It was either the forest or the mine.
The forest was chosen by the guys only because Gwen has claustrophobia,so they all went to the forest.
They were walking along the path.
"What are we doing again?" Lindsay was confused.(as always)
"Just don't split from the group,okay?" Trent was tired of explaining everything to her.
Gwen seemed sad about something.
She needed some kind of support.
"Cody?" She asked him so only him and Gwen heard what they were talking about.
"Yea,what's up?" Cody seemed happy to talk to Gwen.
"Well,the thing is...I don't really know who to love anymore." Gwen wasn't able to make a decision.
By the way,before we get further into this chapter,all of these events happened after Gwen and Trent broke up,so after Total Drama:Action,so you aren't confused.
Now,back to your regular story.
"Well,I'm not sure if I can give you any advice,but hey,I know you will make the right decision." Cody seemed nice about Gwen confessing to him.
"Thanks,I appreciate it,and I'm sorry for,you know,crotch hits on the boat challenge." Gwen thought it was right to apologize.
"Don't worry about it,I'm fine as long as you're happy." Cody reminded her he doesn't want to be her boyfriend,but just make her happy.
"But,if you want my opinion." Cody continued. "I would not want to be with a guy who took a relationship too far." He pointed at Trent.
"I know what you mean." Gwen seemed reasonable. "But I don't want to make sudden changes."
"Thanks for confessing to me about it,I really didn't expect that." Cody seemed a bit suprised.
"Well,I have forgiven you,so no need to be so scared of me anymore." Gwen cleared their past.
"Alright,thanks for telling me that." Cody was happily thankful.
"Let's just search for this statue." Gwen reminded him why they're here.
"Good call." Cody said.
They were searching for a good half hour.
"Wait a sec..." Duncan read the note again.
"He/she or IT didn't say that it's not hidden." Duncan was making a good point.
"So we gotta check every bush or tree here?" Trent thought it was too much.
"Maybe not." Cody found what looked like another note on top of the tree.
Of course,he was too short.
"I got it." Duncan climbed the tree.
It was inside the time here,Duncan had to use his knife to cut some of the wood to get to it.
He passed the note down to Cody.
Cody started reading:"Clue:your statue might be inside what it's made of."
"So...wood?" Gwen asked.
"I can't imagine anything else." Trent said.
Cody thought for a little.
"That doesn't necessarily mean it's in a tree." Cody reminded them. Everyone stopped.
"It could be in a fallen tree,anything made out of wood,or It can be something else,not wood." Cody listed a few options.
"Well than,let's start." Duncan said.
"Wouldn't that take,like,forever?" Lindsay said a bit lazily.
"We could split up." Trent suggested.
"Yea,let's do that." Gwen said. "I'll go with Trent."
"Sounds good." Trent and Gwen went in one direction.
"You think they will make out?" Duncan asked Cody,grinning.
"I don't know,they might not like each other anymore,but who knows?" Cody said,walking off with Duncan and Lindsay.

Meanwhile...

"Look for anything that could lead to it." Gwen said.
"Yea,okay." Trent followed her lead.
"Look,Trent,what happened to us?" Gwen suddenly asked.
"You tell me,you broke up with me." Trent blamed Gwen.
"You took it too far." Gwen reminded him.
"Look,that whole "9" thing is not because of you." Trent said.
"I know,but I still feel like you didn't wanna slow down a bit." Gwen said.
"Fine,I'm sorry,let's just look for this statue,okay?" Trent asked.
"Okay.." Gwen just accepted the fact they aren't in a relationship anymore.

Meanwhile...

"GAH,It could be anywhere!" Duncan was getting upset because they wasted a lot of time.
"Relax,we might find it if we just focus." Cody said to him.
"Might? Really? So you say there's a chance we may never get out of here?!" Duncan was getting angrier.
"Well,if you put it that way." Cody made the wrong choice.
"Just,don't talk to me,geek." Duncan still didn't like Cody that much.
And that's what he did,he didn't speak to Duncan again.
"Hey,I found a pretty looking piece." Duncan and Cody raised an eyebrow.
"God,another Lindsay moment." Duncan was annoyed.
"Yea,no kidding." Cody didn't trust her.
"Look at it!" Lindsay showed them the wolf statue.
"Ummmm...WHERE THE HECK DID YOU FIND IT?!" Duncan asked loudly. "WE WERE LOOKING ALL OVER IT!"
"It was on the beach,next to some wood planks." Lindsay said.
"Didn't it say INSIDE what's it made out of?" Cody asked.
"Wait,this is...SANDSTONE." Duncan had no words to say "...I..don't got nothing to say."
"I guess he/she or IT expected for us to think the obvious thing." Cody said.
"Yeah,probably,let's go find Trent and Gwen." Duncan pointed the path they took.
They shortly found them.
Guess what,they were talking happily to each other and laughed.
"Who broke up again?" Duncan's voice was heard.
"I guess nobody." Gwen smiled happily.
"Anyway,we found the statue." Cody said,and Lindsay showed them the statue.
"One down,right?" Gwen asked.
"Actually.." Duncan showed them the knife. "2 down."
"Nice,where did you get that?" Gwen asked.
"We found it in the shed." Trent remembered.
"This is going fast,I must admit." Cody said.
"But,the toughest challenge is ahead of us." Duncan said "The Mine." the name gave Gwen the shivers,knowing she would have to go with them.
"Don't we need equipment?" Lindsay asked.
"We can try to explore a bit,I mean the house is still unexplored to the fullest." Trent remembered them.
"So,back to the house?" Cody asked.
"Exactly." Gwen said.
The group of five went back,Trent and Gwen looking at each other happily,because they were officially back together.
