Sunny sat in her dressing room, with Franchesco guarding the door, per usual. She looked at herself in the mirror, feeling as if something was missing. She had a good deal as an aftermath host, Maggie being her crazy, but also funny, best friend, and Capone being her personal punching bag for whenever she needed to get rid of some pent up anger, but even with all that, she just didn't feel right. She loved having Franchesco around, at least, he was one of the few things that reminded her of her wonderful home. Oddly enough, as she thought about him, he knocked on the door.
"Come in!" she called out, spinning around in her chair to face the doorway.
It opened up, but Franchesco wasn't the one who was standing there, far from it, actually. It was a girl, one that was probably around the same age as her, and she was wearing a purple scout leader uniform, and a very, very optimistic smile on her face. She lifted up a box of cookies from seemingly nowhere before tilting her head and making an adorable face, though it seemed to be a lot more befitting of a child than someone who was almost an adult.
"Wanna buy a box?" the girl said in an innocent voice, before opening her eyes to see that Sunny's jaw had dropped in pure astonishment. "Woah, you look like you've seen a ghost or something, what's up with that? A "buddy for life" can certainly stop by and say hi, right?"
"Sophie!" Sunny rushed over to the girl and scooped her up in a big hug, causing the box of cookies to fall to the ground, "I didn't think you'd come out all the way to see me here!"
"Yeah, well, considering that your teammate was the top buyer of our cookies back in our competing days, I figured that I should stop by to try and sell some more. I'm kidding, of course, why wouldn't I wanna surprise one of my best friends?"
"How've you been?" Sunny asked excitedly before setting her back on the ground, "You're outfit is so different, what's up with that?"
"Ah! I'm actually glad you noticed that, you see...grandma is teaching me all about what it takes to be a scout leader! That's right, I am gonna lead my own troop of Wilderness Girls soon enough! I did earn all of the patches, after all, I wanna help some other wishful little girls fulfill their dreams!"
"That's so cool! I've just been dabbling in my music career and bouncing around, looking for things to do. Somehow, that ended up bringing me back to Total Drama, go figure. And what's really strange is that Mr. Boring and Magic Lady called me the other day to say hi!"
"Those two?!" Sophie was a little shocked to hear that they contacted her together, "Woah, I honestly thought that they would never speak to each other again after the race, they were so different than each other."
"Eh, you know how it goes. Sometimes different people can bring out the best in each other. It looks like she is helping him with his business decisions, I couldn't really tell. I thought it was a bit funny, myself."
"You know Sunny, we could always get together with a lot more of our friends from the race. I mean, I'm sure Olive would want to come tag along, even if Becky might not...and Lukas? Heck, we could have a whole reunion!"
"...I would love that," Sunny said with a tear in her eye and a happy smirk.
I'll just lightly explain my current situation, as I'm sure some of you are wondering why my updates have been almost entirely halted to this point. Basically, I got dumped, and even though I know that it was for the best, it still stings. Not only that, but I had to move back in with my mom because I was living with my ex. I'm not sure when my next full update will be, I'm really trying, but my motivation has just been diminished as of late. I really appreciate everybody being patient with me during this time, and I wish I could be more consistent, but until I can finish accepting what has happened to me, I'm afraid that my updates are going to continue to be infrequent. Sorry for the bad news, hope you enjoyed the minis.
