Monday the 15th of August, 1994. The edge of some lake in Central Park, New York City. 10 PM.
Previously in "Total Drama Island: Living In New York"...
Evil genius Noah had been experimenting again and accidentally turned Izzy into a 50 foot giant. Now it's up to Courtney and Duncan with their new super powers of animal transformation and fire maniuplation respectively to stop the giant Izzy.
Meanwhile, Trent's former gang rivals in L.A. came after him and now Gwen and Trent must participate in violent shootouts with a heavy, Tarantinesque aesthetization of violence to flee the city.
And Geoff and Bridgette signed up to a team surfing contest, but Heather put dynamite in their surfing board, it is lit and can stand water and it is about to go off in five, four, three, two, one...
Just kidding.
This is what really happened...
Frozen in place were the three of them. DJ and Bridgette arms wrapped around each other, leaning against a railing overlooking the lake as Geoff looked at them with his mouth wide open after having seen them kiss.
"You guys..."
"Geoff, this isn't what it looks like." Bridgette pleaded.
"Isn't what it looks like...it looks like my best friend kissing my ex-girlfriend!" Geoff exclaimed.
Bridgette and DJ cowered, expecting to get yelled at.
"...And it's so awesome!"
The new couples' eyes sudenly burst open and DJ exclaimed.
"Say what?!"
"I think it's awesome!" Geoff said excited and he approached his best friend and ex-girlfriend.
"Aren't you, you know, mad?" Bridgette asked, doubtful.
"Why would I, Bridge?" Geoff said.
Bridgette looked at him with a face that, without words, clearly said "Isn't it obvious?". The usually obvlivious Geoff, however noticed this and replied accordingly.
"I know that you're my ex-girl and you're my best friend..." Geoff began. "But I know that what I did was horribly wrong and I understand why you broke up with me, Bridge. So I just want you to be happy, and knowing DJ, who is the nicest person in the wrold, I'm sure you'll be really happy."
Bridgette sprinted towards Geoff and wrapped her arms around him, giving him a huge hug.
"Thanks Geoff." Bridgette said.
"Yeah, that's really cool of you man." DJ said, putting his hand on Geoff's shoulder. "Any other dude would've freaked out, but you're too good for that."
"Oh thanks guys." Geoff said, smiling.
"Now come on, let's get back to my place and let's hang out." Bridgette told her ex and her new significant other.
Then, a phone began to ring.
"Oh wait, it's me." Geoff said and whipped out his phone from his pocket.
"Hi, it's Geoff." He said.
A voice was heard on the other line, but neither DJ nor Bridgette could get what it said.
"What?"
The voice went on.
"What do you mean?"
The voice said something brief.
"Why?"
The voice spoke again, this time a longer but still not that extended explanation.
"No...it's OK." Geoff said downtrodden anbd hung up.
"What's up, man?" DJ asked.
"Nothing it's just that...well...I got fired from the show!"
Geoff ran forth and hugged DJ beginning to cry onto his chest.
"What? Why?" Bridgette asked.
"The producer found out I slept with Heather, his daughter and he fired me...they're replacing me with some guy called Carson Daly." Geoff cried.
DJ began to cry too and hugged Geoff.
"I'm sorry, man." DJ cried.
"DJ, you're crushing me." Geoff said with faint pauses between each word.
DJ let go of the depressed party boy.
"Sorry, man."
Bridgette and DJ wrapped and arm each other around Geoff's shoulder.
"Come on Geoff, let's get you to my apartment and I'll make you some cocoa." Bridgette said. "I know you love my cocoa."
"That is true." Geoff said bleakly.
The surfer and the Jamaican looked at each other with doubtful sights and then helped their friend walk.
---
One month later...
Courtney and Bridgette's Apartment, 5 PM.
"You know what, I can't stand it anymore!" Courtney yelped.
"What can't you stand?" Gwen asked.
Courtney, Gwen, Duncan and Trent were at Courtney's place, watching a re-run of the "Chinese Restaurant" Seinfeld episode when Courtney, out of the blue, came up with her outburst.
"I can't stand Geoff's obnoxious sobs...it's been a month since he got fired, can't he just get over it...I mean, doesn't he ever stop to hink how his stupid depression affect others, Duncan and I can't stay over at his place because he cries all night. Doesn't he think of how he annoys other swith his sadness?! With the pressures from college studies all day, I'd like to come home and spend time with my boyfriend without having to hear annoying sobs." Courtney yelled.
"You know some people can be really selfish." Gwen said snidely.
"You know Princess is kinda right, I mean, he should just get over it...it took him about the same time to get over Malibu, he should just forget about it." Duncan said, not taking his eyes off the boob-tube.
Then, the door was pushed open and a sobbing Geoff was brought in by Bridgette and DJ.
"Speak of the pathetically weepy devil." Duncan muttered.
"I'm sorry guys." Geoff said, stopping his sobs. "I'm cool now."
Geoff sat down on a sofa facing tyhe TV while DJ and Bridgette sat by each other on another couch. Then on the TV, an add for the show "Party Animals" flashed bringing Geoff to tears again.
"Oh great, all we need now is Noah and then we'll have ourselves a fiesta." Duncan groaned srcastically.
Then, the door, which Bridgette had left open, was flung open again, letting a desperate Noah Hayden run inside.
"People, I need your help!" He yelled.
"Me and my big mouth." Duncan muttered and slapped himself in the face.
