Been a while since I got to this story, but I get the perfect chance. Now I know what you guys are thinking, that all six main characters are going to be heroes. Well, this chapter will dissuade you of that notion. Disclaimer: I don't own Total Drama or 6teen.

Chapter 3: Nebula

Bridgette had just showed up for her new job at Vegan Island, which to her seemed like the perfect place. According to her aunt, not consuming animal flesh was natural to their people, so imagine her surprise when she learned that there were humans who did so by choice. Not that she would change her new friends, or her boyfriend Geoff, for anything. Her only concern was for her boss, Starr. Jude had mentioned dating her briefly before she decided to go goth. That hadn't been what ended their relationship, but rather later when Starr became a nerd and him take an IQ test.

"Hey there," Starr said as she came over to open the island. Her appearance was rather shocking to Bridgette. From the grass skirt, t-shirt, and visor, Starr looked just like she did when Jude first started dating her. "That's...," Bridgette started, but then said, "You know what, I'm not gonna ask. Anyway, looks like we already have some customers to start." "Then let's get started," Starr said. The day continued and there was little talking between the two of them, mostly because of how awkward Bridgette felt. She had a number of questions, but if she started spouting them off now, she'd never be able to focus on work.

When the day finally ended, Starr said, "You've been quiet for some time? Is there something on your mind?" "There's a lot on my mind," Bridgette said, "And I have no idea where to begin. First off, what was with that whole IQ test that had you give up on Jude?" Starr sighed. "I didn't really give up on him, per se. There are things about me that... Well, I don't want to go into it. I'm just disappointed that he scored a 65. I really wanted him back." "For the record," Bridgette said, "I think someone tested him wrong. We gave him the same test, and he even did the test himself at one point. He scored a 175. Jude's an official genius."

Starr's eyes widened. "No way! But how did he score so low with the test I handed him? Not that it matters now. I gave up the nerd scene months ago. And the goth scene." "What's so bad about...?" Bridgette started, then her hyper-sensitive ears picked up a scream across the mall. She sighed. "Why does the universe keep metas working so hard?" Starr raised an eyebrow, but Bridgette had already headed off for the nearest bathroom. Starr tapped her chin. "Too many bean salads? Wait, she didn't have any bean salads, or anything for that matter..."

Flying through the mall, Bridgette finally reached where her friends were waiting for her. And she also saw the face of a familiar foe. "Drex Raven. Did you dust off that overpaid lawyer of yours after all these months?" Drex smirked at Bridgette. "I would have broken out sooner, but there was no word of you for a few weeks. I figured if you were taking a break, why not let you have it." Bridgette shook her head. "Well, that was civilized of you. So, what did you come up with for my 'secret weakness' this time? And it had better not be another piece of my home planet."

Drex got out a small bazooka and fired. The projectile bounced harmlessly off Bridgette and did little else. Martin caught the projectile as it sailed through the air and looked at it. "Is this... Aluminum foil?" "Uh... Yeah...," Drex said, clearly waiting for something. Geoff walked up to Bridgette. "Anything?" "Not really," Bridgette said, "What was your rationale this time, Drex?" "He thought the element was poison to your physiology," Sarah quipped. Bridgette sighed and would have said something more, but a dark aura was already lifting Drex into the air. "Uh, Mystica?" "That's not me," Gwen replied. Up above them, Duncan spotted another goth girl with clear energy glowing in her hands.

"Who are you?," he asked as the woman dropped down. She made a gesture and Drex fell asleep. Jude took a look at her and his eyes widened. "Starr?! I didn't know you had powers!" Starr, having spotted Jude, was just as surprised. "Wow, good thing I used a sleep spell on this guy." She dropped Drex and walked up to Jude. "Bridgette... Uh... She told me about how you retook the test. I'm surprised you never brought it up after that." "I thought that was my last chance," Jude admitted, "I tried having other relationships after that. They never panned out..." Starr smiled. "Well, maybe we could try again. 'Cause you know, I never stopped having feelings for you." Jude smiled.

At the Archives, Starr explained her powers. "That day Jude saw me in goth attire, it wasn't really makeup, my powers somehow changed my skin color and hair color." "That's not unheard of," Martin said, "Some powers are so extreme they cause physical alterations that, depending on the power, can become permanent." "I thought becoming part of the clique would disguise it," Starr said, "That sort of thing was never my scene." She turned to Gwen. "No offense." "Hey, I only got in this 'cause black is my color," Gwen said. That made everyone else laugh.

"When I learned blending in wasn't helping my growing powers," Starr continued, "I joined the nerd clique hoping to use their research to help control it. Eventually I succeeded, and learned enough to become a hero in my own right. My goth name, Nebula, seemed like the perfect codename." "And we're grateful to find yet another dragon soul," Martin said, "Now that you are inducted into Dragon Squad, we have the power of Magic to aid us in future conflicts." "I know I'm glad that everything's been explained," Jude said. Starr giggled and pulled Jude in for a deep kiss. "Man, I've missed those," Jude said. "And full points for not puking in her mouth," Jonesy commented, causing everyone else to gag.
