Just Might (Make Me Believe)

"Why?" Serena asked.

"Because I really want to live in an apartment…"

"And I don't want to live by myself anymore." Lita said cutting Paige off.

There were a few moments of uncomfortable silence. Paige was terrified, but after about a minute, she said, "So we need some help moving by things to her apartment."

"I'll help." Haruka said as she jumped up, and went upstairs to Paige's room.

"Great." Paige said as she followed Haruka.

Once Paige got to her room, she saw Haruka sitting on her bed. She didn't know whether that was a good thing or not.

"Ruka, thanks for helping."

"You're welcome kitten. Come here and sit," Haruka said as she patted the spot next to her.

Paige sat down and said, "What?"

"Are you sure that you want to move in with Lita?" Haruka was worried about how this could work. She did not want Paige to get her hopes up again. "It's a big step, especially since you like her and I just don't want you to get your heart broken again."

Lita stood in the doorway listening to the conversation. She understood why her other friend was worried, but knew that Haruka did not have anything to be worried about. "Ruka we're sure."

Haruka looked at the doorway and smiled, "I didn't know you were standing there."

"That's ok," Lita said as she walked into the room. She closed the door first before saying, "We're doing this so that we can be together."

"You mean you and …"

"Yes, Ruka, we're dating," Paige said with a huge smile, "It just sort of happened. I promise you that we are not rushing anything at all! I just don't want to be here anymore and I mean I practically lived over there before so it should all be good."

"Kitten, I'm so happy." Haruka hugged Paige before saying, "And to think that Lita didn't return your feelings."

"Well, actually, Ruka if you help us we'll tell you." In reality, the thunder senshi had been afraid to tell Haruka. It was only right considering Haruka had let Lita know how much of a mess she had created two years ago.

Haruka nodded as she got up off the bed and grabbed a suitcase. She was truly happy for the two girls.

Since most of Paige's things were still in suitcases, it did not take long to carry them to carry them outside to the cars. The three of them stood out there for a few minutes loading when they heard Serena come outside.

"Paige why exactly are you moving in with Lita?" Serena did not understand why her sister was doing this.

Paige should have known there would be a fight because there usually was one. "I am moving because I want to. There doesn't have to be a reason. Is it so wrong for me to want to move in with my best friend? You and I both know that I practically lived there before I left." She was trying to stay calm because she didn't want to give Serena the satisfaction of knowing she upset her. "So I don't see what is so wrong about this."

"It is wrong because you are in love with her!" Serena exclaimed as she pointed to Lita.

As much as Lita wanted to say something, she knew that this was not the right time too. She never understood why Serena always had to act like she controlled Paige.

Paige sighed. She knew that was going to be the reason. She wished that she could tell her sister the truth, but knew that could not happen. "We both know that I will always love Lita with all my heart, but the two of us don't feel the same way about each other. So I had to let those feelings go. All I want is to have my best friend back."

"That is why you have spent most of your time with her?" Serena was angry. "I'm your sister so you should be spending time with me! I didn't go through getting everyone here and make sure your room had been set for you just so you could ditch us!"

"I have called and talked to you several times and you never want to talk for very long so that isn't my problem!" Paige was upset with how her sister was acting. "Look Serena, I tried to be happy about the party, but no one really wanted to talk to me. So I am not going to go out of my way to talk to them. Plus, Lita and I have almost two and a half years to catch up on. Also, if you had bothered to ask me at all then you would have known that I had only planned on living here until I found an apartment."

"Oh," was all that Serena could say.

Paige smiled when she realized that her sister was out of comebacks, "So when Lita offered, I jumped at the chance."

"Did you need any help then?" It was the only thing that Serena could do since she knew that Paige had been right.

"Nope," Paige said, "I think that Ruka and Lita got it all taken care of."

As soon as everything was in either Lita's or Haruka's car, the four of them drove over to Lita's apartment. Michiru had come along because she, too, had been bored at Serena's. They had managed to get everything up to the apartment and put her things into the guest room.

But if you look in my eyes

And tell me we'll be alright

If you promise never to leave

You just might make me believe

Michiru had silently been watching Paige since they arrived at the apartment and she could tell that something was going on. To her, it looked like Paige and Lita might be dating. After five minutes, Michiru asked, "Paige are you dating Lita?"

