Duncan POV

Duncan walked besides Gwen, holding her pale hand. They walked in silence, and he couldn't help thinking about a certain brunette. He was over that fiery, explosive bitch, but damn, did she look hot.

"Were you just joking about the bikini thing with Courtney?" Gwen asked suddenly. The question threw Duncan off-guard.

"Of course! I was just trying to make her mad, you know, ruffle her feathers." He said. "You're the only girl I want to see in a bikini." He bent down and quickly kissed her. Gwen giggled.

"Hey Gwen!" A female voice called. Both Gwen and Duncan turned around. It was Bridgette, and she had finally stopped making out with her boyfriend, Geoff. She looked different, her blond hair was finally out of that ponytail, and it was slightly curly. He didn't know if it was natural, but he didn't give a shit.

"Bridgette!" Gwen squealed and ran over to the blond. "Its so good to see you!"

They continued to hug and squeal like girls do, and Duncan grinned. It was nice to see Gwen happy.

"Yo, man!" Duncan swung around and saw Geoff.

"Hey dude." He bro-hugged Geoff, and they both smiled. Duncan was pretty good friends with Geoff, and the party dude was pretty fun to hang around.

"Did you see Courtney? She is looking hot bro! To bad your not still dating her." Geoff clapped him on the back.

"First of all, Gwen is way hotter. And, I'm glad I don't have to deal with that crazy chick any more."Duncan said angrily. Truthfully, he thought Courtney was just as hot as Gwen, and he didn't mind her... craziness, until she had gotten jealous and mean. He kind of missed the way they'd argued. But, he was happy with Gwen.

"Sure dude." Geoff said, unconvinced. "Whatever lets you sleep at night."

Just then, they reached the campfire. Courtney and Mark walked past him, talking and smiling happily. Duncan resisted the urge to stick his foot out and trip her. He could just imagine her face heating up to that cute shade of red when she was mad. But one look at Mark's glare at him, he decided to not make the big guy mad. He wasn't scared, but he didn't want Courtney thinking he was jealous and trying to get her attention. He wasn't jealous. Sure, when he had dumped Courtney, he had never imagined she would get boyfriend, let alone one that would sign up for this crazy ass show and admit that they were in love on national TV.

Once all the campers were gathered around the campfire pit, Chris clapped his hands.

"Are you all ready to meet your partner?!" He said excitedly. Nobody replied. "Fine. Be grumpy. But here is the first couple."

"Bridgette and Geoff." The two teens looked at each other and grinned.

"Woo-Hoo!" Geoff cheered "Me and my babe are gonna win this thing!" He then proceeded to make out with Bridgette.

"Get a room." Heather muttered, disgusted.

"Our second couple is Cody and Sierra."

"EEEEEEH!" Screamed Sierra, who bolted over to Cody and hug him. Cody smiled, a little worried.

"Hey, sweetie can you let go of me?" He asked Sierra.

Duncan grinned. He'd always thought Sierra's adoration with Cody was cute. He remembered how adoring he was of Courtney in Season 1. How she was so strong and beautiful, and how she could push his buttons in all the right ways. How she-

What the hell?! He was with Gwen. Courtney annoyed him, and not in a good way. But he wondered if Gwen and Mark hadn't existed, would they have another chance? Would she give him another chance?

"Duncan!"

"What?" Duncan drew his gaze up to Gwen's face and smiled. Her pale skin was aglow, and her lips were so cute when they were frowning. But she didn't do that much, especially when she was with him.

"Yes, babe?" He grinned at her.

"Why were you staring at Courtney?"

"What?" Duncan shook his head, as if to clear water from it, and then groaned. He had been staring at her. And worse, her boyfriend had noticed it too. He was obviously glaring at him. It seems like Heather had seen it too. When Duncan met her gaze, she just smiled and mouthed

I know who you really want.

He flipped her off.

"Our next couple is Heather and Alejandro."

"WHAT?" Heather screeches. "I refuse to work with him!" She stamped her foot and turned her nose up, like a spoiled brat refusing to eat her vegetables.

"I too, wish to decline that arrangement." Alejandro stepped up, talking smoothly. "Though I can handle my feelings in a much more...mature way." he said the last bit while staring straight at Heather.

"No way, Hosay." Chris grinned. "All couples are final. Now go stand next to your girlfriend."

"She is not my girlfriend!" Alejandro glared daggers at Chris, then stomped over to Heather. As Alejandro walked past him, Duncan whispered

"What happened to that cool, collected Alejandro from Season 3?" Duncan grinned slyly.

"What happened to your hot CIT girlfriend?" Alejandro retorted back. Duncan stared, shocked. Finally he whispered "Go to hell." But there wasn't any venom in them. Alejandro knew how to get under his skin.

"The next couple is Lindsay and Tyler!"

"YAY, YAY, YAY!" The blond squealed. Her voice hurt Duncan's ears. He remembered when he was forced to watch a whole movie with her in Total Drama Action. All she could talk about was lip gloss and shopping malls.

"Now, the next couple may make someone unhappy, but THERE IS NO SWITCHING. So without further ado, the next couple is Blainley and Mark!"

Duncan laughed silently. The princess was so going to explode. He watched her tiny fists clench, and an angry red color rose to her cheeks. Then she glanced at his smirking face. She glared at him, and opened her mouth, no doubt to explode at both him and Chris, when Mark touched her shoulder. Courtney looked up at him, and her big onyx eyes softened. She looked up at Mark, her eyes full of love, and smiled.

Duncan wondered if she had ever looked at him like that when they had been together.

"Hey, sweetie, its gonna be OK. We knew when we signed up for this show it was going to be hard. But we can make it through this." Mark then bent down and kissed Courtney.

"Awwww!" Lindsay exclaimed. Did all girls go all mushy-gushy when a guy talked sweet to her? He was sure Gwen wasn't like that, but when he looked at his girlfriend, her eyes looked soft, and she was smiling dreamily at Mark.

As Mark walked over to Blainley, she not-so-subtly checked him out.

"Are you sure you want to be tied down to just one girl?" Blainley asked Mark with a flirty voice. Mark just ruffled her hair and smiled like a big brother did to his younger sister.

Duncan realized there was only 3 people left, plus him. Trent, Courtney, and Gwen. He had a sinking feeling about who was going to end up with who.

"The second to last couple is...Trent and Gwen."

Trent and Gwen

Gwen and Trent

Trent and Gwen...together

Gwen just stared at the guy she had dated in Season 1, and back stabbed in Season 2. He jsut waved awkwardly at Gwen.

"Love ya." Gwen kissed Duncan on the cheek quickly, then went over to stand by Trent.

"So that leaves Duncan and Courtney!" Chris exclaimed. he glanced hopefully at Courtney, counting on her exploding. But she just stared dumbly at the ground, like she couldn't register the fact that she was coupled with Duncan. But Duncan knew Courtney had understood what Chris had said, she was controlling her anger. She was breathing heavily, and didn't glance up at him.

Duncan glanced at Mark, who gaze was saying everything.

If you so much as touch my girlfriend, I will fucking kill you.

Duncan grinned. Since Courtney was all calm, it was his job to make her explode. And he knew how to do that.

He slowly sauntered over to Courtney, who didn't acknowledge his presence.

"Hey princess. Wanna go change into that bikini?"

Courtney slowly looked up at him, her onyx eyes piercing his blue ones.

"Fuck this."

Duncan wasn't sure if he had heard his princess right. She never swore, even when she was steaming mad at him.

"What'd you say, babe?" Duncan grinned.

"Fuck you." Then Courtney punched him in this face.
