: 999.....1000
He gets up
Hao: I guess we should see if AJ sees anything
They walk out where AJ is watching the horizon
Hao: anything?
AJ:...yeah, they will be here by morning
Bui: This is bad....we don't have enough defenses for this
Hao: Yeah....we have archers and defenders....but we can't last too long
Isobel: But we have to try
Ean: Yeah....
He pulls out a card and his eyes Widen
Ean: I think we have a chance
Hao: Huh?
Ean: Everyone, get some rest, I will watch for them, when they arrive I will call you
They nod and head into the Barracks to rest up (Isobel got a separate room)
Next Morning
Ean got everyone up and they see a huge army of formless, mostly soldiers but they also see Troll like ones, and many Black Towers
Ean: Guess, we fight....I hope Bren arrives soon
Hao: Let's do this
Bui nods
Hao: Right, let's send these foul beast into the abyss
Ean pulls out a card
Ean: I summon Blade commander
The Blade commander appears
Isobel: But that's....
Ean: Seems Bren left me a gift
The Commander directs the archers to do a volley against the army taking out a lot of formless
Hao: Impressive
Isobel: Well I say its time to join in
...
The gunner grins and fires multiple shots at the formless taking out a lot
Hao: This isn't working
Isobel: That's it....let's do this Hao
They both jump down and they both get into a stance
Isobel and Hao: Duel Style, Flames of Passion
An Aura from the both of them appear and it burns multiple formless
Hao and Isobel pant
Hao: We have to retreat
They both jump back to the wall and head to an upper level
Ean: The gate is almost broken....I am low on cards
Bui: My HP is low....
Just as they speak the wall breaks and formless Trolls charge in taking out a lot of NPC's (AKA the expendables)
Hao: Darn it...we are dead
They run into the barracks and they barricade the door
Isobel: It's over....
Hao: Its ok....at least it's with you
-
I think that was the nicest thing anyone had ever said to me. I wouldn't have minded if we both had died either. I actually would have preferred it that way...
-
Kenny: We need to save our friends
Bren: I know
They make it to the barracks and Hao and Isobel break out
Hao: In here
Bren: Hao, you're alright, are any of you hurt
Ean: No, we are ok
Bren: Hope you liked my gifts
Hao: Oh yeah
Isobel: They work
AJ: Yep
They hear a horn but it's not the rider's horn
Bren: What the heck?
Bren turns to the battle and his eyes widen
Kenny: What's wrong?
Bren: Tenkage, just has to make me mad
Marching to the battle are huge formless in the Shape of huge Mammoths
Bren: I need to control the riders
Bren runs off
Kenny: we need to help them
AJ: Right
AJ runs to the battle
Kenny: Hao, Isobel, hop on
They get on the back of the beast
-
Kenny: AJ take him out
AJ: got it
She makes some hand signs
AJ: FIRE STYLE FIREBALL JUTSU
She breaths a huge fire ball at him and the formless disappears, Tenkage however lands onto the ground and grabs AJ by the neck
Tenkage: You….will die
Before he could break her neck he is hit in the back of the head by Isobel
Isobel: Leave her alone
AJ runs off to heal herself
Tenkage glares at Isobel and she shivers
Confession cam, Isobel: Ok Tenkage scares me…a lot
Isobel charges at Tenkage but he pulls out his sword and smashes her shoulder with the blunt edge
Isobel: AHHH
Isobel HP 237
Tenkage: Go on scream, no one will save you, you all are de-
He is cut off by a kick in the crotch, by none other then Hao
Hao: Isobel run
Isobel: but-
Hao: Do it….get back, Bren will protect you
Isobel: What are you doing?
Hao grabs Tenkage
Hao: Secret move….twin snakes kill each other
An Aura from Hao engulfs Tenkage
Hao HP 0 Tenkage takes 9999 damage
Hao disappears but not without kissing Isobel goodbye
Tenkage: AHHH….I better pull back….
He clutches his shoulder and warps using a shadow in the ground
Isobel: Hao….
Bren's forces take care of the rest of the army and the players meet at the planning room of the castle
Isobel:… and that's what happened
Bren: I see….sorry about your loss
Kenny: Yeah a real bummer
Bui: He was a good person
Isobel: I can't believe he is dead…
Bren: He isn't dead, you see when you are voted off or lose all HP like this, you disappear, that's true, but your avatar is sent to a different Cyber area.
