…Don't kill me! I have to, okay? I just HAVE to! Fanon/Crack wouldn't be complete without it! I'm sorry, but… I kind of don't hate DunGwen anymore. I was a young, immature child when I hated it, because I despise change, but... They are kinda cool together. On certain terms. Like, NOT cheating terms. Anywho, you DxC fans will want to burn me at the stake, and you DxG fans will probably be like, 'Whoa! Hey! Awesome!'… So… yeah, on with it, I guess.

Next pairing: DuncanxGwen

Gwen was proud to be where she was now. Sure, things were a bit rough earlier on, with the whole Trent mess, and then later, the Courtney mess, but… Lady luck was finally on her side!

Wasn't she? I mean, Gwen now had an amazing boyfriend who loved her deeply, who also happened to be her best friend. Life couldn't get any better. The two were made for each other, and that was that.

Gwen let out a content sigh, as the warm, tropical breeze ruffled her short black and teal locks. Her eyes fluttered closed and she reclined further back into reclining chair she was lying on, under the comforting shade of an umbrella. After an especially difficult season, Gwen was at long last, relaxed.

"Would you look at the two of them together? It's nauseating! That should be me with Duncan, not Gothica! You know, if her goth girl hooks weren't so far into him, he'd still be with me! It's common knowledge."

Gwen's eased expression broke out into an irritated scowl as she lazily opened one of her dark eyes. Sure enough, Courtney was glaring enviously at her, her eyes filled with the deepest loathing. Her bathing suit hugged each one of her clenched muscles as her arms stayed crossed across her chest, her shoulders tense and tight.

"Well, that was a relaxing five seconds," Gwen muttered, stretching out her arms above her head. She sighed tiredly, and rubbed her eyes with the backs of her hands. Gwen heard the click-clack of Courtney's high heel wedges against the pavement of the pool grounds grow louder, as Courtney stopped and stood about ten feet away from her. Gwen turned and sent Courtney an incredulous look, as if saying 'Oh come on! Get over it already!', to which Courtney's frosty glare responded, 'I am going to kill you. Brutally.' Gwen rolled her eyes as Courtney harrumphed, before breaking out into a smile. She eagerly tried to peer around the hotheaded CIT, as the latter sent her a confused, haughty gaze. Walking towards them, was none other than Duncan, wearing his swim trunks, and his signature red high-tops traded for a pair flip-flop sandals; much more appropriate for sitting poolside. In his hands were two glasses with tropical looking ice-cold smoothies with party umbrellas suspended festively within the contents. Courtney spun around just as Duncan passed right by her, a mixture between anger and hurt clouding over her tanned face. If she hadn't have been so rotten to Gwen after learning of her and Duncan's secret kiss, she might have even felt bad for the girl. But that guilt was long gone after seeing what a huge bitch the girl was.

"Hey hotstuff, how's it goin'?" Duncan greeted, sliding into the lawn chair beside her and handed her a drink. Gwen smiled at him as he flashed her a wink and smirk. Just seeing that he hadn't crawled back to Courtney like both girls had assumed made her heart flutter.

"Oh, fine I guess." Gwen sighed, rolling her eyes and smiling in a lopsided manner, before taking a sip of the smoothie he had gotten her. Duncan raised one side of his eyebrow, clearly not buying her bullshit. That's one of the main things that separated him from Trent. He could sense easily if something was wrong, while Trent gets a little…foolish, for lack of a better word. Gwen let out another sigh, and pursed her lips. "Okay, you're going to think I sound like such a girl right now, but… I dunno, Courtney's just being such a…a…" She trailed off, trying to find a word that wasn't too offensive, in case Courtney might be eavesdropping.

"Brat? Priss? Bitch? Psychotic raging ex-girlfriend?" Duncan suggested, his smirk widening. Despite herself, Gwen let out a soft chuckle, before playfully punching the delinquent in the shoulder.

