gman5846- I was thinking on doing that, but then it would mess up some other plans that I have. have my reasons for not switching Gwen to the heroes team. One of them is actually in this chapter.
"Delinquent hero"
Those two words keep repeating itself in my head. I'm standing outside the cabin thinking about the letter Dawn left me yesterday. And about the competition all together. This may be similar to the first time around, but there are also it's differences. I need to be ready since I don't know exactly what to expect. But I'm still not too worried. I've survived 4 seasons of this show, and there's always a surprise when it comes to this show.
"Apple?" I turned around and saw Zoey offering me an apple.
"Don't mind if I do." I said taking the offer.
"Glad you're starting to trust people more. You're people skills have been getting better throughout the season Duncan."
"Guess being on the heroes team has it's affects on me." I said shrugging.
"I'm still not too sure about the heart of gold thing, but I guess to an extent I can be nice. It seems to be what people like about me, and I never really have much of a problem with it. But that doesn't mean I'm completely soft" I said whipping out my pocket knife, but it suddenly breaks.
"What the?! Grrr! Must of been you know who."
Mike soon came along and started talking to Zoey, but she looked kinda scared of him. I motioned to her that I'll be by the tree nearby so that she wouldn't be too nervous. Luckily Mike didn't see me and she picked up on it and gave a slight nod and small smile. Maybe it's because I'm the oldest of a few siblings, but I tend to get kinda protective over my younger friends. Which I'm sure is a bit obvious seeing how I was with Dawn yesterday.
"Morning campers! Please report to the docks!" I'm getting real tired of hearing Chris's voice every morning.
Going to the docks we see Chris there waiting.
"Welcome contestants. Today we'll be paying a visit to the Fun-zone!" He then blew a kazoo and confetti came out of it.
"Yay! That sounds like fun!" Lindsay said clapping, clearly being the only one looking forward to this.
"What's the catch? Is the fun zone just a building caught in fire." Heather says clearly as suspicious as the rest if us, minus Lindsay.
"No."
"Is it a pit of lions" Alejandro guessed.
"Wouldn't that be fun?" Uhh, no. "Nope, you've all been through a lot that I, ok the lawyers thought that you all deserve a treat. Unless you'd rather do something else..."
"NO!!!" We all yelled.
"I thought so. Oh look, here comes our ride." The boat of losers pulled up to the docks with Scott on it.
"I'm back from exile." Scott announced sounding exhausted.
"All aboard!" Our least favorite host yelled while pushing Scott back down on the boat.
"The fun zone is on Boney Island?" I asked as we arrived.
"Yep, makes things more fun."
"Ugh, I forgot how big of a dump this place is." Heather complained as Chris led us to the fun zone.
"Aww chin up. Maybe one of you will find the immunity idol." He said in an attempt to cheer us up.
"Aww I searched all night there is no immunity idol. SAY IT!" Scott said in a at first tired voice, then crazy one with a twitching eye.
"Oh, there here. And they're in the fun zone."
"So they were in an unaccessible place? Why bother sending us here then?!" Heather is not in a good mood today.
...
...
...
HOLD UP, HOLD UP, HOLD UP, HOLD UP, THATS FOUR TIMES! HOLD, THAT'S FOUR AND A HALF!!!
"HOOOOLD THE PHONE! Did you just say there here?! As in more than one?!"
"Excellent grammar observations Duncan. And yes, there are TWO idols hidden in the fun zone." So there were TWO in that god forsaken place this whole time and never told us.
"So there were TWO?! And you never told us?!" I think Courtney is more than a bit ticked off about this.
"Yep." Chris simply said having the nerve to pop the p at the end. He sure is good at surprises that's for sure.
Finally we've made it to a big gate leading to the fun zone.
"Welcome to the outside of the wonderous, outstanding, FUN ZONE!" Why did he sound like a guy welcoming us into a circus. I could have sworn I heard cirus music.
"Yay, I can't wait." I should tell Lindsay that this isn't going to be fun, but she's about to find out anyway. The gates soon opened and we stepped inside. The place looks like a mutated forest from some weird fairy tale.
The gate shut behind us and Chirs's face came on a big screen that seemed to have popped out of nowhere.
"Welcome to the fun zone. Aka, the most dangerous place you've ever been." Objection!
"More dangerous than Area 52?" I asked
"Or a volcano?" Alejandro said.
