Come morning Autumn woke up with apounding headache. She felt her pillow breathing slowly up and down and she heard a heartbeat. 'Funny…' She thought, 'Pillows don't have heart beats or breathe.' She opened her eyes and saw Chris' sleeping face. She had been sleeping on his chest.

"Oh wow. Must be dreaming." She yawned and put her head back down. Her eyes then shot open WIDE and she screamed. That woke Chris up. He jumped knocking Autumn off the bed with the blankets.

"What what!" Chris yelled.

Autumn jumped up. She was in her bra and her blue jeans. Chris was staring at her with his mouth wide open. Her hair was curling around her face and it bounced around her shoulders and down her back. Of course he noticed her shirt was missing but she looked like one hot mess.

Autumn covered herself up and yelled, "Stop looking at me! Where's my shirt!" Autumn looked around but couldn't find it. Chris stood up and found it under a pillow.

"This it?" he laughed.

"Yes!" Autumn went to reach for it but he pulled it back. She leaned forward almost falling.

"Gimme my shirt Chris!" She yelled reaching for it again. He pulled it away and held it over his head.

"Haha make me!" Chris smirked. Autumn was blushing rosy red. She jumped up trying to reach for her shirt but Chris kept it away from her. She used both her hands this time but Chris jumped around not letting her have the shirt.

"Come on I've got a headache! I don't have time for this!" Autumn cried. She jumped at Chris, slipping on the blanket that was pulled to the floor when she fell earlier, knocking him to the bed with her on top of him.

"Oh, easy now!" Chris laughed, "I didn't know you wanted me that bad."

"Shut up Chris!" Autumn grabbed her shirt then Chris grabbed her waist.

"Come on don't go. I'm enjoying this!"Chris rolled over on top of her.

"Chris, I'm going to count to one…and if you aren't off me by then I'll make sure you never have kids." Autumn glared daggers. That made Chris jump off.

"Ok, Ok calm down! I was just playing."

Autumn jumped up, grabbed some clothes, then ran to the bathroom. She made sure to lock the door first then quickly changed and brushed her hair. She didn't even bother straightening it. She ran out before Chris could say anything and left the trailer. She sat in the cart and waited for Chris.

Chris came out fixing his hair and jumped in the drivers seat. Autumn grabbed the front of his shirt, "Chill dudette! Don't mess up the threads." Chris whined.

"Nothing happened last night. So don't go saying anything. Understand." She gripped the front of his shirt tightly.

"Ok, ok babe."

"Stop calling me that!" Autumn grabbed her head.

The whole ride to the cafeteria Chris explained today's challenge. When they stopped Autumn jumped out. Chris grabs a whistle and a surfboard then runs into the cafeteria blowing the whistle.

"Hang onto your coconuts players. Were going back to the beach!" Chris yelled. Owen started cheering. Autumn came in beside Chris. "Ever seen one of those nineteen fifty surfer movies where the kids get up to neato fun before the big bonfire twist-a-thon and the bully kicks the sand castle into the nerdy guys face?"

"Chris here would be the nerdy guy." Autumn joked. Everyone laughed. Chris glared and pouted.

Everyone shook their heads at Chris. "Uhhhh no grandpa we haven't." Duncan shook his head and crossed his arms.

"Well get ready to recreate one junior! Two challenges followed by a tie breaker if necessary. Grab your swimsuits!" Chris started walking out and everyone followed.

Chris turned to Autumn, "You need to get into a bathing suit too. For the camera." Autumn sighed and took the cart to the trailer, changed, then came back down dressed in a blue-green swirly bikini.

"Lookin hot babe!" Chris pointed to her with both hands. Autumn walked into one of the giant buildings and it was ice cold. She started shivering. Chris was wearing a giant jacket.

Duncan saw Autumn walk in with Chris, "If I could whistle, I would. But I think my face is frozen." Duncan shivered.

"When did you guys move the beach to Antarctica!" Lindsay shivered. She was in a red bikini and had sunscreen in her hand. Everyone was shivering and hugging themselves.

"As some of you can see we are actually in the shooting studio." Chris told them.

"And the AC's cranked because?" Duncan asked through chattering teeth.

"All the camera's and lights get so hot the could melt Chef's heart." Chris pointed it a smiley Chef with a gloved hand. Chef was wearing a scarf and a hat. "And the network told my agent, sweaty isn't a good look for me."

"Nothing is a good look for you Chris." Autumn shivered. Chris just smirked.

