For Phil today was the day. It was the day he would finally tell Keely how he really feels. After her date with that other guy who knew when she would go out on a date with a guy who wasn't such a loser. Dancing with her the previous night on their "date" he realized he was spending so much time denying his feelings for her and not enough accepting the fact that he loved her. Yes love. The simple four letter word bounced around his head causing a horrible headache. The phone rang. Phil's heart jumped.
"Hello?" asked Phil shakily.
"Hey it's Keely, are you okay Phil," worried Keely, "you sound a little off."
"No, I'm fine, the phone just startled me, I guess," answered Phil still a little shaken up.
"Keely, there's something important I need to tell you," asked Phil surprised he even got the words out, "Meet me in the park in 20 minutes okay"
"Sure Phil," replied Keely worriedly.
They bother hung up. What was so important that he needed to meet her privately? "Oh no," she thought. He was going home. His dad fixed the time machine and he's going home.
"I'm probably overreacting," Keely told herself.

The elevator door opened. Via stepped inside. She tapped her feet to the elevator music and the elevator stopped. As it opened it was Owen.
"VEE, watsup?" asked Owen.
"Nothing really," replied Via as she looked at the numbers change on the elevator waiting to reach her destination.
"So how's life in NYC?" asked Owen trying to keep up the conversation.
"Fine," replied Via without looking at him.
"Come on Via, you got to give me more than that," said Owen.
"Your hair's coming in quite nice," said Via without returning a glance as she stamped her feet waiting for the elevator doors to open.
Owen quick ran his head through his hair or lack there of. "I'll take that as a compliment," he replied as he smiled at her.
The elevator shook. They grabbed the railings on the side. The lights began to go on and off. Finally the shaking and the lights stopped. So did the elevator.
"Please don't tell me were stuck," said Via.
Owen pressed some buttons but nothing happened. "Okay, I won't tell you," said Owen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phil sat on a bench at the park. He kept rehearsing what he would say. Nothing seemed to sound right. Suddenly she arrived. She looked beautiful.
"Hey Phil, you wanted to talk?" said Keely uneasy.
"Yea," said Phil, "Umm you can sit,"
"Okay," said Keely taking the empty place on the bench.
"Look I think I know what you're going to say," said Keely before Phil could get in a word.
"You do?" asked Phil.
"Just don't tell me," said Keely. "It's bad enough that you have to but I don't want to hear it."
"Oh," said Phil broken heartedly.
"So I guess you don't feel the same," said Phil.
"Feel the same what?" asked Keely.
"It's fine okay we can just go on being friends just forget it!" exclaimed Phil.
"What are you talking about?" asked Keely confusedly.
Phil just got up and walked away.
"Phil wait!" yelled Keely running after him.
"You're not going back to the future?" asked Keely.
"First, you let me know you don't love me back and now you want me to go back to the future?" yelled Phil angrily.
"No, I didn't mean it like…wait; did you just say you loved me?" Keely replied now completely confused.
"I gotta go," said Phil as he ran away leaving Keely alone and extremely confused.

"I can't believe I'm stuck in an elevator," said Via with her hand rubbing her head, "and with you!"
"Why thanks," said Owen sarcastically.
"I didn't mean it like that," Via replied.
"Yea, you did," said Owen in an upset sort of way as he began messing with the buttons again.
"Look Owen, I'm sorry," Via apologized.
"Look I don't know why you hate me so much, I've never did anything to you." replied Owen.
"I don't hate you," said Via, "you just kind of bug me sometimes, that's all."
"I feel so much better now," replied Owen.
"Owen!" screamed Via.
Owen laughed.
"What's so funny!" yelled Via in an annoyed way.
"You're pretty funny when you get angry," said Owen.
Via was about to yell at Owen but instead began to laugh.
They were smiling at each other and then suddenly the elevator came back on.
"It's working" said Via excitedly. Owen went to give her a hug and she without realizing hugged him back. Suddenly she realized what she did and jumped back.
"Via," said Owen as he pulled her back toward him and she looked into his eyes and they kissed.
The elevator door opened they quickly jumped away from each other. To see a tall built man in a navy suit standing in the lobby.
"Dad?" asked Via.
"Via?"
"Owen" said Owen, "Wait, did you just say dad?"
---------------------------------------------------------------
Phil ran in to his apartment. He slammed the door and kicked the coffee table.
"I'm so stupid, why did I tell her?" yelled Phil. He started pacing back and forth with his head in his hands. Then there was a knock on the door. He opened the door to find Keely standing in the hall. She looked up at him.
"What are you doing here?" he finally asked.
"Phil, I love you," she managed to say.
She stood in the doorway waiting for reply. "Okay then," she said awkwardly as she turned to walk away. She ran in to the elevator.
"Wait!" Phil said as he went after her. The elevator door was about to close but he pushed it to keep it open. She waited for him to say something. He stared at her and lunged forward to kiss her. She was surprised by the kiss and when they released the kiss she just stood there and then a smile spread across her face. His face too was filled with happiness. He kissed her again and they wrapped their arms around each other as the elevator door closed.
