"My Other Self"

Episode 1: Just like a Movie.

Once upon a time, there lived a girl named Cagalli. She was a very kind beautiful and hardworking girl. She was the only daughter of the President, Owner and CEO of ORB Inc. Her mother passed away during her birth so, for the sake of the company and her, Uzumi quickly remarried and adopted the two other daughters of his new wife. Their family was very peaceful that time and they were living in perfect harmony until Duke Uzumi passed away due to an incurable disease. Cagalli's stepmother and stepsisters changed for the worst as they got the family company. Cagalli was made to dress as a maid and do all the chores and work around the house. Even though she had all the rights to their mansion and wealth, she was enslaved and was even forced sleep up in the attic. Cagalli was still very young then and didn't know of her rights but now, she's all grown up at the age of sixteen and has been studying really hard, as she wants to be a successful writer someday.

One day, Cagalli was buying groceries in the supermarket. It was still really early but she had to buy the ingredients she needed to cook breakfast that she always prepares for her stepmother and stepsisters. Cagalli's stepmother has really long and curly grayish blue locks; she also looks unbelievably young for her age as she had plastic surgery to maintain her youth. Her name was Meer. Cagalli's stepsisters are Luna Maria and Meyrin; these two are very girlish in all things, especially Meyrin. They often tell Cagalli to buy the craziest things like imported perfumes, signature bags and designer clothes. What a waste of money.

"Stupid stepmother and stepsisters! They should be the ones doing this and not me!" Cagalli silently grumbled, knowing people would think she's crazy if they hear her talking to herself.

Carrying a big paper bag with her left arm and a plastic bag on her right hand, she was already about to go home and turned to a corner of an alley which leads to the road to their house when she suddenly felt herself hit something hard and she fell to the ground. Everything went flying, including her cap.

"Ouch!" She flinched as she rubbed her butt.

"Are you all right, Miss? I'm so sorry about that, I didn't know someone else was turning at this corner." The man who bumped into her explained and offered his hand to help her up.

But instead of taking it, Cagalli ignored it and just stood up on her own. "Next time, watch where you're going, Bastard!" She yelled at him and started gathering the fruits and vegetables she bought earlier.

The blue-haired guy was instantly taken aback by her rudeness but guessed that it was his fault so he bent down and helped her in picking up her groceries. He handed all of it to her and he also gave her back her cap. Thankfully, she accepted them.

She wore her cap back on, twisting it in her head as she wears it inverted. "Thank you." She silently muttered but he still heard and for some reason, it made him smile.

He then noticed that she was carrying far too much by herself, so as a gentleman that he is, he offered to lend a helping hand but she quickly refused.

"No, thanks." She tried to brush him off.

"Are you sure? You're carrying an awful lot of stuff." He asked again.

"Yeah, of course I'm sure!" She yelled at him again, went pass him and walked away.

Now, he didn't know what it was about her, but he unconsciously found himself following her.

Cagalli felt a weird feeling coming over to her from her back, so she turned and stopped when she was suddenly attacked by a stray dog. The dog has bitten into the plastic bag she was carrying on her right hand, it wouldn't let go and just kept on pulling onto her groceries. Just my luck!

"Go away! Shoo! You, stupid dog!" As much as Cagalli wanted to kick the dog for attempting to steal her groceries she couldn't, she felt bad for the poor thing as it was so skinny and dirty. She knew no one took care of it.

Seeing that she has no other options but to give the dog even a little piece of meat, she peered into the paper bag she was carrying in her left arm and saw the package of raw chicken. "Maybe, I could give him just a little piece." She thought aloud as she kneeled in front of the dog and let down her paper bag.

"Okay, okay. Be a good Doggie and I'll give you some food." And as if the dog could understand her, it released the plastic bag and sat in front of her.

"Good dog!" Cagalli smiled wide and took out the package of chicken but as she was already about to unwrap the meat, the dog suddenly snatched it from her hands and quickly ran away with the whole plastic.

Cagalli just stared at the running dog and wasn't even able to stand up to chase after it. "There goes lunch."

"I've been duped by a dog?" Cagalli silently asked herself as the dog disappeared from her sight. "Meer's gonna kill me! Argh! I'm so stupid!" She started to pull on her hair due to frustration and started on ranting curses.

"Hey miss, are you all right?" A deep but sincere voice brought her back to reality.

