Hey, guys! Zatchie here with another chapter to DIHWB! I think I've solved my repeated word troubles. Anyway, feel free to suggest ideas for dreams! I'm always open to ides!
This Chapter is for my buddy Lexi. I bet you a million dollars she would have wanted Duncan's dream to be dedicated for her. Or maybe Noah's. Or Izzy's. But she'll live. Love ya, Lexi!
I'd also like to say thanks to Techgirl10 for giving me the idea for Courtney's dream!
Now, time for the story!
…
Cody realized that he was walking on the beach, holding someone's hand. When he turned to see who it was, he almost had a heart attack.
"Noah?! What the heck is going on here?" Cody said
"What's wrong, Izzy? You say something?" Noah said.
"Noah, what are you talking about-" Cody started. He looked at his clothes, only to find out that he was dressed exactly like Izzy, red hair and all.
Holy dust buckets! What's going on here?! Cody thought. He looked over at Noah, who was dressed like Owen, but not as fat.
"Izzy, calm down!" Noah said.
"I'm not Izzy! What is going on here?" Cody shouted. He pried his hand loose from Noah's grip and ran to the cabins. When he got to the Gopher cabin, he went to his bunk and opened his suitcase. All he saw was green clothing and several objects he couldn't name. Maybe they're explosives! Cody started to panic. He ran out of the cabin and went to the Mess Hall. He burst through the doors and looked for someone who could help. He only saw two people, Heather and Gwen. He ran towards Gwen and tapped her on the shoulder. When she turned around, Cody almost died from another heart attack.
"Harold?!" he yelled.
"I'm not Harold! Gosh!" Harold said, pushing Cody's arm off his shoulder.
"Oh, jeeze. What is going on?" Cody said. He ran out of the Mess Hall and ran to the woods.
"Bridgett! Help!" Cody shouted.
"Uh, I'm not Bridgett. I'm Gwen." Bridgett, err, Gwen said.
"Finally, someone who isn't messed up! Gwen, you need to help." Cody pleaded.
"You know, things are pretty freaky. One minute I was drawing a picture of a squirrel, the next thing I know I'm dressed up like Bridgett." Gwen started to laugh. "And you're Izzy? Ha!"
"Hey, not funny!" Cody said. He pushed away some of his red hair. "I don't see how girls can live with long hair."
"That's why I keep mine short," Gwen said. "But that's beyond the point. We need to figure out what is exactly happening. You try to get clues, and I'll get a list of who's who. Now let's go." With that, Gwen and Cody parted ways with Cody heading towards the Mess Hall and Gwen heading to the Beach.
About twenty minutes later, the two met up in the woods again.
"So, Gwen, did you find out anything?" Cody asked.
"Yeah," She said, waving a note book in her hand. "It turns out that, well, of course I'm dressed up Bridgett, Bridgett is Duncan, Duncan is Chris, Chris is Courtney, Courtney is you, you're Izzy, Izzy is Beth, Beth is Katie, Katie is Geoff, Geoff is Heather, Heather is Chef, Chef is DJ, DJ is Lindsay, Lindsay is Eva, Eva is Ezekiel, Ezekiel is Tyler, Tyler is Noah, Noah is Owen, Owen is Trent, Trent is Justin, Justin is LeShawna, LeShawna is Sadie, Sadie is Harold, and Harold is dressed up like me. It was hard to figure it all out, but I did it. What did you find out?" Gwen asked.
"I didn't find out much. Well, in Izzy's- err, my suitcase, I thought I saw explosives, but I could be wrong." Cody said. He tried to keep his hair out of his eyes, but it kept falling back in front of his face. Then, out of frustration, he pulled the hair off his head. He managed to pull a wig off his head. Gwen did the same, so both of them had normal heads of hair.
"You know, maybe Chris did something to us," Gwen said.
Cody shook his head. "Nah. That can't be right. Chris is convinced that he is Courtney, and everyone else is like that, too."
"But, Chris could have told them to act like this! Maybe this is some weird challenge for us." Gwen said.
