Bailey finally wakes up and the reunion is formed. Yet, will there be bad times ahead as well in this wonderful dream?

"Come on, Bails...Wake up...Come back to me!"

And to Cody's relief, Bailey began to stir. She began shaking her head and mumbling. Cody could have sworn he heard her saying "Brenda let go of my nose…"

As gently as he could, Cody began shaking Bailey's shoulders. "Bails!"

Bailey's eyes fluttered open. In her state of confusion, all she could see was those familiar blue eyes.

"Scarecrow?"

Cody didn't know what to make of that. So, he just shook his head. "No...It's me...Cody."

Bailey opened her eyes wide and took in what she was seeing. "Cody?" Her vision clearing, she could see it was in fact Cody. "Cody!" Immediately without thinking, she threw her arms around Cody and hugged him tight. "Oh my gosh! It's really you! I was wondering if I would ever get to see you again!"

Cody finally pulled back. "Bails? Are you feeling okay?"

Bailey smiled back. "I am now. I'm just glad to be back from Oz..."

Cody looked at her in confusion. "Did you just say Oz?"

"Oh yeah. And everyone was there. You were the Scarecrow. Zack was the Tin Man. Woody was the Lion. London was the Wicked Witch. Addison was the Munchkin Mayor. Moseby was the Wizard. And Tut...Tut was the witch the house fell on and then after she complained, she was made a flying monkey..."

Cody had no idea how to respond to that. "Ummm...You must have gotten hit on the head harder than I first thought..."

Bailey laughed. "I know it sounds crazy, but it was real..." She paused. "It's also how I knew you were coming for me..."

"Huh?"

"I saw you in the Wicked Witch's crystal ball. I saw you and Zack talking on a plane and I knew you were coming to make sure I was alright..."

Cody paused. "Bails...I think you were just having a dream while you were unconscious..."

Bailey paused to consider that. "I don't think so. I mean, how else would I know you lived the same day over and over 87 times just to tell me how you felt about me..."

Now Cody was really confused. "But..." He sighed. "Zack told you, didn't he?"

"He did, but I heard him say it while you two were on the plane here. He did say that, didn't he?"

Cody paused to think. "Yeah, he did. But...how?"

"I don't know. But whatever happened to me, I'm glad it did..."

"You're glad you got caught in a tornado and potentially received severe head trauma?"

Bailey laughed. "Well, not the tornado. But I'm glad I did get hit in the head because it finally knocked some sense into me..."

"What do you mean?"

Bailey sighed. "Well, let's just say along my journey, I was forced to see some hard truths. Things that I hadn't wanted to see because I was scared..."

"Scared of what?"

"A lot of things. Of acknowledging the ways I screwed up. Of realizing the way you saw things. Of realizing how scared I was to risk my heart again. And..." She paused. "...I was scared to admit to myself just how much you mean to me..."

Cody smiled and then he paused. While his heart warmed hearing Bailey's words, he had to wonder if she was saying them because of a possible concussion.

"Bails, I think we need to get you checked out by a doctor..."

But Bailey shook her head stubbornly. "No. And I don't have a concussion. I haven't been thinking this clearly since before Paris. I have something to say, and I ask that you allow me to say it..."

Cody paused and nodded.

"Cody, I should never had thought for a moment that you would ever cheat on me. I knew better than that, but I got scared. I felt for you more than anyone else in this world, and I let my fears overcome my common sense. And since then, I've let my hurt and my stubbornness overrule what my heart was telling me. I know now that I wasn't the only one hurting too. And I know there is nothing I can do to take away that hurt, but I do beg for your forgiveness..."

"Bails..."

"Let me finish. I tried to convince myself that I was over you, but my heart knew better. At the chocolate factory...I choked. You confessed your love for me still, but my hurt and stubbornness wouldn't let me say what I really wanted to say. That heart was for you. But, I blew it. And when you went out with Willa...I tried to convince myself it was nothing. But I could tell she was really into you...and you were into her too. My heart finally overcame my stubbornness and I admitted to myself that I wasn't over you. And when you told Willa that you were still in love with me, for a moment, I thought I had been given my second chance..."

