Didn't Expect This Chapter 6: Karaoke and Sincerity, a total drama series fanfic

A/N: Heller Guys! I'm working on a new story. This story should be ending soon. Well I hope you enjoy this chapter! R&R!

Disclaimer: I do not own ANY song lyrics mentioned in this chapter or Total Drama Island. I own nothing!

"Hey cutie." Anna flirted to Harold at the snack bar.

"Hey girl," Harold flirted back. "You want me to impress you with my totally awesome Karate skills?" He asked, trying to be confident for Anna. He was doing fake-me out Karate moves. Anna saw this and laughed because she was happy that a guy was trying so hard to impress her.

"Aww, that's cute Harold," Anna beamed. "Doing fake-me-out Karate moves just to impress me."

"Well, gosh," Harold said, with emphasis on gosh. "Those moves were like, totally real. You know, I was a black belt you know!"

"Sure Harold." Anna laughed, much to Harold's dismay. But she could see the slightest smile on his face.

"Want to dance?" Harold asked.

"Sure!" Anna exclaimed, with that laugh of hers.

At least some people were actually enjoying Senior's Night.

Courtney couldn't help but wonder what Duncan was going to do to prove his so-called "love" to her. Did Duncan actually believe that she would take him back with open arms? After he had played her, humiliated her, cheated on her with her friend and all on International Television? But she also couldn't help but wonder if Duncan was actually being… sincere. Did he actually break up with Gwen because he was still in love with her? Should she believe him? Or not? And speaking of that, why did Gwen assume that she had something to do with their breakup? She would never be involved in Duncan and Gwen's foolish relationship nonsense.

"Hey Courtney!" A familiar voice shouted towards Courtney. She looked up and saw none other than Bridgette.

Bridgette and Courtney were friends but Courtney didn't consider them to be especially close. Sure, she and Bridgette were during the 1st season of Total Drama Island but they soon fell off. Bridgette got more and more into Geoff and she just didn't seem to have an interest in Courtney anymore. Of course, they still talked from time to time.

"Oh hi Bridgette." Courtney greeted.

"So are you enjoying Senior's Night?" Bridgette enthused.

"Ehh," Courtney started. "It's alright, I suppose. So how have things been?"

"I'm trying to become a professional surfer." Bridgette pressed.

"Oh that's cool! So what are you doing to prepare?"

"I'm taking private lessons and I'm also competing at the Province Level!" Bridgette exclaimed.

"That's great, Bridge!" Courtney said, truly happy for Bridgette.

"So…" Bridgette started, changing the subject. "Geoff tells me that Duncan is really trying to win you back."

"Not hard enough, if you ask me." Courtney scoffed.

"Court, just consider it, okay? I can tell that Duncan is really being sincere this time. He's learned his lesson."

"Alright, Bridge," Courtney sighed. "I'll consider it." Courtney reassured.

"Oh and Geoff also tells me that Duncan has been totally checking you out for a good majority of the night." She said and left to the snack bar.

"I'm so glad I called Bridge to come," Geoff said, looking at Bridgette at the snack bar. "Because listening to you talk about Courtney really gets boring. Not to mention, Dj left to take care of his mom."

"Look who's talking," Duncan scoffed. "You talk about Bridgette all the time. Bridgette this, Bridgette that."

"Yeah whatever, bro." Geoff shrugged.

"What's a corny love song that chicks love to hear?" Duncan pondered out loud.

"Duncan, bro," Geoff advised. "You might want to think this one through. If you really want to win Courtney back, you should sing something that really connects to your troubles and something that's from your heart. You can't just pick any song."

"Dude, as gay as that sounds," Duncan chuckled, to Geoff's dismay. "You're completely right. Looks like Bridgette has been rubbing off on you, Bro!" Duncan chuckled.

"Whatever you say, Duncan." Geoff sighed.

What can I sing to her? Duncan pondered. He thought of some songs. You Belong With Mehe thought. No that's a girl singing to a boy. Making Love? No, that was far too sexual. She'd find him even more vulgar if he were to sing something like that. Duncan banged his head on the table, in frustration. This was going to be harder than he thought. So, he took out his IPod and began to scroll down his list of songs. Rock and metal songs mostly occupied his IPod. Whatever song he sang, it had to be something mentioning his mistakes and how he was sorry. Something that wasn't completely girly like You Belong with Me. Then, he came across an unfamiliar song entitled "Whatcha Say" by Jason Derulo. He put in his earphones and clicked play.