"Your first challenge is hang ten with this deck into the big blue without swallowing tail in the soup."

Leshawna gave Chris a crazy look, "What did you just ask me to do?"

"He means whoever stays on the surfboard longest, wins." Trent answered.

"Exact-a-mundo groovy cats! So who's going first?" Chris asked. Autumn rolled her eyes at Chris and slammed her palm into her forehead. He was such a dunce. No one volunteered. A cricket was chirping on a frozen spot light and instantly froze in place as a gust of icy air came by.

"The team that wins will get a half hour head start on the next challenge-" Autumn started. She was still shivering.

"And given tonight's reward you should be fighting harder than Justin's abs over who get's first shot." Chris finished.

Harold leaned over to Leshawna, "Speaking of rock hard abs have you ever seen my ten pack?" He pointed to his stomach and started straining. Leshawna just shook her head. Lindsay was struggling with the lotion bottle and it finally squirted out and turned into an pointed frozen lotion missile. It slammed into Harold's butt and sent him flying forward toward Chris.

Harold pulled the frozen lotion missile out of his end just as Chris said, "We have a volunteer!" Harold wasn't much to happy about it.

Harold walked onto the surfboard. "Mad surfing skills activate!"

"And please welcome the return of some season one fan favorites, the sharks!" Chris extended his hand out toward the small wooden pool just as a giant shark jumped out of the water. Harold freaked out and jumped onto a metal ceiling beam. The shark continued jumping for him.

"Chris… this is just torture." Autumn shook her head.

He laughed, "I know."

"My booty and I are out!" Harold cried.

"Your booty has an opinion?" Leshawna questioned.

"That's a big job for such a saggy sad little thing." Heather added.

"I have you know this is a selfless act. My lady fans couldn't handle the loss of this perfect behind." Harold explained from the beam.

Heather laughed, "And by lady fans he means his mother."

"Hey sharks look! Bacon and Fakon!" Harold pointed to the campers.

"Breakfast should last all day, no?" Owen explained as he held a plate of bacon and Fakon. The sharks went to the edge of the wooden pool and begged for the food. Harold fell from the beam and landed on the frozen diving board in front of Chris and Autumn.

"Oooh, way to stick the dismount bro."

"Ouch!" Autumn covered her face. The other campers were laughing.

Trent sighed. Beth looked at him, "Friendship bracelet?" She held up a bracelet. Trent took it and placed it on his head and counted to nine. "Ah much better."

Beth backed away from him and looked to Lindsay, "Did you notice Trent's a little weird."

"Did you say Tyler's here?" Lindsay gasps. "That's amazing!" She held her hands to her face.

"Ok Linds, Tyler is not in the game anymore." Beth explains.

"Oh right, I must have a dental block about the whole thing." Lindsay put on her thinking face when Beth backed away from her.

Lindsay jumped onto the surfboard and began surfing it. Chris changed the background from sunny to a tornado and Chef turned on the giant fans. Lindsay was struggling to stay on, "Woah! Woah!" Then she flew off and hit the screen.

DJ was up next. A shark jumped up and ripped his swim trunks off. He was totally exposed to the world. He quickly covered his manhood up and ran off. Chef yelled after him, "Your body's a beautiful thing! You don't need a suit!"

Next up was Owen he stepped onto the board and it broke in half. He tried to stay up but fell into the water causing it all the fly out. He walked out of a door that was on the side of the wooden pool, "Awh man. Sorry shark dudes! Really I'm so sorry!"

Chris blew his whistle, "Break time! Union rules."

"Finally!" Heather sighed.

"I don't mean you shark bait." Chris shook his head.

The sharks were relaxing and sipping tea from a cup while Chef served them snacks.

Gwen was up on the new surfboard."No sharks equal no problem." she said confidently.

Suddenly she heard a gun being cocked and looked over to see Chris filling some type of gun with fake seagulls.

"I love this game!" Chris laughed and began shooting the fake birds at Gwen.

Autumn slapped Chris in the back of the head when the camera man was focusing on Gwen, "Your such a cruel person!"

"Only to the campers." He rubbed the back of his head.

Gwen fell into the water and Justin climbed up the stairs to take his turn.

"Yey! Go Justin!" Lindsay cheered.

"Yeah, go!" Beth cheered as well.

"Copy cat!" Lindsay placed her hands on her hips.

"Tanerexic!" Beth yelled back but gasped. "AH! Sorry!" Lindsay looked hurt, "Friendship bracelet?" Beth offered.

