Note: Sorry for the late update. I was going to update by Tuesday, but when I started writing Monday I found out my grandma past a way and couldn't write anything happy and lovey. :( But the reviews and kind people who put my story on alerts made me very happy and I found a reason to write more. I loved all of them and I loved the one that said the story felt like it could happen. That meant a lot since I had worried about if I was off on the chars. :) Anyway, here's Monday.
Scott sat through his morning classes bored out of his mind. College was sooo boring. It was like high school, but with days off during the week and much more work. But Scott needed to be here, he needed to prove that he was smart and worth being alive.
"Scott, I don't think you need to prove anything." Dawn whispered softly. She smiled at him.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Scott hissed out.
"Okay." Dawn said as she wrote some notes in her book.

"You should know you don't need to act tough." Dawn said as the she and Scott made their way towards their next class.
"I don't act tuff. I am tuff." Scott hissed out. Dawn couldn't help but giggle. He was like a child acting out for daddy. It was cute.
"I don't think tough guys spend the night next to their sick friend in hopes that person wakes up." Dawn pointed out.
"What? That's super tuff. I'm such a man that I feel for some people on a deeper level than others." Scott tried to defend himself.
"Real man cry?" Dawn asked before the two entered their class.
"Yes and no. A real man only tears when it is 100% needed. Anything time and he's a pussy." Scott said throwing himself into his seat.
"Scott, you I think that is not true. Man can feel whatever they want and not be seen as weak."
"That is sooo not true." Scott stated as he turned to face Dawn. "If that were true, than the male culture will be so much different."
Before Dawn could fight that remark, the class started.

After class ended, Scott left to change his clothes and call Dusk. Dawn knew that Dusk didn't like not hearing from people she cared about often. If Scott missed his check in day, Dusk would start freaking out and pull out some knives screaming about wolves attacking. Dawn didn't understand why her sister acted that why, but Scott had said that he understood. Dawn waved goodbye to Scott before making her way towards her next class.

Scott sighed as he pulled out his phone. He didn't know how he was going to tell Dusk about the events of yesterday. He was scared about what the red head would do to him. He took in as much air as his lungs could take as he dialed her number. He let the air out in a panic as she answered after the first ring.
"Scott!" Dusk screamed super on edge. Oh, shit he was going to die! She was going to kill him. "When were you going to tell me?" Where could he hide that she couldn't find him. "You kissed my sister!"
"What?" Scott stated confused. "How did you find that out?"
"I have a camera in Courtney's room to make sure she doesn't do drugs." Dusk said as if that were normal.
"That's a smart idea." Scott said as he thought it over.
"I approve of the kiss." Dusk said as she chewed on something. "It was a great first kiss. I have an idea about how your next kiss should be."
"No Thank You! I think I know how I'm going to kiss her next!" Scott breathed out. "Not that I'm going to kiss her again. That was a one time thing. Never happening again."
"Okay." Dusk said. "I think the Duncan idea is a bad idea." She added after what felt like forever.
"What else can we do?"
"We could give Courtney a bat and help her beat the shit out of her father." Dusk said with a duh. "It's going to help her. She's needs to let it all out. Not deal with all the inside issues. Once she gets all the rage and hurt out by beating him until point of death, she'll be able to let go and deal with all the inside issues better."
"We can't let her do that." Scott sighed out. Why was his best friend so crazy? "You and I may be able to get out of almost killing people, or in my being in the room as you almost kill somebody, but Courtney isn't going to be so lucky."
"I still say it's better than Duncan helping. He can't do anything right"
"You aren't going to beat her father in her place. It won't help her if you do it." Scott said as he thought about the best way to reason with the crazy red head.
"I know! But it would've be so much fun." Dusk said with a laugh.

