A/N; Okay, I know full well that crazy Sierra is not going to get together with Cameron during this season. But it doesn't mean that they don't belong together. And I don't care what anyone says or if I'm the only one shipping this couple (and have been since the start of the year), they're adorable.
So spoiler Sierra is having a serious breakdown if you don't already know and this is set about half a year on.
Summary: Post TDAS. Sierra had a breakdown on national TV. Now Cameron and Cody talk Sierra, evil Mike and Duncan at a reunion party - but mostly Sierra. Camerra, Gwody and slight Coderra.

Fixing the Fixation
、、、、、、、、、、、、、
So Sierra had been laying low since her breakdown on national television. Not that anyone could blame her. It was the one thing that everyone nicer than Heather refused to talk about - which meant that Heather was the only one at the Total Drama Reunion Party making snide remarks about it.
Cody felt the most guilty about it. He hadn't even been there but she'd gone crazy all because of him. He stood back now, watching her from a distance even though he'd already been trying to cheer her up that night.
"Hey," Cody nodded at the only other guy at the party who was roughly his height.
"Hey Cody," Cameron smiled at him. "What's up?"
"You like her right?"
It took Cameron a second to work out what Cody meant. Sierra, who was moving about the room taking photos of everyone. Really, it seemed like she'd been completely rehibilitated to Cameron. But then again, being in the same room with Cody tonight might just make her relapse. It can't have been good for her.
"We're friends, yeah. Has she um, been harrassing you?" Cameron really felt for what Cody must have had to go through. Sierra could be intense, even though Cody had been right, he did like her.
"No. She's been really weird. Like she doesn't even want to touch me!" Cody admitted. "I don't know if her therapist told her that hugging me would trigger the crazy in her or something. But it's just weird. It's almost like she's avoiding me. She said 'Nice to see you Cody' and then went back to talking to Scott and Courtney!" Cody shrugged, feeling a bit frazzled. "I just don't know what to do for her."
"I'm guessing she just needs time. It can't have been easy for her. Maybe the next reunion party she'll be all better." They could only hope.
"Could you watch out for her for me? I don't know, I just want her to be okay," Cody admitted sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck.
"Sure, I can do that."
"Good. Thanks buddy." Cody said, "Oh and I was really hoping you'd teach Duncan a lesson last season."
Cameron smiled a small smile, "Duncan's not really that bad when you get to know him."
Cody shrugged, "He's pretty bad but I guess your friend evil Mike was worse. Who saw that one coming?"
"I should have. It was up to me to keep Mike's personalities in check. I didn't even consider that there could have been another one. It was really my fault."
"I don't know. I wouldn't beat yourself up over it. How could you have known? He kept it hidden from everybody."
Cameron thought about this. Cody was right, it wasn't as if Mike had given him any warning that season. He wasn't even sure if the agreement to look out for his personalities was still on. "I wouldn't beat yourself up over Sierra either," Cameron said finally. It wasn't Cody's fault she had an obsessive personality. She could have fixated on anyone, it just had happened to be him. Happenstance.
"Yeah, I'll try not to. It kind of messed up my year seeing that on television though. I mean could you imagine? She thought everybody was me! I was never going to hear the end of it."
"Sierra is-" How could he put this delicately? "It's how she copes, I'd assume. By fixating on one person or thing. Like how I cope is to confine myself in small spaces and try to avoid being breathed on by the outside world."
"Oh," Cody replied in realization. "So what you're saying is that you're just as messed up as she is?"
"Well sort of," but not really. "We all have our quirks. I guess mine are just easier to hide."
"Do you think anyone could have a normal relationship with her? I mean with her condition, would she be able to do that?"
Cameron shrugged while considering it. "It depends what you mean by 'normal' but I suppose it's possible. But her fixation would have to be in check and there's always the fear of relapse. It'd probably be risky but possible."
"What about with the object of her fixation?"
"You mean you?" Cameron had never thought that he'd been interested before. Regardless he had to be honest about what he thought. "I don't think it'd be wise for her to be in a relationship with the object of her fixation. The fixation could escalate. Her jealousy of other people could grow unstoppable. I'm sorry Cody. I mean, if she thought she had a chance with you she would definately relapse. She could get more obsessive than ever."
"Then it has to be you," Cody said simply.
"What?" Cameron answered quickly feeling the blood rush to his head. "We're only friends."
"Sure you are," Cody said with a sly smile.
"Why does no one believe me when I say that?" asked Cameron, defeated.
"I don't know. Probably because you guys talk in unison all the time," Cody pointed out. "Just go talk to her. And don't mention me. I guess I'll wait until she's ready to talk to me again."
"She will be. You've just got to give her time."
"Thanks," Cody answered genuinely. "I think I see Gwen alone by the punch bowls. You think she'll give me a shot now she's broken up with Duncan?"
Cameron didn't think so, but he didn't want to crush Cody's spirits. "You won't know until you try."
"Ditto with you and Sierra. Catch up with you later," Cody pointed his finger out like a gun at Cameron and winked at him before making a very hasty exit to flirt with Gwen.
Cameron sighed. Cody had handed the Sierra torch over to him. He supposed he'd better go and see how she was doing.

Cody will be forever flirting with Gwen.
Anyways, does this need another chapter?