She looked up and there he was, the same guy who bumped into her just a few moments ago. She quickly looked down again, blushing hard due to embarrassment. "I'm fine. Though, I just lost my lunch to that dog."

She heard him chuckle.

"Yeah, I know. I saw everything." He answered as he thought. She's not that bad after all, she's even cute.

But with that, Cagalli suddenly stood up and faced him. "You saw everything?" Cagalli stared with wide golden ambers, at the guy with great disbelief.

The bluenette was a bit surprised but answered her query anyway. "Uhh, yeah... From the time the dog bit your bag until it ran away with the food."

"Then, why didn't you come to help me? I could've used the help of a guy like you to chase after it!" She yelled and demanded an answer from him, glaring.

Deep emerald green eyes widened at her as he was taken aback, again. What the hell?

"Uhh, sorry. I was..." He trailed off thinking of an excuse as he couldn't tell her the truth, that he was just watching her the entire time, finding great amusement as the blondie was talking to the dog like an innocent little girl.

"—Oh, forget it!" She cut him off as she grabbed the paper and plastic bag, walking on her way back home.

Then, there it was again. That strange uneasy feeling she felt earlier from before the dog attacked her. She swiftly turned to look back again but this time, it wasn't a dog. She just saw him following her.

"What are you doing?" She asked him.

"Walking." He answered.

She rolled her eyes. "I mean, why are you following me?"

"I'm not following you, I'm just... walking in the same direction." He explained.

Cagalli gave out an exasperated sigh. "We bumped into each other earlier because we were going on exact opposite directions! So, why are you tailing me now?"

He looked down, hiding a blush for being caught. "Nothing in particular."

Cagalli shook her head and looked at him again. "I'm Cagalli, what's your name?"

He's head shot up as he was a bit startled at the question, but was still able to smile and answer. "Athrun. My name's Athrun Zala." Wait, did I just give out my full name?

Cagalli nodded, acknowledging him. "All right, then. Nice to meet you, Athrun." She looked at him, straight in the eyes and continued what she was about to say. "Now, you know me. I know you. We know each other." She explained as if she was talking to a toddler. "So, can you go now? Because I have a life to get back to."

Athrun just stared at her. "She didn't react when I said 'Zala', I wonder why?"

And for a while, she wondered if he was sane.

"Umm, can I go with you?" He suddenly asked.

She raised an eyebrow and finally let out the question that's been on her mind since the moment she met him. "Are you on drugs?"

"No!" He flailed his arms around in defense. "It's just... This is the first time, I've ever been on this side of the city and I—"

"You're lost?" She tried to finish for him.

"No! I know how to get home, I just want to walk around for a bit." He defended as a slight blush crept on his cheeks. What the hell is wrong with me?

Cagalli sighed again for what seems to be the umpteenth time that day. "Well, I have a lot of things to do. So, just go find a tour guide."

"No, I'll help you then!" He rushed to her side.

"What?" But before she could give out protest, he had already taken both the paper and plastic bag of groceries she was holding. Then he started walking to the direction she was heading to, earlier.

"There must be something seriously wrong with you." She said as she walked by his side, guiding him the way to her house.

"So, why did you have to buy so much food?" He asked, trying to make a conversation.

She glanced at him. "Their not just for me, but for my stepmom and stepsisters too."

"Stepmom and stepsisters?" He repeated. "You're adopted?"

"No, my father remarried when my mom died then, when he died I was left stuck with those three." She grunted.

"Oh..." Athrun didn't say anymore, he didn't feel as if he could either.

The rest of the walk was silent until they reached a big gate. It had tall fences and there were many trees inside. Athrun couldn't make out what the mansion looked like because it was located far from the gates, though he did see a big marble-like mansion peeking from behind the trees.

"Is this your house?" Athrun asked. She's rich, but how come she doesn't know me and why does she dress like that? Athrun then studied her again. She was wearing a green cap, a dark red jacket, black khaki pants and sneakers.

"Well, it used to be my home but now it's just a place I go back to because there's nowhere else to go. Are you coming inside?" She didn't even let him question her answer.

"No, it'd seem to be bothersome anyway. I'll just see you around." He handed her back her groceries.

"Yeah, sure. See yah!" She opened the gates and closed it before giving him a final wave and slowly disappearing from sight.

The next morning. She met him again on the same corner of that same street, as if he was waiting for her. And for the next few days, he was always there. She would always find him leaning onto the wall of the corner of that street, he would approach her and walk her home. That same scenario went on for a couple of days until it turned to weeks and months.