"Or a crumpling mine?" Zoey added.
"Or inside a mutant shark's mouth." That last one was of course Scott.
"Your challenge is easy." Once again ignoring us. Find eggs, any kind of egg that of course belong to all the terrifying mutants from season four, and place it in your team basket. But be careful, they might not be too happy with you taking their eggs. And could smash you."
"What's so fun about that?" Mike asked.
"It's fun-"
"To watch." All of us season one vets, including Lindsay, said in unison.
"How did you guys-" Zoey started but I cut her off.
"We've been around Chris long enough to know how he thinks."
"So we just have to collect eggs?" Al asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well, mostly. You see, I brought back two former season one contestants and tossed them in the fun zone as well. They're probably wondering around scared pit of their minds. Hahahahaha." That laugh is never a good sign.
We all just looked at him like he was crazy, which isn't too far off.
"Hey don't give me that look. I atleast told them why they were here. If anyone finds them and brings them to the baskets, they're team gets five extra points added to their scores for each one they bring back. So if they bring both back, they get ten who points. First team to have 15 or more points are the winners." And as an added bonus, whoever racks up the most points for their team wins a special reward. So, egg-cited, huh?" Only frowns, yawns, and Scott's snoring filled the air. Chris then pulled out a megaphone.
"SCOTT!" He shouted. Farmer boy screamed himself awake amd fell over. I walked over to him and helped him up.
"Thanks man."
"No problem bud."
"So Chris brought back two veterans huh? Hopefully I can find them."
"The red basket is for the villains, and the gold one is for Duncan and the rest of the do gooders." I just rolled my eyes knowing he was trying to get under my skin. "I'd wish you luck, but it's bad for ratings. So I hope some of you get hurt. Now GO!" We all ran off into the forest. Since our team only consist of four, we gotta work hard. Mike and Zoey went together while me and Lindsay teamed up.
"Do you know where any eggs would be?" The labeled "Dumb Princess" asked me. Although she's not as dumb as before. Maybe my smartness is rubbing off on her.
"I don't know. Maybe in a bush or tree." I looked ahead and found that we wondered towards a swamp.
"I don't think there's gonna be any eggs around heEEEEEEEERE!" I was suddenly yanked into the swamp by a tentacle. It all became a blur until i was tossed out, then hit a tree, then fell to the ground. Then I felt something fall onto my back.
"Duncan, you found an egg!" Lindsay called out running towards me.
"Sweet. And, oww." That fall really hurt.
"Are you ok?"
"Ya, I'm good." I said getting up and holding the egg. "Let's go!"
I can see Mike and Zoey at the basket, and Mike was covered in goo for reasons I'd rather not know. Me and Lindsay got there as I put the egg in the basket.
"And it's one all." Chris said
Mike, Zoey, and Lindsay cheered.
"Ya, one for the good guys." Did I say that out loud. "I mean uhh, score one for the Hamsters. Ok why couldn't we have been called the Horses or the Hawks?!" Hamsters, seriously though.
"Huh, guess those could have worked. Oh well." Of course he wouldn't care.
"Can you two keep an eye on the basket? Otherwise..." Zoey was saying pointing to Alejandro was just smirking at us.
"Good point." I told them as they walked off and I walked to Alejandro with Lindsay behind me.
"Figures the two strongest total drama finalists are the ones guarding the eggs. Uh no offense Lindsay."
"Non taking."
"Yes, we are like two mother hens Duncan." I groan at his response as Lindsay giggled.
"I'm going off to look for more eggs. Make sure not to let the villains steal our eggs Lindsay." I told the blond girl turning back to her.
"You can count on me." Eh, what the heck, I trust her.
I've been searching for like ten minutes and so far no luck.
"Man, where are these eggs." I said out loud to know one in particular. I soon came across a tree, looking up I saw a three eyed blue bird. The same bird from before. Maybe this time if I leave right after bringing the egg, Chris won't show the footage.
I went up there, soothed the bird into letting me borrow her egg, drop a tear, and ran back to the basket and placed the egg in.
"It's 4-3 villains." So the villains are still ahead.
"Alright, I'll be looking for more eggs." I said trying to get out of there fast, but Chris had other plans.
"By the way, I just loved the way Duncan got his egg so much that I just have to replay it." He then showed the footage of me with the bird. The bastard.
