Well that's just great, thought Courtney. She and her friends were stuck in a cave, because it had been raining. For hours. So now she sat around a campfire with all her escorts. And Duncan. How could she forget. He had only been annoying her for a day and a half. He had been gaurding the rear, and decided it would be a good idea to poke her butt with the end of his bow. He had splashed her with water, tossed pinecones at her, and almost grabbed her butt. Almost. She nearly broke his finger before he could reach his target. He is a true pervert. Damn. That's a strong punch. Duncan was thinking this after he had suggested playing 7 minutes in heaven to pass time. It was Courtney who shut him up. Before Duncan was severely injured, Geoff started a game of truth or dare. "Truth or dare?" Geoff asked Gwen. "I see no point in this game but whatever. Truth." "What is your opinion on our favorite musician Trent?" She went silent and turned a faint pink. "He's a nice boy..." She trailed off. "Bridgette truth or dare" "Truth." Bridgette admitted that she and Geoff had made out before, Geoff had to stand in the rain for a minute, then it was Geoffs turn. "Courtney." "Dare. What's the worst you can do?" "Oh, I dun know, maybe, have your first kiss with that lovely gentleman on your right?" He said gesturing to the annoying archer himself. She wished she had picked truth. Turning red, she faced Duncan. He gave her his signature smirk, and they scooted closer. She took a deep breath and leaned in. He could tell it was her first kiss, but she was so good at it. It made his knees go weak. That never happens. They were so soft, and they just seemed perfect. She noticed that he seemed to be enjoying it, and she would never say out loud, but so was she. They both slowly pulled away, not wanting to seem weird. Courtney was still a very pink, and she turned away. Duncan so ked at her and secretly fist bumped Geoff.  After a few more rounds they were all laughing, they started setting up the beds, and they all fell asleep.

It was still dark and raining outside when Duncan woke up. The damp chill was creeping it's way into their cave and Duncan was freezing. He pulled what in his opinion was a sorry excuse for a blanket around him and tried to fall asleep. He was about half asleep (and shivering) when he heard shuffling and became much warmer. He sighed in content. Then his eyes snapped open when he realized that someone had put an extra blanket on him. There was five people, and five blankets. Someone was freezing their ass off right now. He sat up and studied the silhouettes in the dark cave. He heard chattering and traced the noise to a trembling and blanketless princess. He was stunned, and then it hit him. She was going to be the best queen this kingdom had ever been graced with. What sort of royalty would give their blanket to someone who had been very agitating? Courtney was shivering so hard that she was sore and she was starting to lose feeling in her toes. But at least Duncan was warm. Somehow, that made her feel better. She heard someone moving and assumed it was someone tossing and turning (cave floors aren't very comfortable), until she felt a blanket being wrapped around her. She sat up and found Duncan returning her blanket. "No! You'll be cold!" She whisper shouted. "You're lips are blue!" Duncan responded with equal stubbornness. "I'm not taking the blanket back." Courtney said as she crossed her arms and stuck her nose in the air. "Well I'm not letting you sleep without one." Said Duncan.

Gwen was the first one up, and the first to discover her royal highness and the playboy archer cuddling. Duncan had one arm wrapped around Courtney's waist, and the other was being used as her pillow while his hand was tangled in hair. Courtney was snuggled up to Duncan's chest.  Her mouth was slightly open and her eyelids fluttered with each of Duncan's soft snores. Duncan's head rested on Courtney's and when there was any noise he would pull her closer and his eyebrows furrowed in concern. Gwen chuckled softly. They'll be together before she's crowned queen, she thought to herself.
