------------------------------------------------------------

The earth has the usual beautiful lakes and mountains... but what is it like up above... and down there? The Queen of Heaven, Courtney and The King of Hell, Duncan have their love history, before and after death;
Opposites attract type of love story. Duncan then became Satan's assistant then became The Devil.

Halloween night, Duncan rises from hell, during Halloween night; Demons get to roam around earth.
Queen Courtney floats down from Heaven and stands before the devil,
"Why hello princess"
Duncan bows down before chuckling,
"What are you devising, devil?" Courtney asks.
Duncan laughs evily at his former love,
"Call me Duncan, baby"
Duncan then smirks,
"Or are you too pissed off on what I did three centuries ago?"
The angel's skin turns an angry red.
"YOU IGNORAMUS SCHMUCK OF A-"
The Queen of Heaven takes a breath, trying to keep her anger from coming out.
"Aww, your insanity is so cute" Duncan teases;
"You cheated on me with the God of Lust, then the God of Death"
Their real names', Gwen and Lindsay,
"So?"
Courtney felt as if she could cry, she still has love for Duncan.
"Aww, are you gonna cry for me? Aw prin-"
Courtney's, what Duncan would say 'insanity' came out with a punch to the face.

Duncan's face turns to three teenagers, a blonde boy, a Spanish boy, and a blonde surfer girl
"I have an idea, we pick one of those boys to see who would steal her heart"
Courtney smirks,
"Whoever loses, becomes a prisoner to the winer"
They both shake hands. The wager has started.

Courtney turns herself into an elderly woman and walks up to the blonde nineteen year old boy,
"Good evening young boy" she asks in a raspy voice
"What's up dude? The name's Geoff" He asks,
"Do you know how to use this?"
She holds up a phone,
"Sure, what do you wanna do?"
"I wanna call someone"
"Alright, who?"
"My... husband"
"Alright... just press their name right here and then you're good"
"Thank you, for return, you have my blessing"
"Thanks dudette"
"Uh... you're welcome"
She walks away smirking at Duncan.
"Beat that two-timer"
Courtney may be smart, but very ignorant at the moment. What she doesn't know, is that Duncan has given the Spanish guy, Alejandro, a guitar that could sway any girl in a matter of seconds.

Courtney watches the sun sets on top of a big building in Canada. The cold air of the fall season greets her face, her vanilla scent spreading like butter through the crisp air.
She then looks down at the blonde girl, Bridgette and Geoff talking,
"Alejandro is very flirty, I just can't take it" Geoff explains,
"Tell me about it, he's a reeeeal ladies' man"
They both laugh.
Courtney smiles at this, at this point she doesn't care about the expendable wager, she just loves seeing Geoff happy.
Her face expression changes to curiosity when Geoff leaves and Alejandro comes creeping around. She watches as he takes out a familiar guitar and starts playing. At first the tone sounded familar, then he starts singing a song,
"He's dead"
Courtney's rage gets the best of her, she summons Duncan to where she is before punching his teeth out,
"You gave Alejandro the guitar of love?! That's cheating!"
Duncan shrugs,
"You gotta do what you-"
The devil sucks in breath as he gets kicked between his legs.
"I can't believe you can't do a simple thing without cheating"
Duncan rolls his eyes,
"Always bringing up the past? Mad because they were better in bed than you?"
Courtney roll her eyes trying to keep in the tears before flying away.

The next two weeks Courtney has been watching Geoff and Bridgette getting closer and completely ignoring the devil himself.
Duncan, on the other hand, would try his very best to get the attention of his princess, yes.. his princess. He even gets so jealous when she talks with Justin,
"I smell Jealousy"
He looks and sees the God of Good, DJ.
"would I be jealous, I cheated on the little whore"
"So you're not mad that she's flirting with Justin"
Duncan looks over his shoulder and sees Justin kissing Courtney on the cheek.
"Why the fuck is he kissing my girl!?"
The devil storms over there before pushing Justin back to hell,
"What is your problem?" She asks.
Duncan looks down at her lips, her plum, peach colored lips that he would love to attack.
"I-I just... um...."
What do you expect him to say? Courtney I'm in love with you?!
They both look down at Alejandro kissing Bridgette.
"Look, your boy won the heart of Bridgette, congratulations Duncan.. you won"
Courtney jumps to fly away, but Duncan grabs her left wing. She looks back and looks at him straight in the eyes, that is... until they both see the Spanish teenager leave angry before Geoff comes to comfort her.
"Or so you thought" Duncan says.
Geoff and Bridgette start making out after a few minutes of talking.
"Will you marry me Bridge?" Geoff asks,
"YES! YES A HUNDRED TIMES YES!!!!"
Courtney smiles at this,
"I guess you won princess..."
The Devil grabs the Queen's hands before interlocking their fingers together.
"Honestly... I think you should stay in hell, it suits you better" Courtney smiles.
They both teleport to the church, where Bridgette and Geoff would get married;
"Princess, I'm sorry... I didn't know how good I had until after it was done, just seeing you with other male species... I just want to hold you in my arms, a-and be by your side, a-and kiss you until my lips go raw because I just love you so-"
"I love you too, Dunkie"
Duncan pulls Courtney closer until their lips connect. Four hearts has came together that evening, the boy and the girl, and the Queen and the Devil.