Justin stood onto the board and flipped his hair dramatically. The sharks fell in love with him.

"So perfect, almost makes me believe in the inherit goodness of the human race." Chris put more fake seagulls onto the gun, "Almost!"

"Justin!" Beth cried. "Your face! Watch your beautiful face!"

Justin was hit with a bird and fell into the water. The sharks gasped. One of them grabbed him and took him out of the pool and began CPR. When Justin coughed up water the shark hugged him. Beth and Lindsay ran over.

"Oh my gosh Justin! Are you o-" Beth started but the shark pushed her and Lindsay down while still hugging Justin.

"Love's a beautiful thing." Chris sighed. Autumn scoffed and gave a sour laugh. Chris looked to her.

"What is it?" He asked.

"Nothing." Autumn looked to the floor sadly and sighed. She wasn't really cold anymore. Numb maybe but not cold. Chris continued to look at her.

Duncan was next on board.

"Oh, Finally we have Duncan! Try not to get your piercings wet." Chris laughed. Duncan rolled his eyes. Chris began shooting the fake seagulls at him. Duncan dogged them all and held his fist out and knocked the last one before it hit him. Then Chris threw a chair and a spot light. He dodged them too. Chris looked around and saw Autumn. Autumn gave him a blank look. He smirked and grabbed her throwing her at Duncan.

"AHHH!"She hit the screen.

"And with that Duncan secures victory for the screaming Gaphers." Autumn said while regaining her balance.

"Gnarly." Duncan smirked.

Autumn gave Chris the death stare. He ran off. Autumn walked over to Chef as Chris was talking to the camera.

"He is such a jerk!" Autumn crossed her arms.

"You get used to it." Chef shrugged. "By the way heard about last night."

"WHAT!" Autumn gritted her teeth and clenched her fist.

"Chris confides in me. I'm like his big brother so to speak. Don't worry your secrets safe with me." Chef waved his hand as if to wave away all the worry. Autumn grabbed him by his scarf and pulled him down to her level, "Nothing happened." She growled.

"Ok ok! I know! He told me nothing happened." Chef raised his hands in defense.

"He did?" Autumn was surprised.

"Why are you so surprised." Chef asked as Autumn let him loose. He fixed his scarf.

"He just seems like the type who wants attention all the time, and wants to look good even if it means lying through his teeth. And he always acts so pervertive!" Autumn crossed her arms.

"He's not a bad guy you know. He just doesn't know how to talk to women. He seems to get nervous." Chef explained, "He really likes you. I think anyway."

"You think?"

"Yes, by the way he looks at you when your not looking, the way he acts around you, and he almost killed Tony last night for even touching you. It's all so obvious."

"Ha, I doubt it. Anyway, I promised myself I'd never get into another relationship anytime soon. Especially, after my last one."

"What happened?"

"It's to much to explain. Maybe another time…" Autumn knew she probably said to much. She walked off leaving Chef alone.

She walked by Chris and he ran after her, "Hey you can go change back into your clothes now. Unless you don't want to. I'm liking the way you look right now." Autumn kicked Chris in the groin.

"AUGH!" he couldn't even breathe. "What…was that…for?" He fell over.

"For making me wear this, for letting me freeze, and for just being you." Autumn walked off and changed.

Autumn was in front of the camera with the campers, "Welcome back to Total Drama Action! Where against all advice to the contrary the players have changed 'out' of their bathing suits." She herself was out of her bathing suit as well and dressed in black Capri's and a tight white top.

"Hope you like swimming in your jeans." Chris crossed his arms.

"Right, cuz we are totally going to the beach for real this time. The bus is just late." Heather stuck her nose in the air. There was a honk behind her.

"You were saying?" Chris stuck his nose in the air.

Confession Cam: Autumn slams her face down onto the desk in front of her. "Chris is an idiot." She mumbled.

Beth was passing out her friendship bracelets but she ran off when Justin came by. Finally they reached the beach.

"Yes campers, we are actually back at your old stomping grounds. Total! Drama! Island! If you need to take a moment and reminisce about all the good times you had here." Everyone started busting out laughing. Chris just gave a confused face.

"Fine… we'll skip the good memory montage. Screaming Gaphers! You got a thirty minute head start on the sand castle building contest! To be judged by our resident King-O-the-dunes." Chris pointed to Chef. Chef took off his chef hat and put on a sand castle shaped one.

