I do not own Total Drama or any of the characters. They are doing a life sentence to their original owners without the chance of parole. Enjoy part one of the fairly odd couple.

Wawanakwa high mess hall

"There is goes again." Tyler said with a down tone. "You would think he would give up by now. I mean he has been shot down 500 times yet he is more persistent than a mosquito that won't buzz off." Tyler explained to his girlfriend in a neutral tone.

"I think the term Periplaneta Americana would be more accurate." Scarlett said causing everyone to look at her weird. "American cockroach." Scarlett replied causing a lot of people at the table to frown.

"You know that isn't a very nice thing to say eh?" Ezekiel replied causing Courtney who understood what she meant to speak up.

"I think it is accurate to be honest. No matter how many times Gwen crushes him he just keeps coming back for more." Courtney explained earning a nod of understanding for the formally home schooled teen.

"Aw I personally think it is sweet. I actually hope he finally wins Greda over." Lindsay said while once again mispronouncing Gwen's name. "I know if it was me, and I wasn't dating you Tyler I would have said yes." Lindsay continued while secretly rooting for Cody.

"That stuck up Gwen doesn't deserve the attention my Codykins give her! He should be showering his affection on a girl who will appreciate it!" Sierra hissed. "He should be showering his attention on me! All he would have to do is ask me once and I would gladly be his!" Sierra declared.

"He has his heart set on Gwen not you Sierra, and until he realizes it is pointless, or Gwen finally gives in Cody won't quit on her no matter what." Tyler said shaking his head in pity.

At another table

"When will short stuff get it through his thick head that my girl Gwen doesn't like him?" Leshawna said shaking her head in disgust. "Will it take her shooting him down another 500 times before he gets the message?"

"Now my fair Leshawna when I was trying to woo you I was persistent as well. While not as persistent as Cody I was persistent and look at me now? I am happy dating the chocolate goddess I admired from the first day I saw you and I don't regret a moment of it." Harold said with a smile earning a kiss from Leshawna.

"While that is true, the difference unlike Cody you actually have some charming points that won me over. Cody had nothing Gwen likes, and he will keep getting shot down. He would be so much better going out with the Sierra girl." Leshawna said in a dry tone.

"Sure and while we are at it why don't we get a nice fat restraining order long with that side of crazy? If it were me I would sooner get with Izzy before touching that mountain of crazy." Noah went on.

"Aw I still think it is sweet that he keeps trying and trying without giving up. I mean like if it were me I would fall for him by that alone." Katie said smiling at the thought.

"I know like me too! If it was me I would have been worn down and we would be dating by now." Sadie added while hugging her BFFFL.

A third table 3 feet away.

"Oh god here he comes again. I swear he doesn't know the meaning of no! What will it take for him to get that I don't want him?" Gwen said annoyed as she watched Cody walk over to her for the 501 time.

"Don't worry pasty I got this. By the time I am through with him he will take the biggest hint you have been giving him." Duncan said while cracking his knuckles.

"Don't you dare Duncan! Sure he may be more persistent than a mosquito searching for blood, but other than that…"

"He needs to know that he is chasing tail out of his league. He should just settle for that purple haired Amazon who is crushing for him." Duncan said cutting off Bridgette as he got up from the table and began walking towards Cody only for Gwen to stop him.

"No Duncan let me. I have let this go on for long enough, and I am going put an end to it once and for all!" Gwen explained as she instead got up to the table and began walking towards Cody.

'Forgive me for what I am about to do, but you have to learn the meaning of no Cody.' Gwen thought to herself as she hardened her heart and brought up all of the negative emotions she could.

"Hey Gwen I wanted…"

"No Cody as I told you the last 500 times before I am not interested, and I will never be interested in dating you!" Gwen said cutting off Cody in a nastier tone than usual.

"But…"

"Not but's Cody! I have had it with you and your consistent pestering of me! Every day for the past year and a half you have been nothing more than a nuisance to me! Every day it is the same thing! Gwen will you be my girlfriend? Gwen I know you said no, but will you please reconsider! What will it take for you to take a hint and leave me alone?" Gwen said cutting off Cody.

"But…"

Cody never got the chance to finish his sentence as he was punched hard in the gut by a now annoyed Duncan. Upon seeing this everyone in the lunch room including most of the staff was in shocked. The only people not in shock were, Chris, Blaineley and Sierra. The first two due to the drama unfolding, and Sierra due to feeling rage towards Duncan for hurting Cody. The only thing that kept Sierra from going over there and opening up a can on both of them was the fact that DJ, Tyler, and Geoff were holding the Amazon back.

With Chris, Blaineley, and Chef

"Chef where do you think you are going?" Chris said causing Chef to look at him funny.