"What's up Noah?" DJ asked kindly.
"I need you guys to help me hide from Izzy." Noah yelped.
"Why?"
"Well, for a long time now, Izzy has been pestering me with disturbing ploits...It seems that she wants to start some sort of romantic relationship with me." Noah said, spitting out the last few words.
"You mean she wants to date you?" Trent asked.
"Precisely."
"Wait, you guys aren't dating?" Gwen asked.
"What? Of course not." Noah exclaimed. "I am an individual of a superior mind who has no time to pester himself with something as trivial as 'relationships'."
"Well, we always assumed that you two were dating." Bridgette said.
"Why would you think that?!" Noah yelled.
"Well, you two are almost always together and we have seen her kiss you many times." Bridgette said. "That's what couples do."
"Seriously?" Noah asked.
The entire group nodded.
"You mean I've been in a 'relationship' with Izzy all this time?" Noah asked, using air comas in "relationship".
The group nodded.
Noah gasped and then fainted, collapsing on the floor.
"What do we do with him?" Gwen asked.
"I have an idea!" Duncan said.
Thirty seconds later, the door to Courtney and Bridgette's apartment was opened and the unconcious Noah was ruthlessly tossed into the hall.
That night, 8 PM.
"Alright girls...first date time again." Bridgette said.
"Don't worry Bridge, your date with DJ, will go just great." Gwen said. "I mean, he really likes you and you two are just great."
"I know...but you can't help feel nervous." Bridgette said.
"You know we've been through this before in '91 and now it's just boring." Courtney said. "Just relax Bridge."
"It's just that..."
"I know, nerves." Courtney said. "Now if you don't mind, I have to go meet up with Duncan."
Courtney sprinted forth and slipepd out of the apartment.
"What got into her?" Gwen asked, rhetorically.
Greenwich Village, The Prime Movie Theater. One hour later...
DJ stood in front of the movie place that I just mentioned in the line above this in bold letters. Nerves of course crawled over him, being the nervous, cowardly giant of kindness and consideration that he was it was only natural for that to happen.
Of course the anxiety and nervous feeling only tripled when he saw the blonde girl he was appearently crushing on approach him.
"Hi DJ." Bridgette said, shy and nervous.
"Hey...Bridge." DJ replied, even more nervous.
"So, wanna go in and watch that movie." Bridgette said. "What are we watching?"
"It's called 'Speed', Duncan picked it for me...it's got Keanu Reeves." DJ said.
"The guy from 'Point Break'?" Bridgette asked, hopeful.
"Yeah, that's the one."
"Oh, I loved 'Point Break', it's the best surf movie I've ever seen." Bridgette said. "And the star is so dreamy."
"Cool...then, let's go." DJ said.
About two hours later...
"That movie was very cool." Bridgette commented.
Of course the adrenaline loving Bridgette would love a movie where Keanu Reeves boards a bus with a bomb on it which will go off if it slows to under 50 m/ph in order to save the people on the bus, including Sandra Bullock from the destructive bus explosion plan started by the villain, played by Dennis Hopper. The sensitive and cowardly DJ however, didn't appreciate it as much as his blonde companion.
"I was scared Bridgette." DJ said, shivering.
The tall guy and the smaller blonde walked over to a railing overlooking Central Park near the movie theater.
"Oh, is DJ a little scared." Bridgette said teasingly, a trick she had learned from her brunette friend. "Maybe a little kiss will cheer you up."
DJ smiled at her and watched as she puckered her lips and leaned in. Not wanting to dissapoint ehr, but still very nervous himself, DJ leaned into her. They kissed, but as soon as DJ tried to wrap his arms around her back, Bridgette's hand instinctively shot forth and slapped his arm away.
"OW." DJ yelped. "What was that for?!"
"Sorry DJ." Bridgette apologized. "Let's try it again."
The blonde surfer girl leaned in again and so did the brickhouse with a heart, however, as soon as he tried to wrap his arms around her back, she slapped him again, but her instincts got a little further this time, making her shoot her knee forth and strike DJ in the place where no man wants to be struck.
"Mama." DJ yelped and clutched himself as he collapsed on his knees.
"DJ I AM SO SORRY!" Bridgette exclaiemd. "It was instinctive, I don't know why I did it...it's just that when you wrapped your arm around me I thoughtt 'oh my god it's DJ doing this' and I just thought it was..."
"You thought maybe it wasn't right." DJ said, still clutching himself and trying to get up. The blonde noticed that DJ's voice was higher pitched than normal when he said this.
"Yeah."
"I think so too..." DJ said. "We've been friends for so long that I don't think it'll ever work."
"But what about with Geoff and me...it worked for us."
"Yeah, but between you and Geoff there's always been some sort of admiration since you emt in fourth grade, between us it's only been friendship, that's why I don't think this is gonna work Bridge, I'm sorry."
"I guess." Bridgette sighed. "But we can still be friends, right?"
"Best friends." DJ said and smiled.
Bridgette hugged DJ in a friendly manner and then said.
"Come on, let's go to my place and maybe we can watch 'Point Break'."
"You're obsessesed with that movie, aren't you?" DJ teased.
"It's really good!" Bridgette exclaimed. "And Keanu Reeves is so dreamy..."
"OK, I get it...you said it like thirty times during the movie." DJ said.
She smiled and punched him playfully on the arm as they walked back to her apartment.
