First off, I would like to sincerely apologize for last week's lack of update. I was extremely busy that weekend, especially on Sunday, which is usually my writing day. On that day, I had made plans to go to the movies with my twin sister and our friend.....we went to go see the Princess and the That was my third time going to go see that movie. It was for research purposes.....yeah...just research.....
On a second note, HAPPY SUPER BOWL DAY! GO SAINTS! I swear, the only reason they've made it this year is because of the Princess and the Frog. Really, is it any concidence that a hit Disney movie that takes place in New Orleans comes out this year and this is the year that New Orleans Saints make to the Super Bowl for the first time ever? CONSPIRACY I TELL YOU! The Disney company has rigged the games! Lol, just kidding, it I still think the movie is good luck charm for New Orleans.
I would like to thank everyone who has reviewed for the story. Can't tell you how much I love reading all your reviews. Here's a some replies for a couple of them:
RebelliousdreameR: Thank you for the huge compliment about my story being fun to read. That really meant a lot. I've read other cross-over stories that are similar to the ones you've described (even wrote one in my early years of fanfiction writing) and understand how you feel. It's really no fun having to write a story like that- its fun trying to think of entertaining ways to make the Princess and the Frog story fit in the Total Drama universe. Lol, I'm glad you enjoy the Justin/Duncan thing. I always laugh while imagining and typing Now, as for why Courtney got changed into a spider……I'm sorry, but I can't tell you. You'll just have to wait and read on!^^
Princess Tikal Calafiore: That's my favorite quote from the movie as well. I just couldn't leave it out. Thank you for the scene suggestion. I already have the scene planned out. It's a tad more…er…stickier…than the one you suggested. However, it was still a really good idea.^^
CarmillaD: I noticed as well. This scene is probably one of my all-time favorites from all the Disney movies. I'm really glad you liked all the changes I made like the Chris biography (he's made to cause pain). Haha, I'm really not sure how Duncan is going to survive my story. I really should have made him turn into a cockroach…then at least he'd have a better rate of Yeah, I know that tarantula venom isn't really deadly, but Courtney never said anything otherwise when Harold and Duncan stated that so I'm guessing she believed it.
Now on with the story!
Courtney let out a savage, enraged scream that would have even made Chief wet himself in fear, and leaped, using her eight long legs as springs, from the ground straight onto the dresser top. Knowing that his life was about to be abruptly cut short, Duncan turned and desperately began to scurry away as fast as all eight legs could carry him.
He didn't get very far.
"AARRHH!" Courtney unleashed an animalistic screech and flung herself at Duncan's retreating backside. Duncan gave an embarrassingly high pitched shriek of fear as the female tarantula collided into with enough force to knock both of them, tangled together in a mass of sixteen spider legs, straight off the dresser and onto the floor. As dazed as Duncan was from the fall, Courtney, probably fueled by her undying, vengeful rage, seemed utterly unaffected. With fangs clenched and eyes narrowed in a lethal glare, Courtney managed grab hold of Duncan before the pathetic delinquent could crawl away, and wrapped her front legs around his throat in a death grip.
"P-Princess…erk…" Duncan choked, eyeballs almost popping out of his skull as the ballistic, raging spider-girl continued to strangle the living daylights out of him. "Can't…breath…"
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?" spat Courtney, half-crazed with rage as she shook a gagging Duncan and squeezed him tighter with every infuriated syllable.
"What? Fangs…"-choke-"look…good…on…yo-ACK!"
Duncan's eight legs flailed painfully in the air as Courtney lifted him up by his throat and growled in his face. "Come..on...." the black and tan tarantula desperately tried to choke out any words that could possibly calm this hell-like inferno of indescribable rage radiating from the berserking warrioress formerly known as Courtney. "You don't really…want…to kill me…do you?"
"Female spiders kill their mates all the time! And for good reason too!"
Despite the ominous presence of death hovering over him, Duncan's eyes immediately lit up at her words.
"Mates, uh?"
For a guy that was being strangled to death by a ticked off girlfriend, Duncan actually looked pretty pleased.
"Oh, oh, oh…" Duncan chuckled in a naughty manner and, smirking smugly, said, "I know where this is headed!" He wrapped his long front legs around Courtney's waist and actually pulled the shocked female tarantula closer. The delinquent moved his shoulders up and down in a suggestive manner as he said in lustful tones, "Never knew you liked it rough Princess, but, by all means, continue."
Duncan's perverted statements were enough to snap Courtney out of her blood-thirty cloud of rage. Looking utterly appalled, Courtney, with a gag of disgust, released her vice-strong grip from Duncan's neck and roughly pushed the perverted delinquent away.
"Eew! I can't believe you said that, you perverted, insensitive ogre!" Courtney snapped, hastily wiping her front legs clean on her chest as if Duncan had been infected by some repulsive, contagious germ.
