Published May 10th 2017 - cause we are still fans and we are still here! Also just a reminder that this is just a prologue and is a heck of a bunch shorter than the regular chapters that take place after this, especially when we get to the World Tour chapters.

It had been 10 years since Total Drama World Tour ended, and life is boring for Heather. After the third season had ended with Alejandro being cripplingly injured- The show continued with new contestants each season with Heather never being apart of the show again.

With her winnings from the the third season she indulged herself, she wasn't heartless, of course she wasn't. She had loved Alejandro no matter what her past self said during the show, she loved him a lot. But she also loved money a lot.

Naivety got the better of her, money while a great thing was not worth anything compared to the guilt. The guilt of Alejandro's bright future being taken away from him due to her selfishness. It had been 10 years and she knows it was an accident, she knows it wasn't at all her fault. But her actions throughout the season had led both of them into that situation, a situation that ruined their futures separately and together.

Heather spent her million distracting herself in luxuries, she had a beautiful apartment and the finest education. But as she gained knowledge she began to understand things she never did before.

In the first year she learnt that money didn't mean half as much as she thought it did. The second year she learnt that the world she had traveled briefly was beautiful and the languages too. The next year she realised she had been avoiding any and all forms of media, refusing to acknowledge her own involvement in it all. During the fourth year she learnt Japanese, the language of sun, her mother had been more proud of her than almost ever before when she discovered Heather was interested in learning the language spoken fluently by one half of her family.

After learning one language it was easier for Heather to learn more, and within the next four years she learnt many more languages. She became fluent in French, Swedish, German and Chinese. She found all the languages beautiful and she found comfort in other countries cultures. She learnt languages of countries she visited but didn't get the chance to explore in her "World Tour" but there was always one language she neglected to learn. But in her ninth year post Total Drama at age 26, the wealthy young adult dived head in and learnt the language that was hardest for her.

Spanish.

Learning phrases and the quirks of the language never ceased to amaze her but also upset her deeply. Gaining the knowledge allowed her to know what Alejandro was saying to her when no one could translate as he was the only one that could speak Spanish on the show. It made her tired heart weep remembering all the times he called out to her, 'mi amor' my love, she was unstable in the two years it took her to fully be satisfied with her knowledge of his language, his language.

By the time she finished her studies she felt like a bit of a Fangirl. Rewatching all of the episodes of the first three seasons. She had faced her fear and acknowledged her past in the show and the many mistakes she made. She was actually quite proud of the progress she had made within herself during the last decade. She was now calmer and less oblivious of the emotions of those around her. And when it was time for the 10 year reunion of the first official cast of Total Drama, she was ready.

She was ready until a drunk driver collided with her car head-on and sent her reeling right back to her first live appearance on Total Drama Action Aftermath Show.

A/N - Hope you enjoyed the prologue! this is my first TD story but I think Heather deserves some more love and I am willing to love her, I know the prologue may be a bit boring and short but I assure you the chapters will get longer as we get into the drama of season 3!

I watched this show as it aired while I was still a wee one and I to this day enjoy it. So with each chapter I shall put a pub date so we know when each chappy came out and how long I have been a fan of this show - for over 8 years. Guess I'm a die hard.

Next Time: TDA Aftermath III: O-wen or Lose (Now it's time to publish the story and rematch the episode "")
