Drake and Josh characters belong to their proper owners. I did create some characters for this fanfiction. "Measure of a Man" is sung by Clay Aiken. It was written by Steve Morales, Cathy Dennis, and David Seige. Any other songs mentioned also belong to their proper owners. Because you all know how much I love sticking lyrics in these things.

I'm glad you guys were begging me to get them back together, and then were happy when they got back together. That means your connecting with the characters. Which means I wrote them well. At least that's why I hope you guys are leaving reviews like that, lol. Still a few more things to wrap up. A side note: closure between Drake and Cassandra's parents will not come until the third story in the series, so don't wait for it in this one. It'll be in the next one. I wasn't going to split it up. Then I realized I should or I'd probably have a bit of trouble working on the next story. So, not in here. Just warning you. This one is mostly closure between Drake and Cassandra. After this, three more chapters. Oh yeah, another side note: I love Alexa's character. :-)

Josh wiped the counter where some soda had spilled. Drake had been so unhappy when he left. There had to be something he could do for him. He looked around. He saw Helen making her rounds around the theater. He saw Scottie arguing with Crazy Steve. He saw Trevor, Scottie's brother, trying to get a date with a cute girl. He saw Mindy writing a letter to her pen pal. He saw Drake walking in with his arm around Cassandra...wait a minute!

"Drake!" yelled Josh.

"Oh, hi Josh," Drake called back.

"What happened?" asked Josh, still yelling across the lobby.

"Her parents relented!" Drake yelled back. Cassandra turned red. Her boyfriend and boyfriend's brother yelling at each other across the lobby of the Premiere was drawing all attention toward them.

"That's great!" Josh yelled.

"Would you two stop yelling? Some people are trying to write here!" yelled Mindy from her table.

Josh walked over to Drake and Cassandra.

"You're finally back together again!" Josh exclaimed, still yelling at the top of his lungs.

"Josh!" said Drake. "Dude, we can hear you. You're right in front of us!"

"Oh, yeah," said Josh. "This is great. Just in time for Homecoming too."

"Yeah," said Drake. "I'm glad. This is going to be the best year ever."

Mindy walked over to them.

"I see all is well," said Mindy.

"Yep," said Cassandra.

"I trust you're both back to normal then," said Mindy.

"Yeah, horrible girl," replied Drake.

"Yes, Drake's back to normal," said Mindy.

Trevor walked over.

"You know," he said. "Some girls don't appreciate compliments."

"Is that why your cheek is red?" asked Josh.

"I guess so," responded Trevor. "Hey, you guys are back together." Trevor hadn't exactly been helpful to Drake while he wasn't allowed to date Cassandra. Mainly because most of the time he forgot about it.

"Yes Trevor," said Drake, a bit sarcastically. "We are."

Alexa came running into the theater.

"Where have you guys been?" asked Alexa. "I looked at Drake's house but you weren't there."

"Sorry," replied Cassandra. "Everything worked out though."

"Yeah, that's good," said Alexa. "I was hoping it would when you told me your parents were going to let you see Drake again."

"Hey," said Drake. "She knew first?"

"She was there five seconds after my parents gave in," said Cassandra.

"Well," said Alexa. "If you're going to Homecoming now, you're going to need a dress."

"You weren't going to go?" asked Drake.

"No," said Cassandra.

"Why not?" asked Drake.

"Can we talk about this later?" asked Cassandra. Everyone around her made her kind of nervous and there were some things she wanted to tell Drake privately.

"Okay," he said.

"Tomorrow we're going dress hunting," said Alexa. "We'll find you the perfect dress."

"A week before Homecoming?" asked Josh.

"It shall be done!" Alexa replied.

Alexa and Cassandra covered every store in the mall that sold dresses. They made sure to try stores where they kept track of who bought what dress from each school.

"I don't know if I'll find a dress Alexa," said Cassandra. "There's only a week to Homecoming. A lot of them are probably gone."

"Oh, come on," said Alexa. "We'll find one."

Cassandra stopped in front of a store. A gorgeous pink dress stood in the window. She was sure someone else from their school would have it already.

"It doesn't hurt to ask," said Alexa and dragged Cassandra into the store.

"I wondered about that dress in the window?" Cassandra asked the salesperson.

"Oh," said the salesperson. "Yes, let me see."

She took it down and checked the size.

"Would you like to try it on?" asked the salesperson.

"Yes," said Cassandra. She went into the dressing room and slipped the dress on. It felt pretty good. She looked in the mirror. It looked really nice on her. She came out to show Alexa.

"Oh my gosh, you look great," said Alexa. "You have to get that one."

The salesperson was busying herself with the book of dresses purchased.

"Lucky you, no one's bought that dress from your school yet," she said.

Cassandra quickly paid for the dress. She knew it was going to cost a lot. She was paying for time and how nice it looked. She didn't care though. She and Alexa finally went home.

"Remember," said Alexa. "We're all meeting at my house next Saturday at 3:30. Our reservations are for 4:30."

"Okay,"said Cassandra. She was glad everything was finally working out. Her parents finally let her see Drake again, and Homecoming was drawing near. She had her dress and everything was going well.

Drake and Cassandra walked out of the movie they had just seen and sat at a table.

"Drake," said Cassandra. "Can we talk?"

"Sure, about what?" he asked.

"Remember when you asked me about Homecoming and I said I'd tell you later? The thing is, I didn't want to go to Homecoming with anyone else. I didn't want to go without a date, because if I saw you there I wouldn't have been able to deal with it."

"You know," said Drake. "Up until you walked in my door the other day, I was dateless for Homecoming. I didn't want to go with anyone else either. I hadn't planned on going before I got on court either."

"To be honest I was worried you were going to go with someone else."

"Cassie, there's no one else I want to go with."

"Well," said Cassandra. "I guess none of that really matters now."

"Nope," said Drake. They felt things were fine between them now. They were both finally happy again.
