A/N: Ok, this is it! All done. Meddling Michael is now officially completed. Aww, I feel sad now. It was fun writing a mean Michael. Anyway, Please Read and Review. They make me happy, and put me in a good mood. – Which is good for all the people who talk to me. On the Rooney boards, on MSN and in real life, so if you review, you're making a whole lot of people happy. Think of it like that. On that note, if you have MSN, feel free to add me as I really don't mind chatting to anyone. Check out Rooney if you haven't already. Ok, that's my ramble over for now. Read, Review and make me happy! Enjoy!

"You … You do?" she hiccupped, looking up at me. I almost melted right then and there. She's so perfect. It's really soppy and girly, but I don't particularly care right about now.
She doesn't look disgusted! That's a good thing right?
"Yeah. I do." I genuinely felt happy. For once in my life, I actually felt happy.
"Great!" She laughed, tears pouring down her face now.
"Mia, why are you crying?" I can't handle crying girls. They always make me nervous. You never know what a crying girl will do. When Lilly cries – which is not often mind you – I'm usually the one with a sprained ankle, or concussion. It all depends on what kind of mood she's in, and why she's crying.
"Because I'm happy!" She giggled. Lilly calls me dumb all the time, but I've never believed her until this moment. Or maybe I'm just in denial.
"Oh. Why?" I asked. Well, I wanted to make sure I wasn't jumping to the wrong conclusions.
"Michael … I love you too." She leaned in and spoke very quietly. Almost too quiet. I wouldn't have heard it, if that wasn't what I'd been listening for.
"Oh. Well that's good. Because now I can do this." And I leaned in once more, this time knowing she felt the same way.
Isn't love grand?

You know what we forgot? We forgot to tell Lilly.
Whoops.
Oh well. She'll find out soon enough.
Yeah, Mi and I are a couple at last. Isn't it great? I'm so happy. Lilly screaming at me at 5 in the morning for waking her up when I accidentally tripped over one of the kitchen stools after Mia and I got that little business sorted out. I still find it amazing that after 8 years of loving each other neither of us figured it out.
It's almost like a puzzle, with one piece missing. You know? Never quite figuring out what the picture is, until you've got that last piece in.
Whoa, that was quite philosophical. I should be a professor shouldn't I.
It's really strange thinking that my …. Girlfriend? Is in the other room being preached to by my charming little sister. Funny, but strange.
I think I'll go look for her.

7:49pm
I got a phone call from Showalter on my cell phone, and he just thought he'd call and remind me about the fact I'm supposed to set him up with this girl. Ohh he has no idea what's coming to him. Anyway, I decided to call Judith and ask her if she wanted a boyfriend. Who knows, she might say no.
Judith: Hello?
Me: Hey Judith.
J: Oh, Hey Michael! Why are you calling? Not that I'm complaining of course.
Have I ever said how annoying I find Judith Gershner's laugh? It's not even really a laugh … more of a titter. Ugh.
M: Um, well I was wondering if you'd consider dating someone.
J: Ooooo I'd love to go out with you!! When?
M: Oh, no. No, no, no. It's not me. I already have a girlfriend –
J: Oh, since when?
M: Last night, if you must know. Anyway –
J: Who is she?
M: Mia Thermopolis. Anyway –
J: The Princess Eh. Well I can see why you'd want to date her. 300 million is a hell of a lot of laptops.
M: Judith, I'm dating Mia because I love her. It has nothing to do with how much money she has. I don't even care about that now will you shut up and listen to what I have to say?!
J: OoOoOo, fine. No need to get so touchy, I was only saying how –
M: Judith …
J: Oh fine. Go ahead.
M: Good. Now, how do you feel about a Mr Kenny Showalter?

Mia came and picked Lilly and I up about half an hour ago, and I smiled at her all secretly. It's great knowing something Lilly doesn't. It makes a pleasant change. Anyway, Mia knows all about the whole Kenny thing. I told her yesterday after the phone call to Judith what I was planning on doing, right up until I told her who I was setting him up with. Then she collapsed into a fit of giggles and couldn't form a coherent sentence for ages. I see the funny side, but I didn't realize it was that funny.
Kenny came straight up to me as soon as we'd stepped one foot into school, and asked who his 'date' was. I simply told him to go and look in the Computer Labs. Off he went like a little hare, running along the corridor. I think he was skipping, too!
Now call me old-fashioned, but boys don't skip.
I'm going straight off the point again aren't I.
Anyway, about 5 minutes later, the hall went silent and it wasn't that hard to miss the faint yelling that was wafting out of the Computer Lab.
"Oh god, No. Please, Please, PLEASE tell me you're not the girl Michael set me up with." Was heard first, followed by a
"Aww, you're sweet! Come on, we can go and get some egg fried rice after school! You're paying of course."
Mia couldn't hold it in anymore, and she leaned against the wall and slid down to the floor, her body convulsing in silent laughter. One look at her set me off too, and as I sat down beside her and put me arm around her, Lilly looked over, got this distinct look of shock and surprize, then went
"Wait. When did this happen?" she asked, waggling her fingers back and forth between the both of us.
"Um, Sunday morning." Mia gulped, looking down.
"Oh. Nice to see you're both not entirely hopeless." She said snottily, then walked off to where Boris was standing, leaving both Mia and I stunned.
"Did that just happen?" I whispered to her.
"I'm not sure." She muttered, looking at Lilly out of the corner of her eye.
"Oh Well!" We both said simultaneously, and when we saw Kenny being dragged out of the Computer Lab by a peppy Judith, we both couldn't hold it in anymore.
The death glare Kenny sent me just made it all even funnier.
"I love you, Michael." She sputtered, her face bright red from all the laughing.
"I love you too, Thermopolis."
And it was then I knew I really meant it.