Duncan, who had been pushed to the floor, lifted himself up with four of his legs, and gazed towards Courtney, smirk still pasted on his face and blue eyes gleaming with laughter. "You know you wanted it."
"Not on your life!" Courtney retorted. She turned away from Duncan and found herself staring back into the fallen mirror. Transfixed by the strange reflection gazing back at her, Courtney stood a few steps closer until she was able to press her two front legs against the glass surface.
"What did you do to me?" she repeated, anger melting into despair as she stared at what she had become.
Though she was a tarantula just like Duncan, the two looked quite different. Courtney was slightly smaller, and her eight legs were slightly thinner and more fragile looking. She was the same brown color as her hair, though her waist and a spot at the center of her back was the same light purple the sweater she usually wore. On each of her eight legs, besides the first two, there was a band of olive green. Around her front legs were bands of white. Courtney bared her teeth into the mirror and let out a shriek of horror, clamping her front legs over her mouth, when she saw fangs sticking out.
"I looked revolting!" Courtney wailed as she turned around, unable to look at her reflection any long. She looked down at her transformed body and gasped when a realization dawn over her. "And I'm naked!" She cried, trying to cover her exposed body with her front legs.
"Well, you're clothes are over there." Duncan pointed out, gesturing towards the pile of clothes a few feet away. "But I don't think they'll be much help." Suddenly a thought floated across Duncan's mind.
"Hey, whatever happened to my clothes?"
Justin, now wearing Duncan's clothes, stared at his Duncan-ified reflection in a body-size mirror in Heather's room. A tear of sorrow fell down his once beautiful face as the model pitifully sobbed.
"I feel so ugly!"
"STOP BLUBBERING AND LOOK FOR THAT SPIDER!"
"Who cares!" Courtney angrily interjected, glaring at Duncan while still trying in vain to cover her self. "Look at me!" She cried, voice rising to a high panicked screech. "I have eight legs! Four eyes!" she pulled on her face. "And I'm covered in hair…" Courtney moaned in self-pity and disgust, shuddering as she listed all the horrific effects of the transformation. "And I have fangs!"
Courtney couldn't take it anymore and threw her front legs over her face. "Oooohhhh, I can't believe this is happening to me!"
Duncan made a beeline towards her and placed a front leg on her shoulder. "Come on, Princess," he said, trying to comfort her. "It's not that bad. I mean, as far as hairy, hideous tarantulas go, you don't look…uh…that….repulsive?"
The mohawked spider immediately took a fearful step back when Courtney lowered her front legs away from her face and shot him a glare of pure venom.
"You…you…you…" growled Courtney as her front legs began to curl into fists. The transformed girl seemed to be fighting for self-control as she stomped her eight legs towards Duncan. She lifted a shaking front leg and poked it in Duncan's black chest.
"You better change me back this instant!" Courtney threatened. "Or so help me, I'll finish what I started two minutes ago!"
"Fine, just give me a minute to pull out my copy of Idiot's Guide to Voodoo Transformation." Duncan sarcastically replied. "Look, princess, don't you think that if I knew how to change you back, I'd have changed myself back by now?"
"Then what are we going to do?" demanded Courtney, stretching her eight legs upward until she was looming over Duncan. "There's no way I'm going to spend the rest of my life like this!"
"Neither am I." Duncan replied, making calming gestures with his front legs. "Listen we'll just go tell the rest of the campers about Heather's plot and have them make her change us back." He started to crawl towards the doorway.
Courtney found herself following him. "Do you really think that any of the campers are going to believe any of this?" She questioned.
Duncan gave her a backwards glance, eyelids half closed and smirking. "What's not to believe when the eight-legged, talking evidence is right in front of you?"
If only it were that simple.
The spider couple, after sneaking down the hallway and watching out for any sign of Heather and Justin, they managed to find a nice little hiding spot behind a tall, potted plant. For about thirty minutes, they waited in an uncomfortable (and rather icy on Courtney's side) silence until at last they heard a stampede of footsteps. Now that it was late evening, all the contestants were coming back into their rooms to relax before the dinner call.
"Who are we going to try first?" Courtney asked when the last of the hotel doors slammed shut and the hallway was silent once more.
"Geoff and DJ," was Duncan's immediate answer. No surprise since the three was a close trio on the show.
"I think we should tell Bridgette." Courtney countered.
"Why Malibu?"
"Because she's sensible and the others will believe her."
"Not to mention she's your only friend on the show." Duncan silently added. "Fine, we'll go to Geoff's room first. Bridgette will probably be with him."
Bridgette and Geoff were definitely together when Duncan and Courtney found them in Geoff's room….on the bed…..making out….as always. The love-struck, hormone-crazed couple were so focused on one another that they didn't notice the tarantulas that squeezed underneath the door and crawled towards the bed.
"Oh for goodness sake, do they ever stop?" Courtney cried, eyeing their public display of affection with obvious disgust.
"Giving you any ideas, Princess?" Duncan smoothly hinted, raising and lowering his eyebrow suggestively.
