MOVED TO AO3 || Someday Soon (Duncan x Oc) || Total Drama Island

The Ultimate Treasure Hunt

Quick Note:
Hey, guys! The chapter's here! It took me forever, but it's here!

So, in other news, I put up a poll that will let you guys decide if you want that audiobook thing I talked about in my copy of this fic on Quotev. I've already started recording the first chapter, just in case, so that It'll be ready for you guys if you decide you want it. The poll will be up for a while, so don't freak out if you want to vote and you're a little late to the party. If you guys wanna be a part of that, you can follow the steps from the note, "Important Decision for Readers!!!!!!", to get to my Quotev account, and the poll itself is titled "You Want an Audiobook".

Then, in other-other news, I just really wanted to thank you guys for actually sticking with me for so long; it really means a lot to me. (I may have cried a little reading some of your comments when this story was just starting out... 😅)

Alrighty, now that all my mushy thankyous are out of the way, I hope you guys enjoy! 😊

=====LAST TIME=====

I'm naturally assuming that Duncan took my gagging as a sign of "no, I'm not okay." I mean, as soon as I did so, he held my shoulder a bit tighter and started guiding me to the door. He didn't say a word. He just started walking. We were outside in no time at all. He helped me stumble my way down the front steps, and he helped me rush to the side of the building.

In short, Duncan got to awkwardly stand next to me while I threw up blended cockroach, and he volunteered to walk me to my shack so I could get cleaned up before we started packing.

I gathered the boys shortly after that, and we made our way to the Dock of Shame. A large boat was waiting for us, and we boarded without a second thought. There was a smile on every face, and we were more than ready for our two days of luxury.

=====NOW=====

===============================================================

Yeah, guys, I know. "Kimi, you skipped another challenge. What gives?" I promise I have a good excuse. Honestly, I'm a little nervous to admit this; I don't even really know if you want to hear about it. But if I'm gonna tell you guys about my time here, then I've gotta tell you everything, right?

So during the last challenge, No Pain No Gain, I had multiple appointments to go to. Remember how, a while back, I'd said "I've been hurt before and leave it at that"? Well, that "hurt" gave me a handful of issues - my not talking being one of them. It took years for me to get where I am today, and things were rough for a while. Of course, I'm doing so much better now than I was back then.

Anyway, I still check in with my therapist occasionally to make sure I'm still on the right track; the other day was just one of those days. I met with him, and then we also went through a special speech therapy that my friends and some of my classmates came to help with. I was away from camp for most of the day, and I completely missed the last challenge.

I was good to help with this week's challenge, though, so, yeah, here we go.

===============================================================

Dragging myself out of bed for that morning, the first thing I did was trudge towards my bathroom. I shuffled towards the mirror, picking up my toothbrush and going to town. I got dressed in the costume of the day, a flowy, cream-colored shirt, a brown corset, navy pants, leather boots that reached my knees, and a red pirate's headband.