Isobel: so it's like Playa Des Loser
Bren: Exactly, we will see the losers and Chris when we do the finals, but for now I will take over for Chris, and don't worry, I am a fair player
Everyone agrees
Ean: But we need a plan, how do we take down Tenkage?
Bren: We bring the fight to him, us 6 will take down his fortress and finish him. Because he isn't a player when he loses all HP he will disappear forever
Kenny: Yeah
-
Right back to where we started: Hao being gone and me sitting here and wallowing in self pity. I shouldn't be doing this! Hao wouldn't want me to...
I wiped away the last of the tears and went to sleep.
- The next day -
We got to the gate of Tenkage's fortress. We were all tense, nervous about the battle before us.
"So what's the plan?" AJ asked Bren.
"I'm not gonna lie," Bren said reluctantly. "The people fighting on the front will be a distraction, while my team will be infiltration."
"Oh." I mumbled quietly.
"If you want to back out, I understand." Bren said, a hint of concern could be heard in his voice.
"I refuse to back down." Bui said. He glanced down at me, both of us were thinking the same thing. We had to do this for Hao, he made his sacrifice and now it was time for ours.
"Same here." I turned my attention back to Bren who was now looking at Ean.
"I won't let you fail." Ean said, without any hesitation.
"Alright, we attack at dawn."
-
That night at camp Bui, Ean, and I sat away from the others. None of us wanted them to know what we were feeling, even though it wasn't that hard to tell. I mean we were practically marked for death.
"So what's been your favorite thing here?" Bui asked Ean in his deep voice. The thing is, I had always respected Bui, he had enough patience to put up with Hao when he was annoying. He had some amazing inner strength about him (and outer strength too), and I was really glad to have met him.
"Probably... getting to be in a video game." Ean said. Ean has to be one of the nicest guys I have ever met. Yeah, he is a strong fighter, but he's a good guy.
I leaned back, and stretched out on my sleeping bag. I watched as each of the stars twinkled. Sure, it wasn't real, but it was still pretty.
"Isobel?" Bui asked, bringing me out of my daze. I sat up and looked at the guys.
"Her favorite part was probably being around Hao all the time." Ean said with a smile as he tried to lighten the mood.
I chuckled a little. "No, although... that was really nice." I smirked, trying to think about the best part. "Probably not being weighted down by my shoulder and the cast."
"You still have a cast?" Ean asked with concern, probably because his brother was the one to cause it in the first place (well... his other self, but still).
"Yeah, when we get out of here I'll show you it." I told him. 'Thought it might be plainly obvious having a huge thing on my arm...' I thought to myself. "We might want to get some sleep now." I said to them.
They nodded.
- At Dawn -
Ean, Bui, and I marched with the army of NPC.
"It's time to win this war."
The other two nodded.
The gate opened and we watched as several formless ran out.
Bui drew his zombato. "CHARGE!" He yelled, and the army ran at the formless.
-
After a while our army was starting to become overrun with the formless.
"This is bad. I am running out of cards and HP" Ean said, his HP now at 284.
I took out one of the formless with one punch, my HP was down to 329. "I know."
Bui swung his zombato and took out twenty formless. "I know the feeling." Bui's HP was the lowest at 120.
"Any regrets?" Ean asked.
"Only one." I told him, trying to fight off three formless at a time. "That Bren won't see us put up one heck of a fight,"
"Agreed." Ean said. The formless took out the rest of the army, leaving Ean, Bui, and me to fend for ourselves. They encircled us leaving only twenty meters in between us and them. "This is the end, isn't it?" He asked.
"But I'm sure Bren is close to beating Tenkage." I said, trying to keep positive.
Then Tenkage walked out of the crowd of formless.
"TENKAGE?!?" Ean screeched.
"Wrong. I'm a clone, a formless clone." The Tenkage clone replied.
Bui tried to hit him with his zombato, but the clone drew his own sword and cut Bui's in half. "Oh no" Bui said, just as Tenkage clone stabbed him in the chest. Bui then vanished, disappearing to the other dimension.
"I have about 70 percent power equal to Tenkage; too bad, you won't get to see the 100 percent." The clone grinned evilly at me and Ean.
I watched as Ean drew a card. "We won't know until we try." He said as he played the card. "I equip Isobel with Tech Armor."
I was then equipped with a small robot suit; but before Ean could play another card he was stabbed by the clone and disappeared just like Bui.
