Idk - I love Teen Titans but I've never seen Adventure Time! Yes it is and trust me, I know! The little babies were adorable but there was this one monkey that was bigger than all the others and kept on chasing people around. I saw it try jumping on this one girl and she whacked it with an umbrella and ran away!
OfficiallyWhelmedSpitfire - Uh, actually I did mean keeling haha! It means to collapse or to kind of bend over. So like if someone punched you in the stomach, you would keel over. Thank you so much though!
Jacky 99- I'm not sure I know what you mean! Do you mean follow you or...? Sorry, I just didn't quite get it!
Awesome person - I have no idea what that is!
Guest - Hehe it may not have been the romantic kiss you were looking for!
Gogurl - You may be onto something there but trust me, there's more to Really? than you'd think :)
Jazzy411 - Oh good, I wouldn't want to give you some nickname that you absolutely despise! Out of your entire list, I only really recognized Rugrats and Hey Arnold (only by name though haha) and omg that's so sad when I think about it because I'm a 90's kid... And finally, thanks, here's a chapter!
Artemis Raven Courtney - A lot of people have guessed that but there's a whole other subplot that I haven't even introduced yet so you may be right, you may be wrong ;) we'll just have to see! Keep in mind we're only on chapter 6! I love Teen Titans! Beast Boy is my fave and I love him with either Terra or Raven!
iceandfire105 - AHHHHHH! I wanted to yell with you:3 And I read the Percy Jackson books so long ago but none of the related books! I didn't enjoy the movies as much though; I didn't feel like they portrayed the characters right and it was such an amazing series that could have been done a little better.
SideshowJazz1 - Ugh, I know what you mean. I change fandoms so much it's crazy! One second I'm shipping one couple and the next I'm ranting about a character death! I try to keep focused at one at a time so I don't lose inspiration for one of my fics. Thanks! There's always tension with Court and Duncan!
Curcle - Haha thanks, what lightens the mood more than potty humour? I love TT too! Along with some of my other readers too. I agree completely with that one. I read one fic where Raven 'dies' but is actually only under a spell thing and even though I think it's discontinued, it's still my favorite Teen Titans fic :)
Gia Lara - well here's a new chapter and I think everyone in this archive loves TT because almost every review mentioned that show! What do you think about the new show, Teen Titans Go?
ONE MORE REVIEW TILL 50! I'VE NEVER BEEN CLOSE TO 50 BEFORE! Honestly, my first FF had 3 reviews. Three. Having 49 reviews on it's own is crazy but knowing that this story isn't even half over and I'm one away from 50 is... extraordinary :)
My eyes snapped open when I realized what was happening. I shoved Duncan away and before he could even say "What?" my hand had slapped him across the cheek, leaving a bright red mark in the shape of my hand.
"Don't kiss me, you pig!" I screeched and leapt to my feet, forgetting about the broken ankle I had five seconds ago. Okay, maybe I was exaggerating a little but it doesn't matter anymore! "I can't believe you would try something like that after all of this!"
Duncan scowled and held his palm to the side of his face. There were even some small scratches that my nails had made when they came in contact with his skin. "I didn't kiss you Princess, you kissed me and you know it."
I huffed and crossed my arms, turning away from the punk. "I would do no such thing! I don't want to get caught up in your lies and cheating again!"
Don't even lie Courtney. You totally kissed him and you do want to get caught up in his lies again... among other things. Stupid brain! I didn't kiss him and you - uh, I? - know it!
"I was just standing here, minding my own business and you swooped in like a hawk," Duncan snapped and held up his hands in defense. "I'm the victim in this situation."
...And I'm a hawk? My rage only made my blood boil and if I were a cartoon, steam would come out of my ears. "I. Did. Not. Kiss. You."
"Yes. You. Did," Duncan said in the same voice as he took a step forward, getting into my face. If I were the same Courtney that I was fifteen seconds ago, I probably would have leaned in and kissed him again. But a lot has changed in those fifteen - eighteen now - seconds and I've grown as a woman. I would never let my lips touch that cheating pigs ever again!
"You know," Duncan said slyly. "This reminds me of a time when a certain somebody cuddled up to me on Total Drama Island."
My eyes widened as I was sent into a flashback.
My eyes blinked open only to see I was lying on some kind of soft black cloth. Really soft and comfortable black cloth... I was too drowsy to figure out that this 'cloth' was actually a person. It took me a second to make out the white blob on the cloth and my entire heart sunk when I figured out it was a skull. And only one person on this island wears a black and white skull shirt.
"Morning sunshine," a voice said and I looked up to see those vile blue eyes.
I was cuddling up to Duncan.
I pushed myself away from him. "Oh my gosh, ew! You were cuddling me!" I yelped and got to my feet. He still had that easy going look on his face as he pulled himself up into a seated position.
"I was calmly lying on my back and trying to catch a few Z's. You were snuggling up to me," he smirked back and I felt my stomach churn. He was right but I wouldn't ever let him know that! Especially since we were on TV.
"You are such an ogre," I spat.
Duncan lay back down, probably to 'catch a few more Z's.' "I've been called worse."
"Hello? You still in there, babe?" Duncan asked and I blinked a few times to rid myself of the horrible-y fantastic memory. "Did you hear what I said?"
"Huh?" I blinked.
"I said this reminded me of the time you snuggled up to me on TDI and kept on denying it even though we both knew it was you." He laughed out loud and I put on my best non-caring face.