In this short period of time, they were both able to get to know each other little by little. Athrun and Cagalli started to look forward to every walk they take, it always seems to be the highlight of their days and always looked forward to it again every night.

However, all good things come to an end. Eventually.

And that was unfortunately, today.

Athrun and Cagalli were walking side by side with Athrun carrying the groceries when they were suddenly attacked by Cagalli's evil stepsisters. (Lol!)

"You...?" Luna pointed an accusing finger on Athrun.

Meer, their mother sent the two sisters to wait for Cagalli by the gate and when the two redheads saw her with a hot hunk, they jumped in front of them for an ambush.

"It's not nice to point, Luna" Meyrin whispered from her back but Luna didn't care. Cagalli had no right to have a famous and rich hot hunk for a suitor!

Athrun turned to Cagalli. "You know them?"

Cagalli answered with half-lidded eyes, staring at the two redheads. "Unfortunately, yes." She turned to him. "Athrun, these are my stepsisters, Luna and Meyrin. Luna is the one who's still pointing a finger at you and the one with pigtails is Meyrin." After seeing Athrun give a nod, Cagalli shifted her attention to the two in front of them. "Luna, Meyrin. This is Athrun."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Athrun gave a curt nod which only made the two redheads blush but nevertheless, Luna seemed unshaken.

"Uhm, you can put your finger down now, Luna." Cagalli called for her attention when she noticed that the redhead was slowly drifting away to a faraway land where dreams do come true.

"Err, right. So, why is he with you?" Luna didn't give her the chance to embarrass herself more.

"He's just walking me home." Cagalli answered flatly, not caring about showing her irritation.

Athrun, however was a bit bothered by it all. Cagalli would find out who he is if her sisters would try to pry more of him. He turned to her to excuse himself. "I think I gotta go, Cagalli."

Cagalli understood the silent plea he was sending her and just nodded. He handed her back the bags of groceries just like in their first meeting, the only difference was that she was the one who watched him disappear from sight.

Once Athrun was out of sight, Cagalli was suddenly bombarded with questions by both her sisters. Well, she expected them to do so in the beginning.

"Is he courting you?"

"Why do you have such a hot hunk for a suitor?"

"Or maybe, he's your boyfriend already?"

"Did you offer him your body?"

"Do you have plans to elope?"

"Have you slept with him yet?"

"How long has this been going on?"

"Does he like you?"

"Do you like him?"

"Can I have him?"

"I'm gonna tell mom!"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Cagalli yelled as she couldn't take more of it. "Whatever happens to my life is completely none of your business!" Then she turned and walked into the manor.

But before she could get far, Luna grabbed her arm. "Do you even know who he is?"

Cagalli was confused with the question, of course she knew who he is, she was the one who introduced them to him earlier, did she not?

"He... he's the only son and the sole heir to the Zaft Corp!" Luna continued when Cagalli seemed to know absolutely nothing.

Cagalli was shocked. Zaft was the wealthiest, most famous, most powerful and most influential company in the face of the world. And she was always walked home by the guy who'll be the most important person in the face of the universe one day.

"You're kidding, right?" Cagalli forced a chuckle.

"Cagalli, the 'Z' in Zaft came from Zala." Meyrin chimed in.

Remembering that he's full name was 'Athrun Zala', Cagalli didn't say more and neither did Luna or Meyrin, there was no more need.

After yelling at her sisters earlier, Meer, the evil stepmother, ordered Cagalli to clean the entire mansion all by herself as punishment and since they were having a special guest in the next three days.

Cagalli was mopping the floor of the dining hall and when she was finally done, she was Meyrin come in with a big box of chocolate cake. Cagalli didn't mind her though, as she quickly busied herself by wiping the huge glass windows which lead to the balcony. I got more important matters to think about.

But trying to ignore her was a big mistake.

Luna came in completely furious, probably about something that Meyrin did.

"How dare you?" She pointed accusingly at the pigtailed redhead.

"How could I what?" Meyrin seemed to only provoke her.

"That's my cake, you're eating!" Luna tried to take away the now open box from Meyrin, only to fail when the big cake dropped on the floor.

"My floor!" Cagalli was devastated, she spent over three hours trying to make it spotless!

"Look at what you did, Meyrin!" Luna yelled, ignoring Cagalli.

