Author's Note: So, I was actually planning on making the concept of this story a one shot seperate from this but after playing with it and doing a little editing I decided to get rid of the original version of this chapter and replace it with this. :) read, review, w/e. :) ONE MORE CHAPTER! :D

"Do you believe in soul mates?" Fiona asked Adam while they were having coffee the next morning at The Dot. They both arrived an hour before they actually needed to go to school so they could have time to talk.

Adam looked at her curiously. "Why do you ask?"

Fiona smiled at him. "Just answer the question."

"I don't know." he shrugged. "There's a lot I don't believe in. It's kind of hard to believe in things when you're given the wrong body."

Fiona nodded. "I guess that's understandable."

They sat in a comfortable silence for a few moments before Adam spoke again. "Do you? Believe in soul mates, that is."

Fiona looked out the window wistfully. "It's a nice thought. Soul mates. That there's that one person out there who was made specifically for you. I always thought my brother and Holly J were soul mates."

"And now?" Adam asked quietly.

She looked at him and sighed. "I don't know anymore. Maybe they aren't right for each other."

Adam nodded. "So they just crushed your believing in soul mates?"

Fiona looked down at her coffee. "No, not exactly. More so all relationships crushed my belief. No one is ever happy. No one can just be in love and stay in love. There can't be soul mates. If there was there would be no cheating, no pain."

Adam nodded. He reached out and pulled her chin up so she was looking him right in the eyes. Adam's breath caught in his throat.

"I love you." he whispered.

He wasn't planning on saying that, it kind of just slipped out. It was true though. He never met anyone like Fiona in his life. He never felt this way towards anyone. It's like some sort of strange gravitational pull pulled them together. He always thought that having that "one person" who could change everything was corny and stupid and just stuff that was possible in corny chick flicks and love stories. He never thought he would actually experience this feeling.

When she didn't answer right away he considered backtracking. He opened his mouth to say something but then she responded.

"I love you too." Fiona said.

"Whoa." Adam replied.

"We're idiots." Fiona began, semi-hysterical. "We've become one of those couples I never believed in. I mean we've known each other for a month and are exchanging I love you's. I mean, we haven't even had our first kiss yet. What are we…."

"Shut up." Adam interrupted then leaned across the table and pressed his lips to Fiona's.

"Nice." Eli said, walking up to their table. The two separated quickly.

Clare walked up behind him. "I'm sorry I told him not to bother you two"

Fiona smiled up at Clare. "No, it's okay.

"Fiona," Clare smiled "Why don't we walk to school together. We'll catch up with you boys later?" Clare said looking at Eli and Adam.

They both nodded and the girls left.

As soon as they left Eli turned back to Adam. "So, how was it dude?"

"I told her I love her." Adam said in a daze.

"What?" Eli asked, shocked. "Me and Clare have been together almost 3 months and I still haven't dropped the 'L' bomb."

Adam snapped out of his daze. "Do you believe in soul mates?" he asked Eli.

Eli raised an eyebrow. "No. Why?"

Adam looked out the window. "I don't know. We were just talking about it before we kissed."

Eli laughed a little "You don't think she's your soul mate, do you?" Adam turned to stare at him. Eli continued. "No offense dude, but that whole soul mate and fate stuff is a bunch of baloney. I mean, if it was real, you would have been born a boy."

Adam nodded. "I guess you're right. It's a nice thought though."

Eli nodded. Both boys then got up to leave.

"Hey Adam," Eli turned around. "Do you really love her?"

Adam smiled. "Don't get all mushy feelings on me dude." Both boys laughed and continued to school.

~~o0o~~

Clare and Fiona walked half way to school without speaking a word to each other. Clare didn't want to bombard Fiona with a bunch of questions.

"I'm so happy you two are together." Clare said finally.

Fiona smiled. "Me too."

"So," Clare began, awkwardly. "How was the kiss?"

Fiona laughed. "Good. I was expecting it to blow me away or feel sparks but…"

Clare looked at her shocked. "You felt nothing?"

Fiona shook her head. "No, I did. It's just…I expected to feel fireworks. It wasn't like that though. It felt…safe."

Clare looked at her confused. "Is that a good or bad thing?"

"It's great." Fiona said still smiling. "I know anyone else would be disappointed but honestly, it felt like we've been kissing forever. It was our first kiss and it just felt natural. It made me feel safe, and warm, and loved."

Clare smiled. "I'm happy for you."

They finally reached the school steps.

"He told me he loves me" Fiona spoke.

"What?" Clare asked, stopped at the top of the steps.

Fiona nodded. "I was asking him if he believed in soul mates and it just kinda happened. I don't think he planned on saying it." She shrugged.

"You said it back, right? Did you mean it?" Clare questioned.

"Yes, I said it back. And yes, I meant it." Fiona smiled.

"Meant what?" Holly J asked walking up to her best friend.

"I told Adam I loved him." Fiona said quietly.

"What?" Holly J asked shocked. "Are you two even together?"

Clare laughed. "You haven't told her yet?"

Fiona shook her head. "Sorry I was up all night on the phone with him. We got together last night."

Holly J was in complete shock. "Wait, so you just got together with him last night and you already told him you love him? Have you lost your mind? You've only known him for a month."

"Holly J, you told Declan you loved him after only dating him a month and you didn't know him for more then a week before you two got together." Fiona reminded her best friend.

Holly J looked at her. "I guess. Just…wow Fi." She then smiled. "So you really love him?"

"I really think I do." Fiona said.
