DISCLAIMER- I DON'T OWN ANYTHING TO DO WITH ALIAS, BUT I DO OWN ELIZA

A/N- since I've been taking awhile to review lately I decided to give u all an extra long chapter! Enjoy!

Chapter 13

Vaughn got into the car, slammed the door and pushed the key into the ignition. He backed out of the driveway, knowing exactly where he was going to go. One place that calmed him down as well as Sydney was the pier. There was always the warehouse, but that wasn't exactly great scenery to cheer you up or calm you down, looking out into the ocean however, did fulfil that job. He was still pretty angry about the fight; he couldn't believe what Sydney had said. He had done so much for her, and this is what he gets for it?

He arrived at the pier, parked the car and walked out towards it, where he leaned his arms on the railing and stared into the deep blue water below, thinking about the argument that had just taken place. He couldn't believe how unreasonable Sydney was being. He risked his life countless times to save hers, as well as risking his job. He loved her with his whole heart and broke up with his girlfriend for her, hell, her mother killed his father and he still loved her more then anything. He went for a walk for a bit, before returning to a spot close to where he was before. He looked at his watch and noticed that almost two hours had gone by. He had calmed down quite a bit by now, but there was no way he was going to apologize first. She had started the fight, but that wasn't the only reason. If she was still mad at him and actually believed all the things that she had said to him then he didn't even want to see her. He couldn't. If that was the case he was too afraid that he'd lose it, or do or say something that he would seriously regret. But how could she seriously believe what she had said about him?

Ok, cool it. You don't know that she believed what she had said. Some of the things you said weren't true, it could be the same for her.

He repeated this over in his head a few times, before burying his head in his hands and then running both hands through his hair with a sigh. When he looked back towards the ocean he heard footsteps behind him. The footsteps weren't rushed, in fact they seemed very hesitant, pausing a few times before sounding as though they were close behind Michael. He turned to see Sydney standing a few steps away from him, twisting her hands together and staring down at them.

"Hey," Sydney said quietly, as she stopped twisting her hands but kept them clasped tightly together, unable to look Michael in the eye.

"Hey," he replied, his voice a bit stronger then hers, but still quiet.

There was a brief silence and Vaughn took the time to study her. Her eyes were red and it was obvious that she had crying. Even a few of the front strands of her hair were wet.

"Michael, I, I need you to know how sorry I am. I was such a bitch to you and you didn't do anything to deserve it. I understand if you don't want to see me for awhile or if you don't want to forgive me but I don't know what I would do if you couldn't forgive me. I am so sorry Mike. I blew things completely out of proportion and took all of my anger out on you. I shouldn't have done that, it was wrong and I was a total idiot, I didn't mean anything I said. I really didn't, I just, I got too stressed out about this mission stuff, and about Eliza, when I know that I don't really have anything to worry about."

Sydney took a deep, but shaky breath before looking at him again and continuing.

"I love you so much, and I appreciate everything you've done for me more then you will ever know, even if I basically said the opposite before. You have to believe that I didn't mean what I said. I don't know what I would do if I hadn't met you, if we had never gotten together. And I don't ever want to now. It's just, I had this perfect life for a while, the one I've always dreamed about, no CIA, no SD6. Just me being a school teacher, and coming home to you. This whole mission thing is making me feel as though they're taking it away from me. And I'm afraid that after I do one mission, they'll make me do another and another, and I really don't want that. I'm really, really sorry Mike. And I really hope you can forgive me but I understand if you want me to move out for a bit, stay at Will and Francie's or something, or if you don't want to see me at all," her voice cracked as she said the last bit, and silent tears slid down her face. She roughly wiped them away and crossed her arms, looking up at him, "I'm so sorry,' she said again as her body began to shake with the effort of trying to hold back her cries.

"Sydney, Syd, come here," Vaughn said gently as he pulled her to him. Her arms wrapped themselves tightly around his back, as if afraid that if she let go he would disappear. Michael continued, his voice gentle as he stroked her hair. "I'm sorry too, and I didn't mean all the hurtful things that I said either, But there's no way possible that I would never want to see you again. I love you way too much." He pulled away a bit so that he could look her in the eye. He pushed a few strands of hair behind her face, and she offered him a week smile in return.

