Title: The Pessimist and the Paranormal Investigator

Chapter 3: A Crappy End w/ Love

Author: Moxie

Disclaimer: None of the characters in this story are mine. The mention of two actual people comes up but sadly I am left my little fantasies of what would happen to these characters.

Summary: In Roxie's POV. It's pretty predictable for the most part. With Sabrina and Morgan gone, Roxie's stuck with Miles for a weekend. There's nothing graphic.

Category: Sabrina the Teenage Witch- PG-13

Author's Note: Since the main focus of the show is Sabrina (big surprise! Hence the name) I didn't have much to go on for how Roxie and Miles react to certain things, but I gave it a try.

It's like a scene from an overdone Season Two episode from Dawson's Creek:

This whole thing was ridiculous. I don't think there's any other word for it. How did this all end up happening? Friday seemed like a normal enough day, only to have Sabrina and Morgan leave on pursuit of a life and leave me alone with Miles. It seemed harmless enough, also annoying, but I never thought- not even for a second that it would result in me being here on a park bench thinking about Miles. Ha…Miles! Right…

Come to think of it…why was I thinking about Miles? I should be mad at Miles! I should be at the house, kicking Miles' ass! Just then I whipped around and shouted out the statement. "I should be kicking your ass!" Lucky for me, Miles had been there when I spun around and caught the phrase before I could stop myself. Great…

"Uh…I…I didn't know you were there."

There was a pause before he answered. "Obviously." I saw him pursing his lips hard together.

"You're smiling…" If I wasn't mad before I was mad when he began to crack up. "What the hell is so funny?"

He struggled…a lot before quieting down. "I-I'm sorry." He cleared his throat, "I'm sorry." He was still smiling a little and my anger wasn't wavering. He straightened up and looked at me before cracking up again. I shook my head and turned my back to him heading for the exit of the park. "Wa- wa- wa- wait. Wait. Just, wait." He stopped me by my arm and jumped in front of me, with a vague smile. I pushed him back hard with my palm and he pulled on a bench to stop him from falling. I on the other hand kept walking. The same pull and intervention and happened again and for once he had stopped laughing. "I'm sorry. It was just…it was funny." I began walking again with him by my side.

"Yeah, Miles. That was hilarious."

"You should've seen your face!"

"I'm sure I should have."

"W-Roxie. I don't understand why you're so mad." He didn't pull me, but I stopped walking.

"You don't- you don't understand why I'm so mad? Miles…I told you things I've never told anyone. I poured myself out to you because I thought you would understand! I looked for aliens with you!"

"I wanted to listen to you, Roxie. I was glad you looked for aliens with me!" He wasn't shouting. He was still overexcited, and I calmed down.

"Then why'd you run away from me, Miles? Why did you leave me there feeling like an idiot so many times in so many places?"

"I didn't know what to do, Roxie. This wasn't supposed to happen. I've dreamt about this happening, but it wasn't supposed to. It's like when people finally accomplish a goal, you know? When the time comes for them to present it, they don't know what do with themselves. You were supposed to call me a loser and degrade me until graduation where we share a moment but never see each other again. You weren't supposed to want me."

"But I do want you Miles. As strange as that still sounds, I want you. I want to be with you and not have to worry about someone seeing us together. I want to tell you things and have you teach me things and tell me things that only you have thought about." He was silent, looking soft, so I looked down a little more embarrassed. "And not have you laugh at me."

Miles smirked, "It was funny." He smiled and I smiled back. "You're so cruel."
