Note: I do NOT own Galactik Football of the song "This is Me" by Demi Lovato from the movie "Camp Rock"!

One week later…

'I can't do this,' Tia moaned to Rocket backstage. Whoever was on stage right now, was really good. And that wasn't helping Tia's nerves. Rocket placed his arms around her shoulders supportively.

'Yes, you can. I know you can! Just believe in yourself. You can do it,' he assured her before giving her a passionate kiss. 'I love you,' he informed her when they broke away and she smiled.

'I love you too,' she replied before giving him another quick kiss and then he left her backstage. Tia took a deep breath as the person on stage finished. She watched as she proudly stormed off stage and walked past her but not before muttering:

'Nailed it…' she muttered and Tia rolled her eyes before she was handed a microphone and told to go on. She took one step on the stage and found what seemed like a hundred eyes looking at her and she immediately turned her back to them as the music began playing. She took a few more deep breaths as she began to slowly approach the steps when finally the time came for her to start singing.

'I've always been the kind of girl that hid my face. So afraid to tell the world, what I've got to say,' Tia sang but in hearing these lyrics, slowly began to get her confidence as she reached the top of the stairs. She took one final deep breath before swiftly turning towards the audience. 'This is real, this is me. I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now…'

Rocket smiled as he watched his angel perform and enjoy it! 'That's my girl,' he muttered as she started into the second verse. He was never so proud of her. Even he found it hard to believe that after everything she had been through, she would still manage to stand up there and be happy and just…enjoy it!

As the song continued, Tia continued to enjoy it and despite not be able to wait until it was over at the beginning, she was actually gutted that it was over now. She enjoyed every minute of it. The first person's eyes she caught were Rocket's who winked at her the second their eyes met making her smile. And that smile was never removed as she walked off the stage and after a few minutes, she felt someone's strong arms wrap themselves around her waist making her jump but she knew who it was when he started to kiss her neck and relaxed.

'You were…amazing,' he whispered into her ear and she turned around so they could lock lips. They continued to kiss before Tia broke it so she could tell him something.

'I wouldn't have been if it weren't for you. You make me stronger. Thank you,' she thanked before locking lips with him again. However, they weren't alone in his or her room so they were in perfect sight and reach…

'That was amazing!' someone exclaimed form behind Tia and she suddenly felt someone wrap their arms around her shoulder making her break the kiss with Rocket regretfully. The person released Tia so she could turn around and she found Mei standing with a big smile on her face, proud of her new friend/ex-enemy's performance. The girls weren't best friends but they certainly got along better now than they did before.

'Thanks Mei,' Tia stuttered out. Despite their new found friendship going well, Tia still couldn't believe when she commented her. It wasn't the Mei she had first met.

The threesome chattered for a while as they waited for the last few acts to perform and the judges to make their decision before Tia tightly gripped on to Rocket's hand as they announced the winner and he squeezed it in reassurance. Unfortunately though, it wasn't her and now Rocket was driving her home.

'You should've won,' Rocket said suddenly. He was extremely annoyed that she didn't win. And he wasn't just saying that because she was his girlfriend and he loved her dearly, but because she deserved because she was so talented.

'Maybe I didn't win that but I did win something more important,' she said innocently and Rocket gave her a confused look.

'What's that?' he questioned wonderingly.

'You,' she said simply and Rocket smiled in realisation. 'And no one can take you away from me,' she said confidently and Rocket replied to that the second he stopped the car.

'Definitely not,' he said simply before leaning in with her closing the gap. Despite Rocket usually being the flirty and seductive one, Tia took over the role this time and seductively moved herself on to Rocket's thighs on the driver's seat and wrapped her hands around his neck and his slid around her waist. They continued to kiss passionately before Tia began to gently nip on his bottom lip and he happily obliged and their tongues began to circle the other. Wanting to oblige to her own dirty thoughts, Tia broke away and grabbed Rocket by the shirt before beginning to lead him out of the car with a seductive smile on her face. Rocket was more than happy to oblige to her wishes and happily followed her to her house, stopping a few times on the way to have a quick making-out session but didn't stop in case they were caught as they entered the house and went up the stairs. They started a non-stop making out session as they entered her bedroom and Rocket pinned her up against their door while removing his shirt in the process. Their tongues continued to circle the other as Tia began to lead him over to her bed while, with his help, removing her shirt. Lying on the bed with her below him, Rocket began to undo her trousers and then sliding them down her legs, soon followed by his own. Their underwear was followed soon after before they fell under the covers into a night of passion and romance…

When Rocket awoke, he immediately stretched his arm out to pull Tia to him but found her side of the bed empty. His eyes shot open immediately and he quickly sat up in the bed.

'TIA!' he shouted out but at first received no reply. He relaxed however when he heard someone come out of the bathroom and saw Tia in his oversized t-shirt and his boxers which made him smile to himself.

'Don't worry, I'm here! I'm here!' she assured him and sat down next to her naked boyfriend on the bed.

'Believe me, I know,' he swore and leaned in and gave her a passionate kiss. Just like he intended, the kiss was far from innocent and he pushed her down on the bed, not bothering to turn her around and undid the buttons on the shirt revealing her bare breasts and then removed the boxers leaving the twosome now completely naked. Rocket began to nip on her bottom lip and she happily obliged. Rocket's hands freely explored her body and she let them but moved them back to her hips when he got to her breasts and she smiled at his flirty and seductive attempts.

'You didn't mind me touching them last night,' he said breathlessly between a quick gasp making her laugh lightly.

'Exactly…last night,' she replied between another quick gasp. Then, getting more flirtatious than ever before, Rocket began to slide his hand down her sides until he reached another awkward place and she cheekily escaped his grip and wriggled out from under him. Rocket opened his mouth in shock for a minute before leaping off the bed and grabbing his naked girlfriend from around the waist and continuing to kiss her, keeping his hands where they were allowed to be this time. Their little moment was interrupted however but a knock on the door.

'Tia…can I come in?' her Mum asked outside the door, making the twosome instantly break apart.

'Just a minute!' Tia called back and looked at Rocket. 'Quick, get in the closet!' she ordered and Rocket, within tenths of a second was hiding in the closet. Tia quickly ran over to her bed and pulled the covers right up, covering her bare body. 'Come in!' she shouted and her Mum entered the room.

'Hey sweetie. Listen, I have a quick job to do for work so I'll be back in about two hours, that alright?' she asked and Tia quickly nodded.

'Yeah, of course. I'll be fine!' she replied hastily and they said goodbye before her Mum left. Tia didn't move until she heard the door open and close from downstairs so she knew for certain they were safe. 'You can come out now!' she yelled and Rocket retreated from her closet and Tia sat up in the bed. Instead of discussing the moment of madness, Rocket began to caress her cheek, sending goose bumps up her back from the skin contact.

'I love you,' he whispered to her, now resting his forehead on hers.

'I love you too,' she replied confidently and locked lips again as well as trying to fit as much passion and romance in the two hours of alone time they had left…
