Mikica's P.O.V

I Was awoke to the sleep i had just fell into kwa a phone ringing. I fell of the kitanda i was in with Duncan. I picked up my phone and answered it.
"Hello is this Mikica au Nikica" The voice asked. It sounded like Ariana's Mom.
"Yes It's Mikica" I alisema walking out of the cabin.
"Ok. I just wanted to tell wewe it's Ariana's funeral tomorrow. I know She would want wewe two there." Ariana's Mom Chocked out.
"Ok will be there." i alisema trying not to cry.
"Bye" She said.
"Bye" I said. I leaned agents the cabin, kibanda and slowly slid down. I tried not to cry i did. But i did. I haven't got past the fact she is gone. I heard a door open, but i didn't care.
"Oh my are wewe ok Mikica." Dj said.
"No" i chocked. He puled me into a hug.
"What's wrong." He asked.
"It's Ariana's funeral tomorrow." I stuttered.
"Oh. I'm so sorry." He said. Duncan came out probably due to the noise. I let go of DJ and Duncan pulled me into a hug. I cried on his shoulder for what seemed like hours. He tried to calm me kwa saying things like: It's going to be ok, I upendo you, everything will be ok etc. But it didn't help. I cried until i couldn't. I sniffled and let go of Duncan.
"Sorry." I alisema barley above a whisper. I walked off to fined Nikica. When i found her she was in a clearing crying with chatu kwa her side. She must have gotten the call as well.
"Hear boy" I said. He nodded and moved. I kneeled inayofuata to her trembling frame. I pulled her into a hug.
"It'll be ok. Remember the dream." I said. After about forty minuets she stopped crying. We both walked back to the main lodge. We both walked out the food. We were the only ones in there besides chef.
"Hey what has my inayopendelewa campers down?" Chef said.
"Tomorrow is are sister Ariana's funeral." Nikica said.
"Oh god. Well I'm sorry for your loss. Help your self to anything in the kitchen." Chef said.
"thank you." I said. He nodded. We decided to make some French toast.
"Do wewe want any French toast?" Nikica asked while i flipped one of the pieces over.
"Sure." He said. I finished two pieces and added two zaidi to the pan. When we were all done eating i was about to do the dishes when chef said. "Mikica wewe don't have to do the dishes."
"I know but i made the mess."
"Still, I can do that."
"Ok." I alisema not wanting to fight with chef. After talking to chef for a while we decided to go.
"Nikica I'm going to take a shower." I said.
"Ok" she said. I went to get my pajamas. Witch was of Duncan's shirts and some short short's. I walked to the bathroom and got in the warm shower.

Third person P.O.V
Mikica walked into the girls side of the bathroom. Not knowing some one was out to embarrass her. She also didn't know that it wasn't heather who dyed her hair. Cortney walked in the girls restroom. With an evil plan on her mind. She the walked out with Mikica's clothes, only leaving her with her bra and underwear. What a cruel thing to do isn't it. I hope she wont be to embarrassed.

Mikica's P.O.V
I was in the kuoga and two my surprise the hair dye came out leaving me with my old hair colors. Neon green, Black, Midnight blue and dark purple. When i was done i put on my bra and underwear. I blow dried my hair and brushed my hair. Then it dawned on me. Some one had taken my Pj's. Oh my god i thought. I looked around for my towel. But that was gone to. I knew i should have brought my phone. I decided to try and scream, maybe someone would hear it. But i couldn't. I then realized that this was some ones doing. I was filled with rage. I decided to sprint to the girls cabin, kibanda and grab my clothes. That's exactly what i did. Kind of. I ran through the woods. When i final got to my cabin, kibanda Cortney was on the floor laughing. I grabbed her kwa the hair.
"You did this didn't you." i alisema through my teeth.
"Maybe" She alisema smirking.
"And wewe also dyed my hair, didn't you." I alisema again through my teeth. All she did was smirk. I'm getting payback i though. I tightened my grip on her hair.
"Hey Nikica lets tech the bitch, kahaba a lesson. Juvie style." I alisema not even caring i was only in a bra and underwear. She opened the door and i threw her off the porch. She got back up.
"That's a mistake." I said. No one but Nikica new i took four au five classes of karate with Ariana. I jumped off the porch. I kicked her like i learned in karate. She was done. I then proceeded to get my Pj's on.

