The next day, Maddie went off to work in a depressed mood, feeling heavy. Countless thoughts ran through her mind. She was daydreaming, again. But this time it wasn't about having a world of her own, or fantasizing about Dustin. Darkness, sadness ruled her mind.

"Hey Maddie, someone had this delivered for you", Cody said, interrupting Maddie from her thoughts. Maddie just gave an exasperated sigh.

Cody placed on the counter a bouquet of flowers of different kinds and colors, which to be honest, made Maddie smile a little.

"I guess I should be going now", Cody said, as he left. As Cody left, someone hissed at him. Cody looked around, and he didn't see anyone, and continued walking. Someone hissed at him again. "Pssst!" Cody looked around again. It was coming from the plant. As he walked closer, someone pulled him, causing him to lose his balance.

"Sshh!" Dustin whispered. It was him.

"What are you doing behind the plant?" Cody whispered.

"I'm hiding from Maddie so she won't see me, and I'm also hiding from the guests, might ruin our plans", Dustin explained in a hush tone.

"Oh", Cody nodded. "Why were you hiding from Maddie again?"

"I just wanted to see what her reaction would be when she gets the flowers", Dustin answered.

Maddie looked at the colorful bouquet. There was a card. She opened the card and read it. It read, A little something to cheer you up. May your day be as colorful as these flowers.-Dusty

Maddie rolled her eyes. But deep inside she was flattered. She didn't know what to do with them. She took a deep breath, put them aside as if they were nothing special, and continued her work.

"Oh, man!" Dustin groaned. Cody sighed.

"Let's go", Dustin whispered to Cody. As they tiptoed away from the bush, a female guest spotted Dustin and screamed, "Ahh!!! Oh my gosh!!! It's Dustin McCarthy!!!!" as she pointed at him, causing every guest to look at him and run after him. And just before they were able to flock around him and attack him, Jeremy came and blocked them. Maddie looked at him with a cold look. Dustin just shrugged at her and smiled nervously. Maddie turned her back at him.

Dustin was able to escape from the starstruck mob and whispered to Cody, "Time for Plan B."

Maddie was facing the other way, putting the candy back on the shelves. When she turned around, there was a note. Maddie rolled her eyes. Just when my day couldn't get any worse.

She opened it reluctantly, and read, let's play a treasure hunt.

There was another note stuck to the first one, and Maddie read it. In it was written, if you're feeling sad, there's a way to not feel blue, just follow the trail that's right below you.

Maddie looked down on the floor. She saw some pieces of red paper scattered on the floor, forming a trail. Maddie followed it and it led right to the elevator.

This is getting ridiculous, Maddie thought. Just then, she noticed a Post-it stuck on one of the elevator's buttons. It read, do you think this is ridiculous, and want this to be done? Just follow what I say, and press the button to where the Post-it is stuck on.

Maddie removed the Post-it. It was posted on the 4th floor button, so she pressed the button and waited until she reached the 4th floor. She got out of the elevator, clueless. Just then, Muriel passed by her and gave her another note. "Here, someone told me to give this to ya." "I'll give you 5 bucks to tell me who gave this to you", Maddie offered. "Sorry, sweet cheeks, this person gave me 100 dollars to not reveal this person's identity. Unless you give me 150 bucks, then I'll consider it", Muriel said. "But I don't have that kind of money!" Maddie complained. "Hmph, tough luck", Muriel snapped and left.

Maddie gave out a groan and read the note, still confused on what you're looking for? Do as I tell you and get to the top floor.

Maddie grumpily went inside the elevator and pressed the button leading to the top floor. She already had a hint who was doing all of these.

As she got to the top floor, which was an outdoor patio, there was a large note stuck to the elevator door and had to be opened by a ribbon.

She opened it and it read in bold letters, NOW THAT YOU'VE GOT AN IDEA WHO I MIGHT BE, I WANT TO TELL YOU I'M SORRY, WILL YOU FORGIVE ME?

Maddie turned around and there was Dustin right in front of her. He was holding a sign that said I'm sorry, Please forgive me. Just then, a band started playing a love song. Dustin brought her to the center and told her, "Whatever you saw yesterday has an explanation to it. If you'd just please listen to me."

"I saw everything, Dustin. You don't have to explain everything."

"Yes, but you didn't know everything that happened yesterday.

"I don't need anything. I don't need any statement or proof."

"Is that all that matters to you? Me kissing London?"

Maddie thought for a while. Then finally said, "What is it you want with me? What do you want? Why do you keep doing this to me?"

"All I want is you." Dustin said. He lifted her chin with his finger, making Maddie face him.

"Maddie, look into my eyes. I love you." Maddie started crying, and looked down again.

"I'm sorry. I can't do this", and ran.

"Maddie, wait!" Dustin called after her. But it was too late. Maddie had already entered the elevator. He ran after her. He entered the other elevator and went down the lobby. But Maddie had already gone home. He had to go back to his suite and prepare for his show. But before that, he went to Cody.

Almost fluff and slight drama. Hmm. How do you think was it? Any weaknesses? Was it good? Please review! The line "All I want is you" was gotten from The O.C. Constructive criticism is welcome, although no flames please! Oh, and yes, I almost forgot to tell you, there are 2 chapters left until this fanfic ends. I would like to thank everyone in advance for sticking to this, and for showing interest. Well, reviews please!
