This is just an enlightening little 文章 I decided to write. Set after "2008: A 太空 Owen."
(Courtney's POV)
I felt guilt and something else in me as I tossed and turned in my bunk. Then I figured what it was.
Frustration. I was a good person, couldn't anyone see that? I knew, I sometimes acted like a total jerk, but I couldn't help it!
I wish someone knew the real me, but like that was ever going to happen!
There was almost no one who really understood me. Well, there was my friend/lawyer, Michael, a few 老友记 back home. Sure, I was 流行的 at school, but I was smart enough to figure it was because people were scared of me.
Oh, it felt good on TDI, to find a perfect (or not so perfect) match for me, and I really did miss my Duncan.
I knew I never let it show, but I was a softie inside. Just... insecure.
Maybe that was why. Why I acted like a total %$#&@ these days.
I felt bad for Duncan when he 迷失 his pet spider, I mean, come on! He was so attached to that thing.
That was why I felt so... glad when I saw that 照片 of me. The one that was presented to me…? In the 太空 thing…? That really reminded me of who I was.
或者 at least... who I thought I was.
I knew I had two different sides. The caring, compassionate side, and the fierce, jerk-y, crazy side.
I didn't know which was the real me.

Think about it, Courtney.
Aaaargh. I was SICK of hearing that little voice in me. Sick, sick, totally, fully sick.
Is it true? Think about it...
Double aaaargh. I decided I would "think about it," anything to shut that stupid little voice up!
I was in my 粉, 粉色 nightgown, so I threw my 最喜爱的 grey 衬衫 over, and put on my green pants.
Why I was so attached to that outfit? Well. That was the same outfit I'd worn when I'd been announced Student Council President.
I slipped on my shoes and walked out of the cabin.
I walked along to the bridge. I loved that place. The place where Duncan had announced he liked me. In a weird, sorta awkward kind of way. With Gwen. Stars. Staring. Mentioned me…
The wind blew 更多 and 更多 as I advanced towards the bridge. What, was there some weird Wind Goddess trying to keep me from getting there?
Don’t be ridiculous, Courtney.
But that wasn't the real weird thing.
I saw a shape, standing with one elbow on the bridge railing. He was muttering to himself.
"... what have I become? I didn't mean for it all to turn out like this. I'm sorry."
Who was this? I realized he had a beautiful voice, as low and lovely as Duncan's.
A flitter flitted in my heart. And despite myself, I smiled.
"I'd better go back. I guess. I just wish everything would be right between us." I saw him shift. He was turning towards me.
And that's when I realized it. His blue eyes, that were the exact same color as an afternoon sky. I saw a bright flash of green.
Oh, CRUD! I thought. This was Duncan.
(Duncan's POV)
I saw a couple of brown hair strands flowing neatly in the air. There was a girl in front of me, a girl who had lovely brown hair, like... like...
Like Courtney's.
I stepped forward. I was surprised to find Courtney staring up at me. Her pretty black eyes, which I'd always admired, shone back.
"Courtney...?" I managed to whisper.
"Duncan." She whispered back. "It's you."
"Uhhh, yeah." I stared at her. "Why are you... what are 你 doing here?"
"I could ask 你 the same thing." She lifted her chin. "What were 你 muttering about?"
"You heard me? How did 你 know... it was me?"
She giggled her sweet giggle. "Because of your voice." She twirled her hair.
"My... what?!"
"Your voice. It's so lovely. I... I 爱情 it."
I felt my 心 swell. "Thank you. And Princess, I really am sorry... for all that I said... I mean done, I mean..."
I couldn't believe this was happening. The same girl who had wrestled me and won was here. And... this was the real Courtney.
(Courtney's POV)
Princess. He called me Princess! I felt like squealing.
But... suddenly a wave of guilt swept the happiness away. He was sorry? I was the horrible one. He didn't do anything to me. If it weren't for me...
I shook my head. "No..." I choked. "It was all my fault. I was horrible. But I've changed now. I really have."
I was crying now. What if... he didn't 爱情 me anymore? I couldn’t manage that…
"Princess..." He shook his head, as if giving up on words. "It's all right. It really is." He half-smiled. "How about we start over?"
For a 秒 I couldn't believe it. This gorgeous boy was offering to forgive me. After... everything.
"Thank you." I smiled.
Duncan reached up and brushed away my tears. "There. Now are 你 okay, Princess?"
"Yes," I answered truthfully, "but I just feel so bad about doing all that to you. Do 你 really...?"
I couldn't bring myself to say it. I tried to grab back some of aggressive Courtney and throw away the caring Courtney, but I couldn't.
"Forgive you?" He let out an exasperated sigh. "Yes. I 爱情 you, Princess. I really do."
My 心 felt like it would jump. I didn’t do anything… I couldn’t do anything, but 吻乐队（Kiss） him.
He seemed surprised at first, but then he kissed me back.
Then Teasing Duncan was back. “Wow Courtney, 你 sure have become a softie. Maybe I should call you…”
I swatted him. I pretended to be annoyed at his teasing, when I really enjoyed it all.
Then I thought of something else. I looked at Duncan; his eyes were wide.
Apparently, he was thinking the same thing.
(Duncan’s POV)
“Court… should we… I mean… tell anyone else… 你 know… do you… I mean…?”
I don’t know what happened to me. I was staring at her eyes, and I 迷失 control of myself.
What the heck had I become, a lovesick puppy?!
“We’ve got to. Because if we don’t then they’ll think we have an alliance and I can’t fight against 你 anymore… hey, maybe we should form an alliance…?” Courtney regarded me hopefully.
I hated myself for saying this. “No.” I 说 it softly but firmly, with emotions 展示 in my voice.
Courtney looked hurt. “B-but…” Why?
“No.” I turned into fierce Duncan for a second. “Did 你 hear me…? Listen!”
Her eyes filled with tears. I felt a low pang inside me. I switched back into Soft Duncan.
“I’m sorry. It’s just because… well, once people realize we’ve gotten back together, they’ll vote us off one 由 one. That’s how it always is.”
“Alright,” she said, reluctantly.
“Thank you, Courtney.” My 心 felt so full; so… well, I realized there was no correct word for this. It was satisfying. Overwhelming. Thrilling.
“Um… you’re welcome.” She grinned. “I 爱情 you.”
“I do, too,” I replied. “And I will, forever.”
And I would. But this was just a little part of our ‘forever’.

Wellllll, I’m sorry if I made it sound too much like the ending of Twilight {Breaking Dawn}. But still! Please tell me how I can improve, since I would 爱情 to become a writer X3
And, TALK TO ME. I’m really bored these days. And my other account is “Kiyurie”. Uh, message me!
