Summary: What if Gwen had not kissed Duncan? Possible one-shot.
Xxx
When Gwen said that she would not last longer if Courtney if had anything to say about it she was absolutely right. Remembering her promise to Cody Gwen tried to avoid being eliminated as much as she could, by making an alliance with Cody and much to her surprise Heather. Unfortunately when they lost the challenge when Gwen and Courtney tried to eliminate each other and it ended in a tie which led to being forced into a tie-breaker challenge. The challenge involved feeding two starving koalas but Gwen could not do it because she was allergic to eucalyptus.
So she forfeited the challenge much to Cody's disappointment. She managed to say goodbye to Cody before she took the Drop of Shame. She was stranded in Australia before an intern came and picked her up taking her back to Playa des Losers. To her surprise this time it was in Hawaii.
She had just got off the boat when she heard someone shout.
"Gwen!"
She turned and saw Trent running up to her followed by LeShawna.
"Hey there, girl. Saw what happened today. Man, Courtney was insane!" said LeShawna.
Gwen smiled.
"It's not her fault; she thinks I stole her boyfriend."
"But, Gwen, you refused to kiss him. She's overreacting." Said Trent.
"Maybe but Duncan did try to cheat on her. Even if I didn't kiss him it would still hurt that he tried to cheat on her. With her it's always easier to be angry than sad. Unfortunately, it means she won't listen to reason."
"I'll say, but I guess I owe you an apology." Said Trent rubbing the back of his head.
Gwen had a confused look on her face.
"For what?"
"For thinking you were going out with Duncan behind mine and Courtney's back. You pretty much proved that I was wrong."
Gwen smiled at that.
"You already apologized and I already forgave you. But right now we have a bigger problem."
"Like what?" asked LeShawna.
"Well, I don't know what is going on with Duncan. For as long as I have known him he has been loyal to Courtney even when she was so controlling. What he did was so quick and sudden that I have no idea what the hell he was thinking."
"True that, girl. I remember how mad he was when he thought Trent cheated on you with Heather." Said LeShawna.
Gwen and Trent looked away when she said that. Neither liked being reminded what that.
"Sorry."
"No. That's all right. You're right. Duncan was never the type of person to approve of something like that." Said Gwen reassuringly. "No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get anything out of him."
"I know that. Girl, you were awesome telling him off like that." LeShawna smiled.
Gwen smiled back as they walked off the dock.
"So, Hawaii is the new Playa Des Losers?"
"I know. This place is awesome." Said Trent.
"How is everyone?"
"More or less the same."
They walked into the resort everyone was staying at.
"Hey Gwen!" shouted a voice.
Gwen looked and saw Geoff waving at her.
"Hey, Geoff. How's it going?"
"Been great around here. Sorry, that you eliminated yourself again. Man that sucks."
Gwen shrugged.
"No biggie. But I was wondering, you're hosting the Aftermath again, right?"
Geoff nodded.
"So was Duncan on the Aftermath show after he quit?"
"Sorry, Gwen, but we had no idea where Duncan was until he showed back up in London." Geoff replied shaking his head.
Gwen sighed.
"Great. So in other words no one else can explain the sudden change."
"Sorry I can't help. I was wondering what Duncan was thinking too when I saw what happened. But I got say what you did was awesome. It looked like you were actually going to kiss him."
Gwen chuckled and rubbed the back of her head.
"I thought I was going to."
"So you were tempted?" asked Trent.
"I'd be lying if I said no and Duncan didn't seem to care about what the consequences could have been. To be honest I was horribly tempted to just stop thinking about wrong it was and go ahead. But I couldn't forget how I felt when I thought Trent cheated on me with Heather, no offence Trent." Said Gwen.
"None taken."
"I didn't want to do that to Courtney so I stopped. Not that it did me a lot of good."
"It did enough, girl." Said LeShawna putting her hand on Gwen's shoulder.
"I guess. So what has been happening here? Geoff, I don't see Bridgette anywhere."
Geoff had a sad look on his face.
"Sorry, was it something I said?" Gwen asked immediately remembering that Bridgette kissed Alejandro.
"No, it wasn't you. There's just that crazy blonde chick from the Celebrity's hunt hosting the Aftermath show with me."
"What do you mean?"
Geoff smiled and held up his hands.
"Nothing you need to worry about, Gwen."