"Just get his attention, already!" the brown and purple spider snapped annoyedly.
"Fine." Duncan shrugged and lifted his face up and started to yell up at the bed. "Hey Geoff! Lips off surfer girl and look down!"
Geoff, unable to hear Duncan through the sound of his and his girlfriend's lips sucking on each other, just continued making out.
Duncan gritted his teeth and, making a mental note to have a serious talk (one that involved some super glue and a lamppost) with Geoff after all this was over, climbed up the bed sheet. When he reached the top of the bed spread, he saw that Bridgette and Geoff were wrapped in each other's arms and that he was facing Geoff's back.
"DUDE!" Duncan yelled, cupping his front legs around his mouth to be louder. He felt the sheets beneath him tug as Courtney climbed up behind him.
"Bridgette! It's me, Courtney!" she yelled.
Bridgetter moaned in pleasure and deepened her kiss with Geoff.
Duncan and Courtney looked at each other, eyes narrowed in annoyance. In mutual agreement, the two tarantulas turned back to their friends and began a hollering fest, waving their legs up in the air to get their attention.
"UNLOCK LIPS THIS INSTANT!"
"YO MALIBU! PARTY FOR BRAINS! THERE'S TWO TARANTULAS TALKING TO YOU DOWN HERE!"
"HELLO?"
"DON'T MAKE ME BITE YOU!"
The couple, oblivious to everything, continued to passionately make out, lost in their own lovey-dovey world.
Courtney growled in frustration. "This is ridiculous!" Even Duncan, who usually had no problem with making out, was beginning to wear thin on patience.
"Let's just go find someone else. Like DJ, he likes animals." He suggested, raising his voice over the nauseating sound of lip sucking. "These two aren't hearing us."
Courtney curled her front legs into fist and growled. "Well let them hear this!" She threw back her head and let out a glass-shattering, angry scream.
At that second, Geoff and Bridgette rolled over, landing right on top of Duncan and Courtney.
Bridgette unlocked her lips from Geoff's and looked up with a surprised expression on her face. She looked around the room and asked, "Geoff, did you hear something?"
Geoff absent-mindedly scratched the back of his blonde head. "No, babes, did you?"
The kind surfer girl squint her green eyes in thought. "I could have sworn I heard Courtney and Duncan." She then shrugged her shoulders. "I was probably just hearing things."
There was a moment of silence. Then…
"Wanna make out some more?" Geoff asked.
Bridgette happily threw her arms around Geoff's neck and pressed her lips to his- thus a new makeup session began. The two rolled back over to their original positions and revealed a slightly squashed and extremely pissed off Duncan and Courtney.
"DJ's room?" Duncan asked.
"DJ's room." Courtney comfirmed.
Five minutes later, a screaming DJ literally ran out of his room, not even bothering to open the door, but instead running straight through it, leaving a DJ-sized gaping hole in the framework. Two tarantulas popped their heads through the large hole in the door, and watched, with shocked expressions on their faces, as DJ ran down the hallway, wildly waving his arms in the air in fear and screaming about giant, scary spiders.
"Well, that went well." Duncan dryly commented.
"Let's try the next room." Courtney suggested.
The next room, which was Beth's and Lindsay's, did not end any better. The two girls didn't even give Duncan and Courtney a chance to talk before they started screaming; their two boyfriends, Tyler and Brandy, immediately burst into the room, each wielding a weapon of choice- Tyler with a baseball bat and Brandy with a tennis racket- to try and squish the tarantulas. Good thing the two losers tripped over their own two feet which gave Duncan and Courtney a chance to escape.
Gwen and Trent weren't in their rooms; they didn't even bother going into LeShawna's since her biggest fear was spiders, and the rest of the contestants had rooms on another floor. However, there was one last door, beside's Heather's, that they hadn't tried.
"No way. I'm not doing it." Duncan said defiantly, crossing his front legs over his chest as they stood in front of the doorway in question.
"Not doing what?" Courtney asked, giving him a sideways glance as she crawled towards the towering doorway.
"Going into that room and asking THAT person for help." Duncan snapped, blue eyes glaring daggers at the door as if it were the person himself. "I may be a three inch tall tarantula, but I still have my pride!"
"Oh please," Courtney rolled her eyes at his pathetic little macho speech. "Who is in there that you have such a grudge with, that you're willing to stay put as a spider rather than ask for help?"
"Harold!"
Yes, I added some extra stuff that isn't in the movie, but when I first came up with the idea for the story, these scenes were first ones I came up with, and I didn't want to get rid of them. Duncan and Courtney will end up the wilderness by the end of the next chapter so never fear. I can't wait to bring in the replacement for Louis. So far, no body has guessed the right answer for who will play Louis in the story. He IS a character from the show. Somebody guessed the bear, but that isn't it. Anywho, hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. Look out for next week's!^^ Please read and review!
