It was just one year after TDI. Everyone had settled back into their "normal" lives again. Everyone had ways of contacting everyone else (except heather) but, typically, they never got around to e-mailing or writing a letter. So, they didn't know how everyone else was.

Gwen was checking her e-mail, and found a few e-mails. Most were just junk, and she deleted them. She was surprised when she found an e-mail, from Owen. The subject was: R.I.P. She opened it.

Hey Gwen,

I know it's been like, a year since TDI. I can't believe its been that long since we've been off the island... But anyways, there IS a point to this e-mail. I got an e-mail, just last week and guess what? Someone who was on the island with us, they're already dead. DEAD. In a YEAR. I was wondering if you knew who it was, because I don't know. I hope it wasn't Izzy. Anyways, the e-mail said to go back to Camp Wawanakwa, for the wake and the funeral and all that. Hey, don't ask me how I know what a wake is, because I've never gone to one and so I don't know what it is. The e-mail just mentioned it. It also said attendance is mandatory. Weird. So I guess everyone else is going to get an e-mail too, well, except for the person who... you know... kicked the bucket, and all that.

Owen

Gwen just stared at the e-mail for a few minutes. Someone who was on the island with her just last year, dead. Silently, she hoped it was Heather.

" Oh my god... I hope it wasn't Trent" Gwen said to herself, hitting the reply button.

Hi Owen,

How are you? I don't know who died, before you mentioned it I didn't know someone was dead. I hope it wasn't Trent... I never got that e-mail yet, but its probably coming. I'm going to go back, I want to see who it was. Maybe everyone who's still alive will come, then I'll just have to see who isn't there and then... yeah.

Gwen

Gwen hit send. Then she had a new message. It was from the producers of TDI. The subject: Dear Camper. She opened it.

Dear Camper,

We regret to inform you that someone who was on the island with you last year is dead. We request your attendance to their wake and funeral, both of which will be held on the island.

Producers

P.S- attendance is mandatory. The funeral will be held in two weeks, we apoligize for any inconvience we cause you.

" Owen was right" Gwen said. She ran to pack some stuff, like clothes for the wake and funeral, a TDI picture of everyone, including Chris, much to everyone's displeasure (Chef took the picture). She threw the stuff she would need, like a toothbrush and deodorant and a hairbrush into a bag. When she was done, she had been packing for at least an hour, and had 3 or 4 bags, of different sizes. She went back to the computer. She had no new e-mails, and so she turned the computer off. Then she ran out with her bags, locked the front door, and left.

When Gwen got to the island a few days later, she saw Owen by the campfire pit, and she ran to talk to him.

" Hi Owen" Gwen said.

" Hi Gwen, long time no see" Owen replied, excitedly. " I wonder when everyone else is going to get here" he added.

" Who knows? And where's Chris? You'd think that pest would be out here by now" Gwen said. Owen shrugged. They walked back to the cabins they used to stay in, a year ago. Gwen dropped her stuff on the bed she used to occupy, and so did Owen, on the guys half of the screaming gophers cabin. Then they come back out.

" I thought we would have seen Chris by this time, I mean he's a pest and would love to bug us.." Gwen said. Owen nodded.

" I know it's weird isn't it?" Owen asked. Gwen nodded.

A few hours later, Bridgette showed up. Owen and Gwen were waiting for her. Bridgette walked down the Dock of Shame towards them.

" Hey, it's nice to know you guys are all right" Bridgette said.

" Same for you, Bridgette" Gwen said. They walked back to the cabins, and Bridgette put her stuff on a bed in the same half as Gwen.

" No point being divided anymore, now that there's two girls" Bridgette said.

" Right" Gwen said. "How have you been anyways? Might as well catch up while we're here" Gwen asked.

" I've been fine Gwen, but this came as a total shock, you know... I wasn't expecting someone to die so soon when just last year they were alive and with us... I hope it wasn't Geoff, I haven't been talking to him, or anyone actually," Bridgette said. Gwen nodded.

" None of us have been talking to each other, I'm sure Geoff is fine and will be joining us here soon. It's weird, but I haven't seen Chris at all and Owen and I have been here for days. I know we all hate him but I'm worried" Gwen said. Bridgette nodded.

