AN: I apologize to all of you who've been reading this story. I really just needed a break from writing to catch up on sleep and stop feeling sick to my stomach. I really hope that you will all be able to forgive me for such a long hiatus. I really enjoy writing this story and I hoped to continue writing this after I finished the 5th Chapter of Total Drama Redux. Now that that is done, I can start writing this again. I will say, these chapters might be a little filler so that I can introduce new characters into the story and such. I hope that you all won't mind that. Lastly, I do not own any rights to Total Drama or the characters portrayed in this story.

Chapter 9: Two Twins

October 1st, 2012
12:00 P.M.

"Really Dawn!? That sounds so romantic!" said Zoey upon listening to my story. She and all of my friends including myself were sitting at our usual table. I was telling them about last night with Joe.

"It was quite romantic I must admit. I couldn't have imagined spending that time with Joe any better than that." I told her.

"Dawn, we really are all glad to see that you're doing good." said Gwen.

"Oh yes most certainly! It's so nice to see you two lovebirds together!" said Ella. For once in the past few weeks, it was nice to be surrounded by my friends. For a while, I had questioned if they actually were my friends or were just saying that to make themselves seem nice. With these bullies and all, I really questioned it, but at this moment, I smiled at them knowing that those doubts were wrong.

Later in the day about 2 in the afternoon, I had gotten a text in my Canadian History class from my mother. She told me that she was gonna be home late because she had to prepare some paintings for a local art gallery here in town. Hearing her talking about art reminded me that I needed to stay after school for Art. I then began to text Joe and asked if he could drive me back to my house after that. He quickly responded saying that after he gets off from work from Foot Locker at 7 he'd love to.

2:55 P.M.

"Hello Dawn!" said Ella as I walked into my classroom.

"Hello Ella, Gwen, what is this project that we are supposed to do?" I asked her.

"It's simple; basically we go around the school and gain inspiration for our art. Since we don't really have a lot of time to do this in school, after school is the best time to do this." said Gwen.

"And we can draw this on anything we want?" I asked her.

"Yeah anything is fine is from what I am aware of." She replied to me.

"I'm going to the choir room, I'm thinking of drawing our choir at practice." said Ella.

"I'm planning on going to the outdoor greenhouses that we have and maybe drawing some of the things I see there. Dawn do you have an idea of where you what you want to draw?" asked Gwen.

"Not really, I'll just look around for something." I said to them. I picked up several pieces of paper and a pencil and made my way out of the classroom.

"What to draw…what to draw." I asked myself as I made my way down the hall. I wanted to draw the outdoors, but I felt like that I did that a lot already, so it would be nice to draw something else. As I made my way down the hall, I began to feel something. It felt like an aura…a very blue aura at that. I turned around the corner to see that there was a girl crying on the floor. She wore a cheerleader outfit, had blonde hair, and was sitting on the ground.

"Hello…may I ask what is going on? I sensed an aura and it lead me to you." I said to her.

"Oh…it's nothing. I should really stop this. You sensed my aura?" the girl asked still crying.

"Yes, I can sense people's auras, and yours is exceptionally blue at the moment. I can only assume that you're crying because someone is being mean to you?" I said to her.

"Well…yeah, it's my sister." She said to me. I then took a seat right next to her.

"I'm Dawn. I feel it very rude of me to intrude on your personal matters without you even knowing my name." I said to her.

"I'm Sammy…but everybody calls me Samey." She said to me.

"Why may I ask do they call you that?" I asked her.

"It's my sister Amy. She's my twin and everybody loves her more than me. I was born seventeen minutes after her and ever since then, I've always come second to her. She beats me in everything. In cheerleading, in having friends, in being loved by my family…everything. Which leaves me with nothing, absolutely nothing." She said as she continued to cry. I could tell that this girl had gone through a lot, but I honestly couldn't have imagined that she was going through this much.

"So your sister bullies you for being inferior?" I asked her.

