*I own nothing but the character of Vanessa*
*This is one whole day in a chapter, so enjoy! This is the only story I'm working on right now, so I should get the next chapter up ASAP! I hope you enjoy.*
Vanessa walked into the Mess Hall the next morning to find everyone eating breakfast.
"Another outfit? Really girl?" LeShawna asked her. Today she was wearing a gray tank top underneath a sequin silver vest, a pair of light denim capri pants, and silver tennis shoes with gray shoelaces. She wasn't wearing her cowboy hat today, but her usually wavy dark hair was straightened, causing it to be longer than it's usual shoulder-length. Instead of a bright pink V necklace, she was wearing a layered pearl necklace that matched her eyeshadow perfectly. Her lipstick was a silver color that had a nice sheen to it.
"Fashion is my forte." She said with a smile. She then looked around the room and was happy to see Duncan and Gwen talking. She grabbed a piece of watermelon before sitting down next to Duncan.
"Wow, I wonder where they got a robot you." Gwen said to Duncan.
"Oh, Chris has robots of all you guys…and himself." Vanessa said as she wiped her wet face with a napkin.
"Really?" Duncan asked, tossing his muffin at Harold, who it hit in the eye.
"Yeah. They're in studio seven. Chris showed me when he gave me a tour." Vanessa said, chewing at the rind of the watermelon.
"Wait, he has robots of all of us?" Heather asked in amazement.
"Only of you guys. Not your season one friends." Vanessa added.
"Does mine…have hair?" Heather asked excitedly.
"Why don't we go check them out?" Vanessa yelled to everyone. "Yeah!"'s "Sure"'s and "Awesome!"'s resonated throughout the mess hall. Vanessa threw away what remained of her watermelon and grabbed the keys to studio seven. After a few minutes of walking, they had arrived.
"Does anyone else think this is a little…creepy?" Gwen asked, backing up from the door.
"Aw, Gwen's scared of a little dusty studio?" Duncan asked mockingly.
"Shut it!" She yelled, punching him in the arm. The studio they were at was all the way in the back of the property. If you didn't know that it was there, you would never be able to find it.
"Dudes, let's just chill out." Geoff said, raising his hands into the air.
"You guys coming?" Vanessa yelled from inside of the studio. They all walked into the room and gasped. The outside of the studio gave new meaning to the phrase "Never judge a book by it's cover." It was beautiful inside. It looked like a Moroccan palace, but with robots.
"Whoa." Duncan said, eyes widened.
"This is amazing!" Bridgette yelled.
"Why didn't Chris tell us about this place?" LeShawna yelled angrily.
"Hello! This is Chris we're talking about!" Heather yelled. The two girls growled at each other until Gwen broke the silence.
"Hey Trent, how'd you find this place?" Gwen asked Trent, who was nibbling on a granola bar.
"Courtney did." He said simply.
"Oh My Gosh!" Lindsay yelled, snapping everyone out of their own realities.
"It's me!" Lindsay yelled, pointing to her robot self. They were all life-sized and looked exactly like the character they were to look like, even the tiny details. Everybody then gasped and went to their animatronic counterparts.
"This is so cool!" Owen yelled, awestruck. Everyone agreed and began to play with their robot selves. Vanessa was enjoying the looks on all their faces, except for Gwen's. She was standing idly by in the corner, a frown plastered on her face.
"What's wrong? This is awesome, right?" Vanessa asked her with a smile.
"Yeah, Vanessa, it really is, but I'm just not in the mood for this right now." She said with a shrug.
"Why? I thought you patched things up with Duncan and everything." Vanessa said as she looked straight into Gwen's eyes.
"I did, honest! But Last night made me think about whether or not he still had feelings for Courtney, and, ugh. It's complicated." Gwen tried to explain.
"Well, I'll make you a deal. Have fun, and I'll work on getting to the bottom of this." Vanessa offered.
"Alright, fine. Thanks." She said before walking off.
"No problem." Vanessa whispered. She decided that she would wait a while to investigate. For the rest of the day, everyone played and had battles with their robot selves. Heather shaved her robot's head and constructed a wig that strongly resembled her long dark hair she used to have. Bridgette and Geoff ended up making out the rest of the day, and the rest received a lecture on robot mechanics from Harold that lasted pretty long. When Vanessa noticed it was dark outside, she had everyone put away their clones and come back with her. They did as they were told and began to walk back.
"Why is there even a building back here?" Gwen asked curiously.
"Because Chris likes to hide things from us I think." Owen replied.
"He always has." Vanessa muttered.
