*Damien*
You sighed, content in your tree house. Your bed was roomy and comfortable, and sweet summer air blew in through the second story bedroom window. Chris had this built for you years ago, on your first visit to Wawanakwa. It was two stories, built for one, with a ladder that led to the second story bedroom and the walkway to the front door was white oak, lit by antique lanterns.
A small desk sat with a few papers and a picture of your mom sitting on the refinished mahogany. You laid starring at the picture of your mom, missing her a little. A knock on the front door alerted you. You jumped jp and jumped the staircase entirely.
When you peaked through the door and found Gwen gazing back at you. "Oh, hey Gwen." Gwen was gaping at the enormous 2 story tree house.
"Is this place yours?" Gwen asked. "Yeah, it is. Come on in." You opened the door wide and let Gwen into the small living room, furnished with a few chairs and a coffee table. "Drink?" You offered. "If you have any yes please." You went to the minifridge in the the kitchen, which took up the other half of the bottom floor, separated by a bar. "I can make root beer floats." Gwen sat at the bar and observed your wall of drinks. "Sure, sounds good." You began making a float for Gwen and grabbed a can of ultra gold monster for yourself before sliding the float over the counter to Gwen.
Gwen took a sip still looking around. "Wow, you have a lot of stuff here man." You shook your head and cracked open your can. "Not really, one or two of everything maybe. My ingredient wall is the biggest collection I have." Gwen looked at you. "Why so many?" You chuckled a little. "I make all my things from scratch. Drinks, foods, herbs, spices. All of them are homemade." Gwen looked at her drink then the glass bottle you poured it from. "Even the root beer?" You nodded. "Even your root beer." Gwen took another sip. "You've got quite the setup here." You nodded. "Please keep this a secret, I'd rather not have a lot of people know where my place is." Gwen nodded vigorously. "I can do that for a friend." You smiled. "Thanks. This place is open to you whenever you need a bit of time to yourself. Just don't get followed. There's food in the minifridge and in the bar cupboards." Gwen's eyes widened. "Really? Thanks Apollo! I'll knock every time before I come in, promise."
"Apollo? You home?" Chris' voice rang loud and clear from behind the front door. "Come on in Chris!" You shouted back. Chris came inside and sat at the bar next to Gwen. "Hey there Gwen." Chris greeted Gwen politely. "Hey there Chris." Gwen sat and sipped her root beer. "Apollo, challenge time." Oh no.. Chris had warned you. Talent show. Great.. Not. "Do I have to?" You asked dejectedly. "Yes. Yes you do." You sighed. "Lead the way, I suppose. C'mon Gwen, we can come back tonight." Chris' looked at you funny. "It's not like that Chris." You said flat but stern.
Chris led you to an outdoor amphitheater about 15 minutes from your treehouse. You shifted uncomfortably on your feet. Fidgety, you sat next to Gwen and DJ on the bleachers. Chris got onstage to announce the challenge.
"Welcome to the new, state of the art TDI outdoor amphitheater, and the first, Total Drama talent show! Each team will have 8 hours to pick 3 people to represent them in the talent contest . The team who loses will send someone home."
The teams split and went to their cabins to rehearse and choose their 3. Gwen walked beside you on the way. "Are you going to rehearse?" She asked, half paying attention. "Probably not, you?" Gwen shook her head. "Nah. But I think you should. I hear you humming all the time. Why not sing?" You thought for a moment. "I only really know sad songs." Gwen shrugged. "So? Sing one anyway, you could be the winning talent for your team." You shrugged back. "Maybe. I'll try. I doubt they'll pick me though"
Gwen and you split at the cabins to your teams. When auditions came around you hesitated. Katie and Sadie went first then Tyler. Gwen wandered off with Cody on her heels. Poor Gwen. Cody was mooning hard over her and being obnoxious throughout.
DJ ribbon danced, Bridgette stood on her hands and Harold was going to beatbox but Courtney cut him short. Duncan carved his skull into a tree, Geoff skateboarded, and Courtney played a violin solo. Finally you were up.
Slowly, you took a deep breath and started to sing "It's Okay." By Cavetown. When you finished, you were placed as a backup. You sighed, relieved.
When auditions were finished, your team went back to the stage to wait. A while passed and everyone started pacing bets on Bridgette. Duncan, DJ, and Geoff all bet that Bridgette couldn't stand on her hands for 20 minutes straight. You and Bridgette had bet that she could, with you offering to make drinks either way.
when Bridgette did walk on her hands, her ankle caught on a lighting rig, bringing it down on Courtney and her violin. Courtney got a minor head injury, but her violin had been smashed to splinters. Bridgette apologized profusely but the show was starting and all 6 participants were ushered back stage. Justin went on first and scored hid team a big 6/9 points from chef. DJ went up next, but tripped and tangled himself in his own ribbon scoring a 2/9 for the Bass.
Trent went next and sang a love song that was all to obviously for Gwen, scoring the Gophers another 5 points from Chef. Bridgette went next, puking at the start of her part and oddly scoring 2 points for your team.
Heather went after the stage had been cleaned and decided to read Gwen's diary to the entire viewing audience. and finally it was your turn, standing in for Courtney. You took a deep breath before walking onto stage with a black and brown faded acoustic guitar. Taking another deep breath you began to play "It's Okay" by Cavetown.
When you finished, the others were silent before breaking out into applause, scoring you the final 9 points and the win for the Bass. That night you celebrated and played more music, even joining Trent in backup acoustics for a song he was writing.
You went to bed that night with dreams of the forest.
