Getting True Love Back Chapter 3
Gwen, walked up to Courtney to explain what happen between her and Trent. "Courtney, I'm so sorry. Let me explain everything that happened. I-" "I know what happened, Gwen. I saw everything." Courtney said looking at Gwen with narrow eyes. "How?" Gwen looked at Courtney with complete shock. "I have a PDA with me. I see the show on my PDA. I don't want to go back to being that manipulative and vile person I became in the past. I have change, and plan to stay changed." Courtney turned her attention to her PDA. "So then why did you rush to Duncan so you guys could win the first challenge? Weren't you vile to him there?" Courtney moved her onyx eyes to Gwen again. "You want me to tell you the truth? Okay, I did it because, since we'll be here for a long time, I don't want to get the sucky bunk while I'm here. I also did it because I like to see Duncan begging for mercy, while I pull on his Mohawk. That's the truth." Gwen looked at the Courtney she didn't recognize. It was as if she had somehow switch from personality. "Is there anything else you'd like to talk about while I'm still here?" Courtney said while texting on her PDA. "No, that's all. Oh, actually. Why aren't you mad at me or Trent, like you were with Duncan?" She looked up to Gwen and notice that she was being sincere. Courtney looked at Gwen, with tears in her eyes. "I guess that since I had an actual relationship with Trent, I actually shared happiness and goals with him, I saw true happiness in both of our eyes once, that I'd rather see his happiness still on his face than see him suffering. You make him happy. I love him too much to force him to stay by my side. With Duncan, I was just infatuated with the fact that he was the bad boy every girl wanted, I grew jealous over not having what Trent and I had. I hope you and Trent are happy. That's all I wish in life right now. His happiness." Gwen saw that Courtney was crying. She began to tear up a little. "If it means anything, Duncan has always loved you." "Thanks Gwen. I'll keep that in mind."
Campers, today's challenge will be to make ME, Kris McLean, a wonderful looking paradise. Each group will have to use the buddy system to do different activities. Whoever wins the challenge will be saved from elimination. Okay, let's start my new vacation paradise.
As always, Heather got the bright idea of calling herself the lead captain. "I'm the one who will tell all of you on which location you will be working! Got it!" "How about we let Geoff be lead?" Everyone turned around to look at the person who suggested the idea. It was Courtney. She then continued to explain her suggestion. "Well, Geoff is known for creating theme parties, and he's good at it. Why not let him lead this challenge? We could win it with Geoff as leader." Duncan stood up from the floor and clapped. Everyone followed, even Leshawna and Harlold. "Okay, you guys are making fun of me now." When she noticed Heather give the paper to Geoff, she knew they were now serious. "I'm only doing this because I don't want to lose the first challenge as a team. I don't think we can afford anyone getting eliminated." Heather said, making a pissed off face at Courtney. "Alright, as leader I am putting DJ, Bridgette and I in the on food and drinks preparation. Harold and Leshawna, you guys can build a small Hawaiian type of shack. Heather, you and Justin can work on paints, since Justin can't afford to hurt his face anymore."
"Yeah, my agent told me that if I injured my face on this challenge, I would be fired from the agency and would have to look at a new job somewhere else." Justin told the confessional.
"Gwen and Trent. You guys will have to look for flowers and palm tree leaves in the storage to make the shack look all awesome. Courtney and Duncan! You guys will be the once to design and arrange everything on the shack." Geoff saw the smile Courtney sent him.
"I couldn't be more than happy after getting a job that Geoff knew very well I could do. I was the one who helped organize the most recent campaign for our local congressman. I was so ready." Courtney said to the confessional camera.
"Alrighty, let's get this paradise challenge on!" Geoff spoke to the group, who gave a huge cheer. Gwen and Trent started walking to the storage. They noticed the other group was still deciding who will be leader of them. Gwen smiled at Trent, who grabbed her hand and entwined their fingers. She couldn't help but giggle a little. She had changed her look a little. Now she wore more of a bluish color in her hair and clothes. It suited her more nicely. Her hair was longer too. Her hair was up to her shoulders. She wore it in a cute messy ponytail. Trent was starting to like the blue wearing Gwen a little more than he already did to the teal one. He began to grab the palm leaves as Gwen grabbed some pretty tropical looking flowers. They walked back to their group and handed them the flowers and leaves. Leshawna and Harold finished of the shack in good time. Just as Courtney and Duncan began to help Justin and Heather paint the sign of the shack and other small decorations. Once done. Duncan helped Courtney up and the whole group began putting the palm leaves and flowers around the shack. In the end, Harold, Trent and Duncan put up the sign, while the girls and Justin decorated the inside of it with color coordinated cups and plates. Along with some tiki type of sculptures Duncan carved with his pocket knife. Geoff, Bridgette and DJ entered with the food and the drinks. They organized the plates of the tropical fruit, food and drinks around the shack. They placed the shack nicely on the beach near the lake. The whole team turned to see how the other team had done their shack. It looked messy and as if it came from the creation of six year old. Not very nice looking.
