Chapter 1: Home Sweet Home
Gwen is now on a plane and was now heading back to her hometown in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. During the whole flight, she had a smile on her face.
-Confessional-
"My name is Gwendolyn Shirley. But a lot of people may know me as Gwen and I was a Total Drama contender." Gwen was doing her confessional in the airport. Right after she had landed in Baton Rouge. "I'm so glad to be finally coming back home," she said. "After five seasons of being in that show, I am ready to go back home."
-Confessional Ends-
Gwen was on her sketch book as always and was drawing something. If not on her sketch book, she would be writing in her diary. But all the Goth was just talking about is being happy to finally see her younger brother and her mother for the first time in two years than just regular video chatting.
"Attention passengers," one of the flight attendants said over the intercom. "We are now arriving in Baton Rough, Louisiana. Please put your trays away and your seats to the upright hand position."
Gwen quickly stopped writing and started to put her stuff away. Her diary in her book bag, her sketch pad right beside it and her laptop in a laptop case that was all black. The plane lands and the Goth started walking out of the airport where she meets up with a carpool service.
"Are you Gwendolyn Shirley?" the driver asked.
"That's me," Gwen answered.
"Well then, allow me to take your baggage for you." The driver began to put her stuff in the car. It was a Chevrolet Suburban. "Is there anywhere you want me to drive you?"
"Just home," Gwen answered.
"Very well then," the driver said. He opens the door for her and the camera guy that was recording her. Soon afterwards, the car pulls out of the parking lot and was now driving Gwen to her house where her brother and mother are staying.
The camera crew, who was following Gwen, all got into a van. Gwen now have her own reality show which is why there was a camera crew following her every move.
"I am so scythe to be with my family again," Gwen said. "I bet you they have miss me so much." Soon the car stops at a historic house in a neighborhood in Garden District. It was white two-story house that was connected to a red two-story house. It was Gwen's house. She got outside and made it to the front door. It soon open and a lady with brown hair can be seen behind it. The lady was filled with excitement after seeing Gwen.
"Gwen," her mother said.
"Hey mom. It's so nice to see you again," the daughter said. The two hugged one another so tightly, they almost on the verge of squeezing the life out of each other.
-Confessionals-
"I'm Amanda Shirley, gwen's mother," Amanda stated.
…
"My mother is so supportive if me and my brother," Gwen added. "During the show, I always talked to both of them and tell them how I'm doing."
…
"I always watch Total Drama just to see my Gwen."
…
Gwen began giggling at something. "My brother would often tell me how our mom will brag about the fact that she has a daughter who is a celebrity now."
-Confessionals Ends-
As the mother and daughter walked back inside, Gwen hears music playing around in the house. She knew exactly who will play music that loud. She walked upstairs and walked down the hall until she stopped by a door that had a picture of a guitar. This was her brother's room. Gwen opens the door and see her younger sibling playing on his Gibson electric guitar. She sneaks behind him and put him in a headlock.
-Confessionals-
"I'm Robbie Shirley, a rocking guitarist, songwriter and Gwen's young brother," Arthur said. "Me and my sister are really close. From the time we was growing up, I knew I can always trust her when I run into problems."
…
"My brother is actually the real reason why I even sign to Total Drama, "Gwen stated.
…
"We made a bet one time and the deal was if she lost, then she must sign up for a new show."
…
"The rest is pretty much history now."
-Confessionals End-
Robbie put his guitar down and hug his big sis. "I'm so glad you're home," he said.
"I am too. It's been like a few years since I last saw you guys in person."
"Yeah I know. It feels like forever." Robbie turn around and noticed the camera crew. "So what's up with these guys."
"oh, I'm making my own reality show. Just show my fans on how I was living before Total Drama."
"That's not too bad. Anyway, mom was suggesting maybe we should go out."
"Go where?"
"Maybe New Orleans. It's not too far from here."
"That sounds like fun especially when Mardi Gras is around the corner, but I want to stay home with you and mom right now. I'm not inn the mood to go anywhere right now."
"I understand. IT's good you're back home now."