"Bailey..."

"But I didn't. You were just trying to let her down easy. It was then I realized the pain you felt at the chocolate factory, and I hated myself for causing you that pain. You at least had the guts to tell me how you felt. I didn't. Well, I'm not going to make that same mistake again. I know you are ready to move on with your life, and I can understand that. But I'm hoping there is still a chance that the life you move on with will include me. Cody, I still love you. I know it may not seem like it, but I never stopped. And I know now that I always will. I want a second chance. I would prefer it to be as more than friends, but if that is all you can offer me, I..."

Bailey was interrupted by Cody pressing his lips against hers. When he finally pulled back, Cody had a big grin on his face. Bailey put her hands up to her lips and looked at Cody in confusion.

"What was that for?"

Cody chuckled. "You were babbling..."

Bailey laughed too. "I need to babble more often..."

"I think that's my line, but I also needed a way to get a word in edgewise..."

"Cody..."

Cody smiled. "It's my turn now. I need to apologize to you as well. The idea of a practice date was an idiotic one. In retrospect, I can see how stupid that was. I just wanted to make our anniversary perfect. I should have known that by being with you, it would have been perfect. And I apologize for getting so angry and letting my anger and hurt overrule my common sense too. There hasn't been a day that goes by that I haven't wished that I could redo those days all over again. But I can't, and I can't take back the pain that my actions caused you. I too can only ask your forgiveness..."

"Cody..."

"As for Willa, do you know why I was initially drawn to her?"

Bailey shook her head. "No...but I could see she was very beautiful..."

Cody paused. "I guess she was, but the reason I was drawn to her at first was because she reminded me so much of you. Of course, I later learned she was a little too much like Woody. But my point is, I think I was thinking if I couldn't have the one I wanted, I would try to get the next closest thing. And I was dead wrong about that. Because, Bails, you are one of a kind. There is no one in the world like you..."

Bailey smiled. "I feel the same way about you."

Cody laughed. "I don't know about that...I am an identical twin after all..."

"Doesn't matter. You may have a twin, but there is only one of you."

"Anyways, as for me moving on, I thought that's what I had to do. But, I can't. Bails, I need you in my life. All the way here, I was trying to devise a plan to get you back..."

Bailey smiled again. "I don't think you'll need six months this time. What had you come up with?"

Cody smiled back. "So far...groveling...lots and lots of groveling."

"So, are you saying there is chance for us again?"

"I sure hope so. Because, Bails. I never stopped loving you either, and I know I never will. Can you forgive me and give us a second chance?"

Bailey grinned. "Absolutely. Can you forgive me and give us a second chance too?"

Cody grinned back. "In a heart beat. But Bails, we have to learn from our mistakes so we don't repeat them again."

"Agreed. And we have to make sure we really communicate with each other..."

"Definitely."

"And Cody?"

"Yeah, Bails?"

"I hope you know you don't have to do grand gestures to show me you love me. I know you do."

Cody nodded. "Okay...But it won't stop me from trying to romance you."

Bailey smiled. "And I'll be doing the same thing. I want you to always know that you're my feller and how much you mean to me..."

"Sounds good to me..."

"Cody?"

"Yeah?"

"I think we should seal our reunion with a kiss..."

"Don't have to tell me twice..."

And with that, Cody leaned in and gave Bailey the most passionate kiss he had ever given her. When the finally pulled back for air, neither could stop grinning.

"I can't wait to tell everyone we're back together. My parents seemed to hope..." Bailey paused. "MY PARENTS!"

Bailey tried to get up, and Cody reached down to help her up. Bailey looked over at the house and saw it was collapsed.

"Oh no!" She paused again. "Wait a minute...Last thing I remember, I was in my room. How did I get outside?"

"Porkers told me you were inside. So, I went inside and looked for you. I found you in your room unconscious, and the house started creaking. So, I lifted you up and carried you outside. It was only a few minutes late that it collapsed..."

Bailey just turned back to Cody. "You saved my life..."

"I was just...trying to keep you safe..."

