Author's Notes: *sighs* Having weeks of college and procrastinate (trust me when I say that I do not want this story to end any more than you readers do), we have come to the end of "The Princess and the Spider." There will be one last bonus chapter, but as for the story itself, this is the end. This entire thing has been such a joy to write, combining two of some of my favorite things (Disney's the Princess and the Frog and the Total Drama Series) in the world to create a great story which, I dearly hope, has become a unique tale in its own right even if it is technically a crossover.

There are so many people to thank that have helped get me through this story. First and foremost will always be my twin sister and beloved best friend, Kacey. She is always there to listen to my strange story ideas to be both an adviser and critic. Not only that, but she is kind enough to read over any new chapters, toss over a few wonderful plot ideas, and fix the spelling and grammar mistakes that I frequently make while typing the first draft of any chapter. She is the Katie to my Sadie and a partner that rises above all others in loyalty and one that I will always keep by my side in the years to come.

And then of course, there are the many reviewers and readers. WE MADE IT TO 200 REVIEWS! You guys rock so much! Especially those who have read and reviewed this story from the very beginning such as CarmdillaD, Princess Absahail, Mr. Panama Red, LuckyNumber18, and so many more. There are far too many for me to list, but I want every single one of you to know that I truly appreciate all you guys have done. Your reviews are what me updating this story as much as I did.

For all the DxC fans who has asked whether I shall continue to write more DxC stories. I do plan on writing more DxC material though a lot of it may just be oneshots or two-shots. However, I will be co-writing a bunch of DxC fairy tales with another fellow DxC writer and good friend edwardandbella4evah author of Prinzessin. I will ALWAYS support DxC, but the next long story I'm writing will actually be a Courtney/Harold story. It will be the How To Train Your Dragon/Total Drama crossover story with Harold playing Hiccup, Courtney as Astrid, and...yes…Duncan as Toothless. God help me on that one. I might have to wait until I'm done co-writing the DxC fairy tale stories to start posting the story up but when I start it I hope to make it as entertaining and likeable as this story was to you guys.

But keep up supporting DxC you guys as well as Duncan and Courtney as individual characters. The characters are what make the story and if you can't keep the characters likeable and relate-able to the audience then your story's pretty much gone. But keep them true to their personality and allowed them to show you where the story needs to run and not force it out.

Now, without further ado, I present the conclusion of the The Princess and the Spider….

The season final ceremony had, eventually, gone on.

Minutes after the spectacular tarantula-to-teen transformation, Billy, the ever so obedient intern, found an extra camera so that the show could continue shooting. And it did. But not before Chris spent a good couple of minutes trying to strangle the unfortunate intern, angrily screaming out profanities and death threats and demanding why the hell hadn't Tommy…er…Bobby…Billy…what's-his-name…brought the camera in sooner, when there had been some REAL ratings-boosting action! It had taken both Eva and DJ to pull the enraged host off the blonde intern.

But other than that the show had gone on without a hitch and Duncan had, after Chris had been threatened by a bear, rabbit, mob of teens, and Courtney wielding a lamp post, finally received his million dollar prize. The season final was a complete success though for the next couple of days, Chris received quite a few phone calls and letters from fans and executives wondering why in the world were Duncan and Courtney wearing fairy tale costumes, why was there a bear and rabbit with them, why was the stage a complete mess, and why did all the contestants looked as though they had been through a tornado?

That was just some of the letters and phone calls. The rest and majority of them just wanted to know whether there would be Princess Courtney and Prince Duncan dolls for sell afterwards. And there were- much to Courtney's delight and Duncan's absolute horror. But that's a story for another day.

The moment the ceremony was done being filmed Geoff had stood up and announced that it was time for a celebration party.

"Cause, bro, like doesn't every fairy tale end in a party?" the blonde partier cheerfully inquired.

"Not really." Noah bluntly said.

"Most end in weddings." Beth said giggling.

Geoff somehow slipped in between Duncan and Courtney, placing an arm around both their shoulders, smiling brightly. "Really? AWESOME! Congrats dude and dudette! Why did you tell us sooner? I'm the best man right?"

Everyone erupted in laughter as the former tarantula couple's faces burned a crimson red.

"Not in this fairy tale!" Courtney huffed in her usual haughty fashion. However she smirked and cast a glance over at Duncan, dark eyes twinkling with a secret thought.

