Chapter 2 - Weird Thoughts

Playa de Losers - Pool Area

The twenty-two teenagers were all hanging around the pool area of Playa de Losers, on the island where the reality show "Total Drama Island" took place. It was the day after the end of Total Drama Action, Duncan had won the million dollars, and now everybody was celebrating the end of their contracts with the show. Tomorrow everyone would be going back home, so they wanted to party as much as they could before they all went their seperate ways.

A volleyball net had been set up in the pool. The ones playing were Leshawna, Harold, DJ, and Trent. Owen and Izzy were both eating at the buffet table. The table was already halfway cleaned through. Tyler and Eva were throwing a frisbee to each other. Tyler looked as if he was having fun, while Eva had the same look she always wore on her face, an angry one. She would throw the frisbee too far and poor Tyler kept stumbling trying to catch it.

Noah was trying to read, but the constant blabbing of Katie and Sadie about Justin, who was diving off the diving board, was keeping him from concentrating on his book. Ezekiel was laying in lounge chair, wearing his sunglasses and his Z chain. On the other side of the pool were Lindsay and Beth, who were sunbathing in two more lounge chairs. Near them were Bridgette and Geoff, making out as usual.

Duncan, Courtney and Gwen were all at the cabana. Courtney was trying to read a magazine, but Duncan was listening to his Upod a little too loudly. She had to yell to get his attention. Gwen was sitting a couple seats away from the couple, listening to them bicker. She laughed as Duncan stood up for himself, they both turned to her.

Courtney was glaring daggers at Gwen, making her a little nervous. Duncan however, looked at her thoughtfully, which made her blush a little. Seeing this, Courtney looked back at Duncan and angrily pushed him into the pool.

Everyone looked like they were having fun, except for two of the them.

Heather was sitting apart from everyone else, reading her magazine. No one was paying the former raven-haired girl any mind. Why would they? After everything she put them through.

The other person was Cody. He was sitting in the hot tub with his arms crossed on the side, his head resting on his arms. He was looking toward the pool. His mind was still focused on that place he was dreaming about.

"But was it a dream?" Cody thought in his head. A place like that couldn't exist in anything but a dream. Those monsters that he saw couldn't have been real. Or could they? When the monsters actually hit him with their attacks, they would actually hurt. Cody knew that someone couldn't actually get hurt in their own dream, could they? and surely one would wake up out of fright from falling into a seemingly endless abyss in a dream like that wouldn't they?

Cody sighed, putting his head in his arms. "This is so confusing." he said aloud.

Bridgette and Geoff finally broke away from their long kissing to catch their breath. It was then that Bridgette looked over and saw Cody.

"Is Cody alright?" she asked her boyfriend. She was concerned about Cody's meloncholy-like state. "He looks depressed."

Geoff looked over toward the tech geek. "Beats me Bridge," said Geoff. "He looks like he missed out on the sickest party ever."

They looked over at Cody again, and saw him put his head into his arms. Bridgette's concern for him grew after seeing this.

"Tyler says he's been like this all day." said DJ, standing near them. He had obviously decided to take a break from volleyball. He too was looking at Cody with concern.

"Did something happen to him?" Bridgette asked him. DJ shrugged.

"Apparently he had a strange dream last night that really freaked him out. That's what Tyler told me anyway." DJ frowned in the direction of the tech geek. "Poor guy, looks like it's really bothering him."

The surfer girl looked back to the tech geek too. She hated seeing someone look so down, even if it was someone who she barely even associated with while on this show. Geoff looked down at his girlfriend, noticing the worried look on her face. He then smiled and said "You should go talk to him babe."

Bridgette turned back to her boyfriend. "Me?" she asked him. he nodded. "But, why me?"

"Cause, you totally know how to lift someone's spirits." he replied, then he looked at her with an adoring look. "Heck, you lift my spirits just by walking into the room."

She giggled when he said that, then she kissed his cheek. "Alright, I'll go talk to him." She got up from her seat and walked to where Cody was.

Cody was still covering his face in his arms, he heard footsteps that sounded like they were coming toward him, but he didn't look up until someone said his name. "Hey Cody, what's up?"

He lifted his head and looked up. Standing in front of him was the blonde surfer girl, Bridgette. Cody was a bit startled. He wasn't expecting Bridgette to come over to where he was. They had never spoken to each other for the whole summer they were here. Cody would've normally been thrilled that a girl as pretty as Bridgette would come talk to him willingly, but the dream from last night was still hanging on his every thought.

Cody sighed and turned away from her. "Oh, hey Bridgette. It's nothing" he answered sadly.

