"Duncan, where are we going?" Courtney asks as Duncan leads the pair deeper into the woods. She cradles their baby in her arms, being sure to keep the baby's head secure so it wouldn't loll back.
"Just to get some privacy," Duncan answers. Courtney couldn't help but smile with excitement. She was glad Duncan couldn't see her, since he was in front of her, leading her to some secluded spot.
Finally, Duncan says, "Here we are." He grabs a handful of vines and pulls them down. Courtney gasps when she sees the beautiful clearing. There was a fallen log amid the colorful and fragrant wildflowers. The grass looked bright green and springy. A couple sparkles of dew shone in the sunlight, which leeched down through the heavy cover of dark green tree limbs. Butterflies flitted about the clearing, and several ladybugs buzzed to and fro.
"Duncan, this place is gorgeous! How'd you find it?" Courtney gushes.
"I was just walking… and kinda found it. I've come here a couple times before just to think about things," Duncan replies. He sits on the fallen log and Courtney sits down beside him, placing their baby in the soft grass and being sure her diaper was on tight. When Courtney looks up, Duncan surprises her with a pure white wildflower. She grins at the romanticness of it all.
In the car I just can't wait,
to pick you up on our very first date.
Is it cool if I hold your hand?
Is it wrong if I think it's lame to dance?
Do you like my stupid hair?
Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear?
I'm too scared of what you think.
You make me nervous so I really can't eat.
Let's go, don't wait, this night's almost over.
Honest, let's make this night last forever,
Forever and ever, let's make this last forever,
Forever and ever, let's make this last forever.
When you smile, I melt inside.
I'm not worthy for a minute of your time.
I really wish it was only me and you.
I'm jealous of everybody in the room.
Please don't look at me with those eyes,
Please don't hint that you're capable of lies.
I dread the thought of our very first kiss,
A Target that I'm probably gonna miss.
Let's go,don't wait, this night's almost over,
Honest, let's make this night last forever,
Forever and ever, let's make this last forever,
Forever and ever, let's make this last forever.
Let's go, don't wait, this night's almost over,
Honest, let's make, this night last forever,
Forever and ever, let's make this last forever,
Forever and ever, let's make this last forever,
Forever and ever, let's make this last forever,
Forever and ever, let's make this last forever.
Not being able to control herself, Courtney places her hand over Duncan's fist, half holding the flower and half holding his hand. She places her other hand on the back of Duncan's neck and guides him towards her. Duncan ever-so-willingly obliges as Courtney kisses him. His hands slide down her waist and stops at the small of her back. After slight tugging on her shirt, Courtney gets the idea and she climbs into Duncan's lap.
After a several minutes of solid making out, a loud rumble is heard coming from the forest. Courtney pulls apart and hisses, "Did you hear that?" from Duncan's lap.
"Mmhmm," he replies. They stand up and try to listen for the noise again. Finally, they hear it again. It was a sudden growl, this time much closer than before. Courtney jumps, and huddles by Duncan's side, like one of the very first episodes of TDI.
Suddenly, a bear leaps out of the shrubbery and lets out a huge roar. Courtney screams, Duncan shouts, and they both start running. Courtney barely had time to grab the baby. Duncan protectively shoves Courtney in front of him, so he would be between her and the bear. They race through the woods, and their trip takes half the time it did heading towards the clearing. Somehow, though, Courtney leads them up a hill instead of towards camp.
"Duncan, wait, we're going the wrong way!" Courtney exclaims, slowing her pace to turn around.
"No time for that!" Duncan yells, grabbing her hand, and lurching her forward. They continue running until they reach the top of the hill where the land begins to flatten out. All of a sudden, Duncan screeches to a halt and Courtney slams into his shoulder. She gasps and they look down.
A huge, thousand-foot cliff was at their feet, and the bear was a mere hundred yards away. Duncan quickly searched the premises. His criminal instinct was kicking in -- this was exactly like escaping. Except this time the chances were losing his life instead of just another extra year added onto his other time he's already racked up in juvie.
A flash of red catches his eye. He dashes over to the bushes and drags a huge hang-glider out of the shrubs. Duncan assesses the damage -- there was hardly none except for old age, seeing that it was last used all the way back from TDI. He looks over his shoulder. The bear was hardly thirty feet away. There was no time to lose.
Duncan spit on his hands and quickly rubbed them together for extra friction. He takes the silver bar in his hands and sprints for the edge of the cliff, where Courtney still stood paralyzed in fear. Barely a second before he jumps, Duncan takes an arm and roughly grabs Courtney around the waist. He holds her like a football under his arm as they sail through the air.
Her scream was deafening.
"DUNCANNN!" Courtney screamed, wrapping both arms around his torso.
"Listen, Princess, as much as I hate to say it, maybe you should hold onto the bar instead of me. My pants are pretty baggy and you pulling on them isn't gonna help much," Duncan says calmly. It was strange… he always because strangely calm after a wild and intense break-out or escape.
Courtney shakily grabs the bar and curls up into a ball around it. Duncan's hands were on either side of Courtney, and his chest was right above her back. Suddenly, Courtney hisses, "Shit."
Duncan's eyes widen. "What happened?"
"I dropped the baby into the ocean."
Duncan chuckles. "Princess, I think that was the least of our worries," he consoles her as they silently drift over the glimmering salt water back toward camp.
"Duncan and Courtney have been disqualified, since they have fed their baby to man-eating sharks," Chris announces over the PA system to the camp.
"Oh my gosh, do you think they're okay?" Bridgette asks Gwen, who had joined Bridgette on the beach. Gwen was bent over her sketchbook and Trent and Geoff were swimming out in the ocean.
"Of course," Gwen insists. "Duncan wouldn't let his Princess get hurt." Her eyes don't leave the page.
Bridgette smiles. "You're right. I'm probably just being paranoid."
Geoff and Trent start shouting something. Bridgette and Gwen stand up struggling to hear them from so far away. Trent points in the air, and the girls look up to see something big and red gliding through the air. They squint and manage to make out two figures… somebody wearing all-black, and the other was curled up in a ball and dressed in gray. The girls gasp. "Duncan and Courtney!"
Chris laughs from somewhere behind them. "Dudes, are you getting this?" Chris asks the cameramen. "This'll make for great ratings!"
As Duncan lands smoothly on the ground, Trent and Geoff run onto dry land to meet their friend. "Dude! You ruled!" Geoff exclaims, slapping Duncan a high-five.
"Yeah, man, where were you?" Trent asks.
"Having the best half hour of my life," Duncan replies with a smirk. Courtney, rubbing her temples and nursing a headache, groans with disagreement.