"What I did? That was your fault! You were the one who pulled at the lid!" Meyrin countered with just as much intensity of anger since she was really craving for chocolate earlier.

"That was still your fault! You tried to eat my chocolate without permission!" Luna yelled again.

"I did get permission! from Mom!" Meyrin was starting to get really irritated at her know-it-all sister.

"Still, that was my chocolate! You should've asked me instead!" Luna won't back down now, not since that chocolate cost her a week's worth of allowance and it just got wasted.

Meyrin had enough. "You want your chocolate? Then fine, you can have all of it!" She then bent down to get a handful of chocolate and quickly smudged it all on Luna's face.

Luna gasped but surprise quickly turned to uncontrolable anger, she slowly wiped her face with her hands. "You are so gonna pay for that!" She hissed before grabbing the entire bos of the cake and dumping it onto Meyrin.

"Stop!" Cagalli tried to stop them from doing anymore damage on her clean floor. "Stop it already! I just mopped the floor!"

The redhead sisters suddenly stopped but only to look at her for a moment before charging onto each other, throwing cake all over the place and creating a big mess.

Then, Cagalli blew a fuse.

She charged onto her stepsisters, making sure to get both of them completely covered and being the stronger one amogst the three, she had no problem winning the chocolate fight.

Meer was walking down the staircase when she heard her daughters in mirthful fits of laughter but what came a surprise to her is that they were laughing along with Cagalli. She instantly got curious and dicided to take a peek at what was going on in the dining hall, only to be shocked at the scene.

There on the floor was her two dughters and her adopted child. The three were covered with chocolate but they weren't the only ones. The entire hall was a big mess all on it's own. Chocolate was smeered everywhere! The floor was barely giving out it's color, the walls and windows had chunks of chocolate sticking onto it and the chandelier was brown. Makes you kinda wonder how they reached that but that's not the problem right now. The problem was that they have special guests coming later that afternoon.

They're so dead.

"Cagalli Yula Athha!" Meer's high-pitched shrill of a voice came echoing in the fullness of the hall. "Clean this up at once!"

Cagalli shot up. "What? But this isn't my fault!"

"I don't care! Clean this up now!" Meer then turned to her chocolate-covered daughters. "And you two, clean yourselves up now! We have special guests for tonight and I plan to impress him! So, you two better not humiliate me! Go take a bath now!"

Luna and Meyrin looked at each other first before responding in unison. "Yes, mother!"

Meer then shoved her daughters out of the dining hall and slammed the doors shut on Cagalli. The whole day she spent on cleaning the big mess that her stepsisters created, well she had her share in making the mess but she wouldn't have done that if they didn't started it.

While mopping the floor again, Cagalli saw her reflection on the fine marble. She was dirty and covered in chocolate. Her hair was in total disarray and so was her clothes. She was wearing a white shirt which isn't white anymore and a long skirt with an apron. Was she really reduced to being a mere servant? And in her own house?

Cagalli felt as if the whole world was against her but that's not what's really bothering her. The subject of her troubles and concerns were actually Athrun, she hasn't seen him since she introduced him to her stepsisters. It was already the third day that he wasn't waiting for her at the corner of that street and it made her feel as if he was chased away by her stepsisters. Well, he really was. Or maybe, he's already figured I knew his secret?

Cagalli sighed again, now that she finished mopping the floor for the second time that day, she still needed to clean up the walls, windows and the chandelier. How did it get dirty in the first place, it was so high up there?

After what seems like five hours, Cagalli was finally able to smile at how she cleaned up the entire place. It was a job well done.

"Cagalli!" It was Meer again.

"Yes, mother?" Cagalli turned to her when she barged into the room.

"Don't call me mother, call me Milady." She pouted with both of her hands on her hips.

"I mean, what is it, Milady?" Cagalli tried not to burst a vein.

"Go clean yourself up and prepare the afternoon tea with cakes. My special guests will arrive soon, set the table in the balcony."

Cagalli did as she was told and when the guests finally arrived, she was told to serve them tea.

Cagalli was stunned to say the least, she was speechless. There on the balcony, sitting in perfect poise of a gentleman was Athrun. He didn't seem to take notice of her as he was completely distracted by Meer. She was completely latched onto him and kept on pulling on his arm. Cagalli thought he wouldn't recognize her because she was wearing a maid's outfit and her hair was in a bun so, she just casually served tea and acted as if she never saw him.

