~*~*~*~*~*DrEaM SeQuEnCe*~*~*~*~*~

While this dream is happening the background music is "When the Day Met The Night" by Panic At The Disco( it plays over and over again, since this scene is so long in dream time)

Courtney is standing on the left side of the terrain her and Duncan are about. Her hair is slightly curled, it is short, just above her shoulders. It blows in the wind as she just silently stares at Duncan. Her face shows how long she has been in the wilderness, she has mud stains, and black smudges about it. All around her eye is red, and swelled, the eyes of someone that hasn't slept for a few days, and is stressed out.

She is wearing a white, flowing dress, it makes her seem as if she is floating, with it's tattered and ripped ends. The dress is made of a silky, white material, and although it is stained, it still looks just as aliquant on her. She is also wearing old, worn, off white ballet shoes. She looks at Duncan and her eyes stay cold looking at him, but her lips barely move, like she is trying to speak to him.

Duncan is on the right side of the land. He is wearing a white, pirate like shirt, stained as well. And brown fencing pants, with holes in various places. He has no shoes, and his hands are dirty, as can be. His hair looks wet, making the green strands curl, like small spirals. One of his eyes is normal, but the other is completely blood shot. He stares at Courtney with just as much intensity. He nudges his head, slightly upward, puts his hand out towards Courtney, and they walk towards each other, on the soggy soot colored ground.

There are dead trees around them, and the atmosphere is windy, and dark. In fact the sky is dark purple, and black, with hints of light grey wisps of clouds. There is no sunlight beaming through, only the energy they contract can be making a dim glow, in the depressing gray scale environment.

As Courtney, walked about three feet in front of Duncan a strand of leaves swirled around her, from the wind swishing and swaying. It continued to spiral around Duncan when they were about one foot apart. It then dissolved into but a mere layer of decomposing material on the ground.

Once they were close enough, Duncan placed his hand on Courtney's lower back, and held her left hand, she did the opposite, and they presumed to dance. They twisted, and leaned, performing a beautiful ballet.

The ground shook a little, as a once grand, but now brown, rustic tree fell to the ground. Courtney flinched as it did, but her expression stayed the same, Duncan's did as well. They danced for at least thirty more minutes, uninterrupted, without halting, just at peace, not showing emotion but instead feeling it through each others touch, and being. It was love at it's finest, darkest, most irrelevant moments. If just by looking you would have been persuaded that this was the most unhappy, dysfunctional couple around. But strange as it may seem you could tell, without sight that they were in love, with the most utter sincerity possible, it was hopeless to avoid and get around, it was there, and it was what it was!

When suddenly Courtney slipped, a tear came to her eye, when Duncan caught her, without hardly any motion but that of his arm, until his face to was consumed by sadness. He brought Courtney in close to him and hugged her, she sobbed without sound, and just stood there, stopping the coordinated dance abruptly.

A/N At this point the first song stops playing, and is replaced with silence.

Courtney stepped back from him, her lip twitched as she did. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Duncan stared at her with the same cold, hard eyes he had kept the whole time. He only stood there and breathed.

"Why do you just stare? Won't you come for me?" Courtney mouthed to Duncan with eyes full of water. Her dress turned grey, and her skin began to turn paler, and paler. The brown and black smudges turned red, which deepened with time as well.

"Do you not care for me any more?" she mouthed as tears streamed down her face. "You've given up, stop shaking, grow up and out of the hedge you've placed around your self. Duncan, save me I'm dying here and you just stare at me."

Her hair started to recede; it looked as if back into her skull. Duncan still only stared, except now he clinched and unclenched his fist, as if he wanted to move, and help her. Suddenly the ground about them fell, and disappeared, leaving nothing but black space around them.

A/N Around, they still have a patch of land to stand on

"I love you Duncan" she screamed "Being blind, or hurt isn't an excuse for what you've been doing, find me, find me please" her screaming turned into crying then into a whisper and back into mouthing. "I'm sorry for all I've wronged you with"

And with that Courtney walked backwards to the edge of the terrain and launched herself back wards into the dark space.

A/N At this time Courtney wakes up, but then she lies back down, not sleeping but resting.

Duncan stood there for a moment and pondered all that had happened. He came back to reality and rushed to where Courtney had just committed suicide, as if he expected to find her just floating there, fine. But alas he did not. He started to cry as well, he backed up approximately five feet and took a running start when he dove off the edge of the terrain. But when he did he just floated.

