A.N : Hey This Is Zane B. Here. This is sort of a "What If?" story. It covers the secret relationship of Duncan and Gwen that starts to develop near the end of Season 1. Just remember, this is a "What If?", so please.... no nasty comment on the couple I chose.
P.S. Disclaimer: I do NOT, repeat Not, own Total Drama Island or its Characters. Teletoon owns them, cause trust me, If I owned them... there would be a lot more Fights, Challenges, Cursing, and Romance.
Now, On with the story...........
Fighting The Shame
Chapter 1: Isolated
Duncan's P.O.V
I sat on the steps and watched as they pulled- No Dragged- LeShawna off of the place we've called our temporary home for the pass 5 to 6 weeks. It was kinda random to see my, I guess I would call her, friend get dragged off the island without any reason why. Gwen tried to grab LeShawna from the two camera men, but was scared off by Chief's glare. I chuckled to myself. To think that Gwen, after facing that Psycho killer alone, would still be scared of Chief. I gaze at the stars for a few seconds and sigh.
I don't want to admit it, but I kind of miss Courtney. I mean sure we've have our fights and disagreements, but ever since she kissed me...She's been stuck on my mind. I shake my head, trying to get those out of my head, and my attention is brought back to Gwen who is now sitting on the edge of the "Dock Of Shame" watching the boat take LeShawna to some distant area. I sigh and stand. Time to cheer her up.
Normal P.O.V
Gwen sighed as she watched the steamboat disappear into the distance. "You look like you need someone to talk to....", she heard a deep voice say from behind her. Gwen turned her head to see her friend Duncan. He walked down the dock and sat besides her, as she sighed and turned her head. "I feel like I've lost every one I can talk to. Well besides you and Owen", Gwen said, focusing on a duck sitting in the water. "I hear ya, Sweet Heart...", Duncan replied, patting her on the back.
"I mean with LeShawna gone I'm pretty much left with that bitch, Heather", Gwen exclaimed, laying back on the dock. Duncan nodded, also laying on the dock. " I kind of miss home...", she said, observing the stars. Duncan turned his head to look at her, "Really?". " Well.... yea. I mean at home, I wouldn't be doing these stupid challenges", Gwen answered before looking at him, "What about you?". Duncan shrugged. "Not really. I practically live in Juve"he answered sitting up. Gwen nodded before yawning. " I'm a little tired tonight...", She said standing up, "Guess I'll turn in early....".
"Your welcome to stay in our cabin...", Duncan replied, before the air was filled with a fowl stench. Gwen and Duncan looked towards the cabins to see Owen eating beans. "I think I'll pass that offer tonight...", Gwen said, giggling a little. Duncan smiled at her, "There's that smile that I know...". He turned around and headed towards the Guy's Cabin. "See ya, Sweet Heart....", he shouted back at her. Gwen smiled, "Good night, Duncan....".
The Next Day
Gwen's P.O.V
The morning sun woke me up from my peaceful slumber. I was actually happy to get up this morning. After my little talk with Duncan, I started feeling better. I sat up and stretched, letting out a yawn. I turned my head to look at Heather, who was still sleeping. She had on a sleeping mask, and ear plugs. An idea suddenly popped into my head. I quickly grabbed a fresh pair of clothes, my towel, and my soap. I then closed the curtains and set up a few booby traps, before heading out the door towards the Showers. Heather is gonna have really good surprise waiting for her.
Normal P.O.V
Gwen entered the Shower Cabin and was immediately greeted by a gust of warm air and the sound of running water. She guess that one of the boys had woken up early and decided to get a head start on the day. And by the look of the clothes hanging next to the stall, it was Duncan. Gwen smiled, her thoughts going back to last night. "Hey Duncan, your up early...", Gwen said as she discarded her clothing. Duncan, who was not surprised at the least that someone was in the cabin with him, smirked. "I could say the same for you sweet heart....", he replied.
Gwen stepped inside one of the shower stalls and turned on the hot water. She sighed in relief as the water soon turned warm. "You sound cheerful this morning", Duncan said, as he rinsed the soap off of his body. Gwen shampooed her hair, "Well thanks to you, I actually feel better...". Duncan turned the water off, and grabbed his towel. "Thats good to know, Sweet Heart....", he said, putting on his clothes and stepping out of the stall. "See ya in the dining cabin.., he said before walking out the door.
Gwen put on her clothes and headed out the door. She headed towards the dining cabin when she heard a crash, followed by a loud thud, and then a scream. Gwen laughed, "Guess the queen finally woke up...". She opened the door to the dining to see Duncan and Owen talking, while scarffing down Chief's "Wonderful" waffles. Duncan looked up from where he was sitting and motioned for Gwen to come and sit next to them. She grabs a tray, gets her food and sits down. "Hey, did you guys here that odd sound just a second ago?", Owen asked. Duncan nodded, "Yea, What the hell was that anyway?".
Gwen giggled, "I think we're about to found out in.....3....2....1...". Just then, a greasy, powder covered, limping Heather came dragging into the room. "GWEN!!! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!", She shouted before falling over. "Nice...", Duncan said, high fiving Gwen.

Duncan's P.O.V
After watching Heather endlessly try to "murder" Gwen for 3 hours straight, I decided to tour the the island. The only time I really ever saw the island fully was during that "Snooze-A-Thon" Challenge that Chris gave us on our 4th day on the island. But with us running so fast, I barely got the chance to look at everything. So I snuck off while Owen was trying to calm Heather down, and walked right into the forest. I watch as the birds fly by, the beavers slap tails, and the moose stands there looking awkward. But what really catches my eye is something carved into the tree.
