Confused Feelings and Second Meetings

To: AliceinWonderland

From: HockeyFan23

Subject: (none)

Ok, how about we meet Friday? At the pier at 3:00, I'll have my dog Donovan with me.

Sydney stared at the screen for a full 2 minutes in disbelief. He wants to meet me. Oh. My. Gosh. Just then she heard Francie come in the door.

"Hey Syd are you ready to go?"

"Uhh, what? Oh yeah, the store yes, lets go!" Sydney said sounding a little flustered as she jumped up and grabbed her purse.

"Hey are you alright? You're acting kinda weird." Francie noted and then glanced at the computer screen. "Did you get another love note?" She laughed before walking over the desk and reading the email.

"OH MY GOSH! Syd, he wants to meet you again!" her friend said excitedly.

"I know," Sydney answered not too enthusiastically.

"This is great! Now you can really know what to do about Michael at the bank!"

"But what if internet guy is just as wonderful in person? Then what am I gonna do?" Sydney questioned.

"I don't know, but something tells me that this is all going to work out perfectly. Honey, you've been through so much in the past year and a half that I don't think this could possibly turn out badly. I think God wants you to be happy, and that something amazing is coming out of this crazy situation," Francie said confidently. Sydney looked at her best friend. How can she be so sure? I guess I should just stop worrying and go with the flow.

"You're right Francie, I'm sure it will be alright. Come on lets get to the store before Will gets here," Sydney grabbed her friend's hand and dragged her out the door. She was determined to forget about this crazy life for a few hours and just hang out with her best friends.

That same day, Vaughn's apartment

"So you're gonna tell her on Friday?" Weiss asked. He was sitting in Vaughn's apartment watching March Madness and drinking a beer.

"Yep that's the plan," Vaughn said taking a bite of pizza.

"So explain this plan to me one more time? I still don't know why you didn't just tell her it was you at Joey's that first time?" Weiss said.

"Because, I know that she would have been disappointed that it was me. I mean, she didn't exactly love me then, and I knew I had to get her to trust me before I revealed that it was me," Vaughn explained.

"Oh, wow that actually makes sense," Weiss stated. "Well good luck man, be sure to call me and let me know how it all goes."

"Will do friend."

Friday had come all too slowly for Sydney. Probably because she was a little bored being off work and all. Usually she would have been jetting around the world for the CIA or SD-6. Instead she was people watching and going the spa, and reveling in the fact that her double life had now come to an end. She couldn't describe the awesome feeling that gave her. Sydney could now really get on with her life and leave all the spying and darkness behind her. She glanced at the clock on the wall, there were still had a couple hours before she met with her friend. At least she was meeting Vaughn for lunch so she had something to fill the time with. When she arrived at Joey's Pizza, she found Vaughn already there and two drinks on the table. He stood up as she approached and greeted her with a huge smile.

"Hey Syd"

"Hey Vaughn, sorry you had to wait," Sydney said as she sat down.

"Oh you're not, I was a little early. So, what is goin on?" Vaughn asked.

"Oh you'll never guess what happened on Monday after lunch," Sydney said excitedly. "I got an email from HockeyFan 23 and he set up a meeting today at 3 at the pier."

"Today?" Vaughn said trying to sound surprised. "Wow."

"Yeah, I know" Sydney said trying to gage his reaction. They were interrupted by the waitress coming to take their order. After ordering they continued to talk about everything and nothing they could think of. When they were done, Sydney was amazed how fast time had flown. She hadn't even been anxious about her meeting later. She had been so focused on Vaughn and his company she totally forgot all about it.

After lunch Vaughn walked Sydney out to her car.

"Well I hope everything goes well today," Vaughn said.

"Thanks, I hope so too," Sydney answered.

"You know you gotta give this guy credit for his timing. I mean he's waited until you are sure there is no one else out there that you could possibly be in love with," Vaughn says.

"Yes," Sydney said warily.

"I wonder…" he pauses.

"What?"

"If there had been no SD-6, no CIA, and I hadn't been out of the country. And if we hadn't gotten off on such a bad foot…" Sydney interrupts him.

"Vaughn, don't."

"I would have gotten your number, and I wouldn't have been able to wait more than an hour to call you, because that smile would have been on my mind the whole time. I would have called you up and asked you out to dinner, and we never would have hated each other, and you wouldn't have fallen for HockyFan," Vaughn finished.

"No," Sydney said quietly.

"And the only thing we would have fought over would have been the remote control"

"Who fights about that?"

"I don't know, not us."

"Well I better get going," Sydney said after a long awkward pause.

"Yeah, you don't want to be late," Vaughn said quietly. Sydney stared into his eyes for another second before walking to her car. He watched her climb and then made his way over to his own car.

Sydney went home to shower and change before her meeting at the pier. As she changed she became more and more confused. Her heart was being torn in two different directions and she had no idea what to do. Just go with the flow…she tried to remind herself. But it didn't really work. She couldn't help but worry that someone was going to get hurt. And that that someone might be her.

Sydney took one last look in the mirror. She had dark jeans and a black shirt on paired with a tan suede jacket. She hopped into her car and drove down to the pier. Her hands were shaking so bad she could barely drive so she was thankful to get to the beach. She jumped out of her car and walked over the pier and looked down at the water. There were surfers, and girls tanning. Bikers and rollerbladers strode by while she stood there waiting patiently. If he stands me up again, I swear, I'm gonna kill him. Just then she heard an all too familiar voice calling after a dog.

"Donovan! Donovan, come here boy!"

Sydney turned around to see Vaughn strolling up the boardwalk following a pudgy little dog. Her eyes filled with tears as she shook her head in disbelief. Vaughn walked over to her with a worried face and pulled a tissue out of his pocket.

"Don't cry, please, don't cry," he begged as he wiped her tears away.

"I wanted it to be you. I wanted it to be you so badly," Sydney said with a smile. Vaughn smiled back and then kissed her. It was better than either of them had ever imagined. It was like the one thing they had been waiting for all their lives they had finally found in that one kiss. The whole world got kinda fuzzy and they were the only two people on that pier. They broke apart and then smiled like idiots at each other for the longest time before Sydney kissed him again and then Vaughn took her hand as they walked down the boardwalk ready to start what was going to be the best years of their lives.
