Hello Everyone! I decided to try out a new Total Drama story as I remember being into it and I have the TDI and TDA DVDs. Sure, it may be quite a controversial cartoon at times, but I genuinely loved watching it sometimes. So, I thought I would do a story on my favourite character Gwen and my other favourite Duncan. Now, I know both of them have mixed reputations, but in this story, I want to make them stay in character, but do some slight changes too. I think everyone can agree that we knew Gwen and Duncan would be a couple, but not in the way everyone would expect. So I hope you all enjoy. Also, I wanted to add in a bit of trauma to Gwen, as I can imagine her father not being there because of an accident. So this will take place in Episode 13: I see London, but before the "kiss" and after when Courtney and Gwen basically kidnapped Duncan lol.
After Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot's Elimination.
Third Person Narrative
After the boys team, CIRRRRH came out of the elimination room. Team Amazon were enjoying their victory in first class, Courtney was nowhere is sight as she went up to Duncan and pulled him aside to talk. Gwen couldn't help, but notice. She felt her curiosity get the better of her, and boy was she surprised. There she saw Courtney hugging Duncan, who's gazed fixed on Gwen's straight away, but in a loving manner? Gwen stared back, unsure and gently bit her lower lip, which didn't help, as she could see Duncan smirking flirtatiously. It wasn't just the looks he gave her, but what he said shocked her.
"Every time I ran from the cops, I thought of you," Duncan lightly flirted. That was when Gwen knew she had to retreat and walk off, pretending not to hear what he said.
"No..no..no... that must've been directly at Courtney r-right? Yeah! Surely.. but then.. why was he staring at me like that?." Gwen repeatedly thought.
Gwen decided to walk back into first class and do some doodling in her diary. She realised what the time was 11PM as she checked her phone quickly. She groaned thinking about how much jet lag that she will be going through. Courtney walked back in and decided to go back to her seat, she looked up at Gwen and smiled a bit. Gwen couldn't help, but smile back a bit.
Later, at near morning.
Gwen's POV
Here I was.. I heard muffled sounds, explosions, and felt the shaky turbulence underground. Where am I? No.. it can't be that dream can it? I paced around looking for anyone, I suddenly could feel the dust stinging in my eyes and trying to suffocate me. I used my arm and elbow to stop the rest coming and started running, even thought I had my eyes closed. I could still sense other people being near my direction, until I bumped into a tall figure. It took me awhile to take a good look at who I bumped into, due to all the dust and smoke. It was him..
"D-Dad? Is that y-you?."
I could feel the tears threatening my eyes to leak out, then I started to realise where I was.. I was underground?! NO!! I felt my chest tightening and myself trying to gasp heavily, while my Dad was just staring with ominous white glowing eyes, then he faded. Suddenly I could hear more rumbling of the earth coming down on me.
"NO NO, PLEASE COME BACK! DAD! DADDY! NO-" I screamed and panicked.
"NO!" I gasped, breathing and panting. I looked around and I knew that I was back in first class, surprisingly everyone was still asleep soundly. I looked at my hands trembling and felt sticky sweat painted all over me. That's when I decided to go the bathroom, and have a quick shower. As I walked through the corridors, I could feel my anxiety increasing as the walls started to zoom in closer, so I ran to the bathroom and slammed the door shut. I undressed myself as I turned on the shower, making sure that no one else was around. I slid down against the cool tiles in the shower as the water sprinkled down on me. Normally, I wouldn't be the one to cry, but the dream I had was just too much.
As I felt myself on the verge of tears, I let them pour down onto my cheeks. Then all of a sudden, I heard someone banging on the door, demanding to be let in and what the ruckus was about. I then quickly heard someone lock pick the door, "Dammit..". Next thing, I heard there slight squeaky shoes and heard a familiar voice, "oh no.." I cringed..
"Yo, who's in here at this time? Can't a man get his shut ey-," He yawned annoyed, and then I realise that he probably saw my clothes, I then saw his shadow silhouette as I hid behind the shower curtain being quiet. Without doing it intentionally, I bit my lower lip rather too hard, which caused it to bleed.
