*This whole chapter is set a break before the 1st chapter*

The girl's heart roared as she reflected on her failures and struggles afterwards. Most of them were solved now, but the memories still burned at her sides like, well, burns. Heather forced herself to calm down, going out in public meant one had to be acceptable, or at least normal for her. Whoever I am. Heather wondered.

Currently the Asian girl sat in her hotel room, provided for by the engaged couple.

She had done some bad things, really merciless things, in the past, but after season 3 she didn't even recognize her own face in the mirror, figuratively of course. She had been underestimated recently and planned to set the record for the legacy and power she worked for. Unfortunately for her, no one saw her as one of the old winners of Total Drama, instead she was just a failure for not getting the money.

Not for long at least. Heather thought to herself. No one underestimated Heather and got away without some revenge!

Heather was to have a day with the bride and the other bridesmaids, she didn't know what was supposed to go down, but she had an idea. She confessed to herself that she was surprised when she was first asked, but somehow it wasn't like being told that Bridgette was pregnant or anything really surprising. During the 5th season of Total Drama, although the 2 females had been bitter enemies during the past seasons, they gained a mutual and taciturn respect for each other through repetitive competition and a similar passion. The idea that the 2 old rivals wanted to straggle each other was a foreign one, Heather herself had come to hate the idea of loathing the bride for who she was. Still, she didn't knew she probably wasn't the first choice for a bridesmaid. She wavered at the thought of being a back-up choice bridesmaid, Heather was nobody's second choice. Before leaving her room, which seemed to mirror the wedding invitation in color and pattern, she threw one stern look at the light green wall to her left and really prepared herself to leave.

The wall looked better with those holes in it anyway.

"Come on, let's see it!" Lindsay avidly begged to the bride-to-be. "Please!"

"Yeah, how long are you going to keep us waiting?" Katie asked.

"Yeah, don't be like you were before. Just show us!" Sadie chimed in.

"Like I was how before?" Courtney questioned with an irritated undertone.

Sadie bit her lip and Courtney was about to snap back when Bridgette placed a patient hand on her friend's shoulder to remind her to take a deep breath when frustrated. Courtney did so and mouthed a 'thank you' to Bridgette.

"Well, like, you were just kind of mean and stuff. Right Sadie?" Katie agreed as she came to her best friend's rescue. Sadie fearfully nodded and leaned into Katie's side in veneration as Courtney's face darkened.

Katie, Sadie, Lindsay, Heather, Bridgette, and Courtney were all somewhat calmly discussing the next week, seeing everyone again, and tidbits of whatever else popped up. They were sitting in a fluffy Asian tea themed room around a small table facing each other.

Heather was noticeably silent during the day with the bride and the cameras while giving a few suspicious glances at Courtney throughout the group's conversation. She was just waiting for something to inevitably crack the bride's glassy surface, but she wouldn't confess to it and her intention, whether selfish or selfless or something in between, wasn't known.

"Anyway, think it's time they saw it, and they are your bridesmaids." Bridgette gently suggested to Courtney.

"Here." Heather stated as she tossed the large black bag that was next to her to the 3 eager girls, Lindsay, Katie, and Sadie. Courtney didn't object, but she sent Heather a firm and stern look.

"OMG, it's so, like, perfect for you!" Lindsay squealed.

"I know, I wish I could wear that at my wedding." Sadie agreed and Katie nodded.

"You're very lucky and so is he." Bridgette smiled.

"It fits for you." Heather confirmed.

The mermaid dress was just long enough to cover the feet with a sweetheart neckline. It was formfitting and stitching seemed to be from the silver lining in clouds that optimists might speak of. And, when the shimmering white dress was reflected in the perfect lighting it iridescently shattered a million rainbows across the wall.

Courtney smiled and appreciated the reactions and knew she had made the right choice in a gown. She placed a hand on hip and faced each of them.

"Well, I am great at choosing outfits for myself and others. Of course I made the right choice." Courtney confidently declared with a flip of her hair.

Heather rolled her eyes and shook her head, but without the negativity she used to associate with Courtney. Heather's phone vibrated and she stood up to go on to the next part of her schedule.

"How disgusting, I have to face Blainely again. I'm leaving. So, umm, bye." Heather announced with a awkward wave.

All the girls said their good-byes to Heather even if they weren't on great terms with her. And she headed off.

"She's definitely not used to being civil." Sadie whispered after she was gone.

"Hannah's sooo different isn't she?" Lindsay asked.

"I concur with you, but she's changing." Courtney pointed out.

"Yeah. I wonder why." Bridgette thought aloud.

Heather stalked away after hearing what the girls said about her while she had been hiding around a corner.

I'm not changing, I was just sick of everyone hating me. Heather angrily thought to herself and thought of the outcome if she continued this way.

Heather was so pensive as she was walking that when she didn't notice where she was until she slammed into a chiseled form.

"Ay, mi novia. Que bella." Alejandro smiled as he placed a firm hand on her shoulder.

"Whatever, I'm not your girlfriend or anything. So stop calling me that." Heather retored.

"I love it when you suggest such, but you have learned enough Spanish from myself to know what I'm saying." The hispanic teen said and winked.

"Courtney speaks Spanish sometimes also." She snapped back with a hot blush although she knew it was a weak argument.

"This whole thing is a scam, but at least they and we be getting some publicity off this. Just like we wanted." Alejandro stated with a charming smile.

"Sure it is, but I can't believe I think otherwise." Heather directly responded.

"Whatever you say, mamacita. Meet me in my room at 10. You know where." Alejandro and cupped her cheek before going in for his interview.

Heather angrily blushed and bit her teeth while feeling scalding after their talk. It was sometimes hard for her to believe how much he annoyed her so much and how he could make blush at the same time.

Their relationship was hard to define at the moment and while Heather was sure he had forgiven her, she knew he didn't trust her. She wasn't sure if she trusted him or how to regain his trust, if she even wanted it. But with that aside she was certain she would be meeting him in his room later again.
