Okay so unless you follow me on Tumblr you're going to need some backstory to this story. So the first episode of Total DramaRama dropped on Cartoon Network's app. It's actually SO FREAKING CUTE! Like I was so surprised? So you should go watch that first (it's on YouTube as well). I've posted this head canon that Courtney's parents work a lot and are very absent. One of my followers added that maybe Duncan's mom notices this and volunteers to watch Courtney sometimes. From that this was made. I honestly never thought I would write fan fiction for this new season but gosh, guys the kids are so adorable, I can't take it! Anyways, there's the backstory.


This was NOT what Duncan had in mind.

Courtney had his family wrapped around her little fingers. When his mom said that Courtney was going to come over to play sometimes, he had been confused but figured it could work to his advantage. He could use someone to help be a distraction when he wanted to sneak a cookie or extra time watching TV. He needed a partner in crime. Someone to be on his side. Courtney was a tattle tale, but if she was involved she wouldn't incriminate herself.

Although, nothing was going according to plan. His older brother treated her like the little sister he never had. She even got him to play dolls with her! His baby brother loved her too! She would sing to him when he cried and be such a "good helper" as his mom would say. Even his dad would bounce her on his lap and tell her how cute she was.

Yuck.

"Why is she here again?" Duncan whined while crossing his small arms across his chest.

"Duncan, honey, we talked about this." The blonde woman spoke while she kneeled on the floor so that she could be at the same level as her son.

"But! It's no fair!" He huffed with his large expressive eyes.

"Is this because you don't want to share Courtney with your brothers?" Duncan immediately started to blush and rubbed his cheeks vigorously.

"No!" He exclaimed adamantly. Well maybe that was part of it, but that was besides the point. His mother sighed and put her hands on his shoulders.

"Can I tell you something? Just between you and me?" She offered sweetly.

"Just you and me?" The toddler asked tentatively. She nodded and Duncan brightened at that.

"Courtney's parents work a lot and can't be with her all the time. She doesn't have brothers like you do to play with. It can be very lonely…" Duncan scrunched up his eyebrows. He hadn't thought of that before. He knew that Courtney's babysitter usually picked her up from daycare. Come to think of it, he didn't know what her parents even looked like.

"Oh…" Was all Duncan could say. He didn't really understand. Didn't parents want to be with their kids?

"So, can you please play nice sweetheart?" He shook his head in agreement which earned him a hug and a kiss on the forehead. When he went back to play, he was unsurprised that Courtney was pretending to be the teacher with his brothers as her students. He saw how happy she was and remembered what his mom said. So, instead of causing mayhem he allowed himself to be one of her students. But just this once.