"Okay this place is really, really creeping me out." Gwen said nervously, backing up into Duncan.
"I can't believe this place creeps you out." Duncan said with a laugh.
"I don't know why it does, 'kay. So shut it." She said before walking away.
"What's her problem?" He asked Vanessa.
"What happened yesterday made her wonder if you still like Courtney." Vanessa whispered.
"But that wasn't even me!" He defended.
"I know, but it made her wonder nonetheless." She hissed.
"So what do I do?" Duncan asked as if it weren't completely obvious.
"TELL HER YOU DON'T!" She yelled.
"Oh." He said before walking over to Gwen. She couldn't hear the exchange very well, but she picked up a few "don't"'s , "not"'s, and "Courtney"'s. Gwen laughed and then they were silent upon entering the mess hall.
"Finally" LeShawna groaned.
"I'll go get the food. I snuck away and put some stuff in the oven." DJ said with a wink. After that, everyone sat down and enjoyed DJ's Mama's Chicken Noodle soup. Everybody also enjoyed the steamed veggies, as no one had lunch. After that, DJ served up some piping hot cherry pie, and people literally tackled each other to get a slice.
"Calm down, there's plenty for everybody." DJ said with a smile. That didn't stop everyone from mowing down DJ to get a slice. Vanessa ended up getting a huge piece. She smiled and went to gloat about it to the others.
"Look how big of a slice I got." She said with a proud smile. "Hey," she began after a moment, "Where'd they go?" She asked. Everyone knew who she meant.
"Arguing." DJ said with a frown.
"Outside by the trailers." Trent pointed in the direction of the trailers. Vanessa picked up her plate of pie and went to eavesdrop on the conversation.
"I'm telling, you, it wasn't me!" Duncan yelled.
"Well then who do you suppose it was?" Gwen screamed back.
"How should I know?"
"Guys, guys, where's the fire?" Vanessa interrupted, coming out of her hiding place.
"Look around you." Duncan said sarcastically. She stopped and looked around only to notice her trailer was gone.
"Where's my trailer?" Vanessa yelled frantically. The girls' and the boys' trailers were both here, but Vanessa's was nowhere in sight!
"That's what I was asking Duncan." Gwen said as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"I had nothing to do with it!" Duncan defended.
"Guys, your missing the point!" Vanessa yelled.
"Hey guys!" Lindsay yelled as she ran up to the arguing trio.
"Linds, what are you doing here?" Duncan asked curiously.
"Well, were all eating some cherry pie," Lindsay began. After she poked Vanessa's pie and licked her finger, she continued. "And then, Tyler said he was tired and wanted to go to sleep. Or maybe that was Owen…" She said as she put her finger on her chin and stared off into space. "Oh, yeah, so he took out a flashlight and shined it and stuff, and we saw some really weird thing at the top of the big mountain." She said.
"Weird how?" Gwen asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Weird, like, weird. Okay, bye!" She said, waving quickly.
"Uh Vanessa…" Duncan spoke up. He had opened his lighter and the flame was in the direction of the huge hill.
"What?" She asked as she inspected the ground where her trailer once was.
"I think I found your trailer." Duncan said, pointing to the hill. Sure enough, Vanessa's trailer was hanging right off the edge of the mountain.
"So you didn't mess with it?" Gwen asked perplexedly.
"I told you!" Duncan yelled angrily.
"How was I supposed to know?" She said as she pointed to herself.
"Um, you could've used this thing they call 'trust'" he said in air quotes. She smacked him on the arm and let out a low growl.
"I do trust you." She said back.
"Then why didn't you believe me?" He asked quietly
"I don't know…I guess, it's just. Ugh!"
"This conversation never happened?" Duncan asked with a smile.
"Agreed." She said hesitantly.
"Uh, Guys, I really hate to ruin the moment, but I think you're forgetting something." Vanessa hinted.
"What?" Duncan and Gwen asked at the same time.
"My trailer's about to fall to it's death!" She yelled angrily.
"Throw a trampoline under it." Duncan said nonchalantly.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" Vanessa screamed. At that moment, steam could've poured out of her ears.
"Actually, no. Get rid of the springs, and your trailer will be fine." Gwen explained.
"How do you two know this?" Vanessa asked suspiciously.
"No comment." They said at the same time.
"Aw, you guys are so adorable." Vanessa said dreamily.
"Multiple personality much?" Gwen asked.
"Go to sleep!" Vanessa commanded.
"Night." They said at the same before going to their separate trailers. Everyone soon followed, Vanessa included, once she saved he trailer, of course.
