This is what I think we should have gotten at the season 3 finale. We needed this and sense we didn't get it here's my version. I hope you all like it.
Ricky opened up the card from Nini, he smiled as tears came to his eyes. "She remembered the lotto ticket."
All those years ago when Ricky was 7 years old Nini had remembered, she was the one that had helped him write it anyway.
HOWEVER MANY YEARS AGO THIS WAS..
"Ricky.. What are you doing?" Nini asked they were at his house he was sitting on his bed and Nini was laying on her back on the floor. "Making a bucket list of things to to do before I turn 18. Want to help?'
"Yeah! What about.. Hug a celebrity?"
"Oh! Yes! Do something that scares me… Eat three whole pizzas!"
"Whoa! That's a lotta pizza." Nini said impressed
"Oh! I got the best one! WALK ON THE MOON!"
"YEAH! Wait can you even do that?!"
"Of course you can! I'll be an adult then adults can do ANYTHING they want."
Nini nodded "yeah you're right."
"What about buy a lotto ticket?" Nini asked
"What even is that?" Ricky asked
"I don't know.. But for some reason it seems important."
Ricky wrote it down anyway. "This is gonna be the best bucket list ever!" Nini smiled at him and he grinned back.
CURRENT TIME
Ricky suddenly was filed with urge to see her, he had to there was so many things he didn't say, so many things he needed to say. "Miss Jenn! When did Nini leave?"
"Probably only a few minutes ago… why?"
"I still have time." without even thinking about it Ricky ran off.
I have to make it, I have to find her..
Nini was driving along the road, born to be brave blasted on the speakers, she had been crying a little she was excited to see where the year would take her but she was sad to leave so many things behind at least she got to say goodbye to Miss Jenn and Kortney. I didn't get to say goodbye to the person I love the most.. Nini thought to herself, suddenly a figure burst out in front of her headlights startled Nini slammed on the brakes and got out of the car. "What the hell?! I could have hit you!" Then she looked up and saw who she was standing in front of. "Ricky…" Nini whispered "what are you-
"I got your card. The lotto ticket. I can't believe you remembered.."
Nini smiled, "Of course I remembered, you're my best friend. You were amazing tonight by the way."
Ricky smiled "yeah I saw you in the back row."
They looked at each other for a moment. Things unsaid were in their heads. "Ricky.. What are you doing here?"
"I know you're leaving tonight.. I couldn't let you leave without seeing you."
"That's so sweet."
"I don't think we're over." Ricky said suddenly Nini looked at him "Ricky, I'm going to California and I'm never coming back. I love you SO much I never stopped.. But we're going to be in two different places we barely made it work last year and I was only in denver.."
"I don't think it's over between us, I've loved you since you were six years old Nini, Being apart from you has been the hardest thing i've ever done in my life. I hate not being around you."
"So do I."
"I know it's scary. I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but who ever does?! I know we're going to be in two different states but we could try right? We have to try. Isn't that what love is? Trying knowing you might fail but trying anyway?"
Nini didn't say anything, she was crying now Ricky was too. "I'll let you go if you want me to, I'll go and you can drive away. I know this is sudden but I love you. I never stopped even when we broke up. If this is the last time we talk I just wanted you to know that I'm hopelessly in love with you." Nini didn't move. Ricky sighed "I'll let you go."
He moved out of the way, Nini grabbed him by the shoulders and kissed him, he kissed her back. "Stay." Nini said
Ricky smiled "I have been waiting so long to do that again." They both laughed and pressed their foreheads together.
"So?'
"Long distance is gonna hurt like hell but we can get through it." Nini smiled
"I'll visit you all the time." Ricky said
"So will I"
Ricky looked at Nini ``that song I was singing? Kristoff's Lullaby?"
"Who were you singing it for?' Nini asked shyly knowing the answer
"I was singing it for you." he whispered in her ear. Nini smiled
They both held each other tight. "Now that I have you I'm never letting you go." Ricky whispered "good. I don't want you to."
Nini looked up at him. "I was wrong before, you never held me back. You make me better."
Ricky kissed her on the forehead. "So do you"
"I should probably get back.." Ricky said "C'mon" Nini said leading him to the car she drove him back to camp.
Soon before they knew it they were there. Ricky got out of the car. Everyone was around the firepit making smores. "I'll call you when I get there ok?" Nini said, kissing him on the cheek. Ricky smiled "ok. I love you."
"I love you too." Ricky sighed happily and watched her drive off. Nini smiled finally after all this time they had found their way back to each other.
EJ came up to him. "Exciting night?"
Ricky smiled, "unforgettable."
No offense to the Rina shippers out there, but I really do believe that Rini is endgame. Tim said that he planned Rina from season one but I don't think that's true, if it was true he would have given it to us from the beginning and not have given us Nini and Ricky and Gina and EJ. What I THINK happened is like in the office when Fox messed up Steve Carrel's contract so he had to leave in season 7 and the office aired for two more seasons but it was really shitty the last two seasons.. I think the same thing happened with HSMTMTS Olivia was leaving and everyone freaked out and wondered what to do without a main character and love interest on the show, so they broke the two main couples up just because Olivia was leaving and Gina and Ricky got together because they had no other ideas.. That's what I THINK happened what do you think happened? Also thoughts on the season 3 finale? I hated it. Let me know what you think in the comments:)