Its the picture of Courtney I carved into the tree a few weeks ago. I trace the lines with my fingers and sigh. "You sure do miss her, don't you?", a voice said from behind me. I slowly turn my head to see Gwen sketching in her book. I stand up and walk over to her. "When did you...", I try to say but I'm too distracted by the picture she drew. It looked exactly like Courtney and me. "Wow. Your a great artist...", I say without exactly thinking first. She smiles at me. "Thanks Duncan. No one has ever commented on my pictures before...", she said, putting her signature on the picture and handing it to me. I smile at her, "Thanks".
Gwen smiled again, "No problem..". This is the first time I've seen her smile this much. She didn't even smile like this when she was with Trent. In fact she actually has a cute smile...... I quickly shake those thoughts out of my head. "So, we should keep walking...", I say to break the awkward silence, before turning quickly and continuing to walk.
Gwen's P.O.V
I could've swore I just saw Duncan blush just now. No, maybe I'm imagining things, but I have to admit.... he is kinda cute. No Gwen, you shouldn't be thinking like, I mean I have Trent to think about. But Trent has never made me smile this much..... I need to stop thinking about this for awhile. I look up to see that Duncan is a lot farther away then he was before. "Hey, Wait up!!", I shout, before running after him.
TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI
Normal P.O.V
Duncan and Gwen spent the last 2 ½ hours walking around the forest until they realized...they had no idea where they were. "Umm, Gwen.....", Duncan said as they looked around at the sun setting sky. "Yea, Duncan?", Gwen replied, leaning against a tree and blowing a strand of hair out of her face. "Do you, by any chance, have a map or compass on you... right now?", he asked, turning to look at her. She shook her head, "Nope, Sorry...". Duncan sighed. "At least it couldn't get any worse..",he thought. As if the gods were listening, it began to poor, heavily. "Of course....", Duncan exclaimed, sighing.
"We need to find shelter....", Gwen said, looking around. Duncan looked around, until he spotted a cave a few feet away from them. "Lets go in there..", he said, pointing at the cave's opening. Gwen nods, grabs his hand and pulls him towards the cave. They sit down and watch the rain pour down heavily. Duncan sighs, "We're probably gonna be here for awhile..". Gwen shivers and holds herself. "We'll probably die in a few hours....", Gwen said, her teeth chattering. Duncan looked at her and sighed. "Here...", he said before taking off his shirt and handing it to her. Gwen blushed and put the shirt on over her top.
"But aren't you gonna get sick?", she asked, trying hard not to look at him. Duncan sits next to her, "No, I've been through worst in Juve". Gwen watched as he laid back against a soft rock. Her eyes scanned over his body, from his head to his shoes. Duncan yawned, "I'm kinda tired...". His eye lids began to drop, as he slowly drifted of to the land of slumber. Gwen sighed and laid next to him, looking up at the cave ceiling as she slowly drifted off.
The Next Day
Duncan's P.O.V
I woke up the next morning and began wiping the crust from my eyes. I stretched and tried to sit up, when I felt some extra weight around my abdomen. I look down to see that Gwen was laying her head there. I smiled, this reminds me of that camping challenge that Chris gave us. Courtney looked so cute, laying on me. But Gwen looks cuter than her.......
I shook my head. Why have I been thinking like this lately. Must be all of this mountain fresh air. I gentle shook Gwen awake. As she woke up, she began to look around. I could tell she must've forgotten about what happened, but it would come back to her in a few minutes....... or seconds. She quickly jumped up and turned around. Obviously trying to hide that blushed that had appeared on her face when she figured out where she had been laying a few minutes ago. I smirked before looking out into the opening of the cave. "Hey look, it stopped raining.....".
Normal P.O.V
And Indeed, it had stopped raining. Gwen smiled and stretched, before realizing she still had Duncan's shirt on. "Here......", she said, removing the shirt from her body and handing it to him. "Thanks, Sweet Heart...", he said, putting it on and standing up."We Should probably get back to camp now.", Gwen said, standing up and walking out of the cave. Duncan followed behind her as they tried again to find their way back.

Gwen's P.O.V
It took at least an hour and a half before we made it back to the campsite. It seemed unusually quiet, as we walked towards the Dining cabin. I would never admit this, but I've never been hungrier in my entire life than I am right now. I'd even settle for Chief's day old food. Duncan held the door open for me as we walked in. "Well look who decided to show up for lunch....", Heather said the minute we walked in.
Normal P.O.V
"So did you two lovebirds have a nice night together...", Heather asked, with a grin on her face. Gwen blushed, "Shut up, you fat cow....". Heather gasped before throwing the slop on her plate at her. Gwen dodged it before lunging at Heather. "Girl Fight!!", Duncan and Owen simultaneously shouted as the watched the two girls wrestle on the floor.
TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI
Gwen's P.O.V
That Heater is such a BITCH!!!!! I can't stand her, she makes me sick. These thoughts kept running through my heads as I walked around the campsite. Trying to cool myself down a little. A soft thud catches my attention as I turn towards the guys cabin. I look inside the window to see Duncan and Heather on the floor... making Out!! "Oh My God!", I shout. Their heads turned around quickly, looking at me in shock.
TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI-TDI
