Okay so this story is going to be a few chapters shorter than I had expected because some of the ideas I had for some chapters are proving difficult to write (not because of what the idea is its just hard to write a lengthily chapter about the subject) so there should be about 2-3 more chapters to go and then its on to the sequel (if people are still interested in it). So here you go chapter 11. P.S there are some spoilers ahead for the movie Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen so if you haven't seen it yet I'm sorry if I ruined it for you Haha

The spring summer weather that once fell upon New York City had quickly changed from the fresh spring weather to the warm days of summer, then to the lush cool weather of fall. October had hit and soon it was almost time once again for the annual Fall Ball. Both Mitchie and Alex had spent the last 2 weeks getting ready for the dance that had brought the girls together the year before and to say they were excited would be an insult to words. It was Friday, the day before the fall ball and the girls were heading over to Mitchie's house. Mitchie had been complaining about feeling a little sick but nothing too alarming.

"So we have everything ready for dance right?" Mitchie asked.

"Yep, My dress is hanging up in my closet and I already have an idea about how im going to do my hair. So I'm all ready to go." Alex answered.

" How about you?"

"Well my dress is ready, My mom and dad said they would take care of Carlie and I have yet to decide how my hair is going to look." Mitchie replied.

"No big deal. As long as we go right?" Alex said. Mitchie nodded as they reached her house. They watched a few movies and Alex's parents called to say that she needed to head home. After a quick goodbye Alex headed home. IT was the next morning when Alex got a text from Mitchie that she knew something was wrong.

Hey babe, do you think you could take Carlie for the day? Not feeling that great

Thanks

-M

Once Alex had become more alert She phoned Mitchie's cell.

"Hello?" Mitchie answered weakly.

"Hey babe, what's wrong?" Alex asked.

" I feel like crap. Like so crappy I don't even wanna get out of bed." Mitchie whined.

"I'll be there in a bit to pick up Carlie. Want me to bring you anything?" Alex asked.

"No its okay. I'm good." Mitchie answered.

"Okay I'll see you in a few." Alex said as she hung up. She pulled on a pair of sweats and a t shirt, then put her hair in a messy pony tail and headed over. When she walked in she saw Carlie walking into Mitchie's room with her play doctor kit.

"Hey Alex." Mrs. Torres greeted.

"Hey Connie. How are you?" Alex asked.

"I'm fine, but I guess you already know Mitchie can't say the same." Connie told her.

"Yeah Mitchie asked me to take Care of Carlie for the day." Alex said.

"Okay you can head on up." Connie said as Alex headed up the stairs.

"Hey Car, what you doin?" Alex asked. The 3 year old looked over and smiled.

"I mommy's doctor." She said.

"Really?" Alex asked. Carlie nodded proudly.

"She's taken good care of me." Mitchie said weakly.

"Well that's good. Car we should let mommy sleep. How about me and you go walk around for a bit, let mommy sleep and get better." Alex said. Carlie pouted.

"But I need to take care of mommy." Carlie whined.

"You can help take care of mommy by letting her sleep sweetie." Alex said as she picked up Carlie and adjusted her on her hip.

"What time do you want me to bring her back?" Alex asked.

"Around 4:30, 5" Mitchie answered. Alex nodded.

" I'll see you then. Hope you feel better." Alex said as she gave Mitchie a kiss on the forehead. After grabbing some things from Carlie's room she headed out the door.

"So miss car, where do you wanna go. It's just you and me today." Alex said.

"Can we go get ice-cream?" Carlie asked.

"Sure. To Baskin Robins we go!" Alex said enthusiastically as they headed over to Basin Robins. The line up wasn't that long so they got to order quickly. Alex ordered her usual, Cotton Candy Ice cream in a waffle cone, and got Carlie a small vanilla cone. Once they had finished their ice cream they headed back out in search of things to do.

"Ayex can we go pyay at the park?" Carlie asked. Of course, Carlie loved playing at the park. You couldn't bring Carlie out without stopping at the park. They went to the nearest park and Alex started pushing Carlie on the swing, brought her on the slide, and played hide and seek around the park. Soon Carlie became tired and Alex realized it was almost time for Carlie's nap. She picked her up and started walking home. By the time Alex had reached her house Carlie had fallen asleep. She brought Carlie up to her room and after she was tucked in Alex headed into the kitchen to grab something to eat. She settled on some popcorn and sat down at the table to enjoy it. But soon she heard Carlie crying upstairs.

"Car sweetie what's wrong?" Alex asked as she got into the room.

"I had a bad dream." She sobbed.

"Its okay, it was just a dream." Alex assured her.

"Want me to stay with you?" Alex asked. Carlie nodded weakly. Alex climbed in bed with her and eventually both of them fell asleep. At around 4:00 they woke up and Alex started getting Carlie ready to go home. Her bag was packed and She looked at the clock. The dance was starting at 8 and Alex still needed to get ready. But she decided that if Mitchie couldn't go she wouldn't go. They intended to go together and if they couldn't go together they wouldn't go at all. She packed up Carlie's bag and once jackets and shoes were on they headed up the street to Mitchie's place. Alex opened the door and heard Mitchie in the Kitchen getting something to eat.

