A/N: Aftermath time! Finally! Haha. While I did include quotes from the first TDWT Aftermath here, I did change up a few things. You'll see them soon enough ;) Thank you for the reviews! We can do better. We've made it over 100! Enjoy!

Duncan sighed, looking at the set before him. He sat in an audience chair as what looked like interns set up the stage for the first Aftermath show. He wasn't bummed about being there - no, he was rather excited about it. He wasn't excited about Geoff and Bridgette's inevitable encounter. He knew for a fact that Geoff hadn't seen or spoken to Bridgette yet since she got the boot.

He sighed before getting. He was told to get there early so he could get briefed on what would be going down, but he hadn't seen a producer or Geoff yet! He jogged down the steps and backstage, where he immediately stopped in his tracks. "Fuck," he whispered, glaring at the woman standing before him. Out of all the people he disliked, Blaineley had to be the one standing before him! He couldn't escape this woman when it came to this show!

"Aah, the star of the show..." Blaineley said, walking over to Duncan.

He glared at her. "What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Duncan, that is no way to treat your co-host..."

Co-host? Oh no. "I'm out," he said, holding his hands up. He pointed at Blaineley and said, "I'm not hosting with you! I don't know how you got Geoff off, but-"

"Duncan!"

Said man turned around watched his friend jog over to him. "Sorry, dude, didn't look at a clock for a while." Geoff glanced and Blaineley before doing a double-take. "Blaineley?" he asked.

"Hello, Geoffrey."

"Please don't call me that," Geoff said. "Um... Not trying to be rude, but what are you doing here?"

"I'm your new co-host," Blaineley explained, smirking.

Geoff looked at Duncan, shocked. "Dude!" he cried. "Why aren't you hosting anymore?"

"You're still hosting?" Duncan asked, confused.

Geoff slowly nodded. "Yes..."

"I thought she took your job," Duncan explained, scratching the back of his neck.

Geoff shook his head, laughing. "Dude, she can't take our jobs!"

"Is that so?" Blaineley asked.

"Duncan!"

Duncan turned away from the new female host, glad he was called away. He was surprised to see Courtney walking towards him. He furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Courtney sighed. "The producers kept leaving me messages, begging me to attend the Aftermath shows, or I'd be the only contestant to not show up in some form this season..."

He nodded, shrugging. "At least you get paid?"

She nodded. "It makes up for what I won't be making at work tonight."

He then walked to her side and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "I'm so glad you're here with me."

She nodded. The two of them were staring at Blaineley, who was jabbering away on her phone. "I'm not exactly the happiest to be here, since I really wanted this show out of my life as much as possible-"

"At least Chris isn't here," Duncan interjected. "Chef isn't here. There's no unnecessary drama."

Courtney patted her boyfriend's back. "I'm pretty sure 'unnecessary drama' is staring at us right now," she quietly said about Blaineley. She looked up at him and said, "I have to go. I have to finish getting ready."

"That's right, they gotta put on your mask," he teased.

"That's right," she agreed, nodding. "They gotta put on my 'bitch' mask so I can live up to last season."

He wasn't really sure how to respond to that. He figured she wasn't serious, but he was still stumped.

She giggled and leaned up, kissing his cheek. "I'm just kidding," she softly said. She patted his chest and said, "Break a leg, baby. You'll do fine. I'm pretty sure you're meant to host this, since you're pretty good at talking shit."

"And welcome your hosts this season... Blaineley, Duncan, and Geoff!"

Duncan gave the camera a half-wave, Geoff cheered loudly, and Blaineley just smiled at the camera. Duncan was a bit shocked at how much the audience was cheering. Were they really that excited to be there?

"Is everyone ready for some totally dramatic Aftermath?" Geoff asked, prompting more cheers from the audience. "Again, I'm Geoff."

"I'm Duncan."

"And I'm Blaineley Stacey Andrews O'Halloran. You may recognize me from programs such as Celebrity Manhunt-"

"But, today, we're here to talk about Total Drama World Tour!" Geoff exclaimed.

"We've got all the dirt and drama from season three," Duncan said, smirking.

"Now, let's introduce our friends," Geoff said.

He was going to continue, but Blaineley asked, "You mean those bystanders who can't even play this season?"

Duncan rolled his eyes, while Geoff cautiously said, "Easy..."

"We really don't mind," Justin said, glancing away from his mirror temporarily.

"What?" Blaineley asked, surprised. When the rest of the peanut gallery shook their heads, she asked, "Seriously? None of you care?"

"Nope!" Beth said.

"I'm so glad to be away from the game," Courtney said.

"It's nice to be away from Chris, Chef, and the drama," Trent explained.