"At least…not quite yet."

So the benches were moved, tables had been put out, and the party was in full swing at the set. There was music, food, and much clatter and gossip flying around about what all had happened over the last couple of days. Everyone wanted to know the full story. Duncan, Courtney, and Harold were the heroes of the hour. The contestants flocked around them, demanding to hear all that had taken place.

Harold loved every second of it. When Courtney and Duncan had snuck off to be left alone for a while, the red-headed nerd had happily taken over as chief story teller.

"So then Duncan and Courtney were attacked by a shark!" Beth gasped, gazing at Harold with unmistakable adoration. Brady was forgotten as she listened to the enthralling tale.

Finally receiving all the attention he crazed, Harold was definitely in his element. "Not just one shark, but THREE!" The geek said, grateful that he had been the first person that Duncan and Courtney had told the whole story to.

Suddenly Katie and Sadie ran up towards the group of admirers and excitedly began to gush, bobbing their heads as they talked.

"Like is it true?" Sadie asked.

"We've just heard!" continued Katie.

"Is what true, fair ladies?" Harold asked.

"Like we just totally heard!"

"That you saved Duncan from some of Heather's nasty shadow minions!"

"With only a flashlight and a yoyo!"

"That's so amazing!"

"Like totally amazing!"

Harold's jaw dropped in confusion as the two girls continued to chatter up a storm about his supposed heroics. Several other contestants heard and shuffled forwards, peering at the nerd with curious eyes.

"Wow, is that true, Harold?" Cody asked, staring in disbelief at his friend. Surely it couldn't. But then again, the techno-geek thought, stranger things had happened these last few days.

Harold opened his mouth to deny the claim, fearing that if Duncan heard the false story then he would return back to treating Harold like a punching bag. However, Harold looked over the heads of the gathered crowd and caught sight of Duncan staring at him from one of the tables. The delinquent was frowning with an unreadable expression on his face. Harold gulped and felt chills of fear go down his spine. Had the former bully already heard?

A tense, fearful moment passed for Harold when he was suddenly hit by a sight that shocked him more than anything he had seen so far.

Duncan's face broke into a grin and the delinquent winked a teal eye at the nerd.

"So Harold, is it true?" Tyler repeated the question that Cody had asked.

Harold broke out of his shocked stupor and looked back the expectant faces tilted up at him. He gave an owlish blink.

"…Yes," Harold finally answered. A large smile spread across his freckled face as he continued in more confident tones. "I did save him! Right before he went to go rescue Courtney from Heather!" There were instantly gasps of surprise and admiration that rippled through the crowd.

"Oh, that's so brave, Harry!" Lindsay happily cried.

"Awesome job, Mister H-bomb!" Tyler said high-fiving the geek.

Harold's happiness was complete when LeShawna rushed up and swept him into a bone-crushing hug, gushing. "Oooh, I knew my sugar baby was a hero!"

"Tell us what happened!" Beth begged and several others took up the call, looking up at Harold with keen interest and new-found respect.

Chest puffed out with pride, the geek instantly launched into an epic tale, imaginatively making up stuff as he went along.

"So there I was, walking down the hallway, looking for any sign of my comrades, Duncan and Courtney, when suddenly I hear the sound of Duncan wailing…."

Harold was instantly pelted in the head by a well-thrown rock.

"…Er…I mean…I hear him growling! Yeah, growling! Locked in a fight with one of the beautiful Heather's evil shadow minions. Well, I grab my yoyo and rush forward with a mighty battle cry…"

From a white-clothed table a short distance away, Duncan gave a snort of mild amusement at hearing Harold's farfetched tale.

"I saw that." Across the table, Courtney was staring at Duncan with a knowing smile on her face. The couple was back into their regular clothes once again, having changed before the party.

"Saw what princess?" Duncan asked, quickly turning away from the direction of Harold and his group of admirers to pretend to have been looking at something else.

"You're the one that spread that rumor, weren't you?" The quick-witted brunette announced, staring at her boyfriend in stunned, but happy bewilderment.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Duncan sniffed airily, trying to appear cool and unconcerned. Courtney wasn't fooled.

"Oh, Duncan, don't lie. Admit it- you're just as grateful to Harold as I am." Courtney lectured, There's no shame in doing something nice for a friend, you know."

Duncan cocked his eyebrow in surprise. "Friend?"