Duncan's P.O.V
I heard a crash. I got up to see what it was. I saw what i thought i would only see in my dreams. I saw Mikica in only her bra and underwear. I smirked and stared. Her and Cortney are fighting. Mikica was kicking Cortney's ass. When Cortney got up Mikica kicked her and she was down. Dang if i ever kuvuka, msalaba her i better watch out. She disappeared into the girls side of the cabin. After a few minuets she came out in shorts and my shirt.
"Hey." I alisema walking over to her.
"Hi" She said.
"I see wewe got your hair back." I said.
"Yea." She said. She still seems down.
"Do wewe want to do something?" I ask.
"Sure, but what." she said.
"Watch a movie." I suggest.
"Sure." She said. We decided to watch saw on Mikica's laptop. We had Monsters and Candy to keep us awake. At one point during the movie Mikica jumped slightly and hid her face in my chest. When the movie ended i looked down to see that Mikica had fallen asleep. I shut off her laptop and fell into a peaceful sleep.

*Next day*

Nikica's P.O.V
I woak early do to the funeral. I had told Chris that Mikica and i wanted to attend and he is letting us. I cant believe she is gone. DJ and Duncan are coming with us because we figure that Arianna would have wanted to meet are boyfriends. When i finished getting dresses and putting on my makeup i walked to the guys side of the cabin, kibanda I knocked on the door. DJ opened the door. He gave me a weak smile which i returned.
"Hey how are you?" DJ asked.
"I'm ok." I said.
"You look nice." DJ alisema moving aside letting me in.
"Thank you. wewe look nice too." I alisema walking in. I saw Duncan sitting on his bed.
"Hey where's Mikica?" I ask.
"She went to change." Duncan said. Like magic Mikica came through the door.
"Can someone zip me up?" She asked.
"Sure." Duncan alisema walking over and zipped her dress up. I think we looked ok for going to a funeral. The boy looked handsome. Apparently they both had brought suits.
"You guys ready." DJ said.
"As ready as we could ever be." Mikica and i alisema in unison. Mikica grabbed chatu and put his leash on. We walked to the dock were a mashua would take us back to where we live, then a car would pick us up and take us to the funeral. Mikica looked sad. I'm sure i do to. Are little sister is gone. I bit my lip to stop the tears that threatened to fall. DJ must have noticed he pulled me into a hug. I hugged back apprehensively.
"At least she's in a better place." DJ whispered in my ear.
"Yea." I whispered back.
After what only felt like sekunde we were at the dock. We all silently got into the car that was there waiting for us. When the car stopped we all got out. There were many people. Most were related to Ariana. It was so sweet knowing that she had so many people hear hat cared about her. I saw her mom. She looked as tho she had cried a river. But i mean who wouldn't, Ariana is one of the most sweetest people wewe could ever meet.
"Mikica" I alisema in a shaky voice.
"Yea Nikica." She alisema also with shaky voice.
"Do wewe wanna go kwa Ariana's mom?" I asked.
"Sure." She replied.

Mikica's P.O.V

I woak up earlier than unseal. I think it was like six thirty. I grabbed my clothing and went two the girls bathroom. With chatu following me of cores, I wish Ariana was still alive. I slipped out of my pajamas. I pulled my dress on. I sighted when i realized i couldn't zip it. Ugh i hate dresses, but, it would seem rude at a funeral to wear skinny jeans and a shirt. I started to do my makeup. I put on some light eyeliner and black lip-gloss. I then did my hair leaving it's natural wave. When i was done walked back to the guys side of the cabin, kibanda slowly thinking about Ariana. I thought about all the fun times we had together. All the times we cried, smiled, laughed ect. Ariana, Nikica and I were inseparable. We pretty much did everything together. I sighed a sad sigh. When i was close to the cabin, kibanda i could hear Nikica say.
"Where's Mikica"
"She went to change." I heard Duncan say.
I walked in to the cabin.
"Can someone zip me up?" I asked.
"Sure." Duncan said.
He came over and zipped my dress up. Which reminded me of this ne time me and Ariana were dressing up.

*flash back*

I was having a sleepover at Ariana's. Nikica would have been there but she was sick. I felt bad, we had been planning this sleepover for a few weeks. So to make me eel better Ariana decided that we would do makeovers. Ariana did my makeup and hair. She then handed me a dress and said.
"Hear put this on. It should fit you." She alisema with a grin.
I slipped the dress over my head carefully so i didn't mess up her hair. I tried to zip the dress but i couldn't. I walked out of the bathroom and asked.
"Can wewe zip me up?" I asked.
"Sure." Ariana said.

