Getting True Love Back Chapter 8

"So everyone wants to eliminate the other team, and then slowly start to eliminate ourselves?" Courtney was sitting in a log outside the dining hall, growing worried. Duncan placed his hands on her shoulders, "It'll be okay, Courtney. It won't be that bad." She put her hand over his. "Trent told me you were talking about me yesterday. He said you were talking about what we had agreed on." Duncan looked at her with a suspicious look. "So you and Elvis still talk? What did you tell him?" Courtney snorted with laughter, "Duncan, it's not like that. He was just telling me that he should have done something like that with Gwen. He said he feels like he may have rushed things with her and she might leave him again. He admires that you always take things slow to see if the person you are interested likes you too. I agree." Duncan kissed Courtney's cheek. "Um, Duncan? Don't do that." She moved his hands from her shoulder and walked to talk to Bridgette. Trent walked to Duncan, "What happened?" Duncan looked at Trent with a really annoyed face, "Nothing. She is just being stubborn, again. She doesn't want to make me think that we are more than what she thinks is just being great friends. She said she does want to be more than that, but that we should slow down. I'm starting to get annoyed by it."

"And yet, I think it's kinda hot. I like chasing around for the girl of my dreams. ", Duncan declares to the confessional.

Trent smiled at him, "Maybe you should ask her what she wants." Duncan laughed hysterically, "The last time I let Courtney do what she wanted, she ended up writing me a forty page letter saying I should change if we want to have a serious relationship. I'm okay." Trent shook his head, "She isn't the same Courtney you knew before, Duncan. She has changed, and for the best. She feels much better this way." Duncan was about to say something when Courtney came back. "Hey, Trent! How are you?" Trent smiled back at her, "Oh you know, talking to my new bud." Courtney giggled. Duncan saw that she liked Trent's corniness. "So, what were you guys talking about?" Courtney punched Trent's shoulder. He pretended to lose his balance, "Whoa! I was telling him about how we went to the cheese cake factory on our first date. We competed with that couple celebrating their—" Both Courtney and Trent said in unison. "Twelve year anniversary!" They laughed really hard together. "Yeah, I remember. We beat them so badly, it made the wife want to cry. I felt so bad, that we ended up buying them a full wedding cake cheese cake. Oh, how I miss those times." Courtney looked like she wanted to cry. Trent walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder, "I know you will get to do those things again soon." She smiled at him and he nodded towards Duncan. Courtney walked to Duncan and put her arm around his waist, then hugged him. "Thanks, Trent." He smiled at both Courtney and Duncan, "Any time, Court." Trent walked to Gwen. She smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the lips. "You are way too nice." He took her hand and guided her to the dining hall, "You haven't had anything to eat, we should do that now."

Gwen sat on the bench, as Trent grab her a meal, "This is gonna sound weird, but what Chef made today actually looks good." She smiled and kissed his cheeks, "Like I said, you are way too nice." He tried feeding her like a child, but she refused to let him feed her, "I can do it myself, thank you." He couldn't help but grin, "Fine, your majesty. Go ahead and eat on your own." She was eating, while he tapped on the table, trying to make a tune on his own. "Why are you injuring the table like that?" She bit on the scrambled eggs. "I'm trying to make a new tune for the newest song I wrote. I'm sure you'll like it when you hear it." Gwen smiled at him, "I can't wait." She continued to eat, but then she moved her plate away and got up. She stood behind Trent and messaged his neck. "I needed that." He stopped banging on the table and began to enjoy the message. Suddenly his enjoyment became vocal, and everyone in the hall turns to him. Gwen stopped, "Trent, stop doing that." He looked at her embarrassed, "Sorry, I really liked the message." Zoey and Mike walked up to him and Gwen. "Hey, can we ask you something?" Gwen smiled at Mike, "You just did. That was a question." Trent laughed and Zoey giggled. "I was gonna ask you, how do you guys do it to be so happy?" Trent looked at Gwen with a questioning look, then Trent replied, "I don't understand." Zoey walked up to them to explain, "Well, you guys don't argue so much like normal couples. I heard that is bad in a relationship. How do you guys do all of that without having other problems?" Trent was growing concerned. He began to think about what happen during Total Drama Action. It was a bad experience. "We have fought. It just ended terribly wrong. I guess I learned to be more carefully on what I do." Gwen squeezed his hand, but Mike continued. "Well, I still think it may be really unhealthy for the relationship." Trent was growing concerned again.

Duncan walked up to Courtney. "Hey, what are you doing?" She turned to him, "I'm just trying to organize my bras and underwear to match, or sort of match, each other." He grabbed one of her bras and pretended to try it on, "Do you like it?" She was laughing really hard, "I love it." She kissed his cheek. He didn't get red, or try to make his move, he just accepted it. "I'm almost done, then I'm going to meet everyone else for the challenge." said an exhausted Courtney. He wrapped her blanket around her shoulders. "You should stay warm. You sound like you are catching a cold." She turned around and kissed Duncan's lips. He cupped her cheeks with his hands, and kissed her back. She didn't pull away, she just stayed there and began to wrap her arms his neck. She had her eyes closed, and she whispered slowly, "Oh, Duncan, I've been dreaming about you since I found out you were coming out on the show." He broke the kiss, "What did you say?" She was red with embarrassment and humiliation, "I thought that if I told anyone, I'd be cheating on Trent. I really did love Trent, but I couldn't help but dream that maybe one day, we could have met differently. I've had a dream where you come into a coffee shop to work, I was in line waiting to get my Frappuccino, this girl gives it to me; then I sit down and begin to read my book. It is a book that I absolutely love, The Great Gatsby. You finish with your shift and walk up to me saying 'I love that book.' Then we start a never ending conversation and then—"

Campers, go outside and get ready for the challenge.

