That night Duncan was avoiding both girls for now, hoping that everything would just work itself out and he wouldn't have a girl fight on his hands. What he wasn't expecting was a visit from Trent in the woods while he was smoking his cigarette.
"Hey man." Trent leaned up against the tree next to Duncan. "The challenge today was pretty brutal."
"I know." Duncan sighed. "I'm just glad that's over."
"Okay, look Duncan." Trent sighed. "I want to talk to you about Gwen."
"Yeah, I figured." Duncan accepted that he couldn't avoid them all forever. "I guess we should talk about it?"
"It's obvious you like Courtney, anyone can see that." Trent told him. "Why don't you take Courtney and I'll take Gwen? You don't need two girls and Gwen did say she liked me in her diary too."
"Attention Campers!" Chris yelled over the intercom. "Please report to the dock of shame!"
"What the hell does he want now?" Duncan sighed as he put his cigarette out on a tree and walked with Trent to the dock of shame.
Trent and Duncan made their way to the dock of shame to see Chris standing there with an evil smirk on his face.
"Attention campers!" Chris announced. "As you noticed it's getting dark out and I have yet another challenge for you!"
"We already had one today." Bridgette reminded him.
"I know!" Chris glared at her. "How about we do another challenge tonight?! I'm sending you all on a camping trip and that means you don't even get those cozy cabins tonight!"
"You're sending us on another challenge?!" Duncan groaned. "That's two challenges in one day!"
"Yeah, I know." Chris laughed. "Gophers on one side of the island and bass on the other side."
"C'mon guys we got this!" Courtney walked over to Duncan and smiled.
"Yeah Gwen." Trent approached her. "Let's go and set up a camp site."
"This is going to suck." Harold sighed.
Courtney grabbed Duncan and pulled him off to the trail in the woods. The rest of the team followed and listened to Courtney's bossy ways. This was yet another reason Duncan liked Courtney in the first place. Sadly, this meant that Duncan wouldn't get to see Gwen at all for a few hours.
While Bridgette and Geoff set up the tent with the help of Harold and DJ, Duncan started to make the fire. While he was making the fire, Courtney approached him and started to watch him make the fire.
"Duncan?" Courtney walked up behind him. "The fire is looking great."
"Thanks Princess." Duncan winked. "It's looking even better with you standing by it."
"I can't believe they're still trying to put up that tent." Courtney smirked. "Hey, can I ask you a question?"
"Shoot." Duncan told her, throwing some pieces of wood into the fire.
"You remember earlier?" Courtney asked. "The talent show? Heather read Gwen's diary?"
"Oh, that." Duncan looked down at the fire. "That was awkward."
"Yeah, it was." Courtney agreed. "You don't have feelings for her, do you?"
"Why?" Duncan smirked. "Do you have feelings for me?"
"Not if you have feelings for Gwen." Courtney rolled her eyes. "I don't like liars and cheaters!"
"Looks like Bridgette got the tent up." Duncan pointed out. "Nice job, Bridgette!"
"You pitch a really awesome tent." Duncan and Courtney heard Trent tell Bridgette. "Just like a guy!"
Bridgette stormed off and Geoff followed her. Normally Duncan would have laughed but he didn't want Courtney to think that he wasn't taking her seriously. He could have told her so many things about her that he already knew from previously dating her but everything he could have told her would have freaked her out at this stage of the game.
"You wanna go check out the tent?" Duncan asked her. "It could be fun."
"I want you to tell me the truth." Courtney crossed her arms. "There isn't anyone else here."
"We're alone." Duncan smiled. "Let's stop talking and enjoy it."
"Enjoy being alone by yourself." Courtney rolled her eyes. "I'm going to get some berries so we won't starve."
Gwen didn't want to be bothered by anyone, she just wanted to be left alone after what happened earlier at the talent show. However Trent wasn't about to let that happen. While Izzy and Owen were talking about bears, Trent went up to Gwen and sat down next to her.
"Hey you." Trent smiled. "How's it going?"
"How do you think it's going?" Gwen glared. "Can you just leave me alone?"
"Not in the woods." Trent told her. "That would be rude of me. You still upset about the whole Heather reading your diary thing?"
"You think?" Gwen smirked. "It's okay though. I borrowed Harold's red ant farm and I'm going to get Heather back."
"You know it's not bad to have feelings for a guy." Trent assured her. "but two? especially when one of the two is into Courtney?"