"Awww, that was so cute." Lindsay said unaware of my misery.
"Ugh, I'm out of here." I started walking away ignoring Chris.
"I'm bringing you back for another season. Sweethearts vs Bigger Sweethearts. Hahahaha!" Wonder if I can throw a rock through the screen to hit his smug little face.
It's been a good 15 minutes since I left the basket again. And I haven't seen any eggs. I was chased by a giant mutant turtle, but it didn't have any eggs.
"Man I gotta step up my game. Our team is down to just me, Lindsay, Mike, and Zoey. Lindsay and Zoey are my friends so I don't want them leaving. And if I vote of Mal before telling Zoey, she might go all commando and will be after my head. We can't lose this challenge."
I started turning over every rock, scaling every tree, going through every bush, I'm starting to sound like Dora the Explorer. I still can't find any eggs.
"Man, why is it so hard to find an egg!" I yelled getting frustrated.
"Duncan? Is that you dude?" I turned around and saw two people standing there looking at me. I couldn't believe it. My jaw was dropped, I rubbed my eyes and pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Surely enough, I was awake. This day just got a bit better. I've still got a chance.
Running as fast as I can to the basket, I was numb to any exhaustion I was feeling. Running up ahead I see Courtney and Scott carrying a nest full of LOTS of eggs. If they pour that inti their basket, they win. The baskets are in view and I can see all of the others there. I must have good hearing because I was able to hear Zoey.
"Aww man, we're done." That's nit exactly true though.
"We haven't lost yet Red." I yelled out to her running as fast as I can to catch up to Courtney and Scott.

With Geoff and DJ running right behind me.
Flashback
"Geoff, DJ?"I still couldn't believe it. They were there. The pink shirt and cowboy hat wearing party guy Geoff. And the big green shirt wearing Jamaican gentle giant DJ. In the flesh. I remember that after World Tour, I hadn't seen them since. Guess it's because I've been in and out of juvie.
"Duncan! Great to see you man." DJ greeted me giving me a pat on the back.
"Dude! Long time no party." Geoff said also giving me a pat on the back.
I was just staring at them, not sure on what to say. So I didn't say anything. I quickly pulled them into a hug. "I missed you assholes so much." A small tear fell out of my eye as I was hugging my two long time friends. I think they were surprised at first, I'd be surprised too. Eventually though they hugged back.
"What happens in the fun zone stays in the fun zone. Got it?!" I told them ending the hug before anyone sees.
They laughed, already knowing my thoughts.
"Sure man."
"Whatever you say dude."
"Good. We'll catch up later. Right now we've got a challenge to win.
End of flashback
"Look! It's DJ and Geoff!" I heard Lindsay call out.
"What!" Courtney said looking back and seeing me with my two buds catching up to them.
"Oh! It's gonna be a close one. Both teams have five points. Courtney and Scott are in thr lead, but carrying a nest of ten eggs is slowing them down. Duncan could still catch up and have ten points added with DJ and Geoff. Whoever makes it first are the winners!" Now that I needed to know.
"Come on dudes, almost there." Geoff said as we were catching up to Courtney and Scott.
"Come on Scott, faster!"
"Yes mam."
Me and my friends were running fast, fast enough to catch and pass up Courtney and Scott and make it to the baskets a second before them.
"AND THE HEROES WIN!"
"YAA!" We all cheered.
"And Duncan provided the most points for his team and giving them the win, so he gets the reward in the next challenge." Now that's awesome.
"You did it Duncan! You won the challenge for us." Lindsay said excitedly.
"Way to go Duncan." Zoey congratulated.
"You deserve that reward." Mike told me giving a thumbs up. Wait a second. He has dark circles around his eyes. It Mal. Looks like he's taken control again. I'll have to watch my back around him.
"WOO! WAY TO GO DUDE!" Looks like Geoff is already in the party mood.
"Good job man. And thanks for finding us. Now lets get out of here, I was seriously starting to freak out. Did you know there were fire breathing flying goats?!" DJ said starting to look a bit freaked out at the thought.
"Before we leave, does anyone have any belongings they wanna go get?"
"Yes, I do." Heather said before running off somewhere.
"The villains wait here for Heather, DJ, Geoff, and the Heroes can head on back to camp. Chef brought the canoes from season one so you guys can row back on your own." Chris said as the gates opened. DJ didn't need to be told twice as he bolted out of here.