"Yeah…I don't want to talk about it anymore…I'm already upset about all this. Today, she made me look so stupid. She spilt a bunch of water on me before cheerleading practice and called me clumsy and a poor excuse of a cheerleader and a sister. I didn't even go to cheerleading practice…I ran here and started to cry."

"Well Sammy, I know what it feels like to be bullied. I've been getting bullied by Jo, Scott, and Lightning. It hasn't been happening lately because of my boyfriend Joe…but Sammy, you should believe that you're not inferior to your sister. I mean if you two are identical, then you two should be just as pretty as the other. And from what I can tell from your aura and learning more about you, you certainly are anything far from being second to her." I said.

"You really mean that? You aren't just saying that to me?" asked Sammy.

"Yes, I mean what I say. I would never want to go and fill your head with lies. You mentioned that she has a lot of friends…I can only assume that means you have little to none. I'll be your friend." I said to her. As I said this, I remembered back to my first day moving into Wawanakwa that Zoey had said the same thing to me when I came. I really would have to thank her for that. I put my hand over hers.

"Thank you…Dawn is it? I really needed someone to talk to about this. It makes me a little happier to know I have a friend. But I don't want to go back to practice…I don't want to deal with Amy." She said to me.

"What if I go to her? Maybe a talk with me will make her realize the sister that she has. The wonderful and caring sister she has." I said to her.

"You'd do that?" she asked me in surprise.

"Of course, that's what friends are for." I said to her in a calm voice. I began to walk into the gym where the practice was being held to see if I could find Amy. It wasn't very hard to point her out as she looked identical to Sammy. She wore the exact same clothes, had the exact same hairstyle, but the one difference was the beauty mark she had under her right eye. I could sense a dark aura from her as well, but I was more than willing to help Sammy with her sister than let her down. I began to make my way to her.

"Are you Amy?" I asked her.

"Who exactly are you? Do you work for the newspaper? Are they finally deciding to do an article about me?" she asked. I could tell that she was very narcissistic from her response, another thing that differed from Sammy.

"No, I'm not with the newspaper, and I'm Dawn. I was wondering if I could talk to you for a second." I asked her.

"Ugh, another weirdo…fine, but make this quick. I need to get back to practicing soon." She said to me. I then began to lead her to the entrance of the gym.

"So what exactly do you want?" she asked me in a harsh tone.

"I want to talk to you. It's about the way you treat Sammy." I said to her. She immediately snapped after that.

"You mean Sparemey? What are you playing at? She's a no good worthless sister who can't do the simplest thing right. I treat her like anyone would treat her. Like a nobody because that's all she is." said a very bitter Amy.

"I sense you have a very dark aura towards your sister. I heard about all the things that you do to her on a daily basis and make her feel. It's not right in the slightest to make her feel so horribly. She already feels horrible that she is second to you, but it just makes her feel worse that she has you treating her the way you do." I said to her. She shot me an angry glance.

"Because she's a failure! I tell her the things I do because she's a failure! I'm ashamed to even have her as a sister." She said to me.

"Maybe if you started treating her with some kindness instead of shooting her down, maybe she'd be able to do well at cheerleading, and at making friends, and at being appreciated by family. She sounds very jealous of you, but maybe it's you who's jealous of her." I said to her.

"Me, be jealous of her? Are you crazy!?" she yelled at me.

"I believe that you are jealous of her. Jealous of the fact that you might be the more attractive of the two in your world, she's the kinder of the two of you. Unlike you, she seems to treat people with respect and kindness even when she receives none from you. You seem to not only treat her with disrespect, but everyone around you. I can sense this from your aura. You hated Sammy because she was something you always wanted to be. Kind, nice, respectful to others. Instead, you took a different path, and put her through seventeen years of pain and suffering because you couldn't be what you wanted. You became popular, while your sister didn't. And to add to all that, you bullied her. If there is one thing that I can't stand, it's bullies. And if I have to tell you this every day until you begin to appreciate her, then I will! If I had a sister, I would want it to be someone like Sammy!" I said to her with a slight hint of anger in my tone. She was dumbstruck with what I had just said to her.