"Funny. I don't remember anything like that," I said, turning my head away from him. "Anyway, let's just keep moving and if you ever try kissing me again, you're going to have to pay the ultimate price."
Duncan made a fake scared face. "Ooh, I'm shaking! What could you ever possibly do to me?" he asked sarcastically as I started walking away.
"I don't know, I'm sure all of your little friends would live to read those love poems you sent me." I glanced back to see one of Duncan's eyes were twitching and his arms were tensed, making his hands flex. "Or maybe hear about the flowers you picked for my mom. I bet they'd love the part where you played golf with my dad wearing one of his pink sweater vests."
"Okay, okay, you win!" Duncan held up his hands in surrender. "I won't let you kiss me again but please don't tell anyone about those stuff! That's between you and me!"
"Good." I smirked, crossing my arms in satisfaction. "It was a pleasure doing business with you."
"Is that what you call business?" Duncan huffed. "That's what I call blackmail."
"Whatever, let's just start walking again," I rolled my eyes and started walking. After about five minutes after the rush of kissing him wore off, my ankle started to hurt again. But I was a C.I.T and I could handle a little pain.
Actually, scratch that. I lasted about another ten steps before collapsed on a big gray rock with a large X scratched on it. Probably from Duncan and his need to violate every abiotic thing on this planet. "Ugh, my ankle is killing me!"
"Well I'm not checking it out. You'll probably try and kiss me again and we cannot have that," Duncan said, winking.
"Please. You're still not my type," I responded.
"That's why you dated, kissed me, got a matching tattoo with me, whispered dirty things in my ear...right?" Duncan smirked and I scowled.
"Sweater vest, Duncan. Just keep reminding yourself that whenever you open your mouth."
Duncan paled and I smiled happily. Ah, there's nothing like causing Duncan more emotional stress. "Just let me catch my breath and we can keep on going. I might need to stop every so often because of my broken-"
"Twisted."
"-ankle," I finished, flashing a glare at Duncan. I moved my ankle a few times without any striking pain hitting me so I figured I could walk a little further. "Okay, let's go."
It went on like that for two more hours and we hadn't even cleared half of the island yet. I even tried hopping a bit but with the rocks, I just ended up falling and twisting my other ankle even worse than the first. By then, I was literally crawling on the ground, refusing to give up. I am Courtney and I do not give up.
"Okay, that's it." I heard from behind me before I felt my entire body being lifted off the ground.
"Duncan, what are you doing?" I hissed, slapping Duncan's chest. He was carrying me bridal style and as much as it was a relief on my ankles, I didn't want to give either of us any ideas. Sometimes I can't control where my lips go and Duncan... well, nobody can control that guy.
"We're moving at a snails pace. If you weren't so stubborn, we would have made it all the way around the island by now and if I keep letting you drag yourself on like that, we'll get back to camp by tomorrow morning. So don't argue, just let me carry you," Duncan explained and I sighed.
"Duncan, I can list a thousand reasons why you shouldn't carry me. First, I'm way too heavy to be carried for-"
Duncan dropped me. I landed roughly on my butt and even though it hurt, my pride was more wounded. I guess I actually was too heavy for him to carry me. He knelt down so we were eye level and I expected him to give me a sheepish grin and say, "Oops." But of course, Duncan just had to surprise me.
"If you ever say that again, I'm going to drop you in the lake. Do not call yourself fat because you aren't. You're beautiful and I'm so sick of seeing girls walk around, thinking horribly about themselves because one stupid person called them a name. Got it, Princess?" I nodded slowly and he cracked a grin. "Good."
Duncan picked me up again and I didn't say another word for another twenty minutes. I didn't want to bruise my butt any more than it already was.
I had to finally break my silence when I spotted something bobbing at the shore, It looked a rectangular box of some kind but I couldn't see from so far away and I lost my contacts a few days ago. When I say a few days ago, I mean yesterday when I cried myself to death in the forest. "What's that?" I pointed to the box.
"One sec, I'll check," Duncan said, carefully setting me down on a nearby log. That log just so happened to be a pine tree too so just when I started to think Duncan was becoming a decent human being, I get pines in my butt. This day is completely ruining me.
I watched as Duncan jogged to the shore, tripping once over a rock but picking himself up again, and fishing the box out of the water using a piece of driftwood. He didn't even open to box until he came back to me and I could see it was a plastic box. He pried off the lid to see that inside of it was..
...A book?
Okay, something fishy is definitely going on here. And it wasn't just a book, it was my all time favorite book. Purgatorio by Dante. Sure, it wasn't in my favorite translation of the ancient Italian book but it was still Purgatorio! This was just too strange to be coincidence. When I looked up, I could see Duncan wearing the same confused expression on his face.
"This is too weird. I've been thinking about this for a few days but I think I've figured out why we're getting all this weird stuff, Courtney." I knew it was serious when he used my actual name. "I don't think we're alone on this island."
Dun, dun, DUUUUUUN! Kind of...
Okay, so I've started to get a lot of good guesses on why all this weird stuff has been happening and a lot of you are getting pretty close but not EXACTLY what is going on. There's actually a subplot UNDER the subplot that will add a little twist at the end.
Anyway, this chapter was kind of a filler and I just added the last part in because why the hell not. There were a few important parts in it but compared to the other chapters, it's just to add a little to Duncan and Courtney's relationship :3
Oh, btw, I am FEMALE! To all those people who don't know a lot about American serial killers, my name's not actually Jeffrey.
