Courtney was currently sleeping in a first class chair. She had turned on the heat function, making sleep come over her very easily. She only woke up because she heard chomping on the opposite side of her.
Cody was currently shoving as much cake as he could. The prize for winning the last challenge was a huge wedding cake, and Cody was about ½ of the way through eating it when he noticed Courtney starting to stir.
"Oh, hey dere Courtney!" Cody greeted, his face still full of food. Courtney giggled at the sight of the ridiculous boy.
"Cody, slow down. You're gonna choke. By the way, you've got a little something right there." Courtney pointed out. She licked her thumb, and wiped the spo where some cake icing was. They suddenly heard a scream come from out the door. They looked out and saw an infuriated Sierra glaring daggers, no, machetes into Courtney face.
A few interns arms appeared and, after a struggle, Sierra slowly disappeared, with her screams fading away.
"Holy crap. Is that what you've had to deal with this entire time!?" Courtney asked the geek.
"You do realize that we've been on the same team this entire time. You should know that she acts like this." Cody told her.
"Sorry. Before the merge, I kind of… ignored you." Courtney told him, pausing before the last part. The last part of her sentence caused an awkward silence.
"Well, that's okay. Even Gwen, who actually talked to me in the first season, kind of ignored me this season." Cody admitted. Once again, this caused an awkward silence.
"Look, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for constantly calling you weak. I'm sorry for ignoring you. I'm sorry you got dragged into this love triangle. You didn't deserve any of that. You're a really nice guy. I'm… I'm sorry." Courtney apologized.
"Hey, it's okay." Cody told her. "That's not your fault. I mean, did you see me in Island? I was an idiot, a weirdo, and most of all, I was a pervert. There was really no reason you should've talked to me. Had I still been the person I was in Island, then it probably would've been safer if you weren't talking to me."
Courtney felt tears well up in her eyes. "I know, but I'm still sorry. It's not okay, I shouldn't have been so mean. I regret doing that." she said. She suddenly felt arms wrap around her, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Cody's head on her shoulder.
"Don't feel sorry. Please, don't." Cody pleaded. As they were having their touching moment, they heard another shriek. They turned, and saw the same girl out there, thrashing around as she was being dragged away.
"YOUR RUINING THE MOMENT SIERRA! THINK OF THE RATINGS!" Chris yelled at the uber fan, throwing his hands up in frustration.
"Oh, so the reason that he kept Sierra away from you was to try to get us to hook up? How ridiculous." Courtney told her, "husband".
"Haha, yeah. Ridiculous." Cody responded.
"I mean, us two? A couple? AHAHAHA!" Courtney said, before bursting out laughing.
"Haha. That's funny." Cody replied weakly. He tapped his fingers, waiting for her to finish.
"Oh, that's funny!" Courtney said, wiping tears from her eyes. Cody sighed. Luckily, Courtney did not notice. Cody turned around after hearing a sound, and saw a figure out the window. This time though, it was not Sierra. It shorter yet broader, obviously a male. Because Owen was gone, and Alejandro was taller, so Cody could only think of one person of who this could be. Confirming his theory, Cody noticed a thin mohawk on the top of the figure.
The sound Cody heard was a growl, showing that Duncan was not happy that Courtney was laughing with Cody. Cody suddenly got an idea.
"Courtney, I have an idea." he told the still laughing girl.
"What?" Courtney asked, who suddenly stopped laughing.
"As you were laughing, I heard Duncan growl outside. He must have been upset that we were happy."
"So? Sorry, not to not appreciate his pain, but why is this important?"
"So, if we're together, he'll be unhappy. We need to fake date." Cody suggested.
"What? Are you trying to make a pass at me?" she asked.
"What? No! If we act like we're dating, he'll get more mad and aggressive, which will cause his elimination." Cody explained.
"Oh. Sure. But!" Courtney added, seeing the brunette get eager. "I'm gonna set some rules, okay?"
"Yeah, I kind of figured that." Cody said.
"First, no kissing. If we actually need to kiss, I will initiate the kiss, okay?"
"Okay."
"Second, this is fake, okay? This is in no circumstances real. Got that?"
"Of course."
"Thirdly, if you try to grope me, I'LL RIP YOUR SPINE OUT OF YOUR BACK AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR-!" Courtney started her threat, before Cody stopped her.
"I'm not gonna do that. I'm not the me from TDI. I'm the cute lovable guy everyone likes from TDWT!" Cody bragged fakingly.
"Ha! Yeah right!" Courtney mocked after chuckling.
"All right, contestants! Gather in the elimination room! Time to start the next challenge!"
"Oh, come on!" Cody complained.
"What?" the loudspeaker responded.
"Wait, this is two-way?" Courtney asked.
"No." Chris rejected over the speaker.
"Whatever, let's head over there." Cody suggested.
As they walked out, Cody realized something. "Hey, if we're supposed to be dating, shouldn't we hold hands?"
"What? Oh yeah. Shoot. Fine, you can hold my hand. But that's it, okay?" Courtney threatened again.
"Okay, okay! Jeez!" Cody defended. When they walked out, Duncan immediately noticed that they were holding hands, and pointed it out.
"Wait, are you guys DATING!?" Duncan yelled out.
"Yeah, so what?" Cody asked.
"Pff. Nothing. I don't care." the punk said, blowin his hair up as if to try to prove his point.
For about the third time in 24 hours, Gwen noticed that Duncan was paying more attention to Cody and Courtney than her. While Gwen was upset that Cody had started dating the CIT, she was more upset with Duncan. She walked away, scoffing at him.
"What? What now?" Duncan said quite offensively.
"Screw off, Duncan." the goth told him.
"Whatever. Girls, am I right?" Duncan asked, nudging Alejandro in the shoulder.
"What do you mean? All girls are precious. Especially you, Courtney." Alejandro tried to charm.
"Screw off, Alejandro. We all know your act. Just cut it out." Courtney told the spanish charmer off.
"Well then, that was quite rude, Belleza. I guess I'll just have to cut it out!" Alejandro said, finally fully revealing his true self.
"All right contestants, let's go!" Chris said, leading them out of the plane.