After she served him tea, Athrun took it and muttered a silent word of gratitude. He then looked up only to drop his cup on Meer, out of utter surprise. It was her, just the girl he was looking for.

"Ahh!" Meer's high-pitched scream broke him out of his thoughts as the tea that he dropped on her was boiling hot.

"I am so sorry!" Athrun shot up as he couldn't believe what he's just done.

"Ah, no. It's okay, it was an accident." Meer forced a smile for him. "I'll just clean up for a bit, excuse me."

"Mom, are you all right?" Meyrin chased after her and Luna followed suit.

Cagalli was about to follow them too, if it weren't for Athrun's sudden hold of her. "Cagalli?"

She looked back at him and quickly looked down, embarrassed.

"Sorry, I wasn't there for the past three days. I had to go out of town for some business and I forgot to tell you about it." Athrun stared intently at her with those loving eyes she had missed so much. "I came here to see you. So, how have you been?"

Cagalli smiled genuinely for the first time in three days. "Still breathing." She said with a slight giggle.

He laughed. That was kind of a private joke for only the two of them. Whenever he would ask her how she was, she'd always say 'still alive' or 'still breathing' to let him know that even though life seems tough, she's living it.

"I wanted to talk to you. You see, my family's company will be hosting a grand party tomorrow night and I was wondering... if you would come with me as my date?" He looked away with a blush.

Cagalli didn't know what to say. "I don't know, I don't really go to parties... and I don't think I have something to wear..."

Even before Athrun could reply. Meer popped out of nowhere. "If she's not going then, I'll go with you!" She beamed.

Athrun took a step back. "Err..."

"Mom, you're too old! He'd rather go with me, I'm sure!" Luna piped in.

"No! He's taking me!" Meyrin jumped in the middle of the two.

Athrun sweat-dropped and chuckled nervously. Then he noticed that Cagalli has already left the area. She obviously already knows.

"What am I going to do, Lacus?" Cagalli said as she slumped on the pink bed. When Athrun got distracted by Meer, Luna and Meyrin, she took the opportunity to get away. She was sure she wouldn't be good enough to be with him on that night. Then, she went over to her best friends' house.

"I think, you should go." Lacus smiled.

"What? Are you crazy?" Cagalli was baffled at Lacus' reaction.

Lacus smiled more. "Kira's invited in that party too and we'll be going together, wanna tag along?"

Cagalli blinked. "I don't know... He's probably went with someone else already..."

"Then, let's find out! We'll surely see him there and don't worry, I'll make sure he doesn't recognize you." Lacus giggled as she opened her closet.

"What do you mean?" Cagalli tried to ease herself from the bad feeling.

Lacus took out a beautiful green dress and turned to look at her with a bright but somehow frightening smile.

"I'm gonna be your fairy god mother."

It was the night of the party and a lot of people were already starting to gather in the grand ballroom. Athrun was still stuck in his room, pacing back and forth for tonight was the night he promised his parents he'll introduce his girlfriend. But alas, Cagalli isn't coming—heck, she's not even his girlfriend to begin with.

"I'm so dead, what am I gonna do? What am I gonna tell father and mother?" Athrun bit his lower lip and pulled his hair in frustration but that obviously didn't help him.

Then, he suddenly heard his cellphone ring. He picked it up quick and placed it near his ear.

"Hello, Athrun? It's me, Kira. Mission accomplished!"

Cagalli and Lacus were sitting in a table near the balcony. Lacus was wearing a wonderful blue gown with frills on the side of each layer. Cagalli was in a beautiful green tube dress with a white sash over her left shoulder. They just got into the party and didn't wanna mingle too much with the crowd so they chose to stay somewhere that wouldn't attract so much attention.

"Lacus, I'm scared." Cagalli called for her best friend's attention. "What if my Meer finds out I went with you here? Instead, of cleaning the basement back at home?"

"Don't worry, Cagalli. We'll be home by midnight and I'll get Kira to help us clean the basement afterwards when we get to your house." Lacus assured her.

"Still..." Cagalli shifted uncomfortably, she could feel the perverted looks most of the men around them are giving her. "What's taking Kira so long?"

"He'll be back here, soon. He just went off to greet his best friend." Lacus explained.

Cagalli gave out an exasperated sigh. "Who the hell is his best friend, anyway? Is he more important than his own girlfriend?"

Lacus giggled nervously. "Cagalli, Kira's best friend is the host of this party."

