Bridgette and Courtney sat on Courtney's bed. Trent sat against the bed, playing Charleene. Cody was sitting across from the girls. It had been about a week since the bikini incident, and the two eventually forgave Trent and Cody. DJ, Lindsey, and Izzy joined the other losers on the island. Izzy mostly hung with herself, Lindsey was never seen without Tyler, and DJ joined the four sometimes, when he wasn't busy with bunny, like tonight, he joined the four in Courtney's room, and was sitting on the floor next to Trent with bunny in his lap. The five teens were just passing time with dimly playing music from Courtney's ipod, accompanied by gentle strokes of sound from Charleene, and an un-lively game of Go Fish played by the three on the bed.
"Ugh, I'm sooo done," Courtney groaned and threw her cards in the air.
"Ow, be careful with those!" DJ squeaked. "You could give someone a major paper cut."
Courtney rolled her eyes; Trent looked up from his guitar and chuckled. Bridgette and Courtney began picking up the cards. Cody got up and walked to the Ipod on the dock. He began scrolling through the songs, and smiled when he found a certain one.
"Hey ladies," he grinned, "it's your favorite song!" He began to play Disturbia on the speakers and bounced up and down, mocking their infamous dance. The two girls glared at the dancing Cody.
"Okay, that's it, out." Courtney said as she pointed to the door.
"Hey hey hey! Cut the harshness, I was just joking." Cody said in his defense.
"Do you see anyone else laughing?" Bridgette asked wryly. Courtney got up and began pushing the small boy to the door.
"Trent! DJ! A little help!" Cody squealed as the two headed for the door. Both boys shrugged, not moving from the ground.
"sorry dude, ya' messed up," Trent added, not glancing up from Charleene. Bridgette got up and helped Courtney push the boy out the door.
"Seriously guys! Come on!" Cody struggled, but was eventually out the door. "I liked the nice Courtney better," he frowned as Courtney began to close the door. She stopped.
"Well I liked the less of an ass Cody," she replied with a smile.
"Awwwww you know you like it," he grinned.
"No, not really." Courtney said with a frown.
"She only has enough room for one asshole in her heart." Bridgette added.
"Psh whatever," Cody said rolling his eyes. And with that, Courtney closed the door. She and Bridgette turned around, and with their backs to the door slid down to the ground.
"That thing about my heart and the asshole sounded really gross" Courtney said to her blond friend.
"Yeeeaaaa that sounded a lot better in my head" Bridgette smiled awkwardly.
"Well this was weird; me and bunny are going to bed." DJ said, and got up. The two girls got up and walked to the bed.
"Kay DJ, you two don't stay up too late," Bridgette smiled.
"Oh don't worry, we're both beat. We'll just go right to sleep." DJ assured her seriously.
The other three looked at each other weirdly.
"Err, okay DJ, night then," Courtney said. DJ waved, and moved bunny's paw in a waving motion, then the two left. Bridgette grabbed her Pjs and went into the bathroom. She had pretty much been living with Courtney for the past week she'd been there, and most of her stuff was in there. Trent had also gotten used to falling asleep in there, and had his own spot next to the bed on the floor. The other two always offered a spot on the huge king sized bed, even if it was at the end, but he always refused being the gentleman he was. Not to mention e was friends with both Geoff and Duncan, and it would be awkward to say he was sleeping in the same bed as their girlfriends. Bridgette walked out in her Spongebob pjs, and Courtney replaced her in the bathroom. Trent kept playing his guitar; Bridgette sat down on the bed and flipped on the TV.
"You see anything good?" Courtney said as she walked out of the bathroom in Team Pink pj's.
"No, it's just a bunch of crappy old people shows." Bridgette sighed longingly to the TV.
"What if we watched a movie, I mean we get OnDemand," Trent suggested putting Charleene on the floor next to him.
"Okay," Bridgette said, and she turned on the movie channel. "Oh what about Mamma Mia!?" Bridgette suggested.
"No way, no more chick flix. I almost died of boredom when you guys had your weekend twilight marathon." Trent replied.
"Um, Oh! High school Musical 3!?!" Bridgette squealed. Courtney and Trent stared at her. "What? I like Zac Efron."
"No, I would rather die than watch that, anyways Zac Efron is weird, have you seen his mouth? It's huge." Courtney replied.
"Hey, what about Wanted?" Trent asked.
"No!" the two answered in unison. The three pondered quietly as Bridgette scrolled the movie list again.
"Gah, truthfully, I wanna sleep," Courtney added.
"Yea I'm not sure I could actually stay awake for a movie," Bridgette said.
"Whatever," Trent shrugged. He picked his guitar back up and began playing again. Courtney turned off most of the lights, leaving one for Trent. She crawled into bed and the two girls began to drift to sleep, while Trent played softly in the background.
