Okay first I'd like to apologise for taking so long to update and for this I beg your humblest apologies. This songfic was rather hard to write and I had to wait for my betas (I now have 2!) to look it over.

Second: Although no one has commented on this I write everything the Canadian way so yes sometimes it looks like it's spelt wrong but truth to say it's Canadian!

Anyways this song is: Dirty Little Secret by The All-American Rejects.

Atlanta and I were sitting on my bed, just talking about whatever came into our minds. "Remember when you made Herry laugh so hard that milk came out his nose?" Atlanta giggled, "It was hilarious."

"It was pretty funny," I agreed, fondly remembering the look on Herry's face.

"When are we going to tell the others about well… us," the conversation immediately went from relaxed to a bit tense.

"Sometime soon," I said vaguely.

Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

"You say that all the time!" Atlanta said, "Are you embarrassed by me?"

"What? How can you think that?" I exclaimed, "I'd rather spend hours doing nothing with you than live without you."

"Aww how sweet," Atlanta giggled sarcastically.

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

"Theresa wanted me to go to the movies with her tonight. She's not very happy that I couldn't give her a very good excuse as to why not," Atlanta sighed, "Sometimes I wish we could just tell them."

"It's not like they need to know. After all it's our relationship. We're the only ones who need to know."

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

"After all it's kinda fun having a secret girlfriend," I added.

"It is pretty fun, remember when Theresa almost caught us?"

"Yeah and your face was as red as your hair, you looked like a tomato with spikes," I laughed and Atlanta's face went red again.

Who has to know
When we live such fragile lives
It's the best way we survive
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

"Why can't we tell the others?"

"They have enough troubles on their minds what with trying to save the world and all," I told her. As I did so I thought we live such short lives to worry over such trivial things. At any moment one of us could die, whether naturally or in an attack by Cronus.

"That's not a good enough reason. Why?" Atlanta asked.

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

"I just don't think the others need to know about us yet."

"I? As in you?" Atlanta asked, "I don't think you make up the whole relationship. So basically it's all about you? What about all the stuff I've given up?"

"I never said anything about me making up the relationship! Do you want to deal with all the things they're going to say about us? Whether for or against us? I've had enough of them bugging me about you when I had a crush on you!"

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

"I don't think they'd be against us Archie!" Atlanta yelled, "They deserve to know and not be kept in the dark. Besides it doesn't matter what they think, merely what we think."

"You're right and I'm sorry…"

"You know what?" Atlanta said, "I'm sick of this already. It's just about how you feel about things, never me. It's over."

Who has to know
The way she feels inside (inside)
Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)
These sleeping thoughts won't lie (won't lie)
And all I've tried to hide
It's eating me apart
Trace this life out

"Well then go to your room and cry princess!" I yelled, angry that she could betray me so badly, "I'm so sick of your whole 'I'm better than you are and it's all about me' attitude. You're just a little bratty girl who doesn't even know what love is cause I'm your first boyfriend!"
"Well if that's the way you feel about me fine!" Atlanta yelled, tears in her eyes as she slammed my bedroom door shut.

I shouldn't have said that to Atlanta, I thought my head resting in my hands. I don't see why she had to make such a big fuss over it! It's not like I was cheating on her or anything! All I did was tell her I wanted to keep it between us for as long as possible.

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret)

"Archie?" a voice asked from the door. I lifted my head up to look, there was Theresa standing there.

"What do you want?" I snapped, in no mood to deal with her.

"You should have realised that Atlanta has that 'screw what the world thinks' view on everything. She also wants everyone to know that well you belong to her and she belongs to you. I guess she wants the world to know that you really love her enough to tell everyone that you do."

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
Dirty little secret

"How do you know about us?" I asked, thinking over what she had said.

"I was there when she sang for you. I've been keeping the secret for you guys forever. Obviously Atlanta told me too. You're going to have to do major grovelling to get her back. That comment couldn't have hurt worse unless you intended it to, that was the worst thing to say, simply because it was the closest to her heart, her dirty little secret. Enough with this yattering, I have to go to the movies."

Who has to know
Who has to know

"Thanks Theresa, for… well the advice and keeping the secret."

"No problem, after all who has to know? And by the way what secret?" she added as she left.

Now all I have to do is win Atlanta back… easier said than done, but totally worth it.

And for those people who think the fight came on rather fast or it was too dumb to fight over: think about it. How often have you started the dumbest fight over some stupid thing? Therefore if you have (which I'm sure everyone has at least once) Bug off!

Stargatelover212 - Glad as always that you liked it. And even though you already read this one I hope you review. :)

Paradox-Barbarian-Princess - Wow I never thought about the obliviousity factor! I chose Theresa for a reason though. And yes this is in Archie's POV. If ever you can't tell all you need to do is figure out if it's a guy or a girl that sings the song and well from there it should be obvious.

twiinklestar - Thanks so much for saying I'm a great writer. It means a lot. And sorry to say but they aren't going to the movies (they already did!) This songfic takes place about a week after songfic #9.
