Love Triangle Swerve
Courtney Flores walked away from the business class of the plane with a victorious swagger in her step. Courtney had just sent Gwen Dawson, the woman who had made out with her boyfriend, Duncan Maloney, falling out of a plane and thus eliminating her from the competition. Courtney walked straight into first class, noticing Duncan eating some cookies off of a plate. Duncan's pleasant demeanor immediately left his face when he saw a confident and arrogant Courtney sauntering over towards him.
"Well, well, look who's all alone now," Courtney gloated with a smirk, her hands on her hips. Duncan responded by looking up from his plate of cookies, and rolling his eyes before putting a finger on Courtney's nose, and pushing her back slightly.
"Better to be alone than being anywhere with you for more than a minute."
"Oh please, like you weren't begging like a dog to get a crack at me last season!"
"True, but I just found a better treat," Duncan responded with a smirk, flicking a crumb of one of his cookies into Courtney's face. Courtney started shaking as if she was about to explode in a fit of anger, but Courtney just took a couple of deep breaths, turned right around, and walked back to the business class section of the plane. "Hey! I wasn't done gloating!" Duncan exclaimed, putting the plate of cookies down, and speed-walking past Courtney, taking into account the bewildering looks on Owen and Alejandro's faces. Courtney headed to the confessional, which doubled as the bathroom, which Duncan responded to by following her. The two stood together in the crowded confessional, looking around…
…before smiling at each other, hugging each other, and giving each other a fiery kiss on the lips.
"You did amazing, babe," Courtney complimented in between kisses, running her hands through Duncan's green Mohawk.
"We've got a future in Hollywood once we win this. I missed you, babe," Duncan responded in between kisses, pushing Courtney onto the sink, and laying her down before continuing to pepper her face with kisses. The two continued kissing for another couple of minutes before Courtney tapped on Duncan's shoulder, pointing to the camera that was filming them in the act. Duncan smirked before helping Courtney back to her feet, putting the toilet lid down, and sitting them down on the toilet.
"I think the people deserve a word from their future co-winners," Duncan said. Courtney nodded before maneuvering herself and sitting herself right on Duncan's lap, hugging his neck before nuzzling into his chest.
"I'm sure so many of you are confused, but to put it simply, you all got swerved. Duncan and Gwen were never together, Duncan never cheated on me, I knew everything from the beginning, and we're more in love than we've ever been," Courtney gloated, kissing Duncan right on the cheek.
"When Gwen and I started becoming friends, Courtney was jealous at first, and it led to our first break up after Action. But when we got back together before World Tour, Courtney came up with an idea; use my relationship with Gwen to take her out of the competition. Gwen's always been popular with not only the fans, but the other members of the Total Drama shows too. So, of course, we had to make her look as bad as possible, and what better way than making it look like she kissed me while still dating Courtney," Duncan said, playing with a strand of Courtney's hair before she began to talk.
"Duncan quitting and coming back was all part of the plan. Make it look like we were having relationship troubles again, bond with Gwen, and make it look like he was interested in having a relationship with her. I'm…I'm just amazed at how perfectly it all worked!" Courtney exclaimed, continuing to nuzzle Duncan's chest as he began peppering the top of her head with kisses.
"And now that we're back together again, we're going to make sure that we head straight to the top. Whether I win or Courtney wins doesn't really matter, because we're going to be even richer regardless," Duncan stated as Courtney smirked and nodded before pulling out her PDA and showing it off to the camera.
"I have all the documents here. We're going to split the money 50-50 when we win. And for anyone who gets in our way; if you think what we did to Gwen was awful, you haven't seen what we're truly capable of," Courtney said before she and Duncan exchanged one last kiss before walking out of the confessional hand-in-hand. However, they were so focused on each other that they didn't notice Cody looking over at them with a look of shock and disgust. How could they just walk around like they owned the place after running Gwen's reputation and possibly her life?
Courtney and Duncan walked to a private place on the plane while laughing without a care in the world, and Cody vowed to make sure that neither of them would make it to the finals. He wasn't sure how he was going to do it, but Cody was going to make Courtney and Duncan pay for what they did. Gwen may not have liked Cody in the same way that he liked her, but he still considered her a friend, and he was always one to stick by his friends. Cody walked over back to first class, hoping that he could get some people on his side to get rid of Courtney and Duncan.