Bailey leaned in and kissed him again. "I'll never forget this..."

Cody smiled. "The good news is that I didn't see anyone else inside."

Bailey nodded. "They should all be in the storm shelter. I was there until Porkers ran out and I chased after him..."

"Well, let's go let them out...unless Moseby has already found them. I hope he's not too upset that I stowed away."

"He doesn't know you're here?"

Cody shook his head. "No. He wouldn't let anyone else come, so I hid out in the trunk.."

"I'm glad you did. And if Mr. Moseby gets upset, I'll just tell him if you hadn't, I'd be dead right now..."

Cody shuddered. "I don't want to ever think that possibility again...It hurt too much to think about."

Bailey smiled. "I promise to be more careful from now on..."

Cody shook his head. "Uh uh...I'm not letting you out of my sight."

"I think I can live with that...Now, come on, let's go check the storm shelter..."

Cody and Bailey walked hand and hand over to the storm shelter. And when they got closer, they found Moseby and Moose trying to lift a very large tree trunk away from the entrance to the shelter. Moseby pulled out his pocket hanky to wipe his brow when he looked up and saw Cody and Bailey walking towards him.

"Bailey? Cody? What are you doing here?"

Cody looked to Bailey before answering. "Ummm...I stowed away..."

"You what? Cody, I told you how dangerous this could be! You could have..."

Before he could continue, Bailey cut him off. "Mr. Moseby, he saved my life. He got me out of the house before it collapsed. Thanks to him, I'm still alive..."

Moseby sighed. "Very well..." He paused. "Wait a minute. Shouldn't you be inside of here, Bailey?"

"Long story, but I wasn't. Everyone else should be though..."

"You weathered the tornado out here? Are you alright?"

Bailey turned to Cody and smiled. "Never been better..."

Moseby couldn't help but grin. "Something I should know about?"

Bailey smiled back. "Lets just say Cody and I are finally back to where we belong...together..."

Moseby was about to congratulate them when Moose spoke up first.

"You what?"

"I'm back with the man I love..."

"But he broke your heart!"

Bailey paused. "We both made mistakes and did stupid things. But that doesn't mean we stopped loving each other..." She looked up at Cody again. "I like to think we're stronger than ever now because we're much wiser..."

Cody smiled back. "I would agree with that..."

Moose just shook his head. "Unbelievable...First Mary Lou gets dental work and runs off with the delivery guy in the brown truck and you choose the little feller..."

Cody rolled his eyes. "Hello? I'm almost as tall as you are now!"

Bailey just laughed. "Its okay, Sweetie..." She turned to Moose. "Go home. There's nothing here for you..."

Moose just turned and stormed off.

Moseby spoke up. "Ummm...You couldn't have waited to run him off until he helped lift this tree trunk?"

"Well, between the three of us, we should be able to lift it or at least move it..."

Moseby sighed. "Alright...That looks like our only real option..."

So, the three of them stood at one end of the tree trunk and began to drag it away from the entrance to the storm shelter. And even with the three of them, they were only able to budge it about three feet, but that was enough for the door to the shelter to open. Everyone would just have to suck it in and squeeze out. Beginning with Joe Pickett, everyone slipped out and into the fresh air. Immediately, Bailey's Mom grabbed Bailey and pulled her into a hug.

"Sweetie, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Bailey smiled as she took Cody's hand in hers. "Mom, I've never been better...My prince charming came to my rescue."

Maggie smiled. "I had a feeling he would..."

And when London slipped out, Moseby immediately pulled London into a hug. London was about to protest, but she opted not too. After all, it was good to see Moseby again, and she had learned to be grateful for those who actually cared about her.

But, not everything was good news though. Joe turned to face everyone.

"The farm is completely destroyed...And we're now officially homeless..."

Maggie smiled. "We survived the locusts, the floods and the mudslides. We'll survive this too. We just have to rebuild..."

Joe sighed. "And that will take time and money...money we don't have..." He turned to Cody and Bailey. "I'm sorry, Bailey...We won't have the money to send you back to the ship..."