"Same here." The two siblings hugged one another before Gwen left the room. After she left, the camera guy stayed in his room just so he could take some shots of Robbie rocking on his Gibson guitar again. He soon scans the room and see posters of Green Day, Linkin Park, Blink-182 and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Robbie also have two Yamaha keyboards and four more guitars in his room.
…
Gwen walked to her room which was just across the hallway from her brother's room. The room was colored in black and a dark blue paint on the wall. A large flat screen TV on the wall that was across a small sofa and a Queen sized bed. Gwen put her suitcase down and try to go down memory lane. A lot of stuff has happen in that 10X12 bedroom. It seem to have gotten smaller since the Queen bed was hogging up most of the space.
The female sat down on top of it and turned on the TV, which was on top of a table.
-Confessional-
"Man, I really can't believe how long I was gone," she said. "There was some good and bad memories about my room. All of the memories I had was all coming back to me like a wave."
-Confessional Ends-
Gwen laid herself on top of the bed and seem to have fall asleep real quick. A few hours later, it was dinner time and Amanda had just finished cooking up some food. Since it was Gwen's first night back home, she wanted to make her favorite. Lasagna, mashed potatoes (extra gravy), asparagus, and for desert, southern peach cobbler. Camera guys were filming the dinner table and see the wooded table with six chairs had four dishes on the center as well as Fine China.
"Wow Mom. You went all out on the dinner," Robbie said.
"Thanks Robbie," Amanda replied. Gwen was the last person to come downstairs. She took one whiff of the food that was covering the entire air and knew it was her favorites.
-Confessional-
Gwen was smelling the food and seem to have went into heaven. "Lasagna…mashed potatoes…asparagus…and southern peach cobbler, my favorite. Oh wow. It's so good to be back home."
-Confessional Ends-
"Heavenly Father…," Amanda was leading a prayer. "…We thank you for another day and that Gwen managed to turn home safety to her lovely family. We also tahnk you for the food that we are about to partaken and we hope you continue to bless us and help us when the good times will be rough. In your name we pray, Amen," she finished off.
"Amen," Robbie and gwen replied. Soon the family of three got a plate of food and began eating.
"Kevin told me you didn't want to go to New Orleans for the weekend," Amanda said.
"I didn't say that," Gwen replied backk. "I just want to stay home for a while. You know, just to hang out with you guys even more and see my old friends."
"You know, Mom started dating," Kevin added.
"REally? So who is this guy?"
Amanda just continue eating. She soon gave a sharp look at her son. He promised her he wouldn't tell Gwen this yet. "Well it was supposed to be a secret, but I've known him for a year now. His name is James."
"I met him one time. He owns his own Guitar Center."
Gwen giggled. "well I know you like him already."
"I was actually thinking about taking him to New Orleans with us. You don't mind do you?"
"No I don't."
-Confessional-
"Kevin told me that Mom started dating. Seeing him liking this guy, maybe I will like him too. I just hope this relationship will go a lot smoother and better than the other guys she's been with.
-Confessional End-
After dinner, the family started getting ready for bed. Gwen finished up her diary, Kevin finished up writing the lyrics to his new song and Amanda had just came out of her bathroom. Everyone hopped in their bed and soon afterwards, they fell asleep. In Amanda's room, her cell phone began to vibrate. But instead of answering it, she just turn her sleeping body around. A name pops up and it said Clifford on the screen.
Well, one chapter down, 19 more to go. I hope everyone like this story so far, even though this is the first chapter. Now I want you all to pay attention at the end where this guy name Clifford. For on the next chapter, he'll be making a major part in this story and you'll see his relationship with Amanda. I got a whole bunch of surprises for this story so be prepared for what's about to happen. Now while I'm working on Gwen's Journey Back Home, I'm also in the process of making two new Total drama stories. One will be focusing on Mike and Zoey after Total Drama while the other story will focus on Geoff and Bridgette.
Well that's all for now. I'll be back with the second chapter and hopefully I'll see you all soon.
P.S. I changed Gwen's brother's name to Kevin instead of Robbie to avoid any confusing in the end.