Dawn sat down next to Gwen and Duncan. It was odd seeing him around. He had been so focused on finding Courtney that Dawn was starting to think he forgot all about Gwen. There was a small pitch of guilt within the heart of the blonde girl as she thought about what she was planning to do. Duncan and Gwen may not stay together after he saw Courtney. Dawn had lied to Gwen when she said that Duncan picked her over Courtney. Duncan had picked easy over stressful, not the one he loved more. There was a difference as clear as day and night.
"Hello." Dawn smiled as she glance over at Duncan.
"Hey, how was that thing with Scott?" Gwen asked. "You never told me what happened."
"Oh, I guess I must have forgotten after that long chat with Courtney. She would not stop talking about her work with Scott." Dawn said hoping that it didn't sound like she was fishing for Duncan to say something.
"What? You spoke with Courtney?" Duncan yelled in amazement. "I never thought to ask Scott's girlfriend." Duncan said as he smashed his hand over his face.
"She's not his girlfriend." Gwen said a little upset.
"It is true that he and I are not dating." Dawn stated evenly.
"Yea, they haven't even kissed." Gwen pointed out.
"Yes." Dawn said before her mind ran to the other day when he had kissed her. "We have never even kissed. Nor do I ever wish to kiss him." Dawn stated. Now was not the time to deal with the fact that she had kissed Scott.
"Whatever!" Duncan yelled. "Just go on about Courtney!"
"There is nothing to go on about." Dawn lied. "She and I talked last night. She had stated a wish to see some of the form cast of Total Drama. I am sure that means either I or both of you." Dawn tilted her head to the side as if in thought. "It would be able best if the two of you saw her at different times though."
"I guess that makes sense." Gwen said as she thought the matter over.
"Yea," Duncan said trying to act like he wasn't dying to see his former princess.
"This is great. I shall get back in touch with you two and we shall plan when it is best to see her." Dawn stated before she jumped to her feet. "I must go speak with Courtney on the matter first and check with her. Gwen will give you my number Duncan." She giggled out before leaving the pair to their day.

Dawn ran towards Scott's room. She was half proud of herself and half upset with herself. She was playing with the lives of others and they didn't even know it. She was acting like a villain, but she was going to save a life. Could it be that a wrong could make a right? Scott smiled back at Dawn as he opened his room door.
"How did it go?" Scott asked.
"It went well." Dawn said as she threw her bag onto the red heads bed. "It was just as we planned it last night. I only hope that you are right in believing Duncan will reach out to me before Gwen. If Gwen tells him before you or I, than it will not work as we want it. He will rush off without thinking and upset Courtney further." Dawn explained her fear.
"Trust me. I know how to read what people will do as you can read auras." Scott said with a smirk. Dawn smiled over joyed.
"You believe in my gift now!" Dawn smiled brightly.
"If I didn't believe in your powers, why would I ask you to read Court?" Scott asked rolling his eyes. Dawn smile with a slight blush.
"Do you wish to get a bite to eat before your class?" Dawn asked hoping to have dinner with the red headed boy.
"Yea, I kinda didn't eat lunch." Scott said rubbing the back of his neck.
"Scott!" You can't miss meals!" Dawn yelled in horror. "You'll get sick!"
"Look, do you wanna go eat or not?" Scott yelled pissed off that she was acting like a mom, not that he knew how moms acted in the first place.
"Okay, okay." Dawn said pleasing her hands in her lap. "I will try not to correct your wrong behavior anymore tonight."
"That will be a nice change." Scott said reaching for his wallet. "I'm taking you to a diner. I need meat."
"Scott-" Dawn started before being cut off by Scott.
"No, you said you'd not try to change me tonight." Scott said pointing a finger into the blonde girls face. "You have to keep your world or hell will come on Earth." Dawn laughed at the joke.