Courtney looked as if she couldn't quite believe it herself.

"Yes." She finally said, looking Duncan in the eyes and grinning. "Friend."

Courtney was happy to see Duncan's softer side showing. She was relieved that the feuding between her, Duncan, and Harold was over. Well, not quite completely over. She was positive that there would definitely be more fights and arguments and, in Harold's and Duncan's case, pranks in the future. But after their entire adventure with magic and voodoo, it was impossible for the three former enemies to not hold a considerable amount of respect and fondness for the other.

Under Courtney's searching gaze, Duncan gave an embarrassed scowl and rolled his eyes in defeat.

"Fine…you win. I owed the nerdling and thought this," He gestured towards the Harold's growing group of fans, "was the best way to get him his own happily ever after and all that trash. Just don't go spreading it around okay?"

Courtney flashed him her most winsome smile. "Don't worry, I promise."

Duncan frowned and deadpanned. "I don't believe you. You said the same thing about the DJ and Bunny incident back in season one." His suspicious expression melted into bewilderment when Courtney leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek.

"Believe me now?" Courtney sweetly asked, batting her eyelashes.

"Not at all, Princess," Duncan replied with a satisfied smirk, "Though you can try to convince me one more time just to make sure." He chuckled when Courtney punched him in the shoulder.

"It looks like everyone is starting to get their happily ever after." Courtney observed as she and Duncan gazed around the party at all their friends.

"I can't believe it!" DJ cried, sitting a couple tables over. He sniffling and leaking tears of happiness as he exclaimed, "Thanks to Courtney and Duncan, I don't just have one Bunny! I HAVE TWO!" Smiling brightly, he hugged his two beloved pets close.

In one hand was a very happy Bunneh, finally reunited with his master, and in other hand was a very unhappy Bunnie, who looked ready to murder the boy rabbit beside her.

Wrapped in DJ's embrace, Bunneh squirmed closer to the pretty girl bunny. "Hehe, since I'm sticking around, there'll be plenty of time for you and I to get a little closer." He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and leaned closer to the revolted looking Bunnie. "How's that sound to you, Sweetears?"

Bunnie gave Bunneh an expression reserved only for filth and promptly kicked her obnoxious bunny companion in his...unmentionables.

Both Duncan and Courtney winced and moaned as Bunneh's shrilly scream of pain filled the air. Despite being human again, the couple still found that they could understand Bunneh and Molotov quite perfectly.

"That's gotta hurt." Duncan commented looking particularly effected. He, of all people, was familiar with such pain.

From another table, Molotov gave a deep, amused chuckle. "Da to that, Bratka!"

Ezekiel, who was sitting next to the giant brown bear, heard only rumbling growls from the Russian bear. With a slightly panicked expression look on his pimpled face, Ezekiel squeakily scooted his chair a couple inches away from the bear.

"Well," Courtney said slightly sheepishly as she grinned over at Duncan which he warmly returned, "Some of us are getting happily ever afters at least."

The couple's comfortably cozy moment was ruined as Chris shouted over at them a few feet away.

"Can you two keep it down? I'm making a business deal here!" Chris yelled, holding a hand over the cell phone speaker. He removed the hand and started speaking in a falsely pleasant tones into the phone. "Now where were we? Oh yes…look I'm calling with this totally awesome movie pitch. It goes like this… a guy gets turned into a spider by some wicked voodoo and has to kiss a princess to change back…you still with me? Okay, so he finds a girl and kisses her and…wait for it….she gets turned into a spider too! Then the movie has them go on a wilderness adventure, they meet animal friends, fall in love, and then break the spell. Totally awesome, right? Gonna make some big bucks, I'm telling ya! So what do you say? Do we have a movie?"

Duncan and Courtney frowned and shot each other annoyed glances as Chris listened to producer's answer. Figures the creep would try to steal their adventure and make it into a money-making scam. Their eyebrows lifted in surprise when the handsome host's expression went from pleased to enrage.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE IDEA'S ALREADY BEEN DONE?" Chris hollered into the cell phone. His face was turning a very unpleasant shade of red. "FROGS? THEY USED FROGS? WHAT KIND OF CLIQUE MOVE IS THAT! GET ME ON THE PHONE WITH THIS JOHN LASSETOR WISEGUY! WE'LL SEE WHO'S THE BETTER FILMMAKER HERE!"

