A/N: I'm baaaaacckkk! I have to admit that after finishing "Leavin' On A Jet Plane", and the horrible news about season 3, my inspiration and creative juices, just stopped. Luckily, another great idea came into my head. This is a Betty going solo fic... for now. I might make it a shippy one eventually.

If you do not know the spoilers for season 3, you might want to avoid this fic for now. It might spoil the surprise (if you call it a surprise, more of an "OMG" shocker.). But those who know, here is another one.

As you can probably guess, it will be AU and it starts in the present and it will flash forward five years. I hope all you like this!

Special thanks and shoutouts to Henry's Honey's over at I-C, who keep us optimistic and just not wicked depressed, and to Erin for reading/proofreading this for me. As always reads/reviews are appreciated and I hope that this (and I think it) wont cause controversy like last time.

Enjoy!

-Prologue-

Betty takes a deep breath as she steps out of her house, luggage in tow. She walks down the steps and looks back at her childhood home one last time before letting the cab driver put her luggage in the trunk and she opens the door to the cab, getting into it and buckling her seatbelt.

"Where to?" the cabbie asks.

"JFK please." Betty says as the can pulls away from her home.

As the car drives to the airport, she looks out the window as the car passes places that have triggered so many memories, now flooding into her brain. She sees the playground where her, Hilda, and their mother played in every Sunday afternoon, MODE, Gio's shop, and Central Park, specifically The Bridge. So many happy, sad, and interesting memories of her life, and the two men determined to be in it. She hates being a heartbreaker, but she knows her decision. She knows what to do.

She gets more nervous as she gets closer to the airport? What happens is she gets seen by one of them. She hasn't told either of them who or if she going with. Rome? Marriage? Does she really want it?

The cabbie stops the car, and Betty takes out her money as the driver gets her luggage out of the car. She pays and thanks the cabbie and walks into the airport feeling the blast of cool air on the hot day as the cab drives away. She walks up to a blonde receptionist at the main desk.

"May I help you?" she asks.

"Yes. I have a letter for two separate people going to two different locations. I was wondering if I can just get them to their prospective gates and deliver them?" Betty asks.

"Let me just call my supervisor to make sure it is ok. But before I do, I will just need some information for security purposes."

Betty promptly gives the receptionist who she is, what people and flights they're on and their locations, as the lady writes it down. As the receptionist calls her supervisor and gives her boss the information, Betty cautiously look around the main lobby, hoping not to see Gio or Henry. Both of them wont arrive for a few hours, but she wanted to be safe to arrive early, plus she booked hers for a couple of hours before their flights.

"Ok. You are all clear. Just go through one of our security checks, and leave your luggage here, so it will stay safe. Just come back to get it." the woman says handing betty a chain with a security clearance card.

"Thank you." Betty says walking away and putting on the chain around her neck. She goes through the security checkpoint and off to the first gate. She walks up to the desk with a busty brunette working behind it.

"Bo journo! How may I help you?" she asks.

"Hi, you got a call that I was delivering a letter to someone on a flight later today."

"Yes, can I have your name, the recipients name and what flight?"

"Betty Suarez for Gio Rossi, flight 687 to Rome, Italy." Betty says, taking the letter out of her purse. It simply says Gio.

"All set." the clerk says taking it.

"Grazi and have a nice day." Betty says walking away.

"Ciao!" the woman says.

She goes through another maze of terminals and to her second gate. She stops and sits for a moment. She takes an unsealed envelope out of her purse, and reaches into her pocket. She takes the ring, puts it in the envelope with the letter, seals it, and labels it Henry. Just Henry.

She delivers the letter no problem and returns to the main lobby, gives back the card, gets her luggage and proceeds to her gate. She walked up just as they were boarding her flight. She gives her ticket to the lady at the desk and boards the plane. As she finds her seat, sits down, and buckles her seatbelt, she can't believe she is doing this.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to flight 189 to the Grand Canyon. Please make sure that your seatbelt is safely fastened and everything in its upright decision. We will be taking off in a few moments. Welcome and thank you for flying with us." she hears the stewardess say over the intercom.

As the plane moves and lifts off the ground, she closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, and smiles.

"Gotta take the jump…" she says to herself as she feels the plane going higher and higher, and farther away leaving her problems behind her…
