Good job everyone. I got six reviews between last night and 2:45 PM today. Glad to see you're reviewing!

Three Cheers for koolishcutie112092 ya hit the nail right on the head! At least I'm not the only one that knows Aly's middle name. I was afraid that I was becoming a little… weird about it and/or her.

My thanks to sponkier- yeah… I do enjoy writing stories. By the way, when you said that you liked that saying, did you mean "Things do not change, we change," or "It's Not A Side Effect Of The Cocaine, I'm Thinking It Must Be Love,"? Or was it something else that I missed?Just curious. I like both of them.

roxy-sweetie93-- I felt that it was time that we saw a romance ficcy that wasn't totally Pheely. Ya know what I'm saying?

Pathos of the Skies- Yay! I'm appreciated! Sorry I wasn't able to update earlier. School can really be a pain… What with the legality of it all..

Anyway everybody, here is my next chapter, named after a Modest Mouse song.


"Well," Phil breathed, as the light from the front porch shone on them. "Goodnight, Keely." Before leaving, though, Phil leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips.

When he left, Bonnie said, "Goodnight, Phil."

Boy, did I actually think that? Keely thought. Phil's cute, but did I just imagine him kissing me instead of Bonnie?

Keely had been drifting in and out of sleep on the couch when Bonnie and Phil walked up to the door. When they came, she snapped awake, and noticed their shadows from the lights across the street on the wall.

Bonnie entered the house and turned on the light, causing Keely's hands to fly to her eyes to shield them. "Hey," Bonnie said to her, moving her feet so she could sit down.

"Hey," Keely muttered, wiping the sleep from her eyes. "How'd your date with… him go?"

"It was amazing! He… but I'm sure you don't want to hear about it…"

"No, go on," Keely insisted, and Bonnie regaled her with a tale of the whole night, how he had taken her to the top of a tall hill where it was so clear, you could see every star, how they'd shared their first kiss under the starlight with a view of the entire city, how great a kisser he was…

"And then we came back here," she ended, simply. Keely nodded, and laid her head down again. After a long pause, she added, "This isn't weird for you, is it? I mean, my dating your best friend?"

"Don't be ridiculous," Keely laughed. "I think it's great… Though…"

"Though what?"

"I mean… I wouldn't really consider him my best friend. I mean, even when Tia gets a boyfriend, she's able to hang out with me…"

"Well, you threw him out of the house earlier today…" Keely regarded Bonnie suspiciously. "I heard you shouting at him. I'm willing to bet most of the street did, too."

"Well… he just got so mad at me... I mean, all he was talking about was you, and I was getting a little sick of it. If I wanted to hear about you, I'd go to Mom." In an eerie imitation of her mother, she squawked, "Why don't you try and act more like your sister?"

"He was talking about me?" Bonnie asked. Keely nodded. "Wow…"

"I mean… it's cool that you two are a couple now, but… I mean, we never hang out anymore. I just wish that he'd at least remember that he's supposed to remember his friends."

"He hasn't forgotten about you," Bonnie whispered, so quietly that Keely didn't hear a thing.

Keely sighed. She really wanted Bonnie to be happy. Bonnie hadn't ever really had a meaningful relationship with a guy, and she knew that Phil was something special. Phil had seemed so ecstatic when Keely said she didn't care if they went out. She couldn't deprive them of their happiness, no matter what she felt about the situation. Still… maybe it would be best to tell Bonnie the truth.

"Bonnie… If you're going to develop a serious relationship with Phil… maybe you should know the truth about him…"

"Can the truth wait, Keely? I need to take a shower…"

Keely sighed. "I guess…" The truth could wait until Bonnie got out of the shower… But when Bonnie came out, Keely was fast asleep, and Bonnie didn't want to wake her. She'd simply learn 'the truth' in the morning, so long as she reminded Keely about what she was going to tell her…


Ta-dow. Chapter complete. More reviews means better chapters- without guidance from you guys, what will I do?