Chris found himself yelling at midair when Izzy suddenly whooped down, cackling like a mad women, and snatched up his cell phone. She landed on the snack table on all fours, and leapt over a very surprised Harold and his group of admirers.

"Get back here, Izzy!" Chris yelled, shaking a fist at the crazy redhead.

"NEVER!" Izzy screamed in a Zelda like manner. She took out the phone and began to sprout out endless chatter. "Oooh, you're a movie producer? Well Madame Juju has hundreds of movie ideas! Oh, Oh! Do a movie that has the Titanic guy alive and he's in a world where there's some weird police that like totally go into people's dreams! But they're not normal dreams! They're like a dream within a dream! Or a dream within a dream within a dream within a nightmare where everything's all cool and like floaty and…." Izzy frowned when only a long beep answered her indicating that the producer had hung up. "Wow, he must be totally in a hurry to make my film. HOLLYWOOD HERE I COME!" With a happy shout, Izzy threw the cell phone in the air and leapt away to cause more mayhem.

The cell phone landed in the middle of the flaming barbecue pit where Chef was grilling some steaks for the teens. Whistling a cheerful tune through the gap his teeth, Chef flipped over the steaks as well as a now very scorched cell phone.

Chris let out a wail of agony and angrily tore at his raven-black hair in frustration. Was nothing ever going to go right for him?

"My happily ever after is now complete." Duncan said with a blissful sigh as he and Courtney shared a laugh at Chris' misfortune. Just the undertone of hopelessness and sorrow in Chris's wails made the night a little more wonderful each time Duncan heard it.

A high-pitched screeched filled the air for a moment as Trent grabbed hold of the microphone on stage. Trent had gathered together a makeshift band to provide musical entertainment for the party; Cody was settled next to the keyboard, flashing a gap-toothed smile over at Gwen, who at taken a place by the drum set and looked like she was wondering why the hell she had agreed to this idea in the first place. Trent had his guitar tuned and ready, strapped around his neck, as he spoke into the microphone to speak with the contestants.

"Hey everybody, how's the party going?"

Trent was answered by several loud cheers from the contestants below, loudest coming from Geoff, Izzy, and Owen.

"Let's give a big cheer for the heroes of the hour," Trent continued, waving a hand towards the tables where Duncan, Courtney, and Harold sat.

"Heroes and heroine!" Courtney corrected, though her voice was lost in the midst of the roaring cheers and applause of the contestants around her. She gave up and smiled, her cheeks flushed pink with pride and happiness. Duncan merely smirked and lazily waved a hand of acknowledgement. Harold had his chest puffed out in pride and gave an elegant bow.

"You guys made this season final one that we won't forget. Now that's said, let's get this after party started with some killer tunes." Trent said. He pulled his guitar from his back and settled it in front of him. He stroked a string, allowing a sweet note to echo through air. As the audience fell silent, Trent spoke one last time.

"This is a new song that I wrote." Trent said, smiling the first real smile in weeks, "I'd like to dedicate it to a special girl."

Behind the drums, Gwen's sour expression melted into a smile. Trent caught her eye and winked.

Catching a nod from Trent, Cody keyed in a couple notes on the keyboard before the raven-haired musician opened his mouth and began to sing.

"Oooh, for the way you changed my plans. For being the perfect distraction. For the way you took the idea that I had of everything that I wanted to have and made me see there was something missing…oh yeah…"

As Trent sang, the girls in the audience (mostly Sadie, Katie, and Beth) were memorized by his lovely voice (not to mention the handsome singer). However, Trent's eyes were focused solely on the teal-haired girl on the drums. Gwen pretended not the notice, though the pleased smile and red blush on her pale cheeks told everyone else otherwise.

"For the ending of my first begin," sang Trent. He leaned against Cody's shoulder and the two boys smoothly sang together. "Oh yeah, yeah…Oh yeah, yeah…"

Trent then sang alone. "For the rare and unexpected friend."

"Oh yeah, yeah…Oh yeah, yeah…" sang Bunneh and Molotov from the audience.

"For the way, you're something that I never choose," Trent sang, "But at the same time, something I don't wanna lose and never wanna be without ever again!"

"Ooooohhhh…"

"You're the best thing I never knew I needed," Trent's enchanting voice lifting in volume and intensity the more he sang. "So when you were here I had no idea, you're the best thing I never knew I needed."