"Yes," Paige said with a big smile, "I am."

"I'm happy for you." Michiru walked over and hugged the blonde-haired girl. "I was so tired of seeing Lita lonely. You don't know how badly you affected her."

Paige nodded, "She told me."

"Just promise me that you won't let the girls know," Michiru said as she released the hug. "I just know that they are not going to like it and I don't want you two hurt."

"We know. They freaked out when I said that I was moving in with her."

"They'll do that." Haruka and Michiru said at the same time.

The four of them sat in the living room on the couch catching up on everything they had missed. Paige had not realized how much she had missed her best friends, but she was just glad to be home now. It was in that moment that Paige realized how hard this was going to be; however, it got a little better when she heard about Haruka and Michiru.

It was a couple more hours until Haruka and Michiru decided to leave. Paige was still shocked that she was living with Lita and that shock got bigger as she moved some of her things into Lita's bedroom. She kind of felt like a teenager again with as nervous as she was. Paige decided that she needed to sit and sort out her thoughts before she went back to the living room.

"Sweetie," Lita walked into their bedroom and sat down next to Paige on the bed, "what are you thinking about?"

"Huh?"

"I asked what you were thinking about. You've been in here for like ten minutes."

"Oh, just thinking about," Paige paused and for once she didn't know what to say. "I don't want to keep repeating myself, but what exactly are we doing?"

"We're dating," the thunder senshi stated.

"I know that," Paige playfully punched Lita. "I mean beyond dating. When the girls are around, what do we say to them?"

"That we're just friends." Lita took a hold of Paige's hand, "They don't need to know anything. If they suspect that something is going on then let them."

Paige sighed. She wished that it would be that easy, but she knew that she could not just go and lie to her sister. "I realize that Serena and I aren't that close, but I wish that I didn't have to lie to her."

"But that's just it. She only wants to be happy and th-"

"The only ones that are allowed to be in love are the ones that were in love in the moon kingdom," Paige said as she interrupted Lita.

Lita hated that rule. It was not fair to anyone, but since it was Serena's rule she decided to her best at following it. "Yeah, I know, but it doesn't matter because we are always going to be friends and that is what they will see."

"No matter what?" Paige carefully asked.

"No matter what," Lita said smiling. "Besides we know that we love each other and that is all that matters to me. I don't need their approval to love you."

"Me either," Paige said before she kissed Lita. "I just wish we didn't have to lie."

"Me too."

The young couple sat on the bed enjoying each other's company. It was comforting to Paige to know that Lita loved her, even if it wasn't a true confession. This had been the first time in her life that she felt truly happy and she knew who to thank for that. Lita, on the other hand, was just happy to have Paige around and to know that the younger girl still felt the same way as she had almost three years ago.

"What are you thinking about now?" Lita asked as she laid back on the bed.

Paige smiled, "You."

This time it was Lita's turn to smile, "Why me?"

"Because you make me happy and nervous at the same time."

"Nervous about what?" Lita was confused as to what she could be nervous about. "Don't tell me that you are thinking dirty thoughts."

Paige looked down at the bed, "There were no dirty thoughts this time."

"That's good." Lita noticed that something was wrong, "What is wrong?"

The moon princess could not tell her girlfriend that the thought of sleeping in the same bed made her nervous. It confused her as to why it would since they had always slept in the same bed before she had left. "It's nothing."

Lita did not buy that for a moment, but she knew that Paige wasn't going to tell her either. "It's late," she sat up and said, "so why don't we just call it a day and go to bed?"

Paige nodded as she walked over to get a pair of pajamas. She then went to the bathroom. For once she didn't feel comfortable even changing in the same room as Lita. She didn't understand why she was so nervous, but decided that it stupid and she didn't need to be nervous. After ten minutes, Paige left the bathroom dressed in blue pajama pants and a white tank top. As soon as she got to the bedroom, she could tell that her girlfriend was already asleep. Paige was secretly happy about that as she climbed into bed. As soon as she laid down on her side, she felt Lita's arm wrap around her waist and Paige fell asleep.

This chapter was hard to decide where to end at, but I think it turned out fine. Let me know what you guys think.
