Yeah Lincoln did have to deal with all the calls from his family and friends upon finding out that he had unwittingly met (and in Duncan's case had a confrontation with) Gwen's 2 ex-boyfriends from her time on the show. Still The call ended up being made to Chris that they would appear and they could hear his dark laugh which didn't make them feel any better; plus giving specific instructions to Gwen about how she would appear because off course he would want the fact that he got her be a spectacle about it.

Lincoln and Dawn were dressed casually and as for Gwen along with her hair non dyed in it's now normal ponytail; she went with a shirt of blue and dark green reminiscent of the sleeves of her teen attire as well as a black jacket.

They were in Vanzilla (now under Lincoln's ownership) and driven to the closest car park to the convention centre as they didn't want to make any more of a fuss than necessary by agreeing to a provided limo. Lincoln reached the parking spot and got them out and with it paid. "You know; it would have been better if this hunk of junk did us a solid but no... When it would have been better for this to break down; it actually decides to fully work for the whole journey!" Gwen muttered as she got out and kicked the wheel and the sentiment was shared. Lincoln himself wasn't too thrilled about the old vehicle but the utter pride on his dad's face when he handed the keys over after Lincoln got his license; he didn't have it in him to turn it down.

Doesn't mean that he won't celebrate privately if it finally breaks down beyond repair.

They made their way to the back entrance of the community centre where there was someone there to collect Gwen. "Good luck out there and please wish me luck; I think that we will really need it..." Gwen muttered as she separated from them for now and Lincoln and Dawn made their way to the frot and did their best to sneak through the crowds of reporters and fans through the door.

"Sorry about that... Ezekiel right?" Lincoln asked as they ended up knocking into the back of Ezekiel who looked to have been returned to normal with his skin color and hair which was great for them; the dubious honour of having been harmed the most on that show went to him. Ezekiel wearing some gold chains then pointed finger guns to them as if they were fans going to greet him.

They noticed at the door entrance there was Geoff and Bridgette and they started to look disappointed as it would seem that it was official that Gwen wouldn't be turning up. They sighed and noticed the entrance to the official area of the Reunion with some recognisable cast members.

Before they could reach the doors there was Geoff and Bridgette coming up to them with a TV crew; "Well here we have the unexpected guests of the winner of most popularity polls on the Revenge of the Island contestants Dawn here with her boyfriend Lincoln who can be considered an honorary Total Drama-ite!" Bridgette said through a microphone that she was holding coming up to them and they decided to be polite and wave to the cameras. Lincoln thought of all the pointers that Lola sent his way through texts about how to proceed with being on this Reunion Special but with her still being a drama queen happy for the fame, he decided to ignore them.

"I just want to give our sincere apologies for a certain bad boy who had better behave himself or he is out of here so we hope he won't give you any trouble!" Bridgette told them honestly and earnestly as they gave a quick thanks.

"So Lincoln; can we ask for the camera what is it like dating the Moonchild? Does her freaky powers weird you out and have they passed to you?" Geoff asked as Bridgette shook her head as they gulped but Lincoln put on a smile.

"Well... I can't ready Auras like she can but I can read breaths and yours' tell me Geoff that it desperately needs a mint otherwise your next kiss won't be a pleasant experience for Bridgette." Lincoln answered as Dawn giggled and made off to the entrance to the hall for the Reunion as Geoff checked his breath with his hand as Bridgette was struggling to hold back laughter.

They went through and saw the walls decorated to make it look like the camp areas from the island seasons from the show and there were different screens on the walls there to show what the cameras were picking up and what the audience watching at home would see. There were different tables with props there and a lot of camera crew.

They looked around and saw many notable figures through the hall like Lindsay with husband Tyler; there was Heather who got her own trashy talk show, former Celebrity Manhunt co-host Blaineley was there surprisingly enough and they spotted Owen gorging on a snack table and next to him was best friend Noah talking to some guests. "Oh yeah; Emma and I are going quite steady... We even had a double date with Ella and Dave who you must remember Sky..." Noah was bragging and among those he was talking to was Total Drama Pahkithew Island winner Sky.