Wha- wha- what did she say
Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmm that you only meant well?
Well of course you did
Mmmm whatcha say, Jason Derulo
Mmmm that it's all for the best?
Of course it is

[Hook:]
So let me in (let me in) give me another chance (another chance)
To really be your man
Cause when the roof caved in and the truth came out
I just didn't know what to do
But when I become a star we'll be living so large
I'll do anything for you
So tell me girl

[Chorus:]
Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmm that you only meant well?
Well of course you did
Mmmm whatcha say (whatcha say)
Mmmm that it's all for the best?
Of course it is
Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmm that you only meant well?
Well of course you did
Mmmm whatcha say (whatcha say)
Wha- wha- wha- wha- what did she say

[Hook]

[Chorus]

Cause when the roof caved in and the truth came out
I just didn't know what to do
But when I become a star we'll be living so large
I'll do anything for you
So baby watcha say!

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

The song completely described him and Courtney's situation. He had cheated, Courtney found out, and he was sorry. The song was very familiar and yes, he would sing this song.

"Hey Geoff! I found the song!" Duncan said only to be disgusted by Geoff and Bridgette in a full-fledged make out session. Those two really needed a room.

I knew it! Courtney thought. She could feel the eyes of someone staring at her when she was dancing and playing games with her friends! Duncan was so checking her out! Well obviously, he isn't over her. He probably was telling the truth when he said he wanted her back.

"Hey Courtney," Anna came over to Courtney's table giggling with… Harold? What kind of foolishness?

"Harold and I have taken a liking to each other." Anna giggled, hugging Harold.

What in the world? Anna can be attracted to the most peculiar of boys. This was a strange, but interesting quality that Anna had.

"You and Harold…?" Courtney said, incredulous. She couldn't wrap her head around the fact. Anna and Harold happily wondered away. Whatever, she thought. She would deal with Harold and Anna later. She had more important things to ponder about.

"It's Karaoke time!" The DJ announced, turning down the current song. Who will be our first volunteer?

A blond teenage girl volunteered and she sang Baby by Justin Bieber. Duncan and Geoff covered their ears not because the girl was a bad singer. But because the sound of Justin Bieber's songs to them were horrifying, annoying, and appalling. It made them want to jump out of the window even if it wasn't Justin Bieber himself singing.

"Dude, this song is Gay." Duncan complained, covering his ears even more.

The next volunteer was another teenage girl who sang Halo by Beyoncé. Duncan never hated this song. But the girl sang it poorly, barely hitting the right notes. Duncan and Geoff couldn't help but cover their ears. She received a scattered applause.

"Alright man, get Celia so she can help me practice this song." Duncan ordered and Geoff did. Celia was a talented singer but she didn't bother to sing in public. She'd be perfect for rehearsing the song with Duncan.

Geoff went to retrieve Celia who was flirting with a red-haired boy at the snack bar. Geoff politely excused himself and pulled Celia away.

"This is important. Duncan's trying to sing a song to Courtney and he needs your help." Geoff pressed.

"Alright." She agreed.

"Okay Duncan, let's hear it." She said, back at their table. Duncan sang the lyrics. Duncan wasn't a bad singer but he wasn't a professional either.

"It sounds good, Duncan. Just stop being timid. Sing your heart out and the singing will become much easier, alright?" She advised.

"Thanks, Celia."

"Let's go over verse 3," She advised. "You have to have those high notes down."

Karaoke was one of Courtney's most favorite things in the world to Courtney. She could sing, which she loved.

"You should go girl. You're a great singer, court." Brittney said.

"Nahh…" Courtney trailed off.

"Come on. Courtney, Courtney, Courtney!" Brittney chanted with Dave and Scott soon chanting with her.

"Alright, Alright I'll do it already."

"And we have Courtney from Eastern Ontario High!" The DJ announced. Courtney told the Dj to find theImpossibleby Shontelle soundtrack. He found it and Courtney began to sing.

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did, I did

And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot
I did

And now when all is done
There is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won
You can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now

Courtney felt every word of the song and she sang her heart out. The song described her. Her parents had always told her to take caution when it comes to love. And, she thought she took caution enough. But Duncan was strong. She thought she had made the right choice.

Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

Falling out of love is hard
Falling for betrayal is worse
Broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know

Thinking all you need is there
Building faith on love and words
Empty promises will wear
I know, I know

And now when all is gone
There is nothing to say
And if you're done with embarrassing me
On your own you can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now

Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible!
Ooh impossible (yeah yeah)

She hoped that Duncan wouldn't cheat her. She thought it was impossible. She thought he was in love with her, even if they did fight a lot. He broke her heart and he embarrassed her.

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now

Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did...

Courtney was currently singing Impossible by Shontelle. People in the audience were moving along to the song, feeling it. Even people doing games stopped to hear her singing. Duncan had heard this song. Courtney was a truly talented and an amazing singer. And Duncan knew, that she was singing to Duncan. Duncan knew that this was truly how she felt and Duncan understood why. He did embarrass her and break her heart. After Courtney finished performing, the crowd went wild and started chanting "Courtney, Courtney!" They begged her to do another song.

