Courtney IS NOT In this story, If you do not like that she isn't in the story, i am sorry for the inconvenience, but i didnt want her in the story. Have a nice day.

Also, getting a lot of hate comments about the spelling. Comments that point out the spellings is fine, but some are starting to get aggressive and hateful. This story was made over 10 years ago. I dont have time to go back and look at everything and correct spelling. If this is a problem please move on.



It was quiet in Good Will today. My mother an I where in the dress section, her hoping to find a light dress to where for a get together with some old friends. I skimmed threw a few of them not really see anything that would look good on her. Well to be honest, non of them looked good.

"I think it might be a lost cause mom." i called out to her on the other side of the rack.

"You know what . . ." She split threw the dresses making an opening so we could see each other. "I think you might be right." She smiled making me smile. "Well it was worth a try anyway." We started walking over twords the skirt section. As we looked i could see her looking at me every few seconds.

"What?" i asked. Looking threw a few of the skirts.

"I may or may not have . . . seen something in your room." She say's like she got caught taking a cookie from the jar.

"Oh no." i smiled. "Did you find my stash of rare Pokemon cards?" I joked, making her laugh.

"No i didnt. You hid those really well." We laughed again. "I saw . . . the application on your computer. ." My smile faded. "For that new teen show."

"I was just looking into it. Not like they would pick me anyway." I shook my head looking threw the skirts.

"Luna-" Mom tried but thankfully i found something she would like.

"You know that jade green blouse you have?" i asked her. She just looked at me. I held up the black knee high skit, not something i would put on but, it would look good on her. "I think this would look nicer then a dress.

After a moment she smiled again. "See. . . This is why i bring you." We laugh an start walking over to the counter, but i slowed down when something cause my eye. "Whats wrong?" She asked looking back at me.

"Im just going to look at these really fast." i tell her walking over to where the shoes were. There sat a pair of leather knee high boots. They were black with neon blue laces. Picking one up i kicked off one of the shoes i was wearing an put on the boot. It fit perfectly.

"They look nice." Mom says coming up behind me.

"There cool." I say looking down at the one on my foot.

She bent down an picked up both my shoe an the other boot. "Then we should get them."

"Mom we dont have to, i was just looking at them." i try to tell her as she walked off twords the counter. "We dont have to spend any more money."

She ignored me an placed everything on the counter for the kid to scan them. After she gave him her card she turned an smiled at me. "It'll be fine." She takes her card an the bag, saying her thanks before walking twords the door, me fallowing after here with two different shoes on.

-Later-

"I think they would pick you." My mom said watching the road as she spoke. "And if its something you really want to do then I support it."

I sat in the passenger seat playing with a strand of my long black hair Looking down at my new boots that are now on both my feet. My mind flashed to the application that she found on my computer. Its about a new show that they were making, a live action show called, Total Drama Island. If you last you get 100,00 dollars. Something we needed.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt if I just send in a tape." I finally said as we pulled up to our house. "But i still dont think they would pick me."

"Thats the spirit." Mom then got out the car, as I fallowed, and walked into the house.

From there I went up the stairs and in to my room. I put down my gym bag onto my bed and opened my closet. I can't really make the video while in my gym cloths, can I? After looking for only a moment I decided to put on a tight white shirt and a black pair of skinny jeans. I didn't put and shoes back on since they wouldn't be looking at my feet. After making sure my hair isn't all over the place, I opened my desk drawer and pulled out my hand held camera. I set it up on top of the TV so it would see me from the waist up. I took a deep breath and hit record.

"Umm . . . Hello my name is Luna. Ummm . . I'm sending this for an audition for Total Drama Island." I started feeling nerves not knowing what to really say. "I'm 16, and I stay with my mom. I wouldn't say I'm girly. I like keeping up with my workouts. Ummm . . . I don't talk to, to meny people. But if I were to join the show. . ." I thought about my mom. "I wouldn't let anyone get in the way of me and that money." After that I hit stop. I looked in the mirror seeing the dark expression on my face. Taking a deep breath seeing my dark green eyes soften a bit. Once it was done downloading to the computer I hit send.

I changed once again, but now all I'm wearing is a big black t shirt an some shorts. I went down the stairs an sat on the couch next to my mom as she was watching her shows. "Dean dieing again?" i asked as i stole some of her chips, she playfully tries to swat my hand away.

"Yep." She says still looking at the TV.

"Sam?"

She shakes her head. "No this is when he goes to purgatory."

"Ah." i nodded. An that is how we spent our Thursday's. Till we were tiered enough to go to shuffle to our own rooms an sleep.

The next morning I was woken up to my cell phones ring tone filling my room. I picked it up and flipped it open.

"Hello. . . " i say not looking at the caller I'd.

"Yeah hi is this Luna?" A male voice asked.

"Depends on who's asking."

"My name is Chris McClain. The host of Total Drama Island. I'm calling to tell you your in! You'll be picked up in an hour."

I shot up from my bed now fully awake. "I'm what!?"
