Tommy and Lil felt the spot light shine on them…

Both of their mouths feel open. The light blinded them as they stuck to their spot in the gym. They heard everyone cheer them in the gym. Kimi's smile disappeared…fast!

Kimi looked at everyone cheering Tommy and Lil on, and her heart felt like it had shattered into a billion pieces.

She was supposed to win, she had dreamed to win, she had –she had gone against her heart and dated someone she didn't like to get that prize. This had to be some mistake?

Tommy smiled hesitantly as he slowly started to pull Lil to the stage. 'Wow, the thought hadn't even crossed his mind that, Lil and him would even be in the running, much less win!'

He walked up to the stage with Lil and felt all the eyes on them. He couldn't believe it; a majority of the people voted foe him and Lil. There thoughts matched his, he also thought him and Lil were a good couple.

The hosts started talking again, "Well before we crown them the winners, we have a surprise that it took us quite a while to put together,"

She motioned one guy to bring out a TV. Lil looked at it in confusion, 'what were they going to do with that,'

The host looked at them and smiled, "you will be surprised," she stated.

They brought out seat for Lil and Tommy, and the rest of the audience took their own seats, Kimi and Sean weren't sitting together, Sean looked a bit upset, while Kimi just looked mad, and jealous as she watched Tommy and Lil on the stage.

Soon the lights were turned off and the movie came on. In bold letters it said Tommy and Lil's name. Then they showed Tommy and Lil a few years ago. The host, Brenda, paused it.

"First they were friends, this is a shot that was taken of them as freshmen, this shot was caught in the school camera's and we liked enough to add it to our movie,"

She played it, and Lil recognized the scene, as she thought back to it while it played.

Lil was at her locker when Tommy came up from behind surprising her, "Hocus pocus locus!" Tommy said, his fingers waving in front of Lil's eyes.

Lil's cheeks puffed out in exasperation and she slapped his hand away.

"Tommy Pickles, one of these days I'm gonna forget I'm a lady and punch you in you sinuses!"

"I've already forgotten you're a lady, so take you best shot." Tommy jumped back into defensive martial art position; one leg crooked up and hands in a not-quite-real karate position. "Whaaaa!" He squealed.

Lil was tempted to throw her books at him. Her math text alone was heavy enough to knock him into a coma.

"Your flies open," she said, brushing past him.

"What?" Tommy turned away and checked himself. Then he made a face. He had forgotten he was wearing sweatpants. "Hey! No fair!"

"Nice one," Chuckie said walking up to them, raising his palm.

"Thanks Chuck," she said as she slapped it.

Then the screen went blank, Tommy and Lil looked at each other smiling, that seemed like forever ago!

Tommy then smiled to himself, 'him and Lil had always been so close, she was always special to him,'

Then the next shot came on, this was them a few days ago sitting in their English class. Ms. Sa had just asked Tommy what love meant to him.

"To me love means, friendship. Its simple, friendship is love on fire! If she can't be my best friend, then how can I ever love her? It's that simple,"

That was the end of that shot.

"You see," Brenda started, "if you take the last shot and add these words into everything, doesn't it just show you how much they mean to each other."

Tommy's head snapped up, 'She's right, his words, they connected to Lil –not Kimi, when he thought of Love that was the meaning that came to him, nothing else…it was that!'

Tommy cleared his head, 'he couldn't think like that, he and Kimi were going to get together after this'.

The movie finished with a shot of Tommy and Lil, their arms around each other in the hallway.

"Oh and one more thing we got just now," Brenda added excitedly. The same guy who brought the TV out now replaced it for an overhead.

She placed something on it, and then turned the overhead on. It was a picture of Tommy and Lil just a while ago when they were dancing. Tommy had pulled her close and Lil's head rested on Tommy's shoulder. Then Brenda put another picture on the overhead beside that one. It was a picture of Tommy and Lil holding hands as babies.

"Awwww," all the girls on the audience squealed.

Tommy and Lil smiled at each other, Lil with tears in her eyes. She and Tommy, all this about them didn't matter, because this was all fake to Tommy.

Brenda brought over the crowns and crowned Tommy and Lil: cutest couple.

Then she put on a slow beat and the spot lights went on Tommy and Lil again as Tommy took Lil's hand and led her to the middle of the dance floor again. They slowly danced to the music. Lil never wanted that moment to end, she had her arms around Tommy's neck and she stared up into his eyes. Their eyes sparkled as they gazed at each other.

For a moment Tommy forgot about Kimi as some magnetic force made him lean down and cover Lil's mouth with his.

They were in their own world and didn't hear how everyone else cheered, nor did they see Kimi's hurt expression as she left the gym.

It took everything for Lil to pull away, as she looked at Tommy. She wanted to tell him how much she loved him, how much she loved that kiss, but he broke her off.

"Lil I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that, I guess I got a little carried away, that wasn't suppose to happen," he whispered so no one could hear.

He didn't know how much those words broke her heart. She nodded as she let go of him and back away as the song ended.

"Thanks Lil," he whispered as he hugged her tight. Then he hesitantly let her go, "I-I'm going to go find Kimi," he stated unsurely. For some reason he didn't really want to go, he didn't want to leave Lil.

She nodded stiffly and walked away, what he didn't know was, she did that so he wouldn't see the tears that exploded the second she turned.

Tommy watched her disappear into the crowd. He touched his lips as he remembered the kiss. Now that Lil wasn't here with him, he felt sort of empty; he couldn't explain it, as if a part of him wasn't with him.

He stood at that spot for a moment, his fingers still on his lips…
