Thank you, o' great reviewers! You make me happy. I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while... I've been busy with school and such. Let's keep this A/N short and sweet ;) I love you guys.
And I love me' fries! Siretha and ThatKidFromSchool, you guys are my fries! I love you guys, you're so awesome. I especially wrote this for you guys, since I have to, because I forced Curly to write DPG. (Ignore this, because most of you won't understand!)
You should check out "When Opposites Attract" by Siretha. It's like a super intriguing story! Oh, if you want some Spoby fluffiness and fun, check out "Don't Play Games" by ThatKidFromSchool. Those stories are awesomely awesome. They're so addicting. I can't wait to read the new chapters for those!
Anyways, I promised the A/N would be short... so... yeah.
Thanks for the reviews! You make me smile:)
Sorry this chapter's pretty short... Hehe.

Chapter 3
"Will you move in with me?"
In her head... 'Yes! More than anything in the world. I want to wake up each morning, entangled with you. I want to be able to kiss you goodbye before I go to school, and I want to see you the most that I can. There's nothing I'd want more than to be with you.'
But no. That's not what she said. She didn't actually have an option to say that... As much as she wanted to move in with him, how could she?
Her parents would probably ground her just for thinking about moving in with her low-life boyfriend. They barely approved of her seeing him at all, so she wasn't expecting their happiness and joy for her moving out with him.
Toby was looking at her with his puppy-dog face. He had his blue eyes opened widely in eagerness, hoping for a positive response.
"I... can't," Spencer uttered out nervously.
Well damn. That's not what Toby was expecting. Well, maybe Spencer didn't want to see him that much. Or... maybe she didn't like the idea of moving in at this age. His smile and puppy dog face faded to hurt.
"Toby," Spencer extended her arm and wrapped it around the back of Toby's neck. She played with the small amount of hair on his neck. "I want to, but you know I can't. Not right now."
He stared at the floor, still feeling hurt. He knew she only meant well, but he still couldn't help but feel dejected and rejected. (A/N: OMG. THOSE RHYME!)
"Why not?" Toby curiously asked, sadness still hinting in his voice.
She took a deep breath. "For a lot of reasons," she blandly spoke, not giving much detail. "You know... Parents and all. I don't they'd be very fond of the idea of me moving out of the house at this age. I'm not even out of high school yet."
"They can't control you like that," Toby wasn't going to give this idea up. He wanted her to move in with him, more than anything. "You're over eighteen," he continued with his argument. "They have no right."
She lifted her head slightly up, and leaned in to give him a small peck on the cheek.
"I know I'm over eighteen, but they're still my parents," she sighed. "They're still the same old protective parents I've always had. There's no way they're letting me out of that house to move in with someone, especially if it's my own boyfriend."
He took one of her hands and planted a kiss on her knuckles.
"I love you so much," he softly spoke. "I'd never do anything you're not willing to do-"
Spencer was shocked about the topic he was speaking of. She cut him off before he got into more detail.
"No, it's not just about that, Toby," Spencer shook her head. "It's about a lot more things. They won't think I'm ready to leave the house. They'll think you're a distraction, and they'll blame you if my grades go down."
"Your grades won't go down. I have a genius girlfriend," Toby smiled.
Spencer pecked his lips.
"Look... I can't," Spencer shook her head. "I want to, but I can't."
"Is this all about your parents?" Toby asked. There was a little bit of anger towards her parents in his tone.
"No!" Spencer blurted quickly. "Okay... Yes, it is."
"I'll talk to them. I'll set things straight for them. Please!" Toby pleaded. "I'll stay by your side the entire time."
"I don't know," Spencer bit her lip.
"Please," Toby begged again.
"I really don't know, Toby," Spencer sighed.
"Please," he repeated.
"Fine," Spencer reluctantly said.
"Yes?" Toby grinned.
"Yes," Spencer gave in.
"I love you!" Toby exclaimed. "This is going to be amazing. We can-"
"Don't get ahead of yourself, Cavanaugh," Spencer chuckled. "I agreed to talk with my parents, not move in. It all depends on what they say."
"Are you serious?" Toby sighed.
"They call the shots," Spencer shrugged. "They're the ones in charge of me. They basically own me."
"Fine. Can we go right now to talk to them?" Toby asked. "The sooner you talk to them, the sooner we get to know if you get to move in."