"I see where Duncan is so we can avoid him..." Dawn muttered looking to the far right corner of the area and Lincoln nodded but he then pointed out another notable figure.

"As for those to definitely avoid... There is number 2..." Lincoln muttered as it was none other than the infamous Alejandro and Dawn tensely nodded; no questions about Lincoln being right about it.

"How about we officially kick things off?" Geoff shouted through the microphone entering with Bridgette as the intercom started playing a full cover of the Total Drama theme with the full lyrics and there was some dancing about to this; including the infamous Izzy who was swinging about Tarzan style on a rope there so they had to duck down when she came near them.

Once it was done Lincoln and Dawn decided to go to the food tables and their eyes widened as they looked and saw models of the Brunch of Disgustingness; from one of the hardest episodes to have to sit through of that original season. "Just models but... Somehow I feel like I can taste them..." Lincoln muttered going green in the face and along with Dawn but there was an amused look coming up to them and they realised it was Courtney.

"I would have done this no problem if I wasn't unfairly eliminated but no need to dwell too much on that part of the past. Welcome to the Reunion and please feel like you are one of us Lincoln. I assure you that as the official lawyer associated with this event that any further antics from him will not be tolerated." Courtney greeted them and they nodded.

"Yeah... A strong stomach except for sundaes..." Lincoln joked and gulped but it seemed that Courtney was taking it in stride as she then led them away.

"Yeah but let's see you get some things that are actually edible..." Courtney explained and they saw it was a food table being set up by DJ and his mother. They looked impressed by the food and Lincoln tried some sandwiches and Dawn went for the vegetarian options and they were great.

"Fantastic..." Lincoln muttered in awe as they tried it.

"Thanks; Mama and I are giving the food business another shot! Planning to open our own chain of restaurants!" DJ replied with a smile as they wished them luck on that and Lincoln had an idea that Dawn picked up on.

"Lincoln can help you get in touch with someone who could help with that. If you have been to Lynn's Table well... The chain is owned by Lincoln's father; the first place set up in his hometown when he was 11." Dawn explained as Lincoln gave a wink to a camera for his dad who would be watching at home.

"No way! That is place is great and I tried everything..." Owen shouted excitedly as Noah scoffed.

"While also leaving a huge tab..." Noah muttered and they laughed and Lincoln then realised something and Dawn picked up on it.

"Courtney... Do you know if a certain someone is going to show up who was on my team and was on your second team in All-Stars?" Dawn asked hesitatingly as they picked up on who she meant.

"Don't worry Dawn; Scott wasn't invited so no drama between you on that part." Bridgette assured her coming up with Geoff and she and Lincoln felt relieved about that.

"But we do have 2 Revenge of the Island and All-Stars alumni who are coming up now!" Geoff said and Lincoln and Dawn were greeted by Zoey and Mike.

"You came! So glad you did; even if I could understand if Duncan turned you away with his behaviour." Mike said and Zoey nodded excitedly.

"Plus Duncan doesn't know what he is talking about; I adore the Moon Goats and though he wasn't into my favourite music genres, I did like Mick as well!" Zoey said as Lincoln smiled.

"I am sure that Luna will appreciate that Zoey." Lincoln said as they got more food and drinks and soon Geoff and Bridgette went to where there was a stage that had Chris on top of it.

"Can we give a shout out to the Total Drama winners among them: Island winner Owen, Action winner Beth, Revenge of the Island winner Cameron, World Tour winner Heather, All-Stars winner Zoey and Pahkithew Island winner Sky." said Bridgette and there was clapping as soon they made themselves known coming up to them and bowed with Heather looking particular smug to all the applause.

