Some hours later, Elizabeth and Todd were up at Miller's Point in Todd's car. Elizabeth, despite Todd slobbering all over her neck and making an obvious hint by putting 'Fever for the Flava', 'Let's Get It On', '2 Become 1' and so on, couldn't help but notice how beautiful Sweet Valley looked from up here, with all the lights twinkling like pretty little stars and the tide crashing against the beach on which Sweet Valley was situated. It was funny though, Elizabeth could never locate Sweet Valley on the map, and all she knew was that it was Southern California, on the coast...
Suddenly, Elizabeth was distracted from her thoughts to find Todd mauling her breasts.
"Uh... what are you doing?" she asked, laughing worriedly.
"Jeez Liz, what do you think I'm doing?" he said, through gritted teeth.
"It looks like you're... touching me... there..."
"Yes. I. Am. And do you know why Liz?" Todd demanded.
"No, it feels kind of funny to be honest..." Elizabeth replied, honestly.
"No. I'm doing it because we've been together since the sixth freaking grade and all we ever do is kiss! And even that's stale. I got better thrills when Margo took me out to the movies that time!" Todd said, exasperatedly.
"How dare you mention her? She tried to kill me!" Elizabeth screamed.
"Oh B.F.D. How many people have tried to kill you and Jessica now? There was Margo, Nora, that guy your dad locked up years ago and he came back twice, that werewolf dude you hooked up with –" here, Elizabeth tried to interrupt. She cheated on Todd regularly, and only felt guilty if he mentioned it "... I wish you'd stop milking the fact everyone wants to kill you! Have you ever thought there might be a reason for that?" yelled Todd.
"Yes, actually. But I didn't get anywhere. Why would anyone want to kill Jessica or me? We're both smart, pretty, popular, fun..."
"Frigid," Todd spat out, cruelly. You have to sympathise with the guy though, I mean they've been together four or five years now, he's a young hot-blooded male and Elizabeth just won't give him what he wants. And she's not even religious!
"Oh, Todd! Why can't you ever be like you used to, before you moved to Vermont?" Elizabeth cried, in despair.
"Because you see, Liz, here's how it works in Sweet Valley. Whenever anyone moves away from here and comes back, they change. Amy and I are prime examples," Todd explained, taking Elizabeth's hand.
"How did I not work that out? Did years of Amanda Howard mysteries not teach me anything?"
