***HAPPY DXCAVERSERY EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!***

Duncan's P.O.V.


I hate this stupid show.


The stupid polluted food made me sick and now I've been stuck in the stupid infirmiry for...like a week.

I sighed in boredom and gulped down another piece of black licorice. They reminded me of Gwen who was off doing a challenge somewhere. And the Caramels...Courtney, they were the same colour as her hair. Don't ask. I don't know why I still care.


Seven days and I'm still sick,
Need you more than I'll admit
I'm drowning here in a fifth of gin
Now I'm hoping for the best but not holding my breat

I glanced at the mirror hanging in the room. Was Chris purposefully make this room such a dragjust to torture me?!

Was there something that I missed?
Some sort of clue, maybe a hint?
'Cause there's a lack of love that's on your lips

A face suddenly appeared in the mirror. I gaped at it in horror for a moment before quickly turning away. Then I heard her voice.

"Duncan?"

I frowned discontentedly. This was creepy.

And I can see your face,
In my mirror
Hear your voice,
In my ear
You're everywhere but here

"Hey Duncan," Gwen sudden;y appeared in the doorway. I flinched.
She sat down on the end of my bed. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." I lied. "So how was the stupid challenge?" I smirked.
"Well, Courtney's still trying to make us lose, it sucked like basically everything in this crappy show, Cody's still into me and that's about it."
"Who won?"
"We did."
Ah, so I'll probably be voted off for being useless in the challenge. Oh well.
As if reading my thoughts Gwen smiled and told me it was reward challenge.
"Oh." My thoughts drifted, again, to Courtney. Where was she?! Then again she still hated me more than ever so it wasn't likely she'd come visit me. I smirked to myself, but luckily Gwen couldn't read my thoughts as well as I'd thought.

Maybe, baby, You're too Pretty for me
Maybe, baby, you're playing hide-and-go-seek
I'm hoping for the best
'Cause you're so hard to get
I'm not holding my breath,
'Cause you're too pretty for me

Gwen glanced out the door more often and I noticed that she looked a bit restless.
"If you want to go, that's fine." I told her, even though it'd kill me to be left alone here for the rest of the day. "I can cope."
"Oh no, it's not that! It's just...Courtney's really mad at me and I don't think she'll settle for just getting me kicked off." Gwen's eyes turned back to the door, which was half open.

I smirked. You've gotta love Princess. "Yeah, she may be pretty uptight but when it comes to revenge, she'll stop at nothing." Court wasn't that uptight anymore but it was still true. Gwen looked at me in surprise and then her expression changed to distrust, as if she thought I still had feelings for Courtney. Yeah, right!


(Too Pretty for me,
Too Pretty for me)

I sat up and gobbled down another piece of black licorice I'd smuggled from the plane's food stock. Gwen hadn't helped me. I bet I could've gotten Courtney to. Stop thinking about her! She's your ex!

I missed the times before that...

All the days the love we made
Tell me, was it all just fake?
I need to know 'cause my hearts at stake
Now I'm hoping for the best
But not holding my breath

"Well, I should get going."
Gwen sighs and starts to get up. She kisses my cheek. Her eyes are troubled.
"I'd kiss you back but I don't want to get you sick too, Pasty." I ressure her, lying back down. "Sleep well in first class."
"I will," Gwen smiles, the distrsut in her eyes fading. She walked to the door but froze in the doorframe. "And...um...Duncan?"
"Yes Pasty?"
"You'd...uh...tell me if Courtney came in here right?"
"Of course! But why would she want to even think about me if I cheated on her?" I faked confusion. Luckily Gwen was more guliable than Courtney.
"Okay, 'night."
"Night."

After she leaves I glance back at the mirror, in hopes that it was just a trick of the light earlier, but instead the pretty onyx-eyed, tanned face appears again.



And I can see your face,
In my mirror
Hear your voice,
In my ear
You're everywhere but here


Maybe, baby, You're too pretty for me
Maybe. baby you're playing hide-and-go-seek
I'm hoping for the best,
'Cause you're so hard to get
I'm not holding my breath
'Cause you're too pretty for me

And, I continued my bored candy-eating until I heard the door --closed by Gwen-- creak open. Courtney's head pops out to glance in and when she notices that I'm still awake, she quickly disappears.
"Courtney!" I hissed not wanting to wake anyone up. "What are you doing?!"
"Um, I thought I'd say Hello. Just 'cause I care about...people when they're sick." She narrowed her gorgeous onyx eyes. "No matter how much I hate them."

You had me at hello
And then you let me go
Now every day I wait
Is spent in second place

"Really? You still hate me?"
"How about you get cheated on and we'll see you still love the person."
"Oh? You loved me?"
"No!! And even if I did I wouldn't come to see you."
"Then why are you here?"

And I can see your face
Too pretty for me
Hear your voice
Too pretty for me

"I already told you!" She snapped, but sat on the end of my bad all the same.
Her voice softened. "How are you feeling?"
"Much better, now that you're here." I smirked as she felt my forehead.
"You have a really bad fever, you know that?"
"Yes. Your point?"

Maybe, baby, you're too pretty for me
Maybe, baby, you're playing hide-and-go-seek
I'm hoping for the best
'Cause you're so hard to get
I'm not bholding my breath
'Cause you're too pretty for me

"You could die if you're really sick." Courtney was starting to sound like a little kid now. It was weird, that someone so preppy and smart could sound like that.
"Aw, and you're admitting you missed me!"
"No!" She lied. I could always see through her lying, no matter how good he was at it.

I know you, I know you lie

"Yes you would. You still like me, maybe even love me, no matter how well you hide it."
"No," She scowled.
I smirked and she let out a defeated sigh.
"Fine, I do."
Victory! "Come here, I have a secret to tell you." I beckoned.
Courtney frowned but curled up at my side like she had in TDI, so long ago. What was the Episode called? The Sucky Outdoors?
"I still love you too." I whispered, shocked that I'd told her that and even more shocked that it was true.
Courtney smiled. "Good," She sighed and closed her eyes, looking tired.
I kissed the top of her head and stroked that beautiful caramel hair.
"You know something Court?"
"What?" One of her eyes opened and she stared at me inquiringly.
"You're too pretty for me."

'Cause you're too pretty for me!
