Okay peoples! A few people asked for me to put up the alter ending and now that I FINALLY have some free time I'll put it up. It's short and not much, but some freinds from school read my original ending and thought it was cheesey. I liked the last ending better, but I wrote this one anyway. So after this, "I'v Been Meaning to Tell You" will be officially over! Enjoy!

I'v Been Meaning to Tell You
chapter 10: Alternate Ending
( Last left off at the part where they were dancing and the song is just ending. This is all supposed to be a comedy moment...)
" I love you Rai." Kimiko finally managed to say after the lingering silence.
Raimundo was stunned. He was so shocked that he just stood there speechless untill the little voice in his head was yelling " Snap out of it you idiot! Did you just hear that! Wake up and say it back!" Finally he regained his senses and smiled warmly.
" I love you too Kimiko. Actually I'v been trying to tell you all week... I just never found the right time..." he said softly while staring into the depths of her azure gaze. He then chuckled a little at the memory of his failed attempts. " Ya know, after almost being killed by Omi's frisbee and crashing through the bottom of your beach chair, it's all worth it now." he finished as they began to move together.
" Yeah I..." then relization dawned on her face and there was that weird sound like music being cut short.
" Wait a second, YOUR THE ONE WHO DESTROYED MY CANVAS BEACH CHAIR!" she fumed and flames could be faintly seen shooting off her. Raimundo went wide eyed relizing his idiotic move and quickly slapped a hand over his mouth. She was never supposed to know about that... oh boy was he in for it this time...
" Uh-uh, um yeah... that was an accident." he studdered while rubbing the back of his neck. Kimiko was now in hercomplete firey hot-head overdrive.
" ACCIDENT? When I found it behind that boulder it was masacred! And I suppose thats why I found a face print that looked suspiciously like yours imprinted in the sand when I went back to get it?" she yelled as Raimundo cowared.
" Uh, well I kinda fell through it face first... hehe." he said twidling his thumbs, knowing that nothing was going to get her to calm down from this one. Wait, maybe there was... He smiled cunningly and straightened up and looked at her calmly with his usual carefree expression on his face.
"WHAT!"
" What what?" he said with the same smirk and relaxed tone.
" Raimundo!"
" Yeah?" he asked right up in her face with that smirk. She stared at his face so close to her's again for a few seconds without saying anything. Her anger finally started to deminish and she crossed her arms and pouted.
" Your a real pain you know."
"Yeah I know, but I guess thatwhy you love me eh?" he replied with that smirk still in place. He knew he'd won this time and he was'nt going to get the beating of his life when Kimiko half smiled and surprised him with a kiss. It was breif, but lingered until the end, leaving him stareing into her eyes again. He stood there contemplating what just happened for a moment before letting out a whoop of joy.
" Yes! No more interuptions and no more pain! And I won! Uh huh, go Rai, goRai!" he cheered to himself.
" Wait, won what?" Kimiko raised a suspicious eyebrow at him, making Raimundo abruptly freeze. He'd meant that he'd won by working his charm and saved himself from that beating. But Kimiko would never take losing as the result! No way!
" Uh, nothing." he said casually.
" Raimundo!"
"What! I was just talking about... uh... going insideto get a tomatoe?"
" Raimundo!"
" Okay okay! Fine, a potatoe then."
" RAIMUNDO!"
INDIDE THE HOUSE AT THE WINDOW...
Meanwhile, Clay and Omi were watching the whole thing from a window of the beach house while Dojo was sleeping in an eggroll box in the kitchen.
" Clay, what was the strange circular stepping that our freinds were practicing before?" Omi asked, completely clueless.
" That'd be danc'in lil buddy." Clay responded. " Ya see, Rai and Kimiko dont just like eachother as freinds. They love eachother." Omi opened his mouth to question further but Clay interupted. " It's to difficult to explain pardner. But Rai and Kim definately feel that way. Not to hard to tell." the cowboy smiled.
" I wish to understand the meaning of this " love" of which you speak. I must consult the Ancient Guide to Females!" Omi exclaimed and ran out of the room to retrieve the book.
" Omi, why'd you bring th-" Clay started to ask but stopped when he saw Omi had run off. He slowly shook his head at his freind's naiveness ( is that a word?) and rolled his eyes before looking back out to his two freinds sitting on the ledge of the platform.
" Well they argue 'bout everything, and their both a couple'a hot-heads, but somehow I reckon their perfect for eachother." Clay mused, but thenflinched when she saw Kimiko knock a fist over Rai's head and Raimundo just rub his head and smile as Kimiko laughed.
"Yup... lovebirds..."
Okay NOW it's the end. That seemed alot funnier when I wrote it like 6 months ago, but meh, just a little something diffrent. Hope you all liked it! I'll try to think up some oneshots soon too! And maybe a longer story! Maybe... Anyway please R&R!