"To break that mess up that is what! If I don't either that crazy girl will destroy Duncan and Gwen or Duncan will seriously injure Cody! Either way it won't be good for the school!" Chef explained.

"No you won't Chef. This is great for ratings, and since no one knows they are being filmed we can keep all the money for ourselves!" Chris explained caring little for Cody's safety.

"Plus with this footage, we will get a major boost in ratings. It is a shame that after 2 more years we will have to cancel the show. That is unless some of the other teens that come here become popular." Blanieley said with a sigh.

"You are just upset that once Justin graduates you won't have your source of stress relief." Chef said chuckling in an all knowing tone.

"Ok that would explain why Justin is always in your office for long periods of time." Chris said in an offhanded tone. "As long as you do your job and bring in the ratings you can use him as your boy toy all you want." Chris explained not caring unaware of the eye rolling that both Chef and Blanieley were doing.

'Boy toy nothing, he is my man and when he graduates nothing will stop us from becoming official in the public eye. But for now we have to keep our secret in the closet.' Blanieley thought to herself smiling.

With Cody, Duncan, and Gwen

"Get it through your thick head shrimp, Gwen doesn't want to be with you, she is sick and tired of you stalking her! I am also sick of it, so if you want to keep coming towards her fine, but each time you do I will beat the living daylights out of you!" Duncan continued only to watch Cody slowly get up to his feet which earned a smile from Duncan.

"You are really a masochist aren't you dorkohonus? Well if you enjoy getting your ass kicked by me, then I am more than willing to give you more punishment." Duncan said as he continued going to work on Cody.

Across the lunch room

"Let me go! I am going to destroy that bully for messing with my Codykins, and that pale faced bitch as well!" Sierra hissed as DJ, Geoff, and Tyler held her.

"I say let her go. I personally would love to see her open up a can of whup ass on both Gwen and Duncan!" Courtney said in a bitter tone.

"Courtney just because Duncan broke your heart and left you for Gwen doesn't mean he deserves the wrath of Sierra eh?" Ezekiel said trying to calm down the bitter CIT.

"Sierra as much as I don't like this either, you murdering Duncan and Gwen won't be good either." Tyler explained while struggling to hold Sierra back.

"I don't care! I am going to show him what (1) Mrs. Fix it can do to them for messing with the wrong woman's man!" Sierra hissed causing the majority of the people to look at her funny with the exception of 2 people.

"But if you kill Gwen it will make Cody feel worse. I know you hate Gwen and want to murder her, but Cody will forever hate you. Last I checked if someone hates you then you will never have a shot with said person." DJ said knowing that the possibility of her getting with Cody, was even less than the chance of him getting with Gwen.

However, DJ said the magic words apparently seeing as Sierra anger went down from volcano erupting to a slow boil. Geoff, DJ, and Tyler were both thankful for this.

Back in with Cody, Duncan, and Gwen

5 minutes had passed since Duncan threw the first punch. Cody for some reason wouldn't stay down, and continued to persist only for Duncan to continued beating the snot out of him. However, even with his stomach in pain due to the repeated blows, as well as the blows to the arms and legs, Cody for whatever reason continued to get up ignoring the pain. At this point Gwen decided to do something she would later regret for the rest of her life. With one swift kick with as much force as she could muster Gwen caused Cody not only to scream out in agonizing pain, but gave him a really cold look. It was at this point that Bridgette finally got between them.

"Gwen I know you want Cody to leave you alone, but kicking him in the Kiwi's? That is going too far and you know it!" Bridgette said no longer being able to take anymore before turning to Cody. "Cody I think you should go now and leave Gwen alone. She doesn't like you like you like…"

"Like him? News flash Bridgette Gwen can't stand Cody. In fact I heard Gwen say once that she wish he would jump off Niagara falls! But since he won't take a hint I might as well say this. Me and Pasty here have been dating for a while, and there is no way in hell she would leave me for a loser like you!" Duncan said without an ounce of remorse surprising everyone in the lunchroom to gasp even the adults.

Cody at this point had a very hurt expression on his face. Hearing those horrid words ringing through his mind hurt more than any blow that either Duncan or Gwen gave to him. However, even with this Cody reached into his pocket and pulled out a black and teal amulet and a card surprising everyone there once again. Ignoring the pain of both his body and heart, Cody finally got his message out.

"I wasn't going… to ask you… out Gwen." Cody said still in pain. "I… just wanted to… wish you a happy birthday… and give you these." Cody said causing everyone to gasp including Gwen herself.

'Oh my god I verbally abused him, allowed Duncan to attack him, and I even kicked him in the kiwi's and he does this for me? God why couldn't he have been just trying to ask me out and being creepy like he always does?' Gwen thought to herself feeling extremely guilty for the way she treated him.