"Well, I guess they're being honest..." Blaineley muttered. She turned to her two co-hosts and asked, "What about you two? Any regrets about not competing this season?"

"Nope," Duncan said, crossing his arms and shaking his head. "As I keep telling people, I won last season." He smirked when the audience erupted in cheers. "I saw no need to return."

"Dude, you could've won twice," Geoff pointed out.

Duncan slowly nodded. "True..." He shrugged. "I have a feeling I would've ended up like that one dude from this season who just quit."

"And you?" Blaineley asked, focusing her attention on Geoff.

"I'd way rather host this aftermath than suffer through more drama," Geoff explained, nodding.

"Care to demonstrate that with 'Truth or Hammer'?" Blaineley asked.

Duncan furrowed his eyebrows, confused. He had only been to the final Aftermath show the previous season, and hadn't watched any of the other ones. He did hear his Ma talk about some of the stuff that happened on those, and he thought she was joking around.

Geoff shrugged, but his face was a little nervous. "Sure, uh. Why not? Couldn't be happier." Suddenly, a hammer dropped down, causing Geoff to jump aside. "Whoa!"

Blaineley smirked, clearly pleased. "Nice moves, Geoff. Almost nicer than the moves Alejandro made on Bridgette."

Geoff murmured, "Happy, happy, happy! Happy, hap-" He let out more screams and jumped around as more things fell. Finally, he said, "Look at the time! Game over!" He nervously chuckled before continuing, "We better get on to our first segment, huh? We'll be spending time with everyone who's left the show since the season began."

"Well, all who we could find," Blaineley muttered.

Duncan smirked. "Two contestants aren't here. Ezekiel is just missing, and Todd just bailed on the game entirely."

"I think he moved out of the country," Geoff explained, returning to his spot on the couch.

"Whatever." Duncan shrugged.

"There have been non-confirmed sightings of Ezekiel, though," Blaineley said. "Here are a few clips that viewers have sent in."

They sat there, watching a few clips of Ezekiel's supposed sightings. During the last one, Ezekiel disappeared after appearing Chris' hot tub.

"I'm surprised Chris didn't scream like a girl," Duncan said, smirking. He was thinking of the clip where a camera busted Chris singing in the shower.

The audience laughed. Geoff chuckled and said, "Dude, Chris is so gonna get you for that."

Duncan looked dead at the camera and said, "Bring it on, McLean."

Continuing with the Ezekiel discussion, Blaineley said, "Camera shy? So not cool, Ezekiel."

"You just said 'Ezekiel' and 'cool' in the same sentence," Justin remarked. He laughed and said, "Hilarious!"

Geoff said, "Well, dude, this is kinda cool. And by 'cool', I mean 'mega creepy'."

Blaineley looked at the audience and said, "What do you all thnk? Real or fake?"

"Ghost!" Sadie said, prompting Katie to scream very loudly.

"Anyways..." Blaineley said. "On to our two guests for the show today!"

"Oh, yes, our guest today," Geoff said, emphasizing the word "guest". "Harold!"

"I'm also talking about our other guest," Blaineley said.

"We have another guest?" Geoff nervously asked.

"Oh, yes we do, and you know this girl very well. Surfer, vegetarian, blonde..."

"A-and who was that again?" Geoff asked.

Beth exclaimed, "Bridgette, your girlfriend! The one who made out on TV with Alejandro and then kissed a pole! Remember?"

"And let's bring her out!" Blaineley said.

"Before we do that," Duncan interjected. He really did feel bad for his friend, so he wanted to prolong Bridgette's entrance. "I know that everyone gets a video montage of them shown when they appear on this show... I never got one. I want one."

"I was just thinking about that earlier!" Geoff said. "And, we made one for you. Shall we roll it?"

"What?" Courtney exclaimed. "That's not fair! This isn't about you, Duncan!"

"Oh, you're just mad you never got one, either," Duncan retorted, turning to his girlfriend.

"You know, I thought of that, too," Geoff said, looking at the peanut gallery. "And, Beth, you didn't get one, either. Shall we play the ones we made for the two of you as well?"

Beth squealed. "I thought I'd never get one!"

Courtney shrugged, crossing her arms. "Why not."

"What?" Blaineley cried. "We have to introduce the real guests!"

"So, in order of elimination, we'll start with Courtney's, then play Beth's, then Duncan's," Geoff explained, completely ignoring his female co-host. "Play the videos!"

Duncan was honestly worried about Courtney's video. He was a bit surprised she willingly agreed to let them play the video. Then again, anything could happen on these shows, and he was sure that if she rejected the offer, Blaineley would become interested and suddenly start questioning her and such.

