AN: I've had a lot written down for a while. Here's most of it. Its about 1/3 longer than most of my other updates. It has a lot of little chapters embedded into it.

MistyRiver17: Thanks. I really wanted to get emotional in the last chapter. It was kind of a weird chapter to write, so I'm glad you liked it.

SVU Chicky: Its good to amaze people. Thanks somuch.

They walked away, "So," Ashley said, "Is going to Nicole's for a bit okay?"

Spencer realized that she was still holding Ashley's hand, but didn't let go, "Yeah," she replied, "Say hello, have a drink, say goodbye. Besides, I'd like to tell Nicole how good her performance was."

"Thats enough for me," Ashley replied. They got into the limo, and Ashley gave directions to Nicole's house.

Nicole zoned in on them right away, "Hey Ashley, hi Spencer. You two should get a drink."

"Thats a good idea," agreed Ashley, "Spence, want me to grab you something?"

"Whatever you're having."

Ashley left Spencer with Nicole.

"So," Nicole said, "How did I do."

"It was beautiful," Spencer praised, "You really captured the emotionof the moment. From the steamy to the misty, if you know what I mean."

"Thanks. So whats the epilogue to the story? When we where making it, Ashley was depressed most of the time. Especially during the scenes with me. Besides, I heard that ending narration. Now you show up here holding hands. Whats the deal?"

"I hadn't seen Ashley for 11 years before five days ago. I'm married... in a loveless marriage with a cheating husband and a 9 year old son. I saw Ash before I found out my husband was cheating on me. That day, I came back to find him in bed with another woman. That pushed Ashley and I together again. I didn't know where else to go for comfort from that," Spencer paused, "Why am I telling you this? You must be one of those people who crazy people tell their stories to for no reason."

"I was you. I understand and know you, but you don't know me at all. I bet its bizarre."

"You're telling me. How about having my memories portrayed by other people on a movie screen!"

"That sounds creepy, the way you put it."

"It really wasn't as bad as I'd thought. It was therapeutic in a way."

Ashley came bad, "There you go Spence. Two shot margarita."

"Thanks."

"Hey, there's Skye," Ashley noticed, "Want me to introduce you?"

"Yeah," Spencer replied, and then turned to Nicole, "It was great talking with you Nicole."

They walked towards Skye, "Hey Skye!" Ashley hollered, they came closer, "I didn't get to properly introduce Spencer earlier. Spencer, this is Skye. You know she played me in the movie. Can I tell her Spencer?"

"Sure."

"Skye, this is Spencer, she's my... um... well I don't really know what she is to me right now. But she's who Nicole played in the movie."

"Ah," Skye replied, "Well its okay you don't know, because you aren't into labels,"

Spencer laughed, "Thats true!"

"Its good to meet you Spencer."

"Yeah, you too Skye."

"We should peruse the room and the go. I have an 11 am interview with a woman from IFC."

"How cool. Well I guess I'll see you around. Bye Ashley, bye Spencer."

Ashley said hi to a few people before saying good bye to Nicole and then leaving.

Ashley went into the guest room to change into her 'gift'. She knocked on the bedroom door, "Spencer? Are you ready?"

"Just a second," Spencer dimmed the lights and took a deep breath before opening the door to reveal herself in a baby blue lingerie set, "Hi," she said nervously.

"Hey," Ashley smiled her confident smile.

They sat on the bed.

"Thanks," Spencer said.

"For what?"

"For the movie. You must have put your heart and soul into it. It was so beautiful crafted. It transported me back in time. I could feel all those weird, awkward feelings all over again, like it was yesterday. That end part, where you, well Skye finally come out and admit your insecurity in the narration. It was--"

"Spencer, Shut up."

"Okay," Spencer blushed.

Ashley looked at Spencer in the same way she always had, but this time it meant more, "That was the only way that I could be totally honest about everything," She kissed Spencer deeply.

This kiss was different. Spencer could feel it. Because Ashley had shared her feelings, and Spencer hadn't run away, Ashley was more confident. It made Spencer feel guilty about having a family, a husband when she was really in love with Ashley. She cast this thought out of her mind and kept kissing Ashley.

The kissing escalated. The lips wandered to other parts of the body. Clothes gradually started coming off. It was the perfect night.

The alarm clock rang. Ashley opened her eyes, "Damn, its 10 already? Shit. I have to leave in 40 minutes to get to that interview, and I have to look half-way decent."

"What?" Spencer asked disorientated.

"It doesn't matter. All that matters is that you know I'm leaving for my interview in 40 minutes."

"Okay," Spencer went back to sleep. She was exhausted. They hadn't gone to sleep until 1am. She could hear Ashley getting ready, but was too tired to watch her.

Half an hour later, Ashley yelled goodbye, and got into her car.

"Hello Ashley," the lady shook her hand, "You remember me from last night? My name is Elizabeth."

"Elizabeth. Hello Elizabeth," Ashley smiled.

"If you'll sit down over here, I'll have Ernie roll the camera. Then we can get this started."