"No," Spencer shook her head. "Not right now, at least. It's getting late, and they'll probably be pissed that I'm even with you."
Toby sighed and spoke in an offended tone, "Well then..."
"Hey, I'm here with you right now," Spencer tried to cheer him up. "Why don't we make the most of it?"
Toby's eyes widened.
"No! Not like that," Spencer rolled her eyes. "I already told you, I'm not ready for that."
"I know, I know," Toby sighed. "That's why I was so shocked."
"I meant that we could spend a little time together," Spencer smiled. "It's your first day back in Rosewood."
"Sounds good to me," Toby smiled back. "So, shall we go back down memory lane?"
"What are you talking about?" Spencer asked.
"Just wait a second," Toby told her. He shushed her with a quick kiss on the lips, and then walked to some other room.
He returned with the same pair of plaid pajama pants from the night of their stay at the motel in one hand, and in the other hand was a different shirt of his. She smiled at the scene of this, and giggled a little.
"So that's what you meant by memory lane," Spencer chuckled.
"It sure is. Top or bottom?" Toby asked with a smirk.
"Bottom," Spencer joked as she licked her lips.
"Ha-ha, very funny. You know that I was just kidding," Toby chuckled.
He tossed her the top.
"I'd prefer you without a top, and you know that," Spencer flirted a little.
"I'd prefer you without one, too," Toby smirked.
"Ugh, you're so not romantic anymore!" Spencer laughed. "You're not supposed to say that to a girl. Normal boyfriends don't do this!"
"Well, I'm not a normal boyfriend," Toby smiled. "I'm just Toby."
"No, you're just an ass," Spencer joked.
"Not really, but I'd like to see yours," Toby joked back.
"Oh my gosh Toby," Spencer face-palmed after she said that. "Enough with the sexual jokes! They're not even funny anymore."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Toby sighed. "I know you're not ready, and it was wrong of me to joke about that stuff."
"It's not your fault... I started it," Spencer said.
"You're not a normal girlfriend, either," Toby said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Spencer asked. "Is that a bad thing?"
"No," Toby shook his head. "Normal girlfriends would let me take all the blame. Girls never admit they're wrong- kind of like how you don't admit that I beat you at Scrabble."
"Okay look, you didn't beat me! You just got lucky. I was having a bad day that day, anyways," Spencer stared at the floor. "And I thought most guys would want a normal girlfriend."
"I don't want to date a normal girl, I want to date you," Toby said. After realizing what he had said, he quickly flicked his head up and said, "Oh crap, that came out wrong."
"Smooth, Cavanaugh," Spencer chuckled. "Well, since you said that, I guess I don't want to date a normal guy, either. I just want to date you, you little ass."
"You want to be my girlfriend, yet you still call me an ass?" Toby asked with a chuckle.
"Right on," Spencer nodded. "God, I missed you. Come here."
Toby dropped the pajama pants on the floor temporarily, and followed Spencer to the bed.
"I missed you too, abnormal girlfriend," Toby joked as he pulled his petite girlfriend into his arms.
"A normal couple is boring. I like us, since we're abnormal," Spencer said. "If you were normal, you'd be boring."
"You think I'm not boring?" Toby asked happily.
"If you were boring, I would have dumped you by now," Spencer said as she nuzzled into his chest.
"Well... I think you're not boring, either," Toby said.
"Is this how we compliment each other?" Spencer asked with a laugh. "By calling each other 'not boring' and 'not normal'?"
"That's the way abnormal couples compliment each other, I guess," Toby chuckled.
"Damn. Just damn. I just love you so damn much," Spencer whispered. "You're the best abnormal boyfriend ever."
"Mmm," Toby mubled as he held her tight in his arms. "As much as I love you, and doing this with you, I should probably go change. You should change, too."
"Dammit," Spencer sighed. "Alright, fine. I guess you're right."
"I am right," Toby smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be back in a second, abnormal girlfriend. Don't miss me too much."
"I won't," Spencer rolled her eyes.
"Fine, I guess you don't want to cuddle up with me tonight?" Toby smirked.
"No, no, I do! I was just kidding!" Spencer said.
"Then tell me how much you'll miss me," Toby said.
"Fine, I'll miss you a lot," Spencer rolled her eyes. "Yeah, but not as much as I missed you while you were gone."
"At least you'll miss me," Toby shrugged. "Love you."
"Love you, too."