"We're gonna have fights Syd, every couple does, ours are just a bit more complicated. But we will get through them, every single one, I promise."

He finished this off by kissing her forehead and wiping away a few more tears that had fallen. She looked up at him and he lowered his face to hers in a gentle but passionate kiss. They stood there for a while longer once they finally pulled apart. Sydney faced the ocean with Michael behind her, his arms wrapped around her waist and her hands covering his, as she leaned against him and he rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Come on, let's go home," Michael whispered into her ear. He kissed her on the cheek before pulling away and taking her hand. Sydney however didn't think this was close enough, so she let go of his hand and wrapped both arms around his waist, one arm going around the back and the other around his front. He smiled into her hair and kissed her forehead once more, wrapping both of his arms around her shoulders. They walked towards the car, smiling for the first time in hours.

They finally arrived home to the phone ringing. Vaughn reluctantly released Sydney to answer it, and Sydney went to turn on the radio.

Vaughn walked back into the lounge room to find Sydney looking through their DVD collection and singing along to 'Lost without you' by Delta.

He grabbed her hand and spun her around as she laughed. They then began to slow dance in time to the music.

All I know is I'm lost without you I'm not gonna lie

How my going to be strong without you I need you by my side

If we ever say we'll never be together and we ended with goodbye don't know what

I'd do I'm lost without you

I keep trying to find my way but all I know is I'm lost without you

I keep trying to face the day I'm lost without you

They continued to dance as they smiled at each other and talked, sharing the occasional kiss. As Delta's song came to an end Hilary Duff's 'Anywhere but here' song started to play, and Sydney and Vaughn continued to dance together.

When I'm in a crowd

Or on an island by myself

Silent or too loud

Wishing I was somewhere else

And I can't believe

You hit me fast and hard

When you turn to me and say

Never change the way you are

Trying to catch your eye

Things will never look the same

Now I can't deny

You're the moth and I'm the flame

There I go again

I should walk before I run

How can I explain

I can't stop

what you've begun

They danced a bit faster to this song. Michael constantly spinning and dipping Sydney, making them both dissolve into laughter.

I'm falling through the door

Flying 'cross the floor

When you look at me suddenly it's clear

You're burning up my dreams

Crazy as it seems

I don't wanna be anywhere but here

Anywhere but here

What goes on inside

Is a mystery no doubt

A roller coaster ride

I may never work it out

Here's the brand new me

Skates around and floats on air

I'm a sight to see

Rainbow colors in my hair

You have set me free

The one who gets me there

Sydney thought about how relevant this song was to their relationship as she continued to dance. She had changed when she met Vaughn, she was more fun, more carefree. She still missed Danny but she had moved on. Michael was the only important thing in her life right now. And she definitely feels like she's floating on air whenever she's around Mike. She didn't want to be anywhere else but where she was.

Here is the place where

My head is spinning

Time is beginning

To race away

You come to throw me

Knock me off my feet

You give me wings to fly

The worls goes crashing by again

I'm falling through the door

Flying 'cross the floor

When you look at me suddenly it's clear

You're burning up my dreams

Crazy as it seems

I don't wanna be anywhere but here

Anywhere but here

Vaughn was also thinking about the relevance of this song. He was so much happier around Sydney, happier then he had been with Alice, or with any of his other girlfriends. Everything they had been through together was worth it to get here. He had also changed when he met Sydney. He never laughed like he laughed with her, he wasn't as deeply involved with his work anymore. She was the most important thing to him.

The song ended and they both decided to grab something to eat while they watched a DVD. Things seemed to go back to the way they were before learning about the mission. If anyone saw the two now they would never think that during the same day they had had the biggest fight of their relationship so far. They then headed off to bed, arms wrapped around each other, both of them sleeping without a problem, dreaming about one another.