"I… knew how much… you wanted that amulet…yet you couldn't… afford it so… I saved my… allowance for a year… to buy it just for you." Cody explained surprising everyone in the lunchroom.

At the second table

"Wow he must really like my girl to save up his money for a year just to get her something he knew she wanted. I hate to admit it but that was very sweet of him in a creepy sort of way. No offense to you Harold but I don't think I would do something like that for you." Leshawna explained. "I am defiantly going to have a talk with Gwen after this if she doesn't apologize to him."

"No way in hell I would have still given her those gifts if she had kicked me in the kiwi's and possibly making so I can't have kids." Noah went on. "Cody you really need to come back to earth and find someone else." Noah said without his usual sarcasm.

Back at the first table

"He really saved his money for an entire year just to give her something she really wanted? I knew Cody was hung up on Gwen, but man she has him hooked good." Courtney said watching the scene. "I can't believe I am saying this, but I am actually jealous of that pasty faced boyfriend stealer!" Courtney said in surprise.

"That evil witch doesn't deserve someone as sweet as my Codykins affection! Now let me go so I can readjust her ugly anatomy to what it really is!" Sierra hissed fired up once again.

"Remember how Cody would feel if you harmed Gwen Sierra. He would not only hate you but feel worse because he indirectly brought the girl he cared for pain." Geoff said while still holding back the infuriated Sierra.

Back with Cody, Gwen and Duncan

While a lot of people were surprised and swaying to Cody's side due to his most recent action there was one person there who wasn't. Wanting to give Cody a reality trip said person started speaking once again.

"You still don't get it do you loser! She doesn't want you! You think your little trinket will win her heart but it won't! Right now she is with the best, so why would she settle for the rest?!" Duncan said in an arrogant tone. "So why don't you take your gift, and shove them where the sun don't shine?!"

Upon hearing this Cody said the one thing that no one would have expected.

"I… know that Duncan." Cody said with more sadness than pain in his voice. "It is fairly obvious… that a guy like… me would never… successfully woo Gwen." Cody said feeling more sadness. "I only wanted… to wish Gwen… a happy birthday… and give her… those gifts." Cody said before turning to Gwen. "Gwen you want… me gone well… consider it my final gift… to you for… your 17th birthday. Oh and I… forgive you… for kicking… me in my Kiwi's. (2) Sayōnara watashi no goshikku no joō." Cody said before walking off out of the lunchroom leaving a surprised Gwen, a smiling Duncan, and many other shocked students in the lunchroom.

However, of all the students who was there, Harold the only one who understood what Cody said felt a strong dislike for both Gwen and Duncan at this moment.

Up in the stands

However, unlike the majority of the students down below, the principal Chris Mclain, and his Vice principal Blanieley was grinning up a storm for their own reasons.

"That was excellent! I can't believe that happened! The love, the emotion, the drama, and finally the crushing of Cody's spirit! It was perfect! This will make our show's ratings go through the roof!" Chris said smiling at what he saw.

"I have to agree with you on that one Chris. While I wouldn't go for that mushy crap Cody just pulled, I am sure it will leave a tangled web of delicious drama for those teens. Who knows? Maybe Gwen will finally be won over, and do her best to try and undo what she believes is a mistake. Plus if she does where will that leave her and Duncan? Will he open up a can on the geek for successfully stealing his girl away? It is all so delicious and so many possibilities it is making my panties wet." Blanieley said smiling leaving Chef looking at the two of them with pity.

"That was a little too much information for me. But don't either of you think that you should be worried about your student? During my time in the military I learned a couple of languages, and what he said isn't something I would take lightly." Chef said with concern.

"Pfft that boy gets rejected a lot and I mean a lot by Gwen and he still comes back for more. He will be fine so don't worry your pretty little head about it chef." Chris responded dismissively.

"I have to agree with our Principal on this one. Now if you excuse me, I have a 2 hour session with Justin in 10 minutes. See you two later!" Blanieley said with a smirk on her face as she walked away from Chris and Chef.

So ends Part one of the fairly odd couple. I am writing this story for a few reasons. The first is like the other fandom I write in I am a huge fan of Total Drama and I wanted to give writing a story a try. Second is I read someone's review and they said there was none of the pairing I am going to attempt so for the sake of the challenge I am going to give it a try. Next off for those who think I outright hate Gwen or Duncan, don't. Most of the characters within the seasons I actually either like or neutral towards. Now as for the person Cody is going to be paired off with they will be making an appearance in the next chapter. Any thoughts, comments, concerns? Voice them in either PM or Review. R and R.