With each lyric, Trent had been gradually moving closer to Gwen, still singing. Gwen peered at him, grinning, still not missing a beat with her drums. With adoration shining his forest green eyes, Trent sang the next words directly to Gwen.

"So now it's so clear, I need you here always."

Courtney was listening attentively to Trent's song, her head nodding lazily along with the beautiful melody when she suddenly felt a tap on the shoulder. She turned and saw Duncan offering a hand.

"Care to dance?" he asked, teal eyes twinkling with amusement, "Or do you only dance well as with eight legs?"

Cocking her eyebrow and shooting her boyfriend a competitive smirk, Courtney accepted his hand. "I'm going to make you eat those words, spider boy!"

"That's spider Prince to you, Princess!" Duncan chuckled and pulled her onto the dance floor.

"My accidental happily ever after…oooh! The way you smile and how you comfort me with your laughter…"

Duncan and Courtney entering the dance floor was a signal for everyone that it was time for dancing.

Lindsay grabbed a surprised Tyler's hand and pulled him up from the table. "Come on Tyler, let's dance!"

"NO LINDSAY! MY NAME ISN'T….wait…" Tyler blinked puzzledly a couple time. It took a couple of seconds for his brain to wrap around realization at what Lindsay had just called him. "You called me Tyler! You remembered my name! YOU REMEMBERED MY NAME!" he screamed out in joy.

Lindsay giggled loudly at her beloved's antics as the two air-headed lovers spun around and around onto the dance floor.

"I must admit you were not a part of my book, but now if you open it up and take a look, you're the beginning and the end of every chapter."

Izzy landed on top of Owen's blonde head and leaned forward to gaze her crazed green eyes into his surprised face. "Izzy wants Big O to come dance the dance of the courting tarantulas! I learned it from Duncan and Courtney!"

Owen looked hesitant. One would be a fool not to be when offered anything by a girlfriend like Izzy. But she learned it from Duncan and Court so it shouldn't be too bad right?

"Uh…sure Izz." Owen said, smiling good-naturedly, "How does it go?"

The gentle giant squealed in terror when Izzy gave a fanged grin, grabbed Owen's arm, and, letting out an infamous mad cackle, effortlessly flip the fat boy towards the middle of the dance floor. Duncan and Courtney as well as Tyler and Lindsay had to scramble away to avoid being squashed by their giant friend. Owen landed with a painful "Oof!" onto his back. Like a vicious jungle cat, Izzy left on top him, grinning evilly.

"Prepare for the dance of your life!" Izzy insanely laughed, looming over Owen.

Owen's terrified and pained screams filled everyone's ears as well as the sounds of what seemed to be punching and biting.

"Relax Big O! I'm just showing how much I love you!"

"YOU'RE BREAKING MY LEG!"

Sipping a soda from one of the white-cloth tables, Noah watched Owen's misfortunes and chuckled nastily.

"Hehe, having fun chubby buddy?" Noah called out with a loud laugh. The laughter was choked out of him when Katie snatched him by the arm.

"Oooh, let's dance!" Katie squealed, tightening her hold on his skinny arm.

"I don't think so. Dancing is not my foorrteeeee-aaaiiiggghhh!" Noah gave a shrilly scream when Katie, showing a surprising amount of strength, literally dragged him onto the dance floor.

"Ooh, wait for me!" Sadie called to her friend. She looked around for a potential dance partner. Her victim was soon spotted.

"Come here DJ!" The plump girl grabbed hold to a highly surprised DJ who dropped his two beloved bunnies in shock as he was dragged unwillingly to the dance floor.

As the two BFFs clung tightly to their respective partners, grinning happily as they slowly waltzed in place side by side. A glare was fixed on Noah's face as he was squeezed to death by his significant other.

"Damn fairy tale ending…" the bookworm grumbled as DJ whimpered.

"You're the best thing I never knew I needed. So when you were here I had no idea, you're the best thing I never knew I needed. So now it's so clear, I need you here always."

LeShawna gazed dreamily at all the dancing couples, elbow propped up and chin resting in the palm of her hand, and sighed, smiling at the sight of budding love. She was always a romantic at her. Suddenly she felt a tap on the shoulder and turned. She blinked in surprise at the sight of a Harold, his freckled face lit in a love struck grin.

