Here she was back at the camp that started the whole TD series. Back where she thought she met the love of her life, even though they didn't get together for another two seasons. She was dreading seeing him again and she dragged LeShawna and Zel to a secluded area of the camp hoping to hide.

"Honey you can't keep hiding from him," LeShawna told her as Zel was checking the trees for hidden cameras.

"I know but I didn't want our first face to face to be on national TV, and even worst live," she huffed, knowing besides Zel, LeShawna was the only person here who knew the whole Duncan story.

"Girl where is that spunky Goth girl who told everyone like it is and poured fire ants in Heather's bed," LeShawna said trying to cheer up her best friend. "Although you aren't as pale as I remember."

"I like to sketch on the beach at sunset, guess my love of sunsets added some color," Gwen replied as Zel jumped out of a tree with a camera in hand.

"I told you they had this forest wired with cameras!" Zel screamed as she waved her prize around.

"Where did you find this girl she's nuts," LeShawna commented as Zel slammed the camera against a tree smashing it then ran off screaming into the forest.

"We took the same ceramics class and she had trouble keeping roommates so I moved in not wanting to stay in my old apartment because my roommates hated my lizards," Gwen replied as she watched Zel run by once more. "She's really a great friend just goes crazy under the pressure of new situations."

"Crazy," LeShawna shook her head as she brushed a leaf off her green dress shirt. "How did you like the new clothes I sent you?"

"I loved them," Gwen said as she leaned back wearing the white shirt with dark grey stripes that was off the shoulders. "Everyone always asks me where I get my clothes and I smile and tell them LeShawna made them and give out your business cards. How is the clothing shop business?"

"Excellent, and now I know where my California online business is coming from," LeShawna laughed, thinking about her New York City based business. "My little California girl is working my digs."

"Does the dock of shame count as a short pier?" Zel asked popping up behind them.

"Sure why?" Gwen asked as she tried not to be startled by Zel popping up.

"Gonna take a long walk then," she said then ran off.

"She's almost as crazy as Izzy," LeShawna noted as she shook her head. "You know it may be better to talk to him before the show."

"Just like you are talking to Harold right now," Gwen stated, knowing LeShawna was avoiding him because after the show Harold had made a career as a beat boxer and had moved on and was dating a super model from France.

"Just because he wants to be with some tramp from France it's none of my business but just because it's none of my business doesn't mean I have to sit there and listen to him go on and on about that hussy!" LeShawna huffed as Trent entered the clearing. "Hey Trent what are you doing out here?"

"Escaping the craziness of the camp," Trent replied as he sat down next to LeShawna on the log. "Duncan just pants Harold for revenge for TDA and Courtney is throwing a hissy fit at Duncan being so childish. Then Cody jumped in saying we should all just get along and Bridgette and Geoff have snuck off somewhere to rekindle there camp romance. The cabins are going crazy right now and I just wanted some air and space away from all that noise."

"Mm I can't believe it's been five years and almost everything is exactly the same," LeShawna commented as she shook her head.

"Well almost everything," Gwen said as she thought about what five years has done to the cast.

Sadie and Katie where no longer friends after a fight they had over a chat board post, the girls refused to even speak to each other. Owen had done another reality show where he lost all his extra weight but somewhere he had also lost his friendly attitude. His new personality reminded Gwen of Justin's all about him tude. Bridgette and Geoff had gone their spate ways when Geoff was offered to host all TD aftermath shows and Bridgette was traveling the world as a pro surfer. DJ was still the same except his animal curse had been removed.

Gwen's thoughts where interrupted when Chef ran through the woods being chased by Izzy who was shooting at him with a plastic dart gun. So some campers had changed and some were still there crazy self. Gwen didn't feel like she changed much just the depressed lonely Goth kid she always was just with a better tan. Tomorrow they would do the live reunion and then she would forget this place once more and move on with her life.

The island was cleaned up and back to the way she remembered it, apparently it was rented out a lot to TD fans. With the money the TD spin offs made they de-toxified the island, mostly to help get the EPA off Chris's back. Then someone came up with the idea to have fans visit the island, and they found hundreds of fans willing to spend a lot of money to spend a night in the cabins. Here she was just wanting to get off the island these people paid ridiculous amounts for.

Conversation was lost on her and she said her good nights as she made her way back to the cabins. As she walked she prayed to whatever god or spirit would listen to her that she would make it to the cabin without seeing Duncan. Of course with her luck she face not only him but her.

"She doesn't want you so just face the fact that I was the best you ever will have and accept my proposal," Courtney ordered as Gwen ducked behind trees hoping not to be seen.

"Not gonna happen princess," Duncan said as he scrapped his knife along a branch making the end pointy. He was sitting on a stump and Courtney began to pace in front of him.

"Look it works out well for both of us," she started her speech that he had heard numerous of times since she moved to California. "If I ever want to become governor of California I need the celebrity credit which you have. As of right now I don't see you having any other prospects and your pathetic hope that Gwen will come running back to you is sick."

"No what is pathetic is you following me everywhere trying to get me to take you back when it's never going to happen," he said as he stood up and through his stick in the ground. "So is your obsession with Gwen. I can handle the reality she doesn't want to be with me, I moved on. Do yourself a favor and move on Courtney because you're really starting to piss me off."

"Duncan!" Courtney called after him as he stormed off.

Stomping her foot in frustration she stomped off the opposite way Duncan went. Letting out a breath she was holding Gwen made sure the coast was clear and she ran off. Luckily she got back to the cabin without further incident. Tomorrow night was all she had to get through and then she was gone.