"Hey, how are you?" Alex asked as she gave Mitchie a hug.

"Better. Not by much but im better." Mitchie answered.

"Well then get your butt back into bed. I don't want you to get worse." Alex said as she brought Mitchie back to her room.

"Don't you have the dance to go to? Mitchie asked as she climbed back into her bed.

"Yeah. But I don't wanna go without you." Alex answered.

"But you have to go. It's the biggest event of the year basically." Mitchie told her.

" But I want to go with you. And if you're not going I'm not going." Alex declared. She climbed into Mitchie's bed and snuggled in with her.

"You do know you could get sick right?" Mitchie said.

"Yeah." Alex said merely shrugging it off.

"Isn't it crazy what can happen over a year? I mean last year this time we hated each other." Alex said in amazement.

"Yeah. I mean if Jordin, Mandy and Taylor hadn't dared you to kiss me, we wouldn't be here right now." Mitchie said. Shuddering at the thought. She couldn't imagine her life without Alex anymore.

"And we probably wouldn't have done all the things we did over the year." Alex said.

"Yeah, like going to Hawaii." Mitchie said.

Flashback

" Oh my god. This place is beautiful." Alex commented as they walked off the plane and headed into the airport.

" Aloha!" the Hawaiian greeters said as they put lei's on everyone who came off the plane.

"Welcome to Honolulu."

"Thank you." everyone said as the lei's were placed on their necks. Once all the luggage was grabbed they headed over to the Skyline Resort.

"Mommy, why did they put flowers on our neck?" Carlie asked as she played with her lei.

" Because in Hawaii to say Hello they give you a flower necklace." Mitchie explained.

"Oh. I want a candy necklace not a flower one." Carlie commented causing everyone to laugh. They had reached the hotel and dropped off their bags. Then it was time to hit the water. Mitchie, Alex and Carlie grabbed their swim suits and headed down to the beach. The beach wasn't too crowded so they found a spot easily to rest. Carlie started to build her sand castle and all of a sudden stumbled upon something.

"Mommy, Ayex look!" Carlie called. Mitchie and Alex looked in Carlie's bucket and saw a sand crab crawling in the bucket. Mitchie screamed and hid behind Alex as Alex and Carlie laughed.

"Babe it's just a crab." Alex told her. Mitchie looked at Alex in disbelief.

"just a crab? That thing is huge!" Mitchie said.

"Its not even the size of my palm!" Alex said as she started playing with it. Mitchie watched in disgust as Alex and Carlie continued to play with the little crab. Soon they became bored of it and put it back, of course Mitchie freaked when it came close to her. Soon it started to get late and the girls headed back to the resort.

End flash back

"Hey you have to admit that crab was huge!" Mitchie told her.

"Babe my palm was bigger than that crab was." Alex told her.

"It was still big." Mitchie huffed.

"Sure it was." Alex said sarcastically. Mitchie shoved Alex and Alex just rolled her eyes and giggled.

"What else wouldn't have happened?" Alex asked.

"Our first date wouldn't have happened." Mitchie said giggling at the memory.

Flashback

"Mom have you seen my denim skirt?" Alex shouted from her room.

" I washed it yesterday. Check your laundry basket with the clean clothes." Theresa said. Alex looked over beside her and sure enough the short denim skirt was right on top of the pile. She pulled it out and put it on. Finally she was ready. She had her Blue "Beatles" shirt on along with her denim skirt which was put over a pair of Black leggings. After she put on her Flats she was ready to go. It was a few minutes later that the door bell to the apartment rang.

"I'll get it!" Alex called. She opened the door and Mitchie was standing there, a plain white shirt under a black vest and dark skinny jeans.

"Hey." Alex greeted as she gave Mitchie a kiss and headed out the door.

"So where are we going exactly?" Alex asked as they walked down the street.

"Well I was thinking we could catch a movie and then just walk around for a bit." Mitchie said.

" Sounds good to me." Alex smiled. They got to the theatre and looked at the choices of movies.

"How about 'Transformers 2'?" Mitchie suggested.

"Sure. Transformers looks good." Alex agreed.

They bought their tickets and headed into theatre 6 after getting the usual popcorn and drinks. They quickly found seats near the middle and waited for the movie to begin. The girls watched the movie intently as the autobots totally owned the decepticons (sorry I just had to put that there haha) and battled fiercely to make sure that Megatron didn't get the Matrix and destroy earth. At the part where Optimus Prime dies Mitchie heard Alex gasp in shock.

"Not Optimus." Alex quietly whined

"Optimus can't die. Who's gunna save earth now?"

" The other Autobots" Mitchie said.

