Author's Note: Sorry to leave the last chapter so short, but I was having writer's block. It's all straightened out now. No more short chapters (hopefully). Oh, and by the way, the last chapter took place about a month after Lizzie and Ryan were split up. Sorry if there's any confusion.
Lizzie was driving recklessly down numerous streets, turning left and right, hoping to get lost. She finally pulls over to sort out her thoughts.
"UUUGH! Why did they have to do this?"
"I don't know."
Lizzie turns around and sees Chris sitting in the back seat of her car.
"How did you get in here?"
"I orbed in while you were driving. You really should drive more carefully."
Lizzie turns back around and rests her forehead on the steering wheel.
"Great! Did Dad send you to baby-sit me?"
"No, I came on my own free will."
"Well do me a favor and leave. I need to be alone."
"No you need someone to talk to. But since you asked me to, I'll leave."
Chris orbed out with a big grin on his face. Right after Chris left, Lizzie hears the sound of someone orbing in.
"I thought I told you to leave!"
"Actually, you left. You didn't tell me to do a thing."
Lizzie turns around and to her surprise, Ryan is sitting in the back seat. She turns back around as tears start to swell up in her eyes.
"What are you doing here? We said goodbye. We aren't supposed to see each other."
"I know, but I had to see you, other than when you were sleeping."
Lizzie, with tears rolling down her cheeks, turns around to face him.
"That was you?"
Ryan wipes a tear off of Lizzie's cheek, and smiles.
"Yea."
Ryan leans in to kiss Lizzie, but she pushes him away.
"We can't do this. I mean, I want to, but..."
She trails off leaving her sentence unfinished.
"But what?"
"Dad."
"Leo?"
"The reason the Elders split us up is because they think you're going to get me pregnant and the baby would be evil."
"I didn't want to do THAT!"
"I know, you just wanted to make out or something, but that's always how it starts."
Suddenly, the both of them are orbed out.
--------------------------------------------------
Lizzie and Ryan look around and find themselves in a familiar place, surrounded by Elders. Leo walks up to the both of them.
"Lizzie, you have proven that you are responsible enough to have Ryan as your white-lighter again."
Tears start to roll down Lizzie's cheeks again.
"Are you serious? This isn't just some really twisted way to play with my emotions?"
Leo nods his head.
"Does that mean we're not breaking the rules by being together?"
"Umm, technically, there are no rules since your mother and I broke them thirty-odd years ago."
Lizzie turns to Ryan, whom embraces her in a hug. He then orbs them back to Lizzie's car.
Hah! Bet you weren't expecting them to get back together so soon! Or maybe you were, but anyway, I wasn't going to put them back together until later in the story, but I decided to be nice. And I even made it so it's not against the rules for them to be together! You may thank me in your reviews! (Not really, you don't have to thank me. I don't want to seem arrogant or something.)