The video started out with Courtney's re-appearance, with him flirting with her. Her turning around was in slow-motion, and oddly enough had scary music attached to it. Duncan was a bit upset they played him falling over. That moment would haunt him for the rest of his life, he already knew it. He wasn't very fond of the rest of the montage; it showed a lot of the bad things that Courtney did, which included beating him in a few challenges, arguing with everyone, bringing up her lawyers and her unnecessary advantages, bringing out that list of problems that he had, yelling at him when she got voted off, and of course, the infamous clip of her saying, "Every King needs a Queen..."

He knew Courtney had changed so much, and that the show just really messed her up for a good minute there. He glanced over at Courtney when her clip ended, and she sadly staring at the screen. He sighed, realizing how much it really upset her. He figured she wanted to just get up and walk out of the studio and scream about how much she didn't want to be there. He admired he for not doing that. Then again, he was pretty much admiring himself, for he wanted to do the same thing.

After Beth's clip played, it was time for his clip to play. Duncan was rather excited to see what was displayed in his clip. He was rather pleased at how it started - him pranking Harold, helping win challenges, his acting... Then they just had to play those clips, those clips that made him incredibly angry. There was the one where he kissed Heather - blegh. He shuddered watching that clip. Then there was the one when he fell on top of Gwen... Oh, no. He didn't dare look in Courtney's direction. He knew about her fear of him leaving her for Gwen. His side of the story had been told - it was an accidental fall. The end. Yes, it looked bad, but he felt so awkward when it happened! Then there were some clips of some and Courtney...

He sighed, looking away from the video. He surely wasn't expecting clips like that. He pursed his lips slightly, realizing he was kind of stupid for expecting awesome clips of him. At least they showed the clip of him winning. That moment would forever be imprinted in his mind. He won! He suffered two summers of that shit!

"Well, those were certainly great, huh?" Geoff asked once the clips had ended.

"I'm not so sure Mr. Winner here liked them so much..." Blaineley said, carefully observing Duncan.

Duncan glared at Blaineley. "Today is not the time to focus on me." He paused before adding, "Apart from that minute or so. Now, it's time to bring out our first contestant... Oh, Doris!"

The rest of the Aftermath wasn't anything special. Yep, they got to interview Harold, where Duncan got to throw a few more teases at him. It took a few minutes to convince Bridgette to come out of her dressing room, but she finally came out and sang a song to Geoff, who couldn't be mad at Bridgette any longer. Blaineley seemed upset by the whole ordeal, and wanted Geoff and Bridgette to physically fight one-another.

Bridgette and Geoff.

Fighting.

Duncan couldn't process that, and he knew Geoff couldn't, either, for the party boy was yelling heavily at Blaineley. Everyone in the peanut gallery watched Geoff and Blaineley storm off the stage, yelling at each other. Duncan just stared into the camera before shrugging. It was time to wrap up the show, anyway.

"Well, that was interesting," he muttered. "Anyways, I'm Duncan. The other two people, Geoff and Idiot Crazy Bitch, just walked off the stage. See you next time!"

He knew he'd be getting a mouthful about continuously calling Blaineley a "bitch". He knew his Ma will probably ask him to sit down so they could talk, his Pa would try to sneak the problem into the conversations, and he was almost positive he'd hear about on TV.

But who cares.

As soon as the director yelled "CUT!", Duncan bolted off the couch and ran backstage. He was so tired of this stupid show. It would have been a whole lot better if Blaineley wasn't there! Oh, how he despised that woman, with her fake blonde hair and her ugly face and-

"Duncan?"

He immediately stopped in his tracks. He let out a sigh, hoping to let out a bit of steam before talking to anyone. His girlfriend had just spoken to him. He didn't even realize anyone had followed him. He slowly turned around and saw Courtney standing there, her facial expression almost scared. "What's up?" he softly asked.

"This sucked," she muttered, crossing her arms.

He nodded. "It really did."

"How dare they show those videos of us! I can't believe they would do such a thing!"

"Really?" he honestly asked.

"Yes! Were you not upset at the videos of us?"

"Oh, I was. But, babe-"

"To think that Geoff actually came up with that... I was actually excited for a moment!"

"Hey-"

"Actually, I know Geoff wouldn't do that to us. Not after what he went through. It's those fucking producers. And Chris! Oh, I bet he had something to do with it..."

"Courtney!"

"What?"

"I was going to say, this is Total Drama." He paused, letting the name sink in. When she didn't seem phased, he continued, "Total Drama. As in... Too much drama. All this unnecessary drama."