Dawn watched Scott take a bite out of a burger with lots of bacon. Her face turned into that of disgust. He tossed in a few bits of bacon that he ordered on the side. It was truly a sicking sight. She pushed a way her bowl of soup. She didn't feel in the mood to eat anymore.
"What's wrong?" Scott said chewing his food. "You act like no one ever ate meat in front of you."
"I have seen people eat meat, but not like you." Dawn sad frowning as she placed her head into her palms and watched him take another bite. "You seem to think that all the meat in the world will disappear if you do not eat it now."
"It's not that. I just enjoy the taste. It's like how Dusk enjoys knives or B not talking." Scott said as he put his burger down. "Why do you care so much about how much meat I eat? Is it a hippie thing?" Scott sighed out.
"It is not a hippie thing. I believe in rebirth. That cow, you are eating, could have been my mother, sister, father, or brother." Dawn huffed out.
"Like I said 'Hippie thing.'" Scott said taking a bite out of his burger. "Dusk said something like that once. She said she enjoyed eating meat knowing that those on the bottom of the rebirth scale are those who did sinful actions and that she was helping to teach them to behave better."
"That is cruel." Dawn said in shock. "I can not believe that Dusk would say such a thing."
"It's Dusk." Scott said rolling his eyes. "She says a lot that isn't right."
"Even so, I can not believe she said that." Dawn said sure that her sister would not say any such thing.
"I don't see-" Scott started to say before a rude green haired punk sat next to Dawn and cut him off.
"Hey guys." Duncan said looking around as if he didn't belong.
"Hello." Dawn said feeling weird about the fact that Duncan just sat by her.
"Hey," Scott said pissed off that Duncan sat by his girl. Not that she was his girl. She was just the girl on a date with him... on an outing with him. Scott corrected himself.
"Listen I want to talk about Courtney." He said as he eyed Scott. Scott almost chocked on his burger.
"Really?" Dawn asked amazed. Her face soon turned into a frown. "I doubt that you would be happy to hear about her though."
"What?" Duncan asked. "I thought she wasn't as bad as Scott said cuz of what you said."
"She's worse." Scott said eating some bacon.
"It is true." Dawn said.
"How bad is bad?" Duncan half halfheartedly laughed out.
"She does drugs." Dawn said softly.
"Doing drugs doesn't cover it." Scott said. "She's done a lot of drugs and is willing to get high off of anything." Scott said inching the back side of his head. "She can't even go to the bathroom without someone making sure she doesn't try to get high."
"Your lying!" Duncan yelled out in rage. "Courtney would never get like that!" Many of the diners turned to look at the punk.
"You don't know her than." Scott hissed back in a low tone. "You don't even know half the shit she went through."
"Scott!" Dawn warned. "Now is not the time." Dawn sent a glance towards Scott reminding him of the plan.
"Listen, I don't like you." Scott started off. "But I'm not lying about Courtney. I could take you to see her or something if you'd like." Scott said though he hated the idea. Duncan's eyes softened at the thought of seeing Courtney. He really looked like he wanted to go.
"But there would be a few rules." Dawn said. "A few things you wouldn't be able to do." She added softly.
"I don't care much for being told what to do." Duncan said trying to act like a rebel, but instead he sounded like a weak child.
"This isn't about making you do anything. It's about what's best for Court." Scott said as he looked over towards Dawn.
"As bad as Courtney is, she could still get worse." Dawn said in agreement with Scott. "Come back and talk with us after you thought this matter over. I will not let Gwen see Courtney until I hear back from you first." The blonde promised in hopes of easing the punks mind.

"Well, dinner was ruined." Scott said as he and Dawn walked back towards their dorm.
"Do you not have class right now?" Dawn asked as the two neared the dorm building.
"Yea, but I'm not going." Scott said as he throw his arms behind his head. He closed his eyes in thought.
"But that is wrong." Dawn gasped out. Scott smirked as he peeked an eye opened.
"Let's go to Dusk's place tomorrow." Scott said changing the subject. "I wanna see if the place was always like that."
"Like what?" Dawn asked unhappy that Scott was cutting class.
"I don't know how to put it. Just like how it is now." Scott said as he shrugged his shoulders in thought. "Does it matter? Look, if nothing else you can see me work my magic."
"Your magic?" Dawn questioned. "You mean watch you paint?" Dawn smiled softly. "I would enjoy that." She brushed her hair from her face.
"I don't know if I'll paint." Scott said as he rubbed the back of his neck. "But I'll do somethin worth seeing."
"I do not see the harm in going to see my sister with you." Dawn smiled brightly. "I heard from father that her room was something to be seen."
"Really?" Scott asked unsure why that was. "I don't get why he'd say that."
"I'll see you in the morning at Dawn." Dawn said.
"Okay. Dawn, I'll see you at Dawn." Scott said with a small. "That sounds odd doesn't it."
"Just a little." Dawn said holding her thumb and pointing finger out with a small spaces between them. Scott reached out for her hand and chuckled. Dawn blushed a slightly pink. She pulled a way from to open her door and smiled at Scott. "You really are a worth wild guy, Scott." She said before leaving Scott alone in the hallway.
"Yea, but not worthy of the likes of you." He whispered softly so that no one would hear him. He's eyes shined with longing as he looked down at his empty hand. It was already cold and missed the warmth of Dawn. "Never worthy of the likes of you." He said thinking about the island.
