--Hillridge, Headin' Home--
Tawny finished packing up Friday afternoon, said goodbye to the McGuire's, and walked outside, where she was greeted by Miranda and Gordo. "Bye Tawny," Miranda said, hugging her. "Bye Miranda. You've gotta call me so we can get together again," Tawny said. She and Miranda broke apart, and Tawny hugged Gordo. "Cya later Gordo," she said. "Bye Tawny," he told her. "Oh, hey, remember our deal. You tell her, I tell him," Tawny said. "I will," Gordo responded. Tawny broke the hug and walked to her car. She threw her bag in the back, and started her car, driving away.

Lizzie said goodbye to Tawny's parents, and climbed into Miranda's car, ready to head home. But before she could go, she had to give her opinion. Would she trade lives with Tawny permanently. "I don't think I would. She's got great friends, and she's in a band, but her life is kind of confusing. And her parents are never home, and she doesn't have any siblings, so I think it'd be kind of lonely, since you can't be with your friends all the time," Lizzie said. The camera man seemed satisfied, and she began to drive back to her life in Hillridge California.

Louis sat down on the Dean's couch and sighed. Both of Tawny's parents were at work, like usual, and he was alone. In Tawny's house. Waiting for her to show up. Before he had left, he had heard the end of a song on the radio, called 'Elf Power' by a band called Coheed and Cambria. Oddly enough, the song really didn't have anything to do about elves. There had been one line near the end that said 'Dear God, Before I heard this is your intention! For I, I could've figured it out, over and over.Absence makes the heart grow fonder.' And it had got him thinking. Not being a person who lived through music, much like the author of this is, he didn't usually start thinking about things because of one line in a song. But this was different. Before he had a chance to analyze his plan again, he heard the door knob turn. "Mom? Dad?" Tawny called into the house. Louis stood up, and walked upstairs, into her bedroom. Before he closed the door, he heard her say: "Working, as usual. Fun." Louis dove into her closet, and closed the door. He heard Tawny open her door, drop her bag on the floor and sigh. Then she noticed it. "What the heck is this?" she asked herself, picking up a single red rose that was on her bed. There was a card below it. She picked it up and read it out loud. "Turn around?" Tawny said. Louis opened the closet door as Tawny turned. She saw him and laughed. "You're coming out of the closet," she said. Louis turned a weird shade of red, getting the joke. "Funny," he said, walking over to her. She held up the rose. "Want to explain?" she asked. Louis took another step closer to her. "I'm going to ask you to the prom tonight Tawny," he said. "I'm going to say yes Louis," Tawny told him. He sighed. 'So far, so good.' He took another step, now closing up any space between himself and Tawny left. "Tawny, there's more. I've been meaning to tell you this ever since our episode in front of your house before you left-" Louis started. "I want to tell you something too," Tawny said. Louis put his index figure up to her lips. "Let me get this out first, okay?" he asked. She nodded. "Tawny, you remember when I feel off the flagpole? And I was laying there, hurt like heck, and there was a huge crowd around me?" she nodded. "Well, I didn't notice any of them except for you. That exact moment, I knew I had to find out who you were, because from the first time I saw you, I knew that I loved you. And Tawny? I still do love you. A lot. I don't think words can actually describe how I feel about you, but I needed to tell you. So..I'm done now," Louis said. He looked at Tawny, expecting the worst, hoping for the best. What he got was a smile. Then a hug. Then the longest, most passionate kiss he'd ever had in his whole life. After awhile, they had to come up for air. Separating, they sat down on Tawny's bed. "Should I take that as a-" Louis started. Tawny laughed a little. "I'm happy you told me first. Other wise I'd still be trying to tell you the exact same thing," Tawny said. 'Phase two, check' Louis thought. Then he saw what time it was. "Woah, we should probably get ready for the prom. I'm gonna go change, and I'll be back in a few minutes to pick you up," he told her. She stood up. "Sounds great. See you in a few," she said. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. "Later," he said quietly, leaving her room.