*End of flash back*

"You look handsome." I alisema to Duncan. He was wearing a black suit, which he looked really good in.
"Thanks gorgeous." Duncan said.
We started walking to the dock where the mashua will pick us up. When we got on the mashua i looked over to Nikica. She looked as tho she was going to cry. Dj pulled her into a hug. I mentally awed. Ariana would have upendo to me him and Duncan. She would be happy that we found someone. After what I swear was only a few sekunde we were where used to live. I sighed. We got off and got in the car that was waiting for us. When we were a in i rested my head on Duncan's shoulder. He the rested his head on mine. When we got there, there were many people there. i saw some i recognized. I saw Ariana's mom and dad and some of Ariana's cosines. I then head Nikica say.
"Mikica" she alisema in a shaky voice.
"Yea Nikica." I alisema also with shaky voice.
"Do wewe wanna go kwa Ariana's mom?" She asked.
"Sure." I replied.
We walked over To were her mom sat.
"Hi Tracy." I said. Then chatu barked meaning hi.
"Hi girls and python. Thank wewe for coming." She said.
"No problem, we wouldn't miss it." Nikica.
"So who are these gentlemen." She said.
"This is Duncan, my boyfriend." I said.
"This is DJ my boyfriend." Nikica said.
"Nice to meet you." Duncan alisema as he shock Tracy's hand.

Duncan's P.O.V
It felt weird being at a strangers funeral. But i am hear for Mikica.
"Mikica" Nikica alisema in a shaky voice.
"Yea Nikica." Mikica alisema also with shaky voice.
"Do wewe wanna go kwa Ariana's mom?" Nikica asked.
"Sure." Mikica replied.
We walked over To were her mom sat.
"Hi Tracy." Mikica said. chatu also barked.
"Hi girls. Thank wewe for coming." She said.
"No problem, we wouldn't miss it." Nikica said.
"So who are these gentlemen." She said.
"This is Duncan, my boyfriend." Mikica said.
"This is DJ my boyfriend." Nikica said.
"Nice to meet you." I alisema as I shock Tracy's hand.

The girls talked to Tracy for a while longer until the ceremony thing started. Mikica and Nikica both got to say something.

Mikica's P.O.V

I got up to say something. Along with Nikica. chatu wanted to come up to so i let him.

"Um.. I would just like to say that Ariana and i were like sisters. We were sister. There is no siku in this au any life time that i wont miss her. But i know that she wouldn't want us to mope around, she would want us to be happy. To songesha on and live the rest of are lives to the fullest. " I say letting a tear slip down my face.

After everyone very close to Ariana got to speck we went back to talking. Then i saw some people i thought i wouldn't have to see again. I almost chocked on my own spit when i saw them. I didn't know weather to run au hide.
"Um wewe ready to-" I alisema being cut off.
"Miranda" My step dad growled.
"So wewe ready to go?" I asked the guys.

I think i should have replied to my step dad calling me. I felt a sharp pain in my wrist. I pulled through the pain and flipped him. I used all my weight and rested my foot on his chest. I saw my mom and sisters coming. I handed Nikica python's leash.
"Run." I alisema to the others. Which most of them did aside from Duncan.
"Are wewe ok, and, who is he?" He asked.

As if on point my mom and sisters were hear. These are the time i truly believe god hates me.
"Miranda." My mom growled.
"Mother that is not my name." I growled.
"Yes it is." She retorted.
"No. Not legally." I growled back.
"It is the name wewe were give." She replied.
"Well i gave myself a new one. Now what do wewe want." I said.
"You are coming home." She said.
"No, I'm not." I state.

I felt a sharp pain in my check. My mom slapped me. Well i can kinda see that. But the thing that shocked me is that my own sisters stood there watching, not even saying a thing. Well i guess water might be thicker than blood in this case. I let a chuckle escape my lips. She thinks that hurt. She should know i have a great pain tolerance, since what happened with rich.