"EAN!!" I screamed.
"You're next." The clone said, smirking evilly at me. "Oh and Tenkage has a message for you, 'Hao died the way he lived, weak and pathetic'."
That was the last straw. It triggered me, and I moved so fast that it was almost at warp speed, and I kicked the clone in the crotch. Which made the clone take 500 damage. He pushed me aside and glared. "Not bad. Too bad your going to die now." The Clone swung his sword at me; but I grabbed it, or at least the robot part of me did, before it hit.
"NEVER INSULT HAO!!" I screamed at him, the scream echoing loudly throughout the area.
I started to pummel the clone, punch after punch. "TAKE THIS!" I yelled as my fist smashed into his stomach sending him to the ground.
The clone got up and cracked his neck. "Is that all?" He asked with a sinister grin on his face.
I ran at him again, but the clone sidestepped, and slashed me in the back, causing my HP to drop to 1.
"No..." I whimpered, and fell to the ground. The clone stepped on my back.
"Too bad. You lose." The clone said. His evil voice mocking me.
I started to cry. It all began to set in. I had really lost. "Hao..." I coughed out. "I'm sorry..."
I felt him stab me in the head and I disappeared through the portal.
-
I opened my eyes and found that I was now in a RPG town, a little like the one we saw when we all arrived here.
"Isobel!" I heard a voice say excitedly from behind me. I noticed I was still on the ground, and the tears were still streaming down my face. I couldn't tell who the voice belonged to because it was too far away.
I turned my head slightly, my vision blurred by all the tears; but I couldn't see anyone. This was the most I had ever cried in my whole life and I so was not used to it.
"Isobel..." The voice sighed, sounding closer than before. That voice was so familiar...
"Hao?" I choked out, my voice sounding shaky and unlike me.
Suddenly, I was being picked up off the ground, and I was standing on my own two feet. Someones arms were wrapped around me, and I buried my face in their shoulder.
"Isobel, it's okay, you're okay now." The voice, which I was now 100 percent sure was Hao's said. One of his hands stroked my hair. I wrapped my arms limply around him. "You're not crying are you?" He asked.
"...Maybe..." I sniffled.
I looked up to see Hao smiling. He wiped away my tears with the hand he was using to stroke my hair with, still holding onto me with the other. "I missed you." He said.
"I missed you, too." I said, my voice scratchy from the crying.
And he leaned down and kissed me again.
I broke away after a minute, really grasping this situation. "No you don't." I said putting a finger to his lips. "We have to talk mister."
"Oh jeez." He said, a little unhappy that I hadn't gone on kissing him. "What?"
I sighed. "You can't go giving up your life to save mine all the time."
"Yes, I can." He said smugly. "You know if this was not a cyber world, that move totally would have worked."
"Fine." I giggled a little. "I'll give you that. But do you know how bad I felt when you disappeared?"
"Just as bad as I felt watching him smash your shoulder with his sword." Hao said seriously.
I looked up at him, feeling terrible that I caused him the same kind of pain. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be." He said pulling me closer to him.
And this time I leaned up and kissed him.
-
"You know..." Hao said looking up at the sky. We had spent the remainder of the day making out in the middle of the RPG town. "We should probably go in the tavern now and tell them your here..."
"OH, we know." They all said. Everyone was standing outside the tavern, laughing. I blushed slightly and looked down at my feet so my hair would cover my face. Hao put an arm over my shoulder and we walked to join the rest of the group.
- Later that night -
Hao and I were sitting by the fireplace on a small couch. I was leaning against his chest and he had his arm wrapped around my shoulders.
"Hey Hao." I said slowly, watching the fire.
"Hmm?" He wondered in a dazed tone.
"I-I... I love you." I said quietly, stumbling over the words.
He looked down at me, shocked. "You what?"
"Oh, never mind. Just... forget I said anything." I told him.
"No! I just didn't think you would say it, but I didn't want to be the first to say that I loved you because it might have pressured you into saying it. I love you to." He said, and he kissed the top of my head.
I smiled and drifted to sleep. Happy that I did Total Drama Island, happy I met all these people, and just overall happy that I could be with Hao.
--
WOW. That was long. HAHAHA and my editor said it was long too. Extremely long.
Well. Hope you liked it! I tried to put a lot in so it would explain their story.
Thanks for reading!
LYAL! (Love Yall A Lot!)
