Chapter 1 - Reform and Forgiveness
Bridgette was walking down the street of her hometown in Campbell Lake. Her mom had been out of town recently for a nature lovers convention in Vancouver, but Bridgette was responsible enough to manage the house on her own.
It was around Christmas time in Canada, and the surfer girl loved the spirit of the season. Even though summer was both far away and long past, she still enjoyed winter very much.
Bridgette also took this oppurtunity to change her style a bit. She had her blonde hair down with a beret, a baby blue winter sweater and matching scarf, a long sweatskirt that reached down to her ankles, but she still wore her sandals regardless of the cold.
Her heart filled with glee when she remembered when she got off that awful reality show. Izzy aligned herself with the RCMP around the end of Total Drama Action and forced Chris by order of law to end the show. The surfer girl heard from Cody, who lived in the same town as her, that Izzy was coming here for Christmas vacation, along with Geoff.
Her heart filled with disgust about how vile Geoff was to her during the Aftermath show, and how she broke up with him after the most humiliating moment of her life on the last Aftermath episode. The painful memory filled her mind with an inescapable trauma, and vowed she would never see Geoff again.
Unfortunately, that oath would be broken for the surfer girl. Every Friday night, she would go to the local theater to see what show was playing, and that happened to be Hair, one of her favorite musicals. In the admission line, to her horror, Geoff was in front of her.
She flinched in expectation that Geoff would try to slander her, but to her surprise, the party boy just calmly turned around and greeted her.
"Hi Bridgette," he said in a formal tone.
"Oh, hello Geoff." Bridgette grumbled.
"I know that you're upset about what happened last summer," Geoff explained to her, "but trust me, I've seen the light and hope we can be just friends."
"Fine," the surfer girl sighed, "depends on how you behave."
Instead of whining like Bridgette expected, Geoff just politely nodded and walked into the theater.
The theater certainly wasn't very fancy like the ones in bigger cities, but decent enough to maintain basic productions. The lights went to a blackout and after the lights came back on, the hippie tribe serenaded onstage through the audience in slow motion. Once they got to the stage, they began to celebrate in the show's opening number.
When the moon is in the Seventh House,
and Jupiter aligns with Mars.
Then peace will guide the planets,
and love will steer the stars.
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius,
the Age of Aquarius.
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
Harmony and understanding,
sympathy and trust abounding.
No more falsehoods or derisions,
golding living dreams of visions,
mystic crystal revalation,
and the mind's true liberation.
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
To Bridgette's surprise and pleasure, Geoff did nothing to provoke bad behavior. He didn't feel up her skirt, he didn't heckle the performers, and he didn't even laugh at the climatic scene where Claude is discovered to be dead. When the cast invited the audience to come on stage for the finale, she felt invigorated to grab Geoff by the arm and invite him to the stage with her.
Hail the sunshine!
Hail the sun shining!
The sun shining!
Hail the sunshine!
Hail the sun shining!
The sun shining!
Sun shining!
After the play, Geoff and Bridgette came out, quoting moments from the play.
"I just loved the opener," the party boy reminisced, "but poor Claude, that Vietnam War was so unfair."
"Yeah," Bridgette added, "he was so handsome. Holy fuck, I want him so bad!"
After that, the surfer girl blushed and covered her mouth in astonishment of what she had just said.
"Sorry," she sheepishly apologized, "that one slipped."
"It's cool," Geoff replied, "do you need a ride home?"
"No thanks," Bridgette politely declined, "my home's close to here. How long will you be staying here for?"
"About four or five days more," he admitted, "we can see each other until then."
The two left the theater thinking basically the same thing. Geoff thought about her exclamation back at the theater and pondered about if that type was right for her. He shook that hunch off, believing it was just an indication of sexual attraction to Bridgette, but deep down, he knew it was an emotional attachment also.
Bridgette thought if Geoff had reformed, or if he was just playing her to try to win her back. The surfer girl passed Cody's house on the way back to discover that the tech geek was shoveling snow on the driveway.
"Cody," she gasped, "what are you doing out here so late?"
"Just shoveling some snow," the tech geek admitted, "what brings you here this time of night?"
"I'm just coming home from a play," the surfer girl admitted, "I saw Geoff there, and I think he's changing."
"I think he's just trying to play you," Cody predicted, "after how he hurt you on the Aftermath, he has no shame."
"Don't even remind me," Bridgette shuddered, "too horrifying."
At this moment, Izzy leaped from a tree and landed between the two, sporting a policewoman uniform which included a button down shirt exposing a lot of cleavage and daisy duke type shorts.
"Hi Bridgette," she exclaimed, then batted her eyes at the tech geek, "and hello Cody!" She embraced Cody affectionately and nuzzled her head into the furry trim of the tech geek's coat. Cody whimpered nervously and Izzy warmed up in the girth of his coat.
"Have I ever told you how handsome you are?" the crazy redhead asked him, "I'll make sure to fight off those obsessed fan girls of yours!"
"No thanks," Cody chuckled nervously, "it's getting pretty late, we should go home."
"But Cody..." Izzy started, but the tech geek was already in his house.
As she sighed and hung her head down, Bridgette tried to console her.
"I know you really like him," she told her, "but try not to come on too strong next time."
"Okay," the crazy girl moped as she solemnly walked back home.
Bridgette knew this was the beginning of a really dramatic love story.
Well that was the first chapter, I hoped you all liked it!
I'll explain in detail what happened on that Aftermath show in Chapter 3.
I apologize to the fans of the musical for the slightly less than accurate descriptions of the scenes. I only saw the movie and I looked up the play's plot on Wikipedia.
Birthday wishes to The Kobold Necromancer and read and review!
