Disclaimer: I own neither TDI nor those yummy Lucky Charms that Beth and Geoff are chowing down on.
Beth and Geoff were sitting in Geoff's room eating their Lucky Charms. "You know," Beth thought, "I didn't notice before, but his room is really messy." Geoff's room looked like his suitcase had exploded inside of it. When he had gotten there, his clothes had been neatly hanged up in his closet, but they didn't stay there long. Where they were sitting on his bed was the one spot in the room that wasn't covered in clothes. "Oh yeah!" Beth said suddenly. "I totally forgot about this 'cuz…." She paused for a second and blushed. "Do you still want to do the breakup steps?" she continued.
Geoff's spoon stopped on its way to his mouth. "Oh… sure," he said, completely unenthusiastically. "I'm fine without it, but she seems really excited about this…." he thought.
Somehow, Beth didn't seem to notice his lack of enthusiasm. "Soooo, next we're going to get rid of all the stuff that reminds you of her!"
Geoff's hands shot up to his precious cowboy hat. He clutched it protectively. "Do we have to get rid of everything?" he asked.
"Not if you don't want to…. We can skip this step," she suggested.
He looked really relieved. "Let's skip it!"
"Okay then, the next step is keeping busy!" she said brightly. "What's your favorite thing to do?"
"P-" She cut him off.
"Besides partying."
"Ummm….. surfing, I guess?"
"Geoff, I don't know how to surf."
"You don't know how to surf!" he practically yelled. "That's almost a crime! I'm gonna teach you how to surf." He jumped off the bed and picked his way across the floor. Beth followed him.
"Good thing they have surfboards here," Geoff said excitedly.
"Yeah," Beth said, not as excited. She was slightly apprehensive about surfing.
Geoff waded into the water and motioned for her to follow. She picked up her surfboard and followed.
Beth did a really impressive looking (but accidental and painful) flip off of her board. Geoff watched in sympathy as she surfaced coughing.
"Good try," he said. "You'll catch the next one!"
"Geoff, you've said that every time I wiped out. And we've been surfing, or you've been surfing and I've been wiping out, so long that I don't even know how many times that is."
"Well, I'm sure that you will catch the next one!" His face beamed with transparent honesty.
Beth sighed and smiled. "And he actually believed it every time he said that I'd 'catch the next one'." She started to swim towards shore. "I'm kinda hungry. Want to get some lunch with me?"
"Sure!" Geoff followed Beth onto the shore. The two walked towards the main part of the resort.
Beth and Geoff stood at the lunch buffet, getting some of the mouth-watering ribs that the resort offered. "The food here almost makes up for the horrible stuff Chef fed us last season," Beth commented.
"Nothing could make up for that," Geoff said. "Remember that Meatloaf Surprise he made us? I actually saw it move! It had legs!"
"Yeah, a lot of the stuff they served us seemed to still be alive," she responded.
"I'm pretty sure he didn't actually heat anything. At most, he might have put it in the blender."
The two laughed as they sat down at the table where most of the ex-contestants were sitting. They continued to laugh and joke, unaware of all the stares directed their way. Beth looked around the table. "Where's Courtney?" she asked.
Leshawna spoke up. "Chris took the girl to do something at the camp." She went back to whispering with Sadie.
Beth gave her an odd look. "Since when is Leshawna good friends with Sadie?" Beth jerked a finger at Leshawna and Sadie and gave Geoff a quizzical look. He shrugged in response.
"Something weird is going on," he thought.
Beth and Geoff finished their meal in silence and quickly vacated the room. "Was that just me," Beth said after they were outside, "Or was that really strange?"
"That definitely not just you," Geoff replied.
"Any ideas about what was with them?"
"None at all."
"Ditto." The two stood in the hallway quietly. "Any ideas on what you want to do?" she asked.
His face lit up. "I've got a great idea!" He started to run down the hallway. Beth followed him unsurely.
"What is this great idea?"
"It's a surprise!"
Geoff led Beth down a flight of stairs into a basement. He turned a corner and opened a door. Beth followed him slowly through the door into a giant cave. Inside the cave, the Boat of Losers was docked. He jumped onboard and motioned for Beth to follow him. She boarded the boat and sat next to Geoff near the wheel. "So where are we going?" she asked.
"I told you, it's a surprise!" he said happily. He turned the keys in the ignition and started to drive the boat out of the cave. Beth shielded her eyes as they drove into the sunlight. Geoff started to hum as he turned the wheel this way and that. He drove the boat around the island and Beth watched as the resort got farther and farther out of view.
"Can I have a hint?" she asked.
"It's pretty!" he replied.
Beth snickered. "That's barely a hint at all."
"I hope she likes this!" Geoff thought excitedly. He started to bounce up and down in anticipation.
Beth watched him, amused. "He's like a little kid! But that's part of his charm," she mused. "It's kind of cute. Wait, I don't actually think that! I mean, yeah, he's kind of cute but I don't like him like that! Or do I? No, I don't! Stop arguing with yourself, Beth!" She took a deep breath and stuck her head off the side of the boat. She gasped in amazement. "Geoff, look! Dolphins!" Her face lit up as she watched the dolphins jump next to the boat.
"She's like a little kid," Geoff thought. "It's really cute. Wait, do I actually think that? I mean, she's really cute but… wait do I like her like that? Or do I? I'm totally confused now….." He looked up and realized that he was about to crash into a patch of rocks. He swerved the boat suddenly and Beth lost her balance. "Whoah, Beth!" He grabbed her, stopping her from falling head first off the boat. The two of them fell backwards onto the floor of the boat. "Hey, are you okay?" he asked.
She turned her head towards him. "Yeah, I think so. Sorry about that." Both of them suddenly realized how close together they were and blushed. The moment was ruined by the boat suddenly coming to a jarring stop. They got up and looked around. The boat had run aground on a beach.
"Haha, we're here," Geoff said sheepishly.
Beth gasped. "It's so…. beautiful!"

AHHHH! In the middle of the night I suddenly had a freakout because I realized I had mistyped part of this chapter.... It's Courtney who disappeared and not Leshawna...... (If you don't know what I'm talking about, you probably didn't read the wrong version, thank God.)