"Make like prop masters guys and give me something awesome. I really don't want the tie breaker to have to go down." Chris jutted his thumb over his shoulder. "Don't think legal's quite proved it yet." There was a bunch of logs tied together with a giant rock being held in the middle over a dummies head. The rock fell and crushed the dummy. Then a race car came out of nowhere and crashed onto it.

August gave her What the Fuck look. Finally the Screaming Gaphers thirty minute lead was over, the other team got to begin on their castle. Autumn waited in the background leaned against the cliff side. She was looking out into the beautiful ocean.

"Hello??" Chris started waving his hands in front of Autumn's face.

"Huh? What?!" Autumn snapped back to the real world. She saw that The Screaming Gaphers castle was ruined and the Killer Grips castle was still standing.

"What is it?"

"The teams are off to get fire wood now. What are you doing?

"Just staring off into nothing…" Autumn admitted. She crossed her arms.

"Mhmm… ok." Chris stood beside her. They were waiting for the teams to come back. Chef ran off to do some 'business' leaving the two wind blew Autumn's golden hair around her face. She looked so deep in thought.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Hm? Oh… nothing really."

Chris couldn't help but stare at her. She was just so attractive. No wonder he couldn't help but like her. She was amazing. He's heard all kinds of things about her. She's an actress, a dancer, she cares so much about everything, he could go on for days about sun was setting and casting an orange, pink, and purple glow across the water.

"Isn't it beautiful…" She asked.

"Yeah you-IT is!" Chris coughed.

"It sucks…I'm always so busy with my job that I can never just stand here and look at everything, appreciate everything, have a nice time…" Autumn uncrossed her arms. She didn't know it at the moment but her hand was so close to Chris' he could feel the warmth. He reached closer, and closer until he took her hand into his. She looked over at him with a surprised look but it softened when she saw him smiling back. She could even see a faint blush across his face. She felt the heat rise in her face closed her eyes and turned her head. Chris placed his hand on her cheek and pulled her face to his and slowly their lips met just as the sun set.

Chef was on top of the cliff watching them and wiping away a tear, "Right on soldier. He's grown up." he sniffles.

Later on the teams came back with firewood. Chris and Autumn stood in between them. Chris clapped and fire shot up from the tiki torches and the pile of sticks.

"Why did you bother sending us out to get fire wood!" Heather griped.

"I needed some alone time." Chris stuck his nose in the air.

Autumn smiled. Owen started making kissy faces. He shut up when he saw Autumn staring him down with daggers shooting from her eyes.

"Which brings us to! The tie breaking challenge!! A watusi twist, mash potato, dorky old school dance contest!" Chris was doing some dances. Autumn face palmed and walked away.

"Which means! Chose your best dancer for battle!" Autumn threw her hands in the air.

Leshawna jumped forward, "Oh! You got to pick me! My nickname back home, La-shaken-it!"

"Oh! I vote for Trent!" Lindsay chirped.

"We heard you got some fly moves." Justin added.

"Ok I'll do it if you all say my name nine times!" Trent smiled. Everyone sighed and started saying his name.

Finally, Trent and Leshawna began dancing. Autumn was laughing and dancing beside Chris to the music. He was laughing at her but not in the mean way.

Trent ended up tripping and costing the Killer Grips the final game.

"I cant believe I'm saying this, but Leshawna and the Screaming Gaphers are the winners. And your reward, the greatest beach party ever pitched!" Chris said loudly.

The losing team couldn't go back to the film lot because the bus was broken so they had to stay and watch the winning team gorge themselves on fun and food. Autumn was with the winning team and dancing with them.

"Girls got mad skills!" Leshawna said as she jumped in on the dancing.

"Got that right!" Duncan howled.

"I'm not famous for nothing!" Autumn laughed.

Finally, Chef fixed the bus and they all headed back to the abandoned film lot. Autumn sat beside Chris and they held hands the whole way. Autumn felt something in the pit of her stomach screaming out, bad idea. But for the moment it felt right and she liked it. She looked out the window to the starry night sky and sighed.

"Hm? Are you ok?" Chris asked.

"Oh, yeah. I'm just looking at the stars."

Chris looked out the window. "They aren't that impressive."

"How could you say that?" Autumn frowned.

Chris smiled and asked, "Was your dad a theft?"

"Uh… no why?"

"Because he stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes. And those are way more impressive."

Autumn blushed, "Your so cheesy." She pushed him lightly. He smiles
