This idea comes from Explorer of the Unknown.

Total Drama All-Stars had just come to an end, and all the contestants in the history of the show were now having a party to celebrate their troubles. People from both casts congratulated both the finalists Mike and Zoey for not only making it to the end, but also for the fact that their relationship would now have no more troubles.

Anne Maria gave a sad sigh as she just sulked by herself, watching bitterly as that red-haired chick got all the attention from just about everyone. It just wasn't fair! She had already been heartbroken by the fact that Vito was just one of Mike's "alternate personalities", but the fact that some kind of incident happened that resulted in all of them being wiped from existence just made the pain sting all the more. Her dream man turned out to not even be an actual person, and now he was gone forever.

Even worse than that, nobody seemed to pay her sadness any mind as she went off to be by herself with her thoughts. She had no doubt that was a result of them seemingly taking Zoey's side in the love triangle. They all just wrote her off as being a "sleazy man stealer", and that she had it coming.

This was not the case for everyone, though, as Trent watched her from a distance and couldn't help but feel bad for her. He didn't necessarily think that she was a bad person, more so just unaware of the reality of Mike's disorder at the time. He knew that she just made a mistake, as everyone in the world was known for doing. As everyone else went on with their activities, the guitarist went to the tanned Jersey girl to comfort her.

"Hey now, it never does anybody any good to just wallow in their own self pity." He gently tried to console her.

"Oh yeah? I'm fairly certain you felt the exact same way I do right now when your relationship with that goth chick went downhill." She grumbled quietly, not even bothering to look him in the face.

Trent winced at the mention of his failed relationship. "Okay yes, things didn't go well between me and Gwen, but I didn't let that keep him down. I bounced back from it, just like I know you can from this. There will be plenty of other guys like Vito in the future to appreciate you for who you are."

"Yeah, but Vito was the first guy to really take any kind of interest in me, and he turned out to not even be the real thing, so how can you be sure that other guys like him will be real?" She didn't seem convinced by his attempt to make her feel better.

Trent was getting desperate to help this girl not be so down on her failed love life, when his attention was turned to just how much of her tanned skin was exposed as a result of her outfit. Thinking about it brought back some pleasant memories he had with other girls, and also gave him an idea on what to do. Whenever they were feeling down, there was always one thing he did to them that always put a smile back on their face.

So he figured now was as good a time as any to bring that method back. Trent reached over to Anne Maria, and with a single finger, poked at her belly a couple of times. She squealed and pulled away, covering up the spot that was poked. "Don't do that!" She told him in a hushed whisper.

But Trent wasn't about to give up now, not when he had the chance to make her feel anything besides sorrow. He poked at her belly some more, and when she tried to block him, also made her arms a part of his playful assault." Ahh, hehehehehe! Cohohohome on, quihihihihihit it!" Anne Maria told between giggles. "There we go, NOW we're getting somewhere." Trent grinned as his fingers lightly scribbled along his arms. He also reached over and swirled a finger around in her belly button gently, to really drive her nuts.

"I'm seheheheheherious nohohohohow, leheheheheave me alohohohohone!" She told him between her giggles. "You say that you want it to stop, but your not fighting back, so you must enjoy it!" Trent said as he went on with his work. Her giggling turned to light laughter within time, but eventually Trent felt like he wasn't getting anywhere with this, so he decided to try and look for other spots.

As he trailed his fingers up her arms, she let out a sudden yelp when he passed over her shoulders. He rubbed them a little bit, and also lightly poked her neck a bit, getting another yelp from her. That was enough to convince him that these were the next best spots to focus his efforts on.

And he was correct, as he tickled her neck and shoulders, Anne Maria's laughter went up a couple notches. "NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO! NO MOHOHOHOHOHOHORE! HAHAHAHAHAVEN'T I BEEHEEHEEHEEHEHEEHEEHEEN THROUGH ENOHOHOHOUGH ALREHEHEHEHEADY?!" She asked as she howled with laughter. "Uh lemme think about it, no." He grinned slightly as also began to blow light puffs of air on the back of her neck. This really added on to the ticklish sensation. As she continued to laugh under his tickling prowess, he switched things around occasionally, scribbling at her neck with his fingers, and lightly blowing on her arms.

Trent finally stopped, and allowed Anne Maria to catch her breath. Once she did, she got up and smacked him upside the head with a furious blush on her face.

"You had that coming, guitar boy!" She snapped off at him, feeling furious about the whole thing before she took a deep breath, and smiled. "Heh, you know what? You were right, it doesn't do any good to keep to yourself with your misery, and it felt nice to feel something else besides it." She patted his shoulder appreciatively. "Thanks dude, while your way of comforting is kind of weird, your a pretty cool guy."

"Hehe, pleasure to be of service." Trent chuckled as his method was a success. He knew he took a big risk, but it ended up paying off in the end, and now he and Anne Maria went back to the party to enjoy themselves amongst all their fellow competitors.

Well, that was a bit of a hassle, because I originally got this finished, but this website refused to accept it when I tried submitting. And when I was able to, it was all drawn out and weird looking, it's kinda hard to describe. Hope I didn't disappoint, and hope you guys like it.