"And then what Courtney?" Duncan said, willing to listen. She turned to him, "Never mind. It was a stupid dream anyway." They walk out together and gather up in front of Chris.

Okay, so today we will be having a how well do you know me challenge. Each of the teams will compete to see which couple knows each other better. So which couples will go up against each other? The rabbits will have to sit one couple down.

"So, Bridge and I think we should go." said Geoff. "Harold and I have a lot in common." responded Leshawna. They all looked at Trent and Gwen, and Duncan and Courtney. "So which couple will be going up?" said Harold. "I say Duncan and Courtney. They won a competition like that during World Tour." Bridgette added. Everyone nodded, but Courtney was growing worried. "I don't think I can do this Duncan." He kissed her lips, "You'll do fine, babe." She kissed him back, "Okay. I trust you." Everyone was shocked. They hadn't seen Courtney and Duncan kiss for a while, and usually Courtney was the one to kiss first. This time Duncan was the one who kissed her first. Courtney turned to them, "Stop staring and get to your posts." Everyone was up and running to their posts.

We will start with the first question. Whoever answers wrong, will have to walk through the plank of shame. It is actually a ball pit. You won't get hurt. I hope. Let's get started. Dakota, without getting hints from Sam or the other teammates. What was the type of video game Sam thought about while trying to save Lindsey?

"Um, I don't know." responded Dakota.

Wrong. You are out. Now, Leshawna, what is Harold? Left or right handed?

"Right handed." Leshawna responded confidently.

Wrong. Jo, where did Brick learn his military skills?

"He learned them in the national guard." she said carelessly.

Correct. Geoff, when did you and Bridgette first meet?

"Um, August?" said Geoff.

WRONG! You met in June.

"Geoff, how could you?" cried Bridgette.

Zoey, when does Mike go from himself to Vito?

"Ugh, mostly when Anna Maria is around." said Zoey.

Correct. Gwen, Trent, you may enter now. Courtney, why did Duncan get sent to Juvi before coming here?

"He vandalized Vancouver City property." said Courtney.

Correct. Gwen, what was Trent's first song he learned?

"La Bamba." said Gwen.

Correct. Now it's time for the guys. Things are changing a bit, now you guys will answer questions on the other couples. Mike, when is Jo's birthday?

"May 19." he responded.

Brick, what is Zoey's favorite color?

"It's red." Brick said.

Duncan, what is Gwen secret talent?

"Po- Poetry." Duncan stuttered with fear. Gwen only looked embarrassed.

Finally, for the most important question. Trent, what is the name of Courtney's d-

"NO!" yelled Courtney.

-og.

"It's Smirky. Her dad named him like that." said Trent.

Final question for whoever gets it right. Which contestant was about to get released from being in the show because their dad was way too famous?

"DAKOTA!" everyone but Trent and Courtney said.

Trent, Courtney, do you guys want to say anything?

"It was me" said Courtney sadly.

"I agree." said Trent.

Yes, since Courtney's dad is—

"NOOOO!" yelled Courtney again.

Okay, well that was all for today. The Rabbits take the win. Squirrels, I'll see you at the campfire ceremony.

"Was it really your dad?" said Bridgette. "Yeah, it was him." said a disappointed Courtney. Duncan walked up to them, "So, Princess. Why don't you want anyone to know who your daddy is?" Bridgette answered for her, "'Cause everyone would go crazy for Courtney!" Courtney looked at her viciously. "What's your dad?" Duncan said raising an eyebrow. "I don't want to talk about it." Courtney said. Trent walked up to them, with Gwen on his side. "Courtney, and her dad, rather not tell people who he is now. It's sort of a secret." Duncan was mad that Courtney had not told him what was going on with her family. But he couldn't blame her. He didn't really ever ask him what was wrong with her life. Duncan then told Courtney, "Let's go to the bunk, to get a goodnight's rest." Courtney smiled at him, wrapped her arm around Duncan's fore arm and they walked to it. When they were in there, Courtney let Duncan enter the shower. He got out and she took one. Once they were both out, Courtney went to Duncan's bed and cuddled with him. "I'm only doing this for a few minutes, until Brick and Jo come back." They were lying down, side-by-side, facing each other. Duncan gave her a seductive look, "What if they don't come back?" Courtney slapped his cheek lightly, then kissed his lips. She then said, "Well then, I will only be here for three minutes."

In Trent and Gwen's bunk, they were out of their shower. "Well, time to sleep." said Gwen. She laid down next to Trent. He wrapped his arms around her waist. Her back was to him. They fell asleep lightly and both smiling.