Well campers, let's see how you did. Wow! What is THAT!
"It's our paradise for you!" Said Zoey with an embarrassed enthusiasm. She saw that Kris gave a disgusted look and turned around sadden to her team. Mike placed a hand on her shoulder to cheer her up.
Now this is a paradise shack! The Rebel Rabbits win!
Suddenly as he announced that, Mike had one of his personality changes and destroyed the hard worked on shack the Rabbits had created. Once he finished, his personality went back. All of the season 1 members growled at Mike, who terrified at Duncan and Courtney, moved back slowly.
"I didn't mean to do it. It just happened. I swear." Mike tells the confessional.
Well, this is some unfortunate news to me and the Rabbits. The rules do say it has to be a good looking and stable paradise. So that means, the Scattering Squirrels are the winners.
"WHAT! THAT'S NOT FAIR! THAT FREAK CAME TO DESTROY OUR SHACK! THEY SHOULD BE PUNISHED!" yelled a mad Heather. The rest of the team groaned and complained.
Sorry, but there are no rules against destroying the other teams shack.
"I'll destroy their-" grumbled Duncan.
No-can-do, Duncan. I need the shack. So you can't destroy it. Okay! Scattering Squirrels, you can go back to your bunks. Meanwhile, Rebel Rabbits, you can choose on which buddy group to eliminate.
As the Rabbits saw Kris leave, they all got in a circle together. "We should eliminate Leshawna and Harold, since they are the weakest links in our team." suggested Heather. "Why you little-" Leshawna launched herself at Heather, but was stopped by Courtney and Bridgette. "I actually want to go home. I don't want to be here anymore." Everyone turned to look at DJ. "Why, man?" said Geoff. "I just can't help but remember the last time I was here. I failed all of you. Plus, everyone has a buddy except for me. It's only fair." DJ sounded really sincere. "Are you sure, dude? You could be of great use later on." Duncan patted his friends back. "I'm sure." Everyone looked at DJ and gave him a hug. "This was actually a very useful elimination process." Trent announced. Everyone gave an agreeing gesture.
The elimination passed as expected. DJ was sent home and he went out happy. Gwen and Trent returned to their bunk. "I'm gonna miss DJ!" said Gwen in a sad tone. "Yeah, me too." Trent gave her a soft kiss on the lips. "How about we go out to the lake and I'll play you a song with my guitar, like old times." He smiled at her, and saw her smile back in return. "Alright, but you have to sing our song." Once at the beach of the lake, Trent sang their song. When he finished, he told Gwen to get closer to him and wrapped his hands around her body to keep her warm. "I missed you, Gwen." "I missed you too, Trent."
In Duncan and Courtney's bunks, Duncan couldn't help but notice how beautiful Courtney looked. Her now long hair, that reached a little above her now fully grown breast.
While Courtney was showering, Jo was doing push-ups on the floor, and Brick was color coordinating his socks(which were all the same color), Duncan sneaked through Courtney's undergarments. He saw she had gone from a 34C to a 36D. It made him shiver a little from the thought of how they would look. "Oh, yeah!" Jo and Brick looked at Duncan, who gave them a furious look, "You didn't see anything, got it!" Jo and Brick got back to their activities.
Courtney walked out with her cute leopard shorts and white tank top pajama. Duncan noticed every inch of her, and Courtney notice his eyes on her. She hit him with her pillow. "OUCH! Why did you do that!" "For staring inappropriately." Courtney walked to her suitcase, noticing her undergarments were all disorganized. Duncan had gone out to smoke. "DUUUNNNCAN!" All the birds on the trees scattered throughout the whole camp. The campers in their bunks hid from Courtney. Trent and Gwen jumped at the sudden yell, thinking to each other, then saying in unison, "He's dead." Courtney grabbed Duncan by his Mohawk and dragged him to the bunk. "Why did you go through my undergarments?" she said with her eyes full of fire. "Which one of you told!" Duncan said with a fist in his hands. Jo and Brick both hid under their blankets. "Neither! Now I definitely know it was you!" Courtney said making a fist with her right hand. "Let me explain. I was curious about, um, well-"
"I knew I was gonna get punched whether I made a good excuse or told her the truth. So I just took the punch." Duncan to the confessional.
"Oh just punch me already." He flinched at the sight of Courtney's hand near his face. Courtney relaxed her hand. "Just don't do it again." She walked back to her suitcase and began to rearrange her clothes. "You're not mad?" said a suspicious Duncan. "I am, but I'm letting it go. It's not worth me getting angry at you. We're partners in this game, and since I know I haven't trusted you in the past, I plan to trust you now, and have that trust returned." Duncan, Jo and Brick looked at Courtney in shock. "You know, I've been getting that face all day long." Duncan then went up to Courtney and hugged her. "I'm happy for you, Princess." He was smelling her hair and kissing the top of her forehead, when he heard, "Duncan, don't ever do that to me again. It is so inappropriate." Duncan let go of her. "Sorry." She then cupped his cheek in her hand and said, "Apology accepted."