Bridgette was worried now. This sulking behavior was very rare for Cody. Usually he'd of hit on Gwen about ten times now. Something was really bothering him. Was it that dream DJ was talking about? She had to get the bottom of this.

"You know Cody, I'm a pretty good judge of character." She told him, kneeling down and putting her hand on his shoulder. "I can tell when someone's feeling troubled or depressed."

Cody looked back at her and sighed again. "It's stupid really." he told her.

"I don't think it is." said Bridgette, smiling. "Not if you're acting like this. Now tell me what's wrong." She got into the hot water with him. She put her arm on the edge of the tub and looked right at Cody, giving him her full attention.

Her smile made Cody feel better. And he was starting to feel that if he didn't get his thoughts out soon, his head would explode. So he decided to tell her.

"Well, I've been having these... weird thoughts lately." began Cody.

Bridgette raised her eyebrows at Cody's vague phrase. "What kind of thoughts?" she asked curiously.

"It's..." started Cody, trying to find the right words to say. "it's like, is any of this for real? or not?" he finished.

Bridgette looked stumped and confused. How do you answer that? Cody saw her face, and his spirits fell.

"See, I told you it was stupid." he said, hanging his head sadly.

Bridgette hastily replied, "Oh! no no no! That's not stupid at all." she lied, but only to further get to the bottom of what was making Cody feel this way.

Cody looked back at her, rather shocked. "R-Really?" he stammered.

"Of course." she answered with an awkward chuckle, but still smiling at him. Getting a grip, the surfer girl then rested her head on her hand and asked, "So, how long have you been having these thoughts?"

Cody felt relieved. He found that talking with Bridgette about all of this was very comforting. Finally, he felt confident enough, and looked at the surfer girl and told her what was on his mind.

"Well, I had this dream last night. It was so weird, and I can't get it out of my head. I've been thinking about it all day."

"What was your dream about?"

"No idea. It made no sense whatsoever."

"What didn't make sense?" asked the voice of Izzy.

"Daah!" Cody yelped loudly. The crazy redhead was kneeling down at the edge of the jacuzzi and had totally snuck up on the two of them.

"Oh. Hi Izzy." greeted Bridgette after regaining her composure. "How long were you sitting there?"

"A couple minutes." Izzy replied swiftly. "I've always had a talent for sneaking up on people." she laughed. She then turned back to Cody.

"So, what doesn't make sense? I know a thing or two about that."

Cody and Bridgette glanced at each other in confusion before the former spoke. "Well... I was just about to tell Bridgette about this dream I had last night."

"Oooooh, I've got to hear this." Izzy jumped into the hot tub between Bridgette and Cody, splashing them in the process. "I don't mean to brag, but when it comes to having weird dreams that never make sense, I could write a book about all the ones I have." Bridgette merely rolled her eyes.

"Okay..." Cody began. He wasn't expecting to share this with both Bridgette and Izzy. "I remember going to sleep. When I opened my eyes, I was in this dark place. Standing on a large stained-glass floor with a girl and a bunch of pictures on it. Then three stands rose up from the ground with a sword, a staff and a shield sitting on them. Then this weird voice told me I had to pick one of them and give up another in order to continue."

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Izzy interrupted with her hand raised. "Which one did you pick?"

"I picked the sword."

"Nice one. Izzy's impressed." she told him, making him flush a little. "I would've gone with the sword too. Much more useful than a stupid staff or shield. But it's still not as good as a bow and arrow."

"Oh please!" someone scoffed behind Cody. The three of them looked up and saw Courtney walking toward them before joining them in the hot tub. Now Cody was starting to feel really nervous, but excited at the same time. He was now sharing a hot tub with three of the hottest girls at the resort, something that he never pictured doing in his wildest dreams.

"What are you doing here Courtney?" asked Bridgette politely.

"Hmph! Getting away from Duncan." answered Courtney, looking rather annoyed. She refocused on Izzy. "Anyway, how is the bow superior to the sword? Once you run out of arrows, your basically screwed."

"Hello? have you ever tried to snipe anything with a sword in real life? I have. Its really hard."

Freaked out, Bridgette scooted away from Izzy and in between Cody and Courtney.

"So, what happened next Cody?" she persisted. Izzy and Courtney looked to him as well.

Momentarily forgetting he was in the middle of a story because of the company he now had, Cody refocused and told them the rest. He told them about how he had to give up another one of the weapons, and how the ground broke from under him after giving up the shield. He told them about fighting the shadowy creatures, and that after seemingly getting back to the hotel, Courtney, Duncan and Gwen each asked him a personal question in the same voice that he had been hearing all through his experience. Finally, Cody told them about his fight with the huge, dark monster and getting sucked into this darkness after defeating it.

