This is my first fic. I love the Courtney / Duncan pairing, so I thought about what might have happened to them after they left the island. I havent' seen the whole first season, so if things aren't exact, I apologize. And I don't own Total Drama Island nor have I received monetary gain from this fic. No copyrighting infringement is intended! I have the next several chapters done, but I figured I'd toss the first one out to see what people thought! Enjoy!

(Later that day...) Ok, so the response was overwhelming and I'm having a lot of fun writing this. The ideas are flowing and I hope you can all bear with me while it comes together! Thank you all again, please keep the reviews coming!

[6/12/13 - Edited several later chapters] Heard something about them cracking down on fics with song lyrics, so I updated to keep myself out of trouble and keep my fic from getting deleted :) Made my own song lyrics instead. Story is still the same though and I hope anyone who has read it still enjoys it!

Courtney sat staring out her bedroom window. It was a gorgeous summer day, though she felt a bit empty somehow. It had been almost ten years to the day since she first set foot on the dock at Camp Wawanakwa. Ten years ago she'd never dreamed she'd be where she was now. A successful businesswoman, engaged to a great guy, a house on the lake... but she was still empty.

The phone rang, bringing her out of her reverie. She picked up, sighing. "Hello?"

"Hey Courtney! It's Bridge!" Courtney and Bridgette had been very close since those days at camp. They lived only a few miles from each other now. Courtney had even been the Maid of Honor at Bridgette's wedding to Geoff. Many of the fellow campers had shown up to show their support of their old friends. Duncan didn't show up though... In the back of her mind, Courtney had known he wouldn't be there, but she still hoped.

She and Duncan had made a few attempts to get back together after Courtney had been voted off, but somehow they always lost touch. It seemed as though fate wasn't on their side, and their summer romance was simply just that. For the summer. She felt that maybe this was for the best, since after all, she was "by the books Courtney" and he was "bad boy juvenile delinquent Duncan." She'd heard that he had gotten married himself. Might have just been rumor though... At any rate, she had met another "by the books" guy, Rhett. And even though Courtney loved him, he never made her feel quite the same as Duncan ever had. But now she was committed to Rhett, as Duncan was committed to whatever girl he was married to now... she sighed again.

"Hey Bridgette, what's going on?" Courtney tried her best to sound cheery.

"You'll never guess who just called me..." Bridgette sounded very excited.

"Who?"

"Chris Maclean!"

"What?" Courtney laughed, "What the heck did he want?"

"C'mon Court... you know the answer. He wants us to do a ten year reunion show! Another eight weeks at Camp Wawanakwa to catch up with us all and see what we've been doing. "

"Oh please, like I'd want to go back there. What's in it for us? More D-R-A-M-A. As if we need any more."

They both laughed. The last few years had seen plenty of real life drama as another of their close neighbors, Heather, had done her share to make their lives miserable. Heather was the owner of an insurance business that was in competition with Courtney's firm. Since they knew each other, Heather did her best to drive Courtney crazy, trying to throw her off her game. Another reason that Duncan was so hard to forget about, was that Heather was constantly bringing him up.

"What would poor delinquent boy have to say if he knew his Princess was involved with another man? He'd probably land himself back in prison!" -and-"Too bad you didn't end up becoming a lawyer Courtney! You could have helped your old boyfriend out a lot!"

Courtney seethed just thinking about Heather's words. Bridgette spoke up in the silence, breaking Courtney's line of thought, "Soooo what do you think? Geoff and I are in. I figured I'd give you a buzz to see if you were up for it before Chris called to drop the news on you."

"I don't know Bridge... Im not sure I could handle seeing... certain people again."

"Courtney, I'm disappointed in you. You're such a strong woman. Surely seeing Duncan again won't throw you off that much! He's probably changed just as much as the rest of us. Remember how Heather said he's married now? I doubt things will be the same as they used to be. And think about it! We'll see Leshawna again... and Gwen and Trent! It'll be great. And from what Chris told me, it's not going to be about elimination this time. We'll be doing some challenges again, but it'll be for a different prize each time. Who knows, you could win a new car or something."

Courtney laughed, "Yeah I could use one. And you're right, things have changed so much... I'm sure Duncan won't even notice me there."

"You have a while to think about it. It's scheduled to start filming again in about a month. Chris said it'd only fly if he got at least half of us back. So far it's just me and Geoff, Gwen, Trent, Leshawna and Owen I think. Duncan might not even be there."