Ashley sat.

An hour and a half later, Ashley went back to Spencer's

"Hey. How was the interview?"

"Fine," Ashley replied, "Ready to go look at apartments?"

"Yeah."

"Then lets go." They got into Ashley's car and went to the first apartment complex.

"Now there is never much available in LA as far as apartments go. All sorts of unknowns are renting them out, trying to make a name for themselves," the Realtor explained, "but I've found a couple spaces that meet your needs."

"Okay, so tell us about this one," Ashley said.

"Ah yes, Two parking spots per lease. There is a pool area for tenants and their guests in the back. Lets go inside shall we?" she showed them in, "This apartment comes prefurnished."

The couch was an ugly orange color, and the kitchen was dingy. But the 'master' bedroom looked as though it had recently been redone into a real love nest.

"I love the bedroom," Spencer commented, "Now whats the rule on making changes?"

"As long as they aren't structural, you use your own money and you let the landlord know, its absolutely fine."

"Cool," Ashley replied seeing possibilities in the kitchen/living room/dining room, "Can I consult with Spencer?"

"Sure. I'll wait outside."

"Hey Spence, with a little paint and a slip cover, this place could be great. I mean you see the bedroom. Its in our price range, its got a pool and this room is enormous. I say we've got to pounce on it."

"Great. I'm totally in love with that big bedroom."

"I noticed," Ashley flirted. They started walking to the door, "We've decided a yes!" she told the Realtor.

"Good. Lets go down to the security office and draw up the paperwork."

With the paperwork done, they walked back to the car, but before they got there, Ashley's cell phone rang.

"Hello? Who is this?" she didn't recognize the phone number.

"Hey. I can see you."

Ashley turned around 360 degrees, but couldn't see him, "Aiden, Where the hell are you?"

"You didn't tell me you two where looking for an apartment."

"Whats it matter to you?"

"Turn to your right. Spencer too."

They did so, "Why? I still can't see you."

"Because," he said, tapping them both on the back.

They both screamed.

Aiden laughed, "Because I own this place," he continued, "What'd you have to pay that lady to show you that apartment? She showed you the crappiest two bedroom I have."

"We are on a tight budget," Spencer explained, "Ashley is unemployed and I work as a secretary."

"Come on, I'll find you a decent one and keep the price like it is."

"You'd do that?" Ashley asked.

"Yeah."

"Thank you Aiden!" They both exclaimed, and both hug him.

"So I take it you two are together now?"

"Aiden!" Spencer exclaimed.

"Same problem," Ashley explained, "I've got to wait for Spencer."

"It doesn't matter if I don't move in for a few days does it?" Spencer asked Aiden.

"Its fine. Just give me a heads up when you do get in," he was leading them through some grass and woods to his favorite apartment, "Its a bit of a ways from the parking lot, but its worth the walk. Its a little bigger because its on a corner. I'm renovating all the apartments from this side to the other end. This one just got finished. I was going to put it on the market today," he unlocked the door with his master key. "Voila."

"I love it!" Spencer shouted, "Thank you so much for doing this for us!"

"I always felt bad for getting between you two that night. Spencer, I saw how you where looking at Ashley when you two went in for that kiss, and Ashley, I saw how you looked at Spencer all night. I wasn't a fool," Aiden turned and motioned them out the door, "Lets go change your paperwork."

Spencer just hadn't had enough of Ashley. So she called a babysitter as soon as she got home from picking up Parker.

"Rachel, I want you to babysit for me tonight. I want to see a friend to the airport for a red eye. Parker will be asleep the whole time, but I don't want to have to wake him up to take him with me. Can you come over around 10:30? I'll be back around 2 or 3 in the morning."

"Sure. I can do that."

"Great. I'll see you then," she hung up.

"You didn't have to do that," Ashley said.

"Yes, but i want to. Lets go return your car, so I'll have an excuse to drive you. I'll go get Parker."

Later, Ashley and Spencer where alone in Spencer's car.

"You know, if it weren't for your innocence, I would have been able to control myself," Ashley said out of the blue, "You're just so different than anyone I've ever met. And think, if I'd never met you, I wouldn't have my movie, and I wouldn't have been successful. I'm already getting business calls."

"This is going to get messy before it gets better Ash. I hope you know that. I just don't want to tell people right now."

"When then?"

"When I'm divorced."

"That could take a while."

"Yeah, I know."

"Spencer, I love you, I really do. Thats why I'll do it, but I don't like it AT ALL."

"I know, but you know how I am. I love you for doing this. I'm gonna miss you so bad."

They parked.

"I'll miss you too Spencer, but its only going to be a couple weeks," She kissed Spencer a kiss that would have to last that long, "Thanks for seeing me off," she smiled, "Love ya babe," she opened the door.

Spencer caught Ashley's hand, "I love you too. Have a safe flight," Spencer couldn't get out of the car to help Ashley with her bags, or both of them would cry.

"Until next time," Ashley said into the open window. She blew Spencer a kiss and the disappeared into an elevator.