"Well…well…" she said.

"Well what?" I asked her calmly.

"You're…right. I've never heard anyone put it that way…I hated my sister because of what she had that I didn't. She was nice and kind. You think I wanted to be popular? To treat people like crap? I do this because I've been doing this for so longer, and most of this gets directed towards Same…Sammy. Oh, I've been a horrible sister…" said Amy. She then began to tear up after hearing that. I put a hand on her shoulder.

"Amy, you can make this right. She's waiting outside. If you really are sorry, and really want to reconcile with your sister, then make it right." I said to her.

"Thank you Dawn. I will." She said. Amy then began to walk out of the gym, with me following her.

"Amy…what are you doing here. I'm so sorry, I'm such a failure." said Sammy.

"No stop…there's something I need to tell you Sammy." She said.

"Amy…did you just call me Sammy?" she asked in amazement.

"Yeah I did…Sammy, before today, I never realized about how poorly I treated you. Honestly, I was jealous of you." She said.

"Jealous…of me?" said Sammy.

"Yeah believe it or not…you were so much kinder to people and people didn't like that. I wanted to be nice as well, but seeing you get shot down by people…it made me take another path. I became mean and that's when I started focusing my hatred towards you. I hated the fact that if I was nice, I wouldn't have people like me. It was so stupid, and yet I told myself that I was happy. Happy making horrible friends, happy being loved by our family more than you, more mostly…hurting you. Sammy, I've been quite possibly the worst sister ever…if I could redo it all, I would. I truly would. Sammy, you're a wonderful sister…you're so full of life and love which just makes me more jealous of you. I want…I want to fix our relationship. What do you say…sis?" said Amy. Sammy continued to look in awe at hearing what Amy had just said to her. Sammy then got up and hugged Amy. Amy returned the hug.

"Oh yes Amy! I can't believe you actually said that to me! Dawn, thank you so much…I…I don't know how to repay you for this." said Sammy in disbelief.

"Neither can I…I wish there was some way of repaying you for this." said Amy. I then began to remember that I had my pictures and pencil.

"Actually there is one thing you two could do for me." I said to them.

9:45 A.M.

"Wow Dawn! That's really good!" said Ella.

"I must admit, that is a very good drawing." said Gwen. They were both looking at the drawing I had made. I had drawn a picture of Sammy and Amy in a hug.

"This drawing is of Amy and Sammy. It shows that even though that these two seem to be different when it comes to personality…they are a lot more similar than just their looks. One wanted to be so much like the other that it drove her to great lengths to show it. Amy finally saw the error in her ways and reconciled with her sister. It really was a touching thing to see.

"Dawn, that's lovely! You're such a nice girl. I'm so glad to be friends with you!" said Ella. She then hugged me. Gwen followed that up by patting me on the back.

As I left Art that day, Joe was waiting for me outside. I gave him a kiss and he looked back at me.

"So what did they think of that drawing of yours? He asked.

"They adored it." I told him.

"Well I knew they would. It really was a very touching piece Dawn. You should be proud of it." I smiled and we began to walk to fourth period. As we were walking I noticed two people. It was Amy and Sammy walking side by side.

"Hi Dawn!" said Amy and Sammy together. I smiled and waved at both of them. I knew that upon seeing that, their sister relationship was fixed.

AN: That was Chapter 9 of No Fear. I apologize if this was too short or whatnot. I didn't want to drag this on too much. I really enjoyed writing this chapter, because of course I love writing Dawn and whatnot, but being able to fix the sister's relationship is something I've imagined for a while. Joe will be a much bigger part in Chapter 10 as he also assists in helping a certain jock who isn't very good at sports with his problems. I hope that all of you enjoyed this!