He walked off after waving good bye.
"What's been going on here?"
"That Blaineley has been causing grief for everyone on the Aftermath show. She tried to have Geoff and Bridgette fight each because of Bridgette kissing Alejandro. She's like Geoff was before Bridgette straightened him out." Said LeShawana.
"That's not good."
"Yeah and you have to go on that show too." Said Trent.
Gwen sighed.
"That's just great."
They entered the hotel and saw DJ along with Noah, Beth, Lindsay, Harold, and Eva by the elevators.
"Hey, Gwen, saw what happened today. Man, Courtney's gone whack." DJ said as he saw them walk in.
"Hey, DJ. It's all right. Besides, it's not Courtney that bothers me right now. It's Duncan." Gwen replied.
"Because he tried to kiss you and cheat on Courtney. Man, I did not see that coming." Said Noah.
"You weren't the only one." Said Trent.
"I know. Even if Courtney is barely a human being cheating on her is so mean." Said Beth.
"Yeah, poor Cora." Said Lindsay.
"You mean Courtney." Corrected Noah.
"I don't know what the boy has got going on in his head but I hope Courtney slaps him good on the head." Said LeShawna.
"That'll be fun to watch." Said Eva.
"Yeah." Harold agreed.
"Geoff told me no one had seen Duncan until we found him in London. I hoped if someone knew where he was and what he had been up to when Chris threw him off the plan over Egypt it would give me clue to his sudden behaviour." Said Gwen.
"Sorry, Gwen. Chris had all of us looking for him but we never found him until you and Courtney found him." Said Trent.
"Really, no clues?"
"Well, a lot of viewers thought they saw him in over a dozen places, one guy thought they saw him in the Loch Ness in Scotland but that was a hoax, another guy thought he saw Duncan running through a forest in Sweden, then someone said he was in Texas dressed in an Elvis Presley costume and a wig but that was another hoax, and another guy thought they saw him in Italy dressed as a monk." Said Beth remembering all of Duncan's rumoured appearances.
Gwen snickered as she imagined Duncan wearing any of those costumes.
"Duncan's nuts. I heard what he said when you were talking to him. He's gone crazy." Said DJ.
"Yeah, like he was okay in the head before." Said Noah sarcastically.
"As much as I want to agree with you I can't stop looking for answers." Said Gwen.
"Why not?" asked Trent.
"Because I have known Duncan for over a year and I know him well enough to know he would never do something like this. Sure he was a delinquent and a criminal but he was a good guy when you got to know him. He helped you all out a lot."
"He's also proven to be devious an equal number of times. And he never helped me." Said Noah.
"He's right about that." Said Beth.
"You were never on a team with him." Said LeShawna shrugging.
"And you didn't exactly make an effort to make friends." Said Gwen smirking.
"Whatever." Said Noah.
"Why do you need to do this?" asked Trent turning back to Gwen.
"Duncan pretty much broke Courtney's heart and ruined any chance I had at actually being a friend to her and proving that I was not interested in stealing Duncan from her. He wanted to cheat on her with me which makes me in some ways responsible."
"But you never kissed him." Said DJ.
"Yeah." Said Lindsay.
"This isn't about whether I kissed him or not. It's about helping a friend."
"Even if she totally hates your guts?" asked LeShawna.
"You weren't too happy with me when I whacked Harold on the head with a shovel but I would have helped you if you needed help. Beth and Lindsay were mad at me because they thought I allowed Trent to sabotage their challenges. A whole bunch of people along with nearly all the contestants were not happy with me when I broke up with Trent and sabotaged my team. It didn't matter to me then and it doesn't matter to me now; I would have helped any of you if you needed it."
LeShawna sighed and smiled.
"Girl, you are crazy, but hey I'm all for it."
"Me too." Said Trent.
"I don't really care but I guess it will be better than doing nothing." Eva said crossing her arms.
"If LeShawna is in so am I." Said Harold.
"Do you even know where to start Gwen?" asked Noah.
"To be honest I have no idea. Guess right now all I can do is watch the show and see if I can learn anything from watching them."
"In other words just sit around and watch TV?" Noah said sarcastically.
"Yeah pretty much unless you have a better idea."
"No, no. It's your plan, your time to waste." Noah said walking away.
"He needs to get himself a girl." Said LeShawna.