"You are coming nyumbani and that's that." My mom said.
"And who are wewe to decide." Duncan sneered at my so called "mother".
"I am her mom." She said.
"Oh so your the mom who kicked out her daughter for having fun and being herself." Duncan alisema defending me.
"And who are wewe to tell me off." she said.
"I am Mikica's boyfriend." Duncan said.
"Oh so little Miranda found someone to fuck her. I all ways knew wewe were a slut." She said.

I think i would have cried if i had anymore water in my body. But i have heard worse. I stayed silent not knowing what so say.

"You know wewe are a bitch. What mother in there right mind would call there daughter a slut." Duncan said.

"Come on lets go." Duncan whispered. I nodded and walked way.

When we got to the car i whispered "Thank you." to Duncan.

"no problem gorgeous." Duncan said.

I smiled and kissed his check.

"So who was that?" DJ asked.

"It was my dearest family." I said. Hint the sarcasm.

"Oh." Dj said.

"Yep" I replied.

I looked out the window of the limo to see my mom yelling at my sisters and step dad. It almost made me feel sorry. Almost. I rested my head on Duncan's shoulder as we started the long ride back to camp Wawanakwa. Oh how fun! I thought with a hint of sacrum.

~Time skip~

For most of the ride we were almost completely silent. But as of know we are talking.

"So what did your parents want?" Nikica asked.

"Oh wewe know, the usual, trying to force me to songesha back to the hell house and calling me a slut." I said.

"Again." Nikica said.

Oh did i forget to mention they tried getting me to songesha back in. They did this when they found out they could get money if i lived with them. The lasts time it got ugly. I ended up with a broken wrist. Nikica ended up with some bruises and deep scratches. Nikica told me that we should press charges. We were about to until we found out that if we did we could both be put back in JDC, on account we fought back.

"What! wewe had to deal with that before." DJ said.

"Yea, but last time Mikica ended up with a broken wrist." Nikica said.

"Yea it almost ended my possible dance career." I added.

"What the hell is wrong with your family?" Duncan asked.

"Manny things." I said.

"Why didn't wewe press charges?" Duncan asked.

"Well i told her she should. But if she did we have been sent back to JDC." Nikica answered.

"Why?" DJ and Duncan asked.

"Cause we fought back," I said.

"Were almost to the dock." The driver said.

"Ok." i said.

A rush of tiredness came over me.

"We are here." The driver said.

We all got out of the car and stood on the dock a waiting the mashua to pick us up. I pulled out my phone to check the time. The clock on my phone read 10:59. I yawned slightly. I nodded off but when i woak up i saw the boat.

~Time skip~

I guess i fell asleep on Duncan's shoulder when we were on the boat. We all walked to are cabins. I slipped on my pajamas, all the boys but Duncan and DJ were asleep. DJ and Nikica are together so i know i don't have to worry about DJ looking at me changing. After i was done changing i slipped into bed.

Hi everyone, this is my shabiki fiction. Please shabiki it if wewe like it and if not maoni and we'll see if I can fix it. Just one last thing. There's language and some violence in this story.

Enjoy!

Gwen's p.o.v

I walked to school with tears down my eyes. I had another argument with my mother. I loved her but she always made me do things I hate doing like going to school. She didn't know the pain I went through every time I walk through those large doors. I was teased about my fashion statement.
I was bullied about the fact that I was smart but
not pretty or...

Ok, I just felt like doing this but please, no mean maoni saying things like "She's a B****!" au "How dare wewe say that about her!", I don't want that! This is just something to do with my time.
Thanks

-----------------------------------------------------
So Courtney wasn't my inayopendelewa in Total Drama but I can see why people like her so much, She reminds me of Justin Beiber, wewe ether upendo him/her but a majority of the fan-base loves him/her.

She was great with Duncan but now that their broken up I don't see why everyone wants her to be with Trent now that Duncan's with Gwen.

There's not much zaidi for me to say about her, I do hope she gets far in TDAS because, well, She kind of deserves to get far, but I have a feeling she will...

"Morning, Gwen!" She smiled.

I yawned. "Morning, Courtney." All of a sudden, there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get!" Courtney ran to the door and opened it.

"Who is it", I asked.

Courtney slammed the door. "No one."

"Oh." I got out of kitanda and headed for the door to the bathroom down the hall to take a shower. After I came back, I got dressed. "I'll see wewe in class."

"Okay."

I then walked out. As soon as I did, I bumped into someone. I realized it was Duncan. "Hey", I smiled.