" That is totally not like him, but knowing Maclean, he's probably trying to scare us for some dumb joke," Bridgette said. Gwen agreed. Then they heard footsteps, running. The two girls, curious, came out of the cabin to see Harold. He stopped and panted for a few minutes, before speaking.

" Is Leshawna here yet?" Harold asked. Gwen, Owen and Bridgette all shook their heads.

" Well at least you guys are all right" Harold said.

" Good to see you too, Harold" Gwen said. ' I never thought I'd EVER say that, not to Harold anyways, but I guess... considering someone died... I guess it IS good to see him' Gwen thought. Harold put his stuff in with Owen's.

" I wonder who will be coming next, I mean it could be anybody," Bridgette said. Everyone shrugged. Then someone else came running.

" Stringbean!" called a voice everyone reconized. Harold turned around, to see Leshawna running towards everyone. She stopped running and grinned at everyone.

" Hey, girls! Nice to see your alright" Leshawna said to Gwen and Bridgette.

" Everyone says that, but I guess it IS nice to see them alright" Gwen said.

" Yeah, it is. But I still wonder who died..." Bridgette replied. " Nice to see you too, Leshawna. Nicer than seeing Heather" she added, and everyone laughed. Then the girls sit in their half of the first cabin, to discuss who it could be who died.

" I wouldn't be surprised if it was Izzy, I mean, she was psycho" Gwen said.

" Yeah, but what about Ezekiel? He was sexist so it might've done him in" Leshawna said. Bridgette thought for a second.

" I think it could be either of those two, but what about Noah? You could get tired of him being a know-it-all, and he's mean" Bridgette said. Gwen nodded.

" It could be any of those three, and there are good reasons behind them, but you have to remember. It could be anyone, good reason or not. Good people die too. Seriously though, I won't be too upset if it's Heather" Gwen said.

" No one will be upset if it's Heather. Now, if it was Courtney or DJ, then like, everyone but Heather would be upset" Bridgette reasoned.

" Yeah" Leshawna and Gwen said, both right at the same time.

By thursday, Trent, Beth, Katie, Sadie and Lindsay had arrived. Everyone was happy that more of former contestants were safe, but Bridgette was even more worried about Geoff. Gwen was happy that Trent was alive and well, and Trent was happy that Gwen was also alive and well. Chris still hadn't been seen, and everyone decided that, even as a joke he was taking it too far. Sadly, Chef was still there, and they still had to eat his horrible cooking, if you could call it that. It was just after dinner, when everyone was heading back towards the cabins when they heard some people yelling to them. Everyone turned and looked, and saw DJ, Geoff, Noah rolling his eyes, Eva, Justin, Tyler, Izzy, Ezkiel, Duncan, Courtney, and Heather, all standing there, most happy, some annoyed. Plus, one angry.

" Looks like everyone is here" Trent said. Gwen did a head count and shook her head.

" No, Cody isn't..." Gwen trailed off, and everyone looks at her. " Cody... Cody isn't here..." she finished. Everyone went quiet, except for Noah and Heather.

" SHUT UP YOU TWO! I THINK WE JUST FIGURED OUT WHO DIED!" Eva shouted at them. They fell quiet too, and so did Eva, for once. Everyone trudges back to the cabins, which were now full.
" Chris is taking his joke a little too seriously. I thought he'd come out by now, I worried so much I'm not worried anymore" Gwen said.

" Chris is Chris. Don't worry about him, besides, we hate him anyways. We'd probably be happy if he died or something" Eva snapped. Every girl in the cabin looked at her.

" Don't joke about people dying, it's never funny" Bridgette said. Eva just glared at her and walked out.

" Maybe we should go ask Chef, he'd know where Chris is" Gwen suggested.

" Sure, it's worth a try" Leshawna said.

Gwen, Bridgette, and Leshawna walked over to the Mess Hall, and found Chef. He was cooking something grey. Then he looked up at the girls.

" Hey Chef, do you know where Chris is?" Gwen asked. Chef didn't answer, he just looked back down at the grey stuff.

" Chef, do you know where Chris is?" Bridgette tried. No response. " I guess not. Let's go" Bridgette said, and they left. On thier way back, Gwen bumped into someone.