"They still didn't need to show that!" she exclaimed, the tears finally brimming along the edges of her eyes. "Thanks to this show, I'll probably be known for the rest of my life as Canada's biggest teenage bitch! I can't believe they would do this to me!"

"Look, my video wasn't the best, either," he softly said.

She sniffed, wiping at her eyes. "I know," she softly said. "And you deserved a better video, too. Beth had a good one!"

"We were the most dysfunctional couple on the show," he softly said, smiling. "Of course we're going to have videos that aren't the best."

"We're not dysfunctional?" she quietly teased, softly smiling at him.

He chuckled, shrugging. "Not entirely. Not as much as we were on the show."

She nodded. She let out a sigh, rubbing her forehead. "Only three more of these..."

"Four," he muttered, holding up four fingers.

"What? Four? Why?"

"Three more Aftermath specials, and then a finale special."

She groaned, her face clearly upset. "Damn it!"

"I should start a Facebook petition..." he murmured, earning a questioning gaze from his girlfriend. "I want Blaineley out. I bet I could get a lot of people to join."

"I'll be the first... second person," she muttered, crossing her arms and nodding. She then smirked at her boyfriend and said, "Your family's not gonna be happy with you, after the way you treated her."

He shrugged, not seeming phased. "I don't care. She's a bitch-"

"But that's doesn't mean you have to call her one every chance you get," she explained.

He shrugged once more. "I know. It was fun, though."

"I bet your Dad will like hearing that..."

"He'll be fine."

She smiled at her boyfriend. "So, did you drive here?"

He shook his head. "The family gathered at Nonna's once more to watch this, so Ma dropped me off before heading over there. Did you drive?"

She nodded. "I don't think Mom and Dad watched, though. I'd be surprised if they did, anyway."

He nodded. He then glanced at his watch and muttered, "I should probably head outside..."

"I'll come with...?"

He nodded, reaching out for her to grab his hand. Once she did so, they started walking. Instead of walking towards the front, they were going towards the back of the studio, which confused Courtney.

"Why are we going this way?"

"To avoid everyone."

She nodded. "So, um..." She smiled softly before quietly saying, "Eight more days."

He squeezed hand, now also smiling. "Yep. Have you started to pack?"

She nodded. "A lot of my stuff is already packed. I need to pick up a few more boxes tomorrow."

"I've got the majority of my things packed, too."

"Well, I mean... If we're getting technical, then I've got maybe sixty percent of my things packed."

"Ninety."

"Ninety?"

He nodded as they stepped outside. "I've got nothing better to do now that my Ma insists I stay home all day."

"Does that suck?"

"Nah. At least Michelle and Brian have been able to come over. You can come over if you want, too."

"Mom says a week apart won't hurt us."

"So you're pretty much 'grounded', too?"

"Something like that. As long as I'm home when they're home, they're happy."

He nodded. He let out a sigh as he saw his Ma parked in the street. "Well, babe..."

"I'll call you," she softly said, smiling at him. "Does your family stay up late?"

"Uhh... I mean, no one will be home tonight..."

"Perfect."

He stared at her, confused. He didn't utter a word as he studied her face. The look she was giving him... Playful. Seductive. She was going to call him, tonight most likely, and it was a good thing nobody would be home...

Oh, his pants were feeling a bit tighter at this point.

"Well, damn, babe," he quietly said, leaning close to her. "Will your parents be home tonight?"

"My walls are thick," she quietly said, winking at him. "Plus, I sleep upstairs, and my parents sleep downstairs, on the other side of the house."

"You better scream my name," he huskily said in her ear.

"Oh, I'll be screaming," she whispered in his ear. "I've got a new toy I've been meaning to try out..."

She continued to seductively smirk at him as his Mom honked the horn of her car. He glared at her, though his eyes held a mischievous glint to them. "You better be glad my Ma's here."

"Or what?"

He glared at her. "Let's just say I wouldn't wait to make you scream."

"In front of everyone?" she asked, mocking shock.

He started walking away from her. He winked and said, "Oh, I love you, babe. You and your sexy, smartass attitude."

She winked, waving slightly at him. "I'll dress up pretty just for you."

"I won't." He winked at her and said, "I'll wear nothing. Just for you."

"Oh, that will eventually happen to me, too."

"Damn it!" he exclaimed, letting out a groan. "You keep throwing these replies at me!"

"You know, you can always walk away..."

He let out another groan and actually turned around, quickly walking away from his girlfriend. He was seriously getting turned on, and he wasn't too pleased about that since he was about to get in his Mom's car.

"I love you!" Courtney exclaimed.

"Yeah, yeah," Duncan murmured. He smirked before exclaiming, "Love ya, too!"