"You could be right. But what are the odds of that? I doubt that everyone, epically Duncan, would continue on with this for long. I also tried to pull off Chris- I mean Courtney's wig, but it was like real hair. It looked totally real." Cody said.
"Why were you trying to pull of Chris's hair?" Gwen asked.
Cody shook his head again. "Don't ask. All I know is that this isn't a challenge. This is all real."
Gwen shrugged. "Oh, well. Let's just get to the bottom of this." She put her hand out in front of her, and Cody gave her a weird look. He grabbed her hand, but she quickly pulled away.
"You're supposed to put your hand in the middle, too," Gwen said.
"Oh, right." Cody put his hand on top of Gwen's, and then Gwen said "Break!" and lifted her hand. She and Cody parted ways, and both of them weren't sure where they were going or what they were doing. The two soon walked back to where they were earlier and just stood there, laughing a little.
"Heh, we forgot to discuss the game plan…" Cody said.
"Um, I don't think there's much to say besides try to find out as many clues as possible, and then meet back her in an hour or so." Gwen said. She pulled at the collar of her blue hoodie. "Yeesh… I'm cooking in this thing…. I don't see how Bridge can survive in this kind of weather…" Gwen complained. Cody shrugged.
"You know, this skirt is pretty comfy…" Cody said. Gwen just gave him a weird look and shook her head slowly.
"Whatever. Let's just hurry up and find out what's going on."
Cody nodded and turned to walk away, but Gwen grabbed his arm and pulled him back. She turned him around so he faced her, and then she planted a quick kiss on his lips.
"Wha-what was that for?" Cody asked.
Gwen shrugged. "For luck, I guess. Anyway, let's get going. I want this all figured out before dinner. Who knows how good- or bad- of a cook Heather is?" She shuddered at the thought of eating Heather's possibly lethal cooking. "Now you can go." Gwen turned and ran to the cabins. Cody stood immobilized, pondering what had just happened.
Gwen kissed me! Yes! Take that, Trent!
Cody went to the Mess Hall, only to discover that Chef Heather had already started cooking.
Ah, pickles. Well, better find Gwen. She'd want a warning about this…Cody thought. He left the Mess Hall and started to look for Gwen. He searched in the cabins, the beach, and the giant hill the campers were forced to jump off of in the very fist challenge. No sign of Gwen. He looked for her at their meeting spot to see if she had come early. Still no Gwen.
Cody was getting concerned now. What if something bad happened to her? What if she's dead? At least I got to kiss her first! What am I saying? Stop thinking like this, Cody! You have to find Gwen! Cody thought. He kept searching for her in the woods, looking in trees, hollow logs, and behind rocks. No matter what, Cody, don't give up hope.
After a few minutes, Cody sat on a rock and took a brief break from the searching.
"Come on, girl, you gotta move her!" Cody heard someone say. He looked over his shoulder and saw Geoff, Izzy, and DJ carrying Gwen. She appeared unconscious.
"What are you doing with Gwen?" Cody yelled.
Izzy turned around. "Beth is listening to Heather and Lindsay. Beth needs to move Bridgett's body!"
Geoff nodded. "That's right. I have Beth and Lindsay over here helping me move Bridgett's, um, unconscious body. Lindsay, do I have to tell you how to do everything?!" Geoff yelled.
DJ giggled. "Hehe, sorry Heather. It's just that Bridgett is sooooo heavy!"
Izzy looked over at Cody. "Beth wants to know why Izzy is here. Izzy, why are you here?" Izzy asked. "Do you wanna play Canasta with me?"
Cody shook his head. "No! Now put Gwen- er, Bridgett down now! Leave her alone!"
Geoff sighed. "We'd better not mess with psycho girl here. C'mon, girls. Let's go make Gwen's life miserable." And with that, Geoff, DJ, and Izzy dropped Gwen on the ground and walked away. Cody ran to Gwen's side and knelt down beside her.
