Chapter 12: Second Chances
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Wish I did, but I don't. And this one is just like the movie, I do not own the movie either. I just totally love it and it belongs to the person who thought it up. Just borrowing some lines from it.
Summary: Second Chances are given for friendship and meetings.
Timeline: The third year of SMK. 1996
Author note: I know that in the third season Lee and Amanda rarely had any fights, but we can pretend right? Enjoy! :)

A week after Lee had drinks with Bob, Amanda and Lee went on another assignment. Amanda almost got killed and when they got back to the Agency they had a big argument. Lee said some hurtful things and Amanda ran out of there before she could say something that she would soon regret.
That night Lee tried to get a hold of Amanda, but no one ever answered.
The next morning, a Saturday, Amanda woke up not feeling good at all.
A: Well, at least the boys and mother aren't home this weekend. (She got out of bed to make some tea and she unhooked all the phones as not to be disturbed.)
Lee tried calling her all day Saturday, but once again he never got a hold of her. He wanted to go talk to her, but decided against he. He decided that maybe he should just let her cool off so on Monday he can talk to her and hopefully she'll forgive him.
On Monday morning Amanda called in sick. Dotty drove the boys to school and then went out to do some errands.
Meanwhile... Lee got some Daisies for Amanda and went to work.
When he got there he realized that Amanda's car wasn't there. He went inside and talked to Mrs. Marsden
Lee: Morning Mrs. Marsden
Mrs. Marsden: Morning Mr. Stetson.
Lee: Did Amanda come in yet?
Mrs. Marsden: No she didn't. She called in sick and won't be in today.
Lee: Thank you. (Places his badge back onto the table and leaves.)
Lee drove to Amanda's house knowing that the boys were at school, but didn't know what her mother was up to that morning, and didn't really care. If she was there he could introduce himself, if not then he figure he has nothing to worry about.
When he got to Amanda's house he found out that there was no car in the driveway and figured that Dotty was not home. So he grabbed the flowers and ran to the front door ringing the doorbell.
Meanwhile... inside...
Amanda got out of bed and went downstairs to make some tea.
Before she could make her tea she heard the doorbell ring and she went to go see who it was through the peephole.
When Amanda saw that it was Lee, she sighed: What do you want *Mr. Stetson*? (She said in a not so very nice voice.)
Lee winces at that, but remembering how he called her Mrs. King in the same type of voice, when he made her leave his office Friday night: Amanda, can I please come in?
Amanda: No! (She said very sharply and mean.) Go back to work!
Lee: I'm not going back to work until I talk to you!
Amanda: Then talk!
Lee: Not through the door! (And he walks away from the house to see if he can see any windows open and saw that Amanda's window was opened a little.)
Amanda: Well, then I guess your just going have to live with it or you'll just have to wait till tomorrow.
Lee: Can I *please* come in? (He asked in a very sweet and convincing tone.)
Amanda wanted so much to allow him to come in so they could talk and get everything back the way it was, but she really didn't want him to catch her cold: No! That's not a very good idea! I'm sick; (Lee started to climb the trellis) I'm sniffling; (He gets to her window and opens it) I've been sleeping for 24 hours a day. I'm barely awake. (Lee entered her room and then ran downstairs as quietly as he could.) I have a temperature and I think I'm contagious. So I think you should just go away.
Lee started to laugh quietly at seeing Amanda talking through the door: Amanda, I'm not out there anymore.
Amanda screamed.
Lee continued: Your window was opened.
Amanda: Fine, you're here. What do you want?
Lee: I heard you were sick and I was just making sure that you were okay.
Amanda, who is still standing next to the door: I'm fine. (Then opened the door and motioned him to leave.)
Lee: And I brought you some flowers.
Amanda closed the door: Awww! Thank you. (She took them.)
Lee: Also I came... to... uh... to apologize. (Amanda opened her mouth to say something when Lee cut her off.) I know I said some pretty mean things to you and I am very sorry. You almost got killed out there and I wouldn't know what I'd do if I lost you. (Amanda smiled.) You're my best friend and a great partner. (Amanda opened her mouth again to say something, but once again Lee cut her off.) I know I said that you didn't do anything to help me and that I didn't need you, but the truth is, is that you helped me in a way no one else ever has before and I do need you. And, so I am very sorry and I hope you can forgive me.
Amanda: Lee, I'm sorry too. (She cried and hugged him. He hugged her back.)
Lee: Amanda, we're crushing your flowers.
Amanda pulled back: Oh. (She laughed a little.)
Lee took the flowers: Here let me get a vase for your flowers and you go sit down, you're sick.
Amanda went to go sit down on the couch and Lee went into the kitchen and put the flowers in a vase.
Lee called from inside the kitchen: Would you like some tea?
Amanda: Sounds perfect!
Lee puts on the water and brings out the daisies and places them on the coffee table in front of her.
Amanda: So how's Leslie? (Yelling at herself for bringing up a subject that she really didn't want to know about.)
Lee sat down in another seat: I don't know. (Amanda gave him a confused look.) We broke up about two weeks ago.
Amanda: Oh. I'm sorry. (Thinks for a minute) Everyone is breaking up. You, Phillip broke up with his first girlfriend, this one person I know broke up in an elevator. Before it, or after it, or was it during it? (She asked herself.) Anyway, (the water kettle started to whistle so Lee got up.) when I saw you at the coffee house I was waiting for him and I was so...
Lee: Charming.
Amanda: I was not charming.
Lee: Well you looked charming.
Amanda: I was so mean.
Lee: Do you want any honey?
Amanda: Yes. I was so mean.
Lee brought in the two teacups in and sat down again: Come on Amanda that was last year! And besides I was the mean one. But you should let it go, we have grown a lot closer since that time.
Amanda smiled: Yeah we have.
Amanda put her tea down and said: I think I'm going to get some rest, read a little maybe.
Lee: (Gets up) Sounds good. Before I go can I ask you a question?
Amanda lies down onto the couch: Sure.
Lee: What did happen to the guy at the café?
Amanda: Nothing. (Letting out a disappointed sigh)
Lee: But you're crazy about him. (He stated, not asked.)
Amanda: Yes, I am. (She said calmly.)
Lee: Then why don't you run off with him? What are you waiting for?
Amanda opens her mouth to say something and then closes it. Then she said: I don't really know him. (She hid her face into the back of the couch.)
Lee: Really?
Amanda lifting her head up: You wouldn't believe this... but... I... I only know him through the internet. (Amanda hid her face again)
Lee: Really?
Amanda: And before that we wrote to each other.
Lee: How long have you known each other for?
Amanda: Since we were 16.
Lee: Wow. (Amanda kept quiet. Lee then grabbed the blanket from the couch and covered Amanda.) Do you know what I think?
Amanda: What?
Lee: I think that you should meet him. No. Wait. I take that back. Why would you want to meet someone you're crazy about?
Amanda: Hey! I don't think that I need...
Lee: (Covers her mouth with his hand.) Now see, I just bring the worst out in you. I should go now before you say something that you will regret for years to come. (He smiled.)
Amanda laughed and whacked Lee with a pillow.
Lee: Hey! Fine! I'll get going. (He smiled) Feel well soon. I want my partner back.
Amanda smiled: Okay. Thank you for the flowers.
Lee smiled, kissed her hand, and left.
Later that day Amanda wrote to Bruce.
"Dear Bruce,
I've been thinking about this and I think we should meet.
Write me back soon.
Kate."
