Courtney is walking on the sidewalk.

Courtney (in her mind): "It was fun visiting Bridgette. I'm glad she's still a good friend. I just wish Gwen would be my friend again. I messed up by making that dumb chart. I've wanted to apologize again since All Stars, but have been afraid to do so."

Courtney then soddenly bumps into someone.

Courtney: "Sorry."

Courtney is then shocked at who she sees. The other person is also shocked to see her.

Courtney: "Gwen?"

Gwen: "Courtney?"

Courtney smiles.

Courtney: "It has been a long time since I've seen you. How are you?"

Gwen: "Good, how are you?"

Courtney: "Good."

The two are silent.

Courtney (in her mind): "This is your chance Courtney. Apologize to her."

Courtney's smile disappears.

Courtney: "Gwen, I want to apologize."

Gwen: "I'm listening." Gwen says curiously.

Courtney: "I was wrong to make that chart. I shouldn't have chosen winning over our friendship. I'm sorry."

Gwen: "Courtney, I only came on All Stars to make things right with you. I worked so hard, but you betrayed me with that chart. I would have never betrayed you because our friendship meant more to me than winning."

Courtney: "I feel really bad. I'm sorry Gwen."

Gwen sighs.

Gwen: "It's ok Courtney. I don't hold a grudge."

Courtney: "I owe you another apology."

Gwen is confused.

Gwen: "Oh."

Courtney: "I was very awful unfair and awful to you in World Tour, after your kiss with Duncan was revealed."

Gwen's eyes widen.

Courtney: "Duncan ended things with me before the kiss, but I didn't want to believe we were over. I unfairly called you a boyfriend stealer, and treated you terribly. I'm sorry Gwen."

Gwen is more shocked.

Gwen: "Courtney, I didn't expect you to apologize for this."

Courtney: "I've changed since All Stars. I've become a better person that owns my mistakes."

Gwen: "Courtney, I know I wasn't entirely innocent. I shouldn't have kissed Duncan so soon after your break up and behind your back. I should have told you about the kiss. I also shouldn't have said I did nothing wrong in All Stars. I own that I did some wrong things. However, I didn't deserve most of the blame, and so much horrible treatment."

Courtney frowns.

Courtney: "I know, you didn't deserve most of that. I'm really sorry."

Gwen: "It's ok Courtney. Thank you."

Courtney: "Thank you Gwen." Gwen, can we be friends again?"

Gwen somewhat frowns.

Gwen: "I actually do want us to be friends again, but don't know if I can trust you again."

Courtney: "You have reasons not to, but I am willing to put in the work to earn back your trust.

Gwen: "Really?"

Courtney: "Yes."

Gwen: "Your apologies are genuine. You claim to have changed, and I hope you're being truthful."

Gwen thinks for a moment. Then, she smiles.

Gwen: "Ok, I'll give you another chance."

Courtney smiles and then hugs Gwen. The two then stop hugging after a few seconds.

Courtney: "Thank you so much Gwen."

Gwen: "No problem Courtney. Let's not let boys or winning get in the way of our friendship again."

Courtney: "Absolutely. By the way, are you seeing anyone?"

Gwen: "Nope, I've taken a break from boys since dumping Duncan in All Stars. You?"

Courtney: "Haven't dated anyone since All Stars because I've been focused on my dream to be a lawyer."

Gwen: "How's that going?"

Courtney: "Great, going to start law school in a few months."

Gwen: "That's cool. By the way, do you live around here?"

Courtney: "No, I was visiting Bridgette. I sometimes come here to go on walks."

Gwen: "I live close by. Do you want to come to my house?"

Courtney: "I'd like that."

Gwen: "Come on."

Courtney: "My car is close by. Why don't we drive to your house?"

Gwen: "Sure."

The two friends then proceed to Courtney's car happily.

Notes:

1. My first Courtney and Gwen story post All Stars.

2. I hated that their friendship ended a second time. What was the point in a reconciliation plot if their friendship was just going to end again?
