A/N: Well, the last chapter to my very first story is here. You've all been so nice to me, and I really appreciate all the support. The One-Shot will be up sometime in the next couple of days, and I'll put up my new story (Always on my Mind – yes it's the Phantom Planet song) a few days after that. I actually want to finish a story before putting it up this time, as I've been writing this one as I go along. Well, enjoy!

Author's POV:
Michael and Mia spent all night just talking about how they could have missed their affection for eachother, both coming to the conclusion that they were both so wrapped up in their own despair that the other might not love then, to think that the others love might well be possible. A little after midnight, the new, very happy, couple fell asleep in each other's arms.
Now it was time for Lilly's revenge.
Clutching a red sharpie in her hand, she bent over Michael and Mia, and got to work.
The Next Day …Michael and Mia woke up, managed to get dressed without looking at eachother, anyone or anything else. As they climbed into the limo however, they both saw each other's faces.
"Lilly!!" they both yelled simultaneously glaring at the girl sitting calmly opposite them.
"Why? Why did you- how did … when did you?" Mia spluttered, trying to rub the bold red words that said "I Love Michael Moscovitz!!!" from her forehead.
"Revenge. That beard thing wasn't very nice. At least I didn't draw a flying pig like I was originally going to do. Although, I don't know why you're complaining. It's true isn't it?" she said simply.
"Yes it is …" Mia's forehead was rapidly growing as red as the writing.
"But that's not the point! Michael finished, also trying to rub the words "I Love Mia Thermopolis" from on his forehead and the huge "Lilly Moscovitz is the BEST!!!" from his left cheek. "And what is this about?" he asked, pointing to the little doodle of a caterpillar on his neck
"I got bored."
"Oh, way to go Lilly, I have a caterpillar on my neck because you were BORED!!" he yelled, lunging for Lilly's head.
Lilly moved sideways and watched as Michael landed in a heap on the limo floor. Lars laughed silently, and Mia went straight over to help him up.
"Oh calm down you pair of wimps. 1) It's a very good caterpillar, and 2) At least you won't have to tell anyone. You know how the saying goes … it's written all over your face.
"Oh HAHA! Wow, you're so funny I think I wet myself." Michael replied sarcastically.
"You should see the doctor about that problem. At your age, you should know what a toilet is by now." She smirked. Michael sent a death glare that could rival Grandmère's over to Lilly, which just made her even happier.
So Michael and Mia just silently fumed for the rest of the ride to school, occasionally rubbing their faces and glaring at Lilly. By the time they had arrived at Albert Einstein High School, both had made up their minds. – They would not be ashamed, and would get their own back on Lilly sometime soon. Taking a step towards the school, they held hands and nervously stepped into the school.
"What the hell??"
"Oh my god, Look!"
"Well I didn't think they'd get together."
"Good for them." Michael and Mia smiled at this last one, and looked at eachother.
"Ready to face Lana?"
"Yeah!" she giggled.
^^^^^
"Hey Lana." Michael greeted the fake blonde cheerleader, who was sitting on the table and flirting with Justin Baxendale. "Does Josh know you're doing that?" he asked her.
"Who? Oh, it's you. God, can't you just, like, you know … go away?" she flipped her hair.
"Uh … no. I'm here with my lovely girlfriend, who happens to be part of this class, so I believe I have every right to be here. Hey Mr G." he greeted the bemused algebra teacher who had just walked into his classroom, only to see Michael and Mia cuddled together and Lana sitting on the desk with Justin.
"Hello Michael, Mia. Nice to see you're both so well." He greeted Michael, looking at Mia when he said this last part. Michael and Mia blushed. "Miss Weinberger, get off that desk now, and Mr Baxendale, please go to your English class." He finished.
"But Michael-" Lana started to protest.
"Michael's class is down the corridor. Mr Baxendales' class is across the school, so it's best he leaves now. " Mr Gianini said sternly, setting his cup of tea down onto the desk.
"Now Mr Baxendale." Michael mimicked, which sent Mia off into a lapse of giggles, as Justin trudged out of the room.
"Byeeeee Justin!!!!!" Lana squealed, waving furiously after him and sending one of her books flying in the process.
'They do say Love is Blind, and I guess they're right." Mr G thought, smiling fondly at the long awaited happy couple.
Long live Princess Mia Renaldo and Prince Consort Michael Moscovitz.
