.:CHAPTER NINETEEN/TWENTY – I'm With You:.


"I've got to go," Kendall said as his flight was called. He put down his hockey magazine and then smiled as Riley handed him his carry-on bag. He gave her a kiss that lasted for a while, breathing heavily when he finally pulled away. "I'll see you when I get back?"

"Of course," Riley replied with a raised eyebrow. "Just don't get too much of a big head, Superstar," She advised with a smirk, crossing her arms over her chest. "I've seen what it can do," she tilted her head back. "Just look at what it did with Patrick."

"Don't let him hear you say that," Kendall replied and put his arm over her shoulder and the two started to walk over to the gate, where the rest of BTR and DE were saying goodbye. "I didn't think that I would be going back to Minnesota for this amount of time." He squeezed her shoulder. "I'm excited."

"Now you know how we feel when we got back home," Riley replied, looping her arm around his waist and sticking her hand in his back pocket. "Excited, but sad since we have to leave you guys." She shrugged. "But at least we're not cold."

"But at least I can play hockey." Kendall reminded her.

"Yeah, I think I got that, Hockey-Head," Riley pulled his beanie off of his head and slid it onto her own. "Hey," she stopped next to everyone else, who were talking quietly. Well, in Gustavo's case, his 'quiet voice' something that Riley and Rhuben tried to teach him how to use, was still yelling. "Whatever happened to that nickname that you were going to give me to annoy me?"

"Oh that," Kendall grinned as he pulled his bag up his shoulder. "I came up with a lot of them," Riley raised her eyebrows. "Let's see, there was Atom Bomb, because when you get made it's like a violent explosion," he explained. "Tinkerbelle; because whenever you get mad your face turns red, Rage; that's self-explanatory but it's already your stage name, Butterfingers; because you're such a klutz, and Gustavo Jr. because you yell a lot, but then it nearly made me puke when I realized that if I made out with a girl I nicknamed Gustavo Jr. it would immediately turn me off."

"Yeah, I'd think so," Riley replied with a chuckle.

"So in the end, I decided to give you a nickname that accurately describes you, but wouldn't annoy you," Kendall replied and smiled, resting his forehead against hers. "Ruby; because you're beautiful, and your favorite color is red."

"Shut up," Riley snickered and lightly pecked him on the lips.

"Ahem," Ronan grabbed onto Riley's head and pulled her back. "We're right here you know." Kendall gave him a nervous smile. Ronan was cool and really laid back, but as soon as he had adopted the Jacksons, he seemed to have a tight rein (IE was really nervous) with Riley and Rhuben dating. Especially since they were dating their 'musical competition.'

"You're going to have to get used to us dating eventually, Ronan." Rhuben commented and smiled as James kissed her cheek.

"Really," Patrick smirked at her. "He's also going to have to get used to you having-"He let out a cry of pain as Noah stomped on his foot, effectively cutting off his sentence. Noah looked over at Rhuben and winked at her, and she grinned and gave him a thumbs up back.

Sydney laughed.

"Well, I think we should be getting on our plane." Kacy said as she looked at her watch and then turned to Ronan. "You being new to parenting and all, call me if you have any trouble, I'll be back here in a flash."

Ronan laughed and slid his hands into his pockets. "I think I'll be fine," he replied. "Besides, you have to watch over your guys, they can get into a lot of trouble as soon as you turn your back on them."

"I think they figured that out by now," Sydney said, his arms wrapped around Ronan's leg. "I mean, what with Gustavo turning away for a minute and they were already down Rodeo drive defacing a billboard."

"We were defacing it, we were making it better," Carlos defended himself.

"By putting an eye patch on Gustavo?" Katie snorted, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Hey," Kendall mimicked her motion. "I think Gustavo would look good with an eye patch!"

"I'll give you a reason for an eye patch," Gustavo replied. "IF YOU DON'T GET ON THE PLANE NOW! MOVE IT! MOVE IT! MOVE IT!"

The four boys scrambled for their bags and hurried onto the plane with Gustavo yellowed after them as he followed them. Kelly sighed as she turned back to the Jacksons. "Don't be surprised if the plane goes down." She joked and then waved and got on the plane too.

"Keep in touch," Kacy said with a wave.

"We will," Ronan promised with a smile. "Have fun back home, and to try and get some peace and quiet."

"With these guys, no way that's going to happen." Katie declared, rolling her eyes. Then she and her mother got onto the plane.

"Oh, hey, you guys didn't say goodbye," Ronan stated as he looked over at his five newly adopted kids.

"Why say goodbye?" Rhuben raised and lowered one shoulder. "We're going to see them again, it's not like they're going away forever."

"No, no, Ronan's right," Noah said with a smile. "Let's say goodbye. On '3' ok?"

"Why do I get the feeling that you're going to do something stupid?" Ronan mused to himself.

"1, 2, 3." Noah counted.

"GOODBYE!" The Jacksons shouted in unison towards the gate, ignoring the odd looks that everyone gave them as they did so. They then kissed the palms of their hands and pretended to throw kisses towards the plane.

"You guys are such dorks." Ronan stated, shaking his head.

"But we're you're dorks, Ronan," Sydney reminded him, patting Ronan on the back. "We're you're dorks. Let's go home."

THE END


A/N: Meh, the ending was kind of corny, but I liked it anyway. Soooo….that's the end of my first Kiley centered story. Thanks to everyone that reviewed and favorite and alerted and thanks for Pebbles9072 for requesting this story. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. It was interesting to show how similar Kendall and Riley are, yet completely different at the same time. In other words, their relationship has many faces, but it's perfect. Hahaha

Don't forget that we take requests, as this was a requested story, thanks again for reading, and I'll see you at my next story. :)

Cheers,

-Riley
