Area 52 Challenge has just been completed

Courtney caught herself wishing she was in the elimination room, and not in first class. She wanted Gwen gone more than anything, if only to relieve some of the tension in the group or some of the weight on her heart. She hated to admit, but she didn't really want Duncan to leave.

She scrawled pen across paper. She'd been keeping a journal to save her time with the total drama cast, something she'd neglected to do during the previous seasons. It felt good to let emotion flow out of her and onto the page. It felt like she was released for a while.

When I step outside of my body and look in on myself she wrote I don't like what I see anymore. I feel used and wasted and pathetic now. I want somebody to notice that, I want Duncan to notice that. I want him to tell me that he still loves me, and pull me back when I walk away, and kiss me. It kills every moment that he doesn't. He hasn't yet, and I don't think that he ever will. I think maybe it's really over this time, permanently. I wish that I'd known it was the end; I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye.

She was interrupted by Sierra, still cutting out paper Gwen's and mashing them between her hands, across from her. She snipped at the paper body with her scissors and finally cut the head free.

"Boyfriend stealing is wrong" she muttered, before a sudden cry of "wrong!"

I wish our team was in the elimination room Courtney continued to write I'd like a chance to jump.

She began to make her way to the elimination room, crossing her fingers and praying that Duncan wasn't jumping out of the plane tonight. That would only be another missed opportunity to say goodbye. As she left her seat, she noted that Gwen was missing, probably with the same idea as herself. After all, she thought, he hers to care about now. Courtney strode away from the winners cabin and toward Duncan. Of course Gwen was there already, safely hidden behind a totem pole. Courtney stopped in her tracks when she recognised the Goth's figure peering from round the totem to catch a glimpse of the eliminated.

"Tyler," she heard Chris say, "You're out!"

Courtney breathed a sigh of relief, just audible to Gwen as she turned to meet her eyes. Both females' eyes widened as they stood stiffly in position. It was like an unspoken apology, I'm sorry that I kissed your boyfriend and I'm sorry that we can't be friends anymore. Courtney broke from her trance long enough to rush to the other team, scream at them for voting off Tyler and not Duncan, and leave before she started to tear up again.