"Now give your applause to Owen and Heather the winners who never got to keep their prize money." Geoff said and there were a lot of laughs and Owen took it in stride but Heather just shook grunted with her arms folded with Lincoln and Dawn among those laughing.

"That was funny, I have to admit... At least he is not super Captain Hollywood because I kept wondering through those Aftermath episodes of Action... How had it took so long for him to be dumped during those?" Lincoln admitted and there were grunts and nods at this.

"At least he was able to realise how wrong he was acting and able to salvage this; they probably wouldn't have fixed things. Certainly not engaged right now..." Dawn told him but it was picked up by the cameras and other people and they stared and them and the host couple their eyes widened as Dawn looked regretful. "Oh... That was supposed to be a surprise... Sorry... I read the Auras and..." Dawn explained as Geoff sighed.

"That was supposed to be the last big surprise for the show..." Geoff muttered and Bridgette looked like she was taking it in stride even if shocked at first. Chris however was laughing to himself about having a replacement surprise.

Dawn went up to apologise but Bridgette smiled and said "don't sweat it Dawn; it was an accident and... It doesn't matter how we tell everyone but Geoff is going to make me a happy woman! I hope that I can count on you all to be there as guests for our big day!" Bridgette looked to the crowd as they cheered and clapped.

"Talking of wedding invites..." Mike whispered to Lincoln who sighed and so did Dawn as she rejoined them; they didn't know how to go about that particular topic right now as they wanted to focus on getting through the Reunion.

"We have here beatboxer Harold and especially up and coming singer Trent here to perform for the Reunion and what better to start than a reunion of the Drama Brothers with Cody and Justin!" said Chris on the stage as there was loud claps and cheers as the curtains opened up to show the four of them together with the music starting so they could perform their crying song and it was mostly Trent doing the heavy lifting on the singing part and it wasn't too bad. Lincoln guessed that they mainly used Trent's talent and their Total Drama fame to carry their popularity.

However everyone got into it and were clapping and cheering by the end; with the four going to the stage and Harold being embraced by LeShawna and Trent joining the ones with Lincoln and Dawn while Justin went to some female guests to be swooned over while the curtains closed. "So Lincoln from one engaged man to another; can we get some word about your fiancé?" Geoff asked as eyes were on him and he gulped with Dawn nervous as Lincoln was doing his best to try and come up with a plan to BS his way out of this conversation.

Bridgette noticing that Lincoln wasn't comfortable was about to say that he didn't have to answer but to everyone's confusion the lights dimmed, the intercom started playing a cover of the Rolling Stones' Sympathy for the Devil by Cláudia Ohana.

The screens on the wall showed the backstage of the building and the screens showed the back of Gwen walking through the halls with the camera crew following her. Lincoln and Dawn held their breaths as this was it as this caused everyone else to mutter.

"No way... Chris actually got her to come..." Bridgette muttered in disbelief as they stared as she walked to the stage area behind the curtains.

"For the final guest here; she is known as the Loner, the runner up of Island and to many... Boyfriend Kisser... But you all know her as..." Chris said through his microphone pointing to the curtains.

""Hope you guess my name..."

There was applause as Gwen looked stoic walking through the curtains and noticed everyone and waved as she walked down the steps with the lights going back to normal as soon the song stopped. There was Duncan giving her a smirk and a wink and Trent in awe which was caught by those around him and gave him encouraging smiles.

Lincoln and Dawn however took advantage of the fact that all eyes were on Gwen to look at eachother with a similar look. Here it comes and hope for the best; just pretend that they had never met her and they should be able to get through this...

For Gwen's appearance for her hair (plus appearance for Duncan) look to the cancelled fan-made project Total Drama Reunion which got one episode made but then a cease and desist from Fresh TV shut it all down. Does suck when a promising fan made project gets the axe. Yeah I am putting in continuity in this story the Pahkithew Island ending where Sky won plus the All-Stars ending where Zoey won.
