A/N: Hey! It's totaldramadc coming at you guys with a Duncan/Gwen fanfiction. Yes, you heard me, Duncan and Gwen. Don't worry, my Duncan/Courtney fans, this is only a FRIENDSHIP story (as I promised XxKirbyLoverxX I would do). This takes place during the episode of "Basic Straining", after Gwen is sent to the bathroom with a mop and bucket. Read, review, and enjoy!

Warning: Use of the word "damn".

An irritated Gwen plunged the flimsy mop into a bucket of dirty lake water.

"Master Chief my butt." she mumbled bitterly. "He's just another pain I have to deal with here. Everyone on this island is a pain. All they do is care about winning."

She started to scrub the dirty, green bathroom floor, but the dirty concrete remained covered in muck.

Gwen sighed. "Damn lake water. It's a wonder that stupid seagull can still survive after wading in it."

Suddenly, the door opened and Gwen looked up to see Duncan, massaging his hands, muttering something about Chef sitting on him while he did push-ups.

"So Chef sat on you while you did push-ups?" smirked Gwen. "And I thought I had it bad."

Duncan looked up and flashed a smile. "Oh, you do."

He looked at the mop and saw Gwen look scornfully at it.

"Doesn't look like you're trying too hard to clean the floor." he remarked.

Gwen scowled and then sighed. "It's not my fault I'm using lake water. And besides, I didn't get any soap to use. Ugh, this will never get finished. I'm supposed to be able to come out either when we eat, when we're doing another one of Chef's challenges, or when I'm finished cleaning the entire bathroom."

Duncan looked back at the campfire pit, where all of the campers were taking a break before the next task.

"Here, I'll help you." stated Duncan, surprising Gwen. "I'll go sneak some tile cleaners and some detergent for you to use."

Gwen placed a hand on her hip, a smile on her face. "Since when did you start helping people?"

Duncan shrugged. "Ah, I don't know. I guess Miss Perfect's been wearing off on me."

Just as he was about to head out the door, Gwen said, "Thanks, but what if you get caught by Chef?"

Duncan turned around and smiled. "That's what friends are for. We help out a friend in need. And besides, I know that if I get caught, you've got my back."

Gwen jokingly saluted him. "You can count on me!"

And that's a wrap! How was it? Don't forget to review!
