I have to say, this story has been so much fun and has practically been my life the past three months. Here is a fact: I wouldn't be near as happy and be having as much fun and have as many reviews as I do if it wasn't for all of you. Give yourselves a round of applause! Thank you so much for all that you do. After this, my newest long project will be "Channy Chaos". The promo is posted if you want to check it out! It most likely won't be near as popular as this ended up being (I am still trying to believe so many people enjoyed it), but I would really appreciate it if you all kind of…… transferred your interest over to that story when this is done. Thanks so much!

Here you are!

"Drew, did you see this?" Jessica asked in a demanding tone, confronting her boyfriend right outside of the school's doorways. She held up the tabloid to which she was referring, shoving it in his face. She had been unfortunate enough to not find out that her face—more like their faces—were printed on the front of magazine shipments that were going nationwide. The Hollywood Scoop had a large, blown up picture of Jessica and Drew lip-locking on the front cover with smaller pictures of them as captions on the side. The Whole Story on Hollywood's Hunkiest Heartthrob's Newest Girlfriend! But is it his last? Drew snatched the tabloid from her, holding it at a larger distance from his face so he could actually read it.

"Yeah," he shrugged, "just another story about us. What about it?"

"Well, why didn't you tell me about it?" Jessica asked him, her lips sticking out slightly like they always did when she was irked. She put her hands on her hips. "I didn't even know about that until today!"

"Okay…"

"Well, I don't know if you can still remember this far back, but do you remember that feeling you got the very first time that you ever realized you were on a magazine cover?"

Drew pretended to contemplate, taping his finger on his chin and gazing dramatically off into the middle distance. He couldn't help but smirk. She was making such a huge deal out of this. "Nope, nope, I can't say that I do. It's sad, really. I have been unbelievably famous for so long now that I can't remember my first magazine appearance! Tragic."

"Drew, I am not kidding! Don't you think I would kind of want to know?"

"I guess so. I just don't see what the big deal is. This is no better or worse than any other stories I've seen come out about us. They all say the same things—'will they last?' and 'are they really in love or is it just a publicity stunt?' plus 'Hollywood's Hottest New Couple Taking the World by Storm!' I have seen it all before."

"There are others?" Jessica asked incredulously, her eyes widening. "You mean there are even more pictures and stories of me floating around that I didn't even know about?"

"Oh, so this isn't about us as a couple," Drew said slowly, accusingly. "This is about you and your reputation. Phew, little Miss Critical criticizes me for being self-centered!"

Jessica took a deep breath through her nose. "All I am asking is if you could clue me in next time my picture is on newsstands all over the country."

"And all I am asking is for you to act a little less hypocritical."

"Ooh, hypocritical! That's a big word, Drew."

Although these two may be totally and completely in love, that didn't mean that they still didn't have their occasional pointless bickers. No couple is 100% perfect. Where is the fun in that?

"Hmm, what could be egging me on to say more big words about you acting like a hypocrite? I think it's the word egotistical. Oh, who knows? Maybe even conceited? Is this vocabulary too big for you, Kramer? Do I need to speak slower?" he asked the last sentence as if he were speaking to a first grader. Jessica pursed her lips.

"Well, considering that you learned all of those words from me when we met," she seethed while hitting him on the arm, "I'd say that calling me a hypocrite is so inaccurate that for you it should be morally repugnant." To Jessica's satisfaction, Drew's face went blank. She grinned triumphantly. Then, out of nowhere, he started smiling at her. His eyes were doing the flickering thing with the light again, his blue shirt making his eyes even more pronounced than usual, which was saying something. She was confused. Why was he grinning at her in the middle of a fight? "What?" she asked timidly.

"You're cute when you use big words," he answered, his voice a soft whisper. Like she always did, Jessica blushed, realizing that it didn't matter how much time they spent together, that particular quality would never go away.

"Kiss up," Jessica muttered, keeping her eyes on the ground.

"Well, I don't know about kiss up, but, uh… kiss on its own sounds fine to me," he winked, clicking his tongue. Her color deepened, but she didn't give in as easily as he'd hoped she would.

"You know what a horrible line that was, right?"

"You know how much I really don't care I just want to kiss you, right?"

"Fine. But next time, I'm not falling for the cheesy lines again, alright?"

"You know you love them!" Drew said cockily, rolling his eyes as his arms snaked around her waist and pulled her close to him. "You say that every time, and yet, here we are."

"Shut up!"

"Hmm…" he pretended to think, "I don't know." He wagged his eyebrows. "You're gonna have to make me."

Jessica didn't need telling twice as she crushed her lips to his before he had time to say anything else. Drew could feel her smile as his hand cupped her cheek. To Drew's dismay, she pulled apart far too soon for his taste. However, Jessica had no intention of stopping. She was simply taking a breather; an opportunity to whisper something to him before pressing her lips back to Drew's.

"I love you, Drew Hitley," she whispered quietly, barely able to finish the sentence before they were silenced by the other's lips. Instead of replying with words, Drew let his lips do the talking, their mouths moving in synchronized silent conversation.

The sun began to set beside an empty Carson High School, the sun tinting the sky and clouds orange with hints of pink and purple. The only people left on campus was the two soul mates outside of the front doors, honestly too distracted to notice the colorful sunset behind them. Colorful fireworks of their own devise filled their heads.

The sun went down, but the fireworks were never extinguished.

THE END! Since it is officially over after so long, I beg for every single one of my readers to review now and tell me what you thought. Don't do it for me, do it for Jessica and Drew! Do it for the sake of the story! Do it for the memories!

Or you could do it for me, too. That's cool…
