Courtney walked to her cabin and saw Bridgette head to the shower, she waved at her and approaches then walks up the stairs and goes into her cabin. She put her stuff in her bag and pulled out her ipod, laid down on her bed, and began scrolling through her music. She stopped at strawberry fields, and lets it play, as she begins to fall asleep.

"Courtney , Courtney , wake up, are you coming?" Bridgette's voice intrudes on her sleep, and she jolts up and hits her head on the top bunk.

"owwww, shit, what bridge?"

Bridgette giggles as she says "are you coming to breakfast." Courtney rubs her head

"oh um yeah, sorry about that, you just startled me."

"are you okay" Bridgette asks as Courtney gets up.

"yeah, just kinda sleepy," Courtney smoothes her hair in front of the cracked mirror.

"why are you so sleepy court?" Bridgette asked with a smile

"nothing, I just didn't get a lot of sleep last night cause of all the sugar I ate, that's all"

"you sure, cause I can't even remember you coming back in here after you puked,"

"wow and I'm supposed to be the paranoid one, so did Geoff escape the dancing banana this morning" Courtney said as she quickly changed the subject.

"what are you talking about"

Courtney rolled her eyes." don't worry about it bridge.'

"okay fine…but I know something happened after you went outside,"

"I puked?"

Bridgette rolled her eyes " yea no shit."

"well Duncan came out side and commented as usual and we argued for a bit and…"

"yes?"

"and…wekissedabit……." Courtney mumbled.

"excuse me?"

"Duncan and I kissed…"

"WHAT!"

"I KISSED HIM"

"hahahahahahaha I knew something was up."

"psh"

"soooo did he kiss you back?"

"well duh"

"what was it like?"

"it was really um nice?"

" well is he a good kisser?"

"Bridgette!"

"what I'm just asking."

"um well yea I guess," Bridgette rolls her eyes "okay he's pretty good."

"well are you glad you did it?"

"ya know what, I thought I'd never say this…but yea I am. It was really nice," she said with a smile. "oh crap, bridge we're gonna be late for breakfast,"

"are you sure court, we can skip it if you wanna keep talking"

"no, I rather not make more of a scene than I have to, anyway I have to give Duncan something."

"what,"

"don't worry about it, come on bridge lets go!"

Courtney pulled Bridgette's arm and the two ran down to the mess hall. They found everyone sitting down already. Bridgette took a seat next to Geoff, and Courtney found a seat next to Duncan.

"hey princess."

"I'm not even gonna say it, oh I think this is yours." She gives him the little metal hoop." it was caught in my hair," she said awkwardly.

"ah I was looking for that, thanks princess," he said with a devious smile, she rolls her eyes as they begin to eat the gruel chef served them for breakfast. Duncan picked up the hoop, and slips it back in his ear. Everyone at the table gave him a weird look. "what, it fell out, jeez you people act like it's a bomb or something" he said as he jabs Courtney in the ribs. She gives him a sour look.

"yes!" heather said with an evil smile.

"what, what heather," Lindsey asked.

"nothing, come on Lindsey, we have work to do," heather pulled Lindsey's arm and the two ran out of the mess hall. The two gathered outside their cabin and began to talk.

"heather, what's going on."

"Lindsey, we have to break them apart,"

"who"

"Courtney and Duncan,"

"oh heather don't be silly, they hate each other"

" god Lindsey you're sooo stupid"

"nu uh, if they liked each other, then they wouldn't argue all the time, I mean I wouldn't"

"whatever Lindsey, don't worry about it, I take care of this myself, just go with the rest of the team

"okay!" Lindsey ran off to go find the rest of the gophers. Heather just stood there scheming.

"okay, what can I do, I have to find a pawn from the other team ,someone to carry out my plan." Heather watched everyone outside of the mess hall, and she watched the bass carefully. She looked at Bridgette, "no, she's friends with Courtney, not Geoff or DJ… then she saw Harold, yelling at Duncan for putting his underwear in his breakfast. "perfect, I think I think I just found my pawn."

"all campers report to the big tree for your next challenge, now maggots NOW!!!!" chef's voice yelled from the PA system.

"well time to go, time flies when you're having fun, now they just have to lose," heather said with and evil smile, and walked toward the tree.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the bass's defeat at the tree, Courtney walked into the woods, and sat down next to a tree that overlooked the lake. She put in her ipod and began scrolling through the songs. Duncan saw her and walked over and sat next to her.