"Come on Mitch none of them have even half the strength of Optimus Prime. They're screwed." Alex told her. Mitchie held in her laugh as they continued to watch the movie. It was almost near the end and Optimus's body had been brought to Sam and Mikaela and Sam brought Optimus back to life using the matrix. A huge smile came across Alex's face.

"Okay remember how I said that they were screwed earlier? Totally take it back." She said happily as she continued to watch the screen. Mitchie could only laugh at Alex's excitement. Soon the movie ended and the crowd of people exited the theatre.

"Oh my god that was like the best movie in the history of ever!" Alex exclaimed.

"I am so getting it when it comes out on DVD!". Again Mitchie could only laugh. Alex was acting like a little kid who had one too many pieces of Halloween candy in one shot. Mitchie tried to get her girlfriend to calm down but it was no use. Alex was wired and nothing was going to calm her down anytime soon. They walked through central park for a bit and by then it was getting late.

" What time is it?" Alex asked, her fingers intertwined with Mitchie's. Mitchie pulled out her phone.

"About 10 ish." Mitchie replied

" Do you need to be home soon?"

" My parents said around 10:30 so before then." Alex told her.

"Well if we head there now we should make it to your place at around 20 after." Mitchie told her. The girls headed down the street and soon reached Alex's house. After walking Alex to her door step and kissing her goodnight Mitchie headed home. The first date was a success and hopefully there were more to come.

End Flashback

"Hey Transformers 2 had to be the coolest movie ever! Do you blame me for getting excited?" Alex said.

"You weren't even excited. You were just as energetic as a 5 year old in a candy shop who had gotten a hold of one too many lollipops." Mitchie informed her. Alex stuck out her tongue in protest as Mitchie giggled.

"But it was still a good first date." Mitchie told her. Carlie entered the room and decided to lay down with Alex and Mitchie, A look of tiredness on the little girls face.

"Wanna go to sleep Car?" Mitchie asked. Carlie looked up at her mother and nodded. It was around 7:30 now, the usual time Carlie went to bed.

"Here I got it." Alex said as she picked up Carlie and brought her into her room. She changed Carlie into her pyjamas and laid her down in her bed. After saying goodnight Carlie was out cold. Alex closed the door and headed back into Mitchie's room but realized Mitchie had also fallen asleep, holding the bear Alex had gotten her on Valentine's Day while they were in Hawaii earlier that year.

Flashback

Alex had been searching high and low all morning for the perfect Valentines present for Mitchie. But so far no luck. Mitchie, Carlie and Dallas were out for the day with their mom and dad so Alex had the day to herself, something she wasn't used to. She searched through the shops around Honolulu and finally stumbled upon a gift store. She walked in and started browsing. There were some valentine's cards on display near the front an d she chose a card first before she started looking for the main present. There were valentine's themed teddy bears sitting on a shelf near the cards and one particular one caught Alex's eye. A medium sized purple teddy bear with a heart on its chest. She didn't have to think twice about it, that was what she would get Mitchie, along with chocolates and a single red rose. After paying for the bear and card she left in search of a flower shop. Luckily the search didn't last half as long as the previous one and she found a flower shop just down the road. After picking the perfect red rose (because Alex knew Mitchie deserved nothing but the best) she headed back to the hotel to set everything up. It was about a 10 minute walk so she decided to take some pictures of the scenery while she walked ,giving her something to do to pass the time. She reached the hotel and began to set the things up on the bed. The teddy bear laid on Mitchie's pillow as it held the rose, Chocolates and card in its little arms. She turned on the TV and waited for Mitchie and Carlie to come back. Somewhere along the way Alex fell asleep and soon after Mitchie and Carlie returned.

"Alex, you here?" Mitchie called quietly. She looked over and saw her sleeping girlfriend, cuddled under the sheets. She told Carlie to be quiet and took off her jacket and shoes. She looked at her bed and saw all the gifts laying on her pillow. She opened the card and smiled. On the front was a picture of a red rose and inside was a note from Alex

Happy Valentines Day babe

Since you were out all day I decided to venture out and get you some gifts for our first valentines day. Hope they make you smile as much you make me smile.

Love

Alex

Mitchie put Carlie down for her nap and crawled in bed with Alex.

" Happy Valentines day" Mitchie said as she kissed Alex's temple and soon fell asleep.

End Flashback

Alex smiled at the sight and walked over to the bed.

"Hope you feel better soon babe." Alex said as she kissed Mitchie on the forehead and made sure she was fully covered up. After turning off the light to Mitchie's room and saying goodbye to Connie and Steve Alex headed home. Memories from the past year filled her brain the whole time. She was grateful what the past year had brought. It brought her to Mitchie, to Carlie, to all the amazing memories the girls had had together. And all because, she kissed a girl.

No don't worry this isn't the end of the story. Just the chapter. But the story will be ending in about 2-3 chapters as I had previously said. Hope y'all enjoyed this chapter and please Read and Review!
