[We are fast reaching the end of our tale of two lovers with more that what's going on in their heart to worry about (Michael and Mia for those I have confused with my clever and confusing old English talk) I should have this story finished soon, but seeing as I'm soooo far ahead I might as well do some more 'original' writing until I have put all of this story up. Then I will have to work out which ideas I have bounding around my mind I will pick for my next super exciting story *grins* I know I haven't said it for ages, but thanks to each and everyone of you who had reviewed me. It makes me (as I have said several time before) scarily, bordering on psychotically, excited! I'm sure you all want that, so more please!!!!

Righto, when we left our love struck couple they were making up for three years of angst and sadness, before they were very rudely interrupted by evil Judith. So we will just have to see what little miss fruit fly cloner will do about it….]

I had a new person to add to my list of people who ruin everything, which had before consisted of just Grandmere. But we have a new entrée now, the lovely (can you tell I'm being sarcastic) Judith Gershner. Yes, just as I had righted three years of wrongs with Michael, she just happened to walk in. Great. Does she not know to knock before she enters. For all she knew Michael could have been naked. In fact, thinking about it more carefully, and then instantly wishing I hadn't, that is probably the main reason she didn't knock and instead barged right in. I think it would be pretty safe to say she was not pleased with what she saw. Then again, she had missed out on seeing Michael naked, so she was bound to be disappointed. But, I think it's pretty fair to say, seeing me sat there on the couch with Michael, did not make her day.

She stood in the doorway for a full minute, not saying anything, just with her mouth hanging open in what Grandmere would call a highly uncouth way. Personally I would rather say it made her look like a loser, but then again, who am I to speak. I'm a princess who abandons all her friends (unintentionally mind), how much more of a loser can you get?

However, eventually she did manage to cough out 'what is she doing here,' to which I took offence, and Michael quickly began to deny that we weren't doing anything we shouldn't be. Which was true, but at the time I sort of wished it wasn't.

'Judith, me and Mia weren't doing anything wrong, she's just an old friend, and she was explaining about what happened when she left.'

'Michael, I want to believe you, but I don't know. How do you know she's not just say all this stuff to get back with you.'

'Because, Judith, I know Mia, and I know that she would never do anything like that.' Well I obviously must have changed a lot in the last few years I thought to myself, smiling slightly. However my smile was eternally banished once I had witnessed what happed next.

'Promise?' asked Judith pulling I guess what she thought was a cute pouty face. Personally I thought it looked a lot more like a botox gone soo wrong.

'Promise,' Michael said, before getting up to where she stood in front of him, and kissed her on the lips. It was positively the most gross thing I have ever seen. And to think, those same lips which must have kissed Judith hundreds of times had kissed mine just a few hours before. One word: eww!

Once Michael had been able to prise himself away Judith's grasp, which was actually harder than it sounds, I stood up as well.

'I guess I had better get going then,' I said, while Judith glared at me.

'Yes you had. And seeing as you and Michael have sorted out everything about before, I guess there isn't really any point for you to come back again. So bye,' she said coldly, taking my arm, gripping it rather hard might I add, and escorting me to and then out of the door. I looked for Michael, but I couldn't see him, as Judith was blocking most of the door way I didn't have much luck. So I just left. At least, I consoled myself, I had done what I had really intended to do which was tell him what had really happened when I left. This was in fact the reason I had come to New York in the first place, as apposed to a nice little Caribbean island instead. So that I could tell Michael. Getting him to fall back madly in love with me was of course an aim of mine as well, not that I was in a hurry to admit it any time soon.

However, after all this wallowing there was new hope, as, as I was descending the last flight of steps, I heard someone call my name. It was Michael.

'Mia! Wait up!' he cried as he threw himself down the 5 flights of stairs which separated the two of us. 'Mia, I'm so sorry about Judith. I have to go away on business for a few days, but as soon as I get back I promise we will sort this whole thing out.'

'But what about Judith?' I asked, looking up the stairs to check she wasn't flying down in a mad rage after Michael, carrying a pitchfork with which she intended to spear me with. To my relief all I saw was an old woman struggling up with several broken bags of shopping, which had no doubt been broken when Michael whizzed past her a few seconds before.

'Leave her to me,' he replied, with a devilish look in her eye as he winked at me. My knees went wibbly and I felt 14 again. With that he kissed me softly on the cheek (which may I also point out did nothing what so ever to help the current state of wibbliness me knees where experiencing) and raced back up the stairs again. I gazed after him for a while, but then decided it was a bit stalker-ish to watch his hand on the rail travel up all 6 flights and so I exited the apartment block, and made the weary journey back through Manhattan and back to Lilly's apartment. And do you know what I thought, as I walked. Maybe Michael was going to leave Judith for me! Yes, yes, I know it's a long shot, but hey, if she got really desperate, she could always clone him…..

[I know just about nothing happened in that chapter, but I didn't want to have all that stuff mixed up in the next one! Only two more to go now! And then a new and exciting Mia / Michael adventure can begin………

Oo yeh, and review! :o)]