"Yeah, that pretty much sums it up." She half-smiled, before sighing. "I don't regret our friendship, and I don't regret our kiss." Gwen stated defiantly.

"That's good to know, I guess. Don't wanna be kissin' anyone who'll regret it every time I do so." Duncan snorted, rolling his eyes.

"Would you let me finish? I do regret losing Courtney as a friend, though."

Duncan nearly spit up the fruity beverage he was casually sipping on, as his teal eyes widened with shock. "You? Friends with Courtney? Ha, ha, very funny."

Gwen sent Duncan a warning look, that was nowhere as frightening as the one Courtney sent, but Duncan did admit she was getting there. Gwen sighed, and smirked slightly.

"Well, it was oddly more pleasant than her trying to rip out my vocal chords every five seconds. That's beside the point. What can we do to just… Get her to-" Gwen froze mid-sentence as her eyes landed on Courtney, who was chatting snobbishly with a cameraman obviously taping post-season footage. A scowl tugged on her lips, as she registered what the tanned brunette was up to.

"…Of course I don't believe any of the final three deserved to have gotten as far as they did, I mean, come on! Heather? Really? Alejandro may have used some of his clearly superior Latin, sexy skill to make it, but Cody? The only way he could have made it was on dumb luck and the fact that that creepy stalker Sierra was throwing herself at every danger for him. Can you talk about desperate?" Courtney huffed, smirking slightly into the camera, as it blinked red, showing that it was recording every word she said.

"Oho," Gwen heard Duncan laugh, as he glared at his former flame; Courtney kindly returned the notion. The cameraman focused the shot on him and Gwen. "That's rich, coming from you. I seem to recall you flirting with Tyler to try and make me jealous. Tyler!" He emphasized, as if the fact was an incriminating offense. And to Duncan, it probably was. Courtney's face reddened, as Gwen tittered silently to herself, before both her and Duncan took long sips of their beverages.

The camera focused back on Courtney, as she made as if she hadn't heard Duncan's remark. She cleared her throat, plastering on an impassive expression. "I mean, the final three could have been Neanderthal, Gothie and me, you know. But, as soon as I figured out that they were back-stabbing lying jerk-faces, I saw that it was simply not plausible." She commented airily. Both the unnaturally hair-coloured teens glared and scowled, obviously annoyed by Courtney's words. The brunette cleared her throat once again, and conducted an imaginary band as she began to sing, much to the couples' visible irritation.

"Ohhh, Duncan has legs that are shaped just like twigs, Gwen is as ill-shaped as a fast-rotting fig! Put them together and what does that bring? Lies and dexterity of disabled pigs!" She grinned, continuing to conduct as she shut her eyes, clearly enjoying herself.

Gwen turned to face Duncan, who was scowling angrily at this display. Gwen sighed and placed her drink on a nearby table, frowning as Courtney prepared for another verse.

"All… I… Did was try and get Duncan to do, his best, and what does he do? Rip my heart out of my chest! And Gwen helped by stomping it with her big ugly boots! Which are tacky as her black and disgusting teal roots!"

Duncan shut his eyes and clenched his jaw, clearly fighting a mental battle not to strangle the CIT, as Gwen tried her best to ignore the offensive lyrics.

"And lastly, let's see… There is so much to say… But I shall save it for another day. Duncan's a hitch, on any sane person's plans! And Gwen is a BITCH, who really needs… Aaaaa… TAAAAAAAAAN- AAACCKK!" As Courtney's final note reverberated, a size ten male sandal flew threw the air, hitting her square in the face, and knocked her off her feet as she tumbled into the pavement.

Gwen tried her hardest not to laugh, but her darned sadistic side got the better of her, and she giggled foolishly. Before she realized what was going on, a pair of warm, strawberry flavoured lips met her blueberry tasting ones, causing her eyes to fly open, before closing blissfully. Duncan's lips molded against his as his hand landed securely on the bare small of her back, sending a few shivers up her spine, as it was cold from the drink he had been holding. All too soon, Duncan pulled away, and smiled at her apologetically, as Gwen's pale cheeks flushed, as she returned the smile. This, was peace. This was relaxation.

