Samantha stood, a cold breeze pushing past her, a light sprinkle of snowfall resting gently on her carpet. Peppercat stood behind her, staring in bewildered disbelief. Samantha looked exactly like her. She looked down at Spyke, his eyes falling to the ground, down on one knee, holding out a ring.
She couldn't speak, but she couldn't stay quiet. She couldn't move, but she couldn't stand still. She had to tell him how she felt, had to say how much she loved him, but she couldn't go soft, and she had to think before she said anything, or this could be a disaster.
Peppercat faltered for a minute, then again, and she fainted. Samantha envied her.
Tears flooded Samantha's eyes. "Spyke.."
"I know," Spyke stopped her before she could say more. He paused for a moment, then looked up at her. "I know I can't just expect you to take me in like nothing's happened. You made it clear you didn't love me. But I've been thinking since that day. I've been wondering what you meant. Maybe... Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I scared you. Maybe I was right, and you don't feel for me like I feel for you. You've been living your own life, and I can't just barge into it. If you want to think about it, I'll understand. If you don't love me -"
Samantha had fallen to her knees before Spyke, wrapped her arms around him, and pressed her lips to his. For at least a minute or two they sat there, tears rolling down their cheeks, before they drew back. Spyke looked like he wanted to say something, but Samantha beat him to it.
"Spyke, I love you, and I did even before I went away. I just wasn't honest to myself. Or to you. All I knew then was robattling and popularity. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me most. And..." Samantha paused and looked around. "Where is Cyandog, anyway?"
Spyke twiddled his fingers. "Well, I was working full-time in a pizza place, and a diamond ring is expensive..."
Samantha gaped. "You pawned Cyandog?"
"And Crosserdog, too..."
"What did you do THAT for?!"
"I still have his medal!"
Samantha sighed in relief. "That's good to know."
Spyke jumped. "That reminds me!" He reached into his pocket and pulled out his medawatch and Cyandog's medal. He put the medal into the watch. "Cyandog?"
"Yeah, boss?" Cyansog's voice asked.
"We made it, boy."
Samantha smiled. "Peppercat, get up!"
Peppercat's eyes lit up slowly as she sat up again. "What's wrong, Boss?"
"Nothing. Absolutely nothing." Samantha looked at Spyke, her grin pure joy.
Spyke smiled back at Samantha. "So is that a yes?"
Alrighty, everybody! It's done! I had to leave a little bit of a cliff hanger. I don't know why. It just seemed like a good place to stop. Yeah, I know, so maybe you'd have liked to hear her say yes, but we all know she did. And so, with Samantha's better-paying job, Cyandog gets a new body - Or his old one - For Christmas, Peppercat gets new medaparts, Spyke gets a wedding, and Samantha gets a little secret that she'll have to tell him about in more or less five or six months tops.
Again, I have to thank ABC family for airing the season finale and all the other really good Sam-Spyke shippy episodes, but moreso, I'd like to thank the few fans I've accumulated in the making of this fic and in the making of Millenium Tours. Even more I'd like to thank my BFF, dear, kind, strange, misunderstood, great author JessieHeart.
I know I got off track a little bit in this fic, but I'm entitled, ne? Got Samantha's strange anger problems and Spyke's loyalty and inferiority, I think I summed it up pretty well.
