Capeside: One year later…

Beth Andersson stepped outside of the store chewing her candy bar. Not much had changed. It could almost have been twelve months previously. She shook her head in disbelief.

"What the?"

Walking over to her car, she realised that it had been blocked in. Someone had parked his or her car sideways behind hers, she couldn't move in any direction.

Smiling a little to herself, Beth walked up to the vehicle, leaning into the open window.

"Hey, braindead! You realise you're blocking three cars in?"

Jackson Witter turned to look at her, a grin spreading out across his features.

"Yes, as a matter of fact I do!"

She stepped back as he opened the door and climbed out. Standing opposite her, he nodded his head in greeting.

"Hey, Andersson."

"Hey, Witter," she said quickly.

"What ya doin' in this neck of the woods?" He asked.

"Oh, you know, sight-seeing. Holiday-ing," she told him breezily. "My boyfriend invited me on a pre-college road trip this summer, for some reason he thought this little hamlet would be a romantic place to start."

"Sounds like you've got one heck of a boyfriend there, if you ask me," Jackson said in his best Deputy-Doug voice.

"Oh, he's all right I suppose," Beth answered grinning.

"Well, why don't you give that boyfriend of yours a nice welcoming kiss," Jackson grinned back, reaching for her hand and kissing the back of it.

"Oh, I'll think about it…" Beth sighed, letting Jackson pull her close. They settled together easily. He kissed her.

"Hey, Romeo and Juliet! You're blocking me in here!" The man in the car parked next to Beth shouted out at them.

But they were too busy to reply.

The End.

Well, there you have it. Please Read/Review. And I hope you all enjoyed the ballad of Jackson and Beth!
