NIXON'S BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!! For another exciting update. I know, I changed my name between chapters… But at least you still know who I am.

Disclaimer: Since I haven't made one in awhile, no, I don't own anything.

I had to keep myself from squealing with delight once the doctor gave us the good news. Cody was going to be walking… By tomorrow!? I could hardly contain myself, but I managed to stay as calm as possible.

And to think, it hadn't even been a week…

NIXON COMMANDS TIME, ENTER FLASHBACK!!

Cody fainted. No, seriously, he fainted. After my much more loving kiss, I guess he just was overwhelmed…

I sighed happily.

To be honest, I wasn't too sure what I was thinking right now; too much was going on in my head. From Trent and Heather kissing to Cody defending me like that…

It had taken up until now for me to understand just how much Cody cared for me. And I… I was… Touched, for lack of a better word.

I had come to a realization at this point, something I should have seen a long time ago. I found myself recalling past events on the island now… I remember first meeting Cody, when he ended up following me into the girl's cabin. And how I immediately threw him out…

Maybe… I should've at least talked for a little…?

I sighed, a hint of guilt in the back of my head. I remember the creek challenge… How eager Cody had been to be my partner. A small smile crept onto my face as I remembered him trying to pull the canoe into the water… I had been under a lot of stress from the others at that point, and was all annoying to me… But looking back, if I had been in that situation now, I would've found it… Cute… And of course, then there was him asking me out on the canoe… And how I shot him down like a crippled duck…

I felt my chest tighten slightly from guilt.

He even offered to, as he said, put in a good word for me for Trent… Of course, he wanted something in return, but he gave it right back… But I remembered what he said clearly… "You know, I would've done what I did even if you didn't give me this," were his words. My reaction was rolling my eyes, thinking he was just trying to get me to let him keep it… But now I realized he really meant that.

And finally, after all that, there was his final day on the island. And how Cody got… I shut my eyes, not wanting to remember it. But I couldn't forget seeing him in that cast and chair… And how we ended up getting rid of him just because he would be useless in the next challenge…

I felt some moisture form in my eyes.

Cody had done so much for others… Especially me. The least I could've done was even hug him… But no. I was too blinded by Trent to even notice him…

But that was over.

I waited for Cody to wake up, because I had some news for him…

NIXON COMMANDS TIME ONCE AGAIN, EXIT FLASHBACK!!

And so that's how it began… Now here we were, cuddling in a wheelchair… Ok, not the most romantic place, but still…

And tomorrow would be even better…

The sun hitting my eyes woke me up from my sleep. I leaned up, yawned, and looked over at my clock. 7:00… Still had awhile before Gwen would get here… I sighed, throwing my legs out… Of… Bed…

I stood.

My eyes widened. I moved my legs around a bit. I laughed a bit, grinning widely. My legs WERE working! I cheered, skipping around my room a bit. The doctor had said this would happen, but I didn't expect it to happen so fast…

I couldn't wait to surprise Gwen!

Cody's door was wide open when I arrived, much to my surprise. I peeked in, seeing a lump under Cody's covers. I grinned evilly, and quietly entered the room. I always wanted to see what happened when Cody got scared… I slowly crept up to his bed, trying to hold in a few giggles. I slowly reached for the blankets…

"BOO!!" I screamed as something jabbed into my sides quickly while shouting. I fell onto the bed, turning around.

"Cody…! I was gonna scare you…!" I whined. That's when I realized Cody wasn't in his wheelchair. My eyes widened a bit. "Oh my… Cody, you're…"

"Walking?" He finished, helping me on my feet. "I know!" He grinned, showing that cute little gap in his teeth.

"I didn't think it'd be THIS fast…" I admitted, still surprised.

"Well… Remember what the doctor said? I guess he meant by tomorrow morning when he said it," He shrugged. "The point is, I'm walking again and I… Oof!" I cut him off by tackling him onto the bed in a hug.

"That's for scaring me," I said, putting a finger on his nose. He squired under me, both of us laughing.

"Hey, you were going to scare me," He pointed out.

"No… I was just going to wake you up is all!" I said innocently.

"Sure…" He said. "That's why you had that evil little smirk… Speaking of which, I must say that makes you look pretty hot…"

"Oh…?" I make the same grin I did earlier, causing him to smile even wider.

"Oh yeah… That's the one…" I rolled my eyes.

"I don't see how that makes me look better to you…" I shook my head.

"What, I can't like an evil girl?" He asked, still grinning. I slapped my forehead, but laughed.

"I guess I understand… After all, I do find that little gap in your teeth pretty cute…"

"Now why would you think that?" He asked, now confused. "Most people prefer to make fun of it…"

"Well, I don't know… I just do…" I admitted.

"Eh, I'll take that as a good answer," I giggled.

"You're such a gentleman…" I joked, kissing him.

"AND a better kisser," He said after I did. I sat up, still on him.

"Oh, you really think so?" I asked, hands on my hips. His cocky grin returned.

"I know so," My eyes narrowed.

"Prove it,"

Now let's leave these two alone… Sorry to cut this one short, but I'm having some idea problems right now… I have a lot of other story ideas, and I want to figure out what I'm going to write nexr.