"Ow! Dammit!," I cursed, and then realised that I said it out loud, I immediately covered my mouth with both of my hands. Then, I heard that deep chuckle from him, Man I missed that laugh.. and then I heard him walk out and shut the door. I poked my head out, as my wet hair covered my eyes like blinders. I then threw on a towel to cover my chest and unmentionables.. I then plugged in my hair dryer, which was a quiet but effective one. After my hair was done, then I put on some fresh deodorant and placed my clothes back on. I was about to head back through the corridor until-
Duncan's POV
I will admit, as much as I hate singing. I guess I'm somewhat thrilled to be back, and that is mostly because of my friends and girlfriend, and Gwen.. well I'll admit when I was on the run, I had done a lot of thinking. I know what you are all thinking, Duncan's Don't Think. But I realised that the relationship between Courtney and I isn't right, you don't try to change anyone at all by making 2 dozen lists and then expect them to remember it all. In some way, I don't want to think about her anymore, but also how I feel for her was not because she's smoking hot and a badass. But a team player, yet..she has ditched me a few times for the money.. it even makes me wonder if she is know with me, just for the money.
Whereas, Gwen was somewhat like a female version of well, me. She accepted who I was and never ever judged me, she is the only one I can honestly really relate to and trust. Even after, the whole scene between us in TDA, I felt something, and it wasn't just anything. It was, well more than a spark, and I guess it took me a while to find it. But now, I'm certain, and if she doesn't feel the same well, I'm not sure what I would do.
I tried to go to the bathroom, but clearly someone else already got there first. I picked locked the door, and looked down at the clothes that were scattered all over the floor. I recognised them anywhere and I knew it was Gwen. I won't deny that I felt like an awkward dork and how I felt my cheeks getting red. Pfft, maybe it's just the heat and steam from the shower right?... I shook my head and was about to walk out till I heard a muffled voice, and I could secretly see her silhouette behind the curtain which made me smirk, so I came up with an idea.. as I walked out the door and closed it so steady. I then saw Gwen walk out of the bathroom as I jump-scared her from behind.
Third Person POV
When Duncan jumpscared Gwen, she got a fright and instantly punched his gut. In which he responded to being in pain, Gwen would normally laugh in response, but since her conflicted feelings for Duncan resurfaced she realised what she had done and bent over to help him. She apologised more than twice, which Duncan thought was kind of cute. He then went up to Gwen quietly and without a word, he hugged her tight. Gwen realised what he was doing and hugged back. It was clear that they both missed each other dearly, they both could have not had a better reunion.
Then, the pair both realised that they were hugging a little too close for comfort. They pulled away, blushing. There were little glances and Duncan felt his heart racing slightly, as did Gwen's. Suddenly, they both decided to go and catch up somewhere quite.
In The Elimination Room
Gwen's POV
I'll admit when Duncan bumped into me, and we hugged. I could've sworn I felt his heart racing against my ear, it was a beautiful sound. We both knew that we had so much to catch up on, I explained to him about the challenges, who got voted out and who is winning so far. Surprisingly, he listened to me and he talked about what adventures he had while he was out. Then, I felt my phone buzz a bit and realised what today was.. it was October 15th..
Duncan could tell from my face that I was upset and asked what was wrong, then I showed him my phone and gasped a bit silently. Yes, that's right I've told him about Dad, he would've loved to meet him, despite being a punk. Dad probably would've welcomed him with open arms, along with Mom and my brother. I stood up with my phone in tow, as I slowly walked up to the plane control panels. Chef must've left it in pilot mode, I stared at the sun slowly starting to come up as the orange skies were painted across the sky. Suddenly, I felt Duncan wrap his arms around my waist into a gentle squeeze as his head dipped into my right shoulder. No words were needed, we both stared at the sun rising and then I felt his mohawk and hair nuzzle the side of my face.
That's when I knew, that I am truly not alone. I have my friends by my side, and my family, but most of all.. a certain punk who is deep down a softie.
Awwwwwwwww I know this is too fluffy, but I wanted to try something different for a change and I'm really happy with how it came out. I will do more chapters soon, as I have finished college :D
So plz be patient with me, and I will say this that I can imagine Gwen having Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, in which foreshadows her claustrophobia and triggers it. As I can imagine her Dad would've died from that as a result. Sorry if this is also sad, but I also wanted it to be realistic :)
