Courtney and Duncan free-fall for the water. Courtney is screaming, and clinging to Duncan. She had dropped the raft a while before. Who cares?, she thinks.

Courtney is thrust into the water, and she immediately releases Duncan. The water pouring from the waterfall pounds her body. Courtney sees bubbles coming from her mouth. Oops, I'm still screaming, Courtney thinks, and she shuts her mouth to save oxygen. She flails her arms, fighting to reach the surface. Her head was pounding and her lungs were aching for air. Where the f*ck is the surface?, Courtney thinks, starting to freak out. All she sees is blue. And white bubbles. Green weeds at the bottom of the river… Tan sand… Black. Pitch black. Nothing.


Duncan gasps for air. He treads water.

"Courtney! Courtney!" he yells. His head swings around, looking for her. Something hits him on the back of the head. He turns around and sees the raft. At least it didn't pop, he thinks.

"Courtney!"

No response. Duncan dives under the water and searches for her body. Nothing but mud at the bottom. Wait. There's a dark blue shape in the distance. Duncan swims towards it, but finds out it's just a clump of weeds at the bottom. He pops back up for air, then continues the search. The mud makes way to sand. Duncan almost turns around to look in the other direction when he sees something brown, waving in the water. Hair! Courtney's hair!

Duncan swims over, and takes her in his arms. Duncan swims to the surface, and towards the raft. He puts Courtney in the raft, then he climbs in after her.

"Courtney! Courtney!" Duncan exclaims, shaking her shoulder. He lifts her head into his lap. Duncan pats Courtney's cheek, trying to wake her up.

"Courtney! Courtney, come on! Courtney!" Duncan's eyes well up and he angrily wipes the tears from his eyes.

"Please, Courtney, please! Don't do this, Courtney. Courtney! Courtney, I love you." Duncan weeps openly now.

Courtney coughs.

"Courtney? Courtney! Courtney, come on, cough again." She does. Duncan smiles, and now he's crying for joy. He lifts her head so it's hanging over the edge of the raft. He holds her hair back, and she pukes up water.

Courtney groans. "Duncan?"

"Yeah, it's me," he says in relief. Courtney groans.

"Ouuuuch, I have a major headache," she complains. Duncan chuckles.

"Hey, we made it," Courtney says, pointing up from her place in Duncan's lap. He looks up. The finish line.

Geoff and Bridgette already made it here first.

Oh well, Duncan thinks, At least I still have Courtney. He looks down. She's asleep in his lap. Duncan pulls her closer to him and rocks her in his arms.
