Title: California, Here We Come

Rating: PG to be safe, but most likely G

Summary: On the way to Cali in the jet….

Disclaimer: I own nothing, except for the new characters introduced in the next few chapters. I do wish I owned Michael, but sadly I don't :( but I'll keep dreaming.........The titles of the story come from the song California by Phantom Planet so I don't own them either....

Slight AU: Tina and Dave are broken up already BUT this story occurs right after the Rocky Horror Picture show, so Mia IS dating Kenny at this time. Also, Tina is the only one who Mia's told about her crush on Michael.

A/N: Please everyone let me know if you want me to make each person's POV longer or if you like it how it is???? Please let me know so I can make changes if necessary…

Michael's POV

Yes! I'm so incredibly thankful for Tina right now. Not only did she invite me on the trip, meaning that I get to be in California with Mia, but she also got it so I get to sit by Mia. I wonder if she realized the crush that I have on Mia. Maybe she feels bad because she knows that Mia doesn't like me. She probably just wants to at least make me a little happy, because she knows that I'll never have Mia. But hey, at least I'm with Mia now, while Kenny is behind us! YES!

Mia and I are sitting here laughing at Star Wars and saying all of our favorite lines. I am in pure happiness right now! I'm sitting with Mia. My Princess Mia, and I'm the happiest man in the world. Ok, well I mean maybe if Mia was MINE, then I'd be the happiest man in the world, but I'm awfully close!

I can't believe that I'm sitting this close to Mia. Every once in a while, our knees will brush or our eyes will meet, and it feels like we're the only two people on the planet. Although then, I'm shot back to reality, because I can feel Kenny shooting daggers at me from behind. But that doesn't bother me, because I want to enjoy this time with Mia as much as I can.

We talked about band, and her Algebra. We talked about how scary her Grandmere was, and about Fat Louie and my webzine. We just talked about everything. It felt nice to have someone that you were able to talk to so easily. That's why I love Mia…Well wait, LOVE?! Do I really LOVE her? I mean I know I like her, but yeah ok, don't fool yourself Moscovitz. You love her!

"Hey Michael," Mia said looking at me.

"Yeah?"

"What do you think it's going to be like in California. I mean do you think we'll have any classes together? Or what if there's someone like Lana? What if everyone there hates me. Or what happens when I get a new Algebra teacher. I mean we probably won't have G&T so you won't be able to help me. I mean, now I'm going to fail. My grandmothers going to kill me and…."

"Mia. Calm down. It'll be ok. I don't know if we'll have classes together or not, but we'll be able to see each other afterward. I'll make sure of that. If there's someone like Lana, well just ignore her like you do Lana. Don't let her bother you. Plus, if someone bothers you, let me know. I'll take care of it. And why would everyone hate you? I'm sure they'll love you. Why wouldn't they? You're amazing," I said as I blushed and then looked down at my lap. "and don't worry about Algebra, if we don't have class together, then I'll work with you wherever we're staying. I won't let you fail. And remember, don't worry. You're here to have fun. Plus Grandmere's not here. So enjoy yourself." I said looking at her. She was so cute when she was worried. Then, I saw her face loosen up.

"Yeah, you're right! I should have fun. I mean I'm here with my best friends! Plus, I have you! Why shouldn't I be happy?" she said and then she blushed. "I mean not that I have you. I just mean that you're here. So I have you with me. Well I have you and everyone else with me, not just you."

"Mia, its ok. I understand." I said smiling at her rambling.

I love this girl so much! Why can't she be mine?!

And then a few hours later…….

Well it's getting pretty quiet now. Everyone's starting to fall asleep. I turned around to see that Lilly had already fallen asleep on Boris' shoulder. Tina had fallen asleep and Kenny was asleep against the window. I could see Lars and Wahim were tired, but of course, they were trying to stay awake to keep a watch. I turned around and whispered to them.

"It's ok if you guys fall asleep. I mean we're in a private jet, plus I'll keep an eye out. I usually stay up pretty late anyway."

They then sighed with relief, grabbed their pillows, and both started to fall asleep.

That just left Mia and me. Although by the time I turned back around, Mia had fallen asleep too. So I guess, that just left me. I didn't mind though. I loved watching Mia sleep. She was like an angel. But I noticed that she looked quite uncomfortable. Her head was bent over and she forgot to use a pillow. She was scrunched up and she looked slightly cold. I smiled. She looked so beautiful. I found a blanket, and I covered her up. I then grabbed two pillows and put one behind my head and I started to lift up her head. As soon as I moved her head to put the pillow there, her head drifted down to my shoulder. I was going to try to lift her off, but then she rolled over onto her side and put her arm around me. As she moved, I could smell her vanilla scent. Am I dreaming? I pinched myself. Nope, this is real!

I could definitely get used to this. I didn't know what to do. I mean I loved her being that way. I loved being that close to her. But should I move her? I don't want her to wake up in the morning and freak out, because a creep like me was that close to her. I don't want her to think that I was all over her. Yet, this was really really nice. I didn't really want to move her.

Oh well. I hope she doesn't freak out. I'll just leave her there. I'm sure it won't matter too much. Kenny will probably want to kill me, but oh well. It's not like I put her there. Nope, it's not my fault at all. I mean, she put her arm around me herself.

I noticed that some of Mia's hair had fallen into her beautiful face. I gently pushed it behind her ear, and then kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight, Mia," I whispered.

I then saw her shift a little and she looked up at me.

"Shhh….Go back to sleep," I said rubbing her back.

She then pulled herself closer to me, put her head on my chest and snuggled closer. Wow! What did I do to deserve something this wonderful?

"Ok, goodnight Michael. I love you," she said as she drifted back off to sleep.

She looks so peaceful……wait WHAT?!!! Did she just say she loved me?? Did I just hear Mia Thermopolis say that she LOVED me? I must be dreaming or hallucinating. I mean Mia doesn't love me, right? She loves Kenny? Right? Right?!

Too bad. I'm sure I heard wrong. Or she probably meant Kenny, but saw me and so she said Michael. Although I wish she meant me. I wish that Mia loved me. Too much thinking, Moscovitz. You'll never have her. Just get over it.

I put my arm around her shoulder. I sat there for a little while, not wanting to go to sleep, scared that when I woke up, I wouldn't be close to her anymore. I was scared that I might miss something. After I while, I got too tired though. I put my head down on top of hers, inhaling her wonderful scent, and drifted off to sleep.