"Gwen… please, wake up…" Cody sobbed. He had started crying. Gwen didn't respond. "Please, Gwen… wake up for your buddy Cody…" Still no response. Cody cried even harder. He noticed she had a huge gash on her head, with a steady stream of blood flowing from it. Cody had to think fast if he wanted to save her. He tore a strip of fabric from his skirt and tied it around Gwen's head. He picked her up and ran her to the infirmary. He put her on a stretcher and tried to get as much medical equipment he could hold. Somehow he'd grabbed some cotton balls, a container of q-tips, and some Tylenol. Really, that was pretty much everything that wasn't either moldy or broken is some way. He started by swabbing up some blood with the cotton balls and q-tips, and he gave her some Tylenol to ease the pain when she woke up. Cody got some water and tore some more fabric off of his skirt. He cleaned the wound with the cotton balls and re-wrapped her head with the fabric. All he could do now was wait. He sat in a chair and eventually dozed off. He woke up a few hours later. Gwen was still unconscious. Cody got up and re-bandaged her wound. The bleeding had slowed, but it still didn't stop. Cody stared at Gwen. She looked so peaceful, but yet she looked lifeless. Cody neared his head to her mouth to hear if she was still breathing. He didn't hear anything, so he checked her pulse. He pulse seemed normal, and her chest was rising and falling, but her jagged breaths made it look as if it hurt her to breathe. Did Geoff, DJ, and Izzy break a few ribs? Cody looked at Gwen's face once again, this time tears came to his eyes. He stared at her through blurry eyes and neared her face. He kissed her gently. Cody couldn't do anything else to help her, so why not? There was still a possibility that she liked him, even if she was dying.
Cody sat down again, still looking at the girl he loved. The fact that even though he'd done everything he could to help her still killed him on the inside. Why didn't he get anyone else? Cody didn't know why. Maybe he was just too scared to leave Gwen alone for even a few minutes. He didn't know if she would survive the few minutes of solitude or not. All Cody wanted to know was if his beloved Gwen would survive this misfortune. He didn't care about anything else now. He didn't care about finding out why everyone was acting strange. He didn't care about hurting Geoff, DJ, and Izzy for what they had done. He didn't even care about winning Total Drama Island. All he cared about was Gwen. Cody started to bawl now. He cried harder than he'd ever cried before. Cody screamed "HELP!" as loud as he could between sobs as many times as he could. Eventually he couldn't cry or yell anymore. No one had come. Cody was all alone with Gwen now. He just picked Gwen up and stared at her with a blank expression on his face.
"Why?" He whispered. "Why didn't anyone else come to save you?" Cody put Gwen back on the stretcher.
Maybe it was something he said. Maybe it was a miracle. But somehow Gwen had woken up. She looked at Cody, who was still standing by Gwen's stretcher.
"Cody? Wha-what happened?" She asked.
Cody was overjoyed. He picked Gwen up and embraced her in a huge bear hug. "Gwen! You're alive!" Gwen smiled, but her smile quickly turned into a grimace when she realized she had the worst headache. She up her hands on her head and cried "Ow…." many times. Cody quickly put her down and got her some Tylenol.
"There. That should do the trick." Cody smiled. Gwen quickly gulped it down. "It won't work for a few more minutes. Just lie down and try to sleep."
Gwen did as she was told, but before she closed her eyes, she looked over at Cody. "What happened?" She asked.
Cody smiled. "I'll tell you later. You just sleep."
"Hey, Cody, wake up." Gwen gently shook Cody.
"What? What happened?" Cody asked, sitting up.
Owen walked over to Cody's bunk. "You're going to be late for breakfast! And you can't miss breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day!" Owen said.
"Right…" Cody said. He got out of bed and walked over to the Mess Hall with Gwen and Owen.
…
Yeah, I know. A little too sad, but at least it had a happy ending! R&R, guys. Feel free to pitch a few ideas. You never know, your idea might become a dream (or nightmare)!
UPDATE: sorry if this dream was confusing. I tried to fix it up a little. So I guess the plot is that everyone had switched places with someone and then the campers are convinced that they are whoever they swithced with (except for Cody and Gwen.). For example, Geoff, DJ, and Izzy would act and dress like Heather, DJ, and Beth. Again, I'm sorry for the confusion.