"hey thanks for finding my hoop," he said with a smile as he flicked his ear.

" no problem, as long as you don't mind the fact it was matted in my hair all night," she said sarcastically.

"no not a bit, I like your hair." He picked up a chunk of wood from the ground and began shaving off pieces with his knife.

"what are you making?"

"it's a surprise,' she rolled her eyes again.

"ya know one day, your eyes are gonna get stuck like that princess."

*sigh* "Duncan you're hopeless." She smiled and lid her head on his shoulder , and fell asleep.

"ah Harold, just the person I was looking for" heather said with a smile.

"heather? What do you want"

"oh nothing, I just wanted to offer my services,"

"in what?"

"payback and revenge, I understand you and Duncan aren't exactly seeing eye to eye"

"I hate that guy"

" so would you like my help or not"

" what's in it for you"

"nothing, no commitment, just you taking my advice," Harold thought about it for a bit.

"deal" heather went up to Harold, and explained her plan. "but why would I get Courtney voted off, I hate Duncan."

" you want revenge right?, the sweetest thing about revenge is watching the victim suffer, you can't do that is Duncan is floating away on a boat. By voting off his little girlfriend, you get to watch is little bad boy heart break as she floats away"

"I doubt he even has a heart.'

"trust me, this will crush him, and you'll get all the credit,"

"so all I'll have to do is break open the ballot box after everyone votes, and switch the votes so it votes Courtney off, right?"

"exactly"

"heather, why are you helping me get back at Duncan?"

"it's simple, if those two become an item, then who knows what they could do, I'm just playing the game"

"okay I get it, that's cool"

"oh one more thing. Since you're getting the credit for my little scheme, that means if anyone finds out about this or it fails, you'll get the blame, got that. There is no way I'm gonna get punished because you're and idiot, you don't say a word about our little meeting here or else you'll regret it till the day you die" she said sternly.

"right, got it, thanks heather" Harold walked away.

"perfect, now that my pawn is carrying out my plan, I just need to sit back and watch it in action." Heather said with an evil smile and began to laugh."hahahahaha oh its sooo easy to manipulate these losers hahahahaha."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Courtney woke up to find herself still under the tree, and a bunch of wood chips everywhere. She sat up and found Duncan asleep against the tree, sitting right beside her.

"Ugh, Duncan, wake up, we slept right through free time" Duncan woke up.

"ah morning sunshine"

"God, must you say that every time I wake up" she smiled at him and looked into his blue eyes.

"Now that you mention it—" he was cut off by the PA system.

"all killer Bass please begin to record your votes for who leaves tonight, that is all" Chris's annoying voice echoed over the campground.

"well lets go princess." They get up, and he kisses her again, and they head for the confession cam.

Harold watches quietly in the bushes as he watches the last of the bass campers cast their votes. Harold sneaks past, and grabs the ballot box and ran into the confession can.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" I only have five marshmallows on this plate, and they represent the campers, who will continue to be campers, here." Chris said seriously "you've all cast your votes in the confession can. If I don't call your name, you must immediately go down to the dock of shame, catch the boat of losers and go home, and you can't come back, ever….Duncan, DJ, Bridgette, Geoff. Campers, this is the final marshmallow of the night………………………………………………………Harold.

"what! You guys voted for Harold, over me!" Courtney yelled

"yes yes, always a shame,"

" this is impossible, I demand a recount!"

"Seriously, I know for a fact there were three of us who didn't vote her off" Duncan protested.

"I do not Concede! I DO NOT CONCEED!!!!" Courtney yelled as Chef and Chris grabbed her and dragged her down to the dock.

"Aw man this sucks!"

"I was your only hope, I WAS A CONSOLER IN TRAINING!!!!!!, let go off me!" she yelled as they threw her into the boat. "you'll be hearing from my attorney!"

"Courtney, wait," Duncan ran to the boat," I made this for you!" he threw a little wooden skull.

"Duncan!" Courtney yelled as she caught the skull, "okay this is really weird and creepy but, I love it! I'll never forget you!" she yelled and waved back to Duncan as the boat pulled away from the dock, Duncan sadly waved back as they were separated by the dark water.

Harold stood by the campfire, with his marshmallow, on a stick and watched the soft sugary goodness bubble and burn from the heat of the campfire. "Yessssssssssss!"
