Author's Note: Hey guys! These are one shots about couples from Total Drama during and after the show. I'm starting with canon couples only. Comment a pairing and I'll try to use it! Please review; it means a lot to me! I do not own Total Drama!
~Alejandro and Heather~
Alejandro and Heather had a... unique relationship. Many romances stem from mutual denial. However, most couples couldn't get past what they did. Reality TV is enough to wreak havoc on anyone, but it hit these two especially hard. She pushed him off a volcano, he let her go for a chance to win one million dollars. But in the end, she was the only one evil enough for him, and he was the only one she ever cared about in the game.
They spend all of World Tour fighting, flirting, denying, denying, denying. But that kiss on the volcano was incredible for both of them. She was just confused, and scared, and couldn't say no to the money. So her impulses took over. That broke both of their hearts into a million pieces.
At the Playa, they began officially dating for the first time, and it was blissful for both of them. Until Chris had to throw the money in their way yet again, and force them to have to choose between the million or each other.
They were off and on for Total Drama's entire run, but they didn't stay together for good until the producers finally told Chris the show had been stretched too long. It was over. They could all move on with their lives.
But both Alejandro and Heather found out that they didn't want to.
He tracked her down as soon as they went their separate ways. He followed her to college, and wore her denial straight to the ground. He had enough charm to break down even her guards, Heather had to admit.
But she never jumped on the couply, romantic bandwagon. Alejandro did, buying her presents, telling her he loved her, calling her his "amor" despite her indifference. But when he proposed, in Hawaii, on top of the volcano where the World Tour finale went down, Heather didn't even pretend to think about it before she said yes.
And now, as she walks down the aisle in a beautiful, sleek white dress, she doesn't smile. She just stares into those mesmerizing teal eyes and takes a mental snapshot of the transparent love he doesn't try to hide.
Alejandro looks at her, slowly approaching him, and he meets her gaze. Their eyes lock, and he can see the challenge looking back at him. She's asking him if he can handle her, forever, and he sends back a yes that is as clear as day. He has handled her. He's always wanted to be a lion tamer, and he's proven he can tame even the fiercest lioness. He got Heather to admit she loves him, and that is no easy task. Today, she is marrying him, and he knows, despite her protests, she needs him as much as he needs her.
When they finally lean in to kiss, Alejandro and Heather both feel like they're made of fire. But they have always fought fire with fire, and together they burned the whole competition. And today, as they start their permanent allegiance, as they like to joke, they know they can take on the world.