"M'lady," Harold bowed low and held out his hand towards his plump, dark-skinned goddess. "May you grace this lowly savior of tarantulas and conqueror of voodoo with a dance?"

LeShawna cupped Harold's chin in her hand and tilted his pale face upward until he was eye to eye with LeShawna. A loving smile spread across the black girl's face.

"Bout time you came and asked me, Sugar." She puckered her large lips and gave the red-haired nerd a large smooch that sent fireworks erupting inside Harold. As the couple drew apart, LeShawna pulled the love-struck Harold along. "Let's go show these people how to shake some booty!"

"Yes, my sweet, sweet Le-Goddess!" Harold cooed, smiling with pure bliss as he was swept along with his true love.

As they ran towards the rest of the dancers, they accidentally knocked into one of the chairs that held a currently lip-locked Geoff and Bridgette. Their chair was sent in a spinning fit that send the couple onto the ground with a loud thud. With their make-out session ended, Geoff and Bridgette stood up, dusted themselves off, listened to the music, looked at each other, smiled, and, holding each other's hand, wordlessly rushed off to join the rest of their friends in dancing. At last, they had realized that there were more joys to being a couple than just the kissing.

"Oooohhh…Who knew that I can be someone unexpectedly, undeniably happier seeing you right next to me?"

From her table, Beth stared longingly at the all the dancing couples and gave an annoyed pout. It seemed that she was one of the only ones without a dance partner since Brady had gone home the day before. But no, that wasn't true. She looked over at Ezekiel who was sitting alone. Sure he wasn't too much of a looker but…

Beth's thoughts of asking Zekey to dance were dashed to pieces the moment she saw, to much shock and surprise, Eva stomp up to him.

Ezekiel honestly had no idea what to do when Eva, face set in a usual fearsome glower, stomped up to him and wordlessly stood by his side. There were a few moments of silence in which Ezekiel merely hugged his Loser Consolations prize in fear. Then Eva spoke.

"You know," the fearsome, glaring girl said in emotionless tones, "I hated you the most. Not Bridgette."

The home schooled teen had not idea where this was headed.

"Uhh…okay…eh." Ezekiel thought that was the safest answer. Another moment or two of awkward silence took place.

Suddenly, with the ferocity and quickness of an attacking shark, Eva grabbed a fistful of the front of Zekey's hood and pulled the home-schooled boy into a deep, furious kiss.

Beth's jaw dropped in shock. At the barbecue pit, Chef was gaping at the sight, eyes wide and ignoring the hamburger patty that had dropped from his spatula onto the ground. Molotov, who had been sitting next to Ezekiel, tried to scoop his chair away from odd kissing couple unnoticed.

Just as suddenly as it began, the kiss ended with Eva pulling away and pushing Zekey away. She resumed stand there wordlessly, looking emotionless besides the glower on her face while Zekey stood next to her, shaking like a mangy cat that had just seen a glimpse of death. The rest of his pitiful reward fell to pieces. Alas, Tayler Launter, in his twig glory, was no more.

Zekey looked at his now empty hands and then at Eva.

"So…do yoo wanna dance, eh?" he hesitantly asked, holding out a trembling hand.

She stared at the hand as if it were a nasty piece of slime, then at Ezekiel's pimply face, frowning.

"Okay."

For the first time, a small smile grew on the burly girl's face as she took the smaller boy's hand and the two misfits walked over to the dance floor.

Beth scowled. So much for that! If only Brady was here! Maybe if she could drag Cody away from the keyboard….

Then she spotted him.

A large smile graced Beth's round face as she batted her eyelashes and called out flirtatiously between giggles.

"Oooh Billy! How would you like to dance? I know I'm taken, but if you won't tell, then I won't, hehe!"

"You're the best thing I never knew I needed. So when you were here I had no idea…"

A full moon hung in the velvet night sky, looking down at all the couples dancing to the music. In the midst of it all, Duncan and Courtney danced, arms wrapped around each other in loving embrace. Courtney had her head resting on Duncan's chest as the two slowly circled in place and soaking in the magic that this night graced them with. Neither Duncan nor Courtney would ever forget the events of these three days- especially not tonight. Both of them would lock the memories of this magical night inside their hearts forever so that in the future, in their darkest moments and after their most hurtful arguments, they would remember the adventure they share. They would remember the love they felt for one another- a love that would burn inside Duncan and Courtney warmly and brightly for the rest of their days.