Gwen glared at him and got up and walked off, leaving Trent sitting by himself. Looks like his attempt to make her feel better wasn't working.
it was about twenty minutes later when most of Duncan's team came back, including Courtney. He decided that this would be the perfect time to get Courtney to sleep next to him in the tent tonight. Gwen wasn't anywhere near him so he figured that this would be the perfect time to work on Courtney.
"I'm not talking to you." Bridgette walked back into the camp with Geoff behind her.
"C'mon!" Geoff sighed. "It was supposed to be a compliment!"
"Hey guys, look what I found." DJ walked into the camp with a rabbit in his arms.
"Dinner?" Duncan went to take it. "I can have it cooked within minutes."
"He's gonna be my new pet." DJ hugged the rabbit. "His name is Bunny."
"Everyone sit down." Duncan told them. "I got a story to tell you guys."
"Oh Brother..." Courtney rolled her eyes but sat down when she saw the others do it.
"Did you guys ever hear the story of the killer in the woods?" Duncan asked them. They all shook their heads 'No' "He has a hook for a hand. He waits until you're all nice and cozy in your tent and then he roams through the woods, like these very woods! He looks for campers that are just like us and then when the timing is right, you'll see a shadow come at your tent and then...HE'LL KILL YOU WITH THE HOOK HE USES FOR HIS HAND!"
"Ahhhh!" everyone yelled at once.
"Let's get in the tent." Geoff suggested. "All of us together."
"Yeah, let's get in." Duncan winked at Courtney.
"You're disgusting." Courtney glared at him but went into the tent with everyone else. They sat there in the tent unable to sleep with the exception of Duncan who seemed pleased and content with how the whole situation was going.
"I have to pee." Bridgette finally spoke up.
"I used a jar." DJ pulled one from behind him, it was filled with his pee. "You wanna use this?"
"I'll just go outside really really quickly." Bridgette told everyone.
Bridgette got out of the tent to go and pee, while she was looking for a place to go to the bathroom a swarm of bats came flying at her and she ending up running towards the fire, this made her shadow look terrifying to the others on the team who ran out of the tent. Bridgette ran past the fire, causing an ember to jump and hit the teams tent, causing the whole thing to burst into flames.
"Sorry guys..." Bridgette awkwardly laughed as she fell next to the fire. "I don't like the woods very much. The being alone part mostly."
"This is all your fault, Duncan!" Courtney yelled. "You're the one who got everyone all freaked out in the middle of the woods and now we're going to have to sleep on the ground!"
"Just admit that you're freaked out." Duncan smirked.
"I am not freaked out!" Courtney yelled as an Owl wooed and Courtney jumped, leaning in towards Duncan who wrapped his arms around her.
"Where's Katie and Sadie?" Geoff asked the team.
"Probably dead." Courtney blushed and pushed herself away from Duncan.
The next morning, around 5:00am the Killer Bass decided they had enough of this challenge and not sleeping so they decided to walk back and claim victory. They made it back first and started to celebrate as the Screaming Gophers came in behind them, seconds after.
"Uh...Killer Bass?" Chris approached them. "I believe you're missing two annoying people from your team, thus making the Gophers the winners!"
"Katie and Sadie?" Courtney asked him. "It's safe to assume that they're no longer with us...or with this world..."
"I think a bear ate them or something?" Duncan shrugged. "We slept on the ground because our tent burned down."
"So?" Heather crossed her arms. "We slept in a tree because Owen and Izzy are morons!"
"Are they dead or not?" Chris seemed bored.
Right at that moment, Sadie and Katie ran out of the woods and hugged each other and giggled.
"We got lost and had a fight!" Katie gasped.
"Then we made up." Sadie nodded. "Now we're BFF's again! You guys don't need to worry!"
"If you were dead we would have won." Courtney glared at them.
"Since they're not..." Chris smirked. "You guys lose."
"Great." Geoff sighed.
They ended up going to vote someone out and they decided on Katie since she seemed to be more annoying than Sadie and one of them had to go since it was their fault that the team lost because they weren't dead. They cried as Katie went to the playa but nobody other than Sadie really cared.
There you guys though! Everyone went camping and Katie got sent home. I hope you guys like the chapter, certain things have changed and it seems like Duncan and Trent are BOTH failing with girls right now. So, hope you guys liked this chapter!