"Courtney? Courtney" he screamed but no sound came out, even though he strained for it to do so. She floated through the space, and ran in place. Until a giant hand came and swooped him up, it was wrinkled and white, boney with long fingers and nails, that were broken, and jagged with all kinds of fungal colored spots, they reeked like dead matter.. The hand brought him up to a face…it was The Evil Witch Heather's!

"Ha, ha, ha, ha," she laughed in a deep demonic growling voice. "not so tough now Prince!"

Once done talking she through Duncan into a tower, full of locks and strands of hair various colors and lengths, they squirmed about like animals, and made whimpering noises. They all crowded around Duncan and screamed at him horrible scowls and sounds. Duncan screamed when he saw it and did so in real life to.

*UnDeR ThE TrEe wHeRe cOuRtNeY Is*

"What in the world made that noise?" said Courtney. She stood up and listened longer, she heard crying, but not like a young girls cry, a young mans cry. In fact probably about her age.

"I'm so sorry" the voice cried, "Princess…."

Courtney's eyebrows rose, the only person she knew that would scream that was Duncan!

O dear Duncan, she had completely forgotten about him how selfish could she be, he was there for her through allot!

Courtney rose and grabbed the hem of her skirt up and ran, she ran towards Duncan and his persistent crying plea.

"Duncan, D..Duncan is that you?" she called out.

*In tHe mUdDy gRoUnD WhErE DuNcAn iS*

Duncan was completely covered in mud, his clothes were ruined, and his hair was now a blackish, brown color. He was crying aloud so that maybe something would hear him in this state of weakness and finish him off. Or so that maybe by God's grace Courtney or a nice villager would come rescue him, he was finished trying now he had given up…he didn't feel anxiety now, he embraced it.

"Princess," he bellowed.

"Duncan…D…Duncan?" He heard someone answer back.

He sobbed, he wished he could look around him and see if it was so.

*WhErE CoUrTnEy Is RuNnInG To fInD DuNcAn*

"Yes, Duncan it's me Courtney" Courtney screamed with such passion. "I'm here," she ran as fast as she could, jumping over logs, stumbling over vines and roots.

Courtney came up to a limp body trying to sit up, it was drenched in mud. It's hair was soaked as well, it altered it's color.

"O, are you alright sir" Courtney asked, she had time to help this fellow out and still find Duncan, plus he was in horrible shape.

"It's me….do I look that disfigured that you can't tell who I am?" he said.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think I've ever seen you before, you sound a bit familiar but, actually if you're fine then I have to go find my friend." Replied Courtney.

He turned around, it was Duncan, his eye's were swollen and full of mud, and debris.

"Princess, it's me Duncan!"

"Duncan?"

Courtney rushed in and hugged him. She began to cry, she caressed him and kissed him on the head.

"I'm o sorry, I didn't realize,….I"

"I've been searching for you for days, I've been crawling in pain, starving, I wanted to make sure you were alright." He cried, "Are you hurt?"

Courtney looked at him, he wasn't looking at her, he just stared off, into space like he wasn't staring at anything.

"I'm fine, I've found berries and things to eat, and I've just been looking for a way out of these woods, that's where I figured you would have been. I didn't think to look for you…. I'm sorry…so.."

"Don't worry about it" he said

"You're covered in mud, have you been rolling around in it?" Courtney asked some what giggling from her sincerity.

"No," he chuckled as well. "No…a erm…a..storm came through last night best I could tell. I mean I was getting soaked by wet droplets and the ground turned to mud, so I think that's what was going on."

"What do you mean you think? Didn't you see the lightning? I mean it was…." Courtney paused a little aggravated. "You don't look at me, why not?" she said grabbing his face and turning it to face hers.

"Believe me" he said " I want nothing more but to see your happy, safe, angelic face!" He moved his hand around to search for it, he fingered her nose, and around her eyes, making out the shape of it. He then felt her hair, "It's very becoming" he said in relation to her hair cut.

"O Duncan I had no idea," she said pulling his face close to hers. "I'm so sorry"

"You now actually I think it will catch on, I mean it's radiant, and not hard to maintain. Actually, I have coped with being blind, it's not that bad…I mean… it's not like you actually need…it'….i hate it….it's ruined me!" Duncan's sarcastic voice turned back into a whelping cry.

Courtney leaned in close and whispered right in front of Duncan's lips,

" I love you blind or not, and we'll get out of this!" then she kissed him, no holding back, full fledge, I love you, devotion! They were both crying so when they kissed one of Courtney's tears fell in Duncan's eye.

"O my gosh!" he screamed pulling away from Courtney.

"Wh…what is it?"

"It stings, like it's on fire…aahhhh…the pain, it's like a hot needle burning my eye!"

