This is the last chapter of this story. Enjoy!

"Sure, you pick one out and I'll pop some more popcorn," Kate said as she walked into his kitchen.
Tony scanned his shelves full of movies and picked one of his favorites. Kate came back into the living room as Tony sat in the chair, his arms wide open waiting for her.
She grinned and accepted the invite, sitting right next to him. The menu screen came on the TV and Tony pushed play on the remote. The title credits.
Serendipity
"What the hell does that mean?" Kate exclaimed.
"Just watch," Tony said calmly as he pointed to the screen.
Kate sighed heavily and watched the movie.
-------------------------------------
Molly Shannon and Kate Beckinsale walked the streets of New York, buying knock off wallets and running into guys in costume.
Kate Beckinsale played Sara, who believed that fate would reunite her and Jonathan, a man she met one night while visiting the city.
Jonathan, or in real life, John Cusack, was searching for Sara, who he spent one amazing night with that ended with only a good night kiss.
-------------------------------------
Kate laughed at all the right parts and even threw popcorn at the screen a few times when a character did something stupid.
Tony loved her laugh. He began to think about the incident that brought them together. Maybe if the plague hadn't almost killed him, he getting sick would have been a good thing.
"You okay?" Kate asked him. Concern covered her face.
"Yeah, just thinkin'."
After a minute of silence, Kate said, "That letter with the plague...was very...seredipity-ish...-ness...-ous...or whatever, wasn't it?"
"Huh?"
"Serendipity means a fortunate accident, right? Well, it wasn't your fault you got sick and its kinda what got us together."
Tony smiled, "You know, that's what I was thinking."
He kissed her.
"Didja like this one?" he asked Kate after a few minutes of kissing to the tune of the start screen on the movie.
"I don't know why we need to watch any romantic comedies...we live one," Kate said matter-of-factly.
Tony grinned that grin he usually does when he has an idea.
"Let's watch 'Alien'!"
"I haven't seen it, but didn't we kinda live the ending...according to you, of course."
"Then how about 'Flesh and Blood' or any thing with Travolta?"
"No more movies tonight, DiNozzo. Time for bed."
He looked at her.
"You know what I mean," Kate said sternly.
Tony raised his eyebrows questioningly, "No, what do you mean?"
"Sleeping. Nothing else."
"Dang it! Tomorrow night then!"

Personally, this wasn't the best chapter I've ever written but I've been kind of stuck on ideas lately. So tell me what you think. Push that little button!