"Eh?"

But before Cagalli could interpret what that meant, react about it and make a run for her life, all the lights in the ball room dimmed, signalling for the beginning of the main event.

Cagalli abruptly stood up from her seat and turned when she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Where do you think you're going, Cagalli?"

It was Kira, grinning like an idiot that he is not. Maybe.

The next thing Cagalli knew is that she was being dragged in the middle of a hallway somewhere in the back of the ball room.

"Where the hell are you taking me?" Cagalli tried to pry her wrist out of Kira's hold but it was futile, Lacus was behind her giving her a push every now and then.

"This is for your own good, Cagalli." She heard Kira say.

"And this will be for him too." Lacus added.

"Him? Who's him?" Cagalli started to wonder about a midnight blue-haired, emerald green-eyed, rich and famous man who always walked her from the supermarket to her house. "No, it can't be."

Before she could say anything, she was swiftly shoved into a dark room and they closed the door behind her.

"Where is this?" Cagalli wondered while taking in what was in that room, it seems to be a parlor but it was too dark for her to confirm. She then, saw the doors of the balcony open and a man seems to be standing there.

She decided to take a step forward and then another and another few more steps until she was already behind him. He looked back at her and smiled. It was him. It was Athrun.

"Good evening, Cagalli." His deep voice send shivers down her spine, she saw him just yesterday but it felt like forever when she thought she wasn't gonna see him again. "How have you been?"

Cagalli smiled. "Still breathing."

And after a short pause, they both laughed.

"What are you doing here?" Cagalli asked, curiosity filled her. "Aren't you supposed to be back there, having fun?"

Athrun smiled sadly. "Yeah... but my date didn't show up."

Cagalli felt a little guilty. Surely he was talking about her and not someone else, right? She looked down, not knowing what else to say.

"What about you, what are you doing here?" He asked, taking a step closer.

Cagalli didn't seem to notice as she didn't react, her eyes were focused on the miracle that she was wearing heels. "I was dragged here by Kira and Lacus."

Athrun chuckled. "Yeah... I asked them too."

With this Cagalli's head shot up and looked at him with wide and surprised golden orbs. But then, she was stunned to realize that he was already so close.

Cagalli was speechless.

Athrun doesn't seem to mind. "You know, I promised my parents I'd introduce them to my girlfriend tonight." He took another step closer.

Cagalli could feel his breath on her face but she just stared, too shocked to react. What was he saying again? The message seemed to not reach her brain at all.

Athrun realized this and arched an eyebrow. "Hey are you okay?"

Cagalli nodded and blushed hard before turning her head away. Athrun's smile reached his ears.

"Listen," He slowly wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her even closer, he breathed her scent. "Cagalli... marry me."

Cagalli's eyes almost fell out as she suddenly pulled away from him. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! What the hell did you just say?"

What the hell was he talking about? They weren't even a couple yet!

Athrun chuckled and shook his head. "You don't have to worry about anything, Cagalli. I'll take care of everything, all you have to do is say yes." He approached her again and cornered her to the railing.

Cagalli looked back as she was being pushed to the balcony's railing. "Why the hell is a cliff there? "

"Cagalli..." He called back her attention, while snaking his hands around her waist and trapping her in his arms.

"Athrun..." She said his name and in an instant she could swear his face dimmed—no, wait. He's leaning closer!

Cagalli gasped and their lips were sealed.

Athrun slowly and sensuously devoured her mouth but before she thought she'd faint, he pulled away. Both of them dazed.

"I love you, Cagalli." He looked intently at her. "Tell me, you love me too."

Cagalli took a few moments to regain herself, but gave it away quickly afterwards. "I love you too, Athrun." She said breathlessly and they smiled at each other.

And as the clock struck midnight...

They kissed again.

"And cut!" The director shouted through the megaphone as he signaled for the credits to roll. "That was a wrap! Great work, people!"

AN:

Just so you guys know (if you didn't figure it out yet), this entire chapter was just a movie and they were all the actors/actresses. I used their original names for I do not wish to confuse any of you and since I won't be using screen names either, I think it'd be unnecessary.

The movie was inspired by (not based on), Cinderella Monogatari, A Cinderella story and A walk to remember. I honestly didn't wanna give it the same title so I just came up with 'Just like a movie'.

So, how was it? Let your existence be known, review me now!^^

And no flames, please respect that this is my fic. Thank you!