"Next thing I knew I was back in my room, with Tyler calling my name. And. That's it really." Cody finished with a sigh. "It was so bizarre that it's pretty much been on my mind all day today. I just... don't know what it was or what it could mean..."

The three girls just sat in the water staring at Cody after finishing his story. Neither of them knew what to say. Courtney decided to break the silence first.

"That is one strange, bizzare dream Cody."

"Right?" Cody agreed. "That's what I'm saying."

"Looks like being on this show finally made one of us crack." Heather teased. She had apparently been listening to the story the whole time.

Then something white and liquidy landed on her bald head. Looking up they saw a seagull above her. Heather than screamed and ran off into the resort, while everybody laughed.

"I oddly agree with her." said Courtney laughing with the others. Then she got out of the hot tub and went back to the cabana. Izzy got out as well, thanking Cody for telling her such a wonderfully weird story, and walked back to the buffet table to join Owen. This left just Bridgette and Cody alone in the hot tub now.

"Well, I haven't snapped." Cody told Bridgette. "At least I hope not... It just...felt so real." he said quitely, hanging his head. He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked back up to see Bridgette looking at him with a smile on her face.

"Hey, I don't know where your getting these thoughts from, or why you're having these dreams." she told him. "But. I know you'll work them out soon."

That made Cody smile. He felt so much better now that he got all of that out of his system.

"Thanks Bridgette. I needed to get all that out."

"Aww, come here you." she pulled Cody into a hug. The tech geek wasn't expecting this, and he was blushing like crazy, but he hugged her back all the same. "It's no problem."

Suddenly, someone started yelling. The two broke the hug and looked to where the yelling was coming from. The cabana. Duncan and Courtney seemed to be arguing.

"Why were talking to her?!" screamed Courtney, pointing at Gwen. Duncan and Gwen were apparently just talking to each other and this was why Courtney was angry. But no one was really shocked, there had been a lot of tension between her and Gwen during the show as she thought the goth was hanging out with Duncan too often.

"We were just talking!" Duncan retaliated, getting angry himself. "What's the big deal?!"

Everyone was looking at the two of them now. Cody and Bridgette got out of the jacuzzi and walked over to the arguing couple. In the distance there was a loud crack of thunder. And the sky looked like it was starting to turn gray.

"Just talking?!" scoffed Courtney, disbelief written all over her face. "You looked like you were doing more than just talking!"

"I don't know what you're talking about!" snapped Duncan.

"Arrgh! Whatever! I don't wanna talk to you right now!" the brunette walked away from her boyfriend and, instead of going into the hotel, she ran through the gates of the pool area and went toward the woods.

Everyone went back to what they were doing. Gwen looked at Duncan. "Shouldn't you go after her?" she asked him. He shook his head.

"Nah. She'll be back, and she'll be over it once she does."

Another crack of thunder sounded, but this time everybody heard it. Cody looked up and saw that the sky had turned pretty gray in the last few minutes. Geoff walked over to where he and the surfer girl were standing.

"Bridgette, lets get inside." he said. "It looks like there's a major storm coming. Plus its been a whole twenty minutes since I've made out with you."

Bridgette giggled. "Alright I'm coming baby." She started walking with him back to the hotel. she looked back though and saw that Cody wasn't following them.

"Hey, aren't you coming in?" Bridgette asked him.

"No, I think I'll just stay out here a little longer." Cody answered.

"Are you sure, dude?" asked Geoff, thoroughly confused.

"Yeah. You guys go on, I'll be alright." They left him and went inside. Bridgette left somewhat reluctantly.

"Are you sure we should just leave him out there with a storm coming?" Bridgette asked Geoff.

"Hey, if its what he wants to do, then its what he wants to." said Geoff. "So did you cheer him up?"

"I hope so. He told me he was acting like that because of a dream he had last night."

"Huh." he said simply. He wasn't much into talking about one's dreams. The two of them made it inside and went to the lounge area. "So." he said pulling Bridgette closer to him. "Shall we continue where we left off?"

Bridgette smirked and grabbed Geoff's face. "Let's." Then they started to make out again.

Back outside, Cody dried off and went to the changing rooms to change back into his clothes. He decided to just bring them to the pool just in case. When he left, he walked over to the edge of the gate that looked out toward the lake.

