Here it is! The moment you've all been waiting (and bugging me) for! Tech and Cassidy's romantic moment. I couldn't help but use the song, "Everyday" from High School Musical 2 for this scene, cause this might be Tech and Cassidy's last time together!

Chapter : "Everyday"

"Tech! Thank goodness that you're awake! Man, we were so worried about you!" Rev exclaimed.

"Sorry that I had you worried." Tech apologized.

"I'm glad to see that you are recovering." Zadavia smiled at Tech. "Rev, how about we go tell the others?" She suggested.

"Sure! Let's go! I bet they'll be really happy to hear this!" Rev disappeared. Zadavia followed him.

"Tech...You're okay." Cassidy whispered, almost not believing what she was seeing.

"Of course. What made you think I wasn't?" Tech smiled at her.

"I think that you being unconscious for a week may have given us that idea." Ace said, entering the room.

"Cassidy, would you mind getting me some water?" Tech asked.

"Sure." Cassidy slowly let go of his hand and walked out of the med lab.

When she entered the main room, she was met by five worried faces. "Is Tech okay?" Lexi asked.

Cassidy nodded. "Yeah, he's going to be fine." Just then, the effects of not sleeping for a week took its toll on her. Cassidy's legs wobbled and her eyes began to droop.

Zadavia picked her up. "Let's put her where she can get some sleep." Lexi led the way to Cassidy's room. Zadavia tucked Cassidy under her light blue blanket. "I'll stay here and keep an eye on her. Her immune system may be severely weakened from lack of sleep." Lexi nodded and left.

Rev decided to go see Tech. When he entered the med lab, Tech looked up. "Where's Cassidy?" He asked.

"In her room, passed out." Tech gave him a confused look. "She hasn't slept or eaten since we returned from Sari." He explained.

"Neither have you, Rev." Ace pointed out. Rev shrugged.

Tech attempted to sit up. "I have to go see her."

Ace stopped him. "I'm sorry, but you're in no condition to get up yet."

"Please, Ace. By the time I am, Cassidy will be half-way to Sari. Please." Tech begged.

Ace sighed. "All right." He turned to Rev. "Come on, Rev, let's help him."

When they reached Cassidy's room, Tech pulled away from Ace and Rev and walked on his own. Zadavia moved so that Tech could sit beside Cassidy. Ace put his hand on Rev's shoulder. "What do you say we leave dem two alone?" Rev nodded and the two left.

Zadavia could feel that Tech felt ackward with her presence. She silently exited the room.

Once in a lifetime

Means there's no second chance

Tech bent over and kissed her on her cheek. Cassidy's head moved and she whimpered. "Tech..."

"Ssshhh. Go to sleep." He whispered.

So I believe that you and me

Should grab it while we can

Hearing his voice, Cassidy's eyes flew open. "Tech?"

"I told you to go to sleep." Tech smiled at her.

Make it last forever

And never give it back

Cassidy sat up and hugged him. Tech wrapped his arms around her and held her as close to him as he could, never wanting to let her go.

It's our turn and I'm lovin' where we're at

Tears of joy streaked down Cassidy's face when she felt Tech's strong arms around her. It made her feel safe and protected, like nobody could harm her or tear her away from him. For the first time ever, Cassidy knew it was true, she loved Tech, and Tech loved her, too, and nobody could change that, not even her father.

Because this moment's really all we have

Upon thinking of her father, Cassidy received a sickening feeling in her stomach. She knew that if he found out about this, they would be in trouble. She feared what he might do to Tech.

Everyday

Of our lives

Wanna find you there, wanna hold on tight

Tech seemed to sense her fear, and gently stroked her head. 'I will never let him take you away.' He promised her in his heart. Cassidy sighed and rested her head on Tech's chest. He loved the feeling of her small body pressed against his, the feeling of her head nestled in his chest. It made him feel important to her.

Gonna run

While we're young

And keep the faith

Tech couldn't help but smile. There had been many moments when he questioned the way he felt for her. However, this time, there was no doubt about it, he loved Cassidy, and Cassidy loved him, too.

Everyday

From right now

Gonna use our voices and scream out loud

Cassidy looked up at him. Feeling her head moving, Tech looked down at her. Their noses touched. When Cassidy's dark brown eyes met Tech's olive eyes, Tech once again felt the urge to kiss her. But, this time, there was nothing holding him back, or forcing him to. His hand slid from her head to her cheek and stayed there, keeping her from moving away. But she didn't want to, anyway.

Take my hand

Together we

Will celebrate

Tech hesitated. 'Go on.' His heart and mind urged. 'She wants you to. Besides, you might never get this chance again.' Cassidy trusted Tech with her life, and on top of that, she wanted to kiss him, but loved him so much that she would wait if he didn't want to.

He wanted to, he just had to tell her something first. Tech stared into her eyes lovingly, and Cassidy returned that look. His fingers gently caressed her cheek. Tech opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by the sound of the door opening.

Celebrate

Oh, Everyday

"Uh... I'm not interrupting anything, am I?"

Uh oh! Who walked in on them? Stay tuned to find out!
