Present 2: Bridgette

Like her departure from the Dock of Shame, her arrival at Playa des Losers was met with a similar reception. All forms of welcomes, regrets and would be comfort came to a grinding halt as the other losers got wind of her new "perfume."

Katie and Sadie had promptly dropped the sandwiches they were eating and raced towards the hotel, their hands over their mouths. Tough Eva, mcgorgeous Justin and cynical Noah were clinging to each other in fear and had actually run away screaming as she had approached, their actions knocking a wheelchair bound Cody, Tyler and Beth off the dock in the process.

"Oh come on! It's not that bad!" Bridgette protested looking towards Courtney for support. The CIT however was not listening as she proceeded to violently shake an unconscious Harold. "Darn you! Wake up so I can kill you!" She screeched. Sighing in defeat the blonde surfer started towards the hotel.

"Bridgette…Bridgette…"

Bridgette had been peacefully napping on the old couch, when the voice of her mother penetrated the summer memory. Groaning the blonde uncurled herself a grimace on her face as the warmth started to leave her body from the motion. Sleepily she rolled over onto her back, only for something to be placed on top of her stomach.

As expected her eyes shot open, immediately locking on a brown package decorated with green trees. Her annoyance at being awoken in such a manner had faded as she curiously picked up the box and shook it. The slight rattling of the contents only stoked her curiosity. Smiling her mother handed over the pair of scissors.

In a manner that would have made the unstable Izzy proud, the box was now in ragged pieces, and Styrofoam was scattered all over the couch and floor. The surfer girl was now happily holding aloft a cookie cutter of all things, while two plates filled with sweets lay next to her.

Rolling her eyes at her daughter's antics and then warning her to clean up afterwards, the elder woman left the room. Once her mom had left, Bridgette's hand found its way into the sea of packing popcorn and retrieved a red piece of paper.

As she started to read her smile disappeared and was replaced with minor disappointment. The lack of her pet name at the top as well as the usual enthusiastic dude comments confirmed it. Geoff didn't send her the package. Sighing she continued to read the note.

Two plates. One foor the person I met on the island and the other to share with friends and family eh.

Bridgette's eyes were wide with shock. There was only one person that she had met on that horrible island who spoke in such a matter. Hurriedly she read the rest.

And In case I never said soo, I didn't knoo I was hurting people with my woords and I'm really really really soorry for what I said on the island before eh!

Happy Holidays, Bridgette

Ezekiel

Bridgette's mind spun. Ezekiel had sent her a Christmas present. Ezekiel! The most clueless sexist person she had ever met in her life! The same Ezekiel who had a crush on her! The thought was too much.

Annoyed she got up from the couch and headed for her stationary box in the kitchen. This had gone on long enough. Several sheets of the ocean themed paper were quickly filled up as she harshly and very bluntly explained that she was taken, to leave her alone and that if he continued to stalk her she would call the police.

In her anger she managed to knock over an open can spilling tomato sauce onto the floor. The sight of the liquid suddenly froze her in place.

It took a few minutes for it to sink it. Annoyed she pointed a finger at the startled musician. "Hey wait a second…! You took the skunk bath too! In the wheel of torture challenge! How come YOU don't stink?!" Bridgette accused.

Trent's eyes watered from the closeness of the skunk smelling peeved female and the corner she had blocked him in prevented escape. "Ezekiel. He ambushed me in one of the hallways and doused me with a red liquid."

"Do you know what it was?!" When the other teen shook his head she slumped in disappointment until he explained. "To be honest I didn't really want to know. You'll have to find him and ask." Bridgette had wasted no time and quickly went around Playa Des Losers searching for the elusive prairie raised teen.

Bridgette's anger faded slightly as she remembered finding Ezekiel and then chasing the terrified boy throughout the hotel. It had taken her even longer to get him to stop blurting out apologies and to get him to listen.

Finally though he agreed to give her the cure, but dumping tomato juice over a female…willing or no had earned Ezekiel one heck of a beating from Eva and silent treatments from the rest of the campers.

"He was just trying to help." Bridgette said absently to herself, before her eyes widened with the realization. "He was just trying to help." She repeated louder. The crushing, the chauvinist comments…especially the crushing….somehow that one memory over powdered the others.

Glancing down at the venom filled sheets she made up her mind. Crunching the hate filled words into a ball she started again.

Dear Ezekiel,

To be honest, I never would have expected this from you, but I'm glad you went to the effort. As you mentioned in your letter, this is the time of year to celebrate with family and friends and the plates of sweets will be gladly shared with them.

Just to make things clear, I am in love with Geoff, however… I don't think I would mind becoming FRIENDS with you, but PLEASE!

Lay off the crushing on me and at least TRY to work on your people skills some okay?

Merry Christmas, Bridgette