"Sorry," he mumbled

"Do my ears deceive me, or is Duncan actually apologizing for something? I thought it was against his alleged 'badass' code." Gwen teased, smirking lightheartedly.

Duncan smirked back, lightly punching her fair arm, sending her a warning look. "Hey. It's not alleged, ever seen someone as sexy and badass as me? Thought so." He grinned cheekily, taking her blush as a response. "Naw, I'm apologizing for Songbird over there," he continued, his smile dropping slightly, as he glanced over to the groaning brunette. She sat up, scowling and rubbing her tender freckled nose, before sending both him and Gwen a heated glare.

"That, is assault via projectile!" She shrieked, clenching her free hand into a fist and shaking it vengefully. "I could sue you for that!"

Gwen and Duncan rolled their eyes in unison, before focusing their attention on each other once again. "That was an empty threat, don't worry." Duncan waved off, in an undertone after receiving such threats weekly for two years straight. "Anyway, yeah… I knew I wanted to go out with you, and… I kinda jumped into it a little too soon, and well… I knew that this," he explained, gesturing wildly to the grumbling and icily glaring Courtney, "was unavoidable, but… This was not what I had in mind." Duncan grumbled.

Gwen stared at him, her brow furrowed and her deep dark eyes darting up and down, examining his face silently. A few moments passed, and Duncan was starting to feel a bit uneasy by the intensity of her gaze. Gwen leaned in, and placed a soft kiss on the corner of his mouth, her chin grazing the hairs of his goatee. Duncan furrowed his brow, taken aback by her gentleness. He'd never experienced something so soft. With previous girlfriends, Courtney in particular, it was always rough and needy, and filled with lust.

"Uh, what was…that for?" Duncan asked, awkwardly.

Gwen smiled a genuine, loving smile; one that Duncan had only seen a handful of times with Courtney. It was especially prominent in her beautiful, alluring eyes, which were as dark as the charcoal she sketched with.

"For standing by me." She said.

"…What?" He repeated, even more confused.

"I dunno," Gwen shrugged, "just thought I'd delve into some sentimental crap, seeing as you like it so much, Mr. Carved Wooden Skull." She smirked.

Duncan returned the favour, raising an eyebrow amusedly. "Think so, Ms. Alien Chunks Necklace?" He retorted.

"I believe I do." Gwen grinned, winking humorously. Duncan chuckled, and swung an arm around her shoulders, as she snuggled into his muscular chest.

"You're alright, Pasty. You're alright." He remarked, impressed.

"Because that means so much coming from you," she giggled, as Duncan scowled playfully.

"Shut up." He muttered.

"Make me," Gwen replied, defiantly, her obsidian eyes shining like embers after a long lasting blaze. Duncan sent her an authentic smile, leaning in and pressing his lips against hers. Gwen wrapped her arms around his neck drawing him closer to her, as the Hawaiian sun lowered in the sky, casting long shadows over the few cast members who rested poolside, or swam in the pristine pool, enjoying themselves and laughing.

Finally, Gwen was relaxed.

Sorry for the failure of epic proportions that was this Gwuncan oneshot, but I haven't written either of them, let alone together in FOREVER. So yeah… Kinda sucky, I know. But for my first proper DxG, I don't think it was too horrible!

Ooh! Fun fact! Did you know that the whole Gwen/Duncan/Courtney singing-sandal-in-face thing is actually based on a bonus scene in… I forget what country and language. Sorry. -_- It made me angry because it was cruel to Courtney, but she did kinda deserve it. :/

Anyway, please review with your feedback! Did it suck, which I'm pretty sure it did? Did you enjoy it? Express those thoughts via review!
