Gwen sat sketching in her apartment on California College of the Arts in Oakland, CA. It had been five years since TDWT had aired and she disappeared as the reality TV star and just became Gwen the art student. She had even changed her teal highlights to maroon and it took a few years but fewer people started to recognize her.

Her roommate's four foot iguana, Jareth, crawled across the floor and plopped down beside her. Smirking Gwen pat him on the head before going back to her sketch. Her and her roommate got along so well because of their collection of lizards, and Zel never watched the show until Gwen showed it to her. The consolation prize for all contestants was getting the entire seasons you play in on DVD. It was fun spending a weekend reliving her time on the show and remembering the friends she had made, but beside LeShawna she hadn't spoken to anyone else in 3 years including Duncan.

He was off living a rock star life with his rock band. She had attended one of his shows once and was going to let him know she was there. Then he dedicated a song to Courtney, who was behind the stage. Once Gwen saw it was the same Courtney from TD she ran. Now here she was in her senior year and still thinking of him.

"Gwen you are not going to believe this!" Zel shouted as she rushed into the house. Zel was a petite girl with short purple spiky hair and her face and clothes were covered in dry clay. "You know my girlfriend Lucy's father is CEO of the parent company who owns the station who did all the total drama series. With all the total drama spin offs apparently there is interest in what happened to the original cast of season one, you know those in hiding like you. Apparently they have found everyone with the exception of you, Chris, and that Zeke kid, and they have all signed on to do this where are they now series with a special live reunion at the end of the series."

"No," Gwen replied to the unspoken question. If they hadn't found her she wasn't going to jump in front of them and say 'here I am please torcher me again!'

"Let me finish," Zel huffed as she sat down on their beat up recliner. "If I don't tell Lucy that you are my roommate you are going to get me in trouble, and it's not like you are hiding. From what I hear they are hiring P.I.s to find you and it's not like you are living in the middle of Alaska in a small community where they only have 3 TVs and a population under 50. But if you want to run I can draw you a map to my old cabin."

Gwen was silent for a moment, if they did want to find her they would. She could uproot to Alaska like Zel suggested, but she was a senior and so close to graduating that she would have wasted money and four years of her life to go on the lamb.

"They have started filming," Zel stated breaking her out of her thoughts. "They are going in reverse order of placement which means you are the second to last interview and the series is going to start airing next week a contestant a week leading up to the live reunion."

"I'll think about it," Gwen told her as she went back to her sketch.

"Sure put me in the dog house with my girlfriend," Zel muttered as she stomped out of the room.

Gwen's mind couldn't focus on what she was sketching as she thought about the show. A live reunion would put her in the same room as Duncan. She tried so hard to forget him after that night, but he was on her mind. Letting out a sigh she looked at the still life she was drawing. The bowl of fruit looked realistic except the apple had morphed into Duncan's face.

Throwing the sketch book down she grabbed her laptop and started looking up the information about the show. Google lead her to the home page of TD and there were photos of her, Chris, and, Ezekiel asking people for information on their location. Shaking her head she went down to airing schedule for 'Total Drama Island: Where are they now?' Clicking on the icon she noticed the show was sedualed to air Sunday three days away.

Making sure Zel was now where insight she quickly turned on the TV and set the DVR to record the first episode. Morbid curiosity of her old life was getting to her, and before she agreed to anything she wanted to know what she was getting into.
