"Now get moving!" Chris calls and blows the horn on the megaphone.

I grab a set light and I starts booking it up the hill.

As I start running up the hill I look down to my leg and I see the brace.

I hope I don't have to wear this thing for the rest of my life.

"Nice to see you're back." I hear Duncan behind me, who is also caring a set light.

"Nice to know that you still care about me." I say to him with a smirk on my face.

"What do you mean?" He asks while looking to the side.

"I was backstage at one of my interviews and The first episode of Total Drama Action just seemed to be playing. You seemed really concerned I wasn't there." I say as I set the light down at the top of the hill.

"Yeah well, it's hard not to care about someone who has been the only thing you can think about." He says while rubbing the back of his neck and smiling sheeply.

My face fills with shock as I stop dead in my tracks and I turn around.

"Really?" I ask with a smile.

He smiles.

I just about to run up and hug him, but he turns around and catches Gwen who almost fell, and he smiles at her.

My face now turns to anger.

"What's going on between you too!?" Trent comes out of no where.

"Uhh, we're on the same team." Duncan says while rolling him eyes.

I go to strangle him, but so trip and I almost hit the ground, but Trent catches me.

I look up at Trent and I give him a "play along look."

"Teams don't matter when it comes to true love," I say as I kiss Trent.

I pull away and I can see the anger on both Duncan and Gwen's faces.

"See you later Trent,"I say as I wave to him and I walk down the hill.

//No I don't really love Trent, we are friends. I just did that to make Duncan jealous, because apparently he likes to play that game//

I reach the bottom of the hill and I grab the makeup suitcase.

This thing is heavier than I expected.

I turn around and I run into Trent again.

"Look Trent, I don't really love you, I did that to make Duncan and Gwen jealous. If Gwen gets jealous, she will start crawling back to you. I'm just lookin out for you, and I'm trying to get her away from Duncan." I explain to him.

"I know, I know. You know I liked you back at the Island, but then I realized Gwen was a better fit for me. anyways,thanks for helping me." He smiles as he grabs his teams makeup suitcase as well.

"Anytime, a musician has to look out for their fellow musician."I laugh.

"We'll have fun at the elimination ceremony." He smirks before he tried to run off, but I stick my leg out in time to trip him.

"Not so fast guitar boy." I laughs I run past him.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Come on DJ! just pull the fucking trailer!" I yell at him as DJ just stands there, protesting to pull the trailer.

The Grips already got Owen pulling their trailer up the hill like a horse.

Trent begins to shout words down towards Gwen and Duncan, but I couldn't make out any of them besides "emo punk wannabes"

Not cool Trent. Not cool.

Everyone gasps.

"Okay, I guess we are trailerless and if we lose the challenge, we know EXACTLY who is going home." Heather spits towards DJ.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

We begin to set up the set on the top if the hill.

The next part of the challenge is too build your set, pick an actor to act out a scene to make Chef show emotion.

"Oh come one Duncan, this role is perfect for you." Gwen says while holding the envelope.

"I don't even know if I can act." Duncan shrugs while carving into a wooden post.

"Just be yourself, you are already a few steps from being a gangleader." I say as I toss a rope over a lever and pulled up a light.

"How about we have Syler do it, she was well acting when she had to play as Nichola." Duncan smirks and crosses his arms.

"How about you 'acting' that you loved me when you really had feelings for Courtney back in season one!" I growl as I let go of the rope.

"Oh, how about your 'acting' with Trent down the hill." He protests.

"You think it was acting. You're cute." I scoff at him.

"Just get your pretty little face in front of the camera and win!" Heather yells as she hangs upside down

"I'm not cute, nor am I pretty. Last person who called me pretty ended up being a little less pretty." Duncan says while getting inches from my face, but I don't budge.

"You're not pretty. You're hot, sexy! smokin!" Gwen says as she steps between us.

"We get it." I snap at her.

"Now that's more like it, okay, I will do the acting." Duncan smiles as he sits down in a make up chair.

DJ walks up to him with the make up suitcase.

"This lighting is horrible! If only we had a proper lighting trailer!" DJ complains.

We all gasp

"I mean, tilt your chin up just a smudge." DJ awkwardly smiles.

"THATS IT!" Chef yells before he yanks DJ away.

"Times almost up team!" Chris calls through his megaphone.

"Here I'll finish it." I say as I take a seat in front of Duncan and I grab the power piffle.

"I know you can't stay away from me." He smirks.

"Shut up and hold your breathe so you don't suffocate." I say as I finish up his make up for the camera.

I push him towards Gwen and Leshawna who suits him up for his acting.

"In 3...2...1" Chris calls out and Duncan begins acting.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

During Duncan's performance, I begin to tear up a little bit.

Chef begins to blubber.

"That's was beautiful." Leshawna says while blowing her nose.

"Ok, cut, Gaffers win." Chris says while wiping a tear away.

We all start cheering and Harold tries to hug me.

"Don't even think about it." I say as I push him away and I wipe a tear away, trying not to mess up my eyeliner.

We all begin to walk back down the hill to the trailers as the Grips go to elimination.

We reach the trailers and I hook up my phone to the speakers and I start blasting I Feel Like Dancin by All Time Low.

I see Gwen walk out of the trailer and I continue watching her walk out towards Trent.

"Now that's more like it." I say smiling to myself.