"Come on Courtney, the crowd would love to hear you do another song." The DJ enthused.

"Alright, since you guys love me so much," Courtney enthused. "I will!"

Courtney started singing Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye. Celia volunteered to sing Kimbra's part.

[Gotye:]
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

[Kimbra:]
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

[Gotye:]
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

[x2]
Somebody
(I used to know)
Somebody
(Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

(I used to know)
(That I used to know)
(I used to know)
Somebody

"Alright bro," Geoff started. "It's almost your turn. You ready?"

"Yup."

"Let's give it up for Celia and Courtney! Next up we have Duncan!" The Dj announced.

"This song goes out to someone special." Duncan said, staring at Courtney who was now in the audience.

Wha- wha- what did she say
Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmm that you only meant well?
Well of course you did
Mmmm whatcha say, Jason Derulo
Mmmm that it's all for the best?
Of course it is

[Verse 1]
I was so wrong for so long
Only tryin' to please myself (myself)
Girl, I was caught up in her lust
When I don't really want no one else
So, no I know I should of treated you better
But me and you were meant to last forever
Duncan was wrong for cheating on Courtney. He doesn't want anyone else. Courtney is his Princess.
[Hook:]
So let me in (let me in) give me another chance (another chance)
To really be your man
Cause when the roof caved in and the truth came out
I just didn't know what to do
But when I become a star we'll be living so large
I'll do anything for you
So tell me girl
He wants her to give him another chance. He'll do anything for her.
[Chorus:]
Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmm that you only meant well?
Well of course you did
Mmmm whatcha say (whatcha say)
Mmmm that it's all for the best?
Of course it is
Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmm that you only meant well?
Well of course you did
Mmmm whatcha say (whatcha say)
Wha- wha- wha- wha- what did she say

[Verse 2]
How, could I live with myself
Knowing that I let our love go (love go)
And ooh, when I do with one chance
I just gotta let you know
I know what I did wasn't clever
But me and you we're meant to be together
He knows what he did was incredibly stupid. But he and Courtney weren't meant to break up.
[Hook]

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Girl, tell me whatcha said (said)
I don't want you to leave me
Though you caught me cheatin'
Tell me, tell me whatcha said (said)
I really need you in my life
Cuz things ain't right, girl
Tell me, tell me whatcha said (said)
I don't want you to leave me
Though you caught me cheatin'
Tell me, tell me whatcha said (said)
I really need you in my life
Cuz things ain't right
He caught her cheating. But he wanted her. He needs her in his life. He really does. He's sorry.
Cause when the roof caved in and the truth came out
I just didn't know what to do
But when I become a star we'll be living so large
I'll do anything for you
So baby watcha say!

Courtney P.O.V.

I think… Duncan is totally being sincere. I can see that he truly means every word he is saying. He really feels sorry. He really does want me back. He's not lying. No, not this time. I know. Does this mean... I should take him back? We can make it work. We could take it slow. This time, there were would be no more trying to change anyone, no more lies, and most importantly, no more cheating. We could start over.

"Courtney," Duncan announced on the microphone. "I am really sorry for cheating on you. I just want you to know that, you are the only girl that I want. I want you back." Duncan said.

"Awww!" The crowd said.

Duncan came down from the stage to me and stared at me, intently.

"Courtney," He started. "I hope you can tell that I am truly being sin-"He was stopped by a hug from me. He was surprised; he didn't think it would work.

"Does this mean you forgive me?" Duncan asked.

"Of course it does." I started. "But, I think that if we really are going to try a 2nd time, we need to take it slow, one day at a time. There will be no more lies, cheating, or me trying to change you. Or my selfishness. It's just me and you. We should forget about all the bad things that have happened in the past." Courtney said.

"So you're giving me a second chance?" Duncan enthused?

"I guess I am." I smiled. "I forgive you, but, you still have to earn my complete trust back. But hey, we can take it one day at a time." She smiled and Duncan hugged her tighter. "Aww, Duncan, you really can be sweet."

"I am not sweet." Duncan defended, and I gave him a smirk. "Well, only for you, Princess."

Princess. I miss that pet name.

A/N: Did you like that chapter? I own no songs mentioned in this chapter. I enjoyed writing this one! Anna and Harold? Together? Looks like Duncan and Courtney will be taking it slow. This story should be coming to an end soon. I will be doing a 7th chapter! Thanks to all my readers and reviewers. I have gotten 23 reviews! My goal is 25 or more! I am currently working on the Civil Rights story. I have decided to make Courtney mixed, half black, half Hispanic. Well, review!