He stood there with his arms cossed on the railing and looking out at the lake. He was still thinking about everything that had happened over the last twenty-four hours in his dream. After about ten minutes, there was another loud roar of thunder. The sky was really gray now. Cody felt that now was as good a time as any to head back inside the hotel before he possibly got rained on. As he got to the entrance though he looked up and saw something strange.

Above the entrance to the hotel, on the stone wall, was what looked like a large keyhole. As Cody got a closer look at it, he saw that it was indeed a large keyhole.

"That's strange." Cody thought to himself. "That wasn't there before."

Before he could think about this any further, he heard something behind him. He turned around and saw a strange figure standing behind one of the large fake palm trees. The figure was wearing a brown cloak with his hood up, so Cody couldn't see his face. The tech geek merely stared at this individual, feeling really creeped out as it looked like this person was trying to hide from the boy.

"Who...who are you?" Cody asked timidly.

"I've come to see the door to this world." the figure said. He had a deep, somewhat menacing voice.

Cody stood rotted to the spot before tilting his head in confusion. "Huh?"

"This world has been connected."

"What are you talking about?"

"Tied to the darkness...soon to be completely eclipsed."

Cody was confused. Who was this guy? What door? What did he mean when he said that this world was connected? Was this guy some intern of Chris' who was playing a trick on him?

He wasn't sure, cause he was wearing a hood, but Cody thought that this man was looking above the resort's entrance. At the keyhole that had appeared out of nowhere. Cody turned back around to look at it too. There didn't seem to be anything special about the keyhole, well except that this was the first time he had seen it all summer. He turned back to the hooded man, only to see that he was gone.

"Ooookaaay..." he said to himself, crossing his arms and tilting his head to the side. "That was really weird."

Disney Castle - Library

Donald.

Sorry to rush off without sayin' goodbye, but there's big trouble brewin'. Not sure why, but the stars have been blinkin' out, one by one. And that means disaster can't be far behind. I hate to leave you all but I've gotta go check into it.

There's someone with a "key" - the key to our survival. So I need you and Goofy to go find him and his three guardians. Got it? We need that key or we're doomed! So go to Traverse Town and find Leon. He'll point you in the right direction.

P.S.

Would you apologize to Minnie for me?

Thanks pal.

"Oh dear!" exclaimed Daisy. "What could this mean?"

"It means..." said Minnie, feeling rather uneasy. "We'll just have to trust the king."

"Gawrsh, I sure hope he's all right." said Goofy, pouting and putting his fingers to his chin.

Donald then saluted the queen "Your highness." The queen turned her attention to him. "Don't worry. We'll find this "key", and bring him back to the castle."

"Thank you," said Queen Minnie, "both of you."

Donald then looked at Daisy. "Daisy, can you take care of-"

"Of course" Daisy replied. "You be careful now, both of you."

"We hope for your safe return," said the Queen, "please help the king."

Donald put his hand to his chest in salute. He looked over to the queen, who smiled at he looked to Daisy, who nodded. Then he looked next to her and saw Goofy saluting him.

"You're coming too!" Donald yelled as he grabbed the canine knight by the arm and dragged him with him.

Disney Castle - Gummi Hangar

Donald and Goofy were walking down a long spiral staircase, lit only by mousehead-shaped lighting. They were wearing new clothes now. This was so they wouldn't let people in on where they were from while they explored the other worlds on their mission to find this "key." Donald now wore a blue jacket and had a blue hat on his head. Goofy now wore a green sweater with a black vest, yellow pants and a long, yellow hat.

After what seemed like twenty minutes of walking, the duo finally reached the bottom of the staircase and entered what looked like part operations room for the whole castle and part hangar bay. There was a large red and yellow ship in the center of the room. There were also mechanical gloves attached to poles moving around the ceiling.

Donald stepped up to a pipe and began talking through it.

"Hello up there? Donald Duck to launch crew. Anytime you're ready."

The one who heard him was a small chipmunk wearing an orange uniform. Another chipmunk, who wore the same uniform, but had a large red nose and large front teeth, pulled a lever. Two of the hands grabbed Donald and Goofy and picked them up off the ground. Unfortunately they picked them up upside-down. Donald had his arms crossed, obviously annoyed at this.

After the two were put into the ship, the yellow dog jumped into the ship with them. A large pair of sliding doors opened in front of the ship. However as the trio were about to launch, another pair of doors opened from beneath the ship. So the ship fell down through there, while Donald and Goofy screamed with fright as they fell.

Post Note:

Things seem to be getting more weird at Wawanakwa aren't they? What will happen next? Stay tuned to find out.