"You coming bro?" Geoff asked as the rest of my team were heading out.
"You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."
"Alright bro." Geoff said heading out as I walked towards Gwen.
"Hey Pasty, how was your egg hunt?"
"Oh, umm, alright I guess." She seemed a bit distracted.
"You alright? You seemed kinda off."
"I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
"I said I'm fine." She sounded pretty stern. So I left it there.
"Ok, just making sure." I told her before heading back out to find the others.
When I got back to camp, I found DJ and Geoff hanging out in the lounge of the spa hotel. I walked in and joined them.
"There you are D. This spa hotel is epic." DJ said eating a burger.
"This place could hold a rockin' party." Geoff shouted taking a sip of soda. I grabbed a can and starting drinking myself.
"Ya man, feels good to be back here."
"Now man, we've got some major catching up to do. How are you and Gwen."
"Well I honestly don't know man." I haven't seen her in between seasons but we still talked through video and stuff. But ever since the season started, she hasn't really been paying much attention to me."
I told them how easily get upset with me, shot me with tue leech gun, ignore me, and avoid me when Courtney's around.
"Woah, that's kinda rough dude."
"I'm sure it'll be fine. But it's not all bad. I did make friends with Lindsay, Zoey, Scott, even Dawn from last season who cameoed last episode."
"Duncan making extra friends? You sure you're alright." DJ joked to me.
"Hey enough about me, what's up with you guys?" DJ started talking about him working at a five star restaurant and a pet center. And no surprise there. Then Geoff was talking about what you'd expect from him. Bridgette, parties, surfing, parties, and surprise surprise, parties. It's good to know these two never changed.
We were all now at the elimination ceremony. Not much really changed from the first time. Alejandro got the most votes, he uses the idol, sending Heather home, and got pushed off the giant toilet into the lake.
"Now that that's done. I have more news." More? Wonder what it is.
"Because I'm host and can do whatever I want,
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
I've decided that DJ will be the new cook for the spa hotel,
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
And Geoff will be joining the game!" Woah! Now that I didn't see coming.
"What?! Why is he joining?!" Courtney does not seem happy.
"I felt like adding a little surprise to the show, and Geoff is pretty popular with the fans. So it would be good for ratings. And as for DJ being the cook of the hotel, the original one quit, and Chef refused to cook for both teams, so this was the next choice.
"Do I get to sleep in the hotel and not participate in the challenges?"
"Sure."
"Alright, I accept then."
"Sweet, and what about you Geoff?"
"I say, Geoff is BACK IN THE GAME WOO!" My party animal friend shouted and gave the closest people a group hug, which was me and Cameron.
"Too tight! Can't breathe." I heard the bubble boy wheeze.
"Whoops, sorry little dude." Geoff said letting us go.
"Alrighty then. Geoff win join the heroes team, and I need one of you to go to exile."
"I'll go." Mal said as he boarded the boat whistling that same tune he likes to whistle.
"That tune, it's the same one he always whistled in juvie. He's really back. And I'm gonne take him down a peg."
Heading back to the hotel Geoff wanted to party all night, but I convinced him to save it for tomorrow since we're gonna need the energy. We said our goodnights to Zoey and Lindsay before heading to our room.
"Dude, this is so awesome! Debuting in the all star season is radical dude!" As energetic as always. Some things never change.
"It is kinda an honor huh?"
"You've said it dude."
"I'm just glad I don't have to compete. If being in that forest was a challenge, I'm scared to find out what else y'all will have to do."
"Hey, if you can survive an Egyptian curse, I can survive being in a relationship with Courtney, and Geoff can survive hosting the aftermath with Blaineley, I'm sure we can survive this season." I told them adding light jokes. Hey Courtney's my way or the highway attitude can be deadly if you're not careful.
"Right on dudes. Alright, time to catch some Z's."
"Ya, gotta get up early to start making breakfast. Night guys."
"Night." Me and Geoff said as we all closed our eyes.
"Geoff, DJ?" I said still having my eyes closed.
"Ya dude/man?"
"If you tell anyone I said this I'll ring your necks, but I really missed you guys." I didn't have to look to know they were smiling ear to ear.
"Us too dude."
"Us too."
Obviously I had to have Duncan reunite with his bros, and what better way than to have DJ has the hotel cook and Geoff as a debuting contestant. Hope you guys enjoy.