Trent began to sing softly, careful not to bother the sleeping girls.
Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm tryin to get back
before the cool done run out I'll be givin it my best test
and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait
I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music at the moment people dance and sing with me
Were just 1 big family
And it's our godforsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved
So, i won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i'm sure
there's no need to complicate our time is short
this is our fate
I'm yours
Scooch on over closer, dear
And I will nibble your ear
I've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror
and bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
and so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I'd be sayin' is there ain't no better reason
to rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
it's what we aim to do
our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate no more,
no more it cannot wait
I'm yours
well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la one big family
it's your god forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved
open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la happy family
it's our god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved
it's our god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la peaceful melodies
it's you god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved
Trent put down the guitar and went to sleep.

Bridgette woke up sweating and breathing heavily. She had another nightmare about Geoff and the Banana.
"Damnit Geoff, if a banana starts talking to you, just walk away!" she yelled in a whisper. She stopped still gasping for air. She stopped when she heard a strange clunking noise coming from out the window. She got up and walked to the window. "The boat! Courtney! Trent! Get up! It's the boat!" Bridgette yelled in excitement.
"wha- Bridgette? Can't we sleep?" Courtney said groggily.
"yea!" Trent added with his face buried in his pillow.
"no! get up!" she barked with a frown. Trent and Courtney groaned and slowly got up. "hurry up!" she added.
"Bridge, it's still dark!" Courtney whined.
"shhhhh, I wanna see who got kicked off." Bridgette said with her eyes glued to the boat approaching the dock.
"well you could have done it without us," Trent said rubbing his eyes.
"well it would be weird if I was the only one watching, anyway what if it was Gwen or Duncan? I would have never heard the end of it if I let you guys sleep through that." Bridgette replied.
"why are you even awake at this hour?" Courtney asked looking at the boat now too.
"I had another nightmare," Bridgette replied.
"the one with Geoff and the banana?" Courtney asked. Bridgette nodded in reply. Courtney frowned in sympathy for her troubled friend. Trent's eyes got wide in fear and confusion.
"I'm not even gonna ask," He said in response and turned back to the window. The three watched in silence and anticipation as the boat came to a stop. Then a figure with a cowboy hat was seen in the distance. They watched Geoff get off the boat and say something to Chris.
"Bridgette! It's--Bridgette?" Courtney looked over and the blond was gone. She turned around and watched the door close by itself. Both Trent and Courtney looked back out the window, and watched Bridgette run from the hotel. Geoff dropped his bag and ran towards the surfer. Bridgette jumped onto Geoff, and the two began to kiss under the moonlight. Courtney and Trent smiled at the pair. After a few minutes, Bridgette and Geoff were still going at it.
"well they're certainly, um, frisky," Trent said breaking the silence in the room.
"she hasn't seen him in a week; I would be like that excited if it was Duncan out there." Courtney replied.
"Okay, sooo didn't need that mental picture." Trent remarked. "I'm done watching, that's like on the verge of porno."
"Ewww," Courtney said. The two walked over to the bed and sat down at the edge. "okay, sooo after that abrupt awakening from Bridgette, I don't think I can get back to sleep.
"Me neither," Trent replied. "We could always watch that movie?"
"we never decided, remember?" Courtney said. "Were you playing I'm Yours earlier? Or was I just dreaming that?"
"haha no I was, It's a good song, and easy to play on Charleene." He replied.
"Ah I love Jason Mraz," Courtney smiled.
"want me to play it again?" He asked.
"sure, if you don't mind."
"not at all," he picked up his guitar and began playing the song again. Courtney closed her eyes and let her head fall back, as she laid down on the bed, her feet still hanging off the edge. Trent kept playing for a while, letting the music flow from his finger tips. He turned his head and looked and her. He watched her breathe, and studied the calm look she had on her face. He had never seen her look as peaceful as she did now.
"why'd you stop?" she opened her eyes. He kept looking at her, then blinked out of his trance.
"oh," he looked down at his guitar, " I didn't notice." She sat up and looked at him with a confused look.
"you okay?" she asked looking at his face in the dark of the room.
"yea," he nodded his head, "I'm just tired, I guess." He looked up at her worried face. He gave her a small reassuring smile. She smiled back and gazed into his emerald eyes. They were quiet for a minute, still lost in the feeling that was building in the dark, silent room. They both were aware of what was about to happen, but they were too tired and sick of the island to care. Trent leaned in, inching closer and closer to Courtney's face. She met him the rest of the way, until the two foreheads touched. They met in a gaze. Courtney took a deep breath and their lips met in a kiss.
