A/N: This idea came to me after I bought a magic 8 ball and me and my friends were asking it a bunch of stupid questions about relationships. I thought it'd be funny to do a story about Courtney coming across all these little signs that her and Duncan were meant to be together, a bunch of little coincidences. So enjoy this slightly fluffy short story.
What A Coincidence
Chapter 1: Magic 8 ball
No TV, no radio, no computer…no fun.
Camp Wawanakwa was by far one of the most boring places on earth after the games and challenges were over. If you were lucky you made friends and got to hang out with them to make time pass, if you were even luckier you were so exhausted by the challenges that you didn't feel like doing anything at all.
But today was a day where a little technology wouldn't be so bad. All the girls were hanging out in the cabins together trying to fight off the boredom. Lindsey was brushing Heather's hair (as Heather had ordered), Izzy was flipping her eyelids inside out, Leshawna was reading a magazine for the third time in a row, Gwen was writing in her journal, and Bridgette and Courtney were sitting next to each other on one of the beds trying to think of something interesting to talk about.
Things remained quiet until Lindsey suddenly gasped and startled them all. "I know what we can do!" Everyone looked at each other doubtfully while the beautiful blonde went on. "We can ask the magic 8 ball questions!"
"You have a magic 8 ball?" asked Gwen furrowing her brow.
"Yeah it's like super informative. Any questions I have it gives me the answer."
Courtney rolled her eyes. The girl was so naïve it was unreal, but asking a stupid magic 8 ball questions sounded better than nothing.
Leshawna was the first to say something. "Uh…why not? It's not like we have anything better to do."
Lindsey clapped her hands happily and ran over to one of her luxury bags. "OK everyone sit in a circle and we'll each take turns asking it questions. Oh this is so exciting!"
"Yeah real thrilling," replied Gwen sarcastically taking her seat.
Izzy got all jittery "Oh my cousin one time asked a magic 8 ball if she would die within the year and it said yes and she was hit by a train a month later."
No one said anything, chances were it wasn't even true, much like Izzy's other stories.
"So who wants to go first," asked Bridgette being nice as always.
"I'd like to know who goes home next," said Courtney cynically.
"Oh I have a good one," said Leshawna smirking at Gwen. Lindsey handed her the magic 8 ball and Leshawna shook it still eyeing Gwen. "Is Gwen in love with Trent?"
Gwen blushed madly and averted her eyes form everyone else. "What? I mean Trent's a great guy and all but I don't-"
"Signs point to yes!" Said Leshawna showing Gwen the answer. Everyone started giggling and going awe as Gwen snatched the magic 8 ball away from Leshawna embarrassed.
"Oh c'mon Gwen," said Courtney. "Everyone can tell you like him."
Gwen lifted one brow and smirked at Courtney. "Well you're one to talk Courtney. Everyone here knows you have it bad for Duncan."
Courtney's heart went into overdrive and her body went tense. "I do not like him!" she said for what must've been the millionth time since being on TDI.
"Let's let the magic 8 ball be the judge of that," said Gwen shaking it. "Magic 8 ball, is Courtney secretly in love with Duncan and wants to jump him."
Bridgette snorted next to Courtney and then looked at her apologetically when Courtney glared at her.
Gwen finally turned the ball over and started snickering. "Without a doubt," she said in a sweet voice.
Courtney scoffed as all the other girls looked at her with laughing eyes. "Please that's just a coincidence, I bet if you asked it again it would come up a completely different answer."
Gwen only smiled and shook it again and asked the same question. Everyone waited eagerly. "Well you did get a little bit of a different answer, this time it just says yes."
Everyone started laughing at Courtney while she snatched the ball away from Gwen and shook it hard. "Do I like Duncan?" she turned it around only to find it saying "Outlook good." she shook it again. "My sources say yes."
By now everyone was really laughing at her. "Give it up girl," giggled Leshawna. "Everyone, even the magic 8 ball, knows you like him."
Courtney shook her head furiously. "No, no, no. This toy just happens to have more 'yes' answers than 'no' answers. Watch." Courtney shook the ball again. "Magic 8 ball do I not like Duncan."
She turned it over hoping for a 'yes'. Instead she got, "Defiantly no." Courtney growled and threw the stupid toy away from her and stormed out.
Leshawna shrugged and picked it up. "OK who wants to know if Heather is the spawn of the Devil?"
"We don't need a Magic 8 Ball to answer that," said Gwen.
They all laughed while Heather shouted. "Shut up!"
A/N: Um...yeah.
