Chapter 10: Back on Earth…

"Jayla…Jayla…Jayla…"

I opened my eyes and saw my mom, dad, and Kate sitting over me. "Oh thank God you're alright!!!" my mother exclaimed as she threw her arms around me. "W-what?!" I asked. "Why wouldn't I be?" "You were out cold for 24 hours." my dad said, hugging me. "So it was all a dream…" I thought. "We even called for a service man to come and take us to the closest hospital!" Kate said. "He should be here any minute now." Dad said.

"Um… Excuse me?" someone said. "Someone called for a cart-mobile?" "Oh yes." my mom said. "We're good now. She was just exhausted." "Well that's good." he said. "Thank you er… Chase." Kate said, reading his nametag. My heart skipped a beat and I jumped out of bed.

I nearly fainted when I saw him. "I-is it really you?" I asked. He winked at me and said. "You wouldn't think I'd leave ya hanging, now do you?" I smiled. "I guess not." I said. "Do you two… know each other?" my dad asked. "Yes." Chase said, smiling at me. "We met when I was solving a case a long time ago." I said. "Oh really!" Kate said. "Maybe we can all go to the Café and catch up!" mom said.

I smiled. "That be great." I said. Chase grabbed my hand, "Shall we?" "We shall." I said. "Their so cute together!" my mom whispered to dad. Chase helped me into the cart, and then got in the front and started it. When we got to the Café, Chase said that he normally worked in the food area, but he had had a feeling that he would be needed in customer service.

Once we finished, Chase asked if he could take me skiing. "Well I'm not sure… Jayla doesn't really like skiing…" mom said. "No mom! It's cool." I said. "Oh. Okay then." Mom said. They left, on another service cart, and Chase took me up to Mount McKinley, and made a small fire. "Just like old times, huh?" he asked. I kissed him and said. "Just like old times."

We kissed a few more times and he said, "Oh I nearly forgot!" He pulled out a blue feather and gave it to me. "I was going to give it to you Mount Gelato, but you had to bail on me last second." He joked. "Oh Chase!" I said. Blushing. "Does this mean?" "Yes Jayla." He said. I kissed him passionately. "You really are the best, you know that?" I said. He shrugged, "Well… not as good as you." I kissed him again.

This… was a wish come true.

THE END



Author's Note:

Sorry that this chapter was so short, but there really isn't much left to tell. ^.^ I didn't really like Chase when I started this, but about ½ way through, I fell in love. XD I sound pretty pathetic huh? Well this story was dedicated to my friend Jayla, who really wanted me to write a story with her in it. ^.^ I hoped you liked it! And that it wasn't too corny for you. Glad I could finish this story before my trip! ^.^ Obviously, Chase won.