"I….I am sorry, I didn't mean to…to hurt your eye Duncan!"

Duncan's eye cried out red tears for a bit while it stung, Courtney had to watch in agony, until the tears were clear.

"O, …O I………, Courtney, your filthy!" Duncan said as he rushed up to Courtney and hugged her!

"What I promise you change your mood as much as I blink Duncan! What in the world does it matter if I am dirty, look at you I mea…… wait you can see…me! O Duncan that's wonderful!"

" Yes! I know, I guess your tears un did the weird..spell….er…uummm….whatever I can see your angelic face again!" rejoiced Duncan.

Duncan and Courtney walked out of the woods, and onto a dirt road it was turning dusky dark and Courtney knew they needed to get to a village inn before dark, or they would be extremely vulnerable. Courtney and Duncan were extremely fatigued though, and couldn't walk much longer, when they heard the clip clop of horse hooves coming down the lane.

"Excuse me, are you lost young travelers?" Said a voice that came from the front of the wagon.

"Um, sort of we need to get to the nearest city, and find a place to stay for the night." Answered Duncan.

"I see, well the nearest town is about forty miles behind us. It would take you at least a two day to walk there. You could hop in the back of the wagon and tag along with us if you like, I would feel bad knowing such a young couple as yourselves was out at this hour alone. It's not safe you see…." Explained he.

"Well thanks for the offer but….."

"Chris darling what's the hold up? " asked a women as she came out from the back of the wagon. She looked and saw the filthy twosome. "O, do we have more passengers?"

"I'm not sure Lena, they don't see keen on coming!" replied Chris.

"We aren't trying to be rude, but it's just we would...hate to trouble you, and" they answered back.

"Well it's no trouble at all, where were you heading?"

"Anywhere really, we thought about going to the town just behind you."

"To total Drama Village? Well that's not the best idea, please if nothing else rest in the back of the wagon for the night! It's cold out and you look famished."

"Why wouldn't that be the best idea?" asked Courtney.

"If you hop in the back I'll tell you whatever you'd like to learn please, we need to get a move on and we won't leave without you!" Lena insisted, and so Courtney and Duncan did as they were told and gathered in the back once they were settled Chris instructed the horses to march onward and they moved again.

The back of the wagon was full of villagers, I wide assortment of them.

"Hi, I'm Bridgette and this is Geoff," said one of them to Duncan and Courtney.

Duncan replied, "I'm Duncan, and this is Courtney.

Lena, "I'm sorry Duncan Courtney these are our friends form the village; Tyler, Harold, Geoff, Lindsay, LeShawna, Eva, Justin, Owen, Noah, Trent, Gwen, Cody, Izzy, Bridgette, Katie, Sadie, Beth. And we picked those to in the far corner up a little while ago!"

Duncan looked back to see who they were, "Ezekiel? DJ?" He asked.

"Hey Duncan, thought we'd never see you again A?" replied Ezekiel

"Yeah man, it was harsh " agreed DJ

Courtney looked back at Lena and asked her a question, "So why would going to Total Drama Village be a bad idea?"

"Well, a few weeks ago, the Kings son ran away, he's been very upset ever since, and taking it out on some villages, so we are getting out of it while we can." Replied Lena.

Duncan, Ezekiel and DJ lowered their heads once hearing this.

Lindsay looked up from braiding her hair and saw the two, filthy and caked in mud, and undesirable matter.

"O my gosh, what happened to you?" she asked.

"We got caught up in a storm, we got separated from each other in the woods, and didn't quite know what to do…" they replied.

"How did you get stuck out in the woods?" asked Beth.

"Well we were staying some where but we got kicked out, and left in the woods." "So where exactly are all of you heading?" asked Courtney

"And island a few hundred miles form here, we are going to call it Total Drama Island! We will govern it ourselves, and it sounds perfect." Replied Lena.

Duncan and Courtney quite liked the sound of that, your own island, no witches, and free of thorns.

"You just want to go there because there are tons of marsh mallows and Rapunzel!" said Noah in a sarcastic way.

"How stupid can you be fool? Lena hasn't looked at a marshmallow ever since The Evil Witch Heather stole her Courtney! I swear sometimes I just wanna…mmm" Leshawna chimed in.

"You knew the Evil witch Heather?" Courtney asked.

"Yes, nasty vile thing of a witch!"

"Tell me about it!" said Courtney.

"You knew her?" asked Bridgette

"She was my… my mother!" Courtney answered, everybody stared at her, but none as much as Lena could this be her daughter?
