2: 00 pm
Duncan was watching TV when the front door opened. "Anybody home?" his brother Richard called out. Duncan left the living room and greeted his brother, then their mother walked out the kitchen and said hello to Richard. "I'm going to lie down for ten minutes," she said, then went upstairs.
Richard and Duncan sat in the living room. "So, mom told me you'll get a portion of the million dollars next week," Richard asked. "Yes," Duncan replied, "And I'm going to buy my own TV, DVD player and computer with some of it and give the rest to my lawyer who got me out of juvie." That moment their mom walked in. "Rich, I was going to buy two bags of rolls at the store but I forgot. Could you get some please?" she asked him. "Okay, mom," he answered. "Sorry to have you leave again after driving for two hours to get here," she apologized. "It's no problem, Mom," Richard told her.
Duncan decided to go as well. While Richard drove, Duncan asked him if he watched any of the Total Drama episodes. He responded that some of his favorites were the paintball challenge and the cooking challenge from TDI. "When you, Geoff, and DJ carried Harold's bed outside while he was sleeping and he woke up the next day and the girls saw him naked was priceless," Richard laughed.
Soon, they arrived at the supermarket. Duncan decided to stay in the car. In the supermarket, Richard found the rolls. He also picked up some orange juice to take back with him. After paying for the items, he returned to the car and drove home.
2:43 pm
Richard unlocked the front door and he and Duncan went inside. They entered the kitchen and saw their mom turning off the oven because the chicken was done. Richard placed the rolls on the counter and placed his orange juice in the fridge. Their mom said thanks, then left to lie down for ten minutes then get ready. Duncan drank some juice and headed to his room. He intended to take a shower at 3:10 pm then get dressed, so laid on his bed, but dozed off. At 3:00 pm, his bedside phone awoke him. It was Courtney, so he picked up. "Hey, what's up," he asked. She said she was leaving in five minutes. "I'm very excited to meet your parents," she added. "Okay, later," Duncan responded, hung up the phone then laid back down. At that moment, his father was opening the front door.
Thoughts started rushing through Duncan's mind about Courtney, what she was going to wear and what questions his parents would ask her. "Hope they don't show her my baby pictures," he thought, "And the picture of me wearing that dorky Muskrat Boy's uniform." Suddenly, he became a bit nervous about what his parents would think of her and questions they might ask her. After a while, he looked at the clock and noticed it was 3:12 pm and rose from his bed and picked out a royal blue jersey shirt with short sleeves and black jeans pants from the closet and some boxers from the dresser, placed them on his bed, and then went into the bathroom to shower.
As he showered, his parents were in their bedroom. "The girl will arrive in a few minutes," Duncan's mom said to her husband as he rested on their bed before taking a shower. She was already dressed and was brushing her medium length blond hair. "I'm only having this dinner to make a good impression on her for Duncan's sake," she added. His father remarked, "Karen, you really don't like this girl, don't you?" Karen responded, "Lance, she left Duncan on the beach when he sprained his ankle to chase after the million dollars in the first season. She'll probably go into her innocent act for our benefit, then after two weeks, she's back to bossing Duncan around and calling him names."
At 3:14 pm, Duncan walked out the shower with a towel wrapped around him and entered his bedroom. He removed the towel and put on his clothes. He took a pair of black sneakers from his closet and put them on. Duncan hated dressing up and was glad his mother has having everyone dress casual. He wasn't wearing the dog collar because his mom didn't like him wearing it at the table. He combed out his Mohawk and decided to take out his earrings. After, he placed the towel in the bathroom and went upstairs to watch TV until Courtney's arrival. He passed the formal dining room and noticed the table wasn't set so Duncan decided to do it. Afterwards, he went into the living room to watch TV. At 3:32pm, Karen walked into the living room. "Did you set the table?" she asked Duncan. He said yes and she thanked him even though she had to switch the cutlery around to their right positions. "Oh, your father's home," she added then went in the kitchen to reheat the food.
