The night was chilly so Chris gave Emma his coat as they walked home. "Emma, I had a really great time," Chris said trying to fill the silence.

"Me too Chris," she said pausing in front of her house. "Well, we're here."

"Yeah," he said.

"Yeah," she said. "Well good night," Emma said turning around to unlock the door.

"Emma wait!" Chris said loudly.

"Yes?" Emma said facing him. He rushed to her side and kissed her passionately. He had been waiting all week to do that. He pulled away then gave her a quick peck.

"Well, good night Emma," he said walking away backwards so he could watch her every last second.

"Good night Chris," she said trying her best to remain calm and collected. When he was out of sight, she rushed in the house and squealed with delight.

"Emma! You'll wake Jack," Spike scolded from the couch.

"Sorry Mom," Emma whispered. She ran to her room and jumped on her bed. She couldn't wait to tell Manny.

~*~*~

"Liberty!" JT pleaded. "I'm sorry I talked during the movie. I was just excited. I never met a girl who liked decapitation as much as........well........I've never met a girl who liked decapitation period actually."

"Yeah, that was awesome," Liberty said as her smile returned.

"So........." JT asked. "Have you seen 'Alien Wars II'? It just came out on video last week."

"No, but I've seen 'Alien Wars I'. That's one of my favorites," she said.

"Me too," he exclaimed. He looked down.

"Fine JT. I'll watch it with you," she said smiling because the tables had turned. They arrived at Liberty's house.

"Alright!" he said giving her a quick peck on the cheek before he ran off. "You won't regret it," he screamed from down the street. Liberty shook her head and touched her face where he had kissed her. She silently thanked Craig.

~*~*~

"So, how'd JT end up going on a date with Liberty?" Manny asked as her and Craig made their way to Emma's. "And when did Jimmy ask Ashley out?" Manny was so confused.

"Well, that's a long story," Craig said laughing.

"You have to tell me!" Manny said pulling on Craig's scarf that she made him.

"Now?" Craig asked wrapping his arms around her waist.

"No, next year," Manny said sarcastically.

"But we have a lifetime together," Craig argued kissing her.

"We do, don't we?" Manny said smiling up at him. There was a long silence as they looked deep into each other's eyes. "........But, please tell me now anyway......this is pure torture," Manny said wrapping his scarf around her. He laughed at how adorable she was.

"Before I start, did you know if we got married..........your name would be Manny Manning?" Manny winced at the thought.

"That's awful," she said. "I guess I'm not marrying you buddy," she said socking him playfully then running away from him.

"Oh yeah," he said chasing her down and lifting her over his shoulder. "I think it's kinda cute. Manuella Manning."

"Put me down," she said laughing so hard she could hardly breathe. She slapped his butt. He set her down gently. "I love you Craig," she said.

"I love you Manny Manning," he said laughing. He loved getting under her skin. She rolled her eyes and pulled his beanie over his face.

"Just tell me the story," she said. He adjusted his beanie and grabbed her hand.

"Well, fine.....only since I love you more than anything," he laughed. "I'll call my story: Truth Behind the Lies."

"What kind of title is that?" Manny asked. "It sounds like a bad soap opera."

"It kinda is one," he said thinking about all the week's events. It was a long week and he was glad that it was finally over. Manny looked up at him with eagerness in her eyes and he couldn't help but smile. For the first time in a long time, he was truly happy. "Well it starts with me and Marco waiting in my garage for the guys to show up to practice........."

......and they all lived happily ever after............THE END