If only some people were that lucky.

"Come on, Sweetears! Let's dance! I can show you how to do the Bunny Hop!" A loud obnoxious voice loudly called and ruined the blissful, heartfelt moment Duncan and Courtney were having.

Bunneh hopped over to the couple, chasing after a very annoyed Bunnie.

"Stop calling me that, vermin! My name is Bunnie! Not Sweetears! And I would never dance with such a scruffy, ill-mannered wild animal like you!" The girl bunny declared in a prissy manner, scrunching her pink nose in disgust at Bunneh.

"Awww, you know you want me, Babes!" Bunneh replied with a flirtatious cock of the eyebrow.

"In your dreams!" Bunnie huffed, hopping away with her nose up in the air.

Duncan and Courtney stared at the all too familiar scene with amused looks on their faces.

"How long do you think it'll take?" Courtney asked grinning to Duncan.

A sly smirk slid across Duncan's handsome face.

I don't know, but if those two are anything like you and me…" breaking off, Duncan grabbed hold of Courtney's hand, pulling her close, and then, holding one hand under her waist for support, leaned forward and dipped Courtney down into the final dance position that he and she had been in back in the forest while dancing as tarantulas, with his grinning face close to her flushed one.

"…it won't take any time at all." He finished with a smirk.

Smiling deviously, Courtney looped a hand around Duncan's neck and pulled him down, happily closing the distance between their lips with a kiss.

"You're the best thing I never knew I needed…"

"Such a magical night this is da." Molotov commented.

Molotov watched Duncan and Courtney kiss and felt his giant heart swell with pride and joy with the knowledge his two little friends had finally found love and happiness with one another. The old bear chuckled as he watched the rest of the Total Drama crew dance with their partners. Perhaps…just perhaps they could find the same happiness that Duncan and Courtney had found. And others too. Magic and love weren't that hard to find if you had the right friends showing you the way.

"But then again, why shouldn't it be?" Molotov smiled, lifting his large, shaggy head to the star-filled skies. "Love is magic after all. Don't you agree, my beautiful Evangeline?"

Evangeline, radiate and true, twinkled in reply to her beloved.

"So now it's so clear, I need you here always."

Trent's heavenly voice died away as the last strands of music melted from the night. But none of the dancers seemed to mind or notice. They just kept dancing away completely, wishing that a night such as this, full of magic and love thought to only to exist in fairy tales, to never end….

…at least…that's how most people felt…..

There were two particular people back at the hotel who thought very differently.

"GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!"

Back at the hotel where the contestants had stayed at for the last couple of days, two former contestants were currently residing at the pool area. A bald-headed Heather and Justin were both tied up with rope and hanging upside down over the swimming pole, hung by their bound feet to two street lamps. All this was punishment for their evil plot.

They hadn't been invited to the party.

"HOW DARE YOU LOSERS DO THIS TO ME?" Heather screamed and screeched like a banshee, swinging back and forth in rage. "I DEMAND YOU GUYS UNTIE ME THIS INSTANT! IS THAT MUSIC I'M HEARING? ARE YOU GUYS HAVING A PARTY WITHOUT ME? SOMEBODY'S GOING TO BE PAYING BIG TIME WHEN I GET DOWN FROM HERE!"

Hissing like a wet cat, Heather shot a glare at Justin who was sniffling beside her.

"Are you crying?" She demanded to know, staring at the handsome model in shock.

Indeed, Justin was crying, but to Heather's shock, he was smiling as well.

"Have you ever seen such a beautiful sight?" Justin asked, smiling brightly as joyful tears fell from his face.

He was staring at his gorgeous reflection in the pool water's surface.

Heather's scream of rage and frustration echoed all the way to the movie set and managed to break a string from Trent's guitar as well as bring all the dancers to a shocked halt.

But then Cody started a wicked keyboard solo and got the party started once again.

Even though the fairy tale has ended, many might be wondering what happens to Duncan, Courtney, Harold, Bunneh, Molotov and all the rest of the contestants after this night of adventure and plots, of terror and magic, and of dark greed falling against the light of love…

Well, dearest readers, you're going to have to connect the rest of those spider threads yourself…

...But, until then, let us just say that they all lived happily ever after.

The End.
